Stretchy Kitteh

I like to take naps in the sun too. :)ReplyDelete
Wow Jasper, that stretchy in the garden chair sure looked exhausting. We especially liked the limp tail and kicker dangling out the side of the chair...ReplyDelete
We dunno...you look a bit tense to us....ReplyDelete

Should I carry these on for 2017? I'm not so sure I will to be honest. Felt like I should at least do a December one to finish off the year! I'm going to do a blog round up soon, pull some stats together from the year! That'll be interesting, at least for me…
Manchester Christmas Markets!
You just can't beat a good pancake, am I right? Arguably the best thing about the Manchester Christmas Markets. Oh, and those ginger biscuits too… I twice, once with family and once with friends and enjoyed both times. A lot of the things there are super expensive, but the stalls are always lovely to walk around.
LUSH Event
Early December I was lucky enough to be invited to my first ever LUSH Event – the Beauty School Event at LUSH Arndale. It was a fab evening, and I definitely learnt a lot about the company through the brilliant team there. We were given handy tutorials, information on how to use certain products and even got to make our own. You can read my write up on the LUSH Arndale Beauty School Event here.
I feel like this film needs a mention. IT WAS SO GOOD. Oh I loved the storyline. Moana and Maui were both brilliant characters and the songs are just so catchy. I'm sure you all know by now that I work in a cinema right? Well we're obviously still showing Moana so I'll be walking down the corridor and all of a sudden hear 'Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you're welcome!' Then it gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day and I don't hate it at all. I love it.
Blogmas happened! I told myself I'd do it this year and got really excited for it. I did do it, but I missed two days… Not the end of the world, I'm impressed I managed to post 22 days out of 24 to be honest! If you want to look back, all my Blogmas 2016 posts have their own category for ease.
Particular favourites include: LUSH Never Mind the Ballistics, 8 Reasons to Love Christmas, My Winter Trail Running Must-Haves & 5 Reasons Why Winter is My Least Favourite Season.
I almost forgot about this… How ridiculous. Christmas Day itself was great, though it didn't feel like Christmas to be honest. We went out for dinner, absolutely stuffed ourselves and spent the rest of the night playing Trivial Pursuit and eating yet more food. (Cheese and crackers, obviously)
Park Run
I successfully managed to attend every Park Run that I could (bar the days I was working) and got my Christmas Eve run in there! I was planning on doing two on New Years Day as it is possible with the two local to me, but I just honestly don't think I'll have the time.
I'm staying at a friends after their NYE party and the original plan was to go to my second nearest local Park Run at 9am and go to my usual at 10:30, but I'm also starting a 10 hour shift at 12:15 so yeah, I can't go home in between the run and work. That's why I'll probably just do my usual at the later time, then head straight to work and change there. Maybe I'll be up bright and early to do the 9am one… We'll see. (Don't hold your breath!)

If you're like most people, you'll probably be stuck with a lot of leftovers this Thanksgiving holiday season. Do you have a system for managing all the leftovers? Do you send each guest home with a dish, or maybe a little bit of everything? Does the majority of the food get thrown away or shoved down the garbage disposal? Or, do you end up cleaning out the fridge to make room for all the leftovers, but then somehow manage to end up throwing all that food away just a few weeks later?
What if you could plan out your Thanksgiving leftover meals without having to spend extra time in the kitchen or cooking a main-course meal to accompany all those side dishes? Below are some examples of great Thanksgiving leftover recipes that will help you conserve food while also saving yourself some work by enjoying some perfectly good food that is almost as delicious the day after Thanksgiving.
Day-After Turkey Soup
One of the most delicious and easiest recipes to make with your leftovers is turkey soup. Chicken soup and vegetable soup is a national favorite, and turkey is a tradition when it comes to food items on Thanksgiving. Combine both of those these, and turkey soup is the perfect day-after recipe. Cut up the turkey, thrown in some veggies, and you're on your way to a delicious meal.
Carcass of one turkey (about 1½ pounds) without skin
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups diced skinless turkey meat (white or dark meat)
½ pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½-dice
1 cup small dry pasta shape, such as ditalini
¼ cup loosely packed fresh dill spigs, chopped
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt
Put the turkey carcass, broth, garlic, bay leaves and thyme in a large Dutch oven (cut carcass in pieces if necessary so it fits) and add enough water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; lower heat and simmer, uncovered, about 40 minutes. Strain the soup through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl; discard the solids. Add all but 2 cups of the broth back to the Dutch oven; reserve the remaining broth for another use (it will keep refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 1 month).
Add the turkey meat, green beans, corn and sweet potatoes to the pot; cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add the pasta and continue to cook, uncovered, until the pasta and potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the dill and pepper and season to taste with salt. Serve with the bread.

Turkey Pot Pie
Everyone loves a good pot pie, and luckily, Thanksgiving leftovers normally provide the perfect ingredients for a delicious pot pie. Have too many sides with a lot of turkey that you're not sure what to do with? No worries! Just dump everything into a pot pie and enjoy.

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
4 tablespoons flour

2 potatoes, peeled diced

2 tablespoons chopped parsley
½ cup frozen peas, thawed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt butter in saucepan and cook chopped onion until tender. Stir in celery and carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add potatoes and simmer until tender. Stir in turkey, parsley and peas. Pour mixture into casserole. Top with pie crust and brush with egg. Bake for 30 minutes until crust is golden.

After-Thanksgiving Pizza
Pizza is a cornerstone of American food, and what could be better than creating a pizza from Thanksgiving leftovers? As long as you have chicken, turkey or sausage, some veggies, or anything else that could be thrown on top of a pizza, you have just what you need to make the perfect after-Thanksgiving pizza.

Desired toppings

Top with 2 cups cubed cooked turkey, 2 thinly sliced plum tomatoes, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion. Bake at 450° for 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded colby Jack cheese and 4 cooked and crumbled bacon slices. Bake until cheese melts. Top with chopped fresh avocado.
Mexican Pizza: Sauté 1/2 lb. sliced smoked chorizo sausage and 1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion in 2 tsp. hot olive oil until onion is tender; drain. Combine 4 oz. softened cream cheese, 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 tsp. lime zest, and 1 Tbsp. lime juice; spread over crust. Top with sausage mixture and 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels. Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves.
Apple-Goat Cheese Pizza: Sauté 1 thinly sliced Granny Smith apple and 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion in 2 tsp. hot olive oil in a nonstick skillet until tender. Spread 1/3 cup fig preserves over crust. Top with apple mixture and 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese. Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is slightly melted. Top with 1 cup arugula and 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans.
Shrimp-Pesto Pizza: Spread 3 Tbsp. refrigerated pesto sauce over crust. Top crust with 1/2 lb. peeled and cooked, medium-size shrimp (4 1/50 count) and 1 cup halved grape tomatoes. Bake pizza at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle pizza with 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.

Movie News & Reviews
Japanese film 'Our Little Sister' premieres Friday at Tower Theater in Miami
Miami fans of highly acclaimed international films will have a chance to watch a flick selected to compete at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
"Our Little Sister," a film by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda, will premiere 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Miami Dade College Tower Theater in Little Havana, 1508 SW Eighth St. A special reception will take place before the screening featuring live music by the Japanese Taiko spirit drummers, Fushu Daiko. Members of the Japanese consul, including Deputy Consul General Takahiro Ogihara, will also be in attendance. The film then runs through Aug. 18.
Jaie Laplante, executive director of the college's Miami Film Festival, describes Kore-eda as a humanist filmmaker "capturing the intricacies of developing emotions of all ages."
"I have appreciated Hirokazu Kore-eda's films for many years, after he first caught my attention at Toronto International Film Festival's New Beat of Japan program in 1998," Laplante said. "Since then, his films such as "Nobody Knows," which played at Miami Film Festival in 2005, "I Wish," and "Like Father, Like Son" have deeply touched Miami audiences. When the opportunity to show Kore-eda's newest film was presented to us, we leapt at the opportunity to share "Our Little Sister" with Miamians."
The two-hour drama is adapted from a manga, a series of Japanese comic books by artist Akimi Yoshida.
"It tells the story of three tight-knit adult sisters, Sachi, Yoshino and Chika, who meet their teenage half-sister, Suzu, from their father's second marriage on the day of their father's funeral," Laplante said. "Suzu comes to live with her older half-sisters, but her presence is a constant reminder of the unresolved resentments of the breakdown of the three older sisters' original family unit."
The movie is in Japanese with English subtitles.
Laplante said the Land of the Rising Sun is known for producing quality films.
"Japan is one of the great cinema-producing nations of the world, and Hirokazu Kore-eda is one of Japan's most important contemporary filmmakers," he said. "It has been two and a half-years since his last film, "Like Father, Like Son" played at Miami Dade College's Tower Theater Miami. Don't miss this rare chance to see his films on the big screen in a shared experience with other filmgoers."
If you go
▪ What: MDC Tower Theater presents Miami premiere of Japanese film, "Our Little Sister."
▪ Where: MDC Tower Theater Campus, 1508 SW Eighth St., Miami.
▪ When: 7:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 12. The film continues to screen at the theater through Aug. 18.
▪ Tickets: $15 adults; $12 seniors, students and MDC staff; and $10 MDC students, Tower Theater and Miami Film Society members. Free parking available in the lot behind the theater. www.towertheatermiami.com.

Still a ways off…
From finishing the Fourth Key.
Still, I managed twenty pages this weekend before in had to take a break. I had to fight through a couple sections, and it didn't help that inkept putting movies on, instead of music, while I worked.
But that's nearly 10k words. Which isn't bad for a weekend, even with all the video distraction…
That said, I think I've hit a good stride in the plot and words should be flowing here for the forseeable future. I hope to get the first draft 'in the can' by the end of September. If I can, then there is a real possibility of getting the new book in print for StarFest 2012. We'll see how it goes.
Next up, the site!
I've started editing entries on the wiki, whilst Mike works on the main page (mostly. I'm sure he's working on the wiki too). He's added sales links and cover art to all of the book pages, and a sign-up spot to get on the Kalijor news letter. Lots of other, under the hood, things have gone in as well, and I think it's all starting to add up to awesome! Good thing there's no charge for awesome….
On a personal note, I often say that I try to judge each piece of media on its own merits, rather than compare them to other things. This has led me to an ability to enjoy just about any kind of 'horrible' movie or book, etc.
To that end, one of the movies I watched this weekend, while I should have been writing, was Battlefield Earth.
All I can really say is wow. I think that may be the single worst movie I've ever willingly subjected myself to. It was riddled with plot holes, fraught with poor acting and even worse dialogue, and did a terrible job at every sub-plot and sub-text they tried to force into it. What a dirge. If you ever have the chance to see it, I highly recommend… That you go get the root canal taken care of. Or go slam your head in the door of a '57 Chevy or anything else that could be considered less painful.
Okay, that's about it. Thanks for listening, and I'll talk at y'all later!
End of line…

On the beach, Micky, Michael, David and Peter engage in a game of checkers. Peter goes to get his checkers when they wind up getting tossed into the air onto the sand, and pretty soon all four Monkees on the beach hopping up and down bare footed on the hot sand! A Hollywood producer/director Lester Kramm spots them and, viewing them as typical teenagers doing a typical new dance step, decides he wants them as extras for his new beach movie, I Married A Creature From Out Of Town, one which he calls "a message picture, and the message is: if we don't finish it in 10 days, we're in trouble!" Along with his nephew/assistant Philo, Kramm approaches the guys but they want no part of it until he tells the salary is $30 a day, and in no time the guys are decked out in bathing suits on top of surf boards.
Later while on the set, the guys are admiring the scenery including beautiful beach babes when Kramm announces the star of the movie, teen idol Frankie Catalina, a blonde with a Frankie Avalon-type hairdo whom The Monkees discover is an arrogant, rude, egotistical narcissistic deadbeat spoiled punk rotten by success and bright lights, who couldn't sing, feared the ocean, was allergic to girls, and resorted to reading lines from cuecards. During a shoot of a volleyball game sequence with Frankie, he gets angered accusing David of upstaging for not letting him catch the ball and soon starts belittling each of them. Outraged, The Monkees strike back and slyly spoil every one of Frankie�s scenes, with David applying monster makeup to his face, Micky switching his cuecards during a love scene, and Michael speeding up and slowing down a record to which he lip-synchs during a scene with beauty contestants. Viewing the day�s rushes the following morning, Kramm finds The Monkees have upstaged, sabotaged and just plain downright humiliated Frankie in every foot of the action, singing �A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You�, as the foursome also watch on hidden. He angrily accuses Kramm of conspiracy to ruin the film and his million dollar image and storms out of his contract and the set.
Back at their pad, Peter, Micky and Michael decide which man is more perfect to replace Frankie, and they decide on David! They imagine a 1920s cliffhanger sequence set to �Last Train To Clarksville,� with Peter as the victim, Micky the villain, Michael his aide and David the hero; David thwarts Micky and Michael�s attempts to trissect Peter with their train and rescues Peter who now wears the villain�s moustache, knocking David unconscious and tying him through the railroad track. After dragging David from hiding in the bedroom (he doesn't want to be a star!), they decide which one should be the replacement in a draw-the-straws (literally! They actually drew pictures of straws!)...and David loses. The other three Monkees then begin a campaign via disguises: with Michael and Peter as record traders handing Kramm a David Jones album; Micky, Michael and Peter as magazine reporters; and Micky as a DJ hosting The Crazy Micky The D Show on W-GO-GO-GO introducing David�s three songs �Teardrops In The Playground�, �These Boots Are Made Kicking� and �It�s Been Lonesome In My Saddle Since My Horse Died� which has David singing practically the same verse in 3 different arrangements.
They convince Kramm so well that he selects David as his replacement star. After introducing David on the set to them as his own discovery, the guys discover David now draped in the same blonde wig Frankie wore has adopted Frankie�s highhanded, egotistical behavior, and Micky, Michael and Peter decide to save him from himself. So the others take action, and as Kramm starts shooting another volleyball scene they go to work, finally leaving David buried and tied in the volleyball net on the sand. The next day David tells Kramm he�s giving up his motion picture career, deciding it�s spoiling his character, and joins his mates in singing �Valleri.�
|Tag Sequence:
David Jones relates a humorous story concerning his brother-in-law, a policeman; The Monkees talk about playing their own instruments at live concerts.
|Production Notes:
The original NBC telecast of �The Monkees At The Movies� coincided with the 33rd birthday of Don Kirshner, former music supervisor of The Monkees TV series.
�The Monkees At The Movies� featured, instead of �When Love Comes Knocking�� (as credited and summarized in TV Guide), �A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You,� written by Neil Diamond and produced by Jeff Barry; this was probably done at the last minute. It was the second time on the series a different song was featured than credited and listed in TV Guide; the first such occurrence happened for Episode No. 5, �The Spy Who Came In From The Cool�.
Trivia Footnote: With the end of The Monkees' first season on NBC looming, this would be the lone appearance of �A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You,� in a first-run Monkees segment. Its next appearances will be in 2 redubbed episode rebroadcasts: those for �Monkee See, Monkee Die� (5-1-67) and �Your Friendly Neighborhood Kidnappers� (5-15-67).
The syndicated version of this episode is missing the writer and director credits. It's also missing two frames - one during the �Last Train To Clarksville� sequence and one during the scene where David Jones is introduced as the new star of the film.
At the time �The Monkees At The Movies� aired, network programming had been affected by a strike brought on by the AFTRA (the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists)---but, fortunately, the affection had been limited to newscasts, variety shows and documentaries.
Interview segments seen at the end of this and Episode No. 25, �Alias Micky Dolenz�, and the previous, �The Monkees In Manhattan� (a.k.a �The Monkees Manhattan Style�), were filmed back-to-back probably following The Monkees' cast and crew wrap party in February 1967. One of the topics of this week's interview, The Monkees' playing their own instruments at concerts, ironically foreshadows events in the very next episode, �The Monkees On Tour�, The Monkees series finale for the first season!
Here's some data of the famous "Monkeewalk" footage used in the main title sequence for The Monkees second season! It was shot during the �The Monkees At The Movies� film sessions probably for intended use in the musical number. The Monkeewalk was inspired by the walk seen in many Marx Brothers� films.
Footage of the �Valleri� musical number is reused from its previous appearance: Episode No. 23, �Captain Crocodile.�
�The Monkees At The Movies� incorporates footage featuring our maraca-shaking hero from Manchester from Episode No. 2 �Monkee See, Monkee Die� (disguised in a suit of armor), No. 10 �Here Come The Monkees� (as a lawyer), No. 11 �Monkees A La Carte� (as a chef), No. 13 �One Man Shy� (as a little old lady), No. 20 �The Monkees In The Ring� (in the ring as "Dynamite" Davy Jones), No. 21 �The Prince And The Paupers� (as Prince Ludlow), and No. 29 �The Monkees Get Out More Dirt� (as a pop artist). A clip from another episode, No. 7, �The Monkees In A Ghost Town�, which features a fantasy Western sequence involving Michael in a dual role as Black Bart and Slade and David as Kincaid, kicks off the cliffhanger parody romp set to �Last Train To Clarksville�.
The characters of The Girl (portrayed by Pamelyn Ferdin) and her Mother (portrayed by the late Aileen Carlisle) were given credit in "Movies"' end titles and Screen Gems Storylines entry, but were never actually seen in the penultimately aired segment. According to the original synopsis for �The Monkees At The Movies,� the girl shoves her mother forward and announces she sings. The mom lets fly a voice that can be heard for miles, and Kramm, Philo and The Monkees join in on the ear-splitting audition.
This episode includes excerpts from Brian Wilson�s �New Girl In School� (a 1964 Top 40 hit for surf duo Jan & Dean), and 3 brief versions of Stu Phillips� �I Really Love You,� sung by David Jones under 3 different titles: �Teardrops In The Playground,� �These Boots Are Made For Kicking� (an homage to the 1966 Nancy Sinatra hit �These Boots Are Made For Walkin'�), and �It's Been Lonesome In The Saddle Since My Horse Died.� Jones and Bobby Sherman cut these recordings during an evening session at RCA Studio A in Hollywood on Monday, August 22, 1966.
The scene of The Monkees hamming it up with surfboards from this segment was incorporated into the main title sequence for The Monkees' second season.
The panning aerial shot of the water crashing onto the beach seen in �The Monkees At The Movies� (right after the sub-main titles) is reused in Episode No. 58, "Mijacogeo" (a.k.a. "The Frodis Caper").
|Trivia Notes:
For his ficticious Crazy Micky The D Show On W-GO-GO-GO radio program, Micky uses a coffee can to shout into with his microphone to assimilate echo effects. The brand name on the can partially covered in black duct tape is Kraft Foods' unassuming Maxwell House. Micky's bit as wild DJ Crazy Micky The D on W-GO-GO-GO foreshadows a certain incident involving Micky, Michael and David overtaking the radio station KRUX-AM 1360 in Phoenix, Arizona in the very next episode, No. 32, �The Monkees On Tour�, and wound up foreseeing an event in Micky Dolenz' off-screen life. Crazy Micky The D became for real, as Micky In The Morning reached WCBS-FM 101.1 in New York City - prior to it being abruptly pulled in June 2005 due to WCBS-FM changing format. (WCBS-FM's has since reverted to its original format, as of July 12, 2007.) By the way, Micky The D is an obvious lampoon of Murray The K (nee Kaufman, 1922-82), legendary DJ of the New York City airwaves in the 1950s and '60s.
"Teen sensation" Frankie Catalina's name refers to Frankie Avalon, an actual teen idol at the time the episode was made. "Avalon" is the largest city on the island of Catalina, 22 miles from Los Angeles. And Avalon's costar in the 1960s Beach Party movies, ex-Mouseketeer Annette Funicello, was of course one of the featured players in The Monkees' 1968 feature film HEAD
Once again, Micky is heard to imitate the late Don Adams of Get Smart (NBC/CBS, 1965-70) fame; he previously did so in Episode No. 5, �The Spy Who Came In From The Cool�, and No. 10, �Here Come The Monkees� (Original Pilot Film), and will do so again in No. 41, "The Card-Carrying Red Shoes".
Another scene from this episode shows Michael trying to trade a stack of albums to Peter for his copy of the album David Jones (Colpix #CP 493, issued 1965). (In a scene from the 1968 movie HEAD, where The Monkees make their way through crowds of screaming fans in The Valley Auditorium, watch for a fan clutching the same album.) Also, Peter gives brief mention of music group The Lovin' Spoonful, famous singer Bobby Darin ("Mack The Knife," "Splish Splash") and Blind Lemon Jefferson, one of the greatest country blues guitarist and founder of the Texas blues. Blind since birth, his popular blues style in the 1920�s made him the first commercially successful male blues singer.
Just before he and Luthor Kramm encounter record collectors Michael and Peter on the beach, Philo rifles through a stack of publicity photos and calls one of them "Robby Rafelson"--which is in reference to The Monkees producer Robert (Bob) Rafelson.
In the scene where Philo is rifling through the publicity stills, he also calls out "Roland Kirk, Kirk Roland," most likely a reference to the great jazz saxophonist/flautist.
We learn that Kramm had a previous film under his belt: Beach Party Honeymoon.
We learn here that Philo is also Luthor Kramm's nephew!
The four contestants in The Miss Surfside Beauty Contest: Miss Zuma Beach, Miss Hermosa Beach, Miss Malibu, Topanga and Sunset.
Michael and Micky gives reference to the Hollywood news periodicals Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, respectively, in �The Monkees At The Movies.� Coincidentally, it was the September 8, 1965 issues of both Daily Variety and The Reporter which carried the now-legendary "MADNESS!!" audition ad for The Monkees TV series.
The title I Married A Creature From Out Of Town is a satirical jab at Paramount's 1958 scifi horror classic I Married A Monster From Outer Space, starring Tom Tryon and Gloria Talbott.
After being introduced as the new star of the film, David emerges from the tent wearing the same tigerskin robe as worn by Frankie Catalina. David wears the robe again in Episode No. 38, "I Was A 99-lb. Weakling".
A couple of scenes find Kramm wearing the same blue-and-white shirt worn by Peter in Episode No. 13, �One Man Shy� (a.k.a. "Peter And The Debutante").
"The Monkees At The Movies" guest Bobby Sherman shares a birthday with its writer, Gerald Gardner: July 22. Extra Roxamme Albee, who makes a token appearance in the episode (she can be seen in a scene from the �A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You� romp smooching Catalina just as Micky pops out of the bowl of popcorn next to them), was also born on July 22.
|Guest Cast Notes:
Linda Albetano (Tina) played the role of Tall Girl in the 1967 United Artists film Beach Red. She had a turn with Monkee guest actors Burt Mustin ("Monkees Marooned", "The Monkees Christmas Show") and Olan Soule (�The Monkees In Manhattan� [a.k.a �The Monkees Manhattan Style�]) in a January 17, 1967 episode of The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (NBC, 1966-67), "The Moulin Ruse Affair."
Pamelyn Ferdin (Girl) later played the role of Peggy in Sigmund And The Sea Monsters (NBC, 1973-75), Lucy Baker in Lassie (CBS/Syndicated, 1954-74), Edna Unger in The Odd Couple (ABC, 1970-75), and had a guest role in Star Trek (NBC, 1966-69) as Mary in the October 11, 1968 episode "And The Children Shall Lead". Ferdin is best remembered as the voice of Lucy Van Pelt, which she provided in 2 of the Charlie Brown specials on CBS in 1969 and 1971, and the movie A Boy Named Charlie Brown (National General Pictures, 1969).
The late comedian Jerry Lester (Kramm), older brother of performer Buddy Lester, got his first break earning $750 a week on Cavalcade Of Stars (DuMont, 1949-52).
The late Hamilton Camp (Philo) later provided a valuable amount of cartoon voices, including Greedy and Harmony on Hanna-Barbera's Smurfs (NBC, 1981-90). Camp has recently been seen in the 2000-02 Fox-TV series Titus as Merrit. Camp appeared with Monkee guest alum Eldon Quick (�Monkees A La Mode�) in a April 18, 1968 episode of Bewitched (ABC, 1964-72), "Samantha's Secret Saucer." Sadly, Camp, not yet 71, succumbed to a heart attack on October 2, 2005.
Prior to his appearance as Catalina on The Monkees, singer Bobby Sherman's first big break came in 1964 when his performance at a Hollywood party landed him a part on the musical television show, Shindig (ABC, 1964-66). But it was his role as Jeremy Bolt in the sitcom Here Come The Brides (ABC, 1968-70) which made him a household name. Shortly thereafter, Sherman guested in a March 19, 1971 episode of The Partridge Family (ABC, 1970-74), "A Knight In Shining Armor," its first season finale, which served as the pilot for the short-lived sitcom Getting Together (ABC, 1971-72). Sherman reportedly purchased Robert Moog's synthesized keyboard from Micky Dolenz; the latter having employed grandiose use of it during the sessions for The Monkees' 4th album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd., in August 1967.

- Compensation
The compensation module supports the ability to override system generated planner budget form Admin Tools > Compensation > Budget Override.
Select the compensation plan to apply overrides to and then search manager's form by user name and add to plan list for budget override.
The system will list any compensation plans that have been configured to use overrides.
<comp-budget-override override="true">
If your current compensation templates are not configured to handle budget override then when you go to Admin Tools > Compensation > Budget Override: you will see the alert message: No Template Found!
If you do not see the Budget Override link in Admin Tools > Compensation, the budget override permission needs to be turned on via Manage Security > Managing Administrative Privilege > Find User or Group > Compensation Administration > Budget Override.
If you would like a template configured to support budget overrides, please open a case with Customer Success. There are no costs involved with this and typical turnaround times will apply via our Technical Services Engineers.
• Budget override is applied on individual plan (comp form).
• Budget override can only apply to compensation form templates with override flag turned on.
• Provide in-line edit to view and override current budgets for selected plan.
• The overridden budget will replace current budget and original budget will be backed up in backup column.
• Only last overridden budget will be kept.
• All budgets are overridden based on the factor.
• At this time, the budget override will not impact custom columns created at the individual level.
• The budget override will only change the overall team budget at the top of the form.
• The override budget factor will be applied when budget is recalculated.
Helpful Information:
- The budget override feature is intended to change team budgets for individual compensation planners only. The override is at the form level, and therefore cannot be used to change the budget for an entire hierarchy, department, or other group of forms. If you want to make changes to the budget for an entire hierarchy or organization, you would need to override the budget for each form in that group. In order to move the budget from one executive to another, an administrator needs to override the budget for both executives' forms, as well as the forms for every compensation planner below them in the hierarchy.
Reporting on Overrides
- There are a number of reports available to validate Variable Pay data. Go to: Admin Tools > Compensation Home > Select correct plan > Plan Setup > Validation Reports:

Sports betting
There are is one big pro and one big con to UniBet.com.au's sports betting interface. The pro is that there is a supremely handy search engine on the site that allows you to hunt down the particular event, player or team you want to bet on. All you have to do is enter the search field and type your player, say Hawthorn's Sam Mitchell, or your team, maybe the NFL's Green Bay Packers and it will bring up all the markets involving them. Ditto for the league or sport. Type NBA or try tennis. It's very, very handy.
The con is that there is no menu that show all the sport markets available. You will find the ones coming up, but, unlike other similar bookmakers, there is no menu down the left hand side or across the top that contains every single event that you want to bet on. It does however, have a shortcuts menu, that heavily focuses on Australian sporting events.
You'll find pretty much every major league sport in the world, but some of the featured sports include:
- American Football
- Australian Rules
- Badminton
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Bowls
- Boxing
- Cricket
- Cycling
- Darts
- E-Sports
- Elections
- Entertainment
- Featured Events
- Field Hockey
- Financial
- Futsal
- Golf
- Handball
- Ice Hockey
- Live Betting
- Martial Arts
- Motor Sport
- Netball
- Novelty
- Olympic Games
- Quick Multi
- Rugby League
- Rugby Union
- Snooker
- Soccer
- Special Events
- Surfing
- Table Tennis
- Tennis
- Volleyball
- Winter Sports
UniBet.com.au has a mountain of racing markets available to punters. Whether you love the thoroughbreds, greyhounds or harness racing, there is something for every on on site. You'll find UniBet.com.au covers every Australian race and also features a plethora from overseas, with all the big ones covered. The interface online is very easy to use and is packed with the information you need to make an informed betting choice.
Deposit and withdrawal Methods at UniBet.com.au
UniBet.com.au offers plenty of deposit options that are quick and easy to use and help you get your money into your betting account. It also has a pair of withdrawal options that make it very simple to access your winnings once you've got a big one home.
Other deposit options
POLi: Perfect POLi requires no credit card. All it requires is an online banking account in your name. The POLi add-on can use your bank account online to immediately transfer funds into your betting account. It only takes a couple of swift clicks and you are home.
Direct Bank Transfers: These take a little longer and can be made over the phone or on your net banking account. It's almost exactly the same as using POLi, except it cuts them out and you then have to wait for the bank to do its banking to see your funds in your account – a task that can take them up to two business days. If you don't mind waiting, then this is the deposit option for you.
BPAY: Australian members can use BPAY to deposit funds into their account via internet or telephone banking. To make a BPAY deposit, log in to your financial institutions online or telephone banking portal and follow the prompts to make a BPay Bill Payment. You will be required to enter the Biller Code and your Customer Reference number, which you can find under 'Make a Deposit' on the UniBet.com.au website. It can take up to three days to appear in your betting account once you have completed your BPAY transaction, so make sure you plan ahead.
Beneficiary name: WorldPay AP Ltd
Biller code: 15958
Bank transfer: Don't let this scare you, but UniBet.com.au touts on its website that a bank transfer can take from three to 10 working days to process. Those estimates seem a little far fetched. We know of transactions that have appeared two days after submission, so we would hope the 10 day forecast is the absolute worst case scenario. It would certainly not be feasible if that was occurring all the time.
Credit card: UniBet.com.au is one of the few online bookmakers that allows you to withdraw to your own credit card. It is much quicker than a bank transfer, but you're obviously hamstrung by the fact that it may not be real cash – it's the bank's money.
Accessing UniBet.com.au from a mobile device
If you want to be successful in the world of online gambling these days, you have to allow your customers to get mobile. Fortunately, UniBet.com.au has invested in a very snazzy mobile app that can work on Apple iOS and Android devices, including smart phones and tablets – you can directly download the app by tapping the button on this reveiw page on your mobile. The live streaming is an outstanding feature of the app, offering over 30,000 events per year that you can watch live. This includes sports like tennis, football and the NBA. We love the comprehensive live coverage which allows you to watch the games and follow all the in-play markets at the same time.
It's hard to fault UniBet.com.au as a 'best of the rest' type. While it is a massive bookmaker worldwide, we feel like they are still finding their place in the Australian landscape. As we have mentioned, their focus on the welfare of their punters is commendable. The bookie goes by the motto 'By players, for players' and we think they live up to that ethos with their attention to detail and the fact that they put their punters first.

The above book is now available from http://www.lulu.com/ where the following description will be found -
With encouragement from Arthur Carden, Chuck Carden has agreed to make available for posterity, in book form, a large part of his research on the family, which includes entries for over 5,900 Carden descendants and spouses living in USA. They mostly descend from one or more immigrants from Cheshire, England. An attempt is made to indicate which Carden males have submitted samples for DNA analysis and what conclusions can be drawn. Though only twelve branches of the family in America are covered the book will be of widespread interest. Purchase now is advised, as the next edition in a few months' time will be more expensive.
The next, more expensive, edition will contain only minor improvements such as better artwork on the cover.
I personally believe that this 570-page book, densely packed with information and with an excellent index, should be in the library of every American member of the family, whether they belong to one of the twelve branches or not.

Second person point of view in fiction creates distance ─ for a character but not necessarily for the reader. When a narrator says "you" she means herself, a character, and not you, the reader. This is a tool to allow a character ("you") to reveal emotionally painful events, which she deems too difficult to express directly in the first person narrator mode. Think how people frequently talk like this. It's a way of pushing repugnant feelings away, but in fiction it can carry greater emotional impact than first person point of view because the character is not telling the reader directly how she feels. With first person point of view the reader is always conscious that a narrator is telling him something. With second person point of view the reader comes to realize the depth of the character's feelings, and whenever a reader comes to a conclusion about a character himself it has a stronger impact than if a narrator or another character told him. Why? Because the reader is beginning to identify with the character. Second person point of view is a structural technique to bring the reader into the story.
Use second person point of view to reveal emotion

A Heart of Peace
by Rodrigo Silveira
Today's Motivational Short Story by Rodrigo Silveira is a true story I heard from a good friend of mine. The person that shared this experience with me is a very successful business man from Utah. The subject of this motivational story is his partner, whose name is Alvin Sorano from El Salvador.
Back in the 60s, somewhere in El Salvador, Alvin's father (whose name I do not know, but will refer to from this point on as Richard) was a body guard to the President of El Salvador. One day, however, Mr. Sorano father was involved in some sort of accident and broke his back. Due to the circumstance, the President decided to release Richard of his duties. Sadly, the President also decided that Richard knew too much information. For this reason he demanded that Richard be killed.
As the President's servants made their way to Alvin's home in order to get rid of his father, Richard was tipped off about the situation. He then put Alvin (who was 10 years old at the time) and his little sister (age 11) atop a horse and told them to hide at a certain place and return in two weeks, by which time a plan would be put in place to move the two of them to the United States. Shortly thereafter Richard was captured and shot nine times before he was left for dead.
Miraculously, someone found Richard's body and rushed him to the nearest hospital as he struggled for his live. As the President received news that Richard was still breathing, he sent out his servants to the hospital and ordered them to stay there until Richard was dead. Not long afterwards the line went flat, and Richard departed this world.
Two weeks later, Alvin and his sister returned home, and as arranged, were moved to the States. Their mother had been moved earlier, and soon the three of them were together in Southern California. Alvin and his family was also joined by two of his older brothers.
At the age of 16, on a nice spring day, Alvin decided for the first time to skip class and come home in the middle of the day. As he sat on his living room at 12:00 p.m. that day, a couple of Christian missionaries knocked on his door wanting to share the Good Word with Alvin. He asked that the missionaries come back that evening, so Alvin, his mother, and the rest of the family could hear the message. The missionaries came back as agreed, and soon after Alvin and his mother were converted to this new religion. Alvin says joining this new faith was the day his live turned around for the better.
Seven months after his baptism, as Alvin was now 17 years old, his two older brothers came to him with automatic guns and a message for him. They said that the man living just a few blocks up the street was the man that had coldly murdered their father all those years ago, and they should now to take his life in revenge. A good detail to be added to the plot at this point is that when Alvin was just a little kid and Richard was still working for the government, for whatever reason, Richard gathered the family together one evening and made the announcement that all major decisions were to go through Alvin. His word would be the final saying on any specific matter. So this was the reason the two older brothers came to 17 year old Alvin before shooting the man who'd taken their father about a decade before.
Alvin told his brothers to stay put. He walked to the man's house on his own, no guns in hand. The door received three brief knocks. The man answered and was greeted by Alvin. They shook hands. Alvin introduced himself and let the man know he was the son of the Richard Sorano, the former bodyguard to the President, whom he had killed. Alvin then said the following words:
I forgive you. My family and I hold no bad feelings towards you. I forgive you.
He then turned around and left the house.
Walking up to his brothers (who were 21 and 25 years of age) and say:
It's over. We kill him and this will go on from generation to generation. The hatred must stop here. We must break the cycle.
The brothers were obedient to Alvin's instructions.
Several years went by and one day Alvin discovered a surprising truth. The man whom he had forgiven, the man who had murdered his father, he was also a government agent back in the 1960s. When the President had ordered him to kill Richard, this man actually refused to do so. He told the President he was no murderer and that he could not do this. The President then firmly told this gentleman that if he would not kill Richard, then he would have him killed for not following his orders. Not only that, the President told this man that he would also kill the man's wife, all his sons, all his daughters, and then all his relatives. What a situation! What would you do?
The man, in an attempt to save his family, went through and shot Richard as commanded by the evil President. Since that day, he exiled himself to the United States, living in hell for the thing he had done. His live had been so miserable ever since. Then one day he was visited at home by non other than the teenage son of the very person he'd murdered. This was the day Alvin told him he was forgiven. WOW! How do you think Alvin's words made this man feel?
Alvin had a heart of peace.

What a, uh, cool idea. Idea being that the feds got so big and so out-of-control because of air conditioning. If those mausoleum-style office buildings of theirs were sweat factories, there's be a whole lot less interest in occupying them.
Besides, eliminating air-conditioning (or making it so expensive that it effectively eliminates it) is what Wormtongue's administration is after with its bans on coal and oil for producing electricity. All in the name of combating dubious climate change. The Democrat wing of the ruling class should set a good example for the rest of us. Believe it when you see it? Me too.
Via Instapundit.
UPDATE: Instead, Lurch wants to ban our air-conditioning. Of course he does. A threat to the planet, doncha know. Not his, you understand. Not the air conditioners of the ruling class. Oh, no. Just ours.

The period from 3900BP to 2508BP is known as the 'Great City States of Samuelonia' era. By 2508BP four great city states had emerged, which was Francisco, Correana, Jademine and Vallcadini. The four great city states were united in 2508BP to form the Kingdom of Samuelonia by King Samuelus II of Francisco.
Early City StatesEdit
The first city states of Samuelonia started to appear around 3900 BP.

*Kingdom of Gyr – 3600BP – 1901BP; The Gyr was a Kingdom occupying the Isles of Maria. The Kingdom of Gyr was conquered by Samuelonia in 1901BP.
Kingdom of Francisco-CorreanaEdit
In 3896 BP King Zeus fell ill and died. Queen Samoria, divided the Kingdom between her two son's, Prince Theodorus was named King of Francisco, along with the Ebine, Naithid and Phenisa territories and the younger Prince Nobarius was named King of Correna along with the Vassel states of Shuquilat, Minbarrium, Lamanerda and Makia.
In 3870 King Theodorus of Francisco was murdered by his cousin, Theodosius, who proclaimed himself King of Francisco. The son of King Theodorus and rightful heir to the throne, Prince Agathangelos flees Francisco and takes up exile in Correana with his uncle.
Relations between Francisco and Correana broke down and in 3864 BP, Prince Agathangelos led an army of 20,000 Correanian's on Francisco. Agathangelos was victorious at the Battle of Auldwin Hill, but was defeated by King Theodosius at the Battle of Francisco.
Six years later, Prince Agathangelos led a second campaign to try and reclaim his crown. This time he had a larger army, 35,000 strong. Prince Agathangelos met King Theodosius at the Battle of Red Rivers where he destroyed the Franciscan army. After a great victory at Red Rivers, many Franciscans changed allegiances and Agathangelos' army stood at 50,000 strong when he marched on Francisco in 3864 BP. The siege on Francisco lasted two months, before the remainder of Theodosius' army switched sides and granted access to the city for Prince Agathangelos. King Theodosius managed to flee Francisco and took up exile on the Isles of Marnga. Prince Agathangelos was crowned King of Francisco upon entering the city.
Kingdom of FranciscoEdit
End of the Samuelonia DynastyEdit
King Kallistrate short lived reign lasted only three years, between 3810 and 3807 BP. Kallistrate big mistake was the execution of a popular commander. Men loyal to the commander stormed the Royal Palace and bludgeoned the King to death. Egonus, a commander in the Kings army proclaimed himself the new leader of Francisco having killed Kallistrate's young son, ending the bloodline of House Samuelonia. Kallistrates wife, Queen Nuzia fled to Correana, where she proclaimed her brother, Anaxgoras Issia as the rightful King of Francisco.
Anaxgoras led an army of around 5000 on Francisco and after three battles, in which Egonus lost, King Anaxgoras took the throne, beggining the reign of House Issia.
Founding of the Red OrderEdit
King Philotheos II of Francisco founded the Red Order in 3640 BP, a military order, tasked with defending the borders of Samuelonia against the Kylos.
End of the Issia DynastyEdit
Pamphilos took the throne when he was 55 years old. His only child died in birth and his adopted son, Issium, was rejected as a possible heir by the Council of Elders, for his lack of 'pure' blood. Upon Pamphilos' death in 3600BP, his cousin, Lycurgus of House Castilla took the throne.
War of Central SamueloniaEdit
In 3517 BP King Kleos II of Francisco looked to strengthen his northern border. This led to Francisco invading central Samuelonia. The Kingdom of Madarum, Kingdom of Dubruk and the Kingdom of Avolki were powerless to resist the mighty Franciscan army and the three regions fall to Francisco after a 12 year campaign. Kleos died childless and the throne went to Leonidas of House Aicrem, the nephew of Kleos.
The Astercun WarEdit
King Kyriakos waged a new war against the southern tribes after he invaded Astercun. The Astercun tribes, including their Vassel states of Sedrun, Kellosi and Calusa backed the Astercun's and in 3472BP under the Kellosi war lord Baktikas, met King Kyriakos in battle. The Franciscan's were victorious but the Astercun tribes were strong and the war raged on for another 14 years. Towards the end of Kyriakos' reign, the war began to go in favour of the Astercun tribes and in 3463BP King Kyriakos became the first king to die in battle when he was hacked down at the battle of Salt Hill.
Eudoxia became king after his father was killed in battle against the Astercun tribes and continued the war and managed to turn the tide of the war and re-gained the upper hand. By 3458BP King Eudoxia was victorious and claimed the Astercun region for Francisco.
Kingdom of CorreanaEdit
Kingdom of JandemineEdit
Kingdom of VallcadiniEdit
Kingdom of KylandEdit
The 3rd Alpinian War of SamueloniaEdit
In 3439 BP King Apollinarius of Francisco invaded Kyland. The invasion began in the north of the country and the king managed to take control of the far northern territory. The war became very costly and the losses were enormous to both sides. The war ended in 3434BP when King Apollinarius had to return to Francisco to deal with a large up rising by the central tribes, which called for Apollinarius' attention to be re-directed. Apollinarius had a number of forts built in northern Kyland before departing, leaving behind two legions, who were tasked to support the Red Order.
The Northern tribes had began an uprise, supported by the Jandemine tribes. The war lasted 3 years and during that time Apollinarius died (of natural causes) without an heir and his nephew, Kleithos of House Nadazia became king.
King Kleithos began has reign in war, but the war was nearly won and by the end 3431BP the up rising had been suppressed. In 3428BP Kleithos ordered a number of forts to be built along the Samuelonian side of the Black Mountains to defend the region from the Kylos. The Red Order were given control of the Black Mountain defences and a large number of minor nobility were given land holdings. These nobles were expected to build castles to protect there lands, beginning the period of the Athar castles.
Rise of the Maritime PowersEdit
By 3800 BP the small island states in the Samuelonian Dark Sea region started to gain power, through a monopoly of trade. The first of these was to become the Kingdom of Vispania. The Vispanese were followed by the powerful Kingdom of Gyr, the Kingdom of Monetia and the Kyriatan Federation.
Kingdom of VispaniaEdit
Vispania Island was inhabited by Naithid tribes around 4000BP. The first settlers were to become what was to be the Kingdom of Vispania. The Vispanese became a talented maritime trade community and grew rich from trading along the Samuelonian coast. The city of Celticago was founded around 3500BP and the cities port became an important trade centre. By 3400BP the east coast city of Fetroit replaced the city of Celticago as the main city, thanks to its closer location to mainland Samuelonia.
Between 3500 and 3400 BP, the Vispanese enetered a high period. In 3497 BP the Vispanese conquered the Barnibus Islands after the Salvonian War. In 3465 BP the Vispanese purchased the Western Samuelonia Islands and the Lysander Islands from the Kingdom of Amadonii. Then in 3449 BP the Vispanese purchased the south-west coastal region from the Kingdom of Francisco.
The Kingdom of Vispania was to last until 2900BP, when the Vispanese were conquered by the Kyriatans after the Vispania War (2912-2894BP).
Kingdom of GyrEdit
Around 3600BP the Isle of Margna (Isles of Maria) was invaded by Axmyth of the Gyr tribe, who conquered the island. The Gyr tribe at the time were explorers, warriors, merchants, and pirates who raided wide areas around the Black Sea.
Around 2100BP the Gyrish main source of income came from their lucrative slave trade. Gyrish pirates would raid coastal villages around the Black Sea and the inhabitants bought back to Marnga, where they would be sold on. Wealthy merchants would travel thousands of miles to visit the well stocked Gyrish slave markets.
The Kingdom lasted until 1901BP, when King Bradus I, sent an army to conquer the island, in a bid to stop Gyr pirates from raiding the Dark Sea coastal cities and villages.
Kyriatan FederationEdit
The Kryiatan Federation was an enterprising maritime trading culture and at its height, had colonies throughout the Samuelonian Dark Sea region. The Kyriatans were from the Kyriakos Islands and soon came to compete with the Vispanese as the number one maritime traders in the Samuelonian Dark Seas.
By 3000 BP the Kyriatans overtook the Vispanese after a series of conflicts, where they took the Barnibus Islands, the Western Samuelonia Islands, the Apollinarius Isles, the Lysander Isles and coastal areas of the Saint Sembus, Saint Tiberius and Saint Augustus provinces from the Vispanese.
The Kyriatans finally conquered their enemies in 2894 BP when they were victorious in the Vispania War, taking Vispania Island and the Montague Islands.
Kingdom of MonetiaEdit
The Monetians became shrewd maritime traders and there fleet of trade vessels grew to compete with the Kyriatans and Vispanese. The Monetian Kingdom lasted until 2979BP, when they were conquered by the Kyriatan Federation. After the collapse of the Monetian Kingdom, the Montague Islands became a colony of the Kyriatan Federation.
The 4th Alpinian War of SamueloniaEdit
In 3177 BP the Kylos invaded Samuelonia. It was during the 4th Alpinian War that Palinos Eydenius rose to fame and became a national icon as he led the Franciscan army from the brink of defeat to saving the lands.
The Kylos army had invaded the Saint Tiberius region and then headed north into High Samuelonia. City after city fell and it was only until King Gregorius of Francisco summonsed Eydenius, that the tide began to turn.
Eydenius led the Franciscan legions, supported by a large Correanian army, into battle against the Kylos in the Battle of Anticum. Eydenius' army smashed the Kylos and after a number of notable victories the King made Eydenius the Supreme Commander of his armies.
By 3171BP the Kylos were pushed back over the Black Mountains. Eydenius continued into Kyland and conquered a substantial area of Kyland.
Jandeminian Civil WarEdit
The Jandeminian Civil War (2744-2736BP), was a conflict fought between the Noble House's of Jandemine. On one side was the Rosakian's, who wanted to abolish the Great Council and on the other side was the Zargunian's, who opposed any change to the Jandemine government.
The 5th Alpinian WarEdit
The end of the City State era is believed to have started with beggining of the 5th Alpinian War. In 2515 BP the Kylos Federation launched a new invasion into Samuelonia. After a slow war in which neither side made much progress King Theo was assassinated by a Franciscan Senator, Julius Dovinataris who had been bribed by the Kylos in 25 10BP.
With the death of the popular King Theo, Amidias took to the throne of Francisco. The nation was at crisis point with Kylos forces, once again over running the nation. In 2509 King Amidias of Francisco fled the capital after Kylos forces besieged the city.
Amidias lived out his 2 years as King in fear of the Kylos. By 2508BP, with the country falling apart, the head of the Kings Guard killed Amidias and his brother Samuelus II was made King.
The arrival of King Samuelus II of Francisco is documented as the end of the City state era.

DENVER -- Renting to own is a great choice when you can't commit to buying expensive appliances, but if something goes wrong once you plug them in you could be in hot water.
Gareth Erwin and Heidi Knight told the FOX31 Problem Solvers they decided to rent a washer and dryer because it was convenient.
The home video they shared with FOX31 shows while using the washing machine, water started shooting from the hose, threatening the hot water heater and expensive equipment.
They also said the dryer shorted out their fuse box.
Consumer protection experts say most rent-to-own businesses have customers sign off on the installation of appliances.
If something goes wrong, the business will send in a team to investigate how the problem occurred, then determine if anything must be replaced.
That's why the Better Business Bureau recommends doing three things before renting to own.
- Read your contract, especially the part about who is liable in the case of any damage
- Ask who determines the damage estimate
- Demand a clear time frame for an investigation, so things don`t get dragged on and on while you deal with the fallout
The Better Business Bureau also has the following advice for anyone considering renting furniture or appliances:
- Start with Trust®. Visit bbb.org and research thoroughly before choosing a rent-to-own company. Specifically, review the volume of complaints and how they were resolved.
- Read all terms and conditions of the contract carefully before signing. Determine what fees may be associated with the transaction, who is responsible for repairs or maintenance and what happens after a late or missed payment.
- Confirm the payment plan in writing. Make sure you know, in writing and orally, the total dollar amount and number of rental payments you have to make before you take ownership of the product.
- Develop a budget and stick to it. Only rent the items that you absolutely need so you do not find yourself trapped in multiple payment contracts at a time.

IP Migration Roadmap: Understanding the Challenges & Benefits
Starting on June 06, 2017 11:00 am
Categories: Communications
As substation communication networks migrate away from the traditional Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology to packet-based technology, many engineers and technicians do not have a good understanding of what is involved when it comes to substation communications IP Migration. Understanding the IP Migration Roadmap is essential to a successful transition and making sure that all your substation services continue to operate safely, reliably and securely, both during, and after migration. This course provides an overview of the IP Migration Roadmap for Substation Communications. It addresses the need to understand the challenges, the advantages and the benefits. It also addresses the two most-important concerns when it comes to IP Migration: Reliability and Security. The course also presents two successful case studies of substation communications IP Migration.
This module will focus on helping to understand the overall landscape of the IP Migration Roadmap. The legacy applications that need to migrate over to the new communications infrastructure. The industry drivers behind the migration. The challenges that need to be addressed, and the benefits of migrating to a packet-based communications infrastructure.
Who should attend: Individuals with a role in IT and/or OT, particularly those involved directly with system protection and substation communications.
How you will benefit: You will learn and get an overall understanding of substation communications IP Migration. The lessons learned will benefit in putting together a successful IP Migration and help build confidence since several power utilities have already migrated successfully.

We're back and a good thing too, because it's time for our neighbors north of the border to have their moment in the sun- yes, it's Canada Day, so that means Canada Flags! We're staying east this year and first up, we've got the flag of New Brunswick:
the Wiki-Page of the flag reveals is how much the design was driven by the other big vexillological change at the time in Canada- namely the replacement of the Canadian Red Ensign with the maple leaf we all know and love. People liked the Red Ensign and there was a lot of nostalgia for it in Canada which lead to modified versions of it being adapted as provincial flags (Ontario, Manitoba) and the parliamentary opposition at the time had planned to table a motion to adopted the Red Ensign as well, but then Premier Louis Robichaud had a different idea. New Brunswick, you see, had been settled by both the French and the British over the years and despite the expulsion of the Acadians, many had returned and there was a sizable Acadian minority in the province. Wanting to avoid something 'too British' as it were, they went with the armorial banner and it's actually pretty cool.
The gold lion in the upper third is taken from the arms of England or the Duchy of Brunswick-Lunberg ('Old' Brunswick) The ship in the bottom third could evoke the historical industry of ship building or the ships utilized by Loyalists to flee to New Brunswick after things didn't go their way in the Revolutionary War. (NAVA Survey Says: #18 out of #72... I feel like that could be higher.)
flag of Newfoundland and Labrador! Adopted on June 6, 1980 there's a lot of broad symbolism behind this flag. The blue color represents the sea, the white stands for (surprise, surprise) the snow and ice of winter, the red represents the effort and struggle of the Newfoundlanders and Labradorians (woof, those demonyms) and the gold stands for the confidence they have in themselves and for the future. The blue triangles are meant as a tribute to the Union Jack and stand for the British heritage of the province. The red triangles are meant to represent the two areas of the province- the mainland and the island. The gold arrow is pointing toward a 'brighter future.'
Here's the cool thing about the flag of Newfoundland and Labrador: you can hang it as a vertical banner and when you do that- the gold arrow becomes a sword, honoring the sacrifices of Newfoundlanders in military service- it joins with the red triangles to form a trident, which represents the province's dependence on it's fisheries and the resources of the sea.
the Innu, Inuit and the white settler. The branches coming from the single stalk represents the unity of the peoples.
So, that's Canada Day! Remember, until next time, keep your flags flying- FREAK or otherwise!

Mild with early rain this morning, and lots of birds out.
At the allotments, 20+ Mistle Thrushes flew over into the nature reserve, where they were soon spooked by a Sparrowhawk.
On the big ploughed field the Littledene side of the Bostal Road, lots of Rooks, Jackdaws, Herring and Black-headed Gulls, with a hard-to-count group of Skylarks (including one in full song).
The paddock that sits on the corner between Firle Bostal and Chalky Road has recently been
fertilised, ploughed, and is a magnet for passerines. In one corner there were Chiffchaffs, Wrens, Chaffinches, Blue and Great Tits jumping out of the hedge to feed on the deck, with a few dozens Meadow Pipits and at least seven Pied Wagtails out in the open. The local male Kestrel was hunting low along the back hedge.
Overhead four Common Crossbills went south, my third record in Firle (and all since July this year). A Reed Bunting (locally scarce) went over too, as well frequent Siskins.
Yesterday, there was at least one Firecrest in trees opposite the Post Office, along with a very agitated Goldcrest.
