Sidewalk can be a perfect, long and mellow righthander, or an angry fast tube full of shut-down sections. This spot breaks down a natural rock spit, is ideally exposed to the NNE, and is a lovely longboard wave when small. Often bumpy and angry looking - it is one to check while passing and you might just get lucky.
Salangadeke Island may have some more waves on the shallow fringe of reef on the southern tip but currents and swell filtering are likely to be high.

My name is Lou, and I am obsessed with greenhouses. Visiting a garden, it will be the first place I gravitate towards. The rich earthy smell of freshly toiled pots. Tomatoes hanging from vines, exotic fruits like lemons or nectarines with their heady scent offer another worldy essence to this glassed heaven.
I love the splendour of Victorian glasshouses with tall reaching palms and damp misty air. Their white painted iron work and leaded windows. I also love simple greenhouses bought from the local DIY centre. Rows of terracotta pots, and hand written labels in black sharpie pen. Gloves lying in wait and a fork leaning against the work bench – the radio tuned to the archers. Tools of the trade for the green fingered.
Follow my obsession on Pinterest.

Kristine Corona and her team at Victory University Belt in Manila, Philippines brings us this junky vitruvian man stage.
This series was called BLUE PRINT. Since they couldn't make the texture of a real blueprint, they built their own feel with ribbon and various elements. They started by making a grid on their back wall with the ribbon, then added real objects like a ladder, hard hat, paints, table, piece of ply wood. The they used styro for the cartoon-like vitruvian man.

Wax Removal
For removal of wax on carpet place ice in plastic bag and lay over the candle wax, letting it freeze. Break off and remove as much wax as possible. Then using a damp, clean, white towel (old), place an iron, set to medium hot, press down, continue to check area for wax stain removal.
Do burn white wax candles, because if spilled, colored or scented candles the wax can be removed but the color stain may remain.
I cannot tell you how many homes I have seen with colored stains on carpet around wall outlets because of scented plug-ins. Make sure they do not leak, because they are heated oils and the stain cannot be removed from carpet.
Here is a quick tip that should help you with minor wax stains.
Put a cloth onto the dry wax and hook up an iron and go at it! Hold the iron onto the cloth and the wax comes right into the cloth.
Make sure you don't use a cloth that has color in it, it will bleed onto the carpet.
Your carpet will be soft and free of all wax.

premature wear to carpets.
Traffic lanes can become a permanent eyesore
that can't be effectively cleaned that result in the
carpet is discarded long before its time. This is a costly and unnecessary mistake.

maintenance of the carpet can prevent this
premature loss of value.

Energy is coming back to life, and the paper is flowing in Schlumberger.
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker monitoring program detected the purchase of 5,000 January 92.50 calls for $2.08 and the sale of an equal number of January 97.50 calls for $0.65. Volume was below open interest at the lower strike so there are two possible explanations of the activity.
One is that the investor owns shares and had sold the 92.50s as part of a covered-call strategy . He or she may have then adjusted the position higher, raising the eventual exit price by $5.
Alternatively, both halves of the trade may have been opened. In that case it was a bullish call spread with the potential to earn 250 percent if the stock reaches $97.50 or higher by expiration. Either way, they paid $1.43 and are looking for higher prices. (See our Education section)
SLB is up 0.29 percent to $90.71 in afternoon trading and has risen 29 percent in the last year. The Franco-American oil-servicing company has pulled back to its 50-day moving average and is pausing near its previous long-term highs from 2011. Today's trader is looking for a breakout levels last seen before the market crashed in 2008.
Other energy-related names have also been active recently, including Newfield Exploration and W&T Offshore .
Total option volume is twice the daily average so far in the session, according to the Heat Seeker. Calls outnumber puts by more than 5 to 1.

Sometimes it is fine, really, almost totally fine. And other parents and other kids have it so much worse, and really it is fine, and probably totally normal, and developmentally appropriate or at least he will likely grow out of it but really nothing to worry about. Except that maybe it is, something to worry about I mean, but how am I to know, I'm not an expert.
And that, my friends, is borderline. And we are, so many of us, trained not to raise a stink for anything less than egregious. We mind our manners. We wait and see. But sometimes even the most reticent among us have to stand up and say, or really, stand up and yell, wait, this isn't right. This is my kid, and this isn't right.
Which is why Owen - challenging, trying, sweeter than a chocolate factory Owen - has both a full speech evaluation and an (almost unbelievably unrelated, but I assure you that it is) ENT appointment to determine whether he needs to have his adenoids removed coming up in the next month. And Owen loves teachers, so the speech thing is no problem, but man does he hate doctors, bringers of throat cultures and shots.
Poor thing. But I'm the mom, and something, somewhere, isn't quite right. Not quite. Borderline. Sorry, baby, but it is my job to stand up and yell about it.

Hello Gurus
I would like to know the industry standards for archiving the data on say monthly basis considering that it may have to recovered any time later .
What is the best way to do it???
I come up with one idea.
The steps
1. Create temporary tables with the logical set of database(tables) to be archived.
2. Export them
3. Import only data when required.
My manager does not like the idea & he claims that there must be some industry standard way for doing it. May be a third party tool.

text: How to Evenly Heat and Cool Your Home Posted October 6, 2017 A good heating and cooling system means your house will always be the perfect temperature, right? That's not always the case. Even with the best HVAC system, you may discover that your space isn't evenly heated or cooled—especially on the warmest and coolest Richardson days. That's because there's several items that go into the equation. Your registers, how your family runs your HVAC and other personal preferences can impact the temperatures you feel throughout your space. The team at Hammack Service Company are here to explain some things that you can adjust to more evenly heat and cool your home without calling for heating and cooling service. Check for Closed, Blocked, or Dirty Registers Check your rooms for blocked registers and air returns that are covered by curtains or furniture, or that have acquired debris and dirt dust and dirt on them. Blocked registers can cause a problem with uneven heating and cooling. If a register is blocked, the warm or cool air will be redirected to other rooms leaving certain rooms at undesirable temperatures. Make Sure You Have Enough Insulation If your home doesn't have sufficient insulation in the attic, you may be losing heated air throughout the winter and allowing hot outside air through the summer through the top of your home. A poorly or inadequately insulated attic could end with major temperature differences on separate levels of your home. Make sure you have sufficient insulation and that it's the right kind of insulation for your home and the environment in Richardson. Keep Your HVAC's Fan Running Lots of people keep their HVAC fan set to "Auto" and believe this means the fan will only run when required. What actually happens is that the fan only runs when the heating or cooling kicks on. By leaving your fan in the "On" position, you can help keep cooler and warmer air circulating around your home constantly and, therefore, keep the temperature more even throughout your space. Check Your Home and Your Ducts for Leaks For ducts that have leaks or holes in them, they could spell trouble for your HVAC system. They'll have to operate harder to do their job, and some rooms could end up hotter or colder than other rooms. The same is true for air leaks by windows and doors in certain rooms. Luckily, repairing most air leaks is is fairly easy. Consider a Zoning System Another thing you can do to fix how evenly your home is heated and cooled is have your existing HVAC system zoned. It's absolutely more of a long-term project and a greater investment than other approaches of heating and cooling your home evenly, but it gives you ultimate control. If you would like more information about zoning options for your home, Hammack Service Company is here to help. If you have additional questions about evenly cooling or heating your home, call us at 972-351-8874. Or, if you think you may need heating and cooling service, we can be of help. Back To Blog

Blake Lively Says She Wants Lots of Babies. We Think She'd Be A Great Mom!
Sure Blake Lively is Gossip Girl's resident wild child, but in real life the 23-year-old is already thinking about starting a family, and is planning what she'll do when she's done acting.
"I want babies. Lots of babies," Blake Lively reveals in the October issue of Allure. Considering that the 23-year-old is in a long-term relationship with her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley, 23, could she have already found the ideal father for her kids? "I don't comment on my relationships," says Blake, who is also starring on the big screen in The Town, which opens this weekend. But Penn hasn't been shy about sharing his secrets for keeping Blake happy. "Passion is number one and trust is number two," says Penn. "You need to start with a passionate connection, and if you can maintain it and cultivate it, that's most important. Then trust can develop. I have both now, and it's been an incredible thing," he adds. They totally would have adorable babies, wouldn't they?
Once she becomes a mother, Blake wants to step away from the cameras and in to a kitchen instead. "I want to have a brunch place, a bakery, and a Southern restaurant because my family's from Georgia," says the skilled cook.

Your Way Of Life
At Silver Stream Healthcare Group we place emphasis on key areas which aim to improve your overall wellbeing and quality of life.
Autonomy and Independence
We encourage you to exercise choice and control over your way of life within the home, and strive to enable you to retain your autonomy and independence in accordance with your wishes.
Our care practices reflect a person centred approach to care. We encourage individuality and self-sufficiency, and strive to promote you as an equal partner in your care.
To promote resident choice:
- Our policies provide clear communication and information processes to facilitate your right to choice.
- Our care practices enable and protect your autonomy and independence.
- You are offered choice to participate in recreational activities.
- You are offered the opportunity to bring your personal possessions to the home.
- You are offered choice to interact socially with staff, other residents an visitors.
- Your choices relating to your preferred term of address are respected.
- You may handle your own finances for as long as you wish, and are able to do so.
Privacy and Dignity
All of our care practices are person centred and designed to respond to a range of individual needs and preferences. We strive to ensure that your privacy, dignity and modesty are respected at all times.
We place emphasis on maintaining your social contact and encourage you and your family to become involved in the home's community and activities of daily life, provided you are happy to do so.
We respect your wish to spend time alone.
We ensure that staff are conscious of your need for privacy and respect your choices in relation to entering your bedroom and providing assistance when you are using the bath or shower room.
We strive to ensure that your privacy and dignity is respected whist receiving assistance with personal care, including dressing and undressing.
We respect your right to privacy during examinations by healthcare professionals and through discretion when discussing medical conditions or treatment needs.
It is understood that lapses are unacceptable, even when staff are working under pressure. If you feel your privacy and dignity is being compromised then it is important that you let a member of your care team, or someone you feel comfortable with know. Our open door policy is conducive to ensuring that your issues are recognised and responded to within the shortest possible time frame.
One of the key tenets that drives all of our efforts is resident choice. We strive to provide you with choice in your care and your way of life, where possible.
Adopting the principles of person centred care we speak with you, and your family and friends, to compile an accurate representation of your individual preferences for healthcare, social care, social contact, personal development, leisure, living environment and daily routine.
This information allows us to get to know you as a person, rather than a collection of medical symptoms, moving away from a clinical medical model of care toward a greater of responsiveness to your social care needs.
To promote choice it is important that you:
• Have choices regarding your care and care planning.
• Have choices regarding when to rise and retire.
• Have choices in regarding you diet and the food you eat.
• Have choices regarding exercising and taking part in activities.
• Have choices regarding who has access to your personal information.
• Have choices regarding your finances.
Once comprehensive information has been collected and included in your care plan an assessment tool is used to determine your wellbeing against the principles of person centred care.
The assessment measures your quality of life in the residential care environment. Based on the outcome of the assessment, measures may be put in place to ensure that your needs and being met, with a view to continuously improving your wellbeing during your stay.
These measures may include additional staff hours, training, an individually tailored activities programme, introduction of assistive equipment or additional support and assistance from your Care Team.
Way Of Life
We continuously strive to ensure that your routines of daily life, and activities, are flexible and varied to suit your expectations, preferences, previous interests and your capabilities as outlined in your Care Plan.

More than 700 posters for the Out in Africa Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in Cape Town, South Africa were "systematically" removed from lamp posts and buildings over a two-day period.
"Launched in 1994 to celebrate the constitution prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, the festival is on at the Nu Metro V&A waterfront until Sunday. Out in Africa South African Gay and Lesbian Film Festival director Nodi Murphy suspects the 'two-day systematic removal of the 700 posters' had been carried out by fundamentalist religious or right-wing groups. Murphy said she hoped to see the vandals 'in the court of law, with them doing community service at a gay and lesbian project'. She said the organisers had been advised to lodge a complaint so that they could receive permission to view CCTV footage of where many of the posters had been. The office of the executive mayor of Cape Town approved and paid R32 000 for the posters, Murphy said: 'It's their money that's been wasted and I can't imagine them being too happy. I'll be in their office tomorrow discussing the matter.' She believed the festival had helped to promote tolerance. 'I kept thinking that there was an end to my work and that people have come to tolerate gays and lesbians. I don't know why there has been this upsurge (in homophobia) all of a sudden. I think it's because we're an easy target. When there's fear in the world its easier to go after a minority group.'"
The posters were created by local artists Toby Attwell and Quinton Bruton. Murphy said the posters were one of the few means the festival could advertise and there had been many messages praising the design.
The Independent Online reports Murphy lodged a complaint and asked Metro Police to view CCTV surveillance footage. She received only a single fax message: "No footage available."

Rather than start 2012 with Grand Resolutions that (despite good intentions) would soon be broken, this year my challenge is to implement one new habit a month.
When there are so many areas that you want to change, it is hard to limit yourself to just one at a time. But seeking perfectionism often paralyzes any action. Choosing one habit, committing to it, and actually doing it, will pay much better dividends in the end. (At least so I hope!)
My habit for January was simple: get dressed before breakfast. January is already at an end. Can you believe it? It's time to check in with a progress report.
With a few exceptions, I have actually carried through on the habit. (It's quite the difficult task, don't you think? Haha!) Only twice (on weekends) did I really lounge around in my pajamas and both days felt so much less productive. In fact, not being disciplined to get dressed those two days was incredible motivation for the rest of the month.
This one habit has made such a difference! I have been shocked at how much more productive my day feels when I simply spend two minutes to get dressed before the morning rush begins.
As Crystal, from Money Saving Mom, said, discipline begets discipline. The benefits of choosing to not procrastinate (even on something as simple as getting dressed) have spilled over to the rest of the day.
- My children appreciate the fact that I look nice (my toddler comments daily, "you earrings pitty, Mama!")
- My morning are more productive
- My brain feels less cluttered
- And, if the UPS guy happens to deliver a package at 9, I can actually answer the door!

Macro indicators continue to ensure growth in the healthcare real estate sector, according to Cushman & Wakefield Atlanta's Healthcare Practice Group. As the population who requires healthcare services increases (Americans age 65 and up totaled 49 million in 2016) and the insured coverage rate expands, medical office building (MOB) inventory is strained nationwide. In Metro Atlanta, the year-over-year vacancy rate has decreased from 14.0% to 12.5%, which is well below this city's historical average.
As rental rates increase, the difference between rates for existing MOBs and those required for new construction narrows. As a result, we predict that the number of new construction starts will grow over the next 24 months, providing expansion opportunities for both private and hospital-owned physician groups.
With the anticipated new MOB inventory and possible relocation of many practices to these offerings, we believe the vacancy rate for Atlanta MOBs will maintain its current downward trend in the near term. However, we anticipate a slowing or stabilization of the vacancy rate for late 2018 thru 2020. As practices relocate to the newer buildings, existing buildings will be backfilled with those practices who are more sensitive to the growing occupancy costs the current market demands.

Cardinals beat Astros 8-1
HOUSTON – Tyler Greene hit a career-high two homers and drove in four runs, Adam Wainwright continued his dominance of the Astros and the St. Louis Cardinals got an 8-1 win over Houston on Sunday.
The victory breaks a season-long five-game winning streak for the Astros and ends a three-game skid for the Cardinals.
Allen Craig also homered for St. Louis, getting things going with a two-run shot in the first inning.
Greene's two-run home run in the fourth pushed the lead to 6-0 and his solo homer in the eighth made it 8-1.
Wainwright (2-3) allowed seven hits and one run with seven strikeouts in seven innings. He improved to 10-1 in 17 career appearances against the Astros — his most wins against any team.
Houston starter J.A. Happ (2-2) allowed six hits and a season-high six runs — five earned — in five innings.
Greene entered the game with eight hits in 18 games this season.
His performance on Sunday, where he finished 3 for 3 with a walk, doubled the RBI total he had entering the game.
Carlos Lee and Jed Lowrie hit consecutive singles in the fourth inning before Travis Buck grounded into a force out that left Lowrie out at second. A wild pitch allowed Lee to score to make it 6-1.
Greene walked and stole second base in the sixth inning before scoring on a two-out single by Rafael Furcal.
Matt Holliday walked in the first before Craig's two-out homer, which bounced high on the wall above the Crawford Boxes in left field, gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead.
The Cardinals added a run in the second on an RBI double by Greene to make it 3-0.
Carlos Beltran walked to start the third inning. He was out at second on a fielder's choice on a grounder by Holliday. Holliday, who tripped leaving the plate, reached second on an error by Jose Altuve. A double by Craig sent Holliday home to push the lead to 4-0.
Jay robbed pinch-hitter Justin Maxwell of a hit with a nifty catch while sliding to his knees near the wall in left center field in the fifth inning. Brian Bogusevic one-upped him in the seventh when he denied David Freese of a home run when he jumped and reached back into the stands in right field for the catch.
Houston's Jordan Schafer went 0 for 4 to end his streak of reaching safely in 25 straight games to start the season. The mark ties a franchise record which was also reached by Denis Menke in 1969.
NOTES: St. Louis 1B Lance Berkman, on the 15-day disabled list with a pulled left calf, experienced some discomfort when he ran on Friday, but felt better when he ran again on Sunday. "I want to get to where I can't even feel it at all and it's not there yet," he said. "But it's a marked improvement over two days ago. I'm going to try to run again (Monday) and try to push it a little bit more." ... Sunday was Altuve's 22nd birthday.

On the second floor it was interesting to see a large Mandarake receiving area where people come to sell them their old books and collectibles. Quite an operation they have here. I've heard people say that some of the stores here have closed, but it did seem pretty lively when I visited and there was more than enough to keep us there for hours.

Soltius is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build a dedicated SAP Cloud practice, which it will launch end of October.
"As the benefits of the cloud continue to grow and in many cases out-perform on-premise solutions for some New Zealand businesses, Soltius has decided it's time to move beyond the database level of SAP implementations and provide a dedicated cloud offering," says Nick Mulcahy, Soltius CEO.
"Soltius has a wealth of SAP experience and by working with AWS we can now offer an integrated infrastructure layer to provide a more comprehensive solution for our customers."
Mulcahy says that as New Zealand's leading SAP implementation partner, it makes sense for Soltius to leverage its experience and market credibility to build an AWS Cloud practice specialising in the migration of SAP environments to the AWS Cloud.
"Having already helped one of our SAP installed customers move from on-premise to the AWS Cloud platform, the new practice is already well underway."
"The great thing about cloud computing is that you don't need to make large upfront investments in hardware and then spend a lot of time and money managing it," says Mulcahy in a statement.
"Instead, you provision only the computing resources you need to power your latest bright idea or operate your IT department. You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use. From a business investment standpoint, it makes perfect sense."

Excess stockpiles of PC microprocessors and core logic chipsets caused surplus semiconductor inventories in the global electronics supply chain to rise more than expected in the second quarter, according to research firm iSuppli. However, iSuppli is not raising any alarm bells at this time because the inventory rise in 2004 was a widespread phenomenon, while the current run-up in stockpiles mainly is limited to Intel, noted the firm.

If sourced correctly timber is one of the most sustainable raw materials in the world. That's why we take sustainability seriously and only use timber that is chosen carefully from managed forests in Europe and North America. We never use any timbers that originate from tropical forests or rain forests. The timber suppliers we use abide to PEFC, FSC and Forests Forever.
We take great care to design products that will endure the test of time and wear gracefully. We believe in repair instead of discard that's why the majority of our furniture is made using solid timber. Our veneered furniture has solid wood edges that help protect it and make it easier to mend if damaged. The oiled surfaces also make it easier to renovate thereby extending its useable life and ensuring that it can be passed on to future generations.
Andrew Carpenter's designs have previously been selected for sustainable design exhibitions by 'Redesign' in London and 'Haute Green' at the International Furniture Fair in New York.

As a parent, it was important for me to know that I have options when it comes to vaccine choice. In my decision to vaccinate or not I figured it best to know my rights in order to make the correct choices for my children.
A lot of parents, like me, may decide they don't want to give all the so-called 'recommended vaccines.' However, many are surprised that they can actually decide whether their child has one, some or even none of the vaccinations that are endorsed and enforced upon them.
First and foremost, it is you who are responsible for the health of your children. Don't let anyone try to coerce you into believing you do not have control here. It is still your decision to make a vaccine choice.
Who is going to be the one do deal with the issues and aftermath of vaccinating should your child suffer a dramatic and tragic reaction? You are! Sure, doctors may be compassionate, but they are not taking the blame here nor are they going to take any personal involvement.
You will more likely than not be told it is simply 'collateral damage' in the overall picture to keep diseases at bay.
Be informed and consider that some vaccines obviously represent more of a threat to a child's body. Not to say that all vaccines are not toxic, but for argument's sake there are some know to have more adverse affects than others.
It seems that long-term risks are mostly unknown, thus many parents tend to make vaccine choices based on what they have learned about short-term reactions that have been caused.
For instance, did you know that the pertussis, measles, and rubella vaccines tend to cause more immediate reactions than other? But hepatitis and polio vaccines can result in serious illness, too.
Do a bit of research and you will discover that the pertussis vaccine is avoided the most. This is probably because of the reports of horrific reactions including death, epilepsy, and retardation. And consider that many foreign countries have dumped the pertussis vaccine.
This alone had me scared! Why would our country continue to use a vaccine that the rest of the world has abandoned? I will stand my ground and stay concerned about possible reactions from vaccinating my children regardless of the denial coming from the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries.
Thankfully, I have learned that I can pick and choose from the list of recommend vaccines. Also, that I can refuse all of them based on my own individual family's needs and eye-opening research.
You may decide that some diseases may be more of a threat to your child that you are willing to risk the adverse effects of the vaccine. Just know it is your choice. Some parents who refuse every other vaccine choose to give one or two specific shots.
For example, tetanus is a commonly given vaccine among parents who refuse the others. This is one that has been known to have fewer reactions than others. And it prevents against a life-threatening situation.
Some parents travel extensively to areas of the world where polio still exist. This may be cause for considering giving that specific vaccine even knowing that polio doesn't exist in their home country.
No matter the reasons you may have for vaccinating or not, it is important to know your rights. Having a vaccine choice means you remain in control of your child's health.

My job was to draw caricatures of people and turn them into monkeys! Not ONE complaint about exaggerations today and yesterday!
I worked with another very talented caricature artist, Marlene Kryza (http://www.marlenekryza.com/) who worked one side of the booth/space/area while Worked the other end, and boy was I glad she was there! pretty soon we were up to our elbows and eyeballs with many adoring fans, who literally spilled into the booth to get drawn, watch the film trailer, and pick up the promo materials , much to the delight of the folks at Starz Media! At one point we became SO popular that it caused a bottle neck of sorts inside the booth and it was actually TOO jammed! I guess you can say that people REALLY wanted me to make a monkey outta them! this was such a great idea, that I may use this idea for future gigs!
Will post more later

What is Neutering?
Neutering is the most common method for the sterilization of animals. It means removing of an animal's reproductive organ. However it is used when referring to both genders. Castration or the removal of testicles to male animals, while Spaying or the removal of ovaries and uterus for female animals.
The Benefits of Neutering
- Reduce Roaming
An intact male will do anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways to escape from the house. This does not guarantee that he's free from injury in traffic and fights with other male animals.
- Reduce Spraying and Marking
Unneutered dogs and cats mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. A dog after he has been neutered might less likely mount other dogs, people or objects.
- Reduce Aggression
Spaying or neutering cats and dogs at an early age can help avoid problems with aggression.
- Lower Risk of Different Types of Cancers
Spaying in female animals eliminates the possibility of ovarian and uterine infection or cancer. Pyometra is one of the common bacterial infections in most unspayed dogs and cats. As pyometra advances, bacterial poisons enter the bloodstream, causing general illness and often kidney failure. It is best to spay cats and dogs while they are young and healthy as operations may fail to save when an animal is severely weakened.
Neutering saves male cats and dogs from testicular tumors. Although only a small percentage of testicular tumors are malignant, nonmalignant testicular tumors sometimes secrete the hormone estrogen at a toxic level that destroys the bone marrow's ability to produce blood cells which result to a fatal outcome.
- Increase Lifespan Up To 3-5 Years
Neutering cats and dogs reduce their risk from acquiring diseases.
- Decrease Population Leading to Better Quality of life
Sterilizing a cat or dog reduces their urge to roam and decrease the risk of contracting diseases. Spaying and neutering are the only permanent and effective method of birth control for cats and dogs compared to capture, impounding and eventual destruction of unwanted animals which costs taxpayers and agencies over a billion dollars each year.

The Royal Canadian mint has officially launched their second coin in the on-going series, "Canadian Homefront," launched earlier this year. The second coin in the series focuses on the country's submarine fleet whose homeport was on the west coast province of British Columbia. On the eve of the First World War, the Royal Canadian Navy was still in its infancy, with fewer than 350 sailors to its name and a fleet that centered around two aging cruisers. The looming threat of war heightened fears about a possible enemy naval threat, particularly in British Columbia. But a unique opportunity in the summer of 1914 would allow Canada to acquire its first submarines—one of which is depicted on this new coin.
In the summer of 1914 and against the confusion of a new war ensuing in Europe over the assassination of the Austrian Archduke, concerns about Canada's defensive vulnerabilities increased and a unique opportunity came to the attention of Sir Richard McBride, the Premier of British Columbia. On August 5, 1914, at the start of the First World War, the government of British Columbia, under the administration of McBride, secured the purchase and delivery of Canada's first submarines – named His Majesty's Canadian Ships or HMCS CC 1 and CC 2 – in a transaction with the Seattle Construction & Drydock company. This was undertaken in order to counter the threat of a squadron of German Navy warships reported on the coast, marking the beginning of service in submarines for Canada.
The two submarines, originally commissioned by the Chilean government, had been cancelled by Santiago due to political disturbances; when payment was also cancelled, their builders needed to sell these unwanted submarines to the highest bidder. McBride saw these as valuable contributions to the fleet stationed on the West Coast—not to mention a boon to his province's coastal defenses. A flurry of meetings and negotiations ensued, and timing was of the essence. A declaration of war from the United Kingdom was imminent, and the United States' own pending declaration of neutrality would prevent the sale of military provisions to countries at war, which would include Canada as a dominion of the United Kingdom. While London and Ottawa struggled to organize the funds in time for the purchase, McBride made the decision to purchase the submarines using provincial funds. He agreed to the builder's terms & conditions, which was simply cash on delivery for the sum of roughly 1,150,000 Canadian Dollars, twice the Royal Canadian Navy's entire budget at that time. Just one day before war was officially declared, the submarines quietly slipped out of American waters under the cover of darkness and arrived at Esquimalt, B.C. the next morning. On August 7th, The Government of Canada made the new fleet official by purchasing the submarines from the government of British Columbia.
The reverse of the coin is designed by Yves Bérubé and highlights the importance of the addition of two submarines to the Royal Canadian Navy's fleet in August of 1914. The CC Class submarine is prominently featured in the centre of the scene, its hull pointed toward the viewer as though emerging from the image. The vessel's keel and diving planes can be seen below the surface of the water; above, a sailor stands on the deck in front of the conning tower as he surveys the horizon. In the background to the right of the submarine, a beautifully detailed map of British Columbia's coastline looms large. This added element provides geographical context to the story of Canada's first submarines, which were used to patrol the coastline depicted here. The obverse side includes a crowned effigy of HM King George V as seen on Canadian and colonial coinage throughout the world from 1911 to his death in 1936. The denomination appears below the King's portrait.
|20 Dollars
|.999 silver
|31.3 Grams
|38 mm.
|7500 pieces
The first coin in the Canadian Homefront series focused on the trans-continental railways of Canada, which played a vital role during the First World War.

An explanation is outlined below and has been eloquently explained by Manda Rawlings
DLA haplotypes are involved in the immune system and it benefits a breed if it contains many versions widely and equally dispersed. Most poodles have only DLA II 2001. Hugo has a 2002 which is rare. Half of his pups will have the rare haplotype (a test can determine which ones). Thus far, he is the only male in the UK who has been tested I know of who has anything other than 2002. His pedigree also contains the now extinct Wylderhope bloodline plus some Dorvalle and Supernova
so, when used with a silver, as in Lillys case, Manda predicts...
If Hugo is a genuine café and not just an odd brown, and apparently his brother is blue so this would suggest that is so, the pups should be silver and blue 50:50. There is a possibility of cream also, but from pedigree knowledge it is unlikely the dam carries it. If he isn't café all pups will be blue

It seems that a good deal of my life right now is damn uncomfortable.
At the head of the list, of course, is the uncomfortableness of worrying about my wife's health situation. Everyday the doctors seem to switch from hopeful to not as hopeful and from worrisome to not as worrisome. It's like riding on a roller coaster.
But that is certainly NOT the only thing that is making me uncomfortable. Hopefully, the niece of my step-mother deposited me in White Salmon last night. While I am very, very appreciative of her selfless act, we all know that strangers or people I don't know that well make me very anxious. Just the idea of a social situation makes my hair stand on end. She and I have communicated via email before and spoken on the telephone, so that should calm my nerves a tad.
I will be doing A LOT of driving in the next week. Ten years ago, it wouldn't have been a big deal. When Della and I traveled together, I typically handled 90 percent of the driving. A decade or two ago, I drove solo round trip from Arkansas to Oregon. Twice! But as my anxiety levels have gone up in tandem with my physical issues, Della has become our main driver.
Not only must I handle all of the driving chores for the foreseeable future, but I'm going to have to drive into downtown Portland! I don't do well in urban areas because vehicles dart here and there at very high speeds. The main interstates into and through Portland feature multiple lanes with cars appearing suddenly out of nowhere (entry ramps) and then just as suddenly disappearing (exit ramps). It is a certain recipe for sensory overload!
And then I must go into a crowded hospital with people scurrying around everywhere. It's like my worst nightmare from hell!!!
I am sure I will be a nervous wreck, but I must face these things because my wife needs me. She's been there for me more times than I can count. She understands -- but she is fretting about it all -- that I must go far outside my comfort zone to come to her. I sure wish it wasn't this way, but it is. For my wife's sake, I MUST muddle through.
Hey, isn't that what true love is all about?

About Me
I first began to call North Carolina home in 1989 when my family relocated to Raleigh. Almost 30 years later, I strongly believe the Triangle has grown and evolved into one of the best places in the country to live and raise a family.
With such a large number of agents in the area, I have found that first hand experience in the community, along with knowledge in the construction field are key elements to success. Both aspects are often critical components whether you're buying or selling a home. Prior to earning my brokers license and stepping into the real estate field in 2016, I worked extensively in both new and existing residential construction - focusing specifically on carpentry, electrical and plumbing. My strong construction background allows me to pass on valuable information to my clients, which in turn, allows them to make more informed decisions.
My approach to real estate is simple and intertwined with my own core beliefs. I choose to guide my clients with honesty and integrity. I am a firm believer that honest, open communication is absolutely critical for success for both parties. Effective communication is vital and, is therefore, a fundamental aspect of my business model. Listening to client needs and appropriately responding to them in a timely manner makes all the difference. I strive to make each and every interaction with my clients worthwhile because, after all, time is important to everyone. In such a fast-paced market, time is precious and knowing how and when to put your best foot forward can often help you stay one step ahead.
Whether you are thinking about buying or selling, rest assured that I will use my industry background and relationships in the community to help you make the best decisions for you and your family. I look forward to serving any and all of your real estate needs in the Triangle area and beyond!

NOTE: The following post contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Doctor Who season 8.
Even though Doctor Who rumors and official news have been relatively quiet since the 2014 Christmas Special aired, production on season 9 of the series has been steadily humming along behind closed doors. Showrunner Steven Moffat, along with stars Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, have wrapped work on block 1 of their filming schedule, and as of one week back, have already begun shooting block 2. Still, there's a long wait between production and final airing, with the BBC aiming to launch the Doctor Who season 9 premiere this fall.
Fortunately, the network has already unveiled one of their biggest season 9 secrets, likely to stay ahead of leaks and set photos this round, outright revealing the fate of a principle series 8 character - Missy (aka The Master) played by Michelle Gomez. BBC has officially announced that the actress (and somewhat divisive) villainess will be back much sooner than many fans expected - with a key role in this season's two part premiere episode. However, could such a quick return to the character actually indicate that Moffat intends to flesh-out underdeveloped (and divisive) ideas from the season 8 finale?
According to an official post over at BBC, Gomez will return along with guest star Jemma Redgrave who plays the Brigadier's daughter, and UNIT commander, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. As a result, it isn't much of a stretch to suggest that, despite a holiday season side-tangent (in "The Last Christmas"), the season 9 premiere could build directly from key storylines from the previous season finale but can Moffat make up for missteps that, for some, detracted from the overall success of the season 8 finale arc "Dark Water" and "Death in Heaven"?
Fortunately, the upcoming two-part premiere arc, titled 'The Magician's Apprentice" and "The Witch's Familiar" sees the re-teaming of Moffat (as writer) and Hettie MacDonald (as director) - who previously collaborated on the fan-favorite season 3 entry "Blink." Together, Moffat and MacDonald created one of the modern series' most interesting and creative episodes - often credited as the episode to entice non-Doctor Who fans into watching the series - meaning the pair have the talent and creative synergy to deliver an especially strong opening to season 9.
Don't Blink: A Pedigree for Success
While Moffat injected some interesting ideas into the season 8 finale (e.g., dark water and the nether sphere) many viewers were put-off by a number of half-baked moments that undermined likable characters (Osgood) in service of an overstuffed two-part storyline that featured a new Master, a Cyberman invasion, the "Afterlife," and downright bizarre implementation of a beloved classic Doctor Who character.
For all of its big ideas and surprises, the season 8 finale was riddled with plot holes and scenes that tripped back and forth over the line between impactful drama and eye-rolling melodrama: Danny Pink's double-death and resurrection of the Middle-Eastern boy, among others - not to mention the implications of mass corpse-to-cyberman-conversion across the world (specifically, were Rory, Amy, as well as other companions converted and, if so, are we to believe that Danny's cyber-defying love for Clara and the Brigadier's cyber-defying love for Kate was stronger than all the other relationships the show has followed over 50 years?). Even for those who thoroughly enjoyed the episode, it's hard to ignore that Moffat sacrificed the show's normally tight storytelling for the sake of big reveals and spectacle - leaving a string of unanswered, muddled, and downright vague questions in the wake of season 8.
That said, what if the underdeveloped aspects of the finale were actually seeds that Moffat was actively planting - for further cultivation in the beginning of season 9? As indicated, the end of season 8 suggested that Missy had been outright disintegrated by the Cyber Brigadier (even if no one believed that was truly the last we'd see of her) but with Redgrave and Gomez returning so quickly to the show, it seems likely that 'The Magician's Apprentice" and "The Witch's Familiar" will have very direct connections to the finale - and, given the months in between when Moffat wrote the series 8 ender and series 9 opener, there's room for the showrunner to have fleshed out any missteps by exploring them in greater detail (and with stronger emotional payoff) in the coming episodes.
After all, Moffat has managed to tie-together long-running mysteries over the years with genuinely worthwhile payoff (River Song's origins, the Impossible Girl, as well as injecting a never before discussed "War Doctor" in between Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston's iterations of the Time Lord). This isn't to say that Moffat will (or should) have written an arc exploring Lethbridge-Stewart's feelings after seeing her father resurrected as Cyber Brigadier; yet, there's no doubt that fans who were less enthusiastic about key choices in the finale would benefit from seeing Moffat payoff the more controversial events and drama from season 8 - even if it takes several episodes in season 9.
A Mad Man With a Box (and a Plan)
To that end, a well-written scene between Redgrave and Gomez could go a long way in smoothing out conflicted feelings about Cyber Brigadier. Similarly, while Moffat has gone on record indicating that the death of Osgood (Ingrid Oliver) was necessary in establishing Missy as an outright crazy, and evil, version of the Master, the character's fate remains a major point of contention among viewers. Given what Moffat and MacDonald accomplished in "Blink," there's reason to be hopeful that the pair could deliver on the showrunner's clumsy season 8 finale storytelling by offering some intriguing twists - since many still hope that the unceremoniously vaporized Osgood was actually the character's Zygon double (from "The Day of the Doctor").
Of course, the biggest question that remains is: where did Missy go when the Cyber Brigadier "vaporized" her? No doubt, the question will be addressed in the premiere (with Moffat teasing that "what brings [Missy] back into [the Doctor and Clara's] lives is the last thing they'd expect." Gomez was equally coy in her reaction to the announcement, still relishing in bringing her wicked Mary Poppins-like iteration of The Doctor's arch-nemesis to the modern series; though, the actress refrained from providing concrete hints regarding exactly how Missy will return for the series opener. Maybe a clearer understanding of The Master's Nethersphere, and how exactly the Doctor was able to bring a boy back from the dead, will play a role in the Master's return - helping to add insight into the mechanics of season 8 plot points, while also ensuring that Missy can cause more trouble for the Doctor and Clara down the line.
For over a year, many fans have begun to question whether, despite all of his successes, Moffat might be running out of ideas (or has too much on his plate) and has become incapable of delivering the same brain-bending time travel adventures that made him the right man to succeed Russell T. Davies. Hopefully, with smart collaborating between Moffat and MacDonald, the showrunner can prove that, with a little help, he's still the right man for the job - and willing/able to rectify his missteps.

The Iowa Events Center (IEC) recently hosted the Iowa
Communications Alliance Annual Meeting & Expo March 4-6, 2014. This was their first event with Markey's
since their recent merger, but Markey's staff has had a relationship with this organization for over six years.
This event had audiovisual needs for five different
components, including a General Session, Breakouts, a Vendor Reception, and a Cyber
Markey's also provided Voice Over / Pre-conference Audio Production
for this group. This consisted of pre-recorded
voice announcements and music bed cues for the presenters, and also included
show flow announcements for the Expo and Concourse areas so that the attendees
would know about various sessions and special features of the conference. The House sound at IEC offers this
flexibility of patching from the General Session room.
Markey's tackled a special project when working with the last Keynote Speaker of the event, Steve Uzzell,
internationally known photographer and speaker who has worked extensively with
National Geographic magazine among others.
Before the event,Steve and Director of Event Technologies Tim Cooper had an extensive conversation about
Steve's projection needs, so that his life's work would be shown at its best; his
past experience as a presenter had taught him that not all venues or
audiovisual companies had the ability to meet these needs. However, after his discussion with Tim, technician Justin McElvaney worked with Steve one-on-one. Because of these interactions Markey's was able to
utilize both 9' x 16' screens and very bright 12,000 lumen Christie HD
projectors to ensure perfect image quality and viewing angles for everyone in
attendance. Stage lights and house
lights were turned off to provide blackout / movie type conditions as Steve took the
audience on a pictorial journey through his life in high definition, presenting
his work in the manner that it deserved and allowing the emotional impact
captured in the images to be conveyed to the audience!

Choose two pieces of fabric approximately twice as long as they are wide. My pink and blue sample was made from pieces about 8.5" by 17".
Decide if you need to add stiffening to your bag. Since my fabrics are fairly light weight I added a layer of batting. You might add interfacing or fusible fleece to one or both pieces, or if your fabrics are heavier you might choose not to add anything.
Add whatever embellishments you like.
I have added a small appliqué to the pink layer. The short edge of the fabric is the top of the bag. Fold the fabric in half and decide on placement of the embellishment – be sure to leave room for the bottom of the bag and remember that the cuff at the top will fold down.
Fold each piece in half, right sides together and stitch each side seam from the top to the folded edge.
Box the corners at the bottom of the bag. Line up the side seam you just stitched with the fold (centre bottom of the bag), and mark a line across, then stitch. For this bag my line was about 1.75`` from the corner.
Repeat for both corners of each fabric. You will have little "rabbit ears" sticking out.
Optional: -- you can tack the points at the centre of the bottom of the bag. This will add stability and shape to help your bag stand up.
Turn one of the two pieces right side out.
Place this piece inside the other (right sides are together). Match the side seams and the top edges.
Stitch around, leaving a few inches open so that you can turn the bag right side out.
Turn the whole piece right side out.
Push one piece down inside the other. Turn in the edges at the opening. Finishing the edge with a line of top-stitching will close this opening nicely.
If you wish you can further reinforce the cuff with more stitching. This is a great place to make use of a decorative stitch on your sewing machine. This bag is about 4" wide and 5" tall.
It might be hard to decide which side you like best – remember, you can change it whenever you wish!
Here we see two different sizes. The larger bag was made with fabrics about 10.5" by 21".
Experiment with these directions. Here are some things to to try:
- Change the size.
- Play with embellishments – You could use your embroidery machine to decorate the side of the bag or embroider a name on the cuff. Perhaps you could make a bag with one of the fabric pieces constructed from squares or strips.
- Plan ahead and leave an opening in one side seam for turning instead of at the top.
- Put piping on the edge.
