This Home Buyers Survey in London observed a mid terraced house in Greenford, which is estimated to have been built around 1930.
Desirable location
One of the main benefits of this property's location is that it is situated just ½ mile from the London Underground station of Sudbury Hill. The local area also offers a range of shopping facilities and is in close proximity to Wembley and Northolt.
One serious defect
This London survey found only one major defect that would require the buyer to take urgent action:
- The framework of the garage has corroded and will need to be renovated.
- The match boarded door on the right of the garage is difficult to open and needs to be adjusted.
- The opening mechanism of the garage is particularly difficult to use and cannot be opened smoothly.
- It is likely that the guttering and the roof of the garage contain asbestos. The surveyor recommends that a specialist inspects the area and offer any recommendations.
Defects requiring non-urgent action
- The Home Buyers Survey found that the roof was in a reasonable condition overall. However, the presence of moss growth on the right side of the front area of the roof was a cause for concern.
- Knobs were also found beneath the carpet towards the hallway. These require removal to ensure that the floor is level.
- The surveyor was also unable to test the shower in the bathroom because the shower setting wasn't functioning.
Risks that need to be alleviated:
The buyer should take note of these issues:
- The floor of the hallway is uneven and repairs to this could be expensive. The garage side door fails to close properly, which could lead to dampness on the inside.
- The property also features staircase treads that are either damaged or loose, which will need to be repaired.

Back to normal after yesterday's political rant, my afternoon beach run did get done. It's still crazy hot, imagine! The seawall I run on is about 10' wide & white cement. It soaks up the sun all day so that by the time I get there it's hot enough that I think it could melt the soles of my shoes if I stood still long enough. The breeze felt like the furnace some friends of mine used for glass blowing.
I've been having some problems w/ pain in my shins, particularly my right. It goes away after about 2 miles but at times has been bad enough that I've considered stopping. I am also having an issue w/ my left shoe which has suddenly become too small! Don't know how the hell that happened. Anyway, I think this afternoon will involve some shoe shopping.

Money well spent in the end but hindsight the library would have been so much easier, not to mention closer.
And in hindsight to that comment, I just remembered that in high school there were 3 bookstores all a block or two away from each other, which have since closed, so I kind of makes sense that I would say that now.

Part 1 was here; general references still useful http://www.network54.com/Forum/78440/message/1158403418/
For chronos, this page is the natural starting point http://adenoma.sites.uol.com.br/61xx-70xx-english.html
No pictures in the English version but the Brazilian version has pictures; http://adenoma.sites.uol.com.br/61xx-70xx.html
Like Randalls article in the previous post, this means I can more or less leave out the technical details so let us start off with a bit of history. I started collecting watches last year after inheriting some pocket watches from my great great grandfather who was a watch maker and watch collector. I got fascinated by the technical aspects and due to limited funds, the most accessible and technically interesting watches were Russian chronos like this;
I spent a few months collecting Russian watches but there is a very limited amount of information and spare parts about Russian watches. When the info and discussions in the limited number of Russian watch forums started to come around for the third and fourth times I needed to find something else to collect. The neverending praise for Seiko at the PMWF started me on Seikos but unfortunately not on SCWF from the beginning. I therefore started off my collection with two purchases from one of the Singapore cobblers. You know how it is (at least if you admit it), cheap prices, good feedback and I could not recognise an original Seiko from a three dollar bill.
A quick read had put me on to 6138s and 6139s. I had also heard about Speedtimers so I got these two. Not my proudest moment but both of them actually work.
Pepsis also seemed to be a popular watch so in comes a Pepsi.
I had now learnt a bit more so this one I did some research for authenticity. It has some nicks and scratches but a good bezel and a nice deep yellow colour. But now, into the picture comes SCWF and SCTF. I read and I listen and I learn.
My first really researched watch was a 7015-6010 also known as a TimeSonar. TimeSonars come as 7015 and 7018 calibers (There is also a 2XXX called TimeSonar) but AFAIK that does not have a see through caseback. The 7015 is a flyback chrono without subdial and has three dial versions (beige, grey and black, first two translucent). I think this is a great looking watch and is not that uncommon on ebay. Fair ones are USD 175-225. Add at least another USD 50 if you want a non scratched caseback. Below some good posts from Don and petew regarding 701Xs and others.
Moving on one notch you get to the 7016 with the two hand subdial. I think that the round one is a bit more rare than the square with the "Monaco" version the most common (some colour combinations however quite rare). An interesting sub-version of the round one is the 1974 Asian Games white dial.
Also a great watch from a technical perspective. There are not very many two hand subdials in the market and Seiko usually says that theirs was the first. The square one is a SCTF purchase from a well known Dutch-based cyclist (and yes, he told me that hands were not original). Lot of posts on the 7016 in the archive so I will not summarize them. It is also interesting how the square 7016 design still tends to be very modern. It is very similar to my new Casio.
Rounding things out, only a few 6139s to go. First, SCTF and the Dutch-based cyclist strikes again with a 6139-7070 from 1975.
I think this is one of the classic Seiko designs (even if it has borrowed a few clues from other watches). Sporty but yet understated and a nice clean design. I manage to wear it with suits as well as casual.
Final watch a Speedtimer 6139-8050. It breaches one of my collection limitations (no divers, no fivers), but no rule without exceptions. For some reason, Seikos green dials often turn out better than the other colours and this watch was so cheap I could not skip it.
At the moment, my interest has moved away a bit from chronos but they are still among Seikos best technical achievements so this is probably only a momentary thing.

By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK — Traders cleaned up in a hurry in Dish Network (DISH) on Friday.
OptionMonster's tracking systems detected unusual activity on Friday as traders snapped up the September 48.50 calls for 35 cents. There was no open interest in the strike before the options hit, so new money was clearly put to work on the long side. More than 6,500 of the contracts traded by the end of the session.
These calls lock in the price where shares can be purchased in the satellite-television company, letting investors cheaply position for a rally and generate leverage. And that's exactly what happened on Friday because those calls doubled to 70 cents as the stock only inched higher. Dish shares closed Friday up 1.62% to $47.72, continuing a nice uptrend in place since April. It's noteworthy that the traders bought September options because they had barely a week to perform before expiring. Sometimes, those are among the best trades uncovered by OptionMonster because such short-term positions force discipline not to overpay and to take the profits when the come. More than 15,500 contracts traded in the session, with calls outnumbering puts by a bullish 8-to-1 ratio. Russell has no positions in DISH.

christianz1969/Flickr Americans lately have been transferring their love of fast-casual restaurant food to stocks of companies in the segment. Late last month, "better burger" specialist The Habit Restaurants (HABT) launched an initial public offering that doubled in price within hours of hitting the market. Like a meal from one of The Habit's more traditional fast-food rivals, though, the feeling of satisfaction didn't last: The shares started to drop after the initial euphoria. But that isn't stopping other fast-casual operators from listing on the exchange. They're finding, though, what works in the kitchen isn't necessarily successful on the market. IPOh Yes IPOs of fast-casual chain operators are coming to the market faster than you can get a refill at a soda machine. This year alone has seen the market debut not only of The Habit, but also the Mediterranean-flavored Zoe's Kitchen (ZOES) and West Coast chicken griller El Pollo Loco Holdings (LOCO), among others. Like The Habit, the stocks of the latter two saw impressive first-day rises (although they didn't pop quite as high as those of the burger purveyor). Why the excitement? Some of it can certainly be ascribed to the IPO market itself, which has had a frothy year. As of this writing, 262 companies have gone public, a 25 percent rise over the same period of 2013. In terms of total proceeds from IPOs, 2014 is set to be the best year for at least the past decade. Building a Better Burrito But likely a bigger factor is that the fast-casual segment has one great model that investors are hoping the newcomers can at least partially replicate — Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG). Since going public in 2006, the stock of the now-ubiquitous chain has gone through the roof. Its IPO was priced at $22 a share and doubled in its first day of trading. Since then, its shares have ballooned — at the moment, they trade at nearly $660, for a hard-to-believe 2,900-plus-percent rise from the issue price. It's not t

But within the opportunity lies a conundrum: There is no other pure retail coffee competitor anywhere near the size of Starbucks to which it can be compared. The company competes with quick service restaurants like McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) at breakfast, fast-casual restaurants such as Panera Bread (NASDAQ: PNRA ) at lunch, and local coffee chains and independent coffee houses during other dayparts.
- [By Andrés Cardenal]
Looking at P/E ratios over the last five years, Chipotle has usually looked more "expensive" than other restaurant chains, be it traditional fast-food giants like McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) and Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM ) or more dynamic growth players such as Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD ) and Panera Bread (NASDAQ: PNRA ) .

Despite the economic recession, US remained one of the world's prevailing countries in the worldwide quick service restaurant market. The US fast food industry is anticipated to grow by 4% through 2014. The business sector is governed by increasing youthful populace and growing working class with higher expenditure capacity. Various restaurants are now focusing of various changes to stay ahead of their competitors. Most common changes that we notice is menu, ordering system (online), healthy food, etc. Panera Bread (PNRA) is one such restaurant, which is focusing on its food menu for more health conscious customers by knocking off various artificial additives in the food menu.

Bradley C. Bower/Bloomberg/Getty Images In any given week, some stocks are sure to shoot up, and others will plummet. The big gainers inspire us to keep investing. The presence of the decliners keeps our greed in check while reminding us about the risks of the equity markets. Let's go over some of last week's best and worst performers. Avanir Pharmaceuticals (AVNR) — Up 64 percent last week Last week's biggest gainer was Avanir Pharmaceuticals. The volatile biotech soared after revealing favorable clinical trials data on its AVP-923 drug candidate that treats agitation associated with Alzheimer's. This is a major hurdle cleared on the long path to gaining regulatory approval, but this is just the second of three clinical trial phases that Avanir needs to shine through to get its treatment on the market. Novatel Wireless (NVTL) — Up 33 percent last week Novatel Wireless moved higher after IT products distributor and services provider Synnex announced an expanded deal to offer Novatel products throughout the U.S. and Canada. H.C. Wainwright followed by initiating coverage of Novatel with a buy rating and a $4 price target that it deems as conservative and one that it's likely to raise "sooner rather than later." Apogee Enterprises (APOG) — Up 14 percent last week There weren't too many companies reporting quarterly results last week, but Apogee was one that managed to shine through. The provider of value-added glass products and services saw revenue soar 30 percent in its latest quarter. Adjusted earnings climbed 67 percent to $0.35 a share, beating Wall Street expectations. The strong showing finds Apogee raising its outlook for fiscal 2015. VirnetX (VHC) — Down 65 percent last week The market's biggest loser was VirnetX, shedding nearly two-thirds of its value after an unfavorable patent ruling. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected a jury award of $368.2 million that VirnetX initially won against Apple (AAPL) in 2012 for patent

One under-$10 wireless services player that looks poised for a big spike higher is KongZhong (KONG), which is a provider of WVAS and mobile games to mobile phone users and a wireless media company providing news, content, community and mobile advertising services through its wireless Internet sites in the PRC. This stock is off to a hot start in 2013, with shares up sharply by 53%.
If you take a look at the chart for KongZhong, you'll notice that this stock has been downtrending badly for the last two months, with shares plunging lower from its high of $14.92 to its recent low of $7.78 a share. During that downtrend, shares of KONG have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of KONG into oversold territory, since its current relative strength index reading is 30.21. Shares of KONG are now starting to spike higher off its recent low of $7.78 a share and off its 200-day moving average of $7.95 a share. This spike could be signaling that the downside volatility for KONG is over in the short-term and the stock is ready to trend higher.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in KONG if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $8.50 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 519,857 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then KONG will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $10 to its 50-day moving average at $11.33 a share.
Traders can look to buy KONG off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support at $7.78 a share. One can also buy KONG off strength once it takes out $8.50 a share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

It was with a great deal of pride that I read your report of the award of an OBE to Lt Col Peter Gosney.
I was proud that a Billingham lad has done so well in his chosen field, and especially so for his mother, who I see around Billingham occasionally.
I was especially proud that Lt Col Gosney went to the bother of mentioning the decent pint of northern beer in Billingham Catholic Club, where I am the secretary.
I would like to offer my own and the club members' congratulations to the Gosney family and promise them all a warm welcome when next they visit us.
Should anyone else like to sample our decent beer, they would also be very welcome to come and try it.
S J WELLS, Billingham

* On the syndicated "Merrie Melodies" show, the two times Rocky gets shot (one where Bugs uses his carrot as a gun and the other time when Rocky, Bugs, and Mugsy are in the food processing plant) were cut. * The WB version of this cartoon cut the part in the beginning (showing the 1920s as a time of swinging jazz, flappers, and criminal activity) where a man runs into a telephone booth to report a crime to the operator and is told to wait. Immediately after, the man and the phone booth are shot in half by offscreen gunfire and the operator says, "I'm sorry, you've been disconnected."

There are two processors that currently we already know, namely RISC (Reduce Instruction Set Computer) and CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer). CISC processors have complex instructions for ease of writing assembly language programs, while the RISC processor has simple instructions that can be executed quickly to simplify the implementation of the internal control circuit processor.
Therefore, RISC processors can be made in the area of semiconductor chip Relatively narrow the number of components is less than CISC processors. Orientation difference between the two processors is causing the difference in the overall system, including the design kompilatornya.
While Superscalar processors generally use multiple functional units, creating a parallel path where many different instructions can be executed in parallel. With such an arrangement, it is possible to start the execution of multiple instructions in parallel every clock cycle. Of course, the parallel execution of the program must maintain the truth of this logic, so the results should be the same as the result of a serial execution
CISC stands for Complex Intruction Set Computer wherein the processor has a set of complex instructions and complete. CISC itself is a form of architecture which underwent several low-level instructions. For example, the low-level instructions are arithmetic operations, storage-retrieval of memory etc..
CISC instruction does have a complex and is considered influential in slower performance. CISC instruction set that offers a powerful, strong, tough, would not be surprised if CISC asembly language is only known that he actually addressed to the programmer. Therefore, just requires a bit CISC instructions to walk.
So actually the main goal of CISC architecture is executing a command quite a few lines of machine language as little as possible. This can be achieved by making the hardware processor is able to understand and execute a series of operations. For purposes of our example this time, a CISC processor is equipped with a special instruction, which we named MULT. When executed, the instruction will read the two values and store them into 2 different registers yag, do multiplication operands in the execution unit again and then returns the results to the appropriate register. So his instructions pretty one.
RISC and CISC difference when sorting execution
CISC and RISC difference was not significant if only seen from the terminology of complex instruction set or not (reduced).
More than that, RISC and CISC architecture differ in philosophy. CISC architectural philosophy is to move the software to the hardware complexity.
Current IC manufacturing technologies allow for set thousands and even millions of transistors inside the dice. Assortment instructions approaching high-level language programmers can be made in order to facilitate the programmer to make programs. Some CISC processors typically have internal firmware microcode in the form of his chips are useful to translate the macro instructions. This mechanism could slow instruction execution, yet effective way to make complex instructions. For certain applications that require singlechip computer, CISC processors could be an option.

Hunter S. Thompson once said, "There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: Bad people drink bad beer. Think about it," and he couldn't have been more right.
Flying Dog Brewery often uses the art of Ralph Steadman, longtime friend of Hunter S. Thompson and illustrator of his various works. According to Wikipedia, "In 2005, the brewery created a new beer in Thompson's honor, Gonzo Imperial Porter. Initially in limited-release in 750mL bottles, the Gonzo Imperial Porter is now one of the regular offerings of the brewery."
The backstory? Flying Dog Brewery attributes the collaboration to a friendship between owner, George Stranahan and Thompson:
Long time friend, neighbor and co-conspirator of Flying Dog owner George Stranahan, Hunter was a large influence on George's life and subsequently on the creation of the Flying Dog brand; whether it was riding motorcycles, blowing shit up, or just getting a good, old-fashioned drunk on at the Woody Creek Tavern. These two were fast friends long before Flying Dog Brewery was even a glimmer in George's eye. When George opened up shop in Aspen, Hunter would have been one of his best customers, that is if he had ever paid his tab.
Now that Flying Dog's Classic Pale Ale has been widely released, look for it in stores as well as pint glasses with the Hunter S. Thompson's epic "good people drink good beer" quote as well. Or buy one here!

I'm glad his eyes and heart is finally open; he's already sensitive regarding my feelings. I can see & feel how much he has changed and there's nothing more breath taking as what he told me "kasi ayaw na kitang malungkot, ayaw na kitang masaktan, gusto ko masaya ka….dahil mahal kita".
So basically, we're now okay and we'll try our best to be better.

Skirt Invades Exchange
Skirt Invades Exchange (c) New York Timet NEW YOhK - "Muriel Sie-bert is pleased to announce her admission," the announcement card says, "as a member a£ Uie New York Stock Exchange." This discreet wording is apt to rank as one of the great understatements of 1963 on Wall Street far the simple reason that ' "Mickie" Siebert at the age of 38 has become the first woman in history to own a seat on the big board. In the temples of high finance, this will asure her a place in history. For 175 august years, the nation's leading stock exchange had been the private preserve of men. Miss Siebert's green eyes lighted up the other day when she recalled the grand occasion during an interview. "It was last Dec. !8," she said. "The Board of Governors approved my membership. I went to the exchange and handed over a check covering the balance of the $445,000 seat purchase, plus the |7,515 initiation fee. I walked outside and bought three bottles of French champagne for the people in< my office. I still couldn't believe it was me. I was walking on cloud nine. The girl from Cleveland, the blonde-haired daughter of a dentist, had delivered a blockbuster on Wall Street; A few of the more conservative members in the financial community had hinted to the personable Miss Siebert that perhaps she ought to let a man buy the seat. "But the people at the Exchange were grand," she exclaimed. The reaction of one brokerage • house partner was typical. "I couldn't care less if a woman bought a seat," he said. "God bless America. ■ I ' think it's great." Mickie Siebert is a selling analyst whose clients include nearly all of the nation's 25 largest mutual funds and several of the big New York City banks. She provides these institutions with ideas to buy or sell stocks. In turn, the funds and the banks provide her. with a part a? iieir commission business. It all adds up to a handsome income for Miss Siebert, whose gross commissions have totaled better than 1500,000 for each of the tost two years. Her remuneration is a hefty fraction of . this amount. She arrived on Wall Street in 1953 and went to work for Eache & Co. as a research trainee at (65 a week, in 1958, when she was an analyst at Shields & Co., she received her first commission order from an investment company, as a reward for a research idea. That opened Mickie Siebert's eyes to the wider and more profitable vistas of selling and led, in time, to partnerships at Stearns & Co. and Finkle & Co., where she also spent some time on the trading desk. Last week, she said goodbye to a partnership at Brimberg & Co., another member firm of the big board, after three years. Miss Siebert started out last week on her own as ' an individual member of the. exchange with offices at 120 ' Broadway. "There will be just myself and a secretary," she said. "1 hope to hire a trader." One thing she won't do — to the immense relief of many exchange members — is to appear on the trading floor. Her floor transactions will be handled by the firm of Stern, Lauer & Co. In explaining her move, Miss Siebert said; "I can increase my income and have more freedom." "I'm only as good as my Ideas," she added, noting that some of. her successful suggestions to institutions have included Emery Air Freight, Boeing and United Air Lines. She concentrates on following about 15 big board stocks, mainly in aerospace and aviation. Competitors say that she knows the type of stocks that different institutions want and, furthermore, that she has a knack of "knowing where the blocks are available." Smart, Shrewd Friends describe her variouslv as "bubbly," "a ball of fire," and "very smart, very shrewd." Miss Siebert stands five feet four inches, lives in an apartment on Manhattan's upper East Side, talks with a slight Midwestern twang, likes to play bridge and golf, and is thinking about taking cooking lessons. "I don't read too much for recreation," she admits. "But right how I'm halfway through 'Our Crowd.' I read 25 or 50 aviation publications a week — lots of annual reports. I'm probably the only girl who walks into a beauty shop reading Missile and Space Daily." ;

If you're like me and addicted to using the old-school percent-symbol based string format, the newer bracket-based formatting is probably a bit mysterious. The python docs certainly don't help, they seem to be written for C programmers on meth (a help document entitled 'string format specification mini language' does not scream 'usability' to me, at any rate).
So, many props to Marcus Kazmierczak for his handy Python String Formatting Cookbook page. It's already saved me a ton of profanity. Here's to elevating the discourse of the internet!

It is amazing to me how time flies. I regularly check other blogs, and think to myself how irresponsible it is to have a blog and not have new entries every time someone visits, but then I go and do the same thing! My excuse is that my parents came to visit over the last week. They got in on Wednesday evening and the kids loved having them around to play with.
On Saturday, they went with us to Meagan's first T-Ball game of the season. What a great time we all had. Meagan even scored the first run of the season! She did it the best way — one base at a time. On her second at-bat, she made it to first but then was forced out at second on the next play. On her third at-bat, she was forced out at first. I think she had a good time — I am trying to maintain the excitement for her.
Yesterday, we went over to the Arizona Mills mall and just walked around during the heat of the day. Temperatures here are already into the 90s. Unfortunately, my parents had to leave this morning. My Dad hopes to come back through one more time before they return to Ukraine.
For those of you who don't know, my parents are second-career missionaries to Ukraine. Last year they were in Ukraine from February through November. Then they returned home to go through a bunch of courses and to be certified as second-career missionaries, and to raise the support they need to return. Their plan is to return to Odessa, Ukraine, in July for a two-year visit. We are going to miss them incredibly, but they are engaged in very important work.
Oh, they are missionaries through Mission to the World, which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America.

Today J. Cheever Loophole was supposed to be contacted by ex-KVers to claim back rent overcharges from 50 years ago. I had established an "office" for him at the Onion Magazine. Some people fell for it.... Some people aren't talking to me. I may have to change my name to Hugo Z. Hackenbush and move to Arizona. From: At The Circus, 1939, Music by Harold Arlen and brilliant lyrics by Yip Harburg, who lived at 55 Hester Street, between Allen and Eldridge, in 1900.
a link to learn all the song's historic and cultural references
My life was wrapped around the circus. Her name was Lydia.
I met her at the world's fair in 1900, marked down from
1940. Ah, Lydia.
She was the most glorious creature
Under the su-un.
Guiess. DuBarry. Garbo.
Rolled into one.
Lydia oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia,
Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
And a torso even more so.
Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia,
Oh Lydia the Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it the wreck of the Hespherous, too.
And proudly above waves the Red, White, and Blue,
You can learn a lot from Lydia.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world,
If you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris,
Or Washington crossing the Delaware.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Oh Lydia oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia,
Oh Lydia the Tattooed Lady
When her muscles start relaxing,
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia,
oh Lydia the queen of them all!
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
With a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Come along and see Buff'lo Bill with his lasso.

Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
Here's Godiva but with her pajamas on.

Here is Grover Whalen unveilin' the Trilon.
Over on the West Coast we have Treaure Island.
Here's Najinsky a-doin' the rumba.
Here's her social security numba.
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia that encyclopedia,
Oh Lydia the champ of them all.
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,
For he went and married Lydia.
I said Lydia (He said Lydia)

Never Never Never Give Up!
Snow on Miller School Road.
"Perhaps the greatest success as a general in warfare was General George Patton in WW II in his 3rd Army sweep across France to beat Hitler.
One secret of his success was his policy to attack every day … in dry weather, rain, ice or snow. His leadership principal was the following: ATTACK! Vigorously execute "adequate decisions" today not tomorrow." -- Mark Beliles
Every day is a new opportunity. One can become more knowledgeable about the issues and interject that knowledge into conversation with his or her fellow travellers. We need to work hard to become the person those around us, friends and family, look to for clarity in times of uncertainty. The task is enormous -- I would not advise it be undertaken without seeking the help and counsel of the Creator of all things... but with His guidance there is no question what our course should be.
The road less travelled lies before us. The journey is perilous. There are no guarantees save those Divine promises that have sustained humanity for centuries. They are enough.
The sun is rising. Our mission becomes clearer. It is time to set forth!
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. --- Mark Twain

At the DA's office, Bryan created and managed the office's first investigations tracking database that cataloged case notes, evidence, reports and acted as a contact and scheduling management software solution, which dramatically increased office efficiency and helped the Economic Crimes Unit recover 4x more in victim restitution. As a police consultant, Bryan now actively assists Federal, State and local law enforcement with the investigation of felony crimes.

Once again, Lindisfarne Productions had the pleasure of teaming up with the University of Alberta's Executive Education department to create a promotional video focusing on their Governance Program for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises.
Small to Medium Sized Enterprises make up a significant portion of Alberta's industry today. "Small/Mid-sized businesses are becoming more and more complex… and having a strong board can make a big difference." So says Mr. Wellington Holbrook, Executive Vice President of Business & Agriculture at ATB Financial. This four-day program focuses on how to create a governance structure, how to strategically grow the business, develop financial literacy and compensation strategies, and build out the risk plans.
We got out our notebooks and sat down in Edmonton with Holbrook, Darren Rawson (past Graduate & Entrepreneur in Residence), and Stuart Crosley (Program Graduate) to hear more about what the program has to offer and why it is so important for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in Alberta.
Check out the video and learn more about the program here.

My 8 year old daughter really enjoyed this book. Although she found reading the awful bullying that Linda had to put up with disturbing.

I just went through two surgeries since May and now I am recuperating. It was a difficult time for me but because I trusted Him to take care of me and because of all the prayer cover I had, everything went well and now I can relax and enjoy my summer. God is good and how much better my life is because of a choice I made many years ago! Thank you Jesus!

Happy New Year to all of you! 2013 was a tough year for our family! We are excited to start a new year with a new goal. After a lot of prayer and research we took that leap of faith last August and became a part of the Pink Zebra Home family. Now with 2014 fresh and new we have an achievable goal for our family. This is the first time in a long time I have been truly excited about something and I can see the Lord's hand at work in our family business. My husband became a consultant in October of last year. It's very nice to have 100% unity in our marriage as far as our short and long term goals are concerned.
So are you thinking of joining a direct sales company. I know the word "sales" can be a little frightening. I was one of those people who thought it just wasn't for me. Kenan, my husband, knew that I would love it and he knows that A LOT of people do REALLY well. He is a UPS driver so he sees those huge orders coming in from other companies. He also knew that if I were to get into Direct Sales I would need to find a ground floor company, a consumable product, a different product, and be one of the first in our area to introduce our new company. Well, Pink Zebra met all those requirements. What I didn't expect was the family I would be a part of. I have met so many new friends who share some of my same struggles. Many have lost their mothers, like I have. Many are home schooling Mommas, many are taking care of elderly parents, and most of these incredible people are strong Christians. I feel at home. 🙂 Funny how the company's true name is Pink Zebra Home. Because that is what you get.
If you join my team you are getting 2 consultants for the small enrollment fee. Kenan and I are 100% dedicated to this business and will be there every step of the way to guide you. We are going to start hosting monthly team meetings, rewards, etc. Our goals are to see you meet your goals. Which helps us meet our goals. It's not a cut throat business like most. This is REAL team work.
And good news! We have an amazing enrollment special for the month of January! Basic kits start at $74 and you receive $50 Pink Dollars to be used for product after enrollment. Anyone who joins my team in January will also receive $25 Pink Dollars from Kenan and I to be used to purchase product. So you get $240 worth of product, and $75 Pink Dollars, all for the low cost of $74! Yes, it's worth it! It doesn't matter if you live next door to me or live in California. We want you on our team! We want to see your business grow and your 2014 be one that goes down in history! I cannot even begin to tell you how much potential Pink Zebra has to offer. I promoted 2 levels in 3.5 months.
Click on the picture to join my team! Give it a try and see what it's all about!

The Cabin and the Neighbors: Part 3
Date: 5/10/2018, Categories: Gay, Author: stockingluvr, Source: LushStories
After introducing Ben to Paul, we each had a few sips of our beers before Paul approached me. He pushed me back down onto the picnic table face-up, leaving my ass and legs hanging over the edge. Then he kneeled down, spread my legs, and began licking Ben's cum off of me. Starting at my ankles, he slowly worked his way up both legs, alternating between them until he got to my ass. I was obviously enjoying the unexpected attention, but Ben seemed to be getting into it just as much as me. Just as Paul's tongue got to the top of my thighs I looked up to see that Ben had his cock in hand. He was staring so intently at Paul licking me clean that I don't think he even realized that he was jerking off. When Paul started rimming my ass I pulled my legs back to give him easy access. After a couple minutes he stood up, pulled out his cock and started to enter me. He started a slow and easy pace, which is just the way I like it. As he started picking it up some I motioned for him to look over at Ben. When he saw that Ben was stroking pretty hard he said, "Come on over here and cum in Dennis again." Ben replied, "Are you sure? You don't seem to be done yet." Paul, always the diplomatic one said, "I'm not, but you seem to be much closer to cumming that I am and I can finish after you," and then he pulled out of me and stepped aside. As Ben approached I slid back on the table so that he would have to lay on top of me in a missionary position. Ben stopped in his tracks, cock still in hand, ...

It has been a really good day! Liesl and I got to sleep a little late this morning, and it was a little bit of Heaven. We woke up to sunny skies and just a beautiful day. As always, the church service was wonderful. I really appreciate my church and the folks that attend it.
I came home and put my finishing touches on my research paper for my online class. I only have my Powerpoint final project and my final exam left to do over the next two weeks. After that I just got to sit quietly for a while and play with little Miss Liesl. She has been such a patient little soul the past couple of weeks while things were really hectic. So we played, which made her really happy.
I got to go to a symphony reception this evening. It was lovely, there was wonderful food, and I got to visit with some wonderful friends. I was talking with one of my closest girlfriends who was there. She said that as soon as she got home, she was going to put on her warm jammies, microwave some popcorn for her dinner, and watch television. I agreed that it sounded awesome so I came home, put on my jammies, microwaved some buffalo chicken strips for dinner, cuddled my dog, and got out my stitching. It was a wonderful evening. I got to work on Dog Lessons for People and hopefully will be able to post a photo later this week.
I tried to take a photo of Liesl's haircut today. I was cracking up because due to the delay on my camera, I have all of these odd shots, of an ear, a tail, or nothing at all. She would be posing nicely, and just as the shutter would snap, she would trot off. It just made me laugh, especially when I saw the photos.
Hope you have a wonderful week!

Stonecheck provides physical presence for section-leading Franklin Regional
By: Bill Beckner Jr.
Wednesday, January 10, 2018 | 10:29 PM
Hunter Stonecheck knows he gets under the skin of opponents, thrives on it even.
A grin forms slowly as he discusses his ire-inspiring game, like there are puppet strings pulling up the sides of his mouth.
"I love it," said the 6-foot-4 senior forward from Franklin Regional.
But can a player truly work in petulance if he knows what he is doing from the opening tip?
He doesn't say much, buy his actions speak louder than his words.
To Stonecheck, an extra bump, an extended elbow, a handful of jersey, are all just parts of his master plan: to fuel your dislike him.
It's his personal advantage.
He is the Panthers' Bad Boy.
"I don't care if people don't like me," Stonecheck said. "I am not a dirty player. I just play hard. I have just always been the guy who annoys people on the court. But it's just how I play and who I am. I want to wear teams down."
Franklin Regional coach Steve Scorpion said his throwback forward plays with a controlled brand of nastiness.
"He plays physical and doesn't back down," Scorpion said. "But yeah, he drives you nuts."
Teammates appreciate Stonecheck's style because it has helped the Class 5A No. 3-ranked Panthers (9-2) vault to the top of Section 3.
"We love playing with him," Franklin Regional guard Mike Bartolacci said. "He is hard-nosed and he likes to get after it. We have some heated practices, but he keeps us all going."
Opposing teams, though, quietly appreciate Stonecheck's effort.
"He is the type of kid that every team needs," Armstrong coach Greg Hutcherson said. "He does the dirty work and brings a hard-nosed mentality. He isn't trying to make friends on the court."
Highlands also plays in Franklin Regional's section.
"Stonecheck is not someone who cares about points or stats, he just wants to win," Highlands coach Tyler Stoczynski said. "He's big and strong and can handle the ball. He creates a hard matchup. I'd use the phrase no nonsense. There was a foul he committed in the fourth quarter of our game that our team took exception to. Was it dirty? I don't know, but did it send the message that if you want to win the section you have to come through Franklin Regional."
Scorpion said teams presuppose that Stonecheck will try to lure them into his sleeper hold and agitate them. That distraction, though, can allow the Panthers' shooters to get more involved, with Stonecheck there waiting for the rebound.
"He is the guy nobody wants to play against," Scorpion said. "Until he's on your team. Then you love him. Teams need that enforcer. He's a throwback to an Aaron Lovelace or a Mark Ponko, great post guys at Franklin."
That's what happened in AAU when Stonecheck teamed up with players he had once sent home with bruises.
"It pumps them up," Stonecheck said of teammates. "Everyone is focused on the goal of winning and they can kind of rally around a player who goes hard like that."
And while he accepts his reputation for being the kid who swings at the pinata without a blindfold — he embraces it; tries to live up to it — Stonecheck doesn't want all the candy. He wants people to know he still plays within the parameters of the rules, and doesn't instigate with the intention of losing his cool.
"I have never had a technical," he said proudly, pausing for a few seconds as if to wait for a reaction. "I don't take it too far."
Said Scorpion: "He knows he can't do that. He knows I won't let that happen. He isn't going to do something stupid that will hurt our team. He is still a team kid."
Stonecheck said he started honing his post skills playing alongside Todd Summers a few years ago. Franklin Regional is known for having industrial-strength athletes who translate well from football to basketball.
"Todd showed me a lot; it was great that I was able to play with him," Stonecheck said.
Summers is now a tight end at Villanova.
Stonecheck's hobbies, aside from subtly trash-talking and chasing offensive putbacks, include watching YouTube videos of former Detroit Pistons ruffian Bill Laimbeer, notorious for starting trouble and irritating opponents to the point of retaliation.
"When I get some down time I search for Bill Laimbeer fights," he said. "I love the 'Bad Boys' 30 for 30. And, 'I hate Christian Laettner.' I love Christian Laettner."
Those are players after his own heart.
"And he has pictures of Dennis Rodman all over his room" said Scott Stonecheck, Hunter's father. "He is all about the 'Bad Boys.'
"The competition makes him tick. He loves the underdog. He doesn't have all the physical attributes but makes plays when it counts and has mental and physical toughness like no other. He's a glue player."
Stonecheck, though, also is a die-hard Boston sports fan who revels in the New England Patriots' success, even if it comes at the expense of the Steelers. He scored a sideline pass a few weeks ago when the Patriots visited Heinz Field — on the visitors' sideline, of course, hoping to get as close to Tom Brady as possible.
He also is a fan of Celtics legend Larry Bird. He even wears No. 33.
"I like to watch the video of him fighting Dr. J," Stonecheck said. "That's great stuff."
Stonecheck also plays linebacker and tight end in football, He recently was the recipient of the team's annual Mark Ponko Award, highlighting "the highest level of toughness, work ethic, character and skill."
Ponko was a star defensive back who walked on and became a starter at Pitt in the early 2000's.
"He has always just been a tough, 'hard,' player," said Scott Stonecheck, a former Penn Hills wrestler who is about five inches smaller than his son. "He gets his size from his mom's side of the family. She has some tall relatives.
"I remember Hunter smashing his finger in a door and his nail hanging off. He taped it up and went out and played quarterback. He's not a mean kid. He just plays hard."
Hunter Stonecheck's grandfather, Ron Willard, was a basketball standout at Hempfield and went on to a hall of fame career at Duquesne.
