Day 313: Carrot & Fruit Oatmeal Slump ♥
What an easy, delicious breakfast!
It's a carrot and fruit non-dairy (and thus vegan) version of the Swiss Muesli oatmeal breakfast featured in my Kitchen Parade column back in December. Over Christmas, my 15-year old nephew Matthew made it for our breakfast several times and took to calling Swiss Muesli "slump." Slump. It's a good name, yes? :-)
I wondered if the carrot might taste plain weird or perhaps a gratuitous addition only for the sake of including a vegetable. But Carrot & Fruit Oatmeal Slup is good, really good; the carrot paired beautifully with pineapple. Hmmm, isn't there an old church-potluck salad with carrots and pineapple, maybe with marshmallows?
"...it tasted WONDERFUL. Can't wait to make it again for breakfast tomorrow morning." ~ JenniferK
RECIPE for CARROT & FRUIT OATMEAL SLUMP
Time to table: 30 minutes (or overnight, like with Swiss Muesli)
Serves 1, easily multiplied
1/4 cup oatmeal (old-fashioned or quick but not instant)
1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
1/2 carrot, grated or julienned
2 tablespoons canned pineapple with juice (about 1/4 an 8-ounce tin, be sure to get the pineapple in its own juice, tidbits or crushed)
A few raisins or currants
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg (my favorite)
Mix all the ingredients and let rest from 30 minutes to several hours, until the juices soak into and moisten the oatmeal and carrots. Serve and enjoy!
PLAYING AROUND Next time, I'll fool around with fresh fruit, perhaps a few nuts. This is a great way to use up odds and ends in the pantry. Could you put this through a blender for an oatmeal smoothie? You bet.
PLAN AHEAD? So here's the thing. Timing's tricky, you might need to experiment with what works for you. At 30 minutes, I find it all a little raw. But after that, the mixture gets increasingly sweeter over time, the, um shall we say? sweet spot time-wise may well be between 4 and 6 hours.
GRATED vs JULIENNED Grated carrots have more surface area so will absorb the liquid more quickly, but to my eyes, the julienned carrots look prettier. Perhaps a mix, grated for mixing with the oats, a few julienned on top?
PINEAPPLE Crushed pineapple has almost the same texture as the end product here, that's fine, but I prefer the texture variation from pineapple tidbits.

TUMBLEWEED SMITH >> Mertzon woman says pet bobcat is 'spoiled rotten'
Tumbleweed Smith
MRT Correspondent
Midland Reporter-Telegram
By Tumbleweed Smith
You can sense the strength in Bobby's front legs and shoulders. The sound he makes comes from way down deep inside and scares away the faint of heart. Even polecats are afraid of Bobby.
Bobby is the pet bobcat belonging to Ramona Werst of Mertzon. When her husband took her to the place that sells bobcats, she chose Bobby because he was so playful.
"When you get a bobcat as a baby and bottle-feed him, he'll bond with you," says Ramona. "He doesn't know he's a bobcat. In fact, he would be a disgrace to bobcats. He's afraid of mice."
I sat down with Ramona and Bobby and we had a nice visit. Ramona says Bobby is spoiled rotten.
"When I was bottle-feeding him, he used to get me up at two o'clock in the morning for his bottle, then do the same thing at four o'clock and six o'clock. Now we have an automatic feeder that comes open for him at two o'clock and six o'clock. He likes that a lot."
She got the bobcat five years ago.
"He was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, just a little bitty baby. Now he weighs around 45 pounds."
The bobcat lives in a fenced in area beneath a second-story deck.
"He's got a ramp that leads directly into our bedroom. He can come and go anytime he wants to. In his space under the deck he's got his own jungle gym, an igloo that's got a blanket in it and all kinds of balls to play with."
When visitors come, Bobby goes away.
"We'll show Bobby to our guests, then lock him up in our bedroom and his pen. We do that just in case he doesn't like a scent. Or he might be hungry."
Bobby has a domestic house cat for a brother. He thinks the pet dog is his mother. He plays fetch with a tennis ball and tug of war with a sock. When he's playing tug of war, he sounds ferocious. His growls would make most people head for the door.
Bobby has a special diet.
"Every three weeks my husband David and I have to chop up raw liver, raw hamburger and cat food and mix it all together and freeze it. Bobby's a little particular. He has to have his food just a little bit frozen."
At night, Bobby sleeps with Ramona in spite of his loud purring. "He sleeps right on top of me from my shoulders to my stomach." She says she's never been afraid.
When he misbehaves, she smacks him on the nose.

This is the most simple holiday treat that even the busiest person can make. Everyone loves chocolate covered pretzels, and I think these are the best because we used Pretzel Crisps. What could be better than a crispy, salty pretzel dipped into a sweet chocolate covering then topped with an array of embellishments? I bagged our treats in cellophane baggies, and tied them off with a pretty holiday ribbon. Don't forget to ask your kids to get in on the fun because they will love making them along side you this holiday season.
2 bags Original Pretzel Crisps
1 package white chocolate almond bark
1 package chocolate flavored almond bark
1 small bag chopped pecans
1- 10 oz bag Andes Peppermint Baking Chips
1- 8oz bag Heath Bits 'O Brickle Toffee
Miniature chocolate chips
Holiday sprinkles
Parchment paper
Melt the almond bark on top of a double boiler or in the microwave over low heat. When the chocolate has melted, stir to make smooth. Dip one side of each pretzel crisp into the melted chocolate and sprinkle with your favorite topping. Lay each dipped pretzel onto the parchment paper to harden.

Easy, Basic Shampoo RecipeWhen you make your own easy shampoo recipe, you won't have any fillers or artificial ingredients. This recipe is just the base for your shampoo. You can add other ingredients to customize your recipe.
What You Need
- 1/4 cup liquid castile soap (or make your own castile soap)
- 1/4 cup distilled water
- 1/2 teaspoon carrier oil like grapeseed oil
- 10-20 drops essential oil, if desired
Directions1. Mix all ingredients in a bottle with a lid.
2. Homemade shampoo will separate, so shake before using.
3. Use a dime-sized amount on your hair to wash as usual. Use more for very long or thick hair.
- For a refreshing shampoo, add 5-10 drops each of peppermint essential oil and tea tree oil.
- For dry hair, decrease oil to 1/4 teaspoon and add 1 teaspoon glycerin. Glycerin will pull moisture from the air to your hair all day, which also helps nourish hair.
- If you have dandruff, add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, six ground cloves, and 3 tablespoons of apple juice. Blend ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth.
- Add a few drops of your favorite fragrance oil to make any scent. Add one drop at a time until you get the scent you want.
Homemade detergent shampoos will not lather as much as commercial shampoos because you do not add a sudsing agent like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Although SLS does add bubbles to your shampoo, it can also cause skin irritation if it is not rinsed well. SLS can break down the cell membrane and enter the body, and it has been known to cause depression, diarrhea, and labored breathing in animal studies. It isn't known if SLS has the same effects on humans, but just to be careful, I make homemade shampoo recipe for my hair.

MONDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that a certain class of drugs used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) boosts the risk that male patients will be unable to urinate.
The disease, which makes breathing difficult due to inflammation and blockage in the body's air passages, affects an estimated 10 percent of people aged 40 and older.
A class of drugs called "inhaled anticholinergic" medications are used to treat the conditions, but there are concerns about their side effects. These drugs include tiotropium (Spiriva), ipratropium bromide (brand name Atrovent) or Combivent, which is ipratropium combined with albuterol.
In the new Canadian study, Dr. Anne Stephenson of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and colleagues examined medical records from people in Ontario, aged 66 and older, who suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Of the more than 565,000 patients studied, 9,432 men and 1,806 women developed an inability to urinate. Among men, the researchers found a statistically significant link between those who took the drugs and those who didn't. Among those taking the drugs, the odds of the urinary condition were about 40 percent higher in those who'd been using the drugs for 4 weeks or less, and they were 80 percent higher among those with enlarged prostate glands.
"Physicians should highlight for patients the possible connection between urinary symptoms and inhaled respiratory medication use to ensure that changes in urinary flow (i.e., incomplete voiding, urinary incontinence, and decreased urinary flow) are reported to the physician," the authors wrote.
The researchers added that low doses of the drugs may reduce a patient's risk for these urinary problems.
The study is published in the May 23 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Welcome to Room 124!
This year promises to be filled with new learning, friends and fun.
I really believe I have one of the most important, complex and interesting jobs in the world. I see myself as a curious detective. I use a teaching idea called Choice Theory to determine your child's basic needs. I try to observe if they are searching mostly for love, power, freedom, fun, or survival.
I like and respect the constructivist teaching style. This is when children are given a task but they must come to the meaning on their own and defend their thinking to others. All children will get even better at defending their thinking with many details. Different ideas are very important to me. Each day we will hear many different voices rather than just mine.
Throughout the district, we use a growth mindset that Carol Dweck's Mindset book describes. As a class, we try to embrace challenges, persist with obstacles, use effort as a path of mastery, learn from criticism, find lessons and inspiration in the sucess of others, and use mistakes to help with learning. Questions that arise from this approach might include: Did you make any marvelous mistakes that you can learn from today? What questions did you ask? What can you put more effort into tomorrow?
I follow current brain research and find this new science area to be fascinating. I've researched, learned and implemented choices, humor, movement, music and fun on a daily basis. These are proven ways to increase learning with all students. I make sure our class has the opportunity for these experiences each day and I purposely write them into my lesson plans.
I'm thrilled with the district's new Investigations math series by Pearson Scott Foresman. It uses the constructivist approach and I'm on fire to start the new lessons.
We will work and play hard this year. I have high behavior and academic standards. I expect your best. I will give you my best each day. You will see and know my expectations because I write a weekly newsletter and find the benefits to be great. This will be the most magical year if we work hard together.

[UPDATE: Some offers mentioned below have expired and/or are no longer available on our site. You can view the current offers from our partners in our credit card marketplace. DISCLOSURE: Cards from our partners are mentioned below.]
Chase is launching a new premium travel credit card that comes pretty loaded with perks.
The new Chase Sapphire Reserve, set to debut next week, will offer cardholders three points per dollar on travel and dining worldwide; one point per dollar on all other purchases; an annual $300 statement credit that can be put toward any travel purchases charged to the card; an application fee credit of up to $100 for Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check; Priority Pass Select airport lounge access and — wait for it — a 100,000-point signup bonus if you spend $4,000 in the first three months of opening the account.
Given Chase's plan to let Reserve cardholders redeem points through its Ultimate Rewards travel reservation portal at a rate of 1.5 cents each, that sign-on bonus could net you $1,500 toward a future vacation. (And that's not counting the $300 statement credit you'll get each year.)
Of course, all those perks come at a price: The card will carry a $450 annual fee ($75 for authorized users), which applies to your first statement. So, while you may ultimately recoup the funds and then some (at least in your first year), you'll have to throw down a pretty penny ahead of time.
Remember, you must spend $4,000 in the first three months of opening the account to get the mega-sign-on bonus. That may not seem like a tall order for frequent fliers or big spenders, but those on a tighter budget may want to crunch the numbers to be sure the spend justifies the means — this year and beyond.
Chase has yet to provide information on the annual percentage rates (APRs) the card will carry. The company did say Reserve won't have foreign transaction fees.
Chase Sapphire Reserve is not Chase's first Sapphire-branded card. It joins the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card (see full review here), which carries a $95 annual fee (waived the first year); a base rewards program offering two points per dollar on travel and dining; and one point per dollar everywhere else. It also has a 50,000 point sign-on bonus, which can be equivalent to $625 in travel credits, given those points are worth 1.25 cents when redeemed through the Ultimate Rewards travel portal.
The Skinny on Premium Rewards Cards
Premium rewards cards, in general, can be a great way for big spenders to earn points, miles or cash back on their purchases. But this plastic is best suited to those who don't carry a balance — otherwise those rewards will get lost to interest — and spend enough to recoup any annual fee tied to the card.
Of course, no matter what card you're considering, it's important to read the terms and conditions carefully to be sure it's the right one for you. It's also a good idea to check your credit because it typically takes a stellar score to qualify for the best cards on the market. You can see where you currently stand by viewing two of your credit scores, updated every 14 days, for free on Credit.com. If you're carrying debt, you can see how long it will take to pay off by trying our lifetime cost of debt calculator.
At publishing time, Chase products are offered through Credit.com product pages, and Credit.com is compensated if our users apply and ultimately sign up for its cards. However, this relationship does not result in any preferential editorial treatment.
Note: It's important to remember that interest rates, fees and terms for credit cards, loans and other financial products frequently change. As a result, rates, fees and terms for credit cards, loans and other financial products cited in these articles may have changed since the date of publication. Please be sure to verify current rates, fees and terms with credit card issuers, banks or other financial institutions directly.

I'm just curious. I know there are a lot of people who deal with these. I remember there was someone else on the boards who use to complain about migraines often, so if there is another thread already... sorry mods.
Anyway, I'm curious what people take for it, if you have found something that works. This has been one of my worst years with them so far. I take naproxon and fioricet, this use to work... but the last few times, I've been given generic fioricet, which never works and if anything makes things worse.
I once read that vitamin D helps, and I seriously thought it did because I quit getting them so often, once I started taking a vitamin D supplement every morning.
I had an ice pack on my right eye off and on for almost a day and half with my last one... and that's what usually numbs it enough to ease it, but this barely works anymore... just curious for those who deal with them often, if you've found some stuff that works.
When the pain in my eye gets to be a dull pain rather than severe, I've found a hard run on the treadmill will kill it completely. Just curious how others deal.

Highly professional private tour guides, expert drivers and fast-track admission to museums will make your trip to Tallinn a truly memorable one!
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral stands out from the old town buildings with it's bright color and Byzantine architecture. It's one of the latest constructions of the old city, the Russian Orthodox church, build by the request of Russian Emperor Alexander the 3rd in the 1900. It's located on the high point of the Toompea Hill in front of the Parlament building.
The fascinating walls of the old town remind us of the middle ages. The numerous towers each have their own history and the unique name. The most famous of those are "Paks Margareeta" (Fat Margaret), Kiek in de Kök (look into the kitchen), Tower behind the tower and many others. Tallinn is one of the very few towns with that large number of the middle age constructions preserved.
The Dome Church is one of the oldest churches of Tallinn. The church looks very plain and simple with the white walls and small dome, but it has the very long history. It was first mentioned in 1233 and since than it has been one of town's main temples. It's dedicated to Virgin Mary. It has the graves of the prominent peope of 13th-19th centuries.
The theater plays the operas, ballets and musicals, including the world famous performances like "Rigoletto", "Toska", "Swan Lake", "My fair lady". It's the most popular theater of Estonia. The building was designed by the Finnish architect in the beggining of the 20th century.
Raeapteek (Town Hall Pharmacy) is one of the oldest continuously running pharmacies in Europe, having always been in business in the same house since the early 15th century. It is also the oldest commercial enterprise and the oldest medical establishment in Tallinn. It's located next to the Town Hall and still preserves the charming medieval spirit with the of jars and herbs, hidden in the large wooden closets.
Toompea is the highest hill in the Tallinn area, so it was selected for the construction of the fort. The first constructions in the Toompea castle dates back to 1219. Many of the walls and towers have survived, thus making it one of the oldest forts of Europe. Tall Hermann tower of the Toompea castle with the Estonian flag on top is one of main national symbols.
Fat Margareth (Paks Margareeta) reminds us of the romantic legend of "Estonian Romeo and Juliet" - the story of a pesant boy Herman and firsheman's daughter Margareth. The Tall Herman tower is on the opposite part of the old town, sadly separated from his love for centuries.
Great Coastal Gate is located in the northern part of the old town. It's the closest gate to the seashore, which explains the origin of the name. The Gate is built next to the Fat Margareth Tower. It's decorated with the dolomite coats of arms of Tallinn and the date the gate was open - 1529.
Kadriorg palace and the park is a great masterpiece from Peter the Great's times. It bears the name of Peter's wife Catherine. It's a beautiful palace in the quite park, located close to the seaside.
The contemporary building of the Kumu Art Museum (Kumu Kunstimuuseum) houses one of the largest national art museums of Northern Europe. The building appeared in the beggining of the 21st century to the design of the Finnish architect and was rates as the best museum by the European Museum Forum in 2008.
Marzipan is the most popular European delicacy. It is one of the major sweets in the Scandinavian countries. The workshop is a great opportunity to learn to make your own unique souvenir - a little marzipan sculpture and paint it with the food colorings.
It is a great way to feet the medieval spirit of Tallinn. Make a stop for the photo at the Tallinn Town Hall - the only remaining gothic town hall in Europe, walk the narrow streets of the old city, have a cup of coffee in the 200 year old coffee shop, walk up to the observation spot with the greatest panorama of the Tallinn bay.
The Regatta of Moscow 1980th Olympics was organized in Tallinn. The special Regatta complex was constructed at Pirita Beach to provide the accommodation for the participants. The colors of the complex reflect the natural landscape of the area, blending it into the enviroment.
Estonian Parlament building is located next to the walls of the Toompea Castle. It's the active government building, open for the tourists' visits to observe the work of the Parlament from the special balcony. The Tall Hermann (Pikk Herman) Tower is a part of the Parlament building. It's the tallest tower of the Tallinn's city walls.
Pirita is the one and only river of Tallinn, located 3 miles away from the old town. Pirita valley is a beautiful natural area, loved by locals. The Tallinn botanical garden and the remains of the ancient St. Brigitta's monastery can be found there. The area where the Pirita river reaches the Baltics is called the Pirita beach. There are numerous spa hotels at the Pirita beach.
For the long time the office of Estonian president was located in the Kadriorg palace. Later the special building was constructed next door to Kadriorg, repeating the design of the old palace. The palace is closed to visitors.
Russalka memorial is an important landmark of the Pirita beach. It honors the Russian warship Russalka, that sank in a severe storm in the Baltics in the end of 19th century.
The white tower of St. Olaf's church is the most distinct landmark of Tallinn. The 123 meter high spire is still the highest structure in the town (except for the TV tower). It's the most popular observation spot of the city. The church has the great acoustics, so it's frequently used for the conserts.
The song festival grounds is a tradition of the Scandinavia countries. The national singing has been a large part of the national culture for centuries, this is why most of the Scandinavian towns will have the area with the good acoustics for the outdoor singing festivals. The Grounds in Tallinn were re-desidned in 1959 with the unique arch shaped stage which enhances the voices of the singers. It is used on the regular basis for full scale of performances from the rock conserts to the folk festivals.
The Tallinn old city center consists of 2 major sections - the Lower Town and the Toompea hill, separated by the fort wall. The lower town is a busy tourist area with narrow streets and old houses. The main attractions of the lower town are the Town Hall Square, Oldest Pharmacy, Church of Saint Olaf, 3 Sisters Buildings. There are numerous restaurants and coffeeshops on the streets of lower town.
Three Sisters are 3 identical houses, located in the northern part of the old town on the main street. These are the traditional houses of the merchants, first mentioned in 1362. Since that time 3 sisters were owned by richest and most prominent citizens of Tallinn.

Montefiore Avenue Tennis Courts - The History So Far (Aug 07)
The story starts as far as we can tell with a decision somewhere within TDC that the tennis courts at Montefiore Avenue were surplus to requirements and if developed could enable a development site to be sold at the rear of the courts. Despite a Freedom of Information search HOOT has not been able to pin down the date of this decision, by whom it was taken and on what evidence it was based.
What is fact is that on the 7th June 2006 the site was registered with the UK Land Registry; this is a necessary precursor to any eventual sale as the Local Authority has owned the site since 1948. It has been a public tennis court and bowling green since 1913. Strangely in nearly 50 years of public ownership it had not been deemed necessary to register it until June 2006.
On the 15th of September 2006 a senior TDC planning officer, emailed senior colleagues at TDC with an assessment of the site. The email reads more like the opinions of a speculative property developer than that of town planner. The email described the development potential for the site that other departments within TDC had been contacted for their opinions and in essence the author saw no obstacles in the way of development. The email is also revealing as much for what it does not say as for what it says; nowhere does it contain any reference to serious planning issues like the environment, Local Plan policies, consultation with users, residents or local Ward Councillors.
Despite all this behind the scenes activity local residents and their representatives were unaware of any proposals for another 5 months. Then Ward Councillors discovered that the sale of this site was to be decided at a Council Cabinet Meeting scheduled for the 6th February 2007, giving them and local residents just 5 days to voice their opinions. The matter was concealed in a seemingly innocuous agenda item described as:- "telecomm mast at Southwood and miscellaneous disposals". Integral to the initial proposal was the sale of a fictional "depot" in King George VI Park (the only depot in the park was actually in the stable yard sold years ago to Phillip Dadds the Architect). This sale was touted as solving alleged vandalism to the Italianate Greenhouse which is now under the control not of TDC but of Mr Dadds.
At the Cabinet meeting local residents produced a hastily gathered petition of 350 signatures that was summarily dismissed by TDC's Leader Cllr. Ezekiel. The matter was forced through amid a great deal of public protest and local anger, both at the proposals, the manner by which they were presented and the way local views were totally ignored.
As a consequence of this flawed decision by TDC's Cabinet a public meeting was held on the 22nd of February supported by around 100 residents at which "HOOT" (hands off our tennis) was formed. HOOT is a loose association of like-minded individuals dedicated to fighting these plans using the various skills of local residents, with the objective of having the entire idea scrapped.
The first success was that the proposed sale of part of King George VI Park (the fictional "depot") was withdrawn. Subsequently HOOT asked our local ward councillors Councillors Fenner and Poole to raise this issue with TDC's Scrutiny committee. The initial Scrutiny Committee postponed the item, however on the 29th of March the matter was considered with the result that there was a unanimous decision by the committee that the earlier cabinet decision on the 6th of February was flawed. In the view of the Scrutiny Committee TDC had not correctly followed asset disposal procedures, they had failed to consult with the public or Ward Councillors and had ignored other issues like the environment. This is particularly pertinent as the site proposed for development is next to a KCC created nature area associated with Holy Trinity Primary School and is adjacent to the park. The scrutiny panel agreed with HOOT representatives John Farley and Geoffery Johnson that this was an environmentally sensitive area and needed further investigation.
HOOT organised its first family day and were astounded at the response with 400 people attending supported by such figures as the local MP Dr Ladyman and Ramsgate's Mayor Councillor Steve Ward.
There is not a scintilla of support locally for doing anything but leaving the site as it is. Part of the site is used for informal play, dog walking and so on and the tennis courts are very well supported despite the fact that TDC ceased to leave the nets in situ for the last 3 winters so reducing the usage, an unfortunate coincidence one might say. Figures released by TDC for the 5 months of the 2006 season show that there is an average of between 50 and 100 users per week on these tennis courts over the whole period when payment is necessary. They are free before 10am and after six so total usage is much higher.
Hoot have the support of many of the Local sports clubs, Roger Draper who is the CEO of the Lawn Tennis Association of Great Britain has visited the site and has pledged to help the campaign. Central to the arguments put forward by TDC to cloak this sale in respectability is the central point that the audit of sports provision found a surplus of conventional courts and a notional shortage of floodlit courts. This was arrived at by taking a 30% lower standard of provision than is recognised nationally (using the infamous deprivation indices) and TDC have proposed to replace the four tennis courts with 2 floodlit tennis courts. However HOOT believe TDC recognise that this is not a realistic proposal due to running cost, environmental issues (floodlit courts next to a nature reserve) and the need for supervision; It will be proposed to gain acceptance of the scheme and will fall by the wayside in due course.
One of the pillars of justification cited by TDC is the PPG 17 audit of sports facilities, it is an audit (in effect a counting exercise), not a survey or an examination of policy and contains serious flaws. It did not investigate usage levels or the views of users of tennis facilities. Officers have merely recited the convenient conclusions selectively lifted from this plan without taking the time to understand it, or the needs of the local users or to see the gaps in the report. HOOT has conducted a survey of tennis users on these courts and nowhere did we find any support from users for 2 floodlit courts in preference to the 4 existing courts. What users want is the reinstatement of the previous policy of 25 years standing of the nets being left in situ all year round.
At a face to face meeting these issues were put to TDC's Leader Councillor Ezekiel by HOOT representatives. Cllr. Ezekiel frankly admitted this was a proposal driven much more by cash requirements than by any clear vision of sports provision or how it could be improved
On the 2nd of September Hoot held another tennis coaching and fun day at the Tennis Courts attended by a large number of children, parents, supporters and Dr Ladyman MP. It is quite clear that far from reducing the demand for these facilities the use is increasing.
However despite all of the facts of this case detailed here TDC have not withdrawn the proposal that they rushed through in such a dubious manner back in February. They have merely promised to hold a public consultation on this matter. HOOT will contribute to this, whether TDC will listen is another thing.

ABI Counselling and Rehabilitation Service
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is a complex yet often invisible disability that can have devastating and long term consequences, not only for the person with the injury, but also for their family and friends.
At Melbourne ABI Counselling, we work along side individuals with ABI and their families to maximise emotional wellbeing and functional independence.
We support our clients through the process of:
* coming to terms with changed abilities and life roles.
We work with clients to:
* facilitate adjustment to and acceptance of change that has been brought about by brain injury.
Alongside this psychological support, we encourage clients to:
* identify their strengths and find practical ways to manage their difficulties so that they may pursue meaningful activities and take on purposeful life roles.
We specialise in helping clients of all ages and abilities who may have acquired their brain injury through trauma (e.g. car accident), infection, disease, drug or alcohol use, stroke, brain tumour or who have other neurological conditions.
Melbourne ABI Counselling provides a range of specialist ABI counselling services which seek to effectively improve the lives of people who have been affected by ABI as well as their families. Our counsellors are highly experienced in the field of ABI. They bring with them extensive knowledge and understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges faced by a person whose life has changed as a result of ABI.
The consequences of ABI for the person with the injury and their family can be long term and far reaching. The full extent of these consequences may not be realised until a person attempts to return to their pre-injury life. The cognitive, behavioural and psychological impairments that can result from ABI may impede a person's ability to return to previous employment, carry out domestic duties, relate to their partner, fulfil roles within the family and maintain social networks. This inability to fulfil roles that were part of a pre-injury identity can affect a person's sense of self and if ignored, may have a devastating affect on their emotional wellbeing.
At Melbourne ABI Counselling, we work with our clients in the context of their individual cognitive abilities, in order to support them through the emotional and psychological challenges they face as a result of ABI. We provide clients with a supportive environment in which they are encouraged to talk openly about their experiences and emotions. This is an extremely valuable process for both themselves and their families.
We also aid the client, family or carer to identify and implement appropriate strategies in order to constructively manage difficult feelings and enhance emotional adjustment and wellbeing.
Specialist ABI Counselling services include:
- Supporting positive adjustment to life with ABI
- Trauma counselling
- Grief and loss counselling
- Family counselling
- Relationship counselling
- Parenting support
- Sexuality counselling
- Drug and alcohol counselling
- Anger management counselling
- Anger management course
- Suicide prevention counselling
- Professional development training for organisations
We offer home based and community appointments throughout Melbourne and surrounding areas.
Melbourne ABI Counselling is an approved TAC provider.

Alright, so you cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize – and so you have a fairly perfect beauty regime. You are proud of your skin care routine and feel your skin is doing just great. Well, we might not have good news for you. You are most probably sabotaging your skin and that too, without even knowing!
There are certain things that every woman indulges herself in, and thus messing with her skin. Let's talk about 5 such villains which harm our skin more than doing good.
Read on to discover, after all, you need to keep your skin right, no?
- Over-exfoliating your skin
Undoubtedly, exfoliation brings a glow to your skin. But how much should you actually do? What's the right amount of doing it? We'll advise you to play it safe. Limit it to once or twice a week. Further, if you flaunt a super sensitive skin, make sure you are using a skin exfoliator meant for sensitive skin, or else you'll end up with skin inflammation and irritated skin.
- Picking products just because your friends said so!
So your best friend just talked to you about the new cleanser that she has got and it is just perfect! Next time when you went to the supermarket, you purchased it immediately. Alert – wrong move!
Do not copy your friends blindfolded. Choose the cleanser made for you and which is right for you keeping your skin quality, texture and beauty regime in mind.
- Going overboard with moisturization
This goes without saying; moisturizing is one of the main parts of your beauty schedule. But that in no way means that you should overboard it. Over moisturization can harm your skin, leaving your skin addicted to moisturizer. This way it loses its ability to adjust itself. Thus, have a proper schedule – apply it every morning and night, and do not overdo it.
- Are you using wrong toothpaste?
Well, yes, this might sound a little bit weird the first time. But if you are having breakouts near your mouth, it is high time that you inspect the ingredients of your toothpaste. The presence of various chemicals and fluorides in the toothpaste make the situation worse. It is thus better to stick to natural products.
- Your beauty skin has not changed over the years
If you are having the same beauty routine that you had during your college days – my friend, this is where you are going wrong. Just like your lifestyle and even your diet have changed over the years – it is the right time that you change your beauty regime too. Study and analyze your skin and the products which work well on it and blacklist the ones which don't. Invest in a good eye cream and start fighting with aging symptoms right from the beginning.
- You're not detoxifying yourself
Living in a city has its set of pros and cons. The major con is to face that pollution that takes its toll on your skin. It is thus very important that you detoxify yourself internally. Make sure that your body gets rid of toxins before they start showing on your face. Try sticking to an alkaline diet. Taking baths with Epson salt also help.
How many of these ways are you guilty of sabotaging your skin? Shout out in the comments below!

Confidential! Dr Smith refuses to reveal UK Framework documents to HoA!
Premier Smith; however, has ignored those urges, including to a recent request for the documents to be made available to the House Members by Opposition Leader Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) on March 15, 2018.
Hon Fahie had asked the Premier to produce every correspondence between the Virgin Islands (VI) and the United Kingdom (UK) Governments on the Territory's recovery plan since November 2017.
On the day when the Virgin Islands Recovery & Development Agency Act 2018 is being debated and voted on in the House of Assembly, Opposition Member Hon Julian Fraser RA made one final attempt to get Premier Smith to lay all the cards on the table during the Question and Answer Segment of the Third Sitting of the Third Session of the Third House of Assembly today, March 22, 2018.
'Documents are confidential'- Dr Smith
However, Hon Fraser failed in his bid moments ago. The Opposition Member wanted to know whether Premier Smith signed or agreed in any other manner to the term in the document titled: High Level Framework for UK support to BVI Hurricane Recovery and to provide the full document mentioned.
According to Premier Smith, they "are confidential documents" and referred to Standing Order Section 17A (ii).
"Madam Speaker, Premier, you can't furnish me with your response or the documents?" Hon Fraser asked.
"Madam Speaker, as I have determined, these are confidential documents…" Premier Smith responded.
Hon Fraser then stated that the Premier must appreciate that he is seeking the support of the HoA Members "to aid in furthering the aims and objectives of the United Kingdom Government that was triggered by that particular document and if we do not have that document it is going to be almost impossible for us today..."
He added: "You have given us three pages of that document, and from my knowledge, there are five pages, the other two pages you are saying we can't have?"
Premier Smith then refuted that he gave Hon Fraser three pages of the document.
"That is true, you didn't give me any at all. I kind of stumbled on it somewhere, but there are five pages of this document and we are not getting it. That is what you are saying?" Hon Fraser asked.
"Let's just set the stage for later," Hon Fraser remarked to Premier Smith's silence.
No one disagrees that loans are necessary
While no one disagrees that the Virgin Islands needs to borrow monies to aid in its recovery following the devastation of two category 5 hurricanes in September 2017, members are sceptical about the implications of the UK Framework document to the VI. The secrecy of the NDP Government regarding the documents have heightened suspicions and sparked many concerns, including from the Backbenchers.
The Bill entitled 'Virgin Islands Recovery & Development Agency Act 2018' was read a second time today and is currently being debated.

What he believed he knew he realized that he doesn't know but has already sacrificed us due to his miseducation and ignorance. And the loyal ones who would follow his lead anywhere are also miseducated and misled. So now rather than face the reality he is bullying and refusing to answer questions b/c his whole life he was deceived about his relationship w/ UK and his position in the world. His world has come crumbling down on him.
heart attack (22/03/2018, 15:03) Like (15) Dislike (5) ReplyThis is more serious than I thought. If Premier Smith can't even trust his backbenchers with this secret, something is definitely wrong. So when will "WE" his bosses know? I guess at the soon coming polls. WOW!!!This is sickening. Is this man for real? while I am here getting a big one.(Sanford). If I was in that house at that moment, I would have excused myself and teach him a lesson but those Backbenchers are not politically educated and have NO backbones. The people of these Islands on a whole have no backbones. Pure talk for a few days and No actions. That is why we are being laughed at and dis-respected in all corners. I for one don't care what or who say but I am praying for the UK to rule. It can't get any worse. What is the big secret? It is all OUR business and not your. You can only control your personal house business not the masses.

You can give a toys for many tots that need that toys. If you are searching for some financial assistance for Christmas this year to supply gifts for children, you might qualify for this program. It is possible to find completely free financial aid in many forms for all types of distinct holidays. Daycare assistance is a superb method to put more income in your pocket.
Some folks say, It's merely a toy." You may also receive a traditional toy known as the Fisher Price Corn Popper, which is essentially a stick which also makes noise. It is very important to read about each small Tikes toy and be sure it is secure and appropriate for your son or daughter.
Make sure to thoroughly inspect the toy to make certain it's best for your youngster. Further, toys for tots should be entirely secure and of premium quality. Even should a toy appears tremendous, it may be dangerous. The secret to choosing the right toys from the internet toy stores for your little one is about development. Such toys are most proper for tots aged few months and older. There are a number of superb educational toys offered for children of all ages.
If you are searching for toy drives, take a look at the Augusta Civic Center. You'll discover several regional toy drives where it's possible for you to request donations to supply gifts for your children. It's wonderful how from an incredibly young age some children appear to have a pure interest in some specific objects or subjects.
The 30-Second Trick for Toys for Tots
Attempting to grow the charity is essential for me. The first thing that you will need is a charity to get the funds. Kenosha Christmas Charities, Inc. is a superb place to search for assistance. There are a number of charitable organizations that offer free Christmas gifts or toys for children. These charities can definitely use the support of individuals who are prepared to give up just a bit of time every year. First of all, you must examine the Christmas charity that you're considering going through. There are several more reputable charities.
Just remember…you would like to prepare the holiday buying mood ahead of time by means of your party hostess. You don't need to get things which don't provide you joy simply because they're readily available. Feel me, spreading the Christmas cheer makes you feel that a small amount of help goes a fairly long way. What a fantastic way to invite people who may require a little Christmas cheer.
Parents and grownups are invited to choose the gifts they wish for their kids and relatives. There are 3 things that parents will need to bring with them though. Parents who encourage their children to come up with both motor abilities and intellectual abilities are giving their children a good head start.
Please consider when choosing a toy, keep in mind it can be the just one a kid will receive. In case you have a young child with a disability, make sure you incorporate that information as you write, as it may enhance the likelihood of getting some kind of help. With toddler toys, your son or daughter needs to be permitted to develop motor abilities. Children who register via Organization won't be eligible to get toys through Family Registration. Your child also needs to be encouraged to learn shapes, colours, animals and other standard things. It's tricky to determine what to find little children for Chanukah.
Getting the Best Toys for Tots
Christmas Eve isn't a day and New Years Eve isn't a day. Before you become overwhelmed, consider the simple things which make the holidays special. For many of us, Christmas is an opportunity to count our blessings and to appreciate our loved ones, friends, and excellent fortune. Christmas has come to be the industrial profit center for the world. Of course you require a Santa.
You have lots of charities to appear into and you also might need to start looking into gifts you are able to make and give at no cost. If donated, such items won't be distributed. The chunky pieces are simple to assemble and generate an abundance of activities that children will enjoy. It's possible for you to pick up these completely FREE bags at the shop in the Rec.
The brand provides everything modern with a bit of vintage. You should check with the neighborhood shop, they are normally very beneficial. Some gifts for children are always in. There are many methods to provide the present of a Christmas Dinner. It's an excellent present for your friends too.

Two painted animal bones – plucked from an American Indian burial site in Florida a century ago, and on a Denver museum shelf for the past 24 years – will be returned next month.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is "repatriating" the painted bones to the Miccosukee Tribe, in accordance with a 1990 federal law, officials said earlier this week.
The two bones are part of more than 2,000 objects and the remains of almost 600 individuals returned to tribes from three Denver institutions under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
Sixteen years after the act was passed, museum and tribal representatives say it has been a great success – marred by a few frustrating exceptions.
Some American Indian groups have found the process of returning ancestors home to be bureaucratic, frustrating, expensive and time-consuming.
"We've been on this since the year 2000, trying to get these things returned so our people can be at rest," said Fred Dayhoff, who represents the Miccosukee tribe.
Many museum officials feared the repatriation act would strip their shelves bare of Native American objects – which had come to them through donations, purchases and bequeathals and from expeditions and digs a century ago.
"Rather than NAGPRA leaving us bankrupt, it's enriched the knowledge we have about our objects," said Bridget Ambler, curator of material culture at the Colorado Historical Society.
The Historical Society has returned remains of 568 Native American individuals, and 1,825 items, Ambler said. Last year, some remains were reburied at Mesa Verde National Park.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has returned the remains of six people and 176 objects, museum anthropologist Steven Nash said.
The Denver Art Museum has returned 10 items under the act, spokeswoman Andrea Fulton said.
Dayhoff said the Miccosukee people requested hundreds of items from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science six years ago.
"We're going to get two," Dayhoff said.
Other items – shell ornaments, coins and breastplates used in burials, Dayhoff said – remain in limbo because anthropologists identify them as Calusa.
The Miccosukee believe they are descended in part from the Calusa – who disappeared from southwest Florida around 1800, Dayhoff said.
Without the return of the objects, he said, Miccosukee ancestors can't find the next world.
"They will wander Earth forever looking for these lost items," Dayhoff said.
The issue of cultural identification has been the repatriation act's trickiest element, said national program manager Sherry Hutt.
The law has resulted in the return of nearly 32,000 human remains to tribes, she said.
More than 118,000 others sit in limbo on museum shelves because tribes and museums can't figure out to whom they belong, Hutt said.
In most cases, the bones were too poorly cataloged to know where they came from, said Walter Echo-Hawk, a senior staff attorney with the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder who helped write the repatriation act.
Officials are expected to come out with a policy on those culturally unidentified remains sometime this year, he said.
"NAGPRA has worked from the tribal perspective," despite the cumbersome bureaucracy, Echo-Hawk said.
Nash said the museum is working quickly to try to resolve claims by the Miccosukee and other tribes and added that he's embarrassed some tribes have been waiting more than six years for answers.
"I can see why they're frustrated," he said. "We're working on that issue."

A busy Pittsburgh bridge was closed following a pedestrian accident involving a dump truck that has left one person dead and injured two.
Public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said one pedestrian died and a second was critically injured after being hit by the truck at the Smithfield Bridge and East Carson Street. The busy intersection is near Station Square, a former railroad station that's been redeveloped as a shopping and entertainment complex just south of downtown.
The driver of the truck was also taken to a hospital, though it's unclear how or how badly that person was injured, Toler said.

Good Charlotte Return With A Text Message Based Lyric Video For "Makeshift Love"
A big surprise after five years, it seems like GC is making a comeback! Your favorite classic, pop punk band, Good Charlotte, has returned with a new single called "Makeshift Love," a breakup song and we love the nostalgia!
While on break from Good Charlotte the twins had tons of fun working and making friends with younger bands like All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, 5 Seconds of Summer, and more! It was the time spent with these artists that inspired the group to reunite. "We all wanted to stand on stage together again as a band" Benji Madden explained.
In the "Makeshift Love" lyric video (above) we see various shots of something very familiar to us all – phone screens lit up with texts. A perfect way of displaying lyrics on screen without being boring. Thumbs crank out GC's new lyrics and press send. A few of their lines say things about "the old me". Which I think gives a sense of new things to come from GC!
What will this run bring? "2016 marks the 20 year anniversary of Good Charlotte," Madden explained. "These days we are all operating on feelings, so we will see how it feels!" Tickets went on sale today, Nov 6th, for a special one night only performance. On Nov 19th, if you're lucky, you'll catch the guy's in LA preforming at Troubadour. #welcomebackGC

How to install/check if my floating license file is running ?
+ Known issues for CW for PA V10.4, CW for MCU V10.6, CW for HC12 V5.1, ...
Most of the time the "Product Licenses" is working fine but there are some cases where the information provided in the Product Licenses dialog are wrong.
This is the case for:
- USBdongle license file is used for NL,
- Floating license file.
What's about the Floating License file ?
A Floating license requires a PC defined as server (which can be a client too) and other PC(s) defined as client(s).
How to install a floating license file ?
A client has 3 ways to contact the server (in fact the service running on server):
- Using license.dat file – same file used by server and client
- Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port@host (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port@host)
- Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port-daemon@host (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port-daemon@host)
On server side
On server you must have a service managing the floating license file.
You must download the Flexlm tool available on web site:
Please have a look to the documentation for more details:
The license must be locked on the Server DiskID (vol C:) or HostID.
You can check if the license is running by:
- Server Status + Perform Status Enquiry,
- Server Diags + Perform Diagnostics
On Client side
The client has 3 ways to contact the server but only 1 of these ways must be used.
Sometimes the 3 ways are running and sometimes only the port@host or port-daemon@host can be used.
This is directly linked to your LAN structure.
How the tool is checking the license ?
Case A:
By default the tool tries to find the license.dat in the installation folder.
It could be C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.4.0\PA\license.dat
-> this is the first way
Else if a LM_LICENSE_FILE or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is defined, the system will check all variables defined in this environment variables.
Here there are 2 ways to define the license.dat.
Case B:
If the license.dat is not placed in the default folder (Case A).
You must set the environment variable.
For instance the license.dat is placed in C:\Freescale\license_all\license.dat
You should have:
or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=C:\Freescale\license_all\license.dat
Case A and B required than the same license file used by the server is used on the client.
Case C:
No license.dat file is used on client.
Using LM_LICENSE_FILE or METROWERKS_LICENSE_FILE environment variables allow you to define a server and a port.
This information must be compliant with the license file defined on server.
Example of license file: SERVER My_server_name 00123456789A 1710
Server Name: My_server_name
Port: 1710
To access this server you must use:
or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=1710@My_server_name
Case D:
Now depending of your LAN, this is the case for complex architecture (different subnets, access via VPN, etc),the Case C (as case A & B) could not work.
The solution is to define a port on the daemon.
Extract of new license file:
SERVER My_server_name 00123456789A 1710
VENDOR metrowks port=27000
To access the license file you can use port-daemon@host
or METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=27000@My_server_name
Most of the time we recommend to check floating license in order:
- Case A,
- Case B,
if it's not working then you can try
- Case C,
- Case D.
How to check if a license file is running ?
For floating license, the info provided in the License details could be corrupted.
You can have a message saying the license file is not found or not running whereas the tool is working fine.
The information is not really relevant for Floating license.
The right way to check if the license is running is to:
- open/create a project,
- build the project.
On the server, the log file captures all accesses done to the service
If there is an issue, the problem will be captured in the log file.
The log file contains lot of information to understand what is the problem (If there is one).
To generate this file, on the server, launch lmtools and select Config Services tab.
Inside "Path to the debug log file" field define a file as - for instance CW for PA v10.4:
If the C:\FSL_FlexLM\license_PA_10_4.log is already generated, I recommend you to:
- stop the service,
- delete the log file via explorer,
- re-start the service,
- reproduce the problem on client,
- try with an example project requiring a license file,
- stop the service.
Open the log file to check how the floating license file is used.
Specific trouble for CW for PA V10.4 & CW for MCU V10.6
Under PA V10.4 for instance when the port@host environment variable is used and the service is running on server, when we launch Eclipse we get a wrong license information:
According to the message the license file is not found.
For MCU V10.6, the Help + Freescale Licenses menu is not available.
PA v10.4 and MCU V10.6 using port@host protocol gives you the same message than if no license file was used/defined.
It seems the Product is not detect when the LM_LICENSE_FILE Environment variable is using port@host.
Most of the time the license file is running fine.
Is there a way to check it ?
……….. YES, generate the log file as explained above.
You can use the project examples for CW for MCU V10.6 and CW for PA V10.4 provided in the
Attached a video showing the behavior when port@host is used with CW for MCU V10.6
Specific trouble for CW for HC12 V5.1
As explained above a client has 3 ways to contact the server:
- Using license.dat file – same file used by server and client
- Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port@host (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port@host)
- Using Environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE= port-daemon@host (METROWKS_LICENSE_FILE=port-daemon@host)
We used the following configuration:
Server: Win 7 64 bit
Client: Win XP 32 bit
CodeWarrior for HC12 v5.1 using a project requiring a suite Basic or higher (attached license_test_project.zip - using the simulator)
Using the license.dat or the LM_LICENSE_FILE= port@host, we can build the project but not debug it:
- When the IDE is launched, we got a message "This is the last day …"
- We can build the project without problem. The license file is reconized
- When we launch the debugger we got an error saying the debugger is running at demo mode.
If we check the log file generated by the server, we see the client is asking for compiler and linker keys but no entries for the debugger key.
If the Server and Client is the same PC, the license is working as expected.
The problem occurs only when the server and client are different PCs
We found the LM_LICENSE_FILE= port-daemon@host is working.
The IDE is launched without message (This is the last day …) and we can build and debug an application without problem.
Original Attachment has been moved to: license_test_project.zip

Earlier this week, it transpired that Justin Bieber is no longer allowed to perform in Beijing, due to "his series of misbehaviors"—a decision that especially drew ire amongst Beliebers given that he was set to take the Purpose world tour to Asia in September. Now, however, Bieber announced on Monday that he's cancelled the rest of his tour "due to unforeseen circumstances."
"Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them," his official statement says of the past 150 shows in six continents that have so far made up the tour. "However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates."
More information has, of course, come in the form of anonymous sources: Variety reports that "it wasn't a decision made overnight. He's had some time off and was able to consider his commitments." (That time last month that his fans threw a water bottle at him for not remembering the lyrics to "Despacito" no doubt just showed up on his pro and con list.)
But Bieber, who's kept silent on social media other than posting some unrelated memes and paparazzi shots taken of him on a shirtless run to 7-Eleven, actually cleared things up himself when he ran into TMZ after they spotted him "chilling" near the beach in Santa Monica hours after he made the announcement. "Everything's fine," he told a reporter, reminding them that he's spent the past two years on the road and is due for some "resting," "getting some relaxation," and "rid[ing]" some bikes.
He also wished his fans to "have a blessed day," which brings us to the next stage of the Bieber drama: Less than 24 hours later, TMZ is now reporting that sources close to Bieber's Hillsong Church say the cancellation is because Bieber has "rededicated his life to Christ." Bieber has, after all, been spending much of the last few months with the mohawked Hillsong pastor who baptized him, Carl Lentz, everywhere from Australia's McDonald's to church conferences.
It was at one of those conferences where, last month, Bieber said in a bizarre video that his "faith is stronger than two years ago," seeing as it "grows every day." (He also paused the interview several times to talk about his acne and even start brushing his teeth.)
Still, Lentz and god aren't Bieber's only support these days: He's also found a friend in one John Mayer, who applauded Bieber's self care, and seemed to allude to Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell's recent suicides:
As for Bieber's tour crew of around 200, it appears to definitely be too late now to say sorry: Out of work with no notice, they're reportedly "incredibly pissed off."
