When I hopped in my car yesterday to pick up the kids from school, I couldn't believe the temperature said 103 degrees. I know it's October, but isn't it time for us to be feeling fall-like temperatures?
The local meteorologist explained the rest of the week's forecast would include high temps as well. I knew what that meant. My kids would be inside trying to cool off after school.
With my air conditioner running so much, I knew I needed to find some energy efficiency tips. October just happens to be Energy Action Month. So, I'm ready to take action and share the scoop with you from Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) on how we become energy efficient, cut costs and control our energy usage.
FPL Energy Saving Tips
Get the scoop on these energy saving tips.
- Limit the time you run your pool pump. During the summer months run your pump six hours a day and winter months for four hours a day.
- Cool your home at 78 degrees or higher with the thermostat fan switched to auto. For additional savings, raise your thermostat to 82 degrees or higher when you're away.
- Reduce your water heater temperature from 140 degrees to 120 degrees, which is the recommended temperature setting according to the U.S. Department of Energy, to save about $2 a month.
- Clean or replace the A/C filter regularly to help your unit run more efficiently and trim cooling costs.
- Turn off your ceiling fan when you leave the room. A fan that runs all the time costs up to $7 a month.
- Replace old, high-flow showerheads with water-efficient showerheads and save up to $80 a year.
- Adjust the water level on your washing machine to match the load size, especially when using hot water. Always use a cold rinse.
- Clean the lint filter in your dryer before every load to dry your clothes faster.
- Use the auto sensor function on your dryer to conserve energy by not over-drying your clothes.
FPL Mobile App
The mobile app is a great way to monitor your usage. It can help you take control of your energy usage and bill from your smartphone.
Check out these amazing features:
- Monitor your energy usage – Compare your energy usage across three months or a full year, including average temperature data, so you see how weather impacts your bill

Sunday's Scripture ~ Luke 19:28-40
Tuskawilla's Youth Director – Shrell – and I grew up in the same youth group. We served on the youth council and shared leadership roles among our peers. We led our share of crazy skits and sang in the youth praise band together. One of the songs that we sang with regularity was Ain't No Rock.
That word ain't spoke directly to the heart of this Polk County girl.
The song sings,
Ain't no rock gonna cry in my place. As long as I'm alive I'll glorify God's holy name!
Sing! Praise God's holy name! As long as I'm alive I'll glorify God's holy name!
And then the song continues, Ain't no tree gonna wave its branches and Ain't no bird gonna flap its feathers.
(Shrell and I would be happy to show off our fantastic dance moves that accompany this song upon request.)
As I reflect on singing this song as a youth, I admit that I was "going through the motions" of those dance moves rather than paying attention to what I was singing. I sang the song but I do not think I fully let the meaning of the song resonate in my heart and then pour out of the actions in my life.
Psalm 148 captures all of creation singing God's praise. The praises progress from creation following closely the order of God's creative activity in Genesis 1. Praises ring from the heavens, the celestial bodies, the meterological phenomenons, and the animals that fly, swim, creep, and roam. All of creation praises our God before the psalmist acknowledges that humanity joins the choir. So rocks and trees and birds…they are indeed capable of glorifying God's holy name if we – if humanity – remains silent. Rocks and all of creation praise God in our place.
The psalmist invites humanity to join the hymn singing, "Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and women alike, old and young together! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his glory is above earth and heaven. He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his faithful, for the people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord" (Ps 148:11-14)! We join the praise and the hymn ends. I do not think humanity completes the hymn, but I do believe that God is pleased when we make our offering of praise with the totality of creation in worship of our God. It is our choice to join the song; God will not force us. And if we do not join the song, our God will still be praised.
Desiring a greater intention of praising God rather than just " going through the motions" this week I commit to turning my attention to when and how I offer my praise to God. What are my current circumstances? Am I at peace with these circumstances or wanting a change? How am I feeling? How would prefer to feel? What is God offering me in this moment? How could I show appreciation for that gift? God hears creation's praise; it is unending. I want God to hear mine, too.
Prayer: "I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life, and thought, and being last, or immortality endures. Happy are they whose hopes rely on Israel's God, who made the sky and earth and seas, with all their train; whose truth forever stands seure, who saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor, for none shall find God's promise vain. The Lord pours eyesight on the blind; the Lord supports the fainting mind and sends the laboring conscience peace. God helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner sweet release. I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life, and thought, and being last, or immortality endures."* Amen.
*"I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath," The United Methodist Hymnal 60.

My opinions on matters of the day that, generally, have pissed me off. Being described as a 'Surly Curmudgeon', by those who meet me on a good day, I have a poor regard for the human species. This is my place for my free speech- not bloody yours. Crap under your own rock.

One of those ideas that passes by...
It makes sense when you think about it. I mean- it's all about public safety and please think about the poor children!
I did like the idea in one of Terry Pratchat's books- where all politicans were presumed guilty, so they were locked up as soon as they were elected- saved time!

As I've mentioned too many times before, I don't get much of a chance to go out and see films when they're first released. I wish I did, but that's the way it goes.
But I do try to make time to do so and, once in a while, actually manage to see a film while it is in theaters. So it was with the latest Mission: Impossible film, Fallout, released last Friday. Here's the movie's trailer:
I'm a fan of the Mission: Impossible films, though I would quickly state that they haven't all been winners. Starting with film #4 in the series (Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol) the last three of the six so far released have have developed a certain style and have been successful following that style, and this extends to the latest film in this series.
Having said that…
Sometimes I feel like I'm "that guy", the one who reacts negatively to things when everyone else views them as positive. Likewise, there are times I'm positive about things when everyone else is negative. I am that fool that really liked Batman v Superman when so many dismissed the film as dark and dull. I'm the guy who didn't like Guardians of the Galaxy when everyone seemed to go ape… uh… crap over it.
And here I am telling you Mission: Impossible – Fallout is a very well made action/adventure film… that in the end left me wanting more.
Let me explain:
The movie presents us with nothing we haven't seen before. Yes, the movie moves and most of the stunt work is extremely well done. And you once again have to give credit to Mr. Cruise for pushing the boundaries and doing some really crazy stuff on his own.
But the film offers a muddy story which doesn't really surprise you all that much (if you can't figure out who the bad guy is, you simply haven't seen many films). We have ancillary characters doing odd things to keep the story going, and the bad guys are presented as being unbelievably knowledgeable about everything going on and manipulate everyone so well yet of course manage to fail in the end.
Look, this is a good film. A pretty great, in fact, summer popcorn film. You will be entertained and there isn't anything presented here that will make you groan of feel like the movie's makers really screwed up.
However, this is not "game changer". Rather, it is the third film in a row of well done Mission: Impossible films and, alas, not much more than that.
And that, to me, is a shame. Perhaps I was hoping the movie's makers would push the envelope more than they did.
Still, don't get me wrong: It's a good film and worth seeing. Just don't go into this expecting anything vastly superior to the two MI films that came before it.

Online Poker Variations and Terms
Online casino games are played for fun and sometimes to earn some amount of money with betting. They gained popularity as they can be played throughout the day and night, whenever the player have leisure time and from the comfort of their home. Online poker is the most liked and played online casino games among all, as they are the game of cards for hardcore players as well as general public. The poker game also evolving in time by changing the few rules and various versions to customize according to player. Online poker is not just a game of chance like other casino games, but is a combination of skills and strategy. There are several poker variants exists and certain standards for poker games to play such as: details about number of betting rounds, hand values used, what actions are taken in between rounds and what cards are dealt with. Players get bonuses, deposits and withdrawals, in poker online pulsa once they are registered with the website. There are different types of online poker games that includes: Texas hold'em, Omaha High, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven-card stud, HORSE, five card draw and razz. Some websites provides other customized online poker games to increase traffic to their websites.
Types of Variants
Some players like to hold on to only one game while others play different poker variants. Most Poker variants that are spread in online poker are divided in to three categories: Stud Poker, Draw Poker, and Community Card Poker. In Stud Poker, players get both face up and face down cards, with multiple rounds of betting that takes place. Five-card Stud and Seven-card stud games are this type of variants. Five card draw is an example for Draw Poker, in which players receive a full hand, face down cards and may also discard and redraw a set of cards. Omaha and Texas Hold'em fall under Community Card Poker category, where players combine shared cards that are faced-up and certain number of cards that are faced-down to make best possible poker hand.

Poker Terms for Beginners
Every beginner wishes to win the game, and they are expected to know few rules and terminology used in online poker. Players should get familiar with few commonly used terms in poker games. This helps them play with ease without confusing when they get to hear those words. Some of those terms includes: Ante, Check, Call, Blinds, Raise, Bluff, Chip, Full house, Jackpot, Joker and many more. Ante, means minimum amount you bet to get into action of the game, while if the player do not want to raise the bet, then it is called as Check. When a new bet is placed with a matching raised amount from a player is Call and if the player wishes to increase the bet amount, then it is called as Raise.
Chip is a small tablet or disc used instead of real money, while Blinds indicates a chip put on the table bet before cards are dealt. A hand with two cards of a second rank and three cards of one rank is Full House, while, Bluff is a bet raised inorder to win in disguise and to make money. Jackpot is the house collects large amount of money or rewarded for a rare occurrence. Joker indicates the 53rd card, mostly used as ace. Just getting familiar with these terms are not enough to play poker. Any aspiring player must improve two important skills; to learn to read opponent next move and keep your hand a secret accordingly, with an expressionless face.

Spoiler warning: these reviews reveal plot twists.
A crack team of commandos are sent into the jungle to rescue a captured diplomat. But they encounter a ruthless alien, who starts to pick them off for sport…
The cast: As a film-obsessed child I had an enormous man-crush on Arnold Schwarzenegger; or rather the films he made. Here he plays Major Alan 'Dutch' Schaefer, the cigar-chomping leader of the special-forces team. Because it's an 80s Arnie flick Dutch has a couple of James Bond-style puns, but they don't fit the film's tone at all. It's not one of Arnie's best performances. Much better is former Rocky star Carl Weathers as George Dillon: the only character with any kind of complexity, he lies to the others then realises he's fucked up. The rest of the team are played by Bill Duke (decent), Jesse Ventura (barely an actor), Sonny Landham (who was such a fruit-loop the producers insisted on a minder to keep him in check), Richard Chaves and Shane Black. Black is an interesting piece of casting. He's a really good screenwriter (Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero, Iron Man 3 and others) and was given the minor role of Hawkins so he could be on set to do any last-minute rewrites. Given that he's not an actor, he's actually okay. Hawkins's character trait is that he tells bad jokes. Incidentally, two of the cast feature in other 1980s Schwarzenegger films: Duke had been in 1985's Commando; Ventura was in 1987's The Running Man. Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally cast as the predator, but looked weedy next to Schwarzenegger, Weathers and the others so was replaced by seven-foot-two Kevin Peter Hall. Elpidia Carrillo plays Anna Gonsalves, an underwritten woman the team rescue from the bad guys. At the end of the film there's a credits sequence where the actors smile at camera in time with their names appearing. I'm going to assume that the idea was stolen from Hi-De-Hi.
The best bit: The most successful aspects of the film are the visual effects used for the predator's POV shots and for when it's 'cloaked'. The former is a thermal-vision image where heat shows up against the blurry background, while the latter has the creature only visible as a see-through shimmer.
Crossover: Watching the Predator and Alien movies at the same time is an idea based on the later films featuring both monsters. However, the two series share a connection at this point too. Unhappy with the original creature design, McTiernan hired visual-effects guru Stan Winston to come up with a new predator. Winston doodled his initial ideas while on a flight with his friend James Cameron, who'd just directed Aliens. Glancing at the drawing, Cameron suggested that Winston add mandibles – hence the predator's distinctive multi-jaw face, which in no way reminds me of a vagina.
Review: There's a scene about halfway through where the characters know the predator is nearby so all fire their guns into the jungle. Despite a deafening hail of bullets, they hit nothing but foliage. Director John McTiernan has said that this was a joke on his part. A satire of brainless, gung-ho action films. The characters have all this hardware, he chuckles on the DVD commentary, yet are ultimately impotent. Well, he's being extremely disingenuous. Earlier in the film, an attack on a terrorist compound is staged and shot like a music video. There's a pornographic excitement about guns, bullets, deaths, muscle-bound men and explosions. The notion that any irony is on show is funny in itself. (Admittedly, the film does have some spoofy moments: surely it's a joke when Dillon's arm is ripped off but keeps firing the gun it's holding.) The bad guys in that compound, by the way, are from some unspecified Central American country and are barely seen let alone fleshed out. They're just A-Team villains, there to be killed by the untouchable heroes in slow motion. God, I sound like an old fart moaning about violence. I actually love action films and have no problem with violent stories. But there has to be more class to them than this. This movie doesn't seem too concerned with plot or characterisation. The only woman in the story, for example, is an embarrassment. Anna Gonsalves has no dialogue in English until nearly an hour in, does nothing but provide exposition, then is absent from the climax. In its favour, the film can be seen as some kind of Apocalypse Now in reverse. The characters' journey 'upriver' only takes up the first half-hour of the story – it's then about them trying to escape. On that level, the story works well and is tense and exciting. It takes the predator a while to show up, but it's clear he's not just a mindless killer. For him, this is a game. The film then becomes obsessed with the rituals of hunting. The predator refuses to attack the unarmed Anna; Bill Duke's Eliot superstitiously scrapes his bald head with a razor; Dutch has slashes of camouflage make-up that make him look like some kind of New Romantic tribal leader, then in the final act he improvises a series of traps. Not as smart as it thinks it is, but still enjoyable enough hokum.
Seven pussies out of 10
Next time: The predator takes LA…

Indians' Carrasco looking for groove against Mariners
Carlos Carrasco hasn't gotten off to a good start this season.
Literally and figuratively.
The right-hander, who went 18-6 and 17-10 over the past two seasons for the Cleveland Indians, has allowed six runs in two of his three starts this year.
After being knocked out in the first inning of an 8-1 loss in Kansas City last Friday, Carrasco is 1-2 with an unsightly 12.60 ERA.
Carrasco will look to get back on track Wednesday afternoon in Seattle, when he faces Mariners right-hander Erik Swanson (0-0, 9.00), who will be making his first major league start. Carrasco is 4-3 with a 4.10 ERA in eight career appearances against Seattle, including seven starts.
"It's really hard, man, when you don't have your stuff like the first game, now," Carrasco told MLB.com. "I cannot do that, like go back and forth. You know, have one game, good game, bad game, good game, bad game. I cannot do that. ... Nothing was there (Friday). I'm glad everything is good and I'm healthy, but I couldn't find myself."
Carrasco went just two-thirds of an inning in that outing. He faced nine Royals batters, giving up a single, triple, homer, walk, single, single, sacrifice fly, strikeout and double.
"To be honest with you, nothing was there," Carrasco said. "My command, my velo(city), nothing was there."
That was against a Kansas City team that was on a 10-game losing streak.
"I mean (catcher) Roberto (Perez) even mentioned, 'I couldn't get him to throw with conviction,' " Indians manager Terry Francona said. "Because when he does, the break on his slider's great and it's good. He's got one of the better fastballs. Again, it's not Carlos-like and it put us behind the eight ball."
Carrasco's fastball averaged 91.5 mph, down from 93.7 in his first two starts, but the 32-year-old insisted he's healthy.
"To be honest, in the bullpen I thought he was going to have a great day," Perez told MLB.com. "But once he got on the bump in the game it was a different Carlos. Like I said, he just didn't look like Carlos. He lost it. ... He'll be back. We're going to figure it out."
Carrasco will face a Mariners team that returned home with a 13-2 record before losing the first five games of its six-game homestand, including a 4-2 defeat to the Indians on Tuesday night.
After scoring five or more runs in 15 of their first 16 games, the Mariners have totaled just nine runs in their past four losses.
"I don't think anyone expected that we would score seven or eight runs per game," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "You've got to tighten up the defense and throw strikes out of the bullpen and make pitches to hold teams right there to give our offense a chance to get going, and we haven't done it. We haven't been able to do it here on this homestand."
Jay Bruce went deep in the eighth inning Tuesday to give the Mariners home runs in each of their first 20 games to start this season, a major league record.

The latest iteration of the Air Jordan line is here. Here's a first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 32… with Nike's FastFit technology.
"This year's game shoe, the AJ XXXIII, is the first basketball shoe to feature FastFit technology, which provides ultimate lockdown to prepare athletes for flight," says Michael Jordan. "From day one, we've taken pride in the Air Jordan game shoe, where we focus on athlete insights and the latest innovations to create silhouettes that are distinctly Jordan. That balance also allows the game shoe to continually revolutionize both in sport and style."
The new Jordan 33 progresses the legacy of visible AIR technology seen throughout the Air Jordan line dating back to the 1980s. FastFit offers up a new system for containment on the court.
Here's how it works:
1. Loops on the tongue and heel allow easier entry
2. The tightening system activates its cables with a single tug of the forefoot strap, creating a full 360-lockdown
3. Eject by pulling the side loops to release the cables
As with previous Jordan models post the AJ3, the AJ33 features subtle design cues from the past. The window to the tightening system mimics the original Air window, and the use of "Nike Air" on the heel tab is a reflection of the III, IV, V and VI. There's also an extra-large tongue that features the Jumpman logo — which on the AJ3.
The AJ33 also sports Jordan Brand's Flight Speed technology (now made with the same carbon plate approach as the Nike Zoom VaporFly 4%) and the Nike Zoom Air unit.
The Air Jordan 33 drops Oct. 18th online and at select retailers worldwide.

Ugandan Shilling Gains as Central Bank Sells 'Sizeable' Amount of Dollars
By Fred Ojambo | Bloomberg ~ Uganda's shilling gained for a second day as the central bank continued to sell dollars in the domestic foreign-exchange market to curb volatility.
The currency of Africa's second-biggest coffee producer climbed 1.5 percent to 2,552.50 per dollar by 2:15 p.m. in the capital, Kampala, taking its increase since yesterday to 4.8 percent, the biggest two-day advance since February 2006. The shilling is the second-best performer worldwide against the dollar, after the Mozambican metical, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The Bank of Uganda sold a "sizeable" amount of dollars today, Stephen Kaboyo, director of financial markets at the central bank, said in a phone interview. "We are in the market basically still to deal with the speculative tendencies."
The central bank has sold dollars in the domestic foreign- exchange market at least four times since June 15 as the currency weakened to its lowest level since June 1993. Inflation in the East African country has accelerated to a 17-year high of 16 percent in May, before slowing to 15.8 percent last month.
Governor Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile said last month the central bank "shall not hesitate" to stem speculative trading in the currency. The central bank's foreign reserves currently stand at 5.62 trillion shillings ($2.17 billion), according to the bank's website.
Today's dollar sales by the bank helped the currency firm, said Benon Okwenje, a trader at Stanbic Uganda Ltd.
"We have come down slightly," he said. "The spreads are still wide," indicating continuing volatility, he said.
Uganda, East Africa's third-biggest economy, is scheduled to become an oil producer next year when Tullow Oil Plc (TLW) is expected to start pumping crude and gas from the Lake Albert Basin. The country has an estimated 2.5 billion barrels of oil, with about 1 billion barrels in proven reserves, according to Tullow.

There are many options for adopting a baby into your loving family in Ohio. Adoption through a public agency will cost less than a private adoption, but private agencies generally work more quickly. Make sure that you meet all of the requirements so that the adoption process is successful!
Part 1 of 4:
Choosing an Adoption Agency or Facilitator
Part 1 of 4:
1Find an agency on the Public Children Services Association of Ohio website. Access a listing of public child services agencies in Ohio online. This list contains web addresses and contact information for each agency. It also includes the names of the agencies' directors and their direct email addresses.
- Visit the Public Children Services Association of Ohio (PCSAO) website at http://www.pcsao.org/membership/agency-directory to access the list.
2Contact a local agency to inquire about adoption. Phone or email the public adoption agency nearest to you to inquire about their adoption process. Ask if infants are frequently available for adoption. In some cases this may be rare, so it is best to inquire upfront if you want to adopt a baby.[1] X Research source
3Hire a private adoption agency if you can't find a baby through a public agency. Private adoption agencies match prospective parents with birth parents who wish to give their child up for adoption. These agencies will handle the surrender and placement of children for varying fees. Private agencies make the adoption process simpler but are much more expensive than public adoption agencies.[2] X Research source
4Handle an independent adoption through a private attorney. If you reach an agreement with a birth mother to adopt her baby, the arrangement must be handled in front of a judge. Hire a private attorney to help you through this process. The attorney can oversee the signing of paperwork and ensure that the agreement is entirely legal and binding.[3] X Research source
- To find an attorney near you, visit the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys website at http://www.adoptionattorneys.org/aaaa/home.
Part 2 of 4:
Applying and Meeting the Requirements
Part 2 of 4:
1Fill out an application form. Each adoption agency will have a specific form for you to fill out and submit. You will have to provide information about your marital status, financial standing, and family background. You will also be asked to provide a description of the child you seek to adopt, which generally means stating what age you wish the child to be.[4] X Research source
- Adoption is open to single, married, and divorced candidates.
2Complete adoption training to be approved as a potential adoptive parent. In Ohio, all public and private agencies require prospective adoptive parents to complete training that covers child development, behavioural issues, separation anxiety, and other important topics. This training is usually offered for free and must be completed before an application can be approved. To sign up for these courses, visit the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program's website at http://adoptionphotolistingohio.org/adoption_process.php. [5] X Research source
- This requirement may be waived if the agent reviewing your application determines that you are already qualified to be a responsible parent.
- Adoption training is not required for private adoptions.
3Submit to a home study, background check, and health evaluation. Put your best foot forward during the home study portion of the adoption process, where a caseworker will be assigned to you to assess in person if you are fit to adopt a child. Prepare yourself for several interviews, a home inspection, background check, and health evaluation. Cooperate with the agent during this assessment period to make a good impression.[6] X Research source
- The specific requirements of the home study will vary depending on the agency.
Part 3 of 4:
Bringing Home a Baby
Part 3 of 4:
1Be patient while your caseworker works to match you with a baby. There is usually a longer waiting period to adopt a baby than to adopt a grown child. Anticipate this delay and stay patient and optimistic in the meantime. When your caseworker finds a baby available for adoption, they will review information about the child with you to see if the infant is the right for your family.[7] X Research source
- The child's medical history, including potential illnesses or handicaps, will be a big factor in determining if you are prepared to adopt them. Parents adopting children with special needs must be ready to accept the extra challenges that will come with caring for them.
2Arrange to meet the infant. If you are adopting through a public agency, talk to your caseworker about setting up your initial meeting with the baby. If you are adopting privately or independently, work out a meeting with the private agency or birth mother. The location, duration, and other details of the encounter will depend on the circumstances of your unique adoption situation.[8] X Research source
3Bring home the baby. Once you decide to adopt the baby, you will be able to bring them home. Be prepared with all the things you will need to transport and care for the baby, such as a car seat, crib, clothing, bottles, pacifiers, food, and toys. Make sure to take enough time off work and from other commitments to be as close to your new baby as possible during this important bonding time.[9] X Research source
- In cases where an adoption is arranged before the baby's birth, you may bring home your baby the first time you meet them.
4Prepare for follow up visits from your caseworker for up to 6 months. One you bring the baby home, your caseworker will continue to check in on you periodically to see if the placement is working out. This can occur anytime in the 6 month period after you first bring the child home. This is how long you will have to wait before legally finalizing the adoption.[10] X Research source
- This does not apply for independent adoptions.
5Set aside $3,000 for expenses in a private or independent adoption. Whether you carry out a private adoption through an agency or private attorney, you will have to cover the birth mother's living expenses during her pregnancy and 60 days following childbirth. These expenses, which can cost up to $3,000 by law, can include rent, mortgage payments, food, and personal care items. The money must be paid through your attorney or the adoption agency, and not directly to the birth mother.[11] X Research source
- This cost will not apply when adopting a baby through a public adoption agency.
Part 4 of 4:
Legalizing the Adoption
Part 4 of 4:
1File a petition for adoption with the court. Whether you do a private or public adoption, you will have to petition the court to finalize the process. A judge will have to approve the petition before the adoption can proceed. The petition to adopt a child should include:[12] X Research source
- the name your baby will be given if the petition is accepted
- basic information about you and the baby
- information about everyone living in your household
- the baby's original birth certificate, if you have it
2Attend the adoption hearing. Once the judge approves your petition, they will schedule the adoption hearing to be held in court. During the hearing the judge will assess whether all of the adoption procedures have been followed correctly. If the judge approves, they will enter the adoption decree right away.[13] X Research source
3Replace the baby's birth certificate. Once the adoption is finalized, the baby's original birth certificate will be sealed. A new birth certificate will be issued that reflects you as the baby's parent. Replace any copies of the original document with the new one.[14] X Research source

Dubai's residential market to soften further, says expert
DUBAI, October 9, 2019
Sales prices in Dubai are expected to continue to soften for the remainder of the year, by up to 5% in some instances, while rental rate declines appear to be slowing with decreases of just 1% witnessed during the third quarter, according to leading real estate services firm, Chestertons.
Continued pressure on Dubai's residential prices and rates has been a result of oversupply, with an anticipated 50,000 new units expected to be delivered in 2019, a 150% increase on 2018 where supply topped just 20,000 residential units, said Chestertons in its latest research 'Observer: Dubai Market Report Q3 2019."
Nick Witty, the managing director, Chestertons Mena, said: "As we anticipated, there were further sales price declines in Q3 for both apartments and villas due to excess supply and muted economic growth. The rental market proved to be more resilient however, with a marked slowdown in the rate of decline."
"We anticipate the 10-year residency visa, the economic stimulus package and perhaps, more importantly, the introduction of the new Real Estate Committee, which has the mandate to boost demand and control supply, contributing to a more favourable outlook in Q1 2020," remarked Witty.
In the sales market, average villa prices were down 3% in Q3 while apartment prices witnessed a 4% decline from the previous quarter.
In the villa market, the Meadows and Springs were resilient with no change and remained at Dh850 per sqft, while Palm Jumeirah softened by 2% to Dh1,927 per sqft. Arabian Ranches witnessed the highest decline in Q3 at 5%, with rates now at Dh793 per sqft.
Prices at The Lakes and Jumeirah Park both declined by 3% to Dh1,010 per sqft and Dh804 per sqft respectively.
"The supply of brand-new properties, with their wealth of amenities, has resulted in older communities bearing the brunt with prices being lowered to compete for and attract end-users," said Witty.
In the apartment sales market Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Dubailand, Dubai Sports City and International City all witnessed very little change, declining just 1% compared to the previous quarter at Dh1,000 per sqft, Dh1,391 per sqft, Dh700 per sqft, Dh703 per sqft, and Dh478 per sqft, said the report by Chestertons.
In contrast, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai Motor City saw the greatest declines of 12% to Dh612 per sqft and 10% to Dh 630 per sqft respectively, it stated.
Dubai Marina and the Greens, typically two of the best performing communities, both had more pronounced declines of 6% to Dh 1,030 per sqft and Dh849 per sqft respectively, a direct result of the current supply and demand equilibrium, it added.
In Dubai's rental market, rates continued to soften in Q3, however the rate of decline has slowed with average villa and apartment rates softening by just 1%.
This could indicate the rental market is beginning to recover, which could be accentuated further by the three-year rental freeze currently being explored by the Dubai Land Department.
Several apartment communities in Q3 had no movement in rental rates including Business Bay, Discovery Gardens, Dubai Silicon Oasis, JVC and Motor City with a two-bedroom apartment in each community renting for Dh100,000, Dh75,000, Dh60,000, Dh73,000, and Dh90,000 per annum respectively, said the report.
The Views witnessed the largest decline in Q3 with an average 5% decrease with the studio format experiencing the most pronounced drop of 8% and now available for Dh55,000 per annum.
DIFC and The Greens saw rental decreases of 2% with a one-bedroom in DIFC available for Dh95,000 denoting an 8% decrease, while a studio in the Greens is currently renting for Dh50,000, a 9% Q-on-Q decrease.
"The decrease in rental prices in smaller units, in some locations, is indicative of tenants moving to larger properties that have become more affordable. This has resulted in landlords of smaller units reducing their rates to be more attractive to prospective tenants," remarked Witty.
In the villa rental market, Arabian Ranches, The Springs, The Meadows, The Lakes, Al Furjan and Jumeirah Islands saw no rate change from the previous quarter, an indication rental rates in these locations have bottomed out, particularly when considering Jumeirah Islands, the Meadows, and Arabian Ranches, all witnessed declines of 11% in Q2.
The biggest villa rental decreases were felt in JVT and Victory Heights with an average Q-on-Q decline of 3% with a three-bedroom available for Dh112,500 and Dh130,000 respectively, said the real estate expert in its report.
The volume of off-plan transactions rose by 45% and the value for the same category increased by 46% to Dh10.48 billion – suggesting positive signs of recovery, however, this could be attributed to developers registering units on mass as they near handover in Q3, it added.-TradeArabia News Service

I guess it's time I stop lurking and start participating. Half a year ago, I seriously needed to get my act together and my life in order. I've been using the covey system and it has helped a lot, but I wish I had found this site a lot sooner. My covey planner works well for me, but thanks to this site, I realized how much I can customize my system, especially with hPDA cards. I also found out how people use those moleskines. Most importantly, this site got me really interested in journaling, which seems like something that will help me greatly.
What are some other good journal websites? Not just "how to's" and prompts, but also product reviews and cost saving tips? I posted on the notebook section about this, but has anyone have any experience with M by Staples journal and notebook paper?
Also, the pictures of people's kit inspired me to create my own. I'll post what I've come up with when it's all together.

The recently reported Lifesavers Supper held at the Fish Factory restaurant in Littlehampton was a great success. The event was organised by the Littlehampton RNLI fundraising team led by chairman Malcolm Somner and arose from the generosity of Andy Sparsis, of the Proto Restaurant Group, which owns the Fish Factory.
Around 90 customers paid £20 each to enjoy champagne and canapes upon their arrival, followed by a sumptuous fish supper. During the evening, entertainment was provided by a three piece band, and an auction was held with generous bids made for an array of goods and services donated by of local businesses.
Around £2,800 was raised from ticket sales, the auction and raffle, which when supplemented by the revenue from RNLI Christmas cards sold at the restaurant during the previous couple of weeks, topped £3,500.

I had few moments of introspection recently, taking stock of my life, my needs and my desires. This morning the thought popped into my head, "I am a 19 year old carefree, friendly, helpful man living the life of a mid 40's father and provider".
Are either of these facets the real me or both, should the stay apart or become one?
I don't know the answer and my journey continues, I will keep you posted.
P.S. I don't feel in crisis 😉

...heck, truth be told, if they retconned it to that tomorrow, you'd not hear a single complaint from me.

Well, they're not really scars either. Being a machine, repairing those comes easy. What's more, each incarnation of his body has had them shaped and colored differently. Symbolic warpaint based on former damages, that seems to be the likeliest scenario.
That said, I've a certain fondness for Iwamoto's rendition. In that one, Sigma burned those marks into own skin upon announcing his rebellion. Impossible to jibe with MHX, but epic stuff nonetheless.

There has been some speculation about what Porsche will launch next now that the all-electric Taycan has been unveiled. Rumors have circulated that the automaker will show up with an electrified Boxster and Cayman that are reportedly set to launch around 2023.
New details on the two EVs include a 400-horsepower powertrain system driven by dual electric motors, Car Magazine reported. The Boxster and Cayman will also reportedly be available with rear- or all-wheel drive as well as a hybrid option that will coexist with the fully-electric versions.
The two electric vehicles are also thought to be the first recipients of the Sports Car Platform Electric (SPE) modular electric vehicle platform , as Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said in March that a dedicated EV platform would be necessary for the Boxster and Cayman, Motor Authority reported.
This is not the first electrified Boxster model for Porsche as the company launched the Boxster E in 2011 as a research vehicle that developed 240 horsepower and had a 29-kWh battery pack, the news outlet said.

Delhi: In the wake of information revealed by David Coleman Headley, India may provide fresh dossier to Pakistan regarding 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
As per a report in NDTV, the information revealed by Headley ablout planning and execution of the terror attacks may be assembled into a new dossier of evidence.
This may be handed over to Pakistan, the report quoted sources in the Home Ministry as saying on Monday.
In the first case of deposition via video link from foreign land, Pakistani-American terrorist Headley today told a court about how Lashkar-e-Taiba had planned and executed the 26/11 attacks and the role played by ISI officials, involving him too.
Headley, an LeT operative who is currently serving 35-year prison sentence in the US for his role in the Mumbai attacks, detailed the sequence of events leading up to the November 26, 2008 assault as he deposed before Special Judge GA Sanap for nearly five-and-a-half-hours.
He spoke about his training by LeT in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Abbottabad near Islamabad under the guidance of LeT founder "Hafiz Saeed sahab", whose picture he identified in the court, as also its commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, and how he got in touch with three officers of Pakistan's ISI — Major Ali and Major Iqbal and Major Abdul Rehman Pasha, as per PTI.
Headley told the court that he had changed his name from the original Dawood Gilani after instructions from the LeT commanders, including Lakhvi, and ISI officials to carry out recce in India for an attack, an "adventurous" task for him.
He also revealed that the 10 terrorists, who struck at various places in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 killing 166 people, had planned to carry out the attack twice earlier – in September and October – but they attempts failed.
Once their boat hit a rock in the seas, because of which they lost all the arms and ammunition and had to go back to Pakistan.
"I used to treat India as my enemy. Hafiz Saeed and LeT operative Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi also saw India as their enemy," Headley told the Special Judge during his first deposition in an Indian court which began at 7 AM.
He also admitted during his examination in chief by special prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam that he joined the ranks of LeT after getting "influenced and motivated" by the speeches of "Hafiz Saeed Sahab".
Headley, who described himself as a "true follower of LeT, said he took his first "course" with them in 2002 at Muzaffarabad and had also attended a 'leadership course' which was led by Saeed and Lakhvi. He said he underwent 5-6 training courses in LeT camps for about two years.
"Daura-e-sufa is a study course and is held in Muridke in Lahore while 'Daura-e-aam' is a preliminary military training course held in Muzaffarabad in 'Azad Kashmir' (PoK)," Headley said.
In 'Daura-e-Khas, which is a more advanced training, he was taught to handle weapons, arms, explosives and ammunition, the LeT operative said.
He said he was also given 'Daura-e-Ribat' training, an intelligence course in which setting up of safe houses and reconnaissance are taught.
The centre where it is taught is in Mansera, 40 miles from Abbottabad, a place in Pakistan where former Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed by the US.

"Bramasole" the home of the American author Frances Mayes and her husband Ed. I read Under the Tuscan Sun when it first came out, and on this trip I am reading Bella Tuscany. We stopped to photograph the home when a nice American lady came out the gate and greeted us saying she is not Francis, she is Ed's sister. Of course the ladies wanted to have their photo taken with her and she agreed. We had a nice visit with her before we went on to our painting location.
Below is a photo of Cortona from above the Portal Montania (Mountain Gate) the upper most gate in the city wall.
And more photos taken inside the city walls.
This photo is suppose to make me look tall! That is a real door I am standing next to. I wonder how tall the people were that lived here 400 plus plus years ago?
It was a great day for painting, sunny with clouds rolling by and perfect temperatures. Right after we got back to our hotel the clouds stopped rolling by and drenched the town in a thunderstorm.
The food here is incredibly good, and Patrick and Angela our making sure we get our fill and then some! Good thing we are walking up and down hills all day or we won't fit into our clothes when we leave.

Subaru holds Outback pricing
Jun 28, 2018
The updated Subaru Outback Lineartronic 2.5i is going on sale for the 182-plate change with its prices held at those of the outgoing diesel model - meaning the Japanese crossover estate will start from €46,995 on these shores.
Revised and available in SE (€46,995) or SE Premium (€49,995) grades, the 2018 Outback has had 'a significant upgrade in technology and trim,' according to its maker.
Starting on the exterior, there's a redesigned hexagonal radiator grille with Subaru's 'wing' aesthetic, plus modifications to the headlights, bumper and door mirrors. There's also a new bit of equipment incorporated into the Outback's nose, which is the front-view camera - it's now below the marque's Pleiades constellation logo. This camera monitors a 180-degree area in front of the car that would normally be in the driver's blind spot, with the results displayed on the Subaru's in-cabin touchscreen.
Further safety equipment comes in the form of a side-view camera at the base of the passenger door mirror, Lane Keep Assist (bolstering the existing EyeSight drive assistance technology suite) and Steering-Responsive Headlights.
Inside, the Outback receives new decorative gloss-black panels and silver surrounds to improve the interior ambience, while the touchscreen grows in size from seven to eight inches. Under the bonnet, a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre 'boxer' four-cylinder petrol engine is employed, which is installed low down and further back than a conventional 'upright' engine to give the Subaru a lower centre-of-gravity and increased passenger safety; in the event of a front-end accident, it is designed to submarine beneath the passenger compartment. The 2.5-litre 'FB25' engine delivers 175hp at 5,800rpm and 235Nm at 4,000rpm.

Over the years, Safer Internet Centres have developed various educational resources aimed at helping teachers, parents and carers, and children and young people, to discover the online word safely. Now you can access all of these resources in just one place via this resource gallery.

Bibi story book 4: Bibi at the animal party. Respect is important – online, too!
"Discover the digital world with Bibi" is an awareness concept for 4-6 years old children, consisting of a website and a series of story books. It features Bibi, a bee child and his friends who go through adventures with their computers and other digital devices. The very young ones can join the group on their pedagogically developed website with games, audio stories to listen to and fun handicraft ideas. The side effect of learning how to safely behave in the online world comes as a convenient bonus. 'Bibi at the animal party. Respect is important – online, too' shows that dialogue is the best way to reduce prejudices against others. The story also teaches us that we can only share a picture of another person online if we have their permission to do so.

This one was easy. This is one of my favorite seemingly random signs here in Ghana.
Weekly Photo Challenge
Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity
I'm working on catching up here. These are all from the Chale Wote Festival here in Accra a few weeks ago. I did some editing on my iPad using Snapseed for this one.
This is one of my new favorites. He was really thinking about it as he looked out over this neighborhood.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Adventure
Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouettes
A couple from the catalogue. I like this challenge though. Hope to see what I can create this week.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Textures
Missed a couple of weeks here I think thanks to come lengthy travel and deadjustment from summer break. Good to be home and back in the groove.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin
Weekly Photo Challenge: Containers
Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts
It strikes me as I write this, just how much contrast these two pictures carry on their own. Two completely different worlds that I seem to live somewhere in between.
The first is the view outside my hotel room in Miami where I am for professional development this week. I thought the on coming storm in the sky, the white buildings and the green course provided a great example of contrast.
This second picture was taken in Peki, Ghana. There are so many ideas of contrast within this pic to me. I love the collision of cultures here. The differences but in the end the similarity of kids playing games.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Between
I hope I'll get a couple more posts for this one. I like this idea. For now though, here's one from our recent stop in London. I thought this was a great shot of my little family walking between the trains.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra, Extra
This photo might be lacking in quality, but I thought it fit the topic. I spent the last two hours of a flight from Istanbul to Accra throwing up in the bathroom. My daughter had also thrown up in her seat next to this man who instead of becoming upset, constantly checked on her and let her lie in his lap and sleep. Definitely a little extra love from a stranger.

It was a bit too windy this week to safely be out in the woods, so we went for a wonderful wet welly walk around the school grounds instead! And what fun we all had…look at what we got up to… (click the photos to enlarge)
Poplars had another busy morning out in the woods today! Whilst the last four children took their turn learning how to build and light a fire, the rest of the class enjoyed learning more about Vikings. They looked at and dug for Viking coins, worked on making King Alfred The Great crowns and made their own Viking paint using berries.
Another chilly day today, but (with a few extra layers on) it didn't stop us having a marvellous time in Forest School. Oaks children found a great way to keep warm…they pulled a big barrel onto the path and worked together to roll it from one end of our site to the other. They problem solved along the way, working out how to move it when it got stuck, finding lots of different uses for it like laying over it and rolling from one side to the other and standing it upright and using it to make (very loud!) music. And in true Forest School style, we saw great team work too-and lots of helping and supporting one another.
Also this morning…Oaks were busy with ropes, raking, trying out new ways of using the swing, climbing, playing with wood discs, building towers…and a spot of Bollywood dancing and music making in the mud kitchen!
This afternoon, Firs had lots of Autumn fun climbing the leaf hill! They sat, lay and rolled in the leaves and really enjoyed throwing them up into the air.
The children kept active on the ropes, balancing on logs and along the digging pit, climbing, using the balance beams and making cup of forest tea in the mud kitchen!
Another lovely morning for the fabulous Poplars, despite the chilly weather. We wrapped up really well and set off to create some Viking
LongTallhouses!! First of all, we listened to a safety talk and learnt how to carefully drag the long sticks and how to place them, after checking our friends weren't in the way.
There was a lot of thought put into the dens, and super teamwork too.
Some groups worked on houses for themselves, whilst others made homes for their animals. They thought about how to keep their animals safe-and added fencing to keep the foxes out!
Once the dens were built, some of the children became Viking farmers. They searched in the digging pit, and dug up some carrots!
Whilst this small group took their turn this week to learn how to build and light a fire. They practised using the fire striker, lit small individual 'fairy fires', then worked together to collect sticks and make a bigger group fire…
There was so much going on in Forest School today!
Autumn leaf threading…making and painting with mud, hide and seek, sorting and counting with natural objects, finding and careful handling of worms, woodlice and milipedes, weighing, digging, climbing…and as always- lots of investiagtion and exploration and appreciation of our lovely site.
Today, Poplars started their half-term of outdoor learning and Forest School. They were very excited to be out in the woods!
This small group spent the morning learning how to set and light a fire. They practised using a fire striker, then helped to collect different thicknesses of sticks, before independently lighting it (under the watchful eye of Mrs Smith) and working together to add sticks to the fire.
Once we stopped adding sticks, we watched as the fire died down, discussing the changing colours and watching the embers turn into ash. The children noticed that the embers were still very warm, so helped to put out the fire safely.
Elsewhere in the woods, the rest of Poplars were having a marvellous time learning about Viking longboats. They worked in teams to make their own longships, complete with a mast, a sail, a dragon head at the front (prow) of the ship and oars to row. They even made a plank for naughty Vikings to walk off! Once they'd finished, they took turns to raid the other team's ship and steal their treasure!
What a great morning! We talked about what had made us proud, what we had enjoyed and what we'd like to do next week. We're all looking forward to our next Forest School adventure…
What an exciting time Oaks and Firs had in Forest School today! We really enjoyed exploring lots of different mini-beasts. We used magnifying glasses and magnifying pots, to look closely at them and to see how they moved. We matched the pictures to the different creatures, learning to repeat the names of each one.
Elsewhere in the woods…quiet contemplation, and an unusual visitor!
During our morning session, it started to rain…and rain! And in true Forest School style, it didn't stop us having fun…in fact it made it more fun! Oaks loved walking through and splashing in the puddles…
Two of our children were determined to experience the rain in their own way! Not all of us shared their enthusiasm…but this pair LOVED standing under the dripping tarp, and laughed continually as they played!
Firs had a drier afternoon…and as well as the mini-beast exploration, also enjoyed lots of different activities.

We were only going to spend a night here and move on, but the Carnival started the next afternoon, so we stuck around. Jim and Linda from Chesapeake and Jason and Karen off of YOLO sitting on some shady concrete stairs, our viewing station for the parade. It started at 1PM, no 2PM, no 3PM.... it was a long hot wait
It was hot and these guys were only half dressed in their costumes.
And just a few blocks away, you find these kinds of homes.
A cruise ship at the Roseau dock with a rainbow above it the day we left for Portsmouth. This was the view from our anchor spot.
Jim and Linda headed to Guadeloupe the day after the barbecue but we stuck around for another few days and did some shopping and relaxed and got some time on the free wifi there. The number of yachts in the anchorage grew as the following week was Yachtie Appreciation Week here.
Most of the bay had mooring balls put out by the PAYS group, but we anchored in front of this rusting hulk. It had been driven ashore recently in a storm and dragged off and anchored here while the owner looked for help for funding its repairs. My guess is that it will never leave.
