Groundhog Day Prediction
Date: February 2nd, 9:00 am
Venue: Library
Location: WyomingMore Info
Plympton-Wyoming Mayor Lonny Napper will be visiting the Wyoming Library along with Lambton's famous groundhog, Oil Springs Ollie, on Friday February 2 at 9am where the duo will predict whether an early spring is coming to Lambton in 2018.
"This will be an exciting morning as we anticipate whether Ollie sees his shadow and if we should expect more winter weather or an early spring," says Lise Babcock, Children's Services Coordinator at Lambton County Library. "After Ollie makes his prediction, there will be time for a talk on groundhogs, crafts and colouring."
Heaven's Wildlife Rescue, a rehabilitation and education centre located in Lambton County, will be leading the educational presentation on groundhogs. "The centre rehabilitates orphaned, injured and displaced wildlife patients and on this Groundhog Day, the Library and the Centre are encouraging visitors to bring with them any small, broken or unwanted toys and stuffed animals for donation to the centre," explains Babcock. "Toys are well-used by the rescue animals who need to stay active while staying at the centre."
Oil Springs Ollie is a permanent resident at Heaven's Wildlife Rescue. The groundhog was a rescued animal who is unable to be released back in the wild. This is his fifth prediction.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has praised his side for qualifying for the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The Scottish champions beat Spartak Moscow 2-1 at Parkhead on Wednesday night to finish second behind Barcelona on the Group G table, allowing them into the Round of 16 of Europe's premier club competition, and absolutely delighting a very proud Lennon.
"It means a hell of a lot to the club," Lennon told Sky Sports 3.
"It is a monumental achievement on our behalf.
"For the whole club to be at the big table in the new year is a phenomenal effort. To get 10 points is a phenomenal effort.
"I thought we did not play well in the first half, got a break with the goal and then we were slack for their goal. But second half we were a lot better, created good chances; we had to go for it and thankfully it came through for us."
Gary Hooper's 21st minute opener was canceled out by Ari's chipped finish late in the first half before Kris Commons fired home from the penalty spot with nine minutes remaining after Georgios Samaras was felled in the area to give the Hoops the points required to finish above Benfica who drew 0-0 with Barcelona in Spain.

DWTS Season 9 – The "Twist" and Cast Rumors & Implications
I reported on this possibility some time ago – now it's confirmed. Dancing with the Stars is starting with 16 – yes, 16 – celebrities. On the plus side – every one should get to see their favorite pro (maybe). Maybe I'm just crabby, but dang!! With 16 celebs this show could be exhausting to watch! If a large percentage of them can't dance…ugh. 🙂 Anyway, ET is reporting this story. Here are a few exerpts:
"This is going to be our biggest-ever cast," he [Conrad Green] tells ET. "We are going to start big, and then about halfway through, we are going to do three double eliminations back-to-back. The middle of the season is going to be brutal when half of our cast goes in three weeks."
In order to have enough professional dancers to partner with the stars, Green says he will be adding Anna Demidova this season, but no one new — the show already has used Chelsie Hightower, Dmitry Chaplin and Lacey Schwimmer — from "So You Think You Can Dance."
Green goes on to explain that the reason for so many competitors this season is twofold: 1) he needs to fill the two-hour timeslot, and 2) he feels it is important to change up the show from season to season. As a result, there will be more athletes, with some new sports represented, some very big personalities, some slightly eccentric personalities [think Cloris Leachman], and a couple of names where people will go, "What is that person doing dancing?"
He goes on to basically say that it's up to Paula if she wants to be on the show or not! That is the only person he sort of implies has an offer – and he seems to imply that Donny and Lou Ferrigno are NOT going to be on the show.
Well, what do you all think? Is it just me who gets tired just thinking about 16 couples dancing? And the mid-season brutal double eliminations? Eeek. 🙂

Amidst the stress and chaos of life I asked myself over a glass (okay 2 glasses) of bad Riesling tonight, "am I really doing this again?" Am I really running another marathon?
As I get closer to emptying my glass I realize the question isn't "am I really doing this again?" The question is "why the hell am I doing this again?"
I don't have:
- time to train,
- energy to train,
- the desire to start 5 months of training (except I do have the desire to run the actual 26.2 race),
- any happy thoughts about running really long runs in March. I hate running short runs in March,
- again…the time to train.
Things, crazy/regular/this-is-your-life-so-get-over-it, time and energy sucking things, are always happening which drive my anxiety about training through the roof. Liam gets a concussion at basketball practice and can't go to school for 2 days, which means I don't get as much work done during the day, which means I'm working at night or early in the morning when I first get up to catch up, which means I'm not running. Wyatt gets a cold and doesn't sleep in his bed, which means he's kicking me and breathing on me all night long, which means I don't get a good night's sleep, which means I drink too much coffee and not enough water the next day, which means I'm dehydrated, which means I feel tired and not at all like running. Charlotte is trying out for winter track which is a new sport for her which means her anxiety is through the roof, which means I have to buy 14 rolls of KT tape for her knees just to make sure there's enough, which means I spend more money at CVS than I'd ever care to admit, which means for whatever reason that again, I drink too much coffee and not enough water. It's just what happens.
Again, I ask myself: Self, why am I doing this???? Still no answer…. The Coastal Delaware Marathon in April is likely to be cold and rainy because last years race day for our half marathon was an absolute stunner of a day. It was picture perfect and the race COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. What are the chances of it being the same? And while we think that the end of April should be sunny and warm-ish, I know for a fact that it can be chilly, gray and dreary. The weekend of this running festival is my birthday weekend and this past week I've found myself sitting at my computer half daydreaming and half praying that the weather isn't like my 8th birthday party when we were all out in the backyard in winter coats and hats, trying to hit a frozen pinata hanging from the wash line. 😦
But then there's this follow up question of why can I not imagine NOT doing it???? For months I've been perfectly happy to think about the 5K/9K challenge that I originally signed up for…but it started to seem like I wasn't taking full advantage of the fantastic course and weekend. I struggled with bumping back up to the half marathon; I really don't want to train in February and March…but…it just seemed right to make the change to the full marathon. The Jedi mind tricks and the nagging feeling I've had finally won out. I don't know how I'm going to get it all done, but I'll just have to figure it out one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. Just like everything else.
Mama D texted me a "pick-me-up" kind of text when I was super stressed yesterday. After getting Liam's concussion diagnosis while I was at the office for late in the afternoon and evening therapist events it helped to read this: "Reason number 1,452,795 why I love you: amidst all the pressure and stress in your life- you sign up for a marathon. For a friend. Because you are awesome and giving and kind and supportive. It amazes me." *heart emoji*
The truth of the matter is, my friend Denise is worth figuring out how to train for all of this. She works so hard and gives EVERYTHING she has every time we step out into the street, onto the trail, and into the box. She faces her fears, pushes through any pain, and gets it done. No matter what we do, she shows up and works her ass off. And if she wants me to be there by her side as she conquers her 26.2, then I'll do it with a smile on my face. Because I can't imagine a better way to spend a Sunday morning at the end of April.
The other truth of the matter is, I've always wanted to do another marathon. I had such a rough experience the first go around with barely being recovered from a nasty stomach virus and then doing the entire race all wrong. Ever since that finish line I knew I was going to have to do another one to prove to myself that I could do it better. And then, one by one, my Mamas started signing up for the full marathon in Delaware. I started convincing myself that this was the time. The timing is perfect to keep training after the Disney Princess Half. Why not keep going if I'm already halfway there? The course is flat and beautiful. FLAT. The half marathon was gorgeous and the scenery changed every few miles so time flew by so quickly. I will be there with all of my friends. WIN. I'll be training and planning to race with a 1 to 1:30 or 1:1 run/walk interval, which seems like the smartest way to manage this big race. This is it, my chance, my opportunity to not watch my friends cross the finish line and regret not doing it with them …. April 23, 2017 could be my long distance running swan song. It's kind of exciting thinking about retirement!
So now there's 6 of us signed up for the full marathon. 6!!! That's AMAZING and inspiring and beyond exciting. I'm sure training is going to suck in the middle of January and February, but will it? Maybe not. This is going to be so different than last time. This time there's going to be a big group of us running 15, 16, 18, 20 miles during the weekend. It's going to be like a breakfast party every weekend where we run/walk our way accross towns, eating trail mix and chews and GU while complaining about our husbands – why wouldn't I want to join in that fun?
It feels right. It's the right time. No regrets.

Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG)
We believe that Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance is vital to help all students to achieve their own potential, set them on the path to an appropriate course of higher education and to fulfil their dreams in a successful adult and working life. From Year 8 upwards, careers guidance is part of the Tutor Programme, which increases in content and scope through Key Stage 4 and into the Sixth Form. The school works closely with our Careers South West Advisor to provide independent and impartial careers advice; all Year 11 students attend an individual meeting, but any student may request an appointment with the Advisor.
In addition to academic success, all students develop their employability skills by working towards a nationally-recognised qualification awarded by PiXL Edge. The Edge is intended to develop and accredit the life skills and attributes that employers are telling us that students need – leadership, organisation, initiative, resilience and communication – and recognises what they can do as well as what they know.
All Year 10 students spend a week on Work Experience, which provides a useful taste of the world of work, while a visit to the University of Plymouth Open Day provides a rich source of ideas for possible pathways to follow.
We fully appreciate the importance of making good choices for study after GCSEs. Our Year 11 post-16 Options Day gives an excellent insight into Sixth Form courses, the chance to speak to Sixth Form students who are already studying subjects they may be interested in and guides students through online resources to research their career pathways in more detail. Furthermore, each Year 11 student meets individually with a senior teacher to ensure that they are on course to achieve their career aspirations. Careers literature is available in the library, while online resources may be accessed through Moodle, the school's virtual learning environment.

Talk:Missing Maps Epworth Zimbabwe Field Mapping 2015 live
An attempt at a simple Howto for updating OSM from this data;
1. On the table, chose an empty row, in my case NE D,
2. Click on edit at the head of the Chapter heading which reads Field Paper Edit & Upload (edit)
3. Scroll down until you find your chosen row - which will actually appear something like this
4. & add your name so it looks like this;
|- | NE | D | Nick Allen | |-
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page & click on show preview and if it looks okay scroll to the bottom & click on save changes
6. Right click on this link from the head of the table for The files are hosted on Dropbox & chose either open link in new tab or open link in new window so you don't lose this guide.
7. On your new tab or window, scroll to the bottom of the Dropbox link and then download the GPX file - in my case North East GPX grid.gpx
8. Load this .gpx file into JOSM and you will now be able to see the area zones
9. The fieldpapers were created at a time the site was in transition, and uploading them to use as a layer in JOSM in the normal way does not seem to work. Instead look at the dropbox files - in my case the file D1.jpg in the folder corresponds to the rectangle on the North East GPX grid.gpx area in JOSM, so having got it into my screen, in JOSM I download OpenStreetMap data - it looks the same as my map D1.jpg and I can then read off the info from D1.jpg and find that location within JOSM.
10. My D1.jpg has B1 written on it, and on D1 Survey.jpg I can see that B1 has house name/number, Construction, Neighbourhood/Street, Area & Ward info.
11. Create a node at the point you think B1 should be, and add the tags for the address - there is a guide under the heading Missing_Maps_Epworth_Zimbabwe_Field_Mapping_2015_live#Case_study:_mapping_a_neighbourhood
12. Now do the same for B2 etc until you have finished all the information in the dropbox folder you downloaded.
13. Finished a pack or had to stop part way through - make sure you add a comment to the table so that progress can be monitored
|- | NE | D | Nick Allen | Sorry, ran out of time, so only the first page of D1 has been completed. |-
14. Congratulate yourself on a job well done, and hurry back to do some more another time - thanks for reading.

Abou Andre & Naf Naf Grill
If you think hummus is yummus, here's some very good news: The Loop now has two new pita-packed Middle Eastern restaurants. In July, Lebanon-based Abou Andre Mediterranean Bistro (60 E. Jackson Boulevard 312-386-1300) launched its first U.S. location in the Loop's south end. A few blocks northwest, suburban favorite Naf Naf Grill (309 W. Washington St. 312-251-9000) fired up the grill at its first city location earlier this month. Read more about both in our faceoff feature.

Unexpected Monday!
Me and the wee one had lunch with my dear friend Richard. In between the whims of a toddler we talked interiors, namely Richard's great taste and all about his wee orphan lamb they are hand rearing on their smallholding. And you remember those 'wowls', well Richard gave me a pair- I was well, stoked.
The lunch venue had a few of our fav charity shops next door and two tiny dishes and a some more table linen later we returned home.
Meanwhile the postman had delivered a squishy parcel from my lovely sister in law. It contained a beautiful scarf, well its a cowl really, knitted in the softest, cosiest merino wool. It was in a recent Molly Makes and I am quite honoured that my Sister in Law's Mum knitted it for me. A big thank you.
There was also a card for the kiddos which invites us all to my Brother and Sister in Law's new home for lunch soon- Finn was delighted and so are we.
I hope you all had as good a Monday, Jo xx

A Night Away
Tormaukin Hotel. Hill of hares it means. It was a lovely. Great food, really friendly owners and for us that all important chill out time. The huge claw foot bath was bliss....
In a nearby village we found a really quirky coffee shop. We got some great gifts for the kiddos and well someone got a new owl bag....
Hope you all had a relaxing weekend, Jo xx

Happy Friday!
Friday involves David and I having a lovely gin and tonic. Tonight's one was made with a very special gin from Demijohn on Byres Road in Glasgow, I can testify that this gin is super smooth and very yum. If you are in Glasgow you must check Demijohn out.
And yes those are dry roasted peanuts- what else would a seventies obsessive snack on!
Have a lovely weekend everyone, Jo xx

Slides from the 70's
Mmmm rubbish heading- photo slides I mean not the slides my kiddos love!
So I think my 70's retro obsession is having an effect on my folks! I have a few great pics of them from the 70's and they have a handful of snaps in a wee album. However my Dad recently found a load of slides and you know what he just got them put on a disc. I was super happy to see some of them yesterday and I just had to share my favourite with you! This was taken in 71 at Chester Zoo. Aren't they a cool pair- Go Mum! Just wish she had kept that dress!
Hope you are all having a great week despite the rain deluge! Jxx

Wowls- that is the bubba's name for them just now! Aren't these lovely! They belong to my friend Richard- one of my closest friends with whom I share many similar loves and likes. He has a stunning home- can you see that wallpaper?
I believe these candle holders were from Tesco. Sadly I see them no more. Tesco can be like that- you see something you love and when its gone its gone!
If he lets me I might show you some more of his home sometime!
Thank you Rich- love ya! Jxx

Till Tuesday
My retro pudding quest is taking on a bit of an obsession now. Today I attempted my Mum's family favourite- pineapple upside down cake. I dropped the Glace cherries- just can't take them seriously and well they taste pretty yuck! {a pic at your request Zoe!}

Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
Its funny isn't it how you take places you have on your doorstep for granted- I had such a wake up call when we stepped into the huge Victorian green houses in the Botanics. They are totally and utterly beautiful, amazingly atmospheric, so child friendly and such lovely things to take in and look at everywhere.
We took a picnic and the kiddos were super excited that David met us for a coffee while they munched on their lunch in the Kibble Palace.
Most people in Glasgow have many memories of the Botanics- its the place you would go on a first date, take your baby for the first outing, take your visiting parents, seek solace. I have done a few of these things and also celebrated the end of an awful relationship with iced buns and a good friend in the Kibble Palace!
On Friday and all weekend I have felt very happy and blessed to be right where I should be just now and able to enjoy such good times with my wee family.
I hope you have all had a peaceful, relaxed weekend.

Nicky), the wine glasses etc and then I cook something nice for us both.
Tonight was Caesar Salad with Crispy Chicken.
The rest of the week tea time usually involves coercing the boy to eat and helping the bubba to manage eating. Not much room for me to eat and food is definitely just re-fuelling! This is just for now anyway- family meals will develop I am sure!
So D and I just love a wee peaceful night clinking glasses and enjoying chat and food- re-charging our batteries!
Happy Thursday everyone,
Love Jo x
PS the poppy plate is Elizabethan 'Carmen'- very vibrant colours!

Till Tuesday
Not the usual amount of photos today, sorry. The kiddos wouldn't stay still in the house and we were out and about a lot today at playgroup, the library, the shops! Tried really hard to day to make every minute count with the kids before back to work and nursery tomorrow.
I cooked Magic Lemon pudding for the first time after being just about to cook Lisa-Marie's beautiful looking lemon cake I found myself reading my Mum's cookery book and was waylaid a bit by this pudding. My MIL comes for dinner on a Tuesday and she does love a pudding. Anyway suffice to say the magic works- sauce and sponge appeared- although I may add a little more flour next time to try and make the sponge a bit more substantial. Oh and it worked with oat milk and vegan spread which is good to know!
1. Gratuitous shot of new glass dish (thrifted at weekend in Perth) with my treasured catherineholm creeping into shot!
2. My Mum's much loved and used 70's cookery book.
3. Lemon pudding that we made today!

Happy Thursday (my Friday!)
Nicky at Raggle Taggle Hawker. The flower power mats and 70's drinks tray are so fab! I love them.
I finish for the week on a Thursday so a wee glass of red is in order tonight!
Oh and if you can identify who painted that picture I will properly reward you- Despite many, many attempts I have never been able too!
Have a lovely Easter break everyone- D and I had a lovely meal tonight and are looking forward to a chilled Easter.

Till Tuesday
Good old Easter egg hunt at the play group this morning- both kiddos snaffled lots of chocolate and ran off lots of energy!
A lovely parcel from Nicky at Raggle Taggle Hawker to open- I will show you the contents later in the week but in the meantime please check out Nicky's Etsy shop. If you like the same sort of retro stuff as me you will just die when you see the amazing stuff Nicky has- and all at a very fair price. She is super nice too.
Sadly as predicted the weather has turned to snow and sleet here today, but despite that we managed a wee walk in the woods and gathered lots of spring greenery and flowers! Bluebells I love- I just wish they lasted longer indoors. I think they are just trying to tell me- 'we look better wild!'.
And yes that is a vase made out of an old Calpol bottle! The boy decided to hand craft that for me! A scrap of materiel glued onto the bottle.
The boy and I decorated a twig with wee Easter eggs that believe it or not came from Poundland! We haven't done so much Easter decorating before but well the kids love doing and making so we gave it a go. Easter bonnet's are in production but the bubba's habit of eating the glue stick is slowing down proceedings!!
Oh and I made an Eve's pudding- easy and yummy- recipe from here. This is more or less the way my Mum made it when we were wee.
Hope you are all having a lovely week, Jo xx

A: Little ones may not like the vast open space of their crib at first, especially if they are in the habit of being held to sleep. As a first step, it may be best to have your son learn to fall asleep on his own, without being held. Given that he is comfortable in his swing, start by putting him in his swing wide awake at bedtime. After a few days to a week, take the next step of putting him in his swing but without turning on the motion. Once he has the hang of falling asleep on his own, you can move to putting him down for bed in his crib. He may fuss at first, but he will get the hang of it after a few nights. Taking some small steps will make it easier for your little one to transition to his crib.

Their willingness to invest less capital than venture capital funds and corporations - between 100,000 and 1,000,000 euro – makes business angels particularly valuable to companies in early growth stages and startups. In addition, the social and professional networking that business angels contribute is key to the advancement of new business ventures.

Wave Farm (formerly known as free103point9) submitted an application to the FCC in October 2007 during a rare filing window for full-power non-commercial educational FM radio stations. A year later, on October 17, 2008, free103point9 received a construction permit to build a new FM station. The FM station was planned to serve both sides of the organization's roots: radio art and community access on the airwaves.
In June 2008, an Advisory Council was established to guide the development of the station with regards to serving Greene and Columbia counties' local community. Council members provided critical input in naming the station, establishing the program schedule, and getting 90.7-FM off the ground and on the airwaves.
WGXC Online Radio began streaming at wgxc.org on May 9, 2009, live from the Catskill Community Center, with M.A. Tarpinian, Dharma Dailey, Tom Roe, and others; and from Germantown Community Farm with Kaya Weidman and others.
In September 2009, free103point9 received a commitment of $71,485 from the US Department of Commerce. This award secured 50 percent of the funding needed for the intial equipment (transmitter, antenna, etc.) to launch the WGXC FM signal. On December 31, 2009, the capital-campaign for WGXC's launch was furthered with a New Year's Eve celebration that featured 60 local performers, and by September 2010, matching funds were successfully raised.
In September 2010, free103point9 partnered with the national radio advocacy organization Prometheus Radio Project to host a first full-power FM barnraising for WGXC 90.7-FM in Hudson. The conference included three days of hands-on workshops, presentations, and performances, during which participants collaborated to build the WGXC Hudson studio and help prepare the station for its FM signal launch.
In December 2010, WGXC programmers began broadcasting live shows on the WGXC webstream from the Hudson studio.
On February 26, 2011, WGXC went live on air at 90.7 FM. This momentous occasion was celebrated with a live broadcast event at the Catskill Community Center, which featured many of the station's first on-air programmers.
Wave Farm's WGXC broadcasts out of two full-time studios located in Hudson and Acra, NY. The WGXC Satellite studio is currently located within the Catskill Public Library. This mobile broadcasting unit facilitates live remote broadcasts throughout the station's listening area.

Music can help you to lose weight
An important factor in losing weight is improving your emotional state. Why? Because losing weight is easier when you feel good. If youre thinking negative thoughts, whether theyre negative thoughts about your body, relationships, your job, your attempt to lose weight will be more difficult.
Losing weight becomes much easier when youre in a positive emotional state. If you have challenges in your life Im not suggesting you sugar coat those challenges. What I am suggesting is to find reasons to feel good anyway. Every cloud has a silver lining, your job is to find that silver lining and focus on it.
One good way is to listen a special music, you should know the following fact things:
1. Emotional and Physical are Linked
It has been shown that there is a "mind-body link" between the emotional and physical. This means that certain emotional states are associated with certain physical conditions. Weight issues have been found to be associated with depression and a lack of self-esteem. If the emotional pain is reduced, it could be indirectly helpful for the physical condition. Similarly, if the physical condition is improved, it could be indirectly helpful for the emotional state.
2. Music Can Touch Emotional and Physical
Music has the distinct quality of being able to touch both the emotional and the physical parts of our being. Each person will respond differently to this lose weight music collection. Most people will experience more of an emotional response and others will experience more of a physical response
Lose Weight Music Guide
the Lose Weight Music is a special music album which can adjust and improve your emotional status.
Make sure you always keep a good feeling. Please follow the below tips to listen the Lose Weight Music.

Every Morning when you wake up put Lose Weight Music on.
Listen to it as you have breakfast and get ready for your day. It will put a spring in your step and help you to be positive, you will feel capable of anything and that feel-good feeling will carry you through the day.

2. After a hard work day

Album: All Is One
Year: 2013
Label: Century Media
Review: Jason Spencer
Thoughts: I confess that I've had quite the time trying to rate this album. On the one hand, this is Orphaned Land, a rather well-known group that love to bring different peoples and religions together. That is a worth cause. However, on the other hand, this is a music review. So, I need to be honest and true to my gut.
Orphaned Land is a progressive metal group from Israel that utilizes heavy guitars contrasted with beautiful Middle Eastern strings. It's a great sound, for sure. But, that's literally ALL they do! This might be one of the flattest albums I've heard in 2013, as every song is basically the same. So, while the results are beautiful, addictive, and sweeping (think a sword and sandal epic); the whole is less than its parts. What we get in the end is an album that starts out with a set of tricks, and then doesn't change a thing until the end. Yes, you will be glancing at your watch quite a bit.
Now, don't get me wrong. This album has some high points. Unfortunately, those high points are at the very beginning and at the very end. The problem is that you have to wallow through the monotony in between those two points. For example, I find 'All Is One' and 'The Simple Man' to be awesome. The former is different than the rest of the album, and the latter is perhaps the greatest use of the bag of tricks here.
There is very little in the way of variety or variation here. 'Fail' is sung entirely with harsh vox, but that is definitely not something I like (though the music in that track is great). There are also two tracks sung in a different language, but they lose my interest. So, with what little variety there is, the band just misses the mark again and again. Sure, the metal portions sound okay, and the strings sound wonderful, but I find myself just wanting to hear a Myrath album instead.
Overall, beauty and monotony clash here. The album is admittedly profound lyrically, but lacking musically and creatively. All in all, a good album, but not something I will listen to much more.
The band was included in our Podcast #23 and you can listen 'Ya Benaye' HERE.

6 things successful people do while they take a shit.
For human beings the call of nature is an inevitable truth of the life, nobody can escape it, we all need to go to the loo during the day.
Successful people understand that their success as well as their mental and physical health depends very much the precise management of their time they spent on the bog. That's why pooping routines are a key ritual for so many of them; and why the very first thing most successful people do before taking a shit is to drop their pants.
1. They drop their pants.
Successful people understand that dropping ones pants before taking a dump is a crucial part to prevent unpleasant accidents that will prevent them of having a overall successful day. There is nothing more disturbing than caught odours or visible stains for business partners and colleagues, of which successful people are especially aware of.
2. They exercise their brains.
Successful people know how to utilise the time they sit and shit. Instead of doodling around on the wall, they exercise their brains with Sudoku and 2048 or read the newest issue of The Economist, NYT or Playboy. Successful people know exactly how beneficial these activities are for their success in life and at work, so doing these activities in their spare time will increase their overall success.
3. They plan their next steps.
Successful people plan precisely what they do after they finished. From the number of toilet tissue sheets they use over the best way to wash their hands quickly to the time they inspect their successful creation.
4. They keep their social networks alive.
While networking with your business contacts is best done on a face to face basis, successful people know that they can utilise the time on the loo to have quick calls with their best friends to organise informal social gatherings. Successful people understand the benefits of these social gatherings for their mental and physical health and offer a welcoming relief from a hard day at work.
5. They unplug and disconnect from work.
Truly successful people do anything but work while pooping, they never check their email, and they try not to dwell on work-related issues. Successful people give themselves a buffer period between the time they read their last email and the time they wipe their bum. The idea is to get your head out of work before you sit down.
6. They are proud.
Finally, truly successful people know the benefits of intrinsic motivation. This motivation is achieved through the realisation of one's own successes. Here, the inspection of their creation is a perfect way to get a sense of achievement, which has a positive effect on one's psychology.

Arizona Game and Fish Commission Passes Regulation to Prohibit Primates as Pets
The Arizona Game and Fish Commission passed a regulation to prohibit the future private possession of primates such as baboons, macaque monkeys and capuchins. The Governor's Regulatory Review Council recently approved the measure, which takes effect on Dec. 5, 2015. Kellye Pinkleton, Arizona state director for The Humane Society of the United States, issued the following statement:
"Primates are highly social and intelligent animals, and private citizens are ill-equipped to provide for them sufficiently. We commend the Arizona Game and Fish Commission for passing this sensible regulation that not only protects the animals, but also protects residents from dangers related to attacks as well as potentially deadly viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections that pet primates can spread to people. Arizona joins the majority of other states that already prohibit keeping primates as pets. These animals belong in the wild and in accredited zoos, not someone's backyard or basement."
With Arizona's new policy, 27 states now prohibit the private possession of dangerous primates. The HSUS is advocating for passage of federal legislation in Congress, H.R. 2920, the Captive Primate Safety Act, to prohibit the interstate commerce and Internet purchases of primates for the pet trade.

Well as I expected Bernie Sanders has finally endorsed Hillary Clinton for the democratic nominee. Let's be clear, Bernie Sanders has stated over and over again that he will support Hillary if she was to become the nominee. But as predicted right wingers are mocking Sanders supporters for senator Sanders selling out to the establishment. Simply Bernie Sanders knows that to much is a stake to let any current republican nominee inherit the Whitehouse. Most of us who don't have our heads in the sand can simply see that the Supreme Court's future will be determined by either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. The Republican Party have enjoyed the spoils of corruption with a right leaning
Supreme Court for over thirty years. If you think things are bad now wait until you have a new right wing Supreme Court which will pretty much strip what ever rights we have left. Now let's analyze Hillary and her career and views on political matters. She was for the war in Iraq. Then she was against it when she found out there were no WMD's. She was for the Trans Pacific Partnership treaty. Yes a treaty not a trade deal. Now that Bernie Sanders has made his points known on the TPP, she has backtracked on that as well. And finally but not least she has stated that she will fight for a public option on Obama's watered down so called Affordable care act.
Bernie Sanders probably knows that Hillary does not share his view points. But all the same she will always be better then the alternative (Trump). Now let's be real for a minute. By some miracle if a political revolution were to occur and Bernie was some how to win the general election. Not a single piece of legislation would ever be passed. So by if some miracle Bernie's political revolution were to happen and his legislation were able to pass congress, he would undoubtably suffer the same fate as president Lincoln or Kennedy. In my opinion the special interests behind the thrown would never let Sanders agenda ever happen. So basically in a nutshell Bernie Sanders only supports Hillary Clinton for the simple fact that republicans must not retain control of the Supreme Court. As for me I am not a die hard supporter of Hillary Clinton. And for those who think she will introduce legislation that she has promise to pass, I find it laughable. And thats the majority of the American voter. We always believe that our candidates will do what they say and when they win office we get nothing. For instance my prediction will be that she will support the TPP. The public option will never see the light of day. The so called war on terror will get bigger, and Guantanamo Bay will stay open for business. She will be an exact mirror image of the Obama presidency that does nothing but compromise and pass watered down legislation while doing nothing to repair the true issues that we truly face. Get ready for no change in 2017.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The trial of the son of late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and 36 others was adjourned to later this month after Seif al-Islam's lawyer, appointed by the government, failed to turn up to the session, lawyers and the official news agency reported Sunday.
The session in Tripoli was linked by video conferencing to the city of Zintan, where the junior Gadhafi is held. Eight other defendants also appeared by video link from the city of Misrata. The official news agency LANA said only 31 defendants attended the trial.
Defense lawyer Ibrahim Abu-Ayesha said the brief session was adjourned after the judge found that the lawyer assigned to Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, Samiha al-Kasseh, failed to appear at the session, the third since the trial opened. It was not clear why the lawyer failed to show up. When asked if he had any requests, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi responded briefly by saying: "Just your good health," a polite expression to indicate that he wants nothing.
The judge also gave the lawyers permission to review the case documents.
The 37 defendants face a variety of charges mainly relating to the killing of protesters during the 2011 civil war that led to Gadhafi's ouster. Charges include recruiting mercenaries, who were given Libyan nationality, planning and carrying out attacks on civilian targets from the air, forming armed groups, and shooting into crowds of demonstrators, among others. The last prime minister under Gadhafi, Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, and his notorious spymaster Abdullah al-Senoussi are also on trial.
Journalists were not allowed to enter the courtroom and watched the proceedings over three screens in an adjacent room.
The trial was adjourned for May 25.

It simply would not work, colors were washed out, the taskbar was cut off, etc. I tried everything I could, but with no success. So I am in the market for a 22-26in HDTV around $300-$500. I already have all the cables I need, a DVI to HDMI cable, and a 3.5mm headphone jack to RCA cable. Do you recommend any HDTV? What HDTV do you have connected to your Mac Mini? Is the taskbar cutoff?

Why is it that some are always learning?
But never, come to the knowledge of the truth?
And their ever open minds,
Refuse to hear,
A reasonable offer.
Humbly I extend the hope I have received
Careful not to pass judgement,
Or impose my beliefs.
But I can no longer apologize,
For what I hold most dear.
And with humility,
I attempt to live my life with a sincerity,
That can bridge gaps.
And know that by abstaining from things of this world
I am not condemning you,
But I'm choosing as you choose,
To follow what I know to be true.

Todd Proa is a Port Charlotte, Florida-based coach and physical education professional with years of experience working with youths and student athletes. While his career has been focused on coaching swimming and soccer, Todd has a passion for all sports and athletic training.
Todd Proa's Swimming Experience
Most of Todd Proa's experience comes from coaching swimming, on the high school level in particular. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and Science from Cleveland State University in 1993, Todd accepted a position as the Director of Aquatics for the Warrensville Heights Parks and Recreations Department. In this capacity, Todd was responsible for maintenance and repair of the pool area.

Bright Side of Down
Jump to navigation
His songs sound like the rest of us feel...dazed, angry, amazed and climbing.
Mixing the roots-rock sounds of Bruce Springsteen with the storytelling sensibility of Nanci Griffith is Drew Nelson on his Red House Records debut Tilt-A-Whirl. Drawing from his years on the road and the people he's met along the way, the 10 tracks introduce us to a cast of characters from out-of-work war vets, forsaken lovers, to migrant workers and other directionless souls. Drew brings their sad and beautiful working class stories to life as they struggle to hold on to their hopes and dreams as they get jostled and spun like the carnival ride that lends it's name to this modern Americana classic.

Sightseeing Along The Ho Chi Minh Trail on Two Wheels – Trip Report
The last time I was on the back of a motorbike my age was still being counted in months, and, needless to say, the bike wasn't started. My friends had never been on one. But two wheels are a way of life in Vietnam, and the opportunity to travel the 200km from the lantern speckled city of Hoi An to the bustling city of Hue with Hue Riders was more than enticing. So we bundled our bags on the tour bus with the rest of the group and set off for sightseeing along the Ho Chi Minh Trail on two wheels.
Visit Fort Scott Kansas For a Memorable Dose of Americana and The Old West
There are numerous well-known sites where travelers can experience a combination of beautiful nature, local history and an atmosphere of Americana. I'm "allergic" to touristy sites but a recent trip out West brought us the opportunity to enjoy all of these elements in a friendly atmosphere of good old welcoming Kansas hospitality.
Friends suggested that we stop off in Fort Scott Kansas, a small town of fewer than 10,000 residents. I had never heard of Fort Scott before this trip but I was glad that we made the effort to spend a day there. Fort Scott may never be known as one of America's ten most popular travel sites but we appreciated the chance to relax and walk around the cultural and historical sites of the city.
Where to Experience Aboriginal Life In Australia
One Of The Top Activities When Visiting Australia is to Experience Aboriginal Life
When a guy from Perth decides to go on a vacation, I think the natural thing to do is look for something completely different to experience. My friend and I decided that Australia's North Queensland or more specifically Cairns, would be the right place to look for that welcomed change of scenery. My friend suggested that Cairns has a "blend of modern and ancient with nice beaches, hospitable sea and lots of Sun". It was fantastic.
Of course, considering how long it had been since I had taken a proper vacation, I was bound to be thrilled unless I got shot, stabbed or bitten by one of the poisonous Aussie animals, of which there are plenty. Never the less, I believe Northern Queensland would be equally enjoyable even if I went there every year.
Swim With Dolphin in The Wild in Nelson Bay Australia
Having the opportunity to swim with dolphins in the wild is one of the best experiences a person can possibly have in a lifetime. At least this is exactly how it felt to me. It's a rare treat to find a destination where you can swim with Dolphin in the wild, which is what makes a visit to Nelson Bay Australia so exciting.
Dolphins are incredible creatures. They are not only beautiful and friendly, but also super intelligent. Take the opportunity to be part of the natural environment of dolphins, to be there and see the way they play and live, to closely look at them and see them looking back – all these are moments that can undoubtedly warm the heart of everyone, even people who are not huge dolphin-lovers. Swimming with dolphins in Nelson Bay, Australia, I had a time which will remain in my mind and heart for the rest of my life.
Sightseeing Beyond The Taj Mahal – Visit Fascinating Agra!
Agra is a fascinating city. Capital of the Mughal Empire for a hundred and thirty years, Agra is endowed with beautiful archaeological sites of immense historic significance. The first of these that comes to mind is, of course the Taj Mahal. The beauty and fame of the Taj is so widespread that visitors often make day trips from Delhi exclusively to visit this glorified tomb and return immediately. But there's so much more to Agra than the Taj Mahal; so I got myself an Agra tour guide and set off to explore this intriguing city.
My first stop was Agra Fort. This fortress was originally a brick structure from the 10th century. When the Mughals took it over, it got its new and present avatar of red sandstone under Emperor Akbar.
Explore Essex MA – Where New Historic Walking Tour is a Treat
I recently gave myself an indulgent present on my birthday and spent a wonderful day exploring the quaint town of Essex, Massachusetts with my husband. I must say it was one of my best birthdays ever. Essex is located north of Boston in Cape Ann,bordered by Gloucester and Rockport. Although I've driven through many times, I had never stopped to explore. When I learned about the newly introduced Historic Walking Tour of Essex, I though it would make the perfect day away for my birthday celebration.
Experiencing the Beauty and Excitement of Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe glows a deep, dark blue in the sun, dramatically framed by mountains and forest. Because the lake undergoes a natural process called deep mixing, plant matter that drops to the bottom decays properly in an oxygen rich environment, preventing the nutrients that fuel algae growth. As a result, Lake Tahoe is incredibly clear and beautiful. Located in the nothern Sierra Nevada mountains is the second deepest lake in North America and straddles two states and five different counties. That's not what makes it exceptional though.
Climbing The Rocky Shores of Imprisoning Isles Off The Coast of Marseilles
Four rocky islands sit off the coast of Marseilles' Old Port, but two in particular have considerable historic appeal. Those familiar with the Count of Monte Cristo will recognize the first worth visiting, Isle d'If, a jutting outpost-turned-19th century prison, where author Alexandre Dumas' father was once wrongfully imprisoned. The second, Ratonneau, is larger, longer, haunting and beautiful: a nature preserve dotted with forests, coves and wildlife overseen by an old, abandoned hospital on the top of its highest cliffs. These two comprise a memorable day-long escape amidst any tour of southern France, and I recently had the opportunity to experience them for myself.
The Great Ocean Road – Australia's Most Scenic Road Trip
Highlights of a Road Trip along Australia's Great Ocean Road
What makes the Great Ocean Road so great? Although there are countless scenic coastal drives you can take in Australia, it's the rugged beauty and show-stopping scenery that really sets this one apart. You'll spot the remnants of Victorian shipwrecks and migrating whales from the top of these sheer, thrilling cliffs, along with the following highlights.
Portland Oregon – A Great Fall Vacation Destination
The fall is the perfect time to plan a quick vacation, especially if the region you live in is isolated from seasonal changes. I must admit that fall is one of my favorite times of year. There's nothing like camping out under the stars on a crisp September or October night. The greens, browns, reds, oranges, and yellows that color the trees are a treat to see.
When considering a trip this fall, put Portland, Oregon on your list. This city is a prime spot for an unforgettable vacation.
While it's not one of those major U.S. cities where tourists fill the streets, it is truly a unique city where you can experience the very scenic outdoors; go hiking, see the beautiful Japanese influences on the city, or indulge in the local food craze. It's a city with unique charm that should not be missed.
Hold On To Summer Just A Bit Longer – Hilton Head Island Trip Report
We've just spent a few magical days on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina and I've come to realize that Fall months may well be the perfect time to visit this delightful island. The throngs of summer visitors who love this island so well have departed, the weather is summer-like still, golf courses are lush and green, and it's the beginning of oyster season! Vacationers visiting Hilton Head Island in the next few months will share the experience with locals who come out of hiding to reclaim their beloved island and celebrate the bounties and warm weather of the fall season.
Bethel Inn's Guaranteed Performance Golf School Is A Sensational Way To Improve Your Game
About The Guaranteed Performance Golf School
The first thing you should know about Bethel Inn's golf school is that the student/instructor ratio is 3:1, meaning everyone gets lots of personal attention and the coach and students can actually play a round of golf together. I knew straight away that I was going to like golf pro, Mark Mallory, when he scolded husbands about shouting "Keep Your Head Down!" to their wives – explaining that was not the true problem. Golf pros Mark and Niko escorted us to the dedicated golf training range where they put us through our paces and reveled all kinds of wonderful golf tips…. Wondering how much to bend your knees? Simple, "Imagine you're standing in your ski boots." – brilliant!
Visit Connecticut's Fan Favorite – Niantic, For A Great Seaside Getaway
The State of Connecticut recently ran a "Fan Favorite" campaign for residents and visitors to vote for their favorite town in Connecticut. The winner was the charming town of Niantic, a village of East Lyme, located a short distance from Mystic. I had never been to the Connecticut shore, so just had to see what everyone was raving about. My visit just so happened to coincide with a visit by Governor Malloy who was presenting the town with a video. It all started with a video the town submitted to the Fan Favorite contest, have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM0tROLWfVY . After one day in Niantic I knew exactly why this wonderful small town was voted Connecticut's favorite town.
3 Magnificent Mediterranean Islands Worth Exploring: Malta, Gozo and Comino
These three islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino are unknown to many international travelers, but are situated in the Mediterranean sea, in close proximity to Italy.
Malta is a magnificent country that most visitors fall in love with, once they walk the beautiful little streets of Valletta, Mdina, Vitorioso or any other little town or village. Each of them is filled with history, magnetism and Mediterranean spirit! Almost all exhibit buildings in shades of yellow, making streets look nicer and brighter. The architecture is a mixture of varying styles, which somewhat reminds me of Sicily.
There's No Place Like Maine For A Summer Getaway – Sunshine, Beaches, Boating and Lobster
Throwing caution to the wind we decided to try to escape to the coast of Maine during the busiest week of the summer season. Summer doesn't officially begin in New England until July 4th, and this year a heat wave only heightened everyone's desire to getaway. Finding a last minute room anywhere in Maine during the July 4th weekend was unlikely, but after scanning a few bed and breakfast sites, we were lucky to grab a room at the Dockside Guest Quarters in York Maine. This is truly one of the most picturesque and quiet settings in the York Harbor/ Ogunquit area. The inn is located on Harris Island and affords their quests beautiful waterfront views.
We were looking for peace and quiet and busy hotels and 4th of July crowds were not for us during this weekend getaway. We arrived while the inn was setting up for afternoon tea which offered quite a delicious spread, and the view was breathtaking.
Sesame Street Place, Perfect For A Magical Toddler Birthday Adventure
We recently visited Sesame Place for my son's 2nd birthday, and what a wonderful experience it was.
Sesame Place is the only theme park that is based entirely on the Sesame Street television program. It is located 90 minutes south of New York City in Langhome, Philadelphia. We decided to go a little early in the season to avoid summertime crowds and spent two action packed days at the park.
Guernsey Trip Report – A French Island Paradise in Britain
The lovely island of Guernsey, a unique blend of French and British culture is located in the English Channel, 30 miles off the northwestern coast of France and only a 50-minute flight from London Gatwick. Guernsey is a self-governing British Crown dependency, that has been influenced by nearby France through the centuries. Why am I telling you this? Personally I feel it is this fusion of French and British cultures that makes Guernsey so unique and attractive. The language spoken is English, but there is still a Guernsey patois French spoken by some of the population. You'll also find the majority of the roads are named in French. Every aspect of island life is a charming Anglo-Franco fusion.
A Traveler's Guide To Shopping In Hong Kong
Whilst on a journey through Hong Kong, I encountered some of the most exquisite and beautiful places. You can't quite imagine it without seeing it for yourself, but I'll do my best to tempt you with my portrayal of this striking city.
My adventure began at the Temple Street Night Market, not far from the ancient temple of Tin Hau. The Night Market is alive with locals of an evening, selling all sorts of wares. There are cute little tea sets, watches, and charming antiques made out of Jade and other precious materials. For me personally the finest of these wares was the traditional food sold at some of the market stalls, such as the Five-layer Roast Pork and the Roast Pigeon.
St. Augustine Florida, A Perfect Blend of History and Seacoast Fun
Located approximately 30 miles south of Jacksonville is the coastal city of St. Augustine, Florida, a city rich in Spanish colonial architecture and North American history.
St. Augustine the oldest city in America, is home to 450 years' of history from its founding by Spanish explorers in the 16th Century, to the elegance of Flagler College founded in 1968. A great deal of North American history can be discovered in St. Augustine as well as sun and fun sea coast activities that attract families from across the country. Of the many delights of St. Augustine, here are my favorites:
Is It Crazy To Love An Island? Meet St. Simons Island Georgia
I've fallen in love with an island destination, and it might surprise you to know that it's not in the Caribbean. In fact, you can drive there! But be forewarned, after visiting you may want to sell everything and move to St. Simons Island, Georgia! St. Simons Island lies 12 miles off the coast […]

Perhaps you have made your homemade sweet chilli sauce and fancy something that will go well with it. Recently I had it with some chickpea and tuna burgers. I have made them based upon what we had in a fridge, freezer and cupboards. I wanted to cook a dinner that firstly will not require additional shopping and secondly will comfort mine appetite, that recently is so not into meat and also will not live my dear meat eater hungry. So this is improvisation and have to say it was very successful.
makes about 12
about 200g dry chickpea
2 x 175g tins of tuna (in oil)
1 small onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 small red chilli, chopped
1 small red chilli, chopped
handful of fresh coriander (I used frozen, as I have some in the freezer)
2 small eggs, beaten
2 level tbsp of ground cumin
juice of half lemon
freshly ground black pepper
some gram flour
oil for frying (I used sunflower)
lime wedges for serving (optional)
Soak the chickpea in a water overnight, then drain, cover with fresh water, add some salt and cook over a low heat until tender. Then drain and let it cool down.
Soak the chickpea in a water overnight, then drain, cover with fresh water, add some salt and cook over a low heat until tender. Then drain and let it cool down.
Fry the onion in little oil over a low heat - it should be softened but not browned. Just before you finish frying the onion add the chilli and garlic and fry for about 1 minute. Remove from a heat and leave it to cool down.
Place the chickpea on a food processor and whiz until coarse in consistency - it should not be smooth, but it still should keep some of its texture. Place in a bowl.
Flake a tuna using a fork and place in the bowl. I did not drain mine, as it was in very little oil. Then add the fried onion, chilli, garlic, coriander, eggs, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands.
Next wet your hands and form small burgers, then dip them in a gram flour and place onto a chopping board.
Heat a decent amount of oil in a frying pan _ you don't want to deep fry the burgers, but they should be dipped in a fat about half way. Fry on both sides until golden, remove from a pan and sit aside on a paper kitchen roll to drain the excess of oil.
I served these burgers with roast potato wadges, lime wedges, sweet chilli sauce and some iceberg salad with Thai inspired dressing.
Thai inspired salad dressing
2 tbsp groundnut oil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp fish sauce (nam pla)
juice of half lime
pinch of chilli powder
Place all of the ingredients in a jar, seal and shake until mixed. Wash and chop the salad, place in a bowl, add dressing just before serving, mix well and divide between plates. Sprinkle with some dry roasted cumin seeds.
Bon appetite!

The growing numbers and clout of Hispanic-Americans is a long-running story in American politics. And politicians are anything but bored by it.
The top contenders for next year's presidential nominations are doing all they can to appeal to Hispanics, who are projected to become the country's largest minority group in five years. They are already nearly one-third of the population in California and Texas, both crucial states in presidential electoral politics.
Congressional candidates are paying attention to these voters too. It's estimated that 25 to 30 House seats could hinge on Hispanic votes.
Al Gore and George W. Bush have made a point of saying a few words in Spanish as they promote their candidacies. Their chief competitors, Democrat Bill Bradley and Republicans Elizabeth Dole and John McCain, are no less sensitive to these voters.
But appealing to Americans of Latin background is a delicate art. Their heritages trace back to dozens of different countries. Contrary to popular perception, well over half the country's nearly 30 million Hispanics were born in the United States.
Many are poor, but nearly three-quarters of Hispanic families live above the poverty line, according to Census data. Almost 70 percent of these families are married-couple households.
And their political instincts can swing to opposite poles. Many of California's Hispanic millions are reflexively anti-GOP in the wake of the passage of Prop 187, which was strongly backed by former Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican. That ballot initiative prohibited giving state benefits and services to illegal immigrants - most of whom come from Mexico, as originally did most of California's larger Hispanic community. By contrast, Florida's largely Cuban, anti-Castro Latin community has usually been solidly conservative and Republican.
But polls indicate the chief concerns of Hispanic-Americans merge with those of voters generally: crime and drugs, education, the economy.
What's going on here, inexorably, is the rise of a significant part of the citizenry to full participation in society. It's a process common to most immigrant groups, though most have been smaller and less closely tied to their countries of origin. Families and individuals, just arrived or here for a generation or two, are figuring out how to reconcile their ancestral cultures and languages to those of their new land. Increasingly, they're seeing people of their own ethnic heritage rise to prominence in business, sports, entertainment - or politics.
It's assimilation at its most meaningful - recruiting more Americans for the work of improving their democracy.

Damien Oliver's tumultuous spring carnival took another twist on Melbourne Cup day when he was criticised for his ride on the favoured Americain while the threat of a long suspension hangs over him.
The Victorian government has been called on to step in to give stewards more authority to ban jockeys after reports Oliver had admitted betting on a rival horse were published on Cup day.
Oliver lost rides in the Cox Plate and Caulfield Cup when claims were first aired last month that he had placed a $10,000 on Miss Octopussy in a race at Moonee Valley two years ago, also prompting calls for him to be immediately banned.
But he found favour with some trainers, winning last week's Victoria Derby on Fiveandahalfstar and scoring the ride on 2010 Cup winner Americain on Tuesday.
But Americain's trainer Alain de Royer Dupre was disappointed with Oliver's ride in bringing home the French stayer, which started second favourite, in 11th place.
De Royer Dupre said Americain looked like he had not even had a run when he returned to the mounting yard.
Oliver had enjoyed success earlier in the day when he posted a win on Walk With Attitude in the Lexus Hybrid Plate, but he avoided media questions about the scandal.
"It's nice to get a win for (Americain's owner) Gerry (Ryan) before the Melbourne Cup," Oliver said as he returned to scale.
"I hope I can get a running double for him."
Oliver has known for some months he was under investigation which became public when Fairfax Media reported he placed the bet.
On Tuesday, Fairfax reported he had admitted the bet to officials.
Ryan says he has not asked any questions of Oliver regarding the betting scandal.
Ryan called Oliver up to ride Americain in Tuesday's Cup after sacking Frenchman Gerald Mosse following the horse's fourth in the Caulfield Cup.
The Victorian opposition has called on the government to stop the scandal causing further damage to racing in the state.
Shadow racing minister Martin Pakula accused the government of "prevarication bordering on negligence" by refusing to grant racing authorities the powers to suspend jockeys.
Racing Victoria chief executive Rob Hines would not comment on the ongoing affair but said he expected the investigation to be completed soon.
And Victorian racing minister Denis Napthine said in a statement Racing Victoria operated separately from the government and it would be inappropriate for him to comment.
Mr Pakula said the government could introduce legislation which would give Racing Victoria the powers they have been asking for.
Mr Pakula said there was "absolutely no reason" to deny Racing Victoria the powers that Queensland Racing and New South Wales Racing have already got.

text: Here's 5 of the worst health habits ever! Falling Asleep with Your Makeup On! What's the big deal? If you're lucky, sleeping in a face full of makeup will only leave behind a pimple or two. But make it an all-the-time thing and you're asking for clogged pores and a breeding ground for bacteria to run wild on. The worst culprit? Foundation, according to Elissa Lunder, MD, FITNESS advisory board member and owner of Dermatology Partners, Inc. in Massachusetts. In some cases, Dr. Lunder has even seen people develop milia -- small, hard bumps that form on the skin. And while she says sleeping in eye makeup won't cause your lashes to fall out or give you pinkeye (whew!), dozing in mascara can cause eye swelling. But don't stop the suds at your face! Forgetting to wash your brushes can lead to staph infections as well as aid in spreading cold sores or other illnesses. Um...gross? Break it: If you had a late night and find yourself waking up to raccoon eyes, wash your face with a normal cleanser and a washcloth. Steer clear of facial scrubs, which will only irritate the skin more, says Dr. Lunder. If you're guilty of this beauty blunder more than once a week, stock up on pre-moistened makeup clothes, which Dr. Lunder says is better than nothing. Since the bathroom sink is filled with fungus, mold, mildew, and bacteria, make sure your brushes are on a clean towel, and aim to wash them once a week in hot, soapy water. If you have a cold sore, toss any sponges or products (like lipstick) that came in contact with it. Dozing Off in Your Contacts! What's the big deal? Waking up with your lenses in is a bigger issue than just dry eyes. "I've treated hundreds of infections over the years and 95 percent of them are due to people sleeping in their contacts," says Robert Cykiert, MD, a New York-based ophthalmologist at NYU Langone Medical Center. "You have anywhere from a 300 percent to 1000 percent increased risk of developing serious infections of the cornea by sleeping in contacts." He's seen it all, from bacterial infections that cause cornea scarring and result in permanent vision reduction to more severe cases where an infection leads to having to get a cornea transplant. Sleeping in your contacts also makes you more susceptible to giant papillary conjunctivitis, where you develop an allergic reaction to contact lenses. Break it: Keep your peepers in pristine condition by practicing good hygiene. Always wash your hands before putting your lenses in and use new disinfectant solution every time you take them out. "I've seen people add new solution to their old, used solution," says Dr. Cykiert. "It's like taking a bath and using the same water the next day." Just by practicing these two simple things you reduce your risk should you happen to fall asleep wearing your contacts, since you won't have bacteria trapped on your eyes all night. If you wake up and your eyes are irritated, wear your glasses the following day to give yourself time to recover. If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours, see an ophthalmologist. And if you still have trouble remember to clean your lenses properly, get daily disposable ones that you wear for one day and toss at night. Forgetting to Floss Daily! What's the big deal? Brushing cleans the front and back of your teeth but your toothbrush has a hard time reaching foods that get stuck in between. Marc Liechtung, DDS, a dentist at Manhattan Dental Arts in New York says that any food that gets stuck between your teeth has a chance at turning into bacteria that can eat away at the enamel and cause decay. Not only can this cause cavities, it can also lead to gum disease, root canals, and even tooth loss. Break it: While proper nutrition helps (aka laying off the sweet stuff), Dr. Liechtung says to brush three times a day if possible, always down and away from the gums. As for flossing, do it right before you go to bed so there's no food to do any damage while you sleep. For those not keen on flossing, try a Waterpik, an oral irrigator that clears away food using a water jet. Chowing Down Fast Food Too Often! What's the big deal? If you find yourself speeding through the drive-thru every day, you may want to supersize your workout plan instead of that combo meal. Twice a month is not a big deal, says Kathy McManus, RD, a FITNESS advisory board member and director of the department of nutrition at Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston, but do it too often and you're prone to weight gain and a slew of health issues. That's because fast food is low in nutrients and high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium. The majority of breads are refined and most meals are scarce on the veggies. True, there are proteins, but they are usually breaded and fried, and portion sizes are out of control. "Studies show you can actually become addicted to salt, sugar and fat and develop cravings for them," says McManus. "Fast food has all of these things combined." Break it: McManus says to start by taking a baseline inventory of how much fast food you are eating by writing it down for two weeks. Next, reduce your trips by one to two times a week. Take easy steps, such as bringing a bag of apples to work for the week if you tend to eat fast food around your 3 p.m. snack time. And spend some time online for better options. A lot of restaurants let you build your own sandwiches and salads so you can have more control over your calories. Guzzling Too Much Alcohol! What's the big deal? We look forward to our after-work happy hours, but pounding down several in one sitting can result in the obvious hangover and possibly some other unpleasant side effects. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), excessive drinking may disrupt menstrual cycling and increase the risk of infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature delivery. The CDC found that women who binge drink are more likely to have unprotected sex with multiple partners, which could lead to increased risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Not only is a woman's risk of liver disease higher than a man's, the CDC also reported that alcohol consumption increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, colon, and breast among women. Break it: So how much is too much? McManus says the moderate level of alcohol consumption for women is about a drink per day. If you're worried, write down how much you drink in a two-week span and then reduce that amount over time if it's a bit excessive. "Try planning when you're going to be drinking at the beginning of the week," she suggests. "Or if you know you're going to be out for a while, have a mocktail first, then order a cocktail."
