Streaming audio from your phone to a Bluetooth speaker is something many of us have done for a long time, but what about your PC? With the necessary hardware installed on your Windows 10 desktop, laptop or even tablet, you can get the same, wire-free audio experience.
Here's how you set it up.
How to pair a new Bluetooth device in Windows 10
Just follow these easy steps:
- Open Settings.
- Navigate to Devices.
- Click Bluetooth & other devices in the left sidebar.
- Set the toggle switch at the top to On.
- To add a new device click add Bluetooth or other device.
- Select Bluetooth.
- Choose the device from the list.
For some Bluetooth devices you'll need to enter a PIN to confirm pairing, but once it's done you're all set. A Bluetooth speaker will connect just like headphones, and it should now be the default audio output when it's on and paired with your PC.
An easy way to check this in the latest Windows 10 update is to select the speaker icon in the bottom right corner near the clock. Clicking on this will tell you the current audio output, and if you need to change in a hurry, the ^ icon will quickly open up all your available options.
If you'd like to do this on your PC but you don't have Bluetooth built-in, all is not lost. You could always pick up a USB dongle that can affordably add the ability to your computer. Or, if you're in the mood for upgrading internals, some Wi-Fi cards also come with Bluetooth built-in.
Updated May 31, 2018: We refreshed this guide to ensure it's correct for the Windows 10 April Update.

Audition: Progress Premieres 2019
(performances 1 - 4 May 2019)
Sun 13 January 2.30pm & Thu 17 January 7.30pm
at Progress Theatre
There will be a read through of both plays at Progress Theatre on Wed 12 December at 7.30pm – all welcome. Doors open 7.00pm.
Peter's Wife by Christine Moran, directed by Aidan Moran
Nick and Michelle are desperate to have a baby. Peter and Julie have a 5-year-old daughter but their marriage is disintegrating. Anna and Sam have only been married a short time – Anna doesn't want children, but she doesn't really know what she wants. Or does she? By turns funny, surprising and sad, this play follows the relationships between these six people, seen through the eyes of Peter's wife as she narrates the story, shown in a series of flashbacks.
The Parts:
- Peter – 30s-50s ∙
- Julie – Peter's wife - 30s-40s
- Anna – around 30 ∙
- Sam – Anna's wife – 30s-50s
- Nick – Julie's brother – 30 ∙
- Michelle – Nick's wife – 20s-30s
Equivocators by Dan Clarke, directed by Kate Shaw
Set during the aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, William Shakespeare arrives at the home of Ben Jonson in search of the missing pages of the Scottish play he is writing. The play's title comes from a treatise encouraging English Catholics to "equivocate" under questioning - telling the truth about their religious allegiance would get them killed, but to lie about their faith was a sin in the eyes of God. At the heart of Equivocators lies the relatively unexplored, yet historically plausible supposition, about Jonson and Shakespeare's roles in the Gunpowder Plot conspiracy and the on-going effects of the suspicion they faced in the months afterwards.
How do these two men of words argue about (among other things) one of the most pivotal moments in English history – when saying the wrong thing can get you killed?
The Parts:
- Ben (M) – 20s-40s ∙
- Will (M) – 30s-50s
(Ages are flexible – it is more important to find two actors who complement each other, than get correct relative/historically accurate ages)
If you would like any further information, or are interested in auditioning but can't make either date, please contact Producer Chris Moran at firstname.lastname@example.com or on 07729 501350, or the relevant director: Aidan Moran – firstname.lastname@example.com or Kate Shaw – email@example.com

After 17 years of being a member at the same gym I decided it was time to move on.
When I called to cancel, the Customer Service operator went above and beyond to retain me as a member. I was offered a month of free personal training sessions, reduced monthly fees and a "bring a friend free" card. The offers continued.
Why did I have to leave for them to tell me how much they loved me?

Javaherbin, Mina. (2010). GOAL! A. G. Ford. Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press.
Literary Genre: Multicultural/International (Picture Book)
Ajani has to get water from the well before dark, but his homework is finished, so first it's soccer time! Ajani and his friends must be careful as they play soccer because the streets are not safe in South Africa. When bullies come their way, Ajani and his friends are clever. The combination of repetitive phrases and detailed illustrations of bright blues and warm browns bring soccer to life and successfully highlights its power to bond the friends together during hard times.
I enjoyed this story because it allows readers to experience what it is like to be a young boy in South Africa. Ajani goes to school and plays with friends, but he also has responsibilities that most young boys in the United States do not, such as getting clean water and looking out for bullies that roam the streets. The illustrations represent a poor, dusty shantytown in South Africa; the boys have dirty, torn clothing; which is an accurate account of the environment and clothing of the area. Javaherbin provides an Author's Note that provides more background on the significance of soccer. The note shares that the people of South Africa (and other countries) play soccer in spite of war, poverty, bully rulers, unsafe alleys, revolution, and hardship. "They play to stay connected. They play to stay children. They play to stay human. But mostly, they play to play." Javaherbin does an excellent job of helping readers understand how this sport influences and inspires the people of South Africa this is what multicultural literature is intended to do.

Passing By
by PamFord Davis
Free to Share
After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.
When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them [emphasis mine] But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid. Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished (Mark 6:46-51 NASB).
Im reading a biography on the life of blind hymn writer, Fanny Crosby. She is credited with writing lyrics to over 8,000 hymns.(Wikipedia) I did not realize that she was also committed to mission work.
One of her well known hymns is titled Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior.
Lyrics: Frances J. Crosby / Music: William H. Doane
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in Heavn but Thee.
Wing His Words

text: 06.27: On this day in 1993, Lyle Lovett scored one for the everyman when he tied the knot with Julia Roberts. Yes, an odd combination, indeed, but just another in a long line of musician/celebrity marriages, as far as we're concerned. They played into the stereotype just as well as anyone else, with their "love 'em and leave 'em" attitude and their candle that burns twice as bright shtick. Everyone thinks it was Lyle that made out good with that relationship, but we say it was Julia because, well, Lyle is an awesome musician & singer and she is not.

Review: Red Apple Vegan Lipstick
I'm so glad to finally be reviewing the wonderful Red Apple Lipstick for you all! I've been trialling these lipsticks for a good few months, and all I can say is, the hype is dang real.
Red Apple Lipstick is a relatively new company, offering gorgeous natural lipsticks that are first and foremost, gluten-free, but also vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free and mostly dye-free. As well as these, they also offer a wide range of other products such as lip pencils, lip glosses, mascara and pressed eyeshadows (which I am DESPERATE to try). They first approached the radar after a read over at Britanie's blog, but recently they have taken the green beauty community by storm, and for a good reason. I signed up for their blogger program, and was lucky enough to be sent the shades Audrey* and Hibiskiss*. Audrey is a beautiful slightly plum-toned pink nude, and Hibiskiss is a true berry pink shade. Consequently, they actually look rather lovely when layered over each other.
Admittedly, they do look quite similar in the bullet - something that worried me upon first opening - but from the swatches you'll notice that they are both beautiful and unique shades. They also vary slightly in formula: Audrey being a sheeny, slightly sheerer consistency; and Hibiskiss, a slightly matte, more opaque option. Both shades were perfect to be wearing throughout autumn and I'm continuing to get a whole lot of use out of them as winter wades on. Both shades are super moisturising and I've never had them dry out my lips. Further to this, the staying power is truly something that I have never experienced. Natural lipsticks can often be quite 'wet', leading to transfer and general wear & tear throughout the day. However, I've found that these lipsticks really do stay in place, even after a hefty breakfast ;-)
As mentioned, the ingredients are all gluten-free and vegan. However, ingredients do vary depending on the lipstick's collection, so you can have a look at their full ingredients list here.
Now I also have to bring your attention to the stunning packaging. I've really never seen a natural lipstick look so luxurious and high-end! The bullets are a beautiful matte black, with a textured grip and a really, really satisfying click-close. However this quality (and it really is quality), is most definitely shown in the price of these lipsticks. They are rather pricey, and even more so for us UK-dwellers who will be paying some hefty shipping/customs fees on top of this. A lipstick retails for $23.50, however, there is always some kind of discount or coupon available so they're definitely still worth looking in to. You can actually sign up to their free VIP programme, and be sent a new coupon code every month! In fact, I insist that you do look in to them if you haven't already because I am truly enamoured by their lipsticks and frankly, I need more.

How to Celebrate the 3rd Sunday in Advent
Today is the 3rd Sunday in Advent — when we celebrate love in the context of Christmas. Here is a thought that we may find helpful today.
This Sunday and each Sunday, in most of our Unity churches, we often bless children and others by saying "I behold the Christ in you." Sometimes we sing the well-known song I Behold The Christ In You, written by Frank B. Whitney.
Have you thought about what that really means? Would you like to have that penetrate deep into your heart over the next two weeks? Would you like to be able to say that in the quiet of your heart when you are shopping for Christmas? When you are with friends and family? When you encounter people who are busy and people who are stressed? Would you like to be able to reflect back to them the Christ they are? Would you like to have the loving consciousness of Mr. Rogers, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa and Cesar Chavez?If so, here is a meditation by Rev. Tom Thorpe that is powerful enough to change our whole experience of Christmas over the next two weeks...

What to Think About When Buying a CondoTerohan Nula August 30, 2018 0 COMMENTS
Buying a new property like a condominium unit can be exciting. After all, this is a huge investment and a cause for celebration. But, purchasing a property is a major financial decision, too. You have to choose the right condo unit — one that meets your lifestyle, needs, and budget. Otherwise, you risk flushing your money down the drain on a condo that doesn't suit you.
Before making any decision, here are a few things you should keep in mind:
Think About the Location
The location should always be one of your priorities when looking for a condo to purchase — whether in Eden Prairie or other Minnesota city. Southwest Station Condominiums confirms that location is extremely an important factor, especially if you plan to sell your condo in the future. It affects the resale price of your condo and your chances of attracting many buyers.
Also, of course, you probably want a unit that is convenient for you and your family. So, always look for the nearest schools, train stations, bus stops, stores, malls, and the likes before buying a condo unit.
Learn About the Building Rules
All condominium buildings have different rules. After all, a wall is the only thing that separates you from your neighbors, so you need to be extra considerate when living in a condo unit.
Always ask your real estate agent about the building rules. If you have pets, then you should ask if pets are allowed to live in the building. Another thing to ask is if you can bring visitors any time.
Consider the Size of the Unit
This might be a no-brainer, but people sometimes forget to consider the size of the unit, especially if they are so excited about living in a condo.
Think about who will be staying in the unit. Are you going to live there alone or with your family? If you want to share the costs of buying a unit with someone else, then you might want to consider giving them their own personal space as well. Visit the unit to see if it is big enough for your needs.
Buying a condo unit is not an easy task. So, it would be best to have a real estate agent to help you check different units and decide on which one to buy.

Day 56: The prize is in the process.
So many firsts tonight. The first time I've been out of my head in weeks.
My first handstand.
My first lower, from plank to floor, no knees.
My first heels-on-the-floor down dog.
The first time ever I've felt as though my yoga was truly beautiful, the kind you dream of when you first start going to class.While I was busy trying to get out of my head, trying to cope with the stress of moving and traveling and running a business, I did a lot of really good yoga. My focus was so mental that I didn't really notice what was happening with my body. I was getting stronger, my movements more intentional and precise, my form improving by leaps and bounds. Blue Lotus has no mirrors, so I couldn't have seen this happen, especially given how preoccupied I've been with everything going on upstairs. I saw it tonight, with my eyes closed.
I was in my body, without a thought in my head other than the awareness of my posture, and it was beautiful, really mind-blowing yoga. The most perfect yoga I've ever done, in mindfulness, intention and form. If I had been doing yoga to get in shape or to accomplish something other than just being there, I would've quit months ago out of boredom. As per Rolf Gates, "when we are really practicing yoga and abiding by the principles of yoga, then we are making a commitment to focus on the nature of our efforts and not the nature of the results. ... When we focus on what we can get out of yoga, we miss the point. ... To realize the beauty of yoga in our lives, we must never forget that the prize is in the process."
This is true in yoga and in other parts of our lives as well. I've put so much into my business, focusing on the day to day, making sure that I present myself well and accurately, doing each treatment with the same commitment and enthusiasm as my first. One day, I look up, and my business is thriving. Wow. One day I look up and I'm in a handstand, my heels are on the floor in down dog, I'm in chaturanga inches from the floor. I'm happy. Look at that.
When we give up trying to control the end-result, stop striving for something larger than life, we find it in our enjoyment of the little things, in the amazing gifts that are bestowed upon us every day. When we believe in ourselves and in our power to succeed (often despite our best efforts to the contrary), we do more than we ever thought possible, without even trying.
So let go of the pressure to be someone you are not (yet). Revel in who you are, in this moment, this day. Be the most amazing version of that person that you can be, right now. And the person you are striving for? He'll show up.

Introduction: Exploring the brain for optimal locations for deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy is a challenging task, which can be facilitated by analysis of DBS efficacy in a large number of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores indicate the DBS efficacy of the corresponding stimulation location in a particular patient. The spatial distribution of these clinical scores can be used to construct a functional model which closely models the expected efficacy of stimulation in the region. Designs and Methods: In this study, different interpolation techniques were investigated that can appropriately model the DBS efficacy for Parkinson's disease patients. These techniques are linear triangulation based interpolation, 'roving window' interpolation and 'Monopolar inverse weighted distance' (MIDW) interpolation. The MIDW interpolation technique is developed on the basis of electric field geometry of the monopolar DBS stimulation electrodes, based on the DBS model of monopolar cathodic stimulation of brain tissues. Each of these models was evaluated for their predictability, interpolation accuracy, as well as other benefits and limitations. The bootstrapping based optimization method was proposed to minimize the observational and patient variability in the collected database. A simulation study was performed to validate that the statistically optimized interpolated models were capable to produce reliable efficacy contour plots and reduced false effect due to outliers. Some additional visualization and analysis tools including a graphic user interface (GUI) were also developed for better understanding of the scenario. Results: The interpolation performance of the MIDW interpolation, the linear triangulation method and Roving window method was evaluated as interpolation error as 0.0903, 0.1219 and0.3006 respectively. Degree of prediction for the above methods was found to be 0.0822, 0.2986 and 0.0367 respectively. The simulation study demonstrate that the mean improvement in outlier handling and increased reliability after bootstrapping based optimization (performed on Linear triangulation interpolation method) is 6.192% and 12.8775% respectively. The different interpolation techniques used to model monopolar and bipolar stimulation data is found to be useful to study the corresponding efficacy distribution. A user friendly GUI (PDRP_GUI) and other utility tools are developed. Conclusion: Our investigation demonstrated that the MIDW and linear triangulation methods provided better degree of prediction, whereas the MIDW interpolation with appropriate configuration provided better interpolation accuracy. The simulation study suggests that the bootstrapping-based optimization can be used as an efficient tool to reduce outlier effects and increase interpolated reliability of the functional model of DBS efficacy. Additionally, the differential interpolation techniques used for monopolar and bipolar stimulation modeling facilitate study of overall DBS efficacy using the entire dataset.

"One Two Buckle My Shoe" is a old nursery rhyme (first time published in 1805). But it is still popular among the kids, and it is used in many preschools and schools. One Two Buckle My Shoe is great for learning counting. But it can also be used while eating or giving babies food.
Lyrics To " One Two Buckle My Shoe"
One, two,
Buckle my shoe
Three, four,
Knock at the door
Five, six.
Pick up sticks;
Seven, eight,
Lay them straight
Nine, ten,
A big fat hen;
Eleven, twelve,
Dig and delve;
Thirteen, fourteen,
Maids a-courting;
Fifteen, sixteen,
Maids in the kitchen
Seventeen, eighteen,
Maids in waiting;
Nineteen, twenty,
My plates empty

If you haven't already read about it here, here, here or here . . . let me be the first to tell you that we won. It was a come from behind victory over the team that eliminated us from the 2007-2008 playoffs. It's always satisfying to beat the Lakers, even if it's pre-season and our All-Star doesn't play -- but Kobe and Pau both do. I did not watch the game, even though I've already paid for my NBA League Pass. The Boxscore does not appear to fully recognize the efforts of Ronnie Brewer who played much better against Kobe (in the 5 minutes that bean played in) -- Brewer was dunking on everyone's head like he had activated some cheat code. (For the people out there in the John McCain age bracket, click here to find out what a cheat code is) Brewer ended up with 13 points on 50% shooting.
Millsap had 13 points and 2 rebounds in the start, to contrast that, in one more minute of action Andrew Bynum had 15 points and 8 rebounds off the bench. I guess size does matter (6'8 vs. 7'0). Speaking of size, Fesenko had 5 defensive rebounds and 2 assists in 8 minutes of action. He continues to get killed on Utah sports talk radio -- but really, that's quite good. If he played Bynum minutes that adds up to 15 rebounds. Bynum only had 8. I fail to see the need to completely kill Fesenko for doing his job. Some people make it their job, though.
Deron Williams has 11 and 8 in two quarters and Mobe came off the bench to score more than Korver did (10 to 9) on 4 less shots. Lyde had a good game with 7 points and 2 blocks . . . clearly using his weight to his advantage. As great as all of that is, this game was interesting for a variety of reasons . . .
- Boozer did not play as he as (again) injured his hamstring
- Koufos played 2 minutes and also injured his leg (he did make the only shot he took though, so yeah, he continues to shoot the ball at a very high rate, 1 shot per 2 minutes -- for a point of reference, Deron Williams shot the ball 6 times in 24 minutes, or 1 shot per 4 minutes. Should our rookie Kosta be shooting more frequently than Deron? Why doesn't anyone talk about this?)
- Due to a variety of reasons (no Boozer, hence starting Millsap, hence the need to start CJ; no Harpring, so need vet off the bench), Andrei Kirilenko came off the bench and did an okay job. Also his psyche is stronger than some people give him credit for, and he didn't rock himself in a corner at the prospect of not starting. He was two blocks shy of having as many blocks as the entire Lakers team.
Injuries are going to be an issue this season, apparently. Kosta is down, and he's 19 years old. Boozer is down too, and Harpring is down. If this keeps up, Jerry Sloan may tell Kevin O' Conner not to tear up that Jarron Collins contract just yet.
Our 2nd game of the pre-season goes tonight at home vs. the Phoenix Suns. Should be interesting to see if the AK as a 6th man experiment continues. (Boozer, Kosta and Harpring are all out for this game, so I almost expect it) In good news, LHM will be at this game, so the Jazz better win.

Grand Rapids is known for premiere Ice Fishing in Minnesota. With close to a 1,000 lakes in Itasca County there is an abundance of opportunity for catching fish on ice.
We want to make sure that you use caution when heading out on area lakes. Early in the season (November into December) the ice is still forming. When is ice safe for ice fishing? That is a tough question to answer because there are so many factors. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, "you can't judge the strength of ice just by its appearance, age, thickness, temperature, or whether or not the ice is covered with snow. Strength is based on all these factors — plus the depth of water under the ice, size of the water body, water chemistry and currents, the distribution of the load on the ice, and local climatic conditions." Use caution when heading out on frozen waterways, and check out the MN DNR Ice Safety Resource Page before heading out. And remember, there is no ice that is truly safe. We suggest bringing a set of ice picks with you at all times when on the ice.
Ice Fishing Equipment
Ice Fishing in Minnesota can be a relatively inexpensive sport. You will need the basics:
Basic Ice Fishing Equipment Checklist:
o Minnesota Fishing License can purchase at most bait shops and area gas stations or Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
o Ice auger (manual or electric)
o Ice pick or chisel (used to check thickness of ice and to keep ice holes open)
o Ice scoop (to remove ice from hole and sometimes can be helpful in getting fish out of hole – saves your fingers)
o Ice fishing rod & reel
o Bait (check with local bait shop's)
o Bait system – jigs, lures, tips-ups: and remember you can only have 2 lines per person according to Minnesota regulations.
o Warm clothing and boots
o Hand warmers to put in gloves, mittens, boots and inside your jacket or snow pants.
o Something to sit on (small stool, easy to carry chair, or even a bucket with a lid – comes in handy to hold all equipment). Also bring a boat cushion to sit on and it can also be used as a flotation device that could save your life.
o Snacks & refreshments – Packing a few granola bars and water is a good idea.
o Flashlight (nice to have in case you stay out longer than expected)
o Tape measure – used to ensure the fish you caught you can keep in accordance to Minnesota Fishing Regulations, and nice to have when you want to brag when you catch the trophy.
Advanced Ice Fishing Equipment Checklist (things nice to have):
o Fish House – portable units are nice to transport out onto the ice and be mobile. They act as a nice place to store your ice fishing gear. With the influx of large wheel houses it gives the angler the capability of comfort, multiple angler participation, and most often not having to remove the structure from the ice every day. Make sure you check with the MN Department of Natural Resources for licensing of permanent ice houses.
o Heater – small portable units are reasonable in price and come in a variety of styles and heating potentials.
o Motorized Transportation – Most times early in the ice fishing season it is easy to walk out onto the ice. Later in the season the snow can get deep and motorized transport is nice to have. Four wheelers can be used when there is little or no snow, and if you add a plow to the front it helps you access on and off the lake. Snowmobiles will assist when the snow gets too high for four-wheeler transportation. These types of equipment are lighter in weight than a vehicle, but still use caution when traveling in any motorized unit. In winter conditions slush can be a problem so make sure you keep on an eye for unforeseen problems.
o Electronics – There are several different choices on the market. To satisfy your needs while ice fishing most often a quality flasher unit is acceptable. If you want to go one step beyond then there are electronic units available that have GPS and mapping included.
Minnesota Fishing Regulations
Before you head out to fish, we suggest that you become familiar with the Minnesota Fishing regulations and species closures. It is important when fishing in the winter to pay close attention to the MN DNR regulations book on what species has a protected slot.
Ice Fishing in Minnesota Tips from the Pro
Tom Neustrom, MN Fishing Guide (MN Fishing Connections), and Fishing Professional with: Rapala, Hummingbird, Otter, Strike Master, VMC Lures, Sufix Line and Tuned-UP Customized Ice Rods.
Early Season Ice
Many ice anglers pursue species that they were angling for prior to freeze up. It gives them an approximate idea where fish are gong to be located when they venture out on the ice. There are several categories of fish that are available to ice fisherman and they seem to be characterized into two categories: walleyes and northern pike are fished quite a bit than the panfish family. Walleyes and Northern pike are fished with larger baits and the tackle is a little heavier than what you would use for panfish. Times of the day for the predators can be crucial in being successful. Unless the water has turbidity then the walleyes, especially, will usually bite late in the day. Northern pike can be caught throughout the daytime hours and it a popular species for anglers to pursue.
When chasing panfish early in the winter remember to use lighter tackle. Two to four pound monofilament line is essential in attracting soft bites that occur while panfishing. Rods and reels will be lighter and a softer action will telegraph bites to the panfish angler on a regular basis. Ice fishing baits as light as 1/64 of an ounce are sometimes used so again it is essential to have light tackle and line. Panfish tend to be attracted to larvae type baits for that is usually the substance of their diet. Many anglers tend to fish for panfish in the winter because once a school is located the action can be fast and furious. Panfish tend to bite better during the day than some of the predator species.
Whatever species of fish you pursue in the winter, check with your local bait shops to see what is biting and where. They can also be great sources of information to what the ice conditions are on the area lakes.

So anyone of our regulars (still three) will know that I'm a big Bob Dylan fan. However, I primarily listen to his music before I came to America in 1990. I have stacks of his albums but I'm drawn to Blood on The Tracks and friends. However, I recently came across: Time out of Mind and I love it. I can't believe I missed it. I thank drinking for finding it – I was drinking the other night and came across a review on this album and thought: "I've never heard of this.". Boy what an amazing piece of work. Still the man. Of course as we all are getting older one song jumps out.
Not Dark Yet
Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Women, Do We Realize Who We Are?
Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend my church's world-wide Women's Conference (which you can find here). My heart burned inside as I listened to the messages that women need so badly today! It confirmed feelings I had all week that I needed to focus today's Monday Message on the power of women.
In so many ways, big and small, women chart the direction of the world. If you think I'm exaggerating, look at these facts:
Did you know that women control 70% of global consumer spending? Women decide where the money goes, and determine which products, brands, goods and services make it and which ones don't. Women earn more associates, bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees then men. Women are natural networkers, and connect and share what they learn and experience. Women run 60% of micro-enterprises, and female farmers produce 60-80% of the food in developing countries. In global peacekeeping efforts, educating women can prevent violent conflict and violent extremism. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Women have great power in shaping the world.
Whether we recognize it or not, what we value individually as women not only affects ourselves, but teaches the next generation what they should value too. At the conference this weekend Neill F. Marriott said it this way,
"You carry a circle of influence with you wherever you go. It is felt by the people around you, from your family to the contacts in your cell phone and…your friends on social media."
If our influence on the world is so huge, what are we individually doing with it? Put another way, if your friends, children, spouse, co-workers, "followers" or "friends" in your own circle of influence were asked what you value based on your words, actions and posts, what do you think they would say?
As I was thinking about this post, I couldn't get an image of a lighthouse out of my mind. Women are the lighthouses for the world. And right now, there are so many ships at sea that don't know which way to go, and are looking for a light to help show them the way! They want to know where happiness can be found. They want to avoid the pain that comes when we make poor decisions.
By our life and actions we can be a light to help those in our own circles avoid the rocks that would sink their ships, like: the whirlpool of comparison, getting caught up and obsessing over outward appearance while neglecting what's inside (thigh gaps, dress sizes, manicure colors and filled-in eyebrows are not going to move the needle in bringing us closer to God!), or thinking that what the world says about leadership matters more than Christ's way of leading (what is your title rather than how are you serving). These are traps that can get each one of us down, and as women we must literally shine light on these issues by the way we act and live. We must show the world that happiness does not come from appearance, possessions, or prestige; happiness can only be found in our relationships with God and those around us. Again from this weekend's conference,
"We have a choice. On the one hand there's the opinion of the world, with its ever changing theories and questionable motives. On the other hand, there is God's words to His children, His eternal wisdom, His certain promises, and His loving instructions for returning to His presence in glory, love and majesty. The choice is yours."
If we don't use our influence and examples to teach truth, these false messages will sink ourselves, our children, our spouses, and our loved ones.
We also can't forget that a lighthouse only has worth as long as it stays lit. In order to help others we must "glow ourselves", which can happen only when we plug into the source! Again from this weekend,
"That which is of God is light....We must go to the source of light, which is Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the scriptures."
Plugging into the source of light means that we have our own relationship with God and the Savior, we study the scriptures—asking the tough questions and diligently seeking answers, and that we are trying to be worthy of the spirit so we can decipher whether the messages that we're seeing, hearing, and passing on are from the world or from God.
In saying this I hope I haven't made it sound like choosing God's way is heavy, intense, or depressing—this couldn't be further from the truth! I'm always the happiest when I chose Him! Again from this weekend,
"Walking in the path of discipleship does not need to be a bitter experience. It is not a burden that weighs us down. Discipleship lifts our spirits and lightens our hearts. It inspires us with faith, hope, and charity. It fills our spirits with light in times of darkness and serenity during times of sorrow. It gives us divine power and lasting joy."
In my life I've seen this so clearly; I am never happier than when I am actively seeking to turn my life over to God. It's almost as if the world is a different place—I'm a quicker learner and more creative, I see God's hand in my life, I find more humor in the little things and patience in the big things, I am more sensitive in how I treat others, and my relationships are deeper and more meaningful. In short my life is full.
The joy that is found in following God's way is the message that we must take to the world. We will change the world for good only when we show by our lives that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the path to make us truly happy and free.
Please know that you have a friend in me as we try to stand for God, and though I'm not doing it perfectly, we're in this together with some of the most incredible women I've ever met. If we each do our part, we really can change the world.

A lawyer is not allowed to represent a client in an area of the law for which he or she is unqualified. A surgeon is not allowed to learn 'on the job'by practice or error, and a pilot is not allowed to progress to another aircraft without a period of re-training. But journalists are fed on a newsroom philosophy that requires them to turn their hands to any event or story that comes their way. 'We want a Jack (or Jill) of all trades – someone who can interview the Prime Minister in the morning and a heroin addict in the afternoon", is probably not an unfamiliar bluster to many in the business.
But if editors employ reporters to churn out copy to order, and journalists don't care about the stories they write, then why on earth should the readers care about what they read? Take any other profession or body with a public watchdog or regulatory remit and you find individuals have undertaken training programmes geared towards particular tasks or roles.
This applies to auditors, the police, health service regulators and the legal profession. Where are the national training courses, examinations and qualifications for financial journalists, for health correspondents, for local government reporters, for sports commentators, for crime specialists, for legal affairs reporters, and for environmental correspondents?
How many newspapers at regional or national level employ dedicated Freedom of Information reporters? How many papers employ reporters who are trained in analysing company accounts, or have an employment background in banking, industry, local government or accountancy?
Consider how thousands of institutions and public bodies prepared for the introduction of the FoI Act. A large number of them recruited and trained FoI officers to handle requests from the public and the media, in advance of the legislation going live. It wouldn't have occurred to the managers or bosses to do anything less.
Understanding the FOI
The FOI is being put to good use by some journalists. Freelance Heather Brooke's authoritative book, Your Right to Know, provides ideas on extracting details that should be disclosed in the public interest, but are kept under wraps by officials and politicians. For instance, she applauds The Birmingham Post for challenging a local authority which tried to charge £9,000 prior to releasing details of taxi and first class rail journeys made by staff and councillors. In that case, the paper took up the cudgels on behalf of local taxpayers and lodged an objection with the Information Commissioner's office.
But there is a lot of junk out there. Take one example from a regional newspaper, which ran a story on the fact local taxpayers had paid for council staff to travel the equivalent of 15 trips to the moon and back. The revelation this particular authority had spent more than £3m on travel expenses for thousands of employees, was splashed on pages one and two, together with an invitation to readers to post their reactions. But this story does not stand up to any kind of detailed analysis.
Public services cost money. Councils spend public money. Why should any variation on the theme 'council spends taxpayers money on services'be considered to be news? What was the newspaper getting at? What was the alternative to paying the travel claims? Unfortunately, this particular newspaper article did not go into much detail beyond the bottom-line sum.
An eye for detail
Here's an example of what can be done with an eye for detail and a bit of detective work. Given that consultancy deals and construction contracts are fertile ground for kick- backs and payola scams, it makes sense to examine payments that are authorised towards the end of each financial year. That is because departments are usually in a rush to spend unallocated money before the subsequent year's financial share-out is fixed (so that they don't invite cutbacks by failing to spend up to budget), and because internal auditors are often rushed off their feet between the New Year and April.
When we discovered a consultancy had been paid £14,000 to run a series of 'master-classes'to teach a very small number of council staff how to 'get the most'out of email, we decided to go digging – and came up with an object lesson for investigative journalists. No doubt some 'hit and run' editor would have been satisfied with a front page scoop along the lines of 'council spent £14k to teach Town Hall bureaucrats how to write emails", before being distracted by another sparkly object and losing interest in the issue altogether. But our attention span went beyond the total cost of the enterprise, because it was obvious a large public authority with its own computer and technology department would have had plenty of people on its staff more than capable of fulfilling the training role.
Journalists have a watchdog duty
That a contract had been awarded in the first place was what mattered here. Why had it been awarded in the first place? The bottom-line figure was incidental. After some routine checking with Companies House and other official sources, we discovered the firm was formed only a week before it was hired by the council. Then we discovered that the council's procurement rules had been broken when the deal was struck.
The rules were clear. All contracts worth more than £10,000 had to be subject to open competition. Then we discovered that the firm was dissolved a week after the contract finished. Something wasn't quite right. Editors and journalists have a watchdog duty to alert taxpayers, auditors, politicians and regulators to these types of stories. If they don't fulfil that role, public servants will be all the more cavalier about how they spend other taxpayers' money.
That's why journalists need to care about their readers. That's why specialists need more than on the job training. Anything less risks selling your readers short.

Last week I was talking to a good friend of mine. By almost any standard, she is one of the greats. She has achieved so much in her life, is considered a leader in her industry, and frankly - she is just an all-around awesome person. She always struck me as someone who is a big thinker, and better yet - a big executer, meaning she walks the walk just as much as she talks the talk. And just as she was preparing to get on stage at one of her industry's largest events, she said to me "Just because I think bigger than most people around me doesn't mean I'm thinking big."
In that one statement, I was entranced. Often we are prone to thinking we are thinking big when in reality, we are simply not challenging ourselves. Leadership expert, Jim Rohn says "you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." Take a moment and look at who you surround yourself with. Are they achieving their goals? Are they growing their businesses and their lives? Are they living the way you want to live yours? The answers may surprise you.
If you choose to surround yourself with people who are happy with the status quo, you will never grow. Worse yet, if you choose to surround yourself with people who have habits that could be detrimental to achieving your goals, you risk even more. You need to consistently challenge yourself to change yourself and that starts with your surroundings.

What Happens in Vegas...
Tabitha Helms
Well usually it stays in Vegas, but that's not how I do Vegas.
Actually, this is the first time I've been to Vegas, and I really wasn't sure what to expect. After an impromptu stay at a casino in Morongo after seeing Ingrid Michelson and A Great Big World (that was such a fun show!), and I experienced what it was like to have a casino on the bottom floor that was filled with smoke causing mean inability to get proper oxygen, I didn't think I'd enjoy myself.
The week leading up to it was one of the weirdest physically. My body couldn't decide what to do with itself when I was pushing it too hard, so it decided to get every kind of sick in short succession. Within a week, I had a sore throat, a cough, a runny nose, post nasal drip, a fever, body aches, chills, hot flashes, and an upset stomach. I'm not sure if it was just my body doing its usual "slow down, I'm tired so I'll get sick" or if I just counteracted everything with my essential oils so quick and dutifully that my body just kept recovering before my my tired body was ready to give up being sick so it threw something else at me. Like I said, totally weird. I managed to shake whatever it was just in time, though I was being hit by little bouts of it here and there over the weekend.
First of all, I was really glad this trip ended up falling on the last weekend before Christmas break. The week before Christmas break is always the busiest of the year with Christmas Chapel rehearsals and performance, Christmas parties, Christmas Store, Spirit Day, and other last minutes that need to be done before we leave. It's truly exhausting, so I was looking forward to a restful weekend with my Hubs and fam.
You wouldn't think of Vegas as being "restful," but it really was. I slept in, I took naps, I strolled, I watched my Mister play craps while I hid his earnings, I saw the hotels, I read a book (gasp!), and went to shows. It was lovely.
Some highlights:
Staying at the Encore in a SUITE! (Major score for $149 a night!)
Watching my Hubby win $170
Seeing Cirque Du Soleil's Ka
Previewing Steve Wynn's Showstoppers (and getting to backstage and meet some actors/actresses and look at the costumes!!)
Seeing the different styles of hotels
Watching the Bellagio water show
Walking the strip at night and seeing all the lights
Finding Flat Stanley at the Bellagio gardens
Catching up with my family
Reading for fun!
A free buffet
Some lowlights:
Freezing wind
Too much walking
People trying to get you to go to a strip club
Smokey air
Overall, I had a great time. It was so nice to get away with my Hubs and rest before this last crazy week of work before Christmas!

Madagascar: elections, Rajoelina prepares to win
The Independent National Electoral Commission ( Ceni ) said that the former Malagasy president Andry Rajoelina won the first round of the presidential elections last November 7 in Madagascar. Rajoelina won the elections with 39.19 percent of the votes in front of the other former president Marc Ravalomanana , with 35.29 percent. The two former heads of the state will challenge the run-off scheduled for 19 December. These results were however contested by Rajoelina, who denounced alleged "manipulations" in the counting of votes: " The IT treatment of the results of the vote is not transparent," said Rajoelina. But also the outgoing president Rajaonarimampianina denounced fraud: " The vote of citizens has been the victim of manipulation. We will not let the citizens be robbed of their vote ".
The vice-president of the Electoral Commission , Thierry Rakotonarivo , replied to the accusations: " There is no request made by the representatives of the candidates who have not met. The withdrawal of a representative of a candidate in the observation of the treatment of results will have no impact on the work of the electoral commission ". According to the head of the European Union's observation mission, Cristian Preda , the vote was " calm and orderly " except " only a small number of irregularities " that are irrelevant.
10 million Malagasy have voted to choose whether to confirm the outgoing president Rajaonarimampianina. There were 35 candidates who chose to challenge the head of state, including Rajoelina, President from 2009 to 2014, and Ravalomanana, President from 2002 to 2009. In the previous 2013 elections, Ravalomanana was prevented from applying for the international community to because of the violence in 2009 that caused a hundred deaths and favored Rajoelina's arrival in power.
At the moment, in the country, he supported Fr Eric Franck , director of 'Radio Don Bosco Madagascar', "From this election, the population expects the next head of state to restore the security of a peaceful life: access to food, basic services and the end of attacks and robbery of armed gangs". Fundamental human rights, like health, are not respected. Then there is "a lot of corruption, often to get a document or a service you have to pay an 'extra', and then there is the problem of crime ": an example is the phenomenon of cattle thieves , as reported in May by the first Minister Olivier Mahafaly Solonandrasana .
"The people are poor, but the country is extremely rich in natural resources," said Father Eric Franck.
And to try to fix the difficult economic situation, on 6 September, Rajaonarimampianina signed an agreement in Beijing to the seventh edition of the ' Forum sur la coopération sino-africaine ' for the 'creation of 10,000 direct jobs in Madagascar in the next in years ". The agreement, which sparked much controversy over the outgoing president, between Agence Malagasy de Développement Economique and de Promotion des Entreprises ( Amdp ) and the Chinese consortium um Taihe Century Investments Developments includes 6 projects to be implemented in Madagascar by 2025 and investment would be $ 2.7 billion. The sectors would cover fishing, the fight against illegal fishing, the construction of 330 vessels in the first three years. Only this would give work to 3,600 people. Another project would be for the desalinizzazuione of sea water on the coast of the Androy region, producing 10,000 m3 of fresh water daily.
The current fisheries minister of Madagascar, Augustin Andriamananoro , said that " this could cause discord and, if we are not prudent, the over-exploitation of our ocean. The natural resources of Madagascar are in danger, especially fish. The fishermen are amazed and terrified.
And according to the online petition ' Madagascar: Faire révoquer l'accord de pêche signé avec la Chine ', promoted by NGOs and fishermen's associations, the agreement would be very risky for the environment: « a good number of examples on our planet they prove that China does not respect the environment at all. Their fishing methods are extremely invasive, devastating and non-selective. This will very quickly become a major catastrophe for Madagascar and its population ". For Mihari, which brings together a series of marine associations in Madagascar, "the breadth of this investment is unprecedented in the history of the island. It is a matter of concern for the members of our network and for the whole fisheries sector, above all for the fact that we have very little information regarding the content of the agreement and how it will be implemented ». The agreement provides that the fish will go first to the citizens of Madagascar, but the Agence Malagasy de Développement Economique and de Promotion des Entreprises in the fishing sector has no experience whatsoever.

1) Removal of screens from porch enclosure; and
2) Removal of handicap ramp, leaving concrete step underneath.
Swearing in of Witnesses – Mr. Ryan swore in Village Planner, Alison Terry, and Susan Schmidt.
Discussion regarding Application #08-114:
Ms. Terry indicated that the exterior concrete step will remain once the handicap ramp is removed. Mr. Mitchell stated that this is a familiar application/request. He stated that he had a similar request in an application at the previous Planning Commission meeting.
The Planning Commission reviewed the Standards and Criteria pertaining to Application #08-114:
a) Is stylistically compatible with other new, renovated and old structures in the Village District. The Planning Commission concluded yes. Mr. Burriss stated that the structure will be taken back to the way it was originally.
b) Contributes to the improvement and upgrading of the historical character of the Village District. The Planning Commission concluded yes. Mr. Burriss stated that the removal of the ramp is more in keeping with the original period of the house.
c) Contributes to the continuing vitality of the District. The Planning Commission concluded yes. Mr. Burriss added that the historical character of the home will be made more correct.
d) Protects and enhances examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived. The Planning Commission concluded yes, and that restoring the home to its original condition protects and enhances.

Roll Call Vote: Burriss, Mitchell, Reeves, Ryan. Motion carried 4-0.
Application #08-114 is approved as submitted.
Old Business:
Review of the Zoning Code Revisions:
The Planning Commission resumed discussion of the Zoning Code Revisions at Section 1159.03. Mr. Mitchell asked what will become of the suggested changes. Ms. Terry stated that after the Planning Commission makes their changes/recommendations she will go through and thoroughly address all of the questions raised by the Granville Planning Commission. The text will then go to Allison Crites' office for review.
Jack Burris asked if there has been any clarification regarding permeable material for driveways. He also asked if there is a definition for 'driveway.' Ms. Terry stated yes. Ms. Terry added that Brandy Mass (with the Crites Law Office) had previously determined that impervious gravel could be counted as a driveway – and therefore lot coverage. Assistant Law Director Crites indicated that she could also review the memo provided by Brandy Mass.
Mr. Burris stated that the Site Plan Requirements listed on page 34 should indicate that a - to scale plot plan is required.
Mr. Mitchell and later Mr. Ryan stated that they like the language added to page 35 regarding the Architectural Review Overlay District.
"The purpose of the Architectural Review Overlay District is to preserve and encourage good architectural styles within the Village, reflecting the distinct phases of the Village's history."
Gina Reeves stated that she would suggest further review of the Criteria listed on page 36. Mr. Burriss stated that Criteria (d) in particular needs to be addressed. Alison Crites suggested that the best way to address the criteria is to spell out how the Planning Commission decision specifically meets these criteria. Ms. Terry stated that she would pull the criteria and language used by German Village and Victorian Village for comparison with other criteria. Mr. Burriss stated that he believes our current language is borrowed from Hudson, Ohio. Ms. Reeves stressed that she would like to send the information back to Council, recommending that the language for the Criteria be changed – and this ultimately makes the work of the Planning Commission purposeful. Mr. Mitchell stated that he feels the Criteria should be less black and white. Ms. Crites stated that she sees the Criteria as less ambiguous. Mr. Ryan agreed.
The Planning Commission discussed the last sentence on page 35:
"The purpose of the Architectural Review Overlay District is to preserve and encourage good architectural styles within the Village, reflecting the distinct phases of the Village's history."
Mr. Burriss questioned if the words "distinct phases" should be changed to "distinctive" & add in the word "complimentary." Ms. Reeves stated that she would like to see a different word used in place of "phases." Ms. Terry and Ms. Crites indicated that they would further research this language. Mr. Ryan suggested reviewing the language for the Criteria and then come back and review the language listing the purpose of the Architectural Review Overlay District.
Ms. Terry noted that on page 41, "Planning Director" should be changed to "Village Planner" so the document is consistent throughout.
On page 43, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Mitchell questioned the language regarding 'drive-through.' A recommendation to allow particular drive-through restaurants in particular areas of the Village was previously presented to Council. Ms. Terry stated that Council has indicated that they would prefer to leave this language as is and allow no drive-through restaurants anywhere in the Village. She added that this is due to the feedback from the Comprehensive Plan and Surveys. Mr. Mitchell stated that he would not be against a drive-through restaurant on Cherry Valley Road. Councilmember O'Keefe stated that another reason Council does not want to allow drive-through restaurants is due to traffic congestion.
Mr. Ryan asked if Ms. Terry feels the language regarding parking is sufficient. Ms. Terry stated that the language is somewhat antiquated and she does need to address some areas, but perhaps not in this go around. Mr. Burriss suggested that the language surrounding Parking – one per sleeping room – Fraternities ought to be eliminated. Mr. Ryan questioned parking requirements for drive-in restaurants.

Mar 22, 2015 - SOMETIMES YOU MUST BREAK THE LAWS OF MEN – TO UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THE CREATOR by Damon Corrie
With me to my right in the photo above from the days when I led such 'military operations' – is my now deceased brother-in-law and right hand man, Ernest Courtney Simon – a real hero of the Lokono-Arawak Tribe who never once refused to volunteer for any of my high risk plans to help others which we could have been killed or imprisoned for doing.
Damon Gerard Corrie
21st March 2015
I just had a long chat with my 83 year old father, it seems he did not know of any of the times that I broke the laws of men – in order to uphold the laws of the Creator that demand of us to do whatever it takes to help those in need, this included impersonating soldiers (in full military uniform purchased on the black market) of a certain country and creating fake 'warrants' (from a famous global Police entity) for the 'arrest' of certain (actually innocent) individuals – as the way to help them escape from their criminal captors in quickly executed 'military operations' (as we called them).
To explain further, since I was 20 I had created and bankrolled my own small para-military group of fearless indigenous rights defenders in a certain country, and when we heard of native girls forced into prostitution by human traffickers in that country who lured them away from their trusting families or indigenous home villages with false adds for honest jobs as 'maids' or 'shop assistants' etc….we used this ruse of pretending to be local Military working for International Law enforcement to get these girls away from their captors…I would always play the 'officer-in-charge' role and we would have a taxi waiting with engine running (these criminals never figured out that if we were legit we would be pulling up in military not civilian vehicles), I would demand that the young ladies (we were trying to rescue) be immediately handed over to us for questioning 'or I would return with the 'Task Force Police' (equivalent to SWAT) and a search warrant to check the entire property' – AND charge them personally with 'obstruction of justice' (that always got them in a hurry to get rid of the girls and avoid any more 'heat' on their establishments)…..then we hustled the girls into the waiting taxi and sped them away to safety until I could pay for them to return to their home villages out of my own pocket….we took less than 5 minutes from start to end to rescue such girls, luckily none of the criminals we ever encountered was intelligent enough to realize that I was not who they thought I was.
These are the kinds of 'military operations' that I began organizing, financing – and personally leading – 20 years ago, though with my long hair now the 'officer impersonation' will no longer work for me personally, as even an idiot criminal knows the Army does NOT allow it's members to have long hair. NO leader of any 'Indigenous' NGO in our region would even THINK of going to these lengths to save one of our people in need (because it entails them personally putting their lives at risk from potentially violent criminals – AND genuine Law enforcement that would sentence them to 10 years in jail for impersonating a local soldier/policeman if they were caught doing this (unfortunately local law enforcement are often on the payroll of human traffickers), ALL they will do is limit themselves to write about these girls plight – but NEVER attempt such a rescue of these victims THEMSELVES….but in my mind – words not enforced by actions are often inconsequential…so I have earned a reputation for being the guy you turn to when no-one else can help you if you are an indigenous person in a certain country with no-where to turn to for help in such an emergency.
Dad smiled and seems proud, he always admired 'men of action' who stood up for the defenseless….now he knows that his own son is one of them…and has been for half his life already.

Possums as Pets
Could Possums Be The New Cat?
When the average person considers getting a new pet for their home, it usually implies a dog, cat or even an aquarium full of fish. Very few people, however, have even taken the time to consider a different choice of pet, like a possum. A possum is a nocturnal marsupial and is known for it's long nose, jagged teeth and ability to hang from it's tail. It is often viewed as a wild animal rather than a possible pet. However, the benefits to having possums as pets are countless.
One appeal of owning possums as pets is that they are very affectionate creatures. They love a good snuggle and enjoy spending time with their owners. A little known fact is that they are very clean animals despite common misconceptions. People often view them as being dirty because they are known to dig through trash when in the wild. However, this is simply not true. A possum cleans itself frequenty throughout the day and likes to maintain a healthy and clean coat.
Those who are considering keeping possums as pets must know that it is very important to obtain a baby between the ages of 5 and 8 weeks so that the possum will have an easier time adapting to domestic life. It is also important to hold and play with the possum often to help it get used to human interaction.
Taking in possums as pets can be a big responsibility and one that should be thought through carefully. However, with the right planning, correct approach and the right attitude you may have just found yourself the world's most lovable pet.

What You Didn't Know About The Opposum
Possums As Pets Legality
It Varies From Place To Place
There is certainly going to be a vast multitude of different laws governing the legality of having possums as pets. In the United States, it is not very common for individuals to have this animal as a house pet. Therefore, many states have outlawed this altogether. However, states like West Virginia allow citizens to keep possums as pets so long as they apply for a permit. These permits only cost $2. The penalty for having possums as pets without a permit is $500 though. This highlights the importance of knowing the laws of the area.

The Difference Between Possums and Opossums - Its Not Always Just A Different Way Of Saying It
Photo Courtesy of Wikipedia
Some people have confused themselves into believing that the only difference between a possum and an opossum is a way of saying the same thing. This is typically true in North America, but the possum is a whole other creature than the opossum. The possum is not native to North America, so many of us are not in regular contact with the creature. However, it is essential to understand that no one would be asking about possums as pets if they were talking about the actual possum critter.
Above is a picture of an actual possum with its offspring. The possum is native to New Zealand after being brought there by European settlers. Its ability to reproduce well have made the number of possums in New Zealand grow to a point of making the animal something to get rid of. There have been several attempts to irradicate the animal from the island nation, but none of worked so far. With no natural predators on the island, the possum has continued to grow in population. The damage that this animal does to the trees and other wildlife have caused ecological and economic damage to the region. It would appear that the people of New Zealand would much rather be rid of the animal than ever consider possums as pets.

Comments and Feedback
Opossums have always given me the heebie geebies but after googling around and reading this article and the other comments I feel a lot less heebs and jeebs. I have to say they looked cute beeing cuddled but maybe we should get the dog population in control before we start keeping opposums as pets. ✌

I had a New Zealand possum as a pet. They are good fun when they are young but they get a bit grumpy as they get older. You have to admit that they are a lot prettier than the American opossum.
I like watching opossums play in the wild but would probably not recommend anyone have one as a pet.
Nice lens but I need to correct you on the fact that possums are native to Australia and New Guinea. They were taken to New Zealand some years ago and are now in such numbers there that they are considered a pest. We had possums in our roof when we lived in Pymble, Sydney. They used to keep us awake at night banging around and they loved the passion fruit that grew on the gum trees. They are lovely animals but should not be encouraged into the home.
Very interesting... stii not sure about possums as my pet.
They look very cute, but I still wonder if they could really be friendly with humans.
It is sad that in New Zealand they are considered a pest, everything on this planet fights for survival and procreating is how they want to increase their numbers, this goes for everybody's instincts including man's. This is a lens full of information and I loved the You Tube videos
I never knew this. We have them around from time to time. Didn't know they could make good pets. Thanks for the info.
Yes in most areas of the U.S. they are considered pests. I don't believe in harming any animal, but there are those who will go out of their way to kill one of these little fellows. Thanks for new information on the Possum...hope the word spreads to others to treat them more humanely. But I do believe they should be left in the wild.
I live in the southern United States and possums are everywhere. I'm glad to have read this page, because I really had the wrong idea about them. I will probably never have one as a pet, but I do have a little more respect for them. Thanks for enlightening me.
Cute little critters - not sure I'd want one running around my house, though. Blessed by a SquidAngel! :)
You sure have a nice balance of information here to help those who are considering bringing a new pet into their home. I was surprised to learn that possums are affectionate and like to cuddle with humans. I was among those unaware that a possum and opossum are very different critters. Well done!
We're looking at a rodent of sorts as a pet. We live in an apartment that doesn't allow cats, dogs or birds. I'd never heard of keeping a possum as a pet - found this to be a very interesting article :)
What a precious pet possum! Now this makes me really want one! I wonder if they would get along with my dogs? I kinda have my doubts, but one can never tell about animals. I had a lab once who loved my daughters fat cat and I have a little golden retriever now who thinks all baby animals are her own babies. She would probably love a possum. Merlin, our young lab, would probably engage in endless chase games with the poor critter.
hadn't thought about having this for a pet before, I liked your article and the plus about them, earned a 'thumbs up' from this avid reader.
We had a possum for a pet, but she didn't have much personality. I think dogs and cats make better pets, and wild animals should be left wild.
I never thought of having one of those critters as a household pet. Very interesting!
We possum sat for our friend's possum, Wilson, for a week once, several years ago. He was a cutie!
