The Children’s Sleep Charity launched a new manifesto at Westminster on Tuesday, calling for better understanding and support about sleep problems affecting 40% of children and young people across England and Wales.
The manifesto explains three key aims, hoping to inform practice in order improve sleep help and support for children and families. It also looks at the impact that sleep deprivation or poor sleep can have. The charity aims to raise awareness about the importance of sleep, in the hope that more families can have access to free sleep support. This would include better information and support for parents and carers about things like sleep routines, which could help to prevent sleep issues at the earliest possible stage.
Over 50 charities and organisations, including Family Fund, have pledged their support.
Sleep Week 2017 is running from 23rd-27th October – click here to see how you can support the campaign this week.
You can download the manifesto on the Children’s Sleep Charity website.

Thank you for the detailed explanation of your issues.
The integrated security approach is only supported when you rely on the ADO driver itself. This can be done by either choosing the 'Use Telerik Data Access Connection Pool with Telerik Data Access Connection Management
' or 'Use ADO Connection Pool'
setting as you already found out.
The reason for that is, that when using the integrated connection pool, we are managing the open connections. Though we can not take care about the actual credentials used for the actual connection since our the connection pool just manages all connections with the same string. In case of integrated security, all users are using the same connection string and can therefore not be separated.
The ADO driver instead is able to handle this situation and is therefore the way to go. With the previously mentioned settings
you are using the ADO connection pool instead of the integrated one though with the 'Use Telerik Data Access Connection Pool with Telerik Data Access Connection Management
' setting we allow some maintenance tasks on the connections to be done.
Regarding the mentioned exception 'Exception in connection pool cleanup thread'. This could be related to the problem above though we are not tracking enough information at the moment to really know what the cause here is.
That said, with the next version of the Product, to be expected in mid of April, we have enhanced the exception reporting which allows us to dig deeper here.
I hope this information is helpful for you.
Feel free to ask in case you have any other question.
OpenAccess ORM is now Telerik Data Access

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — This year’s roster of finalists for the Gillom and Howell trophies, given to the state of Mississippi’s top college basketball players, has a familiar feel.
All three finalists for the inaugural Gillom Trophy last year — winner Alexis Rack of Mississippi State, Southern Miss’ Pauline Love and Bianca Thomas of Ole Miss — are back.
And the 2009 winner for the Howell Trophy, Mississippi State’s Jarvis Varnado, is a finalist again. He is joined by Ole Miss’ Chris Warren and Jackson State’s Garrison Johnson, the Southwestern Athletic Conference player of the year.
The awards will be given out March 29 in a ceremony at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.
The trophies are sponsored by Cellular South.

Be the first to like this
For many years the QEMU codebase has contained PV backends for Xen guests, giving them paravirtual access to storage, network, keyboard, mouse, etc. however these backends have not been configurable as QEMU devices as their implementation did not fully adhere to the QEMU Object Model (QOM).
Particularly the PV storage backend not using proper QOM devices, or qdevs, meant that the QEMU block layer needed to maintain legacy code that was cluttering up the source. This was causing push-back from the maintainers who did not want to accept any patches relating to that Xen backend until it was 'qdevified'.
In this talk, I'll explain the modifications I made to QEMU to achieve 'qdevification' of the PV storage backend, how compatibility with the libxl toolstack was maintained, and what the next steps in both QEMU and libxl development should be.

Metro General Manager Richard Sarles announced today that Metrorail will add 10 cars to its rush-hour service in time for the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival, and he said they won’t go away after the blossoms have faded.
The 10 extra cars will be used on the Orange and Red lines starting Monday, he said. Five six-car trains will be converted to eight-car trains. This will add 640 seats for rush-hour riders on the lines that carry the most passengers. The transit has not special-ordered new rail cars to do this. Sarles said that extra cars are a product of a service improvement program focused on getting equipment into and out of the rail yards faster.
The annual festival, scheduled this year from March 27 through April 6, always stresses Metro’s equipment, as well as its riders, who for two weeks include a surge of tourists from around the world. Many of the busiest days in the rail system’s 35 years have occurred during recent festivals.
While Metro would love it if the tourists confined their travels to off-peak hours, they also jam their way aboard the already packed trains during the morning and afternoon rush. The regulars know the tourists: They’re the ones who’s eyes get really big when they realize the train doors aren’t going to bounce open just because they have their hands stuck between them.
Metrorail cars — as well as their riders — are under extreme stress during the festivals. Doors break down, operators unload the cars and take them out of service, and an even greater crowd builds up on the platforms waiting to see if anyone can squeeze aboard the next train.
The extra cars will help, but the trains will still be unusually crowded. The transit authority will suspend its weekend maintenance program during the festival, so riders won’t face any scheduled slowdowns caused by trains sharing tracks around work zones. Escalator and elevator repairs will continue.
Riders may catch a break as the temperatures rise on these crowded cars: Sarles also announced that Metro has been working on a more aggressive program to repair and maintain the train air conditioners, a source of many complaints during the very hot summer of 2010.
The goal of the campaign, called “Operation Cool Breeze” and begun in February, is to inspect and overhaul the more than 1,000 cars in the rail fleet.
That includes cleaning the condensers under the cars and the pipes, pans and filters over the riders’ heads, said Damon Cannon, Metro’s general superintendent of rail car maintenance, who led reporters on a tour of cars under repair at the New Carrollton yard. The intensified campaign of preventive maintenance and repair on the air conditioners will continue through the summer, he said.
When the temperatures reach the 68 to 72 degree range, Cannon said, riders should start to feel the effects of “Cool Breeze” inside the cars.

THANK YOU! :)
Wow! I can't believe that they actually made a commercial like that! It's horrible enough when people are close minded about ideas and use questionable means to preach those ideas, but when they bring books into it... that just pushes past the limit for me. Books are meant to make us think; whether we agree with them or not, banning books, or using books for a political advantage is very upseting. Thanks so much for the enlightening post.
Any time, LW!Wandering Reader, I'm glad we brought this to your attention - the more people who are aware, the better.

Now I’m trying to transition her to her crib which she hysterically cries in every time and try to climb out! She won’t sleep unless her whole body is against me so giving her my hand and patting her didn’t work.
I moved my bed there to try to assure her that I’ll be in the room but she still won’t sleep until she’s next to me. And as soon as she sleeps I put her in her crib.
My question is, how am I going to let her fall sleep in her crib or even sleep herself in it later on without me in the room!
Just thinking about it seems like an impossible task!
I’d love to hear your experiences and help please!

Coconut Sweet Potato Mash
I made a side of Paleo sweet potato mash with my grilled shrimps last week, and I wanted to share that recipe with you. I’ve been making this Paleo sweet potato mash for a while now, and it is simply delicious (and very simple to make, of course!).
Start with some sweet potatoes (or yams will work too).
If you have time, bake them in the oven on 350F for around an hour to soften them. Make sure they are super soft by poking a fork into it – the fork should go into the sweet potato very easily. If you’re short on time, then boiling them works too. Boil for around 30 minutes (or until they are very tender – again, you can do the fork test).
When they’re done, let them cool a bit before peeling the skin off them (otherwise you’ll burn your fingers).
Once peeled, place into a food processor.
Add some coconut milk to the sweet potatoes. I added 1 cup to 4 sweet potatoes. For best results, add a knob of ginger (around 1 teaspoon). I think the ginger is what makes this sweet potato mash really spectacular – it’s like a Thai sweet potato mash!
I use canned coconut milk for most recipes requiring coconut milk – make sure you get the ones with no added sugar and also NOT the “light” ones. The photo below shows the one I got from WholeFoods for $1.99/can. You can buy the Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk here (it has the same ingredients and pretty much the same nutritional values and is BPA free). Note that if you leave the cans sitting somewhere, it will separate! A coconut cream will form on top and the water on the bottom. So, shake the cans really well or open it and stir it for a bit before using. If you prefer a thicker sweet potato mash, then don’t shake the cans and instead use the thick cream that forms on top.
If you have concerns about using coconut milk because of the guar gum in the canned ones, then you can make your own by following the instructions at the bottom of this article by Chris Kresser.
Food process everything really well on a high setting until the sweet potato mash is smooth. You can serve it with anything or enjoy it by itself!
- Bake the sweet potatoes at 350F (usually for over an hour) or boil the sweet potatoes (usually for around 30 minutes). Make sure they are very tender – you should be able to poke a fork into them with ease.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool for a bit and then peel them.
- Place the peeled sweet potatoes into a food processor with the coconut milk and ginger, and food process on high until smooth.

The New York Post, last week:
Paramount: We're Not Hiding 'G.I. Joe'
Paramount is denying a report it's going to forego press screenings for "G.I. Joe'' before its opening next Friday -- invariably a sign that a movie is terrible.
"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isn't screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand.
Well, my work week just got a little less unappetizing.
Vulture (of course) has more on the most pre-maligned movie of the summer.

Sajid Mir, the mastermind of the Mumbai attacks, was convicted just a week before the FATF meeting
The move came in response to stress from many Western countries seeking proof of Islamabad’s earlier claim that Mir had died some time ago.
New Delhi: Pakistani authorities advised Western interlocutors regarding Mir’s detention and punishments shortly before the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) plenary session was held in Berlin on June 14-17. The move came in response to stress from many Western countries seeking proof of Islamabad’s earlier claim that Mir had died some time ago. Mir, 44, was convicted to 15-and-a-half years in prison by an anti-terrorism court in Lahore in the first week of June after being found guilty in a terror financing case. Mir was also fined Pakistani 420,000 and is currently serving his time at the Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore, according to the daily. “It all ocurred so quietly that no one knew about such an essential court verdict in such a high-profile case, except for a brief report in one of the newspapers, which also failed to attract interest.” His detainment, which appears to have occurred in late April, was also kept hidden from prying eyes in the media, according to the Dawn.

4. Raise your voice on social media
You may wonder that as per many observers, good amount of credit for Congress’s win in recently held MP, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh elections goes to its party-men. As per directives from Congress’s IT Cell and strategists, most of the congressman suddenly became hyperactive on social media around 1 or 1.5 years back and started doing these things:
theirall of the contacts on every small and big Hindu festival.
- Began to Share the nationalist content.
- Wishing most of their social media contacts on their birthday, anniversaries and other big occasions and made them feel as their well-wisher.
- Shared posts/content in low frequency which were harsh on RSS/VHP/Bajrang Dal, and by doing this they started making people against these core Hindu organizations.
- People used to see their Hindu contacts above party lines but at the same time they all consider RSS and other organizations as their own non-political bodies, but this slow campaign by Hindu Congressmen created a very small fraction of Hindus started talking against these outfits in a never-seen-before manner.
- Congressmen created a Caste-based divide and made their same-caste contacts to stand against BJP on many issues. This also harmed BJP substantially in these elections.
This is the power of social media that a party, which people began to hate now becomes the ruler in these 3-states, despite much great work done by Modi and BJP ruled states. This all was made possible by its workforce which strategically turned the tides through their mobile phones.
If Congress workers can convince people to vote for a party, which is being considered by a large section of society as a corrupt & anti-national party, then you too can sell the idea of Modi Sarkar much effectively to common Indian masses.
It’s high time now and if you support Modi, you need to be much more active on social media. 3-4 month time left in probable Apr-May 2019 Election is very less in making people aware of good things done by present government in order to convince them to raise the hand in favor of Modi.

Each cow has their own unique personality traits. Some like to be milked first, others last. They have a favorite stall to lie in and some will come up to people to get their head scratched, while others keep their distance.
Some farmers may judge their affection for a cow based on their nature or personality, their conformation, or how much milk they produce. Holsteins are black and white and typically produce a higher volume of milk, while the second most popular breed, Jerseys, are smaller and produce less milk, but it’s higher in fat. On a dairy farm, farmers work with their cows very closely every day so the nature of the cows is very important to them.
So the answer: inconclusive. They are all so different that it’s hard to identify the most loved cow!

Yes! The only change that is needed is to mount the top ring a few inches to the left or right of where the top ring would normally be installed. This allows the blade to be held vertically and the hilt will curve and sit in the lower cup.

Mississippi River - Update #3
We have received some impacts to dock facilities due to the high Mississippi River levels. However, we continue coordinating efforts to limit the effects this may have on supplying our customers and are moving products by rail and truck as our logistics assets and the railroad’s schedules allow.
Plant personnel are implementing designated weather response plans. We will continue to monitor the situation and Corps of Engineers’ forecasts. Our focus remains on safely operating the plants and docks, and reducing the potential impact to our customers.
Due to competitive reasons, it is our policy not to provide details on the operational status of individual units or information on supply.

962 F.2d 14
Jose Albert RIVERA-SANCHEZ, Petitioner-Appellant,
Roger W. CRIST, Warden, Arizona Attorney General,
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted March 11, 1992.*
Decided April 23, 1992.
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
Before REINHARDT, NOONAN and DAVID R. THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.
The petitioner, Jose Alberto Rivera-Sanchez, was convicted of four counts of aggravated assault and one count of attempted murder in Arizona Superior Court on March 2, 1987. He appealed his conviction to the Arizona Court of Appeals, which affirmed, but never sought direct review in the Arizona Supreme Court. A subsequent petition for collateral relief filed in that court was denied.
The petitioner then turned to the federal courts for relief, filing a pro se habeas petition in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on October 30, 1989. The District Court determined that the petitioner's claims were in procedural default because "Petitioner never raised the issues before the Arizona Supreme Court on direct appeal, and, is now foreclosed from doing so," and ordered the petitioner to file a traverse demonstrating cause and prejudice. Rivera-Sanchez failed to file one, and the district court dismissed his petition. This timely appeal followed.
We most recently addressed the case of an Arizona prisoner who failed to seek direct review in the state supreme court in Harmon v. Ryan, No. 91-15139, slip. op. 3325 (9th Cir. Mar. 26, 1992). In Harmon, we noted that the Arizona Supreme Court, in the case of Arizona v. Shattuck, 684 P.2d 154 (Ariz.1984), had instructed Arizona prisoners not to seek direct review in that court, stating that their claims would be exhausted without obtaining such review. See Harmon, slip. op. at 3327. Under federal law, however, these instructions were erroneous, see id. at 3328. As a result, the Arizona Supreme Court had unwittingly drawn Arizona prisoners into procedural default. In Harmon, we held that "after Shattuck, the state procedures for seeking discretionary review were in practice sufficiently ill-defined that noncompliance with them is excused." Harmon, slip. op. at 3334. Accordingly, we allowed an Arizona habeas petitioner who had procedurally defaulted his claims by failing to seek direct review in the Arizona Supreme Court to proceed in federal court without demonstrating cause and prejudice. See id.
There is no indication in the record regarding whether Rivera-Sanchez's failure to seek direct review was a result of his reliance on the state supreme court's decision in Shattuck. We do not believe that this matters, however. Our holding in Harmon was based on the federal requirement that state's provide "some clearly defined method by which a criminal defendant may reasonably seek state court review of his claims." Slip. op. at 3331 (citing Young v. Ragen, 337 U.S. 235, 239 (1949)). Because "[a]fter Shattuck, an Arizona defendant was reasonably certain to believe--quite justifiably-- ... that, for all intents and purposes, the Arizona Court of Appeals was the state's highest court," slip. op. at 3334, we found that Arizona had failed to provide a clearly defined method of exhausting direct review. When a state procedural requirement is insufficiently clear under federal law, Arizona prisoners are excused from compliance. See slip. op. at 3332 ("[F]ailure to follow state procedures will warrant withdrawal of a federal remedy only if those procedures provided the habeas petitioner with a fair opportunity to seek relief in state court."). Thus, our holding in Harmon was based upon the lack of clarity of Arizona procedural requirements, not the state of mind of the individual Arizona prisoner. The latter inquiry is simply irrelevant.
From the above, it is clear that the district court erred in dismissing Rivera-Sanchez's claims on the ground that he had failed to seek direct review in the Arizona Supreme Court. We therefore reverse the district court's order of dismissal on the basis of procedural default and remand for further proceedings in conformity with this disposition.
Rivera-Sanchez claims that the district court also erred in failing to provide him with the assistance of counsel during his habeas proceedings. In light of our reversal of the district court's dismissal, we need not reach this claim. On remand, however, the district court should consider whether counsel should be appointed under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B) (1988). A financially eligible "habeas petitioner may obtain representation whenever a magistrate or the district court 'determines that the interests of justice so require.' " Terrovona v. Kincheloe, 912 F.2d 1176, 1181 (9th Cir.1990) (quoting section 3006A(a)(2)(B) (1988)), cert. denied, 111 S.Ct. 1631 (1991). "In deciding whether to appoint counsel in a habeas proceeding, the district court must evaluate the likelihood of success on the merits as well as the ability of the petitioner to articulate his claims pro se in light of the complexity of the legal issues involved." Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir.1983).
REVERSED AND REMANDED.

Rick Gore is not a trainer. He rides two horses in a rope halter, but doesn’t train them to do anything. He comes off as rude and sexist, because that’s what he is. If you want to see an actual rider training bitless, check out advantage horsemanship scott Purdum on YouTube. Look for the Ottb series.
Also, shoes are not evil. They were created for a reason…soundness. Not all horses can go barefoot. It depend on genetics, discipline and conditions. Veterinarians also may recommend shoes, not just farriers. I hate when people say barefoot is natural. we destroyed “natural ” when we took the horse from the wild and decided to ride them.October 21, 2014 at 6:38 pmnaturalpastureTopics Started: 2Replies Posted: 61
I came across this list of barefoot horses the other day. https://www.thehorseshoof.com/barefootperf.html
It really surprised me and thought you might like to see it.October 22, 2014 at 7:55 ampheetsTopics Started: 5Replies Posted: 477
All my horses are currently barefoot but I retain a farrier, not a trimmer (there aren’t many good ones in this area yet as the concept/skill is generally still fairly new to them). All my horses are sound enough, even the 30 yo arthritic ones. Love my farrier, your ROCK, Mr. O, thank you!! I would use shoes if needed. Yes, needed. I will not deny my horses safety and comfort for the sake of a trend (so far, a GOOD one but that’s just what it is around here) nor will I sit home with my horse standing around in the yard on a beautiful fall day when there’s an opportunity to ride with friends or even compete at a favourite venue simply because I am not suitably geared. I readily accept shod or unshod. It is the QUALITY of service and SUITABILITY of each that dictates my choice.
Most horses in captivity can survive barefoot, depending on their purpose and more on their care but if one wants a totally ‘natural’ horse, leave him be in what’s left of the wilds of the west, take a picture, go home and appreciate what The Horse is OUT THERE.
Nature writes her own rules: one author, one set, in granite, goes for all, no exceptions. Life adjusts and goes on pretty well, not always pretty but that’s Life in its infinite process. In the human world of captivity and utility, the rules change dramatically. Over a billion authors, penciled in for later review, and inconsistent, one set for every person, every situation. Depending on who you are, of course. And if you were here, or there, wore this, or that and it was Tuesday or Friday….ad nauseum.
IF we insist on keeping Nature’s children as our own, inevitably taking them away from secure management of self and home and interfering with their given abilities to comply and co-habitate with Nature’s rules, it IS up to us to do right and adjust, meeting half way and accommodating to the best of our ability (a certain amount of compromise goes a long way). This neutralizes keeping the horse wild (“natural”) at home to a good degree. Doesn’t work all that well yet, not enough humans understand well enough. In the wild, a horse does not typically cover 10 different types of terrain in less than 100 feet and at speed. He does not run, jump, run again, then stand in wait for supper 23/7, in one place. He is not forced to graze in his own waste, stand near a possibly abhoured partner, not fed non-indigenous foods, not drug-addled or diabetic, can sleep up or down, whenever, and wander freely with chosen friends/defense/procreation team. He is also lucky to live ten years, and will mercifully suffer a reasonably quick death (injured at 10 am, lunch by noon, might even skip the injured part) There are no fences, no boundaries, no limits. In my yard, there are fences, boundaries and limits, necessary for the safety and sustained health (please, GOD?) of my horses in MY world, which is NOT theirs… I speak only for myself, of course.
Wild writes a totally different set of rules than captive. Can’t be wild in the paddock, no room, too scary, can’t use the tools for survival that are innate to this day, captive or not. Can’t have a captive mindset on the prairie and wait for hay delivery with grain and sugar cubes, it ain’t coming and Horse can’t find the gate (any gate) to wait at anyway.
Compromise. Necessary. It works : )
Sure there's right and wrong but mostly there's just a whole lotta different.October 27, 2014 at 11:54 am1978SpurTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 3
I evented for years barefoot in all weather conditions with no footing issues. I do have to say my horse is very balanced & surefooted. My horse has very good strong hoofs and didn’t need shoes until we started preparing to move up to prelim. At that time he needed front shoes due to chipping & wear. I didn’t need to add hinds until preparing for our first 1 star(long format) again due to chipping & wear from the increased conditioning work. I always pulled the hind shoes once competition season was over but left the fronts on until he was turned out for the winter. I didn’t put fronts back on until he was legged up and was back in training in the spring. The hinds went back on a month before our first competition.
He wore full rim shoes front & back with stud holes in back. I never used studs in front due to his front leg conformation. I had more problems slipping with shoes than without especially on hard ground. He is now retired to trail riding and still sound at 24 without shoes.
I have 2 other horses that I currently compete, 1 is barefoot as he also has very good feet. The other has front shoes as he tends to get foot sore. He seems to need them year round. I tried pulling them for the winter but had soreness issues. My blacksmith says he has good hoofs but sensitive soles. I’ve tried several hoof supplements with no change.
My feeling is you do what ever is needed to keep your horse comfortable, happy and sound. Some need shoes some do not.October 29, 2014 at 2:29 pm
Interesting stories on the same theme, which the previous poster summarized in her final paragraph. I’ve owned an Appendix TB, a QH, several grade horses, and ASBs. Most of my early horses (way back when in the previous century) were shod. When I bought my first ASB trail horse, he did not need shoes, and since I thought barefoot was a great idea, I didn’t shoe him. My second ASB trail horse had a quarter crack when I bought her, so she was shod in front until it grew out. She went barefoot, over hard (solid granite) terrain until she died at age 25. But my third ASB trail horse was another story. He was 16 when I got him, and being an ASB, he was most likely shod as a 2-year-old and had worn shoes all his life. I tried letting him go barefoot after his feet were trimmed, but his feet immediately started to chip. It’s the only time he didn’t want to go “foreward,” and he was a very forward horse. His feet obviously hurt, and I wasn’t willing to wait it out since he already had EPM. Why make life even harder for him. My vet agreed, so I shod him in front. The EPM got him in the end, and I had to put him down a couple of months ago. My QH rescue had wonderful feet–as long as I rode him. I sold him to my shoer, who reported that his girlfriend, now his wife, rode him four times a week. His wore his front feet down so badly that my farrier had to shoe him–and they are both barefoot people!
Never say never–there are always exceptions. As other people have said, horses haven’t been “natural” since humans stopped eating them and started riding them.October 29, 2014 at 4:02 pm
Hmm–my ability to “edit” apparently ran out of time. I wanted to add that I would have tried again to have Scout, my 16-yr-old ASB trail horse, go barefoot. Both he and Prim had one club foot in front–meaning the heel area of one front foot grew faster than the toe. Because Prim went barefoot, she wore her hooves down almost normally. But Scout couldn’t, and I had to have him trimmed every six weeks because he grew so much heel.November 2, 2014 at 8:23 amRackingHorses<3Topics Started: 1Replies Posted: 2
Horses do not need shoes! Barefoot is a very natural way. When you pull the shoes she’s probably going to be really tender or not at all depends on the horse. So if she’s tender buy some boots I dunno if you can use them competing though but for the mountain trails I get some boots I recommend the easy boot glove there really easy to take on and off. As for the dry and cracked hooves is she on hoof supplements? If not I’d try farriers formula I’ve found it works the best but I’ve never tried smartpaks hoof supplements.
Hope it helps all 3 of my Tennesse Walking Horses are barefoot(:November 2, 2014 at 3:59 pm
Agreed–barefoot is more natural. But you can’t say categorically that all horses can go barefoot, because that’s simply not true. Some horses, because of breed or conditioning or early training simply cannot, and it’s cruel to insist that they must. At least buy those tender-footed horses boots until their feet toughen up–if they ever do.July 27, 2015 at 8:16 amohminsunTopics Started: 1Replies Posted: 7
This is a good thread; Im watching it! I have an OTTB who’s doing well barefoot (I’ve only had her for about 30 days worth of rides, though), and she will eventually become an eventer…I’d love to see her event barefoot, or even just with front shoes!

Both My horses are barefoot. We ride tarred roads, rocky NH trails and can go for miles. Never have to worry about a pulled shoe. They have super tuff feet. They have never come up lame. The important thing is a trimmer that knows how to do a proper bare hoof trim. A farrier will most likely trim the way they know best. This means they will often take off important toe callus. For transistion you may need boots to ride for a while. I still use boa boots on one of my two boarders that is still new to bare foot. The other boarder is now perfectly sound on the trails without shoes. The trick to the boas is proper fit of course, you can ajust with the gaiters and pads. But most important is I use a triangle of thick neoprin under the dial. It is something sold as a weastern breast plate cover triangle with 4 inch sides and two layers of neoprin. I found it makes all the difference. Keeps pressure off of the upper corinary band on the hoof and allows you to tighten it up good without the chance of overtightening. I prefer these boots because they fit snug and wont twist and clop. I recomend reading Pete Ramey Making-Natural-Hoof-Care-Work-For-You. Good luck. I hope you decide to stick with the barehoof it’s less expensive than shoes and I strongly believe it is the best thing I did for my former horse a cronic founder, cushings horse. He was more comfortable barefoot with a good trimmer than he ever was with pads and metal shoes. I think 99% of horses with a propper trim will go sound. When someone says “my horse cant ever go barefoot” I always want to give them Pete Ramey’s book. Both of my boarders said the same thing and they are now saying they wished I could have convined them sooner.July 27, 2015 at 9:56 amsj_sophiaTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 2
I have a holsteiner mare that I recently switched to barefoot. Although i don’t compete in eventing she used to with the front two hooves shod, her front hooves were shod her whole life and it certainly did not make her feet any weaker. Her hooves are very strong and when barefoot trimmed every 4-5 weeks. What I would suggest for you is to find a barefoot farrier and get his/her opinion on wether your horse could go barefoot. The other thing would be that since your horse has brittle hooves I would put her on a hoof supplement to make trims last the max amount of time. Also, what level are you competing at? I think a horse could easily compete up to novice without shoes, but once getting into training id definitely want the shoes for the extra grip. You could also try pulling her shoes this winter (when you don’t have as many competitions) to see how she responds and to build up the strength in her hooves before show season hits next year. Hope I have you some useful advice! Good luck eventing with your gorgeous mare!August 28, 2015 at 10:47 amjpjen42Topics Started: 1Replies Posted: 1
Hi there! I think it is excellent you want to compete with your horse more organically! You can do this barefoot. While I no longer event with my horse, when we did, it was barefoot. We now do 10 – 25 mi endurance rides barefoot on all kinds of terrain. It is a combination of diet, the environment your horse lives in ( are they stalled on a mat? Do they have varied terrain with rocks, etc in a pasture? ) and the type of trim you give you horse if necessary.
There is a really good blog out there : http://rockleyfarm.blogspot.com/ which goes into rehabbing horses that had some pretty extreme issues even in shoes to go barefoot. Many of them are competing at higher level events in GB. Give them a shot. She has all kinds of case studies, and literature on the site to read.
I hope you both find success together both in a ring and on the trails.August 28, 2015 at 12:50 pmlaura_gilleyTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 2
I have been barefoot now for 5 years. Two of the best things you can do to make this a successful transition are to 1, buy a rasp, and 2 have your farrier teach you how to maintain your hoof in between trims. It is imperative that you know how to round your hoof walls (mustang roll).I assume you are going to have your horse trimmed every 6ish weeks. That’s not going to be enough. Plan on rounding out your hoof walls every two weeks, or more depending on growth of the hoof wall. As soon as you start to see chipping you need to round your walls! If you wait for the farrier to come your chipping may have gone out of control and lead to cracks (not good). Don’t worry rounding off your walls will be quick, it’s not hard at all! I use a Heller Red Tang rasp and it is great for year around usage. Keep in mind a full transition from shoes to barefoot could take a year, so don’t give up if after 6 months your feet aren’t ideal, they will get there. After you do go full barefoot you should be able to do some light riding for the first few weeks, but keep in mind the hoof is going to change fast! After that you can increase activity, but use your best judgment. Most people I know try barefoot, but then quit. They quit because they don’t LEARN how to round out the hoof, thus their feet go bad fast.DO NOT go barefoot unless you are willing to take part in hoof maintenance, unless of course you can afford a farrier every two weeks to do minimal work. Also just so you don’t have any false expectations,there will be set backs, just don’t give up. You cant undo a lifetimes worth of damage and not have set backs. GOOD LUCK, you are going to be very happy about your decision in a year!August 28, 2015 at 12:54 pmpfladyTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 25
I totally disagree with the statement that “All horses can go barefoot.” I know that hooves can expand and contract when the horse moves barefoot and that is good for hoof health. HOWEVER, when I tried it with my gelding for the first 5 years of his life (because it was “healthier” for his feet), he was lame about every other month – either hoof bruises or soft tissue injuries (which I now attribute to abnormal movement to avoid hoof pain). I finally gave up and had him shod. That was 12 years ago, and he hasn’t been lame since. My mare (12 years old) also had sore feet, and I didn’t wait so long to shoe her. She’s only had one episode of lameness since, due to an abscess. So – some horses CAN go barefoot, and it is in general better for their feet. Will it help your horse’s feet – maybe or maybe not. Thoroughbreds are famous for their lousy, crumbly, shelly feet. Another source of bad feet is moisture – either constant or wet-dry cycles. We moved to Texas a year ago and the dry climate has really hardened their hooves big time! So your climate will also influence hoof health.August 28, 2015 at 12:55 pmlaura_gilleyTopics Started: 0Replies Posted: 2
Oh yeah just one more thing….best time to pull shoes and go barefoot is in the spring/summer. This is when the hoof grows the fastest, Thus if you do have a small set back such as a crack, no biggie. The hoof will grow it out with in a month. If you try to do this in the winter and have a set back….good luck, it is not going to grow out fast at all, plan on about 3ish months for a crack.

Fix your No Show Problem for Good!
Designed for Google Calendar!
Why does GReminders work well for Day Spa’s?
According to a Mobile Marketing Watch, SMS messages have a 98% open rate vs. e-mail that only has a 22% open rate. Use the most efficient way of communicating an appointment with your client, and send them an SMS reminder.
To maximize your appointment time and capacity, you want to make it really simple for your clients to engage with you. The best practice is to remind your clients that an appointment has been scheduled, send them a couple of reminders prior to their appointment time, and then send a follow up to be sure to schedule their next appointment.
Texting is the simplest asynchronous way to communicate with your clients. Texting has extremely high engagement and response rates.
GReminders handles scheduling, appointment reminders and follow ups with ease. Leverage your existing Calendar and let the background service do all the work.
Our most common plan costs $10/month. A SINGLE appointment saved will typically pay for 1 year of the GReminder service! Stop wasting your precious time, and eliminate no shows or cancellations.
You connect your existing Google Calendar to GReminders, set a template, and text reminders will automatically be sent.
You can even set up appointment scheduling, which allows your clients to book their lessons automatically on your calendar.
Or send follow up notifications to remind them to book their next appointment OR ask them to post a review on Yelp, Facebook or similar.
Here is real feed from Day Spa owners and Aestheticians that use GReminders:
A missed appointment really messes up the flow of my day and is lost revenue for me. GReminders is worth it!– Hailey Mackey, Massage Therapist
There is nothing worse than a no show. Lost revenue and lost time that could be spent on one of my other clients. GReminders has lowered my no shows significantly!– Annabelle P.
GReminders has been a life saver for our business. Our spa was plagued with no shows. Since signing up for a plan 8 months ago, our missed appointments have gone way down. Thanks GReminders!– Rowan Flannagan

FROM HIS PAPER “ASTROPSYCHOLOGIST” 1967
published in: STOP LYING | booklet edited by The Middle of Silence Gallery | New York 1982
Self-taught master of self-attainment and honesty: destroyer of wishful thinking and delusions in self and others: Can recall and express trains of thought however difficult from inception to end and ACTS UPON HIS CONVICTIONS with total fidelity: Knows that each experience holds at least one truth: our perceptions and our feelings: and that we must stand by them until, through checking out or correction, they prove to be inadequate:
Has whatever patience and whatever energy is needed in carrying out the obligations that his knowledge entails: rather be truthful than inoffensive: rather be truthful than liked: Listens to the manner and not merely the content of peoples' expressions and responds in terms of their true intentions and not merely those expressed: Can admit to hoodwinking self and thus encourages others to do the same: Can ask for help and insists that others do the same. Employs the imagination to increase sexual pleasure and facilitate other bodily functions and can describe the details to others:
Helps reduce guilt that prevents acceptance of self and helps people admit to feeling guilt-stricken about how they silence their truth-seeking, justice-loving consciences: Handles provocations by remaining objective and admitting to, but not becoming subject to, the emotional tyrannies of striking back or saving face:
Is sensitive to and exposes sins of omission (as they may reflect concealed hostility, secret machinations, humiliated conscience, self-shame and fear of banishment) as well as sins of commission: sarcasm disguised as rational rebut, hypocritical concern, and pious blaming, etc. Encourages people to express their curiosity and to react openly to the curiosity of others: Helps people enjoy and see things on as many levels as possible:
the possibility of doing so being the common ground of the human species: Denies the sanctity of love which is selfish and excludes others, (poor arithmetic) and a love which is sufficient unto itself (denies themselves to others): Knows that the human condition has base and sublime elements and encourages others to the sublimity of having the courage to admit what is base in the self: Can accept the feeling of being the only honest or truthful person on the face of the earth without wavering in his beliefs and therefore can help others accept that ultimate sacrifice necessary to pave the way for the relinquishing of self-serving, self-aggrandizing goals in favor of the openly shared goals of a Utopian community.

Welcome to Week 3 in the Premier League. This week features two top tier matches with Chelsea traveling to see their former forward Romelu Lukaku and Everton at Goodison Park. Liverpool will be traveling in the opposite direction and facing off with fast-starters Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their thrashing at the Etihad while Spurs will be looking for some validation to their two wins against modest competition. The week kicks off with a team tipped for relegation...traveling to Burnley (I kid, I kid) - will the signing of Angel di Maria and the trouncing at MK Dons in mid-week wake Manchester United up to the fact that the season may be slipping away?
Before all of that happens, here is the latest from around the grounds on who is fit, who is suspended and who isn't going to make it for Week 3.
Burnley – vs – Manchester United
Burnley manager Sean Dyche will look to restore a number of players who were rested for the League Cup defeat by Sheffield Wednesday. Sam Vokes (ACL) remains the only long-term absentee with Dean Marney and Dean Jones both expected to recover from minor knocks.
The Clarets welcome Manchester United to Turf Moor on Saturday and Louis van Gaal will be hoping to erase the memory of his sides embarrassing midweek cup exit at the hands of MK Dons. Despite a number of changes his team included a wealth of experience with Jonny Evans back from injury while Kagawa started his first game of the season only to be replaced during the first half due to concussion. Chris Smalling (groin), Marouane Fellaini & Ander Herrera (both ankle) will miss out along with Carrick, Lingard and Rafael. Marcos Rojo is yet to receive international clearance and will not be eligible; Angel Di Maria looks set to make his debut "I think he is ready to play," after a move costing in excess of $100 million although it could take the Argentine a while to settle “He's a class player but we cannot expect he is the miracle after two days training. He can accelerate our play and he fits in our philosophy. Di Maria can excite fans, but maybe not in his first matches; he has to adapt to the team & the team to him."
Manchester City – vs – Stoke
Alvaro Negredo (metatarsal) is the only player currently being treated by the City medical team although Frank Lampard and Eliaquim Mangala – lacking match fitness - are not ready. Micah Richards, John Guidetti and Sinclair are no longer part of Pellegrini’s plans. Sergio Aguero is “absolutely 100%” following an enthusiastic Kolarov tackle in training on Thursday and Edin Dzeko recovers from a minor knock.
Mark Hughes confirms Victor Moses is in line for his first start after the Chelsea player impressed during the Capital One Cup although the Nigerian isn’t 100% fit. Geoff Cameron (groin) and Stephen Ireland (rib) will miss out but Bojan Krkic has recovered from injury. Phil Bardsley (knee) will be assessed in training on Friday while Glenn Whelan (ankle) is also a slight doubt.
Newcastle – vs – Crystal Palace
Newcastle entertain Crystal Palace at St James’ Park on Saturday with both sides hoping to secure their first win of the 2014/15 Premier League campaign. The Toon Army will be without the services of Ivorian Cheick Tiote (hamstring) although the midfielder has started running. Alan Pardew confirmed England’s newest recruit Jack Colback will be available along with Rolando Aarons – both players have recovered from minor knocks. Mike Williamson returns after his sending off last weekend while Papiss Demba Cisse is making good progress and may be back after the international break. Siem de Jong could start from the bench as he regains match-fitness following injury.
Palace midfielder Joe Ledley (groin) looks set to miss out after injuring himself during last week’s warm-up against West Ham United but Scott Dann (thigh) has returned to training and is in with a chance of being involved. New manager Neil Warnock could ring the changes as The Eagles look to overcome a disappointing start; loan signing Wilfried Zaha who returns to the club in a season long deal will feature.
QPR – vs – Sunderland
Charlie Austin returned to training on Friday after a hamstring problem ruled him out of the loss against Spurs; coach Harry Redknapp will make a late decision regarding his involvement. Chilean forward Eduardo Vargas is in Italy awaiting his work permit and the club “waiting to hear” whether his application will be processed in time. Devastating blow for Alejandro Faurlin who suffered his third serious ACL injury in as many seasons; initially the club were unconcerned after his withdrawal on Wednesday but sent the player for a precautionary scan - results revealed the full extent of the issue effectively ending his season.
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet could have the luxury of a fully fit squad for Saturday after Giaccherini (groin) returned ahead of schedule for the Capital One Cup match. Adam Johnson is also fit after recovering from a bout of illness.
Swansea City – vs – West Bromich Albion
New defender Federico Fernandez is in line to make his league debut after Tuesday’s appearance against Rotherham with Jordi Amat the man likely to make way. Knee injuries side line Marvin Emnes (meniscus) and Leon Britton with the latter suffering a stress fracture; Rory Donnelly (ankle) is out until November.
Alan Irvine will be without Sebastien Pocognoli after the full-back injured his thigh last weekend but Victor Anichebe has returned to training following a minor groin issue. Graham Dorrans and Craig Gardner will be back in the Baggies squad after they were rested midweek but Saturday will come too soon for Joleon Lescott. Christian Gamboa and Brown Ideye both featured in the penalty win over Oxford United and will be in contention but Georgios Samaras and Silvestre Varela (lacking match fitness) are both out.
West Ham United – vs – Southampton
The Hammers will be looking to build-up upon last weekend’s emphatic victory at Selhurst Park when the Saints come to town. Sam Allardyce has a number of injury concerns heading into the game with potentially six first team members side lined. Carl Jenkinson (hamstring) and Matt Jarvis (thigh) will just miss out with Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan both long-term. James Collins has failed to recover from a hamstring problem while new signing Diafra Sakho suffered a slight back strain during the Capital One Cup and will have a late fitness test. Mauro Zarate looks set to start following his impressive display a week ago; Enner Valencia is also pushing for a place as he gradually regains his match-fitness.
Southampton are missing Lloyd Isgrove who picked up a knee problem during the win over Millwall on Wednesday - Koeman confirmed the player “is not physically good.” Sam Gallagher is progressing and may return after the international break with Jay Rodriguez the only long-term absentee. Shane Long is set for his first league start as Pelle adapts to the physicality’s of the Premiership. Florin Gardos is still lacking fitness.
Everton – vs – Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku has responded well to treatment on a toe injury and could face his former employers, the Belgium striker is one of a number of concerns ahead of the Chelsea game. Steven Pienaar (groin) joins Ross Barkley, Arouna Kone and Bryan Oviedo in the treatment room but Roberto Martinez may include new signing Samuel Eto’o who is eager to be involved “It is difficult. I tried to have that conversation and realistically I would have liked him to have 10 or 11 sessions before we put him in a competitive environment. But I quite quickly learned that I was wasting my time; he wants to be helpful to the team straight away and he wants to be involved.”
The main news concerning Chelsea this week is whether striker Diego Costa will be available following a muscular problem in training on Wednesday. The striker is rated as very doubtful but Jose Mourinho will give the Spanish international every chance “We are trying everything for him to play tomorrow. He didn't train for the last two days. He is a big doubt, let's see,” although the striker will travel and came through Fridays final training session unscathed. The Chelsea coach confirms the remainder of his squad will be available for selection meaning Andre Schurrle has recovered from the leg injury he suffered against Leicester City last Saturday.
Aston Villa – vs – Hull City
Just the two minor concerns for Paul Lambert’s squad who will be looking to bounce back after their disappointing cup exit midweek. Central defender Ron Vlaar (knee) and Aly Cissokho (ankle) both picked up injuries during the ‘bore draw’ with Newcastle but returned to training on Thursday. Christian Benteke (Achilles) is progressing well with a return to full training expected in September while Libor Kozak (broken leg) is not far behind.
No fresh concerns for Steve Bruce with Robert Snodgrass the only confirmed injury. James Chester is suspended with new signing Michael Dawson expected to fill the void.
Tottenham Hotspur – vs – Liverpool
Pochettino will recall a number of senior players who were rested for Thursday's Europa League win against AEL Limassol. Roberto Soldado (neck & back) will have a late fitness test; new signing Federico Fazio is available.
For Liverpool Balotelli will be included in Sunday’s squad after impressing during his short spell on Merseyside"Mario is fine and has settled in very well. He has looked fantastic in training," although a place on the bench is realistic. The striker will be joined by midfielder Adam Lallana (knee) who has recovered from injury but is still “well short of match fitness." Brendan Rodgers will check on a number of other first team players - Alberto Moreno (ankle) has responded well to treatment; Glen Johnson (thigh) will probably miss out with Martin Skrtel and Jose Enrique facing a late fitness test although the latter "hasn't had a lot of minutes.” Jon Flanagan is targeting a return after the international break.
Leicester City – vs – Arsenal
Leicester are sweating on the availability of Esteban Cambiasso as the Argentine midfielder waits on international clearance; the former Inter Milan player is one of the most decorated players within the modern game and his addition could prove invaluable to the Foxes this season “Cambiasso is not a bums-on-seats signing. He is here to be a footballer and play football.” Nigel Pearson confirmed only Matty James and Matthew Upson are absent through injury meaning Danny Drinkwater, Jamie Vardy and Dean Hammond are all in contention.
Mikel Arteta has been assessed and although his ankle injury is not serious the Arsenal midfielder won’t return until after the international break; Kieran Gibbs (hamstring) is also close but just misses out. Olivier Giroud underwent surgery midweek to fix his fractured tibia which will keep him side lined until 2015. Wenger will choose from Lukas Podolski, Yaya Sanogo, Joel Campbell and / or Alexis Sanchez to lead the line although the latter is expected to get the nod after an impressive display in the Champions League. Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina returns to training but the manager has suggested that Sunday may come a little too soon. Theo Walcott will resume full training in mid-September.

The Bank of England’s monetary policy committee (MPC) has voted against re-booting its multi-billion pound stimulus programme this month, on a day in which central bankers are in the market’s gaze with incoming governor Mark Carney being quizzed by MPs.
Despite fears over a 'triple dip' after the UK economy contracted by 0.3% in the last three months of 2012, the MPC voted against an extension to its quantitative easing (QE) scheme, having spent the last of the £375 billion of asset purchases in November. The nine man panel, which meets monthly on Threadneedle Street, also held interest rates at their record low of 0.5%, as expected. The bank did however announce that it would re-invest £6.6 billion of gilts that would mature in March.
'The risks are weighted to the downside, not least because of the challenges facing the euro area,' according to a written statement from the committee.
Bank of England maintains Bank Rate at 0.5% and the size of the Asset Purchase Programme at £375 billion
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee today voted to maintain the official Bank Rate paid on commercial bank reserves at 0.5%. The Committee also voted to maintain the stock of asset purchases financed by the issuance of central bank reserves at £375 billion.
Over the past year, there has been considerable volatility in quarterly output growth. Looking through the influence of temporary factors, overall output appears to have been broadly flat. In large part that reflects sharp falls in particular sectors of the economy that are unlikely to be repeated in 2013. In contrast, the combined output of the manufacturing and services sectors has grown modestly. Business surveys suggest the pace of expansion is likely to remain muted in the near term. The weakness in overall output sits in sharp contrast to continued strong employment growth, suggesting that the financial crisis may have had some impact on the effective supply capacity of the economy.
ING economist James Knightley said there was little chance of a change to the Bank of England's stance in the short term as the global economy slowly improves: 'While the UK contracted in 4Q12, recent data flow has suggested that the UK will narrowly avoid a third official recession in the space of five years'.
Carney, who replaces Mervyn King as governor in July, was still being questioned when the Bank of England policy decision was announced at midday.
Carney's written statement to MPs to the Treasury Committee stated that the central bank ‘will need to design, implement and ultimately exit from unconventional monetary policy measures’.
Later comments from Carney though suggested that the current Bank of Canada governor would be more likely to take a 'dovish' stance at the Bank of England, keeping monetary policy loose.
The pound, which rose to a session high of $1.5725 during Carney's grilling, was up 0.25% to $1.5700 ten minutes after the Bank's policy announcement.
After the focus on Carney and UK monetary policy, attention later moves to Frankfurt, where the European Central Bank delivers its own policy decision, with no change expected.

Today is significant to me.
12 years ago, today, I started working full-time. I tested medical devices, mostly manually, working my way up a ladder to get “Senior” in my title. Towards the end, I dabbled in Agility as a part-time Scrum Master for my team.
6 years ago, today, I changed careers. I was a full-time Scrum Master for a couple of distributed teams, working my way through much learning and self-discovery to get “Agile Coach” as my title. Lately, I’ve dabbled in performance as a podcaster.
Today, I want to mark a new career episode.
In the spirit of vulnerability, I invite you to watch my version 1 of a concept I’m calling “Scrum in 7”. Oh, it’s definitely not smooth – I’ve only run it through once before to a wonderful recruiter who said she found it useful.
From here, though, I iterate. I’m putting it out there and seeing what I can learn – it’s my MVP – it’s my Minimum Viable Performance.
I’m curious as to how it would feel, and how effective it would be, if I broke it up into 1 video per stickie, then created a video that stitched ’em all together using fun bumpers.
I’m curious as to how much Scrum has made a connection with people such that they would be willing to share their story about Scrum’s significance to them in a set of 7, not necessarily 7 stickies, thus growing a hashtag.
I’m curious if this could be refined to start my portfolio of my take on Agile training, demonstrating my ability to deliver content, how I think about Agility, and my personality.
Following my gut, as I like to phrase it (related to Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Pursuit of Curiosity”), has served me very well lately: it’s helped me decide on employment opportunities I should jump on, employment opportunities I should promptly ignore, networking events I should this time go out of my way to do, work projects with timely effects, personal projects with timely fulfillment, and generally the next best steps.

Sonic Mania is the newest installment in the famous and iconic Sonic series of games, released for the celebration for Sonic’s 25th birthday. After a few rather disappointing Sonic releases, this game provides an amazing blast of nostalgia for the older Sonic players, and provides a new experience for new fans to the series. They did this by using the amazing talent that some Sonic fans have, since many have been creating games like the older games for years. This game released on August 15 of this year, and has sold very well. We are going to be going over what makes this game especially great. So grab your rings and get ready to go through Sonic Mania!
While recent Sonic games have been trying for more realistic graphics, Sonic has always been known for its 16-bit graphics from the Sega Genesis. Sega realized that the game is at its best when it’s in an older style, and brought Sonic Mania back to the graphics that most if its fans have grown up with. The game brings nostalgic 16-bit graphics with an updated graphics engine that really brings out the bright colors of the game. These graphics fill players with a sense of happiness that the older games had brought, making older players feel like they are kids again, and showing kids that older games are not as bad as they might think they are.
Sonic Mania contains arguably some of the best music in any recent videogame, with its retro style and improved sound quality, since older consoles couldn’t handle too many sounds at once. The product is a great assortment of music, ranging from bouncy and exciting for the stages, and spooky, but still very fun to listen to, for the multiple different bosses. The game mostly has remastered versions of music from the older games, while also being comprised of some new tracks made by Tee Lopes, a genius in the video game composing business, who created some amazing Sonic the Hedgehog remixes.
Recent games have tried many different ideas for Sonic gameplay, ranging from turning into a werewolf all the way to running through the Camelot, fighting King Arthur with a sword. Sonic Mania, on the other hand, brings back the classic Sonic gameplay that has made the game great; running and jumping through a stage that resembles a Rube-Goldberg machine. The game still consists of the same momentum-based platforming, but also bring small mini-games that come from multiple fan-made Sonic games. These add a new experience for Sonic players, requiring a different kind of playstyle. The game also brings a great reference to Puyo Puyo, a Japanese game that is very similar to Tetris, with small colored balls with big googly eyes on them. All of the stages in Sonic Mania contain a different interesting gameplay mechanic, to bouncy gel that propels Sonic high into the air, to a stage that takes place in the air, with Sonic standing on top of a plane fighting enemies. With all of these different mechanics, Sonic Mania feels like a different game every stage, making sure players don’t ever get bored, even though there’s a very low chance of that, since this game brings an intense feeling of speed and power as you make your way through the stages. Sonic Mania is a great new Sonic game that gives much needed nostalgia for its players. This game celebrates Sonic in a way that gives him his much-needed justice, especially after the disappointments from the Sega team. All Sonic fans are hoping for Sonic games much like Sonic Mania, bringing an experience that shows what makes Sonic great in a great way.

Yesterday The New York Times published a story with the headline “Election May Decide When Interrogation Amounts to Torture.” It compares and contrasts President Obama and Governor Romney on torture.
While there are a number of points in the article one could address—for example, the claim that techniques approved in the Army Field Manual are “nonabusive”—the bigger picture is this:
- U.S. torture was, and continues to be, about systemic institutional failures, including an over emphasis on domestic political values at the expense of international standards, and the failure to end impunity and lack of remedy for past abuses.
As Amnesty International warned nearly a year ago in the report “Guantanamo: A Decade of Damage to Human Rights:”
“Just as it was presidential orders that set the policy lead on detainee treatment in the years after 9/11, today also the policy has been set by presidential order. While interrogation policy now more closely approaches international law on detainee treatment, the question as to what happens when a President with a different approach takes office remains an open one. The door to US torture remains far from being firmly closed and bolted shut.
…History repeats itself when its lessons are ignored. President Obama’s missed deadline of 22 January 2010 for closure of the Guantánamo detention facility has passed into history. It has been replaced with no firm date or plan for closure and the prospect of a new US President embracing the Guantánamo detention facility as a permanent fixture now looms.
In similar vein, without the necessary investigations, prosecutions, reparations, transparency and legislation, President Obama’s executive order of 22 January 2009 prohibiting long-term secret detention and “enhanced interrogation techniques” may yet come to be seen as no more than a paper obstacle if and when any future US President decides that torture or enforced disappearance are once again expedient for national security.”
Tweet against torture. Tweet the moderator of the first Presidential Debate on October 3rd, Jim Lehrer, this request:

Sun Yang wins 2nd straight 200 meter freestyle
Racing in the fourth lane, Sun got off to a slow start, ranking seventh in the first 50 meters. Sun slowly made his way up to fifth by 100 meters, before finally taking the lead at the 150-meter point, clocking one minute and 18.33 seconds.
Sun finished his race at one minute and 44.93 seconds to successfully defend his title in the 200 meter freestyle and win the event for the second straight World Championships.
Although Sun initially finished second, the decision was quickly reversed, as Danas Rapsys of Lithuania, the initial winner, was disqualified right after the race.
It was Sun’s second gold in Gwangju after he won the men’s 400 meter freestyle on Sunday, and marks his 11th gold overall at the World Championships.
Katsuhiro Matsumoto of Japan won silver by finishing at one minute and 45.22 seconds followed by Martin Malyutin of Russia and Duncan Scott of Britain.
Meanwhile, Simona Quadarella of Italy won gold in the women’s 1,500 meter freestyle.
Quadarella took the lead at 150 meters at one minute and 30.84 seconds and continued to lead the pack in the remaining laps to finish at 15 minutes and 40.89 seconds, a good 7.94 seconds ahead of the silver medalist.
“This night was amazing,” Quadarella said. “It’s incredible. It seems unreal for me.”
Gold is a great improvement for Quadarella, who finished with a bronze during the 2017 World Championships in Budapest. It’s her first-ever gold at the World Championships.
Sarah Kohler of Germany won silver by finishing in 15 minutes and 48.83 seconds followed by Wang Jianjiahe of China with 15 minutes and 51.00 seconds.
This is Kohler’s second medal in Gwangju, as she also won gold in the mixed 5 kilometer open water team relay.
Defending champion Katie Ledecky, the world record holder and winner of the last three World Championships titles in the event, did not compete in the final.
In women’s 100 meter backstroke, Kylie Masse of Canada continued her dominance in the event.
Racing in the fourth lane, Masse had the quickest reaction time of 0.57 seconds, but that wasn’t enough for her to keep her lead up to the 50-meter point, as she was tied for fourth at 28.56 seconds. Yet in the last 50 meters of the race, Masse picked up her pace to finish 0.25 second ahead of the silver medalist, clocking 58.60 seconds.
With the win, Masse successfully defended her title in the event. During the 2017 World Championships in Budapest, Masse set a new Championship record of 58.10 seconds.
Minna Atherton of Australia won silver, clocking 58.85 seconds, followed by Olivia Smoliga of the United States winning a bronze by finishing the race in 58.91 seconds.
Following the women’s race, Xu Jiayu of China won the men’s 100 meter backstroke.
Xu reached the halfway point of the race, 50 meters, in third at 25.22 seconds. He then sped up in the second half to successfully defend his title, clocking a time of 52.43 seconds.
During the semifinals, Xu set a new championship record of 52.17 seconds.
Evgeny Rylov of Russia picked up silver by finishing his race in 52.67 seconds, followed by Mitchell Larkin of Australia who finished his race in 52.77 seconds.
Finishing day three of swimming in Gwangju, Lilly King of the United States picked up gold in the women’s 100 meter breaststroke.
King got off to a strong start by taking the lead at the halfway point, clocking 30.29 seconds. She maintained her lead in the remaining 50 meters to win gold, finishing in one minute and 04.93 seconds.
With the win, King successfully defended her title. She is also the world and championship record holder in the women’s 100 meter breaststroke, at one minute and 4.13 seconds. The record was set during the 2017 World Championships in Budapest.
Yuliya Efimova of Russia won silver by finishing her race in one minute and 5.49 seconds, followed by Martina Carraro of Italy, who won bronze by clocking in at one minute and 6.36 seconds.

Dama gazelles live in small herds of 5-10 individuals, occasionally forming larger groups during seasonal movements or when drawn to areas of fresh grazing. Gestation period around 6.5 months with one young born. Calving appears synchronised with improved grazing following rainy season (July-September). Feeds on a wide variety of browse, including Acacia, Maerua and Balanites. Grasses such as Panicum and Aristida also eaten, as well as legumes and wild melons. Water independent.
Sahelian and peri-Saharan grasslands and Acacia woodland. Remaining isolated populations pushed into rather marginal, atypical sub-desert and rocky refuges. Once commonplace on the fixed dune systems of the Sahel, often in association with scimitar-horned oryx and dorcas gazelle. Forays into sub-desert terrain during wet and cold seasons.
Formerly a broad band of sub-desert habitat stretching from the Nile Valley in the east to northern Senegal, Mauritania and southern Morocco in the west. Distribution north of the Sahara poorly known. Occupation of central Sahara made possible in and around mountainous areas with better vegetation. Currently restricted to small isolated groups in marginal habitats in eastern Mali (Tamesna), central and eastern Niger (Aïr, Termit), and western Chad (Eguey).
Critically endangered with possibly fewer than 300 left in the wild in small highly isolated groups. Like most Saharan ungulates, victim to combination of over-hunting, drought and habitat loss. Appendix I on both CITES and CMS conventions.

Hartford Solar Panels for Your Home
Going green at home is such an essential step for all of us. Little things like conserving water and electricity can go a long way, but a more effective approach is to use solar power to power your home. Many of the most modern households are choosing to go with solar technology because it saves them thousands in electricity bills, helps them to drastically reduce their carbon footprint on the Earth, and also adds considerable value and class to a home.
Green technology is so important these days because we have seen how current, outdated power standards are causing severe destruction to the planet. It has become glaringly apparent that this planet is not going to last forever, and it is up to all of us to start setting the tone for a new era of sustainability. While it may not be possible to switch over to clean power overnight, we can certainly start setting an important precedent for the future generations that will inherit this planet, as well as our environmental problems.
Every time that we use electricity, we are contributing to the consumption of fossil fuels. While we may not be doing it directly or deliberately, it is the sad truth. Burning coal, gas, or oil causes the release of carbon dioxide, which is the reason behind the global temperature changes that have been such a prominent topic in the media lately. In order to conserve our limited resources and stop using them for destruction, it is imperative that we start taking advantage of the renewable energy sources that we are so fortunate to have.
Instead of continuing to pay for dirty electricity year after year, it is finally possible to be able to pay a flat fee for solar equipment, and then enjoy years of free, or at least heavily discounted, electricity. If you, like so many Connecticut residents, are tired of the rising cost of fuel these days, now is definitely an ideal time to switch over to solar power at home. Many homeowners have already started saving money and you can too by installing residential solar panels for your home in Hartford, Connecticut.
The beautiful thing about solar power is that the sun is an actual free energy source. Why should we continuing viewing the sun as an alternative energy source, when it provides us with more than enough clean energy to power homes and businesses for all time? When the other option is paying ridiculous prices to pollute the planet, it becomes quite clear which option makes sense.
As a resident of Hartford, Connecticut, you are also fortunate to be able to enjoy some exceptional solar rewards programs that most other states do not have access to. You can use net-metering to sell surplus energy back to the utility company. You can collect cash rebates on every Watt of solar energy generated; you can enjoy generous tax credits, and much, much more. Never before has there been such an exciting time for solar users, and there is no guarantee that these programs will be available to people that get their solar energy systems too late.
We are pleased to provide Connecticut homeowners with affordable, quality solar panels. If you are looking for a way to go solar with $0 down, or if you want to finance your solar panels on a monthly basis, just give us a call. We believe that switching to home solar power in Hartford, Connecticut should be something that anyone can do, regardless of their current financial status. If you want to go green at home, reduce your living costs, and enjoy some government benefits, just give us a call!
What Can You Save With Solar?
With no end in sight for soaring electricity rates, your switch to solar will secure affordable power for your home & family for years to come.

The visual is almost the same as the pecel we all know, but here’s the difference. If the pecel using the rice as an additional carbo, in this Lontong Jukut, there’s a Lontong. The Lontong is made in triangle shape.
3. Nasi Tepeng (Tepeng Rice)
In the third place of famous local foods in Bali, there’s Nasi Tepeng standing still. Nasi Tepeng is easily found in the southern area of Bali, like Gianyar for example. It’s really good and healthy.
Beside having the rice as tbase component, it has many kind of vegetables that make the dish more complete. They also add some peanut sauce on top, which is the best combination. You can feel the sweet and delicious flavor of the spices.
4. Serombotan Bali
There’s Serombotan Bali in the fourth place. This is one is also has the same aspects with another Javanese food, Urap. Urap-urap is like the Javanese salad, but without any sauce on top. As a replacer, there’s some coconut on top of it.
Everything is actually the same, including the type of vegetables and the others. But, the only thing that can differs this one with Urap is the Kalas. Kalas will replace the coconut topping on top of the Serombotan.
5. Sate Lilit
Of course, the well known Sate Lilit is included. Not the same with another Sate or Satay like Chicken or goat satay, this one has so many different aspects. If the usual satay is using the wooden thin stick, then this Sate Lilit will use the other stuff that more big and save.
Also, this Sate Lilit uses the meat of mackerel, that cost a little bit expensive than the chicken or goat. That’s why, the price of Sate Lilit is actually a bit non affordable for some people. But, if you happen to have some money, better try it at least once.
6. Ayam Betutu
Of course, on this list we have to include this very famous dish of Ayam Betutu. Ayam Betutu is actually one of the best foods that you can find in Bali. Even some foreign tourists really love this food, they usually asking the recipe before going home to their country.
The spicy chicken of Betutu is actually not so expensive, but it’s not very affordable for some people either. So we can include that this food is in the mid level of food prices.
7. Bebek Betutu
After the Ayam or chicken Betutu, we have another Betutu to introduce for you, the Bebek Betutu. The bebek or duck Betutu is actually has the same spices as the food above, but the base is of course different.
As its name, this Bebek Betutu uses the duck as the base aspect to get the best experience from it. Now you may notice that the price of Bebek Betutu might be a bit higher than the Ayam Betutu. But surely, the taste will be much great.
8. Lawar Kuwir
Lawar Kuwir is also has the same physical appearances as the Urap and Serombotan, but there’s something different in here. While the Urap and Serombotan only use the vegetables without any meat, this Lawa Kuwir is using the pork as additional topping.
Many say that this food is really delicious, but Moslem can’t eat it. So if you happen to be a non-moslem, you can find the Lawa Kuwir in your nearest traditional market. Usually there’s a vendor selling this stuff.
9. Tipat Cantok
The next one is the Tipat Cantok. Maybe some of you haven’t heard about this food. Well, this food is really great, very good indeed. This food is actually just the same as the Gado-gado in East Java basically.
But in Bali, they usually prefer to use the Ketupat than Lontong. By then, this famous local food in Bali was called as Tipat (Ketupat) Cantok. It’s really good.
10. Mengguh Porridge
We already told you about this porridge in previous article. But for you who still don’t have any clue about it, here’s some facts for you. You can find this porridge so easily in the area of Buleleng, Bali. It’s a bit hard to find it in other areas beside Buleleng.
The chicken, the spices are really make this food hard to miss. Usually they serve this porridge during the traditional ceremonies in Buleleng. But in daily activities, you can still find it somewhere else around Buleleng.
11. Nasi Sela ( Cassava Rice)
The next one is Nasi Sela, or you can call it as Cassava Rice. Yes, it’s a combination between the cassava and the rice. They usually use either the cassava or yam. Both of them are great to be honest. You can try both of them and try to find the difference.
This can be agreat solution in our rice problem, because we can use the other carbo sources other than complete rice. However, Nasi Sela is not complete without the Lilit Satay. This is very good one, you must try it.
See also :
12. Be Pasih Sambel Matah
In the 12th place we have the Be Pasih Sambel Matah. Some of you might have a slight chance of knowing the sambel matah, the famous sambal or sauce from Bali. But in here, the sambel matah combined with the fish.
The fresh cooked fish combine with Matah sauce. Well, the taste is unbelievable. The fresh taste from fish is amazingly combined with the hot and delicious sauce. You should try this when you come to Bali.
The next one is Brengkes. You can find this so easily in so many stalls in Bali area. Some of you might notice that this food has the similarity with the Pepes. Just like Pepes, Berengkes also covered in banana leaf that can give the special aroma.
The taste of Berengkes is a bit spicy and challenging for some people. You can easily buy it in the nearest stores in Bali, with only a few thousand rupiahs. The Berengkesis very good to east during the rainy day, or maybe during the cold evening.
14. Garangasem Bali
Garangasem is like the queen food of Bali beside the Ayam Betutu. The sour feeling is so refreshing, especially during the busy activities in a day. There’s many kinds of Garangasem, like the Fish Garangasem or the Beef Garangasem.
Actually the Fish work the best, because the fresh taste that came from the fish is really good if combined with Garangasem spices. It’s very good.
15. Nasi Bubuh
The next one is Nasi Bubuh. The food in this 15h position is also can be found so easily in the area of Buleleng, Bali. Usually you can eat it with so any additional stuff like tempeh, egg, or hot sauce.
Usually the people use the egg and the hot sauce to complete the Nasi Bubuh. The Hot taste is really fit the tongue of Indonesian people.
16. Sate Plecing
Beside sate lilit, there’s sate plecing. This sate plecing is served in such an unique way, by using the plecing bamboo. By using it, the taste of it will increase in a very good way.
This sate plecing is also very spicy, because of the use of chili and other spices that putted into the bamboo. It came with a good aroma, welcoming you to eat it immediately.
17. Nasi Jinggo (Jinggo Rice)
In the last place of famous local foods in Bali, we have the Nasi Jinggo or Jinggo rice. Nasi Jinggo is also as the similarity with the Nasi Krawu, with its sauce and the banana leaf as a cover.
This Nasi Jinggo is very affordable, even though for the tight budget tourist. One Nasi Jinggo ain’t enough, at least you need to eat two portions to fulfill your stomach.
See also :
That’s the 17 list of famous local foods in Bali. You can find them in your nearest traditional vendors, sellers, or markets. You must take a bit look to find them because there’s not so many of them in these days. But if you finally got it, you can test the wonderful taste they have with full pleasure. Plus you can finally understand that Indonesia, in this case Bali, has various of things to discover. So your journey will never stop in Bali, there’s much to find here. That’s the beautiful thing right there. Enjoy.

i'm not sure how much basketball you follow, but paul was the mvp candidate. not deron.
also, im not calling paul a flashy player, but his style of play is flashier and more high-lite friendly than williams'.
i don't know how much deron you've watch, moremilk, but i would love to hear why he'll fall out of favor.
Paul almost got the MVP because he did stuff few (if any) other point guards have done in the history of the league. But even deep into the season, there were lots of media people on Deron's bandwagon, only towards the last 2 months did Paul start to take over.
And you did
call Paul a flashy player, but that's ok, I understand what you mean. And I agree that he's more fun to watch than Deron, but the key is that he's not doing it for the flash (like Arenas or Kobe), it's just a result of his ability to do extraordinary things. Steve Nash is also very flashy, some of the things he does are amazing - how many times did you hear the tv guys saying that "he looks like he has eyes behind his back" etc. But, as Paul, Nash is not throwing those passes because they are flashy, but because they are the best solution for that particular moment.
When it comes to watching, I pretty much saw all their playoff games (and the the ones against the Raptors
of course), and what Paul did against Dallas and San Antonio was extraordinary. He made bowen look like a rookie, and it got to the point where Popovich had to concede and put Parker on him, because it wouldn't have made any difference anyway (at least bowen could annihilate Stojakovic).
And, finally, Deron was never in my favor, I always thought he is overrated. He's a great point guard, don't get me wrong, but he's more Jose Calderon
than Chris Paul. He will be a very good player for the rest of his career, maybe even get into the hall of fame. But Paul right now looks like a candidate for best point guard ever to me. Different league.

Julie Robinson Esparza
I’ve had an ache in my soul as long as I can remember. A longing for connection. Connection with others, connection with self and a deep ache for connection with God, the Divine who loved me into this very existence. A yearning to be explored and expressed.
Painting for me is how I court myself, how I gently caress the relationship between self and soul and the Divine. It’s like a dance with the soul. Painting is how I patiently and lovingly peek into the sacred space between worlds and feel connection with ALL. Once the connection has been made, the information becomes right there, easy to access and the connection is almost instantaneous; like allowing my soul to sing its own soul song. Painting has allowed me to be more comfortable with my own imperfection and uniqueness removing the mask that keeps me from showing up as my most authentic self. It has taught me vulnerability and has begun to cultivate a deeper love, appreciation and acceptance of self.
My greatest hope is that you feel a connection to my work enough that you might want to share in this creative, soul healing process of HypnoPainting with me.

Ronald McDonald Houses are known for their selfless service to families in need. Since 1980, the Ronald McDonald House of Durham has been providing a home for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at Duke Children’s Hospital.
Each year, the Durham RMH sees more than 800 families cross its’ threshold for a home away from home during a challenging and exhausting time in their lives.
The Ronald McDonald House of Durham provides food and shelter to their families. Their mission is for the families who stay there to leave their worries of day to day life with RMH. Volunteers try to put a homemade dinner on the table every weekday for the families and the staff does everything they can to provide a relaxed and loving environment.
Food, toiletries, snacks for the hospital, shuttles to and from the hospital; these are all items that RMH strives to supply for the families, so that they can focus on their main challenge- getting past their child’s acute illness.
All of this is available to families who qualify with the correct medical referral and $10-15/night, which is considered a hardship fee and can be discussed with the staff, as needed. With all that is given to these families in need, it is no wonder why the RMH depends so heavily on volunteers.
Volunteers help by working at the RMH of Durham; they can also donate to the RMH wish list, found on their website, at http://www.ronaldhousedurham.org/page/wish-list. Another way you can help is by collecting pop tabs and donating them to the house, either at their direct location, or any American Legion. By recycling these pop tabs, the RMH Durham has raised a great amount of money. They average, 450 lbs every ten days- which amounts to $234.
Now, you can do something extra to help the RMH of Durham! On Saturday, October 2010 the RMH of Durham is having a Shop for A Cause at Belk or Macy’s. On Saturday, October 2010 you can purchase a ticket for the Macy’s Shop for a Cause or Belk’s Charity Sale, which takes place on Saturday, November 6. The tickets are $5 and can be used nationwide.
The Belk ticket includes a $5 off coupon and 20%-70% off storewide. The Macy's ticket gets you 25% off one item and 10%-20% off all items in the store. To purchase tickets, please contact Lindsay Hege, Special Event Manager at Lindsay@ronaldhousedurham.org or 919-281-1064.
Proceeds go toward the families in need of the RMH services. You can help those in need, get great savings and a early jump on Christmas shopping, all at the same time.

“Smelly Mug’drezor, filthy Mug’drezor, A**hole Mug’drezor” Inside the darkness curses can be heard as a demon sits there cultivating with an irritated look on his face.
That man is naturally Murgal. It’s been 2 months since he was pushed into the tunnel of disaster by Mug’drezor on his ancestor’s orders.
“I know you can hear me old man! You just wait… one day I will throw you in some swamp in the lower realms and have you stink so badly the entire west would avoid you whilst pinching their noses” Murgal curses out once more as these months have been nothing but pure mental torture, he has even stopped feeling that he is falling down, and it makes his entire body and soul believe he isn’t even moving anymore in the pitch blackness.
Mug’drezor looks at Murgal with irritation on his face as he observes his cultivation, to reach the upper stages of the colossal core at the age of 105 means very little in the western realm, compared to the eastern realm he would be considered the trash of trash, not even worthy of polishing their shoes. [This kid has truly wasted his time all these years, with all the elixirs, pills, and potions he was given since birth to not even touch on the first essential requirements of the celestial core despite all that… Heh, my great-great-grand daughter would slaughter him like a headless chicken and she’s only 38 years old!] Mug’drezor grins as he looks around.
He too has slowly stopped feeling that he is descending down the tunnel but still notices the passing of souls every now and then, so far they have been left alone without any danger. However, once time goes on, the more powerful and more aggressive souls will appear, and they will definitely strike them on sight.
“Murgal, you had best start getting ready. Soon, we will have to start fighting our way down, with your resources I’m sure you can last several years.” Mug’drezor warns
Murgal tenses up when he hears Mug’drezor’s voice but soon turns solemn as the true trial will soon begin. “I know… I still have all off my possessions in my interspatial ring as I’ve never trust anyone with them.”
“Good.” The dark space turns quiet once more as the two keep descending in the tunnel.
Meanwhile, in the throne room of planet Thar’aron
“Your highness, all the armies have been gathered. It’s taken quite a while, but everyone is now fully battle ready. The only missing ones are the three royal guards your highness has send out.” The 48 royal guards stand in the throne room as one gives Balgis the report.
“Mm, very well. How about the information department on Sharlae and all the succubi in the exalted realm?”
Another guard pops stands up, this information usually being Ror’iron’s department but with his absence another has taken the position temporarily. “We’ve done non-stop investigation the past two months on the succubi and there seems to be no issue other than Sharlae herself, she’s still hiding something and suspect it might be related to the northern deva.”
Balgis looks at the guard before closing his eyes in thought [She must have some suspicions on me immediately putting her in a position close to me, but by doing this she will be incapable of hiding with the royal mark on her.] He opens his eyes once more “Good. As of now Sharlae will be a new member of the royal guards, she is currently still in her old position in that pathetic betting hall. Have her permanently stationed inside the castle and disallow her access to everything, she will be guarding my door at all times. Failure in doing so will lead to direct punishment.”
The royal guards kneel once more “As you command, I shall pass the orders on”
“Very well, you are all dismissed. Begin training with the armies as soon as possible, I want them ready to face even the east within a year!” Balgis stands up and leaves the throne room for the first time in a very, very long time.
The guards all stand up and vanish from the throne room, leaving it empty as they all start executing Balgis’s order.
On Elohim, Arkoluth has been sticking around the restaurant and town he first arrived at for two months, unsure what to truly do he’s been sitting out his time hoping for any luck.
A dracaena appears in the sky above the city, which is inside the long family’s territory. [I wonder what this bastard has been up to.]
The city’s name is Lagoonreach, a city next to the border of the Condatis’s territory, a lake connecting the two. It’s both of beautiful ancient eastern and ancient western design, unifying the two territories into one city.
In the middle of the town is a giant fountain with a dragon statue on top with bright pure water coming out of it, it being so pure you can barely see the water coming out, only sound confirming that it actually does. It’s one of the biggest city in the Long family’s territory and an important one as well due to it having both people from the Long’s sector and Condatis’s sector.
The dracaena is naturally Dhynetyh. She has followed Balgis’s order and been to the royal family and delivered his gift. She’s been researching the situation around Elohim, attempting to obtain any necessary information to ensure she can stay here for an extended amount of time, completely ignoring Arkoluth not caring whether he lives or dies.
[It’s amazing enough he’s still alive with his attitude.] She lands in the town centre and scans around in search of Arkoluth’s presence. [Hmm? He’s in one of the restaurants? Probably wolfing down some food.]
She starts directly walking towards the restaurant as bystanders make way for her, detecting her celestial core cultivation relatively easy as strength means everything on Elohim and she, a dracaena, is technically a member of the east. With her gorgeous looks and demonic armour many men are curiously looking at her but not approaching her out of respect for her cultivation and not wanting to die since anyone strong enough has a license to kill.
She gets in front of the restaurant and opens the door as a bell rings.
“Welcome, customer!” A demon wearing waiter clothes welcomes Dynetyh in.
Dhynetyh freezes as she looks at the demon, clearly recognizing Arkoluth in the clothes as her face starts twitching and a terrifying killing aura spreads through the entire city “What in Balgis’s name are you doing?!" Dhynetyh erupts in complete and utter rage, a direct descendent of the Thar’aron family has lowered himself to working in a mere restaurant as a puny waiter, by far crossing Dhynetyh’s bottom line.
Arkoluth freezes up as she notices Dhynetyh’s arrival and doesn’t dare to move an inch.
A robust man panicky runs to the front of the restaurant as he looks at the enraged dracaena who is looking at his new waiter “Dear customer, please, cease your anger! I know demons are an unworthy bunch, but he is merely working in a restaurant, so he cannot do much!”

The United States has a history of facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, beginning with its founding when Americans won independence by defeating the most powerful nation in the world.
We preserved the union and ended slavery in a horrific Civil War. We worked our way through the Great Depression and led the Allies to victory in World War II. We withstood the shocks of assassinations of political leaders, defeat in Vietnam and a cultural counterrevolution at home. We held firm to our convictions despite the Watergate scandal. We defeated Soviet communism and tracked down our enemies in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We surmounted a great recession, and we are fighting a deadly pandemic.
We are now engaged in an epic debate—this time about our political future. It is complicated by our mass media, which stress all that is bad and ignore all that is good about U.S. society.
Why have we survived? To put it simply, we are a nation favored with abundant natural resources, an industrious population and an unparalleled national defense. Most of all, the United States is exceptional because of our God-given ability to meet any challenge by calling on the conservative ideas articulated by our Founders and nourished by Western civilization.
Those ideas, contained within the framework of a representative democracy, are limited constitutional government, free enterprise, individual freedom and personal responsibility, traditional American values based on our Judeo-Christian heritage and a strong national defense. When we have been guided by these ideas, we have prevailed, as when President Ronald Reagan led us out of a profound psychological depression by insisting our best days were yet to come; ignited a period of unparalleled prosperity through tax cuts and widespread deregulation and ended the Cold War at the bargaining table and not on the battlefield.
Even with COVID-19 variants, persistent inflation and racial tension, the United States remains an exceptional nation blessed with institutions such as the conservative movement, the only social movement deeply committed to the first principles of the founding of the country. As in the past, the solution to our problems lies not with the federal government but with us.
In this present political crisis, we must resolve anew to preserve and protect that most precious of our possessions—ordered liberty. If we do, we will keep the republic that the Founders handed to us almost two-and-a-half centuries ago.

Three Australian races elevated to Group 1
10 Sep 2012 | At its meeting last Friday, the Asian Pattern Committee (APC) approved the upgrade of three Australian races to the elite Group 1 level.
The 1400m Memsie Stakes run at Caulfield (won in the last three seasons by Gr1 winners Sincero, King’s Rose and dual Cox Plate hero So You Think);
The 1200m A J Moir Stakes (known in 2011 as the Schweppes Stakes) run at Mooney Valley (won in the last three seasons by Champion Sprinters Black Caviar-twice, and Apache Cat); and
The 1300m Canterbury Stakes run at Rosehill Gardens (won in the last three seasons by More Joyous-twice, and the ill-fated Gr1 mare Hot Danish).
The Chairman of the Australian Pattern Committee Alan Brown commented:
“These three races all clearly exceeded the benchmarks set for Group 1 races and thoroughly deserve elevation. The Memsie has been on average the highest rated Group 2 race in Australia and the Moir the second. The Canterbury Stakes was the highest ranking Group 2 race in Australia last year and rated higher than the Doomben 10,000, the only other Group 1 race in Australia over a similar distance.
“The Australian Pattern Committee congratulates the race clubs concerned with these races. They have done an excellent job promoting them over a considerable period of time and have now been rewarded for that effort”
The three races will all carry a minimum of $350,000 from their next running, and brings Australia’s total to 71 Group 1 races befitting Australia’s place as the second largest racing nation in the world (to USA with 112 Group 1 races at a similar ratio of Group 1 to flat races).
The APC will consider applications for upgrading of the Makybe Diva Stakes, the Apollo Stakes and the Schillaci Stakes at its meeting in December.

Cloth Nappy Designs To the Rescue
As Miss A has gotten older and more mobile nappy changes have become harder and harder. Gone are the days of when she would lay there and let me do it. She now wriggles around, tries to sit up, rolls over onto her front, tries to stand up, tries to crawl off the change table etc etc. Tantrum central at times when I try and change her nappy.
Hands up if you know where I am coming from?
Until today when I saw something that may majorly improve nappy change time as it makes it fun. I decided to use our cloth nappies today (we use both cloth and disposable depending on where we are and what we are doing, but we love both). Miss A needed a nappy change and I knew it could be a challenge to get her to agree.
Thankfully as she is getting older her speech is getting better and she is learning more and more words. Thank goodness for Yes and No. Ok so learning the word ‘no’ can be incredibly frustrating for parents as it then becomes no,no,no,no,no. However when it comes to trying to figure out what the child wants or communicate and make an agreement, them understanding and being able to say yes and no makes it so much easier.
I asked Miss A “Do you have a pooey nappy?” “yes” “Can mummy change it?” “yes”. Ok great we had agreed on the fact she had done a poo and the fact she needed it changed BUT then the next challenge is getting her to actually agree to lay on the change table with no fuss.
This is where our cloth nappy stash came in handy! I took her to the box with the nappies in them and said ” Do you want to wear the yellow one?”, “Yeah”. Great again we had come to an agreement. She was rather excited to have a funky yellow cloth nappy on.
A few hours later she needed another nappy change. So we went through the same process, however this time we chose the Unicorn nappy she had gotten out a few times already today. Again she agreed she needed a change, and agreed that the new nappy with unicorns on it would be fun to wear.
Now this is not a 100% guaranteed fool proof method, but involving her in the process has shown a improvement on our change table. Fingers crossed we continue to have more successful changes, but I am sure we will come across the odd tantrums still which is fine.
Have you found something that helps with change time with your wriggly, active toddler?

The course provided by Harsh is precise, simple and it covers daily activities of my Business for QuickBooks. The course is hands on which is a big add-on, I would recommend this course for any business owner. Naeem, Shamco Stairs and Woodworks Inc. My greatest strengths are communication, knowledge, experience, always wanting to learn new things, patient, flexible and well-prepared.
I throughly enjoyed the sessions. I can undoubtedly say that the training provided me a very good grasp of QuickBooks even though I had no previous experience. You have given me full confidence to use the system.
The QuickBooks training provided by Harsh and Fintech was of great value as I was able to implement QB in my organization right after the training. Harsh took the time to answer all questions on specific topics outside of the course's outline. Thanks Harsh.
The QuickBooks training provided by Harsh and Fintech is very helpful and covered a lot of areas that I am using on a daily basis. Harsh is a great trainer and helps you understand the different functionality of QuickBooks. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to learn about the software.

There are hole-in-the-wall Restaurants, then there are the GOOD hole-in-the-wall restaurants. We all have at least one that is our find and recommend it to family and friends. The foodie spirit drives us, and despite appearances and the things that warn us away, we seek the adventure of maybe this is the one. Many times, they aren’t. Sometimes though, we are pleasantly surprised and get a delicious meal for a great price in an atmosphere that takes some adjusting.
I read an online article about famous chef’s and their favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants which were far more exotic than my list.
My first must start with one in Israel. Our tour guide Ido Heruty (www.idotours.com) led us down a long dirt road to Rutenberg’s, a small war-torn place in the Golan Valley. It was small with bathrooms in a separate building and chunks of building missing from shelling (so yeah, literally holes in the wall. Sorry.) ….hmm that can’t be good right?
Well, a menu that has chef preparations and excellent service, and this was just a lunch stop. Ido said he thought it was the best restaurant in Israel, and he may be right. Be careful if you drive at night because of the wild boars.
So this was the dessert: a frozen Crème Brule with a berry sauce…
Nearer to home, we have found a couple of these hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Springdale, AR.
So it is a building you wouldn’t stop in to eat unless someone had already said, “yes it is safe.” A worn converted building with duct tape on the door. The décor is ala hole-in-the wall, but the food is truly wonderful. Soup, tofu, chicken, crab wontons, all have been delish.
Our second go to place is R&R Curry Express. We discovered it at lunch time tucked in a shopping strip mall buried in with Subway and a Thai restaurant. I started with a Veggie Samosa followed by a wonderful vegetarian dish PALAK CHOLE and excellent Naan Bread. In the front room there is a small T.V where you can watch them make the naan bread. It was wonderful that of course we had to tell others of our find. So a few weeks later, we rounded up 7 folks and ordered several appetizers and dishes and passed around. ALL were delicious. The atmosphere is fairly bare but Tandoori was on the T.V. Now the folks we brought along know Indian food better than I, and they confirmed that it was some of the best that they have had.
The last place is Sushi House. Again, a strip mall place in Bentonville, AR, but oh such great food. They inundate you with freebies like soup and a large piece of sushi, then sometimes they will bring a tinfoil wrapped white fish on fire and let it cook. Then after you are stuffed, lovely peeled fruit is set down before you. It is small and tables are quite crowded together, but great service and good price and food.
Please, feel free to share your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant!

You might have been involved in a car accident before at some point in your life. You might even have been injured because of it, and you might have needed the assistance of car accident lawyers devoted to your best interests. You might think that, because you drive for a living and you’ve seen – maybe experienced – what can happen during a car accident, that you understand everything there is to know about road safety.
Yet the difference between a car and a lorry is stark, and what you experienced in a car could be very different when you’re in a truck. The size of the HGV is the main thing that is going to cause the most problems; after all, a lorry weighs about a lot more than a car, on average about 70 tonnes, whereas a car is closer to two tonnes (and often not even that). So clearly, the injuries and accidents that might come about are going to be different, and it is important to understand this and be both aware and prepared for it.
HGV Versus Car
Of course, what takes place during the accident and how it occurs is going to have a significant impact on the injuries that come from it. If an HGV is in an accident with a car, it is likely that the car driver and passengers will be much more severely injured than the truck driver. This is mainly to do with the vehicle’s size and weight, as mentioned above, but also because a lorry driver is specially trained to deal with adverse road conditions. In contrast, a standard car driver may not have this additional training.
This will make the lorry driver’s job a much harder one. Rather than simply driving from one place to the next, the driver must be hyper-aware of what is happening around them, particularly when the weather is bad, or the road conditions are unsafe.
Due to all of this, the injuries that an HGV driver might sustain would, assuming the accident was with a car and not a building or another lorry, be less severe than those they might sustain in a car accident. These include:
This does not take into account the potential for mental health to be affected. Being in an accident is frightening, even if there is very little damage and no injuries. A more major accident will potentially cause the driver to suffer from depression, anxiety (particularly when getting back behind the wheel), even PTSD (which includes panic attacks and flashbacks).
So although the initial injuries that are most common after an HGV accident might seem minor, that should never be taken for granted, and there are plenty of hidden injuries that could need time to heal.
If you have been in an accident when you were driving an HGV, and you are still experiencing trauma now, don’t hesitate to contact a doctor for help. There should never be any stigma when it comes to mental health.

Take care to spend some time in the forum getting to know the people, and the etiquette. Do not use forums and blogs to "advertise" your business or your products. This will be viewed as spam and you could find that the exercise has a negative eff
Finding relevant, quality forums and blogs
To discover good forums and blogs, search for relevant and quality forums or blog sites using Google. You can use a search string similar to the following -'forum:[keyword describing my website theme]' You will need to choose a very generic keyword. For example a website selling meat to a New Zealand market could try the following searches to find relevant forums. “New Zealand” “Meat” “Butcher” “Recipes”
Hint. Keep track of your list of relevant forums and blogs in a spreadsheet and constantly add to it. If you haven't already, don't forget to sign up for Google Alerts. Google will then notify you whenever they find a new link to your website.

My new barometer is up and working. Am incredibly excited!
I imagine you are thinking, ‘ah bless she doesn’t get out much!’ But it really is!
I have a shunt called Tom in my head that helps to stop too much swelling. If there is too much or too little pressure my neurological symptoms worsen dramatically.
It was named Tom in an attempt to explain to my then 3 year old why Mummy had to go into hospital and that we have to be careful so Tom doesn’t get grumpy. This has quite obviously caused great confusion to many who have congratulated me on my impending arrival when Esme talks about Tom in mummy’s tummy!
Just to add to the excitement of Tom I can actually hear fluid draining in my head yuk and am very susceptible to static shocks. Much to the amusement of my darling child who finds it hilarious to rub balloons on her head to increase static and then touch me, giving me a shock. I mean honestly, as if I don’t have enough to contend with!
Tom has a mind of his own and is very temperamental. One of the things he is very stroppy about is atmospheric pressure. So there is the exciting part, I am now able to compare shunt performance with weather patterns. This is of course only for my information and unfortunately will not be publishing any clinical data in case anyone was wondering.
Okay I admit it, you were right I do need to get out more 😉

A while back I attended an event called “Can I Kiss You?” in McGuire Hall. The speaker’s name was Mike Domitrz and the lecture was all about dating and healthy relationships. I went into this event expecting it to be all about using protection during sex and the expression “no means no”. However, I found this session to be very informative about relationships and respect for women. The crowd of students was very involved in the lecture as it was very interactive. I learned a lot from this lecture and also found that I was able to relate it to some works we have read for class.
The lecture started with Mike bringing up some volunteers from the audience. He asked the volunteers a few questions about relationships and dating and they responded with the typical responses that teenagers would give. When the guys in the audience were asked if they would ask a girl’s permission to kiss her the majority of them said no. A few reasons why they wouldn’t ask included they thought it would be awkward, and that it ruins the moment. I learned that asking for permission to kiss a girl shows her that you respect her more than anything else. Later in the presentation Mike told us the story of his sister being raped. He was in college when he got a phone call from his mom telling him what had happened about four hours earlier. Next, his sister came on the phone and actually asked him if there was anything he needed. I thought it was incredible that someone who had just been through so much could ask such a selfless question. I found myself agreeing with just about everything that Mike was saying about dating and relationships throughout the entire lecture.
From this presentation I learned the importance of respecting women. The entire talk was supposed to teach both guys and girls about dating and healthy relationships. However, I felt like I learned more about respecting others and respecting women. Mike proved to us that it is better to ask a woman’s permission before you kiss her. If they give you their permission then thats great and if they say no then at least you’ve showed them that you respect them. I also learned about the goodness of people. I thought that it was incredible that Mike’s sister was asking him if there was anything he needed only four hours after being through such a traumatic experience. I felt like her expressing concern for another showed what it meant to be truly good.
I found relations between the “Can I Kiss You?” presentation, the novel Whale Rider, and the short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. The idea and importance of respecting women is clearly evident in both the presentation and the novel Whale Rider. In Whale Rider, one of the major conflicts is the conflict between male and female. First we see this with Koro Apirana and Nanny Flowers arguing with each other and then we see the ignorance of Koro towards his granddaughter Kahu. Koro doesn’t give Kahu an opportunity to prove herself just because she is a woman in a male dominated tribe. His lack of respect towards women can be related to the lack of respect for women a guy has who doesn’t think it is important to ask a girl’s permission to kiss them. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the idea of being truly good is presented. The grandmother in the story was an example of someone who was selfish. She waited until it was too late to try and be a “good” person. The story tells us that a good person is someone who is quite the opposite as the grandmother. Mike’s sister showed that she was a truly good person in expressing concern for others when she was just through a horrible experience. She was the opposite of the grandmother in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” in that she was extremely selfless and cared for others more than she cared for herself.
The “Can I Kiss You”? presentation opened my eyes to a lot of information about relationships that I did not know about previously. I learned that stepping out of your comfort zone and asking a girl’s permission to kiss them displays the respect you have towards them. I also learned the true definition of being a good person. I thought the story of Mike’s sister was unbelievable and I didn’t think anyone could ever be so selfless in their actions. Caring for others and putting others ahead of yourself is what makes people truly good.

I just spent two hours running errands. I’m half tempted to write an insane, long rant about people’s inability to drive on the freeway in Nashville. I will instead, try to remain smiling and forget the whole episode.
While I was out I got a bias tape maker in a wider size. I will now work very hard to get everything else I need to do done before I spend the rest of the day making bias tape. I don’t even need bias tape immediately for anything, I just suddenly want to make lots of it in patterns and bright colors.
This weekend I did a little refashioning. Turning an oddly sized long-sleeved blouse into a much cuter, better fitted short-sleeved blouse. I forgot to take a before picture, but this gives you the general idea of what I removed:
I also made a sewing set on my Flickr, which has a few more details on this and some past projects as well.

Can our love of freedom be rekindled? Frankly, I doubt it. We’re too lazy. Too used to the good life. We love living as adult children with our mommy and daddy, in the form of government, taking care of our basic needs while we sit around worrying who the next Falcons head coach will be and who is going to be the next American Idol.
I guess in a few years from now some young people will look at me and think to themselves “He’s old! Yeeechhhhh.” Yeah, maybe so. But I knew America when freedom was precious. I knew America before the war on the individual. I knew America before political correctness. I knew America when individual accomplishment was celebrated, not derided; when grades meant something and when the mother of a functionally illiterate child didn’t drive around with a “My child is an honor student” bumper sticker on her car….
Can America be saved? Can we be rescued from politicians who are more interested in their positions of power and the perks that come with membership in the congress? Perhaps … but I don’t see it happening. I don’t see it happening as long as CNN can travel to the sidewalks and find some young bimbo who will proclaim that she doesn’t want to manage any part of her own retirement plans — that she would rather have the government do it all for her. I don’t see it happening as long as people look to the government to set their wage rates. And I certainly don’t see it happening as long as the American people remain blissfully unaware of the threat of Islamic fascism.neil boortz
read it all here.
he’s right. when will we realize that giving more control to the government means that the average american has less control of his or her own life? we have gotten soft, and in the world we live in today, apathy is a luxury we cannot afford to keep for very long. america faces external threats. those demand the attention of the united states government, and rightly so. it also faces internal threats which also threaten to destroy our civilization from within. we cannot allow this to happen.

The project is developed by the French Research Institute INSERM and supported by Aides, France and the Correlation Network.
This manual is designed to be used in building skills of teams of peers, volunteers and professionals already experienced and working in the frame of harm reduction programmes and who wish to address the specific needs of counselling to improve injection techniques and other health outcomes such as reducing risk of infections. As such, the manual offers an ‘add-on’ to initial and other training, building on existing foundations, interventions and services. It is not designed to be a ‘stand alone’ manual. The intervention should be nested in a wider and preferably stable harm reduction programme.
The training and more Eurosider results will be presented at the Hep Community Summit. Project partners are INSERM, AIDES, C EHRN, Aras, GAT, Initiative for Health and Praksis.

Thanksgiving at St. Mary's
Monday's lab I was in the group who led the main activities. I taught Turkey Soup. It was a soccer type game where all the 'ingredenents' were placed in the middle of the gymnasium and bring it back to the 'pot' by kicking the balls into the goal. I was able to keeps the kids attention very well this week because I kept my instructions short, so I would not lose them and their attention. It was very fun even though only 5 students participated at first. The students that participated seemed very excited to play and loved the game. When I was asking some of the students who were not participating in the game one student said he did not want to play my game. After the gymnasium was done we went down to the cafeteria. I was playing mancala with Tim, and after I played store with Suzy. They were very happy to have us students their playing with them and they loved every minute of it. Back up in the gym I played tag with Joey, and Billy. They were having a riot trying to tag me and have me be it. It was a lot of fun today. I look forward to the last lab at St. Mary's. Even though it is the last lab that we will have their, it was a great experience where I learned a lot about teaching to the elementary aged school kids. They are so excited to see us every time we go, and every week they tire you out because you are playing with them and chasing them around the gym.

Bonjour Sir D,
Before the first Carl Froch-Mikkel Kessler fight I could not stand Carl. The whole Calzaghe-baiting nonsense drove me crackers.
However, in the first fight with Kessler he actually won me over by frustrating me (bizarrely). I saw a real warrior who in my view would have won if he had applied just that little bit more pressure and followed up on his opportunities, rather than admiring his own handiwork and gazing at a stunned Mikkel. If open judges scoring had been used…….
In his next fight he put it all together and controlled Arthur Abraham. Against Andre Ward he came up technically short but was still hugely impressive and a UK fighter to be proud of who clearly belonged at the peak of the sport. In recent fights he has been the crazed Cobra unleashed.
On Saturday, I see an extended repeat of round one of Hagler vs Hearns with one minor difference – I think that level and ferocity will continue for around seven rounds – big punches, cuts, wobbles, loads of mutual respect and nods between the fighters, maybe even knocking each other down at the same time (Rocky II reference). Ultimately, my Bran Stark inner-eye sees Kessler walking into a big one early in Round 8 and collapsing out of sheer exhaustion. Carl will probably help him to his feet shortly before collapsing on his own stool.
All hail The Bible of Boxing. – Darren, Guernsey, Channel Islands
I hope your prophetic vision is indeed as strong as Lord Eddard and Lady Catelyn’s lad, Darren.
I’d love to watch an extended ring war that equals or even approaches Hagler-Hearns-level violence, precision and intensity. However, I don’t think we’re going to be treated to that kind of fight. Stylewise, Hagler-Hearns was the immovable object (the Marvelous One) vs. the irresistible force (the Hitman). Froch-Kessler isn’t that kind of matchup. Both super middleweights have power, but they aren’t punchers (and they’re certainly not in Hearns’ class). Both have aggressive streaks but they aren’t forward-marching technicians like Hagler.
Froch and Kessler are boxers. Froch is a bit unorthodox, and he’s definitely rugged, but he’s essentially a wily boxer. Kessler was a classic stand-up, jab and one-two boxer for many years, but under trainer Jimmy Montoya’s influence, the Dane has developed into more of combination puncher in recent years.
Their styles still mesh to make for a good fight as evidenced by their first bout, but we can’t expect them to explode on each other from the opening bell as Hagler and Hearns did 28 years ago.
I think we’ll get another distance bout with tomorrow’s rematch, and I believe it will be much like the first bout, only with more early rounds intensity and a faster start from Froch.
I agree that he admired his work a bit too much in the first bout. As the undefeated reigning WBC champ, I think Froch carried a sense of entitlement into that fight. He had the attitude that his challenger had to “take” his crown from him, even though he was in Kessler’s home territory. I believe losing that fight and then regaining the title (vs. Abraham) made Froch appreciate it more than he had when he was undefeated. Losing it again (to Andre Ward) and then winning the IBF belt (by knocking out Lucian Bute) has given Froch even more respect for the world title, along with newfound fame and respect at home.
It’s also boosted his already strong confidence sky high. I know Kessler won the first bout and he enters the bout with his own considerable skill, experience and confidence, but I think the Englishman is going to be very hard to beat tomorrow.
END OF THE LINE FOR THE VIKING WARRIOR?
Dougie! Hope you’re doing well and will get a chance to see the fight this upcoming weekend.
Me and a couple of viking supporters are heading out in the morning towards London to try and cheer the Danish champion to victory. Naturally, we’ll be checking out your mailbag as a warm up before the fight, so give us a shout out and let us know how you see this one going!
We’ve got good money on Kessler, but the bet was placed with heart rather than reason, and I honestly think this is the end of the line for Viking Warrior. Froch’s iron chin, supernatural tenacity, outlandish confidence and home turf advantage makes a Kessler win a very unlikely scenario in my mind. Despite his somewhat heavy hands, Mikkel is not going to knock him out, and any close rounds will surely go to Froch, considering the opposite was the case the last time out. Also, Kessler has been rocked (by Froch and Allan Green) and cut in some of his recent fights, and a tough battle of attrition might actually wear him down to a TKO defeat.
I like Froch, though (what a genuine badass), and had he been in with any other opponent, I’d have been rooting for him.
Assuming the loser retires, who do you see the winner take on next, depending on who brings home the belts? – Kasper from Denmark
First of all, big shout out to Kasper and the Viking hoard from Denmark that is in London to cheer on their brave warrior, Mikkel Kessler.
May the all-father Odin be with Kessler. May his left hook carry the power of Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir. May he possess the cunning of Loki.
OK, now that I’ve said all that, I can tell you that I honestly don’t believe that Kessler will need the blessing of Norse gods to beat Froch.
Your guy can fight. He was always a good boxer with a strong jab and sharp right hand, but now he’s cracking with his hook and even working the body well.
However, you are correct: Froch possesses “(an) iron chin, supernatural tenacity, outlandish confidence and home turf advantage” (well stated, Kasper!), and I do favor the Sheriff of Nottingham to win a decision.
I don’t think either fighter will retire after tomorrow’s showdown because I think the fight will be close and darn good. If Froch wins, as most expect him to, I think fans will clamor for a rubber match.
However, if the loser does retire, I think the obvious choice for the winner is RING super middleweight champ Andre Ward. Both Froch and Kessler have unfinished business with the undefeated American and I think HBO (which obviously has an interest in that bout – it’s the reason the U.S. cable giant is televising Froch-Kessler II) will contribute to the necessary financial incentive to make it happen.
Beyond Ward, I think both Froch and Kessler will look to finish out their careers at light heavyweight where the Immortal B-Hop, Chad Dawson and Nathan Cleverly eagerly await them.
KESSLER WILL KO FROCH
I agree that Kessler and Montoya have clicked as fighter and trainer. I agree that Kessler’s offense is more varied and that his left hook has become a dangerous weapon. I agree that Kessler has more pop on his best power shots than Froch does.
However, I’m not sure that Kessler’s chin is better than the Englishman’s. And I’m not sure if Kessler is necessarily a “better” fighter under Montoya. Yes, he beat Froch (barely) with Jimmy in his corner, but he was still boxing with his “old” style at that time. Since that fight, he’s only fought three times, against solid-but-not-elite opposition. So it’s hard to tell if Kessler has really improved since he fought Froch.
I know he’s more offense-minded, and he’s sitting down on his punches more, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s better.
I think it means that he’s going to help create some exciting, perhaps dramatic, moments during tomorrow’s rematch. I think he has the power to hurt Froch and he might do that, but I think Froch possesses amazing recuperative powers. He’s proven that in his slugfest with Jean Pascal, his first title defense against Jermain Taylor, and even in his losses to Kessler and Ward.
Kessler might catch Froch and it might look like the Brit is going to get knocked out, but I think Froch will bounce back. I also think Kessler will bounce back if he gets hurt.
These guys are experienced, world-class veterans; they know how to survive adversity. They’re going gut out a wobbly moment. They’re gonna get up if they are knocked down.
And if either man had a poor chin, I think somebody would have knocked him out by now.
But we’ll see what happens. If Kessler wins, I’ll be happy for him because so many boxing fans and pundits all but counted him out in this fight. And I’ll be happy for Jimmy Montoya, who doesn’t get his due for a trainer who has worked with so many champions over the decades.
HELLO FROM BELFAST
I haven’t been in touch for about a year, so I figured it was time to catch up.
I’m really looking forward to the Carl Froch-Mikkel Kessler rematch this weekend. My friend and I are making the trip from Belfast to London to see it and I don’t think we will be disappointed. The Cobra is never in a boring fight, and with the backing of us Brits I think he will have his revenge. That being said I anticipate a nervy fight that I’ll spend screaming at him in vain to keep his hands up and stop lunging with his punches!!
But my prediction is a win for Froch inside the distance. Kessler hasn’t exactly been mixing it with the elite since the narrow decision over Carl in Denmark, and I think his recent victories merely mask his decline. What’s your take?
After watching Lucas Matthysse destroy Lamont Peterson on Saturday night, I think those guys calling him out had better be careful what they wish for. Peterson is an elite-level fighter who I never thought would be obliterated like that. I give Danny Garcia a reasonable chance (if he can make Matthysse respect him) but I actually laughed out loud at Amir Khan claiming he would be happy to face the Argentine banger during an interview with Sky Sports after the fight. I think we both know how that ends. Who would you like to see Matthysse face next?
As for Devon Alexander; he beat a limited guy in Purdy, who took the fight on short notice because the opportunity was too good to pass up. Hard to get excited about. Maybe I’m just still bitter after sitting up all night to watch that dire fight he had with Tim Bradley a couple of years ago…
Keep up the good work. – Steven McDowell, Belfast, Northern Ireland
Nice to hear from you again, Steven. Don’t be a stranger!
I think Alexander can be in a good fight if he’s in with a world-class aggressor. Purdy was aggressive, but not world class. Alexander vs. Ruslan Provodnikov, Keith Thurman, the Andre Berto-Jesus Soto Karass winner, or the winner of the Kell Brook-Carson Jones rematch would be worth watching.
Alexander vs. pure boxers or one-dimensional punchers (Maidana, Bailey) generally won’t make for TV-friendly fights.
I think Matthysse + Khan = a KO of the Year for “The Machine,” but I don’t fault Amir at all for calling out the Argentine badass. He’s just being a fighter. He’s a world-class former titleholder who believes in himself and isn’t afraid of a challenge. I respect that.
Regarding who I want Matthysse to fight the most, I think Danny Garcia makes the most sense. Matty has earned a world title shot and Garcia, THE RING champ, is in need of a respect-demanding victory or fight.
Garcia-Matthysse is the fight Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is trying to make (for Sept. 7) and I wish him luck in doing so. I think that showdown would add to an already good year of boxing and kick off the final quarter of 2013 in style.
I agree that Kessler hasn’t faced “elite” opposition since the first Froch fight but I don’t agree that his recent victories “merely mask his decline.” I think his victories against Mehdi Bouadla (TKO 6), Allan Green (KO 4) and Brian Magee (TKO 3) have made Kessler look like a power puncher, which might be a bit of a mirage, but I don’t think those fights have hidden a significant drop in his reflexes, technique or athletic prowess.
Physically speaking, I think Kessler is as strong and fast as he’s ever been. Technically speaking, I think he’s world class, but he’s more offense minded, which makes him a little more dangerous but also a little easier to hit.
QUALITY OF SPARRING
This weekend showcase between Mikkel Kessler vs Carl Froch should be a barn-burner and is a 50-50 fight IMO; but after reading the quality of sparring (Nathan Cleverly and George Groves) and the noise from the Froch camp regarding his countrymen, I am starting to believe even more so that Kessler will win 8 rounds to 4.
The Wild Card gym has been known to have real wars within those walls and the Mayweather gym recently been getting a lot of pub; and there’s of course the “I’m a Philly fighter” saying as well, but how much of that really matters?
I remember Oscar De La Hoya getting quality sparring from Edwin Valero and Victor Ortiz from one of his last fights (Mayweather?) and that didn’t really help much. Miguel Cotto doesn’t seem to get high level of sparring when he camps out in Orlando, FL. Paulie Malignaggi looks be to getting the right kind of sparring from Karim Mayfield and Stevie Forbes out on the west coast for his match-up against Adrian Broner so we will see how that works out for him. I know there’s two sides to every coin and I only brought up the negatives. (Maybe so I won’t be disappointed if Froch knocks out Kessler.)
How important is quality of sparring at the elite level of boxing? And do you have any recent gym wars to report?Peace-Out! – Frankie from the Bronx
I don’t have any recent gym wars to report, Frankie. Sadly, I’ve been out of the local gym scene for the past few months (something that will definitely change this summer starting with visits to the gyms were both Marcos Maidana and Josesito Lopez are training for their June 8 showdown).
Quality of sparring is very important at the elite level of the sport but “quality sparring” doesn’t always mean “name” fighters or world-ranked boxers. Often, “quality sparring” means fighters with the right styles or mental and physical attributes to mimic the strengths of the opponent the boxer in camp will face in the real fight.
By the way, De La Hoya sparred with Ortiz and Valero prior to the Pacquiao fight. The late Valero told me the night before that fight that he only went eight total rounds with the Golden Oldie during that camp and that he pretty much had his way with the faded super star the two times they shared the ring. He bet heavily on the Pac-monster to win by knockout.
I think it’s great that Kessler is sparring with two young guns in Cleverly and Groves. I think Cleverly’s busy rangy style is somewhat similar to Froch’s but the Welsh beltholder doesn’t have Froch’s smarts or experience. Nor does Groves, who is world-rated but still developing and learning.
My guess is that they received more from being in camp with Kessler than he did from sparring with them.
BIGGEST FIGHT OUT THERE
Dougie, I will keep brief. Forget Mayweathr v Pacman or Matthyse v Garcia. The biggest fight out there is Matthysse v Adrien Broner. Broner has a big mouth I would love to see him in a ring with Lucas Matthysse. Goodnight Vienna. – Mark
That would be a hell of a fight: a super puncher who has good technique vs. a super boxing talent who has good power. Broner would talk non-stop s__t during the promotional build up, while Matthysse would just smile (probably thinking about what will happen when he lands his first clean shot to the young man’s jaw).
Sadly, I don’t see this matchup taking place any time soon, if ever. If Broner beats Malignaggi (as most expect him to), I think the Cincinnati native will remain in the welterweight division. And, unfortunately, I can see him being pushed further up THE RING’s pound-for-pound ratings, as he’s added to the mythical rankings of other boxing writers, websites and publications.
Once that happens, Broner will become the latest “hypothetical champion” among message board/Twitter Nation fans who have a tendency toward “hugging,” if you know what I mean. By hypothetical champ, I mean that Broner’s fans and supporters will give him a pass for leap-frogging the 140-pound division. They’ll say he doesn’t need to drop down to junior welterweight because “would have” beat Matthysse, Garcia, Peterson, Khan, etc. – and I think it’s fine to have that opinion – but these boobs will give Broner credit for their opinions.
It’s what the old members of what Steve Kim called “Jonestown” did with their hero, Roy Jones Jr., when he was supposed to be the G.O.A.T. When Jones critics argued against his all-time great status because he skipped over too many worthy challenges at middleweight (McClellan, Jackson), super middleweight (Benn, Eubank, Collins, Liles) and light heavyweight (Michalczewski, Nunn), the Roy Boys said: “He would have beat all those guys anyway.”
Same deal with Mayweather now. His fans say he didn’t need to fight Casamayor, Freitas, Spadafora, Johnston, Dorin, Margarito, or Williams because he would have beat them anyway. In their world opinion = accomplishment.
You watch. The same crap will be uttered by the Broner Boys and Band Camp wannabes.
MATTHYSSE’S BEING OVER-APPRECIATED
Some experts IMO are quite over-appreciating Matthysse for his KO of Lamont Peterson and looking at him as a possible Floyd opponent in the future. I think they are being way ahead of themselves here. Yes, the guy’s got a very impressive KO percentage I give him that – but when you look at his 2 (debatable) losses – Judah & Alexander, experts seem to forget Matthysse wasn’t able to finish both.
IMO, if you can’t finish a faded Judah, it’s hard to fathom anyone catching Floyd enough to get him hurt. He may have that slim chance of catching Floyd ala-Mosley but I digress, Matthysse doesn’t have enough speed IMO. He punches wide and I don’t think he has the volume. Add to the fact that the guy will come from 140. I think it will be a Mayweather-Guerrero do over unless somehow Floyd slips by that time.
I’d like to see him unify the titles against Danny Garcia first and (in an IDEAL world where there’s no boxing politics) climb up to welter and impressively defeat 2 guys from the following: Bradley, Marquez, Guerrero, Pacquiao. Then we can go talk about fighting “Money.” For now, all Matthysse-Mayweather talk is premature IMO. – Julius
I don’t think experts or fans are over-appreciating Matthysse, the guy’s earned his respect with a string of impressive showings (including his two losses), but I agree that it’s way premature to talk about Matty challenging Mayweather.
He’s got unfinished business at 140 pounds. For all his accomplishments, he still doesn’t hold a single world title. If he can beat Garcia, he’ll get his heavy hands on THE RING belt plus two major titles. After that, Matty can toss his hat into the 147-pound mix where Golden Boy has a number of interesting tests waiting for him, including Robert Guerrero, former foe Devon Alexander, the Maidana-Lopez winner, the Berto-Soto Karass winner and the Malignaggi-Broner winner.
Those are all very interesting welterweight matchups for boxing’s latest action hero. And like you said, if he can beat two such welters he would make a case for a Mayweather challenge (although I agree that stylewise, Floyd is all wrong for Matty.)
Of course, we’re all assuming that Matthysse wants to go to welterweight. Should he earn champion status against Garcia, he might be content to stay at 140 pounds and defend his crown against the likes of Amir Khan, former foe Zab Judah, and unbeaten up-and-comers, such as Dierry Jean and Karim Mayfield.
Who knows? Garcia might beat him in a war. Or Matthysse might barely beat Garcia in a slugfest that calls for an immediate rematch. Their return bout might be awesome and call for a rubber match. Garcia-Matthysse could be this decade’s Gatti-Ward or Barrera-Morales trilogy.

HPS angular contact ball bearings have better load carrying capacity, higher limit speed and accuracy. Take the universal combination as the standard. (a) By extending the service life, it helps to reduce the operating cost of industrial machinery. By optimizing the internal design of the bearing and unique material technology, the bearing life is 90% longer than the original product. Therefore, it helps to reduce maintenance frequency and operating costs. In addition, in the case of the same set life, the miniaturization of the bearing is realized, which helps to realize the miniaturization and energy-saving design of the machine. By increasing the limit speed, it is helpful to realize the high speed of industrial machinery. By optimizing the internal design of the bearing model and the precision processing and manufacturing technology, the limit speed of the bearing is increased by 15%-20% compared with the original product. Therefore, the speed of industrial machinery can be increased, which contributes to the improvement of work efficiency. The universal combined bearing is used as a standard inventory product to facilitate accurate positioning. Precision machining and manufacturing technology are adopted. The bearing rotation accuracy reaches P5 level and the dimensional accuracy reaches P6 level. Angular contact ball bearings can be freely combined to facilitate precise positioning. Therefore, it is convenient for the assembly and maintenance of industrial machinery, and at the same time helps to achieve high efficiency of the machinery. There are 3 kinds of cages suitable for different purposes, which help to improve the reliability of industrial machinery. There are 3 kinds of cages to choose from: nylon 46 plastic cage with good high temperature strength (photo 1), excellent oil resistance and chemical resistance L-PPS plastic cage (photo 2) and high-reliability copper alloy car cage (photo 3). Therefore, the bearing helps to improve the reliability required by various industrial machinery.

If you came here looking to find out more about the Masterminds movie being released in 2016, you have come to the wrong place. However, you may want to keep reading anyway. The Masterminds are actually a group organized by The Success Alliance. These Mastermind groups provide a place for brainstorming, education, support and peer accountability in a group setting that are more intimate than small business conferences. The masterminds behind these groups offer a plethora of tools for the average person to improve their life and their career. To find out more about The Success Alliance’s Masterminds groups keep reading.
The Success Alliance
The Success Alliance is a company founded by Karyn Greenstreet with the sole purpose of enabling others to conduct Masterminds groups across the country. Greenstreet does this by providing Masterminds facilitator training courses and resources as part of the Synergy program on the Success Alliance website. This is similar to training provided by Stephen Covey. If you would like to learn how to form a Mastermind group and facilitate these types of gatherings, Karyn Greenstreet at The Success Alliance can help you do just that.
The Masterminds groups organized by The Success Alliance are based off a concept first introduced by Napoleon Hill in the 1920s called the “master mind alliance.” This concept emphasizes the importance of harmonious collaboration towards a shared purpose. If you need help with best practices for hiring, for example, working with a team to develop a solution will help you reach a better solution quicker. Hill believed that when two minds came together, a third force was created that could be called a third mind – the master mind. Thus, these Mastermind groups get together to make the third mind a reality, giving way to new ideas and techniques for improvement.
Mega Masterminds Groups
Mega Masterminds groups are huge gatherings of individuals coming together to collaborate and brainstorm to solve problems, devise solutions and develop new ideas with the added bonus of group accountability. These individuals include representatives from all different fields from business owners to talent managers. During the mega sessions, individuals are called to a hot seat to discuss challenges they may currently be facing. Then, the group brainstorms together to devise a solution and relate their own similar experiences. These mega Mastermind events are a wonderful place to solve problems in a collaborative environment, offering the best possible solutions.
What You Can Gain
What can an ordinary individual gain from attending a Masterminds gathering? No matter who you are or what job title you posses, there are certainly some difficulties you encounter in life and work. These collaboration groups allow you the ability to hear many suggestions for solutions and improvements at one time. These suggestions can help you create the best possible course of action to deal with any issues you may be experiencing, like how to protect yourself when doing aggressive investing activities, for example. Sometimes it is also nice to attend a group just to surround yourself with like-minded people who are passionate about improving their lives. If you have any problems you need help solving, a Mastermind gathering can help you do just that.
Not To Be Confused
Masterminds groups are not the only Masterminds that can improve your business. Masterminds Agency is an advertising agency that can definitely help in that area as well. The Masterminds ad agency is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, they are known best for their rebranding of MS Gulf Coast Tourism. Their work with Mississippi tourism was incredible. If you want to consider another Masterminds group that will help improve business, visit the Masterminds Agency website.
Masterminds is a title given to many things including movies, comic books and more. However, if you are interested in developing solutions to problems in a collaborative environment, there is only one Mastermind that matters. Hint, it is not the best knowledge base software. The Masterminds group events put on by The Success Alliance provide a place for like-minded individuals to work together to fix problems, develop new ideas and form personal and professionals relationships that will last a lifetime. If this sounds like a Masterminds that you can get behind, visit The Success Alliance to find a group near you.

DySCAS is a dynamically self-configuring middleware for automotive control systems. The addition of autonomic, context-aware dynamic configuration to automotive control systems brings a potential for a wide range of benefits in terms of robustness, flexibility, upgrading etc. However, the automotive systems represent a particularly challenging domain for the deployment of autonomics concepts, having a combination of real-time performance constraints, severe resource limitations, safety-critical aspects and cost pressures. For these reasons current systems are statically configured. This paper describes the dynamic run-time configuration aspects of DySCAS and focuses on the extent to which context-aware adaptation has been achieved in DySCAS, and the ways in which the various design and implementation challenges are met.

Amy Schumer usually makes us laugh, but she gets candid about a number of serious topics, including an abusive relationship, in her new memoir, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo. She knows we think this can’t happen to us—we’re strong and independent. Schumer felt the same way, but she has a message for everyone: “It can happen to anyone. You’re not alone if it’s happening to you, and you’re not exempt if it hasn’t happened to you yet.”
In an excerpt originally published on E! Online, Schumer describes this chilling time in her life. Her story reminds us that relationship abuse is complicated and confusing, which makes it so difficult to break the cycle:
It proceeded to get worse and worse, and I started escaping the apartment whenever I could. I’d go to Starbucks, lock myself in the bathroom, and sit on the floor and cry. I knew I should go back to the East Coast, but I thought no one would ever love me as much as he did. I believed he was just as passionate about me as I was about him, and that if I did a better job of not making him mad, we’d be fine. I really felt he loved me. And I really loved him.
I think somewhere in the course of our relationship, I started to confuse his anger and aggression for passion and love. I actually started to think that real love was supposed to look like that. The more you yelled at each other, the more you loved each other. The more physical an demeaning it got, the more you were really getting through to each other. And the more I was willing to stand by him, the more he’d understand I truly loved him and that we should be together forever.

Verizon and Sprint users have long wished for a version of RIM's stellar BlackBerry Pearl. Now they've finally got itand it was definitely worth the wait. The BlackBerry Pearl 8130 offers built-in GPS and broadband 3G data speeds over EV-DO, neither of which is available on the AT&T and T-Mobile 8100 models. The 8130 also comes with lots of other new features, such as an upgraded 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSDHC-compatible card slot, and a video capture mode. In addition, the 8130 retains all the traits that made the original 8100 series a success, including its svelte and attractive design, SureType keyboard, backlit trackball, and solid voice quality. For this review, I tested both the Sprint and Verizon versions. There are a few differences, which I'll outline below, but both handsets are top-notch buys.

Carsix ist eine French commune with 245 inhabitants in the region Haute-Normandie. Nowadays it’s best known in the area for the gigantic hardware store in the hamlet of Malbrouck. Markets have most likely been held at that place since Gallo-Roman times (52BC to 486AD).
The village has been mentioned for the first time in 1180. At that time the name was Caresis.
Marie de Carsi(x) lived in the late 13th early 14th century. She was the daughter of Picard, seigneur of Carsix, who died early. Marie was sent to the court after the death of her father. She met Guccius Miri, married him and got a baby around the same time like the queen Clementia of Hungary. Therefore she became the nourrice of John the Posthumous (15 November 1316 – 20 November 1316), who only lived for 5 days. There’s a problem with dead princes, they never seem to be really dead. Maurice Druon wrote 6 novels about The Accursed Kings in 1966. The kings he calls accursed were the last 5 Capetian kings from Philip IV of France to John II.. Father of John the Posthumous was Louis the Quarreler (4 October 1289 – 5 June 1316). Seems like everybody died young in those times. Marie de Carsi has a very nice role in the books of Druon. He calls her Marie de Cressay and describes her as a very loyal person. Because it was known, that John the Posthumous might be killed (the normal reason for the short life span of those kings), she exchanged the little king with her own son. And when her son was killed at the place of John the Posthumous, she raised the little king as her own child. That sounds so great it must be true? There might be a small chance it was like this. We will never know. It’s funny that a man who claimed to be John the Posthumous showed up at the times of John II of France (1319 –1364).
In Carsix life went on. At the end of the 14th century the seigneurs of Thibouville owned the village. In 1560 Pierre II du Fay, vicomte de Pont-Audemer got both, Thibouville and Carsix. In the 17th century the Carsix-du-Fays even got their own family branch. The village belonged to them until the French Revolution (1789–1799) and they kept the castle until the begin of the 20th century.
In the Second World War (1939–1945) the Germans occupied the village and used the castle as headquarters. After the flight of the Germans the castle was used as military hospital and dead soldiers were buried in its park.
Pierre-Georges du Fay has built the castle of Carsix in 1741 on the foundation of an older building. Pierre-Georges’ son Pierre-Philippe has built a chapel. The castle has two side wings. The façade consists of red brick and white stone.
Georges du Fay, and I got to say it again, I wish they had been more creative concerning first names, married in 1900 and moved to the Basse-Normandie. He sold the castle.
After the Second World War the castle was abandoned and parts were destroyed by mould. When a private company bought the castle in 1966, only one of the Louis-quinze rooms had been intact. The castle has been restored afterwards.
Carsix has 31 timber-framed houses and farms that were built in the 17th to 19th century.
Patron saint of the Roman-Catholic church Saint-Martin is Martin of Tours. The nave was built in the 12th century, the choir was rebuilt in the 14th century, church tower and roof of the nave have been restored in the 16th century. The whole church was restored in the 19th century.

Federal Definition of the Credit Hour
The Federal definition states that "A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally-established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than:
- One hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks;
- Or at least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other activities as established by an institution, including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work and other academic work leading toward the awarding of credit hours."
College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University Credit Hour Policy
A semester contains 14.5 weeks of classes plus a 3-day final exam period.
Each undergraduate, full (four-credit) course includes, at a minimum, the equivalent of 120 instructional hours. Students are expected to devote a minimum of 2 hours outside of class time for every hour in class. Some courses carry additional lab or discussion sessions.
Each graduate, full (three-credit) course includes, at a minimum, the equivalent of 80 instructional hours. Students are expected to devote a minimum of 2 hours outside of class time for every hour in class.
These basic measures may be adjusted proportionately to reflect a modified academic calendar and/or format of study.
Credit hours are granted for various types of instruction as follows:
- Individual Learning Project (ILP)
Independent Studies require a minimum of 40 hours of coursework for each credit awarded, yet have no set meeting dates/times. The learning objectives and academic requirements for these courses are established between individual faculty and individual students, and have specific academic outcomes defined before the course work begins.
For additional information, visit ILP Guidelines.
- Experiential Learning
Experiential learning requires a minimum of 40 hours for each credit awarded, yet have no set meeting dates/times. The learning objectives and academic requirements for these courses are
established between individual faculty and individual students before the course work begins. The expectation is that students earn credits based on the number of hours required on-site.
For additional information, visit Registering for Internship Credit.
Registering for Internship Credit.
- Credits Earned Elsewhere
Credit for published examinations applies to the following test series, provided the specified minimum performance levels are met:
Students may demonstrate that through previous experience or study on their own they possess the knowledge, skills and competencies normally obtained by attending a certain class. This demonstration may allow students to be exempted without credit from a course so that they may enroll in a higher level course. When appropriate, they may receive credit for the course. Students may consult with the chair of the department in which the course is offered to determine whether an appropriate examination may be arranged.
Credit hours may be earned in shortened academic sessions (part of term courses, summer sessions, etc.) proportionately to those earned for the same activity during a full term of the institutions. Calculation of credit hours awarded for shortened sessions are verified though the course approval or revision process.
Oversight and Compliance
This credit hour policy applies to all courses that award academic credit at the undergraduate or graduate level. The Academic Curriculum Committee (ACC) reviews and approves new courses for the undergraduate program and the Graduate Theological Studies Committee approves new courses for the graduate School of Theology. Compliance with the credit hour policy is evaluated in their review and approval of all courses. The determination of credit hours is made when a new course or a revision to an existing course is proposed. The submitted syllabus is examined for contact time, as well as for learning outcomes, assignments, and evaluation of student learning.

I have always loved the water. I joined the Spartan Sharks when I
was seven years old and continued my swimming career at McFarland
High School and the University of Wisconsin Green Bay. I have held
various MSS and high school team records, as well as qualifying for
Junior Nationals in 1999.
For 13 years, I coached McFarland High School Spartan swim teams,
leading the HS Boys to six consecutive state titles and one state
runner-up in 13 seasons, and two HS Girls state runners-up in six
seasons. I have had the pleasure of coaching numerous state
champions, record holders, and All Americans. One of my greatest
honors was being named WISCA Boys Coach of the Year five times
(2008-2012), and WISCA Girls Coach of the Year (2016).
I have worked with the Spartan Sharks since 2005, training swimmers
of all levels, including numerous state, zone, Junior National, and
Olympic Trial qualifiers.
My favorite part of coaching is developing lasting relationships
with swimmers and celebrating their successes, whether
participating in their first meet or qualifying for national-level
competitions, and everything in between.

I love watching swimmers have fun, build confidence, and improve throughout their seasons and swimming careers. Some highlights throughout my coaching career include being chosen as a 2015 Wisconsin Zone Coach, working with multiple state champions (club and high school), and winning Wisconsin State Championships at the club and high school level.
Outside of the pool, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, playing music, and anything that has to do with Star Wars!

I love working with first-time athletes
of any age or ability. I've played and coached sports successfully
at many levels (rec, club, HS and D1 college).
My goal when working with Minis and Kickers is to help swimmers
discover a love for swimming based on: becoming
comfortable in the
confident in their
skills and discovering the
courage to try new things. My
goal as a Dryland coach is to create the best swimming athlete
possible. We work on many things including: body awareness,
connectivity, balance and explosiveness.
Education/experience: I build teams and develop
character. I'm a certified ACE Group Fitness Instructor

I bring many years of swimming experience to the Sharks team as I swam on several club teams from early childhood and continued to swim as on my high school team. For the past few years I have been swimming on the McFarland Master’s team with Stu Schaefer and Sara Landolt as well. Swimming has been an important part of my life and I have really enjoyed watching my own children learn to love swimming as well. As a coach to the minis and kickers I’m looking forward to helping our young athletes develop their swimming skills, grow in their confidence, how to have fun, and be great teammates!

Eric, this is a really fantastic work. You are right, the cherries do pop right out at you! I love the background that has a smoky quality to it. Great pick for your Best of 10! I sincerely wish you a great 2011, 12, 13. But most of all each day - one at a time!
The shot does almost look three-dimensional! It was a great choice for your best/favorite photo. I've enjoyed getting to know you through your photography this year, Eric - and I hope 2011 will be a happy and healthy one for all of us!

so it seems like i’m on a roll with eye palettes lately. this is the second one i’ve picked up that’s become an instant favorite! the flaws are very few and the range of colors are my personal favorite combinations. even more unusual for me, the pinks in this palette are ones that both visually appeal to me and actually work with my skintones!
let’s go over the flaws first, as that’s a short list. first off, it’s all shimmer, no mattes. this is actually not a huge problem for me as i love my shimmers and the only time i want a matte color is for my brow highlight. i don’t mind digging out a matte single to pair with this palette. however, if you like your palettes to be able to stand on their own, this may not be the one for you unless you don’t mind a shimmery brow bone. second, the pigmentation to the white shade is a little weak. it’s visible, but it goes on a bit sheer. last, the vibrancy of the purple shade is not as good as the rest of the colors and sheers out when blending, so you’ll want to do a little bit of layering. the quality of the rest of the shadows are typical Lorac quality. the shadows are buttery and blend out easily. i didn’t experience much, if any, fall out (except with the It Cosmetics brushes i was testing)
Lorac didn’t see fit to name these shades (i hate that). the two shades furthest to the left are the bigger highlighter shades from the bottom of the palette. the colors are as follows:
- White Highlight
- Pink Highlight
- Light Peach with golden tones
- Light Pink. what this looks like depends on your lighting. i’ve seen it go from a cool frosty pink to a more mute pink with beige tones.
- Brown. this is a medium dark shade that’s not too warm.
- Dark Pink. this is a more intense pink that’s sparklier and has a bit of brown in it, lending it a warmer tone.
- Purple. upon first application, this is a satisfying shade of cool toned purple. sadly, it’s not as pigmented as other shades and has a tendency to sheer out when blended. it is a serviceable shade though.
- Sage Green. of course, no favorite palette of mine can be without a green. the shade they’ve chosen here works well both as a single color smokey look or as a crease/outer v color for the lighter colors, for a natural day look.
- Turquoise. a bright medium shade turquoise.
- Hunter Green. this is a dark smokey hunter green with green sparkles running through it.
now let’s see it in action!
overall, i really love this palette. i can create the rosy neutral looks that i’ve always lusted over in Urban Decay’s Naked 3 palette. i have colorful pops of color. there are two fairly neutral greens, which is my favorite way of creating a neutral look. the only thing i would change about it is switching out that white highlighter for a matte highlighter shade. it’s small and compact but has a good size mirror. the mirror has a stiff hinge, so you can angle it however you need. this might be my favorite travel palette to date. all i’d need is to pack a matte single for highlight, and i’m set for shadows. it’s a palette i constantly reach for. i like how the shadows work well together in different combinations or how most shades can double as an all over shade if i just want a quick look. for just $24, this palette may be the best bargain in my stash!
Readers, what do you think of Lorac’s Party Palette? how do you like to wear your favorite neutral look?

[Written about 1869.]
It is seldom pleasant to tell on oneself, but some times it is a sort of relief to a man to make a confession. I wish to unburden my mind now, and yet I almost believe that I am moved to do it more because I long to bring censure upon another man than because I desire to pour balm upon my wounded heart. (I don't know what balm is, but I believe it is the correct expression to use in this connection--never having seen any balm.) You may remember that I lectured in Newark lately for the young gentlemen of the-----Society? I did at any rate. During the afternoon of that day I was talking with one of the young gentlemen just referred to, and he said he had an uncle who, from some cause or other, seemed to have grown permanently bereft of all emotion. And with tears in his eyes, this young man said, "Oh, if I could only see him laugh once more! Oh, if I could only see him weep!" I was touched. I could never withstand distress.
I said: "Bring him to my lecture. I'll start him for you."
"Oh, if you could but do it! If you could but do it, all our family would bless you for evermore--for he is so very dear to us. Oh, my benefactor, can you make him laugh? can you bring soothing tears to those parched orbs?"
I was profoundly moved. I said: "My son, bring the old party round. I have got some jokes in that lecture that will make him laugh if there is any laugh in him; and if they miss fire, I have got some others that will make him cry or kill him, one or the other." Then the young man blessed me, and wept on my neck, and went after his uncle. He placed him in full view, in the second row of benches, that night, and I began on him. I tried him with mild jokes, then with severe ones; I dosed him with bad jokes and riddled him with good ones; I fired old stale jokes into him, and peppered him fore and aft with red-hot new ones; I warmed up to my work, and assaulted him on the right and left, in front and behind; I fumed and sweated and charged and ranted till I was hoarse and sick and frantic and furious; but I never moved him once--I never started a smile or a tear! Never a ghost of a smile, and never a suspicion of moisture! I was astounded. I closed the lecture at last with one despairing shriek--with one wild burst of humor, and hurled a joke of supernatural atrocity full at him!
Then I sat down bewildered and exhausted.
The president of the society came up and bathed my head with cold water, and said: "What made you carry on so toward the last?"
I said: "I was trying to make that confounded old fool laugh, in the second row."
And he said: "Well, you were wasting your time, because he is deaf and dumb, and as blind as a badger!"
Now, was that any way for that old man's nephew to impose on a stranger and orphan like me? I ask you as a man and brother, if that was any way for him to do?

Counting the cost
It seems otiose to record with any more emphasis than all the others, that another death has occurred – according to the Sunday Mirror - in a Jackal, this one an as yet unnamed soldier from 40th Regiment Royal Artillery.
The death, again from an IED, occurred yesterday in the Lashkar Gah district and we know little more, other than two other soldiers were also injured in the incident. This brings the total British service personnel killed in Afghanistan to 189, of which KIAs amount to 158.
Eleven soldiers have now been killed in a Jackal, with an estimated 53 killed in five types of vehicle, which also include the Wimik, Viking, Vector and Snatch Land Rover.
What makes the vehicle deaths different, if not special, is that – to a certain extent within technical limits – these are preventable. By using the Mastiff as a comparator, in which there have been no deaths, we can aver that if the range of vehicles in which deaths have occurred had been protected to a similar level, then all these soldiers could still be alive.
As such, "preventable" deaths take on a special significance, which marks out the toll extracted by the Taleban in this category. That is not to say that other deaths were not preventable, and perhaps by different technical means, such as persistent video surveillance of routes frequented by food patrols, to warn of possible IEDs. However, vehicles present a relatively more clear-cut issue, which tends to focus concern on them.
What must also feature in the vehicle category, as well as the human cost, is the financial burden, partly identified by the Independent on Sunday yesterday.
This paper recorded that there had been a steep increase in claims to the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS), which covers injury, illness and death caused by service since 6 April 2005. The value of lump-sum settlements of claims settled under the scheme has risen from £1.27m in its first year of operation to £30.2m last year. But the awards also come with ongoing "guaranteed income payments" costing more than £100m.
MoD figures show that at least 218 soldiers have suffered "life-changing injuries" since April 2006 alone – and more than 50 personnel have undergone amputations following injuries.
The latest MoD analysis shows that, of 53 personnel who were seriously injured in Afghanistan in 2006 and 2007, 41 made claims to the AFCS. Only one of the 23 personnel very seriously injured (VSI) in Afghanistan during 2007 failed to make a compensation claim. The MoD has reported 214 casualties, including VSIs, during Operation Herrick since 2001.
The casualties contribute to an MoD benefits bill which shows spending of more than £1bn a year on war pensions to veterans or their families. The bereaved partner of a member of the armed forces killed in action is entitled to a pension averaging £100 a week.
To these costs must, in the case of a vehicle incident, be added the value of the vehicles, many of which are total write-offs, costing upwards of £700,000. Then there are evacuation and medical costs, and then the cost of replacing the casualties. This week it was announced that 125 extra troops were to be flown out to theatre to replace losses.
No single – even if notional – figure has been calculated to represent the average loss incurred when a British soldier is killed in action, but a US study indicated that the death of a four-man crew of an up-armoured Humvee cost the US taxpayer some $25 million. On this basis alone – irrespective of the human cost – it makes sense to provide a high level of protection for mounted troops.
The Jackal, being a relatively new vehicle in theatre should be up to the challenges posed by Taleban weapons but, clearly, it is not.
That the families should have to bear the burden of the loss, that precious lives should be cut short and that so many soldiers are seriously injured is bad enough but, when the taxpayer also has to pay serious amounts of money as well, this adds further weight to the call for better vehicles.
Unfortunately, if money was the solution to better protection, the increasing costs of vehicles would assure us a reduction on the casualty rate, but in the British inventory, expense cannot be equate with protection, when one of the most fragile is the Viking at £700,000 with the Jackal 2s working out at over £400,000 each.
One would hope that, with a cash-strapped government, therefore, if it is not moved by humanitarian concerns alone, hard-edged economics might take a hand leading the financial analysts to conclude that we simply cannot afford this attrition.

Hey there, thanks for stopping by to read my NovaTech Review!
This is a fairly new company and a few people in the crypto space approached me with the opportunity.
I told them it’s very rare for me to join a startup but I’d have no problem giving a review.
So today I’ll be going over the company, products (if any exist) and the NovaTech compensation plan.
You ready to get the most in depth review on the net? Let’s Go!
First lets talk about the NovaTech website and what we found.
There is no information about who owns or runs NovaTech.
NovaTech LTD is listed as the owner and it appears to be located in Vatican City (Most likely a bogus incomplete address).
I’ve mentioned before this is personal preference some people don’t care.
In my own personal opinion companies that aren’t completely transparent are usually hiding themselves for a reason.
What I can tell you is their website “novatechfx.io” was registered June 17th, 2019.
NovaTech claims they are registered for business in the USA, British Virgin Island and Estonia from what it looks like.
The website itself is mostly incomplete beside a blog “what is a trading bot” posted on July 19, 2019.
NovaTech Products – Do They Exist?
Quick answer to that is a big no.
My guess is there will never be a real product or service but you’ll have to check back to see.
You can sign up as an affiliate and market the affiliate membership itself.
- F2 Trading Review – Legit or Scam?
- Crowd1 Review – Legit or Scam?
- Crypto Advice Review – Legit or Scam?
NovaTech’s Compensation Plan
As of right now NovaTech is very vague on how much of an ROI an affiliate can earn.
We do know there are five levels an affiliate can invest into.
NovaTech does talk about VIP members earning an additional 1% per month but that’s going to cost $25k or more for that perk.
Here they are:
Withdrawal fees for investment tiers:
NovaTech Affiliate Ranks – Five Total
One thing I do want to mention.
Up to the Executive level no more then 50% of required downline investment volume can come from any one unilevel leg.
As a Senior, Director or Ambassador it drops to 40%.
NovaTech pays out commissions for bringing in new people.
They also have a fast start bonus in place.
Here is what you can earn for recruiting:
Fast start bonus is extra.
As an affiliate if you recruit three Bronze within 45 days you earn an extra $100 in fast start bonus.
As an affiliate if you recruit five Silver within 45 days you earn and extra $200 in fast start bonus.
ROI Matching Bonus
The matching bonus pays out on a unilevel structure.
Unilevel is pretty easy to understand.
You sponsor as many people as you like and they are placed on your first level.
If any of your first level member sponsor someone they would fall on your second level.
This process duplicates downward.
The ROI Match Bonus pays out on a total of five levels.
Here are the payout percentages:
NovaTech Rank Bonus
For affiliate achieving the Junior Exec level and higher they can get even more bonuses.
NovaTech Profit Sharing
The company claims they are going to take 10% of company-wide investment volume and place it into three separate profit sharing pools.
If you are Senior Exec or higher you can take part in this profit sharing.
Here are the payout percentages:
NOTE: The profit sharing is paid out quarterly (4 times per year).
Cost To Join NovaTech
NovaTech is a bit pricy to join and get going.
Members have to pay a $35 dollar monthly fee and it’s a $500 minimum investment.
VIP tier investments ($25k and higher) come with an initial $250 fee.
From what I can tell NovaTech will have a $250 annual fee for all members payable after the first full year.
NovaTech Legit or Scam
With this company it’s very early.
That being said I’ll be the first to say there are most definitely red flags with NovaTech.
For one they talk about a “trading bot” but I’m still waiting for ONE of these companies to deliver on that promise.
Without proof or some sort of evidence I have zero belief in any company that talks about an ROI or these profit producing bots.
So far all crypto mlm roi bot companies are batting 100% in the scam department.
It’s sucks I have to say that but it’s my job to be transparent.
NovaTech supposedly is trading in Forex and Crypto which is really cool.
I’m a huge fan of both Forex and Crypto BUT how exactly are they making profit in them?
From what I can see at this moment in time NovaTech is using newly invested funds to pay off existing investors.
That is a Ponzi.
Now I don’t want to be that guy calling out scam but right now it’s not looking good.
It’s early and just maybe NovaTech is going to deliver on some super bot or trading system that’s going to earn millions in profit.
But I won’t believe it until I see proof of this and until then it’s looking like a classic Ponzi.
While I can’t speak for the British Virgin Island and Estonia what I can tell you with confidence and state it as a fact.
NovaTech is not registered with the SEC.
Basically they are selling a security and means they would be operating illegally in the USA.
By mere coincidence it is funny there is actually a NovaTech registered with the SEC but that is a company selling cleaning products.
I’m fairly certain that is not the NovaTech we are talking about here.
As far as Estonia goes it’s quite possible they are registered some place in that country.
They aren’t known for cracking down on MLM companies.
People love running VPNs out of Estonia because basically nothing gets shut down there.
Guess what I’m trying to say even if they were registered in BVI or Estonia it’s not saying much and gives very little credibility if any.
For now I’m just going to say this.
Be careful if you plan on joining NovaTech.
Companies like NovaTech come with a lot of risk and you can lose your money easily.
Most if not all companies that operate like NovaTech purely make money off of recruiting.
When the hype goes away and the recruitment stops the company will eventually collapse and disappear with your investment.
Hope you enjoy my NovaTech Review if you have any comments, questions or concerns feel free to leave in the comment section below.
Ready To Take Your Business To The Next Level?
Whether you plan on joining NovaTech or not I want to mention something important.
I’m guessing you’re weighing your options and want to make steady income online correct?
If you are struggling let me help you get the success you deserve.
I have a proven system I have been using for years and it’s completely friendly for the new person.
Working online is not as easy as everyone says it is.
I know this because it took me YEARS before I finally figured it all out.
Would you like to see a proven system that almost guarantees your success?
Of course you need to be teachable and work some because I don’t promote Ponzi’s.

Series: Songs of Corruption #1
Published on March 10, 2014 Genres: Adult Suspense, Dark, Erotic Romance, Romance, Romantic Suspense
***You do NOT need to read Songs of Submission to read Spin***
Mafia capo, Antonio Spinelli blew through my orderly life like a cyclone.
Gorgeous and passionate, with a breathtaking brutality, he put me under his spell the moment he touched me, drawing me into his underworld of risk, violence and betrayal.
And I found, just as this sophisticated savage didn’t trust me, I didn’t trust myself. Something happened to me. Some alchemy from the heat between us.
I discovered I was a savage, too.
“You need a man,” she said. “A rebound cock to fuck the sad right out of you.”
Spin is a spin off (ha-ha) series by CD Reiss, but you do not need to read the original series Songs of Submission. Each series is about a different sibling, so we see Jonathan Drazen from Songs very briefly in this book. Spin is Theresa Drazen’s story.
Theresa dated a politician for years. Until he fucked his speechwriter. Being the good girl that she is, she hasn’t publicly castrated him. Though broken up, she attends events with him, lending her support to his campaign. She’s torn about taking him back, until Antonio Spinelli blows into her life. Antonio has an impressive cock. But is he rebound cock or something more cock? He’s all wrong for her. All. Wrong. Theresa is an heiress. Antonio is a lawyer… with mob ties.
Yet, Antonio makes an impression. Early on in the book the simplest line made me grin from ear to ear. “I think I made a bad impression in the parking lot.” There’s just something about this guy. Book boyfriend material that puts butterflies in your stomach and a smirk on your face.
Spin is more crime mystery than I normally read, but Antonio was dreamy enough to make this an alpha romance novel for me. You might also like to know that Spin is NOT a serial format like Songs of Submission. The author notes at the end that two more novels are planned for this series, yet I did not feel like Spin ended in a cliffhanger. Do I want to know more? Yes. But the way book 1 ends is almost a mini HEA so you’re not left hanging.
I’m not complaining either, Theresa.

MINISTER of Culture, Youth and Sports Major General (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Awang Haji Aminuddin Ihsan bin Pehin Orang Kaya Saiful Mulok Dato Seri Paduka Haji Abidin urged youth in the country to venture into entrepreneurship and not just wait to secure white collar jobs.
The minister made this remark when he officiated the opening of youth-led Bercuts Barbershop in Jerudong yesterday.
He observed that it is high time our youth learn entrepreneurship skills and start businesses that would create jobs for themselves and other youth.
“I urged more youth to contribute to the development of the country through various fields such as entrepreneurship. This will help create jobs for locals,” he said.

Two medical students on a bike killed after falling off Delhi’s Signature Bridge
The bikers were rushed to a nearby hospital but could not be saved.
Two medical students on a bike died on Friday after falling 30 feet off the Signature Bridge over the Yamuna in northwest Delhi, three weeks after the bridge was thrown open to public, police said.
“Two men were riding a KTM Duke bike towards Timarpur from northeast Delhi side. They were speeding and taking a turn towards Majnu Ka Tila when they lost control, the bike hit a road divider, and they fell 25-30 feet down from the bridge,” additional DCP Jasmeet Singh said
Both of them were rushed to a nearby hospital but could not be saved.
The victims were identified as Satya Vijay Shankaran and Chandrashekhar, both studying medicine at the Hindu Rao Medical College in north Delhi.
Though reports suggested the bikers may have been doing stunts, Singh said they have not found any eyewitness to verify whether the two were doing stunts or taking selfies.
The Signature bridge was inaugurated on November 4 and has seen a huge rush of visitors taking selfies, some of them even risking their lives by climbing on car tops and suspension cables to take pictures.

Divorce is a highly emotional event. It often brings out the worst in people and causes them to make stupid decisions. Many couples are on the same page when it comes to divorce. They both know they are unhappily married and are ready to move on.
However, in some marriages, one person wants to divorce, while the other does not. They are not on the same page when it comes to their feelings. One person wants to save the marriage, but the other person has already checked out emotionally. This can lead to a contentious divorce as the hurt spouse deals with their anger and bitterness.
This leads to contested divorces, which often drag on for many months or even years. The hurt spouse unleashes revenge on the other spouse to make them pay for ending their marriage. This also causes damage to any children involved, increasing their stress and anxiety levels.
Contested divorces rarely end on a good note. They are expensive, they take a long time to settle and they cause lasting emotional damage. That is why it is best to settle your divorce amicably, if at all possible, especially if children are involved.
Your divorce does not have to be nasty courtroom battle like the ones you may have seen on TV. You can opt for an uncontested divorce and move on in peace. An uncontested divorce means that you not only agree to the divorce but to all the issues involved, such as child support, child custody, asset division and alimony. When you opt for an uncontested divorce, you avoid going to court, which is a huge bonus. Having to explain everything to a judge can be nerve-wracking and cause even more stress during an already emotional event.
The good news is that 80% of divorces in the United States are uncontested. There is a good reason for that. Uncontested divorces offer many benefits. Here are some of them in more detail.
Divorce is expensive, primarily due to lawyer fees and court costs. The average divorce runs around $15,000, although if you choose the uncontested route, you could pay much less. If you and your spouse can agree on all the major aspects of your divorce, then you could avoid unnecessary costs. You still might need a mediator or even a lawyer to address complex financial issues, but if you opt for a friendly divorce, you will reap the savings.
A contested divorce can drag on for years. That is because the parties cannot come to an agreement on how to settle their divorce. If one person wants to contest everything, this will lead to delays. It will take much longer to finalize everything. In an uncontested divorce, the process moves much faster. An uncontested divorce can take just several months to finalize, whereas a contested one could potentially take several years. Therefore, you should choose an uncontested divorce if you want to end your marriage peacefully and move on more quickly.
Ending a marriage is stressful enough. Why would you want to contest everything and make the process even more stressful? Even though you will feel some hurt and frustration as you navigate your divorce, that is normal. Delaying the process will only cause more stress. So have a conversation with your spouse and let them know that you plan to end things as quickly as possible. Negotiating your divorce on your own will keep personal details private, since they will not be shared in court. This can be a relief if you are worried about disclosing personal information.
You do not want the stress of arguing over your marriage. However, that does not mean that you want to let your spouse take advantage of you. If he or she is trying to make things unfair for you, then you may want to get a lawyer or financial adviser involved to ensure your rights are protected.
You Control the Outcome
When you and your spouse agree to the terms of your divorce, you have the control. When the case becomes contested and you have to hash out the details in court, you lose that control. The judge makes the decisions, and you and your spouse may not like the outcome. The judge does not know your history, your wants and goals. They are making decisions based on what they hear in court and what the laws are in your state.
The only way to truly get what you want is to negotiate outside of court. This will require some compromise on your part, so don;t expect to get everything you want. However, by working with your spouse on the key issues, you have a much better chance of getting a favorable outcome.
Better Relationship With Your Ex
If you have no kids, then you may not care about having a better relationship with your ex-spouse, In fact, you may never even see them again once the divorce is finalized. However, if there are children involved, it is a good idea to stay on friendly terms. Your ex will still be a part of your life until the kids are grown, so try to avoid too much drama during the divorce process.
Seek Legal Help
While you may feel the need to seek revenge in a divorce, it is best to just go with the flow and try to settle things amicably. This method will be much cheaper, as it will prevent costly delays.

Having lived in Spain for the last eleven years, I kind of take a lot of things for granted, such as the joy of living in a hot country and getting to enjoy the most of outdoor life, almost every day.
And because I have only and always been a wedding celebrant in Spain, I guess the one thing that I take for granted, is the fact that nearly all of my wedding ceremonies take place outside. I’m talking 99% of my weddings. And I can’t tell you how incredible that is to get to have these experiences, because I need to tell myself this, more often. When you have had something so good for so long, you can sometimes forget what’s so special about it.
And there really is something so special and so magical about getting married outside, in the fresh air, amongst nature, that I really think it is something that needs paying a bit of attention to and looking at why, and for me on a personal vibe, to take a moment to appreciate how lucky I am to do what I do.
Outdoor ceremony magic
Firstly, can I just say, if you are reading this and your ceremony is going to be taking place indoors, this is not a slight on your choice of ceremony location or on ceremonies that happen inside. What this is, is a look at the beauty of getting married outside and what it can bring to a wedding ceremony.
The other day, I asked my celebrant colleagues in our Facebook group to share photos of their favourite ceremony spaces, and do you know what? Every single one of them posted photos of outdoor spaces. From the UK, to Australia, the USA and back to Europe, it was the au naturel spaces that ticked everyone’s boxes.
So this got me thinking, why?
Nothing beats nature
Even if you are not a lover of the great outdoors, you don’t spend your weekends hiking or never sit on a patch of mud tending to your vegetables, you have to admit that just stepping outside and taking in a lungful of fresh air, really does do you the world of good.
There are so many reasons why getting married outside takes ceremony magic to new levels. I don’t even think I can succinctly explain why it is, or how it happens, I just know it does.
You cannot beat the beauty of natural surroundings. From cliffside locations, hills, mountains, beaches, gardens, courtyards, meadows and woodlands, the world around us offers the most stunning natural decoration that you could wish for. Who needs decor when you’ve got a lake as your backdrop, or a blue sky that frames your ceremony area or wise old trees that surround you and create a magical space? This beauty, this earthiness is unbeatable.
And because of this natural, raw beauty something visceral is created during outdoor wedding ceremonies. Something really quite powerful, which you can’t quite put your finger on, but you can feel it and you know it’s there. Something about your connection to the earth, to nature, to your family and friends, all comes together in a natural, harmonious environment, which really does make the ceremony so emotionally powerful and energized. Now, I may be sounding a bit hippy-fied, like I’ve swallowed a ton of love drugs, but I’m telling you, it’s true. I’ve been there, I’ve experienced it. Nature in all its full glory, is so present for you on your wedding day, bringing to life everything in contact with it. You, your wedding party and all your emotions.
There is something very peaceful about being married outside, even when there is noise, or there are sounds. There is a lovely stillness and sense of tranquility, which really lends itself to getting married. Just being able to draw a huge breath of air, to calm the nerves, to ground yourself and to be still and present within the moment, is something you might not appreciate initially but you will probably find yourself doing so, without realising it.
Being outside for your wedding day, really does promote a sense of freeness, as sense of freedom from restraints, which is all anyone wants to feel on their wedding day. No-one wants to feel stifled or claustrophobic, just the complete opposite. Freedom to be oneself, to love how one wishes, freedom to make one’s own choices, to celebrate one’s love in their own way, and nature really does help create this idea of freedom. I swear that this sense of open-ness can allow people (you and your guests) to open up more and to be less inhibited with their feelings and emotions during the ceremony. It can allow the group’s communal spirit and love flow more easily because the setting encourages this. And this can have such a wonderful impact on the ceremony.
And even when nature does what nature wants, and maybe gives you rain when you rather it hadn’t or gives you too much sun when you wanted more shade, there is still so much to be joyful about and so much to appreciate, that later on, when you look back, any initial disappointment is soon forgotten.
When you remember that you got to spend this special moment, with your loved ones, surrounded by their love and surrounded by earth’s beautiful gifts, you really will be so thankful and so grateful that you got to celebrate your love in such a meaningful and special way.

This article delves into the world of local SIM cards, eSIMs, and other innovative solutions that are transforming the way we stay connected abroad.
Understanding Data Roaming Alternatives to Data Roaming
Data roaming refers to the use of mobile data services outside the geographical coverage area of your home network. While it provides seamless connectivity, it can often lead to high costs, making alternatives more appealing for frequent travelers.
Local SIM Cards: A Traditional Alternative
Local SIM cards have long been a popular alternative to data roaming. Here’s why:
- Cost-effective: Local SIM cards typically offer better value for money compared to roaming services.
- Easy to use: Once activated, local SIM cards provide immediate access to the local network.
- Availability: They are readily available at airports, convenience stores, and online.
Despite these advantages, local SIM cards have their drawbacks. They require an unlocked phone and can be inconvenient as they necessitate changing your number.
eSIMs: The Future of International Connectivity
eSIMs or embedded SIMs are a newer alternative that’s rapidly gaining traction. They offer several advantages over traditional SIM cards:
- No physical SIM required: eSIMs are built into the device, eliminating the need for a physical card.
- Convenience: Users can switch between networks without changing SIM cards.
- Multiple numbers: eSIMs allow users to have multiple numbers on one device.
A notable example of eSIM use is Google’s Project Fi, which automatically switches between networks for the best coverage. However, eSIMs are currently only supported by a limited number of devices.
Here are some indicative prepaid eSIM card prices:
Other Innovative Solutions Alternatives to Data Roaming
Apart from local SIMs and eSIMs, several other innovative solutions are emerging in the market:
International Data Pack
Some online stores offer international data packs that can be added to your regular plan for a certain period. These packs can be more cost-effective than standard roaming charges. Check out the Alertify store.
Portable Wi-Fi Devices
Portable Wi-Fi devices or ‘pocket Wi-Fi’ provide internet access wherever there’s cellular coverage. These devices can connect multiple gadgets at once and offer a reliable alternative to data roaming.
The landscape of international connectivity is rapidly evolving, with alternatives like local SIMs, eSIMs, international data packs, portable Wi-Fi devices, and data roaming apps offering travelers more affordable and convenient ways to stay connected. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more innovative solutions to emerge in this space, further democratizing global communication.

A FORMER Irish soldier who raped his oldest daughter and regularly abused his other daughter has been jailed for 10 years.
Jerry O’Keeffe, 69, pleaded guilty to three charges of rape, five of indecent assault and one of sexual assault out of a total of 78 original counts.
The sexual abuse began in January 1980 when his daughters Amy and Melissa were pre-adolescent children.
The last of the horrific abuse occurred in March 1987.
Both daughters waived their right to anonymity at the Central Criminal Court, which heard how one of them reported the abuse to Gardaí when she was 16 – before her parents put her under pressure to withdraw her statement.
The abuse was then reported to the Southern Health Board in 1999, after both sisters went to the Rape Crisis Centre.
However, no further action was taken after O'Keeffe agreed with an order to move out of the family home.
His oldest daughter Amy told reporters after his sentencing that she believes the HSE “could have done more” to help her in 1999 after she reported to the Rape Crisis Centre.
Cork native O’Keeffe remained in the army until 2004, a decade before the sisters again reported his sexual abuse to Gardaí three years ago.
Justice Patrick McCarthy said that O’Keeffe’s crimes brought about the “destruction” of his daughters’ childhoods.
“It is hard to find words to describe each new outrage inflicted on these children,” he said.
— RTÉ News (@rtenews) November 6, 2017
Amy Barrett told the judge she was just seven-years-old when the abuse began in 1980.
She said that her father would ask her to sit on his lap before sexually abusing her and taking her to his bedroom to rape her.
She added that she tried to get him to stop but was limited in what she could do due to her age.
Ms Barrett was raped on a regular basis until she was 12-years-old in 1985.
Justice McCarthy was then told how, after the abuse stopped against Amy, Mr O’Keeffe began indecently assaulting youngest daughter Melissa when she was just 11.
The abuse lasted for six years and would usually happen at night, when O’Keeffe returned from the pub.
Speaking after their father was sentenced to 10 years in prison, Amy Barrett and Melissa O’Keeffe said they it was “never about the sentence” for them.
“It puts out the message that the abuse and rape of a child is never right,” Ms Barrett said.
“And it doesn’t matter how long it takes a victim to come forward – it’s never too late.
“We’re happy, but we’re sad at the same time because he’s still our dad.
“It’s almost like we’re going to be in mourning for him now. My plan is to put it all behind me and get on with the rest of my life.”
She added: “It will never leave you, but you just do the best you can.”
