Seaside towns have a bad reputation: think Blackpool, Bridlington, Rhyl, Great Yarmouth, Hastings. Seasonal tourism, low paid jobs and a poor transport infrastructure, generally.
We moved to Gorleston, a major town, south of Great Yarmouth, 11 years ago and have since moved to Bradwell, a generally modern suburb, and I feel like it's home now. People in Norwich get a bit sniffy about the place, but there is lots to recommend it, apart from just the climate, so here goes.
No word of a lie, but the beaches here are as good as any in Britain. Perhaps. Gorleston beach stretches for miles and the ground has few pebbles and the sea has a handy shelf you can happily wade into without being submerged. Admittedly 11 years ago, we swam in it, come rain or shine and now, never, but you get my point? It's a town that is so on the way up that Danny Boyle, no less, filmed his Beatles movie here from the Pier Hotel.
No matter how often I walk along the beach or promenades, I never tire of it. Been wonderful for our physical health too after the dreadful air pollution of living near Scunthorpe.
Great Yarmouth beach is no slouch either and has its own dunes, piers and golden mile of amusements, with terrific historical resonance. The Barrack estate housed Napoleon's troops. Queen Victoria was a regular visitor here and Dickens set parts of "David Copperfield" here. There's blue plaques aplenty with a 13th century gaol, some superb museums and two theme parks, with listed attractions – the Snails at Joyland and the wooden rollercoaster on the Pleasure Beach.
Horsey Gap, Caister, Winterton and Hopton all have fine beaches too.
They're one of the reasons why, when I get itchy feet, to move, I stop and think of what we'd leave behind.
Bearing in mind, I've lived in crime-ridden places like Oldham and Bolton, Norfolk is Edenic in comparison. Never been the victim of a crime in 11 years here – it feels and is safe. My home insurance and car insurance testify to that too, so it's not apocryphal.
Winters tend to be mild and short in duration with sunshine and dryness stretching from March to early November. Rain is rare too. As is snow. When I look north for relocation, I do ponder rain and light levels, as I used to suffer from SAD in other areas, until we headed east.
The area is largely dominated by tourism and the off-shore industry. The cost of property in Great Yarmouth is relatively affordable compared with the south east but rises inexorably as you head to Norwich or north Norfolk, where average prices in places like Cley and Blakeney exceed £1 million. Wages are low here though (apart from offshore) and seasonal. The town and borough is definitely deprived, and could do with massive investment for local employment with higher wages. It's perhaps why the term "web designers Great Yarmouth" or "freelance web designer Great Yarmouth" has such low search volumes, yet Norwich, just 35 minutes away, has huge search volumes for "web design Norwich" and competition.
I do like living here though. The beaches and climate are brilliant. The road network and infrastructure pretty poor, but I'm beginning, for the first time since moving, to see it as home.
Given my predilection for serial relocating, 11 years in Great Yarmouth is a Personal Best.
I am now happily anchored here.

The Original Meaning of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," Part I
Originalism's Legal Turn as a Libertarian Turn
Berman and Toh on the New and Old Originalism: Part II – The Old Originalism
(This three part post addresses the new article on Originalism by Berman and Toh. In my first post on this article, I argued that the New Originalism is not primarily concerned with theories of law. Here I move on to Berman and Toh's discussion of the old originalism.)
Berman and Toh also claim that the old originalists were mainly concerned with theories of adjudication rather than theories of law. Berman and Toh assert that Bork, Meese and Scalia are all focused on constraining judges rather than about the law.
But this claim is also problematic. To begin, Berman and Toh admit that Raoul Berger – perhaps the oldest of the old originalists – had a theory of law. But Bork also (in the Tempting of America) argued that the Constitution was law (and therefore could only be changed by legal procedures). In fact, that might have been his principal argument.
Even Meese in a short speech to which Berman and Tod refer, founds his argument on the fact that the Constitution is law. It is true that he uses that as an argument for why judges are bound by that law, but the basis of his argument is that the Constitution is law.
In addition, old originalist Lino Graglia also has a theory of the Constitution as law, as Berman and Toh admit.

Actor and comedian Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Funny Face, says he was assaulted by a police officer while on set.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Funny Face was seen leaving a movie set after the police had come to halt the shoot.
The assault took place, Sunday, July 21, at Kasoa while the actor was on set of his new series Kasoa Trotro, dedicated to educating Ghanaians on sanitation and road safety.
In an interview on Cosmopolitan Mix on Joy FM, Monday, he said the police held him by the waistband for over 15 minutes and kept saying "I will show you".
According to Funny Face, the policeman claimed he came to halt the movie shoot because people stood in the streets shouting the actor's name which was obstructing traffic.
He told Mamavi Owusu-Aboagye, host of the show, he had agreed to leave the set because he did not want to cause any trouble or be disgraced.
"At first I thought he was joking, but just as we were about to leave he insulted me, called me foolish," he claimed.
Funny Face stated, he only let go when the people showed their displeasure at the way he was being treated.
The comedian, however, admitted, he did not have a permit to shoot under the Kasoa overpass and that was why he agreed with the police order only to find himself being held "like a criminal when I had not done anything wrong."
Although he had initially wanted to press charges, Funny Face said he had been advised against taking such an action.
"When everybody is saying stop and you don't, you become the bad person," he explained.
Funny Face added, "there are good policemen in this country no doubt, but some like him, make the uniform and the job look bad. The bad nuts always spoil everything."
Meanwhile, the Cosmopolitan team on seeing the video of assault reported the issue to the Central Regional Police who have agreed to investigate the matter.

Three months and counting. Soz to all the people waiting in line to date me.
It's only fitting that after a stellar Wrestlemania 31, that I make this not-so-subtle wrestling reference: IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAAAAAME. But, in relationships and dating, it is not time to play the game. Ever.
Meet Tiffany*. She is a bright, bubbly and beautiful young woman who has met a handsome, funny guy named Derek*. They're both into each other and they are both aware that the other feels the same way. Except Tiffany feels the need to plan and schedule every interaction she has with him.
Tiffany gets a text from Derek asking her how her day was. The logical thing to do? Tell Derek how her day has been. But no, Tiffany would rather wait half an hour and then reply, but purposely make it sound as if her day was better than it was so Derek thinks she has a really fabulous life. That is, of course, if she does text him back, because she doesn't wanna sound too needy.
Nope. Tiffany has decided to play it cool, and she tells Derek she just came back from a date with "Josh". Now she thinks Derek will know other guys want her, and that'll force him to make it official between the two before it's too late.
Wrong. Thinking Tiffany is intereted in "Josh" more than himself, Derek gives up on Tiffany and moves his attention to another beautiful girl, and Tiffany's hopes and dreams are dashed.
Many people make these errors that Tiffany has made; they feel as if they have to play these "games" in order to get what they want, or to not seem a certain way, or for no apparent reason at all. Too many times have I heard something along the line of "I have to wait an hour before I reply to him" or "I'll start flirting with one of her friends to make her jealous". What you don't realise is that you're playing a game of chance here, and while your intended outcome may come true, the same could be said about the completely opposite outcome, and you could wind up bitter and alone because you decided to go with "logic" instead of what you truly feel.
If you think it's too crazy to reply to someone straight away, get over yourself. Just do it. No one but yourself is holding you back from typing in a quick message and tapping "Send". In fact, I can sure as hell testify that I would much prefer a reply as soon as possible as opposed to one that's been timed out and planned. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Think of it this way: if you are hungry, you'd go and grab something to eat to quench that hunger, right? Well, if you want to see someone, why are you stopping yourself from doing so "just in case"? You wouldn't grab a sandwich and be like "Oh, people will think I'm fat if I eat this despite being really hungry, so I guess I'll just leave it". Why are you doing that to your love life? You're essentially blocking your love life from eating a bloody sandwich when it's hungry. For shame! FOR ABSOLUTE SHAME.
My point is this: do what you feel like, regardless of the consequences. Don't think about the destination; focus on the journey. It's a more open, honest way of communication with your desired loved one and we all know and can appreciate that honesty and trust are two of the best things that a true relationship can have.
Don't play these games anymore. The only games you should be playing are on Playstation or Xbox or Nintendo. Or PC. Or any other video gaming console I may have forgotten to mention.
Now if you'll excuse me, all this talk about bloody sandwiches has made me want a sandwich.
Happy dating everyone!

Richard Cullen, Technical Lead and Joint MD at bluebox, uses his recent attendance at Microsoft's 'Leading Transformation with AI' event to reflect on how small business can harness the power of AI.
Last week I was privileged to attend Microsoft's invite-only event for senior leaders 'Leading Transformation with AI'. One of the highlights was the keynote speech by Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella who spoke about Microsoft's innovations in the field.
Reflecting on Satya's speech and the event as a whole has helped me shape some ideas around the future of digital technology and, more specifically, the increasing power of artificially intelligent systems.
In this article I explore some of the key takeaways from the event and, in particular, how AI can benefit smaller businesses and organisations.
"Every walk of life is being fundamentally shaped by digital technology. It's happening in our homes, in our work, in our places of entertainment – and in every industry from precision agriculture to precision medicine. At Microsoft, we want to build trust, not just at a technology level, but at a business model level, in a world where every business is a digital business."
Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO
Microsoft and key partners were quick to dismiss doomsday tabloid appraisals of AI turning on its creators, at least for a while. They were keen to stress that we are still four to five major breakthroughs from anything close to such a scenario.
Momentum is picking up however; Industry and healthcare sectors are already benefiting from the increase of AI technology. Real-world examples demonstrated on the day included;
These examples are being utilised by organisations right now. Continual research has helped push forward the possibilities but it is more recent breakthroughs in three key areas that are starting to spawn widespread use of the technology: -
The last few years have seen the above areas align, removing the barriers that held back the technology. Prior to this, practical applications would often fall short - perhaps not enough data was available, algorithmic calculations not advanced enough or simply the power to compute was not sufficient.
There is no doubt that the benefits to medical research, corporate enterprise and consumer-led products (e.g. conversational applicances such as Amazon Alexa) will clearly make an early impact. But what about SME applications? How can smaller organisations take advantage of this technology?
If you utilise Office 365 or Google Suite, it may surprise you how much AI is already in place. Email filters are a great example, utilising the pattern recognition of neural networks to help identify spam correspondence and viruses. Digital assistants can examine diaries to arrange meetings on behalf of attendees. Here at bluebox we make use of Microsoft Cortana to arrange internal meetings without needing to check everyone's availability, a simple one line request will trigger Cortana to do all the hard work and inform the organiser when a suitable date and time has been booked.
As a bespoke software development company we are starting to take advantage of technology such as bots, conversational AI and cloud architecture in the projects we deliver for clients. If you think this sounds a little far-fetched for your business, try these examples which are all possible with today's more affordable AI tools: -
We will be attending an event at Microsoft HQ in the coming weeks where we will be looking gain further insight into the Azure platform and the AI tools available both now and on their roadmap. There will be a follow up article after the event but in the meantime, if you would like to discuss a project you have in the pipeline, please get in touch to see if we can assist.

Steering Box Bonanza
Entry posted by Simeon ·
1,289 views
When I rebuilt my front suspension, I noticed that the steering box adjustment was pretty much all in. The adjustment screw was almost flush with the top of the lock nut. Since I have a right hand drive, I thought that I had better make a start in finding a replacement since they are no where near as common as left hand drive versions. The right hand drive steering box is a direct mirror image to the left hand drive. The machined worm gear spiral actually runs in the opposite direction as well - I can't believe that BMW didn't just arrange the same steering box on the opposite side of the car rather than get ZF to make an exact mirror copy.
After posting a 'want to buy' on the UK board and Australian Facebook, I struck lucky with a good box from the UK with lots of adjustment left and a smooth action. This was bought for a quite unreasonable sum (plus shipping) and sent to Adelaide. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of planning an interstate move and a 9 week tour with a camper trailer, so I had little choice but to pack the new steering box and ship it on to Sydney where we were moving to.
The (fast) drive from Adelaide to Sydney in my car reinforced to me the need to get the steering box changed out. While less noticeable when puttering about town, sweeping bends at 80mph we're a bit unnerving as I waited for the steering to catch up with the input I had just given it. The rest of the suspension (all new) has performed well but the steering had some room for improvement.
I got a seal kit from Walloth & Nesch which also comes with a paper gasket, a new pitman arm nut and a tabbed lock washer. I know that I could get the seals individually for a lot cheaper from a bearing / seal supplier based on the dimensions on the seals but I saw the benefit of getting a complete kit. The pitman arm came off first, I used a puller and some judicious application of heat from a MAPP torch after spinning off the nut with my long breaker bar. The arm wound off with no dramas once the heat had expanded it and it lost its grip on the shaft. The box came apart easily, revealing the worm gear and sector rollers as perfect, no galling or obvious wear. The ball bearing cages were intact and no obvious wear on the races or balls. The shims were scrubbed clean with a scotchbrite pad. The housing was cleaned up and given a coat of 'silver galv' paint before the new seals were gently tapped into place with suitably sized sockets. The marks on the shaft were aligned with the marks on the case and then the box was reassembled. 300ml of clean SAE 90 oil was added and the box worked back and forth a bit to distribute around the bearings.
Removing the old box was relatively straightforward, though I did elect to remove the whole drag link and steering idler so that I could get the Pitman arm in the vice and give it a good whack with a BFH. I could have used a ball joint tool but I was conscious that I didn't want to damage the rubber seal on the base of the ball joint so the 'hard whack' method was required. Removing the lot was the next logical step as I didn't have enough room underneath the car for a good swing of the hammer.
I didn't do anything to the steering idler apart from cleaning it up and topping up its oil. The RHD idler was common with NK and CS coupes (as are a number of RHD only parts). The unit is actually adjustable but I left mine alone as there was no appreciable play in any direction and yet it turned very smoothly. I am going to assume that is OK as I can't find any instructions as to how it may be adjusted.
I renewed the flex joint after cleaning up the parts. The braided strap for the horn appears to have been working long term by just rubbing against the heat shield (RHD joints have a heat shield to protect the joint against the heat from the exhaust). I added a crimped loop of wire that I protected with heat shrink and installed within the heat shield to protect it.
The new flex joint is quite a bit smaller than the original (no date mark unfortunately, marked Jurid and SKF). I am hoping that there is no compromise in terms of strength longer term.
You can see the comparison between the old box and the replacement in terms of how much adjustment is available. I will give the replacement box a tweak once I have the car back on the road.
When I get a chance, I will tear down the old box and see what state it is in. It definitely felt a lot more rough than the replacement. I am hoping that the worm and roller are OK as I will get it rebuilt with new bearings if it is possible since they are getting pretty rare now. I will update this post with whatever I find.

Ha, so I have huuuuge calves from soccer and I don't think I'll be able to find a pair that'll fit me. Do you have any tips for us athletic folk? I do love the suede ones Serena wears – so pretty.
Blake Lively, Kate Moss, a model at Givenchy SS09 RTW, and Lindsay Lohan wearing over-the-knee boots
It's only July, but style blogs everywhere are already abuzz about possible fall fashion trends. One of the most talked-about trends? Over-the-knee boots.
This trend first appeared at the Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear shows when Givenchy sent an amazing shiny black pair (pictured above) down the runway. Then Blake Lively's character Serena famously caused an internet uproar when she wore a suede pair during Gossip Girl's first season. Ever since, the trend has taken off! Over-the-knee boots showed up on all the Fall 2009 RTW runways, spotted everywhere from Louis Vuitton to Prada. Celebrities love this trend too: everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Rihanna to Kate Moss and even Miley Cyrus has worn over-the-knee boots recently.
Whether they're thigh-high or slightly above the knee, leather or suede, flat or stiletto-heeled, every possible incarnation of over-the-knee boots will be available in stores this fall. But will you be buying?
Let me know what you think… would you wear over-the-knee boots? What do you think of this trend? Will you be picking some up this fall or sticking with below-the-knee boots? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

The TradesNetwork is a web site that introduces British Columbians residence and enterprise improvement initiatives to local contractors and tradesmen who've been rated and beneficial by others. Nicely individuals I do know there are millions of you on the market reading this weblog. So I please ask you to only click on the link under, in case you suppose it's gonna be a waste of time you perhaps flawed. Please, please please see if you nonetheless do not wish to see the positioning just click on the link and come back. Would significantly respect it. 🙂 Thanks. Vacation Volunteering : Episode "The Wood, the Unhealthy and the Hungry" has Randy volunteering at a soup kitchen for Thanksgiving. Whereas leaving one of many regulars is upset about spending the day at a shelter so Jill invitations him back for a meal at theirs.
Twelve years in the past, I thought it will be funny to chronicle my transition to life at UVA and I began running a blog with this simple put up There have been years when folks stated blogging was dying and everybody was going to maneuver to some other platform. A few of those platforms are gone and some pale into obscurity. Just a few have stayed with us. Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat got here alongside and changed how we communicate and digest information, however I think running a blog stays an necessary element of the social house on-line.
Dan Aykroyd makes a guest look as a blues-loving minister within the episode "Shedding My Religion" through the seventh season, the character he was at the moment taking part in on the time in the series Soul Man , a collection that was additionally created by the creators of House Improvement that lasted two seasons. Aykroyd helps Tim understand Tim's son Randy's choice to not go to church after he starts volunteering at a hospice. The Building Division's qualified workers are available to help you during your home improvement challenge and supply the next instruments that will help you with the process.
On the surface, ABC's hit '90s sitcom Home Improvement is wholesome family entertainment. The present followed the tool-obsessed Tim Taylor (Tim Allen), who instructed the viewers of his TELEVISION show, Software Time, how to fix things round their houses – despite the fact that he repeatedly destroyed his own home with a series of overpowered gadgets while his wife and sons seemed on. Look a little deeper, although, and the disturbing hidden meanings of the show turn out to be clear. The Dwelling Improvement cast would not admit this, however it's apparent throughout the show that Tim Taylor misplaced his rattling thoughts. If you spent the '90s watching Tim Taylor try to preserve his family from falling apart, then you little question realize that Dwelling Enchancment is an existential hellscape. But if you managed to overlook the subtext hidden in each episode, proceed reading for a thorough examination of House Enchancment theories.
Jill, his wife, constantly asserts her independence: first, she leaves the nest to proceed her training, after which she begins to work for a magazine which puts her in direct competitors with Tim's id as the media personality in the dwelling. And out of his three kids, none of them have ever proven curiosity in their father's world. Even Brad, the sporty oldest son, fails to indicate any enthusiasm for instruments. Perhaps their lack of curiosity in fawning over Tim drove him to his attempts to manage each appliance and machine around him.

New co-workers, an unknown work environment and the hesitation of not being 100% of what you should be doing. Sounds familiar? It's the scenario every new employee goes through during his/her first day on the job.
Regardless of how many years of experience you have in an industry, starting a new job is always a bit scary. You don't know anything about the new work culture, you don't know whom to talk to and you don't even know where to go for coffee. Miserable! This out-of- place feeling can create anxiety and chip away at your resolve. To avoid this, it's important to have confidence in yourself and face your fears.
If you're starting a new job soon, then here's a handy guide on how to boost your confidence in the new job role.
Don't Be Anxious
Anxiety and stress are common but need to be dealt with. They switch on your defensive mode and restrict you from opening up to your new colleagues. The best way to overcome them is to relax. Maintain a relaxed posture and stay calm. Take a deep breath, loosen your shoulders and wear a beautiful smile. Don't let your tightened or tensed body speak for your uneasiness.
Don't Expect to Excel at Everything
You know you've aced the interview with flying colours, that's why you're here. But that doesn't mean you know everything. It's normal to be unsure of things and make mistakes. Minor mistakes are part of the learning process. Your boss also expects that; so don't worry about asking questions. Remember, a glass can't be filled with water if it's already full. So, if you don't know something, ask. Doing so increases your chances of learning and adapting to your new environment quickly.
Don't Be Judgemental
To learn new things and adapt to new situations, you need to be open-minded. People always prefer interacting with others who have a positive attitude. So, don't be judgemental and accept the opinions and ideas of others. It will help you in establishing a healthy relationship with your colleagues and boss.
Don't Doubt Your Abilities
Have confidence in yourself and never doubt your abilities. You are the one the company chose out of hundreds of applicants. You have got the skills and you're competent enough to carry out this job role. Start your first day with confidence because if you become unsure of your abilities, no one will be able to help you achieve success.
Make the most of your first day at the new job by remembering these points. Make a note of all the information you're presented with on your first day to avoid confusion and misinterpretation. Be confident and ask questions when you're in doubt. All the best!

Last night, I wanted something but just could not figure it out. After countless snacking, I realzed a binge had just ensured. A purge quickly followed. I weighed myself, which probably was not the smartest thing to do. I had gained three lobs which put me into quite a tizzy.
I woke up this morning, with a plan to be active. I needed to pick up some prescriptions from WalMart, so that became my destination. I alternated walking and running for the just over 3mile travel. Mom picked me up on my way back, to run some errands.
On the car ride home, I received a call from work asking me to come in early and work a 12 hour shift. I made a shake to fill me up, made with a can of Pure Protein Strawberry Cream and half a banana. I took a few sips, popped it in the freezer, took a shower, and crashed for a few hours. When I woke up, I thawed the shake a bit and re-whipped it in the MagicBullet. When it was done, it looked like soft-serve! It was refreshing, and nutritious, filling, and frothy!
I sat in a 1:1 for the first 4 of my 12 hour shift. They kept offering me pizza. UGH! So tempting! I went on the floor for the next 4 and then back to the 1:1 for the remainder of the shift. It broke up my night a bit.
I made myself some coffee to give me a boost, and as I walked into the break room, I discovered these babies:
Lauren's Chocolate Chunk Brownies! These are terrible; and by "terrible," I mean, "I could eat the whole tray."
Three of these little squares found their way into my tummy over the course of the night. I like when things are small or two to three bites big. It makes me feel like I'm still indulging without completely derailing. I also brought myself a wonderful salad! The grocery store threw Lean Cuisine on sale for $1.99. I was all over it! I picked up one of there new salad additions. For me, half the package surficed as a meal, and I'm saving the other half for night shift on Friday. I split the ingredients and served it over a big container of spring mix! Delicious! The Lean Cuisine Asian-style Chicken Salad consisted of protein, in the form of chicken breast and edemame, and veggies, such as broccoli and carrots, all topped with a sweet sesame Asian vinaigrette! So enjoyable and highly recommended!

A years-ago trip to the Rocky Mountains provided a pivotal Girl Scout moment for Erin Dempsey. Her troop stayed in a cabin and experienced their first high adventure – whitewater rafting. Concerned about bears while trekking in pairs to the restroom in the middle of the night, the girls sang "Movin' on Up," the theme song from the television show The Jeffersons, as loud as they could to scare any bears away.
The clever coping (and safety) mechanism was the most significant moment of Erin's Girl Scout journey because it made her understand what it meant to support one another and be in something together. As an adult, Erin believes in the power of women supporting women, and she ties it back to this very moment.
Her Girl Scout co-leaders, Susan Taylor and Sheryl Pont, also fostered the drive to serve others in each of their troop members. Service to others has become one of Erin's core values, and she knows Girl Scouts helped form that part of her identity. Now as a co-leader herself, her favorite thing is watching her troop continue that tradition of service by regularly completing Take Action projects.
Erin, a Lincoln native, joined Girl Scouts as a Brownie, continued through high school, and earned her Gold Award. In addition to being a co-leader, Erin is a founding member of the Girl Scouts young professionals group Advancing Modern Professionals for Tomorrow (AMPT) and served on the Lincoln area Volunteer Awards Committee. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Nebraska Lincoln before receiving a doctorate at the University of Kansas in Archeology. She works with the National Park Service's Midwest Archeological Center.
Staying involved in Girl Scouts as an adult is important to Erin because she benefitted tremendously from female mentors who provided opportunity, advice, and perspective that have helped her find personal and professional fulfillment.
"I want to provide that same kind of mentorship to young women," she said. As a member of AMPT, Erin mentors girls about to embark on life after high school while facing challenges like school, relationships, and appearance. She remembers preparing for adulthood and hopes her mentoring will help girls gain insight and develop new skills.
As a woman in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) field, Erin is proud that Girl Scouts works hard to expose girls to career opportunities in these areas.
"Letting girls know that they can be a scientist or an engineer if they want to be is incredible and uplifting," she said. "Finding a career that aligns with and underpins your own values is necessary to be a productive adult."
In her work with the National Park Service, Erin uses archeology, history, geology, and environmental science. She also protects and preserves our nation's most sacred places. Every day she works toward a mission so deeply intertwined with her values that she feels she lives and breathes it. She hopes all Girl Scouts will find the same career satisfaction with support from their mentors, leaders, and other role models.

I just missed it, but from what Rush said, President Bush did not sound like a man who was interested in the Iraq Surrender Group's report. Good, I say.
Here's the AP report.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush said Wednesday he would "not be rushed" into a decision on a strategy change for Iraq, saying that in a round of consultations he heard both some interesting ideas and some "ideas that would lead to defeat."
"And I reject those ideas," Bush said after meeting with top generals and Defense Department officials at the Pentagon. He said those ideas included "leaving before the job is done, ideas such as not helping this (Iraqi) government take the necessary and hard steps to be able to do its job."
Bush spoke with reporters after wrapping up a round of high-level talks on revising his Iraq war policy. Earlier he spoke by telephone with two Kurdish leaders in Iraq as part of what the White House called efforts to forge a "moderate bloc" behind the shaky central government in Baghdad.
In fact, President Bush may do the opposite of what the ISG report recommends regarding troop levels and increase the US troop presence in Iraq.
GEORGE W. Bush has delayed an announcement on his new Iraq war plans until after Christmas as he examines options including a final increase in US troop numbers to quell the country's rising violence.
US television network CBS reported that Mr Bush was examining the possible consequences of boosting the 140,000-strong contingent in Iraq.

This is the guy who gave out the call to behead me. Read some of the responses. Can't upload all. Will upload more when able.
Malay Mail OnlineVerified account @themmailonline
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — The police have arrested a man who allegedly instigated other Muslims to behead civil rights lawyer Siti Kassim.
Siti had made the announcement on her Facebook page this afternoon and included screenshots of the man she claimed to have made the threat.
"This is the guy who gave out the call to behead me," she posted.
The man had allegedly posted two online posts on Siti, one on July 3 and another on July 19.
On July 3, the man had posted an article from a news portal about Siti's comments on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community. Siti has since said she was misquoted in the article.
In a second post, the man attached another article about Siti, in which she reportedly said "Not to follow Arabic Islam, but follow the real Islam".
The man had then remarked in the comment section of the July 19 particular post: "The dog is barking at the hill but it will not be long before the hill collapsed on the dog".
This post had then received negative responses, including calls for Siti to be beheaded, raped and have her face splashed with acid.

Thank you Yati for accompanying me to lodge this police report against this fella who is calling out to people to kill me. I am not revealing who this fella yet as I am going to wait and see if the police are going to be as fast and swift in taking action like they usually do against personalities with well known names with much less threatening words.
I have faith that the police will do the necessary as very serious threats have been made against my life and the responses were very worrying.
Thank you to the person who highlighted this to me without which I would not know that there are people planning and openly calling out to kill and/or injure me.
These people are no different from ISIS mentality. They cannot accept that defending one's right from being persecuted is a right and that one has the right to use one's brain.
I will not take any kind of threats lightly.

Lawyer Siti Kasim lodges police report after Netizens threaten to behead her
KUALA LUMPUR: Bar Council member Siti Zabedah Kasim today lodged a police report against a man who had allegedly called for other Muslims to behead her.
The first threat was posted online on July 3, attached to an article quoting her stand on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community as reported by an online portal, which she claimed had misquoted her.
On July 19, the same man wrote another post, attaching another article from the same online portal, stating that Siti Kasim had allegedly said, "Not to follow Arabic Islam, but follow the real Islam".
Along with the article, the man wrote, "The dog is barking at the hill but it will not be long before the hill collapsed on the dog".
The post had received many responses from the man's followers.
Zabedah, better known as Siti Kasim said among the responses that could be seen on the website included calls to behead, rape, and splash acid on her face.
"There were Netizens who replied, saying that "they want to" (take up the challenge), and they proceeded with exchanging Whatsapp number, while others said that they should not be discussing the matter on the website as anyone could read it," she said when contacted.
Siti Kassim said it was one of the most serious threats that she has received so far, which prompted her to lodge a police report as she feared for her safety.
The report was lodged at Sentul police station this morning.

Siti Kasim: Slander against women punishable under Quran
PETALING JAYA: Prominent lawyer-activist Siti Kasim says Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria has committed what is tantamount to slander against her and as such could be punished to 80 strokes of the cane, according to the Quran.
In a prompt reply to comments made by the Perak mufti at a press conference in Ipoh yesterday, Siti Kasim said Harussani should not speak without checking the facts.
"I did not commit any apostasy. He must listen to my original interview. Not get confused by the cut and paste fitnah (slander) version by menara.my, a fundamentalist website that is out to attack whomever the Islamofascists term as liberals.
"It is a very big fitnah to accuse women wrongly, punishable by 80 kali sebat (whipping 80 times) according to the Quran," she said in a posting on her Facebook page earlier today, accompanying it with a Quranic verse on the need to produce four witnesses.
Yesterday, Bernama reported Harussani as saying that Siti Kasim should not have touched on "tauhid" (oneness of God) as it was not her field of expertise.
"The action is tantamount to committing apostasy," he added.
To the allegation, Siti Kasim questioned the Perak mufti on who were his "four witnesses", adding "Syariah does not accept video evidence", referring to a line that was reportedly said by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang previously.
Harussani had also elaborated on his advice to Siti Kasim saying that "apostates are out of Islam and when they die, they cannot even be buried in a Muslim cemetery."
"My advice is not to meddle in religious matters which we are ignorant of. So, please learn."
To this Siti Kasim questioned if Harussani equated himself with God.
"Is he God? Understanding your faith is a must. Allah insisted his Ummah to use their Aqal. So my advice to him is to listen to his own advice.
"Do not speak on matters we don't know about as this can be detrimental to ourselves," she said.

@sitikasim threatens legal action against 'bullies'
Lawyer Siti Kasim has threatened to take legal action against those who "bully and defame" her about her purported remarks on the existence of God.
This comes after Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki confirmed that the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) will summon her to record a statement following her alleged remarks.
Siti, in a Facebook post last night however, said she found it "strange" that she received information on being called by Jakim from news online when she herself has not heard anything about it.
"They want to call me based on what?? Due to an idiot blogger who created a story for whatever his reasons and twisted it to make it look as if I have created a new God?
"Only mentally challenged people will actually believe rubbish like this. Go and check out the real full interview before bothering me.
"I will have no hesitation to take the full force of law against anyone or anybody who try to bully or defame me," said Siti in the Facebook post.

No reason for Jakim to question me, says Siti Kasim
Lawyer calls for authorities to read the full report of her interview with a Chinese daily before questioning her, saying she will take legal action on the issue.
PETALING JAYA: Prominent lawyer-cum-activist Siti Kasim took to Facebook to question the need for Jakim to call her in to give a statement.
She said it was also strange that she was not informed directly by Jakim but only knew about it when she read the news online.
Yesterday, Bernama reported Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki as saying that Jakim will summon Siti Kasim "to record a statement following her remarks on the existence of god which are deemed deviationist".
He had said the Islamic religious department can take action if the lawyer had committed an offence.
"It's strange that I get information to be called by Jakim from the news online when I have not heard anything myself.
"They want to call me based on what?? Due to an idiot blogger who created a story for whatever his reasons and twisted it to make it look as if I have created a new God?" she wrote on her FB page last night, in response to the news report.

Jakim to question Siti Kasim over alleged deviant Islamic remarks
KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Lawyer Siti Kasim will be summoned to clarify her reported remarks relating to God's existence in an interview with a Chinese news outlet that purportedly deviates from the Islamic faith, a deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department said today.
Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) will contact and arrange an interview date with the vocal lawyer and human rights activist, national news agency Bernama reported.
"We're not trying to degrade her but is it true what she said? We want to hear from her lips first but when summoned, don't fail to turn up," he was quoted telling reporters in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan after officiating an event there.
Asyraf was also reported adding that Jakim is not empowered to take legal action against Siti, but that the state Islamic Department can take action based the relevant enactments relating to crime, faith and the dissemination of matters that can damage Islam.
The deputy minister in charge of Islamic affairs was reported to be responding to Siti's online interview with an unnamed Chinese news outlet a few years ago.

Siti Kasim gets death threats, branded 'destroyer' of Muslim faith after online interview
KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — Lawyer Siti Kasim has lodged a police report against Facebook users who threatened to decapitate her over her alleged remarks on God.
The human rights lawyer said the death threats came after a fundamentalist Malay-language portal, Menara.my, published an article titled "Melalui getaran, kita menghasilkan Tuhan — Siti Kasim" (Through vibrations, we create God — Siti Kasim) that she said had "manipulated" her interview with Chinese-language portal pocketimes.my.
"Many comments calling for my death. This guy messaged me and warned me," Siti told Malay Mail Online today, referring to a Facebook user who said that she "deserved to be killed".
She sent Malay Mail Online screenshots of other Facebook users who said things like, "If it were up to me, I would have chopped off this CT Kasim's head already…traitor to the religion and destroyer of the faith of Muslims in these times".
Siti said she lodged a police report here last Saturday.
"I don't run to lodge police report unless it is absolutely necessary," she posted on her Facebook page earlier today.
Apparently, so many made up stories on me creating new God lah… and photos being spread around about me by people who claimed to be defenders of Islam who enjoyed reading the comments by others, bashing and threatening to kill me..
This photoshopped picture is an example. I have never even met this fella. I don't even know his name… lol… but what these Islamofascists don't realise, this will actually give much credit to what his name being pictured with me. It shows he is for plurality and supports ALL MALAYSIANS without seeing race and religion.
These Islamofascists losers cannot see beyond their small boxes in which they are being imprisoned by their dogmas and hatred.
If these losers think they can shut me up by spreading lies and twisted stories about me then they are going to be disappointed.

Bar AGM: Alcohol ban motion defeated, lawyer drops bid to censure Siti Kasim
KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 ― Lawyers today voted down a proposal to stop serving alcohol at Malaysian Bar events, while another pushing for condemnation of lawyer Siti Kasim's conduct was also withdrawn.
Malay Mail Online understands that over 580 lawyers present at the Malaysian Bar's 71st Annual General Meeting (AGM) today rejected lawyer Mohd Amir Sharil Bahari Md Noor's motion for the professional body to discontinue the serving of alcohol at its events.
Sources told Malay Mail Online that 16 lawyers abstained from voting, while fewer than 10 members of the professional body for all lawyers in Peninsular Malaysia voted in favour of stopping the serving of alcohol at its events.
Malay Mail Online also learnt that the lawyer also known as Amir Bahari had withdrawn his motion against Siti over the uploading of a video on Facebook.
In his election campaign last month for the Kuala Lumpur Bar committee chairman post, Amir Bahari had promised to "Islamise" and make the KL Bar Shariah-compliant by discontinuing the serving of alcohol at its events.
He previously told Malay Mail Online that the serving of alcohol did not "reflect the culture of plural society", asserting that the practice made Muslim lawyers uncomfortable to attend such events and deterred them from being more involved in the KL Bar.
Lawyer Syahredzan Johan later pointed out that alcohol is not served at most of the Malaysian Bar's events and not included in ticket prices paid by lawyers, clarifying that the alcohol was either sponsored or paid for by lawyers who partake.
Syahredzan said the portrayal that alcohol was abundantly available at such events were "inaccurate and distorts reality"

Malaysian Bar AGM to debate on Siti Kasim's conduct
Such unprecedented action in the history of the Malaysian Bar must be strongly condemned by lawyers, says lawyer Amir Bahari.
PETALING JAYA: Lawyer Mohd Amir Sharil Bahari Md Noor has filed a motion to censure fellow lawyer Siti Kasim for uploading a video of the Kuala Lumpur Bar annual general meeting (AGM) proceedings last month.
The motion will be debated at the Malaysian Bar AGM on Saturday.
The lawyer, better known as Amir Bahari, said he wants the incoming Bar Council to refer Siti Kasim to the disciplinary board for professional misconduct should the motion be approved by a majority of members.
In his motion filed last Friday, he also wants the Bar Council to take other steps against Siti Kasim for bringing the legal profession into disrepute.
Siti Kasim will feature as member in the incoming Bar Council. She was one of 12 lawyers who were directly elected.
In his motion, Amir Bahari, who specialises in shariah law, said lawyers were members of the noble legal profession and expected to behave well at all times.
"Siti Kasim has behaved in a repugnant and obnoxious manner which has brought the legal profession into disrepute," he said in the motion.
Siti Kasim posted on Facebook a video of a speech made by a lawyer at the KL Bar AGM and unilaterally maintains that she received consent from the maker of the speech to broadcast the video.
Amir Bahari said Siti knew the posting would go viral and would have the intended and designed adverse impact on other fellow lawyers.
He said such unprecedented action in the history of the Malaysian Bar must be strongly condemned by lawyers.
Amir Bahari said Siti Kasim's action was also in breach of Section 76 (2) of the Legal Profession Act for making public proceedings of the KL Bar AGM.
"She has also breached the Legal Profession (Publicity Rules) 2001 for publicising herself in a manner regarded as bad taste, sensational, intrusive, offensive or in any other way not befitting the dignity of the legal profession," he said.
If they can heckle her, why can't Siti Kasim 'give them the bird'?

Head Transplants Might Actually Become A Thing
Okay, we know it all sounds a bit Human Centipede. But according to an honest-to-God neuroscientist, head transplants could soon end up being more than the butt of bad jokes.
Thanks to advances in spinal-cord surgery, it's now technically, allegedly possible to move somebody's head onto someone else's body, and just...meld the neck to the spine. In more disturbing news, science has actually been practicing this on animals for some time. (We know you just checked your Web page, and no: we are not The Onion.)
We'll explain. So, Dr. Sergio Frankenstein–um, Canavero—recently drew up a paper outlining exactly how it might be done, and published it in Surgical Neurology International. His thinking is as follows: since it's now more feasible than ever to reconnect broken spinal cords, the logical next step is to think about how you'd link a headless spine (the stuff of nightmares, we'd call it) to a spineless head. This has actually been carried out, successfully, in animals. Since 1970.
We'll put an image in here. Because of course you were wondering.
(Image: White et al., 1971)
To carry out this bonafide medical procedure, you'd firstly have to get very, very drunk. Then, you'd chill both bodies, remove both heads at the same time, and slip the donor head onto the donor body. And you'd stop the heart, obviously. Finally, you'd link up the spinal cords using cutting-edge techniques—just last week, this worked successfully in rats—and, we imagine, break into movie-villain laughter.
Theoretically, this could allow paraplegics and other victims of disease robbed of the use of their bodies to re-gain full movement. Estimates place the cost at around $13 million dollars.
Open University's Dr. Stephen Rose responded to this groundbreaking advancement with the following statement: "This is medical technology run completely mad."
In other words: WHAT. THE. EFF.

The number one reason you aren't achieving your entrepreneurial dream is self-doubt.
Self-doubt steals your joy and kills your entrepreneurial dreams.
You must believe in you to succeed in every area of life. This may sound overly dramatic but when you don't believe in yourself you've given up on you. Your daily activities are focused on existing not living.
Self-doubt kills dreams. A life without dreams isn't worth living.
"Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly."
― Langston Hughes
When you don't believe you have what it takes to achieve success, you may take half-hearted action or no action at all. You'll make excuses and tell stories to justify why you're stuck.
Why you should believe in yourself
If you don't believe in yourself most people won't believe in you. They'll have no desire to buy your products or services. They'll sense your insecurities and refuse to partner with you.
Later in life you'll have regrets. You'll regret all the missed opportunities, failed relationships, dreams you gave up because you didn't believe in yourself.
Josh Barkey, an author who blogs at joshbarkey.com, wrote a captivating article sharing why he believes "a life without regret is hardly worth living." I understand his point of view.
However, if you want to change your life, if you have dreams and aspirations, and self-doubt is the only thing keeping you from moving forward, with passing time, you'll earn the right to be regretful. Your mantra then becomes "a life with regret is hardly worth living."
You are the sculpture of your life. You've been given all you need to shape it. I know there's at least one person who believes in you but nothing happens if you don't believe in you. He/she is ready to cheer you on, stop focusing on the non-supporters; this includes your self-doubting self. You'll inspire others with your success.
You've arrived at the fork in the road; choose wisely – the land of regret or the land of satisfaction.
How to start believing in yourself
1. Build your confidence
Self-doubt is aligned with lack of confidence. Take specific steps to build your confidence. My free 21 days of confidence boosting tips is a good place to start.
2. Remove your labels
Are you walking around thinking you're one thing or another because of what someone said to you? Have you accepted your negative self-talk as truth? Remove all labels now – those you've claimed from others and those created by you – that don't empower or enrich your life.
Close your eyes and mentally peel them off and shred or burn them.
3. Celebrate your strengths
Focus on your strengths and celebrate them. Furthermore, reflect on the things you've accomplished that made you proud – don't overlook those you've labeled "no big deal." Such as graduating from high school/college or being a parent. Own them! Celebrate them! They're yours – big and small. Write them down. These memories are your anchors – make it a habit to reflect on them to boost your confidence and belief in yourself.
You can use tangible and intangible objects as anchors – jewelry, a motivational quote, a prayer, a chant, a smell, a song, a picture etc. – to remind you of a time you felt strong and confident.
Don't fall into this trap – as so many do – spending your valuable time honing your weaknesses.
4. Stop comparing
Stop comparing yourself to others right now. I had to slay this dragon. I was spending too much time comparing myself to others – my writing style, blog, and just about everything that has to do with online marketing.
Don't get me wrong, comparing can help you to grow and achieve goals but most of us compare to put ourselves down and to confirm that we aren't good enough. Read, listen, and learn and add your unique touch.
Stop the unhealthy comparing. Revisit #3 and slay this dragon today.
5. Awareness is key
Practice awareness. Become aware of your thoughts and the feelings accompanying them. When you don't believe in yourself the tendency is to let your imagination dwell on all that could go wrong. Why start your business when your desires are fueled by what could go wrong? Why commit to a relationship when you've already imagined it ending.
There's no right or wrong feelings. What's important is how you react to them. How you allow them to affect your life. Practice! Practice! Practice focusing on your desired outcome. Take decisive action in spite of self-doubt. In time you will strengthen your resolve to believe in yourself.
Give yourself permission to fail
Failure is an option. My daughter is a brilliant, self-doubting musician. One night she was doing back-up for a band and she called me in panic mode just before their performance. She wasn't going to go on. I guided her through a relaxation exercise and encouraged her to "give herself permission to fail." She performed and had a blast. She later told me "giving herself permission to fail" was the key.
Don't run from your fears, they'll outrun you every time. Face you fears. Look them in the eyes and stand your ground. When it comes to the fear of failure do what my daughter did – give yourself permission to fail. It will set you free. Read more about the fear of failure and other fears here
It's a wrap
When you have the desire to be an entrepreneur nothing else will satisfy you. Confident entrepreneurs welcome challenges because they're doing what they love. If self-doubt is keeping you from achieving your entrepreneurial dream, know that self-belief can be learned.
If you peel back the layers of self-doubt you may discover that your self-doubt is linked to one or more fears. Fear of being judged, fear of humiliation, fear of disappointing someone, fear of rejection and/or the fear of success. Read more about these fears and how to overcome them at https://www.adaliaconfidenceandsuccessblog.com/2012/07/10/are-any-of-these-five-fears-holding-you-back/
Your turn
Has self-doubt prevented you from doing something that was important?

Ghosts & the Supernatural – We have been to Stinson Beach before, when we investigated Sausalito. We were going to investigate more of Stinson Beach, but Bodega Bay was calling our name. If you want a taste of the paranormal, Stinson Beach is a place to visit.
At this private residence it is said to be occupied by the ghost of the former owner. At around 2am, the ghost will go out to the beach and stomp around. It is said he is looking for a missing golden hook. Terri Bradshaw says she saw a man in a robe as she was camping out with her boyfriend on the beach. The man in the robe was taking large deliberate steps and seemed to be looking for something on the beach. She believes she saw the Easkoot House Sea Captain. Added note, at this residence a burglar alarm went off and rang for over 10 minutes. Here's the clencher, the alarm was completely disconnected. If you are investigating in this area, the house is a private residence, no investigating is allowed at the home, but if you happen to see the ghost on the beach, that is another matter in itself. ENTITY IDENTIFIED: EASKOOT HOUSE SEA CAPTAIN
Fairfax is about 4 miles away from Stinson Beach. The ghost of a young woman who called herself Sunshine Lollypop haunts the corner of sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Taylor Drive. She died there tragically in 1970 when she rode her bicycle and was slammed against the wall by an ongoing vehicle. Sunshine Lollipop embraced the hippie culture and was seen many times while alive with a flower in her hair. She was seen many times when she was living at Winterland and Fillmore West. Sunshine Lollipop bragged about trying to hitchhike to Woodstock, but made it as far as Kansas and eventually turned back. Sunshine Lollipop is also seen around 8pm on Winter nights walking Stinson Beach where she frequented during her time on Earth.
Terrance Burkett and 3 friends were fishing off a pier in Bodega Bay and they claim they saw a humanoid type of fish in 1985. The humanoid type of fish popped completely out of the water and had tiny arms and hands, scales all over its body and an odd almost human type of face. Gina McHansen says in 1992, she saw an odd scaly fish humanoid sunning itself and when she attempted to take a picture, the creature slithered back into the water with lightning speed. Many seagulls were flying in and around where this cryptid was sighted by Gina. Gina went to the location where she saw Scales a few more times, hoping to glimpse Scales one more time, she never saw Scales again. Note: Gina is the one that called this creature by the name of Scales.
Nathan H. Stinson bought land at the site in 1866. In 1870, the first road was built along the Pacific coast from Sausalito, California, and a tent settlement sprang up amongst the willow trees at the beach, which gave rise to the town's original name, Willow Camp. The Mt. Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railway opened in 1896, making Willow Camp more accessible. Visitors could ride the train to West Point Inn and then hike or arrange a stagecoach to take them to the beach. In 1906, refugees from the San Francisco earthquake came to the area and built some of the area's first businesses. Stinson Beach became the official town name in 1916, in honor of the largest landowners, Rose and Nathan Stinson.
The first post office opened in 1916.
In 1939, the beach was sold to Marin County. It was transferred to the State of California in 1950, and was eventually transferred to the National Park Service in 1977.
Stinson Beach is the home for GDTSToo, Inc., the mail order distribution company for the Fare Thee Well Tour (Dead50), and other musical acts.
Citizens of Bodega Bay have reported seeing yellow globes and red globes over the ocean. On the way back home from Bodega Bay- My wife Deanna Jaxine Stinson and I, actually saw a UFO, a red globe with fire coming out of it, it was moving rapidly and this was in between Sonoma and Bodega Bay. It was at least 10,000 feet in the air, it was headed West and we were headed East. A MUFON report was submitted.
10/12/2015. On the way back to Sacramento from Bodega Bay, Deanna told me the Saia Angel Story, because we saw 3 Saia trucks on the way to Bodega Bay. The story goes when Saia was first starting off as a trucking company, going coast-to-coast and the owner of the company came up with trucking refrigeration. Most of their deliveries were fish. Another company tried to steal the idea and the Angel Michael came to the owner and helped him win the court case. Saia for a long time had angels painted on their trucks and would hand out angel flyers to customers. Saia became a successful trucking company. This is the case of the Saia Angel.
After filming "Shadow of A Doubt" in Santa Rosa in 1948, Alfred Hitchcock returned to Sonoma County in 1961 to find a remote coastal location for his next project "The Birds." He chose Bodega Bay, with surrounding bleak treeless hills, quiet fishing harbor and fog. Based on a short story by Daphne DuMaurier, the original story took place in an English seashore village where murderous birds attacked the local villagers. Evan Hunter, who had written "The Blackboard Jungle" and "Last Summer" wrote the screenplay; Alfred Hitchcock financed the film from his successful television show.
Never had a director portrayed animals working in unison with intelligence. "The Birds" became the first horror/ fantasy film. Special effects, including mechanical birds, live and wild birds on strings, and optically altered film overlays of birds in flight made this a most frightening film. The fog did not always cooperate, so much of the film needed to be tinted gray. Nearly three years were required to complete work on the film for its release in 1963.
The 150 year old Potter School behind St. Theresa's Church five miles south of Bodega Bay in Bodega, was vacant at the time of the filming. After Alfred Hitchcock's crew repaired the exterior it was used for several scenes. Today it is a private residence and is sometimes open for tours. The school teacher's house was a façade erected during the filming. The Catholic Church, briefly visible in the film, was made famous when it was photographed by Ansel Adams.
