Will a Drunk Driving Charge Change my Car Insurance?
The short answer is Yes!
Pay close attention, I am about to tell you about a topic that most other attorneys will not. That's because the law isn't very clear about insurance. Georgia requires that you have an auto insurance policy with a minimum liability coverage, but the state doesn't outline much else. In Georgia the minimum liability coverage is:
- $25,000 of bodily injury liability for one person in one accident;
- $50,000 bodily injury liability for all persons injured in one accident; and
- $25,000 property damage liability for one accident.
This is just basic coverage that protects other motorists on the road. If you are convicted of a DUI your auto insurance policy will almost certainly be affected.
If you have been charge with a DUI contact me now at (770) 387-4529 for a free consultation!
Almost all insurance companies will cancel a driver's auto insurance policy if a DUI conviction is reported on their driving record. If the policy is not canceled, the insurance company will probably rewrite the policy and require much higher insurance premiums. The insurance companies classify drivers convicted for DUI as high risk.
Generally, high risk auto insurance policy premiums can range anywhere between $3,600 – $6,000 or more per year. Monthly, that's $300 – $500. A conviction for DUI will remain on your driving record for 7 years and may impact premiums for that long. 3 years of premiums could cost upwards of $18,000.
So if you add up the true cost of a DUI in Georgia including fines, fees, and insurance premiums we are talking close to $25,000.
The only way to prevent your insurance from skyrocketing is to prevent a conviction for DUI in the first place.
The best way to prevent a conviction is to hire an attorney to represent you.

When it comes to content marketing, the 80/20 rule suggests that only a small fraction of published content is actually capable of achieving the results you need. Identifying what it is that makes that content great is the key to effective content marketing.
In parts one and two of this series, I began to lay out the process I use to accurately determine which kinds of content are most valuable. In this post, I will continue outlining this process, by showing you how to add position data to your Content KOB tab.
Step 4. Add position tab data to your Content KOB tab
We now have all the data we need for each competitor, so all that's left is for us to organize it all in a way that's parsable.
To do this, access your content KOB tab, and add four new columns to the right of column A (which should be titled "URL").
Name these four new columns in this order, from right to left:
- # of KWs in Top 10
- # of KWs in Top 20
- Estimated Traffic
- Average Difficulty
Now your columns should be in this order with the columns 2-5 being empty at the moment
- # of KWs in Top 10 (empty)
- # of KWs in Top 20 (empty)
- Estimated Traffic (empty)
- Average Difficulty (empty)
- URL Ahrefs Backlinks
- URL Ahrefs Ref Domains
- URL Total Shares
- Domain Ahrefs Backlinks
- Domain Ahrefs Ref Domains
For visual reference, it should look like this:
Now we want to have this Content KOB tab pull the needed information from the positions tab on the same sheet. To do this we have to employ some google sheets formula-wizardry.
For "#'s of KWs in top 10" paste in this formula:
This will look up the URL, check the positions tab for that exact URL, and count how many KWs next to the URL are in positions 1–10.
Note: If you're having problems, double check that you spelled "positions" correctly on the tab name, and that your tab name matches the name in the formula. Next, check that the order of your columns is exactly as I described above.
For "# of KWs in top 20" paste in this similar formula:
For "Estimated Traffic" paste in this formula:
This will pull the estimated traffic for each KW and add it all up. If you're wondering how Ahrefs calculates estimated traffic, it basically estimates how many people click through to the ranking page based on a average percentage that each rank gets of the ranking KWs monthly search-volume.
I don't know exactly how Ahrefs breaks down these percentages but a public facing study breaks down it down like this:
- 1: 31%
- 2: 25%
- 3: 11%
- 4: 8%
- 5: 6%
- 6: 4%
- 7: 4%
- 8: 5%
- 9: 4%
- 10: 2%
For "Average Difficulty" paste in this formula:
This will simply average out the difficulty score of all the KWs the URL is ranking for (which is why we had to clean up the difficulty data in step 1).
Once you have plugged in all these formulas and double checked they are pulling the right data, you can simply highlight the first cell with the right data, ctrl + shift + down, select the rest of the cells in the column, and then hit ctrl + enter.
This will apply the rest of the cells to this formula.
Repeat this process for every competitor.
This is part three of a four-part series on creating quality content. In the fourth-and-final part, we'll bring it all together, to show you how to finalize your process for identifying effective content.

Second Receiver Setup Instructions: DISH
Follow these simple instructions to learn how to set up your DISH-compatible second receiver for use with our KING satellite TV antenna.
Initial Setup for Second Receiver
1. With the antenna locked on the satellite and the second receiver connected to the antenna unit's AUX port coax, use your DISH remote control and press MENU, 6, 1, 1 to display the Point Dish screen.
2. Use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight Check Switch. Press SELECT on your remote.
3. Verify SuperDISH and Alternate are not selected. Verify Test is highlighted. Press SELECT on your remote.
4. When test is complete, highlight Save. Press SELECT on your remote.
Downloading Programming to the Second Receiver
After completing the steps on the previous page, reset the second receiver by pressing the POWER button on the front panel for 10 seconds. The TV picture will go away and should reappear within two minutes.
The receiver will then download the program guide to show only the channels available on the current satellite as determined by the channel selected on the main receiver. Downloading the new program guide can take up to five minutes to complete.
The channels available on the second receiver are determined by the channel/satellite selected on the main receiver. For example, if you select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from the 119 satellite, then the second receiver will be able to view any channel broadcast from the 119 satellite.
If you switch channels on the main receiver to one that is broadcast from a different satellite, (for example, your channel was broadcast from satellite 119 but your new channel is broadcast from the 110), the antenna will automatically switch to the 110 satellite and programming will be lost on the second receiver until you either:
• Select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from the previous satellite (satellite 119 in this example).
• Reset the second receiver by following INITIAL SETUP FOR SECOND RECEIVER (on previous page) to download the program guide for the newly selected satellite (satellite 110 in this example).
NOTE: Using a second receiver requires KING satellite TV antenna to have dual outputs. If you choose a channel on the main TV that causes the antenna to switch satellites, you may have to run a check switch on the second receiver.

Guys, I was in FORMATTING HELL last week!!
Poetry is a beast messily slain for I had dull spears to fight with. 😛
One dull spear being the editing one, because I have legit never really edited poetry in my life. Sure, I sometimes change a line or two, but I've never rewritten that crap before. It was a good experience though, and I learned some things, mostly about myself. Lol!
Creatively speaking, things have been at a standstill the last few weeks because I've been stressed about formatting the poetry book. I finally talked myself into sitting down one afternoon and figuring it out. It took me several hours over three days, but I'm finished!!
I still have a couple of read throughs and formatting checks to do, and I still need to finalize the title page, which I'll do when I have my cover done, and I also need to finalize the retailer blurb, but everything else is done, decor included. 😀
The problem is that I couldn't use my formatting software for the print book because I'd end up with weird page numbers and a bunch of other weird things, given how poetry isn't usually formatted the same way novels are, and I want things to be fancy! The other problem is that I couldn't figure out, at first, how to use the software for the ebook, again because it's set up for novels, so there's a bit of extra formatting involved in getting the alignment of everything right, which I did figure out, but not until after I spent about four hours messing around with no less than five other options that either presented issues I had no control over or options that were honestly just going to be a huge pain.
The print version wasn't that bad. Yeah, I got frustrated a couple of times, but overall, it just took some time. A lot more time than a novel because there are so many more separate pieces. Part of the frustration is my own damn fault, because I was like, "ooh, how about I have a different font for each section?" NO, KRYSTAL, WHY?! I spent more time trying to make a decision and then changing my mind fifty times than I did applying the styles to the document.
So, I formatted the print version in Word with a poetry template from BookDesignTemplates.com, because one, I already had it – I picked it up as part of a sale when I got the template for NO REST FOR THE WICKED two years ago – and two, like I said, the software I have (Vellum) isn't great for poetry. Though it is perfectly fine for a poetry ebook, since things need to be more flowable and less fixed anyway, unless you want to annoy the crap out of anyone reading the book.
So, while it was tedious to adjust all those poems and titles separately, it was also mildly meditative, and hugely satisfying when I was done. And hey, things look really good! ^_^
Yeah, thought I'd share my pain. Lol! But I can get back to my novels now and hopefully do some more reading. This is definitely a lot more time consuming than a novel. Faster to read. Easier to edit. I guess my time has to spiral out of control somewhere.
Sooo, writing update coming next week! I know you're all excited about what I'm juggling over here. 😀

By virtue of its elegant yet progressive design, VAIA harmoniously blends into traditional and modern-minimalistic architectures – as well as those that combine elements of different styles. A characteristic feature of VAIA are the soft radii, the fine silhouette and the flowing transitions. The conical rosettes appear to almost merge with the washstand. The craftsmanship is precise, down to the last detail: the joints are meticulously defined and the hidden aerator remains unnoticed until the water flows.
DARK PLATINUM MATT, DARK BRASS MATT and DARK BRONZE MATT: the new colour collection is characterised by its dark, silky-matt shades and slight brushstroke texture. Warm, soft and earthy, they embody a sense of originality and cosiness, thereby creating highlights in the bathroom which are equally archaic and contemporary. Exclusive to VAIA, the new finishes supplement platinum matt and polished chrome to provide new inspiration and even more creative scope.
Thanks to a specially developed manufacturing process and a unique matting method that all of Dornbracht's finishes share, DARK PLATINUM MATT, DARK BRASS MATT and DARK BRONZE MATT raise the bar for depth and brilliance of colour to an unprecedented level. Additionally, the silky surface texture originating from the particularly fine brushstrokes is also exceptionally pleasant to the touch.
VAIA is based on the design principles that characterise all the Dornbracht series. The "5 Ps" – Proportion, Precision, Progressiveness, Personality and Performance – create a sustainable and long-lasting aesthetic appeal that is evident in the new VAIA series: its proportions are balanced, harmonious and precise. Its design is shaped by clear lines and exact transitions. The workmanship is outstanding, down to the last detail. VAIA picks up the latest trends in interior design, not to imitate them, but to give them a new interpretation, which – along with the new colour collection – contributes to a progressive style of interior architecture.

Hi there friends, I'm here with a little Design Team inspiration post for you and I'm combining this card with the latest challenge over at Less is More too. It's our ONE layer week with a 'Sweet' theme and these gorgeous cupcakes jumped out of my stash and begged me to include them!
How could I resist! My card involves some masking, first with the front cake, then the rear one then both while I inked through a Concentric Grid stencil by My Favourite Things. I used Delicata Gold ink for the stencilling but sadly the shimmer isn't very noticeable on the photograph. The other inks are Altenew and I simply had to add some sparkle with glossy accents to my sprinkles and glamour dust to the icing.
The 'with cake' sentiment is from the 'Celebrate with Cake' set and the 'Celebrate' from All Occasion Sentiments #6
If you'd like play along at Less is More this week then you have until Friday, 16th June at 10pm BST to link up and don't forget it's a CLEAN & SIMPLE challenge and this week your card must be on ONE layer only to be eligible for the showCASe or monthly prizes.
Have a good day and I hope you fit some crafting into it.

Any US decision to divest itself of the L-3 Communications C-27J Spartan will change the dynamics of Canberra's Air 8000 Phase 2 requirement for 10 battlefield airlifters. Australia is considering two aircraft for the requirement: Alenia Aeronautica's C-27J and the Airbus Military C-295.
"What the United States has announced in recent days has essentially been a decision to produce and purchase no more C-27s and to divest itself of its current capability," said Minister of Defence Stephen Smith.
© L-3 Communications
"That is obviously a very, very relevant material fact so far as our consideration of these two aircraft is concerned, and that is something that we are now giving exhaustive consideration to."
Smith was referring to a 26 January announcement by the US Department of Defense that will see the US Air Force divest the C-27J in addition to other major cuts.
On 31 October 2011, Australia announced plans for the long-awaited replacement of the de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou aircraft that were retired in 2009, with the C-27J apparently favoured for the requirement.
Two months later, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the possible sale of 10 C-27Js to Australia for $950 million by prime contractor L-3 Integrated Systems. Associated equipment would include 23 Rolls-Royce AE2100D2 engines, countermeasures equipment to be supplied by BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman, plus Northrop's APN-241 tactical transport radar, which offers a high resolution synthetic aperture radar mapping mode.

How to Explore the Seppeltsfield Region
Winemaking is at the heart of the Barossa Valley, a region rich in rolling fields and lush vineyards. Seppeltsfield is one of the oldest wineries in the region and the whole of Australia, dating back to 1851. Today, it is best known for its signature wine, the 100-year-old Para Tawny.
The winery itself is set on the Western Ridge of the Valley, bringing together more than 420 acres of ancient land, including vineyards, sprawling gardens, and beautiful, heritage-listed architecture.
Surrounding the winery is a small settlement known simply as Seppeltsfield, which joins up with the districts of Greenock and Marananga. Together, they make up the most western townships of Barossa. This area is characterised by rolling green hills, ancient vineyards, and picturesque landscapes that seem to unfold all around.
Seppeltsfield Winery itself is known for its grandeur – an element that can be witnessed first-hand in the drive up to the property, where more than 2,000 Seppeltsfield Winery Old Car Canary Island Date Palms line the approaching avenue.
When guests arrive at Seppeltsfield, they are greeted by a playground of wine, food, art, and design. The cellar door and tasting rooms prove to be popular attractions, while the FINO Restaurant serves up delicious local cuisine that has been freshly picked and grown for the season.
Elsewhere, the JamFactory Contemporary Art and Design studios add to the cultural charm of Seppeltsfield, boasting changing exhibitions of local and international artists.
The Seppelt family themselves take up a prominent place in Australia's winemaking history. During the 19th and 20th centuries, they were known for their generous hospitality and commitment to the winemaking process. Acting as a landmark of South Australia, the winery warmly welcomed guests from far and wide. Today, the owners continue to play to this theme, bringing the "village" vision the Seppelt family had of the area to the masses.
The beauty of Seppeltsfield extends to its excellent array of Botanic gardens. As well as the Avenue of Palms, there is "village central". This is a pretty, citrus-lined courtyard complete with a charming water feature. It serves as the gateway to the winery's cellar door, and features an alfresco dining area for those who want to tuck into some of the delicious dishes at FINO.
A trip to the Barossa Valley isn't complete without stopping off at Seppeltsfield. This historic winery is one of the longest standing in the region, and continues to bring the years of dedication to the craft to contemporary visitors.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Click (04/18/13)
- TITLE: Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones
By Margaret Kearley
lay lifeless in the heat
except for the faint echo
of one pair of pacing feet.
Desolate the valley
surveyed by one alone
who trod a dusty carpet
of bone on bone on bone.
'Can these bones live and function
again in healthy flow,
in useful living unction?'
'O Lord, You only know.'
'Go prophesy, go utter
My Word; these bones of death
in their barren isolation
will feel again my breath.'
So, by divine appointment,
the prophet prophesied
then the valley loud resounded
with a stirring; side-by-side
dry bones began a-moving,
a-joining limb to limb,
a-clicking and a-fitting
of bone, then tendon, skin,
a re-forming of each body
as to creation's plan,
skeletal bones clicked firm in place
to form once more each man.
Finger to hand, arm, shoulder,
to work, hold, build as planned,
toe, foot, leg, knee and ankle
to move, run, walk and stand.
The listening ear, the seeing eye,
the tongue and lips to speak,
the memory, the intellect,
to knowledge, wisdom, seek.
But 'spite the bustling hustle,
movement, activity,
the mighty host of soldiers
was as still as still could be.
'Can these bones live and function
again in healthy flow,
in useful living unction?'
'O Lord, You only know.'
'Go prophesy, go utter,
and from the four winds, blow,'
then the mighty breath of heaven
descended in full flow,
equipping and enabling
by power and might and grace,
each soldier armed and ready,
every living limb in place.
The Church, His Living Body,
in God-ordained diversity
is put and held by Him in place
as He would have it be.

EFI Launches New UV LED Inkjet Wide-Format Printers, the VUTEk 5r, VUTk 3r
Electronics For Imaging (EFI) is launching two new UV LED inkjet printers that is says provide the fastest throughput available in their product class, the EFI VUTEk 5r and VUTEk 3r printers, which EFI is demonstrating at the Shanghai AD & Sign Expo in March, the ISA International Sign Expo in Las Vegas in April, and at Fespa 2017 in May in Hamburg, Germany.
EFI says the new printers are "the most technically advanced LED roll-to-roll printers on the market," and are "designed to offer the highest image quality at the highest rated throughput speeds." They feature:
- LED-curing technology for both cost savings and environmental benefits.
- Resolution of up to 1,200 dpi and native EFI UItraDrop Technology seven-picoliter print heads with multi-drop addressability for smoothness in shadows, gradients, and transitions.
- A unique color-distribution algorithm that's said to provide superior economic advantages with ink usage, with a single liter of ink covering up to 1,600 square feet, on average, across all print modes.
- Fast print speeds, with the 3-meter-wide 3r model printing up to 3,715 square feet per hour, and the 5-meter 5r model printing up to 4,896 square feet per hour.
Options include: inline roll-to-sheet cutting, slitters, and a sheet-collector kit. The VUTEk 3r and 5r also offer optional features for automated double-sided back-lit and block-out printing; a mobile app for remote printer monitoring; multi-layer white-ink imaging; and additional light colors for extended-gamut imaging.
EFI says that "strong initial demand for the 3r and 5r printers has resulted in early installations to customers in North America, Europe and the Middle East who wanted to replace slower, less-efficient, roll-to-roll printers."

So today I made New Year's resolutions. I know it's trite and maybe they won't wash past the third week but…
So one of my resolutions was to do more writing. I decided that in the Year of the Lord 2016, I'll never go to bed without writing something. What was I even thinking? Did I even pause for a second to take an IQ test? Coz that's one resolution that's so dumb. Even dumber than Donald Trump.
I mean, write every f*king day? Who has time for that?
A new year's resolution is a covenant you make with your own self. It's sacred, at least for the first few weeks of the year. You kinda hope that it will last the entire year but then… whom are we kidding? No resolution ever lasted that long. A whole 365 days?
It's like marriage. You love each other and vow to be faithful and committed for the rest of your lives. For the first few years you truly are faithful and committed, but then life just happens…
Imagine breaking your resolution on January first! The shame! If you break your resolution on the first day of the year, the law says you're to commit suicide or something. Your body should then be thrown deep into the forest where it will be feasted upon by hyenas. People can't bury you, lest your evil spirit of lack of self discipline comes back to haunt them.
The clock on my laptop reads 12:30am, January 2. However, I was really particular on the wording in my resolution, which said I won't go bed without writing. So yeah, I'm still on the right track.
But seriously, do these resolution thingies ever work? There was a time I used to make resolutions and they actually came true! These were the years when I was jazzed up by that thing they called "The Secret." I just used Law of Attraction and attracted the good stuff all year round!
But then I grew a pair and I guess I stopped believing in the magic of The Secret. That's when I pushed resolutions to the back burner and survived on autopilot.
But looking at how 2015 turned out, autopilot really sucks. I'd rather write down a few goals and fail to achieve them than just whizz through life aimlessly.
And here I am, just after doing 100 push-ups and as many sit-ups, trying to fulfill New Year's resolutions. So I sit down and write the most crappy article I've ever done just so as to tell myself I'm in the right track as far as my dreams for 2016 are concerned.
And as per those resolutions, I need to hit at least 500 words. I'm at 460, so the next 40 words are all going to be just gibberish just so I can fulfill the sacrosanct covenant I made to myself. Will I be doing this every day? Who I'm I fooling?
Hurray, my 500 words are up! I've reached my target for the day. See you tomorrow and every other day for the next 365 days. Have a fruitful 2016!

Mobile App Rearchitecture
Scope: Redesign of Mobile App
DetailsIn an effort to reduce calls to the customer support line, Bluebonnet hired Apadtdev to update their mobile app. The goal was to enable the application to relay more information in a simpler manner. In doing so, customers wouldn't feel the need to call in for basic information, thus clearing the lines for more complicated issues. In the new app, Bluebonnet wanted customers to have the ability to report outages while checking on previous outages as well, allow users to compare their usage to times with similar external temperature and previous months, and make it possible for patrons of the company to manage their account settings and billing.
StrategyThe approach was to create a hybrid app that worked on all mobile devices (cell phones, tablets, etc.) By making a hybrid app, the cost of production would be lower than having separate apps made for each application market. Consistent data was an important goal in this project; this would allow data on the app to be identical to that of the website.
HighlightsApaptdev was able to update the app to fit all of the requests from Bluebonnet. As a result, Bluebonnet saw a noticeable decrease in calls to their customer support center and a dramatic increase in mobile traffic. Keeping customers from making a call saved both parties time and money.

And finally, you'll be guided through the treatment strategies for the common MSK disorders utilizing acupuncture, joint mobilization/manipulation, corrective exercises and various soft tissue approaches along with blueprints to utilize in practice.
The course will utilize cadaver analysis for clarity in understanding of the use of acupuncture and the theories presented.
The course is very hands on and limited to 8 people to allow for as much 1 on 1 interaction with me as possible.
The course runs Friday 6-9pm and Saturday & Sunday from 9-5pm.
** Cancellations 14 days or earlier of the course date registered for, NO refund will be provided. However, withdrawal from a course you have registered for greater than 14 days of the course start date a refund will be given minus $100 processing fee.
"I feel like I just learned how to assess and treat physical medicine complaints. The course was thorough, well guided and easy to apply"
"Dr Z is passionate about what he does, and is very well researched. His passion and knowledge is noticeable and I found myself wanting to make notes of everything he was saying to make sure I retain all the clinical pearls"
"The assessment strategies are so easy to follow. I finally feel confident to treat phys med complaints, this should be taught in CCNM"
"This course was exactly what I needed to enhance my skills as a manual practitioner. I feel more confident not only treating, but in knowing WHY I'm treating the way that I am"
"The course overall was incredibly organized and practical. It introduces a modern approach to MSK issues that are effective and thorough. The holistic approach really resonated with me as a Naturopath and taught us to focus on the patient as an individual, not labelling injury or using a cookie cutter protocol to treatments"

I just LOVE these card by Alison Hardcastle. So simple but so brilliantly executed, they do exactly what it says on the tin. Check out her shop here:
I know I seem a bit obsessed with teacups at the moment but I came across these beautiful ceramics by local artist Julie Spurgeon at the weekend. Exhibiting in Annabel Dees pop up shop as part of the Leigh Art Trail, these beautiful tea sets had me captivated. I was lucky enough to chat to Julie and she told me all about the inspiration behind them – fond childhood memories of the tea making ritual, the pleats and folds in the porcelain reminiscent of things like cupcake cases.
The above pieces are from her Material Pleasures collection which are currently featured in the exhibition Teapots to Tapestries, and available to buy at Fortnum and Mason.

I saw these AMAZING ceramics by Nadia Pignatone at Maison & Objet yesterday. There is always so much to take in at this show as it's so vast but I came away very sure that these were my favourite items. The blossoms
collection is made from hand thrown porcelain and laser-cut kimono fabric. See my favourites below – I need to own one!!!
I just wanted to post about Ken Eardley and his amazing ceramics. Every year I go to the Cockpit Arts Open Studios and every year I have to buy a piece of his. Ken is always near his stand and I'm sure he must laugh at how long it takes me to decide which piece to purchase…I'm sure this year was a record!
How excited am I?! I just received samples of my card range due out this month, published by The Art Group…they look great! The foiling on them looks really good but unfortunately it hasn't come out very well in the picture – I'll get a better photo soon…maybe one which isn't taken on my embarrassingly messy desk at work…

Well, what an interesting early 2013 real estate market it's been so far! Home prices are on the rise in most areas and there aren't enough homes to go around (classic supply and demand concept), AND mortgage interest rates are STILL at near all-time lows!
What does all of this mean? Well, home sellers who've been on the fence about putting their home on the market might should consider making the leap soon (since supply is low and sales prices are on the rise). Home buyers should consider buying now BEFORE the Spring season kicks-in and while mortgage interest rates are still so low.
In several cases, I'm having trouble finding available homes for my buyer clients right now. Do you know anyone who's considering selling? I need to talk with them, please. 🙂
Have an awesome day out there!
P.S. Today's graphic was provided by Bob Paulus of PrimeLending – he gives excellent service to my clients every single day! Thanks for all of your help, Bob!

My fascination with the controller for N64 started about 2 years ago after I purchased my first Nintendo 64 system.

|The teams shake hands before and after the match.
In addition to athletic conditioning and team practices, team members received instruction on how to behave on and off the field as brothers. They visit schools and youth clubs to spread messages of good sportsmanship and national unity. There are no fights on the field, no cursing at the referees, no scandals. And this example has set the tone for the fans.
|The fans enjoying a pleasant afternoon in Kabul.
The league has taken the country by storm. I was lucky enough to attend a match one afternoon - in the VVIP box! (Even though the Department doesn't think I'm worthy, it's nice to know someone does. I have the ticket stub to prove it!) I'm thrilled to be a part of this project. In no way can I take credit for its success, but I can do everything I can to make sure the embassy continues to support it.

Shola Ameobi has put pressure on Bobby Robson to leave his talisman and skipper Alan Shearer on the bench when Newcastle United go in against Middlesbrough in tomorrow's derby.
Indeed the United boss would only say today that it was nothing more than "possible" that Shearer will start at The Riverside.
Both Robson and Shearer know that the 31-year-old striker needs more time before he gets his first 90 minutes under his belt after his six month lay-off.
But what has rather complicated things for Robson is that Craig Bellamy has come back from his travels with Wales "absolutely shattered."
Bellamy, along with Aaron Hughes and Nicos Dabizas, was back at the training ground yesterday - a day ahead of the South American trio of Nobby Solano, Clarence Acuna and Diego Gavilan.
And the little striker will insist that he is okay both physically and mentally to face Middlesbrough.
But the final decision rests with Robson - and I have a feeling that he will go for Ameobi and Bellamy, with Shearer again coming off the bench - probably earlier than he did against Sunderland..
The United boss said today: "It's possible that Alan Shearer will start tomorrow, but to be fair Ameobi and Bellamy have done a good job for us."
"Shola has come back angry that he did not get a chance after being away with the England Under-21 squad and he has been flying in training all week.
"In contrast Bellamy is back and, to tell the truth after playing two matches for Wales and all the travelling, he looks shattered."
Shearer, of course, scored in United's 3-1 win at Middlesbrough last season and he is still the man Boro fear.
Robson is aware of this but says: "Really Alan needs a full month of playing before he gets his rhythm and tempo back and before he is able to play 90 minutes.
"His knee is fine, but don't forget he has not played for six months and it is going to take a month before he is again the Shearer we know."
After a fortnight's lay-off United face a busy period with six more games this month including Wednesday's Worthington Cup tie with Brentford and the rearranged match with Leicester on September 26, both at St James's Park.

The Bridge is a new series coming to CTV that looks at the inner working of the police force.

I had the opportunity to be on set during the filming of the final episode of the first season, capturing Aaron Douglas (as Frank Leo) and Michael Murphy (as Ed Wycoff) in action. I'll be watching the series and I'm looking forward to watching the two scenes in the last epside in which I'm standing off-camera. If you're into photography, you may be interested to know that the lead photo was taken with my iPhone, but the rest were taken using a Canon 40D.

Taman NegaraPreviously named King George V National Park, this huge swath of untouched tropical rainforest was renamed Taman Negara, Malay for "National Park", after Malaysia gained its independence.
Taman Negara covers over 4000 square kilometers of verdant jungle and, at more than 130 million years old, Taman Negara is regarded as the world's oldest tropical rainforest and truly is a destination you do not want to miss whilst in Malaysia.
Taman Negara straddles 3 separate states: Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu, where Pahang has the largest park area and Terengganu the smallest. The 3 state parks are called Taman Negara Pahang, Taman Negara Kelantan and Taman Negara Terengganu, respectively.
Taman Negara plays a major role as an ecotourism hotspot in Malaysia and offers several world-class attractions that are interesting for their biological and geological significance. Examples are: Gunung Tahan, Peninsular Malaysia's highest point, the Gua Telinga cave network and the Lata Berkoh rapids. And if you're planning a visit to Taman Negara, be sure not to miss the unbelievable Canopy Walkway either, a unique and most memorable experience.
Taman Negara is home to some of the world's rarest mammal species, the Sumatran Rhinoceros. Other animals you may well catch a glimpse off in Taman Negara are black leopard, tapir, the Asian elephant, gibbon, deer, bison and even the rare Malayan Tiger.
In Taman Negara you'll experience the timelessness of this deepest, densest and most mysterious of all the jungles in Malaysia. Come face to face with Taman Negara's original tribes, the Orang Asli, in their most remote settlement. These "Original People" have inhabited Taman Negara's primary jungles since ancient times. You'll be blown away by their awesome nature skills and their basic yet sustainable way of life.
To get from Singapore to Taman Negara, we recommend you take the bus to Kuantan in the state of Pahang. Once you've reached Kuantan, you can get on the bus to Jerantut, which departs at 9 am and costs about RM 12-15. You can then take a mini-bus to Kuala Tembeling jetty. Next is a leisurely 3-hour boat ride up the Tembeling River to Kuala Tahan in Taman Negara... Sure, it's a long journey, but Taman Negara will be more than worth it.
NOTE: Peak season is March until August!
You can book any bus journey in Malaysia and Singapore. No booking fee.

Ask Yourself
Ask yourself: What do your hands & feet know...
Ask yourself: "What do my hands & feet know..."?
Also, does this make sense at all? It does to me, but it's like a mojo Rx note to my own mind.

How to Not Pass on Stress to Your Kids
Posted on May 6, 2014 in Worry Wise
Recently I had the pleasure of talking with my dear friend, Dr. Dan Gottlieb on his NPR radio show, Voices in the Family. His guests, Drs. Sara Waters and Wendy Mendes from University of San Francisco were reporting on their study of the transmission of stress from mother to infant. It was a great conversation, and you can listen to the program here. The take away message was very positive-- that parents can do so much to manage their stress and importantly "repair" their connection with their child if stress gets in the way-- through apologies, loving gestures-- and just spending time together. In otherwords, we don't have to pass on our stress, we can clean it up as we go. Here's a piece I wrote to share these ideas.

The big business news of the day seems to be CVS Caremark's announced planned ban on tobacco products.
A pack of cigarettes can be quite expensive.
However, it turns out that tobacco represents a relatively small expenditure for the American consumer.
CVS management expects to lose just around $2 billion of its over $120 billion in annual sales.
The chart below comes to us from Goldman Sachs. It shows what percent of disposable income consumers spend on alcohol and tobacco around the world.
In the U.S., it's less than 2%. And as most of us know, CVS and other large pharmacies sell a lot more than just drugs, beer, and tobacco.

What's Hot Today
"Saturday Night Live" may have lost some of its biggest stars, but it hasn't lost viewers. At least not so far. Even without the likes of departed stars Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen and Bill Hader, "SNL" is having a very solid start to its 39 th season. Not many people saw that coming. While the final 18-49 demographic numbers for the show's second week will not be available until Thursday, the Miley Cyrus-fronted episode is up in the local people meters by 23 percent versus the same night last year (2.7 vs. 2.2). That very preliminary rating matched the season premiere's from the week prior.

Trade deficit decreases
WASHINGTON — Americans' demand for foreign-made TVs, toys and clothes waned in April, helping to narrow the U.S. trade deficit. Exports fell for the second month in a row.
The country's trade imbalance shrank to $32.2 billion, a 2.7 percent decrease from March's $33.1 billion deficit, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.
Imports, hurt by sagging demand because of the weak U.S. economy, fell more than exports did in April, narrowing the trade gap.
The two-month drop in exports reflected the impact of sluggish demand overseas.
"This is really a sign of weakness all around," said Paul Kasriel, chief economist at the Northern Trust Co.
On Wall Street, growing anticipation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for a sixth time this year to revive the U.S. economy helped lift stocks higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 68.10 at 10,715.43.
In April, imports of goods and services declined by 2.2 percent to $119.1 billion, while exports dipped by 2 percent to $86.9 billion.
"We have a lackluster American consumer and slowing growth abroad," said economist Clifford Waldman of Waldman Associates.
Through the first four months of this year, the deficit swelled to $127.2 billion, compared with $116.8 billion during the same period last year.
For all of last year, the deficit mushroomed to a record $375.7 billion, according to annual revisions also released Thursday. The government had previously reported a trade shortfall of $368.9 billion for all of 2000.
America's continuing trade deficits represent a political challenge for President Bush as he tries to overcome congressional resistance to give him unfettered authority to negotiate new regional and international trade pacts.
Bush administration officials pressed their case for that on Capitol Hill on Thursday, a day after Bush criticized opponents who want to add labor and environmental conditions to his "fast track" trade authority.
Fast-track authority would allow Bush to strike a new free-trade agreement with all the democratic nations in the Western Hemisphere, as well as open a new round of World Trade Organization talks on lowering trade barriers.
The Bush administration argues that American companies have no choice but to compete in the global economy, but critics contend that lower trade barriers subject American workers to unfair competition from low-wage countries with lax environmental standards.
The monthly trade report also showed that the United States' politically sensitive deficit with China jumped by 9.7 percent in April to $6.3 billion. The U.S.' deficit with Japan widened by 3.1 percent to $6.4 billion, as U.S. exports to the country hit their lowest point in a year.
Exports of U.S.-made capital goods, such as airplanes and semiconductors, fell to $27.9 billion in April, the lowest level since March 2000, adding to the woes of domestic manufacturers, who have been hardest hit by the domestic economic slowdown.
At the same time, imports of capital goods declined to $26 billion, the lowest level since November 1999, as U.S. businesses, struggling with the slowdown, cut back on their purchases, economists said.
In a bright spot for U.S. companies, sales of U.S.-made consumer goods, such as artwork, books and furniture, to other countries rose to a record $7.9 billion in April.
A broader measure of cross-border activity, the "current account," narrowed in the first three months of this year to $109.6 billion from an imbalance of $116.3 billion in the fourth quarter.
The current account includes not only goods and services but also investment flows between countries and unilateral transfers, including U.S. foreign aid payments.
In a third report, the Labor Department said the number of Americans filing new claims for state unemployment insurance fell sharply by 34,000 to 400,000 last week. Even with the unexpected drop, claims are still at a level suggesting that the weak U.S. economy has sapped demand for workers.

How The Tail Got Twisted
Jack Denny once described the purpose of the curly stays in a magazine interview. The idea was born in the 1930s when road races took place over bad roads, often over cobblestones. The raked fork in front absorbed some of the road shocks, but conventional straight rear triangles transmitted all the road shocks to the frame causing the whole bike to rattle and shake. This rattling and shaking is wasted motion and translates into lower speeds and lost time. Denny believed that a sort of a fork in back would absorb some more of the shock, resulting in less rattling and shaking and, in theory at least, less lost motion. The idea was not to provide a bouncy suspension, as on modern mountain bikes, but rather to let the dropouts vibrate--hence, the official designation, vibrant stays. The claim of the curly stays is untested, but it has been proven that suspended mountain bikes are faster over some kinds of terrain than conventional bikes, so there may be merit to Denny's idea. The curly stays do not offer any functional advantage to the cycling tourist, Denny said in the interview; nor, presumably, to the track cyclist. Nonetheless, many track frames were fitted with the elegant stays, and this brings us to another twist in the tale.
1936 World and Olympic Champion, Toni Merkens, riding his 'no-name' Hetchins.
Hetchins frames featured some other unorthodox designs as well. For example, the hellenic and fastback stays which result in an equilateral triangle.
Hellenic stays cross the seat tube and anchor under the top tube. The name comes from Fred Hellens, who developed the design in 1923.
Hellenics often featured a pulley to guide the brake cable under the top tube, to be used with center pull brakes.
The first one was a VM design, sold in July 1967 (production started in 1966), others were produced with other lug sets (incl. Mag. Opus and Italia); the last was produced in 1979 or '80 (plus two recent ones built in 1987 and 1995). The design was not popular and only about 75 were made. They are rare and highly sought by collectors.
Below is a reprint of an article from 1967.
The fastback design anchors on the seat tube below the seat lug.
The shot-in design anchors the stays higher up than the fastback, part of the seat lug but neither wrapping over the seat lug nor attached to the binder bolt.
The italianate design, pictured at the right, integrates the stays with the seat binder, giving a very neat appearance. This feature, and scalloped seat lugs, were popular in the 1970s and available on most any frame, not only on the Italia model.
Last but not least dept.
Above: ladies triple curly;
Above: Experto Crede with a double curl. The reason for the extra curl is not certain, but the long wheelbase suggests that it may have been a one-off suited to this particular geometry.
PS There were also conventional Hetchins stays.

Getting Off by Lawrence Block
In 1958, well-known crime writer and Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America (1993), Larence Block released his first novel. Though at this point, he was writing lesbian pulp novels under the pseudonym, Lesley Evans. Numerous pen names followed including Sheldon Lord, Andrew Shaw and Jill Emerson.
Over 50 years later, he's chosen to return to his roots and resurrect the name Jill Emerson. Teaming up with Hard Case Crime and Titan books, his comeback novel is bluntly titled, Getting Off. And with a tagline of 'a novel of sex and violence,' it pretends to be nothing apart from the crime pulp it is.
Getting Off is based around a young lady called Katherine, although hardly anyone knows her by this name as she jumps from city to city and name to name as quickly as she jumps from one bed to another. After being groomed and sexually abused by her father at an early age, her outlook on sex is unsurprisingly jaded. After she beds a man, she kills him, robs him and then moves onto the next one in a mental cleansing routine. Problem is, for one reason or another, there were five men who escaped with their lives and this she needs to change. The novel follows her as she hunts, beds and kills the men on her list. But what happens if she can't wipe the slate clean and can she really stop the killing if she does?
This book is everything you would probably expect by simply looking at the cover. Sex, drugs, murder, lust, lesbians and even a drop of necrophilia as the icing on the cake. The writing is enjoyable and the pacing is well structured to keep you engrossed. Saying that, the main story does seem to end ¾ of the way in, then the last quarter is just pure lesbian sex. But that's point, right! If you're a fan of literary prize winners and indepth other world fantasy, this will not be for you but that's not surprising as it's not aimed at that kind of person. There is a huge market for these vintage, 50's style pulp novels and Block does tick all the boxes that I imagine anyone would want from this style of book. It's fast, it's fun, it's pulp!
Interview with Lawrence Block
Along with being able to review this title, Lawrence Block was also kind enough to take a moment out of his busy schedule to answer a few quick questions for us.
What inspired you to bring back your old pseudonym Jill Emerson after all this time?
Lawrence Block: I felt that an open pen name, "Lawrence Block writing as Jill Emerson," would help to indicate that Getting Off is categorically different than most of what I've been writing in recent years.
Have any of your previous female characters or characters in any other fiction you have enjoyed, influenced your female lead in Getting Off?
Influenced? I wouldn't think so. But Kit Tolliver might feel a kinship with Susan Pomerance of Small Town.
Were you ever tempted to tone down the sexual nature of the book to become more mainstream?
No, I knew I liked it just the way it was. And I was encouraged throughout by my editor, Charles Ardai of Hard Case Crime, who didn't seem in any way deterred by the book's sexual intensity.
Are you going to be continuing to write as Jill Emerson and if so, where are you going from here?
I really don't know. But the keen reception Getting Off's had is gratifying, as are the strong eBook sales of Jill's seven-volume backlist.
After becoming such a well known and prolific writer, are you still influenced by or admire any other specific writers?
Too many to name!
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers trying to get into a similar field of work?
Well, I've written half a dozen instructional books for writers, so I evidently do. But I think the most important piece of advice I can offer is this: Write to please yourself.

Born: 16th December 1945
Joined The Hollies: 1963
Guitar, Banjo, Vocals, Mandolin, Electric Sitar
Tony appeared on TVs X Factor of the day - 'Carroll Levis's Discoveries'. He was in a seven-piece band called 'Les Skifflettes'. In the mid 1950s, singer-guitarist Lonnie Donegan, with his mix of American folk and blues, inspired teenagers to create their own simple form of music, and the British phenomenon of Skiffle was born.
Tony's mother, Peggy, was quoted as saying: "When he wanted something, he didn't just hint hopefully. He went out and got it, some way or other. There has never been anything he wanted that he didn't get on his own initiative."
"He was so determined when he was a child that he cycled eighty miles one day with the cycling club, just to prove that he could do it. He was only ten.
"When he was eleven his auntie bought him a guitar for Christmas. He never had time for girls after that. He was too wrapped up in the guitar."
Scotty Moore's work on the early Presley recordings left their mark on young Hick's fast developing technique.
After seeing Buddy Holly and The Crickets, on ITV's 'Sunday Night at The London Palladium', Tony realised that it just might be possible for a working class boy to attain his dream.
The Dolphins were Tony's next step along the path to Hollieland. Bernie Calvert and Bobby Elliott completed the three-man outfit. The band performed in dance halls and clubs throughout the North of England.
Alan Cheatham, The Hollies manager, had the foresight to recognise Tony's potential and invited him to become a Hollie. After weeks of persuasion The Dolphins were no more and The Hollies had become a force to be reckoned with.

Winter is in full-swing, literally as I'm writing this post there is a snow and hail storm going on outside. All I can say is thank god for central heating controlled via an app from bed! The winter weather of course brings the darker evenings, which is why I'd like to apologies in advance about the terrible quality of the images in this post, but whats a guy to to with limited day light?
So it's coming towards the end of what some may call a rather bleak year, who'd have thought it…2017 would be worse than 2016 in so many ways. But hey'ho no point dwelling, let's look forward to the future like the fact in a mere 25 days it's CHRISTMAS! (That is, if I planned ahead enough to get this post live on the 1st).
If you follow me on Instagram and Twitter then I'm sure it comes as NO surprise to you that I'm a HUGE Christmas fan; can't get enough of the stuff. Love it. My plethora of Christmas emojis should tell you that.
Pink Paper Baubles (Rockett St George)
Sassy Flamingo (Amara Living)
Of course every year I have the same old routine of traipsing the numerous boxes of decorations down from the loft; not knowing what's, what because yet again I decided not to correctly label or separate them for a more efficient process. Sifting through it all to find what I see fit to 'dec the halls' as it were. Not going to lie, I love this process it's become somewhat of a tradition of its own. I'm also super sentimental about all things Christmas so the thought of binning anything I just don't use anymore…well let's just say; it's not a thought.
Pink Marshmallow (Amara Living)
Rainbow Confetti (Next Home)
The big statement for Christmas decorating has to come down to the tree, or multiple trees. It's just the classic form of decorating, it wouldn't be Christmas without a tree! Where would all the presents go?…on the topic of presents I am fairly impressed with myself this year, I've actually managed to get 90% of my christmas shopping done before December. Not bad for someone who lives their life as a pure procrastination.
Growing-up my mum would always let me and my brothers 'help' decorate the tree with us all fighting over who put the Angel on the top (named Rebecca I'll have you know), I actually don't remember how we'd settle such and argument…I'd probably win. These days it's a more strict regiment of style, after all we are living in the Instagram-age where everything and their mothers cat needs to be shared on social media.
A big part of Christmas revolves around traditions (that bauble I made back in first school, that could be mistaken for something out of the bin is of course making an appearance) but it's always good to freshen up with a NEW theme when it comes to decorating…Oh I do love a theme. Whether it be: colour, animal or a novelty aspect! You can generally get a feel of the retailers predicted theme by popping into your local department store, a past-time I love. Something that's definitely BIG this year is cactuses, flamingos and Lamas…everyone loves a Lama!
Glass Rainbow (Rockett St George)
Love Letter Box (Debenhams)
Pink Donut (Amara Living)
Decorating the tree can be quite a personal task. You're creating a statement of what you envision your Christmas to be. Well, this year I decided I wanted to do something a little bit more 'fun' and 'colourful'. Hello "Colourful Kitch-mas Christmas"…I'm not sure what statement people may think I'm making, but its a sassy one that's for sure. A white tinsel tree adorned with colourful rainbows, pink hues, flamingos maybe even a donut! Stylishly representing my fun & unique take on Christmas this year. All who have the pleasure or walking into my hallway will be met with this glorious spectacle. It's important not to take things to seriously guys!
Blue Pineapple (Amara Living)
Hot Pink Bauble (Violet and Thistle)
Retro Pink (Violet and Thistle)
Some may call it garish and hideous, yes. And that's okay because I absolutely LOVE it. Tell me you can't look at this tree and NOT smile. Much like my interior style, I like to be different and 'out-there' almost repulsive to the norm, I mean who wants to be normal?..snooze.
Well that's tree No.1 done, what shall I do for No.2 hmm…
Merry December,
Paper Star (Debenhams)
