I'm a bit late to the party on this one, as the Photomarathon was over two weeks ago, but I wanted to record my first attempt at a proper photography challenge. Having admired the results of previous Photomarathons on Emma's lovely blog, and having tried unsuccessfully to enter last year (boy, those 400 spaces fill up quickly: don't hang about, prospective 2014 marathoners!), I was pretty amazed that, this year, I not only managed to bag a place in the challenge, but also to take the requisite twelve photos in twelve hours. All this with a husband and toddler in tow, and with a minimum of fuss: there was only one very small tantrum from Eoin (who was tired) somewhere around photo number ten, and one from me (final photo: my plan to hang out under the pier and take cool perspective shots was scuppered by the fecking tide coming in).
I have no illusions about my chances: I've seen the winning photos for the last few years, and they're all excellent. Also, I realised a few days after the challenge (why do I always suffer from this sort of esprit de l'escalier?) that all the highly-rated entries had a common theme linking all twelve photos, and weren't just a series of random pictures of stuff in their house, their toddler, or, in one case, a seriously creepy plastic Krusty the Klown (coulrophobes, beware).
For what it's worth, though, here are my entries: the gallery format crops them a bit, so click to embiggen if you'd like to see the whole entry.
For "A bit on the side", I really have Eoin to thank: I was going to take a pedestrian-enough picture of a piece of cake perched on a saucer next to a cup of coffee, so we all trolled off to Barker, and Stephen and Eoin waited at a table while I queued up to get the goods. As I was doing so, I glanced out of the window, and spotted two ladies in orange Photomarathon wristbands taking – you've guessed it – exactly the same picture. Returning disconsolately to the table, and entirely out of ideas, I decided to take the photo anyway. After all, I could always delete it if something better came along. Eoin, however, had clocked the slice of millionaire's shortbread: he persistently photobombed my every attempt to take the darned picture, desperate to get at the cake which, for some inexplicable reason, I was photographing while he was trying to get down to the serious business of eating it. In the end, I gave up: you can probably see the teethmarks in the chocolate in this picture (it was several tries in), but at least there's some humour instead of a just boring old shot of a cake on a saucer.
Incidentally, that's a proper Vesper Martini in the penultimate shot, and, if you're reading this Paul, yes, that is one of the cocktail glasses you gave us! I did not get to drink it, though: Stephen polished it off while I was on the seafront, swearing impotently at the incoming tide, and desperately trying to think of an alternative subject for "A different perspective". Mind you, he did make me another one when I got home from dropping my entries off, proudly clutching my certificate of completion. I suspect that a rather lovely cocktail will be my only prize in the Photomarathon, but it was great fun nonetheless: I can't wait to try again next year.

Utilities industry bets on smart grid data analytics
The global utility and energy industry is betting on smart grid deployment and is planning to invest significantly on smart grid data analytics and other areas of IT in the coming years. The industry's revenue in the IT segment had grown by 23 percent, to $9.4 billion, in 2012, up from $7.7 billion in 2011, according to Pike Research.
The research revealed that even though utilities is in its early stages of transformation, the segment is gearing up for the next level of growth. Energy and utility companies are planning, implementing and evaluating smart grid technologies and associated enterprise processes to modernize their operational and information systems. As a result they will invest more on technologies that provides data analyses for smart grid, such as smart meters, advanced meter infrastructure, and distribution automation to better understand their customers and serve them better.
Utility companies are seeing much benefit in smart grid analytics deployment. Researchers point out that smart grids have the ability to manage new renewable energy sources, better interconnections between power networks, as well as greater visibility and control over energy usage at the consumer level. "Investment in smart grid technologies is used address transmission losses, load management issues, and malfunction of distribution and transmission substations. The smart grid system helps in automating the demand management system, reduce energy usage during peak hours, and improve fault detection processes," says Surupa Mahto, Analyst - Energy & Sustainability Technology at Ovum.
Mahto believes that these functions result in a data deluge that must be analyzed and acted upon. The volume of data is expected to grow manifold over time. Utilities should solve data collection and storage challenges and learn how to analyze and act on new forms of information to realize the ROI on their smart grid investments.
The Pike research notes that the worldwide market for smart grid data analytics is expected to grow steadily through 2020, with cumulative worldwide spending from 2012 through 2020 totaling just over $34 billion. The bulk of this spending will occur in Asia Pacific, where the annual IT spending will continue to rise and is expected to surpass $2.5 billion by 2020
The software and IT services that are likely to be deployed by utility includes, grid communications networks, grid input and output software and services, meter data management and advanced data analytics. Besides, many companies will invest in alternative energy like wind and solar and other forms of energy efficiency technologies and power systems, the report observes.
According to technology evangelist and professor in Electrical Engineering at IIT Chennai, Ashok Jhunjhunwala, in the emerging countries, the government as well as industries is looking at renewable and alternative energy. Many are testing new business models, such as solar panels on customer rooftops and electric vehicle charging stations in public garages. These technologies will pay off in the long run, generating a bright future for the industry.
Jhunjhunwala believes that the utility industry will continue to look at technological advancements and innovative business models in the coming months.

It's time for another challenge at Aud Sentiments and this week we are sponsored by Squigglefly.
Squigglefly has a variety of artists sure to please just about any crafter so check them out when you get a chance.
The theme this week at Aud Sentiments is "Love" – just make sure that somewhere on you submission we see the word "Love".
I was given this delightful image by Michelle Bertuzzi to work with. Not only does this stamps come with the umbrella stamp but also the sentiment I used on the card face and the sentiment I used for the inside of the card which reads, "Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold. – Zelda Fitzgerald".
I thought this image would make for the perfect anniversary card and used a classic romantic color scheme; pink, red, gray with a touch of black.
I colored the image using copic markers and then topped each heart with Crystal Accents.
The DP is from Treehouse Designs, Inc and Masterpiece Studios.
I added a few rhinestones to the ribbon to give the card just a little extra bling – after all Valentine's Day is all about the sparkle and shine.
I hope I've inspired you to join us for our challenge at Aud Sentiments – I can't wait to see your creations!

This blog, that blog. Here a blog, there a blog everywhere a blog, blog!
Something about that 15 minutes, 15 seconds, 15 words of fame starting to erode the layers of the Internet. Everyone has something to say and they are doing it on blogs as diverse as it can go. Core ISPs like MSN,Yahoo, and the like are all getting on the bandwagon of yet another monetizing scheme. But, what makes a blog more interesting than another? Why would somebody want to read what I have to say?
Has anyone noticed when a big news article hits the 'net that almost any blogger worth their weight in salt jumps on it and gives some kind of opinion about the event simply based on the original article found on the 'net ? I think it starting to look like all opinions and no facts such as being at the event.
So why am I ranting on here? There can only be so much content on a subject and then it becomes nothing more than dribble and droll. So what you say? I therefore issue a challenge that we start providing eyewitness accounts of what is going on around your local 'sphere of influence' .
While I did not take this picture, I can report that this morning I saw a very large herd of pronghorn antelope in the fields south of where I live standing and grazing for the migration south for the winter. I wish I had a camera for this but, as usual, I didn't.
We also have several Swainson's Hawks in a nearby area that are also feeding for the long winter trip to Argentina. We are very fortunate to have the volunteers at the Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center working with these wonderful birds of prey. We are currently helping with gathering 'roadkilled' critters like rabbits for food for these and many other birds found at the center.
So are you willing to come up with local events that happen around you without relying on others providing the info?

This morning (actually Thu morning), I got up with a vengence to transfer my high-interest card to 0% for 6 mos. I had two "preapproved" offers. Once I filled out the website form, I got a confirmation page saying that they'll let me know in 30 days! 30 Days?!?!?! I have a bill of $390 due tomorrow! I thought it was going to be paid off. So, I'm not sure what to do. I think I should put the minimum onto another card – which I have thankfully at 0% for 6mos.
I told my wife to find out her balances and APRs and told her to call and tell them that she got offers. She got 3 of her interest rates down from 22% to 17%. At first, she was kinda sheepish when calling them, I told her that she's doing them a favor by keeping the account with them. Just say that you have better offers. Instantly, the customer service operators switched it down.
She's really good about doing what I recommend. However, I need to listen to myself more. She has been doing the 10% savings ever since I told her to last year and has now saved up about $2.5K. Me on the other hand saw my 2K depleated mysteriously. I live like a miser (which I'm getting sick of). I have holes in the crotch of all my pants – actually only have 3 pairs total.
So tomorrow, I'm going to try and build out a site and see if I can make google adsense work for me based on this 'get rich quick scheme' (which I totally don't buy into). I figure if I make a fraction of what she claims to make, it's still passive income. However, I'm also trying to make some money before the end of the month to pay rent. Not sure how I do it as I have $300 in my account and need another $450 for rent. My tenent from my condo moved out so, that's going to delay any funds coming in for a few weeks, possibly. So, I'm preparing for the worst. Been on craigslist and actorsaccess, but paid gigs are few this time of year.
Also, I posted this response to Greengirl' who's an actor unlike the others on the site who are pulling in 100K or so on mymoneyblog.com when I was trying to figure out if I should pay down my credit cards or to keep funding my Roth-IRA:
I've been doing the actingfilmmaking thing for about 7 years now. I didn't care at all about my finances til last year when I got married (to an actress as well). We're both determined to NOT get a 'real job' and keep at our dreams.
The main thing I learned in this past year was to concentrate on getting my FICO score up to get my debt down. I managed to go from a 630 to a 725 in one year. Now, I have all these 0% credit card offers to which I'm transferring my high interest rates – some as high as 30%.
Also you gotta keep your eye on the 'passive income' like your website (read Rich Dad Poor Dad if you haven't already).
Last year I worked on over 35 passion projects (indies, student films, etc) which won many awards at festivals, but didn't pay a dime – actually I lost money if you count the gas involved. This year I was determined to only get paid acting gigs, but didn't enjoy them as much even though I made about $3.4K in acting – which I thought would've been impossible a year ago. FYI: The average SAG actor in LA makes about $6K/yr through acting. So having passive income from another source will let me choose passion over trying to get a gig just because it pays, but which I can't stand.
I've been living on $1200/mo for everything. I'm usually in the hole by a 100 or 200, so I totally understand what you mean about Roth and 401K as not even being an option. So at the end of almost every month, I'm kinda scrambling for background work or something to the like. On paper, I look like crap, but in reality, I'm more stable than some guy who's been at a job for 30 years is about to get laid off.
I got my savings account up to about $2K by just saving 10% of everything I brought in even if it was a $10 gas money from a student film. However, it went away b/c of medical bills (no health insurance previously, but got it now). I fell off the horse, but I'm determined to get back on.
The main reason I read this whole thing to the end was the debate b/w Roth funding or debt payment. I think I'd go towards clearing the debt til I become a financial chess-master like Jonathan. I'd rather write a screenplay than jump my credit cards around – even though I have autopayment now for the credit cards, I still miss something now and then and can lose the low APR. If I get rid of it and don't accrue more (I only put $150 this year on credit. Everything else was paid in cash (aka debit card).
After 7 years, I'm kinda getting tired of the starving artist thing, but am determined to be financially smarter yet not get a day-job. I've been getting into real estate as well (flexible enough to make every audition). The main reason is that my parents are getting older and I want to see them and not have lame excuses like I don't have enough money to fly out there.
Good luck, or um , break a leg. Keep me posted.

"You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards." — Brian Tracy, Author
The other day I wrote a little about not setting expectations so high that you burn out or burn out those around you. And here we have Brian Tracy saying we can become even more excellent by constantly setting higher and higher standards, in effect constantly raising the bar. While it is true that we can attain ever higher levels of achievement this way, we must be careful to set that higher standard in such a way that is an attainable stretch, rather than an out of our capabilities de-motivator. This is a skill that can be obtained with practice.
I think another thing to be aware of is that we can gradually approach a point of diminishing returns. Is the effort reuired to gain that extra 1% improvement worth it? Of course this is a question you have to ask and answer of yourself. No one can answer it for you.

The question of the hour is: would you ever really want to know what someone else is thinking? Sure, it would be helpful at certain times, but for the most part, I'm pretty sure my popularity score would go waaay down. In my line of work, I am forced to lie all the time. If my co-workers knew my thoughts, I'd have to carry a big stick to work. Everyone lies (thanks House) but knowing what the guy on the treadmill next to me is REALLY thinking about my ass, could upset me.
Reading minds would really be helpful when it comes to Dr. Big. Dr. Big has some emotional/verbal disabilities. He is super sweet, but he is physically unable to vocalize his emotions. Now, I am not a big "feelings" person either. I get more emotional over a tv show than I do over situations in the 3-D world. I'm not big into sharing and doing some of the crazy girl crap that you see in movies (I'm looking at you, Katherine Hiegl.) However, you do reach a certain point in a relationship that certain things should be discussed. He is not capable of having those discussions, so this is where the mind-reading thing would come in hand. I would need 10 minutes. 10 seems like a good number. Of course, I would have to spend at least 6 of those 10 minutes sifting through the sports facts, boobs, sex and Halo game rules. 4 minutes would be all I'd need to know his inner-workings.
On the other hand, there are certain people I can read like a book- no mind reading necessary. My mom and I are pretty much on the same page. We don't even need to talk. A look will suffice. I also have a handful of close friends that I can do that with also. But every once in awhile, you have to tell a white lie. No one can get around it. If you can tell me about someone who never lies, I have some ocean front property to sell you.
Bottom line is that even though I would love to know what certain people are thinking at certain times, its probably better for my ego if I don't know. Perhaps it is all for the best to be left in the dark.

Okay, so I've done this twice.
Take One
Take Two
I'm going to do it a little differently this time.
The premise...
Ten things I wish I could say to ten different people. (but don't say their name)
For each one, I'm going to see if I remember who it was about and, if I can, give an anonymous update about him or her. Huzzah, reflexivity.
Take One... (May 27, 2009)
10. I'm pretty certain I'm going to miss you more than you're going to miss me.
9. Thanks for showing me what is least important.
8. You used to be really cool. You always used to say you were unchanged, but
trust me, you've changed. If I see you this summer, it's going to be weird.
7. Did you feel it, too?
6. You have no idea. None. Your sister sees it more than you do. lol.
5. I know you want to pursue your dreams, so do it. And I will want to follow you.
4. WHY did you reject my friend request? I thought we were good? What's up?!
3. Your hypocritical, neo-con, holier-than-thou attitude is NOT okay. Okay?
2. Grow up, please.
1. I don't know what the problem is, but you need to work it out before the individuals
around you begin to be negatively affected by the underlying, secret conflict. Okay?
10. With how you don't even talk to me ever, you definitely don't miss me at all. I hope you do miss me and just won't talk to me. That would be fitting.
9. (Uh, I have a guess…) Way to not text me back for three days. That's completely okay. Just kidding. If and when you want to talk to me, go for it. I won't hold my breath.
8. (Not sure who this was about, but I have a guess…) We don't talk anymore.
7. I still want to know if you felt it, but I'll never ask you. It's no longer important.
6. I miss you and you are my favorite. It'd be awesome if we'd be able to share an apartment someday.
5. You still have your dreams, but you're not pursuing them as far as I can tell. And lots of people are judging you for that, but I won't. I promise. If you're happy, oh well if you've lost your ambition.
4. (I don't know who this is…)
3. (I also don't know who this was about, but it still stands, always.)
2. ("…")
1. I would say the exact same thing, only I can't, because I'm no longer a neutral party. The whole thing is ridiculous and stupid and I don't want to care, but I barely can do so, but I don't and AUGH.
Take Two... (October 15, 2009)
10. Thanks for showing me that I am capable of getting over it with closure. ...and
thanks for making me more bitter and cynical about things... not.
9. I am so entirely at peace with it, but I kind of really tend to get jealous over you.
But maybe I just don't want you to lead anyone on. Yeah, let's go with that.
8. I do not like you anymore, at all, but I don't know how to convince you of this
without sounding like a cold-hearted meanie.
7. Thank you so much for establishing camaraderie with me. It means more than
you'll ever know and I'm sad that you'll be gone next year.
6. I thought we were going to try talking again... where are you?
5. It's kind of funny to think about how complete opposite our friendship has become
over the past four years or so. Even to the extent of non-existence. Um, not fun.
4. I miss you, but I don't think that really bothers you.
3. Hey, you guys, you need to get over this.
2. I like to watch you dance in front of me.
1. I saw that.
10. I asked you straight out, either yes or no or tell me to shut it. You never replied, so my heart takes that as an unspoken "Shut it" coupled with a very adamant "No." The other day, I thought of something you said early-on that argues that you must be lying. Perhaps you're just very confused. Oh well. Good luck with your girlfriend.
9. (I though I knew who this was, but then I read 8 and realized I was mistaken… I don't know who this is about.)
8. I very much do not like you anymore. Again, I won't hold my breath.
7. (This applies to two people…) I miss you SO much and I am SO glad we still keep in touch fairly well. So many things are not the same without you. I miss seeing you on a regular basis. Never lose touch, please; always remember me. I'll remember you.
6. I'm really, really proud of you.
5. (Not sure who this is about, either. Apparently it's no longer important…)
4. How many girls have you treated the same way you treated me?
3. HEY, YOU GUYS, YOU NEED TO GET OVER THIS. There is a young life at stake. I hope you breed resiliency.
2. We have so much to catch up on, but apparently, not enough for me to sacrifice a bit.
1. This year isn't the same without you, but I'm glad you're still around. You are an entertaining individual.
Well, that wasn't nearly as fun as I expected it to be. It's interesting to see what I do and do not remember. But not really. And I'm gonna waste some more time, so I'm going to do the entire thing again. It's been a year. Might as well. If you'd like to compare this to the two previous times, see the link at the top of this post.
Take Three…
Ten things I wish I could say to ten different people. (but don't say their name)
10. Most everything I want to say to you, I've already said; except for one thing, but according to society, it is far too soon for such nonsense. Plus, if I really stop and think about it, I am scared. But when I think about you, I am so completely not scared that it doesn't matter at those moments and you make it so very difficult for me to refrain from giving you my entire soul.
9. I feel like your heart knows what's right, but your head won't listen. I feel like you feel this, too, but haven't admitted to it. At some point, you've got to let yourself admit it, you've got to accept it. I know you don't want to give up the comfortable-ness, but the things you tell me don't make it sound all that comfortable at all.
8. I wish we talked more frequently. I miss your light-heartedness and genuine concern in my life. Are you older than me? I think so, and that's good, because you seem like it. You're much more mature than a lot of people your age. I sincerely wish you the best of success in all your pursuits.
7. While I have wholeheartedly enjoyed this semester, I don't know if I will be able to give you guys as much time next semester. But I know that's a lie and I'll probably end up seeing you guys just as much, if not more. Honestly, though, I hope to be able to empower you better in the future.
6. I am so sorry that so many people hate you. I can see why, but I'm sorry. I empathize so, so, so much because I feel that we are very similar. I'd really like to talk to you about this.
5. I am sorry I am going to be so passive-aggressive about this.
4. As thinking of who else to include on this, you came to mind. But, to be completely honest, I have nothing to say to you. But I miss your friends. And I wonder how it made you feel.
3. I think you're cool, so let's be friends. But I think you're just a tiny bit awkward.
2. Can you tell me what a typical MSW program is like? Because I've had two social work class so far and both of the professors were awful. I know it's too soon to judge, but it's making me pretty apprehensive, nonetheless. Also, do you think I'm fit for it? How do you handle your failings while trying to help everyone else overcome their own failings?
1. It's pretty scary to me that you may soon be permanently gone. Not permanently, but kind of.
Nine things about myself:
9. I will never lable myself as a musician or an artist because music and art become less fun when they become a job.
8. I'm beginning to believe that I know far less than how I present myself.
7. The cold doesn't really bother me much, but wind does. And snow.
6. I'm pretty sure my ears don't like earrings. Too bad.
5. I've been thinking about dyeing my hair, but I would feel like a hypocrite.
4. Most times, if I avoid or refrain from something particular, it's because of its negative emotional and mental consequences.
3. My favorite topics include body language, social space, and multiple intelligences.
2. I like boys who wear belts with tucked-in shirts.
1. It's rare that I wear makeup.
Eight ways to win my heart.
8. Share what's important to me with me and allow me to do the same for you.
7. Take me to bead stores or the bead section of craft stores.
6. If our interests differ, appreciate. I'll appreciate you in return.
5. (I keep wanting to say the same thing, but they all come down to…) Lift me up.
4. Let me drive.
3. Let me cry. Sometimes, it's absolutely necessary.
2. Fall as fast as I do.
1. People-watch with me. Not even that, simply appreciate the concept. Almost all of these come down to having a sincere desire to appreciate or empathize. It's much better than simply tagging along and forcing yourself to like what I like. I don't want that. I want integrity. I want you to care enough about me to genuinely care about what I care about.
Seven things that cross my mind a lot.
7. California.
6. Grad school.
5. My to-do list(s).
4. Past experiences.
3. Professors.
2. All my ambitions I've left behind, if only for a moment.
1. Unhappiness.
Six things I do before I fall asleep.
6. Change clothes.
5. Check Facebook/email/etc.
4. Brush teeth.
3. LIE down.
2. Set alarm.
1. Build a wall of pillows.
Five people who mean a lot. (in no order whatsoever)
5. Boyfriend. :) Hehe.
4. Lots of music department people.
3. Lots of Sociology department people.
2. The Quad.

i rec'd another awesome note this morning from one of my favorite friends and i just love waking up to notes in my inbox from this sweet soul. made my day. her note also got me thinking and pondering …
i haven't felt very charged up lately spiritually and i want to be. my scripture reading time this morning felt good; first it has felt good in many days. and the scripture passage i read yesterday — part of that was the scripture quote a day for yesterday in my g.b.hinckley scripture and quote a day book, so i will eagerly soak that up as a little tender mercy today. so, today i just continued reading from that point on. i am primarily working my way through the Bible straight through, but i still hop around random a lot because i like random … i like randomly finding anything that might jump out at me to catch my attention. it is interesting to me how no matter what is going on, i find i feel peaceful while i am in the scriptures (no matter how much time i spend reading in them). for that moment i try to stop thinking about anything else and just try to focus on the passages in front of my eyes in that very moment.
happy Sabbath,
kathleen xoxo

Thom Beers' Original Prods. is taking another stab at the scripted world, hiring Justin Killion as the shingle's VP of development.
Killion will handle reality programming at Original, but has also been tasked with expanding the company's scripted offerings. Original's interest in expanding comes following FremantleMedia's recent move to take a 75% stake in the company.
Known for its testosterone-fueled hits such as "The Deadliest Catch," "Ice Road Truckers," "Ax Men" and "Monster Garage," Original just completed production on the TV movie "Deadliest Sea" — a scripted project based on "Catch."
Next up, Original is behind the A&E project "NY's Finest," from scribe Charles Murray, who's exec producing with Beers and Original prexy Philip Segal.
Beers and Segal are also pitching the project "Deadhouse," from writer Karyn Usher. And on the feature front, Original is developing "Chopper Zombie," a film written by Todd Livingston.
Killion joins Original from Kaplan/Perrone, where he spent three years as a lit talent manager. He'll work with Segal as Original looks to adapt its signature series into scripted TV and movie fare.
"We've always been about high-risk and high-reward storytelling, and now it's time to tell those stories in scripted versions," Segal said.
Before Kaplan/Perrone, Killion began his career at Endeavor, where he worked in the alternative department.

"Recommended "
Wonderful story. Love the Pips and hope there will be follow-up stories with these lovely lady's in the future. Olivia is determined, has a wonderful sense of humor and a caring spirit. It comes through throughout this story.
"love her writing "
love all her books . I can really get into her story's all ways looking for the next one
"Awful Narration"
Had I listened to the sample first I would not have bought this! Story was good, but long and predictable but good.
"Good story - narrator drove me nuts"
The sing/song voice of Angela Dawe just was more than I could handle! I will not listen to another audio that she narrates !
The book is great just didn't like how the narrator read the book. I love Julie Garwood books.
"loved it great story and narrative loved the narra"
loved it! kept me interested great story and narrator I have read them all and probably will reread
"ring names of character "
loved the books but readers needs to research names she calls Reagan , Reegen.
"Love the story but the narrator not so much"
Classic Julie Garwood. I love her stories and writing style.
I don't like the inflection at the end of every sentence. I almost gave up listening because it was very annoying. I kept listening because I had read the story and LOVED it.
If you haven't read the book and the narration discourages you from listening then buy the book and read it!

Last November I hosted a webinar that discussed the use of the companion applications Live! This session helped to further explain how to use them in congruence with TP, the history, & why we created them, etc. During the presentation I showcased the success's I have encountered with using them both in the recent AOA I described in part 2 and this blog part 3. You can find the recorded webinar on our site.
In addition I described as I am going to do here the differences between the large project engine and the excel companion solution.
However back to business at hand to finish this series and to exhibit some more capability of how we have a "Companion APP" for that.
I recently ran into the old time favorite saying with my client of "We need a whole new estimate in 2 weeks". How was I going to complete 30plus models in two weeks? Well I leaned on my development team to help develop an application that would allow me to do this even faster than I could in excel.
We informally call it the "Large Project Engine" (LPE) because it can take files of 800plus objects and import it in TP through VVA instead of VBA! So of course initially there were some bugs in the software but as we went further down the line of ensuring that it calculated in TP correctly and sent the information back to excel, we were golden!
Now I was able to make mass data changes to my original baseline estimates (all 30) in excel, import it into TP, and calculate in a matter of an hour/ hour and a half for each file. I was able to complete the files in a week! This originally took me almost a month the first time! This is like having a machine gun at a knife fight! It allowed the team to complete the estimate, QA and then produce the files for analysis and complete a variance document for the customer all in two weeks as requested!
This project engine is not totally ready for mass release but when it is it will be a force to be reckoned with in congruence with the TP Model.
To wrap up I want to briefly explain the differences between two applications even though each is very effective. The table below depicts the differences:
Excel Solution
Large Project Engine
VBA ( No require install)
VVA ( Requires and Install on computer)
Segregated tabs for different components (HW/SW)
All inputs for all Components on one tab including Lifecycle
Complete in formatting and Usability
Out of the box, raw engine, still being refined
For the Novice to Expert User
For the Intermediate to Expert User
Performs Calibration
No Calibration added yet
Slow in run time – Fills in all inputs
Fast in run time – Fills in all inputs needed
Does not pull out any Prepopulated charts
Can be modified to pull out Prepopulated charts
Now I have only explained in detail really 3 of our 8 companion applications. Nevertheless we offer mentoring, training and webinars which all can be used to help gain a deeper understanding of the other companion applications as well as the 3 I talked about in my blogs.

Extracorporeal shock wave Lithotripsy
Extracorporeal shock wave Lithotripsy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is the non-invasive treatment of kidney stones (urinary calculosis) and biliary calculi (stones in the gallbladder or in the liver) using an acoustic pulse. Lithotripsy and the lithotriptor were developed in the early 1980s in Germany by Dornier Medizintechnik GmbH (now known as Dornier MedTech Systems GmbH
ESWA (Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy)
This procedure uses sound waves to break up stones. (Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)) In this procedure called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy uses sound waves to create strong vibrations called shock waves that break the stones into tiny pieces that are then passed in your urine. The procedure creates a loud noise and can cause moderate pain, so you may be under sedation or light anaesthesia to make you comfortable. The specifics of your procedure may vary depending on the type of equipment your doctor uses.
ESWL is the least invasive of the commonplace modalities for definitive stone treatment, but provides a lower stone-free rate than other more invasive treatment methods, such as ureteroscopic manipulation with laser lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The passage of stone fragments may take a few days or a week and may cause mild pain. Patients may be instructed to drink as much water as practical during this time. Patients are also advised to void through a stonescreen in order to capture stone fragments for analysis
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can cause blood in the urine, bruising on the back or abdomen, bleeding around the kidney and other adjacent organs, and discomfort as the stone fragments pass through the urinary tract.
ESWL focuses high-energy shock waves from a source outside the body and uses this energy to crush the stone into tiny pieces. These pieces are then small enough to pass out of the body duringurination.
Shock waves created by high-voltage discharges are focused on the kidney with the stone.
The waves are transmitted through water. This is done either by placing the person's lower body in a tank of water or by positioning a water-filled cushion between the person and the source of shock waves.
These shock waves do not damage the surrounding portions of the body.
Most stones are reduced to a powdery substance following multiple shock-wave discharges.
These shock waves do not damage the surrounding portions of the body.
Most stones are reduced to a powdery substance following multiple shock-wave discharges.
ESWL is the treatment of choice under the following circumstances:
People with just one stone, or those who have had ongoing problems with kidney stones, as long as the stones are no larger than three centimeters.
People who may not be able to tolerate open surgery.
People with certain health conditions, such as hypertension, breathing disorders, heart disease, and diabetes.
ESWL is most effective when treating stones smaller than three centimeters. Extracorporeal lithotripsy works best with stones between 4 mm and 2 cm in diameter that are still located in the kidney. It can be used to break up stones which are located in a ureter too, but with less success.It has best results when a stone is smaller than one centimeter in size and is located in the pelvic portion of the kidney. In these cases, the success rate is around 90 percent.
The patients undergoing this procedure can, in some cases, see for themselves the progress of their treatment. If allowed to view the ultrasound or x-ray monitor, they may be able to see their stones change from a distinct bright point (or dark spot depending on whether the fluoro unit is set up in native or bones white) to a fuzzy cloud as the stone is disintegrated into a fine powder.
After ESWL, between 65 and 75 percent of individuals will no longer have kidney stones. The success rate is related to the size of the stone and the degree to which it can be crushed. If stone fragments remain in the urinary tract, there's a greater chance that new stones will form.

A few minutes ago I was in the kitchen prepping some chili to put in the crockpot. Cate was playing in the living room, until she ran into the kitchen.
"Mommy, Mommy!" she exclaimed.
"Yes Cate, what is it?" I replied.
"Mavis pooped!"
Hmm. Perhaps she'd actually gone in her diaper and told me that the dog had pooped instead. (It's happened before.) I decided to probe a little further to be sure.
"Mavis pooped?" I asked her.
"Yeah." (We're still working on the "yes, ma'am" instead of "yeah")
"Where did Mavis poop, Cate?"
"In the play house."
"Oh no! Let me go check."
I checked, and sure enough, Mavis had gone in Cate's play house that is set up in the living room. Grrr.
I thanked Cate for telling me.
"You're welcome." she answered, nonchalantly.
This conversation may not seem extraordinary, but she's just recently gotten to the point where you can have and actual "back and forth" dialogue. She's been answering questions for a quite some time, but now she initiates conversation. I love it so much and I'm just fascinated by the things that she has to say. I've often wondered what's going through her mind, and now she's actually letting me know.
It's weird to think of her as her own person. For so long, I've seen her more like an extension of myself. She ate what I wanted her to eat, she wore what I wanted her to wear, she went where I wanted her to go. Now she has opinions; likes and dislikes. It's amazing to see her blossoming into a little girl.

*Editor's Note: This story has been updated to include comments from Oklahoma Congressman Tom Cole.
A spokesperson for Sen. James Lankford, R-OK, says the Senator "does not appreciate Trump's name-calling style of politics." The comment comes after President Trump referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, as "Pocahontas" in an Oval Office press conference commemorating Navajo Code Talkers in World War II.
"You were here long before any of us were here," Trump said, standing in front of a portrait of President Andrew Jackson. "Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas."
Lankford sits on the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Lankford spokesperson Aly Beley tells KGOU, "Lankford believes that leaders should demonstrate uniform respect for each other and have disagreements without personal attack."
Congressman Tom Cole, a member of the Chickasaw Nation, was at the press conference when Trump made the comment. In a statement, he said Trump is the first president to recognize Native American Code Talkers in the Oval Office and commended the president for a "gracious and thoughtful act."
However, Cole says referring to Warren as "Pocahontas" was "insensitive and unnecessary" during an event honoring the contributions of Native Americans.
"It is my hope that in the future we can all remain mindful of our Native communities and continue to respect their heritage and rights as fellow citizens of the United States," Cole said. "It is also my hope that we can dial back the rhetoric in Washington, D.C. and refer to our partisan counterparts in language that is respectful and courteous."
Nearly 500,000 Oklahomans identify themselves as either wholly or partially Native American, according to U.S. Census data.
"Pocahontas is a historical figure and more than a cartoon character or nickname, she is a hero to her people and her name deserves respect," Beley said.
In a statement, Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye said the Navajo Nation does not want to engage in a dialogue between Warren and Trump. "In this day and age, all tribal nations still battle insensitive references to our people. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy," Begaye said.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in her daily press briefing on Monday, "Pocahontas" was not a racial slur and it "certainly was not the President's intent" to use a racial slur.

Although build with low-tech, however, it is still one of the fastest and highest-flying military aircraft of history. The shape of pitot tube was wrong, so I removed the "branches".(="=??) Enlengthen the nose cone for about 3mm by plastic sheet according to the blueprint. This kit fitted not well as I expected, massive gap between the fuselage and wing, moreover, terrible step on the nose connection as you can see...... Thankfully, it turned out okay, here is the result: By the way, it was my second military model that I purchased, where did the courage come from?

MiG-25RBT, 1/48 ICM
Johan posted a topic in Cold WarHi, Just starting up on this kit - and I want to get it right. I understand from various links on this Forum and others that there is a fix to be applied to make this into an RBT. Or vice versa - back date the kit to an RB. So let me verify my findings after spending a(n other) day on Google with you: RBT: Shape a bulge under the nose cone (or use an aftermarket part) Omit parts C21 & C22 and fill the recesses. RB: Shorten the upper parts of the air-intakes and cut them flush to the upper end of the intake fairing. Modify the parashut housing. Is this a correct summary? If someone could help with the correct color of the cockpit interior color that would be great as well. I have seen some postings here that are done in a greenish blue / bluish green color that look very close to references found on the web. But the instructions call for Tamiya XF-71. This is cockpit green. My Eduard MiG-21 printed IP has the same color as seen in your threads. My Eduard SU-27 printed IP is pale grey. Your advice would be very much appreciated. Best regards Johan

modelling minion posted a topic in 70s NATO vs Warsaw Pact in Europe GBMy first entry into this excellent GB is one from the "other side" of the Iron Curtain and a very iconic Cold War beast it is, ICM's new 1/48 Mig-25 RBT. Now I have been watching a couple of excellent WIP's of this beast and it seems that OOTB it is more akin to the RB version, that suits me fine as both RB's and RBT's were used by GSFG during the 1970's. Equipped for very high speed bombing missions (it's where the "B" comes from in it's version) as well as the usual reconnaissance missions they formed a vital part of the the WARPAC military machine. An excellent overview of their operations can be found here; http://www.16va.be/3.4_la_reco_part4_eng.html . This website is excellent for info and photo's of Soviet aircraft in Germany during the Cold War. Here are the ubiquitous box + contents pictures. The box. It's contents. And the only extras I have for it (so far!), the excellent decal sheets by Begemot. I was very tempted by the Bulgarian option but I don't think they started using them until the 80's, so Soviet it shall be. I'm not sure exactly when I shall start this as I'm in the middle of an F-16 for the STGB at the minute but I can't see me holding off for long. Craig.

ICM 1/48 Mig-25 RB
modelling minion posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - AircraftHi all here are some pics of my latest project ICM's excellent new Mig-25RBT built as an RB from the 931st OGRAP (Guards Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment) based at Werneuchen East Germany in the 1970's. This model has been built as part of the 1970's NATO/WARPAC GB which is well worth checking out if you haven't had a look already as there are some cracking builds on there. The kit has been built out of the box with the exception of a pitot probe by Master (which is a must have for this kit) and some Eduard seat belts. Despite the size and complexity of the kit (it really is big!) it goes together very well and only needs a small amount of filler in a couple of places and I highly recommend it, anyway here are some pics. I used decals by Begemot which worked very well indeed and I will be using more of theirs in the future, they looked like a better size than the kit decals and they settled down nicely into position. If you want to have a read of the WIP then here is a link; Hope you like it and please feel free to comment and criticise. Thanks for looking in. Craig.
ICM Mig-25RB/RBT camo or not camo?
modelling minion posted a topic in Cold WarHi guys, With the recent arrival of the ICM 1/48 Mig-25 RB/RBT I was wondering if this could be built as one of the Soviet/Russian aircraft which wear the wonderful 4 tone camouflage scheme or not, and if not what exactly would need to be done to it to make it into the correct version. Cheers. Craig.
1/144 Revell MiG-25 Foxbat
TonkaGR.1 posted a topic in Work in Progress - AircraftWhen you have multiple projects in finalization phase, it is best to start a new one This kit is pretty basic (and based on what I gather, shape wise not entirely accurate), so there will be plenty of opportunities for improvement and scratch building. Starting with air intakes which were sanded down a bit: Cockpit will be scratch built, starting with this opening Nose gear bay will be rebuilt: As well as main gear bays: Biggest disappointment were decals, at least with my sample they're full of tiny gaps and will not be used. BTW are there any sets for 1/144 Foxbats?

caplus12000 posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - AircraftThis is only my 3rd model I've ever done, so there are new skills to learn still. As I'm a newbie, I'm not particularly fussed about the accuracy of the model; I'd rather just have a cool looking jet in my room. It was painted with Tamiya spray paints, and the smaller bits by hand. The worst part of the kit was definitely the canopy; it was not even clear and looked foggy, and it did not fit nicely at all. Otherwise, a really good kit from Condor. .

I was surrounded by darkness. Wherever I turn, I am consumed by darkness. Left and right they would engage me in their senseless talks. On and on they would pursue me with grandeur of gifts and treasures belonging in this world. Tempted as I am, slowly I was compelled, then paralyzed.
I gave you a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control, He says. (2 Timothy 1:7) Back to my reality in Him, half awake I could hear the waves of the sea as it kisses the sand on the shore. Not yet my daughter, it's not the time to grieve. Come to me and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28) are the words He uttered that breathe life to my dry bones.
I didn't see it coming you know. How after taking a peek in this door, I allowed the world to put me into chains. As He carries me with His own light, tears started to outrun every doubt and fear I felt not so long ago. Once again, I was consumed by His fire (Hebrews 12:29).
I found myself in Corinth today. He handed me a letter written by his disciple Paul. We sat in an empty street beside houses made of stone. I read out loud the words He has spoken through Paul. The letter reveals the triumphs and struggles that result when life in the present age meets up with the in-breaking reality of God's Kingdom.
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come (2 Corinthians 1:21,22). These are His words written not in tablets of stones but on tablets of human hearts (2 Corinthians 2:5). These are treasures incomparable to any amount of gold.
The world may say whatever they want to say. They may show you whatever pleases them. But what matters is, who are you listening to? Where are you looking at? Is there any reason for you to be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10)? Is there anything to hard for me (Jeremiah 32:27)?

ON SATURDAY Carnoustie Panmure travelled to Whitton Park to face Broughty Athletic in the ACA Sports East Premier League.
Gowfers' manager Ian Gilzean fielded the same line-up as had won at Kinnoull in their last game two weeks ago.
Bench places went to Steven Narey, Kevin Cumming, Greg Beattie, new signing Mark Matthew and spare goalkeeper John McCafferty.
In the home line-up was former Gowfer Graham Allan, while Brian Craik and Iain McLeod, were substitutes.
Carnoustie kicked off up the slope with the stiff wind. The ball was knocked out of play by B. Brown. From Cook's throw-in, Perera flicked the ball over his head and over 'keeper Cormack to the back post where GATES stooped low to head home with only 27 seconds on the watch.
In seven minutes, the Gowfers came close to going further ahead after Gates won a corner. He took the kick himself and found Perera, whose initial shot was blocked back out to him. He sent the ball back, but to the side-netting.
Broughty attacked through Smith and Allan, whose shot was blocked by Hunter. The ball fell out to Smith, who shot wide from 25 yards.
Myles was shown the yellow card for a foul on Hendry.
With defences on top, shots at goal were few, but in 27 minutes, the Gowfers had a good penalty claim turned down. Clark went down inside the box under a challenge from Dailly, but the referee waved play on.
On the half-hour mark, Broughty were awarded a free kick after Burns was tripped by Clark, who received a severe telling-off from the referee. Winter took the kick, but Roberts got up well to head clear.
In 36 minutes, O'Leary was fouled by Hendry, who was yellow-carded for not retreating 10 yards quickly enough.
Winter played a long ball to Allan, who looked well offside but was allowed to run on and only a great saving tackle by Hendry prevented a goal.
Half-time: Broughty Athletic 0, Carnoustie Panmure 1.
Broughty kicked off second half but Carnoustie were first to show.
In 54 minutes, Perera won the ball off Bertie and fed Milne, whose shot was blocked by Cormack and it spun out behind for a corner. McIlravey kicked to Cook, who shot narrowly over.
Six minutes later, Perera was cautioned after the referee deemed his tackle on Bertie on the half-way line to be 'reckless and dangerous'. B. Brown's free kick picked out Myles, who sent his header well wide.
In 64 minutes, Broughty made a double substitution with Allan and Burns being replaced by Craik and Raffell.
The Fed were enjoying one of their best spells of the match and two minutes later a Myles long throw picked out Bertie, whose header flew straight into Jamieson's hands.
Carnoustie made their first change in 70 minutes when Cumming was introduced for Perera.
The visitors continued to press and in 73 minutes Clark was brought down by Dailly for what seemed a penalty, but he was yellow-card for diving. Milne was booked for protesting.
However, two minutes later, Gates made his way into the home box where he was brought down by Stark and this time the referee did point to the spot. GATES took the kick himself and hammered the ball past Cormack to put Carnoustie two up.
Broughty lifted their game and almost pulled a goal back in 79 minutes after Tonner was adjudged to have fouled substitute Raffell 30 yards out. Winter sent in a rocket shot from the free kick, but Jamieson brought off a great save to keep his charge intact. Two minutes later, the Gowfers' Beattie replaced McIlravey.
Gaps were appearing in the Broughty defence and Carnoustie almost notched a third when Clark fed Cumming, who drilled in a shot, saved by Cormack.
In 85 minutes, the Fed had a half-chance to pull one back. Craik laid the ball back to Raffell at the edge of the box, but he squandered the opportunity by blasting the ball well wide of Jamieson's left-hand upright.
In 89 minutes, Cumming eased pressure on the Gowfers' goal with a fine solo run into the home box where he was brought down by B. Brown for what looked another 'stonewall' penalty, but the referee waved aside claims.
Broughty Athletic: Cormack, Dailly, B. Brown, Winter, Smith, Myles, Stark, Burns (Raffell 64), Bertie, Allan (Craik 64), O'Leary. Substitutes, not used - Murdoch, McLeod, Farquharson and Etchels, D. Brown (gk).
Carnoustie Panmure: Jamieson, Hendry, Tonner, McIlravey (Beattie 81), Cook, Hunter, Clark, Roberts, Perera (Cumming 70), Milne, Gates. Substitutes, not used - Narey, Matthew and McCafferty (gk).
Referee: G. Thomson, Edinburgh.
Carnoustie are back at Laing Park tomorrow (Saturday) when they welcome St Andrews United in the ACA Sports East Premier League. Kick-off is at 2.30 p.m. Broughty visit Bonnyrigg for a second-round East of Scotland Cup tie, with a 2.30 p.m. start.

By Tom Hanaway (@tomhanaway)
Networking, interning and shoes. These are three important topics that my fellow interns and I talked about with members of Red Shoes PR during our tour of their public relations agency last week. They gave us invaluable advice from how to get an internship to how to score that dream job. Their suggestions are not only helpful for PR students, but any student hoping to get a job after school (AKA all of us).
1. Your major is actually quite minor.
What the employers of Red Shoes PR stressed was the importance of experience. Karen Buckoski, the senior account executive at Red Shoes PR, said the major people chose in college is actually quite insignificant. What she and other employers look for is real hands-on practice in the field they are going into. Buckoski said she would hire someone with a mathematics degree, if they had interned at enough PR agencies and were familiar with the world of public relations. She also said that sometimes having a degree outside of journalism/PR, along with that desired PR experience, can be useful, citing how an employee with a mathematics degree would do a fantastic job great being the account coordinator for a bank or other financial business.
2. Intern, intern, intern.
The skills and knowledge gained through internships are now vital. While students learn a lot in the classroom, there are aspects of certain careers that can only be learned through interning. Working at a company you like or in a field you plan on entering will not only give you something to put on your resume, but also let you test the waters and see if a certain career field is right for you. Since getting that experience is important, when and where should students intern?
Buckoski said she had an internships throughout her college career after she was a sophomore. She stressed that students should not be afraid about applying for internships if they are only a freshman or sophomore. Employers already know that they will have to teach interns how to perform their tasks and responsibilities, so don't think you are under-qualified. Even if you don't get the internship, it will let businesses know that you are driven and eager to work. Think of reaching out for an internship as forming a relationship with the company. Buckoski said that sometimes she contacts previous applicants when an internship becomes available, giving them an advantage over other students.

3. Dress to Impress.
Employers like Buckoski not only care about your resume, but also your appearance. Buckoski implores students to dress their bests for interviews. She said it shows employers you care about the position and have the ability to appear professional. Dressing up in a suit is a must for working at places like Red Shoes PR. Buckoski often takes her interns along to meetings with clients and wants interns who are able to blend in. Basically, leave your UW Oshkosh sweatpants at home, and iron your best dress clothes.
4. Network early, network often.
The pros at Red Shoes PR said that networking is one of the most important tactics people must do in order to find that perfect job. From meeting other journalism students in classes and clubs, to taking that extra step in meeting fellow interns and employees during internships, every person you meet is one step closer to finding a job. Buckoski said that just meeting and exchanging business cards isn't enough. Make sure to use social media to keep in contact with new acquaintances to continue to build a relationship, whether it is Facebook or LinkedIn. Also use Twitter to grab the attention of your dream company or of someone you haven't met yet. Buckoski said she notices if someone tweets or retweets her on a regular basis, which can eventually lead to an online relationship, and perhaps even a job interview.
5. No job after college? No problem.
We discussed the idea of when and how to find a job after college. One thing we learned was that not everyone gets a job right after college and taking an internship after graduation may be a wise decision. Taking an internship has the potential of evolving into a full-time position at the company you are working at. Take Journalism alum Sara Jeffers for example. After college, Jeffers decided to intern at Red Shoes PR for the summer. After her internship, she impressed her bosses at Red Shoes so much that they hired her to be an account coordinator.
These are some of the tips that I learned from my visit at Red Shoes PR, but there is one more tip I will leave you with. Don't be shy to tour an agency or have an informational interview with a business, just like we did. We learned tons about the marketing and public relations field, and were given free donuts and coffee for coming. You will also leave with a few new contacts, and a wealth of knowledge.

A 16 per cent increase in homelessness in London over the last year, means the government must use this month's Spending Review to build more affordable houses and stop and reverse cuts, particularly to housing benefit, warns Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people.
Figures released by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) show that 14,812 households in the capital were accepted as homeless by their local council in the 2012/2013 financial year – an increase of 16 per cent on last year, substantially higher than the 6 per cent rise across England. It is the third consecutive year that homelessness has risen in London and over the three years homelessness acceptances have increased by 57 per cent.
Also in London in 2012/13:
- There are 40,230 households in temporary accommodation, 9.5 per cent more than at the same point last year
- There are 2,290 homeless households living in B&Bs, a 22 per cent increase on the same time last year. 51 per cent of all households placed in B&Bs in England are in London.
- One of the biggest drivers of the increase in homelessness has been private tenancies coming to an end, as rents rise and cuts to housing benefit come in. Since last year there has been a 75 per cent increase in those made homeless because of the ending of a private tenancy in London
- The ending of a private tenancy is now the leading cause of homelessness in the capital, accounting for 28 per cent of all those accepted as homeless.
- In some outer London boroughs the rises in homelessness have been severe:
- In Barking and Dagenham 664 households were accepted as homeless in 2012/13, up 234 per cent on the year before
- In Newham 720 households were accepted as homeless in 2012/13, up 190 per cent on the year before
- In Enfield 551 households were accepted as homeless in 2012/13, up 115 per cent on the year before
The homelessness figures follow statistics last week from the government's Valuation Office Agency2 showing that London rents for 2012/13 are up 8.6 per cent on the year before, with relatively cheaper properties rising faster. Across the capital the lower quartile of rents rose by 10.4 per cent and in inner London the price of renting the cheapest properties went up by 16.3 per cent.
Leslie Morphy, chief executive of Crisis, said: "This rising tide of homelessness is a direct result of cuts to housing benefit at a time when there is a chronic lack of affordable housing and rents are rising, nowhere more so than London. Ministers can and must do more. Their immediate priorities should be to use the spending review to rein in the destructive welfare cuts they have made and focus instead on building the genuinely affordable homes Britain needs.
"These figures are a tragedy for the tens of thousands of people made homeless during the last year, but they are bad for us all. It makes more sense and is more cost-effective to help people stay in their homes than spend far more money on temporary accommodation or support once people become homeless. With more cuts to housing benefit kicking in we can sadly only expect things to get worse"
Independent research clearly showed that cuts to housing benefit3 would cause homelessness and today's statistics reflect this. Temporary accommodation costs far more to the taxpayer than keeping a family in their own home. Recent reports from London include the story of a family receiving £700 a week in housing benefit made homeless due to cuts, only to be put in £2,500 a week temporary accommodation.
DCLG's figures only cover households that have met strict criteria for help. Many single homeless people will not be recorded in these figures, nor people who have not gone to their local council for help. People living on the streets, in squats or on friends' or families' floors will likewise not be included in today's statistics.

Sometimes I have very vivid dreams. One moment they can seem really real but the next I wonder if my mind is trying to tell me something. This one is no different.
The details are hazy, but some things are as a clear as day. First I should give a couple of back details.
My Great Grandma had a house by a ferry dock. It was my favorite place to go. In 2000 she passed away. My Great Uncle got the house. Even though I have not been there in over 10 years I can still tell you every detail of the house. Like I said, my favorite place.
Anyway, dream time.
My mom and I decide to go to my Uncles house. Just to see the old sites and see how he is doing. When we arrive you can see he is not doing well because he lets us inside the house. I wonder off with my son, telling him the different memories and things about the house and the rooms. As I get further into the house I can see that renovations have been done. It still looks like an old house, but it doesn't look like it is going to fall down anymore. The rooms look mostly the same. The bathroom looks more modern then old. Like there is a shower/bath combination instead of it just being a bath.
Sometime during the dream I realize this would be the perfect house for me and my family. It has three bedrooms, its pretty private, we can build a garage in the port and the front yard area is fenced (I am not sure if it really is a yard, Grandma never really let me go back there but the dogs were there all the time, I think it would be the perfect area for a garden). While I am still wondering around I am pondering how I can get my Uncle to let me have the house. Since the beef he has with our side of the family really has nothing to do with me.
That is when I discover that the entrance to the attic looks super new. The last time I was there steps were missing and grandma made it clear that I am not to go up there. There were parts of the floor/roof that could fall down if step on. But I still went up there when I could sneak away. Anyway, I went up there to see what was done. Somehow my uncle raised the roof cause I could walk around without ducking. But what surprised me was that my childhood best friend was living up there while he went to college (that is what he told me). After this little realization I went to go find mom.
They were downstairs in the living room. My Uncle looked even more like crap. Mom had gone out to the car to get the diaper bag so I had a chance to talk to him. I found out that he needs a kidney transplant. None of his kids were a match. I felt like this was my chance to get something from him, the thing I wanted most… the house. So I asked him if I gave him my kidney if he would give me the house, no questions asked. Unfortunately I woke up before he would give me an answer.
I have had this dream twice already. So if I have it again I will be making a trip out there to see what is up. What do you think the dream is trying to tell me? I have some ideas but none that really make sense. I did have the dream shortly after finding out that there was an opening at a different branch within Duh Hubbies company and he wanted to be transferred and the house would be the perfect place to relocate. And I have always wanted to go back to the house, I have not been there since Great Grandma died. Maybe I should go out there anyway, some of my best memories are out there and I LOVE the beach.
