Look deep within, uncover your truth and you'll find complete clarity was with you all along.
Our skin is filled with little surprises. We do what we can to keep our skin under control, but we're often limited by the products we use.
Skin care products can be extremely pricey, and can deem effective only when used in conjunction with other products. But the truth is our financial situation may not allow us to indulge in the best creams, serums and face washes. ($50.00 for a water-based makeup remover?!? Ain't nobody got time for that.) I searched long and hard for a healthy, affordable, complete skincare set. Aaaand I found it.
This pack by Philosophy offers 4 of their products (a $68.00 value) for $38.00, giving you peace of mind to take control and feed your soul. Not only does this product deliver amazing results, but its inspirational packaging is a holistic daily reminder to focus on the positive…because taking advice from a skin care line makes more sense than from a mallard.
Total clarity is when your head and your heart come together wanting and needing the exact same things.
You can purchase this skincare set online or at your local Sephora, but here's a little secret: Philosophy's website offers a free gift with email sign up. (Wink wink.)

Kate Hudson knows the importance of staying in shape, even while traveling nonstop. To keep her fit, the co-founder of Fabletics has certain go-to apps that she relies on when she can't hit the gym.
The 37-year-old, who graces the cover of June's issue of Shape magazine, rotates between several services that provide her with the best exercises that she does from the comfort of her hotel room and while recovering from jet-lag.
"There are a couple of workout apps that I use, like QE2, a full-body routine created by my Pilates teacher, Nicole Stuart," she shared with the magazine. "It keeps me in tip-top shape. Then there's Hot5, which I love because each workout is only five minutes long. When I'm in a hotel room and feeling jet-lagged, I can do one or two and it really gets me going. I also like Sworkit. You can do it anywhere, even in the smallest space, and break a good sweat in just 15 to 20 minutes."
Another way for the mom-of-two to get her fitness in while on the road is heading outdoors. "I'm a nature girl. I grew up in Colorado and was always outside," she said. "I still am, even when I'm in the city. If I'm in Amsterdam, I get on a bike, ride everywhere, and really see the place. I love that freedom, which you can't get in a car.
Inside Kate's rigorous workouts
She continued: "In New York City, if I'm staying downtown and have a meeting uptown, I'll put on my earphones, listen to great music, and just walk. There is nothing better than walking in Manhattan."
The Kung Fu Panda 2 star knows that when it comes time for her to get in her exercise, she is "not a planner," and she has to make find something that suits her mood at that moment . One workout that has stuck with her since she was 19 is Pilates. "It's the workout my body really responds to. It's all about alignment, elongating your spine, and strengthening your core," she explained. "It makes me feel my strongest. Pilates is always challenging. The advanced moves are amazing, but so hard."
And all that discipline sweating has certainly paid off. "I love my shape because I work really hard at it. I honor my body by working out and seeing what it can do."

Lego police set is Jacks favorite.
Life Size Lego House
This week I was fortunate to paint a mural for a young boy named Jack. I have never seen someone soooo enthusiastic about Legos. It was my pleasure to bring the plain walls of his room to life. His favorite Lego police set was the centerpiece of the mural. It was painted on the wall opposite his bed so that every morning he could wake up and see the mural that he art directed. Bright colored legos are stacked high throughout the room that were color-matched from his new comforter and sheet set.
Even though Jack's tall bookcase (below) would be covering most of this stack we still painted the legos tall just in case he moved his furniture down the road. Taping off each block is time consuming but gives a clean crisp edge. All he needs is a few accessories from the new Lego store coming to Eastview Mall and he's all set.
Enjoy your room Jack!

Coming up with new and exciting thoughts can be difficult, especially when you're in a creative rut.
So we're going to teach you—with a little extra help from TED—how to approach creativity from all angles, from coming up with an award-winning idea to selling it to a boss or client. And I can almost promise you that after watching these five talks, you'll be inspired to innovate like you never have before.
1. Understand Where Good Ideas Come From
Writer Steven Johnson likes to point out that the enlightenment period had a lot to do with the invention of coffee houses. How so? Well, he goes on to discuss how environment plays a role in the creation of ideas. What you'll learn is how they're formed, the surprising spaces that encourage them to form, and the (slow) process it takes to get there. Oh, and you'll come to discover that the concept of an "epiphany" is actually a myth.
2. Play Around a Bit
Tim Brown, the CEO of the firm IDEO, discusses how as adults, peer judgment affects our creativity. He emphasizes that we must learn to play like children in order to inspire greatness. To do this, we must be relaxed in our surroundings and with the people around us.
Basically, Brown wants you to have fun with your beliefs. The more comfortable and unashamed you feel, the better your ideas will be.
3. Let Ideas Mingle and Mate
British author Matt Ridley has this funny (but valid!) concept of ideas "having sex" with each other. What he means is that just as we, as humans, are a combination of the most innovative genetics, great innovations can also be a combination of the most innovative concepts. This is evident in the earliest of history, when the notions of "trade" or "specialization" began to form and people and activities became more efficient. His talk will show you how exchanging thoughts with others can also result in higher prosperity for all.
4. Learn How to Spread Ideas
Seth Godin, an entrepreneur and blogger, says that the spreading of ideas all comes back to—get this—sliced bread. Yes, that's right—if it wasn't for this concept, sliced bread might never have existed.
The point of his talk is that knowing how to spread your groundbreaking concept is just as important as the initial thought itself. So he'll tell you all about making your ideas "remarkable" in a way that people will listen to them, enjoy them, and remember them long after.
5. Use Obstacles to Your Advantage
Writer and radio producer Julie Burstein, in her talk about creating in the midst of challenges, self-doubt, and loss, gives four examples of individuals who had to overcome obstacles in order to spark their creativity. Her talk inspires artists, creators, and thinkers alike to embrace and learn from their challenges. In fact, these four individuals were able to improve their creativity by using these encounters to recreate, restructure, or even abandon their original work.

About event
1. To hear the father of Russian rock live and congratulate him on his 65th birthday
2. Extended program of legendary and absolutely new songs.
3. Creativity beyond age and convention
Meet in your city! Boris Grebenshchikov and the group "Aquarium" with the new program "The Doors of Grass".
A philosophy that has passed through generations. Lyrics, sprouted through the stones and thorns of the freedom-loving and protesting rock and roll. A thought rushing far beyond the limits of all worldly and everyday vanity. All this he - the legendary Boris Grebenshchikov!
This year, the father of Russian rock, the poet and musician turns 65 years old. Boris Borisovich celebrates his anniversary on the stage with performances on a tour of the cities of Ukraine.
The unique music of the group "Aquarium" is not just alive, but continues to discover new facets in the lyrics of ballads, seething rock and roll and philosophical reggae. And what is amazing is that neither the group nor its founder BG became a retro-group, despite a more than solid creative path. Their music is alive and fresh, because the team is constantly experimenting with form and sound, finding new notes and catching the strings of the soul of both devoted fans and those who are just discovering rock and roll.
The new program of BG and the group "Aquarium" is called "The Doors of Grass" - in honor of his eponymous song, which in 2017 was released in a completely new arrangement. Boris Borisovich himself has repeatedly admitted that it was this song, written a long time ago, that he could not perform correctly and precisely. And only when the "Aquarium" turned 45, and the BG approached 65, a true and authentic sound was found.

Who would have guessed that dog excrement would become a topic of concern for local governments around the world, but indeed it has!
In Vancouver, there is a bitter debate raging about dog-do: Dog owners claim they are cleaning up, while local officials say otherwise. A city in Taiwan is offering financial incentives for dog excrement collected and turned in. In the U.K., closed circuit television surveillance is being used to nab "dog fouling offenders." In Spain, one city now has mandatory DNA testing and registration for dogs. Any found feces are tested and the offending owner pays lab costs and a fine. Cities in Ireland, Germany, Israel and the U.S .are considering similar measures.
Online, there are endless resources offering advice on the best ways to clean up dog pooh. Run-of-the-mill plastic bags are most common but you can choose scented or self-sealing bags. One website displays photos of celebrities doing the job with plastic bags, including one stylish woman tottering on 4-inch pink heels. Poop-scooping devices prevent the need to bend over and eliminate any risk of accidental exposure (the gal in the heels really could have used one of these). The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists (apaws.org) offers a handy guide to find a clean-up service near you.
Experts do not see eye to eye on optimal disposal methods, but the most recommend burying, flushing, or putting it in the trash.
You can also find helpful advice online on how to confront "dog poop rebels" who fail to clean up. But I'd suggest a subtler method used by one of our staff members. She carries extra bags and sweetly offers them to fellow dog walkers who fail to notice or seem on the verge of walking away.
Psychology Today recently featured an article about Matthew Mazzotta at MIT who has created an art installation powered by, you guessed it, doggy-do. Park Spark—Transforming Dog Waste Into Energy to Power Public Art is an interactive installation at a dog park. Dog owners deposit feces which powers an attractive old-fashioned gas street lamp. Mazzotta hopes this will inspire others to come up with positive solutions to the dog poop dilemma.
While we wait for other creative minds to come up with ideas, those of us who love dogs can set a positive example by picking up after our own pets.

Comparison of 1 Day Scotland Tours
The Best Bus and Coach Day Tours in Scotland
One day tours are the most popular way for tourists to sample different Scottish regions while on holiday in Scotland. Whether you want to see the Scottish Highlands, the Borders, the Trossachs or Fife, there will almost certainly be a tour company that has have a 1 day tour that caters to your needs. There are several reasons why day trips and tours in Scotland are so popular:
- Cheap - Because you return on the same day, you don't pay for overnight accommodation making the tour price more affordable. Day tour prices range between £25 and £45, depending on season, company and vehicle. It also means you don't have to change your existing accommodation arrangements which may be the case with other tours lasting several days.
- Depart from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness - Most people fly to Scotland and many choose Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness as their base. Most Scottish bus and coach tour operators run tours from these three cities (particularly from Edinburgh) which make day trips particularly convenient.
- Ideal for short breaks - Scotland is, without a doubt, best suited for longer holidays because you simply cannot take in its scenery and beauty on a short bus tour. The one day Scottish tours, however, are ideal for those who cannot stay in Scotland for more than a few days. They offer you a chance to sample what Scotland has to offer and for many people, it is enough to make them want to return for a longer holiday.
- Hassle-free - You get on the bus and the tour guide does the rest. You just sit back and enjoy the views, the stories and the music played on the bus or coach. Most drivers/tour guides are very knowledgeable, entertaining and accommodating. They also try their best to show you hidden spots off the beaten path which Scotland has plenty of.
With most Scottish tour companies, the day trips fall into three major categories:
Types of One Day Tours offered by Scottish Tour Operators
|Day Tours of Scottish Highlands
|Day Tours of Kingdom of Fife
|Day Tours of Scottish Borders
While most tour companies organise sightseeing trips in these particular regions, there are several companies which organise specialty day tours including:
- Highland Games Day Tours - Day trips to experience the traditional Highland Games taking place on the summer weekends in villages and towns across the Scottish Highlands. Special Highland Games day trips include the Royal Braemar Gathering which is the only Highland gathering attended regularly by at least one member of the British Royal Family.
- Edinburgh Military Tattoo Day Tours - Day trips to Edinburgh to experience the world famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo taking place on the Castle Esplanade in Scotland's Capital.
Day Tours from other places in Scotland
While most day tours depart and return to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, there are many smaller tour companies and private tour guides operating half-day and day tours from many other Scottish places like Fort William, Oban, Dundee, Aberdeen, etc. While not as practical if your holiday base is elsewhere, compared to the day tours originating in the first three places, the trips from these smaller places have the benefit of being more varied and of including more places off the beaten track. Some of these can be more beautiful than some of the tourist traps like Loch Ness, for example.

Every backyard pond will have its own aesthetic appeal. People are drawn to water features and this helps to increase the entertaining value of the backyard as well as the overall value of the home. Of course, most people are not happy with only a mediocre backyard. They want their guests to be wowed by what they see and the pond is the perfect place to make that happen.
Add Some Lights
Many barbecues and parties extend well beyond sunset and the beauty of the pond is no longer visible at this point. Lights are festive and eye-catching and they are also a great safety feature that will prevent guests from falling into a dark pond. There are underwater lights, fountain lights and floating water lilies that light up at night and add color with the flowers during the day. Most of the lighting uses LED bulbs that are durable, inexpensive to use, and incredibly vibrant.
Add a Windmill
Ponds need aerators to keep the water properly oxygenated and free from algae. A windmill aerator is a unique option that is not seen everywhere. It is a genuine wind-powered aerator designed for both function and beauty. They are more functional in yards that receive adequate levels of wind. They are also not for small, urban backyards because they do require a substantial amount of space. One of the benefits of windmill kits is that they make it possible for people to aerate their pond without having to hide power cords or listen to noisy motors.
Install a Fountain
An exciting option is to add a fountain. Small fountains with a mild spray are possible as are larger ones that shoot columns of water many feet into the air. Aeration fountains also help to keep the water clear along with providing a source of entertainment. Adding lights to a fountain will also increase its entertainment value.
A few extra touches make every pond a little more attractive and enjoyable for the homeowner and their guests. There are many ways to also improve the yard surrounding the pool as well.

Which Tile is Right for the Job?
Glass tile is popular as a focal point for that "one-of-a-kind" touch to many projects. Available in many sizes and shapes, it has been traditionally used for accents on shower walls and floors, and kitchen backsplashes. Glass tile are available in colored see thru looks, foil backed tiles with metallic appearances, as well as small mosaic tiles with a mixture of colors in each tile.
Granite tiles are extremely hard and scratch resistant. A crystalline, platonic rock formed by slowly cooling magma of various colors. Granite contains 3 main minerals, Quartz, Alkali Feldspar and Plagioclase Feldspar. Granite tiles are most often used in a polished surface finish.
Formed over many years at the bottoms of oceans and lakes from the accumulation of shells, bones, and other calcium rich goods, Limestone is a softer, more open, poured stone which is normally used in natural unpolished look, without any gloss like marble.
Marble has long been valued for its beauty, unique veining, strength and resistance to fire and erosion. Marble is formed from Limestone by extreme heat and pressure which forces the Limestone to change in texture and makeup. Marble tiles are available in several surface finishes including: polished, semi-polished, honed or tumbled.
Slate consists of grains of Mica and Quartz. Slate results when the earth's crust squeezes these minerals into parallel layers. This stone is split into thin sheets rather easily. Slate tiles typically have an irregular surface, as opposed to the smooth finish of many other stones.
Travertine is limestone that has deposits of calcium crystals in layers on the surface. This product is porous with many visible holes. Travertine can be filled or left unfilled for a more rustic appearance.

Meet the Gold Coast's best Dad
Skydiving enthusiast Craig Donovan has been named this year's Father of the Year for the Gold Coast region.

- Permalink
Craig Donovan's devotion to his family has been recognised by the annual Queensland Father of the Year awards.
The 46 year old father of four from Mudgeeraba has been named Father of the Year for the Gold Coast region.
Craig says he was very surprised to get the call.
"I waited for it to be one of those prank calls but of course it was serious, I was embarrassed, humbled, and honoured all at the same time," he says.
Craig has raised his four sons, now aged 18-25, in their family home in Mudgeeraba's hinterland.
He says he is also 'probably the youngest grandfather on the Coast', with a 3-month-old granddaughter.
But it's not only his own children that Craig is devoted to.
"First and foremost comes building relationships with my own children, and then as many other young ones as I can, helping them on life's way."
Craig helps these other youth through mentoring.
"I have a small business which I've put about 20 young fellas through, and basically mentor them when they're just getting out of high school."
But it doesn't stop there.
Craig is also one of the youth pastors at Kings Christian College, and does chaplaincy work at the skydiving centre where he works as an instructor.
"I'm fortunate in the way that I'm living a full life.
"There's that saying that 'if you love your job you'll never work another day in your life', and I enjoy all the different roles I have," he says.
Craig will now be judged against the winners in six other regions for the title of 'Queensland Father of the Year'.
The award will be announced next Thursday.
For more information on the annual awards visit the Queensland Father of the Year website.

When Divorce Is Pending
The easiest way to exercise your right to visitation with your grandchildren is to get involved with your child's divorce in the very beginning. Section 3103 of the California Family Code allows grandparents to do this by filing a "petition for joinder" after their child or his spouse has filed for divorce, but before the court grants the divorce. California has a mandatory six-month waiting period for divorce after one spouse files and serves her spouse with her papers, so you have at least half a year to file a petition for joinder. The petition asks the court to legally make you a party to your child's divorce case. The court will schedule a hearing, and if the judge approves your request, this gives you the right to file a second petition for visitation. After you do so, even if your child and his spouse reach a settlement agreement regarding all other aspects of their divorce, the court can't grant their divorce until a court hears and decides your request for visitation.
If you miss the deadline for filing for visitation before your child's divorce is final, you still have rights. Section 3104 of the California Family Code allows you to file a petition specifically for grandparent visitation post-divorce. This essentially creates a separate lawsuit all your own. The court will schedule a hearing to determine if it is in your grandchildren's best interests to continue contact with you. Your grandchildren's parents have the right to appear and argue against visitation. In legal terms, they're your "adversaries" in this situation. They're the individuals you've filed your petition against. This is true even if your son or daughter supports your bid for visitation. Your child would still be your adversary, but would not formally object to your request. If either your child or his spouse have remarried, your grandchildren's stepparents may be parties to a post-divorce action as well.
Death of a Parent
A separate section of the California Family Code -- Section 3102 -- applies if one of your grandchildren's parents is deceased. In this case, California law automatically gives sole custody of the children to the surviving parent, even if the deceased parent had sole legal and physical custody before her death, and even if the surviving parent has not exercised visitation with his children or remained a part of their lives. If your child is the surviving parent, and if you have a good relationship with him, you can probably presume that your time with your grandchildren will continue. However, if your child dies, and his ex does not want you to see your grandchildren after custody is transferred to her, you'd have to file for grandparents' visitation under Section 3102 of the Family Code. You can also file a petition for custody if you feel your grandchildren's other parent is unfit to raise them. However, the law usually presumes otherwise, so you might have an uphill battle if their surviving parent objects.
If your child is still married to your grandchildren's other parent, your odds of successfully petitioning for visitation decrease. The California Court of Appeals handed down a decision in 1996 in the case of Barkaloff v. Woodward, indicating that the court has the right to award visitation, over parental objection, to a non-parent who has an interest in the well-being of a child. However, the U.S. Constitution trumps this to a great extent. Under the 14th Amendment, parents have a fundamental constitutional right to raise their children as they see fit, without interference from the government. State courts cannot take away that right, absent egregious circumstances such as abuse. Therefore, if your child is married and if he and your grandchildren's other parent decide that you should not visit with your grandchildren, a court is very unlikely to override their decision.This isn't to say you can't possibly win a lawsuit to achieve visitation, but you would probably need expert legal help in the form of an attorney who specializes in such cases.

text: This thread has been touching upon three issues - functional languages as a way of expressing problems, Excel as a language environment, and the programmer. Today, relational databases are widely accepted. However Ted Codd did not invent the relational model because he thought relations were neat. If you look at what he said at the time, his motivation was to make corporate data more accessible to non-programmers. Forty years ago he thought there were less programmers than there were programs to be written. Arguably the same is true today. When I was a boy, I would see IDMS recordsets like this: 200 300 150 200 230 etc What this represented was 2011/Q1 Sales = ˇň200 2011/Q2 Sales = ˇň300 2011/Q2 Sales = ˇň150 Worse still you would have: 12 200 27 300 etc which meant: 2011/Q1 Sales = ˇň200 2011/Q1 Units = 12 2011/Q2 Sales = ˇň300 2011/Q2 Units = 27 etc Tedd said you must use relations. Relations are unordered so you can't hide information in the order of data. Also you must have a field name for each field (and it should be on the same domain, so Sales shouldn't be in the same 'column' as Units). You would therefore have to have: Period Sales Units 2011/Q1 200 12 2011/Q2 300 27 etc Whilst- as we all know - that typically doesn't tell you everything you need to know when you come across a recordset, it makes it much easier for someone not deeply involved in the system concerned, to work out what is going on. Put it another way, using relations makes it less likely you will make a mistake because you didn't know the subtleties of the behaviour of the programs generating that data. Then, relations are amenable to first order predicate calculus. This resticts the complexity of the operations you need to carry out. When you consider the merits of functional languages, I believe you should take into account not only the elegance with which you can express what you want to do, or how amenable it is to eg parallel processing. You should also consider whether it strikes a better balance between such issues and accessibility. Does all your terseness and 'elegance' give you a justifiable advantage over something simpler which could be more easily handled by a person of less capability?

The Israel Air Force struck terrorist groups in Gaza in three separate attacks Tuesday afternoon killing at least six operatives, including a terror cell responsible for the 2006 kidnapping of IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit.
Two of the strikes were carried out in the central Gaza town of Dir el-Balah, where IAF pilots successfully targeted the gunmen involved in the 2006 kidnapping of IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit.
One of the missiles struck a vehicle carrying the Army of Islam terrorist cell, which included the group's second-in-command, Muataz Dughmush. Five terrorists were killed, including Dughmush, and three others were wounded, one critically. The vehicle was completely destroyed.
Two other Army of Islam terrorists were wounded in the second strike, which occurred in the same area a short time later.
Later in the afternoon, a sixth terrorist was killed in the third strike, which took place in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, another favorite site from which terrorists launch rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli civilians in the western Negev.
The IDF confirmed all three strikes, saying pilots targeted terrorist cells responsible for launching rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
Army of Islam Linked to Al-Qaeda
The Army of Islam group is run by the Dughmush clan, which is reportedly linked to the international Al-Qaeda terrorist organization and is sometimes referred to as "the organization of Al-Qaeda in Palestine."
The group is also known for having kidnapped BBC reporter Alan Johnston from his Gaza City bureau offices in March 2007, holding him hostage for almost four months before finally letting him go.

The price of Bitcoin plummeted again after investors were worried by the news of South Korean authorities banning cryptocurrency trading.
Bitcoin fell almost eight per cent – at $14,191 US (£10,552) – during Thursday morning trading, having recovered slightly from an earlier low of 13,672 US dollars (£10,168), according to prices listed on CoinDesk.
It comes after authorities in South Korea have 'put forward new legislation that would ban anonymous cryptocurrency accounts', writes Huffington Post.
[ooyala player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="1280″ height="720″ pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l" code="IzNWluZDE6Jz-jqjNAvSC-pnXMXfxR66″]
This apparent legislation is also set to 'stop banks from settling bitcoin exchange trades between parties that are unidentified, and give regulators the power to shut down cryptocurrency exchanges if necessary'.
Earlier in December, South Korea was said to be considering a capital gains tax on cryptocurrency trading, and banned the use of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) which allow investors to exchange cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for proprietary 'coins' linked to firms or projects. The latest price drop follows losses last week, when Bitcoin fell '36 per cent from nearly $20,000 US to around $12,137 US in five days'.
We've been seeing a steady decline in the cryptocurrency since the peak on Sunday, December 17th, including a massive drop to $17,000 on Tuesday, December 19th.
On December 22nd, almost all cryptocurrency saw a dip – Ethereum (down 20 per cent), Bitcoin Cash (down 30 per cent), Litecoin (down 21 per cent) and 'nearly every high-profile altcoin lost value over the last 24 hours', according to Coinmarketcap.com.
Ripple was up seven per cent, and was reportedly just one of two coins to remain green.
It's a tumultuous world in the crypto-sphere, such a drop was expected to be followed by gains after everybody's Christmas money came in and they started investing – but this is yet to happen.
It seems like a few experts have been prescient in their ditching of the cryptocurrency, including Emil Oldenburg.
Oldenburg, who co-founded Bitcoin.com, dumped his coins just last week saying they were as 'good as useless'.
Speaking to Swedish tech site Breakit, the tech expert said bitcoin is the 'most risky investment you can make' and this drop only seems to support that statement.
He said:
It's an extremely high risk. I've actually sold all my bitcoins recently and switched to bitcoin cash.
It costs a lot to transfer bitcoins to and from the stock exchanges. When I sold my BTC I had to pay $50 and wait 12 hours for the transaction to go through because of this.
He revealed Bitcoin.com had 'stopped developing new services for the old bitcoin network' and now primarily focuses mostly on bitcoin cash, which was launched in August.
The old bitcoin network is virtually unusable. It's at bitcoin cash that the solutions are, that's where I see a future.
Despite its recent dips – and even freezes – the cryptocurrency everybody is talking about is still up on the year, having started at around $900 US back in January.
It's certainly interesting, but I won't be investing…I'm out.

Trawl fisheries are a cause of significant levels of seabird by-catch when birds (primarily albatrosses and petrels) collide with warp cables at the back of boats, and become entangled in nets during the later stages of hauling. Up to 40 species are thought to be affected, with tens of thousands estimated to die each year.
countless birds are estimated to die annually as a result of contact with trawl fisheries. Seabirds congregate at the back of trawling vessels to grab fish that are snagged in the nets or the ones that fall out during hauling. In this process, birds can get hit by the cables that pull the trawl nets, resulting in serious or even fatal death. Birds dipping or diving down to grab fish from the nets can get snagged and drown
One of the areas where accurate numbers have emerged is the Bengula Current (covering the Exclusive Economic Zones of South Africa, Namibia and Angola, and adjacent international waters). This area has had high levels of seabird by-catch in trawl fisheries. In 2005/06 it was estimated that 18,000 seabirds were killed in the South African hake trawl fishery, one of the first trawl fisheries in which this problem was identified.
It was estimated that 85% of birds were killed by the powerful warp cables that attach the trawl net to the fishing vessel, entangling particularly the long-winged albatrosses and dragging them under the water. The remaining 15% died entangled in nets during shooting and hauling.
Worryingly, there is very little information available concerning the amount of numbers of birds that die as a result of trawl net activities. Estimated numbers could be insufficient due to knowledge gaps.
SaveWave wants to make an effort in offering a solution that wil benefit both seabirds and fishermen. Hopefully, SaveWave's new SeaBird Saver could be used to minimize sea bird fatalities in trawl fisheries soon.

Oh Lynn! I love this so much! What a wonderful story and you captured it beautifully. I feel like I am getting to know you and your family through your posts and there is just something infectious about Brenna's excitement! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!ReplyDelete
This little story is what Christmas magic is all about! I'm sitting her with a huge smile thinking about your sweet Brenna and her imagination! AWESOME job, Mom!!! Hugs, Terri xoxoReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful pictures!!!ReplyDelete
I had to scroll slowwwwwly to be able to enjoy the pictures and the wonderful story.ReplyDelete
I loved them both.
I do believe the magic entered your house indeed.
(I love to say "indeed". Thanks for giving me the perfect "indeed" opportunity.) Grin.
That is so funny, Lynn! I wonder how many more early morning sightings there will be before Christmas?! Your home is looking so pretty all decked out!ReplyDelete
I thought everyone sang Christmas carols at four in the morning! Brenna is so sweet I wish could reach across the miles and hug her. Of course, I'm not the one she's waking in the wee hours of the morning. LOL!ReplyDelete
Its good to hear that your tree passed muster. The rest of your decorations are just beautiful too.
I'm back in blogland with a new post about my own decorating adventures. Stop over if you get the chance.
Big hugs,
Brenna is SUPER lucky. I stayed up listening for bells for years and never even heard a peep. But that's part of what makes Christmas exciting.ReplyDelete
I love your ornament tower (for lack of a better name). It's so colorful and shiny. I'm the Cub Master for my son's Cub Scout troop, and one of our cheers is the "snow globe cheer." To do it you pretend to shake an imaginary snow globe and then say, "Ooo, aaaah, pretty." All your decorations definitely deserve a snow globe cheer.
Merry Christmas,
April from HomeHinges.com
Your house looks beautiful, you have done a great job. As for sweet Brenna, I envy her and her magic. I wish I could see Santa.ReplyDelete
Thank you for making me laugh, dear heart! That is such a funny story and I love your tongue-in-cheek humor of being such a good wife and mother! Guess we all don't succeed at doing those roles perfectly but you make it sound so funny.
Love the pictures. They are beautiful! We are in Stanford right now. More on my blog and Jud's Caring Bridge. Haven't had time to do the fun things you suggested but we are heading up north for two days to see some old friends. I am really looking forward to that time together!
P.S. We may be back for the fun in January, A little up in the air.
and there is the magic of Christmas from your precious girl ... my 'thimble bell' post today has a quote that speaks directly to sweet Brenna hearing the bell ring...makes me choke up...this time of year I am extra soft...well you know...happy tears :)ReplyDelete
I, too, am soooo glad that you passed tree inspection!ReplyDelete
What would have happened if you hadn't???
Perhaps a bribe of pie?
Great post, great decorations.
Would you like to come do my place???????
Another heart warming post.. That is why I love reading you blog.. I alway leave here with a smile on my face.. Your Christmas decorations look so beautiful..ReplyDelete
Hugs, Linda
Sweet innocence. Remember being THAT excited about Christmas? Santa never came to my house...well once on Carpenter Ave. Just ask Susie :-) Glad he liked your tree...what's not to like? I bet he went home and told his wife all about it. I know the elves were pretty excited to hear his story of the Richard's house. And the little girl named Virginia...um, I mean Brenna. Gotta love her :-)))) And Christmas.Fa la la la la, la la la la! The end....ReplyDelete
In a word....Believe!ReplyDelete

"Part of the money will be used to clear debt that the company had taken to buy land and for general business purpose two years ago from some private equity funds and builders in the city," one of the people said. Part of the proceedings will be used also to purchase land, the person added, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Reddy Veeranna's Manyata, one of the shareholders of the 110-acre Manyata Embassy Business Park in north Bengaluru, had taken loans at an interest rate of 24% from the Embassy Group and US private equity firm Blackstone.
The business park, the country's largest operational tech SEZ, was a joint venture between Bengalurubased Embassy Property Development and Reddy. In 2011, Blackstone picked a 37% stake in the property for more than Rs 1,000 crore.
Manyata has returned around Rs 360 crore to Embassy Group and Blackstone, said a second person. "Reddy still needs to pay around Rs 160 crore to Embassy Group as the company was unable to service the loan."
Veeranna owns more than 500 acres across Bengaluru. An email questionnaire sent to Edelweiss did not elicit any response, while Veeranna did not respond to multiple phone calls and text messages. The Embassy Group declined to comment on repayment of the loan.
Over the past one year or so, several builders across the country have raised significant capital from non-bank finance companies to refinance high-cost debt they have taken earlier or finish last-mile construction.
In a recent transaction, Piramal Fund Management and Clearwater Capital's NBFC Altico Capital agreed to invest Rs 725 crore in a project portfolio of Bengalurubased Century Real Estate. A part of this will be used by the builder to provide Kotak Realty Fund an exit valued atRs 375 crore from its portfolio of three projects.
Gurgaon-based Orris Infrastructure raised Rs 325 crore from IndoStar Capital, issuing unlisted non-convertible debentures to the NBFC. A part of the proceeds was used to prepay Rs 200 crore to Xander and Rs 65 crore to Religare, both of which had put in high-cost money earlier. Another company, Ghaziabadbased Saya Group, raisedRs 200 crore from Edelweiss.

The Surreal Selfie - Collaborative Book and Tumblr Page with Harvard Westlake
This collaboration was organized by Joe Medina, photography teacher at Harvard Westlake. It culminated in the publication of a beautifully designed hardcover book. Link to HW's Art Department.
"Sketchbook /Smartphone Challenge 2 : The Self Portrait " What is a self-portrait? Unlike a snapshot, it tells something about the subject. " Inspired by: Vivian Maier, Lee Friedlander, Francesca Woodman, Frida Kahlo, Duane Michaels, Albert Chong, Alex Stoddard and Phillip Schumacher."
"This photo challenge points at something deeper, to use the language of photography and dreams to reveal more about yourself, to show, as the name implies , something about your life, dreams, culture, and community using yourself as the main subject." HW asked for "creative, thoughtful, and interesting self-portraits .The photos should be honest and speak from the heart. You should convey your ideas with feeling, with spirit, with passion, with soul. The project encourages students to respond to artistic challenges that will push their creative and technical boundaries and share their work with a larger audience via Instagram and tumbler."
This smart phone project about photographing meals was HAAT's first collaboration of the school year with Harvard Westlake's photography program.
Nothing makes us feel connected quite like sharing a meal together. On September 4th at 12pm photo students and artists from around the world will sit down for a bite in unison and capture a shared experience at the exact same time. Take a photograph of yourself with your meal or just a still life of your meal and mail it back to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. These simultaneous still life's, snapshots – self-portraits of people and their foods – will then be posted online to share . Our aim is to inspire a feeling of community across geographic and cultural boundaries .
HW students used photographers Sophie Calle , Fabine Plangger and Justine Reyes as inspiration for this assignment

Weekends Only Introduces New Non-Commission Pay System
By Monda Petrinelli
ST. LOUIS, MO (August 24, 2015) — Weekends Only Furniture and Mattress has announced a permanent break from furniture industry tradition and switched its sales staff to a non-commission pay system August 14. This conversion aligns with the Weekends Only culture of providing a unique shopping experience: one dedicated to nothing but the best interest of customers.
The Weekends Only mission is to save customers money and the sales staff has always been trained to take personal responsibility for meeting customer needs.
"By switching to non-commission, it allows customers to feel even more confident that the Weekends Only sales staff is helping them find the best solutions for their needs," said Weekends Only President Lane Hamm. "We listen and are only interested in helping customers find the furniture that meets their needs. Nothing more, nothing less."
The decision to switch to a non-commission system has been in development for three years. The change was supported by customer research that consistently showed customers like a friendly and low-pressure sales approach.
The non-commission system was tested for the past year at the company's Fairview Heights, Ill. location. The store noticed an immediate change in customer interactions once customers were informed that the sales staff had one objective with each recommendation in mind: ensuring the satisfaction of the shopper.
Director of Human Resources John Wennemann said the non-commission system also creates a better working environment for employees. Using sales data, the company created a formula to calculate hourly wages to ensure, over the long haul, employees would be earning comparable income under the new system. The response from managers and sales staff has been consistently positive.
Pay starts at $11.50 per hour for a Home Furnishings Assistant. Based on their ability to match furniture with the customer's needs, the employee can be promoted to Home Furnishings Advisor and, subsequently, Home Furnishings Consultant where pay can reach as high as $24 per hour.
"We provide a living wage, with the opportunity to grow your pay based on performance, and a predictable income without a conflict of interest in selling," Wennemann said. "It's better for our customers and our employees."
Hamm added: "By committing to a living wage, rather than a commission that can vary from week to week, our sales associates have a more reliable income all through the year. This improves stability for households, allows for better planning and reduces anxiety for employees who are the primary breadwinners for their families."
Weekends Only believes happy employees can better serve happy customers.
"My vision is that Weekends Only serves as an agent for human happiness – for our associates, our customers and the community," adds Weekends Only CEO Tom Phillips. "I believe that engaged associates create engaged customers. Our unique culture is helping us create a sustainable organization of value, an enduring corporation that makes the world a better place."
Weekends Only has five locations in the St. Louis area and recently opened its first location in Indianapolis. The retailer is currently hiring in both St. Louis and Indiana.

Reading through Thomson Reuters' annual Cost Of Compliance report makes troubling reading. Compliance officers are "experiencing regulatory fatigue and overload in the face of snowballing regulations." Of the 600 compliance practitioners from financial services businesses who were surveyed, 70% expect regulators to increase their regulatory burden in the following twelve months. Given their beliefs, and the volume of regulatory change, the survey respondents are being hard-pushed to maintain compliance and data security. Worse, in their most recent corporate governance survey, Thompson Reuters found that over half the surveyed organizations knew of situations where board members had left sensitive documents in public places. Other key findings regarding risk to sensitive data:
Unsecured email: 60% of organizations never or only occasionally encrypt their board communications, and only a quarter indicated that they always do so.
Mobile devices: Private computing devices are now commonly used by most board members for board communications, but only a third of them are provided by the company itself. The remaining two thirds are BYOD devices. There has been an increase in the use of these devices for board communications. 10% of organizations reported they have had a board member whose device, containing board communications, has been lost or stolen.
A third of organizations continue to print and courier materials to board members: madness in an age when email encryption can distribute sensitive board material securely. Plus companies are not always sure that executives destroy all copies of board related materials. This is important because companies do not routinely include paper copies of documents or the electronic copies of such stored on BYOD devices in litigation holds, thus opening themselves up to legal penalties. The Cost Of Compliance report states:
Personal liability: 59 percent of respondents (53 percent in 2014) expect the personal liability of compliance officers to increase in 2015, with 15 percent expecting a significant increase.
A good approach to managing these risks and thereby reducing "regulatory fatigue" is to:

On one of my bookshelves, there's a copy of Peter Wright's memoir, Spycatcher. Published in 1987, the book spurred the then government into frenzied attempts to ban it. Those attempts were fatally undermined by the government's inability to prevent publication elsewhere – and eventually in 1988 the Law Lords ruled that the book no longer contained anything which could be classified as a secret. I got my copy during a visit to the States in 1987, early enough that I probably broke the law by bringing it back to the UK – though apparently had I declared my contraband on re-entry, customs officers would have been under no instruction to confiscate it.
Oh, how wicked I felt. That sense of mischief faded fairly rapidly as I read the book, though, and the sheer banality of much of its contents became apparent. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting enough… but to anyone brought up on espionage fiction later than the Joseph Conrad or Erskine Childers vintage, it was all pretty tame stuff. Even real life, in the form of the unfortunate Georgi Markov (assassinated with a poisoned umbrella in London, ten years earlier), outstripped most of Peter Wright's revelations about MI5's domestic counter-espionage operations. And did its publication shake our national security apparatus to its very foundations, impairing its very ability to protect us from the foreign menace? Not noticeably, no.
Wind forward two decades, and after a lengthy legal struggle, the Office for Government Commerce (OGC) has finally acceded to a request originally made in early 2005 for the "Gateway Reviews" of the ID Cards project to be made public. The wrangling over whether or not the reviews could be published went to the Information Commissioner, thence to the Information Tribunal, and ultimately to the High Court – and according to SpyBlog cost the OGC at least £120,000 in legal fees, not to mention the administrative time and effort.
Naturally I fell on the released documents in a state of high excitement, eager to see what damning findings they contained. To put it briefly, there is no smoking gun. The Gateway reviews do not contain the secret details of the ID Scheme's fatal flaw, or evidence of diabolical intent on the part of the Scheme's proponents. That's not to say they include no basis for criticism: see SpyBlog's succinct analysis here for a clear indication of some of the shortcomings revealed.
The reports do contain clear evidence that the fundamental objectives of the scheme evolved substantially between the two reviews (notably, from "Entitlement" to "Identity" cards) – but then, that much has been blatantly obvious despite, or perhaps because of, the whirl of departing and arriving Home Secretaries over the years.
One can also see the review team's concerns about the complexity of the project in organisational and technical terms, and gauge whether subsequent moves have mitigated those risks.
Finally, the first review in particular also includes revealing comments about who the scheme's principal beneficiaries are expected to be, and what level of user consent is assumed. There is no mention of the sharing of citizen data – something which is now surely an unavoidably large feature of the landscape.
None of these revelations, though, is fundamentally surprising – though it would be newsworthy if subsequent releases showed that the reports had been ignored as the policy and its implementation were taken forward.
In the Spycatcher case, arguably, far worse than anything which resulted from publication was the damage done to the Government's credibility by its frantic attempts at a ban. Its pursuit of the matter through the courts made it, and the law, look increasingly asinine.
In the Gateway Review case, the OGC has been at pains to state that its decision to abide by the High Court's decision does not set a precedent.

War of the Worlds Movie Guide
A Word Before:
Don't do these questions in sequential order and please don't feel like you have to use all of them…It could take way too much time! It's our hope that you'll pick out the 5-6 questions that will benefit your group, figure out where you want to go and use these questions as a springboard. This is a freebie, so use it and pass it on—Just tell everyone where you got it….
Optional Activity:
In 1938 a man named Orson Wells created a production of War of The Worlds as a radio drama. To get a realistic feel for the production, Wells played it as if it were a news bulletin. Thousands of people, those who were not listening to Charlie McCarthy (ask your grandparents about that one) believed the earth was under attack. Some left their homes. Some went out hunting. There's a story that a man in Grover's Mills, Pennsylvania took a shot at the local water tower thinking it to be an alien spacecraft. Contrary to popular belief no one died or was killed as a result of the broadcast. Reporters began making reports up after Orson Wells seemed to think it was funny that so many people were fooled.
To create the sound of the alien spacecraft opening (on live radio) Wells ran a microphone to a nearby men's room and placed the mike in a toilet. At a given signal a stagehand slowly unscrewed a mason jar in the bowl. Laugh if you want…the effect was highly believable. As an activity send your youth into the church armed with tape recorders and have them create their own science fiction type sound effect. Be sure they don't tell anyone what they actually did for the sound until afterward.
Look online for a cool picture of the earth from space. Print this out in coaster sized copies and be ready to hand these out to your students. If you can't print out enough for everyone, print out just one to use as a visual aid.
Genesis 9:18-17
Psalms 78
Romans 8:28-39
1 Corinthians 13:13
The Questions:
Start off by reading the actual introduction to the novel War Of The Worlds. Don't tell the group right away that's what you are doing.
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable.
After you read the passage from the book tell the group that the work was written in 1898. If you simply switch the word nineteenth to twenty-first the passage is completely relevant.
QUESTION 1: How does it make you feel that the same words can apply so accurately to our lives today? How are we too caught up in the "various concerns" of our lives? Give a few examples.
Read Psalm 78
QUESTION 2: How does this Psalm make you think of the story in War of the Worlds?
QUESTION 3: This movie differs from other alien invasion movies in that it does not focus on the great battle. It zeros in on one dysfunctional family and how they cope with the crisis. Tom Cruise is not the sly smirking hero he often plays. At the beginning of the film he's a pretty lousy dad. How may families do you know who are the classic Dad-Mom-Kids-Puppy picture? What was the biggest crisis your family has ever gone through? How did you survive? How does crisis change us?
QUESTION 4: In many ways Ray's children are the grown-ups and he is the child. How does that change by the time we reach the end of the story? How have your parents changed since you were small?
QUESTION 5: Stephen Spielberg made a little film called ET: The Extra-Terrestrial a few years back. How are these two films different? What does it say about who we were then and who we are now?
Spielberg also made Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. The first time we hear the alien ship in that movie sounds a lot like the "blast" we hear from the ship in War of the Worlds. Again, what does this say about who we were then and who we are now? What does it take to get your attention?
QUESTION 6: In the Bible the word Rachel (The little girl's name) means "ewe" or "girl sheep". Do you think there is any significance there? How about when Ray leaves all the others to go back after the one "lost sheep".
QUESTION 7: Who is the most Christ-like character in the movie?
QUESTION 8: There are several scenes in the movie that seem to recall September 11th. (The wall covered in pictures of the missing. The flags hanging from the row houses.) It is a seemingly ordinary day and suddenly everything is changed forever. We watch the destruction of the neighborhood the same way we watched the towers fall.
How has life changed for the characters in the story? How has life changed for the world? How has your life changed since September 11th?
QUESTION 9: Could you die for someone you loved?
QUESTION 10: Could you let someone else die to save your family? (Ray let the bridge of the ferry close trapping the woman he knew on the outside).
QUESTION 11: In the original story written by H.G. Wells, Tim Robbins' character invites Ray to stay and help dig a tunnel and start a new world underground in the subways and sewers. Ray leaves him alone to dig his tunnel. Why do you think the filmmakers made the change? What did it add to the story this way? Could you do what Ray did to save his family?
QUESTION 12: Ray had to make a choice to let his son go and save his daughter from the well-meaning couple who tried to take her with them. Why do you think it's so hard for parents to "let go?" How hard would it be to let your son or daughter go off to fight in a war? Do you think Ray could have let Robbie go if he had not seen him rescue the people on the boat? Why do you think Ray looked so amazed at his son's action on the ferry?
QUESTION 13: In that scene, who are you most like right now in life? Explain your answer:
The well-meaning couple
QUESTION 14: Tim Robbins' character says "The ones who survive are the ones who keep their eyes open." The ones who keep their heads are the ones who survive? Do you think this is true? Do you think it was true for him?
QUESTION 15: The only lullaby that Ray knows is the Beach Boys song Little Duce Coupe (a duce coupe is a really hot car). The song includes the line "If she had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly."
Rachel sings the song Hush-a-Bye Mountain. This song was in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang another story about a flying car.
Why do you think the filmmakers used these two references? Ray and Rachel may not be as far apart as we originally think. What are some ways that you are like your mother or father? Has it ever been pointed out to you "You're just like your dad/mom?" Talk about that–
QUESTION 16: Rachel has a splinter in her finger and she refuses to let Ray take it out. She says her body will push it out when it's ready? How does this little scene play out in the grand scheme of the story?
QUESTION 17: In the movie people seemed to be heading toward the church without thinking about it. Why do you think so many people wait until things hit rock bottom before finally turning to God for help?
QUESTION 18: Why do you think the filmmakers made a point of wrecking the church building? They could have used a supermarket or a school but they chose a church.
QUESTION 19: One of Ray's friends says, "God's pissed off." Do you think that was true? Do you think God gets "angry" and takes it out on everyone?
QUESTION 20: There were some comments made a few years back that the hurricanes that destroyed so much of Florida were sent by God to punish people for their behavior. Do you think that was true? Do you think God would send aliens to "teach us a lesson?"
QUESTION 21: Do you think God "allowed" the aliens to destroy so much of the world? Do you think God "allows" bad things to happen to us?
QUESTION 22: There's an old children's lesson about God, it says He made the rose and the devil made the thorns. Do you think this is true? We have a tendency to blame all the bad things in our world on "Satan".
Read Romans 8:28-39
The scriptures tell us that God does not cause bad things to happen but takes ALL THINGS both good and bad and makes them work together for his purposes.
QUESTION 23: Does verse 36 sound like Tim Robbins's speech about "This is not an invasion. This is an extermination." What is the scriptures answer to that notion?
QUESTION 24: Read 1 Corinthians 13:13
Give an example of Faith in the movie.
Give an example of Hope in the movie.
Give an example of Love in the movie.
QUESTION 25: In the final scene of the movie Ray does not run lovingly into the arms of his ex-wife. He stands far away. Talk about what you think happens to the family in the next ten minutes after the camera faded to black. What happened in the next ten days? Ten years?
QUESTION 26: God was angry once and destroyed the earth by flooding it, except for one family and some animals, but He promised he would never do that again. (Genesis 6-8) How do you think God feels when he looks down now?
If you have the pictures of the earth, pass them out now.
QUESTION 27 People in Noah's time could not have conceived that they could see the earth like this, but to us it's commonplace. From this distance the aliens could not have conceived the problems they would run into. From this distance you wouldn't know the problems we face. Read Genesis 9:8-17. God's message after the destruction of the world is not one of condemnation but one of hope. How could you apply this verse to the final moments of the movie War of the Worlds?
QUESTION 28 What do you think the narrator means when he says "Man does not live or die in vain." Is it true? If it is, what are the broader implications of that idea?
QUESTION 29: The scene in which Ray opens the door to the world covered in the red weed is eerily like The Wizard of Oz. The camera sits behind the shoulder of the character opening the door and we see out the gray house into a world of bizarre color. What do you think the filmmakers were trying to say, if anything, with this?
The final narration says that man has "earned" his place, that it was "God's wisdom." In the story, Ray is told that the aliens were already here. That the machines had to be in place millions of years ago, yet God was in place long before that and created a system that allowed man to grow and adapt and "earn" his place here. We adapt as humans. We will survive. We will continue. We believe in a God made of love and love hopes all things, believes all things and endures all things.
Pray with me:
God, there are challenges coming our way that we can't even see yet. We cannot prepare for them. We just have to be ready when they hit us. Don't leave us, God. We don't ask you to solve all our problems for us but we do ask you to be with us as we face them. Give us hope. Give us faith. Give us love. Amen.

UTV considering local radio sale?
The company owns national commercial radio station TalkSPORT, has interests in DAB digital radio, operating or jointly operating local DAB multiplexes in several areas and is part of a consortium bidding for the Digital 2 national DAB multiplex licence. But in recent months, the company has been throwing a lot of its resources into its Irish operations and national station TalkSPORT.
In a statement, the company said: "The Directors of UTV continue to manage the overall group in the best interest of its shareholders and confirm that UTV is currently assessing the options for its UK independent local radio stations which may or may not lead to the disposal of some or all of these stations. For the avoidance of doubt, any disposal would not include talkSPORT, Sport Magazine, talkSPORT International or any of UTV's Irish radio stations.
"A further announcement will be made in due course, as appropriate."
UTV local radio stations include various Signal branded stations in Stoke and the West Midlands, Peak FM in Derbyshire, Juice in Liverpool, The Wave in Swansea and Pulse in West Yorkshire. While Signal in Stoke faces relatively little competition from other commercial radio stations thanks to its position in the 'mush-zone' between radio transmitters in the Midlands and the North West, many of its other stations face stiff competition from rival companies.
The stations may be of interest to rivals including Bauer Media and UKRD. Global Radio, who already had to shed direct legal control over regional stations in Wales, the Midlands and Northern England due to competition concerns would likely face further regulatory hurdles if it bid for the stations.

Apparently even San Francisco has its limits, and the Critical Mass debacle the other day seems to have pushed the limits button. How else to account for this fiery editorial at the notoriously liberal SF Chron, decrying the CM phenomenon:
THE VOLATILE clash between the Critical Mass cyclists and a Redwood City family in a minivan was all too predictable. The only surprise is that something like this hadn't happened sooner. It was a blessing that no one was seriously injured in the confrontation.
For too long, the pack of rude and sanctimonious bicyclists who call themselves "Critical Mass" have been tolerated in San Francisco. The police have looked the other way and elected officials have been afraid to confront a determined political force in this city.
But as the flood of responses to a SFGate.com blog indicate, plenty of residents and visitors have been gritting their teeth as Critical Mass bicyclists flood the streets and run traffic lights with impunity, and then respond with hostility to any pedestrians or motorists who dare to challenge their demonstrations.
It's time to make them respect the law. The assault on Susan Ferrando's minivan, with two terrified daughters inside, is only going to escalate tensions on the street. There should be zero tolerance for such lawlessness.
The more militant of the bicycle advocates fail to recognize that they are undermining their cause with their open provocation. Yes, San Francisco is precarious terrain for bicyclists, with its hills, narrow streets and concentration of people and cars in 49 square miles. It's also a difficult city for motorists, pedestrians and the many residents who must rely on the Municipal Railway to get around.
The way to make this compact city work for all modes of transportation is for San Franciscans to share the streets with civility, humility and adherence to the rules of the road. The Critical Mass rides contain none of the above.

Training The Importance Of Good Training
Training Is Important
I was at work yesterday and I was having as good a time as you can have when you're at work. Until the boss came up to me and asked me to go on checkout. I told him I wasn't comfortable doing that as I hadn't received enough training. Typical bloody boss wouldn't listen to me and made me go on anyway. Said he would be right there with me to help me out.
Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I got on the wanker left me there. Needless to say things went downhill from there. The customer didn't want some stuff and I didn't know how to remove them from the total. Then the credit card wouldn't take and I didn't know what to do. I hate not knowing what to do and looking inept in front of others. I did the only thing I could do in that situation and I blamed it on the company for not training me properly so I could provide her with the good service she deserved.
After logging off the boss saw me and asked me how it went. I told him it was crap and if he ever put me through that again I'd be looking for another job. I used to work for this company many years ago and in those days their training was exceptional. Not so these days.

Chief Minister Harish Rawat has asked the Centre to relax the norms and include Uttarakhand in its ambitious project of setting up 100 smart cities across the country.
"In view of Uttarakhand's unique geographical condition, its environmental concerns and scattered population, the norms need to be relaxed so that the hill state could also be included in the ambitious scheme," Rawat told Union Urban Development Secretary Shankar Agarwal at a meeting here on Sunday.
Seeking relaxation in at least six parameters set by the Centre for inclusion in the scheme, Rawat submitted a letter addressed to Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu in this regard to Agarwal.
The chief minister also moved a proposal to the Centre for developing Haridwar in Garhwal and Almora in Kumaon region as heritage and cultural cities.
He also sought immediate release of funds from the Centre for urban development projects already cleared for Uttarakhand.
Pointing out that in some cases, things have not moved beyond the project appraisal stage, Rawat demanded clearance to such projects at the earliest.

Just finished The Wind From Nowhere by J. G. Ballard.
Basically a strange wind comes out of the blue and keeps on accelerating until its travelling about 250 mph, the people having to build shelters underground. This is Ballard's first novel from 1961. I've read in the past two of his books from the 60s but this is quite a simple book compared to say The Drowned World. I felt this book concentrated too much on the characters- I'd have like to have seen the environment explored further. And then at the close of the book it just ends!
Not bad but lacking depth.

Tiny Pleads With T.I.: 'Come Back To Me, Baby!'
It looks like Tiny might be changing her tune.
Just two months after filing for divorce from T.I., the reality star has taken to social media to re-profess her love for her former hubby.
The 41-year-old can be heard pleading for TIP back in a Facebook live video captured by The Shade Room. "Come back," baby" she says, adding, "He need to come back to me, baby. He need to come on back to me. I'm where I'm [supposed] to be at."
Tiny filed for divorce in December, citing "irretrievably broken" as her reasoning. It's been said that the 41-year-old pulled the plug on her marriage of six years after she'd finally reached her breaking point with T.I.
Maybe, just maybe, the duo has another shot at love. What do you think? Sound off in the comments below!

I know Lu Corfield has been cast as a Molestown Madame, but today, the good people at Winteriscoming.net posted this. I think there is something strange about this. First of all, nothing is mentioned about her role on episode 3, and second of all, when you visit Lu's imdb page , you'll see nothing is mentioned about participating in Game of Thrones.
And if you look at her photo, and put a photo of Michelle's next to her, you… well I…. well, you make your own conclusions:
Could Lu be playing Stoneheart? I know I'm obsessed about seeing her as soon as possible, but but… come on! Could be. No?
Whatcha think?
Edit: Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Methinks someone that knows what goes down on e3 has confirmed it IS the madame.
My quest for Stoneheart continues!

Build A Better Life
While wood and steel make for strong homes, the best homes are the ones built with heart. We recognize that our homes are a reflection of ourselves, and of our experiences and the people we have loved.
This is our legacy.
Our homes are an expression of the knowledge we have about how people want to live. For us they are individual works of art for the world to see and enjoy.
We hold ourselves to a higher standard. We demand more from ourselves. We care about how the home looks, feels and lives and why a particular piece of land was chosen. We care about the relationships with our craftsmen, our lenders, our neighbors. And we expect from them what we expect from ourselves – a belief that this process is as much about building a better life as it is about building a better home.
We've spent decades building homes and became a publicly traded company (NYSE: NWHM) to help fuel our growth while remaining committed to our roots. Homebuilding gives us a profound sense of fulfillment as we strive everyday to provide better environments, contribute to better schools, support communities with a sense of social consciousness – all with a level of integrity, respect, and compassion for the world in which we live.
This is The New Home Company.Read Less
