Buen dia. So yesterday I had the opportnity to go back and visit some friends in Jinotega. It was an amazing experience. It was awesome cause everyone remembered me by name and they were so stoked to see me. I spent the night there and then woke up at 4 o clock this morning and went to Managua to sack out my cedula. And then came back in a ride from President Guzman from Jinotega it was awesome.
So we are working hard in San Ramon. I put a bet with the district president that if we don't have 50 people in church next week I will take him out to eat but if we do he has to take us out to eat. This is a number they haven't reached in forever so it will be hard but I know that we can reach it. So my comp takes off this week. We have changes on Wednesday and to answer your question, yes all the missionaries go to changes. And yes I will make sure to talk to Elder Ashby's mom.
Umm ya I got something else for you. The youth president of the district went up to San Ramon this week and told us that we were going to have an awesome activity for the youth this week. So we made a bunch of invitaciones that pretty much said that there was going to be a party in Matagalpa for the youth. He told us to invite members and non members so that is what we did and everyone is way stoked to go. Well we found out that it really isn't an activity like we thought it was going to be. A member from the 70 is coming and it is a fireside so I think we are kinda screwed pardon my french. Cause we have invited so many people to a party that we are not going to have ha ha. The thing is the kids aren't like kids from the states. I am thinking that they aren't going to keep the reverence and they are going to show up being thugs. They are not going to want to sit down and listen to a member of the 70 not knowing who he is. They think it is going to be a party when it is going to be the exact opposite. It definitely is not going to go down how you think it will go down. I promise you that. I dunno what we are going to do. But what ev.
But back to other stuff, if the ward in La Verkin wants me to give a talk I will be happy to do it but only if they ask me to ha ha. If not that's cool, you don't have to go around telling them I want to give a talk if you know what I mean ha ha. I do give a talk almost every week in San Ramon.
It's crazy how fast the mission is flying by, only 5 months left. Well a little more but 5 months aint nothing. To be honest 2 years aint no thang either.
Well mommy love you and miss you a ton keep it real and keep being awesome.
Love ,Elder Moore

text: I loved 50 shades of grey. Although there are some negative and unhealthy portrayals of BDSM, I love that America spent two months talking about the kinky world. I think that sometimes, we have to be a bit stereotypical to bring mainstream America into what we are doing. I for one loved the chance to show the world a taste of BDSM!

I once made an omelet so good that it got me kicked out of the house. Okay, maybe that wasn't the main reason, but it was the last straw. It happened a few months into dating this British Pro-Golfer. For whatever reason, I had broken up with him and found myself in his kitchen the day after. To offer consolation I thought I would do something nice. I rummaged through his sparse bachelor-pad refrigerator and found eggs, cheese and some kind of leftovers with a meat I can't recall. So, I made omelets.
I didn't understand his surprise when he entered the kitchen (he knew I was there). First, he asked, "Where did you find the ingredients to make this?" I pointed to his kitchen. After taking a bite, he half asked, half exclaimed, "You can cook, too?!" I smiled and waited for a compliment. What I got was a heavy english accent, saying, "Get out. Get out, now!" Wow, what an omelet.
Here is one version; my Kale & Cheese Omelet. Please, don't run me off if it turns out too good.
Kale and Cheese Omelet Recipe
|Preparation time: 10 minutes
|Cook time: 5 minutes
|Serves: 1
|Technique: Sauteing
|Taste: Savory
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup cut kale
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- ½ small chopped onion
- ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Mince garlic and chop onion. Beat eggs and milk together. Heat 1 tbsp butter in small saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onions. Saute until translucent. Add kale. Saute kale until wilted, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Scoop kale from pan and set aside. Add the other tbsp of butter to pan, return to medium heat, melt butter and evenly distribute over bottom of pan. Add beaten eggs. Lift corners of egg mixture, allowing liquid eggs to run beneath and cook. Do this until most of egg is cooked, but leave enough uncooked egg on top for a glossy texture. Add salt, pepper, kale and most of cheese. Gently, fold mixture over until both sides meet. Add remaining cheese to top. Only cook for another minute or so. Remove from heat. Mixture will continue to cook. Allow to sit until cheese has mostly melted. Garnish and serve.
- Add chopped ham or turkey
- Use feta cheese instead of mozzarella
- Add oregano, basil and thyme
Serve as part of a complete breakfast.

Discover as a pioneer an unprecedented trek around the massive of Huascarán, Peru's highest peak! As the name suggests, this tour takes you high up in a wild and wonderful environment in the heart of Huascarán National Park. We will stroll through grasses, crawl under the branches of quenoals (Polylepis sp.), climb to non frequented passes to almost 5000 meters above sea level, vibrate hearing the continuous creaking glaciers and camp on small platforms beside colorful glacier lakes.
Here you are on the territory of vicunas, pumas, bears and other wild cervids. It is in this so special environment, far from civilization, that your adventure will make completely its sense. Ideally this exceptional trek can only be achieved with a small group of participants. Good adaptability and excellent physical condition is essential. Although some rope abseils are not excluded, no technical knowledge is required.
Some parts of the route require porters, others are with pack animals. Food supplies are planned at strategic locations, which allows you to move with a minimum of equipment and enjoy breathtaking views of the legendary peaks of the Cordillera Blanca.
In the second part of the stay, we will join the Trek in the Cedros. This very complete circuit is particularly attractive due to the variety of landscapes encountered that provides a summary of all the Andean beauties. During our progress, we will cross villages and hamlets, observe the lifestyle of their inhabitants, ancestral traditions that are still very much alive.

DAY 5 – Wilcacocha – Musho – Base Camp
Morning departure by private vehicle to the village of Musho. We follow a well marked path through eucalyptus plantations and among the grasses. Arrival at the base camp of Huascarán, facing the Cordillera Negra.
DAY 6 – Base Camp – Mirador Huandoy
This is the most sustained trek day (about 7 hours walking). As no path is available to donkeys, the equipment is carried with porters. We walk between grasses, moraine blocks and quenoal branches, at the foot of the impressive Huascaran glacier. We will arrive late in the afternoon at the camp, in front of the Huandoy.
DAY 7 – Mirador Huandoy – Cebollapampa
Wake up early to admire the first rays of sunlight illuminating the mountains of Huascaran and Huandoy. The journey continues in a very mineral environment, dotted with small glacier lakes. At the pass, our efforts are rewarded with a magnificent view of the massive Chopicalqui. In the descent, and with a little luck, you can see herds of vicunas (lama wild cousins).
DAY 8 – Cebollapampa – Laguna 69 – Broggi Bivouac
Always accompanied by our carriers, we go up the Quebrada Demanda on a nice path. Quenoal thickets, small lakes and torrents decorate the trip. We have lunch at the Laguna 69 facing the imposing Chacraraju, then descent to the Broggi bivouac where we spend the night.
DAY 9 – Broggi Bivouac – Chacraraju Pass (4950 m) – Quebrada Ranincuray
The climb continues up a hill at the foot of Chacraraju. Then you switch on the eastern side of the Cordillera Blanca. Descent into the wild valley of Ranincuray and meeting with the muleteer. He will accompany you till the end of the trek.
DAY 10 – Quebrada Ranincuray – Tuctupampa
We will join the Huaripampa valley while walking through grazing areas and beautiful forests of quenoals (tortuous trees, with coppery bark, which hold the world altitude record!). Arrive at midday at Tuctupampa camp at the foot of Taulliraju. Option: Possibility for those who wish to go up the valley towards the Punta Unión pass (4 750m), then return to camp late afternoon. Total walking time in the day: 7:00 (+ 1050m, -595m)
DAY 11 – Tuctupampa – Kiswar
We continue our climb, steep but short enough, until the Alto of Pucaraju (4,650 m): from this pass, the panorama of the surrounding peaks is simply magnificent! Then long descent in a wild valley to Kiswar camp, located along a river.
DAY 12 – Kiswar – Jancapampa
We go up a broad valley, dotted with huts. Beside cattle, its inhabitants live from tuber culture. Then we reach the altitude steppes and cross the Tupatupa pass (4400 m). Descent on the hamlet of Pingospampa. Camp setup at Jancapampa at the foot of a majestic glacier circus. The afternoon is decorated with the visit of children from the valley.
DAY 13 – Jancapampa – Tayapampa
Early departure for a long climb in the beautiful valley of Yanajanca: lakes, waterfalls, forests and thickets of quenoals along the route. Once the pass of Yanacon is crossed (4610 m), we descend into a valley where live the alpaca breeders. We take an old trail that will make us reach more altitude and set up camp in front of the North-East wall of the Alpamayo.
DAY 14 – Tayapampa – Laguna Pucacocha – Tayapampa
Day dedicated to the discovery of Tayapampa Valley with its numerous glacial lakes and mountains draped in snow. Return to the camp in the afternoon.
DAY 15 – Tayapampa – Ruinapampa
A new climb expects us, in a scenery of snowy peaks and rugged glaciers. With a little luck we can observe condors! Once past the pass of Mesapata (4460 m), we descend into the Mayobamba steppe valley. Arrived at the locality of Sirwapampa, we will follow the river in the narrow valley. The climate is becoming warmer and humid, and the dramatic changes in vegetation (cactus, bromeliads, lush forests). Camp setup at Rayánpampa, not far from a shepherd hut.
DAY 16 – Ruinapampa – Tsaquicocha
This is a very beautiful day that awaits us, with the crossing of two passes: after a short descent, the trail rises in zigzags to the Vientunan Pass (4800 m). Then the Pishtanan Toro Pass (4,860 m). Shortly after the pass, a surprise awaits us: Cullicocha Lake turquoise waters, overlooked by the Santa Cruz glacier, suddenly revealed to us! After a break on its shore, we continue the descent along an irrigation canal. Arrival at our camp, facing the Cordillera Negra. Beautiful sunset.
DAY 17 – Tsaquicocha – Hualcayan – Huaraz
Descent to the village of Hualcayán, where our private vehicle will be waiting for us. Transfer to Huaraz. On the way, we will make a short stop in Caraz, including the Plaza de Armas, well-kept, really worth a visit. Installation in your hotel in Huaraz. Rest. Dinner on your own.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. The UK mortgage market is reported to have grown from a £67bn a year industry in its early days to £176bn in 2013 but with a 2007 peak totalling £363bn.
In 25 years, the industry is said to have advanced 23 million home loans and lent out over £3.8trn.
First-time buyers help illustrate this transition. Twenty-five years ago, first-time buyers would typi-cally borrow £29,000 to buy their home, 2.22 times gross annual household income and, on average, put down a deposit of £1,500. In June this year, an FTB typically borrowed £123,000 or 3.47 times their income and put down, on average, a deposit of £31,000.
The Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association and the Building Societies Association and other specialist trade bodies continue to make their own impact within their sectors.
It appears an apt time to salute the impact made by the CML and these other bodies which continue to champion their markets, support firms, address regulatory concerns and ensure voices are heard in the right places.

Madonna's new video 'Girl Gone Wild', the song itself clearly can't stand on it's own two feet so it's had to use a massive boost sultry (pretty much prono) style video to get its coverage so far. She was in a prime untouchable and will go down as a icon but is Madge not going to have to hang up her glad rags sometime soon, hopefully?

NorthPoint Development goes national
NorthPoint Develoment is going national.
Launched in Kansas City two and a half years ago, the firm has made a big local name for itself by developing big apartment and industrial projects, including the 1,300-acre Logistics Park Kansas City near BNSF Railway's new intermodal facility in Edgerton.
Now, NorthPoint is developing about $150 million worth of industrial projects in the Nashville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati areas and has options on land for a new industrial park in Dallas.
Chad Meyer, NorthPoint president and COO, said the firm presently has more industrial space under construction outside of the Kansas City area (1.1 million square feet) than it does in this area (1 million square feet).
The activity edge will tilt back to Kansas City later this year, when NorthPoint begins construction of about 2 million additional square feet of industrial space here.
But Meyer said the formula that prompted NorthPoint to go national this year will spur an increasing flow of jobs across the country, as well.
"We've started with local relationships we've built with some of our build-to-suit clients in the industrial sector who've taken us to other markets — the biggest one being GM," Meyer said.
NorthPoint is currently building a gas tank manufacturing plant for General Motors Co. at Central Industrial Park, an 80-acre park that NorthPoint is developing next to the GM Fairfax Assembly Plant. In addition, NorthPoint is serving GM indirectly by developing land for auto-related manufacturers and suppliers at its Central Industrial Park, Fairfax Industrial District and Riverside Horizons projects.
Brent Miles, NorthPoint's vice president of economic development, said his firm's local partnership with GM led to NorthPoint's development of a 1.5 million-square-foot industrial park near the GM plant in Nashville. There, NorthPoint has already broken ground for two soon-to-be-announced manufacturers that will serve the plant and bring 500 jobs to that area.
In addition, NorthPoint broke ground two weeks ago on a 740,000-square-foot speculative industrial building near Indianapolis, "which is our biggest spec product to date as a firm," Meyer said.
A speculative building is one for which construction begins before a lease or leases for the space are secured.
FLASHBACK: NorthPoint Development finds its bearings quickly with projects, investors
In addition to the huge spec, NorthPoint is working on a build-to-suit facility in Indianapolis for another soon-to-be-announced manufacturing tenant.
"Plus, we have a large project outside of Cincinnati coming right behind that," Meyer said, "and we'll soon be building in Dallas, as well."
In about a year, he added, NorthPoint will start on its first project in the booming Dallas market, a roughly 1 million-square-foot auto-related manufacturing park.
Another reason GM and other clients are choosing NorthPoint to develop their complex industrial projects is the company's engineering expertise, which allows it to design and drive unnecessary cost out of buildings.

As fiesty as she is she got her wish and was given 3 eggs to adopt. 1 egg was hers, another was donated by her best pal Rita, and another from Saphire. Rita even decided to help Blueberry at the end (until she was given some eggs of her own). Finally the day came and out zipped an adorable blue Wyandotte chick. Blueberry was very happy with her new baby. Later that same day a cute Silkie chick hatched. The 1rst chick now had a play buddy. Blueberry made sure her darling babies learned how to drink water and what to eat for food. She called them over excitedly when they were given cold blueberries as a treat. The giant even brought some clean sand for the babies to play in! Blueberry immediately showed them how to take a fun dust bathe. The babies were so happy and loved playing with their momma. The little ones also loved cuddling in momma's soft fluffy feathers. Blueberry however, did not appreciate her caretaker trying to pet her babies or use the clicking box at them. The babies thought the giant was neat fun and were curious over the clicking box. The little Silkie: "Momma, look, look, she has the funny box again." Blueberry:"Hey, stop that! The babies need their quiet time!" Yep, Blueberry is enjoying being a momma and is very protective of her precious babies.

Improving the Design of Workplace E-Learning Research
Dubois, Cathy; Long, Lori
International Journal on E-Learning, v11 n4 p419-440 Oct 2012
E-learning researchers face considerable challenges in creating meaningful and generalizable studies due to the complex nature of this dynamic training medium. Our experience in conducting workplace e-learning research led us to create this guide for planning research on e-learning. We share the unanticipated complications we encountered in our research and explain how they limited the conclusions we were able to draw from our research. The four areas we explore include: 1) applying relevant theory, 2) measurement considerations, 3) assuring a meaningful participant sample, and 4) reducing research participant attrition. Data collection in organizations presents challenges in each of these areas. We offer recommendations regarding how researchers can work with organizational representatives when planning their workplace e-learning research to avoid problems in each of these areas, and thereby improve the generalizability of their research. Finally, we discuss implications for practice associated with the recommendations we offer. (Contains 1 table.)

text: Puerto Rico puts its faith in ads, airlift and agents November 14, 2001 Share 1 -- Caribbean editor Gay Nagle Myers talked with Milton Segarra, executive director of Puerto Rico Tourism Co., about the incentives put in place to stimulate travel to Puerto Rico in the post-Sept. 11 period. Her report follows:uerto Rico is safe, secure, close by, loaded with airlift and ripe with possibilities for getaway weekends and stress-free winter breaks. That's the message industry officials are pushing as Puerto Rico gears up for the high season during a decidedly abnormal shoulder season.A new $15 million image and ad campaign was launched in late October, the first such campaign for Puerto Rico in three years. Puerto Rico Tourism Co., which came up with the campaign and its theme of "You're Not Dreaming, You're in Puerto Rico," also introduced a redesigned Web site at www.gotopuertorico.com. The site replaced www.prtourism.com. The campaign and its components are designed to make Puerto Rico an easier sell for agents and consumers, according to Segarra. "The campaign theme plays on the destination's possibilities for adventure tours and travel and cultural experiences," he explained. "Our role since Sept. 11 has been to assure that Puerto Rico maintains its exposure and presence in the minds of agents and those they book."As a response to the terrorist attacks and to provide agents with a sales mechanism, tourism officials came up with a threefold stimulus initiative. Prior to the launch of the ad and image campaign was a short-term newspaper blitz in 15 key U.S. markets that carried the message: "Puerto Rico, Open Arms. Puerto Rico, We're right next door.""Our purpose was to show the people of the U.S. that we were with them," Segarra said. "This was not the time for an aggressive campaign, but we wanted to send a message of empathy and sympathy. We lost 800 Puerto Ricans at the World Trade Center."Next came incentives for the island's tourism industry. These included a 50% reduction in the airline jet fuel tax for a 90-day period through Feb. 15 and reduced landing fees for commercial airlines.Electricity bills for PRTC-certified hotels and paradors were cut 20% through January, and a wage subsidy to prevent further hotel industry layoffs was implemented. Segarra reported that the tourism initiatives appear to be working: The booking pace is on the rise, occupancies have increased and feedback from the stimulus packages is positive.How well tourism is faring will be seen in visitor figures and hotel occupancies during the holidays and winter travel season. Segarra said PRTC's Fly Free promotion, which offers 9,000 free airline tickets to clients booking inclusive plans through participating wholesalers, "will provide a good base for the winter season and increase momentum to travel."More than 50 hotels islandwide are participating in the promotion, valid through Dec. 15. Two free roundtrip tickets on American, ATA, Continental, Delta and Spirit Airlines are offered with packages of five nights or more, booked through nine wholesalers. Another incentive includes cash prizes for agents who book Puerto Rico is Fun packages between Jan. 13 and Feb. 23 for travel from Feb. 3 to April 15."PRTC is committed to action," Segarra said. "Our sales reps have doubled the amount of calls in the last two months. "We're doing road shows for retailers, presentations to wholesalers and have stepped up our schedule of fam trips. We're not leaving a stone unturned."

Re: boutique birthday hats
I just made one about 2 weeks ago as part of an outfit for my daughter's 2nd b-day (there is a thread somewhere with pics - I'll see if I can find it).
I just made a cone out of poster board & taped it together (I free handed it but you could probably take apart a regular cheapo b-day hat to use as a "template") I covered it with fabric & I could easily have embroidered on the fabric before adding it to the poster board. I just used hot glue on the seam & bottom edges but E6000 stuff might work better.
Then I hot glued mirabou around the bottom edge onto the fabric. Punched holes above the mirabou & used elastic - just tacked it down & kind of hid the ends under the mirabou. I clipped a korker to the top but a puff of mirabou would work as well.

Mimi was a most gracious, kind and thoughtful person. Barbara and I always enjoyed her sense of humor and ability to find something positive in any situation. Mimi was always busy but, found time for friendly conversation and helpful advice. Our lunch outings and holiday celebrations were great pleasures. Mimi will be sorely missed.
Stanley and Barbara Rivers
From Hillary:
Aunt Mimi. I still can't believe you are gone and I hate the fact that i didn't get to come visit you in June when my mom came up. You were an amazing person and i'm blessed to have your namesake. I love you very much and i know that you will be our Angel looking out for us. Give Winkie a big kiss for me!
From Noreen Wald:
Your beautiful and talented mother was my student and my friend. Like many others, I thought her book was wonderful.
Steve and I are so very sorry and so very sad. We send you and your family our love and our prayers.
Please tell your Dad, Ty, that we hold him close in our hearts and remember him in our prayers.
From Betty Fraser:
Dear Tandler family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I also knew her from the newcomers club, Mclean racquet club and tennis. Mimi was always so lovely and warm to everyone. She was the mark for all of us to have the grace and beauty at every age. Loved seeing her and as so many friends have said, we are better because we knew her. What a wonderful friend and we will always remember her graceful ways.
Love, Betty Fraser
From Lesleigh Cook:
Dearest, Dearest Mimi,
We met under such unusual circumstances but our friendship blossomed and you became such a wonderful friend, confidant, and surrogate mom. How I miss our little get-togethers over lunch at Clydes, my house, your house, or wherever! I will never forget your gentle soul and your thirst for life and adventure. I see you pushing your hair up and away from your face, that twinkle in your eye, and I can hear your little impish giggle. Thank you for all of your love, advice, hugs, phone calls, and special birthday and Christmas treats. You were and still are my "Angel".
My love to Ty and Tad, and to Mimi's sons whom I never had the honor of meeting but heard so many loving stories about.
I shall miss you, Mimi, and will keep you in my heart forever.
Lesleigh Cook
From Jean and Charlie Mertz:
Mimi will be remembered by a lot of different people for a lot of different things but I think we all have the same basic feeling that she was interested in knowing us and what we thought about things. She had an inquisitive mind and had an uncanny ability to separate the wheat from the chaff. But most of all when Mimi was your friend, you knew you had a true friend.
During our Wednesday evening dinners at the McLean Family Restaurant she used to delight in bringing unique stories, newspaper articles or other bits of trivia for "Show and Tell". There were even funny old jokes that she resurrected from somewhere. We all enjoyed the spirit of sharing that she brought with her to add a little humor or new thoughts to our lives. Just won't be the same without her.
It is with great sorrow that we acknowledge that Mimi is not with us physically, but she will live on in our hearts and we are truly thankful that we had the chance to know her. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ty and his family at this difficult time.
Jean and Charlie Mertz
From Catherine Nesbit:
Thank you so much for keeping me in the loop at this difficult time. I remember when my father died suddenly of a massive heart attack at 63 while out for his daily bicycle ride. Like Dad, Mimi left too soon. I know there is supposed to be some divine design here, but it still feels like there was a mistake. Like it was supposed to be someone else who was more ready to go, closer to the end. Mimi's death is another reminder of how very fragile life is. It reminds us yet again that we often don't have control and that life is not a dress rehearsal.
Mimi, was so full of life. It's sad to say goodbye.
With deep sympathy and hugs,
From Marjorie Lewis:
I met Mimi through the McLean Newcomers and immediately I appreciated her smile and her sincere welcome to the group. The offer to come and hit the tennis ball regardless of ability was my introduction to the family. Mimi made things easy for everyone at those tennis mornings, and Ty shared the patio, reading the newspaper and occasionally answering some tennis questions.
At Newcomer's meetings, Mimi's quiet positivism and relaxed ways made her a magnate for many of us - one of those folks you just enjoy being with. I will mourn Mimi and miss her presence.
Marjorie Lewis
From Peggy Hanson:
I always enjoyed meeting Mimi and Ty at Mystery Writers events. Sometimes we went out in a group after a lecture, where we discussed the problems of writing, issues about the Navy (hope that's the right branch, Ty!)and amused observations on life. Mimi's bright smile and intense interest in life and in writing brought joy to those of us lucky enough to know her. I am in China now, but thinking of your whole family, especially of that calm, authoritative Ty as he deals with this loss.
Peggy Hanson
From Betty and Bob:
We will always remember and love Mimi. She was a great woman – wife, mother, grandmother and dear friend. We smile through our tears as we recall what a truly beautiful person she was – to look at and to know. We treasure our friendship and the many good times we shared – at Redskin games, social gatherings, and our annual January get together with the "old gang" – which she always organized so well.
It was fun doing Capital Speakers together. We enjoyed laughing about our way of speaking, particularly Betty's southern drawl. We love the inflection in Mimi's voice and her way of speaking – which still echoes with us. She spoke well. Her beauty, brightness, thoughtfulness, creativity, and caring spirit impacted positively on all of us who were fortunate enough in our lives to know her – and have her as our friend.
We admired her intellectual curiosity and sense of adventure. While I'm sure there were, no doubt, many projects Mimi ventured on that we didn't know about, I recall how she was interested in following and writing about the trial of a man who was accused of killing his wife. She was a good "detective" on the case. Once, too, I recall she designed and made dolls. She obviously was a person who enjoyed life and lived life fully.
She leaves a lovely legacy in her family and in the way she lived her life. She was truly and incredible person. Mimi was very much loved and will be forever missed.
Our deepest sympathy and love to you Ty and all your children and grandchildren.
Betty and Bob Brown
From Dan and Jane McGrath
We will always remember Mimi and her vivacious, charming, and warm friendship. Of the many good times we had with her, the one that will be among the foremost in memory is the annual croquet tournaments that our group enjoyed. In June 2001, Mimi won the tournament, and she was so excited and thrilled to have beaten all of the athletes. She was an absolute delight.
We offer our profound condolences to Ty and to all the Tandler family.
Dan and Jane McGrath
From Lee Claytor:
I am so deeply sorrowful at Mrs. Tandler's passing. The Tandlers were one of my first customers years ago, when I first pursued self-employment. Even in times when I delved into other career interests, we kept in touch. I never felt like the guy who was there to fix things, but more like a friend or family member. Mimi always took the time to inquire about my life and usually fed me lunch during my work day. Her positive, upbeat nature was something I always looked forward to and she was most definitely my favorite customer. I can't imagine how she will be missed by those that were closest to her, but as for me, I will always remember her for the amazing person she was.
Lee Claytor

The Center Holds
Obama and His EnemiesBook - 2013
The election of 2012 will be remembered as a hinge of history. With huge victories in the 2010 midterm elections the Republican Party had blocked President Obama at every turn and made plans to wrench the country sharply to the right. 2012 offered the GOP a clear shot at controlling all three branches of government and repealing much of the social contract dating back to the New Deal. Facing free-spending billionaires, Fox News, and a concerted effort in 19 states to tilt the election by suppressing Democratic votes, Obama repelled the assault and navigated the nation back to the center.
In The Center Holds , Jonathan Alter produces the first full account of America at the crossroads. With exclusive reporting and rare historical insight, he pierces the bubble of the White House and the presidential campaigns in a landmark election that marked the return of big money and the rise of big data. He tells the epic story of an embattled president fighting back with the first campaign of the Digital Age.
Alter relates the untold story behind Obama's highs and lows, from the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound to the frustration of the debt ceiling fiasco to his unexpected run-ins with black and Latino activists. There are fresh details about the Koch brothers, Grover Norquist, Roger Ailes, and the online haters who suffer from "Obama Derangement Syndrome." Alter takes us inside Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's Boston campaign as well as Obama's disastrous preparation for the first debate. We meet Obama's analytics geeks working out of "The Cave" and the man who secretly videotaped Romney's infamous comments on the "47 percent."
The Center Holds will deepen our understanding of the Obama presidency, the stakes of the 2012 election, and the future of the country.

Jonathan Alter brings the 2012 US Presidential election and the events leading up to it into clear focus.
The author is a good writer and I felt moved by his prose to finish the whole book although I had only intended to read enough to decide if I wanted to buy it. Jonathan Alter wrote a previous book about Obama (The Promise - President Obama, Year One) that was very good and this one continues further into Obama's first term and the campaign for re-election. Alter introduces readers to many people (both Republican and Democrat) who had important roles to play in the administration and/or in the campaigns. He devotes several chapters to the opposition - Romney, of course, but also the people who persisted in the ridiculous birther movement, the super-wealthy people who funded Romney ads, and the Republicans in Congress who consistently refused all of Obama's efforts at compromise and bipartisanship. There's an important chapter devoted to exposing the efforts by Republicans to suppress voting in the 2012 election that were just reprehensible. Alter also reports that the Obama family has received more death threats than all other presidential families combined but doesn't give any details about those threats or what the prosecutorial outcomes were. He also reports that Obama felt the 2012 election was more critical than the 2008 election because, if Romney won, all of Obama's efforts in the first four years would've been erased. Any question about Obama being elected the first time just so America could show it would elect an African American president were eliminated by his re-election. Obama felt vindicated and chosen for what he had actually accomplished and not just for who he is as a symbol. Although Alter praises and criticizes in this book, he is upfront about believing that a Romney presidency would've been a disaster. Although on some things, I wish the author would've been more comprehensive, overall his book is worth reading and worth buying.

Hi I'm Myrnadeen
I am a Wife, Mother and a Grandma and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I have lived in the same city all of my life. I love to read, walk and visit. My favorite activity is spending time with my grandchildren. I am lucky that I get to see my 'grand babes' often. My husband and I enjoy traveling to the mountains and especially when our children and their families tag along. Simple things make me the happiest-rainy days, stars, sunsets, full moons, hugs and kisses from loved ones, a good visit with a friend, flowers, cool nights, family gatherings, singing - I love life! I've had my share of disappointments, illnesses and loss of loved ones. I've had plenty of scary times also - but I have felt "watched over" and when I didn't feel "watched over" I hung on to my faith that God is always there-
Why I am a Mormon
Why am I a Mormon? I was born a mormon. My parents took me to church and Sunday school, which I loved, and sent me to children's classes during the week. As I grew older I read and studied the Book of Mormon and felt the Holy Spirit whisper of its truthfulness. As I have accepted assignments to work in the LDS church with the children, young people and adults, I have had a growing testimony that this work is of God and that He loves all His children. I have also seen God's love for His children where ever I have been-
How I live my faith
I love to work in my ward. I have taught classes for children and youth. I have also taught classes in Sunday school for young adults and adults. Organizing events for groups of 300-400 women have been some of my most exciting and exhausting times. Having family home evenings with my family have been some of my most spiritual times. I love being a Mormon! It is my life! My goal is to return to live with my Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ with my family.

You can tell those who are closest to you by those who stand with you throughout the hardest of times. Surely your family and friends will support you and be concerned about your well-being during your most difficult moments because as your loved ones they genuinely care about you. It isn't so much that they want you to be happy, it is more that they hate to see you sad. Unfortunately in part, when we have difficult times there are some of those whom you expected to stand with you that will fall back into the shadows and act as if they had no idea you needed them
Those closest to you will help you make the most difficult decisions and listen to your most terrible fears. So very often we feel as if there is no one to talk to or that no one is willing to listen. One of the parts of bringing in people close to your heart is that these are the ones whom you trust and confide in. These are the very people in this world who should be willing to listen to you and give you advice that would be in your best interest. These are the ones whom you can speak to as if you were talking to yourself and feel confident that they want and care that you make the best choice concerning your situation.
You can tell those who care by the ones who stop and pick you up from the dirt and ask if you are alright rather than those who complain how your fall nearly took them down as well. Imagine falling to the ground and hearing someone you felt was close to you yell out "watch out! Look what you almost made me do!" and step around your fallen body. It would surprise you that a perfect stranger may be the one who actually takes time to lift you from the filth rather than some of your closest friends. Maybe we have become so comfortable with our one lives that we become blinded to common courtesy and compassion.
When faced with painful trials they will not steal your focus to benefit their own needs and desires instead they will walk with you and support you during your battles. How many times have you tried to share your feelings or ask for help when those you rely on turn and respond with a story of how they had to live through similar circumstances, like this is some kind of competition on whose life sucks more? We often get the "oh yea, I had that happen to me" or "well I had it far worse" or even "so and so had to do that and they are fine now". How is any of that helpful? More so, when you tell someone that you are in need of help and they redirect the attention to the things they need, not that their needs are not important; however, how is putting your needs in place of responding to the request for help from someone else being helpful. Instead of helping each other one always seems to get forgotten because the other felt it was more important to focus on what they needed rather than to actually listen.
Most certainly when you fail they will not turn the dagger upon you and push you away and question whether you are what they want or need. What a feeling to know that despite your best effort you still end up failing or falling short of some definition of success and those whom you wish would console and comfort you turn on you and point out all your faults along the way. You have already admitted to yourself that you lost and now your support group expresses that you are a failure in so many different ways. To top it off, imagine if your failure and their disappointment causes them to question whether you are what they want or need. It's like saying "well if you can't succeed you just may not be the right man for the job, sorry."
I suppose the vows of marriage clearly state: "to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." There is no place for "in success or in failure" or even "for my problems and for yours". However; failure should not be the final judgment leading to "until death do us part" because to fail isn't supposed to be the death of us nor is it supposed to be seen as a complete loss. Nevertheless, if failure leads to the re-evaluation of one's priorities or even their expectations.
We all face trials throughout our lives, some are small and easily fought alone. Others are life changing and non-refundable and the choices we make can set the path we walk for the time left to walk on this earth. These pivotal moments that bring us to make difficult choices are not the time for childish games or selfish rants, these are moments when together means so much more than I, me, Or mine. You can tell those who are closest to you when life becomes complicated, difficult, and scary yet they are still beside you because you are you.

Speedometer style resetting after few days
Pmatthews05 posted a topic in Kadjar General DiscussionsOnly had my Kadjar for about a month. I don't drive the car during the week, just at the weekend. When first got the car, the speedometer was style 3. I selected style 4 for the speedometer. Last weekend it was back on style 3. Thought it might have been something I did, as I had been playing about with the settings. So I reset the style to 4. Sunday the style was still 4. Got back in the car this morning (Saturday one week on), and the speedometer was back as style 3 again. Has anyone else experience a bit of a reset of user preference after not using the car for a bit? I have spoken to Renault garage where I brought the car this morning about this. The sales person wasn't sure and said would find out why this could be happening and get back to me. If I find out anything more, i'll post an answer.

I am so excited to hear you sing mom, keep working hard!! I am telling everybody here that you will be singing in conference!:) P-days have been cleaning the piso and a lot of cleanup we have an older piso and we have been working hard to get it looking good again and finally today we said it's finished!! Last week we went to a Bible shop and bought bibles. So that was fun:)
Thank you so much for your thoughts mom!! Sincere prayer, really talking to our Father is something I have been working on a ton lately. I'm getting better!!!:)
Another week where not a ton happened.. But we kept busy. Lots of contacting and lots of trying to find people but we just haven t seemed to find the people who are ready yet. It's frustrating sometimes and it's discouraging to be working so hard and not seeing the "fruits of our labors" but it's molding us and shaping us and the Lord wants to know how committed we are to Him so we just keep going :)
We found a guy named Byrum this week. He is super cool! We've only had one lesson with him and he really liked it. He wanted to know more and was really nice so we just hope he starts answering the phone.
Our only other investigator is Miguel. The Husband of Silvia, the member. He has been progressing extremely well. He originally started to listen because he wanted to fix things with his wife. They were struggling in their relationship because they were separated and now they are getting back together. Every time we go to teach him he has more and more and more interest and he told us the other day in a lesson that he really now has his own desires to know if it's true or not. It was incredible. All of our hard work is paying off with the changing of one life and the saving of one relationship. It's amazing to see him changing and them being together more. They are together all the time and they call each other "cariño" which means sweetheart in Spanish and it makes me so happy!!!! His life is changing and he is doing so well and it makes Silvia happy as well and it is bringing the true joy the gospel brings into both of their lives as they begin on their journey to become an eternal family.
Honestly it was just a week of hard work and learning what we were truly made of. We have such an amazing relationship as a companionship. He is an incredible missionary and an incredible friend.
Sorry for not much this week!!! We don't have a ton of time either. The Hermanas got taken out and we are bringing two Elders in to replace them so we are helping them get into the area and taking them around.
For the spiritual thought this week I wanted to do one other activity. I love hearing from you guys and your testimonies. This week I want you guys to read a few stories of Jesus and I want you to search for his attributes or his "character". I once heard a quote from supposedly Neil A. Maxwell. I'm not sure if it's from him but I liked the quote nonetheless. "There would have been no atoning sacrifice without the character of Christ." He was a perfect man, not only does perfection, or sinless include what he did not do, but also what he did do and the man he was. I found one example this week in John 2:23-25. The Savior was not concerned with popularity, nor finding just whoever to follow Him. There were many who believed on Him merely based on sight. What they had seen with their eyes. But what the Savior wanted rather than a conversion based on sight, was a conversion based on true testimony given from the Father, so he did not "commit himself unto them" Jesus was focused more on what was right than what was popular. So now go find your own examples of what kind of a man the Savior was and why He was perfect in deed. I know He lives! He is our perfect example.
Have an amazing week!!!!:)

Now You Too Can Kill Osama bin Laden!
'Coptering into hostile territory in the middle of the night to take out Osama bin Laden on behalf of your country? Sounds pretty awesome … except you don't have years of Navy SEAL training. And helicopters make you nervous. And you don't like to travel outside the tri-county area. Luckily, as long as you can will yourself to make it to New Hope, Minnesota, you can recreate the experience of killing bin Laden for the low, low price of $325! (No Navy SEAL training required.) The freedom-loving patriots at Sealed Mindset Firearms Studio are giving people the opportunity to go all SEAL on a dude who sorta looks like bin Laden … if bin Laden wore a child's Halloween-costume Gandolf beard. Each kill session lasts two hours and includes a mission briefing, firearms safety training with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a pre-mission live test on the shooting range, and the grand finale where you get to pump bin Laden full of
lead paintballs.
Not bad, right? That got us thinking about all the other historic figures who died in notable ways we'd like to pretend to kill in a slightly modified simulation held in rural Minnesota.
As the undercover officiant of his pre-death bunker wedding to Eva Braun, we wait for Hitler to say "I do," then take a pistol out of our hollowed-out Bible and growl, "Oh no you don't!" before blowing off his stupid mustache.
We sneak up on him at Ford's Theatre, but this time, Abe is ready! He's armed with his trusty ax and he thinks we're vampires, so an epic battle ensues. (How did that ever become a movie?)
Just kidding! Obviously we'd turn the gun on Yoko.
Anyway, if you want to pretend to kill bin Laden, you'd better hurry; the course is only being offered through the end of the month.

First off, I know that "cloud" means many things to many people. That said, I have been tasked with evaluating options for moving away from running our own servers. We currently have 3 Hyper-V hosts onsite and 3 at a nearby colo. Each site has a primary server, a backup server, and a replication target for the opposite site. We have fairly common mission-critical servers: Exchange, SQL, web server, file server, and an Oracle-based accounting software.
I'm currently researching both AWS and MS Azure, and the options are a bit overwhelming. We are also in talks with a small hosting company that operates out of our current colo facility. Additionally, I'll be pushing hard to offload email to Exchange Online or O365.
Since I'm sure many of you have already gone through this, I'm interested in the solutions you have chosen, whether fully hosted or "hybrid," and any major considerations that may not be obvious before embarking on this project. Thanks in advance.

With Azure (can't speak to AWS) you have a lot of flexibility. Azure offers you simple Platform as a Service (for things like web sites, sql databases, etc) as well as full Infrastructure as a Service (ie VMs for you to run what you want).
Each aspect of your existing infrastructure can be moved to the cloud, but how you take it there is going to vary with the work load.
SQL, Web Server, and Oracle server should be straight forward to move. When you say Oracle - is that Oracle on Windows or Linux? If Linux, which version (not all distros of Linux are fully supported).
The file server is, to me, potentially questionable regarding moving to the cloud. What use does your user base make of the file server and how large are the files - and what bandwidth do you have. You may find it better to leave the file server on-premises.
Finally, Exchange: Right now, Exchange is not really recommended to run in the cloud, If you are looking to take that to the cloud, then you need to be looking at running Office 365 either in full cloud mode, or hybrid (on-premises plus cloud).
If I were you, I'd generate a slow migration plan - do things one step at a time.
Jun 10, 2015 at 21:11 UTC
Thanks, Thomas. Our accounting software uses an Oracle database but it runs on Windows, so that shouldn't be a problem. As for the file server, I agree that it might be best to keep that one onsite. I appreciate your input--score one for Azure.

Brand Representative for Cumulus Global
One of the questions you need to look at is how will users work.. Will they still use local, desktop apps connected to your storage and authenticating over the WAN (AD is okay, files may be slow), or are you going thin client/receiver with users access virtual desktops?
Azure is great if you're going to be MS-centric for the foreseeable future. I'd avoid smaller hosting firms unless you can be certain that they have the support infrastructure to address problems and staffing sufficient for off-hours project work (so many in this space do not). Be careful of traditional IT shops that decide to put serves in colo and become a hosting provider ... it's a different business and if they don't make the transition well, you will pay the price at somepoint.
In addition to AWS and Azure, I'd suggest looking at Profit Bricks. They have fully configurable servers, so you are not locked in into the S/M/L etc configs with AWS (we find that companies end up overpaying for processors if they need more memory, or vice versa). Profit Bricks will also save you significant $$ over AWS. Working with one of their partners could provide additional savings off their margins.
If you're going VDI, we have had great results in our clients with Ericom AccessNOW. It gives you full VDI, with a director and load balancing at a much lower cost than Citrix or VMware.
Jun 11, 2015 at 08:41 UTC
Azure only has sql-server as a managed DB, so you'll need to provide HA yourself on that. But if you're using multi-region for this you'll need to be prepared for monthly reboots of the servers by Azure.
AWS's managed DB server (RDS) has way more choices and is much more resilient than doing it yourself (unless you want to spend lots on full HA solution of course.
Thing abotu the 'cloud' is you need to plan for failure from day1, they can and will reboot VMs randomly and of course the entire region may break as as happened in the past.

Brand Representative for Zetta
Hi Steve, if you have large sized files/datasets, you may want to consider adding Zetta.net to your evaluation. The solution provides backup, DR & DRaaS offsite to the cloud and to your local storage. It is WAN-optimized to move large volumes--up to 5TB in 24 hours of files, applications & server images for both physical & virtual environments.
There's no SW license or recovery fees, no extra appliance to purchase, maintain or update & no extra cost for 24x7 engineer-level service/support. You can manage your entire backup environment from a single web interface from anywhere. Check it out with a free trial or I can put you in contact with someone at Zetta.net. Good luck.

Brand Representative for SoftLayer, an IBM Company
Another great option to look at is SoftLayer. With the SoftLayer architecture you'll have a full-featured API and automation, controlling a flexible unified platform that spans bare metal and virtual servers. You will have full root access to the server to remotely install Microsoft Suite and Oracle applications as needed. Let me know if I can be of further assistance!

ITS CPO export down 11.9% to 1,199,492 tonnes for the period of 1~25 Sep 2011.

Soybeans (Source: CME)
US soybean futures ended at a fresh year-to-date low as economic woes and weak external markets pressure prices. Nearby contract lost 7% this week as funds liquidated long positions and is down nearly 14% from a three-year high set in late August. Setback is likely nearly finished, as soybeans are reaching a value that will attract buyers, analysts say. "We've got to get through the liquidation before we can turn [the market] around. I think we're close," says Dale Durchholz of AgriVisor. CBOT November soybeans sink 25c to $12.58/bushel.

The pressure on soybeans sent December soymeal down $5 to close at $330.10/short ton, with December soyoil slipping 1.3c to 52.64c/pound.
Palm Oil Seen Dropping to One-Year Low as Supplies Increase, Mistry Says (Source: Bloomberg)
Palm oil may tumble to as low as 2,800 ringgit ($880) a metric ton in the next five to eight weeks, the lowest level in almost a year, as output jumps in Malaysia and Indonesia, the largest growers, according to Dorab Mistry, director of Godrej International Ltd. Futures in Malaysia will trade between 2,800 ringgit and 3,100 ringgit a ton until mid-November, Mistry said in remarks prepared for the Globoil conference in Mumbai today. The commodity, which has lost 21 percent this year, last traded at less than 2,800 ringgit in October 2010. Lower palm oil prices may curb world food prices that the United Nations predicts will stay at historically high levels this year and ease pressure on central banks to raise interest rates. Commodities fell to a nine-month low on Sept. 23 on deepening concern that governments are running out of tools to avert a global recession, eroding demand for raw-materials.
India May Face Refined Palmoil Import Shortfall (Source: CME)
India may face a shortage in refined palm oil imports in the next three months as leading supplier Indonesia doesn't have the capacity to meet a likely surge in demand following tax cuts on its product, leading vegetable oil analyst Dorab Mistry said. "Indonesia will expand [its refining capacity] in future, but it will take at least two years to meet [India's] demand," he told reporters on the sidelines of Globoil annual conference on the vegetable oil industry. Indonesia, the world's biggest palm oil producer and exporter, has reduced its export tax on refined, bleached and deodorized palm olein in bulk to 8% from 15% and raised the duty on crude palm oil to 16.5% from 15% effective Sept. 15 to encourage domestic refining. India is the world's largest importer of vegetable oil and imports mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia.
The country imports about 6 million tons of palm oil. With Indonesia slashing the export tax on refined edible oil, Indian industry is apprehensive that this may lead to a surge in imports, affecting Indian refiners. India has an edible oil refining capacity of 20 million metric tons a year and imports almost 80% of its edible oil requirement as crude oil. Higher imports of refined products will hurt local refiners. The price difference between crude palm oil and refined palm oil has now narrowed to $40/ton from $80-$100/ton before the tax cut by Indonesia, Mistry said. Earlier last week, India's edible oil industry sought a hike in the import tax on refined palm oil to 16.5% in a bid to control imports from Indonesia and to encourage local oilseeds crushing. India's food ministry is backing local refiners' demand for a higher import tax on refined edible oil to prevent cheap foreign supplies from flooding the market.
"We have put up the matter before the ministries of finance as well as trade for taking a holistic view," Food Minister K.V. Thomas said on the sidelines of an edible oil conference. The ministry has also favored the industry's demand for increasing the base value on which import tax is calculated. The base value is currently $484/ton for refined palm oil, much lower than the market price of about $1,200/ton. Mistry said if the Indian government raises the base tariff value of refined palm oil to the current price level, it may be viable for importers to continue crude palm oil imports.

Global recession jitters drive palm oil to month low
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures fell to their lowest in nearly a month as commodity markets across the board went into freefall on prospects of a global economic slowdown eroding commodity demand growth.
"The main focus is the world economy for the market and to some extent, the Globoil conference," said a trader with a local brokerage in Kuala Lumpur.
Brazil soy growers start planting in isolated rain
SAO PAULO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Brazilian soy farmers in the No. 1 growing state of Mato Grosso have begun planting the new crop after some isolated rains and predictions for more moisture to come in early October, forecasters Somar said Thursday.
The official planting season for soy started Sept. 15 in the state, but the weather has been widely dry over the center-west region that normally kicks off planting in Brazil.
Exporters sell 180,000T US soybeans to China-USDA
WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Private exporters reported the sale of 180,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans to China for delivery this marketing year, said the Agriculture Department on Thursday.
It was the second soybean sale to China in two days. On Wednesday, exporters reported the sale of 120,000 tonnes, also for delivery during the 2011/12 marketing year, which opened on Sept 1.
Indonesia's palm oil taxes, erratic weather to dominate Indian conference
MUMBAI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Global edible oil traders are anxiously awaiting top buyer India's response to lower export taxes from major palm oil producer Indonesia after bitter complaints from local refiners that they would soon be out of business.
At the annual Globoil industry meeting that starts in Mumbai on Friday, the La Nina weather pattern is also expected to be a dominant topic after forecasts it will inundate Southeast Asia -- the biggest palm oil producing region -- in a few months, possibly reducing output as demand from China and India rises.

Use 'Bob The Builder' For Sex Education, Says UN Ambassador Goedele Liekens
A sexual health adviser to the United Nations wants to fix sex education, and she's enlisted the world's favorite animated contractor to do it. Goedele Liekens, also a TV personality and a former Miss Belgium, started a controversy when she told the Radio Times this week that "Bob the Builder" was a good place for parents to start discussing relationships with their children, Express reported.
Liekens, who's touring in support of a new program called "Sex In Class," said families should bring up the topic of sex as soon as babies learn to talk, and they should use kids' TV shows to their advantage. "I have two teenage daughters, and when they were younger we'd watch 'Bob the Builder' and I'd say, 'How do you think Bob feels about Wendy? What would they do if they were in love?'" Liekens said. "You don't have to comb over the details, just demonstrate that you're happy to be open."
In "Bob the Builder," construction worker Bob often interacts with his female business partner, Wendy. Their relationship seems to be platonic, though Bob has blown her a kiss at least once. Internet users have also speculated about their romance, or lack thereof -- "I'm confused and curious ... Are they together? Are they not?" a Babble writer wondered in 2013.
Liekens pointed to the United Kingdom's high teen pregnancy rate, saying the country has been "prudish for too long" about sex education. Sex and relationship education in the U.K. is compulsory from seventh grade onward, with curricula covering reproduction, sexuality and health. Beyond that, schools set their own policies.
Liekens argued that kids were being educated too late and inconsistently. The U.K.'s teen pregnancy rate is the highest in western Europe, beat out overall by Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia. Liekens aimed to address those issues by working with the United Nations Population Fund and expanding those classes.

For the record, I watched lots of Bob the Builder episodes, and I never inferred he was smashing Wendy.

Parents should talk about Bob the Builder's sex life to toddlers? No. Stop sexualising young innocence, lefties. http://t.co/weBkkIjkuM

@WelshToy why not just let toddlers enjoy Bob the builder without being asked stupid questions??
