The Court of Appeal has recently upheld a widow's public law defence to possession proceedings because the local authority failed to consider granting her a new tenancy of the property in accordance with their allocation scheme.
Background of the Case
Mrs Shearer had lived at the property in question with her husband, Mr Shearer, who was the secure tenant and their children. When Mr Shearer died, Mrs Shearer succeeded the tenancy by statute.
The local authority operated a choice based allocations scheme, under which applicants were placed in bands of housing need. However, the allocations scheme also allowed the authority to make direct offers of accommodation to applicants in exceptional circumstances. The local authority Housing Services Department informed Mrs Shearer that she and her children could not continue to live at the property and advised her to apply for alternative accommodation and to contact their Housing Options Department for further advice.
The Housing Options Department then asked Mrs Shearer to provide documentation so that she could be considered for re-housing. Mrs Shearer was not told about the possibility of a direct offer being made, or that if she provided the requested information, it could be used to determine whether a direct offer should be made.
Mrs Shearer failed to provide the requested information and asked to remain in the property. The local authority refused to allow Mrs Shearer to remain in the property and commenced possession proceedings. The County Court dismissed the claim and found that the local authority had acted unlawfully because it had misled Mrs Shearer into thinking that the sole purpose of the requested documentation was to consider rehousing her away from the property, when it was actually needed to consider granting her a direct let of the property.
The local authority appealed this decision.
Key Points of the Court of Appeal Decision
• The local authority had provided misleading advice by telling Mrs Shearer that there was no question of her being able to remain in the property. It was made clear to her that the most she could achieve by submitting the requested documents was to pursue an application for different accommodation. Mrs Shearer was a vulnerable person and in the circumstances could not be expected to appreciate that the Housing Services Department was giving her the wrong advice. The facts of the case were exceptional and the local authority could not rely on Mrs Shearer's non compliance with its allocation scheme when they had in fact caused that non compliance.
• Although the local authority were not bound to make a direct offer to Mrs Shearer, they had acted unlawfully by failing to give this option any consideration and instead commenced possession proceedings.
• Having regard to all the circumstances, it was proper for the county court judge to have concluded that the local authority had rejected the option of making a direct let and accordingly the local authority's appeal was dismissed and Mrs Shearer was able to raise a successful public law defence.
This case highlights the importance of local authorities carefully following allocation schemes that are in place in order to avoid tenants raising a public law defence to possession proceedings. The local authority in this case was criticised by the Court for not taking into account Mrs Shearer's exceptional circumstances when they well aware of them. The Court felt the Defendant had found herself in a desperate situation which meant she had a respectable case for receiving the benefit of a direct let under the allocation schemes but the Defendant had failed to even consider these matters.
The judge in this case also highlighted that the local authority "wrongly allowed form to prevail over substance" as the local authority already knew the matters of which they were requesting formal proof, for example identity of the applicant, details of children and current address. Therefore, this case highlights the importance of taking all of an applicant's circumstances into account when deciding whether they are eligible for rehousing and correctly following allocation procedures.

I told my wife before our church's prayer meeting last night that I was setting myself up for major discouragement: I was going to ask our church what they could remember about Sunday morning's sermon. As in the sermon I had just preached three days before. As in the message I had slaved over in study and prayer for the glory of God and the good of their souls . . . you get the idea. Please do not misunderstand: God has blessed me with a congregation that loves the Word of God and is more attentive to the Scriptures than any I have ever had the privilege to preach to. They are truly one of the deepest sources of joy to me. Still, I knew that by Wednesday evening, there was a good chance there would be crickets chirping when I asked for some feedback (beyond, "oh you did such a good job with it!") .
So why would I set myself up for such a fall? Two reasons.
First, it provided an excellent opportunity to point out how prone we are to be hearers of the Word only, to take in Biblical preaching approvingly and thankfully, only to forget its instruction and application and instruction by the Sunday afternoon football game. It offered a chance to explain the purpose of preaching as more than simply the weekly box to be checked off, or a performance to be admired or critiqued, but God's means of cutting us and binding us up and conforming us to Christ. It afforded me the chance to commend jotting down the major points on the little note pads for later review I have begun leaving in the pews. This sort of culture-building takes time, but it starts with these kinds of loving encouragements, it seems to me.
Second, as we are focusing on becoming Biblical pray-ers on Wednesday nights, I wanted to commend to them the practice of "praying through" the sermon after it has been preached to them. Any of us can be discouraged when we look down at our watch and see that, after pouring out our hearts for every need we can imagine, less than five minutes has passed! This is often because we are not allowing the endless resource of Scripture to be the kindling for the flames of the roaring fires of our prayer. Just as our private meditations on Scripture should aid our prayer, so should the Biblical sermons we hear – specifically prepared for and applied by a pastor who knows us and loves us – provide ample fuel for our prayers throughout the week.
So after a bit of coaxing, a few members began reciting some of the major points from Sunday's sermon on John 15:17-16:33 . . . Jesus' followers live in a world that hates them for Jesus' sake . . . the gracious working of the Holy Spirit is necessary to convict the world of sin and righteousness . . . Christians are to find sorrow in the world and joy in Christ, and not to get those two backwards. With these once more before us, we took some time to tease out the applications for ourselves in prayer, i.e. "Father, search my heart and expose where I take delight in the world. . .I praise you for the work of the Holy Spirit, apart from which I would still be dead in my sins and in love with the world," etc. Then, we prayed together.
Joining the two spiritual disciplines of sermon-listening and prayer together will make both of them more effective and greater sources of joy for any child of God. This is the kind of practical lesson that the Puritans knew and taught so well. And now their heirs, men like Donald Whitney, J.I. Packer and Dr. Ray Van Neste, bring out so well to spiritual weaklings like me.
I am sure it will take time for this sort of teaching to take root and bear fruit throughout my church, but I am confident that the Holy Spirit is already at work in creating a greater joy in Christ in each of us. After all, I listened to Sunday morning's sermon.

East Sacramento is the jewel of Sacramento County and unarguably one of the city's finest enclaves. Its lush, tree-lined streets showcase why Sacramento remains the region's City of Trees. The area is comprised of a handful of small, charming neighborhoods which blend seamlessly with the refined, elegant homes built primarily in the '30s and '40s.
Located east of downtown and midtown, it personifies urban beauty - immaculate, tree-canopied streets bordered by aesthetically charming homes. European revivals, bungalows, craftsman, Spanish, Tudors, and ranch style homes range from quaint storybook to posh grandeur. The area is best known as the locale of McKinley Park, affordable River Park community, and the Fab Forties. The Fab Forties are homes situated between Folsom Boulevard and J Street on 40th through 47th Streets – spectacular homes on larger lots, often featured in spring and holiday home tours.
McKinley Park is the heart of East Sacramento and a hub of community activity. The Clunie Community Center hosts a number of neighborhood events and houses a branch of the Sacramento Library, known as Clunie Library. The park is also home to the McKinley Rose Garden, a small lake, community pool, several horseshoe pits, baseball fields, soccer fields, and tennis courts. A favorite spot for runners and walkers, the park is also popular for yoga lovers, with a free Saturday morning yoga class held behind the rose garden. Residents of all ages can enjoy centralized entertainment at McKinley Park. The annual event Pops in the Park provides summertime music concerts while on Friday nights rows of food trucks appear as a culinary treat.
East Sacramento's proximity to freeways, downtown, the Capitol Corridor, and a number of large hospitals make it an ideal location for professionals. Its charm, everyday amenities, and strong sense of community have helped to attract families, retirees, and artists to the area.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Traveling Solvent Floating Zone (TSFZ) Method in Crystal Growth)
AbstractThe crystal growth of high-temperature oxide superconductors has been hampered by the complexities of these materials and the lack of knowledge of corresponding phase diagrams. The most common crystal growth technique adopted for these materials is the so-called "Flux" method. This method, however, suffers from several drawbacks: (i) crystals are often crucible and flux contaminated; (ii) crystals are difficult to detach from solidified melt; and (iii) crystals are rather small. In most cases, these drawbacks can be overcome by the crucible-free floating zone method. Moreover, this technique is suitable for crystal growth of incongruently melting compounds, and has been thus successfully used to make large single crystals of Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy superconductor. In this review, the authors summarize the published and their own growth efforts as well as detailed characterization of as-grown and post-growth annealed samples. The optimal growth conditions that allowed one to obtain the large-size, almost single phase and homogeneous in composition Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy single crystals are presented. The effect of long lasting post-growth heat treatment on both crystal quality and superconducting properties has also been demonstrated. View Full-Text

RAW Chocolate Ganache
This is a simple and very straight forward recipe. The main requirement is to have someone standing by who is prepared to diligently lick the spoon and bowl clean! Ganache is typically a mixture of chocolate and cream, used to make truffles and other chocolate desserts or as a filling or topping for cakes and pastries. But our recipe is DAIRY-FREE!
The texture of ganache depends very much on its temperature. It is soft and fairly runny at room temperature, suitable for filling molded chocolates and icing cakes. Once chilled it creates a "firm" ganache that has the consistency of thick paste. When nicely chilled, it creates a smooth, glossy look which is perfect for presentations. We have tested this recipe in the freezer and interestingly enough, it doesn't freeze solid. Enjoy!
1/4 cup of raw cacao powder
3 tablespoons of liquid sweetener (we prefer to use coconut nectar)
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
Vanilla bean
Mix wet ingredients together by hand
Shift cacao powder into wet ingredients. Scrape vanilla bean and add to mixture
Continue to mix by hand until smooth and silky
If too thick mix in a little warm water

Archaeologists for the first time in 500 years, opened the Sepulchre
Researchers studying the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, said that, despite all of the destruction and reconstruction of the temple, this place really is a tomb, which in the IV century found Elena is the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
According to archaeologist Fredrik Hibert from National Geographic, the contents of the tomb provides full proof that the place of worship to which pilgrims come modern, is the same tomb, discovered in the fourth century.
He also added that the Church for centuries, destroyed by fires, earthquakes and invasions.
"We didn't know whether he was lined up every time at the same place," said hibert.
Archaeologists for the first time in 500 years, opened the Sepulchre, removing the marble slab from the scene of the burial of Christ to find out what initially looked like a tomb. There they found a shelf of limestone, which, most likely, was the body of Jesus. The researchers then saw another plate with a cross, which, in their opinion, cut the crusaders.
Earlier, the archaeologists said that the tomb of Christ was intact.

I am still on holidays and have immensely enjoyed completely relaxing this holiday. I have done a bit of sewing but no craft other than sewing.
Last night I stayed up and completed my 'neutral bag' with some hand stitching. If you know me, you know my aversion to both hemming and hand sewing so this is a big deal. I really love the finished product and I'm itching to move on with my next project. I altered the pattern as the original was enormous! I also added an interior pocket. When making this bag, I was reminded of a favourite peeve.. Patterns are not inexpensive and I think you are expecting a quality product when you part with your cash. Fortunately I am an experienced sewer so can use my imitative but any beginner would not have a chance of pulling off a quality product using the pattern that I used. They never include finishing off such as overstitching, pressing or even simple edge finishing. Don't even get me started on the way they somehow haphazardly mix in metric and imperial measurements. Agh!!
Never mind, here is what you're waiting for. Ta da!

Private non-profit military museum in Waikiki that includes exhibitions on the army's history in Hawai'i as the well as the role people from Hawai'i have played in army history. Many aspects of the Japanese American World War II story are included in the exhibitions.\n

The museum is housed in the former Battery Randolph, which was constructed from 1909–11 as part of Fort DeRussy as a series of artillery battalions that guarded the coast. After World War II, its guns were removed, and the structure was used as a warehouse. After a failed attempt to tear down the building in 1969, it was turned into a museum. The U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii opened to the public on December 7, 1976. Located just off the beach in Waikiki, it has become a popular destination with tourists and hosts some 100,000 visitors a year.\n

The bulk of the 13,500 square foot museum is dedicated to permanent exhibitions on the military history of Hawai'i, beginning with a section on \"Hawaiian Warfare\" and continuing on to cover the arrival of the U.S. Army and World War I. Most of the exhibition area focuses on World War II—the run up to war, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the impact of the war on Hawai'i, and the end of the war. A key part of the World War II story is a section titled \"Go For Broke\" that focuses on the Japanese American units: the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the Military Intelligence Service, and the 1399th Engineer Construction Battalion. Photos and text panels are augmented by uniforms, medals, letters and postcards, and objects collected by the Japanese American soldiers while on duty. The sections on the impact of the war in Hawai'i also briefly note the role of the Hawaii Territorial Guard, the precursor to the 100th.\n

Other exhibitions focus on the Korean War and Vietnam Wars, the latter featuring a gallery that tells the story of General Eric Shinseki, a Kaua'i native who was wounded in Vietnam and later became army chief of staff. The second floor includes a \"Gallery of Heroes,\" that includes profiles of the Hawai'i recipients of the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross. There is also a first floor gallery for changing exhibitions as well as displays of tanks, a helicopter and cannons outside and on the roof.\n

The museum is operated by the U.S. Army Garrison, Hawaii. It is supported by the Hawaii Army Museum Society, a 501(c)(3) corporation that funds improvements and new exhibition and also operates the museum store.\n

Recent temporary exhibitions at the army museum have included America's Secret Weapon: Japanese Americans in the Military Intelligence Service in World War II.\n

'Tingkao Ragwang is the creator, operator and destroyer'
God is the name commonly given to the ultimate source and power of the universe and the subject of religious devotion. He is described as the Supreme Being, the creator, and the ordering force of that is. He is infinite, eternal, immutable creator, preserver of all things and the object of worship. He is a perfectly good, true, and righteous personal spirit, that he is eternal and that he possesses omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscient.
The Zeiangrong people believe in the existence of one Supreme God who is the creator of the universe, giver and source of life, the dispenser of plenty and justice (Gangmumei Kamei: Philosophy and Theology of Zeliangrong Religion in Ragailong Youth Club Golden Jubilee, 1998). He is named Tingkao Ragwang. Tingkao Ragwang literally means the heavenly God, or God of the sky or Lord of the universe. R. Brown has made a reference that the Zeliangrong people worshipped a Supreme being who was the creator of all and Dumpapoi, a God who created man by the orders of the Supreme being. (Brown: Statistical Account of Manipur, Mittal Publications, New Delhi, 2001, p.27.)
The traditional religion of the Zeliangrong is basically based on the fundamental belief on the supreme God, Tingkao Ragwang. It was nameless before, yet now known as the Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak, the traditional indigenous religion of the Zeliangrong people of North East India. It was named after the Supreme God worshipped by the people since ancient time. So, '˜Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak' means the religion of Tingkao Ragwang. This profound religious tradition is preserved and practiced through oral traditions by the ancient Zeliangrong community for ages.
'Religion did not exist for the saving of souls'- the individualistic function of modern religion- 'but for the preservation and welfare of society'. (William Robertson Smith: Religion of the Semites, 2005, p.xiv) Ancient religion is collective in nature but modern religion is individualistic. Religion is the system of worship of God by men with a code of spiritual moral, social behavior dealing with God, men and society. (Gangmumei Kamei: The Zeliangrong Primordial Religion, Imphal, 2005, p.1) Primordial religion means a religion with a primeval existence, existing since the beginning of time, ancient and eternal. (Namthuibuiyang Pamei: The Trial from Makuilngdi The Continuing Saga of the Zeliangrong people), Shillong, Sept. 2001, p.30). Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak is thus a primordial religion of the Zeliangrong people. However, the Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak is polytheism: worship of Tingkao Ragwang, the Supreme God, Anbaan Ranun, other gods of the earth, Kairong Shong, village deities and Kairao, ancestors etc. It believes in the supreme God as the highest God out of the Gods. A God is to be supreme over all others, and the rest are but his vassals, his ministers or angels. (Frank Byron Jevons: The History of Religion, Orient Publications, Delhi, 1985 (Reprinted), p.383).
It is believed that Tingkao Ragwang is the direct maker of the sun, the moon and the earth. He is called '˜The father of the beginning', '˜The first of the Gods of the upper world', '˜He who adjusts the world by his hand', and '˜The lord of truth'. He is also called '˜the king of the Gods', '˜The lifter of the hand' and '˜The lord of the crown'. '˜He rules supreme over the gods'. '˜He who has made the world and all that is in it'. (George Rawlinson: The Religions of the Ancient World, Award Publishing House, New Delhi, 1980 (Indian Edition), Pp.24-52). God is everywhere that He is '˜like wind' and '˜like air'.(E.E. Evans-Pritchard: Nuer Religion, Oxford University Press, 1977, p.4) There was no such time when He was not there, and there will be no such time when He will not be there. He is the origin and mover of all things in the universe. He was never born, and will never die. Fire cannot burn it. Water cannot wet it. Air cannot dry it up. No weapon can cut it. He is beyond change. He is formless and colorless. He is the protector of men. (Ibid.p.8) Horace says, it is 'Who guides below and rules above, the great disposer and the mighty king; than he none greater; next him none can be, or is, nor was; supreme, he singly fills the throne'. (Tryon Edwards (Compiled): The Greatest Quotations An Encyclopedia of Quotations, Crest Publishing House, New Delhi, 1999 (First Edition), p.434). Thus, He is worshipped as the Supreme God, the creator of the universe, nature, gods, men and animal.
Tingkao Ragwang is eternal with no beginning and no end, good, source of life, giver and ultimate goal of human soul, source of holiness, architect of men's destiny, source of knowledge and wisdom. He is created out of nothing by his will. He has no father, nor mother. He just exists. He is beyond time and space. He is omnipresent (present everywhere); omniscient (infinite knowledge), omnipotent (unlimited power) and omnibenevolent (perfect goodness). (Gangmumei Kamei: The Zeliangrong Primordial Religion, Imphal, 2005, Pp.5-6; Chaoba Kamson: Ra Pari, Imphal, 2009, Pp. 1-3)
According to traditions and myths of the Zeliangrong, Tingkao Ragwang willed to create the universe, god, men and nature. It is Tingkao Ragwang who gives soul to man. Soul is locally called Buh mang. He is described as Buhshinmeipu-Buhdameipu, the giver and protector of Soul. He is the ordainer of the need of human kind, the creator of the uncreated and the destroyer of the created. (Tingkao Ragwang Kalum Kai, Souvenir, Imphal, 7th May, 2001, p.28; Conference on Zeliangrong Religion: A Commemorative Volume, Imphal, 1994, Pp.5-6).
Heaven means the dwelling place of God, and the abode or state of being of the saved, or the blessed in the afterlife or in the time after the last judgment. It is a place of peace and definitive happiness.
The term also designates the celestial sphere or spheres in contrast to the earth, the dwelling place of man and to the underworld, the abode of the souls. Heaven is also the place of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, all of which give and symbolize light, a quality of the sacred and the good, as opposed to darkness, the quality of the underworld and evil. '˜God being above, everything above- the heavenly bodies and the movements and actions connected with them are associated with him. Thus anything associated with the sky is lacking in earthly things'. (E.E. Evans-Pritchard: Op.cit, p.3) The concept of Heaven is interpreted in various ways in different religions of the world.
It is believed that Tingkao Ragwang lives in the heaven above the sky called Tingkao Kaidai or Tingkao Ragwang kai; (Tingkao=sky, Ragwang=supreme God, Kai=abode). Every Zeliangrong people wish and dream to go to Heaven. Local tradition says, there is no suffering, no jealousy, no anger and everything is available in Heaven. It is the golden land of peace and happiness. It is believed that only the holy soul or the one who is free from any sin called Non or a doer of good in the human world, one who follows the tenets of the Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak and the performer of feast of merits such as Ragaidai, Bamjou Kimei, Muleng, Banru and Taraang in the name of supreme God will go to Heaven after death. (Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak: Ringlon Khatni Theilon, Imphal, 2002, Pp.63-65; Chaoba Kamson: Ra Pari, Imphal, 2009, p.3) In Bhagavad Gita (15.6) That Supreme abode of Mine is not illuminated by the sun or moon, or by fire Those who reach it never return to this material world'.
Worship is an act of religious devotion usually directed to one or more deities. Evelyn Underhill defines worship thus: 'The adoring acknowledgement of all that lies beyond us- the glory that fills heaven and earth. It is the response that conscious beings make to their creator, to the Eternal Reality from which they came forth; to God, however they may think of Him or recognize Him, and whether He be realized through religion, through nature, through history, through science, art, or human life and character.' (Evelyn Underhill: Education and the Spirit of worship, in collected papers, London, 1946, p.193) Through worship, man acknowledges his dependence on God and seeks to do His will, or on a lower level he tries to win God's favor. An act of worship may be performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader. Religious worship happens in a wide variety of locations: in purpose-built places of worship, at home or in the open. Many religious traditions place an emphasis upon regular worship at frequent intervals, often daily or weekly or monthly at full moon day. Expression of worship vary but typically include one or more of the following: prayer, meditation, ritual, scripture, sacrament, sacrifice, sermons, chanting, music or devotional song, dance, religious holidays, festivals, pilgrimage, dining, fasting, temples or shrines, idols, or simply private individual acts of devotion.
The mode of worship of Tingkao Ragwang ranges from a small offering of water to the great sacrifices of Maku Banru, Bamjou Kimei and Taraangkai etc. In other words, Tingkao Ragwang is worshipped through prayers, sacrifices and meditation. Following the footsteps of Haipou Jadonnang and Rani Gaidinlu, they constructed House of worship known as Kalum Kai or Kalum Ki for the purpose of worship of Tingkao Ragwang. Now, there are twelve number of House of worship in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. The followers of TRC come and worship Tingkao Ragwag, the Almighty God at the Kalum Kai every full moon day and every Sunday regularly (through prayer, devotional song, offering of holy wine and traditional dance etc.) for wellbeing and prosperity. All the believers in God are supposed to come and worship Tingkao Ragwang for his blessing.
Thus, Tingkao Ragwang is the Supreme God of the Zeliangrong people.

Nicole Lemon is a biology-chemistry double major studying at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She's currently wrapping up her junior year and preparing for a research based internship this summer where she will be working closely with an associate professor of the biomedical department. She plans to go go to medical school post graduation to pursue ambitions to become a neurologist. She would consider herself liberal, and throughout the past few years I've watched her grow as an advocate for social justice issues on Facebook and Twitter. I believe the passion and strength of her beliefs causes her to be unable to remain silence on public social platforms.
What influences you to tweet something, or make a Facebook post?
My biggest influence as to why I post on Twitter and Facebook is transparency. This may seem backwards. In using social media you are hiding behind a computer. It isn't real, some things aren't clear. But I tweet and post a lot so that I am transparent- so that everyone KNOWS what I am thinking, and everyone knows what i am going through…not necessarily because i need everyone to know but because I am proud of who I am. I like to stand up for what I believe in and I like to be heard. The best way to get the attention of a vast majority these days is through posting on Facebook and tweeting.
What influences you to intervene in an already existing Facebook discussion or Twitter war?
Do you believe people are careless with their words online?
I think that when people post dumb things, and don't expect to be challenged- they deserve to be challenged.
Do you think you are a more established source of knowledge on certain topics via web because of your scientific and well informed background?
Do you think Facebook is an appropriate forum for people to discuss their beliefs?
Do you believe Facebook supplies peoples' ignorance?

humble hearts
Proverbs 21:29
"A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways"
This is such an important lesson to learn. What if we are messing up our lives by acting like we know all the answers and we have it all together. One of the best ways to know if you are making a wise decision is to ask others for their advice. Being able to ask and accept guidance shows so much maturity and respect. There is NO way that we can have the answers to everything in life.
Ask others for help and guidance and watch the way that it deepens your relationship with that person. Find those solid trustworthy people in your life and thank God for placing them there. Everyone needs help sometimes, don't be afraid to ask for it.
Make sure that you are honest; admit your struggles and rejoice when you have victories in your life.

Winding up
Our goals have been adapted to meet the limitations of time on the ground in Sanok and weather complications. Thursday is the final work day for the full TFG crew. The bulk of the students headed out Wednesday morning to Warsaw where they will spend a couple of days before returning home.
Tuesday was our first real rainy day, with steady light precipitation punctuated by periodic downpours. We had to abandon our plan to raise at least a couple of roof trusses since the kiln-dried cupola boards were in process of being installed. The frame is tented against the rain and the cover cannot come off until the dried stock is safely packed away again. As usual, we tell the story of the last couple of days in pictures…

Emergency Dentist Gold Coast QLD
Has an incident or accident left you with damaged teeth or oral pain? When it comes to a dental emergency it's best not to wait and risk further damage and discomfort.
Preserving the natural state of your teeth is favourable for both your dental hygiene and health, and, the physical appearance of your smile. Seeking immediate medical advice in the case of a dental emergency is vitally important, and could mean the difference between saving your natural smile and requiring extensive and expensive long term dental surgery.
Some of the more common dental emergencies include:
A broken or chipped tooth
From time to time we find ourselves in accidents that can lead to a chipped or broken tooth, in such a case you should get in contact with a dental professional as soon as possible.
You should wash your mouth by rinsing with warm salty water, and take normal medication if you are suffering pain from a headache.
The good news? You don't need to worry too much, you've still got your tooth! Dental crowns are a simple and ideal procedure that will repair and strengthen chipped or broken teeth.
For more information on dental crown procedures click here
Persisting toothache
A toothache may actually be caused by a problem such as a dental cavity or gum disease. If you have a persisting toothache it's important to diagnose the cause as soon as possible.
Click here to book an appointment
Knocked out or lost tooth
If your tooth has been completely knocked out, it's time to move! Getting to a dentist or your local emergency room within half hour can be the difference between life and death for your natural tooth.
You should hold the tooth by the crown and not the root and, after gently rinsing the tooth with water or milk, try to place the tooth back into the socket. If this is not possible place your tooth into a small container or cup of milk while you transit to the medical centre or dentist.

Well the Pureblood Patron Saint of Independent Civil Libertarians has spoken. And the question -- the only question -- is whether or not you still stand with him.
And of course, the the only admissible answer is either an unreserved, dog-loyal "Yes, I agree completely with everything Rand Paul says and does." or an eternal, condemnatory "No, Rand Paul is an asshole who has never been on the right side of any issue in his life.".
No middle-ground will be accepted. No conditional statements will be admitted. Because as we all know, "Yes, if..."'s and "No, but..."'s are for pussies and nuance-drunk O-bots only.
Here is the Pureblood Patron Saint of Independent Civil Libertarians from CNN:
And here is what the Pureblood Patron Saint of Independent Civil Libertarians helped to accomplish today:Rand Paul: Obama used Newtown families as 'props'Washington (CNN) - Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky argued Wednesday morning President Obama is using the families of victims from the Newtown elementary school shooting for political purposes and compared them to "props" in the ongoing gun control debate....
Senate bill to extend background checks killed by filibuster
Posted by Brad Plumer on April 17, 2013 at 5:09 pm
So much for significant new gun-control legislation. The bipartisan Manchin-Toomey bill to extend background checks to gun shows and Internet sales has died in the Senate. It got 54 votes, but that wasn't enough to overcome what was essentially a Republican filibuster.
The Manchin-Toomey compromise bill was a scaled-back version of earlier proposals to extend background checks to unregulated private gun sales. Many gun experts argued that the slimmed-down proposal would have only marginal effects on gun violence. But even that small step couldn't get through the Senate.So are we still Standing With Rand?
(Bonus points will be awarded for Rand Standers who also mansplain why there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the America's two major political parties.)

Happy Easter
I have another Easter card for today. I usually send 10-15 cards and this is only #2. This one would be an easy one to recreate in different colors.
color challenge #414 on Splitcoaststampers. Peggy is our hostess and she chose a great trio of colors with certainly celery, crumb cake and chocolate chip.
For my card I used the "Jesus paid it all" stamp set and coordinating Calvary die from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I decided to make a little scene on my Easter card. My crosses I cut with chocolate chip cardstock.
I added some grass cut from certainly celery cardstock with an MFT grass die. Added some wildflowers cut with the Memory Box "wildflower patch" die from certainly celery and white cardstock.
I cut & embossed some clouds with another MFT die and stamped my sentiments on them. My background designer paper is from Stampin-Up's "elegant soiree" collection.
It was cut & embossed with the Spellbinders Matting Basics A & B dies.
This is also for the Splitcoaststampers LoveFest2013E challenge. Jana is the hostess and she wants us to use at least one die. I used 5 of them on this card.
That's it for me for today. So until next time.......God bless.
Some other challenges:
1. Crafty Catz has a dies and punches challenge.
2. WordArt Wednesday has an anything goes challenge.
3. Twist of Faith Card Challenges wants us to use spring colors and a scripture or uplifting verse.

Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro
Contemporary, stylish and cool Yoo2 wears its London design roots proudly; a hip hangout that wouldn't be out of place in Amsterdam or Berlin. Fortunately the local street-artist murals, a rooftop pool and grandstand views all leave you in no doubt this is 100 per cent Rio.
- Doug Gray, Rio de Janeiro expert
Set on the Guanabara Bay-facing north-eastern edge of Botafogo (now jarringly referred to as BotaSoho in deference to its buzzing nightlife). Copacabana beach and its more laid-back neighbour Leme are an easy 10-minute taxi ride away. It's a similarly short hop in the opposite direction to Centro's museums and galleries, perfectly positioning Yoo2 for those keen to sample both sides of the Rio puzzle. Sugarloaf Mountain and the gorgeous Flamengo Park are on the doorstep, and the bayside bike routes are some of the most picturesque you will ever ride.
Style & character
As the first hotel from London's Yoo design studio, the interior of Yoo2 wastes no time (or space) in establishing its hipster credentials. Whether it is local street artist Marcelo Ment's full-height mural down the elevator shaft, repurposed parquet flooring on the walls or tropical designs sprawling across the bedroom ceilings, local creativity is embraced and blended with more refined and industrial-chic touches.
Service & facilities
The compact rooftop plunge pool might be the hotel's only dash of extra sparkle, but what a dash. Recline on a lounger with Corcovado Mountain to your left, Sugarloaf to your right, and Guanabara Bay fanning out below and order a cocktail from the disarmingly attentive and pleasant staff. Guided bike and jogging routes along the waterfront paths are offered, but really are best discovered alone.
- Bar
- Laundry
- Parking
- Pool
- Restaurant
- Room service
- Wi-Fi
The standard suites are well laid out, with clever use of the space leaving enough room for extra furniture from which to gaze out of the window to one of the best views of any hotel bedroom in the city. Be sure to request a high floor (above the traffic) and forward-facing room. Numbers ending eight-12 get the best front-on panorama. The complimentary Globo biscuits are a nice nod to a local snack institution.
Food & drink
The ground-floor restaurant continues the tropical rainforest theme in unsubtle fashion, with fearns invading the dining room from all angles. But concentrate on chef Marcelo Shambeck's (not inexpensive) seasonal creations and dive into classic Brazilian flavours like octopus with rich, yellow Amazonian tucupi (manioc) sauce. Shambeck is also behind the paired-down menu of the 13th-floor veranda's restaurant, while the adjacent bar has an eye-wateringly comprehensive cachaça list.
Value for money
Double rooms from £120 in low season; and from £280 in high. Breakfast included. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
There is step-free access to all communal areas of the hotel and several rooms have been adapted with wheelchair users in mind.
The hotel is pitched firmly towards young professionals rather than families.

Beauty means different things to different people. For me beauty starts inside and works it way to the external surface which is our skin. I have been a esthetician for 18 years. I love making people feel good and look better about their skin. After completing 10 months of training I went on to take advance courses in skin care. Some of which included make-up and paramedical skincare. I also was a co-owner and operator of an very successful paramedical skincare business for over 10 years. My business partner was diagnosis with cancer and after his passing I closed the business. Since than I have been selling skincare through network marketing, which I have been very successful in doing. I have also been helping young woman wanting to start a skin care business get their business plan set up and guiding them through the first year process of being a entrepreneur. My goal now is to be on social media sites to reach and teach people how to take care of their skin. I believe when you have been blessed to receive the skin care education I have you must pay it forward.

"it's understood that sentence making has more in its sights than donuts", jdr sixty (may, 2016)
"...the radio, wiped each morning, is not just the piped in externality of an otherwise hermetic laboratory but an irreducible agent, an object that mediates all those that come into contact with it. Such concerns are directly relatable to the promise of legibility, of transmission, a concern signalled by Lacey's decision to make a homeopathic remedy from a typeface designed to be read at speed. Which is to say that we are also talking about digestion. That is, we are talking about a legibility geared towards transmission, fast uptake, ease of digestion.''

REFERENCE ONLY. (SOLD or NOT FOR SALE)
For the price, you can't go wrong here. This Luftwaffe dress uniform jacket for an NCO of the Signals branch, is in stunning condition. Heavy Trikot blue wool is perfect, with no moth nips anywhere (mothing on this type of material is not common in the first place). Rank is an Oberfeldwebel, or Master Sergeant, denoted by 4 gulls on the collar tabs, and fully-tressed sew-in boards with two pips. Hand embroidered cotton droop-tail eagle indicates this is a very early tunic. Present is a 3 plac3 ribbon bar consisting of an Iron Cross 2nd class, a war Merit Cross, and the Eastern Front Campaign medal. Also present is a Luftwaffe Ground Combat medal, of zinc construction and unmarked. Also present is a "silver" wound badge, which I believe to be a period BLACK wound badge, painted silver. This could be period or post war. Interior is stamped Flugzeugfuhrerschule Horchow (not sure what flight school this is, but bears further research), and also Tragegenehmigung stamped (it's a custom tunic that is authorized for wear). An exceptional value for the money, with respect to rank, quality, and research potential.

It was a necklace that was attached to her wrists and became bracelets. I think K. Michelle from "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" wore the same body shackle chain to a club appearance. Please help me find it!"
Hey girly! I was tuned in right along with ya'all for the season premiere of "Tamar & Vince" and it was definitely fun and entertaining, to say the least! On the show Tamar interviewed potential personal assistants in a white blazer paired with a hot pink tank and a gold-toned choker necklace and bracelet chain. The one piece body jewelry is available in both gold and silver and can be found at several places, including Swank A Posh Boutique and this eBay shop.

Glam Scrambles
Found big round eggs in the fridge and realise I need to eat them - the best way to fuel up after a big night of party and champagne is with creamy soft melty eggy eggs and greasy crispy bacon. But I was so hungry and needed a quick fix, and too lazy to defrost the bacon, so i've skipped the pig.
Scrambles are one of the easiest breakfast recipe that you can eat anytime of the day yet it is so hard to find good ones out there nowadays. They always turn out too dry, flat and without flavour. Disappointing. Anyway, My quest for scrambles started 7-8 years back after I had the best one in Sydney that you got to queue for...well, Proud to say mine is just as good (To those that I've cook for would've known) But today's the ultimate. I've notched it up this time with Tetsuya's truffle sea salt.
Here is it: beat everything up.
Big fresh eggs x2 plus 1 yolk
Cream - 1-2 tablespoon
Butter - big knob
Tetsuya's truffle sea salt - to taste (not too much, u just want a hint, not over power the eggs)
Salt - to taste
Sugar - a speck
Freshly ground black pepper (only for plating)
Melt butter in hot pan to just sizzling with a slight brown.
Pour eggs in and swirl the pan. With a spoon, swirl in big sweeps. You will want the silky sheets. Watch out! Don't over cook the eggs. Plate it when it is still slightly runny, it will curdle up and continue cooking on plate.
Whala! The glam scrambles. Made a quick tomato and onion chutney to go with the eggs. Only had the local flavourless tomatoes so shall post the proper recipe next time.
Best way to cure any hangovers. Couldn't wish for anything better. With my tummy filled. Time to head to the gym! (SS)

From BluWiki
At night in the city of Byzantium, "The unpurged images of day recede." The drunken soldiers of the Emperor are asleep, and the song of night-walkers fades after the great cathedral gong. The "starlit" or "moonlit dome," the speaker says, disdains all that is human--"All mere complexities, / The fury and the mire of human veins." The speaker says that before him floats an image--a man or a shade, but more a shade than a man, and still more simply "an image." The speaker hails this "superhuman" image, calling it "death-in-life and life-in-death." A golden bird sits on a golden tree, which the speaker says is a "miracle"; it sings aloud, and scorns the "common bird or petal / And all complexities of mire or blood." At midnight, the speaker says, the images of flames flit across the Emperor's pavement, though they are not fed by wood or steel, nor disturbed by storms. Here, "blood-begotten spirits come," and die "into a dance, / An agony of trance, / An agony of flame that cannot singe a sleeve," leaving behind all the complexities and furies of life. Riding the backs of dolphins, spirit after spirit arrives, the flood broken on "the golden smithies of the Emperor." The marbles of the dancing floor break the "bitter furies of complexity," the storms of images that beget more images, "That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea."
The pronounced differences in "Byzantium"'s line lengths make its stanzas appear very haphazard; however, they are actually quite regular: each stanza constitutes eight lines, and each rhymes AABBCDDC. Metrically, each is quite complicated; the lines are loosely iambic, with the first, second, third, fifth, and eighth lines in pentameter, the fourth line in tetrameter, and the sixth and seventh line in trimeter, so that the pattern of line-stresses in each stanza is 55545335.
We have read Yeats's account of "Sailing to Byzantium"; now he has arrived at the city itself, and is able to describe it. In "Sailing to Byzantium" the speaker stated his desire to be "out of nature" and to assume the form of a golden bird; in "Byzantium," the bird appears, and scores of dead spirits arrive on the backs of dolphins, to be forged into "the artifice of eternity"--ghostlike images with no physical presence ("a flame that cannot singe a sleeve"). The narrative and imagistic arrangement of this poem is highly ambiguous and complicated; it is unclear whether Yeats intends the poem to be a register of symbols or an actual mythological statement. (In classical mythology, dolphins often carry the dead to their final resting-place.) In any event, we see here the same preference for the artificial above the actual that appeared in "Sailing to Byzantium"; only now the speaker has encountered actual creatures that exist "in the artifice of eternity"--most notably the golden bird of stanza three. But the preference is now tinged with ambiguity: the bird looks down upon "common bird or petal," but it does so not out of existential necessity, but rather because it has been coerced into doing so, as it were--"by the moon embittered." The speaker's demonstrated preoccupation with "fresh images" has led some critics to conclude that the poem is really an allegory of the process by which fantasies are rendered into art, images arriving from the "dolphin-torn, the gong-tormented sea," then being made into permanent artifacts by "the golden smithies of the Emperor." It is impossible to say whether this is all or part of Yeats's intention, and it is difficult to see how the prevalent symbols of the afterlife connect thematically to the topic of images (how could images be dead?). For all its difficulty and almost unfixed quality of meaning--the poem is difficult to place even within the context of A Vision--the intriguing imagery and sensual language of the poem are tokens of its power; simply as the evocation of a fascinating imaginary scene, "Byzantium" is unmatched in all of Yeats.

When I teach composition, I forbid my students from beginning their papers with dictionary definitions of courage or rebellion, and in the spirit of that, I will not begin this essay by defining irrational. We know what it means and we know it when we see it. Consider this: logically, we are aware that bed sheets will not prevent that imagined, nightmarish, phantom blade from slicing off our toes, and yet there are those among us who never let their feet hang off the bed uncovered, at least not consciously.
Just as with taste, there is no accounting for fear. What seems innocuous or even desirable to some can cause a series of adverse reactions in others, from increased heart rate and sweating to full-blown, crippling panic attacks. When we confess a fear to someone who, in reply, tries not to laugh, we know our fear is one that can be perceived as irrational. After all, if a fear is founded, it isn't irrational. A fear of snakes (ophidiophobia) shouldn't be classified as a phobia, since it is perfectly rational to be afraid of snakes.
Author David Sedaris has written about the difference between not liking something and actually being terrified of it in his book Me Talk Pretty One Day. He explains how people assume he has a "phobia" of technology (technophobia, cyberphobia, or logizomechanophobia, perhaps); they don't understand that he isn't afraid—he just doesn't like it! I hate possums (although, oddly, I haven't been able to find a name for this), and seeing them makes me decidedly uncomfortable, but I do not obsess about possums or the possibility of possums every time I am outside my house. I do not have a gate around my bed to deter possum intruders. When I go camping I do not bring homemade grenades to thwart any visiting possums that might drop by to see what I'm up to.
A woman who finds herself attracted to clean-shaven men rather than their more hirsute counterparts is not the same as someone suffering from pogonophobia (fear of beards). The latter, according to supposedly true accounts I have read, could experience extreme panic and exhibit physical manifestations of fear that would prevent her from being near anyone with a beard (would that include Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes?), ranging from chest pains and difficulty breathing to full panic and loss of consciousness.
I asked around for my friends' phobias and came back with myriad answers ranging from the mundane, the inexplicable, and even the truly bizarre. Dentists and public speaking are among the most often cited phobias (dentophobia and glossophobia, respectively), but let us not forget about black cats (melanophobia is the fear of the color black, while ailurophiles fear our feline friends), birds (ornithophobia), bugs (entomophobia), spiders (arachnophobia—am I the only person who read Charlotte's Web?), sharks (selachophobia), open-toed shoes, decision-making (decidophobia), and encountering spoiled milk. This question may perhaps have revealed more than I needed to know about my circle of friends, but who are we to decide what is rational?
Sarah P. lives in Minnesota and is secretly terrified that she will drive into one of the many lakes in her state and be trapped in her car. Sure, you could argue this is a scenario anyone would hope to avoid, not unlike contracting syphilis (the fear of which is termed luiphobia) or the fear of being infested with worms (known as helminthophobia). Yet while most people would not let their general distaste for an undesirable situation interfere with their lives, Sarah has let hers inform and influence her choice of cars (no power windows or locks for her!). Furthermore, she longs for "a tool for [my] car that will supposedly puncture an air bag and break a car window."
Often, those afflicted with phobias considered irrational become hyperaware of how they are viewed. For instance, when asked about such phobias, the poetic Gene T. explained, "As superstitions speak a mythos symbolic of our deeper and vaster communal sub-awareness, black cats rule my life. I have crossed streets, turned around, and shuddered at the coincidental prescience of it all when one darts out to cut my blessed path. Pussy cats!" It should be noted here that Gene shares an apartment with two very charming and good-natured brown tabbies that have been with him and his wife since kittenhood, and while the cats enjoy free reign of the bookshelves and tabletops, they are not permitted in the bedroom at night. Although Gene tries to pretend this is due to lofty ideas about personal boundaries and having private space, a USA Today survey shows that nearly 80 percent of American pet owners allow their pets to sleep in bed with them at night. If a pattern of behavior goes against the actions of the clear majority, should it perhaps be considered irrational?
Could genetics and environment play a role in the developments of phobias? Lynn H. is terrified of birds, while her older sister harbors the same feeling towards fish. Are irrational fears that begin in childhood something we are simply expected to grow out of, like playing with dolls or picking our noses? As a child, Julia B. was so convinced that toilets were actually "portals to hell" from which witches would fly at the sound of a satisfied flush that she wasn't toilet-trained until she was four. True, she grew out of this irrational fear, but it must have caused much turmoil during those formative years.
Are so many people afraid of infinity that a name must be bestowed upon it (apeirophobia, by the way)? What about blennophobia (the fear of slime), geniophobia (the fear of chins), ithyphallophobia (the fear of seeing, thinking about, or having an erect penis), and those poor venustraphobes who cower from beautiful women? Something about these phobias and the individual name of each seems to speak to an American ingenuity, the notion that every fear can be named and recognized, given equal shrift, so to speak, and included with all the others. We are a nation of egalitarian phobics.
Perhaps we can ultimately trace these reactions and phobias back to one deceptively simplistic problem: loss of control. We cannot control our lives, our surroundings, or people around us. We cannot assure ourselves that we matter, that our desires and needs affect anything outside ourselves. Nothing is certain. But there is one thing we can control, to varying degrees: our exposure to things we don't like. Therein may lie the secret source of so many seemingly irrational fears.
Note: thanks to The Phobia List for providing the names of the phobias mentioned in this essay.

nba比分espn:Labour rights
Our employees, as well as our contractors and suppliers, should work in safe, healthy, secure and fair conditions
nba比分188 www.y2w8y.com.cn Respect for employees' human rights is integral to our recruitment, management and diversity and inclusion processes. Our code of conduct requires employees to report any human rights abuses in our operations or those of our business partners.
Working with contractors and suppliers
We operate in 70 countries and have around 60,000 suppliers, with thousands more supporting them.
We expect contractors and their employees to act in accordance with our code of conduct, human rights policy and our expectations of suppliers. Our standard procurement contracts include requirements for suppliers to respect internationally recognized human rights, with a specific ban on the use of forced, trafficked or child labour.
We held supplier events to communicate our expectations on labour rights in a number of locations in 2017, including Brazil, Indonesia, Iraq, and the UK. We discussed the action we are taking, the need to raise concerns and the importance of our suppliers communicating this to their own employees, suppliers and business partners. As one example, we provided training to contractors and sub-contractor teams working on our Tangguh expansion project in Indonesia. We discussed the risks faced in our industry and emphasized the individual role we all play in spotting potential signs and reporting concerns.
Drawing on our work with industry peers, we developed a human rights due diligence process that can be used to screen suppliers in a consistent way anywhere in the world. Following a pilot of the process, we are now using it with suppliers on a risk-prioritized basis to understand how they manage these risks in their business and supply chain.
All of our workforce, and the workforces of those who support us, should be treated with respect and dignity.Bob Fryar, executive vice president of safety and operational risk, BP
Labour rights assessments
We conduct labour rights audits or assessments when appropriate. Focus areas tend to be working hours, recruitment processes, freedom of movement, employment contracts and channels for workers to raise complaints without retaliation.
Where we find an issue, we try to work with the contractor to resolve it so as to improve the situation of the people affected. If a serious breach is found and no corrective action is taken, we reserve the right to terminate contracts.
Modern slavery risk reviews
Some parts of our supply chain may pose a higher risk of labour rights and modern slavery issues than others. We take a risk-based approach to monitoring our contractors and suppliers by considering:
- countries that pose a high degree of risk, as identified by risk analytics firm Verisk Maplecroft and other data sources
- activities that rely on manual labour, such as construction, catering, cleaning and certain types of manufacturing
- factors related to the vulnerability of the workforce, such as poverty levels; ethnic, religious or gender minorities; and migrant workers.
Using this approach, we prioritized 17 businesses for modern slavery risk reviews in 2017. We then mapped our supply chain in these cases to identify high risk contractors. In some instances, this initial screening led to further assessment through questionnaires or on-site labour rights assessments, including worker interviews.
The assessments focus on key warning signs, such as passport retention, recruitment or other fees, wage deductions, employment contracts, working hours, shift patterns and living conditions.
Working with construction contractors on labour rights in Georgia
Our South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion project will transport gas from Azerbaijan to markets in Europe. In Georgia alone, around 5,000 people helped to construct three facilities and a pipeline, with around 10% of the workforce originating from other countries such as India and Thailand. Read more...
Supporting our joint venture partner in assessing human rights risks in Saudi Arabia
One of our joint ventures is setting up a plant that will blend Castrol lubricants. Our partner is building the plant, and the peak of construction will involve more than 250 workers, largely made up of migrant labour employed through four or five major contractors. Read more...

Development of Quality Assurance in Higher Education in Moldova
This project investigates and supports the development of a QA system in HE institutions of the Republic of Moldova under the conditions of a transition society and the involvement of a large number of exogenous actors in this process. A study on the needs analysis conducted in January 2011 has demonstrated that the newly established quality management structures at the Moldovan universities are not functional because of the lack of training of the staff involved, the low profile of students in QA, the low level of communication between the QA structures and the academic staff involved, the missing link between quality assurance and HE institutions' strategy development and the lack of a body that brings QA activities together and helps to implement common standards in the Republic of Moldova.
The project addresses all these challenges through (i) a series of trainings for all the actors involved in the quality cycle (quality management officers, deans, professors, students, universities' central administration) that are tailored to the specific needs in Moldova, (ii) the creation of peer networks for all the actors' groups, (iii) the internal evaluation and the international accreditation of three pilot study programmes, (iv) the creation of a pool of experts (professors and students trained and actively involved in the process of international accreditation of the selected study programmes) for the future accreditation body of Moldova and (iv) the link between quality assurance, internationalization and strategy development of HE institutions.
Apart from its pragmatic goals—to make the existing QA structures in Moldova functional and to prepare the accredited study programmes for participation in joint and double degree programmes within Erasmus for All starting in 2014—the project aims at the scientific assessment of this process in the broader context of HE institutions' transformation and the current debates on QA worldwide. In the meantime the University of Leipzig regards this project as a joint and mutually beneficial learning process for all the partners involved.

As soon as my plane landed in LA, Friday @ 2pm, I picked up my rental car, met hubby's cousin and our first stop was In and Out burger for my lunch.
Second stop was at Samy's where I bought the remote for my Nikon. I was told the cameras and electronics are cheaper in the US. But they are not! It is still cheaper in Canada.
Then we headed to downtown LA to meet hubby at his hotel @ 4pm. It was so hard to drive in LA. The roads are a bit confusing!
By 4:30pm we were on Hollywood Blvd and walk around the Kodak Theater and the Walk of fame. Spent about an hour here.
Then we proceeded to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
By 8pm we were on our way to Santa Monica Pier and had a late dinner at Third Street Promenade.
Then we drove back to the rental car 'coz I needed to add hubby as a driver for our trip to Vegas the next day.
Saturday, we left the house at 8:30am and headed for Las Vegas. On our way, our first stop was an outlet mall. I wanted to buy something nice for my 2 babysitters. Second stop was the Calico Ghost Town.
Las Vegas pictures to follow...

The Thameslink Programme is leading the way in introducing new digital railway technology that makes trains run more safely and reliably.
Investment in self-drive trains saw a world first on the UK mainline railway in early 2018.
Meanwhile, new traffic management systems are helping the Thameslink Programme to make more space for passengers and to run services more regularly on existing tracks.
Self-drive trains
Self-drive trains can run much more often thanks to a sophisticated computer system that ensures safe distances are maintained. The system sees Automatic Train Operation (ATO) used in combination with the European Track Control System (ETCS), and also results in more effective signalling.
The technology is already used on the London Underground; the Thameslink Programme is leading the way in its adoption on mainline railway in the UK. It will deliver real benefits to passengers, allowing trains to operate at a Tube-like speed of every two to three minutes across central London. This is something that is only possible with new digital railway technology.
Watch: Britain's first self-drive train
Monday 26 March 2018's 09.46 service from Peterborough to Horsham was the first ever self drive train to run automatically on a main line railway in Britain.
Traffic management
A new Traffic Management System (TMS) will speed up recovery from disruptions, help more trains run on time and cut delays. The TMS re-plans train movements in real time, helping drivers and control staff to better sequence the running order of trains. With this new digital railway technology, up to 24 trains per hour can be handled through central London at peak times between St Pancras International and Blackfriars stations.
Better, real time information
Finally, new digital railway technology also makes it possible for passengers and railway staff to see better, more up-to-date information about journeys. This is thanks to the TMS, which shows more detailed information about traffic flows across the railway network and permits station staff to update customer information displays in real-time.
Introducing new digital railway technology is just one way the Thameslink Programme is transforming north-south travel through London. We're also improving rail connections, making journeys more reliable, delivering better stations and providing new trains
