Michelle asked for tips on controlling our tempers. This is an area I struggle in a lot, and I don't really feel qualified to answer the question, as I fail so often. But I have improved a little over the last year or so, and I've been given heaps of good advice (even if I don't necessarily remember to follow it ;)), so I'll try to pass on what I've found useful.
The first tool I discovered when I was new to gentle discipline was The Five Steps. This, in itself, led to increased peace in our home, simply because when my son didn't comply with an instruction, I had a PLAN. In the past, I would panic. Smacking (spanking) 'worked' some of the time, but so often he would do the exact same thing again, watching to see what reaction he would get – and I didn't really feel that it was sensible to keep smacking harder and harder in the hope he would 'get it.' Einstein's definition of insanity comes to mind. Out of my panic and fear would rise great anger. How dare my child defy me again? How dare he NOT LEARN? Once, I scared him so badly with my rage that he wouldn't let me near him to cuddle him for several hours afterwards. I am so grateful for my child's grace towards me and his resilience – to be able to forgive and start again after being so badly hurt.
So, having the 5 step plan helped to circumvent that panic and the resultant anger. It also gave me a way to show my son that my words meant something without resorting to violence or any kind of punishment. As I have added other tools to my toolbox, opportunities for this kind of panic and impasse have continued to shrink.
However, I have plenty of other temper triggers. I never realised until the last 6 months or so, just how much hunger contributes to my temper tantrums, as well as my children's. If I remember to sit us all down for a healthy snack around 4pm, before I start cooking the evening meal and all those lovely aromas start wafting and making our tummies rumble, the 'arsenic hour' tends to be far less 'arsenicky' ;). Being tired's another one. If I have a bad night's sleep, I've learned to tell myself not to push myself/us too hard that day. We take the day as it comes, do the minimum housework, get outside to playgrounds so my children's energy doesn't overwhelm my tired brain, cook a freezer meal… and hopefully get to the end of the day without me gritting my teeth too many times. And maybe without me yelling at all!
What I want to learn to do, is catch the anger before it catches me. To learn to walk away and regroup, with a script like "Mummy needs to calm down for a minute. When I can be safe around you I'll come back." This, after all, is the skill I want my children to learn: to take time away when their big feelings threaten to overwhelm them and cause someone harm. But I find my anger creeps up on me and I'm not good at catching the warning signs early enough. I am praying about this and trust God that I will learn this skill.
Most recently, I decided to deliberately put a month's effort into building the habit of 'a sweet and even temper.' (This quote is from Charlotte Mason, a 19th century educator who had a lot to say about building good habits in our children). I thought that, like with children, it would help to define my goal in positive words, rather than 'not getting angry'. I prayed every day of January for God to remind me of the words 'sweet and even temper' when I was losing it, and to remind me to take a deep breath and let it out with a sigh when I felt my teeth clenching. On the whole, I think working on this exclusively for a month did help me, even though I am still far from where I want to be. Viewing my temper tantrums as a habit I can change, instead of (purely) a character flaw I am stuck with, is empowering. I will likely always get unreasonably angry at times, but I can change how I respond to that, with God's help.
I want to finish with a quote I found encouraging. Following Charlotte Mason's advice, I sought out a 'living example' of someone learning to control her temper and found it in the book Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. If you've read the book, you may remember that Jo had a bad fright when she almost lost her sister as a result of letting her temper run away with her…
"Oh, Mother, what shall I do? What shall I do?" cried poor Jo, in despair.
"Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault," said Mrs March, drawing the blowzy head to her shoulder and kissing the wet cheek so tenderly that Jo cried even harder.
"You don't know, you can't guess how bad it is … I get so savage, I could hurt anyone and enjoy it. I'm afraid I shall do something dreadful some day, and spoil my life … do help me!"
"I will, my child, I will … remember this day and resolve with all your soul not to have another like it … we all have our temptations … and it often takes us all our lives to conquer them. You think your temper is the worst in the world, but mine used to be just like it."
"Yours, Mother? Why, you are never angry!" And for the moment Jo forgot remorse in surprise.
"I've been trying to cure it for forty years, and have only succeeded in controlling it. I am angry nearly every day of my life, Jo, but I have learned not to show it, and I still hope to learn not to feel it, though it may take me another forty years to do so … I've learned to check the hasty words that rise to my lips, and when I feel that they mean to break out against my will, I just go away for a minute, and give myself a shake for being so weak…
Your father … helped me and comforted me, and showed me that I must try to practice all the virtues I would have my little girls possess, for I was their example. It was easier to try for your sakes than for my own. A startled or surprised look from one of you when I spoke sharply rebuked me more than any words could have done, and the love, respect and confidence of my children was the sweetest reward I could receive for my efforts to be the woman I would have them copy."
What are your strategies for coping with anger? Post a comment so I can learn from you.

Home reared Turkeys require a little more care than chickens as they are suspetible to a disease called black head; carried by chickens but fatal to turkeys. For this reason Turkeys when young are best kept apart from chickens in the earlier weeks of their life.
See article on Black Head.
The same basic princilpes of husbandry apply that we used for chicken rearing so that the turkeys have the best quality of life possible. An outdoor area for sunshine and dirt to dust bath and scratch about in, good feed, fresh water, green vegetation and good indoor ventilation with natural light and clean straw or shavings etc.
(dont use hay it's dust causes respiratory problems)
Housing:- turkeys are considerably larger than chickens and so need more space to roam and a dry sheltered house with good ventilation. We are keeping 4 birds, a bronze cock bird and three white hens supplied at 5 weeks old by Senara at Hendra farm.see link on the front page.
Started on turkey chick crumbs until 5 - 6 weeks old then gradualy changed over to turkey growers pellets, turkeys need a higher protien crumb than chickens, with fresh leaves ie lettuce, dandelion or cabbage, sprout peelings etc..
Last time I raised turkeys for the table I found the cock birds to be about twice the weight of hen birds reaching 17lbs . Started in August and finished in the third week of December.
Turkey finisher pellets are used in the last week of rearing. Before slaughter remove feed the night before to make gutting cleaner.
Well Christmas has been and gone and ours was a very good one. George, our bronze male turkey, was dispatched two weeks early due to his size ( 30lbs 8oz ) He was already too large to fit in the oven so we sawed him in half, one half we turned into sausages with port and cranberry the other half was frozen for Christmas day. The white turkeys (all hen birds) weighed in around 12lbs
We have now keep turkeys for 3 years, 2011 we kept 4 Norfolk blacks which weighed in at 25 lbs each.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - When a hurricane is threatening to hit your home, that's not the time to scramble for supplies and a plan. The time to think ahead is now.
First, you should have an emergency supply kit. The kit should include a first aid kit, flashlights and batteries, a battery operated radio, toiletries, and items for your baby and pets.
You should also have plenty of water. Stock up so you have enough to last you and your family three to seven days. It's likely best to have a gallon per day, per person.
It's also wise to have plenty of non-perishable food and a non-electrical can opener so you can still get to your food.
Having a grill and charcoal would help heat up food, but be sure you do not cook indoors. Make sure your grill is secure so it will not be damaged during the storm.
If you are not ordered to evacuate and you plan on staying home, be sure to stay away from windows. During the heat of the storm, be sure to move to a small, interior room - preferably a bathroom or hallway. Put as many layers between you and the outside world as possible.
While you and your family are secure in an interior room, be sure you have a flashlight on hand. Do not use candles as it's a fire hazard. Also have a cell phone on hand if you need to make a call. Be sure you also have a battery-powered radio so you can keep tabs on the storm, and get the latest from local officials.
If you are ordered to leave, be sure you have a "go kit" ready. That can include medications, important documents, extra cash, cell phone chargers. Also have supplies for your children and pets. If you are going to a shelter, be sure you go to one that accepts pets. Bring blankets and pillows, too.
If a storm is threatening the area, it's best to fill up your gas tank as soon as possible. This will help beat the lines at the pump, and ensure you have plenty of gas during extended power outages (almost all pumps run on electric).
To get more details on what items and steps you may need to prepare for the next storm, be sure to check out the American Red Cross' hurricane prep page: http://www.redcross.org/prepare/disaster/hurricane.

This morning I was finally able to get up and do a morning run! I know this should sound less than interesting at this point considering the morning run was my M.O. during the summer, but over the last few weeks morning after morning has been an epic smack-down.
I am unequivocally a night owl and will do anything I can to postpone the sun rising, or getting out of bed, which is what makes the morning run so difficult. I wake up to the alarm and my body feels heavy, as if I've sunk into the mattress – but in a nice, cuddly sort of way. Then comes the task of determining whether or not I'm going to open my eyes, because if I can't open my eyes then I certainly can't go running. Then the internal bargaining: I can just keep sleeping – I don't even have to go to the effort of rolling over – or I could get up and run. What would you choose?
Once (if) I win this mini internal battle then I will get up (with my eyes closed) get dressed (trying hard not to put anything on inside out or backwards) and I will stumble (hopefully without looking like I'm embarking on a walk of shame) and will try to place one sneaker-ed foot in front of the other. And while this all sounds utterly horrific (why, you're simply torturing yourself!) the best is yet to come. When you finish a morning run, stretch, shower, get to work, and finally sit down to have your coffee, you become overwhelmed with this swelling sense of accomplishment. And what better way to start the day?

1843 Roslyn home with luxury updates listed for $969,999
An 1843 home in Roslyn that has been completely renovated is on the market for $969,999.
The home has three bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms. "The place has been completely gutted, top to bottom, inside and out," says listing agent Jack Rossinsky of Shawn Elliott Luxury Homes & Estates. "Everything is top of the line, more than what would be required for a home of that age."
There are Thermidor appliances throughout, Brookhaven cabinets in the kitchen, LED lighting and HDMI cable.
Outside the home, there's a red barn with a loft that was finished with heat and air-conditioning.
"It would be a wonderful home office or yoga studio," Rossinsky said.

In late 2012, Showpony ran a segmented marketing campaign for the State Government's 'Skills for All' program.
During the planning phase for 'Skills For All', numerous target markets were identified. The following case study examines how each of the target groups was delivered a message specific to their needs and motivations.
After segmenting the audiences, we realised that that we needed to treat the two distinct groups as separate; we needed two campaigns.
Group A
These were people not considered disadvantaged, as they are actively participating in either employmentor study.
These individuals are looking to better themselves, secure their future, move towards better pay, improved career aspirations and better job prospects. These people would be enrolling in Certificate III and above courses that are more advanced.
Skills for All = opportunity for growth.
Group B
These are the individuals considered 'challenged' when it comes to employment opportunities.
Many in this group were scared to make a step like this in their life, so they'd need support. They were also cynical about government messaging and needed a reason to believe that training would help them. We also recognised that this group needed a different campaign name so that Skills for All wouldn't be perceived by Group A as a 'social welfare' program.
Fresh Start = opportunity for a better life.
We let their peers do the talking. We told three real stories of Aaron, Jenny and Bec, for whom training made a significant and positive impact on their lives.
The Results?
Target enrolment increase: 17,000 in 12 months.
Result enrolment increase: 22,966 in 6 months. The 12-month target had already been exceeded by 5,996 within the first 6 months of the program launch.
121,210 visits (51% above target).
Info Line Calls
5,500 calls to the info line during the campaign (37% above target)

Do you know what some of the longest lasting esports games are?
It might be exploding in the mainstream, but competitive gaming has been around forever.
Well, at least for a few decades, and there have been loads of particular games brought into the esports scene. From the likes of the Nintendo World Championships to Tetris have had 'esports' scenes but probably not in the fashion you're used to these days.
But what is the longest active esports game? The one that has got big-name players, teams and sponsors wanting to get involved?
Well, today we're looking at three of the longest lasting current esport titles.
1. StarCraft
This belter is 20-year-old this year and still has a powerful competitive scene; especially since the remaster was released last year.
In fact, it is the second expansion which is the one in the rotation now, but that was still released back in 1998. Incredibly, the fact that StarCraft II was released almost eight years ago hasn't slowed the original releases popularity.
In fact, a tournament held in September of last year had a prize-pool of over $100,000 and was won by legendary player Lee "Flash" Young Ho.
Still going strong and no sign of slowing down, as longest lasting esports games this one is absolutely up there.
2. Super Street Fighter II Turbo
One of the best fighting games of all time and there were quite a few versions of the game. However; it is the Turbo edition which is the most popular.
First released all the way back in 1994, SSF II Turbo is still incredibly popular, especially on the esports scene. With regular spots at the most important fighting tournament in the world, EVO, the game still has pretty big prize-pools.
Crazy that a game that came out almost 25 years ago is still popular enough to have a competitive scene; If only I wasn't terrible with everyone except Zangrief.
3. Counter-Strike
Okay, so this is more of a series than a straightforward game, but we're going to include it. In fact, vanilla CS had an incredible lifespan of well over a decade until the release of Global Offensive.
With over $47,828,253 being earned in CS: GO, more than $10m in vanilla and over $2m in 1.6.
Even CS: GO is now six years old and only going from strength to strength – with Cloud9, FaZe Clan and NiJ dominating the scene.
It really is one of the longest lasting esports games, with the original Half-Life mod coming up to being almost 20.

Efficient digestion is essential for your dog to be able to build and repair tissues and obtain energy, and for these reasons it is important to feed a food that is formulated to help support digestive health. For many dogs experiencing digestive challenges, it's also very important to feed a food with a low fat level. At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help manage dogs with challenging digestive health problems.

I'm finally back from vacation! This feels weird. I haven't been on Blogger in almost two weeks. That's crazy! I did a lot of blog reading while I was away on my phone, but refused to even touch a computer until today. A break is a break is a break.
But I'm back,
bitches nice readers. Did you miss me? I missed you.
Some of my Twitter followers got to see glimpses of my trip, but if you aren't a follower (And why not? Come find me! @loganturner) or aren't on Twitter *cough*Small Review*cough*, then here are a few quick pictures for your viewing pleasure.
I have a thing for sparkly headwear, and I had some serious Mickey ear lust happening for all of the shiny goodness happening all over Magic Kingdom. We were with our friends who were getting married that weekend, and the bride-to-be had the cutest white sequined ears. When I saw these red ones, it was like a match made in heaven. I wore them for the rest of the day without shame.
The wedding we attended was in Daytona Beach, Florida. This was our room balcony, where I spent most of Saturday reading Wicked Lovely while my husband was occupied with Best Man duties. It was pretty rough. Not.
We got back on Monday, and the rest of the week I've been relaxing, trying not to stress over school, and reading. I managed to finish Dark Lover and Leverage, and hope to knock out a couple more by the end of the weekend. For some reason, I have been reading really slowly over vacation, as if my mind is telling me to slow down and just enjoy myself.
I do have two pieces of good news today. The first is that today is the home opener for the Chicago Cubs! I'm watching the pre-game festivities as I write this. Go Cubbies!
The other good news is that I've decided to start hosting giveaways more frequently, starting today! Each month on the 1st, I will post a new giveaway announcement, and at the end of the month I'll announce the winner. The books will be through Book Depository so I can host these internationally, and will be two titles that I have given 5 star reviews.
So let's get this party started!
Today I am giving away the ultimate beach read, Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, and the ultimate escape read, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. To enter, you must be at least 13 years old and have a shipping address accessible for The Book Depository. Following is not required, but is appreciated!
This giveaway is open from April 1-30. The winner (and a new giveaway!) will be announced on May 1st. The winner will be contacted via email and have 48 hours to respond or the win is forfeited and a new winner will be chosen. All winners are chosen using Random.org. No extra entries are offered, but feel free to tweet, blog, or otherwise spread the word about it!
To enter, simply fill out THIS FORM. Good luck!

Get To Know All About Click Fraud & Its Preventions
With the rapidly growing cyber network, a need to discover more preventive techniques to fight with cyber threats is also increasing.
But, anyhow the actors find some way to enter into system and extract confidential and personal information. Talking about ways, there is one more way to fraud users known as Click Fraud, a major concern for marketers and business owners.
So, if you are running any PPC advertising and campaigns on Google AdWords or any other platform, here is what all you need to know first.
What Is Click Fraud?
It a form of forgery or fraud that occurs online on Internet. This method is also called Play-per-click (PPC) online advertising. PPC marketing is one of the most used online advertising model, also used by organizations like Google, Bing and Facebook.
Also Read : What Should You Know About Internet Security?
The hosts of the websites posting ads earn revenue based on clicks. As much the user clicks on ads published, more the money will be made by domain owner.
Click fraud is basically the practice of increasing traffic stats by online advertisements, where advertisement companies pay a fee for every click. These ads are based on the keywords you search for, mostly searched keyword ads will automatically occur on your screen. PPC ads occurs when an automated script, person or computer program acts as a chatbot on web browser. By this, it creates an illusion that many of the users are using the product or are following link displayed.
For example, suppose you are a business. Now, you go to Google and ask them to display your ad with some keywords, so that users who searches for related keywords, will get to see an ad. Now, many of the rivals create an autobot or automated program, where the ad displayed by you will get many clicks by chatbots, with which keyword prices will go high. This will make you pay more to Google for keywords and also your term keywords will move out after some time. This is how click fraud works.
Preventions For Click Fraud
Must Read : Technologies That Can Make You A Victim To Cyber-Attacks
Well, there are several preventions for click fraud that should be taken from the user end.
Detecting click fraud manually is a time taking process and also, a single incorrect step could lead to wrong analysis as well. So, to automatically detect click fraud, there are many services offered by several organizations, which can be used to detect frauds and prevent your business from any kind of loss.
Well, Google, for this has given an option for invalid clicks on Google Ads formerly known as Google AdWords. Still, it is not considered as a great prevention. Instead, it is recommended to use Facebook and Twitter ads. Even then if you want to put your business at serious risk, then you may advertise on Google AdWords or any other pay per click advertising platform.
One more preventive step that could be taken is you can set up an IP exclusion. In this, you can enter the respective IP of your competitor, who you think might be using this trick on you to let your business down.
However, it's better that search engines come with more advanced and secure techniques for advertising. They could also use Blockchain technology for this purpose, making it more transparent and secure. And, obviously we shouldn't miss on the basic preventive measures, so it's better not to be totally dependent on service providers.

2 yetişkin - 1 oda
While I can't say much about the town itself (I daytripped here), the raison d'etre of this small place just north of the Amed Peninsula is easy to vouch for. Laying sunk just 50m offshore, the wreck of the US cargo ship Liberty sits in perhaps 15 meters of water, but rises up enough from the depths to make it easily snorkelable. The reef ecosystem that's risen up around the wreck, with colorful corals, nudibranches, and huge schools of fish, is spectacular; and if you're looking to dive the wreck, there's no shortage of shops around to assist you. Word of warning: it gets REAL crowded after 10am or so, so come early.
Relaxing dive with minimal current, Tulamben Wreck dive is definitely a place to be for divers visiting Bali. Our dive instructor was friendly and will always be aware of your whereabouts in the water. 30+ years of the wreck in the water also managed to harbour heaps of corals that suffered minimal damage and plenty of tropical marine life. Highly recommend!
One of the best under water to do snorkeling and diving in Bali. Located in east island of Bali, about two hours from Denpasar. Enjoy the paradise.
My favorite scuba dive destination in Bali - I never got bored going back to Tulamben for many reasons. Access to the sea is very easy, you can swim from the shore to the wreck, and typically the visibility is quite good too. Chances of seeing a barracuda (a residence near the wreck) are quite high. I also love the small, thin eels that popped their heads from the sandy bottom.

Many of us that visit aruba, do so in the summer.
Lots of the summer visitors are subject to the question...YOU, go to ARUBA during the Summer....WHY?
Well, i just spoke with an old friend who spent a fortune at the Cape and here is her story.
(Moral of the story is go to Aruba)
They rented a place in Harwich 3 blocks from the beach. Rental 20 days $6000.
They had to bring their own bedding/linens.
3 children ages 11-16 and mom and dad.
Traveled from Peekskill NY.
RAIN and cold every day. therefore no beach.
therefore having to spend extra $$ on entertaining the kids.
Movies. they spent $400+ in movie theater and blockbuster
Food they spent over $2000 on groceries, restaurants and fast food.
Other forms of entertainment for the kidlets: bowling, mall, and taking 2 day trips to boston and 1 day trip to the vineyard. $1500+
The mom, who is my friend, tells me her best guesstimate is that they spent about $10K on this vacation from hell.
How much would it cost for a 2 week stay including air at an all inclusive in aruba such as the Tamarijn?
air from JFK to aruba?
accomodations at an all inclusive?
a few excursions?
.........aruba........the place to go year round.

2014 started in the worst possible manner regarding life in the Neighborhood. Seems that the escalation of violence, following a) the new attempt to evacute Rote Flora and b) the evacuation of the ESSO houses along with a few "holes" in the Hamburg legal system, provided an "opportunity" to the Hamburg Police (with the blessings of HH Minister of Interior and Sports Michael Neumann, of course) to unleash an unprecedented orgy of repression within the streets of St. Pauli… Seems though that this "initiative" day by day, slowly but surely, turns more and more to a boomerang returning directly to its sender…
Before we get to the chase, here's a quick wrap up of the events that lead to the Martial Law declaration 😉
The Esso Houses Evacuation (15/12/13)
Like things were not already heated up enough, with another attempt to evacuate Rote Flora (for those unaware what Rote Flora is, you probably should leave this blog or take a visit to the wiki link first), on December 15th, 107 families living in the complex were evicted out of their houses for reasons "related to the structural security of the building" in an operation that was proven nothing more than a trick of the new owner, in order to get people out and make their plans for reconstruction of the area easier. Of course there was a lot of criticism on the media as well with a spontaneous demo the next day outside the building but things had been already done. If you want to follow the story in more detail, you can refer to the German wiki link.
The Demo (21/12/13)
The aforementioned events led to a scheduled for December 21st demonstration in the neighborhood. The 8000 strong, demonstration, thanks to the behavior of the HH Police, quickly turned to a regular battle between the police and the protestors resulting to about 500 casualties and more than 100 arrests along with about 100 casualties on the police side and lots of damages around the Davidwache station. A vulgar display of power by the Hamburg Bacon Knights, close to the standards been said by the Ultimate champion, their Greek colleagues… A detailed description of what happened on the 21/12 demo can be found here.
"Attack" to the Davidwache (28/12)
The explosive atmosphere on the air after 21/12, with spontaneous demos all around the neighborhood and close encounters all along with the Police, resulted to the situation being escalated once more on 21/12 with Davidwache station being again attacked once more and the casualty balance at the expense of the Hamburg Police… An attack that was initially presented as a cold blood, almost professional operation, a story that the HH Police themselves changed a few days later AFTER Operation (or wahtever they call this shit) "Gefahrengebiet" was triggered… Still, violence which sometimes can be soul cleansing but usually doesn't solve problems but creates more instead…
Video from another minor attack on Davidwache, on 20/12/13
Gefahrengebiet (What?!?)
After the 28/12 Davidwache "raid" the scenery looked set for the HH Police and actually didn't took long to them, with the approval of course of their political supervisor, SPD Party member (for the Greeks, SPD is the equivalent of… PASOK!!!) Michael Neumann, to respond in a way that probably stunned even the man himself, Kim Jong-un!!!
Gefahrengebiet (danger area) is named after the Hamburg police law an area in the public space in which to "accept on the basis of concrete situation findings is that committed serious criminal offenses in this area." In this area, the Hamburg police police certain standard measures perform without having to check in each case whether a risk to public safety and order exists. Police can use it without any further conditions
- People stop momentarily,
- They ask,
- find identity and
- take objects carried in inspection.
When setting up a risk area is a measure of preventive combating serious crime. Within a hazard zone of danger is waived for the measures described for the presence. Of these measures are law enforcement to distinguish where there is no danger, but a suspicion must be present.
Yes, you've got it right!!! Like the Junta in Greece some 40 years ago!!! Armed policemen occupying the entire neighborhood, having the right to do anything to anyone, without limitations, without citizen rights and (the best part) with fuckin' state approval!!! "Measure" was announced on January 3rd and actually "enforced" the very next until further notice to the areas of Altona, Sankt Pauli, Sternschanze!
The neighborhood has flooded since then with cops. They are simply everywhere abusing people, submitting them to insulting methods of investigation, handing orders of Eviction (!) and generally doing everything they can to make the life miserable to people who don't look normal. Tragicomic scenes have taken place all around the area with the "forces of law" causing occasionaly frustration and outrage even to the very "normal citizens" that they supposedly have come to protect from the scum (NOT the Scum, but we're on our way 😉 ).
The good news is that the operation (costing approx. 200.000 euros per day) is not going the way that the masterminds behind the plan would like. The local youth (and not only) seems that has done so far the best of both worlds: a) Not giving a shit about the cop's threat, they have flooded the neighborhood as well, instead of hiding, visiting in certain cases the neighborhood from other areas of Hamburg, JUST BECAUSE of the situation. b) Reacting to the Police provocations with HUMOUR, SARCASM and lots (but lots!) of POSITIVE ENERGY. At the same time, a lot people who believe more in the system ("normal" people 🙂 ), seem frustrated and dissapointed as witnessing scenes anything but consistent with the modern German democracy that they supposedly living in. There have been even cases during these first days that police forces have been collectively boooed by entire neighborhood blocks before leaving the scene 😉
Things (at least according to our information) looking positive (there could be Hell on Earth as we speak). No big damage so far, the police make a fool out of themselves day by day but still a tense situation up there. These guys seem a little out of hand (for the Standards of the German Police of course – if the Greek Police was there instead, there would be dead by now…) and… they are all over! Brothers, sisters and personal Scum-comrades in the neighborhood, please ENJOY RESPONSIBLY! After all, one thing is for sure here – the sooner they get the fuck out, the better 😉
And something about Flora… We're not in the neighborhood, we're not living the situation to know all the parameters (and we're Scum of course!) but seems to us (me – didn't see the others to ask!) that the problem, as recenty history has showed, will not disappear when (if) the cops go away… Two ways out of this for peace on the long term, acquisition of the building or an organized move aiming to a "cultural monument" status (!) for the place towards the City/State. Otherwise, there will be months or a couple of years at most before the current or new owner comes and rings the door once again…
Take good care of yourselves boys and girls up there – hold tight!

Edited by Laura Morrison for GradSchools.com, February 2014
Whether you've always wanted to become a business leader or are simply at a crossroads in your career, you may have considered pursuing a Master of Business Administration, or an MBA. Go down this road and earn an MBA and you could join the ranks of famous business school alumni, such as former President George W. Bush and JP Morgan Chase President and CEO Jamie Dimon.
Bush and Dimon show that MBA graduates may have many career options before them. Of course, not everyone will get to move into the White House after attending graduate school. However, there are still plenty of rewarding occupations out there that you could pursue.
Here's an overview of a few roles graduates of MBA programs could be good fits for, as well as what the not-too-distant future may have in store for them:
Top executives
Even if you never get to occupy the Oval Office, you might still be able to use the knowledge and skills you acquire in business school to enhance your career and seek out top executive positions. With an MBA, you have earned an education that may help you pursue jobs as CEOs, like Dimon did, as well as chief financial officers, chief operating officer, chief information officers and chief sustainability officers.
While employment growth for these top executives will vary depending on the role and the industry, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects an 11 percent increase in job opportunities through 20221.
Medical and health services managers
If you're looking to put your business skills to use in a field that's expected to see strong employment growth in the years ahead, look no further than health care. With an MBA, you could explore a job overseeing operations in hospitals, nursing homes or similar settings2.
According to the BLS, employment prospects for medical and health services managers, such as clinical managers and nursing home administrators, are projected to increase by 23 percent through 20223. A big reason for this is the fact that the baby boomer population is aging, which is creating a need for more medical services.
Personal finance advisors
Another occupation that's expected to experience faster-than-average employment growth through 2022 is the role of personal finance advisor. During this time frame, the BLS projects a 27 percent employment increase4.
In this line of work, you could rely on your business knowledge and skills to help individuals with their finances. Some people may need a hand with their taxes, while others won't be sure what type of investments to make. Either way, if you earn an MBA, you could have a shot at entering this line of work.
While the BLS doesn't list job prospects for people who choose to start their own business, it's not uncommon for MBAs to take this route after completing their graduate programs.
Over the course of your MBA studies, you'll have a chance to develop certain qualities that could come in handy as a business owner. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, entrepreneurs tend to be independent, creative and natural risk takers. Whether you're collaborating on group projects with other students or working on your own, you stand to acquire and hone these qualities in business school.
If you have your sights set on any one of these occupations, now could be a good time to identify your ideal MBA program and take one step toward a brighter future.

All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.
Disney officially announced the film in 2016, positioning it as their latest live-action fairy tale reimagining. Mackenzie Foy was cast as the lead later that year, with key supporting players like Morgan Freeman and Kiera Knightley signing on at various points in 2016. Production started in October 2016 and ran until January 2017. Joe Johnston came in to oversee an extended period of reshoots in December 2017, since director Lasse Hallström was unavailable. The two filmmakers will receive co-directing credit on the movie.

Movie review of Chappie
Chappie - 3/10
Directed by Neil Blomkamp
Written by Neil Blomkamp, Terri Tachell
Cast - Sigourney Weaver,Hugh Jackman, Sharlto Copey, Dev Patel
Plot Summary
In the near future, crime is patrolled by a mechanized police force. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.
I was really looking forward to watch this. Neil Blomkamp's earlier works have been pretty good and he has been a decent director. But sadly Chappie is not and it is pretty bad. The only good thing about Chappie was the idea and that's about it. Like the saying goes, " Idea is there, execution is not."
The casting is horrible. Sigourney Weaver is just about there for two to three scenes. You may as well don't need to have Hugh Jackman in it cause his role, anybody could have done it. In my opinion, Jackman did not do enough to make his character more memorable. The only reason Dev Patel is in this movie is because he's Indian and they needed an IT computer guy. Hahaha. anyway Patel tends to overact sometimes and he was doing that in some scenes. And then you have Die Antwoord. Rappers, Ninja and Yolandi may have some pretty interesting tunes and all but they cannot act for shit. Horrible horrible acting from the both of them. Every scene they are in I am cringing and groaning at their delivery of lines and acting. In fact at some parts of the movie, I started to think that Chappie is just a long ass music video glorifying Die Antwoord. Someone should tell them to just stick to rapping cause their horrid acting is not going to convince anybody.
I did not like the direction and the editing was terrible. There were so many obvious inconsistent cuts. The robots were a little boring and I'm not sure about everyone but to me Hugh Jackman's robot, The Moose does look similar to the bad robot in Robocop.(The one that cant go down the staircase) and I absolutely loathe the ending. Sick and tired of this "happily ever after" bullshit. If you are going to do something as sloppy and shitty as this for the next Alien movie. Then you are no better than that French fuck of a director who did Alien Resurrection. Don't fuck the next one up, Neil Blomkamp and don't get fucking rappers as actors either.
Don't bother watching on a weekend. Just wait for the cable release. Chappie is forgettable.
None. Script is shit.

Shopping for kids shoes has never been an easy task for parents. Infact, in can be quite tedious if you do not have a fair idea of what to look for and what to avoid when buying a pair. Kids deserve all the comfort in the world. Whatever it is that you are buying for them, better to put in some thinking so they get the best.
Shoes that are of great quality, extremely comfortable, provide value for money and look good is what you should be looking at.
Better shoes for better health
When you are out buying kids' clothing, it's a lot about how it looks on your child, although you would consider fit and comfort as well. But when it comes to kids' shoes, you have to go a step further and remind yourself that shoes have an impact on the general health of a child.
The wrong pair of shoes can lead to imbalance or inappropriate alignment and can cause lasting health complications. If the shoe is too tight, it can lead to blisters and infections when worn all day. If the shoes are loose, it has an unpleasant effect on your child's posture in the long run, not to speak of the momentary discomfort that he will feel.
What to consider when you buy kids shoes
-The perfect fit: Shoes should be neither too tight nor too loose. They have to fit in perfectly for best results. So, get your child's feet measured correctly by the sales person every time you are out shopping for his shoes. You can yourself do a quick check by pressing the front of the shoe. There should be about a half inch gap in between the longest toe and the shoe's end.
-The most comfortable: Look for shoes that your child feels comfortable in. He is going to run around and play in them or go to school in them. Basically those shoes are going to be on his feet while he is out doing a lot of different activities. Uncomfortable shoes will only hamper his actions.
-Shoes with closure: Yes, this one is important as well. Because a kid is on the move most of the time, his shoes need to either have laces or a Velcro patch or a buckle. Basically, any kind of closure is fine as far as the shoes don't slip away from under his feet.Avoiding slip-ons and backless shoes would be a good idea until the teen years.
-Kid's choice: Might not seem important to you, but a kid starts having likes and dislikes by this age. It's nice to take care of his preferences too, as a parent. Although, you need to pretty much balance it well with all the other factors above.
Whether it is a pair of sneakers for playtime or shoes for the choir concert at school or shoes that you have to buy for the upcoming camping trip – pick the right shoe for the right occasion keeping in mind all the above points. After all, a happy kid means a happy you!

Super Commuter
Well, I've had the bike for over a month now and I'm loving it. I was tempted to go more simple with a single speed or fixed wheel but I think this bike makes more sense for the length of my commute.
Throughout the winter you don't get many other cyclists on my route but as spring arrives a few of them start to appear. Sometimes when a fully kitted out racing cyclist overtakes you its fun to try and keep up with them. And last week I had the satisfaction of catching and overtaking one as we arrived in Belfast. He'd overtaken me about 2 miles in to the commute so I thought lets see if I can keep up. I stayed about 20 ft behind him – it was hard going at first but after about a mile I got used to the pace and kept my distance for 7 miles then coming up to the last mile I made my move. He never caught me again – I'm sure its quite humiliating being overtaken by someone in their work clothes, especially when you are fully kitted out in Lycra.
Childish I know, but sometimes you need a bit of a challenge on your commute.
It was my sons 6th birthday last week and guess what he got – a new bike! His first proper one with gears. Its actually heavier than mine and he still hasn't learnt to ride properly yet so I might teach him on his sisters old bike first – she's going to need a new one by the summer as well! Hopefully, he will learn soon as the trailer bike we were using doesn't fit on my new bike because of the suspension seat post, but walking to school has been fun as well.
I've also had my camera nicked this week while I was doing a show so no pictures for a while:(

I read your blog with great interest.

I think it is more complicated than you think. I go round a circuit, the Cap d'Antibes, and there's one guy who overtakes me and it looks like he's on his way to a tennis tournament. I watch and learn.
On the same circuit I overtook a tandem recently towing a speed skater. A bit later they overtook me. As I said, I watch and learn.
... and yes, I'm fully kitted out in lyra. Keep the postings coming.

The USDA labeling division has the tough task of making sure labels on packaged meat and poultry are "accurate and not misleading." As you will read at this link, Dr. Richard Raymond, a former USDA undersecretary for food safety, has questions and concerns about the process.
Shakespeare knew that the "pen is mightier than the sword" (Bulwer-Lytton), and he understood that words could cause conflict and confusion. Many of his plays hinge on predictions, inflammatory statements, mistaken meanings, and other word misadventures. In agricultural circles, word wars surface in many ways, and the labeling issue is a prime example.
The pink slime episode also confirmed that in several ways, as this rewrite of an earlier blog examines.
Would Finely Textured Beef by Any Other Name Taste the Same?
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Shakespeare
When several large supermarket chains banned any beef containing lean finely textured meat trimmings, the pink slime issue became even more "textured."
One side, led by Jamie Oliver and ABC Nightly News investigations, indicated that the meat by-product is possibly dangerous, probably treated by a suspect ammonia process, and definitely in need of being labeled whenever it is sold. They say a subtle meat industry practice has forced pseudo beef onto the consumer.
The other side, backed by numerous companies and scientists, claimed the product is safe and approved. They say a slur campaign results in wasted products, higher costs, and the abandonment of a perfectly useful food. Some companies are beginning to process finely textured beef again.
Maybe one thing all sides would agree on is that the "pink slime" term was a master stroke in connotative maneuvering. The pejorative phrase had been around for months, but it caught fire in the media bonfire and led to many consumers calling for slime-free (non-textured) meat.
The meat industry was caught off guard. If they could have come up with a Madison Avenue term for the product early on, the outcry may have been muted. A tough task though, considering the long name they had to work with: Lean Finely Textured Beef. The acronym sounds more like a school club: LFTB. Adding the word "trimmings" allows for an alliteration like "textured trimmings," or using truncated words could make something like Fine Tex Beef, but that sounds like a Lone Star State production.
Maybe the industry should have changed the term completely like other food products have done. Not many would order Slimehead from the fish menu, but its replacement name, Orange Roughy, has worked out fine. Fatty Goose Liver is not in demand, but some French food lovers go for the controversial foie gras. And no need to elaborate about the term Rocky Mountain Oysters.
So, a new name. How about something like "pink protein" or "the other pink meat"? If the color is the problem, then they could try "lean trim protein." That has a healthy sound to it, although it might be too wordy for the Twitter world.
Names aside, the important factors for agricultural products are health, nutrition, and economics. In the New Digital World, communication about these factors is key. Food producers and consumers need to communicate, and the media can be the means or it can be the message--clear or distorted. When it comes to our food supply, honest, thoughtful messages on all sides would be the best items on the menu. As Shakespeare wrote, "This above all; to thine own self be true."

This is the queen of pie crust recipes. It makes 6 crusts at a time (3 double crusted pies or 6 singles), no-fail, and freezes really well.
|5.5 cup
|2 tsp
|1 tsp
|baking powder
|1 lb
|lard (1 brick)
|1 tbsp
Mix together flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in lard. In a 1 cup sized measuring cup, combine vinegar and egg. Add enough cold water to bring the volume to the 1 cup line. Gradually add liquid to flour mixture. Divide into 6 roughly equal portions. I normally make 1 pie and freeze the rest.
To freeze: Form the balls and then flatten to a disk (somewhere between the size of a hockey puck and small frizbee). Put the disks in individual sandwich-sized ziplock bags. Squeeze out the air. Put in the freezer on a flat surface until frozen. The flat disk shape makes it easier to roll out after thawed. Enjoy!

A change of heart
by illimitableoceanofinexplicability
Stahleck Castle by Lambert Doomer
Not a single one of you was, until now, aware of the utter disdain I felt for the international superstar, Kanye West. Nor did you, even for a moment consider how, when seeing his image I did seethe with a rage one would think came directly from the fabled fiery forges of hell, but, I tell you now, it is true, and more terrible still, though I, in good conscience, cannot further inform you of the evil I held within my heart for so long. However, as of yesterday, at about this time, I had 'a change of heart'. This shift in my opinion, this great change in how I feel came upon me in an instant, as if by magic, with the reading of nothing more than the words of the man himself which I do now gladly share with you.
"When you see paintings in an old castle, people are not smiling cause it just wouldn't look as cool."
– Kanye West

Why Yale Medicine?
- Our physicians and staff can offer several tests to accurately identify potential parasites.
- We partner with researchers at the Yale School of Public Health to address ongoing research into parasitic diseases.
- Both stool and blood samples can be examined in order to reach an accurate diagnosis for the type of parasite.
A parasite can sound like something out of a science-fiction movie: A foreign creature enters your body, usually through food, water, or an insect bite, causing anything from minor symptoms to life-threatening illness. Though diseases caused by parasites are far more common in underdeveloped countries, which may have unclean water and poor pest control, they still affect millions of Americans each year. At Yale Medicine's Laboratory Medicine department, these diseases are diagnosed using the most up-to-date testing methods.

Keystone Pipeline is NOT a Job Creator - Suckers Deal Since we get Nothing from it
The problem with the KEYSTONE pipeline is the the USA gets NOTHING out of it --except the pollution from pipeline breaks. No money, no real jobs.
The oil is owned by Canadians -- and the product will NOT power American vehicles but will be exported to other countries. Where is any money or jobs for Americans in that? A few temporary construction jobs (instead of putting those guys to work on replacing 70 year old bridges, roads, etc.).
At most we get15-20 measly permanet jobs of operators running a pipeline in exchange for oil contamination our taxpayers then have to pay for --KEYSTONE is a SUCKERS DEAL (I say that as a trained global negotiator for the Fortune 500, so I know).
No thanks. Veto that sucker!
Its also deadly for our future as a planet: strip mining tar sands is the worst of the dirty fossil fuels, generating the most planet killing carbon. It's an Ugly business vs no carbon wind and solar.

The National Institute of Industrial Technology ("INTI" for its acronym in Spanish) Approved the Creation of the Registry of Suppliers of Renewable Energy
Yesterday Resolution No. 59/2018 was published in the Official Gazette. The Resolution creates the Registry of Suppliers of Renewable Energy (the Registry).
The suppliers and sub-suppliers of electromechanical goods to companies involved in Energy Investment Projects included in the National Programme for the Promotion of the Use of Renewable Sources of Energy (Programme) set forth under Law 27,191 shall be registered in such Registry if they wish to validate their goods as national components for renewable energy projects.
- Such Registry certifies that the electromechanical goods from registered suppliers are of local origin. Such goods may then be computed as domestic components for purposes of determining the local content of goods to be used in investment projects under the Renewable Energy Law.
The inclusion of domestic goods in the Investment Projects is key, since it allows the beneficiaries of the Programme to enjoy tax benefits.
Those beneficiaries that are able to prove that at least 60 per cent –or less in some cases– of the components of their electromechanical facilities are national –excluding civil construction sites– will be entitled to fiscal certificate. Such fiscal certificate may be applied to the payment of federal taxes representing a value of 20 per cent of the national components.
- Additionally the Registry will provide insightful information on the national suppliers and their products, information that may be later used for purposes of further developing the industry.
