Finally, things are getting back to normal around here. We still don’t have a furnace, but we did install a wood burning stove over the weekend to supplement the fireplace in the main part of the house. Also, the weather is cooperating so it has been much warmer lately! It’s supposed to be close to 60 degrees today.
So, I finally have a new progress photo to post! This is the 36 inch square canvas I am currently working on. I have set it aside for now to decide whether or not I will be adding more. Not sure yet. It’s hard to see all the details in a photo this small, especially when the original is so large. What do you think? Is it done? This painting is going to be the center piece for my show in Gallup in March.
I have been busy painting little paper mache heart boxes for Valentines day. I will have them in my etsy shop by the end of the day. Also today, I will be posting many of my older originals at special prices. I need sales to make the money for the new furnace (the estimates start coming in today). So now is a great time to get some of my originals for great prices!
Also, the Beck prints are still buy one, get one free until February 15th. See the clearance section in my Etsy shop.

If you want to do a gallery wall the first step would be to lay all your pictures out on the floor to get an idea of how they fit together best.
Take note of the spaces between each picture - too much space and the collection feels disconnected, not enough space and it feels smooshed together. I find it's best to take a photo of the dry run on the floor once it's all done to use as a reference when hanging. It's easy to get carried away and forget how much space is needed or which picture should go where.
This week I would like to share some tips on what size of art to look for and where to hang it. This is something I get asked about quite often.
First and foremost you have to consider scale and proportion. If the art is too small it looks like an awkward little polka dot, if it's too big it will overwhelm your furniture and your space. A guideline to follow is to look for 1 piece or a combination of pieces that will be about 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of the furniture piece it will hang over and about 2/3 of the height of the space of where it will go.
Bonus tip: Using all of the same hangers in your closet helps to make the space look more organized and unified. All your clothes will hang the same and having all the same color hangers reduces the visual clutter.
If you plan to have a formal dinner this Christmas, below is a graphic that shows where each piece of a place setting is to be placed. Of course if you are not serving one of the courses, seafood for example, then you could omit the pieces associated with it.
Fancy folded napkins can be that little extra added touch to any place setting. I found thatMarthastewart.comhas many fabulous ways to fold a napkin. Below are a few ideas to get your creativity rolling. A pine sprig or poinsettia bloom in the pocket fold would look lovely on a Christmas dinner table.
A quick way to add some (more) sparkle to your holiday décor is to spray paint some pine cones. Natural pine cones are a fantastic add to any décor to bring in a touch of rustic and nature. If you would rather add some glam, then kick things up a notch with a can of spray paint!
I took these regular old pine cones that I collected in the fall and sprayed them with a metallic silver. Rustic to glam in under 5 minutes! Antique silver would also work very well on pine cones as it would add a shimmer without the harsh contrast of the silver.
We feel more comfortable in a space when it is properly lit. Most older homes do not have adequate lighting. It wasn’t until about the mid 1960’s that ceiling light fixtures in each room became more common. Nowadays it is rare to find a room that doesn’t have pot lights and / or a ceiling fixture.
In a perfect scenario every room would have 2 to 3 types of lighting; indirect, direct and task lighting. Indirect lighting is general light for the room, usually a ceiling fixture or pot lights, windows would also be considered a source of indirect light.
The size and location of a rug can make or break your room; wrong size or placement and your room feels awkward or disconnected, correct size and placement and your room feels cozy and inviting.
Selecting a rug that is too small will look disproportionate in your room, creating what I call the "polka dot effect".
Alternately, selecting a rug that is too large will dwarf your furniture.
Below are some examples of proper size and placement for area rugs in your dining room, bedroom and living room.
It is so exciting when a property we’ve had the opportunity to work on is SOLD on the very first day of showings for over the asking price. This just goes to show how much staging can help.
These clients contacted us within a few days of deciding they were going to put their house on the market. They were very eager for a quick and profitable sale and they were very willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. Many recommendations were made during the consultation.
Is White even a color? This is a much debated topic. Depending on who you talk to you will get different answers. One prominent theory is that pure white is the absence of color because you cannot mix any colors to make pure white; therefore it is not a color. Another theory suggests that white is a color because it reflects all colors back to the eye. Whatever side of the fence you find yourself on, every home can benefit from the addition of white to help highlight or brighten certain areas.
6-8 inches from the top of the sofa.
2. When hanging above a console table: the bottom of the art shouldn't be more then 10-12 inches from the table.
3. When hanging in a hallway or where it will be mostly viewed standing up: the centre of the art should be eye level.

Candy is an international brand. And provides an entire range of free-standing and built-in washing machines with some of the most advanced technology. The Candy Grando, for instance, has been developed to meet all laundry needs. Featuring a 9kg drum capacity, automatically adjust settings and special drum action for a deep clean.
If your appliance detects a fault it will display an error number on the digital display. Or it will flash a number of times to coincide with the error fault number. For example, An E01 error code, or a single flashing light indicates an issue with the door lock or could be a defective wiring connection.
Error 02, or two flashes indicates the machine has problems filling with water. This could be due to water pressure, or Candy washing machine filter problems. Error 03 or three flashes is related to the appliance not emptying quickly enough. This could be down to outlet hose problems or the drain filter.
Checks need to be carried out by a qualified electrician on the power supply, fuses, and trip switches. Door closure may be a factor, as could the programme or the plumbing.
This could be a reset failure, failure to complete a programme, or an issue with door opening waiting time. If water is still in the drum this will prevent the door from opening.
There are a number of reasons why this may happen including a loose inlet hose that may need tightening. The waste pipe may be blocked and will need a plumber to remove the obstruction. The door seal may be worn. Or the detergent drawer may be clogged. And there may be an issue with the filter cover, or the filter itself.
Water remaining in the drum can cause this. Water not draining away needs to be dealt with by a trained technician. Incorrect control options or settings can also affect the spin cycle. An unbalanced load in a machine fitted with an electronic sensor can also stop the machine from spinning.
A transit bar that is still in place may be the culprit here. Any polystyrene blocks used for packaging need to be removed. An unbalanced load will cause noise and vibration. As will a blocked filter. If loose coins or other foreign objects are in the drum itself this can cause rattling as well as damage.
This is often an issue with the outlet pipe which may need re-aligning by a qualified plumber.
When certain programmes are selected the machine will stop during the rinse cycle. This suspends the clothes in water before the final spin and is related to the Fast Iron cycle. If that light is flashing this indicates the machine needs to complete the final spin and pump the water out. If in doubt ask the Candy washing machine specialists.
Get Candy washing machine repair London experts to diagnose and fix many problems. You’ll be able to make an appointment to suit you. And get a fully insured service that comes with a quality guarantee that lasts for six months. Only specially trained engineers will carry out repairs. And your Candy washing machine will soon be as new.

The business of raw and cooked foods require rigorous implementation of food safety processes and necessitates a much more in-depth monitoring and recording process.
One restaurant that knows the importance of being able to easily identify where food safety risks are likely to occur is De Palo’s who recently installed a revolutionary wireless temperature monitoring system that not only assists in ensuring the quality of stock is maintained 24/7, but also assists in meeting strict restaurant HACCP compliance requirements.
De Palo’s Cucina Italiana received the Tripadvisor 2015 certificate of excellence and offers customers authentic Italian cuisine with 5-star service just off Ludgate Circus in the heart of London.
And with thousands of pounds worth of top quality stock stored within the restaurant, maintaining optimum temperatures in and out of working hours is critical to assisting in early detection of refrigeration failure and ultimately eliminating wasted produce. Additional benefits to operating a wireless monitoring systems is the elimination of manual checking with more accurate, efficient record-keeping for Restaurant HACCP compliance requirements.
“We used to operate a manual temperature checking process 2-3 times a day using thermometers, but my staffs’ time has been completely freed up by using this wireless system and I get a much clearer, more in-depth view of how my refrigeration equipment is coping in and out of working hours.
I was initially wary of installing a wireless system, as I am not the most technically minded person, but it was much easier than I had expected taking less than an hour of my time before it was up and running.” Daniele explains.
Real-time data collection provides access to immediate alarm notifications via the software, email or SMS and further critical data analysis 24/7 using cloud-based software, whenever and wherever required.
Since the system was fitted Daniele has quickly managed to identify and resolve issues with refrigeration equipment and performance long before failures or damage to stock can occur.
“The system has been invaluable. It’s exactly what we’ve needed and gives me the peace of mind I need in my equipment and quality of stock. I’ve only had it installed for a month and I already can’t be without it, I’d recommend it to anyone with a similar business.” Daniele concludes.
You can install the Hanwell Lite kit in just 5 simple steps and be up and running within a couple of hours!

I noticed the other day that I seem to have a cardigan hoarding problem. It’s funny, because I remember helping a client clean out her closet-I made her get rid of so many cardigans! Now here I am, drowning in them. I just love the longer, boyfriend, open style in a lot of the cardigans I have been seeing (and buying). They pair so well with anything from jeans and a tee to your favorite casual dress!
I was headed out Friday night with Ryan and the girls to grab dinner and run some errands. Obviously like most days I wanted to be somewhat comfortable but stylish. These new high waisted jeans are a favorite of mine. They are still a tad snug, but I just loved how they fit! My first instinct was to grab a crop top, but loved the idea of tucking in one of my fave plaid button ups and cardigans! These booties are also insanely comfortable. I love the casual, flatter heel with the pointed toe-a cross between casual and dressy (when it’s needed)!
I don’t know about you, but there’s something about Friday nights. Granted, they aren’t as awesome as they used to be, seeing that I work at my store on Saturdays, but Friday nights just have a different energy. I still love knowing that only one more work days stands between me and two days off (I am closed Sundays and Mondays)!

FIRST BLUNDER: on October 1, 1961, the Republic of Cameroun and Southern Cameroons got into a de facto “union”: with neither an act nor the terms of “union”. We would not be where we are today if there had been more humility and less posturing so that the parties entered into a legal instrument.
SECOND BLUNDER: Even the de facto “union” itself got terminated in 1972 by the act of the Camerounese party. Posturing was not any less the case here.
THIRD BLUNDER: Granted that the “union” was still subsisting, the Camerounese party SECEDED from the union in 1984. On the basis of might, that very party is today killing on a daily basis large members of the innocent party that the belligerent party, by reasoning in reversal, now terms “secessionnistes/terroristes”.
FOURTH BLUNDER: The Camerounese party consolidated its secession in 1990 when it celebrated its 30th anniversary of independence – from 1960 to 1990. There is documentary evidence to that effect. No one country in the world has two independence days!
FIFTH BLUNDER: The Camerounese party has now imposed the granting of a visa on members of the other (Southern Cameroonsian) party wishing to enter their own country, reserving the right to deny any such entry. It is common sense and common knowledge that visas are necessary only when traveling from one country to another!
Unknown to the Camerounese party, the relevant document has an extremely incalculable and conclusive value! Its place in the legal archives/arsenal is of biblical stature. As it is, the whole world now has fresh irrefutable evidence that innocent Anglophones are called “secessionnistes” only in the same way that you ‘give a dog a bad name and hang it’!
Incidentally, Anglophones have been called DOGS!
GOD WORKS IN SUCH A MYSTERIOUS WAY!

His friends call him Vj, and his life couldn't be further from typical. A professional touring and studio musician who continues to play, tour and write music with some of Australia's biggest artists from Jessica Mauboy to Troy Cassar-Daley. Queensland born and Texas raised after moving to the USA aged 11, his love for water developed through skiing the many freshwater lakes of Texas and frequenting the Gulf of Mexico. His interests almost led to a probable marine biology degree after high school, only to be blindsided by what would become a very successful career in music. "I told my dad, I will just defer for a year and get back to my studies" Vj says , yet it seems his destiny was paved through circumstance and his musical abilities and industry networks.
Since returning to Australia in 1995, his love of anything involving water only reflects the lifestyle available to anybody residing in nature's wonderland that is South East Qld .
"I first tried SUP in Jervis Bay NSW, the home of the whitest sand on earth, where my daughter was attending Navy Officer School. It was the best day out on the water ever and as soon as I returned home I invested in my first entry level paddle board."
Vj has spent hundreds of hours exploring the Redcliffe and SE QLD waterways, which then led him toward his love of SUPtography. "I can't imagine not being able to share and document the spectacles of nature and the unique way in which SUP allows you to enjoy typically unchartered seascapes, whilst engaging in low impact exercise and general sun-soaking!"
"Having his own SUP photography Facebook page called SUPtography , it was only natural to stumble across local company, Ride The Tide Paddle Board Co and their vast array of stylish, versatile and simply the coolest paddle boards and accessories," says Vj.
Born in Singapore, Aily spent a lot of time travelling to South East Asia, especially Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia throughout her childhood. The warm, tropical climate meant lots of beach time and her love for water developed from there.
Now a mother of two young boys, 4 and 2 years old, SUP is the best and most ideal water sport for her as she actively gets her older son to join her on the board. “He is pre-school age and because I work from home, he is at home with me on non-Kindy days. I hate seeing him spending hours on the iPad while I am stuck on the computer so as soon as I can get time off I take him out”.
Aily says that her son is beginning to enjoy the ride with the different activities that they come up with - spot dolphins, cruise near ducks and pelicans, chase boat wakes or using their imagination and identifying clouds. To keep her son “entertained” and happy on the board longer, Aily usually takes his favourite juice and a fresh fruit along on the ride.
Besides SUPing, Aily loves cooking and music. When out SUPing by herself, she takes her music with her, either on an ipod or the ukulele.
A Bribie Island resident, the beaches surrounding the island and canals are where Aily paddles most of the time. “The beaches and waterways are not crowded and relatively peaceful compared to those up North or down South, and the Glasshouse Mountains as your backdrop is just amazing”.
Photojournalism and creative writing were two of Aily’s favourite modules in Uni, and with work experience in a NZ lifestyle magazine company she regularly captures her paddles and adventures and shares them on Instagram.

Q: Who is responsible for the Syrian refugee crisis? ISIS? The Syrian government? Someone else?
Harper would like us to believe that ISIS is the cause of the refugee crisis because this supports his “warrior nation” strategy. But this ignores advice from experts like Jeremy Shapiro of the Brookings Institute who says Syria has been in a state of civil war for four years and far more Syrians have been killed by the Bashal al-Assad government than by ISIS. Wiping out ISIS will not stop the civil war.
Q: Was the Canadian government’s response to the crisis good or bad?
In 2012 a year after the civil war started, Jason Kenney changed the refugee rules to make it harder for refugees to resettle under a G5 privately sponsored application. Case in point: little Alan Kurdi’s uncle’s application was rejected because he didn’t have a refugee certificate and couldn’t get one.
In 2013 Harper committed to accepting 11,300 Syrians by 2017 (in the campaign he upped that number by another 10,000). So far Canada has resettled only 2,374 refugees and will fall far short of the original target let alone the higher campaign-promise target.
Kenney boasted that the rule change would reduce G5 applications by 70%. Harper knows Canada won’t reach its refugee resettlement targets but he’s telling Canadians that the government is doing a good job on the refugee file. This is deceitful.
Q: How should the government address the crisis? Fight ISIS? Provide humanitarian aid? Resettle refugees?
A: Fighting ISIS isn’t the answer and even if it were why are these solutions mutually exclusive?
Q: How many refugees should Canada accept? 10,000, 20,000, 30,000?
A: This question is meaningless because it lacks context.
Canada accepted 37,000 Hungarian refuges in 1956 when our population was 16 million. We accepted 60,000 Vietnamese refugees in 1975 when our population was 23 million. Today our population is 35.7 million. The “right” number of refugees to accept is closer to 100,000.
Q: Is Europe doing its “fair share”? Is Canada doing its “fair share”.
A: Europe, yes, Canada, no.
To say Alexander’s comment is disingenuous would be charitable.
We’re discussing Canada’s record with respect to refugees, not immigration. Canada accepts over 250,000 immigrants a year. Including immigration statistics with refugee statistics skews Canada’s per capita number making it look far better than it is.
A review of the list of the top 15 refugee receiving countries shows that Canada ranks 15th, well behind Germany, the US, and many European countries, including Hungary.
Furthermore, the one in 10 resettlement number is meaningless without considering a country’s GDP. It is easier for a large rich country to accept refugees than a small poorer country, but Turkey, Italy and Serbia do it anyway.
Q. Which federal party leaders would handle this crisis best?
A: Certainly not Mr Harper.
No one is asking Canada to “pick up entire communities” and resettle “millions of people.” This is a red herring argument—not befitting a national leader.
Q: Did the government act appropriately with the family?
If this question refers to the government’s rejection of Alan Kurdi’s uncle’s application because of the new G5 sponsorship rules created by Jason Kenny, the answer is no.
If it refers to Harper’s comment that the photo of Alan Kurdi’s body lying on the beach was heart wrenching and he thought of his own son, I don’t know what to say.
Were Canadians a better people back in the 1950s when they accepted 37,000 Hungarians and the 1970s when they accepted 60,000 Asians and in the 1990s when they accepted 40,000 Bosnians and Kosovars?
Or is it simply that they had better leaders who had the courage and the compassion to do the right thing?

The thought that a 3 year old boy had to die when there was a family ready to take him in is unbelievable. I will never understand how paper work is more important that a little boy’s life and there is nothing any member of government can say that will answer that questions. Shame on us.
Alan Kurdi’s aunt lives in Coquitlam, BC. She wanted to sponsor both her brothers and could only afford to sponsor one at a time so she sponsored her older brother and his family and was going to sponsor her other brother (Alan Kurdi’s dad) next. None of this worked out. The older brother’s application was rejected due to Jason Kenney’s new rules and the younger brother’s family (Alan, his 5 year old brother and their mother) all drowned. Meanwhile Immigration Minister Chris Alexander continues to defend Canada’s position. He says they will do more but refuses to explain what (more lip service) and Harper says Mulcair and Trudeau’s suggestion that they all meet to discuss a solution is “partisan”. This is baloney. Harper just doesn’t want to look like he’s bending to the suggestions of the NDP and Liberal leaders. If Canadians re-elect Harper after this we should all hang our heads in shame.
Thank you so much for putting the facts before us.
We can now assess the performance of the federal government clearly and it ain’t pretty.
It is hard to understand why we are not taking in more refugees but are fully capable of taking in temporary foreign workers.
I feel that the response of the federal government to the modern day exodus of ordinary citizens from war torn nations is difficult to understand.
Why is it we can’t take more refugees if Europe is taking so many? Is it because accepting refugees isn’t the Tory way? Is accepting refugees a sort of additional tax on ordinary citizens? Is accepting people who haven’t passed the requirements for citizenship sort of like giving away the privilege of citizenship to the undeserving? Why can’t we let more refugees in?
In addition, how can we become cold and callous so that we can say to ourselves–it’s us or them?
How can we turn away from the appalling situation of these people who are without a destination and without any sort of help?
Or is history simply the repeated triumph of the powerful over the powerless endlessly?
I feel that the federal Tories have lost their way in this issue as they have in many other issues.
They don’t seem to understand how ordinary citizens feel about the plight of other people in such situations.
In a way this issue highlights the lack of insight of the federal Tories with reference to voter feelings.
I feel that government –at all levels—is no longer there for citizens. I feel that only citizens are there for citizens.
Certainly the nations of the world turned it’s back on the refugees until this latest catastrophe for one family woke up the citizens who then activated governments everywhere.
Will we forget about this horror in a day or two?
It’s time to put the word compassion back into the lexicon of ordinary Canadians.
Canada sure isn’t Canada under the federal Tories.
I believe the people of Canada haven’t changed in terms of knowing what the right thing to do is. But I believe the political parties have changed and our leaders in government are nowhere to be found.
Julie, I think in Harper’s fearful mind he’s decided that national security trumps humanity. He seems to be following in the footsteps of the US as opposed to Germany, Australia or the UK (all of which are admitting many more refugees and relaxing their admission requirements). The US’s record is worse than ours. It’s admitted only 1,500 Syrian refugees and plans to take 300 more. It says it can’t move quickly because the refugees must be “thoroughly vetted” to ensure they’re not terrorists. The process take 18-24 months. This would fit Harper’s thinking. He made the refugee admission process tougher and now it can take up to 2.5 years. Ironically the day this hit the fan, Jason Kenney was set to make an announcement about toughening up our immigration laws–pretty soon there won’t be room in Canada for outsiders unless they come bearing pots of money.
As the overemotional reaction to the photo has subsided and more is learned about the behaviour and attitude of the Syrian migrants and the potential consequences and costs of bringing them.in en masse ,reality and softer reflection is taking its place.The last morre recent Ipsos poll now show PM Harper as having the most measured reasonable thoughtful response to the Syrian crisis….and the majority support his wiser response to the issue. ….and how we need this type of thoughtful leader in our times…as opposed to the NDP and Liberal leaders and followers who have tried to cynically use this tragedy to get more votes and smear their opponent with it…like the article above.
Re “Harper’s comment that the photo of Alan Kurdi’s body lying on the beach was heart wrenching and he thought of his own son,” he then turned right around and used this as an excuse to continue his bombing campaign. Disgraceful.
Djangoboy. “Disgraceful” about sums it up. Today’s Globe ran a story on the Turkish policeman who found the drowned child. Mr Ciplak was unaware of the photographer on the scene. He said he prayed that Alan Kurdi was somehow still alive and was heartbroken when he realized he wasn’t. With respect to the photo he said, “The image marks a bleeding wound. My sorrow would ease if this spark could grow to a greater fire which could [extinguish] this fire.” The photo has certainly sparked outrage on the part of Canadians who are sick of Harper’s excuses and inaction.
So terribly sad! The events of the past week have shone a light on the shameful and mean spirited attitudes and practices of a conservative core whom we’ve allowed to make choices for all of us. We’ve been told Chris Alexander is a pretty good guy but he’s allowed himself to be the puppet and spokesperson for a bigoted band of leaders. Whether under Hitler or Harper, each person, including Alexander is responsible for their choices and actions. The invasion of Iraq based on propaganda and lies, and supported by Harper, has taken us down this road. While Saddam Hussein was no saint, the United Nations inspectors and sanctions had contained him. One misadventure after another from bombing Libya to bombing ISIS only makes matters worse. We should not allow Harper to get away with the lie that fighting ISIS helps to solve any problem – but only makes this worse for everyone. With a slight paraphrase, the old proverb says, “There’s nothing quite so bad that Harper can’t make it worse.
Ken, I agree with your comment. Tuesday’s Herald reported the results of the Mainstreet poll: 48% wanted Canada to accept at least 30,0000, 13% said between 20,000 and 30,000 and 11% said between 10,000 to 20,000 (note: 21,300 is Harper’s latest target), 13% said fewer than 10,000, and 15% didn’t know. So bottom line 61% of Canadians want Harper to do more, and 24% want him to stay the course or do less. Harper is staying the course; which brings us right back to your opening sentence “the events of the past week have shone a light on the shameful and mean spirited attitudes and practices of a conservative core whom we’ve allowed to make choices for all of us.” On Oct 19, the hijacking of Canada’s compassion by the 24% will end.
Unreal! Instead of organizing these stupid robo-call polls to find out how Canadians feel about their lame Prime Minister, they should be doing something to help these refugees! I mentioned it on Facebook my parents left Hungary after WW II and this country, Canada, let them in. If that hadn’t happened who knows if I would be around. I am ashamed of our government. How can Harper look himself in the mirror and be a representative of what was once our pride, being a peacekeeping and caring country. I can’t wait for this election so I can vote him out.
Joanna, Harper’s pig-headedness on this issue is astounding. Perhaps he believes that he alone understands the “threat”to national security that would result from inadvertently allowing a so-called terrorist to slip into Canada. But then you have to wonder why his former military advisers aren’t backing him. Retired General Rick Hillier says Canada should accept 50,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year. Hillier was Canada’s defence chief during our involvement in the war in Afghanistan. Hillier is backed by his former adviser, Colonel George Petrolekas, who says this boils down to a logistics exercise–“we’ve done this before, and it’s not rocket science.” Indeed it’s not, it’s politics and dogma from a prime minister who thinks he’s smarter than all of his advisers and the Canadian people.
One just has to listen to the interview of Chris Alexander with the CBC Rosemary Barton to realize who this man is. Pathetic and he is not the only one. The interesting fact about all of this and, to me not surprising, is that this is one of the most religious governments of the last few decades. So much for their Christianity. Absolutely amazing. We cannot even bring 5000 right away to help alleviate the human wave in Europe. We do not have the space or the money I guess. We only have money to bomb ISIS. We do not even have the money to help our veterans to heal their minds once they return from those horrible areas. The money only exists for war.
Alan Kurdi is just one of the thousands if not millions that has to pay the price for the lack of leadership, courage and responsibility of politicians around the world. Alan is by accident the one known but unfortunately the current suffering of children everywhere is mind boggling. Most of it because someone is making money under the table.
I do not reply to those surveys anymore. They are built to allow the interested party to manipulate public opinion.
Carlos, I watched the Barton/Alexander interview online. What struck me was how slippery Alexander was with the facts. He kept touting Canada’s outstanding performance by trotting out various statistics. The Herald reprinted a National Post article on Wednesday which pointed out that according to the UNHCR Canada does take a relatively high number of “resettled” refugees (12,173 in 2013) but why you look at the total number of refugees the UNHCR says Canada ranks 41st in terms of per capita refugees (Alexander said Canada’s performance on a per capita basis was among the best if not best), far behind Turkey and Jordan. When you factor in GDP and geographic size Canada ranks 55th and 93rd respectively. Hardly among the very best, is it.
PS I continue to reply to these surveys hoping to send a message that not all Canadians are OK with Harper’s actions, but I know what you mean about many of them being used to manipulate public opinion.
Hi Carlos, it is an amazing assertion to suggest that this is “the most religious government in decades”; Harper’s government is no more “christian” than Chretien’s was “catholic.” As far as I can see, personal faith (if I may be so crude, “real faith”) plays no part of this government – otherwise we’d see hospitality in action. This is the problem with political interference and partisanship that stains everything. r.
Missing in this analysis is the fact the US has been trying to remove Assad in Syria for the past five years and have been supporting what it terms “moderate” jihadists including the al Qaeda franchise in Syria. In 2011 there was a plan backed by Russia and China to hold elections in Syria. The plan was rejected by the US who wanted Assad gone, replaced by somebody of their own choosing. The last thing the US wanted is an election where the Syrian people could determine their own future.
The Saudis and the gov’t of Qatar are supporting ISIS. Turns out they are also providing funding for the Brookings Institute as well. There was a controversy about this last year, a US public policy think tank getting funding from foreign governments.
Ronmac, this morning’s Globe and Mail ran an article on point. Wokhtar Lamani, a former senior UN official said it’s essential that the civil war come to an end, but notes things are at an impasse because of a lack of agreement on a transitional plan. Iran and Russia want Assad to play a role in transition while the US, Europe, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey insist he must leave. Apparently some nations (Spain, Austria, and Britain) are softening on this point. In any event Lamani says “the world must act quickly” or we’ll be waking up to a genocide.
The media is up for grabs too. There has been an anti-Assad campaign in the media the past few largely funded by Saudi Arabia. In May 2012 major media outlets in the west were running front page stories of an alleged massacre in the town of Houla by Assad forces. Pictures of dead children were splashed all over the front pages. But then somebody pointed out these pictures were actually taken in Iraq a few years earlier and it all began to unravel from there.
Indeed, to paint a brutally repressive, imperialistic self-perpetuating autocracy like Saudi Arabia as ‘the good guys’ requires mental gymnastics beyond the abilities of anyone with a conscience; and yet somehow they remain Canada’s ‘ally’.

In the next moment, Yun Che appeared in the sky over the Snow Region of Extreme Ice. This time, he estimated the distance very accurately, appearing no more than ten kilometers away from Frozen Cloud Asgard. Up in the air, he could clearly see its silhouette above him.
Yun Che didn’t stop the slightest, putting all of his strength towards using Extreme Mirage Lightning and charging like a lightning bolt in the direction of Frozen Cloud Asgard. At this moment, he heard a peculiar sound coming from the direction of Frozen Cloud Asgard.
The sound was incomparably heavy. Even if it was ten kilometers away, it was still heavy and ear-splitting. This was the violent clashing sound of immense strength striking against an incredibly hard object. The closer he got, the heavier the sound became, making Yun Che increasingly sure that the sound was coming from Frozen Cloud Asgard.
Yun Che furrowed his brows and put his utmost effort into increasing his speed.
All of Frozen Cloud Asgard was violently shaking. Innumerable snowflakes streamed down. With the exception of the thousand year profound ice, the comparatively weaker layers of ice had already broken off, leaving countless cracks throughout the area.
Beneath Frozen Cloud Asgard, in front of Frozen End Divine Hall.
Ye Qingsheng was incomparably sullen and irritable. He had put all of his energy into frantically venting his emotions on the Heavenly Firm stone door. Six months ago, although he had encountered the obstruction of the Heavenly Firm Jade which should not have appeared, in order to avoid the ridicule of others and because the young master Ye Xinghan just happened to be in secluded cultivation, he had resolutely decided not to ask for help from the elders of the Divine Hall, hoping to use his own strength to force open the Heavenly Firm door.
He originally thought three or four months would definitely be enough time and that by the time he had brought Xia Qingyue back to the Sun Moon Divine Hall, the young master wouldn’t have come out yet.
But what he didn’t imagine was that the Heavenly Firm Door’s thickness would exceed his estimation. The twelve of them had bombarded the door, day and night for over five months, and had only just reached the door’s breaking point. Because of this dragging on for so long, he became extremely fretful… Moreover, his biggest concern had already occurred… Young Master Ye Xinghan had already come out from seclusion!
This mission had been personally given to him by Ye Xinghan six months ago. At that time, he had exclaimed that he would perfectly complete such a simple mission in the shortest period of time possible. Adding to the fact that Ye Xinghan originally planned to come in person, he obviously considered Xia Qingyue incredibly important. Having received such an important and easy mission, he originally felt proud of himself and excited from the bottom of his heart.
But now, six months later, the young master had already come out of seclusion, and in addition to having not captured Xia Qingyue, he hadn’t even touched the hem of her clothes.
Ye Xinghan’s sullen voice caused them all to shiver with fright. But luckily, when they were bombarding the Heavenly Firm door today, he felt it trembling... Today, they would definitely be able to blast it open.
“With the exception of Xia Qingyue… the other women all must die!” Ye Qingsheng ferociously struck the Heavenly Firm Jade in front of him with his fist, and the shaking rebound force shook his entire arm with an acute pain. Moreover, his two hands were a blood-like red a long time ago. He definitely wouldn’t hesitate to use weapons to attack the door… but all the weapons that he had brought a few months ago, in the process of attacking the Heavenly Firm Door, had broken one after another—including the Emperor Profound Weapons.
Following the boom was the ear-piercing sound of something shattering as numerous cracks spread out from underneath Ye Qingsheng’s fist, quickly extending outward until the entire door was covered with them.
Ye Qingsheng’s eyes widened as he began laughing madly. Their months of attacking had finally caused the Heavenly Firm Jade to weaken and cracks to appear… These cracks appearing signified that the Heavenly Firm Jade door had finally been thoroughly broken down. A Heavenly Firm Jade which had begun to crumble, was no more than a wall of fine ice. Any low level profound practitioner could destroy it.
Ye Qingsheng loudly roared, stuck out his arms, and condensed all of his profound strength, releasing it upon the Heavenly Firm Jade door before him. The tyrannical pressure of an Overlord caused the ten others who had followed him to feel completely suffocated… But he didn’t allow his excitement to cause him to lose reason, directing all of the power towards the Heavenly Firm Jade door and controlling the degree of strength in order to avoid any surplus force hurting Xia Qingyue, who was inside.
In that extremely oppressive explosion, the Heavenly Firm Jade door, which had endured the strikes of two Tyrants and ten Thrones for over five months, exploded, breaking into pale white powder. Behind the Heavenly Firm Jade door which had been destroyed, was a crowd of women wearing snow white clothing while huddling together… The Frozen End Divine Hall was so big that, even with two thousand Frozen Cloud Asgard disciples huddling together, it still seemed extremely spacious and empty.
A cold air pervaded the hall, and even colder still were the disciple’s expressions. They had known that the last line of defense would eventually break and had already prepared their hearts. Receiving an additional six months already exceeded their expectations. At this moment, they were already absent of worry and fear, their cold expressions full of resentment, determination, and unwillingness… and also a little gratification since, at the very least, Xia Qingyue had already safely left over six months ago and hadn’t fallen into the hands of these evil people at all.
Frozen Cloud Asgard, with its thousand year old foundation, abruptly encountered this all-encompassing calamity… They didn’t even know who their enemy was and what their goal was… so how could they be willing! How could they be willing!
“Oh?” Ye Qingsheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the incomparably weak Gong Yuxian, laughing disdainfully. “Hehe, to have received this great lord’s profound energy, injuring your heart and veins, yet unexpectedly remain living, tsktsktsktsk, not easy at all. How pitiful, how pitiful, your profound strength seems to already have completely scattered. Even if the Great Firmament Golden Deity had appeared to save you, you’ve already become disabled. It’s pitiful enough to make this great lord want to reach out and kill you so that there is nothing left. How about this, these beautiful women, this great lord will kill them one by one. This great lord wants to see how many I have to kill before you die from anger… Hahahahaha!
“You…” Ye Qingsheng’s words caused Gong Yuxian’s whole body to tremble and caused her to abruptly cough up black blood. All of Frozen Clud Asgard’s females were pure of heart and devoid of earthly desires, and the Frozen Heart Arts caused their hearts to become cold as ice… But facing such an enormous disaster, even if they had cultivated the Frozen Heart Arts to completion, they wouldn’t be able to keep their hearts calm.
“Mistress!!” Murong Qianxue and Jun Lianqie hurriedly circulated their profound energy, working at all costs to protect Gong Yuxian’s heart and veins while tightly clinging on to the ice swords in their other hands… Six months of respite, but in the end they could not escape their desperate condition. Even if they pooled together the strength of everyone there, it still wouldn’t be enough to contend with the two Overlords in front of them… but no matter what, they would put their lives on the line to fight!
As Ye Qingsheng recklessly vented his feelings and egotistically howled, Ye Ziyi’s facial expression shifted… In all of Frozen Cloud Asgard, the one with the strongest profound energy was Xia Qingyue… a full half-step into the Tyrant Profound Realm! Therefore, she was extremely easy to recognize. After the Heavenly Firm Jade door was blasted open and they had entered the Frozen End Divine Hall, his gaze had swept over the area numerous times, but he didn’t see Xia Qingyue. He concentrated and realized... he couldn’t feel Xia Qingyue’s aura at all!
“What?” Ye Ziyi’s words caused Ye Qingsheng to stare distractedly, causing him to go from madly laughing to being unable to move which caused his facial expression to change greatly… The entire Frozen End Divine Hall didn’t have a trace Xia Qingyue’s shadow, let alone the slightest bit of her outstanding aura!
All the other members of Frozen Cloud Asgard were there… only Xia Qingyue was missing!
Ye Qingsheng’s gaze rested on the stage to the right side of the Frozen End Divine Hall, and his aura suddenly turned violent as his face took on a sinister expression… At his current realm, he could already sense the presence of spatial energy. Although it had already been a few months, he could still sense tiny vestiges of spatial energy that had yet to disperse… It became clear that it once had contained a profound space formation!
A profound space formation was, without a doubt, the highest level of profound formations on the entire Profound Sky Continent. Even for the Four Great Sacred Grounds, creating a profound space formation was extremely difficult. That, and the enormous Heavenly Firm Jade door, absolutely should not have appeared at a place on the level of Frozen Cloud Asgard.
It was extremely clear, that during their unbearable, unceasing bombardment of the Heavenly Firm Jade door, Xia Qingyue had already escaped using the profound space formation!!
“Wretches… all of you… go die!!” Ye Qingsheng’s rage completely exploded. Six months of sullenness and days and nights without rest, all of his hopes and efforts came to nothing. The consequences would be incomparably serious, and Ye Qingsheng felt his head and heart being trampled. He snarled, and his entire profound strength exploded out, causing a tyrannical pressure to radiate all in all directions.
Crying out in alarm, Mu Lanyi, Chu Yueli, Feng Hanyue, and Feng Hanxue performed the Frozen Snow Dance Steps, simultaneously appearing in front of Gong Yuxian, causing resplendent ice spirits to dance throughout the sky. They had all already become Thrones, but the difference between a Throne and an Overlord was as big as the distance between the heaven and the earth. Even if it was just the profound energy released by an Overlord, they absolutely were unable to resist it.
The force of ten thousand mountains collided with them, inducing explosive pain within their chests and causing the ice spirits to rapidly disappear. They were only able to resist for two breaths of time before they were violently sent flying, resulting in their bodies heavily smashing against the Heavenly Firm Jade wall.
The Frozen Cloud Asgard disciples cried out in alarm… Yun Che had opened all of the profound entrances of the Frozen Cloud’s Seven Fairies, and their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, already completely entering the Emperor Profound Realm. From the perspective of the Frozen Cloud Asgard disciples, the Emperor Profound Realm in the Profound Sky Continent was an unparalleled existence, but in front of the Tyrant Profound Realm, they were unexpectedly not even able to withstand one blow.
Ye Qingsheng’s arm expanded, and a wave of profound energy surged throughout the entire Frozen End Divine Hall. A murderous air enveloped the Seven Fairies, ready to descend upon them in an instant when, all of a sudden, an enormous explosion came from behind, shaking the entire Frozen End Divine Hall.
“Who is it!” Ye Ziyi said as he turned around. A golden figure flashed before his eyes… this golden figure had reached an incredible speed, making him unexpectedly unable to see the figure clearly even with his level five Tyrant Profound strength. Without a response, the figure swept past his line of sight towards the Frozen Cloud Asgard disciples.
It arrived in a flash, having seemingly pierced through space!

A leading national charity in the region has received a cash boost thanks to two Harrogate businessmen. Keith Hemmings and Charles Paines of event services company Joe Manby Limited have completed this year’s gruelling Big Bad Bike Ride - raising more than £1,000 between them for Ataxia UK.
A sponsored cycle event held at various locations around the UK, the Big Bad Bike Ride was set up in 1991 to raise funds for Ataxia UK. The charity supports research into potential cures for Friedreich’s Ataxia, a genetic degenerative neurological disorder affecting children and adults.
Building on the legacy of this summer’s Grand Depart, the 2014 event was staged around York and the East Yorkshire wolds. More than 400 cyclists from around the UK completed the route, raising a record-breaking £120,000 for the charity.
Now a regular event in the cycling calendar, the bike ride was set up by York businessman Graham Kennedy after discovering that two of his children suffered from the genetic disease.
The Big Bad Bike Ride has raised more than £930,000 since 1991, with cash still coming in from this year’s ride. Graham’s original aim was to raise £1m for the charity and the next Big Bad Bike Ride should see him achieve this ambition.

Exploring Asia with Princess Cruises is the best way to see a multitude of exotic destinations in a short amount of time.
I recently spent 23 nights aboard Diamond Princess, cruising from Japan to Sydney via Osaka, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Bali and Darwin.
Now, cruising Asia is a far different proposition to a normal laid back South Pacific idyll, but it has many bonuses providing you do some forward planning and allow yourself to take it all in.
I flew to Tokyo and met the ship in Yokohama on a rainy afternoon and immediately set out exploring the 115,000 tonne luxury floating resort. Diamond Princess is a very generous ship in every way – plenty of space, a choice of indoor and outdoor pools and dining and entertainment options galore.
So what’s it like? Well, Princess specialize in mature travelers with most passengers 40 plus and everyone seems to get along very well. The cruise line knows what its passengers want for their buck and they deliver.
Good food, fun entertainment, relaxing bars and a general feeling of relaxation and friendship were the order of the day.
The fact that we were visiting so many countries in such a short amount of time, I arranged local currency well in advance. However credit cards were universally accepted.
I booked shore tours in most places because I like to be chaperoned in comfort in places I don’t know.
I need to share a quick tip with you regarding shore tours. The shore tours tended to concentrate on ancient monuments and artwork outlets and didn’t give you time to go shopping. They tended to steer away from the main shopping areas. Now, this is a plus for many people so if you want to shop or take in a good restaurant in town, get a taxi.
I always recommend to cruise lines that they have an information desk operating on shore beside the gang plank for those going ashore independently, but it doesn’t seem to happen.
Osaka was our first port of call and it was an interesting place, which like a lot of Japan has traditional areas perched right beside modern developments. Imposing Osaka Castle was the highlight of the day.
Like all of Japan, people were very friendly and courteous and love the fact that you are paying the compliment of seeing their country.
Xiamen in China is one of the fastest growing cities on earth but the air pollution was dreadful. I went to old Canton for a shore tour which was interesting and showed what the real China is like. The people seemed not to notice we were there and the language and cultural barrier was very evident.
Hong Kong – what a great day. They really know how to do things when hosting tourists. They are in another world of friendliness compared to mainland China.
Na Trang, the old American R & R beach, is now a bustling modern strip of luxury resorts and stunning restaurants and bars. However you need to be very wary of who is around you and don’t go swimming and leave your stuff unguarded.
Saigon was a real eye opener. I guess I expected it to be like one of those old Vietnam War movies, but it reminded me of a modern Australian city. We were hosted to a lavish dinner and cultural show and I took a liking to the local brew.
Singapore was stunning. One of the great cities of the world these days, just looking at the designer shops and outlets for luxury cars in Orchard Rd was a real lesson in buying extra Lotto tickets.
In Bali I had a lovely smorgasbord lunch perched beside a slumbering volcano and arriving in Darwin, it was great to be greeted with a warm “G’day”.
I had a balcony cabin aboard Diamond Princess and I would highly recommend you pay the extra and enjoy the experience.
Lastly, I would highly recommend a Princess cruise for anyone wanting to see the world in comfort and in the company of fun loving Aussies.

Mike Beall and George Smith, Davenport Asset Management, discuss growing capital over time with less risk than the overall market.
George Smith, Asset Management, discusses looming fed interest rate decision.
Personal finance journal, Kiplinger's, recognizes Davenport Equity Opportuties (DEOPX) as one of a select few managers that outperformed in 2014.
George Smith and Chris Pearson, portfolio managers of the Davenport Equity Opportunities Fund, discuss their approach to investing.
Personal finance journal Kiplinger's includes Davenport Equity Opportunities (DEOPX) on its equity recommended list.
* The Morningstar Rating for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. DSCPX was rated against the following numbers of U.S.-domiciled Small Cap Blend funds over the following time period(s): 652 funds overall and in the last three years. With respect to these Small Cap Blend funds, DSCPX received a Morningstar Rating of four shares for the overall and three-year period.
On Dec. 31, 2017 the Small Cap Focus Fund (DSCPX) celebrated its 3-year anniversary and earned a 4 Star Rating from Morningstar.

Jason Ki-kit Lau, Sin-Wan Cheung, Michael J Collins, Pauline Cho; Short-term changes in choroidal thickness and axial length in children fitted with orthokeratology lenses of different compression factors. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):1786.
Purpose : To investigate the influence of compression factor (CF) upon short-term changes in choroidal thickness (ChT) and axial length (AL) in young myopic children treated with orthokeratology (OK) and to examine the relationship between the magnitude of change in AL and ChT.
Methods : This was a within-subject, contralateral, double-masked clinical trial. OK lenses with different CFs (0.75 and 1.75 D) were fitted to the contralateral eyes of each subject in a randomized manner. AL (Lenstar) and ChT (Spectralis OCT) measurements were obtained prior to commencing OK lens wear and then weekly for one month. OCT images were segmented using customized software to determine the subfoveal ChT (with manual correction where appropriate). A repeated measures ANOVA was used to examine AL and ChT changes over time and between fellow eyes. Pearson correlation test was used to examine the correlation between the change in ChT and AL.
Results : Twenty-five children (mean age: 9.3 ± 1.0 years) with low myopia (-2.12 ± 1.00 D) and minimal astigmatism (-0.37 ± 0.37 D) and anisometropia (0.04 ± 0.61 D) completed the study. Baseline refraction (-2.30 ± 1.05 D), ChT (253.3 ± 56.4 µm) and AL (24.30 ± 0.64 mm) were well-matched between the fellow eyes.
There was no significant effect of CF upon ChT or AL (both p > 0.05). However, ChT and AL significantly changed over time (p < 0.005) in a quadratic trend of approximate anti-phase relationship (p < 0.001). ChT initially increased by 11.5 ± 12.1 µm at week 1 (p = 0.001) and gradually returned to its original thickness at week 4 while AL significantly decreased by 26.8 ± 6.9 µm at week 1 (p = 0.008) and returned to its original thickness at week 4. For both CFs, changes in ChT were only significantly correlated to changes in AL at week 3 (-0.56 < r < -0.41, p < 0.05).
Conclusions : Increasing the CF of OK lenses did not result in different changes in ChT and AL and the shortening of AL observed in OK treated children could not be entirely explained by an increase in ChT.

What’s it like to have Borderline Personality Disorder? To navigate life with a mental illness that many therapists can’t/don’t want to treat? Today, Rebecca shares her story.
I’m originally from New York City. I’m a 26 year old blogger. For fun, I like to fish, play video games, and read medical thrillers.
For those of us who don’t know, what is Borderline Personality Disorder?
On paper, Borderline Personality Disorder is a serious mental illness where you experience erratic mood and personality changes, coupled with an intense fear of abandonment.
Borderline mood swings move so quickly that you can be ambitious at 7am, grumpy at 9am, and have little motivation to live by 11am. Your personalities and even hobbies will shapeshift to match your new mood swings. This is why people that suffer from BPD have a hard time holding down traditional jobs or establishing a sense of identity.
Borderlines are also known for clingy behavior because a major symptom of BPD is a pervasive fear that the people you love the most will turn around and hurt you or be taken away from you (like in a freak accident.) This feeling comes even if they’re just walking to the garage to fetch something from their car.
Since Borderlines don’t have an sense of identity, who you are is heavily wrapped in who you love. It’s like if your arm randomly up and left. The shock is startling and can shut your whole body down.
It’s not something you ever get used to, either. Each time you feel that fear, it’s like the first time experiencing the shock, all over again.
So, short version, BPD is a complicated mental disorder that invades your moods, your identity, and your ability to have relationships with other people.
What are the most common misconceptions about BPD?
That we’re evil, serial killer, arsonist, manipulative, narcissistic, lying monsters, essentially. These are some of the most common words used to describe Borderlines.
There are more resources available to people who have encountered Borderlines than resources for actual Borderlines. I understand why, but it’s discouraging and heartbreaking to try to get help when there is an expectation that you’re this terrible person.
I never want to excuse the actions of people with Borderline Personality Disorder, my own included, but I want to offer a perspective.
We’re needy and extremely codependent, especially when we’re unable to find treatment.
The reality is that even psych professionals are not equipped to offer aid to people with BPD. Borderlines are deemed resistant to therapy and difficult to treat, especially with our impulsivity, paranoia, and persistent personality and mood changes. You have to find someone both willing and experienced in treating personality disorder, which is rare.
When help is hard to come by, Borderlines can regress deeper into their symptoms and become those things people say about us.
And this assuming the Borderline even has medical insurance to cover getting help.
What lead to your diagnosis?
I grew up in a violent household which lead to a suicide attempt when I was 13 years old.
I woke up in the psychiatric ward.
Personality disorders are rarely diagnosed to anyone under the age of 18, but after a series of tests and doctor’s visits inside inpatient care, they diagnosed me with Borderline Personality Disorder.
How did you feel when you got the diagnosis?
It honestly felt like a death sentence. There is a small psychiatric center near where I lived and I saw literally every single therapist in there. None of them wanted to work with me. Since child services was involved, my parents had to take me to different therapies and none of the clinics kept me longer than a few weeks.
What sort of treatment have you pursued?
I’ve been in talk therapy on and off for the past 13 years. Most of talk therapy didn’t work for me because BPD isn’t something you can just “talk out” and try to reframe, which a lot of therapists tried to do with me.
However, finding a therapist that specialized in personality disorder has been my saving grace. I’m lucky to have found one locally, even though it took me a year and a half after moving here, to find her.
I hear that there is a therapy called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy that has worked wonders for Borderlines.
I used to take medication, but some of my symptoms would be exacerbated. Like, if they treated my impulsivity and anger, it may increase my suicidal thoughts. If they treated my suicidal thoughts, I may experience intensified mood swings. Medication is really something you have to be patient with.
These days, do you feel your BPD is pretty effectively ‘managed’?
I think I manage it pretty well. I do have meltdowns and panic attacks every few months, when I neglect my personal self care and I get overwhelmed.
I’m still in therapy but the major factor in my sustained recovery is how mindful I have to be of my thoughts, emotions, and triggers. It’s exhausting to be in constant control, so I try to be kind with myself and not push too hard.
Do the people in your life know about your diagnosis?
I used to say I had depression and anxiety to make it easier, but in the last year, I started coming out with my real diagnosis. The people that didn’t really know me were shocked because they thought I was so emotionally grounded and I seem so stable from far away.
People that were close to me were generally accepting and not surprised. It was like giving them an answer to a question they were too respectful to ask.
There have been a small amount of people who were rude or took malicious joy in hearing about my diagnosis, but they eventually weeded themselves out of my life.
Honestly, saying the diagnosis out loud felt more like I was learning to accept myself for who I am, rather than seeking acceptance from others. I feel like I can finally breathe.
What resources have helped you navigate this?
Minimalism, hygge, and meditation has done a lot for me. Minimalism helps me curb impulsive decision making because it lets me put structure and limitations on my life, without reducing my quality of living.
Hygge helps me stay present in the moment and cultivate a safe, comfortable space inside of my home. Meditation is a great mental exercise because it helps me be more aware of my triggers.
My favorite books that have helped me along are The Tiny Book of Tiny Pleasures by Irene Smit and The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking. There’s also a BPD specific book called Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder by Blaise Aguirre that I enjoyed.
What advice would you give to people who love someone with BPD?
If you love someone with BPD, please take care of yourself. Have your own self care systems in place and don’t try to take on our problems as your own. You can’t fix or save us, but you can support us.
Create a crisis plan together so your loved one is having an episode, you know exactly what steps to take to get help.
We’re not lost causes. There are a LOT of people and resources who will tell you to run away, we’re not worth it, we’ll just burn your life down. Loving us is difficult (trust me, it was very hard for even me to love myself) but there are success stories. Look towards people who are optimistic and positive in being part of our healing journey. These will be the people that give you the help you need.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Rebecca. Do you guys have any (polite! respectful!) questions for her?
P.S. Other important mental-health related True Story interviews: I have Schizoaffective Disorder, I overcame an eating disorder, I lost my dad to suicide.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. My sister was recently diagnosed with BPD. I hate how difficult it is for those living with mental illness to find the healthcare they need, and as you stated, this diagnosis seems especially tricky to find treatment. It’s really hopeful to hear from someone who has found ways to manage their diagnosis. I am going to direct my sister to this article. I appreciate you sharing your real diagnosis and what is working for you. It’s discussions like these that help others struggling to find answers. Best to you!
I never knew that therapists didn’t like to treat BPD. Thanks for the insight into how living with it is like. I wish the best to you!
I truly appreciated this interview, I’m not sure what I am struggling with, but regardless to know there’s others making positive change and strides toward a more mindful way of life encourages me as well to find peace and solutions to curb my moody reactions…thank you greatly for this!!
My best friend has bpd and as much as I like to feel like I understand her and and what she goes through, I’ll never truly know. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing your story so openly. My brother has BPD, and he explains it as a severe type of bipolar disorder to acquantinces, so that’s the term I tend to use when talking about him to non-professionals (my boss, my friends). We know it’s not really, but it’s something that people understand and aren’t usually threatened by. I tend to leave his diagnosis out when talking about my brother, but there have been a few times when I’ve needed to because of suicide attempts or other crises. He’s been really lucky to find a specialist in BPD to treat him, but I’ve had therapists hesitate to accept me as a patient for my depression/anxiety when they see his diagnosis on my family history.
Thank you for sharing your story! I grew up with a parent who had BPD and my first 21 years were dominated by the disorder. At best my childhood was chaotic and confusing, at worst it was traumatic and destructive. In my perspective it’s one of the most tragic mental illnesses as it’s so hard to recognise and treat. Living with and loving someone who has BPD can be devastating and hurtful as often you carry the burden of the illness, suffering from it can be isolating and alienating as people cannot help you feel loved and eventually stop trying. Unlike the interviewee I’ve found it nearly impossible to find resources for relatives of those with BPD!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Rebecca.
A few years ago, I was stalked & harassed by a guy I went on a few dates with (a barista at my local Starbucks) who had Borderline Personality Disorder. It was difficult to deal with for a number of reasons, but one of them was that, as an advocate myself for removing the stigma of mental illness, I felt incredibly guilty about my lack of support for & care about this guy. I wanted to understand, to assume the best of him, & to work through it with him (even though I didn’t want to date him). I didn’t want to confirm his fears about being abandoned. At the same time, he acted out in incredibly scary & inappropriate ways, & he made me feel incredible afraid & unsafe.
I have since tried to read up on BPD, & I understand that much of how he acted stemmed from his disorder – but at the same time, as you say, not everyone with BPD acts like this or treats others like this, & he refused to take care of himself or manage his disorder. He wouldn’t speak with professionals anymore OR go on medication; he repeatedly told me he was smarter than therapists & law enforcement.
I think the key here is working to manage your mental illness & taking ownership of that. Certainly I don’t expect everyone with a mental illness (myself included!) to be OK all of the time, or to always act in the “right” ways. But when a person is taking charge of their life & trying to take steps to better their mental health, it becomes, in my opinion, much easier to accept the occasional breakdowns & issues.
It sounds like you’re doing an incredible job of that, & I commend you for it. I’m only sorry that people like the stalker barista give people like you a bad name along with them. Thank you for showing us that BPD is so much more than we know it to be from the outside, & for showing us what it’s like behind the scenes. I wish you the best in your continued mental health journey.
Thank you for sharing your story, Rebecca. I have a cousin who has BPD and has refused to acknowledge that she has a mental illness, even almost 20 years after her diagnosis. I wish for her sake (and her family’s) that she would, because I think it would help her to accept herself and live a happier, more stable life. My best goes out to you that you continue to be successful in your self-care. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you for sharing. My tween daughter has bpd. The last 2 years have been very difficult. Lots of self harm, destructive choices, hatred of herself and us. 3 php stays and 2 inpt stays. Tried to jump. Out of a moving car. I struggle every day to know how to help her and support her. How to make her feel loved. We are working at getting dbt started. You have helped give me hope. If we can just continue to work and keep her safe she can have real life with some joy.
Thank you for sharing. Although my wife has not yet been diagnosed, I am quite positive she displays most of the symptoms. I love her and want to be with her but the chaotic few years we have have been through since marriage in 2014 have been upsetting and has resulted in my arrest following a blazing row and a stupid wrestle, and I’ve never been in trouble with the law before in my life. I would love to be with my wife and love her from the bottom of my heart, but I can only think she hates me for the way she treats me. I wish she would come to the doctors for a diagnosis so I could stand by her, as I feel in complete dispair and all her family and Friends are probably thinking I’m the problem, if only they could see the truth. I still love my wife and will fight for her, until she looks me in the eye and tells me that she no longer loves me. I hope that day never comes.
Hi Chris… I can relate. My boyfriend has not been diagnosed with BPD either but he too displays the same symptoms. Us too have gone through some crazy chaotic times. From the cops being called to me stopping his own suicide attempt. I too sometimes wonder if he hates me…. I try my best to remind myself he needs help and its not his fault but it is so hard…. my own mental health is taking a toll. The guilt of wanting to leave eats me up. I am afraid he would do something horrible if I left. I know you made a promise to her through sickness and health and I am not married to him…. but when do we say enough is enough and it’s time to take care of ourselves?
My college roommate this past year has BPD. When I met her, I thought that a lot of her stories were a little out there, but I didn’t question it at the time. She told me that she struggles with anxiety, depression, and a brain tumor… the first night we met. She also told me about her negative experiences with her dad growing up and how he abandoned her family. I felt so bad for her knowing all of this, and I tried to do everything I could to help her. But it got so demanding and exhausting. She would constantly be having a meltdown about something to get attention. When I would leave for the weekend, she would get super anxious and make me feel guilty for leaving her alone in the room. Some days, she would tell me I was the best person ever, and other days, she would be cold and ignore me. There was one point where she literally ignored me for 3 DAYS. WE LIVED IN A SMALL ROOM TOGETHER AND SHE DIDN’T SAY A WORD TO ME. It was so awkward. She eventually told me it was because I had to miss out on something she planned. She would talk about crazy ideas and stories that she had. She told me that she had cried everyday for 8 years straight (which honestly I believe considering the amount of meltdowns she had), had gotten engaged to someone over spring break then called it off two weeks later (which I did some research and he does not follow her on Instagram nor do they have any pictures together even though she told me they were dating and that he would fly out to see her across the country but he never visited campus. I also saw that he was dating a girl who goes to our school so I knew it was so false. But everyone believed her story) and had a brain tumor that she never took meds for, because as she says she “didn’t want it to control her life”. Even when I would find something/someone that might able to help her significantly, she would turn it down like it was nothing. She would fake symptoms randomly, but not be able to keep the act going for a long time. A lot of these things I just found out were false this summer, so I never got to confront her while we were living together. She went a whole week where she would drink alcohol throughout the day and constantly be drunk. I tried to help her, but she refused all help until she got everyone we knew involved so they could pity her and give her attention that she constantly craved. When we were with people, she would have to constantly be the center of attention. She would talk bad about me to everyone-people we were living around, friends with, ect. Everyone LOVED her, and I was the only one who knew what was really going on behind closed doors. It was very difficult for me to make friends because she would overshadow me constantly and make me sound like a horrible person to anyone who knew me. She didn’t even care about what was going on in my life, because she never listened. She constantly talked about herself, there was no room for me. This was very hard considering I was a freshman in college and already very homesick. So many things that I thought were real, turned out to be lies that I have just found out about. It’s crazy. She would even say mean things to my face very casually and try to tear me down. She was so insecure but would never admit it. I knew something was off when she told me, “I never really had to deal with insecurities and the way that I looked or who I am. I’ve always had way bigger problems to deal with so insecurity was never a thing for me.” Everytime I would come home or leave the dorm for a trip, I would feel like the biggest weight off my shoulders. It was such a toxic environment, but I didn’t realize it at the time, and it emotionally damaged me. If you are in a situation like this, please do research and look for the signs. if I was still living with her and I had found out about what BPD is about, it would have helped me and her so much.
Hello. My name is Ashley. I’m 14. I have BPD and BD + schizophrenia. I really appreciate your story it’s really truthful. Thanks for your advise.
Ive had several diagnoses and the pyscharist mentioned that i have bpd traits. I do see the symptoms for sure. Its very severe right now and it has affected my health. I wouldnt say i want attention.. I do openly tell some of my friends whats going on..the past year its been hard because looking back and seeing the pattern it definitely opened my eyes. I dont think i had severe bpd my whole life but after experimenting with drugs and going through drinking ohases.. Its definitrly worsened my conditon. I dont drink that much anymore. My memory is VERY poor at the moment.. I experience extreme paranoia which is new to me. I was very impulsive in the past and would get bored with most jobs until i found something i loved but my business fell through… I got out a long funk after that and dived into dancing which complicated things. Anyways for a year i experience extreme irritability, constant negative flash backs, suicidal thoughts, emotionally blunted, flat lined, barely able to do things due to the paranoia but push myself, extreme crying spells, bad anxiety, fixated on my relationship.. Thinking my partner is cheating or lieing to me because ive been so unstable thst why would he love after a year of confusion.. Ive reached out for help and was precribed many different antidepressants.. Antipyschotics.. I recently started a stimulant again which is some what helping but im searching for a better inpatient treatment..

Doing a website on your own is hard work. Sure, there are services online that offer an individual to generate websites for free. But free-generated websites don’t guarantee stability and competitiveness to those who wish to utilize them for businesses.

When I was a kid I would often dream of going to japan or a country I perceived to have great honor. I would watch movies where there would seemingly be a sweet harmony in their actions and a set code to live by. I dreamed of a world where actions had a direct equation to self-worth. As I have grown I find I'm lucky to see misplaced or mistaken loyalty before I taste bitter betrayal. I have read in history books of genocides done all in the name of honor. I've always found a deep need for self-evaluation of personal integrity because it seems so easy for people to lose.
Angela is my queen. I try and watch my wife very carefully to see her reactions to what I do. After that I try to correct my actions were necessary to make her happy. If successful, I write blogs about it using the internet to help me articulate and figure things out further. I change the way I communicate tactfully as an individual, not to an unattainable standard of appeasement.
My loyalty is to my wife and my goal is to make her happy. When I achieve my goal I am happy, it really is that simple. As I actively work on my goal I try to practice chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. Each of these virtues helps me in my ultimate goal of keeping my wife happy. When she smiles, my success can have no better reward. I spent my night last night scrubbing our bathroom. When I was done I was so tired but I stayed up for Angela to shower so we could cuddle and go to sleep together.
Every day we all have reliance on the character of others. Though their virtues we are able to work together to better ourselves and our society. Every virtue is up to negotiation on the definition of the high moral standard of that virtue. With this open definition its so easy to have one small justification that compromise's our very character. I love my wife so much. I will work every day to try and make my actions have the type of harmony I imagined the world had when I was young.

As president of employee benefits at INSgroup, one of the nation's largest strategic risk and insurance advisors, Tommy Harris knows how important it is for employers to provide the highest-quality healthcare coverage at the lowest-possible cost.
That's why KelseyCare is often at the top of his list of recommendations.
"No other model in the region has the technology, patient outreach, coordination of care, and open access to top physicians and hospitals," said Harris, a 25-year veteran of employee benefits and human resource consulting. "We've seen downward pressure on year-over-year pricing for our clients who choose this option. If you can get better care, with better outcomes, with better pricing, without restricting the care, it's just a better, more-sustainable model."
While medical coverage inflation is often a problem with traditional fee-for-service plans, KelseyCare's approach can help keep rates consistent, or even lower them.
"Because care is coordinated in the KelseyCare model, you can eliminate unnecessary tests or duplicate treatment, and that starts to put a lid on those medical inflation numbers," Harris said. "We've actually seen KelseyCare reduce cost year over year."
Another benefit of KelseyCare, which differentiates it from an HMO, is open access to any Kelsey-Seybold physician or location, as well as most hospitals in the area. Referrals to specialists are not needed.
However, one of the biggest things that sets KelseyCare apart is a focus on a prevention-based philosophy, while providing seamless, coordinated care.
"KelseyCare's approach to healthcare is more about prevention and disease management," Harris said. "They reach out to employees who might have borderline chronic conditions and then train them on how to better manage those conditions, so they don't become bigger claims in the future."
This makes KelseyCare a smart choice, whether a company is large or small.
"Regardless of the size of your company, price is a function of premiums versus claims utilization," he said. "In a healthier population, claims will trend lower. If you have an unhealthy or aging workforce that's not maintaining wellness, your claims will increase. That's one way KelseyCare's emphasis on wellness can help lower prices."
Harris says he feels good about recommending KelseyCare to clients because of the positive reviews he gets concerning the quality of care and cost containment.
"My clients who have KelseyCare say they're not giving it up," he said. "Once people get into the KelseyCare system, they don't want to leave it."

Guest Author: Pamela Aares & Giveaway!
You know, I haven’t really thought about the holidays yet. My oldest is getting married in a few weeks. My youngest is moving to another state in a few weeks. This will be the first Thanksgiving and Christmas without my youngest. I’ll be sad. I do plan to decorate the house for Christmas and play Christmas music. I will think of her as she also likes Christmas music. I will probably go to my brother’s for Thanksgiving and be among family. Not sure who we’ll celebrate with for Christmas.
Bonnie, you have a busy few months ahead of you! Hope it includes lots of lots of the family time you’re wishing for.
At the end of this month I am headed up to the Sunshine Coast for a week to visit family.
When I get back I will start to think about Christmas as I have to post a number of the gifts.
The holiday season starts early at our house… but I must admit that I’m still enjoying all the fuss!
Cate, as long as it’s a nice kind of fuss (especially involving baked goods), bring it on! What are your favorite traditions to begin with?
Our holidays are usually pretty quiet, just close family. Thanks for sharing with us!
Robin, spending time with close family is one of my favorite parts of the holidays too. Is your family close by, or do you travel to see them?
I guess for Thanksgiving we are going to have lunch at my house and dinner ar my in laws house. Christmas…I haven’t even started thinking about Christmas yet!!
Thanksgiving is going to be great. I will have dinner at my house and I am hoping that all my children and their family can be here weather and schedules permitting.
Rosemary, that sounds like a wonderful celebration. Here’s hoping that the weather behaves, and everyone’s travel schedules do too.
I would like to have Thanksgiving dinner at my house. We have a small family which makes it very special. One member of our family will be 90 next year, so each get together is so precious.
90? Wow, congrats to your relative! Hope your Thanksgiving dinner is a great family visit too.
That’s a great goal, erinf1! A little more relaxation would make the holidays a lot less hectic.
I am Canadian so we already had our Thanksgiving yesterday. We had some turkey and the usual thanksgiving food at my relative’s place. Too many people as usual so I am glad that it’s over in a way!
May, I’ve wondered if Canadian Thanksgiving had the same food traditions as U.S. Thanksgiving. I guess you do! Hope things are calmer for you for a while.
My family and I have not started making any plans for the holidays yet, but we will either be at my sisters house, my niece’s house or my house. I love the holidays and try to enjoy every second of them.
Mary, that sounds so nice. Do lots of your family members live near you?
Great blog today thank you.
Congratulations on the books from both of you they both sound great I can’t wait to read them.
Since money is short this year we will be staying home for the Holidays!
Penney, hope it’s a good “staycation” for you. Sometimes those are the coziest!
Thinking about the Holidays start early for me. There are too many people and kids to think about and shopping has to start early or I’ll go broke. lol.
Yazmin, good point. Starting early means you can keep an eye out for great sales!
From October to the end of December are my favorite times of the year. Right now I am looking forward to all of the craft shows coming up. From now until the first of December there are at least two per weekend. I love finding unique, handcrafted presents and decorations at all those craft shows.
Kim, that sounds so fun. What are some of your favorite things to look for? Do you like to collect ornaments?
Beebs, that sounds like a wonderful day!
We now spend Christmas Eve at my parents house, instead of our house. My parents are in their 80s and don’t like to drive very far, so we go there. We go to church and hear my Father sing in the choir then the whole family goes back to open gifts. A wonderful new tradition.
Ann, that’s lovely. Enjoy your new family tradition this year.
Thanksgiving and Christmas will be spent with my family and a close family friend. I always look forward to Christmas with my grandchildren and to visiting for several days with my brother and his family.
Janie, that sounds so nice. The more family around (usually) the better at that time of year!
Thanksgiving is going to be spent back in my hometown again. Will be spending time with both sides of the family once we get there. Christmas is different. My inlaws don’t celebrate it but my side of the family does. We have yet to make any plans for it though.
Alyn, do you think that makes Christmas celebrations easier if you don’t have to split the day between two families? My in-laws don’t celebrate it either, so while Thanksgiving can be a scramble to see everyone, Christmas is usually quieter for us.
We’ll be having a family get together come Christmas. My older sis migrated with her family to NZ so we don’t get to see her much – every 2 years of so. They’ll be home for Xmas this year *happy jig* & my other sis who lived in another state will be home too with her family. It’s going to be great!
Wow, New Zealand? That’s not an easy trip to make back to the US. Hope everyone has safe travel–enjoy the visit!
We’ll have a family get together at Thanksgiving.
bn100, hope it’s a good visit. Are you hosting?
Kidlets one and two are coming home from college in December and kidlet three is having his Wisdom teeth out right before Christmas so it should be interesting and busy holidays.
Ack, there’s never a good time to have wisdom teeth out. Lots of soft Christmas food (or eggnog?) for kidlet three this year!
I bet Utah is wonderful at that time of year, Melody!
Sorry I’ve been a bit AWOL, folks, but Theresa has been holding down the fort. I’ve been in and out the last few days, but enjoying reading all your plans for the holidays!
Love historical fiction. And the Regency period is so interesting. Both sound like awesome books!
Thanks, Vicki! I’ve been a Regency girl from way back.
Dawn, I wish all the best for you and your husband. I hope you enjoy your early Thanksgiving together, and that he returns home to you soon! Our son lives in Japan and we really miss him – that darn flight is sooo expensive and so long!
I’ll be celebrating at home with the family. Hopefully it will be relaxing and non-stressful, my favorite type of holiday.
No need to enter me in the contest as I just finished Season For Surrender; loved it and would recommend to us historical romance addicts.
Sherri, I’m so glad you enjoyed Season for Surrender! Thanks for stopping by (and for hosting me recently!).

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Flashlight Design Electronic Systems GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the Flashlight Design Electronic Systems GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Flashlight Design Electronic Systems GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Flashlight Design Electronic Systems GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
The data protection declaration of the Flashlight Design Electronic Systems GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
The website of the Flashlight Design Electronic Systems GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

Lack of social or emotional respone, don't always react to people when they call him/her or respone to their questions and request.
Autism persistent of liking an object,movements with sound.
Many of Autism Symptoms of Asperger's include: impaired ability to utilize social cues such as body language, irony, or other subtext of communication; restricted eye contact and socialization; limited range of interests; perseverative, odd behaviors; didactic, verbose, monotone, droning voice; concrete thinking; over-sensitivity to certain stimuli; and unusual movements.
Alway isolated in worlds of their own, people with autism appear indifferent and remote and are unable to form emotional bonds with others. Although people with this baffling brain disorder can display a wide range of symptoms and disability, many are incapable of understanding other people's thoughts, feelings, and needs. Often, language and intelligence fail to develop fully, making communication and social relationships difficult. Many people with autism engage in repetitive activities, like rocking or banging their heads, or rigidly following familiar patterns in their everyday routines. Some are painfully sensitive to sound, touch, sight, or smell.

Bramall Lane will host an England Rugby League World Cup game after it was announced today (29th January) that Sheffield has been selected as one of 14 host cities who will get a piece of the action in the 2021 tournament.
Following a successful bid from Sheffield City Council and partners, Sheffield has been chosen by the RFL to host one England men's group game at Bramall Lane and the wheelchair games, including the double header semi-finals at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield.
As well as the city's significant role in the tournament, Sheffield will also have opportunities to be involved in the RFL's diverse InspirationALL legacy programme.
The games will be one of the most inclusive and diverse events ever hosted in England, promoting the three simultaneous disciplines of the men's, women's and wheelchair World Cup.
Fourteen cities and towns across the UK have been chosen to host the 2021 tournament, the sixteenth staging of the Rugby League World Cup made up of 32 teams playing 63 games.
In Sheffield the sporting stage for an England men's game will be Sheffield United' s Bramall Lane stadium. .

The tournament will see the UK welcome world-class athletes performing on Rugby League's biggest stage and will deliver some inspirational and memorable moments that will become highlights of the 2021 sporting calendar and beyond.
Dave McCarthy, Operations Director with the Blades,, said: "We are honoured that our stadium has been chosen to stage games which could involve some of the biggest names at international level. Our Bramall Lane stadium will be an amazing venue, showcasing once again the versatility of the stadium in the modern era of sport and entertainment."

Sheffield's bid was made by Sheffield City Council in partnership with Sheffield United Football Club, Sheffield Eagles, Sheffield International Venues, Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, Scarborough Properties and Sheffield Hallam University.

The Pulse wiped out everything. Some humans became warped and developed a need for blood. Those Scavs destroyed what tenuous structure remained. The remaining humans and androids gathered in Colonies to hold off the intelligent Scavs and try to rebuild society. Lone humans and androids decided to take another route, wandering the deserted lands between Colonies as Treaders, protecting the Colonies like ghosts in the night.
“Hello again, Detective Reed.” Nines bends down and brushed his forehead against Gavin’s own.
He was bewildered as to why but wouldn’t lie- it made him feel better.
It was a well-known fact that Nines was a dangerous individual. However, it was a lesser-known fact that Nines was not actually the most dangerous individual working at the DPD.
Well, at least to the public.
And this was the story of how one nosy mail courier was about to find this out.
Will update tags as necessary!
Hank Anderson is a grizzled, hard boiled Alpha police lieutenant. He doesn't have time for games, the patience for people, or the energy for an Omega.
Connor is a young, sheltered Omega. He's never been outside of JERICHO, aspires to be a detective and wants his Alpha to respect his dream.
Neither is a huge fan of compromise or half-measures. But they do meet in the middle, and fall in love.
They just have to complete the side-quests first.
Baths weren’t really Gavin's thing; he was more of a ‘shower in 5 minutes before throwing your clothes on a semi-dried body’ kind of person.
Three years ago, a horrific tragedy changed your life, In more than one way. Now you’re a single mother working as a detective for the Detroit police department with your new partner, RK900. Will he help you find love again?
Gwen Reed is almost shot in the face and doesn't get why Nines is so worked up about it.

Today that haven is often the taproom of craft breweries established by young entrepreneurs whose ingenuity and determination is bringing new vibrancy that’s transforming small towns and cities across Ohio.
It’s a transformation driven by more people choosing to eat and drink locally sourced products, wanting to know where their food comes from and supporting local agriculture, says Justin Hemminger, deputy director of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association.
Take, for instance, Modern Methods Brewing Co. in Warren.
In 2016, the startup plan was to mirror the success of regional breweries that distributed to various states, says owner Adam Keck.
But by the time Modern Methods opened in April 2018, “That all changed,” he says, as drinkers prefer local beers over those from out-of-state. So Keck scaled back on distribution and invested in his taproom and the community. Other craft breweries in the region are following a similar strategy.
Numbers Brewing Co. in Lisbon has become “the working- class brewery,” says Brock Beatty, who co-owns the business with Jeramy DeBord.
When Beatty isn’t working his day job as a production supervisor at a titanium mill, he usually can be found in blue jeans, work boots and a hoodie at the brewery. To maintain consistent quality, Beatty sticks with staple types of beer that include IPAs, a blond ale, porter and stout, he says.
Numbers, opened in December 2015, saw a 25% year-to-year increase in its first year. In 2018, contract brewing increased business 35% over 2017, he says.
Last year, Numbers invested some $400,000 to expand its taproom and parking lot and add a patio and kitchen. The company is also building a 60-by-40-foot addition to its brew house with a 15-barrel system that Beatty hopes to have operating by April. It will allow Numbers to double its 2018 production “pretty easily,” Beatty says.
While regular taproom customers make up most of the business, distribution to 30 regular customers has driven growth at Numbers, Beatty says. In January, it received its license to distribute in West Virginia, where demand for the beer is strong, he says.
Maintaining product consistency while accommodating expansion is a full-time job that requires at least one member of management with a “sound business mind,” or else the quality will suffer, he says.
Numbers employs nine, which allows Beatty and DeBord to focus on running the business.
Doing more business research and hiring a team are two things Ken Blair would have done differently. Blair, former co-owner of the Rust Belt Brewing Co., says he ended up “trying to do too much” by running the brewery while working full-time as an officer with the Youngstown Police Department.
The demands took a toll on Blair’s product quality as well as his personal and family life, he says. And while he is thinking about trying again – with a smaller business model – his focus is on his time at work and his kids.
As for the future of the local and regional craft beer industry, Blair expects it will continue to gain market share among those drinkers who prefer domestic light beers. Having a cluster of breweries concentrated in one area creates an opportunity for tourism, he adds, because visitors tour the breweries for a day or two as they do with wine trails.
Along with buying the beer, communities invest in the industry by hosting office parties, holiday gatherings and other events at the breweries, notes the Ohio Craft Brewers Association’s Hemminger. In turn, the breweries put those dollars back into the community by contracting with local farms, building contractors and business services.
Birdfish Brewing Co. in Columbiana buys some of its hops from Lamppost Farm there and Knucklehead Hop Farm in Leetonia, as well as fruit from Winkel Berry Farm in North Lima and Zaney Pearl Farm in Columbiana.
In January, Birdfish committed to buying 50,000 pounds of barley from Yarian Quality Malts to use this year, says co-owner Josh Dunn. Nine of the 12 beers on tap at Birdfish are brewed with Yarian barley.
“So 70% of the barley that we’ll use in our brewing operations in 2019 will be sourced within five miles of the brewery,” Dunn says.
In November 2015, Dunn opened Birdfish at 16 S. Main St. with his brother, Jon, their cousin, Jared Channell, and brother-in-law, Greg Snyder. Since opening the second location at 140 E. Park Ave. in December, they have seen more foot traffic from out-of-town visitors as well as residents out shopping, Jon Dunn says.
Pinball and Skee-Ball machines make the new location – called Down Low – family-friendly to accommodate the younger families as well as couples moving into the area and buying houses, Dunn says.
The $350,000 expansion includes a new seven-barrel system that, along with the original site on Main Street, will produce up to 800 barrels of beer this year, up from some 500 produced last year.
For Keck of Modern Methods, creating a community space has led to him hosting special events, such as the Smarts Stories monthly storytelling event in collaboration with Students Motivated by the Arts of Youngstown, as well as some philanthropic efforts. For instance, a $350 donation to Earth Angel Farm will help the nonprofit Farmhouse 908 project to serve veterans suffering from PTSD and others living with disabilities. The project aligns with Keck’s mission to support community success. Such efforts pay for themselves by bringing attention and awareness to the brewery, he says.
The community’s connection to the brewery can help economic development efforts in the city as well.
During the holidays, Keck spoke with people from North Carolina, New York and Seattle who were visiting relatives. They complimented the “cool, urban vibe” of Warren, which led to conversations about affordable housing, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, he says.

Industrial heat pumps are heat-recovery systems that allow the temperature of waste-heat stream to be increased to a higher, more efficient temperature. Consequently, heat pumps can improve energy efficiency in industrial processes as well as energy savings when conventional passive-heat recovery is not possible. In this paper, possible ways of saving energy in the chemical industry are considered, the objective is to reduce the primary energy (such as coal) consumption of power plant. Particularly the thermodynamic analyses of integrating backpressure turbine of a power plant with distillation units have been considered. Some practical examples such as conventional distillation unit and heat pump are used as a means of reducing primary energy consumption with tangible indications of energy savings. The heat pump distillation is operated via electrical power from the power plant. The exergy efficiency of the primary fuel is calculated for different operating range of the heat pump distillation. This is then compared with a conventional distillation unit that depends on saturated steam from a power plant as the source of energy. The results obtained show that heat pump distillation is an economic way to save energy if the temperature difference between the overhead and the bottom is small. Based on the result, the energy saved by the application of a heat pump distillation is improved compared to conventional distillation unit. Key words: Distillation units; Heat integration; Exergy/energy system modelling.

At Diamond Bright Cleaning, our Fascia & Soffit Cleaning services can transform the appearance of your properties exterior, and help to maintain it in good condition.
Over a period of time algae, dirt, mildew and mould can build up on the exterior of your property.
One of the most awkward to reach places for this to build up on is the fascia and soffit. This build-up not only looks unsightly, but if left too long it can cause permanent staining.
We advise this to be done in conjuction with our gutter cleaning services so that we clean the inside of the guttering first before cleaning the exterior.
Once the gutters are clear and free flowing, we can start cleaning the exterior uPVC surface back to the sparkling white you remember.
Depending on the level of dirt and algae we sometimes use a foaming cleaning agent to loosen the dirt, but often we can achieve brilliant results using purified water alone.
Our high reach water fed poles combined with a bit of elbow grease allow us to clean gutters, fascia, soffit and even cladding around dormer windows and porches, and produce sparkling results every time.
If your uPVC has become stained and looks unsightly; we can help restore it to its original condition. We use the same purified water system that we use in cleaning windows leaving the glass crystal clean.
If not cleaned regularly, stains from algae & traffic film can become ingrained in your uPVC gutters. We make use of specialist detergents for uPVC cleaning to remove away these unsightly marks returning your fascia and soffit to its original glory.
Improve the look of your property by cleaning the UPVC Fascia & Soffits Today!

An additional sum of about ₹30 crore has been sanctioned for the district to be disbursed as compensation to drought affected farmers under the crop insurance scheme, according to Collector K. Rajamani.
“I was recently informed by the Principal Secretary, Agriculture, that the second phase of compensation has been sanctioned and banks in the district will get the money in the next four days. The compensation will be credited to the bank accounts of the farmers soon,” Mr.Rajamani informed the farmers at the grievances meeting.
As many as 22,777 farmers had insured their crops in an area of about 47,010 acres under the Prime Minister’s Crop Insurance Scheme last year. In the first phase, ₹26.23 crore was sanctioned as compensation to drought affected farmers and so far ₹23.85 crore has been disbursed to the farmers concerned. The remaining sum could not be disbursed due to discrepancies in bank account details provided by farmers. In some cases, the money has been returned from the banks.
“However, steps were being taken to rectify the problem and credit the compensation to the farmers accounts at the earliest,” he said as some of the farmers representatives complained that the compensation has not been given to all the affected farmers.
N. Veerasekaran, coordinator, Ayyan Vaical Pasanatharar Sangam, said although the insurance scheme was being implemented well, there was a need for proper listing of notified crops and notified areas in consultation with farmers.
Mr. Rajamani also disclosed that so far 5.21 lakh cubic metres of silt have been removed from about 257 irrigation tanks and ponds by farmers under the special permission granted by the government.
The last date for filing applications for obtaining farm power connections under the Tatkal scheme has been extended up to September 6.
District Revenue Officer A. Basheer disclosed that special camps would be held at the divisional level to carry out corrections in pattas, in cases where there were no objections, during September following representations from farmers complaining of mistakes.

Children peering out from a doorway as armed soldiers patrol outside their school in the Jewish quarter of the Marais district in Paris, France, Jan. 13, 2015.
PARIS (JTA)-Twenty-five years after he graduated from a public high school in the French capital, Stephane Tayar recalls favorably his time in one of the world's most thorough education systems.
As for many other French Jews his age, the state-subsidized upbringing has worked out well for Tayar, a 43-year-old communications and computers specialist. Eloquent but down to earth, he seems as comfortable discussing the complexities of French society as he is adept at fighting-curses, threats and all-for his motorcycle's place in the brutal traffic here.
"You learn to get along with all kinds of people-Muslims, Christians, poor, rich," Tayar said in recalling his school years. "You debate, you study, you get into fistfights. It's a pretty round education."
But when the time came for Tayar and his wife to enroll their own boy and girl, the couple opted for Jewish institutions-part of a network of dozens of private establishments with state recognition, hefty tuition and student bodies that are made up almost exclusively of Jews.
"Enrolling a Jewish kid into a public school was normal when I was growing up," Tayar said in a recent interview as he waited with two helmets in hand to pick up his youngest from her Jewish elementary school in eastern Paris. "Nowadays forget it; no longer realistically possible. Anti-Semitic bullying means it would be too damaging for any Jewish kid you put there."
"In the Paris region, there are virtually no more Jewish pupils attending public schools," said Kalifat, attributing their absence to "a bad atmosphere of harassment, insults and assaults" against Jews because of their ethnicity, and to the simultaneous growth of the Jewish education system.
Whereas most anti-Semitic incidents feature taunts and insults that often are not even reported to authorities, some cases involve death threats and armed assaults. In one incident from 2013, several students reportedly cornered a Jewish classmate as he was leaving their public school in western Paris. One allegedly called him a "dirty Jew" and threatened to stab the boy with a knife. A passer-by intervened and rescued the Jewish child.
The increase in schoolyard anti-Semitism in France, first noted in an internal Education Ministry report in 2004, coincided with an increase in anti-Semitic incidents overall. Prior to 2000, only a few dozen incidents were recorded annually in France. Since then, however, hundreds have been reported annually. Many attacks-and a majority of violent ones-are committed by people with a Muslim background, who target Jews as such or as payback for Israel's actions in what is known as the "new anti-Semitism."
In 2012, payback for Israel's actions in Gaza was the stated motivation of a jihadist who killed three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school in Toulouse. Since then, Jewish institutions across Europe and French Jewish schools especially have been protected by armed guards-most often soldiers toting automatic rifles.
In neighboring Belgium, the Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism has documented multiple incidents that it said were rapidly making Belgian public schools "Jew-free." Some blamed Belgian schools for being more reluctant than their French counterparts to punish pupils for anti-Semitic behavior.
The latest incident there involved a 12-year-old boy at a public school outside Brussels. Classmates allegedly sprayed him with deodorant cans in the shower to simulate a gas chamber. The boy's mother said it was an elaborate prank that also caused him burns from the deodorant nozzles.
In addition to charting anti-Semitism among students, watchdogs in France and Belgium are seeing for the first time in decades a growing number of incidents involving teachers-as victims and perpetrators.
Last month, the Education Ministry in France began probing a high school teacher who shared with her students anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on Facebook-including ones about the clout of the Jewish lobby in the United States and another about French President Francois Hollande's Jewish roots (he has none).
The atmosphere is pushing many French Jewish parents to leave for Israel, which is seeing record levels of immigration from France. Since 2012, 20,000 Jews have made the move. Their absence is already being felt in Jewish schools and beyond, said Kalifat, because "the people who are leaving are exactly the people who are involved in the Jewish community."
Some of those who left were responsible for developing France's Jewish education system long before anti-Semitism became a daily reality for French Jews, said Kalifat. More than 30 years ago he enrolled his own two children in a Jewish school "not because of anti-Semitism, which was not a problem back then, but simply to give them a more Jewish education," he said.
Jewish immigrants from North Africa to France had a major role in the growth of Jewish schools from a handful in the 1950s and '60s to the formation of Jewish education networks with dozens of institutions, said Kalifat-himself an Algeria-born Jew and the first North African Sephardi to be elected CRIF president.
"They developed all sectors of Jewish life, but Jewish schools more than anything," Kalifat said.
The effort has paid off in several ways. Last year, Jewish schools topped two French media rankings of the country's approximately 4,300 high schools. One was a Chabad institution; the other was part of the more liberal Alliance network.
"That parents like me effectively can't send their children to public schools is tragic," he said. "The only positive aspect I can see here is that anti-Semitic hatred drives us to make the financial sacrifice that will raise a generation that has much more Jewish culture and knowledge than our own."

For a long time, companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook and institutions like the Internet Archive have been building large-scale, long-term storage by assembling racks of servers full of disks connected via IP networks. As these systems scaled up, the major concern became the cost of keeping all this stuff. The primary cost drivers were the capital cost of the hardware and the power and cooling it required.
Back in 2009, a team from C-MU published FAWN: A Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes, showing that the power and cooling of storage could be radically reduced without sacrificing performance by, in effect, eliminating the servers and getting IP connectivity right to the storage media. In their case the media were a combination of a very low-power processor and a fairly small amount of flash. The media were accessed over the IP network via an API that exposed a key-value object store, which is very similar to the storage API in state-of-the-art storage systems such as OpenStack Swift. FAWN's focus was on performance; I explained where the performance was coming from in this 2010 blog post. In 2011 Ian Adams, Ethan Miller and I published DAWN: A Durable Array of Wimpy Nodes, showing that even if your focus was on long-term archival storage FAWN-like architectures made sense.
In recent years Dave Anderson of Seagate has several times pointed out that state-of-the-art disk drives actually have quite powerful, low-power CPUs on-board to run the disk firmware, which these days is a very substantial body of code. These processors are at least as powerful as the processors of the FAWN and DAWN proposals. There was even an attempt, starting in 2004 at ANSI T10, to provide the drives with an object storage command set. What the drives didn't have was IP networking.
An API implemented in Java, Python and Erlang for accessing media with IP connectivity and key-value storage semantics.
A simulator for these media so you can experiment with the API.
A 3.5" 5900RPM 4TB drive, available next year, that has 2x1Gb Ethernet connectivity as described by Chris Mellor at The Register. The drive appears to re-purpose the SAS connector to carry the Ethernet.
Having the storage device speak in keys and values means that there is less impedance mismatch between Swift (which is native object) and traditional drives (which speak blocks). This results in more efficiency and utilization.
What we have done at SwiftStack is incorporate the Kinetic drives into the OpenStack Swift storage system as open source. Then we use pools of computing resources to provide the full Swift services in the cluster (auditing, replication, request routing authentication, etc.).
What makes the Kinetic announcement especially interesting is that by up-levelling the media interface, it hides the details of the underlying media. The application doesn't know anything about how the objects are stored and how they are indexed.
I am way overdue for a blog post on developments in storage technology; I'm ashamed to admit that the last was a year ago. One thing I haven't commented on is that, in September, Seagate announced that the long-touted advent of Shingled Magnetic Recording technology had finally happened, and that they had shipped over 1M shingled drives. Tom Coughlin expects 5TB 3.5" shingled drives next year. One reason why shingling has been slow to take off is that it turns hard disk from a random-access into an append-only medium, and this has major impacts up the software stack from the disk driver via the file system all the way to the application. The importance of Kinetic in this context is obvious; it avoids the need to change all this code by allowing a very large class of applications to talk directly to the storage media, using the TCP/IP stack instead of the file system and the disk drivers. Because in the Kinetic framework the drive, not the operating system software, manages the physical location of the data, the difference in the location policies caused by the change from conventional to shingled drives is invisible to the application.
Will the wire protocol the media implement be an open standard? As far as I can see Seagate hasn't released this wire protocol, which is not a good sign.
The software they have released so far is not Open Source, which is not a good sign. Without the wire protocol spec, an alternate API implementation would depend on reverse-engineering. What is Seagate's licensing policy for the API implementation?
Seagate claims that the technology supports end-to-end integrity, so presumably the wire protocol does. But their API doesn't, which is not a good sign. How do applications use end-to-end integrity?
Nevertheless, even with these unresolved issues, Kinetic is a very important development.
1) The wire protocol will be released in the open. It is our goal to make this available to the community.
2) The Library software will be released open source.
(I made these statements publicly at the Basho Ricon-West conference yesterday).
3) Sorry, the API does have the ability to put a Tag field in the "EntryMetaData". This field is both preserved and checked by the drive on a regular basis. This is documented in the javadoc.
James, thanks for the corrections. Kinetic seems to suffer from some poor choices of name. It wasn't clear to me from the Javadoc that "Tag" meant integrity token, and I agree with Jeff Darcy when he says "That's fine for a key/value store or a deep archival store (the very opposite of "kinetic" BTW)" but I disagree with most of the rest of his post since he seems not to realize that the target market for this technology is precisely "a key/value store or a deep archival store".
One other issue I forgot to raise is the question of the drive connector. The storage media market has a long history of great benefits from non-proprietary media connectors. I assume that the re-purposing of the SAS connector is not encumbered with IP protection. But I for one would feel a lot better about adopting this technology for long-term storage if there were a second source for the media. And there's only one viable second source for Seagate's hard drives.
For the drive connector: I know of no IP restricting the connector only to only be used for SAS.

Healthcare is adapting to suit the changing needs and expectations of communities, patients and carers. NSW must meet the challenges of planning, funding, delivery and evaluation of services that are posed by an increased demand, an ageing population and the increased prevalence of chronic disease. Therefore, it is essential to identify initiatives that create better value healthcare, optimising the use of health resources while maintaining the safety and quality of patient care.
The Leading Better Value Care Program seeks to identify and implement opportunities for delivering better value care to the people of NSW within the context of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Triple Aim (health of a population, experience of care and the cost per capita).
Program opportunities are grouped into three categories: Better Value Healthcare, Commissioning and Contestability, and Workforce Capability. As immediate priorities, projects have been selected which align to existing work efforts that have been “road tested” to varying degrees across many LHDs. The implementation of the Leading Better Value Care Clinical Initiatives are the focus of this website.

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been shot through the face and had a fractured skull, wounds to his lower extremities and bone injuries on his left hand when he was caught hiding in a boat in a suburban backyard, according to the surgeon who treated him.
BOSTON (AP) ? Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been shot through the face and had a fractured skull, wounds to his lower extremities and bone injuries on his left hand when he was caught hiding in a boat in a suburban backyard, according to the surgeon who treated him.
The most severe injury was from a bullet that appeared to enter through the left inside of his mouth and exit the lower section of his face on the left side, Dr. Stephen Ray Odom said during a legal proceeding at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center three days after Tsarnaev's capture. A transcript of the testimony was unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court.
Odom described the face trauma as a "high-powered injury" that resulted in a skull-base fracture, injuries to his middle ear, the skull base, the pharynx and mouth. Tsarnaev also had wounds to his lower extremities and bone injuries to his left hand, Odom said.
Tsarnaev, 20, has pleaded not guilty to numerous charges in the April 15 bombing ? including using a weapon of mass destruction ? and faces a potential death sentence if convicted. The twin bombings near the finish line of the marathon killed three people and injured more than 260 others.
Tsarnaev's lawyer, Miriam Conrad, declined to comment on the newly released documents. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz also declined to comment.
During his arraignment last month, Tsarnaev's jaw appeared injured, and his left eye and cheek were still swollen. He also wore a cast covering his left forearm, hand and fingers for the seven-minute proceeding that marked his first appearance in public since his capture.
Odom said Tsarnaev, who was in the hospital's intensive care unit at the time of his first legal proceeding, was aware of where he was and knew that he has had multiple medical procedures.
"He knows that he has an injury to the neck and to the hand," Odom said.

There is a video game that I used to play called Mount & Blade. It’s a medieval, action, role playing game. When you start the game you get to choose the skills path, character class, background, and social status of your character. You also get to distribute knowledge and skill points into a wide variety of skill sets. Both physical and mental.
In the game you can trade, recruit, attack, defend, negotiate, rest, train soldiers, fortify, and read. As you progress, your character will gain experience points. As you reach certain experience points amounts, you will level up. You can even take time to drill your army, and your warriors in your army will even level up.
This is just like real life. As we progress through life, we chose the skills we learn. The more we practice a skill, the more times we run for office or campaigns we assist, the more experience we gain, and then we level up.
Want to learn how to knock on doors, or communicate our policies in a positive and persuasive way, or any myriad of skills? Knock on doors, talk to people, take the actions. The more people you talk with, the more communication experience points you will gain. Were you are able to get their contact information? Extra points. Persuade them to volunteer/contribute? Extra points. Want to gain experience points faster? Instead of only talking to one new person a day, talk to 10.
Are you too new and have a low-level of experience in your Libertarian Communications skillset? Awesome! Read books on Libertarian Communications. Read books on persuasion and relationship building. Build your experience level up to take on those hard bosses in your political game.
Do you have the desire to slay your opponent in a debate? Or will you go into the debate battle as a noob? The time you invest into preparation and practice will determine the results.
What I have learned is that our opponents (Republicans and Democrats), in most cases, have more experience than us (higher level), and that translates into a bigger support network (army and allies). However, we can build our campaigns and our local parties to a point where we can successfully challenge our opponents. The more action we take, the faster we will level up. We gain experience points, and we level up.
To win this war, we must fight a lot of battles (campaigns). We must recruit volunteers/contributors (army), and allies. However, we don’t have to win every battle, we just have to learn (level-up) and help our volunteers, contributors, and allies learn (level-up).
The higher the level of our communication and relationship building skills, the more people we will be able to persuade to vote for us. One vote at a time wins elections. Level-up!
I’ve volunteered with LP campaigns every year since 2011. Every year I’ve gained experience and leveled up. I’ve experienced the thrill of victory as well as the not as thrilling feeling of defeat. Or as I like to call it, not winning as much. I’ve also felt burnout, as many activists over the years have.
I’ve learned to take breaks after the November election until Jan/Feb. This year I took time off, came back and just didn’t feel inspired to continue. This last year was different. A close friend of mine passed away who I met through the LP and after it happened, I just didn’t feel that I had the energy I used to have. I slowed down. I took a break from social media and refocused on myself and some old personal/business goals I had set.
During my break, I have been catching up on reading and writing, improving my content creation skills, and continuing to build my statewide network in Washington. I was recharging my batteries for what will be my next big push. I’ve slowly started helping campaigns again, and have reviewed my candidate recruiting plans from 2014, 2015, and 2016. I feel refreshed and if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I have reflected on my time and energy invested into the cause of liberty. I have asked myself, is it worth it? And the answer is most definitely YES.
Even though volunteering our time for the cause of liberty is not always easy, or fun, or exciting. Sometimes it is quite the opposite. Sometimes, it’s draining, boring, and frustrating. However, I look at some of our most prominent candidates and I see highly functioning campaigns, professional marketing pieces, and well written press releases. I see activists who were brand new to the LP just a few years ago, now in leadership positions taking massive action towards our mission.
When I joined the Libertarian Party I joined because I wanted to create a society void of coercion, victimless crimes, and authoritarian policies. I joined because I felt that Libertarianism is the only moral and ethical political philosophy in existence. I joined because I believed the Libertarian Party is the best vehicle to implement Libertarian policy and was the only political party that represents me.
However, sometimes life has a way of changing our plans. It’s okay to take breaks. It’s okay to modify plans and timeframes. For a year, a month, or a day. It’s healthy to reflect and recharge.
Because when we get active again, we are stronger and better prepared than we ever were.
When I started the Libertarian Leadership Academy back in 2014, I had a vision of helping to elect thousands of Libertarians from all around the country. Fast forward to today, I still hold that same vision.
Every campaign we run or assist with, provides us with opportunity for growth. Brings us one step closer to make our vision a reality. Our vision of creating a society free from coercion. A society with more prosperity and opportunity for more people will become a reality as long as we maintain our committment to it.
Every campaign is an opportunity to gain new skills and master the ones we have already started learning. Each campaign is just one battle is a much bigger war. The only way to win is by building up our knowledge and experience base, and then empowering other Libertarians to do the same.
As campaign season heats up, I want us all to remember that the efforts we put into this campaign season is an investment for future campaigns as well.
This year I've given talks and training for the Libertarian Party of Bexar County TX, Libertarian Party of Iowa, Libertarian Party of Alabama, and the Libertarian Party of Texas. I will also be speaking at a breakout event at the National Libertarian Party Convention in New Orleans at the end of June. Right now we have 303 members in the academy and I am personally coaching 4 campaigns.

When editing a page, the WikiEdit toolbar doesn't appear even though "gui_editor" is set to 1 in the configuration (wikka.config.php).
Your server is capable of rewriting URLs but this is configured incorrectly.
That leaves problems with mod_rewrite configuration which are solvable.
i.e., value 1, not 0.
If all these check out, you should see an editor toolbar (it may not work if your browser isn't completely compatible though).

This is, quite possibly, the most random mix of photos ever, but it's a sampling of what my camera captured the past few days. I was sad to say goodbye to my sister when she left on Friday, but have a week's worth of memories to tide me over until I see her next (in late April, when we head up to Ithaca for her lead performance in the theater department's spring musical, Baby).
A particularly special highlight was her visit to my classroom. I wish I could share those photos and the instant obsession on the part of my students: they called her "Miss Emma" and were completely mesmerized by the fact that she is a singer/actress. You should have seen the awe radiate across their faces when she sang The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World" (as requested by them). She spent the entire day, which was equally as fun for her as it was nice for me to share what I do.
I am on spring break from work these next two weeks and am feeling happy about having a more flexible schedule. I have a fair amount of writing to complete as well as various appointments and household projects, but I'm most excited about the extra downtime to enjoy long walks with my camera, elaborate breakfasts and lazy afternoons at the local coffee shop with a book. Luxurious rarities.
I'm also stoked about wearing nothing but my fluffy white bathrobe. What can I say, I live on the edge.
I've not yet tried the new Starbuck's mini treats, but I totally need to!
Enjoy your two weeks off - totally jealous right now!
P.S. Your sister is gorgeous! And, as for the little something you'e posted - thank you in advance...how exciting!
i LOVE that brass doe! and your sis and you look just alike :) random photo posts are my fave.
you and your sister are too cute! and look so much alike!
sounds like you had a great time with your sister!
A two week spring break-you lucky girl! Enjoy the bathrobe and checking lots of your to-do list; it sounds divine!
Also, those petite treats might have made me just drool. No big deal.
uhhh, red velvet whoopie pie!? ok that may just entice me enough to go to a starbucks hahah.
haha nothing sounds better than living in a fluffy white bathrobe for 2 weeks :) enjoy this break my dear! and your lil sis is the cutest.
Enjoy your time off..and your sis is gorgeous-I see your smile!
"Luxuries rarities" is a good way of putting it. There IS a reason why the bathrobe was invented, and it ain't the shower.
I love that you blogged about the new Starbucks treats! I've already broken down and had the red velvet whoopie pie and the tiramisu cake pop. Both were deeelish.
I must confess to buying the lemon square and dividing it into 4. My kids were less than impressed to get SUCH a tiny treat. "Mum! It was already small before you cut it!"
Hanging out in a fluffy white bathrobe sounds like just the thing to me. Lovely.
I always think it's hilarious that everyone thinks Emma and I look so much alike. We don't see it, but we've been hearing it our whole lives! Thanks for your sweet comments, all.

Regardless if free agent Jay Cutler finds a landing spot in the offseason, it looks like the former Bears quarterback will still have a job. Cutler reportedly will make appearances on wife Kristin Cavallari’s new reality show.
The former “Hills” star is set to return to her reality-show roots with a new show based on her fashion business and life in Nashville, TMZ reports. Word is Cutler will be on the show, which is expected to begin later this year on E!
A lot might depend on whether Cutler is able to hook up with a team in the offseason. The 34-year-old quarterback came out of retirement to sign a one-year, $10-million deal with the Miami Dolphins after starter Ryan Tannehill went down with an injury last season. Cutler was 6-8 in the 14 games he started and had his typical middle-of-the-pack year.
While Cutler might make some cameos, don’t expect to see the couple’s three children on the show. Cavallari recently said she wouldn’t expose her kids to that.
If Cutler doesn’t receive free-agent interest, he’ll likely go back to Fox Sports where he was training to become a game analyst before the Dolphins called last season.

The Office of The Child Advocate, established in 2018 as an independent agency to oversee the Division of Children, Youth and Families, issued its first annual report recently. Among its recommendations: The state should fund more DCYF staff to help relieve overloaded case workers – a problem that has long beset the agency. But OCA Director Moira O'Neill says the job of protecting children includes the broader community -- though not all Granite Staters may realize they're required by law to report suspicions of child neglect and abuse.
Below are excerpts (edited slightly for clarity) from The Exchange’s recent interview with Moira O'Neill.
People also may not feel comfortable getting involved in making reports about children. There’s a wonderful initiative called "Know and Tell" run by the Granite State Children’s Alliance. They’re going around the state teaching everyone what their responsibilities are, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse or neglect, and how to tell about it.
Generally in other states the law requires only certain types of people to be mandated reporters -- people who would be in the know: health care professionals, teachers, coaches. New Hampshire has probably taken the lead early on in saying we all need to be responsible for children and we all need to recognize when children are in trouble.
DCYF has had, in most states, a pretty bad reputation for taking people’s children. So DCYF is responsible for responding to abuse and neglect and getting children out of harm’s way. So that does translate into sometimes removing children from a family. Although that’s not the focus of the agency, that’s what we hear about. Parental rights are so important. Families are sacrosanct -- so when the state intervenes and takes a child that’s very uncomfortable for folks. So no one wants to be that person who makes someone lose their child. A lot of people don’t want to get involved. And some people are just worried they may be making a mistake.
We’re not all expected to be experts on this. If we just feel like it’s not right, we call DCYF because they have experts on the phone; they don’t mind if you call with something that doesn’t rise to the level. In fact, they screen out a lot of calls because it’s not abuse and neglect -- but they do appreciate people calling and sharing their concerns.
So it’s important that we encourage people to have the confidence to say, I think there may be something going on here. And hopefully what DCYF will do -- with its latest transformation -- is help more of the community understand it’s a helping agency and not a policing agency.
Last year we got money for voluntary services so that caseworkers are equipped to actually help families. Sometimes it’s something as simple as paying the mortgage. Sometimes families are under stress -- maybe there’s mental illness or drug addiction -- and that’s affecting the ability to parent. But if a case worker can help a parent get it together, the child may not be abused. They can’t help, if they don’t know that a child is at risk.
The Office of the Child Advocate is an independent agency established to oversee DCYF and promote the best interests of children. One of the most difficult things was making sure it’s understood to people throughout government that the office is independent -- that is very unique in the state.
Read the DHHS response to OCA report. And the OCA's response to the letter from DHHS.
New Hampshire’s Office of Child Advocate is endorsing a bill to create 77 positions to better protect children.
Moira O’Neill says 57 of those positions are for child protective service workers. The rest are for supervisors.
The Senate Finance Committee has a hearing on the legislation Tuesday. It would cost about $8.5 million over two years, with $2.5 million coming from federal funds.
New Hampshire’s legislative leaders voiced support for strengthening the role of the Child Advocate, an office established in 2018 to reform the state’s child welfare system.
The call to action comes two days after the Office of the Child Advocate released its first annual report that proposes additional caseworkers and training.

From ICTMN: Federal Recognition Reform Moves Forward — Promised Land .
“We’re real happy about (the proposed regulations). It’s taken us longer than we thought, but these things are always difficult and we’re using a lot of process and that always takes a lot of time,” Washburn told ICTMN.
The proposed regulations maintain the most significant changes in the draft concerning the toughest two of the seven mandatory criteria a tribe currently must meet to be acknowledged – proof that it has had maintained continuous political authority over a distinct community of members from historical times to the present. The proposed new rule would require tribes to prove continuous political authority and community since 1934 instead of 1789, aligning the review with the federal government’s repudiation of the allotment and assimilation policies of the late 1800s and early part of the 1900s and eliminating the requirement that an external entity identify the group as Indian since 1900.
The proposed new rule is intended to maintain the rigorous integrity needed to establish a nation-to-nation relationship between an Indian tribe and the federal government in a process that is timely, efficient and transparent.

New York, NY - 11 Apr 2006: BMC Software, Fujitsu Limited, HP and IBM today announced plans to create a new interoperability specification designed to enable customers to federate and access information from their complex, multi-vendor IT infrastructures. The companies plan to submit a draft specification to an industry standards organization later this year.
Working together, the companies will develop an open, industry-wide specification for sharing information between Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs) and other data repositories. As a multi-vendor specification, it will provide companies with greater choice and flexibility in terms of adding new hardware, applications, and middleware.
Today, information about an IT infrastructure, such as which server runs a company's human resources application and who has access to the application, is scattered across the organization in different formats, making it difficult to access and share. Yet doing so is often critical, especially for organizations grappling with compliance and governance issues.
An industry standard for federating and accessing IT information will integrate communication between CMDBs, which hold details related to the components of an IT infrastructure, including information about servers, storage devices, networks, middleware, applications and data. An accurate CMDB can help an IT staff understand the relationships and dependencies among these various components. However, with no standard way for different vendors' CMDBs and other tools to share data, IT information must be collected manually -- a time-consuming and costly process.
With a standard way for vendors and tools to share and access configuration data, organizations can use their CMDBs to create a more complete and accurate view of IT information spread out across multiple data sources. This makes it easier to keep track of changes to an IT environment, such as when the last time an application was updated, or if there have been changes made to critical configuration information. It also helps organizations better understand the impact of changes they make to the IT environment. A financial services company, for example, could use its federated CMDBs to understand how deploying a new online banking program might impact other parts of the business that share the same resources -- even in a multi-vendor environment.
The specification is intended to support the procedures that organizations use to manage their IT operations, such as those described by the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), a customizable set of best practices.
"As the CMDB continues to move toward the mainstream, the time is ripe to discuss standardizing across industries and organizations. As the value of a true, federated, non-proprietary CMDB continues to be tested and proven, enterprises will expect increasingly more efficient implementation, and will continue to look to industry-leading organizations to work together to meet their interoperability needs."
"Standardization of the CMDB is of critical importance to improve the efficiency of IT processes and to achieve the integration of tools and IT processes in multi-vendor environments. We believe that open standards in the area of IT management will benefit both the customer and the industry, and we welcome the opportunity to work with other industry leaders to accelerate CMDB standardization. We plan to provide Fujitsu Systemwalker IT management products incorporating the new CMDB standard."
"Every enterprise needs to manage its IT services delivery and CMDB is a critical component of the process. By working with our partners in developing industry standards for CMDB, HP is helping customers face the challenges of maintaining compliance, aligning with the business and automating IT processes."
"CMDBs are coming of age, yet interoperability isn't where it should be. That's why it's important that these companies, industry leaders in IT service management, are coming together to create an open model that will make it easier for organizations to view, track and change information that is essential for efficient and compliant management of their entire infrastructure."
"itSMF sees this initiative as great news for organizations that are planning to implement ITIL best practices and supports this group of key IT leaders who are working together to forge standards in this area. Such standards will go a long way towards making CMDBs and other ITIL related software tools more effective in helping customers better understand and manage their complex IT environments and should be of significant benefit to all involved parties."

Last Friday we caught up with the inaugural Critical YAK, an informal aquatic gathering hosted by Matt Yauch, Reed Martin and Stephanie Simonson. After sharing the Cuyahoga River Safety Task Force's safety card and checking Marine Traffic, the kayakers put in at Cleveland Metroparks' Merwin's Wharf dock, paddled 1.7 miles down the Cuyahoga River out to Lake Erie, hung a left and beached at Wendy Park for some fun at Whiskey Island Still and Eatery before returning to Merwin's Wharf.
We chatted with one of the organizers, Matt Jauch, on how the idea for Critical YAK got rolling (think Critical Mass). We imagine we'll be seeing Critical YAK's posse on the Cuyahyoga River some Friday in August!

Brisbane Roar's derby clash with Gold Coast United at Suncorp Stadium has all the makings of a Boxing Day thriller.
Brisbane hold a comfortable lead at the top of the Hyundai A-League ladder, riding a streak of 17-games undefeated, but the coach assures motivation levels are peaking.
The Roar, who are yet to lose at home in 2010-11, are expecting their biggest turnout of the season, and coach Ange Postecoglou wants to make sure the crowd is rewarded with a first ever win over Gold Coast United.
"Both clubs want to make it a big fixture, for sure. Yeah, there's only three points on offer, but for our supporters and Gold Coast supporters it means a lot more. And for the two clubs I think it means (more)," Postecoglou said.
"You'd like to think with this fixture we both get our biggest crowd of the year. We need to build on that and you only do that by having some rivalry there."
"That's one that we had pencilled in early in the year, particularly the one at home, and it's one that we're looking forward to," he said.
Aside from the atmosphere and sense of occasion attached to the contest, Brisbane will be looking at the match as a finals preview, with both teams expecting to feature in March.
"Apart from the rivalry, they're a team that's going to be playing finals football. They're almost guaranteed a top four spot."
"We're all jockeying those positions in top four, but there's no doubt that come the business end they'll be there. It's a good measure for us and we're certainly looking at it as a good measure," Postecoglou said.
When the sides met earlier this season in the first round of competition, Bleiberg was left with a strong impression, and the Roar's dominant season seems to have only heightened his respect.
"After the first game that we drew with them nil-all, we were in the dressing sheds and I said to the players that what they did to us is the way I would like them to play. If we're trying to imitate the Roar, that's my opinion of them," he said.
"They're playing good football, the football that I would like to play, and they deserve to be where they are. I can't be more honest than this."
But while Bleiberg admits his former club is playing the better brand of football, he said United had enough quality on the roster to make it a competitive match.
"At the moment we're not playing the best football as they play. They're playing better football than we are, but I think that we have the personnel to match them," he said.

This playful spectacle is the centerpiece of our event! Our skeleton processional honors traditions where community members in skeleton costumes and masks meander through villages to visit the graves of their ancestors. Opened by the Consul General of Mexico and City Officials, mariachi musicians lead the way as this processional of thousands of skeletons streams from Huizenga Plaza west along Riverwalk.

Our girls are very lucky. When it was said that it takes a village to raise a child, it was referring to my girls. They are blessed to have many people around them that love them and want them to be the best they can be.
My mom and dad are two of those people and my sister is another. Whenever we get in a bind, they all are eager and willing to help out. When Kim took a week off to do MD Camp, the three juggled their schedules to watch the girls and run them to all of their lessons.
On one of the days that we needed help, mom and Aunt Kat took the girls (and the boys) to the zoo. The four (plus Baby Z) had a blast. They highly recommend the bird show. Hogle Zoo actually has some great exhibits and shows. My mom has a grandparents pass to the zoo, so they are looking forward to an early morning admission to watch the animals start out their day, and other fun special activities for members. If you are in the Greater Salt Lake area, I suggest you check out their member information. Oh wait, don't do that. We like the small crowds.
Thanks mom and Aunt Kat for a fun zoo day. The girls had a ball.
ahhh, thanks. and i still have hundreds more pictures from that day for you. i'll bring you a disc tonight.

As reported by American Songwriter, musician and songwriter Tony Joe White—the writer behind “Polk Salad Annie” and “Rainy Night In Georgia”—has died. Though not necessarily a household name himself, White’s work was covered by Elvis Presley, Tina Turner, Time McGraw, Ray Charles, Kenny Chesney, and many others. White was 75.
The album wasn’t a runaway hit at first, and even “Polk Salad Annie” was initially deemed a failure, but it gradually began to develop an audience and by the ‘70s it had become a fixture of Elvis Presley’s live shows. By that point, White had also released a follow-up album to Black And White called Continued that featured “Rainy Night In Georgia.” Brook Benton covered that song and took it to the top spot on Billboard’s soul charts in 1970.
Earlier this year, White released Bad Mouthin’, his final album. White says he always thought of himself as a blues musician, but Bad Mouthin’ was the first time he tried to release a proper blues record.

A few more captures from my encounter with this fox a couple weeks ago. It was absolutely gorgeous with its full, winter coat. The contrast of that red fur against the beige stubble in the field and white snow was stark and really made the fox pop.
As common as foxes are, they are not particularly common to photograph so I am definitely keeping my eyes out. If anyone has a line on any along the Colorado Front Range, particularly in the north Denver metro area, please do drop me a note.
Going back to a couple of weeks ago when I spent an evening with this Red Fox family. The little kit had a hard time keeping up with its bigger siblings and was quick to cling to mom when she came back for a meal. I haven’t been able to see them since as she moved the den but am hoping I get another chance in the coming weeks.
Oh my! Just look at those little faces! Already having two dogs, we have no interest in any other pets but my wife said that we could definitely take one of these home. Haha! Of course we can’t and wouldn’t but they are so irresistible and adorable.
I revisited this den earlier this week after a couple of previous attempts where I came up empty handed. This time I had much better luck as I was greeted by these two and six of their siblings. All eight were bounding around and playing in a display that had me grinning ear to ear.
At one point, these two ventured apart from the crowd, investigating this new world around them. It was then that I snapped this picture of them.

Clifford Smith, better known to reggae and dancehall fans as Mr Vegas, has had a career spanning 20 years at the very top. From his debut hit ‘Nike Air’ which topped the chart in his native Jamaica, to international success in the US, Japan and Europe, he has never been far away from the riddim.
Mr Vegas’ success was almost instantaneous, and soon the whole world seemed to be dancing to his unique vibes. His follow up single, ‘Heads High’ was a number one on the reggae charts on five continents, reached 69 on the Billboard R&B chart and earned him a MOBO award as well as significant attention from the likes of MTV.
The hit singles and albums started to flow as smoothly as his riddims, with his debut album, Heads High, followed by Damn Right and Pull Up, each strengthening his grip on the reggae and dancehall charts, as well helping him to break into the Billboard Hot 100.
Passionate about his music, Mr Vegas has performed at the top reggae festivals across the world as well as touring extensively. He also led the Save Reggae Foundation campaign to encourage DJs to play more reggae on mainstream radio.
To the disappointment of his legion of fans, he retired from music in 2008. However that disappointment was short lived, with Mr Vegas returning in 2012 with his own label and a host of top new tracks, including an all-star remix The Voices of Sweet Jamaica to celebrate 50 years of independence. Fifteen years after his first MOBO, Mr Vegas was nominated again in 2012, showing the enduring appeal of his infectious sounds.

This month’s edition of Custom PC includes, as usual, my five-page Hobby Tech column covering the Dremel 3000 Four-Star Kit, the CHIP and PocketCHIP microcomputers, and the conclusion of the Arduino-versus-Arduino saga – in a happy ending, I’m thrilled to say.
Rotary tools like the Dremel 3000 are one of those things you don’t think you need until you get one. It’s been a long time since I played with a proper Dremel-branded example, and this month’s review was a fantastic excuse to get myself up to speed with the changes the platform has enjoyed.
Ignoring the poor-quality ‘toolbox’ the kit comes in, I was particularly excited by the EZ-SpeedClic system. My original Dremel-like tool – a Black & Decker Wizard – had long been abandoned after frustrations with the tiny screw which attaches cut-off and grinding discs to the equally tiny mandrel. EZ-SpeedClic does away with that: the discs’ reinforced centres just twist and snap onto a clever sprung holder. Coupled with some shiny new accessories, I could see why people might want to upgrade from older or rival models.
The CHIP and PocketCHIP, meanwhile, came as more of a surprise. Like many, I was dismissive of NextThingCo’s inaugural crowdfunding campaign; the idea of a $9 fully-functional microcomputer when the Raspberry Pi had only just got the things down below $30 seemed laughable, and many in the industry suggested it was an outright fraud or at least a loss-leader to be offset by future sales at a higher price.
Proving the critics wrong, though, NextThingCo launched the $9 CHIP – albeit requiring add-on cables and adaptors to get a picture out of the thing – and followed it up with the PocketCHIP, an open hardware proof-of-concept which turns the CHIP into a surprisingly capable hand-held computer straight out of the early 90s.
Finally, regular readers will remember my coverage of the legal battle between Arduino.cc and Arduino.org which had given birth to the Genuino trademark, and the follow-up piece in Issue 159 covering Pimoroni’s decision to drop all Arduino and Genuino products as a result. The final page of this month’s column is, hopefully, the last I will have to write on that particular topic: the two companies have agreed to settle their disputes, join forces, and work together under a single Arduino brand – meaning, of course, that Genuino-branded products are likely to vanish from the market in due course.
All this, and stuff written by people other than myself, can be found at your local newsagent, supermarket, or on the electronic shelf substitutes of services such as Zinio.

One of the most talented musicians of his time, Fred McDowell performed to large crowds all over the United States and Europe for several decades. He also spent most of his life working at a service station in Como, Mississippi, where I first approached him. This was in 1967. Fred couldn’t have been more excited about doing a recording session and insisted we hire Johnny Woods, his old friend and a local legend, to accompany him on harp.
No one in the area had seen Johnny in about either years, but Fred had heard he was back in town. Three hours on a dirt road later, we pulled up to a dilapidated shack in a town called Senatobia and found Johnny Woods – who I later found to be a cordial, gentle man, forty-something, one hell of a harp player – passed out on the front porch.
Crammed inside the two-room house were fifteen or twenty men boisterously enjoying their Sunday afternoon, drinking and shooting craps. “Hey, Shake ‘Em, what you doing?” they greeted Fred, who is best known in the area for his performance of “Shake ‘Em on Down.” When Fred sat down with his guitar and a bottleneck, everyone joined in. A couple of songs later, Woods dragged himself in, still in a haze so thick you could see it in his eyes. He started rummaging through his pockets for his harmonica, and when Fred launched into “Shake ‘Em on Down,” Johnny’s shrill harmonica joined the whang of the guitar to make a sound powerful enough to bring the walls down. We arranged for Woods to meet us at Fred’s house the following evening.
Woods never showed that night, so we spent the next few days trying to track him down. We finally found him at a barbeque, stopped behind a car sneaking a swig from a friend’s bottle of corn. Wodds agreed to go right then to a nearby house to record.
It was hard to believe that these two men had not played together in eight years. No practice was necessary; there were no second takes. They sat facing each other while Fred gave Johnny instructions under his breath. The veins in Fred’s face bulged as he sang and played, and the spit drooled from Johnny’s harmonica, which might as well have been a natural extension of his mouth. It is an honest and electrifying thrill to present two for the greatest living blues men together, on tape, for you, and the rest of the world to hear.

Keep a record of all of your assets across one or many locations. Maintain a detailed inventory of serial numbers, makes and models. Use the system to manage your assets life cycle, understanding the value of each asset as it begins to get older, as well as identifying when the asset is likely to be beyond the recommended end of life period. Use the work request and PPM schedule services to manage maintenance and repairs of your assets.
Assigning categories across your assets, and within all of your locations, provides an effective way to report and group information at a management summary level. Identify the value you might have on all of your I.T. equipment or maybe pull together a summary of the life expectancy of all of your hygiene hand dryers to identify any upcoming and future replacement investment needs.
The system will allow you to manage your assets across one or many locations, allowing you to login to a single system and review what is going on across your entire organisation. Within each location you can also break things down further into sub-locations, so maybe the different areas of a leisure centre or the differing rooms and floors within a large conference suite facility. This allows you to report and compare between locations and direct resources and possibly funding where it is most needed.
Ensure that you are keeping on top of routine maintenance, adhering to agreed service levels and ensuring health and safety compliance of your assets is being provided at the highest level possible. Maintain a schedule of when checks need to be carried out across many of your sites and facilities, whether they are daily, weekly, monthly or less frequent, you’ll be notified of all PPM tasks that need to be carried out at the point they need to be. Have confidence that you are meeting appropriate guidelines with all of your assets, carrying out routine maintenance and identify and track any problems or work requests that may need to be followed up. The system will also monitor to see whether PPM tasks are being carried out against defined timescales, indicating when tasks are carried out as scheduled or pinpointing if any have been missed or completed but late.
Providing a method of reporting and tracking any fault with any asset all the way through to completion. An effective way for recording issues raised through staff inspections, routine PPM maintenance tasks or notified to you via customers, ensuring everything is managed through to a final conclusion. All logs against an asset can be assessed against a priority and severity, identifying a timescale expectation for resolution, as well as being able to assign it to a member of staff, engineer or maybe even an external contractor.
An efficient way of carrying out regular inspections at precise times of the day, may be a routine set of checks that need to be carried out on a regular or ad-hoc basis. The system will allow you to identify any checks that need to be done during a given day and across a given site, each check being logged and marked as “acceptable” or “unacceptable”. A notes section allows for the capturing of any unexpected findings and a way to trigger future checks to see if the unacceptable situation has now been addressed. Quickly and easily identify any checks that have been missed or not carried out when required, providing a way of ensuring that all inspections needing to be done are being completed in a timely manner.
A place to create your own customised technical logs, in a similar manner to how you might use a spreadsheet to log technical data, but in a more accessible and easily shared manner. Allow users to share technical data, whether it’s information for reading and processing or whether it is a place for people to add to a technical log over a period of time. You can completely customise any number of logs that you require, in the same manner as you define your own columns in a spreadsheet. Unlike spreadsheets, all updates can be logged and timestamped for the user making the changes, ensuring everything updated can be traced back to who and when the change was made.
The storage facility is a secure cloud based library where you can upload any type of file you feel appropriate to be stored, saved and shared centrally across one or many different sites. Upload manuals, images and reports to a central location, providing access from desktop and even when out and about using mobile devices. You can create your own storage structure, just as you would any other file storage system on a network, allowing you to access to your own structure of folders and sub-folders containing the uploaded files of your choosing.
There is a reporting capability to ensure that you can generate real-time reports as a management summary of everything being updated and controlled within the WAM system. Whether you want to review the amount of work requests currently open or running beyond given SLAs at one or many of your sites, or maybe you want to report on how the PPM schedule is going at a given site and what aspects of PPMs have been missed or carried out late.
We have developed a connected and disconnected native App that means you can carry WAM with you on any mobile device when out and about. So, whether you are wandering around a leisure centre carrying out inspections, or visiting remote sporting venues to carry out routine maintenance, you can be sure that you’ll have all the data you need accessible straight away on the device you take with you. Just make sure you synchronise your device if you plan to go somewhere with no mobile connectivity and the App will take with you the data from the central WAM system so you can review and update it when you are out and about. No need to make notes or take pen and paper with you, everything can now be done electronically in the same way as if you were sat at your desk.
Speed up inspections by using QR codes and your mobile device to scan an asset or locations within a building, and the WAM system wil be able to immediately identify what it is, or where you are and take you directly to the relevant area of the WAM system allowing update of checks there and then. The QR code scanning facility is available in the online and App versions of WAM, so if you have Wi-Fi or 3G/4G then you can use the online version, otherwise take the App with you.

Just a simple moment of comfort. Fresh out of the shower, snuggled up in an uber cozy sweater. Sometimes things as simple as this are worthy of our attention.
I am happy to report my sweet little friend Isabel is doing wonderful after her surgery. She is recovering great and is such a trooper. My time in Dallas felt so short after waiting for it for months to arrive. I'm so happy everything went okay.
Since we have been home we have been busy making our pre-order shirts, catching up on orders & emails, and trying to squeeze in a bit of normal life in between.
Today I am so very grateful for the very real things in life... friendships that are unconditional, hope in desperate situations, and the breath of life. xo.

Well it has been a busy week – I have got to grips with the numerous roundabouts and nearly know my way round Cwmbran!
I met with Steve Williams the Ecologist from Torfaen council who was extremely helpful, telling me about the various different habitats all in and close to Cwmbran. We visited a number of places which I would never have found on my own. I have chosen to focus on five different habitats: ancient woodland, meadow, water’s edge, upland and one other which is not decided yet. I have gathered a range of different plants which I will work with,these are sorted and drying, meanwhile I am doing research into the different traditional footwear in Wales.
I also visited the the National Botanic Garden of Wales and met with Bruce Langridge, Head of Interpretation. We had a really interesting chat about the function of a contemporary Botanic garden and the different ways in which we can open up the wonderful world of plants to more people.
I visited St.Fagans National history museum, a huge collection of historic buildings from all different periods throughout Wales, extremely interesting and very atmospheric with fires burning in the hearths and someone in each house to explain the history while your eyes got accustomed to the darkness.
I am going back to Skye tomorrow and have left the studio/gallery with a few different things to see in my absence. Ongoing to see is the plant of the day which needs to be observed using the hand lens provided, the past plants are now hung on a string beside it and cast wonderful shadows. There is a small tableaux laid out on a plinth which is made using some of the plants gathered from around Cwmbran during the week. There is a wall of work in progress, experiments made using the found plants, some photographs and notes as well as the plants which I have gathered during the week sorted and laid out into different habitat locations. There are also three selected plants which hang upside down at eye level, giving the visitor a way to look more closely at these ‘weeds’.

WHAT: This essential meeting will dive into the details of the upcoming BSA hearing scheduled for the 10th of April and YOUR critical participation.
WHY: The developer of the 58th Street construction site has applied to the BSA to be “grandfathered” under the old zoning. If the BSA approves the application, the developer would have permission to construct the megatower. It is critical for us to show the BSA that the community objects to granting the approval.
All supportive ERFA attendees shall be heard.
Bus transportation c/o ERFA will be provided on a first come, first served basis leaving at 8:15 AM on the morning of April 10th, sharp.
Please consider lending your seat to the elderly or disabled and consider public transportation.
Please send a letter to Chairman Margery Perlmutter of the Board of Standards & Appeals that states your belief that they must NOTmake an exception for the East 58th Street megatower known as “Sutton 58,” or 430 East 58th Street. The new, legislated, and protective zoning was voted on and intended for the whole of this neighborhood and community without deviation.

p>In 1983, Suzuki introduced the world's first 4-wheel ATV. Today, Suzuki ATVs are everywhere. From the most remote areas to the most everyday tasks, you'll find the KingQuad powering a rider onward. Across the board, our KingQuad lineup is a dominating group of ATVs.
Taking advantage of Suzuki’s three-decades-plus experience with four-wheelers, the 2018 Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi is designed for phenomenal performance on the trail or on the job. Its fuel-injected engine features a twin-spark-plug cylinder head with iridium, projection-type spark plugs, and refined intake and exhaust cam profiles for quick starting in cold weather and smooth, strong overall performance. The KingQuad’s advanced chassis lets you float over rough obstacles with ease while still being able to haul or tow what you need to get the job done.
For the true outdoor enthusiasts, the 750AXi is offered in True Timber camouflage to help you blend in when you don’t want to be seen.

They called him "doubting Thomas" because he needed to see the physical scars of his Lord before he would believe.
Christ obliged him, but told the disciples that blessed are those who believe but do not see.
In the 2000-plus years since the experience, Christians have pursued the Lord on faith, not sight, but in a new film, God makes an appearance.
"I had been looking for a way into a film about faith that was more than just platitudes," An Interview With God writer Ken Aguado says. "I wanted to go deeper. And inspired I was—writing the first draft in only a few weeks. It literally flowed through me and onto the page."
His fictional script follows war journalist Paul Asher, who struggles to deal with the after-effects of his experiences, a failing marriage and his dying faith upon his return from Afghanistan.
Determined to numb his pain with work, Asher throws himself into the story of a lifetime—an interview with a mysterious man claiming to be God.
"I would say the interview is less a symbol and more of a device," Aguado says. "Really, it's just an extrapolation of the conversation we try to have every day but, in this case, it's an actual sit-down Q-and-A session! That said, as a script device, an interview scenario allowed me to go deeper into matters of faith and theology, without being contrived."
Though many believers may question their faith, few have the chance to engage with the Lord face to face. Asher's opportunity allows him to see the reality of Christ working in the midst of trials. It's a plot in which some may find comfort.
"On the one hand, it's all about real life in the sense that I was trying to dramatize a realistic, relatable character grappling with the life challenges that tests his faith," Aguado sasy. "On the other hand, the lead is in his 20s and educated about faith, but he also has the skeptical curiosity of a journalist. So maybe more Millennial apologetic, which might appeal more to some viewers than others."
Giving Films produced the film, which will be in theaters Aug. 20-22.
The films profits will be donated to charities, including FaithBridge, Children's Alliance for Orphans and Sunshine on a Ranney Day.
"I hope this doesn't sound egotistical, but there are more spiritual lessons in this film than any film in history. See the film, let it wash over you. Discuss it with your friends. I think most of the lessons will come then, after the 96-minute run-time of the film," Aguado says.
At the film's conclusion, viewers will experience an engaging panel discussion based on the film's inspiring themes featuring nationally syndicated radio host Eric Metaxas, faith and culture writer Jonathan Merritt and Inside Edition correspondent Megan Alexander.
"Many of us have questions around life and faith, although we might be afraid to admit we have them. We are really excited to see what conversations this film sparks!" said Harrison Powell, vice president of development for Giving Films.
The film stars Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Yael Grobglas (Jane the Virgin) and David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck).
