not much to say really. Just waiting like all. Am I worried....Nope. but I did reach out to Twane and made a deal with him about what happens if MIT's halt wasn't to do with bankruptcy and that if it was, I would stay away from posting, not just on this board, but on all SH boards for 1 year. I will honour that, but the deal that I offered was that if they aren't, then I don't want to see him post here, nor his aliases for at least a year as well. Now, given the facts, that, he has more than one posting name, and I do not, I'm not sure that he can make that wager, nor, wants to because, he never responded to it. Frankly I think he is a coward really. Not willing to put up. I am. At some point, those with more than one posting names are going to get shut down from what I am told, so, even If I were to lose, I couldn't come back under another name and I am willing to live with Birch1. So, what is it twane...are you willing to live with the proposal? I am very serious on this one. And, I will live by this for sure. Are you willing to live by it? You don't have much time. Coward.

This year's program features the best works of the last several years. It's a joyous celebration of the schools' tradition of singing excellence, with their trademark mixture of spirituals and carols. Korva Coleman hosts.

How best to manage this work problem
For several years Small Company has been undergoing large turnover in employees, to the point that there are now a number of critical vacancies. I am a Widget Controller at SC. Because of the vacancies, I was told to also become a Cog Controller. They're not similar jobs even though they have a similar title and the career path is different. I am not paid extra for the additional role (I haven't asked). There is no overtime. Is a position change like this normal? Is it possible to escalate to HR as this isn't the job I was hired to do? I don't like being a Cog Controller.
When (not?) to ask for a job.
I've prepared a speculative application for a job in Industry in the UK. It has been suggested to me that sending it now would be a mistake since we're heading into the Easter holidays. Is this good advice that I should follow or just a cynical opinion from someone who has nothing at stake? [more inside]

I fudged the end date of my last job by six weeks. What now?
On my resume, I fudged the end date for my last job by six weeks, to cover up a bad situation where I was not at fault. A new company has given me an offer, checked my references, and sent me all the new hire paperwork. I'm supposed to start in two weeks. Only problem? I had to consent to a background check. Now I'm concerned that my lie will be uncovered. What do I do? [more inside]
Giving resignation notice with or without an official offer letter?
I was offered a fantastic new job 3 days ago, and I accepted. They want me to start in 4 weeks, but they haven't yet given me an official offer letter. The usual advice is to wait for the offer letter before giving notice, right? Well, here's my dilemma: 1) Starting next week, I'm leaving for 3 weeks on my honeymoon. If I wait till next week to give notice, I'll have less than a week left in the office. I work in an extremely small office (4 ppl), and I'll be putting everyone in a difficult position. 2) I don't want to burn any bridges because I'm using work data for my dissertation. 3) The HR woman at the New Job says I don't need to wait for an offer letter. Should I take her word for it? Should I give notice with or without an offer letter? [more inside]

Intensely flavored and vibrant red, this jelly bears no resemblance to the stuff in the can it's definitely worth the effort. Though we call for 4 bags of cranberries, the yield is only 3 cups because all the solids get strained out. You'll be happy if you have any extra cranberry sauce when you make sandwiches with the leftover turkey.
Leave a Review
An easy recipe. However the amount I yielded with was about 1.5 quarts (before adding the gelatin mixture). It was a thicker and more opaque consistancy than I had expected. I also cut the sugar by 1/2 cup. The taste was great, not tart, nor too sweet. The texture was smooth, kind of creamy and thick. I think I ended up with a mass amount because I was pushing/forcing the juices throught the sieve. I didn't have time to wait for it too drip through.flag if inappropriate

State Rep. Jim Abeler said Tuesday that he's "all in" on his bid for the U.S. Senate and won't seek re-election to the state House.
Abeler, a Republican from Anoka who has served eight terms in the House, said it's time for him to shift his focus to Washington, D.C.
"If good people don't go to Washington, Washington will not be good," he said. "If I don't go all in, then I may not get there."
Abeler, 59, is one of eight Republicans seeking to replace incumbent Democratic Sen. Al Franken.
"It's hard to have a foot in both camps," Abeler said, adding that he also wanted to be fair to the Republican endorsed candidate for the state House seat, Abigail Whelan.
Whelan, 26, of Anoka is an administrative assistant for a home health care company making her first run for public office. "If people think she's a placeholder, then that affects fundraising," Abeler said.
Abeler, a chiropractor, said he's seeking GOP endorsement for the Senate seat but likely will run in the primary in August even if he doesn't receive it.
Other Republicans seeking the seat include state Sen. Julianne Ortman, businessman Mike McFadden and St. Louis County Commissioner Chris Dahlberg.

Singapore is one of those travel destinations in the world that has utilized its natural landscape, its rich resources, culture and technological advancements for drawing attention of more and more visitors. No doubt their trial has worked in their favour and that is why, it is one of the most visited places in the world, especially in South East Asia. If you come to Singapore, you must plan your holidays accordingly, for a long stretch because Singapore has so many things to offer to you that your trip might fall short, you might be tired to visit from one place to another, but Singapore simply won't stop offering something new every day.
However, amidst the ever changing skyline and the high rising buildings, Singapore has beautifully incorporated natural destinations and tourist spots into its list of must visit places. There are national parks, wildlife reservoirs, bird parks, zoo and many more. Two of the most important places amongst these are –
Singapore Botanic Gardens
This is a beautiful natural landscape amidst the city that incorporates many of the lakes, gardens, plants and other important places within its territory. The National Orchid Garden, Rainforest, Ginger Garden, Botany Centre and Tanglin Gate, Jacob Ballas Children's Garden and many others lie within its region. The rainforest within this botanical garden is a unique place to visit as it is one of the only two rainforests that lie within the region of a city. The garden has been decorated so beautifully that it will consume your entire day there and all the places there have their uniqueness added to it. No doubt it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Jurong Bird Park
If your heart has not been satiated with the beautiful orchids and the wonderful lakes and gardens in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, then you must visit the Jurong Bird Park. Located on the slopes of the Jurong Hill, this bird park is managed by the Wildlife Reserves Singapore and is home to 5,000 birds of 400 species. Amongst these, there are 29 species that are considered to be threatened and are rare to witness and you will be lucky enough to see them as you come in this bird park.
From flightless birds to free-flying birds, from five species of penguins 7 species of pelicans to nocturnal birds, there are so many birds that you will be able to witness that you will simply be awestruck with their beauty. The park organises many shows that you must watch and the most popular ones amongst them are the High Flyers Show, Lunch with the Parrots and the Kings of the Skies Show. Make sure that you reach the show spots on time.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
This date is clearly much scarcer than it is given credit for, and when encountered, it is usually only found in VF or XF grades, and occasionally in the lowest AU grades. Winter and Crum commented, for example: 'The 1855 double eagle is usually viewed as a common date. It is actually quite scarce in any grade better than About Uncirculated-53 and it is a truly rare coin in Uncirculated grades.' Although the recovery of coins from the S.S. Republic has changed the scene for Type One double eagles over the past couple years, this issue remains elusive in top grades.

In the forested depths of eastern Congo lies Virunga National Park, one of the most bio-diverse places in the world and home to the last of the mountain gorillas.
In this wild, enchanted environment, a small and embattled team of park rangers – including a caretaker of orphan gorillas and a Belgian conservationist – protect this UNESCO world heritage site from armed militia, poachers and the dark forces struggling to control Congo's rich natural resources.
When the newly formed M23 rebel group declares war in May 2012, a new conflict threatens the lives and stability of everyone and everything they've worked so hard to protect.
VIRUNGA is the incredible true story of a group of brave people risking their lives to build a better future in a part of Africa the world has forgotten and a gripping exposé of the realities of life in the Congo.

BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University women's soccer team was unable to find the back of the net in a 3-0 setback at the hands of Anderson University on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2015. Bluffton fell to 4-7 overall and 0-2 in the Heartland Conference, while Anderson upped its season mark to 6-3 with a perfect 2-0 record in the HCAC.
Jared Krout recently joined Bluffton Family Recreation as sports coordinator, according to Joseph Beagle, BFR director.
Krout is a 2006 graduate of Arlington High School and 2010 graduate of Hillsdale College.
Following graduation, he served in several track and field coaching positions at Hillsdale. In 2014 he joined the Liberty-Benton High School track and field coaching staff. In 2015 he became the LB girls' head coach, and the team won the state championship in its division.
Preparations are underway for the Bluffton Senior Citizens Association 45th anniversary celebration planned for Thursday, Nov. 5. In the meantime, lots of other activities take place at the center during October and November.
Here's a sampling:
• Doris Conrad, lifelong Bluffton resident, will be recognized during its October dinner meeting. Conrad turns 90 this month and will receive a life membership in the association. The dinner meeting is at 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 12, at the center, 132 N. Main St.
Northwest Physical Therapy, Inc. will offer free therapy screens to the public during the month of October. These screens will be available at all four outpatient locations in Delphos, Ottawa, Bluffton and Lima.
A physical therapy screening takes approx. 10-15 minutes and will be performed by a licensed clinician. A therapy screening helps identify issues that may be causing unnecessary pain.
In the U.S. 18 percent of the population, nearly 50 million Americans, lives in poverty. That is an increase of seven percent since 2000. More than 250 communities across 50 states use Aha! Process concepts to combat poverty at the individual, community and institutional levels. Aha! Process's annual Addressing the Challenges of Poverty conference brings together local and national groups to explore best practices to alleviate poverty.

With three full-fledged races under her belt on the season, Chappell-Dick has now been named the ODAC Runner of the Week after each of them.

The outcome of the Homecoming Football game matched the setting: cold, windy and miserable. Delphos Jefferson made quick work of the Bluffton squad in a 50-7 dispatch to put a damper on the parade and attendant and escort festivities. Jefferson improved to 5-1 with the win while Bluffton dropped its second straight contest and sits at 4-2.
"A healthy heart is a happy heart."
Bluffton Family Recreation wants to remind its members that walking is good for their health.
Fultz Sign Company recently installed the first of several messages on the BFR indoor track, reminding members that walking is good for you.
"The intention is to carry the good heart theme all the way around the track," said Joseph Beagle, BFR director.
Members may contribute toward the goal of having the red "heart beat" continue around the track.

Recognised as a Top Performing Holiday Accommodation as Reviewed by Travellers on the World's Largest Travel Site
10 June 2015: Les Petites Cigognes today announced that it has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. Now in its fifth year, the award celebrates excellence in hospitality and is given only to establishments that consistently achieve great reviews on TripAdvisor. Certificate of Excellence winners include accommodations, eateries and attractions located all over the world that have continually delivered a superior customer experience.
When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honourees that takes into account the quality, quantity and recency of reviews and opinions submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period as well as business's tenure and ranking on the Popularity Index on the site. To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.
Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for us and we'd like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor. There is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by our customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence.
Changes for 2015
During 2014 we continued our regular updating of equipment both inside and outside the gites. The patio chairs, table and BBQ for La Colombe were replaced to be the same durable and high quality of Le Pluvier and Le Grebe. During the winter and spring of 2014/15 we planted a tree in the garden of each gite which is specifically to provide more shade within the garden as it grows and matures. Additionally we are planting cotoneaster hedging along the sides of all the gite gardens to further improve the ambiance and privacy of the gardens.

Le Nouveau Bulletin
Many of our guests have asked to be kept up-to-date with
developments at Les Petites Cigognes, so we publish
our newsletter
Le Nouveau Bulletin annually.
Garden Update
Over the last couple of years we have been developing the gardens
and area behind the gites. All the gites now have new patios and
new flower beds; the area around the pool has been planted with
shrubs and hedging which are now firmly establishing themselves.
Altogether we have now planted 220 trees in 'The Triangle' field in
the last 3 years, with another 30 planted during the spring of 2015.
This has included hazel for coppicing, as well as blackthorn, acer and hornbeam. Despite the severe winters, droughts and torrential rain
of the last few years, most of these saplings have survived. The
woodland is at last beginning to look a bit more than a few sticks in
the ground!

Party Tricks: The Horse Cough
This morning on the Todd & Andy Show we were discussing party tricks like the German guys who figured out how to open 5 bottles of beer simultaneously and the stack of quarters on the back of the elbow trick...
This morning on the Todd & Andy Show we were discussing party tricks like the German guys who figured out how to open 5 bottles of beer simultaneously and the stack of quarters on the back of the elbow trick...
The question is, why is this woman in Lithuania in the first place? She is completely drunk and screaming that if she doesn't get in the door then there will be a World War III.
The Guinness, green beer, Irish Car Bombs and other libations are certainly flowing tonight as St. Patrick's Day in America is still one of the biggest days on the calendar for imbibing. Which holiday tops them all and the others in the top 10 may or may not come as a surprise to you.
Here's the list:
Most everyone that I know love's to watch the Super Bowl. Even if some of them do not watch football throughout the year they still party when The Big Game is on!
Apparently, walking under the influence is nearly as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.
There is a secret fantasy that all radio dj's have.
C'mon, Blue: you're seeing double out there!
Jamie Craft of Jonesboro, Arkansas has herself quite a Tuesday.
The 28-year old kicked of her midweek adventure by getting good and drunk and crashing her Trans Am into the side of a mobile home. Mind you this was a proper, adult sized Trans Am, which becomes important later in this tale and also made what she did a pretty serious crime.
Mick and Bobbe thought it'd be a fun idea to take 9 shots of punch vodka and play a few rounds of golf. That kind of thinking is probably what lead to this ingenuity of a trick shot. You must play the wall where it lies. See what this guy does.
There are times when the eyes of an alcoholic reveal a darkness so vast that everything decrepit in the universe appears to makes sense, like a bloodshot looking glass reflecting a message from God - or maybe not. Either way, occasionally a rare breed of sloppy degenerate rises up from the drunken pits of hell to prove to the rest of us that there is a long way to go before we ever hit rock bottom. You'll know them by their frostbitten penises.
This is what true friendship looks like. This guy is drunk and wanted to drive home. One of his buddies steps in between the drunk guy and his car to prevent him from driving drunk. After pleas of having his friend not get behind the wheel, he decided to do something that may have saved the lives of many. He punched him in the face!
Not that we're speaking from experience, but everyone's done something stupid when they've had a few too many to drink. We're talking about driving drunk while dressed as a zombie kind of dumb. Here's a less dangerous example -- getting stuck between two buildings.

Who Wins Worst Hair of 2006?
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
2006 has seen a lot of bad hair dos. Seriously, WTF were these ladies thinking? Sure some of them were accidental but that doesn't let them off the hook. No doubt a few of these bad dos resulted in a hairstylist being told to pack up his hairdryer and get out. Still, the ladies agreed to leave the house that way. So, who do you think had the worst hair of 2006?

I picked Selma. She needs extensions ASAP!!!!!!!!! sugar_bear
Butrfly4404 8 years
That was a hard choice, but I picked Britney because her hair almost always looks like crap, while the rest can be attributed to "bad hair day" or simply a style mishap.

What is that on Beyonce's face? Nasty!!
pink_magnetism 8 years
I pick Jessica, because at least nobody else who had bad hair this year then tried to sell the extensions/wigs to the public. At least all the other celebs on the list kept their bad hair to themselves and didn't try to force other people to have it too!

Beyonce definitely. And I doubt it's a burn mark...usually burns get discolored and red...they don't stay flesh colored. I think if you wear extensions/wigs/pieces/ you should try and make them look as natural and realistic as possible.

Re: Ripping the supernatural out of science fiction.
Why is it silly? We live in the 21st century. We're discussing 21st century entertainment. Why would it be silly for anyone to want to see a piece of entertainment that, while set in the future, still reflects and conforms to our current level of understanding?
Because science fiction is about breaking down barriers, not slamming them down and refusing to move beyond them.

No deaths were reported in Myanmar while 14 people died in Bangladesh due to the storm. Myanmar's military and security forces started evacuation on Monday but authorities had trouble getting Rohingya Muslims out of their camps and to safer areas due to the ethnic minority's mistrust in military officials. At least 50 people died when a boat carrying more than 100 Rohingya Muslims capsized off western Myanmar on 14 May in an attempt to flee the cyclone. The Wall Street Journal (17 May 2013) The Star (14 May 2013) POLITICS Myanmar has been ranked as the worst country in the world in terms of resource governance, according to a report issued recently by US-based NGO Revenue Watch Institute.

Discussions over extending the stay of the pandas had reached high-level negotiations, going as far as Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and then-Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao taking part in talks which have resulted in the special exemption demonstrating the close ties between the two countries and discussions between the leaders Normally, every panda in the world is loaned from China to various country's zoos and will return to China to breed but this latest agreement will see Lin Ping find a mate in China and return to Thailand to breed in a loan deal which sees the cost per year for each giant panda lent to Thailand of US$250,000 rise to US$1 million when Lin Ping returns with her mate Whilst the annual fee of US$1 million may seem an extravagant price to pay for a panda, various zoological officials have come out in defence of the deal citing the annual revenue generated for the region, estimated at some THB3 billion (US$101 million) annually by former director of the Zoological Park Organisation Sophon Dumnui Eleven Myanmar (13 May 2013) The Nation (11 May 2013) Bangkok Post (15 May 2013) U-T San Diego (14 May 2013) Editorial Team: Sóley Ómarsdóttir, Oh Joo Ken , Lim Zhi Bang Designer: Hizzad Dinno Consultant Editor: Tunku 'Abidin Muhriz DISCLAIMER: The news articles contained in this report are extracted and republished from various credible news sources.

The Number Cruncherz programme begins with the Sale Sharks Community Trust coaches presenting to pupils and students. Here, the coaches teach the pupils about the history and core values of Rugby Union, as well as the history of Sale Sharks.
The coaches then encourage the pupils to take part in a touch rugby training session, which helps them to apply what they have learnt from the presentation, but it also helps the coaches to build a relationship with the pupils before their trip to the AJ Bell Stadium.

Hi! My name is Reannon and I'm a travel addict.
In the past 10 years I've lived in five countries and backpacked through almost 40. I've interned at Disney World, worked on cruise ships in the Caribbean, au paired in Austria, studied abroad in Germany, taught English in Nepal, Japan and Guatemala and worked for an airline in San Francisco. Once, I even traded in my car for a plane ticket to India.
Taken by the Wind chronicles my life and love for all things travel.
Why is your site called Taken by the Wind?
"All your life,
You've never seen a woman,
Taken by the wind…"
~ lyrics from the song "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac.
My name is Reannon and I was named after a Fleetwood Mac song by the same name (although spelled differently – Rhiannon – ). Although I'm not the biggest Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks fan (sorry mom and dad) the lyrics seemed fitting for a site about a travelholic.
Some of the sample lyrics are "She rules her life like a fine skylark" and "She rules her life like a bird in flight." Fitting, no?
The History of Taken by the Wind:
I started this site back in May 2008 when I moved to Tokyo. It began as an online journal chronicling my struggle to adjust to life in Japan, but has since morphed into a site about travel and life abroad (and at home).
After Japan, I moved back to the US to live in San Francisco. For nine months I worked as a customer service agent at an airport, before leaving to study Spanish in Guatemala and bum around Central America for four months. Now I'm back in the US again and am living in Las Vegas, Nevada. I currently work as a freelance writer and run a social media company in Las Vegas, where I help clients promote their small businesses with social media marketing and advertising.
What is this blog about?
I love to explore the theme of culture and how it plays a part in our day-to-day lives. I also enjoy writing about the psychology of travel addiction and frequently post humorous stories, photos and updates about my adventures abroad.
I wanna know more! What should I read first?
Here are a few of my favorite posts to get you started…Thanks for reading. : )

I like your writing style. Where else can we find you on the web?
Thank you! I occasionally freelance write and have appeared in Japan Today on The Matador Network and Vagabondish.
You can also follow my crazy adventures as they unfold twitter and Facebook.
What do you do when you're not traveling?
I'm a full time freelance writer, social media consultant and content marketer. This takes up a surprisingly large amount of time, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! I love it.
When not working, you can find me camping, reading and playing with my dog, Frankie.

Closely related to the Toyota Tercel, the Toyota Paseo is a sporty compact that was in production from 1991 to 1999. It was sold initially as a coupe and as a convertible in later years. It was discontinued in the US in 1997, although production continued for other markets until the model was pulled out in 1999. Today, the Paseo attracts second-hand buyers looking for an eco-friendly vehicle that's also reliable and durable.
1991-1995: The environment-friendly Paseo enters the US market
The Toyota Paseo shared a platform with the Toyota Tercel and Toyota Starlet, making it possible to interchange parts between these three vehicles. Equipped with a 1.5 L 5E-FE inline-four engine, it produced 100 horsepower and 91 lb/ft. of torque. In 1993, the engine's ratings were tweaked to meet California and California-based emission standards. So cars sold in California and states with the same emission regulations were equipped with engines that produced 93 horsepower and 100 lb/ft. of torque. The first-gen Paseo was available with either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission.
1995-1999: A convertible Paseo is introduced
Upgrades included tweaks in the body sheet metal and a more modern electronic system for the engine. All engines for the second-gen version were also tweaked to reduce their specs in accordance to California emission regulations. At the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show, a convertible version was introduced and was officially released in the market in 1996. However, in 1996, sales of the Paseo were halted in the US, with the 1997 model as the last model sold to the US market.
In other countries, the Paseo was still sold. In the UK, the Paseo was available in three trims: ST (base), Si, and Galliano. The Si featured a Sony CD player, a third brake light, anti-lock brakes, a color-keyed boot spoiler, and 14-inch alloy wheels. As for the Galliano, this trim included 15-inch alloy wheels, mud guards, a color-keyed chin spoiler, and a colorful exterior with decals on the sides. In Japan, the Paseo was sold under the Cynos name. Three trims were also available for the Japanese market: Juno, Beta, and Alpha. All the trims came with a rear windscreen wiper and color-coordinated wing mirrors, but they were equipped with different upholstery, engines, steering wheels, and dashboards. The Beta was equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox and a 5E-FHE engine, the Juno was equipped with a four-speed automatic gearbox and a 1.3 4E-FE engine, and the Alpha was equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox and a 1.5 5E-FE engine.
In 1999, Toyota discontinued the Paseo. Despite this, the Paseo was one of Toyota's more engine-efficient sporty vehicles. It also continues to be a reliable option among second-hand buyers looking for a sporty, fuel-efficient, but affordable sub-compact coupe.
