Seriously though, what the fuck is wrong with people over the age of 30?
When I was 18 years old I had a Morris Marina. It was the same colour as the product of a night of Carling, cheap black, and kebabs. It wasn't modified in any significant way, and it didn't have a loud stereo. But it was invariably full of pissed teenagers, who were invariably egging the driver on to drive faster than was boringly necessary. After than I had the Chevette that spawned the obsession, but the less said about offences committed in that, the better. If you totalled up what those of us who drove it got away with and applied them to me personally as the owner, I'd still be inside now.
On that note, let me introduce the more naive of you to the phrase "This generation think they invented booze/drugs/sex/cars/fun" (Delete as applicable.)
We, the 80s generation know this is not true, because the 60s generation tell us so. And we know, from our own experiences that the parallels are too close to deny. They're just not so close we can make the young of 2010 see that it's... all... the... fucking... same...
We have a duty, as old people, to complain about The Youth Of Today. Be they committing the sin of Being Loud In Public, or Tagging A Random Wall, The Youth Of Today are louder and taggier than the youths who did it 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Whether they're Crack High or D.U.I they're more of a menace than we, or our parents, ever were. Because they've got, like, knives, and phones, and stuff.
Seriously, I would love to go back to 1985 to 1991 and arm myself, Stoney, Mark, Andy Haslam, Ju Robinson, Nick Ellis, Dave Duffy, Matt Dicketts and my own sister with a video camera and see what, if left to our own devices, we concocted for public consumption. There are names on this list that might not appreciate me pointing this out but... that's my point. We were YOUNG.
Do not blame the young for being young. They are not like us, but they are a product of us. We are the dickheads they hated because we hated the dickheads of our parents generation. Who produced us. Ehhh... you see where this is going...
But Kids Don't Use This Street Like A Racetrack.
Kids Today know more about their chariots than we ever did. God forbid a 17-year old should drop a 1600 lump into a 1.0 Saxo without uprating the brakes. A 2500w sounds system? Pffft! Unheard of, to us. Peanuts to Jake in his Fiesta Si. It's all about insurance...
We hear all the time about how kids driving cars kill other kids in their cars, but the reality is it's something that's been going on continuously since post-ward years. Seriously, I've heard the stories from the 60s... yet here we are: a post 1970 culture complaining about less powerful, more roadworthy vehicles, piloted by offspring with better knowledge, better training, and better hardware than we could ever have hoped for.
This Street IS a Racetrack. It's just not a racetrack like we knew it to be.
What goes around, comes around.

A PremierPub and 3 Good Eating Places – Greenwich Village
Caffe Vivaldi / 32 Jones Street (btw. Bleecker St./W4th St.)
Café Vivaldi is a classic, intimate club located in Greenwich Village on Jones Street, the street featured on the cover of Bob Dylan's second album, "Freewheelin'. "
Each night Ishrat, the long time proprietor and impresario, carefully curates and schedules an eclectic series of musicians. You can often see him at his table in the corner, hard at work reviewing music videos and listening to cd demos on his laptop, scouting out future bookings. Musicians come from all over to play and sing in a club in Greenwich Village. Some are local New Yorkers, others are just passing through, in town for a few days.
There is a small bar, seating maybe 10. It's close to the stage and I find it's a perfect spot to sip a glass of red wine while listening to the music. The room itself has the performance area at one end and a cozy fireplace at the other. The performance area here is small, dominated by a large black Yamaha Grand piano. Tables are bunched together and most people at the tables are eating lite meals or sampling the wonderful desserts.
There is also a good selection of fairly priced wines, but you are here because of the music. You can never be quite sure what you're going to find, and that's half the charm of this place. It's not a home run every night, but many nights it's pretty special.
I remember the night I saw the most talented bossa nova group, just in from San Paulo. As I listened, I wondered if there was any better music playing anywhere else in New York City that night. And at Caffé Vivaldi there is never a cover charge. Their recently redesigned web site does give you a better idea of the type of music playing each night.
At one time Greenwich Village was filled with clubs just like this, but times change. Real estate interests have impacted the village, and not for the better. Even Caffé Vivaldi had a rough time recently, when a new landlord raised the rent exorbitantly. Fortunately, Ishrat has built a loyal following over the years, and a fund raiser and slightly more reasonable rent has kept Café Vivaldi in business.
When Woody Allen and Al Pacino wanted to make movies featuring the timeless quality of Greenwich Village they came to Vivaldi. It's important that we keep this special place alive, for if we lose Cafe Vivaldi, NYCity will have lost a piece of it's soul.

3 Good Eating places
It's not difficult to find a place to eat in Manhattan.
Finding a good, inexpensive place to eat is a bit harder.
Here are a few of my faves in this neighborhood:
Fish – 280 Bleecker St. (just a bit S. of 7th ave South)
This was an easy pick – the best raw bar special in town. $9 gets you 6 of the freshest oysters or clams + a glass of wine or beer. Don't know how they can do it, but I tell everyone I know about this place. And it's located right in the heart of some of the best no cover music in town.
Bleecker Street Pizza – 69 7th ave S. (corner of Bleecker St.)
The place is tiny and not much to look at, but this is one good slice. They like to brag that they have been voted "Best pizza in NY" 3 years in a row by the Food Network. I believe them. I would have voted for them.
Num Pang – 21 E 12th St. (btw. University Place/5th ave.)
This is a Cambodian banh mi sandwich shop that kept me well fed while I was in class nearby recently. It's cramped, even for NYCity, but usually there is room up the spiral staircase to sit down and eat. In good weather carry your sandwich a few blocks to Union Square park. You may have to wait a few minutes, because everything is freshly made, but it's worth it. Can you believe – an unheard of 26 food rating by Zagat.
"3 Good Eating places" focuses on a quick bite, what I call "Fine Fast Food – NYCity Style"
No reservations needed.
NYCity is the most diverse and interesting place to find a meal anywhere in the world. With more than 24 thousand eating establishments you might welcome some advice.

To install or repair any roof, quality work from skilled professionals is absolutely critical. Materials are important, but the quality of labour and skill makes all the difference.
It is astonishing how often something as basic as nailing roof shingles is done incorrectly. The best shingles are no good if the nailing causes them to leak, lift or split. You might see a roofing team in action in your neighbourhood, moving quickly with their nail guns, and think it's pretty simple work. They make it look easy. But shingle nailing is an art that demands a burning desire to be the best at it. Do it wrong and a roof will leak and suffer serious damage.
This blog is the first of three that looks at the quality of this crucial roof work.
Damages Caused by a Leaky Roof
BC's leaky condo crisis in the 1990s showed clearly how poor quality roof work and water infiltration cause huge damage. Even now, roofing companies still get "branded" by those who remember the scandal. Faulty waterproofing and improper roof installations have caused $4 billion worth of damages to BC homes built between the 1980s and the early 2000s. Fixing them has been the most expensive housing reconstruction problem in Canadian history.
Just one leak from improper shingle nailing can cause multiple problems inside houses and condos. Water infiltration can ruin ceilings, insulation, structural integrity, walls, cabinets, carpets, floors and furniture. The results are warping, rotting, even collapse. And, of course, mould runs rampant. These problems take a long time and cost thousands of dollars to repair. Just from improperly nailed shingles.
Shingle Nailing is a Skill
Many people believe that shingle nailing is a low-skill task. But this misconception is one of the biggest reasons why there are so many roof leaks in Vancouver and across Canada.
Roof installation and repair requires training, skill, experience and a desire to be the best.
A lot more goes into shingle installation than merely hammering nails. An average roof has 3,000 shingles and thousands more individual nails. Correct nailing technique will weatherproof a roof. Skill means precision. Even slightly incorrect nailing poses risk.
Over-driven nails, under-driven nails, incorrect nail positioning and wrongly angled nails can cause:
- shingle lifting, even blowing off
- water infiltration
- roof weakness
- split shingles.
Every Home Deserves the Best Roof Quality
Low price is not the bottom line. Roof materials are not everything. Training, skill, quality labour and attention to detail are everything. Doing the roof right the first time costs way less than continued follow-up repairs. A secure roof makes a secure home.
Access other parts to this blog here:
Part 1
Every home and condo deserves proper roof installation. More to come in the next blog about quality roof work and shingle nailing.
As a renovator Doug did many rot repairs which gave him a good understanding of where and why buildings leak, and how to prevent it. He realized the need for a different approach to roofing; one that educated the customer enough to make good decisions. With better trained installers and a quality inspection process Absolute Roof Solutions was born…" Read more.

How much power can I get?
There is a limit to the power available in the wind; it is defined by the kinetic enegy of the wind. If one were able to open a window of area A and bring all the wind flowing through that window to a stop, the energy that could be extracted would be:
As one might expect, we cannot extract all the available energy. For starters, there is a theoretical limit to the energy we can extract called the Betz Limit. A wind turbine will never quite reach the Betz Limit because it has inefficiencies itself. Then tack on inefficiencies in the generator, subsequent electronics and the battery, and it can get discouraging to see how much of this energy wasted. On the other hand, it means there is great reward for the careful designer.
Air density is around 1.2 kg/m^3; a little less at higher altitudes, a little more at sea level.
Air density is around 1.2 kg/m^3; a little less at higher altitudes, a little more at sea level.
The Betz Limit
According to theory, no wind machine can exceed an efficiency of around 59%. The derivation of the Betz Limit can be found at numerous locations and will not be re-developed here.
Betz Limit derivation
How much energy can I get?
The question of how much energy is available is related to the questions of how much power is available and how much wind can one expect. We can calculate how much power is available in a 5.0 m/s wind for example, but to calculate energy availability, we need to know how long the wind will blow at that speed. We can combine the concepts of statistical wind speed distribution and power availability to come up with an energy distribution graph. The example below shows how much energy is available at various wind speeds for a 1.0 m^2 turbine over a period of 30 days in an area where the average wind speed is 4.5 m/s.
Note that while the average wind speed is 4.5 m/s in this example, the bulk of the energy availability can be found between 6 and 9 m/s. The wind may spend a lot of time blowing at around 3.0 m/s, but there is not much power in a 3.0 m/s wind. Conversely, there is a tremendous amount of power available in a 20 m/s wind, but a wind of that magnitude is so rare that very little energy is produced at that speed. Also note that almost 83 kW-hrs is availabe over the 30 day period, but the efficiency of the wind energy system has not been factored in. Actual energy production will be much less.

text: 24th Jan 00:00 British Airways is strongly denying that it is introducing an extra charge for online bookings. A spokesperson for the airline told TravelMole that fares are simply becoming more transparent. "We are going to show people exactly where their money is going by breaking down the taxes and charges to show the fare, then the amount that covers a security fee, fuel surcharge, airports taxes and charges and a £1 booking fee," he said. The spokesman added that the airline has always charged a £1 booking fee online. Reports in the press over the weekend suggested BA passengers who book flights on ba.com would face an extra charge of up to £10. The move was criticised by BA's no-frills rivals, which claimed the extra charge is unjustified because websites are relatively inexpensive to run.

Greetings Business People how are you doing forumites? Its 5 days into 2016 what are your predictions when it comes to business?
Ok this evening I bring you some interesting stuff especially for resident Zimbos, ava varimuno hedu muZimbabwe—aaah kwapisa. Ukuwo mvura hameno hameno, I have been calculating especially for Harare -so far kuti tawana moore thanrains of a normal rainfall season? I really doubt Elnino yanetsa iyi.[soliloquy id="75″]
Ok the great news that I have is that some time back before the formation of this group a friend approached me zvikanzi Mdala I got a relative of mine arikudawo basa mubatsire. Hino wa Mdala ndikati zvomene handina chandingamubatsire nacho but ngaambounze cv yake tiwone.
Cv ichiuya wanikwe mwana uyu is one of the most intelligent young Zimbos I have ever met. Her name is Nyasha and I will feature her story later on during the year. Although I have never met her despite staying in the same neighbourhood ( Yeah wa Mdala haafaririre to meet folks lol)
So this lady andipa cv yake I got in touch with a few friends of mine in Uk, got an email from a UK based training institute called Asranti which you can find on http://astranti.com/
They were looking for module writers-vanhu vanoyora ma business modules for various business subjects.
So I checked with Nyasha–ndokubva amboti ayewa handisati ndambozviita, ndokubva ndanyengerera kusvika abvuma.
Bottom line is that the young lady accepted to write business modules for Asranti…kana uri a CIMA member or student you should know about it.
So the young lady got a part time job, got training and the good news is that ndakanzwa kuti akatenga mota yake nemari yekunyora ma modules.
So from the comfort of her home in Harare , the lady started earning hundreds of pounds!!! All she needed was a computer and internet connection and produce a lot of Accounting modules which were sold to a lot of Accounting students in UK and worldwide.
Vamwe vari busy kumhanya mhanya,kutsvaga capital,kukwereta vamwe venenge vakatyora pamba vachiita mari and you wonder how? Haana chikwambo here?lol Haasi tsotsi?
Bottom line dear reader is that the world is changing fast. Kune mimwe mikana yandingati mikana yemumhepo kkk As a forum we will try our level best this year to talk about areas such as :
1) Virtual work-virtual assistants etc
2) Forex trading
3) Call centres.
Mikana yakati kuti but chanetsa kusaziva. Tese tiri kuramba takatarisa same direction-kana usina capital wobva wangoti hapana zvekuita.
Be careful of online fraudsters. Those that say PAY US this amount kuti uwane ma opportunities. Wa Mdala is not talking about these schemes or aya ma pyramid schemes azara muZimbabwe anonzi unza mari as contribution wodeedza vamwe, yako mari yozita etc. We will help members by covering our topics on a forum where folks can quickly point out risk areas.
Wishing you all a Blessed 2016.

Britain's biggest professional cycling race
We arrived enthusiastically and early in Camberley to gain the best vantage point for the start of stage 7 of the Tour of Britain bike race. Things started well and we were able to get a photo opportunity with the race organiser, between his interviews with the TV media.We were directed near to the presentation stage as a good vantage point. All the teams cycled up in front of me in turn, got off their bikes, and walked up to the stage. Unfortunately, once they were on the stage I couldn't really see them as they were to one side. There was also a photographer bobbing up and down in front of me. But I did manage to see Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish. After the presentation the cyclist rode off swiftly to form up on the start line.Just before the start a cavalcade of police motorcyclists in full fluorescent yellow uniforms on gleaming BMWs went past to clear the road ahead. Then there was an enthusiastic count down by the ten deep crowds, lead by the commentator, and the race was on. To the sound of banging on the hoardings, horns, and sirens, the cyclists shot off around the streets of Camberley.Once the race was underway it was all over very quickly and the crowds cleared away, giving us the opportunity to get snapped on the start line.The local businesses had made an effort to enter into the spirit of the event. I enjoyed a tasty bacon sandwich from a barbeque from outside of one of the pubs before going home. At home I was able to watch the recorded highlights and the rest of the race on TV as it continued to Brighton.www.tourofbritain.co.uk

West Indies Cricket Team Description & General Information
The West Indian cricket team, also known as the West Indies or, colloquially, the Windies, is a multi-national cricket team representing a sporting confederation of 15 mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies and non-British dependencies.
From the mid-1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Test and One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies: Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs, Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhai, Sir Frank Worrell, Clyde Walcott, Everton Weekes, Curtly Ambrose, Michael Holding, Courtney Walsh, Joel Garner and Sir Viv Richards have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.[1]
The West Indies have won the ICC Cricket World Cup twice, in 1975 and 1979, the ICC World Twenty20 once, in 2012, the ICC Champions Trophy once, in 2004, and were runners up in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2004. The first cricket team to win the World Cup twice, their record was surpassed by four World Cup wins by Australia, and equaled by India in 2011. West Indies are also the first team to win back to back World Cups, since surpassed by three consecutive World Cup wins by Australia (1999, 2003 and 2007). West Indies is the first team to appear in three consecutive World Cup finals (1975, 1979 and 1983), since surpassed by four consecutive World Cup finals appearances by Australia (1996, 1999, 2003 and 2007).

Clarity Pointe Pensacola - Pensacola, FL
Clarity Pointe Pensacola - Pensacola, FL has yet not published prices.
Look Around
The food is not great, cold food is what I have witnessed. They had a great cook a while back but she left to work elsewhere and the new cook...not the greatest kitchen cooking we have experienced while touring. Other facilities make sure their residents get top notch dining and are satisfied. Its a clean facility. It is expensive but other facilities offer better food and care in the area for a cheaper price. Private rooms at other facilities are the same price as a shared room at this facility. The caregivers are not medically certified and a lot of resignations constantly. I have been searching for REAL reviews for this facility, maybe they get removed before they are posted. I am sure this review won't make it but it's the truth.
Nice Community
This community has only been open for a year or so and it is very nice. It is so clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and kind very professional. However, it tended to be more expensive than others we had looked at but if mom gets the sort of care and attention that is needed we might have to reevaluate her situation and reconsider this community.

Google gets inside our heads
In the Internet search world, Google is clearly king and marketing professionals across the globe give this tech giant the lion's share of their search marketing attention. Every time Google makes a change to its infamous algorithm, search engine marketers scramble to assess the impact and adjust their strategies.
While Google's algorithm changes often, the company's ultimate vision -- to deliver users the fastest and most relevant response to search queries -- has not. Many of the algorithm changes over the last few years were intended to counteract those looking to cheat the search engine optimization (SEO) system to obtain short-term search result wins at the expense of delivering the most relevant content and websites to users. Inevitably, algorithm adjustments win out and "black hat" strategies, as they are called, are rendered ineffective.
In addition to overcoming manipulative strategies, Google's advancements in search technology have allowed the search engine to function more like our brains naturally do -- meaning more conversational in nature. Most of the time when we head to Google, we're looking for the answer to a question.
If you want to know how to choose the best type of window coverings for your new home, for example, your brain might process this as "how do I pick window coverings for my home" versus "window treatment selection guide," the latter of which follows the traditional keyword format of years past. The former option is referred to as a "long-tail keyword" and it's more conversational in nature, which search marketers refer to as "semantic SEO."
Semantic or conversational SEO, and the idea of Google trying to replicate our thought patterns, might make you a bit uncomfortable; it's necessary, however, when you think of the growing number of searches initiated by voice command (e.g., via Google Glass or Siri). We don't naturally speak in neatly organized key words. That's why the Google team is so intent on returning results that align with a user's real intent for the search, and why we must adjust our search practices accordingly by writing Web content conversationally.
Another vital SEO strategy is having a website that is mobile responsive (displays well on any sized device), as just recently Google began favoring mobile-friendly sites in mobile searches in a big way. Given that more than half of Internet activity is conducted via mobile, a mobile-friendly site is a must have.
Equally important is generating relevant, authentic links to your website from well-trafficked authoritative sources, like the news media. Pitch industry reporters and bloggers on stories featuring trend-setting developments your company is spearheading or ask them to consider your company for a "best of" list. Focus on quality vs. quantity of links. Directories and forums designed with the sole purpose of link building are considered "black hat" techniques and should be avoided.

art deco flower ring
Art Deco personifies modernism and fashion, and features sleek, elegant designs and stylized geometric shapes. Lucas Horton at Valeria Fine Jewelry has captured the crisp, clean lines and ornate designs of the Art Deco movement in his skillfully crafted art deco flower ring. Smooth, five-petal flowers have been expertly etched throughout the band's circumference, which can be forged from argentium, sterling silver, platinum, palladium or gold.
Much like the original proclivity for Art Deco designs to use luxury and expensive materials, all the designs crafted at Valeria Fine Jewelry uses the highest quality metals, diamonds, and gemstones available. The art deco flower ring may not reflect the modernism of machinery like most styles of the era, but the precision and symmetry of the petals certainly reflect Art Deco's well-known characteristics of simplicity and unvaried repetition.
The ring starts out at 4 mm wide but can be made wider per customer request. This kind of customization is only available when working with an individual jeweler who takes the time to make sure that his clients are completely satisfied with their purchase. By using comprehensive computer-aided design and lost wax casting, Lucas can create completely customizable rings, bracelets, earrings, and pendants.
Whether you can spend a few hundred dollars or a few thousand, Lucas can create art deco flower ring designs to fit your budget. His graduate degree in gemology makes him an expert in knowing what makes a stone desirable, and his personal contact with reputable diamond and gemstone dealers around the world allows him access to the precious stones at cost. As a result, he can create exceptional pieces using quality materials at a value that makes you wonder how he did it. Much like the art deco flower ring, every piece that Lucas creates is a testament to his impressive talent in jewelry making.
Be sure to visit our front page for more about Custom Jewelry and view our portfolio for more art deco flower ring designs.

The pair's big duet is the centerpiece of the Jingle Ball concert in Los Angeles on Dec. 2. Swift and Sheeran sang the song "End Game" on Swift's "Reputation" album.
Jingle Ball is Taylor's first concert after 10 months of rest. The last time she stood on stage was at a Houston concert in February.
Performed at Jingle Ball with 6 songs, including I Do not Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker by Zayn), followed by a series of songs with Look What You Made Me Do, … Ready for It ?, Blank Space, Shake It Off and especially End Game with the unexpected appearance of guest vocalist Ed Sheeran.
In this performance, Swift showed her dancing ability improved compared to many previous albums, which she has partially shown in the song Look What You Made Me Do. The singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who is now a pop superstar, sang the same song on the night of the show, also claimed that the two of them kept their relationship intact.
However, the Los Angeles Times commented that Swift's return was "hasty and not good enough." The magazine praised other artists on the show, including Demi Lovato, who "made other singers feel lazy," and Kesha, who sang emotionally with songs about her past.
I believe Taylor Swift fans are mad, b/c Ed Sheeran did more vocals tricks in Perfect duet, than he did with Taylor, Ed didn't have 2 hold back vocal wise…That's my theory…
— ??My Pussy Is Wetter Than Yours?? (@DrinkMyCumBish) December 5, 2017
Taylor Swift 's next stage is the Poptopia 2017 on February 9th in San Jose.
Also on 2/12, tickets of the world tour "Reputation" of the singer is open for sale. She will start touring in May 2018. Initially, the tour was 27 nights, but was increased nine more nights after the ticket fever was pushed up.
Yessss @edsheeran came back out to #EndGame with @taylorswift13. ? pic.twitter.com/OqTyE4QCX3

This week.... What do I tell you guys about.
Miracle lessons, kid investigators came to church, but not their parents. Italo is crazy, and has some insane concepts of life. He was talking about polygamy like it's just a social construction that we're monogomous, but he's not polygamous either, and he's just weird. It's always fun to teach him. But when we teach him, he feels the Spirit a lot, and tells us that we just make everything seem so simple. Well... Cause it is. He'll hopefully progress. I can never tell where his desire actually to find out if it's true. He definitely wants to come closer to God, and he loves talking about the plan of salvation, but when it comes to the restoration, he doesn't really have doubts, nor a confirmation that it's true. Hmmm... But he's reading and praying. SO that's good.
Susan flipped out this week when we told her there's a living prophet and 12 apostles. She now has a copy of the conference Liahona, and I bore testimony and her doubts aren't as big now. We felt a big change in the atmosphere of that lesson. We ended with the Spirit super strong. Another day we talked about the temple and eternal families. She wants to go to the temple. She says she has to get married inside. And now that she knows it's actually a possibility, she's excited about it. Please pray for her husband, Rosas. He needs to get on board with his wife. She's super cool and progressing along fine, but he barely ever listens to us. (Not that he's against it, just lack of desire.) But Susan is so good, and her little daughters are amazing. That family is now really good friends with a family preparing to get sealed soon. So that's really nice. Mechi took Susan's daughters to church for her because Susan couldn't come, and gifted the family some hymn books. Yay! I felt like a primary teacher teaching Susan's girls to sing I am a child of God. Also, Bianca, 6, just started telling me about seeing a angel the other day. That was pretty neat. I love that family. :) Being around little kids is fun!
Alicia, menos activa, studying english. We were going to drop her for a bit, but instead we invited her to prepare for a temple recommend interview. She lit up. She didn't understand that she could go do baptisms. But now she has that as a goal, and we told her she can go to gospel principles with us instead of JAS (she feels to young next to the other JAS... hm, kinda like I did!), and she's more excited about church now. Sweet! She only came the first hour because her family needed her, but next week she should come again. :)
We found out about transfers last night. My comp and I stay. But we also heard about our whole zone. Well, our "little brother" Fernando was on the roof with us (where there's a signal to talk on the phone), and he's four years old. He was SO excited when we found out Hermana McQueen is going to Cajamarca. He shouted, CAJAMARCA! The elders asked, who's the kid? I was cracking up. Kids are so fun.
I think that's a pretty good summary of the week.
We also had a cool multizona this week, Otilio didn't get baptized :( and a zone training.
Love you all!
Hermana Brogan

Durham cadet shortlisted for prestigious award
7 June 2013
Cadet Sergeant Daniel Wilkie has received a Young First Aider of the Year award from St John Ambulance for his exceptional efforts in carrying out resuscitation for more than 20 minutes. He has also been shortlisted for the annual Young First Aider of the Year Awards Ceremony to be held in May next year.
Knowing his first aid skills gained as an army cadet Daniel's sister immediately contacted him when her partner Gary collapsed. Daniel rushed the few streets to his sister's house and on arriving checked the casualty, who was lying on a sofa, and found Gary was not breathing. Together he and his sister dragged Gary off the sofa and Daniel started to carry out resuscitation while an ambulance was called. It took more than 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Throughout this time Gary maintained CPR with rescue breaths and chest compressions – the Resuscitation Council recommend changing over every 1 to 2 minutes due to the physical strain of keeping up with CPR.
Once the ambulance finally arrived Daniel carried on CPR while they set up around him and delivered 3 shocks from a defibrillator before rushing Gary to hospital. Sadly Gary died later that evening but Daniel's skills might well have given him a chance to live he would not otherwise have had.
It is no surprise that Daniel and his team mate won the young adult first aid competition held at Stainton Camp this weekend for teams of cadet first aiders from across the North East. Daniel's skills will be tested again, but fortunately not for real, when he participates in the national competitions later this year.

PITTSBURGH - It's hard to imagine that the AFC's only 5-1 team could rank last in the NFL in defense. But it's true. Teams are racking up yards against the New England Patriots.
But if ever there's a case of statistics failing to tell the whole story, this is it.
"That is a function of them just whacking people and being way out in front," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin explained. "So if you come in and you think they are the 32nd best defense in football, you are kidding yourself. They're whacking people pretty good."
Since the 2001 season, no one has whacked the opposition as well as the Patriots. They are the only team in the league with 50 divisional wins. They are only the second team to rack up 10 straight winning seasons during the Super Bowl era.
Since Bill Belichick became coach in 2000, the Patriots have the best road record in the league. Since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002, the Patriots have the best home record in the league.
And when the Patriots come to town this weekend to play the Steelers (5-2), they bring with them a 4-1 record in games at Heinz Field.
"They win," Tomlin said. "Ultimately that is how we are measured."
Here's a look at the personnel the Patriots are winning with this year:
Over the years, Tom Brady has had a solid supporting cast. But with the Patriots, everything revolves around their remarkable quarterback.
Brady leads the league with 360.5 passing yards per game, and is on pace to become just the third QB in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season (the others are Dan Marino in 1984 and Drew Brees in 2008).
Brady has won 116 of his 149 career regular-season starts, compiling a.779 winning percentage and giving him the best record of any QB in the Super Bowl era.
And he's played well and won often against the Steelers. He's 6-1 against the Steelers (4-1 regular season, 2-0 playoffs) with 14 touchdown passes and only three interceptions.
"He's just very good physically and mentally," Tomlin said. "He's very talented in both areas. He's tough to trick. He makes quick decisions. He has pinpoint accuracy and he has the arm to do the things he desires to do."
Brady's top two targets are WR Wes Welker and TE Rob Gronkowski. Welker, who's caught six TD passes, leads the NFL in receptions (51) and receiving yards per game (130.8). Gronkowski, who briefly attended Woodland Hills High School, has caught 29 passes for 401 yards and five TDs.
And even though the Patriots throw the ball so much, running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis is 17th in the league with 391 rushing yards.
As Tomlin explained, the Patriots are giving up a lot of yards late in games when they're well ahead. They may be allowing 423.7 yards per game, but they aren't necessarily allowing teams to light up scoreboards against them. They're tied for 10th in scoring defense at 22.5 points per game. That's only four slots below the Steelers (17.4) ppg.
"Defensively, they've had trouble at times stopping people," Tomlin said. "But they play great situational football. They're opportunistic."
The strength of the New England defense is its line -- Vince Wilfork at nose tackle with Shaun Ellis, Andre Carter, Albert Haynesworth and Gerard Warren at D-end.
"These guys have had distinguished careers with other teams," Tomlin said. "They're probably just interested in winning. They've put their hand in the pile and come aboard."
Mark Anderson, Carter's back-up, leads the Patriots with four sacks.
Cornerback Kyle Anderson is tied for second in the NFL with four interceptions.
When Tomlin started coaching in the NFL in 2001 as the secondary coach with the Buccaneers, Belichick would go on to lead the Patriots to a 24-17 upset win over the Steelers at Heinz Field in the AFC Championship Game and then a victory over the high-powered Rams in the Super Bowl.
But Belichick wasn't a guy that Tomlin looked up to at the time.
"I was blessed enough to be around some top quality guys that I worked with in my building in Tony Dungy and John Gruden and guys like that," Tomlin said, "so I didn't have to look far in terms of guys that were awesome guys to get information and inspiration from."
That doesn't mean Tomlin doesn't respect what Belichick has accomplished over the years. Belichick is the only the only coach to win three Super Bowl titles in a four-year span. He's won more regular-season games (121) and more games overall (135) during a 10-year stretch (2001-10) than any other coach in NFL history.
"They win," Tomlin said.

"What, in a world gone mad, is the value of love?" 90-year old Rita Kuhn will tell you in her love story from the Weimar Republic. Be ready to be swept into a story of music, romance, biblical philosophy, and war.
Berkeley, CA - February 15, 2018 - An inspiring story, written by an inspired author, has just been released by Cactus Moon Publications, LLC. In Another Ruth, Klara and Lev are two individuals from seemingly irreconcilable worlds who meet during a time of increasing social unrest and prejudice. Their courtship confronts them with the political and racial struggles in Germany during this turbulent period. Klara and Lev, caught in Berlin's upheaval during the rise of National Socialism, must ask themselves who they really are. What are their core values? What, in a world gone mad, is the value of love?
The book Another Ruth is named after the biblical Ruth, one of the first converts to Judaism. The Ruth in Kuhn's novel is based on the author's actual mother, Frieda Kuhn, who chose to become a Jewess in 1920's Berlin just prior to Jews being targeted for annihilation by the Nazis.

Rita married in 1951 and had four children. She received her Master's Degree in Classics at Cornell University in 1963.
After her divorce in 1965, Rita raised her four children as a single mother, while also attending graduate school and receiving her Doctorate in Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley in 1984. She also spent twelve years as a tutor for disadvantaged children at Berkeley High School.
She shared her story of survival with high school students throughout the San Francisco Bay Area from 1985 to 2015. She published her memoir Broken Glass, Broken Lives: A Jewish Girl's Survival Story in Berlin, 1933-1945. Rita is a proud mother and grandmother and lives in Berkeley, California.

***************************************************************With so many planners needing to keep costs down, caterers are looking for ways to accommodate shrinking budgets—without sacrificing their own standards for taste and presentation. So instead of pushing cheaper foods, some firms are integrating menu items that require minimal effort to set up and serve, and thus keep labor costs low.
"We're playing around with tapas-style [foods]," such as heirloom tomato salad and spiced mixed olives, said Pamela Swisher, director of catering sales at Wolfgang Puck Catering in Chicago. "The tapas is typically served on white square serving platters. As soon as the buffet is set, the chef prepares his backup platter, so it's ready to go. This keeps the buffet replenished without [making guests] wait." Swisher said that she has successfully served this kind of fare at events with more than 350 guests, using only two cooks and minimal front-of-house staff, who "are basically clearing a plate and a fork," she said. "No knives are necessary." Swisher recommends serving the tapas with colorful, biodegradable napkins—a festive touch that curbs linen costs.

The Stoll Family
Charles Stoll told in the 1900 census that he had come to America from Germany in 1853. Nancy Thompson located his marriage: Charles Stoll married Johanetta Hartman on April 9, 1863 in Clark County, Indiana. The 1870 census for Clark County shows the family living in Utica Township with their surname spelled "Stohl":
Based on the obituary of Elizabeth many years later, the Charles Stoll family moved to the vicinity of what became Bronaugh, Vernon County, MO, in about 1873.
The 1880 Vernon County census showed the family living in Moundville Township:
William C. Burton married Lizzie C. Stoll on March 5, 1885. R. H. G. Keeran presided.
On January 17, 1900, Mrs. C. G. (Nettie F.) Stoll died in Moundville. She had been a Bronaugh resident before moving to Moundville. Her birth date was August 26, 1843. She had been a member of the Methodist Church. She was buried at Worsley Cemetery.
The 1900 census then shows Charles Stoll living with his newly married son Otto and family:
Otto W. Stoll of Bronaugh died at the age of only 36 on May 2, 1908. Otto had worked all day on Friday loading hay and seemed to be feeling well. He retired as usual but about midnight, he suffered a heart attack and died before help could arrive. He left a wife and three children. He had been raised in Vernon County and was a member of the Bronaugh Methodist Church. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. His funeral was held on Sunday afternoon with the MWA in charge. Burial was in Worsley Cemetery. About a month after her husband's death, Mrs. Otto Stoll and children moved to Spokane, Washington. Her father, Mr. Baldwin, had come to help his daughter move.
One of Bronaugh's "popular and talented" young ladies was married in June 1909. The bride was Miss Emma May Stoll and the groom was Dr. Lawrence G. Clark, a "veterinary surgeon" from Nevada.
By the 1910 census, Elizabeth Stoll Burton was a widow and her father lived with her in Bronaugh:
The Board of Trustees of the Methodist Church accepted a gift of property on May 30, 1910. Charles G. Stoll donated lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Block 32 in Bronaugh. The property was to be used for the construction of a parsonage. Stoll included the stipulation that a house of at least $1,000 in value must be built on the property by September 1, 1911, or the property would revert back to him or his heirs.
Charles G. Stoll died January 30, 1914 in Moundville Township. His death certificate listed his birth date as July 17, 1833. W. D. Konantz of Arcadia, KS was the undertaker with burial at Worsley Cemetery.
This obituary, from the Bronaugh Journal, is a portion of the same one that is on the Burton page.
C. G. Stoll, Worsley Cemetery
Nettie Stoll, Worsley Cemetery
Otto Stoll, Worsley Cemetery

Sony preparing to unleash flower power
Do potted plants dream? Damn straight they do, and in gorgeous high definition, as evidenced in That Game Company's latest high-concept creation, Flower.
From the award-winning creators of flOw and Cloud, Flower looks to be an enthralling, enchanting title in which the environment serves as more than just pretty window dressing, becoming the central character. You play as a flower, depressed by life in the noisy, grungy city, whose dreams are anything but lifeless. Starting with a single petal blown from a solitary flower, you will soon be steering a swirling vortex of colorful plant parts, eventually triggering transformation sequences that restore color and life to the once dead landscape.
So, are you controlling the petal or the wind? Flower leaves that up to you, in the same way it allows you to define your own style of play. Be it racing to the end of the level or taking time to enjoy the view, it's up to you and you alone to decide how to best experience this zen sandbox. Personally, I can't wait to explore the nocturnal musings of a potted plant.

Heidi Merrick
Ever since I can remember, I have been a sucker for the color coral. My prom dress was coral, my 21st birthday dress was coral, my favorite blushes and lipsticks are... CORAL. So it should come by no surprise that I absolutely LOVE these pieces in Heidi Merrick's Spring 2009 line! The flowing chiffon and delicate ruffles creates a look that is ultra feminine and at the same time oh so boho chic! For more information on Heidi Merrick visit her blog here.

Putting a radio beacon on an asteroid
Why a transponder? Why not a simple beacon? A transponder allows fairly accurate distance measurement; but that may not be essential. A beacon that transmits at fixed intervals may be sufficient to let good tracking of the orbit to be done. I think that a major challenge is in designing a system to locate the direction of the earth and to keep a directional antenna pointed at it. Are there powerful signals sent out 24/7 from the earth that can be utilized to sense the direction of the earth from the asteroid? The Wikipedia gives a list of radio time signal stations around the world, including a 2000 KW transmitter working at 162 KHz in France and a 2.5 KW transmitter working at 20 MHz in the US. Obviously, the 20 MHz transmitter is attractive because one can design a highly directional antenna to work with it, but how do you design a simple mechanism to locate it in the first place and to re-acquire the signal if it is lost for a short time for some reason? One option seems to be to use a Sun seeker and to use rotation with an axis perpendicular to the plane of the solar orbit to acquire the earth signal. Assuming that the asteroid's orbit and that of the earth are not highly inclined to each other, the directional antenna sweeping the plane of the orbit can locate the earth. The satellite can then de-spin itself and point the antenna to wards the earth. The system should be able to work with a few different radio sources spread over the world.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Today could not be a more perfect day to celebrate the father in your life. I wanted to share with you today a quick and fun way to make a memory book for someone special whether it be your father or your best friend. It's a great way to express your love for them and also allows you to express your creative side, too!
I purchased my scrapbook at the local craft store as a pre-built scrapbook created by K & C Company. The pages are all unique and bound into the book so that helped me save on time and money.
I gathered old photos and extras I could use for added detail on the pages to make each page truly one-of-a-kind. You can choose to add whatever you like to your pages such as old ticket stubs, magazine clippings, newspaper articles– the sky's the limit!
When I began this memory book, I focused on NOT forcing myself to be the "average" scrapbooker and to let myself be completely expressive. My pages are filled with scraps of paper and fun objects that helped bring each to life.
Don't be afraid to doodle on your pages if you'd like! Make each page as personal as you'd like, and it's completely up to you to put in as much time and detail as you want.
And don't worry about making a mess, it happens! Allow yourself the space to get in your creative zone. I think it's extremely important that you show what you feel inside in this memory book of yours! Below are a few excerpts from my scrapbook I made as a memory book of my father. He was a very special man who loved everyone so much! I had so much fun spending my nights putting together a book of memories of him.
I hope you have a great time making your own book and gifting it to that special someone if you so choose.

Here is a long one on the human aspect...
16. Then what is the reason for wrong prediction from reasonably 'good' astrologers?
Answer: There are many aspects to look at. One aspect of astrologer is that he is also human, which means that there are possibilities of mistakes. For example, let us say the astrologer's father-in-law is coming to town and astrologer has to pick him up in 30 minutes (father-in-law is bringing 40 gram gold necklace for the astrologer's daughter). The appointments are running late & you enter. The mind is now a "little hurried". A small detail is overlooked in the hurry – don't we all make small mistakes.
8x8 is 16, yes, I reviewed it, and again at end of the exam also – totally 3 times! When the paper comes back we bang our head & know that during the exam "our mind" was elsewhere and kept calculating 8x8 was 16! It happens to astrolgers too! We can call this a "temporary blind spot"! In thamizh we say "kannai maraichudum"! (It is also used in context that the truth is shown in chart, but temporarily the astrologer misses it - like car's blind spot in rear view mirror)
If we look at even great people, they make blunders. Experts in sports fail in some crucial situations! How? Sometimes "over confidence" or even "arrogance", sometimes called EGO, takes more control than the "reasoning" leading the individual away from the "reality" or "truth". This leads to errors / mistakes. This leads to the downfall of a specific event or even a series of steps down leading to a permanent fall from grace. The same "blind spot" due to ANY number of reasons can happen to astrologers as well!
Second aspect is that astrologer is also human in that he/she "holds on" to earlier words (Jalpa vada - I said so, and hence I will hold on to it for ever)! For example, if you visit an astrologer and he says be careful in October. When you visit in November, he will try to "project" (from memory) that October "would have been" bad! Astrologer already knows what has been said earlier! So, astrologer is holding on to same line of thinking – instead of looking afresh (in some cases intentionally hides the fact that he calculated 8x8 as 16, maybe)!
Astrologer also by now knows more about what is happening in your life (office, parents, spouse, children) – and this influences predictions. So, have to guard against that aspect of "human touch" of attachment to clients – trying to "go along" with past predictions OR known flow of your own life!
This is not "escapism" – it is just "explanation" after the fact. It is NOT an excuse for the astrologer – it is an explanation of events that arises due to the human nature of the astrologer!

Germany's election battlegrounds - swings, strongholds and shocks
Across Germany, the campaigning is over for Sunday's election. It's not just a single national contest: Germans cast two votes, the first for one of 299 directly elected members of the Bundestag from their local district, and the second for a party.
(Bloomberg) Across Germany, the campaigning is over for Sunday's election. It's not just a single national contest: Germans cast two votes, the first for one of 299 directly elected members of the Bundestag from their local district, and the second for a party.
So where can Chancellor Angela Merkel be sure of the most support? Where might the populist Alternative for Germany hope to make inroads? Here are some of the places to watch.
The Bellwether
Pinneberg, on a commuter rail line on the northwest outskirts of Hamburg, isn't a particularly remarkable place, but it has a remarkable electoral record: Ever since Germany's current voting system was first used in 1953, the district has chosen a member of the Bundestag from the party that's gone on to lead the new government. That's not to say it's Germany in miniature: The Social Democrats regularly do better than their national performance. But the Christian Democrats' result in Pinneberg tends to mirror pretty closely how they poll across Germany as a whole; in two of the past four elections, there's only been a 0.1 percentage-point difference between the CDU candidate's score in the district and the national share for Merkel's bloc.
Conservative heartland
There's no doubting where Merkel's CDU polls most strongly: Cloppenburg-Vechta, amid the featureless agricultural landscape of northwest Germany. In 2013, the Christian Democrat in the district took 66.3% of the first vote -- the one for a person rather than a party. That was the highest score anywhere in the country, 5.6 points more than the next highest-scoring CDU candidate. In 2009, it was 62.3%, 7.7 points better than anywhere else.
The Christian Democrats have won in Cloppenburg ever since the Federal Republic was founded in 1949. It's a conservative, strongly Roman Catholic area that's seen an influx of ethnic-German immigrants from the former Soviet Union -- demographics reflected in an unusually high birth rate.
The alternative politics
Berlin is (mostly) different. And nowhere is it more different than in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, covering some of the most "in" districts in both the east and the west of the once divided capital. Hans-Christian Stroebele has held the seat for the Greens since 2002, the only member of the party ever to be directly elected to the Bundestag, rather than from the party list.
Conversely, and by no means coincidentally, this was the district where the CDU did worst in both 2009 and 2013. Last time, the CDU score of 13.7% was 8.9 points lower than anywhere else -- in fact, the six worst results for Merkel's party were all in Berlin. Stroebele isn't running this time, making this seat one to watch.
Berlin, by the way, also provided the anti-capitalist Left party with its best results last time: It took about 40% of the vote in Treptow-Koepenick -- the seat of the party's former parliamentary leader, Gregor Gysi -- as well as in Lichtenberg and Marzahn-Hellersdorf. In total, Left candidates triumphed in four districts, all in former East Berlin.
Even so, there is one corner of the capital that is mainstream Germany: Reinickendorf in the north reflected the national vote share most closely in 2013, according to a study by the Berliner Zeitung newspaper. Located in West Berlin when the capital was divided during the Cold War, the district is demographically very close to Germany as a whole.
The populist challenge
Of course, the Greens and the Left aren't the only alternative to the major-party fare on offer in Germany. Having contested the 2013 vote essentially as a movement opposed to the euro, the Alternative for Germany has morphed into the sort of right-wing populist, anti-migrant party that's enjoyed electoral success in neighbouring countries. Polls in the final weeks of the campaign showed AfD support nationally creeping up to 10% and beyond.
An indication of the sort of area where the AfD is likely to do well Sunday comes from a regional vote in May in Germany's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia. The party achieved its best result in Gelsenkirchen, scoring more than 15% in one constituency. The city is now perhaps best known as the home of the Schalke soccer club.
What was once a coal mining and heavy-industry hub that helped fuel the postwar West German economic miracle has an unemployment rate more than twice the national average, and more than one in six of the population is non-German. This may be bad news for the Social Democrats: Gelsenkirchen saw their best result in the 2013 national election, 44.1%. SPD leader Martin Schulz campaigned there just four days before the election.
Pforzheim in southwest Germany, once famed for its jewellery and watchmaking, but now with a large proportion of migrants, is another AfD target. The populists topped the poll there in last year's Baden-Wuerttemberg state election.
Yet it's eastern Germany where the AfD achieves its most spectacular results. The party targeted Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on the Baltic Sea coast, where a local poll in June showed it getting 22% of the vote, up a touch on last year's state election.
The AfD is even attempting to unseat Merkel in her own district, Vorpommern-Ruegen, which includes the medieval trading cities of Stralsund and Greifswald. AfD co-leader Alexander Gauland, meanwhile, is running east of Berlin in the Frankfurt-on-Oder district, directly taking on pro-immigration CDU lawmaker Martin Patzelt.
One-party state
Merkel's Christian Democrats don't contest elections in Bavaria, leaving the field to their allies in the Christian Social Union. The CSU won every district in Bavaria in 2013, as it did four years earlier. But while CSU support topped 60% in nine of the state's 45 constituencies, the big cities were a little more rebellious, and the party even dipped below the 40% mark in Nuremberg North. Merkel will be counting on the homeland of BMW to help deliver a fourth term for her on Sunday.
