How Do You Love Yourself?
Society teaches that if I learn or grow in love for myself, I will be able to love others, but I am discovering through transformation that there is another way. As I love others, I can love myself. Which method can you relate to? Think for a moment about the results you've seen when implementing either of these methods...
love myself = love others
love others = love myself
Results are the most powerful barometer we have available to us. Our words can, many times, deceive others and even ourselves, but results don't lie. They are what they are.
The results in my life have been clear.
I spent much of my married life thinking that if I could love myself or heal my low self-esteem first, then I would be able to love my husband more deeply, and the results I experienced were:
- As I felt I wasn't good enough - I saw him as not good enough.
- The way I judged myself was the way I judged him.
- We were becoming more distant as my criticism of myself flowed onto him.
- He shared less of who he was with me as he could hear my negativity before I spoke a word.
- I became more and more critical of his disengagement.
- He began dealing with depression and disengaged even more.
On the other hand, as I engage in the practice of transformation, my vision leads me to authentic, intimate, and loving relationships. When I choose to pursue them, I get to commit to who I will be to bring about my vision. I choose things like love without judgment, being a generous listener, grace, and truth spoken for the purpose of intimacy.
This means, I choose to love others first and the results I experience are:
- I am truly learning who my husband is, after 25 years of marriage.
- As I interrupt my enabling, he chooses to step into his true self and creates his art at an all time high.
- We are vulnerable with each other and discover together the commonality in our humanity.
- The intimacy we share is at an all-time high, and it begins internally and moves externally.
- I am discovering how to love myself by loving him.
- The key that is unlocking the beauty in me is in my choice to truly love him.
The results in our marriage are just one example of how loving others is transcending my life. The results I experience as I love my children, staff, clients, friends, and neighbors, even strangers, in this authentic, intimate and honest love is proving that...

It's been some time since I posted our first Baltimore Hometown Guide on Hampden and its surrounding areas, and I believe it's time for a guide to a decidedly less hipster neighborhood -- my own, Canton.
What Canton lacks in hipsters, it has in yuppies (or puppies, for those of us who are more so poor urban professionals). We're not as "cool" as Hampdenites, older than the average Federal Hill frat bro, a bit more...normal than the eccentric Fells Point resident. Overall, I like to think my neighborhood is a little quieter, adding a drop of sophistication to the Baltimore landscape. We have our own square of bars (more on that shortly), a beautiful promenade along the water, and most importantly -- some really great places to eat.
Without further adieu, I give you Canton.
Iron Rooster
I've sung the praises of Iron Rooster before ("If loving brunch is basic, then basic I am"). Homemade poptarts, giant cocktails, chicken and waffles, FREE BACON. What's not to love? Well I suppose the fact that Iron Rooster doesn't take reservations is somewhat unlovable, especially since the wait is typically interminable, but that's just a testament to how amaze balls it is. Worth every minute (every hour, frankly) of said wait.
Annabel Lee Tavern
This is a long-time favorite of mine and happily in walking distance from my house. It's cozy, Edgar Allan Poe-themed, and the food is delicious. It's another place that doesn't take reservations, but I also maintain that it is worth the wait. Or just go on a weeknight when it's not as busy (yes, even *I* will go out on a weeknight if it means dining at Annabel Lee). I particularly recommend the cookie sandwich for dessert -- two warm, half-baked, gooey chocolate chip cookies, held loosely together by vanilla ice cream -- a classic. Just like Poe.
Alma Cocina Latina
Alma Cocina Latina is currently housed in a space that has been home to like three or four restaurants inside of the seven years I've lived here. Woof. Clearly, none of them were particularly good. I think Alma will break the curse with its creative arepa bar and delicious cocktails. When I went, my friend and I split a few dishes, and every bite was better than the one before it. I was super impressed and happy to welcome it to the neighborhood.
Huck's American Craft
Huck's is literally around the corner from me, but before it was in the spot it's in now, there was a bar that I had actually never been in. That's how grody it looked from the outside -- a 30-second walk from my house and I wouldn't go. I'm happy Huck's is there now. Aside from the phenomenal soft pretzel you see here, they also have great burgers, all-day breakfast, and pretzel pies -- personal-sized pizza-like pies with a pretzel crust. NOMS-A-FUCKING-HOY, amirite? They're also associated with the Gjerdes of Woodberry fame AND Alexander's Tavern, a mainstay of Fells Point.
Of Love & Regret
Of Love & Regret is probably my favorite neighborhood jam of all. When my friend Ryan and I get together to catch up, we don't even discuss where to go -- the answer is always OLAR. The menu changes seasonally, but the burgers are always good. There are also great vegetarian options for my veggie friends, and I always love the cocktails. Also, I very much prefer bars/restaurants that do not have TVs or else I'll sit there and zone out with my eyes glued to the screen, regardless of whether I'm actually interested in what's on. Plus, the service is always on point (maybe because they recognize me and Ryan now).
Atwater's is a local chain serving locally sourced food, great coffee, and even better ice cream. It's one of my favorite spots for breakfast, and even though most of the menu items are pretty healthy, they have a decidedly wonderful and unhealthy bakery. It's another seasonal place, so the menu's always changing. The service is also always friendly and attentive, and there's outdoor seating, which is clutch.
- Jack's Bistro Jack's is kind of nestled away from everything else, so I tend to always forget about it, but every time I've been, the food has been great. I genuinely think about the lamb pasta randomly from time to time (I'm looking at you, Amy Keller).
Gunther & Co. OK, so this new spot is super cool on the inside, but by virtue of being new, I think they're trying a liiiiiittle bit too hard. When a friend and I went recently for dinner, the host and manager seemed flustered about how long to wait to seat us -- even though the restaurant was practically empty. They explained that they wanted the timing to give us a "perfect" experience, though somehow our food did end up taking a really long time. The server was quite rehearsed as well, and we definitely threw him off his game with more than one smart-ass comment, but I'd go back because the food was ridiculously good, and they have about a million different kinds of oysters.
Mama's on the Halfshell Seafood classic. When friends come to Baltimore (or Baltimore ex-pats come home), this is where we go to get a seafood fix. No reservations again, yet always busy. I (perhaps mistakenly) think of Mama's as the home of the orange crush, and the mussels are not to be missed.
Nacho Mama's Right next door to Mama's on the Halfshell is Nacho Mama's, a gluttonous, super Baltimore, kitschy Mexican joint filled with Elvis art. To be honest, in my old age, I don't know that I have the tolerance anymore for the margaritas that come in a hubcap and the dinner plate-sized quesadillas, but it's a solid Baltimore classic.
Gypsy Queen Food Truck One of my all-time favorite places in Canton (and Baltimore overall) was a place called Helen's Garden that had the. best. brunch. ever. Then they closed and came back as the Gypsy Queen Food Truck. While I still sorely miss Helen's (literal years later), the food truck is a great stand-in. Try the fries topped with a crab cake.
The Fork and Wrench Recently, the F&W menu has shrunk, which I'm not a huge fan of, but the food is always good. I also really love the ambiance. Each room is designed to have a different feel, starting with the '20s speakeasy on the bottom floor. Love it.
BoatHouse Canton I've only been to BoatHouse once, and it was food brunch, which was decent. nothing phenomenal. The best part about BoatHouse though is the ample outdoor seating on the water alongside Canton's marinas.
Plug Ugly's Publick House This is the bar that currently occupies the space that once was Helen's. All I really have to say about it is it's sticky and smells like a bar.
Looney's Pub Neighbor of Plug Ugly, El Bufalo, and Claddagh -- If you like three floors of loud shitty music, being pressed up against a stranger at any given time, and not having any decent food options, this is the place for you.
El Bufalo See Looney's Pub. ^^^^
Claddagh See Looney's -- Ah, fuck it. Just skip the whole damn Square unless "Mama" is in the name.
The Chasseur This used to be a pretty good place whose name escapes me, but the last time I went (ages ago), the server didn't know how to pronounce his own restaurant's name.
Blue Hill Tavern Soulless, overpriced, yuppie restaurant without any character, personality, or particularly good dishes.
Southern Provisions I'm dubious of this place because it is on the Square and doesn't have "Mama" in the name, but I do like some good Southern comfort food.
Captain James Landing A self-proclaimed "seafood palace," this place is actually shaped like a giant boat, and has been around forever, so at some point, I feel like I've gotta get my ass to the boat place and see what it's all about.
Patterson Perk There are literally three Starbucks within a 1-mile radius of my house, and while I'm not complaining, I feel like I should be giving an independent coffee shop a little more love.
Bo Brooks Another Baltimore classic, I've never been to this crab spot, located on the same promenade as BoatHouse. And since I'm not crazy about nearby Canton Dockside, next time I'm crabfeasting, it might have to be at Bo's.
Pig & Rooster Smokehouse I tend to like most places that have "Pig" in the name.
Alright neighbors of mine. What did I miss?

Motorcycles continue to rise in popularity as a mode of transportation, accounting for nearly 400,000 of the registered vehicles in Illinois. Motorcyclists share the road with trucks and passenger cars, often driven by negligent motorists. When another driver's infraction causes a motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist is much more likely to suffer serious injuries. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, the attorneys at Bizzieri Law Offices in Chicago can help you obtain fair compensation.
Accident Injuries Can Alter Your Life
Due to the lack of enclosure and the exposed nature of the rider, a collision with another vehicle can result in catastrophic injuries. Motorcycle injury victims face lengthy recovery with the possibility of long-term disabilities. The injuries may require hospitalization, rehabilitation and physical therapy, resulting in significant costs for the victim.
Determining Fault After An Accident Is A Critical Part Of Recovery
A fair settlement reflecting the serious nature of your injuries is necessary to pay for incurred medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and damage to the motorcycle. When another party's negligence caused the accident, the insurer for the at-fault party can be held liable. Depending on what caused the accident, a third party may also be held liable, including a motorcycle parts manufacturer and the entity responsible for maintaining the road.
Let Us Fight On Your Behalf
An insurance company will not hesitate to further victimize a motorcycle accident victim with an inadequate settlement offer. Our lawyers have experience fighting insurance companies and will take an aggressive approach to secure satisfactory recovery.
We believe you should not have to worry about the mounting costs of your care and treatment while healing. Let our team handle financial recovery while you focus on healing from your injuries. To start the recovery process and schedule a free consultation, send our office an email or call 773-881-9000.

They Tried to Make her Go to Rehab and She Said No, No, No.
Amy Winehouse was a beautiful disaster, but I loved her music. It seemed there was no middle-ground with her - total greatness or complete mayhem. She was a supremely gifted singer and co-wrote the majority of her music, but she struggled with bulimia, substance abuse and alcoholism. She was a generous donor to a number of charities and foundations, but would scratch and punch her husband in the face and then leave the house bloody and bruised like they were heading on a date for ice cream.
Even still, I was an Amy Winehouse STAN. That "Back to Black" album went so hard in my Mitsubishi. I played that CD so much I practically burned a hole in it. (This was around 2007. CD's were still acceptable, thankyouverymuch.) Her voice was so developed and mature and velvety and jazzy, though she was just in her twenties. I think I was mesmerized. If a car could talk, mine would have cursed me smooth out like an irate neighbor. "DAMN, WOULD YOU PLEASE FIND ANOTHER ALBUM?! LIL' WAYNE. THE LION KING SOUNDTRACK. BARNEY'S GREATEST HITS. NICKELBACK. WAYNE WONDER. SOMETHING!"
What can I say? When I fall in love with a song/album, I have no problem playing it 142 times in a row or until I get over it. Whichever comes first.
Amy succumbed to her demons in 2011, five short years later after Back to Black was released, when she died of alcohol poisoning at just 27 years old. TWENTY-SEVEN, LORDT. Though it wasn't surprising for most people, her death was still tragic.
The documentary about her life, "Amy," hits theaters nationwide this Friday and my arse will be there on time with glasses secured on my nose and snacks at the ready. I have heard lots of positive reviews about how the documentary captured Amy and her beautiful/complicated/genius/disastrous/artistic glory.
So, in honor of this occasion, here are five of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs:
"In My Bed" (Frank - 2003) //
Great song to dance to and basically lets dudes know, DON'T GET TOO FAMILIAR.
Favorite line(s): Oh, it's you again / listen, this isn't a reunion so sorry if I turn my head / yours is a familiar face, but that don't make your place safe in my bed, my bed, my bed
"You Know I'm No Good" (Back to Black - 2006)//
This song (along with "Rehab") is kind of haunting. Amy knew she had struggles and she was pretty transparent about it.
Favorite line(s): I cheated myself like you knew I would / I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
"Me & Mr. Jones" (Back to Black - 2006)//
Lots of singers sing about being done wrong by their man/woman/boo/bae, but this was the most gangster first line I've ever heard sung.
Favorite line(s): What kind of f*ckery is this? You made me miss the Slick Rick gig/ You thought I didn't love you when I did / Can't believe you played me out like that
"Wake Up Alone" (Back to Black - 2006)
This is that song to listen to over and over again in bed on a rainy Saturday morning after you've just broken up with the love of your life while you cry and look at old pictures.
Favorite line(s): It's okay in the day, I'm staying busy / tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he / Got so sick of crying so just lately, when I catch myself I do a 180 / I stay up clean the house, at least I'm not drinking / run around just so I don't have to think about thinking
"Half Time" (Lioness: Hidden Treasures - 2011 *previously unreleased)
I feel like this song was her love letter to music. Beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice and a beautiful melody.
Favorite line(s): Rhythm floods my heart, the melody it feeds my soul / the tune tears me apart and it swallows me whole / you should thank your lucky starts, 'cause the music is a gift / and it's stronger than all else, provides me with a bliss
What did I miss? What's your favorite? Holler at me – and do let me know if you plan on seeing the film!

BRISTOL - Prior to Monday night's game against Bristol Central, the Bristol Eastern girls basketball team celebrated Senior Night.
As is the custom, the Lancers handed the four Rams seniors a flower to acknowledge the visiting athletes who would be graduating in the spring.
Once the game started, Eastern put down the flowers and handed Central a quick beatdown.
A 22-0 first quarter left no doubt in the Lancers' 63-28 win over the Rams, sending Eastern to its fifth straight win and a satisfying home sendoff for the team's five seniors, including Meredith Forman, who finished with 12 points.
"It was crazy," Forman said of the team's dominant Senior Night. "I had a really fun time out there. I'm just glad I got to share it with all my teammates."
While the seniors were honored before tipoff, it was a freshman that shined the brightest in the lopsided first quarter, as Ciara Collins knocked down three 3-pointers while the defense recorded four blocks in a dominant eight minutes.
Central's Ashley Watson finally broke the scoring drought with a layup 50 seconds into the second quarter, but Eastern refused to let up. By the end of the first half, three Lancers were already in double figures.
"They didn't miss," Central head coach Steve Gaudet said. "We gave them a lot of extra opportunities by turning it over against their press. The combination of that and the way they were shooting wasn't a recipe for success."
Bristol Eastern head coach Tony Floyd started all five seniors on Senior Night for the Lancers, and they rewarded him by forcing three turnovers on Central's first three possessions. But the night took an emotional turn when Maura McGuire was taken out just over two minutes in, after falling awkwardly on a block of Central's Gwen Torreso.
McGuire didn't return, but Eastern responded with an offensive outburst behind Collins that seemed to put the game away in one quarter. Collins scored 11 points in the opening period and had 17 to her credit by halftime.
After Watson ended the shutout early in the second, Forman knocked down two 3-pointers to keep the Lancers' hot streak from deep alive, and keep Eastern's lead north of 20.
By the three minute mark of the third, the advantage was 40, after a 3-pointer from Avery Arbuckle continued the Lancers' 3-point onslaught.
"We really shot the ball well," Eastern head coach Tony Floyd said. "I'm very happy for the seniors, too. They did a great job today."
The only Ram who found any space among the Eastern defense was Watson, who finished with 11 points. No other Central scorer had more than five.

Lake Ronkonkoma DWI had children as passengers, police say
Cops: Four minors were passengers in SUV that drove across lawns.
A Calverton man pleaded not guilty Sunday to driving drunk under Leandra's Law, leaving the scene of an accident and other charges after an early morning crash in Lake Ronkonkoma.
George Campbell, 26, of Middle Country Road, was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child passenger 15 years or younger — Leandra's Law — driving while ability impaired by drugs and/or alcohol, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, among other charges.
Campbell pleaded not guilty in First District Court in Central Islip to all charges, said his lawyer, Richard B. Stafford, of Bohemia.
Stafford said Campbell was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and volunteered for a blood test.
"I'm sure when the result comes back, their case is going to fall apart," Stafford said. "He's positive it's going to show there were no drugs or alcohol in his system."
Police said about 1:25 a.m., Campbell was driving a 2004 Infiniti Q56 on Gatelot Avenue when he drove the vehicle across the front lawns of two houses on School Street, then struck a parked, unoccupied 2018 Toyota and fled.
A Fourth Precinct patrol officer saw the vehicle with two flat tires and pulled Campbell over on Hawkins Avenue, police said.
Campbell's girlfriend and her four children — a 16-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, a 7-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl — were in the SUV, police said. No one was injured, police said.
A police spokeswoman said she could not release information about the type of drug or drugs Campbell was allegedly on when stopped or how it was determined he was impaired by both drugs and alcohol.
Campbell was held Sunday on bail of $15,000 bond or $5,000 cash, according to court records.
Police said the children were released into the custody of their mother.

The Bible calls us again and again to place our problems before one another and God for mutual care and support during hard times. The following is a week's worth of nightly compassion Scriptures. As you read and consider this list, what jumps out?
- Weep with those who weep (Rom. 12:5).
- Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ (Gal. 6:2).
- And be kind to one another, tenderhearted (Eph. 4:32).
- Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others (Phil. 2:4).
- Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing (1 Thess. 5:11).
- Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest (Matt. 11:28).
- Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you (1 Pet. 5:7).
Sharing lows teaches your children that they are part of life. Sharing these lows before God and a trusted Christian family or a "family of friends" shows your children that they are never alone. Admitting disappointment, weakness, fear and anger out loud is what healthy people do. It reinforces the Church at its most elemental level.
Why not start tonight?

It isn't 1860 anymore
In a surprise appearance at a routine White House press briefing today ending at approximately 1:50 p.m. EDT, President Obama offered his observations and perhaps his viewpoint relative to the shooting of Trayvon Martin as well as the larger issue of race relations in this country.
First, the President is a human being, and like all of us, his views are shaped by his personal experiences. To that extent, I fully support his desire to make those views known.
But he is also the leader of America. All of America, not just black America. To suggest a negative outcome both during the incident and the subsequent trial because the late Mr. Martin was black opens the door to ask what another outcome might have been.
If the racial characteristics of the two people involved were reversed, and everything else remained exactly the same, would the headlines have been different, and the perception of who was the victim and who was the perpetrator been different also? Would the headlines have read, " White teenager attacks and injures black neighborhood watch patrolman"? Would the trial have been front page news then?
In the 1960's I was an idealistic (white) high school student. I passionately believed that the way blacks were being treated in that era was shameful. I believed then as I believe now that every single person in the U.S. deserves to be treated with the respect they earn, enjoy equal opportunities to succeed, and all of us deserve equal protection under the law. I couldn't vote, but I helped letter some of those signs demanding equality for all that you saw back then and I was damn proud of it.
Over the ensuing five or so decades, I saw the movement that began so idealistically, and had such wonderful goals turn into something I am not so proud of, and stagnate into something that continues to dwell in the mindset of that time.
Keeping blacks and whites separated on the basis of race is no longer driven solely by white America. Whole industries have arisen that depend on keeping the fires of racial division burning brightly. Political careers are launched based on the idea of what I believe is not equality or justice, but payback.
Some of my far-removed kin were Irish immigrants. In the 19th and early 20th century, the Irish were persecuted as well. But the country and the Irish immigrants moved past that. I can acknowledge my heritage without feeling the need to attack the descendants of those who perpetrated those long-ago injustices. I certainly don't think I need special dispensations or advantages because one of my great, great, great grandparents came from Ireland.
Please Mr. President, can't we move forward from 1960, or 1860, or even 1760? It's 2013 for heaven's sake. People of all races voted for you. I'd like to think that all the effort up to now can move us forward, not bind the nation in the chains of old hatreds.
What happened in Florida is a tragedy. But was it about race, or about a 17-year old boy who didn't know how to respond to the situation without resorting to a physical confrontation? All over the U.S. 17 year old boys of every race tend to act without considering the consequences. I don't think that's a black or white characteristic.

Welcome again to "Mommies Kitchen" the home of meal receipts & list of dishes, Today i will guide you how to make "Blueberry Muffin Bread". I made this Delicious recipe a few days ago, and I absolutely loved it and enjoyed it with my family. It came out very tasty and flavorful.
As usual after that i maked this flavorful "Blueberry Muffin Bread" i send it first to all of my followers on My Pinterest Account to try it first and these was some of their rich reviews, opinions, suggestions and great recommendations:
- "dalida" : LOVED this! I used the smaller Maine wild blueberries and there is a blueberry in every bite. My loaf pan was slightly wider, so I only baked an hour. As a result the loaf was flatter, but still very tasty. Very easy recipe. Will make this again!
- "linda" : I first tried using orange instead of lemon until one day I only had a lemon. The difference was amazing. I will never use orange again. One average lemon yields 4 T for me. I found that the zest had an usual attraction to the mixer beaters so a lot of it wasn't ending up in the bread. I now add it with the blueberries. A sprinkling of candied chopped pecans on the top is a much better option than the glaze.
- "mary" : So lemony good! I may have added a bit extra lemon. Used frozen blueberry's, rinsed them until water ran clear, then tossed with flour as stated in recipe. Turned out great, family loves!!!!
- "lynn" : Love this recipe! I added extra lemon zest. Additionally I added a half teaspoon of cinnamon to the flour mixture. The glaze added the additional lemon kick. When I make it next time …..I will add some caramelized pecan pieces on top of the glaze. I also used frozen blueberries I picked from a neighbor's blueberry patch!
- "diana" : Excellent recipe. Buy frozen blueberries. Cheaper than fresh and always available in your freezer.
- "megan" : I absolutely love this bread. I don't find it dry at all. The second time I made it, I added 1/4 cup of coconut flakes to the batter and only used 1/4 cup of chopped nuts. I love the glaze. This bread is part of the reason why I splurged and bought a Costco size bag of lemons. The other being, it's more cost efficient.
So HOW TO MAKE THIS TASTY RECIPE? don't worry it's easy! This delicious homemade recipe is easy to make and walks you through the steps and all the ingredients on how to make it on the next page!

text: For the Garden Action Day we need folks to come out ready to get their hands in the dirt. We will be installing a new garden feature that involves an aquatic garden that demonstrates the symbiotic nature of fish and water plants in a mini ecosystem. The fishpond will be surrounded by half oak barrel planters that will help insulate the water and reduce evaporation. We will be primarily setting up this feature, weeding and adding compost to the existing garden beds, and priming and painting 4x8 sheets of plywood as mural panels for the East wall. At a later date the barrels will be planted with dwarf apple trees and medicinal herbs with the children. The medicinal herbs will be the ones featured in Herb Fairies, a method for teaching the uses of medicinal plants to children involving stories, recipes, and journal entries. Also the whole thing – oak barrels, plants, fish, fishpond, mural panels, etc is designed to be able to move with the school to its new site. Thanks for your support. If you have any questions please call or email Annapurna at – 707-616-6868 email@example.com.

I finally listened to Obama's energy speech and tried to sort things out. The pressure of November and the success McCain is having with off-shore drilling have forced some changes.
Tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to deal with a long term issue like oil prices is dumb. There will be short term depression of prices, but the SPR is finite and the recognition the holiday is coming to an end combined with the need to refill the SPR to handle real disasters is just foolish.
Likewise off-shore drilling will not have a significant impact for a decade and it will amount to only a few percent of oil production worldwide. Any impact on prices will be tiny if world supplies remain constrained. I think Obama is bright enough to realize there is no such animal as an isolated US market, but the rhetoric doesn't so it (same for McCain).
Energy independence is possible with electricity (although not in the decade Gore wants), but not for oil. The US imports 12 million barrels a day (and increasing) - the few millions from Alaska and off-shore are not enough. First generation biofuels aren't enough and second generation probably aren't either - plus they won't be ready. One can use oil shales and I was unhappy to see shale mentioned in the speech.
Even with tax credits for cars won't change the fleet quickly - that will take a couple of decades.
There are no real specifics, no real vision and a hodgepodge of quick fixes for the short term to keep voters and some of the special interests happy.
He could have done much better.
A voice that moves is needed. I once had hopes his might be the one, but now he is worried about November and is an pander mode.
But - his is much better than the McCain energy train wreck.

My recent idea of a project that I'd love to try to do and will never have any ability to do whatsoever: I want to design a deck of cards. The backing with its pretty intricate design, and the lettering for the corners and the joker designs and the other picture cards and the pretty designs you could do with the aces, like they always do with the Ace of Spades. Also, why do cards always have a white backing to them? Why not a red/black backing with the symbols as white? It sounds pretty in my mind.
I am now playing Mario Kart online quite often. My code to play against me (all both of you with a DS+Mario Kart+WiFi connection-Social Life) is 433855 752085. This is liable to change soon, though.
I also want to make an icon with a gold frame and a blue sky and grey grass and a robot frolicking in the grass, with the words "ERROR" in some computer-y font in the sky. It sounds better in my mind than it would as an icon, though, because 100 x 100 is a difficult resolution for bizarre things.
But designing things isn't something I have a desire to do right now, past the initial belief that my ideas might be good. Partially because if I actually got around to designing every aspect of a deck of cards, to design something ultimately perfect in every way, that that is one hell of a waste of time that could be spent doing much more interesting and entertaining things.
The robot frolicking in the grey grass will have to wait for the immediate future.
There's a storm in my teacup!
Well, in my dollar store mug.

I suggest that you design the robot pic as a full-sized piece of digital art instead of a tiny little icon. Icon art, while fun and challenging, is severely limiting.
I think that making this robot picture smaller will hide a lack of knowing how to make this design properly.
What about a deck of robot cards that battle one another like Battle Chess?
Or no.
Whatever's quicker to type.
Or no.

Great idea on the cards D, I especially liked the positive/negative idea. You have my suport 100%
May wait for the new DS to hit the UK, when that happens I accept your Mario Kart challenge

Designing isn't making, though. So why bother etc? Alas, alack and all that.
Is it a pink DS? Sounds like your kind of thing.

The last thing you want is for your phone to run out of battery when you need it most. Usually, a phone lasts a full work day with moderate use.
But if you use it heavily, you'll need to recharge it more often. Batteries also lose steam over time, running down faster the longer you've owned the phone.
So today we present to you six best mobile phones to this date with the best battery life.
Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom
With its two rear cameras and a 13-megapixel front-facing shooter, the ZenFone 3 zoom is made for photo-enthusiasts. But its robust battery is what's turning heads. At 5,00mAh, the battery lasted 19 hours and 50 minutes, so you won't have to charge it frequently.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus
The Galaxy S8 Plus is a big phone that manages to make a 6.2-inch screen look graceful. It has every hardware and software advantage of the ultrasleek, curved Galaxy S8, including long battery life. During its lab test, it lasted a solid 18 hours of usage.
Motorola Moto Z Play
Clocking in a whopping 23 hours and 3 minutes, this handset is worth getting for the battery life alone (aside from the fact that it also works with useful modular accessories). Its Z Force counterpart didn't do so shabby either, with a time of 16 hours and 32 minutes of video playback.
Samsung Galaxy A7
With its 22-hour lab time, the Galaxy A7 is a midrange Samsung phone that looks just like the Galaxy S7. Sure its Marshmallow OS is not the latest and it's not water resistant like the S7, but if you're looking for a cheap mid-tier Android, this is a good contender.
Huawei Mate 9
The big-screen Mate 9 has an extremely powerful Kirin 960 octa-core processor and a nifty dual-camera setup that's great for artsy shots. Its robust 4,000mAh battery lasted 18 hours and 35 minutes easily.
OnePlus 3T
With an affordable price, the 3T replaces the company's last OnePlus 3 flagship with a more powerful Snapdragon 821 processor and a sharper front-facing camera. It also has a bigger battery that lasts over 16 hours. You still get OnePlus' trademark Dash charging technology, which means the device charges super quickly.

Wow — you guys kept me reading all day! I'm thrilled so many of you took up the Writing Prompt challenge, but in the end, I'm afraid there can be only one winner. The winning hook:
Levi's got the charm, the looks and the right amount of naughty to get Jess into illegal sorts of trouble when the heat is sweltering by the grill-side.
Congrats to ChristaCarol, whose full piece is on her blog here. ChristaCarol, send me an email at email@example.com with your mailing address and your choice of a book by one of my authors.
But let's not make this all about me, and my thoughts. What did you guys think? Did you like the exercise? Did you enjoy reading each other's pieces? Which ones were your favorites?
And finally, a shout out to Alyson Noel, whose eagerly anticipated novel Blue Moon, the sequel to her #1 New York Times bestseller Evermore, is in stores today!

Congrats to ChristaCarol!
I really had fun writing for the challenge, and after reading most of the entries I have to say that Robyn Drizzle's was one of my favorites. I was on the edge of my chair wanting to know what happened and why the MC had to burn the house down and what happens to her.
ChristaCarol Says:
July 7th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
I'm honored, thank you! (and thanks for the 'grats Rebecca!) I, too, enjoyed this. It was nice to get a break from writing the norm, and just write something random.
I enjoyed Robyn Drizzle's great descriptions, the writing was easy to visualize. And Karen's (rosepddle)for her engaging voice, I loved Eric and the entire scene sent me back 15–ahem–a few years. 😉 Ana's was sweet. It captured that nostalgic part of me as well. I really think everyone did well, and just partaking in it takes effort.
Linda Says:

Christa's was my favourite too. Congratulations.
Amy Sonnichsen Says:

Yes, keep these kind of things coming, Kate! They're so much fun. 🙂
Congratulations ChristaCarol!

This was such a fun contest, and it changed my mind about writing prompts. Such a good exercise. Susan Sandmore's story was so heartwarming, and Robyn Drizzle's was haunting and I wanted to turn the page and keep reading. And of course ChristaCarol, I definitely wanted to read more, find out just how wicked Levi was!

Admission fees Â

About the Synagogue:
One of the synagoues of the late medieval and Turkish epoch in the Jewish quarter of Buda (formerly called Jewish street) built at the end of 14 century can be seen on the ground – floor of the house No.26. at Mihály Táncsics street in Buda Castle.
The discovery and reconstruction of this valued synagogue which divided with pillars on the southern side and preserves the stone framed windows of the former women's oratory took place during the monumental building research in 1964. (Architect: H. Melinda Papp)
On the walls of the building Hebrew inscriptions and representations from 7 century also came to light following the research. One of the pictures painted on the wall shows an upturned bow and arrow the other is the star of King David. The text to be read in the picture with the bow is a sentence from the prayer of Hanna: "The strong man of hand bow will be corrupted and the powerless will be set up with Power." The six pointed star of David is accompanied by the text of sacerdotal benediction from the Old Testament: "…The Lord shall bless you, and hold you."
According to Professor Sándor Scheiber the inscriptions and pictures date from the 17th century. The contents of the inscriptions refer to the reasonable fear of the Jews from the Christian attacks.
In the southern room of the building, one of the significant collections of the Budapest History Museum can be seen: here the Jewish tombstones are displayed from the Middle Ages and Turkish times, which were brought to light in Buda. However, the series of tableaux placed on the wall of the synagogue remind us of the life and history of Jews in Buda.
The city of Buda shortly after its foundation already had a considerable number of Jewish citizens also from the middle of 13th century. The privilege regulating the legal standing of the Hungarian Jews was issued by King Béla IV. in 1251. It's understandable that while in Western Europe Jews were exposed to many persecutions they willingly went to live in Hungary, in the freedom of worship, the electoral right of priest and judge, as well as their right to maintain the House of Prayer and it also settled their social and economic standing.
The Jewish quarter of the 13th century was situated on the western side of the present Szent György street, neighboring the Fehérvári Gate, which at that time was called the Jewish Gate. Their cemetery was at the foot of the hill, at the corner of today's Tunnel and Pauler streets. From this cemetery a number of medieval tombstones were brought to light, the oldest one among them dated from 1278.
The early Jewish quarter was liquidated in 1360, when, King Lajos the Great (Anjou) expelled the Jews. They were allowed again to return to Buda and then their new quarter was established along the two sides of today's M. Táncsics street the large House of Prayer was built in 1461, which was destroyed in 1686. The impressive ruins of the monumental splendid temple were discovered by László Zolnay, the archeologist of the Budapest History Museum in the garden of No. 23. M. Táncsics street. The ruins of the building were filled up with earth again for technical reasons, but their new unearthing and showing to the public are included in the general development plan of the Castle district. Until that is done, its reconstructed picture and magnificent Late-Gothic keystone are shown here, at the exhibition of the "small synagogue" and its enormous pillars of the "Large synagogue" are set up in the courtyard of this house.

President Trump has officially ordered an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Hasan Shafiqullah, Attorney-in-Charge of the Immigration Law Unit at The Legal Aid Society, released this statement in response to this devastating order:
"President Trump continues his xenophobic and malevolent campaign against immigrants with today's decision eliminating deportation protections for thousands who came to the United States as vulnerable children or young teens. Despite the White House's demagoguery, the overwhelming majority of these individuals have deep roots in their communities – attending school, holding jobs, and paying taxes. This shameful news also underscores this Administration's unrelenting efforts to advance policies that polarize and play into people's worst fears and prejudices. Our hearts ache for the thousands impacted, and we urge Congressional leaders to counter the President's callous action by passing the DREAM Act immediately."
The Legal Aid Society will continue to work closely with at-risk communities to ensure that vulnerable New Yorkers receive the essential services they need. We will tirelessly defend the rights of all those affected by the Administration's heartless policies. Join us as we take a stand against President Trump and fight for our immigrant clients.

Apple finally catches up with current mobile trends with the iPhone 7
So Apple has just announced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus just few hours ago.
Looking at the features of their latest smartphone, I came to realise that they have finally caught up with other manufacturers by including current tech features that have been missing in previous versions of the iPhones.
Let's take a look at the new notable features which have already been around in competitor phones:
– Splash and water resistant
The iPhone 7 is the very first iPhone that is resistant to water with IP67 rating. This means it is safe to face against spills, splashes, and even dust.
Water-resistant features have been around on other phones for years now. Sony introduced water resistant phones back in 2013 with IP57 rating and recent Samsung phones like the S7 and Note 7 also come with this feature. Samsung went even further in making them water-proof (not just resistant) and achieves the IP68 rating.– Solid state home button
Instead of a physical button, the iPhone 7 comes with a solid piece of surface that acts as the home button and the tactile feedback of pressing it is produced by the haptic (vibration) engine inside the phone. This allows light taps to be registered for actions and doesn't require energy to press the button down anymore.
Well, this home button technology has already been around since late last year when the OnePlus 3 was announced.
Great to see that the iPhone finally gets some of the features that were made popular by many other smartphones before this
– Dual lens camera
The camera on the iPhone 7 is amazing, with optical image stabilisation and f1.8 aperture lens. The iPhone 7 Plus gets 2 of these 12MP lenses, making one a wide angle and another one a telephoto lens.
LG released the G5 this year with dual lens with one being a normal range and one wide angle. Huawei also released the P9 with a color lens and a monochrome lens which they worked with Leica to produce.
Optical image stabilisation? It was first introduced in smartphones by Nokia on their Lumia devices and then most flagship Android devices come with that so there really is no big deal about this.
– Stereo speakers
Finally, users of the iPhone 7 can enjoy stereo audio produced by 2 speakers, 1 on each side of the phone. (Actually, the one on top of the phone is the earpiece, which turns into a loudspeaker when media is playing).
Well, HTC launched the first device with dual speakers back in 2013 and called it BoomSound. A few other Android devices then got the same dual speakers as well, like the Huawei Nexus 6P, HTC Butterfly S and Moto Nexus 6.
I was hoping the iPhone 7 to get a few more desired features like Wireless Charging
So there you go, it's great to see that the iPhone finally gets some of the features that were made popular by many other smartphones before this. It also means that if you buy the iPhone 7, you are guaranteed to not lose out to other current smartphones out there as all these devices now have similar features.
Having said that, I was hoping the iPhone 7 to get a few more desired features like Wireless Charging (available on Samsung smartphones), NFC (available on almost all Android flagships) and a curved display (like on the S7 Edge and Note 7).
What do you think of the iPhone 7 and the latest features introduced by Apple? Will you buy it? Share your thoughts in comments below!
1 comment
This is the best "iphone7 news" blog post. It gives a good comparative analysis with other mobile phones. Having said that, people will still queue up, flock to the stores etc just to buy it..
Anyway, I was not hoping for a curved glass, NFC or wireless charging….I just wanted to see…………a new design.

Clearly, the years have jaded me. Any recording of something so popular as Dvorak's "New World" Symphony has to be pretty special to make a dent in my well-established hierarchy of favorites. I'm afraid that even so distinguished a crew as Ivan Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra couldn't quite do that, although they give it a good shot.
Fischer's 2001 Philips release of the Ninth goes along without a snag; fact is, I can't fault it on much of any grounds. My hesitation in fully recommending the disc is that if you compare it to the company of Kertesz (Decca), Kondrashin (Decca), Reiner (RCA), Horenstein (Chesky), Macal (EMI Classics for Pleasure), Neumann (Denon), Kubelik (DG), Davis (Philips), and others, Fischer sounds somewhat ordinary. The performance is not without spirit, however, and one cannot complain about its not being lyrical enough or even thrilling enough. Indeed, Fischer handles the slow movement as beautifully as anyone I've heard. Yet maybe he overdoes things a bit, trying too hard to inject moments of excitement where a more steady hand might have sufficed.
|Ivan Fischer
Nor can I say too much against Philips's sound, which is warm, spacious, and natural throughout. Yet I find it difficult to find anything about the sound to praise over its rivals, either, the rivals themselves either warm and natural or in most cases more detailed and more brilliantly alive, as well. The Philips sound for Fischer is a bit underwhelming at the high end and a bit lower-midrange heavy at the other extreme. A little more treble openness would have probably given the music a better spit-and-polish.
Doubtlessly, the two most important factors this disc has going for it are that it seems more than competently performed, and it pairs two of Dvorak's most famous compositions. Nevertheless, I would remind the reader that Philips had also issued a two-disc, mid-priced set of all three late Dvorak symphonies under Sir Colin Davis, excellent renditions in excellent sound and probably still available somewhere. Now, for value, that's a hard act to beat.

text: Carbon Monoxide (CO2) How to Stop the Invisible Indoor Killer Published on February 11, 2015 According to a 2012 report by the National Fire Protection Association, fire departments answer to an average of 72,000 carbon monoxide calls each year. Carbon Monoxide, or CO2, is a colorless, odorless gas by-product of burnt fuel. It's commonly connected to wood stoves, car engines and other fire combustion sources such as gas or oil furnaces. Why is Carbon Monoxide so important? Not to be overly dramatic, but understanding the causes and ways to prevent excessive CO2 exposure is a matter of life and death. CO2 is among the leading causes of accidental poisoning deaths in the US*, and conditions of CO2 poisoning can be mistakenly labeled as the flu, viral infections and chronic fatigue, among many others. This makes CO2 poisoning an often hidden enemy that can be fatal over several years, or within just a few short hours. Severe poisoning takes place from breathing large concentrations of CO2, but poisoning may also happen gradually over many months or years. Some symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, flu-like symptoms, dizziness and fatigue. How to protect your family from carbon monoxide? Buy a CO2 detector for each room of your home. You can call Church Services to purchase one today. Batteries should be checked on a consistent basis for existing CO2 detectors. It's also recommended to replace the detector every 3-5 years. If you experience or have experienced a few of the symptoms cited above, ask your doctor to test for carbon monoxide poisoning, and get a second opinion if necessary. *emedicinehealth.com. Prevention information for Carbon Monoxide poisoning may be inaccurate or incomplete; none of these methods guarantee prevention of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Back To BlogContact Us

There is something severe about the Dunkirk trailer. For 2 minutes and 18 seconds, audiences bear witness to the plight of the allied forces trapped on the beaches awaiting evacuation under heavy enemy fire from the air, land, and sea. The shots are tastefully dramatized without the indulgences we have come to expect of depictions of war. The bleak tones of grey that characterize the state of desperation are all consuming. However, it is the music that generates the profound intensity of the trailer – the sparse dialogue and action sequences merely accompany the sounds of Dunkirk.
The film is directed by Christopher Nolan, ergo, the film is scored by Hans Zimmer. Unlike most blockbusters, which opt to use popular music or cover songs in their trailers to connect with the audience, Hans Zimmer's instantly recognizable style and cultural capital caries enough clout to all but guarantee the film's success. A partnership like no other, these two creatives have built a bonafide genre of film together, largely defined by their penchant for the epic. Evidence of the duo's influence in film trailers is ubiquitous. Look no farther than their 2010 collaboration, Inception, which gave birth to one of the most recognizable (and co-opted) sounds in cinema, so infamous that the internet refers to it as the onomatopoeic "BRAAM." In the Dunkirk trailer, Zimmer resists the impulse to use the sound he is credited with creating in favour of finding new ones.
The Dunkirk trailer opens with a ringing tone moving in and out of focus and then steady percussive ticking, like a clock in perfect 4/4 time accenting the first beat. At 0:17 a guttural bass tone slowly wobbles in, joined by a mid-range horn before dissipating. At 0:26, the bass bows deeply and the ticking finally relents, sounding only the first beat of each bar. Much like a piece of music, this break in the trailer leaves the audience in suspense, listening, waiting for the inevitable climax, or "drop." The drop comes as a hail of gunfire. Serene, unmoving strings and choral sounds emerge from the chaos at 0:40, disturbing in their stark juxtaposition of on-screen tragedy. Again, at 0:57 the music is interrupted by the sounds of war. A heartbeat sound enters at 1:06, becoming the ostensible pulse of the music for the remainder of the trailer. Unfiltered piano and a dirty synthesizer appear at 1:28, providing a much needed harmonic progression, though offering little resolution. The music moves in crescendo, gaining momentum as the heartbeat morphs into a steadier beat and additional synthesizers join, rife with distortion. The music cuts abruptly at 1:58, recalling the serene voices and slow heart beat, lingering for the last few seconds.
Nolan and Zimmer are back.

The efficiency of your cooling system not only affects the comfort and health of your family, it affects annual energy costs and your system's life span. Routine air conditioning service and repair maximizes system efficiency, extends the system's life, and cuts energy costs while improving the comfort and indoor air quality of your home. The question is, how often should you schedule air conditioning service and repair to maximize system efficiency?
For maximum efficiency, professional air conditioning service and repair should be scheduled annually. During a maintenance call, your air conditioning service and repair technician should examine all parts of your system and make repairs and adjustments as necessary.
Air conditioning service and repair checkups should address:
- The accuracy of thermostat settings.
- The operational safety of electrical connections.
- The lubrication of moving parts in the system.
- The cleanliness of the condensate drain.
- The operation and efficiency of system controls.
In addition:
- Evaporator and condenser coils should be cleared of debris.
- Verify that no blockages have developed in the system that will impede the proper airflow through the system.
- Refrigerant levels should be adjusted to manufacturer specifications. Once the levels have been established, then routine temperature levels will verify it remains adequate. NOTE: It is a misnomer that the refrigerant wears out and needs to be "topped off" annually. If the level is low, there is a leak that ought to be found and repaired.
- Blower components should be evaluated and adjusted to maximize the flow of conditioned air.
In addition to annual professional air conditioning service and repair, you can monitor several aspects of your cooling system yourself between air conditioning service and repair maintenance calls:
- Inspect and clean air filters monthly, changing as needed to avoid clogged filters, which can hamper system efficiency and leave pollutants and particles in your air. This is key to proper operation!
- Ensure that your A/C coils remain free of debris between maintenance checkups.
- Monitor coil fins to ensure that a bent fin doesn't obstruct airflow through the coil.
- Keep condensate drains clear of debris to prevent clogging, which can lead to overflow, water damage, humidity problems and mold.
Annual air conditioning service and repair ensures that your system will be running when you need it most. For more information on the benefits of annual air conditioning service and repair, contact P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling for expert consultation.

The bag of pooki – was amazing! Thanks to everyone involved, lets now wait and see what the Pooki Monster brings!
Catch tends to be a very addicting, involving and completely immersive job for everyone of the team members. We all breathe, drink and eat CatchOfTheDay. So much that we tend to forget about things like fitness. Finding the odd crazy deal on gym equipment tends to help thigns a little – but never for very long, always ends up being just a few days of inspired workouts followed by 5 days of intensive relaxation in the office.
Yesterday, my girlfriend, frustrated with my state of fitness dragged me out to a little place known as "1000 steps". Just 30 minutes from where we work. Starting with a 2km hike up a hill, you arrive at the base of a beautiful forest laden mountain, and the beginning of a 1000 step staircase. (I found out later its only around 700).
MAN WHAT AN EPIC CLIMB. After about 20 steps I was finished, but my girlfriend promised I could have dinner at Red Pepper once we finished so there was no stopping me. When we finished – I never felt so alive. Being so mentally involved in the site makes you forget you have a body. Definitely going back there ASAP! Taking Jay with me – he needs it!
Have a great weekend everyone! Don't forget to check Catch, we have a SWEET lineup for Saturday and Sunday!

Everyone has their own definition for community groups, small groups, life groups, connection groups and yes, sunday school! Does group mentality and motive matter in order to build a healthy small group? I think so. The question that many ask is, "what is in it for me?" instead of, "who can I encourage, love and support in my small group?" The cultural norm is to look at activities, events and groups we get involved in with selfish attitudes. We all have struggles, pain, opinions, attitudes and life experiences. When you combine all of these in one group, it will be far from perfect. Small groups are messy. The question then becomes, Is this small group for me or for others?
Small group ministry is one of the most powerful aspects of the church. It is a priority to have a small group that builds community and love. A group that is healthy will consistently reiterate the purpose of the group in order to stay focused on reaching the lost and well as growing disciples. Many times we use the term, "doing life together." Doing life together means we spur each other onto spiritual maturity. Doing life together does not mean it becomes all about our own preferences and desires. And by the way, spiritual maturity is about setting an example.
Spiritual maturity is...
- Loving those who do not show it in return. "But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere." James 3:17.
- Applying Matthew 18 and talking to those which you have a problem with and stop talking about them.
- Overlooking other people's mistakes because of their own mistakes. "Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs." Proverbs 19:11.
- Praying for those who do not know Christ.
- Caring for the interests of others and not your own.Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
- Agenda of grace and not a personal agenda of preferences.
Is small group just about a "closed group" mentality where it is all about ourselves or is there more to it? I sure hope so. Living "inwardly" basically tells a broken world that we are too busy to share the life changing message of the gospel with them.
Evangelism and discipleship are not divorced from each other. A healthy small group will be actively reaching and inviting lost people. Why? Because a disciple makes disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). Many struggle with this because it goes against the grain of what is most comfortable. Small groups that have an inward encouragement to one another and an outward love for those who need Jesus are the healthiest.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on small group mentality? Is it just for the group or a little of both evangelism and discipleship?

Under the authority of R.S. 47:297 (H) and 47:1511 and in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:950 et seq., the Department of Revenue, Policy Services Division, proposes to adopt LAC 61:I:1915 relative to the Small Town Health Professionals credit.

Citizens Advice 1066 will be helping people in Hastings and St Leonards slash their energy bills by up to £300 as part of a series of special events for Big Energy Saving Week, which starts on Monday January 22.
The nationwide campaign, run by Energy Saving Trust, Citizens Advice and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will help households reduce their energy bills by offering advice and information.
Volunteers and staff from Citizens Advice will be on hand, at a number of organised events, to provide people with the latest advice, and demonstrate how simple switching can be – and how the Energy Switch Guarantee offers peace of mind throughout the process.
Tracy Dighton, from Citizens Advice 1066, said: "We want to help as many local residents as possible in coping with energy bills, getting the right benefits and other energy related help such as an assessment to help them make their homes more energy efficient or being able to read a smart meter.
"There will be a number of opportunities to meet our volunteers during the Week.
"We will be having special sessions where people can bring their bills in for a check. We'll also be out in the community at local venues such as nurseries or in the Town Hall.
"We're working with Energise Sussex Coast and will be doing a 'Heat Walk' around St Leonards looking at different kinds of buildings with a thermal camera that shows how much heat is being lost from eg the roof or single glazed windows."
Special sessions and events, offering advice, take place at Citizens Advice 1066, at Renaissance House, London Road, St Leonards, on Monday 22, from 9am -12.30pm and from 7pm - 8pm; then at the Town Hall in Hastings town centre on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24, from 10am - 12pm.
There is also a session on Wednesday 24 at the Seaview Centre, Hatherley Road, St Leonards, from 10am - 12pm and at Christchurch Hall, Old London Road, Ore, on Thursday 25 from 10am - 12pm.
There is a session on Friday 26 at the Fellowship of St Nicholas Centre, 66, London Road, St Leonards, and a final session at 1066 Citizens Advice, London Road, St Leonards, on Saturday 28 from 10am - 11am.
Philip Sellwood, Chief Executive, Energy Saving Trust, said: "Only 17% of people in the South East switched energy supplier last year, despite the savings possible. During Big Energy Saving Week we will be sharing the simple tips and advice people can make to reduce their energy costs every day."
Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said: "Checking your energy tariff and switching to a cheaper deal is one of the quickest and easiest ways to cut your bills.
"We know people who stay with the same energy supplier often pay hundreds of pounds more a year for the same gas and electricity. It is too often the most vulnerable and those with the lowest incomes who pay the highest prices for their energy."
Tracy Dighton said: "'Many people are finding it hard to cope with their energy bills. Our volunteers can help people stay warmer by lowering bills through helping find discounts and savings.
"They also have lots of tips on how to keep warm and can refer people into the Winter Home Check Service for an assessment on what measures could make their home warmer. Anyone is welcome to come and get the help."
For free advice on switching energy supplier call Citizens Advice on 03454 04 05 06 or log on to www.citizensadvice.org.uk. To see how much you could save on your energy bill, the Citizens Advice price comparison tool can be found at energycompare.citizensadvice.org.uk.

As part of puppy-proofing your house, make sure you never leave loose change lying around… especially pennies!
Because pennies have zinc in them and zinc is fatal to dogs.
As seen in the following video, the secret to a dog's survival after swallowing one or more pennies is early removal!
Fortunately, this puppy vomited up 7 of the 130 pennies he had swallowed. That's when the dog's owners took immediate action and got him to a vet where the pennies were surgically removed.
Don't let this happen to your dog…
Please be diligent about keeping all forms of loose change out of your dog's reach!
I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I'm truly passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

The Political Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Ghana Mr. Jiang Zhouteng was also present at the meeting.
Ambassador Sun extended her New Year's greeting to the Honorable Speaker Ocquaye and introduced the latest developments of the China-Ghana relations.

text: Tax breaks approved for Goshen beverage warehouse and Warwick brewery Amy's Kitchen gets extension because of project delays Dana Distributors in Goshen GOSHEN — The Orange County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) board approved tax breaks for the expansion of a warehouse in Goshen for a beverage distribution company and the construction of a brewery in Warwick.Dana DistributorsThe IDA approved a 10-year payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) for English Dana Enterprises's $7.9 million warehouse expansion as well as $264,000 in sales tax exemptions. The company, which distributes beverages in Orange, Sullivan and Rockland counties, plans to add 46,500 square feet to its 119,000-square-foot warehouse on Hatfield Lane in Goshen to accommodate a growing business.English Dana Enterprises currently employs 85 full-time workers and five part-timers. With financial assistance from the IDA, the company said it will add 18 full-time positions and 12 part-time hires. All new employees would be local.Pine Island BrewingThe IDA board also agreed to a partial tax exemption requested by Kraftify, which operates as Pine Island Brewing, to develop another brewery at the site of the former Mid-Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick. The company sought a 10-year PILOT for the $2.7 million project, which includes the purchase of 1.3 acres and the construction of a 15,000-square-foot production facility, as well as a canning line and tasting room.The board granted Krafitfy a partial exemption for town and school taxes, as well as a sales tax exemption of up to $110,000 and a mortgage recording tax exemption of $18,000. This modification is a result of Kraftify's retail component, as the IDA has opted not to provide a full 10-year PILOT for projects of this nature with more than a 10 percent retail element.Amy's KitchenThe board also approved a request made by attorney Larry Wolinsky on behalf of Amy's Kitchen to extend the date by which $500,000 provided by the IDA for infrastructure and site work must be drawn. The original date outlined in the agreement between the parties was December 2018. But because of project delays, the board agreed to extend the date to Dec. 2020.

BERLIN -- Lower Saxony, Volkswagen Group's second-largest shareholder, said it would hold on to its stake in the carmaker despite one of the German state's two main political parties calling for changes in the way the company is managed.
The northwestern German state, which draws hundreds of millions of euros in dividend payments and business tax from VW, owns an 11.8 percent stake in VW and controls 20 percent of the voting rights in the carmaker.
"We explicitly acknowledge our commitment to the state holding in Volkswagen that we adhere to," Lower Saxony Prime Minister Stephan Weil said on Wednesday before the regional parliament in Hanover. "This state holding is of the highest importance for the economic development of Lower Saxony."
Lower Saxony is home to VW's global headquarters and about 120,000 people employed by the carmaker.
Weil's Social Democrats (SPD) last week forged a grand coalition government with the Christian Democrats (CDU) that will run Lower Saxony for the next five years after the previous SPD-Green Party alliance lost its majority in a vote on Oct. 15.
A possible disposal of Lower Saxony's VW stake has been advocated by Germany's liberal pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), which last Sunday triggered a political crisis in Europe's most populous nation by pulling out of exploratory coalition talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU and the Green Party.
Bernd Althusmann, Lower Saxony's incoming economy minister, has favored someone from outside the auto industry to succeed VW CEO Matthias Mueller and wanted to cede one of the state's two board seats to a non-political expert. But after Althusmann's CDU party lost the regional election last month to the SPD, he has claimed the economy minister's right to join VW's supervisory board alongside Weil.

Tuesday Workout and one mini rant about Food!
Tuesday 8.12.14 //Day 2 of Harvest CrossFit's free Trial Week//
Warmup- Cleans with a Medball// learning how to clean!
BWC (bodyweight conditioning)- 3 rounds not timed- 30 second handstand hold //now don't freak out, we're going to scale and teach!// 10 ring rows.
Metabolic Conditioning- 5 RFT (rounds for time) 15 KBS (53/35) 15 Pushups 15 TTB// 15 min time cap.
*For you experienced CrossFitters, comment below and tell me what will be so spicy about the MetCon. Can you see it?
ok so as an educator, I would always see kids with their 'healthy snacks'. They'd be like granola bars or cheesy fish. I'd say "Granola Bar? really?" "uhh yah Mr. Jones, whole grains!" It's like saying "uhh yah Mr. Jones, my mother only buys the finest of poison to feed me with." Eating candy and cheats doesn't bother me, what bothers me is fake healthy food. A Cliff Bar should taste way better considering it's just as bad as a Snicker's bar! Just eat a Snicker's bar!

I too am hoping this is so. Such a great way to offer a galley copy to a client.
Suggestion: Print Photobook and Tradebook from the same file
I have made an 8x10" photobook, which I would like printed as both a high quality photobook and as a cheaper trade book. Both books are offered in 8x10", so why do I have to start over again? Please make this possible ASAP! Many thanks

I have not been able to find an answer to this question!
I believe you can use the same files for the Trade #3 size and standard photo book. However, you will have to create separate orders and uploads due to paper quality and cover as these will effect the sizing of the cover. Plus these books are different animals even though they will appear the same. The trade books are a great way to print an inexpensive galley copy.
I only wish the trade books were offered in all sizes.
