Summary: Dave Cheppelle plays Tron Carter, a black drug dealer, in this satirical look at the criminal justice system. As a spoof of "Law and Order," the skit is woven from the parallel stories of Tron and a wealthy white man, both accused of drug dealing and both regarded very differently by the criminal justice system. The first clip features the first half of the skit, and the second clip features the ending. In its entirety, the skit works well as a means of provoking students to think critically about how encounters with police and the courts vary enormously for people depending on their race and social class. After showing the clip, it might be useful to ask students to reflect on why they may have found parts of it funny. For example, why is it funny when it is revealed that the white criminal's jury is composed entirely of black men?

Create Merch By Amazon t-shirt promotions for local businesses and make money today!
to make $235,000 with Merch By Amazon!
What if you could make money TODAY with your Merch by Amazon account?
Would you like to know how to use Merch By Amazon in a very cool, new way to bring home checks for $250, $500, $750 and even $1,000 per day?
Would you like to know how Mike made $63,000 in his FIRST MONTH by using his Merch By Amazon in THIS UNIQUE WAY?
Then be sure to read this entire page, because in this exciting, new video training course, you’ll learn how to do exactly that!
The business model is called “Local Merch” and with 120 Local Merch deals under his belt, there is no one who does it better than Mike Gual.
While most people are busy doing the Merch by Amazon business the “traditional way”, Mike Gual has been quietly bringing home checks for hundreds and even thousands of dollars per day.
Using Mike’s unique approach, you show a business owner how you can increase their sales with a very simple t-shirt promotion.
And, because this promotion is NOT something complicated, (like building a website, doing SEO or running Facebook ads for them) most business owners quickly understand the benefits and quickly sign on.
When they agree to the promotion idea, they pay you $250 as a set-up fee to get the promotion started!
And, this works for all kinds of businesses!
And, this t-shirt promotion WORKS!
For example, Mike used this exact promotion method to generate an additional 60 appointments for a local hair salon.
That promotion generated an extra $6,000+ for the business!
So, not only will you make some great money, but you will also be providing an amazing service for the business!
Now, imagine that you do just one deal a day – that means you bring home $250 a day.
And, let’s say you take the weekends off.
You are now making $5,000 a month!
AND, that does not count royalties on the t-shirts!
Imagine, no more waiting 60 days for Merch royalties – you get a check, TODAY.
Not only that, but doing the Merch By Amazon business in this way, you can actually tier up your Merch business very quickly as the business sells lots of t-shirts for each promotion.
And, you don’t have to hire lots of designers or create thousands of designs, either!
All you will need is the business’ LOGO because that’s what we’ll put on the t-shirts!
Really, this is a super-simple business that anyone can do.
Speaking of six-figure incomes, Mike will also be revealing the details about his HUGE $235,000 deal with a local tire company chain.
In that deal, Mike walked into a local tire store (that happened to be part of a chain of stores) and presented this same exact LOCAL MERCH promotion idea.
Well, that one presentation led to him earning $235,000 from that ONE deal!
You’ll get the details of this amazing Six-Figure deal inside the course.
So, if you want an easy and simple business model that can make you big checks every day and that you can grow as big as you want, then this is the video training for you!
when you use the LOCAL MERCH business model.
And, now, FINALLY, Mike Gual is revealing all.

Kelly Services, a temp agency, is now the second biggest private employer in the U.S. Only heavily subsidized, socially-toxic Walmart employs more people across the country. Last month, Michael Grabell filed this report for Pro Publica on the state of the temporary work in America. The implications are profound, not just for the individuals involved and for their families, but for our economic system going forward, for our democracy and for our society overall.
Grabell paints a picture that sounds like the situation involving day laborers in third world countries but that isn't what he's writing about. "The people here," he writes, "are not day laborers looking for an odd job from a passing contractor. They are regular employees of temp agencies working in the supply chain of many of America’s largest companies – Walmart, Macy’s, Nike, Frito-Lay. They make our frozen pizzas, sort the recycling from our trash, cut our vegetables and clean our imported fish. They unload clothing and toys made overseas and pack them to fill our store shelves. They are as important to the global economy as shipping containers and Asian garment workers." And many scrape by on the stingy minimum wage the Republicans and their conservative allies are trying to abolish, "renting rooms in rundown houses, eating dinners of beans and potatoes, and surviving on food banks and taxpayer-funded health care. They almost never get benefits and have little opportunity for advancement." Last month the Labor Department reported that there are now 2.7 million temp workers in the work force, the most ever. About a fifth of the job growth since the end of Bush's Great Recession has been in the "temp sector."
Rosa, a 49-year-old Mexican immigrant with thin glasses and a curly bob of brown hair, has been a temp worker for the better part of 12 years. She has packed free samples for Walmart, put together displays for Sony, printed ads for Marlboro, made air filters for the Navy and boxed textbooks for elite colleges and universities. None of the work led to a full-time job.
Even though some assignments last months, such as her recent job packaging razors for Philips Norelco, every day is a crapshoot for Rosa. She must first check in at the temp agency in Hanover Park, Ill., by 4:30 a.m. and wait. If she is lucky enough to be called, she must then take a van or bus to the worksite. And even though the agency, Staffing Network, is her legal employer, she is not paid until she gets to the assembly line at 6 a.m.
In Kane County, Ill., where Rosa lives, one in every 14 workers is a temp. Such high concentrations of temp workers exist in Grand Rapids, Mich.; Middlesex County, N.J.; Memphis, Tenn.; the Inland Empire of California; and Lehigh County, Pa. In New Jersey, white vans zip through an old Hungarian neighborhood in New Brunswick, picking up workers at temp agencies along French Street. In Joliet, Ill., one temp agency operated out of a motel meeting room once a week, supplying labor to the layers of logistics contractors at one of Walmart’s biggest warehouses. In Greenville County, S.C., near BMW’s U.S. manufacturing plant, one in 12 workers was a temp in 2012. A decade before, it was one in 22.
...At least 840,000 temp workers are like Rosa: working blue-collar jobs and earning less than $25,000 a year, a ProPublica analysis of federal labor data found. Only about 30 percent of industrial temp jobs will become permanent, according to a survey by Staffing Industry Analysts.
...African-Americans make up 11 percent of the overall workforce but more than 20 percent of temp workers. Willie Pearson, who is African-American, has been a full-time worker at BMW's South Carolina plant for 14 years. But since at least 2005, he said, he hasn't seen anyone who’s “been hired straight on. It’s all been through temporary agencies.” The company says “after six months they can hire them,” he said, “but I’d say it’s only one out of five” who actually lands a full-time job... Latinos make up about 20 percent of all temp workers. In many temp towns, agencies have flocked to neighborhoods full of undocumented immigrants, finding labor that is kept cheap in part by these workers’ legal vulnerability: They cannot complain without risking deportation.
In the 1960s, agencies such as Kelly Services and Manpower advertised their services as women’s work, providing “pin money” to housewives, according to Erin Hatton, a SUNY Buffalo sociologist and author of The Temp Economy. And they marketed the advantages of workers that the host company wasn’t responsible for-- a theme that continues today.
...Unions, on the ropes nationwide, have historically done little for temp workers. The temp industry initially won union backing by promising never to cross picket lines. But in 1985, the Federal Trade Commission ruled that the trade association could not force its members to honor that pledge; so they didn’t.
Berto Gutierrez, who has worked several stints at the Walmart warehouse in Elwood, Ill., provided ProPublica with a copy of a 2011 paycheck from subcontractor Eclipse Advantage. The check shows he was paid only $57.81 for 12.5 hours of work, or $4.62 an hour. Neither Eclipse, Schneider nor Walmart provided an explanation for Gutierrez’s paycheck.
...The growing temporary sector does little to sustain workers’ standard of living. Temp agencies consistently rank among the worst large industries for the rate of wage and hour violations, according a ProPublica analysis of federal enforcement data. A 2005 Labor Department survey, the most recent available, found that only 4 percent of temps have pensions or retirement plans from their employers. Only 8 percent get health insurance from their employers, compared with 56 percent of permanent workers. What employers don’t provide, workers get from the social safety net, i.e., taxpayers.
With the major provisions of health-care reform set to take effect in 2014, there’s growing evidence that 2013 is becoming a boom year for temping out. TempWorks, which sells software that keeps track of payroll and worker orders, says sales to staffing agencies have been going through the roof and that temp firms tell them the uptick is because of Obamacare.
...Members of Congress have introduced a handful of bills protecting temp workers in the past two decades. None have made it out of committee. Efforts on the state level have met similar resistance.
. “I’ve always dreamed of having a little house, a really small, little house,” she said. Asked if she thought she’d ever be able to buy one, Rosa laughed.
There are some key points and factors are mentioned here which are really considered to be good for attaining the results that might be responsible for the situations.

Some of this will certainly be repetitious but here are some general common sense (I think) comments about the economy and the markets.
The Stock Market continues to make new highs…as investment geniuses everywhere keep calling for a correction or bear market.
Having watched the market plow ahead through month after month…and year after year… of investment “advisory” doubt from the brokerage houses…meaning they have essentially NOT been buyers, I cannot imagine any other end to this still thundering bull market than seeing an absolute rip-roaring lift off, an eruption that, once and for all, totally silences all the of those forever wrong “analysts”, “strategists”, financial “consultants” and whatever other misnomers Wall Street uses to supposedly qualify their “advisers” to provide sound advice and “expert” opinions.
Wall Street DOESN’T know. Their primary business is to gather as much money and market as much paper as they possibly can…and THAT is what they are good at.
I will provide a few reasons below, but right now I will just say…I CONTINUE TO THINK WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE A ROCKET IN EQUITIES.
There are definitely going to be shortages of just about anything material that is involved in the construction industry. Period. And I would add that it will also result in labor shortages…and WAGE INFLATION…But specifically here, I’ll first address the Lumber market and say that I think the Lumber Futures contract (your basic, trusty, 2 x 4) has nowhere to go but to the MOON. Plain and simple, this industry was already suffering from mills that went out of business with the Great Recession creating shortages of various lumber cuts, and NOW, OVERNIGHT, Harvey has created more demand for the lumber business than they probably would have seen in the next five years combined.
I think you would have to be brain dead to not believe this market will be MUCH higher 3-6 months from now…This flood, and this biggest natural disaster in our history, is no different than when a drought hits the Midwest and destroys all the crops, leading to prices going through the roof…the only difference here being that a drought takes weeks or months to develop…and this happened in a matter of days.
The supply-demand equation for Lumber HAS changed overnight. LUMBER IS A BUY. IN MY MIND, THERE IS NO TELLING WHERE IT IS GOING.
And Crude Oil is NOT going down…With everything you hear from the media and yakheads, you’d think it was in bearish overdrive or something…But it’s NOT.
THE STOCK MARKET IS TELLING YOU THAT BETTER AND BETTER TIMES ARE COMING.
I cannot think of a single major industry that is doing anything but expanding.
Most commodity prices actually bottomed a year ago and have been moving higher…not without pullbacks of course.
The Houston disaster, as awful as it is for people, does represent more economic activity going forward that is almost imaginable…The rebuild there WILL push prices higher in just about EVERYTHING you can think of that goes into the reconstruction and refurbishing and replacing of just about every facet of an entire city…And the impact and effects will NOT just be in Texas…If, for example, every stick of lumber you can find ends up in Houston, it means that shortages are going to be occurring everywhere else…And for the sake of this example, if every contractor AND laborer heads to Texas, it’s going to mean difficulty finding people to do the same job everywhere else…and if you think the people who DO stay where they are will be cheaper to contract , or to hire, I firmly believe you are mistaken.
Here’s my point, and I am just banging this out, roughly, to be done here…We ALREADY had a tight labor market. We ALREADY were seeing the early signs of inflation on the horizon (however much the New York know nothings want to tell you we are still in a “deflationary environment)…and both of those situations are ONLY…and I will say DEFINITELY…going to get tighter…And dear friends, WAGE AND PRICE INFLATION ARE COMING (an aside, do you think housing construction and therefore housing prices are going to get anything but more expensive…EVERYWHERE?)…AND RIGHT TOGETHER WITH THEM, THE ECONOMY, WITH THIS TOTALLY NEW, TOTALLY MASSIVE, SHOT OF ACTIVITY (CONSTRUCTION, AND SPENDING, AND BORROWED MONEY) IS ONLY GOING TO ACCELERATE.
More than ever, I think that rates ARE now on the move. I think the upside “retracement” since March in Bonds and Eurodollars is OVER…and BOTH of these markets will now start moving quickly lower…quite possibly straight out of this long holiday weekend (which I have seen be a turning point in various markets on countless occasions).
And for those of you of who are still on the fence, I encourage you to do something proactive with this idea. Don’t just sit there and NOW…NOT believe in this idea the way you did 6-9 months ago. Guys, rates ARE going up. Get back on with SOMETHING…now, BEFORE this thing gets cranking and options get expensive again. Right now, in my mind, they are practically giving them away.
And Bonds…Today’s employment number should have been bullish for Bonds and Eurodollars. They both jumped up hard for about 1 minute then immediately reversed…which brings to mind an old adage from the first famous trader I ever studied: Bearish response to a bullish report is a often an important signal that a market is going lower.
Apologies for pounding the table so hard, but when NOBODY is willing to do this…previous losses being considered or not…I’m pretty sure I KNOW what it means…And I also cannot bear the thought…and I have been here before…of seeing guys who WERE there…NOT be there when the trade finally happens. This is NOT the time to “just watch it.” I HAVE been here before.

I love cooking with packets, no cleanup!!! I learned this method as a girl scout for outdoor cooking & it works just as well indoors.
1)Heat oven to 450 degrees.
2)Place each fish fillet on a 12-inch square of aluminum foil. Top each fish fillet with one-fourth of the vegetables. Sprinkle with dillweed, salt and pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon wine over each mound of vegetables.
3)Fold up sides of foil to make a tent; Fold top edges over to seal. Fold in sides, making a packet; Fold to seal. Place packets on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4)Bake about 20 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and fish flakes easily with fork.

I am an addict. I need an intervention.
I have a serious problem right now with vanilla cones from Dariy Queen. Whew! At least it’s out there now – I’ve owned up to my problem. The funny thing is that I really am not a fan of vanilla ice cream – but there is something magical about that cold, creamy cone that beckons me like the bat symbol.
In other news – I have not yet finished Trust No One yet! I was just to lazy and tired to read last night and instead spent a few hours on the sofa with the kitties catching up on the last season of The Good Wife. I do love that show and I’m super excited to hear Jeffery Dean Morgan is joining the cast. Though he will always be Denny Douquette to me.
The events of today were lunch and Magic Mike XXL. So, it was a good day!! Nothing could be bad about 2 hours and 10 minutes of Channing Tatum. Was the movie great? Nope…but no one cares. The story was a little slow and the dialog was sort of strange in places but, no one cares! I even thought the ending was kind of a let down. No. One. Cares.
Anyone going to see this is NOT going for the story line or the snappy dialog or for any other reason but to see Channing Tatum and Company dance their half naked asses off. And on that point, Magic Mike XXL delivers. There are a few really great scenes and the entire first 3/4 of the movie is just foreplay (ha ha) and build up to the last 30 minutes or so of OMG hotness.
That’s pretty much all for the day…ice cream cones and nearly naked hot men. What else could a gal want?

Army-Air Force veteran Joe Lynch, 92, of North Versailles relates his memories of World War II to Todd DePastino, executive director of the Veterans Breakfast Club, an organization that gathers oral histories of veters, during a presentation Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014, in the Senator John Heinz History Center.
• There were 77 brothers aboard the USS Arizona on Dec. 7, 1941. Of them, 62 were killed. Only one full set of brothers, Kenneth and Russell Warriner, survived. There was one father-son pairing on the ship that day. Both Thomas August Free and his son, William Thomas, were killed.
by divers beneath the sunken ship's gun turrets.
• Bullet holes and other damage from the attack are still visible at many military installations on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Officials have chosen not to repair the damage to maintain a reminder of the lives lost and the need for the military to be on alert at all times.
• The original targets of the attack were the aircraft carriers anchored at Pearl Harbor, but since they were all out to sea, Japanese bombers focused on the fleet's battleships.
dispatched midget subs to target the battleships.
U.S. forces sunk four of the subs and captured the fifth.
About 40 World War II veterans Saturday marked the 73rd anniversary of the attack that propelled the United States into World War II by relating their war stories at a gathering at the Senator John Heinz History Center in the Strip District.
Todd DePastino, executive director of the Veterans Breakfast Club, which is archiving oral histories of veterans, said he knows of only two Pearl Harbor survivors in Western Pennsylvania. Neither attended the history center event.
Heinz History Center President and CEO Andy Masich announced that the center will permanently house oral histories collected by Veterans Voices of Pittsburgh, which is partnered with the breakfast club.
The Veterans Breakfast Club is scheduled to celebrate the opening of the veterans archive at the history center on April 30. The center will open a World War II memorabilia exhibit on April 25.
Many veterans said Saturday that they had enlisted in the military before the war, expecting only to serve for a year or so, not suspecting that they’d soon be on the front lines of the world conflict.
“It was either go into the coal mines or go into the service,” Lynch said.
Army veteran John Kuzio, 94, of New Cumberland, W.Va., wanted to hear other veterans tell their stories. He had given an oral history at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Oakland in 1992 that became part of a documentary.
“It was personal satisfaction that I’d been in the service, and I served my country,” Kuzio said.
Patricia Tylka of Mt. Lebanon read recollections of her father, Army Tech Sgt. Joseph F. Kralik Sr., who was stationed at Fort Shafter on Oahu Island near Pearl Harbor.
“He prayed for his mother and his sister, back in Pennsylvania, that they were safe, since there was no way of knowing what was going on in the rest of the country,” she said.

PHILADELPHIA (WABC) -- Many of the faithful will do anything for an audience with the pope.
Case in point: more than 60 families from a church in New Jersey will take refuge with the animals at the Philadelphia Zoo.
The unique lodging is a way for the parishioners to make a pilgrimage without breaking the bank.
"We're sleeping at the zoo just to see Pope Francis, we're very excited," said Cathy Hunt, of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.
Parishioners at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Ridgewood, New Jersey are taking the pilgrimage to see the pope and pitching camp at the Philadelphia Zoo.
"We looked into it a bit and we really thought this would be the best for families," Hunt said.
"I've been to a lot of the world youth days and a lot of those times were spent sleeping on the floors, it will be really beautiful," said Father Kevin Waymel, of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
This is one of three buildings where the group will sleep Saturday night, the KidsZooU.
"Francis is the patron saint of animals, so Pope Francis might have a better chance of showing up at the zoo," said Ali Birsall, a 6th grader.
And these kids already know what to expect, accommodations only, no bed, no shower.
"Are you worried about not taking a shower?" Eyewitness News asked.
"Yeah," said James Stappenbeck, a 3rd grader.
"Are you going to pack anything special to see the pope?" Eyewitness News asked.
"Maybe like a stuffed animal," said Annabella Leone, a 3rd grader.
"What do you think the Pope is going to say to everybody?" Eyewitness News asked.
"That, 'I'm surprised that you stayed in the zoo to see me,'" another student said.
Not only will they get to see the pope, the group will have the Philadelphia Zoo all to themselves. They get a private tour of all of the exhibits, even the animals, at night.
"You get to see the animals when they're sleeping," said Anthony Leone, a 5th grader.
"Have you made your poster for Pope Francis yet?" Eyewitness News asked.
"No, I haven't but I'm going to write, 'Hey Pope Francis, we're sleeping at the zoo just to see you,'" said Sean Hunt, a 5th grader.
Many of those going are from Academy of our Lady in Glen Rock, including the principal and two of his daughters.
"Does this take the place of Disney World?" Eyewitness News asked.
"Without question," said Stephen Roberts, the principal of Academy of our Lady.

For any building project it is important for the client to get a true visual representation of what their desired structure will look like once constructed.
Fortunately, the guess-work associated with traditional blue-prints and sketches are now a thing of the past, as modern computer aided drawing techniques help us to produce realistic and authentic 3D projections of how a building will look when completed.
The primary benefit of Photorealistic Rendering is that it allows clients to see a vivid projection of how the finished building will look once completed. This means that each project can begin with agreed expectations, peace of mind, and a greatly increased chance of customer satisfaction.
Using a Photorealistic Rendering Service helps to manage amendments to construction plans when changes such as design, budget or timescale occur. This makes it far easier to agree on adjustments made to the original plans and provides added confidence that the proposed changes are appropriate for the project.
The majority of building projects are subject to ‘red tape’ such as planning permission, often causing unwelcome delays in construction. Photorealistic Rendering can play a significant role in reducing such delays, offering local councils and preservation bodies a comprehensive representation of how a building will appear and how it will affect the surrounding areas.
Because Photorealistic Rendering allows a client to see a 3D perception of how a building will look, they have a unique chance to suggest and visualise changes before work begins. This can reduce expenditure considerably by avoiding amendments occurring during the project that lead to increased labour costs, downtime and wasted materials.
Outsource CAD is a team of experienced CAD technicians who offer accurate and efficient Photorealistic Rendering services. To discover more about our range of services and how your project can benefit, please contact our friendly team today.

In time and with usage batteries lose their capacity. There is nothing that you can do about it, you can only prolong the inevitable. The only difference that you can make is how long before you need to replace your battery. Each manufacturer rates each battery model with a different number of charge cycles. A battery’s charge cycle is when you charge your device’s battery to 100% and then discharge it until it turns off. This doesn’t mean that once you past the, let’s say 500 charge cycles mark, you battery will instantly die. It will just start degrading and lose its capacity. This may happen even sooner if you do not take care of your battery. A good way to extend the life of your battery is not to charge it to 100% and discharge it until the device powers off. Some people call this partial charging.
In the area of batteries people often mention the word “calibrate”. A battery calibration is something like “resetting” the battery’s memory, so it starts fresh and that way Windows will give you a more accurate estimate as to how long will have power. Even the manufacturers recommend to do a calibration every 2 or 3 months. In some situations users have reported Windows showing a broken battery after a few months of usage. A calibration may be able to fix this, unless it’s a hardware issue.
The procedure for calibrating the battery is simple. Charge your battery to 100%, leave it on the charger for at least another hour so that it cools down and then use your device until it powers off. Even though it sounds simple enough there are a few steps that you need to do before you can start with the calibration process. This procedure can be carried out on any device running a battery: any laptop with any operating system, tablet, mobile phone etc.
The are two types of calibration, automatic one and a manual one. The automatic calibration is done either through the BIOS or some kind of a software that the manufacturer provides. You can google this to find out if you can calibrate the battery automatically.
The manual calibration is the one where there are a few extra steps, depending on which way you intend on calibrating the battery.
5.On the left click on “Change when the computer sleeps”. Note: If you intend to leave the computer idle overnight, make sure that you set the “Turn off the display” and “Put the computer to sleep” to “Never”. If you plan on using your device during the calibration process you can set your settings as they are.
9.Under “Critical battery action” set the “On battery” value to be “Hibernate”. Note: it is recommended to set this value to Hibernate in case you are working and if your device shuts down’ in the middle of your work it will go into hibernate and you will not lose any of your progress.
Once you complete the above steps you can start the calibration process. In order to do that you will need to charge your device to 100% and leave it plugged in for a few more hours until the battery is cold. Once this is done you can unplug your device and start using it until it goes into hibernate or leave it overnight. The final step, once your device goes into hibernate is to recharge it and continue using it as you would normally do. As mentioned previously, it is recommended to do this procedure every 2 or 3 months in order to get accurate reading of your estimated times in Windows.
Q: Will this hurt my battery?
A: No, this procedure will not hurt your battery. Instead you will get only more accurate reading of the battery’s health and estimated remaining time.
Q: Is it better to leave the laptop idle or use it?
A: Both should be the same, the laptop that we are using has a big battery and holds a charge for 9 to 10 hours, so we never really calibrated the battery while using the laptop.
Q: I have disabled hibernate on my laptop, can I calibrate the battery?

Literature and television tend to give us a bit of a skewed idea of how things work out in the real world, but few of those ideas are quite as inaccurate as the idea of the engagement ring. You see, in a perfect world, the perfect man meets the perfect woman and somewhere along the line he manages to toddle off and buy the perfect engagement ring which he presents to the perfect woman in a perfect way. This may very well happen to you, but it’s not very likely. Very few men (people!) are 100% secure in their ability to choose something to the exact taste of their partner, and when it comes to the engagement ring, the risk of making a very costly mistake is high. The thing is, you don’t really want your engagement story to include the fact that your fiancé hated the ring you chose so you had to go and exchange it for something else. It’s just not romantic!
It’s ok to shop for rings together. If buying a ring terrifies you to your core, it really is fine to just ask your future Mrs what she would like. Visit a couple of jewellery stores or scan through a few pics online and then once you have decided on what you want then you can go and buy it or arrange to have it made. Simple. Easy. Unscary.
Pay Attention to Your Woman. Girls hint. A lot. Sometimes not on purpose, but it happens. If you want the proposal to be an absolute 100% surprise but you’re not sure what to buy, try walking past jewellery stores when you go to the mall. What happens? Lovely lady pops her face in the window and says “Wow, isn’t that pretty?!” Allow this to happen a couple of times and you will start getting a proper feel for what she likes.
Moms, sisters & friends. Consider chatting to one or two significant females in your future fiancé’s life. If you’re feeling a little weary and in need of a second opinion, then one of them should be able to help you make the right choice. Also you will most likely score big points for coming to them for help!
At the end of the day you really just need to choose what works for the two of you and go for it!
My fiancé kept it a bit of a secret, this is how he did it: He sent me some picture of rings and said it was for his friend who was getting engaged and they needed a ladies opinion… I knew something was fishy but I played along and told him which one I liked the most. A few months later he proposed. I was surprised because I had forgotten about the pictures. It was the ring I had chosen. Sneaky Sneaky..
Shame… so much pressure on the guys!!! But you would feel equally as bad saying, sorry babe I really dont like this ring… please can we change it… best its done right from the beginning!
I’d like to have my engagement ring match my wedding ring so that it suits perfectly. This will of course need to be chosen by myself and not my partner hee Asking a man to chose one ring is a challenge enough, two and he may feel pretty lost.

The 12-month forecast indicates widespread water deficits in many parts of the US stretching from Oregon to Maryland. Deficits are expected to reach exceptional severity – a return frequency of 40 years or more – in southern California, western Nevada, northeastern Utah, southwestern Colorado, and southwestern Arizona. Primarily moderate deficits are expected in the Southern Plains States, Mississippi Valley, and Gulf Coast, with more severe conditions in the Texas Panhandle. Moderate to extreme deficits are forecast for the South Atlantic States from Maryland to Georgia. Southern Michigan and the Ohio River Valley will see moderate surplus conditions, though some areas will experience both deficit and surplus (pink/purple) as transitions occur. Moderate surplus is also forecast for the Missouri River into southwestern Montana. Both deficit and surplus conditions are forecast for northwestern Montana, northern Idaho, and eastern Washington.
Outside the contiguous US, surpluses are forecast for northwestern Alaska and the northern half of the Alaskan Peninsula, trailing into the interior; deficits are forecast for the eastern half of the state. Intense surpluses are forecast for Hawaii, and moderate deficits are expected in western Puerto Rico.
The near-term forecast – March through May – clearly indicates a transition out of deficit in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, with moderate surplus emerging in Arkansas into surrounding states. In the West overall, the extent of exceptional deficit conditions will shrink, but severe to extreme deficits will continue to emerge in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Primarily moderate deficits are expected in Oregon, and in Kansas, western Oklahoma, and most of Texas west of the Brazos River, though conditions in the Panhandle may be severe. Deficits in the Mid-Atlantic States will shrink, but moderate to extreme deficits will continue to emerge in South Carolina, Georgia, and into northern Florida.
Moderate to severe surpluses will continue to emerge in southern Michigan and the Ohio River Valley, and pockets of the Northeast. Exceptional surplus conditions are expected to emerge on the Missouri River into western Montana and in northern Idaho. Surpluses of varying severity are forecast for Washington State, including along the Columbia River.
From June through August deficits will persist in the West, and downgrade in the Southwest and Southern Plains States. The extent of exceptional deficit in California will increase as isolated pockets emerge throughout the state to join persistent severe and extreme deficits. Deficits will intensify in northwestern Nevada, diminish in Utah, and emerge in more areas of western Colorado. Extreme deficits are expected along the Arkansas River in Colorado and Kansas. Moderate deficits will spread throughout Illinois and emerge nearby in Indiana and eastern Missouri. Surpluses will diminish considerably in the Ohio River Valley, as will surpluses along the Missouri River, western Montana, and the Northwest. Deficits in the Carolinas, Georgia, and northern Florida will downgrade slightly; moderate deficits will re-emerge in Virginia and emerge in pockets of the Northeast.
The forecast for the final months – September through November – indicates moderate deficits throughout much of the country with more severe deficits along some rivers in the western half of the country.
A series of storm systems in late February and early March ravaged the Midwest, south-central states, and New England.
Flooding in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan, as detailed in February "Impacts," damaged over 2,000 homes, prompting state-level disaster declarations for 18 counties in Indiana and 17 in Michigan.
Rainfall and melting snow in the Upper Mississippi Valley prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to relieve pressure on downriver levees in New Orleans by opening the Bonnet Carré Spillway in Louisiana, diverting water into the Gulf of Mexico via Lake Pontchartrain. The river has already overflowed its banks in northern Louisiana.
Winter Storm Skylar, the third nor’easter to hit the U.S. in two weeks, grounded 1500 flights across the eastern seaboard this month. An earlier storm also stopped flights, flooded Boston, and left 1.7 million homes and businesses without power.
Though rain and snow plague many parts of the nation, the country's winter wheat-growing region is suffering extremely dry conditions. Over 50 percent of Kansas winter wheat was rated “very poor to poor” by the USDA this month as drought conditions persist.
According to research recently published in the journal Nature, spring snowpack in the western US has dropped by up to 30 percent in the last 100 years, an amount equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Mead. Warmer temperatures prevent snowpack accumulation which can lead to drought, as it did in the US West after 2015's record low April 1 snow water equivalent (SWE), the amount of water in the snowpack. In another study, a NASA scientist says particulate matter - dust - is also affecting western snowpack by reducing albedo, or reflectivity.
The DHS and the FBI jointly issued an alert stating that, since March 2016, Russian government cyber actors have targeted critical US infrastructure sectors, including energy, nuclear, commercial, water, aviation, and manufacturing, using scripts to create local administrator accounts disguised as legitimate backup accounts.

More from Hedge House, a paranormal/urban fantasy that I hope to have out later this year.
Jacob and Cara are discussing Belle’s will. (Belle was Cara’s grandmother.) Cara has been comparing the one she got from the attorney handling the estate with one kept in a safe at the house.
She nodded, slightly relieved, but the coincidence of her grandmother’s death and the attorney’s attack by yellow jackets was just too much to ignore, although she couldn’t quite figure out how they were related or how Jonas was involved.
When Cara Hawthorne returns to the childhood home she had been torn away from twenty years earlier, she thinks it will be to do nothing more than settle her grandmother’s estate and return to her job as a junior lawyer at a prestigious law firm in Tulsa.
at the Sunday Snippet group.
“I don’t think he even knew I had the original.” She sat down and rubbed her forehead. “Even if they thought there was a copy here they wouldn’t have thought I’d have had time to find it.” She sighed and stared at the papers and computer.
Jacob nodded, seemingly unperturbed by the news – and certainly not surprised. “I kinda suspected that Henry Rupert was in Jonas’ pocket,” he said.
*I still haven’t named her.
Tommy looked at him and Alex winced at the fevered flush in his pale cheeks.
“He sent us here to die?” Alex asked incredulously.
Tommy nodded and focused on removing the rest of his clothes. “I don’t have any other theory, but if you do I’d love to hear it.” He stood up and made his way into the shower room and Alex joined him a moment later.
Cara has just finished a meeting with Harry Rupert, the attorney handling her grandmother’s estate and is discussing things with Jacob. This follows directly from last week’s snippet.
“Safe from what?” Tamira’s words about Jonas came racing back through her mind.
“What do you think, Tommy?” Alex asked after she had left them.
Tommy didn’t answer for a moment, focusing on breathing without coughing as he took off his sweatshirt.
Alex nodded and sat down to take his sneakers off.
Cara fell silent, thinking about his answer. The day her letter came, her grandmother had been overjoyed, telling everyone that she wanted to come for a visit. Belle had died that night, and the next day, the one person who knew what was in Belle’s will had nearly died. Something cold ran up her spine and filled her blood vessels with ice.
She couldn’t answer around the dead feeling in her throat.
They followed her down a set of stairs into a finished basement.
“Showers,” she said, pointing. “You’ll find everything you need in the locker room. And in here,” she opened a door, “are clothes. Help yourselves. Just throw your wet things in the hamper — I’ll do laundry later or in the morning. Come upstairs when you’re done.” She turned to them and smiled. “You are safe here,” she assured them.

China: Last week, China’s stock market sold off significantly, only to later recover at the end of the week. Roughly 1/3 of the companies listed on Chinese markets have been suspended from trading. Investors will monitor China to see if any volatility returns to their markets and if the government lifts the suspensions.

This sensor is used to detect magnetic fields. The current, and thus the voltage, running through the sensor is changed in relation to the presence of a magnetic field. This sensor is designed so it can tell you the amount the voltage has changed as an analog output, and if the voltage has changed as a digital output. Since the sensor can provide digital and analog outputs, there is a surprising amount you can do with it. You can easily make a working sensor, or make a much more complicated one. This sensor is built in such a way that the sensor itself has everything needed to operate, including an led. The as such, you can get a basic magnetic switch with nothing more than a 5v battery by connecting the magnet ports to the + and g pins. When a magnet is brought close to the sensor, the voltage will change and send a signal to the sensors integrated led, telling it to light up. This is as simple as this sensor comes.

La Petite Gourmess: So long, Bambi.
So, we arrived at the in-laws for Thanksgiving a few hours ago, and were chatting and having Attitude Adjustments, when a sweet little doe innocently grazing in the backyard met its untimely demise. Shot at, from the back porch by my usually reserved, polished, wine-making, un-Rednecklike father-in-law. First shot missed, and she ran a few yards and looked back, as if to say - "What was that bang?" Second shot also missed and she ran closer towards the woods, but looked back again, like "Seriously?" She didn't get to turn around on the third shot. At least it was a good, clean shot (a hundred yards or so away) and a quick death. I think. I didn't stay for the rest of the show.
I actually feel guilty -- I almost saved it. I had just finished calling "hello" out the window to it, when I heard my sister in law yell, "Shoot it!" -- and then some commotion in the kitchen, so I yelled "Run!" But, it either didn't hear me, or it was feeling over confident. (In retrospect, maybe I should have screamed, "Run for your life!") So, here I am, a few minutes later, crying into my Thanksgiving Eve cocktail (a mix of lemnoncello, lemonade, cranberry juice, seltzer, bitters, and a few other whimsies) and it isn't.
It's quite a thing to see a living thing lose its life. Not sure I can stomach it, but I do understand it is a part of life. I eat animals every day that have been killed less humanely than Bambi. But still--it's one thing to see it happen in real life.
Anyway, so long, sweet Bambi. I tried to warn you. Hopefully this saved you from starving and freezing to death this winter.
I guess we're having venison tomorrow: Thanksgiving a la Western New York.

On March 1st the German Consulate in Moscow adopted new rules for visa applications having introduced a new procedure for consulate fee payment. According to the new rules, you can apply for German visa only having paid a fee through a bank in advance. Besides, a fee itself has increased due to the bank commission (2 Euro).
A Representative of the German Consulate said to a BANKO correspondent that the measure was adopted in order to regulate the financial activities of the consulate but not to ‘make the work of tour operating companies more difficult’.
Nevertheless, many travel market players point out the increased workload of those who deal with the German Consulate. Boris Blinov, General Director of Altus Travel Company, commented as follows: ‘after the new rules were introduced a representative of an accredited company has only 2,5 hours to pay a fee through a bank and to deliver applications to the Embassy (from 7.30 a.m. to 10.00a.m.), that is impossible for one person. Therefore, we even had to involve the second one’.
Furthermore, some companies do not have difficulties connected with the new rules: ‘we pay the fee in advance not on the day of application’, said Elena Grigorieva, Manager responsible for the German Sector of De Visu. However, according to travel market players, payment in advance is problematic when a tour has to be prepared in a short time.
A BANKO correspondent contacted a tour operator from Kiev Mondial Ukraine and Minsk travel company Alatan-tour. The correspondent found out that the German initiative did not refer to CIS countries.

Why Use Digital Student ID Cards?
Every school admin knows how time-consuming issuing student ID cards can be. Luckily, ID123 has a cloud-based ID management system that allows school admins to customize, issue, and manage digital photo ID cards online. Also, digital student ID cards can be used to digitize bus passes, and take attendance to classes and events.
Admins can include their logo, add their school colors, and personalize the font and background colors of the mobile student ID cards.
School administrators can send cards via email, directly to the students’ email inbox, through the ID management system. Students are able to take or upload their own ID photos and the school administrator can approve or deny them based on the school’s requirements.
The ID management system allows administrators to add security questions, set expiration dates, temporarily deactivate IDs, and revoke IDs that are no longer valid. Furthermore, allowing school admins to have full control over the issued digital photo IDs.
School administrators can issue digital student ID cards as transit or bus passes for their campus shuttle. Therefore, incoming students don’t have to wait in long lines to receive their bus passes when they can access it on their mobile devices.
Each digital student ID card comes with a barcode that can be auto-generated. This allows professors to easily take attendance in class and at events by scanning the barcode and having the credentials sync to a third-party attendance tracking system.
What about teachers and parents?
In addition to student ID cards, school admins can issue mobile ID cards to teachers and parents. If preferred by the school administrator, parents can self-issue their digital ID cards by taking their own ID photos and filling out the fields on their new mobile ID cards in the app. School admins can also improve campus safety by issuing temporary digital IDs for meetings and events.
These are some of the ways you can implement digital student ID cards at your school. If you would like to learn more about how to issue and manage digital ID cards with ID123 chat with us and let us know your school needs. We look forward to hearing from you!

There appears to be an uptick in entry of foreign migrants into Europe over the past months. Although there has been a sizeable decrease of global entries since 2015, the European Coast Guard agency Frontex noticed an increase of refugee inflows on the sequential basis over the past months. Measured in terms of crossings, the agency calculates a 60% year-on-year jump in crossing events since January 2018, to settle at over 8,200. Frontex cites the Morocco-Spain route as the most used, with 36,000 illegal migrants entering Spain since January, surpassing entries in Italy and Greece.
Struggling to contain the inflow and deal with asylum seekers and refugees already in the country, Germany, a nation highly desired by migrants, has been pressuring African nations to be more proactive in helping stem illegal migration of African nationals toward Europe in general and Germany in particular. Specific to the Maghreb region, the German government drafted a bill to categorize Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco as safe countries, thereby rejecting anyone applying for refugee or asylum status. While Germany is working hard to deport Nigerians and other Sub-Sahara Africans who do not have legal status, it is hoping that the proposed law would allow a new focus on the Maghreb zone as well, not only as a source region but also as a transit point used by Sub Saharan Africans.
The law would allow the German authorities to automatically reject any asylum application, without even providing any motive as to the rejection. A previous version of the proposed law was overruled by the Bundesrat, absent of a majority in face of the opposition from the Green party and the leftists of the Die Linke.
In this latest draft, the proposed law suggests that in the three Maghreb countries, it can be demonstrated that there is no persecution as defined by the EU’s article 9 of 2011/95/EE Directive, neither torture nor degrading and inhuman treatment are applied to people. And that there is neither blind violence nor an internal or external conflicts to justify asylum status.
One of the German government’s argument in favor of the law is that the number of applications for refugee status coming from the Maghreb and accepted by the German authorities is insignificant. Virtually all applications from Algerians are rejected. Less than 3% is the acceptance rate for the Tunisians, and slightly more than 4% for the Moroccans. German media DW says this government initiative was prompted by the deportation of an alleged former bodyguard of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden to Tunisia, and to combat crime as well. “The classification of these states is long overdue,” said the deputy chairman of the conservative CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Stephan Harbarth, in a statement quoted in DW.
Harbarth added “Unfortunately it’s also true that migr ants from these countries are disproportionately involved in criminal acts.” Indeed, during the 2015 new year celebrations, cases of sexual assault were recorded in the city of Cologne, where the attackers were identified as North Africans. On December 19, 2016, a truck driven by a Tunisian national plowed into a Berlin crowd, leaving 12 people dead and 56 others injured. The perpetrator of the attack was a failed asylum seeker.
In an effort to get support for its initiative from North Africa governments, German Chancellor Angela Merkel met Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in Algier, Algeria on September 17, 2018. The meeting was to find ways to accelerate the deportation of Algerian nationals living illegally in Germany. The Germans are looking for streamlined administrative procedures, including providing passports to those who will be subject of deportations. North African authorities have been extremely slow in delivering documentation such as valid passports, according to the German authorities. In Algeria, there is a sense of willingness to collaborate with Germany to speed up the deportation of some 3,700 of its nationals from Germany. It remains unclear whether such statement of willingness would translate into actual action or will remain just words.
Germany is also looking to exchange information, by providing names and fingerprints of asylum seekers to their governments in North Africa. The purpose is to compare data and information on those investigated.
The Germans are also threatening foreign countries where refugees and illegal migrants come from. Failure to accept the deportees, will mean a reduction in development aid, according to Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere and former Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel.
The French too do not want to be sidelined by Germany’s actions on illegal immigration. French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb spoke of providing greater support to both Algeria and Morocco to control the movement of their citizens leaving the country, essentially erecting measures to prevent North Africans from going to Europe. Collomb is looking for a repeat of what Niger has been doing to prevent the movement of migrants toward Libya, through an initiative funded by France. Because of the Morocco-Spain border problem, the French have beefed up their own border with Spain with two more contingents of Gendarmes to contain the inflow of migrants coming from Africa through that route.
As for the European Union, it has started to understand that preventing a migration onslaught requires stable governments and improved economies in the original or transit countries. On September 16, the EU approved an aid package for job creation in Morocco worth $275 million, with the purpose of keeping people there in Morocco. The money was welcomed by the Moroccans, with a government spokesman noting that 65,000 illegal migration attempts were prevented thanks to EU financial support.
Handling illegal immigration in Europe is always work in progress. While some creative diplomacy, combined with a stick-and-carrot approach can help the Europeans make their case with the Maghreb countries, Europe’s biggest challenge is and will remain the state of collapse in Libya and the utter instability in Mali and in other Sahelian regions. It surely helps getting some support from Rabat, Algiers and Tunis, and by extension Cairo, but Libya is the epicenter of all the issues related to illegal migration, and so far, no one seems to have figured out a way to contain the unrest in Libya.

1.1 What is Bulletproof Coffee?
1.3.1 Why Use Butter AND MCT Oil?
Chances are pretty good that you have probably heard of Bulletproof Coffee at some point in the last few years.
It skyrocketed in popularity after Bulletproof founder, Dave Asprey, appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience and other notable media outlets a few years ago, and the craze doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
For most of us that probably led to a few questions – What is this stuff I hear about on every podcast, on Facebook, and basically in all corners of the internet? Well, that’s a great question, and we’re going to give a full Bulletproof breakdown below.
We’ll cover exactly what Bulletproof coffee is, its benefits, how much it costs, and does the recipe really involve butter?
Coffee is just one part of the Bulletproof way of life (read our full Bulletproof diet review here), but it’s probably the most well-known component, and it’s a great way to start your morning, especially if you’re intermittent fasting.
Bulletproof Coffee isn’t so much a brand of coffee, but rather, a method for preparing your coffee that usually involves three main ingredients: coffee that is made with “certified clean” beans, butter or ghee that is grass-fed and unsalted, and MCT (check out our favorite one here) or Brain Octane Oil (made from coconut oil).
This recipe was invented by Asprey after he had some tea with Yak butter during a trip to Tibet. He was blown away by how rejuvenated he felt after drinking the butter tea and decided to come up with his own recipe after conducting a ton of research.
His coffee blend has become a popular component of the Bulletproof diet, as a form of maintaining ketosis, and with the intermittent fasting community.
It may sound weird to put butter or ghee in your coffee – I know I was skeptical at first. But, it actually tastes amazing and it really does seem to provide clarity and focus.
Of course, Bulletproof does sell their own brand of “clean coffee” beans, and there are other options as well.
The clean coffee component has been called into question a bit, but you certainly can’t go wrong with purchasing coffee that has low toxin content and is sourced with the highest quality beans possible.
On top of that, the Bulletproof beans are single-sourced, taste great and make an excellent cup of joe.
When Asprey first came on the scene, these “low toxin” beans were referred to as an essential component of the Bulletproof blend.
Joe Rogan took issue with the science behind this claim on a 2014 episode of his podcast, although the actual butter, brain oil coffee blend still remains a staple of his diet.
His main question seemed to be whether or not “normal” coffee actually contained “mycotoxins” that might be harmful to your body in some way.
At the time, Asprey reported that 70% of coffee beans were infected with these so-called mycotoxins, but Rogan called this claim into question. Rogan’s own studies seem to debunk this claim, so take the whole mycotoxins thing with a grain of salt.
Even with the bean controversy, the three core ingredients remain intact, and the coffee blend is as popular as ever.
For me, it has been easiest to go with Bulletproof’s Brain Octane Oil and single-source coffee beans, and then I buy organic, grass-fed butter from the grocery store. You can also go with organic coffee from your store, or local coffee shop as well. Bulletproof also sells Ghee, you can find it locally, or I have ordered from Amazon as well.
This recipe is really pretty simple, and after one time making it you should have it mastered.
Make one cup of coffee. It’s recommended to use filtered water if you can, that just reached its boiling point. Add the water to the 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons of fresh grounds. For me, the French Press has worked best for this process.
Stir in 1 or 2 tablespoons of the brain oil to the coffee (make sure it’s still hot).
Stir in 1 or 2 tablespoons of the grass-fed butter (remember to use unsalted) or ghee.
Mix it all together. Use a blender for best results – simply blend it up for half a minute or so. It should look foamy, sort of like a latte when it’s ready to drink.
Why Use Butter AND MCT Oil?
According to Bulletproof, using unsalted butter from grass-fed cows provides your body a nutrient-rich source of high-quality fats. Cows that are free range and fed a natural grass diet tend to be healthier than factory-raised heifers that are raised on mostly grains.
This improved health is also evident in the meat and butter that they produce, which is why Bulletproof recommends it.
MCT oil helps recharge your body, and gives you the energy, stamina, and focus that you need to make the most out of your day. Bulletproof’s Brain Octane Oil is a version of MCT in its purest form, and unlike other blends on the market, it doesn’t have an awful taste or smell.
I first heard about this Bulletproof blend a couple of years ago on Rogan’s podcast, as well as the controversy surrounding it in later episodes, and never really thought much about trying it until I started intermittent fasting about 6 months ago.
With intermittent fasting, I don’t eat anything until about 2:00 most days, and I needed something in the mornings to give me an edge, and that gave me the energy and focus needed to make the most out of my day.
After reading a bunch of reviews and posts from other intermittent fasters, I decided that Bulletproof coffee was my morning solution.
I typically have one cup a day, just in the mornings, and I have found that it provides me with a high level of focus and energy.
I rarely drink more than one cup of the Bulletproof blend, because of the calorie content, and then I switch to black coffee and water for the rest of the day.
Either way, I have found this coffee recipe to be tasty, critical to helping me reach my highest level of performance during my workdays. I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain an edge, who is intermittent fasting or on the keto diet, or if you just want to try something new with your morning cup of coffee!
After a week on the diet, I had lost two pounds. Then I went off it for a week, and am now back on it. I am over 65 and hope to lose 40 pounds over a year, but I don’t think this diet is going to do it for me. I works fine all day. The problems come at night: I have trouble sleeping, have hunger and cravings.
During the day I am busy and have more energy on the diet than I thought I would have. I don’t have a job, so I think that is part of the reason dieting is more difficult.
I would love to hear from others who are older and not working who have tried this diet.

Over the past two months there has been an increase in thefts from across the Appleby, Strathern, Glengarry and Heidelberg areas of Invercargill.
We have seen a large increase in the number thefts where the offenders have smashed the rear quarter lights to obtain cash or other high-value items.
Vehicles are either parked on the street or up driveways and some have been hit twice in as many weeks.
Police patrols are actively watching for any criminal activity around vehicles and we monitor crime hotspots and carry out mandatory checks on commonly targeted vehicles, Acting Inspector Peter Graham, Prevention Manager, Invercargill Police said.
It is upsetting and inconvenient for members of our community to be victims of this type of crime.
Police also recommend, where possible, people park cars on their property rather than on the street, or consider parking in well-lit and busy locations.
Often when vehicles have property stolen from them, they are unlocked so please keep your car locked and any property out of sight.
We are proactively targeting offenders who commit these types of crimes and we will hold them accountable for their actions.
Alarms will help discourage any burglar looking for easy entry.
CCTV, alarms and sensor lights are all good idea.
Scott Anderson from Top Gear Audio & Installation says it’s important to install high-resolution cameras like the motion-sensitive 5MP Hikvision camera, managed remotely via an app on your phone. That way you can be assured of clear photos, no mistaken identity and you have clear evidence.
The harder we make it for them the less likely they are to target your street.
Police urge members of the community to report any suspicious activity they see around vehicles to give Police the best chance of catching offenders.
We can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 and directly by phoning the Invercargill police station on (03) 217 1326.

Hey everyone! I apologize but this post will be short and sweet. Unfortunately, while on our trip to Washington to visit my father, the whole entire family caught a really bad flu bug. Honestly, I almost skipped posting at all, but thought I could at least share a couple of pictures from our trip.
For our first excursion we headed to the Cascades to play in the snow. And what lovely backdrop the snow dusted trees and mountains made for family pictures, so of course we took a few.
A couple days later we headed to Pike’s Place and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We even passed by the very first and original Starbucks. On the way over we saw the beautiful Lake Washington and a few surroundings dormate volcanoes.
Not long after that we all fell ill and therefore I have very few other photos to share. I plan to be back next week as regularly scheduled. I hope that you all have enjoyed your holidays and time spent with family and friends. Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you next post!

Hey Peaches! I have another great sneak peek for you today! My card today features the brand new Myths & Magic Bundle that will be available on January 3rd. You’re going to fall in love with this super cute set! There are dragons and unicorns, mermaids and wizards, and even a knight. I just adore all the adorable coordinating product that goes with it too. I’ll be featuring some of it soon in a blog hop, but for now, I have a really colorful unicorn card. I mean what is a unicorn card with out rainbows, right?!
To start my card, I began with a watercolor wash background. I started with some Melon Mambo ink and used my Aqua Painter to add the color to my Watercolor Paper. Then I added some Daffodil Delight, making sure to blend the two colors in the middle. I did the same when I added Bermuda Bay, until I had a soft rainbow background.
Next I stamped the unicorn and colored just her mane and tail using my Stampin’ Blends. I cut her out using the Magical Mates Framelits Dies and a few sparkles and adhered them to my rainbow panel. I added my sentiment and of course, what’s a unicorn without a little (or a lot of) glitter?! I used my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the body of my unicorn and that finished up my car for today.
Hey Peaches! I’m popping in a bit quickly this week as I’m preparing for the holidays. We’ll likely be gone through Christmas so after my Wednesday post I plan to take a break to celebrate with my family. I may, however, share a few projects on my other social media locations so definitely check my out on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.
Anyway, here’s today’s cards! I’m using the brand new bundle by Stampin’ Up! called Sunshine & Rainbows. This bundle will be available in the new Occasions Catalog in January and you’ll definitely want to get your hands on it; it’s a really fun one!
For my first card, I took each of the different bands of rainbow stamps and flipped them backwards so that I could get a more solid image from the back side of the stamp. That’s the cool thing about photopolymer stamps-you can use the backside to get a more solid image or “shadow” image. I did this in 6 different inks from Stampin’ Up!’s subtle collection onto Watercolor Paper and then used my Aqua Painter to soften and blend the colors. Then I cut it out and layered the rest of my card.
For my second card, I just simply used the arch shaped dies designed to make rainbows to cut out 3 different colored “bands”. I did this 3 times for each color and layered them on top of each other to create more dimension. If you take a close look at where I stamped my raindrops in the background of my CASEd, I also added the brand new Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes for my raindrops. I just love these and you’ll be able to get your hands on them in January as well.
Well that’s my cards for today! I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek and I’ll see you next post! Thanks for stopping by!

How to fix Ultimatum update since it breaks sites in the network?
I tried to update the Ultimatum Theme from version 2.3.7 to 2.5, however when doing so, it broke ALL of my sites (on the Multisite) running this theme. I requested support from them but all they told me is to "try regenerating the CSS". However I don't know how to do this or if this is in fact the solution to the problem.
For now I've restored the sites to a previous version before the upgrade but I would like to upgrade to use the new features.
> Please help provide a solution for this problem. I was even thinking if there was a way to prevent the current sites from updating the theme but for the rest of the network to update.
I've never personally used the theme and this does sound like it's a issue with the latest version.
What happens if you install it on a fresh install site? Are there any errors in your cPanel > logs > error_log?
Hi jack, when installed on a fresh site, there are no errors, the problem is that the old sites apparently are not compatible with some parts of the updated version. I mainly care about using the updated version for new sites, I don't need to update the current sites using Ultimatum, however as you know when you update the Network, ALL sites using the theme gets changed.
b. A simple way to fix the compatibility issues with the sites that used the old theme version.
When you update the theme, can you then go to Network dashboard > Updates > update network.
Hopefully that should fix it for you.
Thanks Vaughan, but this is not what I meant. I updated the thread with more details.
Hi roberto, the only way really to prevent changes on the subsites is to create a child theme & activate the child theme on the subsites.
Any changes you make to the parent theme are definitely going to change any blogs using that theme.
The update network, I believe is what would update the changes across the network, such as new theme options & CSS etc.
how are the subsites not compatible? can you describe why they aren't working properly after updating?
The child themes seem a viable solution.
The problem happens when our website customization gets changed, missing headers, images, elements, etc.
Did you get the update to work?

It is sometimes difficult to explain to other people how I do a medical intuitive reading.
One of the simplest things I do is simply to watch the energy of any situation.
This morning, I was speaking briefly with a gentleman in another country who has been concerned about his liver to the point where he has prescribed himself several rather harsh liver cleanses.
We are scheduled to have a full session on Thursday morning, but we were chatting briefly to arrange the schedule.
I tuned in to his liver and saw the energy circulating with no release.
Just like you might stir a pot of soup, the energy looked as thought it was literally circling and circling, which to me meant that he was simply aggravating his liver without actually releasing the core issues.
Too many people only look on the surface of things. If you only look on the surface, a person can appear totally pulled together while falling apart on the inside, or, conversely they could appear to be in the midst of a total breakdown while actually being on the verge of a personal breakthrough.
How do you watch energy?
1. If you are trying to read the energy between two people, see if you can tune in to watch which direction the energy is flowing. For example, one person might be giving energy and another receiving. They might be pushing towards each other or pulling away from each other. See if you can figure out the direction the energy is flowing in a relationship and that alone will tell you a lot about what is going on. I read the energy between the chakras for more detailed understanding of what the relationship is about.
2. If you are looking at an individual, watch which way the energy is flowing on the vertical plane. Is it pulling up towards the crown and out of the body or flowing down in a grounded way? Many people in our society are pulled up into their heads or barely grounded into their bodies at all. Where does the energy flow in a body and where does the energy stagnate?
3. If you are looking at an organ, sense the pulse of energy. Because organs are alive, they pulse. Healers such as craniosacral therapists are trained to feel the pulse in the brain. Reiki masters such as myself can feel the pulse in any organ. If an organ feels highly congested, the energy isn’t flowing properly and the organ will not be healthy.
4. If you are reading the energy of a business, watch the direction the energy is flowing. Is it expanding outwards or contracting inwards? Does it feel balanced or chaotic? Where does the energy feel stuck? Do the different departments within the business flow with each other or push against each other?
5. My favorite way to read a human is to read the five levels – physical, energetic, emotional, mental and physical. I simply go through the five levels and determine the level of disturbance a client is asking me to heal. I did this yesterday with a client who wants to become pregnant. We have worked on lifestyle, eating and exercise, so by this point, her physical body feels balanced but there were multiple disturbances on the mental body, which indicated that her thoughts and beliefs were actually working against her. How does the physical body feel? What is going on with the energy of this person? How balanced are the emotions? How calm is the mind? How at peace is the soul? We all think that the physical body is the most important part of any human, but this is incorrect. Your soul controls your mind. Your mind controls your emotions. Your emotions control your energy. Your energy body controls your physical body.
What is healing? Healing happens when we learn how to be in tune within ourselves and with the world around us. As we tune in to the energy of all things, we can live and breathe in harmony with one another.

Wroclaw Centre of Supporting Non-Governmental Organizations Sektor 3 is the initiative of the foundation “Umbrella” financed by the EU under European Social Fund, and from the budget of the Commune of Wroclaw.
Having in mind that the citizens’ actions are the basis of Democracy, we support funding and development of non-governmental organizations and social initiatives in Wroclaw. That is why we engage in training, advisory and informative activities, and we also offer access to our premises and facilities.
Our aim is to teach our co-operating organizations to act independently and efficiently, and to make them achieve their goals and develop dynamically.
Comprehensive training on funding and functioning of non-governmental organizations. We teach, e.g. how to start a foundation or an association, how to gain funds for its activity, how to manage human resources or build a team (…).
Consulting in law, bookkeeping, operating, funds raising, organization management – all that is connected with issues of foundations and associations.
Animation of local communities. We offer a comprehensive support to animate local communities! We organize animation meetings under Citizen Business Incubator program. We advise how to solve local problems, create efficient the rank- and- file initiatives or intersectoral partnerships.
Free access to conference and training rooms for non-governmental organizations. We also give access to work offices with computers available. We can grant the address of the head office and correspondence address, phone number and a place on the server.
NGO’s database – always up-to-date!. The latest information on associations and foundations from Wroclaw and local area.
All NGO’s, people wanting to start an organization and informal groups can benefit from the services of Sektor 3.
A few years ago in Wroclaw, local authorities and social organizations became ready to start cooperation to build a civil society, together as partners and with swing. A manifestation of this cooperation was, among other things, creating of Wroclaw Council of Public Benefit Activities and the post of Non-Governmental Organizations Counsellor by the President of Wroclaw, and also creating NGO’s Cooperation Office within the structure of City Hall.
Thanks to that, and also thanks to the creativity and involvement of people from those circles and institutions, we have made our many years’ dream come true – we have created a place, which we then provisionally called “NGO’s Incubator”.
The Commune of Wroclaw assigned a part of old repair hall building on the premises of the depot at Legnicka street, and a sum of over 3 million PLN for its renovation, adaptation and equipment. Thanks to that, an object of surface of 670 m2, was created, as no other in the country.
The preliminary phase of starting this endeavor was made by the team of people assigned by the City Hall. This way, on April 10, 2007 Wroclaw Centre of Supporting Non-Governmental Organizations Sektor 3 was solemnly opened.
A second, very brave and innovative step of the local authorities was the decision to entrust running of Sektor 3 to a non-governmental organization chosen by way of public tender, and assigning for its functioning a sum of 600 000 PLN.
Following the tender, since September 2007 Foundation of Supporting Non-Governmental Organizations “Umbrella”, founded by the leaders of Wroclaw organizations: Tratwa Association, Hobbit Foundation and St. Albert Association, has been running this project.
Since then, Centre Sektor 3 has been a part of social activity of citizens of Wroclaw supporting initiatives and activities of associations, foundations and informal groups.
After four years of its activity, one can say that this place is lively, useful and needed, reach not only by its supporting activities, but also by the diverse activities of other Wroclaw NGOs.
It must be also said that every month there are guests from official delegations and study visits from the country and abroad, mostly from the countries of former USSR, but also from Germany, France, Spain and Italy.
For some time Sektor 3 has also been a place where we socially activate senior citizens, who, we believe, are the source of considerable and unfulfilled potential.

Over at Slate’s BizBox blog, a special promotion by Open from American Express, I posted an article that discusses the financial advantages of a “Solo-K” for someone who is self-employed.
In fact, “Solo-K” is not specifically mentioned in the Internal Revenue Code. It’s a name given by some unknown, creative marketing person to describe a profit sharing plan with a 401(k) provision for the self-employed business person. Check out The Wonderful Solo-K.

For most people, traveling to various places around the world is one of the best recreations, but that is when you have a safe and stress-free trip. From international to domestic to family or corporate trips, traveling is enjoyable and relaxing only when you have a hassle-free trip. Naturally traveling comes with its fun but this also comes with its risks. These risks can be severe and can arise without any prior notice. Imagine you are traveling to a different city and you are urgently in need of medical attention? Or suppose you happen to lose your bag during a journey.

In such a situation, your domestic travel agency will reimburse the cost of the trip which is non-refundable.
Family Emergency/Travelling Companion: Travel Insurance covers your unexpected travel expenses if a family member you are traveling with dies or is hospitalized. Similarly, your traveling companion may not be able to continue the journey with you due to unforeseen circumstances; travel expenses will be reimbursed by the travel insurance.
Accidental Medical Expenses: Sometimes, getting to a new place can cause some illnesses to the body, be it mild illness or injury, travel insurance plan can help you in meeting the expenses incurred in getting medical attention.

Therefore, check if they provide emergency assistance all round the clock and confirm the services using the emergency assistance services or toll-free help lines before you sign up for it.

Blocked drains can cause a great deal of inconvenience. This statement is particularly true for a city like London which has a lot of people living in flats. Blocked drains in such a building can cause inconvenience to a lot of families. In this situation, it is extremely important to make sure that you always have access to a professional drain cleaning service provider in London.

A lot of people prefer to choose a drain cleaning company on the basis of information sought from their neighbours or colleagues. Even though this might turn out to be a nice idea, choosing without proper knowledge can sometimes come back to haunt you because the drain cleaning company your friends are aware of might not be able to fix your drain in the best possible manner.
Professional drain cleaning in London is easily available. These companies also provide professional drain maintenance services. Hiring their maintenance services will ensure that your drains are cleaned at regular intervals.

Contrasting clinical outcomes in two cohorts of cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).

Despite over 25 years of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) research, relatively little is known about the longitudinal course of FIV infection following natural infection. In contrast to published reports of experimental infections using lethal strains of the virus, clinical signs of naturally acquired FIV infection can be mild or inapparent, rather than life-threatening. In this prospective, longitudinal controlled study, based in Chicago, IL (n=17) and Memphis, TN (n=27), we investigated two cohorts of privately owned, naturally infected cats kept under different housing conditions. Cats in the Chicago cohort (Group 1) were kept in households of ≤2 cats, while the Memphis cohort (Group 2) comprised part of a large multi-cat household of over 60 cats kept indoors only, with unrestricted access to one another. The majority of cats from Group 1 did not display clinical signs consistent with immunodeficiency during the 22-month observation period. In contrast, the outcome of infection in Group 2 was dramatically different; 17/27 (63%) of cats lost a median of 51.3% of their bodyweight (P<0.0005) and died during the study period, with lymphoma being the most common cause of mortality. Although the decrease in CD4+ T cell count between enrolment and terminal disease was significant (P=0.0017), the CD4:CD8 ratio at the time of enrolment did not reliably distinguish FIV-positive cats classified as 'healthy' and 'not healthy' at either cohort. FIV load at enrolment was significantly lower in Group 1 than in Group 2 (P<0.0001), but there were no significant differences at enrolment between healthy and not healthy cats at either group. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that management and housing conditions impact on disease progression and survival times of FIV-positive cats.
Vet Microbiol. 2015 Mar 23;176(1-2):50-60.
FIV load at the time of enrolment (genomes/mL blood). Statistical comparisons were made between pairs of classifications across the graph. G1, Group 1 (n = 15); G2, Group 2 (n = 26); H, healthy on the day of enrolment (no abnormalities detected on a physical examination; Group 1, n = 8, Group 2, n = 11); NH, not healthy on the day of enrolment (at least one abnormality detected on a physical examination; Group 1, n = 7, Group 2, n = 15); A, alive at the end of the 22-month study period (Group 2, n = 9); D, cats dead at the end of the 22-month study period (Group 2, n = 17). ***P < 0.0001.
Correlation between FIV load (FIV genomes/mL blood) and CD4:CD8 ratio for FIV-positive cats from Group 1 (n = 15; r = −0.5022, P = 0.0564) and Group 2 (n = 26; r = −0.5479, P = 0.0038).

With all the sector heads of Tsirang dzongkhag administration carrying Clean Bhutan’s biodegradable jute bags to the Sunday vegetable market, the dzongkhag administration has initiated to ban plastic and minimise its usage.
Few students of Damphu Central School also joined the sector heads and went around explaining the damage plastics cause to the environment.
The vendors were told not to provide plastics as carrying bags henceforth to the customers. They were encouraged to reuse plastics if at all they needed to.
Vendors agreed that plastic was a burden. They said that while they were not keen to use plastics because it cost them extra, it was customers who demand plastics.
They said that without providing plastics, customers would not buy their product.
The dzongkhag administration has agreed to set up a stall where vendors and customers can buy biodegradable bags and jute bags.
Dzongkhag environment officer, Dorji Wangdi, the programme was conducted at the vegetable market to reach the maximum number of people.
While most were positive of the initiative, some raised concerns on how sustainable the initiative would be.
They said that it is not the first time the dzongkhag or the country took steps to ban plastics but only to increase its use.

To make this wonderful scrub you will need…..
First I had to whip the coconut oil with the EO’s into a good fluffy texture, this did take me a couple minutes to do but not too bad. Then I just added the brown sugar and mixed in well. I do have to admit that me and Renee tested this one IMMEDIATELY and holy cow were we impressed. We only tested on our hands at the time. Like I said earlier, I was a little worried about a sticky feel but that did not happen at all, not even close. BUT I do have to say that it have a little greasy feeling once I rinsed my hands, which is of no shock since it is made with coconut oil. It did go away after a few minutes of me rubbing my hands together, couldn’t get over the feeling of how soft they were (did I mention how impressed I was).
Then came time for the ultimate test….I applied this during my shower (after washing as the recipe said to do) and did scrub it all over, almost, some places are more gentle than others so I am sure I don’t have to explain this one. Again wow…I didn’t need to apply any lotion after that one!! This will be wonderful for me during the winter months, since I will dry out so easy. Lemon & Lavendar Brown Sugar Body Scrub will definitely be part of my shower routine from now on!!! Another thing I forgot to mention…you won’t come out smelling like some crazy tropical drink. Jeff doesn’t like the smell of coconut and when he didn’t even notice, I’d say that was another win in my book!! Also, think this would make a great Christmas gift!!!

I was invited to a stand-up comedy stint during my recent trip to Malaysia.
Timeout KL is a leading social magazine in Malaysia and every first Thursday of the month, they organise an event called Comedy Thursday at a very popular nightclub in Kuala Lumpur called Zouk.
It happened that Zak (from LiteFM) moonlights as a comedian. He thought I was pretty funny on his show and so invited me to this event, not to watch in the audience but to perform on stage as a stand-up comedian.
Well, I’d really like to do a stand-up but me? Stand up? ……… HA!
Honestly I had never done this before. I mean hey, I’m an inspirational speaker. What do I know about being a comedian?
Apparently I was pretty good at it. Either that or everybody in the room was being extremely polite!
I’d love to tell you some of the jokes that were told on stage but most of them were rated R and one guy told jokes so politically incorrect, just downright tasteless that I wouldn’t even repeat them.
In comparison, my comedy was probably the cleanest of the night. And you’d think we Kiwis have got to beat them Asians in that department, right? Wrong!!
I told a joke related to my martial arts days. I told them I hold a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. They laughed, thought it was a joke. Well, I suppose that served my purpose for the night. Ah, people’s perceptions!!! What? Just because I have no legs, I can’t kick someone in the head?
I learnt that night that I could moonlight as a “stand-up” comedian too. Or perhaps if I need a little career change from my inspirational speaker gig. You think?
I told Matt Belloti who was the organiser of Comedy Thursday, that I would love to be back at the event if ever my future trips coincided with it. So friends in Malaysia, I will keep you posted and hope you join us for a laugh.

Are you a UFO buff, paranormal fan, or someone with an interest in the strange lights seen in the skies for millennia?
Check out Contact in the Desert! Contact in the Desert (http://www.contactinthedesert.com/) is the largest UFO conference of its kind, expecting some 3,000+ attendees and a boatload of famous speakers. It’s June 1 – 3 in Indian Wells, California and Nerdbot will be attendance. With the news that the US government was keeping track of UFOs, the headlines from Tom DeLonge, and the popularity of the ancient aliens idea, this should be an interesting event for skeptics, true believers, and everyone in between!
Check out the press release below and let Nerdbot know if you want to see more UFO news in the comments!
PRESS RELEASE: Interest in Contact in the Desert, the largest UFO conference in the world, is surging due to a recent story in the New York Times detailing some of the findings of a “mysterious UFO program,” that included video of a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet encountering an unknown flying object. The video was released by the Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, an initiative funded from 2007 to 2012 by then Senate majority leader Harry Reid. The article details a 22 million-dollar program hidden deep within the Pentagon budget with the expressed intent “to investigate aerial threats,” including what the military preferred to call “unidentified aerial phenomena” or simply “objects.” The story explains that this is big news as the United States military had announced in 1969 that UFOs were not worth studying.
CONTACT in the DESERT is set to hold its 6th annual event at a new location, the Renaissance Resort and Hotel in Indian Wells, California. The conference launch to begin on June 1 – 4, will bring together an all-star team of experts to discuss the latest developments in the field, including the recently disclosed secret Pentagon UFO program. More than a conference the event is a portal through which attendees can gain knowledge and the most up-to-date info on UFOs and ancient alien studies.
Close to 100 people attending the annual CONTACT in the DESERT event in 2016 witnessed several UFOs at close range. This might have been dismissed as anecdotal except that a documentary film crew captured the incident. Reportage and video of the sighting was covered in the Daily Express, Coast to Coast AM, and other outlets. Also in 2016, in Indian Wells, the conferences’ new home, dozens of bright star-like orbs moving together rapidly across the sky, were observed on July 23. Will there be a sighting at this new location for the event’s 6th year?
CONTACT in the DESERT features the strongest speaker lineup ever assembled in the UFO field, from FBI, NASA, military, and government officials, to ancient alien researchers and scientists, as well as archeologists and cosmologists. Expected speakers include CONTACT IN the DESERT returnees Chariots of the Gods author Erich von Daniken; Ancient Aliens star Giorgio A. Tsoukalos; George Noory host of Coast to Coast AM; South African researcher Michael Tellinger; Pentagon Papers/Watergate/Silkwood lawyer Daniel Sheehan; British Government Ministry of Defense specialist Nick Pope, and best-selling author/screenwriter of the Communion series and film, Whitley Strieber.
New, highly anticipated speakers for 2018 include two-term Utah Congressman Merrill Cook, bestselling author and popular speaker Freddy Silva, and Secret Space Program veteran Corey Goode.
Presented as a serious investigation, CONTACT in the DESERT’s powerful weekend lineup of leading UFO and Ancient Aliens speakers will also feature Linda Moulton Howe, David Wilcock, Robert Schoch, Michael Salla, Jacques Vallee, Richard Dolan, Mike Bara, Nassim Haramein, Richard Cassaro, Paul Stonehill, James Gilliland, Stephen Bassett, Grant Cameron, Hugh Newman, Peter Levenda, Laura Eisenhower, Jimmy Church, Clyde Lewis, Yvonne Smith, Brian Foerster, John Desouza, Clifford Mahooty, JJ and Desiree Hurtac, Carl Lehrbuger, Jeremy Corbell, Joel “Doc” Wallach, Sasha and Janet Lessin, Steve Murillo, and many more.
In addition to the panels, lectures, meet and greets, film screenings, special events, included with a weekend pass, attendees are also able to purchase tickets for more than 30 workshops presented by top UFO experts, including David Wilcock, Erich von Däniken, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, Michael Tellinger, Michael Salla, Jacques Valle, Linda Moulton-Howe and Richard Dolan. Night vision and fieldwork experiences will be available, and on Monday June 4th, thirteen of the presenters will each offer a three-hour intensive on their area of expertise.
The Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa is the perfect setting for CONTACT in the DESERT. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Coachella Valley, the resort is a restful sanctuary for weekend getaways and family vacations and offers a variety of meal-plan options right on site. On-site accommodations are nearly sold out, but plenty of nearby hotels in Indian Wells, Palm Desert, and Palm Springs offer special rates for attendees.
Early-bird tickets for the event are $225 ($410 per couple) until March 14th. After that, advanced tickets are $250 ($450 per couple). Tickets and workshop passes are available at http://contactinthedesert.com/tickets/passes/.

January 5, 2017 – The Partnership for Better Health will be announcing a new Strategic Plan at a public event on Wednesday, January 11, at 10:00am at Dickinson College’s Holland Union Building. The community is encouraged to attend to hear about the foundation’s new grant funding opportunities and health priorities.
“Our goal with the strategic plan is to achieve greater impact on the health of our community, especially vulnerable individuals and families,” said Jeff Gayman, board chair at the Partnership. “This bold new plan was shaped directly through community input and incorporates best practices in the field of health philanthropy,” Gayman noted.
The Partnership for Better Health’s strategic planning process included community surveys and interviews, a systematic review of community needs and a series of planning meetings with board members, staff and community volunteers. The strategic plan will guide their efforts over the next three years.
“We heard directly from local nonprofits that are eager to tackle old problems in new ways by working collaboratively on more comprehensive and innovative strategies,” said Becca Raley, Executive Director at the Partnership. “Our new plan opens some exciting doors for community organizations that seek to work together on solutions to tough issues like hunger, affordable housing and income disparities that are at the roots of poor health for too many of our community members,” she added.
The new plan focuses on improving health equity through grant making, policy advocacy, community engagement and capacity building efforts with local organizations. Gayman affirmed that the foundation’s longstanding commitment to improving equitable access to essential medical, dental and behavioral health services for people who are under- and uninsured will continue.
717-960-9009 x 6 or [email protected].
Press are encouraged to join us for the Strategic Plan Announcement. The reception will be held on Wednesday, January 11th, from 10:00 to 11:30 am, in the Social Hall of Dickinson College’s Holland Union Building. Foundation board and staff members will be available for questions and interviews.

How did an exiled girl become the most powerful witch in legend?
Britain, 480 AD. Saxon barbarians are invading, pushing the civilized British out of their own island. Morgan is the daughter of the governor of Cornwall. But when her father is murdered and her mother taken as the King's new wife, she has to flee to Ireland to avoid being murdered herself.
But Ireland is no refuge. She's captured in a slave raid and sold to a village witch. As Morgan comes of age, she discovers her own immense magical powers. She falls in love with a young Irish chieftain, and makes him powerful.
But will her drive for revenge destroy her one chance for love and happiness?
The Circle Cast follows Morgan, a young girl who a governor's daughter. Morgan is not a weak girl by any means, but what she witnesses at the beginning of the story is enough to make any person falter in their life. Morgan, however, spends her anger and disappointment on vowing vengeance. Although she may be sent away, she vows that she will return even stronger soon enough to take back what was taken from her in the first place. She's my kind of girl.
I've always been a fan of anything that falls in with Arthurian lore. Morgan Le Fay is a popular character in these stories, but up until now I had never been treated to one that revolved entirely around her. I was eager to see where Epstein would take me with this story, and I wasn't disappointed. Morgan's growth into the powerful wizard of tales is nothing short of utterly intriguing.
Morgan is an excellently written character. Extremely multi-faceted, the reader is allowed to see the vengeance and anger that drive her while still being allowed to see the scared, weaker girl that is on the surface. As she grows in her powers it is easy to believe the magical elements of the story that are woven in. There are times in the book when Morgan even exceeds her own expectations, and those are a treat to watch as a reader. Epstein does a lovely job of bringing the world around Morgan to life with lavish descriptions of Britain and Ireland, as well as the people within them.
If I had to hedge a guess, I'd say that other lovers of Arthurian lore will find as much to love here as I did. My one let down was that it was so short. I could have read about Morgan and her quest for many more pages, and done so happily. Gorgeous world building and rich attention to the lore that builds this character mixes together into a really amazing read. I'd say you should give it a shot!

Thank you to Debbie Keener Joyce for this wonderful recipe!
Thank you to Debbie Keener Joyce for sharing this recipe with us!
We served this tonight as a side for our ham along with the great Sweet Potato Casserole we had left over from yesterday that also came from Debbie.
Debbie and her family call it Pineapple Fluff, but it resembles a warm, tangy sweet bread pudding and went great with our ham. It was a great change up from our regular sides and would be welcome on any holiday dinner table I'm certain!
Cream the butter and the sugar--add the eggs and beat well using mixer.
Put all into 1/2 qt. ungreased casserole dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 325 (uncovered).
Debbie says: This recipe can be doubled and put into a larger casserole dish.

Om utstillinger: Interaction - with what?
Interaction is a key-word in exhibition planning today. But what do we want the museum visitors to interact with? The museum personnel, the information communicated by the exhibition, the technology or the other visitors?
One week ago I visited the new national centre of pop and rock in Trondheim, Norway, called Rockheim. Here you can, among other activities, visit an exhibition about Norwegian pop and rock from the 50s till today. The exhibition depends heavily on technology and the visitors interact with different kinds of screens in different kinds of ways, to get to know the history of norwegian pop and rock, which is told mainly by music videos, photos and newspaper articles. The exhibition opens up a lot of interesting topics, and I will probably write more about it in oncoming posts, but now I will use my experience of the exhibition to describe the above mentioned kinds of interaction.
At Rockheim they have made a quite brave choice by not adding any explanatory text to the media installations. This can be experienced as something negative, because you feel quite stupid when you don't understand what to do. But, this has led to a lot of interaction between the museums personnel, walking around with their blue t-shirts, and the visitors, because most visitors have to be explained how the different installations work, something I find very positive. I think it really does something with the ambience in the museum. What is more scary than the silent museum guard sitting on his chair in the corner, just watching? The last year I have been working at the Karen Blixen Museum outside Copenhagen. Here the museum guards let the visitors in to Karen Blixen's private rooms every half hour, and give a short introduction to the museum before the visitors can walk around on their own. This means that I say hello to each and every guest, and, because the doors have to be locked all time, I say goodbye when unlock the door and let the visitors out. I think this contact between the museum personnel and the visitors does something for the visitors experience of the museum. Both at the Karen Blixen Museum and at Rockheim this contact happens because of an inconvenience, a locked door and unclear technology, but the result, the interaction between museum personnel and visitor, I see as an advantage.
It is fun to visit Rockheim, it is like getting a taste of how we in the future will be interacting with technology. You move in front of a screen, and the picture breaks like glass in small pieces and a music video starts. Or you point with a laser pen on a circle on a map and the picture on a TV-screen changes, when you point at another circle, another town on the map, another TV-screen reacts. Some of the installations at Rockheim gave me the feeling of only interacting with the technology, with this I mean that I only tried it to see what happened, not because I wanted to read more or wanted to see a new music video. The way the technology worked was the main entertainment. If you are interacting with the technology or the information depends of course on what your interests are, but it must be the goal of the curator to make people be interested in the information. I guess in most cases the interaction is included to make people get more information, not to make them learn about new technologies, except where the exhibition is about technology.
Museums are often thought of as public meeting places, and maybe there is a wish from the museum that the visitors interact with each other. At Rockheim there are possibilities for interaction between the visitors, but I think it works best with the ones you know. There are lots of places where there is room for more than one participant at the time, but nowhere do you need to be more than one to handle the installation. This means you only interact with other visitors if you want to, and therefore probably just with the one you are coming with. Then, it must be said that I was there on a quiet day, so this may change if there is really crowded and and you can't have an installation to your self. Also because the installations are difficult to understand you might start a conversation with some of the other visitors to find out what to do. Again, I think that people talking together in the museum is a good thing for the ambience, but it is not often you see exhibitions where interaction between the visitors is an important aspect.
This might be the most common goal when curators includes an interactive element in an exhibition. Every museum want the visitors to actively engage with the information the exhibition present. Interaction with information can happen on different levels. For example it could be that the visitors contribute to the information, by writing messages to the museum or the other visitors. Another example can be when the visitor actively think something about what is communicated and act on this by choosing one specific topic to learn more about or when the visitor has to do something to get more information, and is focused on the information and not on the technology. Even though I some times felt I just interacted with the technology at Rockheim, I mostly felt I interacted with the information. One particular successful installation is a band bus, a room decorated like the interior of a band bus, with screens in front and on the sides acting like windows where you can watch the scenery the bus is "driving" through. Here you can sit in a good chair and read an electronic magazine. By touching the pictures in the magazine a music video starts in the "window" next to your seat, and you listen to the music through a headset. Even though the technology is very good, the content is more interesting. And most important, you get the impression that the technology is chosen to suit the content, not the other way around.

Jacob & Youngs, Inc. v. Kent.
Court of Appeals of New York.Jan. 25, 1921.
Action by Jacob & Youngs, Incorporated, against George E. Kent. From an order of the Appellate Division (187 App. Div. 100,175 N. Y. Supp. 281), reversing judgment for defendant entered on verdict directed by the court and granting new trial, defendant appeals.
Order affirmed and judgment absolute directed in favor of plaintiff.
[230 N.Y. 239]Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First department.
[230 N.Y. 240]Henry W. Hardon, of New York City, for appellant.
Frederick Hulse and Cornelius J. Sullivan, Jr., both of New York City, for respondent.
The defendant learned in March, 1915, that some of the pipe, instead of being made in Reading, was the product of other factories. The plaintiff was accordingly directed by the architect to do the work anew. The plumbing was then encased within the walls except in a few places where it had to be exposed. Obedience to the order meant more than the substitution of other pipe. It meant the demolition at great expense of substantial parts of [230 N.Y. 241]the completed structure. The plaintiff left the work untouched, and asked for a certificate that the final payment was due. Refusal of the certificate was followed by this suit.
The evidence sustains a finding that the omission of the prescribed brand of pipe was neither fraudulent nor willful. It was the result of the oversight and inattention of the plaintiff's subcontractor. Reading pipe is distinguished from Cohoes pipe and other brands only by the name of the manufacturer stamped upon it at intervals of between six and seven feet. Even the defendant's architect, though he inspected the pipe upon arrival, failed to notice the discrepancy. The plaintiff tried to show that the brands installed, though made by other manufacturers, were the same in quality, in appearance, in market value, and in cost as the brand stated in the contract-that they were, indeed, the same thing, though manufactured in another place. The evidence was excluded, and a verdict directed for the defendant. The Appellate Division reversed, and granted a new trial.
We think the evidence, if admitted, would have supplied some basis for the inference that the defect was insignificant in its relation to the project. The courts never say that one who makes a contract fills the measure of his duty by less than full performance. They do say, however, that an omission, both trivial and innocent, will sometimes be atoned for by allowance of the resulting damage, and will not always be the breach of a condition to be followed by a forfeiture. Spence v. Ham, 163 N. Y. 220, 57 N. E. 412,51 L. R. A. 238; Woodward v. Fuller, 80 N. Y. 312; Glacius v. Black, 67 N. Y. 563, 566;Bowen v. Kimbell, 203 Mass. 364, 370, 89 N. E. 542,133 Am. St. Rep. 302. The distinction is akin to that between dependent and independent promises, or between promises and conditions. Anson on Contracts (Corbin's Ed.) § 367; 2 Williston on Contracts, § 842. Some promises are so plainly independent that they can never [230 N.Y. 242]by fair construction be conditions of one another. Rosenthal Paper Co. v. Nat. Folding Box & Paper Co., 226 N. Y. 313, 123 N. E. 766;Bogardus v. N. Y. Life Ins. Co., 101 N. Y. 328, 4 N. E. 522. Others are so plainly dependent that they must always be conditions. Others, though dependent and thus conditions when there is departure in point of substance, will be viewed as independent and collateral when the departure is insignificant. 2 Williston on Contracts, §§ 841, 842; Eastern Forge Co. v. Corbin, 182 Mass. 590, 592, 66 N. E. 419; Robinson v. Mollett, L. R., 7 Eng. & Ir. App. 802, 814; Miller v. Benjamin, 142 N. Y. 613, 37 N. E. 631. Considerations partly of justice and partly of presumable intention are to tell us whether this or that promise shall be placed in one class or in another. The simple and the uniform will call for different remedies from the multifarious and the intricate. The margin of departure within the range of normal expectation upon a sale of common chattels will vary from the margin to be expected upon a contract for the construction of a mansion or a ‘skyscraper.’ There will be harshness sometimes and oppression in the implication of a condition when the thing upon which labor has been expended is incapable of surrender because united to the land, and equity and reason in the implication of a like condition when the subject-matter, if defective, is in shape to be returned. From the conclusion that promises may not be treated as dependent to the extent of their uttermost minutiae without a sacrifice of justice, the progress is a short one to the conclusion that they may not be so treated without a perversion of intention. Intention not otherwise revealed may be presumed to hold in contemplation the reasonable and probable. If something else is in view, it must not be left to implication. There will be no assumption of a purpose to visit venial faults with oppressive retribution.
Those who think more of symmetry and logic in the development of legal rules than of practical adaptation to the attainment of a just result will be troubled by a classification[230 N.Y. 243]where the lines of division are so wavering and blurred. Something, doubtless, may be said on the score of consistency and certainty in favor of a stricter standard. The courts have balanced such considerations against those of equity and fairness, and found the latter to be the weightier. The decisions in this state commit us to the liberal view, which is making its way, nowadays, in jurisdictions slow to welcome it. Dakin & Co. v. Lee, 1916, 1 K. B. 566, 579. Where the line is to be drawn between the important and the trivial cannot be settled by a formula. ‘In the nature of the case precise boundaries are impossible.’ 2 Williston on Contracts, § 841. The same omission may take on one aspect or another according to its setting. Substitution of equivalents may not have the same significance in fields of art on the one side and in those of mere utility on the other. Nowhere will change be tolerated, however, if it is so dominant or pervasive as in any real or substantial measure to frustrate the purpose of the contract. Crouch v. Gutmann, 134 N. Y. 45, 51,31 N. E. 271,30 Am. St. Rep. 608. There is no general license to install whatever, in the builder's judgment, may be regarded as ‘just as good.’ Easthampton L. & C. Co., Ltd., v. Worthington, 186 N. Y. 407, 412,79 N. E. 323. The question is one of degree, to be answered, if there is doubt, by the triers of the facts (Crouch v. Gutmann; Woodward v. Fuller, supra), and, if the inferences are certain, by the judges of the law (Easthampton L. & C. Co., Ltd., v. Worthington, supra). We must weigh the purpose to be served, the desire to be gratified, the excuse for deviation from the letter, the cruelty of enforced adherence. Then only can we tell whether literal fulfillment is to be implied by law as a condition. This is not to say that the parties are not free by apt and certain words to effectuate a purpose that performance of every term shall be a condition of recovery. That question is not here. This is merely to say that the law will be slow to impute the purpose, in the silence of the parties, where the significance [230 N.Y. 244]of the default is grievously out of proportion to the oppression of the forfeiture. The willful transgressor must accept the penalty of his transgression. Schultze v. Goodstein, 180 N. Y. 248, 251,73 N. E. 21;Desmond-Dunne Co. v. Friedman-Doscher Co., 162 N. Y. 486, 490,56 N. E. 995. For him there is no occasion to mitigate the rigor of implied conditions. The transgressor whose default is unintentional and trivial may hope for mercy if he will offer atonement for his wrong. Spence v. Ham, supra.
In the circumstances of this case, we think the measure of the allowance is not the cost of replacement, which would be great, but the difference in value, which would be either nominal or nothing. Some of the exposed sections might perhaps have been replaced at moderate expense. The defendant did not limit his demand to them, but treated the plumbing as a unit to be corrected from cellar to roof. In point of fact, the plaintiff never reached the stage at which evidence of the extent of the allowance became necessary. The trial court had excluded evidence that the defect was unsubstantial, and in view of that ruling there was no occasion for the plaintiff to go farther with an offer of proof. We think, however, that the offer, if it had been made, would not of necessity have been defective because directed to difference in value. It is true that in most cases the cost of replacement is the measure. Spence v. Ham, supra. The owner is entitled to the money which will permit him to complete, unless the cost of completion is grossly and unfairly out of proportion to the good to be attained. When that is true, the measure is the difference in value. Specifications call, let us say, for a foundation built of granite quarried in Vermont. On the completion of the building, the owner learns that through the blunder of a subcontractor part of the foundation has been built of granite of the same quality quarried in New Hampshire. The measure of allowance is not the cost of reconstruction. ‘There may be [230 N.Y. 245]omissions of that which could not afterwards be supplied exactly as called for by the contract without taking down the building to its foundations, and at the same time the omission may not affect the value of the building for use or otherwise, except so slightly as to be hardly appreciable.’ Handy v. Bliss, 204 Mass. 513, 519, 90 N. E. 864,134 Am. St. Rep. 673. Cf. Foeller v. Heintz, 137 Wis. 169, 178, 118 N. W. 543,24 L. R. A. (N. S.) 321; Oberlies v. Bullinger, 132 N. Y. 598, 601,30 N. E. 999; 2 Williston on Contracts, § 805, p. 1541. The rule that gives a remedy in cases of substantial performance with compensation for defects of trivial or inappreciable importance has been developed by the courts as an instrument of justice. The measure of the allowance must be shaped to the same end.
The order should be affirmed, and judgment absolute directed in favor of the plaintiff upon the stipulation, with costs in all courts.
I dissent. The plaintiff did not perform its contract. Its failure to do so was either intentional or due to gross neglect which, under the uncontradicted facts, amounted to the same thing, nor did it make any proof of the cost of compliance, where compliance was possible.
Under its contract it obligated itself to use in the plumbing only pipe (between 2,000 and 2,500 feet) made by the Reading Manufacturing Company. The first pipe delivered was about 1,000 feet and the plaintiff's superintendent then called the attention of the foreman of the subcontractor, who was doing the plumbing, to the fact that the specifications annexed to the contract required all pipe used in the plumbing to be of the Reading Manufacturing Company. They then examined it for the purpose of ascertaining whether this delivery was of that manufacture and found it was. Thereafter, as pipe was required in the progress of the work, the foreman of the subcontractor would leave word at its [230 N.Y. 246]shop that he wanted a specified number of feet of pipe, without in any way indicating of what manufacture. Pipe would thereafter be delivered and installed in the building, without any examination whatever. Indeed, no examination, so far as appears, was made by the plaintiff, the subcontractor, defendant's architect, or any one else, of any of the pipe except the first delivery, until after the building had been completed. Plaintiff's architect then refused to give the certificate of completion, upon which the final payment depended, because all of the pipe used in the plumbing was not of the kind called for by the contract. After such refusal, the subcontractor removed the covering or insulation from about 900 feet of pipe which was exposed in the basement, cellar, and attic, and all but 70 feet was found to have been manufactured, not by the Reading Company, but by other manufacturers, some by the Cohoes Rolling Mill Company, some by the National Steel Works, some by the South Chester Tubing Company, and some which bore no manufacturer's mark at all. The balance of the pipe had been so installed in the building that an inspection of it could not be had without demolishing, in part at least, the building itself.
I am of the opinion the trial court was right in directing a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff agreed that all the pipe used should be of the Reading Manufacturing Company. Only about two-fifths of it, so far as appears, was of that kind. If more were used, then the burden of proving that fact was upon the plaintiff, which it could easily have done, since it knew where the pipe was obtained. The question of substantial performance of a contract of the character of the one under consideration depends in no small degree upon the good faith of the contractor. If the plaintiff had intended to, and had, complied with the terms of the contract except as to minor omissions, due to inadvertence, then he might be allowed to recover the contract price, less the amount [230 N.Y. 247]necessary to fully compensate the defendant for damages caused by such omissions. Woodward v. Fuller, 80 N. Y. 312; Nolan v. Whitney, 88 N. Y. 648. But that is not this case. It installed between 2,000 and 2,500 feet of pipe, of which only 1,000 feet at most complied with the contract. No explanation was given why pipe called for by the contract was not used, nor that any effort made to show what it would cost to remove the pipe of other manufacturers and install that of the Reading Manufacturing Company. The defendant had a right to contract for what he wanted. He had a right before making payment to get what the contract called for. It is no answer to this suggestion to say that the pipe put in was just as good as that made by the Reading Manufacturing Company, or that the difference in value between such pipe and the pipe made by the Reading Manufacturing Company would be either ‘nominal or nothing.’ Defendant contracted for pipe made by the Reading Manufacturing Company. What his reason was for requiring this kind of pipe is of no importance. He wanted that and was entitled to it. It may have been a mere whim on his part, but even so, he had a right to this kind of pipe, regardless of whether some other kind, according to the opinion of the contractor or experts, would have been ‘just as good, better, or done just as well.’ He agreed to pay only upon condition that the pipe installed were made by that company and he ought not to be compelled to pay unless that condition be performed. Schultze v. Goodstein, 180 N. Y. 248, 73 N. E. 21; Spence v. Ham, supra; Steel S. & E. C. Co. v. Stock, 225 N. Y. 173, 121 N. E. 786;Van Clief v. Van Vechten, 130 N. Y. 571, 29 N. E. 1017;Glacius v. Black, 50 N. Y. 145, 10 Am. Rep. 449;Smith v. Brady, 17 N. Y. 173, and authorities cited on page 185, 72 Am. Dec. 442. The rule, therefore, of substantial performance, with damages for unsubstantial omissions, has no application. Crouch v. Gutmann, 134 N. Y. 45, 31 N. E. 271,30 Am. St. Rep. 608;Spence v. Ham, 163 N. Y. 220, 57 N. E. 412,51 L. R. A. 238.
‘I suppose it will be conceded that every one has a right to build his house, his cottage or his store after such a model and in such style as shall best accord with his notions of utility or be most agreeable to his fancy. The specifications of the contract become the law between the parties until voluntarily changed. If the owner prefers a plain and simple Doric column, and has so provided in the agreement, the contractor has no right to put in its place the more costly and elegant Corinthian. If the owner, having regard to strenght and durability, has contracted for walls of specified materials to be laid in a particular manner, or for a given number of joists and beams, the builder has no right to substitute his own judgment or that of others. Having departed from the agreement, if performance has not been waived by the other party, the law will not allow him to allege that he has made as good a building as the one he engaged to erect. He can demand payment only upon and according to the terms of his contract, and if the conditions on which payment is due have not been performed, then the right to demand it does not exist. To hold a different doctrine would be simply to make another contract, and would be giving to parties an encouragement to violate their engagements, which the just policy of the law does not permit.’ (17 N. Y. 186, 72 Am. Dec. 422).
I am of the opinion the trial court did not err in ruling on the admission of evidence or in directing a verdict for the defendant.
For the foregoing reasons I think the judgment of the Appellate Division should be reversed and the judgment of the Trial Term affirmed.

Or maybe I will have the kids help me and we can give their dad embroidered valentines. That way I am killing two birds with one stone. I have a valentine for him and I get to enjoy them too.

Dustin Baird is a musician and photographer from Creston, Iowa. Dustin has been playing music professionally as a drummer and a bass guitarist in numerous bands as well as a solo acoustic guitar performer for many years. Dustin developed a love for music at an early age. Dustin’s father was also a musician, so Dustin was surrounded by opportunities to practice and learn the ins and outs of performing and teaching his entire life. Dustin began his music career as a percussionist, playing drums for several bands and recording original rock material with friends by the age of 14. During high school, Dustin was inspired to teach himself to play guitar. He eventually learned to play bass guitar as well, which landed him his first professional touring gig for the Josh Davis Band. After several years of experiencing ‘life on the road’ in the Josh Davis Band, Dustin began seeking alternative ways to make a living as a musician. He began teaching guitar lessons to a few students and began booking solo acoustic gigs in and around the Des Moines area nearly 10 years ago. Dustin is a graduate of Simpson College with a Bachelors of Art in Marketing and is also a graduate of Southwestern Community College with an AA degree in general education with an emphasis on music.
Dustin began teaching with Southwestern School for Music Vocations alumni, James Biehn, in April 2009 when James founded the Central Iowa Music Lab in Des Moines. Dustin taught in the rock band program at the Central Iowa Music Lab for several years, in addition to teaching individual guitar, bass and drum lessons. In October 2011, Dustin returned to Creston with his wife, Samantha and sons, Ryder and Reid, to open his own studio, Sumner Lesson Studios. In June of 2015, Dustin was accepted into the Southwestern Community College SMV Jazz Harmony Retreat, which led him to enroll at SWCC for a year of jazz keyboard and two years of jazz bass training as a non-traditional student. Dustin joined the SWCC SMV program as adjunct faculty in the fall of 2017 as a bass guitar instructor. Dustin also teaches a full schedule of guitar, bass, drum and piano lessons at the Central Iowa Music Lab and Sumner Lesson Studios on a weekly basis. Please see the Lessons tab for more information.
Dustin can be seen around Central Iowa playing solo shows, playing with a band, or performing at private events almost every weekend. Please see the Shows tab for upcoming events.
Dustin began Dustin Baird Photography in the fall of 2017. What started as a hobby and new type of creative outlet, photography quickly turned into an exciting business venture as Dustin started receiving requests for photo sessions. Dustin’s portfolio can be seen on the Photography tab.

Proposals put forward by South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue to deal with an expected £10 million cut in government funding have been approved by the fire authority.
The plans will see a new full-time fire station near to the Sheffield Parkway to replace Darnall and Mansfield Road fire stations, and a new full-time fire station at Birley to improve cover in south-east Sheffield and enable the closure of the part-time fire station at Mosborough.
The proposals include the removal of the part-time crews at Edlington and Royston, meaning Royston Fire Station will close on December 31, 2012.
Two 'roving pumps' which are surplus to requirements will be removed from Elm Lane and Mansfield Road over the next month, with a small incidents unit to be introduced at Elm Lane at the same time. The roving pump based at Darnall will be removed in March 2013.
The changes are necessary, says the FRS, in order to cope with a cut in funding that has already seen SYFR lose £4.7m in government grants − a figure that is likely to reach £10m by 2015.
Chair of South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority, Cllr Jim Andrews, said: "We don't want to make these changes but we have no other option faced with such a huge reduction in our budget.
"We firmly believe that the proposals approved today will help us achieve the necessary savings whilst having the minimum impact on fire cover.
"However, we are still in an uncertain position because the government won't tell us what our grant reduction will be after 2013. Our medium term annual budget could vary by up to £6m, depending on the size of the cut, so we need to keep our reserves to plan for the worst."
SYFR has already made cuts of 25 per cent to management and back office costs to help protect frontline services, but they will save less than £3m − a fraction of the £10m expected overall Government grant cut.
Chief Fire Officer Jamie Courtney said: "As professional officers we have carried out extensive research into how we can make the necessary savings whilst having the least impact on the service we provide to people in South Yorkshire.
"It is impossible to take millions of pounds out of a budget without affecting service delivery, but these changes will help us cope with the budget reduction whilst minimising the impact on emergency fire cover.
"We put these proposals out to public consultation, but none of the sixteen alternative proposals we received provided both the necessary level of emergency fire cover with the same level of savings."
A list of FAQ's in relation to the service change proposals are listed below.
Why do you have to make any changes to frontline services?
What have you done to try to protect the frontline?
Why have you just appointed a new Chief Fire Officer on high wages? Will you be back-filling the other directors' roles?
When the previous Chief Fire Officer retired in April 2011, the authority took the opportunity to reduce the principal officer team from 5 to 4, saving around £300,000 in total. An important public service needs skilled and experienced leadership and we believe our principal officer structure is appropriate for our organisation. We have benchmarked against other comparable authorities and the size of our team and our pay structure is at the lower end of the scale.
Why can't you find more savings from support staff?
Around 40 out of 225 support staff posts have been removed over the last two years. Support staff play a vital role in supporting the service, whether that is in community fire safety work, paying wages and bills, or servicing vehicles to keep them on the road. The entire support staff budget is around £6.5m so, even if we removed every single member of support staff and didn't pay anyone else to outsource this vital work, we would not achieve the savings of around £10m which we believe will be needed.
What have you done to share services?
Many discussions have been held with partners at other fire and rescue services, police and local authorities, with an aim to sharing services where possible. A report which outlines this work was submitted to the authority in February and can be viewed on our website. We are keen to share services where possible but it must be remembered that to do so you need a partner who is willing to share with you, and it is important to ensure that a sharing arrangement continues to deliver the necessary services for both organisations.
You've underspent by £2m this year. Why do you need to make cuts now?
But you've put up Council Tax and will be in surplus next year. And you have £15m in reserves.
The problem is that after next year, due to the expected level of Government cuts, we will be in deficit. In our worst-case planning scenario, the deficit could be £4m in 2013/14, and £6m in 2014/15 and 2015/16 - if this was the case, our reserves will be entirely accounted for.
What are you planning to use the reserves for?
So why don't you wait until the government has confirmed the funding cut, and make changes then?
There are a number of reasons. Our staffing levels are getting lower all the time due to firefighters leaving and not being replaced, and this situation needs to be addressed quickly. Some of the other proposals need a significant amount of planning - for example, the proposals to build new fire stations need at least a three-year lead-in time to acquire the land, get planning permission, and build the station. If all our current cost-savings proposals are added together, they still save less than £7m, so it is highly likely that all our current proposals will need to be implemented as a minimum.
Have you listened to feedback the public?
Yes, there was a 14-week public consultation period, and 16 alternative proposals were submitted. These ranged from different station locations to putting up Council Tax to cover the Government cut. However, none of the sixteen alternative proposals received provided both the necessary level of emergency fire cover with the same level of savings.
What are you doing to lobby against the government cuts?
The Authority Chair and Chief Fire Officer have visited the Fire Minister on several occasions to make our case. The Metropolitan Fire Authorities have also combined to make a joint representation, which led to an MPs' debate in Parliament in March. This lobbying work is ongoing.

I am back in Atlanta, getting ready for the US-England World Cup game. Overall, the trip was great. Shook off the rust, got a lot of time in the boat, disconnected from things a little bit.
Kayaking is very spiritual for me - I had forgotten what a great metaphor the river is for how to live one's life. I'll spare you the philosophical musings, but suffice to say that kayaking is an important part of my mental and spiritual health. I felt good to get back in the water again.
Day five on the river was very good. I had a few combat rolls, no wet exits, surfed a little bit, and just overall felt much more comfortable on basic maneuvers.
I also wanted to go ahead and post this photo before I left town again. It is a picture from a 1990 parade in Downtown as part of the 1990 International Raft Rally/ Project RAFT event. The event was apparently organized by Russian and American rafters to promote peace between the nations. There was a raft event at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and a parade in Atlanta. I love that you can see the construction of the 191 tower in the back. Sorry for the picture quality - I had to take a picture of the framed picture.
Today was an improvement on yesterday. I'm shaking off the rust a bit and remembering how the river feels.
One great thing about paddling is that it really puts everything into perspective and forces you to focus on being in the moment. It is very hard to worry about the job market when you are trying not to drown.
The pic above is the Nantahala around sunset. The main restaurant here has a picture of a parade down Peachtree street from 1990 that I'm going to have to research. You can see 191 being built in the background. I snapped a pic and will post later.
The first day on the river is done. I am beat up a bit, but had a blast. The day's data: three or four nice rolls on the lake in the morning, one combat roll on the river in the afternoon, and two swims in the cold, cold, Nantahala. After two years out of the boat, I am rusty.
It felt great though, and I have high hopes for tomorrow. Hopefully the bloody shin above is the extent of my injuries.
I am spending the next week at the Nantahala Outdoor Center for a week of kayak instruction. This is my graduation present to myself.
I do not have direct internet access, but my phone is working and I can send emails with it. Hopefully I will have some pictures from each day and Terminal Station may turn into a travel blog for a week. Hey, it's not like I've been writing about real estate anyway, right?
Above you can see the lovely cabin I'm staying in. It smell like wet dog inside. La Novia asked me if this was summer camp for adults - it probably is, down to the smells.
I love this piece of the Federal Court of Appeals in Downtown. It always makes me think of foggy London streets or some such romantic thing.
I took La Novia on a brief walking tour of Downtown this evening, something I never seem to tire of. Unlike many of my friends, she is willing to tolerate my constant history ramblings.

The word "rentals" more often than not makes people envision tiny, constrained housing arrangements linked to fellow tiny, constrained housing arrangements. However, if you are preparing to moving to 72310, houses for rent are also an option. Plenty of reasons exist for checking out houses for rent in 72310—rather than apartment units or even buying a home—and through the use of the right tools for the job you can very quickly slim down a list of properties to discover the best place to fit your needs.
72310 houses for rent are desirable for the reason that they traditionally provide more space and add-on`s in comparison with apartments or condos. By having lease agreements between six to twelve months, rental houses also afford occupants the opportunity to move out immediately after their lease contract is done, without needing to get another person to take their place. Aside from that, tenants seldom need to do any sort of maintenance and upkeep. Landlords or management companies are typically the ones that will carry out maintenance, along with other fixes, but look through your lease agreement with care to make sure that there will be no contention about who pays for what in the event that anything happens.
Most houses for rent in 72310 tend to be found in outer areas, versus being in the heart of downtown. However, you may every now and then discover good houses for rent in the downtown area if you are determined to be there. Houses for rent in 72310 provide a lot of added room when compared with apartments and condos, thus they are going to be great for families and groups of multiple housemates. While most other forms of housing choices share some amenities and might or might not include a deck for grilling, single-family houses sit detached from nearby homes and have their own individual facilities such as laundry rooms, and often have a lawn. Houses for rent in 72310 still are also found within easy travel distance to most of the area`s office buildings where you might work, destinations and entertainment areas.
Using RentFinder, we will help you locate available houses for rent in 72310 that match factors that matter in your selection process. For people with children—as an example—RentFinder will allow you to have a look at schools and youngster-friendly venues in the area by way of the map on the sidebar of this page. Are dogs or cats a part of your family? You can search for pet-friendly destinations too. If you are going to ensure that you reside in an area where it`s easy to eat a slice of pizza, RentFinder`s sidebar resources will help you do just that.
Just after you`ve cut down your list to that final house for rent in 72310 that`s your flawless match, make certain you set up a time to view it ahead of signing anything official. And yes, this implies that you should go out and have a look at it live in-person, not simply examining images or video clips found on the net.
When you are checking out a home, ensure that you observe what type of condition it`s in. The landlord is typically accountable for maintaining it, so its present shape will tend to suggest how the homeowner will take care of it if you are a resident. Does it look like the yard has been looked after and is in good shape? Do you observe any walls that are in rough shape or cracking all over? Do all of the appliances it comes with (washing machine, stove, freezer, or microwave oven) start up? Do all doors heading outside lock firmly? It`s also wise to view the residences on the same street. Even though they might be owned by different individuals, their visual appearances and all around shape are very enlightening about what the neighborhood is like.
Not sure about what type of house for rent in 72310 you want exactly? Give RentFinder a go right at this moment—merely click the button down below, and you`ll be on your way.

How do you Prepare for a Boat Charter in Turkey?
A boat charter in Turkey are holidays that are meant for those who wish to be in the surroundings of nature and the beautiful Mediterranean sea. It’s also a time away from home for quality moments to yourself or with family and friends. Mediterranean yacht holidays can add color and life to your time by offering the best of personalized services, special destinations with a dash of history and culture, bustling harbors, traditional shopping and dining experiences, entertainment and much more. If you heart is set on a superb private yacht charter in the Mediterranean, your first question, during the booking process or before, or even after you have booked, should be; how do you prepare for a boat charter in Turkey?
The most difficult time to look for last minute yacht charters is during the Ramadan holiday week. This is the week that most boats will have higher prices to maximize on that week, compared to the remaining weeks of the year. That is not to say that you won’t find a yacht for hire, but it will be limited in selection. Therefore the second week of August is a slightly different scenario. So keep that in mind when deciding on which period to hire a charter boat in Turkey.
When you send in your inquiry and requirements for renting a boat, if you have children coming along for the cruise, it may be good to specify their ages. This can help in selecting a boat that is ideal for children. Should your group consists of couples, this might be good to mention as well so that they do not end up with a yacht cabin that has two twin beds – unless it doesn’t make a difference.
When you are establishing your budget, it is recommended to also allocate funds for your blue cruise menu. There are three types of menu to choose from. The Standard, Lux and the Deluxe Menu, which offers more variety in dishes, particularly during dinner time. The menus are generally not included in private yacht charters. The beverages and alcoholic beverages are also not included.
Another cost that you might like to set aside funds for are port fees if you are traveling to the Greece Islands. The harbor fees are included in the rental of the boat in Turkey, but not in Greece. Lastly, souvenirs. Should you decide that you wish to take back home gifts or souvenirs for yourself, extra monies for these kinds of items may be an idea.
One of the most important things on your check-list should be insurance. Although the yachts are insured, travel health insurance is certainly advisable; especially if you are travelling with children.
These are important items to consider when preparing to hire a boat in Turkey. The above should get you started on the right track. Have a great holiday!

Brian and I have a nickname for almost everyone we know. The more we like someone, the more nicknames we have. A few of mine are ma sqaw, not the mama (from a show called The Dinosaurs that was on when Emily was little), crabby for thirty years, Rach etc. About the time we hit Death Valley Brian started calling me Schleprock. After a couple of days I asked him what that was about. He loved The Flinstones when he was little so he told me that Schleprock was a character on the show that always had bad luck. He said Fred and Barney would tell him to go away.
I was the one who planned the vacation so I earned the nickname.
Here is a recap of our disaster vacation.
1. We went to pick up the rental car and the lady gave us two choices so we picked the bigger one. When we checkout a different lady says it’s a bigger size and we owe more money. I said that’s not happening that lady told us we could have that one. So I had to track her down in the parking lot and she attempts to blame me. I confronted her and she signed the paper so it was the same price.
2. At the end of the race my phone jams up and I did not get a picture with the bear.
3. Brian had heard about the California mudslides while I was running but thought surely it won’t affect us. Of course it did and that drive turned into nine hours.
4. Our first night we spent at sequoia it rained overnight. This caused the restaurant help to be severely understaffed from call ins. Therefore, breakfast took over an hour.
5. Some of the stuff we wanted to see was unavailable due to the rain.
6. On the way to Death Valley I look to see how much that park costs to get into and find out they had rain the night before. A bunch of people got stuck at Scotty’s castle and half of what we wanted to do was not available.
7. The place I wanted to see the most was badwater and it had already been closed from the rain the week before.
8. Death Valley had spotty cell service and our dog got lost. It’s our cell numbers on the dogs tags.
9. We arrive in the Grand Canyon to sleet and find out they usually have snow by Halloween.
10. We arrive at the airport three hours early and still almost miss the plane.
1. The plane didn’t crash.
2. It was fun to watch Brian be amazed by the trees, wildlife, and nature. He was in guy heaven.
3. I found an amazing ring made by Navajo’s.
4. I ran my race faster than I thought I would.
5. Many hours of quality time due to no wifi and cell service.
6. My dog was found and safe.
Brian bought himself some property so I told him I’m picking the anniversary trip. I think he was pleasantly surprised how man like it was. He loved the Grand Canyon tour and said it was more than worth the money. That says a lot more than I could ever articulate.
Mole moral~ When crazy things happen on vacation come up with a funny nickname and have fun with it. As we were booking down the hall to get on the plane I put my hands over my head and yelled I am Shleprock.

How does someone who was raised in a suburb of Cleveland get into the wine business? In Greg Graham's case, the love for viticulture began on his family's 10-acre Concord grape vineyard, where he worked as a youth. After military service in the 1970's, Greg earned a degree in mechanical engineering and worked in the Cleveland area. During that time, he began to make home wine using local grapes. His desire to improve the quality of his wine increased quickly, but he knew that great wines required a climate that Ohio was never going to provide, so in 1980, Greg moved to California. There he earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of California at Davis, one of the world's top viticultural schools. He completed the winery internship at Freemark Abbey Winery and began working at Rombauer Vineyard as assistant winemaker in June 1983, when Koerner Rombauer was finishing construction of the winery. In 1985 he went to work for Robert Mondavi Winery, where he controlled barrel inventory and was involved in the production of "Opus One" and Mondavi varientals. Koerner Rombauer hired Greg back in July 1988, as head winemaker. Since then, Rombauer has had its greatest successes: the steady evolution of their Chardonnays, the wide recognition of their Merlots, and, most recently, the popularity of the Rombauer Zinfandels that now have all of the original Zin makers chasing. Besides producing wines for the Rombauer label, Greg is responsible for the winery's custom winemaking, which accounts for the balance of their production. Because grape selection and production are critical to making a great wine, Greg spends a tremendous amount of his time working with growers. Prior to harvest he is in the vineyard daily, sampling and tasting to determine optimum fruit ripeness for his wines. He feels that much of his success comes from his efforts to personally select the grapes that he wants. "The grapes can actually tell you what they need and when they're ready to be picked," Greg explains. "Once the grapes are picked, the art of winemaking begins as you coax and guide the wine to its fullest potential." Greg has come a long way from that vineyard in the suburbs of Cleveland where his love for viticulture began. Since then his experience, his high standards and his passion for making great wines have brought awards and recognition. Now he is applying those qualities to producing superb wines under his own label.
The 2001 Gregory Graham Carneros Pinot Noir has a medium burgundy color. The aromas of the wine are black cherry with hints of lilac and sandalwood, accompanied by a slight smokiness. The wine is lively, yet silky, with elegant pinot flavors of fresh cherries, a hint of cinnamon and lightly smoked meats. The flavors are long, yet gentle, and will continue to improve for the next five to eight years. This Pinot is best enjoyed relaxing with good friends and good food to appreciate its virtues.
The 1999 Gregory Graham Carneros Pinot Noir has a deep burgundy color. The aromas of the wine are black cherry with hints of lilac and sandalwood, accompanied by a slight smokiness.

This wine exhibits the classic ripe raspberry that is the hallmark if Zinfandel. The fruit is enhanced with a touch of white pepper. The flavors are of ripe berry and plum. The texture is delightfully fresh and non-aggressive, and the wine has an enjoyable fruit flavored finish.
This fruit comes from the Noble Vineyard located in the Knights Valley appellation of Sonoma County. This is where Gregory Graham Viognier got its start, and it continues with another stylish Viognier similar to the previous vintages that continue to receive favorable reviews from both The Wine Spectator and Connoisseur’s Guide to California Wine. The grapes from this vineyard have their own unique aroma and flavor characteristics that are Condrieu in character. The fruit was hand harvested and whole cluster pressed without crushing. The juice was cold settled and barrel fermented in a cool cellar with French oak barrels to retain its delicate fruit aromas and enhance its complexity. The wine was then surlie aged for five months in barrels to increase its body and depth of flavor. The Knights Valley vineyard consists of mature twelve-year-old vines that produce a wine with unique aromas and flavor characteristics that are very enjoyable. Loaded with ripe pear, these aromas are further enhanced with a hint of mineral and light toasty notes. The flavors match these aromas and are big and rich. The richness and warm flavors are the unique characteristic of wine made from ripe Viognier grapes. Enjoy this wine with shellfish in a rich cream sauce or with a grilled meaty fish, like ahi, accompanied with a fresh fruit salsa composed of mangos, tangerine, and cilantro.
The wine has a wonderful apricot and citrus blossom aroma. The flavors are fresh pear and mineral. The wine finishes with a rich, slightly oily texture of fruit syrup. Enjoy this wine with a shellfish in a rich cream sauce or with a grilled meaty fish, like ahi, accompanied with a fresh fruit salsa composed of mangoes, tangerine, and cilantro.

The 2001 Gregory Graham Napa Valley Syrah is dark, bold and beautiful, with an intense inky color. The aromas of the wine are classic Syrah consisting of intense blackberry and blueberry, surrounded by rose petal, mocha, and vanilla. The flavors are creamy rich blackberry jam, bittersweet chocolate, and smoked meats, further enhanced by soft structured tannins and a flavorful finish. This wine calls for heavier fare such as peppered/blackened steak, lamb, or roast duck. It is also an excellent accompaniment to most wild game. This is our fifth vintage of our Napa Valley Syrah. Our previous Syrahs have been very well received by all who have had the opportunity to enjoy them. We are so committed to Syrah and other Rhone varieties that we have planted eight acres of Syrah and Grenache at our estate vineyard located in the Red Hills appellation of Lake County. Our first vintage from the new planting will be 2004.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ---- Shelby Sprague (Stoughton) reached the 100-career point plateau with a goal just two minutes into the match, but Springfield Tech rallied to top the Massasoit women's soccer team, 3-1 on Saturday.
The loss drops Massasoit to 6-7 overall and 5-3 against divisional Region 21 opponents. STCC improves to 5-3-1 overall.
Sprague netted a through ball pass from Krista Woodworth (Norton) just two minutes into game action, marking the 48th goal in the sophomore striker's career as she also surpassed the 100-career point plateau. She now has 101 points in her two seasons with the Warriors.
STCC's Emma Lane scored in the 14th minute as the game went to halftime deadlocked at 1-1.
In the second half, STCC would tack on two more goals, one from Lane and another from Lisanne Corniffe as the host Rams earned the 3-1 victory.
Kelly Cronin (Weymouth) made 10 saves in net for Massasoit.
The Warriors travel to Bristol CC on Tuesday for a 3:30 PM match.
