Some companies often hack through tree root systems while replacing
sewer lines and water lines, installing irrigation systems, installing
utilities, and even installing some types of fences. If you find
yourself in need of such work, make sure the company you use either
avoids the tree root systems altogether or takes precautions to
minimize damage. If a trench must go through a tree's root system,
consult with a certified arborist before digging. A tree's root system
typically extends out from the trunk a distance equal to approximately
three-quarters of the tree's height.
Some plumbers have special machines allowing them to replace a sewer
line without digging a trench through the landscape. These plumbers dig
a hole at both ends of the old sewer line. Then, they run a strong
cable down the existing sewer line. At one end of the cable, they
attach a bursting head and the new sewer line that is to be pulled
through. At the other end, they attach the cable to a hydraulic winch.
The hydraulic winch pulls the bursting head and the replacement sewer
line through the old sewer line, breaking the old pipe and expanding
the cavity for the new sewer line in the process.

Whether you keep it in your garage, under a sink or in a toolbox, we all have some wire wool lying around somewhere. It has proven to be a versatile and handy item with some surprising applications.
To show how diverse it can be, we've put together a list of our favourite uses for Stainless Steel Wire Wool.
1. Securing a loose screw
If you find yourself with a loose screw, try wrapping it in some wire wool.
The steel wool will tighten as you turn the screw, providing enough friction to hold it securely in place without needing to fill and re-drill the hole.
Tip: To make sure you have it to hand when you need it, store a small handful of Stainless Steel Wire Wool in your toolbox.
2. Starting a Campfire
Expecting rain when you go camping? Pack a 9V battery and some wire wool.
When you need to start a fire, touch the positive and negative terminals of the battery to the wire wool. The battery will send a current through the thin strands of stainless steel that will make the wire begin to glow and smoulder. Pack away the battery and add some kindling to the wire wool to keep your fire going.
Make sure you keep the wire wool and 9V battery far apart when storing them. A gentle brush of the wire wool against the battery's terminals could be enough to ignite the steel wire. To prevent this, we advise placing them in separate airtight bags and storing them in separate compartments in your rucksack.
Save money by ordering your Stainless Steel Wire Wool in bulk at our eBay store.
3. Reviving Aluminium and Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Wire Wool is corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for restoring the shine and removing scratches on aluminium and stainless steel surfaces.
By using a fine grade of Stainless Steel Wool (0.04mm) with water, you can clean, buff and restore aluminium and stainless steel fittings without affecting their corrosion-resistant properties.
Whether you're using it to remove soap scum and hard water marks or buffing your outdoor furniture and fittings, Stainless Steel Wire Wool and some water is all you need.
4. Pest Prevention
Wire Wool is an inexpensive method of preventing rodents from gaining access to your home, workplace or shed. Simply pack some steel wool around pipes, and into the gaps and crevices around the room to create a rodent-resistant barrier.
Stainless Steel wire wool will rust less than standard wire wool, allowing it to withstand the natural elements better.
We recommend sealing the wire wool in place with caulk, it will prevent the rodents from getting to the wire wool, which will reduce damage, prolong effectiveness and prevent any harm to the mice that might attempt to chew the steel wool.

This is a press release from team Husqvarna/Speedbrain:
Dakar 2012, Stage 1
Mar del Plata – Santa Rosa de la Pampa
763 km in total, 57 km special test
Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain takes no chances
Avoiding unnecessary risks and finding one´s feet in the race – that has been the motto for the Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain in the opening stage of the Dakar 2012. The first special test proved to be fast, dusty and littered with holes. Because of the sometimes dangerous conditions it was important to ride cautiously.
The time differences after 57 km were small. Joan Barreda headed the five-man team, placing sixth on the day.
The 28-year-old Spaniard came from 23th position early on. Teammate Paulo Goncalves rode defensively.
"I wanted to avoid any risk and rather warm myself up for the following days," the Portuguese said. This smart approach was also taken by Zé Hélio, Ike Klaumann and Jose Manuel Pellicer, who all completed the inaugural stage not far behind the leaders.
Tomorrow marks the first real endurance test. The riders have to cover a distance of almost 800 km. The special stage alone offers 295 km. The course is expected to be fast at first, then leading through the dunes of El Nihuil and a spectacular volcano area.

Essay #7: The Healing Power of Finding my Voice by Laura Probert
"I don't want to be married anymore," I said. Only I wasn't sure the words had come out, out loud. The look on his face confirmed. I'd just found the voice I'd suffocated for years. I liked her and she scared me a little. Everything was about to change.
Journaling my stories of pain, desires for freedom and ideas about healing core wounds that probably started this mess was therapeutic. Sharing those stories with a small blog audience; powerful. Having the courage to write them for online sites; crazy and magnificent. My voice, once expressed was a thing to behold and one of the biggest teachers of my life.
"Are you sure?" he said. And I was. But having to speak my clarity out loud to him created a challenge I hadn't expected. Speaking the words, my truth, my revelations, out loud to the world made them real. And today it was about as real as any of my prior days on the earth had been. "Yes, I'm sure," I squeaked, the sound of the words not as sure as when I had written them in my journal.
We sat on the patio with the sliding door closed and I looked over my shoulder frequently to see if the kids were paying attention. Finding the courage to say the words was excruciating enough without having to wonder if the kids would understand. I could tell when we were done, spent from the emotion and energy it took to convince the other they were wrong, that telling the kids would be easier than this.
I found my journal that night and flipped to the pieces I needed to remind myself of. I read the familiar hand writing and listened to the voice of the woman on those pages who was so very sad. I called my best friend, the one who'd known us as long as there'd been an us. "You've never been truly happy," she dutifully reminded me. "This has been going on for a really long time," she continued. As I listened my heart softened slightly.
This time I was clear. I'd sorted out all the fear and doubts, daily, 750 words a day. I wrote until my hand cramped and clicked until my elbows complained. Until one of the keys on my keyboard threatened a revolt. I'd satisfied the ache in my gut and convinced myself staying would hurt the kids more.
Five mediation sessions later we were legally separated. Our life in thirty pages of tiny black and white. "It was a pleasure working with you both. This was one of the easiest situations I've mediated. Good luck to you," Steve said as we walked to the elevator together.
The day I wrote and shared my first blog about being separated my voice quivered on the page. What if? What will happen when? Are you sure? They might think… My head was full and I re-read my post a hundred times to make sure it was love motivating me. When I was sure, I hit go. And in a millisecond the expression of my life in words, the voice I'd spent decades learning how to find and speak, she was alive and ready to share.
That was the healing. And everything was about to change again.

Essay #8: The Day I Heard Me by Noha Al-Kadhi
I do not sleep at night for more reasons than one.
Some reasons are more prominent than others but they all share one common thread …I quiet them.
I quiet my thoughts and summon them to sleep all day, and I quiet them from coming to life at night.
I have finally come to peace with my sleepless nights and found comfort in discovering what my thoughts need to say as I have given them the permission to breathe.
My words were trying to birth their way into the world and they have found the freedom and their welcoming passage, and this is why;
As I lay on the polished hardwood yoga studio floor on top my perfectly folded blanket I ease my back into the bolster and crisscross my legs into a knot.
I am aware of the large glass windows that overlook the endless forest of trees that wrap around the tiny lake within the vast landscape of Montana which swaddle the grounds surrounding it to create a haven for migrating geese on a rainy October evening.
I stare at the ceiling covered in a soft floating pillow pinched into dimples gazing back at me like an airy cloud breaking into a grin.
With my arms spread wide open as though I am about to embrace a loved one, I slowly close my eyes and fall comfortably still into the soothing calm of what is pure silence.
And in that peaceful moment of stillness which could have been a second, an hour or even days, I found the words to the first chapter of my book.
The words found their way out of my congested head that October evening in the yoga studio because it was their safe haven.
I lay open and vulnerable, shed of all societal and cultural restraints, liberated from judgment and critique. I lay in a circle of love, engulfed within open and kind arms and compassionate hearts who have embraced me and given me safety to be.
My voice ascended from a deep silenced place of judgement, expectations, obligations, tradition, culture, and religion. It broke out of a dark space that held it in for too long, and it now basks in the sunlight of truth…My truth… my story… my journey.
Finding my voice is a liberation to generations of conditioning, and those who walked this path before me, and it is the emancipation for all who are destined follow.
My voice is a truth that has yet to be entirely heard and a freedom I have yet to fully experience.
From the Haven in Montana I have nothing but deep gratitude and indebtedness to ten beautiful souls I have had the privilege and honor to have met and known, shared and wept, grown and learned from. It is with this voice I thank you and acknowledge your kind hearts, beautiful minds, and unique voices that could hear mine way before I could.

ICBA is intensively pursuing identifying sustainable solutions for agricultural production in marginal environments characterized by deteriorating quality of soil and water resources.
Global agricultural food production needs to increase between 50 and 70% by 2050 to match the projected population growth. Due to the scarcity of new arable agricultural land, increasing food production will require finding sustainable means to increase the productivity of existing agricultural lands as well as development means to produce food in marginal lands.
Abiotic stresses such as water scarcity, temperature extremes and salinity, and increasing marginality of production systems are emerging as major constraints to improved agricultural productivity resulting in food and nutrition security challenges in many arid and semi-arid regions.
At the same time, in many countries, scarce freshwater resources are increasingly being diverted to growing urban areas leaving agriculture with low-quality brackish and salty waters that adversely effect agricultural productivity as most of the commonly cultivated crops are salt-sensitive. Furthermore, in many agricultural areas, uncontrolled extraction has depleted the groundwater reserves and has, in some places, caused seawater intrusion.
A main focus of the ICBA's applied research program is screening, evaluating and assessing different crop varieties with the objective of introducing new genotypes of nutritious and stress-tolerant crops appropriate for the marginal environments we target. As ICBA considers diversification of production systems based on salt-tolerant alternative crops as a promising opportunity to increase agricultural production in marginal lands.
Since its establishment in 1999, ICBA has been instrumental in conserving genetic resources from around the world, and will continue to enrich its gene bank with plant species from marginal environments. So far, ICBA's Gene Bank boasts a collection of more than 12,600 accessions of some 230 species with proven or potential salt tolerance. This collection provides a unique source of genetic diversity to scientists working on problems of salinity in agricultural production systems.
In 2014, ICBA launched its Plant Biotechnology Laboratory with the objective of combining genetics and genomic approaches to develop new crops through genetic engineering. The new lab will facilitate work to develop biotechnology methods to create crop varieties that are productive and resilient in marginal conditions, it will also work on strengthening the capacity of national partners in multiplying seed of salt-tolerant crops.
The main focus areas for applied research and development under this thematic area are:

The Times Colonist by Maxine Matilpi 8 April 2012
In February, I attended the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearing in my northern Vancouver Island Kwakiutl community of Fort Rupert. Although the event was open to the public, I was disappointed at how few nonindigenous people attended.
In a room of more than 100 people, there were maybe six non-indigenous people, including two Anglican ministers and my husband. I wondered about this absence of people of good conscience, those who consider themselves moral citizens and who are proud to call themselves Canadians.
I'd heard about the TRC hearings through the moccasin telegraph and the Kwakiutl band's newsletter. Maybe non-indigenous people hadn't heard about it.
Later, I worried that other people knew about the hearing, but thought it had nothing to do with them, that it was only for survivors or family members and communities. I don't like to think it was wilful blindness, or that they think Canada's history of residential schools and their legacy is about others, not them.
Because really, it's about all of us, about our shared colonial history.
There are gaps in our collective story. I know about these gaps because I used to teach at a college, and every year I had students – high-school graduates – who were unfamiliar with the term "residential school." When I explained its context, some students were shocked and disappointed they hadn't learned this earlier. Some felt guilty.
Knowing this colonial history is part of what it means to be Canadian. The failure of the public school system to teach the whole truth means the story we tell about who we are isn't complete. The paper records – like most history – is written by the "victors," and as a result, our knowledge doesn't go deep. But shallow understanding from people of good will is, as Martin Luther King pointed out, "more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is more bewildering than outright rejection."
As uncomfortable and unpalatable as it may be, the residential-school story is part of our collective Canadian history. Those testifying at the hearings about our shared past are dispelling lies. Their stories matter profoundly because they have the potential to fill gaps in our collective story.
Like the testimonials told by Central American refugees in the Sanctuary Movement, they are deeply personal stories helping listeners to understand both our history and our current social reality. These stories are being told by whole three-dimensional human beings, and they have the potential to change both those who tell them and those who show up to hear them.
The listeners are invited (maybe forced) to feel, share tears, care. In some cases we were moved and challenged to take action.
The insights provided through these oral histories can contribute significantly to broader historical understandings.
This is our collective story: A child being brought (through the force of the law) to a residential school and seeing and remembering the tears in his mother's eyes, a child remembering her own tears dripping onto the paper as she wrote letters home begging her parents to come and get her.
Such stories help us get beneath layers of information – surface facts, dates, events – and down to what really matters: a place where we can find ideas for healing, change and renewal.
The tellers need us present to listen, and they need us to listen deeply. They need us to be inspired into action, to "walk the talk," to not imagine ourselves absolved through "statements of reconciliation" by survivors reported in the news, or by apologies offered by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
On that long drive back to Victoria, my husband and I had lots of time to reflect on what we'd witnessed, about the significance of the stories we'd heard, about our responsibilities and the importance of being present to validate the experiences that were shared, and about what to do next.
On April 13 and 14, Vancouver Islanders get another chance when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be hosting a regional hearing in Victoria, billed as, "an opportunity for all Canadians, both aboriginal and non-aboriginal, to learn more about and bear witness to the legacy of the residential school system."
My husband and I will find the time to be there, to listen, to bear witness.
Will you?

today you turned 16. sweeet. and craaaazy! what in the world happened? do you remember when you were this little?
yeah, that was 10 years ago. you still had them apple cheeks, and very into power rangers.
even though in 10 years time your tastes and looks have changed (no more power rangers and apple cheeks), there are some things that remain the same.
you are still kind-hearted, honest and thoughtful, just like you were 10 years ago. and when you persevere at something you are quite successful!
you are growing up into a respectable young man, greatly admired by your little brothers and sisters. we know that God is continuing to mold and shape you into what he wants you to be. continue being the gentleman that you are, and keep taking on those challenges like you're iron man taking on the mandarin.

African American and in San Diego

8:30 a.m., Jan. 20
New Village Arts' Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years is one of that company's best shows in its 16 seasons. Sarah L. "Sadie" and Elizabeth "Bessie" Delany don't like to be called "African-Americans." They are "Americans," they say. And as of 1991, had been so for more than a century: Sadie's 103, Bessie, who helps her older sister get around Christopher Scott Murillo's intricately detailed set, is 101.
As they prepare a meal to celebrate their late father's birthday, the Delanys relive American history from Jim Crow to the Harlem Renaissance and Civil Rights. Since they are opposites — Sadie avoids conflict; Bessie creates it — they tell their tales from different, and deeply personal, points of view. And the tellers, Milena (Sellers) Phillips as gentle Sadie and Sylvia M'Lafi Thompson as volatile Bessie are first-rate-plus. They are engaging hosts, spellbinding narrators, and talented chefs, since we watch them prepare a complete dinner as they recall their last 100 years.
Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years, by Emily Mann, adapted from the book by Sarah and Elizabeth Delany

Powers of Attorney – Who, What, Why, Where and When?
Powers of attorney are relatively familiar legal documents for many people. Still, there are a lot of misconceptions about what these documents do and when and why they are necessary. In this article, I will discuss the who, what, why, where and when on powers of attorney.
The parties to a power of attorney are the principal and the agent. The principal is the person who signs the document and grants the power to act to the agent. The agent is the party who receives the ability to act on behalf of the principal through the execution of the document. Commonly, you may hear people refer to the agent as the "power of attorney."
Powers of attorney are documents that we sign in order to allow other select people or organizations to act on our behalf. The term power of attorney refers to the document itself – not the person who is able to act on behalf of the principal.
There a few different types of powers of attorney, but the two that you are most likely to encounter are financial and health care powers of attorney. At our law office, we draft separate powers of attorney so that the client signs one for financial decision making and another for health care decision making. This way, the client has a document that only pertains to health care decision making to give to their healthcare provider and another that only covers financial decision making for their financial institution.
Powers of attorney are useful whenever you wish to allow a third party to make financial or health care decisions on your behalf. In some cases, you may just want someone else to be able to handle your affairs while you are absent or you may just want the flexibility of having another person you trust who can sign documents or handle banking responsibilities for you.
In most cases, however, clients prepare powers of attorney because they are planning for potential incapacity in the future. In other words, they want to make sure that someone can make financial and health care decisions for them in the event they are unable to do so because of an illness or mental incapacity.
Because powers of attorney can allow the agent to make decisions for the principal even after they become incapacitated without court approval, they are an absolutely vital component to a complete estate plan. Those who choose not to prepare powers of attorney run the risk of their families or friends having to petition a court for guardianship. Guardianships generally cost much more than preparation of powers of attorney and open up the door to arguments among family and friends and even the possibility of an unforeseeable court decision on who the guardian will be.
Residents of Pennsylvania would be well served by having their powers of attorney prepared by an attorney and would likely be even better off having them prepared by an estate planning and/or elder law attorney.
Pennsylvania law has undergone significant changes in recent years that have made the drafting and execution of financial powers of attorney more in depth and complicated. It is important to remember that powers of attorney can only be signed by individuals who possess the requisite mental competency. Since powers of attorney are typically not utilized until the principal needs assistance, it is risky to rely on a home-made document in hopes it will be adequate because once the discovery of inadequacy is made it may be too late to sign another document.
If you are over the age of eighteen (18) and have not executed powers of attorney, then the time to prepare these documents is now. Powers of attorney are a vital part of a complete estate plan, regardless of age.
If you have already executed powers of attorney but you haven't reviewed them in a while, now is a good time to do so. If the documents were executed more than five years ago, it's time to review them with an estate planning attorney. While the law has recently changed in Pennsylvania, documents executed prior to the changes are grandfathered and therefore valid as long as they were executed in accordance with the law at that time. The older you are and the older your documents are, however, the more likely you should have them updated.
If you need to put together an estate plan or would like a review of your documents, we offer a free one-hour consultation at the Law Offices of Lutz & Petty and we would be happy to meet with you. You can schedule a consultation with us by calling (570) 218-4888 or by using the "Schedule a Consultation" feature at the top of our webpage.

Agua is one of our Signature pieces; a luxury designer jacket that is a little more costly to make, but well worth the trouble. Agua incorporates winding cables and moss stitch worked into a luxurious chunky buckled jacket inspired by the alchemist's practices and beliefs in the 4 elements. Plato's description, 'water flows from one's hand when picked up as if it is made up of tiny balls' gave me the idea for the stitches I have used for Agua.

Andrei Chikatilo was born on October 16, 1936 in the Ukraine. He was born the second of three children.
Chikatilo did not have a normal childhood. Before his birth, his older brother had been kidnapped and cannibalized by the local town people. His father left to fight in the war at the height of the famine, leaving his sister and Chikatilo to eat leaves and grass when they could not find food to eat.
Although Chikatilo was not sexually or physically abused, he was emotionally abused by the people in his town because of his impotence. Despite this he married at the age of 27 and had two children with his wife. He did make an attempt to rape prior to being married, but it was not until after he was married that the attempted rapes progressed to the raping and murdering of his victims.
Chikatilo began his serial series at the age of 42. He would typically chose women or children as his victims, girls or boys. His victims spanned from the ages of 7 to 45. All of the people he would choose to murder he would rape and torture prior to their death. Chikatilo would strangle or stab his victims to death and was known to have carried up to 23 knives with him. He was known to cut off the tips of tongues, nipples and genitals, sometimes to chew on them. Unlike most cannibals, Chikatilo would not ingest human flesh, but instead just chewed on it. He made an effort to hide all of his victims.
On November 20, 1990 Chikatilo was arrested. In the summer of 1991 investigators believed that they could charge him with the murders of 53 people. On October 15, 1992 Chikatilo was charged and found guilty of murdering 52 people. He was sentenced to death. Chikatilo was executed by firing squad on February 14, 1994.

Series: Stormheart #1
Format: Hardback
Release Date: June 13th, 2017
Length: Novel (382 pages)
Genre: Fantasy
Source: Library
Buy: Amazon, Barnes & Noble
Rating: 4.0-stars
Melissa's Review:Roar is book 1 in the Stormheart series. I've been hearing buzz about this novel for months before it was released and knew I had to read it as soon as I could get my hands on it. It's a Young Adult Fantasy which isn't my normal read but I wound up loving this book.
Aurora Pavan aka Rora/Roar is the princess and heir of Pavan. Her family is one of the strongest Stormling families, which means they have the abilities to fight off the storms that endanger their people. That is, until Aurora and her family figures out that she has no powers. They hide it from everyone and when her 18th birthday rolls around they have set up an arranged marriage to a prince from another Stormling family. The prince is power hungry and just wants the throne, Aurora luckily realizes it when she follows him to a black market of sorts. That's when she meets some storm hunters. She has always thought that only the Stormling families were able to gain powers from storms, but she quickly finds out that hunters have taught themselves to harness some of the storm's energy too. She changes her name to Roar and runs away to join their crew to maybe one day gain powers of her own. While she's out with them though it seems the storms are hitting more frequently than ever and it leads to Roar learning new things about herself.
Roar captured my heart and I couldn't put this book down. I rarely finish a book in one sitting, but this is one of the few that the story flowed so well that I just kept going. The world and the powers were new and interesting, I couldn't get enough of it. Book two will be a must buy for me since I loved this one so much. If you're a fan of Young Adult with paranormal/fantasy twists you'll love this new series.

When out in San Diego a couple weeks ago, I popped over to La Jolla to revisit the town where my grandpa spent many of his summers. What was once grand, has become a nouveau riche ghetto of ersatz Lily Pulitzerites. Ok, there were some nice touches like the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and the gift shop at MCASD but even the La Martina store disappointed for the same plasticy reasons. Just for helmet obsession sakes, I almost did talk myself into buying a polo helmet there, but it cost upwards of $300. So, if you're jonesin' for polo equipment and don't want to scar your eyes with nine-colored easy breather shirts, click into Argentina Polo and go nuts. The green and white helmet only costs $45, while the mallets and the British Indian riding breeches can be yours for around a hundred bucks.

Sally Warren
I was born and raised in Haddonfield, New Jersey, a small town outside of Philadelphia. As the youngest of four, I had developed a sense of humor and a strong sense of competition, which probably helped prepare me for my current job. Upon graduating from Dickinson College, I moved to Hilton Head determined that I wanted to carve out my own identity. My arrival in 1974 was not seamless.
Hired to work for Sea Pines, I arrived only to find the man that had hired me had been released in the '70s lay off's from Sea Pines. My teaching certificate was not reciprocal in two states, and South Carolina was one of them so I needed to scramble for a job. I worked as a receptionist for an insurance company and then spent 7 years teaching school at a local private academy. Making an exorbitant $5,000 a year, I was forced to look for a new career and ended up as a property manager. Property management is what I have done ever since including working with Shipyard since the 1980s.
I am married to David Warren, who is in advertising, and we have one son, David Jr., who is a consultant for Deloitte. As a family, we love sports, family gatherings, and a good laugh. My husband says I am a division one worrier and have kept every piece of paper that ever crossed my desk. So stop in some time, you might be able to see me behind the stack of files. My goals are to make Shipyard a premier community and to take time to stop and smell the roses along the way.
Meredith Elmore
I am from Savannah but lived many of my formative years in New Brunswick, NJ. I am a graduate of Bennett College, in Greensboro, NC where I majored in English and Business Administration. I worked in Human Resources at Savannah State University right after graduation and also began work on my MBA at Georgia Southern University. Just shy of a year later, I came to work here at Shipyard where I have recently celebrated 20 years. Currently, I am working on the final phase of my Ph.D.
My son (Noah) and I live in Pooler, GA. Football is BIG in our house. My son has played in a local league since he was four, so we really enjoy being "part of a team". We are also huge Cowboys and Georgia Bulldogs Fans. We enjoy traveling to just about anywhere, and we are currently planning several college tours for the coming months. I am an avid reader and I journal daily. I truly enjoy learning whatever I can about different places, cultures, and religions. I love a good debate, especially when it comes to politics and current events. I am a licensed Realtor but plan to stay inactive for the time being. Being active in my community is very important to me, so I volunteer through my Junior League and local sorority chapters. I also serve as President of my local college alumnae association. In short, I have a very busy life but I try to enjoy every single minute of it.

Originally from Chicago, I joined the United States Marine Corps and enjoyed being stationed in various locations to include Okinawa, Japan, and Southern California. During my career, I married and had three beautiful daughters. Following 26 years of service to our country and retiring as a Master Sergeant, I relocated to the Beaufort County area. After enjoying one year of retirement, I found that he was not ready to slow down completely and decided to pursue another career. I joined the Shipyard Security team in the fall of 2012. In my spare time, which I never seem to have enough of, I enjoy coaching girls' basketball and playing golf.

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has given GN bank an advisor to ensure that their operations as a Savings and Loans will be sustainable .
This was confirmed by the 2nd Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana Mrs Elsie Awadzie in an interview on Joy Super Morning show on January 2019.
Last week, the Bank of Ghana reclassified GN bank's licenced and they will now operate as a savings and loans.

"GN Bank has been given a new license. This was done to ensure that it will survive. We've also given them an advisor to ensure that their operations are sustainable".
GN bank says it does not expect the reclassification of its status to affect its operations. The Bank last week requested the Bank of Ghana to reclassify its operations following its inability to meet the GHS400 million recapitalization.

Josh & Brandon - QLD
When they're not wakeboarding, restoring old cars, singing country music or speedway racing, the cheeky chippies are working hard on building sites.
"There are two kinds of people in this world," says Josh, 23. "There's doers and gonna doers. I reckon we're doers."
Brandon, 21, adds: "Yeah we get things done!"
The pair from Maryborough, Queensland, were only teenagers when they scraped together enough money for a deposit on an old fixer-upper.
"We're both chippies and thought we could renovate it," Josh says. "We have spent the last three years working on this place, night and day. The money we have can only get so far.
"If you think the house is bad now, you should have seen it when we got it."
What has been renovated has been done cheaply. "Our kitchen has been thrown together with bits and pieces from other jobs," Josh says. "It's an unfinished project."
The boys don't earn much and fear it will take them forever to transform it into the modern contemporary lad pad of their dreams.
"Money's pretty tight," Josh says. "By the time it's done, we might be old men!"
While their mates are out partying, the boys are working to pay off their mortgage.
"It's a struggle," Josh says. "All the bills that come with owning a house, it's hard to keep on top of it all."
Being chippies will come in handy in the competition but they fear they may struggle with styling. As Brandon says, "We don't have that sheila touch."
JOSH: "We're both chippies. People think that will be an advantage but it's not a building competition. It's a designing and styling competition which is an area in which we have no experience."
BRANDON: "It will be tough."
JOSH: "We know what the other can do. I can tell Brandon my ideas and he knows exactly what I mean and vice versa which works well."
BRANDON: "We work really well together."
JOSH: "We are the youngest team in the competition so I'm sure the other teams will underestimate us."
BRANDON: "We don't have much experience but we're going to give it our best shot."

Like me, do you battle anxiety? If so, here are four practical steps you can take when your feel panicked or overwhelmed.
Sometimes I secretly reflect on my life and base its value on how it compares to that of others. Do I believe that God is good to me, or only to others?
Is there an area of life in which God is asking you to be fearless? If so, I get it. Lately, He's been asking me to be brave too.
I often let comparison blind me to the beauty of my own individual story. Do you?
Community keeps us needy and that's a good thing. Here's why.
If you could "do over" any day, what day would it be? My daughter Savannah recently asked me this question. I was surprised to discover what my answer -- and hers -- revealed about us both.
When it comes to having kids, have you faced any disappointments? We have.
Here are 3 simple, but important lessons we can takeaway from the film, "Into the Woods."
What do marriage, holidays, and being brave have in common? Well, this week I happen to have written about all three.
When we're faced with wickedness, how will we respond? What choice will we make? It's a topic I've been talking about a lot lately with my kids.
It's inevitable that each of us will fail at times, but will we choose be a Sue Heck and fail with gusto? Here's how we can do that.

Migrating a justhost website and email over to digitalocean
I am moving my justhost website and email over to digitalocean.
My emails need migrating from JustHost but I want to preserve my domain name… can this be done with imapsync? I mean, I can't have mydomain.com point to both justhost and digitalocean at the same time.
The website will be based on Hexo so that will run on nodejs. I can migrate my current site from Ghost using https://github.com/jasonslyvia/hexo-migrator-ghost
I also run owncloud, which is php based. I could run both node and php with this setup but cozy.io is a nodejs version that looks awesome… does anybody have any experience of Cozy?
vestacp looks like a decent CP but I am not sure if it is overkill for such a simple setup.
Really, any advice would be appreciated… particularly when it comes to question 1.

Vitamin B3 - Niacin
Vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) is one of 8 types of vitamin B. It is an important water-soluble vitamin, meaning that it can't be stored in the body unlike fat soluble vitamins.
It comes in 3 forms: Nicotinic acid, Niacinamide and Inositol Hexaniacinate. Niacin has been studied extensively and shows positive results treating a wide range of many commonly occurring health problems. [1]
Health Benefits of Vitamin B3 / Niacin
Niacin is an important vitamin for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system and metabolism- especially balancing blood cholesterol levels. In addition, niacin helps with brain function, healthy skin formation and maintenance and even preventing or treating diabetes. [1]
Niacin also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin helps improve circulation, and it has been shown to suppress inflammation. [2]
Top Vitamin B3 / Niacin Foods
These percentages are based on the adult RDA of 16 mg/daily for adult males, adult females should consume roughly 14 mg/ daily:

Lauren + Mark // Minooka, IL Rustic Outdoor Autumn Engagement Portrait Session
Getting referrals for your business is like Christmas morning. It seriously is the best compliment you can ever give a photographer. I photographed Rhiannon and Ben's wedding earlier this year and Rhiannon has been singing my praises to her recently engaged friends. Lauren is one of these fabulous ladies and I am so pleased with our engagement session. Lauren snooped out the most amazing location right outside of Minooka, IL. This little gem had walking trails, wooden bridges, and little benches scattered throughout the park. Finding shade is always a must on bright clear sunny days. That way you don't have to squint your way through the session, your eyes will thank you- believe me. Even with the leaves starting to truly shed themselves off of the trees, we had a good amount of shade. Mark's daughter, Lily, came with us on the shoot and she was the absolute cutest. Even when we saw a few bees she kept her cool and had the best smiles for the camera. The park had a huge cabin-like building on it with a wrap around porch. We definitely made the most of it! I asked little Lily to find me her favorite leaf so we could get the ring shot. She came back with two and neither of us could decide which was better. So we used them both! We had such a great time, the weather was beautiful, and I cannot wait to photograph Mark and Lauren's wedding next October!
"We absolutely loved working with Kelsey! She communicated with me in the months prior to our engagement photo session and answered all of my questions. She had such a creative energy during our session and was amazing with my fiance's 6 year old daughter. She made the photo session comfortable and natural which helped since my fiance and I were a little nervous for the photo session. Kelsey is very prompt with the photos and did an amazing job with the ones we selected for editing. Kelsey will be photographing our wedding in October of 2015 and I cannot wait because I know the wedding photos will be simply amazing."

Florida Gov. Rick Scott thanked members of the Hialeah Police Department and SWAT team Wednesday for their efforts in rescuing the hostages of a gunman who killed six people before he was shot and killed by officers last week.
Scott met with officers to congratulate them on their rescue efforts during the hours-long standoff, thanking them for their service during a ceremony at Hialeah Police headquarters.
"Your heart goes out to families, the individuals that were impacted, but also I just wanted to thank you for what you did, it can't be easy to put your lives at risk," Scott told the officers. "If it wasn't for individuals like you, we wouldn't have the safety we have."
The SWAT team presented Scott with one of their patches. Mayor Carlos Hernandez said Scott has been in contact with him since the hostage situation began and has been receiving updates.
"Many of us that have been in law enforcement or are in law enforcement have never seen anything like this," Hernandez said of the shooting and hostage situation.
Police say Pedro Vargas, 42, shot and killed six people and held two others hostage, and opened fire on police officers before he was killed by SWAT team members during a violent standoff Friday at an apartment building in the 1400 block of West 46th Street.
Vargas had set $10,000 in cash on fire before the shooting spree and standoff that lasted until early Saturday, police said.
Italo Pisciotti, 79, and Samira Pisciotti, 69, the husband and wife who managed the building where Vargas lived with his 83-year-old mother for the last 12 years, were killed, as were neighbor 17-year-old Priscilla Perez, her mother Merly Niebles and stepfather Patricio Simono, and Carlos Gavilanes, who was killed across the street.
Police haven't determined a motive in the shootings.
SWAT team member Fernando Montalvo spoke about the night of the shootings.
"That was our main concern, the safety of the hostages," said Montalvo.
Montalvo was one of six officers who rescued Sarrida and Zoeb Nek, and shot and killed Vargas while dodging his bullets at the same time.
"Oh, we were elated, for us, that was the best outcome we could possibly have, that the hostages were safe, absolutely," Montalvo said.
He added that the hostages were grateful.
"Oh they were super grateful. They were very happy, congratulating us, wanting to meet us," Montalvo said.
Meanwhile, family members paid their final respects to Gavilanes at a Wednesday morning funeral at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Hialeah.
His uncle, Nivardo Diaz, remembered Gavilanes as "totally devoted" to his family.
"He was unbelievable," said Diaz, who recalled weekend and holiday barbecues together. "He loved being with his family. He was always the life of the party and obviously we're going to miss that about him."
Family members carried Gavilanes' silver casket up steps and into the church. Diaz said his nephew is survived by an eight-year-old son and two-year-old daughter.
The viewing for Perez will take place at 5 p.m. at San Jose Funeral home at 250 East 4th Avenue.
The viewing for the Pisciottis will be at 6 p.m, with burial at at 9:20 a.m. Thursday at the Vista Memorial Gardens funeral home, located at 14200 NW 57th Ave. in Miami Lakes.

I hesitate to tell you more than the title of this book for fear you'll doubt it as much as I did when I first heard about it, but I PROMISE you'd be pleasantly surprised if you decided to read it. It is wonderful. So here goes a quick and dirty description of the book.
The book is young adult fiction (like Harry Potter, but better.) Twilight is about a young girl who falls in love... with a vampire. (Yes! I know that is weird. That's why I hesitated.) It's hard to explain, but the vampire aspect of this book isn't what makes it so outstanding. It's the simplicity and sweetness of their new love. I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear while I read it. I have started the second in the series called New Moon and it is equally great but in different ways.
Please. I am begging all women who read this blog. Please read this book. Read the series. Pre-order your copy of the fourth and final book in the series due to be out on August 2nd. It is just too great. I love it!

We live in a heartbreaking and a dangerous world. I recently grieved with a friend and a community the shocking loss of their healthy, twelve-year-old daughter, I cried out to God with our nation at senseless devastating massacres, and glued my eyes to news stories of natural disasters with prayers and whatever support I could muster. It is somewhat expected when I wake up in the morning, I wonder, "what bomb or tragedy or unparalleled devastation will I learn about today and have to fit into my worldview next?"
This barrage of information is actually a new phenomenon that our modern minds and hearts need training to handle. Devastation has always occurred throughout history, but humanity never had the instantaneous information on little devices in their hands of every major tragedy happening in every corner of the globe. To keep our hearts from crushing under the weight of the knowledge of all the world's calamities, we have to develop the ability to bear the burden of knowledge without losing ourselves in fear, worry, and depression.
Here are eight suggestions to keep your heart alive in an age of unknown and impending tragedy. (Note: Others can discuss the readiness and precautions necessary, these are tools for our soul).
Win with joy: If bad people want to do us harm, all they need to do is force us to live in fear and they steal our joy. Choose to live with joy, even in the face of unknown future disaster and we win.
Waste wastefulness: Time can never be replaced but is our most valuable resource. When our lives are often uneventful we get lulled into time-wasting habits: clickbait, constant binge-watching, shopping for more unnecessary stuff or whatever else makes the hours fly by. These are like junk food for our soul. Anyone who faces a near death experience gets an instant perspective on the value of time and never wasting a moment. Take advantage of the life you have and live it to the full.
Get help: If there is a struggle in your soul, there's no time to mess around pretending that you can take care of things on your own. So that you can remove the barriers to your joy and life to the full just get humble and get help and move on from that thing blocking your path.
Drive out fear: Fear is like a bird it will always fly around our heads. As Martin Luther said: "You cannot keep birds from flying over your head but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair." If you can't go out into the world and experience joy because of gripping fear then you have some work to do. You'll need to dig into the next suggestion.
Face death: We are all dying, it's just a matter of when. It sounds extreme to mention this, but death is the greatest fear many of us carry which is why unpredictable tragedy can be so scary. The only way to overcome fear is to internalize this Biblical truth "Perfect love drives out fear" (1 John 4:18). It is the perfect love of Jesus Christ who has made a way for life to the full now and life beyond death when our time comes. We don't need to fear because His love covers us.
Control what you can control: There are some things we can control. Be smart, observe surroundings and dangers, train your kids to do the same etc. Beyond this the only thing we can control is our own head. Dwell on all the things that can go wrong at any possible moment and welcome to a life of misery. Choose to control what you can including your own thoughts and move on to live a great life.
Grow your gratitude: Occasionally, when I notice my head is going a little off the rails, I sit back and start listing the amazing things and people God has poured into my life. Fear has no grip in the face of gratitude. Watch the power of gratitude pull your heart out of the gutter and build that habit into your life.
Serve others: If humanity continues in a downward spiral of hate towards one another, violence will compound. The only way to fight against hate is through loving service. When someone is broken and in need, show them love, bring patience, model the behavior you want to see and receive. We must infuse light into this dark world with how we live if we want the darkness to recede.

ROGERS, AR (KFSM) – A Rogers man is facing child pornography charges after officers allegedly found more than 100 explicit images on a hard drive inside the man's home in March.
Peng Chanthalangsy, 37, is facing charges of possession and receipt of child pornography, according to an affidavit.
Officers served a search warrant at Chanthalangsy's West Olive Street home on March 13 for suspected drug charges, the document states. During that search, officers seized some digital devices.
While investigating those devices for the drug charges, an examiner found several images of child pornography and child erotica on a hard drive, the document states. In total, more than 100 images and three videos of child pornography were found, with the child victims ranging in age from 3-12 years old.
Chanthalangsy was arrested on April 6 and taken to the Benton County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond.

The Muddy Puddles Project is a celebration of children and childhood. It is a shift toward letting go of the everyday stress of being a grownup, and finding the fun in all things messy. We consider this celebration of childhood a therapeutic reprieve for parents, and an opportunity for our kids to have more fun while they still appreciate what that means.
The Muddy Puddles Project was inspired by five-year old Ty Campbell, a little boy who absolutely LOVED Peppa Pig and dreamed of jumping in muddy puddles just like her when his cancer was cured. The project embodies the act of kids being kids in honor of those who can't.
At its core, The Muddy Puddles Project is a vehicle to remind parents to stop sweating the small stuff; but it is also a fundraising platform for the Ty Louis Campbell (TLC) Foundation in support of childhood cancer research. After Ty lost his battle with cancer, his parents committed to finding ways to fund innovative research geared toward safer, more effective treatment of various childhood cancers. It is the perfect vehicle to engage children in philanthropy because it encourages them to have fun while doing good.
Imagine the fun and reward of hosting a Wellies Walk in your neighborhood!
If you'd like more information, visit the Muddy Puddles Project site. From there you can find out everything you need to know to host.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced June 1 that it has sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its downstream oil and gas businesses, including the DeltaValve, TapcoEnpro International (TEI) and Groquip business units, to affiliates of Sun Capital Partners Group.
"This transaction represents another critical milestone in our long-term strategy to improve operating margins, increase cash flow, and position Curtiss-Wright for sustained growth," said David C. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation, in a press release. "Similar to the sale of our upstream oil and gas business, we did not possess sufficient critical mass to achieve leading positions across the downstream oil and gas markets served by these assets. The divestiture of these non-core operations will enable us to further focus on becoming a top-quartile performer in our peer group."

(Based on breed recognition. See store for details on this particular puppy.)
The Dachshund, a member of the hound group, was bred to scent, chase and drive out badgers and other hole-dwelling animals as well as to hunt prairie dogs. The Dachshund was first bred in the 17th century in Germany. There are three varieties of Dachshund: short-haired or smooth, long-haired and wire-haired. This review is about the short-haired or smooth Dachshund.
Small, up to 8-11" at the shoulders, weighing up to 11 pounds. This breed is long, sturdy and muscular, with short and stubby legs. The paws are uncommonly large and paddle-shaped for efficient digging to force prey out of their burrows. The body skin is loose so not to tear while tunneling in tight spaces. The dachshund has a deep chest to accommodate lung capacity when hunting, with a long nose for increased scenting ability. The short, hard coat comes in solid colors of black, red, chocolate, tan, fawn, crème/wheaton, blue, bi-color variations, brindle variations, dapple variations, tri-color, and piebald.
The Dachshund has a life expectancy of 12-15 years and is prone to eye disorders, spinal diseases, urinary tract infections, heart disease and diabetes. They also like to eat and easily gain weight, which puts increased pressure on a delicate spine.
The Dachshund is the tiny dog of courage. Bred to hunt alone, they are highly independent and can become overassertive and argumentative. This can make your training somewhat challenging. You need to be a calm, knowledgeable, and humane owner giving consistent and committed leadership to your Dachshund using only motivational training methods. They are bred to dig and burrow, so be ready to give your Dachshund a digging pit and teach him or her to use it. Your digging Dachshund will also like to burrow under your bedding, which is pretty cute. Wary of strangers, you will need to socialize your Dachshund, and then socialize more, to prevent any guarding issues from developing. This breed has high prey drive, likes to chase and roam, so a fence is necessary. This amusing, brave, alert, clever, and loving little dog is well worth your patient teaching to enjoy with wonderful little companion.
The Dachshund is an active breed, and requires a daily walk and off-leash play and running in a safe, fenced area. They also need mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destruction, so be sure to provide your Dachshund with plenty of interactive toys that challenge their problem-solving skills. A bored Dachshund can develop anxiety and stress issues.
|Grooming Requirements:
|Requires regular brushing and bathing
|Average shedding
|No, due to shedding
|Apartment Living:
|Good for apartment living if given sufficient exercise
|Lap Dog:
|Good With Children:
|Best with older children who understand how to respect this small breed. They do not tolerate rough housing; can be unpredictable with children and even with unfamiliar adults. This breed needs a lot of socialization when a puppy.
|Good With Other Pets:
|Good with other dogs (especially other Dachshunds) when socialized while a puppy; not trustworthy with non-canine pets due to hunting instinct.
Low to ground, long in body and short of leg, with robust muscular development; the skin is elastic and pliable without excessive wrinkling. Appearing neither crippled, awkward, nor cramped in his capacity for movement, the Dachshund is well-balanced with bold and confident head carriage and intelligent, alert facial expression. His hunting spirit, good nose, loud tongue and distinctive build make him well-suited for below-ground work and for beating the bush. His keen nose gives him an advantage over most other breeds for trailing. NOTE: Inasmuch as the Dachshund is a hunting dog, scars from honorable wounds shall not be considered a fault.
Bred and shown in two sizes, standard and miniature; miniatures are not a separate classification but compete in a class division for "11 pounds and under at 12 months of age and older." Weight of the standard size is usually between 16 and 32 pounds.
Viewed from above or from the side, the head tapers uniformly to the tip of the nose. The eyes are of medium size, almond-shaped and dark-rimmed, with an energetic, pleasant expression; not piercing; very dark in color. The bridge bones over the eyes are strongly prominent. Wall eyes, except in the case of dappled dogs, are a serious fault. The ears are set near the top of the head, not too far forward, of moderate length, rounded, not narrow, pointed, or folded. Their carriage, when animated, is with the forward edge just touching the cheek so that the ears frame the face. The skull is slightly arched, neither too broad nor too narrow, and slopes gradually with little perceptible stop into the finely-formed, slightly arched muzzle, giving a Roman appearance. Lips are tightly stretched, well covering the lower jaw. Nostrils well open. Jaws opening wide and hinged well back of the eyes, with strongly developed bones and teeth. Teeth-Powerful canine teeth; teeth fit closely together in a scissors bite. An even bite is a minor fault. Any other deviation is a serious fault.
Long, muscular, clean-cut, without dewlap, slightly arched in the nape, flowing gracefully into the shoulders without creating the impression of a right angle.
The trunk is long and fully muscled. When viewed in profile, the back lies in the straightest possible line between the withers and the short, very slightly arched loin. A body that hangs loosely between the shoulders is a serious fault. Abdomen-Slightly drawn up.
For effective underground work, the front must be strong, deep, long and cleanly muscled. Forequarters in detail: Chest -The breast-bone is strongly prominent in front so that on either side a depression or dimple appears. When viewed from the front, the thorax appears oval and extends downward to the mid-point of the forearm. The enclosing structure of the well-sprung ribs appears full and oval to allow, by its ample capacity, complete development of heart and lungs. The keel merges gradually into the line of the abdomen and extends well beyond the front legs. Viewed in profile, the lowest point of the breast line is covered by the front leg. Shoulder blades-long, broad, well-laid back and firmly placed upon the fully developed thorax, closely fitted at the withers, furnished with hard yet pliable muscles. Upper Arm-Ideally the same length as the shoulder blade and at right angles to the latter, strong of bone and hard of muscle, lying close to the ribs, with elbows close to the body, yet capable of free movement. Forearm–Short; supplied with hard yet pliable muscles on the front and outside, with tightly stretched tendons on the inside and at the back, slightly curved inwards. The joints between the forearms and the feet (wrists) are closer together than the shoulder joints, so that the front does not appear absolutely straight. The inclined shoulder blades, upper arms and curved forearms form parentheses that enclose the ribcage, creating the correct "wraparound front." Knuckling over is a disqualifying fault. Feet-Front paws are full, tight, compact, with well-arched toes and tough, thick pads. They may be equally inclined a trifle outward. There are five toes, four in use, close together with a pronounced arch and strong, short nails. Front dewclaws may be removed.
Strong and cleanly muscled. The pelvis, the thigh, the second thigh, and the rear pastern are ideally the same length and give the appearance of a series of right angles. From the rear, the thighs are strong and powerful. The legs turn neither in nor out. Rear pasterns - Short and strong, perpendicular to the second thigh bone. When viewed from behind, they are upright and parallel. Feet-Hind Paws - Smaller than the front paws with four compactly closed and arched toes with tough, thick pads. The entire foot points straight ahead and is balanced equally on the ball and not merely on the toes. Rear dewclaws should be removed.Croup- Long, rounded and full, sinking slightly toward the tail. Tail-Set in continuation of the spine, extending without kinks, twists, or pronounced curvature, and not carried too gaily.
Fluid and smooth. Forelegs reach well forward, without much lift, in unison with the driving action of hind legs. The correct shoulder assembly and well-fitted elbows allow the long, free stride in front. Viewed from the front, the legs do not move in exact parallel planes, but incline slightly inward. Hind legs drive on a line with the forelegs, with hock joints and rear pasterns (metatarsus) turning neither in nor out. The propulsion of the hind leg depends on the dog's ability to carry the hind leg to complete extension. Viewed in profile, the forward reach of the hind leg equals the rear extension. The thrust of correct movement is seen when the rear pads are clearly exposed during rear extension. Rear feet do not reach upward toward the abdomen and there is no appearance of walking on the rear pasterns.Feet must travel parallel to the line of motion with no tendency to swing out, cross over, or interfere with each other. Short, choppy movement, rolling or high-stepping gait, close or overly wide coming or going are incorrect. The Dachshund must have agility, freedom of movement, and endurance to do the work for which he was developed.
The Dachshund is clever, lively and courageous to the point of rashness, persevering in above- and below-ground work, with all the senses well-developed. Any display of shyness is a serious fault.
Special Characteristics of the Three Coat VarietiesThe Dachshund is bred with three varieties of coat: (1) Smooth; (2) Wirehaired; (3) Longhaired and is shown in two sizes, standard and miniature. All three varieties and both sizes must conform to the characteristics already specified. The following features are applicable for each variety:
Smooth Dachshund
Coat-Short, smooth and shining. Should be neither too long nor too thick. Ears not leathery. Tail-Gradually tapered to a point, well but not too richly haired. Long sleek bristles on the underside are considered a patch of strong-growing hair, not a fault. A brush tail is a fault, as is also a partly or wholly hairless tail.
Color of Hair-Although base color is immaterial, certain patterns and basic colors predominate. One-colored Dachshunds include red and cream, with or without a shading of interspersed dark hairs. A small amount of white on the chest is acceptable, but not desirable. Nose and nails-black.
Two-colored Dachshunds include black, chocolate, wild boar, gray (blue) and fawn (Isabella), each with deep, rich tan or cream markings over the eyes, on the sides of the jaw and underlip, on the inner edge of the ear, front, breast, sometimes on the throat, inside and behind the front legs, on the paws and around the anus, and from there to about one-third to one-half of the length of the tail on the underside. Undue prominence of tan or cream markings is undesirable. A small amount of white on the chest is acceptable but not desirable. Nose and nails-in the case of black dogs, black; for chocolate and all other colors, dark brown, but self-colored is acceptable.
Dappled dachshunds-The dapple (merle) pattern is expressed as lighter-colored areas contrasting with the darker base color, which may be any acceptable color. Neither the light nor the dark color should predominate. Nose and nails are the same as for one- and two-colored Dachshunds. Partial or wholly blue (wall) eyes are as acceptable as dark eyes. A large area of white on the chest of a dapple is permissible.
Brindle is a pattern (as opposed to a color) in which black or dark stripes occur over the entire body although in some specimens the pattern may be visible only in the tan points.
Sable-the sable pattern consists of a uniform dark overlay on red dogs. The overlay hairs are double-pigmented, with the tip of each hair much darker than the base color. The pattern usually displays a widow's peak on the head. Nose, nails and eye rims are black. Eyes are dark, the darker the better.
Wirehaired Dachshunds
Coat-With the exception of jaw, eyebrows, and ears, the whole body is covered with a uniform tight, short, thick, rough, hard, outer coat but with finer, somewhat softer, shorter hairs (undercoat) everywhere distributed between the coarser hairs. The absence of an undercoat is a fault. The distinctive facial furnishings include a beard and eyebrows. On the ears the hair is shorter than on the body, almost smooth. The general arrangement of the hair is such that the wirehaired Dachshund, when viewed from a distance, resembles the smooth. Any sort of soft hair in the outercoat, wherever found on the body, especially on the top of the head, is a fault. The same is true of long, curly, or wavy hair, or hair that sticks out irregularly in all directions. Tail-Robust, thickly haired, gradually tapering to a point. A flag tail is a fault. Color of Hair-While the most common colors are wild boar, black and tan, and various shades of red, all colors and patterns listed above are admissible.
Wild boar (agouti) appears as banding of the individual hairs and imparts an overall grizzled effect which is most often seen on wirehaired Dachshunds, but may also appear on other coats. Tan points may or may not be evident. Variations include red boar and chocolate-and-tan boar. Nose, nails and eye rims are black on wild-boar and red-boar dachshunds. On chocolate-and-tan-boar dachshunds, nose, nails, eye rims and eyes are self-colored, the darker the better.
A small amount of white on the chest, although acceptable, is not desirable. Nose and nails-same as for the smooth variety.
Longhaired Dachshund
Coat - The sleek, glistening, often slightly wavy hair is longer under the neck and on forechest, the underside of the body, the ears and behind the legs. The coat gives the dog an elegant appearance. Short hair on the ear is not desirable. Too profuse a coat which masks type, equally long hair over the whole body, a curly coat, or a pronounced parting on the back are faults. Tail-Carried gracefully in prolongation of the spine; the hair attains its greatest length here and forms a veritable flag. Color of Hair-Same as for the smooth Dachshund. Nose and nails-same as for the smooth.
The foregoing description is that of the ideal Dachshund. Any deviation from the above described dog must be penalized to the extent of the deviation keeping in mind the importance of the contribution of the various features toward the basic original purpose of the breed.

PM Manmohan Singh meets Gilani
The meeting on the sidelines of the 17th SAARC summit comes a week after Pakistan took a path-breaking decision to confer MFN status to India 16 years after it got a similar treatment from New Delhi and the return of the Indian Air Force`s helicopter which had strayed into Pak-occupied Kashmir across the LoC last month.
The two Prime Ministers met in a beach cottage in Shangrilla resort along the Indian Ocean and discussed a whole range of issues, including the need for Islamabad to take action against the 26/11 perpetrators and build on the recent Pakistani decision to grant the MFN status to India.
Before the meeting, the two prime ministers shook hands and posed for photos. When the photographers pressed for a hand shake again Gilani responded "once more" and the two leaders shook again for the shutterbox.
This was followed by a brief delegation level talks after which the two leaders met separately. The delegation members included External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon and Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai.
From the Pakistani side, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir and Interior Minister Rehman Malik were among those present.
Singh and Gilani are meeting for the second time this year after their discussions on the margins of the Indo-Pak encounter in the Cricket world cup match in Mohali and third time in 18 months after their talks on the sidelines of the previous SAARC summit in Bhutan last year.
Ahead of the Singh-Gilani parleys, Krishna met Khar at least thrice on Wednesday.
Krishna said there was "shrinking" trust deficit between the two countries though he asked Pakistan not to allow terrorism from its soil. Khar reciprocated by saying that her country`s soil would not be allowed to carry out terror attacks.
Khar also insisted that her country would not backtrack on the decision to confer MFN status to India, saying it was part of normalisation of ties between the two countries. "Relations with India are complex and complicated and we want tomorrow to lead today, rather than yesterday to define today and tomorrow," she said.
