Being the world's crappiest traveler means that I've learnt a thing or two about what not to do while you're away. So, in honour of being probably-a-bit-too-old-to-go-on-a-clubbing-holiday I thought I'd pass on some of my wisdom about how to survive your girls holiday this year, (sorry boys, I wouldn't dare to tackle the elusive lads holiday.)
So if you're lucky enough to win, or if you're planning a holiday with your mates in another clubber's paradise, here are a few tips to help you survive your upcoming girl's holiday…
Avoiding Arguments
To put it simply, you can't. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but in all likelihood you will argue. This doesn't mean that you're all "complete bitches", or that "these slags don't give a shit about friendship" – or any other accusations that might get thrown around in the heat of the moment. However close you are, being in a confined space with the same group of people 24/7 for two weeks is going to be a shock to the system. Add the the fact that you're going to be hot, hungover, probably burnt, whilst all wanting to do different things and you're bound to get a bit of bickering. The good news is, there are some things you can do to make sure any unnecessary beef is kept at bay…
1) Make sure everyone gets to call the shots at some point.
If someone is desperate to go to a particular bar or do an activity, suck it up and let them – it means that you get to be selfish and pick something you want to do another day without guilt. Keep your demands within reason though; like don't expect the whole party to traipse to a dump of a club because you fancy the barman, unless you plan on at least buying everyone a shot – it's a girls holiday remember.
2) Back off
If you sense someone start to become narky don't jump in there all guns blazing to tell them – it's only going to wind them up more. Think about how you get when you're all burnt and hungover; I bet you're no picnic to be around either. So, back off and let them stew it out on their own for a while. Or better yet be an amazing friend and wordlessly present them with an ice cold, double vodka an orange and some after sun – they will soon snap out of it.
Don't take yourself too seriously
There is nothing worse than going away with an uptight girl who refuses to get in any photos unless they've spent 3 hours getting ready, or won't get in the pool in case their hair gets wet. Do not be this girl!
If you really don't want any photos taken without make up on, put on a pair of Paris Hilton sunglasses to cover your face.
Also, 18-30 holidays are going to be full of gangs of lads, leading the march with shit football chants and obnoxious attempts to get your attention. As long as their not forcing themselves on you, they're harmless – so don't get wound up when they start singing "get your rat out for the lads".
Make a journal
We did this on my second girls holiday and it's still possibly one for the funniest books that I have in my possession. Buy an empty notepad and leave it out so it's easy for people to write/stick paraphernalia in, whatever time of day. The drunk rambling and the declarations of love are possibly the funniest parts – plus it'll remind you of all the hilarious incidents and what comedic geniuses you all were after a bottle or two of wine.
Remember, it's a GIRLS holiday
A girls holiday should be about just that – girlie time. It's understandable if the single ones out of you want to pull on a night out – but your nights shouldn't revolve around finding lads or meeting up with other people. If you are going out to meet up with some guys, make sure you spend some time together too. Go for a meal, or sit on your balcony together eating pot noodles if you're strapped for cash. Just make sure you put the time in – you don't get this opportunity back.
Stay together
This one is the most important and should go without saying, but make sure you all stick together! Girls alone are vulnerable. Drunk girls alone are really vulnerable. Know your limits, put money aside for cab fare and (I don't care however much of a dick their being) never leave anyone on their own – I don't want to see any of your faces on the news this year please.

Tis the Season for Shades of Roses and Love
Seasons 52 Restaurant Managing Partner Reuben Rolf opened his heart to underwrite an outstanding kick-off party at his trendy River Oaks Westheimer location, July 8, for The Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation upcoming Shades of Roses extravagant five course wine/benefit dinner, to be held Sunday, September 14, 2014 at Fleming's in River Oaks.
"The idea is to get people thinking in September about October breast cancer awareness month," said CEO and Founder Cindi Rose. Loyal pink-hearted chairs Kim Padgett and Jessica Rossman could not agree more. The event, which filled out quickly with over 200 beautiful minded people in support of honorees of the September elaborate wine dinner: Alex Martinez and Diane Caplan, both who have either lost a parent to cancer or who have a parent to cancer. The mission of the foundation began with a seed idea to help the under and uninsured with free breast cancer reconstruction surgery (an operation that can cost up to $250,000) to feel well and whole, and to put normal back into critical illness. The non-profit also provides free art group classes to cancer patients at Texas Children's Hospital, and offers scholarships to students who lost a parent to any cancer, or have cancer or leukemia. "We also do grief counseling, diet and stress counseling, and support groups," Cindi Rose said.
The natural brick background was perfect for the 12 string original New Age jazz compositions by singer and song-writer Michael DeMarse who added joy to the evening. Seasons 52 passed exotic flatbreads, shrimp, scallops, and stuffed mushrooms, while serving South African Chardonnay and Chilean Cabernet.
The invitation stated, there is no cost to attend, but a nice bottle of wine or champagne or your favorite gift certificate for our upcoming silent auction would be lovely. Lovely indeed! Over $4,000 was raised from a raffle, which included art from Ann Marie Vancas, a $3,500 Lucho certificate, handmade jewelry from Angelica Chapman, and several gift certificates from Seasons 52. In the fabulous wine and champagne category over 50 bottles ranging from $35 to $120 were brought by the glamorous Summer Season crowd. Elizabeth Frost donated a one-of a kind real gemstone necklace and earring set valued at $1,400.
In the glittering pink hearted group were: Cynthia Sinatra and daughter Victoria Brink, Roland Garcia, Dr. James and Rachel Suliburk, J Michael Stoltz, Elizabeth Frost, Dr. Franklin Rose, Leisa Holland Nelson and her daughter, Laura Max, newly engaged to Ben Harwood Rose, Beth Cassidy-Garcia, Janice Burns, Beth Bryant, David Arpin, Thi Hac Nguyen, Sue Habib (who offered to donate all the roses and flower arrangements for the Sept. 14 event from Lexis Florist), Ayna Segal Parsons, Alex Blair, Lysa Elkins, Hector Villarreal (who will donate cigars, men's suits to the event), Tracy and Harry Faulkner, Bruce Padilla, Shelby Kibodeaux, Christine Johnson, Mark Wood, Sonia Soto, Dana Kervin Clark, Jacquie Baly, Jennifer Roosth, and Carol Snowden.
Alex Martinez secured a spectacular vacation from Ron Morgan Properties from Puerto Vallarta, who donated a stay at the Villa Sevilla that offers 3 Deluxe King rooms and 2 Deluxe Queen rooms. Villa Sevilla features its own heated pool, living room, dining room and kitchen, and a rooftop terrace with ocean view. All in the name of Shades of Roses, shades of the seasons, and shades of cancer prevention and wellness. Only 200 can attend this prestigious always sold-out event, ticket prices range from $250 to $500. Many tables were sold that evening ranging from $3,000 to $5,000. To buy a ticket or table or make a donation for the auction, email email@example.com or call Autumn Ayers at 713 622-3610.

text: I was taking a break from my busy schedule and watched the episode of Sex and the City where Samantha tries to buy a Birkin. I watched this episode for the first time 2.5 years ago and that was the very first time I was consciously aware of an Hermes bag and I did not like it (don't kill me!!). After that, I never bothered to look into Hermes or any of their other bags and stayed that way until about mid/end of September 2006. After I came to love Hermes, I wondered for a while if it was an acquired taste for bags for a while. I know I loved the garden party when I first laid eyes on it and, went googly eyed over the Bombay-Paris, and thought the Kelly was just so elegant. After reading up on the quality and craftsman ship on H bags and their durability to last lifetimes, I found myself in love with almost every bag they have, including the Birkin. But when I re-watched that episode last night, I realized why I was turned off by the bag when I first saw it. First is when Samantha sees the bag in store and the SA shows it to her. In that scene, the bag seemed old to me, like the leather looked uneven and so it made me think it was poorly made. Then in another scene, I actually see someone carry it and it is HUGE! I did not realize the Birkin came in different sizes back then so I thought all Birkins were travel sized. Now I love them

"We are not a professional union, but together, we are a union of professionals!"
CAN/ULC-536-04 (Canadian Annual Fire Alarm Inspection Standard)DO'S AND DON'T'S
Series Introduction! DEBUNKING THE MYTHS!
October 28th, 2010 - By Frank Kurz
Vancouver – It's always interesting when someone like me gets the opportunity to talk shop with an owner and the senior technician of a well-known fire equipment service provider. It's one thing when it happens during a friendly lunch, or over a coffee, quite another when it becomes somewhat confrontational on a sidewalk on one of Burnaby's busiest streets (Kingsway Avenue). The occasion was a kitchen suppression trip test in a new restaurant. I had been called in to provide a Verification for the hook-up of the extinguishing system to the networked EST-3 that serviced the rest of the complex which consisted of a residential tower and a commercial annex.
Several things came to my attention during the course of my Verification, not the least of which was the fact that the standby batteries were woefully inadequate and moreover, hadn't been properly tested in accordance with the Standard the technician was supposed to have been following (in this case CAN/ULC-S536-04). The owner of this fire equipment service company confidently advised me that the battery size was inconsequential to their technician's testing and that, yes, they had replaced them in 2009 with batteries of exactly the same size that Edwards had (supposedly) originally provided. He mentioned something about the system being engineered with those batteries and that his tech certainly shouldn't be held responsible for the system's inadequacies (as originally verified by Edwards back in the day). The owner's senior technician held a similar view. They both couldn't be more wrong.
It brings up some very good questions! What are technicians doing and what should they be doing when they test a fire alarm system to CAN/ULC-S536-04? In the next few articles we hope to debunk some myths and misconceptions concerning the Testing Standard. We're going to be revealing some other well known (and repeated) inspection gaffs in the hope of raising the bar a few notches. I hope you, the reader, will find these articles informative and that you'll benefit positively from the experiences of your fellow technicians (whom shall remain anonymous) which I'll be highlighting. I don't intend on singling out one company (any more than what you see on our Brickees! pages) - but hope to focus on helping you identify what you should be doing and how you should be doing it. Some of what you're going to see is pretty basic (and should have been covered in the material available through the CFAA and ASTTBC sponsored courses). Items we mention in this category will no doubt serve as a review for some of you. There have also been significant changes in the 2004 version of the testing standard which will many of you have yet to adopt (or may not know about).
We'd like very much to make this an interactive experience and to that end, we'll be posting any questions we receive (along with the appropriate answers) as the series progresses.
So keep watching! We will, of course, respect any request to remain anonymous from anyone that does submit their questions or personal experiences.

I had some mini cupcakes I baked for a project that didn't happen. I decided to throw together a string of lights instead. They kinda look like oranments, but the string of licorice makes them lights, OK? I would be fun to string these across a dessert bar. I popped on some chocolate chips, and called it a day.

text: Of all the plans we have for our house, this was rather low on the list of things to do. I'm still kind of happily in shock at how I have a pretty new bathroom to walk into every morning. The project started when we decided it was due time to replace the original mirrors over the sinks with larger ones. Every time Zack and I walk into Restoration Hardware we both comment on how much we love the huge mirrors on the wall that reach up to the ceiling. In a brief moment of insanity, we thought we'd go ahead and buy the RH mirrors to hang up in our own bathroom. The ceilings in our house are so tall, it was meant to be, we said. However, reality quickly sank in when we realized a duo of said mirrors would cost us no less than $1500. Yikes. So I set off on a search for similar mirrors to suit our tastes and budget. Sadly though, they were not to be found, at least not for a reasonable price. Finally, Zack decided we could easily just build a couple of huge mirrors. I mean, the man built a floor to ceiling fireplace in two days, why didn't we just DIY in the first place?READ MORE

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Matrix Service (Tulsa, OK) in February 2014.
I interviewed for Firld Safety Technical. With division manager of operations manager and safety manager. They ask about six questions regarding my previous employer, they ask what training I had that would help me in this company.
Interview Questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Matrix Service (Tulsa, OK) in July 2011.
The interview process was fairly fast. It started with a phone interview with two managers and then they offered to bring me in for a face to face interview. They were very understanding when issues arose during the first scheduled trip that prevented me from attending the face to face interview. I thought I had blown my chance but I just explained the situation and they rescheduled the face to face. I met with the manager that would be my supervisor and he showed me around and asked me some more in-depth questions about my experience. At the end of the face to face he had warned me it may take a while for me to hear back from them. Finally I did and they offered me a position which I took with them relocating me and my wife.
Interview Questions
I applied through college or university. The process took a week. I interviewed at Matrix Service (Bengaluru (India)) in March 2011.
The interview had 3 rounds of PI followed by HR negotiation round.
Interview Questions
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Matrix Service (Chennai (India)) in September 2010.
Had telephonic round with HR followed by one on one HR interview and with the Operations head. Was called again the next day for the final round with the Center head.
Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining

ISET's Summer School "Economic Reforms, Political Transition and Development. Learning from the Georgian Experience" is intended for advanced students, academics, journalists, researchers and policy practitioners with a strong interest in promoting democratic, open, fair and corruption-free societies respecting the principles of human rights and individual freedom.
Jointly organized by ISET and Prague Civil Society Center, the Summer School targets students, journalists, policy researchers and civil society activists, providing them with a unique opportunity to review Georgia's successes (and failures) in reforming its economy, society and politics, and discuss development challenges facing other transition nations in the post-Soviet space. The working language of the program will be English.
The Summer School will bring together a group outstanding reform-minded individuals for a two-week academic adventure at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. You will be able to listen to interesting speakers, join debates and panel discussions on relevant subjects, visit strategically important public institutions and tour Georgia's cultural, touristic, and industrial landmarks.
Directed by ISET's President Eric Livny, the Summer School will engage circa 20 national and international speakers: academics, policy researchers and practitioners, prominent Georgian and international reformers, civil society leaders, and entrepreneurs.
In addition to academic activities, the Summer School's program includes several field trips illustrating the strength of Georgia's traditional brands (mineral waters, wine, agricultural products), its resurgence as a spa, ski and sea tourism destination, its potential as a transport and transit hub connecting landlocked Central Asian countries to European markets, and, last but not least, Georgia's success in attracting foreign investors by unilaterally abolishing any restrictions on inbound tourism and labor migration, creating a friendly business environment, and improving border management.

… I had no plans of reading the shortlist for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award until Jonathan Strahan pointed it out to me this morning.
Here are the finalists:
- The Race by Nina Allan
- A Darkling Sea by James L. Cambias
- The Peripheral by William Gibson
- Afterparty by Daryl Gregory
- Europe in Autumn by Dave Hutchinson
- Wolves by Simon Ings
- The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, translated by Ken Liu
- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
- Defenders by Will McIntosh
- The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North
- The Bees by Laline Paull
- Bête by Adam Roberts
- Lock In by John Scalzi
- The Martian by Andy Weir
- Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer
- Echopraxia by Peter Watts
First off, yes this is the biggest single shortlist published by a genre award (that isn't a longlist that's going to be whittled down later). And while it does look a tad intimidating, at least for award lovers like me, of the 16 books nominated I've:
- reviewed five;
- read eight (and a third if you include Annihilation); and
- have another 5 and two-thirds lined up to read.
This means there's only three books on this list that I wasn't already planning to read and review. And given they include a Gregory and a Roberts how could I say no to this list. Frankly, if you want a summary of high quality Science Fiction published in 2014, sans Sad Puppy mishigas, this is the recommended reading list for you. (Except for maybe The Martian which I really didn't like at all).

Dominating the view over Wadi Feiran, the rugged Jebel Serbal is a tough trek. Although there are a few higher mountains in the Sinai, the route starts closer to sea level than at any of the other mountains, so in fact it is the longest climb. The most common route starts from the Convent into Wadi Aliyat, and it is a day to reach the mountain top. You find little secluded basins, water sources, gardens, ancient ruins and inscriptions – then of course the views: you can see the Gulf of Suez and mainland Egypt, the desert to the north and the high mountains to the south.
Other names/spellings: Jabal, Gebel, Gabal, Djebel, Djabal – Sarbal
- Jebel Serbal: once believed to be the true Mt. Sinai, it is a red granite massif standing above the whole Wadi Feiran region.
- Wadi Aliyat: wide, rocky and dotted with acacia trees all along, it is a gentle climb from the Convent of Wadi Feiran to Naqb Shaharani, at the base of Jebel Serbal.
- Naqb Shaharani: a long and very steep gully with very dramatic drops, it might take a day, but definitely several hours, to reach Farsh Loz at the top.
- Farsh Loz: a little basin at the top of Naqb Shaharani, with a single garden and well. (Note: it's not Farsh Loza, that's on Mt. Sinai.)
- Tabaga Imbardiya: a big boulder providing shelter with a few abandoned gardens around it, it is found along the route on top of the range on the way to Wadi Rim.
- Wadi Rim: an alternative way to Jebel Serbal, this is a longer but not so steep route that camels can also access. It is connected to Wadi Feiran at Wadi Islaf, the traditional caravan route to Saint Katherine via Sheikh Abu Taleb, Sheikh Awad and the Naqb el Hawa pass.

The avalanche has started
In cartoons we see avalanches almost invariably starting the same way. It's clichéd, in fact – a small pebble propping up a huge boulder gets bumped. The pebble falls away, and moments later the boulder comes tumbling down after it. After that of course, the avalanche is inevitable.
And if it happens to be Wile E. Coyote standing in the path of the avalanche, a tiny umbrella suddenly appears for protection, but it doesn't achieve anything.
We're at that pebble-bumped point with marriage equality in the western world, with opponents holding up their flimsy, tiny umbrellas in the hopes of stopping the onslaught.
Except, as we're seeing demonstrated in the countries where marriage equality has come to pass, there's no onslaught. Societies aren't disintegrating, divorce rates aren't shooting through the roof, water supplies aren't being filled with mutated ill-tempered sea-bass, and babies are still being born.
Even in United States, often dominated by conservative christian thought, the individual states are starting to tumble. Today, a friend messaged me to say:
Marriage equality passed the Minnesota House today bipartisan 75-59. It will easily pass the Senate and be signed by Gov Dayton on Monday. Minnesota will be #12 plus DC.
The United States goes on, despite what crazies holding their comic little cocktail umbrellas are saying.
The world goes on, just as it has gone on before, but with just that little bit more equality in it. Each country that achieves marriage equality adds to the proof that there's nothing dangerous or society-shattering about it.
It's not to say we can be complacent about marriage equality if we haven't already achieved it … we are the rocks tumbling down the mountain, both us and those who have already gained their equality.
We must continue to tumble, and with it, the barriers to equality will keep tumbling down.
With the defeat of DOMA in the United States, that avalanche is continuing to gather pace.

When no hope is left, to whom should we turn? Through the words of Jesus as He was dying on the Cross, Jack Hayford unfolds the secret of triumphing over the ultimate season of suffering.

2012 Seat Mii Auto review
- Semi-auto Seat Mii city car driven
- Available with 74bhp engine only
- On sale now, priced from 10,490
Need a valuation?
Obtain a FREE used car valuation for any vehicle.
This is the Seat Mii Auto, one third of a city car trio, which also includes the Volkswagen Up and Skoda Citigo ASG (Automated Shift Gearbox) models.
All three use the same five-speed automated-manual gearbox, although Seat offers it only with the Mii's range-topping 1.0 74bhp engine, whereas Skoda and Volkswagen both let you specify a 59bhp engine as well.
Fuel economy and CO2 emissions are actually slightly better than they are for the manual car, although its not enough of an improvement to make the Auto cheaper to tax.
Whats the 2012 Seat Mii Auto like to drive?
The gearboxs electronic clutch is slow to respond, then engages abruptly, so caution is required when pulling out of junctions.
Whats more, once youre on the move, shifts seem to take an age and cause the car to lurch back and forth.
In order to maximise efficiency, the box changes up as quickly as possible, meaning its often in fifth by the time you reach 30mph. Unfortunately its reluctant to change down again, so power isnt always readily available.
If you want to nip into a gap or overtake, its best to override the gearbox by nudging the lever back and forth.
Like the manual car, the Mii Auto benefits from a supple ride and steering thats light and precise, plus it has an auto-hold function that works well on steep hills. Unfortunately, theres no creep function, so the car will roll backwards on gentle inclines and its difficult to drive smoothly in stop-start traffic.
Whats the 2012 Seat Mii Auto like inside?
Aside from the auto gearlever (and the absence of a clutch pedal) the interior is identical to any other Miis.
That means its surprisingly spacious and has a simple, uncluttered dashboard, while the driving position is good, despite the fact theres no reach adjustment for the steering wheel.
SE trim is the only option if you want an automatic Mii, but this is pretty well equipped, getting alloy wheels, air-conditioning and heated door mirrors. Heated seats and a portable satellite-navigation system are available as options.
Should I buy one?
Under the body, the Mii is almost identical to a Volkswagen Up, which means its about as good as city cars get.
However, unless an automatic gearbox is absolutely essential, this particular model should be avoided; its far from smooth and actually adds to the stress of city driving.
If your budget doesnt exceed 10,000 and you need a small automatic car, youre much better off with a one-year-old VW Polo DSG.

Good morning internet friends. The government is back and I am running track.It's always an adjustment to get motivated during dark mornings, but I'm blessed to live in an area where there are lots of crazies up and running in the wee hours, too. Seeing other people busting it on the track makes me want to run fast with them (or just beat them).The game plan for today was 3 miles at a 6:55-7:00 pace, one mile recovery, and then two more at a 6:55-7:00 pace. These longer, aerobic-like endurance track workouts (sometimes called "cruise intervals" or a form of tempo workouts) are interesting because they build a certain kind of endurance different than shorter track sprints. Also, the type of recovery between intervals (jogging vs. standing, and length of time) has a significant impact on the workout.
If you maintain a slow jog between intervals, like I did today, you're teaching your body to burn fat when it's fatigued — a critical skill to have come marathon day! If you take short, standing breaks between reps, you're maintaining a high level of effort while giving your legs a short break.
Read more about "cruise interval" track workouts here, here, and here.
What's even more amazing is that my shoes survived a round in the washing machine post-Mexico and have recovered from their sandy adventures!How do we go from running shoes to Thai fish salad? Take a deep breath…
And then look at this!Anthony and I were feeling bold and went for this Thai red curry mahi mahi salad recipe courtesy of Food Network.
The fish was excellent — very crisp, with a bit of spice! The salad is basically a deconstructed veggie spring roll, with homemade lime/chili dressing. We added rice for a bit more umph.Sprints to shoes to fish. Done.
Have a great day!

USPS responded by basically saying No harm, no foul. But bonuses were given out based on mystery shopper scores. Some managers had an unfair advantage.
The USPS Office Of Inspector General Released the following audit report:
The Postal Service uses the Mystery Shopper Program as a diagnostic tool to measure conditions that impact customer satisfaction, promote safety, educate customers about products and services, and foster revenue growth. Management includes the program results in the National Performance Assessment (NPA) score, which is part of the Pay for Performance (PFP) evaluation system. The program uses independently contracted individuals to pose as customers (known as mystery shoppers) to evaluate Post Offices.
The Postal Service uses a contractor who specializes in providing mystery shopper services to manage the program. The contractor recruits mystery shoppers via its website, and the Post Office evaluations are supposed to be conducted anonymously. see full report
We determined that the integrity and objectivity of the Mystery Shopper Program was compromised, because information regarding the program is posted on the contractor's website where it is accessible to the general public. Specifically, we found that information regarding mystery shop sites, as well as the dates and scenarios of scheduled evaluations, was available to anyone who accessed the contractor's website.
Mystery Shopper Program was Compromised
We found that in January 2011, a Postal Service employee was able to enroll as a mystery shopper on the contractor's website. Although the employee did not complete a Post Office evaluation, the employee was allowed access to information regarding the locations, dates, and scenarios for scheduled mystery shop evaluations. Upon accessing the information, the employee distributed it to 44 Postal Service unit and retail managers via e-mail. This occurred because the information is available to the general public on the contractor's website.1 As a result, advance notice of upcoming mystery shop evaluations was accessible, which compromised the objectivity of the program. We also found that three other employees enrolled as mystery shoppers on the contractor's website between November and December of 2010;2 however, none completed a Post Office evaluation.
We recommend the vice president, Delivery and Post Office Operations:
1. Modify the Mystery Shopper Program contract and implement internal controls to ensure advance notice of dates, sites, and scenarios for mystery shopper evaluations are not available to Postal Service employees and the general public.
2. Consult with Supply Management to determine whether the Postal Service is entitled to a refund as a result of the contractor allowing unauthorized access to information regarding the mystery shopper program on its website.
Management's Comments
Management agreed with the findings and generally agreed with the recommendations, stating they have taken steps to ensure information about Postal Service shop sites, dates, and scenarios are not made available to employees and the general public.
Specifically, the contractor has blocked access to its mystery shopper job boards, and systems were put in place to ensure only individuals with proper authorization can access shopper schedules and other related information. Additionally, management determined that any damages resulting from the objectivity of the Mystery Shopper Program being compromised are immaterial given that the accessibility of information about Postal Service shop sites was isolated and limited in nature. Therefore,management will not seek payment of money, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief related to the mystery shopper contract.

Andrew Koenig has been missing for 11 days, and now the "Growing Pains" actor's parents are reaching out to the public for help in finding their son. Walter Koenig and Judy Levitt Koenig appeared on "The Today Show" Wednesday (February 24) morning, marking their first network television interview since Andrew disappeared on February 14.
"It's very, very tough," said Walter, best known for playing Pavel Chekov on the original "Star Trek" television series, about his son's disappearance. "He was very depressed about his life."
"He is very much loved and beloved in this world," Judy added. "I just hope he gets that feeling."
Andrew was last seen on February 14 by his friend Jenny Magenta, who revealed on "Today" that she hasn't seen him since going to sleep that evening. "That night I went to bed, and in the morning he was gone," she said, adding that Koenig left her a note in the morning. "But it just [said], 'Thank you, from Andrew.' Nothing [else]."
Since his disappearance, Andrew's friends, family and former colleagues have voiced their concern and support in a multitude of ways including prepared statements and informal pleas on Twitter. While his whereabouts remain unknown, law enforcement officials say that they're starting to receive some leads.
"We've had tips that he was seen at an Olympics venue last night, so the tips are coming in," Constable Tim Fanning of Vancouver revealed to "Today," adding that so far, "nothing has been solid."
With so much time having passed since Andrew's disappearance, some are starting to fear the worst. "I don't want to think that way," said Walter when asked if he's contemplated the possibility that his son has died. "I'm trying very hard not to think that way."
For now, the Koenig family is holding on to as much hope as they reasonably can, with Andrew's sister Danielle offering her own thoughts on the situation directly and lovingly: "He's just a loving, sweet man, and we just want him back."

"Why are you still single?"
Ask me this question and I'll have several involuntary reactions:
1. My face contorts. Maybe it looks like I'm suppressing a fart. What I'm really doing is attempting not to blurt out, "FUCK YOU FOR ASKING."
2. My hands itch. I begin to fidget or perhaps start picking my finger nails. This will make me look nervous. Really I'm trying to find something to occupy my hands to keep from slapping you across the face.
3. My eyes go glassy. I can't focus. My mind is a blur of thoughts. How am I supposed to answer such a clichéd question? Seriously, is there a more clichéd question than this? Is there a single single person on the planet who does not loathe this question? Are you trying to make me feel shitty about myself? Has anyone in the history of the world had a good answer for this?
You want an answer? Fine! I'll give you an answer!
I'm still single because I have weird pheromones! They scientifically only attract bohemian man-children! I'll never meet Mr. Right!
Not good enough for you? Fine!
I'm still single because I'm funny! Dudes don't like dating girls who are funnier than them! I'd rather die alone than have no one laugh at my jokes!
You think I'm joking? FINE.
I'm still single because I have a blog where I write about my personal life! Men don't date me because they're terrified I'll make their shitty fashion choices known to the whole internet! I refuse to abandon my blog so BRING ON SPINSTERHOOD.
I know I should just lie, that's probably what the inquirer wants me to do. Supply a cliché answer to a cliché question: I'm focusing on my career. I just haven't found "The One" yet!
But I can't.
Asking me why I'm single is like asking me why I exist. The question sends me into an existential crisis. I could philosophize on an answer for hours. Sometimes I do. Why is it so hard for me to find someone I want to commit to? Some people make it look so easy! Jesus, that girl has a boyfriend and I don't? What's wrong with me? I've never been with a man who truly "got" me. Is that my fault or theirs? I've never been madly in love. Don't I deserve to be? What if it never happens?? Are my expectations too high?
I can't help but wonder– OMG that's it! I'm still single because I want to be Carrie Bradshaw! Yes! I'm not gonna meet Mr. Big until I'm in my 30s! That's all! I knew I'd find the answer eventually! MYSTERY SOLVED!
Why am I still single? Oh, lots of reasons. Some are good: I'm an introvert by nature, I crave solitude. It takes a real special guy to make me prefer spending my nights with him rather than having them to myself. Some are bad: The last guy broke my heart. I found amazing closure on the whole thing but a bit of resulting commitment-phobia is only natural. Some that it would probably take hours of therapy to uncover. (Don't worry, we're not going there.)
From henceforth when ever any one asks why I'm still single they can expect a complete dramatic reading of this post. Perhaps accompanied by an interpretive dance. "Why am I single? Oh, I can't wait to tell you!"
Single readers: How do you answer this question? Coupled readers: how did you answer it once upon a time?
Thank you for reading. If you liked this post, please consider sharing it.
And if you follow me on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram I ♥ you as much as I ♥ NY!

Author vs. Writer
I foolishly thought that being a Writer and being an Author was the same thing. I have found out they are very, very different things needing almost opposite skills.
As a writer you envision your own little world and move in, totally ignoring the real world around you. You need to be happy being alone with your thoughts in order to get those thoughts on to paper. The very definition of an introvert.
As an Author you have to sell your book to everyone you meet, shamelessly self promoting yourself to strangers and friends alike. The very definition of an extrovert.
I've sold other peoples stuff in the past and had no problem, but when it comes to pushing my own novel I feel like I'm being pushy. I've read from other authors that they feel the same way.
One effective way that I know of to promote yourself without being pushy is with a business card. Nobody minds getting a business card, at worse they'll just toss it in the nearest trash can, but if they are interested they have a way to find out more.
So I put together a cheap card and I'll start handing them out to everyone I meet. Hopefully it will get some people interested to look at my book. If not I'll have wasted a whole $5 and people will wonder if I'm the real life Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
I'm trying to come up with other low cost ways to promote my book, without being obnoxious. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

If you haven't already, you might try looking into CreateSpace at Amazon. Here's a link, if you're interested: https://www.createspace.com/Products/Index.jsp
All I've done is setup an account with them, since I'm still in the rewrite stage, I haven't really looked into what is free and what you may need to pay for.

Jason McAteer struck by Jurgen Klopp's "element of Shankly"
Ex-Ireland and Liverpool midfielder is impressed by what he's seen14:55 Thursday 12 May 2016, 14:55 12 May 2016
Jason McAteer feels there is "an element of Shankly" to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
The ex-Ireland and Reds player has met the former Borussia Dortmund and is struck by his charisma and compared his willingness to build something to Liverpool's legendary former manager Bill Shankly.
McAteer was speaking at the SPAR FAI Primary School 5s National Finals at Aviva Stadium, which he is ambassador for.
"He's full of charisma. There's no falseness about him. There's an element of Shankly there, he feels he wants to build something at the football club. It's all natural to him, it's not like he's making it up," said McAteer of Klopp.
"I watched him train at Villarreal, the night before the game and I couldn't take my eyes off him, never mind the players. It's just he's such an engaging character and you want to see what he's up to, how he manages, how he coaches. He's a great fit for Liverpool."

McAteer also feels Daniel Sturridge's attitude will dictate whether he has a long-term future as a lead striker for Klopp at Liverpool.
"If they're both singing off the same song sheet, then I think there will be a position for Daniel," he said.
The ex-Boys in Green midfielder also turned his attention to Ireland's upcoming Euro 2016 campaign and feels everything hinges on the opening game on June 13th.
"If we don't get three points against Sweden, it's going to be very, very tough to get out of the group," he said, while he also spoke about some of the fears from a fans perspective for those travelling to France amid the threat of terrorism following attacks in Paris and Brussels.
"After the events that happened in Paris and Belgium, I think human nature will always edge on the side of caution. It will always be at the back of people's minds that they do need to be vigilant. UEFA, the police, the security services will be working overtime to make sure that the competition runs smoothly and safely," he said.
He also added that: "But it's difficult. You can't live your life being dictated to by terrorists. You've got to go out and live your life. You've got to go to these events and support them. But you've got to be vigilant and careful."
McAteer also looked back on the 1996 FA Cup final and the "Spice Boys" era with Newstalk's Team 33 which we will broadcast and podcast on Tuesday May 17th.
SPAR FAI Primary School 5s Programme ambassador and former Republic of Ireland International Jason McAteer was at the AVIVA Stadium to watch the SPAR FAI Primary School 5s National Finals where 192 girls and boys from 24 schools battled it out for national honours. The 2016 SPAR FAI Primary School 5s Programme was the biggest yet as almost 24,000 children from 1,267 schools took part in county, regional and provincial blitzes nationwide.

I do believe in Satan. I dont think we can blame him for our sins he is probably the one who temps us with things he knows are our weakness but ultimatley we have the choice to sin or not. At times we sin and dont realize we did we are only humans. I feel he does attack us to brake us down and question God. I also think he attacks non believers just as much because he knows somewhere out there someone is praying and believing for that person.
THANK YOU Jaidynsmum for the AWESOME siggy. My fellow Block head!

Comet ISON
Here's a beautiful wallpaper of the Comet ISON. It began its journey from the Oort cloud at least a million years ago, a swath of icy objects that orbit far beyond Neptune. This is its first trip through the inner solar system. As of today it is unclear whether the comet will survive its trip around the sun.
In any case, it makes for a glorious thing to see shooting across the sky on Thanksgiving! More details from NASA here: http://rtna.me/1b2imWc

Also known as SOBEWFF presented by Food & Wine, the extravaganza took place from February 19-22, 2015. The yearly awaited event has yet to disappoint its event-goers. This culinary crusade takes you through the realms of South Beach's finest restaurants and on a four-day journey that features event after event of culinary experiences throughout various locations of Miami Beach. The experiences ranged from seafood feasts, modern Italian dinners, southern divine delicacies, Israeli culinary odysseys, barbecues, Celebrity Chef Tournaments, burger and oyster bashes, surf and turf cookeries, confectionary wonderlands, and even a cigar and spirits event for the aficionados. With over 70 events to choose from during the course of four-days, the South Beach Wine and Food Festival delivered and catered to every appetite for everyone in attendance.
BigMouthGirlz.com attended the MasterCard Priceless® Miami Demo Pass at the Whole Foods Market Grand Tasting Village featuring MasterCard Grand Tasting Tents & KitchenAid® Culinary Demonstrations. The outdoor event took place on 13th Street and Ocean Drive on Miami Beach. The exclusive experience highlighted Culinary Demonstrations that contained two stages running simultaneously with celebrity chefs and Food Network personalities. The demonstrations exhibited the celebrity chefs and Food Network personalities' talents live with reserved seating to those who upgraded their Whole Foods Market Grand Tasting Village featuring MasterCard Grand Tasting Tents experience with the MasterCard Priceless Miami Demo Pass.

Miami's top restaurants and chefs prepared limitless all-inclusive bites paired with unlimited samples of fine wines and spirits from the Southern Wine & Spirits of Florida portfolio and interactive activities by top sponsors in the Whole Foods Market Grand Tasting Village and the MasterCard Grand Tasting Tents. The culinary escapade took you through distinctive regions throughout South Florida.

Not one person left this fantastic event empty-handed. The event also had dozens of vendors handing out freebies to take away in your 2015 SOBEWFF issued handbag that included drinks, teas, snack bars, canned samples, kitchen utensils, and much more!

Another round of Senior Pictures with Horses!
I try not to get to wordy on a blog post, after all I am a photographer and not a novelist. But I feel the need to tell just a touch of backstory. For those that know CJ you can skip right over too the photos – for if you know him then there is nothing I can say that you don't already know. The three of us met earlier in the year to do engagement photos and I knew we all would have an amazing wedding day together. As I arrived at Boyne Mountain for the get ready photos the day of the wedding CJ pulls me aside and says "keep quiet, check out this Suit!" In a few images you will see a hot pink suit. Turns out the ever sweet and patient Danielle says to CJ months before "get whatever kind of suit you want". So to her surprise (as he cascades down the Boyne Mountain slope on the chairlift for their "first look") he is in the hot pink get up. Needless to say we had a few great moments with all surprises on Danielle. As we wander to get a few photos of the said suit and Danielle in her stunning wedding dress we turn the corner and what in the world awaits us but a Hot Pink and White '55 Ford Sunliner. Forgive my cursing but as we turned and looked "Holy S***" were not the only words out of our mouths. We met the couple who's car it was and they were happy to have us take photos with it.
Not to worry, the rest of the wedding Cj wore his "Normal" wedding day suit and the guests were non the wiser 🙂
The fabulous Kris form Merry Makers http://merrymkr.com did all the amazing planning!
Amy from Amy Kate Designs http://amykatedesigns.com did all the awesome floral and designs!
Jedi Mind Trip played the fantastic music! https://www.facebook.com/JediMindTrip/
The wedding and reception itself was held on the grounds of The Charlevoix Country Club http://www.chxcountryclub.com at Shanahan's Barn
On to the photos!

Thanks to Ryan for the big help on this day!
Allison and Adam were engaged, Allison called me and booked me. This was 2014. She knew 2 years ahead of time she was going to use us. What a fantastic feeling that a bride and groom plan 2 years ahead of time! In fact I think they booked us before even getting the University of Michigan field for the reception. I'll have to verify that but it sure sounds good reading it right? 🙂 Here are some amazing images with amazing people. Thanks Allison and Adam!
We are heavy into Senior Portrait Season in Grand Rapids. September is a terrific time to get Senior Pictures around the Grand Rapids area. The weather is not as hot and humid, the sun sets a little sooner and the colors on the trees are beginning to change. If your Senior is busy playing sports or has band or other activities into the evening consider taking a few hours off from the morning. Consider this a "better than a dentist appointment". We have many Seniors who do this and I highly advise this for the after school busy senior. Many of our Senior Portrait clients come from all over including Forest Hill Central, Forest Hills Northern, Forest Hills Eastern, Rockford, East Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Wellspring Prep, Grandville, Northview and as far away as Traverse City, Chicago, Lansing and Holland.
If Senior Pictures in Grand Rapids is in your near future consider us.

For the last 21 years I have been photographing event photography here in Grand Rapids. When I started my career here in Grand Rapids I was photographing events with 35mm slide film. If your knowledge of slide film is slim just know that you really had to be a technical wizard with camera f/stops and light to subject distances in a split second just before and during the moment you need to photograph. This training has led me to where I am now. Photographing these same types of events and groups here in Grand Rapids but now with the comfort of digital cameras. {they are just a tool} What I am really hired for is getting the shot. Capturing the moments of an 850 person event. Getting the office group photo done while not "wasting" the time of busy lawyers. Getting in and out all the while photographing you and your company in the light you see fit to help your image and your vision of your company.
Just a few images of what I have been up to lately….while I cannot show some high profile people I have been trusted to photograph it wont hurt to tell you that I have been around the most powerful people in the free world and also have been around the struggling business owner making the most of every second to get her/his dreams to reality, both clients trusting me get the same care and attention.
Is your business looking for an event photographer in Grand Rapids?
Is your Business looking for someone to come in and provide portraits of the staff?
Looking for someone to photograph a group of 3 people or 250 people?
Drop me an email or give me a call to see if I can help.
Thats me up top with Senator Tim Scott 🙂

The Food Safety Scare
The recent Maggi Noodles revelation has woken up the masses regarding food safety standards and dangerously high lead levels in the popular snack. On June 5th , Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), India's apex food regulator, asked Nestle to call back all nine variants of its noodles and to remove the 'no added MSG' (monosodium glutamate) labeling. However, the food industry experts are of the opinion that the Maggi controversy is just the tip of the iceberg. The $30 billion Indian package food industry (might increase to $50 billion market share in 2017) is now expected to be closely scrutinized by the government with laws and standards that are already in place.
A study conducted by World Health Organization (WHO) roughly estimates that at least 143,000 deaths are caused a year due to lead poisoning & exposure in food products. The highest numbers of victims of lead poisoning are children, especially from South-east Asian countries. For decades, lead was added to gasoline, but after staunch protests, US banned it as an additive in 1986. Only by 2011, all the nations had stopped using leaded gasoline. However, this heavy toxic material is getting into the air through industrial emissions, car exhaust. Lead-based paints, lead pipes are helping the metal to get into our soil and water. Lead is one of the stubborn contaminant, which can hardly cling to the upper layers of dirt, water, and can also travel far.
USDA (US Food and Drug Administration) has stated that lead cannot be easily removed from food by washing or other such steps. Even if the MNC's food products are safe & clean, sometimes the food can also be contaminated by the packaging used. Food products like Maggi are manufactured locally, but authorities from FSSAI and other government bodies haven't visited factories to find the source of lead. Immediately after the noodles controversy, FSSAI has sent thousands of samples across accredited private labs to test for lead, but no tests haven't been conducted on PVC pipes (and degraded plumbing), which is used in factories to bring in the water. The alarming quantity of lead mainly enters into packaged items through the water gushing out of the eroded pipes.
Globally, European Union is considered to have the highest food standards. Seven out of the 28 EU countries are placed within the top ten spot of 2015Global Food Security Index. US is in the third place (the consumer health watchdog groups are fighting a long battle against food MNC's). India ranks 79th out of the 109 countries in the index. Bangladesh is the only South Asian country to be placed lower than India. The lack of coherent laws hasn't caused food safety in India a distant dream. The chief culprit of this lopsided food battle is lackadaisical administration and the lack of political will. Except for the Maggi case, state & central governments are mostly happy to settle for a minimal fine with the corporates, instead of shaming them for abusing food safety norms.
Thousands of controversies are encircling our countries' food standards, but the problem is that the big expose doesn't stay long in people's memory, although it brings a short-term awareness. The derogation of food safety standards, all over the world, wasn't just induced by a profit-hungry giant corporation; it also lies in our unwise purchasing decisions.

I know they have less ground speed. P.S. keep making great machines.
