When we first pondered the idea of work camping or camp hosting, we tried to do the pros and cons thing. For example, on the one hand, it's great to have a spot or a spot and a paycheck. On the other hand, it's difficult to stay in the same place for five months. That sort of thing. There was definitely plenty of disucssion about the nuts and bolts of the thing, and when it came to a remote National Forest campground, we also had to consider the impact of living outside the cell phone and internet zone. Yikes. As we dug into our San Juan National Forest experience, the philosophy and attitude of the people around us became the biggest "pro" on the list.
We began our work camp experience at a private campground closer to an urban area, hosting and working in a store. It turns out they weren't very fond of their campers. I guess that's all I'll say about that but it wasn't what I had in mind for us in our camp hosting situation. Now the set up hit our "pros" list - paid and full hook up spot included. The culture was so different from what we had experienced as full-time campers that it didn't work for us. We hung in for a month but found another position for the summer.
Imagine how pleasant it was to attend our training - a real day-long seminar with the other camp hosts - and hear a completely different attitude towards the campers. Not only was there respect, a good vibe, and even excitement about our customers, there were real tools given for dealing with problems or differences. It didn't stop there - our supervisors were really great with the campers and their camp hosts all season. Let me also say that all of the care and concern for our campers that was shown by our concessionaire was mateched by the Pagosa Springs Forestry Service. Amazing folks, always so helpful.
Now we've only done this for one season so are not really experts, but an informal survey that includes Ute and Lower Piedra campgrounds tells us this about campers:
- They will touch things
- They will mess up what you have just cleaned up
- They will drive past two road-closed signs to drive up a closed road. And then tell you they "didn't see" the signs
- They will try to camp for free
- They will pull five vehicles into one camp site
- They will pop their heads through your back window inches from your own head while you're watching television - or whatever - and say, "Sorry! I just had this one question for you..."
- They are explorers
- They are trailblazers
- They are out breaking all the rules
So, the thing is, you have got to love them! Talk to them and find out what they're doing, where they're going, what's been their favorite thing about their day. If you don't enjoy your campers, you will go crazy as a camp host. In our first position, employees were unhappy and we weren't the only ones hitting the road never to return.
There was a trade-off. The first campground was a full hook-up, hot showers, swimming pool, camp store, and propane provider. We had internet and cable. Our hours were set. There was absolutely no reason for the grouchy attitude that pervaded the place. We gladly traded for the scarier "primitive" campgrounds in Southern Colorado with no store, no amenities, and no set hours.
I guess what I hope to pass on here is that if you'd like to explore the camp hosting avenue, figure out what you like about camping and campers and find the folks who reflect those same ideals. We believe in the company's philosophy of assisting campers in making memories and having great experiences. Coincidentally, that's exactly what we did - made memories and had great experiences!

Mary London CarswellHey y'all! I am Mary London Carswell and I am currently a sophomore journalism major at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. I grew up in Gainesville, GA- a small town about an hour above Atlanta. As ridiculous as it sounds, I found out about Choose to Invest through Twitter. I had been praying since the end of last summer about how I should spend the next summer. The Lord made it clear to me that Africa is where I should be. I've been to Africa twice and I absolutely love the people there and the simplicity of their lifestyle. Through the interview process, the Lord just kept on confirming that I was supposed to be in Kenya with Choose to Invest. Throughout the preparation process, God has been teaching me that it's not going to be an easy ride. He has been preparing my heart for reckless abandonment and fully relying on Him. Although it will be challenging, I know it's going to be an awesome experience. I am most excited about developing a tight knit community with our team as well as with the locals of Kenya. I cannot wait to hear people's stories about the Lord's grace and redemption and share mine as well.
Amy Shackelford Hi Everyone! My name is Amy Shackelford and I am from Rochester, IL. I am currently living in Peoria, IL where I attend Bradley University. I am a junior this year majoring in English Secondary Education. I've decided to do the Journey Internship because I want to pursue Christ with everything I have. He has placed a desire in my heart for eternity and I want to love, serve, and adore Him with my life. I fully trust that the Lord will teach me more than I can possibly imagine on this journey! I am so excited! As I am preparing for this internship, God has already been teaching me so much! He is sweetly guiding me through everything. I have been constantly reassured of His provision and love. He is teaching me to trust in Him, delight in Him, and surrender to Him through everything. I am so thankful to see His faithfulness as I raise financial support and how He has been equipping and preparing me through His Word. It is so sweet to trust in Jesus! I am so excited about everything! I can't wait to meet my team, share life with them, and serve with them. And, I am so excited to do the very same thing with Kenyans! It is amazing to me that God is taking me on this journey not only to bring Him glory but reveal Himself to me more deeply. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to see how He is going to work, what He is going to reveal to me, and how He is going to teach me. I am greatly encouraged to serve a great God! Let the JOURNEY begin!

The sound and use of trumpets by God's people dates back centuries and is well documented in Holy Scriptures. Trumpets were used to signal God's people in the battle of Jericho (Joshua 6) and even Moses used the trumpet as a signal to God's people (Numbers 10).
But the trumpets have also been called upon and used to praise God. The Prophet Isaiah tells us, "Lift up your voice like a trumpet." In Psalm 98 we read, "With trumpet and cornet make a joyful noise to the Lord, the King."
The Lutheran Church, especially in Europe, has a long tradition of using brass choirs in worship. Much music for brass has indeed been written by the classical composers for the use in worship and to praise God with that "Joyful Noise."
Grace has had a Brass Choir almost since the founding of our congregation in 1953. Current members range in age from teens to fifties. It's current purpose is simple: to serve the Lord and His Church on many occasions, to add that joyful noise to our worship, especially on special occasions, church festivals and even on social occasions.
We practice weekly during the school year and always welcome new members. We also provide free brass instrument lessons for beginners. We welcome the young and not-so-young.
For more information contact our Brass Choir Conductor, Chris Lewis via firstname.lastname@example.com.

"No," the concept of natural cosmetics, pigment application
Recent market trends in cosmetics, natural cosmetics, namely that the "no" concept of cosmetics, from the beginning into a mature stage. A variety of cosmetic brands have launched a natural cosmetics, natural cosmetics in the market share is gradually improving, and consumer demand is also increasing. The common feature of natural cosmetics using organic plants, no preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, etc., especially if recently used Nipagin esters (parabens, preservatives) is a key proposition. For this study is the definition of natural cosmetics, features, benefits, and related natural pigment content.
South Korea's cosmetics regulations for natural cosmetics is no single definition, astaxanthin which constitutes a part of raw materials, the use of raw materials or natural plant ingredients, companies are free to mark it as containing natural ingredients of cosmetics. There is a cosmetics manufacturer is defined as: natural cosmetics for the skin to provide healthy ingredients to help skin breathe and water to improve the efficiency of the exchange. Worldwide are currently no official standards for natural cosmetics, but in general do not use harmful chemical ingredients, instead of using non-chemical methods of extraction of oil and other raw materials, products, often called natural cosmetics.
The primary function of natural cosmetics to the skin does not increase the burden, biotin and create healthy skin. Because they do not use chemicals, so harmless to the skin, can help the skin gradually returned to normal function. Natural cosmetics is actually vitamin E and other natural materials used as a preservative, not entirely without using preservatives. Use of natural preservatives, must be considered a short period compared to the characteristics of chemical preservatives. The advantage of natural cosmetics is to stimulate small, strong moisturizing effect.
Former general who make the best products for cosmetics, glutathione the use of a variety of colors, artificial flavors and a variety of mild chemical substances, in order to achieve the best use of sense, but such products may be a simple theory itself can be the perfect products, minoxidil but we can not become human and environmental friendly products. Now, consumers have begun looking at the real product for the sake of mankind, so the only natural cosmetics on the scene.
Natural cosmetics are cosmetics produced using natural materials, which will replace the tar pigment that natural pigments. Pigment can be roughly divided into natural pigment and synthetic pigment, widely used in food, cosmetics and apparel dyeing and other industries. The advantage of coloring pigment synthesis rate, relatively stable, prices are low, it has been applied very widely, but there are also carcinogenic tretinoin and toxic to humans and other potential security risks exist, so in recent years, there are many restrictions on the use of . In addition, rising global tide of popular natural doctrine, led to the original use of natural pigments in foods has recently begun to use the cosmetics industry.
Natural pigments and synthetic pigments different, safe, reliable, many types of color can have a variety of combinations. Because most can eat the food ingredients, so it helps to claim the concept of natural cosmetics. The disadvantage is that colored much raw material optional, some type of expensive and scarce, but recently have these drawbacks can be overcome the latest biotechnology.
Natural pigments should have the conditions, is first to harmless heat resistance (heat in the sterilization process will not fade or change color) is good, light resistance, chemical resistance performance is good, not a change in smell. Natural pigment source material can be classified according to their animal coloring (cochineal), plant pigments (gardenia yellow, safflower yellow, purple sweet potato color), micro-pigment; can be classified according to shape as is the use of natural substances (jam class), the natural substance to be dried, crushed and other simple processing (curry powder), API supplier were extracted from the pigment composition of natural substances to be refined, concentrated powder-oriented (gardenia, safflower), for heating or enzymatic treatment ( caramel-caramel), synthesized, such as carotenoids (carotenoid) pigment (β-carotene), and so on.
Function of the physiological activity of natural pigments to the number of key antioxidant, Cosmetics material in addition to improving the capillary smooth, inhibition of hepatic dysfunction, deodorizing effect, promote the secretion of the endocrine system with features. However, the natural pigment colors or color because of processing, storage condition, cosmetic factors such as physical properties change. The number of color factors, in particular pH, oxygen, moisture, heat, light, metal ions, such as the impact of the cosmetic composition.
We simply look at the natural pigment of the market trends you can know, and functional plant's green pigment flower glycoside (anthocyanin) pigments, Calendula (marigold) pigments, natural carotene, tomato pigments and lower blood pressure effects of red pigment gradually increased the use of other animals, such as cochineal pigment red pigment and shellac a slight decrease in the use of red pigment. Natural pigments which are used as cosmetic ingredients Department of carotenoids (gardenia yellow, β-carotene), flavonoids system (purple sweet potato color), chalcone series (safflower yellow pigment), caramel, cocoa pigments and so on. Caramel inexpensive, light heat resistance, acid and alkali resistance is also good, in a variety of pH, little change, color performance, the delay observed changes are also no problem. Performed well, while the color can give the unique flavor, so the Chinese side is currently used in cosmetics. Light cocoa color with heat performance, product delivery to the liquid state change, color performance advantages, so the natural pigment used in cosmetics them.
Recently, the Korea Food and Drug Safety Agency (KFDA) promulgated cosmetics tar pigment type, location and restricted use of the ratio of the standard and test methods. The promulgation of these regulations, strengthen the institutional foundation for cosmetic safety regulation. Placed in front of the subject of cosmetic R & D staff is to explore the natural pigment than the better known and more diverse material, and apply them in the product. Source:www.cosprm.com

As temperatures soar across North Texas, cities set up cooling stations to keep residents safe
About 600 people die a year in the United States from heat-related illnesses, according to Centers for Disease and Control Prevention.
It's going to be hot, but that doesn't mean you have to suffer.
About 600 people die a year in the United States from heat-related illnesses, according to Centers for Disease and Control Prevention.
On two days this week, Texas Health Resources saw more patients with heat-related illnesses than on any single day from the previous two years.
Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise more than 20 degrees in 10 minutes, even when it's not sweltering outside.
The hottest weather of the year is forecast for the rest of this week. And it's going to stay triple-digit hot into next week.
Sure, you can peek through the blinds at the scorching sidewalk and cloudless summer skies. Or you can keep working out ... within limits.
With the heat index in Dallas forecast to be hot and humid much of the week, local health care providers and emergency management teams are prepping for a potential spike in heat-related medical issues.
Just how long do your sprinklers need to run to keep your lawn green?
With thoughtful design, stylish seating and playful accents, a retreat can await you right outside your back door.
The difference between the state's electricity production capacity and projected demand this summer is the narrowest in 11 years.
Rotating outages — better known as rolling blackouts — last happened here in February 2011.
The new water park, Epic Waters, opens Friday.
We've rounded up Dallas-Fort Worth's splash parks, spraygrounds, splash pads and play fountains -- many of them free. Happy splashing!
Plus, such races often are steppingstones to longer races in cooler weather. "If you're going to run winter marathons and you live in Texas, you have to do training during summer," says Lewis George, whose company, Mellew Productions of Richardson, started Hottest Half about five years ago. "My comment to people who say, 'I wouldn't do that,' is, 'Do you do a long run on Saturday or Sunday in the summer? ' It's another long run. Big deal. You just use caution.
Marigolds tolerate heat and poor soils, plus they produce vibrant blooms for bouquets and vases.
Pack these products in your gym bag, suitcase or purse to put your best face forward all season long.

RARC History
The club was started with the Rockwall County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (RCARES) and eventually evolved into a full blown club in November of 1999. The Rockwall County Amateur Radio Emergency Service, exists as a separate entity, but is tied into the Rockwall Amateur Radio Club (RARC) through its members and support. The RARC and the RCARES work in conjunction with each other in many of the special events that we are involved with, with the exception, of course, when it comes to an emergency situation requiring trained personnel. However, since the RARC and the RCARES are made up of mostly the same hams, they're almost one and the same. Despite the club's relatively small size, we are here and are always willing to help when necessary. This includes helping our neighboring counties.
Rockwall County is the smallest county in Texas, bordered by Dallas county to the immediate West, and Collin, Hunt, and Kaufman Counties, all in North Texas.

County council candidates inaugurated a new way to meet with voters.
On August 19 and 21, Rud Browne and Barry Buchanan informally chatted with residents at the Birch Bay Public Market and in a homeowner's driveway.
For upcoming events, see the calendar at www.whatcomdemocrats.com.
1st International Sea and Sky Festival
The 1st International Sea and Sky Festival registered 108 participants on August 17 and 18, 2013. Forty-one of the those registered were from Canada–mostly B.C., with the remainder from the U.S.–mostly Whatcom County.
A small, unscientific survey found that this inaugural event was very popular and should be repeated next year. The two favorite activities were kite building/flying and skim boarding. The only negative comments were the cost of participating, through rental fees, in the paddleboarding and kayaking events and the lack of planned activities while waiting for the tide to come in.
Items donated by local businesses valued at nearly $800 were awarded to registered ticket-holders.
Thanks to the donors of the prizes and for the committee members who donated time and energy to this event.
Dear Mr. President
Dear Mr. President:
We were surprised and disappointed with your choice of venue when we heard your speech from Amazon. Chuck and Dee Robinson of Village Books, genuine job creators and strong community supporters, expressed our concerns very well in a message advising readers, excerpted below.
1. Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun — all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place.
2. Put your taxes to good use: Local businesses in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of public services as compared to nationally owned stores entering the community.
3. Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to buy:.. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based not on a national sales plan but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.
Please do something to counteract the impression that you care more for predatory large corporations than you do the real job creators–small business.
You may remember us as volunteers with the neighborhood team from the most northwestern county of the most northwestern state when we had our photo taken with you in Bellevue, February 2012. We cherish that experience and photo.

National Bicycle and Pedestrian Count – Phase 2
As part of a national study, being done in Birch Bay, Washington for the first time in May, we counted six female and two male cyclists; 35 female and 24 male pedestrians; and 18 dogs, gender undetermined.
On July 6, our numbers increased exponentially to 179 cyclists (75 female and 104 male), 369 pedestrians (207 female and 162 male), 21 others (scooters, surreys, skateboards and one elliptical) and 32 dogs (still not gender-specific).
Git Yer Goat
We saw an item in Entrepreneur magazine on Rent-A-Goat and thought what a great idea that would be to clear our lot. Since ending our Growing Trees for Salmon efforts, nothing but a raised bed (whole other story), has happened there — except for an explosion of weeds.
A little local research revealed that Tom Mallahan and Sally Yorkston have a tribe of goats in Everson and they (the goats) are willing and able to clear almost any vegetation from nearly any terrain. Tom says goats will eat anything, but not everything is good for them.
He scopes out the property prior to estimating the length and cost of the job, then trailers the goats (up to 15 of them) to the location, sets up a perimeter electric fence and remains with them — all day and all night if necessary — until the job is done. If they miss or reject any growth, he chops it down to ground level and the place looks respectable.
This doesn't come cheap and you don't get a discount for feeding the goats their lunch, dinner and maybe even breakfast. The mobilization fee is $150 and the 24-hour day charge is $250. But if you have a large area and want to be ecologically attuned, it sure is an option.
And, as the Rent-A-Goat Web site goat says, and the Git Yer Goat members would no doubt agree, "We are cute, too!"
Is that old couple waiting for a parade?
If that's what you thought when you saw us or any of the other 20 or so people helping out, we assure you we know there is no Birch Bay Parade scheduled until July 20th. (Mark that weekend on your calendars now for the Discovery Days Parade, Arts and Crafts Festival and Ducky Derby.)
What we were doing was counting cyclists and pedestrians (and we added dogs out of curiosity), for the National Bicycle & Pedestrian Documentation Project, a function of The Birch Bay Healthy Communities assessment team, a part of the Birch Bay Waterfront Group.
Following a brief orientation on Tuesday, May 7, by Melissa Morin (our photographer) from the Whatcom County Department of Health, we selected a shift and location to staff on Thursday, May 9. Saturday times were also available.
Our shift was 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in front of the Grand Bay Condominiums. During that time we counted six female and two male cyclists; 35 female and 24 male pedestrians; and 18 dogs, gender undetermined. We were fortunate that the doggy dump container was just across the road from us and concientious dog walkers were depositing their "business" bags and turning around to head back the way they came–we were required to count them each time they crossed our "screenline."
We enjoyed the couple of hours of watching a sailboat skim across the bay and contributing information for future decision-making in Birch Bay. And if we watched the parade rather than walking in it, we might try to sit about there.
Ten Year Victory
A long-awaited event took place morning of April 20, 2013 at the Birch Bay State Park. It was ground-breaking, in more than one sense of the word.
Stacey McDaniels, BP Refinery Manager, was one of many dignitaries present to laud the staff and volunteers for their decade of dedication in conceiving, supporting and promoting the concept of an educational center within the park.
Actual construction will begin in mid-September, with a weather-proof space ready for completion by the time the snow falls. By next summer, educational exhibits and programs should be available for visitors who come from across the country and around the world.
Strong Candidate for County Council
Last Wednesday evening, April 17, 2013, Rud Browne's friends opened his campaign for the at-large seat on the Whatcom County Council. They crowded the Walton Theater room of Mt. Baker Theater; if the fire marshal had been there he might have turned purple at the number of people. They were all there because Browne, a popular entrepreneur and environmentalist, represents a splendid opportunity for progressives to take back control of the Council.
In a well-organized talk Browne explained how, as a young man in Australia, he worked in blue-collar jobs before moving to Canada and the U.S. In 1989, in his apartment with $20,000 in capital, he started a business that became The Ryzek Group that has 360 employees, 140 in Whatcom County, with annual revenues of $60 million. The business is described as "providing full life cycle management–repair, refurbishment, recycling, etc.–of bar-code, mobile, wireless and RFID computer equipment." In addition to the U.S., operations are in Canada, the U.K. and France. Along the way he has received numerous entrepreneurial and environmental awards. In May he will be a featured speaker at the Economist's 11th Annual 'Future in Review Conference on Digitizing the Future."
Coal trains and the proposed Cherry Point terminal are well understood to be the big issue in this Fall's Council elections, where the majority of four seats will be decided. The Council is likely to be the prime decider. How could an environmentalist who worked to preserve the Lake Whatcom water supply be for the coal port? In his talk Wednesday evening, Browne was circumspect in explaining that he is for a strong economy with good jobs as well as the environment. He wants to look at all the facts.
Dan Pike, the former Bellingham mayor, in conversation after the talk asked, "What more is there to know?" He said he looked at the facts and decided to be one of the first to state his opposition to the coal terminal.
Browne will be the guest of Richard May at the April 24th Tipple and Talk at 7:00 p.m. in the Via Birch Bay Café and Bistro. May, who will lead the discussion on Wednesday, was a 2008 campaigner for President Obama in several states, and is active with the Whatcom Democratic Central Committee.
This year's election will be more than about yard signs.

Lusty coed Ember Stone isn't wearing any panties beneath her miniskirt uniform, a fact that Damon Dice notices along with the musk of sex. He decides that Ember needs to be taught a lesson, one that starts with her giving him a blowjob. He wants it wet wild and dirty, all of which Ember is happy to deliver along with some deep throat action. When Damon helps Ember up onto the bed and flips up her skirt so that he can take her from behind, her landing strip snatch is already dripping with excitement. Her moans of excitement fill the room as Damon delivers a proper pussy pounding. She only gets louder and hotter when Damon flips her over to wrap his hands around her neck and stare into her eyes as he fucks her. Ember is eager to get off, and she knows that riding her stepdad's hardon is just the way to get there. Only after she has exploded in ecstasy does she climb off and see to Damon's pleasure. Using her hand, she strokes Damon off until he explodes in a shower of cum that she happily laps up.

1. What are the Waste Management Rules 2016
2. What is multi-laminated packaging waste?
3. What happens to the MLP waste after it is disposed off?
4. What is Extended Producer Responsibility?
5. What is the solution for this?
What are the Waste Management Rules 2016
Waste Management Rules 2016 is a comprehensive set of six different Rules covering most sectors from which waste is generated. It includes SWM Rules and Plastic Waste Management Rules. You can refer the complete set of Rules here.
What is multi-laminated packaging waste?
Multi-laminated packaging is the packaging used for all kinds of articles of daily consumption, wafer, biscuits, snacks, shampoos, hand wash refill, chocolates etc. The items shown in pictures below are a few examples. Millions of such items are consumed daily and the packaging disposed off after a single use.
It is a modified form of plastic which makes it stronger, air tight and water tight and hence suitable for the purpose of storing many food items. But it is also not recyclable and has to be disposed after a single use, unlike a polythene carry bag which can theoretically be used many times over.
What Happens to MLP waste after it is disposed?
After you throw any MLP waste item into the dustbin it travels to the local community bin and from there to the dumping grounds. Because it is very light in nature it easily gets dispersed with wind and water. You can find it in forests, drains, rivers and seas. And even in the stomach of animals.
What is Extended Producer Responsibility?
Extended Producer Responsibility expects that companies take responsibility for the waste generated by their products. A wafer selling company is responsible for the empty packet, which becomes litter after one use. A biscuit company is responsible for its empty packet. They cannot just sell the products, make profit from it and leave waste for society to handle.
Extended Producer Responsibility is now a clause in the Waste Management Rules. The relevant excerpt is below
What is the solution for MLP waste?
The first step towards a solution is to not mix MLP waste with regular waste. This is not recyclable waste please remember. Safai Bank is a means to ensure highly segregated collection of this waste to ensure that it can be disposed as per the solutions listed in the Waste Management Rules 2016.
The solutions listed in the Rules are
- Use in Asphalt Roads
- Burning in cement kilns
Following links below will be useful to understand
- Ministry of Highways and Road Transport and Highways circular mandating the use of plastic waste in asphalt roads. Read Use of Plastics Waste in Road Construction Ministry of Road Transport and Highways,GOI
- Article below on the person who began the use of plastics in roads.
Roads Made of Plastic Waste in India? Yes! Meet the Professor Who Pioneered the Technique.
3. Use in cement kilns – this is an example of a venture by one of the cement companies – https://www.geocycle.com/india

But after 7 weeks of difficult competition, a Blue Teams Loni as well as a Red Teams Nicole rose to a top. And it all would come down to a single final prepare decided upon by a panel of experts in a blind tasting. At a end a single winner would be crowned as well as awarded $50,000 for her charity, as well as her coach would win showing off rights. Would Anne keep her jot down unbroken, or would Rachael clinch her initial win? History could be made upon this night.After in progress a soul food menu which had a judges craving more, Loni sealed a fate of her group as well as got a initial win for her mentor, Rachael. Even though she had a slip-up with her snack as well as forgot to tip it with bacon, all her meals shone. Rachael might have come tighten to a nervous relapse many times, though it was all worth it when a three guest judges announced a winner. Loni sheds her worst prepare pretension as well as leaves with a set of brand new skills to have use of for a rest of her life. She did it all for a American Red Cross, earning a gift $50,000.Howre you feeling after this long finale?Loni Love: you am upon cloud nine. you only cant hold it. you unequivocally cant hold it. Ive been crowned Worst Cook in America.Actually not Worst Cook in America.LL: Yeah, not worst cook.How was yesterday for you starting into which use cook? When you looked during a complete menu, was there anything which you were endangered about, any meals you felt werent quite there yet?LL: The middle plate you was endangered about, since there were a lot of ingredients, as well as you knew which my third plate was a lot of chopping, a lot of blade cuts as well as a lot of in progress time, as well as you didnt feel which thirty mins would be enough for my third, so you tried to get as many as you could finish for a second. It wasnt so many about if you couldnt do it; it was about how many you could get done.You forgot to put bacon upon a single of your dishes.LL: The snack you put bacon in, though you didnt have enough time to put bacon. you had gangling bacon, as well as a devise was to put [it in] for which mangle which a judge wanted, as well as you didnt have time to put a additional bacon in.

Reinstate Coach Grover
This petition made change with 3,750 supporters!
Jerril Grover has been Bradford high school's wrestling coach since 1994. Now, because of a comment taken out of context at a recent parent's meeting, he has been dismissed from his role as coach at Bradford.
Other than my parents, Coach Grover has, of all the people in my life, had the biggest role in sculpting who I am as a person. I first met Coach Grover when I was 8 years old, when my elementary school was preparing us for the city-wide elementary wrestling tournament, which Coach Grover organizes every single year. He was my coach through the years for the Kenosha Girls Wrestling club. And when I got to high school, he was my coach all four years that I wrestled for Bradford. He was the coach that made me a Bradford Wrestling captain. He was the coach that handed me money from HIS OWN POCKET to help fund my trip to Europe for an Olympic development camp. He was the coach who told me that I could do anything if I believed in my own abilities.
Guess what- I don't wrestle anymore. But what I have built every single day since meeting Coach Grover is CHARACTER. Hard work. Dedication. Respect. Those are words that are synonymous with "wrestling" for Coach Grover. It doesn't matter if you never lost a match, won state all four years- without character you're just a scrub to Coach. Character is the foundation upon which Coach Grover has built both his program and legacy. Whoever decided to fire him has done Bradford wrestling a great disservice, to say the very least.

Effective investment of money
It is best to spend the money so that it will start making for you. There are a couple of ideas, in all of them it's all about increasing your assets:
1. Your own business
2. Investment funds
3. The Exchange
4. Real estate
Invest money in your own business
Your own business is a powerful challenge – you need ingenuity, knowledge, dedication (mainly time) and passion. I don't mention money, because it's usually not as much of a problem as it seems to people. They often treat lack of money as an excuse – and there are ways to raise money for their own business, if only it looks like it will work.
Invest money in funds
In short: investment funds are a system where you entrust money to specialists and they trade money on your behalf so that there would be more money. They earn a percentage, and in return, they laugh at quotations, market analyses, etc. The money is not only for the money, but also for the money they earn. If you don't have the knowledge and time to become your own broker – this is where you have a great way out.
The funds have different strategies:
* Equity funds invest mainly in shares. They are described as aggressive because here you can gain or lose a lot. Some invest in large companies, others in small companies, and others in foreign markets. You just have to choose what you are interested in.
* Bond funds – as the name suggests, they put money into safe bond instruments. Here you can count on security. If you earn very little, but the same applies to losses – a very small risk of losing something. Profit of several percent per year.
* Money funds – these funds operate on deposits and other money instruments. You can count them as safe again.
* Hybrid funds – i.e. neither this nor that, in fact: and that and that. They travel depending on the chosen profile after what they consider appropriate. It is something between safe funds (bonds, money) and aggressive funds – they invest a part of their money in shares, a part in something safer.
* Real estate funds – the money of these funds goes to the housing market. Land, land, investments in developers, etc.
A lot of that. The easiest and best way to go to a financial advisor and find the language there – they will examine you left and right for at least the following important information:
* how much money you want to spend on investments
* whether you intend to deposit money systematically or with a one-off shot
* What time horizon do you think about – whether it's a semi-annual game, or you put off your or great-grandsons' retirement?
* how strong your nerves are – do you care more about safety or do you prefer to risk aggressively, hoping for higher profits?
* etc.
And why is it worth to invest your money in funds?
A big plus for investment funds: in general, you choose a fund according to your preferences (aggressive, stable, etc.) and you stop worrying – specialists (or at least I want to think about them) take care of it every day so that nothing bad happens to your money, and that you can see more and more in your account. Sitting at stock quotations, for example, you have to have a lot of time and nerves made of steel – for people busy with everyday life, it is much better to enter the funds. You pay the commission for the time and knowledge of these people. It is worth it.
Invest money on the Stock Exchange
This is where the ride begins. This is a market for those who know and like risk. Of course, you can also manage these risks. Once you have first-hand experience with funds that are inherently safer, you can start biting into the stock exchange. Here you can earn a lot, but also if you do not control emotions and lose a lot.
You can approach the topic of the stock exchange in this way:
1. start reading books and ebooks about the stock exchange and discussion forums;
2. set up a brokerage account;
3. pay a portion of the money that you can experiment with and the loss will not be painful;
4. start buying and selling.
Apart from knowledge, market tracking, technical and fundamental analysis, the essence of the stock exchange is above all human emotions and the psychology of the crowd. The fact that you know that you shouldn't sell now, for example, has nothing to do with the fact that at some point you start to panic together with the crowd and despite everything you place a sale order. Then you usually spit on your beard.
Playing the stock market requires you to learn your emotions.
Invest money in real estate
Looking at what is happening with the prices of flats, such a tormenting thought comes to mind – if I knew and could, I would have bought a flat a few years ago. Now we don't know when this housing bubble will burst. Anyway, investing in real estate has a lot of advantages: you can choose what you want to buy and where. Whether a flat or land.
Real estate is one of those investments where you buy, forget and then sell with (hopefully large) profit. Of course, everything depends on whether you choose skillfully – for this you need to analyze and track the market. And certainly the actions of the government because their decisions can be a lot of confusion.
Advantages: in fact, you don't need strictly speaking money to buy real estate. Here you can 'leverage' – that is, if you are creditworthy, you can buy a mortgage apartment. In the case of funds and stock exchange you have to start with your own cash. No here – this is a very interesting way to earn money you don't have. You buy with the bank's money, pay off relatively small installments and then…. Well, that's what it's all about:
if it's an apartment, you can decide whether to rent or sell it. You have to remember about taxes – now you will have to pay a lot of money for the sale of an apartment 5 years ago if you do not reinvest in a residential/construction project, unless you register in this apartment – then you can sell without tax after just a year. There are also a few other tricks – if you are interested, please refer to Google.
poor fluidity. While on the stock market from the decision to sell just a few clicks away, it is not so easy with flats/ground. Here you have to freeze your cash register for a longer period – at least a few months. Settlement of courts, formalities, notaries, etc. is dragging on
Uncertainty about the developer. You are buying a new apartment – well, you don't know if it's going to slip and what standard of finishing is going to be. Often you do not know if under the window after half a year they will not build you another storey building eliminating the guaranteed beautiful view.

Sarah's day
Stats: 1 Vomiting; 2 eTOH; 1 RTC with minor injuries; 1 Chest Pain; 1 Purple plus (dead); 1 Faint; 1 Flu; 1 ? assault; 1 Abdo pain.
Sarah was my EOC observer for the day and this was her first introduction to death. Seeing your first dead person can invoke a lot of different emotions, depending on your age, experience and character. She was apprehensive but remained calm and collected – as it should be under such circumstances.
Taking EOC observers is a good idea; they get to see, first-hand, what it is we are doing out here and why we complain so much at times. They can see why the system is generally useless.
Before we went to our dead lady, we were sent to numerous other calls at the head of the day. Our first was a vomiting 54 year-old woman who'd recently had her tooth out under local anaesthetic and was possibly reacting to it. Other than that, she was in good health. Her daughters were on scene and one of them travelled with her to hospital.
As if to prove the worth of our services out there, our next call was for a collapsed male who was sleeping and vomiting in the street. He was a stone's throw (if you have a good arm) from the local alcoholic/drug abuser's hostel and so logic led me to believe this is precisely what we'd see. He was smelly and dirty and messy. Two cops were standing vigil over him as the ambulance swept past after missing the windmill. I managed to catch it and stopped on cue.
There wasn't much to do but take basic obs and assist in hauling him off the pavement and into the ambulance. He had filled his trousers (just for us, I expect) and the stench from that end was over-powering at times but he wasn't in emergency need of anything medical. Trust me; he was drunk and no more than that.
As we sat on stand-by, a woman stopped at the window and told us that a RTC had taken place just behind us. I called it in and Control sent the CAD down because it had already been reported and a MRU was on its way (I know, your brains are confusef by the use of 'a' before RTC and MRU but them's the rules).
Sure enough, on the short sprint up to the location of the RTC, a motorcycle unit turned into the road but he went off, past the accident scene. To be fair, it wasn't obvious because the motorcyclist who'd been knocked off his bike by a car was standing with a small group of people at a corner and if you blinked (or followed the navigation system) you missed him.
He'd been side-swiped by a car at a junction. This caused him to come off his bike at about 30mph, slide along the road and, according to witnesses, slam head-first into a tree. He couldn't remember the tree part, so he may have been momentarily knocked out. He had grazed fingers and a red mark on his head – so minor injuries with no neck pain or other problems. He was lucky not to be dragged under the car, the driver of which stuck around with the witnesses to talk to the police when they arrived. Oh, our MRU got on scene a few minutes after me when he realised his mistake. I could be smug for a few minutes.
In my experience Italians aren't shy people. My next patient was a 52 year-old lady who seemed keen to express her concern at the onset of chest pain by exposing herself without invitation. Luckily I had a chaperone to save my blushes. The lady had developed the pain without any history of illness or cardiac problems – it was probably muscular, or stress-related because she was very hyper…another attribute of Italian people I find. I left this smiling, worried woman talking at a hundred miles an hour with the bemused crew.
On the way back from this call I was asked to attend a possible death. There was already a crew on scene and another FRU was parked up when we arrived on scene. We went into the block of flats and arrived at the door of a terminal cancer sufferer who had died in bed.
She was sitting up, propped by pillows. Police were on scene and the crew were getting on with the necessary procedure for recognition of death. The woman's eyes were closed and there was no pain on her face. She had died a few minutes before the first crew arrived – apparently she'd coughed noisily and then fallen silent.
Sarah got a few minutes to recover but she was fine to be honest. I doubt the memory of it will leave her for a long time, if ever. Everyone remembers their first dead body.
Ear infections can cause other problems, including faint as a result of dizziness and loss of balance. A 40 year-old man lay on an office floor, smiling at me as I asked him about the events leading to his sudden collapse at work. He had no historical reason to pass out except his recent ear infection, which had been left to 'clear up on its own' by his doctor. He was very pale and unsteady on his feet so he was taken by the crew for further checks.
The same crew appeared on the next call for a 77 male who supposedly had chest pain – this Red3 was given to us after a cancellation (for higher priority) on a Red2 for an unconscious person. Where's the logic?
In the end the drama was pointless because the man had flu and was laying in bed with a high temperature, surrounded by a family with coughs and sniffles – no wonder he was ill. The chest pain had been thrown in and taken seriously because he had suffered an MI earlier in the year. Nevertheless, he was not having a cardiac event – he was suffering the effects of a family of open-mouthed coughers. Now I felt at risk from them and I can't afford to be off work ill.
The daughter of the man had tried to call his GP but the receptionist (who is neither medically trained nor able to give advice) told them to call an ambulance. Even the doctor palmed it off on us – he wouldn't go to see his patient. Medical professionals can be the worst abusers of the ambulance service – some of them truly believe we are no more than taxi drivers. With the pressure of work and the lack of personal care that goes with it, we become the means to an end.
Another doctor-influenced call but this time I suspect he was a medical student calling himself one. Again, some of them think we are thick and know nothing of the processes involved in medicine. A qualified doctor would be the first person to give a student short-shrift for adopting the mantle but we are simply paramedics and to some of them, we wouldn't know…but we do.
He'd called us for an 'unconscious' male in the street. The description informed me that there was a 'dr on scene' and when we arrived I saw a lump of human obstruction on the pavement and a young man hovering over it – this, I presumed was our doctor (the hovering man...not the lump).
The man on the ground was conscious and had never been unconscious by all accounts. He was alert enough to pull his arm away from me when I tried to get him to sit up or show me his face. His hood was over his head and he was curled up like a big baby. He simply refused to communicate and had no intention of moving from his bed, so the police were requested to help me move him if necessary.
Meanwhile the 'doctor' decided to stick around and watch the proceedings.
A crew arrived by the time I'd managed to get something tangible out of the man. He heard mention of the police and sat upright, chatting to me as if we were old friends. He was a big Scottish man from the far north and so maybe our common origins had more to do with his response than the threat of arrest.
He had no idea where he was and, although harmless, his ID would have to be checked in case the police had an interest in him.
When they arrived, he was asked the usual questions and none of the answers, apart from his name and where he lived, made sense. He was miles from home and was under the impression that he had to visit a detox centre somewhere locally – there are no such places near to where he was found. Neither was his behaviour fully explained, nor his inaction when I spoke to him initially.
He was left to the crew after he failed to guide them to anywhere sensible when asked to locate his destination.
A 50 year-old man claimed he was assaulted by three men on his way to a tube station in south London. I found him with a minor head injury, sitting on a bench at an underground in the north of town. He told us that he'd been hammered by a brick and then beaten up but there were no other injuries on his body – not a bruise or mark, except for an old stab wound on his abdomen. His language was drunken and mildly aggressive (he threatened retribution on his attackers). I'd asked for police but cancelled them when I became more convinced of his ineptitude at story-telling – his facts were all over the place - than the genuineness of the origin of his injury. He seemed shifty and I believe he was playing a well-rehearsed game.
He'd have to go to hospital for the head injury but as soon as he saw the female crew member he said 'I'm not going with her!' and tried to veer away into the main station. I steered him back in the right direction and reassured him that he was only going to get his head seen to. I meant that in more ways than one.
Haemachromatosis is a genetic disease that elevates serum iron levels and can lead to organ failure. The last call, for a 60 year-old female who worked in a gallery and who'd fainted, had me convinced that she was suffering the effects of her long-term illness. She described a sharp pain that flashed from her Pancreas to her Liver and she was weak and unsteady on her feet.
There's not much we can do for her ailment so she was taken to hospital where a proper test of her blood could be carried out to negate any other problem.
Thus ended Sarah's day on the FRU – it was busy and varied and typical of what we do on the road every day. It didn't daunt her and she's just as keen to be a part of it as ever. Obviously my recruiting tactics are working well.
Be safe.

Very true about never forgetting your first dead body...I was a student nurse and 21...I'm now 45 and I've never forgotten but may I add that it was a 'good' experience compared with some of the traumatic arrests I attended during my 20 years nursing.
Stay safe!

Hey :)
I'm a recent but regular reader of your blog... the things people call 999 for - pffft!
Anyway, I wanted to say that before I read your blog I'd decided to volunteer somewhere... but during the few weeks I've been reading I decided to get on a St John Ambulance course :) (if they'll take me!) you inspired me!
That was a lucky first dead body... the first one I saw was a victim of an RTA... blimey.

My first was when I was a 16-year-old naval cadet. We were doing a week's sea training on a destroyer and were still berthed when I happened to look over the side, and there he was. Belly up, head and feed down.
It was quite clear the man was dead, but we still did the full "man overboard" procedure. He'd been in the water for at least 24 hours with the resultant consequences in getting him out of the water and in the state of the body.

After more than twenty years as Vanity Fair's "Hot Type" columnist, Elissa Schappell has announced on Facebook that she is bidding the magazine "a fond farewell." Schappell, whose books include the story collection Blueprints for Building Better Girls, plans to devote more time to her own writing.
Restless former New Yorker pop critic Sasha Frere-Jones has left his latest gig at the Los Angeles Times after less than a year.
Brian Evenson has an eerie new piece up on People Holding (which publishes short fiction prompted by found photographs of people holding things): "No matter which way we turned the girl, she didn't have a face. There was hair in front and hair in the back—only saying which was the front and which was the back was impossible."
Unlike Wayne Barrett's, Harry Hurt III's 1993 unauthorized biography of Donald Trump will apparently not be reissued because its publisher, Norton, feels it would be "very dangerous" to do so (Hurt's reaction to the news, according to Page Six: "Boy, wow! That is really chickens sh-t!"). Hurt will now have the right to take it elsewhere, if he can find a publisher who doesn't fear legal action. He told Page Six he feels that "The American public needs to know the truth about The Donald's life history before they cast their ballots."
Whit Stillman, director of The Last Days of Disco and Metropolitan, talks about his new film, Love & Friendship, an adaptation of Jane Austen's early epistolary novella Lady Susan: "Lots of comic gold, which sometimes seem to be more Oscar Wildean than Austenian, but she was decades ahead of him."
This is the week of the three-day Norwegian-American Literary Festival (cohosted by The Paris Review), which opens on Thursday with readings at Black Bear Bar by Rachel Kushner, Ben Lerner, Ben Marcus, and Karl Ove Knausgaard, and continues with Friday's discussion at 192 Books between the Norwegian writers Helga Flatland, Johan Harstad, and Maja Lunde.

Some Comics from 9/9/
Let's bat a couple out before I have to run off to the store... IN THE SHADOW OF NO TOWERS: You have to understand, I really don't want to give this a bad review. It feels tacky. It feels like being accusatory to a widow, or something. Everyone who actually lived through 9/11 (as opposed to people like me who watched it on TV), well, they get a certain amount of a Free Pass, y'know? And, fer christ's sake, this is Spiegelman -- he won a Pulitzer, man!
But, here's the thing --this book is really only 10 pages long.
Sure, each page of comics is 2 pages in the book, and there's all that lovely historical comic strip material in the back so the page count is actually larger, but there's only 10 pages of Spiegelman, and it's $19.95
Yes, sir, it has great reproduction (I was pretty transfixed by the pages with art's cigarette smoke wrapping the balloons), and, man alive, art's craft has gotten nothing but better -- these are wonderfully constructed pages, filled with poignancy and passion and grief and outrage. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is Excellent comics.
However, 10 pages for $20? Um, ouch.
I'm not taking a copy of this home, and I think that's the most telling "review" I can give.
PERSEPOLIS 2: While on the other hand, I think this may be something I buy a dozen copies of and give out for Christmas and birthdays to my mostly-not-comics-reading family.
This was astonishingly good, probably one of the most gripping pieces of auto-bio comics I've ever read, and, perhaps more importantly, taught me more about Iran and Iranian culture in the hour I spent with the book than I've learn from the media or education my entire life.
I'd quibble a little with the choice to kinda brush off the "And then I became a drug dealer" section (4 pages to "and then I stopped" and not one of them is anecdotal or relevatory to that, er, "plot point"), but that's probably just me being an asshole about it. Otherwise, there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that this was the best piece of comics I've read so far in 2004.
I absolutely can not recommend this enough -- if you want clear and clever insight, wit and wisdom, passion and change, and wonderful human storytelling, this is the book for you. I can tell you, without reading another comic this week, this is absolutely the Pick of the Week (and probably the year), and I urge you to get your LCS to get a copy for you. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a more heroic man in a comic than Marjane's Father.
Hey, and it's $17.95 for 187 story pages, too! So you get value as well.
(Also, while the background of it can help, it reads pretty well alone without having to buy the first volume, just so you know. The first volume was also terrific, but this one was superb)
And, after those two, I'd feel REALLY FUCKING DUMB if I started writing about CAPTAIN AMERICA or JLA or some breezy superhero book, so more later....

After our two and a half weeks of travel we have finally settled into a routine. And while it is nice, I mean we are steps away from the best beach in the country, working in a hotel stinks.
This is basically our front yard
On another level. When I was a server we would all complain about how much people sucked. But people really can't do that much damage in a restaurant when they are just eating for an hour. Put early 20 somethings in a room together for an entire night and you can imagine what they can come up with. The worst is cleaning the kitchen. Even though we have nice signs everywhere reminding people (more or less politely) to wash and put their dishes away but no one does. The first night we had thirty five backpackers and through out the night it seemed as if they were playing an epic game of Jenga as they stacked them up on the drying rack. The pile was nearly three foot high with each dish perfectly positioned to continue building on. This was frustrating enough but even more were the people who decided there were too many dishes so they would just leave their dirty ones around the sink. It took me an extra hour just to rewash all the dishes while Alex worked on vacuuming everything around me. This is just our night time job, in the mornings we also have to make up the rooms as they leave. So basically… its a lot of work and people are gross and slobby but everything else is fantastic. The meals they feed us at night are dinners you'd receive at a five star restaurant. And they gave us our own room with our own king sized bed and our own beautiful freezing bathroom (which I don't mind the cold because this is an alcohol free hostel (SAY WHATT) so we need a place to stand in for a refrigerator to keep our smuggled goods cold). And there's this awesome painting over our bed! We also get to use the bikes and kayaks for free and we get every few days off. Its really not so bad, its just harder to make friends with the people passing through when you clean up their messes all day. We have had an exception though. The Kiwi Experience backpacker bus drops off every other day but the backpackers are allowed to stay a few nights and get on another bus when they are ready. After the first bus three people stayed so we got to know them a little better (and teach the dutch boy how to do dishes!). So anyways since we are the cool kids now with our awesome station wagon, we invited them to go to the Abel Tasman National Park with us, just 13 kilometers up the road.
This park is gorgeous, just miles of sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
We were greeted by this awesome scene at the first beach. One day these will be full grown mussels.
We decided to go for an hour and a half hike passing more gorgeous beaches and trails that wound through the jungle and up the mountain. Unfortunately we moved a little slower than we thought we would so as the sun started to go down just a little, we decided just to hit one more beach and head back. There was a mud slide of a trail to our right that was basically a vertical drop for 300 feet (maybe… I really am no good at judging these things) with ropes made out of hoses to help you not die. It led to yet again another stunning beach but by that time we needed to spice things up. We decided we would walk back by climbing over the rocky parts of the shore. It was a terrible idea. As the tide started rolling in each step became a little more dangerous. We climbed for nearly 25 minutes before we got to a cliff we just couldn't get around. Our new friend Ollie decided to test the water for depth but it was well up to his thighs and everyone had given up hope. Ollie and our other new friend Casper had only worn chucks and were slipping and sliding over the moss covered rocks.
Classic Ollie apparently...
It was way harder than we had thought, we ended up having to go all the way back, and we are really luck no one got hurt but I must say it was still totally worth it because… we saw a seal :):)
I love seals. So yes that was our adventure. Tomorrow is our first day off and we are going to drive up to the largest sand spit in the world!

Authors: Sébastien Latour & Giulio De Vita

Merlin is dying, cut down by Glee the Goblin's bullets. And Nigel's control over his powers is still insufficient to save him with a wish. One solution left: a vial of dragon blood, the only artefact that can revive the enchanter. The problem is that the vial is at MI-10 headquarters, part of its commander George Cross's private collection. It's time for the last of the Genies to go on the offensive.
This series has been quite fun since it started. If you liked the recent BBC TV series Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel in which faery magic and "that Other Land" clashed with Europe at the time of the Napoleonic Wars then you might get into this series.
We saw in the previous part how Merlin fell and now he is dying. In this final part things come to a head and I suspect the "quiet" that follows is just before the storm. The script and art have been excellent throughout but there is one fault that I am guessing will slip past a lot of people. However, I notice these things like a flare going "bang" 3 feet away. The Inspector decides to take his gun with him and removes it from his desk drawer. No. Guns have to be issued and signed out and that has always been the case with officers using fire arms being trained. Just keeping an automatic in your desk drawer -YAAGH!
Ahem. Sorry. But that was the one flaw and I do so hate not having something to moan about. Added to the art which, as I wrote, is excellent, we again have the superior colour work which has really distinguished this series -but you have to buy the book to see the credits. Nope, not with CBO. The colour work is by Federico Pietrobon and I think colourists get ignored too much.
This is a great series and I think if cos-players discovered it there might be quite a few bowler hate and faery cane types walking about!
