Loft Conversions - Finchley N3.
Loft conversions vary from property to property and in 9 out of 10 cases a loft conversion is possible. Planning permission for loft conversion is often required but this depends on the property and is not always the case. On our first free consultation visit we will be able to advise you on all the possibilities that your property has and discuss all of your requirements and the opportunities available to you.
You will also receive a free no obligation quotation for complete loft conversion to be carried out from plans to completion with no hidden extras.
We will handle the whole process from drawing up architectural plans and design, to dealing with applications for planning permission (if necessary) and building regulations. Once we have building control approval then building works on your new loft conversion can be started at a time that suits you.
From this point onwards we will deal with all aspects of loft conversion, right up until your loft conversion is ready for decoration. Our project manager will be available to answer your every call and request throughout the whole process so that you will always be in the know about what work is taking place, and any new ideas you may have can be discussed.

During this six day tour you will get to see why Sir Winston Churchill called Uganda "The Pearl of Africa". The beautiful country filled with smiling faces, is not only home to some of the rarest primates in the world. It is actually becoming a top safari destination, attracting visitors who also come to enjoy the African wildlife including Leopard and Lions along with a wide variety of plains game. Let's not forget about the more than 1,000 birds species recorded in the country.

You will work closely with the rangers, recording behavior of individual chimps and may even have very close interactions. When the sun begins to set and the chimps have nestled into their newly built nests, we will make our way back to our lodge. The experience is unlike any other chimp experience in East Africa. You will have a full day in close contact with the chimps, providing you with a unique experience, while assisting the rangers in habituating new families and documenting the behavior of the individual members (Included: Breakfast, Boxed Lunch, and Dinner).

With all the action, Lions and Leopard are often unnoticed, which provides an exceptional opportunity for the predators to get within very close range of their prey. After a picnic lunch we then make our way to the Mweya Peninsula where we find the launch site for a spectacular boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel.

There is a tradition that during the slowest 2 weeks of the year all the restaurants do something called Restaurant Week (http://www.nycgo.com/restaurantweek). Basically a set price ($26 for lunch or $40 for dinner) to a the whole meal (appitizer, 2 course meal, desert). It is a good chance to go to the really fancy places that would normally cost $100 or more. Of course there are a lot of places that usually have meals in those price ranges anyway so you have to do research to find the good ones. And, the good ones are usually book pretty early so this has been a tradition that people prepare quite in advance for. We ended up going to Jean Jaques and had French fusion. Quite a tasty meal.
To coincide with that our local area had their own restaurant week the following week. There was a huge castle that we had driven by many times on the freeway and knew that it had been turned into a hotel and restaurant. We couldn't resist eating there since I had looked into it and knew I didn't want to spend what they were charging. As it turns out, I am quite glad that we didn't pay to much since their food was not all that great. They served traditional english food that was heavy and bland. It would have been fine at a Renaissance faire but not somewhere where the dress-code required a tie.

Arvid Whiting, age 88, of Milbank peacefully passed away on Friday, March 16, 2018. Funeral services celebrating Arvid's life will be held on Thursday, March 22, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Milbank. Rev. Tim Rynearson will officiate and burial will be in the Milbank Cemetery. Visitation will be held on Wednesday from 5 – 7 p.m. at Mundwiler Funeral Home and continue at the church on Thursday, one hour prior to the service.
Casket bearers will be: Kyle Brende, Chris Hanson, Dan Works, Jason Hurley, Chad Hurley, Robin Hurley, and Toby Reiffenberger. Honorary bearers will be Arvid's grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Arvid Argene Whiting was born on January 14, 1930, in Milbank, SD. He was the son of Mason and Sara (Sternke) Whiting. He was confirmed in 1945. Arvid began farming at the age of 14 after his father's passing. At the age of 21 he married Mary Jane Folk on February 9, 1951, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Bellingham, MN. After their marriage, Arvid and Mary moved to Inwood, IA where they worked for a farmer until 1953. They later rented a farm by Nassau, MN and farmed independently. In 1956, they moved to a farm in rural Milbank, which became their long-time home and where they raised their family. Arvid retired in 1997. He was a faithful member of Emanuel Lutheran Church in Milbank.
Arvid was a fun-loving and passionate man who enjoyed many hobbies including hunting, fishing, antique tractors, attending swap meets and threshing shows. He cherished time spent with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time at G&R Auto Shop with friends. Arvid's passion for antique tractors lead to the opening of Minn-kota Repair in 1986. He refurbished antique tractor steering wheels and miscellaneous parts throughout the United States and abroad. That same year he and his business partner and friend founded the Twin Brooks Threshing Show, which continues to this day.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 67 years, Mary of Milbank, SD; his daughters: Cheryl Hurley of Milbank, SD; and Shirley (David) Reiffenberger of Odessa, MN; his sons: Curtis Whiting of Minneapolis, MN; Calvin (Brenda) Whiting of Sioux Falls, SD; Clayton (Gail) Whiting of Milbank, SD; 9 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Mary Ellen Whiting; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family. All will miss this loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend. He was preceded in death by his parents; and infant son; and brother, Orvin.

Whoooaaaa nelleh! Lotta good stuff goin on this week!
Wish Upon: Hot damn, what a terrible movie. I went to a different theater (The Elmwood place rather than my usual AMC) and there were actually people there, which was a change from the last time I was at a theater and I was the only one there. But everyone around me laughed constantly throughout the movie, and I was laughing along with them. It's one of those "teen horror movies," and the acting and dialogue seems like it was written by someone who ventured into an American high school saying "How do you do, fellow kids?" At the end of it, someone in the audience just shouted out, "this movie sucked!"and everyone else, including me, started laughing and agreeing with him. I'd say I wasted 14 bucks, but I needed to get out of the house, so at least I got that, and a few laughs to boot. Thus, I ain't too sad 😀
Knights and Magic ep 3: This was a pretty fun episode, though I've heard the novels had a lot more fun stuff (like weightlifting mechs!) that got cut. Ah, well…the last fight was pretty cool and it's fun seeing the protag get so excited over giant robots. 😀
I've also been checking out "The Civil War," everyone's favorite Ken Burns documentary. I dunno…I can sorta see why Professor David Blight once said it went too easy on the South. The last episode was a brief bit on Reconstruction, and they at least mentioned that Nathan Forrest helped found the Klan, but nothing on how the South screwed over the newly freed blacks. At least Burns made slavery to be the primary cause of the war, but Lord, there is sooo much tongue-bathing of General Lee. From what I've heard, recent scholarship has found he wasn't quite as good as he was cracked up to be. Still, it's a well made documentary overall and a decent introduction to the American Civil War. The behind the scenes features were nice too, there sure was a lot of technology involved in upgrading a documentary from the 80s into sweet 4k on Bluray players 😮 My favorite part was listening to the old black lady (she was actually the daughter of a black Union soldier and was 105 years old at the time the documentary was first made) reciting poetry from the Civil War era 😀
On a less positive note, the "Civil War in the Classroom" feature on the Special Features disc seems…well…pretty half-assed, just a brief description of how one teacher taught the documentary. And the music combined with the goofy text at the end made me think the whole thing was one of those "how do you do, fellow kids?" type things XD
Got a new Italian, like I said last week! His screename is Pampurio, and he's blowin' through the Italian translations, already translated up to ep. 27! I just need to run em by my Japanese translators like I always have and we should be back in business. My Japanese translators are busy right now, but if Pampurio can get a lot of episodes translated, and it seems like he'll be able to do so easy, the rest of the work should be smooooth sailin 😀
Juuust Total War: Warhammer. Not much to report there 😛
Also went through the Blasphemous demo. A couple of bugs I noticed, including one annoying one that made progress to the second area very difficult (a platform that doesn't seem to register as one you can grip consistently) but aside from that it was pretty cool, the pixel art was great, controls were smooth, and gameplay fun, though there were only 3 enemies (a flagellant guy, bell ghost, and candlestick guy). Of course, there'll be plenty more in the actual game, so no big deal. Definitely seems cool! 😀
Not too much this week, maybe next.
No writan either, just relaxan 😀
Went back to Wolcott Guns and plinked off 20 shots with an AR-15 for a total cost of about 46 bucks (15 bucks for range time, 18 bucks to rent the rifle, 10 bucks for 20 rounds, and a buck 50 for a target, and then tax). Grr…I didn't do too well. I had a tough time hitting the I can curl a 20 pound dumbbell 60 times, but the AR felt heavy and made my left arm ache while I was holding it (I'm right handed) so I think that hurt my accuracy. Some friends told me I was probably holding the weapon wrong, and that might have been it. The AR they gave me had an adjustable stock , but I didn't touch it so it might have been an ill suited length for me. Next time I go there I'll fiddle around with the stock and maybe try holding the gun a different way, see how that works. Wish me luck!

Children spotted her out the gate coming toward kindergarten with all of her hoops in hand. Alice was running around telling everyone she had arrived, so we welcomed Hoop Lady and helped her inside with all of her hoops.
Together we joined in on a warm up, to warm up our muscles and prepare ourselves for some exercise with a hoop each! Initially we experimented with the different ways we could use a hoop, stepping in the middle, on different parts of our body and around out body. Ko te korikori tinana he pai mō te hauora - Exercise helps us stay healthy. A great way for us to use our gross motor skills and help to strengthen these while having fun.
We joined in on a game pretending to be caterpillars crawling through a large tunnel, around and around. Before growing some wings and turning into a butterfly, where we used a hoop to resemble wings on the back of our arms!
After Hoop Lady had left children enjoyed using our kindergarten hoops outside to experiment further and practise some of what they had learnt using hoops. A group of children enjoyed rolling the hoops in front of them across a beam and then down the other side again.

I donno why but I am a book freak person
The books which have helped me a lot in my life.......All of them are very close to my heart
- All the books by Dale Carnegi
- All the books by Biswaroop Roy
- Outliar by Malcolm Gladwell
- 7 Habits of Highly effective people by Stephen R.Covey
- First things first by Stephen R.Covey
- Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray
- Who moved my Cheese by Spenser Johnson
- One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard
- Positive Power of thanksgiving by J.P. Vaswani
- Stay Hungry Stay Foolish by Rashmi Bansal
- Wikinomics by Topscott Don, Williams Anthony
- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelo
- Bhagwad Geeta (I have not read it completely)
- The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
- The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
I am a book freak person. .I love reading a large number of books that cover a wide areas from Business to management, from spiritual to Self Empowerment. And it's quite interesting that I am most of the time working with all these books which are no way related to my profession. So in this way my Civil Engineering books have become a part time affair for me. I personally love reading books which appear frequently in #1 New York Times Best selling list. I don't know why but after reading these books I find a long lasting impression in to my mind which I don't find after reading any Indian Bestselling books. The worst thing about these books is that some of them are really costly and their Indian editions are not available. This really hurts me the most. Any way all these books have really flushed my pocket but I am happy that I made a good investment.

A man who loves her, and loves her like no other man ever could. No I am not talking mundane love here, the one that comes and goes, shows a symptom or two of attraction and then leaves the victim distraught, but only for a while. Just a while, and before time could even blink we move on. It's true, even those of us who have witnessed the most maddening bouts of compelling passion would agree, life is above it all. But not for Heathcliff.
He destroyed himself, and everyone around him, in the process of wanting Catherine. Ironically, he was responsible for Catherine's end too. What kind of love was that which destroyed the object of affection itself? Wasn't the motive lost in madness. In specimens like Heathcliff, love tends to insanity.
And every woman has her Heathcliff. A man that needs to be done away with. Seriously. Every moment you let him be, he would take a step further towards self destruction. Every moment you let him be, he would become the Heathcliff I fear he would become one day. So dear woman, make yourself as worthy of his hatred as you can, kick him in his heart. And be not guilty of it, you're only saving him.
Be guilty only if he becomes a Heathcliff. But die of shame if he becomes an artist in your love.

This is not a referendum on Crimean sovereignty
The referendum taking place in Crimea today does not concern the sovereignty of the peninsula. This has nothing to do with its legitimacy or lack thereof (more of which will be mentioned below). It has to do with the two options provided on Crimean ballot papers (my translation provided below; the text taken from http://referendum2014.ru/upload/iblock/13c/13cda4a81397f6fcc489566e4aa44cfc.pdf):
- "Are you in favour of the reunion of Crimea with Russia with the rights of a subject of the Russian Federation?"
- "Are you in favour of the reinstatement of the Crimean Constitution of 1992 and for the status of Crimea as part of Ukraine?"
Second, as has been pointed out by several observers, there is a clear discrepancy between the Ukrainian constitution of 1996 and the 1992 Crimean constitution, eventually confirmed in 1998. The Ukrainian constitution states - in section 1, article 2 - that "The territory of Ukraine within its present borders is indivisible and inviolable." (my translation, from http://zakon4.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/254%D0%BA/96-%D0%B2%D1%80). The Crimean constitution, on the other hand, is a mess. While this document does state that Crimea belongs within the framework of the Ukrainian constitution (article 1, paragraph 1), Crimea reserves the exclusive right to change its constitution based on a popular referendum on the peninsula (article 48, paragraph 2). (http://referendum2014.ru/legal-base/) Crimean parliamentarians have already indicated that they would use, if necessary, such powers to transfer the peninsula to Russia no matter the voting results today. (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/15/world/europe/crimea-vote-does-not-offer-choice-of-status-quo.html?_r=0)
Most Crimeans do not favour incorporation into Russia
The problem is that we now very little right now about public opinion on Crimea.
Recently, monitors from the OSCE have been prevented from entering Crimea. Monitors' reports indicate that their lives might have been in danger from armed pro-Russian militias, who fired warning shots. (https://twitter.com/OSCE/status/442300671740870656) UN special envoy to Crimea, Robert Serry, was forced to leave the region by similar militias. (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/05/un-envoy-crimea-quits-anger-pro-moscow-yatsenyuk) Ukrainian journalists entering Crimea have been kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint (http://en.rsf.org/ukraine-two-ukrainian-journalists-missing-10-03-2014,45977.html) (http://cpj.org/2014/03/more-journalists-obstructed-on-the-job-in-crimea.php); a Bulgarian journalist had a gun pointed to his head by local "self-defence forces" as shown on CCTV footage (http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/07/world/europe/crimea-journalists-threatened/). And, last night, the hotel housing most Western journalists in Crimean capital Simferopol was stormed by dozens of armed, masked men, allegedly searching for an "armed criminal." (http://time.com/#26320/gunmen-storm-crimea-hotel-full-of-reporters-on-eve-of-referendum/) At the same time, local opponents of Crimean secession from Ukraine are being threatened on the peninsula. A priest from the Greek Catholic Church, known for its pro-Ukraine stance, was kidnapped by armed men in Sevastopol (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iYALA4Ueu28Kxoc_Xi6Dn1SqKlwg?docId=78c5c539-ddf0-4f8c-8d38-c4186efe3d2e) as has been the case for numerous other local activists. (http://www.smh.com.au/world/silent-war-exposes-growing-divisions-in-crimea-20140315-34tld.html)
On this background, the Crimean Tatars - one-eighth of the total population - are boycotting the referendum (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/crimeas-tatars-brace-for-russian-takeover/2014/03/12/8b8ce764-a9df-11e3-8a7b-c1c684e2671f_story.html) while Ukrainians on Crimea - one-fourth of the population - have constitently supported the position of Ukraine. As for Russians on Crimea their opinion is difficult to gauge. It is telling, though, that - ever since Crimea voted to be part of Ukraine in 1991 with 54% in favour on a 60% turnout - local calls for independence from Ukraine have been few and far between. In the 2010 elections for the Crimean parliament 80% of seats went to the Party of Regions, the party of now-deposed President Viktor Yanukovych. (http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/52929.html) The Party of Regions did not and does not have a policy of handing Crimea over to Russia. While Yanukovych has recently accused the acting government in Kiev of losing Crimea, neither he nor his party - which remains in the Ukrainian parliament - support today's referendum, although they do share some local Russians' concerns. (http://partyofregions.ua/en/news/5312f7fff620d2320c000025)
Conversely, in the 2010 elections the party Russian Unity, the leader of which Sergey Aksyonov has now taken control of the Crimean parliament and referendum, received a staggering 4% of votes! And precisely 3 seats. Not a big public mandate for Mr Aksyonov. And, by extension, not a big public mandate from Crimeans for independence from Ukraine and accession to Russia. (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/12/us-ukraine-crisis-russia-aksyonov-insigh-idUSBREA2B13M20140312)
Russian actions in this crisis are not based in international law
The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, has - time and time again - stated that Russian actions towards Ukraine and Crimea, and the Crimean referendum, exist in accordance with international law. (see e.g. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/03/16/uk-ukraine-crisis-lavrov-kerry-idUKBREA2F05U20140316)
Well, no - that is simply not the case.
International law is a somewhat nebulous concept, but it has its modern foundation in the Charter of the United Nations from 1945. In the Charter, it states in article 2, paragraph 4: "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state..." (https://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter1.shtml). Supporters of the Russian position may claim, with some justification, that the US and its allies breached the Charter during the invasions of Iraq and Libya, which were both sovereign states ruled by regimes recognised by the UN. But that is not the point. Lavrov is not stating that it is OK to breach international law, because the Americans did it - he says Russia is not breaching international law, full stop. And, in the case of the Charter, Lavrov's claim is untrue.
Lavrov can with more hope look to the "Responsibility to Protect" as outlined in 2005 by the UN World Summit Outcome Document. This document highlights that all states have a "responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity." (articles 138-40). Article 138 underlines the responsibility of states to protect their own populations, while article 139 notes that the UN member states "are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner, through the Security Council...on a case-by-case basis and in cooperation with relevant regional organisations as appropriate, should peaceful means be inadequate and national authorities are manifestly failing to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity." (http://www.un.org/womenwatch/ods/A-RES-60-1-E.pdf)
Nowhere in Ukraine - let alone in Crimea - have we witnessed genocide, war crimes or ethnic cleansing. Even so, should the Russian authorities believe such crimes to take place, the Kremlin is legally obliged to take up the matter in dialogue with Ukraine and with the UN Security Council. Russia has not done so, instead vetoing the draft Council resolution denouncing the Crimean referendum as illegitimate. China abstained from this vote; all thirteen other Council members, including democratic stalwart Chad, voted in favour. What Russia seeks to offer the UN instead of this draft resolution appears to be troops on the ground.
Just three points to consider as the Crimean referendum moves towards its foregone conclusion.

text: Home Volunteer for us Volunteers are important to us Many adults with learning difficulties are eager to work and engage with their local community, but find there are few opportunities to do so. Brunswick was founded in 1992 to address this need. We took over a run down plant nursery and have transformed it over the years through hard work - much of it done by volunteers. Volunteers, supporting staff and workers, have been absolutely crucial to transforming Brunswick into a successful enterprise offering sheltered work opportunities. Volunteers help people with learning difficulties in all the different areas of work detailed in our 'What We Do' section. "We need volunteers to work with us because they can have a laugh with us or socialize. If we need a hand with computers they can help us." - Tim What do volunteers do? Support and work alongside small teams of adults with learning difficulties Help get jobs done around the site which may be too demanding for most workers Contribute to the running of the Brunswick Social Club by helping organise activities and events and supporting Help individuals to attend these events Help run stalls at local shows and help out at Brunswick's fund raising events Help run the Brunswick shop and café at weekends Become a member of Brunswick's Board of Trustees. Who can volunteer? Our volunteers come from all walks of life, are aged from 14 years old to 88, and bring a variety of skills and experience. We offer opportunities for volunteer placements, for example, as placement for a school or college course, or for awards such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award. We have the following specific requirements: Our volunteers need to be a minimum of 14 years old, and some volunteering opportunities will be restricted to over 16s or over 18s. Volunteers will be required to undertake a disclosure and barring (DBS) check Why volunteer?

Set your DVRs for Sunday, March 11.
Oprah Winfrey will be back as a special contributor on "60 Minutes," and this time she'll tackle the lasting impacts of childhood trauma.
CBS says that Dr. Bruce Perry, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, is a leading expert in the field who has regularly consulted with authorities on school shootings.
"60 Minutes" Preview
In a preview clip, Dr. Perry says "children are much more sensitive to developmental trauma than adults."
Oprah reiterates the point in the well-known "60 Minutes" fashion:
"If you're a child who's raised in an environment of chaos, of uncertainty, of violence, of neglect, you are being wired (what)?"
"Differently," Dr. Perry says.
He then explains these early-life factors put those kids at higher "risk for mental health problems" and "doing poorly in school."
After the Florida school shooting
This interview comes almost a month after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz gunned down Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and fatally shot 17 people.
In the weeks since, the event has spurred numerous conversations on gun control but also mental health in our society.

White working class males research published
At the end of 2016, Southern Universities Network commissioned two research projects which sought to examine the disadvantage experienced by white working class males in relation to their progression into higher education. The pre-entry study, undertaken by ARC Network and co-ordinated by Southampton Solent University, explored the perceptions, barriers and enablers to HE progression from the perspective of white working class learners in schools and colleges across the city of Southampton. Post-entry research, undertaken by the University of Portsmouth, explored the participation of white working class men within an institutional context, with a particular focus on examining higher education entry and aspirations of current HE learners. The study offers a unique understanding of white working class males across the both pre and post entry phase and it is hoped that the research will support SUN members in planning and developing both institutional and collaborative widening participation programmes, including the National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP).

Visually inspect the exterior of your caravan thoroughly especially the roof for signs of corrosion or any other damage. Lubricate all fixings and hinges especially at doors; windows and all the shades and awnings. Check for easy movement and pay special attention to the rubber sealing on windows for signs on fraying. Always reseal all the corners every five to seven years for maximum protection against the elements and insects. Always wash the exteriors thoroughly and apply polish after each journey.
Clean all exterior lamps regularly to prevent the accumulation of dust that can make them hazy. Check all wirings thoroughly and replace frayed connections immediately. Go through the rubber linings around the lamps to see if they are tight enough to prevent the entry of moisture.
While a cooking gas cylinder is an absolute must it can also lead to serious fire hazards if not maintained properly. Check for gas leakage at regular intervals by turning the knob on and spraying with a liquid detergent for signs of bubble. Never use a lighted matchstick to check for gas leakage as this might blow up your entire caravan. Check the hose at regular intervals for wear and tear.
If you have a pop-top model, the movable roof will require additional care and maintenance. Regularly clean the fabric part of the roof with suitable detergent or cold water to prevent the development of mould. Always let the fabric dry complete before putting it back in place. Clean and lubricate all moving parts and check periodically for signs of corrosion.

Opera 3 & Opera II updates
Pegasus have also announced new versions of Opera 3 and Opera II, these contain the following updates:
- Auto enrolment 'Staging Date'/'Duties Start Date' New employers are no longer given a staging date by the Pensions Regulator; they instead have what is referred to as a "Duties Start Date" which is the date that their first member of staff starts to work for them. The Staging Date field in Opera 3 and Opera II Payroll is now a dual purpose field which can be used for either a Staging Date or a Duties Start Date.
- Serious Ill Health Payments and Scottish Tax Changes to FPS Opera 3 and Opera II now accommodates seriously ill health lump sum benefits to be reported in the full payment submission (FPS). Such payments are made where ill health and life expentancy is estimated to be less than one year. Opera 3 and Opera II also cater for FPS submissions for Scottish taxpaters who have a tax code operating on a non-cumulative basis.
- D8 Tax Codes Opera 3 and Opera II now cater for new codes ranging from 'D2' up to and including 'D8', which HMRC introduced in order to cater for further powers given to the Scottish Parliament, which allow them to set their own income tax rates and thresholds for Scottish taxpayers. Currently D0 means 'All pay is taxed at 40%' and D1 means 'All pay is taxed at 45%'. Codes D2 to D8 have been added in order to offer flexibility in accommodating future additions of new tax bands.
- Removal of redundant fields from WNAME in order to optimise future development.
If this affects you and you want to update your Opera 3 or Opera II to the latest versions please contact your Account Manager or call 01442 236311 to organise this.

"The 2014 Upchurch Vineyard Cabernet has a youthful nose of violets, cracked pepper, blueberries, sandalwood, cigar box and a whiff of smoke. This vintage has a great attack that includes delicious broad flavors of deep black cherries, cassis, sage and earthy characters. I particularly like the juicy savory acidity and precise tannin structure that flows into an incredibly long finish.Approachable now, but it will continue to evolve for up to 2 decades." – 93-95+ Points by Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker / The Wine Advocate

That link doesn't work using Chrome on my desktop. I've tried several times and it gives a "Connection refused" error message every time. However I can access it using Chrome on my Nexus 7 tablet. Both are using the same router. I wonder why.

I have corrected as many smilies as possible upon migration. The good news is that phpBB 3.2 supports emoji's so the possibilities are now endless

Arabin Cerclage Pessary as a Treatment of an Acute Urinary Retention in a Pregnant Woman with Uterine Prolapse

A 35-year-old gravida 7, para 1, and abortus 5 female with hypogastric pain and inability to void urine after 14 + 3 weeks of amenorrhea was examined in the emergency department. One year before, a uterine prolapse had been diagnosed in another hospital. Examination showed a uterine prolapse grade 2 with palpable bladder. The patient was unable to void urine. After a manual reduction of the uterine prolapse, the patient underwent an emergency catheterization for bladder drainage. A Hodge pessary (size 70) was placed, which led to spontaneous micturitions. Due to the persistence of the symptoms the following day, Hodge pessary was replaced by an Arabin cerclage pessary. Although the pessary could be removed from the beginning of the second trimester, due to the uterine prolapse as a predisposing factor in the patient and the uncomplicated progression of pregnancy, it was decided to maintain it in our patient. Therefore, Arabin cerclage pessary allowed a successful pregnancy outcome and was not associated with threatened preterm delivery or vaginal infection.

Powerful winds can do a great deal of damage to your home if you're not prepared. As we teeter between the final days of winter and the emergence of spring, we're likely to see more wind storms in our forecasts. And since an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, taking the time to windproof your home will save you time, money, and headaches in the future.
Secure Your Outdoor Furnishings: Having to replace seat cushions is a minor inconvenience but having your lawn furniture flying off your porch and into the side of your car is far worse. If we're headed for windy weather, bring your lawn furniture inside. If you have a basketball goal that isn't cemented into the ground, ask for help in laying it flat so that the wind doesn't cause it to come crashing down.
Check Your Doors and Windows: If a windstorm is eminent, then consider covering your windows and storm doors to prevent the glass from breaking. Be mindful of French doors and sliding glass doors, as strong winds can hurl projectiles directly into them. Don't forget about your garage door; high winds can rip a garage door completely off the structure.
Keep an Eye on Your Trees: If you have trees on your property, ask yourself what might happen if they fell toward your home. Are you in the clear, or would a tree crash into your living room? If you have trees too close to your home, consider having them removed.
Replace Damaged Siding and Roofing: Strong winds can pull siding panels off of your home, leaving you with damaged siding edges. Make sure you fasten any loose panels and replace damaged ones when necessary. Check your roof for missing shingles. Missing shingles leave your roof exposed to the elements, which could create an emergency repair issue. Contact a professional roofing company to replace missing shingles.

By Malathi Nayak and Rishika Sadam
(Reuters) - The No. 2 U.S. wireless carrier AT&T Inc <T.N> reported adjusted profit in line with estimates on Thursday, as it signed up new wireless subscribers but saw a drop in pay-TV customers.
The Dallas-based company's shares, which have gained as much as 24 percent so far this year, were down 1.2 percent in extended trading after closing at $42.52.

Excluding items, the company earned 72 cents per share in the second quarter ended June 30 - in line with the average analyst estimate, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
AT&T said it added 1.4 million new wireless subscribers, including 257,000 postpaid customers, or those who pay monthly bills.
However, its total video subscribers were down 49,000 in the quarter. It added 342,000 DIRECTV subscribers, but lost 391,000 U-verse TV customers.
AT&T is looking to tap new revenue sources in an oversaturated U.S. wireless market. It acquired satellite-TV provider DIRECTV last July to create the country's largest pay-TV company.
AT&T is making a big mobile video push by later this year launching online video streaming services from DIRECTV. With these moves, the company will be up against rival streaming services such as Netflix Inc. <NFLX.O> and Dish Network Corp's <DISH.O> Sling TV.
Its upcoming DIRECTV Now streaming service will be a "game changer," Chief Financial Officer John Stephens said on an earnings call.
"We expect the millions of people who don't now subscribe to a video service and prefer a streaming option will be impressed," Stephens said.
The company is yet to divulge details on pricing and content offerings of its DIRECTV streaming service.
"Over the last six months they have lost video subscribers. They are still guiding to positive video subscriber growth for full year...but it would be a mistake to call DIRECTV a growth engine," MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett said.
Last week, AT&T deposited a down payment to bid in the U.S Federal Communications Commission's ongoing spectrum auction that involves a sale of airwaves from television broadcasters for wireless use.
The company is one of the bidders in the sale of Yahoo Inc's Internet business. Its rival Verizon Communications Inc is seen by some industry watchers as a frontrunner in the Yahoo sale.
AT&T reported total operating revenue rose to $40.52 billion from $33.02 billion, falling slightly short of the average analyst estimate of $40.62 billion.
The net income attributable to AT&T rose to $3.41 billion, from $3.08 billion, a year earlier. On a per share basis, it fell to 55 cents from 59 cents.

Technique of the Artist
While walking through the Harn, Melanie Smith's work captured my eye. From afar, it looked like an abstract painting but upon closer inspection I discovered that it was a photograph. By piecing together several photographs from different angles, Smith creates a contrast of color and design seen in the city. By looking at the picture from a distance, you are not able to visualize the methods Smith used to create a striking mirrored image of the city. To me, this work showed how there is art in everyday life, as the buildings of the city work together to create an aesthetically pleasing image. Smith's technique allowed me to see that there is beauty in everything if we wish to seek it.
Design of the Museum
As you walk past the lobby into the museum, you are greeted by the stare of a familiar face watching you through a gray gateway: Frida Kahlo. The tantalizing photograph of Frida is precariously placed in the archway in order to draw patrons into the photography collection. This design catches the eyes of those who walk by, as Frida's colorful photo provides a stark contrast to the comparatively dull surroundings, thus further inviting museum guests to explore the exhibit. The design also makes use of lighting, as light focused on Frida further emphasizes the colorful photograph and highlights the appealing factors of it. The design of the entrance of the photography collection immediately sets a dramatic tone for the entire exhibit, further mirrored by the photos of Frida on display.
Art and Core Values
Art is an outlet through which an artist expresses their innermost beliefs. For many, this includes displays of dissatisfaction with current political and societal concepts, such as the role of a woman. For me, feminism is a core value and I believe strongly in fighting for the equality of women in all aspects. For this reason, the exhibit highlighting the Guerilla Girls spoke to me, as I shared the same beliefs as the message their works were giving off. Often times, these works provoked anger and frustration within me, as the fight for women is long and arduous and these works displayed the ludicrous nature of the suppression of women in the art industry. These works highlighted how many women face different standards from men and how women are often underrepresented in the art and entertainment industries. For me, these core values mirrored those of my own and allowed me to fully enjoy the works and the meanings they attempted to convey.
Art and the Good Life
In Dijkstra's photograph, a young girl is pictured during a transitional stage in her life. She was told to "act natural," yet she looks uncomfortable doing so. In her Tiergarten series, Dijkstra focuses on the struggle to find an identity and the struggle to be accepted in society. To me, this largely reflects themes of what the good life is. For many of us, we believe that social acceptance is the key to being happy and having a good life. However, many of us struggle to maintain a balance between acceptance and individuality, and we often lose ourselves in the process of becoming socially acceptable. This work spoke to me personally as I, like many others, have had periods of uncertainty concerning my own identity and concerning how I felt I fit into societal norms. Especially in adolescence, we are vulnerable in terms of our own thoughts towards ourselves and insecure about not being able to achieve a good life. This work gives a visual to an insecurity felt by a majority of people and highlights the pressure to create the perfect identity for yourself.

Q&A with Anne Drew Potter | 2011 Fellowship, Visual
Anne Drew Potter, The Sermon, from Le Cirque de l'Armèe Rouge, earthenware, acrylic, terra cotta, costumes, props, 5ft x 14ft x 7ft, 2010.
Q: What kind of art do you make?
A: I make figurative sculpture, often in large installations that create a public experience when exhibited. My work deals with questions of identity and it's relation to the body and the lived experience. I manipulate anatomical signifiers of identity characteristics - such as gender, age, race etc. - and create figures that defy categorization, allowing the viewer to contemplate an uncategorized experience of humanity. I address historical, mythological, and fictional narratives as they relate to current identity issues and politics. My work reflects the complex and contradictory nature of the human experience.
Q: What did you use your award for?
A: The Artist Trust award allowed me to work on non-commercial studio projects - work that was publicly shown and included educational and community outreach components.
Q: What was the impact of this award/Artist Trust on your art career/life?
A: Artist Trust Fellowship was the first major grant that I received. It had a huge impact on my career development - giving me the impetus to pursue non-commercial work with public funding support. I have subsequently received grants from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, 4 Culture, The Virginia A. Groot Foundation and the Kassan Foundation. The Artist Trust fellowship ushered in a period of making in my career that allowed me to focus on projects that were ambitious and pushed the media I work with (primarily ceramic sculpture), to pursue the content about which I am passionate in an uncompromising manner, and to focus on the public role of art that is provocative and addresses social issues.
Anne Drew Potter grew up in Berkeley, California and studied art at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, where her studies in history and dance directly informed her developing artwork in terms of content and form. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Academy of Art in Manhattan, which consisted of a rigorous education in the human figure, both from observation and conceptual models. Upon graduating from the Academy, she was awarded a travel fellowship to the U.K. through the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

"Electroshock" offers voice to three women who have undergone medically induced seizures: Polly, a 75-year-old housewife; Anita, a 52-year-old minister; and Barbara, a 44-year-old nurse. Their intimate testimonies interrogate the physical, emotional, and psychological complexities of electroshock therapy (ECT). Is electroshock an antidepressant or a form of violence against women?
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about money and writing. Namely: the inverse relationship between one and the other. Since I published my debut short-story collection last year, the large pay-checks have been noticeably absent. This was no surprise. With all the anecdotes I had heard from colleagues and friends, I didn't plan for my book to add to my 401(k). Quite the opposite, in fact. I received a small advance, a handful of good reviews and was longlisted for one prestigious award. Not too bad.
But more money would have been nice.

Lao government officials prepare for NZ
Within days of landing back in their home country Lao PDR Intake 30 ELTOs were at a social gathering to meet Intake 31. Held at Vientiane College on 29 June 2010 and orgainsed by Catherine Wood who is responsible for co-ordinating ELTO on behalf of NZAID Bangkok, the event included food and drink, discussions and a training session on the computers.
"We had a lovely get-together with all the ELTO 30 and 31s," said Catherine "It was so wonderful for the new group to see how confident the returnees were; they all gave a small speech in English, totally off the cuff, about their experiences."
Catherine said that everyone commented on what a great idea it was for them to meet like this so it's definitely something that will continue to happen in Vientiane.
The Lao part of ELTO Intake 31 is bigger than in the past with 15 government officials going. They leave for New Zealand on 12 July.
As well as organizing pre-departure briefing sessions like this one, Catherine and the team at Vientiane College will be building up the alumni database and organising functions for as many past ELTOs as she can contact. They are urged to visit the website www.accent.ac.nz ELTO Alumni and register there.

My husband and I were first time dog owners when we brought home our Corgi puppies, Parker and Penelope. Nicole helped us understand the many important considerations for raising
healthy and happy puppies, such as how to read ingredients labels in order to provide proper nutrients for meals and snacks, finding the right pet products and how to use them effectively, and taught
us how to provide POSITIVE training methods in raising happy and well-behaved companions. Nicole, thank you for helping us become good dog parents!
Arlene & Perry O. Pasadena, CA
Nicole is the BEST dog trainer ever! We have a Border Collie named Briland who is full of brains and energy and Nicole is so great with him. She has not only taught our dog how to
behave she has taught US how to communicate with him, groom him, feed him a healthy diet, and keep him from getting bored and into trouble. We love the one on one attention we and our dog get when
she comes to our home for a private lesson. We have referred Nicole to several of our own clients and would recommend her to anyone who has or wants a dog. It's never too late to start training if
you have Nicole. She's the best!
Laura & Todd F.
Sierra Madre, CA
After having had a completely untrained dog, I knew I needed to go a different route with my new Portuguese Water Dog puppy Bento. Nicole was highly recommended by a neighbor whose dog served as a great advertisement. Training with Nicole is one of the best things I've done with Bento. He absolutely adores her and "school days" are nothing but fun for him. More than just training Bento, she has trained us humans. Nicole has helped us better understand Bento so we can communicate with him which adds to the fun of having him around. Having forgotten about life with a puppy, it was such a comfort to have lessons with her and figure out "puppyness" and learn how to get him started off on the right path. Bento is turning into a fine young dog and we are all so thankful to Nicole for helping us have the best relationship possible.

A BIG thank you to Nicole for all of her help and recommendations! My Coton de Tulear puppy Colbert had chronic Giardia for months despite having had several rounds of
antibiotics. I took him to Holistic Veterinarian Dr. Limehouse at Nicole's recommendation on Monday and by Tuesday I could already see a huge improvement. Nicole also showed us how to work with
Colbert to help him accept being groomed. I took Colbert to Tracy at Pasadena Pet Grooming (also recommended by Nicole). He had a temper tantrum at first, which Tracy handled very well, and she
reports that he behaved well after I left. I've also noticed a big improvement at home with the brushing. Thanks so much for your help, Nicole! It is such a relief to have found great people to help
us in these areas.
Laura K.

Hard to believe, looking at sweet Domino that he had some aggression issues when it came to protecting his toys! Nicole was amazing with our baby French Bulldog--she figured out
the problem right away, and worked on obedience training with him. Not only does he love Nicole, he actually listens to her (and now us) and has really settled down on all fronts at home,
including growling and chewing. Nicole not only knows her stuff but she is also intuitive. She came highly recommended to me from an owner with similar experiences and I will recommend
her to those who follow me and are at their wits end with their pups! I can't say enough great things about Nicole and her methods. They work!!
Joan A.
Pasadena, CA
My wife and I highly recommend working with Nicole for dog training because in addition to being very good at what she does, she also has a real genuine love for dogs and it shows. Nicole
helped to socialize our Mini Dachshund puppy Oliver with all different types of dogs from a relatively young age, which has helped him become a very social and well-adjusted
adult. When we get our next dog, we definitely plan to have Nicole work her magic again!
Andy & Carie S.
Pasadena, CA
Molly, my Shiba Inu, did not know how to play nice with other dogs, but after Nicole's Puppy Kindergarten class, she was totally socialized. We ended up taking Obedience (a
necessity with a Shiba Inu!) and also Agility (FUN) with Nicole. She makes dog training a joy, and is an excellent trainer. We love Nicole!!
Patti H.
Pasadena, CA
When I walk my Miniature Dachsunds Scarlet & Tori the difference between a trained dog and an untrained dog is obvious. You see an owner with a dog in the distance and when they see you they duck into a driveway or hold their barking and snarling dog at bay as you walk by. My dogs, trained by Nicole, walk by the untrained dog who is having a conniption with a look on their faces saying, "What's wrong with this dog?" Her training classes are fun for both the dog and the human.
David D. Pasadena, CA
We had our concerns about getting trained, my two rescued Italian greyhounds, Maddy & Letta, and I. Letta was afraid of all dogs; Maddy was afraid of all people; and I am a
bit clumsy and have always had difficulty understanding spoken instructions. Then, we found Nicole and it has been all smiles and tail wags ever since. People ask why I drove such a long way to go to
Nicole's class; the answer is because class is so much fun and you learn so much at the same time. Nicole is a very experienced, kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable teacher who uses only positive
training methods. I have seen her work miracles not only with my two scared little dogs but with many other dogs of various sizes and personalities. I recommend her very, very highly. She gets 8 paws
and 2 thumbs up from us!

I admit that before Tiger Woods, I had no interest whatever in golf. All I knew about golf was that I was terrible at it the few times I was forced to go to a golf course in my youth, and that it was boring to watch on television, and that it was my impression that golf was a pastime for retired people and people with money to waste and had exclusive access to the clubhouse. The bottom line was that before Tiger Woods, I didn't give a damn about golf or the people who played it.
But that changed somewhat when Tiger Woods emerged onto the scene. The media treated him the like the Second Coming, and why not? Here was this young (mostly) black man who was clearly not one of society's "privileged" class, who was threatening to break down the walls of golf's privileged, exclusionary society. And he wasn't merely going to be one the best, but he was going to be the Michael Jordon of golf, establishing a new paradigm of greatness, making white golfers look like they were the second-class citizens. Thus Woods represented (whether he accepted it or not) everyone who felt excluded from the halls of power and privilege, who by sheer force of will and talent broke down the door—not just for him, but for all those who felt the outsider.
That is why golf's new young "superstars" will never have the same impact on the public imagination as Woods had. They are just another generation of the privilege class. Sure, golf fanatics will call them the long-awaited "changing of the guard" as Woods falls off the map, but others will see them as the latest of the "great white hopes" will succeed only because Woods, because of injury and age, has seen his glory days pass. There greatest fear was that Woods might herald the start of an influx of black golfers who take their sport away from them.
But there was never any chance of that happening, and Woods has never recovered from either the injury that made his last major championship victory, the 2008 U.S. Open, such a courageous one, or the damage to his reputation and fall from grace following revelations of his marital problems. It hardly seems even ironic that Tom Brady, a white football star, was left untouched by the media when he dumped his pregnant first wife for a super model.
The reality is that while it is good for the hardcore golf fan that Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson and Roy McIlroy have risen to the top of the golf heap—which means nothing save that they are better than the competition—none of these players has anything close to the societal and cultural impact of Woods. Not even close. And that means that both golf's popularity and revenues will take a hit—perhaps it will be a slow slide so long as Woods is around—even the PGA brass think that his "shelf-life" as a money-maker for the tour for another decade—and slide back to be of interest only to the committed golf fanatic.
But there are of course those who actually thought Woods' success was a danger to the game—or to the notion of white supremacy—and refuse to face the truth. Take for example the Bleacher Reports' Tom Weir: "Spieth and McIlroy are rendering the old guard irrelevant, and it's a joy to see. Monday morning conversations about a golf tournament are far more enjoyable when they focus on triumphs rather than a fading star's latest round of 80."
Weir must be one of those "traditional" types who bemoaned Woods' dominance of a "white" sport. Of course it is a "joy" to see his presumed demise, with the game back in the hands of where it "belongs." Well, who follows polo or lacrosse in this country? Nobody, because they are just "country club" activities for people who think these pastimes are for "superior" people—and what is more "country club" than golf?
Others are less sanguine about the impact of a Tigerless golf world. Jake Simpson wrote in the Atlantic:
For more than 15 years, Eldrick "Tiger" Woods has been the engine fueling the exponential growth of golf's revenues, purses, and endorsement deals, and he's a bigger draw for casual fans than the rest of the sport combined. For starters, he's brought in younger fans through his sheer cult of personality on the golf course. Woods, at the peak of his powers, was cool like Jordan or Ali—he can't be compared to any other golfer in terms of his effect on the sport's popularity among the masses.
Sara Germano of the Wall Street Journal wrote:
For the fifth year, overall participation in golf fell in 2014 as measured by the number of U.S. individuals who reported playing on a course at least once, according to Sports & Fitness Industry Association data. But the participation rates of people aged 18 to 34 fell roughly 13% in 2013 from 2009, while their rates for other active sports like running rose 29%, according to SFIA data.
Jason Notte, writing for Market Watch, noted that while "certain corners of the sports and business worlds are elated" by the development that "new blood" is driving endorsements for their products, "using dog whistles such as 'clean cut' to describe Woods' would-be replacements and "all-American" to describe Masters winner Jordan Speith — this isn't how it works...Millennials grew up watching Tiger Woods' near-invincible run and, when he isn't around, they have no problem abandoning golf altogether. According to Nielsen, 63% of people who watch golf on television are 55 or older. A whopping 87% of golf viewers are over the age of 35, making golf's audience the oldest in professional sports just ahead of Nascar (with 77% of racing viewers age 35 or older). Compared to the 45% of the NBA's audience that's under 35, golf looks gray and out of touch."
Notte also noted that Golf.com places Woods' "value to the sport at somewhere around $15 billion. That's 22% of the $68.8 billion golf industry and roughly a quarter of the status quo that isn't coming back if millennials and other casual fans tune out golf altogether."
I've got news for those people who think that Jordan Spieth is the new "golden child" of golf: The "millennials"—those born between 1980 and 2000—whose formative years occurred during Woods' rise to prominence, a symbol that anything was possible if you had the talent no matter what the odds, breaking down the barriers that prevented entry into previously closed doors—see those doors closing again, and the same old faces in control again. I have already confessed that I became a "fan" of golf solely because of Woods; every weekend I checked the leaderboard to see only one name: Tiger Woods. I didn't care one whit about the other players.
But with Woods out of the picture, I have no interest in golf whatever, and there are many, many "casual" fans like me. To me, if Spieth and McIlroy become "superstars," it will only because of the lack of the poor quality of their competition, and the desperate need for someone—anyone—to escape the long shadow of Woods.
I am one of those who occasionally took a peek at sports headlines that suggested that Woods was in "contention" to win a tournament, and if so probably watched the weekend rounds of a tournament if he had any chance of winning. Otherwise, my interest in golf was and is close to zilch—and no doubt I will be joined by many if not most of those people who found Woods such an inspiration for breaking down barriers. McIlroy and Speith, no matter how "great" they are perceived to be, can never elevate themselves beyond the course the way Woods has done. For me and many others, they are just a reversion to the "old" guard, not the new.

Celebrate Bad Poetry Day!
We made note of "Bad Poetry Day" two years ago, having just missed the chance to celebrate it. Then we missed it last year, I'm not sure why. Now, we have our chance again. Bad Poetry Day is tomorrow, August 18th .
Someone invented it for whimsy's sake, which is better motivation than produced Hallmark holidays, invented for commerce. Actually, I'm not sure that Hallmark itself (it is a "person" after all) ever invented a holiday, but Bad Poetry Day would have been an appropriate one.
The same person who named Bad Poetry Day also named Family History Day in June. I'm much, much more interested in bad poetry than family history.
But no one sets out to write bad poetry, except in celebration of the day, and this makes it awkward to celebrate. Who wants to win? To be feted?
Perhaps it should be honor'd in the breach, in a way—that we should celebrate good poetry.
What's good? Shakespearean sonnets, of course. Baxter Black, someone says. Poetry remembered and recited as its main form of transmission is almost certain to be different from that which is written and read.
Poetic forms used to serve memory, but even modern free verse can be memorized, and not simply by brute force but with the aid of rhythms and accents (and meaning) poets can hardly keep out of their work.
It's really no harder to remember "The winter evening settles down with smell of steaks in passage ways. Six o'clock …" than it is "Once up on a midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary …"
Or, "The house was quiet because it had to be. The quiet was part of the meaning, part of the mind: the access of perfection to the page."
Sometimes, you read on the subway. Other times, when, as Wallace Stevens said, "The house was quiet and the world was calm. The reader became the book; and summer night was like the conscious being of the book," you read in utter peace and stillness.
You're not being transported away from anything but rather into something.
School is starting and Mumford & Sons are coming, but there will still be pauses in the day when you might pick up some poems. The library has plenty of poetry, both upstairs and in the annex, in books and in magazines. So it's easy to keep some at hand.
If you have no preferences yet, you might keep Garrison Keillor's collection "Good poems" on the coffee table, or his other one, "Good poems for hard times." Or Nobel laureate poet Czeslaw Milosz's collection "A book of luminous things." Or "Upholding mystery: an anthology of contemporary Christian poetry."
You might imagine there are others. "Wheel and come again: an anthology of reggae poetry." And "When she named fire: an anthology of contemporary poetry by American women."
A Baxter Black fan may not like Charles Bukowski but may enjoy "The big roundup," another anthology. I revere certain poems by T.S. Eliot and Wallace Stevens, but not all of them.
So far, though, I've enjoyed everything I've read by Todd Boss and Matthew Dickman. I liked all of Stephen Dobyns's "Cemetery nights" and "Common carnage."
Don't worry, I'm not stuck on white males, dead or alive. I've greatly enjoyed everything by Kay Ryan. I remember Linda Pastan, Lucia Perillo, Wislawa Szymborska, Ellen Bass, Dorianne Laux, Daisy Fried.
What I'm saying is: It's so easy. Honor "Bad Poetry Day" with great poetry.

Buying a house, or moving into a new home can be a super exciting time, moving day however, not so much. There are few things more painstaking, slow and messy than gathering up all of your belongings, boxing them up and then moving them elsewhere only to be unpacked again. It is precisely for this reason that you need to make sure that you are on the ball when it comes to get ready for your moving day. I would also recommend that you go to a site such as Shiply, and find yourself a great removal service to complete your house move in a fast and efficient manner. Here then are some tips for you on getting ready for your house move.
Early Bird
One of the biggest keys to making your house move run smoothly is to really get ahead of the game when it comes to organisation. From the moment that you know when your moving day will be, start packing up things which don't get used a lot, start small and gradually pack more and more in the build up to the big day. If you do all of your boxing up last minute, you'll find yourself in chaos.
Get Purging
Boxing up all of your worldly possessions gives you a great opportunity to start clearing things out which you simply don't need. Keep a box or two to one side for things which are surplus to requirements and then sell or donate them to get them out of the house.
Put a System in Place
If you have multiple people helping you with your home move it is important to put a solid system in place regarding who is doing what. Make sure that you manage this well so that no boxes get confused with others, and that everyone knows what they are doing.
Label, Label, Label
Every box which you pack up should have a selection of labels on the side. Each box should state whether it is light or heavy, whether it is fragile or expensive, as well as having a sticker which indicates which room the box is destined for.
Next up it is time to think about the logistics of moving day, who will be helping? How much stuff are you moving? What kind of transport do you need? Who drives? All of these questions should be in your mind when it comes to working out the logistics, align all of this first and moving day will be a cinch.
Communication With Movers
I'd always recommend that you use a professional removal firm, at the very least for your heavy, large or expensive items. It will be important therefore that you have regular communication with your movers as to what time they should arrive, how far they will be traveling and what kind of vehicle is required.
Follow these tips and your moving day will run like clockwork and give you minimal stress.
