He meant belated.
Student or Learner
Hi everybody,
I received a greeting message (written by a native American English speaker) saying the following:
A very bleated greetings that is Christmas, new years ...(etc)
Not considering the usage of the singular article ("a") for what seems to me to be a plural noun ("greetings"), what I really cannot understand is what he meant by bleated greetings.
Could anybody help me make out what that means?
Thank you in advance
He meant belated.
...unless he's a sheep.

I am a nube to python and programming, but have a project in mind this will help me with. This Works pretty good and i'm very interested in getting this to work for me, however, I noticed that as long as John is found, then it "looks" for Paul, then Paul shows either In or Out correctly, but if John is not found, it assumes Paul is not found and does not try to "look" for Paul, and just prints John: OutPaul: OutIf i comment out John's section, then the Paul's works as expected.Please Help. Thanks

TV presenter and wildlife park owner Anna Ryder Richardson has learnt that she will face trial next month, along with her husband, after being accused of serious breaches in health and safety regulations.
She appeared with her husband, Colin MacDougall at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court where their case was sent to crown court for trial. The couple own, jointly run and live at the Manor House Wildlife Park, in St Florence, near Tenby, west Wales.
A mother and son were urgently airlifted to hospital in 2010 after a heavy branch fell on them during at the park. Three year-old Gruff Davies-Hughes suffered serious head injuries and spent three days in intensive care. His mother, suffered a head injury and fractures to her leg, pelvis, and arm.

Remember that series I started about organizing? Well, maybe I should start by organizing my thoughts first because helllllllooooo I'm super behind on posting. If you would like to read my first entry on how to organize your purse - click here. I didn't intend on doing this project in part of the organization series, but it fits right in. So here we go!
Start by gathering all your jewelry. I went through and took out every piece that I have not worn and will not wear. It's wise to sort all your pieces so that you can see how many frames you will need before you buy them. Or you can totally chance it (like me. guilty.) by buying frames on sale without a clue how many you need and just make it work! You need to think about the length of your necklaces and such to help determine the lay out of your frames for the wall.
There has to be an easier way for this next step, but this was all I could come up with. Don't judge me. It's the holidays and i'm soo not a crafty person.
Trace and cut the exact size of your frames onto paper. Like so.
And then tape them onto your wall in the exact layout that you had already determined.
Admire it from all angles. Okay, really, I just wanted you to see my new chair!!! Love her!
I'm horrible and forgot to get the next few steps in pictures, but I think you'll gather the ideas. I bought cork board (about 1/4 inch thick), fabric, and used my mothers Scentsy cardboard boxes (another lady used some foam stuff) to put into the frame to hold the jewelry. Measure each and cut. Make sure that you have extra hang over on your fabric just to be safe!
You'll hammer your nail directly into the paper on the wall to be sure that it's in the exact spot that you want it. You can rip the paper off after you get your nail in the wall. (learned that from another blog as well - can't take credit for that smart move)
Once you get your frames up - start adding jewelry!! If you left your lay-out of jewelry on the floor then you should have it up in no time. I used straight pins with the pearl tip!
I'm not sure that i'm crazy about that small picture on the wall. It distracts me. Mom says it looks like a big hole without it though.... It's currently on my floor :)
Does it look like a big hole of nothing? I'm actually okay with it gone. And now is when I tell you that I reeeeeeaally want to paint my walls a darker shade of creme (cream?) but I keep thinking it's a waste of time cause i'll move out eventually.
So there you have it! I think it turned out pretty darn cute!!!
No more wasting counter space. No more tangled jewelry in a tray. No more jewelry trees. And one more plus, it can be part of your decor!
And since we are onto new things.... I made my bed this morning! :)
Please applaud.
And ignore the burgundy pillows... my others are in the wash?

How To Transform The Customer Experience With Chatbots
The problem that customer experience professionals face is that there are just so many experiences - more than we poor humans can keep up with
2016 is shaping up to be the year of the Chatbot. From Jarvis, Mark Zuckerberg's Iron Man-inspired assistant, to Microsoft's rather unfortunate Tay experience, chatbots have been making the news this year - not least in how they are playing an ever bigger role in customer service. While there has been a lot of speculation about how chatbots are going to replace human agents in contact centers, we are still a long way from that scenario. Rather, they are freeing up humans and, somewhat counterintuitively, helping to deliver a more personalized experience. Automation in customer experience is all about making things faster, easier and more streamlined for customers - so we don't have to repeat ourselves multiple times, and explain our problems to different agents every time we contact an organization. Pretty much any organization today has some sort of customer experience process in place, and that process has evolved along with technology. From the traditional call center, with rows of agents handling multiple calls, we have moved on to the contact center, and multichannel communications, to what we can term the omnicenter, encompassing traditional and digital channels. As organizations embark on digital transformation initiatives delivering an omnichannel experience - allowing for consistent customer experiences from multiple touch points, and enabling them to make contact via the medium of their choice - is an essential part of the transformation journey. Customers today expect to receive an always-on personal digital experience, and with 89 per cent of companies now preparing to compete primarily on customer experience, meeting that expectation is no longer optional.
Better Collaboration
The problem that customer experience professionals face is that there are just so many experiences - more than we poor humans can keep up with. Chatbots are increasingly being used to take away the menial tasks from agents, allowing them to focus on the human element that is so crucial for driving customer satisfaction and enabling them to provide better and warmer collaboration with their customers. This will not only increase CSAT scores and boost customer loyalty, it can help improve motivation levels for the agents themselves, which will help reduce churn and eliminate the need to keep training new staff. This will also allow organizations to essentially retain and boost service levels with fewer agents and reduced costs on the overall contact center infrastructure. Today a contact center's costs are predominantly for agents and real estate; technology and process design & operations come in a late second from a cost point of view. With a multichannel Contact Center, the biggest challenge in delivering an awesome customer experience is gluing the pieces together: linking the various knowledge and functional teams to customer service, delivering new capabilities and features that us, eventually, enable us as customers to call one time, and see our problems solved. This "first-touch" resolution wasn't possible before and vendors that put together tools and technologies to achieve that, still lag behind. And at heart, businesses are still providing customer service the same way: you initiate communication with the contact center, and they respond, albeit now that can be done via phone, e-mail, text or social media. And, let's face it, people still don't like contacting customer service. We are still really reluctant to make that initial contact; we don't get the "immersive" experience we seek as consumers.

Sure was a "wet"weekend !
Itruly hope your weekend was better than mine. It started all somewhere Friday afternoon. I started sneezing and such and I was undergoing a real cold. All the rest of Friday and all Saturday I was distributing liters of water out of my noise. I used up about two rolls of toiletpaper, which was best to use as is is rather soft.
So you can imagine I didn;t do too much during this weekend, although I wasn;t feeling too miserable. Have to say, that the soccer game of our team on Saturday didn;t make us feel a lot better neither. They won the game, okay, that's all, but I really couldn;t say it was an inspirational game to watch.I think everybody was very disappointed about it.
Glad to say yesterday the flood out of my nose had stopped, and today I am feeling a lot better already. So I have to do some shopping today, as I didn;t do it Friday and Saturday. Running out of bread, and cat food and some other things. Looks okay outside, although it isn;t going to be a very warm day, already glad as long as it stays dry and may be with a bit of sunshine. And perspective for the rest of the week is quit nice, getting warmer again, not too much wind and that changed direction too, coming from the west now.
So that was about all the excitement during the weekend, great hmmmm???
I didn;t check on the baby toads lately. May be I will get a chance this afternoon. Curious to see how long they will camp under the stones.

What's in a name? Would a rose by any other name not BUMP as sweet?

O brave new world, that has such BUMPs in't!
Come on agas, I'm starting to run out of Shakespeare quotes to desecrate :P :lol:
too much time on ur hands?
erm, huh? :huh:
I know the process of removing one whole word in a sentence and replacing it with the word "bump" seems intricate and enigmatic, but its really easier and less time consuming than you think. I'll try to demonstrate this amazing feat:Originally posted by FukinRightDoggy
too much time on ur hands?
You take a somewhat famous quote, say "I came, I saw, I conquered," then you think very profoundly and intensely about what word would be best to substitute with "bump."
Then (this is the hard part), you write the quote but instead of writing the usual word you must remember to write "bump."
Ready to try it now?
Start: I came, I saw, I conquered.
End: I came, I saw, I BUMPed.
Didnt get it right? Dont worry its hard on your to do it correctly your first time.
The better part of valor is bumping.

On Sunday nights, I take an amazing yoga class led by one of my favorite instructors, Angela (see her yoga blog under my blog list). After class, I am so relaxed and in the winter, in the mood for some comfort food. This recipe is deliciously Italian and pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine, especially when it is raining....
italian sausage and tomato roast.
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2-3 Italian sausages (I use the chicken or turkey)
olive oil
salt and pepper
chopped parsley or basil (if desired)
crusty bread on the side
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper in a baking dish. Shake dish to coat evenly. Roast for about 10-15 minutes. Remove and add Italian sausage, cut in 1/2 or 1/3. Continue cooking another 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with herbs (if using). Enjoy with crusty Italian bread and a medium-heavy bodied red wine.
Recommended pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah
This dish makes great leftovers too! You can either reheat as is, or add to penne pasta or gnocchi. I usually add a tiny bit of store bought marinara sauce to give it more of a saucy texture and top with parmiggiano cheese.

Student or Learner
I've been reading that native speakers sometimes in conversation might say things like ''Neither .......or............" when they either split objects "Neither dad or my sister......" or something even less grammatical they do that with clauses ""I'm neither going to buy a sald or make any food today." ???

bhaisahab: Does every Ukrainian speak perfect Ukrainian?
ostap: Yes. We do make mistakes or say things that are ungrammatical.
fivejedjon: Try that answer again, ostap.
Bhaisahab's post #2 suggested that many native speakers do not speak perfect English.
99.99% of teachers, writers and moderately educated native speakers would agree that "Me and Trace ain't not done nothing" is not 'good' English, but you will find thousands of speakers who produce such utterances every day.
When people ask for help in this forum, most of us talk about forms of English that will not be branded as 'uneducated/sub-standard/unacceptable/etc'.

And another week almost gets by me. The main reason why is that I am suffering from Spring allergies big time this year. This, I think, is because we had a real Spring and no big freeze to kill all the plant and tree buds before they had a chance to bloom like we did last year. That freeze caused everything to bloom at different times, making allergy season a bit more liveable. But not this year. This year was a perfect storm of pollen which causes me to be sleepy, dopey, and grumpy. The days pass for me in a daze with me being surprised by how quickly five o'clock in the evening seems to come. Wasn't I just getting up? I did manage to go to my book club meeting yesterday and I left home early enough not to be late so I ended up being way too early. I passed the time in a antiques store checking out the books. On the way out I saw a stack of records at the bottom of one bookshelf so I squatted down to look at them. They turned out to be 78s and I wasn't sure my turntable could play them but I flipped through them anyway. That is how I found this:
I had never heard of this company nor had I see or listened to this record and, like I said, I wasn't even sure it would play on my new turntable but I knew I had to have it because I instantaneously fell in love with the cover. Look at it! It has great colors. It has a great graphic. I mean it's a 1950s style rocket ship! What is cooler than that? Even if I couldn't play it I wanted it. So, I bought it. When I got home I looked at my turntable and discovered it could play 78s so I put the record on and was almost frightened by how fast the disc spun. That speed made the record play quicker than I thought it would so each side was shorter than I expected. It takes about six minutes to play both sides and you can listen to the whole recording here. For me, listening to it took me back to my childhood since it has has such a Disney education cartoon feel to it.
The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

Buhera West Constituency legislator Cde Joseph Chinotimba today handed over furniture worth $4 500 to Cde Dickson Chinx Chingaira's wife at their Sentosa home that was handed to the family by First Lady Dr Grace Mugabe this week.
The house was donated by the Zimbabwe Music Awards (ZIMA) as a recognition of Cde Chinx's contribution to the development of music.
Addressing journalists after the handover, Cde Chinotimba said the donation would go a long way in helping his ailing friend, as well as his family.
War veterans are fully behind President Mugabe and will vigorously campaign for Zanu-PF in next year's harmonised elections, Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) elder Cde Joseph Chinotimba has said.
Cde Chinotimba said war veterans and Zanu-PF could not be separated, as the two were bonded by the history of the liberation struggle.
He said war veterans should not be misled by reckless statements being made by some "lost and misguided elements" that are on the payroll of Western countries to denigrate President Mugabe and the revolutionary party.
Cde Chinotimba's remarks were in response to statements made by ZNLWVA spokesperson Mr Douglas Mahiya over the weekend that President Mugabe would go down with under-fire Zanu-PF national political commissar Cde Saviour Kasukuwere in next year's elections if he failed to fire him.
VOLUMES of tobacco, which has been exported so far now stands at 42.5 million kg, a 14 percent rise from those exported in the corresponding period last year, statistics released by the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) show.
In its weekly tobacco bulletin, the TIMB said revenue from tobacco exports for this year currently stand at $204.3 million, an 11 percent drop from $228.7 million grossed during the same period last year.
The tobacco crop is being exported at an average price of $4,81 per kg. China, Belgium, South Africa and Korea have been the major buyers of the flue-cured crop out of 46 countries.
China remains the top destination for local tobacco, after buying 13.8 million kg worth $114.4 million at an average price of $8,28 per kg. The second largest buyer is Belgium, which imported 4.7 million kg valued at $7.9 million while exports to Korea were 2.3 million kg valued at $10.6 million.
South Africa has topped the buyer's list in Africa, buying 3.2 million kg of the golden leaf valued at $6.7 million. Meanwhile, TIMB said deliveries at both auction and contract sales rose significantly from a daily average of 3 million kg to current 4 million kg per day.
TOBACCO auction and contract seasonal sales rose by 42%, raking in $125,83 million as of Wednesday last week compared to the same period last year as deliveries increased ahead of the Easter and Independence holiday.
The Easter and Independence holidays ran from Friday up to yesterday.
Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) spokesperson Isheanesu Moyo told NewsDay yesterday that though the current tobacco season was benefitting from the rainy season, last week saw tobacco farmers rush to the floors in search of cash ahead of the holidays.
"The deliveries this season are generally higher, although due to the holidays people wanted to raise money for the holidays because the floors were going to be closed from Friday through to Tuesday (yesterday). People wanted to make money for the holidays so that they could use that money. But, generally this season is better than last season in terms of deliveries," he said.

My opinion is safety. All my friends think this is a crazy idea. Training is necessary before carrying a weapon. As far as Gov, Snyder, he is still hiding under the bed since the Flint, Michigan lead poisoning issue became public..
When it comes to politics, there's no such thing as overkill. Members of the Michigan House of Representatives introduced four separate bills that would legalize permitless carry in The Wolverine State. Representatives Lee Chatfield (R-Levering), Triston Cole (R-Mancelona), Tom Barrett (R-Potterville), and Jim Runestad, (R-White Lake), introduced the bills earlier this month, which if passed, would make Michigan the 8th state to have what is now commonly called "constitutional carry." The lawmakers argue that law-abiding citizens that want to protect themselves should not have to apply for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) before being able to carry a concealed weapon. Open carry in Michigan already requires no permit.
"We are required to take a driver's test occasionally to get or maintain our driver's licenses, but tens of thousands of people are killed in traffic accidents every year, regardless of having passed a state-sanctioned training course and paying to obtain a license," Rep. Runestad said in a joint press release. "Bureaucracy and fees do not make people better drivers. Requiring a special permit to carry a concealed weapon just forces inefficient spending and inconveniences responsible gun owners."
Strong support for gun rights in Michigan had already lead to the loosening of the permit system. Early last year governor Rick Snyder signed a law that did away with the state's county gun boards and required the state police to create an online renewal process.
"This is common-sense legislation to give lawful gun owners another option for self-defense," Rep. Chatfield said. "People who desire a permit to carry a concealed weapon, perhaps because it is necessary to carry a concealed pistol in another state, could still take the necessary training and obtain a permit. A license to carry just would not be required in Michigan."
"Criminals don't have to go through a training class and wait for government permission to have a handgun before they commit armed robbery, yet a law-abiding citizen who simply wants the option of self-defense has to jump through all the hoops and pay a price to carry a concealed weapon," Rep. Cole said. "People who want to ensure the safety of their families against the criminal element should not have to beg for that right."
Cole and his colleagues say they viewed the permitting process as an example of government overreach, and that it is long past time that Michigan joined other states in introducing permitless carry. If passed, Michigan would also be the most populated state to enact constitutional carry. The bills are expected to meet a fight however, and many gun control groups are staunchly opposed to permitless carry policies. In addition, governor Rick Snyder has historically had a mixed record on gun reform laws. The governor has not said whether he supports the legislation.

Funny thing ,but didn't the mayor initiate the switch in water supply? Didn't the state and federal E.P.A both state the water was safe ? The governor went on the the advice of the experts at those agencies and the people closest to the question ,did he not? Should they skate while he takes a bit ?
Facts coming out seem to indicate gov/others were aware of serious issues well before public, and none said a word. Involved water and Legionnaires disease. The agencies other then feds were his and all knew of issue.. Let's not play politics when citizens sickened and then predictable cover up starts and none seem to know here the buck stops.
Well, qualified
Maybe your a Gov Snyder fan, am not. He is a straight up coward. He was my superior(boss) at one time.
Great old nostalgia picture…but there will never be another depression like the 1920s. In the 1920s, when America was conservative, there were no welfare programs or worker's compensation programs to assist the unemployed. Everyone was on their own to survive the best way they and their families could, sadly many didn't survive…
My family members were all farmers, 95% subsistence farmers and 5% marketers of their agriculture products. They relied on their own land and labor to feed their family and sold what little surplus they had. They also farmed cotton and tobacco as 'cash' crops to buy things, tools and equipment they could not produce themselves and to barter with other farmers and merchants in the county. Fish and wild game were a staple, as were farm raised hogs, cattle, goats and sheep… Farm animals were run in the woods in those days before the State passed fence laws. My Grandpa told the story about someone asking him about "the depression" and Grandpa replied…"what depression, nothing has changed for us." That's they way it was in the 1920s… Having agriculture products, farm knowledge and skill far out shined the "city folk" who depended on a job and other people abilities instead of their own diversified survival skills. Today I am retired but love with my wife on our farm where we can survive a depression if we have to. Saving gold and silver won't get you through a depression either…who will trade you food for gold and silver that you can't eat. Bartering skills will be more productive and my save you and your family's lives…
Wonder if the "gun for everyone" crowd in MI have thought about fact that with no permit and no safety, qualification or law courses many states might not get to thrilled about this wonderful idea from the nra lobby? Sorry but to allow anyone to pack with NO tests, no education and no restrictions is simply stupid. Amazed at how folks feel if they have a handgun they can be some sort of "good guy with a gun" and not be extremely dangerous to all around them. Take a bit of knowledge, experience to master a handgun safely, at home or in public, but in rush to sell guns, the lobbyist behind it could care less. I think Vermont has issues with no permit when citizens cross into other states, so MI, regardless of how much lobby money you get, think about it. there is flip side and it is called responsible gun ownership
Name a state that's experienced any of your chicken-little crap after adopting Constitutional Carry.
VT as when "no permit needed" gunnies, qualified or not as no proof of such, enter neighboring states where real permit (and qualification needed) they are then illegal and in violation of states laws. Wake up,, do you really want anyone, untested and uneducated in laws of use, dancing about with guns they might not even know how or safely use. Most states require hunter safety course to hunt, but not to go among us with zero education of safety or laws armed? I have never met a fellow handgun insturctor the says laws like this are ever a good idea.
So you can't name one…
Yes that's exactly what he is saying.
If you read the above correctly it clearly states that residents who still wish too travel too reciprocating CPL states would still have too maintain the cpl license….the constitutional carry only applies too in state carry.
Yes it is better to have untrained criminals shooting people in Michigan …………r I g h t
Criminals arnt supposed to have firearms at all. last I looked.I would like to carry my firearm so I can protect my family and myself from a criminal though.
Yes untrained criminals make bad shots. Besides, criminals cannot legally obtain a firearm in the first place. You know, because there are laws against that and laws work right?
Basic human rights require no training on their use. (remember the 4th grade? "We hold these things to be self evident…"?)
I don't need anybody to teach me how to enjoy my freedom of religion. I don't need a permit to enjoy my freedom of the press. I don't need to study a pamphlet to know I have a voice in my government. And I don't need permission to exercise my right to bear arms.
Common sense prevails. If I have a knife in my pocket. Or a hammer in my hand. Sure….I may fantasize about burying it into that vacuous cavern between your ears. But I don't. Why? Because I am a responsible, law abiding, well adjusted human being. I don't want to go to hell. Or to jail. Or just plain feel empathy toward the creature I just hurt. You see, normal human beings are able to hold a knife. Or a hammer. Or a firearm. All without harming a soul.
Abnormal human beings don't believe this.
You can't buy a firearm without passing a background check legally….the same back ground check as a ccw applicant must pass. And in Michigan you can open carry legally with only a purchase receipt as a carry permit no training or nothing. But if you accidentally cover the gun it's then concealed and a huge crime. You also have to pull it clear it (unload) and store it in a vehicle when your heading to and from some place the grab load and holster before leaving the vehicle which causes ALOT of unnecessary handling which is how accidents happen. The law makes a ton of sense and would only cover Michigan.
Anyone who has served in the military should be exempt from any additional firearms training (now and in the future) as they have had far more than is required by law. A simple pamphlet not unlike what they give to people getting their drivers license, that spells out specifics of the law is all that should be required. It would then be the responsibility of the citizens to know the laws.
The 2nd amendment is the 2nd amendment, We've fought for this country for Generations without any certificates of any kind. Or paper work that states you are capable. Safely using a weapon to protect you and your family is a person's right not and we have secured our America before without paperwork of statement upon carrying a weapon for our safety as well as your familys. That is why we have Amendment rights and they are being infringed by law makers making new laws to suit their own kurupt agendas, and there are peace officers out there that are infringing upon your Amendment rights and constitutional rights. With their knowingly tricks two take advantage of their position in policing. Therefore we all have that privilege to protect what is dear to us as well as our country we defended this country in the Second Amendment way without paperwork do not let them try to Blindside you it's done everyday everyday. With entrapment and legal wording two over Control a person's rights Ponder on that and maybe look in the history book. President George Washington. Thanks and have a nice day.

You may also see in the photo that the board I was expecting on Sunday hasn't arrived yet. The SwiftQuilter is set up on my cutting table instead, which is okay but makes it difficult to use from the other side. The board should arrive tomorrow though and Terry has offered to get large castors tomorrow also, so on Sunday when we have the working bee he should be able to get the quilter table all set up.

Its just fabulous!
I've spent most of the day quilting the practice quilt with the SwiftQuilter and the Juki – what a great day I've had. Both pieces of machinery work very well and I've finished the quilting completely. A quilt that size would previously have taken two or three sessions to complete simply because it was such hard work I'd have lost interest after a couple of hours and found something more interesting to do. The picture shows the quilt just before the final pass. I chose to quilt in approximately 4.5" rows as the quilt was made of 5" squares and they gave an easy indication of how far I could take my meander without hitting the limit. I also chose to quilt the whole quilt with a meander just to get the feel of how to use the SwiftQuilter. My next quilt will have more complex quilting…. Oh, I'm so looking forward to doing that next quilt! Who would have thought I'd ever look forward to the quilting of a large quilt!! Why didn't I buy one of these before?? By the way, if you are thinking of getting a SwiftQuilter and Juki, you might like to know about the little extras that arrive with the whole deal that are not even listed on the website: 6 extra bobbins for the Juki, 2 small tape measures for your handbag, a current quilting magazine, 6 quilt labels, and a bottle of sewing machine oil. Isn't that wonderful?

Wow what a wonderful setup. I was at one of the Australian craft shows last week and tried a quilt frame that fits with your domestic machine. It was so easy to use. Oh for the money - it wasn't that dear, but there are a few things ahead of it on the list. Plus I don't really have the room to leave it set up...

Shrines and temples aren't simply empty buildings where people drop their money on useless prayers. They are inhabited by powerful gods and goddesses.
At least, that's what people always told Mitsue. To him, they were just convenient places to hide from the things that wanted to tear him to bits. Empty, right?
When he stumbles to yet another shrine and meets fox spirit Daesha, he learns that it's not just the evil things that exist in the world, there is good too. And that sometimes, the line between them isn't all that clear.

This book is actually really good. I was avoiding clicking on it because of the cover. It isn't bad, it just doesn't jump out at you, you know? It's a good find and you have very good writing. Just think that is something you should consider.

Tiger attacks boy in Elgin

Someone mentioned having a "Canine Good Citizen" test to determine whether the dog has a good temperament or not. There ARE such tests, one with the CKC for registered purebred dogs and the Temperament Test for any unregistered dog. Personally I think ALL dogs should go through these tests as it would give the owner a better idea if there is anything that might trigger the dog's aggressive response so they can take proper preventive measures. These tests have a variety of different "Scenes." Some of the scenes include a "crowd" scene where a group of people stand around the dog, then move in towards it; a loud bang or gunshot; an umbrella opening suddenly in front of the dog; an aggressive stranger; a neutral stranger; along with a variety of other scenarios. I have had a variety of dogs go through these tests and with the exception of one they all passed. The one that failed was a blue heeler/lab cross who, even after extensive training and such, was very aggressive towards anyone who tried to approach me. She was a wonderful dog in the home, but I finally decided to put her down as I knew she could never be trusted outside. I think her brain was wired wrong or something... :P
Concerning the issue of muzzles, if such a law was ever put into place where ALL dogs had to be muzzled for public safety, I would not hesitate to muzzle my dogs when they are out. I am a FIRM believer in Obedience training and both of my dogs have been trained. They are also crated when I am not home. When they are leashed and out for walks, they are NOT allowed to run free, and are always at my side.
When my dogs are home, they are free to roam through the house, including my animal rooms. My younger one actually helps me "catch" any mice or rats that might be loose by pointing them out to me and putting a paw on them so they don't get away.
With the exception of the occassional dead pinkie, neither of my dogs have ever tried to go after any of my other animals, and believe me, they sure have the chance often enough! I allow my rabbits and chinchillas to exercise in my living room, always with me there to make sure they don't chew on anything. The chins and rabbits quickly learned that both dogs are great "toys" and love to jump on them and "play" with them. Before anyone comments, I NEVER leave the dogs alone with the "loose" animals.
Yes, I realize that I might be a little "harsh" with my dogs, but I want them to stay safe. I don't want anyone to have the chance to blame THEM for something just because of their breed.
About the tiger incident....
There is NO way anyone, even "Arnie," could possibly hold back a full grown tiger on a leash! There is a HUGE difference between a "wild" animal and a "domesticated" one. While we all disagree on what types of dogs are more aggressive, I think we can ALL agree that dogs, regardless of the breed, are DOMESTICATED animals, where a tiger is not. Dogs, cats, cattle, horses, ect have been bred by humans for thousands of years. Tigers have not. Perhaps in the distant future ALL animals could be considered "Domesticated" but that is certainly not the case now.
One last thing.... I fully agree with the statement that a snake is a lot LESS dangerous than a dog. EVERY dog has the potential to bite, some breeds having the potential to cause very serious damage. But there is NO comparison to a leopard gecko or even a ball python! Most of the common "pet" reptiles can't do even half the damage that a small poodle or chihuahua is capable of. I've been bitten by a chihuahua and a boa constrictor. I'll take a boa's bite anyday over that damn chihuahua! LOL! Heck, even a RAT can do more damage than most of the common snakes! We're all aware of how much damage even a small rat can do to a snake.
Anyways... I'm gonna stop rambling here cause my meds are starting to kick in... LOL! <Oooh... look at all the purty colours!>
Take care

Linen Closet
4 comments:
What linen closet? It is one of the things we can't figure out why the builder didn't plan one in (the 2 bedrooms have one, but not the three). I mean, seriously.ReplyDelete
Lovin' the look of the new and improved version though! Perhaps we can brainstorm some solutions for my house :)
I didn't have one in out old place. I used a nice shelf and had to keep everything uber organized. It wasn't ideal, but it worked for what we needed.ReplyDelete
Always determined to make something better; and, you do it again. Why should you not be admired. A linen closet is home to linen.ReplyDelete
Very true! Now my linen can take pride in it's home. :)ReplyDelete

Here's a pic from summer of a bee thingy on one of my Euphorbia's flowers.
Before I took this pic, I was thinking, "How could anything be attracted to such green, dull flowers?" Then I saw this lil' guy and quickly snapped a pic. Kind of weird how that happened.
Anyone know what kind of bug this is?


text: Well my baby boy turned three on the 25th. I have so much to say about that cute boy of mine but I'm going to leave that for another post. I just want to get down the details of how we celebrated his big day. The celebrating started three days before at preschool. Per his request I made monkey cupcakes, which some people at the school thought were teddy bears. His response was, "they're not bears, they're monkeys. They have big ears!" (Duh!) His little friends and new teacher sang to him while he sat in the birthday chair. I think he felt pretty special.

Our approach treats aspects as first-class design elements and consistently applies the concept of aspect to all phases of design and evaluation. At the early design stages, crosscutting concern...

We propose a service-oriented approach to generate and manage mashups. The proposed approach is realized using the Mashup Services System (MSS), a novel platform to support users to create, use, and manage mashups with little or no programming effort. The proposed approach relieves users from programming-intensive, error-prone, and largely nonreusable output process for creating and maintaining ma... View full abstract»

Combining STRS Ohio/OPERS/SERS Service
Service credit in a defined benefit plan with Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) and the School Employees Retirement System (SERS) can be combined with STRS Ohio service credit at the time you retire. The benefit is calculated and paid by the system in which the greatest amount of service credit is established.
Rules Governing Combined Service Retirement
- Although the accounts may be combined, you cannot earn more than one year of service credit per fiscal year in one, two or all three public retirement systems.
- When the accounts are combined, your final average salary (FAS) will be based on the average of the five highest years of total earnings from all systems. (For retirement dates July 1, 2015, and before, the FAS is the average of the three highest years of earnings.)
- If you have withdrawn service with STRS Ohio, OPERS or SERS, please contact STRS Ohio to learn how restoring this service will affect your benefit.
Rules Governing Independent Service Retirement
- If you are eligible for, and elect to take a monthly service retirement benefit from one of the other retirement systems, your STRS Ohio service credit will be reduced for any years during which you earned concurrent OPERS or SERS credit. The reduction in credit for concurrent years is based on the ratio of earnings in STRS Ohio to the total earnings in all retirement systems.
- If you do not combine the accounts, your final average salary will be based solely on your STRS Ohio earnings.
OPERS and/or SERS credit that was earned concurrently with STRS Ohio service usually does not increase the STRS Ohio benefit. In these cases you may want to consider withdrawing the account(s) from the other retirement system(s). If you are considering independent retirement, you should discuss your situation with an STRS Ohio benefits counselor.

There are a few ways that someone who is interested can get an ESL certification, and the best method for you depends on where you want to teach. If you want to teach in the U.S. you will need to have at least a bachelor's degree through a college or university, and get your teacher certification or ESL endorsement either concurrently or post-degree. This is usually a two-year program, but there is a lot of experiential classroom time. If you have the time and money, this is a good (if expensive) way to go, as it will qualify you to teach ESL anywhere in the world.
If you want to teach abroad, the qualifications are different. Different schools in different countries have different rules, and in some (rare) cases, you might be able to land a job just by being a native English speaker. However, most of the better (and more competitive) jobs require at least a college degree, and prospective employers greatly prefer that you have completed some sort of teacher certification (known as either TESOL or TEFL) or significant classroom experience.
There are several schools that offer certification for teaching abroad, and the options range from four-week intensive training to online courses. No matter which you choose, keep in mind that it is always a good idea to get as much experience in front of a classroom as possible, so if you have none, you might want to make sure that actual teaching time is part of your curriculum.
Whichever road you choose, you can rest assured that teachers of the English language will always be in demand no matter where you may go in the world.
Author Stephen Daniels highly recommends http://www.teach.us for those seeking the best jobs in the education field. They offer ESL teacher certification programs and Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees via alternative education programs, so students can continue to work in their chosen fields as they study simultaneously for their higher degrees.

Consumer Confidence is the measurement of how households feel about the economy.
1. Business owners, government, politicians, and economists would like to know the consumer confidence of people in the economy.
2. The statistic is collected by 5,000 households by The Conference Board every month.
3. Recently, the month of march has increased after dropping in february. March's consumer confidence is 52.0 compared to february's 46.4 consumer confidence which is compared to the 1985 consumer confidence which was 100. This number usually correlates with how the economy is doing, like when the house market crahsed, the consumer confidence of the nation fell also.

Thank you

thank you but another problem is that I still can't change the color of the burger menu button for mobile devices.
It stays white and is not visible on the white header background.
Additionally, the links of the menu and submenu don't work as soon as the site is viewed with a mobile phone or tablet.
- feme
So here you can see the problem with the color, the menu button on mobile phones and tablets is white, and not visible if the background is white as well. I have the same problem with the social media buttons as they are white as well and not visible on white background.
And the bigger problem is that if I, for example, want to go to the "Movie" page, nothing happens if I klick on the Movie link (as you can see in the screenshot the mouse pointer does not change like it would if u hover over a link)
BUT I can go to the Movie page if i klick the link waaaaay on the right, but no normal person would klick there and not on the link text (as you can see in the screenshot the mouse pointer does change if i hover over the right side)
I hope you can understand my problem and help me out, thank you.

A once-in-a-decade chance to duck parking ticket late fees prompted about 50,000 delinquent motorists to dust off old citations and open their wallets - forking over $3.6 million in fines while avoiding $32.7 million in penalties.
Drivers paid off 107,321 tickets - some dating back to the William Donald Schaefer administration - during the two-day amnesty program, which had lines wrapping around the block this month at downtown's Abel Wolman Municipal Building.
Saddled with the task of opening 35,000 letters from drivers who settled their debts by mail, city officials took a week and a half to determine how many people participated in the amnesty on Oct. 9 and 10.

The media and the powers-that-be like to focus on the negative effects of smoking, but rarely mention the benefits of not smoking? The positive aspects of doing something always motivate me more that the negative. So what are the benefits of quitting:
• Within the first few hours after quitting, nicotine and carbon monoxide leave the body, halving in 8 hours.
• Within 2 days, taste and sense of smell improves.
• In 3 days, breathing is easier and energy levels increase.
• Within 1 month, blood pressure returns to the normal level and lung function improves.
• Within 2 months, circulation improves.
• One year after quitting, the risk of heart disease decreases by almost 50%.
• Ten years after quitting, lung cancer risk is halved.
• Ten to 14 years after quitting, the risk of dying from cancer decreases to nearly that of non-smokers.
• After 15 years the risk of heart disease is almost the same as for a non-smoker.
• People who quit live longer than those who continue to smoke eg a smoker less than 50 years of age who quits now has half the risk of dying in the next 15 years compared to someone who continues to smoke.
(Sourced www.cancercouncil.com.au)
The other benefit is Cost. In one year, a non-smoker saves $4,745.00 (based on one packet per day, average cost of $13 per packet of 25). That beats a stimulus package any day!
I have observed that people have a lot of reasons for quitting e.g. "for the kids", "for my parents", "for my partner", "for my job". Noble as all these reasons are they should never be the real reason. I have found that if the reason is external to you then you will tend to fall back into the habit. The best reason is "YOU". If you believe you are worth it then you will succeed. The acupuncture treatment methodology used at Alba Therapies has seen people quit within 1 to 4 treatments. We don't charge extra for these treatments and you don't have to wear things in your ears. Call 1300 253 669 if you want to know more or want an appointment.

National Night Out brings in the crowds
The Herald Sun
email@example.com; 919-419-6612
DURHAM – Two-year-old Danny Rollman swung his head around fast when a shiny, red Durham fire truck pulled up in his neighborhood Tuesday evening.
"Truck!" he said, with dilated pupils and an open mouth.
The fire truck signaled the start of a parade for the Hope Valley North neighborhood as part of its celebration of National Night Out, a crime prevention event held in neighborhoods across the nation.
Danny's mother, Jennifer Rollman, has lived in the southwestern Durham neighborhood about three years and thinks the event is a good way to get to know other residents.
"There have been a lot of break-ins in the neighborhood, and I think it's good to have everybody looking out for each other," she said.
Danny traveled the parade route along Shrewsbury Street in his highly decorated, all-terrain red wagon.
Most paraders either walked or rode their bicycles or tricycles. But 13-year-old Matthew Dowdell's vehicle of choice was his skateboard, which he's ridden for years except for the time he broke his arm performing a trick. That put him out of commission for a while.
Matthew, a rising ninth-grader at Jordan High School, said his house was robbed a few years ago while his family was out of town. He likes the idea of National Night Out as a way to reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime.
Martha Wilaby, president of the Hope Valley North Neighborhood Association, said it's the first year the area has participated in the National Night Out.
"We're trying to encourage neighbors to get out and know each other," she said.
The neighborhood has residents who have lived in their homes for 20 or 30 years but never got to know their neighbors, according to Debbie Lidowski, vice president of the association.
"We don't need to know each other's business, but we need to look out for each other," she said.
Lidowski said many retirees live in Hope Valley North, and some are frightened to venture out of their homes.
"Many older people won't even answer their door, even if they know it's you," she said. "They're too scared."
At Long Meadow Park in East Durham, pastor Terry Shuff was preparing hot dogs, polish sausages and chili dogs for residents in the low-income, high-crime area of the city.
It's Shuff's third year organizing National Night Out for the area.
"I'm on these streets just about every day, and we've got a lot of problems," said Shuff, who leads Bull City Outreach Ministries. "We just want to see people's lives change and help them with their physical and spiritual needs."
Gwen Chavis, who lives on nearby Driver Street, had tears in her eyes as she remembered the recent beating of a man as he walked through Long Meadow Park.
The man, who has kidney disease and gets dialysis treatment, was a good friend of hers.
"He's a good person and never bothered nobody," she said. "It's just sad to hear about guys beating him up like that. He didn't deserve that."
She said that earlier this year, her nephew was robbed and shot on Holloway Street and left for dead. But he recovered after being treated at the hospital.
"There's just so much crime – that's why most of the time I just go to the store and come back home," she said.
Lorie Castillo, who lives near Long Meadow Park, said she's seen some improvement in the neighborhood in the past year.
"The house where I stay has bullets in it, where children live," she said. "And a lot more people in the community are coming out and showing themselves. So the neighborhood is starting to get a little better as long as all the parents stick with it, and not let their children grow up the wrong way.
"But I think National Night Out is great."

Accent Reduction
Earlier this year, I had an opportunity to share a wonderful client success story of Adam Bowles on Local Memphis Live: Memphis Speech Solutions
Adam worked very hard to meet his goal of learning a universal accent for TV. As you (hopefully) heard in the post training audio clip, Adam has virtually no detectable accent. BRAVO ADAM!!
Universal Accent for TV
What is a universal accent for TV? Very simply, it is the Standard American English Dialect. As stated in the PBS article, "It's the unaccented variety of American English… that actors and professional communicators often take classes in "accent reduction" to lose any regional or social sounds in their speech. It takes a lot of work."
Adam is a great example of a client who gained the ability to use code-switching. He is able to turn off the southern accent when necessary. This is a very important skill for those in acting and radio. If you follow videos of Adam's ABC 23 broadcasting, you will notice he still retains features of his Southern American Regional Dialect. The ABC 23 producer encourages Adam's accent as it allows viewers to feel a sense of connection.
Accent training is a such a cool part of speech coaching. I am very happy I was able to make a meaningful contribution to Adam's career advancement.
Helping people improve their communication is a great passion of mine. I love what I do!!
