When hospitalized Holden always loved his wagon rides. Rules were rules, and no one was allowed to touch him while he was in there, giving him a security blanket. He'd buckle in and we'd circle the hospital waving at every doctor, nurse, tech, or whoever we ran into. It was Holden's parade, and everyone loved the grandstanding, treating it as if it was the first time we'd done it.
As his health declined, the number of IV's he required sometimes limited his wagon time, or made it difficult to travel because of the number of people needed to participate. It was tough for him, because Holden needed that time. It was his time.
We learned the importance of these vehicles, not only for Holden, but for all the children who are hospitalized. It allows them to have some sort of normalcy through a rocky period in their lives. When laying the groundwork for the foundation we immediately felt that creating hospital appropriate wagons should be one of our main goals. Join us in sponsoring a wagon today.
The wagons provided to hospitals through Yellow Brick Road are made from stainless steel and non-porous materials, and can be emblazoned to commemorate the donor. They are manufactured in the USA by Wunderworks of America. If you'd like more information about sponsoring a wagon, please contact us at email@example.com.

Is Pantai Cenang having the same direction as Pantai Kuta, Bali had in the 90's? Read further..
We were pretty confident when driving from Oriental Village, located at the base of Machincang towards Pantai Cenang (Cenang Beach). We're familiar with Pantai Cenang as we've been there 20 years ago. We were wrong. Soon after the road that partly circulate the airport's runway and exactly after Meritus, we came into a busy road as if there's a festival going on in that area. This is Pantai Cenang in 2017, way different than it was in 1997. This is our story, our thoughts about this Pantai Cenang, a place that has forever changed Langkawi as a whole, hopefully for the betterment of the locals. Fingers crossed.
We saw a boy 'working hard' to build his version of sandcastle. Coming from new generation, he probably have a different mindset and perspective towards the shape of sandcastle. He might not be an orthodox-thinker, not of old-school, old-fashioned so to say. He might be looking at things differently than both of us; we have our own way to build a perfect sandcastle. We don't know what was playing in his head. And we will never know unless we ask. A similar thing with what's happening with Pantai Cenang.
Exactly 20 years ago, in the same month of December, we were at Pelangi Beach Resort, currently known as Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa. We still remember how we rented two small motorcycle: dubbed as Kapcai (minus the helmet and license) and head towards south where Holiday Villa is located now. Yes, that includes Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah. I remember this old lady who insisted us to come over to her house and had delicious snacks with that bitter black coffee. Shops were smaller, eateries were few and kids wander around, caring less about incoming traffic.
20 years later, we went through the same area. This time around, we drove. The problem was, we spent quite some time to find a good parking space. There are just too many cars now, not to mention the red taxis which were different as in 20 years ago. When it comes to public transportation in Langkawi, back in 90's, it's all about that Kereta Sewa, where those with less cash will have to wait until the whole car or van is full with passengers, in most cases (if you are alone), sharing with 3 people that you have no idea who they are. That was then. This is 2018 now, as we drafted this article (written based on our visit in December 2017).
We found an interesting article published by The Expat Magazine, titled as The Evolution of Pantai Cenang, Langkawi. (Click HERE to read the article). It's really an interesting article, describing the development of Pantai Cenang, weighing in the pros and cons of having more development for tourism and listing the redevelopment plan by LADA. It's great to know that at least someone else is in the same boat, thinking of how Cenang will look like in the future. The writer of the article said..
"Change always brings positives and negatives, depending on individual perception, and how that change is carried out and managed. As is the opinion of many resident business owners in Langkawi, we will all just have to wait and see… once the dust finally settles." (Source: click HERE)
We both have no intention to go deeply into the locals wish to develop Pantai Cenang. We are not against development. Development is important for the social and economic growth. After all, Cenang is their place where they have to work hard in order to be able to put the bread on the table. All that we hope is the locals, business owners, developers and the authorities are in the same direction, championing Sustainable Development.
"Sustainable development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while at the same time sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depend. The desired result is a state of society where living and conditions and resource use continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural systems." (Source: Click HERE)
Pantai Cenang and its endless souvenir shops, spas, hotels, motels, restaurants, cafes, bar and so on, reminds both of us a lot of Kuta in Bali, Indonesia. The narrow road with its congestion is almost similar to Cenang. What else are similar? Beach activities. Not to mention that the airport is closer in both Cenang and Kuta. It will take about 2 hours to get to a hotel in Kuta from the airport during New Year's Eve, normal days, that's less than 10 minutes. Hopefully, it's not the same in Cenang, now and forever.
Don't get us wrong; we do love Cenang and Kuta. We love walking around that many shops in Cenang. Cenang reminds us a lot of our great moments in Kuta, Bali to a point that we regard Cenang as Kuta of Langkawi. Well, if not now, in few years time. There are lots of eateries at Cenang. The Cenang beach is equally beautiful as Kuta Beach and so are the locals; they are so friendly. As avid travelers, we are looking forward to return to Cenang and stay here for few days.
Our hope is to see that Cenang develops as one great destination for travelers but at the same time learning the mistakes of other places in the world. While Kuta is already one great destination, it will certainly be hard to reverse its current state to a more flexible area in the sense of being able to re-accommodate things that should have been there in the first place and 'delete' the bad elements. One good example is, Kuta's traffic congestion. Expand the shoulder of the road and serious talks with land owners is mandatory. Logically speaking, when the value of each square meter is about to become infinity, owners will have hard time to let it go.
Luckily, some vendors are thinking of mobile units. It's a trend now as what they dubbed as Food Trucks. It is a way to reduce construction of more permanent buildings. Let's just hope this kind of vendors looks after the cleanliness of the area. But again, if a place is so pack with vehicles, small and big, where would they park their mobile entities? It is the local government responsibility to decide what is best for Cenang and it is up to the business owners to strategically locate their businesses. At the end of the day, it will be up to the locals to decide what is best for them.
While we did enjoy being in Cenang recently, we have to say that we are a bit worried that one day the locals will find out that it is too late to reverse things, correcting things that they should not be doing in the first place. While they have every right to decide what is best for them, the future generation, which is obviously their own children, are entitled to have greater space to live in. Squeeze in everything into a small space and just a little adjustment will result in dispute between owners.
We love Langkawi so much, it is a great place to live in or at least for a vacay. While development is much needed, we hope to see that Cenang itself is not overly-developed for the sake of tourism. Cenang beach is already one beautiful and great place thus we hope in 10 years to come, we all get to see adequate facilities and attractions for visitors but at the same time the people of Cenang gives equal consideration towards sustainable development.
Did we see Kuta in Cenang? Yes. Is Pantai Cenang almost similar to Pantai Kuta? Almost. Is drastic development for the sake of tourism at Cenang is inevitable as what happened to Kuta? There is a tendency, a probability. Hopefully, we are both wrong. Is it too much to say that Cenang has now becoming touristically developed that one day it will be too late to reverse certain actions? Not really as there is similar patent as what happened to Kuta, Bali. Once again, we hope we are wrong.
Did we enjoy our time as much as we enjoyed our stay in Kuta, Bali? Yes, 100%. So, according to both our opinions, is Cenang itself resembles Kuta? Absolutely. What do you have to say? For both of us, Cenang is about to become Kuta of Langkawi.
This article is of our own opinion and we wrote it as we hope to see Pantai Cenang remain as it is now and not being too overly-developed. We are not being endorsed by any third party in order to express our own thoughts about Pantai Cenang. Langkawi is one of our favorite holiday destinations in Malaysia and for that we hope to see the locals preserve some of their 'cores' for the world to see and embrace.

Hotshots are to firefighting what Special Forces are to the military. Their training is intense. Their assignments are extreme. And their members are some of the most elite firefighters in the world.
Credit: David McNew/Getty Images
These elite firefighters are up against high erratic winds, extreme temperatures, fast-moving flames and low light conditions. Yet, they run toward danger, as seemingly everyone else is running away.
"They're the ones that are going to be assigned to the most challenging parts of the fire," says Jennifer Jones, a Public Affairs Specialist with the U.S. Forest Service. "Hotshots go into the steepest terrain, the most active parts of the fire."
It's not uncommon for Hotshots to drop into steep terrain and climb up the sides of mountains to combat wildland fires. As such, they have to learn how to battle the blazes, using only equipment they can carry with their hands.
When a call comes in, they drop everything and fly or drive long distances to combat out-of-control wildfires, wherever they may be. In fact, in 2014, the National Interagency Fire Center calculated that Hotshots drove a staggering 4,879,912 miles to respond to an average of 112 wildfires per crew.
Credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Hotshots are specifically trained to respond to fires in the most remote regions of the U.S., where there is little to no logistical support to aid in firefighting efforts.
Credit: Hector Mata/AFP/Getty Images
Hotshots have to be at the peak of physical fitness. Their training regiments include doing 40 sit-ups in 60 seconds and running one and a half miles in under 11 minutes.

Hotshot crews trace their history back to the late 1940s, when they were assigned to the hottest parts of the wildfires in Southern California's Cleveland and Angeles National Forests.

Merriam-Webster defines "hotshot" as "a person who is conspicuously talented or successful." So, considering their elite status within the firefighting community, Hotshots is an apt name from a formal English language perspective as well.
Bulldozers and firetrucks aren't able to follow Hotshots into the remote wilderness. So, these elite firefighters learn to use smaller equipment, like chainsaws and shovels, to combat out-of-control wildfires instead.
To become a Hotshot, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service states that firefighters must "achieve an arduous rating on the 'Pack Test,' which requires you to walk 3 miles with a 45 pound backpack in 45 minutes or less."
Here, firefighters from the Alta Hotshots trek up steep terrain in full gear to battle a blaze, illustrating just why that sort of training is necessary.
Hotshot crews can be called to fires anywhere in the United States, but most calls take them out to the drought-ridden West.
To get there, Hotshots primarily travel by truck, van or plane. To get to the more remote fire sites, however, crews must either hike or drop in by helicopter.
During the six months of peak wildfire season, hotshots are on call 24 hours a day and seven days a week. In fact, much of their work is done at night when temperatures are cooler and the relative humidity in the air is higher.
Fire assignments often take Hotshots away from home for several weeks at a time.
They pack all the water and supplies they need, then camp out on the ground near the wildland fire they're working to suppress.
Most often sleeping in remote wilderness locations, Hotshots are lucky to get a shower every couple of days.
There are about 2,000 Hotshots nationwide, divided into roughly 107 crews of 20 firefighters.
Here, a column of U.S. Forest Service Hotshot firefighters walk along the edge of the Springs fire near Camarillo, California, May 4, 2013.
While Hotshots hike up to battle remote wildfires on foot, Smokejumpers parachute in. These elite wildland firefighters are most often deployed to battle wildfires in extremely remote areas, before the flames spread far enough to pose a threat.
After Smokejumpers land near a blaze, food and water are dropped down to them by parachute. This way, they can be self-sufficient for up to 48 hours at a time.
Hotshots and Smokejumpers are considered the two most highly skilled, trained, and experienced firefighting crews at the U.S. Forest Service's disposal. Becoming a Smokejumper, however, is a bit more competitive because, while there are about 2,000 Hotshots nationwide, there are only about 400 smokejumpers. So, you often see Hotshots becoming Smokejumpers after a few years of service.
Rookie Smokejumpers must complete a five-week course of training, in which they do 15 parachute jumps into various terrains, including trees, open areas and lakes.
Hotshots often work 12 to 16 hour days combating fast-moving wildfires by constructing fire lines, clearing brush away from encroaching fires, and digging trenches down to the mineral soil on which fire cannot burn.
In July 2013, former Hotshot squad boss Frank Carroll described the intense training Hotshot firefighters endure to National Geographic:
"You run for miles and you put on all of your gear--it's about 40 pounds --and you walk straight up the side of a mountain until you get to the top and then you come back down and do it again... You do push-ups and pull-ups and you run some more."
Here, firefighters of the Blue Ridge Hotshots crew from the Coconino National Forest in Arizona clear trees and brush ahead of a 226-square-mile fire in Pacoima Canyon, California.
The ability to survive in the outdoors is crucial when working as a Hotshots firefighter. In fact, the website for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Fire Management Branch asks all prospective applicants:
"Can you drive a truck with a manual transmission? Can you change a tire? Can you run a chainsaw? Can you pitch a tent? Can you tie half a dozen knots and sharpen a knife? Can you read a topographic map? Can you use a compass?"
These skills no doubt come in handy when battling fast-moving wildfires in extreme weather conditions and low light. The Payson Hotshots pictured here, for example, work at night to monitor a back burn near Tuscon, Arizona.
Sadly, though, being a Hotshot is extremely dangerous.
On June 30, 2013, 19 of the 20 members of the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew from Prescott, Arizona were killed while battling an out-of-control wildfire near Yarnell, Arizona.
When 45 mile-per-hour wind gusts caused the fire to overtake their position, the Hotshots were forced to deploy emergency tent-like fire structures, which were meant to shield them from the flames and heat, but proved insufficient. The lone survivor of the crew only escaped because he was moving the crew's truck when the flames roared over the men. It was the nation's biggest loss of firefighters in a wildfire in 80 years.

A memorial for the 19 fallen firefighters of the Granite Mountain Hotshots crew was erected in Prescott, Arizona, just across the street from Station 72 where the men were stationed. Many people came to pay their respects.

The 19 fallen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots crew left behind families of grieving loved ones. Here, two of their children's baby clothes hang in remembrance at the memorial.
Loved ones grieve as the casket carrying the bodies of two of the nineteen firefighters killed fighting the Yarnell Fire arrive aboard a C-130 transport plane to the Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos Air Field on July 10, 2013.
The memorial ramp ceremony, which took place shortly after this photo was taken, honored Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew members 21-year-old Kevin Woyjeck and 20-year-old Christopher MacKenzie.

The phrase "executive summary" is strange.
"Oh, you're the most important person? You only need to read this. Everyone else: Go ahead and waste your time with the full thing!"
Why should only executives be spared the task of reading fluff? If the important, power-wielding, DECIDER only needs to read a few paragraphs to get what's going on, that should be enough for everyone else too.
Sure, the real context of these summaries is usually "If you don't have full bandwidth right now, read this." But if that's the real meaning, why not have a title which accurately reflects that?

Mindy Warren, Director of Birth Center Services and Pam Smart, Care Integration Coordinator at Community Connections instruct Bridges Out of Poverty, a program founded by Dr. Ruby K. Payne. Dr. Payne is an expert on the mindsets of economic classes and on crossing socioeconomic lines in education, work, and for social change. The essence of Bridges is a uniquely powerful tool designed to create a deeper understanding of people who live in poverty and their challenges and strengths. The definition of poverty, from the Bridges perspective, is the "extent to which an individual does without resources." The resources are: Financial, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical, support systems, relationships/role models, knowledge of hidden rules and coping strategies. Typically, poverty is thought of in terms of financial resources. The reality is that financial resources alone do not explain the differences in the success with which some individuals leave poverty or stay. Included in NVRH's strategic plan is the goal to address the challenges for those who live in poverty, and discover ways to work collaboratively with organizations and people in the NEK to create opportunities for success. Bridges operates from the belief that when individuals, institutions and communities work together, policies can change. Having a clearer understanding of hidden rules, knowing the unspoken cues and habits of a group of people, as well as differences between generational and situational poverty is a small portion of what people will learn in this workshop. Employees involved in social, health and legal services can learn about redesigning programs to better serve people; build skill sets for management to help guide employees; upgrade training for front line staff including receptionists, caseworkers and managers; improve treatment outcomes in healthcare and behavioral healthcare and increase the likelihood of moving from welfare to work. "Mindy and Pam offer a truly wonderful experience. Not only is the material interesting, but their ability to help people broaden their perspective and sharpen their awareness and sensitivity of what some people cope with in daily life is impressive. It's impossible to leave the workshop without a clearer understanding of how people may perceive me as well. They rolled out the whole program beautifully. It left me with a new awareness, as well as a desire to help facilitate change," said Hilary De Carlo, one of the participants. There will be five additional courses taught during 2016. For information, please call Pam Smart at 748-7395.

In case you're wondering the "crack" he refers to isn't what he's on, that would be adrenaline, it's what they call the Swiss gorge he flies through.

Anissa Lang was going for gold when an accident ended her skiing dream. Now she's cleaning chalets. Until brooding millionaire, Leo Baxter whisks her away to New York. But they must confront their pasts before their Christmas wishes can come true!
Amazon UK
My Thoughts…
A 21st-century fairytale romance, with a festive twist.
Anissa is recovering from a devastating sports injury that threatens to end a gold medal career; she is training hard, teaching skiing and working as a part-time chalet maid when she meets billionaire Leo, who is struggling with unexpected family problems. Their passionate encounter affects them both emotionally, and Leo asks Anissa to go to New York with him.
Providing you accept that the storyline is pure fairytale this is enjoyable; there are lovely descriptions of New York sites and events and many tender moments between the couple. There are plenty of 'Cinderella similarities, but this isn't the deep, emotional read you expect from this series. However, it is festive, romantic and easy to read and the ending is heartwarming.
I received a copy of this book from Mills& Boon via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

One Big Happy Photo
Gotta love enjoying a sweet peach! This little boy was super alert and so calm. He posed perfectly for me so that I could create this adorable bucket pose.
I call this image "Freshly Picked" because you can't get any fresher than a sweet newborn, at least right after a bath. His mom and dad wanted me to get as creative as possible.
This little girl was the sweetest "shirley temple" big sister. She was happy to cuddle her new little brother and enchant me with her big brown eyes at the same time.
Mom and Dad are huge comic book fans, and Dad's favorite is Batman. So I promised Mom I would surprise her husband with something really special for his office. Guarantee no other Dad is going to have baby Batman on their wall.

Hah, I actually imagines Caroline in Felicity's meet outfit. Sometime I should go down to the rose garden by the art center and take some pictures of her among the dead roses to go with this. But wait maybe not 'cause there's no way I'm doing on-location shooting with her curls. Hmmm *shrugs*
Oh my goodness, thank you! Yeah, it is - I'm one of those people who will look back at something they did the month before and despise it. *shrugs* But I might! There's a short story I wrote last summer I'm thinking about; it needs some editing, but in general I'm fairly proud of it. :)

I've recently upgraded from webix 5 to 6 in my Cordova (PhoneGap) IOS app and noticed that the "tel:" links (click to call) have stopped working. Is this a known bug and is there any workaround?
Please note that in my app I'm using both webix and the mobile scheduler complex widget (I've upgraded both). The issue seems to be with webix though - as soon as I switch back to version 5.0 of webix framework in my app the "tel:" links start working again (even without rolling-back the mobile scheduler version).
Best regards,
After investigating this further I believe that the issue is with implementation of Touch module in Webix 6.0.
When I disable this module using webix.Touch.disable() the href="tel:xxx" links start working (but the app becomes quite unresponsive).
Could you please look into this?
Also is it possible to disable Touch only for a specific html element (div or link)?
Best regards,
I can confirm the issue. Thank you for the report. We need some time to fix the regression. We will notify you as soon as the solution is available
Sorry for the delay. We will try to provide a fix till April release.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

I used various tutorials to successfully flash a recovery and used that to do a successful nandroid backup of my rooted 2.2 Vortex. I downloaded and copied a stock rooted 2.2.2 ROM for the restore. The MD5 check for the following ROM files matched after copying them to the /sdcard/nandroid/mem=447M/stock222 folder:
Affter selecting the restore option I quickly get an "Oops, something went wrong" error. The last part of the error log lists:
I:Boot command: boot-recovery
I:Got arguments from boot message

I:Set boot command "boot-recovery"

My phone returned to normal after a reboot. Can someone offer clues as to why the 2.2.2 ROM restore was unsuccessful? Thanks.

Save the date to see The Doors Live At The Bowl '68 on the big screen on Tuesday, November 27 at 8 p.m.
Tickets and sreening locations
The Doors concert at the Hollywood Bowl could have (and should have) been great theatre. There was Jim Morrison, moving with animal grace, exuding his own peculiar sexuality, obviously in a good mood and ready to give his audience everything they wanted and possibly more. […] Why, then, was the concert so unexciting, so bland, so undramatic?
Jim Morrison's leather pants
OK. Maybe the concert sucked, but the iconic leather pants and concho belt! C'mon people. It's not all bad. You can see these pants in the Los Angeles Hard Rock café memorobilia collection. They also have hand-writtern LA Woman Lyrics by Jim. L.A. Music Blog lists these pants as the number one item on their Top 5: Hard Rock Cafe – Hollywood Memorabilia list.
Live At The Bowl '68 Triva
This concert was recorded in it's entirety with four different cameras (including a fifth slo-mo camera) and is the only live performance professionally recorded in color. It wasn't until 2012's "Live At The Bowl" that the entire performance was made available to fans, this time in High Definition and with all of the original audio.
from raymanzarek.com
Mick Jagger (of The Rolling Stones) attended this performance. It was his first time seeing The Doors live, and although he later said that he enjoyed the show overall, he also complained that some of the songs dragged on too long.
from IMDb
Jim Morrison had taken LSD prior to going on stage. The effects become noticable during the set. John densmore commented that "I felt something was a bit off, Jim would come in early or late in different sections of the song."

Respond to transfer students faster with automated transcript data capture and processingAn efficient transcript capture and transfer credit evaluation (TCE) process is a win-win situation. Students save money and time while the institution boosts enrollment and has a happier student body. But manual, paper-based review can make these processes slow and cumbersome – forcing students to wait weeks or even months to receive equivalency decisions. A wait that can cost you best-fit students.
- Pull demographic, term course and grade data from transcripts and stores them automatically
- Search for course equivalencies already accepted by the institution automatically and pushes any matches to the student information system (SIS)
- Update the SIS automatically, removing the error-prone manual data entry process
These efficiencies lead to faster turnarounds times on transfer credit decisions, improving the chances of your institution enrolling best-fit students.
Speed credit evaluations by automating student transcript processing and review
With a Hyland solution, you can inform students of how their courses will fit into their chosen academic programs sooner, eliminating the waiting game. And because advisors are armed with the most current information, they're able to guide and encourage students to register for the correct courses from the beginning.
The system reads data from transcripts accurately so students are awarded the proper credit the first time. Staff can either scan paper transcripts or import transcripts received electronically. The solutions reads the data automatically to capture course information – replacing tedious, manual data entry.

A Government-commissioned independent review has found that the UK's construction industry faces "inexorable decline" unless radical steps are taken to address its longstanding problems.
The Farmer Review of the UK Construction Labour Model highlights construction's dysfunctional training model, its lack of innovation and collaboration as well as its non-existent research and development (R&D) culture. Low productivity continues to hamper the sector, while recent high levels of cost inflation, driven by a shortage of workers, has stalled numerous housing schemes as they have become too expensive to build.
Led by Mark Farmer, chief executive of Cast, a real estate and construction consultancy, the hard-hitting report says we need to better align the needs of construction firms and the businesses who hire them. "If you buy a new car, you expect it to have been built in a factory to exacting standards, to be delivered on time, to an agreed price and to a predetermined quality," said Farmer.
"This needs to happen more in construction, so that the investors, developers or building owners hiring construction firms increasingly dictate the use of modern methods of delivery and invest appropriately in the skills agenda to grow this part of the industry. There are more similarities between manufacturing and construction than many people are led to believe and this perception needs to change, starting in the housing market"
One of the recommendations set out for the medium term is a deterrent scheme that would see a tax levy placed on businesses that buy construction work in a way that doesn't support industry innovation or skills development.
Under the proposed scheme, clients could face paying a suggested levy equal to 0.5% of a scheme's construction cost but would have the ability to avoid paying this tax completely by commissioning construction in a more responsible way.
Farmer, a 25-year veteran of the industry, and former partner at EC Harris, said the industry needs to be far more joined-up with its clients in how it approaches R&D and skills. He also wants ministers to directly intervene in certain areas to ensure many of the issues identified are rectified.
Farmer added: "The construction industry is in dire need of change. What is clear to me following the nine months spent conducting this review is that carrying on as we are is simply not an option. With digital technology advancements pushing ahead in almost every other industry and with the construction labour pool coming under serious pressure, the time has come for action. The construction industry doesn't have the impetus needed for this change, it requires external action to initiate change.
"Unless we find some way of promoting innovation in construction and making the work less labour intensive and more attractive to new entrants, there's a very real danger of the construction sector going into an inexorable decline over the next few years. I hope this review generates some debate in the sector and all involved can consider their role in safeguarding the industry's long term health."

Weed Wacker quilt with a different border. It'll be more of a vines and leaves border.
So, right now I'm doing quilt math to see how much fabric I'll need. The fabrics I'm using are intended to look like a fall scrappy quilt and I'll cut 3 or 4 of each fabric.
I'll have the kit of fabrics ready to start sewing on January 1. It will be done by January 30, so to help keep me focused, I plan to blog about my progress on Saturdays in January.
I'm looking for suggestions on a different name for the quilt. The St. Dunstan's quilters don't care for the name Weed Wacker, so they asked me to come up with a nicer name. If you have any suggestions, why not leave me a comment. I'm only stitching the label towards the end of January, so that should leave lots of time to come up with a name.

In a season of commencement speeches and advice to graduates, I was reminded of an old newspaper column called "Nobody asked me, but …" So here are some lessons, learned from a master teacher.
As you prepare to graduate, you are likely filled with conflicting feelings of fear about the unknown and confidence about your readiness for new challenges. Given the quality of the education you've received at Shelter Island School, you will be carrying with you the basic tools to succeed, but you haven't been taught all you will need. (more…)

Ego Alert: Jamie Dimon Makes His Biggest Mistake
Jamie Dimon let his ego get the best of him and it caused a major error in judgement. Often times, ego is the downfall of some of the greatest men in history. Word surfaced today that Jamie Dimon would keep his head directors role along with the CEO title at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM). The vote was tight but ultimately he succeeded. Word has it that Jamie Dimon threatened to quit if the head director role was taken away from him.
What Was The Critical Error?
He should have let the company name another director as head. Why? He would enshrined himself as one of the greatest leaders of all time through the financial crisis and beyond. If he let the directors position go, any negatives the company experienced in the future would be blamed partially on him not being in that leadership role. If the company continues to have success, it would still be looked at as his company as the CEO.
Ultimately, he would have insulated himself slightly by allowing another person to take his place as director. By staying in the position, everything that happens will be under an even closer microscope with his head on the chopping block. This was a simple ego move my Jamie Dimon with no real thought. It will be an error in judgement he will likely regret in the years to come.

Remember my statement "No Rain, No Rainbows". I should have known if I confessed out loud God's goodness the enemy would hear me and act on it.
I am not sure what you believe but I believe that the statement in Ephesians 6 is truly happening in my life.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Each trip that I have gone to Nicaragua I have strong battles before I leave. As God has increased my ministry so have the battles increased.
The rain has come and gone each time. Some times its just shower after shower and other times the storms are so hard I can't see my nose in front of my face. Each time I have tried hard to pass the test and to be honest most times I have failed. I am learning each time that I must be stronger and stronger when the storms come because they are going to come.
The Lord reminds me of the story in the bible where the disciples were in the boat and Jesus was asleep. The stronger the storm came the more fear they had. Some days lately I know how they felt. Other days I see where they should have spoken to the storm and told it to stop.
Did he not give us the same power as him? He told the disciples you will do the same as I did and you will have the same power I had through the name of Jesus.
If that is true, then why do we shake and tremble during the storms? I truly wished I knew why some days I am hard as a rock in my faith and other days I let the storms knock me right out of the boat.
I can truly say that I am excited about what God is going to do when I get to Nicaragua. Even in the midst of a very strong set of storms I can praise Him. I have never seen the devil work so hard as he is now.
Here are some examples of my storms. (I don't like to share personal things by the way, but if I don't share my tests, how will you understand my testimonies)
1. The soccer tournament is a week away. I have been collecting soccer uniforms for my 10 teams and as of yesterday I was 3 teams short. How could I take uniforms to only 7 teams. Which 7 would I chose from? Sounds petty? Put yourselves in my shoes. Where in the world can I get 3 adult size sets of soccer uniforms with a week to go?
2. Remember those two boxes I shipped to Nicaragua? They were due to arrive last week and as of yesterday could not be found anywhere in Nicaragua. All my equipment for the tournament are in those boxes. As of 5pm this evening the boxes have been found but will not be delivered until the 27th, after the soccer tournament.
3. Remember a little over a month ago my son Jordon wrecked his car? Well it is totaled and we had to sell it for salvage for $150 and we had to take a loan out to buy another car for him. We purchased a more expensive car for him than the one he had, got a loan payment for the first time in 15 or more years and as of yesterday this new car has had to be parked because something bad happen to it and now it is going to cost me over half of what it is worth to fix it. $3 - 4,000 possibly. Obviously, not going to happen considering we have had no income since June 13th.
4. The boy who translates for me in Nicaragua was blessed to purchase a car this year. He has worked very hard and saved for a very long time. He has been the one taking Oscar back and forth to the doctor's office to get the blood tests for me. Today he informed me that his car broke down on the side of the road and it took 4 hours until someone came to help him. He then had to push it out of the road and drive his friends car home. In the frustrating moments he didn't see a pole and backed into it and damaged the bumper of his car. He barely has the money to buy gas much less fix his car.
I could continue to tell you more storms but this email will go on and on so now I would rather share how I choose to see these storms.
1. I had received 3 sets of uniforms from a company when I first started this project in March. I emailed him and poured my heart out and just ask him if he could help to please consider doing so. Yesterday I got 3 sets of uniforms delivered to my house. Now all 10 teams will be receiving "new to them" uniforms...
2. Those boxes are GOD's equipment. He owns all of the stuff. He is in control of this tournament and if I am to have them there, THEY WILL be delivered on time. He blessed me with the tons of equipment for these boys so it's his problem now not mine.
3. The car is the property of God. I reminded him today, His car is broke and he needs to fix it. I choose not to worry about it. Some people have no cars.... We have at least 2. Who am I to complain?
4. After talking to Carlos about his car I reminded him that he is a new driver and dents are going to come. Don't worry about fixing something you might break it again. He agreed it would save him money if he did not worry about it.
5. Oscar is doing well and the doctors are preparing him for the next phase. His mom is getting the tests she needs. Go has blessed me so far with enough money to pay for the needs so far. I know more will come but we don't have an estimate right now. So with this miracle alone our faith should be encouraged.
As you can see the winds are blowing very hard in my life. We need your prayers and agreement with us as we continue to trust God. He has never let us down and he won't now. Yes things look very hard right now and yes we have no idea how we are going to fix the car or even pay for any part of fixing it. This is our down time and our income level has almost run out but still we stand strong and SPEAK to this Storm and command THEM to leave us alone.
I rest in the scripture, "NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER"...
Your constant prayers are so needed. As strong as I can be today, tomorrow I may be very very weak. Just ask some of my friends this week... but together we can hold each others arms up.
Is the SON shining at your house or do you have storms? I'm expecting a rainbow how about you?

text: For anyone whose dream vacation involves being far away from tourists and crowds, consider the more off-beat option of the Old Coupland Inn and Dancehall. This quaint bed-and-breakfast is located 35 minutes outside of Austin in Coupland, and revolves around two things: good music and good food (Texas music and Southern homestyle cooking to be exact). Every weekend offers another chance to see some talented musicians at the dance hall. Among the big names who have made their way on its stage is Dale Watson, Roger Creager, Kevin Fowler, and Bob Schneider, just to name just a few. The restaurant is known for barbecue, but don't overlook other comfort food classics like chicken fried steak and fried catfish. Aside from the eating and dancing, the fun of the Old Coupland Inn and Dancehall is getting to stay in a historic building built in 1904. Throughout the course of its 114-year history, the building has housed a drug company, tavern, newspaper, and grocery. And it just so happens that the seven unique rooms in the inn are styled like an 1800s Wild West brothel. If you love country music, country-style food, and old-timey Texas, then this is the place for you.

The Thrilling Potential of SixthSense Technology
At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper "laptop." In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he'll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.
How to Optimize for Google Search Engine
This post is very important for Search engine optimizer. So follow this post very carefully and realize these tips and tricks for web marketing and web promotion.I find this article from sitepro news.
This article is not about keyword research so I will not spend too much time on this topic, however, I felt it was important to at least brush on this slightly. If you are interested in reading more, please see Keyword Research for Organic SEO.
Make sure that your targets are achievable. If you select the wrong keywords, it can make your entire optimization experience essentially a waste. Choose keywords that are attainable but yet still provide a reasonable search frequency for your industry. Your phrase selection should also be targeted to bring qualified traffic to your site.
Using the hotel industry as an example, targeting the word "hotel" would make very little sense but by narrowing it down to "Victoria BC hotel" you now have less competition, and a more qualified audience. Keep your targets in perspective and go after the obtainable rankings.

For More Information:
New phones for 2008 -2010
1 . Nokia 888 Communicator
2 . Nokia Aeon
Nokia Aeon was presented by Nokia on their website in the Research & Development section. What is so great about this phone is that it looks like it will actually go into production next February. Of course, its just a rumor, but still, makes us hope to actually see it someday in the GSM shop. All we know about it for now is that its a touchscreen phone and it looks fantastic.
3 . Sky "Sleak n Slim"
"Sleek & Slim" from SKY is another concept based on touchscreen technology. The phone has a discretely glowing touchpad, hideaway keys and generally utterly-fashionable minimalist design.
4 . Benq-Siemes "Snaked"
Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a "reptile" looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.
5 . What You See is What You Get Concept
One thing is for sure about this concept phoneââ?¬Â¦they could've named it shorter. Designed by Pei-Hua Hang, the phone's name comes from the fact that this concept no longer uses an LCD as viewfinder for the digital camera, instead it uses a transparent frame. And of course, interaction is made through a touchscreen
6 . Retroxis By Dark Label
If most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure, the Retroxis concept phone from Dark Label looks kinda human, and makes us hope we'll be able to get one of these one day. Designed by Lim Sze Tat the phone is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweight and toughness and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive
7 . Benq-Siemens "The Blackbox"
Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch screen as its keypad and, depending on the functions you are using, the touch screen changes the control layout immediately.
8 . NEC Tag
Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user's arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode
9 . TripleWatch
Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.
10 . Asus Aura

What do you stand for? After last night's GOP Presidential Debate, it is still unclear what the candidates stand for. We know what they are against, we know what they don't like, but what is their message and what is the brand they want us to remember them by?
They, along with the Democrats need to get hacked. Hackathons are generally an all day/all weekend event in which programers and creatives come together and collaborate on various projects around a specific problem.
Democrats and Republicans need to bring together the most creative minds they can find to solve the problem of what Democrats and Republicans stand for today. The Republicans can no longer be just pro-life and anti-tax just as Democrats can no longer be simply the party that fights for equality, stands up for children, workers, veterans and seniors. The political parties must stand for something different in today's world and I hope the GOP Presidential Candidates we saw last night can cut through the clutter and talk more about the problems we face as Americans and how they have the plans to solve them, in addition to what makes us as a country strong and how they intend to make us stronger by brining us together, on issues that we can all agree on instead of fight over.
Earlier this summer L.A. Global Shapers and the City of Los Angeles organized a civic hacking weekend. For 48 hours hackers worked to address a number of problems facing cities and states, including California's drought. More than 500 people showed up from all ages and all backgrounds. According to Winston Binch, in an article he prepared for Advertising Weekend, "The Challenge for the teams was to devise tech or marketing solutions that would do one of three things: help reduce water consumption, increase water recycling practices or keep water consumption habits top of mind." Advertising Week, August 13, 2015, 12).
By engaging the creative and tech-savvy community, the political parties will tap some of the most creative minds to help their cause. They will find these individuals are passionate, energetic and now they have tapped a new demographic and a new set of voters.
Democrats and Republicans need to get hacked because they need to find ways to breathe new life into their parties. It will help establish a new base, redefine a new party and find ways to motivate a new electorate to come out and vote.
Today politics is synonymous with entertainment. The candidates last night were the stars of their own reality show that will go on for the next 13 months, without commercials that none of us want to binge watch let alone digest another political ad.
It is time we end politics as usual and shift the focus issues that matter and solutions that work. It's time to get hacked.

Highlights- bash n dash n splash 2014
A truly horrendous blustery southerly soaker of a day at Orford. Cravo weather!!
Ian- Smashing longest drive 240m+ on his nominated longest drive hole the Par 5 15th
Great iron into 3m on the 10th hole to set up birdie which he holed and a 4 point score. To top it off Keith got a bogey for 3 points and Bas got a Par to get a group hole score of 10 points.
Ian smashed his drive both times on the 4th and 13th to within 30m of the green.
Keith-Put under the pump on the 1st hole with everyone watching -he put 2 balls out of bounds onto the road which probably went about 300m along the pavement. His putter was running hot with lots of putts holed from 2-5m and a 7m putt on the final hole into the centre of the cup. A good tie in the off-the-stick battle with Poolie.
Basil- Managed to get away to a good start with some solid golf and some great chips and putts to keep him in the hunt but with a dismal wipe on the 9th he faded. Scorched a few drives down the fairway. Bunker save on the par 3 16th was fantastic as was his longest putt he nailed on the 18th to save par. Shot a 77 off the stick but could not quite match it with the stableford master Mr. Craven who nailed an 81 into van Riet's coffin.
Felix – Smoked longest drive on the 8th and was 10cm away from taking it out on the 15th too (had a cool 50m or so of distance on Ian, but just trickled into the rough). Felix got around in 15 points on the front, but played better than that as he didn't capitalise on the greens. That all changed on the back though when the putts started to drop and he came roaring back into contention for the title. Did an amazing flop shot over the bunker on the 11th to tap in distance, which was what he was practicing in the morning but scaring us all and hitting sheds! Was on track and then exploded on the 15th with a birdie for 4 points. The putt was just short, he walked up to it and had a look to see if it was hanging over the hole, was about to tap it in and then the wind blew and the ball fell in UPHILL for bird! Backed that up with another 4 pointer birdie after a fantastic 6 iron into the par 3 and great 5m putt. Felix strolled to the 17th tee 1 or 2 shots off the lead and with a definite chance. He bogeyed 17 to drop one more shot back and needed something special on the last or a meltdown from Leigh C, neither of which happened. A valiant 35 points and 3rd place.
Alex – Having spent all week snuggling up to a supermodel Alex was high on confidence. His first drive with Leroy's old driver was a ripper and things were looking good. There were some awesome shots and some other stuff to balance it out. Highlights were an Arnie on the 1st, an easy par on the 9th (part of Team Par), and the drive and approach to 2m on the 13th for an easy bird. I've advised him to wear a wetsuit next time to hold that dodgy left knee solid, and actually the wetsuit would've been a good choice of attire for the conditions on the front nine.
Leigh C – rock solid golf from Cravo with his best ever score off the stick at a half decent course (+11). A lot of good golf and not much crap golf at all. 8 pars, 9 bogeys and a double. But the championship was on the line when he strode to the 17th tee, not knowing what score Bas was on and only 1 or 2 shots clear of Felix. He was determined to hit a great drive on 17 to put the tourney in the bag then and there. But he hit a horrible shank! Haha. Was left with 185m to go and had to draw it around the hill on the left. Again, he was determined to win it there with a great shot, and this time he delivered, smashing it pin high just off the green on the left. A good lag left an easy par putt (which he rammed in the right side and only just dropped, heart pounding). On the 18th tee it was all his to lose, but he killed it down the middle to 150m and hit 6 iron in dead at the flag just off the front edge. Left his birdie putt 1ft short but dead on line, and tapped it in to sign off for 40 stableford points and the win, retaining the Auld Mug.
Pooley got a par on the 4th and 15th (having never parred a par 5 before). Phill got a bogey on the 7th and mid round even said "I'm enjoying this", for only the second time out he struck the ball well.
Lewah's only pearl was on the 15th – from 150m out he hit the ball over the trees on the right and onto the green 4m from the pin.
A funny point was on the 10th Leeroy hit his putt from 3m and it went to the hole, looked like it was going in, but slowing, and it stopped right on the edge hanging over the hole but didn't drop (where was that wind gust when you need it?).
Leeroy had a par free day yesterday, but did get to check out a lot of the trees on the course and improve his botanical appreciation J
On the 8th there were 3 balls near the green, Leeroy walked up and hit the one he thought was his – only to discover on the green that it was Phills. Leeroy added the penalty to his score and went from an easy bogey 2 points to a wipe. Overall Leeroy dropped 2 places in the finishing order by doing this – that may prove telling in world ranking points.
|Leigh C
WEATHER: Showers and blustery SW winds 15-25kmh, 11 degrees. Sunny on back nine
GREEN-SPEED: 0.73KBGC units
FAIRWAY RUN: 0.58Llanhernes
SAND: Heavy. 1 Intertidal unit
TREES: 40% Gum, 35% Oyster Bay Pine, 10% Poplar, 15% other
*Historical note: this result put Leigh C and Leroy even on points for World Number One, but Leroy retained the title due to 2 Majors vs 1 Major in the period.

Katy Mclean, the England captain, was in understandably emotional mood after her side became world champions in Paris on Sunday night.
"It is everything I have probably ever dreamed of," she said. "You dare to hope, but with the way England's luck has gone in World Cups [they had lost the past three finals] you don't hope too much, but this squad of people is the most special group of people I have ever worked with and today they finally got their reward."
England defeated Canada 21-9, with 16 points from the outstanding centre Emily Scarratt, who scored a try, which she converted, as well as kicking three penalties.
"She was phenomenal," Mclean said. "She kicked her goals under extreme pressure and then she goes and finishes it off with a try. Rugby is a team sport but you need standout individuals and she certainly did that for us today."
Canada wing Magali Harvey kicked all of her side's points and was named afterwards as the International Rugby Board's women's player of the year, an award many felt should have gone to Scarratt.
"I think maybe the player of the year was a bit early," Gary Street, the England head coach, said. "I think Emily might have had something to say about that."
Street felt that this tournament may have altered the women's game for ever. "I think this could be the tipping point for women's rugby worldwide," he said.
"I think that people have seen that XVs is a spectacle. Sevens has its profile with the Olympics and all that, but there is nothing like an old-fashioned Test match between two XVs. This tournament has made everyone realise that women's XVs is one hell of a game and the standard has been incredible."
England led 11-3 at half-time but Canada rallied as England wobbled in the third quarter.
"All testament to Canada, they were fantastic today," Mclean said. "They really put us under pressure, as we thought they would. It is testament to this squad that at 11-9 when we could have self-combusted, our defence stayed strong."
The tightness of the squad was revealed in the fact that they had decided to keep their pre-match jersey presentation on Friday 'in-house'. Street said: "We did have some quite high-profile people who could have come in. But I had a message from Katy that she didn't want anyone out of our circle in. The message was clear: it's our group, our circle."
Of his team's win, he said: "It's a pretty amazing feeling, and I am just so proud of everyone involved. It's a really special group. We've been on a long journey, but to have that trophy makes it worthwhile."

ANMF (SA Branch) – BPSO® Australia Host Journey
In 2012, Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) (SA Branch) embarked on a partnership with the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) and were endorsed to become the 2nd International RNAO Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) Host.
Our role as the Australian BPSO® Host is to:
- transfer knowledge through provision of implementation of evidence based practice learning institutes and workshops in Australia;
- provide a link to the global BPSO® collaborative and support network;
- mentor site implementation teams; manage BPSO® applications and contracts in Australia;
- assist with evaluation activities (Including NQuIRE® database); and
- develop and support BPSO®/Champion networks across Australia whilst also collaborating with established international networks.
The ANMF (SA Branch) is actively leading the implementation of the BPSO® program and providing support to designate and candidate sites across the health system. To do this work we have enjoyed the support of and funding from SA Health who have recognised the potential of the program to facilitate implementation of contemporary evidence based practice and person centred care.
The two designated BPSO® sites, Central Adelaide Rehabilitation Services (CARS) and Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) continue to implement Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) and are expanding the reach of the Program within their own local health networks. This builds on their work sucessfully completed as candidate sites.
With the continuing support from SA Health, our new BPSO® candidate sites – Central Adelaide Local Health Network Mental Health Directorate (CALHN MHD) and Women's and Children's Health Network (WCHN) have embarked on the BPSO® journey with us.
