PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new vehicle.
You choose the vehicle, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the vehicle outright for an agreed lump sum (the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.

Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a vehicle once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the vehicle is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period – usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract – when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

This MK5 model Audi A6 trims up and sets about its rivals with a package that's based on a efficiency, technology and, yes, a bit more power. It'll have its work cut out dislodging BMW and Mercedes but it's hard not to love the care and attention that's clearly been lavished on this car.
'A first class journey with a business class ticket': that's how Audi describes the travelling experience you'll get in this fifth generation A6 model. Basically, what the Ingolstadt brand has done here is to democratise much of the technology of its larger A8 and enveloped it into smartly proportioned new bodywork. There's certainly lots to admire here, with advanced mild hybrid drivetrains, sharper yet more comfortable suspension options, sublime cabin comfort and a high-tech all-digital MMI touch response interface. But then then exceptional technology will be needed if his Audi is to be able to face down rivals of the quality of BMW's 5 Series and the Mercedes E-Class.
Engine-wise, things kick off with the 204PS 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine in the '40 TDI' variants, offered with either front wheel drive or quattro 4WD. For six cylinder buyers, Audi offers this A6 with two powerful, smooth engines - one TFSI and one TDI. The 3.0 TFSI V6 turbocharged petrol unit powers the saloon from rest to 62mph in 5.1 seconds using its 340PS and 500Nm of pulling power, topping out at an electronically limited 155mph. More popular though, will be the 3.0 TDI diesel with 286PS. This unit delivers similar performance thanks to 620Nm of pulling power. As before, all A6 models are exclusively equipped with automatic transmission. The 3.0 TDI unit is paired with an eight-speed tiptronic and the 3.0 TFSI with a seven-speed S tronic. Both engines channel their outputs through quattro all-wheel drive as standard. In conjunction with the tiptronic transmission, the quattro configuration is based on the more familiar self-locking centre differential format, while the S tronic transmission works with the even more efficient ultra variant, which is capable of engaging the rear axle instantly whenever needed but decouples it during cruising to maximise efficiency. In conjunction with the tiptronic transmission, the optional sport differential can enhance handling by actively distributing the power between the rear wheels. The driver can select various driving profiles via the Audi drive select system - the wide spread from Comfort through to Dynamic is even more pronounced than in the outgoing model.
The styling of this fifth generation model borrows much from its A7 Sportback and A8 executive and luxury segment stablemates. So there are taut surfaces, sharp edges and striking lines, plus a long bonnet, a long wheelbase and short overhangs. The wide, low-slung Singleframe grille, the flat headlights and the powerfully contoured air inlets lend a suitably purposeful air. In profile, three striking lines reduce the car's visual height. The powerfully taut contours, which are drawn over the wheels, are testimony to Audi's quattro genes. This shape is certainly very sleek: thanks to advanced aerodynamics, a class-leadingly-slippery drag coefficient of as little as 0.24Cd has been achieved. The interior is larger than the outgoing model. Legroom in the rear exceeds not only that predecessor design but also the space you'll get in core competitors, while headroom and shoulder room measurements in both front and rear are also more generous than previously. Up front, the dash features the black-panel design we first saw on the current A8. As there, the centre console is directed towards the driver, as is the top MMI touch response display, which almost disappears into an aluminium clip when switched off.
Eprices start at around £39,000, which gets you the 2.0 TDI diesel '40 TDI' saloon; there's a £2,100 premium if you want the Avant estate bodystyle. As before, this car's three key rivals will be the Mercedes E-Class, the BMW 5 Series and the Jaguar XF. You'll need to get your A6's spec right. There are four suspension set-ups: the conventional steel spring suspension, the sport suspension, the suspension with damper control and the adaptive air suspension, also with controlled damping. 'Progressive steering', which becomes even quicker and more direct as the steering angle increases, is standard. And dynamic all-wheel steering can also be added to further enhance this agility. Plus you can add in various autonomous driving features. And even specify Audi's 'parking pilot' and 'garage pilot' systems that will allow you to stand outside of your A6 and remotely park it: brilliant. A sophisticated MMI navigation system comes as standard - or you can add the optional 'MMI navigation plus' set-up. This has a media hub with high speed data transfer using the LTE Advanced standard. With this more advanced infotainment package, you can further add optional modules, including two sound systems headed by the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System delivering 3D sound. Audi connect online services also provide clever 'car-to-X services' traffic sign and hazard information. They use the swarm intelligence from the Audi fleet and network the Audi A6 with its environment.
All engines in this fifth generation new A6 feature the brand's latest mild-hybrid technology. Here a belt alternator starter (BAS) works together with a lithium-ion battery, enabling the A6 to coast at speeds of between 34mph and 99mph in the interest of fuel economy and to initiate its start-stop function earlier - at speeds of 13mph and below. The engine is restarted from standstill predictively as soon as the vehicle in front starts moving. During deceleration, the BAS recovers up to 12 kW of energy. Let's get to the figures. The volume 2.0-litre 40 TDI diesel saloon version manages 62.8mpg on the combined cycle and 117g/km of CO2. The 3.0 TFSI petrol unit delivers combined fuel economy of between 39.7mpg and 42.1mpg (depending on wheel size and trim choice) and CO2 emissions of between 161g/km and 151g/km). The 3.0 TDI delivers combined fuel economy of between 48.7mpg and 51.3mpg, plus combined CO2 emissions of between 150g/km and 142g/km. We'll finish by covering the warranty. All cars in this class get three years of cover, but whereas BMW and Mercedes don't limit your mileage in this period, Audi rather meanly restricts you to 60,000 miles. Optional extra-cost packages can extend the cover to either four or five years.

I have inside information that Jack will be playing in South America in 2014, I can not wait!
I think is fine Jack!
Everybody knows I'm a super fan and I'm always listening to Jack Johnson, no matter what, he calms me down. I wrote here that F Stop Blues, was the song of my life, but thinking deep, this is the song of my life. Guess what? I'm tired of trying, so I'm just letting it go! I'm really zen lately and I can't even recognize myself. I try to go green and be totally organic, I have hard times taking shower though, I take long showers, sorry Jack but I reuse the water from the washing machine, I don't buy plastic bottles, we have a filter at home, I don't use plastic bags, when I do, I reuse them as garbage bags. We have a beach house and we are growing a lot of fruits and veggies, it's really awesome, I recommend you to do the same.

The Gigglearium!
When Jimmy Giggle and Hoot the Owl find a special magic ticket in the Surprise-a-lat-or, little do they know they're soon going to receive the most magic fruit and vege box there ever was – The Gigglearium!
Home to Cosmo Carrot, Bessie Broccoli and Tommy Tomato, the three most singingest veges ever, the Gigglearium present awesome songs loud, slow, solo, country and opera while the veges dance up a storm.
If ever there was a gig I was born to do the Gigglearium is it. I know I always say I had a ball on all my gigs (and I do) but this was just so much fun to put together, with the amazing Giggle and Hoot team, and Clare Gerber in particular.
Working together with a cast of James Rees, Hamish Fletcher and Naomi Young, who absolutely brought everything and more to this gig, we created these gorgeous performance pieces that were all at once funny, engaging, musical and entertaining. From Bessie's operatic aria, to Cosmo's Ringadingadingadingadingdongs, we made some great tunes.
My personal favourite though would have to be Tommy Tomato's slow song . Ask me sometime about my version of Tommy's backstory – it's all there in the vocals and Hamish's vocals and puppeteering were absolutely first rate.
I may never get to work on the Muppet Show, but doing the Gigglearium, and the Gigglearium special is definitely the next best thing. The Gigglearium songs appear on Claw Tapping Tunes - Giggle and Hoot on iTunes

At the junction of Grigoriou Lambraki and 3rd Septemvriou streets, behind the facilities of Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), a venue was created, which keeps the interest of both residents and visitors of the city undiminished throughout the year.
This is WE, which is housed in a historic and derelict for some time building of Thessaloniki and hosts –in exclusivity in Greece– a snow sports simulator. So, even if it's sunny outside and the temperature is high, WE gives you the opportunity to learn skiing and snowboard, as well as take part in other activities such as climbing, etc.
In the venue, in fact, there is a specially designed space of 600 sq.m., where various cultural activities take place such as theatrical performances, artistic events, etc.

Gorgeous, Kristina! I wish I had 1% of your creativity and ingenuity! Beautiful job!ReplyDelete
You did a marvelous job on this dress, Kristina. I think it looks so much prettier than the original! This is definitely a more wearable length.ReplyDelete
And your Fedora is amazing!
Seriously....?!!!!Girl, you are so talented! I love this dress so much more with your alterations. And, the fedora, you killed it!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, you are amazing! I frequently despair what to do about short dresses from H&M and F21 and even sometimes Anthro. I've tried using petticoats and slips but they dont' look quite right -- your fix looks perfect though :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 27, 2010 at 12:24 PM
This looks great! I would never have guessed the dress didn't come this way!ReplyDelete
Wow, thanks girls...it's always comforting to hear that something doesn't look "handmade". But I guess this is the age of "Project Runway"...handmade is the new chic....ReplyDelete
I love this post! Thanks for sharing x I've just come across your blog and I love it! Will be stopping by from now on xReplyDelete

I also think this looks better than the original! Such a beautiful dress!ReplyDelete
yeah, it s a good idea.. ı can do it for my some little dress... thankss..ReplyDelete
This is a fantastic idea!! Love it..so pretty!! Do you ever post tutorials on how you change things?ReplyDelete
I am forever finding gorgeous dresses and I am ready to part with my money when my gaze drifts downwards and the fabric abruptly ends way too soon.ReplyDelete
Love what you've done with this dress. Looks great on you :)
That's adorable! Im finding the same difficulty here in Korea. They wouldn't dream of showing cleavage but they love their tiny mini skirts! Its almost humerous. All the dresses are too short so as soon as I get my sewing stuff (its on its way) I will be able to shop with a wider selection! :)ReplyDelete
- BelindaNovember 2, 2011 at 1:35 PM
LOL! Well, I personally like short skirts...my long legs are my best feature, but to each her own. I love your creativity in altering things to suit your own personal style. I have no sewing talent, so luckily, I am happy to go short when I find a cute miniskirt, and leave it as is. :-) Just discovered your blog, and will catch up on the archives now!ReplyDelete
You look so cute! I really do agree with you on the length issue. That is really ridiculous! Thank you for inspiring me!ReplyDelete

Changes Coming to Telemetry Registration Process in the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP)
Sub slab depressurization systems (SSD Systems or SSDSs) in Massachusetts require telemetry systems to communicate with system owners and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). This requirement is relatively new (2014) and MassDEP has been working cooperatively with the Licensed Site Professional Association (LSPA) to ensure that the regulations are effective, workable, and compliant. Cooperstown Environmental LLC is helping to lead the way in developing these new rules.
Last fall, Isaac Anderson of Cooperstown Environmental LLC, working through the LSPA Technical Practices Committee and in conjunction with MassDEP, created and distributed a survey to LSPs. The purpose of the survey was to find out how environmental practitioners are implementing the newly promulgated telemetry requirements since the requirements were incorporated into the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) regulations. MassDEP has used the findings of this survey, in part to refine the telemetry device registration process.
EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 2016, based on the survey results, MassDEP has implemented a revised registration process. The new process adds steps to confirm that new telemetry devices, at the time of registration, are able to meet necessary the communication requirements. The new rules require that:
- the devices communicate by either text message or email (new voicemail systems will not be accepted);
- the devices be capable of providing notifications upon shutdown and upon restart; and
- the notifications be made in a format and sequence that MassDEP can retrieve (formatting/sequencing specifications are provided on MassDEP's the webpage).
As part of the new registration process, MassDEP now requires that the registrant conduct a system shutdown and restart test to demonstrate that the device notifications are occurring properly. MassDEP will notify the registrant by email, on the day of the test or next business day, as to whether the test was successful, and if all is well, the registration will be considered complete.
For those devices registered prior to February 1, 2016 (54 systems at 36 sites at last count), MassDEP has been contacting the operators of those systems to confirm their proper operation. In cases where devices are not meeting the communication requirements, including providing both shutdown and restart notifications, MassDEP is working with those operators to bring the systems into compliance. Note MassDEP will "grandfather" voicemail devices registered before February 1st provided they can meet all of the other device communication requirements.
For more information on this topic, please contact Isaac Anderson (firstname.lastname@example.com). The text of an article on this topic, which was originally published in the LSPA's February newsletter, can be read here, after logging in to your LSPA member account.
To learn more about the telemetry device registration process, see MassDEP's telemetry registration webpage: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/massdep/cleanup/regulations/remote-telemetry-information.html

President Barack Obama will make his second visit to Colorado in less than a month today, giving a morning commencement speech at the Air Force Academy north of Colorado Springs before jetting to Denver for a fundraiser.
Locked in a tightening race against presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, the Obama campaign has focused on states that may decide the November election. Besides Colorado, those include Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
When the president spoke at the University of Colorado in April, he made a stop at the University of North Carolina earlier in the day before visiting the University of Iowa the next morning. So far this month, either Obama or first lady Michelle Obama has made at least nine appearances in those swing states.
"Not to take anything away from the Air Force Academy, but the president is clearly making as many stops as possible in swing states — you'd have to wonder about him if he didn't," said Norman Provizer, a political science professor at Metropolitan State College of Denver. "When you come down to it, these 10 to 12 states become critical. … Ten thousand extra votes in a state that you know will vote Democratic won't make much of a difference — but (10,000) to 20,000 votes in a state that could go either way could be very, very critical."
Gallup's daily tracking updates, based on interviews conducted May 8-14, showed Obama was preferred by 46 percent of voters, just 1 percentage point ahead of Romney.
Obama's Denver fundraiser will be held at the downtown Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center; tickets for the event begin at $250 a person and increase to as much as $40,000.

Page Turners
By Elizabeth Marshall
Cecilia Woloch is an extraordinary poet whose 2015 book, Earth, was the winner of the 2014 Two Sylvias Press Chapbook Prize.
Woloch has been a poetry mentor to me for approximately 10 years. I heard her read on the anniversary of 9/11 at the Carter Center in Atlanta and cried during her entire reading. Why? Because her poetry was incredibly beautiful; before that day I had never seriously read nor really liked poetry. I started studying with her the next week.
Earth is Cecilia Woloch's sixth book of poetry. In this collection she writes, according to Terrance Hayes, "with the wonder and resilience that are essential, not only to empathy, but to transformation. Woloch weds us to the natural world through language that is both straightforward and particular." These remarkable poems are hymns and requiems; they are made of "blood mixed with earth." This poet is a total master of the prose poetry form, an example of which is given below.
Her Tree
There was a tree I had loved and had always loved. Silver willow, I had heard it was called. I called it Grandmother-as-a-Girl. I called it Grandmother-Under-the-Ground. I waded the river beneath its shade; my feet in the cool, shallow water, then lay in the sunlight to listen for her. When the storm crossed the meadow—a sudden darkening; great ships of clouds racing overhead—each leaf of my grandmother's tree turned its shimmering back to the breeze; each leaf a tongue to the rain, many-tongued. I stood up in the wind and ran through the high grass, as if through a sea of light. Half afraid that the tree would fly, but I turned to look and the tree didn't budge. Its branches only swayed like the arms of a woman waving good-bye. A woman who'd stood in the doorway, once, of a house that would burn to the ground when she'd gone, shaking the crumbs from her apron for birds. A woman I knew would die too young, earth in her mouth, and keep calling me back. I reached the road with my arms full of wildflowers, weeds, one twig I'd snapped from a branch. All this I saved for an altar, a grave. Drenched in the sky—gray, then silver, then green.

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday???!!
Me and Mum took the day off work on Monday and I took her to The Deep in Hull, we had a lovely day and on the way home we called in at Hobbycraft, it's the first time I've been as there isn't one within an hour of where I live so I've never made that 'special trip' out to one, I only bought a few bits and pieces, one of which are the butterfly stamps that you can see in the middle of my desk. I must admit I was a little disappointed with the card making section, but I wonder if some of the other stores have a better selection as I had heard alot of good things, oh well it saved me some money as I really don't actually need anything.
You will also see my WOYWW badge towards the back of my desk, Thanks Julia :o) I will be taking a peek at some desks later, have a great day x

I think most HCs are the same, it's all centrally purchased, so it just depends on store size I guess. I like that they stock scrapbook lines that my local store doesn't, so I have more choice and no guilt for lack of Local store support! Pretty springy cards April,I know why but am alarmed by the sight of the hammer!!

Chronic Fatigue Compensation Claims
Chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS is a disorder that characterised by excessive fatigue and exhaustion and is a complicated condition that cannot be explained by and matched with any underlying medical condition. The causes behind CFS are unknown to this day although research has tried to point out a combination of factors including psychological stress, that could be inflicted as a result of a trauma from an accident.
If you have been medically diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Tylers Solicitors may be able to help you claim for compensation. Simply call our experts today on 0800 699 0079 for reliable legal advice.
- Injured in the last 3 years?
- Not your fault?
- Seeking Compensation?
Freephone: 0800 699 0079
(We deal with cases all over the UK)
24 Hours – 7 Days A Week
What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
The possible causes include viral infections such as the Epstein-Barr virus, mouse leukaemia, and human herpes virus. Although there is no direct link, these viruses are the highest likely to cause chronic fatigue syndrome. Another speculated cause is a weak immune system as people who suffer from it has slightly impaired immune systems. Hormonal imbalance is also assumed to bring about the disorder when there are abnormal blood levels of hormones produced in the hypothalamus, the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland. The nature of these imbalances is however still under research and its significance is relatively unknown but it has been tried to be used in explaining the causes of CFS.
There is no identified or recognised test that can pinpoint a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, since it is not accompanied by any other medical condition. Regular tests may not be able to exactly reveal the syndrome. The symptoms include extreme fatigue, the affected person encounters memory loss and regularly loses concentration. The symptomatic person feels muscle pain, joint pains without reddening and swelling and a sore throat. The lymph nodes on the neck or in the armpits become enlarged. There is lack of sufficient sleep and exhaustion that lasts 23 hours after a physical or mental exercise. The factors that increase the likelihood of chronic fatigue syndrome are age, stress and sex. It occurs mostly in individuals between their 40's and 50's. The difficulties of managing stress can contribute to the disorder.
What Are the Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome If Not Treated/Diagnosed?
As a result of chronic fatigue syndrome individuals exhibit reduced social interactions, they sink into depression, they encounter lifestyle changes and their productivity will be affected by absences from duty. Most diagnosis of CFS is for symptom relief and it is not really prescriptive. Possible remedies for persons suffering from CFs are consumption of anti-depressants in low doses of relieve pain and improve sleep as well as sleeping pills. Graded exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist and psychological therapy can be recommended as help from a doctor. Therapy helps in motivating the individual to have positive outlook on life because they will have certain limitations such as social and lifestyle changes imposed by the disorder.
Chronic Fatigue syndrome can occur due to work related reasons and the company or your employer has a legal right to pay you Chronic Fatigue Syndrome compensation. The compensation should be provided by the help of solicitors and through legal processes. Cases of CFS have been reported to occur in men and women who have participated in in war zones and those who work in industrial firms where there is exposure to harmful chemicals. It can also occur in cases where the work schedule is rigid making employers overwork causing them to burn out and fatigue. This affects their sleep, their management of work related stress and ability to rest. So it is critical for the public to be informed on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome compensation and how you can access it.
Are There Any Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Organisations?
Suffering from an industrial or work related Chronic Fatigue disease can be mentally debilitating. There are organisations in England and the UK that can provide specific support and from the help of professionals in the field:
- Action for M.E – Offering advice and welfare support to those with symptoms of M.E
- Counselling Directory – This is an educational resource which offers guidelines on causes, triggers as well as treatments for asthma.
Are There Any Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Case Studies?
In 2012, a railway worker was handed a chronic fatigue syndrome compensation of £37, 000 after being exposed to dangerous chemical fumes from a faulty electrical box as he was working. The 44 year old man lost his job since he could not get out of his bed because of severe pain. He felt unwell after exposure to the fumes and his symptoms ranging from aching joints to chest pains and poor memory grew worse. He was diagnosed with chemically caused CFS with 60% disability. After his contract was eliminated he was advised by his trade union to claim compensation. The solicitors argued that the rail employer should have maintained the electrical box properly for workers' safety. The rail company admitted liability and settled the matter out of court.
In a second case a widow made a CFS compensation claim for £1,000,000 against her former employer for damages and illness that she incurred leading to the loss of her job. The woman claimed she had been unable to work since 2006 after being terminated from her 12 hour a day job by the affects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As a result of the illness, the woman cannot walk unaided without the aid of two walking sticks. It was explained to the court that the disorder was as a result of working in excess of 12 hours a day. The company unlawfully terminated the womens employment in the company, who ignored her doctor's recommendations and still insisted that she went to work and when she could not.
For most cases you can claim a minimum chronic fatigue compensation of £27,500. Although the claims vary because of factors like the severity of the disorder, the expected recovery time and the money spent in trying to contain the symptoms of the condition. The length of time you wait until you can claim is determined by factors such the complexity and the level of information the solicitor needs to gather from other sources.
One of the main advantages of making compensation claims is that apart from being awarded money for your troubles, you will prevent the same thing that led to the occurrence of chronic fatigue disorder from ever happening to anyone else who could be a member of your family working somewhere. No win no fee claims were introduced in the UK in the mid-1990s to help people get a fair hearing and enabled them to access justice when they had no financial ability to pay for legal representation. Nowadays claimants are expected to pay the legal fees of their representation from the compensation they receive although solicitors still offer no win no fee services in a number of cases.
The above information is to advise anyone who is planning to file for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome compensation claims that solicitors can work on behalf of you to fill for compensation.

Day 7 - Monday - June 2 - Namu to Shearwater
My kayak on the dock in Namu.
Since I did not have to worry about high tides reaching my campsite or bears stopping by for a mid-night visit, I was able to get a good night sleep in the bunkhouse at Namu. My alarm watch woke me up at 5am and I started packing up and getting organized. I carried my gear down to the dock and made some breakfast in the floating dining room. Rene, Peter, and Tony, a sailor from Alaska that I had talked with yesterday, came over to say good-by and wish me luck on the rest of my trip.
A lone kayaker on a trip like this invariably meets many very nice people who they will most likely never see again. Phrases such as "see-you-later" are inappropriate, as you both know perfectly well that will not happen. Good-By, good-luck, and happy-trails are some-how the only farewells that seem fitting.
Looking north up Fisher Channel.
By 6:40am, I had launched from Namu and was making my way across Burke Channel. The weather was cloudy and calm and paddling today was much easier than yesterday. The tide was rising, creating a current in Fitz Hugh Sound that was going north in the same direction I was paddling. On top of that, the little wind there was came out of the south helping me on my way. I was amazed to see how fast the shoreline was going by. It seemed sometimes like I was flying.
Looking south down Fitz Hugh Sound as I cross over to Hunter Island.
I crossed Fitz Hugh Sound on a diagonal course heading northwest from Humchitt Island, passing Fog Rocks on my right, and reaching the western shore about a mile south of Carpenter Point. By 11am, I had paddled 17 miles, and was rounding Kaiete Point and the entrance to Lama Passage. I had planned to camp somewhere in Lama Passage this evening but the campsites recommended by the guidebooks looked liked they would be underwater at high tide. The day was still early and I felt good so I decided to continue and try to make it in to Shearwater.
A small islet off Hunter Island in Fisher Channel.
By 4pm, I had been paddling 9 hours and 20 minutes and had covered the 32 miles to Shearwater. The weather now was cold, and it looked like it was about to rain. It was not immediately obvious where the best place to tie up would be because all the dock edges were high, so I paddled around the marina until I found the Harbormasters Office. The personnel there directed me to a small dock attached to the gangway where I could tie up. This spot turned out to be perfect, as I did not even have to unload the boat to get it up on the dock. The dock itself sloped into the water like a boat launch ramp so all I had to do was slide my kayak up the slippery wooden boards and tie it up. This turned out to be the easiest landing yet.
Bella Bella appears ahead in Lama Passage.
I grabbed a few things and walked up to the hotel that was located right next to the marina. I kept my fingers crossed as I inquired about a room for the night. My luck held out as they had one room available for the next two nights and it was only $85 a night. Not bad at all I thought, for a nice room in this remote location. Right after I got all the things I needed into the room, it started to rain. The rain continued with virtually no let up the entire time I was in Shearwater.
Shearwater finally comes into view.
Before long I had taken a shower, gotten into dry clothes, and was sitting down in the Shearwater restaurant ordering dinner. After dinner I used a pay phone in the hotel to contact home for the first time in seven days and let everyone know I was still alive and doing fine.

I have been excited to get started so I'm so glad the day is finally here! And it makes it even better that I get to jump-start my year with all of you ladies, husbands, sons, daughters and friends. 🙂
And here is a video intro with the absolute worst lighting ever. My son told me I spoke in the voice I save for people I don't know. I decided not to read too much into that!
First things first.
We need to nourish ourselves spiritually every single day. Make time for it. Even if it's in the shower or while you hide under the table because you are so exhausted from a night of lost sleep with little ones that you couldn't drag yourself out of bed. He understands mothers better than mothers understand mothers.
Don't beat yourself up for what you haven't done. Give yourself the grace to do what you need to do.
The Spiritual Challenge this week is to write out the following verse every day during your devotions:
"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee."
Exodus 15:26
I say to write it, rather than just read it, because writing things down helps them to absorb into our minds and hearts. And memorization generally comes so much more quickly.
I'd also urge you to write out your prayer. It is so easy for our minds to wander while we're praying and writing them down as we train ourselves to focus is an amazingly effective tool.
BONUS activity:S.O.A.P. the above verse
- S-Scripture: write it out
- O-Observation: what are you taking from the verse
- A-Application: how does it apply to your life practically
- P-Prayer: write out your prayer with this verse as your guide
**Note:If you have a great thing going in your daily devotions, by all means stick with it. My goal isn't to dictate anybody's time with the Lord. It's simply to give you ideas and encouragement to make it a priority and to find it meaningful. All you have to do to stay eligible is to seek Him daily.
To grab a printable version of this week's spiritual challenge, click here.
Second thing second.
Grab those tennis shoes and get your sweat on. I mentioned that you can choose whatever activity you wish and that hasn't changed. The only condition is that you work at it for a minimum of 20 minutes per day, at least 4 days this week. Walk, run, bike, cross-country ski, snowshoe, ice skate, swim, pop in a video or hit a live class. Do what works for you and give it everything you've got. Don't worry what the person next to you has got or the lady down the street. That doesn't matter. This isn't a competition it's a collaboration of a whole bunch of people wanting to be better at being themselves.
If it takes you 20 minutes to pop out 10 push-ups and you've given it everything, BAM. Tomorrow do 11 push-ups in 19 minutes.
The highest rate of burnout occurs when we try to perform at somebody else's fitness level, even unknowingly.
Ask God to show you clearly where you are and then ask Him for strength to keep with it until you can barely see a tiny speck of that place way off behind you.
If you need a starting place, check out the sidebar every weekday for a suggested workout. But keep in mind, it's only a suggestion. Adapt, modify or completely disregard. Totally up to you.

The word alone is powerful. Which makes today -- International Women's Day -- a day of exponential power that embraces the mind, body, and spirit.
For me, International Women's Day is as personal as it is powerful. I gave birth to my daughter on this day -- a day that is meant to celebrate all women. So, in my role as a mother to my own daughter, I have also learned to embrace the task of global motherhood.
This broad idea of womanhood and mothering is something that I truly honor. It has not only fueled my ability to give birth to my daughter, but also to give birth to my business, my foundation, my passions. It informs the respect I have for life in every state: past, present, and future and it bolsters my mission to preserve culture, empower children and propel integrative health care forward.
In my journey as a woman, I have learned to look at the word "wo-man," with new eyes. When you really look, you see there is a man in every woman. We are inclusive and I celebrate both the feminine and masculine energies. In my professional life, I have consciously designed knowing how important it is for a woman to step into her own power. I began my career dressing women, and now I address them because I know this is the birthplace for real change.
International Woman's Day is about collaborating with women, uniting as mothers, and connecting to create real change. This year, I had the privilege of doing exactly this with many extraordinary women. I think of how moving it was to attend the Women in the World Summit one year ago. I think of Maria Shriver and her deeply motivating Women's Conference that brought together 16,000 women and honored heroines like Oprah Winfrey, Sandra Day O'Connor, Carolyn Blashek, Oral Lee Brown and Sister Terry Dodge.
I witnessed incredible ingenuity at the Inaugural TEDWomen conference, led by the brilliant Pat Mitchell. TEDWomen connected a global community of women who had stories to share; women who have greatly inspired me like Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Roshi Joan Halifax, and Jacqueline Novogratz. As well as my dear friend, Eve Ensler, who took the stage to share her powerful story from the beginning -- from the Vagina Monologues to her passion for the rights of women in the Congo to her courageous battle with cancer.
In September, I had the great honor of co-hosting the WIE (Women, Inspiration and Enterprise) Symposium with Arianna Huffington, a powerful, inspiring communicator and Sarah Brown, a woman who's passion for safe maternal health has served as a catalyst for young women everywhere. This conference helped me to galvanize the fashion community into action as well. It was amazing to see designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, and Carolina Herrera create time during fashion week to design a symbolic white dress to be auctioned off in support of the cause.
When I think about International Women's Day, it is impossible for me not think about the unbelievable community of women in my life. It's impossible for me not to think about the young women rising, the women who represent our future. As a grandmother, I think about my granddaughter -- the woman she will be in 10 years. I think about the world we are creating for her to step into as a grown woman and the unique ways in which she'll make a difference. I do believe it is our duty to connect, communicate and collaborate with this generation of women rising. I know, from personal experience, how important female mentorship is. My life has been forever changed because of my first mentor, Anne Klein. So, I know that a moment of exposure to real passion can unlock a bottomless well of purposeful living. It is because I passionately believe these things that I am offering the opportunity for five young women to join me at the 2011 WIE Symposium. I want to share the inspired brilliance of WIE with this generation of women who represent our future. I invite you to visit www.urbanzen.org to learn how you can join me at the WIE Symposium this year.
Currently, I am in Israel with my Kabbalah teachers Karen Berg and Ruth Rosenberg. During this trip, I had the great honor of visiting the tombs of ancient Israeli matriarchs -- Sarah, Leah and Rachel. I am humbled by the power and presence that these great women continue to exude and feel even more grounded in my belief that the world needs empowered mothering.
So, in honor of International Women's Day, I want to thank all women for laying the groundwork for our children and grandchildren. Let's join together because, collectively, we really can mother the world.

Why are birds able to perch on power lines without being electrocuted?
The reason is because...
for current to flow in the birds body, it needs a live and a neutral conductor.Secondly the circuit needs to be complete.When the bird is resting on the cable, which is live, cant be electrocuted simply because the circuit is not complete.The birds body will become charged for a short period. Should the bird make a wrong move like - while resting on the cable, let its tail feathers touch the second parallel cable, it will be instantly killed by the lethal current.Both lines being live will result in a short-circuit and the birds body will receive a large current.To reduce this transmission lines are spaced well enough for the birds.It is then safe to say that when you touch any of the cables and not be stepping on the ground (Earth), you may not be electrocuted.That's why a squirrel can run across an electrical line, but sadly die when its foot makes contact with the (grounded) transformer on the pole at wire's end.You may want to try at your own risk.

For intricate details about the Australian Toyota 86, its standard features and specs please have a look at our previously posted story of the official media pack booklet. The booklet has all the clever Toyota 86 marketing and infinite details about the car, its engineering and the companies passion and new found sporting direction. This was the only enthusiast website invited to the launch next to well known publishing media and professional journalists who by now all know one another very well and frequently hop from car launch to car launch in Australia and abroad. A number of them are fantastic drivers and have no trouble pushing the new Toyota 86 or any other car to its limits.
We hope this review is different, and gives your more of a buyers and regular drivers and enthusiasts perspective rather than an official professional journalist or professional driver perspective, or a pretty rehash of the official Toyota 86 Australian Media kit and its photos and videos (although they are available for your view on this website) and ultimately show the great amount of work that Toyota Australia has done to successfully launch their new sports car. Further this car will get compared to a whole host of cars below and well above its $29990 entry level price tag. At the launch amongst the journalist chitter chatter this car was being compared to the mazda mx5, golf gti, hyundai veloster turbo, porsche boxter, audi TT, subaru wrx and many other popular sports and sporty cars and expect to see many such comparisons in their magazines alongside various time trials and track tests.
All the journalists at the event were flown in, while we instead drove to Canberra from Sydney in a heavily accessorized VW Golf 118 TSI, which is just a regular hatchback. After seeing numerous photos of the Toyota 86, since its announcement in November last year, like little kids we again felt a rush of excitement and amazement at how the car looked in person when seeing a couple of red Toyota 86s in the Burbury Hotel (Canberra) car park as we were driving in to park. The car just looked so much better sitting there in front of us and brought out a great amount of thrill and excitement and easily looked like it would fit in the then speculated ~$45000 price range, funnily enough some of the catering girls at the race track though it was an $80000 sports car. The rest of the pre-launch day unfolded with an organised garage photo shoot and the details of the day can be seen from our pre-launch toyota 86 review.
The start to the launch day was extremely early, 6am. After breakfast we were under the impression that Toyota would organise a mini bus and drive us to The Sutton Road Driver Training Complex, to then drive some of the cars that were involved in last nights photo shoot. Instead we were taken down to the hotels car park once again and none of the cars had been moved. They now had name tags on every window and two journalists were allocated per vehicle. I soon realised that this meant that we would be driving the red Toyota 86 GT to the event and could not wait to get behind the wheel, however my name tag was on the passenger side window, but as a consolidation prize I thought at least I was lucky to be put into a manual car. To my surprise a friendly journalist from Motor Magazine offered for me to drive first and I eagerly grabbed the opportunity.
The drive to the racetrack was 112km and there was a drive change about half way though. Sitting in the car I instantly noticed how low the seating position was compared to my car. The seats were very supportive and it did not take long for me to adjust into what felt like a very comfortable driving position. The steering wheel size felt perfect and there was loads of room for my feet and a comfortable foot rest. I depressed the clutch and moved the gear stick into neutral. The stick felt very direct and smooth and it too was at a very comfortable position, whilst the clutch was softer than my current car, but I had no trouble quickly finding the friction point.
After a brisk warning from Toyota to drive carefully we were on our way, with the odometer set to zero to make the directions easier to follow. We were now part of a fifteen car convoy and would have looked very impressive on the road to any onlookers. While driving the car we instantly noticed the nicely weighted and communicative steering wheel and throaty engine coming into the cabin using Toyota's new sound creator intake system. I loved the fact that the engine could rev to such high RPM, and let the car get there in second gear to hear the magnificent growl of the engine. When it came to corners the car felt very confident and capable and had no problem eating up the many twisty roads that were on the way to the track. However once the Motoring journalist took his turn, he really showed me what the car was capable of as he meticulously cornered the car along the apex of every bend, closely following a black Toyota 86 GT in front of us. He too liked the car, and commented how the suspension was very compliant despite the cars low seating position.
Before the driving event, everyone was present for the Toyota media launch where the pricing and the majority of the information in the media pack booklet was disclosed in a speech by Tada San and Official Toyota Representatives. Soon after a number of questions were asked by journalists and the answers to those were covered in our previous story. Overall though, everyone was extremely surprised at how competitively priced the car was in the Australian market, and many that pre-ordered without knowing the price would be extremely pleased. The five tracks were headed by the Bates family, with a family member in charge of every track. Each group did the tracks in a different order and being in Group 3 we started with the drifting track. The tracks that were covered all varied from slow speed, to fast speed maneuvering as well as drifting and a dirt track (which one would not have expected for the Toyota 86). The idea behind this was to show how the car performed in all of these scenarios. I had a video camera and made sure that I got as much footage of the car in action as was possible, even as a passenger to some professional drivers such as Neal and Rick Bates as well as Dave Russell. All these guys have won numerous titles from Go Kart Racing, through to Rally, V8 supercars as well as various exotics and drifting events. In short, they can drive, and drive far better than me or any of the journalists there who are also spectacular drivers. Please look at the official video footage and non official footage taken by me to really see what the cars are capable off. This to me is the true test of the cars sporting abilities.
While doing the courses in the car I realised that my driving abilities were nowhere as good as those of the professional drivers and that it would take many hours of practice to be able to master driving this car around a racetrack. Further it made me realised that this car really did have a beautiful balance when pushed to the limit by me in the slow driving drift events and I was quickly able to adapt to balancing the counter steer to straighten the car out of a drift. Even though I did not have the control or finesse of the professionals I definitely understood what the media reviews were praising the car for. Similarly, when taken for a drive by the professionals in the dirt track (rally style) and around a fast track (blocked off road) I could really see how the professionals simply made the car dance around the apex of various bends and hairpin turns using the handbrake and how hard and skillful professional racing really is. It also made me experience first hand the true pureness and passion of this drivers car.
Many have called for more power and a turbo/supercharger on the engine, but this to me now seems laughable as I could see that very few there could really even master driving this car around the various tracks with the current amount of power, let alone the same car with a more powerful engine. As a passenger in the car of the Toyota 86 driven by a professional driver I could best describe the experience as violent in the number of Gs I felt as i held together the video camera to stop myself from flying around the cabin and the speed with which this car was able to maneuver through and around bends with such poise and balance and quick turn in towards any direction. The car is definitely not underpowered, but does need to be kept in the higher revs 4k+ for maximum aural and road performance. Another comment that resonated at the track was that the car was so much fun with its current tyres which are not as wide and sticky as what could be optioned on the car. Many commented that having stickier tyres would potentially ruin the fun of the car. I agree with their comments as I now realise that stickier tyres would stop the car from sliding and drifting around the corners so elegantly and would remove the fun factor. In reality, with stickier and wider tyres you would need to push the car at much higher speeds to get the same enjoyment and that would not be easily achieved on public roads and most smaller race tracks.
In short this car is terrific fun and easily performs well above its weight and would shames many cars many times its price around a race track, It really is that good. Anyone who is considering doing any kind of club racing should not look further than this car. Once you fold the rear seats you can even fit four spare tyres to help you swap back from your track day tyres to your normal rubbers. Toyota and Subaru are both in a wonderful position with these cars as they have created a new niche that in my opinion will bring them hoards of new buyers.
Taking a step back from the racetrack and back to normal day to day driving I can easily say that the car looks stunning and much better than the $29990 price indicated. I could also hear some journalists saying that they would get the GT model in white with the black TRD wheels, and that certainly is a popular look amongst enthusiasts. I love the fact that this car will be easily customizable using either official TRD accessories (which may have to be imported) and knowing that the aftermarket tuning scene will bring many more to the equation. I am pleased that the Australian pricing does not make me envious of the American pricing or feel as ripped off as I usually would when comparing the price of overseas cars. The interior of the car is very comfortable with medium soft plastics and all the controls within comfortable reach. The interior most reminds me of a porsche boxster with a Toyota twist and the engine is simply gorgeous. Noise insulation is pretty good and the car has a very solid feel and build with a nice thud when closing the doors. Combined with Toyota's reliability this is one hell of a fun car. I think the GTS model is very well appointed and the bigger brakes, wheels, alcantara and leather interior, Xenon Headlights, Touch screen GPS system, nicer dashboard with digital speedo etc.. are worth the extra few thousands but, even if you do not get them, you are not missing out on even 1% of the fun of this car. From the outside the GT and GTS models are not marked and for most part very few people will be able to tell the difference but will simply be impressed by the cars sporty / sexy styling.
I found reaching for the seat belt a little hard due to the bucketing of the seats, but would not trade that off as you really do need the extra side support due to the cornering abilities of this car. I also found that on the GT model, the Tachometer was center featured whilst the speedo was smaller and to the left. This made me focus more on the revs than the speed I was doing, which I would need adjusting to. Lastly I would also have liked a reversing camera fitted standard to the GTS model, however this does not appear to be an official accessory to the system, even internationally. However with a strong popularity of the car I am sure such and other addons will shortly appear on the marketplace. Please note that the Auto GT model does not come with an LSD, but chances are if you have chosen that model, you won't really need it. I did not drive the automatic (which looks similar to the manual gear stick), but did hear some say that they much preferred the paddle shifters in the GTS model to the manual due to ease of driving. I was also told that on the GT models the paddle shifters were not standard and that the manual shifting mode was down for down and up for up, which to manual drivers would be counter intuitive.
The theme of the number 86 is resonated through many details of the vehicle, such as the boot, carpets, the width of the bore, the width of the rear diffuser etc… and really does make you appreciate the extra effort Toyota and Subaru went or make the enthusiast driver feel at home and comfortable. This is a 2+2 sports car and with plenty of room in the front, and standard amount of room in the back for an occasional passenger, I would easily pick this car as a daily driver especially knowing the reasonable servicing costs and high Toyota reliability. This is a car that is going to be a true modern classic and will generate a huge following. I don't think there is another car in the world that performs so well on the race track and on normal roads in the price bracket. Finally if you love driving, or just want to look cool in a sports car, then this is currently the Best and surprisingly affordable proposition on the Australian market. Please enjoy the photos and video footage we took for your viewing pleasure below. Thank you for reading and please share your comments and opinions in our forum. We would love to hear from you, especially if you have ordered a Toyota 86 or a Subaru BRZ, you really are in for a treat.

I pass through the white picket fence and take in the big backyard. The smell of freshly cut grass greets me as I walk across the lawn. Sun-kissed ripples glide across the pool. The jungle gym with the fort stands patiently. A tire suspended by a rope slowly swings back and forth from a thick oak limb.
The adventure started here. A once in a lifetime journey few can say they had experienced. Marley Perry had traveled into deep space after discovering a spaceship in her mom's vegetable garden. The red-headed girl met danger at every turn and rescued the king and queen with the help of her new BFF.
There is a rustling of leaves above me. I look up and see a tiny figure with a mop of red corkscrew hair shimmying down the gnarly oak tree.
"Hi," the voice drifts down from above.
I grin, not able to hide my amusement for the precocious firecracker. Marley jumps the last couple of feet and lands with a thud. She bends over and wipes the dust off her pink sneakers.
"Hi Marley," I say, "I thought your parents told you to use the door when you want to go outside."
Marley's cheeks turn a lovely shade of pink and a fluster crosses her face. She gazes up at her second-floor bedroom window and her escape route, the gnarly oak tree. The corners of her mouth twitch up sheepishly. "I forgot."
I dismiss Marley's embarrassment and walk over to the patio. "I'd like to ask you a few questions. 'Pink Sneakers in Space' will be coming out in a couple of weeks, and I'm sure my readers would love to get to know you."
"Okay." Marley's face brightens as she sits in a folding chair. A pitcher and glasses were on the table with a plate of cookies. "Mom made us snickerdoodles and lemonade." The little girl leaned forward and poured two glasses.
"Thanks," I say. "So, what's your new friend's name? What's she like?"
"Ally," Marley gushes, "and she's a real princess. Ally is the best friend ever! I can tell her anything and she won't tell anyone."
"Every girl needs a BFF. But you're not sad? Your friend lives on Lovian, and you won't see her again."
"But I will see Ally again," Marley says with excitement and bubbles, "She is coming to visit soon and going to spend the night."
"Wow. I didn't think your parents knew about your adventure."
Marley cast her eyes downward, and she pushes a stray lock of red hair away.
"Marley, you didn't tell your parents did you?"
"No. But I'm going to. I'm just waiting until I get married."
My eyes narrow and I wonder maybe it would be best if Marley's parents don't know about her travels in space. But how will she hide her alien visitor, so I ask. "How are you going to explain Ally? Your parents will notice her brilliant blue hair."
"I have a hat for Ally."
I laugh. A hat for a disguise. I wonder how long it will take Marley's parents to catch on. An airplane flies overhead. I look up and watch as the jet leaves a trail behind. I think about how brave Marley must have been to climb into the spaceship and fly to the outer reaches of the Milky Way and face danger with the Blobarians.
"Are the Blobarians as creepy as I hear?"
"Naw, not once you get use to them. I like iguanas and cats."
"Iguanas and cats?"
"Yes, Blobarians are big and look like iguanas. They have long whiskers like my cat Boris too."
What an odd combination, lizard people with whiskers. Interesting.
"Marley, is your homework done?" a voice drifts out the kitchen back door.
"Almost. I still have to do my spelling," Marley answers her mom. "I have to go. Ally is supposed to be here soon. Why don't I text you when she's here and you could interview her too."
"That would be great. Thanks."
Marley gets up and gives me a hug. "See you soon," Marley says.
I get up and take one last look at the vegetable garden as I leave. Someone had filled in the hole created by Princess Ally's spaceship. The tomatoes on the vine were red and ready to be picked. What an adventure. I'm almost envious, though I doubt I would have had the courage to get in a spaceship and travel beyond the stars.

The knowledge about the remaining available energy in each part of the network is essential information for the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). A simple approach used to get the energy consumption in this type of network is one in which the sensor node periodically sends to the sink node information on its available energy. However, this approach becomes unfeasible, since the amount of energy spent in this solution is prohibitive. The main goal of this work is to apply sampling techniques for the attainment of the energy consumption in WSNs. The results show that the samples are representative and that through them is possible to construct energy maps using only one subgroup of the nodes that compose the network, causing some energy save.

I am a non-certified wine gob. Yup, that's a cross between a wine snob and a wine geek. Because I am not deep-pocketed enough to be snob and I know far too little to be a geek.
As owner of a shamefully unevolved palate and a compromised olfactory function (possibly due to prolonged over-exposure to nail polish fumes), I suffer from memory impairment and occasionally struggle with foreign words containing more than two syllables (which means I like 'chateau' and 'villa' but am stymied by 'tenuta').
Years of apathetic wine drinking evaporated when a particularly tasty Losada Bierzo came my way at dinner one evening. My curiosity was then nurtured by a succession of increasingly delicious wines (not all on the same night, of course). Then one day, a crudely drawn, geographically inaccurate map did it; made it all click.
The map made me do it.
Out of that map came a fascination with wine that I have been satisfying with visits to the wine shop; piles of wine books, documentaries, notes, and a stocked cellar (read: wooden racks cobbled together one on top of another). Dinner with wine soon became more common than without.
I don't know everything about wine. I'm far from an expert and I will never be one. But I know enough to know what I don't know. This blog is about figuring it out for myself along the way and having a fun, anxiety-free time doing it.
And so far, I think I'm doing OK.
You can find me on Instagram as @girl.meets.wine and on Twitter as @thetipsywriter. Scroll down for feeds from both : )

Agh! I got busy and fell behind again!
I felt so badly for not participating in my last few challenges
I knew I had to do something drastic!
So I jumped into something totally out of my comfort zone!
(like really really out of my comfort zone!)
I made up a sheet of watercolour ATC's and then just put pen to paper.
As soon as an idea popped into my head I didn't question it,
I drew it before I could ask myself "is this going to look good?"
And then I shaded and shaded and shaded
(yes I am shy when it comes to shading!)
until I felt each tile looked old and antiqued . . .
or maybe just kind of dirty I'm not sure which! ;o)
Anyways, here are my challenges starting with. . .
Challenge #99 - Tangle the Yin Yang symbol
Challenge #100 - 100 String with Bijou
Oh my! Isn't Bijou just SOOOOO fun to draw?!
Challenge #101 - Roman Numeral 1 - Tangles Cle, Dillo and Fleavy
Totally not my normal style
but this is a Challenge after all! ;o)
So now I have a Spring assortment of watercolour ATC's to use up.
I even kept the little scraps!
So I'm all caught up with the challenges, the question now is
am I going to continue drawing or start another project that has been equally neglected lately?
Have a great day!

A Widow's Grief

Your facts are wrong. First was planned by Obamas defense team. Turned down by Obama because date of execution was after inauguration of Trump. Secondly you can have the best planed operations and until the bullets fly no one can guarantee an outcome.ReplyDelete
He tried to honor the widow, sure timing was bad but don't blame Trump for actions on the ground. I have been in these type of situations and when the shit goes south it damn sure is not because the president was not in the situation room.Replies
How do you know it wasn't "executed" by Obama because it was after Trump's inauguration? There may have been MUCH more at play thasn such a simplistic assertion.Delete
Um, because the raid did not occur until after Trump's inauguration (at least a week, in fact) and Presidential orders do not work the way you suggest they do, but thanks for writing!Delete
Pretty sure it's the current President who makes the decision, not the former one.Delete
No, you have your facts wrong. The final approval was left to Trump. Just because something was in the planning stages when Obama was President, do not drop responsibility on his doorstep. Trump was the C-in-C when the raid was approve, not Obama. And it is clear from the reporting that he did little vetting of the pros/cons before greenlighting the raid.ReplyDelete
As for whether he should have been in the Situation Room during the raid, he sure as hell should not have been on Twitter (as has also been reported) and his absences from the Sit Room speaks to the lack of seriousness he takes his job as commander-in-chief.
But hey, if you're cool with a guy who cares so little about the lives of the soldiers he leads using a widow to score political points, I suppose you won't be persuaded by reason or logic. Go Make America Great Again, or something.ReplyDelete

Well said scary. It was the most astonishing piece of political capital and made all the more disgusting when you think how he has treated other grieving female relatives of servicemen in the past. The fact that the US (and by extension our own armed forces here in the UK through NATO and a 'special' relationship) has a commander in chief that cares so little about the lives of the The people he commands should terrify every right thinking person.ReplyDelete

I expect that The Donald will do anything he can to garner "likes" and attention. But, "it is a special kind of gross" the way that Repub congress members tolerate or support the anti-American and trivially ludicrous actions and statements of the current presidency.ReplyDelete
Watching the looks on Pence and Ryan's faces as they watched him and looked at each other made me want to vomit.
