Life Marches (actually Febuarys) On
Today is a pretty important day; I've got a lot of stuff I need to get done before the deadly anti-holiday known as Inventory, which is a week from Sunday. Specifically, I've got to get 4 parts out of my parts inventory before they show up on the Inventory Sheet as losses, which they definitely are not. I'll spare you the details, but we have received credit for them already and just have to go through a paperwork hoop before Inventory happens. Plus, there's a bunch of other pressing crap that maybe I'll explain as the day goes by.
(I will add to this as the day goes along, so check back.)
8: – I arrive at work. It is raining outside, and the wind is blowing the blistering drops sideways and all up into my bizness. I would have been here at sharp, except for this fricking semi from
I walk freely through the store to the microwave in the break room and immediately start cooking the Papa John's pizza I brought with me for breakfast. In my mind, it's better to eat this sort of thing early in the day, so that I don't have trouble sleeping at night. Of course, in half an hour I'll probably feel uncomfortable and burpy, but I'm not worried about that right now.
I get into my L-shaped "office," the room where I spend most of my day, and I start typing this before doing any work. I promise that will be the last blog-referencing sentence in this post. Anyway, my day starts out like any other day: With me tearing the perforated sides off some paper. It's quiet. Nobody is around, especially the bosses, so I could do drugs in here and get away with it, if that was something I were prone to do. Hey, did you guys hear about that girl from Full House who married a cop and then got bored and developed a full-on meth addiction that she had to be intervened out of by John Stamos, Bob Saget, and the Olsen Twins? How wheels-off do you have to be to look bad to the Olsen Twins? Anyway, she's better now. And blaming her child stardom, but just a little. I wish I had the link.
8:35am -- I feel burpy, and I haven't even had my morning Dew yet. Oh, well, you know what they say: I burp, therefore I am. My existence has been proven by my internal discomfort.
– Just let the first technician of the day, Shawn, in the front door. Thanks to thumb stomach surgery, there's about half as much of Shawn as there was a year-and-a-half ago. He's not supposed to go in the front door for some unknown-to-me-but-loss-prevention-related reason, but I let him in anyway because of the well-known Shawn exemption (which he actually needed when he was 350lbs+, but still uses today. I don't blame him.) We're all supposed to stand at the extremely locked back door and pound on it in the morning, hoping that somebody is in the warehouse and hears it. Then, 5 seconds to 10 minutes later, the door opens. It's a great, employee-friendly, and well-thought-out process, especially when it's raining, as it is this morning.
I hate rain. Drought my behind -- more like deluge, if you ask me. This is the third rainfall we've had here in
8:57am -- Donald Trump talks like an autistic child who want his toys back. Why would anyone spend $500 to see him speak for an hour? 10 seconds, and I'm burying my head in my hands and cry/laughing.
9:14am -- Got my first guilt trip of the day. It's apparently "Wear Red Day for Women," so some chick just handed me a red sticker to wear. Hey, I love women as much as the next guy, but my first thought was, "What about men?" Heart disease is the #1 killer of men, too...why does everything have to be so segregated? Oh, yeah, I forgot, Feminism is dead. Ok, I'll wear this crushingly gay red dress sticker on my pocket, just for the ladies out there. I'm with you gals.But seriously, let's all fight heart disease by eating less grease, lard, and trans fat, whatever that is. And wear red.
9:20am -- Just heard this page over the store's loudspeaker: "There's a person at the front door it looks like an employee I don't know what an employee's doing at the front door when they're supposed to be in back..." See?
9:48am -- It's been a pretty momentous few minutes. First of all, I had a bowel movement. Second of all, I got my check. Considering that I'm in the job for the money, this is the most important job-related moment in any give two-week period. Looking at my check, I see it's the same as usual. I thought for sure I had some incentive money coming. Looks like I was misled yet again by the people above me. I really need a new job.As I was walking back to my room, I spotted a cart by the front door with a bunch of magazines inside. They're free motherboard magazines, with form factors and diagrams and everything!
This is exciting to me, shut up. They also had a meeting that thankfully I was in the bathroom during. The meetings are all the same -- blah blah protection plans blah blah attachment dollars blah blah sell vonage blah blah a bunch of stuff that doesn't apply to me in the service department.
Oh, and they just e-mailed me the color of dots we're using for inventory. It's NEON YELLOW! Woo-hoo!
10:30am -- One of the techs appears to have called in sick, since he's not here. Oh, wait, there's a controversy, and I just heard the HR manager say, "You expect me to have all the answers?" Of course, he was smiling when he said it, so no biggie. The tech appears to have switched today for tomorrow, and whomever knew that failed to tell anybody about the switch. Hence, the controversy. Anyway, that leaves us with two techs for the day, and only one this morning. The phone is ringing constantly. At least there seem to be about 30 CSR's around to help out with stuff.
Explanation: The techs work on the computers, the CSR's work at the front counter and check computers in, do returns, cash out will calls, etc. I just sit back here and put out fires all day. That's my job. For example, I just put out a fire for a CSR girl by keeping great paperwork.
What I really want to accomplish this morning is getting my check from Papa Johns, which means getting in my car and making a 15-minute round trip. Can I do it? Can Bob the Builder build stuff? Yes he can! Ok..."Operation: Check Get" is in effect.
11:15am -- O: CG is an unqualified success. The loaf is in the breadbasket, if you know what I mean. There will be a similar operation this afternoon, involving the deposit of both of my checks into the bank. I'll be sure to keep you abreast of that.
While I was on my little Operation, a smartly dressed 40ish lady looked at me (I knew then that something was wrong -- smartly dressed 40ish ladies never make eye contact with me) and said, "Red dress -- alright..." She was congratulating me on the "Wear Red for Women" sticker I was proudly displaying on my chest. Then she scolded herself for not wearing any red. With this sticker, I am now a powerful force for guilt in the universe. If you see me, I will make you feel bad about yourself.
12:15pm -- The morning has been very productive for me. I put out a lot of fires. In about 15 minutes, I will go to lunch, because I am, as Brad Malm would say, an "eator." This has been a good day, because just about everything that I needed to receive today actually got here. I sincerely hope this afternoon is just as good.
1:30pm -- Overheard at the bank, woman talking to female teller:
"You aren't wearing red?"
"Um...no," (question mark materializes over head)
"Oh, it's just that it's Heart Health Day."
"Oh, I didn't know that."
Some advance word on these things would be nice. Just ask Juneteenth Day or Arbor Day.
1:45pm -- Bosses are here, time to "straighten up and fly right" as my dad would say. You know, some would say that the measure of a man is what he does when nobody's looking. I totally agree with that, but I still have the motivation of keeping The Man off my back. Friday afternoon is my traditional time to clean stuff up around here --sorting and filing papers, getting unnecessary things out of my room so they can miraculously reappear over the weekend, resolving annoying issues so I don't have to dread coming in on Monday, etc. I'm going to process acouple of parts we just received, and then go to Operation: Sort. I'll let you know how it goes.
2:50pm -- Operation: Sort is still in effect. I hope you're wearing red.
3:05pm -- Operation: Sort has to be put on hold for a pressing issue. Basically, a tech was supposed to order a motherboard but instead ordered a power supply. That tech isn't here today, so now I have to clean it up, because my supervisor doesn't "have time." Do I have time? Probably, since I'm currently typing this non-work-related blog post. Oh, dang...I wasn't going to self-reference.
Anyway, put out fires. That's what I do.
3:52pm -- The week, and National Women's Heart Health Day, is winding down in a big way. I suppose I should mention that there was an in-store birthday today, for which cookies were provided. They weren't home-made, but still, a free cookie day is a good day. Later on, I'm going to start Operation: See if there are any Cookies Left.
This is also my tradional time to get out the ol' "outstanding issues" folder and see what bags of flaming crap I can get off my porch before the weekend starts. Let's take a gander, shall we?
Issue 1: There's an Apple G5 restore CD that I had to use some creative means to get here for a customer, since the customer didn't want to call Apple herself. It came in sometime this week, and even though my name was promiently displayed on the label's "to:" section, it never got to me. Resolution: Sales Manager needs to get this thing off my hands. Where is he?
Issue 2: We need a part number for a certain computer board, specifically the infared board that enables the remote control to work (it's a Media Center PC). The part number lady is off today, so we have not received it yet. Resolution: Wait until Monday, then pester her.
Issue 3: There are 4 parts that are in my inventory that I haven't had a chance to adjust out as of yet (there was a big sale. It's also been very busy. Plus, I'm dreading having to walk my supervisor through the process. Plus, when we send them through Home Office will whine because it's been so long.), and it needs to be done by next Wednesday. Resolution: Get adjustments together today, walk supervisor through it on Monday. I'd better make sure he's here that day. Yep.
Issue 4: Order a power cord for a Proview monitor. For this, I need a Manager who's willing to use his credit card and be reimbursed the 50 bucks. Resolution: Put on back burner for now. Nobody cares.
So, that's pretty much my day. If something crazy happens in the last hour, I'll let you know.
If not, thanks for reading and eat less trans fat.

'I wanted to know what our future looked like'
It can be difficult to start a conversation about passing the family farm onto the next generation, but if the talks are held in the right way it can provide security for everyone.
For Milly and Andrew Fyfe, their desire to put down roots and plan for a family led them to start discussions about the future of the family's beef, sheep and arable farm.
"There was always an assumption that one day Andrew would take full responsibility of the farm and we would live at the main farmhouse," says Milly, who is business development manager at the UK Leather Federation but helps out on the farm at busy times.
"However, there was never any discussion about when that would be."
Attending the Worshipful Company of Farmers Challenge in Leadership course got Milly thinking about the future of the business and gave her the impetus to start talking about the family's plans more seriously.
"I wanted to know what our future was going to look like, and where we should be investing our time and money into creating a family home," she says.
The discussions involved deciding that the couple should move into the main farmhouse, putting them in a better position to take a more hands-on approach to managing the farm.
And while the long-term considerations around the structure of the business and its finances are still being discussed, for the moment the couple feel more confident about their role on the farm.
"The here and now we have ironed out," she says. "We are making decisions, replenishing livestock and machinery, and putting a long-term plan in place. We're getting there, but it's a continual process that we need to keep reviewing.
"You hear of so many families falling out over succession, and the only person who benefits is the solicitor," she adds. "By being open to conversation, everyone knows what the options are and what we need to do to capitalise on any opportunities."

The word desire is a tricky one. For many, it will automatically bring up thoughts of a more intimate nature. Where we think of desiring someone…but, it is so much more than that! Living with desire can be tricky if we do not know how to handle it.
Desire: a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.
We all have desires…for some, it is a desire to find that perfect mate. For others, it is a better job. For still others, they have desires for success and fame.
What are your desires?
Did you know that God created us to have desires? He has perfectly formed each and every one of us and fashioned us in such a way that our strengths, abilities, passions and desires will be able to serve Him and others perfectly. Without desires, we would not have the drive to move forward. We would get really comfortable sitting where we are.
As I shared in Living in the Wait when we learn to delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart (Psalm 37:4). So, now that we have our delight fixed on Jesus…here comes the part where the desires start to be made real in our lives.
Questions is…do we even know what the desires of our hearts really are?
A long time ago, after many bad relationships and broken dreams, I wrote down a quick little note of things I wanted in a man. I threw it in a drawer and totally forgot about it. Years later, I had started following Jesus and prayed that He would lead me to the right man…but, I told Him that I did not want to date anymore. I was fed up with the whole thing.
And He honored that.
The well full of men that seemed to never empty dried up and I was left wondering if I had really meant what I prayed. Oh, but He is faithful! It was during those two years when I had not a single man look in my direction that I found my place in the heart of God. He nurtured me and molded me and taught me who I was in Him. He strengthened my resolve to follow Him first, even when it was so uncomfortable In The Wait.
At the end of that two years, I was given the top list desire that God knew I had. A Godly partner to walk through this life with. He had perfectly fashioned him just for me and because we had both been found faithful In The Wait, we were given to each other for marriage without ever going on a single date.
As we began the process of cleaning out and joining our homes together I stumbled across that notebook and that little list of qualities that I had asked for in a man…you know what? My husband had each one of them. God knew the desires of my heart and He gave them to me when it was the perfect time.
I can promise you this…He will not set you up. If my husband had come along 3 years earlier, 5 years earlier, 10 years earlier…it would NEVER have worked. A lot had to happen to he and I both before we were ready for our commitment to God and then each other. My desires were there, yet God knew exactly when to fulfill them and how to fulfill them.
So, as you examine the desires that are driving you today…do you have some that may need to be handed over to the Lord for Him to hold onto? Are you ready for them to be fulfilled at this moment, or is it possible that He sees things that need to be worked out first?
Trust in His timing…you will never be sorry you did. He created your heart. He created your desires. Give them back to Him and He will do something so amazing with them that you will just stand in awe of it all.
I do every day.

Name day of Constantine on the Orthodox calendar
Baptism in the Orthodox Church implies, among other things, the rite of naming. The name is chosen from the proposed list, which is called "the saints", and is given to a person in honor of one or another saint who from the moment of baptism will be considered his heavenly patron. And the day of the church's memory of this saint will henceforth become a holiday for the name-day. In this article, we'll talk about those days, which may fall on the name day of Constantine on the church calendar.
15 June. The Martyr Constantine
This man came from the family of Muslim Turks. As a young man, he fell ill with smallpox and was already preparing for death. However, a certain Christian woman took the boy and carried him to an Orthodox church where she bathed his body with holy water. Immediately the young man recovered and returned home perfectly well. When this happened, he decided to accept Christianity, for which he went to Mount Athos, where he was baptized in one of the monasteries. When he told his compatriots about this, they betrayed his death as an apostate. It happened in 1819. On the day of the death of a young man his church memory is committed, and accordingly, the day of the angel of Constantine is celebrated.
18 June. St. Constantine, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Russia
The saint Constantine was from the family of the Greeks. In 1155, the Patriarch of Constantinople ordained him to the episcopal order to take the metropolitan chair in Kiev. Two years later, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky died, after which the confrontation began. In the course of this struggle, Metropolitan Constantine was removed from the occupied department, and he retired to Chernigov, where he was received by Bishop Anthony. Having lived there for two years, St. Constantine died. His memory and the name day of Constantine are celebrated on June 18.
11th August. Sainted Constantine, Patriarch of Constantinople
The future patriarch in his youth received an excellent education in Constantinople, where he then made a brilliant career at the court of the emperor. However, in 1050 he fell into disgrace and by the order of Emperor Constantine Monomakh loses all the regalia and is sent from the capital. As a result, he retires to the monastery and takes tonsure, and a few years later he returns to the capital as an hegumen of one of the monasteries. In 1959, he was elected to the liberated patriarchal throne, which he occupies until his death in 1063. In the Orthodox Church he is regarded as a saint. According to the new style, his memory is celebrated on August 11. Together with her celebrate the name-day of Constantine.
3 June. Equal-to-the-Apostles Emperor Constantine
This emperor of the Roman Empire put an end to the persecution of Christians in the empire and, moreover, proclaimed Christianity as the state religion. He was born in 280 in Haiss, which is located in the territory of modern Serbia. His father was a military leader. His future head of the empire spent his youth at the court of Emperor Diocletian in Nicomedia. When the young man was 25 years old, the emperor denied his throne, as a result of which the father of Constantine became ruler of the western part of the empire. A year later he died and Constantine ascended the throne. By 312 he had won a decisive victory over his political rivals and established his authority in the western part of the empire. By his authority, he legalized until then the forbidden and oppressed Christian teaching and encouraged its dissemination. In 324, Constantine defeated the emperor of the eastern part of the Empire Licinius and became the sole ruler. In 337, he contracted pneumonia and went to Nicomedia, where he died on May 22 of the same year. On this day, according to the church calendar, his memory is celebrated, as well as the day of the angel of Constantine. The date of celebration in the civil calendar falls on 3 June.
January 8. The Monk Constantine of Sinian (Phrygian)
This saint came from a Jewish family who lived in the city of Sinada. In Christianity, he passed in his youth, leaving his father's house in a monastery, where he was baptized, and then monasticism. The Church honors him as a saint, celebrating annually the memory of January 8. On this day celebrate the birthday of Constantine baptized men in his honor.
3 June. Murom Prince Konstantin
The prince was born in the seventies of the 11th century in the family of the Grand Duke of Kiev, Yaroslav Svyatoslavich. In 1097 he was granted the Chernigov princedom. In addition, by coincidence, he had to reign in Murom and Ryazan. In 1110, Constantine lost the Chernigov throne, which was occupied by his nephew Vsevolod Olegovich. Therefore, he retired to Murom, where he lived until his death in 1129. The church is revered as one of the holy Russian princes. The day of his memory and the name day of Constantine are celebrated on June 3 in the civil calendar.

Georgia is striving for a fight again?19.03.2013 | 20:19
The peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan is not over yet, and Georgia is going to send its servicemen into another country raging from armed uprisings - Mali. This was announced by Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Alasania in Brussels. This is about the sending of military experts to this African country. What is planning the Prime Minister of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili, and what is the future of Georgia's participation in such international operations?
Georgian soldiers have not left Afghanistan, where the international mission "Aysaf" completes in 2014, and the Georgian government is already striving for another hot spot, even more remote from Georgia - Mali. This is North African country, where civil strife has been lasting for many years. Mali is undergoing several conflicts simultaneously. The most difficult situation is in the north, where the Islamist groups are acting, and Tuareg tribal uprising have happened there several times. Since January 2013, troops from several African countries and France are helping Malian army to suppress the rebellion of Tuareg, who are supported by the Islamist groups.
The Foreign Ministers of the EU member states have decided to send 450 trainers and other servicemen to train soldiers of Malian army. "We want the African armed forces to be able to fulfill its mission to stabilize the situation in the north of Mali", said the German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. According to the decision of the federal government, Bundeswehr soldiers will participate in the EU mission.
According to European diplomats, one of the priorities of the experts arriving in Mali will include a series of consultations. Direct training of Malian troops is to begin in April. As noted by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy for the European Union Catherine Ashton, the EU mission in Mali is "very important" for the country.
Ivanishvili's Cabinet has received from Ashton an invitation to participate in the operation in late last year, but until recently it was kept in secret. "Now we are specifying the detail of Georgian involvement in the operation", Defense Minister Irakli Alasania said in Brussels. "After accepting an invitation from the EU leadership, we have considered it and decided that Georgia was willing to participate in the operation. This is part of its interests and promotes further integration into the European structures", Alasania said speaking at the Brussels Forum.
Some of the details of the operation have become known. As stated by the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Security Irakli Sesiashvili in an exclusive interview with GeorgiaTimes, this is about sending Georgian military experts to Mali. "Initially, two instructors, one of whom is sapper, will depart there", said Sesiashvili. "It is not about the participation of Georgian soldiers in combat operations. Nevertheless, for our country, this fact is of great importance. Firstly, this is the recognition of Georgia as a partner in the EU mission; and secondly, this is the recognition of the fact that Georgia has higher-level military experts, who are capable to participate in such operations. We'll select several candidates, conduct a certain test, and only after that Georgian specialists will depart to Mali. Dates are yet to be announced, but the political decision gas been made. We're already clarifying technical details", Sesiashvili said in an interview to GeorgiaTimes.
But we can look at the events from the other side. Information on Georgia's intention to participate in the operation in Mali became public at the moment of a kind of wrangle between the MPs and Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili. Deputies from the European People's Party even called on the Georgian Prime Minister "not to bury the European future of the country". Perhaps Ivanishvili wants to vindicate himself in the eyes of the European public and to remove all the questions about the foreign policy of Georgia. Coincidences in politics are not often.
Some analysts also point out that Ivanishvili's foreign policy is focused not on Russia or the U.S., but rather on the European Union. Considering the fact that the billionaire has long lived in France and has a serious business, these assumptions have a basis.
As for the future of Georgia as a country sending its soldiers to hot spots, among experts there is no single position. "I do not think that the operation in Mali will be similar in scale or duration as the Afghan, despite the complexity of the situation there", political expert Georgi Khutsishvili said in an interview with GeorgiaTimes. "As for Georgia's future in such operations, I do not think we should actively participate in international military operations and send our troops overseas on the first call. But in Mali our military will not directly participate in hostilities. On the other hand, this is a sign of solidarity with the EU. Moreover, thus the government shows that our country's focus on integration into NATO and the European Union remains unchanged", said Khutsishvili.
Until now, the Georgian military have participated in peacekeeping operations in Kosovo and Iraq. Currently, 1,675 Georgian soldiers and officers are on duty in Afghanistan. Ivanishvili's government has stated they would not withdraw troops from the country, but also would not strengthen the grouping as the Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili was going to do.

Connect with nature for wellbeing
How do you connect with nature? And how does it make you feel?
A Buller group organising an event from 10 – 16 October to support wellbeing for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) is looking for input from locals.
Buller MHAW coordinator Ade Holland says she would love locals to send her their ideas, to be used as part of a display in the Westport Clocktower Building on Wednesday 12 October.
"We know there's all sorts of ways people Connect with Nature – gardening, fishing, tramping, star-gazing, swimming, walking on the beach or in the bush, even just being outdoors. We want people to send us 20 words on how they Connect with Nature, and also tell us how it makes them feel. We're going to print these and put them around the walls in the venue for this year's Buller MHAW event," Ade says.
The organisers are looking for local groups and individuals who might want to be involved on the day, participating in activities or perhaps offering demonstrations or teaching something to do with the theme.
"We've got a few things sorted already, but the more the merrier. Groups can just contact me at Buller Health, (03) 788-9234, or email if they want to be part of the day. And anyone can send me their 20 words on how they Connect with Nature, plus how it makes them feel. They can either put their name to it, or be anonymous. We're hoping people who drop in during the day will be inspired by reading about how others Connect with Nature."

I came into teaching later than most having had a career as a criminal solicitor for 14 years. It was the birth of my youngest child, Alfie that made me reassess my life. He was born with a fused skull that required major surgery at Birmingham Children's Hospital and will remain under their care until he is 10 years old. He is now a thriving 4 year old loving school life in EYFS. My other two children also go to Oakmeadow. It was Ellie's determination to do something to say thank you to Birmingham Children's Hospital that inspired me to have may head shaved to support her fundraising (hence the 'dodgey do' in my photo!)
I am often asked if I have any regrets about my career change, and I can honestly say no. It is a privilege to come to work with children who are all wonderful and inspiring in their own unique way. Working in Year 1 gives me the opportunity to watch the children blossom from the play based curriculum to little learners with an amazing capacity for progress. It is their passion for learning that makes me constantly strive to improve my own teaching.
The unrelenting support and consistency that Mrs Patterson gives us is invaluable and together we work to make a happy, exciting and inspiring learning environment for our children of whom we are immensely proud.

Woman awarded nearly $750K for retaliatory firing
KEOKUK, Iowa (AP) -- A judge has awarded nearly $750,000 in damages to a woman who reported what she thought was abuse of a student at a Keokuk boarding school for troubled youths.
The Hawk Eye reports that the award was announced Monday for 22-year-old Cheyenne Jerred. She filed her whistleblower lawsuit against Midwest Academy in December 2015, saying she'd been fired because she'd reported the incident to the Iowa Human Resources Department.
Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies subsequently executed search warrants at two Midwest Academy locations in Lee County. The academy closed shortly afterward.
Associated Press attempts to reach academy owner and director Ben Trane to comment Tuesday were unsuccessful. An attorney listed for him in online court records didn't immediately return a message.

WASHINGTON, DC – With prices at the pump on the rise, Republican leaders and Tea Party loyalists are pointing the finger at President Obama, claiming the he hasn't done enough to get the oil market under the firm control of the US government.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) stated, "President Obama clearly has a socialist agenda in leaving the price of gasoline at the pump up to the market while underhandedly promoting competition from green, communistic sources like the sun. It's like he worships a Marxist Apollo or something."
A few miles from the Capital in Arlington, VA, Tea Party supporter Matt Leach agrees, "Oh, we know Obama is a Marxist-socialist from Kenya; that's why he's letting market forces—like supply, demand, and the interests of speculators—dictate the price at the pump; he's trying to be like some commie Grand Poobah something."
Leach, who works at a government-funded hospital in the DC suburb of Bethesda, MD, says the twenty-mile drive from his driveway to work along I-495 is really starting to dig into his travel budget.
"Some dumb tree-hugging lib's tried to tell me I shouldn't drive a Hummer," Leach said, "but I need it for groceries and stuff. Plus, it's awesome for taking long road trips back and forth between here and Swifity's in Columbus, OH—they have best bacon and mayo' sandwiches on the planet.
"I have to cut back on trips to Columbus now, though," Leach continued, "since that commie won't control gas prices—I blame it all on Obama. He's trying to hurt small businesses by promoting competition in the energy sector instead of just taking control of the market and forcing gas prices to go down like Reagan would have."
Back at the House of Representatives, Cantor explained, "as Tea Party Republicans we believe in the free market, and that's why we know we can't afford not to hold Obama accountable for his reckless lack of control of fuel prices."

When people explain to you who they are, believe them
Often times we get excited regarding the view of somebody that was interested in us, even to the point where we start on to overlook red flags or see them for who we want them to be, rather than who they really are. If you are getting the feeling that someone isn't involved, acquire it at face value and go on.
Take liability for your own past
The only means that we can raise as individuals and bring greater happiness to our next relationship and partner, is to know our own shortcomings, be truthful with ourselves, and work on them. But being honest concerning the reasons is the initial step to not repeating our past.
Don't lead people on
I have repeatedly heard the grievance from people regarding how they are getting a great vibe from someone they are seeing, and after a date, or two, or three – there is total silence. The solution is easy: Be up front and truthful about what you want from the start and much heartache will be avoided.
Understand what lies beneath the surface
While of course, physical attraction is of immense significance when it comes to structure a relationship, it is not what is going to hold two people jointly over an extended period of time. In the long run, there are many different things more important than beauty, but we will have no chance at building burly relationships if we don't realize that.
Stop trying to modify yourself to be with someone
We are so frequently trying to be who we think someone else wants us to be, that we forget who we really are. Stay sturdy, stay optimistic and most of all – stay true to yourself.
Proceed on what you want to do rather than what you imagine you 'should do'
If you feel an equally strong connection with someone and want to act on it bodily, then do it. Don't worry about how many dates you are 'supposed to' wait or what someone else might feel. Ultimately we all realize that life is far too short to take part in games.
Let numbers stay numbers
If you are not married by 25, 30, or 35, it actually doesn't matter and there is no reason to feel culpable about it. What will really make you feel worse is if you rush into things prior to you are ready as you think you are trying to beat a limit for life's accomplishments. Go at your own pace, you will uncover much more pleasure and execution that way.
Offer respect in order to get it
How people disregard each other and then get provoked when they don't get what they want. Human beings really aren't that bad – if you treat them with esteem and kindness, the vast mass of them will give you the same in return. And if they don't, why would you crave someone like that in your life anyway?
If you don't desire to get caught, don't do something to get caught for
Operate under the statement that whatever you do or say online could perhaps come back to bite you. This isn't a scare tactic; it is just the realism that your inept comments on photos or forward messages to someone else, while you are in a relationship, are eternal on the interwebs and could easily telegraph your disloyalty.
Communicate openly and value each other over the peanut gallery
Open and truthful communication inside of a relationship will act as a soundproof room to all of the outer noises the world can throw at us. Do not make statements, do not snoop around, do not consider unsubstantiated claims – there are simply two people concerned in your relationship, and those are the two who subject most.
If you are only, you do not have to fall into the outline that society has set for you. You can go beside the grain and date in a way that will lead to a pleased, fulfilling and long-lasting relationship. Do not become fixed in the dating confusion of this world. Recall true values and begin the right foundation for your next relationship by learning to date and the court correctly!
Hope you all liked our post 10 Dating Rules for Modern Relationships that keeps your relation fresh and lasting. Share your views regarding this through your comments.

And actually Hawaii is even more than all of that. Each one of Hawaii's islands is unique. If you've seen one, you certainly have not seen them all.
Kauai, the most northern island in Hawaii's chain, is distinctive for its extraordinary natural beauty. The lush tropical vegetation has earned Kauai the nickname "The Garden Island." Kauai highlights include stunning Wiamea Canyon, known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."
Oahu is the home to Hawaii's state capital, Honolulu, and the largest portion of Hawaii's population. Here dad can visit Dole's pineapple fields, watch world-class surfing with the giant waves of the North Shore, and take an exciting outrigger canoe ride (see photo). In downtown Honolulu he can even enjoy cultural activities such as art museums, symphony concerts, and theater.
Maui, the second largest island, is the "windsurfing capitol of the world." And its most iconic activity is watching a spectacular sunrise from the top of the Haleakala crater, as did Mark Twain who said of his experience,"It's the most sublime thing I ever saw." On Maui dad can also hang-glide, take a glider ride, or even clamber through the caves of a real lava tube.
Hawaii's Big Island is larger than all of the other islands combined, and is vast enough that it amazingly holds 11 of the world's 13 climatic zones. Here dad can see everything from cattle ranches to active volcanoes, from coffee plantations to mango groves. He can bask on sandy beaches or hike above the timberline on snow-capped mountains.
Hawaii offers something for every kind of dad, all amidst tropical beauty and friendly people. The entire family can hula dance, make flower leis, prepare fresh mahi mahi, snack on succulent papaya, and eat shave ice.
As you can see, like a delicious smorgasbord Hawaii offers a wonderful variety for every taste. And if your family travels on a budget, the secret to an affordable Hawaiian vacation is - a timeshare rental.
For example, timeshare rentals on Oahu are currently starting at just $99/night, right in the heart of Waikiki.
So if dad is dreaming of going to Hawaii but you think the family can't afford it – think again, and check out Hawaii timeshare rentals for a once in a lifetime Father's Day gift.

Landscape Evolution at Wanuskewin Heritage Park, Saskatoon Saskatchewan.
Burt, Abigail Keren
Degree LevelMasters
Regional deglaciation of the study site (520 13' N, 1060 35' W) and drainage of glacial Lake Saskatchewan occurred by ca. 10.5 ka BP. Channelisation of flow into the South Saskatchewan River and a gradual drop in base level caused small tributary stream valleys, such as the Opimihaw Creek valley, to be incised through surficial sediments and underlying till formations. Large stream discharges associated with a cool, moist postglacial climate contributed to the erosion of the landscape. The following physiographic elements were observed in the study area: the till plain; alluvial terraces; mass movement landforms; the modem stream channel. The alluvial terraces located in the valley bottom are the focus of this study. Prior to ca. 4.6 ka BP, a combination of a rise in base level and gradual climate change led to the crossing of a geomorphic threshold, shifting the stream from an incising to an aggrading system. Slope wash resulting from a reduction in vegetation cover, combined with variable precipitation and stream discharge, led to initial rapid channel aggradation. Sedimentation rates gradually declined as the environment became increasingly moist leading to a more constant stream discharge, a denser vegetation cover and reduced slope wash. Excavations at several valley bottom alluvial terraces reveal five sedimentary facies: facies 1, vertical accretion sediments; facies 2, proximal channel sediments; facies 3, alluvium and/or colluvium; facies 4, fluvial sands; facies 5, channel gravels. The generally fining upwards sequence from coarse-grain fluvial channel deposits (facies 3 - 5) to finer-grained proximal channel and vertical accretion sediments (facies 1 and 2) records the migration of the stream channel across its floodplain throughout the aggradation phase. Repeated pedogenesis and human occupation indicate periodic subaerial exposure of the floodplain. Downstream sites are generally dominated by finergrained facies and are characterised by more rapid sedimentation rates than upstream sites. Within the last ca O. 1 to 0.2 ka BP, a geomorphic threshold was crossed and the stream incised its floodplain. The proximity of the South Saskatchewan river to alluvial terraces at the mouth of the creek indicates the creek was likely responding to a drop in base level. Currently, there is very little flow in the creek, due in part to several beaver dams along its length.

She attended Brookwood High School, where she distinguished herself as a member of the Math Honors Society and contributor to a regional science fair. Upon graduating in 2010 with a 3.97 GPA, Needa attended Georgia Tech and earned a B.S. Degree in biomedical engineering. Needa graduated with highest honors, maintaining a 3.56 GPA, and worked as a research assistant in an engineering lab. Her future looked exceedingly promising as she made plans to pursue a doctoral degree at Georgia Tech under the supervision of a professor who had offered her a position in her chosen program.
At the time, little did she know she would be prevented from pursuing her dreams. Earlier this year, the admissions office at Georgia Tech informed her that because of Board of Regents Policy 4.1.6, banning undocumented students from attending selective schools, she cannot enroll, despite the fact that Needa was granted deferred action by the federal government last year.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services has confirmed that individuals who are granted deferred action, including grantees of the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), are authorized to be present in the United States. Despite this, the Board of Regents has thus far refused to allow DACA grantees admission to selective schools or in-state tuition.
Needa will now have to leave the state she considers home. The Board of Regents policy drove her to search for educational opportunities elsewhere and she just accepted an admission offer at the University of Oklahoma.
Needa is not alone. Since the implementation of the Board of Regents' ban, several highly gifted students have left for other states from Mississippi to Washington.
This policy has gravely harmed Georgia by depriving its outstanding institutions of higher learning of the vibrancy and contributions of some of Georgia's most promising youth.
Georgia in fact stands alone among all states in not allowing young immigrants granted deferred action under DACA admission to selective universities. And an increasing number of states are now allowing DACA grantees in-state tuition.
At a rally in front of the State Capitol last week, Raymond Partolan, President of the Student Government Association of Mercer University who came to the US at age 1, described his state of despair in high school: "I was at the bottom of a very deep and dark well...I the salutatorian of our high school could quite possibly not be able to go to college...I felt I had so much potential but the prospect of college was bleak. That fall I tried to kill myself."
Thankfully Raymond survived and is now one of the leaders in the student movement for equal access to higher education.
Raymond, Needa, and other students like them are children of Georgia. They have so much to contribute to our communities. Rather than erecting barriers, the state should support these exemplary young people and open the way for them to fulfill their potential.

I took the photos here this morning on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, Md. at St. Mark Presbyterian Church. The congregation at St. Mark has decided to bear witness to the local impact of gun violence. Each of the 176 shirts on the church's lawn represents one of the people killed by firearms in the Washington area in 2013. I guess it's a testament to the times we live in that the church's gesture seems admirable but quixotic.
When I got home from making the picture and turned on my computer, there was yet another story about a mass shooting in America, this one at a Fed Ex facility in Georgia. You can read about it here. Six people wounded, three critically; the gunman then shot himself. One might think, if one had just returned from an extended vacation on another planet, that this sort of event would prompt Americans to consider whether guns are too easy to obtain. But as experience repeatedly has told us, one would be wrong.
Indeed, the opposite seems to be the case. The more people die from gun violence, the more the NRA and its legislative allies make it easier to get guns and use them. Ten of the t-shirts in the church yard on Old Georgetown Road represent people killed by a shooter at the Washington Navy Yard last summer. He bought his gun at a Virginia gun store a few days before the shooting, despite a history of mental illness and run-ins with the law. The Virginia legislature's response this year was not to tighten up gun sale rules, but to pass legislation backed by the NRA making it easier to carry a gun in your car legally. Georgia's legislature last week passed a law extending the right of gun owners to carry concealed weapons into bars, city halls, even churches. I am sure that the legislators who voted for that law will insist that if only more people had been packing at Fed Ex today, the carnage would have been lower. That's what they said after Sandy Hook. Let's arm the teachers!
One reason the NRA types have their way, I suspect, is that they care viscerally about guns, while most people don't care that much about the deaths inflicted by guns. The t-shirts on the lawn at St. Mark's mostly have a name, an age, and a date of death. But some are marked simply "Unidentified Male," presumably because no one has yet cared enough to identify a body. Unless people know a victim personally, it's easy to shrug and dismiss these deaths. Just a few ghetto gangbangers blowing each other's heads off before the cops have to do it, we think. Or just another loser who shot herself and relieved society of a burden. We've become numb to the spectacle of mass carnage. The people at St. Mark would like to think we have a better nature, and we really do believe in human brotherhood. I wish I could think they're right.
But it seems to me that Americans instead are governed more than ever by atavistic emotion. The New York Times yesterday had a piece about Dan Kane, an investigative reporter at the News & Observer in Raleigh who has been uncovering scandalous activity in the athletics program at the University of North Carolina. That same hypothetical visitor recently returned from another planet who thought mass shootings might lead to gun control might think Kane would receive some public approbation for his work.
Wrong again. Kane is being pilloried. One kind soul wished him a lingering death from bone cancer. What kind of person would say that? A person who has become completely unmoored from rational thought. A person whose life is hollow enough that he cares passionately and perhaps exclusively about whether a squad of jocks wearing light blue shirts beats a squad wearing different colored shirts. A person whose response to anything he perceives as negative about those light blue shirts is snarling and hateful. A person who lives in a world of us versus them, unchanged from the times when human beings displaced Neanderthals.
Consider, for a moment, the fact that each year, about 30,000 Americans die from gunshot wounds. That's more than ten times the number of people who died on September 11, 2001. Americans after 9/11 willingly gave up a lot of personal freedom to laws that will, supposedly, prevent terrorists from attacking again. Those laws were easy to pass, because on the visceral level, they seemed to be directed at a target the atavistic among us could readily despise--those Muslim foreigners. Us versus them. But when it comes to gun violence, the atavistic response is to resist any measure to control guns. We get Charlton Heston vowing that the government will have to take his guns "from my cold, dead hands."
The folks at St. Mark are not, by the way, asking to take away anyone's gun. The flyer they're distributing on the church grounds says they're pushing for action to end straw purchasing, which they define as someone buying a gun for the purpose of re-selling it to someone who's barred from buying a gun because of age or criminal history. Making it more difficult to put guns in the hands of criminals and children might seem like a no-brainer. But the cold-dead-hands folk tend to see any restriction on gun sales as an apocalyptic threat to their sacred right to bear arms.
So while I am rooting for the people at St. Mark to succeed, I am not betting on them.

Much-loved Hair & Beauty Salon, Pinky's Vintage Salon, located in the heart of Grimsby, has been keeping clients looking fabulous at it's new home in Haven Mill for just over a year and owner, Sarah Thompson, has a team of staff who are all former learners from the Grimsby Institute.
Not only are all of Sarah's Hairdressers and Beauty Therapists but, Sarah also kindly opens up the salon to learners looking for work experience, making sure young people get the experience they need to succeed in salon life.
Sarah explained: "I originally started working closely with the Grimsby Institute when I took some former learners on to work for me. They were fresh out of training and were looking for a fresh start. They'd had no experience of working in a salon and some other salons wouldn't give them a chance. I decided I wanted to give them an opportunity because If it hadn't been for the fact that someone did the same for me when I was first starting out I wouldn't be where I am today.
"When the learners are on work experience they will come in for one day a week and, if they are doing hair for example, they will shadow a stylist who will go through different techniques with them. I really love being able to do this.
"When young people come into work, straight from training at Grimsby Institute, they come knowing all the up-to-date techniques. I believe in giving young people who have worked hard, and have dreams and aspirations, an opportunity."
Courtnie Tomlinson, 18, studied Level 2 Hairdressing & Beauty courses at the Grimsby Institute and is one of the Pinky's newest team members. Courtney said: "I've always wanted to be in this industry, since I was 7 or 8 years old, and I decided to train at the Institute because they were offering the chance to study both Hair & Beauty in a combined course.
"I've been working at Pinky's since June and I really love working with everyone and meeting new clients. It's like a family. Because at the Institute you work in the Graduate Salon it really prepares you for the world of work."

1. What is HID Xenon?HID lamp (High-Intensity-Discharge) is the top product of the Metal halide lamp. Unlike Halogen lamps, HID lamps don't have a filament but create light by the arc between two electrodes. There are distinctive metals contained in the arc tube: high-pressure Xenon (99.99%), mercury and metal halide. When starting voltage is applied to the electrodes from the ballast or igniter, an arc is formed between them. The arc activates the Xenon, which in turn ignites the metal halide. The result of this action is the emission of light energy. Due to the high pressures of HID lamp operation, these wavelengths are concentrated in the visible light spectrum. We can get the desired color temperature through changing the pressure of HID lamp or the proportion of the metal halide.2. Outstanding Features:Super Brightness: The brightness and its luminous flux are increased by 300% as that of the halogen tungsten lamp, so that the lamp can radiate to higher, wider and farther place.Good color temperature: The color temperature is approximately 4300 K –10000k compared to 3000 K for halogen lamp. The common choose is 5500k, which is close to the sunlight and comfortable to our eyes, also benefiting for the safe driving indirectly.Low power consumption and high efficiency: The power of Xenon metal halide lamp(35Watt,) for vehicle is only around half of tungsten halogen lamp but emitting 3 times of light.Quick start up: From starting up to reach full light, halogen lamp takes about 15 minutes, while HID lamp takes less than 0.001 second to start up and it can reach 85% of its full light in 1 second. For hot-re-strike, it takes several seconds to stabilization; for pulse-start, it takes 10-20 seconds.Extremely long life: In practical terms, the life span of the bulb is equal to that of the car. Service life is at least 3000 hours, greatly above total hours of an automobile during normal night, which means that the bulb need only be replaced in exceptional cases.3. Why we use HID Lamp?On the road, HID Xenon lighting systems appear as a bright white beam which resembles natural daylight. The bright white beam offers greater visibility and road safety. High efficiency makes the requirement for cooling the lamp lower and can reduce the aging of the lamp chimney. Extremely long life makes the HID lamp in proper condition without maintenance. The constant power and brightness in such a huge range of input voltage make HID lamp unparalleled. Quick start-up technique is the best solution for automobile lamp.
Features:Power out,35W normLUMEN(M): 3500 COLOR TEMP(K):4300K~12000K The life of Xenon light can reach about 3000 hours. While halogen light is only 500 hours Power is well saved. The light produced by 35W Xenon light is 2.5 brighter than that brought about by 55W halogen light
HID Bulbs increase peripheral visibility up to 70% more than halogen bulbs and provide up to 3x more illuminated coverage than stock lighting.
HID Kits are easy to install, even for the most novice of mechanics. All you need is simple hand tools, like a screw driver, socket wrench and wire cutters.

What are the possible impacts this could have on the Singapore property market? Let's examine what could trigger a potential downturn or crash in property prices from both global-macro and country-micro warning signs.
