Kia ora David. I notice you have already posted a discussion which is great. I hope you get a good response. Do you mind if I also share your question on the esolonline mailing list where our community is much larger? I hope that you continue to ask questions and share your experiences with the group. Janet.
You know, I thought trying to grow an orchid plant was challenging. I used to grow cucumberes as well as cucumbers outside in a garden, too – but the cold winters as well as pests of the outdoors ruined that for me. I loved working in a garden though, as well as tending to our plants on a weekly basis. As a means of still enjoying the practice of gardening without the outdoor ills, I’ve decided to work on converting this unused garage space into an indoor garden; Not only do I method to grow plants love flowers or vegetables, though – I also method to grow cannabis in the space, too; Don’t be alarmed – I live in a state where the plant has been totally legalized for use! Since I’ll be growing a wide variety of plants in this space, I figured it would be best to have a separate heating as well as a/c system for the space as well, being in the garage means that the space is untreated by our home’s Heating as well as Air Conditioning system anyway, so it will need something to remain at the ideal temperature for growth! To supply heating as well as cooling, I method to install a ductless mini-break system for the garage. This will work flawlessly to keep the garage at a cozy temperature for our plants as they bloom as well as growâ€¦ Plus, they’ll still be safe from the “predators” of the outdoors! All I need is to set up some natural light, as well as a few lighting fixtures to aid in photosynthesis, as well as our indoor garden will be ready for use!
Michael Jackson says a girl gave him a second chance at life at age 73 after he suffered a stroke - and wants this girl maybe to do the same for somebody else. This girl is no tart, although she figures to be about the equal of 30 years old, flashes a pretty smile with a snootful of white teeth and sports thick, honey-blonde hair. Sure, the hair is on this girl's back and face, too. But "Girl" is a dog, so a hairy face is OK. "I had a stroke New Year's Day, and she barked and wailed and woke up my wife," Michael said. "She doesn't bark normally. But she just howled." Michael was immobile on the floor when all that howling and barking from Girl woke up Aileen Jackson. "She woke me up, I called 911, and Michael is here today," Aileen said. "Without Girl, who knows what might have happened?" Michael is still recovering from the stroke, has had thyroid and prostate cancer and had a double hip replacement. Aileen has had three heart attacks. Because of this older couple's combined health problems, they are moving this week to Raleigh, N.C., to first live temporarily with a daughter, then in senior living. "It just wouldn't be possible at most places, for the place or Girl, to have a 60-pound dog inside all the time," Aileen said. "We can't walk her. We can't give Girl the life she needs to be happy. "We have been told that she is too old to be trained as a dog for people with special needs, or for other kinds of training that usually start with younger dogs. "But she has so much love to give." So the Jacksons are hoping that somebody will adopt Girl and she doesn't have to go to a dog pound - or worse. Maybe some family with kids who can run, or a family that needs a steady friend who has already shown that when there is an emergency, Girl can be counted on. The Jacksons found Girl as a puppy four years ago when they responded to a classified ad in The Herald that was asking for a good home for a puppy. They gave Girl a good home, took her for regular grooming at Animal Supply House. Denise Harris, a groomer at Animal Supply House, has served the Jacksons and Girl for years and knows all about how Girl's actions helped save Michael. She is working with local contacts and with a Rock Hill-based group called Project Safe Pet to find Girl a suitable home. "Girl saved Mr. Jackson's life," Harris said. "Now we all hope that we can save Girl's life in return." Michael's health doesn't allow him to romp around with the Girl who saved his life. But he tells people all the time: "I got a Girl who sure is good, and I want to find her a new home." "Doing all we can to try and find a place where Girl will be happy, and help somebody else, doesn't seem like too much to ask after all Girl has done for us," Michael said. "In life, if you find a good 'Girl,' you are lucky. "A good Girl can save you. This Girl sure saved me." Want to help? Anyone interested in adopting Girl can call Denise Harris at 803-366-2959 or Project Safe Pet at 803-327-3602.

What the hell is this, I thought, tasting nothing much interesting. But I looked on the site and read what the vintner had to say. Cinnamon? No way. But then I had another sip and there it is, dead center in the wine, a shot of yummy cinnamon. I didn't taste it because I had never come across cinnamon in a red wine before, but once I knew it was there, there it was. From my little pooh-bear experience, this wine went from a no thanks to a yes, please.

JUNE 2013 I THINK?? MMV hosted an introduction to Cave Rescue Seminar in co-operation with the Perryville Police and fire department. It was well attended with well over 30 cavers from five states.,20 firefighters from Perryville and Cape Girardeau There were also ten NCRC instructors from Indiana, Missouri and Kentucky. The MMV telephone were stretched from the entrance all the way to the annex crossover. The room where the atria is used to access the. The Annex crossover room was renamed "The atrium room" due to some confusion over the phones. The French word etrier for the webbing ladder used to climb up the ledge was misinterpreted as the atrium. Two "Victims" were transported out of the cave on Sunday using techniques we learned on Saturday at the Perryville fire station. There was TV coverage in Cape as well as newspaper coverage on Perryville and Cape Girardeau. MMV also scored a detailed map of the sinkholes and drainage in Perryville.

Some of us may even associate the ‘cheap’ with the word ‘lite’. Even so, there has always been a need for value products in every market; as many people would prefer not to spend so maximum money on everything they buy. Especially in such tough economic times, there would be an increase of people who choose to spend wisely and efficiently to make the best out of their money. For Thermaltake, “Lite” also has another meaning. The company’s Litepower series power supplies are also marketed as energy efficient and “green”. Interestingly, APH haven’t reported on a power supply for about a year already, and we are getting back into it now! Today, we will be taking a look at the Thermaltake Litepower 450W — a budget line of power supplies by the well known manufacturer of cooling products, Thermaltake. We’ll also crack open this power supply to see what is the symbolic significance of ‘lite’ means to Thermaltake when they designed and manufactured our Thermaltake Litepower 450W power supply. * Link: – FUEL – 360 Review Date: 07-10-2009 By Vlad Mihaiescu Fuel is not a perfect game by any means; the sound is beyond terrible. I really don’t believe that Codemasters took the time to put more than a couple of songs for background music in the entire game (maybe 4 at best) and after a few hours of hearing the same beat over and over again, you’re going to turn the music off. The graphics are pretty impressive, not as much in the quality (they are good; don’t get me wrong; they just aren’t phenomenal). However, what really impressed me about the graphics is the overall good quality embedded into a gigantic open racing world filled with over 5000 square miles. The vehicles are a bit boxy with little curves to them, but they do fit right in with the environment. And if you’re tired of putting the AI to the test race and race again, you can even test your luck and driving skills in the online racing community. If you are a hardcore racer, Fuel is a game for you.

The unit we reviewed came inside SilverStone Sugo SG05 SFF case. Let’s see whether this is a good power supply or not.” – There are many of us out there who can not afford a nice shiny new $1,000 computer. For those who fit in this category, read on! As any system builder will tell you, if you think smart you can still build a nice computer with a limited budget. This is very true, but always remember don’t sacrifice quality for price. There are some products out there that may be cheaper now, but will cost you in the long run. This is especially true with the power supply. A bad power supply could potentially destroy every component in your system, and thus cost you lots of more money to replace everything, instead of just going with a good brand from the start.

Concepts in Learning Integration UWW 305 Concepts in Learning Integration is the study of how experiential learning theory contributes to the process of designing an academic area of study. Utilizing research skills, self-reflection, critical analysis, and knowledge acquired through previous coursework, students will connect theory and practice by doing research that demonstrates an ability to use primary and secondary sources, solve problems and communicate effectively. Peer and instructor feedback will be integral to the learning process. Students will construct a plan of study that incorporates past coursework and experience. (Gen. Ed.

. After four months of positive performance, global equity markets have recently moved lower as US-China trade tensions flared up, reducing investors’ risk appetite and increasing volatility. We believe that nervousness is likely to stay elevated until clarity emerges on the trade front, but we continue to believe that a deal – albeit with a delay – remains the most likely scenario. Watch the new Global CIO video with Michael Strobaek, Global Chief Investment Officer, to learn more about the recent market developments and our latest outlook for investors. On the right track We are sticking with our view that equities will outperform – despite the uncertainty surrounding US-China trade relations. Global growth is on track, monetary policy remains loose and we are emerging from the meaningful slowdown in industrial production that began last year. We thus believe that equities is the best asset class to be invested in. In contrast, our conviction in emerging market (EM) currencies has weakened as a result of more expensive valuations and softer-than-expected improvement in economic activity outside China. Value in long-term trends In financial markets both volatile and calm, we believe a thematic investment approach like our Supertrends can deliver value. Categorizing large Supertrends into geopolitical, economic, or social developments helps to make sense of the world around us and offers a sound approach for long-term investing.
Estonian film “Pretenders” makes it into selection of San Sebastian Film Festival (1) “Pretenders” by Vallo Toomla will compete in the New Directors category of this year’s San Sebastian Film Festival from Sept. 16-24. The film is the first Estonian production ever to make it into the selection of the prestigious festival, where it will screened before an international audience. All films selected for the category were admitted on the condition that they would be screened for the first time at the San Sebastian Festival. In Estonia, the film will premiere on Oct. 6. “We are very happy that we’ve been chosen for such an important film festival’s program. To be part of such a dignified selection alone is a great achievement for Estonian film,” said Riina Sildos, the film’s producer. “We’re hoping to surprise the audience, because the Estonian language will be quite a surprise at the most important film festival of the Spanish-speaking world.” The category’s purpose is to promote new talents in the film scene. The €50,000 prize is awarded by an international jury and shared between the winning entry’s director and its Spanish distributor. A second prize in the category, the EROSKI Youth Award, is awarded by a jury made up of 300 students. Director Vallo Toomla, actress Mirtel Pohla, and producer Riina Sildos will appear at the festival. Toomla has stood out before with his works as a student. His first short film, “Morbius”, was chosen the best film of the “Sleepwalkers” short film edition of the PÖFF festival. “Pretenders” was written by duo Livia Ulman and Andris Felmanis, who have created two successful TV series as well as a short film together. The main characters in the film are played by Mirtel Pohla and Priit Võigemast. Mari Abel, Meelis Rämmeld, Laine Mägi, and Andres Lepik also play in the film. Internationally renowned cutter Danielius Kokanauskis and sound director Vladimir Golovnitski also contributed. “Pretenders” was filmed in a seaside villa by architects Emil Urbel and Tiina Mang.

Medical Advances and their Implications Lecture PATHOLOGY is, in my opinion, the most Interesting and enjoyable branch of medicine. It has only one disadvantage, namely, that so many people have little idea of what pathology is. The late Professor H. R. Dean of Cambridge, one of England's greatest pathologists, once said: "To a pathologist all things medical are pathology." I think this is true but it does not get us any further. In particular, it does not help one's unfortunate wife who is regularly embarrassed by new acquaintances who say "I hear your husband is a doctor, where does he practise?" To which she replies "He is not in practice, he is a pathologist." This frequently elicits the reply "What is that?" "Well, he does post-mortems"-"Oh murders and things". At which point one's wife gives up. In the presence of an erudite academic audience may I hasten to add that I am not a forensic pathologist and that I have managed to do post-mortems for the last forty-odd years without doing one on a murder case, or to be scientifically accurate. without my recognising that it was a murder.
It’s a cool, wet day, so we needed a supper that would heat us up. Inspired by a recipe in the Chatelaine cookbook, Quickies: Ten Quick Ways with Everyday Foods, I made a spicy dinner from a ham steak. It turned out well, and the recipe is below, if you’re brave enough to try it. Spicy Ham Jambalaya In a large frying pan, on medium high, sauté: - 1/2 cup chopped onion (I used frozen) - 1 cup chopped celery - 1 cup chopped red pepper (I used julienne carrots) - 1 tsp minced garlic Cook about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft. Then, stir in: - 1 cup uncooked rice - 1/2 cup chicken bouillon ( I used water) - 1 tsp hot pepper sauce - 1 whole bay leaf - 2 cups chopped, seeded tomatoes (I used canned diced tomatoes) - 2 cups cubed ham Bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, about 25 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Serves 4. Advertisements Pingback: Ham Quickies « What’s For Supper Tonight?

Breaking Boundaries by Defining them When it comes to living life in today's easily accessible realm I am finding that more and more I need boundaries. It's been a constant theme and struggle over the past year but I think I finally figured it out [almost]. I struggle a lot with boundaries in general, as a lover, giver and nurturer I often have opened my whole self up to those around me as I truly love to see and believe the best in people. The universe has taught me time and time again that whilst that's not a terrible quality to have, like any trait we as humans possess it's about quantity and that old favourite 'balance'. Too much or too little of anything is never ideal. The thing with BOUNDARIES is that it's such a scary word. It sounds so intimidating, so final. That's where I have struggled, I have often been an all or nothing gal growing up. So it was only natural that my definition of boundaries was the same. The boundary to me was the iron wall, fort knox - either you're in or you're out and that was that. See what I mean - harsh! totally unrealistic and unhealthy, by the way. When you work , play and sometimes even cohabitate with colleagues, friends and students compartmentalizing and separating was my jam! I excel [perhaps too well] at defining the two. However, I didn't know how to deal with those who didn't/couldn't. I didn't understand. Until my beautiful and amazingly talented friend, massage therapist and body talker Pam Dhillon blew my mind and redefined my world. Her words were along these lines: Boundaries shouldn't be a definite or solid set in stone wall. That's not life. It needs to be a net that bends and stretches to allow things to flow through as they need, to adapting to each situation. Boom. Mind Blown!! After all these years of truly believing I got this sussed but recognizing I wasn't completely comfortable with the giant wall in my beautiful mind garden, Pam changed my world and let light in. I hope you can take a second at the end of this blog post to reconsider some of your boundaries - I don't mean personal space but rather with your family, friends, colleagues - especially if you are an entrepreneur. It doens't always have to be a Berlin Wall of separation, nothing thrives in the shadow of that. Instead try hanging a net up and allowing it to blow in the wind and being open to moments when the direction of flow might change and your response needs to change. You'll be surprised at how much easier it is to take those restrictions away. Let me know how you make out - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised also!
Trainer Carl O'Callaghan, who won with 9/1 shot Brian the Brave, regularly performs Irish music at L.A. bars In July, trainer Carl O’Callaghan sent #12 Brian the Brave to be gelded and when the 3-year-old came back to the races on Sept. 4, the new gelding was a faster, more valuable animal. In that first comeback race, Brian the Brave ran a 71 Beyer Speed Figure while four paths wide on the turn, which was probably his fastest race up until that point. In the interim, Brian the Brave had two fast workouts which set him up well for Sunday when he broke his maiden at 9-to-1 by running down #11 Launch the Bull. And Launch the Bull was no slouch. Coming into the race, Launch the Bull exceeded the median Beyer Speed Figure needed to win at this class in his last three starts. All of Launch the Bull’s three losses were against higher-priced maiden claimers. The one big knock on Launch the Bull, though, is that this Peter Miller-trainee tires late and seems to always get caught at the wire. Sunday was no different. The race began with speed ball #6 Jamieson going straight to the front on the backstretch. Both Launch the Bull and Brian the Brave were stalking the pace from about a length behind. And midway on the turn, both surged to the lead as a team. At the top of the lane, Launch the Bull pulled away from Brian the Brave by a length, but just like in his past races, Launch the Bull couldn’t hold the lead and Brian the Brave nailed him at the wire. The win was just the third of the year for trainer Carl O’Callaghan, who moonlights by performing Irish music in Los Angeles and San Diego area bars. By clicking on his name, you can check his music website or here for his stable site. I bet $300 on Launch the Bull at 2/1. To watch a replay of this race, go to. October 7, 2009 at 8:42 PM here’s my website I’d rather you talk about instead of my music one , thanks for all the kind words October 7, 2009 at 8:43 PM October 8, 2009 at 5:29 AM thk you October 8, 2009 at 5:30 AM new citizen friday at oak tree 3rd race is training well….

Summers on its way and we will be open From Friday 18th of JULY til Monday 1st of SEPTEMBER EVERY DAY 10a.m til 6p.m 🙂 HAPPY HOLIDAY’S Summers on its way and we will be open From Friday 18th of JULY til Monday 1st of SEPTEMBER EVERY DAY 10a.m til 6p.m 🙂 HAPPY HOLIDAY’S Filed under Uncategorized 3 responses to “SUMMER HOLIDAY” It’s a shame you are not open week sooner, as with the holidays having already begun it would be useful. My kids are desperate to come on Tuesdays. I promised my son he could go to a play barn as we were on holiday in your area.your police to charge adults is scandalous you can’t tell a 4 year at that point no we are not going in because we are being robbed.at least Dick Turpin wore a mask. I’m 60 do I want to go down the slide NO. Could I climb up to the top NO. So why I’m I being charged to use the equipment ??? As for your food prices obscene no other words could describe it better £6.90 for nugget and chips frozen junk from Iceland . DO NOT USE THIS PLACE THEY ARE THERE TO FLEECE YOU Thank you for your comment Joe. Our policy to charge everyone the same price is to encourage “Family Play” and actively get supervising adults to play with their children. We could just charge £9 per child and adults free which would still be the same price. We are a business, we have staff, rent and overheads just like any other small family company and at no point do we force people through the door that is their choice at the entry door where the prices are displayed on 2 doors also on our leaflets and web page. Our price has remained the same since 2011. I don’t think Iceland would appreciate that comment and just to clarify we shop locally. But thank you for your feed back, just sorry you didn’t enjoy your visit but hopefully your 4 year old did.

Check Art of the Home tips below for the steps to carve a tomato into a lovely rose — so easy and so pretty! Art of the Home Tip to Make a Tomato Rose Garnish - The first step to carving a tomato rose garnish is to select a firm tomato and have a sharp knife (paring knife type or smaller size cutting knife). - Insert knife next to stem and remove by carving a circle around the stem. - Turn tomato on the other side (opposite the stem side).

Music is like a religion to me, and I’ve tried to describe my thoughts and feelings about it in my blog many times. I just found that Joshua Bell has done it much better than I have. First, some background: I just finished reading a wonderful book by Barry Green called The Mastery of Music: Ten Pathways to True Artistry , which is a followup to his earlier book The Inner Game of Music, which follows up on The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey. I will oversimplify Barry Green’s thesis by saying that we can get in touch with a state deep within ourselves, a state of relaxed concentration in which we are undisturbed by distractions from the outside world (for example, a cell phone ringing) or by distractions from within ourselves (such as a voice saying, “You can’t do that. It’s too hard.”) This state of relaxed concentration or mindful relaxation is a centerpiece of some religions or philosophies of Asia (chi or prana). It is also recognized by Western culture and given such names as “meditation,” “the alpha state,” etc. This state is important to musicians because it is here that we connect strongly to music. One might even say that here we become the music. Some very beautiful things happen beyond our conscious control when we are in this state. Joshua Bell believes that in this state, you are not presenting your own ideas. Rather, your ideas are arising naturally from the music. He feels nervous before a performance of the Beethoven Concerto, but something happens inside him just before he begins to play his part. He describes it this way. can only add, “Amen.” DG has posted videos of several live concerts from the Verbier Festival online at. One of them features solos by guitarist Josh Ritter followed by solos by Hilary Hahn. I haven’t figured out how to fast-forward through Ritter’s performance. Ms. Hahn plays: Bach, Sonata #2 in A minor BWV 1003 (This is listed, but I don't hear it.) Ysaye, Sonata #3 in D minor, “Ballade” Ernst, Erlkonig Caprice for Violin op. 26 after Franz Schubert Performances by other artists on this website include: Schubert Lieder Mendelssohn: Trio no.1 in D minor op.49 Mozart: Requiem in D minor K626 Brahms: Requiem I hope these performances bring you some cheer on a hot summer day. Continued from July 21 read about the Festival at. I did volunteer work at night time parties for the Festival participants. Instead of money, I was rewarded with interactions with the participants and opportunities to play my fiddle with them when they jammed. It was very interesting and lots of fun.. hear webcasts of performances and read about the Festival. I did volunteer work at night time parties for the Festival participants. Instead of money, I was rewarded with interactions with the participants and opportunities to play my fiddle with them when they jammed. It was very interesting and lots of fun.. I saw a poster-size ad the other day that I can’t understand. It was a photograph of an area from ground level to about knee level. There was an open instrument case on the sidewalk containing an assortment of coins and bills, with one beautiful, lacey, lavender colored bra hanging over the edge of the case. Behind the case were the shoes and pants legs of a man, presumably the busker. Walking away from the case was the lower part of a woman with high heeled shoes, shapely legs, and a skirt. The only words on the poster were “Hard Rock Café.” I can think of two interpretations, but many more are possible. (1) The man put the bra in the case along with some seed money to attract attention and get more money. (2) The woman was so captivated by the man’s music that she pulled off her blouse and bra, threw the bra into the case, put her blouse back on, and continued walking to her office. I note that when Joshua Bell tried busking at a Metro station in Washington, DC, no one gave him a lavender bra. Now I ask you, my fellow v.commies, what do you think the ad means? If you use your imagination, I’m sure you can come up with some good stories. More entries: August 2007 June 2007 P.S. Check out my website. More entries: August 2007 June 2007
MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy When a lump or abnormality is detected in the breast, it is not always possible to determine whether the growth is cancerous or benign from imaging tests alone. A breast biopsy is often performed to remove cells from the suspicious area of the breast for further examination. An MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is a biopsy that is performed with the guidance of an MRI scan. As with other breast biopsies, this type of procedure draws cell samples from breast abnormalities to determine whether or not they are cancerous. In addition, a vacuum-assisted device, or VAD, is also used during this procedure. A VAD is vacuum-powered needle which can collect multiple tissue samples through one needle insertion during the biopsy. Benefits of MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy Research suggests that MRI is the most effective imaging technique for identifying abnormalities of the breast, as well as elsewhere on the body. The MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy takes less time than a surgical biopsy, and since tissue is extracted with only one needle insertion, the risk of damaging tissue is decreased. The MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy Procedure An MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is performed on an outpatient basis with a local anesthetic, although sedation is an option for anxious patients. An MRI machine with a slightly different examination table is used for MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsies. The exam table used for a breast MRI contains openings through which the breasts are placed, making it easier for the machine to capture their image. After the anesthetic has numbed the breast, a tiny incision will be made at the insertion site of the biopsy needle. The needle is then inserted through the incision while an MRI is performed to ensure that the needle has precisely located the abnormality. With the assistance of vacuum power, several tissue samples are then extracted from the breast. After the tissue samples have been obtained, the needle is removed from the breast and pressure is applied to the site of the biopsy to stop bleeding. A bandage is then applied to the area. An MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy usually lasts about 90 minutes. Patients can return home the same day, although exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for 24 hours. The Risks of an MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy While an MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is considered a safe procedure, all procedures carry a slight risk of complications. Patients may experience some discomfort at the incision site, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Other risks of the biopsy may include: - Bleeding at the incision site - Infection Tissue samples of the biopsy are sent to a lab for analysis. After reviewing the results, the doctor will discuss them directly with the patient and create a customized treatment plan.

A Direct Booking Experiment When booking a hotel room, who do you prefer to book with? For the majority of people who are asked this question, their answer will be Booking.com or Expedia. What most of these people will not realise is that for each booking made through one of these online travel agents, the hotel can pay up to 30% of the booking value in commission. The question you are now probably asking yourself is Why do hotels sell rooms through these channels if they are paying so much in commission? The answer is that most hotels rely on online travel agents to generate a high volume of bookings and for many hoteliers, these channels yield the vast majority of their online revenue. A guest booking directly with the hotel is the ideal: no commission paid out and revenue is maximised. However, this is more easily said than done. So what are hotels doing to encourage their guests to book direct? Offering the same price as online travel agents is often not enough to persuade the average guest to book direct. In many cases, hotels offer additional benefits to the select guests who book directly via their own website. So what benefits do guests get when they book direct? We decided to find out... We enquired about booking a night at ten of Edinburgh’s best known 4 and 5-star hotels. To do this, we looked at the following for each hotel: - The price offered by the cheapest online travel agent (OTA) such as Booking.com - The price offered via the hotel’s own website - Whether or not the hotel offered any additional incentive for those who book direct The results of our direct booking experiment are below: Hotel 1 OTA - £273 Hotel’s Website - £273 Direct Booking Incentive No incentive Hotel 2 OTA - £303 Hotel’s Website - £303 Direct Booking Incentive Complimentary bottle of champagne Hotel 3 OTA - £333 Hotel’s Website - £302 Direct Booking Incentive Complimentary drink Hotel 4 OTA - £203 Hotel’s Website - £203 Direct Booking Incentive Save 15% and £5 voucher Hotel 5 OTA - £200 Hotel’s Website - £190 Direct Booking Incentive Complimentary prosecco, wi-fi, 20% off parking and food & drink Hotel 6 OTA - £238 Hotel’s Website - £193 Direct Booking Incentive Complimentary breakfast Hotel 7 OTA - £205 Hotel’s Website - £205 Direct Booking Incentive Additional incentive offered at the discretion of the manager on the phone Hotel 8 OTA - £179 Hotel’s Website - £199 Direct Booking Incentive £10 hotel voucher Hotel 9 OTA - £149 Hotel’s Website - £149 Direct Booking Incentive 5% discount for loyalty club members Hotel 10 OTA - £160 Hotel’s Website - £160 Direct Booking Incentive No incentive In this sample, Hotel 5 is top of the class. Their reasons to book direct are clearly marked on their website and a wide variety of different perks sets their direct channel apart from the OTAs. It also helps that their direct rate is £10 cheaper than anywhere else! So what conclusions can we draw from the results above? Firstly, the majority of hotels are offering a direct booking incentive. In theory, this makes the hotel's own website a more attractive place for a guest to book. The reality is that the power of brands like Booking.com and Expedia is often enough to persuade guests to book with them. This is particularly applicable where there is price parity, or in other words, where it is the same price for a guest to book with either. Secondly, the most popular perk comes in the form of a complimentary drink - something we ourselves can certainly buy into! A hotel voucher was also offered by two of the hotels - this is a means of bypassing the price parity clause hotels are contractually bound to with OTAs. Finally, the better the perks, the more likely the guest is to book direct. The two properties who offered no incentive to book direct are shooting themselves in the foot and leaving themselves at the mercy of OTAs. So, next time you are booking a hotel room, make sure you book direct (but not before giving the hotel a call to haggle some additional benefits for doing so)!
I was an island to escape to when their frustrations with their long-term partner swelled to unbearable levels for them. Since there were no guidelines in position, trips taken up to my area had been secretive, hidden through the other, lied about as soon as we had been altogether. Searching right back I despair over our naivety at us now, sneaking around one another to avoid hurt feelings. I do want to shake our previous selves by the arms and get us what the heck we had been thinking would take place, and exactly how omitting the truth could ever produce a steady foundation for a relationship to balance on. Since my experience, I have talked along with other throuples, and read helpful reports from people ‘All the publications we read stated envy had been incorrect, the feeling of this monogamous unenlightened. One thing we poly individuals should transcend. Yet we was jealousy that is n’t transcending. We wasn’t enlightened after all.’Jeff Leavell, HuffPost It is all perfectly to express that envy is that is‘ugly you need to avoid it, but you’re just individual, and are also your lovers. Jealousy is a normal emotion, and frequently arises without you wanting it to. So bare your truthful thoughts, share the way you truly feel along with your lovers, and discover a means through it together. If i really could paint a great picture of just how it must have checked for people, it might be this: all three of us, sat even as we therefore adored to complete, around our dining table as soon as we must have been resting, our windows flung open and swathed in blankets, consuming wine and telling one another, straight away, everything we each desired using this journey we had been going to undertake. I might have liked to learn, they were as a couple, how without my sudden appearance in their lives, they might have broken things off long before before it was too late to change my mind, how unstable. If just I experienced summoned the self- self- self- confidence to express my confusion within the greatly different sorts of love I experienced both for of those. If only we had all been cleverer, had motivated communication that is open so none of us felt we had to conceal, or were ever feeling we had been doing something amiss. Know When It’s Not Working My last speck of advice before you gallivant down on your own polyamorous adventure is always to keep watch out for signs and symptoms of collapse, to enable you to avoid total destruction. No body embarks on a fresh relationship taking into consideration the end, but we nevertheless advise care, only in order to protect your self from a huge hill of discomfort. A wonderful an element of the poly life style is linking with numerous individuals at the same time, intimately and emotionally. In non-monogamous relationships, you can build several bonds that are intimate your self that behave as a fortress of security and love. Unfortunately, nevertheless, this can indicate that the poly break-up could be a lonely and isolating experience. Whenever three or maybe more partners break up, at the least twice the ties are severed as there is in an average split that is two-person. This could be worsened by the non-understanding of your other help systems, such as for instance parents or buddies. If they don’t ‘get’ your poly relationship to begin with, they lack the capability to precisely allow you to through the pain sensation from it ending. Therefore be smart to the warning signs – the envy, the privacy, the possible lack of work from a single or higher individuals. Most of all, however, get in with a available, loving, ample heart. Be clear by what you prefer, to see just just what one other parties anticipate away from you. Be respectful, be type, and manage the precious, unique relationship that brought you completely.
The fair-minded, slightly LEFT of center legal reporter for National Journal, Stuart Taylor, blasts the media's characterization and analysis of Samuel Alito. Taylor reserves special venom for Knight-Ridder's hit piece that appeared a few weeks ago: . . .. Taylor chronicles the factual errors, shoddy reporting (and inability of reporters to distinguish Alito's words from the sources he quotes) and shilling for liberal anti-Alito groups that major news outlets have performed. The result?. * * * The systematic slanting -- conscious or unconscious -- of [ ] news reports fair-minded, committed to apolitical judging, and wedded to no ideological agenda other than restraint in the exercise of judicial power. The quality and ethics of American journalism has been poor for many years. But it has consistently dropped to new nadirs during the George W. Bush presidency.
It seems as though everywhere I turn these days someone is trying to persuade me to add chia seeds to my diet. Magazine and newspaper articles, healthy-ish cookbooks I'm editing, actual people—all I hear is chia chia chia. Apparently they are the next superfood. So, off to Whole Foods I trotted, where I found practically a whole aisle of the stuff. Well, that's an exaggeration, but there was most definitely not just one lone bag sitting on a shelf. I took some home and decided to make chia pudding, since that seemed like the least offensive way to eat something that gets really gelatinous when moistened. The verdict? Delicious, and a great texture for pudding. I made a half-batch, and Julie and I already ate the whole thing. The original recipe called for half almond milk and half coconut or hemp milk, but I just used all almond milk (Andy makes a shake with it every morning, so I always have it in the house). As for the sweeteners and flavorings, I'm sure you could use anything you want—honey, mashed banana, cocoa powder, you get the idea. I did not take a photo. Let's put it this way: If you were filming a horror movie and needed to show the mad scientist putting someone's brains in a blender, you could very convincingly use this chia pudding as the partially pureed gray matter. Don't look, just eat. Chia Pudding ½ cup chia seeds 2 cups almond milk 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Stir together all of the ingredients in a bowl (I put it in a Tupperware* container, covered it, and gave it a good shake). Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Stir (again, I just shook it for all it's worth), cover, and return to the refrigerator for 4 more hours or until sufficiently gloppy. *It's not really Tupperware, but I've genericized the brand name. Bought the seeds when I was out this morning. I'm going to try it this afternoon. Posted by: Susan \| August 02, 2013 at 12:41 PM Mixing chia seeds with fruit juice makes a great jello substitute if you have vegan friends,too! Posted by: Deborah \| August 05, 2013 at 09:25 PM
Radical. In the earliest data centers, utility-supplied 16,000 VAC (volts of alternating current) electricity was first converted to 440 VAC for routing within a building, then to 220 VAC, and finally to the 110 VAC used by the era's servers. Each conversion wasted power by dint of being less than 100% efficient, with the lost power being cast off as heat (which had to be removed by cooling, incurring yet more power expense). The switch to 208 VAC eliminated one conversion, and with in-server power supplies running at 95% efficiency, there wasn't any longer much to gain. But.
Policy that prohibits employees from dating Free sex chats no sugnup required Even a consensual relationship, if it goes sour, can result in unwelcome advances, stalking, or other predatory conduct.In a consensual relationship between a supervisor and a subordinate, the subordinate often is the recipient of preferential treatment.The policy must clearly state whether dating among employees is prohibited or merely discouraged.If dating is merely discouraged, the policy should also indicate the counseling or documentation that will occur if employees violate the policy.The policy might also be limited to supervisor/subordinate dating, or allow dating between co-workers who do not work alongside one another.In addition, any policy that prohibits co-worker dating should have an exception for employees who are married to one another. If done properly, a consensual relationship agreement will make it more difficult for an employee to claim that the relationship was "unwelcome." In addition, the agreement will create a question about why the employee did not seek to stop the harassment by reporting it to management.The difficulty for the employer is proving that the relationship was consensual.Often, an employee will argue that he or she was an unwilling participant in a relationship that merely appeared to be consensual.In fact, some organizations have policies that prohibit these types of relationships.According to Vault.com's 2010 Office Romance Survey, almost 60 percent of respondents admitted to having participated in some form of workplace romance.The agreement also confirms and documents that the relationship is consensual and voluntary. One thought on “policy that prohibits employees from dating” An affirmative defense must be raised in the Complaint for Divorce or it is lost. If handled properly, an affirmative defense could minimize the damage caused by an extramarital affair.2.
Why is this happening to me? Why does everything seem to be falling apart? How many times have you said this to yourself over the course of your life? Some days, weeks, even months it just seems like you can’t catch a break! So why is this happening???? Energy! When something bad happens to us we seem to dwell on it. That leads to negative energy resulting in more negative things happening to you. Why? The Universe does not understand the difference between positive and negative energy. The Universe matches the energy you are admitting at that very moment!! If you are experiencing negative emotions such as stress, annoyance, and anger, the Universe is going to match that negative energy and give you more situations that trigger stress, annoyance, and anger. If you are experiencing positive emotions such as happiness, excitement, joy, and love, the Universe is going to match that positive energy and give you more situations that trigger more happiness, excitement, joy, and love. So what should you do if something negative happens to you? 1. Most of the time, the negative situation that happens to you is out of your control. Do not dwell on it! You can not control something that is out of your control. 2. Everything that happens in your life occurred to teach you something. Find the teaching lesson. 3. If the negative situation is because someone did wrong by you, forgive them so the anger you feel does not remain inside you. Forgiving is different than forgetting though. You can forgive the person for the harm they caused you, but choose not to surround yourself with that person anymore. You are solely forgiving them so that you can let go of the negative emotions you feel about the situation. 4. Sometimes negative situations happen because the Universe is trying to wake us up. You could be on the wrong path to your divine purpose. Reprogramming your thoughts can be challenging. Self Compassion LLC can help! Self Compassion LLC offers ONLINE LIFE COACHING.

Blue. Thursday, June 26, 2008 Blueberry Blurb Blueberries have never been terribly high on my list of favorites. Nothing against the blueberry...we've just never been very well acquainted. Until lately. 6 Click here to Comment!: Oh, I am SO jealous. Very, very jealous. I love blueberries yet can't afford the $10 per lb price that comes with them here (they must be imported). I'd love to come pick some for free yet can't afford the trip itself:-) Enjoy them and eat some extra for me! I wish I could send you some, Kell! I've been trying to get your mom, Wonder Woman, out here to pick...to no avail! You are so lucky! I adore blueberries! Why should I come and pick blueberries when you promised me some from your freezer??? Are you renigging on that offer? My kiddos would love the "swim" part that follows the "picking" part. Maybe another day . . . Are there still a lot of blueberries left on those bushes? We went to Wacissa again yesterday to pick more and their bushes were well picked. I like to have several gallons in my freezer to last me until next picking season. My two youngest like to eat them right from the freezer. I prefer them in blueberry muffins. Yum! Kara Blueberries now sound really good! I wish we had blueberries like that. They are so expensive at the store. The snake story reminded me of our exchange student that hated spiders but wouldn't kill them, instead she would put a bowl over it and leave us a note asking us if we would kill it.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Confidential document kept in the Agency for Cultural Affairs REVEALED!!! Among manners and customs related to folk entertainment, annual events, forms of faith, life, and occupations that have been inherited and still exist, 264 items are assigned, by the Japanese Government under the Act on Protection of Cultural Properties (文化財保護法), as Important Intangible Folk-Cultural Properties (重要無形民俗文化財). Whoa! That was a mouthful. In Tochigi Prefecture 4 activities are listed in the document, and the Kanuma Buttsuke Autumn Festival is one of them (assigned as an Important Cultural Property on February 20, 2003). Here is the description listed in the database of the Agency for Cultural Affairs (文化庁). Sorry all of them are in Japanese only, no English… Below is a brief translation of the Japanese description. Images are made or integrated by us at totally random intervals to stop you from falling asleep. The Kanuma yatai activity is held during the annual festival at Imamiya shrine located in Kanuma city, Tochigi prefecture. Kanuma city is located the mid-western part of Tochigi, flanked by Utsunomiya to the east and Nikko to the north. Since the early modern period, Kanuma was one of the Shukuba (宿場) - post stations along Nikko Reiheishi Kaido (日光例幣使街道) – subroute connecting Nakasendo and Nikko Kaido. Kuragano shuku (倉賀野宿) - in Takasaki city to Imaichi shuku (currently in Nikko city). There are 21 shukus (stations) and Kanuma is the 18th station. (click on image to see larger version) Kanuma used to be an important hemp gathering and weaving center. Hemp was grown and woven into fabric in and around the Kanuma district. The city is still a center of wood industry. Imamiya shrine is located in the center of the city and worshipped as Ujigami (氏神) among 34 districts located in the city center. The annual festival at Imamiya shrine takes place during the second weekend in October and begins by dedicating yatai (wooden festival floats). Among the 34 Ujiko districts 28 own custom-made yatai and around 20 districts participate in the festival each year. Ancient yatai style The yatai in Kanuma is a single floor structure with four wheels. The yatai procession is accompanied by traditional music played by musicians located inside the cabin. Each yatai is decorated with magnificent sculptures and carvings partially covered with detailed metal engravings – in a style influenced by art designs and sculpture techniques developed by skilled carpenters who were involved in the construction of Nikko Tosho-gu (東照宮) and the Five Story Pagoda (五重の塔). 34 Ujiko districts are divided into four groups: Kami (上- upper), Shimo (下- lower), Tamachi Kami (田町上), and Tamachi Shimo (田町下組). On average 8-9 Ujiko districts belong to one group. The responsibility for organizing the festival is rotated annually among the four groups. In the group responsible for the festival in a given year, one district (determined by turns) is in charge of organizing the event and called Ichiban-cho (一番町- Number One Town). In principle, there is also a fixed chief district of the group called Oya-cho (親町- Parent town). The chief district of Kami gumi (- group: 上組) is Kubo-cho (久保町), Shimo group (下組) – Naka-machi (仲町), Tamachi Kamigumi (田町上組) – Kamita-machi (上田町), and Tamachi Shimogumi (田町下組) – Nakata-machi (中田町). Current style yatai - front The Yatai festival beings with an event called "Enko Sai" (縁故祭 - relationship festival?) at Imamiya shrine on July 20th. It is a ritual ceremony in which the new organizing district takes over the responsibility of Ichiban-cho from the previous year’s one, with Shinto priests, the president and the vice-president of Ujiko members, accountants, committee members of Ichiban-cho (previous and current year), and chiefs of each Ujiko districts. (Yeah, celebrities and VIPs) (Yes, I am ready to chew my leg off and bleed to death, too. You're not alone – Mrs. Trouble). The next ceremony is buttsuke on the first Saturday in September. The ceremony is meant as a dress rehearsal of the Yatai festival. Fully assembled yatai do NOT appear at this time. Instead, each districts provides a concise version of a pseudo-four-wheel car and they get into the shrine with the accompaniment of a traditional orchestra. This is an opportunity for the districts to show their willingness to attend the main festival this year. By going through this rehearsal, Ichiban-cho, the district in charge of organizing the main festival, can confirm which districts will participate in October. Then meetings take place over and over, until everything is scheduled, coordinated, and negotiated. Current style yatai - side Rei taisai (the annual festival) in October begins with all the celebrity members described above getting together (in formal wear) and praying at Imamiya shrine early in the morning of the first day of the event. It is called "Asamiya Mairi" (朝宮参り - visiting the shrine and praying early in the morning). It starts off with Ichiban-cho’s prayers, followed by the remaining districts belonging to the organizing group of the year, and then - all the rest. After singing a song and leaving its home district's territory, the yatai pulled by Ujiko members heads to the shrine to pray. When that’s done, it makes a clockwise turn by the shrine and returns home. The process is done before breakfast, around 7AM. Afterwards, the Chief Ujiko from the districts participating in the festival and the festival committee members get together at the shrine to participate in a ritual ceremony there. While this ritual ceremony’s going on at the shrine, each yatai starts to march within its own district and prepares for the procession to the shrine later in the day. Here is a video of buttsuke (which takes place on the second day of the festival): By the time a foreign yatai goes across another district’s territory to visit the shrine, the diplomats have to make a deal with other diplomats who belong to the “foreign” districts along the way to the shrine. All has to agree as to when and how long the yatai can travel across “foreign” districts. When the negotiations are successful, Ujiko members from foreign districts wait at the border, expecting the yatai to arrive on time. When the yatai goes across the border, foreign Ujiko members lead the yatai to the other border of the district. Prior to the negotiations, no yatai can pass through any foreign district. If you break this rule, your neighbor’s yatai will be heavily armed, like tank, next year. There is law and order governing how all yatai get into the shrine (called Yatai Kurikomi: 屋台繰り込み). The first to go in is the yatai of Ichiban-cho. After passing under the shrine torii (鳥居), ohayashi (お囃子: musical accompaniment) is dedicated to the gods and the yatai team is purified by the priests with oharai (お祓い) – that thing that looks like a mop of shredded paper on a stick. When that is done, the yatai is moved to a particular spot on the shrine grounds and waits until all the Yatai Kurikomi (繰り込み) is completed. Watch this video, Mrs Trouble filmed Yatai Kurikomi this year. When all the participating yatai are purified and parked, once again, all the celebrities get into the Haiden Hall (拝殿) – the main hall of the shrine, and have another ritual ceremony called “Houkoku Sai" (報告祭 - reporting festival). In the evening, lanterns are attached to the yatai for illumination and ohayashi music resumes. The process called “Kuridashi" (繰り出し - getting out of the shrine and going home) starts when the sun is fully set. It begins with the Ichiban-cho’s yatai. When the yatai of Ichiban-cho leaves the shrine, a ceremony called “Teuchi Shiki" (手打ち式) - applauding ceremony takes place. The rest of yatai go home after the applause ceremony in the same order they went inside. Here’s a comment on this event by the Agency for Cultural Affairs: Since the festival is one of the typical characteristics of a traditional yatai ceremony, it is significantly important. Damn, that was long and convoluted to translate. I realized that the description of the Kanuma Yatai festival covers only the events taking place on day one of the whole festival. Probably the events on day two are mostly to entertain and cheer people up. Here's the video (lovingly filmed by Mrs Trouble) during the festivities on day two. Yes, the good people of Kanuma love Mrs Trouble (and she loves them back): If you read Japanese, please visit the city's official site where all the events are described and illustrated with images. Note from Mrs Trouble: And guess what? Utsunomiya mikoshi was also visiting Kanuma! Here it is - blocking the yatai passage. The Ujiko members must pay their respects to the mikoshi before allowed to proceed. And of course I filmed it:

In addition to the Board of Supervisors Meeting on Monday evening, there is a Tredyffrin Easttown School Board Meeting; 7:30 PM at Conestoga HS. Here is the agenda for TESD meeting. Included in the agenda materials is the Treasurer’s Report as of November 30, 2009 which was interesting to review, particularly in light of the 2010-11 budget discussions. The last section of the agenda materials included ‘Recommended Action’ that the following policies and regulations be adopted by the School Board Directors. I found some of these policy updates interesting to read. In some cases it had been several years since revisions were required (example, as electronic device usage increases, updated school policy is required) I appreciate that the school board gave us the old version and shows up the redlined updated revision. – Policy 1310: Visitors to School District Buildings and Classrooms – Policy 1310: Classroom Visits by Community Members, REPEAL – Policy 5228: Awarding of Diplomas to Eligible Veterans – Policy 5400: Students’ Freedom of Expression – Policy 5414: Electronic Devises: Use by Students – Policy 5420: Unlawful Harassment by and of Students – Policy 5422: Student Accidents and Injuries – Treatment and Reporting – Policy 9310: Regular Monthly Meetings – Policy 9312: Parliamentary Procedure – Regulation 9331: Review of School Board Policies We should review where we are with the TESD 2010-11 budget gap. The projected gap between revenues and expenditures is estimated at $9.2 million. The gap was a result of loss of revenues and increase of expenditures. At the January 25, 2010 regular school board meeting, school board members voted that any property tax increase would be at or below 2.9%, the statewide index. To close the budget gap, there was proposed strategies presented at the February 8 Finance Committee meeting. The School Board and administration continue to evaluate each proposed budget strategy. The following 1-11 strategies were reviewed in detail at the February 8 meeting: – Restructure the 7th and 8th grade program delivery – Eliminate the Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) – Contribution from food/nutrition service fund to general fund – Restructure middle school special area classes – Reduce number of regular education aides/paraprofessionals – Eliminate all CHS classes with fewer than 15 students – Eliminate Supervisor of Special Education position – Education Services Center disposition – Outsource print shop – Reduce number of Extra Duty Responsibility positions and club sports contribution – Reduce 2010-11 budget requests to 2008-09 levels At the March 8 Finance Committee meeting (7:30 PM Conestoga HS) and March 15 Budget Workshop meeting there will be continued discussions on the remaining strategies to reduce the 2010-11 budget gap. The School Board has not made any final decisions regarding the implementation of the strategies. It is my understanding that the School Board and administration will continue to work towards balancing the budget between now and the June 14, 2010 School Board Meeting. One of the Community Matters readers posted an article from the New York Times a couple of days ago about teacher seniority and working to change the system for teacher layoffs; I’ll work to get that article up for discussion shortly.

The I use an iPad and iPhone, which came with an app called Notes. I have turned my iPad into an intercessory prayer list through the Notes App. If you have an iPhone, it will sync with your iPad, providing you accessibility on either device. If you have an Android or other device, they have something similar, or you can even download an app that works for you. The brand of the product is not what is important – it is the functionality it provides.. I can add to my list upon hearing a need, wherever I happen to be at the time. A current, relevant prayer list increases the morning commitment here.; nationally, leading the National Day of Prayer Task Force,, our state’s Governor, Senators, Congressmen, and the Mayors of the major cities in our region of Northwest Arkansas.. This list is very current and keeps me accountable to pray for people with major needs. As soon as I hear about them, I place them on this list, with 90% of these people never knowing unless I tell them. There is much more, but that’s enough for now … There are many more things I work through in prayer daily. However, this gives you some ideas about how to transform your iPad or other device into an Intercessory Prayer List. Try using this - I really think you will like it Its simplicity, usefulness, and relevance will be refreshing. Plus, do not forget, it can change easily as the Spirit of God leads you. Now is the Time to Lead and to Pray, Ronnie W. Floyd Be the first to comment

Red Sox Select Eight Players on Second Day of the 2014 June Draft BOSTON, MA-The Boston Red Sox today continued their participation in Major League Baseball's 2014 June Draft with eight additional selections in rounds 3-10. Red Sox Director of Amateur Scouting Amiel Sawdaye made the announcement. Over the first two days of the draft, Boston has selected five pitchers (all right-handers), three infielders, two outfielders, and one catcher. Of the 11 players drafted, four are from high school and seven are from college. With their first pick today, the Red Sox selected right-handed pitcher Jake Cosart in the third round (67th overall) out of Seminole State College of Florida. A 20-year-old red shirt freshman, he went 5-3 with a 5.34 ERA (38 ER/64.0), 67 strikeouts, and 23 walks allowed in 13 games, including 11 starts. This was his first season with Seminole State after transferring from Duke University. A native of Friendswood, TX, Cosart was named to the Perfect Game All-Texas Region First Team as a senior at Clear Creek High School in 2012. Jake is the brother of current Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Jarred Cosart. Today's picks also included right-handed pitcher Kevin McAvoy, Boston's fourth-round selection, who went 9-1 with a 2.62 ERA (29 ER/99.2 IP) and 94 strikeouts in 15 starts this season as a junior at Rhode Island's Bryant University. The 20-year-old native of Syracuse, NY became the highest-drafted player in school history. McAvoy topped the Northeast Conference in both strikeouts and innings pitched, and helped the Bulldogs to the 2014 NEC title. Last summer, he pitched for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Please see the attached release for a full list of the Red Sox' 2014 draft selections for Rounds 1-10.

Archive for the ‘pets’ Tag Baby Groot, the Lazarus Hawthorn We had a scarlet hawthorn tree in our front yard. It died a few years ago. I gave it every chance, we watered it for a year and then let it stay an eyesore for another six months before we gave up and had it removed. And I mean removed. We had the stump ground down four feet below the soil surface, because we wanted to plant another tree there eventually. This is important, because that tree was not just dead (really, a year and a half with no living leaf on it), it was gone. Then we had the worst winter in decades, fondly known as the snowpocalypse of 2017. A carport collapsed, warping the air conditioner so that it had to be replaced, destroying the chest freezer, and damaging the paint of my car. And blocking our access to the back yard for about four months. By the time we got the mess cleaned up and the carport replaced, the back yard was a shambles–and it hadn’t been in great shape before. So plans were made, money saved up, and in June 2018 we had both front and back yards taken out and redone simply, keeping a couple of rose bushes in the front and…. Hey, where did this little hawthorn tree come from growing in exactly the same spot as the original tree? Yeah. Our hawthorn came back not just from the dead, but from the dead-and-removed. The landscapers weed-whacked it a bit before Spooky Man noticed what it was, and he saved it. Because it’s either a zombie or our very own Baby Groot. Yeah, our tree has a name now, and we are babying Baby Groot. She is ours and we love her. Marroooo! The Cat in the Pack I have a cat who, I think, thinks he’s a dog. I have another cat who will speak dog if Spooky Man asks him to. What does this have to do with “Marroooo!”? Well, we took Stuart to the vet last summer with Hank the dog. And he discovered — again — that he doesn’t like car rides. We discovered what he sounds like when he tries to howl like Hank: Meeeoooow. Meeeooowww. Maarrroooo! This is all backstory. Tuffy, the outside cat, recently had to spend the night inside because Spooky Man was sure it was going to be Too Cold For Outside Cats. At four a.m., my darling man got up to use the facilities and Tuffy — wide awake because all self-respecting cats should be out catting around at four in the morning, thank you very much — meowed and chirped to go outside, please. Spooky Man said, “Okay, you can go outside if you give me one ‘maroo’ and one ‘maroo’ only.” Tuffy immediately said, “Maroo?” Yes, it was in the form of a question. A rather puzzled question, too, actually. Spooky Man let him out. It took me 15 minutes to stop giggling and go back to sleep. This is the sort of reality you can never put in a novel because it won’t be believed. Ma-ma-ma-marrrooooo! Shar-Pei Tidbit Spooky Man reminded me today that Chinese Shar-Pei’s are not a breed the Idaho prison system uses for its guard dog program. One of the K9 folks once told him, circa 1994, “They’re great barkers. They sound ferocious.” (heavy sigh) “But they’re just too damned happy to actually bite anyone, even with training.” I like that in a companion dog. Stuart the IT Cat Stuart somehow reformatted Spooky Man’s shiny-new-laptop solid-state hard drive RAID on Tuesday. He (Spooky Man, not Stuart) had downloaded a rather large file and wanted to copy it onto a flash drive. Stepping into another room for a moment, he returned to find him (Stuart, not Spooky Man) standing on the keyboard, trying to remove the flash drive (bad kitty! you have to unmount it first!). Upon rebooting, the computer couldn’t find Windows. Spooky man spent most of Wednesday reinstalling and reconfiguring the computer. But even after all that, it still wasn’t right. The third drive was missing, somehow — I say “somehow” because when I asked “so what’s wrong with it?” he made a face, then mumbled something along the lines of “Damned cat, I should have skinned him.” So this morning, on the way home from the last doctor appointment for the month, we stopped at Best Buy and he asked a Geek Squad person for a second opinion. The drives are all fine. They’re just uncoupled, and the third one, which I understand is some kind of hybrid hard drive that is half-solid state and half-normal, is empty. Somehow, Stuart managed to reformat that hard drive, says Spooky Man. I say, he’s quite an intelligent cat — by nine months of age, he had figured out how to open drawers and understood that the doorknob opens a door — but I don’t think he’s quite that intelligent. Perhaps Spooky Man did something (or failed to do some other thing) while reinstalling Windows yesterday that changed his RAID from all three drives to only the fully solid-state drives and reformatted the hybrid. I didn’t say that in the store, because then he would have looked stupid in front of a Geek Squad Geek. Because of a cat. And he’s an A+ certified nerd (Spooky Man, not Stuart). Not acceptable. However, the final answer is that the computer is fine, the cat is fine, the hard drive is fine, and Spooky Man didn’t look stupid in front of the Geek Squad. They didn’t even charge us for looking at it. Acceptable. At some point, Spooky Man will have to accept that a highly intelligent cat is far more dangerous than a normal cat and treat Stuart accordingly. You cannot stick something interesting and different looking into the edge of the thing that you put on your lap (instead of a cat, the horror) and not expect him to investigate as soon as you’re not looking. Well, you can, but you might end up looking stupid in front of a Geek. Fur Family Update Still no photos of the other two cats… Serena had a mat in her fur, Spooky Man tried to cut it out; one snip went wrong and she now has a bandage on the small hole in her skin. Spooky Man feels awful, since he’s the only human she really likes. No photos until she heals, which might take a while — she’s going to be 20 years old around the first of September, which is about the human equivalent of 120. Tuffi acquired an abscess at the base of his right ear that he scratched open. It was ugly; at one point, he had gotten all the fur off his right ear and had what appeared to be a gigantic hole in the skin. The original scab looked like it covered half of his ear, and the rest of the ear had that glossy look of burned skin. He was not pleased about the wound cleaning, the peroxide treatment or the surface antibiotic. He was not pleased about house arrest, either. I wasn’t pleased about holding down a growling cat built like a linebacker, with only a towel between us, while Spooky Man cleaned, disinfected and applied antibiotic ointment. The fur is starting to grow back (Spooky Man was concerned that he’d have a bald ear forever) and the scab is now smaller than a standard pencil eraser. So he won’t be ready for a portrait until his ear is fully recovered. Some people’s furry kids.

That time Toro Chan took the boat to shoot Titans of Mavericks 2016. This is a high adrenaline, big wave surfing event at the legendary Mavericks surf break located near Half Moon Bay, south of San Fransisco. 24 Titans attempt to challenge & compete at the highest level of skill, risk and athleticism in massive swells on the biggest and best day of winter. Read more about the Titans of Mavericks event: HERE Titans of Mavericks Swell Photo by Troy Williams Was this the first time you photographed the Titans of Mavericks? Yes, it was my first time shooting this contest. Since we just returned to the US after spending the last eight years in Okinawa, The Big Wave and WSL contests (in addition to all the other, smaller events) really captured my interest. But being a non-WSL event AND that it is Maverick’s after all, it really stoked my interest to try and get up close to the action. Had to do a bit of internet searching and asking local photographers for pointers on getting a good seat to see the action. In the end, I settled on a charter boat out of Half Moon Bay. How was the Mavericks swell on this day? I would have to say the swell was ‘so-so’ for the event. The reason I say that is because the week prior had exceptionally good conditions but because of the Super Bowl blackout, the Titans of Mavericks contest organizers weren’t able to get support from local agencies that were already committed for the SB. That being said, as the day went on, the swell improved and we still got to see some impressive action from the competitors. You were in a boat, shooting the surfers at Mavericks. Talk us through that. At first, I thought it would be relatively easy but with the swell, it was a bit difficult when shooting as I’d be ready to press the shutter and we’d be hit by some swell which would cause quite a bit of bouncing around. Needless to say, my camera strap was a good friend that day. Thank goodness for modern cameras and good auto focus as it was very challenging to lock on to a rider and try and shoot from a bouncy boat. I thought I managed to capture a fair amount of usable images but an event like the Titans of Maverick’s always leaves you wishing you had more time or a better vantage point. Titans of Mavericks Swell Photo by Troy Williams How did it feel to be in the channel at Mavericks knowing that every set coming through could have devastating consequences? I’d been on boats during some pretty precarious situations so I wasn’t too concerned about being able to ride out the contest but it was a totally different experience when 20ft waves are crashing down in close proximity to the boat (and I was on one of the smaller charter boats with only a handful of others). That being said, I think the event organizers kept everyone at a safe enough distance to enjoy the action without being overly concerned with a mishap. And even if there had been one, there were plenty of support personnel on hand for an almost immediate response. Titans of Mavericks Swell Photo by Troy Williams Three memorable Mavericks “frames” from that day. I think for me, the first memorable Maverick frame was “feeling” the wave for the first time. Obviously, the ride out was a bit bouncy with the rollers coming in but you could hear the thunder of the waves crashing before the boat would hit a high enough point to where you could see the wave. And when a good set came in, it was really awe inspiring to see mother nature at work. The second memorable frame was watching Jamie Sterling (I think it was 😉 ) drop in…just that incredible drop on an easily triple overhead wave was a sight to see. The drop itself was bigger than most waves I’d seen up to that point. And watching him ride at the front edge of that fury was something I think we all thoroughly enjoyed. The third memorable frame from Mavericks was watching one of the support personnel in the foreground of a huge one that went unridden. It made me think of the dangers faced by those charged with effecting a rescue of one of the competitors when waves of that size were crashing down all around them. Rescue Team always on call. Photo by Troy Williams Would you like to do it all over again? Of course. I hope that there will be enough swell this year for it to run again but if not, I’m kind of fixated on big wave surfing to the point that I just might hit Jaws. Shooting “normal” waves is fun and watching surfers put on a good show makes it worthwhile. But, even without a surfer on it, a giant wave is a sight to behold. Follow Troy “Toro” Williams

Shirdi Sai Baba’s Love Grace Miracle Stories: Summer of 2014 – Experiences With Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Previous Posts In This Series Shirdi Sai Devotee Priyanka Wagh says: We have all read that Baba is reading the mind of His devotees every moment. Many of us have experienced it also. I have been visiting Shirdi since my childhood. Had known that Baba gave darshan to multitudes in various forms. My trip to Shirdi in the Summer of 2014 was the most enchanting one. From moment to moment, He walked with me, read my thoughts, and rendered anubhuti (experience) after anubhuti. So much love and dedication from my beloved God Sai. The experience totally sold me to Baba. I cannot think of my life without Baba even momentarily. I am sure you will equally enjoy reading through it. It was a trip I planned with our sixteen year old daughter. Her name is Antara. I told my Mumbai friend Simit that I plan to go to Shirdi via Mumbai with Antara. Simit is a very successful businesswoman and my close buddy for many years now. To my delight, she narrated her previous night’s dream that we were going to Shirdi with her. She told us to fly to Mumbai and that she and her 13 year old daughter Charvy would accompany us. We readily agreed. Heartfelt thanks to Simit for the comfortable and enjoyable drive as we four laughed happily through the six hours drive. Gratitude to Simit again for a perfect hotel stay. On our way to Shirdi, I mentioned to her casually. Listen carefully, beloved readers, I said, “I want to do some annadaan or maybe for education this time in Shirdi”. She heard. After darshan in the Mandir complex we came out of the temple in the courtyard. Then a small girl approached me asking me to donate some school books. I asked her are you alone to which she gestured to a group of small kids which when I counted were nine in number! My beloved friends, we all know from Baba’s Satcharitra that nine indicated nav vidha bhakti. At that very moment Simit joined after her darshan and discouraged me from donating school books. She explained that these kids will finally sell the books and make money. I got alert and said to the girl that how about a lunch party at a nearby hotel for all nine of you. Oh and a festival was already being celebrated. All nine kids started running, jumping and frolicking towards a nearby hotel. Myself happy that Baba had read my thoughts and I began following the kids, Antara ahead of me following them. As we reached the hotel, a few more kids joined the party. The hotelwala alerted me that many more will come and he may not have space. He said that he would stop if there were any more kids at the security gate. But hold your breath my most beloved readers who can stop Baba from entering my party when He wants to join in? With fifteen of us now having been seated and orders for food were being placed. The kids were totally excited, feeling important, enthused, joyous and bewildered all at once. Antara was playing the perfect host. At that moment when decurity had stopped other kids from joining in, I noticed this girl in school uniform pulling my kurta as she wanted a chair to sit and join in the party. Without paying attention to how she could come inside I quickly offered her a chair from the neighbouring table. She was the only girl in school uniform and was a stranger to the other kids. All others knew each other and probably moved around together. All the kids had a hearty meal. The school girl was sitting next to me. I asked her how come she has school on a Saturday? She just smiled. When I asked her about what she wants to eat, in a husky male voice she answered Dal Bhaat, which means daal and rice. Was I hallucinated? Why didn’t I feel surprised that a ten year old school girl is uttering words in a male and ancient voice. She ate daal bhat from the thali. The kids were so overwhelmed by the fun party that two of them gifted Antara a small and beautiful statue of Baba – Baba in orange garb in sitting posture. I can say that there was a humongous amount of energy in the restaurant. I guess it was generated by all of us in unison. The other guests of the restaurant were also enjoying this fun and frolic party. We bade the kids goodbye with a heavy heart. I don’t know when, I simply don’t know, I didn’t realize, when did the school girl disappear? And where? I didn’t realize it until we were already out of Shirdi and on our way back to Mumbai. Halfway through Baba cleared the hallucination or whatever and said I enjoyed your party. Oh my God! At once the husky voice of the girl, she appeared on her own and disappeared with no one’s notice, no other kids familiar with her. Baba’s presence now becomes crystal clear. Really? Was She Baba in disguise? I leave it onto my readers. Om Sai Ram. Got In Mahaparayan Group And My Lost Phone Anonymous Shirdi Sai Devotee from the USA says: Hello Hetalji, I have been a devotee of Sai Baba for as long as I remember. He has helped me many times. I used to read Sai Baba miracles every morning. There one day a message prompted to join MahaParayan. I filled up the form for Baba to grant my wish for my son. I waited for a few days but there was no response. One day I started crying how He does not even think that I am worth it and that I can’t do Mahaparayan to show my devotion. I have a little idol of Sai Baba and Ganeshji in my jewellery box in the bathroom. Before going to bed I always talk to Him. Hence I cried and went to bed. To my surprise I got a call from Priyaji from Mahaparayan group 2162. It was 11:30 pm. She asked if I would like to join the Mahaparayan group? I was totally shocked and happy at the same time. I thanked Mahaparayan, joined the group in early 2019. My son lost his i-Phone in the college cafeteria. He was not sure how in minutes it was lost. His birthday was in a few days. And my in-laws came from India to visit us. We were not able to contact him unless he called us using his friends’ cell phones. He was so disappointed and we all thought it was not very responsible of him and more than anything his temporary license and ID cards and debit card were all in the cell phone pocket. He was supposed to take his permanent license next week. I prayed and prayed. He tried to find many places but couldn’t find it. He asked the college lost and found place too but no response. Finally we thought we had to forget about it and give him a new phone. He was planning to come home for his birthday. He came back and kept saying let’s wait. Two weeks passed. He came home with his friends. I told the priest in Sai Baba temple near us to pray and he said that he would definitely find it and asked him to check the car. He did but didn’t find it. By then my husband got a new phone for him. He was not happy that he lost his phone. This was Saturday and on Sunday he got a call from his friend that he had found his phone in the back of his trunk. It was a shock. I was praying to Baba that please don’t let anyone use his card and id and identity more than losing the phone. But to our surprise all the things were intact and he could go for his driving test. Baba saved us from big hassle. Big thanks to Baba for helping us. I wish He also listens to my prayer for my son for which I joined Mahaparayan. It has been a year but still waiting for the wish to come true. I had promised Sai Baba that I will post my experience and I did with both incidents. I hope Sai Baba grants me my wish again so that I can post it again. Please Sai Baba help me again. I am asking You to help my son. He believes in You. I want him to always have faith in You. Please fulfil my wish. Jai Sairam! Thank You Hetalji. Thursday – A Ray For Hope Anonymous Shirdi Sai Devotee from the UK says: I am a very small devotee of Sai living in the UK with my husband and daughter with the blessings of Sai. Thanks to all the working team behind this site and to all devotees who shared and read the experience as you all are increasing faith and patience in all of us. During this Coronavirus time, I am feeling like writing a small experience which in big news I shared but I feel like sharing it because it will increase devotees’ faith and patience in these difficult times. Coming to my experience, my husband lost his job during lockdown in the UK, and getting a job through a contract and working from home is difficult. But Sai Baba made it possible. Yesterday I prayed to Sai to please help my husband delivered his laptop as it was getting delayed because it was Thursday and I wanted His blessings as if it get delivered on Thursday and all good news with respect to job came on Thursday, like job confirmation, contract confirmation so I wanted Sai that laptop also get delivered on Thursday. Since it was 8:15 am here in the UK and I was eagerly waiting for Sai Baba to get it delivered today. I prayed that as soon as I get the laptop, I will complete this experience and will post it. I came here again to complete my experience and as I said see the laptop got delivered at 10:10 am and I am completing my experience at 11:20 am on Thursday. Also devotees said that it will get ready by Thursday and get delivered by weekend but see Baba’s miracle it got delivered by Thursday, Koti Koti Pranam! Om Sairam! Ananthkoti BrahmandaNayak RajadhiRaja YogiRaja Parabrahma Sri Sacchidananda Sadguru Shirdi Sainath Maharaj ki Jai. Baba’s Miracle Anonymous Shirdi Sai Devotee from Sweden says: I am a devotee of our Sai Deva who wants to be always at the feet of our Father Sai. This is really a big miracle which again proved impossible to possible only by our Sai Deva. One of my cousin’s husband suddenly collapsed with motions, vomiting and his full body was sweating. All happened at the same time which are actually the signs of heart stroke. It was identified and immediately was rushed to hospital and moved to the emergency ward. Treatment was going on. Meanwhile doctors examined the situation and reported a small tumour existing in the heart vessel. So the situation of my cousin was like a numb one. This happened on Wednesday. Doctors continued their treatment as a series of tests suggested throughout the week; where angiogram was supposed to be on Thursday. So my cousin was earlier a good devotee of our Sai Deva but due to few reasons she stopped going to our Sai’s temple every Thursday (earlier she visited Sai Deva temple every Thursday). Here comes the miracle as on Wednesday itself wherein one of my other cousins suggested her to listen to Sai Satcharitra online; she started listening on Thursday morning itself on the way to hospital, while in her mind she was praying that she starts coming for temple every Thursday here after. After she reached the hospital as suggested by doctors, an angiogram test was made. Report gas came out as a clear heart vessel, no problem nothing. A day before what they reported was totally different but on Thursday it was reported as all clear with no issue. This is all only because of our beloved Sai Deva. God bless all. Om Sairam! Baba Saved From Minor Health Issue Anonymous Shirdi Sai Devotee says: I am a devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba. Please don’t disclose my name, contact, location details. I would like to post my recent experience. Last week when I was eating my dinner, I swallowed some hard object unknowingly. It was stuck in my throat. I could not swallow nor could I vomit it. Later, I swallowed some rice, so that object went inside the stomach. That night I was feeling discomfort and cramps in my stomach. I was scared by thinking what if it could be some iron part or some pin went inside the stomach? I was scared to call the doctor as they might ask to take an ultrasound and the situation is not good outside to go to hospital due to fear of COVID-19. I prayed to our dear Shirdi Sai Baba, and applied Udi on his stomach and forehead and ate little Udi. Next day I was a little ok, but cramps were re-occurring every few hours. Then slowly I was feeling better after two days. With Shirdi Sai Baba’s blessings, in this current situation He cured it naturally without visiting a doctor. Sadhguru Shirdi Sai Baba’s blessings for all of us to have good health and to stay safe and cross this tough situation with ease. Om Sairam. Thank You Baba Anonymous Shirdi Sai Devotee from Indonesia says: A very big thank you to Hetalji and team for maintaining this site. Dear Baba, thank You so much. You helped to lighten the situation and the fight between my friend and her husband. She was very worried. Thank You Baba for helping them to get back to their normal life. Please be with my friend and her son and husband and their parents always. Also thank You Baba as You helped me and my friend during the presentation. Though the network went down but I could join in and no major issues happened. Also very big thank You Baba that no senior was there during the presentation. It was just me and my friend and the children. I would have felt very embarrassed if my seniors were there and my network problem happened twice. But I could quickly log in by Your grace Baba. I was very scared from the beginning that some seniors would be there during our presentation. But You did the miracle Baba, no one was there. You saved me. Thank You very much Baba.

CHAMPAIGN — Demand for the houses being built in the Bristol Place redevelopment project in north Champaign has far outstripped the supply. But for successful applicants, move-in day will be later this fall. There were more than 900 applicants for 90 single-family homes in this affordable-housing development when the waiting list opened and closed in a single day earlier this month, according to Champaign County Housing Authority CEO David Northern. Not all 90 homes were up for grabs. One is reserved for an on-site manager, who will pay rent, Northern said. Another 42 are set aside for families who were relocated from the older homes that were torn down to make way for this redevelopment. Those families have the first right to rent the new homes. Thirty-two of them applied, and the other 10 will remain on the list until all homes are leased, Northern said. “It’s problematic, because there are just a small number of units available,” he said. After years of work and planning, this development along North Market Street just north of Bradley Avenue is on track for the first residents to move in this October, Northern said. “It’s moving along really well, and I’m excited about the progress,” he said. The $25 million Bristol Place redevelopment is a three-way partnership between the city, the housing authority and a private developer, with the last of the older homes cleared away last year. Being built in their place are 64 single-family homes, 26 townhomes and a community building. Some 80 percent of the housing units are already built, Northern said. The homes are a mix of four-bedroom, three-bedroom and two-bedroom units, and some have two bathrooms. This redevelopment is also coming with a built-in incentive to help renters become eventual owners, because tenants will have options to buy their homes after 15 years. For those who remain compliant with leasing terms, a $2,000 per year credit from the developer will be available — up to $30,000 for 15 years — to help with the purchase cost, according to Northern. The housing authority will make a separate incentive of $2,000 a year available (up to eight years) for tenants who comply with lease terms and meet certain criteria but choose to move rather than stay and buy their homes. The money could be used to help buy a home elsewhere, Northern said, but recipients will be able to use it as they like. “Our long-term goal is to have home ownership,” he said. The second phase of this project — apartment units for seniors — hasn’t yet been approved, Northern said. Work is also progressing on the housing authority’s Haven at Market Place project under development along Interstate Drive between Neil Street and Prospect Avenue. On the way are 98 apartment units for adults age 55 and older, 74 of them in a three-story building and 24 in two single-story buildings for people 55 and older with special needs. The goal is to have at least some residents moving in this coming winter, Northern said. The first right to units at the Haven development will go to dozens of people relocated from Skelton Place, 302 S.

That’s all I gotta say about that 19 5 Wrote a review • ⭐ Crispy Salt & Pepper Calamari ⭐ Cos Lettuce ⭐ Bacon ⭐ Shaved Parmesan Cheese ⭐ Caesar Dressing This would be my first seafood burger in a very long time as I always go for beef or chicken. The calamari was very fresh, soft and tasty also there was heaps of it. The bacon wasn't crispy but I think the way they do it was best for this burger plus it was a good amount. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy like Cos lettuce should be. The cheese worked nicely with the delicious Caesar dressing and the bun was nice and soft. The fries that came with the burger were also nice and a great addition to my meal. Overall I enjoyed the burger and it was very fresh and easy to eat also this place is in a great location in the middle of Surfers Paradise. They also have a great selection of beers to choose from and the tasting paddle is at good price if you wanna sample a bunch of beers. 🍔🍺 10 5 Wrote a review • REDNECK BURGER There Signature Burger.

Stratus to extend weather forecasts “This new technology will provide us with more sophisticated models of the earth’s land, ocean and atmosphere, giving meteorologists better accuracy and precision in both long-term and short-term forecasting,” said Jack Hayes, director of NOAA’s National Weather Service, in a statement. “More accurate weather forecasts allow the National Weather Service to warn individual citizens and whole communities about impending dangerous weather well in advance so they can take action to protect lives and property.” The system, called Stratus, is based on IBM Power 575-based nodes and is capable of executing 69.7 trillion calculations per second, which is about four times the speed of the system now undertaking weather-forecasting duties for the agency. IBM is also providing gear for a back-up system, called Cirrus. Stratus is located in an IBM facility in Gaithersburg, Md., and Cirrus resides in a NASA-managed facility in Fairmont, W.V. Stratus will digest data on temperature, wind, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and other oceanographic and satellite information taken from the ground, air, sea and space..
Kelso: Louisville Rock-Solid Odds-On 10-13 Favorite To Win NCAA Title Submitted by Kelso Sturgeon on Friday, April 5, 2013 at 11:07 AM The college basketball season began six months ago with 347 undefeated NCAA Division I teams at least dreaming of winning a national championship, as far-fetched as that might have been for most. All but four of the 347 are now on the sidelines, with just four teams left to battle it out for that coveted title. As the Final Four begins Saturday evening at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, the number one overall seed, Louisville (33-5), is the odds on 10-13 favorite to win its third national championship. Michigan (30-7) is the second choice at 3-1, followed by Syracuse (33-5) at 4-1 and Wichita State (30-8) 12-1. Saturday's Final Four Matchups #1-Seeded Louisville (33-5) is -0.5 over #9-Seeded Wichita State (30-8) Tips Off 6:05 Eastern...Televised On CBS #4-Seeded Michigan (30-7) is -2 over #4 Syracuse (33-5) Tips Off 8:45 Eastern...Televised On CBS Bettors will have a long slate of wagering opportunities available on these games and the championship game Monday night. There are proposition bets galore, plus the opportunity to bet on totals and on the money line. For the record, the over/under on both games opened at 130.5 but is now 133 on the Louisville-Wichita State matchup and 131 on Michigan Syracuse. If you are a money-line player, here are the prices Louisville-Wichita State Louisville -700 Wichita State +500 Michigan-Syracuse Michigan is -140 Syracuse is +120 For those unfamiliar with money line betting, the prices mean that one making such a bet on Louisville would have to put up $700 to win $100, while those backing Wichita State would get $500 for each $100 wagered. Obviously, if you like either of the dogs to win straight up, with no pointspread involved, they offer the best prices. Louisville May Win - But The Cover Another Question Altogether I have said for since the NCAA Tournament began with 68 teams that Louisville stood head and shoulders above them all, and was playing on a much higher plan than anyone left standing. Nothing has happened to change my mind and there is no disagreement on my part the Cardinals deserve to be the odds-on favorites to win it all. I made them 1-10 after the Sweet Sixteen round. Winning it all is one thing and covering the number is quite another. The numbers of the two Final Four games are tighter than white on rice and raise many challenges for bettors. For instance, the Michigan-Syracuse game grades out as an almost dead-even affair and a case could actually be made for making either side a 2-point favorite. As noted earlier Michigan is the -2 choice in this one but why not the Orange. After all, Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim has faced Michigan Coach John Beilein nine times and stands 9-0 against him. One must also ask if the betting line on Louisville, a 10.5-point favorite over Wichita State, is accurate and legitimate or a shaded public number. It goes without saying bookmakers know they are going to get heavy Louisville action and it is lost on no one the Cardinals have won three of their four tournament games by double digits, the last one a shocking 22-point, 85-63, win over Duke. The -10.5 also must be weighed against the fact both Louisville and Wichita State are outstanding defensive teams. The Cardinals gave up an average of just 58.1 points per game this season and Wichita State has shut down every team it has beaten in the tournament, holding Pittsburgh to 35.2% from the floor, Gonzaga 35.6%, LaSalle 35.7% and Ohio State 31.1%. Each Team Has Its Own Winning Personality I have watched the Final Four teams all season long and each has a well-defined performance personality. - Louisville is loaded with blue-chip players and has no weaknesses. The Cardinals can score on anybody, have a lock-down defense and play with an intensity that wears teams down, causing them to just give up. - Michigan is talented, quick and can stand the heat. - Syracuse plays great defense, to perfection, I might add, and gives up just 58.6 points per game. The Orange are patient, try to control the pace of every game and any team that hopes to beat them better have a good point guard. - Wichita State is quite physical, focused, and fearless and challenges every single shot. The Shockers are the most relentless team in the Final Four and never give up, obviously believing they can beat anybody. - As for the coaches, all four are outstanding at coming up with effective game plans and also have the ability to quickly change them if things are not working. 150 Units Of Winning Action On Final Four Weekend I have worked long and hard on analyzing the Final Four and believe I have the edges to sweep right through Monday night's championship game. Here is how I will be handling the championship round, plus a special 50-unit game of the week play in the NBA. On Saturday I will be releasing both games at the 25-unit level. On Monday, in the championship game, I will be releasing a 50-unit side and total parlay 20 units on the side, 20 units on the total and then a 10-unit side/total parlay But that's not all that is happening this weekend. On Sunday I am releasing my 50-unit NBA Game of the Week and I am looking to win this one in dominating fashion. You can get the entire 150-unit weekend package for just $75, charged to your major credit card. The games will all be available here online or toll free at 1-800-755-2255. As noted earlier, all major credit cards accepted. Baseball Is Rolling And Winning I have the Major League Baseball season on track and winning and invite you to join me to make the big money the sport offers. I have gone 2-0 each of the past two days and intend to continue this run on Saturday and Sunday. You can get these four weekend winners for just $15 per day, charged to your major credit card.

Editor’s note: A version of this story appeared earlier in the community sections of The Tampa Tribune. PLANT CITY — Pete Rose is just a memory at Plant City Stadium., stands empty in the old clubhouse that now is offices and storage for the International Softball Federation. Emilio Mendoza, superintendent for the city’s parks division, said city crews cleaned out the clubhouse after the Reds left following 10 spring training seasons here. He can’t recall why Rose’s locker was left untouched. The Reds moved to Plant City in the late 1980s from their longtime spring training home, Al Lopez Field in Tampa. the locker is a conversation piece when visitors tour the federation’s headquarters at 1900 S. Park Road. Porter said the federation, which is raising money to build a hall of fame and museum at the stadium complex, would be willing to sell the locker. If a buyer doesn’t emerge, the locker will go on display when the softball museum opens, perhaps in about one year. [email protected] (813) 394-5103 Twitter: @dnicholsonTBO
Who will win Bigg Boss 11? Read this to know the winners… Here’s the inside news about the TOP 3 winners of Bigg Boss 11. By Aryeman Definitely, this season of Bigg Boss 11 has a good mix of contestants who surely know how to play the game right. Each one is masterminding their moves without resorting to cheap tactics, vulgarity or on-the-face rude behaviour. Many are aware that Salman Khan had put his foot down to the makers that he wouldn’t be tolerating any repeats which transpired in the last season. While all keep debating on whether the Bigg Boss show is scripted or no, what one needs to be aware is that the winners are also almost decided well in advance depending on the slot they fit into. The online and SMS polls do rake in the moolah but yes, the danger zone nomination rounds and tasks are centred on the winners to make it look like a clean win. Here’ a look at the TOP 3 winners whose images are currently being retransformed to give the show a boost. Hina Khan She has a massive fan-following from her previous Star Plus show. The fans are all out to support her. A smart cookie, Hina definitely is playing the game right with her clean image and yet resorting to subtle politics. Her constant cry-baby image has tagged the emotions of most audiences. Although she gets nominated in the danger zone, her fans pull her out of it. Vikas Gupta Smooth talker, smart player – Vikas knows all the moves. His real life trip from the low rungs of the glamour world to the high positions with channels, his godmother is all set to ensure he wins the title. Ekta Kapoor and Vikas share a friendship which goes years. She is ensuring that all the right votes go for him and he’s been trained with the research he did prior to entering the House. His initial tiffs with Shilpa Shinde were programmed to get the TRPs rolling. The Balaji Czarina is constantly on toes to set things right for Vikas while he is in the Bigg Boss house. Hiten Tejwani The audiences love someone who is positive, sorted and is devoid of all the drama in the house. A cool and sane chap, Hiten makes no efforts to play to the gallery nor does he get involved in dirty politics. He loves being teased by Arshi Khan and just speaks the minimum rather than raking up a new controversy. Another favourite of Ekta Kapoor, Hiten is surely a winner. From internal sources, it is quite evident that the Channel heads are in a quandary since no commoner or Aam Aadmi contestant has the punch to hit the TOP 3 winners list. There could be a wild card which could enter soon. Please Like, share, comment and follow us to have more inside news updates. #BiggBoss11 #BB11 #BiggBoss #SalmanKhan #BiggBoss11Winners #BB11Winner
Claims for ESP In response to: An Expense of Spirit from the May 15, 1980 issue To the Editors:. Gardner demonstrates how his absolute convictions allow him to take liberties to protect us from ourselves in presenting his apparently ingenious theory of a deliberate timing code used by a fraudulent experimenter being responsible for the high level of ESP shown in my study. He cites a publication of mine and my colleagues in the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research (1979, 73, 151-165), indicating his familiarity with that Journal, but he does not mention several earlier communications of mine in that same Journal (see 1977, 71, 81-102; 1978, 72, 81-87; 1979, 73, 44-60) reporting precognitive ESP effects in the experiment he attacks, which could not be accounted for in any way by his time code model. Again I stress the obligation genuine scientists (and genuine critics) have of dealing with all the facts in a case, not just those they find convenient. Gardner has presented a clearly inadequate theory to a literary audience as if it were valid. The interested reader is invited to look at the above communications to ascertain the facts for himself. There are other distortions in Gardner’s article that I shall not bother to waste our time correcting here: they are, unfortunately, typical of Gardner’s writings on parapsychology. When real scientists have criticisms of each other’s work, the standard procedure is to submit the criticisms to the appropriate technical journal. The submission is reviewed by other scientists for basic competency and relevance, and then published. I doubt that Mr. Gardner’s article would have stood up to this referring process in a legitimate scientific journal. A thoughtful reader might begin to wonder, then, why Mr. Gardner presents such a distorted and selectively incomplete picture of serious scientific research to the general audience represented by readers of this Review. The implications of ESP for understanding human nature are enormous, and call for extensive, high quality scientific research. A recent survey of mine showed hardly a dozen scientists working at it full time, on a most inadequate budget of only a little over half a million dollars a year for the entire United States. The subject is too important and too under-researched to waste further time with pseudo-critics like Mr. Gardner who are covertly trying to manipulate public opinion, rather than contributing anything to scientific progress. Charles T. Tart, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology University of California, Davis Martin Gardner replies: The funny thing about Tart’s letter is that he devotes most of it to attacking my motives but nowhere replies to its central point; namely that his first experiment had major flaws, he corrected some of them, repeated the test himself, got negative results, but has refused to retract his former sensational claims. Precognition is the paranormal perception of future events. Psi-missing is making such a low score on an ESP test that it indicates paranormal inhibition. When Tart went over the data for his original flawed test of clairvoyance he found that subjects who did extremely well on “hitting” target cards scored significantly low on the next card to be selected. There is a simple explanation. One of the grave defects of Tart’s first experiment was that his machine did not automatically record the numbers selected by his randomizer. When mathematicians found a strange absence of doublets (such as 2,2 or 7,7) in his target sequences, Tart explained this by saying that when assistants pushed the button to obtain a new number, and noticed that the displayed number did not change, they sometimes thought they hadn’t pushed hard enough, so they would push again before hand-recording the number! Clearly this freedom to keep pushing permits a sender to push again if the displayed number matches the subject’s last guess. Tart himself tells us that subjects almost never guessed the same number twice in a row. Knowing this, senders would have a strong unconscious urge to alter a random number if it matched the last guess. If done every time it would produce zero matching of guesses with +1 targets. Done occasionally it would significantly lower precognitive hits on +1 cards as well as raise hits on “real-time” targets. Tart has the chutzpah to claim that because he found some precognitive psi-missing in both experiments, this transforms the obvious failure of his replication into a whopping success! One’s mind reels at his capacity for self-deception. There are two false statements in Tart’s letter. First, he accuses me of knowing ESP is impossible. I know no such thing. I firmly believe it is possible. I do not believe it has been demonstrated by evidence commensurate with the extraordinary nature of its claims. Second, Tart says I accused his former assistant, Gaines Thomas, of deliberate fraud. I did nothing of the kind. I did show that Tart’s first experiment failed to guard against simple time-delay codes, and that in binary form such codes could operate without sender or subject being aware of their use. If there were collusion between sender and subject, which I doubt, the freedom to keep pushing the randomizer button also provides endless simple ways of beefing up a score. whoever dares to criticize their competence.

Card Clearances Act of 2019 (S. 464), was placed directly on the Senate calendar for consideration. “We shouldn’t punish hard-working, patriotic public servants because they were forced to go without pay during a 35-day shutdown they did not cause,” said Senator Cardin. “Many federal workers and contractors are subject to high security standards that include rigorous and routine financial background checks. Missing payments on debts caused by the recent shutdown could create delays or difficulties in securing or renewing security clearances. Nearly 80 percent of Americans live from one paycheck to the next, meaning that they cannot afford to miss even a single paycheck. Federal workers and contractors are no different. “Congress provided for backpay for federal employees, but that did not eliminate the 35 days of financial stress. We still have not approved backpay for federal contractors who also missed pay during the shutdown. Their security clearances – and their livelihoods – should not be in jeopardy as a result,” Cardin added. Joining as original cosponsors of Protecting Employees Security Clearances Act of 2019 (S. 464), are Senators Leahy, Jones, Baldwin, Kaine, Feinstein, Hirono, Klobuchar, Durbin, Shaheen, Cortez Masto, Hassan, and Van Hollen. The bill directs the Security Executive Agent to ensure that a lapse in appropriations (including the one that ended last month) is considered as a mitigating factor for initial or continued security clearance eligibility concerns during the adjudication process. More specifically, the bill states that “No head of any agency may revoke the national security eligibility of a covered employee because of a reduction in the credit score or negative information in a consumer credit file of the covered employee that is attributable to disrupted income payments as a result of a lapse in appropriations.” Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association (FBIAA) published a report entitled, “Voices From The Field: FBI Agent Accounts of the Real Consequences of the Government Shutdown.” The report warned of the dire national security consequences of the shutdown. It also documented the financial hardships FBIAA members were facing. Two comments from the FBIAA’s Central Region summed up the situation. One Agent wrote, “My wife and I are both FBI employees who were recently transferred to a new city and finally bought our first home. Now we can’t pay the mortgage for it. We contacted our lender, and they are refusing to work with us. They don’t want our ‘Hardship Letter’, they want money, period.” Another wrote, “There have been several employees who have gotten zero assistance from their mortgage lenders and banks regarding home and car loans and still have to make payments on time or get penalized. They are truly struggling to make ends meet.” ### Next Article Previous Article
Benefits notwithstanding, beginning martial arts training can be intimidating. No matter what physical shape you were in before, you will feel as clumsy as a toddler and as clueless as an earthworm at the beginning. You’ll mix up your left from your right. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’re crumbling under information overload. You’ll swear that you understand a concept, but your body just won’t cooperate. You’ll probably get frustrated, and you may even get bored...but I promise you it’s worth it! White belt is one of the most valuable times in a martial artist’s career. gain a support system and make lifelong friends. You’ll feel motivated in ways you may not have experienced before. You’ll learn to trust your intuition and your newfound knowledge. There are a few things I wish I’d known as a white belt. Here are five tips that will help you kick start martial arts journey: 1. It’s okay to be wrong. Image credit: Bjjstyle.com It’s often been said that practicing martial arts is a marathon, not a sprint. Learning martial arts can be a slow, repetitive process. You will make many mistakes, and you may embarrass yourself. You will do things wrong before you do them right, and that is perfectly fine. I recently saw this great comment on a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu online forum: “Treat rolling like your laboratory.” Learn from your mistakes, and seek out feedback and guidance from your instructors. Embrace practicing the picky details, and treat your martial arts problems with fascination rather than frustration. You are not on the mat to win. You are on the mat to LEARN. 2. Martial arts will bring out the best in you…and once in a while, the worst. Image credit: Changstaekwondo.ca. Image credit: Columbiakarate.net Martial arts training can be exhausting and sometimes downright painful. You will push your body harder than you ever have before. You will get cuts, scrapes, bruises, and possibly longer-lasting injuries to your joints, bones, or muscles. You will get hit in the face, and you will fall down. You will feel like your heart is going to explode in your first sparring class, and you will sweat more than you’ve ever sweat in your life. Your ice pack, heating pad, a bag of Epsom salts, and anti-inflammatory medication may become your closest allies. Your body is your temple, your means of expression, your weapon, and your best friend. Treat it right with sleep, hydration, nutrition, and when necessary, proper medical treatment. Listen to your body’s needs. When you can push yourself a little harder, go for it. Conversely, when you need rest, do it. 4. When given the opportunity to try advanced techniques, take it. Image credit: Flickr.com The very first time I tried a flying sidekick I landed square on my bottom on a pile of stacked up kicking pads. I had recently been promoted to green belt and decided I’d try the advanced class, which was open to all belt levels above white. At the time of my spectacular debut, I was very embarrassed and even wondered if I deserved my new green belt, but I stuck it out and was grateful that I had had lots of time to practice before I was expected to perform flying kicks as a red belt. Waiting until a certain belt level to learn the “testing requirements” misses the point of training entirely. You are building a comprehensive martial arts toolbox, and the more you can learn and practice, the better. I am just as grateful for toughing it out in the advanced classes as a lower ranking color belt as I am now when I get to refine “white belt” fundamentals as a black belt. 5. Enjoy the journey. Image credit: Premier Martial Arts Holidays It’s not all about belts, and it’s not all about tournaments. Black belt is certainly an exciting and worthy motivator, but the true martial arts journey is as much of a mental and spiritual trek as it is physical. Every step is important, so don’t rush the process. All the pain, plateaus, and challenges give way to triumph and growth. You will amaze yourself at how strong, confident, and skilled you’ve become. Trust the process, and enjoy the journey. It is a great honor to practice martial arts and to wear the belt around your waist, no matter the color. Do right by your belt. Celebrate your advancements, but don’t forget your white belt foundation. Retain your white belt humility and curiosity all the way to black belt and beyond!

OUR ACADEMICS. Language Arts READING Using Pearson’s Reading Street curriculum, students will have command of letter names and sounds, use phonetic skills to become a fluent reader, identify story structure to aide in comprehension and read grade level appropriate material. WRITING The Lucy Calkin’s Writer’s Workshop program is implemented and sets a strong foundation for a love of writing. Students become authors as they take their ideas and stories through the writing process. Through mini-lessons, students learn how to ‘pre-write’ by using various graphic organizers and learn the importance of conventions such as capitalization, punctuation, and applying spelling patterns. Grammar lessons, applied to writing, provide students with a command of the English language. Science and Social Studies SCIENCE Our classroom is turned into a science lab as students learn about the world around them. The students learn about life cycles of living things and have opportunities to experiment with the three states of matter. SOCIAL STUDIES First graders study their families, neighborhood, and community. We will also study famous people and our nation. Lessons, learning celebrations and field trips from across the curriculum will enhance our study in science and social studies.

A relentless, tireless Seattle activist for more than 30 years, Steve Zemke isn’t waiting until election day to throw his hat in the ring to become the new chairman of the King County Democratic Party. The party in Washington’s most populous (and pro-Democratic) county will choose its chair at a reorganization meeting on December 4. Incumbent chair Suzie Sheary is not expected to run again. Zemke made his announcement on a newly created stevezemke.com web site. Zemke started out as a good government crusader as University of Washington student in the 1970’s. He was renowned for asking people to leaflet even on nights after UW home football victories. He was the organizing force behind the 1981 “WPPSS Initiative,” which required public votes before the Washington Public Power Supply System could sell more bonds to finance a nuclear construction program whose soaring costs that threatened to melt down the Northwest’s economy. The initiative was eventually thrown out by the courts, but succeeded in putting the breaks on WPPSS’ spending. The Supply System (now Energy Northwest) would eventually abandon four reactors in various stages of construction. Time has not mellowed Zemke. He has recently led Save the Trees, a group of North Seattle residents who won a court ruling halting the Seattle School District’s plan to chop down a grove of trees from the Ingraham High School campus. Zemke runs the popular MajorityRules.org website. He is an unrelenting critic of Tim Eyman initiatives and a board member of the Northwest Progressive Institute.

Workplace Skills Plan To be eligible to claim back from a SETA you first have to appoint a Skills Development Facilitator (SDF). This person can be full-time, part-time or on contract, but they need to be registered with your business sector’s SETA. Their role is to assist you with the second part of the process which is the development of a workplace skills plan and the submission of this to the relevant SETA. They should also be able to advise you on how to implement the plan, assist you in putting together the necessary annual training report (step three), advise you on the quality assurance requirements as set by the relevant SETA and serve as a contact person between your business and your. …a strategic document that articulates how the employer is going to address the training and development needs in the workplace. Quoted from Services Seta Management discusses the company’s goals with employees who in turn commit to the process of achieving these goals. Management gets the opportunity to discover talent as well as skills that they did not know that they had. It is mandatory for employers employing more than 50 people to prepare and submit their WSP’s to the relevant SETA’s. WSP Submission requirements: - WSP’s must be submitted to the SETA’s by a gazetted date. - WSP’s are a product of consultation between management and employee representatives. - Annual training / implementation reports must be prepared and submitted to relevant SETA by 30th June each year. - WSP’s must be prepared in a prescribed format (normally customised by SETA’s for their own specific requirements). PREPARING A WORKPLACE SKILLS PLAN – ACTION STEPS The following general guidelines indicate the phases to be followed and the action steps that need to be taken: - The actions that need to be taken under each phase have been broken down into individual action steps to ensure that all relevant issues are addressed. However, in practice many of these action steps may take place simultaneously; - The skills development strategy should be planned so as to ensure that all related actions are coordinated and integrated; - Where consultation, discussion and decisions are required, it is not necessary to set up special meetings, as skills planning issues can be discussed in regular meetings of bodies such as Board meetings, Executive meetings, staff meetings. Develop your WSP in four simple steps: Step 1: Write down what skills you already have in your organisation The easiest way of doing this is to perform a skills audit, which essentially consists of documenting which skills you have in your business and determining which skills you still need. There are a number of ways in which you can conduct a skills audit in your organisation, three of these being a: - Panel audit; - Consultant audit; and - One-on-one audit. Panel audit: The panel, in a panel audit, is made up of managers, subject matter experts and HR experts. The audit is completed through discussion and is possibly the fairest method of completing an audit because it provides a well-rounded view of a particular company’s skills. Consultant audit: During this type of audit, external consultants assess the skills in your company by interviewing both managers and employees. One-on-one audit: This type of skills audit is similar to a performance appraisal where the person is rated against a pre-defined skills matrix that is linked to his or her job description. Step 2: Determine which skills you want to develop In this step, you need to look at your company’s strategic development priorities and determine what the skills are which will allow you to fulfil these priorities. Once you’ve done this, look at how best you can inject your organisation with the skills you require. Step 3: Decide how you are going to develop these skills For example, send the employees you want to upskill on a specific course. Keep a record of performance before and after skills intervention. This can be done using tools such as Competency Assessment Tools. In closing, the intention of the South African government is to develop skills through the Skills Development Levy and the SETA’s. As employers, you not only have the opportunity to take advantage of the funds available in the SETA’s, but also the opportunity to improve the skills of your workforce. Having improved skills can only enhance your business and make it more profitable.

Apparently, I’m a sucker for product packaging, cause this new white fudge caramel popcorn from Snackwell, with its stylish green and pink zebra stripes, really caught my eye at the store this weekend. This morning I had a little sampling of these buttery white chocolaty popcorn nuggets and wowee, wow, wow…Delish! Since this was a buy one get one, I got the chocolate kind too, Which I definitely wouldn’t walk a mile for. It tasted a lot like coffee flavored popcorn. I love my coffee, but I don’t want it on my corn. The only drawback to this snack is that I wanted to eat another bag after finishing the first one, they don’t call me the stylish piggy for no reason! Happy stylish snacking:) xoxofoodxoxo -stylishpiggy
