NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Three members of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's lacrosse team were selected to the 2014 All-Little East Men's Lacrosse Teams this afternoon, when the conference office announced its 14th annual awards program.
Senior Nick Thayer (Chelmsford, Mass.) and sophomore Bo Prozinski (Ashland, Mass.) were named to the All-Little East, first-team, while senior Adam Niden (Walpole, Mass.) represented the Corsairs on the second-team.
Thayer is making his third consecutive appearance on the All-Little East, first-team to become just the second goalie in conference history to accomplish that feat (Matt Johnson, Keene State). The product of Chelmsford, Mass. led the conference circuit in goals against average (7.36), while ranking seventh in save percentage (53.3). Thayer backstopped the Corsairs to a 13-7 record, marking the most wins in a single-season by a UMass Dartmouth netminder. A starter in all 18 games, Thayer limited his opponents to four or fewer goals in five appearances. He reached double digits in saves twice on the season, including a season-high 15 save performance in a win at Plymouth State (Apr 6). Thayer was credited with 35 ground balls and five caused turnovers. He was named the Little East Conference Men's Lacrosse Goalie of the Week four of the eight times the award was presented.
In 63 career appearances, Thayer sports an overall record of 42-20 to post a 67.7 winning percentage. He is the only goalie in program history to reach double digits in wins in three consecutive seasons. Thayer has recorded 562 career saves to own a 7.94 goals against average and a 54.2 save percentage. He has registered a single-season high 151 saves as a sophomore, including a game-high 19 stops against Keene State on April 21, 2012.
Prozinski is the first attackmen in program history to be voted to the conference's top-team. The sophomore from Ashland, Mass. is ranked among the Little East Conference leaders in goals per game (2nd, 2.94) and points per game (5th, 3.28), while leading UMass Dartmouth in goals (53) and points (59).
A starter in all 18 appearances, Prozinski produced 53 goals and six assists for 59 points, while scooping up a total of 45 ground balls and causing seven turnovers. Prozinski delivered the decisive strike against Mount Ida College (Mar 8), Plymouth State (Apr. 6), and Western Connecticut (Apr. 19). The prolific scorer tallied 10 hat tricks during the 2014 campaign, including eight games with at least four markers. Prozinski netted a career-high seven goals, including two man-up scores, to power the Corsairs past the Panthers. He registered his 100th career point in the regular-season finale at UMass Boston, when Prozinski deposited his third marker of the contest into the back of the net. The All-Little, first-team selection collected a season-best seven ground balls in a win over Norwich University. He was selected as the Little East Men's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week twice on the season.
Niden is making his second appearance on the All-Little East teams and first since earning second-team honors in 2012. The resident of Walpole, Mass. is the fifth midfielder in program history to be selected to the all-conference teams, and just the second to garner multiple certificates (Stephen Espinsola, 2011, 2010). Niden, a starter in two of his 18 games, shared the UMass Dartmouth lead in game-winning goals (3), while ranking among the leaders in goals (4th, 27), points (4th, 38), and assists (5th, 11). A consistent scoring threat, the senior recorded at least a point in each appearance. Niden registered a season-high four goals and five points in the victory over Wentworth on Mar. 22, while tallying a hat trick in the semifinals of the 2014 Little East Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament. He netted the game-winning goal to lead the Corsairs' to wins against Nichols College, Wentworth, and Salem State. Niden scooped up a season-best five ground balls against the Leopards.
Niden is currently the fourth all-time leading scorer in UMass Dartmouth history, recording 89 goals and 52 assists. He scored a career-high six markers and added an assist for seven points against Massachusetts Maritime on March 24, 2011. Niden has penned 17 special team goals into his ledger, including 16 markers on extra-man opportunities. In 56 career games, he has posted 109 ground balls and eight caused turnovers.
In 2014, Kevin Mahoney led the Corsairs to the most single-season victories (13) in program history, matching the previous standard set by the 2011 squad. UMass Dartmouth earned the No. 3 seed in the 2014 Little East Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament with a conference mark of 5-2. Mahoney led his charges to a 6-5 win over intra-state rival UMass Boston in the first round before being edged at Eastern Connecticut, 9-7, in the semifinals.

Noddle, a new website from credit reference agency Callcredit, is set to offer consumers completely free access to their credit reports online when it launches this autumn.
The membership-based service will offer individuals access to the data held on them at no cost whenever they want it, and it will be free to sign up for a log-in to the site.
Currently, consumers can get access to their credit reports online from the three major credit reference agencies at a cost of £2 for each. Callcredit's decision to offer free credit reports online through Noddle will set it apart from rivals Equifax and Experian, who currently offer people free access to their credit reports through temporary trials – after which monthly fees become payable for the service.
While Noddle has not yet been launched nationwide, the first 10,000 people to sign up on its website will have early access to the service.
Financial products tailored to your credit profile
In order to fund Noddle, Callcredit has announced the website will partner with an unnamed price comparison site in order to deliver product suggestions to consumers based on their credit profiles.
In theory, this means the credit cards, loans and mortgages 'recommended' to you are the ones you're most likely to be approved for in light of your credit history. Noddle will receive a commission when consumers take out financial products after clicking on its web links.
While users of Noddle are completely free to ignore the product suggestions it might make for them, Which? credit and debt expert Martyn Saville says: 'It's important for users of the service to be aware that Noddle's recommendations may not cover the whole of the credit card, loan or mortgage market – which means better deals may be available to consumers who look elsewhere.
'Furthermore it is possible that Noddle's product suggestions will tempt people into unnecessary debt, encouraging them to take out credit cards and loans they don't really need.'
What's in your credit report?
Your credit report contains basic information about you such as your address, whether or not you're on the electoral roll and whether you have ever been declared bankrupt, had a County Court Judgement (CCJ) made against you or entered an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).
It also acts as a record of your borrowing behaviour, detailing how much you currently owe lenders, whether you are up to date with payments or have ever been in arrears, and whether you have recently applied for a credit card, loan or mortgage.
This information is used by companies to help them decide whether or not to lend to you – but not all lenders use the same system for assessing applicants, or even the same credit reference agency.
Check your credit report regularly
There will be different 'versions' of your credit report held by Equifax, Experian and Callcredit, so it's important to check the details held by all three if you want to be sure there is no incorrect information on file. If you find errors, you have the right to correct them. You can find out about this by reading the Checking your credit report page of our Credit reports explained advice guide.
Looking at your credit reports before applying for credit is a good idea as it could prevent you making an unsuccessful attempt to get a loan or credit card. By correcting mistakes on your file before trying to borrow, you help reduce the likelihood you'll be rejected.
Keeping an eye on your credit report will also mean you are able to quickly spot any fraudulent applications for credit that might be made using your personal details. ID fraud is a concern for many people, and the earlier it is spotted the less trouble it's likely to cause for the victim.
Martyn Saville says: 'Using Noddle could be a great way to get access to your credit file for free, and by launching this service Callcredit have laid down a challenge to Experian and Equifax. People really should be able to access the data that is held on them as easily as possible – and perhaps Callcredit's move will inspire its competitors to improve what they offer consumers.'

The Emerald Sea is technically a bay like the Mediterranean. It is fairly round (oblong longer than wider), ringed by a dozen or so countries on the short plains around it, themselves ringed by the Serpant Spine mountains. The spines run down into the sea. The Gatestones, also known as The Fangs, stand sentinel on the two cliffs sides that mark the boundry between the Emerald Sea and the Greater Ocean. These tall rocky outcroppings are some of the best sight navigations on the east side of the Emerald Sea and along the Greater Ocean.
The size of the Emerald Sea is nearly three times that of the Med. The temperatures and rainfall are much like those in and around the Mediterranean. Water is seldom a problem in the lands around the Emerald Sea, as water "slides down the serpent's back" in countless streams and rivers, flowing into estuaries, marshes, and so on.
Unlike the Mediterranean, it is fairly shallow in most parts. This keeps it relatively warm, allowing the algae and seaweeds that give the sea its name.
SeaBamboo grows in the marshes around the coat.
A dozen or so countries/ states along the shores
Three passes in and out. Three Culture groups,
*Imperial: Think Romans that have fallen (one clings to itself as "the trues". Maybe we have Dokoren 1819
**Then tend to dam out the Marshes to make more arriable land. Thus we have dykes and ports that are a bit aways.
These people are smart and only fields are behind the dykes, towns/ cities are up higher.
*Chezeki (Warm weather russians, were horse people, now not.) They have lots of Raft Towns, as there are many rocks outside their waters.
*Doran (proto dylori 3601)
**they came here by sea. Related to Palordi.
**Responsible for the Longways and Polies, they taught others how to do this.
They own the big island in the middle of the sea. It was an imperial fort, but they have takenit over a long time ago.
Long Ways
Polies (huts/ buildings on poles)
Flats (rafts)
SeaBamboo. Grows a lot around the edges of the Sea.

"The stridsvagn 103 was conceived as a tank, developed in response to a demand for a tank, and used as a tank. It was not a tank destroyer or a "defensive" vehicle. Repeated trials both in Sweden and abroad showed that in most cases it was insignificantly slower to react to a target appearing on its side than a turreted tank was. In fact, due to its duplicated controls (the commander could override the gunner/driver's controls and, for example, point the tank at a target that he could see through his rotating cupola but the gunner/driver hadn't spotted) it could even be faster to react than a turreted tank without similar functionality – the turreted tank's commander would have to talk the gunner into finding the target. The inability to fire on the move was not considered a significant disadvantage considering the Swedish gunnery doctrine at the time."

Interesting blog. - Cheap Czech paper magazine "Zbraně" (Weapons) landed in my mailbox, with article "The only turretless tank", 12 000 characters long, in it. Even if the biggest part of articles in this magazine is in fact compiled. So if you are right, Sven, the internet is actually full of dumb-dumb bullets. Most people already talking about "drones" instead of UAVs, etc.ReplyDelete
"Strictly speaking, a drone is an unmanned aircraft that can fly autonomously—that is, without a human in control. - Many people (the author included) have used "drone" to describe any aircraft without an on-board pilot. But that is an oversimplification that masks the incredible range in shapes, sizes and capabilities that characterize today's unmanned aircraft." http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/what-is-a-drone-anyway/ReplyDelete

"That's not a Tank Destroyer... THIS is a Tank Destroyer".

To all my friends & family who love me and put up with me!
I love you all! xoxo
A few weeks back, I received a call that a friend had been abused by the father of her children. She had called the police and he was taken to jail.
Immediately my senses kicked in and I wanted to support her the best I could. After speaking with a family member the next day, I quickly realized that although hurting and shocked, they were concerned for HIS well being. My hair stood on end. I was outraged inside. I tried to control it but it got the best me.
For the next few days I rolled around in turmoil.
I also quickly realized I was reliving my own experience with abuse and that there were obviously unresolved feelings and emotions that I had never dealt with.
In turn, instead of being grateful, he went out and found someone who owed HIM money – a small amount at that, and DEMANDED it.
I was humbled. Thankful that God had showed me this GREAT lesson in forgiveness. I was not just reading the words on paper but
he had brought the whole thing to life in my heart. I would never be the same.
he knew was coming in my life, that would require compassion and forgiveness that could only come from him.
"Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and the one who humbles himself will be exalted"
It frees you to be able to forgive those who trespass against you…. (he came to set the captives free!)
May you find peace and joy today. May you be able to forgive yourself….or someone else.
I pray this has encouraged you somehow. I enjoy sharing what God shows me and hope it helps just one person!

Matt Bogart and Whitney Bashor are the stars of the off-Broadway musical "Himself and Nora." PHOTO: PETER MCDERMOTT
By Peter McDermott
[email protected]
"There are not many parts like it. She's a complicated, fiercely-loving woman."
That's how Whitney Bashor explained her decision to play the title female role in the off-Broadway musical "Himself and Nora."
"The Greatest Love Story Never Told," as the tagline puts it, is the romance of Dubliner James Joyce and Nora Barnacle, his lifelong partner from Galway City. The couple had their first date in Dublin on June 16, 1904, which he immortalized as the setting for his novel "Ulysses."
"I read Brenda Maddox's biography of her ['Nora: The Real Life of Molly Bloom']," Bashor said. "She's a historical character and so you have to honor that.

Keep up to date with the latest news with The Irish Echo
"But you don't have to be a Joycean to appreciate her story," she added about a woman who pressed for equality in an age when society didn't grant it.
"It's a musical. So it's accessible," agreed leading man Matt Bogart when interviewed on June 16, or Bloomsday. "You don't have to read much of Joyce to enjoy it."
"It's the little known story of a woman and how she had to deal with this mad man, at times," he said, with a laugh.
The actor continued: "The message is that love is the most important word – it resounds through Joyce's work."
Bogart has played in every performance of Jonathan Brielle's "Himself and Nora" over the past 11 years, including those in Dublin, whereas Bashor joined the show just two months ago.
"I've been enjoying the little changes that we have made. We think it's gotten richer as it's gone on," he said. "It's incredible to be able to work on it.
"I left a Broadway show ['Jersey Boys'] to do this," Bogart said of the current production. "I wanted to see it through. I believe in it."
He'd like a return to Broadway, but this time with "Himself and Nora." Variety's critic, for one, agrees that "[t]here's enough material here for a Great White Way hit!"
For now, what the New York Times has called a "lively, lusty spin through the love life of James Joyce" is playing at Minetta Lane Theatre (18 Minetta Lane, at Sixth Avenue, near West 3rd Street in Manhattan). Tickets for the show that's directed by Michael Bush, with book, music and lyrics by Brielle, can be bought through Sept. 4 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

What does it do?
Once you add your project folders to the application, it will automatically start monitoring the less files inside these folders for changes. After you have saved the less file, the application will automatically parse your less file into a regular css file.
I saved my less file, but I don't see my changes in my browser. What happened?
There are a number of different scenarios where this can happen:
- The less file you saved is invalid: please check whether the file was successfully processed in the log
- You haven't enabled the file monitoring: at the bottom of the application there is a checkbox that allows you to enable or disable the file monitoring system
- The less parser polls the files for changes every second, so it is possible that you refreshed your browser before the less parser checked the file.
Things to come
- Growl-like notifications of the parse result (confirmations/errors)
- Theming
Which operating systems are supported?
The less parser application has been developed in Adobe Air, so it should work on all operating systems that have Adobe Air.
This application has been developed under Windows 7, it has not been tested on other operating systems though. If you encounter an issue, please feel free to report it in the bugtracker.
I found a bug, what should I do?
Well, since the application is still in beta, such things can happen. If you want you can submit a bug report in the bugtracker.
The application layout looks familiar, why is that?
It is possible that you've come across "Less.app for Mac OSX" developed by Bryan D K Jones. With his consent, I have based my application layout on the layout of his application..
Who made this application?
This application is being developed by Filip Van Tendeloo. A front-end developer at Internet Architects.

Bus passport to most popular hiking routes in Iceland
This bus passport takes you to the trail of two of Iceland's most popular highland hiking routes, the Laugavegur hiking (2-4 day hike) trail and the Fimmvörðuháls hiking trail (1-2 day hike). You will get bus transfer from Reykjavík and choose between three hiking bases to start from. With the Highland Hikers Passport you enjoy the flexibility and take as much time for the hike as you please within the operation time frame (June 15th - September 15th).
Laugavegur trail - 4 day hiking tour; Landmannalaugar to Thorsmork
Backpacking from Landmannalaugar to Thorsmork on the best hiking trail in Iceland
Starting the Laugavegur 4 day hiking in Landmannalaugar, a geothermal paradise globally known for its steaming hot springs and colorful rhyolite mountains. From there we make our way deeper into the highlands where we are greeted with glaciers and glacier rivers, black sands, hot springs, waterfalls, geysers and volcanoes. Scenery and landscapes throughout the trek are truly breathtaking. With numerous stunning natural features in every step and views over mountains and glaciers as far as the eye can see. While absorbing everything Icelandic nature has to offer our guides will tell you about these mysterious areas, the landscape, flora, fauna and folklore tales that Icelanders have been brought up hearing throughout the centuries. Our guides will always make you feel safe while we make our way on this unforgettable trail, stopping at all the right places making sure you get the absolute best experience every day. We spend our nights in remote mountain huts at enchanting locations like Álftavatn , Emstrur and Hrafntinnusker which we think adds to the rural charm of the hike. In the huts, the guides will, along with the group, prepare great meals to enjoy together in a magical environment and atmosphere. Sometimes we even take an evening stroll to see some of the secret places we have found trekking the area off the beaten track.
At the end of the Laugavegur Trek, we find ourselves in Thorsmork (Þórsmörk), a green and fertile valley which takes its name from the Norse god of thunder, Thor, who is believed to have created the valley by striking down his hammer. Thorsmork is nestled at the foot of the famous glacier Eyjafjallajokull which erupted in 2010 and completely reformed some of the area.
Itinerary for 4 day Laugavegur hiking trail
Day 1: Reykjavik - Landmannalaugar and Landmannalaugar to Hranftinnusker
The tour starts by the Reykjavík tourist info at Reykjavik's City Hall (Ráðhúsið) by Tjörnin pond at 7.00 a.m. After introductions, we board the scheduled bus that takes us to Landmannalaugar. The drive takes about 3-4 hours, on the way we travel along the south coast and then turn inland and pass Iceland's most active volcano, Hekla. Our hike starts in Landmannalaugar as we walk through this geothermal wonderland and look at the colorful mountains and steaming hot springs. The trail takes us through the rough lava field, Laugahraun. From there we move to the slopes of Brennisteinsalda, which is known worldwide for its incredible spectrums of colors and photogenic looks. We walk by the beautiful hot spring Storihver before crossing into the obsidian desert by Hrafntinnusker. Storihver er one of the very few green grounds we will encounter on this day.
Distance: 12 km (7.5 mi). Walking time: 4-5 hrs. Ascent: 470 m (1540).
Day 2: Hrafntinnusker to Alftavatn
After a communal breakfast in the hut, we head out again and walk along the Reykjafjoll mountains and then descend into the Jökultungur area. The geothermal activity has turned these gullies yellow and red. We will leave the colorful rhyolite mountains and enter into an area with dark palagonite mountains and a breathtaking glacier view. If the visibility is good we hike up to Mt. Haskerdingur were the view greets you with countless glaciers, mountains and volcanoes. During the next steps, the landscape will be a lot greener and you might notice a considerable increase in vegetation. From the top of Jökultungur, there is a great view over the Fjallabak area and lake Alftavatn which is our next overnight stop. The trail down Jokulstungur is rather steep but once you are down you have landed in a fertile paradise on the banks of the river Grashagakvisl. Before reaching Álftavatn we cross an unbridged stream on foot.
Distance: 12 km (7.5 mi). Walking time: 4-5 hrs. Descent: 490 m (1610).
Day 3: Alftavant to Emstrur
We start the day with another refreshing stream crossing as we make our way past the green volcano Stórasúla and into the black desert of Mælifellssandur. On our way, we will see Hattafell, a volcano with a strange flat top. We walk through this black glacial desert and into Emstrur where there is a chance to enjoy a view of Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull glaciers. Emstrur is a lush region where farmers used to graze their sheep during the summertime. Just before reaching the huts in Botnar we turn of the path to look at Markarfljótsgljúfur, approximately 200 m deep canyon carved out by the glacial river Markarfljót. The hut in Botnar is in a little green oasis, a welcomed sight after walking through the black sands.
Distance: 15 km (9.5 mi). Walking time: 6-7 hrs. Descent: 40 m (130 ).
Day 4: Emstrur to Thorsmork valley
We put Emstrur behind us and continue on our way to Thorsmork. The trail takes us within a few kilometers from the great Myrdalsjokull glacier. As we descend towards Almenningar a few trees can be seen, a sign we are getting closer to the coast. We walk under the characteristic mountain Einhyrningur ("The Unicorn") and into the dense birch forest in Thorsmork. Thorsmork is a green valley nesting under the glaciers Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull. After enjoying our last moments viewing the beautiful landscapes of the highlands we jump on a bus back to Reykjavik.

One Response to "Axiory"
Scammers !…Back in Sep 2012 I spent many weeks searching the internet for an FX pamm broker to invest with, Axiory was highly recommended by many people on the numerous review sites.
Their website and multi-trader strategy system looked excellent, with clear investment strategies and money management systems in place, for instance their customer support , said that should a certain drawdown value be reached within a multi-trader strategy, all trading would cease, and also that should the margin call conditions be reached, only the highest value position would be closed out first.
Initially I invested modestly, in several strategies and watched as the account balances steadily grew, however my funds were fully invested most of the time, which lead to numerous margin calls…the alarm bells in my head should have been ringing loudly at this time !
However I was once again assured by customer support, not be concerned, and continued to invest more money.
Then early this year, it all went badly wrong, when three multi-trader strategies failed almost simultanucly closing many positions at random losing me tens of thousands of US$ in minuets !
I always new there was an element of risk, however nothing had prepared me to lose approx 60% of my initial investment within a few months, I had foolishly believed everything stated on their glossy website, chat line and emails.
Axiory did send me a sympathetic email admitting liability for a large portion of the losses, however after many email requests they have continuously refused to refund me.
My final words have to be…Please, Please do not trade or invest with these people, read the small print at the bottom of the investor page which states ( only invest money you can afford to lose ) because you Will lose it !
They have told me themselves that they make their profit on lots traded not success, which explains why my funds were always fully invested.
Your money is Not safe with Axiory, when one managed FX account fails they just create another one, they will do whatever they can to maintain their commissions from trades, regardless as to how it affects the Investors or Traders.
Axiory have also refused to provide me with details of their Lawyer, and SIBA ( Seychelles International Business Authority ) they will not respond to any calls or emails etc related to Axiory…beware you have been warned !

I'm sure you've read about the Temple of Diana of the Ephesians in the bible; but the only remains of her temple is a lone column left standing on the temple site, in a valley near the city center.
What you're seeing in today's post, are pictures of the Theatre where Paul was in Acts 19. Look carefully at the photos with the trees, and you can see the Theatre in the distance; it is massive, and very high. Supposedly, it would seat 30,000. The people ascending along the wall are going up to the Theatre entrance, which is likely where the events of Acts 19 took place.
The Theatre
2302 θέατρον [theatron /theh·at·ron/]; a spectacle; theatre, a place in which games and dramatic spectacles are exhibited, and public assemblies held (the Greeks used the theatre also as a forum). A place where a man is exhibited, gazed at, or made sport of. To the Greeks, a 'Theatre' had a 180 degree shape, but later, when the Coliseum in Rome was built, it was originally called an 'Amphitheater', because it was a 'double theater' being 360 degrees.
The main floor level is where speakers stood, such as Philosophers, Poets, etc., and all could hear them. What an amazing PA system! In addition, there were some Gladiator type activities there.
Acts 19: 28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. 30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

If the lyrical prose in More Than I Could Ever Know: How I Survived Caregiving left you wanting more, you will love Dale L. Baker's poetry. Jarring a Tiny Bird is the poetic sequel to Ms. Baker's award-winning memoir. The poems in Jarring a Tiny Bird chronicle life's pleasures and traumas from a mature woman's point of view. The language is visual,often coquettish and playful, but always powerful, dealing with love, loss, healing, personal mortality and the sheer joy of writing.
Jarring a Tiny Bird opens with a dedication to one strong woman in Ms. Baker's life, her grandmother and ends with a poetic tribute to another, the teacher instrumental in Ms. Baker's development as a writer. The hummingbird theme alluded to in the title strings together emotional highs and lows of caregiving and widowhood and comes to a surprising yet touching finish in a tongue-in-cheek memorial poem.
Ms. Baker is a threetime caregiver and has facilitated a caregiver support group in her home. She retired in 2003 from county social services to care for her husband Richard full-time. While still grieving his death from cancer in 2008, she assumed end-of-life care for her parents who passed away in 2010 and 2011 from Alzheimer's and heart disease, respectively . Her first book is both a motivational how-to manual for those who struggle in their long-term caregiving role and a beautifully written memoir.
More Than I Could Ever Know: How I Survived Caregiving has been honored twice as an outstanding book since its publication in March of 2014. Ms. Baker's story was a bronze medal winner in the 2014 Living Now Book Awards that inspire better Living and Family Togetherness. This literary competition recognizes the excellence of newly published books in lifestyle categories from cooking and fitness to parenting and spirituality. "These books can help people sort out the difficult issues in our fast-changing world," said Awards Director Jim Barnes. ". . . good books are necessary to inform ourselves and our loved ones so we can grow as individuals and as families."
In the 11th Annual USA Best Book Awards More Than I Could Ever Know: How I Survived Caregiving placed as a Finalist in its category. USABookNews.com the premier online magazine featuring mainstream and independent publishing houses announced over 400 winners and finalists in over 100 categories. Ms. Dale's book was selected in the "Health: Death & Dying" category.
Caregiving is a fast-growing family issue that spans years, sometimes decades. If you are of a certain age you know that one day you will meet caregiving face-to-face. Whether you are the one in bed or the one bringing juice and pills, honest communication on the deepest level will get you through the roughest days. And that's a skill that enriches any relationship. More Than I Could Ever Know: How I Survived Caregiving will recharge your own love story or make you wish you had one like it.
Your lover and best friend is dying.
You will be taking care of him until the end.
You dread the day, fast approaching,
when illness will reduce him to
a little boy
and then
a baby.
How do you cope?

Now, normally, I'm not a huge fan of remakes, particularly musical remakes...and that goes triple for a U2 song. Up until Adam Lambert sang One (on American Idol) I hadn't heard a U2 remake I could tolerate. (And yes that includes the Glee version of One.) But, when checking Jared Leto's Twitter (as I am wont to do) I discovered that 30 Seconds to Mars had covered Where The Streets Have No Name for MTV Unplugged. And my heart almost stopped. One of my favourite bands covering a song by my other favourite band. And the result? Blew. My. Mind. See for yourself:
Found on: Where The Streets Have No Name (30 Seconds To Mars) [U2 cover] from Grazzia on Vimeo.
Now I just have to cross my fingers in the hope that I can see 30 Seconds to Mars and U2 (together) live. That would be heaven.
So, what's your favourite (musical) cover?

Placebo singing "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush. I'd listen to it without watching that weird video...ReplyDelete
And Chris Garneau singing "Between the Bars" by Elliott Smith...ReplyDelete
Ohhhh - nice remakes :)ReplyDelete
I could go on about covers for absolutely days. I could probably write a blog or three about covers. Luckily, someone already has.ReplyDelete
One of my absolute favorites is probably Fiona Apple & Johnny Cash covering Cat Stevens Father & Son.
I have a feeling I'll be lurking on the http://www.covermesongs.comReplyDelete
site for quite a while :)
I love Father & Son and that is one great cover by Fiona Apple & Johnny Cash! Thanks Meoskop :)

Metal Leaf Headband ($18) from Urban OutfittersThe words Greek goddess make me think of Angelina Jolie in Alexander. Toned, tanned bod, draping white toga tunics, and tons of gold jewelry.
Although I still have a ways to go on the toned, tanned bod, I'm starting my Greek goddess transformation with Urban Outfitter's Metal Leaf Headband ($18).
This thin headband comes in two silver and brass, and of course I want the brass one.
I'm planning on wearing it with a a plain black shift dress so the headband stands out. It would also look super sweet with a cardigan and boots.
They also have a thin silver headband with tiny leaves all around it. Oh and it must be headband day since Brittny and I both are loving this gold look!
What do you think of this Greek goddess trend?

Arctech Helsinki Shipyard has been awarded a contract to build a multipurpose emergency and rescue vessel for Russian Ministry of Transport. The contract has been awarded together with Shipyard Yantar JSC. The value of the order is about EUR 76 million.
The project will start immediately and the vessel will be delivered to the customer in December 2013. The hull of the vessel will be built by Shipyard Yantar, which is one of the shipyards belonging to United Shipbuilding Corporation, the Russian part owner of Arctech. The outfitting and finalizing of the vessel will be done by Arctech in Helsinki.
"This order re-confirms Arctech Helsinki Shipyard's world class position in the design and production of the most advanced and sophisticated ice-breaking and arctic tonnage. This order is very important for Arctech as it is a completely new design and it will give us a good workload during 2012 and 2013", says Esko Mustamäki, Managing Director of Arctech Helsinki Shipyard.
This new and unique multipurpose emergency and rescue icebreaker represents a completely new type of oil spill combat technology. The design of the vessel is based on ARC 100 concept, which has been developed by Aker Arctic Technology for Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. The vessel features a patented oblique design with asymmetric hull and three azimuthing propulsors, which allow the vessel to operate efficiently ahead, astern and obliquely (sideways). The vessel can proceed on a continuous mode in 1.0 m thick level ice both ahead and astern and in oblique mode she will be able to generate 50 m wide channel in 0.6 m level ice.
The vessel will be used in icebreaking operations and sea towing of vessels and floating facilities and also features a very advanced oil recovery system suitable for operation even in heavy waves. The vessel measures 76,4 m in length and 20,5 m in breadth. The three main diesel generator sets have the total power of 9 MW. The total propulsion power is about 7 MW.
"Oil combat in ice conditions is one of the major challenges for the international oil industry. After many years of development work the oblique icebreaker concept represents a new approach for a solution", says Mikko Niini, Managing Director of Aker Arctic.

Joss Moog releases his debut album 'Late Nite Beats' on 14th June through Phil Weeks' Robsoul Recordings. The Parisian has impressed with his releases on Robsoul since 2006, beginning with the much sought-after Room 25 EP, and has subsequently built up a discography including music for Magnetic, Maracuja, Kinjo, Exprezoo, Minority and Synchrophone.
Late Nite Beats showcases Moog's skill at blending live instrumentation with soul-filled samples and beats from the vintage house boxes — it's deep and musical, intricately crafted, but with more than enough bite to bump the dance floor, as tracks like Late Nite Beat, Mama Hold My Hand and Call Me testify. Moog's love of funk and soul are in heavy evidence, with numerous departures from House on the tracks including Childhood Fancy, Last Chapter and Sweet Mary. And there's a clear French touch, with Which Flavour, That Woman and Second Chance delivering late 90's styled filtered grooves that Daft Punk et al would be proud of.
A recently released four-track album sampler drew DJ support from a varied group of established players and current hot names — Rolando, Danny Howells, Kraak & Smaak, Radio 1's Mosca, Gramophonedzie, Giom, Noir, Rolando, Moodymanc, Jimpster, Robert Owens, Diesel (X-Press 2), Mousse T, Ramon Tapia and Reboot just the tip of the iceberg.

Mileage of Ford Focus
Ford Focus continues to be one of the most popular hatchback cars in the U.K.
This car is available in four trim levels with apt features. With mileage being Focus' major highlight let us have a look at what others have got to say.
Reviews on mileage of Ford Focus
Dailytech [dot] com says Ford Focus can be termed as the Super Fuel economy car that achieves 28 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highways as its mileage. The combined mileage could be stated to be 34 mpg. The 2.0 litre direct injection inline-four engine produces an impressive 160 horse power. In order to attain the best fuel economy from Focus, Ford has given a dual clutch PowerShift transmission, active grille shutters to improve aerodynamic efficiency and 16 inch wheels with aero covers. The all new Ford Focus meets the mileage expectations, has got class leading technology and features and exceptional standards of craftsmanship.
Stevenlarkins [dot] freeuk [dot] com says that the mileage of the new 1.6 TDCI Ford Focus is amongst the best in its class. We manage to get a mileage between 55 mpg and 58 mpg on a mixture of 50 miles of motorway journey and the school runs often through traffic congestions. Ford focus is one of the most economical cars to run and amongst the cheapest small cars to own. It has also got low emissions that make Ford Focus a 'green car'.
Content [dot] usatoday [dot] com says that the regular models with automatic transmissions have got an EPA rated 28 mpg mileage in the city and 38 mpg mileage on highways, making the combined mileage of Ford Focus to be 31 mpg. The manual transmission models of Ford Focus give a mileage of 26 mpg in the city, 36 on highways making a combined mileage of 30 mpg. The Ford Focus that comes with the Super Fuel Economy package gives a magical mileage of 40 on the highways and 28 in the city.
Mileage of Ford Focus: The final verdict
Keeping in mind all the points and the new changes in the Ford Focus we can conclude by saying that Ford Focus is ones of the most fuel efficient cars in the UK automobile market which is also low on maintenance and is best suited for a happy small family. The mileage of Ford Focus can be stated to be between 28 to 38 mpg.

At first glance, New Karibbean City is not at all inviting. You walk up a dingy staircase into a large bar/community center that's more likely than not empty. It's also more likely than not that you'll have to go back into the kitchen to find someone to take your order. Takeout recommended.
But the food, which they've served on and off for years and is now a consistent lunch offering, is pretty great, says 10foot5.
The jerk chicken has a smoky undercurrent and enough spice to set your mouth on fire. It tends to be a bit dry, though. Curry goat is excellent too, if salty. The only disappointment is the oxtails, which are acceptable but neither as tender nor as flavorful as they could be.
Other options are brown stew chicken, curry chicken, and escoviche fish (like a spicy Caribbean ceviche). Prices range from $6–$10 "depending on your luck," says 10foot5. "The food is well worth $10 so I don't mind." Portions are generous and come with rice and peas (beans), plantains, and festivals, a dense semi-sweet kind of doughnut that helps absorb the spiciness.

Scott, Johnson & The Double Clutch Shift
When listening to a recent episode of Effectively Wild, Baseball Prospectus' daily podcast, a thought stuck with me. While discussing team batting average with runners in scoring position, Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller noted that some teams, and hitters, may have certain advantages over others aside from just having more raw talent.
Lindberg and Miller specifically referenced left-handed batters avoiding the shift. The belief is these hitters may benefit from defensive positioning with runners on base because the hole between second base and first base – their pull zone – becomes a little wider as defenders have to worry about holding runner, receiving pickoff throws, or setting up for double plays. If a team has multiple lefties routinely coming to the plate with men in scoring position, and those hitters can exploit the gap in defensive coverage, then in theory this team might have a higher than average mark with runners in scoring position.
The league average line with RISP this season is .254/.335/.387. The Cardinals are nearly lapping the field with a line of .328/.404/.455. In the American League, the highly talented Tigers led by Miguel Cabrera set the pace at .285/.362/.460. As shocking as it may seem, right behind them is the Rays, who have hit .278/.351/.412 as a collective. This after Tampa Bay ranked 26th in hitting with RISP from 2010-2012.
Wil Myers – and his knack for big moments – paces the Rays with runners in scoring position. Of his 63 overall hits, 20 have come with RISP (.364). Behind Myers, in terms of average, is not Evan Longoria, not Ben Zobrist, and not Matt Joyce either. Rather a trio of lefties: Kelly Johnson, James Loney, and Luke Scott that have helped put the Rays near the top of league.
Myers is one of the supreme talents in the game. It is no surprise to see him excel in any category when it comes to hitting a baseball. James Loney has fantastic contact skills and bat control that allow him to hit to all fields. Meanwhile, Johnson and Scott, though they both possess power, are not necessarily the most refined or naturally gifted hitters. Perhaps they possess a clutch gene that is unseen to the naked eye or in a box score. Or maybe the two left-hander are taking advantage of spacing.
Like most left-handed batters, Johnson and Scott enjoy hitting to their pull-side or to right field. With the shift becoming commonplace some of their groundballs that would normally rolled through the hole for a hit have become routine 4-3 putouts.
Admittedly, this is were the sampling will get a bit narrower.The league has not treated Johnson as extremely as others, but you will see the occassional defender graze over to the right side with the bases empty. The league average for left-handed hitters on pulled groundballs is .225. Johnson comes in above that at .278. With men on base, and a more traditional defense in most cases, it jumps to .364.
The shift has become customary for most of Luke Scott's plate appearances. On groundballs to the right side with the bases empty, he has just one hit this season. Meanwhile, with runners on base, he has five hits on the same batted-ball type.
Correlation does not imply causation. That said, it would seem as if at least some of Scott and Johnson's success (and clutchness) with runners in scoring position is a partial product of the defense being unable to correctly defend the type of ball they enjoy hitting.
Common sense says Rays' manager Joe Maddon should tailor his lineup to feed hitters like Myers and Evan Longoria. At the same time, setting up the order in a way that also highlights the strength of lesser, naturally gifted hitters is important as well. In a perfect world scenario, Maddon places Scott and Johnson in spots* where they bat behind players with higher on-base percentages. This should decrease the number of opportunies opposing managers have to throw on the shift while increasing the likelihood of a ball hit to the right side sneaking through a hole that previously was not there.
*Maddon has used Johnson and Scott in the second spot in the order several times and used a similar tactic with Carloa Pena last season.

[…] in scoring position — and he matched that .808 OPS with RISP last season.* As friend of RAB Tommy Rancel notes, this might be due to Johnson's pull tendency. While, as we've seen with Mark Teixeira […]

A Thousand Roads
Azzadul, the god-king, the Lord of Light revered by many. When the darkness corrupted him, he became the Dark Lord, feared the world over. His magic, once a gateway to immortality for his people, delved instead into horrors as he sought ever deeper levels of mastery. Children were stolen from their beds, coveted for his blood-rites. When he vanished, it all ended, and the people of the world tried to forget, to move on…
Jak Fuller has always wanted a home. An orphan born ten years after Azzadul's disappearance, he has wandered far and wide, trying to forget the memory of a burning woman. When he comes to Fort Lasthall, on the outskirts of the Dark Lord's former kingdom, he hopes to finally settle into a peaceful life. Instead, he finds himself unnaturally compelled by a dark, terrible voice, a voice that knows him, calls to him. A sense of destiny that fills him with fear.
New powers are rising in the dark places of the world. A master of fire-rites called Talamus the Red, arch-foe of Azzadul, seeks to enslave the world with a magic he has been developing for the many centuries of his life. Ready at last, there is only one weakness in his plan, an obstacle he is determined to remove: a boy, bound to an old magic that just might resurrect the power of Azzadul.
The very power bound to Jak, before he was even born…
A Thousand Roads is a truly impressive debut — a fully realized world teeming with magic, intrigue, and the undead. --
—Craig Munro, author of The Bones of the Past

'A successful city is like a fabulous party, people stay because they are having a great time'
We've been watching this at BB HQ whilst occasionally shouting 'YES Amanda!' and punching the air. Public spaces do have power, they can change how you live, how you feel. Have a watch…
Table 9 theory
Imagine it's your birthday. You're having a party and just before you blow out the candles on a delicious cake someone halts proceedings to say there's been a mix-up and it's not actually your birthday at all.
Well, something like this happened to us recently. It was really quite weird although, to continue the metaphor, we were allowed to stay at the party and eat the cake, it just wasn't our party and our cake anymore.
But sometimes things just don't go to plan. Sometimes expectations are shifted so dramatically one has to have a grounding gin and tonic, make a toast to 'fruitful tension' and continue proceeding with the inquiring air of Columbo on a case. The 'letting go' required in such situations is a release in the egoic sense, opening towards wider horizons and and new eventualities. There's a particular freedom and something rather healthy about it.
We sailed through the weirdness that night and ended up with some interesting new connections and acquaintances, not to mention some good food and drink. Table 9 at the unnamed event was a hot bed of revolutionary talk and subversive mutterings: 'maybe this is the beginning of something', someone said.
So look out for that fertile void because it might be just the thing you need.
Fruitful tension.

Sod turned for Jindelara Cottage
Media Release
10 February 2017
- New five-bedroom cottage with facilities to assist people living with a disability in the community.
- First Sod turned on the project—the $716,710 Jindelara Cottage in Ulladulla.
- Coalition Government invested $358,355 in the project.
The first sod was turned today on the Jindelara Cottage, which will provide disability respite care for local children and young adults once built.
Minister for Regional Development Fiona Nash said the Jindelara Cottage Project would deliver a purpose built five-bedroom cottage with modern facilities to accommodate people living with a disability in the community.
"I am proud to invest in building vital facilities that help the local community and those living with a disability," Minister Nash said.
"Jindelara Cottage will enable local families to access a vital service here in the region without the disruption, stress and expense of travelling long distance. I aim to help build the kinds of communities our children and grandchildren either want to stay in or come back to and facilities like this one are a big part of that."
Federal Member for Gilmore Ann Sudmalis joined the Ulladulla community at the sod turning today said the Cottage will be accessed by over 60 children and young adults living with a significant disability on numerous occasions in a year.
"We also expect that local residents from Jervis Bay to East Lynne will access this facility," Mrs Sudmalis said.
"The Cottage will provide parents, families and primary carers with a modern local respite facility for their loved ones—we often forget the critical role that respite care provides the caregivers—it provides time for relaxation, reducing stress and burnout."
President of Lions Ulladulla District Community Foundation Brian Thompson said eight full-time jobs would be created during construction of the Jindelara Cottage, with an additional 10 ongoing positions once the facility becomes operational.
"I look forward to working with Jindelara Services to deliver much-needed services to families and carers of people living with disabilities," Mr Thompson said.
The Jindelara Cottage was jointly funded by the Coalition Government ($358,355), Lions—Ulladulla District Community Foundation Incorporated ($164,405), Lions International Community Foundation ($126,000) and Jindelara Services Incorporated ($67,950).
