Vinyl is a very flexible and low maintenance material.
Vinyl is a very popular deck option since it is extremely flexible and easy to maintain. Vinyl decking is available in many forms, including hollow extrusions and cellular (solid) products. Hollow extrusions are a popular option for both decking and railings. However, cellular products enable manufacturers to create decking products with a more wood-like appearance for those who want a more natural look to their deck.
Why Choose Vinyl: Vinyl decking products can be found in a wide range of styles including options that look like wood but without the downside of warping, splintering, rotting, splitting, or blistering. Vinyl can also be easily washed with a sponge, hose, or pressure washer. Overall, vinyl is a quality option that is very easy to maintain and yet still provides long-lasting quality.
Composite decking can mimic the natural appearance of wood.
While vinyl decking is flexible, composite decking, aka engineered wood, offers even more variations. Composite can offer solid boards, hollow boards, options that are "capped" or "co-extruded" with a layer of PVC, and options without capping. Some options require multiple components for assembly while others are more like building with wood. The only consistent commonality is that they are all made with recycled fibers, plastics, and binding agents.
Why Choose Composite: Composite decking is pre-finished just like vinyl. Composites can also mimic the appearance of other materials, like wood decks, without the need for staining, painting, or regular maintenance. Dirt can also be washed off easily with a mild detergent and a hose. Composites are environmentally friendly, too and up to 95 percent of materials used in manufacture are from recycled sources including wood flour, rice hulls, and plastic containers.
Wood's natural appearance, versatility, and cost make it a popular option.
Wood is the classic deck material and pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine tends to be the most popular wood option. This is because pressure treated wood offers greater affordability and longevity than alternatives. However, cedar is the ideal choice for those interested in a natural look since it naturally doesn't absorb water and won't twist or split.
Why Choose Wood: Wood is flexible and can be crafted in a wide variety of styles and painted or stained in an infinite number of colors. It also costs less to install a wood deck than vinyl or composite, although wood does require maintenance. If the deck is properly constructed and maintained then it will be quite durable and will last for decades. Wood can also withstand high winds better and, unlike petro-based materials, wood, if sustainably harvested, is renewable.
Siting: There are many considerations, including your home's floor plan, orientation to the sun and prevailing wind, landscaping, and utility locations.
Size and shape: Decks are often thought of as distinct outdoor "rooms." There may not be any walls, but your deck may need to accommodate a cooking area, a dining area, a spa area, and a lounging area.
Traffic flow: For decks upon which a variety of activities take place, it's important to plan for traffic flow.
Railing styles: Railings are often the first thing you notice about a deck! Let us help you chose a type that suits your home and landscape – and that ensures the safety of your family and friends.
Privacy: We can offer solutions to homeowners who want privacy and have close-by neighbors, including trellises and pergolas.
Comfort: A deck isn't going to get used when the sun is blistering hot or when it's raining. Ask us about roomy retractable awnings that provide protection from the elements without cluttering up the deck.

Review to calls for measurement of students' annual growth relative to those with same characteristics
The landmark second Gonski report will recommend new structures to measure the performance of education programs but is "philosophical" in tone and does not attempt to dictate specific reforms to schools, Guardian Australia understands.
Based on conversations on background with four sources who saw drafts or were briefed on its contents, the Guardian understands the review of education excellence in Australian schools calls for measurement of students' annual growth relative to students with their characteristics.

Perhaps you are wondering why I write in here all the time again. Well, dedicated fanbase, I think it has something to do with having the internet at home, and not having a whole lot else to do. And needing a sounding board for annoyances (cat, sleep deprivation, bongos, black abyss of a future). Yesterday, after a full night grappling with all of those things, I woke up damn determined to make myself a good day. So I broke out the big guns: a strawberry-mango smoothie, shopping, and ABBA. I think it's physically impossible to be in a bad mood when you hear the opening of "Take a Chance on Me;" that song alone is the reason I enjoyed Get Smart, and no longer hate the Andy character on The Office (although Steve Carell probably had a part in both of those, too).
I've decided to retire my "Bennies" t-shirts from public use. I still love them, but they cause awkward situations, like the time I was accused of playing softball in Wabasso ("that's their team name!") or the time a dude stopped me on the street because he wanted to know where he could get a "Beanies" shirt. We all walked out of those conversations confused. This weekend, I ran into two high school classmates in the mall ("Hey, I haven't seen you in five years!…but you I saw two days ago…") who remarked on the shirt, and then I was stopped by a guy at Caribou who seemed to have modeled his personality after Elf ("you're a Bennie? Congratulations!"). So it's time to stop; I really don't need that much awkwardness focused on my chest.

Major Standards In Finding Out About Ant Control Defined
The ant is a tiny pest and it may actually look to offer no threat when it starts entering your home. The very first thing you need to do as early as you notice ants within your home is to determine what the pests are fascinated by and remove any water and food remnants.
A few of you might state that it is possible to eliminate ants, but it could actually require good pest management skills. Pest control ants' experts can undoubtedly guide you through this procedure and they could ensure that the ants won't return to your home.
Pest Control Costs Reduction
If you will look for an expert to help you manage the ants in your home, it's going to be more affordable for you. These experts buy large quantities with regards to ant pest control items so you might expect that you could get a discount. The expert will, therefore, be able to charge you pocket-friendly rates for the labor.
The expert you employ knows different species of ants and the pesticides that eliminate each category. It will ensure that the items that these providers will purchase can manage these ants.
You can also do this yourself if you want. You could buy the products by yourself, but there are risks where you might make a wrong choice. It could then mean you might frequently buy various items until you reach the accurate one that will cope with the ant difficulty. The experience would end up being pricey both mentally and monetary for you.
If you could hire an expert, you will not have to do everything on your own and you might get rid of the ants. It will also give you some time to do your everyday activities.
Ant Inspection
Buying an ant exterminator may not always solve the pest problem. Ants nest both outdoors and indoors and in tiny entry places which makes them difficult to trace. If you may see their entry points, you may seal the spaces to keep the ants from coming into your property. You may need a bright flashlight to determine the entry ways.
Even so, ants will be coming in from their colony and therefore, aside from inspecting their entry ways, you must know where the territory is so that you kill them from their source. The expert is undoubtedly trained to identify and destroy these colonies.
When you are inspecting indoors, you must look at the moist areas because ants usually hide their eggs there. It, therefore, explains why the ants will mostly invade the kitchen and the bathrooms. You can use your flashlight to check on under the refrigerators, sinks, dishwashers and other similar places.
In case you have any difficulty locating a trail of the ants which could lead you to the source, try out the honey and peanut butter test for the activity. The ants can be attracted to the mixture and they're going to also follow so you can easily know their colony.
Removing Ants
The best method to remove ants is to work out how you may prevent them from entering your home. A pest management professional will help you with the exterminator ants' skills to employ to achieve that goal. The technician can work with your distinct needs and provide the best solution.
Controlling the pests include interior and exterior treatments and placing insect growth regulators across the property. The expert can absolutely identify the places where the ants are probably hiding in your home.
When the ants invade your home, this doesn't imply that there is dirt in your house that is attracting them. It might also state that your house is a haven for them and therefore the excellent method to keep them at bay is to make sure they do not find comfort in your home. One of the ways to keep them away from your property is to vacuum your property regularly. You have to look for the baseboards, the area behind the wooden furniture and other areas that you don't check on consistently.
You should remove your garbage from your property right away. The ants will always check your trash to find food. It will, therefore, imply that keeping them away from your property includes managing the garbage disposal.
Colonies Survival After Treatment
If you'll not use adequate ant treatments, the colonies will continue to thrive. This will result in a neverending circle of treatment without getting rid of them.
Some colonies are hard to determine because they might be located within your wall or far below the surface. These settlements will require companies to discover and deal with them because they need to use specialized equipment.
This queen will probably be able identify its colony and establishes it as a breeding place. She will remain in the nest and it will keep breeding ants. The more ant she creates, the more the demand for the ants to search for them to survive. The ant difficulty in your property will last as long as the queen remains unharmed.
The queen could make worker ants whose main role is to feed the young ones that she creates. The workers will be the one who will go inside your house since they are the ones who are looking for food. Drones and soldiers are the other types of ants.
The expert will be helpful to help in locating the queen and destroying her from the source. This is the only strategy to give your house rest from ant invasion.

First off, this shop needs a basic tech/lubie, and not just all A-tech mechanics. Yes, on slow days everyone does whatever comes in, but there's usually at least one bitch bay for a reason.
Secondly, "After greasing up the front axle, he set the lift back down and drove the car outside." makes no sense, particularly as part of an oil change. For those who are less familiar with cars, the axle's generally have grease as part of an internal assembly (so greasing would be part of a rebuild) or they have u-joints that you force grease into the joint via a fitting using a grease gun.
And yes. I'll be doing this the whole book.
Unless it actually gets pretty hot. Which would be nice, because what I'll refer to as the "lusty narrative longing" is more amusing than compelling. If things stay this way while they get hot and heavy, there will be amused posts of a different kind.
EDIT: they do have a basic tech, he's just away visiting family.

A healthy self esteem starts with awareness. Paying attention about your needs and goals. You are usually encouraged to ignore your own needs because you have to concentrate on living up to other's expectations.
When I was a child I learned that other people were more important than me. My parents didn't tell me this with words, but by example. To build a good self esteem requires that you listen to your intuition, sensations, and insights.
Eight characteristics of a Healthy Self Esteem
I would like to share 8 characteristics of a healthy self esteem. How I have learned to apply them in daily life.
Living Consciously
I have learned to be more conscious every day, through awareness. I do this by listening to me. My own reactions, watching and observing them. By listening to my body: "I am hungry or just eating because I am supposed to do it now?". Listening to my intuition.
Learning from mistakes
Learning to say. "I made a mistake", and learn from it. We make mistakes and the best way I found to understand this is by learning from them.
Listening to other's point of view:
Why is hard to listen to other's people point of view?. Because the tendency is to be right. I had the truth and I always had to be right.
I take care of myself physically by exercising and eating well. Emotionally by clearing negative emotions. Mentally buy reading, learning new things. Spiritually by meditating, being in silence, or praying. For more information check the past newsletters: Taking care of you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually
- How to take care of your Spirit.
- Managing emotions.
- How to take care of your mind.
- How to take care of your body .
Respecting other people differences
We are all different. It took me a long time to understand this. I usually felt safe with people that were just like me. Respecting other people differences doesn't mean to agree with them. Is to understand that they have the right to be different and deserve respect as human beings.
Taking responsibility for our own life
I was raised in an environment were self-responsibility almost didn't existed. It was always other's people fault. Something outside to blame. When I began to take responsibility for my own life and everything started to change.
Being able to speak and act from our own convictions:
I was so afraid to speak up, I had to be the good girl and a pleasing person. Through the years I have learned that by speaking up, I feel better about myself, because I am being loyal to myself.
Having a sense of purpose, a direction:
For many years I have lived hypnotized, not knowing were to go , without any purpose just living in an automatic. Having a sense of purpose is having a good self esteem. You know that what you do is important . You are here for a reason.
Through the years I have learned that in order to have a healthy self-esteem we have to become aware that we have our own value. No matter who do we have in front of us, and that other people have value like us.

Residential development
Boathouse Mews - Clare, Suffolk
This development is in the centre of one of Suffolk's most historic towns. Previously a filling station, the street frontage and existing building range was poor quality and incongruous with its surroundings.
Through consultations with the Parish Council, The Clare Society and Local Authority Conservation Officers we designed a traditional and distinctive Mews Development of 11 dwellings.
The scheme incorporates an assertive townhouse building at the front and all dwellings have access to a private, river-side amenity area.

Parole in libertà is a literary style introduced by Futurism in which the words that make up the text have no connection with each other grammatical - syntactic and are not organized into phrases and sentences. Is abolished punctuation, accents and apostrophes. The principles and rules of this literary technique have been identified and written by Marinetti in Technical Manifesto of Futurist Literature on the 11th of May, 1912 and resumed again in the Destruction of Syntax, Imagination without Strings and Words in freedom.
"Now suppose that a friend of yours has this faculty finds himself in a zone of intense life (revolution, war, shipwreck, earthquake, etc.) And starts right away to tell you his impressions. Do you know what your friend will instinctively do with his lyric, excited? He will begin by brutally destroying the syntax of his speech. Do not lose time building periods. Punctuation and the right adjectives will mean nothing. Despise carvings and nuances of language, and quickly throw you frantically nerves with visual, auditory, olfactory, according to their current pressing. The rush of steam - emotion will burst the period, the valves of punctuation and adjectival clamp. Handfuls of essential words without any formal order. The only concern of the narrator is to make all the vibrations of his ego." —Words in freedom of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti Destruction of Syntax / Imagination without Strings / Words in Freedom.
An example of the use of free speech is given by the book "Zang Tumb Tumb" by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

I have been very lucky in the last couple of years when it come to getting into workshop with Australian and International tutors. Many years ago I saw a quilt called Mekong Gold by Helen Godden, and was just amazed at the creativity and beauty. Over the years I have followed Helen's creative path, I just love the Three Sister quilt, it is just so beautiful.
Anyway a couple of weeks ago I found out the Helen was teaching at Sew This n That in Morayfield. I put my name and Sandra's name on the waiting list, and we both got in to do the workshop. We had so much fun and I enjoyed listening to Helen chatting about her life, ideas and future plans. We also got to see some of her other quilts.
We worked on the 5 x 5 grid on black home spun, I can't wait to get stuck into finishing it now....
|I love doing feathers
|My own design
Oh yeah that's right I have to do the shopping, a little cleaning, play in the garden and catch up with blogging. The quilting may have to wait until next week.
Happy stitchingCathy

Have you ever before wondered how some players can have above a single hundred thousand gold although you are left struggling just to shell out for repairs. When I got my initial character to degree 80 again in Wrath of the Lich King I only had a few thousand gold after all of that questing. I had to preserve for months just to get my epic flying mount. I wondered how all the pro's have been in a position to make gold so easily and even now have time to go raiding and offer with factors in actual lifestyle. Following talking to some of the very best gold makers on my server, as well as gaining knowledge from numerous wow gold guides I identified the answer.
The Auction House.
This is the grandaddy of them all when it comes to creating gold.

Product Description
In a rich blend of cartography and photography, "National Geographic Visual Atlas of the World" celebrates the diverse natural and cultural treasures of the world, through photographic coverage of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, that correlates to beautiful, informative, and accurate maps.
In addition to hundreds of brilliant photographs, these newly compiled and designed map spreads provide accompanying textual descriptions. "From the vast plains of the Serengeti to historic cities such as Vienna, Lima, and Kyoto; from the prehistoric rock art on the Iberian Peninsula to the statue of Liberty; from the Kasbah of Algiers to the Imperial Palace in Beijing - all of these places, as varied as they are, have one thing in common.
All are World Heritage sites of outstanding cultural or natural value to humanity and are worthy of protection for future generations to know and enjoy."World thematic maps reflect fresh, dynamic compilations with the most accurate data available. These skillfully edited maps provide invaluable reference to the trends and characteristics of the critical issues of today: energy, population, religion, economy and trade, natural disasters, conflicts, and climate change.
The atlas is organized by a succinct how-to-use section, an extensive world thematic section covering more than 30 natural and human topics, and maps of the continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Oceania, and Antarctica. All of the continents include regional map coverage, continental physical and political maps at the same scale, and continental thematic maps - all at the same scale for effective comparative views - that speak to population density, energy consumption, economies, climate, natural events and water availability.
Following the continents are the remaining divisions of the atlas: Oceans, Space, an appendix of national flags, country facts and tables, and finally an improved, easy-to-use, comprehensive place-name index filled with over 50,000 entries, that grounds the atlas as an essential, practical, world reference tool.
Pagination:416 pages, 250 maps, 250 colour photographs, 200 illustrations

KIT no KAT
Well there I was – fending off a mid-afternoon pang of choco need, so I popped down to the cornershop, and bought myself a KITKAT. I always feel a bit guilty buying them because Nestle apparently rape babies (RAPE BABIES I TELLS YA!) but they do taste good. Just that right balance between chocolate and wafer.
NOT THIS TIME! I got all Kit (the chocolate) without any KAT (the wafer). I was shocked and amused – at first anyway, I mean it's not everyday this sort of wonder happens is it? I ate the first finger, assuming all would be normal on the second, but AGAIN! it was solid chocolate. I then took a photo about half way through before finishing it off. I was going to save the last two fingers to send back to nestle, but I got hungry a bit later on and ate them too. I'll probably still send them the wrapper and an angry letter of course.

A very lovely couple who are going abroad were looking for a small legal wedding somewhere around the University. You can't do this many places, as you need a permit (esp near Hart House). But if you don't SEEM like a 'wedding', and you don't bother people, and there's just 4 of you, it's possible to find a little nook and be discreet. Here's the 5 of us, looking very happy indeed, on the hill behind Trinity College - the new couple are in the middle, witnesses surrounding them.
Welcome to ElopeToronto.com!
Welcome to ElopeToronto.com! We conduct simple, meaningful, secular (non-religious, non-denominational) humanist marriage ceremonies in Toronto, legally equivalent to a 'civil ceremony' or 'justice of the peace' wedding, for couples looking for an alternative to a 'City Hall' wedding. We also provide simple legal weddings for those planning a destination wedding. Mary is licensed as a Marriage Officiant by the Registrar General of Ontario, and the Ontario Humanist Society

Oh, the adventure. Oh, the drama. Oh, the wrenched shoulder from yanking my backpack up and hurting myself while leaving horrible Logan Airport. Oh, the stories I can tell.
Actually, there aren't many. We kept a low profile, didn't act outrageous, and when we made it to Florida we vegged out and didn't do anything like parasailing or bungee jumping (although I would have if the opportunity presented itself).
Doug, the kids, and I got to Grandma and Grampa's Tuesday night. We made great time, and the kids slept most of the way. They transitioned to bed nicely too, after a short time of running around with the giddy excitement of being awake in the middle of the night.
Oreo made the trip with us. Shirley has another grandchild to love!
And the cat has a friend to try and eat, I mean, make... ha ha ha.
My family, guinea pig and all, left on Wednesday afternoon for home, and I stayed behind.
Before they left, Linda gave the kids her old 80s style Casio Keyboard, which she dug out while packing her stuff. Here, Doug and the shorties give it a whirl. Hours of noisy family entertainment should ensue... Geoff really got a kick out of it, and Jessica took an actual interest. For a kid who thinks everything is "boring," it was nice to see.
It was the weirdest feeling ever to not have them there... but we had a nice time. Linda, mom and I went out to dinner and to a bookstore so I could get some reading materials... Linda and I left my parents house on Thursday morning as planned, only about 2 hours later than we intended. Not bad, considering we are perpetually late in getting started.
That's my dad, my sister and my mom. I'm visible in the top right corner of the picture in my college graduation portrait. Taking the pictures usually leaves me out of the action.
This is Linda's cat, the guinea pig desiring "Precious," or as Geoff calls her, Crecious. He never has gotten the "P" at the beginning right. I like how the flash gleamed in her eye in this one.
And Linda says Goodbye tearfully to Miss Precious Kitty Kitty. Awwwwww Winnna, wattamatta, ah you cwyin? Awwww, Winnna.
Shirley cried a bit (Linda caught her) and Bart was super helpful in the loading of the car... we hit heavy traffic on the Belt Parkway, cruised right the hell over to Staten Island. It was a breeze and a half. But... we got screwed up when we crossed over into New Jersey. (Travel tip for you, DO NOT take the Goethals Bridge over to New Jersey. It is suicide... piece of shit. Take the Outerbridge crossing... it's much better and puts you right where it all makes sense).
I followed the signs to I-95, they indicated neither north nor south in scope, so we found ourselves heading north into Newark. We looped over to like I-278 or some shit, going totally out of our way, and went back down to 440, the Outerbridge crossing, and got on 95. What a great way to start a trip, with a 45 minute detour. Good God.
We made amazing time to Baltimore otherwise... got there right about noon and decided to make the first of our pilgrimages, to Fells Point, home of Homicide: Life on the Streets.
Best TV cop show ever.
We are both big huge giant fans of the show, and it was lunchtime, so we decided to hit a burger joint (none other than Fuddruckers, boys and girls!) and find the hallowed shrine where Bayliss and Pembleton grilled suspects in "The Box," where Crossetti floated face down, where Russert and Felton had their torrid affair, where Gee ran the station with an iron fist and a pasta-loving heart. Aaaah, Baltimore. Charm City. Sweetness.
Lunch at Fudds always makes me think of Dan, and here I'm deciding to document the moment for posterity's sake... going to Fudds without the Guys. Who'da thunk it. Sorry Dan!
There she is. The Old Charm City Police Department Building. The harbor is right there underneath it, and there is a huge long pier, upon which several amazing scenes in H:LOTS were filmed. ("Frank, I need you to absolve me...")
Linda and I were giddy as schoolgirls. We ARE freaks, I know.
The plaque outside the now unused building documents what took place there. And we wept.
The view across the street, cool buildings in Fells Point, mostly pubs, bars, drinkeateries, eatdrinkeries and dives. But they were all cool.
Another view from the backside opposite, with Fells Point boozeries across the street.
In the show, Bayliss, Lewis and Munch all pitch in and buy a bar, and here it is: The Waterfront. This may or may not be the actual storefront of the bar, but it looks like it from what we recall.
This is the interior, and it looks like it is the right place. There was another bar next door, which could have been the place, but it was significantly different, so if it is they've done some major remodeling. This place just looked like it was, with the pulls and the mirrored bar. We had fun discussing the whether or nots of this location... A plaque on the outside here would have been nice too.
The glass doors which lead upstairs to copland... the steps upon which Pembleton saluted Crossetti in full police dress at his funeral after refusing to attend the Catholic Mass, and the city's refusal to give Crossetti a hero's funeral...
Pembleton, played adroitly by Andre Braugher... such a superstar, an amazing actor... totally blows me away.
I had chills recalling this moment. Wonderfully moving episode... and there we were, standing on the same steps of that scene. Sniff. Weep. Sigh.
Before we left Baltimore, I saw this store and couldn't resist taking a picture. Someone else gets the concept of aMuse or a_muse in my case. This is a toy store, and I think I could have just moved in and been happy.
From Balto we jumped back onto 95 and worked our way through Virginia, skipping Washington DC at Linda's suggestion. She suggested that security was going to be a nightmare there, and that we wouldn't be able to just drive and tootle around the way we just did in Baltimore. I agreed, we sped through.
We crashed for the night in Fayetteville, NC. Slept the sleep of death, having spent 14 hours on the road (and licking the dirty steps of television greatness), we were pretty damn wiped out. Got out of the hotel 5 minutes before checkout.
We progressed southward, and made the obligatory stop at South of The Border.
It wasn't nearly as much fun as the times I've been there before. They took down most of their billboards due to protest from the Mexican government... they felt Pedro being depicted as a constant siesta-taking, tequilla-swigging, poncho-wearing lout, and the mock-Spanish writing (Pedro Say "Joost stop you donkey") was offensive. That didn't stop them from using this whack-Spanish lingo on their official website though...
Si, si, Senor! La Seesters Sombrera Grande
at your service.
True, but I'm an Irish chick and I don't have a problem with people referring to my ilk as a bunch of shaleleigh-weilding, whiskey-swilling, leprachaun-molesters. That's funny shit... Stupid President of Mexico, ruining all our fun as capitalistic, materialistic, fat gringos!
So the buildup wasn't there from Virginia southward, and the new billboards are just insipid. There wasn't a lot of merchandise for sale, and it was frigging FREEZING! so we didn't stay long. Long enough to take some Grandma pictures, and I'll be doing a Grandma's Adventures episode here in a few days. We hit the road.
Linda hams it up before we ran out of there shivering.
Oh, and this made my stomach hurt. A black velvet painting of two schmoopy unicorns. It's the size of my couch, lengthwise. It could be yours if you stop and shop at South of the Border!!!! "Interterrible," as my sister would say (long story).
We initially were going to try to hook up with friends of mine who live near Charleston, SC, but they weren't home, so we tootled around Charleston. The day was GORGEOUS and we just drove around looking at stuff. We wanted to also hit Savannah, GA that day, and figured if we got out and walked around we'd never make it. As was we crossed over just at sunset, a most wonderful sunset I might say, and were agog with Savannah. It was lovely, we drove around, checking out all the gorgeous architecture, the people, the sights, the sounds... but alas, could not find a single damn parking space.
We decided after a while to hoof it out of Savannah, and see how far south we could get. We got just south of Jacksonville and stopped for the night at a hotel. Virginia, my sister's best friend and host for her transition, was hoping we'd drive the rest of the way down that night and Linda and I debated the pros and cons. I thought it would be better to spend the dosh on a crashpad instead of spending a few hours in an ambulance/operating room after we got seriously injured in an accident. Six hours more in the pitch dark would get us there at 4am... and there were crazy fucking people on I-95 that night. Everyone was speeding, we were doing at least 85 and people were blowing us away. I thought it'd be better if we had morning light and bright, alert minds on our side. Plus, if we'd gone through, I wouldn't have seen this at a gas station and wouldn't have been horribly entertained:
Hee hee hee. Snark. Isn't Fuelman funny? He looks like a gas pump with an ATM on his chest. And the gas pump is obviously going to his ass, which is SO funny on SO many levels. Okay. Only on one. Gas from his backside. Bwa ha ha!!!! Too damn much. I died laughing. Linda, however, didn't quite see the humor and thinks I am a retard. Well? Huh-yah. Go, Fuelman! Go! Gimme some Fuel, Man! Oh, I kill me.
We got to Ginger & Steve's at about 2 pm after that bright and early start (in spite of our hotel neighbors being noisy assholes at 2am) and collapsed. It was Saturday. We made it. Fort Freaking Lauderdale, baby! Whew!
The weekend was spent relaxing or attending get-togethers with Ginger & Steve's families. It was a load of fun, and we did get downtown into Ft. Liquordale (that's what people call it, I guess... it made me laugh) Sunday for a night time cruise after dinner with Steve's parents/grandma/aunt/brother/brother's girlfriend... Nice city.
We went to a little bar on Hollywood Beach, and there were these three crazy assed drunk Canadians there who were acting like they hadn't heard songs like "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Bat out of Hell" in a hundred years and were playing air piano and doing weird chair dancing with their drunk selves while speaking some whack version of french and english.
We tried not to watch. But they were so funny... and drunk, and entertaining. We thought if we watched them they'd either come over and hang out with us, or come over and try and kill us. Steve, Ginger and Linda have all been instrumental participants in some good bar fights in the past, but I haven't ever. And I figure that 35 is not an age to start.
So we let them do their thing and snickered.
Monday we didn't do much, but at night Linda and I took off to go drive around the city and see another friend of hers who lives there, and I got the kids T-shirts and cool things for me, Doug, Aaron & Michelle from a shop on the strip. It was laid back, man.
My flight home, however, was NOT laid back.
Linda and Steve dropped me off 2 hours before my departure time. I got searched with all due diligence and severity at both the luggage check and in person because I had a one-way ticket. The girl searching my luggage did such a laxidasical and shitty job, and couldn't get all my crap back inside my bag. I basically stood there and laughed. I offered to help her, but she said I wasn't allowed to help or touch my luggage until I next saw it at my destination. It was quite entertaining to watch the poor thing trying to cram all my dirty laundry, my winter coat and shit back into my bag. She looked at me through her eyebrows, and I said "Hey, I got it in there... I bet you can. Don't be delicate, make a fist and pound that shit in there. It isn't Waterford crystal, babe. It's a parka. For when I land. It's cold where I'm going. With my one way ticket." She had to have someone come help her. It made me and the guy behind me laugh.
I didn't laugh when I went through the security checkpoint, though. I set the walk-through thing off because my sunglasses were on top of my head (duh). I totally forgot they were there. So I got escorted by an MP with rifle at ready to be searched by a lady with a magic wand.
My shoe then set the thing off, so they had me take my shoes off (I look like a shoe bomber, don't I? Green Vans sneakers are so damn suspicious!) and they couldn't figure out what inside my shoe was beeping, so they took the lining out. Fuckers, pardon my French It won't go back in right and I was pissed the whole way home. I tell you, security at airports isn't BETTER than before September 11th, it is just SLOWER and more RIDICULOUS. Oh my God. I was so annoyed.
The first leg of my flight was to Atlanta, and was beautiful. We flew really low, and I got a good look at the geography and terrain of South Florida. I got to see the Everglades and Lake Okechobee. From there I had no idea what I was looking at, but it was all cool. Our flight had been delayed in departure, too many jets not enough runway, so we got to Atlanta 10 minutes before my flight to Boston was due to leave. It was luckily at the next gate, and I got on just in time. The flight was bumpy, and we flew really high up there above all the weather... landing was no fun, the approach to Boston was one of the roughest I've ever experienced. The pilot apologized to each of us as we "deplaned" (I love that fake word).
At the baggage claim, a few of us who had come all the way from Ft. Lauderdale didn't have our bags appear. Seems they didn't get our stuff on the transfer plane, even though the planes were right next to one another and there were only three of us. Doug and the kids were late in getting to me due to Doug missing the ramp (they moved it since the last time he was there and he was foncused) so we waited and waited to see if my luggage would show up. Finally this guy "Parker" told us the next plane from Atlanta would most likely have our luggage on it, and that wouldn't be in until 12:45am... so they would courier our shit out to us. Great.
So we left empty handed, had dinner, Geoff fell asleep at the restaurant. He was unhappy that he wasn't getting ON an airplane at the airport... that they were just picking me up. So it took a long time for him to get happy. I had to threaten to get on a plane and leave again if he didn't. He straightened right up. We got home, I watched the Osbournes (Laugh My Ass Off Funny last night with Sharon throwing a ham at the "wanker" neighbors!), and crashed.
There's the update. We made it down, I made it back. Now Linda has to get an asskicking rockstar job and rule the universe. Keep her in your prayers boys and girls, and we shall keep you posted on the goings on in the Southland for her. She rules!
Now, I have dishes to do here kids. Seems that penance for abandoning my family for a week is that I get to do all the housework they didn't do in my absence.
Special thanks here go out to Steve and Ginger for the groovy futon crashpad, the great hosting, and the rolling tour of the vicinity. You guys are awesome! And thank you for taking care of my Freaky baby sister. Don't let her get down on herself. Kick her ass periodically.
And teach the bitch how to cook, fer chrissake! (grin).

Beach at Culebra Island, Puerto Rico © Hmalaret
Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island with a difference.
It has the pristine beaches, tropical climate, crystal-blue sea,
and coconut palms characteristic of its counterparts. But along
with its unmistakable Spanish colonial heritage, the island today
is also part of the United States Commonwealth, meaning it has a
first-world infrastructure mixed in with its traditional Latin
American culture. Hamburgers are as endemic as island dishes like
sancocho, and freeways connect shantytowns to strips of
high-rise beachfront hotels.
Exploring Puerto Rico, both around its coast and throughout its interior, is a delight. Roads are excellent and there are numerous interesting attractions and unrivalled experiences, from one of the world's largest radio telescopes to the magical experience of swimming at night amongst tiny phosphorescent creatures on the offshore island of Vieques.
Puerto Rico, like many other Caribbean islands, was originally inhabited by Taino Indians until the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the instigation of Spanish rule and settlement. The island's capital and larger towns have preserved their Spanish heritage as 'old quarter' tourist attractions, full of charm and interest. Puerto Rico is a hybrid of old and new, which makes it an intriguing cultural destination rather than just another tropical island paradise.

A still life with artificial flowers, flock wall paper and lace doilies is to be the first in a series of government art commissions which will see prints being sent out to embassies around the world.
Details were announced on Monday of a £500,000 scheme commissioning 10 artists over 10 years to create limited edition prints for diplomatic buildings. The first commission is the painter Hurvin Anderson.
Anderson was asked to come up with a work about Britain and responded with a snapshot of his mother's front room in Birmingham. His parents were part of the Windrush generation and the glass vase is one of his mum's prized possessions, which travelled with her from Jamaica.
Given the works will be on embassy walls, Penny Johnson, the director of the Government Art Collection (GAC), said they had to work within certain parameters when commissioning the artists. No nudity, for example, or bodily fluids, and not too much politics.
"We are not going to choose an artist who is heavily political because we know we can't show their work." There was, though, much work in the wider collection that was political, Johnson said.
The idea is that 30 prints will be made, with 15 going out to diplomatic buildings across the world. A further 11 will be sold by the Outset contemporary art fund to raise money for the GAC, and the remainder will be held by the artist and their dealer.
The ambassador to Paris was at the GAC last week and had already asked for one of the Anderson prints, Johnson said. The money raised from print sales would be spent on acquiring works by emerging artists.
"It is very important for our collection that we continue to acquire and show and reflect the society that we're living in," she said.
The money for the initiative, called TenTen, is being given by the Walmart heir Sybil Robson Orr, a film and stage producer, and her husband, Matthew. It follows a similar scheme they funded in the US.
Anderson was shortlisted for last year's Turner prize displaying paintings of the Birmingham barber's shop his father went to alongside lush landscapes of an imagined Jamaica. Anderson, born in 1965, was the youngest of eight siblings and the only child not born in Jamaica, which has instilled an interest in his dual identity that can often be seen in his work.

I was alone in the house when the door bell chimed.
I was expecting the man who promised to come and inspect the broken window pane. Instead, there was a nice lady who wished to inform me about Jesus. She handed me the above notice, and I thanked her.
Subsequently I have learned that other commitments will prevent me from attending. I am hoping somebody reading this post will take careful notes at the meeting and get back to me. Look forward to a follow-up in a future post.
And may Jesus have mercy on your soul.

SAN JOSE, Calif. � One year after playing for the Eastern Arizona Gila Monsters, Spencer Coleman will face off against mighty Syracuse this evening.
The South Eugene graduate helped 13th-seeded Montana reach the NCAA Tournament in his first season with the Grizzlies, and tonight they will battle the fourth-seeded Orange in the second round at 6:57 p.m. at HP Pavilion.
�They are a great program with a lot of history behind them, but watching film you realize you are not the kid watching them like they are almighty,� Coleman said before practice Wednesday night. �They are a great team, but they are beatable and that is what we plan on doing.�
March Madness loves the upset and Montana is about a 13-point underdog on the betting lines.
�They are in the Big East, one of the biggest conferences with great talent all around,� Coleman said. �Everyone on our team believes we can win and play with that caliber of players. Just because we are from a smaller conference doesn�t mean we can�t compete.�
Coleman, who was an all-conference basketball player and wide receiver at South Eugene when he graduated in 2010, played two seasons at Eastern Arizona and earned junior college All-American honors when he averaged 15.1 points and 7.3 rebounds as a sophomore.
He signed with Montana in April and has played in all 31 games for the Grizzlies (25-6), who won the Big Sky Conference regular-season title and conference tournament.
Coleman averages 7.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game with 23 steals on the year.
�It�s definitely a process, getting adjusted throughout the year and finding where I fit in and what I need to do,� Coleman said. �It helped out a lot when we all started finding our roles.�
Coleman has started 13 of the past 14 games and Montana has won 12 of those games. The 6-foot-6, 198-pound junior was originally a small forward but moved to power forward when the team�s leading scorer, Mathias Ward, suffered a season-ending foot injury on Feb. 16.
�You hope for your junior college kids to really start to produce right after Christmas, and that�s about when he started getting things going,� Montana coach Wayne Tinkle said. �His ability to stretch the defense shooting the ball, he can drive it, he can post, and he�s become a better defender and really done a nice job on the glass for us, which was a big key. It�s nice having a guy out there that has perimeter skills when you are playing him in the post.�
Coleman has scored in double figures in 10 games, including a season-high 20 against Idaho State. He is shooting 51.8 percent from the floor and 40.4 on three-pointers.
�It makes it a lot easier playing with some of the great guards we have,� Coleman said. �They create and I am there with open shots.�
Coleman has been a key player all season for the Grizzlies as he played 21 minutes in the opening game and averaged that amount of time on the floor all season.
�I didn�t think anything would be given to me, but the plan was to come here and contribute right off the bat,� Coleman said. �I kept working and got my opportunity. I have been playing well lately, defense and rebounds are what we need and if we need points, that happens.�
The Grizzlies will likely need plenty of points tonight to keep up with the Orange (26-5).
�This was the overall dream,� Coleman said. �I wanted to go to a team that had a chance to do this and I saw the pieces. We are all doing what we need to do, and that got us to this point.�

WATERVILLE, Maine -- Despite a 10-6 hit advantage, the Colby College baseball team fell 6-4 to Husson University in non-conference play Tuesday night.
Husson improves to 16-12 overall, while the Mules drop to 7-17.
Andrew Della Volpe finished with three hits, one run, and an RBI for Colby. Ben Coleman (pictured) added two hits and one run. Matt Garcia hit his first home run of the season.
Smith gave up eight hits over five innings, but struck out six and walked none. Nick Guerrette pitched the final two innings for his third save of the season, allowing no hits and striking out two. Jesse Colford pitched 1.1 innings, did not allow a hit, and also struck out two.
With one out in the second, Christian Cornell was hit by a pitch and moved to second on Chapman's single. The runners moved over a base on a Matthew Smith ground out. On an unusual play, Mule starter Bobby Forese had a ball in the dirt that catcher Della Volpe blocked and dribbled about eight yards to his left. Della Volpe tried to make a quick flip throw to Forese to get Cornell coming in from third base, but the ball got past him and went up the first base line. That allowed Chapman to score all the way from second on a headfirst slide.
Coleman helped Colby tie the game at 2-2 in the third inning. He had a one-out single, stole second base, and then took third on a balk. Matt Treveloni, the leading hitter on the Mules, singled to bring in Coleman.
After a pitching change, Rebar stole second base and Sam Huston walked to load the bases. Cornell followed with another walk to force in Wong from third. Chapman singled to bring in Reber with the other run.
The Mules bounced back with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to get back in the game. Keenan Iuliano doubled to lead off the inning and scored on Della Volpe's double. Della Volpe tagged and took third based on a long fly out to center field. William Wessman brought in the final run with a sacrifice fly to center field.

Everyday stress is a given for parents. You won't have to think too hard to find something that brings on some degree of stress whether it's financial, work related, being disorganized or worrying about a family member or friend.
There are different levels of stress. More severe stress can lead to more serious issues such as depression, anxiety and even panic attacks. A lot of people don't recognize the symptoms related to anxiety and panic and will often feel awful and genuinely be convinced that they could be seriously ill.
Parents with sick children are often under a lot of added stress, meaning that there are numerous parents that could potentially end up feeling depressed and anxious. When you consider the growing number of children with autism, epilepsy, down's syndrome and other long term health related issues you can just imagine how large these numbers are. Besides the financial and health stressors having a child with health challenges can take its toll on the relationship between the mom and dad too.
Over the years I have known a number of families that have dealt with a sick child, children with various disabilities, or even the loss of a child. It is not uncommon to see some of these relationships really struggle and sometimes even fall apart. In order to get through these extremely difficult times and remain as a couple you need to have a strong relationship. Often a weaker relationship will not survive the extra pressures placed upon it. While some couples will come together when challenged with adversity and become stronger because of their shared commitment, others will become separate and try to deal with issues in very different ways; often becoming the undoing of their relationship. It's important to realize that not everyone deals with challenges the same way and because the other person does things in a different way to you, it doesn't make them a bad person, just someone with a different way of dealing with things.
Some people become much stronger and more determined when faced with an unexpected or difficult situation, especially when it's related to their child. The other partner may be just as worried and concerned but cannot access that place of strength within themselves or be able to problem solve. Sometimes they end up just not being able to face the reality of what's happening. Parents are often guilt ridden; they feel that when something is wrong with their child that it has to be something that they have done or not done.
How to recognize the symptoms of depression, anxiety and panic attacks:
Depression: Some of the more common symptoms of depression are changes in sleep patterns, some may find themselves sleeping much longer, others are not getting enough sleep or having difficulty getting to sleep. Lack of concentration and finding it challenging to do things that used to come easily, having a lot of negative thoughts and can't seem to shake them. Feelings of hopelessness and feeling helpless, being short tempered and irritable, loss of interest in things are also symptoms. In more serious cases some feel that life is not worth living, in such cases as this help should be sought right away.
Anxiety: Feeling anxious is a normal reaction to many of the things that we have to do in life that we are nervous about. It can be going for a job interview, making a presentation waiting for the results of a test etc. Like stress it's a normal part of life until it becomes excessive then it becomes an anxiety disorder. Some symptoms of anxiety disorder are: Feeling constantly on edge and worried, having irrational fears, worrying that things are going to go wrong, or something terrible is going to happen,. Starting to avoid everyday situations because they make you feel anxious or affecting your work, school or other daily activities.
Panic attacks: A lot of people that are suffering from panic attacks think that they are having a heart attack and that they could die. The symptoms can be really scary, these are just some of the symptoms that people have, shortness of breath, chest pains, feeling light headed, heart palpitations, dizziness, feeling hot then getting cold chills, shaking, and feelings of dread.
The main thing is to not let things go to the extreme, try to be vigilant and do what you need to do for yourself. If things do seem to be getting worse then you should seek some professional help. There is a lot of help available now including books and online information on this topic. Things have come a long way over these past few years. In general these conditions were not given the attention they deserved leaving a lot of people in the dark as to what was going on with them. Many of the doctors didn't have a clue either.
Look after yourself. Make sure that you do some things that you enjoy. Get a baby-sitter make sure you get some time together as a couple. Go out for dinner; try to get a weekend away occasionally. Take up an activity like golf; it's one of those activities that takes your mind off everything other than what you're doing. If you are not an expert that's okay you can do some practicing at home, the medicus driver can really help you to get a proper golf swing so that you get more enjoyment from your game.
It's also important that you do things at home for yourself too. Eat healthy get your rest, try deep breathing and meditation. Take a long relaxing bath when you can, listen to music that you enjoy. If you like to dance then dance around the house. Find a few home hobbies, you can learn and do almost anything at home these days. If you like art; you may want to learn oil painting or watercolours. Just think of things that you would like to do. It's good for you and your child when you are taking care of yourself. When you do things for yourself you become better able to care for others.

I look at buildings, bridges, gadgets and now highways to see and understand their underlying structure. My abstract, acrylic & collage paintings are grounded in these structures. Highways represent roads to get somewhere physical or to escape from somewhere. I create my work in much the same way that highways are built - in layers with sawdust, papers, rope, string, twine and fabric. These materials add texture below the surface of my acrylic paint.

For a shameless libertine and a wily smuggler in the London Underground, marriage is more than convenience—it's strategy...
Christopher "Kit" Ellingsworth, war veteran and newly minted Earl of Blakemere, buries his demons under every sort of pleasure and vice. His scandalous ways have all but emptied his coffers . . . until a wealthy mentor leaves him a sizeable fortune. The only stipulation? He must marry within one month to inherit the money. Kit needs a bride and the bold, mysterious Miss Tamsyn Pearce seems perfect.
Husband hunting isn't Tamsyn's top priority—she's in London to sell her new shipment of illicit goods—but she's desperate for funds to keep her smuggling operation afloat. When a handsome earl offers to wed her and send her back to Cornwall with a hefty allowance, Tamsyn agrees. After all, her secrets could land her in prison and an attentive, love-struck spouse could destroy everything.
But when an unexpected proviso in the will grants Tamsyn control of the inheritance, their arrangement becomes anything but convenient. Now, Kit's counting on his countess to make his wildest dreams a reality and he plans to convince her, one pleasurable seduction at a time.
I'm going to be married to this man? Mercy.
They pulled back in unison and her eyes flew open. His gaze was clouded with dazed pleasure and astonishment.
It seemed he'd also been shocked by the heat of their kiss and the speed of its intensity. He, a known rake and libertine, looked aroused by what surely had to be one of the chastest kisses he'd experienced in a long while.
Except it hadn't been chaste. It had been brief, but their tongues lightly touching had been profoundly erotic, hinting at greater pleasure to come.
He cleared his throat. "That was . . . a welcome revelation."
Her thoughts whirled while her body clamored for more. Hellfire—if this quick kiss had affected her so much, what would happen when they went to bed together? What if she liked it? What if she loved it, and her heart followed her body's devotion?
Tamsyn was about to join with this man for the rest of her life. Aside from a few facts, she knew almost nothing about him. He was basically a stranger. Yet in three days, they would share a bed. They would share everything. According to the law, she would belong to him, and her own identity would dissolve.
Was this the right choice? She'd gotten what she wanted, but she couldn't help the fear that poked its sharp fangs into her heart.
I have no idea what I'm getting myself into.
To celebrate the release of COUNTING ON A COUNTESS, Avon Romance is giving away 3 paperback copies of
FROM DUKE TILL DAWN by Eva Leigh!
Enter HERE
~~Reviewed by AnnMarie~~
Counting on a Countess is the second book in The London Underground series by Eva Leigh. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone book.
Christopher "Kit" Ellingsworth earned himself the title of Earl of Blakemere when he was at war. Now a veteran and at home, he spends all his time making merry in order to bury his nightmares from the war. His ultimate dream is to design and operate a pleasure garden in London. He wants to experience the pleasure that would bring but also bring happiness to others. The problem is that he doesn't have the funds to fulfil that dream. That is until a wealthy mentor surprisingly leaves a fortune to Kit in his will. The only stipulation being that Kit must marry before he is entitled to the money, and he only has one month to find a wife!
Tamsyn Pearce is from Cornwall and is in London to find a buyer for smuggled goods. She's been a smuggler for many years in order to keep her village from becoming destitute. Her home is built in the perfect position for the smuggling operation but her uncle owns it and is planning on selling it which would put the whole operation in jeopardy. She needs to keep selling smuggled goods so that she can at least have enough money to offer a deposit on the house so that she can eventually buy it. When she can't find a buyer for her latest haul of goods she is devastated and realises that her best chance of keeping her house would be for her to marry.
How fortunate that it is that Tamsyn is brought to the attention of Kit. After a very short courtship they wed, she knows why he needs to marry her, for the inheritance, but he has no idea why she needs to marry him. Still, they go ahead with it and are both in for another shock from Kit's dearly departed mentor. He won't allow the funds to go to the couple unless Tamsyn is in control of the purse strings. It's the man's way of making sure that Kit doesn't go through the money like water as he is known to do.
That is where the story really takes off. Tamsyn has to keep her smuggling secret because Kit is as law-abiding a person as there could be, and he has no idea that she wants to use some of the inheritance to buy her family home. Kit, of course, wants to build the pleasure garden which he just knows Tamsyn will see as a frivolous waste of money. His best bet is to try to woo her so that when he does ask her for the money she won't be able to tell him no. What he doesn't expect is the during the wooing of her he starts to have genuine feelings towards her. She too starts feeling for him too but both keep that a secret just as much as they keep their agendas secret. What will happen when those secrets are exposed. Will Kit have his dream come true, and what of Tamsyn, can she keep her village flourishing by smuggling without Kit finding out and reporting her to the authorities?
There is such a lot going on in this story, it's one of those books that you don't want to put down until you find out what happens next. Throughout the story, it was wonderful to see how Kit and Tamsyn fall in love, but it was also a constant worry about how they could possibly have a future when they are such different people with such different plans. They are both such headstrong characters that I honestly couldn't see how they would be able to have their happy ever after. I really enjoyed how the author chose to conclude the story, especially with the scenes involving Tamsyn's horrid aunt and uncle. It was a very satisfying moment!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader's copy of this book.
