The accommodation you chose depends on what your preference is. We can accommodation up to 70 in tents in 10 man tents. Another alternative is spending the night under the stars in Bivi's for a night out after doing bushcraft and survial if you choose.
For larger groups we have a hard accommodation option - see below.
We use a 19th Century Gothic mansion and former school with beautiful views from the gardens onto the Quantock Hills to provide acommodation for larger groups. It can sleep up to 130 guests with catering in-house, offering breakfast, packed lunch and hot dinners.
We pride ourselves on offering home-cooked, locally sourced and predominantly organic food with beef reared on the farm where we are based. We cater for all kinds of dietary requirements. Nothing is too much bother.
"Another super time with the team at Outposts. Not only is the programme brilliantly in tune with the children I brought along (and the staff!), the attention to detail is second to none. The care that was taken to ensure that all the children had food appropriate to either dietary or medical needs was so thorough, and this was hugely appreciated by each child."

In my previous posting, I showed you my PINK CYCLAMEN design.
It reminded me that I had started a companion piece to it last year, so I went looking through my project box and pulled it out.
Here's how much I have started:
It's done in #8 pearl cotton thread in blues and greens, and again, it's stitched on 24 ct. Congress Cloth.
Can you guess what type of flower will be going in the middle of the design?
Hmmmmmm.... I'll definitely have to pick this up and start stitching on it again, and (hopefully) I'll have it ready for you to see in the Spring.
Till then, let's all pick up an old project and get back to stitching on it.
There's nothing so satisfying as finally finishing up a project that you started long ago, don't you agree?
(Because of course, it means that AFTERWARDS, you can give yourself permission to start something new - which is even MORE satisfying, right??)
Sooooo, happy finishings, everyone!

Every good produce shopper knows there's more to selecting the right fruit or vegetable than just picking it up and paying for it. With so many options it takes some squeezing, pinching and thumping to find the best product.
The same theory applies to markets. There are so many around the county that it takes a little comparison shopping to determine the best ones.
In addition to the many supermarkets and mom-and-pop stores, there are, depending on the season, 25 to 30 roadside stands where farmers sell their own produce and another two dozen or so stands where the owners sell produce purchased wholesale.
There are also two farmers markets in the county open once a week, with a third expected to open early next year. The farmers markets allow various local and out-of-town growers to sell their goods in a central location. In the past, these markets have attracted up to 65 growers in one day, ranging from the largest growers around to the next-door neighbor with the lemon tree.

Bi-State's Role in the I-74 Corridor Project
March 22, 2017 – The largest infrastructure project in the Bi-State Region's history will begin this year due to the persistence and leadership of all those involved. The Bi-State Regional Commission adopted the Interstate 74 Bridge corridor project as the number one transportation priority in the Bi-State Region in 1998. Since that time, four long-range transportation plans have been developed by the Bi-State Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the project has continued to be the top priority. There have been over 14 changes in engineering and planning leadership between the Illinois and Iowa Departments of Transportation and over 20 chief elected official changes on the Transportation Policy Committee since 1998. With all of these changes, the Bi-State Regional Commission has continued to communicate a unified message of support for the project.

The training cycle
The training cycle is a useful tool for understanding all of the stages that need to be incorporated into an effective training program. The cycle can be broken down into three basic stages: planning, doing and evaluating, but as each stage can be further subdivided, it is not unusual to see cycles depicted with up to five stages. The Investors in People's Continuous Improvement Model shows a similar cycle with ten stages that could be used for developing a training program. However, the basic idea is the same.
The first stage in the cycle is the identification of training needs. Without sufficient consideration of what skills are needed in the workplace and which employees will benefit from undergoing a particular training course, time and money is likely to be wasted. A study by Oxford's Continuing Professional Development Centre found that 50% of training had still not been used in the workplace a year after it was delivered, and was not expected to be used in the future.
Failing to target the right needs can be a costly mistake. Sending employees on irrelevant courses also risks damaging their motivation, as they will begin to see training as unnecessary rather than as a good opportunity.
The second stage is training delivery. It can be divided into several smaller phases, including preparation and design, completion of training, and applying what has been learned in the workplace, or considered as a single stage in the training cycle.
Good planning at this stage can help to boost attendance and encourage trainees to use their new skills when they return. It can also help to alleviate the time and cost constraints identified by 48% and 60%, respectively, of the employers who told the Employer Skills Survey that they would like to be able to offer more training.
The third stage of the cycle is evaluation. Assessing how successful the training has been will be important for planning the future of the training program. It will show which courses and teaching techniques have been most effective at meeting the needs that were identified at the beginning of the cycle.Evaluation can also enable employees to have a say on the relevance and usefulness of the training they have undergone, which can keep them invested in the ongoing training program. The best training options can be offered again to new employees, while those that were unsuccessful or unpopular can be replaced with more suitable choices.
One of the most important features of the cycle is its circular nature. Once the evaluation stage has been completed, the cycle begins again, with a new identification of needs. The model emphasises the importance of seeing training as an ongoing process rather than a one-off fix. Businesses need to keep looking for new needs that can be addressed by training, updating their training programs, and checking that they are working effectively.

The telecommunications industry of today is marked by unprecedented growth.
But disruptive technologies are also emerging more often than ever, and CSP customer profiles have changed radically and irreversibly.
In a bid to expand their network infrastructure, telecommunications companies are looking more favorably on virtualized, cloud-based network technologies such as NFV and SDN – a market that is projected to rise by 54% in just two years[i]. Additionally, there's a serious push to optimize existing processes, and the market reflects this fact as well. BSS/OSS systems are evolving to offer greater re-usability of services, a reduction of the number of IT tools required, and all round simplification of the telco IT environment to streamline business processes. Last but not least, CSPs are developing strategies to please the growing number of customers who are no longer content with standard telecommunications operator offers, and increasingly demand better digital services, more omnichannel experience, and high-speed mobile internet.
How can we deal with these challenges lying ahead? Come and read what our experts have to say.

Ten Facts You May Not Know About Christmas!
For a celebration that takes place every year without fail, there is an incredible amount of history behind the festivities that a lot of people aren't aware of. The list of facts is endless, whether or not these snowflakes of knowledge are true we'll leave for you to find out.
Fact 1 – 80% of people would rather receive a traditional card than an electronic message
Many would think that the tradition of sending Christmas cards to friends and relatives would have ended with social media platforms providing free and easy to use systems that keep people connected. According to research from the mail experts, Royal Mail, 80% of people would rather receive a traditional card than an electronic message. Sir Henry Cole, the man responsible for creating the very first Christmas card, was too busy to personally wish a merry Christmas to everyone so instead just sent a card. One thousand of these cards were printed, and at the time were regarded as an item of luxury. The exact card that Henry sent to his grandmother in 1843 still holds that luxurious value, at auction it was sold for a colossal £20,000.
Fact 2 – the first generation of cracker it was just a sugar coated almond bonbon wrapped in paper.
We doubt Tom Smith expected the cracker to ever become a predatory event. When he created the first generation of cracker it was just a sugar coated almond bonbon wrapped in paper. These were mainly bought as gifts for women during the Victorian times, but instead of reading a terrible joke when they unwrapped the gift, they read a short romantic poem. We can only imagine how those poems would have evolved over time…
Fact 3 – Did you know Santa didn't always have a beard?
According to one book which is called 'One Night Stands with American History,' Father Christmas aka Santa was "slim, tall and very dignified" and did not have a beard!
Fact 4 – Santa has a real postcode!
As more and more children were writing to Santa the American postal service set up a real postcode which of course is H0H 0H0 !
Fact 5 – The first artificial Christmas tree was made from toilet brushes!
Fact 6 – Santa is loaded.
It is a fact that Santa is the world's richest man. No wonder Santa is so jolly!
Fact 7 – Mince Pies made of Meat!!!
Mince Pies are called just that because in Victorian times they were made with beef and spices. Not sure they would taste the same with cream!
Fact 8 – What are the chances of a White Christmas?
Getting snow on Christmas day, the chance is getting lower and lower each year. It is now just 1 in 10 for England and Wales, and 1 in 6 for Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Fact 8 – The World's Biggest Snowman
Of course, it had to be America. Built In 1999 the state of Maine in America made a snowman who was 113ft tall.
Fact 9 – Christmas pudding started as a soup which was made with raisins and wine.
Fact 10 – How fast in Santa?
Again in America, US scientists worked out that Santa would have to visit 822 homes a second to deliver all the world's presents on Christmas Eve, travelling at 650 miles a second. Clearly have too much time on their hands!
& just one more fact we thought we would sneak in :-
Fact 11 – We provide professional Santa's, Elves and Christmas Characters anywhere in the UK!

North America coal short-term outlook January 2017: Warmer weather dampens market upside
You can pay by card or invoice
Report summary
Demand for coal will trend 8% higher in 2017 as the market bounces back from 2016 multi-year lows. However, further upside from that forecast appears limited as weather has been trending warmer than normal this winter. International coal prices will continue to fall in the coming months. However, the international market lately has shown a decreasing influence on US domestic coal markets. On 11 January 2017, the United States Bureau of Land Management – under the previous administration - issued its "Comprehensive Roadmap to Reform Federal Coal Program." The BLM's high-level suggestions include increases in the royalty rate, requiring higher bonus payments or charging the estimated social cost of global warming emissions for coal from public lands. The BLM is still focusing on balancing higher disparate goals of increasing revenue from publicly owned coal or accounting for greenhouse gas emissions which would likely end coal mining from public lands.

A battle of physical and mental stamina ensued when Hinemaurea Ki Wharekahika marae pitted their collective strength against their whanaunga from just over the hill, Hinerupe marae during the tug-o-war finals at the 2013 Ngati Porou Inter marae Festival (aka Pa Wars).
The tug-o- war provides the grand finale to the annual event which is held on the 3rd of January. In 2013 the Pa Wars was held in Tokomaru Bay and each year an army of marae volunteers work behind the scenes to organise their troops.
The Hinemaurea marae 2013 Pa Wars team was co-ordinated by Waitangi Chesley and Te Ua Houkamau. Waitangi (seen at the centre of the photo wearing sunglasses, jandals and singlet) lives in Hicks Bay. While Te Ua (seen standing directly behind Waitangi with arm outstretched) is based in Melbourne. The epic showdown was eventually won by the Hinemaurea marae crew, and in the korero below Waitangi describes what it was like taking part in the finals, and how Te Whanau a Tuwhakairiora pulled together to create their Pa Wars team.
"O.M.G. That was so intense! No clear winner and not knowing which way it was gonna go. The atmosphere was like, electric! I remember the crowd going wild, it was just like last year's NPEC Meads Cup finals. The supporters (from both marae) were the best. If it wasn't for the crowd cheering our team on, I don't think we would have made it. Our only strategy was to give it heaps and scream as loud as we could."
"Our Pa Wars team had been in recess for a few years, but Te Ua was keen to get our marae out there again this year. So he went on Facebook to gauge interest. He also set up an online survey for whanau and it went from there. It was hard for some whanau who didn't have access to Facebook or the internet, but by word of mouth it ended up working out well."
"Aunty Ani did a bit of ground work too, and organised our huge as, meke banner and also our accommodation in Tokomaru Bay the night before. She also got me to organise the t-shirts which I must admit that I'm not in a hurry to do again. It's quite a big job."
"We had roughly about 100 people in our team, which was one of the biggest we've ever had. Participation was and still is our main focus. We do like to try and be competitive, and for some it's quite natural. I mean, who doesn't like to win? Or lose for that matter. In saying that, as a whole its not about competitiveness. It's about having fun! Everyone loves to win, but to us winning is a bonus."
"Everyone from our team absolutely loved this year's Pa Wars, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Considering Tokomaru didn't have much time to organise it, they did it extremely well. To me Pa Wars is a perfect way for Ngati Porou to come together as one, and celebrate being a Naati. It brings people home, and it most definitely is about identity and being proud of where you come from.
"Pa wars also benefits our marae through the cash prizes. Marae are always in need of money because they cost a lot to run. Hinemaurea is used quite frequently and for most groups (local schools etc) there is no charge. So any little bit of money helps, and this year we did well and made the most money that we ever have. It wasn't much, but it's the most. So we're making progress."

In Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, personal trainer Dmitri Simons created a series of car exercises to draw attention to increasing sedentary behavior in the Western world.
�No gym, no problem,� he says, and in a recent video on YouTube, he demonstrates �seatbelt rows,� using seat belts as pulleys.
Of course, to do that, you have to be sitting backward � and in the back seat. Other YouTube fitness gurus advocate using your commute time to get a little wiggle in your seat.
Carsercise brings aerobic energy to upper body strengthening while driving. These videos highlight the idea that it�s important to just get moving.
The average person spends up to 12 hours per day sitting, whether it�s in the car, on public transport or at work, according to JustStand.org/the-facts. The site says that 3.2 million deaths a year are related to physical inactivity.
Recently, sitting has been compared to smoking for its effects on our health. Consistent exercise habits are the solution.
Simons is the head trainer for Exercises.com.au, a site dedicated to helping people get more active and exercise correctly to avoid injury.
�It�s about building the habit,� Simons says.
While exercise is well known for its physical benefits, studies show it also has positive effects on our mental health. With rates of depression on the rise across the Western world, getting active has never been more important.
�The mind will follow the body, which is why a regular exercise routine is so important. Even if you start by exercising in your car,� Simon says.
Simon�s �Seatbelt Rows� video can be viewed on YouTube. youtu.be/wZIlQ4vVZfc. To see other car activities, Search �Car exercises� on YouTube. And please remember to keep your mind on the road.

As usual I've neglected my blog in favour of Facebook so I'm sure I'm a few updates behind here. I've finally finished off the last of the Tsuba Miniatures Russo-Japanese War Japanese. Lots of cavalry both foot and mounted versions. I wish I had some nice terrain to show them off against but I don't so you just get a pile of models on a gaming mat.
I also painted up a couple more pieces for Crooked Dice. Flamboyant Agent and Evil Mastermind which are both part of their pre-order campaign for the new edition of 7TV. There's a rather funky retro TV gaming token too.
Lots of stuff in the to do pile as I try and catch up on the commissions. Lots of Red Box Games stuff, Infinity, Otherworld Miniatures and various odds and ends. So much to do and so little time!

Film Review: Rising from Ashes
Rising from Ashes is a documentary about a team of cyclists in post genocide Rwanda. It's narrated by UNESCO goodwill ambassador Forest Whitaker.
Rwanda and cycling? It's certainly not the most striking combination that can be thought of. Rwanda sadly made the headlines with the genocide that took place in 1994. However cycling has been a long-standing tradition in the country. Hills and mountains dominate a sizeable area. They make a perfect natural training environment for cyclists.
Rising from Ashes traces the path of Team Rwanda, a cycling team formed of genocide survivors, and trained by Jonathan "Jacques" Boyer, the first US citizen to ride le Tour de France in 1981.
In this poignant journey, riders first get noticed in local races in Rwanda to end up in the London Olympics. They make do with wooden bikes but eventually ditch them for bikes whose "brakes work".
But it is not an actual sporting adventure. It's a story about people. People who refuse to give up after a tragedy. People who believe in life and reconciliation no matter what. They want to show that Rwanda can also be a beautiful country and they have certainly succeeded.

The strategy is called V2 (version2) to distinguish it from the original. Masonson's version 2 was started 3/12/11.
This page will track Masonson's most aggressive strategy which ranks his entire selection of 42 ETFs excluding fixed income ETFs on the their 6 month performance and buys the top 5 ETFs on a market "buy" signal. The ranking of the ETFs is checked daily as long as the market remains in an uptrend and an ETF is only sold if it falls below rank # 20. After an ETF is sold, it is replaced with the highest ranked ETF that is not already held in the portfolio as long as there is still a "buy" signal in effect. If a market "sell" signal is issued then all ETFs are sold
The strategy only buys selected ETFs when the market is in an uptrend and sells all ETFs when the market is in a down trend. The direction of the market is determined by the 4 indicators described below in "Signal Criteria".
The 42 ETFs used for this strategy are listed at the bottom of the page.
Signal Criteria
The streamlined modifed strategy is based on checking the following 4 indicators (in lieu of the original 8) and awarding points (+1, 0, -1) to each depending on the indicator status.
1) NASDAQ Composite Index 100 Moving Average Crossover: A buy signal (+1) is generated when the Nasdaq Composite index rises above the 100-day moving average. A sell signal (–1) is generated when the index crosses below the moving average. (If both 100 day and 200 day moving averages are close then the 200 day moving average may also be considered).
2) MACD On NASDAQ Composite Index: A buy signal (+1) is generated when the MACD line crosses above the signal line. A sell signal (–1) is generated when MACD line crosses below the signal line.
3) AAII Investor Sentiment Survey Bullish Percentage: A buy signal (+1) is generated when the percentage bullish signal drops to 25% and then rises the following week. A sell signal (–1) is generated when the percentage bullish signal rises to 50% and then drops the following week. If no new signal is generated in the last six months then a neutral (0) signal is generated. Check the BDH Signals page to view the AAII Sentiment chart.

Saturday-Monday, October 6-8, 2007:
Didn't stay home this weekend after all. I accepted a friend's invitation to see her perform at the Westport Community Theatre in Connecticut and spent the night at her place. She was terrific in the play, and the beauty and peacefulness of her home and hospitality were just what the doctor ordered . . . for what I could only describe as a very, very difficult week.
Things are looking up moment by moment though . . . and consistently drinking green smoothies each day has had something to do with that. I have been feeling very strong physically since starting to incorporate these drinks into my day. Yesterday at my friend's place I made one for myself and her husband -- with kale, bok choy, banana, kiwi, nectarine and lime -- and it was delicious. All day Saturday I drank only green smoothies, and felt energized and full. There are definitely some very healing properties in greens! I feel like I've discovered a nutritional goldmine. The timing could not have been better.

Which JRE's are betwixt compatible with? More directly, does it work with IBM JDK 1.3 (or 1.3 at all)? Which libraries are needed to make this work? This stems from the fact that I am running betwixt on AIX in WebSphere 5.1, and I am not getting any debugging out in my log files. The code is working fine in test, but when I deploy: BLAMMO no worky-worky. Any insight is appreciated.

The following tours are provided in this region:
Baikal on the map
Lake Baikal (Russian: о́зеро Байка́л, tr. Ozero Baykal) is the world's oldest and deepest lake at 30 million years old and with an average depth of 744.4 metres.
Located in the south of the Russian region of Siberia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and the Buryat Republic to the southeast, it is the most voluminous freshwater lake in the world, containing roughly 20% of the world's unfrozen surface fresh water.
At 1,642 metres (5,387 ft), Lake Baikal is the deepest and among the clearest of all lakes in the world. Similarly to Lake Tanganyika, Lake Baikal was formed as an ancient rift valley, having the typical long crescent shape with a surface area of 31,722 km2/12,248 sq mi, less than that of Lake Superior or Lake Victoria. Baikal is home to more than 1,700 species of plants and animals, two thirds of which can be found nowhere else in the world and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. It is also home to Buryat tribes who reside on the eastern side of Lake Baikal, rearing goats, camels, cattle and sheep, where the regional temperatures vary from a minimum of −19 °C (−2 °F) in winter to maximum of 14 °C (57 °F) in summer. Lake Baikal is nicknamed "Older sister of Sister Lakes (Lake Khövsgöl and Lake Baikal)".
The lake, called "the Pearl of Siberia", drew investors from the tourist industry as energy revenues sparked an economic boom. In 2007, the Russian government declared the Baikal region a special economic zone. The popular resort of Listvyanka is home to the seven-story Hotel Mayak. At the northern part of the lake Baikalplan (a German NGO) built together with Russians in 2009 the Frolikha Adventure Coastline Track a 100 km long Long-distance trail as example for a sustainable development of the region. Baikal was also declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996.

Super Derby's top pair consider BC Classic
BOSSIER CITY, La. - Strong Contender ran perhaps the best race of his career last Saturday in the Grade 2, $500,000 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs, giving his connections a reason to consider a start in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on Nov. 4.
And that is what they are doing right now, thinking about it, John Ward Jr., who trains Strong Contender for John Oxley, said Tuesday.
"We have had our performance and we're like the guy on the golf tournament that is in the clubhouse with his good score and he's kind of watching everybody else come home," he said. "And that's what we're kind of doing. We're watching closely. We'll just kind of see what happens."
Strong Contender earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 107 for his win in the Super Derby, the second-highest number of his career behind a 109 for his Grade 2 Dwyer win at Belmont Park. Ward was impressed with Strong Contender's stretch run on Saturday, when in the final sixteenth he rallied for a one-length win over Lawyer Ron.
Ward noted that Strong Contender ran head to head with Costa Rising, put him away, and finally looked up and tuned in on Lawyer Ron. "And when he did," Ward said, "he immediately accelerated to that horse. That seven strides he put in to get to the other horse, I thought was very brilliant."
Strong Contender flew to Kentucky on Sunday, and was scheduled to van from Lexington back to his Belmont base on Tuesday night.
According to Ward, the list of Breeder's Cup horses running well at Churchill Downs after training at Belmont "is pretty significant."
Plans pending for Lawyer Ron
Lawyer Ron flew back to Churchill on Sunday. Trainer Bob Holthus said plans for the colt are still being determined, with a start in the Breeders' Cup not being ruled out as of Monday.
"I would say right now, we're not going to make any decisions for a couple of weeks," Holthus said. "We'll just play it by ear. We haven't picked out a next race for him yet."
Lawyer Ron earned the second-best Beyer of his career, a 105, for his Super Derby. He broke sharply and was between rivals going into the first turn. He darted to the lead soon afterward, running the opening six furlongs in 1:10.85, and the mile in 1:35.51.
"He was just too rank the first part of it," said Holthus. "He just didn't want to relax. He's done that a time or two before."
Lawyer Ron's best Beyer, a 106, came in the Grade 3 Risen Star in January.
Record handle for Louisiana Downs
The $7,306,487 that Louisiana Downs handled on its 13-race card Saturday was a record for the track, said Mark Midland, vice president of racing operations. The old mark of $6.7 million was set on Super Derby Day in 2003.
Louisiana Downs sent the signal of its sixth through 11th races into California, and the move yielded $533,338 in handle. Handle was also strong ontrack, with the large crowd wagering $893,645 on the live races, the highest ontrack handle here since Super Derby Day in 2000.
"Obviously we're thrilled with the way everything turned out," said Midland. "To be able to have the all-time record handle is just outstanding. So, it kind of raises the bar for next year."
Louisiana Downs surrounded the Super Derby with four rich turf stakes this year, making the card worth more than $1 million. The concept will return next year, said Midland.
"We feel like the day built a tremendous amount of momentum for us, and by grouping the stakes it helped to bring horses and planes in from around the country," he said. "So, that's something that we'll look to duplicate, most definitely."
Attendance is free at the track, so there was no crowd figure released for Saturday. But the house was packed, with patrons standing at least 20 deep around the paddock area when the horses arrived for the Super Derby.
"When I went to college at Louisiana Tech, we used to come here in the glory days in the 80's, and this is the best I've seen it in over 20 years," said Sean Alfortish, president of the Louisiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association.
o Zarb's Dahar, a multiple stakes-winning sprinter, will make a rare start around two turns and on turf Thursday in the third race. The 7 1/2-furlong optional claimer also drew Cajole and Silver Haze.
Zarb's Dahar goes here because no other race was available, said his trainer, James Hodges. A winner at six furlongs last out, he should handle the added distance, said Hodges.
"I don't think it will be a problem for him," he said.

It was with much satisfaction that most of our food was either grown in our gardens, our neighbors gardens, or bought local.
We had our own butternut squash, local organic carrots, the potatoes we dug ourselves and purchased from our neighbors. I bought stuffing. (in a box... I know... uggg). Next year my goal is to make my own. I also purchased canned jellied cranberry sauce. (again, double ugggg). Dear husband loves this, but next year I am going to at least buy organic and see about buying some cranberries and making my own.
Our pumpkin pie came from our local pumkins with whipped cream from a farm in our town.
The turkey was fresh, 23 pounds and also came from a farm in our town. We are planning to raise our own next year if we can hire or barter with someone who will help us with the processing.
On my way to town the other day, a church had a quote in their sign that read
"Gratitude is saying thanks and sharing the gifts with others."
Happy Thanksgiving.
Warm wishes, Tonya

Every state in the union, including Florida, has embraced the concept of parental visitation as generally in the best interests of children and parents. The courts usually prefer to award "reasonable visitation," in which both parties work out a visitation schedule that meets their individual needs and desires rather than having a visitation plan ordered by the court. In practice, however, the custodial parent generally has more say in what is considered "reasonable."
Keeping children safe in Florida
A Florida parent who has been accused of a crime that involves a minor child may be subject to the presumption of detriment. This means that there is a risk to the child whenever that parent has visitation rights to or custody of that child. In some cases, the crime may be physical in nature such as hitting a child or taking the child out of state against a court order.
Determining visitation rights for grandparents
In the state of Florida, a grandparent may petition for visitation rights under a variety of circumstances, assuming that it is in the best interest of the child. Grandparents or great-grandparents may be granted visitation rights if one of the child's parents has deserted the child or if the child was born out of wedlock. Visitation may also be granted if the marriage between the child's parents has been dissolved.
Woman granted visitation rights for child of same-sex ex-partner
It was reported on Aug. 13 that a Florida court has cleared the way for a woman to seek visitation rights for her son who was born to her former female partner. According to the report, the biological mother had moved the child to an undisclosed location and would not allow contact after the couple decided to split up. However, the ex-partner had already legally adopted the child.
Unmarried couples, children out of wedlock and fathers' rights
Florida residents may find it interesting to learn that over 40 percent of children born in the U.S. are to unmarried couples. When it comes to child custody and visitation rights, generally unmarried fathers have to fight hard in the family court system to get a chance to see their children and be afforded the most basic parental rights.
The age-old battle between mothers' rights vs. fathers' rights
When the parents of a child can no longer work together, generally issues surrounding child custody and visitation rights for the non-custodial parent are amplified. In most cases, a mothers' right to raise her child versus the fathers' rights to see his child are pitted against each other.
The issue of breastfeeding in child custody cases
It is important for children to have a healthy relationship with their parents. Particularly in the early stages of a child's development, a strong parent-child bond is important. Even though parents in Florida who are no longer together may disagree with how much time a child should spend with the other parent, generally, it is in the best interest of the child to spend time with each parent. But, what if a visitation schedule interferes with a child's nutritional needs, and is not in the child's best interest? Should it still be enforced?
Father accused of bad parenting for not taking child to McDonald
Most non-custodial parents look forward to exercising their parenting time with their children. Simply spending time with child not only helps develop the parent-child relationship, but also helps the non-custodial understand what is involved in parenting. Parents who are no longer together typically understand the issues which surround child custody and parenting time such as coordination and communication with each other. However, there are times when bitterness surrounding one's situation may cloud a parent's judgment and they may do anything to prevent the non-custodial parent from having contact with their child.
Helpful tips for unmarried fathers, child support & custody
Typically, unwed Florida fathers trying to gain parental rights would be fighting an uphill battle. Doing so on one's own without proper knowledge may compound the problem, and make it much harder to get any real tangible results. Even though nothing beats having the knowledge and expertise of proficient legal counsel by one's side to help navigate the family law justice system, here are some tips that can help anyone trying to assert their rights as a parent.
Egg donor parental rights case in Florida Supreme Court
Advances in reproductive technology have made it possible for many infertile couples to have a biological child through in vitro fertilization. Utilizing the same technology, many same-sex couples across the nation, including here in Florida, have been able to have a child of their own. Presently, even though Florida has specific laws in place dealing with donation of eggs, sperm or pre-embryos, the Florida Supreme Court is scheduled to release an opinion on a unique parental rights case involving a lesbian couple.

A while back, I wrote about how in spite of all the technological things that keep us inside our homes, we still find ways to "chat over the back fence." Lately, I have been struck anew with all the ways we enjoy relationships online. So, I'm adding a "part two."
Last weekend, I was bedridden with illness. It's lonely to be isolated and unable to leave your house or even your bed. As I huddled under my blankets, I checked my Facebook wall and saw that a dear friend was feeling the effects of her latest round of chemo. We each took a picture of ourselves under our fuzzy blankets and sent them to each other. Suddenly, I was smiling instead of feeling sorry for myself.
My husband has three sisters and three nieces scattered across the United States. It is rare that the whole clan can get together. So, on New Year's Eve, we group-texted each other photos of the champagne that we were sipping, videos of the fireworks we were enjoying, and we laughed at old family jokes. Through our phones, we found a way to ring in the New Year together.
My husband's cousin, Jeff, lived overseas for much of his adult life. But, because of Facebook, we remained close to him. He began posting hilarious accounts of his time spent in a foreign hospital. And, then he sent a private message telling us that he only had a few weeks left to live.
Once the word got out, his Facebook page became a gathering place for his friends and family. Jeff's wall became deluged with posts. He got to read old classmates' funny memories of their shared childhood pranks. He learned how much the men who had served under him admired him. He heard peers reminisce about their favorite shared travels and experiences, and he got to see old photos posted by relatives. It was as though Jeff was able to attend his own funeral and hear all the wonderful things people said about him. It was a beautiful thing to witness.
Wendy, a member of the Spirit105.3 family, "introduced" me to her sister via Email. Nikki and I both have Meniere's Disease and we began praying for each other. Nikki then heard from a friend whose daughter, Katelyn, had just been diagnosed with cancer and she was added to our prayers. Next, Katelyn asked Nikki if she would pray for her neighbor, Jordan, who had also been diagnosed with cancer. Soon, others began sharing their needs and, before she knew it, Nikki had created an online "small group". She began posting at 5:00pm daily on Facebook. She shares scripture verses and lists us all by name. No matter what miseries the day holds, we know at 5:00 pm we will be rewarded with God's word and prayers from people we have never even met.
Because of technology, I have reconnected with people I never would have "found" again. I now regularly converse with grade school classmates, former co-workers, and old friends. And, I have met new friends who share the same interests or medical conditions I do. We compare notes on medicines, books and craft projects. I will never meet them in person but their friendship is invaluable to me.
The internet certainly has its dangers and its dark side. No one can deny that. But, when I see people using it as a method to love and support each other, it fills me with joy. I'm old enough to remember life before we had computers in our homes. And, while I miss some of those old ways, I love all the new ways we are finding to connect!

Barswick to Burwick Cliff-Top Walk July 2017
There is much to see and do in Orkney with its rich panoply of UNESCO award World Heritage archaeological sites, arts, crafts and cultural events together with local and international festivals. Some of these activities are passive whilst others are more actively engaging, perhaps none more so than an indulgent immersion into the wonders of Mother Nature.
A clifftop walk embraces all five senses and provides a captivating and truly memorable event. It is an experience.
Please enjoy these sights of mother nature's scenic and natural beauty.

Does Size Matter in Orkney?
Yes, When It Comes to Skyscraper Sized Turbines.
Whilst we all favour renewable energy, a proposal currently backed by Orkney Islands Council would be entirely detrimental to the rich natural character and heritage of Orkney because of their unacceptable size.
The proposal for this development featured a distant image of windmills, deliberately without any guide to their relative size in an effort to mask the reality and deceive Orcadian people. The image below depicts farmland in South Ronaldsay with houses to identify the true scale of what is proposed. For many it is difficult to imagine 125m vertical height; this image clearly shows a 41 story building of that height.
The planning application contravenes the following policies:
The Orkney Development Plan to be adopted on or about 12 April 2017 (ODP 2017); the OIC Supplementary Guidance: Energy (SGE 2017); and the OIC/SNH Orkney Landscape Capacity Assessment (OLCA 2015).

Idyllic Islands, Scenic Shopping Splendour. . .
With a population of circa 65 million, there are but a few people in the UK that can enjoy such natural Island splendour as this when going shopping.
There are many reasons why people travel to Orkney for a holiday or in search of a better quality of life. Here is one small aspect of living in this close-to-nature idyllic wonderland of scenic beauty and unpolluted atmospheres: it is a simple journey to the shops.
Leaving the connected island of South Ronaldsay and passing the natural harbour St Margaret's Hope, home to the sleek-in-the-water catamaran ferry 'Pentalina' returning from Gills Bay.
Every view heralds the advent of mother nature's beauty, unspoiled by excessive human development, surrounded by pristine waters and pure clean air. This is the Orkney drive by.
Travelling across connected islands like stepping-stones for a giant mythological creature.
Driving across the Scapa Flow, just two metres above sea level.
Misty clouds paint themselves across this autumnal scenery.
The classic Orcadian view of farmland, the sea, island horizons and a blue sky. When Orcadians are away from their homeland, this is the kind of image that makes their heart beat faster.
Passing by Sandwick Bay and surrounding lush green farmland.
Kirkwall, clustered around the imposing 12th century St. Magnus Cathedral.
Mission accomplished, buying fresh seafood.
Homeward bound and resisting the urge!
With home in sight, a glimpse of the distant mountains of the Scottish Highlands from South Ronaldsay.

Introduction: DIY Trumpet
Weekend. My kid is coming to my office-lab (that's what I called my half office, half laboratory.) When he comes, he always want something new. "Let's make something LOUD," he said. Well, thinking for a moment, I remembered the old days when I was in high school. We used to make trumpets for the basketball games. Well, it is loud enough, and will be much louder when there are dozens.
Step 1: Mattoo
Ah.. seems like I make a new abbreviation for "Materials and Tools" hehe..
We used to make it from a film canisters, but seems like this kind of canisters are rare these days. But don't you worry because I have found the replacement for that film canister.
Materials :
- A balloon.
- A 1/2" pvc pipe.
- A supplement canister.
Tools :
- Glue gun.
- Drill.
- Cutter.
- Files (optional).
Step 2: Canister Treatment
Cut a hole as large as the pipe we use at the bottom of the canister.
Step 3: Cap and Balloon
Make a hole on the canister cap, larger than the pipe we use. We only need the cap's thread to hold the balloon. You can also use zip tie for this purpose so you do not need the cap no more.
Cut the balloon open flat in single layer. Use the balloon to cover the canister opening. Put the cap on or tie it with zip tie. Then push your pipe bottom up until it pushes the balloon about 1 millimeter from its flat position. Remember not to push it out too much or you will need a very large power to blow.
Step 4: The Holes
Drill a hole (3 to 5 mm will do) at the side of the canister. Then optionally drill one hole or more on the pipe. The holes on the pipe will produce different tones for your trumpet.
We are done! Give it a try. Blow from the canister's hole with your mouth stick well on it. Ah.. I should have told your from the start to clean the canister before usage. If it sounds, then glue the pipe to the canister with a hot glue gun so that it will produce louder sound.
Do not blow for too long because it can give serious pain on your jaw.
Ten of this trumpets can produce a sound louder than a truck's air horn, so don't blow it near one's ear.
4 Discussions
I guess, this is more a kazoo than a trumpet :-)
Never heard of kazoo before, but after googling I hear a nice trumpet sound with less power (hum). Yes we use the balloon as a membrane to produce the sound. Try it and see how loud you can go ;)
Yep. The kazoo is powered by your voice (making the membrane resonate), while your instrument is powered by the air flow. A trumpet is powered by amplifying sound waves created by your vibrating lips. So maybe you could call it a kazoompet xD
Hahaha.. what a cool name xD

Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy
The World's Only Protected Area for the White Spirit Bear of BC's Coastal RainforestProtecting the natural habitat of the Spirit bear is a major achievement for the Kitasoo Xai'xais people and the conservation groups that worked tirelessly to give this bear a sanctuary from logging and hunting.
In the 1990's the Kitasoo Xai'xais and Gitga'at First Nations of BC's central coast became concerned about the fate of the rare and magnificent Spirit Bear. Working closely with the Valhalla Society and the Province of BC, together they jointly announced official protection on February 7, 2006 through the creation of 10 spirit bear habitat conservancies totaling 212.415 hectares. The largest of these conservancies is known as the "Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy" comprised of 103,000 hectares of the Canoona River and the area of south Princess Royal Island including all of Laredo Inlet, a 30 km long fjord that runs up from the south end of the island.
The Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy area is about halfway between Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Stunning fjords, mountains, and valleys rich in salmon and bears comprise the mainland area. Vast expanses of intact rainforest and remote inlets and rugged coast comprise the protected areas. The area hosts more than 50 salmon streams, approximately 120 Spirit Bears, 1200 Black bears, Grizzly bears and an incredible wolf-deer predator-prey system with up to 16,000 Sitka deer.
In the end, the 2006 protection of the Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy Complex occurred not only as a result of First Nations support but an international campaign resulting from publicity generated by the Valhalla Society and many other groups and individuals. The Spirit bear became the international poster icon of the whole Great Bear Rainforest Campaign.

Nice to see more airport shots on a-net.
Stunning airport, 5 stars to YVR
Awesome shot, where in the airport is this picture taken exactly?
Nice photo Thierry! We should start a project like that for LUX :-) - Patrick.
Few people ever show what most can never see and that is an International Arrival Hall. I will have to make an international trip to see something what is in my backyard. So I appreciate this very much and it has to do with flying/airplanes.

Watch a flotilla of illuminated boats make a dramatic arrival
On Friday, 30 October 2015, the South African Ocean Festival presented by SAMSA and Calulo will launch with a spectacular Lighted Boat Parade at the V&A Waterfront.
.The Lighted Boat Parade is a symbolic ocean celebration featuring beautifully lit vessels and boats that will parade the harbour. Once the "light carriers" have reached their destination, all the lights within the village will be activated, thus demonstrating the essential role these ships played in lighting the harbour.
Families and friends can gather at different viewing spots along the Waterfront to watch this annual spectacle, and can expect the Sea Princess and boat parade at Jetty 2/Quay 6 to illuminate the harbour.
Following this award winning Beatenberg will kick off festivities with an exciting, live performance.
The Lighted Boat Parade is one of the Festival's signature events that celebrate the ocean and all that it offers to the country, and we invite you to join us as a spectator cheering on the decorated boats and their crews.
The programme begins from 18:00pm up until 20:30pm.

According to the CIA World Factbook, imports totalled USD39.12 billion in 2014 (estimated).
Import tariffs
Importers of goods into Qatar must sign up to the Importers' Register and be approved by Qatar Chamber. Customs duty and legalisation fees are levied on all commercial shipments, irrespective of its value.
Customs tariffs fall under these categories:
- Exempted – fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh and frozen fish, dairy, meat, books, and newspapers.
- 5% – clothing, per fumes, cars, electronic appliances and devices.
- 100% – tobacco, with the customs tax based on number or weight, whichever is greater.
There are 672 goods exempted from customs duties under the Common Convention of the GCC States, as well as exemptions granted to certain bodies and persons under Customs Law No 40 of 2004. There are fees for the attestation of the
Certificate of Origin (from Qatar Chamber) and a tariff for the attestation of the Commercial Invoice, based on shipment value.
No customs duty is applied on cargo of which at least 50% is manufactured within the GCC; if less than 50%, duty is applied only on the percentage of the cargo which is GCC manufactured. To qualify for exemption, goods must be accompanied by a GCC Certificate of Manufacture from the Chamber of Commerce in Riyadh, KSA.
Import regulations
All commercial shipments are subject to examination by General Authority of Customs prior to clearance. There is a 'single‐window' system to help facilitate trade, with e‐government systems, a 24/7 call centre, a personal smart card and use of a state‐of‐the‐art payment system. The Freight Solutions Committee was set up to accelerate the customs clearance of cargo – the process now takes only three hours.
New regulations were introduced in 2013 to prevent fake products from entering the market. It is now mandatory for all general goods to have non‐removable marking of their place of manufacture to be eligible for customs clearance. This applies to both air and sea freight. The import of vehicle tyres, spare parts and electrical home appliances now has to be based on a 'certificate of conformity' issued by the authority concerned. All general cargo for customs clearance must be backed by an original commercial invoice on the shipper's letterhead, with stamp and signature. They also require attestation by Qatar Chamber. The packing list of each consignment must have the number of pieces, weight and volume.
The General Authority of Customs states all importers must obtain an HS Code (Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System), an international system for classifying traded products. This must be linked to the trader's Commercial Registration and import licence.
There are no restrictions on bringing personal effects into Qatar. Banned imports include alcohol, pork and e‐cigarettes. The import of pets is allowed.
Visit General Authority of Customs website for more information.
Points of entry
General cargo usually enters via the Salwa Overland Terminal, Hamad and Doha International Airports, or Doha Port. Commercial cargo may also enter via Mesaieed Port and Ras Laffan. Work is well underway at the New Port Project to ease pressure on the current facilities.
Al Nadeeb For company registration, user guides, and tariffs as per the Harmonised System Code, visit Al Nadeeb, the Qatar Clearance Single Window.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Qatar exported USD121.2 billion (estimated) worth of goods in 2014, comprising liquefied natural gas, petroleum products, fertilisers, and steel. There are no duties on exports.

One of the reasons I had my done was because of yours.
All the best in the USA.10th September 2014 at 6:50 am #30057
Baldy01@ Thanks! I moved back to Orlando Florida. Sun shine state! Nice and warm!
TonyC@ Really!!! I am glad that you made your good decision! I told the true, right?2nd December 2014 at 4:49 am #30321
Some of you might remember me. I started my treatment in November 2013 and completed the treatment before Christmas 2013. It is over one year now. I still very happy with my treatment. Skalp did amazing job. I moved back to USA in August 2014. No one ask me about my hair line!!! I haven't tell anyone about my treatment since I came back to USA. The friends and family just think I look younger and healthier. Most of the people think I am 5 to 10 years younger than my real age. I will be 43 in March. Here is my recent pic. Do you think I look younger than 43?2nd December 2014 at 7:50 am #30322
You are looking very well Qman72 and it's looking very natural 14 months on.
I agree with your friends that you look younger compared to your before pictures.2nd December 2014 at 9:27 am #30323
Good to see you back Qman.
Lucky you in Florida. It's freezing here in the UK and hats are needed to cover our hairlines 🙂
You are looking great and definitely do not look your age.27th October 2016 at 4:36 am #32495
I moved back to US over two years now. I had my treatment completed about three years ago. My hairline still look good like three years ago. So far no one say a single word about hairline. Most of comments are "You look younger after you came back from Scotland". I go to the beach, gym and vacation all the times. I am 44 now but the people think I am 34. It was the best decision that I made. Thank You Skalp team!20th January 2017 at 3:58 am #32588
Happy New Year! I am still happy with my decision to complete my treatment with Skalp. If you are still think about it, you need to decide in 2017. It will be your new happy start in 2017.22nd July 2017 at 5:15 am #32832

Winter Park Ski Resort Trail is a 4.9 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Winter Park, Colorado that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
mountain biking
nature trips
This was a tough hike. About 2 miles up gaining 1700 ft in elevation. Beautiful views though but take your time. Starts at about 9000 ft up to 10,700 elevation. Great for trail running down. In and out of trees. Winter park is always beautiful and there is a nice restaurant at the top. Food is very pricey. Lots of flowers in august.
Did not hike due to Sign at trailhead... "no uphill biking or hiking." We ended up hiking the Ute trail that zigzagged between the 2 chairlifts.
1700 foot Elavation almost 2 miles uphill
Fun ski area. Trails range from a bunny hill to extreme chutes. Divided into two sides, with mostly hard terrain at Mary Jane and mostly easy terrain at Winter Park. However, the bunny hill is at Mary Jane. Fun ski area, although viscous winds. Never any traffic, although Berthoud Pass can get icy. Parsenn Bowl is a wide- open bowl with fun tree runs. Vasquez Cirque and the Chutes are STEEP. Mary Jane has many moguled demons. Winter Park has steep groomers galore. FUN!
Complete this hike with my 14 year old daughter Summer of 2011! It was our first which made me regret not taking my Garmin 405 on the trip to CO . I hope we can find other trails to complete in the years to come.
