Hide Forgot
1)Had trouble with poor error message which assumes that a bios originated
"write" failure
is due to the target partition not having enough disk. Actually partition
had enough space
but the root partition was beyond cylinder 1024 (motherboard=Intel OR840).
Had to guess
this might be the cause.
2)Using the nice GUI "back" button each time after a "no space" error to
fdisk reformat after 3 times and finally placing the root partition below
cyl 1024 the anaconda GUI broke messily,
mumbling about device error. It seems there is a "leak" of some kind that
is not reset after a
failure message and hitting the "back" button all the way to fdisk screen.
Anyway a hard
reboot and filling in all the numbers again caused all to work (once the
partition table was OK).
Incidently, the disk scenario is 2*30GB drives, one with NT & win98 the
other with Linux 7.0.
Repeat this by purposefully putting /root beyond cyl 1024 and telling LILO
to write itself there
(and NOT the MBR). Then watch the install fail (after an optional format),
click "back" until
fdisk screen, fiddle and then return to install. Repeat another couple of
times, with last time
making a /root partition below cyl 1024, observe the crash.
This install was about as difficult as installing NT and win98 on same
disk. You are close to
being easier than Microsoft !
Passing to QA to reproduce.
this problem is verified ... replacing the "linear" line by "lba32" in the
lilo.conf allows you to have your /boot above 1024 cylinders, BUT the anaconda
installer does not do this ...
thanks for your report!
Essentially the same as bug 14351.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 14351 ***

For the first time, pregnant women and people aged 65 and older will have access to free flu vaccinations at selected Unichem & Life community pharmacies across New Zealand from April 1.
Green Cross Health, the group behind Unichem, Life Pharmacy and The Doctors medical centres, says the move will improve access to flu vaccines for New Zealand communities.
Doctor Lily Fraser of Turuki Health Care says pregnant women and people 65 years old and older have been targeted by the initiative because they are more likely to require hospitalisation or die from the flu.
Doctor Maia Melbourne Wilcox says, "I've worked in a maternity hospital and the people who are most at risk of dying in the flu season are young people, old people and pregnant ladies because when you're hapū you immune system is quite low so you get really sick really fast."
Green Cross Health Group Manager, Professional Services, Alison Van Wyk says, "We're always supportive of improving convenient access to health care and advice for everyone in New Zealand and Pharmac's latest announcement will enable us to work alongside our medical colleagues to better protect the most vulnerable people in our communities from the flu."
Influenza, commonly called the flu, can be a serious illness to people of all ages. Over 1.2 million New Zealanders are vaccinated annually and in 2016, figures showed 67% of over 65 year olds and 18% of pregnant women received a flu vaccination.
"There remains a large proportion of New Zealanders who are not getting the flu vaccination and who could benefit from accessing it. Making the vaccination free in pharmacy to those most at risk due to age and pregnancy adds another layer of protection," Van Wyk says.
Although some expectant mothers are wary about getting the flu vaccine, Doctor Wilcox Melbourne says the flu vaccine is beneficial for both mother and baby.
"I think it is good and normal for women to be really careful about what they put on/ in their bodies when they are hapū, for example eating good kai, not smoking or drinking or avoiding particular products, chemicals, but the flu vaccine is different. Pregnancy is a particularly important time to get a flu vaccination. Your risks are not increased when you're pregnant in terms of getting a vaccination. The benefits are even more when you're hapū because that way you get the antibodies to protect you in winter and you also pass those on to baby. So it protects baby which is really really important when there are brand new babies and they don't have an immune system of their own. So that's more important for babies born around the flu season."

UK Engineers Design New Whiplash-Reducing Car Seat
When you are involved in a car accident, it isn't always the other car hitting you that causes injury—the force transferred through the car by the collision can often cause injuries, whether or not you were in danger of being physically impacted by the other vehicle.
One of these injuries in particular is called whiplash. Whiplash most often occurs in rear-end collisions, and is the result of rapid, back-and-forth neck movement, essentially cracking your head like a whip. Depending on the severity of the collision, whiplash can cause a range of symptoms, from a simple sore neck and some stiffness all the way to tingling or numbness in arms, difficulty concentrating, or memory problems. This type of injury is the reason why race car drivers have head and body restraints, as well as a large headrest. Typically, people can recover from whiplash (it is considered a relatively minor, although long-lasting, injury), but not without a fair amount of pain, suffering, and expense.
That's No Good: Here's what you do if your car breaks down
To combat this problem, engineers at Loughborough University in England have created a unique car seat (for the driver, not like these ones for little kids) that they believe could lessen the effects of or prevent whiplash altogether. It basically works by reducing the difference in motion between the victim's head and body in a collision.The seat contains a damper to absorb impact energy from the collision, while the head restraint moves up and forward, closer to the head, before whiplash can strike. The seat itself rotates rearward in a controlled manner to limit the amount of back-and-forth motion. This combination of systems is unique among automotive market seats.
Of course, it may be some time before we might see these seats come into use, but in the meantime, the seat's designs have been published in the International Journal of Crashworthiness.

A Men in Black spinoff starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson is in the works. This is a franchise that has had the same director on board from the very beginning, with Barry Sonnenfeld at the helm for all three Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones-starring Men in Black films.
However, with this upcoming spinoff, Sonnenfeld will not be commandeering this time around. Instead, Fate of the Furious director F. Gary Gray will be taking over. But is there any specific reason why Sonnenfeld opted not to direct? Speaking with INSIDER, the filmmaker gave a very simple explanation as to why.
"The producers and I don't really get along. It didn't seem like it was something any of us wanted to do. After Men in Black 3, it was pretty clear that Will and Tommy and I had sort of decided we didn't want to do any more of those. It was a lot of fun. And I loved working with Will and Tommy. But they worked too hard and too long. We all just wanted to move on."
RELATED – Tessa Thompson Joins Chris Hemsworth In Men In Black Spinoff
Sonnenfeld hasn't exactly been complacent. He's executive produced two solid series in The Tick and A Series of Unfortunate Events, with him serving as director for most of the episodes in the most recent season of the latter. While Men in Black may be his most well-known franchise, he's doing plenty fine without it.
What do you hope to see from Men in Black now the baton has officially been passed off to a whole new creative team? Let us know your thoughts down below!

Over the years I have taken mixed-media workshops with Kate Strickland of Hudson, Christina Lovisa of Ottawa, Diane St-Georges of Valleyfield, and Pat Dews from New York. Last year I took an on-line class with Jane Davies, and one of the exercises in that class was the production of a stock of "collage papers". These are useful to have on hand when you just want to add a pop of colour or texture when producing a mixed-media painting.
White gesso is applied to drawing paper with a brush or credit card and, while it is still wet, a stamp or stencil is pressed into the gesso to form a texture. Alternatives include bubble wrap, scraping with a comb, or scribbling with a stylus. Once the gesso is dry, paint thinned with glazing medium is applied with a brush or credit card, highlighting the texture. Or you can apply regular-strength paint, wiping it with a wet paper towel to reveal the texture beneath.
Here's an example of how textured collage paper can be used in a mixed-media painting. This is something I produced last summer in my workshop with Pat Dews.
|blue and orange textured collage papers
contribute to this composition
Another approach is a technique I learned from Diane St-Georges. This involves painting onto semi-transparent "deli paper" and allowing the paint to dry. When the painted deli paper is collaged into a mixed-media work with gel medium, the paper itself becomes transparent, leaving just the painted texture. You can opt to lay down a base layer of white or black paint before applying the texture.
|"Deli paper", shown here in 12" squares, is available at restaurant
supply stores.
Here are some of the tools I use to produce texture, physical or visual, when making collage papers:
|Sequin waste, home reno materials,
packaging from a medical lab
|This bit of screening found at a home renovation store can be used
as either a stamp or a stencil.
|Commercially-available stencils can also be used as stamps.
|Thermofax screens are available on line, and an old
credit card can serve as the squeegee.
|The smaller wooden blocks were hand-carved in Africa,and
the large rubber stamp was bought at a scrapbooking supply store.
Stencil brushes are useful to apply paint to the stamps.
|I hand-carved these stamps.
Blocks of rubber are available in art supply stores
especially for this purpose.
|A printing pad produces crisper definition when stamping with paint.
It's made with foam core board, wrapped with a couple of layers
of batting or felt, then covered with a plastic garbage bag.
This is a great activity for when you're in between projects. I'll be glad to have this range of collage papers on hand when I take my next workshop with Jane Davies in mid-September.
|Less-than-perfect results make for a more interesting texture.
|Collage papers featuring a range of textures
And finally, here's an example of how snippets of these collage papers can be used to add interest to a mixed-media piece:

WARNING: This book contains descriptions of sexual assault and harm to children.
Confessions of a Lie Detector is a non-fiction book describing the experiences of the author, a polygraph examiner with over 30 years of experience. It's an interesting look at a little-known and misunderstood science. Wygant presents cases ranging from petty theft to murder and shows how under the right circumstances, almost anyone can be caught in a lie.
Some of the most interesting parts of the book are not the cases themselves, but Wygant's own speculation on the nature of lying and why we do it. He describes some of the different types of lies that people frequently tell, and what effect they can have on both the liar and the person being lied to. He shows a lot of compassion for the people who "fail" his tests, which I think allowed him to give a more balanced take of the consequences of lying. One of the first things he tells the reader is that often, when a polygraph test shows a client is probably not being truthful, they are relieved rather than angry. Keeping up with a lie can exact a tremendous toll on the person telling it. He also points out that we are sometimes pressured into lying by loved ones who don't really want to know the truth.
I did have some trouble with the graphic nature of some of the crimes described, but that's merely a warning, not a criticism. I do feel that the descriptions given were necessary parts of the book. However, people with sensitivity to certain subjects may find it hard to read. There was also a lengthy chapter describing in detail the investigation into a murder in which polygraph in general and the author in particular didn't seem to play a particularly important role. It did not fit the general flow of the book and ended up feeling like filler.
My verdict: proceed with caution. There is some interesting information and speculation in this book, but the reader must have a true interest in the subject to stick with it, and some content may be upsetting.
Title: Confessions of a Lie Detector: Years of Sex, Theft, and Murder

The Best Things in Life are (Booking-fee) Free/
Let's do some quick maths, remember these maths scenarios from school?
John sells 300 tickets at £10 to his gig through an agency. The agency charges him a booking fee of 65p on each ticket, plus 2.5% of each ticket's value. How much, in cash, will he pay in booking fees?
If like us, maths isn't your favourite hobby – and you'd rather do without complicated sums to work out how much you're paying to sell your tickets – then Ticket Tailor is your new best friend.
Ticket Tailor doesn't charge a single penny in booking fees, service charge or commission. Just one small flat fee to sell as many tickets as you possibly can.
So John from our maths scenario would've paid a whopping £270 to sell 300 tickets through a ticket agency. If he'd used Ticket Tailor, he wouldn't have paid any of those fees – just a simple subscription from £9/month.
Simple and effective.
On average, booking fees will take a healthy (unfair) slice of your revenue. And if you've worked hard to promote your event, why give away more than you have to?
In May, Which? Magazine featured an investigation into "almost overwhelming" fees charged by most agencies and venues. Unsurprisingly, 91% of 3,500 people thought these fees were unfair.
Using our system, which includes Facebook, blog and website integration, will not only save you hard earned cash – but relieve you from unnecessary mathematics!
For your next event, remember Ticket Tailor: 40,978 booking-fee-free tickets sold and counting…

TARGETS aimed at boosting the number of university students from poorer backgrounds may be missed by two decades, NUS Scotland has warned.
The Scottish Government's Commission on Widening Access wants students from the 20% most deprived backgrounds to represent 20% of entrants to higher education by 2030.
Figures compiled by NUS Scotland show that since 2007/08 the proportion has risen from around 12% to 14%.
The student body said that if the speed of progress continued on current trends the target may not be met until 2050, 20 years late.
President Vonnie Sandlan said the analysis demonstrated the need for "ambitious, bold and immediate" action, including the appointment of a Scottish fair access commissioner as recommended by the commission.
She said: "When the Commission on Widening Access released its final report we welcomed it as a strong challenge to all of us who want to see ambitious and radical improvements in fair access to higher education.
"A key part of that challenge was the targets the Commission presented, to improve fair access between students from the most and least deprived communities.
"However, we're still a long way from meeting those targets, and on the basis of recent trends they won't be met until two decades after the year in which they should have been.
"In 2012, NUS Scotland released our landmark report on fair access, Unlocking Scotland's Potential, which showed that at current rates of progress it could take 40 years to achieve fair access.
"Despite huge amounts of work since then to ensure we saw much faster progress - not least the incredibly welcome and important investment in thousands of additional places for fair access - it's worrying to see that hasn't shifted."
She said NUS Scotland hoped to see an appointment to the role of commissioner made "as a matter of urgency and priority".
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "We are pleased NUS Scotland recognises the action we have taken to widen access, including very significant investment in additional places. While this continues to deliver progress we know we all need to do more to deliver our ambition of fair access.
"The latest university admissions statistics show 1,340 18-year-olds from the 20% most deprived areas have already secured a place at university this year, an increase of 9% compared with last year. This continues the trend of progress over recent years - but the gap remains too wide.
"That is why we are committed to implementing the bold agenda for change laid out by the Commission on Access and will extend the reach, scope and investment of the Scottish Attainment Challenge over the next five years. An early priority is the appointment of a Commissioner for Fair Access."

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) April 13, 2015
Shibumi Home, a home decor store, is now open for business at http://www.shibumihome.com. Started by a Denver mom and entrepreneur, Julie Wienen, Shibumi Home offers custom created home accessories for casual and creative living.
Wienen, a former interior designer, explains, "Decorating is about expressing personal style. It should be a fun, creative process. At Shibumi Home, you can play with patterns and color to find the look you love. There are no right or wrong combinations. If it makes you smile, it's your perfect style."
Unlike stores where customers choose items from ready-made selections, Shibumi Home shoppers pick patterns from the store's pattern library and personally apply them to products. Customers can easily create a single product, such as a tablecloth, or customize and coordinate several products at once, such as toss pillows, using the site's mix & match feature.
The store's growing assortment of easy-care products for real life include slipcovered toss pillows in three sizes and no-iron cloth tablecloths, table runners, and napkins. Shibumi Home's patterns are designed by 10 up-and-coming artists from around the globe. Each artist brings a distinct flavor and perspective to her patterns, creating a range of styles that make for colorful combinations.
Wienen, who originally set out to design patterns herself, found her real passion in supporting the creative aspirations of others. She hopes Shibumi Home will encourage all of us to explore and express our own style, from her artists to customers who think they aren't creative at all.
Says Wienen, "I strive to give our customer everything she needs—easy-care products, fresh patterns, tips and tricks—to create custom home decor that expresses her style and personality. We all have a little creative genius deep down. And we all deserve a home that makes us smile."
# # #
Shibumi Home (http://www.shibumihome.com) is a convenient and fun way to shop for contemporary home decor.

Grant Follow Up Letter
A Grant, which popularly goes by the name of sponsorship, requires a proper sequenced procedure to be followed. This begins with asking for a grant from the sponsor company. The company may or may not reply to this letter. Despite that, one has the option of writing a follow-up letter which intends of seeking further information from the sponsor regarding the status of the sponsorship or grant.
Since you are asking for such a huge amount- in kind or cash, it requires you to not only be extremely formal but polite as well. You must showcase your gratitude for the same through your words. Start the letter by stating why you are seeking this grant and what difference this amount could make to your company, project or function. It is advised to mention your past achievements for the event that you are seeking grant for. This boosts up the possibility of receiving a grant.

Subject: Grant Follow up Letter
Respected Ma'am
India's Harvard chapter had written to your reputed company on the DD/MM/YYYY, seeking sponsorship for their upcoming event, the Harvard US conference which is scheduled to take place in the first week of January.
Ma'am, Harvard's Indian chapter has been operating in the country since the past six years. We have tried to expand our presence in the region through the Harvard US-India initiative. Under this name, we have so far launched three social campaigns, which concern the fields of gender equality, mental health and the eradication of poverty in India.
Every year, we showcase this in our conference which is usually hosted in the first week of January. The entire purpose of this is to mark the progress we have made in the past six years through our campaigns. It also highlights our goals for the year.
This conference is attended by 350+ delegates, all hailing from different countries around the globe. Our speakers include lecturers from the Harvard University itself as well as unique personalities who match the likes of Shashi Tharoor and Manmohan Singh.
We are writing to your Corporate Social Responsibility team, requesting them to look into our application. The grants received from your company will not only help us organize this conference but also help us raise funds to further carry out our campaigns.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

Chair's note – Occasionally there's that opportunity to field a question or problem that doesn't lend itself to quick solutions. Asheville resident Mr. Steve West presented us with one in recently raising a problem with bears in his community. It seems that a neighbor was persistently feeding the bears and thus conditioning similar expectations from others. The vulnerabilities were increasing – dramatically. Repeated calls, contacts and meetings with local and state authorities had produced no solutions and a firm final declaration that "there is no prohibitive law on the books." An email to Senator Chuck Edwards (although he understood this community was not officially in his district) produced immediate action and defined a path to solutions. Senator Edwards demonstrated a public service model that merits positive attention. With such in mind, here's Mr. West's letter of appreciation-
Dear Senator Edwards,
Just a note to thank you for your intervention in our neighborhood neighbor/bear nuisance project. I must say that we were pleased and borderline overwhelmed at the speed and appropriate intensity of the response your prodding caused.
The quick action by the NC Wildlife Commission's legislative liaison who referred me to Captain Mitch Kirkland, t Wildlife Commission's LEO who in turn contacted me immediately. Since you were instrumental in starting this process, I want to tell you what transpired.
During our initial conversation, Capt. Kirkland's plan was to visit the bear-feeding-lady along with a Commission biologist to explain to her the harm she was causing. During his visit with her, she apparently told him that she wasn't feeding bears in spite of a few of the bears lounging in her back yard while he was there (I think they were probably waiting for the cafeteria to open). He left there and visited with a few nearby neighbors who corroborated the story I had shared with him, you, the legislative liaison, and Carl Mumpower. So, he contacted Buncombe County Animal control and a Buncombe County Assistant District Attorney who apparently told he that, with appropriate evidence, he would prosecute her.
When I again talked to Capt. Kirkland that same evening, here's what he related to me. He went back to the bear-feeding-lady's house and apparently told her that he knew she had lied to him, so here is what will happen. Through the Buncombe County Sheriff's Division of Animal Control, evidence collection will begin. Once proof of feeding is obtained by them, the County ADA will begin legal proceedings against her. Further, in the event an person in the area reports being charged at by a bear or being injured by a bear (which has occurred recently in nearby Haw Creek), they will be forced to come back and shoot the bear. Since they will not know which bear actually committed the offense, they will necessarily have to shoot all twelve of them AND it will be HER FAULT! (emphasis added)
Tough talk indeed, and I truly hope it does not come to that. However, in the several days since Capt. Kirkland's two visits to her, bear activity in the neighborhood has diminished substantially in my view. I have not noticed any bears on her property, nor have I seen them around the neighborhood at all. I want to believe and I hope that his tough talk had the effect of returning her into the realm of common sense and good neighborliness. We'll see what happens. Like they say on the news programs, "Film at eleven."
For the moment, we are in a wait and see mode; I hope it's over. Please accept my sincere appreciation for your immediate and effective intervention and please share it with the legislative liaison and Captain Kirkland. Carl, it goes without saying that I appreciate you referring this to the right guy, but I'll say it anyway . . . Thank You!
If this is all that was needed to solve our problem, I will let this letter suffice for a final report. However, if further action is necessitated I will let you know what happened in the future.
While I'm writing to you, allow me to also thank you for your bill to separate the city of Asheville into separate voting districts. Even though we live just outside the corporate limits, we appreciate your effort to bring some balance into the political life of the city that has control over so much that also affects us. This is a righteous effort, and I thank you very much!

Every parent's worst nightmare happened last month when 16-year-old Makenzie Wethington's parachute failed to properly eject after skydiving. Her dad had jumped right before her.
Wethington fell 3,500 feet without a proper parachute, according to the Daily Mail. Incredibly, she survived the fall.
Today, she is up and moving around and even answered questions at a press conference. When asked if she'd ever jump again, she responded, "As much as I would like to, I think that my parents and the rest of my family would die if I did. They're against that now." And we can understand that feeling!
Luckily, her doctors say that she's expected to make a full recovery. She's walking around with the assistance of a walker and is regularly in a wheelchair. Wethington is expected to be released from the hospital in about a week but will need ongoing therapy.
Best of luck, Makenzie!

text: Beautiful rustic finca style house tastefully reformed 20 years ago using antique terracotta floors, antique doors, stone wall features and wooden beams. The garden is being kept rustically with big old trees, such as garrob and olive and a selection of fruit trees such as lemon, plum, nispero, pomegranate and so on. There is gas central heating radiators throughout the whole house. This house is situated in Benitachell, at only a short walk from Benitachell village and supermarkets. The property is very private and is also close to schools, golf course, municipal heated swimming pool, and beaches. There is plenty of off road parking and the plot is completely flat. It has beautiful open views toward Benitachell and the Montgo. There are 2 entrances to the plot and also to the house. Entering the property from the parking area it takes us into a good sized fully fitted kitchen with chimney, dining with a lot of light because of a big skylight and a high ceiling. Off the kitchen you find a store room/utility room with a large pantry. From the dining area around the corner it takes you into the lounge and television area with a fireplace, also on this side you find a small shower room and the other entrance. At the side of the chimney is a staircase to the upper floor with 1 double bedroom, the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden, a complete bathroom and a third bedroom that for the moment is being used as an office and is open towards the kitchen. From here a wooden staircase leads down into the kitchen/dining area. At the side of the entrance door into the lounge is a storage/boiler room. On the plot is another building with a large study that was prepared as music room and as a gym and there are two horse stables and an extra room. This could all easily been turned into a guest house.

Sciatica risk factors
Sciatica risk factors refer to the specific circumstances that make a person more inclined to develop pain in the lower body as a result of sciatic nerve compression. One of the most common sources of sciatic nerve compression is age-related degeneration of the lumbar (lower) spine. Conditions like arthritis or degenerative disc disease can cause constriction of the nerve space in this area and potentially compress the sciatic nerve.
When this nerve becomes compressed, a number of symptoms — known collectively as sciatica — can occur, causing muscle pain, tingling and weakness throughout the lower body, usually on one side. These symptoms can severely impact your life if they become chronic, making it difficult to do everyday activities like cooking or working in the yard. If you have dealt with sciatica symptoms and want to know how to prevent another flare-up, knowing about the lifestyle choices that are related to this condition can be a great first step in getting back to a healthy, active lifestyle.
Sciatica risk factors you can avoid
While sciatica is related to the natural aging process, which cannot be avoided, there are a number of activities that can increase the likelihood that a person develops the condition. Sciatica risk factors include:
- Smoking cigarettes or consuming alcohol excessively
- Engaging in a sedentary lifestyle
- Participating in high-impact sports or exercise
- Engaging in repetitive physical activities, like lifting boxes
- Carrying excess body mass
- Injury
Taking steps to avoid or cease these behaviors can lead to tangible improvements in your spine health that can relieve pain and improve mobility. For example, a diet and exercise plan designed to help a patient lose weight while strengthening core muscles can take pressure off the lower spine and potentially relieve sciatic nerve compression.
Treatment options
If sciatica pain is still affecting your life despite the addressing risk factors like the ones above, there are many treatment options available. In many cases, patients find relief through a course of doctor-prescribed conservative methods, including pain medication, physical therapy and massage.
Surgery can become an option when conservative methods have been exhausted without the improvement in symptoms you need for a good quality of life. For an alternative to traditional open spine procedures, contact Laser Spine Institute to learn about minimally invasive outpatient spine surgery. Because we can access the spine with a less than 1-inch incision, our patients experience a shorter recovery time^ and less risk of complication compared to traditional surgery.
Call today for a no-cost MRI review* to determine if you are a potential candidate for one of our procedures.

One of my pet peeves in real estate is my fellow counsel failing to explain documents to his or her client at closing, Each time I see it happen, I cringe. And I always wonder why clients don't question more. Trust in a professional is fine, but your signature is your most important asset at times— don't affix it without total comprehension!
Only once did I witness someone balk at being short-changed by an attorney. At this closing, the buyers paled when they took a look at the pile of mortgage papers to be signed. Their attorney told them not to worry, and just start signing.
He assured them that all the papers were "standard," and besides, he knew everything in them. "Really?" asked a buyer. You got here the same time as we did, and haven't read one thing. Let's go through all the papers together!"


text: Brian Shaw has just successfully deadlifted 985lb / 448kg whilst training for the 2013 Worlds Strongest Man (WSM) competition. Brian was focusing on single rep deadlifts during the WMS workout and after warming up he started his first single at 725lb / 330kg. Admittedly I was surprised he managed 985lb given his height (6ft 8) and the speed he got from his earlier lifts in the clip. Brian Shaw is edging ever so close to the overall world record raw deadlift of 1015lbs / 461kg currently held by Benedikt Magnusson. It certainly looks like he has potential to take the world record deadlift, but in order to qualify he would need to lose the straps and ensure he doesn't hitch at the top of the lift (easier said than done.)

The addition of a Patio or Deck area to your home is undoubtedly a wise and financially rewarding investment in your property. The value that is added when you increase the living space and create an extended open living area from the indoors can be immense. With the right design and materials, you can create a look that won't date and will add value for years to come.
A Deck or Patio/Alfresco area can add up to $100,000 value to your home. Our Australian climate lends itself so well to outdoor living areas, and a lot of home buyers look for this when purchasing. Extra entertaining space separate to the general living and dining is prerequisite for a lot of families these days and the addition of an outdoor area connected to the main house is one of the simplest ways to create it.
Insulated roofing allows for an almost seamless transition from indoors to outdoors with lighting, fans, and other electrical optional features to make your outdoor area practical and functional for the family 24/7.
Before you look to sell or upgrade your home, consider the value and difference an outdoor area can make.
At Gold Coast Patios & Blinds we are well aware that more than often you just want to know a rough idea of what you're in for, however before you decide to ask for a quote over the phone next time, take a few minutes to read the below and see if you will get what you really need out of the quote…
"Why do I need a site visit? I don't have time" is a phrase we hear quite often when we have quote requests. It's generally closely followed by "I know what I want", "I have the dimensions".
"I know the dimensions". A quote created from a square meterage and basic details is only ever an approximate estimation. All jobs that include GCP&B performing the installation require a site visit by one of our consultants. So even if we give you a quote over the phone, you will still need to book in if you would like to go ahead. A site visit includes so much more than just measuring out where you would like the structure. Our consultants are trained to look at a structure being "fit for purpose", practical, per regulation, and to listen to your requirements and design a structure that will suit your needs. Your future structure is so much more than a roof, posts and beams.
"I know what I want". With several suppliers, colours, materials, and more, we are far more likely to get it right the first time if we are able to discuss everything with you and see the area. Arranging a site visit also allows you to see and feel some of the materials and colour options available. It also allows us to discuss options you may not have thought possible or knew about. There are multiple sizes of posts and beams, aluminium/steel or timber or timber look (yes that's right, we have timber look steel posts). There are different thicknesses of insulated roofing. There are multiple ways we can stabilise the posts for the build. There are many different ways your roof can attach to the existing residence. Where is your downpipe going? It must be connected to storm water. Do you need a permit? Do you want a basic engineered design or something a little more fancy with aesthetically pleasing "feature" elements. All of these questions can be discussed with a consultant and ensure you're getting the most out of your investment.
"I can specify things later I just want a basic quote". There is no such things as a basic quote if you want a proper estimation. A stitch in time saves nine. Our consultants and estimators spend quite a bit of time drawing up plans, and costing your quote. Every build is engineered to ensure it is built to regulation. The simplest seeming adjustment like changing from non-insulated to insulated roofing requires time to re-cost and re-engineer. This is not to say that you must know exactly what you want the first time round, however investing the time to meet with a consultant and discuss in detail all of the options, gives us a much better basis to ensure the quote is accurate.
We offer a FREE measure and quote. It is what we prefer to do if you are serious about building a new structure in the near future. We would prefer to spend an hour or 2 with you now and know that we've created exactly what you are after than go back and forth adjusting things, which will ultimately take more time. Meeting with a consultant also allows us to get a feel for your budget with your requirements, we understand that sometimes a small difference can make all the difference and are always happy to discuss price options and adjust things to fit your budget where we can.
Invest the time and we promise you'll be happy with the outcome.

Such a beautiful color with its own built in highlighter. I LOVE this product. Easy to apply and you can't seem to apply too much. I am going to get a different color next timenika047, NYWas this review helpful? 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Absolutely Gorgeous
The shade is accurate but a photo cannot capture the sheer satin finish this blush has. It's very soft and unike any other powder blush i have. It's very pigmented so a tiny bit on the brush is all you need for a pretty flush look. This is now my favorite cheek product.I also purchased the palette and a lipstick, this entire collection is very impressive.RaceyRoller, COWas this review helpful? 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Soda Springs in Caribou County, Idaho — The American West (Mountains)
Ground Observer Corps National Campaign
In March 1954, a letter from N.F. Twining, Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, voiced his concern about the growing capabilities of the Soviet Union to launch a surprise air attack against the country and stated how extremely important the Ground Observer Post was. This was emphasized further in June 1954 by Dwight D. Eisenhower.
With the belief that the Korean War served as a precursor to a possible Soviet attack, Air Defense Command had little difficulty recruiting volunteers. The Air Force used a variety of means to recruit volunteers, including newspaper, magazine, and radio ads. One radio advertisement announced:
"It may not be a very cheerful thought but the Reds right now have about a thousand bombers that are quite capable of destroying at least 89 American cities in one raid ... Won't you help protect your country, your town, your children? Call you local Civil Defense office and join the Ground Observer Corps today."
Location. 42° 39.385′ N, 111° 36.305′ W. Marker is in Soda Springs, Idaho, in Caribou County. Marker can be reached from East 1st Street South Touch for map. Marker is in this post office area: Soda Springs ID 83276, United States of America.

How to write subject lines that make buyers want to open your emails
Last Friday I received 56 unsolicited emails.
56 in one day. And that's just the one's that managed to get through my spam filters (note that when I say unsolicited, for many of them I probably did sign up or get added to their mailing lists at some point in time).
Of those 56 I clicked on 11 and deleted the rest without opening them. I counted this because last week I had a question from someone on my video training series about writing compelling sales emails asking me about what to write in a subject line to make someone want to open it.
It's a great question – you can write the best sales email you have ever written in your whole life, but if the subject line sucks, it will get deleted before it has a chance to get read. Of the 11 that I chose to read based on their subject line, 7 of them turned out to be spam (or what I consider to be spam – content that has no real relevance to me and what [...]
This is the single most important part of a great sales email
Every day around the world billions of emails are being sent – quite literally. In 2015, research by The Racadati Group found that around 2015 Billion emails are being sent globally each and every day.
Amongst all of these emails that are shooting all around the place are millions and millions of sales emails. And as I said in my last post, I bet the majority of them are pretty bad – which means that the chances of a decision maker not only reading your email, but then taking the time to reply to it and agree to a meeting is slim.
Unless what's in your email is pretty darn compelling.
What to include in a great sales email
The way you structure a sales email and the content you include in it is critical. But before you even start thinking about that, there's an element that is even more critic [...]
Three ways to be seen as more trustworthy – a podcast with AmCham
Without trusted relationships in business, what do you have?
Suspicion. Wondering whether the other person has your best interests or their own really at heart. Worry about what another person's motives really are.
Obviously none of these are overly conducive to building trusted relationships that drive collaboration, winning work and people simply enjoying working with other people. Most people I speak to know that trust is important, but don't really understand what it actually means to build trust – they see it as something intangible, something that takes a long time, and something that feels potentially hard to do.
Recently I was fortunate to have a chat with Duff Watkins for the AmCham Podcast. We talked a lot about what it takes for people and organisations to build trust and be seen as more trustworthy, and I wanted t [...]
Why most sales emails don't work
Have you ever sent off a sales email to someone you really wanted to get a meeting with but got no response? Or if you got a response it was along the lines of 'no thanks' or 'I'm too busy' or 'I've already got a provider that I'm happy with'?
If you're anything like most of my clients, then the answer is yes.
Most of the time they're a bit puzzled by this. They'll say 'but our product/service is great, and totally what they need!'. But when they share with me exactly what it was that they sent off, I can tell them straight away why it didn't work.
Why most sales emails don't work
The reason why most sales emails (or sales calls) don't get the response that the sender was hoping for is because they are far too self-oriented. They tell the buyer:
- Who I am, who I work for, what my position is.
- What great product/servic [...]

Doggy Sickness...
It has taken me a while to update, but I just came back from vacations (actually I'm typing this in the airport waiting for my flight home). Before I left I have meant to post something on dogs being sick.
Half way through december Tjido became ill: quite a heavy diarreah, and it was so bad he couldn't even get off his coushion. I was worried about him but thought that he might just need some rest, until Joost went out the door for some groceries, and our normal barking/excited puppy just whimpered and tried to get up failing miserably.
That was too much for me, so I called the vet and there we went! Our vet initially blamed typical puppy habits of eating everything from the floor, but when he heard we gave him raw meat once a day his suspicion went more to his diet. In the end he gave him a shot and send him out with some easy-to-digest canned food and antibiotics. To make the story short, he was up and wagging his tail at the end of the day and we gave him plenty of water and his disgusting looking canned food.
But when we left the vet, his secretary asked if we had considered a health insurance for our dog... Since the whole "package" we got wasn't that cheap, to put it in soft words. We had originally looked at some, but thought it would cost us much more in the long run than an isolated accident. Some gave international insurance, other didn't. Some added the real expensive stuff (dental care). Some only covered 50% of costs and others you had to go premium for a full coverage. We haven't decided on anything yet.
So I guess my first question on this post is: Do you have a health insurance for your dog? And why did you (or not) decide to take it?
Tjido became a healthy dog again, but I don't know if I did the right thing by taking him to the vet, Later when taking to other dog owners they gave us more homey recipes to aid a sick dog (feeding him rice and boiled chicken for example). Joost also found out that after antibiotics, his stomach flora had been damaged so we had to give him a diet of 'less' clean meat so his bacteria can go to normal levels again.
There goes my second question of this post: What do you do when your dog is sick? How far do you let it go before calling a vet?
Tjido is again a happy healthy dog!
I hope you all had a great vacation season and enjoyed quality time with your family :)
Next posts will be on the following subjects: (yeah, 2013 resolutions: more posts!)
- Dog food: Raw food, dry food, costs and what to choose?
- New Puppy Classes: Teenager Dogs
- Home Alone: Continuation of our adventure, now day time alone.

Welcome back! :) We have also looked at insurances but could not find a Belgium one until last year and after reading the terms came to the conclusion that it was not worth it (€20-25/month) with the few visits we have and they don't cover dogs older than 10 (when you would need it).ReplyDelete
Well, I have a tendency to drag the dogs to the vet pretty fast if something looks even slightly out of the ordinary. It's pricey but I rather be safe than sorry and to have peace of mind. Though I'm not sure our dogs ever had such a severe diarrhea as Tjido, poor thing. I'm very glad he is fit for fight again!Replies
Hi Veronica!Delete
Yeah, that was also our conclusion in the end... I mean, maybe for breeds that are more prone to diseases you could think about it (Although to ask for an offer on the insurance website, you had to type in the breed of your dog... cheeky)
Same here: one can be unlucky with a dog being sick a lot, or suffering from an accident and have to visit the vet often as a result of that, but so far things have been within reason with our 2 Icelandic dogs (one almost 6 year and the other almost 3).ReplyDelete
In our case it would have been around EUR 50 per month to get the 2 dogs insured, and I don't think that would be worth it... we do not spend 600 plus euro each your on the vet bills of the dogs.
And that while we do tend to visit the vet fairly quickly when something's wrong - never more than 2 days in case of severe diarrhea or the likes (that doesn't go away with the home recipes). I must say that the stomach flora of our dogs has improved a lot after switching to raw food instead of dry food - they really thrive on that.Replies
Welcome to the blog! Thank you for your comment :)Delete
Indeed insurance seems to be more costly than the regular vet visits.. the math doesn't add up.
I am glad you bring up the raw food! That will be my next post :) our dog is having a combination right now, and I don't believe what my vet said about it being his food, it would have shown signs much earlier on.

Mercedes May Develop Uber-CLS To Compete With Continental GT
Mercedes is considering a move up the high-performance luxury sedan market in the form of a Bentley Continental GT/Flying Spur rival. Interestingly, it looks like the sporty four-door, if it comes to fruition, will be branded a Mercedes-Benz rather than a Maybach, Daimler's traditional ultra-premium Bentley rival.
According to anAutocar report, the possible Continental GT rival is being referred to internally as the "uber CLS," a pretty literal nickname in that the model would be based on Mercedes sport sedan flagship, but would be positioned above and beyond.
There's no indication as to what the engine would be, but it sounds as though it could use the top 507-hp 6.3-liter V8 from the CLS63 AMG tuned by AMG to compete with the Continental GT's 570 horses. The chassis would also get some requisite tuning to deliver tighter performance to justify the increased price.
In terms of looks, it's rumored that the uber-CLS would get an even more dramatic, sportier design than the CLS itself. I'm guessing a further slung back, fastback-style cabin with some extra muscle around the wheels.
Mercedes is said to be interested in the model as a way of competing against the likes of the Continental GT and Panamera GT in meeting demand for ultra-premium, high-performance four-seaters in markets such as Russia and the Middle East. While the initial car would be a Mercedes, a Maybach variant based on the platform is also a distinct possibility.

I wrote previously that there are many different reasons why people join the ADF and that everyone has their own story. But that's not to say that there are no similarities or shared values. In fact, militaries go to great lengths to encourage members to absorb and reinforce some core values. This is true of the Australian Army in general but it is especially true of frontline or "combat corps" soldiers. This includes any members of the infantry, artillery, armoured and combat engineers corps1.
I don't have firsthand experience of the indoctrination (and I don't mean that in a bad way) that occurred in combat corps training but I did see the results. Everyone I knew who had spent any length of time in one of those corps seemed to have a much deeper sense of duty, honour and camaraderie than the average pogue (a sometimes friendly, sometimes derogatory term for soldiers who aren't on the frontline). They were the sort of guys who would be willing to get in a fistfight, lie to the police or even risk their own lives in the name of loyalty to a mate. But if that same mate were to do something to betray their trust, such as stealing, sleeping with a comrade's wife or deserting their post, they would be the first to pick up the pitchforks and start a lynch mob.
The second season of the Serial Podcast is an interesting case study of this mindset. It's about the US military but the principle is the same. From what anyone can piece together it seems that the US Army was a bit lax in its recruiting process (partly or perhaps largely due to the pressing need for more troops) and accepted Bowe Bergdahl into the Army despite the fact he had a serious history of mental illness (as evidenced by his discharge from the US Coast Guard during basic training). At one point Bowe and a bunch of other soldiers were told off by their Commanding Officer and Command Sergeant Major (senior officer and senior soldier respectively) for a lack of discipline when it came to uniform, protective gear and not shaving2.
After a particularly scary experience (two IEDs, being stranded off base for days and then a firefight with the Taliban) the CO again brings up the shaving. For his part, Bowe interpreted this as his CO being out of touch and potentially dangerous and so he took it upon himself to desert his post and thereby cause a major kerfuffle that would draw attention to the situation. Unfortunately for Bowe he was picked up by the Taliban before he could make it to the safety of another base and he was held prisoner in terrible conditions for almost 5 years.
Deserting your post is a HUGE no-no in the military but most civilians I've talked to about this wonder why the US Army accepted him into their ranks and sent him to Afghanistan in the first place. The few who think he was at least partly in the wrong feel like five years as a POW in the hands of the Taliban is more than enough punishment for his crime.
And yet many military people see it differently, including many of his current and former comrades. Many think that at the very least he deserves a dishonourable discharge. Others argue that he deserves to go to jail. Technically he could even be executed but from what I can tell the only people pushing for that are more interested in selling books or winning votes than seeing justice served. That being said, according to his defence attorney, Bowe is constantly accompanied by at least two soldiers "to prevent third parties from injuring him".
For anyone trying to understand how much the military, especially frontline troops, values loyalty, you could do much worse than listening to season 2 of Serial.
According to doctrine, Army Aviation is also a combat corps but I spent two years posted to an Aviation Regiment and I suspect very few in Aviation would view themselves as frontline troops. The one exception might be the pilots… but they tended to view themselves as gods among men so I'm not sure how valid their views are ;) ↩
These may sound like minor issues but COs and CSMs take a much bigger picture view of these things. In addition to the added danger of not wearing protective gear (helmet and body armour) there is the issue of discipline. Whether or not it works, the military tends to take a "broken windows" approach to policing minor but visible infractions (such as uniforms being in order and shaving every day) in an effort to prevent more serious breakdowns of discipline. ↩

The Light Within
By Nancy Yule, CCSS Circle Member
My paddle slices into Her
The Lady in the Lake is dark, beautiful, sleek and mysterious
She whispers my name, my authentic soul name
And reminds me of my promise, my promise to return home
I plead with her once again….just a little more time…I promise….then I am yours.
She ripples in annoyance….that is always your reply…..
Fish are waiting to nibble on me,
They jump from the depths of Her to try to catch me.
Not today.
I paddle on.
A sweet breeze plays with the leaves on the tree….and the air is filled with laughter.
The trees sway and dance with the Wind…..in an act of sweet surrendering.
I close my eyes.
Hummingbird is telling me a whirl-wind story.
Follow your heart….like a compass. It knows The Way.
I look to the trees, and envision my descendants and ascendants standing proud…the ALL knowing.
They are with me.
I look up to them….and the sun filters down.
Baptizing me with Light.
I lean against a rock….and the rock laughs at me.
Reminding me….laughter is the heart song. And to sing it boldly.
Bird songs mimic the message…sing from your heart.
Your song.
Fairies swirl at my feet and draw a circular rainbow…..step into the rainbow to move forward.
They nestle in my hair….whispering…and giggling…
Being mischievous….is always a fun game to play.
I smile. Yes.
Spirit agrees.
Our hearts are smiling….we have received many great gifts on our journey.
The greatest gift of them all?
The Light that shines within all of us….light-heartedness.

Nancy shares her love for photography, in this slideshow of her photos whilst reading her poem The Light Within. The beautiful music Windansea by Balmorhea is flowing in the background. In joy.

They say that everyone has at least one book in them and it's just a case of putting pen to paper… Easier said than done we know, but if you never try you'll never know. Let us explain with a short story…
Simon Coster, a lorry driver by trade, had always invented bedtime stories for his children. Around a year ago he decided to write one of them down and use his talent for illustration to create paintings to illustrate the book. He contacted a few literary agents on the off-chance not expecting much, but got interest almost straightaway. We at Pixooma used his text and illustrations to produce a book design for him and created print-ready artwork so that it could be shown in context to interested publishers. Within a month he had a deal with a publisher in New York and little over a year later the book is printed and on sale on Amazon!
His story is written to appeal to adults and children alike and is about two children and their 'favourite dinosaurs'. Throughout the story, which is written entirely in rhyme, the two children's descriptions of their dinosaurs abilities become more and more bizarre such as eating cacti in their sleep or knitting sweaters with the sheep still attached!
Simon's story just goes to show that you never know until you try!
What will be your story?
Whether it is a action adventure, a swooning historical romance or a warmly-nostalgic retrospective of classic 1980's games consoles, maybe you just need to get some ideas down on paper. We can't help with plotlines, creating a back-story or creating character profiles, but if you need a design for a book-jacket, a magazine or newsletter then that's more our area and we'd love to hear from you.
Fans of detective fiction who can always guess the ending will have noticed that the author of 'My Dinosaur is More Awesome' shares a surname with our Creative Director, Mark. This is no coincidence as they are brothers and Mark is immensely proud of the published author in his family! …

This morning I was in need of something fun to get my juices going, so I visited a few challenge blogs. I stopped when I got to The Pink Elephant and saw that their current challenge was "Red, Brown and Pink". That I could do!
I set to work first creating a soft background with distress inks. I stamped my Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress inks onto my largest acrylic block, spritzed it with water and stamped the block down on some glossy cardstock. I then overstamped the Almanac page with Work Lipstick over this background. I stamped the swingers onto some soft pink designer paper and then punched them out with an oval punch. I did the same with the Miss You sentiment, matting both ovals with red.
Swing and Miss You
Stamps: Miss You and little swingers from Relish Reading plate (Rogue Redhead Designs)
Paper: Fleur d'Lis Light from the Heritage line (Making Memories)
Cardstock: Real Red (Stampin Up); glossy cardstock (Stampland Chicago)
Ink: Timber Brown (StazOn); Spun Sugar and Work Lipstick (Ranger Distress Ink)
Other: oval and scallop punch (Marvy)
May your day turn out rosey!

In reference to Nick\'s post.
Ignorance is sometimes bliss.
I do not wish to believe that our government knew what was to come on the morning of 9/11.
Perhaps, they may of had warnings... like the many we always hear about but I will not believe they had a blue print.
GOD BLESS AMERICA! and our right to post!
