A big complaint about last year's game was the unbalanced haymaker system. Basically, you could throw nothing but haymakers, avoiding jabs, hooks and uppercuts, with little risk and too much reward. While enjoyable, the haymaker system was hardly a realistic experience. EA Chicago listened to the feedback and created the new impact punch system this year. By winding back even further on the right analog stick as part of Total Punch Control, you can unleash a traditional haymaker, a flash KO or a stun punch. The animations are increasingly slower for each respective punch, so it's relatively easy to parry and come back with an impact punch of your own. If you do manage to land one of these blows, you can shift the momentum of the fight in your favor. In Round 3, as EA is so fond of saying, one punch can change a fight.
The flash KO immediately drains the health of your opponent and puts him in the "dazed" state, one stiff blow away from the canvas. The stun punch opens up a first-person mini-game in which the victim can only move his gloves to try and parry the attacker's punches. Because the animations are so slow, it's best to wait on the stun punch until you really need it, and that's where the tension lies in Round 3. You know the old expression about wounded animals being more dangerous. It's the same here, especially against a dazed opponent about to be knocked out. Usually, he'll go for the clinch, but every now and then he'll throw out an impact punch and hit you with a flash KO, completely shifting the momentum of the fight. It doesn't happen that often, but when it does, you're likely to jump out of your shoes in either agony or ecstasy, depending on whose chin it hit.
Additionally, jabs cause more damage, so power-punchers don't have the advantage they had last year over finesse fighters. This creates for a much more balanced game in which you can better use the individual style of your boxer.
Speaking of style, EA added a ton of new punch and block styles for each licensed boxer, so no longer does Sugar Ray Leonard punch like, say, Joe Frazier. When you create a boxer, you can unlock each of these styles and choose from a variety of different options, like orthodox or southpaw stances, Philly shell or cross defenses, and speed punches or power punches.
EA tried to improve last year's career mode by adding a bit of a story element with rivals. Just like Frazier shadowed Ali throughout his career, a computer rival will shadow your boxer in his career. Sadly, the rivalry feature is very shallow. Every now and then, you'll encounter a "rival," which is a rather arbitrary distinction since the rival is no different than any other boxer. When you fight, the commentator will throw out some comments like, "These guys really don't like each other," and that's about the extent of it. As you get to higher-profile fights with your rivals, you can experience a fight at the weigh-in, which is usually your opponent hitting you in the face and putting you in first-person stun-punch mode. This lasts for only a few seconds and then the real fight begins. Perhaps some trash-talk conversation trees or the ability to punch the opponent's trainer in the kidney would have added some real emotion here, but as it stands, there is no added emotion in fighting your rivals.
Also, the presentation of career mode takes several backward steps. There are no rankings and no way to see who the current champ is. Instead, a popularity meter measures your "ranking" and, when filled, you get a title shot. The only stats tracked are your record and money earned. As for money, the only thing to spend it on is apparel like shoes and trunks that give you ratings boosts, but the interface is clunky and it's tough to see what you're wearing and what your ratings boosts are at any given moment. As you earn into the millions of dollars, you quickly realize that it would have been nice to be able to purchase mansions or sports cars or call girls - anything really would have added some depth.

Trapped in a bottle A traditional artist depicts ill-effects of alcohol
Sometimes, it takes only a trigger to find expression to your artistic skills. For Gyempo Wangchuk, 28, the loss of his father to alcohol acted as the trigger.
For this 28-year-old graduate of the Insti- tute of Zorig Chusum from Trashiyangtse, art is something that helps him say what he wants to without uttering a word. And this is what he has done in an unusually creative piece of art.
He was so grief-stricken by the death of his father that he decided to put his skills on canvas. The resulting fine work of art sums up the bad effects of alcohol. The painting done in the traditional Buddhist iconographic style is in the shape of a bottle. Trapped inside the bottle are all kinds of illeffects of alcohol.
At a glance, the painting is an image of death, sickness, and suffering. It's an image of ailing, wailing human beings trapped in a constrictive space. At a closer look, though, there are many details to take note of.
Gyempo explains that the capsules, syringes, and stethoscopes in the painting are a metaphor for tireless effort of medical professionals to save his father's life. He helplessly watched his father die in agony. He depicted himself in the painting as a rabbit, his birth sign, helplessly witnessing the whole scene.
Gyempo says he has been an art enthusiast from a very young age. For him, art is a powerful means of expression. But no artistic inspiration for him has been more sublime than his father's death. "I still dread the memory of that day when I saw my father die from alcohol," he said. "It was when I realized that I have to make people aware of what alcohol can really do to people.''
Gyempo says he was a "normal guy" with a normal dream until his father's death in 2013.
The painting took him three months. He put his heart and soul into the painting to pour all his emotions into it. And his emotions have come out in the painting in all its forms. Bad and horrifying effects of alcohol like anger, memory loss, and vomiting are depicted in the painting.
The painting also depicts a popular Buddhist tale of a celibate monk who slept with a woman and slaughtered a goat after getting drunk. The story depicts alcohol as the three root causes of evil.
The cap of the bottle is shown surrounded by human heads which, according to Gyempo, means that few people can come out clean from alcohol addiction. The chain around the neck of the bottle is a metaphor for alcoholics who are shackled like prisoners forever.
The painting also depicts the sun overshadowed by clouds which represents his father's untimely death. A wine glass and a wooden cup, half filled with blood, symbolize alcohol. The bottle is painted against the backdrop of prayers with which the artist seeks to find a place for his father in a paradise.
Gyempo says that artists like him have a lot of messages to convey. He is currently runs his own studio and collaborates with VAST.

what to do for kids on a long haul flight??

what to do for kids on a long haul flight??
Next Friday (5th) we are taking the flight from HK to USA with only a short layover in Taipei. I am traveling alone with my 2 girls (ages 6 and 2) as my dh can not get time off right now. In the past, we've taken night flights, so they slept most of the time, but this time we have a day time flight.
I have already bought a few new books for each of them to pull out when they get restless. For my 2 year old, one of them is a sticker/activity book that will hopefully keep her little hands busy for awhile. In the past, this airline has only had one movie suitable for children, so I can't expect that to keep them quiet for too long.
What else can I do to help make the trip more pleasant and to keep my kids quiet for 14 hours?!?!? :)
Thanks!All the best,
buy yourself an ipod video and fill it up with kids' movies. you can buy a "splitter" so you can hook it up to two sets of earphones.
i allowed each of my kids their own backpack. two rules:
1) they MUST carry it themselves, so nothing heavy
2) no small pieces to the toys
that way, they could choose what they took with them.
i bought each of them some "silly putty", a special crayola set that has funky coloured paper covered by black, then you use a special pen to draw pictures. the kids loved it and i only had to worry about one pen.
colouring pages i printed off of the computer of their favourite characters (i told them we would give the pictures as gifts when we arrived, which they were thrilled with)
3-4 books
toy cars(i have a boy and a girl and they both love playing with them)
any other toys that they wanted to bring (my daughter chose "my little ponies" and my son....more cars!)

Activity books are always great. I especially love the Klutz series. Check them out; they have a great selection of books that will keep children of all ages (from 3+) occupied for quite some time. I always bring these along whenever we fly. My SIL also brought some along for their 2-day drive from Toronto to Florida with her two kids and the books really helped.
I wrote a review for one of them (Totally Tape) in my blog.
Another thing that I've been doing lately is to prepare "books" -essentially just blank pages stapled together to look like books. My 4-yr old then tries to create a story, illustrate the pages and then I write down the "story" that he would dictate to me or sometimes even just spell out the words that he asks and he writes down the story himself. That usually keeps him occupied for a bit. I'm planning to have a few such "books" on me when we fly back to Canada this summer.
Good luck. :)
I do a few things to help the travel part of the trip go smoothly (our recent was a 9 hour car trip and both girls were gr8! I was so proud of them for not loosing it all day)!
As carang said, we too pack a "play pack" - a small bag or back pack for each child with small books to read, sticker books and stickers, colouring books, a recordable toy microphone from ELC (real success that one!), whistle (the one that doesn't make a loud sound), yoyo. Anything that was small and had a 20 minute entertainment value. Some of their own toys I packed away a month before travel. The idea was that they had not played with any of the toys so it also had novelty value! These packs became their toys to play with while on holiday. Also put a few snack bags in with carrot sticks and sultanas.

Well I was a girl scout once upon a time, you would think I would know better. You would think I would follow their motto. But life catches you off guard every once in awhile. Take last night.
A typical Minnesota night. It was actually 4 degrees -14 with the wind chill. Not exactly the night you want to be outside in the cold with nothing more than jeans, a t-shirt and some socks. No, I did not have mittens and a scarf on, instead I did not have a coat or even shoes on. Are you wondering why and how I could do this to myself? Well so am I. Here is the story.
I was cleaning my entry way late last night and went to put a box of summer shoes into my garage. Since I was just walking right into my closed garage I did not bother to put on a coat or even shoes - after all it was going to be just a few seconds. Sure I knew it would be cold but for a short time, something I do often - braving the cold in bare feet to throw out the trash or get something from the car or get the mail. Well I was wrong.
On this particular evening my garage door shut behind me and was to my shock locked! Now I don't know about all of you "prepared" people but I do not carry my keys and cell phone around the house with me while I am cleaning at 11:30pm. I am not expecting the unexpected - perhaps I should have. My dogs apparently had not thought ahead either because they found themselves right there with me.
After trying the door several times in disbelief I told myself surely something else was open. I proceeded to the other doors and of course they were all locked. My house was apparently prepared for the evening even if I was not. Serona not being home I found myself and my dogs locked out of our house and our three children sleeping soundly inside.
So I did what any sane person in my situation would do - I began pounding on the doors and windows. I rang the bell for 5 minutes straight. Nothing, no movement, no lights, no sign of anyone waking. I am now COLD! I search through the garage and find Serona's work boots and pull them onto my feet, while too big at least they are taking the chill out of my feet which are thankful to be off the cold concrete. I tried the doors several more times and realize I am simply going to have to go to a neighbor for help. As I look around I realize all my neighbors are now in bed, no lights to be seen anywhere. I went across to a friends house, very thankful at this moment that we have taken time to know our neighbors and so thankful that we are blessed with good neighbors.
As I pressed the bell closer to midnight than I would have preferred I took comfort in knowing they would open their doors to me just as I would to them. Their dog barked, my neighbor answered the door in his robe and I woke their little girl - but they were so kind and helpful. I explained the situation and asked to use their phone to call the police so they can help me break into my own home. They suggested I go back and give it another try to wake the kids up before we call the police. So I went back across the street ringing, banging and now throwing rocks gently at my children's window. Praying I am not going to frighten them but that I can wake them.
My neighbor came over carrying a coat for me. Remember I have now been outside in the severe cold weather in jeans and a t-shirt for about 15 minutes now. He tried to fiddle with my door and realized it was not going to work. He rang the bell and I banged on our doors more. No luck. I went back to pitching rocks at the window while he rang the bell. I am in shock at this point that no one is stirring in the house. We suddenly hear my youngest crying and I run around to a window hoping she will wander my way. Instead we hear silence and I know she has climbed into bed with one of her siblings for comfort. We resume noisemaking - I am getting dismayed now and sure we will be heading over to call the police soon.
My neighbor comes up with an idea - he carries a ladder and a screwdriver out to the window I am pitching rocks out and props the ladder against the side of my house and encourages me to climb up it. Now you know I love my children and that I am quite cold because little in this world could make me climb a ladder that is propped against a house. I was scared to do it, I was alright at first but when I had to get up on that last step I did not want to do it. My neighbor was right it had to be me peering in my kids window, if it was him all it would do is terrify them. So I climbed and he assured me he would not let me fall and he is someone I trust and besides I clearly had limited choices now so up the ladder I went.
Banging on their window and calling them, now I can see two of them sleeping and still not stirring! I am beginning to lose hope not to mention I feel like my fingers are going to freeze off soon. Neighbor hands me a screwdriver and tells me to bang with that since it will be a sharper sound. I do and suddenly they begin stirring. Ciaran wakes up frightened by the noise. I yell through the window to him that it is okay and that he needs to wake up and help me. He is quite groggy and unsure of where I am. I tell him to look out the window and I see this big grin - he was confused but I think thankful to see me and wondering how I am where I am all at once the moment he is awoken by a loud noise banging on his window. I tell him to open the front door and thankfully he listens.
Before my foot reaches the bottom of the ladder I hear the hysteria at my front door as they open it. Sirah is awake now and both of them are crying and nearly hysterical. My neighbor thankfully puts away the ladder, I thank him and I close the garage and head inside to my blessed warm house to resettle my now scared kids. I just hold them close and thank Ciaran. I tell him how brave he was and what a big helper he was to me. I snuggle in their room until they are asleep so thankful for my home on this cold night. Thankful for fantastic neighbors. Thankful for obedient children and amazed that Rhiannon managed to sleep through the entire thing!
I know you are supposed to try to be prepared most of the time, but really how can you ALWAYS be prepared? How can you know prepare for a step into the garage to turn into 45 minutes in severe cold weather? How can you prepare yourself and your family for a four day business trip that turns into more than a month straight on the road? Sometimes we get curve balls and we just need to deal with them the best we can. I suppose I should not have stepped outside without shoes and a coat on even for a moment - but really who knew?
It really brought home how cold it gets here and how it can be dangerous. We do keep blankets in our car, I do require them all to have their winter coats, socks and shoes with them in the car even if they don't want them or may not use them. We put our snow scraper in the car in late September and keep it there until the end of April. So I guess in overall theory I agree with the Girls Scouts that you should strive to "Always Be Prepared". But I am also convinced you just can't always be prepared. Prepare as much as you can but then be ready to adapt to life's little surprises. Cultivate those relationships for you never know when you are going to depend on them or when they will depend on you. Thanks to my neighbors and to my son!

What a nightmare! Glad you stayed calm and used what was available. Kudos to Ciaran for his great help. You are right in saying that we can prepare, but in the end the unexpected does happen and we have to go through it.ReplyDelete
Keep warm today!
Wow! I have been locked out before, but never in those circumstances. ;) Aren't good neighbors awesome!? A gift from God, definately!ReplyDelete

Rights treated as held by a person who controls their exercise
520.Similarly to paragraph 19, paragraph 20 provides that where a person controls a right, the right is treated as held by that person for the purpose of this Schedule. This means that the controller of the right – and not the holder, unless they are also a controller - will be entered in the PSC register where the relevant specified condition is met.
521.Paragraph 20(2) sets out when a person has control of a right. This is by reference to an arrangement between a person and others.
522.The definition of "arrangement" in paragraph 21 is broad, but provides that there must be a degree of stability about the arrangement. The intention is to exclude one-off actions or decisions which would not equate to 'significant control'.

What can I tell you?
These boys play a bit. FC Dinamo currently sit top of Romania's 'First League', having so far played and won 17 out of 19 domestic games. Goals are definately their bag, having walloped the thing in well over 30 times already this season.
Okay, I accept that there is perhaps, ahem, a quality gulf between 'First League ' and the Premiership, but the point is they know where the net is.
And they don't mind leaving their foot in. Dinamo average a shade under 3 yellows a game.
Having scoured the net for some likely footage, there really wasn't anything that wouldn't do them a disservice, a lot of footage strayed into Borat territory and if they do anything other that get beat at WHL, a clip running on here of their players playing table tennis to 'jingly jingly' music will haunt me.
The video highlight available was a 1-1 draw which celebrated about 25 efforts that DIDN'T go in. Perhaps Robinson and the back four boys ought to be on the look out for pot shots...
Coral have Spurs priced at 4/7, FC Dinamo at 9/2 with the draw at 9/4.
My guess is Spurs to win, but not find it a walk in the park, 3-1 or 3-2. What is vital, is that we dictate the play from the off. Definitely a match that demands an early goal. (Don't they all?). Anytime scorer Berbatov at 5/4 doesn't represent value, but does look very likely.

they are top of a very average league and were a few points from 3rd in THE toughest league in the world. We also have one of the premierships better defences and one of the best strikers on current form. We should win comfortably and probably will unless we do an 'emirates'.

My parrot hates this cup. She tries to tip it over and if I'm not watching her she'll succeed—she in fact ruined my living room carpet. One time she started attacking the empty cup from the middle of the kitchen table and I thought it would make a funny picture so I ran for the camera.
I took the first photo as she tipped the cup and the next as it went off the table (that's how fast she was) where it bounced on the floor without breaking.
I've used this same cup every morning for over 32 years.
I won't let her near it anymore.

Feast of St. James, Patron Saint of the Parish in Medjugorje
"Dear Children! May this time be for you a time of prayer and silence. Rest your body and spirit, may they be in God's love. Permit me, little children, to lead you, open your hearts to the Holy Spirit so that all the good that is in you may blossom and bear fruit one hundred fold. Begin and end the day with prayer with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Once again Our Lady is emphasizing the importance of prayer, one of her key messages. She is calling us to be recollected in our spirit so that we can hear God's voice and respond to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. She, who is the spouse of the Holy Spirit, desires to lead us along the path of salvation. Each day we should beg the Holy Spirit through the intercession of Our Lady to "create in us new hearts" so that we can become the person God has intended us to be. Our minds need to be renewed and prayer is one of the best ways for that to be accomplished in our lives. If you do not know how to pray with the heart, ask Our Lady to teach you. She is a wonderful teacher.


text: We analyzed pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs), calcareous microfossils, plant macrofossils, diatoms, chrysophyte cysts, opal phytoliths and organic matter content in a 123-cm sediment sequence from Nahuel Ruca Lake, a shallow, freshwater system in the southeastern Pampa grasslands, Argentina. Three stages in the lake evolution were identified. Before 3,680 cal year BP, only pollen, NPPs (dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs) and ostracods were recovered, suggesting brackish/saline conditions in the lake and nearby areas. Freshwater conditions are, however, indicated by Myriophyllum, Pediastrum and Zygnemataceae. The brackish/saline conditions could have been caused by marine influence during a Holocene sea level high stand that affected the area ca. 6,000 year BP. Between 3,680 and 390 cal year BP, macrophyte pollen and plant macrofossils indicate increasingly freshwater conditions in the lake and the adjacent area. Diatom and ostracod assemblages, however, suggest brackish and oligotrophic conditions, giving way to freshwater and meso-eutrophic conditions toward the end of this period. The relationship between submersed macrophytes (Myriophyllum, Potamogeton, Ceratophyllum, Chara) and planktonic algae (Chlorophyta and diatoms), suggests a shift in the lake from a clear to a turbid state. This turbid state is more evident after 390 cal year BP. High values of Pediastrum, Scenedesmus and diatoms (Cyclotella meneghiniana, Aulacoseira granulata, A. muzzanensis) observed during this stage could have reduced light penetration, with consequent loss of submersed plants. Pollen and plant macrofossils in the uppermost 20 cm indicate a shallow, freshwater lake similar to present, though an increase in brackish/freshwater diatoms suggests an increase in salinity, perhaps related to periodic droughts. Opal phytoliths yield a regional paleoclimatic reconstruction that agrees closely with inferences made using pollen, mammals and sediment characteristics.

Hi! I am so excited that you have learned enough about these amazing oils, and you now want them in your own home. There are so many amazing benefits to working with doTERRA essential oils! Although I was skeptical at first, over time these amazing tools have shown me just how well they work; and I can't wait to help you discover that as well!
Why buy doTERRA?
The testing of each bottle goes above and beyond what any other essential oil company is doing.
Co-impact sourcing all around the world is not only ensuring quality oils, but also helping farming families achieve sustainability in those countries.
Constant support and education is available to help you learn and grow.
How to buy the oils?
You can buy the oils at full retail price; which let's admit, is not the best way to go!
Join with a "Wholesale Customer" membership; this allows you to work up to 55% off of retail prices! There is no auto-ship or monthly fees required and you can earn points back to go toward free product.
Join with a "Wellness Advocate" membership; this option gives you the same chance to earn up to 55% off of products, but also allows you to build a business where you can share your knowledge about the essential oils and their benefits with others!
Why should I join and how much do the oils cost?
This is a great question, and honestly there are so many reasons the list would go on for quite a ways! But one of the main reasons you should join is that the oils are WAY cheaper at wholesale prices! The membership is compared to the membership at Costco, where you pay a yearly fee that then allows you to get a certain percentage off. While Costco starts off with a 5% rewards back , the lowest you can get with doTERRA is 10%!
It's just $35 for the first year, and then $25 every year afterwards. The coolest part is that when you renew after the first year, doTERRA will send you a FREE bottle of Peppermint oil (that's a $20.50 value). There's one other sweet deal that may very well have you jumping at the opportunity:
Buying a starter kit saves you the membership fee!
That's right. If you get a starter kit you don't have to pay the membership fee for the first year. This is how most people get started in doTERRA and it is definitely the best way! Check out the link below to see each of the starter kits and what they have to offer.
Benefits of purchasing a kit with me:
- I love to constantly improve me knowledge about essential oils and how to use them. You will have a resource with me where you can ask any question you need!
- Access to my personal help via Facebook, text, phone call, or email.
- Learn from my amazing mentor who is a Blue Diamond with the company.
- Receive a detailed and personalized welcome packet with all kinds of great info to get you started!
How to get started with doTERRA?
- Click on this link.
- Scroll down to the bottom and click "Join doTERRA".
- Choose your country.
- Choose whether you want to be a Wholesale Customer or Wellness Advocate.
- Enter your information and then choose your kit and oils.
Once your order is completed it will be there within 3-4 business days.
And to top it all off, you will get your shipping cost back in free points! So that $6.99 for shipping will turn into $7 worth of free product on your next order!

Toddler Community News/
Hello Toddler Families!
The winds are blowing and the Toddler Community is exploring the wonders of the fall season! The leaves are changing colors, swirling, and falling as we look out the window and rustle through them playing outside. We are also in full pumpkin mode! Our play area has a huge pumpkin to climb on (thank you Arlo and family!), we carved a jack-o-lantern and we have a basket of 5 pumpkins on our language shelf for exploring and poetry! Each month we learn a new poem as a part of our language enrichment. The September poem was "Sunflower" and this month we are learning "5 Little Pumpkins".
Fall also brings the changing weather! Thank you for sending a variety of outerwear for your toddler! Having a light jacket as well as a warmer winter jacket and hat and mittens help us to layer and add clothing as needed.
Mittens: Speaking of mittens, we have found that the best mittens for fall and even in the winter snow are the insulated toddler mittens which can be ordered on Amazon – search "toddler insulated mittens". I would highly recommend that you order some in time for winter! There are two types – "Baby Infant Insulated Mittens 12-18 months" or "Toddler Magic Acrylic Insulated Mittens". Both come in a 6 pack.
Finally, remember that toddlers respond best to a calm and consistent routine! With the fall holidays coming up family schedules usually become anything but calm and consistent. Be patient with your toddler and yourself and try as much as possible keep a consistent routine!
Warm Fall Wishes!
Amy and Lori

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
The introduction of the assigned reading triggers her already established annoyance for fairy tales. Since she turned four, her parents have been subjected to an interrogation after reading her such stories. Why does it always have to be the prince who picks the princess? Why can't the princess save herself? Why isn't there a monster instead of a witch? Her parents have soon given up and bought her books that were not fairy tales. Stories she can read alone without having to interrogate them, but she always found someone to ask. Her uncle has become the usual victim. Soon, he introduced her to the world of Hans Christian Andersen, where there is only a subliminal partially dangerous happily ever after.
As the reading gets more and more interesting, she realizes that she is merely reading beliefs she has previously attacked from all sides before defending in her somewhat opposing society. She has argued that marriage should not be a female's ultimate social goal in countless gatherings. Women should know themselves and feel complete before allowing the presence of a man. She remembers all her friends who have been done wrong by men only to become a shame to the female race by exclaiming that they might not be able to find a man closer to perfect that the one that has made them feel worthless. It is true what her wiser female relatives say, all men are really just one man.
She agrees that gender discrimination spread through religion. After all, the most popular books are holy ones, and what do these advocate? The infamous Biblical story that blames Eve for the fall of humanity and the theory that Eve was created from one of Adam's ribs are only a couple. Furthermore, people do not question stories presented religiously; therefore, they believe them and blindly advocate them whether they are true or altered to suit male dominance.
Proud that she knows most of the names that are considered leading feminist activists, she is even more proud that these women unite in the idea that women should be equal to men, regardless of their background and lifestyle. She really believes that if that goal is accomplished, and it will take centuries, the world would be a better place. Women will learn to live a life that will contribute "to the world of reality and not to the world of men."
She giggles at the idea that she is a "madwoman in the attic" to male chauvinists. What would all the sexist critics they have previously discussed in class think of this? It is a theory that disputes them all. Women to them are inferior to men, but in this theory, the script is definitely balanced if not flipped.
She smiles as she finishes the reading, realizing that feminists are wrongly perceived as haters of men. They do not hate men; they just despise those who think they have the right to take away their freedom of choice of lifestyle because of their gender. She seats herself before a blank document and places her female hands to type a response entitled The Transcendental Female. For once, she does not leave the title for last.

This is one of those apartments within a resort where the reality is actually even better than what is promised. The unit is beautifully appointed with lots of attention to detail and full of little extras such as Dvd's (for adults and kids), loads of games, tennis rackets (and balls!), even a cooler to take to the beach. The layout - with the reception rooms in the centre - means the bedrooms (plus separate bathroom for each, both well sized) feel like they are in separate wings, so there is lots of privacy, even though you are close. We have two children and it was perfect for them, although we would have enjoyed it just as much as a couple. The resort is fabulous, two lovely pools plus Sassafras restaurant which serves great food. Coral Sands is the perfect base to explore Barbados, especially the west coast. Our entire experience from start to finish was a real pleasure and I really cannot recommend this place enough. The owner is a delight and really helpful.
Barbados is a wonderful island with so much to offer compared to it's smaller neighbours. The sea is truly turquoise and the sand white. Try the local rum punch, coconut water fresh from the coconut (sold alongside the road), flying fish and any locally caught fresh fish, its delicious.
There are boat trips to snorkle and swim with turtles or dive on wrecks; surfing on the east coast or calm caribbean waters on the south/west coasts.
Travel to the south coast and lunch or dine at Champers or travel north to the Fishpot and host Manny will take great care of you.
All in all, the best place ever for a holiday!
We had an amazing time staying at Coral Sands. Elaine was very helpful from early on at the booking stage to when we were at the property, she even organised the car hire for us. There was also a very helpful property manager Cindy who was always at the end of the phone for any questions we had and who organised some shopping for us when we arrived.
The property itself is ideal for 2 couples as the rooms are laid out with the bedrooms and ensuites at either end of the apartments and the communal areas lounge/kitchen inbetween. The apartment had everything we needed even down to beach towels, washer/dryer and an in room safe. It was very clean and housekeeping came in 3 times a week to keep ontop of everything. The patio was just lovely as it was on the ground floor and the furtniture was all very functional.
Lastly the use of the beach club at the Fairmount Royai Pavilion was a little gem, definitely a must for us as we love the beach and the sea.
Thank you Elaine for allowing us to use your beautiful home it Barbados we had a fabulous time and would love to return sometime in the future.
What an amazing place to stay! We only stayed a few days here but could easily stayed a month! The pool is steps away, the deck is comfortable and overall it contains everything you need. Thanks for sharing with us!
Beautiful sugar hill
Thank you Elaine for a lovely stay in your beautiful apartment. It was very comfortable and well equipped and we didn't lack anything. We even saw monkeys run past one morning which made my day. Sugar hill is well situated for both Holetown and the beach, the Fairmont Beach Club was great and served delicious food. Our children enjoyed the pools and we had a very relaxing time.
Beautiful Barbados
We remain immensely grateful to Elaine for making available this ideal home-away-from-home: it was perfect for us as a family, and enabled us to enjoy once more the beautiful paradise that is Barbados. We cannot recommend highly enough Coral Sands at Sugar Hill.
Best. Vacation. Ever!
My husband and I had the most amazing stay at this property! We visited in May for a family reunion, and the weather was lovely.
The pool, just steps from the unit, felt like it was our very own since there were few other guests at that time of year. The staff - from the gatekeeper, to the property manager, to the housekeeper - were warm, friendly, and accommodating. (We honestly couldn't believe that our housekeeper even did our laundry for us, so we travelled back home with clean laundry!)
In addition, booking and communications with the owner, Elaine, were effortless. There is absolutely no question that we'll be staying here again, just as often as we can get to Barbados.
Sugar Hill lies just north of Holetown on the West coast of Barbados approximately 1 km inland, in an elevated position overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Facilities include : 2 pools : Poolside Bar and Restaurant : Gym : 4 Championship Tennis courts: Just minutes away are the glittering white sand beaches and calm waters of the West Coast ideal for swimming, snorkelling and water sports. Enjoy fine dining at The Cliff, The Lone Star, Tides or Daphne's - all overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Nearby Holetown offers shopping and nightlife in its bars and restaurants. Two world class golf courses are nearby - Sandy Lane and Royal Westmoreland. A car is highly recommended.

The past few 6 months have been pretty troublesome for me and my team. We've been going through rapid growth and development and we've constantly been exposing ourselves to unnecessarily high levels of pressure. This pressure has led to us being faced with many really cool yet stressful opportunities and lots of growth. This growth has led us to conclusions about our moves and where we want to see ourselves in the next year.
As I stand at the top of the hill called 2017, I fear for the big decisions that face us. I'm 7 days in and I've already had a multitude of difficult decisions to make. The brand has grown quite visibly and my phone is always buzzing. The name is definitely getting out there. I'm looking for new ways to grow further and this is leading me to even more opportunities and inevitably more difficult choices.
For the longest time I've been playing with the notion of leaving my 9 to 5. Few people love their job and it's safe to say that over the year I've grown apart from my profession. I've grown to see it as a hindrance and I've started to despise the day to day activities at my clinic. Some of this anger towards work stems from its repetitive nature while the rest is purely because my 9 to 5 doesn't allow me to to focus on my music. In 2017 I want to see my 9 to 5 as an opportunity to dig deep and eat dirt even harder than ever to make sure I can quit and move to the world of music and business with the greatest advantage ever. It has literally become the thing I do to get by every day.
Time is finite and most of us never have enough. There's always another task to complete. There's always more that we could've done. There's always another person we could've emailed or called that day. Over the past week I've been forcing myself to look at time in different ways.
• How can I make more time?
• Am I really confined to 24 hours a day?
• Can I really grow exponentially with the time that I have?
I've realised that we can always stretch time further. I encourage people to make the most of their time even if it means that you need to eat dirt flipping burgers or working a cash register every day to be able to afford studio time. Eating dirt builds character and it makes you appreciate where you've come from. It also affords you the comfort and satisfaction of opening doors for yourself without become too desperate. There are days I don't enjoy work, but I respect the fact that I need this work to be able to build this empire at the rate that I'm building it. Over and above that I don't want to leave my 9 to 5 if I am able to juggle things a little bit longer.
Too often I come across people that made the leap too early. They jumped off the cliffside without a harness. They free fall and then get hurt when they reach the bottom. At the same time, I see people that have waited too long to leave their 9 to 5 and now they're comfortable where they are. They're happy to get that salary every month and they have no intention of growing. Finding that balance isn't always a question of what you like more. Sometimes it's a question of how much dirt do you still need to eat before making the leap. I haven't eaten enough dirt yet. I want more.
When I mention "eat dirt" I'm talking about working hard and taking on every job. It means saying yes to almost every opportunity, not just to make money, but to build the brand and to gather maximum experience in the quickest time possible. I ate dirt as a mixing engineer for 2 years by recording every Tom, Dick and Harry at ridiculously affordable prices just to learn the way all my software works. I did all of this after long hours at the office seeing patients and sorting out clinic admin. The experience I crammed into all that time has been priceless. I feel equipped to handle all sorts of artists and all sorts of situations now. This all happened as a result of eating dirt consistently without backing away from any opportunities.
Dirt also means finding a mentor to learn from whether it's an online mentor or someone that you know personally. Take some time out to become their student even if that requires putting in work for them for free. The key is to learn everything they know and then practice practice practice. Eat dirt. Get better. Move on.
Eating dirt might mean sleeping less, lowering your standard of living or saying no to friends just so that you can save cash and spend more time on building your career. Alas these changes aren't ever longterm nor should they be. If you're smart about what you're doing you can cut the duration that you have to spend eating dirt. It's all a question of what measures are you willing to take to adjust your life for the short term so that you can live with longterm success. Be prepared to eat dirt for a while to achieve the success you want.

Worth a read: Coders at work
Peter Seibel, the author of "Practical Common Lisp" (which is nice as well), wrote a new book "Coders at work". It is a collection of interviews with some of the top programmers in the world. Do not expect it to be a very technical book, though. The guys talk more about their careers and their general ideas about programming. Quite interesting how many people use trace/printf to debug their programs.

1. Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach
The 2nd book in the series we've read together. The boys love these books - they giggle the entire time.
2. Scaredy Squirrel at Night
The 3rd book in the series. This lovely book open up a avenue to talk to kids about nightmares - Scaredy Squirrel style. And it is full of words they do not know. Love when 5 year old Jonah used the word "decoy" in a sentence as he summarized the story.
3. Night of the Ninjas
Luke and I are reading our way through the Magic Tree House series, and this #5. Exposes kids to the idea of Ninjas and Samurai and Japan. It is Luke's fave book in the series so far. His second fave? Pirates Past Noon.
4. We're Off to Look for Aliens
The second book we have read by the author. The kids wanted it read a couple of times - they love the simple story and the fun illustrations. Jonah was puzzled that the guy would fall in love with an alien girl. Would I do that he wondered? Yes. :-)

Question about Office Equipment & Supplies
Posted by josephgrier on
Check if you have your optic mirrors clean, as well as the lamp and the CCD lens.The CCD couldn't read the white stripe at power up.
Other possible causes:
- Optics motor
- Bind on any paper tray lift (try the machine with the trays open and close them one at a time if the error disappears)
- Look for a pinched wire in the registration unit.
If not solved please call the Minolta Bizhub customer care.
This error code actually occurs only if there is a problem related to the optics.
post a comment for further assistance.

Ridiculous story, not at all like " the Paid Companion" and on top of that vexing background music.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
There was enough interest in the characters and plot to keep me listening, but the narration seemed old-fashioned especially at the amorous parts...loud music would kick in and make it difficult to hear! If this was my first taste of an audio book I would have to say I wouldn't be too impressed. Simple, feel good book with the baddies truly getting their come-uppance.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Any additional comments?
The narrator did a decent job but at certain times loud music, including trumpets, invaded the scene which left it difficult to hear the narration.
The story was not that great - just so-so but maybe the unabridged version would have been better. Except I don't think I could have tolerated the trumpets in a long version.

Small Groups
Community Groups (Small Groups) are an essential part of GCC's mission.
Each Community Group meets at different times during the week to pray, to listen, and to grow together by learning the Word of God.
Please contact us to get more info about joining a Community Group near you.
Five Reasons To Join A Community Group
1. You will understand the Bible better
If you've ever listened to a Bible teacher or preacher and wanted to stop that person and say, "But what about...?" or "I don't understand," then a Community Group is for you! Preaching and teaching is one way communication. You listen while the speaker speaks. It's fine for imparting knowledge but not as effective for personal application as a Community Group. In a Community Group setting, you can ask questions, participate in a discussion of the text, and hear others share insights and illustrations of the truth you are trying to grasp. The Bible must be applied to your own personal situations and that happens best in Community Groups.
2. You will begin to really feel like part of God's family
Most people who have been a part of a group say the greatest benefit is the close relationships and friendships that develop. They will frequently telephone each other during the week to share an urgent prayer request or an exciting answer. You'll discover that your needs and problems are not unique ~ we're all in the same boat. It helps to know that others are facing the same difficulties, or have lived through them and learned spiritual principles in the process. God never meant for you to go it alone in the Christian life. We really do need each other.
3. Prayer will become more meaningful to you
Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others. In a Community Group, you will learn to participate in prayer by having a conversation together with God. No one is pressured to pray, but as you become comfortable, you'll be able to pray sentence prayers and join in. In praying together with a few others, we are drawn together and we find answers to the needs in our lives.
4. You will be able to handle stress and pressure better
Community Groups provide excellent support in times of crisis, change, and stress. You'll have a sense of stability and security knowing there are people who really care for you and are committed to standing with you.
5. You will deepen your understanding of worship
Many believers mistakenly believe that worship can only happen on Sunday morning in a large group with a sermon, a choir, and an offering plate! Worship happens anytime we focus on God. Sometimes that happens best in a smaller group in praying or singing together.
Community Groups have these five benefits that no believer can afford to pass up. If you're not participating in a group, why not join one this week?

You might have seen the "Pay It Forward Exchange" on a blog here or there. I signed up with Wendi at The Knitted Squirrel a few days ago. I am so on board with this concept - sort of way to keep Christmas in my heart all year :-)
The "Pay It Forward Exchange" is based on the concept of the movie Pay it Forward, where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on.
So here's how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet (geez - I don't even know if three people read my blog :-D), and it won't be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that's a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. I will send to anywhere in the World as long as it doesn't involve space travel!
Have a great day and Pay It Forward :-)

In this very important first week Simon Bridges has committed two major blunders. He has claimed he was environmentally friendly when any view of his Ministerial history would confirm that this is not the case. And he forgot his Government oversaw the stripping of democratic rights from all prisoners, and adjusted his position when his error was pointed out.

"Rockstar economy"? Let's hear it for another chorus of,"There is no depression in New Zealand"! Demographia reports on absolute food and housing poverty for too many Kiwis. Simon Collins reports on the ethnic inequality gaps & high rates of Maori imprisonment.

I looked at some local newspapers to get away from the endless support for neoliberal values that dominates out MSM. I found people living with unaffordable housing – & how the power of song can unite people in their struggles at the sharp end of the big inequality gap. Maori TV, "Songs from the Inside".

This post isn't a 'contrast and compare' piece on the policy announcements of National, the Greens and Labour. Enough to say that National are pursuing privatisation while both Labour and Green are at least trying to do good things.
Shame about the reality of the bigger picture then.

On 101 East on Al Jazeera. Too many people in NZ prisons, especially Maori: too many in poverty; too much money spent on prisons; not enough for low income communities; some very good community initiatives. Is this a fair representation?

A new report on the UK government's outsourcing of public sector work is damning. Necessary and basic work to fulfill individual and social needs, (eg social security, unemployment, health care, education) is being "gamed" and scammed by monopolistic private contractors. Key's government favours outsourcing to private profiteers.

National is celebrating the creation of 1300 jobs (only 300 permanent) with a prison. How many more prisons would they have to build to reverse the increase in unemployment under their watch and create 65,000 permanent jobs? Only 217. It's ironic that the only job creation the free-market loving Nats can trumpet is a government-paid for prison.
