File cabinets return in many sizes, designs, and levels of quality. In addition to offering an approach to organize and access your documents, file cupboards can conjointly become versatile and useful pieces of furniture that may be utilized in almost any space of your home or workplace. You can obtain either metal or wood cabinets file. Wood, specifically solid oak, is the first engaging and durable material to appear for. It can last a very very long time and be a charming addition to your home or office.
If you can build a tall toilet storage cabinet, it can bring a lot of area utilization in your rest room. If you can create the cabinet, it can additionally add style to your lavatory to a beautiful extent. A tall bathroom storage cupboard can fit at the corner of the bathroom, without disturbing any private house. It will also work well in an exceedingly small bathroom and raise its correct utilization of space. It will act as a space for storing for the important things that you wish in your rest room and at the same time, provide the rest room a clean appearance.
Tall Wood Storage Cabinets with Doors and Shelves
If you follow the directions, you can create tall toilet storage cabinet on your own which can not cost you abundant. To start with, you will have to chop ¾ inches plywood, which will be used as cupboard items. You will live and mark the specified opening on anyone aspect piece. After that, you'll have to create plunge cuts using the circular saw and produce an opening.
The cabinet will be of two sorts- one with a door and the opposite without it. First, you may have to decide on which one you want to own for your toilet. You would like your materials accordingly. To begin with, you must recognize what materials you would like. You would like to have a medium density fiberboard, wood glue, nails, plywood, nailed, hammer and drawer pull. If you wish a door on the front of the cupboard, you would like two additional plywood doors to fit into that place. But if you do not need a door, you'll be able to remain happy with a drawer.
Tall Wood Storage Cabinets Ideas with Doors
First, you'll have to cut the perimeters, prime, and bottom up to the specified length and height of the cabinet. Then you may have to attach and nail them. To make the shelves, you will have to chop the fiberboard to size and then slide them into the respective positions. The shelves would like to be strengthened by nailing from the aspect.
Then you will have to create the drawers or the doors whichever you like to possess. After fitting them, you will have to give a nice coating of paint into them and then get them dried. Your tall lavatory storage cupboard becomes ready for use and makes your use of rest room more convenient.

Get Stuff We Love
In fashion, three words can change everything: "It has pockets."
I normally only wear dresses to weddings. I'm also a brand loyalist. Still, two nouns and a verb were enough to convince me to give one of Amazon's best-selling dresses, Unbranded* women's long-sleeved pocket casual loose T-shirt dress, a try.
Unbranded T-shirt dress, $20, Amazon
It has earned more than 1,400 reviews and a 4.3-star rating. It costs between $10-$20 (and is eligible for Amazon Prime shipping) depending on which of the 20 different colors and styles you choose. Playing it safe, I got gray. If I were bolder, I would have ordered the purple-gray swatch. And, there are also great options for people looking for a black dress with pockets or a white dress with pockets.
When the mail carrier showed up, I didn't sprint down the stairs like usual. I was nervous. The fact that it's an unbranded dress had me worried about the fit. Advertised as having a "comfy swing silhouette" that "flares to a perfect finish," it sounded too good to be true. One of the reasons I'm so brand loyal is because I like to know how something will fit. Still, it was semi-reassuring that 78 percent of Amazon reviewers found this dress to fit as expected.
First, I noticed the color was spot-on. I'm not sure how you can mess up plain gray, but you never know. Second, the jersey knit fabric felt like my favorite T-shirts. While I approved of the color and material, the fit was slightly less flattering than promised.
Unless you keep your perfectly angled legs open and your hands halfway in the pockets like the model, you probably won't achieve the perfect flaring. Still, the silhouette was flattering enough that I didn't need to wear a belt or add a vest. In fact, the first time I wore it out, I simply paired it with leggings, Sorel boots and a necklace. Within minutes of posting a pic on Instagram, I had a "Cool top!" compliment.
And since the dress only cost $19, I felt OK wearing it while walking my dog: a 150-pound Leonberger who drools more than Beethoven. And while Zeus did drool on me, I take responsibility since I'd stashed puppy snacks in the pockets. (I love the pockets, and the dress certainly looks most becoming when you have your hands in them.)
The description says to hand-wash and hang dry, but I tossed the dress into my washing machine and dryer with a load of branded non-dresses. It came out clean, and I didn't notice any change in fabric or fit. While I don't love the dress enough to order one in every color, it's hanging in my closet, closest to the door. It's pretty much a staple.
It also comes in a sleeveless version for hotter days!
Note: I'm 5'4", 110 pounds and I ordered a size small.

The Trade speculation for the Houston Texans just keeps piling on, as many experts seem dead set on the fact that Houston is not sold on South Carolina defensive phenom, Jadeveon Clowney. None of this derives from Clowney lacking the talent to claim number one pick status, it's that Clowney just does not fit Houston's defensive scheme. Khalil Mack is the ideal fit and the ideal pick, for what Houston needs. A do it all, dynamic outside linebacker would do wonders for Romeo Crennel's new defense, Mack fits that bill; but does not fit the criteria for the number one overall pick. The production for Mack is there, piling up over 28 sacks in his four years of college at Buffalo, while showing some coverage skills with four interceptions. Expert NFL analyst, Mike Mayock, will pound the table for the Texans to select a player like Mack with the first pick, Mack is the number one overall prospect on Mayock's top 100 prospects big board. Clowney is the man, the object of attraction, the trade piece of appeal; that at least three or four teams are looking to move up for. A move to the Texans first overall selection may literally cost an arm and a leg to move up to, but for a desperate team on the brink of playoff contention; the move may be worth the cost.
The Atlanta Falcons have been the team most linked to Houston when discussing possible trades for the top overall pick. A year removed from the playoffs, a hungry Falcons team is in desperate need for a dynamic pass rusher. The Texans would only be giving up five positions to move back to the sixth spot held by Atlanta, while loading up on Atlanta's later round picks; and possibly a future first round pick in next years draft with this trade. The movement backwards is not drastic for Houston, Atlanta and Clowney seem to have a mutual liking towards each other; and what's better for a new coach then having numerous picks at your disposal in this years draft and possibly the next? It's an ideal situation for both, but will be hard to accomplish. The Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, and the Minnesota Vikings have all also being rumored to have contacted Houston about the first pick as well. Browns hold the fourth pick in the draft, Bills with the ninth, and Minnesota with the eighth pick. The St. Louis Rams seem to be trying the baiting tactic with the Browns, using their new-found interest in Johnny Manziel to spark an aggressive move out of Cleveland. Buffalo has similar interests as the Atlanta Falcons, hoping to land someone like Clowney to pair up with their own star defensive end, Mario Williams. Intentions for the Vikings are unknown to why they may want to move up, they do have one of the most aggressive General Managers in Rick Spielman; anything is not off-limits when Minnesota hits the clock.
A dynamic defensive player is in need, a franchise quarterback is a priority; and a playoff bid for new coach Bill O'Brien is almost necessary. Houston has the tools on defense and offense to make noise in a somewhat pedestrian AFC South division. The Texans could only be a quarterback away from making some serious noise in their division, but so are the Titans and Jaguars. The Colts have a head start with Andrew Luck holding down the fort in Indy; but from a team talent standpoint, neither of the three other division teams are far off. If Houston can remain healthy and adapt to their new system under their head coaches, the fans may be pleasantly surprised in H town.

'Parity' in Naval Defense
"PARITY" IN NAVAL DEFENSE. "Parity" was the philosophy behind the naval armament treaties adopted at the Washington Conference of 1921 and 1922. The United States agreed to reduce its capitalship and aircraft carrier tonnage until it equaled that of the British fleet and was five-thirds the size of Japan's navy. Restrictions on Asian naval bases gave Japan near parity with Britain and America for Pacific operations. Japan consented to withdraw from northern China and to sign the Nine-Power Treaty that guaranteed Chinese political and territorial integrity. In 1936 the United States, Great Britain, and Japan failed to renew the limitation treaties when American and British delegates refused Japanese demands for naval parity in the Far East.

"It's not that simple. He's," he hesitated, "gifted, you could say. I had some skill with many weapons; he was amazing with a sword."
They opened the doors. Dieter aul Janse-Lomberg tilted his head at the intrusion, hiding his surprise well.
"Ah, brother. And is that -" he raised an eyebrow quizzically, "oh, it seems so. I don't know how you do it – you have a talent for getting yourself into difficult situations."
Hawkeye said nothing, drawing his weapon. Dieter sighed dramatically and drew his own, similarly laid-out sword. They settled into the ready positions, circling each other warily.
Dieter was relaxed but expressionless. Hawkeye was tense, tightly controlled.
The floorboards creaked under their slow twirl.
When the exchange happened, Elletra blinked and nearly missed it. Multiple metallic impacts blended into one short, sharp note.
It happened again. A blur of motion, a clash of blades. They moved so fast she saw nothing until they resumed circling.

Cheddar cheese? That's easy! ¦ Like most things worthwhile, you can find it at Mahane Yehuda. ¦ There are several stores that sell cheese in the closed side (on your left,coming from Yaffa.) ¦ I shop in one store which is right under a huge sign hanging from the roof, only because they are such nice people. ¦ There is another store further down which is cheese heaven and has ¦ several large wheels of English cheddar. ¦ (You always want "cheddar anglit", as opposed to "cheddar yisraeli.") ¦ Enjoy and save me a slice!ReplyDelete
or you can try tiv taam...they have it there as well.ReplyDelete
If you don't need Mehadrin cheese, there is a large specialty cheese shop inthe shuk (that was recently written up in the Post, in fact). Ask for theWyke Farms Village Oak Cheddar. It's from the UK and you won't bedisappointed. It's the best cheddar I've ever had.ReplyDelete

Show of hands how many people resolved to lose weight, quit smoking, get organized, work out, blah blah blah. What I want to know is where are the people who resolved to transform their sex life? If your Google searching for "How to Have Better Sex" or "Improve My Sex Life" led you here DO NOT CLICK AWAY! I'm Lisa Concepcion, a Certified Professional Love Life Transformation Coach and Founder of LoveQuest Coaching where it is my mission to help people transform their love lives into what they want and deserve it to be. I share with you 5 Hacks for Better Sex This Year.
- Learn how to "Consciously Communicate."
People say communication is everything in a relationship yet it's the most common complaint couples have. Great communication also trickles into other aspects of life especially the sex life. When you can communicate well with clothes on imagine how well you start to communicate naked. Before I became a coach, I had two decades as a marketing & public relations strategist. How we speak, the tone, the word choice all makes a difference. When people begin to get mindful about the quality of their communication they feel a much closer connection and the couple then has the ability to reach goals faster as a team. Resolving to "consciously communicate" is a big one for 2018. If you love your partner but feel something is a bit off it's probably your communication. If you want to learn how to fix this click here!
- Get clear on your ideal sex schedule.
I changed a couples game just by helping them realize that their optimal time for sex was in the morning before their 3 year old woke up. After the baby came it became all about putting the baby to sleep (a struggle) then they were too tired for sex at night. They'd fall asleep to the news. So they resolved to change up their schedule. Once the kid went to sleep by 8 or 9, mom and dad turned off all mobile devices and were winding down, finishing chores and asleep by 10pm instead of midnight. They started setting the "sex alarm" for 5 am. At first the idea of waking at 5am was out of the question. I suggested they give it a shot and see how it worked after a week. They slowly eased into waking up at 5am and by 5:30 they were in the throws of passion. GREAT SEX! Then by 6-6:30am they were up so they started to get their toddler put it in the stroller and go for power walks and runs in the mornings. Within 90 days the couple each lost 15-20 pounds and their sex life was improved. Their over all quality of life improved to because they were early to bed and early to rise. There's a reason most successful entrepreneurs swear about making the most of their mornings. Want to learn how to make time for sex click here!
- Keep a LoveBook on the kitchen counter.
Get a plain notebook and write to each other in it. Little notes, doodles, goals, compliments, add it to the book. I had a busy family keep a LoveBook, the mom started it off by writing a fast compliment saying what she loved most about her two kids and her husband. Then the kids read it and wrote not only to their parents but to each other, (kids are 15 and 12 spent more time bickering than bonding). The dad then wrote to his daughters and the mother. It became this really great way to express gratitude for one another. Also the girls loved reading notes from their dad and also seeing in writing loving words from their dad to their mother. The girls were worried their parents would divorce because everyone was disconnected and arguing. After a month of the LoveBook there was a stronger bond and a more positive family environment. This also works well for couples who aren't living together. Just keep a notebook and take turns appreciating one another, sharing jokes and funny to do's.
Get out the 2018 Calendar and pick a weekend either monthly or quarterly and have a change of venue. Pick a hotel you want to check out and look for a deal. many local hotels offer deals and discounts to locals. Pack a bag and have a sexy sleepover. Make dinner reservations right there at the hotel so you can enjoy cocktails without the hassle of driving. Arrange for a spa massage or some fun sightseeing excursion and be tourists in your own town. The change of venue will add spice to the love life. Who says you have to wait for a full on week long vacation to enjoy vacation sex. Quarterly or monthly quickie jaunts adds to the Love Tank. If you want to transform your love life and strengthen the bond even more click here!
- Get clear on your love language.
There's a reason why every great Love Coach refers to Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages. The book holds up after all these years. If your partner is buying you presents but you wish they would hug you when they come home or take your car for an oil change; your love language isn't defined and being delivered upon. You can take a 10-minute quiz for free to determine your love languages and then know exactly how to express love to your partner in a manner that resonates. Imagine saving money on gifts when a simple neck rub will do because physical touch is the love language of choice! After you take your love language quiz for free get another freebee, 30 minutes of coaching with me. Got a question. Just ask!

Fingerpicking 101
Fingerpicking is used in a lot of styles of music, notably folk and classical, but you will hear fingerpicking from time to time in rock and country as well. Always start slow and make sure every note is audible. You don't want to hear the note muted or a buzzed. This often happens from not pressing hard enough on the fret with you finger or the finger on the fret stands too low.
Quick Tip !! If you've never fingerpicked before, here's a great way to warm up the fingers for the concept. Keep all the strings open, and be sure not to press any of your fingers down on the frets.
1. Place your thumb on the 6th string.
2. Place your first finger on the 3rd string.
3. Place your second finger on the 2nd string.
4. Place your third finger on the 1 st string.
5. Go ahead and hit each note from the 6th to the 1st string and then back down.
* When looking at music that involves finger picking, you will see symbols that represent the fingers you use. They are represented by spanish words and known internationally. They are as follows…
p pulgar = thumb
i indice = index finger
m medio = middle finger
a anular = ring finger
Basic Fingerpicking Exercise #1
Let's look at fingerpicking in a C chord position.
1. Start by forming the C major chord 1st with your left hand.
2. Rest your thumb on the bass note of the chord (in this case C)
3. Put your index finger on the third string (which is G)
4. Put your middle finger on the second string (which is B)
5. Place your ring finger on the first string (which is E)
6. Now pick each note in sequence, and you have the makings of your 1st fingerpicking, using a C major chord.
Looking at it from a time signature standpoint…
Take 3/4 and play this, now that you have the fundamentals down of this pattern.
1 & 2 & 3 &

Quick Tip !! Here's a good warm up using open strings. If done correctly it will sound like "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. It's in 6/8

Far South Coast Landcare's Champions of the Catchment
Sue and Paul Balfour
Since 2006, Paul, Sue, Joshua and Matthew Balfour have farmed "Malmani", a 124 ha property near Candelo. When they arrived, the property had only a few native trees and Tylers Creek, which runs through the farm, had unrestricted stock access and weed infestations. A 20 ha hanging swamp, which provided water over dry times, was retreating through numerous nick-points.
In addition, pastures were bare and open, pH was low, and there was a reliance on nitrogen and other synthetic fertilizers.
In the past few years, the family has planted 6000 natives, established 4.5 ha of shelterbelts, fenced and revegetated 10 kms of the creek, and stabilised the erosion of the hanging swamp. They have also moved into non-synthetic fertilizers, lifted the soil pH, and seen the worm population grow.
Much of this work has been supported by the Bega Environment Management Systems, a partnership between Bega Cheese and Southern Rivers CMA.
Heidi and Bruce Davison
The Davisons started farming at Candelo in 2004. Then, their farm had a pH of 4.6, a good covering of African lovegrass and Blackberry, and little soil biology activity – indicated by the long time pasture litter took to break down. A consultant estimated $33,000 worth of dolomite and lime would help, but instead Heidi and Bruce turned to worms. They began spraying plots with worm juice and within 6 months the pH had risen to 6.5, soil biology had increased, and legumes were starting to re-establish naturally. By contrast, 12 months later, the plots given a dose of lime had not changed, and a faint layer of lime could still be seen on the surface.
Heidi and Bruce have a farm management system they call an "Integrated Natural Systems Approach". The worm juice improves the soil biology, the grasses – including African lovegrass – become sweeter and more palatable. As soil fertility rises, there are more worms and the land has a much better water holding capacity, while weeds are less of a problem. Grazing management means improved soil and animal health, to the point they no longer vaccinate and drench only once a year. In the 2009/10 drought, their heifers were growing at 1.4 kg a day on African lovegrass … a weed.
Sue McIntyre and Greg Carton
When Greg and Sue started farming oysters 14 years ago, the Pambula lake oyster industry was struggling and uncertain. The oyster growers had an "under siege" mentality and were more reactionary and adversarial than strategic and open.
Greg and Sue began by developing a partnership with Far South Coast Landcare and Southern Rivers CMA, and at the same time, mobilising local growers on the big issue of water quality. Taking a wider catchment view meant the industry needed to work at building partnerships with land use regulators, landowners and waterway users.
The Pambula Lake oyster growers recognise their role in environmental stewardship, are now a lot more pro-active in shooting for high quality estuarine water. Hey now keep communication lines open and flowing and regularly run education and training sessions.
Far South Coast Weeds Project
The Far South Coast Weeds Project began 4 years ago when Stuart Cameron – a botanist and Coastcarer – approached Bega Valley Shire Council and Southern Rivers CMA, advocating an integrated approach to coastal weeds management.
For the first time, separate weeds control agencies were brought together to create a unified effort under a single steering committee. A comprehensive weed survey of the Far South coastline was done, priority species were established, and target areas selected.
Local contractors, Bega Valley Shire staff and volunteers then carried out on-ground control. In addition, Stuart worked with local Aboriginal Land Councils to established Koori Work Crews. These have been led and trained by Stuart and take six monthly sweeps along the coast, removing such weeds as sea spurge, beach daisy and bitou bush.
Long-term landscape scale change is occurring, as with weeds under control, revegetation projects are now under way.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) 74th Annual General Meeting (AGM) urged governments to take a cautious approach when considering airport privatization. In a unanimously passed resolution, IATA members called on governments to prioritize the long-term economic and social benefits delivered by an effective airport ahead of the short-term financial gains provided by a poorly thought-out privatization.
"We are in an infrastructure crisis. Cash-strapped governments are looking to the private sector to help develop much needed airport capacity. But it is wrong to assume that the private sector has all the answers. Airlines have not yet experienced an airport privatization that has fully lived up to its promised benefits over the long term. Airports are critical infrastructure. It is important that governments take a long-term view focusing on solutions that will deliver the best economic and social benefits. Selling airport assets for a short-term cash injection to the treasury is a mistake," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA's Director General and CEO.
Currently about 14% of airports globally have some level of privatization. As they tend to be large hubs, they handle about 40% of global traffic.
"IATA research shows that private sector airports are more expensive. But we could not see any gains in efficiency or levels of investment. This runs counter to the experience of airline privatization where enhanced competition resulted in lower pricing to consumers. So we don't accept that airport privatization must lead to higher costs. Airports have significant market power. Effective regulation is critical to avoiding its abuse—particularly when run for profit by private sector interests," said de Juniac who also noted that five of the top six passenger ranked airports by Skytrax are in public hands.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge Jan. 9 lowered the terror threat alert level from orange, or high, to yellow, or elevated.
Ridge said officials were "still concerned about continuing threats," but the conditions that led to the decision to raise the alert level had passed.
"I know that we are all thankful that nothing happened. The holidays have passed. The potential danger that large gatherings present during the holidays has passed. They passed safely and without incident," Ridge said.
Ridge said that "added vigilance and security" would remain in "certain locales and certain areas within the private sector." He didn't provide specifics.
"We don't want to broadcast to everybody where we're going to be doing this, but those areas and elements within the private sector, they have already been contacted, and they understand that for the time being we want to maintain a similar level of security," Ridge said.

|The view from the boat. -Ermoupolis, Kikladhes
I just came back from one of my favorite summer destinations, the island of Syros, in Kikladhes. It was my third time there (yes, indeed!) and I had so much fun -relaxing on the beach, doing sports, drinking coctails and eating ridiculously delicious food! The best part of the vacation was spending time with some of my closest friends.

Actor, singer and model, 29 year old Joel Evan Tye also known as Sir Jet, comes from Arizona. He now lives in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA.
Joel is a working actor who studied acting with Laura Gardner at Howard Fine, comedy improv at Bang! Studio, and commercial auditioning with Mike Pointer at Hey, I saw your commercial!
A complex person, outrageous some may say, Joel is an amazing man with many hidden talents, love him or hate him, he definitely won't leave you indifferent.
It's not just because of his striking face and his awesome muscular physique, but because of his personality, his life, his passions and his body of work. You can definitely say that Joel is not your average Joe!
The difficult and extraordinary first few years of his life will shape up the rest of his life and determine who he is today as a person and also as an artist.
Brian Kaminski
Olivier Gilbert
A truly inspirational man who has made it his mission to help other people who may be going through the same issues he has faced himself for many years and help them live their lives to their full potential.
You have probably seen photos of Joel at some point or another but we wonder if you know much about who he really is, what really makes him tick and what amazing person he is.
We are absolutely thrilled at Stunning Men to be able to feature Joel and get to ask him a few questions.
Here is the interview in full
Stunning Men – Hi Joel, welcome to Stunning Men and thank you for taking part to this interview.
Joel Evan Tye – Ciao! Happy to be here friend, thanks.
SM – First of all, how do you prefer to be called? Joel or JET?
JET – I'm called both, they're both my name so I've never really been taken aback if someone was to use one or the other.
SM – OK JET, you are a recording artist but have also done modelling. What came first? The music or the modelling?
JET – The desire to be a singer came first. I was a mute, out of social anxiety and gender anxiety I recoiled into my bedroom and didn't communicate with anyone for almost ten years of my life. Then one day when I was 18, a voice in my head told me I needed to learn how to sing. It was through singing I learned how to speak, and so on.
Please take some time to read the amazing "the boy who talked like a girl"
SM – Is one more important than the other in your life?
JET – They are both expressions of a higher part of myself, so I hold them both very close to my heart.
SM – What do you enjoy the most as a recording artist?
JET – The costumes! And orchestrating a team of people on each project. Everything from creating the concept behind the lyrics, to rehearsing for live shows with dancers, to shooting the music videos, it's such a rush!
SM – You describe your music as Pop, Dance, Electronica. Could you elaborate on that?
JET – I've never really been able to stay consistent in my sound, but I always work with producers that will compose the songs with electronic elements and lots of reverb on the voice. Basically I leave the music in the hands of others and I handle the lyrics and the messages behind the lyrics.
SM - You speak Japanese and Italian. How did this come about?
JET - I started studying Japanese when I was eleven or so. I loved video games and I found out some of my favorite games were also Japanese tv shows. There is actually a japanese saturday school in Mesa, AZ, which I went to up through my junior year of high school. I continued to study Japanese in college. Truth be told I never had much practice with it and so my speaking skills are aweful, lol. The same is true of my Italian skills. I started Italian when I applied for a music major in college. I failed the entry audition, but of all the languages one studies in the music school, I really enjoyed studying italian because the vowel structure is similar to Japanese, so I took it for five semesters.
SM – You have an amazing physique. What kind of exercises do you do to keep in top shape? Do you practise any sports?
JET – I'm very disciplined in the gym. I keep a log of all the exercises I do and try to increase the weight or the amount of reps on an exercise each trip. I also do a lot of cardio to keep my spirits up.
SM – You have some amazing shots, some quite provocative but striking. Do you like being a bit 'in your face'? And is it also true as a performer?
JET – I like playing dress-up, the outfits inspire characters in me. When I perform I'm just playing pretend, and costumes with lots of skin are just easier to move in. If something I'm wearing is typically meant for girl I don't really care, if I feel awesome in it then I wear it. I try not to think about if I'm going to offend people with what I wear. The truth is, you wouldn't think it odd for a girl to wear a lot of the things I wear, so you shouldn't think it odd for me either because we're all made of a mix of masculine and feminine energies, we're all really one and the same.
SM – You have done some fashion modelling. How was that? How does it compare with fitness modelling?
JET – As I said I like playing dress up, so by far fashion is more suited to my tastes, but the poses and whatnot for fitness modeling are instinctual to me when I get in front of the camera, and people enjoy my fitness work, so I enjoy doing it from time to time.
SM – Is there a photographer you haven't worked with and would really like to and why?
JET – Annie Leibovitz, because she has an incredible imagination.
SM – Your work is very edgy and includes a fair amount of nudity. How important nudity is for you in your work?
JET – To be truthful, when I modelled nude for photographers I did not know it was considered inappropriate or something people didn't do at the time. I lived a very sheltered life so the idea of pornography was alien to me, other than the fact that porn was a type of sex video. I didn't know nude modelling was considered porn or that my photos would be interpreted that way. Historically, nude images in sculptures and paintings were a part of human culture, and so I was not aware that we as people consider the photograph of the human body any different. Not to mention, we all have a body, we've all seen our bodies nude, so it was odd to me that we would find an image of another's body shocking. When I was being photographed nude it didn't feel any different to me than when I was modelling with clothes, except in this case I was more conscious of the position of body parts the way I was previously conscious of the flow of fabrics. If one wants to be comfortable in a nude shoot, one first needs to be secure with his or her own body, never judging it as bad in any way and aware that he or she is equal to all, for all are in ownership of a body. Next, he or she should recognise that he or she has been chosen to be the subject of a work of art, and that should be inspiring, for how wonderful is it to know you are being considered a masterpiece?
SM – Do you have any role models in the music or modelling world? People who inspired you?
JET – Madonna is a huge inspiration to me because she manifests everything she imagines and has an incredible work ethic and health regiment.
SM – If you weren't a recording artist, what would you be doing?
JET – One of those Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I really like their shoes and going out to lunch.
SM – You have a website. Could you tell us what we can expect to see there and what we would learn about JET?
JET – My current hub site is www.iamsirjet.blogspot.com. It's a blog where I share things I've learned through experience or read that I want to share with people. The material is in conjunction with my upcoming ebook: I'm Enough: How to Live Life Like a Popstar and Find Your True Self in the Process. I was criticized and told what to do most of my life, people telling me I wasn't good enough, wasn't talented enough, wasn't good looking enough, etc., and my response was simply "I am good enough, and you would see that if you allowed yourself to feel like you were good enough too." The book is about how we can take care of ourselves and become able to accept everything and everyone that comes our way so that our life experiences are always harmonious.
SM – Do you have any motto you live by?
JET – My mind is a center of Divine operation, and Divine operation means expansion into something better than has gone before. - Thomas Troward
SM – Now a few fun personal questions if we may? Do you think you are a good date?
JET – I sure am, put out almost every time!
SM – What kind of clothes do you like wearing when you are not performing?
JET – Pretty much toned-down versions of my performance clothes: tight shirts that emphasize my cleavage, jeans that hug my legs, shoes that have a little bit of lift, belts with large buckles, gothic and fetish jewelry, and of course plenty of black eyeliner and glitter nail polish.
SM – What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
JET – I thought I could act like a normal guy for commercial auditions. I tried this about 10 times before I realised it was impossible.
SM – Are you a brief man or a boxer kinda guy?
JET – Thongs
SM – What do you listen to on your iPod?
JET – Anime theme songs and kpop. My current faves are Kara's "Step," 4Minute's "Highlight," and the soundtrack to the series "Nana."
SM – One last question JET, where do you see yourself and what would you like to be doing in 10 years time?
JET – I'm a mainstream global pop icon living in a stream of abundance and positive productivity. I travel all around the world performing in sold-out concerts, helping people with my music and image, inspiring them to live their lives to the fullest and feel awesome.
SM – Thank you so much for answering our questions and for being such good sport. All the best with your life and careers!

Stunned no one has started this one!
Love to see Dawson come in; amazing form must be rewarded!
Keep Reid out; Sinclair must be keep in, reward for effort and will be great for his confidence.
Sinclair stays. Dawson must be given a run due to multiple standout BOG efforts, in place of Robinson who had his colours lowered Saturday.
Reid a managed game in the ressies to make sure he's over groin tightness?
OUT: Mitchell getting 40 touches
IN: Tagging role for Kizza
I think the reason no one started this thread sooner is because there is no real need for any changes. I'd love to see Dawson given a chance but am also happy to go in unchanged.
The only other thing I'd like to see changed is the instructions to mark Hawks players one on one to stop their uncontested play.
I called for Robinson out last week and the Swans didn't listen.
Doubt Dawson will get a run at this time in the season, though I'd love him to.
Probably Florent in.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
It's weird to hope for an established player to be injured/unavailable this week, but I kind of hope Reid needs one more week to make sure his groin is fine. It's impossible to drop Sinclair this week but I don't think this weekend's game is the one to be messing with the structure of the side. If Callum comes close to repeating his efforts of last weekend, the coaches are going to have to think about whether the team can work with one extra tall for the rest of the year, or if they send Reid to play alongside Tippett in the NEAFL side. Just as possible is that Sinclair has a more modest outing against the Hawks and then the coaches just need to decide which of the three tall blokes gets to play in the senior side.
The weather will play a part with team selection. Currently the forecast is for showers in the morning so hopefully it clears by the game. You never know with the weather down here!
Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
There's no NEAFL game this week but given some of the opposition in recent weeks a intense training session would probably suffice in keeping the fringe players in form
Maybe the Swans ressies coaching has improved dramatically; maybe the calibre and preparedness of recruits for firsts standard football is higher... I'm unsure.
I do remain convinced that the NEAFL standards haven't improved.
Any thoughts on this guys?

SoftPerfect RAM Disk Desciption:
A RAM Disk application that lets you have a drive on your PC entirely stored in the memory. As RAM is much faster than physical disks, it is better to store temporary data on a fast in-memory disk for higher performance and longer HDD or SSD life.
SoftPerfect RAM Disk is a high-performance RAM disk application that lets you have a disk on your computer entirely stored in the memory. As the memory is much faster than physical hard disks, it makes sense to store temporary data on a fast in-memory disk to achieve a higher performance and a longer life of your HDD or SSD.
The program creates a virtual disk residing in the computer RAM accessible in Windows Explorer and other applications, allowing you to store any temporary information on this disk. Furthermore, Windows can be configured to use the disk for temporary files, so the system and most applications will use the fast in-memory disk for temporary data. As Windows and third-party applications often create a large number of temporary files for a short time only, using a RAM disk will extend your hard disk's life by sparing it from excessive reading and writing.
Modern computers are equipped with at least 1 GB of RAM, however most of the time there is a lot of unused memory that could be used as a high-performance alternative to the slower hard disk storage. This product lets you create any number of virtual RAM disks limited only by the memory available. You can also work with on-disk images and RAM disks associated with an on-disk file that ensures your data is preserved between sessions.

19 months
Baby J started off the month really sick. He got healthy just to get sick again, but this time with puking. It feels like he spent more time this past month at home than at daycare. Because of that, he hasn't been to the doctor for his 18-month appointment yet so I'm still not sure exactly what he weighs or how tall he is. All I know is that he's growing out of another pair of pants every day.
- Baby J's bottom eye teeth have been right under the gums this whole month but still haven't poked through.
- He has no problem reaching things on counters which has made us expand our baby proofing.
- He now plays with J's DS. He can open and close it and knows which way to hold it.
- We got him new shoes which he loves and his aunt SJ got him super cute rubber boots. He often asks to wear his shoes and his boots.
- He loves splashing in puddles.
- He can identify all the characters in Dora and all the animals in Brown Bear book. He can also pick out whatever book you ask him for.
- He hates having dirty hands and will hold out his hands for you to wipe them and say HANDS
- Thanks to his everlasting runny nose, he's learned how to blow his nose but half the time he breaths in instead of blowing.
- He loves the camera and will ham it up for a picture. J also let him use the camera so he walks around like a little photog.
- Some new shows this month since we got so sick of Dora: Caillou, Sesame Street and some movies.
- He can identify buses and firetrucks (both pass by behind our house) and says BUS or makes a firetruck noise.
- He loves playing outside.. bubbles, chalk, his red truck, toys that belong to the neighbour kids, balls.
- He calls for our neighbour Abby.
- Normally getting Tylenol or Advil into him is a big deal but J was able to give him drugs easily after explaining that medicine would make him feel better. Incredible.
This past month has been incredible for the amount of new words Baby J can say. Every day is something new. His communication and understanding are getting better too.
- JU for juice, TRAY, SANDY (our cat), BABY, CHEERIO, POOP, ELMO, SARAH, ABBY, PLEASE, THANKYOU, MUH or MUCK for milk, SHOOS for shoes, GOODNIGHT, STRAWBERRY, HELP, CAT, PHONE, firetruck noises, GRANDMA, GRANDPA, CUPCAKE, BOOK, MOMMY, CLICK, HELP, POOF when he takes his hat off, OUTSIDE, TICKA-TICKA when he wants to be tickled, PANTS, CHIN, GOODBOOK after finishing a book, BOOK, CAR, SHHH with a finger on his nose, TRUCK, FORK, ME and points to himself, {his sister's name}, MY TURN, MORNING, NIGHTNIGHT
Being sick really affected how much Baby J was eating. More specifically, the amount of solid food went down and his milk consumption went up. Some days he survived on milk alone and some meals he ate only goldfish. He still loves strawberries and asks at the beginning of each meal for cupcakes. Thankfully he's tricked by chocolate bran muffins.
Baby J still absolutely loves his baby sister. He hugs her but then shoves her away. He's learning that she doesn't want goldfish or cereal and that he has to be quiet when she's sleeping.
I will have Baby J's actual weight and height after his appointment next week. He has grown out of almost all of his 12-18 month stuff and even some 18-24 month stuff. He is wearing size 6 shoes and size 4 diapers, 5s at night.
Obviously the biggest thing this past month was the leaps and bounds Baby J took with his vocabulary and communication. Every day we look forward to what he's going to come out with next.

If you read my post back in the summer about the first GM Events fashion show *here*, you'll know that the team have well and truly put Milton Keynes on the fashion map. Yet again, the team brought us a fantastic show with great local brands showcasing their best designs. From local boutique stores through to individual designers who are destined to make it big on the fashion scene, there was a little something for everyone.
We were greeted by a lovely champagne and canapé reception – I especially loved the little bags of Thorntons chocolates! Such a cute touch!
This time the team set up stands for the brands in the main room (as opposed to last time where they had a separate room), I really liked it altogether as it created a great atmosphere in the room as people were drinking lovely drinks and having a little peruse around the stands.
Take a moment to look at how awesome the catwalk looked with all the beautiful autumny leaves around it, completely setting the scene for the show ahead…love it! 🙂
Now, are you ready for some fabulous fashion pieces!? Here goes…
How bloomin' stunning does everything look!? It was such a fantastic show once again! Thank you to the GM Events team for inviting me along. I simply can't wait for next year's shows!!
If you fancy keeping up-to-date with the GM Events team, their next fashion shows and everything else they get up to, then here are the all important links you need…

By Kathy S.
I have somewhat oily skin with redness and itchiness around the nose. Since I'm 58, I sure want my skin to feel plump and firm, so I look for products that not only address my annoyances but also aging skin. Your Best Face Balance ($49 in the shop) promised to do just that, so I was delighted to test and review it. I ended up loving this cream!
The formula was recently reformulated to better address irritated and problematic skin. It features a "cutting edge" peptide solution called Telangyn. It's a tetrapeptide specifically designed to decrease the appearance of facial redness and telangiectasia induced by an excessive inflammatory response, according to the cosmetic company. So essentially it is made to treat redness, dilated capillaries, and skin disorders like rosacea.
Probably my favorite ingredient in Balance, though, is the olive squalane. According to the TIA website, squalane has miraculous healing properties, which is probably why my skin felt so good and nurtured from the instant I began using this cream. The formula still includes ingredients that help absorb excess oil and reduce the frequency of blemishes and skin flare-ups, as well as the calming blend of bisobolol, panthenol, lavender and etc.
I used Balance once a day for a month after cleansing my face. When I first applied the product, it felt soothing and rich, and yet it was very light and didn't leave a greasy feel or weigh down my skin. The product absorbed immediately, but my skin felt firm, plump and deeply hydrated all day long.
I was excited to use Balance to see if it would alleviate the redness in my skin, and I think it did just that. It provided comfortable hydration for my oily skin and a calming effect on areas that tend to feel tight and itchy.
I look forward to the continued use of this product and am hopeful for long-term results. If your skin is prone to redness, irritation or oiliness, then I highly recommend trying this product.

Young Money rapper Widner 'Flow' Back In Jail For Double Murder
In July, Young Money rapper Widner "Flow" Degruy was arrested for second degree murder in connection to a double slaying that happened in New Orleans over Memorial Day weekend.
Surveillance cameras show Flow and an accomplice possibly fleeing the scene after brothers Kendrick and Kendred Bishop were shot to death in their vehicle.
Additionally, police say Flow was caught on an officer's body camera returning to the scene of the crime to pick up a phone he had dropped.
Flow had been able to post the $500,000 bail soon after he was arrested. (Some reports say Lil Wayne put up the money.)
He was re-arrested on Friday, along with his girlfriend, on additional charges including obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
His new bail is set at $3.5 million.
In 2013, Flow was brought in on charges of attempted first degree murder. However, prosecutors dropped that case when witnesses failed to show up to testify.

If your like me I want my kids to eat as healthy as I can provide them not to add the easiest way. When I first started feeding my now 2.5 year old "real" food, some awesome Mom on my Babycenter board had this recipe on and you best believe I was trying it. I come across Mom's all the time and I tell them about this recipe and they can't believe how healthy and easy it is and not to add excited. So here I am happy to help you Mom's out there, and Hey! This could be a total healthy breakfast for yourself.
So first I get a banana I like to use a yellow still a bit green one. I find my son likes these pancakes better than when I use a ripe one or an over rip one. When they are too ripe they get really mushy and don't turn out so much like a pancake and they end up a mess. Then I mash up the banana with a fork. After mashing I turn on the stove to low-medium not quite medium heat. and I put a small spoonful of Coconut oil in it. I use coconut oil because not only is it healthy but my father-in-law insists coconut oil or raw coconut help with viruses and I'm all about the natural way to keeping my boys healthy so what harm can it do.
Then I add one egg. I use organic eggs because of all the additives and hormones in regular eggs. I really love GreatDayFarms eggs because they are not organic but they do not have any hormones or antibiotics given to the hens and they come with more and are a bit cheaper than the organic kind. I can never find them in any of my local stores besides Walmart.
Then I add my cinnamon. I kind of just throw what I think is enough in it. My son and I love cinnamon so we are always loading it up. So if it seems like a lot use less.
Then you are going to mix, mix, mix, mix it all up. If only you can hear my son and I singing that. He is too darn cute.
Then put it in your pan and start to cooking. I leave it on one side until it is firm enough for me to flip it.
Yes I know these are not the prettiest pancakes ever. But pretty doesn't matter to my son.
Then let them cool for about 5 minutes and serve. I let them cool this long because they are HOT and you don't want to be giving these to your toddler while so hot.
I cut them up for my son because well for obvious reasons on his favorite plate.
Next give them to your toddler and wait for them to devour! Don't mind my sons 2 forks he wants a big boy fork but won't give up his little boy fork. So I make my son 2 and if I let him he would probably eat 3! The kid is a bit picky through out the rest of the day so I always make sure to fill him up at breakfast time. Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal right? I hope you all enjoyed this easy meal plan. Follow my blog and look for more easy recipes!
"But He answered and said, It is Written Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

Cannot seem to adjust to the ink image after 40 years in silver. It works perfectly and looks perfect except for some very faint bright marks on the top near the front edge. I tried to capture this in one of the photos I'm posting. I darkened the image a little and increased contrast it's possible to see them. Charger, battery, car 12v charger cord and strap are all included. It also comes with the Thumbs UP accessory that fits in the hot shoe. The original box and packaging is all there.

Wed Apr 26, 2017
CHARLOTTE, Michigan - Spartan Emergency Response, a business unit of Spartan Motors, Inc. has announced the opening of its fire apparatus and fleet vehicle Refurbishment Centers to meet industry needs for a cost-effective approach to repair out-of-service, damaged and worn trucks in weeks or months for typically half the cost of a new vehicle. Details of the operations will be on display at the Fire Department Instructors Conference International April 24-29, at Spartan Motors' booths #3037, #4007 and #4321, at the Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium, in Indianapolis.
With seven centers and 35 bays located across Spartan campuses in Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Wisconsin, Nebraska and South Dakota, the process offers a complete range of services and refurbishments from light repairs and refreshes to full cab and chassis replacements and re-certifications. While keeping safety top-of-mind, refurbishments can include new ladders, pump replacements, fixture repair or replacement, insurance repair work, new chassis or any combination for departments or municipalities looking for a cost-effective way to upgrade their fleet without the capital expense associated with purchasing a new vehicle.
"Departments across the country are battling aging fleets and trucks out of service," Spartan Motors President and CEO Daryl Adams says. "The country is asking its emergency response vehicles to not only last longer, but to perform more reliably over a longer period of time. There is a huge need for efficient and economical fleet repair that keeps our first responders safe on the way to and from a fire or rescue. That's why Spartan is introducing its Refurbishment Centers. From the minute our customer's truck pulls into our Refurbishment Center's service bay, we're on the lookout for how to improve safety, increase performance and ensure we stay within their budget."
In addition to the debut of its Refurbishment Centers; at FDIC Spartan will display its S-180 Pumper – representing Spartan's custom-built pumper lineup manufactured and delivered in half the time of any competitor – as well as: two Spartan Gladiator cabs and chassis; a Transformer pumper; a 100-foot rear mount platform; a UST elliptical tanker; an IPS pumper; a 105-foot tractor drawn aerial; a 75-foot rear mount aerial; a 100-foot mid-mount platform; a UST wet side tanker; and custom rear-, side- and top-mount pumpers. Spartan will display in booths #3037, #4007 and #4321, showcasing Spartan cabs and chassis and complete apparatus, as well as Smeal and UST products.

When searching for your perfect home, sometimes it's easy to get caught up in what you want, and forget about what your pets (aka your furry, scaly, or feathered family members) might need, or at least appreciate. If your pet really is a part of your family, you want to be sure to treat them that way and make sure that the home of your dreams is their purrfect home, too.
If you're moving to a different area, especially another state, make sure you look into local rules and regulations regarding pets. If you're dealing with homeowner's associations, for example, there might be size or breed restrictions. It's also worth noting that some cities have breed-specific legislation, too.
If you have a dog, it's a good idea to bring him with you before you make an offer on the house. Take a walk around the neighborhood and be on the lookout for dog-friendly parks or trails. Keep an eye out for aggressive dogs that might cause trouble. If you encounter fellow dog-walkers, you can inquire about living in the neighborhood and any potential problems you could face (such as problems with wild animals).
Look for the nearest vet, pet store, groomer, and any other pet services you may need when you relocate. Check out local stores and businesses and see how pet-friendly they are—some may allow pets inside.
In the event you're moving to an area with a longer commute to work, keep in mind how long your pets will have to go between potty breaks and meals.
Does the house have a backyard? If so, is it safe for your pets? A fenced in yard can be a plus, especially if the house is situated near a busy road. If the road is busy, is the yard/house secure enough to keep the pets out of trouble? These are especially important for dogs or cats who spend time outside.
Check the yard for poisonous plants and other hazards. The Humane Society has a list of common plants that are poisonous to pets, if you want to brush up on your botany.
When looking for a new home, comfort is key—not just for you, but for all members of your household. In your search, make sure you ask yourself if the space can work for everyone. Is there room for your pets to relax? Where can you put the cat tree, dog bed/crate, fish tank, etc.?
Flooring can also play an important role in your pet's adaptation to the home, but may be overlooked. Is there carpeting? Those carpets can absorb pet odors. Is there tile or another slick surface? If you have an older dog, he might have trouble walking on it without slipping. Does entry into the home require going up steps? Will your pet be able to handle these steps, especially as they age?
When you find the one, make sure you take the necessary steps to help your pet transition come moving day. Keep an overnight bag packed of all your pets' necessities and keep it with you so you aren't digging through boxes looking for food and toys.
Inform your real estate agent what pets you have as soon as you start looking for a home so he or she can help you find the perfect home that works for every member of your family!

Article No.: 11-4
Article Title: A Recipe for Performance Support
Author: Michelle Litmer, M.A., PHR
Guest Columnist
If you need to find a recipe for a special occasion, you may pull
out a family favorite, look through a cookbook, or search the
Internet. Most recipes give directions on how to prepare one
particular dish. Similarly, the majority of training courses
(classroom, eLearning, etc.) give our employees instructions for
completing a task, using a system, or improving a soft skill.
If you choose a recipe from Rachel Ray, you will learn more than
instructions for preparing one certain dish. Ideally, your
employees should learn more than how to complete one task; in a
training event, your employees should learn tools that can help them
once they leave training and return to the job.
Rachel Ray includes performance support in her cooking. She provides simple, practical tips that you can use as you prepare other meals in the future. For example, Rachel Ray explains that a palm full is roughly equivalent to 1 tablespoon. This trick can save you time measuring precisely for the rest of your cooking life. Rachel Ray describes how you can effectively use "pockets of time." If part of the meal has to sauté for 15 minutes, she suggests you prepare that part first, so you can work on something else while it is sautéing.
In her January article, Dr. Linda Gravett recommended that we, HR professionals, focus on human resources development. "Think about how you can leverage the skills, knowledge and abilities of your workforce to meet the needs of customers and potential customers." Dr. Gravett did not merely suggest that we teach our employees a new skill but suggested that we help our employees leverage their skills to meet customer needs. We need to ensure that our employees apply the skills that they learn.
Often, we perform an analysis and determine that our employees have a particular need. We consult with Subject Matter Experts and employees in question. We develop a training class to teach a particular skill. We invite the employees to the course, send them out into the world, and wait to observe the results of our successful training.
The missing link is performance support. If employees are given tools that they can easily remember (e.g. a palm full = a tablespoon), they are more likely to successfully apply the knowledge or skills they learned in training. We want to make sure our employees can appropriately handle the scenario we taught in class. We also want to know that they can successfully handle other related scenarios. Rachel Ray gives us tricks to prepare a variety of recipes in the future. For us to give our employees tricks to handle a variety of situations in the future, we need to give them tools. Here are a few examples of performance support:
- New Employee Orientation: A one page job aid that reminds an employee of all the tasks s/he must complete within the first 6 months of employment.
- Financial System: A one page sheet that lists the top 5 most commonly performed tasks and a web address of where to find more detailed information about the financial system.
- Public Speaking: A card that can be linked to your employee badge that includes the top 3 points to include in a speech.
You may think performance support sounds old school. It's
true, people have used performance support in their everyday lives
for years. My friend's Mom always carried a tip card since she
could not quickly determine a certain percent of a total. With
today's technology performance support can be used in a variety of
ways. Any of the examples I discussed could be put in an
electronic format so they could be accessed via a portable device.
The key for performance support is for it to be easily accessible.
The next time you determine how to help your employees best leverage their skills, think long term. If you decide on developing a training course, take a little time to think about what follow-up performance support tools you will include in the course. Think about how you can help employees use the knowledge that they learn in the future. Instead of teaching employees how to handle one specific situation, cook one recipe, give them the tools to handle a variety of situations.
