The Conservative Party performed more strongly than many expected in the local elections because they've been given the benefit of the doubt by Brexiteers. It was a gaze into the future of what is possible for the party if it has the guts to see this through.
Even with Theresa May's flakiness and lack of conviction when it comes to Britain's independence, the party mopped up the pro-Brexit vote.
All night we heard of the UKIP vote collapsing and going Tory. Dudley was a classic example where on the night local Tories cited switching Brexiteers from purple to blue as the reason that they were winning seats. There they gained six seats on the night, meaning that they are now level with Labour on the Council.
The final numbers in #Dudley.

Number crunching expert Sir John Curtice spelt it out: "The Conservative Party has been reminded tonight that the electorate it now has is disproportionately a Leave electorate…something like 70% of the Conservative vote are people who voted Leave and that therefore above all what the Conservative Party has to be able to do in the coming weeks and months is to deliver on Brexit in a way that will satisfy the aspirations of Leave voters."
Other analysis of the numbers has shown that the Tories weren't picking up votes in strongly Remain areas, but were instead benefiting from increased support in strongly pro-Brexit areas. In other words, it was the Brexiteers wot won it.
The Conservative vote flatlined in pro-Remain areas but surged by nearly 10 pts where Leave was strong – @whatukthinks

This is a timely reminder given the total lack of leadership being shown by the Prime Minister, as Boris Johnson and others tear apart the soft EU Customs partnership option which would not deliver the full independence that the majority in the country crave.
The Brexiteer vote cannot be taken for granted. Less than half of 2015 UKIP voters backed the Conservatives in 2017, with lots staying at home and others voting Labour.
If the Tories want to win over these voters and convince them to stick with them, then there can be no half-way house, no dither, dilution or delay on Brexit.
In my opinion, if the Conservatives were to deliver a full, clean Brexit whilst finally slashing migration, becoming fiscally conservative when it comes to the foreign aid budget, being much tougher on law and order whilst arguing in favour of replacing the Europhile House of Lords with an elected Senate, they could clean up.
If Conservatives hold nerve and deliver on Brexit, slash migration, cut foreign aid & go hard on law and order, they could properly decimate Labour.
— Michael Heaver (@Michael_Heaver) May 4, 2018
Ultimately, the Brexiteer vote can't be beaten. Every single person who voted against leaving the European Union was defeated at the ballot box in a straight vote.
Support Westmonster
The Leave majority now want to see the government take on Remoaner MPs, Europhile Lords and the increasingly unhinged European Union. If they do, they'll continue to be rewarded by voters at the ballot box. Bottling it now would be a catastrophic mistake.

How to Start
There are seemingly infinite ways to get in shape these days. We believe that no matter which method you choose, a steady progression that's built on a strong competency in the basics is what will not only get you in shape, but will allow you to stay that way for the rest of your life.
Our Boot Camp is the first step in that process. We begin and end each 6-week session with a simple test. Although the movements, in theory, are pretty straightforward (we test push-ups, squats, and sit-ups), our challenge is not that you blindly accumulate more reps, but that you instead only add quantity when you know that the quality is first in place.
I was fortunate to be able to work with the last camp held at TwinTown. The group was just fun to work with, but even better than that was the fact that from the start of the camp through the end, the average improvement I saw in our people was 43%. FORTY THREE! Some people more than doubled their capacity by the time we made it to the final test! Yes, statistics are super nerdy, but I couldn't be more proud to have seen the success these hard working people created for themselves over just 6 short weeks.
Want in on our next one?!
Our next morning camp kicks off on 10/2 and meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00am. GRAB A SPOT HERE.
You do not need to be in any specific shape to get going with us. It's our job to teach you how to move better, and to show you that you're capable of more than you think - just let us do our thing! Questions? Nia (who's leading these upcoming camps) is happy to get them answered for you! Just shoot her an email at email@example.com so she can get you all squared away.
There's nothing to it but to do it. Give 6 weeks a shot and watch what happens!

I swear I think she has gotten around cuz when I was pregnant and shopping in Encino a woman asked me how many kids I'm going to have and before I could answer she said "..because you should only have 2 to replace you and your husband on the Earth and not cause any more impact on the environment and resources." I told her it was none of her business but that I will make sure we recycle and when we get a house, we'll start a compost pile and send her a picture so she feels better. ;)

Building Heroes
Building heroes In "Beyond Hazing," you read that hazing teaches people behaviors that will hinder them from making significant contributions in others' lives. When our founders were imagining the organizations that became fraternities and sororities, they were creating organizations whose purposes were to transform ordinary men and women into people who would change the world. Is your chapter ready to continue their legacy? Read on.
What does it mean to be a hero?
Almost everybody can name a hero, whether it is somebody who had a significant impact on you personally, somebody who has made a significant impact on the world, or even a fictional character who exemplifies heroic qualities. Some of you may now be thinking of a mother, father, coach, teacher, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., a former president of the United States, a religious leader, or Batman and Spider-Man. What do heroes have in common?
According to Zeno Franco and Philip Zimbardo's The Banality of Heroism (2006-07), heroes:
- Work to preserve ideal/value or life
- Confront an actual or anticipated risk/sacrifice
- Engage actively (fight) or passively (resistance)
- Engage in an one-time act or on-going
In the context of fraternities and sororities, heroism is what lies at the far right side of the continuum – it is the ultimate realization of our organizations' purposes. It is going way beyond the minimum expectations, to the place our founders wanted us as lifelong members to go. In other words, if we give every single member what we promise to give them, we are preparing them to be our generation's heroes.
Hazing ---------- | ---------- Not hazing ---------- | ---------- Heroism
When you look back at the greatest heroes of the 19th and 20th centuries, do you think it is a coincidence that so many of them are affiliated with fraternities and sororities? Of course not. Those heroes embraced their personal values and their organizations' purposes, and made it their life's work to preserve or pursue those ideals and values.
In your chapter, how can you move toward the far right side of the continuum. In hazing or unhealthy organizations, people are taught to blindly follow a group of leaders, to not stand up for their values, and to not rock the boat. In heroic organizations, people are taught to (Franco & Zimbardo, 2006-07):
- Question what is, what could be – to ask: How does this fit with my chapter's and my personal values
- Stand up for beliefs/values – to ask: What does it say about me if I stand up against behavior or ideas that do not fit my personal values? What does it say about me if I do nothing?
- Be grounded in who they are – to ask: What would my mother, father, coach, teacher, etc. think of me if they knew what I was doing or thinking right now? What would my future employer, colleagues, neighbors, etc. think of me if they knew what I was doing or thinking right now?
- Lead the way (don't wait for others) – to know that by standing up, you may be giving others the strength to follow your lead
- Sacrifice short-term for long-term successes – to know that anything worth something is worth standing up for
The greatest gift that we can give the newest members of our organizations is the gift of preparing them to be our generation's best leaders, its best servants, and its best heroes. Indeed, it also is the greatest gift we can give back to our organizations, and ourselves.
Franco, Z. & Zimbardo, P. (2006-07, Fall/Winter). The banality of heroism. Greater Good, 30-35.

The Children's House 100 Day Celebration!
100 Today!
The children have been counting each day that we have been together as a classroom family. They were very excited about finally getting to day 100! We had special activities to do during the morning as well as a surprise or two.
We asked each child to bring in 100 small objects to count. It could have been pennies, marbles, buttons, Cheerio's, etc. The possibilities were endless. It was an exciting day for us!

GML update
My GML is awesome and answered me pretty quickly!
H e said it looked good but the belt should be raised up 2 inches or so. Those buttons on the lower part of the ab plate should not be seen!
I have to add Velcro or snaps to it but I didn't know exactly where to, so I didn't do it! Good cause now it's easy to fix!
And he also said he doesn't like the drop boxes very much!
Those are easy fix, cause I attached them with Velcro. I should have checked them better when I suited up! And I also should have checked the pictures! 😦
The worse part of it all is depending on people to be free to come take my picture. :S it will probably have to wait until the weekend again!
Oh well…

Debates need to move beyond hysteria
An idea is rarely delivered perfectly formed. As author Margaret Heffernan said in one of her excellent TED Talk lectures: "It emerges a little bit as a child is born, kind of messy and confused, but full of possibilities."
Currently though, our creativity and ability to take an idea and improve it in order to help solve problems is in danger of being paralysed by a prevailing tribalism in which extreme views are the ones that resonate most and the context and motivation for those views are lost in the noise.
As opinions have become narrower, more polarised and polarising, we seem more motivated by insulting those with different views than by efforts to find solutions.
As with most issues that attract extreme viewpoints, the truth generally lies somewhere in the middle. But finding that common ground isn't easy in the current environment.
The circular argument about whether or not there is an African gang crisis in Melbourne is a case in point.
Meanwhile, the debate over the Turnbull government's National Energy Guarantee is an area in which some perspective has been lost.
We need a policy and a strategy around energy security. Our bills are too high, coal is not the long-term solution, there must be investment in renewables, and emissions need to be reduced. Most reasonable people seem to agree on that.
And the National Energy Guarantee seems a reasonable place to start. No one thinks the policy is perfect – not least Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg – but unless there is a policy, the uncertainty and infighting over emissions will continue.
"As with most issues that attract extreme viewpoints, the truth generally lies somewhere in the middle.''
The 26 per cent target is higher than some would like and a lot lower than others are calling for. But what is consistently overlooked is that this is a minimum target, not a ceiling, and if the states want to aim higher they should show some guts and go higher.
For the states, a commitment to investing in renewables would appear to be a vote winner, while I doubt being lazy and allowing other states to pick up the slack would be a popular policy.
Since ideas are vital to our continuing evolution and problem-solving capabilities, it was disappointing that politicians from both major parties rejected and even rubbished a proposal from lord mayor Sally Capp, revealed in The Age last week, to introduce a congestion charge in Melbourne.
It wasn't actually a new idea and it works well in other countries. A congestion charge in London has been in place since 2003 and has been tweaked and updated for various environmental reasons since.
It is widely accepted that it has been successful, was warranted and has made London a more attractive place to live and visit. The revenue raised has been used to improve public transport and infrastructure.
It is instructive that in the comments from readers and on talkback radio there was pushback over Capp's proposal being dismissed so lightly by politicians.
And it is also interesting that when British Labour politician Ken Livingstone was elected as London mayor, it was on the back of a campaign to bring in the congestion charge. ''Red'' Ken was subsequently hailed as a visionary.
We want our politicians to take risks, break the mould and be leaders rather than favour political point-scoring when devising policies.
Conflict, opposing opinions and disagreements are vital for our evolution, but these discussions need to be conducted responsibly and respectfully, otherwise creativity is stifled.
Most viewpoints, even the most extreme, are based on fact. But facts, just like stats, can be interpreted in different ways for different reasons.
What's important for media organisations such as The Age is to avoid contributing to the hysteria and to add context and balance to the debate. And to encourage the development of an idea from a messy and confused beginning to one that makes a difference.

Shadow Boxing Tips
For the shadow boxing portion of this routine, you should focus on throwing fast punches throughout the 30-second period. If boxing is foreign to you, focus on throwing straight punches. Alternate between a left jab and straight right hand punch (or a right jab and straight left hand if you are left handed).
Throw your punches from a traditional boxing stance. If you are right handed, you will begin with feet shoulder width apart. Take a step forward with your left foot. You will then turn the body and feet slightly to the right to form a semi-sideways stance. Your bodyweight will be evenly distributed on the balls of each foot. The knees should be slightly bent with your right heel raised slightly off the ground (reverse this stance if you are left handed, step forward with the right foot in front so you can jab with your right hand). Your hands will be up by your face, with your elbows close by your sides.
Begin by jabbing with the left hand. You will throw the punch down a straight line while twisting the arm in a corkscrew motion. Your right hand will remain close to your face as the left hand is extended. Once the jab is extended, you will return the hand back to the starting position while simultaneously throwing a straight right hand. You will throw the right hand down a straight path towards an imaginary target. Pivot the hips as your arm extends. Continue to work these two punches for the duration of the 30-second period.
If you are a more experienced fighter, you can mix in additional punches such as the left hook and right uppercut.
By integrating Burpees with shadow boxing, you will quickly learn to fight through fatigue. After a few rounds of this drill, your body will be exhausted. It is important to maintain proper punching technique throughout the drill. Keep your hands up and continue punching. If you compete as a combat athlete, there will be times when you are completely fatigued and must continue to fight. This drill will help prepare you for these situations.
Boxing Simplified
Devoted as I am to popularizing amateur boxing and to improving the caliber of this particularly desirable competitive sport, I am highly enthusiastic over John Walsh's boxing instruction book. No one in the United States today can equal John's record as an amateur boxer and a coach. He is highly regarded as a sportsman. Before turning to coaching and the practice of law John was one of the most successful college and Golden Gloves boxers the sport has ever known.

They say the key to happiness is enjoying the simple things life has to offer. English 12 mini student recently practiced the art of appreciation by writing Odes to everyday items. Cheese and coffee seem deserving of such praise, but the humble bobby pin and modest naglet (that thing on the end of your sweatshirt string)… who knew they were so loved?!
Ode to Water (by Khalid)
A simple clean liquid
Rid me of my thirst
Without taste
Without smell
Yet I crave you
Overlooked, under-appreciated
Life diminishes without your presence
Cycling through mature
Ground, clouds, rain
Making up much of this earth and our body
Cleansing, purifying, drenching
You are everywhere
We blame you for flooding us
Yet we flood you with our garbage everyday
Almighty fluid
Gentle enough to wash hands
Strong enough to break rocks
Whether it is in a warm cup of tea
or in a cold Slurpee
Effortlessly you quench me
It's not you that I live for
but rather because of you
I live
Coffee (by Adrian)
a friend to the sleepy dwells inside a mug
he has many flavors, for those of all tastes
liquid scorches
the very taste buds from the tongue
he helps keep you up, for hours on end
and lets you crash after
his effects have worn off
french roast
the beans to perfection
a soothing aroma
drift through to the lungs
warm my cold lifeless body
bring it alive with your soul mate
the daily dose
it's all my CNS needs
brewed by the ounce, bought by the pound
caffeinated ambrosia
a nectar
worthy of gods
quench thirst in a heartbeat
while speeding it up
An Ode to Cheese (by Tasha)
Without you, pizza would be heartbroken
Without you, my poutine has no soul
Without you, what would my nachos drown in?
Without you, what would we say before the camera flashes?
There's feta from Greece, Brie from France, and Boursin from Costco
Smooth, creamy, blue and curdy
white, aged, peppery and processed
Ode to Cheese
Ode to Showers (by Allison L.)
The monsoon of Jamaican droplets disturbs the porcelain sanctuary.
Venturing int he scorching storms with a hazy mind,
A torrid current crushes all remnants of sleep like grains in a hardy grind.
Pantene, Olay, Trésemme, Dove surround the basin as plastic statuary.
To what do haggard bodies owe this heavenly delight?
A manual rejuvenation available day and night,
One is typical,
Two is less banal,
Three is prodigal.
Fire and ice coexist in the twist of a knob,
The scorching heat or frigid cold can make the toughest man sob.
A masseuse with saturated fingertips,
Barely suppressed moans escape from the customer's lips.
A captive developing Stockholm syndrome with the captor monsoon,
An enticing romance for all to swoon.
Ode to the Bobby Pin (By Caron)
You, bobby pin, are
too unpretentious.
You might not look like much,
but the way I see it,
you should have your own religious cult,
because, you, my friend, are a savior.
Forget flimsy barrettes or crazy crab-like clips.
You, with your steely arms
iron grip
and toned body,
all the girls will be choosing you.
And if you had to teach a class,
"Ms. Bobby Pin, I have a question!"
would never be hear.
Because you've given us all the answers.
You're the superhero
who needs no sidekick
For be it an
updo or simply style,
You're ready to rescue the world,
one bang at a time.
Disregarding your flimsy folk
(unworthy of even casual mention)
Your strong embrace
hugging hair strands
are enough to make any many
feel beautiful.
Whether it be buns of braids
I'm never afraid
for you have rarely failed
My only wish
a humble request(-ish)
is if you could tie a ponytail…
Ode to the small guys section at Forever 21, Richmond Centre (by Reuben)
That "girl" clothing store where dudes don't dare enter
Manikins posed voluptuously alluring
I pose the question to my pals, shall we take a peak?
They don't answer
Everything calls my name, I would grab any
Stuck in the corner, cramped looking at the same clothes
In the distance, ladies have an infinite supply of fabrics to choose from
Thought small, I fully appreciate there even is a guy's section
I finally grasp the cardigan, no more woes
Girls your bill can't compare to my sum
I am awestruck at my reflection
Ode to Chopsticks (by Andy)
Within the drawer,
resting under clustered clumps.
Forever fufilled,
in the presence of another.
Relying on teamwork,
twirling amongst sleeping noodles;
food stands no chance.
Your functions,
ever boundless utility,
even a child could tame.
You dance in pairs
bought together by strange paths.
Symmetrical and elegant,
with streaming ribbons
coiled around you like snakes.
Serve me,
until you snap.
I will remember you
and your family,
for guiding food into my mouth.

For someone of my generation or older, the digital economy is a mystery with countless purchases being made online, around the world, every hour let alone day. Yet, it is the times we live in and all of us must learn to adapt.
The advancement of technology is so fast, Governments are always playing 'catch up' when it comes to legislation designed to place limits or safeguards on the digital economy, so it should be no surprise that the UK Government has already replaced the Act it introduced in 2010 with The Digital Economy Act 2017. This latest version introduces methods to ensure that minors (those under 18) cannot access pornographic material, among other things.
From the outset, naturism has been greatly affected by online pornography, with naturists reluctant to share images, either still or moving, of themselves and others enjoying the simple delights of non-sexual social nudity, fearful that they would end up on a porn website for the purpose of sexual arousal. The truth is, so many images are uploaded to the internet, the chances that a pornographer will find your picture or video are slim, but we cannot deny, it does happen. Yet, research carried out by NAG has found that pornography has abused the naturist lifestyle from much earlier on in history. We discovered a porn film from the 1930s titled Nudist Barsupposedly set in France. It's short, less than six minutes, but it gives the consumer from whatever age the impression that because naturists are nude together, we are constantly aroused and desire sex. Another words, naturist equals swinger equals sexual availability.
While naturists might have an excuse for not combating the abuse of their lifestyle before the internet age, since then international naturist organisations (possibly working through the INF) could have cooperated with each other to prevent the worst excesses of pornography, both offline and online. With it now being so invasive it may be too late to act and naturism will have to reluctantly live with the consequences. Besides it is our belief that the INF is now too dysfunctional with poor leadership, to undertake such a coordinating task.
In the meantime, NAG has responded to a consultation request issued by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) on its draft Online Pornography (Commercial Basis) Regulations 2017 for confirming age-verification controls. We have argued that the BBFC also has a role in consumer protection and guarding against copyright infringement; only time will tell if we were persuasive enough. If we learn anything, we'll let you know.

Italian composer and violin virtuoso Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840) was also a guitarist, composing more than 100 songs for guitar. Paganini's Sonata for Violin and Guitar in E minor became especially famous in Korea after it was used as background music in the 1995 SBS drama "Sandglass."
Korean-born Belgian guitarist Denis Sung-ho Janssens will take three friends ― who are among the top violin, viola and cello performers ― to perform together in the concert, "Traveling Paganini: Journey to the Sun," at the LG Arts Center in Seoul on March 16.
The first part of the program includes diverse Paganini pieces, ranging from a solo guitar piece "Collection de Ghiribizzi 1-5" to violin and guitar duo "Sonata Concertata in A Major," to a trio of viola, cello, guitar "Terzetto D maj MS 113" to "Quartet 15, movement 1, 4 and 5."
The second half will be more diverse, including composers from different Latin countries. It will start with Spanish composer Manuel de Falla's "3 Spanish Dances" for viola and guitar, and continue with Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos' "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5" for cello and guitar. The concert will conclude with Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla's works including "Nightclub 1960" for violin and guitar and a quartet piece "Oblivion."
|Clockwise from top left: Guitarist Denis Sung-ho Janssens, violinist Lorenzo Gatto, cellist Song Young-hoon and violist Lyda Chen Argerich in the poster for "Travelling Paganini: Journey to the Sun." (Sens Management)
Janssens, who was adopted by a Belgian family immediately after his birth in Busan in 1975, became famous in Korea in recent years when the story of his search for his birth mother was broadcast on TV.
Often called as Denis Sung-ho here, the artist won first prize at Belgium's national "Young Talent" competition at 14. He was named "The Rising Star" by the European Concert Hall Organization in 2004 and debuted at the Carnegie Hall in 2005.
Last year, Denis Sung-ho released an album encompassing the complete cycle of Paganini's "Ghiribizzi" on the NAXOS label.
For the violin part, the 2009 Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition second winner Lorenzo Gatto will join the stage, while Swiss violist Lyda Chen Argerich, elder daughter of legendary pianist Martha Argerich, will exhibit her talent as well.
Song Young-hoon, arguably the most sought after cellist in Korea, will collaborate with the three artists. Song's recordings include a 2009 album of Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich sonatas with pianist Andrius Zlabys, a 2007 album "Song of Brazil" with U.S. guitarist Jason Vieaux and a 2006 Piazolla album with Japanese tango quartet Cuatrocientos.
"Travelling Paganini: Journey to the Sun" will be held at the LG Arts Center in Seoul on March 16 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from 30,000 won to 100,000 won. For details, call (02) 3436-5222.

Relationship Goals: What I Learned Year One
I recently celebrated my first year anniversary, and I must admit, it was a blissful one. Aside from all the nuances of a new relationship, I made a friend too. Finally, I was with a person who was just as curious about the world as I was. Someone I could share my love of travel, and laughter.
Admittedly, this is my first non-toxic relationship. I know it may sound crazy, and I'm okay with that. Maya Angelou said, "When you know better, you do better." I consciously chose to be in a relationship that furthered my growth as a person, as it would his. However I must be honest, there were times when I had doubt. Questioning myself if all this was real. Was it really okay to be happy? And with no strings attached? It was a self-sabotaging behavior, caused by the stories I created in my mind surrounding fear. Because something bad had to happen, right? I think when you've felt abandoned and fought for scraps, there's still a part of you that clings to it. It's definitely something I had to check. I'm human, and letting go always has some learning curves.
Now vs. Then
I had allowed myself to become so consumed by keeping others happy in previous relationships that I never got to figure out what made Ayana happy. When I did find out, it was time to part ways. When you love yourself, I mean truly love yourself, you don't look for acceptance from other people, and you damn sure aren't willing to accept anything less than what you deserve. I made a pact with myself: to fall in love with me again. To learn what made me laugh, what made me tick, I even went to lunch alone. I didn't want to enter any new relationship with excess baggage. I knew when God brought someone my way I wanted to be ready to receive their love. I'm so blessed. I'm blessed to have had the knowledge that entering a new relationship before getting right with myself was an absolute NO.
So this first year, I learned that it was okay to love a nice guy. It was okay to not have drama. It was okay to disagree, and still coexist. It was okay to heal and send love to those that came before. It was okay to grow. When you understand you are here to co-create a life with God, you understand you are entitled to those blessings
Now I'm glowing, and all I can say is I'm happy. A relationship is a reflection of the love you have for yourself, and my happiness starts from within. Always.

When I started Flight Training at the end of 2007 the employment market was looking good; unfortunately, when I finished in 2010 the market had become the opposite.
For many years I kept my licence and medical current and kept flying for practice and recreation on a Cessna 172. Despite sending applications to companies all over the world I was not invited to selection and so was slowly losing hope that I would find a job as a commercial airline pilot.
Shortly after my 6th CPL/IR recurrency flight in 2016 I read an article in my flying club's monthly magazine about a pilot who had enrolled onto the BESTPILOT course at Kura Aviation. Normally I am a bit sceptical about these examples, because you can pay a lot of money and end up as just another number in another pool. But this was not a commercial magazine and this pilot's amazing experience caught my attention. I contacted him and we had a great conversation.
I decided to contact Kura Aviation and shortly after that I had all the information I needed, and more importantly, the feeling was just right! I regained hope and soon went off to this picturesque town called Stratford-upon-Avon, where the Kura Aviation office is stationed. After a warm welcome by the Kura staff I was soon with a group of about 8 pilots who were all there for the same reason, to get their first job as a commercial airline pilot!
The Kura staff are all amazing people who really enjoy what they do and are 110% committed. This is seen during the whole course, because it was very professional and everyone is really involved.
At the end of the course I still struggled a little with communicating the competencies and therefore I got extra training from Isobel herself, all free of charge. She was dedicated to helping me and making sure I was on the right track.
Soon after completing BESTPILOT I received an invitation to Norwegian selection through Kura.
I was really well prepared and went to the selection day with confidence. Not even a week later I was in the IKEA car park when I received an email from Norwegian telling me that I had got the job as First Officer!
Looking back all I can say is I am really happy for choosing Kura Aviation and amazingly thankful for what they did. I am proud of being part of the BESTPILOT community and am sure I would not have this job without them.
At Kura aviation you feel like being part of a family, not just another number.

Well hello, handsome
Lovely face, nice rear and fabulously proportioned. Does this looker get a 10 out of 10? Let's check him out together.
We get to see some pretty stunning properties here at Muddy – but just occasionally there's one that I'd sell my grandmother for. And this is it!
So please smile coquettishly and / or doff your hat to this handsome dwelling set on 2.3 acres of established and secluded grounds in the heart of Woldingham. Play the game and guess the price – no cheatypoos – wait until the end.
There's so much to tell you about this property – called Badgers Bank – that I'm not sure where to start. So first, a bit about Woldingham, in case you don't know it. Woldingham is your quintessential English village just a few miles from Oxted, and less than a mile from Caterham. Woldingham station is 2 miles away with direct trains to central London, and schools-wise you've got Woldingham School for girls, and the co-ed Caterham School nearby, as well as Hazlewood Prep school.
The house at Badgers Bank was designed and built by the current owner, and although it's undoubtably modern, it also oozes character and charm – from the rustic flit and mellow brick to the clay tiled roof and brick inglenook fireplace and oak beams.
It's a whopper of a house, at just under 6000 square feet, and not a single detail has been overlooked in its design. It was planned with wow-factor in mind – and this it has in droves.
You arrive at the house via a long driveway through bespoke wrought iron electrically operated gates. There's a triple garage with direct access to the house – so you can drive right in. There's no getting wet and cold on a blustery day.
Inside the front door – itself a gorgeous solid timber specimen – you'll immediately get the sense of space and light. A large reception hall leads right into the drawing room with triple or straight ahead into the stunning kitchen breakfast room which features a vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors that open onto a large deck area.
Downstairs you'll also find a family living room, dining room, study and utility room.
Tip-toe up the stairs and you'll find four double bedrooms – each with an ensuite bathroom, plus a large loft room and family shower-room. The master bedroom has been beautifully designed with a vaulted ceiling a dressing area and built-in wardrobes and a ensuite bathroom with a separate wet-room style shower.
A self-contained annex – accessed via a separate staircase from the main hall – includes a bedroom with an ensuite shower room and a living room with a kitchenette – the perfect place to park the in-laws when they come to stay – or a the ideal quarters for a live-in nanny or au pair.
Outside, you've got large grounds and gardens and – the crème de la crème – an outdoor heating swimming pool, a brand new pool house with its own studio gym and changing rooms. There's also a barn.
So how much do you think this baby's worth. There's a lot of house here – and it's in a highly sought-after area within easy commuting distance of London. Find out here.

This little girl is nothing short of precious and oh so styling! Miss Windsor is about to turn 2 and this little miss was so fun to shoot, not only because she was full of life running around the museum park, but also because I got to see first hand all of the love that surrounds her. While playing around with her mom and dad, she also had three sisters join her for her shoot. I loved being able to capture all of their playful moments, especially when they were searching for George, that is Curious George (see last pic below), Windsors favorite animated character, so cute!

New Yorkers lag in cycling to work, study showsPosted: Updated:
(AP) - Other cities have pulled way ahead of New Yorkwhen it comes to bicycling to work. That's despite a controversialpush by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to build bike lanes across thecity.
A new study by Rutgers University shows the percentage of NewYorkers commuting by bicycle barely budged during a 19-year period.In 1990 it was 0.3 percent of commuters. By 2009 it was 0.6percent.
In Chicago, the rate increased fourfold during that time. Ittripled in Washington, San Francisco and Minneapolis. And inPortland, Oregon the rate went from 1.1 percent to 5.8 percent ofcommuters.
The study also found that women make up only 20 percent ofbicycle commuters in New York. In the other cities they were closerto one-third.

Mommy's little boy no more
10:37 AM Posted by Neneng
Goodness he has become like a cloned weed lol. How did he grew up so fast? Richard and i were just browsing some videos when he was only 4mnths and helpless now he can almost get what he wants at his own convenience. He turned nine months last week, weight(20.2lbs) at 45% and height(29.1inches) at 80%, not too bad considering his mother is short lol. Loaded with many tricks like going down the table by scooting legs first and let gravity pulls him down is the most gutsy maneuver i've seen, i know babies are careless and doesn't know any better but he does know not to dive head first from tables, bed anymore. All i have to say is "bobu"an he knows what it means. He'll sit and wait till someone grabs him or simply would look down over and over and i guess realize how big of a fall it would be if he try. It's the repetition that made these babies smart hahaha. Newly acquired facial expression like the lemon face(i named it)after he took a sip of the lemon and squeezed his face downward was the most funny face his grandpa had ever seen in years. Silly thing is he'll ask for more and would gladly do the lemon face again. He must love sour taste like i do. Singing and dancing are few of his favorites especially when he hears me singing the twinkle twinkle. Besides the walking with me holding one hand, i could tell he really wants to walk unsuppported and reach all corners of our little house lol. What he does to get through is pull himself up by leaning towards the wall and walk sideways. If not walking he would climb the stairs if gates left open. Thank god he hasn't fell yet but we already put it on our routine to close the gates all the time coz he could sneak in behind our back. When we take him in the shower room expect him to be at the side of the tub waiting to be picked up. he would raise his arms and blabber until you grab his little butt, he loves to take shower the adult way, one time he slide into the tub while daddys taking shower i heard a big sound i thought he crack his head or something but it was daddy calling me to come over, i saw mattie sittting down next to his dads foot with an excited look on his face, he still got a diaper on soaking wet but very happy to get in there lol. How he climb there we don't know, but he did it, probably slide his heavy head over. Clever he had become. Definitely not a baby anymore.
This coming holidays we will be in the philippines. It's about time for matthew to meet the other side of the family. Hearing my family's excitement makes me want to fast forward the days, i could not wait to relax the whole month and not worry about mommy chores lol. There's going to be a lot of travelling coz were not directly flying to davao from manila, we decided to visit cebu then davao before settling at my parents hometown of mati for the holidays. This is going to be draining when it comes to loading and unloading luggages. We might go to hongkong or bangkok if cebu pacific airfares stays cheap during our trip. Right now it says less than 20dollars on their webpage(going to hongkong/bangkok). Too cheap to be true? we shall see. It would be an exciting sidetrip when that happens. This is going to be mattie's baptismal too and inlaws are flying there for the occassion and short getaway.
That's all for now folks. P.s. i haven't forgotten my long overdue tag assignment. Coming up soon!
Video of the week. Enjoy

Cutting Down a Tree
10 comments:
That takes care of that. Impressive saw.ReplyDelete
That reminds me, I've got a problem tree at the top of my driveway that needs to come down.
Glad you got the monster gone! And we got to see the elusive son you speak of on occasion. Nice collection of saws he has, Ready for anything.ReplyDelete
Did you attempt to count the rings to determine it's age?
Maybe you can take a slab of that wood and make you a clock ?
NOW you can hit the road,,,lololol.,ReplyDelete
Good job ,,,done dirt cheap,,,
My son has lots of tools, but I'm really impressed with three chain saws!ReplyDelete
So many trees...so little time!ReplyDelete
Glad you got the problem tree out of the way!

I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree
Good looking firewood there, was that an Oak? Head to the flea market and pick up a pot belly stove before cold weather hits. Simmer a pot of beans on the stovetop while you nod off in the rocking chair.ReplyDelete
6bears, that big saw is impressive, it will take up to a ten foot bar. My son collects them.ReplyDelete
Ben, I will try to count the rings but will not make a clock. I don't have time to do the things I want to do now as it is.
Trouble, still need to get some things fixed on the new RV before a trip. Also got another rush job from my favorite customer today. Got it done and the other customer wants me to come see him for more work.
Gypsy, that is one of his hobbies, I believe he said he has more of them.
Hermit, Yes, that one was giving me problems. I still can not make the curve without backing up, but at least that tree will not grab me again.
Ted, I do not like to kill a living tree, but that will have cost me a lot when I try to replace that long power awning.
Jimdabob, I believe it was. The only leaves I could find on the ground were oak leaves, but I seem to remember it had small leaves on it. Of course my memory is not too good.
Thanks for the valuable feedback. I think that strategy is sound and can be easily replicable.Great posts. I love this article.

Dubai's Airport in Line to Become World's 2nd Busiest
Dubai International Airport is experiencing a record year, so much so, that it is now on track to become the world's second busiest airport, just behind London's Heathrow. Dubai, now home to the world's fourth largest airport, is expected to jump over Paris and Hong Kong this winter if trends continue as expected. The growth is due in some measure to the expansion of Emirates Airline, and if it continues Dubai could overtake Heathrow for the top position in 2015. Dubai's airport is currently in the midst of an expansion while many of the world's other largest largest airports, including Heathrow, are operating at or near capacity. The growth has come despite economic problems in the region and the downturn in business and tourist travel in the Middle East caused by the Arab Spring. Nevertheless year on year travel to the Dubai airport is up 7.3%, with more than 4.3 million travelers making the trip.

1 March 2012 – 31 March 2012
AV Festival 12 commissioned 16 new works by artists including: Phill Niblock, Yoshi Wada, Hamish Fulton, Iain Sinclair, Susan Stenger, Jonathan Schipper, Kenneth Goldsmith, Torsten Lauschmann, Julien Maire, Attila Csihar, Chris Watson, Richard Fenwick and Vicki Bennett.
Many of the works responded to the regions history, landscape and heritage. Chris Watson worked in the Tees Estuary; Iain Sinclair explored urban developments in Middlesbrough and Hartlepool; and Hamish Fulton inhabited the disused carpark at Spillers Wharf. Yoshi Wada responded to maritime history in his installation, which included ship ventilation pipes from the Discovery Museum.
Other work was sited in non-arts venues: Susan Stenger's sound installation resonated at Newcastle Civic Centre; Jonathan Schipper's slow motion car crash was visible 24-hours a day from an empty shop; Kenneth Goldsmith's reading reflected the literary history of Morden Tower; and Attila Csihar's baritone vocals filled the Tyne Bridge Tower.
Other commissions were collaborative. For Radio Boredcast, Vicki Bennett invited over 100 artists to contribute to a 31-day continuous radio broadcast. Phill Niblock produced a new work with Gateshead artist Rhodri Davies. And Hamish Fulton ended the Festival with participants in his Slowalk.
