The Grand Ballroom in Dolmabahce Palace is the most amazing single room I've ever been in. There is the largest chandelier in the world (weighing 4 tons), and grandeur everywhere. To top in off, there are wonderful gardens and fountains, and it's all along the shores of the Bosphorus and easily accessible by public transportation.
This decadent palace overlooking the Bosphorus in Europe holds great importance to Turkey. The late-19th-century Ottoman sultans resided and ruled the Ottoman Empire from here, and when the Turkish Republic's capital was located in Ankara, the first president, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, stayed in the palace whenever he visited Istanbul. He took his last breaths here on November 10, 1938 at 9:05 am—the time still displayed on the clocks in the palace today.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Taking a power nap has never been easier for some high school students in New Mexico.
"Sleep pods" have been installed at a few high schools in the Las Cruces area. KRQE reports that the pods let students lie on a recliner while listening to music as colorful lights shine inside.
Linda Summers is an associate professor at New Mexico State University. She wrote a federal grant that awarded the college $128,000 and the university donated the pods to the high schools. At the time, the pods cost $14,000.
Summers tells KVIA that they've found agitated adolescents responded well to the sleep pods. She says they could be having an argument with someone, go into the pod for 20 minutes and be able to return to class.

8 facts about New York City
Happy Sunday!
It's August 2017 and I just hit my two-year mark living in New York City. I moved here with an understanding of how it was going to be, but reality would prove me wrong. It's a real love-hate relationship (mostly love though), so I thought it would be fun to write down what I've learned about this big concrete jungle so far.
1. It's cool to be busy. If you ask someone about their life, they probably meet you with a "I'm good! But busy…" If you're not busy, what are you really doing?
2. Rent is a bitch. Nothing more, nothing less.
3. You're going to work hard for what you want. More than you ever imagined. It kind of goes hand in hand with no. 1, because New Yorker's perspective on career is work, work, work, eat by the desk, work, work, work, sleep. Do it all over again. I was expecting to work hard, but in Denmark we just work in a different way than here.
4. There'll always be a street you didn't see before. My girlfriend just moved to New York in a gorgeous apartment in FiDi (Financial District), and helping her getting settled we got lost more than once and had to put the GPS on. I would think that I knew at least Manhattan by now, but I still get lost in the streets and even take the wrong train once in a while. I guess that keeps your brain activated, right? Hah.
5. Catcalling becomes part of your everyday life. I personally can't stand it, at it makes me feel very uncomfortable. More than once I've gotten into a big argument with the man catcalling me, but they just don't stop. It's like they don't get how rude it is. I could go on and on about this, but I'll just say #girlpower.
6. There's always something to do. 1,5 years ago I even made a list of 10 things to do when totally bored, and that's still my go-to list.
7. Commuting is every day life. An hour each way is totally normal. With my new job my commute is going to be around 35 minutes, which is way better than the hour I was used to, but I'll still have to kill some time on the subway.
8. Rush-hour is 24-hours. New York City is really not that big square meter wise (which is also why they quickly ran out of space in Manhattan and started building up, up, UP), but it takes a dang long time to drive around because of the traffic. I recently got my American drivers license and naturally started driving our car, but the amount of time I can spend on the highway almost makes me want to go back to the Subway.
Where are you guys from? What are facts that you have discovered about your city?

Demonstrating with her gnarled hands how she held the knife that killed her husband, a Joliet woman said she wasn't strong enough to resist when he grabbed her hands and stabbed himself in the heart as she was about to turn on some Christmas music.
"I was trying to go back with my entire body," Enice Neely, 53, testified today. "I said, 'I don't want to stab you, I don't want to hurt you.'
"It sounds crazy to you, but it's the honest-to-God truth," she said.
Neely was never charged in the 2005 stabbing death of her husband Jeff, 45, who she blames for the "tragic accident."

Carrillo Gabriela II - Spruce
Carrillo Gabriela II - Spruce
Out of Stock
One of the many things that are unique to quality classical guitars is the appearance of the rosewood, whether Indian or Brazilian.
There is so much variety, in grain, depth and colour, which immediately adds character to an instrument. I am constantly amazed and love seeing the natural beauty of wood highlighted through the workmanship of the luthier.
This guitar is a wonderful example of such workmanship.
The bold patterns of the rosewood take your breath away with colour that ranges from the pale sapwood to fiery red. Add to that the texture within each colour and the matching of the wood and you have a work of art.
Of course we need this work of art to be reflected in the sound and this guitar does not disappoint.
The main indication of quality for me is that, at first, her voice was clear, focussed and controlled and then within 20 minutes I started to hear and feel the potential scope of the sound and after an hour I was getting so much more in tone colour, dynamic and "around" sound.
This period of warming up and playing in is very important and an indication of quality as it shows that the top is flexing and developing all the time, and has the ability to give you more and more in the way of colour and variety.
She has a complex voice that is growing in many ways at the moment. The foundation is one of a mellow, golden tone that retains focus and clarity in every note. Within this is a more vibrant and vivid character that is eager to come out as the music gets more exciting and dramatic.
When she arrived she had Savarez high-tension Alliance trebles and Corum basses on, which highlight the bright and exciting character. I could hear the warmth and depth developing as I played so decided to also try the Crystal trebles and was rewarded by a glowing tone and richness that did not lose clarity or definition.
As I played I always felt able to control the sound easily and so was free to experiment with different strengths and angles of attack. I was able to get fantastic depth and volume with deep strokes through the strings, contrasting with sweet, silvery tones when playing gently.
From the subtle detail and simplicity of Sor studies to the big, expansive lines in Prelude 1 by Villa Lobos she reacted beautifully to my musical ideas and in the louder passages I was left with a feeling that there was a lot more in the tank.
I particularly enjoyed playing my favourite Nocturne by Mertz, where the melody sang beautifully over an even arpeggio that produced some great "fat" and full bodied harmonies.
In complete contrast to this I felt that Giuliani's Grand Overture would be a good test, as it needs that "orchestral" feel to work properly. The guitar gave me loads of musical "room" with a fantastic dynamic and tonal range, definition and clarity and easy articulation.
I could easily achieve an exhilarating sound, intense basses and also more delicate tones, and found control of contrasts easy. She carries long melodic phrases particularly well with a clear, singing melodic voice.
Overall this guitar has a lot to give. I love the contrasts that make her such a colourful and dramatic instrument, and I know that the journey that her owner undertakes will be a very exciting and compelling one.

The Chargers have had as much success playing regular-season football games in Pittsburgh as Germany has managed in regular world wars. That known, for them to finish on the short end in the city of the three rivers hardly makes for a denouement worthy of Agatha Christie.
So they lost. NFL teams lose. All but one in history hasn't. Continuously losing in Pittsburgh is a problem, but in this case, it was acne on the elephant in the room. It was the way they lost. It was humiliating. Disturbing.
"Absolutely embarrassing," Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith confirmed yesterday during the first of our annual quarterly report get-togethers. "Everything is wrong with it right now. I'm not the least bit happy in a lot of areas. I've seen us be tough and physical to soft and bewildered."
Coach Norv Turner fumed when asked if his lads were manhandled. Norv, your team was Stooges-slapped defensively. He even went so far to say his defensive line didn't play all that poorly in Pittsburgh. Norv, by game's end, your guys were wringing out their uniforms after being blown into the Monongahela — or was it the Allegheny or the Ohio? Maybe the soaking helped remove the tire tracks.
The Candy Man can sugar-coat things, but he can't blindfold the angry, watchful villagers. This was one pathetic voyage, and he was on the bridge.
The Steelers ran up 32 first downs, 497 total yards — 165 of those provided on the ground by JV tailback Rashard Mendenhall, who had been exiled to coach Mike Tomlin's personal Elba. The Chargers were aspirin for their Super Bowl hangover.
Going in, San Diego hadn't played the run worth a damn, but had sucked it up and improved when it mattered. They never sucked it up in Pittsburgh. And with defensive coordinator Ron Rivera content to fall back in that zone and allow quarterback Ben Roethlisberger — who is very good, by the way — to stand around and throw underneath all night without adjusting defied logic.
You think you have cover corners. Man-up and get after the quarterback. You're not beating a good QB that way (you're only going to get JaMarcus Russell twice a year). Even if losing is inevitable, show the other guys you've been shaving for a while.
The Chargers can't run block, can't stop the run, can't come close to applying enough quarterback pressure — from inside or outside — and will continue to have trouble defending the pass if the secondary is ordered to back off receivers as if their pockets are filled with Strontium 90.
This is not a physical football team — on either side of the ball.
Very few Chargers played well Sunday night, but the coaching staff gets a flat game ball. Steve Crosby, who runs special teams, seemed the only guy on the sidelines who knew what he was doing.
Turner may be an offensive wizard, but this was yet another game his guys started as if introduced just prior to kickoff, when one play, one stop, could have made a tremendous difference. Maybe he should come out in the two-minute offense and let it rip.
Get down 28-0 to Pittsburgh on the road, don't brag about comebacks, how your team fights to the end. How about fighting in the beginning?
The front seven, not long ago thought to be the best in the sport, has become the Seven Blocks of Marmalade. So seminal nose tackle Jamal Williams is hurt and out, as is defensive end Ryon Bingham? So Shawne Merriman isn't ready? Send anvils, not flowers.
"Everybody gets hurt in the National Football League, if not early, then late, or in the playoffs," Smith said. "You do the best you can. Deal with it.
"Everything bothers me right now and there's not much we can do. You can make trades (trading deadline's Oct. 20) or go on the street, but all you can do is tweak in football — during the season. You can lose your job and the players are still here."
What to do? This is a bye week, a time to heal, but the Chargers need an attitude inoculation. Don't give me that "San Diego soft" crap. One Charger was raised in San Diego — nose tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo — and he played at Michigan State.
Denver is 4-0 and now has a two-game cushion on the Chargers in the AFC West. The Broncos get New England at home this week. If they take that one and come in here and win on Oct. 19, they'll be 6-0 and the Chargers may as well book January cruises. The miracle of 2008, when Denver collapsed and the 8-8 Chargers made the playoffs, isn't happening again.
"If this trend continues, we'll be 8-8 — or worse — and certainly out of the division," Smith said. "We won't have the credentials. It's not going well for the San Diego Chargers and we'd better get our act together quickly.
"We need to complete games. We've gained absolutely no ground over last year. I'm extremely disappointed."
A.J. Smith sounds like our e-mailers. Except he won't call for his own firing.

Mickey Blue Eyes
I wasn't looking forward to the analfield derby game, and it had nothing to do with the possibility of defeat; after all, we haven't won a derby there for over a decade. In any case the score can go any and every which way in these games. Anyone who bets on them is a mug.
No, long ago, somewhere along the line, the worst of both sets of fans lost sight of the true meaning of the words "competition" and "rivalry." It then spilled over into mindless poison that ate away at everything worthwhile in the fixture. Nowadays it is little more than an excuse for howling at the moon.
The root of this was the late Emlyn Hughes way back in 1977, a horror show that wasn't eased by later, repeated apologies. He couldn't unsay; the damage was done and never forgotten. Hughes had punctured a notoriously thin hymen and everything else flooded through the opening. Soon it was populated by too many individuals who think their own mad hatred more important than any alternative. The kind of wicked humour which once typified these games now exists only in a dying breed of certain age and temperament. Most of the evolutionary leftovers are a sort of Darwinian reverse, human to simian, though in a lot of cases that might be an insult to our distant cousins. Whatever the sick cause(s), one side is now as bad as the other, all of it magnified by a generation with minimum conversational ability and maximum weird electronic "friends" and "feelings." How sad, how needless, how useless. And, really, sod all to do with football.
From an Evertonian point of view there isn't too much to say about the game. It was a playing disaster against modest opponents. Moyesy took a gamble with his team selection and it backfired as badly as Custer's tactics at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Of course, had it come off he would have been a tactical genius. He would have been startling, bold or courageous. Instead he ended up with egg on his face, as did almost all the players who suddenly lost the fighting spirit they have shown to such great effect in our recent run. We deserved to lose, but not by 3-0. Even then two of the goals came directly from midfield giveaways. I think we managed maybe two attempts on goal and that was it. We never looked likely except for ten-fifteen minutes in the first half when we had a string of corners that came to nothing. The substitutions came far too late to make much difference.
There's no point having a go at individual players, though we could. It would be too easy. The fact is Bainsey was the only one to get anywhere near his usual form, Felli to a lesser extent. The rest ought to have a long hard word with themselves. Hence the enemy got revenge for our 3-0 mauling of them a few years ago. Swings and roundabouts, only this time it was us who fell off.
Afterwards, I drove Plewsy to a drop at his mother's. On the way, he said, "Mick, you know those lucky kecks of yours?"
"Yes?" I asked.
"Well, tonight they were on back to fuckn front."
I think he was right.

Joan & Dave S – Calgary, AB | South Africa, Namibia, Victoria Falls & Botswana | May 2017
Our trip to Africa arranged by Jen Lubey of Heritage Safaris was great, it exceeded our expectations. We had attended a couple of presentations on Africa when an acquaintance recommended to us to contact Jen Lubey, who had arranged an Africa trip for them and was arranging another Africa trip for them in 2016. We contacted Jen who worked with us to arrange a Cape Town – Namibia- Victoria Falls – Botswana – Johannesburg tour for May 2016. Due to health problems we were unable to go in 2016 but Jen was able to arrange for our deposits to be held to May – June 2017. The tours and accommodation for this trip were excellent. The guides were entertaining, accommodating and had a wealth of knowledge as they were able to answer any questions we had throughout a day. We thoroughly enjoyed our African experience. Thank you Jen for making this so memorable.

CNN contributor S.E. Cupp believes neither Donald Trump nor Ben Carson are qualified to be president.
In a Thursday appearance on the network's "At This Hour" program, Cupp blasted Trump for slamming Carly Fiorina's looks, saying it was "indefensible" and "disgusting" to imply that Fiorina is ugly. Cupp added that "we should all universally agree" that such comments "have no place in the political process."
She also criticized Trump for claiming that renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson was just an "okay doctor." Cupp said she had a lot of criticisms of Carson but his "neurosurgeon skills probably aren't among them." Trump fired back at Carson after Carson questioned Trump's faith on Wednesday.
Cupp said these recent attacks are "beneath the dignity" of the office of the president, but, echoing the thoughts of many establishment Republicans, Cupp said the "good news" is that "I hope that Donald Trump and Ben Carson end up sort of cannibalizing each other because frankly neither of them are qualified to be president."
CNN contributor Jeffrey Lord pointed out that "people have a serious problem with political correctness," and he noted Trump's poll numbers went up 13 percentage points with women voters after his back and forth with Fox News's Megyn Kelly.
Trump and Carson, both of whom are non-politicians running in an election cycle in which the electorate is fed up with establishment politicians, are the two candidates who have been resonating the most with GOP primary voters. In CNN/ORC's most recent poll, Trump leads with 32%, followed by Carson with 19%. And the two of them take the top spots and majority of votes in nearly every national and state poll, much to the chagrin of those like Cupp and GOP establishment fanboys and fangirls of candidates like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Cupp did concede, though, that Trump's message of "winning" was a "very good" one and she hoped that "some of the other Republican candidates would take that up." She noted that Trump's message resonates because President Barack Obama has led from behind at home and abroad for eight years and there is "this sense of resignation from our political leaders."

Cash Flow – Running at a loss: what to do next
Most people starting up a business need to allow for a period when they have more money going out than coming in. If you have a loan, it's a good idea to keep an eye on your business plan to see whether you've allowed for a period of running at a loss and have a realistic amount of capital to keep you going through that period.
If your plans weren't realistic enough or you've been hit by an unexpected downturn, you may have to consider raising further finance. Your bank manager will be looking at your cash flow forecast for three to six months ahead, to run reality checks on the kind of costs you face. Plot this out before the loan interview.
Check, check, check
|Check your financial records and make sure they are accurate and set up so that it is easy to keep track of income and expenses
|Are your bank accounts set up so that your business bank account is only used solely for the business and there's no bleed through to personal expenses?
|Do you have a separate account to put aside taxes and levies?
|Check your invoicing. Are you on top of your debtors, invoicing work on completion and chasing up late payers?
|What does your budget look like? Have you set one and are you on track with it?
|Take a look at your expenses. Are there any you can trim? Is it possible to approach your creditors and set up time payment arrangements?
Professional business advisors – who can help?
Lastly, are you trying to do all of this yourself? We understand that when cash flow is hard, calling on a professional advisor might seem like a luxury you can't afford right now. However, sometimes you can't afford not to. If anything described above rings alarm bells but you just don't know how to fix it, please let us know. We are a team of helpful, experienced Warkworth accountants and we can help you put together a plan of action.

text: What are floaters? 25 May 2017News Seeing floaters in your eyes can be a little alarming, especially if you've never noticed them before; so how do you know if this is normal or a sign of an underlying problem? What are floaters? Floaters are usually described as black or semi-transparent small spots or hairs that drift across your vision. If you have had them for years your brain becomes very good at ignoring them, and you may only notice them on bright days or when looking at a light surface. Because of this, they rarely cause problems with your vision. What causes them? Floaters are small pieces of debris within the vitreous (jelly) inside your eye which cast shadows on the light sensitive layer (retina) at the back of your eye. There are several possible causes of floaters; most commonly they are caused by changes in structure to the vitreous which occur naturally with age. The vitreous shrinks and becomes more liquified throughout life. This process can lead to clumps of gel which is what we see as floaters. However, floaters can occasionally be a sign of a more serious eye disease such as retinal damage, which can be sight threatening if not treat quickly. Our Advice If you notice any new floaters or changes to the ones that you currently have, you must have your eyes checked the same day, either by an Optometrist or by Eye Casualty. This is to ensure that your eyes are healthy and there are no signs of any eye disease which could be sight threatening.

CONTINENTS divide them, music unites them.
Children from Zimbabwe who have been orphaned by Aids joined youngsters from Moss Side and Hulme to share their experiences.
The African children brought art, traditional costumes and instruments with them to give their new English friends a flavour of their culture - and to convey a sense of the effect of HIV in their lives.
The highlight of the trip was a dramatic performance at the Zion Art Centre in Hulme where they put on an amazing show of dance and music.
The children all come from Mbuya Nehanda Children''s Home in Zimbabwe.
One of them, 14-year-old Progress Mutefura said she would remember the trip for the rest of her life.
"It has been wonderful to spend time meeting and playing with Manchester children,'''' she said.
"I hope they will be able to come to Zimbabwe so they can see our home''''.
The show was developed by Clayton Ndlovu, who teaches at the Zimbabwe College of Music in Harare.
"What we have tried to do is to empower the kids through the performing arts'''' he said.
"The striking thing about this whole project is how much the children have put their own stories into the work they have produced. They show courage and creativity.''''
The visit was part of Transmission, a project developed by LIME, Manchester''s leading organisation promoting arts and health.
More than 100 young people from both countries have been involved in visual arts and music workshops.
LIME''s director Brian Chapman said: "This is one of our most ambitious projects and part of what we hope will be a long-term international collaboration between youngsters in Manchester and the Children''s Home in Mbuya Nehanda.
"The children have experienced a true spirit of Commonwealth during their stay here in Manchester and so many school children have wanted to share in what they have achieved.''''
The show was set within the Transmission International Exhibition of Contemporary Art which is currently showing at the Zion Centre.
Some of Manchester and Zimbabwe''s top artists have contributed pieces which hang side by side with heartbreaking paintings of the effects of Aids by the Zimbabwe children.
The exhibition will also be on show in Manchester''s town hall during the Commonwealth Games.
The exhibition''s curator Rafael Chikukwa said: "What these children have come up with is a powerful statement. They have created paintings which you would believe had been drawn by professional artists but which are also incredibly personal.''''

Back in the day (pre-internet times), a friend gave me a book of quotes. Though I no longer have the book, the above quote has stuck with me. Very few can say they've never looked on a particular quality in a person and were imbued with a sense of inspiration or longing to possess that "excellence" for ourselves.
Quite recently, I had the opportunity to spend a bit of time with someone I admire greatly. Whether it's his wit, his intelligence, his thighs (oh dear God help me), or his sense of self.... I couldn't help but come away with the feeling that I want to be more like THAT. Very "Voltaire" in more ways than one. I want to be that educated, funny, and self assured. The thighs... well I'll leave those to him, but I may say screw the grinding knees and do more lunges and squats.
At the same time I found some things about myself that I embraced even more. I am open, caring, and resilient. Those are things that although at times I wish I were more reserved about, I won't ever change. I smile easily and genuinely and I long to give affection even more than I long for it. And while it will never be businesslike, you can tell how I feel by the look on my face. The people I love never have to wonder how I feel about them.
Each day should be about finding the beauty in others, in your surroundings, and in yourself. Therein lies a true balance.

Hey, i was about to purchase the metal option, but the price with shipping would have been nearly $500 more...If you are willing to work on the cost there, I might upgrade. I also was considering getting embellishments, but guessing you don't do that on posters. Contact me if you are willing to work on the pricing. Otherwise I am stoked...this is my birthday present to myself.
I think this is basically about choosing to be alone. Artists , writers, and many others must learn to live with this choice.
I began painting seriously after retiring. I currently exhibit abstracts, but my roots are in landscape painting. I tend to float between the two. I work mainly in acrylics but often include other media. I have recently added digital components to my work. I believe that " everything" is a self portrait. I currently exhibit in Olympia,WA . @Dale Witherow 2016

Spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating and life changing injuries a person can sustain, according to the World Health Organisation. It can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time, and there are no meaningful therapies for those with spinal cord injury.
At best, it fundamentally impacts quality of life, with a $5 million average lifetime cost of care, and premature death is inevitable. At worst, in the developing world, people die within 3 years of injury.
At the Mark Pollock Trust, we believe we can cure spinal cord injury in our lifetime. To do it we are disrupting the current academic research model and catalysing collaborations that have never been done before.
How can we cure spinal cord injury in our lifetime?
Currently, leading scientists spend a tiny fraction of their time – less than 20% – focusing directly on core research activities. That means that over 80% of their time is spent writing grants to secure funding to keep their lab afloat, teaching, supervising, administration duties, reviewing other scientists' articles; and traveling to conferences.
The Mark Pollock Trust disrupts the academic system, removing these time-wasting factors from scientists' work weeks. Therefore, our support will expand the time focused on their research, bringing therapies to the clinic and the people who need them.
It is broadly accepted that the cure for SCI will be a cocktail of scientific and technological interventions created across multiple disciplines and institutions. Yet, no dedicated support structure exists for these groups to convene and collaborate. Taking a strategic view of the field, we can fix this and exponentially improve the way in which research is done worldwide.
The Mark Pollock Trust works to systematically support our partners to forge connections and break through silos across disciplines and institutions. As well as expanding time for them to invest in their own research, they will have more time to create and strengthen their networks, catalysing collaborations across disciplines around the world.
Mark Pollock Trust vision
Up to this point in history it has proven to be impossible to find a cure for spinal cord injury. But we believe we can change that if enough of the right people have the will to make it happen.
So, it is the Mark Pollock Trust's mission to find and connect those people worldwide to fast track a cure for spinal cord injury.
To fund our ongoing academic programme we are raising $ 2 million to build a hub of experts to support scientists working in this field to expand the time they spend in the lab, and collaborate across disciplines around the world.

Facts you may not know about Michelle Phan
Over eight million subscribers. More than one billion views. A company valued at $500 million. A net worth reaching $50 million. Pretty amazing numbers, right? At just 30 years old, Michelle Phan has achieved the ultimate success. And to think, it all started with just her YouTube page, sharing beauty tips with viewers.
Phan was a success almost as soon as she got started, with her tenth video reaching one hundred thousand views. She continues to post videos on YouTube, but has kicked off many other business ventures since starting her page in 2007. As she tells her viewers on her page, "I live, I love, I teach, but most importantly I learn." There is much to also learn when it comes to Michelle Phan and her success story.

On Friday, the Los Angeles Ethics Commission announced that it has formally charged retired LAPD Sergeant Jim Parker, who detained Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts and her boyfriend for lewd behavior last year.
Parker faces two counts of violating city ethics rules for leaking audio from the exchange to the media.
The Los Angeles Times notes that Parker could face a total of $10,000 in fines for each violation.
Parker had detained Watts and her boyfriend, Brian James Lucas, on September 11, 2014 after employees and passers-by reported that the couple were having sex in a parked car in a nearby parking lot.
Watts had accused Parker of being racist and that he had briefly detained them because she is black and her boyfriend is white. Watts refused to present ID verification when asked for it, which is when she was detained. Parker had released the audio tapes to clear himself of such allegations. Watts was later encouraged to apologize to Parker by black activists who said she "cried wolf" by falsely accusing Parker of being a racist.
Watts was subsequently ordered to issue a letter of apology by a Los Angeles judge who found it to be "insincere" and ordered her and her boyfriend to 15 days of community labor and two years of probation.
This past June, Parker retired after 26 years of service in the police department. His decision was predicated on the fact that he wished to avoid answering to accusations of insubordination for speaking to the media without permission.
Parker's attorney, Larry Hanna, reportedly told the Times last month that in over 20 years of practicing law, he had "never, ever seen" an ethics violation investigation targeting an LAPD officer, while noting that other officers have made recordings available to the public in the past without facing ethics violations charges. "For some reason, they're being very vindictive against this officer," Hanna said.
The Times also referred to the decision to file a complaint against Parker as "highly unusual" considering ethics violations listed on the City Ethics Commission website–dating back to 1993–often involve campaign finance rules.
A public evidentiary hearing will reportedly take place next, followed by an administrative hearing to determine what, if any, punishment Parker should face. Those dates have not yet been set.

Birding in Western Australia
In another life, I was a sometime travel writer. What follows is an article I had published in The West Australian newspaper a while ago on birding in Western Australia
In Australia, birds are everywhere. Flitting in and out of the wattle trees, hopping across your lawn, hanging out in the eucalyptus trees or stealing your beachside chips. Even the Queen couldn't help but notice them. I heard that when she stayed in Canberra she commented on the tremendous 'noise' made by a nearby flock of corellas. Noisy they may be, but for us Aussies they represent the quintessential sound of the Australian bush.
Australia has over 810 species of birds, of which up to 45% are endemic (meaning that they are not found naturally anywhere else). That is more than almost any other country in the world. It is no wonder that it is a popular destination for bird watchers from overseas. South-western Australia has its share of endemic species such as Carnaby's black-cockatoo, red-winged fairy-wren, red-eared firetail and the appropriately named noisy scrub-bird.
We have all seen a galah and a splendid fairy-wren, but have you ever noticed the shimmering green and orange of a rainbow bee-eater, the spotted head of a spotted pardalote or the iridescent blue of a sacred kingfisher? When you do, the excitement is addictive.
Unsurprisingly, more and more people are turning to birding (or 'twitching') as a recreational pastime that greatly enriches their travels around this great State of ours. After all, in how many places in the world are the birds in the north of the state completely different to those in the south?
Once you start looking for birds, it is difficult to stop. You will see shadows in every tree and investigate every new 'tweet' that you hear. Birding soon becomes a passion. With such a unique and diverse range of avian delights on your doorstep, it would be a shame not to enjoy them. All you need is a watchful eye, a good bird book, some binoculars and a love of the outdoors.
There are infinite ways to 'bird' in WA.
In the metropolitan area we are blessed with beautiful walkways teeming with bird life. At Herdsman Lake a well-maintained track meanders along the lakeside through a paperbark forest and over swamp lands, offering a diversity of habitat and birdlife such as rufous whistlers, glossy ibis, little grassbirds, great crested grebes and nankeen night-herons. Picnic areas at parks such as Bold Park and Kings Park make it easy for a spot of twitching to become part of a family day out. Alternatively you can take a walk around Joondalup Lake. At sunset the sky is a spill of pink, purple and soft grey. Last time I was there I saw, sitting atop bare tree trunks in the lake, a swamp harrier, a troop of corellas, a white-faced heron and some swamphens. It was stunning.
To the north, those with an interest in shorebirds cannot miss Broome Bird Observatory (BBO). BBO, located in Roebuck Bay, 25 kms south of Broome, was established in 1988 as a research and education facility by Birds Australia, Australia's peak scientific and recreational birding organisation. Roebuck Bay and 80 Mile Beach are said to have more than 800,000 birds visit annually. They are the most important shorebird sites in Australia.
The peak migration period is from late March to late April. During this period you may be lucky enough to see C3. C3, the name given to it by researchers, is a bar-tailed godwit. In March 2008 she was tagged in Roebuck Bay and imbedded with a satellite tracking device. When C3 returned from her travels at the end of August, researches found that she had covered more than 20,000kms on her round trip to the northern summer breeding grounds in Siberia. This is a remarkable feat for an animal that weighs less than ½ kg.
Even outside the peak migration period you can see many thousands of shorebirds, including black-winged stilts, gull-billed terns, bar-tailed godwits and great knots.
In the east Kimberley, be sure to visit waterholes early in the morning. You may be lucky enough to come across a flock of gouldian finches, budgerigars, varied lorikeets, red-winged parrots or northern rosellas. You should also keep an eye out for the superb spinifex pigeon which, with its ochre-orange body and masked eyes, looks like a 'pigeon superhero'.
To the south, the Stirling Ranges are a treasury of birding delights. Birders congregate in the Stirling Range Retreat, looking for western yellow robins, Australian owlet-nightjars, and crested shrike-tits. Flocks of elegant parrots can often be seen feeding nervously on the road-side.
At Cheyne Beach in the Waychincup National Park (65km east of Albany) you may see what are known as the "Big 3" endemic birds of south-western Australia – the western bristlebird, noisy scrub-bird and the western whipbird. The critically endangered western ground parrot has also been spotted here.
Further south east, hugging the coast 50km south of Cocklebiddy, is Eyre Bird Observatory. This observatory, established in 1978, is a sanctuary for up to 250 species of native birds in the area, including the elusive malleefowl, chestnut quail-thrush and Major Mitchell's cockatoo. It is an invaluable resource for research and conservation. It is testament to the remarkable work done by Birds Australia, most of which is done by volunteers.
Information about the top birding sites in Western Australia is available through Birdlife Australia Western Australia (BAWA). At its local office in Perry Lakes, you will find a variety of pamphlets and bird books. In addition to being very approachable people who are passionate about their birds, the BAWA volunteers conduct bird identification workshops and take regular free bird walking tours around the city's best birding sites.

I Love Manchester
Homity Pie, Snowflakes And Big Chops – The Albert Square Chop House Reviewed
'The Albert Square Chop House is, as you would expect in Albert's Square. It's the former Memorial Hall and is a lovely Victorian building.
The inside, however is a departure to the tiled, by-gone decor of the other chop houses, this is light and modern, with an upstairs bar area (where they do a bar menu as well) that could be anything from All Bar One to the Slug and Lettuce.'
'Sometimes though, new and interesting things come up and I feel compelled to visit, eat, drink, catch up with the munching Manchester massive and have a jolly good nosey. This is how I ended up at the new Albert Square Chop House. I say new, but this was so freshly minted they were still tacking the red carpet onto the front steps and adding pictures to the wall when we turned up.'
Taste of Manchester
The Albert Square Chop House opens opposite Town Hall
'Following a huge £3.5m refit, The Albert Square Chop House opened last week in the Grade-II listed Memorial Hall building across Manchester's civic square from the Town Hall.'
Good Gobble
'Albert Square Chop House is a British restaurant. Thinking about it I should probably rephrase that. Albert Square Chop House is a BRITISH restaurant. There is no doubt about this, the menu from top to bottom is British (and where possible of the North West local variety).
The location and building are a great start. What a spot right on Albert Square with some grand steps and an elegant arch framing the entrance to the restaurant. It is very nice to arrive in to the upstairs bar as straight away you are hit with the vibrant atmosphere.'
Albert Square Chop House Review
'When Manchester Confidential gave us the chance to visit the Albert Square Chop House we jumped at it, having heard and read good things already. Having already been to Sam's Chop House a few years back, with the best corned-beef hash I've ever had, I was hopeful of something good! Seated in the comfiest of booth sofas, you just wanted to sink into them, our fantastic waiter for the evening, Carlos, suggested he would pick wines for us throughout the evening and match them to our individual dishes. A lovely touch, not offered enough in restaurants, so we happily accepted.'

Review: Albert Square Chophouse
'I am a big fan of the Chophouse chain in Manchester. Their corned beef hash topped with crispy bacon and a runny poached egg is one of my favourite meals. I was expecting similarly huge and hearty portions on a recent visit to Albert Square Chophouse* but this place has a more refined edge to it. Decorated with images of famous Mancunians, we were in great company when we were shown to our table.'
Spotted by Locals
Albert Square Chop House – Fancy a steak?
'There are multiple menus to suit different times, days and even moods. The bar is more traditional British food and you must always have a bowl of Manchester side salad (or chips to everyone). Downstairs is more of a fine dining venue which you would need to book a table for. The steak menu is phenomenal, and this is coming from someone who isn't really turned on by steak.'
The Albert Square Chop House, Manchester
'The Albert Square Chop House is located in the 150 year old, iconic, Memorial Hall building on Albert Square overlooking the town hall. It was apparently neglected for a decade but if that's the case they've done an excellent job restoring it. Managing to maintain it's Venetian Gothic charm whilst adding a modern post-industrial twist. There's a bar area upstairs with the main restaurant downstairs where we were seated in one of the comfortable booths with a great view of the open kitchen.'

The Albert Square Chop House: Carlos the Charming Sommelier Enlightens Ignorant but Willing-to-Learn Wino
'the newest addition to the Manchester Chop House family on Albert Square is keen to publicise the excellent sommelier service it offers to all diners. We were equally keen to try it when invited to do so by Manchester Confidential, as we are both big fans of the original Chop Houses – Sam's in particular – with their emphasis on superlative pub classics and remarkably sensible portion size. However, if we were expecting more of the same from The Albert Square Chop House (we were) then we were wrong – this airy new reinvention of the classic 1866 Memorial Hall is streets away from the warm, dark corners offered by its more established brethren (and completely unrecognisable from its last incarnation, when it was the Square Albert Pub).

Cheese and Wine with Old Amsterdam and Albert's Chop House: Christmas Comes Early to Manchester
'I am sorry. I have let you all down, and you can rest assured that, since Tuesday night, I've been sitting here quietly, thinking about what I've done. For since Tuesday night, I have been feeling festive, despite it barely being mid-October.
The finger of blame must point squarely at the cheese and wine matching event I attended last week, hosted by the dream team of Chris Chisnall of Bradbury Cheese and George Bergier, sommelier extraordinaire from Albert's Chop House.'

Why it is Important to Treat People with Respect
I recently wrote an article about the importance of respect in teams and in relationships. In that article I discussed the importance of respect between what are essentially equals. Teams are made up by peers, which are equals. Much of our relationships however are not with equals. I recently got a request to discuss the issue of respect towards lower working class people. Why should we respect people that have a lower socio-economic standing than ourselves?
The short answer is that we should respect them because they are fellow human beings but I want to say more about this.
If we wanted to know who deserves respect and who does not deserve respect we must know what makes a person respect worthy. Is it by occupying a particular position in a social hierarchy that makes a person respect worthy? Does someone become respect worthy only once they have earned a large amount of money? Is respect only appropriate when a person has become famous? Or does someone need to have achieved lots of important stuff to be worthy of respect?
I think the answer to all of these questions is an obvious "no" because there are many people I respect that have not achieved any of the above. The first thing that we should bear in mind about these things like earning a large amount of money is that they are always dependent on many things other than the person's own personal achievement. There is a large degree of luck or good fortune that sits between people at the top and people at the bottom. If I was born to different parents in a rural township, my prospects would have been very different from what they are now. I am not responsible for choosing any of the gifts I was born with so I cannot take credit. How then can I claim that I am more worthy of respect than a less well off person when it is largely happenstance that separates us?
Treat people with respect because they have the potential for good character
One thing that I do think makes a big difference to the respect worthiness of a person is the quality of their character. But character is not about what you have or what challenges life hands to you, but rather with what you make of what you have and how you respond to the challenges that face you. Good character, the thing that makes someone truly respect worthy, can be found in the lowest segments of society and in the highest. And, you can't tell at face value. The person shining your shoes in the morning might have a golden character and you will probably never know.
So, your demeanor should always be respectful, no matter who you are interacting with. This should even be the case with people who have a tarnished character. When you disrespect someone you are saying to them that they have diminished value. Disrespect is about demeaning another. When you do that to a person you are contributing to them realising the worst in themselves.
We all represent the potentiality for noble behaviour and the potentiality for base behaviour. When you treat people with respect, you recognise and affirm their potential for noble/good character and so you help them to realise the best in themselves. The effects of this on societies can be dramatic. I believe much of the social ills, particularly in my native South Africa, can be traced back to systematic and institutionalized disrespect. Be careful not to treat someone as though they have no value and cannot demonstrate goodness. They might just believe that the way you treat them is their truth, and act accordingly.

"Summertime, and the livin' is easy..." Many of you may recognize this as the opening line to the classic song "Summertime" by Ella Fitzgerald. The song's slow and languid tempo perfectly depicts the mood of those hot lazy days of summer but living isn't always easy. Here in Connecticut we've experienced a brutal heatwave that has made living anything BUT easy! The local new stations are reporting that although it is not mandatory, we should conserve our water usage due to the lack of rain and dry conditions.
So as I keep cool by staying indoors, I have to be extra creative to come up with some new photos. I decided to dabble with the theme of the heat, water conservation and keeping cool during this heatwave. After looking around the house for some ideas and coming up empty, I suddenly thought of using a water faucet and a drop of water. Photographers and other creative artists will often have a fully realized vision in their mind as to what they want their finished project to look like and this was no different. Once you have your final vision in your mind, the hard part is over, now all you have to do is take the necessary steps to make that vision a reality.
The faucet you see here is in the kitchen and for the blue background I used a hard plastic lid that fits on top of a storage box. The cool blue color is a stark contrast to the warm weather we are experiencing but it also makes the stainless steel and the water drop stand out in the photo. To capture the water drop, I turned on the faucet slightly and had to be perfectly timed to capture the drop at the right moment. An off-camera flash created a beautiful star highlight on the water drop that helps to add some visual interest. Water is essential to us, we need it for our survival. As we are in the midst of conserving our water resources, I hope that this single water drop will remind us of the delicate balance we have with nature and how we must preserve water now and for future generations.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Cassatt resumed her winning ways by going gate to wire in the $102,300 She's All In Handicap for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and upward.
The 4-year-old gray daughter of Tapit, out of the Giant's Causeway mare, Justenufftime, has now won 7 of 12 lifetime starts. Her race winnings of $60,000 for owner Fox Hill Farms, Inc. of Lexington, Ky. has pushed her lifetime earnings to $665,233. She covered the one mile & 70 yard distance in 1:42.96 over a main track rated sloppy.
Winning jockey Ramon Vazquez put her on the lead from the start and controlled the pace throughout. "I sent her to the lead. She's a nice filly, loves to go to the lead and fight with the other horses," said Vazquez.
Winning trainer Larry Jones gave much credit for the win to the jockey, "Ramon just sat so well. I knew his chilly hands would probably suit this filly really well and he did great."
Her previous start was a disappointing fifth versus allowance company at Keeneland in October. "We waited all summer trying to get her back and healthy and going again. After the Keeneland race it looked like 'Oh geez, I hope she needed it.' Apparently she did, she's back," said Jones.
Cassatt was the second-choice in the wagering at 8-5 odds and paid $5.60 to win, $3.80 to place and $2.20 to show. She held off the serious challenge of Ribbon Of Darkness, who closed up the rail to lose by a neck and pay $5.80 to place and $3 to show. Savings Account, the beaten even-money favorite, stalked and made a tepid bid to finish third and pay $2.40 to show.
Cassatt was bred in Kentucky by Mt. Brilliant Farm.
The win for Vazquez was one of his three wins on the day, which enabled him to finish in a tie for the leading jockey title with C.J. McMahon. Both riders finished the season with 87 wins.
Vazquez won the Remington Park leading jockey title in both 2013 and 2014. This was the first year that McMahon rode at Remington Park.
Open for casino gaming and simulcast racing, Remington Park features the Bricktown Brewery on the casino floor. Admission, general parking and valet parking are always free at Remington Park.
Tracked by over 88,000 fans on Facebook and 6,700 Twitter followers, Remington Park is Oklahoma City's only Racetrack & Casino and is located at the junction of Interstates 35 & 44, in the heart of the Oklahoma City Adventure District.

More than ever before, children need playspaces that encourage large muscle movement. Childhood obesity is on the rise, schools are eliminating recess, and children's schedules are as tightly packed as adults'. Yet experts maintain that unstructured large muscle activities are critical. Children need to exercise their bodies and move freely through their environments. Children also need space to play games involving running, jumping, sliding, swinging, and climbing.
In big muscle activities, children develop both gross and fine motor skills. They refine their coordination and balance when they kick and throw balls, roll down the hill, and play tag. Cross-lateral movements (i.e. right arm to left leg) help children learn to read and write.
Children also develop social and cognitive skills during large muscle play by employing their imaginations to invent scenarios and rules. When they master games, they feel confident and proud. They negotiate relationships, experience the importance of working in teams, and develop friendships when they play large muscle games together.
There are many ways to include large muscle play in your playspace, even if your actual area is small. Try to set aside at least one open space for running, jumping, rolling, and game playing. Children exercise large muscles on elevated structures, too, when they run across the ramps and platforms. Include children with disabilities by using accessible surfaces, clear signs, and distinct colors.
Manufacturers make a variety of equipment and toys for both outdoor and indoor playspaces. For outdoor playspaces, get children moving with hanging rings and bars, balance beams, and climbing walls. Inside, include a few jumping ropes and bouncing balls. It's lots of fun to design an obstacle course with hula hoops and plastic cones!
