Plaza Moyua
Wandering Bilbao's streets, you'll inevitably end up crossing Plaza Moyúa. Also known as Plaza Elíptica, due to its oblong shape, this main "square" is more than just a central crossroads, but a garden- and fountain-filled roundabout worth checking out and even stopping in (especially given its central area accessible to pedestrians).
Originally designed back in 1873, Plaza Moyúa sits in one of Bilbao's most exclusive neighborhoods, where it bisects the bustling shopping street Gran Vía. The plaza itself is dotted by various noteworthy buildings, such as the 20th-century Flemish-style Palacio Chávarri, the headquarters of the Civil Government since 1943, and the Hotel Carlton, the city's most famous hotel, which stands alone on its own spoke-like corner of the square.
The plaza is also a convenient location to catch the city's Metro – the third-busiest in Spain -- which rises out of Moyúa with its glass-domed entrance.

Ready to Buy a New or Pre-Owned Chevrolet Spark?
You don't want any Spark for sale in Annandale. You want to buy the one that's a match for your everyday life. That means looking into all your options, examining prices, and picking either a new or used Chevrolet Spark. But how do you decide?
Buying a Used Chevrolet Spark in Annandale
When you're buying a used Spark in particular, you'll want to start by researching. Read reviews by both industry experts and other drivers, then compare MPG, features, safety ratings, prices and performance. When shopping for a used Chevrolet Spark, pay attention to the vehicle's interior wear, mileage and history. You may find that some are still eligible for a warranty, which could prove great for you!
Prefer to Buy a New Chevrolet Spark in Annandale?
If you'd rather buy a new Spark, look into available warranties and think about whether you want to customize a part of the vehicle. Buying new just might be the best route for you if you're looking for a rare color, a limited edition interior package or unique accessories.
Prequalify to Speed Up the Buying Process
Apart from your personal preferences, figuring out your auto financing options will also help you choose between a new or used Chevrolet Spark, as well as whether leasing or buying is right for you. Get the process going and apply for financing online through GM Financial. Fill out an auto loan application online to see if you prequalify for a competitive rate, and gear up to buy the Chevrolet Spark you want in Annandale. Or, explore your leasing options. Stop by your nearest dealer and fill out a lease application!
*A retail installment contract that allows a customer to purchase a vehicle from an auto dealership. This contract is then sold or assigned by the dealership to GM Financial.

How to Obtain Veterans Military Records
Primary Records Sources
For most veterans military records requests, you will want to request records from:
a) National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR), a component of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration; and
b) Veterans Health Administration (Department of Veterans Affairs).
You can request records online or via postal mail for each of these two primary records sources. What follows are my recommendations for the best methods to obtain records, which records to request, and related details.
Note that I designed these recommendations for veterans disability compensation claims (and appeals) for PTSD and other mental disorders, although most of what I write below applies to nonpsychiatric medical claims as well.

What Would You Recommend?
National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR)
This section reviews the options for requesting a veteran's military personnel records and service medical records stored by the NPRC-MPR, which stores most Army personnel records, Navy personnel records, Marine Corps records, Air Force personnel records, and Coast Guard records.
In the 1990s, the service branches began transferring military medical records to the VA (Department of Veterans Affairs), e.g., Army medical records as of 16 Oct 1992, and Navy medical records as of 31 Jan 1994. Information about requesting medical records from the VA is below.
When I started researching the various methods for requesting veterans military records, I thought the online method, eVetRecs, would be the easiest and fastest. But after I went through the steps required, I found that eVetRecs is not very user-friendly, and I could easily see making a mistake unless I was extremely careful.
I offer some suggestions and tips for using eVetRecs below, but I recommend using Standard Form 180 since it's easier to complete.
Request Veterans Military Records Using Standard Form 180
Click here to download the SF-180 in PDF format.1 You can then print the form, fill it out, sign it, and mail it to the correct address for you–located on page 2 of the form. (It's the really the third page, but they do not count the instructions page.)
You might also want to review the information about the SF-180 Form on the NPRC-MPR website.
Address to send the SF-180: Review the tables on page 2 of the SF-180 to find the correct mailing address for you, and send the completed form to the address identified on the table.
Note that you can type your responses directly in the SF-180, and then print it out. Just be careful not to leave the page before you print it, or you will probably lose what you typed in. To prevent this problem, download the form, save it to your computer (use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-S, or ⌘-S on a Mac), and then type your responses into your local copy. When I fill in such PDF forms, I save the form every couple of minutes, just in case.
Tips for Completing the SF-180
These suggestions are for SECTION II of the SF-180, "INFORMATION AND/OR DOCUMENTS REQUESTED."
You are first asked to "CHECK THE ITEM(S) YOU ARE REQUESTING" – Note that if you already have a copy of your DD-214, you do not need to check the first box, "DD Form 214 or equivalent." If you do need a copy, check that box, and for the part that asks for "Year(s) in which form(s) issued to veteran", type (or write) in the year(s) you were discharged. (Many Reserve and National Guard members will have two or more DD-214s.)
Note that the form states:
An UNDELETED copy will be sent UNLESS YOU SPECIFY A DELETED COPY by checking this box: I want a DELETED copy.
Please do not request a DELETED copy as the VA, Board of Veterans Appeals, and anyone analyzing your claim will need to review the UNDELETED copy of your DD-214.
The next line on the SF-180 asks you to list any medical records you wish to request.
Medical Records Includes Service Treatment Records, Health (outpatient) and Dental Records. IF HOSPITALIZED (inpatient) the FACILITY NAME and DATE (month and year) for EACH admission MUST be provided:
Options for the Medical Records Request Section
There three options to consider for this part of the form:
Option 1) If you never received any mental health (including substance abuse) evaluations or treatment, then type (or write) something like, "All Service Treatment Records, including all Health (outpatient) records" (without the quote marks). You might also want to add, "I do not need Dental Records" (without the quotes). [Unless you are filing a dental claim, in which case you would definitely want them!]
Option 2) If you did receive mental health (including substance abuse) evaluations or treatment, or if you think you might have, type (or write) the following:
To copy the text in the box above: Right-click in the box > Select All > Right-click again > Copy. Or use keyboard shortcuts: Click once in the box > Ctrl-A > Ctrl-C.
Note: The text in the box above is simply a suggestion for veterans who are filing or appealing a claim for PTSD or other mental disorders. It is not an official list of required records.
Option 3) If you received inpatient (or residential) psychiatric or substance abuse treatment, include everything in Option 2, and, in addition, specify the Facility Name and Date (month and year) for each inpatient admission. Include as much as you can remember if you are not sure.
The next line on the SF-180 is 'Other'. Here are three options to consider typing or writing in this field–the text in italics is my suggestion of what to consider writing in the 'Other' field. The best option depends on your situation, e.g., type of original claim or appeal; records already in your possession; time frame; etc. Also ask your veterans service officer or attorney for advice.
i) Key documents and extracts from my Official Military Personnel File. See the Special Notice Regarding Service Record Requests for background information.
ii) Key documents and extracts from my Official Military Personnel File, and any available Performance Evaluations. Performance evaluations can constitute behavioral markers in military sexual trauma (MST) claims. In addition, if you believe that a record of declining performance during military service will support your disability compensation claim, then you should request copies of your performance evaluations. At the same time, keep in mind that, in general, the more your request, the longer it will take to receive all requested records.
iii) All my military records–each and every document in my Official Military Personnel File. See the Special Notice Regarding Service Record Requests and Response Time and Checking the Status of a Request for the NPRC-MPR statement regarding a request for all records. Advantage of requesting all records: It's what the Veterans Benefits Administration receives. Disadvantage: In general, the more your request, the longer it will take to receive all requested records.
No Printer?
First, note that almost all public libraries in the United States provide computers and printers for use by the public. Click here to search for the closest public library to you.
If a public library is not a good option for you, and you cannot print out the SF-180, you can obtain the form…
From Federal Information Centers – That link takes you to an online directory of Federal Information Centers. Use the filters on the left side of the page to narrow your search, e.g., by State. Note that as soon as you click a specific filter, the list of centers on the right will change to list only those specified by the filter you selected. For example, when I clicked on NC under the State filter, the list changed from 1112 federal info centers to the 26 centers located within North Carolina. Also, be aware that not every center is open to the public. Check the Reference Services Availability section for each center.
From local Department of Veterans Affairs offices – That link takes you to a search form on the VA website. I suggest using your zip code to search; leaving the default setting for All Types; and selecting Nearest 10 facilities (or Nearest 25 facilities if you live in a densely populated area). Here is an example:
From veterans service organizations – That link opens up Google search results for "find veterans service organization near me" (works amazingly well).
Note: Federal forms like the SF-180, may be photocopied as needed.
As a last resort, you can write to the NPRC to request an SF-180 form. Send your request to:
Alternative to the SF-180 for Written Requests
If you choose to not use Standard Form 180, you can write a letter to request veterans military records.
Online Records Requests – eVetRecs
You can obtain veterans military records online via eVetRecs (electronic Veterans Records), provided by the United States National Archives and Records Administration, National Personnel Records Center.
To obtain your Army personnel records, Navy personnel records, Marine Corps records, Air Force personnel records, and Coast Guard records via the online method, follow these steps:
eVetRecs – Preparation
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." – Abraham Lincoln
First, read the overview and instructions.1
Second, scan the Help and FAQ page, and keep it open in case you run into a snag.
Third, proceed to the eVetRecs website to enter your information and request your military personnel records.
When you arrive on the eVetRecs website, note the warning near the top that says, "Please do NOT create multiple, separate requests for each of the menu selections available in Step 2 as that may delay the handling of your request. Briefly clarify your request in the comments field." We will come back to that caution when we get to Step 3.
Unless you really like legalese, you do not need to read rest of the very small fine print on the eVetRecs landing page. Just click on "Continue":
You will then be taken to Step 1 of the eVetRecs process. Assuming you are the veteran requesting his or her own records, you should make the following selections on the Step 1 page:
(If you are still on active duty, select that option in #3.)
After making those selections, look way over to the very far right side of the page and click "Continue":
You will then be taken to Step 2 of the eVetRecs process. Select the appropriate options from the first three drop-down menus. For option #4, select Medical:
Option #5 is where it begins to get a bit complicated. There is no one best way to proceed, but here is what makes the most sense to me:
i) If you received inpatient mental health treatment, select Inpatient Treatment Records;
ii) If you did not receive inpatient mental health treatment, but you did see a military psychologist, psychiatrist, clinical social worker, or substance abuse counselor for outpatient mental health or substance abuse treatment, select Mental Health Clinic Records;
iii) If you never received any type of mental health or substance abuse treatment, counseling, or evaluation, select Outpatient Treatment Records.
Then click "Continue" on that page (on the right side of the page).
Complete the information requested on the next page, which looks like this:
If you do not know your Service Number, type in "Unknown." [Note that none of the military branches have used service numbers as an identifier since at least 1975. Click here for exact dates.] When you are done, click "Continue" (on the right side of the page), which will take you to the all-important "Documents Requested" page, which looks like this:
The "Documents Requested" page is important because this is where you need to type in all the documents you want in the Comments box. Before that though, note that you should keep the default selection as "I would like to request an UNDELETED Report of Separation." (In other words, you do not need to change that part as it is pre-selected for the UNDELETED Report of Separation, which is the one you want.)
You then want to fill in the Comments block. Note the message next to the Comments section that says, "Please do not use the Enter key." Using the Enter key would be the usual way to separate your list of documents. Since you cannot do that, I would use / forward slashes / or | vertical lines | to separate each document (either one should work fine).
By the way, this is where the warning on the eVetRecs landing page applies. As you might recall, that warning said, "Please do NOT create multiple, separate requests for each of the menu selections available in Step 2 as that may delay the handling of your request. Briefly clarify your request in the comments field." You certainly do not want a "delay in handling your request"!
Therefore, you want to request whatever the most relevant medical records are in Step 2, Option 5, as I suggested above. Then you need to request everything else by typing it into the Comments block.
You might want to ask your Veterans Service Officer (representative) if he or she has any recommendations regarding specific records to request, but here is what I suggest you request. I have written the following list in a format that you can copy-and-paste into the Comments form on the eVetRecs site. (Right-click in the box > Select All > Right-click again > Copy … or: Place your cursor in the box > Ctrl-A > Ctrl-C).
VA Medical Records
Blue Button Download from MyHealtheVet
You can download almost all of your VA medical records using the Blue Button feature on MyHealtheVet (pronounced 'my healthy vet'). The only exceptions are Vet Center records (see below), and medical records from before about 2003 (exact date varies from one VAMC to another). {VA Lingo: VAMC = Veterans Affairs Medical Center}
VA Medical Center – Release of Information Office – Written Requests
If you cannot use MyHealtheVet Blue Button to download copies of your VA medical records you will need to request them from the Release of Information Office at each VA medical center where you received treatment. {VA Lingo: Release of Information Office = ROI or the ROI office.}
Complete VA Form 10-5345a (Individuals' Request for a Copy of their Own Health Information), and mail it to the Release of Information Office at the VA medical center(s) where you received medical care.
Or go to the medical center and request your records in person. At the front desk, ask for directions to the Release of Information Office. The ROI Office has the forms, which you can complete there, so you do not have to download them.
Try to find the exact address for the Release of Information Office, e.g., room number, mailing code, building number–every VA medical center is different so the specifics will vary. But using the exact address might help your letter reach the office faster.
To find the Release of Information Office exact mailing address, search Google or Bing for the VA medical center. Then, on the left nav bar (navigation menu), go to: Patients & Visitors > Patient Information > Request Your Medical Records. This works for most VA medical centers but not all of them, and the VA website search engine is horrible. Therefore you may have to call the medical center to find the mailing address for the Release of Information Office.
If you mail your completed VA Form 10-5345a via the Postal Service, consider using one of the following options. These descriptions are quoted directly from the USPS website, on the Insurance & Extra Services page.
Certified Mail® – Prove you sent it. See when it was delivered or that a delivery attempt was made, and get the signature of the person who accepts the mailing when combined with Return Receipt. Purchase at your Post Office. Present for mailing to a Postal employee if a postmarked sender's receipt is requested. Combine with Return Receipt to get electronic or physical delivery record showing the recipient's signature.
Signature Confirmation™ – Find out information about the date and time an item was delivered, or when a delivery attempt was made. Add security by requiring a signature. A delivery record is kept by USPS and available electronically or by email, upon request. Purchase online or at your Post Office depending on the mail class chosen. [Note: You need to send it Priority Mail to use Signature Confirmation™, i.e., you cannot send it via Standard Mail.]
Certificate of Mailing – Have evidence that you send the item when you say you did. This official record shows the date your mail was presented to USPS for mailing.
If you send your completed VA Form 10-5345a via FedEx or UPS, you should receive proof of delivery, although those services probably cost more than the USPS.
Vet Center Records
Vet Center records must be requested directly from the Vet Center where you received counseling.
⇒ You will not receive Vet Center records when you request your medical records from a VA medical center's Release of Information (ROI) Office.
⇒ Your Vet Center records are not on MyHealtheVet.
⇒ The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) does not routinely seek out Vet Center records because most veterans have not been to a Vet Center. However, a lot of veterans with PTSD have sought counseling a Vet Center, and those records could prove very helpful to your claim.
Use the Vet Center locator to find contact information for any Vet Center(s) where you have received counseling.
Call the Vet Center for advice on how to best obtain your records, e.g., if you live close enough, it might be faster to simply visit the Vet Center. Otherwise, mail VA Form 10-5345a to the Vet Center to request your records.
Recently Discharged Veterans
TRICARE – If applicable, request medical records from TRICARE.
Military Hospitals and Clinics – Request paper copies of your medical records from each military hospital or clinic records office where you received medical (including mental health) care. If it's been more than two years since your last appointment, request copies of your records from the National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR).
Military OneSource – If you were referred off-base to a private psychologist, counselor, or psychiatrist while on active duty, you need to contact that doctor or therapist directly to request your records. Those records are usually not in your STRs (Service Treatment Records), also known as SMRs (Service Medical Records).
Civilian Doctors – You must request a copy of your medical records from each individual health care provider you have visited. You may be responsible for any fees charged for copying or mailing medical records. Active duty service members are not responsible for any fees charged for copying or mailing medical records.
Private Medical and Mental Health Records
Since your discharge from military service, if you saw a counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, substance abuse counselor, neurologist, rehabilitation medicine doctor (physiatrist), or primary care physician in the private sector, you need to request copies of those treatment records. You must request those medical records directly from the doctor's office. You can sign consent forms and ask VBA to do it for you, but you might be able to get them faster yourself. Self-reliance pays off. The same applies if you went to rehab, or were hospitalized in a psychiatric unit or hospital.
Vocational Rehabilitation
If you participated in state vocational rehabilitation program, or a VA voc rehab program, it usually helps support your claim or appeal if you obtain those records. Note that the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) runs the vocational rehabilitation programs for VA, not the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
Any Mistakes?
If you see any errors in what I have written above, please comment (reply) below, and I will correct them. – Thank you!
What would you recommend?
Do you have any recommendations for obtaining veterans military records or VA medical records? If so, please comment (reply) below!
1. PDF = Portable Document Format. You probably already have software on your computer that allows you to read PDF documents, but if not, the U.S. Census Bureau has a succinct, helpful guide to PDF, including links to download the software for reading PDF files.
2. Please note the following, from the Help and FAQ page: "Print, sign and date the signature verification area of your customized form. If you don't have a printer, have a pen and paper handy and we will guide you through the process. This is important because the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) requires that all requests for records and information be submitted in writing."
Note the part that says, If you don't have a printer, have a pen and paper handy and we will guide you through the process. What they mean is that when you get to that step in the eVetRecs process, the web page will give you instructions for submitting signed permission for the National Personnel Records Center to release your military personnel file to you. Essentially you mail them a short letter, signed and dated by you (the veteran), saying "Yes, send me the records I requested online via eVetRecs." (But be sure to follow their specific instructions.)
Of course, if you have a printer, you can simply print out the form, sign it, and mail it in. (Follow the instructions on the eVetRecs website when you get to that step.)

Colin Kaepernik, the quarterback for the 49s, caused an uproar recently when he refused to stand for the National Anthem at a football game, claiming that because America oppresses black people, he won't recognize the country.
Ben Carson, the famed retired neurosurgeon and one-time candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, issued a sharp retort to Kaepernik over his actions, blasting him for claiming the very country that pays him millions of dollars is somehow racist, Fox News reported.
"(Colin Kaepernik) disrespected our national anthem and our flag after so many people have sacrificed so that he could have the freedoms that he has today, so that he could make a very, very good living in this 'racist' land," Carson told the network.
Advertisement - story continues below
Evidently many Americans agree with Carson's statement. A picture of Carson's quote was shared on Fox News' Facebook page and as of Monday afternoon had attracted more than 200,000 likes.
TRENDING: Ellison Is Done: 911 Report Confirms Assault Details and We've Got the Report
If Kaepernik thinks that America is some evil oppressive state, than he is free to leave this country at any time and go live in Russia or China or somewhere else that might be more in line with his beliefs.
Kaepernik is literally paid millions of dollars to run back on forth on a field, playing a boys' game. If this country were determined to oppress black people, why would it pay him so much money?
Advertisement - story continues below
Kaepernik makes more money in a year than the average white American makes in a lifetime life — yet he barely does as much work. You don't see white Americans protesting the national anthem because he makes more money than they do.
Yes, racism still exists in America, as it does all over the world. Acting like a disrespectful brat during the national anthem is no way to solve any of the problems facing this country. All it does is alienate even more people.
Share this on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think of what Colin Kaepernik did, and what you think of Ben Carson's response.

Checking In to the Bates Motel at SXSW
After a long, productive day at SXSW in Austin, Texas, YH's own Nikki Novak just needs a place to lay her head. Good thing we found the Bates Motel! Looks pretty friendly, right? Surely, it has nothing to do with THE Bates Motel, as seen on the A&E series based on the notorious Alfred Hitchcock horror classic, 'Psycho'! That's just make-believe! So come along and join us for a quick nap and maybe a shower, won't you?

"Will the US Take Mexico for Granted Too?": Pointers on Doing Business with Our New NAFTA Neighbor.
Julian, Kerry E.; Peterson, Roger A.
This paper reviews the conduct of United States-based businesses and their executives in foreign countries, and views Americans as ill-prepared to integrate their business with Mexican culture. The economic importance of Mexico is analyzed in view of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and expansion of Japanese and European companies in this area is noted. An overview of Mexican culture is then presented, to help American firms and their executives avoid problems and maximize their chances for success. It discusses the roles of men and women, the Mexican home, education, sports, family names, social invitations and their importance, humor, time, friendship and affection, the work week, individuality versus individualism, giving commands, nonverbal communication, when yes means no, and exchanging pleasantries. Anxieties about working with Mexico, such as government corruption and Mexico's precarious financial situation, are dispelled as obsolete. Seven recommendations are offered to American companies intending to enter the Mexican market. (Contains 15 references.) (JDD)

Comments once again overtake Charlottesville City Council meeting
The Daily Progress Monday, November 06, 2017 at 11 p.m.
It was the latest in a long run of raucous City Council meetings on Monday night, with public comment overtaking the agenda.
On the eve of Tuesday's election, a majority of the speakers during the meeting addressed a recent Daily Progress article on independent City Council candidate Nikuyah Walker's emails to council members and Mayor Mike Signer's disclosure early in the evening that he had raised concerns about Walker, who had been sharply critical of some council members and city officials in her emails.
Some speakers also addressed the city's tentative plans to create a new citizen review board that could grant community members greater oversight of police conduct complaints.

A big majority or two-thirds of tenants in private rental houses in the UK believe they will never afford to buy a home much less their dream house.
A study by online letting agents Property Let By Us showed that a minority 35% of tenants think they will be able to buy their own properties.
It says that rising rents and soaring house prices have made property ownership a distant dream for many tenants.
The number of people living in private rented accommodation has risen from 2.2 million in 2002/2003 to nearly 3.9 million last year. The number of people renting from private landlords now outstrips those in council and housing association homes for the first time.
Half of those renting privately are under the age of 34, with private rentals outstripping social housing for the first time, according to data from the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Home ownership has fallen to its lowest level for a quarter of a century and the number of people renting has almost doubled. More than a third of England's 14.3 million home owners are now aged 65 and over as young people have been frozen off the property ladder.
Just 1.4 million home owners are aged between 25 and 34, the age group most likely to be raising families, while 96,000 are aged between 16 and 24.
'Recent figures show that house prices leaped by another £18,000 in the year to August, hitting yet another record high of £189,306 on average,' said Jane Morris, managing director of Property Let By Us.
'This is more bad news for would be home buyers. The reality is that home ownership is changing in the UK and over the next 10 years, we are going to see increasing numbers of people renting rather than buying. Rising rents have meant that many tenants, particularly young people have been unable to save a deposit and the recent mortgage changes have made it even harder to secure funding,' she explained.
She pointed out that the growing demand for rental accommodation is good news for landlords. But as the market continues to expand, it evitable that this will bring greater Government scrutiny to the sector. Legislative changes like immigration will put more and more responsibility on landlords and tighter controls will have to be introduced to ensure basic standards of accommodation are maintained and any deviance is punished effectively,' said Morris.
'Professional and law abiding landlords will benefit hugely from this expanding market with rising asset values, increased tenant demand and good, stable rental income,' she added.
The rebound in home sales is definitely welcome news to real estate agents and brokers across the country. Now that demand is slowly climbing up again, realtors have less to worry about as most of them aim to reach year-end or monthly quotas.
Real estate agents can take advantage of the uptrend by using disruptive technologies created by Realbiz Media Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RBIZ) to increase their sales.
Realbiz Media is a Florida-based digital media company that develops proprietary video marketing software that agents and their brokers can use to promote their virtual tour listings online.
Its Virtual Tour Program allows real estate sellers to create virtual tours and presentations that are optimized for mobile viewing and could be syndicated through social media for only $29.95 a month.
The program features a video search engine optimization (VSEO) tool that automatically generate meta tags and descriptions for virtual tours and listings that agents have uploaded to the platform so that they would be found easily by consumers online.
The program also has tools for creating QR codes, e-flyers, and seller reports as bonus features.
Realbiz Media's platforms, applications and web sites feature social integration, which allow agents to cross-publish their posts to social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.

Jack Osbourne says rumors of parents' split are "bullsh*t"
Rumors surfaced over the weekend that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were on the rocks. Son Jack says nope.
The Osbournes' marriage is not in trouble, says son Jack Osbourne, who used Twitter to slam rumors that parents Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne were splitting up.
Osbourne tweeted "...it's all bullsh*t. Last time I check a lot of British news papers weren't amazing sources of accurate information. Moving on…"
British newspaper/tabloid The Sun reported this weekend that the two Osbournes were living separate lives and about to break up.
The paper said that Sharon was staying in a hotel while her new Beverly Hills home is renovated. Meanwhile, Ozzy is renting a property a few miles away.
Lindsay Lohan not pregnant, neither is Sharon Osbourne >>
A source told the Sun, "They are living at different addresses and are not spending any time together. They row a lot."
No, not on the water. Fighting. They fight a lot. Sez a "source."
"They aren't acting like husband and wife. It is unusual to not even have dinner together when both of them are five minutes apart," the source continued.
Hey, Sharon and Ozzy have been married for a long time. Who wants to have dinner with your spouse of 31 years? You've said it all.
Sharon Osbourne's fire scare turns up "5 gorgeous men" >>
Sharon's people said that the couple is "still together" but are both busy: "They've both got huge work commitments. She is at the hotel for work and he is starting his Black Sabbath tour… Sharon and Ozzy have spent long periods of time apart before when she was working in the UK. The marriage is not on the rocks," the Post quoted the reps.
What work Sharon is doing is unknown, though she holds down a co-host spot on The Talk and is rumored to be returning to the X Factor panel this year.
The Examiner also reported that Ozzy and his Black Sabbath bandmates will appear together on the season finale of CSI, where the band will also debut a new song. The Black Sabbath album is the first from the band since 1978.

But we need to create more
Oh of course, don't forget to upset the best
Please slay more!
Kill everything, that's what we need
How can we repay you
You've been so kind
Don't worry about all the shit you've done
It's only irreversible!
Produce, industry
Blackened water poisoned sea
More for you, more for me
It's only irreversible!
Another fucking oil spill
Another fucking forest killed
How much fucking more until
It's only irreversible
All you get - you're blind
Stupid fuck - you're blind
Nothing left - you're blind
It's only irreversible - Gone!

In past decades, retirees have used bonds to meet current and future cash flow needs. Cash from bonds can substitute a regular paycheck. However, using bonds for the sole purpose of income can add unanticipated risk.
Getting enough cash out of bonds through interest income to pay bills may mean
extending maturities, going lower in credit rating or both. The present income from a basket of bonds may in adversely add risk that is especially rough on retirees. Long term bonds are a poor hedge against inflation which makes the stream of future income highly sensitive to inflation.
Nobel Laureate, Merton Miller said "Cash is cash. Should a retiree care whether they draw income from bond interest, dividends or capital growth?" His research argues there is no reason to prefer one source of cash above the other. For example, a business will have different sources of income; consulting fees, sales of product and investment income. All sources contribute to the business cash flow.
Bonds are an important part of a well-diversified portfolio. In any given year income for the retiree may be distributed from a combination of the portfolios capital appreciation in bonds or stocks, dividend or interest. This inflation hedged income is known as a "synthetic dividend" generated from the portfolios growth from many sources through the years of retirement.
We look forward to visiting with you in more detail of how we employ this academic approach in our client's portfolios to distribute the "synthetic dividend".

Winter brings with it a lot of great things - endless cups of hot chocolate, comfy layers, and the holidays. But the cold weather also creates uncomfortable skin conditions like dry and itchy skin. Aveeno is one of my favorite skincare brands that treats dry skin and I was so excited to sample some of the products in the Skin Relief Line!
Aveeno Skin Relief Gentle Scent Body Wash
This season, I'm always looking for products to help with dry and itchy skin. I am sometimes guilty of not using lotion every day, so this Aveeno Skin Relief Bodywash has been a welcome addition to my skincare routine. As soon as I tried this, my skin felt moisturized and less itchy for a good portion of the day. The light coconut scent was also nice, and a reminder that summer will be back soon!
Avenue Skin Relief Gentle Scent Lotion
Of course I had to try this lotion immediately after showering with the body wash, so my skin was very happy! It's great used on its own as well. This lotion is not greasy, so it can be used in any occasion. I apply this before I go to bed - it's extra moisturizing without leaving a strong overpowering scent. I definitely want to keep a bottle at work as well.
I think the magical ingredient is the oatmeal! It's a natural item that makes a huge difference and doesn't leave any harsh effects (perfect for sensitive skin!) It looks like there is another scent available if coconut is not your thing. I definitely recommend this line to anyone!
Thanks to Crowdtap and Aveeno for the samples in exchange for my honest review. All opinions shared above are my own.

Bible Study Helps and Lessons
Are you looking for answers to life's questions? Do you want to know what the Bible says about a certain subject or issue?
Here are some resources that will help in your life journey.
Is There Anything Left You Can Trust?
In these morally challenged times - when billions are embezzled through corporate fraud when trusted, spiritual leaders prove false when lying in politics seems to be the norm when those you depend on the most often hurt you the deepest - is there anything left you can trust? Yes! You can fully trust the Bible! Why? Just take a look at the evidence...
Did God Create the Devil?
Most people in the world are being deceived by an evil genius bent on destroying their lives - a brilliant mastermind called the devil, or Satan. But this dark prince is much more than what you might think... many say he's just a devious mythical figure, but the Bible says he's very real, and he's deceiving families, churches, and even nations to increase sorrow and pain.
Rescue from Above
Picture the horror of being stranded in an ocean with hungry, deadly sharks closing in! Then imagine how grateful and relieved you'd feel to be plucked to safety. The truth is, every person on the planet is lost in an ocean fraught with danger. We urgently need rescue, not from a boat or helicopter, but from our Heavenly Father. God loves you, so much that He sent His Son to save you. - See more at: http://www.amazingfacts.org/bible-study/bible-study-guides.aspx#sthash.l26Wa9vd.dpuf
A Colossal City in Space
Talk about a great city! New York, Tokyo, and London are nothing in comparison! Just wait until you grasp the amazing facts about this gigantic city that can travel through space. It's all fact, not science fiction! The information in this Study Guide will thrill your soul and give you hope for the future...
Keys for a Happy Marriage
As you've probably heard, nearly half of all marriages now end in divorce, leaving bitter spouses and confused children in their wake. Don't let this happen to you! Whether your marriage is going through tough times or is experiencing marital bliss, or even if you're not yet married but considering it, here's some free but proven advice to help your marriage last. It's straight from God, the one ...
Written in Stone!
Centuries ago, God wrote His law in stone, and you're still supposed to keep it today! It's absolutely true that violating any part of God's law always brings negative consequences. As crime overruns our cities, doesn't it make sense that for peace and safety we need to obey the laws of the land? Well, this same principle applies with God's law - the Ten Commandments - in our own lives too!
The Lost Day of History
Did you know there is a very important day that almost everyone has forgotten about? It's astounding that only a few people are aware of it, because it's one of the most significant days in all of human history! It's not only a day in the past, but the present and future. Furthermore, what happened on this neglected day can have a profound effect on your life.
The Ultimate Deliverance
It's no fairytale - one day, you can be free from all the hurt, hunger, aloneness, crime, and chaos infecting the world today. Doesn't that sound wonderful? But it's not going to be some charismatic earthly leader who's going to deliver you... no, He's much more superior than that! Jesus is coming soon, but there is a lot of popular misconceptions regarding just how He's coming.
Purity and Power!
Are you tired of hurting your loved ones and wounding your conscience? Do you live in constant regret for your past mistakes? Have you ever wished you could take a bath and come out clean inside and out? Then we have great news for you... you can! God has a plan that can totally wash all your sins away and supercharge your character - preposterous?
Are the Dead Really Dead?
Death just might be one of the most misunderstood subjects today. To many it is enshrouded in mystery and evokes dreaded feelings of fear, uncertainty, and even hopelessness. Others believe that their deceased loved ones are not dead at all, but instead live with them or in other realms! Still others are confused about the relationship between the body, spirit, and soul.
Is the Devil In Charge of Hell?
Well? Does God really keep the devil on His payroll - is he the chief superintendent of hell measuring out the punishment of the lost? Nearly the entire world holds a very unbiblical view about hell, and you owe it to yourself to know what the Bible really says about it. Don't be fooled, because what you think about hell certainly affects what you think about God's character! Take a few moments ...
1000 Years of Peace
You can be certain that it's coming - an incredible millennium that will be ushered in after Christ's return. And the devil doesn't want you to know about his 1,000-year prison sentence because it reveals his true character. In fact, Satan has concocted a counterfeit message on the millennium to trick you! It's an awesome, fascinating study that will utterly shake everything you've ever known!
God's Free Health Plan
Great medical care is priceless - but wouldn't it be great if we didn't need doctors anymore? Did you know there is a proven way to put a lot of doctors out of work? Take care of your body! Scientists have sounded the ominus warnings about cholesterol, tobacco, stress, obesity, and alcohol, so why press your luck? Hospitals and psychiatric institutions are packed with people who have ignored the ...
Is Obedience Legalism?
People might feel like they can get away with violating a traffic law or cheating on their taxes, but God and His laws work much differently. God sees everything we do, hears everything we say, and He really does care about how we behave. While the Lord offers forgiveness for our sins, there still are deadly consequences for breaking God's law. Amazingly, some Christians say any attempt to obey...
Who is the Antichrist?
Who, or what, is the Antichrist? Evil alliance, or sinister individual? Some say his appearance is still in the future. Others say he appeared long ago in the days of ancient Rome. But the Bible indicates that he is alive today! The Bible prophecies teach this antichrist power will play a crucial role in the final events of earth's history. Do you know who he is? Are you sure? You need to be, ...
Angel Messages from Outer Space
Angels are real! Sometimes called cherubim or seraphim, these powerful ministering spirits appear all through Bible history. Often they are seen protecting and guiding God's people, and sometimes punishing evil - but one of their most important missions is to reveal and explain prophecy. Did you know God has said something special through His angels to the stressed out people of our hectic world...
God Drew the Plans
We all know that 4,000 years ago, on the grand summit of Mt. Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. But most people don't know that at the same time, the Lord gave Moses the blueprints for one of the most mysterious structures ever built - the sanctuary. It must have been important, because the Israelites could not enter the Promised Land until it was completed. This unique portable temple r...
Right on Time! Prophetic Appointments Revealed!
Fasten your seat belt! You're now going to explore the longest time prophecy in the Bible - a prophecy that perfectly predicted the first coming of Jesus and the time of His death. In Study Guide 16, "Angel Messages from Space," you learned that God has an extremely important message the world must hear before Christ's return! The first point commands people to worship God and glorify Him, because...
Case Closed
The jury is in, the verdict read ... case closed! Few thoughts could be more sobering. The day is fast approaching when every person who has ever lived will have their lives reviewed before the all-knowing eyes of God (2 Corinthians 5:10). But don't let this alarm you - take heart! Millions have already found the judgment message in this Study Guide to be very good news! On four occasions when the... - See more at: http://www.amazingfacts.org/bible-study/bible-study-guides.aspx#sthash.l26Wa9vd.dpufThe jury is in, the verdict read ... case closed!

The Mark of the Beast
A tattooed number, a computer chip under the skin, or something more subtle? It's one of the most misinterpreted prophecies in all of the Bible - yet it is so important to correctly understand this subject. But in studying the mark of the beast, we must address some very sensitive issues, naming names and being specific. This is not a popular thing today, but we must be firm because God loves Hi...
The USA in Bible Prophecy
Can it really be true? America in Bible prophecy - absolutely! When you think about it, it makes sense that the most powerful and influential nation on earth will play a vital role in the final stunning events of the world's closing history. But even more surprises await you as the Bible reveals how the leading nation of the world came to exist and why! Please read Revelation 13:11-18 before begi...
The Other WomanEvery marriage must rely on trust - and likewise in our union with Christ, we must remain faithful to Him and His Word. Revelation speaks about the true bride of Christ, but there is another woman who is trying to seduce believers away from God's Word. Revelation contains a shocking message about Babylon, the other woman. Babylon is fallen, and Christ's people must escape her charms or perish!
The Bride of Christ
The Bible says there is but one body, or church, into which Jesus calls His end-time people - the bride of Christ. To some, this is unnerving, as there are thousands of different churches today that call themselves Christian. Virtually every one claims to be God's church, yet they each differ widely in biblical interpretation, faith, and practice.
Does God Inspire Astrologers and Psychics?
If some self-proclaimed prophet suddenly arose and began drawing crowds with stirring messages, healing the sick, raising the dead, bringing fire from heaven, and revealing knowledge of your personal secrets - would you believe in him or her? Should you believe? Your ultimate destiny just might be tied to your ability to distinguish between true and false prophets.
In God We Trust?
Do you trust God... really? The truth is, a lot of people might say yes, but they don't act like it. And worse, because they don't trust Him, they might actually steal from Him! "Come on!" you say, "No one would steal or embezzle money from God." But God's shocking message to His people is, "Ye have robbed me" (Malachi 3:8). Real records prove that billions of people steal from God, and...
A Love that Transforms
Being in love changes everything. For instance, a young lady was reading a large book for her university's English literature course. She found the whole thing very boring and could barely stay focused when reading it. But then she met a striking young professor on campus, and they quickly fell in love. Soon after, she realized her beloved was the author of the book she had struggled with.
No Turning Back
When a skydiver steps to the edge of the aircraft door and leaps away from the plane, he knows there is no turning back. HE's gone too far, and if he should forget to strap on his parachute, nothing can save him and he will certainly plummet to a frightening death. What a tragedy! But there is something even worse that can happen to a person. Indeed, it is far worse to come to the point of no

The characters in the Pageant are played by staff of our four sponsoring credit unions.
The bands in the Pageant play on a rotation system and performance groups are selected each year to suit the Pageant's needs.
We are more than happy to receive enquiries from bands and performance groups with great ideas. Please send your performance group's contact information and a brief description of your ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If your idea suits our artistic directional needs, you may just be asked to participate!
To be a character in the Pageant you generally have to work at one of the sponsoring Credit Unions or be a friend or family member of someone who does.
Sometimes there are competitions to allow credit union members or the general public to get involved in the Pageant.
Keep an eye out for these chances and make sure to follow us on Facebook for updates on these opportunities. Good luck!
The Pageant starts at the corner of South Terrace and King William Street at 9.30am and winds its way through the streets of Adelaide, finishing at the landing stage on the corner of North Terrace and Kintore Avenue before delivering Father Christmas to the Magic Cave at David Jones at approximately 11.30am.
The Pageant is traditionally held on the second Saturday in November. If this day falls on Remembrance Day (11 November), the pageant is moved to the Saturday before or after, depending on the year. The 2018 Credit Union Christmas Pageant will be held on Saturday 10 November.

One day as Philip Haney was reading the Declaration of Independence to a group of people, he had a revelation. He came across the passage that asserts when a government becomes tyrannical and fails to secure the people's God-given rights, "it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Suddenly, Haney realized why the Obama administration had been so unwilling to prevent Islamic terrorists from entering the country. At the same time, he realized the motivation behind the vehement left-wing opposition to Donald Trump.
"It struck me like a bolt of lightning – that's the reason why they're doing it," Haney said in a recent interview with "The Hagmann Report." "They're seeking to alter or abolish the current form of government and replace it with one that they consider to be more suitable."
When pressed by the host, Haney clarified: "When I say 'alter or abolish,' it's called hope and change. It's called no walls, no borders. It's called 'resist.' It's called 'Not my president.' They don't see this administration that replaced the [previous] one, in their worldview, as a legitimate, acceptable form of government. They're seeking to alter it or abolish it.
"Look in the news every day: They're attacking, they're undermining, they're stalling, they're using procedures to prevent individuals from being put into their places in the administration. Every possible thing that they can do to hinder. Because they don't accept the outcome of the election, they are seeking essentially to alter or abolish the current structure and replace it with one that's more suitable, more diverse, more inclusive, no walls, no borders – except when it comes to sanctuary cities."
For six years, Obama administration officials had prevented Haney from doing his job, which was to compile information on individuals with ties to Islamic terrorist organizations so that such individuals could be kept out of the United States. It was an ordeal Haney described in his book, "See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad."
In 2009, officials ordered Haney to delete hundreds of records on Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations and individuals he had entered into Customs and Border Protection's internal database.
"That's exactly the moment when I came to a great crisis in my career, because I knew what I was being told to do was going to put our country in danger," Haney recalled.
Three years later, in 2012, members of the Obama State Department effectively shut down the National Targeting Center's Tablighi Jamaat initiative, which Haney had helped launch, by ordering that intelligence based on religious affiliation be disregarded on the basis of civil rights and civil liberties concerns.
The NTC had given Haney a letter of commendation for finding 300 terrorists affiliated with Tablighi Jamaat, and 1,200 law enforcement actions had been taken based on the Tablighi Jamaat initiative. What's more, a quarter of all Guantanamo Bay prisoners in 2012 were Tablighi Jamaat members, according to Haney.
And yet State Department officials showed up at the National Targeting Center in person to say they had concerns about the NTC's focus on Tablighi Jamaat because it was not a designated terrorist organization. Haney was appalled by that comment.
"What do you mean it's not a designated terrorist organization?" he asked during his "Hagmann Report" appearance. "How are you ever going to designate any group if you don't allow us to compile the information that will enable you to make an educated decision about whether this group poses a threat or not?"

Not only did the State Department shut down the initiative, it soon deleted all the records on Tablighi Jamaat Haney had entered into the database. Then his superiors launched an investigation against Haney for alleged "misuse" of the database.
In fact, Haney was investigated nine times by the administration he served. By the time the final three simultaneous investigations were under way, Haney had been professionally humiliated. His superiors took away his gun, cut off his access to all systems, revoked his secret clearance and sequestered him in a cubicle with no assigned job duties for 11 months while he awaited the results of the three investigations.
Fortunately, Haney survived his investigations without being handed a jail sentence.
"The reason I survived it is because I maintained my personal integrity. I never lied nor exaggerated, I always documented everything and I always followed the chain of command," he said.
Haney said current DHS Secretary John Kelly has made some good moves thus far, including bringing the Privacy Rights Act into alignment with existing law. Haney said it was the Privacy Rights Act that the Obama administration used to shut down his investigations into foreign terrorists. Kelly's directive has him feeling hopeful.
"To bring this policy back into alignment with existing law means that I was investigated illegally and also that the information was removed out of the system illegally," Haney declared.
The former DHS officer hopes to be re-deputized so he can get back into government and help the Trump administration "drain the swamp." He said the first thing he would advise is to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
"That would send a shockwave all over the Islamic pro-Shariah, pro-jihad, Salafi Islamic world without firing a single shot or dropping a single bomb," Haney declared. "Suddenly, America is serious about counter-terrorism. They have actually designated probably the most malevolent Muslim organization on the face of the Earth as a terrorist organization."
The second thing Haney said he would do is rescind former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson's unilateral February 2014 policy change allowing members of known terrorist groups to receive visas to enter the U.S.
Haney warned Hagmann's audience that terrorism is only a tactic in service of a larger strategy, so if the government fights a "war on terror," it is only fighting a war against a tactic. If it never identifies the objective terrorism is trying to achieve, its military and law enforcement efforts will never succeed.
"The global Islamic movement's strategy is very simple: implementation of Shariah law," he said. "What's complicated and kaleidoscopic about it are the tactics, and there are basically two sets of tactics: what I call saturation, like the water soaking into the sponge from underneath. That's the way the Muslim Brotherhood operates.
"But there's another tactic, and that is to put pressure on the sponge from above and force the water into the sponge faster. That's terrorism. But the whole point of saturating the sponge is to replace the constitutional government with Shariah. And the threat from the Islamic global movement in America is not so much that they will literally destroy the Constitution. It is that they will persuade enough people that the Constitution is not worth defending, and when we come to that tipping point, we will lose."
Haney emphasized American leaders must understand the true nature of the threat so they can deal with it before it's too late.
"If we don't find the wherewithal to address the nature of the threat we face realistically, courageously and honestly, we're going to find ourselves confronted with a dragon who will become capable of devouring us if we're not careful."

The Paleo-ketogenic Cookbook, by Dr Sarah Myhill
Dr Myhill's latest book arrived in the mail today! It's a Paleo-ketogenic cookbook called "The PK Cookbook – Go Paleo-Keto and get the best of both worlds". It's not yet been released publicly, the release date is set for 10 October 2017, but I managed to get a copy on early release and love what I've seen so far. Click the link above to pre-order your copy.
I've been so excited to get this book and have already skimmed through it today, highlighting and sticking post-it notes all over the place!
So far I like all the information I've seen, explanations about both the Paleo and the Keto ways of eating and why they would benefit us.
There are lots of charts, lists and scientific explanations sprinkled throughout the book as well as some jokes and quotes. Dr Myhill's personality comes through in her writing and makes her books fun to read. There are no coloured photographs or glossy pages, just the good stuff, the stuff that matters.
Of course if you have too much brain fog, you can just skip those technical chapters and go straight for the recipes and shopping lists. It's all been broken down into easy to follow instructions, right down to what words to use in your online search for the products used! Easy.
There is a section for those who have difficulty cooking or preparing meals. Weekly meal plans and shopping lists. Herb and spice pairing lists as well as green, amber and red food lists based on carb content to help you stay in ketosis easily.
There are recipes for starters, soups, salads, meat dishes and sides. There are even recipes on fermenting your own foods and making dairy alternatives!
The main focus is on keeping things simple and easy to handle. Dr Myhill knows her patients aren't the most active or energetic and this is reflected in the recipes and meal plans.
There's also some helpful info on supplements and clear explanations (and diagrams) about different types of fats and what makes some better than others.
There's just so much great info in this book, can't wait to read it all!
I highly recommend this book for anybody wishing to start out on a clean eating, paleo-ketogenic way of life. Specifically those with chronic illness, as Dr Myhill and co-author Craig Robinson have gone to great lengths to make this way of life accessible even to those of us who cannot cook.
