Contest Helps Young French Entrepreneurs in U.S.
The 2011 edition of the French-American Entrepreneurship Award, an annual contest which aims at helping young French professionals to start companies in the U.S., opened its application process this week.
Supported since its creation in 2008 by Mr. François Delattre, then Consul General of France in New York and now Ambassador of France in the United States, this contest is an initiative of the Club 600, a group of French entrepreneurs founded in 1985 and based in New York. This year, the contest is co-organized by The French-American Chamber of Commerce (FACC) of New York, which has since 1896 promoted commercial relations between France and the United States.
The winner of the French-American Entrepreneurship Award will receive a cash prize of $10,000, a 12-month coaching package comprised of strategic, legal, accounting, and financial advice from a project team of relevant business and industry leaders, and complimentary one‐year memberships in the FACC and Club 600.
"Today's economic climate continues to be incredibly challenging for new ventures, but we believe that success is nonetheless possible, as evidenced by our previous years' winners," says Emmanuel Cargill, Award Committee Chair and Club 600 member." We created this program to provide encouragement to a new generation of entrepreneurs."
To apply, entrepreneurs must submit business plans for review by a panel of Club 600 and FACC members with expertise across a variety of business disciplines and industries. To be eligible to participate in the competition, proposed projects must be in a pre‐launch or start-up phase; for profit; operating in and for the U.S. market; and led by a French entrepreneur under the age of 35.
The 2011 French-American Entrepreneur Award will be announced on February 6, 2012, during a ceremony at the Consulate General of France in New York.
Applications must be submitted by December 31, 2011. Submission guidelines and more information about the award are available at www.faea‐us.com.

Communication equipment operators typically work at switchboards for a wide variety of different businesses including business support services, answering services, hospitals or employment services. They may operate PBX or private branch exchange switchboards or voiceover Internet protocol switchboards, also known as VoIP switchboards in order to relay outgoing, interoffice or incoming calls.
Communication Equipment Job Responsibilities
In addition, they may be responsible for handling clerical tasks such as taking messages, supplying information or announcing the presence of visitors. In some cases communication equipment operators may also be employed as telephone operators, helping customers to make telephone calls. While most telephone calls are automatically connected, in some instances callers may require the help of an operator. Central office operators may assist customers in completing long-distance and local telephone calls. Directory assistance operators are responsible for providing customers with area codes, telephone numbers and other information.
Whenever a caller dial "0" they typically reach what is known as a central office operator. Such operators commonly work for a telephone company. Their jobs tasks have commonly become automated. For instance, a caller might make a collect, credit card or international telephone call without help from a central office operator.
A caller might still need the help of a central office operator for a small array of tasks such as interrupting a busy line if there is an emergency or placing a person to person call. In the event of a natural disaster such as an earthquake or storm, a central office operator can provide a caller with phone contacts. Other operators may monitor an automated system in which callers place collect calls and intervene if a caller should need help with the system.
A directory assistance operator can provide callers with a wide range of information. Most are employed by telephone companies, although there is an increasing trend for companies that offer business services to employ such operators. Automated systems have taken over many of the tasks that were once handled by directory assistance operators. For example, the system might connect a telephone call or prompt a caller for a listing.
Other types of communication equipment operators include those who operate telegraph equipment, satellite communications equipment and many other types of communication equipment.
The employment of operators is anticipated to decline through the year 2012. This decline is mainly due to the implementation of communications technologies that will save in labor as well as the transition of many jobs to other countries and the consolidation of jobs to a smaller number of locations. The introduction of new communications technologies will continue to have a strong impact on the demand for operators. This is particularly true for voice recognition systems that make it possible for automated systems to assist customers. The demand for directory assistance operators has been reduced by the implementation and use of Internet directory assistance services. Local telephone companies do still currently offer the most reliable directory information, but Internet services have increasingly begun to offer information that includes maps as well as addresses along with telephone numbers. The demand for telephone operators will continue to be reduced as the varying functions of computers and telephones converge.*
*According to the BLS, http://www.bls.gov/oco/
Telephone operators may work a standard 40 hour work week; however, they may need to work evenings or weekends in order to meet the round the clock needs of this business. This is particularly true of operators who are employed by telephone companies or business or answering services that are open seven days a week and 24 hours per day.
Communication Equipment Operator Training and Education Requirements
Most communication equipment operators receive necessary training while they are on the job. Entry-level operators at telecommunications companies may receive a combination of instruction on the job and classroom instruction. This training may last for several weeks. In small companies, operators often receive training that is less formal and shorter. In this case operators may work with experienced operators who offer hands on training and instruction. New employees typically receive instruction that includes company policies, customer service and equipment procedures. A high school diploma is commonly required to be hired as an operator. It is important for candidates to have good hearing, clear speech and strong spelling, math and reading skills. Typing and computer literacy skills are also important to this job. In addition, it has become increasingly important for operators to be familiar with a foreign language. Candidates may need to take an exam that covers basic math and language skills to be hired.
Communication equipment operators may be able to advance to positions with higher levels of responsibility after they achieve experience.
Communication Equipment Operator Salary and Wages
In 2002 the median earnings for switchboard operators were $10.19 per hour. This included answering service operators. Operators employed in hospital and physician offices tend to earn more per hour than those employed in business support services.*
*According to the BLS, http://www.bls.gov/oco/
Communication Equipment Operator Certifications
Certification is typically not required for this occupation.
Communication Equipment Operator Professional Associations
Operators who are employed at telephone companies may be members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers or the Communications Workers of America.

Hi everyone, my name is Carolyn Campbell. I am a proud CSUF alum. Thanks for stopping by the site! As a resident of Brea for 20 years and an independent contractor, I created Beautiful Brea Old & New (BBON) Facebook in mid June of 2010 using my public relations and marketing skills to unite and promote the city of Brea. With the explosion of social networking sites, it filled a much-needed niche in attracting attention to Brea, a charming Northern Orange County destination for shopping, dining and entertainment.
We began with a grassroots approach to development in reporting "All things Brea" and continue in that direction, thankful for the many people who volunteered their time to create videos and stories for BBON-- showcasing Brea's rich history focusing on the city's people and places.
Further raising community awareness in 2012, we changed our logo to reflect Brea's upcoming 100-year anniversary in 2017.
And then in February 2015, we started a historic campaign showcasing our version of Brea's iconic "Charlie's Clock" renaming it Charlie the Clock to appeal to everyone. Illustrator Background Artist Heather Ashlyn Collins, a recent CSUF and BOHS grad, was contracted to draw an animated version of the clock.
"Charlie the Clock" caricature cutout was successfully featured at Edwards Stadium 10 West, for the "Face of Brea" Photo Contest, celebrating Brea's 98th birthday. "It was a hit," said Stephen Moehle, GM at the theater. Gaining popularity, "Charlie the Clock" continued to make the rounds throughout the year, appearing at BOUSD schools and city events, and was on display at our Brea Museum and Historical Society.
And of course, team BBON will continue to keep you informed about community happenings emphasizing the "old" and "new" aspects of beautiful Brea. Our BBON crew consists of Susan Gaede (or as we locals call her, "Newsy Suzie"), columnist for the Orange County Register Star Progress, and the Johnnie Sisters, Christine-Marie and Carly, who starred in BBON videos, and continue to help us on Brea Old and New Instagram. In addition, we look forward to adding new team members to promote "All Things Brea"!
And last but not least, we love gift giving and everybody loves a giveaway, right? So keep an eye out as we'll continue to hold year-round contests on BBON Facebook and also BBON Instagram.
Please enjoy our community website created just for you! Always stay tuned for further developments, as we have a lot of creative ideas to add unique flair in representing our beautiful city, Brea: "big city' appeal with a 'small town' feel."
A Peek of What's to Come: We're very excited to report that we are in the midst of producing our city's 1st children's book to celebrate 100 years in Brea in 2017! The nonfictional children's history book will feature Brea's historic iconic Charlie's Clock in a time traveling adventure! And if you are reading this, you probably heard by now that Teresa Hampson author of Brea: Celebrating 75 Years is our writer. Charlie the Clock's artist Heather Ashlyn Collins we'll be illustrating the book! Whoohoo! It will be a creative blend of whimsy and educational narrative content featuring many children from our community. It's all very exhilarating as there are creative subprojects, too! Check out Charlie the Rockin' Clock in Brea History's Biggest Hits! to read all about the once-in-a-lifetime community-oriented project!
Susan has also been the recipient of many awards along the way, including the Honorary Service Award from Fanning Elementary School PTA and the Outstanding Media Contributions Award from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Orange County Chapter. Susan also served on the Brea-La Habra Newcomers Club. Special to her heart is the time she spent as chairman of City of Brea POW-MIA effort. To this end she involved the entire town in a swimathon, a walkathon, a letter-writing campaign, and a POW-MIA bracelet fundraiser for the city's adopted POW-MIA, Captain Stephen Hanson. Susan also organized the dedication of Brea Olinda High School in Captain Hanson's honor with the assistance of Congressman John Schmidt, School Board President Rex Gaede, Principal Gary Goff, and Patrick Wayne, who was the emissary for his father John Wayne. She also commissioned a painting depicting Hanson and his plight by her neighbor, 18-year-old James Cameron (of special note…Cameron went on to become one of the most successful film directors of our time). Susan was also recognized for her POW-MIA work by the television show Girl In My Life. The show's host called her from the audience on national television and surprised her with a trip to Hawaii as a thank you for her efforts.
Susan was recognized by the American Association of University Women-Brea/La Habra chapter as Woman of the Year in 2006, and she was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the La Habra Chamber of Commerce in 2010.
The Johnnie Girls are officially unleashed on Brea! Christine, 11, and Carly, 8, have spent their short and important lives training in drama, voice, softball, drums, and too many other things to fit in one little sentence. They've gone on to light up the town with appearances in a long list of productions at the Curtis Theatre and the Brea Community Center. Too young to rest on their laurels and hardly able to confine their burgeoning talent to the small stage, in 2011 they made their film debut in Michael Asplund's "The Tribe." Now, they've made the logical career choice and come to BBON as our own personal kid reporters. They'll use their talent, wits, and confounding youthful energy to get the scoop, Brea, and they'll deliver to you in a tiny, adorable package.

While male-pattern baldness is the biggest factor behind hair loss among men, poor lifestyle choices can also contribute to thinning or balding hair. Like the rest of your body, hair requires certain nutrients to grow at a healthy pace. Lloyd Pharmacy recently depicted three lifestyle choices that contribute to hair loss among men in a helpful infographic. At Vinci Hair Clinic, we encourage our clients to pursue the best life possible, and this includes making healthy choices that provide your body with sufficient nutrients for promoting healthy hair growth.
The first lifestyle factor that might be causing your hair loss is a poor diet. Sudden fluctuations in weight, insufficient iron levels, or inadequate protein intake can all cause you to shed hair. Make sure that you're eating a balanced diet that includes protein, iron, zinc, and biotin. Lloyd Pharmacy recommends increasing your intake of legumes to ensure that your body has all the micronutrients it needs to support healthy hair growth.
The levels of stress and anxiety in your daily life are another lifestyle factor that contributes to the health of your hair. Telogen effluvium is a hair loss condition caused by intense physical or emotional stress. While male-pattern baldness causes a slowly receding hairline, telogen effluvium causes sudden, widespread thinning. If you're experiencing stress-induced hair loss, removing the source of stress from your life is the most efficient way to recover. Consider reducing your workload, visiting a therapist, meditating, or regularly exercising to manage your stress levels.
The final lifestyle factor that might contribute to your hair loss is how you choose to wear your hair. According to Lloyd Pharmacy, tight braids, man buns, and cornrows can all damage your scalp. If your hairstyle damages your roots, then the hair loss could be permanent. Make sure that your hair is not too tight and take care of your scalp by regularly moisturizing.
At Vinci Hair Clinic, we are dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyle choices. We offer hair transplant surgeries and scalp micropigmentation procedures so that victims of hair loss can regain the emotional health and vitality stolen from them by hair loss. Contact us today to begin your hair regrowth journey.

Embracing Fear
What strikes me about Levine's "Ruling the Empire" and Gikandi's "Picasso, Africa, and the Schemata of Difference" is the fear of natives and their possible influence on the West. Fear of the alleged savagery and lack of civilization of these "lesser peoples" (Levine 105) form part of the basis for the West's civilizing missions. Even then, fears still exist: that of "contamination" (Levine 107) when colonizers marry colonized women. This fear is similar to the "anxiety of African influence" (Gikandi 458); the need to play down any direct association between Picasso's works and tribal objects. The African is seen as the Other, everything the civilized West is not. To suggest an African influence on the West would then mean a threat to the civilized West and what it stands for. However, where fear becomes a reason to reject the African, Picasso then embraces it, producing his own version of the unmodern, presenting, representing, and re-presenting the African/ African culture's influence on his art.
Crisis of Representation
The link between modernism and empire, of fear and actions to quell that fear, is exemplified in Levine's article. When we speak of modernism and form, Picasso's works playing on the idea of perspective and complicating the meaning of things compels me to recall Auerbach's discussion of how different peoples' consciousness in Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse gives different perceptions of the "real" Mrs Ramsay.
We are thus confronted with a crisis of representation, of having to deal with fear and re-presenting it in a different form.

BC: Works Cited "Medieval Clothing." Medieval Life. 2000. Web. 03 Nov. 2011.
FC: The Life of the Royalty............They Always Get What they Want. | By: Rosa Amato and Alexandra Roehr
1: Copyright:2011 | Publisher(s): Rosa Amato and Alex Roehr | Life of The Royalty. | Written By: Rosa Amato and Alex Roehr.
2: Lords, Ladies, and The Children
3: Lords | The castle was home to the lord. Kings and great lords, who had several castles and houses, would appoint officials called a castellan to run the castle in their absence. A personal item a lord would usually have is his own cutlery, which might be kept in a leather case. Greyhounds were valued hunting companions. The kings or lords were sacred.
4: The most important women in the castle was the lady, or wife of the lord. High-ranking women had their own ladies-in-waiting to attend them, and there were also female servants. Women of all classes learned how to spin, weave, and sew. Some ladies of rank were skilled at embroidering in gold and silver threads. | Ladies
5: The Children | At about the age of 7 the boy would be sent to a castle, often a relative, to become a man with great power. After 7 years he would begin to train. He might even become knighted at age 21. A girl would also be sent to the castle. She would have to be taught how to sew, homemake things, also how to behave correctly. Most importantly in front of a gentlemen.
6: Roles and Responsibilities of the Lords and Ladies
7: Lords and Ladies had many responsibilities. For the lords, they had to mainly manage and defend his land, also the people who work on it. They were the "bosses" of the kingdom. The ladies had many responsibilities too. They were responsible for raising and training their own children. They were also cooks, servants, artists, craftspeople, and grooms.
8: Fashion of the Royalty
9: Lords Clothing: | Men in the castle would wear very high upper class clothing. Men would wear a collar with a badge. The outfit might have a necklace with a pendant. The outer wear would have bagpipe sleeves, a belt carrying a purse, a velvet gown, and a woolen hose. Also to put the outfit together the man would where pointed leather shoes.
10: Ladies Clothing: | Ladies wore a padded roll over net on there head. On the outside they would wear a plackart and a kirtle. The outfit might even have tight fitting sleeves. The outfit would also have a sideless surcoat. The shoes the ladies would wear were hard sole shoes. They had a wooden bottom with straps.
11: What you wore depended on who you were in medieval times. If you were rich you would probably have a variety of clothes, in the latest styles and colors. If you were a poor peasant you would own maybe one tunic. Although it was possible to obtain skills and other luxurious materials from abroad, they were very expensive. Most clothing therefore was made out of wool. This meant clothing in the medieval period was itchy, difficult to wash and dry, and very hot in the summer. | Overview on What Everybody Wore:
12: Medieval Clothing
13: Poor and Rich.

KSC Education Consulting provides comprehensive and integrated development, advancement, and project management services to Montessori schools, independent and public, that are in the process of capital expansion, program growth, and curricular / structural refinement. The process includes capital campaign design and oversight, facilities development coordination, and general administrative, faculty, board, and curricular support.
Growth is an intrinsic and adaptive part of a Montessori school's nature. Properly facilitated, it's a timely, healthy and dynamic process. Growth can be philosophical, pedagogical, or physical in its impetus. It can be inspired by the need for professional development, a new classroom or program, or to deepen values and mission. The key is for growth to result from a proactive and thoughtful process. We guide schools successfully toward and through these necessary changes.

There is a new paradigm in beginning reading instruction based on 30 years of research. Montessori led the way. However, there are steps most Montessori schools are not yet utilizing to the maximum benefit of their children. We can help you add the important steps your current Montessori reading program may be lacking, such as hands-on phonemic awareness before the introduction of letters, reinforcement of letter recognition beyond the tried and true sandpaper letters and the direct application of the sub-skills of phonemic awareness to word building and word reading. We also examine the key elements of whole language that enrich the Montessori classroom.
Mary Ellen Maunz has been a Montessorian since 1972, teacher trainer since 1980, national and international speaker, MACTE Commissioner and Board member for seven years. She now offers workshops and consults with schools who wish to stay current with the new understanding of how children learn to read and include Montessori materials especially designed and classroom tested for over 20 years to fill in these important areas in early reading.

For PRESCHOOLERS to enhance their LEARNING SKILLS through FUN computer SOFTWARE
Are you interested in offering Montessori preschoolers an opportunity to develop their budding skills while using a computer? Let me introduce you to Kids at Computers. It is a great way to offer lessons on a computer without incurring equipment costs and being concerned about teacher resources, security, or updates to hardware and software. The Kids at Computer learning station travels with a teacher to your location. As a mother of two young Montessori children, I appreciate the curiosity of children. I like to capture this awe as children discover skills through computer use. The computer and software is brought directly to the Montessori preschool. Lesson plans have been prepared in advance, and the teacher leads small groups through the activity. Hands-on time follows. Each session is 40 minutes in length, with a standard frequency of twice a month. There are minimal requirements to set up the computer learning station, and low administration effort. The cost is borne by the parents and is paid directly to Kids at Computers.

In cities around the world, frantic traders and brokers are buying and selling parts of companies, various currencies, golden commodities and much more besides. Fantastic amounts of money are shuttled to and from their accounts, and they either go home with a new Porsche or, on a bad day, get a lift home in someone else's.
Has anyone ever traded a Tendulkar or a Sehwag though? What about an Andre Nel, an Andrew Flintoff or a Shoaib Akh…well, no, let's be realistic. The dream, or nightmare, is now a reality with the Cricket Stock Exchange – cleverly shortened to CrickStock – opening its doors, or virtual vaults.
Users of CricStock start with Ç 10,00,000 of virtual cash (Ç stands for CricStock Rupees) which they could invest either in the IPOs floated on a regular basis or play around with it in the secondary market.
In an IPO, a specific number of a set of player-stocks are put up for grabs and users are allowed to bid as many number of shares as possible (limited by the cash they have of course) at a price within the designated price band. Once the deadline for the bidding period is over, allocations are done, and the allotted shares of the player-stocks appear in the users' portfolio. These shares are now available for trading in the secondary market.

(I would've liked to post this sooner by the way, though unfortunately I've been a bit ill. Feel free to send cards and grapes.)
On Saturday I ventured over to Aston University's union for some vintage shopping. As a BCU student, I felt a bit like I was on enemy soil- hence me not asking anyone where the union actually was and subsequently getting a little lost (even though I've been there before!).
There was also a little simmering resentment at how pretty the Aston campus is. It's build around a gorgeous lake (well, not a lake, somewhere between that and a pond) complete with little duckies. Aww.
This was the first vintage fair I've been to under the 'Judy' brand. I find this rather confusing as the web domain is 'vintage fair' which I thought was the 'other' big one, usually held in the Custard Factory when comes round to Birmingham.
Anyway, same brand or not, I instantly sensed that this fair was a little different.
The first thing that struck me was how big it was! It was easily as big as the one held at the Custard Factory and not nearly as busy. There's nothing like being shoved and squashed by other stressed, sweaty shoppers to wind me up.
The thing I liked about this fair was the variety of stuff on sale. One thing I loved were the stands holding baskets of old watches, hairpins, toys, charms, keyrings, earrings... I could go on. These were cluttered together by signs reading, 'everything 50p' or £1 in some cases.
If I'd been wearing boots, I would've filled them; despite the undoubtedly painful, barefooted walk home...
I refrained from collecting bags of stuff and managed to walk away with this simple hair comb for 50p
There was a great haberdashery stall too, selling vintage buttons, thread, wool, plus lace and velvet trim.
There were also a couple of stalls selling old postcards, maps and photos very cheaply. I'd have loved a few old black and white photos of some beautiful 50s ladies to frame, but couldn't escape the fact that most of the photos were really personal.
I was really chuffed to pick up this 1938 French fashion paper magazine.
|'For the thin women'- rules me out then!
If you see a vintage fair bearing the 'Judy's Affordable' brand, I'd highly recommend going- I was really impressed.
That there Judy, whether fictional or real, sure knows what she's doing- well done!

Donald Trump, who had promised his voters during his campaigns to rid the cabinet of greedy and rich elites is instead filling it with more millionaires and billionaires.
Most of the supporters that rallied behind Trump are in for a shock as the new president elect has done the opposite of what he had promised earlier in his proactive speeches.
On Wednesday, Trump announced Steve Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive who served as his campaign finance chairman, as his choice for treasury secretary and Wilbur Ross, a private equity investor, as his pick for secretary of commerce.
According to Forbes, Ross is ranked 232 as one of the richest people in US with an estimated fortune of 10,476,829,855,000 Ug Shillings ($2.9 Billion).
Mnuchin, his former campaign finance chairman is valued at 144,507,998,000 Ug shillings ( $40 million) which makes one wonder whether all those campaign speeches were just lies.
Todd Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs and is the 66th richest person in America, per Forbes, was named deputy commerce secretary on Wednesday.
Trump isn't holding back and he is definitely making sure the cabinet sits are for those with fat pockets. To know more about the other rich snakes he added to his cabinet check out the story at Yahoo news.

No matter how well planned your shoot, no matter how well organized your equipment, the moment comes when the unexpected presents itself. It may come in the form of unexpected weather, conditions far hotter or cooler then anticipated, or photo subjects that were not planned. In landscape photography a large number of the better photos are serendipitous, with cloud patterns or lighting that could not possibly be anticipated, but can be captured if the timing and equipment is right. In the photo below, serendipity occurred in the form of wine barrels that had been moved outside from the cantina on their way to recycling, but which, while they were there, provided a wonderful photo op.

Where does Microsoft plan to find the perfect (free) actors for its new, crowdsourced "I'm A PC" commercials? Outside an Apple (AAPL) Store, of course! An AppleInsider reader passed along this photo of a Microsoft (MSFT) video kiosk set up in front of an Apple retail store in the U.K.
"It's a friggin booth where you can record your own I'm a PC video," he said. "This is outside the Apple Store, Bullring, Birmingham, England." He added that a trio of Microsoft staffers will be on hand to turn patrons off from the Mac for the next three days.
"This is what desperation looks like," Apple observer John Gruber comments.
But we think this is actually pretty smart: If there's anyone as passionate as Apple-types, it's anti-Apple-types. They go to the mall, too. And there's probably nowhere they'd be as happy to show their passion as in front of an Apple store.

Shetland is far to the north of Britain, as close to the North Pole as parts of Greenland or Alaska. Hardly a gourmet's paradise, you might think. But in fact Shetland offers some fine and very distinctive food and drink.Show More
In crystal-clear coastal waters, Shetland's fishermen catch some of the finest fish you'll ever taste. Closer inshore, mussels grow naturally to a remarkable size. What's more, much of that saltwater bounty is now certified for sustainability.
On the land, Shetland's crofters and farmers tend cattle and sheep, with the unique native Shetland lamb being recognised in the same way as delicacies such as Prosciutto Toscano or Roquefort. There are traditional crops, too, like the Shetland Black potato, perhaps the perfect roaster.
Until recently, much of Shetland's produce was little known outside the islands and islanders themselves may even have taken some of it for granted. That is rapidly changing. Shetland mussels, lamb, beef, smoked salmon and much else are now enjoyed worldwide and, within the islands, there's a refreshing new focus on food that's local.
In recent years, two cheese-makers have become well-established, with an excellent range that goes very well with the legendary local oatcakes. Producers of fine chocolates, fudges and preserves satisfy the sweeter tooth and it can all be washed down with a great range of local beers.
It's a great, high quality menu, featuring food that's been produced with care and integrity in one of the finest, cleanest environments in the world. Enjoy!
On A Taste of Shetland blog we will aim to bring you regular updates, inspiration, information and delicious recipes using Shetland ingredients.Show Less

1. Mount Water Commander
Water Commander should be mounted on the wall next to the sump, or up on the joist above the sump. A mounting clamp is provided in the kit.
Water Commander is normally installed in the horizontal position as shown, but can be mounted in a vertical orientation as well. Water Commander will operate well whether mounted low, close to the floor, or higher up on the wall or attached to the ceiling joist.
2. Municipal Water Supply Needed
Water Commander operates by utilizing your household water pressure as its energy source. Model MG 22 requires a minimum ¾" water supply, which the majority of homes have. If you have a 1" or larger water supply, model MG 36 can be installed in your home.
Tap into your water main and route a pipe to a position next to the input fitting of the Water Commander. Include a standard ball valve on the pipe for shut off. Check your local plumbing code for backflow prevention requirements. Tane Corporation offers various backflow preventers for purchase.
3. Attach Discharge and
Suction Pipes
Each Water Commander model comes equipped with the correct heavy-duty schedule 80 fittings for attaching the PVC discharge and suction pipes, 1 ¼ inch for model MG 22 and 1 ½ inch for model MG 36.
We recommend that Water Commander be installed with an independent discharge pipe (the pipe that leaves the house). While the Water Commander will operate equally well if its discharge pipe is tied into your existing primary pump discharge, a completely separate backup system is always preferable to a backup pump sharing a discharge pipe.
A check valve and intake screen is provided for the suction pipe which runs from the Water Commander to the sump pit. Both the pipes can be turned multiple times if needed to adapt the Water Commander to the space available. Four 90 degree fittings are provided with each Water Commander.
4. Attach Float and
Pressure Tube
The Water Commander float assembly simply snaps onto the suction pipe just above the top of your primary sump pump. No nuts, bolts, or screws needed. Once attached, the main pump valve and the float assembly are attached via a flexible tube which is inserted into the tube fittings and each end. Just push the tube into the fitting, no tools are needed.
5. Test Water Commander
Once your install is complete, open the valve on your water feed to test the pump. Once the municipal water starts flowing to the Water Commander, it will immediately start pumping water from your sump pit. Once the system is pressurized after a few seconds it will automatically shut off.
To test, lift the float ball for two seconds to initiate pumping. After the float is released, the Water Commander will continue to run for 10 to 15 seconds and then shut off. Your basement is now protected from flooding!

Water poured into hospitals. Ambulances were caught up in roiling floodwaters. Medical transport helicopters were grounded by high winds. Houston's world-renowned health care infrastructure found itself battered by Hurricane Harvey, struggling to treat storm victims while becoming a victim itself.
The coming days will inevitably bring more hazards for storm-damaged hospitals and nursing homes, and their patients and staff. The scenes of turmoil across Texas raised the specter of the extreme flooding following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when dozens of hospital and nursing home patients died, and doctors awaiting rescue at one stranded, powerless hospital became so desperate, they intentionally hastened the deaths of their patients.
The response to Harvey, now a tropical storm but still wreaking havoc over the state, promises answers to whether health officials learned lessons from the catastrophe of Katrina when it comes to the medically vulnerable — in particular whether they did enough to prepare for the disaster and to move patients out of its path.
"We've made significant investments," Dr. Umair Shah, executive director of Harris County's public health department, said in a telephone interview on Sunday. "The challenge is until it unfolds there's so many moving pieces and it's never the same as the situations you've previously encountered."
Responders point to dozens of improvements, from better engineered structures to well-practiced cooperation, that are helping protect lives. Still, sometimes even the soundest plans have been foiled.
Water rose in the basement of Ben Taub Hospital, a major county trauma center in the vast Texas Medical Center campus that had spent billions of dollars on flood protections after being devastated in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. Officials announced an evacuation Sunday, but hours later, a hospital spokesman said it had not yet begun because the hospital was surrounded by water and rescuers could not reach its 350 patients. On Monday afternoon, a call went out on local radio for a vendor to provide food for the hospital.
As of Monday afternoon, 10 to 15 other hospitals and various nursing homes, some in rural communities, have also evacuated or begun evacuating since the storm made landfall, said Darrell Pile, chief executive of the Southeast Texas Regional Advisory Council, which established a catastrophic medical operations center in Houston's emergency command center. At one hospital in northwest Houston, CHI St. Luke's Health — the Vintage, patients were transported by airboat to nearby ambulances due to severe flooding from the Cypress Creek. As displaced residents filled the George R. Brown Convention Center, the city sent out a call for licensed health workers to help people with medical needs there.
While some vulnerable hospitals and nursing homes opted to move their patients out of the region in the hours before the storm, Mr. Pile said, others "did not know to necessarily expect this level of chaos." A large coalition of medical providers had drilled and planned regularly for catastrophes, he added, "but honestly, not at this epic level."
Most hospitals in Houston continued operating and they reported that they were doing well. But some, ringed by floodwater, were cut off from patients trying to reach them. Hospital staff members had trouble getting to work as well.
In other parts of the state, Harvey knocked out utilities, forcing hospitals to rely on vulnerable backup systems. The wind and rain were threatening at Citizens Medical Center in Victoria, a city of about 68,000 people roughly 125 miles southwest of Houston, when emergency workers loaded patients onto a mass evacuation ambulance while roads were passable late Saturday night. Amid the stressful scene, one older woman clutched a brown teddy bear while waiting to be taken aboard.
"As much as we want to help our patients, I know we can help them more by getting them to a safer spot," said Dr. Daniel Cano, the hospital's medical director. The hospital's generators did not power air conditioning and when city power switched it back on after a day without, it took hours for the humidity to seep out of the hospital.
Hundreds of patients had remained in Victoria's hospitals during Harvey. But after a power outage and a threat to the running water supply, and with flooding in the area expected to worsen, all were taken to San Antonio and elsewhere across the state, officials said.
Jennifer Schulte, director of marketing for Citizens, said some critically ill patients had been transferred before Harvey made landfall, when a mandatory evacuation of the city was announced a day before. But the short time window meant that 80 other patients could not be moved. "The roadways there were very clogged up," she said. "That would require patients to sit and wait. For some, in their condition, it would not be safe."
That was a lesson etched in memories by Hurricane Rita in 2005. A charter bus with an illegal license caught fire on its way to Dallas from a nursing home near Houston. Oxygen tanks in the luggage bays exploded. Twenty-three people aboard the bus burned to death. In the end, the storm spared Houston.
However, decisions not to shut nursing homes for Hurricane Harvey left some residents in peril. In Dickinson on Sunday, rescuers removed about two dozen people from the La Vita Bella assisted living center. An alarming photograph spread across social media of the center's residents in wheelchairs and lounge chairs, sitting in water to their waists. All survived, officials said.
Ideally, hospitals should not only withstand disasters, but also provide safe haven to those injured in them. As of Monday morning, the fortification of the Texas Medical Center in Houston appeared to have paid off for most of its 23 hospitals. Submarine doors were locked on Saturday afternoon, protecting foundations that had flooded catastrophically after Allison in 2001, knocking out power and forcing emergency patient evacuations.
With ambulance routes flooded, however, potential patients had difficulty reaching the complex. "I've never heard so few sirens as I have in the last few days, which is upsetting," said William McKeon, the center's president and chief executive. "We can be dry and open but if you can't deliver patients to the medical center, that's our biggest concern." For hours on Sunday, he said, the system's eight helicopters could not fly to the center because of high winds and tornado warnings.
"With one of the most devastating hurricanes in Texas, I'm looking out my window now, all the lights are on, the largest medical city in the world is operating today, that's a feat of engineering that is really amazing," Mr. McKeon said late Sunday night.
Law enforcement officials helped identify routes to the hospitals and shared them with emergency medical service agencies. And when water needed to be let out of a reservoir overnight from Sunday to Monday, responders were given advance notice to re-establish a massive staging area for ambulances and medical equipment.
"That kind of coordination and teamwork has prevented some hardships that might have happened in prior years when people were not communicating and were operating in their own little silos," Mr. Pile of the Southeast Texas Regional Advisory Council said.
He and others also said that a new federal rule stemming from Katrina — which requires a wide range of health providers to establish emergency plans — had led to significantly better preparedness among nursing homes.
Federal health officials also analyzed Medicare claims to provide Texas officials with the likely addresses of homebound people who rely on power-dependent ventilators, oxygen concentrators and electric wheelchairs, among other needs. Responders also used the state's voluntary registry to locate them and offer assistance.
Mr. Pile and his colleagues said that organizations and assets funded by the federal hospital preparedness program had boosted their efforts.
President Trump has proposed cutbacks to that program and two other medical preparedness programs overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Those programs helped establish emergency medical task forces that have dispatched ambulances, personnel and equipment from across the state.
Hilary Watt, executive director of the Coastal Bend Regional Advisory Council, also used those federal funds to purchase special sleds and stretchers that allow extremely overweight people to be transported, after she read about the death of one heavy man at a hospital after Katrina when doctors could not figure out how to move him. Ms. Watt spread those stretchers strategically through ambulance services in her region.
As Harvey approached, she called on those ambulance teams. Five patients were moved from Rockport and Aransas Pass in the hours before the storm, likely saving the patients' lives when the hurricane roared ashore there as a Category 4.
"We've definitely learned from the unfortunate outcomes in other areas," Ms. Watt said.

The title of this well respected festival sounds ominous yet on the 3rd and 4th September, the Opera House will insight you with more details. For now, we're giving you the dramatic overview of what to expect so brace yourselves!
The eighth consecutive Festival of Dangerous Ideas (FODI) is a boundary pusher weekend with the who's who of speakers coming in droves around the planet. Knowledge is power and at FODI, you'll be enlightened about low down dirty politics (is there any other type?), vanishing countries and disruptive behavior that affects landscape, the economy and wars. We're not just talking about the mysterious Bilderberg Group but also about how Brexit's knock on effect changes the world, border control damages hope and underlying strengths that are positively impacting a snowball of tumbleweeds.
Our planet is in turbulent times from terrorism, crime, corruption and an abundance of natural disasters. These events affect our culture, ethics, morals, way of thinking and our free will in rising above these… or being sucked into the cyclone. We find this event incredibly interesting because it covers all bases and isn't designed to scare the living daylights out of you. Its focus is to provide the information and open food for thought so you are better informed. Topics are set into a very simple timetable per day, hour slot and subject matter by the expert alongside details about purchasing single or multi tickets.
From a panel about Breaking a Rule a Day, to America coming apart and Apple vs the FBI (that'll be a good one!) to Water Wars. Henry Rollins will also present about Blood Sports while Jesse Bering taps into 'Suicide is Social' and the impact it makes to a three degrees of separation spin-off effect. How about Laura Secor's Dissent in Iran? Or Lev Grossman's There Are No Good Books?
We love that a true hard hitting event is returning to Sydney; a city renowned for free and liberal thinking, solid cultural diversity and intelligent beings who question everything in society. Sydney is ideal for this festival and it attracts thousands in droves to learn, challenge and spread the debate.
The festival will be a pure brain rush and the conversations will be going on long after the weekend is over. So if you want to get your back brain into gear and attend a truly insightful two day mind power, this is the place to be.
The festival will be taxing on the brain so we highly advise you to hop onto a 10 minute ferry ride back to Cremorne Point afterwards, settle back on our balcony and take in the Harbour sunset with a glass of vino in hand. The world will still be turning tomorrow but a crisp chardonnay may be the best informed decision you make when you relax at Cremorne Point Manor. Trust us, we're experts on topics such as Relax, Enjoy and Breathe…


text: Uni form is an exploration into the act of getting dressed. The act of dressing or assemblage of dress is negotiated and explores how personal identity is constructed. My design research contributes to a current understanding of self, dress and social identity. I begin with an analysis of wardrobe as a personal collection and I propose that, in our everyday dress, much of what we choose to wear constitutes a uni form of one sort or another. Focusing on the shirt dress as an 'ordinary' everyday style of generic dress, I set out to experience the wearing of a personal uniform. What emerges from this research is a proposal that a uni form – a metaphoric garment – can meet the needs of everyday life in the postmodern urban metropolis.

My parole board is right around the corner. How did it get here so fast? Have I really been in here that long?
I'm still trying to secure three key documents that a parole packet needs. But even if I do manage to get them, it's hard to be optimistic about parole. I think the parole rate for the USDB is less than five percent. Additionally, I'm in my appeals process which to the parole board means I'm unwilling to accept responsibility for my crime. But if I abandon the appeals process, then any chance I have at getting my verdict overturned is gone.
On top of all my legal issues, I have two final exams to complete to get my MBA. Coming from this bizarre institution, the degree may not mean much to anyone else, but for me, the correspondence courses have helped the last year pass quickly. After I'm done with these two exams, I won't have any schoolwork to keep me busy – I'll have to find something else.

Reblogging this. Barbie is currently battling a recurrence with the bitch that is breast cancer. Thought it would be lovely if everybody sent up a little love<3
[It humbles me and is my deeply felt honor to defer this post to my friend/survivor sister/wounded soldier/and one of the newest SCAR girls, Barbie. I was at Barbie's quite recent SCAR photo shoot. She is one of the three newest young women to be photographed by David Jay for The SCAR Project. By that, I mean UNFORTUNATELY… there are new SCAR photos… which is why we are doing this. The youngest of the 3 was 22. She was diagnosed when she was 21. Barbie was diagnosed WHILE IN AFGHANISTAN. I'm sorry for the all caps but again… this is why we are doing what we are doing. We must end this bitch of a disease. I think SCAR Project LA producer Diana Haye said it best: "Try fighting in Afghanistan, getting diagnosed with breast cancer, having a mastectomy, and then having the guts and fortitude to help raise awareness for…

Oh shit. I used to be on facebook and connected there with Barbie and all the Flat and Fabulous women.. I am a military wife… not a service member myself, but a wife with a husband who has served 0 yrs. I am a breast cancer survivor as well. Hey Barbie – if there is anything we can do to help – even just walking the dog or whatever – or if you ever want to talk – call me. I'm in your area. I respect the hell out of you, my sister.

There's a lot to look forward to as spring comes around each year, but for most people tax season isn't something to look forward to. Although tax season can be exhausting, it doesn't have to catch you off guard. There are things that you can do right now to get prepared and ready for the dreaded tax season—and by doing these things you can make the tax season less dreadful over all!
1. Get your W-2 form. Every company should give their employees a W-2 form around the end of January of each year. This form allows the employee to see his/her total earnings and taxes paid during the previous year. This form is necessary to file taxes; thus, if your employer has not given you this form, you will need to request it. Getting this form before you start filing your taxes will help speed along the process.
2. Do an inventory of all your tax deductions. According to this list of tax preparations there are ways to receive tax reductions for interest paid on mortgage loans, for personal property taxes, and for charitable donations. Before you get started on filing your taxes make sure you've identified all your tax deductions so you don't lose money!
3. Get organized. Don't wait until the last minute to gather all your information. If you haven't stayed organized during the year, don't worry! It will still be better to get all your forms in order before you visit with an accountant. So get organized today and save yourself the extra stress during the tax season!
These are some of the ways that you can get prepared and minimize the stress of tax season! Contact us at Fair, Anderson & Langerman for further questions on how to survive tax season without all the stress!

In order to define the actions most needed to protect Brazil's national fauna, the conservation status of each species must be assessed to identify primary threats, sites of importance for protection, and compatibility with human activities. Such status assessments also provide a basis for the National List of Endangered Species, which, as a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Brazilian government is obligated to maintain.
In October 2009, ICMBio (the Brazilian federal agency for biodiversity conservation) started a process to evaluate the conservation status of Brazil's sea turtles, which was carried out in accordance with IUCN criteria for regional Red List assessments. The process included public consultation through an evaluation form that was published on the ICMBio website and sent to targeted scientific bodies and specialists throughout Brazil. Neca Marcovaldi, national technical coordinator of Projeto TAMAR and MTSG regional vice-chair for the Southwest Atlantic Region, coordinated the review process for sea turtles, and Alexsandro Santos, national manager of SITAMAR (Information System on Marine Turtles), acted as focal point for this process.
The information received through the evaluation form was compiled and used as supporting information for a workshop to develop national Red List assessments for sea turtles. The workshop was attended by members of TAMAR-ICMBio, Fundação Pró Tamar, the coordinator of the Brazilian Red List Assessment (Dr. Monica Peres from the ICMBio Department of Biodiversity), researchers, and experts on sea turtles. The resulting draft assessment was then sent to two anonymous experts in IUCN criteria for validation of this assessment (i.e. "peer review").
The resulting evaluations of marine turtles were chosen as the subject for the first edition of BIO BRAZIL – Brazilian Biodiversity, an ICMBio electronic magazine created for the publication of the assessments. The assessments of the five sea turtle species that occur in Brazil are available through this link.
The main threats that were defined through the Red List assessments are being used to inform the development of a National Action Plan for Sea Turtles that will guide conservation activities and research in the Brazil for the next 5 years. The entire Action Plan is expected to be published in August.

Michael Panzner is a well regarded financial adviser who seems to have better insights than most financial commentators. I've recently finished reading his book, Financial Armageddon, which, written in early 2008, predicted the financial crisis that marked the beginning of the global financial meltdown and our ongoing economic depression. Panzner has written another book, When Giants Fall, which I've yet to read. He maintains two websites, Financial Armageddon, and An Economic Roadmap for the End of the American Era. Both are highly recommended.
In a recent post, Panzner cited a book by Fernando Ferfal Aguirre, titled, The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse, which is based on the actual experience of Argentina over the past 10 years. It's not a Mad Max scenario, but it isn't pretty. You can find a summary at Aguirre's website.
Shorebank in Chicago was closed by regulators last Friday. This bank, which has been prominent for its commitment to the needs of local business and low-income clients, was closed "after Wall Street backers failed to rescue the institution." Over the past 2 years the federal government has lavished hundreds of billions of dollars on major Wall Street institutions while allowing small, local banks to fail. One must wonder why. According to a Reuters report:
"… the [Shorebank] bank, which was put on the ropes when the recession hit its lower-income borrowers especially hard, was unable to secure the funds it was seeking from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, it needed to match private-sector pledges."

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – – Virtual currency manager Jambool announced Monday that it has been purchased by Google for an undisclosed sum.
"When the opportunity arose to join forces with Google… we couldn't pass it up," Vikas Gupta and Reza Hussein, co-founders of the startup, said in a blog post.
Jambool is the company that launched Social Gold virtual transactions technology that processes virtual currencies — make-believe money for online transactions such as games and social networks, including Facebook and MySpace.
The technology allows makers of online games and social networks to mine "real money from virtual goods" — allowing genuine cash to be converted into virtual currency and vice versa.
The company has reported strong growth due to the popularity of online games.
"Our vision is to build world-class products that help developers manage and monetize their virtual economies across the globe," the company said in the online post.
Gupta and Hussein said they started Jambool in 2006 as an online collaboration platform, but shifted focus a year later to building applications for social networks.
"Along with success, we found fun and lucrative ways to monetize our apps — specifically virtual currency and goods," the former Amazon.com employees said.
"That led us to create a platform to help developers create, host, manage and monetize their virtual economies," they wrote.

An Associated Press story reported in Forbes magazine indicates that China has for the past two months been reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasury debt. " The $24 billion decline in China's holdings in June followed a $32.5 billion drop in May. China's holdings had hit a high for this year of $900.2 billion in April." And this was down from their record high holdings of $939.9 billion reached in July 2009.
This seem to confirm my expectation that China would be diversifying its foreign reserve holdings away from dollar denominated securities.
The slack is being taken up by Japan and Britain so the immediate impact on the dollar in foreign exchange markets may continue to be minimal– for a while.
Central banks collude to advance their common objectives, but given the astronomical budget deficits and continued monetization of U.S. government debt by the banking system, it is unlikely that they will continue to support the dollar in the future as they have in the past. At some point, they will allow the dollar to slide into the void as they roll out their new plan for a global reserve currency. –t.h.g.

THE FORGOTTEN ONES Conference
By Anjem Choudary: "The Responsibility Towards Muslim Prisoners"
After praising Allah:
It is an honour to be addressing the subject of the aseer
-- our reference is the Quran and The Sunnah, upon the understanding of the Salaf
-- Allah will test us with our families, wives, children, lives, wealth
-- some of us will lose limbs or our own independence
-- our struggle is a continuation of those who came before us
-- do people think that they say they will be left alone, without being tested
-- we have no Khilafah today, we must rise against the taghoot
-- we have hostages of the struggle : the aseer
-- the pain and the injury is that we have to continue the struggle
-- and we do not forget what they stand for
Alif-Lam-Mim. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test). Al Ankaboot 29:1-3
"I do not care how they kill me as long as I get martyred in the Cause of Allah as a Muslim. I received my death for Allaah's sake. If Allaah so desires, He will bless, the amputated limbs of the torn body." (Last Words of Khubayb Ibn Adee)
It is an obligation to release the Muslim prisoners
--One of the greatest obligations is to release the Muslim captives
Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said (Al-Fatawa 28/635):
Freeing the prisoners is one of the greatest compulsory deeds and spending ransom money and other means towards that, is one of the greatest ways to come close to Allah.
Ibn Qudamah Al-Hanbali said (Al-Mughni 9/228):
It is obligatory to pay the ransom money for the Muslim prisoners, if it is possible.
It is narrated, in Spain (Andalusia) 196 H.
4,000 book in the library in Cordova: in France, they had 50!
An 18 year old girl was taken captive, and took her to the king of Granada
-- they raped her, she called for the governor:
-- the situation is the same as today: the governor heard the cries:
-- Hakm bin Hisham, he said we will destroy every city until we get her
-- he conquered 3 cities taking the booty
-- they didn't even know the name of the woman: they asked about her at a city
-- they asked the king, he said he would never release her,
-- they offered all the booty from 3 cities, he said no over his dead body,
-- and it was over his dead body: they attacked and killed the king.. and took the girl
-- the wife of Hakm said he should marry the girl : the girl accepted ! Allahuakbar!
In Malta they captured a woman: this time we know her name: her name was Fatima
-- She called out, 'Oh Mutasima' - he heard her cries: he ordered to call the adhan
-- he told the people one woman had been captured, they must free her
--they went straight to the stronghold and fought there, on the best horses
--the Khalifa rode at the front: he took with him 70,000 soldiers
-- he told her on the Day of Judgment bear testimony that I freed you!
There was a tribe called Bani Thaqif:
-- they had a relationship with another tribe
-- the Rasool salah Allahu alahye wasalam said
-- take one man from the tribe they had relationship with (as a ransom)
-- they fed and clothed him
-- they treated him well: the man wanted to take Shahadah,
-- the Rasool said we will release you first then you can take Shahadah
-- a woman came to Baqi and asked him to help her to release his son from captivity
-- Baqi made dua, "oh Allah, free this woman's son"
-- the son returned, he said: I was in the chains with all the other captive
-- and the chains fell from my feet
-- they collected us up together, and this happened again and again
-- they realised he must have a mother who was making dua for her son, so they freed him
What we can do for the aseer
1) help with money
2) make awareness of the aseer
-- money : raise awareness : ( you can say at least you did something ) : make dua :
3) make dua
Uemas are taken, they need us to voice out for them
-- when Ahmad ibn Hanbal was taken prisoner: his family came to him,
-- they asked him to do taqiyya (deceive):
-- he replied that he must speak the haqq, or others would not know the haqq
Ibn TAYMIYYAH :: What can my enemies do to me? I have in my breast both my heaven and my garden. If I travel they are with me, never leaving me. Imprisonment for me is a chance to be alone with my Lord. To be killed is martyrdom and to be exiled from my land is a spiritual journey.
-- there was a Mujrim, (criminal) : he said that he never compromised on his baatil
-- so how could Hanbal compromise on his Haqq?
3 things that will benefit you while your in your grave
1) knowledge you passed on
2) sadaqah you gave
3) pious children who make duaa for you
-- the crusaders came to look at the children in Andalusia
-- a boy was firing arrows and he missed one out of ten, the boy cried
-- because he missed one, the crusaders realised they could not defeat them
-- but when they returned some years later they saw the Muslims were arguing
-- and busying themselves with the dunya so then they knew this was time
-- to fight the Muslims: OH MUSLIMS ARE WE BUSY WITH THE DUNYA !!!???

Tiger Woods 12: The Masters
I've been playing this game a lot since it came out on Tuesday and it's pretty incredible. It's the third version of the Tiger Woods series I have purchased and it's the only one I have enjoyed. The graphics are great, the gameplay is challenging (at least it is on the Tour Pro setting I am using), the career mode so far has been addictive, and to be able to play a round at Augusta is just about the coolest thing ever.
I do have one complaint and it's about the downloadable content. For the first time EA has incorporated the downloadable courses into the career mode. That is a great idea for those willing to purchase new courses. However, I noticed that if you skip a tournament that requires a downloadable course the nonplayer characters still play that round and gain points toward the Nationwide Cup while you lose ground to them. Essentially, you are being penalized for not purchasing the downloadable content. I don't know if it's oversight or if it's a strategy to force people to spend more money on the game. Knowing EA, it could be either. It's too bad because there are 16 courses included with the game which is pretty generous. One complaint I have heard is that one of the achievements requires you to purchase DLC. To me, that is a legitimate way to entice you to purchase DLC because it doesn't interfere with the core of the game.
Another minor quibble is the announcers. You would figure that by now with all the years of incorporating announcers into sports games they would get to the point where they aren't just plain bad. Links 2004 had better announcing in the game. At least there was some humor in that announcing. They excelled at condemning with faint praise. There have been a couple of unexpected chuckles so far in this game but mostly I hear the same few phrases over and over. In game announcing doesn't make or break a game for me but this just feels phoned in and it's a little distracting.
Also, I have noticed that the game doesn't take into account whether or not your created golfer is left handed when you check the lie of your ball. When you check your lie you are told if the ball is above or below your feet. If your golfer is left handed the information you are given is the opposite of how the ball is actually situated. If you aren't careful you can compensate for the wrong lie and hit a shot that will go very much the wrong direction.
Another quirk that is more amusing than anything else is the animation after your hit your shot. Your golfer starts walking toward the spot where your shot landed. It doesn't matter what is in front of you. A lake? No problem he's striding confidently toward the water. Whatever obstacle is between your golfer and the ball doesn't matter, he is heading toward it. He doesn't get there, the view shifts to the new lie right after your golfer takes a few steps but, if you are paying attention it can be humorous.

Hi I have done one of these flights using the dove but it was specifically set up as an air-to-air sortie so the experience may not transfer over to what you will get. The windows are not too bad on the dove but you will have difficulty focusing if the spitfire is at a higher or lower altitude.Essentially it's best when you can keep your lens at as flattest angle to the window.Wear Black or the darkest colour you can to avoid reflections in the window. If you have 2 bodies take them ideally one with small Zoom ie 30-70 and the other with 70-200.We experienced the windows misting up so it might be worth having a cloth to wipe your window.
You might consider removing any filters from the lenses as they can scratch the windows and you won't be popular I've attched a link to my gallery for your info

The Bayer Leverkusen head coach, Roger Schmidt, has accepted that he was wrong to defy the referee and refuse orders to go to the stands during Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 victory at the BayArena on Sunday.
Schmidt was angry with a decision by the referee Felix Zwayer during the buildup to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 65th-minute goal.
"We went behind through an irregular goal and I told the fourth official as much. It was clearly a mistake by me. And I wish that the referee could have told me why he was sending me to the stands," said Schmidt. "Maybe that was a bit stubborn of me, so I have hurt my team. I'm sorry. I am a role model and I've not done myself justice, but sometimes it is easy to react in hectic and emotional situations.
"I have the fourth official noting that the kick was executed a thousand per cent irregularly. [The referee] also did not give a thousand per cent penalty and I'm just challenging for justice for my team."
Zwayer has been given the full support of the German FA after his decision to suspend the match for nine minutes. "[The referee] technically made the correct decision after the Dortmund goal," said Herbert Fandel, the German FA's head of the referees. "If a player or even the coach refuses to leave the field after a sending off, the play will be stopped and the threat of a postponement is the right decision."
Schmidt is facing a possible ban.

I wasn't sure if I'd be brave enough to post this, but I really wanted to share my holy grail foundation with you. I went off the acne medication I've been on for almost 20 yrs and my skin has been freaking out over the past few weeks. All the results from my recent laser treatments are gone – booooo! I'm back on the meds (Spironolactone – guess I'm gonna be a lifer), but my skin is still in the process of freakery. So thank GAWD – Urban Decay Cosmetics All Nighter Foundation has saved my butt!
I didn't edit these photos at all (but trust me I wanted to!). No concealer – just Pop Beauty Zero Shine Prime – and then All Nighter foundation (I used shade 3.25 here and shade 4.0 when I have self tanner on) applied with a large Beauty Blender and then added on in a heavier layer on the acne spots with the small e.l.f. beauty sponge (see it here). Not perfect but pretty darn good! It dries slightly darker than it goes on – so remember that if you're trying it on in-store.
I also highly recommend using a pre-cleanse type of oil cleanser to remove the foundation at night (I'm currently switching between Elemis, Dermalogica and It Cosmetics oil and balm cleansers). I follow up with an oil-free cleanser and/or scrub and mask. Do I think this foundation is helping my skin? No. But I don't think it's getting worse – the breakouts are definitely of the hormonal variety. And it covers everything – and doesn't sweat off, so it's kind of my jam right now. It's sort of like matte lipstick, but for your face!
Here's my affiliate link for the Urban Decay All Nighter foundation – please click if you're considering buying it – it helps fund My Beauty Bunny (web hosting is expensive y'all!).
P.S. I really want an iPhone 7 – this front facing camera is so blurry – and I hate taking selfies with my dslr. Sorry for the photo quality!
