Recently I was challenged by Wayfair to create a Gallery Wall in my home.
Normally when you think of gallery walls its natural to think of a mass of prints or pictures positioned on the wall together.
But did you realise that in the true sense a gallery wall it can be so much more than prints and pictures.
It can be made up of other important things that you want to displace like letters, plates, prints, mirrors, textiles, ceramics and even shelving can help break up the visual field and it can help give the wall more depth.
I am challenging myself to be able to add in the functional items needed in my office along with the pretty, quirky and pieces of art and ceramics too.
When I am starting something that involves making a statement I often begin to think of Pintrest and pretty, perfect and unachievable things that makes me anxious but who said interiors and creativity has to be done a certain way. This is where I am thriving with my home recently, I am thinking somewhat sideways and I am loving it.
Since I was in dire need of finally finishing my office at home and I needed the space to be functional as a spare bedroom and home office. Along with being peaceful, easy to use and pretty I started with the things I needed to function with.
- Folders
- Shelves
- Baskets
Then I added in what I already had:
- Owl jar
- blogger framed prints
- Small white picnic basket
But now how was I going to add it all together to create a functional wall space but yet one that represented me too and tied the whole room together.
First was the Sacred Arbor Canvas Wall Art by Claire O'Hea from Art Group which contained all the colours in the room from the bedspread to the lamp and since I needed something on the wall behind me this made an ideal spot to tie in everything.
Next was this Save The World Mounted Framed Typography. I am such a worrier and tend to think everything that needs doing and rescuing lands on my shoulders, often detrimentally to my own health or feelings so I love the sentiment of this.
Last on the list of 3 pieces of art we were challenged to find as part of this gallery wall I choose Big Willy … OK we know how important William Shakespeare was to the world of words and this cheeky tongue in cheek image just made me laugh … I am no wordsmith but I love both my blogs for the freedom that they give me to write about my life and my feelings so this represented my take on the literary genius, slightly tongue in and with pink shades!
I know my facelift didn't really consist of the standard 'norms' you would expect with a gallery wall, however I am thrilled with my corner of the house. Somewhere that is functional, yet fun, organised, yet confused and I think the prints from The Art Group at Wayfair for sending out these amazing pieces that make me feel empowered and yet make me laugh in equal measure.
I think it completely represents me and the way I work.
Now to look for a clock to finish it off.

This is one of my favourite dishes. It'll take an hour or tow to prepare, so definitely a weekend treat. However the nice thing about it is that you can make a large portion and freeze some of it for later.
There are 4 steps to make it: first the meat preparation, then the bulgur, then the filling and finally putting all together.
Ingredients: (serves 6 persons)
- 1 beef steak, about 500g (clean from nerves and fat)
- 250g of lean ground meat
- red pepper paste (dibis flefle)
- 1 cup of water
- 500g of dark medium bulgur (do not use light couscous as the tastes are different)
- 2 onions
- 1/2 cup of pine nuts
- 1 white onion
- 1 tsp of cumin
- 1/2 tsp of red bell pepper (paprika)
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp of butter
1) Meat preparation:
- 500g of dark medium bulgur (do not use light couscous)
- 1 beef steak, about 500g (clean from nerves and fat)
- 1 tbsp of red bell pepper paste (dibis flefle)
- a pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup of water
Make sure the beef steak is cold right out the fridge. That way it will break down more easily in the food processor. Cut the steak in little cubes. While doing that, remove any visible nerves or fat.
Put the meat in the food processor. Add a pinch of salt, a table spoon of red bell pepper paste and 2 tbsp of water.
Run the processor for about a minute until the meat obtains the consistency of a smooth puree.
Put in a Tupperware and refrigerate until later.
2) Bulgur preparation:
- 500g of dark medium bulgur (do not use light couscous)
- 1 white onion
- a pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp of red pepper paste (dibis flefle)
- water
Put the bulgur in a fine strainer and run under water for 30 seconds.
Shake out the water and put the bulgur in a large bowl and set aside for 30 minutes.
You'll want to prepare the filling during this time (step 3).
After 30 minutes, mix the bulgur with a spoon, add the chopped onion, salt and the 2 table spoons of pepper paste.
Put the mix in the food processor and a dash of water and run for approximately 30 seconds or until onion and pepper paste are nicely mixed in the bulgur.
3) Filling preparation:
- 250g of lean ground meat
- 1 white onion
- 1/2 cup of pine nuts
- 1 tsp of cumin
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of pepper
- 1/2 tsp of red pepper (paprika)
- 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
Finely chopp the onion.
Heat up the oil. Add the meat and brown it.
Add onions, salt and pepper.
Continue cooking about 5-10 minutes until onion is yellow and liquids have evaporated. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool down for 10 minutes.
In a dry pan (without oil), roast the pine nuts for about 5 minutes or until lightly brown.
Finally, combine the meat mixture, cumin, red pepper and pine nuts.
Mix thoroughly and set aside.
4) Putting it all together:
Take the meat puree out of the fridge. In a large bowl, combine with bulgur/onion mix, add a tsp ofcumin and mix well by hand until homogenous.
Split the mixture in 2 equal parts.
Butter the bottom of a large oven pan (30cm).
Spread half of the bulgur/meat preparation in small flattened chunks using the palm of your hands. Wet your hand occasionally so that the mixturedoesn't stick to your hands.
Fill the bottom surface then with a wet hand, even out the surface.
Spread the ground meat/pinenuts filling.
Using the second half of the bulgur/meat, create a top layer.
Again, flatten evenly using your wet hand.
Finally cut lozenges with a knife and poke a hole in each one.This will help the cooking process and will make the dish easy to serve in small portions.
Spread some small pieces of butter on top, and drizzle 1/3 cup of water.
Put in a pre-heated oven at180°C for about 30-45 minutes.
And voila!! Serve with humus and a salad. Enjoy!

"We really had to do something at that time, because we didn't want an unsatisfactory rating," says Steve Teeple, president of the Florida-based carrier.
The company decided to install PeopleNet's in-cab electronic logging technology in its three dozen trucks. Before switching over to electronic logs, Pollywog's out-of-service rate was 89 to 90 percent. Now, the company's out-of-service rate is less than 35 percent. Teeple says Pollywog has no more log violations.
"I don't know why we didn't do this sooner," he says.
As a bonus, drivers are more conscious about what they're doing with the equipment. While it took a while to train drivers on the new logging system, Teeple says they're now more efficient, as they have a certain amount of time to get their work done and they're not sitting at the truckstop. One driver with a weekly run to Texas would normally be back every Saturday morning using paper logs. After the switch over to electronic logging, he was back Friday afternoon, Teeple says, with the rest of the weekend free to enjoy with his family. "In the long run, it's going to make [drivers] money."
Eventually, he had drivers coming to work saying, "We wouldn't even want to come to work without it," Teeple recalls.
"If you want to be a profitable business, you've got to use all the tools," he says.
The EOBR rule
Last month, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration passed its new requirement for electronic onboard recorders to track driver hours of service. The new rule, which will affect nearly 5,700 trucking companies, will make EOBRs an even more important tool to stay compliant and keep on top of drivers' hours.
The new requirement includes criteria for the type of electronic logging technology that can be used by carriers. Under the new rule, EOBRs must be able to automatically record the truck's location at each change of duty status and at intervals while the truck is in motion, which can be accomplished using global positioning technology or another tracking system. In addition, the devices must have specific information processing standards, and they must be able to provide enforcement officials with a digital file of hours of service in a specified format. EOBRs are also required to be tied to the engine to ensure accuracy. (See preceding story for more details.)
"Teletrac was prepared for the rule changes, and as such, is fully compliant," says Drew Hamilton, executive vice president of Teletrac, which offers an Hours of Service software module. "Going forward, we see increased demand from not only this marketplace and the subset of the trucking ecosystem with previous violations, but really the industry as a whole."
According to Amy Daley, ASP product manager for J. J. Keller & Associates, up to this point, private fleets have been opting for the technology more than for-hire ones, as they inherently have a lot more at risk. With the new regulation, however, she expects for-hire carriers to show more interest. Daley says as more regulations pop up related to EOBRs, it will require more consistency across the different providers; the government will be looking for commonality in the way the technology looks and feels from an enforcement standpoint.
And that's just what happened with the new rule. Prior to the announcement of the new guideline, Jim Angel, safety and compliance product manager with PeopleNet, told HDT he wouldn't be surprised if the regulation required the display to be viewable outside of the cab in some form. The rule allows for the use of wired communications via a USB cord connection, or wireless transfer of data to the enforcement officer's portable computer.
Some EOBR devices, such as the one made by Trackwell ADS, can be unclipped from the cab to show the inspection officer outside of the truck. Trackwell ADS also offers a USB connection, as the rule requires.
"Carriers using EOBRs are best positioned to manage through all of these regulatory changes with the least disruption to their operations," says Jim Sassen, senior product marketing manager at Qualcomm Enterprise Services. "It will eliminate the concern about using electronic logging when your competitors are not."
How it works
The new FMCSA rule on EOBR use requires the technology to be connected to the engine and include some kind of tracking mechanism, which many technology providers do. Here's a sampling of electronic log technology solutions, and how they work:
* CarrierWeb: The basis of CarrierWeb's electronic logging technology is its hours of service module called LogsManager, which runs on the company's CarrierMate in-cab device with touchscreen technology. The device collects data from the engine on starts and stops, and is also GPS-enabled to send the truck's position to the server every 60 seconds, says Norman Thomas, vice president of consulting services. When the vehicle stops, a drop-down menu allows drivers to choose their duty status. A secured web site with a login provides data management in the back office.
* J. J. Keller & Associates: J. J. Keller's electronic logging technology consists of a black-box recorder mounted inside the cab of the truck, which pulls engine data and interfaces to several types of technology, including smartphones, PDAs and laptop computers. This data from the engine is necessary to accurately and automatically determine when the vehicle is in motion. A GPS device also picks up the vehicle's location. Meanwhile, back office staff can view drivers' hours of service using J. J. Keller encompass, a Web application.
* PeopleNet: PeopleNet eDriver Logs system automatically calculates driving hours of service through a combination of GPS location and PerformX engine diagnostic information. Drivers indicate on-duty/off-duty/sleeper berth/driving status through the message display. The data can be viewed through an LCD-based model, which is text-based, or on PeopleNet's Blu device, which provides a more graphical, color representation. This information is then available to the driver, dispatcher or compliance officer through the PeopleNet Fleet Manager Web-based interface. Drivers can show up-to-date logbook information to law enforcement or DOT officials, which can be viewed from outside the cab.
* Qualcomm Enterprise Services: Qualcomm provides a software-based Hours of Service Application that is an integrated part of its Mobile Computing Platform in-cab devices. The application leverages vehicle information from the engine to determine when the vehicle is moving and automatically transitions the driver between on-duty not driving and driving status, and then back again when the vehicle stops. "The mobile computing platform provides important information about the locations of duty status changes and communicates this and other relevant information required to determine driver compliance status and available hours," says Qualcomm's Sassen.
* Teletrac: Through Teletrac's Fleet Director Hours Of Service software module, fleets can record hours of service data from the cab. The data is recorded, transmitted and displayed via Fleet Director's in-cab Message Display Terminal, the Net 960 CE-X. Drivers use the Fleet Director MDT to enter all relevant HOS information such as Driver ID and Current Status. With the push of a button, the information is sent via a wireless network to a computer for storage and retrieval. The stored data may also be transmitted to drivers as needed. It also features a standard J-bus connection.
* Trackwell ADS: According to Tom Lemke, president and CEO of Trackwell ADS, the company's in-cab device is tied to the engine and prov

Memorial Service for former University Librarian, Graham R. Hill
A memorial service for former University Librarian Graham R. Hill will be held tonight at 7:00 pm in the Great Hall of the University Club. Hill, who was the University Librarian from 1979 until his retirement in 2005, passed away on April 13. He also served as president of the University Club for many years.
Hill received a B.A. from the University of Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1968, an M.A. from the University of Lancaster in 1969, and an M.L.S. from the University of Western Ontario in 1970. He came to McMaster in January 1971.
During his tenure, Hill oversaw tremendous changes in the University Library, from the advent of the computer age to unprecedented growth of the campus in the 1980s and 1990s and the digital revolution in collections. Asked upon his retirement about his proudest achievement, Hill referenced the major expansion and renovation of Mills Memorial Library in the early 1990s, which significantly increased collections and study space.
In 1998, Hill was named as the first winner of the CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) Award for Distinguished Service to Research Librarianship, recognizing, in particular, his longstanding commitment in the areas of copyright reform and education. He served on the CARL Board of Directors from 1981-1987 (President from 1985-1987), and was Chair of the CARL Standing Committee on Copyright. Hill was also an active member of the Association of Research Libraries. He served as a Governor at Hillfield-Strathallan College from 1981-1993, and Chairman of the Board from 1989-1991.
McMaster's current University Librarian, Vivian Lewis, recognized the indelible contributions Hill made to libraries on campus and across Canada. "I had the great honour of working with Graham for many years prior to his retirement. He was an inspired leader and a trusted colleague who will be missed by the library community."

Sports car
Pros : looks, power, performance
Cons : price
About 3 years ago, when i20 was launched in the Indian market, everybody thought it would be a failure because the car was highly priced. Everybody thought that this hatchback won't get sales because it is almost priced as much as sedans. But everybody was proved wrong when this car's sales figures came out. This car is a success story all over the country. You can see it everywhere.
Exterior: The dynamic looks of Hyundai i20 car make it a heartthrob. Everybody loves to see it on the road. It looks like a proper sports car with edgy and nicely finished looks. The head lights and tail lights are the main plus point of Hyundai i20.
Interior: It is a very spacious hatchback car, with a lot space in the rear row too. The trunk has good capacity. The instrument panel is very good in design and looks advanced. The sound quality of the music player is superb. The sterring wheel gives proper sports car feel. The gear knob is really smooth and also very stylish.
Engine: It is available in diesel as well as petrol. The power changes with the variants. But the power these engines generate is really good. The pick up and the acceleration, is awesome. The mileage is amazing. Nothing to complaint about in this section.
Verdict: Hyundai i20 is a premium segment hatchback which has power, qualities and space of a sedan. Though the price is little bit higher than what it really should be, but the features are just extraordinary. The quality of Hyundai's cars is amazing.

In 1989, a group of neighborhood teachers and parents started Covenant Mother's Day Out program at Covenant United Methodist Church. The goal of the program was to provide loving care of children while parents enjoyed free time to run errands. Soon the program became a licensed child care facility in the state of Texas, with the goal of always meeting or exceededing minimum standards.
In May 2003, the program was officially adopted by Covenant United Methodist Church to serve as a ministry of the church. In 2004, the program changed its name to Covenant United Methodist Church Preschool in order to better reflect our educational mission. Children continue to receive loving care at Covenant, but we are also helping them reach their full potential. We believe that quality early childhood education has a strong positive impact on children's future success. Our goal is to nurture a child's physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual abilities.
In 2010, we became an Austin Rising Star Provider. This Texas Workforce Solutions program monitors and evaluates childcare facilities in Austin with the goal of ensuring that the centers provide the best possible learning environment. Covenant UMC Preschool has been awarded the highest possible rating of four stars.
Our preschool continues to nurture and support the families in our community. Research now shows that a quality preschool education helps children succeed in school and beyond. We are committed to providing the best possible environment to help our students thrive and grow.

Hometown Heroes – Every Hero Has a Story
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hero as, "one who shows great courage."
With that in mind, we would like to ask for your help honoring all of our Hometown Heroes!
KTEM wants to give back to our everyday heroes. Every 1st and 15th of the month we will be issuing a $50 gift card for dinner as well as a certificate of appreciation from their city.
Do you know a man or woman deployed with the armed forces who deserves to be honored for his or her service to our country? What about a local first responder who serves our community day after day? Now is your chance to shine the spotlight on those individuals who deserve it more than the rest.
Now that you have someone in mind the rest is simple. Just give us a name, rank, and a few sentences about why you think this person deserves to be highlighted as one of our local Hometown Heroes and we'll do the rest.

A/N: So, I have finally given in to my plot bunny and written some E/R. I have never written anything for romance before in my entire life, so I apologise if this sucks :) Also, there is a teensy bit of sexual behaviour in this. Definitely not pornographic, no mechanics or anything, but it's there. I didn't intend for iy to be there originally, but it's not very explicit and, I don't know, it felt like the correct progression of things. So there you are, don't you judge me :)
Also, I am now on tumblr! I haven't posted much yet, but I will do soon. Les Mis things, this piece probably included. You can find me at scrapbooktales or RainInMyCuppedHands for original works if you want to come say hi :) Also, if you like the idea of Les Mis modern au comic (:D) go check out apollocomic on tumblr, whose sublimely beautiful drawing style inspired me to get this written down.
Scrapbook Tales is my Les Mis modern AU, volumes of which will be posted whenever inspiration strikes.
Scrapbook Tales #1
Precipice (they were often on the edge of something more)
For months, they balanced on a line together, each pulling the other this way and that. They were not friends (though they shared friends and that is nearly the same thing) and they were not enemies. They existed alongside one another and some days it was companionable and some days it was not.
There were evenings at the cafes and friends' apartments when they tore into one another's flesh with their words, seeking out the places that would bleed most. Enjolras would find all of Grantaire's old wounds and thrust fresh daggers into them, and Grantaire would take a sledgehammer to Enjolras's marble perfection and do his damnedest to smash it into powder and never quite succeed (but that only made the blows hurt all the more, not all chips are on the surface).
In times like these, when they would spit poison into each other's faces, hate would coil around their hearts and dig its claws into the pulsing surface. Somehow, though, it was always gone by morning, leaving nothing more than bitter-tasting tongues from forming words so cruel. And if that bitterness was a little bit like regret, well, both would elect to suffer it rather than wash it away with an apology (sometimes 'sorry' waited in their throats, but they would inevitably choke on it before it left their lips).
It starts innocuously, with coffee, because there was no one else to go with but each other. Both of them are making a Herculean effort to keep their words calm and civil, and Enjolras asks Grantaire about his art, and Grantaire makes Enjolras laugh for the first time since the beginning of their acquaintance, and it begins to look something like a certain kind of friendship. And after that, their rows, while still bloody and vicious, stop just short of murderous.
Grantaire is the most surprised of them all when he becomes useful to the group, in some capacity. He leaves the Musain one evening, having shredded Enjolras's arguments and made no move to stitch them back together in some better way. At three in the morning, he finds himself opening his door to Apollo, with a stack of papers in his arms relevant to his speech earlier. He has a blaze of purpose in his eyes and a single word on his lips ('again').
Enjolras expounds, in Grantaire's flat at three in the morning, and it is a little different this time. Grantaire tears it up verbally once more and the pieces drift to the floor between them.
At noon the next day, Enjolras closes his mouth on the last syllable of the speech and waits for Grantaire's barrage of criticism (this is the pattern they grew into, in the small hours). Silence sits thickly in the flat. No criticism comes. For the first time, in the quiet wake of Enjolras's speech, Grantaire has nothing to say. Instead he nods, once, slowly, holding Enjolras's eyes, then gets up to make them coffee.
When Enjolras presents the rigorously edited speech to a panel of his university professors, they can find no fault in it. It is flawless.
They still argue. They still leave most meetings covered in invisible bruises and blood, with a few particularly hurtful words still sticking in their skin.
Neither can remember the moment they began to feel as though they wanted to breathe each other's air (or rather, when Enjolras began to feel that way. Some days Grantaire felt like he had wanted that since he drew his first breath) though when asked, either might reply the first moment they actually did ('Be serious.' 'I am wild.'). They were simmering in the aftermath of a boiling row with more heat than hurt in it and Enjolras bent close to Grantaire's face, fuming, to deliver his murmured reprimand. Grantaire had replied with a wolfish grin, a grin with danger in the corners, and his arctic eyes had glittered savagely. His words were a contradiction, soft but sharp, almost a whisper. They were meant just for Enjolras; they did not have to travel far. There were centimetres between their lips.
Their lines begin to blur after that. The air between them crackles and sparks. Each are waiting, breath held, for the inevitable plunge.
It happens on a bridge (how appropriate, Grantaire thinks), where they've somehow ended up alone in a frost-bitten night, and Enjolras is trying to fumble out a stilted apology for some senseless insult Grantaire has already half forgotten when he suddenly rips the cigarette from between Grantaire's lips and crushes their mouths together. It's not gentle or sweet or anything else that love is meant to be, it's desperate and messy from both sides, but Grantaire's world shrinks down to the tearing chill of the cold wind on his skin, the scalding, delicious heat of Enjolras's tongue in his mouth and the painful line in his back where he is being pressed against the bridge railing.
They still argue, and afterwards they kiss the bruises and the blood away, and pick their own harsh words from each other's skin with their teeth, and wash the bitter taste from their tongues with whispered words ('I love you').
In some iridescent moments, there is something even more than that.
The sun, sinking towards the west, gilds their bare skin. It has steeped the room in liquid gold, making it feel like a place outside of life and outside of time. Their sheets glow and Grantaire is languidly stretched out on them, with Enjolras's knees anchored either side of his waist. The light burnishes the lines of their bodies. The air between them burns.
For Grantaire, there is nothing more in the world than the marble curve of Enjolras's throat as he tips his head back and light pours down his neck, the arc of his back shadowed vertical against the wall, the way that sunbeams rest in the dip of his collarbone and ignite in his hair. For Enjolras, no more than Grantaire's held gaze and the way the sun fills his eyes as it might fill water, and now, as he closes them with a trembling sigh, the dark ink strokes of his eyelashes on his pale skin, his dark curls spilled on the sheet, black on white on black on white, but his lips kissed raw and red.
Lazily, they stoke the furnace between them and light a fire in one another's bones (their faces are not close, but it seems more intimate somehow this way, the distance allowing them to fully observe their lover's face, the palms of their hands pressed to the other's, fingers interwoven) and fuse their souls together.
At times like these they transcend the boundaries even of love, and fall into something greater still.
A/N: Thanks for reading, I'd love some feedback, please do review and let me know if you like it!

Everywhere they go on vacation, Frank Kniffen and his two kids get special treatment. It's not that they're famous. Nor do they ask for it, though by now, they've come to expect the smiles, the extra help in hotels, the invitations to join new-found friends.
"It's just that people think it's great to see a father traveling alone with his kids," says Dr. Kniffen, a Chicago physician who began traveling solo with his son and daughter even before his divorce three years ago.
"Too many single fathers get themselves in a rut with their kids," says Dr. Kniffen, whose children are now 10 and 13. "Travel adds a whole new dimension to your relationship with the kids. You're exploring new territory together. It's very exciting -- the best times I have traveling are with the kids."

For more details here.
Now we can obtain the location of the user like so :
Once we know how to get the current location of the user, we can implement this JavaScript code in our jQuery click method.
Here's how you can incorporate Google map into your JavaScript code.
To handle any errors, we can use second parameters of getCurrentPosition(). If anything fails, it will invoke the error callback, letting us update the user with corresponding error message. Let's break it down a bit for your understanding.
In the third parameter of getCurrentPosition(), the enableHighAccuracy attribute tries to provide best results, but this may cause slower response and can increase the power consumption of the device.
Geolocation can be used in many different ways, it can be used to store location info of pictures taken in various points, pinpoint exact location of a lost user in unfamiliar city or update user location on social media sites. But you should also be aware that the implementation of Geolocation varies device to device, some support this feature and others don't, the result entirely depends on hosting device and accuracy is not guaranteed!
You should also be very responsible when using one's location data, since it discloses the location of the user, thereby potentially compromising the user's privacy. It's always a good idea to setup HTTPS on your website before making geolocation API requests. Goodluck!
how to get location by passing latitude and longitude using javascriptReply
I really like this article after long time i get which i am need and use in my application very thankful to youReply
its not working in http websites.Reply
we are require full example with api key.
Please share.Reply
I like the way you express JavaScript API and geolocation. Thats very easy to access.Reply

While some animals may be cute and cuddly, they could also be dangerous if left to roam the streets on their own. A scared or diseased animal could attack a human or injure a family pet while on a walk or while playing in its owner's yard. Therefore, it is important that animal control Mississauga services from pestcontrolmississauga.org are able to do their job properly.
What Can Animal Control Do?
Animal control can work with concerned citizens and local law enforcement groups to get potentially dangerous animals off the street. Although a dog that is seen walking around a neighborhood could be someone's pet who just got out of the yard, it could also be cold, hungry or otherwise anxious and ready to attack the first person it sees.
Why Is Animal Control Important?
Having an active animal control unit in a big city like Toronto is important because one dog bite or one attack from any other animal could create a health hazard. If a wild animal that has rabies bites somebody, that person could suffer from serious health problems and potentially pass on the disease to others in the city. Within days, there could be a huge health epidemic to deal with. However, if animals are taken off of the streets, there is less of a chance that they can pose health issues to themselves, other animals or people.
Reunite Lost Pets With Their Owners or Rehabilitate Stray Animals
A stray animal that is sick or undernourished may be taken to a shelter where it can be rehabilitated and given away as a pet to a family that would love and take good care of it. If an animal is lost or has run away, being picked up by animal control could allow it to be reunited with its owner. The odds of this happening go up if the animal has an identification chip that can tell an individual what the animal's name is and who it may belong to. Within hours or days, it can return home to its family instead of being placed in a shelter or potentially dying.
Animal control professionals provide a vital service that ensures that animals are treated fairly and that they are not able to hurt themselves or others. Instead of a family losing its pet, the animal can be rescued and returned to its owner unharmed and without having to go through a traumatic ordeal in the wild.

Full statement from Zaycon Fresh:
"The reason that this company had to close its doors was an inability to complete additional financing to sustain continue operations. Although the company's business model was strong, additional capital was required to sustain yields in light of margins. The pending litigation inhibited the ability to obtain additional capital necessary to sustain business operations. The company is presently evaluating its options, which may include a bankruptcy filing, a receivership, or a structured windup of business operations."

Golliwog – Rain Of Ruin lyrics
Fierce blast wind and heat rays
Reaching several thousand degrees
Deadly radiation crushed everything in sight
And reduced entire place into a barren field of rubble
Rain of ruin land of lame
Silver serpent took the day
I feel you're just a smile away
Dark sun rising heaven falling burning shower
Rain is crying tears of sorrow tears of sorrow

The Bottom Line
Located on the southern shore of the Peninsula, this charming city is perhaps one of the most sophisticated resorts on the Aegean coast. Countless yachts adorn its harbor, along with the famous 'Gulets', those beautiful wooden Turkish sailing vessels one can charter for an outing. Most of these gulets are built right here in Bodrum, the center for boat building dating as far back as Mark Anthony's and Cleopatra's days!
I highly recommend a tour of the castle for a comprehensive review of its fascinating history. Make sure it includes a visit to the Sunken Boat Museum, located within the castle walls. It offers an amazing array of artifacts retrieved from shipwrecks from the period of the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. Cargo from a Syrian trade ship (ca. 13th century BC) includes still in tact pottery jars, dishes, even food!
Not far from the Mausoleum is the Amphitheater, the only surviving monument of Halicarnassus. It has been restored and is still used today for occasional concerts and performances.
Prices starting from around £28,000
Click Here for more info or Contact us today to request a brochure & price list
There is plenty of shopping in Bodrum and you can get great deals on leather, carpets, gold jewelry, and cashmere shawls (pashimas). You are expected to bargain after an initial price is quoted (merchandise is not marked with prices). The rule of thumb is to bargain down to about 65% of the initial quote. If the vendor does not agree, just walk away. More often than not, he will chase after you and agree to your final offer! You won't get the best price if you intend to pay with a credit card, they much prefer to be paid in US Dollars. Turkish Lira are accepted, of course, but considering the exchange rate of 1,600,000 Lira for a single US Dollar, the numbers are staggering and it's easy to get confused.
It is very common to be offered Turkish apple tea, soft drinks, or Turkish coffee, especially in carpet stores. Feel free to accept the offer, this in no way obligates you to purchase. It is just part of the Turkish hospitality!
Turkey is one of the few countries growing enough produce to sustain their own. Especially the fruit is wonderful, such as figs, melons, berries, mangos, etc.
You may want to rent a 'Gulet', one of those beautiful wooden boats lining the waterfront. Again, you will have to bargain for the price (approximately $25 per hour). Sailing around the coast of the Bodrum Peninsula is magical, and there are lots of small coves, ideal for swimming. A delicious 'local' lunch is served on board. We found the water surprisingly cold (early October), but enjoyed it nevertheless. The Aegean Sea is crystal clear and VERY salty, giving it great buoyancy.
Bodrum is particularly known for its more than lively nightlife. It is the town that never sleeps and where parties continue into the early morning. Among many international visitors, this is where you will find the Turkish 'jet set', French Riviera style! Cruise ships arrive on a daily basis and new construction extends the pretty whitewashed villages far into the countryside. Tourism is big business here, but the people are worried. With the events of 9/11 and Iraq as a close neighbor, they are more than concerned about the future.
Bodrum can certainly be considered a jewel along the Turkish Coast and is well worth a visit, whether it be for an extended holiday, or just for a day from a cruise ship.

Why College Kids Don't Want to Work for Your Company
Finding the right hire for your company or business can be difficult in the current job market. While there's an influx of job seekers, the market is highly competitive. Plus, graduates entering the workforce are looking for different qualities in the companies they work for. This has resulted in many businesses are reporting fewer applicants and less interest in their companies. If your company has noticed a drop in prospective recruits, here are a few reasons that college kids may be avoiding your company.
- Millennials Reject Corporate Structure- Time and again, studies have shown that millennials aren't interested in following the traditional work model. The grind. From 9-5, Monday through Friday, week after week, month after month, year after year. Millennials are eager for new experiences, travel, variety, and meaningful work. If you want to be successful, you'll have to look at your business model and make some changes. Include some of these to attract and keep new graduates:
- Flexible Work Schedules
- Travel Opportunities
- Meaningful Work Experiences
- Multiple Career Routes
- Company Outings
- New Grads Want Stability – This may sound contradictory since millennials don't like corporations and are known for switching jobs. However, millennials are actively seeking a job that will give them stability. They want to have a job they can depend on that can help them build a foundation and a future. If you want to attract new graduates, showcase the following qualities of your company:
- Long-term Business History
- Employees with Longstanding Company Involvement
- Future Plans for Your Company
- Clear Picture of Your Company Culture
- Recent Grads Avoid Work that Doesn't Matter- Over and over, millennials have stated that they care deeply about the work that they do. They want to make a difference in their world. This doesn't mean that your company has to be a big name game changer or be directly involved in humanitarian efforts. It does mean that they want to know the work they do is doing good and isn't solely tied to profitability. Show your company is making a difference by highlighting:
- Services You Offer and How They Help People
- Charitable Contributions
- Partnerships with Organizations and Foundations
- Advances that Serve People
- Millennials Don't Want the Ordinary- Millennials love creativity and thinking outside the box. They do not want to work for a company that continues to stick to old patterns and procedures. Show how your company is constantly evolving and creating new opportunities.
- New Grads Are Looking for Technology… But Not Just I.T. Jobs- While a lot of high-tech companies remain top of the list for millennial job seekers, they aren't all looking to work in the tech industry. They are, however, very tech savvy. If you want to hire new graduates, you need to make sure your company stays current with technology and social media. Make sure your company has:
- Social Media Pages
- Active Social Media Presence
- Highly Technologically Involved CEOs and Upper Management
- Variety of Technological Opportunities for Learning, Meetings, and Work
Make Millennials Come Running
If you offer the things millennials are looking for, they will be lining up outside your door. Showcase your company with an image that shows off your creativity, commitment to meaningful work, and a stable atmosphere. Promote all of this with a strong online and social media presence. New graduates want to work for a company that does meaningful work in new and exciting ways without a traditionally corporate setting. Offering these things will set you apart from your competitors and bring in new hires who will be excited to work for you.

The Mayan calendar forecasts the end of our Era on the 21 December 2012.
A french team has developped a smartphone application for iOs and Android : SURVIVAL 2012 to save your life, for those who believes that the end of the world will appear tomorrow.
2012 Survival application allows you to easily survive to the end of the world. To "save you" it will display a countdown ending on that day as well as a compass and a route to reach Bugarach, a small village southwest of Corbières (France), the only place in the world that would be saved on the day of the Apocalypse planned by the Maya.
If the user does not have the time to go there, the application said him to shake his phone in order to receive advice to take full advantage of the time he has left to live …
A very good app to distribute ads, but alos to laugh with friends…Image source: http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/mayan-calendar-december-21-2012-end-of-the-world.jpg

There is nothing like an early harvest to catch a winemaker off guard. While close followers of grapevine phenolics probably saw it coming, our "Raiders of the Lost Ark" approach saw us scrambling when the earliest harvest on record began in the 19th of March. What does this mean for wine quality? Well, a benign start to the season with high winds and a notable absence of frosts enabled the vines to get off to a flying start and set a better than average crop. A hot February and warm March then allowed even and rapid ripening followed by harvest decisions based on flavour and acidity rather than impending weather.
The feisty young wine begged a little extra time in oak and after due deliberation was granted a total of 18 months in barrel. This accentuated the savoury/tarry spectrum of the fruit with grated hazelnut, prostrate thyme and tart juniper berries notes initially dominating. Beneath this, a luxurial brocade of rich Christmas cake, biscuity brioche and pungent elderflower lend an open sensuality to a wine already dripping New World charm.
On the palate the wine has the silky smooth quality of a lounge lizard in a crimplene neck tie. The great breadth is evident, as flat-pack abs support muscular pectorals of well-rounded redcurrant fruit. A crackling structure of snapped cabin bread leads to a pithy texture as fine as ground charcoal, while a languidly lazy acidity trickles down around the edges. Like pennies from heaven, the mid-season heat can be sensed rather than felt and a surprising lick in the finish will keep you coming back for more.

Siddharth, who is currently staying in the US and is reportedly trying to get into Hollywood, thanked everyone for sending messages of support and love.
Sid has dated Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone and was also popular in the fashion circuit. He has made several appearances at award shows. Sid was also a regular at IPL matches and his appearances with Bollywood actors including Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone fueled tabloid gossips. Royal Challengers Bangalore was owned by Vijay Mallya.

"I just want to take a quick moment to say the biggest thank you ever to so many out there for sending me such amazing messages of support during this current situation of ours. That shows so much love and positivity. To be honest, it's not easy for any son to the read some of the things that have been written about his Dad. It's the most pleasant things in the world to read some of the comments that people leave on social media. But knowing that there are so many of you who send so much love and support helps. It really means a lot to me. This is me being honest with you, saying the biggest thank you. Times are looking slightly gloomy right now but my life is still filled so much light. And thanks to you," Sid said in a video.

Happy New Year!
I took the last week of 2009 off, so it's been a while since I've posted anything. I guess I should have done so, but I was on vacation and I just didn't feel like doing anything but eating and sleeping and watching mindless television.
Besides, I've been suffering the last of that pesky sinus infection I've had. The second round of antibiotics worked. The pills were so bitter that they suppressed my appetite. Like I said before, I never thought I'd say it, but I'd rather be fat than sick.
For New Year's Eve, I stayed home, and ate our usual good luck noodles. It's our Japanese tradition. Instead of sake (Japanese rice wine), we had Canadian ice wine. It was really good.
Today, my mother and I had another Japanese traditional New Year's Day breakfast of ozoni. It's a chicken-based soup with mochi (sweet rice cakes). Yummy.
My mother made oden, which is fish cakes simmered in a soy sauce-based broth.
We were invited to dinner at the Yonekawa home. The former owners of Tokyo Restaurant, prepared a Japanese feast. We ate for what seemed hours, and then they sent us home with a bunch of leftovers. We don't have to cook tomorrow!
That said, my annual New Year's Day resolution is to lose weight and get more exercise. That usually lasts maybe a week. But I'll say I'm going to do it again. Make those two resolutions.
That's it.
Cheryl, my sister-in-law, said she's going to lose 30 pounds by May. And she'll bet us $100 that she'll do it. My youngest sister Patty said she'd better do it because it will be Fred who will have to pay up if she doesn't! Cheryl's retired, just like Fred.
I think that's the extent of resolutions for our family.
What are yours?

Living healthy means a longer life, a positive mind, and you'll look better. Not only your body is healthy but emotionally as well. You'll be able to handle and cope with stress well and you'll be more protected against illness and diseases.
So where do you start to achieve a healthy life? It could be overwhelming at first when planning that leads to many people giving up easily when they haven't even started yet. In reality, living healthy is not that hard but rather simple. It's no doubt that it will require discipline but if you're really determined, nothing will be impossible in getting that healthy life you want.
Plan a healthy meal plan
The saying "You are what you eat" fully applies here. Don't take it literally that if you eat a potato, you are a potato. It means that if you eat healthy food, your body will be healthy too. If you eat junk food and unhealthily, don't be surprised if your body looked like junk and closed to illness.
Eat regularly and always remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Plan your diet well that best suit your body. Include fruits and vegetables in your meal because they have the important nutrient the body needs.
It's also important to know about protein, carbohydrates, calories, fats, and fibers. The most common misconception is about fat being bad for your body that people tend to avoid fat completely when the truth is, it's also an essential nutrient.
The body is designed to move more than sitting on the couch consuming potato chips while watching a series with dragons and swords. It's time to burn some calories and sweat out the unwanted fats.
A healthy diet plan works great with exercise. It helps you to give you more fuel on your pre-workout and heal your muscles on post-workout if done correctly.
Remember to know your limits because it's not healthy exercising strenuously. It's good to exercise beyond your limit but there's always a difference when you know you're about to pass out while exercising that could even risk you to injuries.
After a nice long workout and a healthy meal, it's time for a good night sleep. It's important for your body to rest for at least 8 hours a night. It helps you to recover your body and regenerate your energy. And who doesn't want to sleep after a long hard day? Nothing feels better than falling asleep drifting off in a world where nothing is impossible in the softness of your bed.
Sleep is the key to have a healthy life. A study shows that having less than 8 hours of sleep can increase your risk of serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even death.
Knowing this, you'll be thanking your mom that she makes you sleep during the afternoon when you don't. Now that you have taken it for granted, you'll be wishing that you still have those afternoon naps today you're older.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, but I can't NOT share photos and advice with you guys, on how to do the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. So this will be broken up into four posts so as not to overwhelm.
As most of you know, Fedora and I took an epic 3-day jaunt through Universal Studios Orlando, to play at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you should also do this. It was more fun than you can fit into a Gringott's Bank vault, and despite 3 full days spent entirely in their two Harry Potter-themed areas of the park we still didn't see everything.
Getting in:
Get a Park-to-Park pass so you can see both Hogsmeade (the original WWoHP park, in Islands of Adventure) and Diagon Alley/Nocturne Alley/Horizont Alley (the new one, in the main Universal property) AND experience the awesome train ride between the two. Yes, you take the Hogwarts Express to get between the two parks.
As with all theme parks, the earlier you arrive the better. We were told during busy times it's best to ride the rides early in the AM or after 4pm. We deliberately timed this vacation to be during a dead time (which, admittedly, it was crowded. Not crazy, but we did not have the place to ourselves), and the longest wait we experienced was 20 minutes.
BE AWARE that Islands of Adventure (where Hogsmeade is) closes at 7pm but Universal's main park (where Diagon Alley is) has variable closing times. For us it was 8pm (Sun), 7pm (Mon), and 6pm (Tues), which screwed over some of our plans.
Staying there:
We stayed at Monumental Movieland, for $57/night (through a USAA deal) for a 2-bed room. The hotel was excellent, considering how little time we spent there: everything was clean, no weird smells or stains, the staff was friendly (if exhausted all the time), there's a fantastic restaurant connected to it (called Black Angus, with Leslie the best waitress ever), and it's only about a mile walk from Universal.
For us, it was cheaper than staying at one of the on-site hotels, which are still a small distance from the park (staying at an on-site park gets you into Universal an hour before they open, and you can make reservations at The Three Broomsticks restaurant. BUT we were there in mid-January, so it was crowded but we ate there without a reservation, without a problem). If you want to stay at an on-site hotel, the Loews Portofino Bay is the most affordable.
Of course, staying at a basic hotel meant no free shuttle to/from the airport, so we used Mears Transportation, which was the cheapest and also very nice and easy ($32/person round trip).
And after the park closed we had to go ranging for dinner. We can tell you to absolutely avoid the George and Dragon pub on International Drive, and to absolutely enjoy your awesome NY-style pizza at Broadway New York Pizza.
Dressing the part:
We were bummed that we didn't have enough time to throw together Hogwarts uniforms (not that we could pass for teenagers), but we paid homage to our geekdom by dressing for our houses. As a dedicated Ravenclaw, I wore blue and bronze everything I could (clothes, jewelry, eyeshadow, hair decorations, etc). As a Gryffindor, Fedora followed suit.
You can buy all manner of Hogwarts wearables, from robes to knitted "R" Ron sweaters to quidditch shirts and more. But we didn't want to buy stuff, we wanted to have experiences, so we refrained. Also, as a tip: a lot of those items can be had via Etsy, Storenvy, and eBay for a fraction of what is charged in the park.
Next time (yes, there will be another trip out there) we've decided we'll make our version of house robes (emeritus professors, perhaps?), plus fun things like wand holsters.
Breaking news: On day 2, after epic fun and then a solid downpour all afternoon (which I loved), Fedora and I wandered to the seating area behind The Three Broomsticks, which gives you a great view of Hogwarts Castle. At night, in the rain, with a hot butterbeer in my hands…it was magical.
We reminisced about the past 3 years of adventures we've had, from vacations to unemployment. And then Fedora asked if I'd like to be his companion for a lifetime of adventures, and presented a ring (with his wand, and an "Accio Ring!", and some awesome slight of hand magic). I had to ask "Is this a proposal?!" because I'm a little slow on the uptake. And yes! It was. And of course, I said yes.
And then (after some kissing) I texted a photo of the ring on my hand to my family, answered my mother's immediate phone call while his friends texted him congrats, and whirled around The Three Broomsticks while the Yule Ball Waltz played in the background.
I can't believe I'm engaged!
I'm a coffee-fueled, hobby-addicted bibliophage who makes cruelty-free mineral eye shadows (inspired by novels). I'm usually in front of a screen (writing, reading, or gaming), but I've been known to emerge for geekery, good food, and dark chocolate.

Investigators today claimed that Australian cricketer Luke Pomersbach,arrested on charges of molesting an American woman,had told them that he inadvertently touched the victim and was under the influence of alcohol when the incident took place.
Police sources also said that the name of Royal Challengers player K P Appanna has cropped up in the case after he was identified in a CCTV footage. He was allegedly seen accompanying Pomersbach to the room of the victim.

Sources claimed that the Australian cricketer,who is playing for Royal Challengers in IPL,has confessed to the crime. They said he told investigators that he was under the influence of alcohol and inadvertently touched the victim.

He was allegedly seen with Luke at the corridor of the hotel,the official said,adding they were yet to ascertain whether he entered the room where the victim was staying.

On the sequence of events,the official said,when the alleged incident took place there were five persons Peerzada,Hamid,Sahil's friends Moiz and Miraj,and Pomersbach.

On December 18th, Yoon Jong Shin released the December music video for his monthly project, 'Anyway It's Christmas.' The song was a unique release in the fact that it addressed many events that have happened in Korea this past year. The events include: the protests calling for the South Korean president's impeachment, the Sewol Ferry incident, the Gangnam murder case, and the death of farmer Baek Nam-gi. This isn't the first time the singer has addressed current events in South Korea. The artist was recently present at the protests in Gwanghawamun Square with his wife. He posted on his official Instagram with the caption, "It's not the matter of progressive or conservative, right or left. It's about good or evil."
The music video itself is a beautiful animation which goes well with Yoon Jong Shin's strong, soothing vocals. The song encourages listeners to hope for a better future despite the "days we all shouted against unbearable things we can't forgive."
Yoon Jong Shin stated that when releasing the song, "I wish this song to remind people of this winter, the winter of 2016 when we all gathered to light up our candles and to raise our voices." During this winter season, if you're ever in need of a pick me up just take a listen to this song.
