For Construction: Solid Bamboo Poles are the best quality and the strongest's bamboo in the world. It is often the case that the effect of a Thai home can be undermined by fencing in the grounds that is made of brick or plastic. Bamboo can be cut into half or quarter strips and stacked to make heavy duty fencing. Bamboo can also be cut into thin strips and woven together to make the filling part of the fence. Such outdoor buildings and concrete sections as sheds, power transformers and pool equipment can be hidden and beautified with bamboo fencing. It is a low cost and possible DIY option that makes a lot of sense for a Thai home.But the rolls and panels also come in woven bamboo, which is made of smaller canes held together in bundles. Another fencing style is split bamboo, which, as the name implies, is made of the outer surface of the bamboo cane tied together with wire. If you have a chain-link fence already in place, it is easy to install a rolled bamboo fence on top of the pre-existing chain-link. This style of bamboo fencing is especially good for temperate climates because it is lightweight and strong.There are also a growing number of independent fencing companies all eager to get your businesses knowing that when exposed to the elements wooden fencing will not last forever and will eventually need replacing. The wood used in Heavy duty vertical boarded fencing is of a much higher quality and usually pressure treated with a high quality preservative such as 'Tanatone' before assemble making the panel last longer, these high grade panels are also much thicker so don't rattle in the wind or blow out during storms.bamboo fencing ideas cannot come into direct contact with the ground or it will begin to deteriorate. To avoid this problem, it's a simple matter to add wood along the bottom of the fence, so it fits under the bamboo fence garden panels. Another way to make use of split fencing is to attach it to an outside wall and create an attractive focal point for your porch or patio. Bamboo that is split works especially well on wooden fences because it can lie flat against the fence boards. It's a good idea to use stainless steel staples to avoid rust spoiling the appearance of the fencing. When applying rolled bamboo panels to a chain link fence, the process is simple.Bamboo fences also work great keeping unwanted visitors out of the vegetable garden. And if you use bamboo fence panels, which are pre-made in sections, installation becomes a breeze. Compare the cost of a bamboo fence to either a wooden or a plastic molded fence. And since bamboo will give you similar elements in terms of privacy and appearance, it is certainly the most inexpensive option. After treatment, bamboo is a very hard wood but it is also light and very tough.

Have you ever wondered after looking at a tag on your sweater, what is Angora Rabbit Hair? Angora Rabbit Hair comes from a breed of rabbit that sprang up in Turkey. Angora Rabbits are known for their "long, soft wool" and were pets of "French royalty" during the "18th century." Almost everyone say that Angora Rabbit Fur is "softer than cashmere."
They can live to be 10 years old or more and are only fed commercial rabbit food because it meets all of their nutritional requirements. There are four different breeds of Angora Rabbit.
The English breed is tightly spun and is very popular for show because of its astonishingly luxuriant fur on the face and ears. They weigh anywhere between 5 and 7.5 pounds. They are groomed daily.
The French breed is 7.5 – 10.5 pounds and has fur that can be colored more because of the guard ration of the fur. They get groomed once a week.
The Satin Angora breed weighs anywhere between 6.5 – 9.5 and has a "shiny and satiny" feel to its fur. This breed's fur can also be colored and is recommended more by spinners because of how easy it is to spin it.
The Giant Angora breed can weigh 10 to 20 or more pounds. It is the largest breed and the fur has to be trimmed off carefully unlike the other breeds that shed or molt. They get the angora carefully by using scissors in what is called "scissor harvesting." The Angora Rabbits are not harmed in any way and they enjoy the constant care.
The Angora Rabbit wool can be dyed different colors and are delightful to spinners because the wool is strong and soft at the same time allowing the spinner to finish the process faster. It is mixed with other fabrics including, cashmere and sheep's wool no more than at a 30% ratio because if an item was made out of 100% Angora Rabbit, it would be too hot and the texture would be too delicate to wear. Angora wool holds dye color permanently better than other wool fabrics.

As the online gaming world grows, the prize pools and variety offered with slots tournaments are also growing. In fact, you can now find mobile slots tournaments with massive prize pools in a number of different formats. But this is where the confusion begins for some players since they aren't exactly clear on how different tournaments work in mobile slots. Keeping this in mind, here is a quick look at the various slots tourneys you'll find at casinos and how they work.
One-Time Buy-In Slots Tournaments
One of the most common types of tournaments found in the mobile slots world is the one-time buy-in event. As the name implies, players need only pay a one-time buy-in to enter the event and compete for the prize pool. For example, a slots tourney might charge a £10 buy-in fee and offer players a £1,000 prize pool.
In these tournaments – as well as the others we're going to discuss – a leaderboard determines who earns a share of the prize money. So in our aforementioned £1k tourney, the top 20 players might get a piece of the pool. As for moving up the leaderboard, you simply play mobile slots just like non-tournament-style action, and try to collect as much money in the allotted time period as possible. Money earned during one-time buy-in mobile slots tournaments is used solely to determine leaderboard positions and does not represent what you'll actually receive.
Freeroll Slots Tournaments
Freerolls attract masses of mobile slots players because, well, the entry is free. In many cases, the only requirement for a freeroll slots tournament is that you register before the start time. There are also freeroll events that offer restricted entry to certain VIP level members. In any case, freeroll slots tournaments are extremely popular among players because they provide a chance to win money without risking anything. But do note that many of the open-entry freerolls are jam-packed with players, so don't expect to make money easily.
Rebuy Slots Tournaments
Many mobile slots tournaments see players eliminated from an event when their bankroll runs out; in regular tourneys, this means the end of the line. But in rebuy slots tournaments, you have the option to buy back into the event for the original buy-in price. For instance, if the buy-in was £20 and you lost your tournament bankroll, you could pay another £20 and buy-in with a fresh starting bankroll. These types of events add an extra strategy element into the equation because you have to decide how many times a tourney is worth rebuying into before the situation becomes unprofitable.
Sit and Go Slots Tournaments
Up to this point, all of the tournaments we've described run on a schedule. But sometimes mobile slots players don't want to wait around for a scheduled tourney, which is where sit and go's come into the equation. These events start as soon as the required number of entrants is met, and all players need to do is register and wait around until enough other players enter. Prize pools are pretty small in the majority of sit and go slots tournaments, but most people don't mind because of the convenience offered here.
Slots Tournament Strategy
Now that we've covered the different types of mobile slots tournaments, it's worth going over a little strategy for playing these. The most important thing to do involves making sure you're ready beforehand. So you must first realize that most tournaments are under a time limit, and players need to spin the reels quickly in the beginning so they can get out to a good lead. Secondly, many tourneys see players compete on a number of different mobile slots games. So, for instance, if you were set to play Incredible Hulk, Bejeweled and Fantastic Four slots, you should familiarize yourself with these games beforehand.
Another point that we'd like to make in regards to slots strategy has to do with bankroll management. Just like with regular mobile slots, you can't afford to spend too much money on a single tournament. So if you've got £200 to play with, don't spend £50 on a single tourney buy-in. Instead, buy into smaller events so that your bankroll lasts longer, and you get to keep having fun playing mobile slots tournaments.

After a few times of rescheduling their session (due to the lovely Vancouver rain!), Brenda and Mitchell finally found the perfect day to have their couple session. Lonsdale Quay was the setting, which also happens to be their neighbourhood. The Quay and surrounding area is always a great place to photograph and has so much variety of textures and backgrounds. Brenda and Mitchell are lovely together - and we loved Brenda's flowing dress and how it caught the light! We are looking forward to your BIG DAY at the Hart House this weekend!

In January I wrote that Jason had recently broken his leg, and that he should be healed in plenty of time for our trip. And he would have been, had he not broken it again--in 5 places!--just weeks after getting off his brace from that first break!! After a much bigger surgery and longer in a cast, unfortunately he has definitely had to pull out of this year's trip. It's a disappointment and a worry, not to mention that he's long tired of crutches and knee scooters and the pain.
So that, in part, has kept me from documenting our work this year. We've fund-raised as usual and we have 13 people going to Honduras in a few days, and we have 13 cases filled with an outfit and shoes for each kid at the Project, as well as school supplies and personal items, all donated by members of our church. We're ready to get going!
Some of the prayers I ask for are below. Please feel free to pray as you feel led.
- For our family members at home, for their health and well-being, and that we can focus on being available to be used by God, uninhibited by worries and anxieties from home.
- For the children at the project, for their well-being, for their openness to us, and that we can show them God's love through our work, play and the donations we bring them from the church.
- For the staff and for the project as it goes through a period of financial need; for wisdom and discernment in their leadership so they are always following God, and doing right by Him as that will always lead to doing right for the children.
- For our group to be able to work well together and to embrace the opportunity to renew each day in Christ, seeing each other and the children through the eyes of Christ so that we may love and give ourselves generously.
- For Debi and me to be open to the Spirit's promptings, open to our
team's needs, guiding them and helping them as needed, and for other
members of the team to be able to lead where their skills and gifts are
- For our preparation time, and for safe travel, there and back.
- For joy--that we experience joy in our service, enjoy our time with the children, that we represent God to all those around us as One who wants us to enjoy life as well as serve Him through loving others.

You have to grasp when somebody is performing primarily based on their human conscience, or when they're influenced by their anti-conscience, which is the primitive side of their conscience. He said the coalition's method forward would come with presenting the same memorandum to provincial leaders of the ANC and Parliament's portfolio committee on well being. Hospitals and clinics: Psychologists may also work within the health services, the place they will use their knowledge to help treat individuals for issues from nervousness to addiction.
On Thursday, the House Health and Welfare Committee accepted a bill to let some mentally unwell Kentuckians be ordered by judges into outpatient medical therapy, a step shy of institutionalization, with public defenders representing them at hearings and caseworkers monitoring their day by day progress. The construction of our hospital's programs ensures all of the patients receive age-acceptable therapy related to individual therapy, group remedy, recreational remedy and medicine management. It is a posh and delicate problem in speaking about psychological health being a neurological illness that has implications for one's faith.
It is unfortunate that this nation does not have inexpensive healthcare which includes entry to mental health remedy.

As a mental well being supplier, I am usually assessing the warning indicators after-the-truth, to create an intervention or treatment plan.

After a lengthy period on the sidelines, Jack Wilshere seems to be finally finding his feet on the pitch, much to the delight of the fans. The English international was as impressive as anyone else on the field with an assist to his name in Arsenal's victory over BATE Borisov.
One moment that seemed to have caught the eyes of the Arsenal fans in particular was when the Arsenal number 10 controlled a high ball with a silky first touch.
The fans were immediate with their comparison of Wilshere's exquisite touch with that of Zinedine Zidane. Perhaps a bit of an over fetched idea, but that sure doesn't take the credit away from Wilshere.
Take a look at the lovely control from the midfielder:

|Kayaking on Lake Wingra
Month: June 2013
Monday, June 17th – Madison, WI
After a morning run and swim, we decided to head to Lutz Family Farm to pick some strawberries, since last year all our attempts were squashed due to an earlier berry season. Along the way, we needed to drop some things off at the Goodwill, and managed to score some awesome finds…. Mountain Hardwear gloves for $1.99, and two Colorado guides for $1.39 each.
At the farm, Alex proved to be the better forager, plucking significantly more berries than Dave. He claims it was disproportionate rows…
After A.J. and Liz got home from work, we headed to the park for some slacklining, ate dinner, did some yoga, relaxed and played around with "Fitocracy." A.J. has been trying to get us to use Fitocracy for weeks, knowing that it combines our active nature and love of keeping track of things into a competitive package…. He won!
June 14th-16th – The Lake House, Lake James, Indiana
Around 1:00 pm on Friday we officially hit the road for Western Extravaganza 3. Our destination was Lake James, Indiana. We arrived around 10:00 pm after a fairly uneventful car ride (YAY for no traffic!). After catching up with everyone, it was time for bed. Since 15 people would be staying at the lake house that weekend, Dave and I decided sleeping on the screened-in porch would be our slumber post, while A.J. and Liz headed off to the workshop turned sleeping quarters…. aka the "Chainsaw Massacre" room… and slept surrounded by workbenches, tools, and chainsaws.
Saturday morning we woke up to a relatively cool and cloudy day, but we wouldn't let that ruin our plans! We spent the morning honing our swimming skills that looked more like crazed thrashing for all but Liz who appears to do no work to stay afloat. After lunch, we spent a quite a bit of time playing around with yoga poses, mostly focusing on crows pose and attempting head stands. A.J. is a head stand master…. while you could say the rest of us are still perfecting our pose. Despite the rain we decided to go out for a 4-5 mile run and then head out to the Lake for some time on the water with skiis and knee-board. It was a bit chilly, so unfortunately we did not stay out for long. The rest of the evening was spent eating and relaxing in the house and down at the lake.
|Fun on the lake
We woke up to bluer skies on Sunday morning (Happy Father's Day Dad! Happy Birthday Liz!) After a tasty breakfast, we took on the task of inflating a large horse for the two littlest ones to play with… no we aren't talking about Alex and Liz…. but they played on it too! Do to a lack of a functioning air compressor, a little creative engineering was required, and the horse was eventually inflated via a shop vac and funnel! After Dave woke up sleeping 2 year-old Maddox and got ratted out with "But Dave told me too…" by 4-year-old Maicie, we headed down to the lake to play and take a boat ride captained by Liz's grandfather. Unfortunately, the first injury of the trip occurred during this time, when a cruel, vicious, and sneaky zebra mussel gashed the bottom of Alex's foot. After clean-up and band-aids, she chocks it up to a mere flesh wound she hopes will be all better in a few days!
After grilling burgers for lunch, we pack up, said our goodbyes, and hopped in the cars to head to A.J. and Liz's place in Madison, Wisconsin.
Thank you to Liz's family for being so wonderful to us once again, cooking wonderful food, providing fun times and conversations, and making us feel like family!
Packing Time!
The school year is done! We both closed our classroom doors one last time, and now have summer plans ready to get in full swing. Before we hit the road for Western Extravaganza III, we updated our packing list from last year, laid things out in the living room, checked, rechecked, and packed the car. We've also been working on drying fruit and making "breakfast bars" for the first leg of the trip. One final detail before we take off…. attach the "Angry Pepper" to the front of the Rav. Last year, he became our official Western Extravaganza mascot (thanks to our friend Doug hiding him, along with other toys, in the car) and weathered many a storm on the front of the car. This year, his likeness will also appear on our official flag… which is still a work in progress!
Welcome to our travel blog!
Welcome to our Travel Log Blog for this summer! So many of our friends and family have asked us to keep them up to date with what we are doing throughout the summer, so this seems like the perfect way. We (hope) to keep this up to date with our locations, stories, and pictures!
Rough plans so far…. Lot's of gaps to fill in and most dates are tentative at this point!

A mother's battle for her disabled son's college transport has been rejected by East Sussex County Council.
Leanna Forse appealed to the council to overturn a decision saying it would no longer fund her 16-year-old son Billy's taxi to college, which costs her £500 a month.
But this week she was told it would stick with its original decision that the mother and severely disabled Billy do not have 'exceptional circumstances' for it to cover the costs.
Billy cannot use public transport as his unique chromosome disorder means that he is like a nine-month-old, both physically and mentally.
While he had always travelled to Hazel Court School through a council-funded taxi, this was revoked when he turned 16 under the county council's post-16 transport policy.
Leanna, whose job as a teacher means she cannot take him herself, has been paying £500 a month for her son's transport.
She appealed to an ombudsman, but the county council decided to return the case to the appeal panel for a new hearing, which returned the same result.
Leanna, 36, said, "I'm devastated. There's not a good enough word to explain how I was feeling when I got that letter.
"It was the last resort. But we'll figure something out, there are options we are looking at.
"One is that I hand in my notice and go on benefits.
"That's not something I want to do but at least I'll be able to take Billy to college.
"I'm not sleeping. It's constantly in my head going round and round."
But Leanna and Billy have had a lot of support in their case from friends, family and complete strangers.
She said, "People have been amazing. I'm getting lots of messages from people I don't know.
"It helps to know we have got people backing us and supporting us.
"And Embrace, East Sussex, has been fantastic throughout the whole process.
"Rebecca Whippy has been a constant support and full of helpful advice and information."
She added, "Parents of disabled kids have to go through so much anyway.
"I only ask for one thing that would make our life so much easier.
"It's just extra stress on top of stress. It's so frustrating.
"Although it looks as though I'll have to leave my teaching job, this is not the end.
"We will continue fighting for the rights of disabled children and young people and their families."
On the decision, an East Sussex County Council spokesperson said, "The appeal panel has reconsidered this case and decided that unfortunately the council won't be able to fund Billy's travel to college.
"The local authority is not required to provide free transport once a young person enters post-16 education, with responsibility for making travel arrangements resting with parents or carers in most cases.
"The panel carefully reconsidered all the issues in this case, including the length and complexity of the journey, whether Billy's family could reasonably be expected to provide transport and whether they have a suitable vehicle.
"We can offer travel support to parents of post-16 students with special educational needs and disabilities in exceptional circumstances only and the decision of the panel was that the circumstances didn't warrant making an exception to our post-16 transport policy in this case.
"In fairness to other young people and their families who may feel they'd benefit from travel support but are not eligible, it's important that the rules are applied evenly to all."

Inside Downstairs Bookshelf (weekly ramblings?)
February 19, 2014
Filed under Uncategorized
Tags: books and manga, bookshelf, Inside video series, video, weekly ramblings
This time we look at actual books that I have along with my manga stash!
*I am at a loss for words…so here is a video instead.
Lately, I've just been moping through my days, mulling over thoughts and ideas of actually doing things. I really hope SBS will come back, but until then, all I've been doing is drowning in work and writing my silly fanfictions XD
Thus, I have nothing to contribute for a weekly ramblings…except for this.
The good news is I'm also reminiscing…(Pokemon OSTs on iTunes *o*) so that means I should be getting back to either writing or violin…because those always flow with my reminiscent vibes.
I've just been bored lately; I really hope I can do something fun soon besides driving and running all the time –___–
We shall see.

The Port Dover West Pier Lighthouse has been identified under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act as a heritage building because of its unique historical, architectural and community values.
HISTORICAL VALUE: The village of Port Dover developed around 1835 at the juncture of the Lynn River and Lake Erie. It soon became an important port for the north-south trade route as well as for the east-west St. Lawrence System. During this time, Port Dover became a centre for ship building as well as for the budding fishing industry. Port Dover continues to serve the commercial fishing industry and its wharf and associated lighthouse remain vital.
ARCHITECTURAL VALUES: The design of the lighthouse is a good example of the wooden square-tapered design, well suited for maritime conditions and used frequently for harbours and river routes. It is a model that was easy to build using materials readily available from nearby forests and mills by local labourers. It is durable and able to withstand heavy winds due to its low centre of gravity. The Port Dover Lighthouse has two important features that stand out. It is relatively easy to move and the tower has been adaptable to new applications.
COMMUNITY VALUES: The Lighthouse is the dominant structure on the pier and reinforces our maritime character and dependence on Lake Erie. It continues to guide recreational and commercial vessels safely into the harbour. It has an extremely high landmark value for Port Dover and is a recognized symbol of our community. It is also an important tourist attraction for our village which is popular for summer vacations.
PDWPA greatly appreciates the complex and persistent work contributed by our member Sheila Whiteley who provided the leadership for pursuing the historical designation. Sheila recognized the important of preserving this building to maintain our sense of identity, community and heritage. The application process included working with Norfolk County to apply for ownership of the building. The County agreed to pursue this in partnership with PDWPA on the understanding that Council will establish an annual operating budget to maintain the Lighthouse and will work with PDWPA to pursue grants and fundraising activities in a separate reserve fund to ensure the ongoing maintenance of the building.
The proposed target for the reserve fund is about $100,000 to achieve self-sustainability. Take note the fund is administrated by the County specifically for the ongoing income and expense revenues required for the Heritage Lighthouse. The County Treasurer is responsible to Council for annual reporting of fund administration.
PDWPA is initially approaching the community for a one-time donation to the fund. The status of the reserve fund will be reassessed as required by the County Treasurer;
For further information about this project, please click on the links to original documents relating to the Lighthouse as follows:
County ByLaw re PD Lighthouse Ownership
Gifts to our special projects make a DIFFERENCE to our COMMUNITY!
Consistent with our promise to carry out a combination of fundraising and pursuit of grants for Lighthouse maintenance, we are also looking to YOU, our community members to support the efforts to PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE! PDWPA is a nonprofit incorporated organization that does not have charitable donation status. Taxable donation receipts will be provided for amounts of $25 or more as requested by the County. Payment should be directed to "Norfolk County/Lighthouse Fund" . Although the County does not have a charitable registration number, they will issue receipts for tax purposes.
Donations of any amount are gratefully appreciated. In order to make it easier for supporters to give to our special projects, we have added a PayPal feature so that you can support specific projects in a secure and accessible manner. Of course, cash and cheques are also gratefully appreciated. For further information please contact PDWPA President Paul Lipsit at
Your donations are appreciated
Thank you

When I was younger I shared household with my step dad, mom, brother and sister for a year and a half. One of my favorite activities during breaks was "fucking" (not literally) with my siblings, eating and annoying the cat.
This one time something "awesome" happened, I heard some ruckus upstairs and I quickly ran up wanting in on the action. The scenario I saw before me was my mom in a rage, ferociously leaning forward (to look more intimidating) cussing and screaming at the top of her lungs. Behind her I saw my brother and his mate both looking down with a slightly nervous, semi-terrified look of guilt and despair.
Apparently she had gone in his room unannounced to tell him dinner was almost ready, and when she opened the door my brother's friend was showing him this "awesome" lighter trick, where you stand on a matress, have a plastic bag (not sure what that's for) and you inhale the gas, shortly afterward you pass out and you wake up all giggly and stupid.
I place myself next to my mom, on her left I think it was, and I put on my "disappointed son" expression while shaking my head, mumbling in a low voice. "mm, so she caught you sniffing too".
My mom, (not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, cleanest glass in the cabinet, most fitting of gloves in the gloves compartment so forth) turns around with her mouth wide open in disbelief.
Holds her rage for a few seconds, my brother knows what's going on, his jaw start going limp too by the looks of it, but he's still frozen, he doesn't act.
And she screams.... "YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE!!! YOU SAID YOU NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!!"
Then she looks at me, with fire in her eyes... "You knew about this??"
I try to look as disappointed as I can, I mustered up the calmest voice I could find in the situation. "I caught him once, yes, and I nearly kicked his ass, told him if I ever caught him doing it again, I'd tell you".
In the blink of an eye, 100% of her rage was now solely focused on my brother. (At this point she seem to be struggling finding words, mostly incoherent cussing and shouting coming out of her).
To my last comment my brother 's eyes were going like this ÔÔ, reaching his hand out, pointing at me, trying to speak.
"But mom... nooo, he never.... Mom, he's ly...!!"
Only to be cut off short....
In the aftermath he's not allowed to hang with his friend anymore, he weaseled his way out of it saying he got tricked/forced, he also got grounded for x amount of weeks, only school was allowed. (His age at the time was around 15).
After the 10 min of fun I run down to continue my "work". (Was doing my grind to Rank 14, hehe).
That particular day I was doing an all niter, and when the night creeps in it's like you get more creative, get more ideas and think much more clearly. And this night was no different, I suddenly got hit by a stroke of geniusy (yes, that is a word, I ran it by Celz).
Clock is around 03:00 - 04:00 or so, I run up to the kitchen and I start frantically going through drawers, cabinets and gather up all the "stuff" I need in a large plastic bag. Next stop is the living room, I get some of mom's magazines, I then "graciously", like a cat (I like cats) dart outside to the garage collecting more items, items for my epic quest!!
(When you get into this mode it's like a feeling of slight anxiety, fear and adrenalin built into a bundle of excitement and happiness. You randomly have to stop and do these small gentle claps with your hands or you'll burst).
I then go in my "crouching ninja, hidden tiger" mode where I carefully sneak in to my brother's bedroom, here I spend around 20 minutes or so setting out all the items in their respective places. I had brought along lighters, spray cans for baking products, small see-through plastic bags (normally for bread), some glue, plastic bottles I've sawed holes in, (burnt the edges of it to make em look used) and last but not least, some of my mom's favorite make up magazines. (I didn't really think she could read, probably just looks at the pictures).
I carefully place the plastic bags here and there, the lighters I put in places they are easy to spot when you first enter. I take off the top of the spray cans and I knock a few over (for realism), the magazine I open on a side where there's women you could potentially fap to, I then place it right next to my brothers head, carefully, as not to wake him. (Luckily he happens to be a very heavy sleeper, so this is NP). I also try placing the glue bottles at places close to him with the lid off, and a little bit of it's content squeezed through the top (for even more realism).
When I'm satisfied with my work I slowly make my exit, and now all I have to do is wait xD (yay)
(My mom always wakes him up before school, she usually gets up first. My brother would always miss his first few classes if someone didn't wake him). And even if she didn't wake first, I was so ready for it, making a lot of noise to wake her that is. (Evil laugh).
Pfffthhhh, oh man, she just lost it completely lol. I know I talked earlier about "I'm really good at knowing people's limits, then going close to them but not quite over". In some of my other stories.
Well.... this was one of the times were I accidentally went over. I won't go into details, but I had to run upstairs and get ready to intervene, just in case she attacked him.
PS, in the aftermath I apologized to my brother and he still loves me an awful lot.
PPS, now it's just a cool story. I told this story last on the 14th of October 2011 when I met his new gf for the first time. (She was pretty awesome, she doesn't drink, likes to ride, and she likes my stories).

By John Hart
The Hush builds on the world first seen in The Last Child
It's been ten years since the events that changed Johnny Merrimon's life and rocked his hometown to the core. Since then, Johnny has fought to maintain his privacy, but books have been written of his exploits; the fascination remains. Living alone on six thousand acres of once-sacred land, Johnny's only connection to normal life is his old friend, Jack. They're not boys anymore, but the bonds remain. What they shared. What they lost.
But Jack sees danger in the wild places Johnny calls home; he senses darkness and hunger, an intractable intent. Johnny will discuss none of it, but there are the things he knows, the things he can do. A lesser friend might accept such abilities as a gift, but Jack has felt what moves in the swamp: the cold of it, the unspeakable fear.

How ironic that God is everywhere, and yet still so mysterious. But He is not nearly as mysterious as we might first think. That's because insider information is available. God has made it possible for us to gain a "flawless" understanding of who He is, what He is like, and how to know Him personally--His person, character, and attributes--through Jesus.
For example, here are my five favorite verses about Jesus: Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15). He is all of God in the human body (Colossians 2:9). He is the exact representation of God's being (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus said, "The Father and I are one" (John 10:30). And, "He who has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). Everything that is true of God is also true of Jesus.
So when we want to know more about what God is like, study Jesus. Listen to Him. Get to know Him. To know Jesus is to know exactly what God is like, because He is God.
The Bible records 34,450 words spoken by Jesus. That's the equivalent of roughly ten 30 minutes sermons. Of course, the entire Bible points to Jesus (John 5:39), but the "red letter" words are good place to start.
Jesus "is" the insider information God offers so that you and I can know for sure exactly what He is like.
Until every church disciples every man…

Hard times mean your website is vital
Our local paper when we lived and worked in rural Aberdeenshire used to carry a strapline for its advertising department which read: "Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time". Today we can say that they were both right – and wrong.
With more competition and reduced markets most businesses realise that advertising is more important than ever – but savings have to be made somewhere. A dilemma? Not really. It is time to make a bigger commitment to the web and reduce or eliminate your spend on print advertising.
Why? Well, for a start print advertising is becoming less effective as many magazines experience falling circulation. Most consumers are going to stop buying magazines and newspapers long before they lose their internet connection. In fact, broadband connections in the UK are at an all-time high.
Secondly, a professionally designed website can be fantastic value for money, the best bang you can get for your advertising buck by a long way. In many sectors the net is the FIRST place people look for information and price comparison, and provided your web designer has made a good job of optimising your site for the search engines you can be right up there near the top of Google with much bigger competitors. And of course new social media sucha s Twitter and Facebook offer easy, free publicity and traffic via direct links to your website.
Thirdly, even if you intend to carry on with print advertising a good website can reduce your budget. All you need to do is attract attention with a catchy one-liner then follow it with your web address. If you distribute printed material – brochures, leaflets etc – then including these in PDF format on your website can create big savings. So – your website should be the last place you are thinking of cutting back.
A well-designed and promoted website will help you beat the ongoing ecnomic gloom by increasing your ROI for your marketing budget while increasing brand awareness and market share. You know it makes sense!

Tattooed dating ohio
for this story were unsuccessful.) Around Johnstown, everyone knew Robert Jr. An inventory check revealed the missing case, which was easily traced back to one Curtis Lee Duffy.
Stealing that many cigarettes was considered a felony, but the store manager decided against pressing charges.
Submitting himself to the kitchen diverted him — from fighting out of boredom, from stealing for the thrill.
From listening to his parents' latest screaming match.
The lock on the glass front door was unbolted, and the first customers walked through. The restaurant was supposed to have opened in March. The equipment that arrived broken, the delays, the cost overruns — all of it had turned many of his nights sleepless. Curtis had worked his way up through the finest restaurants in Chicago — Charlie Trotter's, Trio, Alinea — and earned four-star reviews under his name at Avenues in The Peninsula hotel on the Magnificent Mile. Curtis could've booked her reservation at an earlier time. Curtis did so every few months from his Colorado home, over the injustices imposed on a 10-year-old boy: getting grounded, or having toys taken away. "We'll go to the supermarket and pick up some food for you." He stewed in the front seat of his mom's car, and got as far as the supermarket parking lot. Even then, there is no running away from what you are. The Duffys would leave Colorado Springs in two weeks. What had been a steady job in Colorado Springs became a string of odd jobs in Johnstown, Ohio, 30 minutes outside Columbus: a lawn mower repair shop, a tattoo parlor, whatever garage that would spare a few dollars for him.

Some news items are simply not titillating enough like the page 3 thrash that the Times of India and other psuedo tabloids serve us each day, in the 24×7 media beast which is fed by all sorts of manufactured content. Now a days legislative agenda is dictated by media news rooms, and indirectly by the corporate sector who hire pr firms and lobbyists like Nira Radia to expedite 'matters'. The News of the World fracas, that brought down The powerful Murdoch's from the heights of their power exposed the dirty under belly of the politico-media nexus. The consumer feeds on racy stories and sensational content rather than reflective Op-Ed columns, that really matter. The basic Roti, Kapda, Makan or the basic livelihood issues are simply not sexy, to sell. Let's acknowledge that Kat sells and not Kanoon (Legislative concerns).
The ability to keep focus and to deliver bread and butter issues a midst the media hype, differentiates a quality leadership than from an one that concentrates on electoral cycles. The Media making and breaking a regime is good at times as a movement sometimes needs media backing to transmit its core message across for change as Barack Obama in 2008 and Mamata Didi's historic win in May. The concept of paid stories, dilutes the credibility of the messenger. The Government's agenda seems to be shaped according to the media spin doctors and the so called pundits who dictate the public discourse. During the boom times in the early 2000's, when the business media were worshiping the beauty of free market fundamentalism when the American consumers were fooled in to buying into and feeding the sub prime bubble.
The rhetoric of the 2003 Iraq War and the Af-Pak war theater was over bearing by the media to create a lock in when there were no WMD's in Iraq. Well, he was a dictator like many around, so does that give us the license to kill?
The take away from the story is that we should all be aware of the black swan event in our blind spot. It can ruin us. Leaders need to be cognizant of the uncool and have the preparedness for the unknown. Its an age of vulnerability that we live in and the Norway tragedy illustrates the importance of not losing sight on the so called unglamorous fringe issues.

LINCOLN – Coming off an amazing overtime win the night before, Bancroft-Rosalie/Lyons Decatur was met with another challenge when they faced #1 Ponca in the Class C2 boys basketball semifinals Friday afternoon at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, heard on 107.9 The Bull.
Ponca came out hot, making six three-pointers in the first quarter, to lead 22-13. The Indians would go up 30-20 at halftime.
Cold shooting from the Wolverines in the second half allowed Ponca to keep the score out of reach for much of the game, eventually winning 50-33.
Lucas Vogt had nine points for BRLD, with Trent Gatewood adding eight and Jaxon Johnson scoring seven.
BRLD is now 25-3 overall, and will face Yutan for third place Saturday morning at 9:00 am at Lincoln East.

Got My Hair DidPosted: July 17, 2011 Filed under: Picture Post, The People in My Neighborhood Leave a comment
I'm not terribly fond of getting groomed. I like how I look in the end, but the process involves me being away from my People for a long time, and that makes me super-scared. A lot of dogs that used to live in a puppy mill are actually pretty aloof around people and don't always like to socialize. Not me! I love people, and my People are the best. But now that I've come to love them so much, I get really anxious being away from them for too long (like say, five seconds), so even though the groomers that help keep me pretty are sweet, I don't like going there.
I go to a place called Bandit's Bathhouse, a place not far from home. When I first came home, Daddy and Mama used to take me to a national chain pet store that has grooming services. They took forever – like four hours! – and when I came home I would be so itchy I would scratch myself until I bled, causing a few trips to the vet. Mama found out about Bandit's Bathhouse, which was much closer and about the same price, so she thought she'd try that for my grooming needs. They do a great job – and it doesn't take nearly as long. They understand I get anxious, and they are super-nice to me to try to help me feel comfortable.
I normally get groomed on a regular basis, but we went a little longer than usual in between groomings. I was starting to look like a wild thing. Daddy says I look like a Wookiee (whatever that is), and Mama says I look like a teddy bear, even calling me her "little woolly bear."
Parents have such embarrassing nicknames.
Anyway, Mama and Daddy knew it had been way too long between groomings – and it being summer, having some extra fur gone would definitely be welcome – so when Mama brought me to Bandit's Bathhouse, she asked they give me a shorter trim than usual.
I rather like the results. How about you?
They even give me a kickin' scarf when I go.
Don't worry; Mama made sure she set up my next appointment before we left so I won't be a woolly little Wookiee any time soon again. Besides, I think this shorter 'do is rather slimming, don't you?

(This is a longer version of an article that originally appeared in the wonderful Strange Skins fanzine, which you can check out here: https://strangeskinsdigital.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/strange-skins-digital-1/)
Star Trek: The Original Series debuted in 1966 and one of the most exciting elements of it that helped captivate the audience was its broad and convincing setting. Much of this setting will have been familiar to the TV audience from other science fiction TV series including the slightly earlier Lost in Space, and movies including Forbidden Planet and the much earlier Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers cinematic series. This is a universe of futuristic space ships, smart uniforms, ray guns and planets with life forms much like those found on Earth. These basic elements, immediately recognisable to a TV audience, carried on largely unchanged into the later Star Trek series, up to an including Star Trek: Enterprise.
Yet science fiction, especially of a literary kind, has moved on enormously from this older vision of the future, reflecting the enormous technological changes that have occurred in our lives. Away from science fiction, these changes have also prompted a social movement called transhumanism which looks ahead and considers how these changes may continue and even accelerate in the future.
A broad concept, transhumanism often examines computers and artificial intelligence and a key point here is "the Singularity"; a future event in which artificial intelligence outgrows the human level and in so doing is able to create further intelligences of an even higher level. This cascading effect makes it impossible for mere humans to predict or even conceive of what might happen next – hence its name. A similar approach is taken to other advanced technology including genetics, nano-technology, cybernetics and the possibility of mind uploading – that is uploading your consciousness into a computer. Greatly enhanced life extension is another interest.
Some transhumanists predict enormously radical changes in the future. Ray Kurzweil, a prominent transhumanist writer, predicts that the Singularity will take place around 2045. Not only that, but by 2099 people will be able to live indefinitely long life spans and humans and computers will have merged. Beyond that, these new intelligences will start saturating the Solar System and then the rest of the galaxy with their consciousness with the creation of planet-sized computers.
These themes have for some time been reflected in science fiction novels; for example in the works of authors such as Alastair Reynolds, Iain M. Banks and Peter F. Hamilton. The internet and the digital revolution have given our real lives elements that could only be thought of as science fiction to the audience of Star Trek when it was first broadcast in the sixties. As readers, we take for granted a much higher level of technology in science fiction than previous generations.
By contrast, Star Trek's future is much less radical than the extraordinary vision of transhumanists such as Kurzweil. It is interesting to note how Star Trek, in all its series, has largely avoided taking on a more transhumanist approach. All of its shows depict a largely human crew, not really any different from the TV audience of today. This point is starkly made in an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series itself. In Space Speed, the genetic superman Khan comments that, "I am surprised how little improvement there has been in human evolution. Oh, there has been technical advancement, but, how little man himself has changed."
Whilst Khan is a product of transhumanist style genetic engineering, the crew of the Enterprise seem to him oddly unchanged from the original form. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's crew includes the genetically enhanced Dr Julian Bashir but here it is clear that such augmentation of a natural human is illegal in the Federation. This is despite other, far more extraordinary scientific advances found in Trek such as warp drive, artificial gravity, matter replicators and the transporter.
Although Star Trek is set in the 23rd and 24th centuries, long after the proposed date of 2045 for the Singularity, true artificial intelligence seems something of a rarity. The Enterprise's computer only rarely breaks through to full sentience and is largely no different from a contemporary computer, albeit far more powerful. Data, the android from Star Trek: The Next Generation is stated to be an artificial intelligence and in some respects at a higher level than a human, yet he often serves the plot as a Pinocchio like character rather than being an exploration of machine intelligence and what it implies for human identity, capacities and purpose.
The most well known transhumanist element of Star Trek might in fact be one of its deadliest villains – the Borg. Cybernetic, collectivist organisms who seem to be more machine than life form, the fact that they can only play a role as the Federation's greatest enemy adds further weight to this anti-transhumanist theme.
It will be fascinating to see how far the new Star Trek show, Star Trek: Discovery, incorporates transhumanist elements. There has been some discussion about this but it has to be remembered that often Trek seems more interested in acting as a metaphor for contemporary social issues rather than being a rigorously science fiction themed production. In any event, whilst it might be interesting to speculate about this, it has to be remembered that the new show will be seeking mass appeal to a mainstream audience.
It is interesting to speculate what a fully transhumanist vision of Star Trek might be and the following is a sketch of this concept.
Set two hundred years after a technological singularity on Earth, the crew of the United Society Starship Enterprise are largely machine-based cyborgs, with only a certain amount of organic tissue in the computational matrix of each crew member being found to be necessary. The crew are cybernetic avatars of the artificially intelligent mind of the ship itself – mobile extensions of the Enterprise, who assist with operations on planetary surfaces to enhance its mission of exploring and surveying the galaxy. Each crew member is very different in appearance and abilities from the others, both in their functionality for their mission speciality and some degree of personal aesthetic enhancement, including the use of further, replaceable biological elements.
When not in physical operation, each crew member integrates back into the machine mind of the ship. Each crew member has their own, individual intelligence, at a level far beyond the human, but these are still part of the collective whole of the ship's intelligence, which is as far beyond them in intelligence as they are beyond the human. They each have their own unique personality and identity, as it has been found that diversity amongst the crew helps with the overall completion of mission objectives. When integrated with the ship's intelligence, they interact instantaneously in a virtual environment.
If a crew member should be damaged when on a mission, the damaged part can be repaired or replaced very easily. Indeed, if the crew member should "die" then their consciousness can be copied from its most recent update in the ship's intelligence and downloaded into a new robotic avatar. Each crew member is therefore functionally immortal.
Avoiding the fantasy of faster-than-light travel of Star Trek, this new show would depict a star ship using real science, possibly involving a fusion or even anti-matter driven engine. Travelling at around a tenth or even as much as a third of the speed light, it would take decades to reach other stars and yet to the mostly inorganic crew, this is not a difficulty as they would spend much of the journey inoperative physically, engaging in social, hedonistic and educational delights in their perfect, utopian virtual world.
Their mission is to survey the part of the galaxy they are able to reach in their star ship, to seek out new worlds and analyse them for possible conversion to the planet-sized computers that their star spanning Society seeks to construct. Earth, long since altered into a pristine wildlife park for its native life forms, has through humanity spawned a post-human culture intent on saturating space with consciousness. Yet planets with any form of life, no matter how humble, are treated with reverence and, in accordance with the Society's Primary Direction, safeguarded from interference and studied for scientific information.
Sometimes they encounter other members of their Society, for example if they return to nearer the Solar System, the centre of the Society. The Society, a post-human culture, is enormously varied and includes natural humans (unaltered biologically from humans of pre-Singularity times), completely artificial life forms, intelligent machines of all kinds and even genetically enhanced humans and animals (including intelligent apes, dolphins, lizards etc). Life extension has become so powerful that it is possible to encounter humans who were born in the twentieth century.
The majority of the Society's interaction is carried out in a virtual environment to which they all have access. This virtual environment is far greater in extent, fidelity and diversity than the inhabited galaxy. Indeed many citizens of the Society consider the virtual their primary world and reality something they only engage in when unavoidably necessary.
For the last 150 years, small, artificially intelligent probes the size of footballs have been spreading out across space as initial surveyors, and the crew of the Enterprise are following up data sent back by these original pioneers. The initial surveys, travelling at up to 50% of the speed of light, have pushed the frontier back to about 50 light years from Earth's Solar System. There are around two thousand stars (and a similar number of planets) within this volume of space and to date around 20% of these have been surveyed to any significant degree. The Society's long term goal and dream is to one day discover alien sentient life, which has so far been entirely undetected.
