Book Affordable One-Off Cleaning in West Harrow
Busy lifestyles often mean that there isn't as much time as there should be for cleaning and a quick once over with the duster and vacuum cleaner just has to do. Eventually though your home will need a thorough clean but if you don't have the time for regular cleaning how on earth will you fit in a whole day of it? We have the solution – book our service for one-off cleaning in West Harrow and let us take care of it for you!
We offer a very high standard of service for an incredibly low price and will make sure that every inch of your home is sparklingly clean and smells lovely and fresh. This is much more intensive than our regular cleaning service and perfect for many different situations so give us a call right now and request your free quote for our one-off deep cleaning service!
How will Our Spring Cleaning Service in West Harrow Suit You?
This affordable service is suitable for many different situations. Below is a list of the differences between one-off cleaning and our regular cleaning service. Take a look and see exactly what you can expect when you book one-off deep cleaning:
- Our professional deep cleaners are usually booked when more attention than normal is required, i.e. if you've had refurbishment work, if you are having or have had a party, if you are moving, if you want a thorough spring clean, etc. All you need to do is book a day that suits and then you can leave us to get on with making your home shine. Regular cleaning is carried out on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis as you need and will continue unless you ask us to stop;
- We need a minimum of 3 hours to carry out deep cleaning and may use more than 1 cleaner depending on your needs and the size of your home. We recommend that you let us know details of your requirements so that we can create a personalised plan and a free quote. When you book regular cleaning you are allocated a maid that'll visit you as frequently and for as long as you want. Talk to our advisers prior to booking and they'll tell you how long your cleaner will need to get through the tasks you set for them;
- For an extra 13 GBP we'll supply all equipment and detergents needed to carry out one-off cleaning. We ask that a minimum of 2 cleaners for 3 hours each are booked when equipment is supplied. We offer professional cleaning detergents at a great price that we can delivery directly to your door in time for your first visit from your regular cleaner - we only ask that you supply us with a vacuum cleaner;
- The intensive nature of one-off cleaning means that it does take longer than regular cleaning. We recommend that you tell us what you want, the results that you expect and give us details of your property and we'll then tailor a personal plan for you. The routine of regular cleaning makes it easier and quicker to get your home looking great. We do recommend though that you make your first appointment 30-60 minutes longer to allow your regular cleaner time to familiarise them self with you and your home;
- Our one-off deep cleaning service is the perfect way to refresh your home a couple of times a year, will save you time and money if you're moving in or out and is even the perfect way to try us if you are thinking of booking us for regular cleaning. We can carry out regular cleaning as often as you want and are so flexible that we'll happily do it for a short period of time to cover your other cleaner or help in a busy period whether due to a new baby, long hours at work, etc.;
- There are no obligations for you with either service. Once we've finished spring cleaning in West Harrow for you and you're happy - that's it. Likewise we'll continue regular cleaning until you ask us to stop as there is no minimum contract;
- Both services are hourly based and is set by you before we start;
- You can book weekend and bank holiday appointments for both services at no extra cost;
- Neither service includes cleaning of the exterior of the property;
- Our Service for spring cleaning in HA2 doesn't include laundry and ironing but this can be included with regular cleaning - you just need to allow enough time;
- You can combine other services such as oven cleaning and carpet cleaning with one-off cleaning. Regular cleaning can include carpet hoovering and appliance cleaning as standard;
- You may request the same deep cleaning team when booking your next appointment. Similarly you'll be allocated your own personal maid when you book regular cleaning that will come to each appointment - we just ask that you not alter the appointment when it's avoidable;
- Both services offer secure key holding so we can get on with the task at hand and let you get on with your day.
One-off cleaning includes: hoovering and mopping; dusting; polishing; lime scale removal; cleaning wardrobes and cupboards inside and out; internal and external window cleaning; intensive bathroom cleaning, including tiles, grout, floor, toilet, sink, etc.; cleaning skirting boards; appliance cleaning (please defrost the freezer beforehand); cleaning doors, handles and light switches; and professional carpet and upholstery cleaning, oven cleaning and more - please call and ask for more details.
Regular cleaning includes: vacuuming and mopping; dusting and polishing; dish-washing; laundry and ironing; tidying and clothes folding; changing bin bags and taking out the rubbish; changing bed sheets; internal window cleaning within reach; cleaning bathroom tiles, floor, sink, WC and mirrors; cleaning skirting boards, doors, door handles and light switches; general clean of kitchen appliances; etc. Please download our cleaning checklist for more details.

Not afraid to add to the list instead of bumping anyone off it, I'm adding Enzo Ferrari, who you may not know, was selling cars so he could afford to make and drive race cars.
Am I wrong? Did I not think of some other people who are more of the "car guy" through and through, for their influence, history, ability, hands on knowledge, and passion for vehicles in general? I hope you surprise me! Please either email me at email@example.com, or use the comment section
East Side (Yo!) http://backstreetwheels.blogspot.com/ adds the following, and I'm going to have to think about them and look them up for my own education before I'm going to add them to my list... some I'm probably going to, but not all of them I think... anyway, here is East Side Richard's top car people:
Giles Villeneuve
Paul Newman
Don Garlits
Shirley Muldowney
Roger Penske
Carroll Shelby
Mark Donahue
Ron Fellows
A.J. Foyt
Phil Hill
Danica Patrick (HOT)
Sterling Moss
Lee Iacoco
Dan Panoz
The Edelbrock family
All right, I'm adding Carroll Shelby to my list without further thought, I've already made the case for Carroll, http://choosingscars.blogspot.com/2006/12/meanest-cobra-ever-made-ever-carrols.html
I'm adding Bruce Meyer, former chair of the Peterson Museum, collector, restorer, etc. Owns several instantly recognizable cars, like the Pierson bros coupe, the Greer, Black and Prudhomme dragster, the Doane Spencer highboy roadster, and the So-Cal Special bellytanker
Randy add Walter P Chrysler.. who introduced the Plymouth and DeSoto lines of cars in the 1920's and they survived the great depression, something Randy believes was only accomplished by one other line that was introduced in the 20's.... Pontiac
East Side Richard forgot his favorite, Giles Villeneuve in his earlier list, so that is now appended. Giles had the best battle for 2nd place in racing... is the contention of http://www.theprancinghorse.co.uk/profile_villeneuve.html and I agree emphatically. Just enjoy the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFxfPw1LoCg&feature=related for the first minute, Giles is in the red Ferrari

"No one has the Midas touch all the time," said restaurateur Ken Friedman of his recently shuttered John Dory. "It was a really sucky block for that restaurant." A little fish wading between whales like Del Posto and Morimoto, Friedman said, with high rents and few covers, the John Dory was the right restaurant in the wrong place.
Still, there's hope yet, Friedman told the crowd at the New York Culinary Experience (after a skal to loosen his tongue). "We have decided on a location for the John Dory's new home, and it's three times the space of the old one." Where, exactly, he wouldn't yet say.
But new ventures, he believes, have a fighting chance in today's down economy. "Manhattan is today the way Williamsburg was five years ago. There are opportunities for restaurants everywhere. You can walk into a restaurant that just closed and take their kitchen right over. None of the brain damage that comes with building your own."

Need help after reading so many posting on this website
Meet a man on the net and now wants me to travel to nigeria to marry. Want to go but some advise would be good. Any information on how to check if a passport is for real from nigeria.

Tell him you need the money for the airfare. If he loves you enough to marry you, he'll get the case. If not, he's probably out to scam you. I only say that after reading similar stories on this forum. Search under Nigeria or Scam and see if anything rings a bell.

Hi David F
thank you for the advise
I have read so many posting on this formun and just do not know any more.
I have a copy of his pass port and other documents but just donot have a way to check them. We have also skpye each other and chat nearly ever night.
Do you know of the lady who went to Nigeria and married the guy she meet on line as I would love to be able to chat to her. (I will search the forums again and give her sign on name if that would help)

I am from Nigeria, but reside in the USA.
I know there are so many scams in Nigeria.
How long have you known this person?
If may be safer for the person to come and visit you first.
That way you can see and assess the person while in your country.
Do not send any money.
If it sounds too good to be true then it is a scam.
What country do you reside in?

Hi Ohiba
I live in Australia. I have meet this man on skype afew times and call each other offen. We chat nearly every day and have started communicating with other memebers of his family (there are happy for both of us) We looked into him coming here but our laws are so strict (and the expense is high). I know that he not a rich man but still would like to meet him. I have copies of offical documents from him and he is now working on a letter of invitation so I can go there to him.
As a forigener in nigeria will I be safe with him and his family?
Can you give me some more advise on safety if i go there to meet him?
And sorry one more question do you know of any other person (woman would be good) that have meet on line and gone to meet there potenial husbands/wifes?
Thank you for your time will the response (as I always try and find the best in every situtation plus I can not believe that everyone in nigeria is out to hurt or scam westerners)

Hi, My name is Tunde and I am a Nigerian. While the situation is Nigeria has improved it is a very difficult place to get around and is very unusual for people to go there without having met the people they are going to meet first (whether for business or personal). If you do decide to go I would strongly suggest you meet him in Ghana (an english speaking West African country that is just an hour away by air - and there are a lot of reasonably priced flights). Ghana is relatively safe and Nigerian's can travel there without any visa or formality so there should be no reason why he cannot meet you there.
Frankly I would strongly discourage you from going, but if you do travel please here are some tips.
1.Immediately get a local SIM card with extra recharge or top up AT THE AIRPORT when you land - no excuses or delays.
2. Try and keep you phone fully charged (There is public electricity only 10% of the time in Nigeria)
3. Make sure at least two friends or family know Exactly where you are all times and agree with them that you will contact them at least every other day.
Best of luck to you.

Hi TundeF
Thank you for the advise, I will do some research into Ghana and see what our travel advise page says about that. At the moment I was thinking of meeting him in Kenya but the warnings are just as bad there,
I now about the electricity the as the man has let me know that they have black outs all the time
I still have not deside to go defently yet but have around another 4 months to make the call.
Thank you about the phone ( I will do this if I go) plus I have already made of note of our web travel page here is australia (smart traveller) You can log your internary on this site plus I was also going to call into our embassy in Lagos,
I will book the hotel my self from this end as well so that I know exactly where I am staying (think this is a good safe option).
Thank you for the advise and quite happy to taken any other suggestion

I have just seen your post.
Now i see the reason for your questions in other posts.
I do not see the reason why you should go to a different country (Ghana to meet up) like TundeF suggested, doesn't make sense to me.
Simply use our service to verify all the facts (all what he told you) you need (know before you travel) about your internet lover. (is he married in Nigeria? you don't know that do you?, where does he stay, is it factual? pictures, himself, his family, are they real, not his wife posing as his sister, etc, etc.
Australia is a far place, you need to know if your 9 hrs flight to visit him would be worth it.
Scam Prevent.
We offer Third Party Verification services in Nigeria and Ghana to prevent you from being scammed.
We verify and confirm any business or personal offers you receive from Nigeria and Ghana before you part with your money.
E.g. if it is online relationship, you may request us to take the picture of your online lover for you. to confirm if the person is actually who they are. We go to location based on details you provide to get official picture. E.g. if it is document, we verify it from the Relevant Agency for you and send you the information.
Please note that we charge for our service depending on the location of your online contact you want us to verify for you.
If you would like to use our service, send us an email :
[email protected]
If you know anyone who has received any offers (personal or business) from Nigeria or Ghana, do recommend our service, before they lose their hard earned money.

Until someone in the western community can verify that you are 100% real Im not touching your service. Any company that states it 100% real but does not have a website and runs it email from a different country to the one they are register (and register in the country known for scam) will ring alarm bells in any ones mind.
My other thing that makes me think there is problems is not that you do not have a website but there are no testiomals about your service on the net. Surely if you have done sure business before some one would have a comment to make about it.
Please beaware that too many people on this site have been bitten to many times to trust anyone from Nigeria (and that many are watching out for others)
Please also note it not a 9 hour fight time (nine hours different in time at the moment due to not daylight save times) but more like a 24 hour fight with at less on stop over usually in South Africa (as I have already research this).

@ Angeleyess,
We are 100% real. As mentioned in response to your question in other post, we have recently introduced this service after seeing many people being scammed. We are probably the first to offer this service , so please take note of our Company name.
If our verification service prevents people from being scammed, then we are achieving our objectives.
If too many people have been bitten on this site, i believe if they had known of our service earlier, they'd be thankful.
Should you decide to give us the benefit of doubt, i believe we will meet your expectations because i know you will tell 250 other people, who will in turn do same. (word of mouth), and that to us will bring us repeat business.
Won't it be a good idea to use our service to get your facts before embarking on a 24hour flight?

@ Angeleyess,
You know you you have some doubts about your internet lover.
You can protect your payment to us for our services by using Paypal or www.escrow.com
when we complete your work satisfactorily, only then should you release payment if using escrow services.

angeleyes: I am an Australian too, I live in Sydney. I married an Nigerian woman after i met her online, The best thing i've ever done! we are so happy now together.
About our "strict laws" it is almost too easy for a Nigerian to come to Australia, since both countries are part of the Commonwealth it is very easy to get the papers, i didn't even had to send a leter of invitation. She booked a hotel she went to the australian embassy in Abuja and she got a stamp in her passport within 2 hours.
And the same with me, I went to the Nigerian Embassy in Canberra and and i just had to fill a form and i was able to travel to Nigeria. The two way flight was 2000 AUD so not too expensive for love. and even the marriage in Lagos was wonderful, all went fine. And we are happy together in Sydney now.
If he really love you it will not be a big problem for hime to come over. but please don't send him money for the flight, if you wanna pay the flight for him just bye the flight for him and send him an e-ticket. And your love will work out fine.
Wish you all the best!

angeleyes: If you wanna go for sure if he is real or not just do the same like i did before i asked my wife to come to Australia. Let him go to an Office you trust not to a "100% real institution" let him just go to the Australian Embassy in Abuja. Wherever he lives a flight will not be more tat 22,000 Naira or a bus for 8,000 Naira and he can go with his papers to the Embassy in Abuja. They will check if his papers are real, they will tell you if he is married or not, if you want he can even come there with his family to check if they are for real too. The embassy was really a big help and like i said before it was the best thing i ever did.
Wish you all the best

hi chris
when i when to see the travel agent they said I need quite a few things and it was not that easy for me to get a visa
*proof of funding and financial support
*proof of travel (return ticket and travel itinerary)
*a letter of invitation from a host (which included immigration responsibility while i was in nigeria)copy of his first 5 pages of his passport (already have)a letter from his employer and a copy of resident permit (??)
*church registration certificate if visiting a church
*International certificate of vaccination for yellow fever
so you are saying the embassy here can check the paper work i have from him and that we do not need all of the above to get my visa plus they can check if hes married and if ok for me to go ahead and marry him
As his lawyer said it would cost him money for the letters and resident permit
and then we have to wait 21 day after placing ads and other checks.
I am more that willing to go to him but I would like to know if his lawyer is riping him off
Plus i saw a imagration lawyer here who said that it will cost around 3000 aus to apply for is visa to come here as my husband
Just what ive been told it does not seam that easy
Any further help would be great as I sick of paying lawyers if not needed

@ Me.
If you send your bank statements to someone you've not met before, just believe you're toast.
@ Chris, Lucky for you. I would like to believe you did not encounter a scammer in your wife, hence the reason it all went well that ends well.
if she was someone with a scammers mindset, who wasn't determined to get married but to scam, you wouldn't be happy on here. Thats the difference.

Hi All... wow.. great to read so many comment..I too am in love with a 9ja man who is in Lagos..been communicating just over 12mths now. He wanted to come here and i found that there was alot of paperwork for just a tourist visa. We then decided that i go to him but i am now at a loss cos i hear bad reports about getting a visa for 9ja from the Canberra embassy. And then, if i stay in hotel, he is welcome there but cannot use facilties. For Angeleyees, if u have seen him on skype, talked on fone, know absoloutely wat u can and ur heart still goes "yeah" then follow ur heart. I have never been outside of australia, but i need to take this step..I talk to so many 9ja ppl, and u soon learn who is for real and who is just on the want. IF you are on facebook, search for the NIgerian society in ur city. Not all 9ja are bad.

I just read Angeleyess' story and would like to find out if she did go to Nigeria to meet her man and how it turned out. Angeleyess your story is very similar to mine. I met a Nigerian man on internet and has communicated with him via webcam,skype, and chat everynite for almost 12 months. I am planning to go there in six month time to meet him and get marry so I can sponsor him back to Australia as my husband. Please if you have been there, done that..... give me some advise and tips. I don't really want to be disappointed when I got there. Many thanks.

The only advise I could give to everyone is not to trust everything people says on internet. It is not possible to fall in love with someone without seeing that person first. You need to know if you will like each other, go one step at the time. I almost got scammed and I have been very lucky to have found out this site. I felt that this guy was moving way too fast for me. Thank you so much guys for all the postings I found about him. We need to be careful and look out for one another. There are good people but it is not the case for everyone. I read some sad stories and yes money has a lot of power. Good thing I don`t have much! This time i can say it saved me.

I would like to add that I met a man in Lagos Nigeria on a dating site. He has asked me to marry him; and we have been communicating every day. I had planned to go visit him in September; however, I have not received my passport because of having the wrong birth certificate. I submitted another one from Vital Statistics. Hopefully, this is the correct one and I will receive my passport. Then, I have to get the visa to visit Nigeria. I am planning on having all this done by the middle of October. I have already paid for my plane ticket to go and see my future husband. I am nervous; but he has convinced me that he will protect me while I am there. I have been told to contact the Nigerian Embassy to let them know that you are visiting before going to Nigeria. I know that there are a lot of scams in Nigeria, but I love this guy and he love me. So, I will post in October how my visit went.

You ladies are dumb, I'm sorry to be so frank about it. I'm Nigerian and I know many guys that sit around with a laptop or at a computer cafe and chat with many woman overseise, particularly white woman. The main goal is to get as much money from yall in the name of love and sad stories as possible. You will hear sob stories about family members having cancer and dying, and being the sole breadwinner of a 20 children household and so forth. American women watch too many disney love stories and Oprah that all you need to hear is "LOVE" and you belief it. This love word has your mind f'd up. Once again I am sorry to be so frank. think about the last man you talked to on the web from nigeria, how long did he take to tell you he loved you very much? I'm going to take a wild guess and say within the first few days. Does this not raise a red flag? I'm not saying don't find love in Nigeria but don't make yourself a MUGU/DUMMY. Never send anything personal such as credit card number SSN or things along that line to someone you just met over the net. especially some one who is in a different continent. Do not travel there to meet the guy because it is extremely dangerous, trust me. If anything, make him come to you. you do not want to risk going to a place where you don't speak or understand their languages. Also keep in mind that the police system is very weak. They will not protect you once bribed by the other guys. many guys are jobless in nigeria so this is the source of income, to con innocent woman looking for Love. I am a nigerian who reside in TX but i know many people back in Nigeria that do this as business. love for you but income for him/her. PLEASE BE ADVISED, PROCEED WITH CAUTION. google i go chop your dollar

; I would advise you not to travel to Nigeria alone, meeting someone you have never met before in Nigeria. I am a born Nigeria but reside in the UK since the age of 12, I am aware of the current condition in Nigeria.. there are alot of things you need to take into account. I also met a lot of Nigerian men giving false hope and details to innocent women as yourself.
The condition in Nigeria is purly not safe for a Nigerian let alone an Aussie woman, so many things to worry about, bad water, Healthcare, just incase you fall ill while out there, transportation, Crime rate, Electricity... Nigeria is a country filled with corruption, lawless system that plays unfairness to the poor. the condition of the accommodation you will be staying in while out there.
Just because its worked for other people doesnt mean it will work for you, be careful.... there was a recent story about a Canadian lady that went back to Nigeria for the first time to marry her internet sweetheart, stayed in Nigeria for 2 Months and never made it back to Canada, she dead of some sort of virus, and wasnt treated appropriately while in the hospital..
Her body was flown back to Canada, but her Nigerian's husbands concern was that he wasnt going to get his residence, so at first he held her body hostage for months before the canadian authorities interceded.

Dear all, I'm an Australian woman married with a Nigerian man three weeks ago in Lagos. We met each other on online dating. After dating for a few months, I decided to go to Nigeria to visit him. Everyone here is reacted about my decision going to Nigeria and they advised me not to go Nigeria based on unsafety reason in Nigeria. However, I follow my heart saying if I want to find the truth of our relationship, I should go my self to Nigeria. I'm giving him the three criterias that he should show to me. As he is a fashion designer, he made clothes, I asked him to make a gown for me, his passport and a Nigeria SIM card. Yes, he made me a gown, in fact he made a beautiful wedding gown. I landed in Lagos a day before Chrismas day and two days later we decided to get marriage and went through the wedding consultation at the registrar office at Ikoyri, Lagos. As both of us never married before, we need to approve it to them. My husband would have to show them the letter to prove that he is single and never married before. All went through well and we married on 4 Jan 2012. I'm blessed to know him, his family, his friends. Every night we have a prayer meeting. In the morning and before sleep my husband and me praying together to give thanks and blessing upon our relation ship. Now, I flew back to Melbourne and leaving my husband in Nigeria. He has to stay as he is now starting to prepare his Australian application. We hope any one who can suggest us the best way to get my husband to Australia. It is much appreciated. Thank you.

To whom it concern,
Especially to someone who is planning to go to Nigeria, please make sure you prepare everything with the listed below:
1. Make sure you have the visa to Nigeria
Normally it's a bit difficult to get the visa unless the invitation letter provided is truth.
2. Make sure you get vassination at least five injections as what I did.
3. Please stay inside the airport and wait until someone coming to see you and please make sure he/she brought something that can be identified by you. Don't leave the airport because you may got shocking with lot of people on the street looking for money.
4. If no one come to fetch you, please make sure that ur phone is contactable with Nigeria line. Please use the SIM Traveller, you can get from the post office or from their website.
5. Please make sure your phone is fully charged
6. If she/he is for you, she/he will send someone to fetch you in the airport as from my experience.
7. Please make sure you bring enough cash because Nigeria is a cash trading
8. If you found out something wrong or no one there, please make sure you book the hotel and the trustful taxi at the airport and don't ever leave airport before you have done all.
Finally all the best and Enjoy your days down there. Lagos is actually a lovely place to visit.

Hi William, I disagree with your opinion. Not every Nigerians are scammers or bad people. I believe every country produce bad and good people. I had seen with my own eyes the young people there are very obedience to the old people. They will bow down their head or even their body when they visit the old people from their relatives. My husband family will bown down their body and kiss their parents feet when they just come back from travelling. Not only my husband family but his friends do the same way to their parents. If you know them well, they will treat you as a part of their family. Cheers.

What should one do if people go out to congregate for salaat il-istisqa' (prayer asking for rain) and it rains?
If the people went out for the prayer for rain (istisqa') or intended to do so and it rained, then there can be two cases:If they were prepared to go out and it rained before they left, then they should thank Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) for His blessings and not leave. If they had already come out, they should pray in thankfulness to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala). (Al-Mughni, 2/296)

In 2012, Goss finished his first Rutgers season as the only freshman to start all 15 games. He totaled 20 points on 11 goals and 9 assists. The midfielder collected 16 groundballs on the year and was named to the BIG EAST weekly honor roll on April 16.

Cyclones coach Armando Espinosa was impressed with Langhorst's play.
"I couldn't be happier for her in her senior year," Espinosa said. "Against a big in-state rival, it's great to see her fight through the first set. She stuck with it, and she knew what she needed to do."

Because of the Boston Marathon bombings, Red White & Boom! will have a beefed-up security detail.
Because of the Boston Marathon bombings, Red White & Boom! will have a beefed-up security detail.
For starters, there will be a 10- to 15-percent increase in local law enforcement and federal plainclothes agents patrolling the downtown area, said Mike Collins, president of Promotions One, the firm that puts on the Independence Day celebration.
Also, for the first time, the city will flip the switch on up to 40 security cameras being installed downtown where major events take place: in the areas of North Bank and Genoa parks, Marconi and Civic Center drives, and Broad and Front streets.
"I think it's brought a different level of attention and care and safety to outdoor events of all sorts across the country," Collins said of the April 15 bombings that killed three spectators and injured nearly 300 people.
"And I think Columbus is responding exceptionally well by adding the instruments that can be helpful to security and safety."
Within 48 hours of the Boston bombing, Collins said he met with Columbus Safety Director Mitchell Brown, who relayed the new action plan.
"He was very clear where we were going as a result of this, very clear," Collins said.
"The reality is with this year's event, in light of what happened in Boston, we're asking people to be more vigilant and aware of their surroundings," said Amanda Ford, spokeswoman for public safety.
Upwards of 250,000 spectators are expected at the 33rd annual event, which will be held from noon to 11 p.m. July 3.
"People need to feel safe," Collins said.
"This is going to be as safe as it's ever been," he said. "Second, people need to be attentive. If you see something, say something."
Per the event's annual custom, which began in 2006, officials will run canine and visual sweeps of all food vendors and automobiles in the Red White & Boom perimeter, which is roughly bounded by Vine, Front, Bell and Main streets, a 14-square-block area that occupies both sides of the Scioto River.
Collins said event organizers have streamlined communications between staff, safety officials and security headquarters. In addition, local volunteers and staff will undergo additional training.
New this year, if coolers, folding chairs, backpacks, tents and other portable items are left unattended, they will be confiscated, Collins said.
"This is going to be treated like the airport," he said.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Blackberry, Rosemary, and Yogurt Popsicles
- Amanda
Kids like to witness transformation, which is why they enjoy baking so much. Blobs of dough turn into round cookies. And batters rise to lofty cakes. So when I'm cooking with my kids, I try to focus on recipes that will completely change from start to finish.
But I was not about to turn on the oven last weekend; it was the freezer's turn in the spotlight. Mission: popsicles. First a layer of blackberry and blueberry puree, sweetened with rosemary syrup (leftover from piccantedolce's Boozy Watermelon Rosemary Lemonade). After a few hours in the freezer, we topped the fruit with a layer of yogurt sweetened with vanilla sugar. A few hours more and we had torpedo-shaped treats. And the three of us sat on the floor of the magical kitchen, eating our popsicles.
Blackberry, Rosemary, and Yogurt Popsicles
Makes 6 popsicles
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries
- 1 cup Greek or European style whole milk yogurt
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vanilla sugar (or sugar plus 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract)
See the full recipe (and save and print it) here.

Illustration Friday & Sketchbook Project — First Kiss Illustration in Color
First the kiss, then the flowers Afterwards. You may remember this from my Sketchbook Project. I've been wanting to make it into a full color illustration ever since I finished the sketch. I purposely used a limited palette on this one. This illo was colored with my usual Caran d'ache watercolor pencils on toned paper, clipped and collaged using Dioma Paper Textures in Photoshop.
This print is now available in my shop.

An Islamic-advocacy group linked to terrorism is launching a public-relations campaign to argue that jihad doesn't mean Islamic holy war, but instead a "concerted effort … with the purpose of getting to a better place."
However, the campaign, which is being launched Dec. 14 by an affiliate of the Council on American Islamic Relations, isn't a formal religious declaration by United States or Arab Islamic authorities, and it does clash with orthodox judgments dating back 1,400 years to the beginning of Islam.
"It is [public] education about what we believe," said Ahmed Rehab, who serves as the founder of the project, head of CAIR's Chicago affiliate and CAIR's strategic communications chief.
The views of jihad groups, Salafi activists in Egypt and of the Arab world's leading preacher, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, "are not the entirety of the story," Rehab told The Daily Caller on Thursday.
Those orthodox views of jihad as warfare to spread Islam are being championed by a new wave of Islamic revivalists — including numerous jihadi groups, such as the "Jamaat al-Tawhid wa'l-Jihad" terror group in the Gaza strip.
They also are being pushed by Qaradawi, whose weekly radio show has a claimed audience of 60 million. In 2011, he was invited by the dominant Islamic group in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, to give a speech to thousands of Islamist supporters in downtown Cairo.
"I have hope that Almighty Allah … will also please me with the conquest of the al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem, Israel]. … May Allah prepare the way for us to preach in the al-Aqsa Mosque in safety!" he declared.
In contrast, Rehab's "MyJihad" public-relations campaign portrays jihad as "a concerted and noble effort against injustice, hate, misunderstanding, war, violence, poverty, hunger, abuse or whatever challenge big or small we face in daily life, with the purpose of getting to a better place," according to the campaign's website, MyJihad.org.
The campaign will include testimonials, op-eds, bus advertising and visits to mosques, Rehab said.
"This is a whitewash," charged Robert Spencer, the author of several books about orthodox Islam.
Jihad, Spencer said, in Islamic texts "as well as in Islamic law, has always borne the primary meaning of warfare against unbelievers in order to affect their subjugation under Sharia."

HOUSTON - An investigation spanning nearly two years leads to criminal charges against a Houston attorney, chiropractor and a third man.
Detectives with the Houston Police Department's Major Offenders division said the investigation was launched because of a tip regarding questionable insurance claims.
"We had numerous referrals involving this provider and attorney," said Louis Campbell, a supervisory agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
"And referrals mean?" asked Local 2 investigator Robert Arnold.
"Referrals being questionable activity," Campbell said.
Campbell said officials with the NICB then contacted the Houston Police Department and Harris County District Attorney's Office. Police said the investigation began with undercover detectives identifying and approaching a man by the name of Yosef Gebremicael. Court documents obtained by Local 2 state Gebremicael was a "runner." Court records describe a runner as "a person who acts as a solicitor for personal injury attorneys and medical treatment providers."
With hidden cameras rolling, two detectives approached Gebremicael posing as two people who had been involved in a hit-and-run accident and were looking to "make some money," according to court documents.
Police gave Local 2 copies of excerpts of the hidden camera footage taken during the course of the investigation.
The first meeting between Gebremicael and the detectives took place inside a car in the parking lot of a southwest Houston gas station.
"Has the insurance fixed your car yet, or no?" Gebremicael is heard asking the detectives on the video.
"No," the officer said.
"Not yet?" Gebremicael asked.
"No," the officer said.
According to court records, during this meeting, Gebremicael had what appeared to be "paperwork" for Houston attorney, Patricia Azinge, and chiropractor, Omid Soltani.
"The doctor got to have some paper like this, I'll fill it out for you," Gebremicael is heard telling the detectives.
"You just need to visit the doctor one time," Gebremicael is heard telling the detectives late in the conversation.
"That's all?" the officer asked.
"Yeah, unless you need treatment," said Gebremicael.
"Cool," the officer said.
"When you sign the papers you act like you been there 20, 30 times. It don't matter, but you got to go there and sign the paper one time," Gebremicael is heard telling the officers.
"Oh, OK," the officer said.
"That way he can tell you what kind of treatment you been getting," said Gebremicael.
Police said they then visited Soltani and filled out paperwork. From there detectives said they met with Azinge to file an insurance claim. Undercover video shows Azinge sat with the officer as he filed his claim over the phone with an insurance adjuster.
"Did you use insurance? Did you send a bill to your home?" the adjuster is heard asking the officer while Azinge can be seen shaking her head no.
Court records read Azinge "assisted and coached" the undercover detective during the phone call. Detectives said the insurance adjuster on the phone was aware an undercover operation was taking place.
"How's your pain level before you went to the chiro? What would you say your pain level was then?" the adjuster is heard asking the detective.
Before the officer answered the question, Azinge is seen on the video appearing to hold up her fingers to indicate a number to the officer.
"Before, probably about a seven or eight," the officer answered.
The video then showed what appeared to be Azinge smiling and giving the officer a high-five. Court records read Azinge then filed a more than $36,000 insurance claim asking for "attorney fees," "medical expenses" and "pain and suffering."
Just before police finished their undercover work, they paid Soltani one last visit. Detectives said they went back to Soltani pretending to want to be a part of future insurance claims.
"I just wanted to make sure you know I'm cool," the detective is heard telling Soltani during a meeting at his clinic.
"You got be careful who you bring in," Soltani is heard telling the officer.
"So I just bring everybody to you?" the officer then asked.
"Yeah, that way if I get a percentage from that attorney I sent to them, I'll say, 'Hey, you take your percentage,'" said Soltani.
Immediately following this meeting with the undercover detective, Soltani was arrested and charged with insurance fraud.
Local 2 tried to speak with Soltani.
"You don't want to answer any questions? You don't want to respond to the charges against you?" Arnold asked.
"Not right now," Soltani said.
Gebremicael was also charged with insurance fraud. His attorney, Feroz Merchant, declined comment on his client's behalf.
Azinge was charged with barratry, which is defined under the law as illegal solicitation of clients.
"Would you like to respond to the allegations that have been made against you?" Arnold asked Azinge following her recent court appearance.
"Not at this time," said Azinge.
Azinge's attorney also declined comment. All three cases are being handled by a special prosecutor with the Texas Department of Insurance, which has been permanently assigned to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
"Fraud affects everyone," prosecutor Jesse McClure told Local 2 Investigates.
McClure spoke in generalities rather than specifically about the cases against Azinge, Soltani and Gebremicael. McClure said TDI decided to assign him the District Attorney's Office since insurance fraud has become such a problem in Harris County. McClure said there is also a special prosecutor based in Dallas and San Antonio.
"Unfortunately, we have a lot of medical providers and, unfortunately, a lot of attorneys who are all too willing to participate in this kind of fraud," said McClure.
The NICB reports that Harris County is fourth in country when it comes to fraudulent claims filed regarding vehicle accidents. Campbell said insurance companies Farmers, The Hartford, Geico, Nationwide and Texas Farm Bureau lent resources and helped with the investigation involving Azinge, Soltani and Gebremicael.
The NICB estimated that people pay an average of $360 a year extra in premiums to cover the cost of fraudulent claims.

Google continues to amaze with its mapping efforts, now updating its service with more than 9,500 pictures of the Grand Canyon.
Coming as part of Google Trekker, a highly ambitious foot-based Street View project, the Grand Canyon is only the start of Google's plans.
The Trekker back packs use the same 360-degree panoramic camera techniques you find on Street View cars. The idea is that wherever the backpacks go, Google can build a Street View image.
Google also has trikes and snowmobiles working to map out areas of the wilderness where traditional transport can't reach.
It's an impressive feat for sure and the Grand Canyon pictures are absolutely stunning. There is more than 75 miles worth of Canyon mapped out.
This is only the start of Google's plans to map the world. Just recently Street View went underwater, and Google is even starting on mapping out parts of North Korea, an area traditionally exempt from the world's maps.

below is from a Scammer! Some of the emails
may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same
thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money
order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will
ask you to send them back the difference in money. A
couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and
the bank will take it out of your account. This scam
can be set up several ways.
key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

Walking around the halls of the 2011 EICMA show, I saw this concept for an MV Agusta tourer sitting in the Motociclismo booth, and wondered what was the story behind the bike. Luckily the internet has answers for such questions, and it turns out that the MV Agusta Tricruiser is the brainchild of students at Istituto Europeo di Design of Turin (IED).
Using the MV Agusta F3 as a starting point, the graduate students at IED set out to envision the next iteration in MV Agusta's smaller-displacement platform. With the Italian company under tremendous pressure to become profitable, MV Agusta must increase its volume by a factor greater than 10x if it wants to see blank ink on its balance sheet.
Accordingly, the company from Varese has been making a bevy of variations of its F4-based models, showing three new Brutale street-nakeds at EICMA (Brutale 920, Brutale R 1090, & Brutale RR 1090) at ECIMA, along with two F4 superbikes (F4R & F4RR).
Slotting in a smaller-displacement and cheaper-price point model series that is based off a 675cc three-cylinder motor, MV Agusta also showed its F3 supersport and its corresponding Brutale 675 street-naked at EIMCA this year. While compelling pieces, MV Agusta will surely need more models in its arsenal if it wants to achieve its financial goals, and the next MV Agusta is heavily rumored to be a sport-touring/adventure model.

If your site uses Administrators Reference, you can optionally produce additional log files by creating a custom-application.cfm file in the root directory of your site and defining the following variables:
request.site.generalSettings.static_log [value = 0 (off) 10 (standard) 20 (verbose)] - To produce or suppress generation of {datestamp}-static.log in the /commonspot/logs directory use the following options:
0 = off (no log)
10 = standard (logs out status for how many pages are left to be processed)
20 = verbose (logs each page processed with a timestamp for how long it took to generate and page status (static or dynamic). This option adds pageIDs that still need updating to the job status information.
request.site.generalSettings.logStaticSiteChange [value = 1(on) 0(off)] - When active, this variable enables a new log {datestamp}-staticstatechange.log in the /commonspot/logs directory. The staticstatechange.log contains an entry for each processed page whose status has changed from either static to dynamic or dynamic to static.
Each entry lists the name and relative path of the changed file, its pageID, current status and former status. The log also contains a stack trace to help determine what process (authoring, background job, or Page Properties) caused page status change.
Request.site.generalSettings.logLinkUpdate [value = 1 (on) 0 (off)] - When active, runs a process to identify links for all affected pages whenever page status changes from static to dynamic (or vice versa).

Talking to a colleague the other day, we came to a frank discussion about how the European motorcycle brands weathered the recession better when compared to their Japanese counterparts.
While there are many factors at play in this statement, there is at least a component of truth to the idea that strong brand integration helped spur the Europeans into setting record months, quarters, and years during a global economic downturn, while companies like Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha saw their businesses virtually collapse.
It is not that the Japanese manufacturers don't have strong brands, it is just that their brands stand for something fundamentally different from those being forged by the Europeans.
While companies like Ducati, KTM, and Triumph are building entire communities and lifestyles around their motorcycles (hat tip to Harley-Davidson for showing them how), the Japanese continue to hang their hats on the attributes of their products.
Well-engineered, bulletproof, and relatively cheap, Japanese motorcycles tick all the right boxes when one is objectively measuring a motorcycle, but they are sufficiently lacking when it comes to creating lasting ties to their owners.

It is unique concentration of expertise, an astonishing alchemy that draws on the hand, the head and the heart. And while it derives its strength from its origins and traditions, it has always looked to the future through aesthetic and technical innovation. It is both timeless and contemporary precisely because it must anticipate or follow the spirit of the times.
The FHH has set itself four objectives:
1. Inform watch connoisseurs and devotees
2. Inspire vocations and arouse a passionate interest in watchmaking
3. Affirm its role as a "Think Tank" for the Fine Watch industry

The Office of Disability Services (ODS) serves students with a broad range of long-term or permanent disabilities, including:
- hearing loss/deafness
- mobility impairments
- visual impairments
- chronic medical conditions (e.g. asthma, diabetes, seizure disorders)
- learning disabilities (LD)
- attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- psychological disabilities
- substance abuse/recovery
- students with temporary disabilities of two weeks duration or more (e.g. hospitalization, accident, illness)
The Office of Disability Services (ODS) recognizes that the decision to self-identify any disability is a personal one and we respect a student's decision not to do so. We do however, encourage all students with visible or non-visible disabilities, such as learning disabilities or chronic medical conditions, to self-identify and to register with ODS. This should be done as early as possible: during the admissions process, upon arrival at College, or immediately following diagnosis or injury. Information provided to the Student Health Service is confidential and is not forwarded to ODS.
All students with either permanent or temporary disabilities who wish to register for services are required to have appropriate disability-related documentation on file in ODS. If partial or outdated documentation is provided, provisional services (for up to one semester only) may be granted, however, only approved on a case by case basis. We will discuss disability-related needs regarding academic accommodations including nonstandard test-taking arrangements as well as other aspects of a student's life at Barnard or in the community.
Barnard students with disabilities who need nonstandard administration of quizzes or exams may receive disability-related exam accommodations including extended time, assistive technology, use of aids and environmental adjustments (e.g. - separate exam location). Students are required to register with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) and provide appropriate disability-related documentation.

Award Announcement
Acceptance Speech
Op-Ed by Foundation CEO John Shattuck
Remarks by Senator Edward M. Kennedy
In January 2004, while serving with the 372nd Military Police Company in Iraq, Joseph M. Darby, then an Army Specialist, anonymously turned in to Army investigators a fellow soldier's photographs depicting members of his unit taking part in the torture and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison.
Darby's tip calling attention to the abuse at Abu Ghraib resulted in an Army investigation into policies and practices at the prison. Several months later, when news and photographs of the abuse were published in American news media, his actions became the spark that ignited a firestorm
of global outrage at the United States.
Darby's act of conscience, widely chronicled in news reports, came after weeks of struggle over what to do about the photographs he'd discovered. His decision to turn in the pictures pitted him against his friends and fellow soldiers; in testimony before a military court proceeding for one member of his former unit, Darby told Army prosecutors his decision was a "moral call."
While Darby was cheered in some quarters, his actions were met with ambivalence and even scorn in others. People in his hometown told the news media he was a "rat" and suggested he might be responsible for the violent deaths of other Americans in retaliation for what had been exposed at Abu Ghraib. Darby was himself the target of death threats, and he and his wife were forced to move out of their home and into protective custody for a time.
Joseph Darby still serves in the United States Army, where he was recently promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
For the example he set of valor and courage in American public life, Joseph Darby was honored with the 2005 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.

This is going to be a "drive by" post because I'm in the midst of preparing a rather unusual post (for me anyway:) and I'm still working on it. I'll give you a little hint by telling you it has something to do with wishing my Chinese visitors a Happy New Year!!!
In the meantime, rather than have this delicious cake go stale, I thought I would drop off just one sliver. Since my photography skills have not improved in the new year, I'm also including "their" pro image:) I adapted this recipe for Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting from The Land of Lakes Recipe Collection booklet published in 2005.
The cake was absolutely delicious. I was a bit worried it may be too peanut buttery so I used only 1/2 cup peanut butter. (It was also all I had:) Marion loved it!!! It came out sort of fudgy like a brownie but thicker and gooeier (is that a word?) Marion and I both decided it probably would have been better to make one layer and freeze the other but too late now!!!
I hope to see you all in a few days with the "mysterious" post. Don't forget National Peanut Brittle Day on January 26th. Here's a recipe from The Peanut Butter Cookbook by Judi & Tony Meisel. (©1993)

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The Beaumont Independent School District is now being forced to address an official state investigation into allegations of misdealings and mismanagement. The school district was notified by an investigator from the TEA (Texas Education Agency) on Friday, June 14, that the administration of BISD will face tough scrutiny in the coming weeks and months.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Skip to comments.Schizophrenia as Misstep by Giant Gene
Posted on 04/17/2006 8:06:10 PM PDT by neverdem
Researchers have made progress in understanding how a variant gene linked to schizophrenia may exert its influence in the brain. The findings are tentative but, if confirmed, could yield deep insights into the biological basis of the disease.
The gene, called neuregulin-1, was first implicated in schizophrenia in 2002 by DeCode Genetics, a Reykjavik company that looks for the genetic roots of common diseases...
But how the variant form of the gene contributed to the disease was far from clear, in part because even the normal gene's function is far from understood. A team led by Amanda J. Law of the University of Oxford in England and Daniel R. Weinberger of the National Institutes of Health has now developed clues as to how the gene may go wrong.
Neuregulin is one of about 10 genes so far linked to schizophrenia. It plays many different roles in the brain, some concerned with synapses, the interconnections between neurons, so derangements of its function are a plausible source of schizophrenia. It is a long road, however, from knowing a variant gene is linked with a disease to understanding the biology of how the disease is caused.
The problem is particularly daunting with neuregulin. It is one of the largest genes in the human genome, sprawling over some 1,125,000 units of DNA, and it generates at least six types of protein through a procedure known as alternative splicing, in which different components of the gene are mixed and matched so that each set specifies a different protein.
Adding to the complexity, the variant stretch of DNA that DeCode linked to schizophrenia does not lie in the neuregulin gene itself but just upstream of it, meaning that it presumably affects not the actual proteins produced by the gene but the way the gene is controlled.

ME did i see red i have the most precious cargo on board and this fool nearly wiped us all out in turn to his actions i was right up his behind so i backed off with my full beam on pointing my finger for him to pull over did he no so i got the wife to call the police and reported the idiot end for dangerous driving and the police have informed us they will be prosecuting him for dangerous driving as they also received a call from another concerned motorist so be aware drive with care

Dolor sit amet
- Brand: Canon
- Product Code: Product 3
- Availability: In Stock
- Ex Tax: $80.00
Product Description
Canon's press material for the EOS 5D states that it 'defines (a) new D-SLR category', while we're not typically too concerned with marketing talk this particular statement is clearly pretty accurate. The EOS 5D is unlike any previous digital SLR in that it combines a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8 megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger than the EOS 20D, although in your hand it feels noticeably 'chunkier'). The EOS 5D is aimed to slot in between the EOS 20D and the EOS-1D professional digital SLR's, an important difference when compared to the latter is that the EOS 5D doesn't have any environmental seals. While Canon don't specifically refer to the EOS 5D as a 'professional' digital SLR it will have obvious appeal to professionals who want a high quality digital SLR in a body lighter than the EOS-1D. It will also no doubt appeal to current EOS 20D owners (although lets hope they've not bought too many EF-S lenses...)
