The boring, monochromatic colors of the corporate office don't need to make an appearance your home. Redecorating is one way to make the time you spend working in your home office or studio a more enjoyable experience. Start by turning that gray or beige metal file cabinet into something fun and funky. Cover those drab cabinets with fabric -- it's a fun and easy way to change the style and personality of your workspace without all of the mess of paint.
Measure the surface of the cabinet you want to cover and write the numbers down, leaving an extra inch for folding over the edges. Multiply to figure the amount of fabric you'll need. Covering the entire file cabinet isn't necessary if not all of it can be seen, but you might want to if you think you may move the cabinet in the future. Use one long piece of fabric to cover the sides and top for easier application and cleaner lines.
Measure your fabric and mark the backside with a fabric pencil, using a straightedge.
Cut the fabric as straight as you can. Straight cuts provide cleaner finished products.
Remove the drawers and unscrew the handles and anything else that obstructs the cabinet's surface. Clean the file cabinet with a damp paper towel or lint-free rag to rid the exterior of any dust and debris.
Spray the cabinet with spray adhesive, following the instructions on the can, and smooth the fabric onto the surface with a thin, rigid tool such as a putty knife or credit card to work out bubbles and wrinkles. Turn any raw edges under. Wear a mask during the application process to keep from inhaling the fumes from the adhesive.
Set the adhesive by allowing it to dry for 12 hours, or as directed on the can, before putting the handles and drawers back in.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #150116 +++
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041217 Galeon/1.3.19
Description of problem:
This may be a duplicate of 134399. That bug was unclear about whether
the dir was being removed before or after it was unmounted.
On a network of machines I have /home/<dirs> being automounted with
the following yp auto.master and auto.home maps (respectively):
# ypcat -k auto.master
/home yp:auto.home
/misc yp:auto.misc
# ypcat -k auto.home
* -rw,soft,intr srv0:/export/home/&
Boy was I surprised to find my home directory (/home/brian) completely
empty at some point yesterday and get emptied of any new files I put
in it every 60 seconds.
Through a thorough investigation I came to discover that it was
automount on a number (but far from all) of the hosts that was
emptying my home directory.
From looking at the code it was obvious that umount_multi() that was
doing this "cleaning out" in this block of code:
if (left == 0) {
if ((!ap.ghost) ||
(ap.state == ST_SHUTDOWN_PENDING ||
ap.state == ST_SHUTDOWN))
rm_unwanted(path, incl, 1);
else if (ap.ghost && (ap.type == LKP_INDIRECT))
rm_unwanted(path, 0, 1);
"left" is given a value just prior to that block of code depending on
whether the filesystem being mounted was found in the /etc/mtab file
and if it was successful in unmounting the shared filesystem if it was
found in the /etc/mtab file.
When i looked at the mount table on one of the hosts doing the
cleaning it was clear that /home/brian was indeed still mounted from
the server. So either the block of code that was enumerating the the
/etc/mtab file or the block of code trying to do the unmount has a
defect in it that made automount believe that the filesystem was
either not mounted or was successfully unmounted.
This indeed is a very evil chunk of code if it goes wrong!
I have currently built and installed the -99 release of the autofs
package from rawhide along with a safety plug that does not actually
remove any found files in the tree.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Dudley MP Ian Austin has stepped up his campaign to protect Dudley Police Station calling for a guarantee that it will not be closed completely.
Austin has already spoken out against the closure in Parliament and launched a petition which has been signed by more than a thousand people in less than a week.
He has now written to West Midlands Police Chief Constable Chris Sims asking him to guarantee the Dudley Police Station will not face complete closure in the future.
Under plans announced last week Dudley Police Station is one of twenty seven stations across the West Midlands that will be closed to the public, leaving Dudley as the largest town in the country without a police station open to the public.
Local people wishing to add their name to the petition can do so at www.ianaustin.co.uk.
Ian Austin said:
"It is completely unacceptable that Dudley could become the largest town in the country without a police station open to the public.
"Two years ago I warned cuts to the Dudley station's opening hours would be the start of a slippery slope, so I want guarantees that these latest cuts won't lead to the station's complete closure.
"It's clear that local people share my outrage with over a thousand signing our petition in just a matter of days. Anyone who wants to sign the petition can do so by visiting my website, by emailing me at email@example.com or by calling my office on 01384 342 504 and we'll send out a form."

GQ Baton. It's the typeface used on the cover. It has a few different weights for our utmost pleasure! Baton is a sans serif typeface, slightly condensed with a very modern edge. It's the perfect partner for the GQ logo and works really well on the cover. It comes in 10 styles with a lot of great glyphs. The typeface was created and art directed by Yorgo Tloupas (currently AD "at large" for Vanity Fair France) and Paul Chemetoff (AD at GQ Paris). It was designed by Fat Type's Yassin Baggar and Anton Koovit. The typeface was originally commissioned for the redesign of the magazine in 2010, they had exclusive rights on it for a while but get your wallets out because you can buy it here, score. The complete family goes for 350€, it's not cheap but not over the top for a typeface of this caliber. Get your credit cards out!
Now let's look inside and see what goodies we can find there. I'll start with GQ Slab. It's used in different sections of the magazine like the cover story (see below) for the title. It's a very nice spin off the GQ Baton, sturdy and working very well with the other typefaces on the page. It has a strong visual presence without being too overwhelming so kuddos for that! you can find it on the Fat Type website, though it has limited licensing.
The body copy is called Adelle. This font was designed by Type Together and has 14 styles, ranging from light to heavy, with more than 1100 characters per font. It's an editorial font but not my favorite to be honest. It works in the magazine but I find it too bulky despite its light weights. I don't find it particularly pleasing when reading but I have to admit the combination with everything else works nicely. you can purchase it here starting at $30.
The last one is the GQ Serif. It's quite a nice font to end this with! it's used in various sections of the magazine like in the "manuel du style" section and brings a bit of fresh air to the mix. It's quite light on its serifs and brings just enough of a change from the baton without fighting it. Like the GQ Slab and Baton, you can find it on the Fat Type website.

Environment Gerlos
Gerlos Village
The beautiful, friendly mountain village of Gerlos lies on the border between the provinces of Tirol and Salzburgerland. The delightful Austrian village is especially popular with the Dutch.
With its main street full of different types of accommodation, its many cafés and bars and its friendly restaurants, Gerlos also offers excellent après-ski facilities. Since Gerlos is part of the huge Zillertal Arena, the skiing opportunities are literally endless.
Don't forget your snow chains, however: it is not exactly next to the motorway!
Area & Ski Runs
Ever since Gerlos was linked to the Zillertal Arena, the number and the length of the ski runs has increased significantly. The area, which is situated high in the mountains, has guaranteed snow.
The Isskogel lift takes the beginners to a choice of wide, blue slopes. More advanced skiers can have a whale of a time on one of the many red and black slopes, go on longer trips, or take the plunge on one of the challenging descents at nearby Könnigsleiten.
Real pioneers can avoid the ski slopes altogether and go on an adventure in the "Tiefschnee".
Snowboarding / Cross Country Skiing
For snowboarders, the Isskogel has a spectacular half pipe and a wicked snow park. And cross country skiers don't have to stay at home either in Gerlos; there are trails galore!
A large number of hiking trails meanders through the beautiful mountain scenery. The Krummbachalm (1890m), for instance, can be climbed on foot. Other routes lead to the little village of Wald or to the Lackenalm (1405m).
For the kids / families
Children can visit "Kinderland" where skiing and playing go hand in hand. The Gerlos ski schools take children from 2 years old and upwards.
There are ski instructors of different nationalities, including Dutch, German, English and Austrian. You will also find a well-lit tobogganing run, skate rink and a squash hall nearby.
The Austrians have a jovial, warm-hearted reputation. Once the sun goes down, it is time to settle in one of the many pleasant, good-quality bars Gerlos has to offer. The "Cin-cin" and "Little London" are both legendary establishments.
Bratwürst and schnitzels fly across the counters like hot cakes, and everybody joins in with the "schlagers" with gusto. Night owls can dance the night away in clubs like the "Country Club".
To cut a long story short: APRES-SKI is BIG in Gerlos!
Ski school and Ski Lessons
Gerlos has a very good ski school: Adventure Snowsportschule Gerlos Total
For more information see: www.schischule-gerlos.at or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Après-ski and Going Out
14 restaurants • 9 bars • 12 cafés • 1 disco • library
Wellness, Sport & Fitness
Massages • Parasailing • Indoor tennis • Squash
Other Winter Activities
30 km hiking trails • tobogganing: 1.5 km sledge run in the Krummbachtal, opened daily from 18:00 to 22:00 hrs

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Barclays (BARC.L) is axing up to 100 jobs at its investment bank, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, following another set of disappointing results from the division in the third quarter.
The cuts will be split evenly between Europe and the United States and be weighted more towards roles at the director and managing director level, the source added, although Reuters' sister publication IFR reported last week that Europe would bear the brunt of the reductions.
Chief Executive Jes Staley has championed the investment bank, even amid calls from some analysts and investors to ditch a business that has in recent years struggled to match the profitability of Barclays' retail and credit card units.
He said at the bank's third-quarter results in October that Barclays would push ahead with reinvesting in the business, which he wants to be able to compete with Wall Street heavyweights, and add more products and derivatives without returning to the aggressive practices of the past.
In 2016, around 1,000 jobs were cut from Barclays' investment banking business worldwide, as it strove to reduce costs and boost revenues. Barclays cut a total of 10,000 staff that year alone.
The story was first reported by Bloomberg.

The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Josey Cirrini has been isolated from the town her deceased father put on the map. She has been caring for her mother, making up for her actions as a child, and hiding away. It comes as a surprise when Della Lee Baker appears in her room and is looking to hide away, in none other than Josey's secret closet (a closet filled with treats and romance novels, secreted away from the world and especially her mother). Reluctantly she agrees and finds a something in Della which leads her to finding out more about herself and gaining some much needed self confidence, she also picks up a friend along the way.
Magic fills the pages as only Ms. Allen can write, creating characters and a storyline that might suspend your disbelief, and have you wrapped and wanting to be embraced into the pages.
There is some twists, a bit of mystery, some romance, and as always hope and magic. This is a sweet (pun and true) novel to lose yourself in, but warning -- you will be dazed afterward, looking for that buzz again.

As the peak season for income tax collections winds down, it has become clear that Oregon has enjoyed a good year. Although revenue trends are not as strong as what was seen earlier in the economic expansion, Oregon and its Western neighbors continue to lead the way in terms of revenue growth. A large majority of states are dealing with disappointing revenue growth that has failed to match their budget projections. In Oregon, revenue growth has outstripped expectations, putting our unique kicker law into play.
While revenue growth in Oregon has slowed down in recent months, our state economy is healthy and comparatively robust. Keep tabs on Oregon revenue trends here.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court is hearing the Boston Herald's appeal of a libel lawsuit it lost several years ago. Here's the crux of the matter:
Of the six justices who listened to oral arguments and questioned lawyers for both sides, only Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall , who is married to a nationally prominent journalist, seemed sympathetic to Sanford's argument that the courts should not impinge on the ability of the press to criticize public figures.
"It seems to me that what the prosecutors were complaining about, in criticizing Judge Murphy, was a bias in favor of defendants and against plaintiffs," Marshall said, adding that "this goes to the heart of what the judge should be most concerned about."
The mere presence of factual errors in a story does not prove malice on the part of the media, she said. Actual malice must be present for there to be a libel finding against a public figure.
If the state Supreme Court finds for the plaintiff, this case will surely go to federal courts. The U.S. Supreme Court set the burden of libel pretty high for public figures in Sullivan v. New York Times — I can't imagine they'd agree that the Boston Herald's reporting — however flawed — rises to the level of actual malice.
I think the issue here — just with the recent libel verdict in Illinois — is that the affronted party is a judge. Jurists seem to be the only public figures for whom the burden of libel is less than actual malice.

It's been a very exciting
year for me in the U.S. market. There have been
so many dates in a row that it got confusing with
air travel and coming and going! Some were a little
strange, such as the outdoor afternoon show at
Hershey Park in 100 degree temps. Not a bad one
in the bunch though!
Las Vegas was excellent because
the Orleans Casino is a super place to do a show.
The theater is laid out the way I like to work,
with a good size stage and visually great. The
Bushnell in Hartford is another lovely theater
which lends itself to a good show. Turning Stone
has a stage you could play football on and I
love the freedom of being to wander around during
a show. This was the best week I have ever had
at the Mohegan Sun Cabaret theater. Everything
went right for all five shows and it turned out
to be a real fun week.
Coming up is the Half Hollow
Performing Arts show in Long Island New York,
and the Kravis Center for Performing Arts in
West Palm Beach Florida. Then it's off
to the islands for two weeks before Christmas
takes over. We start off next year at the Soaring
Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant Michigan. Then off
to the UK for 23 concerts in Scotland, Wales,
and England. That tour is already doing well
and it's a long ways off!
See you all soon somewhere
In a recent interview
with Dave McGrath for the July
Fan Club newsletter, Chris Collingwood,
lead singer/guitarist/songwriter for the popular
band Fountains of Wayne, revealed something
very interesting! Being a H-U-G-E Gene
Pitney fan, Collingwood said he would be thrilled
if Gene "would ever consider being
a guest vocalist on a track on the band's next
Fountains of Wayne scored a massive
international hit last year with "Stacy's
Mom." The three-piece band from New
York recently released a CD titled "Out
of State Plates," which includes a
cover version of Gene's "Today's Teardrops" (as
well as the Bacharach-David classic "Trains
and Boats and Planes").
Collingwood actually lives in Massachusetts---not far from where Gene lives
in Connecticut. Collingwood hopes to meet Gene at Gene's June
11th concert in Hartford. Comment
in the forum!
"I thought it was
about time to have a place to chat to each
other," writes Gene, "I have a feeling
the Artist Direct board is gone forever... I
missed the interaction while on the last two
tours." Read
and reply to Gene's welcome message!
"G'day, I
am in of the Australian tour and it's been
super! In Melbourne now for a ten day
run ending at the Crown Casino for two nights. We
have been to Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, and
Perth so far. Today is the first cool
day I have felt since being here and the first
cloudy days as well. Autumn is on the
way..." Read

The 2004 UK tour was the best I remember! Even the weather wasn't too bad this time around. Not much sunshine but pretty mild so I'll take it with all the traveling involved. I want to say thanks to all the people that gave us a virtually sold out tour and especially to those who made it to so many concerts out of the 23! The final two shows in Dublin were really exciting with such a great atmosphere in the theatre.
I had a five day window on the return from the UK tour to unpack and repack for the annual family trip to the islands. The sun always shines in Provo so it was great to lay back on the beach and let the day go by. I was well prepared to drive the van on the island seeing as I just did about 2500 miles on that side of the road!! I had lobster again for Thanksgiving dinner!
Please stay tuned for
some great shows in 2005 in the U.S.. I
just got home so I haven't had time to
really get into it yet but the dates mentioned
sound super and I will let you know as soon
as they are set in stone. The only one
at the moment that is confirmed is the Bushnell
Theater in Hartford Ct. on June 11th. It's
a beautiful theater that has recently been
redone. I played there last with one
of the package tours in the 60s!
The tour in Australia
has now been confirmed and the dates are up
on my website and also on Pollstar. The
shows are in every part of the country and
once again my frequent flyer account will be
overflowing! Not sure if I will go through
Hawaii this time or take the long 15 hour flight
out of Los Angeles. I did it once before
and was a basket case when I got off the plane
so I will have to think about it. I look forward
to seeing you all somewhere in 2005!
Gene will once again be touring
the UK in 2004. The venues are now being booked
and the tour should be announced very soon. Gene
is hoping the weather stays in the autumnal mode
until the tour finishes with two shows in Dublin.

The Bronze masters from the 70s
with songs such as Blue Angel, Trans Canada Highway,
Oceans Away, Hold On, Train of Thought, among
others, are now out on Sanctuary Records in the
UK. The masters are in a two CD set. One CD is
all Bronze masters and the other is from the
Pitfield Sessions from the early 90s. This contains
many covers such as Killing Me Softly, She's
a Rebel, It's a Heartache, You're the Reason,
and more. The Bronze tracks have been sitting
in a temperature controlled vault in London for
over 25 years. All the tracks were digitally
remastered at Pitfield Studios. The recordings
highlight some great songwriters such as Elton
John, Roger Cook, Albert Hammond, Paul Williams,
Chris De Burgh, and Cynthia Weil.

Update: Gene finished recording a new song
with Rodney Vincent. Rodney is the one that
Gene wrote a song with in Australia and did harmony

Everyone on Wall Street is watching to see how the holiday season pans out. The important question for investors now: Will consumers buy enough to keep the stock market going? Scott Redler, chief strategic officer at T3live.com, and Mike Rubino, president of Rubino Financial, shared their outlooks.
"Right now, the market's continuing higher because the bar has been set very low and the year-over-year comparisons are very low," Redler told CNBC.

On April - 30 - 2008
WISH WILLIE A HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY! (part 2) **
Today's True Outlaw Stories come from Willie's longtime drummer Paul English.

Producer: Joyride Media
** Legend has it Willie's actual physical birthday is 4/29/33, even though his birth certificate and drivers license says 4/30/33. That gives us two days to celebrate one of our country's great music legends.

A Day in the Life
A fence judges view... from Steph Freeman and Mike Bain, a 'behind the scenes' look at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials.
About 120 volunteers, many having travelled long distances, turned up at a marquee at the centre of the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials at 8am today ready for another great day's sport.
Immediately on arrival, Jennie Smith, the Fence Judge Coordinator, welcomed everybody and made sure they had a cup of hot coffee and a Danish pastry. Also there to welcome us was Event Director Mandy Hervieu who thanked everybody for giving up their time so willingly.
The fence judges' briefing, (a requirement at every event), was hosted by Chris Farr, cross-country controller and assistant technical delegate, Dave Thompson.
Although these briefing sessions can often be very amusing, with some good anecdotes thrown in, they carry a very serious message. The safety of the horses, competitors, officials and spectators, as well a good competition, are all paramount and this message is always driven home.
With Dave's and Chris's words of wisdom still ringing in our ears we set off to man the 29 cross-country fences. Each fence had a team of very experienced fence judges in place. Many of these unpaid volunteers have been to Olympic Games, World Games, European Championships, Asian Games, etc., all over the world as well as hundreds of events all over the U.K. Once at our fences the day's work began. Stopwatches, flags, scorebooks and whistles at the ready the day ran smoothly.
Spectators relax and enjoy the day's competition.
At our fence, the Petplan Puddle, we met our fellow fence judges Lesley Clay and Roni Swords. Sitting at a fence for anything up to nine hours can be quite stressful, but having the support from other judges always makes the day a worthwhile experience. The fact that loos and a baked potato stand were nearby helped a bit too!
Fortunately for us our day passed almost without any major incidents. Every rider who jumped the Petplan Puddle cleared it, using the direct route, without a problem. The same could not be said for the hundreds of spectators who had to run for cover when a nest of very angry wasps was discovered on the hillside overlooking the fence!
Regular visits from the picnic run team bearing gifts of tea, coffee, soft drinks and cake helped make the day pass really quickly. Our four-legged friends were not left out either. Waterbowls supplied by Chudley's were kept topped up for their refreshment too!
Time for some 'celeb' spotting? Zara Phillips and Dan Jocelyn walking the course.
After the last horse had successfully completed the cross-country course we all made our way back to the marquee where yet more tea and cake awaited our return. This however was not the end of the day's entertainment. With thoughts of either retail therapy or watching some show jumping very much in mind, the 120 tired fence judges made their way to the shopping village!
Hundreds of hungry mouths to feed in the marquee at the competitors, grooms and officials barbecue.
Hospitality was still on hand as we had all been invited to a barbecue near the stables. Not quite sure where the stables were situated we asked Hannah Bate for directions. She was very pleased to show us in return for a lift there. The deal was done. We had not, however, realised that Hannah was accompanied by her owners, groom and at least half a dozen ice cream eating friends! I'm not quite sure how many piled into the car but we set off in pursuit of burgers and chicken legs. The excellent barbecue had the added bonus of a really good local band The Red Bullets.
Entertainment from The Red Bullets.
Altogether a really good day for all concerned. The best bit, however, is that we get to do it all again tomorrow………!

Chances are that you'll be looking at a phone for this holiday season, the hottest phones out there in the Android market is the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the recently discontinued Google Galaxy Nexus also by Samsung. The Nexus has just been discontinued in the Google Play store but the deals abound this holiday season in the US by both Verizon and Sprint offering the Nexus for free in many cases if you renew a 2 year contract with the carrier.
This video will show some demonstrations on what phone is faster, and performs the best. Of course the Samsung Galaxy III has the faster chip, so it's going to be faster either way, but if you like the features that Google passes along with their Google issued phones, you may want to go to the Nexus for faster updates from the Google Android folks.
The Samsung phones are historically not updated as quickly with new software as the phones that are made to the specifications of Google. Now with the LG Nexus 4 out, you may even want to consider purchasing that phone from Google themselves, but right now that phone is on a month long back order.

Welcome back to Glass Paper Ink's PERFECT MATCH, we know we're usually matching couples up here at GPI but we've decided to do things a little differently for Valentine's Day, one of our lucky finalists will walk away with a grand prize of a ROMANTIC GETAWAY TO A DESTINATION OF THEIR CHOOSING TO THE VALUE OF $50,000.
Please welcome our next guests...Carter & Indi
Kristine: Do you believe in love at first sight?
Carter: I didn't, but then I met Indiana.
Indi: Yes
Kristine: How do you know that each other was "the one"?
Carter: Because from the first day I met her she got under my skin and as much as I hated it at the time, I couldn't get her out of my mind. I was consumed by her.
Indi: I don't know, I just did. We had a love/hate relationship in the beginning, but it didn't take long for him to worm his way into my heart.
Kristine: Sounds like you tried to fight it *winks* so tell me about your first Valentines Day together?
Carter: I surprised her at work. I brought our dog LJ and a picnic lunch and we went to the park. I also bought her flowers, chocolates and a pair of edible undies, which I ate off her that night.
Indi: He turned up at my work at lunch time with our dog LJ, a picnic lunch, flowers and a box of chocolates and we went to the park. Oh and he also gave me a pair of edible undies, which is so Carter. *rolls eyes*
Kristine: *blushes and clears throat* so what are your plans for this Valentines Day?? Come on you can tell me *winks* I'll keep it a secret...
Carter: I've organised for our parents to watch the kids for the night. Indi's a simple girl and doesn't go for all that fancy crap, so I'm going to cook her a nice dinner and then take her bed for a marathon uninterrupted (we have three small children) sex session. I've also sketched and framed a large picture of our three beautiful kids to surprise her. I know she'll love it.
Indi: Carter told me not to make any plans, and that he was organising everything. He'll do something sweet, he always does. In saying that though, I know it will include sex, probably a lot, so I've bought some sexy lingerie to wear for him. He likes that.
Kristine: What would be the ultimate Valentines Day present Indiana could give to you?
Carter:Refer to pervious answer. Lots of uninterrupted sex. Hey I'm a guy. We have a one track mind.
Kristine: *laughs* well atleast you're honest!
Indi: He's giving me everything I could ever want, so I'd just say some alone time with him. We don't get as much now we're parents.
Kristine: so tell me, what would you rather, a big flashy gift with a night out on the town or a quiet night at home with each other?
Carter: A quiet night in with lots on uninterrupted sex. Sorry, but it's the truth. My wife is a babe and our sex romps are off the charts.
Indi: A night in with my sexy man.
Kristine: So tell me what's the most romantic thing you've ever done for each other?
Carter: Our first real date. I got my best mate Jax to set up a table up for us under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was complete with candles and stuff. It was just after we found out she was sick. I wanted to create a beautiful memory for her to help get her through her treatment. I even went as far as buying her a nice dress to wear, but in true Carter style, I stole all the underwear out of her draw so she was panty-less. I coped a lot of shit off Jax that night for being a pussy, but it was worth it. I'd do anything for my girl.
Indi: Well he surprised me and the kids this past Christmas with a trip to New York. He found my bucket list, and experiencing a white Christmas was #1 on the list. Like everything he does, it was special. We had an amazing time. But, for me, the most romantic thing he has ever done was our first date. It was just after I'd found out I had a brain tumour. I found a box on my bed that contained a beautiful dress and matching shoes. It included a note telling me to be ready at 7pm. He took me for a romantic candlelight dinner under Sydney Harbour Bridge. He had his friend Jax set it up for us. I'll never forget that night, even though we nearly got arrested for having sex in the car, it was magical evening. It was night I realised I couldn't live without him.
Kristine: Ok so lets play a game, how well do you know your partner time, GPI's Fast Five:
Top or Bottom? Top
Sexiest feature on Indi? She's the whole package, but if I had to choose I'd say her arse, her eyes and those damn lips.
Biggest turn off that Indi does? She as stubborn as all hell.
Three words to describe Indi? Nurturing, forgiving and loyal.
First thing you thought when you saw Indi for the first time?
My first thought was that she was babe and I wanted to bend her over and …. (I was seventeen and had a one track mind) That hasn't really changed much over the years.
Top or Bottom? Bottom
Sexiest feature on Carter? His body, and his tatts.
Biggest turn off that Carter does? He's a major smart arse.
Three words to describe Carter? Loving, an exceptional kisser, and an incredible husband/father.
First thing you thought when you saw Carter for the first time? He was incredibly hot, but a total prick. He had a really bad attitude back then, but funnily enough I could still see there was goodness in him. And I was right, he's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Kristine: and lastly, if you were to win GPI's Perfect Match, what destination would you pick for your holiday?
Carter: I'd probably take her back to New York. Went spent our last Christmas there, and it was the most amazing time of our lives.
Indi: Hands down New York. We had the most amazing time when we were there.

What Will a Chiropractic Treatment in Ft Campbell Involve?
Practitioners of Chiropractic Treatment in Ft Campbell believe strongly in the non-invasive approach to healing. A chiropractor places the focus squarely on natural healing, using no prescription medications. The philosophy of the chiropractor is that the body is able to provide its own healing remedies, if only it is triggered to do so properly. The chiropractic caregiver will perform the adjustments necessary to allow the body to do this self healing.
The nervous system controls virtually everything in the body, from the tiniest cells to the largest organs. The chiropractic caregiver will work on the spinal column because it is so closely tied to the nervous system. Any sensation that a person feels originates in the nervous system, and all of the nerves lead to the spinal column. If the spinal column moves away from its ideal position, a number of issues may start within the nervous system.
A fall can cause one of the back vertebra to move out of alignment, which can cause problems through the whole body. People who have poor posture, especially people who continually slump over, may have a misaligned spine. Sometimes a misaligned spine is the result of degenerative disease, for example arthritis or osteoporosis. Regardless of the reason the spinal alignment problems started, a chiropractic caregiver will focus on correcting it.
Some spinal alignment issues are quick and easy to correct. This may be especially true in cases like slip and fall accidents where a single vertebra knocked slightly out of alignment. In other cases, the correction will take longer. For example, people who have exhibited poor posture for their entire lives may have extremely misaligned spinal columns. It will take multiple chiropractic adjustments, spaced over a period of weeks or months, to correct severe postural issues.
The body will simply feel better overall when the spine is in the proper position. For this reason, many healthy people have regular chiropractic adjustments. There is no reason to wait until you're injured to see a chiropractor if you want to enjoy optimum health. If you are interested in trying Chiropractic Treatment in Ft Campbell, consider Ft Campbell Chiropractic. You can find their website at ftcampbellchiro.com on the Internet now.

Okay, I know it's not winter yet, and we've barely had a summer, but here are some kid's trends you're going to see at the end of the year.
Into The Wild
The natural world will be a major influence in kid's fashions this coming winter. It's a universal truth that kids love animals, and that's always a winner, particularly with young children. However, styles seem to be veering away from cuddly, teddy bear styles and accurately rendered animals. Native wildlife appears to be a winner, as images of foxes, dear, badgers and all other woodland creatures populate knitwear and other kinds of garments.
Also, you can expect to find winter scenes as the Christmas jumper comes back in a big way. While these are often worn ironically by adults, they still look super-cute on kids. Fir trees, snow flakes and other motifs might seem hokey, but when incorporated among some great quality childrens knits, the result is incredibly fun.
Blinded With Science
The world of hard science permeates news stories every day, and it's certainly starting to affect other areas of culture in unforeseen ways. From the research into the Higgs Boson particle to the technological advancements in everyday life, we're hungry for more knowledge about the scientific world. Fortunately, so are our kids.
You can effect to find some 'sciencey' designs in childrenswear later this year. We're not necessarily talking about test tubes and Bunsen burners here, but geometric shapes, space themes and other cool designs will become more popular in boutiques. This creates an exciting, energetic collection of clothing that uses colour in new, creative ways.
Old Fashioned And Quirky
It's all vintage, vintage, vintage, right? Vintage as far as the eye can see in kids clothes shops everywhere. There is a real charm to these styles, but they could do with a bit of freshening up. Fortunately, designers are a canny bunch, and come up with some fun new ideas to keep us interested. It's not just being old-fashioned anymore, now it's about eccentricity.
Children's storybooks are often about strange adventures, and the works of fil director Tim Burton and writer Neil Gaiman are starting to filter into the design concepts of many brands. Labes such as Bobo Choses have brought some fun designs such as bicycles and other cool prints.
Exaggerated motifs, from big bows on girl's Victorian dresses and even medal details on military-style tunic jackets add to the quirkiness. In fact, it seems that many children's clothing designers are playing around with the steampunk style, which is becoming more mainstream all the time.
Olive Loves Alfie offer a great selection of Bobo Choses baby clothes in a range of styles and colours for your children.

Pope Francis good for liturgical renewal or not?
Papa Francesco is good for everything, including liturgical renewal. When he first celebrated Mass in the Sistine Chapel he had them toss out the altar facing away from the congregation that his predecessor had installed, and thereby gave the signal indicating how he rated the reformed Vatican II liturgy vis-à-vis the restored pre-Vatican II Summorum Pontificum "extraordinary form."
Is the Vatican II liturgical renewal secure or endangered?
I think it is secure, because I believe the vast majority of Catholic people throughout the world confirm it by voting with their feet and going to Mass in the reformed rite, showing thereby that despite the right-wing neo-con wackos (hereafter NCW's), most Catholics prefer the reformed rite.
But that does not mean that the NCW's are not a threat, since it is said that large numbers of them now control the terrain in our seminaries. As Professor Massimo Faggioli, the Catholic point-man on these issues has shown, the Vatican II Liturgical Constitution was the fundamental document that led the way to the rest of Vatican II, so an attack against that key document is an attack against the guiding spirit of the Vatican II Council.
Anything good coming out of Summorum Pontificum?
Nope, unless creating unnecessary divisions in the Church and driving crazy our harried bishops who have too few priests to start with and now have to try and accommodate the NCW's is considered "good."
This question also involves a cluster of other issues that I believe need to be reconsidered:
[a] the whole question of conceiving apostolic succession via the "relay race pass the baton model" is questionable, since it is probably not provable with historical verisimilitude for any Church on earth, including that of Rome. It is not clear that Rome originally had a monarchical episcopate rather than some sort of collegial governing body, possibly presbyteral, in the earliest post-apostolic era.

"Our mission of disseminating knowledge is only half complete if the information is not made widely and readily available to society."
Open access is a broad international academic movement that seeks free and open online access to academic information, such as publications and data. When anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search for and search within the information, or use it in education or another way within the legal agreements, the publication is called 'open access', as there are no financial, legal or technical barriers.
Open access is also the term for a new business model for academic publishing that makes research information available to readers at no cost. It contrasts with the subscription model, in which readers have access to scholarly information, usually via a library, by paying a subscription.
One of the most important advantages of open access is that it increases the visibility and use of academic research results. There is also criticism, and quality deserves extra effort.
The principles of open access are set out in the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (2003). This declaration has been signed by many international organisations for academic research, including all Dutch universities and research organisations.
There are two ways of achieving open access:
Via the golden route: publication via publisher platforms, in open access journals. This route is in most cases not free. The publication costs, known as 'article processing costs' (APCs), are paid by the author or his or her institution. Some organisations that fund academic research feel that open access is important and they are willing to cover the costs themselves. A list of open access journals that are accessible worldwide can be found on the DOAJ website.
Via the green route: the full text of academic publications is deposited in a repository, a publicly accessible database managed by a research organisation. You will find the Dutch repositories via NARCIS, the Dutch portal for research information. NARCIS gives access to all the publications in the Dutch repositories.
Peter Suber, one of the founding fathers of the open access movement, gave this definition.

The "7 Tips Before Investing in the stock market" post was created to provide investors some insights as to what they need to do before investing. Investing can be risky and, at the same time, rewarding. Careful planning and analysis of investments and/or the stock market will help investors make better investment decisions.
Repost from The Practical Saver
The decision to place your money somewhere is a critical decision that shouldn't be taken lightly or in a whim. One wrong move after the other may mean a not-so bright future for you. On the other hand, a small step can bring light to and better chances of you having the future you dream of.
While it is easy to get bombarded and confused by media and its never ending injection of both informative and senseless data, you should stay calm and don't make decisions without careful planning and analysis.
According to fool.com, success in investing is not based on monitoring the market but analyzing the companies' strengths and weaknesses.
Here are 7 tips before investing in the stock market that you need to consider:
Tips Before Investing
Know your timeline (i.e. time associated with goals)
Time can be your biggest ally or your worst enemy. Depending on when you will need the money will mostly determine what investment strategy you should take. Short-term goals are goals hoped to be to be achieved within 3 to 5 years and it is best to take a conservative investment position.
Conservative investments tend to carry lower risks compared to aggressive investments but they do produce low returns, well, for most of the time. On the other hand, long-term goals are goals that are hoped to be achieved after at least 5 years and tend to lean towards higher-risk investments, which historically provide higher returns.
Know when to invest (i.e. time associated with when to use money)
One of the best tips before investing is knowing when to invest. Time also refers as to when one invests in the stock market. Do you invest all your money at one time when the market is down? How do you know when the market has bottomed?
Do you apply the "dollar cost averaging", which can protect you from the risks associated with investing your money at one time? The practice of dollar cost averaging is essential especially during a volatile market. By applying this strategy, you are reducing your risks by making consistent investments each time over a period of time. This will likely help you buy more shares for the same amount of money when the market is down, which won't happen if you invest all of your money at one time (i.e. when the share prices are high).
Have a plan
Another one of the best tips before investing is having a financial plan. Before making any investment decisions, it is always a must to have a financial plan in place. This plan can help you further understand your financial situation.
According to sec.gov, the first step to take for a successfully investment is to figure out your goals and risk tolerance. Your plan doesn't have to very elaborate but it needs important information such as your risk tolerance, short and long-term goals, investment strategies, etc.
Having a plan allows you to check and manage your progress and make adjustments, when necessary, to your investments to ensure you are aligned with your goals.

Have a purpose
For every decision you make especially an investment decision, there should be a purpose attached to it. Whether you want to invest because you want to save for your future or to buy a car 3-5 years from now, it is always an important practice to define your purpose for making investments.
The purpose will be key to what investment strategies (i.e. conservative, risky, or mixed) you likely should to consider. It will also help you decide whether to invest in one sector within the stock market or consider a mix of investments.
Be knowledgeable on investments
Your investment knowledge will have a great impact in your decision as to which investments to consider and which ones to stay away from. The more knowledgeable you are with investments, the better you are in making sound investment decisions.
A better-informed investor will be more knowledgeable about other investment instruments such as options, hedge funds, derivatives, mutual funds, among others and may reduce the chance of making bad investments. This may not be true with novice investors.
Define your risk tolerance
One of the most important factors to consider before investing or tips before investing is risk tolerance. Risk is uncertainty that can negatively affect investments returns. All investments do carry risks and they exist throughout the life of the stock or fund.
Risks can be low risk, high risk, or somewhere in between. In investing, you can lose money or earn money. It is in your best interest to identify your risk tolerance. If your risk is low, then, investments like term deposits and bank deposits best fit you.
If your risk is high, then, investments like stocks and bonds may be some of the options that you can invest on.
Some investors don't like losing money and prefer to stick with investments with low risk, typically those covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Though this may be sound and safe, there is an innate risk associated with such choice since inflation tends to rise faster than the return in bank instruments.
On the other hand, those who take greater risks have better chances of getting higher returns. According to FINRA, the level of risk typically correlates with the level of return that aninvestment may achieve.
Do you ever wonder why banks pay dismal interests in your accounts while investments tied to the stock market tend to achieve higher returns or loss value? The answer is because of the risks involved with either putting the money in the bank or investing the money in the stock market.
Find better use of resources
A lot of people want to invest in the stock market to make their money grow. But another important consideration to be aware of is whether your money can be better used somewhere else. When deciding to invest in the stock market, it is in the best interest of the investors to ask if they are better off investing their money in the stock market or address issues that involve using money like credit card debts, emergency funds replenishment, among others.
It goes to say that, at times, there are certain activities that make more practical and financial sense that putting resources towards investments.
For example, you have $10,000 that you consider putting up for investment; however, you also have $10,000 in credit card debts with an average APR of 15%. As an investor, you should consider if it's best to pay off the debt or invest the money. In a perfect world, the answer is to invest the money if the investment produces at least 15% every year plus some interest to cover for tax liabilities. But if it's not the case, then, it's better to pay those debts off.
It's always a good strategy to think things over before making any decisions. This is applicable especially to investing. You don't want to start investing just because you see the market is down and have opportunity to buy more.
Careful thinking, thorough analysis, and proper management are necessary to ensure that you are fully aware of the consequences (good and bad) of investing. Remember that even a small bad investment can make a big difference to and for your financial future. Next time you consider making investments, please think of these 7 tips before investing in the stock market.

I've lived in Texas for eight years, and visited plenty of times before that, but never had I made it to the famous Round Top Antique Show in Round Top, Texas. I'd heard about it plenty of times, and I know my grandparents found some great pieces for their homes in years past, but it just hadn't been at the top of my Texas travel to-do list. I figured I needed to share a beginner's guide to Round Top, Texas based off my own experiences during our first time visiting!
Well, that all changed when Chevrolet reached out for a partnership to visit Round Top in their latest Chevy Equinox, where Rick and I spent the weekend exploring the antique mecca. Because we experienced it for the first time, I figured there might be others who would want to hear a how-to or read all about beginner's guide to Round Top, Texas.
We made the 1.5 hour drive from Houston to Round Top in comfort and ease, thanks to our friends at Chevrolet. The highways and narrow country roads were easy to navigate in our new Chevrolet Equinox SUV. One of my favorite parts included the built-in wifi feature; we were connected in our vehicle without using up our own precious phone data. So for someone like me, who needs to be connected more often than not, this feature was right up my alley.
Leave it to Texas, the weather rarely cooperates, and of course it rained, but we both felt super comfortable with how the Equinox handled the wet and curvy roads, plus handled the conditions nicely.
Another aspect both Rick and I loved in our Chevrolet Equinox: syncing up the Apple Play and listening to our favorite jams, including Dave Matthews and Mumford and Sons, while taking in the gorgeous spring Texas wildflowers, including Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brushes, and enjoying the sights and must-stops in Round Top, Texas.
Since it was Rick and I's first time visiting Round Top, we figured we ought to compile a beginner's guide to Round Top, Texas, seeing as we've chatted with many people who have also never been before, or went once and found it extremely intimidating or overwhelming. If you stick to this handy beginner's guide to Round Top, Texas, you'll definitely be in the know and feel satisfied, like we did, that we did Round Top right. Here's the Adored by Alex beginner's guide to Round Top, Texas.
Places to Stay
Rancho Pillow // We called this whimsical retreat home during our Round Top stay. It was definitely quite a sight and extremely unique! We stayed in a loft room in the main house, but there's also an airstream and a teepee if you're looking to rough it a little more. Just a few miles from the antique tents in Warranton, during the antique show, it's a great spot for large groups and events. They actually host a bi-annual event, coinciding with the Round Top Antiques Show, called Feasts in the Field where folks gather for a tasty meal of locally sourced produce and meats, with guest chefs and fun camaraderie.
Round Top Inn // According to Trip Advisor reviews, this Inn is one of the top places to stay in Round Top. Centrally located, well-appointed rooms and delicious breakfast. Worth checking out!
Rent an Airbnb // There are plenty of Airbnb properties available, but they fill up quickly! You can also look outside of Round Top, but within driving distances in the following towns: Warrenton, Brenham, and New Ulm.
Where to Eat
Feed & Firewater // We didn't get the chance to eat here, but we drove by and it's just darling! Be sure to check their website for hours, and call ahead during peak times for a reservation. Open on specific days for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.
Los Patrones // A Mexican food spot that always had a line outside whenever we drove by. Sounds to be working out the kinks, as they were recently purchased by the owner of one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Houston, Armandos. Within walking distance of Round Top town square.
Lulus // Hands down one of the most delicious restaurants I've eaten at in a long time! This darling little spot sits nestled in the Round Top square in an older house and is absolutely delicious. We ate with the group in their event space, lit by candlelight (!!!) and noshed on the most delicious charcuterie boards, pasta and more. If you find yourself in the area, you have to eat here! Open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only. Definitely at the top of my beginner's guide to Round Top, Texas visitor list!
Prost // Round Top's wine bar that offers cozy outdoor seating where you can catch up with friends over a glass of wine and enjoy yummy charcuterie boards.
Royers Round Top Cafe // A country-type cafe, serving up homestyle cooking and homemade pies. This spot was closed when we visited, but I've been told it's the place to stop at during the Antiques Show.
Royers Pie Haven // Delicious made from scratch pies that sell out super quickly. Not much seating, but wait in line for a slice of pie and a coffee (roasted right next-door!) and enjoy the deliciousness on one of the benches in the square. The pecan pie is to die for!
Tin Lizzie's // Not in Round Top proper, but a must-stop if you're heading up to Round Top or back to the Houston-area. This mother-daughter owned cafe is in the small town of New Ulm, and you will not be disappointed. Homemade breads and pastries, plus tasty desserts. Rick and I tried the gumbo and red beans and rice (A+) and shared a chicken salad sandwich, all so delicious. We will most definitely be back!
What to Do
Arbor Antiques // Situated on 13 acres, just one mile north of Round Top square, this antiques show has become one of the premier antique shows and destinations in the South.
Marburger Farm Antique Show // We didn't get to hit this show as it had already closed for the season, but I've been told it's a must-stop. 2019 dates are as follows: April 2-6, 2019; October 1-5, 2019. 43-acres make it a must stop!
Market Hill // Filling a 119,00 square building, just 19 vendors make the cut at this locale. Definitely easier to explore and not as overwhelming, but perhaps a bit more expensive. This venue has free wi-fi, dedicated parking and air-conditioned restrooms!
The Compound // 57-acres and located just 2-miles south of Round Top square, Rick and I were able to stop into this permanent structure of buildings (with nice bathrooms and air conditioning!!!) during our trip to Round Top and we were seriously impressed. A bevy of dealers, from all lengths and types of items, including antiques, rugs and estate jewelry, etc. This spot also hosts weddings and other events during off times.
Recycling the Past // One of the few architectural salvage spots remaining in Texas, Recycling the Past has pretty much everything you could ever imagine. Whether it's a beautiful door from the 1900s or vintage drawer pulls, you can definitely spend hours at this spot searching for wonderful finds.
Round Top Antique Show // Check out the dates, as the show runs for a week in both the spring and fall. This year's dates are April 1-6, 2019 and September 30th through October 5th. Premier antique vendors from all around the country. Rick and I walked through the permanent, air-conditioned space. Pay for tickets at entry and walk through the abundance of dealers. Permanent bathrooms, air-conditioned, as well!
Before you go…
- Make sure you have plenty of cash, as most vendors only accept it.
- Bring a measuring tape, plenty of water and snacks (in case lines are too long for the above recommended restaurants)
- Have a plan before you go! Trust me, you'll get overwhelmed. We were overwhelmed and we weren't looking to purchase anything in particular. Know before you go, what you're looking for specifically, and map out where you want to shop!

For those of you who love Sjaak's (or are eager to try their products), I have great news: All of their chocolates are now vegan! Sjaak's was one of the first chocolatiers to recognize the demand for dairy-free chocolates. Since those initial vegan chocolate bars years ago, they have rapidly expanded their non-dairy offerings, which it appears have now taken over. And I'm pretty happy about it.
Sjaak's offers individual chocolates, bars, seasonal chocolates, and their boxed chocolates for gift giving.
Tasting Notes for Sjaak's Boxed Chocolates
Before I even mention how positively delicious these chocolates were (past tense, not a chocolate smudge left), I must comment on the package itself. I love, and I mean love, how Sjaak's put a what's what chart on the back. The perfect image told me without a doubt what chocolates we were sampling. For those picky boxed-chocolate eaters, this means no more taking a bite only to discover it is your least favorite flavor. While I love surprises in general, I do like to know what I am getting into with my chocolates.
Salted Caramel
These generously-sized chocolate shop-style caramels were so smooth, so creamy, and SO delicious. The touch of chunky sea salt was an amazing contrast that left me wanting for more.
I have to admit, one could easily mistake the milky chocolate coating and rich caramel filling for their dairy-filled nemesis. Oh, and did I mention that they come in flavors? Each four-count box includes a Ginger, Orange, Almond and Hazelnut salted caramel – all organic, all vegan, all indulgent.
Chocolate Caramel
Unlike Sjaak's dark caramel bar, oozing with a thin layer of creamy caramel, this was a real caramel chew. The good, stick-to-your-teeth filling was coated with a thick layer of Sjaak's dark chocolate. It was a fairly mild dark for those who are timid, but with just enough of that bittersweet note to keep things interesting.
Pistachio Caramel
I wasn't sure what to expect on this one. Much to my surprise, this chocolate had a sweeter center and a milder overall taste that seemed to dance on my tongue. A definite winner! Oh and the pistachio on top was the perfect touch.
Pecan Caramel
The pecan caramel had a much softer center, which my teeth were grateful for. Overall, it had more of a calming milk chocolate like flavor, and little tiny bits of pecans dotted throughout. Thus far, a possible favorite.
Mocha Caramel
Softer than the Chocolate Caramel, but not quite as soft as the Pecan one, this caramel had a potent coffee taste that I didn't mind when melded with the chocolate and soothing caramel. Since I am not a coffee fan, it isn't surprising that this one wasn't my first choice. It was a bit strong for my taste buds, but perfect for any mocha lover. I admit being intrigued by the chocolate mocha burst affixed atop this chocolate. I had assumed it was a coffee bean, but it turned out to be a wonderfully rich chocolate chunk with a coffee hint.
Peanut Caramel
This ode to a peanut chew had little bits of peanuts dotting the chewy caramel center. The chocolate coating was mild, almost milky, sliding down with ease and leaving the focus on the filling.
Almond Crunch
Expecting just chocolate-coated almonds, I was incredibly surprised and delighted as a bit into this truly unique chocolate. A very likable chocolate background (not too bitter, not too sweet) was riddled with an incredibly addictive sugary crunch. Large almond chunks dotted the top for a creative finish that made this chocolate my hands down favorite. If Sjaak's sold a box with nothing but this flavor in it, I would be their first customer.
I can only describe this chocolate as very pleasant. It possessed the slight flavor of a peanut-y caramel, but with a very soft and forgiving caramel center that melted into a warm buttery aftertaste.
Coconut Caramel
Perfect for the coconut lover, this was another relatively soft caramel with sweet coconut bits throughout. Very delightful and sweet.
Cashew Cluster
This flavor has nice cashew chunks and a good flavor overall. Of course, cashews and chocolate are just a naturally winning combination!
Snowballs: White Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
Perfect for gift-giving, these amazingly decadent delights have that "I can't believe it's vegan" factor.
The center is packed with real hazelnut goodness – an indulgent nut butter-esque filling contrasted with an amazing nutty crunch. The outer white chocolate coating (yes, dairy-free white chocolate) is fabulously thick and perfectly sweet. For delicious decoration, they give the truffles a "coconut-finished" look, but it is actually just "shreds" of white chocolate, no coconut in site. The white chocolate is made with organic rice milk powder, cocoa butter and almond milk for an incredibly creamy texture.
The Facts on Sjaak's
Price: $5.95 per 4-count box / $9.95 per 9-count box

Vegan chocolate mastery
Sjaak's has mastered the art of vegan chocolates – from their smooth milky chocolate coatings, to a spot-on caramel filling. And they've made me want to top all chocolates with sea salt!

Tenant testimonial video
What Is Important
How We Do It
When the property is ready to be inspected, clean and with all maintenance work completed, our clerks will need access to the rooms, garden and garage. The inspection for a 2-3 bedrooms property usually takes 3 hours to be completed, it will be done on site, leaving no room for mistakes, you will receive the report automatically in your email. You will be notified in due time of any potential maintenance issue before the move in date.
Protect Your Deposit
Check Out reports are vital when tenants move out, the Tenant wants to get back their deposit and at the same time, it is important for the Landlord to make sure they can apply a charge if it is needed.
What can be deducted from the Tenant's deposit?
A landlord can make deductions for things that cost them money, it's reasonable for a landlord to take money off the tenant's deposit to cover damage to the property or furniture, missing items that were listed on the inventory, paying for cleaning because the property was left in a dirty condition, or outstanding rent owed by the tenant.
A landlord shouldn't deduct money from the deposit to cover damage that could be regarded as fair wear and tear. Wear and tear happen when furniture and contents deteriorate as a result of normal use, for example, carpet becoming worn. Generally, wear and tear take place over a long period of time through normal use.
Anything which needs to be repaired or replaced should be on a 'like for like' basis, so a second-hand desk shouldn't be replaced with a brand new one.
At the end of the tenancy, the tenant(s) have to return the property in the same condition that it was originally let, "allowing for fair wear and tear ".

Resurrection in the Gospel of Mark
Placing ourselves in the midst of the gospel of Mark allows us to fully recognize the impact of the resurrection.
One of the more interesting biblical puzzles involves the account of the resurrection in the Gospel of Mark. Among the ancient versions of Mark that still survive, there are several different endings, most of which read like a more brief version of the other gospels. Several women find an empty tomb and are told that Jesus is alive. These women report this to the other disciples. Then, the resurrected Jesus appears to the disciples to encourage and teach them before promising His return and ascending to the Father.
However, the oldest remaining complete versions of Mark end quite abruptly in 16:8. This verse records that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome find the empty tomb and are told that Jesus has risen from the dead. Then the three flee in fear and amazement and tell no one. End of story.
Scholars haven't reached consensus as to which was the original ending and probably never will. But let's imagine for a moment a plausible scenario: the original version ended right there with verse 8, void of any encounters with the resurrected Jesus and the disciples leaving fearful and confused. This doesn't seem to be a very appropriate ending to a book we call a 'gospel.' What are we to make of this?
Well, first, let's be clear. The tomb is empty! Mark is perfectly clear on this point. Furthermore, Jesus is risen from the dead. The angelic figure in white declares this to the three disciples, and early Christians were universal in affirming the resurrection. The truth of the resurrection is not in question here. It's an assumed fact.
So, then, why end the gospel on such a low note? Why conclude with the first witnesses to the empty tomb fleeing in fear and silence?
Stepping into the Mystery
Earlier stories in Mark's gospel show us that this fear and confusion is not unusual. In fact, in all four gospels, we find disciples struggling to understand Jesus. Occasionally, Jesus must interpret His parables for them in order to alleviate their confusion. This is especially emphasized by Mark. The disciples are continually confused by Jesus' teachings, fail to understand His miracles, and seem at a complete loss to fully comprehend who Jesus is.
This is poignantly expressed in a series of events recounted in the first few chapters of Mark. Jesus performs miracle after miracle: healing the sick and the lame, casting out demons, calming the wind and waves, and feeding a massive crowd with just five loaves and two fish. Exhausted by this flurry of activity, Jesus retreats to pray and rest while the disciples go on ahead. However, from His hilltop hideout, Jesus notices that the twelve are struggling to row along the shore, so He leaves behind His solace to provide them with help, walking out to them upon the waves (Mark 6:45-50). Rather than rejoice that their miracle-working master has come to help, the disciples cry out in terror because they do not "recognize" Him (6:49).
Ironically, Mark records a wide range of people "recognizing" Jesus: Demons know His name (Mark 1:23-25; 5:6-7). The blind can "see" who He is (10:47). Encountering Him for the first time, foreigners immediately know Him, despite His desire to keep a low profile (7:24-30). But, after having performed all these miracles, when Jesus miraculously extends help to those who should know Him best, they confuse Him with a ghost (6:49). Adding insult to injury, after He rescues the disciples and they reach their destination, "as soon as they got out of the boat," Mark reports, "the people recognized Jesus" (6:54).
It should come as no surprise to us, then, that three of His disciples might fail to apprehend the meaning of the empty tomb. But why does Mark leave us with their silence?
Placing Ourselves in the Story
I found all of this quite vexing until my first encounter with Rembrandt's masterpiece, Storm on the Sea of Galilee, in which he depicts the plight of the disciples as they respond to the squall. There are many different responses: some struggle to steer the rudder, others desperately pull at the sails. Still others awaken Jesus, pulling at His sleeves, pleading for Him to intervene.
One is bent over the side of the boat, caught in the pangs of a sea-sickened stomach. Then, there is one who stands out from the rest. Closer inspection reveals that this character is the fourteenth figure in the painting and bears the face of none other than Rembrandt himself. He has included himself in the boat, in this hapless scene, staring straight out at the onlooker.
His visage is confrontational and imploring as if he is asking, "What would you be doing if you were in the boat?"
Leaving the Response to Us
I think I just might understand the depiction of the disciples in Mark, and especially the way that Mark ends. Mary Magdalene, Mary, Salome, Peter, and all of the other disciples who struggle to "get it" are not only the historical individuals who lived and walked with the Lord 2,000 years ago. They are also Jesus's disciples today. They are you and me. Like Rembrandt, Mark has written us into the story and left us with a question: How will you respond to the empty tomb?
We have heard His teachings. We have heard about the miracles and the empty tomb. We believe it all: it's part of our reality as Christians, a taken-for-granted fact of our faith. But, what difference does it make in our lives? Do we fully appreciate the shocking and unexpected truth of the resurrection? Has it taken over our lives, transformed us, filled us with hope, courage, and power and stirred us into action? If not, perhaps it is time for us to see ourselves in the last verses of Mark and ask ourselves: What would I do?
Like the disciples, we are left with a choice. Will we be overcome with fear and confusion and keep this life-changing news to ourselves? Will we keep silent? Or, will we tell the whole world?

I'm sure at one time or another, every artist is asked, "How long did it take you to paint that?" Very wise Jean Leigh of The Leigh Gallery in Chicago suggested to say, "Thirty-nine years (my age, HA! wishful thinking) because it has taken a lifetime to get to the point where we can paint as we do.
For many months I have been studying sky/water/boats, boats being very foreign to me other than through casual observation. A dear friend put forth Herculean effort and many, many hours to help me revamp and organize my Penthouse (attic) studio, and she would not accept a penny for it. She suggested she might like my little Door County plein air painting of the Fish Creek Harbor, which was so awful that it is now gessoed over and a different subject. I've wanted to give her something I can be proud of and that she will be happy to hang in her home.
Yesterday I went back to the Harbor near the Sailing Center looking for more lessons and inspiration. The sailboat in this painting was oddly floating this way and that, even in circles, seemingly with no real purpose or guidance. Upon closer look, it was clear that in that boat were five women without a care in the world, just laughing and floating around within the boundaries near the North Gap lighthouse. I came home and spent hours studying the photos and drawing the different images I had taken, carefully studying the angles. I got no painting done, other than to correct Pepper's eye from the previous day's painting and I was frustrated.
Today, I decided to try once again and as I was painting, I thought about those women who were having such a wonderful time on a beautiful June day, and I was disappointed that I allowed myself to get so frustrated over sails, water, and sky. That was the real lesson I learned yesterday at the Lakefront. I know this is not a perfect painting, and I may have more work to do. Honest husband critic says, "Nothing special." It has the elements that say "Milwaukee," and in this case, the amount of time it took me to paint it was incalculable, yet worth it in my mind.

Pifco: A Manchester institution that shaped our Electric Generations
By Owen Davies, University of Hertfordshire
The Provincial Incandescent Fittings Company — better known as Pifco — was established in Manchester by Joseph Webber (1876-1955) to sell lighting appliances and accessories. He was born in Brzostek, then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now in Poland, and came to London with his family in the 1880s. He worked as a hawker, and then as sole agent for the American Electric Co., as well as being an importer of gas mantles.

Dumped on Facebook? There's a wine for that. Cheering for the Giants? There's a drink for that, too, says Virginia sommelier Diane McMartin. Her first book, "This Calls for a Drink!" (Workman Publishing, $14.95) serves as both light-hearted wine and beer intro and situational drinking guide. Instead of classic food and wine pairings, McMartin considers the situation's emotional heft. Naturally, we had questions about these unorthodox pairings.
Q What was the inspiration for the book?
A My roommate was doing online dating. One date didn't go well, so she came home and asked, "What goes with getting dumped?' We started talking about what goes with different types of breakups. I wrote articles on the subject for The Hairpin (www.thehairpin.com). Workman Publishing thought they were funny and approached me to turn them into a book. I hope that people find a nice mix of wines they haven't heard of — new ways to look at classic beers and wines that they drink all the time.
Q How do you decide what goes with what?
A For some situations, it's practical, like what goes with camping or being on the beach. I think about whether something feels celebratory or serious — are you drinking with a friend or on a first date?
Q Say we're at a ball game, wine or beer?
A Drinking over a longer period of time: beer because it is lower in alcohol, has carbonation and is refreshing, as opposed to a glass of 15-percent alcohol zinfandel.
Q What about binge-watching "Game of Thrones"?
A "Game of Thrones" is a fantasy, but it seems very medieval to me. Back in the day before they had the winemaking technology we do today, wine looked and smelled much different. I would pick something that looks and tastes like a throwback to that time, a rosé from France's southern region called Tavel, a darker-style rosé.
Q What should we drink to survive the 2016 elections?
A I don't know if there is any wine or beer strong enough to get us all through election season.
