Eternity Summer 2009 Calvin Klein - User Opinions and Reviews
Date Added: 14/03/2015My sweetheart enjoys Calvin Klein Eternity Summer 2009 and so do i. With the initial spray it will feel somewhat soapy however once a couple of minutes pass by it smells really flowery. An excellent summer aroma!by Lillian
Date Added: 13/11/2012It was the only one new perfume that caught my attention at the mall.I tried to like other Eternity Summers, but I never could - they where too plain, too masculine, too sharp...This one is different.It is a soft grassy floral, probably created in memory of long discontinued Truth by CK. Slightly sweet, it reminds me of a summer walk through meadows filled with wild flowers. I can feel a hint of litchi and a breath of ginger root, but also there is a touch of crisp green apple scent - not sweet, but mouthwatering.However, it`s just a trace, and the perfume is not sour at all. Very down-to-Earth, refreshing, calming scent!!!by marlita
Date Added: 13/11/2012I found my bottle of Eternity Summer 09 in TJX for 24.99 as well! Yay! Don't you love finding a fragrance on sale?? I agree with most other reviews here. Eternity Summer 09 is fresh, green, and floral. At first spritz I can smell the litchi (yum) and a note of green grass. After about 15 minutes, I can smell the floral notes-- tender mimose and freesia mixed with the softest magnolia. The drydown is wonderful, the tonka beans lending a subtle spicyness to the musk and cedar without going overboard. This fragrance takes on the fragrance of a floral green rather than just a floral. It sort of has a bamboo-ish quality to it for me. I do like it. I appreciate that it's soft and subtle. I would recommend for the spring, summer, or early fall.by calvina

"Please Call" by Ashleigh Evans
I was introduced to Ashleigh Evans through our mutual friend Donna from Voda Management, and we had our first face-to-face meeting with Ashleigh at the McCafe in Porirua. She explained the meaning of her song "Please Call". Along with Kathryn Armitage we began mapping out the story for the music video that would eventually become the first video production for Big Mark & Co.
So with notes in hand I went home and finally listened to the song.
And my reaction was "Oh my goodness!".
"Please Call" an incredible song that may (or may not) tell a story that is true to life, with soaring powerful vocals and a haunting melodic beat. I fell in love with it immediately.
And the song stuck with me. It became the most perfect of earworms, playing constantly in my head while I drove my car, ate my breakfast, or simply walked down the street.
And when you have a listen, it will stick with you as well. "Please Call" is simply amazing.

text: Diana Rudolph - March 16, 2010 Big Louis in the Belize River "We are looking for Big Louise!" Raul, my Belize River Lodge guide, exclaimed. I cringed a little bit because I don't like harassing fish that have celebrity status for the same reason I don't like eating anything that has been tenderly named by it's owners. It seems like once you label something it has a deeper significance and some sort of bond always emerges. It had been a slow day of fishing, however, so I was ready for a little action and anxious to catch a fish, more specifically a big snook. I am a sucker for snook and, yes, a big, strapping man in a cowboy hat, but that's another blog.The water was quite cloudy, but Raul poled slowly along the chain of mangroves as I cast blindly into wooded pockets and points. As I retrieved the fly back to the boat, a well-fed snook floated to the surface of the murky water no more than 20 feet from the bow. I quickly fired my fly in her path and she crushed it with the same ferocity that my dog destroys a squeaker in a new toy. Raul frantically shouted, "Don't let her take you to the trees!" I bent the rod low to the water and stripped diligently until the fish was a safe distance from the web of red mangrove roots. The fish jumped, as all great fish do, shaking her head frantically. I threw some slack and pulled hard when she hit the water and began to regain her bearings. Immediately, she wanted to take my fly, my line and ultimately me into a downed tree that menacingly laid at my 1 o'clock. I changed the angle of my rod and pulled. Another bullet dodged. The fish was still not directly connected to my reel, so I swept my hand along the spool of the reel a couple of times to quickly retrieve the last few feet of fly line. I happily welcomed my drag to the tussle.A few more jumps and I was finally able to steer and pull the snook to the boat where the net was waiting on the edge of the gunwale. As soon as she caught a glimpse of the knotted rope, her eyes changed from bewildered to determined faster than I could crank my reel handle one revolution. She realigned herself and set her internal GPS for the most direct route back to her house. And that is where she went with the speed that only a thick tailed, big-bodied fish can achieve. I was still connected, but knew that the fish ate the fly deep enough to expose my 40 pound shock to her sandpaper mouth throughout the entire struggle. The end was near. One quick thrash and the game was over. My fly line snapped back toward me and settled on the water's surface, the frayed shock tippet mocking me. I always remember the fish that come undone more than those I intimately release, but thankfully, fish win and Big Louise won. Perhaps, that makes me a winner as well. Get Your Fish On.

Why Should Cloud Computing Not Be Left Out of Your Cybersecurity Strategy?
"The truth is that applications and data maintained in the cloud can be more secure than data held in on-premises corporate systems. That's because moving to the right kind of advanced cloud computing system represents a more dynamic approach to risk. The security of the barriers is based not just on keeping people out, but on watching people who come in. You learn from every use of your data, and even from any attempted attack"
-Columbia Business School
Traditionally, on-premises systems are more secure, but this isn't the case anymore. A phishing email along with failure to update the system can make the system vulnerable. Moreover, it can easily lead to data breaches. A business's cybersecurity strategy should start with cloud computing. It lowers the costs and increases the accessibility and improves the basic functions of the business's systems. Cloud computing is the ideal choice to secure large data because it keeps the data safe and secure throughout the year. In some instances, machine learning algorithms are also implemented to detect and deter possible threats.
What Should You Know About Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing has grown tremendously over the decades because users are adapting to the evolution of cloud computing. It worth approximately $107 Billion in 2017 alone and predicted an increased usage of cloud computing in 2020. Additionally, it became a necessity for basic functions in the system. Cloud computing is a virtual environment that makes it easier for users to adapt to. It doesn't require using many physical components, available via a browser, and it reduces the cost of purchasing hardware and IT professionals. Services providers are the ones who control and update the software. Therefore, it is easier for users since it's cheaper and more accessible.
One of the disadvantages involved with cloud computing is security associated. It is advisable to take advantage of cloud computing for 2 reasons – It gives organizations a greater competitive edge in the use of technology than traditional IT hardware and is the ideal choice for start-up businesses.
As more organizations adopt cloud computing, awareness of the risks involved also rises. However, organizations further invest in this practice as it outweighs the associated risks. We largely link some of these risks to data breaches. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sees data destruction and corruption as breaches of data. Whereas the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) considers any leak of personal data also a breach of data. A company may get a fine or experience criminal charges for these activities.
CSA advises cloud computing providers to prompt the users to provide authentication or encrypted security code to verify their data. Allocating permissions and a proper training of employees are also potential practices. Additionally, we can recommend implementing an appropriate data storage strategy.
What Should the Companies Consider?
Cloud computing has completely transformed the approach organizations used to store data, share data and control it. Today, the public uses it widely, which makes it at a greater risk. The CSA conducted research with professionals that identified twelve potential risks related to cloud computing. The data breach was the primary risk identified with customers often experiencing a leak of their personal information. Insufficient identity, credential, and access management; in terms of this issue, the system should be more secure to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the data.
Insecure interfaces and application programming interface (APIs) are also considered risks. These should be more secure to prevent malicious attacks since they are necessary to manage and control the services offered by the cloud. The systems should also be more robust to prevent hackers from accessing it.
Account hijacking, malicious insiders and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are also among the identified risks. Hackers, as well as system administrators, are able to access sensitive data. Other potential risks include: data loss, insufficient due diligence, Abuse and nefarious use of cloud services, Denial of Service (DoS) and shared technology vulnerabilities. With that being said cloud computing usage is increasing rapidly, and it should be more secure for its users.

The Donigers of Great Neck
A Mythologized Memoir

"Many memories, many myths"—this is how Wendy Doniger begins the story of her parents' origins in Europe and sharply bifurcated life in America. Recalling their contrasting attitudes toward Judaism and religion in general—and acknowledging the mythologized narratives that keep bubbling up in those recollections—Doniger tells the story of their childhoods, their unusual marriage, their life in the post–World War II Jewish enclave of Great Neck, New York, and her own complex relationship with each of them.

It's amazing how much there is to do in the city right now. A day has not gone by where I haven't found something to do. And people are partying hard, which means everyone around me are getting sick and catching colds from weakened immune systems. I too had the sniffles earlier in the week, but I think I've managed to recover.
Whether you're lining up in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery to get one of the Omega snowflake pins, lining up at the Royal Canadian Mint to trade in your quarters for the special Olympic coins, or lining up for 7+ hours for a 20 second ride on the free zipline above Robson Street, the common theme here is LINING UP!!
Oh but it's really not that bad. I mean, we've been getting great weather for the most part, Canada's women's hockey team won gold today, and Joannie Rochette skated a great performance for her mom and earned a bronze to boot! Did you watch her the other night and tonight? Did you break down and sob like I did?
Today I ran into a couple of old friends of mine. Ann, Al, Natalie, and Meredith, namely.
It was by my work, and I was out for a meeting when they walked past me near the Olympic cauldron. Since I was high from drinking a cup of coffee, I of course began screaming Hi to each of them, and they each looked when I called their name and waved back! Very fun! Sadly, Matt Lauer was NOT there. Oh well, it has been fun having them in our city and watching their little segments that they have been doing about Vancouver on the Today show.
In the afternoon, I took a photo with a few Canadian Olympians - Mellisa Hollingsworth from the Skeleton, Mercedes Nichol from the Snowboard Half-Pipe, and Janine Hanson who was in Rowing from the Beijing summer Olympics.
Tried to check out Ukranian House tonight, but because they suffered a kitchen fire, there was no food to be had.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Do I go to the Bay to try to hunt down one of those coveted Canada hoodies that people are desperate to get? Or maybe finally head into Yaletown to see what's going on down in the LiveCity venue down there? I had set out to see two free concerts - Sam Roberts Band and Our Lady Peace - and will be walking away without having gone to either. I just get so tired by the end of the day, after work, after lining up for hours, that the thought of more standing in a giant crowd of people in chilly weather just isn't that appealing.
But now that things are winding up, I may have to suck it up and just get out there and take it all in before our city goes back to normal in a few days....

Large-scale flood damage impact assessment in Metropolitan Area
ENTRY DATE: 24 December 2014| LAST UPDATE: 24 December 2014
Categories: Disaster Prevention | Applicable to any disaster (Soft measures)
Technological Maturity: n/a
Technology Owners:
Disaster Management, Cabinet Office
Needs Addressed
The needs to reduce flood risks caused by climate change.
Adaptation Effects
Flood risks reduction through climate change prediction, understanding hazard/vulnerability/risk and systematic adaptaion mesures developing.
Overview and Features
Please see examples below
Considerations (technology transfer criteria, challenges, etc.)
Co-benefits, Suitability for Developing Countries
Reference: Large-scale flood damage mitigation measures in Tokyo Metropolitan Area
- In Tokyo Metropolitan Area, there was a pressing need to decide on emergency measures, disaster prevention measures and restoration/rehabilitation measures to minimize damage in the event of a major flood. Thus, the Expert Panel on Large-Scale Flood Disaster Countermeasures was established in the Central Disaster Prevention Council in June, 2006 to deliberate on such measures as the first expert panel focusing on large-scale flood disasters. On the basis of the latest knowledge, the expert panel conducted simulations of flooding in the event of a levee break along the Tone, Ara and other rivers or a massive storm surge in Tokyo Bay to gain better understanding of how flooding occurs. As the first attempt of its kind in Japan, the committee also analyzed various risks existing in the metropolitan area based on assumptions about human suffering including the number of deaths and the number of people left behind and other aspects of damage. The committee also deliberated on measures, particularly emergency response measures, to be taken in the event of a major flood in the metropolitan area, taking into consideration the study results mentioned above and past flood disasters. In April, 2010, the committee prepared a report on the results of these deliberations.
Figure: Flooding simulation results
- The number of people left behind resulting from levee breach induced flooding of the Tone River caused by a 200-year flood was studied. In the event of large-scale flooding, pump stations may be rendered inoperable by inundation. Even if pump stations are not inundated, the inundation of adjacent areas may hamper refueling, or it may not be possible to operate pump stations, floodgates, etc., because of the need to ensure safety of operation personnel. When considering the number of people left behind, it is important to make appropriate assumptions about the operating status of drainage facilities. The study on the number of people left behind has revealed that if drainage facilities are rendered inoperable and rescue activities are not carried out by the police, fire departments or the Self-Defense Forces, several hundred thousand people will be isolated for a period of several weeks. The study has revealed that in cases where rescue activities are carried out, rescue will be completed in 14 days after a levee breach if drainage facilities are rendered inoperable or in four days if drainage facilities that have not been flooded can be operated.
Figure: Number of people left behind
- An analysis of inundation damage caused by levee breach induced flooding of the Ara River taking into consideration the networks of subway and other tunnels has revealed that underground malls and building basements may be inundated through tunnels even when the ground surface is not inundated, and that subway and other tunnels may be inundated earlier than the ground surface.

RCI returns as title sponsor of Christel House Open
For the 13th year in a row, RCI will be the title sponsor of the annual RCI Christel House Open International Charity Golf Tournament.
The tournament will feature several locations across Europe and North America, which aims to raise awareness and funds for Christel House International (CHI), a charity committed to bettering the lives of impoverished children around the world.
Olivier Chavy, president of RCI, said: "Supporting our communities is one of the core values that makes up our DNA as an organisation.
"Year after year, the Christel House Open directly supports efforts to end the cycle of poverty for disadvantaged children all over the world and I am extremely proud that in my first few months as president of RCI, I have the opportunity to be involved and reinforce our continued commitment.
"We are thankful to all who continue to contribute in support of this tremendous cause."
The Christel House Open kicks off Thursday 9 May, in Indianapolis, Ind., and continues through June in the following locations:
- Saturday 18 May in Palm Beach, Fla.
- Saturday 1 June in Boonville, N.Y.
- Monday 10 June in Kissimmee, Fla., Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Williamsburg, Va.
- Monday 17 June in Vista, Calif., and Badgemore Park Golf Club, Henley On Thames, UK
- Branson, Mo. (date TBA)
Since its start in 2003, the tournament has raised more than $12 million, with 100 per cent of the proceeds used for programmes and services directly impacting children.
All tournaments are hosted by timeshare companies and the sponsors and players are timeshare developers, vendors, and management companies.
Christel DeHaan, founder of Christel House International, retired as CEO of the organisation in 2018. DeHaan also co-founded RCI in 1974. Former Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson took over as CEO at the start of 2019.
Peterson said: "I am looking forward to being part of the RCI Christel House Open for the first time this year. I know that it is an important and popular annual tradition within the timeshare industry, thanks in large part to our friends at RCI.
"From their pivotal role in the launch of the tournament in 2003, to serving as the title sponsor for over a decade, RCI has been integral in helping us raise over $12 million throughout the tournament's history. Those funds have had an enormous impact on our work to transform the lives of impoverished children though the Christel House model, and we are truly grateful."
Established in 1998, CHI is a non-profit organisation that builds and operates learning centers in impoverished neighborhoods around the globe.
The charity's primary goal is to create sustainable social and educational impact through an approach that includes quality education, nutritious meals, regular healthcare, life skills training, character development, and college and career opportunities, as well as empowerment programmes for parents and community members.
CHI currently aids over 5,100 students at its learning centers in the US, Mexico, India and South Africa. The newest school, Christel House Jamaica, is scheduled to open in August 2020.

Consumer protection or curb on right to speech and expression?

Can "civil" society also reform the state?
-writing from Harvard Law School. Over the last few months, people have either whole-heartedly supported Ana Hazare's crusade against corruption, or have cautioned against the dangers of un-deliberated actions by civil society.

How well are major government schemes working?
The background to this post comes in the realisation that though the government has launched big ticket "social-welfare" schemes in the last decade or so, the government should not merely be throwing money at problems existing in our society.

Here's a rule in today's ever-changing TV landscape: Big hits are very hard to come by.
Here's another: Netflix only rarely cancels shows.
On Monday, however, the streaming service said that it was pulling the plug on "Marco Polo," its pricey 13th-century drama about the Mongol empire, after only two seasons.
Despite devoting billions to original programming, introducing dozens of new TV shows, Netflix has been reluctant to cancel its offerings. It previously pulled "Lilyhammer" and "Hemlock Grove," and announced in September that "Bloodline'' would not be returning. Those shows, however, lasted three seasons; "Marco Polo" will not.
Netflix — along with the other streaming services like Amazon and Hulu — does not disclose ratings, so it's difficult to know just how poorly "Marco Polo" fared. But reviews for the series were unkind, and there has been next to no cultural excitement surrounding it.
And the series was costly. Originally developed for the cable channel Starz, it was produced by the Weinstein Company, whose co-chairman, Harvey Weinstein, once boasted that it would be "one of the most expensive shows ever done for pay TV."
As costs escalated, the series moved over to Netflix, and the production was indeed lavish. With an estimated budget of at least $180 million over two years, the series was filmed in far-flung locations like Italy, Kazakhstan and Malaysia, and received an extensive marketing campaign.
In a statement, Mr. Weinstein said: "Netflix has been incredible to give us the room to make a series with a cast true to every principle of diversity. It's a bold network that allows you to do that and support us in the way that Netflix did."
In the four years that Netflix has been streaming original shows, the service has been in a historic buildup mode that has it outspending every competitor, including HBO and Amazon. Netflix said in October it would spend $6 billion on content in 2017, much of it on original programming.
When Netflix landed shows like the Aziz Ansari comedy "Master of None" and the period drama "The Crown," FX's chief executive John Landgraf said that the streaming service overwhelmed them with "shock and awe levels of money and commitment" for both projects.
But the "Marco Polo" cancellation may be a sign that Netflix will become more selective about endlessly devoting resources to original series. The streaming service has not committed to a second season for its pricey show "The Get Down" (the second half of its first season will debut next year). And it's unclear how projects like the Chelsea Handler talk show are doing.
The streaming service said that it does not disclose ratings because it works on a subscription model, and does not sell advertising to adults under the age of 50, as most TV networks do.
Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said earlier this year that "if we were spending a lot of money on shows that people weren't watching" then subscribers would drop the service.
The service has more than 86 million subscribers worldwide.
Netflix did get some good news on Monday: Both "The Crown" and "Stranger Things" were nominated for the best drama Golden Globe, filling two of the five nominee slots. Though Netflix series like "House of Cards" and "Orange Is the New Black" have garnered numerous nominations, the streaming service is still looking for its first Globe or Emmy for best drama or best comedy.

Doctor Who Story 090 – The Robots of Death
Written By: Chris Boucher
What's It About: The Doctor and Leela arrive on a sandminer in the midst of its tour. The miner is operated by robots that are overseen by a skeleton crew of humans. But when one of the humans is found dead, the crew suspects the two newcomers.
After being disappointed by the Boucher-penned The Face of Evil, I was worried that I would The Robots of Death would no longer seem enjoyable. Thankfully, I was wrong. I think this story is a lot of fun. It has great dialogue ("Please do not throw hands at me."); it has an imaginative art-deco-sci-fi look; the story is a good play on Agatha Christie whodunnits (a murderer who uses robots as his murder weapon); and the robots are generally well played (the voices are great). I truly enjoy the Agatha Christie aspect of this story. The first few minutes establish the world of this story, but they also provide important clues to the identity of the murderer. And you can easily deduce the murderer if you pay close attention to the costumes.
This isn't a perfect story, however. Zilda, an important character for establishing a significant red herring, is appallingly performed. The robot revolution and Taren Capel should have been established earlier in the story, possibly with a brief mention during the initial lounge scene. Likewise, some mention of robophobia earlier in the story would have made Poul's breakdown less random. As it stands, robophobia is only hinted at a scene or two before Poul has his breakdown; this seems too sudden. And, of course, the ending is rushed. A slightly longer denouement would have been nice. But these are just the imperfections on this story. This is one of the highlights of the Hinchcliffe/Holmes era, and I enjoy it more and more with each viewing.
My Rating: 4/5

The word "foam dance party" is actually confusing to numerous people. What exactly is it? Why would someone wish to accomplish play in foam? Where are you able to locate one?
A foam dance party could be simple with foam flowing from a piece of equipment to your backyard. You may also retain the foam within an inflatable pit or get really elaborate and add black lights disco balls and loud music. And when you question why everybody likes them? Keep in mind how fun it had been to experience inside a bubble bath whenever you were a young child. After which multiply that feeling over and over. It's not only fun to stay in the froth…but watching the bubbles float up with the sky's an entertaining experience.
Previously you could discover foam dance parties at colleges but they're becoming a lot more popular every year for that average backyard party. Obviously there will always be lots of questions when the topic of the froth party pops up. I'll attempt to answer a number of them here:
The froth is really a niche foam even though you can really use baby shampoo without having foam available.
Foam Machines and Pits are available at Niche Party Rental Companies
If you are much more of a do it yourself type person….you'll find instructions for building your personal foam machine on the web. They're quite simple to create.
Not a chance…you are not said to be naked. Clothes are good!
Foam parties could work for everyone. You are able to adjust the quantity of foam that's filling the region to meet the requirements of the visitors.
Generally you will want to have your event outdoors as well as for safety's sake you will need a place that is not slippery when it is wet. Some inflatable foam pits have vinyl bottoms but many are simply inflatable retaining walls.
Should you rent equipment the price for that parties generally runs from $300-$2000.00 with respect to the quantity of foam needed and the amount of time for the event. This season you'll most likely see foam parties at Company Picnics, Kids Birthday Parties, College Occasions, Fundraiser parties and festivals.

Product Description
About The Plant
Also known as 'teaberry' and 'checkerberry', Wintergreen is a small evergreen herb that grows up to 15 centimeters tall in the northeastern regions of Canada and forests of the USA. In late spring the plant forms small white flowers. In summer red cherry-shaped berries grow and last until the following spring.
About The Oil
Wintergreen essential oil is derived by water distillation of the leaves of Gaultheria procumbens. Prior to distillation, the leaves are exposed to an enzymatic action in warm water. During this process, methyl salicylate is formed as a decomposition product from a glycoside in the plant material.
The main constituent found in Wintergreen oils is methyl salicylate at nearly 100%. Most commercial Wintergreen oils are not the essential oil at all, but synthetic methyl salicylate.
Wintergreen essential oil has been used interchangeably with sweet birch oil, both being made up almost exclusively of methyl salicylate.
Of Interest
Traditionally Wintergreen leaves were chewed by the natives of the Americas in order to increase lung capacity and assist in healing respiratory conditions. Early settlers chewed on Wintergreen to help reduces tooth decay. The dried leaf and stem remain current in the British Herbal Pharma-copoeia.

Choosing to Bank Local: What's In It For You?
If you're alive and kicking in 2018, chances are you've heard of the going local movement. You've seen the commercials and the decals proudly displayed on storefront windows, but what does going local mean for you? Why should you make the switch to a local credit union? Let's break it down.
You're probably paying more and getting less at your big bank.
Banking at a credit union works just like banking at any big bank. You have your checking accounts, savings accounts, you can apply for auto and home loans, credit cards, refinance and more, but credit unions are unique by design. Because credit unions are member-owned and not-for-profit, credit unions return any profit back to its members in the form of better rates on loans, better interest rates on savings, better terms on credit cards and fewer or no fees on services.
In 2016, an NCUA report showed that the average interest rate for a 60 month car loan at a bank was 4.72% APR while credit unions had an average of 2.70% APR on the same loan. If you took out a $25,000 loan, choosing a credit union could save you $1,300 on interest over 60 months.
Credit unions get you, when big banks don't.
Applying for a loan can be a pretty daunting task, especially if you really need it and you're not sure if you'll be approved. While a big bank leaves most of their loan approval decisions to computer algorithms, credit unions often take into consideration other factors in an individual's life when making a determination on approval. Locally-owned financial institutions like credit unions, have the exceptional ability to create stronger bonds with the community, thus, having a better understanding of the wants and needs of the people they serve. The not-for-profit factor in credit unions really puts an emphasis on what's best for you, not them.
Your home is their home.
Credit unions, like Hughes, understand that their success lies in the health and prosperity of their communities which is why they are so heavily invested in helping improve the financial lives of the people in their area. Whether it's through generous sponsorships to local organizations and institutions or empowering youth through financial education, credit unions give back with an aim in improving your backyard because it's theirs too.
Your money goes where you go.
You might be thinking, "Credit unions sound great, but I need access to my money when I'm not home." Choosing to bank at a credit union like Hughes, doesn't mean you don't have access to your money when you travel. Through the CO-OP Shared Branch and ATM Network, credit unions like Hughes actually offer its members access to over 5,000 shared branches and nearly 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs. But is there an app for that? Yep! Hughes lets you bank when and where you want, giving you access to your money anytime with online banking and mobile banking.
Now that you know what's in it for you, are you ready to bank local? Simple and seamless. You could join Hughes Federal Credit Union and start getting more with your money today. Visit HughesFCU.org/Switch to make the move.

Parrot porn
A wheatear-less day yesterday, but there'll be more. Monday there were still 2 birds, down to 1 on Tuesday. Not surprisingly the Stonechat had moved on overnight Sunday, I might have to wait till the autumn to catch up with one of these.
So I had to make do with some migrant action in the form of new Chiffchaff, "new" Blackcap, and Parrot co-joining in west copse (news just in that Bucks Mike might have seen a Little Owl disappearing into this copse today - Thursday - too late to organise a massive twitch).
The Parakeets were doing it again in west copse, the only acceptable form of co-joining permited in our woods thankyou.
2 Peregrine have been seen circling over the flats scaring the remaining gulls - most of the Black-headed gulls appear to have moved on, though there are still reasonably numbers of Common - one with a feather missing out of its wing, the other an apparent first winter bird.
I was convinced I had a Willow Warbler calling from the east end of Alex in rat wood. I put some time into tracking the elusive little bugger. Sounded good, had pale legs, but the wise heads aren't convinced it being so early and all.
There were 2 Chiffies close by so comparisons could be made. I think I'll get another one soon, so no tantrums. As it happens some git on the London Wiki deleted my entries again yesterday, so I don't imagine a small warbler tick frenzy.
Jono has just called to say that a pair of Great crested Grebe are prospecting and nest building on the Basin, while the other two singletons await their dates on Perch and Heronry respectively.
Steve got the Mandarin again in the fortifications, but otherwise Teal are hiding out in the Park only and Gadwall numbers are way down.
A mattress turned up on the shores of Alex, Mango were seen bobbing up and down on the river, and an overshoot deck-chair put in appearance north of west copse. I had an anglers chair on the side of the model aircraft field so its shaping up to be an interesting Spring.

United States District Court, D. South Dakota, Central Division
October 7, 2014
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.MARY PENEAUX, Defendant
For Mary Peneaux, Defendant: Randall Briggs Turner, LEAD ATTORNEY, Federal Public Defender's Office, Pierre, SD.
For USA, Plaintiff: Jay P. Miller, LEAD ATTORNEY, U.S. Attorney's Office, Pierre, SD.
Page 765
At the pretrial conference and motion hearing held on October 6, 2014, this Court heard argument on the pending motions in limine and made preliminary rulings thereon. Ruling on motions in limine are preliminary in nature, and presentation of evidence at trial may open evidentiary doors that appear to be closed when viewing the case before trial. This Opinion and Order provides the Court's reasoning for its rulings.
This is an arson case, where the Government charges that Defendant Mary Peneaux willfully and maliciously burned the Spotted Tail home on March 23, 2013. Peneaux has pleaded not guilty, contends that the fire should be classified as undetermined rather than incendiary, and posits that the fire was accidentally started by Brian Metcalf, a resident of the Spotted Tail home, who allegedly was cooking while highly intoxicated.
Peneaux's first Motion in Limine, Doc. 31, seeks to prohibit that, when she was a teenager dating Richard Spotted Tail, she burned her name into the ceiling of Richard's bedroom within the Spotted Tail home. The fire alleged to be arson occurred when Peneaux was 24. The Government's theory of the case is that Peneaux on March 23, 2013, was trying to rekindle a romantic relationship with Richard, was drinking with him that night, was spurned in her efforts to reconcile with Richard, and lit his bed on fire using an open flame after Richard left her. The Government asserts that it expects Richard to testify that, before he left Peneaux in his bedroom, the two of them talked about Peneaux's burned name on his bedroom ceiling and thus that the burned name is part of the res gestae of the case. The admissibility of evidence of Peneaux's charred name on the bedroom ceiling turns on whether Richard testifies about discussing it with Peneaux on the night of the alleged arson. If the burned name was not something discussed between Richard and Peneaux on the night of the fire, the act is inadmissible under Rule 404 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. If Richard so testifies, then the burned name on the ceiling is admissible as part of the res gestae. See United States v. Thomas, 760 F.3d 879, 883 (8th Cir. 2014) (explaining that Rule 404(b) does not apply to res gestae, or intrinsic evidence); United States v. Young, 753 F.3d 757 (8th Cir. 2014) (stating that res gestae evidence is admissible because it " completes the story or provides a total picture of the charged crime" ) (citation omitted). Peneaux then would be allowed to present evidence that others had written their names in various ways on that bedroom ceiling and the circumstances surrounding her charring her name into the ceiling many years previously.
The Government's Motion in Limine, Doc. 37, seeks to exclude testimony from Brian Metcalf's former girlfriend and the sister of the former girlfriend that Metcalf on previous occasions cooked while intoxicated producing lots of smoke, that Metcalf three years ago lit hay bales on fire, and that Metcalf had passed out previously with a cigarette in his hand. Peneaux
Page 766
does not contend that Metcalf started the fire intentionally or by passing out with a cigarette in his hand, but posits that Metcalf may have started the fire in the kitchen while cooking.
As a general rule, a defendant may attempt to show that someone else committed the crime with which the defendant is charged. See Holmes v. South Carolina, 547 U.S. 319, 327, 126 S.Ct. 1727, 164 L.Ed.2d 503 (2006) (" Evidence tending to show the commission by another person of the crime charged may be introduced by accused when it is inconsistent with, and raises a reasonable doubt of, his own guilt; but frequently matters offered in evidence for this purpose are so remote and lack such connection with the crime that they are excluded." (quoting 41 C.J.S. Homicide § 216 (1991))). Here, Peneaux contends that evidence about Metcalf having burned food while drunk in the past is admissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 404(a)(2)(B) and 404(b).
Rule 404(a)(2)(B) provides that a defendant in a criminal case " may offer evidence of an alleged victim's pertinent trait." If the defendant offers evidence of the victim's character, it must be in the form of reputation or opinion testimony. Fed.R.Evid. 405(a). Specific acts may be used to prove character only if the character trait at issue is an essential element of a charge or defense. Id. 405(b). Although it is not entirely clear, it appears from reading Peneaux's response to the Government's motion in limine that she will be seeking to offer testimony describing specific instances when Metcalf got drunk and burned food. Thus, even assuming that getting drunk and burning food is a " trait," testimony about specific instances of Metcalf's trait is not admissible under Rule 405 because it is not an essential element of the charge or Peneaux's defense. Rather, evidence about Metcalf's character trait is circumstantial evidence Peneaux hopes to use to prove a consequential fact.
Rule 404(b)(2) provides that evidence of crimes, wrongs, or other bad acts may be admissible in a criminal case to prove " motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident." [1] Although the prosecution frequently uses Rule 404(b) to introduce " other crimes" evidence against a defendant, " a seldomly used subspecies of Rule 404(b) known as 'reverse 404(b)' . . . is utilized to exonerate defendants." [2]United States v. Stevens,935 F.2d 1380, 1383, 1402 (3d Cir. 1991). When determining whether to admit reverse 404(b) evidence, " a district court must balance the evidence's probative ...

text: I've had this blog up and running for about 18 months, and have so far managed to make two posts (make this three!). It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I've been very busy working. I had a realisation this morning, however. A lot of the stuff I am learning is hard to find information on. Specifically, .NET MVC, Entity Framework and things like Object Queries etc. I figure when I eventually do work out the answer, It'd probably be useful to other people looking to solve the same problem. So (hopefully) from now on, when I solve a tricky problem. I will take a few minutes to do up a blog post about my findings. Hopefully others that are out there crawling the web looking for answers may find some help here.

Fabulous 8.6 From 325 reviews
I never but two nights in a row if I don't know the hotel well I stayed 3 nights glad I did love the place love the staff!
A wonderful stay in the heart of Bastille A very warm welcome and friendly service throughout. We would have loved to stay longer!
I think if you are looking for a boutique hotel in the Bastille area of Paris, then Albe should be your first choice! Friendly staff, clean, neat, above par condition.
Very helpful staff & nice friendly welcome. Good, clean room.
Perfectly adequate for the price. The room was very small, but that's to be expected. The only real complaint I have, and it's not a big one, is that there isn't enough protection from shower spray in the bathroom. When you take a shower, expect a whole bathroom to get wet. Still, it was clean and quiet.

Recycled jeans
Clearing out my sewing room had the desired effect. I felt the pull of the sewing machine and spent a couple of hours converting an old pair of jeans into a bag!
I cut off the legs, then cut up the curve of the crotch seam a little way so that it will lie flat. Then I just sew across the opening.
I make a rough estimate of how big the lining needs to be and cut two rectangles of fabric - the important thing is for the top edge to be at least as wide as the waistband of the jeans, if not a little bigger. Too small and you're in trouble!
Sew the lining pieces together, put them inside the jean bag, and handsew around the top edges (I tried machine sewing the lining in once before, but denim is thick and you have the belt loops as hurdles too). The beauty is that you don't need to neaten off your seams as they are all enclosed.
The handle was a bit of an afterthought ... it was obvious from the mistakes I made in the process of making this bag that my skills are rusty. Ideally, the ends of the handles would have been hidden between the denim and the lining, but I added them on afterwards so I handsewed them on the outside.
As a little extra, I made a small bag from a pocket cut from a different pair of jeans. I liked that this pocket had a button down flap, so I cut around it, leaving about an inch of denim, then backed it with the lining fabric.
Do you have any more ideas of what I could make from that big pile of jeans?
I made this quilt a few years ago - I even incorporated a patch with a pocket in it that can hold a remote control!

I have a wonderful denim book cover that I bought at Value Village (someone did a beautiful job sewing it). It is nice to be able to read a book at one of my kids' many appointments without everyone in the office knowing what I am reading.... not that I read anything WILD(??), but sometimes they are personal :)
Just a thought....

Wow Nicola, you've been busy. Makes me think I should get my room organized too. Love the fabric you used for the lining.
Now, do you want to know as much as I want to, what Rebecca is reading? I'm thinking we should go to her for book suggestions.

Hi Nicola, these jeans bags were popular when I was a young teen back in the mid 1970s, it is great and reminds me of how great it was growing up. They were all the rage in the teen magazines, the cover girl and the girl in the photo story would always be carrying one of these. I enlarged your photo to look at the lining, I love the fabric. One of your best creations to date. x

The Amicus Botanicus Exhibition "Plants for Life" London 2008
The first Amicus Botanicus exhibition was held in London in October 2008. It was opened by Roy Lancaster OBE VMH F.I.Hort and the evening was enjoyed by both the artists and visitors alike. The artists had generously agreed to give a percentage of sales to Marie Curie Cancer Care. Each artist also contributed a painting for the 'Plants For Life' collection, which has now been donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care to help with future fund raising.
Some comments from the visitors book:
"What an inspired show, so varied in choice of plants and styles of painting. wonderful."
"The Amicus Botanicus exhibition was an absolute delight. That your group of painters brought together skills, interests, vision and energies, and then had the vision and commitment to plan the exhibition, I found most inspiring."
Special thanks to Ritchie Beacham-Paterson for the event photography.

03/07/15 – Miss Fleur
It has been a while since we updated you on beautiful Miss Fleur mainly because there is not too much that is new to tell. We have been continuing getting her used to be handled by different people and she is responding really well to this. Catching and grooming her is no longer a problem, she is happy to have her front feet lifted for longer periods of time which makes working on them much easier. We have also started teaching her to bring her foot forward onto a hoof stand. This has been really slow going though as she has a tendency to panic when her foot is lifted forward. It is going to be great though when she happily accepts the hoof stand as then we really will be able to make great progress on her front feet. We have also been spending a lot of time around her back end, brushing her tail and down her back legs but sadly we still haven't made any progress on her back feet. When we had Fleur assessed to see if it was physical problem that was stopping her from being able to support herself on one hind foot, it was noted that she had muscle injuries consistent of having her hind feet tied up. Whilst physically there is no reason why she shouldn't be able to lift her hind feet, mentally there is. Fleurs back feet are in serious need of attention, the last time we where able to work on them was whilst she was heavily sedated, with the help of 4 people hanging on to her, it was not ideal and not something we would like Fleur to have to endure again. If anyone out there has had experience of this kind of challenge and successfully overcome it, we would really love to hear from you.

I'm an Ottawa Valley girl who grew up a short drive away from the Douglas Tavern in Douglas, Ontario—the undisputed epicentre of St. Paddy's Day celebrations.
I remember the Douglas Tavern, affectionately known as "the Diddley", as the place to which wayward students disappeared when playing hooky from my high school. The "Ladies and Escorts" sign still hangs outside the door—as a nod to history, not as a means of enforcement. The tavern has sticky floors, pickled eggs behind the bar and a permanent stale beer smell.
On St. Patrick's Day people dressed in Leprechaun-green cram into every corner and belt out "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." The crowd overflows to the streets, so the entire community is taken over by shamrock-crazed partiers.
It's not high-brow entertainment, mind you, but a gathering of more honest, open-hearted people you will never find.
Not too far from Douglas, life in Mount St. Patrick comes to a virtual stop to make way for the green beer and fiddle music party that celebrates the man for whom the small community is named.
The combination of my English/Irish ancestry and Ottawa Valley heritage means that I celebrate on March 17 with hearty stew, a glass of ale, and a tip of the hat to my ancestors. who had a hard knock life of drudgery making it on unforgiving Canadian terrain. Many times I have done so in Douglas or in Mount St. Patrick, but many more times my celebrations occurred in other far-flung places. But no matter whether I was in Mexico on a student exchange, in Windsor at university, on March Break vacations at Mont Ste. Anne, QC, Whistler, BC, Lake Louise, AB, or Florida, a little piece of my soul was always back in the Ottawa Valley on St. Patrick's Day.
Given his hard life, I think St. Patrick would have enjoyed a hearty stew and a glass of ale. Given the hard work my ancestors faced carving their farms out of the rocky Ottawa Valley landscape, I think they too would have tucked into a bowl of hot stew with ravenous gratitude. (I'm not sure about the ale, though; there were a number of teetotalers in recent generations.)
My stew is in the slow cooker, the ale is chilling in the fridge, and the green shamrock cookies are ready for dessert. Now, I must go dig out the fiddle music.
When I sing, a little corner of my soul will be in the Ottawa Valley.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
