Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
Remember when "hipster" was the diss du jour, before it became so overused you could use it to describe literally anyone below the age of 35 who owned a scarf? One time someone called me a hipster for wearing a cardigan. The official standards for hipstership are beyond the scope of my millennial brain.
One of the detectable prerequisites for admission into the club of People Who Will Be Called a Hipster is the habit of embracing things "ironically." I do a lot of things that could be called hipster-y (I'm cringing every time I type that word, by the way): I listen to music on vinyl, I shop almost exclusively in thrift stores, I once dated a dude with a handlebar mustache for, like, over a year. I do all those things and more! But I would never — I repeat, NEVER — love something "ironically."
It's an inclination I cannot comprehend. I approach all of my life's whims and passions the way I approach relationships and Chinese food buffets: wholeheartedly and genuinely, with no regard for consequences or calories. I have an intense personality and am pathologically incapable of loving something halfway, let alone loving it as a "joke." Love is not a joke to me!
There are some things in this world I love genuinely, but because they're considered "uncool" by the behind-the-curtain wizards who determine what's cool (teens on Tumblr), people sometimes assume I love them "ironically." Or WORSE, that I think of them as "guilty pleasures." I would NEVER. If you're not hurting anyone or doing anything wrong (and I rarely am, because I'm a literal angel), you should never feel guilty for liking the things you like.
It's worth noting things we refer to as "guilty pleasures" are typically media or pop-culture created for women. When you think of guilty pleasures, you might think of The Bachelor or romantic comedies. You would never hear someone refer to Monday Night Football as their guilty pleasure. And when we start referring to foods as guilty pleasures, it ties into a lot of the insidious and dangerous ways we moralize and police foods as a culture. I'm all for eating healthy and treating your body well, but there's nothing inherently sinful about eating a sleeve of Oreos, and you needn't feel guilt for doing so. Enjoy yourself, and then drink a green juice and do maybe one pushup tomorrow. You're good!
I like what I like, and I don't feel bad about it. I feel bad when I hurt someone's feelings or when I accidentally step on my cat's paw, but I will never feel bad about liking music or TV or whatever. And I will NEVER love something ironically, and you shouldn't either.
Here are a few of the "uncool" things I unabashedly love with no trace of irony, in case you need permission to stop feeling guilty about your pleasures, too.
Cracker Barrel
My love of Cracker Barrel, along with my looks and resting bitch face, can be entirely credited to my mom. Before birthing me, my mother lived an incredibly storied life. A child of divorce in the '60s, she spent part of her childhood traveling the East Coast with the carnival my grandfather ran for a while. She would grow up to join the army and work as a military paralegal for a while before meeting my dad and fulfilling her life's true purpose of being the person I call when I forget how to get stains out of the carpet.
At some point in the various lives she's lived, my mother worked as a waitress at a Cracker Barrel in South Carolina. She did such a bang-up job waiting tables, Cracker Barrel gave her several promotions during her stint with them. Though her time with the Barrel was short-lived, she never lost her loyalty to the treasured Southern-style chain.
Growing up, any family road trip meant an obligatory stop at one of the hundreds of Cracker Barrels located right off every highway along the East Coast. Is Cracker Barrel the most delicious food in the world? No. Is the menu particularly creative? Nah. Is it a cool, hip place to grab brunch with your friends? Not really.
But it's without a doubt one of my favorite places on earth. I love the comforting, faux-antique vibes. I love the easy-to-read menu. I love that you can get breakfast all day. (Shout-out to the Sunrise Sampler!) On a slightly hungover Sunday morning, you can always find me and my real friends chillin' with the post-church crowd, rockin' in our big beautiful front porch chairs, and waitin' for a table to open up at the CB.
OK, Basically All Chain Restaurants
While Beyonce recently gave Red Lobster a flawless publicity boost, I've been boasting my love for chain restaurants for a very long time. Chili's, Ruby Tuesday, TGIFriday's, Olive Garden, YES PLEASE.
I grew up far from rich, and when my family did a Big Night Out, it was usually at one of the many chain restaurants located in our Baltimore suburb. As a kid, my favorite was Sizzler, but you can't really find Sizzler on the East Coast anymore.
There's just something really comforting to me about settling in for dinner at Chili's, okay? And chain restaurants have some ballin' drink deals. I have recently gone on dates with two different dudes that have ended up at the Chili's bar, and I have no regrets!
I like reliable food at affordable prices, and I like my waiters flair'd up, so I don't see my love for chain restaurants ending any time soon. Who wants to be my next Chili's date? I'll buy us some $2 Miller Lites!
I don't have cable, but whenever I find myself in a home with cable (like when I'm housesitting, like right now — the dream job!), my first step is always to park myself in front of that TV and settle in for several hours of my very favorite channel: HGTV.
Though it's still quite a distance away, owning a home one day is one of my biggest dreams. Home ownership is rad. (Another "uncool" thing about me is that all of my biggest life fantasies mostly involve settling down and raising some kids and trying as hard as I can to become Gwyneth Paltrow.)
While I won't be owning a home for a very long time, I get to live vicariously through various HGTV programming. My mom and I always watch House Hunters together and take turns trash-talking the contestants and their terrible taste in kitchen decor. House Hunters International is basically my porn. (JK, porn is my porn.)
When I found out Property Brothers was on Netflix, I promptly kissed my productivity goodbye for several weeks. I love those brothers so much! And I could basically watch Love It or List It or Fixer Upper or Property Virgins all day, every day. It's so suburban and dorky and anything but on-trend, but it makes me really happy. And I register to win the HGTV Dream Home twice a day. Can't wait to win!
"Drops of Jupiter" by Train
There are a lot of songs in this world that I can love while acknowledging they are terrible. I mean, you guys don't even know how much Chingy is on my Spotify playlists. This is not the case for "Drops of Jupiter," though, which I think is a good song.
"Drops of Jupiter" came out when I was in middle school and immediately became the perfect ballad for scream-singing along to with my teenage friends during the carpool home. It's ridiculous and over-the-top and lovable. Its lyrics are ideal Instagram bio fodder. "She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo" is so me.
Train's lead singer, Patrick Monahan, said he wrote the song about his mother after she lost her battle with cancer, in case you needed something to feel sad about today.
Also, as a kid, I misheard the lyrics and thought he was singing, "Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded, and Van Halen is overrated?"
Self-Help Books
I'm in my mid-twenties, which means I'm in a constant state of transition, whether I like it or not. (And generally, I like it.) The last couple of years have been really tough, the past year in particular. In the words of my peer (JK) Kylie Jenner, "This is really the year of realizing stuff."
In the spirit of constantly realizing stuff, I'm a huge fan of self-help books. I like mainstream ones, like stuff from Elizabeth Gilbert or Sheryl Sandberg. And I like the wacky new-age-y stuff, too. I read a lot of books about how to use astrology to strengthen your relationships, or how to balance your cosmic energies or tap into your potential by alkalizing your diet, or whatever. I've read The Secret, like, four times.
I don't care if they're dorky, and I really don't care if they're pseudo-science. Nothing I've read has given me any dangerous advice. Most self-help books just tell you to keep a positive attitude or to find peace within yourselves or to work towards specific goals. Whenever I need a real kick-in-the-pants, I grab a new self-help book. (And I read it alone while sipping $2 Miller Lites at Chili's.)
When you think of scrunchies, you might think of Heathers (one of the greatest movies ever made) or Sex and the City (one of the greatest shows ever made) or the '80s (a decade in which one of the greatest people ever was made [hi!]).
When I think of scrunchies, I think of all of the above, but mostly I just see a literally perfect hair accessory. My hair is thin, damaged, fine, and terrible, so traditional hair ties rip out my precious hair and leave my it weirdly bent out of shape. Scrunchies are the perfect, soft solution for keeping my hair out of face without totally harshing my vibe.
Are they trendy? I don't know. I say they are. They're cute, practical, fun, and downright presidential if you ask me.
Here's another TV obsession I feel no shame in loving. Say Yes to the Dress is cheesy and silly and the obvious product of a consumerist society run by the Bridal Industrial Complex and I LOVE IT. I get so emotionally invested in every single episode.
First of all, I love wedding dresses. As much as I look forward to my distant future with a perfect family in our HGTV Dream Home, I really don't harbor wedding-day fantasies. I know I'll have one, but as of now, I don't have any hard or fast plans for it. I only know I probably won't wear white, but don't tell my dad that.
But I love wedding-dress shopping. Wedding dresses are SO fun and pretty. I love lace and beading and full skirts and tulle. Bridal shops are the ultimate combination of all my favorite things, including complimentary champagne and female bonding.
Say Yes to the Dress lets me get my fill of bridal designs while also letting me live vicariously through the show's recurring characters, as well as the shops' customers. I prefer the Atlanta version of SYTTD because I live for Monte, but I love the New York version, too. I'm dying to go to Kleinfeld's, but all of my NYC girlfriends are too busy working on their "careers" to get engaged so that I can have an excuse to look at all those insane Pnina Tornai gowns.
I like the show's commitment to telling diverse stories as well. I've been watching for years, and I've seen them feature the stories of gay women, women of every ethnicity, and women who have survived some seriously traumatizing shit. And then there's, of course, all the brides who are just THE WORST. I love them, too. I love when a 21-year-old bride comes in with her 14 bridesmaids and tries to sass Monte. She's always like, "I have a budget of $4,500," and I'm always like, "Girl do you even know how many Miller Lites you could get at Chili's for that?"

Episode 7: Shimona Tzukernik, The Kabbalah Coach
B"H Do you think Judaism does not have what to offer you in terms of spirituality? Are you spiritually inclined, but think spirituality can be achieved through other traditions? Or perhaps, you're super practical and don't think Jewish spirituality has much to offer you because, "who has time for that stuff?" I think today's interview will be insightful, no matter which of those camps you're holding on. Today, I speak … Continue reading Episode 7: Shimona Tzukernik, The Kabbalah Coach

IRA Shares
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
It's never too late, or early, to plan for your retirement. A SAFCU IRA is a smart addition to your retirement portfolio, providing potential tax advantages.1 Whether you plan to retire in a few years or a few decades, SAFCU is the place to get started. We offer two IRA plans to help you start saving:
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA plan offers three basic benefits: Security for your retirement years; tax-deferred dividends until you withdraw your funds (as early as age 59-1/2); and a possible deduction from annual gross income on your federal income tax return. These tax advantages make the Traditional IRA a powerful tool in creating a balanced, long-term savings plan.
Roth IRA
Roth IRAs are different from traditional as contributions are made with post-income taxed dollars. Unlike a Traditional IRA, Roth IRAs permit continuing contributions after age 70-1/2, and there is no requirement to begin withdrawals at age 70-1/2. Retirement savers can have both a Traditional and a Roth IRA, but combined contributions in any tax year are limited to that year's limit1. The Roth IRA offers more incentives to boost your retirement savings.
Deciding between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA
Review the following chart to decide which best fits your financial situation.1
|Traditional IRA
|Roth IRA
|You must be under 70 1/2 years old.
|Available for all ages.
|Contribution limits
(if age 50 or older by 12/31/15)
(if age 50 or older by 12/31/15)
|Contribution deadline
|IRAs must be opened by April 15 the current tax year, for previous tax year benefits.
|Income limit
|Anyone is eligible to contribute, but not everyone will receive the tax benefit.
|Up to $117,000 for Single filers.
Up to $184,000 for Married (combined annual income).
|Earnings are tax-deferred until withdrawn. This may help you decrease your taxable income to a lower tax bracket.
No income restrictions.
|Tax free withdrawals on the principal and all earnings.
No mandatory distribution age.
No minimum withdrawal requirement.
|Withdrawals before 59 1/2 are subject to a 10% penalty.1
|Contributions are not deducted from your taxable income.
|Current Rates

Two Ways to Invest
Our Traditional and Roth IRAs are available as IRA Savings or IRA Certificates. Here's an overview of both options:
|IRA Certificate
|IRA Savings
|What is it?
|A guaranteed fixed rate for a specific term. After your certificate matures, you can move it or let it automatically renew with a new fixed rate.
|A savings account that earns a variable rate. You aren't locked into any time frame, so you can enjoy more flexibility.
|Who is it for?
|Members who want the peace of mind of a steady return on their money.
|Members with limited starting funds, or anyone who wants the freedom to move their money around.
|Contribution deadline
|IRAs must be opened by April 15 of the current tax year, for previous tax year benefits.
|Available in?
|Traditional and Roth IRAs

|Account minimum
|What are the terms?

|No set terms
|Is it insured?
|Yes, by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)2
|Yes, by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)1

Police search for another suspicious van
Police search for another suspicious van
Spencer police are searching for the driver of a white van who tried to make contact with some students at a playground in Spencer.
Police say a man in his 60s stopped at an elementary school Tuesday afternoon and motioned for the students to come over. Some teacher aides came outside and the man left.
Three similar incidents have been reported in Lyon and Dickinson counties in the past few weeks.
Spencer Police Chief Mark Lawson says the suspect and vehicle description in Tuesday's incident are a close match to the others, but he can't say if the cases are linked.

You will make a Mongolia photo tour through the wild Taiga nature and meet Reindeer herders – Tsaatan people who live in the northern part of Mongolia, so close to Russian border. This photo tour gives you a great opportunity to photograph majestic mountains, peaceful forest and picturesque lakes, hundreds of sheep, horses on grasslands, reindeer caravan in the wilderness and lifestyle of authentic nomads and Mongolian Ethnic Dukha Tribe. All levels of photographers are welcome. If you are a landscape, portrait, travel, and night photographer and looking for your next photo destination then this is the right tour for you.
For the brief about shamans in Northern Mongolia; the shaman might wear a headdress to resemble a bird, with the tail of pheasant and the body costume of a fish. Drums are used to help the shaman enter the trance-like state, as chanting begins and the shaman "transcends "into another world while the body dances, swirls or totters with jerky movements. Shamanism went underground during the former communist period, but has been revived recently. This authentic shaman ritual would be one of the most uncommon objects to capture in Mongolia. You can collect amazing photo shoots and experience unique culture on this Mongolian Photo Tour.

Course Outline for Complete Logic
What do others think?
'Well I was very sceptical at first thinking that this would be a course like any other course. I was totally mistaken and taken by surprise. For a non-musician who has had minimal exposure to software such as Logic Pro 9 I was taken aback when I got to part 2 on the course. Apart from being easy to digest with the ability to run the course at your own speed, there is a wealth of knowledge shared by Rob Jones that I found incredibly useful. When I bought Logic Pro 9 I was at a bit of a loss as to whether I had invested wisely. Rob Jones' course has opened up many possibilities and is currently helping to realise how powerful this application is as well as explain what each part does and what it is for. Things like cutting up samples and understanding midi were an anathema to me until I started this course now I am much more wiser. The video tutorials are clear to watch and easy to follow and I like the idea that I can always go back again if I have missed a point.Bravo! A course well worth investing in!'

Colton: Haven Alexandria Penman and Le Mason Killed in Collision with Drunk Driver
Comments (0)
Shortly before 7 p.m. on Friday, January 18, 13-year-old Haven Alexandria Penman and 56-year-old Le Mason, both of Riverside, were killed in a collision with a drunk driver in Colton. While traveling southbound on Main Street in a Mercury Sable, 29-year-old Michael Dwayne Hughes, of Moreno Valley, crashed into Mason's PT Cruiser as she turned left from a northbound lane of Main into the driveway of a business. Mason and Penman, a passenger in her vehicle, were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities arrested Hughes on suspicion of DUI and homicide.
"When a family loses a loved one to a motor vehicle collision, they may file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault driver in order to hold him or her liable for their loss," explained California car accident attorney James Ballidis.
Colton accounted for 3 of the 180 fatalities and 364 of the 11,050 injuries suffered by motor vehicle occupants in crashes that occurred in San Bernardino County in 2010, according to the California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. Alcohol was a contributing factor to 75 of the fatal and 860 of the injury collisions that occurred in the county that year.
All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to offer our condolences to the families of Haven Alexandria Penman and Le Mason, the two vehicle occupants killed in the collision with the drunk driver.
The Press-Enterprise originally reported this Colton crash.
Additional information on the injury and the wrongful death claims process is available to the public free of charge through our office.
If you would like to request one of these free resources, or to discuss a specific legal matter with a California car accident attorney, feel free to call 866-981-5596.

Head shrinking belts, Japanese womens latest fad!October 1st, 2008 - 6:45 pm ICT by ANI
London, Oct 1 (ANI): Fashion conscious women in Japan are increasingly taking to cosmetic belts to shrink their heads.
The five-pound belt can be worn around the head while sleeping.
The makers of the Small Face Make Belt, called as the Kogao Meiku Beruto, claim that it will help in shrinking the size of the heads over time.
Meanwhile, the men have also opted to go for a shrinking change and have been buying a gadget to make their mouths smaller.
The machine, which costs 4 pounds and is called a Tex Mex Slim Mouth, looks like an extendable gum shield.
The machine is said to train mouth muscles if used for three minutes a day.
The craze for the wacky gizmos is sweeping Japan, and it was noticed by the international trend-spotting firm Cscout, which highlighted the inventions.
The Japanese have a very clear idea of how they want their faces to look, the Sun quoted CScout boss Michael Keferl as saying. (ANI)

What happens when we die? Explaining death to your child
When thinking about death we have so many questions and very few answers. It's where the fear and disbelief stem from. Children are renown for saying exactly, and frankly, what's on their minds. They also have questions which we can find hard to answer, especially when our grief is so raw and we feel lost in […]Read More

The Grill Deal
Day 331 in my "Year In My Life Through Pictures" blog series
It's that time of year again. Time to clean off the grill and start searing some meat. Oh, but wait, our grill is messed up and is only half working. The propane burner is only burning on one side, which means that it is not going to be able to be used as is. I priced a new burner and they clock in at about $30, so with my frugalness and not wanting to repeat the same thing next year I think we will buy a better quality grill.
I thought that a charcoal grill would be nice, since you get a better flavor, Chandra thinks differently and wants the convenience of a gas grill. I admit that gas is much easier to work with, but you do not get the full flavor that charcoal affords. I think that convenience will win out this round though. I can always take the nonworking grill and make it into a charcoal grill and use it too. Wonder if I can make it into a smoker somehow so we can smoke our own meat. May be too much trouble for that, but I am liking the recycling into a charcoal grill idea.
Tomorrow is the kickoff to the official summer season. People will be out at the beach, boating and grilling. It is actually Memorial Day though, but it is now just used as a marker date and an extra day off for people. According to Wikipedia, Memorial Day was first known as "Decoration Day" and was a day that was set aside by formerly enslaved African-Americans to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War – it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. The first "known" observance was in 1865 and the name did not morph into "Memorial Day" from "Decoration Day" until 1882.
I do think we should remember those that gave all for this country. We should also be thankful for those currently serving and readily tell them thank you whenever we can. Please take the time this Memorial Day to thank a veteran or a currently enlisted soldier for their willingness to serve and protect us. It is an honorable thing to be a soldier and I greatly appreciate each and every soldier's many sacrifices, as well as their families. So, officially to every soldier current or past I say "THANK YOU".

Rachel, Alex, and Marissa - Orange County Family Photographer
Having a sister or brother means being born with friends. Sure, siblings know how to push each others buttons and there are bound to be fights, but no one else can understand a person or her history the way a sibling can. Rachel, Alex, and Marissa are prime examples of siblings who are also friends and I had the pleasure of photographing them this week. All three of them are kind, funny, intelligent, and gorgeous. I loved watching the dynamics between them ... they have a million inside jokes, love to rough house, and are always looking out for each other. From Alex warning Rachel not to sit on a thorny bush to Rachel fixing Marissa's hair without being asked ... the love emanating from them was so clear! Especially evident was the way Rachel and Alex feel about their little sister, Marissa. They way they look at her and watch out for her ... you can just tell how much they adore her. Rachel, Alex, and Marissa - thank you for being so easy going and fun to photograph. Thank you also for loving one another so much! You are very inspiring and I hope someday my children will love each other as much as you do. I hope you enjoy your pictures!
Umm ... I am pretty sure I was no where near this beautiful at 11 years old!
Rachel, you are gorgeous!
Rachel giving Alex bunny ears and Rachel laughing hysterically at herself. :)
Alex was a crack up and kept sitting on Marissa! That's what older brothers are supposed to do though, right? :)

Do you know that daily small gestures improve relationships?
I am reading (for the 4th times) The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. It is a book that brings together pretty much all motivation and personal development into one. Jeff Olson states that it is the small daily steps done continuously will always get you to the goals.
The same concept can apply to all areas in your life.
Imagine if you did small things that show your family how much you love them. What do you think would happen? It doesn't have to be anything that costs anything, just simple things that would improve your relationships.
Even when the hurdles of life come into play, the small gestures is what will keep your relationship strong.
Another way you can look at it is picture your bank account. If you did small gestures every day, even when tough time comes the amount of gestures in your gesture bank account will always out weigh the tough times.
I give you the challenge to test this concept out on your relationships. The challenge is to do small daily activities to improve your relationship with your loved ones for the next month and head to my facebook page Coaching for Lifetime Change and share with how you are going.

Bring Your Own Device or "BYOD" as it is more commonly referred as, means a company allows their employees to use their personal communication devices for work-related activities. It's a move that not only can cut expenses, but enhances and improves employee productivity. In a study by Tech Pro Research, they report that about 60% of companies now allow their staff to use their own devices for business. But with all the sensitive company information floating on devices that aren't controlled by the company, many IT professionals get concerned this move puts the organization's data and software at risk.
Any change to your business means assessing the initial cost, the long term costs, and the potential savings.

Article Title
Retention of Esperanto is Affected by Delay-Interval Task and Item Closure: A Partial Resolution of the Delay-Retention Effect
Document Type
The present studies were undertaken to examine the effects of manipulating delay-interval task (Study 1) and timing of feedback (Study 2) on acquisition and retention. Participants completed a 100-item cumulative final examination, which included 50 items from each laboratory examination, plus 50 entirely new items. Acquisition and retention were examined in Study 1 in which delayinterval task, length of delay until feedback was delivered, and the opportunity to answer until correct (AUG) were manipulated and, in Study 2, in which the number of items completed before feedback was delivered and AUC were manipulated. Delays longer than 5 s negatively affected learning (Study 1) when participants engaged in a delay-interval distraction task; enhancement was observed when individual test items and correct responses were reviewed during the interval. Significant decrements in learning were observed in Study 2 in the absence of a distraction task when more than 1 test item was completed prior to the delivery of feedback. The present outcomes add to the growing body of evidence that retention is maximized when test items are completed individually and exited with knowledge of the correct response, that the opportunity to answer until correct minimizes perseverative inaccurate responding and, for multiple-choice test items, that immediate feedback is a more effective facilitator of retention than delayed feedback.

The S.C. High School League's realignment plan for next school year remains at least two more weeks from completion.
On Monday, the league's executive committee voted to have commissioner Jerome Singleton call a special meeting of the league's legislative assembly to clarify the process.
"They will say 'This is how we want it done,' " Singleton said.
The legislative assembly, consisting of one representative from each of the state's 32 regions, will meet Oct. 29.
Their task will be to lay out who is responsible for what in the bi-annual process of dividing the state's high schools by enrollment.
In the past, the commissioner and his assistants have divided up the schools into four classes of eight regions each by using the 135-day enrollment figures from the previous school year.
Singleton and his staff did that over the summer, presenting a plan for 2010-12 that was approved by the executive committee.
That plan had, among other things, Chapin playing in a Class 3A region against schools from the Greenville-Spartanburg area.
But during the appeals process, Chapin questioned the authority of the league staff and executive committee in the realignment process, since the steps to the process are not laid out in the SCHSL constitution.
Later this month, the legislative assembly's task will be to specify who has what role.

Smart Meter Technologies Traineeship
Introduction and background
The Government has set a target to have Smart Meters installed in all 27 million homes in the UK by 2020. Smart Meters will enable energy companies to tell exactly how much energy a customer is using without visiting their premises, meaning an end to estimated bills.
Smart Meters give customers the power to manage energy use more effectively. By providing detailed information on how much a customer spends on energy and when they spend it, customers will be better able to manage their energy costs.
With potentially 53 million gas and electricity meters in total across the UK that need to be changed to Smart Meters, it is critical to facilitate an adequate supply of competent people with the ability to install and commission Dual Fuel Smart Meters and communication systems in order to meet the government targets.

- Health & Safety
- Drug & alcohol awareness
- Basic electrical understanding
- Gas safety understanding
- Hand tools dexterity (including crimping, soldering, bending, threading, copper, steel and track pipe)
- Work placement activity with a utilities company under a mentor
Entry Requirements
You must hold a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade C or above including English and maths. You must hold a full driving licence. You will need to have an interest in the gas and power industry and in mechanical/electrical/physical equipment and networks.

Hello, everyone! A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from one of my team mates at A Blog Named Hero, Sarah Gray. She asked if I'd like to take part in a blog hop that is all about getting to know people out there in blogland, so I said yes! Please go and check out Sarah's blog - I love her CAS style, I adore the name of her blog (Funky Fossil Designs) and she's only been blogging since March this year, but she's already such a pro!
So the idea with this blog hop is to get to know fellow crafters by their answers to a few questions - so here goes!
1. What creative projects are you
currently working on?
I am on three challenge blog design teams - A Blog Named Hero, Fusion, and Addicted to CAS. I always try to have my DT projects done at least a few weeks in advance, and so I need to catch up on a few of them! I also usually try to have some ideas for Christmas cards I can make in bulk each year by August, and I have NO IDEAS yet, so will have to get my thinking cap on in the next couple of weeks :)
Recently, I've been having great fun with stencils, Wendy Vecchi embossing paste (having been inspired by Debby Hughes, Joy Taylor and Christine Drogt), as well as with Faber Castell Gelatos (having been hooked since Joy Taylor and Lyndal Higgins gave me some!)
2. What inspires your
All sorts of things inspire me, but mainly my blogging friends. I am full of admiration for so many of my card-making buddies (you can see a list of my favourite blogs in the sidebar on the right -->>>). I keep a Pinterest board of cards that made me gasp (you can see it HERE), and I try to take inspiration from them, without copying them directly. I just love finding cards from fellow card-makers that make me say to myself, "I wish I'd thought of that!"
Also, I really enjoy taking part in challenges, and some of my favourite ones are when I can CASE a fabulous card maker, or use a photo or a word as inspiration. I particularly like CASE study, Muse, Lawnscaping, CASual Fridays and Keep it Simple. Here are some recent cards I've made for challenges:
Online Card Classes (run by Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner, along with Debby Hughes and Julie Ebersole, four of my all time top cardmaking inspirations). Some of my favourite cards I've made have come from Online Card Classes.
3. What method / process (if
applicable) do you apply to each of your creative projects, and how long does
each project take to complete?
95% of my cards start out as a sheet of white cardstock. I usually have something in mind - a colour or colour scheme, a product (be it a stamp, a stencil, embossing paste, a die), or a technique I want to try out. I used to keep a book of card sketches that I'd always pull out when I was stuck for inspiration, but I find I reach for that less and less nowadays. I also have an enormous stash of patterned papers, and coloured cardstock, but that is gathering dust a bit - I'm happier using stamps and inks!
Most of my cards take less than 30 minutes to complete - some are slower, some are quicker. But I like to start and finish a card in one sitting - I very rarely leave and come back to it later (unless, of course, I'm making a heap of the same thing, like invitations, in which case I do a production line kind of thing).
4. If you had to describe your
'signature' style, what would it be?
Probably Clean and Simple, but that's not a hard and fast rule. I like to try different things, and if a particular technique does not lend itself to a CAS style, then so be it!
5. What three crafting
tools/products can you not live without?
Only three?!?! ( I assume that stamps, inks and cardstock are a given?) Well, a paper trimmer (I have 3, but I use my Fiskars trimmer the most), my Stampin' Up Stampin' Scrub, and the last is a toss-up between my heat tool and my Stampin' Up scissors. Pretty much the basics. However, there are so many cool tools out there that I have and love, or don't have and covet!
Now, I'd like to nominate 2 fellow crafters to keep this blog hop going - these are ladies whose cardmaking style I admire, but who I also consider to be friends (and because of their awesomeness!).
Kelly Latevola of "You and Your Big Dreams" - other than the fact that Kelly and I both have a "thing" for rainbows, I think she and I have very similar taste in cards. She does CAS so very, very well, and her designs are always clever. Her cards make my jaw drop on a regular basis.
Linda Trace of "Linda Trace Designs" - Linda does it all - scrapbooking, card-making, mixed media, Copics, you name it! And she is just the most generous person - she's the best!
Thanks so much for visiting! :)

Let Them Eat Waffles! (At The Lincoln House)
Thanks Much to Ed for the tip!
We've spoken to everyone who will talk to us at the Waffle Shop and the Lincoln House Restaurant Bar & Deli, they've all confirmed that the Waffle Shop is moving to the Lincoln House. The details they provided include:
- The menu & staff will move to the Lincoln House Restaurant (ground floor space). No word on the basement bar/restaurant of the Lincoln House.
- Move should happen in the very near future, as early as next week.
- Name may eventually change to the Lincoln House Waffle Shop.
- No word on what will happen to the counters or sign from the Waffle Shop.
This blogger couldn't be happier to hear that the greatest greasy breakfast in PQ will live on past the demo of the Waffle Shop's current location.
If you enjoyed this post, please consider leaving a comment or subscribing to the feed and get future articles delivered to your feed reader.
Didn't HPRB declare that Jemal had to preserve the exterior of the Waffle Shop? I would read that as meaning the sign would have to say. I'd also imagine that the original Waffle Shop interior will have to be gutted for the new tenant. Unless someone is willing to pay for the counters and stools and haul them away, those will be trashed as well. If I wasn't broke, I'd set them up in my backyard. It's a shame they had to go, but they've lived a good long life. If all that bubblegum under the counter could talk…
Hopefully that they're in a less grungy interior, PQ residents will avail themselves of some of the best cheap diner fare DC has to offer.
The Waffle Shop is a million times better than the Waffle House and hopefully this will dispurse the brunch crowds on Sundays!!!!
I remember talking to a waitress at the WH and she said the place was in great need of repair — obviously. The point being it sounded like it was a "tear down" rather than "restore" type of place (other than the signage).
Stating that the Waffle Shop is better than Waffle House is incorrect. Saying that it is a million times better makes you sound ridiculous. I'm kidding, sort of.
This is off topic but the outside seating area for Chipotle is gone. Please tell me this is permanent.
This is great news about the Waffle Shop! Would it be illogical or tacky to just move the "historic" sign to the new location?
That's great that the Waffle Shop won't disappear, but one of the grea t things about it is the sign and the counter. If those are gone, the block will definitely be more sterile and less uniquely DC. Sigh.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

On 2-10-2014 and 2-5-2014 grooming was done up Twelve Mile. As of 2-10 there was approximately 24 inches of fresh snow that was being pushed by the snowcat. Snow conditions are considerably better than last week. There is not much riding pressure, so there is plenty of untouched areas to play. Be careful though as avalanche dangers are still very high.

Hi all,
I am new to this website and forum, and am sure this has probably been covered before; but I'm wondering if anyone knows a private health fund that covers for a private midwife in a private hospital.
I'm keen on going to a private hospital (interested in staying in hosp for support as long as possible), but using a private midwife.
I am not pregnant yet so want to get this sorted as soon as possible so I can ensure I complete any qualifiying periods.
I'm also wondering, when going private, do you have to pay for an OB, or can you have a private midwife, and use the hospital midwives as well?
***new and confused!!!***

Private Health - which fund covers private midwife?
13-02-2012 14:01 #2
If you're going private you will have an OB. No PHI company that I know of covers private midwives. Maybe try ringing a few (both IM's and PHI's) and see what they say?
Good Luck.
13-02-2012 15:03 #3
I work in the PHI industry and as far as I know, you can't get full cover for a MW, only an OB. However there are a lot of funds and plans out there, so best to check obviously.
The quickest way probably is to actually ask a few private MW if they are covered. They would also need to have authority to book you in to a private hospital too, as usually your OB does this on your behalf.

The private midwives that qualify for the program with medicare have to work with an ob anyway, so they're not quite the independent middie most look for.
Most funds can pay on midwife consultations, but as a non-medical ancillary service. They don't cover midwife costs for birth (usually) in or out of hospy. The benefits for the consults are tiny too ($20-$40)

Pretty sure you can't get a private midwife in a private hospital. We have a private midwife and I highly recommend it. All of our visit are done at home and I only have to go to the hospital a couple of times, one for the booking in and one for strep B swab. Booking in appt was the only time I've seen an OB and don't think I will again until the birth, all going well. For our appointment we get about 1/3 back from Medicare but her "management fee" and the fee to attend the birth isn't covered at all. I'll also get about 1/3 back for post natal visits.
We have top PHI with HCF and absolutely nothing is covered. It's ridiculous. It's either an OB or nothing with the private health funds.
We still made the right care model choice for us. I have no need or desire to be cared for by an OB. My midwife also runs the Calm Birth classes which is great.
Good luck with your decision!

Good point! All up including six post natal visits it's costing us around $3k and would be about $2.5k if we didn't choose home visits for our appointments. Still well worth the money if you ask me, and we are going to drop our PHI so it no longer covers obstetrics since we are not using it.

Hi I'm with AHM and they cover $500 for private midwife, but I think it's only for home births and not payable if u transfer to hospital. I haven't looked into it too much so there may be more fine print.
This is something I'd like to get more info on too as I'd love a private midwife in private hospital for a vbac one day. I suppose once I'm pregnant I'll talk to my hospy and see what the options are.
Maybe a silly question, but can you book into a private hospital without having a private ob, and just use their midwives?

Thanks for all of your responses.
I've been doing some reading through other forums and it looks like there are a couple of health funds that cover private midwives (Australian Unity and NRMA, now MBF) but you can't use in a private hospital - which is ridiculous.
Looks like I will hv to go with an OB and hope that I get a good midwife, unless I go into public hosp as a private patient which was mentioned. Not sure how that works...
Can anyone recommend a gap free OB that's decent? I refuse to pay $3500 for an OB who probably won't even make it to birth...
Thanks again.
13-02-2012 21:43 #10
Good luck finding a gap free OB! I looked for one when pregnant with DD, never found one, though Tasmania is very limited

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe announced today that the first-ever soundtrack compiling the entire Dark Souls trilogy will be coming to vinyl in very limited quantities.
The Age of Fire arrives on your turntable Autumn 2017 with DARK SOULS, THE VINYL TRILOGY!
9-vinyl collector box, 2,000 copies, €119 / £109 pic.twitter.com/epNoHrX2q4
— Bandai Namco UK (@BandaiNamcoUK) July 27, 2017
Announced via the Bandai Namco UK's Twitter page, the Dark Souls – The Vinyl Trilogy will be a numbered collection of only 2000 copies to be sold on the Bandai Namco Entertainment Official Store this Fall. The official soundtrack will include nine vinyl records in its collector's box with more than five hours of music from Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Dark Souls III.
According to Bandai Namco, the music, which has been composed by Motoi Sakuraba and Yuka Kitamura, will remind you of the "sinister, dark and dramatic world" of the Dark Souls series.
Dark Souls – The Vinyl Trilogy is not yet available for purchase or pre-order, but when it is, it will run €119 / £109. No word on if the collection will also be sold in North America or anywhere outside of Europe.
In other Dark Souls news, the original title from the series just got a new mod that allows PC players to fight all of the game's bosses without having to play through all of the content between them.
