Denver Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Attorneys
Our Denver nursing home abuse & neglect attorneys have seen a significant rise in the amount of cases involving nursing home abuse and neglect throughout central Colorado. These cases likely represent only a small number of abuse and neglect incidences occurring in nursing facilities. This is because many victims or family members failed to report mistreatment by the nursing staff or harm caused by other residents in the facility because they fear retaliation or do not understand what to do.
Medicare regularly collects information on every nursing facility in Denver, Colorado based on data gathered through inspections, surveys and investigations. According to the federal agency, currently, twenty (23%) of these eighty-seven Denver nursing facilities were found to have serious deficiencies and violations that led to the nursing staff providing unprofessional care to their residents. Did your loved one suffer harm through mistreatment, neglect or abuse while living in a nursing facility in Denver? If so, let our team of legal experts protect your rights starting now. We urge you to contact the Denver nursing home abuse & neglect lawyers at Nursing Home Law Center (800-926-7565) today.

Nearly 12.7 percent or 81,000 of the 635,000 residents living within the Denver city limits are senior citizens. The number of elders is even higher when accounting for the surrounding area including Aurora, Centennial, Glendale, Thornton and the cities in Northeast Jefferson County. Many are attracted to the area because of its amenities, beautiful climate and access to some of the best skiing in the Rocky Mountains.
However, the increasing population of retirees has placed a huge demand on many nursing facilities in the Denver area. The overcrowded conditions at many assisted-living homes, nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers have caused significant problems for Administrators who are challenged to find the numbers of registered nurses, nurses' aides, certified nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses to meet the needs of every resident in their facility. As a result, many nursing homes have seen a sharp increase in cases involving abuse, neglect and mistreatment.Denver Colorado Nursing Home Resident Safety Concerns

Primary Concerns –
Failure to Provide Appropriate Care for Residents Requiring Special Services
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 03/04/2015, a complaint investigation was opened against the facility for its failure to "ensure for [3 residents at the facility receiving] oxygen administration." The complaint investigation was initiated after a record review, interviews and observations by state surveyor.
Incidents occurring on 02/01/2015 and 02/03/2015, notations made in the Nurses' Notes "read that the resident's oxygen saturation was 90 percent on room air." The Nurses' Notes also indicated "that the resident's oxygen was set at two liters per minute on 01/31/2015, 02/02/2015, 02/04/2015, 02/05/2015, 02/08/2015, 02/15/2015 through 02/17/2015 and 02/19/2015 through 02/21/2015. Then again on 02/22/2015, 02/23/2015 and 02/25/2015 the surveyor made notations of the nurse's notes that read "the resident's oxygen was set at 2.5 liters per minute."
The state surveyor investigating the deficient practice interviewed the facility's Director of Nursing on 03/03/2015 who acknowledged "the physician's orders for oxygen administration should always be followed and that the oxygen level should not be lower than stated on the physician's order."
Our Denver nursing home neglect attorneys recognize that any failure to properly care for residents requiring special services places their health and well-being in jeopardy. The deficient practices do not follow established procedures and protocols adopted by the facility and violates federal and state regulations.

Failure to Provide Residents an Environment Free of Accident Hazards
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 07/31/2015, a state surveyor made a notation during an annual licensure and certification survey concerning the facility's failure to "ensure that [5 residents at the facility] were free from accident hazards." The deficient practice failed to ensure that a resident "was provided with proper consistency fluids to minimize the risk of choking/aspiration." The state surveyor interviewed a resident who reported "that she was not safe to mix up or thickened liquids because she could not remember the correct amount of thickener and to remember not to drink the thin liquids while waiting for the thickener. She stated, luckily, my roommate takes care of my thickened liquids. My doctor warned me that if I aspirated again you would not be able to save my life again. Scares me that they leave me alone with the liquids. She reported that she ate all of her meals in her room at bedside with her roommate" which was confirmed by her roommate.
Our Aurora nursing home attorneys recognize that failing to provide appropriate standards of care and failing to provide adequate supervision and assistance for a resident requiring assistance could place a resident's life in jeopardy and might be considered mistreatment or negligence. The deficient practice fails to meet the minimum standards of acceptable levels of care outlined in procedures and policies adopted by the facility and violates federal and state regulations.

Primary Concerns –
Failure to Follow Procedures and Protocols for Reporting and Investigating Any Act of Alleged Abuse Involving a Resident
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 11/25/2014, a notation was made during an annual licensure and certification survey by a state investigator concerning the facility's failure to "ensure all alleged violations involving mistreatment, neglect or abuse were fully investigated and reported in accordance with facility policy and State law." This failure to ensure that an allegation of neglect and an allegation of physical abuse for a resident at the facility was fully investigated and reported to the "police and the state surveyor and certification agency."
The incident involved a resident reporting that "a female CNA caring for him overnight on approximately 08/10/2014 was rough with him when putting him to bed, describes the CNA hit the resident with her open hand on his shoulder/chest area, stating to the resident, I know what cops like. According to the report, the resident thought he could identify the CNA in question if he saw her again, but was unable to identify the alleged perpetrator when shown CNA identification badges and when certain female CNAs were sent in the resident's room to complete simple tasks."
Even though female CNAs in the facility with the opportunity to provide care to the resident who could have abused the resident during the timeframe in question denied the allegations. As a result, "the facility believed the criteria for verbal/physical abuse were not met and failed to report the allegation of abuse to the state surveyor and certification agency and to the police." Additionally, the facility was unable to "identify the CNA involved in the alleged event, night CNAs were required to attend an abuse-free environment lesson provided by the facility."
Even though the resident "denied he felt pain during the alleged encounter, [the incident] scared him."
Our Denver/Morrison nursing home abuse attorneys recognize that any failure to follow protocols of reporting and investigating an act of abuse violates both federal and state regulations. In addition, the deficient practices might be considered gross negligence if the resident is physically, mentally or emotionally harmed.

Primary Concerns –
Failure to Provide Necessary Housekeeping to Ensure That the Resident Is Comfortable in a Sanitary and Orderly Environment
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 02/09/2015, a notation was made by a state surveyor during an annual licensure and certification survey involving the facility's failure to "provide housekeeping and maintenance services necessary to maintain a sanitary, orderly and comfortable interior." The deficient practice was noted after an observation of the facility where the state surveyor noted that "the bathroom in room 341 was observed on [02/02/2015 at 11:15 AM] to have a brown substance on the floor in front of the toilet on the raised toilet seat and on the armrests of the raised toilet seat. In the waste basket, there were multiple wads of soiled toilet tissue. The washcloths and handles at the sink in the resident's room were observed to have brown substance on them as well as the bed sheets and pillowcases." At noon, the observer noted that the resident's bathroom and room "were observed in the same above condition" at noon, 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM. During the 3:30 PM observation, "the housekeeper had cleaned the resident's room and bathroom." However, "the armrests of the raised toilet seat remain soiled with the same brown substance as if they had not been wiped down. The washcloths, hand towels and bed linens remain soiled as well."
In an interview occurring on 02/09/2015 with the facility's Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator confirmed "in both housekeeping and nursing staff should have identified and observed conditions of the resident's rooms." In addition, they also "confirm the condition should have been identified, reported and cleaned by housekeeping staff long before they were."
Our Denver/Broomfield nursing home neglect and mistreatment attorneys recognize any failure to provide necessary housekeeping to clean up soiled areas in the bathroom and resident's room do not follow the established procedures and protocols adopted by the facility and might be considered negligence or mistreatment.

Primary Concerns –
Failure to Follow Protocols When Providing Residents Physician-Ordered Pain Medications That Caused the Resident to Experience Extreme Pain for an Extensive Amount of Time
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 01/14/2015, a notation was made by a state surveyor during an annual licensure and certification survey involving the facility's failure to "to provide care and services to bring the highest practical level of well-being for [2 residents at the facility]." The facility's deficient practice to monitor and treat a resident for pain resulted in a resident experiencing a high level of pain registered at eight out of 10.
The deficient practice was noted after a review of the facility's MARs indicating that the resident "had no pain assessment completed that morning. The most recent pain assessment had been completed the previous day. The notes in the 01/14/2015 MARs "indicated that the resident did not receive a dose of either [pain medications] to manage his pain.
The state surveyor conducted a 01/14/2015 11:14 AM interview with the facility's LPN (licensed practical nurse) who stated "that she was running late on medication pass. The LPN stated that she did not arrive to work until 10 AM." However, when the resident was interviewed a second time at 11:43 AM, the resident indicated "that he still had not received his pain medication and indicated that his pain was now an eight out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. The resident stated that the nurse had not been by to check on him that morning." During an interview at 1226, the resident then stated "that he had just received his medication but that it had not started working yet and that he had pain from shoulders to toes at an eight out of 10."
In an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing later that afternoon stated "that any pain assessment that had been conducted for the resident would have been noted in the MARs under the order for pain assessment and that the absence of documentation indicated that no pain assessment had been performed." The Director also confirmed that there was a four hour delay in the resident receiving their medications and that the "lack of documentation of the resident's pain level indicates that no pain assessment had been performed" and that the practice was unacceptable.
Our Denver/Parker nursing home neglect attorneys recognize that any failure to provide pain medication in a timely manner might be considered negligence or mistreatment. This is confirmed by the facility's Director of Nursing stating "that she was aware that the resident's nurse had got to the facility [late] and another nurse was supposed to administer the medication but apparently did not ensure that the resident's medication for pain were administered as ordered."

Primary Concerns –
Failure to Follow Established Protocols and Reporting and Investigating Any Actor Report of Abuse, Neglect or Mistreatment of a Resident
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 01/06/2015, a notation was made during an annual licensure and certification survey by a state investigator concerning the facility's failure to "conduct a thorough investigation and allegations of physical abuse for [2 residents at the facility]." The deficient practice was noted after a review of an allegation of abuse involving resident to resident contact on 11/18/2015. The records revealed that staff members observed a resident punching another resident in the arm. "The facility's investigation showed staff members were interviewed regarding the event, but no residents were interviewed regarding the interactions with [the aggressive resident] or regarding possible witnessed events involving [the aggressive resident]" to make a determination of exactly what happened.
The investigation conducted by the facility showed that a cognitively impaired resident and various "staff members were interviewed regarding the alleged event as part of the investigation." The resident "stated he witnessed the interaction between [the allegedly aggressive resident] and the staff member in question and denied the staff member had punched [the resident] in the ribs. The facility noted the allegation of physical abuse was not sustained."
However, our Denver/Englewood nursing home abuse lawyers recognize that any failure to follow policies and procedures might be considered negligence, mistreatment or abuse. Our lawyers have identified the facility did not follow its established policies including the June 2013 policy titled: Abuse & Neglect Prohibition. Some pertinent parts read "each resident has a right to be free from mistreatment, neglect, abuse, involuntary seclusion, injuries of unknown origin and misappropriation of property. Facility supervisors will immediately correct, intervene and report an identified situation in which abuse is at risk for occurring. The facility supervisory staff will integrate into the supervisory process monitoring staff members and residents for behavior indicative of high stress levels that may lead to neglect or abuse or may escalate a continuum of aggression."

Failure to Provide Necessary Standards of Care to a Resident Who Sustained a Fall That Contributed to Their Death
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 07/15/2015, a notation was made by a state surveyor during an annual licensure and certification survey involving the facility's failure to "ensure the highest practical well-being for [a resident at the facility] who sustained a fall." The deficient practice was a specific failure by facility staff who "did not take appropriate actions based on the resident's condition after a fall with injury or provide accurate details of the resident's condition to the physician (after the fourth fall) resulting in a delay in hospitalization. The injury was determined to have contributed to the resident's death."
The surveyor reviewed the Emergency Department Report dated 04/19/2015 that states "fall yesterday at 2200 (10 PM), unwitnessed, complaints of headaches today with hematoma to head. On upper extremities the patient does not withdraw from pain stimulus of either upper extremity. There is a contusion on the left skull." However, the facility failed to "inform them that the resident was found in the hallway (not in his room) after an undetermined amount of time nor did the facility inform them that the resident had remained unresponsive for 5 to 7 minutes after being found." The Medical Director further stated "they had not been made aware of the abrasion (later identified as a hematoma) to the resident's forehead and not been informed of the irregular neurological checks." The Medical Director had stated that if the information they received from the facility had been accurate in accordance with the records at the facility "the medical directive would have been different, specifically they would have advised for emergent hospitalization."
Our Denver/Lakewood nursing home abuse lawyers recognize the facility failed to follow their own policies and procedures especially the October 10 policy titled Facility Policy: Falls-Assessing Fall in Their Causes that instructs the staff what to do once the resident falls with or without a witness, who to notify within the appropriate timeframe and communication of specific injuries or changes in condition by notifying the practitioner by phone immediately.
The corners report documents the resident's cause of death as cardiopulmonary arrest due to or as a consequence of a cervical C-2 fracture "due to or consequence of mechanical fall."

Failure to Provide an Environment Free of Accident Hazards
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 10/10/2014, a state surveyor made a notation during an annual licensure and certification survey concerning the facility's failure to "ensure the resident environment remain as free of accident hazards as possible." This deficient practice directly affected six residents at the facility who failed to "receive adequate supervision to prevent accidents."
The deficient practice was noted after an initial review and observation by the state surveyor the noting revealed that "the facility failed to assess the resident safety to have a lock on an egress door. The facility failed to equip all staff with the appropriate key to open the door when a resident was in distress or in the instance of an emergency. The facility's failure to keep facility residents safe created a situation of Immediate Jeopardy with the potential for serious harm."
In one incident, a resident "was in his room with the door closed. His calls for help were heard in the hallway outside his room. The door to his room was closed. The call bell light outside the door was not illuminated." While the resident's room door was locked and could not be open, the key was visible in the doorknob but did not unlock the door. The bed control was found on the floor and out of the reach of the resident. The resident was found "lying on his bed with his legs dangling above the floor."
Our Denver/Englewood nursing home neglect lawyers know that any deficient practice that places the lives of residents in danger could be considered negligence or mistreatment. In addition, the failure to maintain a safe environment for all residents violate state and federal regulations.

This failure directly affected one resident when the facility "failed to sufficiently monitor for complications related to the use of a chest port and newly placed surgical fistula [to appropriately perform the resident's treatment]."
While the nursing staff was to feel and listen to the shunt/fistula site using a stethoscope, the resident indicated that "the nurses at the facility did not feel or listen her shunt/fistula, they just replace Steri-Strips to the site after excessive bleeding [… and] could not recall a time when her shunt site had been assess, with touch (feeling for thrill) and listening (using a stethoscope to hear bruit) by a nurse at the facility.
The state surveyor conducted a 11/17/2015 interview with an LPN in charge of providing treatment to the resident who admitted "she missed the important information in the skin check and did not implement the order in the MARs or TARs.
Our Aurora, Colorado nursing home neglect attorneys recognize that any failure to provide a minimal standard of care that jeopardizes the health and well-being of the resident might be considered mistreatment or negligence. In addition, the deficient practice of not following established protocols violates both federal and state regulations.

Failure to Provide Residents an Environment Free of Resident to Resident Abuse
Failure to Investigate an Injury of Unknown Origin
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 04/01/2015, a state surveyor made a notation during an annual licensure and certification survey concerning the facility's failure to thoroughly investigate an incident for one resident at the facility found in bed by facility staff with unexplained injuries." The deficient practice was noted because the "injury was not observed and [the resident] had expressed fear of her roommate on the day prior to and the night that injuries occurred. The facility's investigation did not address or rule out the possibility of resident to resident abuse."
A review of nurse's notes documented 12/29/2014 as a late night entry indicates that a resident sharing a room with a roommate revealed that she was "very scared of her, she might kick my a(–). The nurse documented she assured the resident she would be safe at the facility and asked the resident if her roommate had pushed her or hit her or try to do so, and the resident answered, no she has not but she might any minute." When the night CNA performed room checks "between 3:30 and 4:30 AM, [he] heard a resident calling, Help me, Help me. The CNA documented he ran into the resident's room to check what was going on. He charted he saw the resident in her bed crying, asking for help and she kept saying, please get that lady out of this room, resident was talking about her roommate next to her."
"The investigation conclusion read Resident stated she fell (first outside, then in her room). No staff reported resident on the floor. It is unsure if the resident got herself back into bed after the reported fall. Resident's first complaint of right leg pain was when she was in bed. There was no managers action documented. There was no evidence documented in the current/incident report or the investigation of an unknown injury, that the facility investigated the injuries of unknown origin as potential resident to resident abuse despite [the resident] expressing fear toward her roommate.
Our Denver/Thornton Colorado nursing home abuse attorneys recognize that any failure to properly investigate any act or allegation of abuse is in direct violation with state and federal regulations and might be considered negligence or mistreatment of the resident. Additionally, failing to investigate an injury of unknown origin directly violates the established protocols and procedures adopted by the facility.The Warning Signs and Symptoms of the Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and assisted-living facilities must provide every resident the highest quality care in a safe environment. Our Denver Colorado nursing home attorneys have handled many cases involving residents becoming victims by their caregivers or others residing or visiting the nursing home.
If you serve as your loved one's advocate to ensure they are receiving the best quality care it is crucial to understand the warning signs and symptoms of neglect and abuse that are often overlooked by doctors, friends and family members. Some warning signs include:
- Limited Mobility – The nursing staff and physical therapist must ensure that your loved one is receiving proper exercise. Without continual mobility, your loved one can quickly lose their quality of life and complicate any existing health issues and medical conditions.
- Bedsores Acquired after Admittance – The development of a bedsore (pressure sore; decubitus ulcer; pressure ulcer) is easily preventable if the nursing staff follow specific protocols for individuals requiring assistance with repositioning, turning, mobility or transfers from the bed, toilet or wheelchair. Any bedsore that is allowed to degrade to a stage II, stage III or stage IV condition could place your loved one's life in danger.
- The Spread of Infection – The nursing staff is required to follow specific protocols to control infections including donning gloves, gowns and protective equipment when providing treatment, care or hygiene to residents known to have contagious infections.
- Hazardous Conditions – Many residents in nursing facilities will unexpectedly slip or fall because of a hazardous or unsafe condition that could have been prevented. The facility can become highly dangerous without proper supervision, adequate maintenance and ongoing monitoring of the nursing staff and employees working in the nursing home.
Any indication that your loved one has been abused or neglected will require your immediate intervention. You must notify administrators, supervisors or attorneys who specialize in nursing home advocacy.Hiring an Attorney

"Kamiyubetsu Tulip Fair - Open until early June" - One of the best times and places to see tulips in Hokkaido!
"Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park" is located just an hour and a half drive from the Memanbetsu Airport in the Okhotsk area. It is well known among flower fanatics in Hokkaido as a fantastic spot for enjoying tulip blossoms.
This year it seems that the blossoms will be at their peak near mid to late-May, providing a variety of colors and shapes for visitors to enjoy.
These vast fields contain some 1.2 million tulip plants of 190 varieties, 70 which are brand new this year!
There are so many varieties that as you walk the fields you are sure to be surprised by tulips that you didn't even know existed!
There are many interesting names given to the new varieties, from "Lion King" to "Mickey Mouse," but perhaps the most interesting is the "Zombie" tulip, which has a flower that changes appearance completely as time goes by.
The fields are arranged in a variety of shapes, including the "Heart-Shaped Flower Bed" featured above. This arrangement combines the "Yellow Baby" and "Flight Jaume" tulips inside a natural stone flower bed.
Pictured below is a wonderful collaboration of 20 different types of tulips in a bed of violet Muscari.
You may walk the fields freely or take the "Chupiddo" electric bus on a 12 minute tour of the area.
At the tulip canal sales corner you are allowed to pick any tulip, dig it up, and take it home with you! (One plant is 100 Yen.)

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Serena Williams is officially the GOAT.
While many will agree that claim is nothing new, today (September 3) the tennis super star scored her record-breaking 307th win at the U.S. Open.
During her match today, Williams beat Johanna Larsson, of Sweden, marking yet another Grand Slam win in her insanely impressive career. One more win and the tennis champion will officially have won the highest number of matches regardless of genre. Someone go pop some champagne!
While Williams holds many-a-records throughout her athletic career, today she breaks the women's Open era record previously held by Martina Navratilova. She currently is tied with Roger Federer for the most wins.
Currently, the tennis player is seeking her 23rd major career title, which would also set a new women's Open era record. If she wins this year's U.S. Open, it will be her seventh time winning the annual competition.
Check out some footage from today's history-making match below.
Many congrats to you, Serena!

Team Captain 2018-19
Class Year: 2019
Major: Civil Engineering
Hometown: Scotch Plains, NJ
High School: Seton Hall Prep
Position: Starboard
Height: 6'0
Weight: 185
Ryan McSherry started rowing his freshmen year at Bucknell. In high school he pitched on the varsity baseball team and was the kicker and punter for the varsity football team. He also played what is quite possibly the best position in all of sports; backup quaterback. Rowed in the freshmen 8 for his freshmen year and sat bow seat in the varsity 8 for his sophomore year. After a silver medal at ACRAs he went with the varsity 8 to row at the Henley Royal Regatta. While there he wore bright orange pants for no less than 5 days and received no less than 4 free drinks solely for the pants. As nice as these accomplishments seem he is most proud of the day he was told he had to stroke a novice 8 on port early in his junior fall because "the numbers didn't work out" and was told he "wasn't the biggest problem in the boat." He also stroked the freshmen 8 early in his freshmen spring(Lord knows why) until it was absolutely clear beyond any doubt that he had no idea what he was doing. Despite having a very talented freshmen class the freshmen 8 went on to have an aggressively mediocre year. Then in his sophomore year a boat of misfit lightweight and just barely heavier than lightweight rowers had a passively mediocre year until they pulled a silver medal at the ACRAs literally out of their asses. Hobbies include getting hypothermia at the Knecht Cup(@NYU), nearly sinking at the Knecht Cup, rowing in races decided by a half second or less, and doing a sport that is utterly miserable and has very few if any redeeming qualities(but hey why not, right?).

It all started with the Eiffel Tower
I was just 7 years old when my uncle brought us this small sparkling Eiffel Tower after a trip to Paris. He recounted us his journey and I was already dreaming to discover these incredible landscapes that he showed us through pictures. I spent my childhood imagining what lies beyond my town in U.P and eventually in 2014, I took my first flight to Paris. This travel changed me forever, beyond the clichés, it has opened my eyes to many things… I could never be the same, I was meant to step out…
I travelled to 3 continents, 18+ countries and +100 cities. I am a freelance multimedia/documentary film maker and that allows me to be quite flexible in my assignments and when I am not travelling you'll find me in New Delhi, capital of India.
Out of the box
I always felt kind of « out ». Out of my classroom in school, out of my friend group, out of the society, out of the box. I am often lost in the sky and my dreams take me to exotic places. I have a particular inclination towards the unknown and the mysteries of life ; my eyes see the details and not the whole picture… I soon realised that the business career my parents dreamt for me was not possible. I was an artist and I was meant to capture these incredible moments that life offered me. I started my career as a graphic designer, had the opportunity to develop a multimedia production department, got familiar with video shooting. Added my designing sense to my documentaries and short films while editing, and produce them on different platforms including worldwide media houses and of course my own social media handles.
What you'll find here
Basically photo essays and videos. I go with the thought that indeed « a picture talks a thousand words »,… yes its cliché but its true! Some people like to read some other prefer to watch, I fit amongst the second category. I click everything that strikes me, I like to build my stories through my videos often accompanied by VOs or text, VLOGs (in hindi and english, featuring myself going around and explaining about the place). So concretely you'll find, destination photography and videos. I also did couple of resort/hotel videos reviews. I have explored the wilderness of South Africa, the luminous lantern festival of Taiwan, the romantic streets of Paris, I danced with the Zulu and the Lido de Paris dancers, celebrated Dusherra with the tribal community in Bastar, Chhattisgarh and many more things… I go and report wherever life takes me : I enjoy the moment, and well it does make me happy. And when happiness is here, it shows everywhere. So you too tell me if you felt it.
My equipment
Sony Alpha A7iii, Canon 5d mark iv, 5d mark iii, 7D Mark II, Different Lens, Crane, a DJI osmo mobile 2, a GoPro Hero 5, a tripod & my Iphone 7.

Und Tschüss
following current events in Portugal and Spain where large crowds hit the street against the austerity measures imposed on both our countries you can clearly see by this pic the difference. In Portugal (since 1974 the biggest crowd ever) it was peacefull, Spain...
i would be nice to the hot chick in portugal also;p
The hot chick softened the policeman. But, I could also post an image of a portuguese policeman pushing down the stairs a woman (wasn't attractive) that broke in the barrier, to show you that the policemen are all the same. Generally, they don't think.
Actually, in my opinion, the "spanish people do it better" because they are more active and aware of the robbery and enslavement that the corrupt politicians are doing to the general population, under the orders of the money thirsty júwish corporations like International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve in USA.
dary, there are sooo many remakes of it. but this one is nice yes seen it allready

Unlike many friends and former Nokia colleagues, I have not had the pleasure of fondling a sexy new N9 so this won't be a product review as much as a process and philosophy review. That means something a little less structured than usual and loaded with unabashed opinion, pontificating and ranting.
So buckle up, this should be a ride that would do Tomi Ahonen proud.
We have ignition…
Maemo and MeeGo community advocates didn't begin with high expectations for the Nokia Connection 2011 event in Singapore on June 21. Lacking the presentation pizzazz of Apple or even Microsoft, Nokia has a mixed history with this sort of thing and has too often bombed when it needed to blow something up. So when we were bored with a Symbian Anna demo followed by an even more tiresome spiel on S40, the peanut gallery in a freenode.net IRC webchat augmented Nokia's endless warm-up with the usual locker room antics. CEO Steven Elop had promised a disruption; we were just distracted.
Then Marko Ahtisaari calmly and quietly claimed the stage.
Speculation had run rampant over who would more likely stun us with the allegedly disruptive device, but the consensus had correctly pinned Marko as the man. He sealed the deal by very quickly getting down to business.
A presenter's presenter, the well-spoken Ahtisaari peeled away layers of the slick N9 with the deftness of a professional magician. I can't speak for anyone else but our little web gathering was enthralled. The catcalls and comic relief abruptly ceded to what amounted to geek sexting. That's the magic of what Nokia has pulled off here, with impeccable industrial design and a clever UI just begging to be swiped.
That's also the problem.
The MeeGo Mambo
When Elop announced Nokia's head-scratching new strategy (and I use that last term extremely loosely) back in February of this year, there was the promise of an undescribed MeeGo device to be produced at some point, to be followed by an anticlimactic year-long ramp-down of the project once hailed as Nokia's high-end salvation. Never mind that the N9 isn't running pure MeeGo (but rather a mish-mash of Maemo 6 and MeeGo parts now curiously labeled as MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan). To any end user, it's MeeGo enough.
But the question becomes: why?
Why release something designed to run what is, for Nokia, a dead-end OS? Elop says this otherwise-seductive N9 is intended as a test-bed for future Windows Phone 7 devices. But how many consumers tolerate being tested? Those few who fell in with Nokia's steps 1 through 4 with Maemo can be forgiven for feeling too defeated to step up for number 5. That would make the N9 a profit sink at a time when Nokia's stock (NOK) is severely depressed.
Is this just a stopgap until Windows Phone 7 graces similar Nokia hardware? If so, will enough purchasers succumb in the meantime to this obviously alluring work of art to at least cover its costs?
Conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this, pointing to admittedly mind-boggling statements and steps that, like the pieces from different puzzle sets, do not fit together. One of the more prevailing and extreme speculations is that the N9's strange release is actually a deliberate move by Microsoft-via-Nokia to torpedo the prospects of MeeGo– not just within Nokia's domain, but in toto. The old Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt (FUD) machine grinding up another competitor. I'm resisting this line of thought, but… but…
The Maemo Legacy
Nokia struggled with its last Maemo device, the N900 mobile computer, both in terms of consumer adoption and reliability issues. Can the company afford to repeat that with the N9? And will the life of the typical N9 exceed Nokia's willingness to support it? The track record isn't good there.
It's all… bewildering.
Back to the device unveiling. Again, Elop referred to this little beauty as disruptive. He even went so far as to invoke his favorite word, ecosystem, although the N9 doesn't appear to come with one.
So what could the N9 disrupt? Well, so far it's done a number on the MeeGo and Maemo communities, particularly the latter. maemo.org members are largely polarized on included or excluded features like hardware keyboards, Adobe Flash support and HDMI. Nothing new there. But this is likely the last time the Maemo community could survive a foundation-fracturing device. It's already on shaky ground as legacy Maemo devices and long-standing community leaders run out of steam or just plain run out.
Long Limbs, Thin Ice
Many Maemo/MeeGo fans are looking at the glossy N9 with a glint of hope. Maybe, just maybe goes the logic, success for the N9 could change Elop's mind on MeeGo. Maybe the Linux-based operating system really is a Plan B– one that advances to Plan A under the right circumstances. If Windows Phone 7 falters, and that's a reasonable conjecture based on current sales, what else is Nokia going to do? Stay with Symbian, which it tossed over to Accenture? Elevate S40? I don't think even bringing Qt to S40 could happen fast enough. If the N9 sells out completely, or close enough, will that trigger a slow-down in Nokia's ramp-down? If so, does Nokia have the ready staff for it, or have too many abandoned the wayward ship?
Detractors are saying this is all pointless, that there's no room for MeeGo in a two-horse Android-plus-iOS world. How selective amnesia can be; there wasn't room for them, either, a few years ago when Symbian owned the playing field.
MeeGo could actually succeed with a similar approach to Apple's: highly target a select demographic comprised of, say, fifteen to twenty percent of a given population and please them to no end. But instead of the same demographic, cater to those at the complete opposite end of the open-closed spectrum. In other words, the Maemo/MeeGo crowd in addition to those largely invested in Android because it isn't iOS. Then let Android, WP7, and the rest battle for the middle. Select markets generate higher margins than mass markets, as Nokia has learned the hard way.
Summing Up
I found the Singapore event a crude juxtaposition of a lethargic local (and similar) market address awkwardly combined with a brief, exciting N9 reveal. This was the wrong venue to introduce this device. The better one would have been the MeeGo Conference 2011, which sorely needed it.
Those who read here regularly will expect me to be completely candid, so I won't disappoint. There are aspects of the N9 I don't like. Sealed-in battery, lack of memory card slot, last year's CPU, and a few others. But I'm not the type to lose the forest for the trees. From a big picture perspective, I love the Nokia N9. Yes I drooled over its renderings. Yes I find that uniquely-curved screen to be cool enough to touch. Yes I want one NOW. I will forgive the known shortcomings. Heck, even Engadget likes it.
And as for MeeGo: it still enjoys strong support from Intel and partners. It just needs a high-profile, lust-inducing handset to improve its consumer recognition prospects. The N9 shows it can be done in spades, despite Elop's disputable claims to the contrary.
I fully intend to explore this further. Probably in many directions. Where that goes might well be determined by you readers. I am expecting an interesting mix of comments on this article. Don't disappoint!

It's going to be a long weekend for members of Congress who will be voting on the health care measure. Should it pass, you can look for Constitutional challenges, court fights and states rights battles across the country. This legislation has the potential to do what Watergate and the Clinton Impeachment did: tie up our government for years and stifle it from being able to properly carry out the people's business. Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's Attorney General, told Greta Van Susteren if the bill passes on Sunday, the commonwealth of Virginia will be in court on Monday.
Governor Bob McDonnell last week signed a law making it illegal to mandate that people have to buy health insurance in the commonwealth of Virginia. A number of other states have passed or are in the process of passing legislation that shores up their 10th amendment rights. Sarah Palin told Glenn Beck yesterday that the states will use all legal tools to remind the federal government that there are enumerated powers and limits to what the federal government can do. These legal tools will be the way in which governors can lead their citizens to have their voices heard. She expects Alaska to follow suit with other states in resisting Obamacare.
Defeating Obamacare now is ultimately the answer. While there may be some hope in efforts to repeal it or defeat it in court, expect these to be the least palatable of options considering the long drawn out fight that would occur should Obamacare pass. Not only will this create a Constitutional "crisis," but will severely limit what a successor administration can do in the event Obama loses the 2012 election as they work to undo the damage caused by this legislation. It will also further undermine the already dwindling faith that citizens have in their government.

Mingun temple: An Incomplete Spectacle
The Mingun temple or Mingun Pahtodawgyi is a giant stupa that has not been completed but had been started by King Bodawpaya in the year 1790 as an astrologer had claimed that the king himself would die if the temple was finished. It is believed that the stupa, if completed, would have reached a height of 490 feet.
Very interestingly, the king had arranged for a huge bell cast to be teamed with the building and the bell itself would have weighed a staggering 90 tons. It, in fact stands as the largest ringing bell in the world today. The white Myatheindan or Hsinbyume Pagoda that bears a distinctive architectural style that took after the Mythical Mount Menu is situated just 100 yards from the great stupa and the bell.
Many opine that this structure could have been one of the primary attractions of Southeast Asian tourism had it been completed by the king. Today it stands damaged by several earthquakes that have taken place over the years. So, it's needless to mention that the temple is in desperate need for renovation. Keeping its present condition in view some even fear that temple is not going to see through another decade let alone a century.
One of the drawbacks of this place is perhaps its sellers who are adamant about pursuing visitors from the moment they get down from the boat till the time they actually leave the place. So beware of these few factors and head off for this historic monument while you are in Myanmar!

Hey there, party people! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Andrew and I went on a Catholic Engaged Encounter from Friday evening to Sunday evening. It's basically a premarital counseling retreat held by the Catholic church for soon to be married folks. I'll be writing about our weekend in more detail at a later time, but I can easily say that it was the best, most life changing thing I have ever experienced. Ever.
Anyway, last week I shared my goals for 2015...and then per usual I went MIA. Sigh. Who knew I'd be so busy a few weeks before my wedding?? I plan to make this week crazy productive, so let's get to it! PS: I want those macarons ^ RIGHT NOW. They're from a local coffee shop that Andrew and I love going to. Must make time to go there this week too!
This Weeks Wishes/To-Do List:
1. Workout 3-4 times. I've been meaning to go back to the hot yoga studio I tried a few months ago. They have $9 classes at 6am (wahh) that I really want to make it to because other wise their regular rate is $17 (no thanks).
2. Go to bed earlier. So I can wake up earlier and make it to the $9 yoga classes haha.
3. Get ahead in my blogging work/scheduling. You know, so you don't just have to read about the crap I have to do during the week.
4. Be present during my time with Andrew. I willingly ditched my phone this weekend and I think that helped me focus and appreciate my time a lot more. It's a nice feeling not having that thing near me at all times, so this week I want to really focus on perhaps leaving it alone for a few hours at a time, at least while Andrew and I are together.
5. Make a game plan for the last stretch of wedding things we have to do!
What are your goals for the week?
Linking up with: Melyssa for Weekly Wishes

So you've got a great idea, and you've come up with a proposal that will meet the needs of the people you want to use it. Your work here is done… isn't it?
Well, no – it's not a done deal until you have your invention turned into an adopted practice – that's the real work of innovation. Your proposed change requires a community of people who do things in a particular way to change how they work together – and there's a process to this.
Share, Consider, Trial, Sustain
There are 4 distinct phases in the adoption process that need to happen in order to get your result :
- Share the idea with your collaborators and the target community you want to adopt it.
- Obtain commitment from your community (or its leaders) to consider the change you propose
- Obtain commitment from your community to trial the new process for the first time.
- Obtain commitment from your community to sustain the new practice for its useful life.
This is where many innovations can fall over. You present your innovation and they say "It looks great" – and you think that means they're going to do it. But what they mean is something else – anything from "no way" to "if I had any time I'd try (but I don't)". It's not a yes till you see the change happening – repeatedly.
The Process of Adoption
You've just begin an extended sequence of conversations and negotiations towards the result you want. Your offer will evolve through the process of sharing, considering, trialing and sustaining. So the better you communicate, particularly in listening to your community, the better the results you'll get.
Learn the anatomy of making offers, the art of conversations for commitment and possibility and the confidence to make a stand for the changes you want to see in the world. Build your communications effectiveness and your understanding of innovation and you can make a real contribution to your work and your life.
Explore the conversational skills of innovation adoption in the excellent book "The Innovators Way" by Peter Denning and Robert Dunham.
Explore for new projects and win/win/win opportunities
Create local jobs and restore local ecosystems
Explore your opportunities for more profit, more good and more fun
Explore the opportunity side of sustainability – new technologies, new strategies, new economics

Male suicide prevention charity CALM launches #ChangeThePicture campaign for International Men's Day
Press release • Nov 17, 2017 10:57 GMT
* New campaign showcases real men's stories behind social media stereotypes
* Campaign launch marks International Men's Day, 19 November
* Campaign features 12 men's stories to reflect the 12 men who take their own lives every in the UK
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) has teamed up with digital agency 360i Europe to launch #ChangeThePicture, a campaign aimed at challenging restrictive male stereotypes and launched to mark International Men's Day on 19 November 2017.
CALM is dedicated to preventing male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. Every day in the UK, 12 men on average take their own lives. To reflect this shocking fact, #ChangeThePicture features 12 real men's stories. The campaign shows stereotypically masculine photos posted on social media, then reveals the unexpected and invisible reality behind each image: vulnerability, mental health problems and suicidal feelings.
One of the men featured in #ChangeThePicture is former professional footballer and boxer Leon McKenzie. Now an ambassador for CALM, McKenzie's image shows him celebrating a milestone career goal on the pitch surrounded by adoring fans. His reality behind the image was a different story.
McKenzie explains: "Do you see a man that's happy in this picture? Full of confidence? On top of the world? Actually I was suffering from depression – feeling sad, lonely and empty inside. I was going through so much off the field but I never showed fans, media, team mates or coaching staff the Leon that was suffering."
Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM, commented: "CALM has been working for more than a decade to prevent male suicide. Part of our work is providing immediate support for men in crisis. Another key part is striving to change culture and attitudes so that fewer men get to that point at all. #ChangeThePicture is our chance to look at things differently, and help rid our society of all the pressures men feel to be and act a certain way."
Melissa Ditson, Executive Creative Director of 360i Europe added: "Men's mental health is an issue we care deeply about at 360i. #ChangeThePicture is a hard hitting campaign with an important message that aims to change behaviour. It's a powerful creative idea promoting progressive masculinity and has been rewarding for the team to work on, as has working with CALM."
#ChangeThePicture invites everyone to take a closer look at the man behind the picture and, by doing so, challenge the damaging and unattainable masculine stereotypes we see across social media and beyond.

About #ChangeThePicture
The #ChangeThePicture campaign will stretch across social media, press advertising and outdoor media with over 600 placements donated across the UK.

About CALM
In 2016, 76% of all suicides in the UK were male. Suicide is the single biggest killer of men aged under 45 in the UK (NISRA, GRO, ONS, 2015). Only 55% of men who've experienced depression will tell anyone about it, compared to 67% of women (CALM's Masculinity Audit 2016).
Founded in 2006, the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is an award-winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide. For more information visit thecalmzone.net.

Date of Birth : Feb 24th 1966
American actor and director. He is perhaps best recognized for his role as Caledon Hockley in the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic, and as The Phantom in the 1996 eponymous film based upon the comic book superhero. As of 2007, Zane has appeared in over 50 films and numerous TV-series.
Zane's first screen role was in Back to the Future (1985) playing one of Biff Tannen's friend/henchmen. Zane later reprised the role for the 1989 sequel, Back to the Future II. Later the same year, Zane gained international recognition with the role of psychotic villain Hughie Warriner in the thriller Dead Calm, alongside Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill.
Zane's first starring role was in a 1990 independent film, the low budget science fiction thriller, Megaville. In 1990, he also co-starred in the film Memphis Belle, a film version of a 1944 documentary about a World War II bomber plane. Zane also forayed into television work, and in 1991 he appeared as John Justice Wheeler in several episodes of David Lynch's hit TV-show Twin Peaks. In 1993, he played the Shakespearian actor "Mr. Fabian" in Tombstone .
Although The Phantom was no box office success, Zane achieved success shortly after by playing Caledon Hockley in James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster Titanic, which to this date remains his best known characterization. The role of Kate Winslet's wicked fiance went on to getting him nominated to a MTV Movie Award for "Best Villain" in Titanic, and a Blockbuster Entertainment Award. He was also nominated for a SAG-award.

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
I am excited to introduce a new Spud & Chloë free pattern to you today. Meet Ribbit!
Ribbit is knit up in the fabulous Spud & Chloë Sweater in the Grass #7502 colorway and you only need one skein. The added twist is that inside of the body is a tennis ball! This means that Ribbit bounces when tossed! How fun is that? The bounce is softened because of the knitted enclosure but this makes it even better for indoor play.
The tennis ball inside is optional and you can always simply stuff the body with fiber-fill.
Have fun, Knitters! This is a good one. Plus it is fairly simple in construction. The pattern is a basic skill-builder for beginners and a breeze for all other knitters.
Added later: Please note that to attach the head to the body place a length of yarn or an available end on a yarn needle. Whipstitch the head to the top of the body and pull all ends to the inside and trim.

It's not easy to crawl through the guts of a World War II bomber, but a new virtual reality project from Microsoft and Seattle's Museum of Flight turns it into a snap on a screen.
The Aviation Pavilion Virtual Tour is actually a series of VR tours, highlighting interior views of planes ranging from the B-17F Flying Fortress and the B-29 Superfortress to Boeing's 737 and 747 jets.
"For the first time, visitors – both on site as well as remotely – will be able to 'step inside' the cockpits and interiors of these carefully preserved artifacts through high-fidelity 360-degree virtual tours," the museum says.
There are clickable screen tours that were created from scans with the Matterport 3D Camera. The interface is similar to Google Street View: Click on the vantage point you want to get to, and you're there. You can also use arrow keys to navigate, or zoom out to see the full floor plan or "dollhouse" in a cutaway display.
There's also a score of 360-degree panoramas captured by photographer Lyle Jansma. You can twist and turn your vantage point on a computer screen – or set the imagery into VR mode, optimized for Homido goggles (which happen to be available at the Museum of Flight's store).
The museum's docents and volunteers will be using Microsoft Surface Pro tablets to show off the 3-D imagery, and museumgoers can also peek through Lumia 950 smartphones equipped with VR gear.
Virtual reality has been on the Museum of Flight's agenda for more than a year. At last November's Space Fest, VR developers from Valve showed off a virtual reality environment from Mars, based on imagery from NASA's Curiosity rover and adapted for the HTC Vive system.
The Valve team also put together a VR rendering of the comet currently being studied by the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission.
"The response to the test run was overwhelmingly positive," museum developers reported.
Now a VR rendering of the museum's full-size space shuttle trainer is in the works. So get ready to strap on your goggles and float through the cockpit, even if your bones are too creaky to get through the hatch.
In addition to Microsoft, the museum's partners for the Aviation Pavilion Virtual Tour include Paolo Tosolini and Tosolini Productions LLC, Lyle Jansma and Jansma Design LLC, Matterport and IntuiLab.

Spicer offers fresh apology: 'I've let the president down'
White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Wednesday offered a fresh apology for minimizing the atrocities of Adolf Hitler in his comments on Syria, amid a wave of indignation at home and abroad.
"I made a mistake, there is no other way to say it," Spicer told a forum at the Newseum in Washington, adding that the damage was especially unfortunate because "it's a very holy week for the Christian people and the Jewish people."
Spicer said his gaffe was "painful to myself" and was "disappointing because I think I've let the president down."
Imbert apologises for "riot" statement
Finance Minister Colm Imbert has issued an apology for comments he made last week in reference to a possible increase in fuel prices, that raised the ire of many citizens.
Speaking at an IMF conference last Wednesday, the Minister said: "I increased the price of fuel by 15 percent and then realised that was not enough. I came back again in April and raised it by another 15 percent and I came back again just a few weeks ago and raised it by another 15 percent. They haven't rioted yet,"
Mayor Raymond Tim Kee issues apology for controversial statement

The apology came in the form of a statement from the Mayor's office:

Western Thermal has acquired pipework group Henderson Site Services, Kingspan obtains Brakel Airvent to expand smoke control expertise
Western Thermal and Kingspan have both announced separate acquisitions of specialist building systems manufacturers to offer a broader range of pipework and smoke control solutions respectively.
Western Thermal has obtained Newcastle-based pipework systems provider Henderson Site Services (HSS) in a move designed to expand its construction engineering expertise.
Western thermal said it expects the addition of HSS, which fabricates and installs a broad range of pipework systems, structures and vessels, to complement existing projects it has undertaken for the food processing and petrochemicals sectors, as well as its work on infrastructure projects.
HSS founder Joe Henderson said, "The unified power of Western Thermal plus HSS is a great example of where a combination is greater than the sum of the parts with the enlarged company able to offer pipework, thermal insulation, ducting and fire-stop engineering solutions for any project."
Western Thermal argued that the acquisition was part of a broader growth strategy that has seen it establish operations in Europe, Africa and china.
Both companies have said they provide "multi-disciplined engineering" that encompasses pipework and modularisations, structural and architectural and cryonic insulation functions that will complement the combined business going forward.
Kingspan has meanwhile purchased the Brakel Group. The acquisition will see UK smoke control specialist Brakel Airvent become part of the Kingspan Light + Air division.
Smoke control has been identified as a key consideration behind the acquisition to ensure Kingspan is well placed to help clients ensure they are complying with safety regulations and requirements for the ongoing maintenance of systems to minimise potential dangers.
Brakel Airvent director Charles Hurdman said Kingspan was viewed as a perfect partner to help the company realise long-term growth aims due to its understanding of construction and maintenance services.
Mr Hurdman said, "From our existing clients' point of view, it's very much a case of 'business as usual'. We'll continue doing what we do well, which is helping our customers ensure their legal compliance and that their buildings are safe and healthy places in which to live and work.
"We're looking forward to embracing the obvious synergy of our two brands and ensuring that we continue to be at the very cutting edge of smoke control system maintenance and design."
No cost details of either acquisition were provided.

From an email:
This morning's 1000 City Manager's update on Hurricane Sandy's observed and projected impacts to Virginia Beach remain reasonably consistent with our last two updates.
Our most significant issue remains tidal stacking within the Lynnhaven and Elizabeth River basins creating a high risk for low level residential flooding. This morning's high tide within the Lynnhaven was as predicted @ 2 -2 ½ feet above normal. We observed road inundation in many of the waterfront low lying areas within the Lynnhaven and Rudee basins. We will be closely monitoring the endangered neighborhoods and we are continuing our use of Reverse 911 VB Alert system to notify residents of the risk in those specific neighborhoods. The results of these efforts are being posted on our Hurricane Sandy webpage. Staff continues developing Sandy specific inundation maps to better identify impacts. The number of above high/low tide cycles stacking within the Lynnhaven, Elizabeth and Rudee basin leads us to project that properties whose elevation is below 6 feet above sea level are at great risk to tidal inundation. We remain confident the Historical Tidal & Surge Chart is projecting where Sandy's high tide elevations above Mean Low Water Level will be in relation to our previous storms. This additional information is being posted on our VBgov website.
Sustained wind projections have increased slightly but still will not reach hurricane force and sustained tropical force winds (39-74mph) may be reached. We do however anticipate tropical force gusts that may occasionally reach 60 mph. As the storm remains offshore and is hooking around VB we will begin to experience consistent wind this afternoon. The extended severity of this nor'eastercane will set in early this afternoon and remain consistent thru tomorrow afternoon. Dom Power reported customer outages has grown to 2500.
Storm surge poses our third threat. Atlantic wave height projection has grown to +15 feet; Bay wave height has grown to 9 feet. Beach erosion will definitely be significant. This morning's waves on high tide lapped at the base of the Grommet Park berm.
Rain is our 4th threat. Some areas of the City may receive up to 7 inches. This is a slight increase in the projection. Surface ponding will occur as runoff will be hindered due to elevated levels of the Lynnhaven, Elizabeth and North Landing Rivers. Back Bay is seeing significant low levels based on the northerly winds pushing the water south and out to the Currituck. Storm water crews are responding to ponding issues. The police are bringing in additional assets to assist in high water traffic control. We are working on a reporting tool to post this data on the Hurricane Sandy webpage
Duration of Sandy continues to make this storm a significant event. Weather conditions continue to deteriorate and stretch into the new work week. The most intense period of the storm has lengthened and is projected to be Sunday afternoon thru Tuesday early morning. During this intense period will see sustained winds just touching the threshold for tropical storms.
Decisions made at this morning's meeting:
· The Birdneck ES shelter opened on time this morning at 10AM.
· The EOC will operate under a partial activation effective 1200 (noon) today.
· City services and staffing will operate under essential conditions beginning 0600 Monday until further notice.
· VB Public Schools have just notified the EOC they will be closed Monday.
· The next City Manager staff update is 5PM today.
Will keep you advised. Dave
Emphasis ours.
Boat Ramp high tide #1 this morning.

As some of you might have noticed, I have not had (m)any reasons to write updates about the project/bankroll in the past weeks. This is mainly due to stuff that has become quite important to me compared to months ago and that I did not expect to move into my focus that quick and early. It results in less time playing live and/or online, but does not affect my situation moneywise. I know, this sounds a little tricky, but I do not want to post more details about the above mentioned "stuff", because of rather private reasons.
In the meantime the WPT Ireland 2012 qualifiers are pretty much the only shots I am taking right now. Still I am playing the daily $44+4 qualifiers for the weekly finale only if I am able to play it at least three times in that week to generate a small return in case I qualify multiple times for the finale.

Today I had too much time on my hands and this is the result, dressed up bottles.
I like these bottles because they have a waist so whatever you tie around it, will stay in place.
The big bottle is a sample I made for a local wedding, the order was for 12 bottles.
At weddings here it is custom to offer oil based perfumes to the guests and the bottle gets passed from table to table to the ladies, it is a ladies only event.
Men will have their dinner in another place, however later in the evening the groom and father will come to the ladies only event to sit with the bride.
I have been to many local weddings and the one is more splendid than the next.
The lace underneath and the silk top material is quite bulky, next time I will use thinner material so the waist will show better.
I think you have seen enough of these bottles for now...
Here is a peek into my wardrobe.
On Monday I will wear the pink one and the blue one I shall wear on Saturday when I visit Mr. Darcy.
New lace I found together with that lovely cotton material, made into a lavender sachet.
Don't you just love my clock? and it still works.

Waking with one thought
too similar to, "Oh no,"
I realize I've committed
to Camp NaNoWriMo.
A mountain's worth of words
awaiting my invention
an insane amount of work
requiring my attention.
It's a labor of love
where I love the insanity,
it's the fingers flying
while I forget to eat.
Okay, it's just one thought,
one word, and one scene,
and then another and another
until I'm screaming—with glee.
No worries, it's just a novel,
another climb, another charge.
Sure, don't mind the look in my eyes
saying, "Beware, Manic Writer at Large."
