In August, two of our alumni members, Chelcie and Ime, took part in a charity skydive as part of our 20th anniversary challenge fundraising activities. They wanted to raise much-needed funds for The Brokerage and show their appreciation for the support they received through the City of London Business Traineeship (CBT) programme.
Feeling a little nervous, the two former CBT candidates signed up to do a tandem skydive at Cambridgeshire Airfield. It was a very early start but, speaking to Ime and Chelcie afterwards, it seems they thoroughly enjoyed it!
'I wanted to do something to give back to The Brokerage for all the support and opportunities they've given me over the years. When the opportunity to do a Skydive came up, I jumped at it as a chance to challenge myself to do something different and I'm glad I did – it was an amazing and terrifying experience! I'm so grateful for everything The Brokerage has done for me and to everyone who has supported my fundraising.' Chelcie
'Being a bit of a thrill seeker and having skydived before, completing a jump to fundraise for The Brokerage made perfect sense. Chelcie and I received a huge amount of support and raised a lot of money we know will be put to good use helping young people who used to be where we were a few years ago. The experience was indescribable and I particularly enjoyed the freefall. I'm quite pleased I didn't yell any profanities on the way down this time..' Ime
They've both had fantastic support from their friends, family and colleagues and between them have raised £1,630.23!
Your money will help The Brokerage to provide more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with experiences of work, employability skills and jobs.
A massive well done and thank you to Ime and Chelcie.
If you'd like to do a skydive, or do something else, to raise money for us, please email Joanne. For inspiration, take a look at our fundraising page!

The Tea Party has become an establishment group that is redirecting its supporters back into the mainstream Republican Party. Patriots in name only show us who they really are through their actions. Here is just one example of an establishment representative masquerading as a Tea Party patriot.
It is generally known that the Republican party in Utah is very worried about the freedom movement taking shape. The dissatisfaction of the people in Utah is being dealt with by an establishment effort to appear to support states' rights. You can put lipstick on a pig… but it's still an establishment anti-constitutional pig.
Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, was the keynote speaker at the Tea Party Express in Utah this weekend. He usually shows up as the token establishment leader of Tea Party events in Utah. General Shurtleff is also leading the charge against Obamacare, portraying himself as a freedom fighter against federal tyranny. Even local NBC affiliate KSL admits General Shurtleff is being positioned as the national poster boy for the lawsuit against Obamacare. But what is General Shurtleff's political history? Does he know the proper role of government under the Constitution?
As Attorney General for the state of Utah, Mark Shurtleff has tried to position himself as a powerful player. He has always been known as more of a lobbyist pushing for unconstitutional state legislation than just an acting A.G.
According to local watch dog group, Accountability Utah, Shurtleff has led the charge against innocent families and babies in the womb, ignored criminal behavior by government agents, and pursued pet projects such as property confiscation schemes against innocent owners and thought crimes legislation.

§ 2382. Misprision of treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.
Mark Shurtleff Against Natural Parental Rights
If you're not familiar with the Parker Jensen case in Utah, here is what happened: In 2003, twelve year old Parker Jensen was diagnosed with cancer. Parker's Utah doctor insisted the boy be subjected to chemotherapy. When the parents resisted and tried to seek second opinions, expressing a desire to consider alternative therapies to chemo, the doctor filed a complaint with the Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) who moved rapidly to take custody of the child from the parents. The parents fled the state rather than submit to this derogation of parental rights. The State, in turn, charged the parents with kidnapping and got the FBI involved, who used their ample surveillance tools to quickly track down the parents in Idaho. P&S
With General Shurtleff's obivous love for Parker in hand he viciously went after the Jensens. When The Jensens sought help for their son Parker with alternative medicine at the Burzynski cancer clinic. "The Utah Attorney General's Office and Guardian ad Litem's (GAL) Office ordered three licensed and registered doctors of Western medicine at the Burzynski Clinic to violate their Hippocratic Oath and to deny Parker "any form of treatment".
Eventually the Jensens beat the state. They did not have to submit to state sanctioned kidnapping and forced medical treatments. Parker is a young man with no health problems now. But the state Attorney General's Office under Shurtleff had to shake their finger one last time. "The [Jensen] case, which is being viewed by parents-rights groups as a landmark decision, won't set a precedent… It is completely fact-specific and should not be taken as a sign that families who are in a similar situation will win and the state will just walk away," said Mark May, head of child protection with the state Attorney General's Office.
In 2003 General Shurtleff heavily lobbied the Utah State Legislature for the passage of Senate bill 31. SB 31 was an asset forfeiture bill that would have allowed the state of Utah to confiscate anyone's private property before being convicted of any crime, without a trial by jury. The proceeds of the confiscations would then go to the police that stole the property.
General Shurtleff held a press conference to gain support for SB31. According to Accountability Utah, "After the last speaker, the press conference was shut down which allowed General Shurtleff to evade hard questions that could have been, and would have been asked." Seeing the opposition talking to the press after the conference, General Shurtleff came over to confront them. "General Shurtleff approached me and wanted to know why I had been silent. I told him that I had addressed about 100 people last weekend in the meeting in which bill sponsor John Valentine withdrew his support. A lively interchange ensued, and he asked if I was willing to work the bill with him to protect property owners and direct forfeiture proceeds to police. I told him that directing proceeds to the police was an unacceptable conflict of interest. Since I was unable to "help" him on his terms, he walked off. Shurtleff then attempted to insult Daniel Newby, a prominent opponent of Shurtleff's attack on your right to own property. Upon being challenged for behaving like a legislator, Shurtleff stated, "you Daniel Newby, who have never had one bit of life experience, who sits in his ivory tower…" Since when is respecting and understanding a natural, God given right to private property, sitting in an "Ivory Tower?"
"There are only three or four states left who don't have one [i.e. thought crimes statute], and for me, that's an embarrassment." — General Mark Shurtleff
"Those crimes that are most damaging to society are the crimes based on the fact that you might be a woman, or a black, or a homosexual. My agenda is to protect the public." — General Mark Shurtleff, regarding this year's attempt to pass thought crimes legislation (HB 68). And what of the members of the public who are not black, a woman, or a homosexual? Should they take their places in the back of the bus?
Source: "House panel guts hate crimes bill before killing it," Rebecca Walsh, Salt Lake Tribune, Feb. 20, 2004.
In typical establishment fashion, General Shurtleff says one thing, then behind the scenes does another.
Source: General Shurtleff's campaign website athttp://www.markshurtleff.com/issues.htm#abortion
Shurtleff is not someone that believes he needs to follow the Constitution.
"My job is to enforce the laws, I don't make the laws." — General Mark Shurtleff. If his job is to enforce, not make laws, why does he lobby for legislation like thought crimes, property confiscation, increased powers for DCFS, etc? He shadows legislators so closely, even lobbyists seem jealous.
Source: "Attorney general hopefuls spar in Dixie," Nancy Perkins, Deseret News, Oct. 8, 2004.
This is just one example of the many establishment politicians representing themselves as Tea Partiers. If this is the kind of leader the Tea Party is supporting then who needs the Tea party? The Tea Party movement has obviously been co-opted. General Shurtleff is now carrying the torch for Utah against Obamacare. Last week Judge Napolitano sounded the alarm that the state lawsuits against Obamacare are a ruse meant to fail. Isn't General Shurtleff the perfect candidate to lead the charge for losing this important fight to the establishment agenda?
It's time for patriots and freedom lovers to recoginize what has happened to the Tea Party. We need to go back to the "End the Fed" Movement. It would be much more difficult for the establishment to divert End the Fed groups since the goal is built into the title. I encourage everyone to dump the co-opted tea party and support citizen candidates and real grassroots groups. End the Fed,Campaign for Liberty, We are Change , Tax Free 15, Dr Vieira's Committees of Safety, Appleseed Project – As AJ says, don't wait for orders from headquarters… Go, Go, Go!

Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria
Page: 149Hormuzd Rassam
The lamented death of Smith caused the British authorities to request Mr Hormuzd Rassam, who had retired into private life in England, to take up the vacant post. Mr Rassam at once accepted the trust, and started for Constantinople in November 1876. At first there was serious trouble with the Turkish Government, but in January 1878 Rassam was enabled to commence excavations, which he carried on almost continuously for five years. Layard, as ambassador at Constantinople, stood him in good stead. He took much advantage of native talent, which, if not up to the standard of European efficiency, he found in no wise despicable. But too many excavations were being carried on at one and the same time. Again, Rassam was prone to attempt sensational finds rather than to keep steadily at the more solid and less showy work of excavation. Guided by certain indications of the presence of objects of the Shalmaneser period at Kouyunjik, he dug there once more and succeeded in unearthing the bronze plaques which had covered the cedar gates of a large Assyrian building at least 2500 years old, and built by Shalmaneser II. They represented warriors and equestrian figures, and it was found that the site on which they were discovered had been the city of Imgur-Bel. Rassam also recovered further clay tablets from the library of Assur-bani-pal at Kouyunjik. With his return to England in 1882 it may be said that the Assyrian[Pg 355] excavations of the nineteenth century, in contradistinction to those carried out on Babylonian soil, came to an end.
De Sarzec
With the excavations of the Frenchman de Sarzec at Tellô the second great period of Chaldean archæological research may be said to have commenced. Ernest de Sarzec was French Vice-consul at Basra, but by his private efforts he succeeded in making Tellô 'the Pompeii of early Babylonian antiquity.' The two principal mounds excavated by him are known to Assyriologists as 'Mound A' and 'Mound B.' Digging in the former he soon collected sufficient evidence to convince him that he stood on a site of great antiquity. He found indeed that Mound A consisted of a platform of unbaked bricks crowned by an edifice of considerable size and extent. He unearthed part of a great statue, on the shoulder of which was engraved the name of Gudea (2700 B.C.), patesi, or ruler, of Lagash, with which city Mound A proved to be identical, and later exposed numerous large columns of bricks of the time of Gudea, the 'stele of vultures' erected by King E-anna-tum, and two large terra-cotta cylinders of Gudea, each inscribed with about 2000 lines of early cuneiform writing.
On a later visit, at the end of 1880 and beginning of 1881, he further developed excavation in Mound A, and discovered nine large dolerite statues, fragments of precious bas-reliefs, and numerous inscriptions. He also came upon layers of more ancient remains beneath the building he had unearthed in Mound A.
The collection of early Babylonian sculptures regained[Pg 356] by de Sarzec was hailed with acclamation in Paris. An Oriental section was instituted in the Louvre, and Léon Heuzy commenced the publication of a monumental work, Découvertes en Chaldée par Ernest de Sarzec (Paris, 1884,

Modern design enthusiasts will appreciate the understated style of platform beds . These beds lie close to the ground and help to create the illusion of a larger space. Typically they are available in fashionable wood colors like white, espresso and black. Platform beds also do not require a boxspring mattress which can translate into a further cost savings for you.
Twin size beds are a great choice for your child's bedroom while full size beds are ideal for either the teenage bedroom or the guest bedroom. Queen size beds and king size beds are naturally our most popular sizes, since they work perfectly for that master bedroom suite. Choose the design style that is right for you. We have modern wood beds, comfy upholstered beds, metal beds and more to choose from.

I work with perceptive school leaders who want their teachers to understand Diversity and Inclusion & seek the confidence and classroom results that knowledge produces.
I was invited to talk with the dynamic faculty at the Times2 STEM Academy in Providence, Rhode Island. My presentation was followed by a fantastic walk through the evolving Federal Hill neighborhood. I was treated to the warmth of the Dominican and Puerto Rican majority community and I got to see what excellent school leadership (that respects the community) looks like up close. Go Dr. Carrie McWilliams!

The Edible Acre is a vibrant community garden adjacent to Evanston Township High School (ETHS). The 5,000-square-foot plot, often tangled with tomato vines, piled with spinach leaves, or blanketed by carrot tops, sends all of its produce directly to ETHS students. When it comes to nutrition services, ETHS has differentiated itself from similar gargantuan educational institutions by becoming the pilot school for the FarmLogix Local Sourcing Program, an online tool that facilitates local food sourcing. The term 'local,' however, takes on a whole new meaning when plants are visible from the school's main entrance.
Built in 2009, the Edible Acre is a joint initiative by The Talking Farm and ETHS. It was originally constructed and maintained by groups of students from the horticulture class, Senior Studies, Community Service Club, and Green Team. Upon reevaluating the project in 2012, Kim Minestra, now director of nutrition services, decided it was time to push it further. So she enlisted Matt Ryan, the Farm Manager at The Talking Farm.
"I realized that there was just more potential so I worked with Matt to create a crop plan so we could get as much harvest out of it as possible," says Minestra.
Since then, the Edible Acre has expanded considerably. 5,500 pounds of fresh, organic produce was harvested and served in ETHS cafeterias between 2012 and 2014, and a whopping 2,800 pounds were produced in 2015 alone. The collaboration has also grown to include the use of the ETHS greenhouse where seedlings are planted in the spring and summer, and herbs and greens grow during colder months. Last fall, an orchard of 55 fruit trees was planted on the north side of the school. Plans to add another 20-30 trees to the orchard this year are in the works.
Kim hopes a second garden will eventually be built to further increase the size and diversity of the harvests, but that process is still in early planning stages.
"I know a lot of schools are like, 'How do you do this? We don't have the labor, we don't have the time, we don't have the money,' and its really because we are lucky to have The Talking Farm local and wanting to do it," says Minestra.
Providing fresh, healthy food to as many people as we can, and utilizing community-based agriculture as a means of education are two of our primary ambitions at The Talking Farm. The Edible Acre project embodies both of these goals.

That article is alarmist and pointless, the author concocts imaginary issues where there really are none.
Consider that it is utterly, completely, totally immaterial whether or not a state-level law prohibits convicted felons from owning firearms. A state-level law will not, and can not, change the federal prohibition against this.
Any person harping on about a state constitutional provision that supposedly grants felons gun rights is either so amazingly ignorant that he or she shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place, or is simply making hyperbolic comments in order to rile up the ignorant and easily swayed fools that make up the low-information-voter block.
Most of the other issues raised in the article are equally absurd and unfounded.
Interesting. My copy of the 2nd mentions nothing about State vs. Fed.
However, those IN prison (felons) can and do have their Rights 'disabled' while serving their term.
The EX-felon, being again a Free Citizen, has the enjoyment of their Rights, fully restored.
The issue, as in most instances, is the twisted, pretzel logic used by gov't to further erode Rights. Either one is FREE, and thus has the same Rights as all Citizens, or one is still a danger to themselves and/or other Citizens that they should have not been released. Otherwise, there are 2+ sets of Citizens, and Equal Protection is out the window.

Four Famous Foods in Fukuoka
In August 2012 I returned to Fukuoka for the first time. In 2009-2010 I studied at Kyushu University as an exchange student, where I studied Japanese culture and linguistics and learned Japanese.
My return was part of a five-week trip from Tokyo to Shanghai via Nagasaki by boat. I spent about five days in Fukuoka meeting old friends, teachers, and my host family. (I also wrote a post about the temple of the Great Buddha.)
Today I want to share four of the most delicious things I ate in Fukuoka. Can you guess what they are?
4. Fugu bibimba
The Fukuoka Fuku Festival was all about showing off the versatility of fugu, a delicious poisonous pufferfish. I didn't find fugu sashimi very flavorful, but I once bought a bit and fried it with excellent results. At the festival was a very popular stall selling fugu bibimba (a Korean rice bowl) for 500 yen (~$6).
3. Tonkatsu, or pork cutlet
My friends recommended this place that serves tonkatsu, Japanese pork cutlet, among many other washoku, or Japanese-style, foods.
A tofu specialty restaurant was a favorite and a recommendation of my host mother's. She took a friend and me to eat there. The decor was very "Japanese" to our eyes, and the many variations on tofu were amusing and creative, like tofu croquette and tofu hamburger. I went for the latter, with no regrets. It came with steamed vegetables in a wooden box.
Now anyone familiar with me or Fukuoka will certainly guess what tops my list. The historic neighborhood in downtown Fukuoka known as Hakata is practically synonymous with Hakata ramen, a tasty noodle soup made a broth brewed from pork bones. Japan is home to many good ramens, and tonkotsu is king and queen of them all. (Am I biased?) I was overjoyed when Ippudō, Fukuoka's best known chain, with branches in Hong Kong, New York, etc., opened a branch in Shanghai. Feast your eyes on Hakata ramen!
Have you eaten any of these foods? Please comment on your favorite Japanese foods!
The Fukuoka Fuku Festival
In August last year, I returned to Fukuoka, Japan. I was an exchange student at Kyushu University in Fukuoka during my second year of university, in 2009 and '10. My late summer visit in 2012 was the first time I had returned to Fukuoka. Many friends were still in school, and I made new friends in an old city.
My friend Kaya and I spent an evening at Hakata Pier (Hakata Futoh), where many people were dancing as part of the Fukuoka Fuku Festival. The name is a play on words, as fuku means 'happiness' and fugu is everyone's favorite (eminently edible) poisonous pufferfish. Showcasing the culinary versatility of fugu through food stands was the theme of the night, along with dancing and fireworks.

Feedback About Simple Bead Patterns:
"Honestly, I am remedial when it comes to bead weaving but, HANDS DOWN!, this tutorial provided the most clear, easy to read and follow instructions I have ever seen. It makes other bead weaving tutorials that also have a good rep for being "easy to read and follow" pale by comparison. I made my earrings without any coaching whatsoever and I can't wait to do the matching bracelet." - Pam
"I started and I can't believe I'm actually doing it! The instructions are very precise, clear and easy to understand. I am impressed with the overall quality of the instructions. They are very professional while still maintaining that bubbly, friendly atmosphere that I feel when I look at their website." - Alisa

As I sit here, writing and thinking over the last 2 years, I am speechless. When I first started this blog I had no idea where it would take me and how it would fuel my passion. I was making adjustments on my blog a couple nights ago, as I poured over my initial blog posts I had to laugh. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was going for it. This whole journey has been self-taught. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have branded myself and created something I am proud of.
This is not only a creative outlet for me but one I feel I can make an impact through. It was only a year ago that I shared about my eating disorder and my recovery journey. The outpouring of support still has me amazed. Just 8 months ago I shared about our miscarriage and again was accepted with arms wide open. Sharing about these personal journeys has not only freed me and helped me to listen to the Lord more intently but to also help women along the same journey overcome their sorrows.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you! To those who have traveled from the very beginning, rocky as the ride may have been. To those who joined along part of the way through. To those who may have just started this journey with me. Your support and encouragement are irreplaceable.
I want to say a special thanks to my sweet and supportive husband. To those who are married, you know that marriage isn't easy. To those who haven't yet experienced the blessing of marriage, know it has its ups and downs. Our marriage has been one that has taken work, forgiveness, humility, and selflessness. The road isn't easy. I know I wouldn't have accomplished as much as I have without Jason and without the triumphs of our marriage. It has been the most fundamental time of building my character. Through every up and down that we walk together, he is my #1 encourager and supporter. He loves to hear me talk about my passions, even when I start talking about HTML codes (nerd alert right here). Thank you honey for loving me and all my crazy ideas. You have helped me more than you know.
Here's to TWO very successful years of blogging, and here's to many many many more to come!
p.s. You can now easily shop my looks on Instagram and here (located at the bottom of this post)

Impromptu photo shoots are the best with this guy!

Who can get a smart meter?
Every household in Britain can get a smart meter as part of the national rollout. Your energy supplier will install them in your home at no extra cost. If you're the account holder who pays the energy bills, you are automatically entitled to one.
Here's what you need to know if you're:
Smart meters and prepay
If you're currently on a prepay meter, smart meters will offer you a lot of benefits. Prepay customers can continue to top up their meter at a shop, but smart meters will mean more options for topping up, for instance via your phone or tablet.
Getting a smart meter
To get a smart meter, you will need to contact your energy supplier. You can find more information about energy suppliers plans for installing smart meters here:
What are the benefits for me?
There are plenty of gadgets that can help control energy use, but smart meters have two unique features:
- they show exactly how much energy you're using and what it's costing, in near-real time
- they send accurate meter readings to your energy supplier, so no more estimated bills or manual meter readings
With your smart meter, you'll always be able to keep track of exactly how much gas and electricity you're using in near real time, and what it costs in pounds and pence. This means you can be confident that you're only paying for what you have actually used and you'll always know what to expect in your next bill, so no more nasty surprises.
Does having a smart meter make it easier to switch between payment modes (e.g. direct debit or prepay)?
Yes. New smart meters can operate and switch between modes, without an installer having to visit your house and change the meter.

ER (TV Series)
Such Sweet Sorrow (2000)
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Marguiles, Snakes on a Plane) has been in ER for six seasons altogether. Her lover, Dr. Doug Ross (George Clooney, The Perfect Storm), left earlier on in season 5. Carol missed him terribly, but did not fully convince herself to move away. She decided to stay. But, a mourning and grieving father that lost his wife explained to Carol that everyone has their soul mate. There is one person that we should spend the rest of our lives with.
That statement convinces Carol fully to quit her job at County General, board the first plane to Seattle, Washington, and reconnect with Doug for a permanent love relationship and possibly even marriage. So, Carol does leave ER at the end of this episode, but returns along with Doug in the final season of ER in early 2009.

Tour highlights and itinerary
Day one
Fly to Prague and transfer to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time, there may be time to explore. A delightful, pedestrianised city, Prague is crammed with bars and restaurants to suit most tastes and pockets.
Day two
Join our walking tour of Prague to see its exquisite Old Town. Cross the River Vltava, by the Charles Bridge, to the Hradcany district dominated by the imposing castle, great St Vitus' Cathedral and the historic Royal Palace. Afterwards, go exploring – perhaps in the city's many museums and galleries.
Day three
Today we head through the forests of Bohemia to the Slovakian capital of Bratislava, a cosmopolitan city of Baroque palaces and stunning churches. After a chance to explore, and our first glimpse of the Blue Danube, we continue to Budapest where you can enjoy an evening visiting the famous cafes.
Day four
Budapest is in fact two cities set astride the majestic Danube. One half is Buda, an elegant hillside of opulent buildings. Discover the medieval houses of the castle district, the frescoes in medieval Matyas Church and the spectacular views from Fishermen's Bastion.
The city's other half is Pest, a bustling hive of museums, galleries, thermal baths, restaurants and bars. See the Gothic Parliament beside the river and the colonnades and statues of Heroes' Square. You'll will also enjoy a Danube river cruise and, later, have the chance to join our optional folklore evening to enjoy traditional Hungarian food and music.
Day five
This afternoon we reach Vienna, capital of the Habsburg Empire and site of the world-famous Hofburg – home to the Spanish Riding School and the Vienna Boys' Choir. See the Baroque palaces, the cathedral and many museums, and wander the elegant arcades and famous Ringstrasse.
Day six
Join today's optional excursion to the Schonbrunn Palace. The magnificent building was an Imperial summer home, and its great apartments and opulent saloons once echoed with the music of the young Mozart. Alternatively, experience Vienna's charms, such as the famous Landtmann Kaffeehaus once frequented by Sigmund Freud and Gustav Mahler.
Day seven
Today we return to Prague through the wonderful South Bohemian countryside. This evening, why not take to the River Vltava for our optional dinner cruise and a final opportunity to enjoy Prague's stunning monuments? It's a perfect way to end a wonderful tour.
Day eight
Transfer back to the airport for check-in and your flight home.
Your hotels
Guests will be staying in a series of well-located hotels, all of which will be of at least three-star standard.
Among the hotels used are Prague's Hotel Manes; the Lion's Garden in Budapest and the Hotel Kaiser Franz Joseph in Vienna; all of which are four star.

Wholesaledeals.co.uk Scams-Is Wholesale Deals a Scam Directory?
Lately, many trade directories have been linked to scams. Some of them are charged for providing outdated and inaccurate information while some others were pulled up for overcharging their customers through hidden fees and high account opening fees. Wholesaledeals.co.uk is not one of these firms. The wholesaledeals.co.uk scam posts are rumours at best because they are not backed by any kind of evidence. In this article, we will provide answers to all these questions so as to clear your doubts.
The Truth behind Wholesaledeals.co.uk Scams
Wholesale Deals started as a wholesale supply firm in the year 2004. After a four year stint in wholesale trade, the company set up an online trade portal where traders can connect and sell their merchandise. What makes Wholesale Deals different from other trade directories is the fact that it keeps the interests of trade buyers above all. It is not just a sellers' directory that promotes the products of traders regardless of whether they have a legal business and provide reliable products and services or not. It has a strict verification process to check the legality of businesses that want to get included in its database. This rules out the possibility of scammers making a way into their lists, which eventually helps them in providing a safe and secure trading environment.
Though you may find wholesaledeals.co.uk scam posts on the Internet, it's wise not to believe them as they are not true. When Wholesale Deals stepped into the business of directory services, it warned its members about some wholesale scam firms. Some of these scammers could not take this and to hit back, they started circulating such reports. The sole aim of these reports is to bring bad name to Wholesale Deals and discourage traders from subscribing to its services.
The Wholesale Deals database of suppliers is huge and helps you buy products for your retail or wholesale business. There are a large number of suppliers in every product category. This makes it easy for you to locate product sources as per your requirements. Besides, it consistently brings you discount deals for profitable niches. Unlike other directories, it believes in collating deals for products that are in high demand and can help you earn good profits.
The directory understands that the competition in online selling space is high and for a business to sustain, it has do extensive research to decide what products to sell and at what prices, how to write listings, how to retain customers, and so forth. In order to save its members from spending long hours on researching, this directory brings you market research reports that help you make your business decisions.
Wholesale Deals is a powerhouse of information for traders. It helps traders in making the right choices and grow their businesses manifold. Moreover, for all these services, the directory charges you a nominal fee of £14.99.
Therefore, it is clear that some con firms that are not happy with the soaring popularity of Wholesale Deals, have created wholesaledeals.co.uk scam reports. It is wise not to pay any heed to such reports; else, you would forego your chances of associating with reliable suppliers and getting profitable deals. If you are looking for a mentor that could guide you at every step in your retailing or wholesaling business, you should register with Wholesale Deals.

Dan Paille shows his worth
Credit: Stuart Cahill
Daniel Paille went into the Stanley Cup playoffs with a clearly defined, fourth line role. And he may start next season in that role again.
However, Paille showed in the postseason that he could be a little more than that. He had 4-5-9 totals in 22 playoff games with three game-winning goals. With Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton, the so-called Merlot line, they performed well enough, especially in the New York and Pittsburgh series, to be thrown on the ice against the other teams' top six forwards with their energy controlling the shift.

Daren Mueller, Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology
During the 2011 season several foliar diseases were present in Iowa, including brown spot, Cercospora leaf blight and frogeye leaf spot. The disease that was noticeably higher in 2011 compared to previous years was frogeye leaf spot, at least in susceptible varieties. The pathogen that causes frogeye leaf spot, Cercospora sojina, has been in the news several times the past couple of years because of reports of resistance to strobilurin fungicides.
Because of these reports, Iowa State researchers collected leaves with frogeye leaf spot from our fungicide trials and sent the leaves to University of Illinois to be tested for sensitivity. All of the isolates collected from the Iowa leaves tested sensitive, which means that they are not resistant to strobilurin fungicides.
These leaves represent only a small percentage of frogeye leaf spot in Iowa. While the 2011 Iowa isolates were not resistant to strobilurin fungicides, it is still good to be thinking about long-term use of this important class of fungicides. Isolates of C. sojina resistant to strobilurins have been recovered from neighboring states, namely Illinois and Missouri. Since spores of the fungus are wind dispersed, the likelihood of resistant isolates being found in Iowa is real.
The possible development of resistant strains of the frogeye leaf spot pathogen to strobilurin fungicides should be a consideration as growers are deciding about foliar fungicides for 2012. Further advice from Dr. Carl Bradley, the scientist from Illinois leading the fungicide-resistance testing, is summarized in his article in early October.

NEW YORK CITY -- Manhattan Amusement, based here and owned by John Cullen, has settled a lawsuit brought by the Amusement And Music Owners Association of New York Inc. for violating business contracts copyrighted by AMOA-NY. Penalties paid by the operator and related settlement terms were not disclosed.
"The parties agreed to settle this matter in a manner consistent with recognition of the validity of the AMOA-NY copyrights," said AMOA-NY executive director Danny Frank. "This demonstrates that AMOA-NY copyrights can be enforced."
Frank added that AMOA-NY will continue its investigations and enforcement actions regarding contract violations. "Those parties who are using AMOA-NY copyrighted material without proper authorization would do best to come forward to our organization," he warned. "We will try to be cooperative in reaching a plan with them to achieve compliance."
The regional trade association announced its lawsuit against Manhattan Amusements in September. | SEE STORY

text: When you look down at your chest under your breasts are you ribs even? Is it flat there? I never noticed before but on the left side it comes up higher. I'm also noticing some breast tenderness more on that side. I'm wondering if I might have dislocated my rib. If I lay down or stand up even and look down it's just bigger on my left side, like where that rib is. I hope it's nothing worse. I'm due for my gyno checkup and I'll ask her but I'm just wondering if anyone has had anything similar. And of course I'm getting freaked that it could be something worse.

You may have heard already that Lehigh Defense, makers of some amazing ammunition, are now offering very high quality AR Bolts in 223/5.56, 5.45×39, 7.62×39, 6.8SPC, and 458 SOCOM. I recently got my hands on a Phosphate 223/5.56 and Nickel Boron 7.62×39 bolt and just from my initial inspection, they are very nice.
The bolts are done on one machine/station. This alleviates the stacking of tolerances from multiple fixtures. They keep their tolerances down to .0003" and have a propriety heat treat process which ensures consistent case hardness across the hole bolt as well as insuring consistent core hardness. The Bolt material is AISI 9310 VAR (vacuum arc remelt), which is the highest standard material used.
This weekend my plan is to get out to the range to test out both of these bolts. The Phosphate 223/5.56 will be used in my new SBR and the Nickel Boron 7.62×39 will be installed in my KAK Industry 7.62×39 AR Pistol.
If you're looking for a new high quality bolt for your AR or just want to have an extra one laying around, you'll be hard pressed to find nicer ones that these from Lehigh Defense. Check out their full list of available Bolts at www.LehighDefense.com.

I've been wearing Mary's Miraculous Medal as we prepare for the birth of our third child. Yesterday Madeline noticed my necklace was twisted and used her tiny fingers to bring the chain back around so that the medal would no longer fall at the back of my neck.
While Madeline gently repositioned the medal, she said, "Here, Mommy. Let me fix your necklace so that Mary will be watching over the baby and not your neck."
Her words made me chuckle of course, but her sensitivity also tugged at my heart. As a mom, I'm supposed to be the one protecting my children. Yet, sometimes it seems our roles reverse, and they're the ones looking out for me.

How staunch are you on this issue?
I cut myself shaving the other day and had a real bleeder. (I use a double-edged safety razor*, which gives me a much cleaner shave and fewer cuts that a cartridge, but when I do cut myself, it can be a doozy.) I was sticking some tissue to the cut to stop the bleeding, and it reminded me of an entry in the Associated Press Stylebook:
- stanch, staunch: Stanch is a verb: He stanched the flow of blood. Staunch is an adjective: She is a staunch supporter of equality.
The AP Stylebook is intended as a quick reference for journalists that helps them be correct and consistent on deadline. Sometimes, though, that means a loss of nuance, as I found to be the case with stanch and staunch when I began looking them up.
The American Heritage Dictionary hints that the distinction is not so absolute in a usage note under its entry for staunch:
- Staunch is more common than stanch as the spelling of the adjective. Stanch is more common than staunch as the spelling of the verb.
But it doesn't say that reversing that is wrong.
Before we go farther, here are the AHD definitions of the adjective:
- 1. Firm and steadfast; true. See synonyms at faithful.
- 2. Having a strong or substantial construction or constitution.
And the verb:
- 1. To stop the flowing of, as blood; to check; also, to stop the flowing of blood from; as, to stanch a wound.
- 2. To extinguish; to quench, as fire or thirst. Obsolete.
With the AHD not really clearing things up, I went to my Garner's Modern American Usage, which had this to say:
- staunch, stanch: Staunch is preferable as the adjective, stanch as the verb. But in practice the adjective is sometimes undesirably used as a verb. This verbal use of staunch is far more common in British English than American English.
So Garner isn't as absolute as the AP, but he does pass judgment that agrees with it. Then I checked my brand-new Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage:
- stanch, staunch: Fowler 1926 observed that the verb is usually spelled stanch and the adjective staunch. That observation stills holds true today. The verb and adjective are both derived from the Old French estancher, meaning "to stop the flow of; stanch." The two spelling variants have been in reputable use for centuries, and they are standard for both the verb and the adjective. (Emphasis added by TWTM.)
Merriam-Webster shows itself to be the free thinker on this issue: here's what most people do, but whatever you want to do is cool with me, man.
I like the idea of having two separate words that mean two different things, and I will probably maintain the distinction in my own writing. But it's interesting to know that, as is often the case, a "rule" like the one about stanch and staunch isn't as hard and fast as I was taught.
As mentioned in the Merriam-Webster entry, the words have a common etymology. Here's the AHD's version:
- From the Middle English stanchen, from the Old French estanchier, from Vulgar Latin stanticāre, meaning to stop, probably from the Latin stāns, stant-, the present participle of stāre, meaning to stand
* For any shaving geeks out there, I use the razor handle pictured, a Merkur #33C, most recently with Feather blades from Japan.

"We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The music was ABSOLUTELY beautiful. You helped make our day so majestic. I could not imagine had we not had you guys with us. The music just FILLED the air. I've never experienced that before, Thank you for finding our songs and just everything." G.L.
We booked the Clover String Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in Huntington Beach, CA. This quartet is simply amazing! They're music is beautiful and breathtaking! We loved having them be apart of our special day and highly recommend them!!" Kym T.
"Clover Quartet played our wedding — specifically, when the guests arrived, the ceremony, and the first part of the cocktail hour before the DJ took over. Can't recommend them highly enough. They specially learned the 'non-traditional' song we requested for the ceremony entrances (they can pretty much do any song), and played everything from classical to Nirvana during the rest of their set. Our guests loved them!" Will A
"The Clover String Quartet did an absolutely beautiful job at our wedding. They played both the 30 min before the ceremony, the ceremony, and our cocktail hour. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me to tell me how much they enjoyed their playing. Everyone especially enjoyed the versions of contemporary music before the ceremony — I feel jealous I didn't get to sit and listen! We requested very specific songs for our ceremony but let them pick the songs for the time prior to the ceremony and cocktail hour. They did a great job with selecting music too — which made less work for us!
"Cecille, the manager and one of the musicians, was so easy to work with. She was always so prompt to respond to emails and was very friendly. I think it was one of the best features of our wedding." Carolyn

Review of "Sony VCT R640 Tripod"
"Steadfast, loyal and true!!"
As a professional photographer I have previously shared with you my opinions on many cameras so I thought I would now share with you my opinions of some of the many accessories involved in photography too, starting with the Sony VCT-R640 tripod.Although this tripod is nowhere near top of the range it does pretty much everything you would expect of it and at a great price. Sony products are always of high quality and this tripod is no different. It can be used for still imaging cameras or video cameras as long as they do not exceed 3Kg in weight which unless you are using top end professional cameras with huge lenses they will not.
It is fully tilt and pan operable which means it will tilt 90 degrees downwards, 65 degrees upwards and will pan a full 365 degrees, thus allowing you to capture images from all angles without dismounting and re-setting the camera. The tripod is virtually silent when tilting and panning which is excellent if being used with video cameras because you do not want the sound of some squeaky tripod in the background of what you are filming.
The Sony VCT-R640 tripod comes with a quick release mounting shoe which means the camera can be removed and replaced on the tripod very quickly without it having to be unscrewed each time, simply screw the camera to the fitting shoe then attach the shoe to the tripod with one click and remove when needed and replace with simple one click motions.
Using the tripod is simple, just spread the legs and adjust to required then snap over the leg clamps to hold that height securely before shooting. Simply use the pan handle to smoothly search for the perfect shooting angle and the tilt mechanism to perfect your shot.Why use a tripod?
I am sure most people know the reasons for using tripods but I will explain briefly for those who may not. The use of a tripod in still photography is to acquire that perfect blur free photo, avoiding any hand shake that may occur. Even the latest cameras with anti-blur mechanisms cannot completely eradicate the problem so for those perfect portrait shots or especially tricky outdoor condition shots a tripod is a must for anyone serious about their photography.For video capture a tripod is somewhat self explanatory, who wants to hold the weight of a video camera for perhaps half an hour to film a wedding or longer to film a child's school play? No one exactly so stick it on the tripod get your preferred angle and start filming and if you need to adjust during filming then do so with the pan and tilt options.
Choosing a tripod.
In my opinion this tripod is one of the best you can get for the money, priced at between 22 and 35 pounds depending on where you purchase it; it is fairly close to the bottom end of the price range but more mid to high range in quality. You can purchase tripods for as little as £10 these days but they are very limited and when you consider that some tripods will set you back as much as £300 it's no wonder a tripod for a tenner is limited. The Sony VCT-R640 however will compete with much higher priced tripods very well. It has all the functions and stability and matches in size exactly with a Panasonic tripod I have used which cost four times what this little Sony one cost and if pushed to choose one I would probably come out on the side of this Sony one.I purchased this one from Amazon a few months back for my partner to use as she is just getting into photography herself and it has been a great investment at only £28. I find myself reaching for it as often as I reach for my own much more expensive tripod when I am doing portrait photography on the move as it is lighter and easier to set up. All in al I would highly recommend this tripod to anyone serious about their photography but if you are into massive telescopic or panoramic lenses then you may need one which can handle more weight.
One tip I will give you on the care of this item is to say that if you are using it near the seaside or perhaps its a bit windy and dusty where you are shooting then be sure to wipe the tripod clean using a mild detergent and then dry thoroughly because you do not want the tilt and pan mechanism to become dry due to dust or sand gathering in it because then it will become sticky to manoeuvre and noisy which you want to avoid.©2008 thebigc1690

This is not a trick question. Hopefully even the Globe and Mail can distinguish the difference between the use of automated calling technology to achieve fraudulent misrepresentation and voter suppression and one that uses the technology to present issues-based views:

ALWAYS, always always go to the "source documents" when they are available, as opposed to some body else's interpretation/obfuscation thereof. That's what I did on November 1, 2006 and started looking for the "source documents" on Harper's alleged "tax leakage" from income trusts. Learned by making ONE phone call to a friend on Bay Street that Dennis Bruce's study had been published which proved their was NO tax leakage and that Harper's tax leakage argument was based on a false fabricated and concocted notion that left out 38% of the taxes the government actually collects on income trusts. The Canadian news media are more than happy to obscure the truth, like the Globe did on income trusts and is now doing on voter fraud.
- March 11, 2012 at 10:34 AM
Once again the media can't figure out the difference between basic concepts. Whether it is election fraud versus electioneering or tax leakage versus tax deferral the media is simply clueless as are many people who do not take 5 minutes to examine the issue for themselves.

Randy: Sadly the media isn't that dumb. Instead they are corrupt, as their reporting on this (and many other issues like income trusts) is designed to obscure what is really going on by creating a morass of confusion, designed to buy cover for the Harper regime.
- March 11, 2012 at 12:33 PM
The question is then: Why? What do they get out of this corruption? At least if I believe they are stupid then I can believe that stupid sells newspapers and TV ad slots. Maybe they are looking for senate postings like Duffy? Even then there are only so many of those useless positions available. I just don't get it.
Also, people should spend 5 minutes – as you said you made one phone and figured it out – to analyze the issues for themselves.
Here's a sad but true story. I'm sure many have heard about this Kony video going around. It was being discussed in both my daughters' high school classes. They came home just really raging about the attitudes of their classmates. They didn't care whether people had an opinion about the validity, appropriateness, the good or the bad of the video, they were raging about how so many people had an opinion on the video and hadn't even seen it or done any research. It just blew them away that people could think this way.
Both are studying in the International Baccalaureate program which has some of the brightest kids in the school. They are taught to think with a broader, more critical and world view of a subject. If these kids can't get the concept of "Think for Yourself" then what hope do we have that the Timmies crowd will think beyond the next double-double?

Two words explain it: Job Blackmail.....a term I learned from Elizabeth May (when she describe her fight against acid rain and Inco). Do you think a reporter at the Globe that is owned by the billionaire Thomson family gets to decide what he or she writes, or can freely oppose Harper when the Globe endorsed Harper for PM? That's not why the billionaire Thomson family owns this paper, to simply hand over its editorial content to a bunch of hired peons.
These reporters might be able to do it once or twice, but their job would be in jeopardy. Therefore the people who remain at the Globe are the one's who have learned to survive and have reconciled their behavior with the pressure exerted on them, either implicitly or explicitly, from the atmosphere of job blackmail in which they reside.
As I said in another CAITI blog posting pertaining to Joe Oliver that applies equally to the kow towed mnembers of the press:
In reality people like Joe Oliver are the simple product of Harper's Theory of Natural Selection and the Survival of the Weakest, in which those with no back bone, like Joe Oliver are more than happy to advance their own otherwise lacklustre careers by doing WHATEVER the boss man demands of them, regardless of the ethical or moral consequences or duty that is owed to Canadians at large:

This was the iROROTO election.
Keeping voters in a robotic mindset.
We have a Harper Conservative party who gives us blackout documents while in reality we have HLB Decision Economics who proved to us that income trusts did not cause tax leakage. But in iROBOTO politics
practiced by Harper the truth is all about gearing the public into a Robotic mindset !
Where is the media on this ? Well let me call them "The GEAR PRESS" and they are running out of grease !

Mostly because I can't help myself, I wanted to give a shout-out to Juniper Moon Farms for the Spring yarn collection.
First, the facts:
Yarn: Moonshine
Company: Juniper Moon Farm
Fiber: 40% Wool, 40% Alpaca, 20% Silk
Yardage: 100g/197yd
Weight: Worsted
Gauge: 5 sts = 1″ on US 7
The Patterns: Moonshine patterns from the new book.
Yarn: Sabine
Company: Juniper Moon Farm
Fiber: 40% Cotton/30% Royal Llama/30% Merino Wool
Yardage: 100g/218yds
Gauge: 4.75 sts = 1″ on US 7
The Patterns: Sabine patterns from the new book.
Yarn: Yearling
Company: Juniper Moon Farm
Fiber: 60% Merino Wool/40% Cotton
Yardage: 100g/109yds
Weight: Bulky
Gauge: 3.5 sts = 1″ on US 10.5
The Patterns Look: Yearling patterns from the new book.
Yarn: Findley Dappled
Company: Juniper Moon Farm
Fiber: 50% Merino Wool/50% Silk
Yardage: 100g/798yds
Weight: Lace
Gauge: 7.5 sts = 1″ on US 2
The Patterns: Findley Dappled patterns from the new book.
As a matter of full-disclosure, I've known Susan Gibbs, the woman behind this farm, since she started her Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm back around 2007/2008 and consider her a friend. My mother and I went to the first Shearing celebration of her flock in 2008, and I've been getting her CSA shares on and off ever since. I also test-knitted one of the sweaters in this Moonshine line (the one on the cover, in fact), and helped proof-read some of the patterns. In other words, I'm not exactly unbiased, but I've loved every one of her yarns that I've tried and am a big fan of her, her farm, and her blog (which you should be reading if you're not already), so … even though these aren't the kinds of books I usually review … I couldn't help myself.
Oh, and for the record, knitting with Moonshine was a dream–beautiful and soft with a really gorgeous sheen. It was a delight. And Findley (dappled or otherwise) has become one of my favorite lace yarns. It's smooth, even, has a gorgeous shine and blocks like a dream. Just saying.

Attendant to the fall of the Soviet Union was the collapse of the country's social safety nets. Gorbachev's transitional government and Yeltsin's reformist one couldn't stem a great die-off and a low birth rate, as Russia depopulated by 5% between 1992 and 2009. The fall of Communism clearly was the cause, right? But the demographic disaster has deeper roots in earlier decades and high rates of cardiovascular disease and fatal accidents may have their origins in mental-health issues, argues Masha Gessen's excellent New York Review of Books essay, "The Dying Russians." The opening:
"Sometime in 1993, after several trips to Russia, I noticed something bizarre and disturbing: people kept dying. I was used to losing friends to AIDS in the United States, but this was different. People in Russia were dying suddenly and violently, and their own friends and colleagues did not find these deaths shocking. Upon arriving in Moscow I called a friend with whom I had become close over the course of a year. 'Vadim is no more,' said his father, who picked up the phone. 'He drowned.' I showed up for a meeting with a newspaper reporter to have the receptionist say, 'But he is dead, don't you know?' I didn't. I'd seen the man a week earlier; he was thirty and apparently healthy. The receptionist seemed to think I was being dense. "A helicopter accident," she finally said, in a tone that seemed to indicate I had no business being surprised.
The deaths kept piling up. People—men and women—were falling, or perhaps jumping, off trains and out of windows; asphyxiating in country houses with faulty wood stoves or in apartments with jammed front-door locks; getting hit by cars that sped through quiet courtyards or plowed down groups of people on a sidewalk; drowning as a result of diving drunk into a lake or ignoring sea-storm warnings or for no apparent reason; poisoning themselves with too much alcohol, counterfeit alcohol, alcohol substitutes, or drugs; and, finally, dropping dead at absurdly early ages from heart attacks and strokes.
Back in the United States after a trip to Russia, I cried on a friend's shoulder. I was finding all this death not simply painful but impossible to process. 'It's not like there is a war on,' I said.
'But there is,' said my friend, a somewhat older and much wiser reporter than I. 'This is what civil war actually looks like. 'It's not when everybody starts running around with guns. It's when everybody starts dying.'
My friend's framing stood me in good stead for years. I realized the magazine stories I was writing then were the stories of destruction, casualties, survival, restoration, and the longing for peace. But useful as that way of thinking might be for a journalist, it cannot be employed by social scientists, who are still struggling to answer the question, Why are Russians dying in numbers, and at ages, and of causes never seen in any other country that is not, by any standard definition, at war?"

November 2015 - Carnival Conquest to Caribbean - Western
I took my mother on the Carnival Conquest as a present for her 60th birthday and we had a fantastic time as first time cruisers.
We met so many wonderful people, enjoyed great shows such as the Brits and Divas Live etc and enjoyed every port.
One of the highlights on the entire experience was how hospitable and nice the wait staff and housekeepers were. They made the experience personal by remembering your name and constantly asking if you were enjoying.
We really had a great time!
