- Introduction
- Here Comes Sunshine
- Weather Report Suite
- The Other One >
- Eyes of the World
- We Bid You Goodnight
1974 began with three isolated shows at Winterland in late February. The third one was released as "Dave's Picks" Vol. 13; this is the second one. It closes off 1973 to the extent that this is the final "Here Comes Sunshine" of the era. The way the vocals are mixed on this soundboard makes it one of the best sounding versions, overall.
The highlight of the show is a long, mostly-quiet, but very powerful, slowly building stretch of exploration in the middle of "The Other One," which eventually leads to some early "Slipknot" riffing.
The soundboard mix of this show is strange. At times, Jerry's guitar is extremely quiet or vanishes altogether. Keith's piano can also vary from absent to leading the mix. However, everything else about the sound is robust, and you won't experience any deficits in the material I've pulled aside.

Band will close their reunion tour in Chile before splitting for good
Faith No More have announced plans to play their final gig in Chile.
The band reformed for a series of UK and European festival dates in 2009 – 11 years after they first split in 1998 – although the line-up did not include guitarist Jim Martin, who left the band in 1993.
However keyboardist Roddy Bottum confirmed the band will play their final gig in Chile before splitting, on his Twitter page. "It's true, we're giving Santiago [Bicentenário de la Florida] what they've asked for. We're wrapping up the FNM reunited tour in Santiago, Chile on December 5!!!!" he tweeted.
Although plans were initially in the pipeline to record a new album, Bottum said the gig will mark the end of the band.
"In my opinion recording an album was a great idea," he told Chile's Terra.cl website. "The balance was good because we know each other well. But things were complicated – it was very strange to return after a decade.
"When we decided to get together, it was to reconnect and relive something we had in common. It was very important to us – but doing these shows was the only thing we were going to do."

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting a complete guide to writing their own DHTML.
My Rating:
If you already know HTML and Javascript then this book provides all of what you needed to know to be able to get started with creating your own dynamic HTML scripts. The scripts in the book concentrates on the standard document object model which is supported by Internet Explorer 5+, Netscape 6+, and Opera 7+. Most will also work in Opera 5/6.
If you need support version 4 browsers as well then the book refers you to the web site which still has the scripts available from the second edition of the book that supported these browsers.
This book is at an intermediate level and assumes that you already have a reasonable understanding of HTML and Javascript. Provided that you have such knowledge before you start on this book you should have no difficulty in following the subjects covered in this book which first introduce you to the various values that you can set in stylesheets and then demonstrates how you can update these values and the other attributes of the objects on your web page through DHTML.
Most of the scripts in the book work as expected although in some cases the code provided can be simplified somewhat and still achieve the same result. A number of scripts have Internet Explorer code that gets applied to any browser that calls itself IE. There are also one or two that have unexpected side effects such as the script provided to get rid of active link borders that also makes the page impossible to use from the keyboard.

Emotions and forex trading
Topic: Emotions and forex trading
Thereare certain situations where a trader may face loss and it is very natural that not every time a trader can accurately read the market and earn good money. Rather in the world market, sometime a trader will earn money and sometime he won't be able to manage the situations and thereby he may lose money. But a trader needs to learn how to grip the emotions like resentment, disturbance and ravenousness because all these pessimistic emotions can force a trader to take wrong decisions and lead to significant loss.

The Benefits of The Right Fascias | Kents Direct | UK
The Benefits Of Choosing The Right Roof Fascia
When looking to make repairs to your roof, you'll need to pick a roof fascia that's up to the job. It's an important part of the roof, and one you certainly can't skimp on. That's why you need to think carefully when picking a fascia or plastic fascia for your home.
Here are the benefits of using a good quality roof fascia for your roof, and why you should do your research before buying.
PVC Makes Your Fascias Hardier
Your roof takes a lot of abuse, day after day. High winds and rain can pelt it for hours or days on end, and it's got to stand up to it. If it can't, then water can get into the roof itself and cause a lot of problems later down the line. That's why you need a material that can take that amount of pressure.
These days, PVC fascias are considered to be some of the best on the market. They're hardwearing, and won't need replacing for years to come once they're installed. You can use them and be safe in the knowledge that your roof is protected.
Good Fascias Are Easy To Install
If you're looking to go the DIY route, then you're going to need a good quality fascia to work with. These will come in long lengths and will be easy to cut if you need to. If you need some advice on installing them, the experts at the store you buy them from can walk you through the process.
Here at Kents Building Plastics, we'd be happy to walk you through any of the installation process. Just ask, and we'll help you out.
Have Any Colour Or Pattern You Like
Many people choose to go with wood for their roof fascia, as they can paint it to any colour they like to match the rest of the house. This will look good for a while, but it can start to peel and fade away. This means you would have to get back up to the roof area and repaint it.
Modern, good quality fascias come in as many colours as you can think of. If you need a shade to match the rest of your home, just ask. You'll be amazed at how much choice there is. The real benefit of this is the PVC won't fade or peel or rot, so the colour will stand up to the years with ease.
Have A Roof You Can Be Proud Of
A roof that's well constructed is one that will last for years to come. Your roof fascia plays a vital role in keeping the roof in good shape. Make sure you're using the best quality fascias, and you know you won't have to worry about your roof for years to come.
If you're looking to replace your roof fascia, then you'll need to talk to us at Kents Building Plastics. We'll help you find the right fascia for you, and get it installed on your home. You'll be amazed at how good your roof can look!

5. Ford Ka
* Our least favourite new cars * Disagree? * Then let us know!...
The previous-generation Ka has been on sale for 12 years, which is an incredibly long time for any car.
British buyers took a third of all sales over this time, and there was actually a 10% increase in the number being bought in the UK in the final year.
With many people considering downsizing as the economy bites down hard, Ford is launching the all-new Ka at a perfect time. It goes on sale by the end of the year with prices starting at around 7600.
If the snappy design, and the bright colours, arent enough for you, youll also be able to dress Zetec-trimmed Kas up with a range of factory-fitted styling packs called Digital, Grand Prix and Tattoo. Cooool.
Youll be able to personalise even further with a range of chrome and colour-coded parts, spoilers and leather interiors.
The Ka is based on the Fiat 500, which isnt amazing to drive, but Ford should be able to inject a bit more fun considering the excellent job its done with the latest Fiesta.
The ancient engines from the last Ka are ditched, thankfully, and replaced by a 69bhp 1.2-litre petrol and 75bhp 1.3-litre diesel at launch. Beyond that its likely that a racier Sportka engine will emerge, probably using the 135bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine thats underneath the bonnet of the 500 Abarth.
You can opt for iPod compatibility, and climate control, cruise control and automatic headlights and wipers are also likely to be on the options list.
Four trim levels of Studio, Style, Style + and Zetec will be on offer with the latter two likely to have air conditioning fitted as standard.
Why we didn't like it If it takes wierd colour schemes and stickers to make your car look good, then something's gone wrong.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Model S: Battery & Charging' started by DCWitt, Aug 12, 2014.
Can this be correct? If so, its a game changer....
That has to be a typo.
Even in ideal conditions, the most you can get from a 120kW source for 1/2 an hour is 60kWh. You cannot got 270 miles on 60 kWh, unless it's mostly downhill
Maybe it's 270km, but labeled incorrectly (170 miles is 273km)?
From Tesla Charging | Tesla Motors
It would suggest an average charge rate of 150 kW+
Looks like it is still showing 170 when I pull it up. Not sure what map you're looking at - has CHADEMO as the middle bar... URL?
Says 170 for me.
Webpage for me still says 170 miles per 30 minutes.
Must have been a typo that got quickly fixed.
That was the Supercharger web page on the Teslamotors site....
Must have been a typo, because it is back to 170 now and ChadeMo
is gone.
That is an interesting typo....you must admit.
Do the ChadeMo and home charging numbers look correct in that
screen shot?
Looks like a European page. 270 km with the home charging being 11 kW.
As I think about this, the page likely portends
the release of the ChadeMo adaptor. At least in Europe.
My guess is just that you've somehow confused the site's locale settings.
If you go to Supercharger | Tesla Motors you see 270.
If you go to Supercharger | Tesla Motors you see 170 (and comparisons with 40A chargers)
And if you go to Supercharger | Tesla Motors you see 170 but with the CHAdeMO reference too.
Might be....my Ipad and I just returned from Europe.
However, the link that shows 270, also has axis labeled Miles not Kilometers
Actually these graphs have a few errrors:
The y-axis is labelled miles on the English language European version even though the ranges are Km.
And the British version says you can charge at 17mph from a 7kW home charger when I suspect that's 17km/h.
But for example in French it's correct (it uses KM on the y-axis): Supercharger | Tesla Motors
Why do I have a feeling someone, somewhere, is going to start a thread about how they bought the car expecting a 270 mile supercharge in 20 minutes, and how Tesla mislead them. I'm serious. Give it some time.
Regardless, they should fix the labels on the renderings that have it wrong.
I reported the errors earlier and got a reply 10 minutes later saying they had passed the request on to their web people to fix.

I stand corrected on that one! I guess I consider non-sensical to doubt
the existence of sensorial perception... ;-)
However, as Gerry pointed out, the existence of either a god or a
creator is *still* not self-evident according to the rules of logic
(BTW, that nothing comes out of nothing is an inference based on
experience, not a deep philosophical conclusion...).

First of all, if you knew Melissa, you would *know* that I had no
choice... ;-)

Of course we are! And the programmer is natural selection. I think you
are confusing programmability with unpredictability. Just because human
behavior may be unpredictable it doesn't mean that it is not programmed.
There are two ways in which you can make a program the output of which
is unpredictable: a) you can simply infuse a random number generator to
make decisions; or b) more interestingly, you can write a complex
program with feedback loops and context-dependent decision making
processes. These programs fall into the category of "undecidable",
meaning that not even the programmer can tell you what's going to
happen. You just have to run the machine.
> I am sure Big Blue did not know that it was playing chess.
Big Blue probably didn't, but there is absolutely nothing in principle
that precludes a thinking computer. For one thing, to the best of our
knowledge, that's exactly what every animal is. Second, our current
computers are still infinitely simple compared to most animal brains, so
the comparison is not yet fair.

The "wetness" is an emerging property of, say, hydrogen and oxygen when
properly combined. Similarly, consciousness is clearly an epiphenomenon
of neuronal connections in the brain. So? In both cases you have a clear
*physical* basis. I was talking about free will, which is by no means
the same as consciousness...ciao,

Boulder, CO Real Estate
For Cari, buying or selling a house is less about selling anything and more about being a matchmaker. It's helping people find a home that meets their needs and makes sense as a business decision.
Discover Boulder
Boulder, Colorado is located just 30 minutes northwest of Denver, where the plains meet the Rocky Mountains. Boulder is a great place to live. Let us help you find the perfect Boulder home.
Meet Cari
I consider myself so lucky to call Boulder home. The same focus and attention to detail that I needed to be a world class athlete is what also drives me to be the best real estate professional.
I've bought and sold homes for over 50 years. Cari strikes me as being the most efficient, thorough, and available agent I've experienced. Also, her knowledge and experience spread beyond Boulder City limits and into all of Boulder County.
Cari has been a wonderful and patient partner. While we have lived in Boulder long enough to understand the market, Cari's advice was quite helpful. She was instrumental in helping us to craft a winning offer on the perfect home. We highly recommend Cari based on her positive attitude, enjoyable demeanor, and tenacity.

Read some of the comments made by our previous happy clients
Question: Why did you choose me to assist you with your mortgage?
Answer: Had dealt with you before and were very happy with the results. I liked how your people took care of everything, especially Brad. One call to him and things were on the way!
As always, once we made our decision to sell and purchase another house, your team and you Mark were excellent. We had time to concentrate on our purchase and finding our home while you took care of everything. Thanks!
Question: Why did you choose me to assist you with your mortgage?
Answer: We have been with you about 15 years now. We like being able to just call and get the ball rolling. Our daughter is with you and our son hopes to buy next year.
Much easier and friendlier than using a bank. Nice to be able to get things rolling with a phone call!
I had heard great things about you through other individuals and was recommended to contact you. The entire process was very personable. I felt appreciated, understood and treated with courtesy. Honestly, nothing was challenging on the mortgage end. It was very common sense expectations. All was made easy for me due to great communication back and forth!
I have many friends that in the future will be requiring mortgage assistance. When that time comes, I will absolutely recommend that they contact you when reviewing their options.
Mark and team, thank you so much for all of your hard work. It is appreciated greatly. You all worked diligently to ensure that this process would result smoothly and positively. You made this entire experience very convenient and provided me with excellent service and guidance.
Thank you to the Mortgage Man Team. Your service has been amazing! From the moment you walk into their office, you are greeted with friendliness and smiles from Corin and Lynn. Brad was fully prepared to assess our needs with information and scenarios to best meet our needs. He is confident, knowledgeable, sincere and personable. We have dealt with the Mortgage Man for many years and each time they have been most helpful and accommodating during this time of recessional challenges. For any clients requiring assistance with their mortgage needs, it is my recommendation to approach the Mortgage Team/Dominion Lending Centre in Orillia. Thanks to all of you!!
I recently referred my daughter to Brad to take care of her mortgage. She was so thrilled with the service she received. When we later emailed Mark Goode from Jamaica to try and secure money for a vacation home, we found everything was already in the works by the time we returned home. Mark Goode made our dream of a vacation home in Jamaica, a reality.
~ Jennifer
We recently bought another house, and found the thought of having another mortgage to be a scary one. We went to Mark Goode and the entire process was painless. The staff were all very professional and helpful. When leaving the office, we felt relieved and reassured that we had made the right decision. Once our mortgage comes up for renewal, I know we will visit Mark Goode's office again for the same exceptional service.
Thanks Very Much for making our mortgage uneventful and painless!
You Guys Rock
About 2 years ago my wife and I decided our interest rate on our mortgage was too high. We thought about re-financing but didn't know if we would qualify or what the rates would be. We 'shopped' around and went to a few different banks, leaving more confused and disappointed. I heard an ad on the radio for Mark Goode but we didn't think we could afford a mortgage broker – much to our surprise not only were there no hidden costs to us, we got the best rate we could and were shown how to open up our cash flow and get rid of our debt faster. Shortly after re-financing my wife became very ill and we were so glad we went to Mark when we did. Between many trips to Toronto, a lot of medical expenses and my wife off work for months, money was really tight but we didn't have to worry about our bills and could focus on what really mattered. We highly recommend taking the time to see Mark and his team, they helped us out so much and we are very thankful we made that appointment!

Last Monday, 25th February, 2016, Sierra Leone's foreign minister Samura Kamara travelled to London, along with a handful of prominent Sierra Leonean businessmen, including the chief executive officer of Sierra Rutile – John Sisay. Their mission was to sell Sierra Leone's investment potential to British companies and investors, present at the UK-Sierra Leone Trade and Investment Forum, in the luxurious Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in Piccadilly. The event was organised by the London based foreign investment promotions company – Developing Markets Associates Ltd. (DMA), in partnership with SLIEPA and supported by the UN, ECOWAS, Mano River Union, FCO, and UKTI. President Koroma was to have led his delegation to London for the event, but pulled out for some unknown reason, leaving his foreign minister to carry the baton. The UK-Sierra Leone Trade & Investment Forum was billed as the country's most significant investment outreach in recent years. In 2010 president Koroma led a similar delegation to London to sell the country's investment potential, hosted by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Dashboard View of Your Organization's Skill "DNA" At a Glance
Just as DNA is specific to a given individual, a Talent Audit can pinpoint the "job skill DNA" of a given employee. The Talent Audit provides access to skill comparisons and overall success potentials with the predictive accuracy similar to the way a DNA strand identifies genetic makeup of each individual. In this manner organizations are able to inventory a complete list of strengths and development needs for all key employees across every important position, with every team, or across the whole organization. And, once you implement the initial talent audit service, Chally will work with you to update the Talent Audit data on an ongoing basis, with information on new hires, promotions, new profiles, derailers, and any other employee changes and needs of your organization.
Talent Audit
Since no one person can be successful in every role, Chally's Talent Audit compares multiple individuals across multiple roles, to identify where their skills best match the company's needs
- Identifying an organization's bench strength can allow an accurate redeployment of individuals if circumstances warrant
- The Talent Audit shows where to focus training dollars by identifying those areas where the team needs development in order to be more successful, while also showing those areas where training would not be effective
Performance Trac
How do you best drive strategy execution with the talent that you currently have? Today, as companies are re-establishing strategy, senior leaders are asking themselves, "Do we have the right talent to execute the new direction?" With limited budget, leaders want to know who to develop, when they have gaps and where focuses developed will deliver maximum ROI.
Performance Trac is focused on diagnosing an organization's talent POTENTIAL and then measuring their current state of PERFORMANCE to determine if it aligns with the specific talent needs. Once the needs/gaps are identified via Performance Trac, you can prescribe sales and leadership training/coaching/development to aid your organization in achieving your strategy and goals with the associates that have the highest probability of improvement.
Key Actions from the Data Include:
- Diagnosing Bench Strength: Potential versus Observed Performance
- Provide critical decision making criteria to help leaders understand their talent pools
- Compare individuals/teams against multiple roles for deployment/succession planning decisions
- Identify key trends strengths, gaps, and needs for targeted developmental opportunities
- Compare the difference between potential (assessment) and observed performance

Sometimes it is about the technology and sometimes it is about the way we use the technology.
The reality is that this organization has all the ability to develop anything they want.
However, talking to one another as they develop interactive tools is not as easy as it sounds. A quick intervention was set in place.
Results Remain To Be Seen
The Study, done within ten days was profound. The methodology identified a well run teleweb center with high level ability, talent and commitment both from worker and management.
However, the customer for the study is a true activist involved in developing critical tools for upgrading the on line environment for customers, partners and the worker. As an activist, this person also takes risks to identify where improvement may be necessary.
The study demonstrated several "key areas" and our customer is "awaiting a response". We all know what that means in big environments. That statement is not intended to be cynical.
It is an example of the reality that many of us face as we confront issues that seem obvious, but not easy to address in complicated organization structures.

In HM attacks hit harder and ground effects happen faster. Boss and Hulks have more HP and there are additional adds. There are no cleanse pads and curses stay even if you die! With damage from all sources being increased, timing on self buffs is critical. Using Absorb Magicka on minigun attack is a must. When you boss preparing for gun attake make sure you are fully buffed: Hardened Armor for healing passive, GDB for healing passive, Major Vitality pots too. Hulks have more HP which means they will be bounced between tanks very often. Communication and positioning is the key.
With more Hulk swaps you might need to take him in middle of mechanic (meteor/gun). Hulk must not be LOS blocked by boss, otherwise it makes taunting him more difficult. Notice how after 2nd shatter off-tank takes few steps back to make it easier for main tank to taunt hulk. Even if Hulk is almost dead you dont want to risk a 3rd shatter on off tank. Swap it even if its just for few seconds. New adds – Assassins – back room is divided into three sections. When each is cleared an Assassin will spawn in middle room. They are taunted by off tank and cleaved by AOE. All AOE effects happen faster. Including meteors. Each subsequent meteor that hits you does more damage. A risky way of doing this is to not block at all – move at full speed, avoid meteors but watch out for heavy attack/treshing wings/assassin spin since it can throw you out of platform.
The sooner you get to next pad, the sooner off tank can start positioning Hulk/Assassins without risk of him stealing lunar buff. Little things like this matter. An example of no-block meteor avoiding. Goes well untill Assassin spin knocks me back. In preparation for Lunar Phase Hulk MUST be dead. At this point all DPS goes on him. Nova greatly helps to survivie this phase. By this point everybody should be alive. Boss will begin Lunar Phase when Hulk is almost dead. Remember to take him off from off tank. Please read video description for general information about Lunar Phase (tips in later part of video will be more specific). Lunar Phase begins when all dark pads turn blue. Its important to wait for transition and not step on them too early since some people might have curses. Both tanks take place in middle along with healers. Each DPS gets their own outer pad. Their goal is to kill add. Our goal is to help them. Players in middle can use "Celestial Purge" synergy on enemy. It causes that add to take VERY INCREASED damage from all sources.
Thats why each DPS will be DPSing only and only the add that is currently beamed. Both tanks and both healers will beam each next add one after another. When 1st add dies 2nd gets beamed, when 2nd dies 3rd gets beamed etc. The non-beaming tank helps in any way they can, from throwing Orbs for resources to spamming either inner fire or chains for DPS on beamed add (yes, even this little DPS matters here). When Lunar Phase ends everyone who had curse is cleansed out of it. Perfectly, all adds should die. Any add left alive can easily 1-shot DPS players during meteor stun. Sun-Eaters will cast the Orb attack that hits like a truck and can easily knock down a tank. Act fast, block, move to new lunar pad, taunt whats remaining so people can recover from deaths. At this point its back to previous rotation. With small exception, now after every pad swap an Archer will spawn. Its wide arrow spray its very hard to avoid especially when off tank have plenty to do with Hulk positioning.
When situation cools down, off tank will take care of it. In meantime be wary of arrow spray bleed and call for cleanses. The execute phase. Things to remember: Hulk. Unstable Void. Orbs. Normally main tank is protected from unstable void by lunar buff. In execute MT is vulnerable to it. Unstable void is growing AOE on your feet. When it reaches maximimum it explodes 1-shotting everyone in radius. When you get it you get away from group and call it out so DPS can shield up. During fight on each dark pad a orb will spawn and tether to boss.
It gives him damage resistance. If you are ordered to you might need to run there and pick it (getting cursed in result). Depending how long execute takes Hulk swapping might be still a thing. Listen to your off tank. Don't let him die alone :(.

13: Sunday, September 7 vs Phillies
It is not exactly a family secret, ladies and gentlemen, that the Mets who took up residence in Shea Stadium 44 years ago weren't worldbeaters. Their records in the Polo Grounds? 40 and 120, 51-111. The trend continued for the first two seasons at Shea: 53 and 109, 50 and 112. Saying the Mets finished tenth four straight years was a nice way of saying they couldn't finish twentieth. That is why as much as the fans were in love with their team, they also came out to admire some of the great stars the National League had to offer in those days.
Today we have one of the greatest with us. Simply put, he personifies pitching — inconceivably excellent pitching — for a generation of baseball fans and remains the standard by which every flamethrowing lefthander who comes along is evaluated. A native of Brooklyn and a good friend of the Mets organization every spring, please welcome back to Shea Stadium, Sandy Koufax.
Now, as happy as we are to have Sandy visit us today, we have to admit he is not here solely for his own accomplishments, as plentiful as they are. You see, Sandy inadvertently became a yardstick for measuring what, in retrospect, may have been the first significant leap of progress in Mets history. You might even call it the first Mets miracle.
Not that Sandy Koufax didn't pitch well against all comers, but he enjoyed an incredible hold over Mets hitters from 1962 on, racking up a 13-0 mark over his hometown team by the latter portion of their fourth season, a résumé that included his first no-hitter. The idea that a ragtag bunch like the Mets could ever defeat Koufax…well, that seemed impossible to Mets fans who could only dream of competing on anything approaching his level.
But the impossible turned actual on August 26, 1965 when Sandy Koufax was outlasted — it seems blasphemy to say outpitched — by another lefty, this one just shy of his 21st birthday. The southpaw the Mets sent to the Shea mound that Thursday had all of one major league victory to his credit, but his performance earned him another. The great Sandy Koufax and the eventual world champion Dodgers were beaten 5-2, the first loss ever taken against the heretofore hapless New York Mets by the indomitable immortal.
The winning pitcher? An up-and-comer named Frank Edwin "Tug" McGraw.
As you know, ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't the last time Tug McGraw would have something to do with miraculous events at Shea Stadium. Tug would eventually convert from starter to reliever, become one of the best in the National League at closing games and then, in the summer of 1973, begin spouting a phrase that helped inspire the Mets on an Amazin' journey from the bottom of their division to the top of the flagpole.
Nobody pitched like Tug McGraw did down the final weeks of 1973 and nobody ever believed the way he did…or made Mets fans believe so wholeheartedly that anything is possible.
No individual in the history of this franchise or this ballpark represents the spirit of the New York Mets like Tug McGraw. Nobody ever showed a love of life or baseball more in or out of a Mets uniform. To honor his memory today in our Countdown Like It Oughta Be, we ask his onetime opponent, Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, and his son, one of the most beloved recording stars in the music world, Tim McGraw, to take down number 13 for someone who brought this team better luck, greater hope and deeper faith than any Mets fan could have ever aspired to before he came along.
Number 14 was revealed here.

Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals: Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca
- #italian
- #main-dish
- #jamie-oliver
- #pasta
- #30-min-meals
- #chocolate
Serves: 4
- 500gdried spaghetti
- small cantuna in olive oil
- small tinanchovies in olive oil(approx 30g)
- 2 clovesgarlic
- 1 tbscapers, drained
- 1-2fresh red chillies
- 1 handfulpitted black olives
- 2 tinschopped tomatoes
- a pinchground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper
- 1 handfulfresh parsley
- 1lemon
Garlic Bread
- Ciabatta loaf
- small handfulfresh parsley
- 2-4cloves of garlic(to taste)
- Salt and pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 200gplain chocolate(min.70% cocoa solids)
- knobbutter
- 300mlsingle cream
- 3clementines
- a pinchsalt
- Biscuits for dipping
This dish was at the top of my "must cook" list from the 30 Minute Meals book, mainly because of the anchovies and olives. Sadly Colin wasn't quite as enthused (not sharing my appreciation of anchovies), but I decided to give it a go as I had all the ingredients and it was a great success. I've since cooked it three more times, finally deciding to give the 30 Minute Meal version a go (minus the salad).
As with all the dishes I've cooked that contain anchovies (Summer Veg Lasagne, Baked Cannelloni), there is no overwhelming taste of fishiness, however, if you'd prefer to omit the anchovies simply add a few more capers (baby capers if possible).
I make this dish with wholewheat spaghetti - I've tried other kinds of pasta but spaghetti works the best. I had a small aubergine in my fridge so I cubed it and added it to the sauce, which ended up being a lovely addition. Otherwise this dish is made from store cupboard ingredients; very convenient if you haven't been shopping in a while.
Jamie Oliver's version of the puttanesca contains some fresh ingredients like parsley and lemon but I've cooked the dish without them and it still tastes wonderful.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and boil the kettle. Place a large frying pan on a low heat and fill a saucepan with the boiled water and a pinch of salt.
- Slice the ciabatta bread three quarters deep, making cuts at 2cm intervals, and then finely chop the parsley. Scrunch up a large piece of greaseproof paper as you wet it under the tap, then open it up on a flat surface. Sprinkle the parsley over the top with a pinch of salt and pepper and then glug a generous drizzle of olive oil over it too. Crush 2-4 garlic cloves on top and then smear the mixture over the bread, making sure it gets inside all of the incisions. Finally, wrap the bread up in the greaseproof paper and put it into the oven to cook for around 20 minutes.
- Place a large heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan with the boiling water (making sure that the water doesn't touch the bowl). Break up the chocolate and place it in the bowl, along with the butter, cream, a pinch of salt and the grated zest of one clementine. Give everything a good stir and leave it to melt.
- Put the spaghetti into the saucepan and cook it according to the instructions on the packet. Pour the oil from the tuna into the frying pan and then crush the garlic, adding it to the frying pan along with the capers, anchovies and their oil (don't be alarmed if it looks like there is a lot of oil).
- Chop the chillis (seeds optional) and stalks from the parsley then add them to the frying pan. Chop the parsley leaves and put them to one side. Once the garlic starts to get a little colour add the tuna, breaking it up a little, then add the olives, tinned tomatoes, a pinch of cinnamon and some black pepper.
- The chocolate should have melted by now so remove it from the heat and give it a good stir. Decant the mixture into small pots or expresso cups, then halve the remaining clemetines and put them on a board along with the ganache. Take them to the dinner table then check on the bread.
- Once the pasta has cooked, drain it and reserve some of the water. Add the pasta to the frying pan, then squeeze over the juice of a lemon and add most of the parsley, mixing well. If the sauce feels very thick add some of the reserved spaghetti water to loosen it up. Pour the spaghetti into a large bowl and finish with the remaining parsley.
- Remove the bread from the oven and then take it to the table along with the spaghetti. Enjoy with a bottle of red wine.

Part of the "fun" of moving is deciding what will stay behind if you've installed items in your previous home. We made a last minute decision to leave the diaper sprayer and old Lofti behind, without thinking how this would change our wash routine!
We thought we could use the shower head in the bathroom to spray diapers in the short term, it worked, but was so messy! No spray collar, no easy on/off, and less than desirable pressure!
|Great for showers, not so great for spraying diapers.
The Lofti replaced a drying rack when I won it, so I pulled the rack out for the short term. Between that and the shower curtain rod, I can still air dry my covers, and I can even sun my diapers now!
|This is temporary!!
Fast forward to today.
After 2 weeks of using the shower head sprayer, we were fed up. My husband stopped at Home Depot on the way home and got a bidet sprayer. We were busy so he didn't install it last night, which gave me the opportunity to install my new sprayer!
|I can do this!
Believe it or not, it's super easy. It took less than 10 minutes, including taking pictures and kid wrangling! Just follow the instructions included with your sprayer.
|Done!! Now what else can I get done?

Eliminating Insomnia Permanently
by Dr. Bruce Goldberg
Two out of every ten women have trouble sleeping, as compared with only one out of every ten men. Also, people over age sixty are more prone to insomnia. When insomnia strikes, it will assume one of three different forms. The first: sleep-onset insomnia (type 1) is basically the inability to fall sleep. Sleep experts say you qualify for this category if it takes you over thirty minutes to doze off at night. The second is sleep-maintenance insomnia (type 2), meaning that you can get to sleep, but you cannot stay asleep. With this type of insomnia, you may wake up periodically during the night. Your wakeups may come hours apart or as frequently as every twenty seconds, depending on their cause. The third and most devastating type is early-morning awakening insomnia (type 3). With this kind you may find yourself alert and miserable at about four of five o'clock in the morning. Most often you cannot get back to sleep, and you may succumb to the "dark night of the soul" - hopelessness and depression - condition which sometimes accompanies this type of insomnia.
The key to the permanent elimination of insomnia is in our dream (REM) cycle. Each night, the total time spent in REM is about three hours, based on a total sleep time of about eight hours. This REM cycle is utilized by the patients to effect "energy cleansing." I train patients to access their superconscious mind. A patient with insomnia receives a separate insomnia tape with instructions to play it just prior to retiring. The REM "cleaning" initiated accounts for ninety-eight per cent of my patients' soul healing. In REM, there are no defense mechanisms to block the raising of this energy, and the patient enjoys the deepest level of trance humanly possible.
Dan, a very aggressive salesman, is married to a rather timid woman, Marie. When Dan came to my office for therapy his only stated problem was insomnia. He had had the same nightmare for nearly twenty years. It consisted of his being chased in the woods by wild animals and eventually being torn apart limb by limb by these beasts. Dan would wake up screaming in the middle of the night. This disturbing pattern persisted for twenty years.
The past life Dan lived occurred in the tenth century in Europe. He was a young boy living in the south of France, along the coast. One day Viking raiders plundered his village and kidnapped him along with dozens of other youths. The boys were taken back to Scandinavia by ship and trained to be warriors. At the time Dan was about eighteen, and he and his fellow captives decided to plan their escape. One night they overcame their guards and headed for the woods. Their plan was discovered and several wolves were turned loose on Dan and his comrades. Dan described the gruesome death scene. He screamed in trance in my therapy room, even though, of course, he was in no present danger.
Due more to the superconscious mind tap (cleansing) than the regression, Dan's nightmares finally ended. Marie was totally amazed. She had always known about and witnessed Dan's nightmares. For the first time in her life with Dan they could have peaceful night's rest.
My Dream Therapy training CD album is specifically designed to assist anyone in eliminating insomnia once and far all from their life. It is normal to occasionally have a disturbance in our sleep. Insomnia is defined as sleep disturbances three or more times a week. Self-hypnosis is the fastest, easiest and most successful approach I know of to end insomnia.

The Honest Co. first caught my attention while browsing through Target, where I remember seeing a big display dedicated to the brand's many products, including baby, bath, body, home, and more. It wasn't until I saw their a couple of products pop up at Costco that I first purchased, and I've since been trying out their Honest Sunscreen Lotion with SPF 30 and multipurpose Organic Healing Balm.
I've found both of these in 2-packs at Costco that cost $15, which really is a nice deal considering that they're regularly $13-14 alone, at least according to the official website. This brand really appeals to me because they focus on safe, simple formulations free of fragrances, dyes, questionable ingredients, and common allergens. I love the ingredients lists for these two products and see that the company also has a number certifications, including Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, USDA organic, and Green America Gold. They also boast seals of approval from parenting and child-centric organizations, and The Honest Co. marketing language focuses on safe products appropriate for the whole family and particularly for children under the age of 3.
The balm and sunblock came in very similar-looking cardboard 2-packs, and the tubes themselves are also identical, minus the printing.
The Honest Co. Honest Sunscreen Lotion with SPF 30 … regularly $13.95 for 3 oz.
Hypoallergenic, Non-Nano, Mineral-Based, Biodegradable, Reef-Friendly, Water Resistant (80 minutes), pH Balanced.
At least once a year I need to go out and purchase a sunscreen to use on my body, and I prefer to use natural lotions with mineral sunblock (zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide). These sorts of lotions tend to be pretty thick and moisturizing, and look a little white on skin (thus is the nature of the minerals). The thing I'm really loving about this Honest Co. lotion is that it feels lighter weight than I'm used to. It comes out of the tube really easily, seems to have an almost whipped kind of consistency, and it spreads on skin really nicely. It doesn't completely sink into skin and disappear, but I consider that to be par for the course with this kind of natural product. It feels like a hydrating lotion and it doesn't look terribly white on the skin, though it's not completely invisible if used liberally.
Just today I spotted Environmental Working Group's annual sunscreen report for 2015, and this one from Honest Co. made it onto their "best of" list. I'm not a completely all-natural consumer, but sunscreens are a category that I'm particularly careful of due to concerns about questionable chemicals and overstated SPF levels. I slather these on large areas of my body and want to receive a reliable level of protection from UVA and UVB rays. From the report: "Fully 80 percent of 1,700 products we examined this year offer inferior sun protection or contain worrisome ingredients like oxybenzone and vitamin A."
I like this one, and feel really good about using it, too.
Active Ingredient: Non-Nano Zinc Oxide 9.3%
Inactive Ingredients: Beeswax*, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Jojoba Esters, Methyl Dihydroabietate, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Silica, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Tocopherol
*Certified Organic Ingredient
The Honest Co. Organic Healing Balm … regularly $12.95 for 3 oz.
Hypoallergenic, Certified Organic, Plant & Botanical-Based, Vegetarian, Biodegradable, pH Balanced, Naturally Non-Toxic
After loving the Egyptian Magic oil-based balm as much as I had, I got a little excited when I spotted this Healing Balm at Costco. I regularly deal with tight, dry skin around my body as well as sensitive skin in areas like my hands, lips, and shoulders which are prone to flaking, peeling, and general unpleasantness. I don't mind using heavier, oily balms on these areas because my skin can be quite needy, but I still want to use a product with a pleasant texture. Straight-up coconut oil, for example, is not fun to use because it stays so greasy on my skin for so long.
The Organic Healing Balm has a pretty pleasant texture, I think. I've kept this in my purse at times for using periodically on my hands and lips, but the tube eventually found a home on my bedside table where I regularly reach for it right before I go to sleep. It's not too greasy and settles onto skin quickly, and it's able to spread over skin in a smooth, thin layer. In terms of moisture, I get the best results when I first apply a thinner hand cream or lip balm and then follow up with the healing balm, so that's been my go-to method when reaching for it before bed. Doing this has really gone a long way to healing my hands and lips, which have had a hard time recently.
I ended up giving away the second tube to a pregnant friend of mine because I noticed that many of its advertised uses involve babies. On the official website, it's actually listed under the "diapering" category! So, I wondered if she might find it handy. From the website: "Super versatile and helps sooth irritations associated with diaper rash, eczema, dry skin, and much more!"
Although I'd say I prefer Egyptian Magic, that one is also significantly more expensive – $30 for 4 oz. This one is under $15 for 3 oz. and has worked well for me, and it has an ingredients list that's just as attractive as Egyptian Magic. It does sometimes kind of separate in the tube, so most of the time I get a thick balm but every once in a while some thinner oil will come out. That doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't leak out of the closed lid or affect the utility of the product, which it doesn't. I'd say this is a good buy and is a handy, multipurpose product.
Ingredients: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Calophyllum Tacamahaca (Tamanu) Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract*, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Oil*, Tocopherol (Non-GMO)
*Certified Organic Ingredient
I'm definitely interested in trying other products from this brand. You can buy their products on The Honest Co. official website (they own honest.com – pretty classy) or at Target, and be sure to check out their store locator for other local shops that carry them.
Have you tried anything from the brand? Let me know if you have any favorite products!

By car
If you're coming from Amsterdam, take the A10 trunk road and then follow the N247 to Monnickendam and from there the N518 to Marken. You cannot park your car inside the village. The supervised car park at the entrance to the village costs 4 EUR per day plus 0.55 EUR extra per additional passenger.
By bike
A great way to get to Marken is by bike. There are many cycle routes that will take you there.
From Amsterdam Central Station it is only 21 KM.
By boat
From Volendam you can take the boat, the 'Volendam-Marken Express' will bring you in 30 minutes to Marken. The boat leaves once every 30 to 45 minutes.
One-way ticket 7.95 EUR, return ticket 9.95 EUR.
You can also take your own boat to Marken. The village has a small marina providing water, electricity and toilets, with a capacity of 33 boats.
If you have arrived at Marken by car, you automaticcaly end up in a big parking lot.
Marken is car-free to non-residents therefore you have to park in the main car park.
If you want to escape from the busy city or from the touristic places, 'Marken is the place to be'.
Of course you can stay as long as you like but it depends on what you are looking for.
Marken is a great place for hiking or biking and from Marken (when you sleep at Marken) you can get to Amsterdam or other great cities within 30 minutes.
We recommend you to stay at least 2,5 hours at this cosy Island, have a coffee, lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants at the harbour, visit the Wooden Shoe Factory, have your photo taken in traditional costume, visit the Marken Museum…. probably 2.5 hours is too short!
About Marken
When a dike between Marken and the mainland was built in 1957, Marken ceased to be an island. Nevertheless, the village still has the look and feel of a fishermen's town and an island. For over a century, it has drawn in visitors who wanted to have a glance at its traditional costumes and picturesque houses.
The Marken costume has found its origin in the fact that, ages ago, places like Marken, were not that often in contact with people from big cities. Therefore, the people from Marken did not know about the latest fashion updates. Because of this the Marken costume remained as the 'fashion standard' in Marken for quite a long time.
Since the costume is worn less and less, over 80% of the times you see a person in Marken costume, it is tourism related. However, it is certainly not extinct, there are still older people who are wearing the original traditional costume.
Marken has 1,830 inhabitants with a population density of 686 inhabitants per square kilometer. The 1,830 inhabitants comprise out of 915 men and 910 women. The age 45-64 years is most represented with 34%. 49% of the people are married. In addition, 5% percent of the population is divorced and 5% is widowed.

Oh em gee - the second season of Girls starts in January and I cannot wait! Do you watch the show? It quickly became one of my favorites a few months ago when I caught up on Season One in roughly one afternoon. This show is seriously spot on to the single, 20-something female experience these days - probably because it's written by the show's star Lena Dunham, who's refreshingly normal and super hilarious. If you don't watch yet, you need to!
Check out the Season Two trailer below.

Hellickson pitches Catfish to sweep
Loyola homers in support of Columbus right-hander
By Shane Figueroa / MLB.com | September 7, 2007 8:53 PM
Hellickson (1-0) yielded one run on four hits while striking out five. The 20-year-old right-hander nearly mirrored the pitching line from his July 25 start in Augusta, where he limited the GreenJackets to a run on three hits and two walks over six frames.
"I definitely didn't have my best stuff in the first few innings," admitted Hellickson, who was 13-3 with a 2.67 ERA during the regular season. "I wasn't getting ahead of any hitters and trying to nitpick too much. It seemed like most of my pitches were elevated."
Augusta took advantage and scored a run in the first. Emmanuel Burriss and Tyler Graham started the inning with singles and Burriss scored on on Brett Pill's groundout to third base.
The GreenJackets nearly added to their lead in the third after Joseph Dyche led off with a triple. Hellickson didn't buckle any further and escaped the jam with two ground-ball outs and a strikeout.
"I got a lot of help from my infielders in that inning," Hellickson said. "We brought our infield in halfway and [second baseman] Joey [Callender] made a great play on a tough hop for the first out. I finally got some bite on my curve to get a strikeout and another grounder to get out of it."
The Catfish finally broke through in the fifth, scoring seven runs with two outs. Quinn Stewart doubled and crossed home plate on Jairo De La Rosa's two-bagger. Maiko Loyola, who went 3-for-5, clubbed a two-run homer and Stewart capped the frame ripping a two-run triple over the head of Dyche in center field.
Hellickson retired six straight in his final two frames before Ryan Owen, Brian Baker and Neal Frontz provided three hitless innings to close out the win.
"I just started pounding the strike zone after we took the lead," Hellickson said. "My stuff was moving much better the more I threw. I got stronger late tonight."
Hellickson went 9-1 with a 2.70 ERA in the second half, including a span of six consecutive wins from July 19-Aug. 15. He didn't pitch past the sixth inning in any of those starts and attributes those wins to the Columbus 'pen.
"I have to give so much credit to our bullpen," he said. "They've protected a lead for me so many times this season. I haven't pitched deep into many games and left them with holes to fill. They always shut the door."
Augusta starter Benjamin Snyder (0-1) surrendered six runs -- three earned -- on seven hits while fanning four in 4 2/3 frames.
Columbus will play the winner of the West Virginia/Hickory series, beginning Monday.

A motorcycle frame jig is an instrument that holds the parts of the motorcycle frame in place. This device allows the motorcycle frame to be easily prepared for fitting and tack welding.
It can be bought from several motorcycle shops. Make sure to test the jig before you purchase it. Check if it is compatible with your motorcycle frame.
You can also create your own motorcycle frame jig.
- Prepare two pieces of five-inch steel mill channels. These serve as the foundation where the other parts of the frame jig will be attached to.
- Create the neck jig post by acquiring two plates. Clamp the plates to the five-inch channel. The neck jig post should be made of 1/8" thick steel tubing that measures 2"x 3". Doing these steps will make the neck adjustable in terms of its height.
- Take a ¾ inch rod on a pivot and use it to follow through the frame's neck.
- To create the axle post, you need 2 x 4 inches of ¼ steel tubing. Use ¾ inch axles to hold the axle plates. Shaft collars and spacers will keep the axles well in place.
- Get a ½-inch steel plate and a ½-inch square tube and weld the two together. This will let the plate move vertically for small adjustments and for leveling. Make sure that the axle posts can be moved in any direction.
- Take 1 1/4-inch steel stubbing and use it to set up the lower rails. Then take a 1 x 4 inch steel bar that will serve as your engine bar.
- Once you have assembled all the above components, use a threaded rod to pass through the channels. To keep the bolt in place, you can use an angle and nut. Take the engine plate and secure it to the structure using set screws on each of the engine plate's corners.

Dog Training at Meadowlake Pet Resort & Training Center
Meadowlake Pet Resort & Training Center's dog training programs are designed to enhance the relationship between you and your pet.
You can choose from a wide selection of professional dog training programs tailored to your needs. Our dog trainers use proven and positive systems that are customized for each dog based on their breed, AKC group and personality, as well as your goals and budget.
Our system is designed to achieve three things:
- Teach dogs to obey verbal commands through a positive approach.
- Teach how to maintain a dog's positive behaviors, and even improve them over time.
- Ensure that the training "sticks" through ongoing support and coaching.
Meadowlake has successfully trained thousands of dogs and have the highest training success rate in the Pearland area, and among the top in the Greater Houston area. Our ongoing support is what makes Meadowlake's dog training so successful and so highly recommended by our clients. Private lessons with our trainers, phone support and ongoing training classes, mean that the training you receive at Meadowlake will benefit you and your pet for a lifetime!

Join us for FREE
The first step to begin the training process for any of our professional dog training programs, is to sign up for a FREE Training Orientation. Training orientations allow you the opportunity to meet our Professional Dog Trainers and for them to meet you and your dog. During the orientation you will get an in-depth discussion of our training theory, a training demonstration, a tour of Meadowlake, a discussion of all of our training programs and pricing and an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the training process.
What's the Benefit?
There are many benefits to attending one of our FREE professional dog Training Orientations. First, you will walk away with real dog training knowledge that can be put into place immediately, whether you purchase a training package or not. You will get to see the level of passion and dedication our trainers put into their craft. Our Trainers will teach you why your pet does what he/she does and what it will take to instill the positive behaviors and confidence all pet owners seek from their pets.
How do we Choose?
Choosing your dog's Trainer is a major decision and should be treated as such. Programs must be matched to each dog and family based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, breed, age, past training history, budget and most importantly the behavioral goals of the family. Meadowlake Pet Resort & Training Center is dedicated to providing a large variety of options to fit all of the needs mentioned above.
What's the Cost?
Our professional training programs start as low as only $125 and include options such as private lessons, our most popular and highly recommended lodge and learns and even in home lessons. Sign up for a FREE Training Orientation today to get started!
What about after training is complete?
Training should continue throughout a dog's life; just like humans our canine companions need refreshers for the commands and behaviors they have learned. Our Post Graduate class is a VIP class offered exclusively to dogs that have graduated from one of our Lodge & Learn programs. These classes allow pet parents an amazing opportunity to continue learning from our award winning training team long after their pet's training here is complete. Additional commands are taught, initial commands are perfected and all of this is done with very high levels of distractions to perfect each behavior. This is a drop in class available every Saturday.
What Clients Have Said
"I took my 8 month old french bulldog here to go through some basic training. The week long camp worked like a charm! The exit training helped me understand some things I was doing wrong and how I should alter them to gain his respect and trust. The staff adored him as much as I do and upon bringing him home I knew it was the best decision I could have made. He and I are both much happier and better behaved after the training. I also loved that they were extra cautious with any special requests I may have had and they give you lifetime support with some of the packages. That type of security in the quality of training gave me the peace of mind I needed to leave my little man there for an entire week. It was well worth the time without him and the money."

Everyone at Meadowlake went above and beyond through Hurricane Harvey. We had our pup, Roux, boarding for a 30 day training when Harvey decided to come through. They assured us over and over that their facility was safe & had a backup generator, that training would continue as normal, and they even called us several times with updates. They had at least 15 staff stay throughout the whole storm with all the boarders. When we arrived on day 30 of the training and went through the handoff training session, I was blown away. Both Lisa & Chris did awesome training our pup! We've been home for a couple of hours and Roux has been responding wonderfully to us. Hands down would recommend this place for training, boarding and doggie daycare.
- Susan W. (Roux's Mom)
We just had our poodle mix, Beau trained at Meadow Lake and we love the results. I told my husband I was expecting a miracle and we got one. Prior to training, Beau was aggressive to other dogs and strangers when on lease. With their 10 day training program, he is now calm and behaves appropriately when in public and around other dogs. We can take him anywhere now and not be fearful of his behavior. It is like we have a new dog. Thank you Lisa and Chris. I give an A plus review to all the staff. Thank for a wonderful experience.
- Helen P. (Beau's Mom)
We've put 3 of our dogs through their 15 day training program. It it worth worth every penny! The training is a starting point and allows us to build a stronger relationship with our furbabies. It makes us comfortable knowing we can take our XL Pit Bulls out in public without having them jump all over people ... we get endless comments of how well-mannered they are. Thank you Meadowlake Pet Resort!
- Suzanne B.

A Ballymena teen is supporting National Volunteers' Week by dispelling the myth that volunteering is 'just for older people'.
To mark the start of Volunteers' Week, local 16-year-old Jordan Law is encouraging other young people across Northern Ireland to get involved with volunteering over the summer holidays following his own experience of supporting the community through Northern Ireland National Citizen Service (NI NCS) last summer.
The call marks the start of Volunteers' Week, an annual event that celebrates the contribution made by millions of volunteers across the UK, which runs until 12 June. Jordan is joining thousands of others across the country who are encouraging others to participate in a variety of volunteering opportunities.
The Ballymena teen wants his fellow peers to remember that anyone can volunteer, no matter what age and is hoping his own experience of supporting the community will encourage other young people to get involved.
Despite initially being apprehensive about the benefits of volunteering, Jordan loved creating his own social action project which involved raising awareness of mental health support within the Ballymena area and developing a peer education video to encourage his peers to seek help and talk about their feelings.
He says: "I've learnt whether you are young or old, big or small you can definitely help in some way."
NI NCS is open to all NI 15-17 year olds. It is a unique two or three week full-time programme with participants volunteering at least 30 hours to a community project they create to address an issue important to them. To find out more visit cooperationireland.org

'Attacking fellow unionists is not a trait that sits well with any unionist politician', said DUP MLA Carla Lockhart in response to fellow unionist Julie Flaherty's criticism of the DUP for failing to turn up at a recent health board meeting.
Mrs Lockhart went on to criticise Cllr Flaherty accusing her of being 'fixated on my activity locally'. She said: "It would seem she is frustrated with my suggestions around tangible ways to help local communities, businesses and constituents. If I could give one piece of advice to Julie it would be to work with fellow unionists in a bid to highlight the very real reason the Health Service is struggling.
"My party leader has outlined the DUP position, she is actively seeking to have the institutions restored. I have a proven track record of delivery. I would suggest Julie vents her frustration towards her leader and suggests the need for unity. I think Cllr Flaherty would need to question why her party failed to take the hard decisions because she will be aware that her party walked away from the Executive. The fact remains that the money has been secured as a result of our influence at Westminster. "
