888 are much talked about and rightly so. Read any 888 casino review, there are of a multitude of them to choose from, and it will probably say the same as every other one. Top end online casino, very much a leader not a follower. Staying power is what will stand you out from the crowd and with nearly 20 years under their belt and 20 million users, the proof is plain to see. Trade awards don't not mean much to the average Joe but to industry insiders they carry a bit more clout. 888 wins awards regularly. The 888 casino online is a part of a larger group covering all aspects of the online gambling experience. They are part and parcel of Cassava Enterprises renowned software developers, and management systems produced by them power a lot of gaming sites.
Playing Here Is A Bonus
The 888 casino bonus package when signing up is a very normal 100% deposit match up to £100. The x30 wagering requirement seems a little high until you look further and it's only on the deposit not the sum of deposit and bonus. This is not the norm and actually makes the bonus quite attractive relatively. 888 have a high roller welcome bonus called the 'Premium Player' and have a no deposit bonus which is rare. The 'refer a friend' bonus is becoming more popular and 888 were one of the first to use it. Not only first, but at £100 per person referred one of the highest too. Frequent promotions come via your e-mail usually free spins on a new slot. As long as you can live with the wagering requirements the bonus offerings are regular and pretty good. As with all casino bonuses you can opt out of receiving them and not get wrapped up in all the maths trying to work out if they are any good or not. They are after all marketing strategies designed to get you to part with more cash.
Deposit And Cashout Is Easy At 888 Casino Online
Living in the UK has its ups and downs. Totally regulated online gambling is a definite up. Because there are no crazy laws governing banking transactions with online casinos, it means that UK players have the widest choice of payment methods. 888 take good advantage of this and offer a wide choice. The usual debit and credit cards, wire transfer, e-wallets, pre-paid cards are all there. Having PayPal onboard is a great endorsement, they carry out their own vetting and will suspend accounts with casinos if wrongdoing is found out. As expected with a casino that been online for so long payouts are quick and painless. Certified by eCOGRA and regular published audits of their games payouts by independent labs is another reassuring fact.
Selected Games But Quality At 888 Online Casino
888 online casino is an easy to navigate site with some good games in its stable. With a little over 200 games they will not win any prizes for quantity, the games they have however play very well. Using a number of different developers including one of their own companies, the games available work together so well you would think they came from just one. Large jackpots can be won with regular £2M+ being scooped from slot games. There are enough versions of roulette and blackjack to satisfy anybodies cravings. 888 casino can be played as an instant version with very little load times. Or as a download which is just that bit better. Both however have great interfaces and the gameplay is great. 888 have the free play option for most of their games so you can try before you buy, which is always a good thing.
Other Casinos Reviews
888 Casino Mobile And Really Very Good
One of the standout features of 888 is their mobile offering. They may not have as many games as some on their desktop site but their mobile version actually has more than most. Over 100 games are available on the mobile site. Log straight in from your Android or iOS browser and the games are almost instant. Load time is at a minimum. Fast as the browser version is the download app is obviously faster. If you have plenty of space on your hard drive why not have the app. But to be fair the browser version is more than good enough. Graphics, audio and gameplay are just as good as the desktop version.
Get The Real Deal At 888 Live Casino
The live dealer experience is a growing trend and 888 are firmly at the front of the pack. A slightly more relaxed atmosphere than most the dealers are friendly and none too shabby on the eyes. The number of games available to play are growing quite quickly. The whole genre started with just roulette, blackjack and baccarat being offered, now 888 have live casino hold'em, 'Immersive Roulette', 'Sports Roulette', 'London Roulette' VIP roulette, VIP blackjack and blackjack 'Side bets'. 888 have truly embraced the format and it is great to see more games becoming available. It's exciting and very good for the industry. The software powering the live dealer set up is excellent. The interface is intuitive and the relaxed feel to the casino makes you want to play there. It really is a bravo to 888 their live casino is in the top 3 for sure.

I am not a fruit eater. I like berries and the rest I like in a pie. That's about it. But I decide I have to try an orange straight off the tree. So I go out and pick one and bring it back to the kitchen and slice it into segments. It's so incredibly juicy that I have to eat it over the sink. And the taste is like no orange I have ever had... sweet and full of flavour.
Today the plan is to head over to the huge outlet mall for more last minute shopping with Nelson. I don't really have anything I need to buy, although Michael mentioned getting my gift there today so now I am thinking I need to buy everyone a gift. But I have no idea what everyone likes, I just met them all. And I don't want to blow through the money I have. I don't know what to do so I decide to go and just see when I get there. Even if I don't buy anything, apparently it's worth going just to see how huge it is.
I drive and Nelson figures out the route there on the GPS that Bob has loaned me for the duration of my stay. It's pretty much a straight line on one road between where I am staying and Ron's place, but the first time he tried to explain it to me, I was already confused... I get turned around so easily. So Bob took his GPS out of his truck and now I have it and it's been great. I love those things. I used one in my rental car in Florida to find my way to Key Largo and it took all the stress out of the drive. I hate driving somewhere I haven't been before if I am alone.
We get there in short order and Nelson is dying for a coffee so we hit Starbucks first and sit outside in the sunshine and chat for a bit. He is eager to get going so we agree to meet back in two hours and he heads off. I stay for a while longer to soak up some sunshine. It's December 24th and here I sit in nothing but jeans, a tank top and a light sweater and I am warm. Amazing.
The outlet mall is HUGE. It is spread across a couple of roads and is the size of three big malls. I wander from store to store, trying to figure out what I would buy everyone. I am not making any headway. Then I go into a large kitchen shop, Le Gourmet Chef, that has a lot of gourmet food. There are samples to try and I find a couple of dips that are out of this world. One in particular. So I decide to buy some dips and a huge bag of gourmet pretzel sticks, and take that to Ron's for everyone to eat tonight. That will be my gift. I love the idea. That done, I wander about the shops some more but I am really not into it. I hate shopping, to tell the truth. I am the sort that goes when I know what I need - make a beeline for where I can get it - and then get out. I find it exhausting to browse and after an hour I am pretty much done. Today is no different. As I am thinking I will head back to that bench in the sunshine, I run into Shaw and Brian. Shaw joins me and I tell him I would like to find a bookstore (as I am thinking I would still like to get something for Michael and I know just the book) so we scout around with no success and finally go into a store to ask where to find one. Turns out there are no bookstores here. Wow. Hundreds upon hundreds of shops and not one bookstore? Apparently there used to be one a couple of years ago but it closed down. What a sad commentary that is on the American lifestyle. We wander about some more and I can't believe that I am in the company of this incredibly handsome man and I am enjoying it while it lasts. Although, I figure everyone is thinking, what is SHE doing with HIM. They probably think he's my son. I hate being old.
All too soon Shaw is wanting to find some jeans so he goes off on his own and I go to the bench in the sunshine. I buy a cinnamon pretzel and go get my water bottle from the car and sit down. Little birds suddenly join me, all about my feet, and I realize they are eying my pretzel so I toss bits of it to them between bites. They end up getting almost as much of it as I do.
I get a text from Nelson saying he will be another hour. I can't stay here another hour. I want to get back so I text him and say I am done. He texts back and says he will catch a ride with Michael and Brian so I am free to go. I head back to Palm Springs and stop at the Visitors Center. I want to see some of the homes owned by the stars in years gone by and there's a map available for a couple of dollars here. I buy it and drive into town to see what I can find.
I had told Ron I wanted to see Liberace's house and he drove me past it yesterday. It was right behind that little courtyard I was in on the day I wandered around town and I had no idea. So that is the first place I drive to so I can take some photos of it. I pull into an empty parking lot right across the street from the house and jump out of the car with my camera and take a few shots. I used to have a book by Liberace that was all about this house and how he decorated it. I can't remember much but I do recall that the place seemed a whole lot bigger inside than it looks from the street. I get back in the car and drive around to the side of the house to see how far it goes back and it goes back quite a ways. I can't see much over the wall other than the roof and a small tower in the center. The house next door was also owned by Liberace and was where his mother stayed when visiting.
I pull out the map and head over the main road to the area called Movie Colony. I find another house there owned by Liberace and it was where his brother George stayed when in town. I guess he liked his family close but not too close. There's a cool mailbox in the shape of a grand piano at the end of the driveway and a few Greecian-type statues at the front of the house. I wish I could see inside these places.
I drive around some more trying to find more places on the map. I find Hedy Lamarr's house and the first house owned by Frank Sinatra. But I am finding it challenging to drive, follow the map, look for addresses, and see what I want to see so I give up and decide to come back with Nelson as navigator, or better yet, come back with Ron driving so I can take photos.
I drive to Bob and Ada's and decide I need a nap. I am worn out. I figure I will sleep light so don't set an alarm. I wake up with barely enough time to get ready... I slept like a log. I see to my hair and makeup, dress up a bit, and when I walk into the living area, Bob is watching White Christmas on the TV and Ada is gathering bags and bags of gifts together to take to Ron's tonight.
I gather all of the gifts I have and just as we are loading everything into the truck, Eric calls and says that they are still out shopping so to come an hour later than planned. So we go back in the house to watch the end of White Christmas on the telly. The hour goes by fast and soon we are in the truck and driving across town to Ron's.
When we get there, Ron is busy in the kitchen making pasta. It seems so strange to see him working like this. I am used to seeing him sitting in his directors chair, people at his beck and call, and him - working hard at directing - but never doing more physical work than picking up his iPod out of the little portable stereo dock and spinning the wheel to select the next group of songs for us all to listen to while the lighting guys are working. In the past few days I have seen him up a ladder, sweeping the sidewalk, tidying his house, doing dishes, and now cooking. It's kind of the same feeling I had when I discovered, somewhere back in grade three, that my teacher didn't live at school and had a family and another life.
I tell Ron about the dips and pretzels and ask if he'd like them out now or wait for tomorrow. The appetizers he put out are pretty much gone so he's very happy I have more and tells me to put them out. I go about doing that as everyone is bustling about putting gifts under the tree, hugging, laughing, and generally having a fabulous time. I tell Ron to try the wasabi ginger dip and he does and loves it. I hear him later telling people to try it, it's amazing. And it is. I wish I had bought a jar to bring home with me. I also bought a dip called 'Dirty Martini' and it's a cream cheese concoction and is yummy.
Soon we are sitting about the place with plates of pasta and salad on our knees and having a great time. Nelson is playing bartender and making sure everyone has a drink. The night goes by very quickly and it seems way too soon when Bob tells me that they are ready to leave. I reluctantly get my coat and hug my goodbye's.
It is alarmingly cold outside at night and tonight it feels like it's almost freezing. We shiver our way to the truck and I look up to see a perfect sliver of silver moon suspended in an indigo sky above the inky black outline of the mountains. There are no street lights allowed in Palm Springs so that one can see the stars. It's breathtaking.
I wanted to shake up my life and go sailing (or learn on the job, so-to-speak) so headed to Florida to crew on a catamaran. This is about how it went or, rather, didn't - and my life since. Hopefully it will lead to a catamaran on the clear aqua blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, watching the sunset, a coconut rum and coke in hand. You must START AT THE BEGINNING of the blog, April 2009, to get the whole story...

Though the road is lonely, it is scenic, breathtaking and a delight to drive during the summer months. Travelers will enjoy expansive open spaces and scenic prairie backdrops that line the highway.
On my way to Val Marie in June, I came across a vehicle on the side of the road. Outside the vehicle were four seniors sitting on lawn chairs around a small table enjoying what looked like a picnic lunch and some beverages.
I couldn't help myself and had to stop to talk to them as they were literally in the middle of nowhere.
"This has been going on for a long long time," said Elaine Hargarten of Saskatoon.
Dick's wife Shirley piped up, "I've been to Arizona, Alaska, Shuswap, New York, East Coast, Nashville, Copper Canyon, British Columbia (and more) in our RV's," she said.
Hargarten described some bad luck on their last trip. "our trip to Vancouver Island, we had our motor home stolen at the end of our trip so all they got was my dirty laundry", she laughed.
Though the group of plus seventy adventurists couldn't agree on what year for sure they started travelling together, one thing was certain, they were great travel companions.
Picnics are a regular occurrence for this group of retirees. On this journey, they were headed to Grasslands National Park and were staying at the Convent in Val Marie.
They invited me to join them and were more than happy to share a beverage with me.
When I asked them if they made a habit of "picnicking on the prairies," they all laughed and nodded.
"My husband does not like eating in restaurants. Want me to tell you the last time I've been to a restaurant for a meal?" Shirley asked. "I can't remember. Now we are talking years," she explained. "The tour boss was really good at studying the map and finding places to stop and picnic. So, we always stopped on all our trips to picnic."
The four boomers were excited to experience Grasslands National Park. Plains bison roam freely inside the park and the curious tourist can find black-tailed prairie dogs and the black-footed ferret. Being one of our 39 national parks that represent prairie grasslands, it is also one of Canada's darkest sky reserves that draws star lovers from all over. Not only will you find rare plants, birds and animals there, it is home to pronghorn antelope, sage grouse, burrowing owls, ferruginous hawks, short horned lizards and prairie rattlesnakes.
These Saskatoon boomers succumbed to wanderlust and set out to experience one of southwest Saskatchewan's most fascinating places to visit. And why not have a picnic on the side of one of the loneliest roads in Saskatchewan on the way?

that might be made as to why a young naval officer should attempt the writing of a book.
Of the reviews of Maury's work, one of the most interesting appeared in the Southern Literary Messenger of June, 1836. It was written by Edgar Allan Poe, who was then editor of that magazine, and closed with the following paragraph: "The spirit of literary improvement has been awakened among the officers of our gallant navy. We are pleased to see that science also is gaining votaries from its ranks. Hitherto how little have they improved the golden opportunities of knowledge which their distant voyages held forth, and how little have they enjoyed the rich banquet which nature spreads for them in every clime they visit! But the time is coming when, imbued with a taste for science and a spirit of research, they will become ardent explorers of the regions in which they sojourn. Freighted with the knowledge which observation only can impart, and enriched with collections of objects precious to the student of nature, their return after the perils of a distant voyage will then be doubly joyful. The enthusiast in science will anxiously await their coming, and add his cordial welcome to the warm greetings of relatives and friends". Poe, perhaps, had no idea how soon his prophetic words were to be fulfilled,—and by the very man whose book he had so favorably reviewed.
After making this successful entry into the field of authorship, Maury lectured on scientific subjects in Fredericksburg and set about the studying of mineralogy, geology, and drawing. In these studies he made such progress as to qualify himself to become superintendent of the United States Gold Mine near Fredericksburg. He spent the summer of 1836 with his family at this mine.

Governance and Strategy
IIS can help build the privacy strategy to provide your public or private sector organisation with the building blocks for trusted engagements with customers and citizens. A privacy and trust strategy provides a 'blueprint' for building trust and privacy from the beginning by:
- Identifying privacy and trust issues and opportunities
- Developing values that underpin decision making and communication strategies
- Building mechanisms for embedding a culture of privacy within the organisation
- Building mechanisms for embedding privacy by design into the development and implementation of ICT platforms and business processes
- Facilitating where appropriate, public engagement to achieve transparency and trust
IIS also assists NSW government agencies in the drafting and implementation of Privacy Management Plans. Section 33 of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1988 (NSW) (PPIPA) requires NSW public sector agencies to develop privacy management plans which devise policies and practices to ensure their compliance with PPIPA and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW).

It's my blogoversary today! I've been blogging (with increasing discipline) for one whole year! Here are 5 snapshots sampled every 50 posts:
- My first post was about the Golden Gate Express Special Exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. (Blogging got me back into photography.)
- By the 50th post, I was on Day #11 of the Build a Better Blog series, learning more about blogging, an endless process.
- The 100th post, Pillar Point, was a meditation on photography and faith.
- The 150th post, 10 Pebble Principles of Innovation, extended my blogging skills into live business event coverage. I'd like to do more of this next year.
- Lastly, my 200th post for the year, Signs of Recovery, was a review of two autobiographies of runners building on my love of books and running. I've got 2 book reviews in queue for next year, Widow Clicquot and Coco Chanel.
A few things get lost in translation when you look at it this way. Namely:
- Cooking. Coquilles Saint Jacques was one of my favorite Julie and Julia inspired menus / menu reports.
- Most visitors: Jenn's Guide to Surviving the Chelsea Flower Show
- Most comments: Round the World
It has been a great year! Thank you for reading, commenting and tweeting!
See you next year!

5 SEO Tips for site navigation and linking
Sometimes there are so many factors to consider when carrying out search engine optimisation that it can be easy to get lost. To help combat this problem, this post will consider just one factor of SEO, navigation and linking, and will offer 5 straight-forward tips for optimising these features.
1. Use clear anchor text – When you link to other parts of your website, make sure to use clear descriptions of the linked to page in the anchor text that uses your desired keywords for that page. As with all SEO tips, don't overdo it. If you use the same keywords too much, search engines will begin to think of this as spam and your ranking will suffer
2. Create a sitemap (or two) – Google recommends that you create one sitemap for people and another for search engine spiders. A site map is basically just a page which links to all of the other pages in your website. Having a site map for web spiders ensures that they will be able to find every page on your site. Sitemap aside, however, avoid excessive navigation links.
3. Use CSS for drop down menus – If you're using drop down menus where people need to hover over or click on a menu bar to get the full menu to appear, try to use CSS rather than Flash or Javascript. It's far easier for search engine spiders to navigate a CSS menu.
4. Consider your keywords – When linking to your own site, spend some time researching what keywords you want to target with your site. Take these into account when creating anchor text for internal links and when choosing the URLs for pages.5.Use the "nofollow" attribute for large sites – This link attribute helps ensure that search engines treat the links you think are important seriously while ignoring those less important links (like links to terms and conditions or links to a site that isn't related to your main theme).

Russians and Southerners Get the Jersey Shore Treatment
Also, MTV is mulling more 'Jersey Shore' spinoffs.
Is Jersey Shore a stereotype-filled blight on Italian culture? Who cares — now that it's famous, other ethnicities and subcultures want in! THR brings word of Brighton Beach, a Russian-American take on Jersey Shore for Lifetime (though unlike Shore, it will include old people and kids), and Party Down South, a redneck-flavored variation on the format for Comedy Central (sadly, it is not a spinoff of the short-lived Starz comedy Party Down). In other news, MTV is still high on the proposed Shore spinoff that would chronicle Pauly D's D.J. career, and though a Snooki series seems inevitable, the network is rejecting competition- and dating-show pitches. Alas, this would seem to spell doom for a Snooki-led version of America's Next Top Face Model. [Live Feed/THR]

The Song Of The Ungirt Runners - Poem by Charles Hamilton Sorley
We swing ungirded hips,
And lightened are our eyes,
The rain is on our lips,
We do not run for prize.
We know not whom we trust
Nor whitherward we fare,
But we run because we must
Through the great wide air.
The waters of the seas
Are troubled as by storm.
The tempest strips the trees
And does not leave them warm.
Does the tearing tempest pause?
Do the tree-tops ask it why?
So we run without a cause
'Neath the big bare sky.
The rain is on our lips,
We do not run for prize.
But the storm the water whips
And the wave howls to the skies.
The winds arise and strike it
And scatter it like sand,
And we run because we like it
Through the broad bright land.

We're staying in the world of murder and mayhem this week in Bookaholics. Well it is my favourite genre.
I have read all the books in the Maggie O'Dell series and have loved them all. In this, the latest, offering, Maggie finds herself investigating a series of arson attacks. People are now dying in the attacks. As if she doesn't have enough on her plate Maggie is also being pursued by the press who want to make her a part of the story.
This is a well written book with an excellent storyline. However, I don't feel it has just as much of the on your seat tension, as previous books in the series. There are a couple of new characters introduced and I am hoping those are developed more fully in future books. I think I am getting more used to the characters in the series so I didn't feel I got to know much about them in this book.
As I say the storyline is good and kept me reading. This was what made it gripping. By the end I thought I had guessed the identity of the killer but I was then tugged in a different direction. The sign of a good story. Overall I would recommend this book. However if you have not read any of the previous books in this series it might be better to read some of the others first. This will give you a more rounded picture of the characters and help you to place things in context. Saying that, the book can be read as a standalone.
Similar books which you may also enjoy:
That's it from bookaholics today. I am already on to my next book so bookaholics will be back soon with another great review. Until then, pick up a good book and keep reading.

North Korea's failed missile launch is expected to generate more than one million male sexual-performance jokes, but there are only seven and one half things you need to know today. Here they are:
Thing: Big Banks Want To Be Less Big: It seems we've misjudged U.S. banks. They aren't too big to fail: They're big-boned.
Of course, we're talking apples and oranges, or Twinkies and Ding Dongs, here. The biggest banks don't want to reduce the size of their assets or their potential to lay waste to the economy. That would be crazy, right? No, they're trying to cut costs, but finding it hard to do so, reports the Wall Street Journal. That could lead to still more bank-sector layoffs. No wonder it's considered a dying industry.
This highlights how banks are struggling to make money in old-fashioned banking, the WSJ writes: "Much of the industry's recent profitability has come from the release of cash that had been set aside to cover bad loans, rather than from business growth." Two of the biggest, and allegedly strongest banks, report earnings this morning, including JPMorgan Chase, a/k/a the Great White Whale, and Wells Fargo. JPMorgan, whose results beat forecasts, has apparently solved the whole no-profit thing by turning its sleepy chief investment office into a massive proprietary trading desk, Bloomberg writes today. What could possibly go wrong?
Thing Two: Not-So-Great Expectations: The stock market is hopping up and down on one leg hoping for the Federal Reserve to load up its money cannon and shoot hundred-dollar bills in the air again, like it has done repeatedly in the past, but economists tell the Wall Street Journal they don't think that's happening. Which means you can take it to the bank: It's happening. A bunch of Fed speakers yesterday didn't go so far as to say that, but they did say they're ready to act if the economy weakens again, Reuters writes.
Thing Three: China OOPS: One reason for yesterday's U.S. stock market rally, the biggest in a month, was a rumor swirling around Wall Street that China was going to report blockbuster first-quarter GDP last night. Not so much. In fact, the People's Republic reported GDP growth of 8.1 percent, below the 8.3 percent economists expected and way, way below the 9 percent that was rumored. Whoopsie. Stocks and commodities and all kinds of other stuff are sliding this morning on the news.
Thing Four: Price Check: We get some very interesting U.S. economic data today, too, including the consumer price index for March, which is expected to show more inflation than in February, and a consumer-sentiment reading from the University of Michigan. That is expected to show consumers' level of sadness has not changed much from March.
Thing Five: No Vote For You! Google last night reported quarterly earnings that beat Wall Street forecasts, a welcome change from a face-plant in the prior quarter. The company also announced a freaky stock split thing that will issue a new class of stock that will have absolutely no voting power, a lower caste of stock if you will. That leaves all of the power in the hands of Sergey Brin and Larry Page forever and ever, amen, writes the Financial Times. Which is just a touch on the unusual side.
Thing Six: More Trouble For Murdoch: Fox News has found its mole, but Rupert Murdoch has bigger worries, Reuters writes: "A British parliamentary report into a phone hacking scandal may lead eventually to News Corp being forced into cutting or selling its stake in the highly profitable pay-TV firm BSkyB, having already dropped its bid to buy it outright last year." Under pressure, Murdoch has responded by having his British tabloids turn on his conservative political buddies, Reuters writes. That will go over well.
Thing Seven: Best Buy Sexy Time: Come on, admit it: You know what you were thinking when you heard that Best Buy had given its CEO the boot for "personal conduct." Well, what you were thinking was apparently what Best Buy was thinking, too, because apparently Best Buy is looking into charges ex-CEO Brian Dunn "misused company assets in the course of an alleged relationship with a female subordinate," the Wall Street Journal reports.
Thing Seven And One Half: What the Fawkes? Happy 442nd birthday, Guy Fawkes. The planner of the England's Gunpowder Plot in 1605, which went over like a North Korean missile launch, his mask has become the iconic face of protest movements and anonymous hackers everywhere. Funny true story, according to ABC's Edward Lovett: The Fawkes mask is licensed by Time Warner, which makes money on every one sold.

Name a storm or disaster and any survivor can probably tell you where they were and the damage they experienced. Each year on the anniversary of major storms, stories of tragedy and triumph come pouring out.
One year after Isaac, and Sixth Street in Spanish Town looks like it always had. But during that storm, a huge tree collapsed, damaging buildings and power lines. That's the funny thing about physical damage though; it's pretty easy to repair. What's harder to assess is the mental damage which can take a toll even years after a hurricane.
"On the one had you're more resilient. On the other hand it can be much more difficult for someone who is fatigued by those feelings that come back," said Dr. Anthony Speier, Assistant Secretary of Behavior Health for the Department of Health and Hospitals.
Major storms can be extremely stressful. People can begin to feel anxious or panicked when faced with overwhelming preparations. But those feelings can linger even after the rains stop, and reemerge later.
"People may start changing their eating habits or they may stop sleeping as much as they use to sleep," said Speier. "They may start smoking again, something to deal with the anxiety, trying to come to terms with, 'what are these feelings I'm having?'"
However, in the wake of disaster there is a resource for those struggling called Louisiana Spirit. It's a temporary federally-funded crisis counseling program that is available for about a year and a half after a major disaster.
"They've delivered over 160,000 services over the last year, direct services one on one with people in the areas," said Speier.
Counselors work with kids, families or individuals one on one to help people process any emotional stress they feel during recovery. Counselors say the important thing is not to bury your feelings, and seek help when you need it. Other tips from DHH include:
Speier says you can also prepare mentally ahead of a storm by making sure you have your emergency plan in place. He suggests getting the whole family involved in the planning, even turn it into a fun game for the kids. Speier says if everyone is involved and knows what to do when a storm hits, there is less anxiety.

A device is a collection of one or more related tasks to be performed in sequence on a set schedule. All tasks within a device are included in the alerting and reporting communications, so that if any single task within a device errors, the alerts and reports will reflect the error.
Unless tasks are closely related, we recommend you create one task per device. This will ensure that each task runs independently and does not have to wait for a previous task to complete before it starts. This will also ensure that alerts are triggered in a timely manor. If there are multiple tasks in a device, all tasks must be run before an alert will be triggered.
There are several steps involved in creating a new device.
From the main device manager page, click the button to add a new monitoring device.
Now you will select the type of monitor you wish the first task to perform.
At the next step you'll be prompted to configure device settings and then
- Using Wizard
- Adding a Device manually
- Using EveryStep Scripting Tool

- Add Task: Add a new monitoring Task to the Device
- Postpone: Stop monitoring the Device and all its Tasks
