YES! Of course we can meet before you book. It's always good to sit down together, grab a drink and discuss all your plans for your big day. The only thing better than sitting down talking weddings with an excited couple, is photographing your big day! If we don't meet before you book I will always try to meet up before the wedding day if possible.
you travel?
I am more than happy to travel to your location whether in the UK or abroad. Any travel time over 90 minutes may incur travel costs and expenses, but it will never be as expensive as you think. Just ask me for a quote.
Do you shoot weddings abroad?
Yes I do!! Just ask me for a bespoke quote for your day. Prices don't vary that much from a normal UK wedding.
Do you do formal
group shots?
Yes, we will always do group shots. We know this might be one of the few times you have all your nearest and dearest around you. We try to keep these to between 8 and 10 groups so it doesn't take too much time out of your day keep you away from your guests for too long. We work to a pre-arranged list and have an usher to help round up people to avoid delay.
What if I don't like my photograph being taken?
This is completely normal. I'm not a fan of it either! I try to keep you relaxed at all times as I feel this will capture the most natural images and gets the best photographs. I will always be there to guide and help you so nothing looks forced and is always fun and enjoyable.
Does all day coverage mean all day?
In a word, YES. I arrive at the bridal prep address at a time agreed with yourselves and stay all day until just after your first dance. There are no time limitations (within reason). I am yours all day. My second shooter will arrive when you require them to and normally leave as your evening guests arrive.
How will we receive our images?
All your edited images are supplied to you on a USB drive 8-10 weeks after your wedding. These images are yours and you can print them whenever and wherever you wish, as many times as you like. You will also have access to an online gallery which can be shared with friends and family and which will have options for purchasing prints through this too if you so wish.
Do we need to pay a booking fee?
A Booking fee of £400 is taken at the point of booking to secure your date. This is taken off the final balance of the wedding.
When do we pay the remaining balance?
The final payment is due on the first of the month before your wedding. So if you are getting married on 16th August, you would pay the final payment on the 1st of July. A reminder will be sent a month before.
Do we need to
feed you?
Providing food isn't a requirement but after non-stop work it certainly won't be turned down! Just let me know in advance so I know whether to bring food along on the day.

From Partial Amnesia to Getting A Masters Degree
Comments : 0
Cerebral thrombophlebitis was my lemon. Passing my exam and overcoming memory loss is my lemonade.
I am 26 years old, and a mother of two lovely girls. (26 months, and 11 months) I am 29 weeks pregnant. Last year I entered the clinic to give birth to my second baby. I gave birth after two hours of being there. It seemed to me that everything was OK. But a few minutes later, I fainted and went into shock. I had severe bleeding because my placenta fell apart during delivery. They gave me anesthesia and took the rest of the placenta out and gave me a blood transfusion. I was sent home the next day. I spent 15 days at my parents house. I was very sick and in a lot of pain but I had to push through the pain because I was breastfeeding both of my babies. On the16th and 17th day I had a terrible headache that wouldn't subside so my dad took me to the ER. They told me that I was just tired, but I knew something was wrong. I tried to convince my doctor that it was more than fatigue but he just sent me home. On the way home I began to vomit. When I tried to get out of the car, I felt a weird sensation in my legs and felt like I couldn't walk but I ignored it and just rushed to bed and slept. I felt paralyzed. That night, the last thing I remember was telling my mom that I just wanted to sleep and not wake up again. I became so sick that I couldn't take care of my babies. By that evening I lost consciousness. My dad called for an ambulance and I was admitted.
I had a CT scan and they were surprised to see that the right side of my brain had many blood clots. Even my jugular vein was clotted! The right side of my body was paralyzed. My entire family was in shock. I woke up the next day but could barely open my eyes because of the pain in my head. The doctors treated me with medication and I seemed to be getting better. The pain in my head went away, and the feeling in my body came back. I was normal again. Or so I thought.
I lost ten years of my memory. I forgot my babies, my husband, my whole present life. I had no idea what happened to me. I was talking and laughing with everyone but didn't once ask where I was or why. My mom finally asked me why I had not mentioned my babies. At that moment I remembered my eldest. My mom then told me that I gave birth twenty days ago. That sparked my memory and I remembered my babies. The doctors explained to me what happened but what they couldn't explain was why this was happening. I was young and healthy. I had two normal pregnancies and deliveries. I couldn't understand. Why did this happen to me?
I had a pen and paper to test my memory. I forgot my English and French and lost knowledge of my veterinarian skills. I spent ten days in the hospital. When I was released, I was so scared. I couldn't speak under pressure. Everything was so different. I felt like I traveled in a time machine. My husband and I eventually moved out into our own place again but I fell into depression. I hated my medication, cloudy weather, darkness, and noise. I lost my appetite and I started to lose weight. Even my husband was having a hard time being home and around me. I felt so alone. I hated everything and everyone. I wanted a new life. I wanted to start over.
I tried to feel normal again by cooking. I burnt my hands and cut my fingers but I kept cooking. I started cleaning and looking after all of my children. I kept smiling and telling myself that I was fine. I decided to try and become independent again. I used reminders on my phone to remember when I was supposed to take my medications and when I was supposed to eat. I would organize the house and write notes on a paper so I could remember where I put everything. After about a month, I was starting to feel good about myself again. In about three months, I started to remember things without my phone or notes. I went in for a Cerebral Angio -IRM and we were surprised to find that there were no more blood clots in my brain. I was trilled. I told myself that if I lived like a normal person with a damaged brain, now that my brain was healthy, I could achieve so much more. I felt so strong and like no one could bring me down or destroy my faith.
Then I found out I was pregnant again. I was devastated. I rushed to my doctor with the news and prayed that everything would turn out OK. Thankfully my doctor said that pregnancy was OK, I just needed to change my medication. But my baby girl is doing just fine inside of me.
I began studying for a masters exam. I reeducated myself and with lots of hard work and determination, I got my knowledge back. I am proud to report that I passed my exam in eighth place out of three hundred and forty people. Although the university only choose five people, I am still proud to have gotten my knowledge back. I hope my story touches people and gives people faith. Sickness couldn't stop me. I am a mother, I am strong and my kids gave me power.

Home to half the population of Manitoba, Winnipeg is a Canadian city of 633,000 that's famous for its music and performing arts festivals. Known as the Gateway to the West, the multicultural city rises out of the central Canadian prairies at the meeting point of the Red and Assiniboine rivers.
Winnipeg's Forks district was a gathering place for Aboriginal peoples for millennia and later became an important spot for fur trappers and buffalo hunters, riverboat workers and railway pioneers. A National Historic Site of Canada, today The Forks attracts 4 million visitors a year who come for its cafes, shops and cultural hubs like the Manitoba Museum and (soon-to-be-opened) Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The lively Exchange District is known for its early 20th-century architecture, and the Winnipeg Art Gallery, one of the oldest in Canada, is home to the world's largest collection of Inuit art.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kendra Wilkinson, star of WETV's "Kendra on Top," will be representing her "Love Candy by Kendra" line on TheExperienceChannel.com Internet TV series.
Wilkinson will appear via proprietary website technology developed in partnership with Detroit-based Jekyll and Hyde Advertising and Marketing. The star will hawk her romance-enhancing sexual wellness products created in partnership with Evolved Novelties.
The Experience Channel offers Internet TV viewers the ability to watch original program content while shopping.
"The addition of Kendra's new 'Love Candy' line and the opportunity to have Kendra appear on our channel are wonderful complements to what The Experience Channel is all about," Ron Corey, director of product development for The Experience Channel said. "It's also enjoyable to do business with people we like working with, such as our partners at Evolved Novelties."
Wilkinson added, "I've had the chance to browse and shop The Experience Channel's website and believe me, there is nothing like it out there. I think people will really find that shopping on their site is unlike anything they've ever done and will totally change how they view online shopping."
"The decision to form a strategic partnership with Evolved, as well as traditional entertainers and suppliers, will assure The Experience Channel customers of a broader and more diverse selection of intimate products in the privacy of their homes," said the channel's President, Shawn Moran.
"We welcome The Experience Channel's decision to expand its innovative website to include 'Love Candy by Kendra,'" Marcus West, vice president of marketing for Evolved Novelties said. "And we're thrilled to offer a whole array of sexual wellness products to complement the retail online program. I predict the channel will be phenomenally successful in linking online offerings with Internet TV."

That's Slide's special feature. You can map all kinds of stores to resource paths. You can even do this with different aspects of a resource. E.g. you can store all content of resources in a folder to the file system and all the meta data into an RDBMS. All other paths could well be mapped to be help in memory only (just as an example). Now it should be obvious that all stores need to participate in the global tx as a resource might affect all stores. They do so by implemention XAResource. > > As the server side Slide API is suboptimal (hihi) > > to program to and it is hard to change the transaction > > manager the solution was to create a client side JCA > > connector talking WebDAV to Slide that can participate > > in a JTA transaction of your J2EE server. > > This way you have a simply API (client side) to program > > to as well. > hmm... i would argue that it certainly makes a lot of sense > to have a repository implement jca, which certainly are > the plans ( model 2 on http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/arch/deploy.html ) > this would then also expose a LocalTransaction, which in > my mind is effectively what you get from implementing > your proprietary (local) tm. > i do not entirely see why webdav needs to be in the picture > for that. WebDAV and the client library and WebDAV JCA implementation for Slide is like JDBC and SQL for RDBMS. Using the client Side JCA implementation you can have both a local and a distributed transaction. As a side note if anyone asks I always recommend not to use Slide's native API, but to go the "SQL and JDBC" way. This even makes your implementaion independent of Slide and you could *theoretically* - just like with SQL and JDBC ;) - exchange Slide with another WebDAV server - like SVN for example - which people seem to experiment with already. > > Having said that, maybe it gets a bit easier to understand > > where I am coming from.

Mountain Recording Retreat 2018 Workshops, Mentoring Golf, and Pie!
The Mountain Recording Retreat is intentionally not like anything else. It is about community, music, and great sound. It's an opportunity to spend a week learning, listening, and relaxing in a community made up of world-class mentors and fellow music makers.
We will have daily recording workshops, listening panels, one-on-one mentoring, DIY gear building workshops, and bingo where you can win prizes from the Capon shop and maybe even some pro audio items.
This year we will also have a high end game audio track with Mark Kilborn (Call of Duty) in our Game Audio Retreat.
Learn from World Class Mentors
Ronan Chris Murphy
Ronan Chris Murphy has diverse credits ranging from Prog-Rock legends King Crimson to YouTube sensation Tay Zonday to shock rockers GWAR and everything in between, including Tony Levin, Steve Morse, Terry Bozzio, Alexia, Martin Sexton, Ulver, Jamie Walters, Steve Stevens and Nels Cline. His productions have charted as far away as Iceland, Greece and Malaysia. He also works on music for non-album projects including the hit Norwegian film Uno and video games Mafia III and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. He is the founder of Recording Boot Camp, which helped pioneer the recording intensive concept and has launched an online training series.
Daily Schedule
Each day will feature workshops by various mentors and throughout the week there will be listening sessions where you can have your music evaluated by the mentors and other participants, but there is also time carved out to socialize, collaborate and enjoy the beautiful resort.
Lectures and Listening Panels
We are still working on the schedule for 2018, but previous workshops have included: DIY Mastering, Mixing Workflow, Working with Impulse Responses, Breathing Life into Virtual Instruments, Behind the Scenes of an Orchestral Session at Abbey Road, Intro to Synthesis, Vocal Production….
Several nights throughout the week, you\'ll have a chance to have your work listened to and critiqued by your mentors and fellow attendees.
Build your own gear—no experience required! Peterson Goodwyn of DIY Recording Equipment will present a series of DIY workshops:
- Introduction to Soldering: build your own SAFE Interface Protector kit
- Build a Passive DI Box*
- Build a 500-Series Rack or Opto Compressor*
*There will be extra materials fees for these classes.
The other day, I applied what I learned at the retreat to a song I had previously mixed. Listening back, it was night and day. It was stunning: the clarity, the punch, the total difference. Were the old mixes bad? Not at all. But the new ones were completely different. And better. Thank you Ronan, John, Brad, Mark, Peterson , and all of the other participants. I can hear your voices in my ears as I mix—this record is going to sound great, and it\'s because of you. All of you.
I had never touched a soldering iron before the retreat. In the DIY workshop, Peterson led a small group of newbies on soldering best practices and made all of us comfortable with the soldering and build process. In those few workshops, I built, a SAFE Audio interface protector kit, a passive Reamplifier, and two fantastic 500 series CP-5 preamps. Afterwards, I went completely crazy and built two 500 series opto compressors from DIY 1176. All of these came off without a hitch and were fantastic additions to my studio. None of this would have been possible without the good folks at the Recording Retreat.
Capon Springs is an all-inclusive resort in rural WV, about two hours from Washington DC. The resort features a golf course, spa, beautiful hiking, and best of all: no wifi in the rooms. Being unplugged allows us to spend a few days focused on recording and community. We eat three meals a day together in the communal dining hall, where the talk of audio gear is exceeded only by the talk of pie.
What is it like at the Mountain Recording Retreat?
Pricing Includes a private room for 5 nights, 3 all-you-can eat meals a day, workshops and resort amenities
Private room with private bath: $1,497 (sold out)
Private room with shared bath*: $1,425
*Shared bath is like a European style inn. Your bedroom has a sink and the bathroom is down the hall with multiple private shower and toilet stalls.
Non-participating spouse/family member in shared room (limit one per full registration): $675
Optional expenses: Golf on the regulation course is not included, but we are doing a special Recording Retreat rate of $18/day for playing the big course (play all you want per day, cart rental is extra), and there is no charge for the par 3 course. Loaner clubs and bags are available free of charge. This is a great place to try golf for the first time. Golf carts are an additional fee, but it is a really nice course to walk. Spa Treatments are an additional cost.
The Beginner Electronics and DIY workshops are at no additional cost. The slightly more advanced DIY workshops have materials fees to partially offset the cost of the kits from DIY RE.

MASONTOWN, Pa. (AP) - October 3, 2008 --Someone might have tried to harm yet another calf at a southwestern Pennsylvania farm, where three other cows have been skinned.
Lou Diamond says he was milking cows Thursday morning when he heard a noise in his barn. He says he found a calf missing and its collar cut. He found the calf a short distance from the barn and, Diamond says, he believes he thwarted someone from skinning the animal.
Diamond says the neck of a three-day-old calf was skinned this week at his Fayette County farm, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh. The animal named Sugar Lump is recovering after surgery.
Two other newborn calves at his farm have died after being skinned alive recently.
Rewards of several thousand dollars are being offered.

Children's author and literacy advocate Vanessa Betts was the guest speaker at the Feb. 16 Black History Month observance held at the Frontier Club.
Following lunch and a game of "Educational Jeopardy," Betts spoke about the importance of educating a child. She said her primary lesson in black education originated at home.
"You see, the family is the root of everything that befalls our society. Lessons shared through our parents and grandparents, the Sunday school teachers and aunts and uncles, they create a paradigm for developing our moral value system," she said.
"The curriculum that was used had nothing to do with student success. The learning method that I was most influenced by was the proverbial statement 'It takes a village to raise a child'."
Betts said the support of family and the legacy of the village sharing history was an asset to her as well as others that grew up with her.
"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture, is like a tree without roots."
Betts said she is thankful for being encouraged to practice healthy reading habits and being exposed to materials and resources that reiterated her ability to be comfortable in her own skin.
"The components of black education are complex. We have the responsibility to educate our family and the village and perpetuating the legacy and culture of our forefathers who proved that blacks were not substandard people, but a people purposed to excel even in the midst of crisis," Betts said.
"We have a responsibility, not just to our children, but to all the children in the village."
"For decades we have been compelled to readdress this issue of black education by dissecting the growing concern of disparity in education among black students," Betts said. "We have heard that the education system is broken and fractured. The same is said about the family structure. Is there a parallel here?"
Betts went on to say that there are people who wish to eradicate the past and exclude the brutal and corrupt treatment of blacks from the curriculum of history.
"Many of these people have no clue of the repercussions racism has caused. The very institution, school that is, responsible for educating our society is the same system that often inflicts burden of disparity among black students," she said.
Betts said she recently read a startling statistic that caused her great concern. The statistic claimed that the state of Arizona predicts how many prison beds they will need in the future by factoring in the number of kids who can't read by the time they are in fourth grade.
Betts said she is concerned because of the disproportionate amount of time that parents are spending on asking kids about their day at school, checking on their homework and collaborating with their teachers.
"We have replaced reading to our little ones with downloading so called interacting apps," she said. "Please don't misunderstand me, technology is amazing, but it is just a tool, a tool for stimulation for promoting learning."
"I am concerned when more students find more pleasure being on their cell phones than spending time reading a book."
Following the event Betts stopped by the White Sands Post Library to donate a copy of her book "A Grasshopper in my Peas".

In this book, my children and I blend traditional Jewish learning and personal experience in our commentary on Genesis, making it unlike any other book written about the biblical text and rabbinic literature related to Genesis. Like most books of biblical commentary written by rabbis, it examines the text through the eyes of education, experience and wisdom. Unlike other books about Genesis, it also explores the biblical text through my children's eyes of curiosity and discovery.
Encountering Angels is designed for anyone interested in the study of religious texts and engaged in a personal, spiritual journey. The book will serve as an excellent primer for the study of the Hebrew Bible and will provide an introduction to the classical method of biblical interpretation. It will also be a valuable resource for adults who wish to study the text of Genesis alongside its classical commentaries, discover their relevance to 21st century life and share these principles of classical text study with the next generation.
As I continue to revise the the manuscript, I have begun the process of finding a publisher for Encountering Angels: Reading Genesis with my Children. To stay up-to-date on the progress of this project, visit this page!

We're here to continue our original mission and SAVE MORE SCI FI! But we can't do it without YOUR HELP!
We've seen too many sci fi books that are out of print, out of circulation, and, worst of all (given the subject matter) unavailable in any digital format. Meaning, as of now, these books may never be seen in the future imagined in their pages. That's just not right.
Here's what we're doing about it: Each month we choose one great classic, obscure or otherwise fascinating sci-fi book that's no longer in print and not available online, track down the copyright holder and/or author (if they're still around), acquire or otherwise clear the copyright, and publish the title as an e-book, for little or no cost. Our supporters and followers help us find titles they remember and love, and we share the stories behind the stories, including in each e-book what we learned about the novel, the author and their history along the way.
This is part adventure, part detective story, and part story about the intersection of the past and the future. So as we dig into a particular book, and pull on the various threads that we need to to make sure we can share it without taking something that isn't ours, we end uncovering the story of that book. We plan on sharing that story, telling you what we learn about the books, their authors, their histories, and the adventures we had bringing it to you.
Rescuing beloved, forgotten, fondly remembered, out-of-print and otherwise lost sci-fi books by bringing them into the digital domain is more than a labor of love – it's our way of celebrating visions of futures past that shaped the way we live now. But while it's all in a day's work for your average, ordinary, time-traveling bookshop, WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!

Article Text
Introduction Head injuries represent a concern in skiing and snowboarding, with traumatic brain injuries being the most common cause of death.
Aim To describe the mechanisms of head and face injuries among World Cup alpine and freestyle skiers and snowboarders.
Methods We performed a qualitative analysis of videos obtained of head and face injuries reported through the International Ski Federation Injury Surveillance System during 10 World Cup seasons (2006–2016). We analysed 57 head impact injury videos (alpine n=29, snowboard n=13, freestyle n=15), first independently and subsequently in a consensus meeting.
Results During the crash sequence, most athletes (84%) impacted the snow with the skis or board first, followed by the upper or lower extremities, buttocks/pelvis, back and, finally, the head. Alpine skiers had sideways (45%) and backwards pitching falls (35%), with impacts to the rear (38%) and side (35%) of the helmet. Freestyle skiers and snowboarders had backwards pitching falls (snowboard 77%, freestyle 53%), mainly with impacts to the rear of the helmet (snowboard 69%, freestyle 40%). There were three helmet ejections among alpine skiers (10% of cases), and 41% of alpine skiing injuries occurred due to inappropriate gate contact prior to falling. Athletes had one (47%) or two (28%) head impacts, and the first impact was the most severe (71%). Head impacts were mainly on snow (83%) on a downward slope (63%).
Conclusion This study has identified several characteristics of the mechanisms of head injuries, which may be addressed to reduce risk.
- alpine skiing
- freestyle skiing
- snowboarding
- helmet
- head

"Uhhhggghh…" Hannah "Tahlia" Solo thumped her third empty mug of ale down onto the table. "I hate my life," she moaned.
{You wouldn't have this problem if you learned to drink in moderation,} said her companion, except that since he was a seven-foot-tall abominable snowman, it came out as, "Blar!"
"Thish is no time for moderation!" Hannah replied, as she wobbled to her feet. "My reputation is ruined! My good name implunged! My honour all messed up badly-like! This shall not stand!"
{Neither can you, apparently,} he replied, as she toppled to the floor.
"Shaddap." She crawled back to her bar-stool. "'Nuther round, bartender!"
It had all gone south so fast, she thought. Just a week ago, she had been known far and wide as Tahlia, Pirate Queen of the Blood Sea, the most feared and respected smuggler and privateer this side of Azeroth, having won the moniker from the previous queen in a deadly game of Tic-Tac-Toe (with cannons). She commanded a fleet of ships, owned her own island, and had a promising line of designer shirts in the works.
And then her idiot identical twin sister, Bikke, decided to dance naked in the sacramental fountain during the coronation of Prince Phillip whilst singing a questionable ballad about the queen's giant behind.
Queen Gluteus had been in the front row. She was displeased.
One writ of execution later, and she'd fled the country, disguising herself as a pickle barrel. Her island was seized, her crew quit, and the shirt company wouldn't even return her letters. Only her stalwart companion, Chewbacca, had stayed with her, and that was because he owed her a life-debt.(1)
Hannah tossed back another mug. "Like I said, Chewie –"
{I keep telling you, my name is Karnon…}
"– Your name is CHEWIE and you will like it!" she hissed. She cleared her throat. "Like I said, you and me, we need to get back into the big leagues. We're the roughest, toughest, most badass pair of mercenaries this world's ever seen, yet because of my thrice-damned sister I can't even get a job as a cabin girl."
{Couldn't you prove that it wasn't you?}
"How? You know I was alone on Ilsa de Diablo Fuego Grandé Por Favore stealin' Captain Sparrow's golden pantaloons for the queen at the time. I got no alibi, and no friends that didn't either see her or get paid off by the queen herself."
{Well, you could always show them your Mark of the Tiger.}
"My what?"
{You know, your tattoo? The one your sister doesn't have?"
All the alcoholic flush drained from Hannah's cheeks in an instant. "No one must know about the tattoo," she said, in a hoarse whisper.
{Why not? Is it because you got it done on the inside of your left b–"
Karnon suddenly found himself nose-to-nose with the pirate queen, her eyes burning like tiny suns. "NO. ONE. MUST. KNOW," she hissed.
{Okay, okay!} he growled, arms raised in placation.
"No one! Not ever!"
{Just a suggestion.} As she returned to her drink, he added, sotto voce, {I think it's cute.}
Hannah took a swig, and belched. "No, Chews, that's not the way. We'll do it like old times, like all the good 'venturers(2) do it: we'll sit here in a bar 'n drink till either nature or glory calls us to action."
{Did you just hear someone yell, 'Random Encounter'?}
Suddenly, the bar's front door was smashed to flinders. Through the ravaged portal clanked a massive man in crimson armour so huge he could barely fit through the doorframe.
"I AM HUGO THE GLORIOUS!" he bellowed. "For too long has the nefarious Doctor Claw blighted these lands! I seek warriors brave and true to join my band in our quest to cleanse the land of his taint! WHO IS WITH ME!?"
The bar went silent. Several irritated barflies plucked splinters out of their beer and hair.
Hugo sighed. "We have an excellent dental plan."
Pandemonium broke out as swarthy men and women flocked around him, some offering their swords, others demanding he pay off their tab.
"That's it!" cried Hannah. "That's our ticket to glory, Chewie!"
Karnon looked incredulous. {You want to work with him?}
"Gods no!" she replied, rolling her eyes. "Man has an ego the size of a dreadnought. Besides, he still hasn't forgiven me for that incident in Santo Marino."
They both paused to have a good laugh at the memory.
"No," she continued, wiping a tear from her eye, "no, Chewie, I mean we go get that guy ourselves! We'll rustle up a crew, knock over a few monster strongholds, and get rich and famous!"
{And save the world?} Karnon suggested.
"Yeah, sure. Okay, I'll take downtown, you search the slums. Meet you back here in an hour!"
1. About $50.27, plus tax.
2. Read: unemployed murderers.

It's like the search for the Holy Grail. Before the days of King Arthur and the roundtable of Camelot, people have hunted for this holy relic and its promise of eternal life. Just the same, consumers the world over have searched for their lives for the holy grail of the credit card world: a card with 0 annual percentage rates, or no interest at all. Such a card could provide eternal shopping, and a life without fear of debt.
The reality of the situation, however, may be slightly different. Don't get us wrong. A card with 0 annual percentage rate is a beautiful thing. It allows you to carry debt on the card without fear of swamping your finances with interest payments. On the other hand, the 0 annual percentage rate is not a free ride to spend to excess. After all, most of these 0 annual percentage rate, or 0 APR cards, have a time limit. The carriage, so to speak, eventually turns back into the pumpkin, and then you could be left holding the bag with a maxed out credit card and a new APR of, say, 22 percent.
So, what exactly is a 0 APR credit card? Is it such a great deal anymore, or should you not chase after the holy grail? It depends, as with any great decision. If you plan to be making a lot of heavy purchases soonsuch as to decorate a new houseyou may want to find yourself a 0 APR card, but do so with the understanding that you must be able to pay that baby off when the 0 annual percentage rate special wears off.
Don't just jump at any 0 annual percentage rate card, though. There are always other considerations to make when you're on the market for a new credit card. For instance, how widely is the new card going to be accepted. If you travel a lot, this is important to know. MasterCard and Visa are the two most widely accepted brands of cards on the market, with 17 million and 16.2 million locations respectively.
And of course, every credit card now has a rewards program. What sort of rewards programs would suit you bestone that involves cash back and discounts on every purchase, or would you rather earn points toward travel and other prizes? Plus, no matter what the rewards are, compare the ratio of earned points to dollars spent. The higher this ration, the better the rewards program is, no matter what the rewards are.
Lastly, check the fees on these 0 APR cards. Is there an annual fee, a cash transfer fee, late fees, stiff penalties, etc.? These also could help you make up your mind about the card.

Joshua Shapiro recommends Find Credit Cards for finding a 0 APR credit card. See http://www.findcreditcards.org/type/0-apr.php for more information.

I really love the way this looks in my Xterra. It looks so good! I used all but three of the pieces that it came with. One that was cut for the right side of the steering wheel was too big. The other two unused pieces just looked kind of weird when we put them on there. Other than those things i absolutely love the way it looks. The installation took me and my girlfriend about an hour and was actually pretty easy. It was worth it. Make: Nissan Model: Xterra Year: 2008
I love this product! It looks so good in my Xterra. The reason I say almost is that 2 minor pieces looked weird so i didn't use them and one piece was cut too big. Also one door panel piece has begun unsticking a little on one side. Other than those few things I love it. It looks so nice. The install was easy with a partner. I think this product is so worth it.

Model Iskra Lawrence Promotes Body Positivity By Refusing To Retouch Her Photos
We've just found our new body image hero.
Meet Iskra Lawrence, a model from Worcestershire who is putting her huge social media following to good use by promoting body positivity.
The 25-year-old size-14 model, who is also the managing editor for Runway Riot, is taking a stance against Photoshopping and retouching because, as she puts it, "Who says cellulite is a flaw[?] YOU decide what beauty is and it's deeper than skin deep."
According to Runway Riot, the "champion of body diversity" was often told she was "too big" by modelling agencies, yet "not big enough" for plus-modelling auditions. Now, she is signed to JAG Models and is devoted to improving the image of women in the media. All of her Instagram photos are captioned with body positive comments, and often hashtagged with #everyBODYisbeautiful to promote self-love and acceptance. She even lovingly refers to her marks as "tiger stripe stretch marks" and "cellulite lightening bolts."
"You won't see me promoting tea detoxs(sic) or anything that I don't actually use or wear or believe in," Iskra captions an Instagram post. "I am NOT an Instagram model and do not earn a living off it. I post because I hope to grow my platform to share my experiences and hopefully help other girls that are going through what I went through."
As Bustle puts it, Lawrence's refusal to retouch her pics is a "bold, body positive move forward against the Photoshopping culture of our mainstream media and society," especially in a world where "Instagram models" and celebrities are known to heavily edit their images.

"Searching for Sugar Man"
Posted: Wednesday,July 23,2014
If you've seen the movie, you know what I am talking about. Sugar Man was a completely unknown American singer (Sixto Rodriguez) that became unbelievably popular in South Africa. He remained fairly unknown in his own country until the Academy Award-winning documentary was released a few years ago.
The "Sugar Man" equivalent in the Voice Biometrics world is the South African Social Security Administration (SASSA) project deployed by Net1 and AGNITIO. More than 7 million citizens have already been enrolled and almost 400K verifications are done per month. But very little is known about it outside of South Africa.
In February 2014 SASSA announced the launch of a Proof of Life biometric certification for all pensioners. A clever combination of fingerprints and voiceprin...

OLD SAYBROOK — Twelfth-graders will spend more time in school and less time learning life's nonacademic lessons when school resumes in the fall.
School board members agreed recently to tighten senior privileges at Old Saybrook Senior High School.
In contrast to the open campus of recent years, which has allowed seniors to leave school whenever they didn't have a class, 12th-graders in good academic standing next year will be permitted to come to school late and leave before last period if they have unscheduled time.

With this week's eviction of Mark Jansen from "Big Brother" Season 19, the game will finally force the alliance of eight that has rules the house so far to turn on one another. Veteran player Paul Abrahamian has been at the top of that alliance since he entered the house, carefully maneuvering back and forth between multiple power couples. With Paul keen to sit back and let those duos get all the blood on their hands, he heads into what could be the most turbulent week of the house sitting as pretty as before.
Which couple will win an all-important endurance-based Head of Household comp and get the opportunity to strike first? The answer to that will determine exactly where the power, and Paul's allegiance, shifts to next. Below is our seventh power ranking of the season including the eight players still in the game. Read my thoughts on each of the players, listed from the most powerful to the least, and then update your predictions for Thursday's live episode.
1. Paul Abrahamian (even)
2. Christmas Abbott (+3 spots)
3. Josh Martinez (+1 spot)
One of the biggest revelations in the last week of episodes is that Paul currently considers Christmas and Josh his ideal final three alliance. Up until now I had imagined that it was Alex and Jason because that's who he's been making most of his decisions with, but in reality that never made sense because either of them could easily defeat him in front of a jury. Christmas and Josh, on the other hand, have much more bad blood with the four earliest members of the jury and would enter the finale at a severe disadvantage, even compared to a vet. Paul did Christmas and Josh a huge solid this week without them even knowing it by expertly pitting the Alex + Jason pair against the Matt + Raven pair, but more than that he got each to agree that they should be taken with them to a final five scenario. At this point, it's almost laughable how the three most powerful people don't even have to win comps to slide straight to the finals — everyone else is just willing to string them along to the finish line.
4. Kevin Schlehuber (+4 spots)
5. Raven Walton (+2 spots)
Speaking of players that don't have to do anything to stay safe, Kevin and Raven seem to be less vulnerable now than they were in the last couple weeks. In Kevin's case, the shiftiness that made Alex and Paul wary of him seems to have dissipated — at one point his name was tossed around as an option for eviction instead of Mark! But now the focus will be on breaking up the three pairs, leaving Kevin as a tool/vote for them to use against one another. For Raven, she's bodyguarded by her knight in a shining blue T-shirt, Matt, as long as he's in the house with her. I have every reason to believe that in the event that Matt and Raven are the next nominees that Matt will literally sacrifice himself to keep her in the house — he might even go as far as winning the Power of Veto and pulling her off the block instead of himself. And he'd do it proudly! Cue eye roll.
6. Alex Ow (-4 spots)
7. Jason Dent (-4 spots)
8. Matthew Clines (even)
That leaves Alex, Jason and Matt as the most vulnerable heading into this week of unknown power. Between the two of them, Alex and Jason have won six power comps — Alex's two HOHs and one POV and Jason's two POVs and one HOH — making them the most competitive pair of the remaining three. That puts a huge target on their back and I'd guess that if anyone other than them wins this HOH that they'll be the two nominees. That being said, it is an endurance comp and Alex is the exact type of competitor that usually wins those. Matt, on the other hand, is the least competitive player in the house (and admittedly so), and while he might not be a threat in that regard he's a threat because he is ride or die for Raven. The thought process is that if Raven were eliminated before Matt that he has greater potential of turning up the gas and winning comps than she does if he's evicted first, so it makes most sense to get him out instead of her. And, again, all signs point to him being willing to self-evict before he lets the house vote her out anyway so if Alex and Jason wins HOH, I can't imagine a scenario where Matt isn't happily gliding out the front door on his white horse.

Big announcements coming in Mayor's race
[trib_ndn vid=25124215]SAN DIEGO – Big announcements are expected this week in the race for San Diego mayor.
Former mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio has scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m, Tuesday to announce whether he plans to run. His camp is not confirming his decision one way or the other, but did send out a campaign photo this weekend with some of DeMaio's loved ones holding 'Carl DeMaio for Mayor' signs.
City Council President, and current acting Mayor Todd Gloria also said he will make an announcement Tuesday about whether he'll run for mayor. Tuesday morning he said he planned to make a statement "around midday."

If you liked our Arctic Small World then you might like this Frozen Dinosaur Excavation! I got the idea to use frozen baking soda from Fun At Home With Kids. Their Dinosaurs and Frozen Sensory Snow activity has inspired me to create so many frozen activities for my kids! Frozen sensory snow is perfect for hot summer days because it lets the kids play with something that keeps them cool and doesn't make too much of a mess (which is a plus!). Frozen baking soda also stays pretty cold for several hours.
So for this activity I gathered up a few of our fossilized dinosaurs, a glass pan, a big box of baking soda and a cup of water. Bean helped mix this together with me and that's why the dinosaurs are in the pan, otherwise feel free to mix up the baking soda with water before adding dinosaurs, because it's just easier to mix together by hand that way.
Add the baking soda into the pan and pour a bit of water over it. Keep in mind that water will dissolve the baking soda, so you don't want to use too much. You just want the baking soda to feel moist before freezing it. We did use a 64 oz container of baking soda, but basically you just need to add enough that it covers the bones.
Once the baking soda was thoroughly moist I smoothed it out and left a few of little feet and ends of tails sticking out, so the kids would know where to start looking. I popped the pan into the freezer for about 2 hours. I was busy so I didn't check sooner than that, but so long as it is cold it is ready to be played with.
Two hours later it was frozen and ready to be played with. I set up the pan on a towel in the living room. I also gave them a tray, a tupperware filled with water, two squirt bottles, two shovels and a paint brush.
They explored everything first. They sprayed the tray and the tupperware of water, each other, dipped the paintbrush in the water and touched their wet hands to the snow. They spent about 20 minutes playing before they really got into the bin.
I talked to them about dinosaurs who lived in the arctic. I told them about what it meant to be warm-blooded and cold-blooded, and how most dinosaurs lived in warm climates. But these special dinosaurs lived in the far north. I showed them a map and pointed to where we were and asked Bean if she could find the north where these dinosaurs lived. They apparently migrated north from our home and settled in Northern Canada where they fell asleep to rest and were caught in a snow storm like the one in the show.
The exposed bones made it a little bit easier to find the dinosaurs. They sprayed the water on the bones and as the water dissolved the baking soda, more and more of the dinosaur became exposed.
They also used to paint brush to help brush away some of the baking soda.
Bean scooped up the excess snow and dumped it on the tray so there was less snow to sort through. Whenever a dinosaur was discovered they would move them to the tupperware of water to rinse them off.
Bean used the paintbrush to "paint water" on the dinosaurs. The excess water helped dissolve the baking soda and this made the dinosaurs become exposed faster. She really liked how mushy the "wet snow" around them became and later pretended it was snow mud and would get the dinosaurs stuck in it.
Munchkin really liked rinsing off his hands and every time he did he removed all the dinosaurs first, but would put them back. Bean barely worried about rinsing her hands and kept smooshing the wet snow with her hands.
Painting the stegosaurus finally paid off and he was discovered!
Since this method worked so well, Bean continued to paint the other dinosaurs until she found more of them. She also used the shovel to dig around the dinosaurs.
Look at how fantastic this stuff looks when it's wet! It's so soft and smooth and isn't gritty like snow. It was still plenty cold after two hours though! Bean even used it to make imprints of the dinosaurs she found.
Munchkin, at one point, had to line them all up. But by then they were looking for more stuff to do with the bin. We had already named all the dinosaurs, counted some of their toes or horns or spikes, and talked about what they would have ate if they lived in the north. So I brought out a squeezy bottle filled with vinegar, water and glitter.
Immediately they squeezed the bottles and giggled with excitement as little eruptions formed on their snowy terrain. Soon, most of the bin became a vinegary lake.
What a glorious slushy snow mud world!
Occasionally bubbles formed and would surprise the kids and then they would go digging to see what made the bubbles.
They then discovered that if they squeezed the empty bottles, they could blow air on the surface of the water and make little ripples. And if they submerged the tip and squeezed, little air bubbles would come popping out.
Munchkin had so much fun with his empty bottle and didn't even care about refilling it. He just liked that he could keep squeezing it and make bubbles appear all by himself. :)
This sensory bin turned out to be multi-functional. After they were done excavating the dinosaur bones, Munchkin added a few toy cars to give them a slush bath. :)

Cool Public Transport - part 3
Last year I´ve been to Moscow and have once again seen the fabulous Metro they have there. It´s without doubt the most beautiful public transport system in the world. It is tidy and shiny, people respect the public space and there is no vandalism. Also, there is enough space in most places and the public uses the Metro extensively. In Berlin people also use the U-Bahn extensively and in many stations, particularly along the outskirts of town there is enough room to swing a cat. But in the downtown areas it can get crampy. And in the most busy lines of U 1, U 2 and U 8 there is something that I couldn´t detect in the Moscow lines. A very own atmosphere per line, the looks of the carriages, the people riding the lines and of course the certain aesthetics, or rather non-aesthetics of certain stations. Perhaps it´s a subjective perception, something one sees and feels when using certain routes often at certain times. The Berlin subway deals with the unique fact that both city halfs had their own system and development going on during the time of separation. There are also two carriage sizes when it comes to the width. The narrower versions tend to be more cosy, then again they are crampier during the rush hours, which most people don´t book as a nice experience. Yet, under the line I have to say that I really like using the subway despite some of the messy side effects. Sometimes a homeless person can´t hold in their natural urge, every once in a while a drunken tourist is sick between stations. But hey, the big city is not only a pleasure ground.
Alexanderplatz is one of my favorite stations because of it´s intersection
character and slightly confusing directives.
The iconic U 1 highline approaching Schlesisches Tor. The newest
generation carriages aren´t as cool as the older models.
U 1 at 2 am - it´s the night line.
Hallesches Tor above ground station.
U 1 rattling along.
The surroundings of Gleisdreieck are particularly interesting due to it´s long history of intensive use of all rail lines combined. The translation of Gleisdreieck means track-triangle, referring to the concentration of tracks from the former rail yard, the subway, the commuter lines and the long distance trains.
The tiles have the colors of Alexanderplatz, but it´s in fact
a staircase at Gesundbrunnen (Nordbahnhof).
Rosenthaler Platz late at night. The slanguage term of Orient Express for the U 8 line referrs to it´s
connection of Neukölln and Wedding, both neighborhoods with a high Turkish population.
Back at Alexanderplatz.

Eat This Now: The Wellness Edition
Aviyal at Pondicheri
Aviyal is a beloved South Indian coconut-and-ginger stew that's seasoned with coconut oil and kari leaves. Pondicheri's version (pictured above) offers a fragrant bowl full of cauliflower, squash, carrots, and okra, all topped with cumin chile oil and served with delicate turmeric rice and peanut chutney. It's vegan, gluten-free, and the very best kind of comfort food. This dish is one of many reasons we're glad Houston chef Anita Jaisinghani has brought her lovely food (and creative pastries) to NYC.
Neighborhood: NoMad MAP
Kale Tabouleh at Boutros
At this handsome new Brooklyn Heights spot chef-owner Allen Dabagh—a Brooklyn local of Lebanese and Syrian descent—takes his inspiration from all over the world. But his bright kale tabouleh succeeds by sticking with Middle Eastern flavors: toasty bulgur spiked with parsley root, mint, and lemon, plus plenty of kale, so you can get your greens in.
Neighborhood: Brooklyn Heights MAP
Oishi Oishi at Brodo Broth Shop
Marco Canora began selling his bone broth from a window of his East Village restaurant Hearth. Now he has a brick-and-mortar location on Hudson St devoted to the rich, meaty elixir. Guests can build their own broth, with ad-ons like fresh peppermint, cilantro, oregano, parsley, and coconut oil. Or stick with Canora's excellent creations. We can't get enough of the Oishi Oishi: chicken broth redolent with shiitake tea, reishi powder, roasted-garlic purée and grass-fed butter.
Neighborhood: West Village MAP
Whole Steamed Orata at Massoni
Dale Talde's self-proclaimed "inauthentic Italian" restaurant in the Arlo Hotel can tend to err on the side of decadent—think killer fluffy pancakes with prosciutto, and cocktails named after New York neighborhoods. So go with a righteous, ethereal main for balance: whole steamed orata. The flaky fish gets plenty of flavor from olive oil, soy sauce, and a caper-ginger relish, along with a welcome crunch from marcona almonds.
Neighborhood: NoMad MAP
Aloha Bowl at eatsa
Founded by tech/software gurus, eatsa just might be the restaurant of the future. Guests order on screens, while vegetarian bowls are magically whipped up behind the scenes. When the food is ready, customers retrieve their dishes from automated cubbies. Whether this is hype or genuinely cool, their Aloha Bowl makes a near perfect lunch. A mound of quinoa comes piled up with edamame, orange miso, portabello poke, cucumber, macaroni salad, and taro root chips. So healthy and yummy.
Neighborhood: Midtown MAP
Union Square Café
Bibb and red oak leaf lettuce salad at Union Square Café
The new Union Square Café isn't showy, but their simple dishes tend to be phenomenal. A holdover from the original location, the Bibb and red oak leaf lettuce salad is and it's the platonic ideal of a salad, with tender, crunchy greens tossed in a tangy Dijon vinaigrette and studded with sourdough croutons and slivers of Gruyère. Light, satisfying, and lovely.
Neighborhood: Gramercy MAP
Tahini-date Smoothie at Samesa
After operating as a pop-up in both Brooklyn and Montauk, brothers Max and Eli Sussman have now launched the first standalone location of Samesa in Williamsburg. The market and restaurant serves a menu that's mainly vegetarian which includes a stellar avocado hummus, fish kofta, four different salads, and organic hormone-free braised lamb, but don't neglect the tahini-date smoothie, a vegan concoction of almonds, coconut milk, cinnamon, and tahini that's just sweet enough, completely guilt free, and a little bit addictive.
Neighborhood: Williamsburg MAP
Salt and Ash Baked Beet Root at Agern
This elegant, Nordic by way of Grand Central restaurant's signature dish is a whole beet baked in a crust of salt and ash, sliced and revealed tableside. The crimson beauty is both savory and sweet, served with caraway seeds and huckleberries for lots of earthy dimension. It just can't be beet. (Ergh, couldn't resist.)
Neighborhood: Midtown MAP
Brussels sprouts at Gramercy Farmer and the Fish
Are we on the farm or in the city? Owners Edward Taylor and chef-farmer Michael Kaphan started Farmer and the Fish in Westchester, and now their Gramercy outpost sources an average of three quarters of their produce from the team's five-acre Hudson Valley farm. And they do have a way with veggies. Proof is in the crispy, earthy Brussels sprouts, topped with gooey Brie and crunchy cashews, and perfectly seasoned with kicky ras el hanout. It's a dish that will convert sprouts skeptics into Brussels believers.
Neighborhood: Gramercy MAP
Bone Broth at White Gold Butchers
Gael Greene calls the bone broth at April Bloomfield's new Upper West Side temple to all things meat "a Bloomfield hallucination." She elaborates: "A spoonful of the bone broth is an instant high." Its meaty richness is enhanced with kabocha, melty Taleggio, and pumpkin seed oil. Bone broth may be trendy, but this bowl of goodness will cure whatever ails you.

Why property management?
The real estate property management company has a number of potential client pools. Virtually any entity that owns a property, doesn't occupy it, and wants to rent it out, is a potential property management client.
Condominium associations - Though larger condominium complexes may hire in-house management staff, the smaller complexes will find it more economical to utilize an outside property management company. They may occupy an office on the property for convenience and for working with tenants and prospects; however the management company is an entity on its own.
Community or homeowner associations - For any number of reasons, a community or homeowner association may have properties under its control that are rented on a long term or short term basis. A real estate property management company would be retained for this purpose.
Investment syndicates or institutional investors - Many retirement systems own rental real estate. Groups of investors also form to collectively purchase investment rental property. A large portion of the property management business is conducted for these types of owner clients.
Apartment developers - The developer of an apartment project may not want to sell it after its completion. For whatever reason, the owner-developer wants to hold it for a period of time. This could be to realize appreciation, or the rental market could be very good and the income the motivating factor. Hiring a property management company could be more financially responsible than building an in-house staff.
Absentee owners, small unit owners and vacation homeowners - Though the property itself may only be an individual residence, duplex or fourplex, there are a huge number of these units being managed for rental income. In vacation and resort areas, there are property management companies that specialize in short term vacation rentals.
No matter which of these specialties the real estate property management company may pursue, there is a growing market for efficient and knowledgeable property management professionals.

At Vanity it really is about you. Everywhere you look you see yourself, whether it's on the studded walls reflecting your silhouette as you walk past, seeing yourself in a mirrored drink menu or getting your hair fixed up by one of the staff in the bathroom.
Upon entering the club, the first thing you see is a giant light fixture near the dance floor. As you approach the array of colors you see that it is 20,000 LED lights (we counted them for you) that seem to take the focus off of you. But while it is on the center of the dance floor, it serves to make Vanity the most well-lit nightclub in Vegas and, thus, helping put the focus back on you.
If you're looking for a bit more attention, jump onto the elevated platform in front of the DJ booth where you can strut your stuff while the rest of the crowd watches. VIP booths add to the "look-at-me" theme. Most of the booths line either the dance floor or the main bar, ensuring that you will be close to the action and remain the center of attention.

He was wandering, passed the winding turns, crossed the road, sailed overseas, climbing the mountains, had met a thousand rains. He was stopping, standing on the land that he didn't know where it was. He lifted up his face. He saw a white bird over there, on the top of Casuarina tree. It was alone, sitting facing the north as though thinking of life, so silent, no song it sang, no fly it made. The leaves fell down on its back, but it was so silent as though enjoying too much dream. He looked at the north, but found nothing, just a single motionless cloud in the distance so near to the earth as if it was wishing to take a nap awhile on the wonderful grassy land.
It was noon without even a little wind. The trees were sleeping, just its leaves fell down meaningless spreading over around him. He took one piece and had a look as though wishing it to pronounce a single word, but it was speechless.
He bent down his head, closed his eyes, tried to feel the stillness. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
The world was dreaming, enjoying its deepest sleeping. There was nothing coming to him even he didn't realize whether his breath still working or not. He felt like nothingness.
A little kid came to his mind. He saw an old woman facing the sunset on the west, enjoying the reddish cloud with her smile. He saw a single tear fell down from her eye onto her cheek.
She wiped it with her finger. The day would end soon. It was too early, too early. What the time is! He shouted with his silence, no word came out from his mouth, no sound, no voice, no anything, nothing at all. But, he felt his feet trembling, as though the world was shaken.
He was not here, left his existence. The kid ran away, left that woman with her tear. The kid got into the darkness, getting lost, be visible.
All was nothing.
A word came to appear, the sound was so smooth, so tender. It was the beginning, he heard a story from the nothingness. Everything was silent, like paying attention in deepest curiosity. Remember, a long ago, a thousand years, the story began. A single rose in that wonderful garden, on the grassy. It was blossoming, you remember. He was trembling as if couldn't bear the situation.
The kid suddenly came to him, standing in front of him, stared at him. "I am blind, but I can see everything, even what you can't see." He was surprised, he thought that was impossible.
He saw that the kid didn't have eyes. "If you're lost, or didn't know the way where should you go, I'll show you, I'll lead you. Give me your hand." He was shocked to hear that.
The kid was smiling at him. He was so cute. "You lost your self."
"What?! What did you say?!"
The kid was chuckling.
"The angel said that having eyes not always make me easy to go. On the contrary, it made me confuse."
The kid was so strange. But, he realized he could see everything in the dark, even without opening eyes, yeah, that was real. He touched his arm. "You're very funny. I'll go, call me if you need me." Soon the kid lost in the dark.
You picked a rose, the story went on. You sniffed at it and smelt the fragrant of excellent sense. Let me tell you, and set your ear. About a million miles from that garden, eastward, there was a little candle on a wonderful hill. It was taken care by a white bird. The white bird usually rounded its wings to cover the light from the blowing wind.
The white bird usually enjoyed the wonderful view of the night through the candle's light. It was the most wonderful night placed, even the moon thought needn't to light that place. The white bird was so care of that candle, even though it sometimes burns its fur.
He couldn't stand a little longer anymore. He fell down to the earth. He let his body lay on the earth and face the blue sky. It was so bright. No dark, and the wind was breezing. He was confused about what happened with him.
"I am so sorry. I am so sorry, so sorry, so sorry."
The wind came and brought a single drizzle, fell it down on his face, on his forehead.
The road is too long and has so many winding turns. He took a deep breath.
"It's the end. No more, please no more. No more."

Relay SW team smashes target! Posted on
Congratulations to all those involved with Relay Southwest, who managed to complete their circumnavigation of Devon and Cornwall in just 58 hours, smashing their target of 80 hours!
By the end of their epic challenge the team had run 130 miles, cycled 165 miles and sailed 150 miles. This was great effort by the team which was made up of young people from South Devon College and adult group leaders, many of whom are from the Devon and Cornwall Police.
The photo shows the team after their arrival back in Torquay – knackered but very happy to be back on terra firma!
Toby at Trinity said: "We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all those involved, the whole relay event truly was a great team effort. Our thanks also to the huge efforts by Si Costin – from planning and prep through to delivery he provided great leadership.

New Trinity heritage video Posted on
Veteran broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby has fronted a new promotional video promoting Brixham's heritage sea vessels.
The Devon-based radio and television presenter kindly agreed to front a short video for the Trinity Sailing Foundation, explaining how the charity cares for three former trawlers, along with the smack Spirit of Britannia.
In the film, Jonathan speaks over live-action footage of Leader, Provident, and Golden Vanity at sea, juxtaposed with old black and white images of Brixham fisherman.
The presenter of BBC Radio 4's Any Questions? explains how the Devon town helped to revolutionise the deep-sea fishing industry in the 19th century, when 3,000 trawlers used to head out to sea, when, now, only a handful remain.
Jonathan also explains how Trinity provides cruising holidays during the spring and summer season, which help fund the expensive winter refits and maintenance of these historic vessels, and the important role they play in providing sail training voyages for young people.
The Trustees and everyone at Trinity would like to thank Jonathan Dimbleby for supporting our work.
