The finish is perfect, and the mechanism works like a charm.
I appreciate the quality and fit of the new watchband and I ordered. It was easy to install and looked like it belonged on the timepiece and not an afterthought.
I really wanted a dark brown leather strap for my Brathwait watch, as I bought the Marron (lighter brown) to complement my wardrobe. The Burgundy has an excellent and rich feel to it, unlike any leather straps! It is soft and firm at the same time, and it will definitely last a long time! Very happy with my purchase!
awesome as always
My extra band just snapped on perfectly, makes my Classic Slim look like a completely different watch.
It's great
The color works with everything
The quality of both the watch and the leather strap is amazing!
I have made 2 purchases w/ Brathwait and have delighted at the swift international delivery and, naturally, pleased with the product!

Great product which my dogs love.. a great alternative to raw, its unfortunate you cannot supply a mixed box which I can purchase from a local supplier at higher cost.
Anne Cluderay
Great food for my 2 cavaliers. I vary the flavours and they love them all. Packs are tricky to open by hand until you get the knack (still easy using a knife) but no other criticism. Easy to share out. Very digestible. Keep my dogs healthy. And the delivery service from VetUK is the tops. Next day and a track-able one hour slot. So dependable. Great!
Catherine Hellaby
This product is excellent for dogs with sensitive tummies. It has a firm consistency, no nasty smell and is easy to measure the portions out. So glad to have found this product.

The Gorilla King by David Finney
Directed by Kristina McCloskey
December 19, 2016 at 7pm
It's 1948 and times are changing for the Callahan family and their little grocery store. The store, a fixture in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood for years, is going broke; it's customers siphoned away by the new A&P that just opened down the block. Thomas Callahan refuses to face the problem. His daughter, Ona, struggles to balance the books, hoping she can squeeze enough out of them to pay the bills. In addition, Ona's dreamy nine-year-old son, Bobbie, a child she has never understood, can't read. Father Sullivan, Principal of St., Jude's Elementary, has just told her Bobbie will not pass into the fifth grade if he cannot pass the school's reading exam at the end of summer.
Feeling trapped and isolated, Ona dreams of escaping the store and becoming a baker but she hasn't enough money to pay the tuition to the city's culinary vocational school. When Michael O'Fallon, a successful shopkeeper, shows up asking her for a date, she plots to scam the tuition money from him and escape the family grocery. Her one major problem: Bobbie thinks Michael is a "knucklehead" and he's figured out her plan. Her scheme tears open the Callahan family and forces her to make a decision between her dreams and her son.

Many construction companies host a Safety Week once a year as a way to refocus and reenergize our commitment to reducing injuries on jobsites. Below are some ideas on how to conduct a successful Safety Week.
Be A Leader In Safety. Join Us In Celebrating Safety Week 2017!
Commitment Pledges
- Company leaders should make a project-specific a Project-specific and Personal Commitment Pledge
- Ask yourself these basic questions:
- How engaged am I currently in company safety programs?
- Can I increase my engagement levels with the project teams?
- Can I make a difference to our workers' safety by engaging more?
- Does our company empower me to make a difference in workplace safety?
- After considering these questions, make a pledge to commit to something in 2017 that you believe will make a difference to your own personal safety performance, something that will improve your project's safety performance and help provide an injury-free workplace.
- Create actions plans to follow through on your commitments.
- Communicate your commitments and action plans to jobsite employees. Ask for feedback.
Company Leaders Personnel Project Visits
- In an effort to show top-down safety commitment, management personnel should make safety-specific visits to each jobsite throughout the week.
- Attend safety-specific meetings: safety committee meetings, morning safety briefings, etc.
- Complete a jobsite safety audit/inspection.
- Have safety-specific discussions with foremen and other crew members. Solicit feedback from them. Ask questions such as:
- What are we doing well?
- What can we do better? How can we do so?
- Do you feel safe on the jobsite?
- What does Safety Week mean to you?
Safety Performance Evaluation
- Have the project team assess where they feel the project is in terms of safety performance (non-compliant, compliant, good practice, best in class).
- Focus on items like:
- Safety Culture
- Employee Competency/Training
- Communications – Best Practices, Incident Reviews, etc.
- Controls/Compliance with Regulations
- Subcontractor Performance/Evaluation
- Use Safety Week to come up with actions plans to reach "best in class" status – engage craft personnel to join in this effort as well.
Events and Activities
- Visit the Idea Book for events and activities to hold throughout the week
- Invite OSHA on site to discuss injury statistics and other industry items.
- Host a Safety Roadshow and invite vendors to showcase new tools and safety equipment.
- Invite the Local Union representative to engage in Safety Week events.
- Hold safety training sessions (fall protection, ladder safety, etc.)
Jobsite Safety Reviews
- Review Corporate Policies
- Disciplinary Policy, fire safety requirements, etc.
- Review Training Requirements
- Hold Emergency Response Drills
- Invite emergency response teams (Fire Department, Police, EMT, local response teams etc.) to come on site to assess emergency response protocols specific to that jobsite.
- Review Safety Documents
- Emergency Action Plans, Environmental Aspects, Jobsite Safety Analyses, Required Inspections
- Perform a Safety Rollback
- Include site housekeeping, cord/tool inspections, rigging inspections and proper storage, assured grounding inspections, PPE inspections, fire safety inspections.

More Adorable Animal Photos – 10.22.12
October 22, 2012 Posted by justonemorepet | Animal and Pet Photos, animal behavior, animals, If Animlas Could Talk..., Just One More Pet, On The Lighter Side, We Are All God's Creatures | adorable animal photos, Birds, bunnies, Cats, dalmation, deer, dogs, dolphins, ducks, elephants, pandas, pups, turtles | Leave a comment
'Until One Has Loved an Animal, Part of Their Soul Remains Unawakened'
Our pups are now 3,4 and 6-years old… Yes 4, pretty amazing for people who never had or really wanted pets. I always liked animals, but really didn't want one of my own. Perhaps I just realized that I wasn't in a place or ready to take care of them yet and my husband was allergic to everything with fur and feathers. So when our daughter was young we gave in starting with hamsters, mice, rats, geckos, lizards, fish, turtles… and then birds. Then our daughter came home with a dog while she was working part-time at a pet store, the summer after her first year of college. She was supposed to be earning a little pocket money for the next year. Instead she pretty much spent all she earned and came home with a papered Chihuahua… who became our Angel.
Baby Angel
My husband said, "no way!" Our daughter was going back to the dorms and he was allergic, so took Angel right back to the store. They wouldn't take her back because our daughter had signed the contract and they had given up a full paid sale to let her buy Angel at the employee discount, less than half of what they had had an actual customer for. And of course, our daughter went back to school and the dorms, with Angel in tow insisting she could sneak her in and keep her there. Less than an hour after her arrival at school with her 4-legged roommate, we were on our way to pick Angel up. My husband went through 18-months of allergy shots after that so we could keep her.
A year later our daughter was off sailing around the world with Semester at Sea. When she got back mid-year, she was assigned a lulu bell for a roommate and bargained with us to get an off-campus apartment a semester early. She wasn't there a month… when she brought home a Chiweenie puppy, Apachi, who was being given away outside the pet store, near school, where she had just gotten a part-time job after returning from her sail. A pet store job is never a good idea for her. Major Problem… it was a no pet apartment and we had signed a year's lease.
Baby Apachi
Not long after getting Apachi, our daughter's colitis flared up to an extreme level (I tend to think some vaccines that they got overseas might have exacerbated her condition adding to some stress in her life at the time and too much drinking and partying during that period and trip). After a week at an alternative care facility in an attempt to avoid radical surgery, she unfortunately ended up having to have 2 major surgeries and I spent a total of 54-days (24/7) in the hospital sleeping on a cot in her room, with her. My husband was home with Angel and Apachi and visited daily. With all that was going on we really didn't think about the fact that neither 6 month old Apachi nor Angel had been fixed. Angel is a half long-hair half short-hair fawn face Chihuahua with a really easy going disposition and everyone had said, if we could breed her with a like-type male, they'd love to have a puppy, so I was looking for a mate for her and Apachi was just a baby and taking him in just got lost in all the goings on.
Next thing we knew… we had 4 puppies: Angelina, Magnum, Princess and Goji
Angel was a natural and great Mom and Apachi watched over them from somewhat of a distance… until they were weaned, at which point he took over.
The boys (Magnum and Goji) and Angelina went to new homes at 10-weeks of age and we decided to keep Princess. Then a few weeks later Angelina came back to us, because her new family couldn't keep her and we had requested that if anyone who took a puppy had problems that we would get the puppy back. Long story short… we kept her too and that is how we went from birds, turtles and rats, at the time, to 4-dogs and a fish who survived being fed to our turtles.
Goji and Magnum
Princess and Angelina
We have been very blessed to have found homes for Magnum and Goji with wonderful families who keep in touch and let us know how the boys are doing at least a couple times a year…
Goji and Magnum above… Angelina and Princess below at age 2

The puppies were about 6-months old here
And this is them now… Angel 6, Apachi 4 and the pups 3
It has been an amazing experience to watch this little family grow and interact. An experience that most people and even animals don't get to have unless you live in the country. People ask, "Wow, aren't they a lot of work?". I can honestly say that the joy so out-weighs any work, that I never even notice… and I cook for our four for all their meals.
As for our daughter… she went on to get more furkids…

Iran cleric says dogs "unclean" and not to be kept as pets
TEHRAN | Sat Jun 19, 2010 5:33am EDT
(Reuters) – A senior Iranian cleric has decreed dogs are "unclean" and should not be kept as pets — a move aimed at discouraging Western-style dog ownership in the Islamic state, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
Dogs are considered "unclean" under Islamic tradition but, while relatively rare in Iran, some people do keep them as pets.
By issuing a fatwa — a religious ruling — Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has sent a clear message that this trend must stop.
"Friendship with dogs is a blind imitation of the West," he was quoted as saying in Javan daily. "There are lots of people in the West who love their dogs more than their wives and children."
Guard dogs and sheep dogs are considered acceptable under Islamic law but Iranians who carry dogs in their cars or take them to public parks can be stopped by police and fined.
The Koran does not explicitly prohibit contact with dogs, Shirazi said, but Islamic tradition showed it to be so. "We have lots of narrations in Islam that say dogs are unclean."
The interpretation of religious rules on personal conduct is a constant source of debate and potential conflict in Iran which has been an Islamic republic since a revolution ousted the Western-backed Shah in 1979.
In a television interview last week, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad weighed in on the issue of the Islamic dress code, saying women who fail to cover their hair completely should not be harassed by the police.
Morality police are conducting their annual crackdown and women who reveal strands of hair are liable to be stopped in the streets for failing to respect the dress code, or "hijab."
Ahmadinejad's surprisingly liberal view was condemned by fellow hard-liner politicians and senior clerics "I wish he had not said those words about the hijab," Grand Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati told the faithful during the week's Friday prayers, in a rare criticism of the president.
"We are grappling with many problems including economic and political ones but the issues of morality and ethical security are among the important issues that cannot be ignored," he said.
Tehran University has set up a thinktank "to investigate the problems related to hijab," the representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the university announced on Monday.

Nicholas Ulsch Buys Puppies From Craigslist & Abuses Them
Informati – 19 days ago – news-journalonline.com
A witness told police the puppy is Ulsch's fourth dog in two months and that two of the dogs mysteriously disappeared while a third ran away because Ulsch beat the dogs, the report states.
An Ormond Beach man bought a puppy over the Internet and then beat and slammed it against a wall because the animal soiled his living room floor, police said.
It's not the first dog Nicholas Ulsch has abused, Ormond Beach police said.
Ulsch, 41, of Oak Brook Drive was arrested Saturday and charged with intentional animal cruelty for abusing the mixed brown Labrador puppy he bought on the Web site Craigslist, a police report states.
According to the report, Ulsch said he spanked the dog hard on Friday because the dog angered him by defecating in the living room. Ulsch picked up the dog by the collar and repeatedly slammed it against the wall, police said. The dog suffered eye and leg injuries.
A witness told police the puppy is Ulsch's fourth dog in two months and that two of the dogs mysteriously disappeared while a third ran away because Ulsch beat the dogs, the report states.
The puppy was taken to Halifax Humane Society for medical attention by an animal control officer, police said.
Ulsch said he did not mean to hurt the dog that bit him and scratched his carpet and couch.
"I feel guilty for what I did," Ulsch said.
Ulsch was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail on Saturday after posting $1,000 bail.

Ormond man charged in puppy's abuse
By PATRICIO G. BALONA – Staff writer
1. This idiot need to b beaten like he did to those poor puppies!!! there should b some type of list that should prevent them from ever adopting or buy an animal ever again!!!!!
2. The list is called do to them what they do to these poor defenseless animals and then treat the crimes like they were against a person and sentence accordingly. There is a direct correlation between animal and domestic violence. It is also one of signs of sociopaths… who are not curable. We, as a country, need to stop being bleeding hearts for all the crazies: pedophiles, rapists, animal abusers, child abusers, wife beaters, murderers… they all come from the same pathetic pot and we need to close the lid on them!
3. I can't beleive they just let him go. His picture should be plastered all over the area he lives. By the way he is from ORMOND BEACH FLORIDA JUST NORTH OF DAYTONA BEACH NICE TO KNOW SUCH A NUTJOB IS OUT THERE …WHATS NEXT ON HIS LIST, LITTLE OLD LADIES,SMALL CHILDREN. WHAT WILL THE AUTHORITIES DO NEXT IF THE NEXT VICTIM IS A YOUNG CHILD. WE ARE LIVING IN A CRAZY,INSANE WORLD AND THE VALUE OF LIFE SEEMS TO BE DISSAPEARING. ….this is a very dangerous person ,keep your eyes open. BY THE WAY I NOTICE HE IS WEARING WHAT THE KIDS CALL A WIFE BEATER T-SHIRT.

Click training 101: Getting your puppy started on a clicker
Over the years I have had many dogs, all of which I have trained on my own. I've been often asked "Your dog listens so well, how did you get him to do that?" Teaching a puppy a few basic commands really isn't as hard as some might think. As long as you can have the patience and the time to dedicate to properly training them, you can have a wonderfully well-behaved puppy yourself! I am a firm believer of the "click-training" method when it comes to training dogs. Having something to audibly stimulate them in order to receive the desired action in return tends to work better than just verbal commands on their own. In this "how-to", I'll illustrate to you how to get started with click-training and the basics you will need to know.
If you plan on using the click training method, you'll need to get a few things to start. First you will need to get a clicker (about $2.00 at pet stores). You'll then want to get some small treats that your puppy likes (my puppy likes a combination of his puppy kibble and "Crazy Pet Train-Me Reward Dog Treats" — about $5.00 at pet stores — the train-me treats work well because they are chewy and moist, easy for a puppy to eat). You might also want to have something to carry the treats in, like a nylon bag that you can sling around your waist, or you can just keep them in your pocket.
Once you have everything you need, you can start to associate your puppy with the clicker. To do this, click the clicker and then give the puppy a treat. Go to another part of the room, click the clicker, and give the puppy a treat. Repeat this step over a few times in different parts of the house. Your puppy will start to associate the clicking noise with getting a treat, thanks Pavlov! When you are convinced that your puppy understands that the clicking sound means they will receive a treat, then you are ready to move on with the training.
Before you begin to teach the puppy even the most basic commands such as "sit" and "stay", you need to work with your puppy on getting their attention. Doing this is actually quite simple. While in the room with your puppy, say their name. When they stop what they are doing and look at you, click your clicker and give them a treat. Repeat this step a few times in different parts of the home. You will notice that your puppy will catch on very quickly! You will want to repeat the name-association exercise a few minutes each day to ensure that they understand, but make sure that you do not over-do it. Puppies have a short attention span, and get tired and restless quickly. Make sure you keep all training sessions to about 10-15 minutes daily.
Once you are confident that you can get your puppy's attention quickly and easily, you can then move on in the training process.

Mission Viejo CA will build a dog park to benefit community
The City Council on Monday moved forward with plans to build a dog park at Oso Viejo Park north of the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center near the Village Green.
The council approved $258,060 for construction of the dog park. The move follows in-depth public input and study by a committee made up of residents, City commissioners and recreation and animal services staff.
A dog park in Mission Viejo has been a longtime in the making, dating back six years to when the concept was first discussed by the Planning and Transportation Commission. In June 2006, a council-directed dog park committee was developed to seek possible locations in town. The 14-member committee identified 12 possible locations to study and hosted two public input meetings in October and November 2007. The potential sites were studied for design criteria and other factors. In January 2008, the Community Services Commission recommended the Oso Viejo Park location as the preferred site. The City Council considered the dog park concept in two budget meetings in 2007 and in June of this year.
The City has long made capital improvement projects a priority to benefit the community. Since the dog park was first discussed in 2003, the City has finished 63 capital improvement projects. Twenty-three of those projects were recreation related with the remainder consisting of street/roadway improvements, resurfacing and pavement rehabilitation. The recreation capital improvement projects include eight park playground renovations, 10 facility renovation/expansion projects, four park lighting and one open space trail improvement.
Mission Viejo joins other South County cities such as Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods, Rancho Santa Margarita and San Clemente in offering dog parks for community enjoyment.
Not sure what the one in Mission Viejo will look like, but here are a few fun examples…

Amazing Dog Talents — 8 Canines You'll Wish Were Yours (Part 2)
For the last 1,500 years, we've bred dogs to be our helpers, companions and protectors. They've come through for us, and so this week — Assistance Dog Week — we offer them a formal commendation that they can't possibly understand.
The week is dedicated to the great work of seeing-eye dogs and other pups who assist the burdened, but there are some who also shouldn't go unappreciated. It turns out that certain members of the canine community can talk, others can solve equations, and still others can take it strong to the hoop like a power forward. (That could be considered "assistance" if he's on your team.)
So after the jump, we offer evidence that will make you realize your talentless pooch needs to get off his pillow and do something with his life.
If there were more dogs like Rookie, there would be fewer middle-aged men forced into taking a ballroom dance class.
Skate or die, dog.
If this video had ever gotten to Isiah Thomas, the appropriately-named Zeke would be counting against the Knicks' salary cap until 2012
Yes, dogs can sing. Although their vocal style tends more toward Scooby than Scrappy.
Faith proves that, whatever the problem, it can be overcome if you stand up straight and walk like a man.

Maggie the math dog probably isn't smarter than a fifth grader; however we'd take her over most kindergartners and "stars" of reality TV. (The first 1:30 of this video are decidedly un-amazing.)
As impressive as this is, we suspect the little ninja is eventually going to regret not having a plan to get back inside the cage.
We're not going to pretend that this ditty is a threat to make the charts, but unlike that keyboard cat fraud, at least Porter the Musical Dog writes his own stuff.

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
"All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily." ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love

Ahmad Syech Albar (Arabic: أحمد شيخ البار 'Aḥmad Šayḵ Al-Bār) (born 16 July 1946) is an Indonesian rock star and founding member of God Bless; in the band he is known as Iyek.[1]
Early life and career[edit]
Albar was born in Surabaya, East Java on 16 July 1946 to Syech Albar and his wife Farida Alhasni.[2] Both of his parents were of Arab descents.[3] He was the couple's fourth child.[2] In 1958 he played in the film Djenderal Kantjil (General Kancil).[2]
Albar moved to the Netherlands in 1965.[2] In 1970 he sang "Don't Spoil My Day" and "Tell Me the World" with Clover Leaf, which charted.[2] After his return to Indonesia, he founded God Bless with Jockie Soerjoprajogo, Fuad Hassan, Donny Fattah, and his friend from Clover Leaf, Ludwig Lemans; Albar was lead vocalist.[2] The band's first performance was in Taman Ismail Marzuki on 5 May 1973, and on 16 August 1973 they held the Summer 28 concert, the first (and, as of 2004, largest) open-air concert in Indonesia.[2] The band, with Albar, also played in the 1973 comedy Ambisi (Ambition), directed by Nya Abbas Akup.[2]
God Bless[edit]
In 1975, Albar and God Bless opened for Deep Purple at a concert in Jakarta.[4] On 27 September 1975, Albar appeared on the cover of Tempo, with a full feature on him inside; the coverage compared his costume to Zorro's and described him spinning the microphone over his head as if he were competing in a hammer throw event.[2] Other magazines, such as Junior, Aktuil, and Top, soon followed; Aktuil named him the best vocalist of 1976.[2]
In 1976, Albar and God Bless released their first album, Huma di atas Bukit (House on the Hill).[2] The titular song was an adaptation of "Firth Of Fifth", from Genesis' 1973 album Selling England by the Pound.[2] The same year Albar played in Laila Majenun (Laila is Possessed), directed by Sjumandjaja; "Huma di atas Bukit" was used as its theme song.[2]
Duo Kribo and other projects[edit]
The following year, Albar recorded "Neraka Jahanam" ("Blasted Hell"), a duet with Ucok Harahap released on an album of the same name; the two called themselves Duo Kribo, based on their frizzy hair.[2] The titular song was based in the concept of original sin.[5] That same year he recorded "Jelaga" ("Soot"), a winner of Prambors FM's Teenage Song Writing Competition.[2]
Duo Kribo released their second album, Pelacur Tua (Old Prostitute), in 1978.[2] Albar was then invited by Guruh Soekarnoputra to perform the song "Anak Jalanan" ("Street Children") at Guruh's Swara Mahardhika concert; it ran from 6 to 7 January 1979.[2] Later in 1979 he and Harahap released their third album, Panggung Sandiwara (Theatre Stage), featuring compositions by former God Bless member Ian Antono and lyrics by poet Taufiq Ismail.[2] He also recorded a dangdut album, Zakia, that year; the album featured six compositions by Albar and three by other artists, including Antono and Titiek Puspa.[2]
Albar later appeared in the film Irama Cinta (Rhythm of Love) along with dangdut singer Elvy Sukaesih; the pair sang five songs together.[2] Afterwards, in 1980, God Bless released their second album, Cermin (Mirror).[2] With God Bless later going into limbo, Albar recorded two solo albums, Dunia Huru-Hara (World of Commotion) and Syair Kehidupan (Poems of Life); he also recorded an album with Fariz RM, entitled Secita Cerita (An Idea for a Story).[2] In 1983, Albar sang "Rahasia Semesta" ("Secret of the Universe") at the 11th National Pop Music Festival.[2]
In early 1990, Albar formed Gong 2000 with Yaya Muktio, Harry Anggoman, Donny Fattah, and Ian Antono.[2] Their first concert, held in Senayan, Jakarta, on 26 October 1991, attracted 100,000 viewers.[2] Together the group released four albums, Bara Timur (Ember of the East; 1991), Gong Live (1992), Laskar (Screen; 1993), and Prahara (Tempest; 2000).[2] During the same period he was still active with God Bless, releasing Semut Hitam (Black Ants; 1988), Raksasa (Monster; 1989), and Apa Kabar? (What's Up?; 1997).[6]
Focus on God Bless[edit]
In 2003, Albar and Jockie had a large fight which led to Jockie leaving the group.[1] According to a 2011 interview with Jockie, Jockie and some fellow band members had been discussing Albar's drug habit when they decided to ask Albar to abandon drugs.[1] When Jockie did so, Albar reportedly pulled a pistol on him.[1] Guitarist Ian Antono confirmed that a pistol was involved, but he thought it could be a toy; he stated that the argument flared up when Jockie insulted Albar's family.[7]
On 7 February 2004, Albar and a group of Indonesian performers, including Glenn Fredly, Armand Maulana of Gigi, and Duta of Sheila on 7, held a concert to commemorate the founding of the Malaysian rock band Search.[2] At the end of the concert the singers sang "Rumah Kita" ("Our House"), from Semut Hitam.[2]
In November 2007, Albar was arrested for possessing ecstasy and hiding a drug dealer.[8][9] Tried in June 2008, he was convicted and sentenced to eight months in prison.[8] He was paroled in July for good behaviour and counting previous time served.[9]
In the middle of 2009, Albar and God Bless released 36th.[10] Later, in October of that year, Albar participated in a tribute concert to Chrisye, entitled "Chrisye: A Night to Remember".[1] With God Bless, in mid-2010 he went on a national tour sponsored by PT Multi Bintang Indonesia Niaga.[4] In June 2011, the band performed for Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta's 40th anniversary.[10] The following month, from 22 to 24 July 2011, he and God Bless performed at the InterMusic Java Rockin' Land alongside The Cranberries and Neon Trees.[11]
In a 2009 issue, Rolling Stone Indonesia ranked several songs which Albar sang or wrote as being among the 150 best Indonesian songs of all time.[5] God Bless' song "Kehidupan" ("Life"), which he sang, was ranked 8th, while "Rumah Kita" ("Our House") was ranked 22nd.[5] Duo Kribo's song "Neraka Jahanam" was ranked 18th, while "Panggung Sandiwara" was ranked 21st. [5] Gong 2000's song "Kepada Perang" ("To War") was ranked 114th.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Albar married Rini S. Bono on 28 April 1978; she had previously acted with him in Laila Majenun, with whom he has three children.[2] They divorced on 30 September 1994.[2] In May 2011 it was reported that he would be marrying Dewi, his girlfriend, while going on the hajj.[12]
Albar is a maternal half-brother of dangdut singer Camelia Malik and father of actor Fachri Albar.[12] His sons Ozzy and Fachri Albar are also musicians, playing in the band Jibriel; his nephew Bagoes is also a member of the band.[13]

Yesterday the police were called because protesters were invading an office. Today they are going there because protesters are using the bathrooms.
Maybe someone could drop off a couple of port-a-potties for them as a good gesture.
It looks as though ABM is doing ok.

Plan Z: Winning with Style
Millions of people play fantasy baseball each year. It follows that hundreds of thousands of these folk win their fantasy league championships. And while this is an impressive feat, to be sure, it is hardly a unique one. We congratulate the winner, give him or her a trophy to put in his living room, and next year the slate is wiped clean. We each want something more: we want our foes to look upon our works and despair.
What follows is a strategy guide, but it is not a strategy guide. It does not pretend to maximize your chances of winning; in fact, it does quite the opposite. But what Plan Z sacrifices in terms of probability it more than repays in terms of potential payoff. Because when you play fantasy baseball the normal way, you win for a year. When you play by Plan Z, you win for a lifetime. Stories will become legends, which will in turn fade into myth. You'll be a baseball Beowulf.
The rules of Plan Z are deceptively simple. They are, in order:
1. Only draft players whose names contain a Z.
That's it.
There are a few things you can do to tilt the scales slightly back in your favor. Points leagues will offer far better chances than roto leagues, because of your roster's lack of flexibility. Shallow leagues will give your opponents less of a chance to potentially stock up on your players. And since you'll only have a chance if your team happens to stay healthy, avoid leagues that offer DL slots; they'll help your opponents more than you.
Otherwise, your strategy is very simple. The key is to plan ahead: go into your draft knowing exactly who you want, and what round you expect to take them. Don't broadcast your strategy during the draft, on the off chance that someone will play spoiler. And if it doesn't work out, shrug your shoulders and smile. If you lose, it'll be forgotten by October.
The following is a sample mock draft, with the occasional advice or alternatives. (Round estimates are rooted in MockDraftCentral's ADP; adjust accordingly.) Use what you can, but don't feel bound by my choices or timing. After all, Plan Z is a demonstration of self-expression.
Round 1: Carlos Gonzalez, OF (ADP: 10)
If you don't get CarGo, it doesn't cripple your strategy, but it doesn't help it any. Outfielders are the second most common source of Zs outside of starting pitchers, but the excess in quantity is offset by a lack of quality. There's really no one else worth considering at this spot.
Round 2: Adrian Gonzalez, 1B (ADP: 30)
Yes, a bit of a reach, and it's tempting to take Tulowitzki if he's still on the board. But between Tulo's inauspicious injury history and the depth at shortstop, Gonzalez is the safe choice. His outfield eligibility also doesn't hurt if you manage to land Rizzo. Added bonus: he has a double-Z name, which earns extra credit.
Round 3: Hanley Ramirez, SS (ADP: 34)
Round 4: Aramis Ramirez, 3B (ADP: 40)
There are actually lots of attractive options at this point, including Ramirez, Ryan Zimmerman, Felix Hernandez, and Anthony Rizzo. Much as I love King Felix, we can fill pitcher later, and Rizzo's position is already taken. Therefore I'd go with Ramirez over Zimmerman, despite the Z initial, because of the wide disparity in their average playing time. If you go the other way, though, I can't blame you.
Round 5: Ben Zobrist, 2B (ADP: 66)
Here's where you face your biggest choice of the draft. If one of the players above falls here, particularly the hitters, it's going to be tough to pass on them for the Rays' glue guy. But if you try to wait on Zobrist, remember: he's the only starting second base Z in the game. If someone grabs him, you may as well rage-quit.
Round 6: Gio Gonzalez, SP (ADP: 76)
Round 7: Max Scherzer, SP (ADP: 96)
Zack Greinke is also an option here, but as of press time, it was assumed that he would never lift a baseball again the rest of his life.
Round 8: Nelson Cruz, OF (ADP: 97)
Round 9: Victor Martinez, U (ADP: 109)
If Martinez is eligible at catcher, this is a no-brainer. If not, and someone else looks inviting, you can try to wait and grab David Ortiz a few rounds later.
Round 10: J.J. Putz, RP (ADP: 114)
Tell yourself that you're not paying for saves. You're paying for Z relievers with warm bodies. Seriously, it's Putz or nothing, and if you happen to get caught outside a closer run, you're finished. It might be worth overpaying for Putz and targeting Ortiz this round instead.
Round 11: Jordan Zimmerman, SP (ADP: 118)
When there's no one else worth taking, grab a starter.
Round 12: Salvador Perez, C (ADP: 139)
If Victor Martinez is ineligible, you can consider reaching on Perez a round earlier. But there are actually lots of catchers around at the end of the draft, so don't sweat it too much.
Round 13: Jeff Samardzija, SP (ADP: 141)
Round 14: Alejandro De Aza, OF (ADP: 147)
Round 15: Chris Perez, RP (ADP: 153)
I know. But for the sake of the Z, we have to make sacrifices.
Round 16: Anibal Sanchez, SP (ADP: 199)
There's a major dropoff here, with no Z having an ADP between 153 and 196. This means that you'll probably be able to get who you want from here on out.
Round 17: Todd Frazier, 1B/3B (ADP: 202)
Round 18: Alexei Ramirez, SS (ADP: 215)
Here are your middle/corner infielders, if necessary, or else your principal backups.
Round 19: Carlos Gomez, OF (ADP: 206)
If someone grabs Gomez, you'll probably want Ichiro here.
Round 20: Matt Garza, SP (ADP: 239)
Round 21: Wandy Rodriguez, SP (ADP: 227)
It's unlikely you'll need more starting pitchers, but here is where the talent lies, so you may as well draft back-end rotation options in case you can flip a starter for one of the hitters you had to pass on, like Rizzo.
Round 22: David Hernandez, RP (ADP: 266)
Well, at least you're guaranteed one source of saves.
Round 23: Zack Cozart, SS (ADP: 271)
If your league has a DL spot, you may as well use one of your last picks on Alex Rodriguez, on the off chance that he does come back after the All-Star Break and isn't awful and you actually need him. Or you can just erase his existence from your memory and live a slightly happier life.
Round 24: Carlos Ruiz, C (ADP: 250)
If you missed out on Zobrist, you may as well draft Macier Izturis here and then weep quietly for what might have been.
Round 25: Marc Rzepczynski, RP (ADP: n/a)
Sure, there are more talented players out there to take with your final pick, such as Edinson Volquez, Zach McAllister, or personal favorite Erasmo Ramirez. But it feels right to end a draft like this on a Rzepczynski. If you made it this far, you may as well end on an exclamation point.

Highway Surveillance Cameras
"The Truman Show"
Many targeted individuals recognize the fact that we are under 24 hour surveillance by way of direct visual observation through cameras or by remote neural monitoring. For those skeptical and dismissive of this reality, you better watch out cause Santa Claus (Satan's claws) is coming to town.
The Christmas celebration of Christ's birthday on December 25th has its origins in the occult, pagan religions. The days around the 25th of December were celebrated as Saturnalia which was an ancient Roman celebration worshiping the false god or idol, Saturn. There is little doubt about the name Saturn, as well as the planet named Saturn, having a direct connection to Satan.
With that said, and leaving all the modern-day Christmas traditions like decorated trees, wreaths, and window sills alone, why are we celebrated the Savior's birth in the winter, let alone celebrating it at all?
The shepherds were in the field when Christ was born and in Bethlehem, it's far too deep into the winter season for them to have been there. Many scholars and prognosticators put the time of Christ's birth during the 2nd week of September. This does seem more logical. Nevertheless, Christ is the Son of God who was with God in the beginning. Yes, Jesus had to come in the flesh — be born a human — for the salvational sacrifice of His death, but Jesus has eternally existed with the Father and was even the Creator of the universe.
"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." – Jhn 1:1-3 KJV
When reading the Christmas "children's carol," we should view the lyrics through the lens of world events and Biblical discernment. When we do this, the what was once a cute and innocent admonition takes on a rather chilling, even sinister tone. Personally, I don't think it is a coincidence.

Sean Chubb is one of todays true masters of clivia Breeding. We are happy to bring his seeds to the public.
Color Rush has been a favorite of mine since it originally came out. It is bred from Naude Peach.
777 Inzima is from the tremendous breeding of Pikkie and Elize Strumphler and their 777 line of flowers.
This is 2 absolutely tremendous versicolours crossed. We should see something special in these seedlings.
As of 1-24-17 these 1 leaf seedlings were 1" Tall this one has a colored base. Im honestly not sure if that is good or bad with these. These are coming up both colored and uncolored base.

Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN) Career Profile
Licensed Practical or Licensed Vocational nurses, as they are called in Texas and California, work in nursing homes, extended care facilities, hospitals, physicians' offices and in private homes under the supervision of physicians or registered nurses. LPNs help patients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating and toileting. They dress wounds, install catheters, start IVs, monitor equipment, check vital signs, deliver medications and much more. While basic, their responsibilities are absolutely imperative to the quality of care. Among all care givers they have the most intimate hands-on relationship with their patients.
The ideal LPN is a natural at building relationships. They are empathetic, trusting, flexible, good listeners and energetic. Most LPNs struggle initially with elements of the job such as toileting or exposure to blood, but the satisfaction derived from their patient relationships quickly mitigates those issues.
LVN's work full-time and might be scheduled during the day, evening or night. The work environment is team oriented and fast paced, but highly compassionate and professional.
How does it feel to be a practical nurse?
While the proximity to patient's body functions and often-serious health issues may seem unpleasant, LPNs find the impact they have on patients' lives to be extraordinarily rewarding. They often become the closest companions and confidants to their patients and their families. LPNs are part of a very caring community which includes not only physicians and nurses, but rehabilitation and social therapists as well as aids and administrators.
The demand for LVNs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, will grow by 16 percent between 2014-24 creating 117,300 new positions. The career path for LPNs is varied. Many return to school for an Associate's or Bachelor's Degree and become Registered Nurses. Registered Nurses supervise LPNs, administer medications, perform diagnostic tests, record patient histories and symptoms, manage patients' care plans, and consult more extensively with physicians. LPNs might also move into administrative roles in health care settings. Many experienced LVNs go into nursing education.
To enter the profession, one must attend and satisfy the requirements of a 9-12-month program and take and pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical nurses.
LPN is ranked #41 of the 100 Best Jobs by the US News and World Report.
