Car buying service expands its 100 percent free, 100 percent hassle-free, 100 percent buying guarantee.
SellAnyCar.com, the Middle East's first car buying service that guarantees it will purchase any car within 30 minutes following a free online evaluation and free car inspection, has selected Fasttrack vehicle servicing centres in select Emarat locations. SellAnyCar.com will place a dedicated inspector at Fasttrack locations to offer fast and free inspections to customers wanting to sell their car to SellAnyCar.com.
The move indicates SellAnyCar.com's growing regional credentials, now burnished by collaborating with a large, trusted, vehicle service company. The collaboration will offer SellAnyCar.com customers maximum convenience and extend SellAnyCar.com's pre-sale inspection capabilities nationwide.
SellAnyCar.com with branches all over the country prides itself on its competitive prices and ability to purchase cars straightaway, regardless of make, model and even condition. The company operates on the principles of a 100 percent free and 100 percent hassle-free car buying service that offers instant payment and a 100 percent purchase guarantee regardless of car make, model, age or condition.
"SellAnyCar.com has already revolutionized the car selling experience in the region with its guarantee of purchasing cars of any make or model within 30 minutes of an online evaluation and physical inspection. Our collaboration with Fasttrack not only improves SellAnyCar.com customer service and physical reach but also gives us the advantage of being backed by a large, established brand. This is yet another step to ensuring that SellAnyCar.com can offer a fast, easy, fair and regionally available car-buying service in a market characterised by high vehicle turnover," said Saygin Yalcin, Founder and CEO of SellAnyCar.com.
Fasttrack is considered the best alternative to authorized Auto Dealers for vehicle servicing. The company's ability to offer relatively fast and wide services make it a preferred port of call for regular vehicle maintenance.
"We are pleased to have been selected by SellAnyCar.com for their customers' car inspection, offering their consumers a hassle-free way to sell their vehicle. Fasttrack was established to offer customers a unique, convenient way of maintaining their vehicles. Now, with our cooperation with SellAnyCar.com, we can offer Fasttrack services to SellAnyCar.com customers. Fasttrack is proud to be an excellent alternative to auto dealers for vehicle services, which now includes the ability to get SellAnyCar.com customer vehicle inspected" said Ahmad Ayyash: General Manager, Fasttrack, Emarat.
SellAnyCar.com guarantees hassle free car sales for its consumers and cures the asymmetry of information between buyer and seller when it comes to car value and condition. An online evaluation is followed by a standardized, maximum 30-minute, manual inspection on site to determine fair value. Sellers can expect instant payment.
Boiler PlateSellAnyCar.com has been founded by Saygin Yalcin, a German entrepreneur of Turkish descent. He is best known as founder of the first and largest online private shopping club in the Middle East, Sukar.com and as a partner at Jabbar Internet Group, the holding company created through the sale of the world's largest Arab online community Maktoob.com to Yahoo! in September 2009. Saygin is also a partner in Souq.com Group, the largest ecommerce company in the Arab world that has names such as Souq.com, CashU.com and QExpress under its umbrella. Saygin is also Academic Lecturer of Entrepreneurship and Ecommerce at the Canadian University of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Duo Trailer: Join the movement
Ewals Cargo Care introduced the Duo trailer movement at the Transport Logistic fair in Munich. The Duo trailer is a combination of one truck towing two trailers of 13,6 meters, linked by a "dolly". The Duo trailer is not yet allowed to drive on the European roads, although it is successfully tested on a small scale in Sweden.
As Ewals Cargo Care we see some major advantages like a CO2 reduction of up to 40%, cost reduction for customers, and relief to a decreasing population of drivers. Furthermore this transport concept makes maximum use of intermodality by using existing standards (13,6m trailer) and existing infrastructure (rail wagons, yards, ferry slots). Therefore we see this as an additional solution to our intermodal transport services: next to single combination road, rail and ferry.
For more information please have a look at the videos below:

Listening to how the words are actually pronounced makes a whole lot of difference. Before I could only guess in my head as to the sound.
Nautilus got me stumped because the only two I know about are Captain Nemo's ship and the first
nuclear submarine that successfully navigated under the North Pole.
We certainly could use some of the rain here. about an inch or two. Hard to look at other people suffering from too much rain when you have had too few.
Of course everything is going back to Katrina in comparison.
Pretty exciting second half to the Vikings game yesterday. Just goes to show that it's always the score at the end that counts, no matter how far ahead you are if you end up loosing no one really cares that you were up 24-3 at half time.

A lot of things started shaking loose last week, and not just in Haiti. The Scott Brown senate seat victory in Massachusetts shook loose a Democratic "super-majority" that only had to be constructed because the US Senate stupidly turned the filibuster into standard operating procedure where it once was a seldom-used procedural dodge employed strictly by villains seeking to paralyze the chamber.
Thanks to the new system, the senate is now in a continual state of paralysis.
The election in Massachusetts prompted President Obama to understand that the voters were pissed off -- among other things -- about the special privileges of banks and bankers, after a year of force-feeding them taxpayer money like Strasbourg geese. So he outlined a bank discipline offensive that sounded an awful lot like the return of the Glass-Steagall Act -- which several of his top advisors (Summers, Rubin...) had a direct hand in repealing a decade ago -- only without proposing to reinstate Glass Steagall. Go figure. Note: for all the bluster, Mr. Obama did not mention activating the moribund Department of Justice, where Attorney General Eric Holder has been in a coma all year.

Skewville Roll through London
As mentioned here on the Blog, Skewville rolled into town last week for a solo show at the High Roller Soceity. I've been a fan of the two brothers work for a while now but seeing it in the flesh definitely gave me a fresh perspective on it.
What's more it was good to see an artist use the space to show their work rather than simply hang some stuff on a wall. Not to say the stuff on the walls wasn't good – there was a fantastic mix of wood cuts, mousetraps (not as crap as that sounds) and pasted hand built wooden boxes. But more than that the entire gallery floor had been painted, the inside of a door had "Beef!" printed all over it. To top it all a white-walled tyre sat in the middle of the gallery with "Slow your roll" cut into the rubber.
All in all a great show and definitely one you should check out if you're in the area.

Battle Creek's Mayor, Dave Walters – aka Battle Creek's #1 cheerleader – was this week's speaker. Dave has spent his life in the Battle Creek community and is serving his 3rd term as mayor. He is a graduate of Lakeview High School and has taught at Kellogg Community College. Dave retired from the Battle Creek Police Department and is a VP and Financial Consultant for Hilliard Lyons. He enjoys mountain biking, participating in martial arts and shooting. Dave also serve on the executive board of BCU and on the board of Global HapKiDo Association/Korean Martial Arts.
Using a motto that was developed by the Community Foundation, Dave encouraged us to "Believe in Battle Creek!" "Battle Creek needs cheerleaders" declared our Mayor. "There are so many positive things going on in our community. They need to be shared." Dave challenged us to realize that "Change Happens" and that we need to embrace our community in the midst of change. He also shared with us that there are many "Great Prospects" that will make a difference. From the potential of a "Missile Defense System," that is a real possibility for Ft. Custer, to a partnership with China and South Korea that will bring up to 1500 students to our community, there are many exciting things happening in Battle Creek. Dave believes that there are some great days ahead for our city and he, along with the City Commissioners, will do everything possible to see that Battle Creek not only survives, but thrives. Thanks Dave for your leadership and hard work. Let's all "Believe in Battle Creek" and make our community a great place to live, work and play!

My One Million Friends
My One Million Friends is a very innovative website started up by a fellow doubler. He has decided to ask all of his friends to donate money to his cause and in return will put their picture and link to their website on the site homepage. If you donate $10 or more you get primary placement in his 'Best Friends' section which is ordered according to the amount you donate (obviously with the highest amounts in the most prominant positions). I think it is a fantastic idea (I only wish I had thought of it first!!) and joking aside, wish him all the best of luck in raising lots of money from his friends.

Today's newest victim for the torture table is GIGABYTE's new Z270X-Gaming SOC, their flagship overclocking motherboard. This board has one job, and only one job, to be as fast as physically possible while pushing your CPU as far as possible. There's notably fewer features than the Z170X-SOC Force, though, because GIGABYTE has gone back to the roots of the extreme overclocker with this board. If anything can handle the punishment, it'll be this board. Read More

GIGABYTE X99 SOC Champion Motherboard Review
It has been a while since anything GIGABYTE has graced us with its presence at Overclockers.com, but it has come back with a vengeance in the form of their top of the line X99 overclocking motherboard – the X99 SOC Champion. You may remember a news article we published a couple weeks back outlining some of the features the new Champion series motherboards offer, such as faster XMP profile support (up to 3400 MHz!), all digital PWM, Realtek ALC1150 audio, and the Killer E2200 NIC, etc. Read More
GALAX GTX 980 SOC Video Card Review
Today we get a chance to review another Maxwell based GPU. Thankfully, we have moved on from the teaser Maxwell in the GTX 750 Ti and on to the big boys in the GTX 970 and 980 (but likely not the biggest!). NVIDIA has made some significant changes to this architecture including, but not limited to, much lower power consumption and more efficient use of the available shaders, and also memory throughput (via compression). In my hands is a GALAX (formerly Galaxy) GTX 980 SOC, or Super Overclocked to be precise. This card takes NVIDIA's reference design to another level with a more robust power delivery area and better cooler to name a couple of things. It's time to take her out for a test drive and see if we can melt the rubber down to the rims! Read More
Gigabyte Radeon HD 5870 SOC (Super Overclock) Review
I recently received a couple treats from Gigabyte Japan, namely a pair of new Radeon HD 5870 Super Overclock or "SOC" edition video cards. These cards feature a "binned" GPU, a custom PCB with tons of high-end features, and a custom air cooler. They also come with a factory rating of 950MHz for the GPU and 1250MHz for the GDDR5 memory, a significant boost over the 850/1200MHz speed of the reference cards. I took this beast of a card, and as you might expect, I put it through its paces with a buffet of benchmarks to find the absolute limits of performance. Read More

Lines on the face tattoos of aging,
Life is proved upon the body
Like needle-jabs from a blind machine.
Deng Ming~Dao
He goes on to say , "In life, it is we who select what we will become by the actions we perform. There is no reason to go through life thoughtlessly, to let accident shape us. That is like allowing yourself to be tattooed by a blind man."
Wednesday I put on my shoes and went for a walk. I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed by so many things lately, as I am sure each of you feel in your lives as you go along. So when I saw this Blue Heron (look close) on my walk, it made my heart smile. I have always felt that the Blue Heron is my Spirit Animal and they always seem to make an appearance when I need them to, even when I don't realize it.
This morning when I left the house, I saved this picture here on TypePad and was going to finish my post when I got home. When I finally had time to sit down after a busy day and had time to think about my post, it was a completely different post than what I had planned in my mind.
I pulled out my favorite book tonight thinking I would land on a meditation about feeling overwhelmed for inspiration for my post, but instead I landed on the quote above, which made complete sense today when I thought about it.
Last month I turned the page to a new decade...60, and today, exactly a month later Ken turned that page. I won't lie, I struggled with it for a few days and then moved on, but today I watched Ken go through the same struggle...the struggle is real, but time marches on and we can either keep up with it or not.
When we are young, we never think about aging until we are, but yet in our minds we settle our brains to see our 30 something self because even at 60 you really don't feel that much different other than gaining some knowledge and experience along the way....and my thirties were fun! Days filled with children, work and new explorations along with the struggles of our 30 year old selves. I know our sixties will be filled with special times as well with different explorations and different struggles, but even when we make mistakes as we all will, we get to select who we will become by our actions and our heart.
Nope, this was not the post I had in mind when I sat down this morning.at.all.
That Blue Heron made me smile and contemplate beyond the moment.

After a stunning 49 point finals victory over the Sydney Swans, Phil Davis was last to leave the field into the Giants sheds at the SCG. Club supremo Tony Shepherd was backslapping his on-field leader and asking him "Do you know who you just beat?, who you just kept goalless?" Whilst respectful, Davis ignored the praise, it seemed he was still in "the zone" still focused after a best on ground performance that kept the Sydney Swans franchise man Lance Franklin to zero goals. It was a remarkable performance from a footballer who has made many defining statements over his career whether it be to improve technique or reject a culture of losing, Phil Davis has walked the talk big league.
From the onset, Greater Western Sydney Giants skipper Phil Davis stamped his authority on this game. Incredibly he could be seen during the warm-up phase, running solitary short sprints in a coned lane right in front of the Swans race and under the noses of opposing personnel in John Longmire and Tom Harley. It was a subtle, yet powerful reminder that he had come to play and he wasn't about to see his season ended by the cross town rivals.
With Phil Davis setting the tone, he was ably assisted by his teammates who set out to absolutely destroy and dismantle the Sydney team, via a four quarter, tenacious display of committed, power football. It was a different strategic approach compared to their infamous finals debut against the Swans of a couple of seasons ago. This time it was hard in the contest, with measured aggression and scoreboard pressure.
Giants defender Zac Williams was playing his first game for the 2018 season and he played as if he hadn't missed any football. The dash was back as he picked up 9 disposals in the first 24 minutes of the game. Importantly the Giants cashed in on their scoring opportunities when they were presented in a tight first quarter contest. In the Giants backline Phil Davis harassed and kept Lance Franklin under pressure and gave nothing away to his opponent.
Late in the first quarter, key Giants player Josh Kelly suffered a concerning knee injury, that saw him take no further part in the game. It was revealed days later that he had suffered a minor meniscus tear in the knee and would miss the 1st Semi final against Collingwood, but would be a good chance to return if the Giants proceed to the preliminary final next week against Richmond. Despite the Kelly loss, the Giants covered well in a similar fashion a few weeks ago in Canberra, when Josh suffered a concussion.
In the second quarter, the Giants kept their tight grip on the game. Callan Ward was right amongst the contest earning 29 disposals for the game. Like co-captain Phil Davis it was a game defining effort that inspired his fellow teammates. Harry Himmelberg again continued to step up in a final match. He kicked two important goals for the game. He provided real presence in the forward area and his goal kicking abilities were extremely valuable. Matt de Boer was another who relished the finals pressure. We cannot fathom how the Freo Dockers let Matt go who only a few years ago was a key forward player for the Purple Haze in a finals campaign. At the main break the Giants held a handy 15 point break.
In 7 years of observing Greater Western Sydney football, the third quarter they played against the Sydney Swans was one of the greatest quarters of football I have ever seen from the boys in grey and orange. They kept the Sydney Swans to only 2 behinds and put scoreboard pressure on. Jeremy Cameron kept presenting, Davis remained unflappable at the back and all of the Giants players banded together to harass and pressure Sydney at every contest. It continued into the final term where the Swans were finally able to kick two "junk" goals. It didn't make any difference as the Swans were terrible. Their usual key players went missing. You could be excused in thinking that Isaac Heeney, Callum Sinclair, Will Hayward and others had disappeared. They had minimal effect on the game and simply went missing. They were shocking with only 4 goals for the match which was woeful in a finals game. It was also the lowest ever score posted by any team at the SCG. It was also the lowest finals score since 1960 when Collingwood kicked 2.2 in the 1960 grand final against Melbourne.
John Longmire was at a loss to explain what went wrong. He stated that nothing worked right on the night. When we asked him about the Davis / Franklin contest, he almost choked on containing his remarks on the bath Davis gave his star forward. He also remarked that Franklin had a hip injury which could have affected his performance. For the Giants, Leon Cameron remained focused and was obviously delighted with the effort. We asked him if it was the most comprehensive Giants win Cameron responded "Obviously the stakes are high, so it's obvious to acknowledge the four quarters in which we beat them on the scoreboard and in most key indicators which was really impressive".
So the Sydney Swans fall again in a final. Sure it's great to make the finals campaign, however as we stated after the 2016 grand final loss to the Western Bulldogs, the Sydney Swans are not closers. Never mind how many games they win, they cannot advance any further and we put much of this down to coach John Longmire and his strategic approach which requires a much needed overhaul. His over emphasis on the reliance on Lance Franklin is costing them. I don't buy into the youthful, inexperienced forward line angle. It's a forward structure set up issues and it was clearly in evidence on Saturday with Davis and Franklin. Longmire needs new football minds in the box and new ideas and some new players. Dan Hannebery has played his last game for the Swans as it was revealed during the week he will be seeking a move back to Melbourne with St-Kilda. Gary Rohan is also seeking a trade move. This should free up some much need salary cap relief and could help the Swans secure Darcy Moore if he becomes available. In our opinion Sydney did not improve on last year. Despite not starting the year at 0-6 as in 2017, they lost 6 home games which is something a club cannot afford to drop. The Gold Coast loss was an absolute shocker and telling on where this football program is heading.
The Greater Western Sydney Giants now head down to Melbourne for what we deem as the "Christians vs the Lions" 2.0 game. Last year the Giants boys had to front up to a parochial, manic crowd of 90,000 Richmond fans. This time it will be the black & white army of Collingwood with a massive crowd tipped as well. The Giants fans are dearly hoping for a reverse result. The boys will have learnt plenty from last year and on how to handle the noise and pressure. Hopefully Phil Davis and the lads can pouch this game and get another crack and sweet payback against the Tigers in the preliminary final.

Welcome to 2018! Starting the year gives you the opportunity to start new goals, continue to work on old goals, and evaluate to make sure that your goals are leading you in the right direction. Generally, I like to review the previous year, and think about what works and what doesn't. 2017 had it's ups and downs, but I learned a lot, about myself, my goals, and important things in my life. I transferred into a new job, that I enjoy, and financially, we are making progress. For the next year, I'm hoping to keep moving forward.
This year, I would like to travel, continue to learn about myself, and keep working toward happiness. How do you decide what your goals are? What things would you like to make happen in 2018? I have talked with some people who are hoping to change careers, or find a job that helps them feel better about themselves and their future. Never underestimate the power of having a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and looking forward to going to work. There are so many other things to consider when setting goals for the new year as well. Do you have relationships in your life that are supportive and sustaining? Being surrounded by loving supportive people is important as you take on the world, and whatever comes with it.
When it come to learning about myself, the more I learn the more I understand that I have more to learn. When working with patients, it's important to start with what's working for them and what is not. When it comes to what is not working, we talk about what they have control over. We all have control over how we feel and what we do, but unfortunately we can't control others. We can try to influence others, but in the end we can't change them. When it comes to my kids, I learn more about that every day. As I learn more about myself, I'm able to work on my goals and get help when I need it, but I'm still a work in progress.
I chose travel as a goal because there is still so much that I would like to be able to see. From the Grand Canyon, to St. Augustine, Florida, and lots of things in between, I like visiting new places. I love quaint little towns, and mountains. I like camping, and whiking ( something between walking and hiking). I like being outside, meeting new people, and exploring new things. I like traveling in the states, but would still like to visit other places.
Whatever your goals for the new year, make the new year meaningful. Plan for the future, but make sure that you are living in the present. After so many movies related to Scrooge over the holidays, I have a renewed focus on living in the past the present and future, but mostly the present. I have to admit that I tend to focus too far ahead, and lose what's important today. I'm hoping to get better at that this year as well. As the new year begins, I just hope to be happy and healthy, have my family, and enjoy all my blessings. I wish all the same for you, and I wish you the best, as you continue on your journey to be happy for life.

With anything in life, it always seems as if at 99% of it is preparation and the same could be said about home repairs. They can be a lot of hard work, even if you are one of those kinds of people who enjoy the whole thing and the challenge of solving a problem. The old adage has never been more apt than in this situation of 'if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail'.
When you are carrying out major renovations to your property or upgrading it and plumbing or heating repairs are involved, in all honesty, it is probably best to call in professional contractors. But if you decide to do it yourself, there are a number of things you should check. This includes checking your septic tank system, water heater and water pressures will be capable of handling the increased demands of your renovated property.
You then need to make a map of the existing systems in your property including all the bench drains, house drains, vents and supply lines. Look for opportune times for clean outs of the points that are accessible and take time to jot down the specific and general details of all the pipes and their sizes.
This map compromising of your notes and guide will be able to help you work out the best place to tie the lineage, supply lines and drain together; as well as enabling you to evaluate your system to an almost professional level. This will help you work out if the drainage systems and drains already in place within your property will be sufficient for your planned renovations.
With this extra bit of planning work, you should be able to save yourself some time, effort and most crucially, money. Planning ahead is always recommended and should be considered a good investment of your money and time.
Before you start installing water lines into additional or brand new plumbing fixtures, you need to spend some time making up which walls have water intake supply lines. You can do this using simple chalked lines, it doesn't even have to be professional chalk or anything too pricey, just simple chalk that kids use to get creative on their chalkboards or the pavements.
These are better than permanent markers or other ink pens because chalk marks can be easily rubbed off. From 2010 onwards fixtures as standard come with templates to help you with the markings. If not, you should place the fixture in its trap, piping and outlet pipes in place. After that, you need to make a plan of the route for your waste piping, sloping it at least 1 – 1 ¼ inches for every 3 – 4 ft of piping, to ensure there is a sufficient and consistent drainage volume over time, not just in the present but into the future. This should be done to take into consideration any shifts by the house into the sand or ground beneath it, that can occur sometimes. Mark a line for the position of the pipelines.
When it comes to plumbing and other repairs and renovations, the more planning and preparation you put in, the fewer problems you will face when you begin work.

Tragedy struck the Northwestern family last month after former offensive lineman Leon Brockmeier died of natural of natural causes. He was 34.
The team wanted to do something special during Saturday's matchup against Iowa to keep their former player's spirit alive inside the walls of Ryan Field. So senior left tackle Patrick Ward stepped up and wore No. 67 in his teammate's honor. After the Wildcats' 28-17 victory, Ward and the rest of the team met with the Brockmeier family to show their respect and support.
"We had a very special moment in the locker room after the game when Patrick Ward presented Melanie Brockmeier with the No. 67 jersey that Patrick wore and we lift this game up to the Brockmeier family. It was just one of those special moments that I don't think anyone in our football family will ever forget. I know the big fellow's looking down upon us and smiling from ear to ear."
"Pat's a very unselfish player," Colter added about his teammate. "He's my left tackle and that's a guy that I trust to block my back side every week. The things that he's doing in the field and in the classroom, he's an outstanding guy. We just wanted to have an impact on Leon's family and I hope they can carry that with them and that it was special for them because it was really special for us."

Clean Cut Kid @ the Arts Club
We love our home grown bands here at Ellipsis, and when Liverpool quartet Clean Cut Kid invited us along to their sold out show as part of Liverpool Music Week, there was no way I could refuse. The indie-pop outfit are one of those bands I've been advised time and again to go and see live but hadn't managed to, so we'll assume it's fate that this review can finally exist!
It's always refreshing to have a diverse sort of audience at a gig, and from the look of this Liverpool crowd, it was clear that Clean Cut Kid's infectious sound has spread to all corners of the city. Also in attendance was that vibrant buzz that you can't get off anything but a home crowd. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to catch the names of any of the three support acts (I blame the rowdy crowd) but all three were pleasing to the ear, each taking it in their stride and building the anticipation for the headliners. By this point, the music had been blasting for a couple of hours and Liverpool was alive and kicking, ready for Clean Cut Kid's set.
From the moment Clean Cut Kid hit the Arts Club stage, they didn't disappoint. As well as performing some new tracks "because we're in Liverpool," which got equally enthusiastic reactions from the crowd, the band also played their more well-known tracks, prompting singing from the old, young, drunk, and sober alike. A clear crowd favourite was 'Evelyn', which lead singer/guitarist Mike wrote for fellow singer/keyboardist Evelyn, who also happens to be his wife.
The Liverpool quartet also performed their newest single 'Make Believe,' the video for which involves a lot of sheets and probably some quite cramped musicianing – I'll leave it at that, but you should check it out at the bottom of this page! 'Vitamin C' was another now-termed 'oldie', yet nonetheless prompted a whale of a time for band and audience members alike. But my personal highlight was when 'We Used To Be In Love' filled the auditorium. Everyone in the vicinity was bobbing along at the very least, and the energy was just bouncing off the walls.
Clean Cut Kid dominate the stage, holding onto that sense of intimacy and respect from the audience when performing their emotion-fuelled tunes, but taking the time to introduce songs and chat to audience, which makes for a comfortable gig to watch. And then you have bass player Saul, who rubbishes the solemn, head-bopping bassist stereotype by spending the whole show literally bouncing with excitement. Clean Cut Kid are hailed as one of the nicest bands about, and I'd agree, right down to their onstage demeanour.
So where does that leave Clean Cut Kid? Energetic but earnest? Check. Local heroes? Yep. Ones to watch in the wider music scene? Definitely.

So like many people of the internet, I am obsessed with vloggers of Youtube. Specifically, those from England. Even more specifically, Dan and Phil.
If you live under a rock and have no idea who Dan and Phil are, I link you to danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil. Go on, look at their videos, I'll be waiting for you to return.
I literally do not know what it is with these two, but they've got me hooked. I'm watching old videos, I'm watching newer videos, but they've got me wasting hours of my time watching their gaming channel (which I do not game besides the Sims 4, yet i've been watching all their videos).
I've watched every collab Dan has made with any Youtuber possible, my favorites being his collabs with Tyler Oakley, who is as equally as hysterical as Dan and Phil. I mean, whats not to love about those two? They're both funny, British, and attractive. Especially Dan. Who I've been considering writing fanfiction about these past few days.
Go watch a video of theirs. I guarantee that you will be hooked on these two in an instant.

On Thursday January 26, 2017, approximately 175 parents, students, educators and other concerned community members attended the screening of the 2016 documentary Screenagers by Delaney Ruston, M.D. a family care physician and filmmaker. AFE would like to thank fellow sponsors: WFBHS Parent Association and Cumberland PTO.
After the screening, there was a brief talkback session with audience participation. Both adults and students spoke candidly about their personal experiences and reactions to the documentary. Students and parents in the audience offered many insightful comments, including:
- Agreement that students used devices to avoid social situations;
- Appreciation of need for boundaries, especially when parents explain their concerns instead of just setting rules;
- Recognition that peers sometimes don't talk to each other but talk about what's on their phones;
- Striking a balance between creating restrictions and providing opportunities for independence;
- Concern about digital device habits when kids go away to college; and
- Instead of concern about over-scheduled students, acknowledging positive impact of extracurricular activities
After viewing the film and listening to the talkback, AFE's takeaway was this: make rules for usage of devices/screen time but involve your child in the rule-making; start a dialogue with your child about their digital life and keep that dialogue going so they can develop healthy habits; and look at your own use of devices and see what sort of example you are setting for your family.
The website www.screenagersmovie.com offers many fantastic resources. One is the Tech Talk Tuesdays program, by which parents can pledge to have conversations with the youths in their lives and the program sends parents ideas for the talk.
Screenagers is a great place to start the conversation and it's a conversation that needs to continue in our community, our schools, and our homes.

As a kid I spent my summers in New Jersey at the Elberon Bathing Club. Sunny days in the ocean and breezy boardwalk nights in Asbury Park. It was the 70′s. In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy stormed through the East Coast destroying much of what lay in its path. The beach club is among the many loved areas which suffered complete devastation. Feel free to walk through yourself and try to imagine the madness that must have occurred.

Now that exams are done I'm under orders to take a week off. I'm having trouble. I had a bit of legitimate work to do for the Vineyard, but thankfully I got most of that done last night. One of our kinships is cancelled so that the host can practice for his CD release concert - go Kurt go! And it is Sharon's week to go to the other kinship. So that means I have the week off for real. Now if only I could get to sleep at a normal time.
I find that the last few months have taken a toll on the old body. I've done very little yoga and I can really feel it. I'm going to fix that today while Sharon is off to the quilting store. Tomorrow I will try to hit a yoga class around noon time. My neck is super sore all of the time, which is frustrating. I'm not sure if it is bacause I'm doing too much work on it or not enough, shoulder checking in the car is excruciatingly painful. I think it was like that before I did yoga and better when I was doing yoga all the time. The thing is I had a lot of back pain too which the yoga seems to have cleared up. If getting back into an exercise routine doesn't help I'll dig out the referral my doctor gave me for physio.
This weekend I'm flying down to Nova Scotia to meet with the rest of the Thoughtworks reps. I'm pretty excited too. We'll be hanging with Cathy and Rik Berry, Cathy is the Atlantic Thoughtworks rep, and dreaming of a Canadian family of Vineyards that are theologically equipped. I am continually amazed at the depth we have in this movement, and I'm looking forward to tapping into more of that this coming weekend.
We also have an old friend of ours moving back to Ottawa. She's been in Yellowknife for the last few years. We have decided to put her up for the four weeks she needs to get situated here. If you have a room to spare, she'd probably be better off than the futon we are giving her in our semi-finished music studio. Which is one thing I am going to do this week - clean that studio. She comes in on the 11th, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm just not sure she's ready for the chaos that is the Emanuel family.

I'm now nearly four months into the Day in the Life project, so in lieu of a photo today I want to provide my thoughts on the project thus far and get some feedback from whomever may be out there checking back on a regular basis, either by manually checking or by subscribing to the RSS feed.
So to recap my original intent, I wanted to highlight interesting things about Worcester and the surrounding area by going out each day to take a new picture. In the process, I hoped to grow from merely liking this city to loving it. Through posting the photos, I also hoped to open other people's eyes to the many things they may have missed, since we are often most blind to the familiar.
Have I achieved these goals at all? First, my plans to take a new picture each day and post that picture the following day have held pretty steady, though I have taken the liberty of sometimes taking a picture the same day that I post it. These in effect means that I sometimes have the flexibility of taking a day off, and I can then catch up to my original plan by taking two pictures in the same day-the first would be posted that day, and the second would be posted the following day. Besides the four days when I was down due to my back surgery in which I posted old photos (I figured I'd spare you pictures of how my scar was healing up), I only cheated once by posting the photo of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial out of order. And even for that one, I had previously taken that photo for this project, but on my way out of Green Hill Park, found the skaters which I decided to post instead. So that was the only post that was viewed out of order. I hope you'll accept my apologies. I'll try not to let it happen again.
As for loving the city, I suppose I can say that I am taking steps in that direction. It certainly forces me to constantly be on the lookout for new and interesting things. Given the little amount of spare time I have, I am not doing justice to the parts of the city that I do not normally frequent. But I suppose I have eight more months to fill in the blanks.
The thought of doing this project for eight more months makes me wish I had committed to a more modest goal, knowing that there are people out there viewing this project and leaving comments helps tremendously when it's 10PM and I still need to go outside to shoot.
So in that vein, I'll be asking some questions in the days ahead, starting with the following.
1) Please let me know if you're regularly viewing the Day in the Life project, and if I don't know you personally, let me know how you found it.

We are big supporters of spay/neuter for all family pets and community cats. With too many animals being born every day and Georgia shelters euthanizing more than 60,000 animals every year…it is not possible to adopt our way out. Spaying and neutering is a critical part of ending unnecessary suffering.
Since opening, Second LIfe has provided more than $400,000 to organizations that focus on spaying and neutering family pets and community cats (through TNR – Trap. Neuter. Return.) Based on an average of $70 per surgery, that's over 5,500 animals that have taken the "no mommy" and "no daddy" pledge…thanks to your support! We are proud to focus on spay/neuter as a way to help keep unwanted animals from being born…and ending up in shelters.
Spaying and neutering helps keep animals healthier and is the responsible thing to do. For more information and to find low-cost spay/neuter clinics near you, visit our website.

From The Daily Star, Lebanon.
According to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, members of Hezbollah will be accused by the Hariri special tribunal, so says Saad Hariri who conveyed the news to Nasrallah. This is the latest attempt by this tribunal to play dirty political games in Lebanon to the benefit of Israel and Saudi Arabia against Hezbollah. March 14 are trying to achieve in Lebanon what Israel failed to achieve in 2006, kill Hezbollah and the resistance. But they lost their credibility long ago. However, what they will succeed in achieving is agitating sectarian tensions...
Nasrallah said he had information that such an indictment had been decided upon before 2008, but its announcement was being postponed to await more suitable political circumstances.
He expressed surprise that the decision to indict had been made even before the STL had summoned some Hizbullah members for questioning in April.
"Our indicators are that the indictment will be announced in September or October, given what is being prepared in Palestine and the region," he said.
He said the charges targeted the resistance, after the failure of previous attempts to achieve the same goal. Lebanon will be pushed into a sensitive period given that the indictment will be issued soon, added Nasrallah.
...But Nasrallah rejected the indictment, stressing that his party was not afraid at all.
"Let them issue the indictment, those who are conspiring against Lebanon and the resistance, and whose projects have failed are the worried parties because their projects will fail again," Nasrallah said.
...Tackling the STL's expected move to absolve Syria of the crime, Nasrallah called upon March 14 officials who had accused Syria of the assassination to reconsider their positions and to engage in a "real" self-critique, "because the results of their decisions had consequences on all the Lebanese."
He touched on the stances of March 14 coalition following the killing of Hariri, saying they had instigated sectarian tensions in Lebanon.

Our daughter is in Kindergarten now. The immense change that has already transpired this year blows my mind, our conversations have evolved in ways I've always dreamed of and I'm so proud of the girl she has become. I worry, everyone knows this, about protecting my kids from the evils and misunderstandings of the world. I would do anything to ensure that none of my children feel hurt or pain even though I know this too is one of life's little gifts.
I do know, however that life will be a bit more complicated for my children because of the parents they have. Even though the country is changing rapidly and laws are slowly embracing LGBT families, we are not safe from bullying and discrimination. My wife and I are lucky to live in a city that is rather accepting of a two mom family and we rarely face outward discrimination but there will always be an opportunity to educate those around us. I correct people daily that make the assumption that I have a husband or my children have a daddy. I don't mind this, it is understandable that they jump to that conclusion, I often wonder if I inadvertently do the same. But what I am most grateful for is those around us that are thoughtful and understanding of families like mine.
I went to our first parent/teacher conference for grammar school. Our 5-year-old has two teachers. Both teachers referenced me as Mama and Susan as Mom, they had taken the time to get it right, to know that those words have significant meaning. Susan could not be with me (thank god for the voice memo app on my iphone so that I could record it) and my daughter's teacher seamlessly referenced her in conversation as my wife. I volunteer at school once a week and one day in class the teacher was talking to the children about their parents and she said "Mommies and Daddies or Moms and Mamas" and I actually laughed, which I realize wasn't the best reaction especially considering how happy it made me but I was genuinely surprised. All of these simple choices in wording can make a family feel like they have made the right choice in schools, friends, colleagues etc. It is the simple use of parent/parents in place of Mommy or Daddy that are inclusive rather than exclusive.
Our school has a dance coming up called the Daughters' Dance. This is inclusive rather than the exclusive title it had in previous years "Father Daughter Dance." I was told that a child with heterosexual parents had a best friend that had two moms and she felt that Father Daughter Dance did not fairly represent her BFF's family, she petitioned to the school to have the name changed. And so they did. From what I understand it wasn't that they were trying to be exclusive it simply hadn't occurred to them. These things are simple, and sometimes take a little thought that perhaps not all parents are the same, perhaps there is only one parent in the family. It has been a work in progress but awareness and understanding makes all the difference in the world.
I realize living in a big city like Los Angeles can make life much easier for two moms than raising a family in a rural part of the United States, I know that there are families that struggle to be understood by those around them. I spent quite a bit of time with the Executive Director of Family Equality talking about the laws that need to change, the support that is lacking for the LGBT community and the challenges that we face but I don't want to forget to celebrate the wins that happen every day. The teachers, friends, doctors, colleagues, and even strangers that make my day by bending down to my daughter and saying "You're a pretty lucky kid to have two moms." It's not that my kids are any luckier than anyone else, it's that they are just as lucky.

It was a clean sweep for Lisburn Boxing Club as their four contenders emerged victorious from the Co Antrim Championships.
Eddie Stokes (11), Ben Lancaster (14) and Leon Young (16) all fought their way to victory while Lelo Kumbule (12) received a walkover with no other boxer in his weight.
"It was a fantastic effort by all the boxers," said Head Coach Martin Laverty.
"All of the lads trained hard for this competition and it has paid off as all of them have won."
Up first was Eddie, fighting in his first ever competition.
Eddie started well as he used his jab and moved brilliantly. As the round progressed, he dominated and got some nice hooks in.
In the second round, his opponent came out and tried to put pressure on him, but Eddie moved well and evaded the attack. As the round went on, Eddie stamped his authority on the fight with some nice punches to the head and body.
The third round was more of the same, and Eddie boxed well. In the end, he won the fight easily to be crowned Co Antrim Champion Boy 1 52KG.
Up next was Ben Lancaster and in his final, he faced a good boy from Gleann Boxing Club.
As the bell sounded, Ben moved quickly to his opponent and put him on the back foot with some nice jabs and right hands. He made his intention clear.
Ben's opponent tried to get back into the fight, catching the Lisburn lad with some right hands. Ben moved up a gear though and put the pressure right back on his man with a four punch combo, which had his man shaken as he wobbled backwards.
In the third round, Ben again caught his man with a mixture of punches to the head and body to which he had no reply as Ben moved in and out picking him off.
And as the bell went for the end of the fight, it was clear who the winner was as Ben was crowned Boy 4 42KG Co Antrim Champion.
Leon, meanwhile, had a more difficult task as he had to fight three nights in a row if he was to lift the Co Antrim title.
In Leon's first fight, he started nervously but soon began to find his range and started to catch his opponent with some nice one, twos.
In the second round, Leon was quick to start and launched a ferocious attack which ended in the ref stopping the fight.
And so to fight number two and Leon faced a more formidable opponent.
As the bell went for round one Leon's opponent made his intentions clear as he threw two hooks which Leon evaded with some nice footwork.
That seemed to jump-start Leon as he came back with some nice double jabs. As the fight progressed, Leon's sharpness and accuracy was the telling factor as he was first to punch almost every time and moved well to evade his opponent's attacks.
In the end, Leon won and progressed to the final, in which he struck first with a nice jab. As his man stepped back, Leon came in with one, two, combo and it was clear to see who was the stronger.
The Lisburn boxer moved well and landed good solid shots as he began to take control of the fight.
In the second round, Leon stopped up his work rate and began to push his man back. Leon let go with a four punch combo ending with a cute right to the body which ultimately finished his man off.
The ref jumped in and stopped the fight and Leon was crowned Co Antrim Champion Boy 16/17, 66KG.
Lisburn BC would like to congratulate all of the lads on a job well done.

Are you about to retire and are getting worried that your life is nearly over? Have you been enjoying a life without a stressful job, but it has recently lost its spark? Are you worried that nothing else is there for you? Well, we have a wonderful suggestion that might fill your body and soul with some much-needed excitement. Maybe your life is not about to be over, maybe it is just about to begin.
Get a Boat!
Think about getting a nice boat for your retirement. Buying a boat is the perfect solution that will enable you to see the world and have loads of fun while doing it. You will have all the time in the world to see hidden and secluded places and make them your own. You will meet new people, new cultures and try new food. You will be able to take advantage of the free time and your life experiences which will surely help you during your travels. There will be a number of new things to learn, keeping your brain busy and active. Most importantly, you will still have something to do. Most retired people stay behind closed doors, rarely ever going out. You will have the opportunity to stay busy and have wonderful adventures, staying active in the later stages of your life and refusing to surrender into stagnation. Hopefully, you still have the energy to maintain the boat with regular antifouling. If you do not want to deal with antifouling, get an ultrasonic antifouling system. An ultrasonic antifouling system will revolutionize antifouling, relieving you from all the worry connected to it. If you like keeping busy, though, forget about an ultrasonic antifouling system, and try the old-school way. Working with hands has its own charm to it anyways.
