DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. May be competitive on price, but they are only interested in selling you a product. It's when things go wrong that you really find out how good a company is or not.

What a let down OnlineGolf has turned out to be. They took my order for a pair of Adidas golf shoes, then, five days later, sent me an email to say they couldn't deliver the goods because they didn't actually have them. Surely, with such a computerised system, they must know what stock they hold? To make matters worse, the email encouraged me to buy another CLUB instead!

Suffice to say it too nearly 3 weeks to get a refund from them after they delivered a set of clubs I didn't order (i.e. wrong item, not me changing my mind). They actually didn't have the clubs I ordered in stock. Emails went into the customer service black hole, phone calls were greeted with little in the way of service and many broken promises.

Appendix A: Should I take on this client?
Being a man in today's world hurts. The male psyche is wounded, and needs to be healed. If men are to escape from the shackles of patriarchy, of the dominance society, of hegemonic masculinity, of the false faces they have been made to put on, they need to be initiated into a new kind of masculinity.
The word 'initiation' is used because nothing less will do. It is a kind of rite of passage which is required, where a man can move out of the old roles and into something else. Like all rites of passage, it involves aspects which are of the body, aspects which are of the emotions, aspects which are of the rational understanding, and aspects which are of the soul. The doors of the imagination must be opened.
In today's world the old kind of initiation, which moved the person from one fixed role to another fixed role, is not an option. The roles are not fixed any more, and to the extent that they are, they are harmful. Today's initiation must be unique to each person, personal to each man. We can say certain general things about it, as for example that simply reversing the existing stereotypes, and trying to produce a gentle, feminine man, is not the aim. We have to go beyond all the stereotypes.
Because the change required is so major, entailing nothing less than the undoing of many years of laborious conditioning – conditioning which is still going on, still being reinforced in many different ways – a weekend will not do. Five days or a week will not do. What is required is a continuous process, seeing the man through the ups and downs, the contradictions and paradoxes, the breakthroughs and the setbacks, the insights and the blindnesses. Only psychotherapy and the deeper kinds of counselling or personal growth can perform this task, because only therapy stays with the man through all his difficulties.
Many kinds of therapy are not up to this task. They have a limited philosophy, or inadequate aims; they have goals which are too highly structured or too pessimistic. Many therapists do not have the required skills. We have to be just as critical of therapy as we are of any other aspect of the patriarchal system. Therapy cannot be taken for granted: it must be problematized just as much as anything else.
In trying to understand what needs to happen, the alchemical model seems to be useful. It offers a sequence of processes, involving all the paradoxes, circlings and re-entries already mentioned. It helps us to see in a pictorial way that what is involved is a path of psychospiritual development, but one which we are all on already.
Given the right kind of therapy, given the appreciation of the need for initiation, there is hope for men to come through. It has been said that for change to take place, what is needed is dissatisfaction, and a vision of what is possible, and some idea of the first steps to be taken. This book offers all three. The male psyche can be healed.

Key fleet issues are fuel costs, servicing, emissions and Brexit
Two new surveys have focused on the coming year to identify some of the key fleet issues facing businesses in 2017. These include rising fuel costs, controlling carbon emissions and concerns over the impact of Brexit on prices.
In the first study, automotive glass specialist Autoglass carried out a survey of 250 fleet managers to discover what was at the top of their list of fleet issues for the coming months.
Worries over fuel costs
The survey found that while worries about the cost of fuel and service and maintenance were at similar levels to a previous survey in 2014, concerns about CO2 emissions had notably increased in prominence, jumping from 12th on the list of issues in 2014 to third in 2016.
Concerns about tax and regulation had also increased, arguably in response to rises in company car taxation from April 2017.
On average, the fleet managers surveyed rated the following concerns in order of importance:
|December 2016 Rank
|Average (out of 10)
|vs. 2014
|Fuel costs and efficiency
|6.94 (1)
|Service and maintenance costs
|6.37 (2)
|CO2 emissions
|4.38 (12)
|Driver safety / behaviour
|6.12 (3)
|5.67 (6)
|Limited budget / resource
|5.73 (4)
|Extending vehicle life
|5.54 (7)
|Residual value
|5.15 (9)
|Regulatory changes
|5.03 (10)
|Fleet productivity
|5.72 (5)
|Accident management
|5.17 (8)
|Keeping up to date with the latest vehicle technologies (e.g. ADAS)
|Driver satisfaction with company choice list
|4.57 (11)
The change in priorities was even more evident in the percentage of respondents who scored their level of concern about each aspect of fleet management as 8 or more out of 10.
In 2014, only 13% scored CO2 emissions as an 8 or above compared with 24% in the latest survey. On the same measure, tax rose from 26% to 34%, and regulatory changes from 15% to 27%.
Brexit concerns over prices
In the second study, the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association indentified a number of key concerns for fleets for 2017.
The first was the climate of uncertainty around Brexit and the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. The BVRLA said any further devaluation of the pound would put major cost pressures on the fleet supply chain as prices of vehicles, tyres and parts will almost certainly rise.
The Association also expected to see a small increase in sales in the traditional fleet leasing market during 2017, but believes sales growth for vans will be much stronger, at around 10%, year-on year.
This will be led by the continued growth of online retailing and the trend for companies to downsize from small HGVs to reduce their compliance burden.
SME growth and CO2
The SME and consumer markets will continue to drive most of the organic growth in fleet leasing, while the BVRLA also predicts double-digit growth in personal contract hire volumes for some of its members.
In terms of CO2 emissions, the BVRLA believes that new vehicles supplied by leasing companies will continue to become even greener and outpace the reductions seen in the wider new car market.
However, the Association thinks that the impact of rises in Vehicle Excise Duty and Company Car Tax will dissuade many drivers from choosing a ULEV.
Fall in diesel take up
The shift from diesel to petrol and electric powertrains will also gather pace in 2017, believes the BVRLA, with diesel's share of the new car market falling towards 65%.
Diesel will come under particular pressure in urban areas as more cities announce their clean air strategies and the government is forced to re-draft its national plan.
The Association predicts that the government will give serious consideration to a national diesel scrappage scheme that targets the oldest, most polluting vehicles to get them off UK roads.
Lease accounting and servicing
After years of discussion, 2017 will finally be the year firms start getting ready to implement the new lease accounting rules, says the BVRLA. The Association says it will continue to work with accounting standard setters to ensure the new lease accounting standard is implemented sensibly and in the least burdensome manner.
At the same time, the Association predicts that the fleet sector will see a raft of innovative connected services introduced in the next 12 months, primarily in the area of servicing, maintenance and repair.
Manufacturers will be keen to rollout these new services in a bid to drive more business to their franchised repair networks.
Meanwhile, an explosion of smartphone-based fleet management and driver apps will bring the cost, emissions and road safety benefits of telematics within the reach of every fleet operator.
Data protection
Ahead of a new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into effect in 2018, this year will also see an increased focus on how UK firms ensure compliance with the regulation. This will become an absolute priority as vehicle and driver data usage increases in importance and relevance with ownership of data being the key issue.
At the same time, the Association believes there will be concerted attempts to tackle the issue of the nation's grey fleet, which will lead to an increase in the uptake of corporate car club and mobility services.
If you would like more information on any of the above, then please get in touch.

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
(A Wicked Thing #2)
Publication Date: February 23, 2016
Hardcover, 368 pages, HarperTeen
Genres: YA, Fantasy, Fairytale Retelling
Asleep for a hundred years, awoken by a kiss, Aurora's life was supposed to be a fairytale. But since discovering that loyalty to the crown and loyalty to her country are two very different things, Aurora knows she can only dream of happily ever after. Once the enchanted princess, savior of her people, she is now branded a traitor.
Aurora is determined to free her home from the king's tyrannical rule, even if it means traveling across the sea to the kingdom of the handsome and devious Prince Finnegan—someone who seems to know far more about her magic than he should. However, Finnegan's kingdom has perils of its own, and any help he gives Aurora will come at a price.
As Aurora and Finnegan work together to harness her power—something so fiery and dangerous that is as likely to destroy those close to Aurora as it is to save them—she begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding the curse that was placed on her over a century before…and uncover the truth about the destiny she was always meant to fulfill.
Brimming with captivating fantasy and life-threatening danger, the sequel to A Wicked Thing takes Sleeping Beauty on an adventure unlike any she's ever had before.
My Thoughts
I haven't read the first book and I don't own it, either. But I NEED it! These covers are beautiful and I think these books deserve to be read by me.
What book are you waiting on this Wednesday?

December 1st was be the 112 Anniversary of the release of the first western film with a storyline, The Great Train Robbery (1903). It is also the film that, in a roundabout way, introduced us to the first western screen hero, Maxwell H. Aronson aka Gilbert M. Anderson aka Broncho Billy Anderson.
When I think about big screen westerns of the last 30 years Open Range, Tombstone, Silverado, 3:10 to Yuma (remake), and Appaloosa are a few that come to mind. You probably have your own opinion about each of these titles (I do) but one thing is for sure. They tried in their own way to stay true to the spirit of the west.
Last Saturday at our monthly get together at the Scottsdale Museum of Western Art, I was asked a question that I hear a lot – "Why aren't more westerns made for the theater?" The answer is simple and yet may be hard to comprehend for us western lovers. We just don't support the ones that make it to the local silver screen complex.
How many western purists saw Cowboys and Aliens? Or the recent Lone Ranger? Or Will Smith's Wild Wild West? I know, I know, you're saying, "Those aren't the type of westerns we want to see!" But, as I told the audience on Saturday, you need to realize that the studios aren't run by people who care. They look at facts and figures. They weren't around when westerns were in vogue and dominated before the dreaded "Demographics" began to dictate what they began telling us we 'wanted' to see.
These fact and figure corporation types look at the bottom-line – which is necessary to stay solvent since the demise of the halcyon days of the studio system - I had to look 'halcyon' up by the way. Let's take The Lone Ranger for example, if it had been a hit it would have been another feather in the cap of the team of Johnny Depp and Jerry Bruckheimer. There would have been a sequel which would have been another western, so to speak. But the film set westerns back. Not because it was a bad film – I actually enjoyed it on its own terms, you have to go in not expecting Clayton Moore (even John Hart) and Jay Silverheels.
But too many western fans refused to support it because of its presentation. It failed miserably although it did well on video, but so do dozens of westerns released directly to the video medium each year. Therefore it wasn't a win for Depp and Bruckheimer, but a loss for westerns! Disney looked at it as a lack of interest in a big screen western. In other words, theater goers love Depp, but they hate westerns! Everybody loves Depp as a pirate, they should have loved him as Tonto, right?! That's their thinking, just like Wild Wild West wasn't successful because of Robert Conrad's casting, so wouldn't it be great to give the part of James West to Will Smith and tinker with the plot of a 1960s TV show that was very popular in its day? "Well," I can hear the studio brass thinking, "It couldn't have been the casting of Will Smith or the plot! It has to be that no one wants to see westerns anymore."
We may hate what they do with our westerns but unless we take the castor oil they try to spoon feed us then we'll just need to be satisfied to stay home and watch some of the quality TV westerns we have coming our way. Now I guess I'll go finish watching Jonah Hex and then follow it with a chaser of Audie Murphy in Whispering Smith to make ol' Jonah go down easier.

OneEvent Technologies Vice President of Sales Chris Washburn will give a presentation titled "Technology Trends in Assisted Living" at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 15, at the 2018 Wisconsin Assisted Living Association (WALA) Spring Conference, which will take place at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells.
The three-day conference, which runs March 14-16, is the largest assisted living conference in the state. WALA promotes assisted living excellence for its membership base and the industry as a whole by looking out for the interests of assisted living providers and related businesses through legislative advocacy, public awareness and educational programming.
At the core of OneEvent's OnePrevent system is a patented AI software platform that leverages machine learning to analyze a multitude of environmental sensor measurements, creating valuable information and messages that are sent instantaneously to the mobile devices of property owners and managers. In the aging-in-place setting, OnePrevent is empowering facility operators, caretakers and residents' families to make faster and better decisions while mitigating property damage and personal injury risk. The system identifies and predicts the onset of fires, water damage, equipment failures, food/medicine spoilage and other catastrophic events. The AI solution creates a paradigm in which computer systems can sense what's happening an environment, and think, learn and act in response.
OnePrevent's environmental sensors measure a variety of conditions, storing all the data in a decentralized database. The AI solution analyzes the data to learn the intimate behavior of a residential unit to understand its normal pattern, as well as the resident's, and generates immediate alerts when an abnormality occurs. Because OnePrevent is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, new features and improvements happen automatically — meaning the system gets better, and smarter, with time.
Washburn will also be available in the OneEvent exhibit booth with Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Engineering Dan Parent in the WALA exhibit hall. Stop by the booth to learn more or to set up a meeting.

….well that's a good question!!! Several times in the last few months I've made some time to stamp and I would think this is it….I'M BACK!!! Then life continues to get in the way and it's another period of time before I get to stamp again! Well, I'm hoping that I can get a little more into it each week! In about another month or so, I will be having surgery and I will have at least a couple of weeks that I won't be able to drive, so I will be "stuck home"! I'm hoping that will get me back into the swing of things!
This past week I did take the time to create a couple of things. Of course my mojo has long taken a vacation so I'm doing a little CASING to get my mojo flowing again! Oh how I have missed Mojo!!! LOL! Anyway, I wanted to share the bread box that I made for some teachers at school and I filled them with Banana Bread! Definitely a favorite of all our pregnant teachers!!!!
The template was created my MJ Price-Williams! It is so easy to create and soooo cute when it's done!
MJ's blog is called Techno Stamper! I will link to it here so you can check out all the cool things that she creates!
Also here is her tutorial in case you can't find it on her blog!

In my opinion, there are three questions to ask and to answer, as honestly as possible, in order to "know thyself."
#1. Who are you?
#2. What is important to live for?
#3. What are you doing about it?
The apparent simplicity of these three questions belie the true complexity of the life-long self-discovery process to reveal the three answers which are correct, at core, for you.
"Who are you?" is a deceptively inviting three-word interrogatory for "who are you and how did you come to be the unique person you are today." The question obliges the respondent to think very carefully on these matters across all past, present and future considerations.
"Who are you?" must also be examined from its converse, vis-a-vis, who are you not and, by implication, who you must not be.
Consequently, in order to affirmatively assert who you are, you also need to affirmatively assert who you are not along with who you must not be and, by implication, who you will never allow yourself to be.
Since we can only know the light with reference to the dark and we can only understand good with reference to evil, it is extremely important to look deeply into every part of yourself. Ideally, the goal is for you to have direct experience with the truth of your truth, without any ulterior motive or excuse, so your resultant answer is true.
"What is important to live for?" obliges the respondent to primarily choose an external, as opposed to, as internal locus of control. The former seeks "permission" from an outside-out localization of power and control, whereas, the latter seeks "forgiveness"
from an inside-in power and control source, viz., who we are.
So what is important to live for anyway? God, family, country?
If the purpose of life is to live, then what is important to live for is really up to you!
Whether it is your calling or your leading or your following, people tend to do what is important to them. What we do is what we value only when what we value results in what we do.
If we value charity, yet repeatedly walk past every homeless beggar we see, then what we value really does not translate beyond gratuitous lip-service. But if we value charity and gift money, food or assistance when we can, then what we value is a value which exists, in vivo, and therefore defines what is important for us to really live for.
"What are you doing about it?" takes who you are and what is important to live for to the palpable flesh and blood and guts level of consistent and appropriate demonstrable action.
If there is no action, then it is likely you are not doing what is necessary that needs to be done (although there may be exceptions for which inaction is needed).
To "know thyself " is to think and judge and act in concert with your lived truth. Anything less is simply not true!

North Iceland is a beautiful region, hosting some of the best attractions on the island.
Home to the Lake Mývatn region, the town of Akureyri (otherwise known as the 'Capital of the North'), the whale-watching hot-spot of Húsavík and the northern parts of Vatnajökull National Park, the North attracts visitors throughout the year.
It is divided by fjords and mountain ranges into many beautiful regions.
Within the bay of Eyjafjörður is Akureyri, a town of 17,000 inhabitants. It is the largest settlement outside of the Greater Reykjavík Area.
It is easy to reach via the Ring Road, and many cruise ships land in the port of the town.
The older part of Akureyri is particularly worth a stroll, as it contains many historic buildings. The town is also home to many interesting museums, galleries, and the world's northernmost botanical gardens.
If you like skiing or snowboarding, one of the best skiing sites in the country is located nearby.
Siglufjörður straddles the border of Eyjafjörður and Skagafjörður and is most famously home to a charming settlement of the same name.
Other than its natural beauty, with huge cliffs bordering the town, Siglufjörður is renowned for its fascinating museums.
There is a folk music museum, which comes alive during an annual festival, and the Herring Era Museum. The latter is the only Icelandic museum to win an international award and is much more interesting than it sounds; it explains how Iceland managed to survive a millennium in such harsh climes by relying on the seas.
The Vatnsnes Peninsula
The Vatnsnes Peninsula gets its fame for two reasons. Firstly, it is the best seal-watching location in the whole country, with colonies hauling out throughout the year. In the town of Hvammstangi, you can visit the Icelandic Seal Centre to learn more about these animals.
It is also famous for hosting the coastal rock formation of Hvítserkur. This bizarre feature is said to be a troll frozen by the light of the morning sun, but to most, it appears to be more like an elephant drinking from the ocean.
Þingeyjarsýsla county is home to many incredible sites, particularly due to the fact that the Lake Mývatn region is nestled within it. This beautiful area is renowned for its lava formations, pseudocraters and rich birdlife.
Near Mývatn is the impressive lava field Dimmuborgir, which was featured in the Game of Thrones series. There is also the incredible waterfall Goðafoss, a beautiful feature between Lake Mývatn itself and Akureyri.
Húsavík is a nearby town, considered the whale watching capital of Europe. In summer, many operators see Humpback Whales every time they leave the port.
The Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon is home to some of Iceland's most beloved natural attractions; the river Jökulsá á Fjöllum runs through it and holds several waterfalls including Europe's most powerful, Dettifoss. Nearby to here is the spectacular, horseshoe-shaped Ásbyrgi canyon.
Far north, straddling the Arctic Circle is Grímsey island, the northernmost inhabited territory of Iceland, with a population of about 100 people. It is renowned for its fishing, its rich vegetation and birdlife, particularly puffins.ミーヴァトン湖,
Mývatn is a beautiful lake with many small islands in the north of Iceland, the fourth largest lake in the country. Due to its serenity, birdlife and volcanism, the lake, including its surrounding area, is one of the most amazing natural attractions in the country.
Mývatn is, in fact, so beautiful that is was used as a site in the Game of Thrones franchise. In mid-winter it was used to represent the lands North of the Wall, namely Mance Raider's Wildling camp.
Mývatn sits about an incredibly active geothermal area, giving it a unique and beautiful geology. After all, it is close to sites such as Krafla caldera, which contains the notorious Víti volcano, the name of which translates to 'hell'.
Many of the islands here are thus pseudocraters, formed by steam explosions as magma rose beneath pockets of water, and many are bizarre basalt columns, rising vertically from the surface, formed by rapid cooling after an eruption.
The high amount of geothermal activity beneath Mývatn, of course, presents the opportunity for bathing in naturally heated waters. This is best done at the Mývatn Nature Baths, a beautiful establishment with serene waters, incredible views, and a reasonable entry fee.
Mývatn has some of the best bird-watching available in Iceland, although those seeking puffins will need to be at coastal cliffs such as those at Látrabjarg and Dyrhólaey, between May and September.
In fact, Mývatn has more species of duck than anywhere else in the world, with thirteen nesting species and many more visitors. Most popular (and common) amongst these is the harlequin duck sometimes referred to as the white-eyed diver after their unique white markings.
Mývatn's surrounding vegetation and plentiful food make it a happy home for voles, mice and rats that have spread all over Iceland, providing tasty treats for Iceland's only native land mammal, the Arctic Fox. Visitors, however, will have to keep a close eye out for these, as they are experts in camouflage.
In terms of flora, the most interesting plant life at Mývatn actually exists just beneath the surface of the water. Marimo are 'moss balls', bizarre spheres of fluffy green algae that are found in very few other places around the world, namely Japan (where they got their name), Scotland, Estonia and Australia.
Surrounding sites
Visitors to Mývatn often wish to spend more than just a single day exploring its many surrounding locations. Primary amongst these is Dimmuborgir, a lava field which truly reflects the dramatic consequences of a volcanism in Iceland. This area is steeped in folklore and is home to the thirteen 'Santas' of Iceland, the Yule Lads.
It was also here that many of the Game of Thrones scenes were shot such as Mance Rayder's wildling camp at Dimmuborgir and Grjótagjá cave, where Jon and Ygritte shared an evening together. Though this site can be admired from the shore, the water temperature is not monitored and can heat up very quickly, so visitors are asked not to take a dip.
Those with an interest in Iceland's strange geothermal and geological sites should also check out the Skútustadagígar pseudo-craters and the aforementioned Víti crater and its surrounding lava field. There are also several geothermal hot spots around Krafla and the Námaskarð Pass which is a fascinating and primordial place.
Lake Mývatn is located on the Ring Road that fully encircles the country, making further sites easily reachable. To the west is the 'Capital of the North', Akureyri, a charming town with the highest population outside of the capital area.
To the east, you can find the largest waterfall in Iceland, Dettifoss which also happens to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe, and the incredible horseshoe-shaped canyon, Ásbyrgi. This feature was said to have formed by the stomping of one of the feet of Oðinn's eight-legged horse as it leapt through the sky.ミーヴァトン・ネイチャー・バス
Photo from Goðafoss Waterfall and the Mývatn Nature Baths
The Mývatn Nature Baths are a set of geothermally heated pools and steam baths found in the Lake Mývatn area. They are about two kilometres east of the village of Reykjahlíð, and a fantastic example of Iceland's hot spring culture.
Opened in 2004, the Mývatn Nature Baths can be considered to be somewhat of a northern equivalent of the world-famous Blue Lagoon Spa, found in Iceland's south-west. It is the only pool of its size in the area and is ever increasing in popularity. It is recommended you book tickets in advance in the summer.
Facilities and Price of the Mývatn Nature Baths
The Mývatn Nature Baths are centred around a large lagoon, which has a temperature of about 36 to 40 degrees Celsius (97 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). The water here is packed with minerals, particularly sulphur, which is said to be good for respiratory and skin problems.
There are also two steam-baths, sat directly on top of churning geothermal waters. The temperature in these is close to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit), and humidity is near 100%, so be sure to be well hydrated before going in. The site also has a hot tub and a separate pool for young children, as well as a restaurant.
The price for adult entry is 4,500 ISK for the winter season (until the end of April) and 5000 ISK in summer (until the end of September); 1,800 and 2200 ISK respectively for teenagers aged 13-15; and 3,000 ISK respectively for senior citizens, handicapped customers and students; and free for those 12 and younger with an adult.
Sites Around the Mývatn Nature Baths
The Mývatn region is one of the most diverse in Iceland. You will only have to drive five minutes from the Nature Baths to come across natural geothermal phenomena, such as those at Mount Námaskarð. On this pass, you will find dozens of seething fumaroles and bubbling mud pits, that dye the land vivid colours and fill the air with noxious fumes.
Nearby you will also find geological wonders, such as at Dimmuborgir. This 'lava fortress' is unbelievably dramatic, and steeped in folklore; it is said that this is where the thirteen evil Santas of Iceland live. It is no wonder that it was used in Game of Thrones as the setting for Mance Rayder's Wildling Camp Beyond the Wall.
Another nearby site used in Game of Thrones that combines both geothermal energy and geological beauty is the Grjótagjá hot spring cave. While you cannot bathe here, you can feel the water and see where Jon Snow and his Wildling lover consummated their relationship.
The lake Mývatn itself is beautiful and renowned for its birdlife, with over a dozen species of duck, to say nothing of the other species. Those interested in flora will be interested to know that this is one of the few places in the world where you can see moss balls.
The Mývatn area is also considered a point on the Diamond Circle sightseeing route, so it is close to other incredible places of the North, such as Goðafoss and Dettifoss Waterfalls.

Mercy HealthCare Foundation is a non-profit corporation dedicated to providing support to CHI Mercy Health with supplemental funding for capital and program needs essential to the hospital's growth and development. The foundation is responsible for programs such as Sack'Em and the Festival of Trees.
The "For Mercy's Sake Sack'Em" program is one of our annual fundraisers. People pledge an amount for each sack made by the Valley City State Viking's and the Valley City High School Hi-Liner's quarterbacks. All funds raised go toward the recruitment of medical providers. It is a time-consuming and expensive task to recruit, however it is vital to sustaining the quality of health care in Valley City and the surrounding area.
The "Festival of Trees" takes place the weekend after Thanksgiving. It is an elegant evening of twinkling Christmas lights and gorgeous Christmas trees. An extensive hors d'oeuvres buffet is served. There is a silent auction of many donated items. The evening centers on a live auction of at least 10 fully decorated Christmas trees, some wreaths and a travel package. The evening is put on completely by volunteers.

Adj slang used to describe someone who is moody because they are hungry.
Have you seen the snickers commercials? "You aren't you when you're hungry, grab a snicker's?" Well it's totally true! Maybe not that a snickers is going to make you feel more you, but you are a totally different person when you are hungry.
I wake up at 4:00 am every morning and began my routine. I love sleep, so I say 4:00 but I really mean 4:00ish. After I've pressed the snooze button five times, tell myself if you leave the house early enough you can grab Starbucks on the way in. (Starbucks is out of the way therefore I'd have to get up reallllly early for this to happen). It very rarely ever happens. It takes an hour without traffic to get to work. Even though I'm on the road by 5:10 am every morning there is always traffic. Meaning no drive through breakfast for me. Sometimes if I'm being proactive I'll grab a burrito from the freezer or a yogurt and eat it right when I get in at 6:00am. But if that doesn't happen, who knows when my next meal will be.
I've officially been up for two hours and I haven't had anything to eat or drink.
I'm the type of person that is constantly on the go, especially when I'm on the clock. I don't stop, once I do stop or slow down I'm pretty much done for the day.
I love food! I work with it all day long. I think it's funny that I work in restaurants and make other people fancy meals all the time, but I rarely ever eat, or sit down and enjoy a meal. If I'm super busy I normally ignore my hunger and just power through. Maybe having an iced coffee, or a few sips of water. Possibly stuff a few cookie crumbs or chips in my mouth before moving on to the next task.
It is now 3:00pm and the work day is over, or so it seems. I get in my car and drive back home. Rush hour is in effect at this time, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get home. Now, I have a three tier wedding cake to make, and I'm supposed to be going out with friends tonight. The cakes are already made, they just need to be filled, flat iced, and then frosted. There isn't much decorative design, so I figure that I can get it done in a rather short period of time. Boy was a wrong.
The base cake was 14 inches, moderately large, but I've done larger. It's filled and crumb coated and for the life of me I can't get the smooth edges I'm looking for. At this point I am beyond frustrated. I've been working on this one layer for over an hour. Unacceptable doesn't even begin to explain it. It should never ever take that long, EVER. That being said I cleaned up the kitchen, put all my tools away, and sat down for a minute. Basically the first time I've sat down all day. I realized I hadn't eaten at all… I was hangry.
I made myself a quick dinner, relaxed for a bout thirty minutes, canceled my plans because there was no way I was going out, and then I got back to work.
I turned up the music on my speakers, and got to work. It took me ten minutes to frost that cake. Bae, back in action!
The rest of the cake assembling process went by quite smoothly ( pun not intended).
I cleaned up, went to bed, and then proceeded to work a fifteen hour shift the next day.
Moral of this story, is EAT… take time for yourself. You are always on the go, and you don't even realize how subtly or how drastically not eating affects you.

SOLANA BEACH — Shannon King and Gaby Preston may no longer be in the classroom, but their commitment to schoolchildren has not wavered.
The former teachers, now realtors, have donated more than $30,000 to schools and other nonprofits that benefit children since they opened Schoolhouse Realty in 2008.
Local recipients have included Flora Vista Elementary PTA in
Encinitas; Christa McCauliffe Elementary PTA in Oceanside; the Carlsbad High School Athletic Department; and Ada Harris Elementary in Cardiff.
Other beneficiaries include the Central Asia Institute, a nonprofit that builds schools, especially for girls, in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The program works by donating 10 percent of Schoolhouse Realty's net earnings from a real estate sale to the school or nonprofit of the client's choice.
Recipients of the funds include client alma maters and schools that have been identified as having a great need. One client who was involved in the Big Brother program asked that the money be donated to the school of his "little brother" through the program.
In 2008 and 2009, $7,000 was generated for donations. The amount has more than doubled already this year to $15,000.
"I was inspired by Paul Newman and what he was doing," Preston said. "Our model is to think of creative ways to help publically funded schools. They'll tell us how they will spend it, whether it is on field trips, computers or pencils and paper."
Their generosity hasn't gone unnoticed. A notebook in the office is overflowing with thank you letters from grateful students.
"The whole school and I were flabbergasted to see that you donated $1,592.50 dollars to the school," wrote elementary school student Tabitha G. "We really appreciated your donation because we are in a budget crisis and we needed the money for classroom supplies or equipment … "
Oscar C. had more ambitious plans.
"If we could use the money for a field trip I would like to go to Disneyland," he wrote. "At Disneyland we could learn about physics and math by riding the roller coasters."
A great motivator for King and Preston are the deep budget cuts in education.
"The California budget cuts affect a generation of children," Preston said. "We are at a point where we can never expect public education to be free. We need the community, parents and other stakeholders to donate money to schools."
King added, "Whatever resources you have. If you are unemployed you can help out in the classroom."
Preston continues by explaining that in the future schools will be turning to private funds, with teachers more involved in fundraising.
"Teachers need to be in the classroom, not at fundraisers at McDonalds or ice cream night," she said. "The foundations and PTA are most appreciative. They know how much time and organization it takes to raise $1,000."
Schoolhouse Realty also helps by allowing high school students to earn internship credit by working in their office where they learn public speaking, phone skills, client service, marketing and software programs such as Powerpoint.
"A former intern who just graduated from Torrey Pines High School introduced us to the executive director of the foundation," King said. "I love that he continued to want to help."
King and Preston formed their partnership after meeting at a neighborhood concert in Del Cerro in 2008.
King had worked as elementary and middle school English teacher in Austin, Texas, for several years. She bought her first home at 21 and got a real estate license to flip houses and teach the process to others. She had already started Schoolhouse Realty from her home when she met Preston who was studying for her California real estate license after teaching honors English, ESL and student government to middle school students in Scottsdale and San Diego.
"I looked over at Shannon at the concert and could tell by her key chain that she was in real estate," Preston remembers. "I said, 'Can I take you to lunch?' We really hit it off. I said, 'I'm not sure what's in it for me but I think we could have a great company.'"
Schoolhouse Realty is located at 665 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. For more information, call (858) 461-1155 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The OSKI: Defend the Slimes!
The Outspark Insider
February 21st, 2012
Fiesta Game News
Hello, fellow Fiestans,
It's time once again for our weekly server maintenance! What's been going on since last time?
After his disappearing act last week, Kobal eventually found his way back to the GM lair, but he looked like something the cat dragged in. It turns out that he was gone so long because he was searching for a new power, something to make up for his forgetfulness last time. It turns out that Kobal picked up quite an interesting trick, which he soon taught to the other GMs... Perhaps you'll get a chance to experience it soon! (See "Changes" section for more details!)
To prepare for this maintenance, the servers will be shutting down starting at 10:00pm PST, and the maintenance has an estimated completion time of 1:00am PST, for a total of 3 hours. Check the server announcements located in the Fiesta forums for updates in case the process is completed any sooner (or later).
- Added Tower Defense Mode. This is a special, GM-initiated event. Look forward to it!
- This event involves defending a set of royal slimes from incoming waves of enemies.
- If too many monsters reach the slimes, you lose!
- It is expected to run 20-30 minutes each round.
- Max number of participants will be announced prior to the event.
- This mode is experimental and will evolve over time based on performance and feedback.
- Added February premium items (part 2)
Errors and Bugs
- Fixed animations (or lack thereof) for archer and cleric skills when cast soon after login.
- Fixed auto move for all eligible characters (levels 1-60).
We'll see you after the patch, Isyans!

Focusing on local education efforts, Toyota donated $150,000 to Project Lead The Way. These funds will go to support STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum in 11 schools in Kentucky.
These grants will help schools provide classes on computer science and biomedical science, as well as improving classroom quality to be more engaging and hands-on for students.
The president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., Susan Elkington, said that there is an "urgent and critical need to get more young people interested in STEM," which is why she considers it so important to invest in programs like Project Lead The Way.
This isn't the first time the Toyota USA Foundation, which is responsible for the grant given this May, has worked with Project Lead The Way. Last year, the Foundation donated $2 million to support 115 schools across the country.
Project Lead The Way institutes programs in schools like PLTW Launch for kindergarten through fifth grade, PLTW gateway for up to eighth grade, and more specific programs for high schools in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science.
One district in Kentucky, Harrison County, received grants for five of its schools, has been working with Project Lead The Way for 17 years, thanks in no small part to repeated donations by the Toyota USA Foundation.
At Hurlbert Toyota, we are proud to be part of a brand that gives back to its community. For more information on the newest Toyota models, visit us at Hurlbert Toyota.

DEC says 50 prescribed burns not completed
The Department of Environment and Conservation has been unable to complete 50 prescribed burns that were scheduled across WA for this year.
The figures were revealed during State Opposition questioning in the Upper House.
The Government also disclosed that seven DEC prescribed burns had got out of control since January, including the Margaret River fire which destroyed 40 homes and chalets.
Labor's Environment spokeswoman Sally Talbot says the Minister Bill Marmion must be made accountable.
"This Minister and this Government is systematically destroying confidence in the prescribed burning system in Western Australia," she said.
Yesterday, the Opposition Leader Eric Ripper questioned why there had not been any changes made to the controlled burning criteria following last week's blaze.
"Minister, are you really saying that ahead of an inquiry that won't report until after the bushfire season, that you're not taking any action to improve risk management for prescribed burns, any action at all?" he asked.
Mr Marmion responded by saying some changes will be made if necessary.
"I'll obviously be discussing, and I have been discussing, this with the department," he said.
"And, if there are measures that we think we can put in place now that need to be changed now I would expect that to happen.
"Otherwise the investigation will come out with the actions that are required."
The Australian Workers Union which represents DEC firefighters says the department is under-resourced.
WA branch secretary Stephen Price says the Government needs to employ more forestry firefighters to help prevent a repeat of a bushfire like that which hit Margaret River.
"The conservation workers do the best they can do under very difficult circumstances which people don't actually realise," he said.
"So, the issues between the agencies within the Government I think need to be sorted out at a high level which hopefully shouldn't impact on the guys on the frontline."
The union has also voiced its support for the senior officer who approved the controlled burn that sparked the bushfire.
Brad Commins has been moved out of operational duties pending the outcome of an independent investigation into the blaze.
He had previously been criticised for his role in the fatal Boorabbin bushfire in 2007 that killed three truck drivers.
Mr Price says Mr Commins is a very competent DEC officer.
"I think Brad Commins has been unfairly targeted over this situation," he said.
"I think it's unfortunate the way it's transpired; it's a tragic outcome but I think it's wrong that people draw connections between Boorabin and this."

Ho Ho Ho Mo Fo Fo Sho
The logo has been chrismassafied ( is that a word- spellcheck says No.) and now looks very festive and shiny. Maybe that will distract you from the fact that I haven't posted in ages. No? Ah well I'd better knock something up before Christmas then. In the mean time let me take this oppertunity to say that if you're looking for a present for a loved one, you could do worse than check out our snazzy merchandise.

What I'm Watching: Humans
Humans: Season 2, Episode 7 (B+)
Okay, so I know that AMC actually aired the eighth and final episode of this season right after the seventh, but I'd prefer to stretch this show out longer, especially since this hour was really good. It's hard to decipher who the good guys and who the bad guys are when the one at the top is actually Dr. Morrow, whose feelings about synths come from a much more personal place and who isn't intent on making the sentient ones suffer the same way as some of her colleagues are. After Hester nearly intimidated Mattie into cooperation by force at the start of the episode, she showed a cool, calculating demeanor when she didn't let herself be talked down by a surprisingly adept Pete and instead killed both the doctor and Pete. I'll admit that Pete's death caught me off-guard since I hadn't imagined that he would be killed and certainly not like this, and the most intense part of it was seeing Karen sob with such sadness and then reveal no trace of any emotion just seconds later. The devastation that Leo and Anita felt when all of the freed synths collapsed behind them after they had been broken out was poignant, and it's easy to forget that they too can be simply switched off with a mere touch or click. As they are immersing themselves fully into the battle, Niska is deciding that she doesn't want to be a part of it anymore, preferring instead to spend time with her girlfriend, someone who makes her feel human. The news that Renie isn't really a synth probably shouldn't be too surprising, and it's just the latest interesting comment about what kind of behavior passes for normal in this new world.

Farzad Darui (code name: "Carpet")
< Rev. James Bevel | Scam Artists
""Carpet" is the LaRouchians' code name for Farzad Darui, an Iranian-American businessman and close crony of former LaRouche security aide Paul Goldstein. Darui, like Frankhouser, presented himself as an operative with deep connections to the intelligence community, working at one point with a Baltimore florist who used the code named "L'Arabi." The claim that Darui received $5,000 a month in cash from the LaRouchians has been confirmed by several ex-members in a position to know. The payments were ongoing (with the amounts varying) beginning in the early 1980s. Darui, who among his other hats was the business manager for some years at the Islamic Center of Washington D.C. (a mosque where Sunni diplomats worship), was indicted in June 2007 in D.C. federal court for allegedly embezzling $430,000 from the mosque. It is not known if the IRS is investigating the cash payments (possibly in excess of one million dollars) that Darui received from LaRouche over the years."
