North Ranch Real Estate and Information
North Ranch Real Estate and Information
North Ranch, California
Southern California is home to many secluded enclaves within easy driving distance of Los Angeles, one of which is the community of North Ranch. Located north of the city in Ventura County, North Ranch is nestled in the scenic Conejo Valley, a land of rolling hills and oak trees, ranches and estates… along with more affordable residences. It is not only affluent and among the safest communities in the United States, but also its pleasant climate is modulated by the nearby Pacific Ocean which contributes to the more than 300 days of sunshine enjoyed here.
Of course secluded does not mean remote, and North Ranch residents are easily able to reach work, restaurants, recreation and cultural activities by taking the Pacific Coast Highway to the south, the east/west 101 (Ventura) freeway just to the north, and the 405 (San Diego) and 5 (Golden State) freeways—which run north/south—to the east.
Recreational activities include hiking, mountain biking, and of course all of the surfing, swimming, fishing and boating activities at the ocean just a short drive away over the hill. Local points of interest include the Ronal Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in nearby Simi Valley, the Civic Arts Center in Thousand Oaks, local restaurants in Westlake Village, and of course the wealth of activities and opportunities in Los Angeles, less than an hour away.

Nottinghamshire 156 for 4 beat Yorkshire 152 for 5 by six wickets
Yorkshire's chances of reaching the quarter-finals of the Friends Life t20 quarter-finals were virtually extinguished at Headingley as they went down by six wickets to North Group leaders Nottinghamshire.
The only bright moment for Yorkshire came when 26-year-old debutant fast bowler, Iain Wardlaw, gave them brief hope by getting rid of Riki Wessels and Tamim Iqbal in the space of four balls after the second wicket pair had rattled up 61 together in seven overs as Notts chased a modest 153 target on a good pitch.
Wardlaw, who plays for Bradford League club Cleckheaton, was recommended to Yorkshire by skipper Andrew Gale, and he was a late replacement for Ryan Sidebottom who was suffering from a stomach bug.
He gained his maiden wicket when Wessels skied him to Adam Lyth at deep mid-off after striking 27 from 20 balls with two fours and a six and in the same over he had opener Iqbal also held by Lyth, this time on the long-on boundary, for 47 from 37 deliveries with five fours and two sixes.
Before Wardlaw's double strike, Notts had already been given an encouraging start by Iqbal and Alex Hales who added 41 in six overs before Hales was caught at cover point by Anthony McGrath off Richard Pyrah.
Adam Voges was bowled reverse sweeping at Azeem Rafiq to leave Notts on 105 for four but Chris Read and Scott Elstone knocked off the remaining runs with little trouble, Reed virtually settling the issue by blasting Pyrah for consecutive mid-wicket sixes to finish unbeaten on 26 from 15 balls while Elstone also faced the same number of balls for his 21 not out.
Once again, Yorkshire had their captain to thank for holding the innings together, Gale making 62 off 55 balls with five fours and a six before Jonny Bairstow upped the tempo later on with a four and three sixes in his unbeaten 41 from 26 deliveries.
It was Gale's fourth half-century of the season in the competition and he remains the only batsman in his side to have reached the 50 mark.
Winning the toss, Yorkshire lost a wicket in the second over when Joe Sayers was brilliantly caught left-handed by the diving Wessels at short extra cover but early runs still came at a healthy rate as Lyth took consecutive boundaries off Andre Adams and Gale smacked Darren Pattinson for two fours and a six, the seamer going for 45 off three overs.
Yorkshire's good work in front of a 4,904 crowd was quickly undone as both Lyth and Gary Ballance were run out and the out-of-form, McGrath, recalled to the side at the expense of Joe Root, edged an intended cut at Graeme White into Read's gloves.
Both Lyth and Bairstow were made to work hard for their runs and Bairstow's boundary off Voges was the first to be added in nine overs. Gale completed his 50 off 47 balls but the end came when he scooped Adams round the corner and into the waiting hands of Luke Fletcher.
Bairstow began to hit out and he drove Pattinson for two towering sixes but he enjoyed a life in the same over when Steven Mullaney caught him on the boundary edge off a no-ball. Ajmal Shahzad also weighed in with 15 from ten balls but Yorkshire still finished short of a really competitive total.

Grimshaw and US practice Gruen has beaten an impressive shortlist of international practices to land the competition to masterplan the redevelopment of Union Station in Los Angeles.
The team saw off finalists: EE&K with UNStudio; Foster+Partners with IBI Group; Moore Ruble Yudell Architects with Ten Arquitectos and West 8; NBBJ with Ingenhoven Architects; and Renzo Piano Building Workshop with Parsons Transportation Group.
The Grimshaw team, which includes Davis Langdon and Buro Happold, will look at the 'long-range future of the station and the 16 ha that surrounds it'. The 1939 station was designed by John and Donald Parkinson and bought by contest organiser The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in April 2011.
The masterplan will set out proposals for improved passenger circulation, outline further joint development opportunities, and include an analysis of high speed rail station alternatives.
Metro Board Chair and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said: 'Union Station is a beloved Los Angeles icon that has played a vital role in our city's history.
'Now it is time to get it ready for its future as the centerpiece of our burgeoning regional transit system. Union Station has gone from handling 7,000 riders a day in its heyday during World War II to more than 70,000 today. The future will bring thousands more to its doors.'
The masterplan contract is understood to be worth £2.6million to Grimshaw and the team.

This was actually my second good day in a row. I'm eating pretty normally (in fact, starting to get an impressive appetite) and had very little nausea. That's especially welcome because I was up a bit late last night after orchestra and usually it's worse if I don't get enough sleep.
Of course, now I'll worry that I'm feeling too good. Disappearing symptoms can be a bad thing this early on. So here's hoping that I still feel a teeny bit bad. Of course, I'm feeling better but still taking some of the medication my doctor prescribed, so I suppose if I want to feel sick again I could try not taking that tomorrow.
It's very good I'm feeling better because I have a LOT to do to get ready for Carrie's baby shower this weekend! I'm really looking forward to it, and while I've done lots of planning I've done little execution so I've got to hustle this week!!

Event: 2016 Charles Street 12
Event Date: September 3, 2016
Event Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Why I Decided to Run This Race
Charles Street was one of my first distance races after I started running so it holds a special place in my heart. I missed it last year because it is the same weekend as the Disneyland Half Marathon, so I wanted to be sure to run it this year.
You can go ahead and check out my thoughts on the 2014 Charles Street 12, go ahead, I don't mind, I'll wait.
Getting There/the Lead-up to the Race
I had hoped to have had a good training season and be better prepared for the hills. But over the summer my training completely fell apart. Since I had run the race before I was confident I could still finish within the time limit, but I knew it would be tight.
The Race Expo
As in previous years, packet pickup rotated between several Charm City Run stores in and around Baltimore. I had to leave work a little early to get to the Columbia, Maryland location on time but it was pretty convenient. The store did have a few racks of discounted items, but there was no expo to speak of.
Swag Review
Once again all runners got an item from Under Armour as the race premium. This year women got a lightweight purple long-sleeve half-zip jacket. I didn't see what men got since my husband decided not to run this year, but it was probably something similar.
The Gear
The weather has been hot and humid all summer, but the morning of the race was a little cooler because a storm was moving into the area. Despite this, it was still too hot for me to wear anything more than a tank top. As for my skirt, I picked one that seemed to fit the theme of "street" best: a diamond plate print. As a side note, I got more compliments for my skirt during this race than I think I have ever gotten other than for full costumes. I guess it's because the print was so metal… (Ba-dum-bum-ching! I'm so punny! And yes, I'm pretty proud of that one.)
The gear: Purple Bondi Band headband, pink Nike tank top, pink Adidas sports bra, diamond plate print SparkleSkirt with built-in shorts, Injinji socks, New Balance 860v6 shoes with custom orthotics, Garmin Forerunner 620 and Gymboss timer, and UltrAspire Astral hydration vest.
The Pre-Race
The race is a point-to-point course so I parked at the end and took a bus to the starting line in north Baltimore. The starting line is staged in the parking lot of a mall but they also open the main lobby of the mall to runners so we can hang out and use real bathrooms. I had to apply a little more Body Glide to a spot I missed so I went straight to the bathroom and then grabbed an inside table to eat a little snack before the race.
A few minutes before the race was scheduled to start they herded us all up to the road to line up. I knew I would be bringing up the back of the pack so I positioned myself at the very end. A live singer performed the National Anthem; she did a pretty good job, but she kept changing keys when she tried to reach the high notes which drove me a little crazy. But then they released us and we were on our way!
Along the Course
In theory the entire race follows Charles Street, a historic street through Baltimore. But in reality we don't get on Charles Street until several miles into the race. The beginning has a lot of uphill, which I had a hard time settling into, but I eventually did find a rhythm and get into my pace.
What really freaked me out was that the sweeper bus followed me the entire way. OK, so technically it was keeping pace with those of us at the end who were stretched out over about a quarter mile, but it was still right there with me for the majority of the race starting shortly after the first turn. I don't think they were sweeping people at the beginning, rather I think they were just following for safety to make sure no one tried to drive through when there still runners on the course. But it still threw me off my game because the group I was running with was behind pace and they certainly could have used that as a reason to pull us off the course.
Since my training was not where I wanted it to be I knew it would be unlikely that I would run the whole race. Instead, my goals were just to finish and to try to keep passing people the whole time. And I'm happy to report that I succeeded in both cases. Even once I started walking I kept my pace up and reeled people in one at a time until the very end.
For more details on this race, check out my thoughts on the 2014 Charles Street 12.
The SMOpinion
The medal was one of the plainer SMOs I've received. But at least they are upping their game with the ribbon…it's not just a solid color this year.
The Post-Race Experience
I was literally one of the last people to finish. In fact, I was so late coming in to the after party at Power Plant Live that there was no one in line for beer! I could have walked right up to grab my free beer with no wait! I was also pleased that they still had snack boxes available even for us back of the packers.
I sat for a few minutes in the after party listening to the band playing pretty good covers of rock and alternative songs until my legs recovered enough to drive. I still had to do my laundry for a cross-country road trip that my husband and dogs would be embarking on within the following days so I needed to get home.
Looking Back Now
I like this race a lot but now that I've done it three times it might be time to look for other races unless I need it to complete the B3 Challenge (completing the St. Patrick's 5K, the Sole of the City 10K, and the Charles Street 12 in the same year). And if I do it again I really need to make sure my training is in good shape before I sign up because I don't want to have to walk it again.

When one area is not going great look somewhere else.
I live in Hawaii so I live in shorts. Luckily I can even wear them to work - woohoo!!! When I lost weight I threw away all my large size shorts. Anything over a size 12 was history. I decided that 12 would be the largest I would ever be. Well last year that didn't work out so much. I put a few pounds back on and my 12's no longer fit. However, I refused to buy a larger size so I stuck to my elastic waisted running shorts. Around December my larger cut 12's started fitting again and I was pleased. This morning I grabbed a pair of shorts that although labeled size 12 have a small waist, more like a size 10 waist. I looked at them and thought they might fit so decided to try. They fit!!!! YES!!! Not only do they fit perfectly around the waist, the hips and legs are loose. Woo Hoo!!! I'm stoked. That really made my day. Especially since I overslept a little and didn't get my workout in.
I was up late last night, guitar class and then watching Lost. What's going on with that?? Charlie's dead?? Obviously I need to catch up. Then I went to bed and laid there reading until midnight. When the alarm went off this morning I knew I wasn't getting up. But I have a plan. I need to run twice during the week (for now). It's just too dark in the morning and in the evening I'm just too lazy. I've decided to try running at lunch. I bought all my stuff so I can change and clean up after. I think it's work out but today will be the test.
That's all that's happening in my life. My shorts fit and I'm running at lunch. Life is good.

Same thing happened to me this week, same size downgrade too!

Way to go on fitting into those shorts! And running at lunch, that sounds hard to do. I mean, I hate getting sweaty and then having to work. But, I wouldn't be good at an early morning workout as I'm more of a night owl. I was fitting into some of my smaller clothes but now they are tightening up. I need to remember that feeling of fitting into the smaller sizes when I'm not wanting to eat healthy.
I remember the days of living in shorts and thongs, that was awesome. I remember when I came back from the carribean it felt weird to wear the regular shoes.

I have spent my life being the kid who turned out wrong. the one who did not listen. what they did not know is that i was more than listening, i was analyzing what i was supposed to listen and adhere to.
I talk closet to home, that means i give the most practical examples to everything i refer to. and in this case, i take on my parents. they had the idea of what i should be (like) long before i was born, and i can trace this to the fact that their parents too had it for them. and since they did not become who they should have (become) they set on a psychological journey of reflecting the(ir) unfulfilled dreams on me.
I had my own, and worse still, i kno(e)w how to use it. and use it i did. I defied. Now, Defy, Rebellion - are a words i like, because their meanings shows what i (have to) spen(nd)t my life proving. it 's like having your cake and eating it, only this time, the cake got poison.
The verb defy has 3 meanings:
Meaning #1: resist or confront with resistance
Synonyms: withstand, hold, hold up
Meaning #2: elude, esp. in a baffling way
Synonyms: resist, refuse
Antonym: lend oneself (meaning #1)
Meaning #3: challenge
Synonym: dare
Rebel(llion) has deeper and more meanings that i wont subject you to. But my point here is, you never push against blank or nothingness, you do not resist vacuum, you resist an exertion of a form of push / power or any establishment that hinders a movement in the direction you are geared to.
And that is where i confront with resistance any form of organization that seeks to veer me from my intended purpose.
I am the girl who never believed in 'giving birth in wedlock' and that made me bad. Let's look at wedlock. It is comes from two words Wed and lock. we all know what wed means, then we know that lock (ed) is not so pleasant a situation to be in.Whoever said i had to give birth inside a locked up institution called wed(ded, ing)? and just by the fact that he (whoever) said it, who is the judge that that is the 'correct path' to take (to give birth). and what makes it the correct path , anyway, if a 'correct path' actually does exist in the first place! i think the reason as to why such things, like giving birth were not made a community (group) activity is because nature (or God if you believe) knew that a person had the ability to make a simple decision like when and when not to. it beats me where people get off telling me (others) what and when to use their bodies (for anything)! of what effect is my conception got to do with the society? tell me. it's mine, let me worry about it!
Gotta (pretend to)work....rant soon...

The Director-General Pays Tribute to the Memory of Professor Christian de Duve
"It is with great sadness that I learnt of the passing on 4 May 2013 of Professor Christian de Duve, Eminent Belgian scientist, Nobel Prize Laureate for medicine, and Founding President of the L'Oréal-UNESCO Awards For Women in Science," said the Director-General. "This is a great loss for UNESCO and progress in science".
Christian de Duve was emeritus professor at the Rockefeller University in New York and the Université catholique de Louvain. He was one of the founding fathers of the field of cell biology and made significant contributions to the development of techniques and instrumentation for the study of cell biology. In addition to the Nobel Prize in 1974, de Duve was the recipient of several awards in Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain and United States and of honorary degrees from 18 universities around the world.
His works were devoted to solving problems of medicine and therapeutics and his discoveries helped unravel dozens of genetic diseases and have opened up new doors to knowledge in the life sciences. His work will continue to be a source of inspiration and a point of reference for future generations of scientists.
As Founding President of the Award, UNESCO honours and acknowledges Professor de Duve's role in creating this very important award. UNESCO will not only continue to recognize his contribution as founder of the award but also his outstanding contribution to science and his commitment to providing opportunities and opening up doors for young scientists to make new scientific discoveries.
"Professor Christian de Duve will be sorely missed and I wish to express on behalf of UNESCO our deepest sympathies and condolences to his family," said the Director-General.

I hear ya - I was really tempted to do the advent run streak but I know if I run every day I will definitely break, whether it's 2 miles or 10. My knees will murder me. So I'm all about the cross training, and gonna supplement the right amount of running for me with swimming, cycling and strength training.ReplyDelete
And I'm DEFINITELY putting my feet up at Christmas too! :)Replies
That sounds like the perfect plan! Still plenty of things to get your teeth into but lots of variety to avoid injury.Delete
Ah the fear of missing out gets me too! It's hard when there is so much cool stuff going on, but sometimes you need to listen to your body and do what's best for you :) Enjoy some relaxation time! xReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Beki! I'm glad it's not just me suffering from FOMO.Delete
This is a great post Jen- it's so difficult to listen to yourself when everyone else seems to be having so many adventures- the fear of missing out is huge! I'm doing the same, have to keep reminding myself of the reasons!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Naomi! It's taken me a while to realise that there will always be another challenge/adventure waiting for me when I'm ready. Enjoy your resting!Delete
The elites, pros and athletes we adore all have an off season, something that's oh so easy to forget. There's FOMO too and one forgets that everyone's life online is edited and audited before we see it. You've certainly had an amazing year and accomplished things I could never dream of but rather than compare, contrast, feel guilty or sign up for trapeze classes I simply want to say WELL DONE! I'm proud of you, your achievements and honesty in this post.ReplyDeleteReplies
The voice of reason, as always! That's so sweet of you to say, Steph, thank you!Delete

Due to their distinctive look, and the black 'jacket' on their backs, locals have a nickname for the bird: 'Prófasturinn' - The Preacher Man. With a black crown and back; pale grey cheeks; orange legs and boldly marked red and black beak, these beautiful birds spend most of their life on the open ocean, only coming to shore annually to find a mate and nest.

- Attractions: West Iceland ,
West Iceland is home to the country's capital city, Reykjavík, and an array of impressive natural sites. These include Europe's most powerful hot spring, Iceland's most significant lava tube, fascinating glaciers, beautiful waterfalls important historical sites and more. It has three main districts outside of the capital area: Borgarfjörður, the Snӕfellsnes Peninsula, and Breiðafjörður.
Though also in the west, the Westfjords and Reykjanes Peninsula are considered to be in separate regions.
The Capital Area
Iceland's capital city is Reykjavík, a settlement of 120,000 people (over 200,000 in the Greater Reykjavík Area) that was founded in 870 AD by Ingólfur Arnarson; this makes it the country's oldest inhabited area.
It is a hot spot of culture, with festivals such as Sónar, Airwaves and Secret Solstice, events such as Pride and Culture Nights, and countless museums and galleries. The city is also renowned for its vibrant live music, cabaret and drag scenes, its street art, many sculptures, and its delicious cuisine.
Its architecture is particularly of note, with impressive buildings such as Hallgrímskirkja Church and the Harpa Concert Hall.
Reykjavík is where most visitors base themselves and the point from which most tour leaves. There is a comprehensive guide to Reykjavík on this site.
Borgarfjörður is the fjord north of Reykjavík, within which is a wealth of beautiful historical and natural sites. Reykholt, for example, is a tiny village where medieval historian and poet Snorri Sturluson, author of Snorra-Edda and Heimskringla, once lived. Borgarnes, the main village of Borgarfjörður, is one of Iceland's earliest towns, and home to the fascinating Settlement Centre.
In terms of nature, Borgarfjörður is home to the second highest waterfall in the country, Glymur. Other beautiful waterfalls include the magical and peaceful Hraunfossar and the raging rapids of Barnafoss which lie only a stone's throw apart. The area is also home to the longest lava cave in the country, Viðgelmir, the highest flowing hot spring in Europe, Deildartunghver, and just inland is Iceland's second biggest glacier, Langjökull.
The Snӕfellsnes peninsula is a marvellous stretch of land in west Iceland. It is home to a unique mountain ridge with the majestic Snӕfellsjokull glacier and National Park at its westernmost point.
The region is often called Iceland in miniature due to its diverse sites, which include beautiful mountains such as Kirkjufell, geological wonders such as the Gerðuberg cliffs, and coastal formations such as Lóndrangar rock pinnacles.
Breiðafjörður is the fjord that separates the Westfjords from the Snӕfellsnes Peninsula. It is a natural reserve with countless small islands and home to thousands of birds, including puffins.
The inner part of Breiðafjörður is the old farm site Eiriksstadir, the home of Eric the Red, the first European to land in Greenland, in the year 984 AD. His son was Leif Ericsson, the first European to land in America, in the year 1000.Snæfellsnes,
Snæfellsnes is a large peninsula extending from West Iceland, often nicknamed 'Iceland in Miniature' due to the wealth and diversity of natural features found there.
Home to the Snæfellsjökull National Park, at the centre of which is a subglacial volcano that towers over the scenery, this peninsula is home to waterfalls, rock formations, beautiful beaches, historic villages, and intricate folklore.
In particularly clear weather, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula can sometimes be seen from Reykjavík, making views across the water from the capital of Iceland particularly beautiful. Those with an extended stay in Iceland are recommended to look into spending at least a day here.
Natural Sites of Snaefellsnes
The peninsula stretches 90 kilometres (56 miles) from West Iceland, between the Reykjanes Peninsula to the south and Westfjords to the north. A mountain range runs along with it, consisting of both active and dormant volcanoes, culminating at the magnificent, ice-capped Snæfellsjökull volcano.
Starting along the south side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, you will first come to the Eldborg crater, which can be scaled for some incredible views, and the Gerðuberg basalt cliffs, where hundreds of hexagonal basalt columns are arranged with geometric precision. You will then start hugging the coast, where animal-lovers can find the Ytri-Tunga beach and its year-round seal colony.
The next site of particular natural beauty is the Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge, a cleft in a huge cliff face that it is possible to climb into. A stream runs through here, so those who want to plumb its depths will get wet. Those with decent clothing, sturdy shoes and reasonable fitness, however, will be able to get quite far.
After Rauðfeldsgjá, you will come to the mighty basalt plugs of Lóndrangar. All that remains of what was once a massive crater, these two enormous pillars are not only awe-inspiring in their scale, but home to thousands of nesting seabirds.
You will then enter Snæfellsjökull National Park, which, in spite of being the smallest of the country's three national parks, is pregnant with destinations worth visiting.
The most historic of these is Djúpalónssandur beach. Comprised of black, volcanic sands, it is best known for the four lifting stones that remain on the beach from a bygone age. Fishermen would use these stones to mark their strength and gage their suitability to working on the dangerous waves.
Within the National Park are also two lava caves that can be entered in summer. Sönghellir is renowned for the musical qualities of its echoes, whereas Vatnshellir is favoured for its easy access and vivid colouration. There is a small entry fee to the latter, and you cannot enter it without a guide.
Of course, however, the highlight of this part of the Peninsula is no doubt Snæfellsjökull itself. Even if you are not ascending it on a glacier hiking tour, it is worth stopping by to marvel at.
This is particularly the case for literature enthusiasts. The adventure in the Jules Verne novel 'A Journey to the Centre of the Earth' begins here, and it is the backdrop to the lesser-known novel 'Under the Glacier', by Nobel-Prize winning Icelander, Halldór Laxness.
On the north side of the peninsula is the haunting Berserkjahraun lava field, near the town of Bjarnarhöfn, the history of which weaves deception and murder. Most notable on this stretch, however, is the mountain Kirkjufell, often described as the most photographed mountain in Iceland, and known as "the mountain shaped like an arrowhead" from the popular HBO series, Game of Thrones.
Cultural Sites of Snaefellsnes
There are a few small and beautiful villages dotted across the peninsula, the majority of which are on the northern side, where the fishing is better. Most notable are Arnarstapi, Hellnar, Búðir, Hellissandur, Ólafsvík, Grundarfjörður and Stykkishólmur.
The last of these is highly popular for travellers, featuring a volcano museum and a ferry that takes you across the fascinating Breiðafjörður bay to the south border of the Westfjords with a stop at the remote island of Flatey.
Other museums of note are the Maritime Museum at Hellissandur, the regional museum at Ólafsvík, and, last but not least, the shark museum at Bjarnarhöfn, where you can taste the Icelandic 'delicacy', hákarl, or fermented shark.Grundarfjörður,
Wikimedia, Creative CommonsChensiyuan
Grundarfjörður is a small town found on the north coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the west of Iceland. It has an approximate population of 872 people and has been twinned with the French town Paimpol since 2004.
The town's main industries lie in fishing and fish processing. Grundarfjörður also bears host to substantial ship traffic, a consequence of' the settlement's natural harbour.
More recently, it has become a centre for tourism, due to the incredible beauty of the features on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. It is developing to meet the needs of those who travel through it.
Grundarfjörður boasts a public library, a historical centre, a resident's café and a photography exhibition, Bæringsstofa, which is a collection of pictures by the late Icelandic photographer and honorary citizen of Grundarfjörður, Bærings Cecilsson.
Asides from accommodation and amenities, Grundarfjörður offers the opportunity to partake in numerous outdoor activities, ranging from horseback riding and camping to ice-climbing.
One can also find a nine-hole golf course beside the town.
Kirkjufell Mountain
Visitors to Grundarfjörður will likely visit the town's main landmark, the photogenic Kirkjufell, which translates to 'Church Mountain'. Clearly distinguishable, and standing alone on the edge of the sea, its dramatic slopes, steeple-like peak and surrounding shorelines make it one of the country's most beautiful summits.
Kirkjufell is often called the most photographed mountain in Iceland, due to the variety of different way you can shoot it, and how starkly different it appears under different lights.
Besides the mountain itself, one can find Kirkjufellsfoss (Church Mountain Falls), a beautiful three-pronged waterfall, which is often favoured as a foreground.
Rock climbing is possible up Kirkjufell, but only for the very experienced as there have been accidents before.
Folklore & History
Nearby, one can find the town and municipality of Stykkishólmur, which has a population of 1,195, and is a centre of commerce and services for the region. The town, more than any other in the region, is considered mystical, with many folk stories and Sagas referencing it.
The road from Grundarfjörður to Stykkishólmur crosses a wide lava field known as Berserkjahraun. The name of this lava field is derived from the Eyrbyggja saga, in which it said two berserkers (Viking Warriors) were slaughtered by their master because one of them fell madly in love with own daughter.
It was said that the master had then pave the road across it before killing them.
Grundarfjörður is an important historical town in Iceland, having been a centre of trade for the Snæfellsnes Peninsula since at least the 15th century. The town was certified official as one the country's six designated marketplaces in the year 1786.
There are a number of antiquity sites around the town, however, that point to the region being well-inhabited as far back as the Viking era.
Like many places on the peninsula, it is likely that it could have been one of the first inhabited places in the country, due to its harbour and the wealth of fish that live just off its shores.Melrakkaey
Melrakkaey ("Fox Island") is a small island found at the mouth of Grundarfjörður. Melrakkaey was protected in 1972 and today, only those with permission from the Nature Conservation Agency may visit.
As with the majority of islands along the shallow, 50 km (31 mi) bay Breiðafjörður, Melrakkaey was, historically, a source of sustenance for the local population. Not only was the island used for fishing—ruins of these fishing outposts still exist—but the tall, columnar basalt cliffs on the island's north, east and south sides ensured that a variety of nesting birds called Melrakkaey home. This meant a reliable source of meat and eggs, making the island a makeshift pantry for the community.
Amongst the seabirds that still nest on Melrakkaey today are cormorants, glaucous gulls, shags, eiders and Iceland's favourite resident, the Puffin. Regulations were put in place on visitor numbers in order to protect the wild bird species.
Melrakkaey was once known as "The Reverend's Island" to Danish Sailors due to it belonging to a 14th-century parsonage nearby. The island was pledged to the church after an elderly local woman lost her two sons at sea and could not find their bodies. The parsonage used the island for haymaking, and there was even a house built on the island to facilitate such a practise.

Various Artists "Progress?!" ep
This comp was put together by a group of kids who did a fanzine titled "Still Thinking". the zine was hardcore in focus but also covered issues of a political nature. The group decided to put together a local comp and make it a benefit comp for an organizatin called Tools for Peace" who worked at bringin in educational aid to Nicaragua, when America waged their secret war against the Sandinistas.
MSI was the first band and they contributed three songs. The first two run into each other. "Choke" was a song that a joke punk band played on an episode of "Quincy" which trashed punks. MSI learned the song and did it as a cover. The song it runs into is an original called "Infection" which is a song about violence. It is a theme as that what "Fighting for Nothing" is about. John provides an explanation in their page below. Click on it to enlarge.
Death of Gods had a new line up and were recording for a 7" but these songs may have come from their demo. They contributed "Corporate Fuckheads" and "This is God" and their ep had not come out yet. But Scott Williams, their guitar player had just lost his life. He had been killed by a hit and run.
Sons of Ishmael were working on the "Pariah Martyr Demands a Sacrifice" LP. THeir page uses some of the artwork that would appear on the cover of that release so this was the next release after "Hayseed Hardcore". It was with a band that was a newer line up than the first ep. The song they do is called "Slow Children Playing" and is a song about the Cold War.
The Nunfuckers were from Kitchener / Waterloo. They had just released the "Dead and on the Floor" ep and "Be Yourself" was on it. It was one of the band's best known songs. They also had a cover of "Purple Haze" played super fast and done long before Snuff did their version.

Flyer - Saturday October 31, 1987
This was the second show I ever put on. It was an afternoon matinee show with some bands from Ohio. I had some punk friends who put me in touch with Hyper as Hell who were from Kent and False Hope and Confront who were from Cleveland. The show was a matinee because we could do it as an all ages show.
But more importantly, my brother's friend was moving out of his house and they house was to be levelled so we had a house wrecking party that night at which these bands were supposed to play. Things went horribly wrong at the night show and the bands didn't even get to take their equipment out of the vans. The night ended with thousand of high school kids being dispersed by cops and Sons of Ishmael would go on to write a song called "The Hallowe'en Party" which would get released on the "Sons of Ishmael sing Generic Crap" ep. Above is the flyer we handed out at the matinee. It was like a bonus show.

Release - Hype "Burned" LP
This album almost didn't happen. The band had a house in Oakville and it caught fire and burned down, hence the name of the LP. The tapes of the original recording for this LP were inside and didn't survive, so the band had to re-record. This version of the band captured the Barbasin Brothers. The liner notes has a neat shot from a Hype show at Ildiko's of the scene gathering together trying to get into the shot. It is as close as you get to a class photo. Songs on here are:
1. Life is Hard ... Then You Die
2. Free Trade
3. Ditch Pig
4. Sick Side Show
5. Chants
6. Asshole at Large
7. Wipeout
8. Scumtongue
9. Intermission
10. Have You Seen Nicole?
11. Burned
12. Insecurity
13. Our Glass
14. Need a Handgun
15. White Disease
16. The Fix
17. They Do as They Please

Nunfuckers "Dead and on the Floor" ep
The NUNFUCKERS formed in July of 1985 in Waterloo, Ontario. The first practice was in Bob's garage - Bob on drums, Dave on guitar, Ian on vocals and Todd on guitar. Practice went for a couple of hours. When Todd got bored and left, Ian, Bob and Dave wrote and recorded the "Today is a Good Day" demo (on a tape recorder). At least one song on the demo had lyrics about actually fucking nuns. Ian's dad was transferred to Calgary the following month and Ian left the band. Derek joined as bassist in the fall of 1985, followed by Rob on vocals. The NUNFUCKERS played house parties around Waterloo before playing their first show at Chuggy's in Hamilton (now Hogtown) opening for the RESISTANCE from Vancouver. A few months later, the NUNFUCKERS recorded the "Into the Pit" demo at CKMS in Waterloo. Copies of the demo were made on low-end blank tapes stolen from CKMS while recording. One copy was given to members of BUNCHOFFUCKINGGOOFS while at the White House (punk home/hangout in Waterloo). Shortly after that, BFG invited the NUNFUCKERS to open for them at Lee's Palace in Toronto. The place was packed and both bands were well received.The NUNFUCKERS played a lot after that, in and out of Waterloo, with bands like DOG, MSI, SONS OF ISHMAEL, NO MIND and the DOUGHBOYS (including a show with NO MIND in a Chinese restaurant in Kitchener). In 1987, the band returned to CKMS to record the "Dead and on the Floor" EP - 11 songs recorded live-to-stereo in 2 hours for $30. The songs on this ep are:
1. Decimation
2. Movin' On
3. Snap
4. My Shit
5. Up Your Ass with All Your Gossip
6. Social Butterfly
7. Blood Bath
8. Burning Chemicals
9. My Mom and Dad
10. Cheap Friends
11. Spoiled Brats

This means demand for new housing will remain relatively resilient, a Fitch report released on Monday said.
Fitch's estimate is based on the assumption that over one-third of new demand will be driven by the demolition of all properties built before 1990, while demand from marriage-driven first-time buyers will decline after peaking in 2013.
The Fitch estimates come at a time of reports of overbuilding and unsold housing stock in many areas of China.
In July, the official Xinhua news agency reported that there are development plans in Chinese cities to have housing capacity for 3.4 billion people, which is more than 2.5 times China's population and could exacerbate oversupply.
China completed 737 million square meters of residential property in 2015, an 8.8 percent decline from a year earlier. In the first half of 2016, completed residential housing floor space rose 19.2 percent from the same period last year to 290 million square meters.

This just drives me crazy. Here we have a nice house at 1506 Kessler Parkway in a great neighborhood, obviously last owned by an elderly couple. Asking is $450,000 though it's on DCAD for $268,000 but then we know how behind DCAD is.
I'll bet this home has had very few owners. Built in 1955, it sits on a huge .37 acre wooded lot with great trees. The home is a two bedroom, two bath 2310 square feet deal with a two car garage. It is very perplexing why there are only two bedrooms. There are three living areas, so maybe one of the bedrooms was converted to the sitting area off the master. Whatever. It's been loved, but loved by someone who really liked Formica, linoleum and carpet on the added on sunroom. Oh and early American furniture.
So why I ask, why did this agent put up these crappy pictures in MLS? I mean, look at them.

The best description of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political style is that he is risk-averse. His entire career has been defined by careful calculation, caution, and a steadfast commitment to the status quo. Few in Israel seem to love him, but they do regard him as safe and reliable. And that has been a remarkably effective formula for staying in power in a country whose governments rarely serve out their full term.
Yet suddenly, Netanyahu has found himself well outside of his comfort zone. His government has been sucked into a major conflict with Hamas and other extremists in Gaza, and it has no clear strategic goal or even an obvious exit strategy. Netanyahu is thus in the very position he's least at ease with: he is at the mercy of events and other actors outside his control. He might hope that when tensions calm he will end up where he wants to be -- the familiar status quo that he has always found politically comfortable. But that status quo, characterized by occupation and radical inequality in the Palestinian territories, is unsustainable and exceptionally dangerous for Israel, Palestine, and the region as a whole.
Netanyahu's remarkable rise to prolonged political power in Israel, particularly in his extended second term, has been based on his impressive ability to position himself between Israel's two poles: those who want peace with the Palestinians and those who want to consolidate control over the occupied territories. He is a supporter of the settler movement, but not a rabid one. Settlers and their leaders have frequently accused him of "silent" or "de facto" building freezes, and his government has demolished a number of wildcat settlement outposts (although it has also recognized many others).
He professes to be a proponent of a two-state solution, but both his policies and his rhetoric leave grave doubts about his commitment to that outcome. At a recent press conference, Netanyahu undermined any hopes that he is truly open to

If so, hopefully you had a chance to check out the Graduate Student Colloquium entitled "Introducing the Individual Development Plan: A Key to Success". The session was all about career development. A series of speakers talked to a room full (standing room only to be precise) of graduate students about post-graduate PhD career paths. After the presentations, students had an opportunity to have breakout sessions with the speakers. And so the brain picking began…. When asked about what to do when exploring career paths, Dr. Stephani Sutherland, a freelance science writer stressed the importance of "challenging yourself" and emphasized the importance of having passion and a mentor that fosters that passion. Looking around the room, everyone seemed to be on the edge of their seats. The speakers were both engaging and informative. Kudos to the respective societies for pushing the importance of career development.

Happy New Year
Info Post
Happy New Year! I wish each of you a blessed year and I truly thank you for following me this pass year. For me, 2011 was a stressful year. I've spent the past 6 months helping to nurse my premature granddaughter, and it has just worn me out. I am thankful to say that she now weighs a healthy 8lbs. 10 ozs.
I've decided not to make any resolutions for the new year, but just to live life and play whatever cards are dealt to me. I will say that I'm starting my new year on my treadmill. I will strive to be healthy and to bring lots of give aways to my readers, write posts on my grandchildren and continue to give my opinion on what's happening in the world.
If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see on Mother 2 Mother, please leave a comment. If you don't have any suggestions let me us know what you wish for or will be striving to accomplish in the new year. Blessings!

We're going to be honest here: These pups are irresistibly cute and resistance is futile. Prepare to "Ooh!" and "Aah!"
Our list includes tiny dog breeds weighing approximately three to six kilograms
While we can't deny teacup breeds are super cute, these pups usually weigh only 1.8kg and are not recognised by many official bodies, including the American Kennel Club (AKC).
The AKC states, "This is not an actual size classification and is usually attained through breeding runts. So-called teacup dogs often come with a host of health problems."
These include hypoglycemia, respiratory issues, heart defects, and digestive problems, just to name a few.
Plus, they're so fragile and tiny that you have to be on high alert as a pet parent to prevent injury.

Buying a new home is a very exciting time, so much that additional expenses can easily be overlooked. While an estimated mortgage payment includes interest rates, homeowners insurance, and possibly mortgage insurance, it does not take into account every expense that comes along with the responsibility of becoming a homeowner. Below is a list of the top 5 expenses people tend to overlook when calculating not only a budget to buy a home but also some reoccurring monthly fees.
Most buyers are aware that there are closing costs involved with purchasing a house. However, not everyone is aware of exactly how much to budget for this cost. I tell my clients to estimate around 3% of the purchase price to allocate to closing costs. So if you are purchasing a house at $500,000 closing costs should be around $15,000. Some lenders may offer different programs to alleviate some of these costs and depending on the deal, your realtor can also negotiate for sellers to pay for some of the closing costs. But in any case, buyers should be financially able to pay all closing costs. These costs include things such as: escrow fees, lender fees, title transfer, title insurance, inspection fees, etc.
If you were previously renting, most likely all of your maintenance problems were handled by your landlord. For all homeowners, it would be a good idea to have a separate savings account or a specific amount of money always saved up incase of any emergency situations. If you negotiated a home warranty into your purchase contract it is usually only good for one year and has limited coverage. So it is always better to be safe and prepared with any maintenance repairs that may arise.
3. Utilities and Landscape/Exterior Maintenance
During escrow it would be a good idea to ask the previous owner about their monthly utility bills to get a general idea of what to expect. If they do not want to disclose this information to you, you can always do your own research by calling service providers or visiting your local city website. If you plan on hiring a gardener or yard maintenance service provider you can ask the local neighbors who they use and at what prices they charge.
Windows can easily be looked over and not taken into consideration as a cost. Depending on the seller, they may have customized window curtains or blinds that they may take with them during the move. If the house is a remodel, there is a chance that there may not be any window coverings. Keep this factor in mind when touring homes and make a mental note of approximately how many windows you will need to budget for.
Most lenders will recommend setting up an impound account to collect a certain amount of money on a monthly basis (usually factored into your monthly mortgage payment) to set aside for taxes so that you are not hit with a large tax bill at the end of the year with no money to pay for it. However, what a lot of people forget is that being a homeowner has the benefits of being able to use the monthly mortgage interest as an annual tax deductible.
Becoming a homeowner is a big responsibility, but if you do your research and budget correctly you can enjoy the benefits with peace of mind in your real estate investment!

Our wide range of services are geared to help any of your orthopaedic needs.
If you are about to have surgery consider making this simple ABCD list on paper based on your own medical history and bring it to your pre-op appointment. It will help you and your doctor avoid unwanted complications.
Think of ABC and D:
"A" is for Airway and Allergies:
"B" is for Bleeding or forming Blood clots too easily.
"C" is for Cardiac and Circulation
"D" is for Drugs and Diet, the drugs you take every day even if "over the counter" or "natural" supplements and your overall nutritional status.
"A" Airway and Allergies:
Airway: We must also remember asthmatics often don't think themselves as being sick, sleep apnea patients often don't like using their CPAP machines and smokers are not aware how that effects post-op healing, infections or lung complications. Your doctor needs to know if you have any of these issues.
Allergies: Make sure you tell your doctor exactly what happens with a medication you think you may be "allergic to." Remember reactions and allergies are not the same. Total body hives and difficultly breathing are commonly a result of a true allergy; stomach upset, dizziness, being tired and constipation are not. For example, one patient had written down they are allergic to calcium. The reason was they get constipation after taking it. At the same time, there is calcium in every bone in your body making it very unlikely that this is a true allergy.
When we ask for a history of allergies, answers range from none to a good number of medications, foods and other items. For your doctor's purposes, we are interested in those things our immune system reacts to strongly. The reason for our concern is the body's ability to release factors that can close your throat, block breathing and put you in real danger. A medication that gives you an upset stomach or a yeast infection is an important fact. These are adverse reactions and they are not true allergies.
Another common complaint is a Novocain allergy. The reaction is palpitations (an increased heart rate) after use at the dentist office. There is epinephrine in the preparation the dentist uses to make the Novocain last longer. The epinephrine will increase your heart rate if injected near a blood vessel. Epinephrine is the same as adrenaline and can be used to save your life if your heart stops or your pressure drops during surgery. Here too, for good reason, it is important to distinguish between a reaction like palpitations with adrenaline use and a true allergy.
"B" do you have a history of Bleeding problems both clotting and not clotting especially during a prior surgery.
A family history of easy bleeding or forming too many blood clots can be equally important. There are genetic disorders like hemophilia and Von-Willebrand's disease that prevent clotting. There are also disorders like Factor V Leiden and Protein S deficiency, both conditions cause people to be at an increased risk of developing blood clots. Surgeons tend to lump bleeding problems and risk of blood clots together. This confuses some patients. We always worry about the more common problem blood clots, vein clots in the legs and preventing fatal embolisms and, as a result, we often spend less time on the history of too much bleeding than talking about too much clotting; your doctor needs to know both. Patients with a history of cancer or are under cancer treatment also have bleeding issues both excessive bleeding and easy clotting.
"C" Cardiac and Circulation problems and medications including treatment for high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, prior cardiac surgery, various veins or phlebitis.
To confuse things more, many times your MD may ask questions that has two meanings. For example, if we ask, "Do you have high blood pressure?" The patient says no because their pressure is normal. We notice Lopressor is in their history intake form. When asked again they will say, "I used to have high blood pressure," my doctor has treated it, so "I don't have it now."
"D" Drugs and Diet: the drugs you take every day including "natural" products, hormones, insulin, steroids and thyroid replacements and your nutritional status.
As strange as this sounds, in my office patients have written down that they are diabetic on their medical history form and don't indicate they need insulin daily. At the same time, asthmatics use inhalers for breathing don't think that the contents of the inhaler are medications since they are not in pill form. Thyroid replacement is just a hormone to some. To these patients, and many others with chronic diseases, using "natural" substances like thyroid replacement and insulin are just part of routine life.
Diet represents a window into your overall ability to heal. Patients with poor nutrition and
low body weight do not make all the proteins necessary for healing and are at higher risks for
infection. Similarly, those with high body weight are also at risk for more complications.
So, my advice to patients before surgery is to take some time out of the doctor's office before your pre-op exam and think about some simple ABC's and D for good measure. Look at the list and write the answers down. Bring it to the appointment and share it with your surgeon and the medical staff. The small changes your doctor may make by knowing something important on this list can make a difference.
