A gap year spent on developing orienteering
Posted on | October 24, 2016 | Category: News, Newsletter
A young German couple is combining travelling with developing orienteering in smaller orienteering nations. Their trip starts in South America, and they will continuously write articles for the IOF webpage about their trip.
What do you do if you have a year to go travelling but cannot let go of orienteering? You try to fit as much orienteering as possible into your trip of course. That is the case for the German couple Felix Späth (25) and Susen Lösch (23) who, after finishing their educations, are grabbing the opportunity to experience parts of the world whilst also developing orienteering:
– We knew we would go travelling but we cannot live without orienteering. Then we got the idea to combine it. The plan for the trip is to help developing clubs and federations in the places we visit. We will teach them some orienteering and we will probably learn something from them as well. Exchange ideas, Felix and Susen say.
Felix and Susen started their trip in Santiago de Chile in mid-October. They plan to travel around South America until the beginning of next year, before they move on to Australia and New Zealand. Especially during their time in South America, they aim to help places where orienteering still is at a tender stage:
– Our offer is that we can help a club or a federation with mapping and coaching and in return get food and accommodation. We would like to help as many as possible while we are on our way. We have very few contacts in South America though so before departure, we were in touch with IOF regional coordinator in South America, José Ángel Nieto Poblete, Felix and Susen say.
The German couple has already got in touch with a few clubs, and are temporarily in San Vicente de Tagua Tagua, Chile hosting trainings and help drawing maps. During the last weekend of October, they will go to the South American Orienteering Championships in Valparaíso, where they will mingle with the more than 500 participants and hope to get new contacts. Felix and Susen are aware that the language can be a challenge in the mainly Spanish-speaking continent, but do not see it as a barrier:
– The app we use to practice Spanish says we speak eight percent Spanish so far. We will hopefully improve fast and until we reach a higher level, we will just speak with gesticulations and simple words. It works out fine if you are just open-minded, Felix and Susen say with a laugh.
When Felix and Susen start to work with clubs in South America, it will be possible to follow their work through reports they will write for the IOF webpage. Interested clubs from South America can get in touch with Felix and Susen on email@example.com.
Both Felix Späth and Susen Lösch participated in the WOC in Strömstad as part of the German national team. Felix is a physiotherapist and has had courses in coaching, while Susen has just finished her bachelor in biomedical engineering and is experienced in mapping.

A Collection of Mis-sses
April 09, 2008
When I started to write about my cooking I made a little promise to myself to always be honest. It would be really easy to gloss over the fallen cakes and oversalted meals, the small domestic disasters that arise from too much faith in gut instinct and too little experience. And while I certainly don't choose to tell you about every misstep, there are some weeks that just filled with these misjudgments, and missteps and mistakes. Here's one of those weeks.
This week (first confession) was a long time ago - I am trying to finally publish all my old drafts! Whew.
Still true though. Even if it did all happen in 2006.
First, there were the overdesigned fruit kabobs I made them for a friend's baby shower. I was really looking forward to taking pictures of these. I soaked pineapple in ginger syrup, then cut the slices into little stars with cookie cutters, and sandwiched them between different sizes of mint sugar-dusted melon balls and petite blueberries. They turned out very pretty, but I overstretched myself and barely had time to put them together let alone take pictures!
Then there were the cream puffs. Ah - cream puffs. These were an unmitigated disaster. I had planned on making 4 dozen for church, little creamy bites that would delight the kiddies. But the dough was sticky as wet glue - I have no idea how it was supposed to be piped like the directions said. I ended up scraping it out of the pastry bag and globbing spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. They were very tasty and golden when baked, but only made a third of the promised four dozen.
And the cream puff fillings - oh don't even get me started. I accidentally beat the cream into butter, leaving me with a wet mess of flavored milk with lumps of greasy butter sticking up like lonesome icebergs. Somehow I miscalculated the chocolate ganache and ended up with runny chocolate goo that wouldn't set, so I made a frantic addition of gelatin and eggs and managed a Bavarian cream, sweating, at the last minute. It was OK, if a little lumpy, but not worthy of the blog.
For the same meal I made a huge batch of Greek meatballs with fresh ground lamb and parsley. These were not exactly a disaster or a misstep, but they did fall into the area of miscalculation. I made so many and knew that there was a lot of other food coming, so I assumed I would have plenty to bring home for weekday lunches and a leisurely photography session. Well, no. They were the first thing to go - which of course made me glad that people liked them but again I was left with nothing to take pretty pictures of. Never underestimate my church's ability to pack away a few pounds of meat. There was that lesson, again.
Then there was the pita bread. I used Nicole's recipe for homemade pita bread - for the same meal as the cream puffs and meatballs! Too much, too much - which turned out a lovely dough and a delicious bread, but again, I overstretched and was frantically rolling gooey balls of dough and slapping them into the oven as I was supposed to be leaving my house. Many of them burned, a little, and had dark crackled tops. Otherwise, they were delicious. But definitely not photogenic.
So there you have it - just one week of mis-steps. Wonder what a new week will bring!

Your flesh was delicious.
I have no more time to reminisce.
You're gone now,
and I've been running for days because they never stop chasing me- no need for open caskets.
No need for graves or wakes– Just Run…
Fail me once again, I can take it.
My legs will travel a few more miles. And I will survive
Force of will, or maybe just the will to live.
Feet ache and my mind already left;
the drop off point, helicopter never came, and the memory of you won't go away.
Somewhere a boy in a field wonders where his parents went.
And why his best friend hunts him down- blood jettison in a mouth that shared Cheetos and juice boxes
I'm so paranoid that I'll get bit and have to live each day like this
Wandering the town for people I once knew.
Now they just look like food.
Maybe when the dead came alive you thought you'd fit in
You saw more fall to the earth- but they can't unhinge
the lost, the broken, falling skies – the news already broke.
Along with all hope.
Reality falters, when the stumbling creeps drift from street to street
and backyards where barbecues once smelled of charred meat.
Now streets caked with rotted flesh- everyone's eyes hollowed out and no time for vanity
The butcher shop is all around you
Instill me with safety
The world doesn't look the same to me
The stretch of time that paralyzes each one of us to be walking and not running in fear
The dead need living things

When I first recieved by eye-corrective lenses, they allowed
me to distinguish leaves on a tree, ripples in a stream-
a green frog in the tall, green weeds but it did not fix
my major problem-the reason why I had to get them.
The yuppies, the indie, the emos, the goth, the anime freaks, the wanna-be blacks with their lack of melanin-and more
all with degrees of sight loss-with only a few
pieces of the giant replica of big ben, the pieces that hardly even make a curve of an arch
Putting everyone's togeather won't help though, because they're all the same pieces-copies of the same construction
but no two exactly different.
Half-thoughts,daydreaming lives, so real I want to leave this one and go to the next.
Spider-children, coma adventures-wolves that act like wolves in a manner you expect. Seconds before the alarm sounds (before the drama) for school warnings, I am filled with longing for what I cannot be, cannot find.
Frighening me into insomnia by such depth of emotion
My lives but not me-laid bare and hidden for my terrified perusual and desire.

Writing on Liberal Democrat Voice, Lib Dem Peer Lord Tyler says that the revelry of 'cretaceous conservatives', who prevailed over Lords Reform, 'can only be temporary'.
"The cause of real reform has been advanced in the last year by good, cross-party workmanlike pre-legislative scrutiny, and by a very strong second reading vote in its favour." he said. "In the next Parliament, the issue will arise again, and our Party stands ready to help make real reform happen when that day comes. I will have a bottle of bubbly chilling for when it does."

Mckenna's Reason's on "Why Canada is Amazing?"🍁🍁🍁
1. Canada is enormous and has multiple different landscapes. Canada is the second largest country in the entire world. It's 9,984,670 km² Wowza! Canada has high mountains, different types of forests, rivers, lakes, prairie grasslands and arctic tundra. Very cool!
2. Apologizing Did you know? that a recent poll by Queen's University named "Sorry … I'm Canadian," found that 90% of Canadians aged 18-25 will immediately apologize if a stranger bumps into them. Who says saying sorry is bad anyways, apologizing has proved to boost happiness and strengthen relationships.
3. Canada is safe, it has the lowest rate of assaults then any other country. 76% of Canadians say that they feel safe walking outside at night.
4. Canada has a good reputation all around the world. Studies confirm that the Maple Leaf really is beloved. In 2012, the Canada brand held top spot for the ranking of countries based on people's
trust, admiration and affinity for them. Backpackers make sure to pull out your Canadian accessories.
5. BEAVER TAILS …. enough said!
6. In Canada everybody is free and accepted no matter what nationality, race, or sexuality. We also have the largest number of immigrants which adds diversity and uniqueness to our home country. Canada was the 4th country to legalize same sex marriage in 2006. Other countries are still debating this topic to this day.
7.The Northern Lights, bright dancing lights of the aurora. Collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. Magnificent shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported as seen.
8. Free health care is delivered through a publicly funded health care system. The government assures quality of care through federal standards. I'm extremely thankful for this.
9. Our taste in chocolate is simply better. Everyone knows we have tons of chocolate. Shout out to Purdy's, home of the hedgehog (aka Mckenna's favourite chocolate) Purdy's is also Canadian based, the original store was opened on Robson Street, Vancouver, in 1907.
10. Lastly, citizens of this country are proud to be CANADIAN Eh! 🍁🍁🍁
Much Love

5G and the National Physical Laboratory
The world-renowned National Physical Laboratory (NPL), a global centre of excellence in measurement and materials science, and the University of Surrey have worked closely together since 2006.
This relationship has been further strengthened by the announcement in 2014 by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) of a formal strategic relationship between BEIS, NPL, and the University of Surrey and University of Strathclyde to create a national partnership which extends NPL's reach even further across the UK.
Supplementing the broad relationship with Surrey, NPL also provides specific collaboration in 5G technologies, joining the 5GIC as a member in 2015, bringing technical expertise in a range of critical areas such as:
- Accurate characterisation of ultra high speed electronic and optical communication equipment
- Ultra-precision transfer of time standards
- Satellite data validation
- Antenna characterisation
In addition to collaboration with the 5GIC NPL plays a wider role in 5G technologies, providing leadership of the EU Euramet Programme, MET5G. This project is developing the traceable metrology and standardisation to improve measurement uncertainties underpinning all aspects of 5G communications, including signals, devices, systems and test environments for emerging 5G technologies. This will give European industry a competitive advantage over global communications manufacturers in the development of solutions to 5G metrological problems.
The University of Surrey and NPL established the Nonlinear Microwave Measurements and Modelling Laboratories (n3m-labs) in 2016. Through n3m-labs, we are able to focus on major research areas that will underpin next-generation information and communications technology. This technology is necessary to establish an effective Internet of Things (IoT), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and other multi-sensor dependent applications, including Smart Cities. The facilities at n3m-labs will enable these areas to achieve their full potential in the years to come – i.e. during the realisation of what is becoming known as Industry 4.0.
The combination of NPL's world class metrology expertise coupled with 5GIC's unique 5G testbed facilities provides a very significant joint asset for UK businesses and future large scale 5G testbeds.

Education Secretary Michael Gove has pledged to free "teachers from constraint" as he launched a major overhaul of the English schools system in a bid to boost standards and restore discipline.
Unveiling the coalition's education White Paper, he described the curriculum as a "straitjacket which stifles the creativity of our best teachers" and said he would give teachers more freedom to "innovate and inspire".
Local authorities will also play a key role as "parents' champions" to ensure that admissions to schools are fairer, he said.
He said: "Social mobility went backwards under Labour – and it is the mission of this coalition Government to reverse that melancholy trend and make opportunity more equal so we can become an aspiration nation once more.
"If we are to make the most of the potential of every child then we need to learn from those countries which outperform us educationally and have more equal societies.
"This White Paper does just that. It takes the best ideas from the highest-performing education nations and applies them to our own circumstances."
The Importance of Teaching White Paper represents a major overhaul of the English schools system and sets out plans covering teacher training, qualifications and assessment, inspections, league tables and funding in an attempt to improve standards.
Shadow education secretary Andy Burnham said that while he welcomed some elements of the Government's White Paper, it was a "plan for some children not all children".
Sally Yates, dean of education at Birmingham's Newman University College, accused Mr Gove of a "lack of awareness" with proposed changes to teacher training.
Ms Yates, who is also chair elect of the Universities Council for the Education of Teachers, said: "No-one can deny that gaining classroom experience is a valuable part of the teacher training process but this already exists within the current system.
"While time in the classroom is essential, trainee teachers also need time, like trainee doctors, to study their subject knowledge and specialist pedagogic knowledge and understanding."

This is the first statutory consultation stage on the Creek Neighbourhood Plan.
The consultation period has now closed. Thank you to all of those who took part.
The Town Council believes that the regeneration of the Creek and the protection of Faversham's maritime heritage could support businesses and tourism opportunities which will do much to revitalise the whole of Faversham. We have been working for two years on a Neighbourhood Plan to achieve these objectives and we need your support to succeed.
Over the last 40 years there have been a number of attempts to regenerate and restore the Creek since the pattern of trade changed and traditional commercial Creek traffic came to an end. We think the draft Neighbourhood Plan provides the best chance of doing this.
The new National Planning Policy Framework with its presumption in favour of sustainable development (which will often mean more housing) raises the prospect of a lot of additional housing being allowed without the necessary work to restore the waterway.
We have an opportunity to decide what will happen to the Creek area by producing a Neighbourhood Plan that will secure its long-term future. This does not give the Town complete control to come up with a Plan exactly as it wants, as the Plan must be in conformity with the National Planning Policy Framework and "deliverable" in accordance with the definitions in the NPPF. The Plan is inspected by a Planning Inspector to ensure that these conditions are met.
This statutory consultation is your chance to have your say on how you see the future of the Creek. There are a number of opportunities for you, which are set out in this leaflet, to come along and discuss your views and thoughts with members of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group. The consultation document can be found on the website and there are hard copies available for you to look at.
On behalf of the Town Council, I urge you to support the Town Council's efforts and take part in this vital consultation. We need to hear the whole Town's views to ensure the final Plan not only meets Government requirements on planning policy, but also, as far as possible, reflects your wishes for the Creek.
I would urge everyone to work together to ensure a successful Neighbourhood Plan, one which will regenerate the Creek, support business and tourism and preserve our heritage.
Both parts of the Draft Plan are available for download, below. These files are quite large, and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them.
Paper Copies of the Draft Plan are available at:
The consultation period has now closed. Thank you to all of those who took part.
We are holding a number of events throughout the Pre-Submission Draft Consultation period, the events are listed below. These are key opportunities in helping you shape the future of Faversham Creek and the surrounding area.
Please look out for press releases in the Faversham Times and Faversham News during this publicity period.
Feedback from all events, questionnaires and comments submitted to the Neighbourhood Plan team will be collated, assessed and issues identified.
A formal Consultation Statement will be published which explains and summarises the consultation process and discusses the outcomes of the consultation itself, including giving information on what can and cannot be incorporated into the plan and why.
At all stages the Creek Neighbourhood Plan must conform to National and EU laws and local planning/strategic policies and it will be formally reviewed to ensure this is the case.
Changes to the plan in the light of the consultation will be made where feasible and appropriate. The amended plan, once reviewed, becomes the Submission Draft.
A final six-week period of consultation, hosted by Swale Borough Council, will then take place before any final amendments are made and the plan is submitted for independent examination.
Further modifications may be made resulting from the independent examiner's report ahead of a local referendum (expected to be held in January 2015).
If approved by more than 50% of those who vote, the plan becomes part of Swale Local Plan.
A number of documents have been utilised to form the Draft Plan, being discussed in this Consultation Period. These are available below. Many of the documents are in PDF format, where you will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them. Some of the documents are quite large.
Some of these documents are on websites over which we have no control. Please report any problems to the Town Clerk by email email@example.com.

The first time I saw this little flower from Lauren of Daisy Cottage Designs, I was in love.
I immediately envisioned it on a hat design that I had in mind.
I have already asked her permission to use the flower with a link back, of course. Now, I just need to find the time to complete the hat!
Gardening and canning season is in full swing and trying to fit in time to crochet even a hat is difficult for me. But, I *will* get it done!
This is simply the cutest little flower that I've seen.
You can use it for all kinds of embellishment. You could put it on a hat, on a baby dress, on the tops of slippers, on the tops of towel toppers, at the shoulder of a top.
The possibilities are truly limitless. And, just one row to complete it! You just can't get any easier.
Lauren has graciously made the pattern for this little flower available on her website for free.

In Photoshop, you can easily add additional space to an image by dragging the crop rectangle outside the current canvas. This would be really useful in Lightroom when some additional space is needed to get the right crop (very common in particular when doing photo books). Some options for handling the fill is all that would be needed.
LR Mogrify 2 as a plug-in (via http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/) allows you to enlarge the canvas in very flexible ways (e.g. change canvas enlargement whether portrait or landscape. Free to try and offer very powerful addition to exporting
It's better than nothing Frank, but expanding during export is definitely a poor substitute, for instance that does not allow you to use other features like vignettes on the entire canvas area.
It's convoluted but possible to re-import the extended image and modify that with LR's tools.
For me it is far less work to send the file from Lightroom to PS, do the canvas extension - with the vast array of options and filling and have it automatically return to Lightroom than it would be to use Mogrify.
Agreed Rikk. Mostly I'm wanting this feature for situations where I don't need anything more than a solid color fill and it's really overkill to have to open PS just to add that. Having this feature (along with the ability to set a transparent background color) would save me a lot of extra time in my post processing.
Definitely voting for this one :-). As Spot removal tool became more powerful, you easily can clone background over the enlarged area... unfortunately, you can't enlarge the area.. SO FAR, right Adobe? :-)

How to get University and the ways to Select It Most suitable to Get the Best Schooling?
How to get University and the ways to Select It Most suitable to Get the Best Schooling?
A greater classroom scholar doesn't reah2ze what stress and fatigue is ahead of the time for college or university apph2cations gets. You thinking you might only need to make a choice, fill out a mode or two, and wait for a great envelope to reach. Unluckily, the entire process of university or college apph2cation requires a large amount of more than that. You need to realize the admission criteria of the institutions you are applying to, round up large amounts of information and facts, complete more in depth methods than you expected, and hook up with all deadh2nes.
The following advice will persuade you glance at the procedure of university or college apph2cations possessing a proper handle. From the assumption that you've witout a doubt narrowed down the options and know which colleges you're attending connect with, you can start pursuing the following.
Establish a timeh2ne
It's under no circumstances too soon to start with organising the college apph2cation routine. Find the deadh2nes of universities that you pick and be sure to create a timeh2ne that organizes your adventures within a more relaxed way. You will not be happy any time you depart anything and everything for the past minute.
Create a checkh2st of all that you should do and impose deadh2nes on oneself.
Recognize what records and documents you wish
College or university apph2cations are related with plenty of documentation. You'll must hand in lots of things to each university or college you apply to: an apph2cation, SAT or Behave score report, university transcript, personal fact or apph2cation essay, and letters of professional recommendation.
If you reah2ze what your apph2cation needs to include, you can start tackh2ng only one part at the same time.
Complete the apph2cation conscientiously
Most colleges assist you to distribute document documents or sign up onh2ne, that you give preference to. Dependant upon the institution's prerequisites, you have got to provide you with some rudimentary knowledge about you, your educational achievements, standing on standard tests, awards, extracurricular activities, in addition to other highlights.
Because so many colleges and universities take the usual Apph2cation, you will occupy in one application and upload it to different training centers. That will make the apph2cation practice much simpler to aid you. On the other hand, make sure that a training centers that you pick embrace that apph2cation in advance of submitting it.
Acquire letters of recommendation
You will want at least several letter of recommendations for each advanced schooling you apply to. Never be anxious; you can include comparable letters to multiple apph2cations. You cannot get these words published by a randomly man or women; be sure to go with folks who know your functionality and might highh2ght your talents.
Don't hang on too much time prior to deciding to talk to some lecturers and information counselors for tips. You ought to supply them with plenty of time to write down the words, considering they are regularly overly working when most kids figure out to get over university apph2cations.
Some people were moving here for tips for writing the sat essay the last three months of school just to get the scholarship, ms

Yes, a principal actually said that.
Bullying is all too pervasive in our schools, even in Brookline, but also across the country. It takes many forms, and there are legal definitions involved, you can read about those here.
It is vital to say something. Bullying does not stop on its own. It may be physical harassment, it may be teasing, it may be gender based, religion, disability or race based, and more. One instance does not constitute bullying, it must happen several times. It does not need to be the same action, but it is the same aggressor.
You MUST properly report bullying for it to stop. You MUST protect your child from bullying.
Does it happen in your school? Does your child tolerate it? Are you afraid to report it?
Let us know in the comments. Do not name someone who you believes is an aggressor, but you can tell us what the school is doing about it, or why you do or do not report it. And you can stay anonymous. Have you reported it?

Well, fellow chasers there comes a time in every Curly's life when you simply must use protective styles. It would seem that that time has come for me. Now, for those of you who are familiar with my natural hair likes, you know that I hate protective styles. Wearing coils every week is obviously not the vision even though it is my favorite. I was getting ready to go to a friend's wedding, and I needed a worthy style. Fast forward to a long night of style hunting until I found a cute style tutorial from Gabrielle of strawberricurls.com (Thanks, girl!). What was this magical style that changed the game for me? It was a wrapped twist out and it fairly rocked. I tossed a couple of hair accessories in and my hair was ready to party.
If you're like me, your curls don't hold styles for very long. So what's a curly to do when you cleanse every four days anyway? The answer, I found, was pretty simple...alternate. If I didn't do the same style each time I cleansed, I wouldn't become discouraged. I want to retain length and protect my tresses from this crazy cold winter. However, keeping my sanity intact is a huge plus. Last weekend, it was a wrapped twist out, which is sort of like a regular twist out except you wrap the twists around your head in the direction you want it to fall and pin them in place. This week it was two pony puffs. While the puffs are easier, I will be trying a different style come cleanse day. Why? I get bored preeeeettttty easily especially with my hair. I like to keep my relationship with Jada interesting. Plus, I get to experiment while my hair is shorter. My advice is this...if you want to protect your ends but hate redoing the same style week after week, you might find it easier to do if you keep it simple and creative.
Later Days, Curl Chasers
Twisted view from the front and styled twist out....not the best pic but the curl definition was good. Any resemblance to a poodle is purely coincidental :)

Small Bathroom remodel services from The Solera Group are available to you in and around the city of San Jose.
If it's time for a homeowner to look at a small bathroom remodel, it's time to look at what the costs can be. While it's easy enough to throw a lot of money at a remodeling job, doing it in a way that is actually reasonably affordable, especially in today's economy is as important as redoing the room itself.
The quickest, least expensive and most impactful way bathroom remodeling companies change a small bathroom is by creating space with color. By painting the walls a light color and using a contrasting color on the trim, a small bathroom can visually appear to be much larger. Also, by incorporating inexpensive shelving and taking advantage of unused wall area, a small space can actually have a lot more storage capacity than even larger rooms like the bedroom can have.
Not only will changes like these make a small bathroom a lot more aesthetically appealing but with the additional storage areas, being able to move storage of bed linens and seasonal wear into the bathroom can alleviate storage difficulties in other rooms. This means a small bathroom remodel looks great and makes life a lot more efficient in the process.
Are you looking for professional bathroom remodelers to help you with your small bathroom remodel in San Jose? Call (408) 338-6059 or fill in our online form.


text: Foreclosure Halt May Shift Bondholder Pain - Foreclosure halt may shift painBy ROBBIE WHELAN And RUTH SIMON WSJThe recent suspension of foreclosures by three of the largest mortgage-servicing companies in theU.S. is expected to result in more pain for some investors, and less pain for others, in the alreadybattered $2.8 trillion market for residential mortgage-backed securities.The sector has seen massive losses and credit downgrades since mortgage defaults began to risein late 2007. Moody's Investors Services says losses on subprime RMBS issued between 2005and 2007 will be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.In the past two weeks, three major loan-servicing companies-Bank of America Corp., J.P.Morgan Chase & Co. 's Chase Home Mortgage unit and Ally Financial Inc. 's GMAC HomeMortgage Inc.,-put foreclosure sales and evictions on hold in the 23 U.S. states whereforeclosures are handled by the courts. The moves were in response to revelations aboutwidespread problems in the way these companies handled foreclosures, including themishandling of crucial court documents.The companies say the problems are technical and they are reviewing their processes, which hasthe effect of delaying and prolonging the foreclosure timeline and putting hundreds of thousandsforeclosures in limbo.The latest revelations are yet another source of frustration for bond investors. "It's symptomaticof sloppy servicing and a lack of adherence to contract and property law, which we've seenexamples of over and over again in the last two years," says Scott Simon, a managing director atPacific Investment Management Co. Other examples include the servicers' failure to put backloans that violate representations and warranties made by the sellers of those loans, he says.It's not clear how significant the costs will be for investors and who ultimately will bear theburden. One big question is: How long will the foreclosure delays last? Another is: What furthercosts will be incurred in the meantime, as mortgage-servicing companies pay lawyers to refileforeclosures, maintain vacant houses and pay taxes and interest on the properties?The first question is important because the structure of residential mortgage-backed securitiesdetermines who gets paid first. When a house that has been packaged into a mortgage bond ishttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB4000 1424052748703843804575534 303696918076.html 10/7/2010Foreclosure Halt May Shift Bondholder Pain - WSlcom#printMode Page 2 of2liquidated at a foreclosure sale-the very end of the foreclosure process-the holders of thejunior, or riskiest parts of the bond, usually get wiped out. But if a foreclosure is delayed, theservicer must keep making payments to all investors, including the junior debt holders, and eventhough the home loan itself is producing no revenue streamBut the latest turn of events sets up a series of unusual circumstances where juniorbondholders-typically at the bottom of the credit structure- could actually end up better offthan they expected. Senior bondholders-typically at the top-could end up worse off thanexpected."This is sort of an extraordinary situation," said Debashish Chatterjee, a vice president forMoody's Investors Service who covers structured finance. By delaying foreclosures, "it means thesubordinate bondholders don't get written down for a much longer period of time, and they keepgetting payments.""Ultimately, delays in the foreclosure process will shift cash flow that otherwise should have goneto the senior bondholders and send it to the junior bondholders," said Tom Deutsch, deputyexecutive director for the American Securitization Forum, an industry group.But that means less money available to make final payments to the senior debt holders, who weretaking on less risk and received lower yields on their investment.Not surprisingly, senior debt holders want banks to foreclose faster to reduce expenses."There are going to be significant costs in going through the process," of revalidating theforeclosure documents, says Andrew Sandler, an attorney in Washington who representsmortgage companies. He said it's not clear how the costs will be allocated.Servicing companies hope the reviews will be quick At GMAC Financial Services, "the vastmajority of these affidavits will be resolved in the coming weeks and before the end of the year," aspokeswoman for the company said. A spokesman for J.P. Morgan Chase said the company'sreview process is expected to take "a few weeks."But the problems could be magnified if the reviews uncover a lack of proper documentation orother substantive problems rather than simple procedural errors. The furor over servicerpractices is also likely to trigger additional legal challenges from borrowers facing foreclosure andmore judicial scrutiny.

Indie Review: Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages is a boulder bashing and strategic defense game in which you need to squish your opponent and stop them from squishing you.
Quick Rating
- Worth The Time?Most definitely; if the humor doesn't keep you playing, you are, as plainly stated as possible, dead inside.
- Things LovedThe whole game; especially the quirky humor
- Things HatedSometimes, only sometimes, the physics with regards to the boulder movement can become frustrating
- RecommendationA definite must have! Buy now!
- Name: Rock of Ages
- Genre: Tower Defense, Action, Racing
- Players: 2 player versus
- Multiplayer: Yes
- Platforms: PC, MacOS, Linux and XBox
- Developer: ACE Team
- Publisher: Indie
- Price: $9.99
- Reviewed On: PC
Firstly, and before I write any sort of unbiased review for this game, I feel I must first express my completely biased opinion:
Rock of Ages is amazing! I'm surprised so little people own this game and that even less have even heard about it; it's unimaginable. Not owning this game would be like not owning a cell phone or a widescreen monitor/television in our modern day and age; it's simply inexcusable. I'm struggling to even fathom the concept of not playing Rock of Ages.

Before I get too involved in your failures and clearly disappointing choice in video game purchases, let me give you an unbiased review of Rock of Ages and hopefully you too will understand why I think this game is the business.
Firstly, the game is based loosely on the story of Sisyphus who was a king punished for being a rather craft and sly fellow when dealing with the old Greek gods. He was compelled to roll an immense boulder up a monstrous hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this mind numbing task throughout eternity. In comes the beginning of Rock of Ages story. Sisyphus being the crafty fellow he is decides to roll the boulder down this huge hill to break down the gates of Hades and escape. Upon escaping Sisyphus travels throughout the major time periods of humanity facing other boulder wielding historical figures.
These periods of time comprise of:
Ancient Greek
Late Baroque
Each time period introduces a wonky track, with which to navigate your ever faithful boulder, as well as giving you new towers and devices to prevent the opponent's treacherous boulder from reaching your own gate. The concept of the game is rather simple. As stated before, you navigate a track with your boulder, bashing through buildings from that time period as well as the towers erected by your opponent; these reward you with gold so you may put obstacles in your opponent's boulders path. Whoever's gate gets bashed through first is the loser. You will at times have to navigate the track up to 4 times to break through a gate. After your boulder takes a shot at breaking the gate it crumbles to dust and must be re-carved. You may choose to augment your boulder with iron spikes or even imbue your boulder with the heat of the sun and sow fiery death upon your opponent's defenses.
If you aren't into the whole "offense is the best defense" strategy, you may invest your hard earned gold into defense. These defenses include:
These fortified structures serve to block the boulder's path. You may bash your way through these towers which, depending on its strength, may significantly damage your poor boulder.
Pebbles, rocks or even livestock launched via catapult to divert the course of a boulder.
Flying contraptions
Placed on key points of the track, you may prevent boulders from taking a shortcut usually achieved by bouncing over a gap.
Angry animals
Mad cows and even mammoths, who are a little ticked off by the whole extinction thing, will charge a well doing boulder and knock it off to the direction you face the peeved animal (preferably of the side of the track).
They go boom; boulder gets blown away.
Income generators
For the wise economist and budding entrepreneur, you may build structures that increase your gold income so you may place more defenses down.
Huge fans that will push your boulder off of its intended path.
Projectile firing towers or cannons that damage the boulder chipping it down bit by bit until there is nothing left.
All of this boulder bashing and strategic defense placing is conveyed in a great Monty Python animation styled aesthetic. The quirky look to the game adds to the humorous task of bashing your way through the track. Don't be fooled though, this game uses the unreal engine and rewards people who have moved past Windows 95 and CRT monitors with great visual effects.
The singleplayer campaign can only be described as an experience you must have; an experience like your first beer or getting that first chest hair. In between tracks you are treated to a Monty Python animation styled cut scene brimming with quirky humor. My favorite being the entity of 'The Plague' being portrayed as a misunderstood person only looking to make friends, but ultimately just kills everyone and everything he comes into contact with. You do not only bash through courses but must also defeat time period bosses. These behemoths will usually have a weak spot that you need to pulverize with your boulder before the boss chips your boulder down to a pebble.
The multiplayer is just as rewarding. You may challenge your friend in battle mode, on a selected track, and finally determine who the better boulder wielding strategist is. Or, if you'd prefer, you may try your hand at the skeeball game mode where you may use your boulder to bash your opponent off course to achieve the best score.
There, now if you don't understand why you must have this game, I am done with you. Go play Bingo with your Gran. My words were clearly wasted on you. For the rest of you who know a good thing when you see it, give me a shout sometime, I'd love to school you in the ways of boulder bashing strategy.
The Verdict

text:
Is it reasonable to go from 'x is the current scientific consensus, to the extent one can be detected' to 'it is warranted to believe that x is true'?
Some considerations.
1. Scientific consensuses change.
The consensus in cosmology was that there was a steady-state universe, then the consensus in cosmology was an expanding universe. Similarly, the consensus in geology was that mountains built up through sedimentation, then the consensus was that mountains built up through interactions of moving tectonic plates. And so on.
The list of scientific consensuses that turned out to be wrong, and which in many cases were replaced by significantly different theories, is long.
(The changes weren't just refinements of a given view, but often dramatic shifts in how facts were brought together to form a picture of how the universe works or how events transpired.)
We are warranted – through a process of induction – in thinking we have little reason to think we are in some unique period of history now where we have all the answers.
This leads to
2. So, in many cases the current scientific consensus will turn out to be wrong, and often significantly wrong.
The question then is how to determine which case one's in for a given consensus (relevantly correct, relevantly incorrect?).
There are several signs which suggest a given state of knowledge is incomplete.
a) Is it reasonable to believe that there is a large amount of relevant data that isn't known yet?
b) Are important aspects of a theory not robustly testable (and tested) yet?
If so, it might be reasonable to think the theory doesn't capture the terrain exactly right in those areas where it lacks robust testability.
c) Is the area of knowledge rapidly changing?
Obviously, this is a sign that our knowledge of the area is incomplete to some significant degree.
(Theoretical momentum can often lead one astray. For example, you might start explaining things fairly well using a mechanism. It might be tempting to leap to the conclusion that all things can be explained in this way. This is probably an unjustified leap.)
A response might be made that, yes, scientific consensuses are often wrong, and indeed a given one in question may likely be wrong (given considerations like a) to c) ), but nonetheless it is the most reasonable position that can be arrived at to this point.
Is this true? No.
If one has a specific reason to reject a consensus, that reason must be evaluated on its merits. This is because there are ways to know things or considerations that bear on a given theory that may lie outside the scope of the theorists from which the consensus is derived.
Therefore, a consensus can only be a rough guide to what might be the most reasonable position at a given time.

Protect yourself from the dangers by following these simple steps:
• Trust the Triangle - only use a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit, fix or service your appliances • Get your gas appliances regularly serviced and safety checked every year • All Gas Safe registered engineers carry a Gas Safe Register ID card. Before any gas work is carried out always check the card and make sure the engineer is qualified for the work you need doing • Fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm • Know the six main signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapse and loss of consciousness. • Check for warning signs such as lazy yellow flames or black marks and stains around the appliance. This could be an indication that your appliance is not working correctly and you should get it checked. • If you suspect anyone is carrying out gas work illegally, report them to Gas Safe Register.
If you have had gas work done in your property in the last six months, you can nominate it for a free gas safety inspection. For more information and to find and check a Gas Safe registered engineer go to www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk or call 0800 408 5500

Besides the SOSD Adoption Drive on 30 June, we also went to the Singapore Really Really Free Market at Eurasian Community House.
The Singapore Really Really Free Market is a market where everything is free. All goods and services are shared free and nothing is for sale.
It was actually quite near Katong, but K and I stupidly followed the google maps and ended up walking all the way from Paya Lebar MRT. It was so far omg. There were people selling vegetables in the back alleys, dubious houses and the like, and the whole walk felt so surreal because it kind of felt like we were overseas.
the scale of the event was much smaller than what I had expected. I kind of expected it to be more like the (paying) fleas that I used to frequent. But this was more of a cosy affair held just in the hall itself.

The Groove of Giving
I never shop on Black Friday, mostly because I don't like to shop. I also don't like crowds or lines, and combining shopping with crowds and lines makes Black Friday about as appealing as a root canal.
Plus, as you may remember from my previous post, The Stress of Mess, subtracting stuff means multiplying mojo. But what do we gift-givers (and gift-getters) do for the holidays? No fear, my mess-less mates! I've compiled a list below. Honor somebody special this year, or put these groove-growing gifts on your wish list.
1. The Gift of Giving
One of the nicest things you can do for someone you care about is to honor something they care about. If your BFF loves dogs, make a donation in his or her name to the ASPCA. If your sister thinks pigs are the cats meow, take her on a trip to visit Farm Sanctuary (there's one in New York and one in California). Perhaps you can give your spouse a special short-term volunteer trip with Habitat for Humanity. You can both enjoy the sights of a fabulous destination while building a home for someone who needs one.
2. The Gift of Green
There are so many sustainable ways to say "Happy Holidays!" Plant a tree in the name of a loved one, cook a meal made with fresh, organic ingredients and invite your friends over to share it, or head on over to Treehugger.com. You'll find loads of sustainable gifts for everyone on your shopping list.
3. The Gift of Health
There are so many books and movies on how to get healthy... how do you know where to start? No worries... I'm here for you! I've done all the research so you don't have to. For those in your life who may be going through an illness, or even those who just want to feel inspired to improve their overall health and well-being, here are a few gift-worthy titles:
Forks Over Knives - DVD
Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead - DVD
The China Study (by T. Colin Campbell) - book
Eat to Live (by Joel Fuhrman) - book
Crazy Sexy Diet (by Kris Carr) - book
4. The Gift of Time
Time is something that everyone could use more of. So how can we give the gift of time this holiday season? You can offer to clean your very busy friend's house, or if you're domestically-challenged like me (don't laugh... it's a real disorder!), you could hire someone to do it instead. Your parents would probably love to spend some time with you. Why not take them out to dinner, or invite them out to see a show? Surprise your kids with a special "kids" day... pick a weekend and tell them that you'll do anything they want (within reason, of course... jumping off the roof onto a trampoline doesn't count as "within reason"), and then be prepared to give them your undivided attention.
Fortunately, most of these gifts don't require trips to the mall, long lines or crowds, and, better yet... they won't clutter up your house! Do you have other groovy gift ideas? I'd love to hear about them!

Your Money or Your Mojo
We humans have a very strange relationship with money.
We don't talk about how much we earn. We lie about how much we spend. We judge other people for not having enough. We judge other people for having too much. Some people spend all their time thinking about it. Some people refuse to think about it. We feel bad if we don't have more. And we always feel like we should have more.
Money is a big source of relationship strife, too. According to the American Express Spending & Saving Tracker, about 30% of couples say finances cause the most stress in their relationship, followed distantly by intimacy (11%), their children (9%) and their in-laws (4%).
That's a lot of power for a flimsy piece of green paper.
Lately I've been thinking about my own relationship with money, and I realized that the two of us could use some therapy. I imagine our session would go something like this:
Therapist: So, why are you here today?
Money: She totally ignores me, except when she needs something. And then she's angry at me if I'm not there for her.
Therapist: Is this true?
Me: Yes, yes it is. I want Money around when there is something I need, but other than that, I don't really care for him. In fact, I dislike him!
Money: That really hurts my feelings.
Therapist: Why don't you like Money?
Me: Well, I'm not supposed to like Money. I'm supposed to care about making the world a better place. Everyone knows you can't have both… you have to choose one or the other.
Therapist: Who said you have to choose?
Me: I don't know. I guess I just have that belief that it's either my money or my mojo.
Money: You really know how to hurt a guy.
Therapist: What if you didn't have to choose? What if you could have both Money and Mojo?
Money: Maybe if you treat me like a partner instead of this hot-and-cold, back-and-forth, one-sided relationship we've had, we could do beautiful things together.
Me: Really? Is that possible? We could actually work together towards a common goal?
Therapist: How should I know? This is your imaginary therapy session.
So, I started thinking about what Money said, and I realized he was right. We have so many assumptions and perceptions about money, most of which were formed subconsciously, long ago. What if we didn't give money so much… value? What if we thought of money like we think about the other necessities in life that we're grateful to have, such as electricity, running water, or heat? You never hear anybody say, "I need more electricity!" or "My running water isn't enough for me!" or "That person has way too much heat. Who does he think he is?!" Of course not. When it comes to those resources, we take just what we need. Sure, it's valuable because it makes our lives more comfortable, and we feel badly for those who don't have it, but we don't have any excess energy on it.
Can we approach money the same way? What would happen if we used what we needed, were grateful for what we had, and shared what we could?
You know the old saying, "Money is the root of all evil. I don't think that's true. The saying should go, "Our notions of money are the root of all evil." If we stop looking at money as evil, if we stop connecting money with fear, if we stop putting anger and resentment towards money, I'm willing to bet our financial outlooks will change for the better.
The next time you're feeling anxious about your funds, take a deep breath, smile, and give Money a hug. Get rid of all your preconceived notions about Money. Give the poor guy a chance. Start fresh. Remind yourself that you and Money are partners, and although you will have your ups and downs, you're in this relationship for the long haul.
What's that other old saying? "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." Let's start using honey to catch money… and see how our fiscal future unfolds.

The Trend Is Your Friend
I have this somewhat useless talent of being able to pick up on food trends. I couldn't tell you the next big fashion statement, or the next hot song, or the way the stock market will go, but if you want to know about where the future of food is headed, I'm your gal.
Back in the day I predicted the passion with protein, the fetish with fat-free, and the curb of carbs. More recently I predicted the organic obsession, the local lure, and the kale craze.
What can I say? Some people read palms; I foresee food fads.
When I became vegan in 2004, the people who even knew what that word meant (and there weren't many of them) thought I had lost my mind. If I had a nickel for every time someone asked, "But where will you get your protein from?"… Or, worse yet, the people who didn't say anything and just stopped talking to me, muttering "freak" under their breath as they headed for the nearest burger joint.
Being a social outcast didn't faze me much. A vegetarian for twenty years prior to that, I was used to the absurd questions and comments that people felt compelled to share simply because I didn't eat animals. Plus, I had just read Joel Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" followed by T. Colin Campbell's "The China Study," and that re-affirmed what I already knew almost twenty years prior when I experimented with the diet plan in Dean Ornish's "Eat More, Weigh Less." Not only was there no reason to eat animals, but research has proven time and time again that NOT eating animals is a healthier way to live.
But I digress…
This post really isn't about whether or not to be a carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, or chocolateivore (I made that last one up… all blog posts should mention chocolate at least once). This post is about food trends.
I usually shop at Whole Foods, simply because there are so many wonderful options for me there. Where else can I get a gourmet meal, complete with a fresh salad, a savory hot bar, steaming soup, and some vegan chocolate mousse to top it off (remember, all blog posts should mention chocolate at least once)? But today, it just so happens that another grocery store was on my way home. And, since we only needed a few things, I figured I'd run in there. It had been a while since I shopped at a grocery store besides Whole Foods, and I was pleased with what I saw.
First of all, the "natural foods" section was packed. And I mean, packed! I bonked my cart into someone else's cart at least half a dozen times. (Although I am great at choosing healthy foods, I'm not so good at cart driving). Next, I noticed that the produce section was bursting with some great-looking, and sometimes organic (!) produce. And better yet, people were buying it! The coffee bar in the store had soy milk. SOY MILK! And, to top it all off, they even had a section for gluten-free products... it was tiny, but it was there! What a beautiful sight!
Nowadays, people don't sneer too much when I tell them I'm vegan. Sometimes I even run into people who tell me they're vegan, too. I send my kids to a school that serves only vegetarian lunches… and guess what?! Other parents send their kids there, too! And they LIKE, or at least DON'T MIND, the fact that the lunches are vegetarian. Even better… there's a waiting list to get into this school! I'm telling you… this didn't happen seven years ago in my part of the world. I'm no longer an outcast. I'm almost… dare I say it… normal!
Even for people who aren't vegetarian (and I still love you), the trend is moving in a healthier direction. Everyone is eating more vegetables, fruit, and unprocessed foods. Thanks to national television shows like "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," "The Dr. Oz Show," and countless shows on the Food Network, people are becoming educated on healthy, sustainable foods. Authors like Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser are on the best-seller list. "Food, Inc." and "Supersize Me" are blockbuster films. Everybody's catching the sustenance subway, and everyone will benefit from that ride.
So what's next? Here's my prediction… the future isn't only about what we eat. The future is about how we live. Being a junk-food vegan, living off of Doritos and Coke, isn't where it's at. The future of food will be about health and harmony. Are we eating sustainably? Are we wasting less? Are we embracing quality over quantity? Are we eating real food that is created by nature and not in a factory? Are we treating food as medicine, recognizing that it has the power to make us sick… or not? Are you ready to ask yourself those questions? The answers could shape your future.
Food is not just food. It's culture and wellness. It's health and happiness. I believe that as our food choices improve, our communities in general will be more peaceful, our citizens will live longer and better, and our priorities will shift. We'll choose people over principles, kinfolk over cash, and giving over greed. We'll not only add more years to our lives, we'll add more life to our years.
A pipedream? Maybe. But the trend is my friend. I haven't been wrong yet.

Why Try?
The English language should remove the word "try" from its vocabulary. Or at least I should remove it from mine.
It seems that whenever I use the word "try," I'm really saying "I say I'm going to do this but really I'm not." For example…
"I'm going to try to exercise more" really means "I say I want to exercise more, but I'm not willing to put in the effort."
"I'm going to try to eat better" really means "I say I want to eat better, but I'm not willing to put in the effort."
"I'm going to try to go to bed early" really means "I say I want to go to bed early, I'm not willing to put in the effort"
Do you see what I mean? Saying I'm going to "try" makes me feel better than saying I'm not going to change anything. But does anything really change?
Now what would happen if I truly commit to something, instead of "trying" to commit to it…
"I'm going to exercise more" really means "I'm going to exercise more."
I'm going to eat better" really means "I'm going to eat better."
I'm going to bed early" really means "I'm going to bed early."
Here's an experiment:
Stand up.
No, really, stand up.
You up?
Now, try to jump.
Go ahead. Try to jump.
My guess is… you either jumped or you didn't.
Am I right?
Trying is really irrelevant. You either did it or you didn't.
Trying to do something is much safer than fully committing. If you try, then that automatically means you may fail. The word "try" by definition is "to make an effort to do or accomplish something." If you make an effort, you may, or may not, succeed. But if you fully commit to something, your chance of success is much greater, simply because of the change in your mindset.
Let's use another example... you don't have to stand up for this one!
You "try" to train for a 5k race. You decide to "try" to see how far you can run without stopping. You go outside and start running. You become uncomfortable after half a mile, so you stop. You tried.
You commit to train for a 5k race. You commit to run one mile without stopping. You go outside and start running. You become uncomfortable after half a mile, but you keep going. You keep going because you committed to run one mile without stopping. There is no "trying." There is just "doing."
The act of committing is the difference between failure and success. "Trying" simply means that we're not ready to commit, but we just don't want to admit it.
Of course, we never have to "try" to do something we really want to do. When was the last time you tried to have fun with your friends? Have you ever tried to enjoy that triple chocolate layer cake? I'm sure you don't have to try to look forward to vacation. We only have to try things that we don't feel sure we'll succeed at.
Making a full commitment to something is scary. It means we put our hearts and souls into it, and that could take effort. But if it's something that's near and dear to you, it's effort well spent. Can you imagine saying that you will "try" to take care of your kids, or your spouse, or even your pet? Of course not! There's no doubt in your mind. You're fully committed, so you just do it.
What is one thing that you've been trying to accomplish, but haven't? Are you ready to stop trying, and start doing? Join me in eliminating the word "try" from your vocabulary. Fully commit to making one change in your life that will maximize your mojo and propel your power! I can't wait to hear about the results!

Sharjah is the third largest of the seven states(Emirates) which form the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah began its business odyssey centuries ago. Business grew from trading with the Far East and pearl trading and forged ahead at a great pace to its present status.There was no major publicity blitz, just a carefully plotted out master plan in which commerce and culture blended into a harmonious work ethos. In the last four years the concept has matured and its tangible success proves that Sharjah's commercial agenda has some very real merit. The 12% annual growth rate in Sharjah's industrial graph did not just happen overnight, nor was it a random development. The sustainable growth of Sharjah's economy and business made it the hub of budding managers. This also increased the need of experienced managers with professional training.
