Rated 5 out of 5 by Maui Girl from Love! Love! Love these placemats! I purchased a set of four mats a couple of months ago...and I can't tell you enough how much we love them. Not only are they beautiful and go perfectly with my Sicily/Lecruset tableware but they also protect my bare table top better than any fabric ones could. For special occasions; I pair them with a light lemon tablecloth and royal blue runners...which make quite the statement. The mats are sturdy and well made. I'm more than happy with my purchase!Date published: 2019-07-20

Outfits you can wear to Concerts
- 1 Outfits you can wear to Concerts
- 2 Concert Outfits
- 3 Festival Wear (Dress samples)
- 4 How to dress for a Concert in a NutShell
- 5 Final word
Concerts are held around the world for different reasons and for different classes of people. If you want to pull off a good concert outfit, understanding the kind of concert is key. Different concert requires different modes of dressing. What works for one can be disastrous for another. It's for this reason we have to put this guide together on the kind of outfits you can wear to concerts.
It's quite tricky to figure out the kind of dress to wear to a particular concert. Some require that your dress codes are formal why others require a more casual outfit. Still, you'll be better off using a smart-casual dress code for some. Don't worry we have all concert dress codes figured out in this guide. Read on.
Concert Outfits
Outfitting to a Concert Gig
Concert gig in a local club does not require sophisticated dress codes. A pair of jeans can go a long way for a local gig concert. Just as you would hang out with friends in the local club wearing slim cut jeans and a t-shirt, dress the same way to a concert gig. For starters grey or black denim jeans, and blue jeans are your best bet when he comes to wearing the right outfit for a concert gig.
Printed t-shirts with logos can work wonders for this location. The trick is to keep things simple and don't go overboard with your dressing. If you want to add a little bit of sophistication you can go with a turtleneck sweatshirt to liven things up.
Denim jackets are good layering options for a concert gig. They are always in trend and look good if worn rightly. If you'd rather go with denim on denim, make them of different shades.
What you can wear to the Operas
Going for concert operas means that you have to look strictly formal. The orchestra and those organizing the event will be on gowns and black suit and tie so it's expedient then that you should look the same. Even if this is your first time visiting the opera you should at least have your tuxedo on just like you do to a wedding party.
Pair in your black suit and tie with a pair of black shoes and white shirt to top it off.
What to put on to an Outdoor Concert
Outdoor concerts are a little rough and rugged so it is important that you put on clothes that can resist wear and tear. Unless you'll be standing at the Coachella at the VIP section there is every likelihood that you could pick up a lot of dirt because of the open nature of the place.
If you want to remain marginally comfortable in an outdoor concert experiment with a pair of boots, jeans, and a t-shirt to match. Layer with a denim or leather jacket to fight off the cold if the outdoor concert gets into the night or is held in colder months.
Concert during winter (What to wear)
Winter concert, just as the name implies are held during the winter season and demands that participants wear clothing that can keep them warm. No one is saying you shouldn't look stylish; you can look stylish in warm winter clothes.
First start off with a solid pair of boots, then work your way up to some rugged jeans. A heavy sweatshirt for the upper half of the body is ideal. Layer with a warm peacoat over the sweatshirt. Your layering options are advantageous if the winter concert is indoors. You have the liberty of taking the outer peacoat off to reveal your inner sweatshirt. Don't forget to take a small backpack to keep your coats assuming the concert doesn't have a cloakroom.
Outfits you can wear to a Reggae Concert
Outfitting to a reggae concert can be quite confusing. A lot of questions will pop up about what to wear and what not to wear. Depending on the kind of reggae concert the first thing you should think about are things that you shouldn't be wearing. This is not the time to go Rasta like in your teenage days. Try to keep things simple, a casual pair of trousers with a loose fitting t-shirt can just make things work. Look to your favorite pair of trainers for extra sophistication.
Outfits to a Country Concert
Country concerts are quite different from reggae concerts. Unlike reggae concerts where you are trying to avoid all the cliché, country music fans have more outfit options.
It's time to bring out the plaid and check shirt long sleeves. Use a pair of converse shoes with some dark wash jeans to add a little contemporary twist to the country home music attire. Just as I have said earlier, the plaid shirt works wonders.
Outfits to a Rock Concert
The outfit you pick to a rock concert typically depends on who the performer is. Generally, your outfit must incorporate a form of shiny leather jackets adorned with rings and chains. Mix those leather jackets with a pair of black or blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a polished Chelsea boot. Ready to rock and roll.
Festival Wear (Dress samples)
During festivals, people are often inundated which choices of what to wear. If you're looking for the appropriate clothing for festivals, look no more. Here at Menfashionnow we have broken things down showing samples and pictorial examples of what we think are great fitting clothes and attires for festivals. One rule of thumb is to avoid the popular festival check shirt and short styles. The festivals are not a time to blend in but to stand out from the crowd.
How to dress for a Concert in a NutShell
- Comfort is the watchword when it comes to choosing the appropriate clothing for concerts.
- Pay attention to the type of concert and dress appropriately for it.
- Most concerts require that you stand for long hours. Therefore it is important that your footwear be of high quality and very comfortable.
- When it comes to dressing for concerts try as much as possible to be prepared for all kinds of weather. Bring in a light jacket for the cold making sure that your inner clothing is comfortable in case the weather gets hot.
- Avoid wearing a plaid shirt when you are going to a concert. Wearing plaid shirts are too popular with concerts.
Final word
Here you have it, our own take on what we think is appropriate for major concerts. This is by no means an exhaustive guide as to what you can wear to any kind of concert. Just take it as a base to which you can build up the appropriate outfit for any concert. If you have any other ideas and outfit combination you think we missed please drop a comment below.

Hel Your Cycle dhiska Halkan
Dooro goolka hoose ee wareegga kartoo iyo leenahay talooyinka.
If you're looking for exogenous Human Growth Hormone online, you'll probably come across the term HGH 191aa.
And you're probably asking yourself—what does it mean?
This form of growth hormone is essentially the same as what your body produces naturally.
Taa waxaa ka duwan, the 192aa form is not, which is why side effects are more common, as your body rejects it.
Laakiin xusuuso:
That doesn't mean that 191aa forms are safe to use—they can still bring side effects. Ma aha oo kaliya in, but they are highly counterfeited.
Below, we cover this form of growth hormone, as well as ways that you can boost your HGH levels without risking adverse effects.Iibso HGH-X2 online halkan.
miisaanka qaadaan
Loss Fat
Table of Contents
As we said above, HGH 191aa is structurally identical to the growth hormone that your body produces naturally.
But when bodybuilders purchase this product, they do so in hopes of receiving an exogenous form that allows them to take higher amounts.
You might be wondering why we said "hope."
Here's the thing:
Online steroid markets are saturated with fake products, and although Human Growth Hormone isn't a steroid, it's still a performance enhancer sought after by many. And it's probably the most counterfeited of them all.
Consider this:
There's probably more fake growth hormone on the market than real product.
Sidaas, whether an athlete is purchasing HGH 191aa gray tops, dushooda buluug, or black tops, they can never know just how real they are.
Sababtan awgeed, we recommend natural alternatives, which we cover later.
People who are still determined to purchase growth hormone online will come across a lot of pointers to increase their chances of success.
Waayo, mid, experienced HGH-users do not recommend purchasing from websites that offer PayPal — these are definitely fake.
Suppliers that offer encryption are said to be the best bet.
Outside of this conventional wisdom, the only thing a buyer can really do is search bodybuilding forums for the most consistent and reliable sellers.
Here are some common brands a buyer will come across:
Laakiin xusuuso:
Most of the growth hormone offered online is fake, and many suppliers will label these fake products with the above brands.
Dhammaadka maalinta, it's really not worth the risk, especially considering the side effects that even come with pure HGH use.
Most bodybuilders claim that HGH 191aa cycles are at least 8 in 12 todobaad dheer, with many suggesting 16 for the best results.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, many believe that true anabolic growth can only be achieved using cycles of 6 months or longer.
Doses for bodybuilding are commonly in the range of 6 in 8 iu's daily for males and 3 in 4 iu's per day for females.
Dabcan, with these beneficial anabolic effects come adverse effects.
Although the HGH 191aa side effects list might not be as long as those that come with anabolic steroids, they can be quite serious.
Kuwaas waxaa ka mid:
Given the severity of some of these effects, we suggest natural alternatives.
CrazyBulk promotes HGH-X2 as a natural alternative to exogenous forms of growth hormone that can provide benefits in the form of size, mass caatada, iyo dib u soo kabashada.
They claim that it is a releaser of somatropin 191aa, essentially acting on your body's natural biology to release growth hormone.
This is the opposite of using exogenous forms, where you're pouring in an excessive amount.
CrazyBulk guarantees that you'll see stimulation of muscle growth, increased protein creation, and a more efficient use of your body fat. And all of these results are guaranteed to come within 30 maalmood no side effects.
You'll never find these kinds of guarantees when you purchase other forms of growth hormone, including 191aa and the HGH 176-191 peptide.
But customer satisfaction is everything, so what are other people saying about it? Take a look at the reviews so far:
"faa'iiday 4 lbs of muscle, luma baruurta, increase of 20lbs in bench. One-inch increase in chest size and arm size, 2-inch increase in leg size."
"wax soo saarka Great. Very reliable and effective."
It's also great for those looking to harness the therapeutic value of growth hormone:
"I am not a body builder, I am an older fellow with arthritis and several 'weather joints'. HGH-X2 has reduced my arthritis pain to almost nil allowing me to move with much more freedom."
To give you more incentive to go the natural route, CrazyBulk also offers some great perks and promotions. Kuwaas waxaa ka mid:
There really is no reason to waste your money on HGH 191aa.
With the amount of fake products out there, combined with the potential for side effects, it's almost a guaranteed waste of time and money.
Now look at the natural alternative:
CrazyBulk offers guarantees for HGH-X2 that only a company completely confident in their product would. Ma aha oo kaliya in, but it's completely natural and doesn't put your health in danger.
If you have respect for your bodybuilding, you probably have respect for your body as well. And that's why products like these are ideal — they can give you great results without putting your health on the line.

How Much Time Should Planning Take?
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable. — Seneca
Once in a while a client avoids planning on the ground that it takes too much time. They'd much rather dive right in and spend that time getting some of their work done, instead of reviewing goals, choosing priorities, and making lists.
How much time should planning take? Less time than anything else you do in your work. Like tooth-brushing, planning takes very little time and pays big dividends for the small increments of time and effort invested.
Good planning requires just two percent of your time, divided between two types of plans.
First, one percent of each day will be used to plan the following day. Before finishing work for the day, evaluate the following day. Choose three tasks that contribute to your larger goals, and work on those tasks first thing the next day. That one percent of time (about five minutes of an eight-hour day) spent planning tomorrow's work will pay off beautifully in real progress on the things that matter most.
Then, devote another one percent to longer-range planning. Arrange a half-day planning retreat every quarter, so that you can weigh your progress and adjust your focus. This will prevent unproductive drifting.
Finally, use another half day (for a total of two and a half days out of a 240-day work year) to make your annual plan.
Remember that frantic activity does not equal productivity; in fact, productivity thrives on calm and considered action. Invest just two percent of your time – just five minutes a day and two and a half days each year – and watch the productivity returns pour in.
Why Tasks Hang On – Three Productivity Traps to Avoid
Take a look at your to-do list. Are there things that have been lurking there for weeks, maybe months? How do you feel when you think of those tenacious tasks? Tired? Discouraged?
You can get rid of those "Velcro jobs" faster if you know how they got to be clinging to your days in the first place.
There are three common reasons that tasks hang on.
1. As my father said, "You can always think of more things to do in a day than you can get done." Expecting yourself to accomplish everything that enters your mind just isn't realistic.
To avoid this trap, observe how long various tasks actually take. Try scheduling tasks in your calendar to give yourself a more realistic benchmark. If I have 10 hours of work to do, but only six hours available, something is going to go undone, at least for today. Recognize that on days when your calendar is full of appointments, you probably won't be able to accomplish a lot of other work. Be realistic in your expectations.
And if a task is non-essential, give it an expiration date. This prevents jobs from dragging on indefinitely.
As the philosopher William James observed, "there is nothing more fatiguing than the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."
I find that because I dream up new ideas nearly every day, I often have assigned more jobs to myself than I could ever possibly finish. If I haven't written that non-essential proposal or made that call within the deadline, I've learned to delete it. If it's really important to me, it will come back again. For now, I'll actually be more productive if I just let it go.
2. In his book The Procrastinator's Digest, a Concise Guide to Solving the Procrastination Puzzle, Timothy Pychyl, PhD defines procrastination as "a needless voluntary delay." Procrastination is a terrible productivity trap that keeps tasks hanging on, usually the least pleasant ones.
One strategy Dr. Pychyl recommends for moving past procrastination is to understand the costs of our procrastination and the benefits of acting without delay. Each day, do the least palatable job first. Then, the rest of the day looks brighter, and you are unburdened by the costs of procrastination on those unpleasant jobs.
3. If your goals and objectives aren't clear, there's no good way to know which tasks are most important. When everything looks like it has equal weight, important things are bound to drag on.
As I teach in my Plan to Thrive workshop, the solution is to make a clear and compelling plan that really suits you and your business. This will help you sort out the really essential jobs from the "nice-to-have" ones.
Did you know that people routinely over-estimate what they can accomplish in one year, and also wildly under-estimate what they can do in three to five years? Think about it: if you're like most people, what you're doing today is something you could hardly have dreamed of just a few years ago. A clear and compelling plan can help you to be both realistic and ambitious about the tasks you really want to accomplish.

Update: In-box zero
Back in June I pledged to achieve in-box zero by the first day of autumn, so I owe you, dear readers, an update.
How did I do? In a word: busted.
I managed to keep up with most everything that came in during the past three months, but the backlog is a mere 10 percent smaller than it was. My 500+ message in-box has been whittled to just under 450.
Two points need to be made as I consider my failure to live up to my plan. First (and I think it was Merlin Mann who first said this), before you get good, you have to stop sucking. I did succeed in not sucking. I kept up with incoming mail. That alone is a habit worth latching onto and nurturing for all its worth.
Second, to be fair I had some dire family issues that intervened. Entrepreneurs need to be good bosses to themselves, remembering that we must sometimes cut ourselves some slack. I had some understandable reasons for missing my goal.
So, what have I learned so far?
- In-box zero is an illusive goal. It's really hard to get there and stay there.
- Even in tough times, I did better than stay even. I made progress. Good for me.
- I really want to reach this goal. I will keep working at it.
The modern work world throws more stuff at us than we can comfortably handle. Those of us who experiment with new ideas in organization and distill others' productivity prescriptions down for your easy digestion, we'll continue to seek new ways for all of us to keep up with what really matters and let go of what isn't important.
Have you tried to achieve an empty email in-box? Tell me about it. And if you've found a brilliant way to make it happen, definitely tell me about it. There are thousands of us who are dying to know!
In-Box Zero
Remember merit badges, those embroidered circles used to mark achievement for Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts? Now there is a company that makes merits badges for grown-ups, and there's one I desperately want to earn: In-Box Zero.
My goal of an empty email in-box is more elusive than live tech support. I crossed into the new year on 1/1/10 with an empty in-box and a zero credit card balance. The credit cards are still paid off, but the in-box currently houses over 500 messages.
I know what's there. It's not that I haven't taken in the content of those 500 messages; I have. Some are offers I wanted to think about, like a class I wanted to attend but wasn't sure I'd have time for. (I didn't.) Some are newsletters I haven't read (and probably never will.) Some are threads of complicated conversations involving several people, conversations in which I am not an active participant but was copied on the messages because someone thought I might be able to contribute or might need to know.
I receive between 80 and 100 emails each day, which based on my non-scientific observations of business people, is about average. I deal promptly with the vast majority. I respond and delete, or I file for later action, or I file for reference. Still, that 3 or 4 percent that I don't move out of the inbox immediately begins to accumulate, until by mid-year I'm looking at a 500-message surplus. A quick calculation indicated that if I could deal with just three more messages each day, I could have kept the message count to nil. But three more was too many.
The goal of in-box zero is a great goal, but I know that I'm not the only one who struggles with it. How do I know? Two ways: I've worked with clients who've had tens of thousands of inbox messages they needed to clean out. And whenever someone reaches inbox zero, they're apt to crow about it. Just this week author and business guru Tim Sanders posted a screen shot of his empty inbox. That's a measure of how difficult it is to achieve.
Still, I remember how great it felt to have my computer desktop as well-ordered as my physical desktop. I'd like to get back to that happy state. And the causes of my email clutter are the very same things that cause my clients' physical clutter: deferred decisions, being unclear about what the next action should be, and keeping things I don't need.
So here's my mid-year resolution: I'm going to return to inbox zero by the first day of autumn. That means dealing with an extra 5 or 6 messages a day for the next 3 months.
- I will unsubscribe from newsletters I don't read; I've already canceled three.
- I'll make time each week to review those tempting offers and make a firm decision about whether or not I'll accept them, then either delete the email or sign up and delete.
- I'll make time to review any long conversations in which I'm just copied, and either participate or bow out.
And I'll do the work required to keep the email from accumulating again. Check back to see my progress toward my goal. And if you'd like to join in with a goal of earning your own In-Box Zero badge, state your intention by leaving a comment here.
Want to get organized for business? This class can help.
Tired of an overflowing in-box? Would you like to be better organized? Want to manage your time, paper, and energy, and have a lot more fun doing it? There's a class that focuses on the skills and tools you need to banish disorganization in your office.
I'll be teaching "Organize Your Business Life" at College of San Mateo on Saturday, May 15.

What are your biggest office organizing challenges? Time? Paper? Setting priorities? E-mail? Let me know!
Time Myth: "busy people are more productive"
Ready for a tough assignment? The next time you feel overwhelmed because you have too much to do, slow down.
This is not easy. It is a natural tendency to rush through our work when we feel short of time, but in the end it doesn't help. That's because busy-ness is not the same thing as productivity.
Our goal is not to do the most things, but to do the most important things.
The next time you feel really rushed, stop and take stock of all you have to do. Give yourself a full minute to take it in. Think about what really is the most important thing for you to move forward. Then do that one thing.
At the end of the day, you'll find that the discipline of moving mindfully through your tasks, rather than racing frantically through them, allows you to get more of the important things done while feeling less stressed and more in control.
Are professional organizers perfectly organized?
This recent news from my organizing colleague Margaret Pearson Pinkham, who specializes in working with chronically disorganized clients in Sonoma County, CA:
I went to sign up for the Spring season of NSGCD teleclasses and guess what? I had waited too long and the class on Procrastination was FULL!
Occasionally someone will ask me whether I, a certified professional organizer, am perfectly organized. Does a doctor get the flu? Has a horse trainer ever been bitten? Can good mechanics suffer an automotive breakdown?
Here's the truth: we all are sometimes overwhelmed with all the stuff that comes at us. I know what it means to be late, to feel disorganized, to procrastinate, and to lose things — all from personal experience.
In fact, I would beware of any professional who has not faced and conquered their own hurdles. Who is more likely to help me, the personal trainer who has healed from their own tweaky knee or bad back, or the one who has found fitness a breeze from day one?
I am always on the lookout for new and better ways to address the challenges of modern life. First, I form the habits that make organization possible, including making a clear and compelling plan, recognizing what I need to capture and how to let go of the rest, and the discipline of actually doing the work. Then I look for whatever tools can make it easier for me to do the job.
And because there is no one solution that works best for everyone, I also look for whatever tools may help YOU do the job, too.
What organizing, time management, and productivity issues give you a hard time? What hurdles would you most like to get over?
Join the National Day of Unplugging March 19 & 20
One complaint that I hear popping up more and more frequently, a habit crying out for change, is the negative intrusion of technology into our lives.
I'm not talking about the miracle of GPS, which guides me directly to my destination in a strange city after dark. Or online chats that allow me to hold regular meetings with colleagues in other states and other countries. Or my iPhone, which allows me to search for critical information while I'm away from my office. But for every benefit that technology brings, there is also a possibility for that same technology to crowd out things that matter more — nurturing friendships, time to think, reconnecting with nature, enjoying an uninterrupted meal. Some complain that they can't converse with a friend without that person giving half their attention to tweeting on their smart phone. Others lament that they can never really relax, since email interrupts their evenings and weekends now.
Enter the National Day of Unplugging, from sundown tonight until sundown tomorrow. An invention of the Reboot crew as part of its Sabbath Manifesto, National Day of Unplugging is a step toward creating a less anxious and more meaningful life in the midst of daily stress.
The thoughtful people at Sabbath Manifesto emphasize that their effort is not about following someone else's rules for how to use your time. Rather, it is an attempt to recover ancient traditions that create helpful boundaries, protecting meaningful things in our lives.
If technology has crept into larger and longer parts of your life, if you're connected so much you no longer notice the distraction, if technology has become your drug of choice, or if you'd just like to shake up your technology habits a bit, join the National Day of Unplugging.
Beginning tonight, make other plans. Devote the whole day to face-to-face relationships. Write a letter. Take a walk. Daydream. See you on Sunday!
Need a Net Nanny? Rescue Time Provides the Loving Discipline.
How do you waste time at your computer? Are you an obsessive email-checker? Do you while away hours playing solitaire or backgammon? Are your achievements in Farmville and Mafia Wars huge compared to your achievements in the real world? Are you a connoisseur of funny pet videos on YouTube?
With temptation never more than one little mouse click away, our best productive plans can easily be derailed. I can always divert myself from work that is difficult or tedious by clicking over to something amusing (I'm a solitaire and backgammon girl, myself.) Even when I'm not trying to avoid work, it's easy to be drawn from one site by a link, that leads me to another interesting link, that leads to…. Day's over and nothing's accomplished.
Did you ever wish for something that would help to keep you on track, a sort of nanny to remind you of what you should be doing right now? Enter Rescue Time. Rescue Time bills itself as time management, productivity, and project tracking software. Running in the background on your computer, it's basic function is to track what you're spending time on – business, email, social networking, meetings and phone calls, and so on.
Time Rescue provides pre-assigned categories of activities, which are surprisingly easy to customize, allowing you to change the productivity ranking ("Being on twitter is required for my job – I'm the social networking guru, honest!") and fine tune the reporting.
One feature of Rescue Time that can be especially helpful is the Focus Time tool. If I need to write without interruption for 30 minutes, I tell Rescue Time to put me on Focus Time, which means it will block any category that I have rated above a certain level of distraction. If I try to leave my work and open a browser window on facebook.com, which I have rated as "very distracting", the browser window will roll over to Rescue Time, with a reminder of why the site is blocked for me and, just in case I really need to look at facebook right now, a message detailing how I can unblock it.
If you are motivated by upholding your personal best, you'll probably enjoy checking your Rescue Time stats and making sure you haven't dropped below your average, or the score of the average Rescue Time user.
Of course, Rescue Time can't enforce productive habits against your will. What it can do is to helpfully remind you of your intentions if you should falter for a moment and provide feedback about how well you're sticking to your goals. And when it comes to forming good time management habits, that's a lot of help.
The basic Rescue Time application is free.
Five steps for ending "tolerations"
I call them "tolerations" – those little irritants we hardly notice. Maybe it's something small, like a sticking wheel on a desk chair. Maybe it's something you try to ignore because you feel you can't change it, like a noisy neighbor. It could be your life-long habit, such as piling your papers rather than filing them, making your desk feel like a barricade.
Whatever our tolerations are, they act like potholes in our path. They slow us down and make the journey much less pleasant than it needs to be.
Uncovering and addressing our tolerations can free up huge amounts of time and energy.
Here's an exercise that I use to uncover and eliminate those energy-sapping tolerations:
- Make a list of anything that you may be tolerating, putting up with, overlooking – anything that bothers you or drags you down at work. These could be incomplete tasks, other people's behavior, equipment and tools, frustrations, problems, or even your own behavior.
- Choose one to work on. (This is where a coach can be especially beneficial, helping you determine whether this is the time for small steps or bigger challenges, and what is the best focus for you right now.)
- Consider this toleration. How long have you had it? What do you know of its origin? How big is its impact now? What would be your payoff if you were to eliminate this toleration?
- What do you want to do with this toleration? You may know immediately how to get rid of it. If not, brainstorm several steps you could take to address your chosen toleration.
- Take action now.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the increased room in your office, your schedule, or your mind!
What have you been tolerating? Are you ready to get rid of it now? Leave a comment here.

Marvel Comics have a treat in store for fans who are interested in what happens with General Leia's Rebellion right after they escaped Kylo Ren's clutches in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It turns out, they won't have to wait until J.J. Abrams' Episode IX as Poe Dameron #26 picks up right after Rian Johnson's big finale.
The story, out April 18 by writer Charles Soule and artist Angel Unzueta, depicts Poe, Finn and Rey discussing their escape and also, the casualties that this new resistance against the First Order has endured. Poe is clearly referencing the losses of Han Solo and now, Luke Skywalker on Crait, wondering how things could have gone better.
RELATED: How Star Wars' Hamill Interprets The Last Jedi's Final Shot
Rey, however, urges him to let go of the past, while Finn tries to lighten the situation by taking shots at Poe's piloting abilities and his knack for crashing. It's a very tender moment and a rare one which finally unites all three as the future of the Rebellion, and more so, the new breed who's been tasked by Leia with bringing balance back to the galaxy.
Poe Dameron started in April 2016 and has since detailed the pilot's history, from birth to basically becoming the rogue Leia trusted to find the map to Luke back on Jaaku in The Force Awakens. As we see from these pages, despite the arduous journey thus far, the heroes are down but certainly not defeated.
RELATED: Star Wars: Yoda Rumored to Appear in Episode IX
Finn also seems to be warning Poe that Rey's his romantic territory, while Rey's simply concerned with Luke's famous lightsaber. Of course, this all acts as a fun piece of prologue to Episode IX when the First Order will come knocking once more, but this time with Kylo Ren as the Supreme Leader.
[vn_gallery name="PREVIEW: Star Wars: Poe Dameron #26" id="1301964"]
Available now digitally and on Blu-ray and DVD, writer/director Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi stars Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke, Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux, Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Lupita Nyong'o as Maz Kanata, Benicio Del Toro as 'DJ', Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico, Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, and the late Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa.
Episode IX is set to arrive in theaters on December 20, 2019. The movie will star Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren and Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron.

Pocket Jockey simulates those carnival games where you have to propel your horse down a via any manner of hammer-bopping, ball-rolling or water gun-squirting—only here, the idea is to actually jump up and down like a horse's gallop. A firm slap to your own hindquarters (riding crop optional) delivers an additional boost via accelerometer detection. If you still have questions on how this whole thing works, why not let two lovely and tech-savvy ladies demonstrate for you in video form. The scene is on a bed and it may involve assorted panting and gasping, but yeah, it's probably SFW.
If you're still with us, Pocket Jockey will run you 99 US cents in the App Store. [Pocket Jockey (iTunes Link)]

Or, if you'd like to see how a new Hyundai fits your life or just how it looks in the driveway, let us bring the vehicle to your home or place of work. This can be especially convenient for parents at home with children, as well as those who would prefer their test drive on familiar roads. Whichever you prefer can simply be set up with Hyundai Drive*(1),
, or by calling.

Published at Saturday, August 03rd, 2019 - 17:49:11 PM. Wedding Dresses. By Alberta Böhm.
Avoid dresses with flowing trail – Do not buy long dresses that have a flowing trail, as it will be ruined while walking on the sand. Dragging the long trail on the sand can ruin the dress and your look.
Opt for the right fabric – A lot of importance has to be given to choosing the right fabric for your summer beach wedding dress. As it will be warmer in summer, it will be a better option to opt for lightweight fabrics so that you will stay cool and comfortable on that special day. Dress made using light fabrics such as cotton eyelet, chiffon, Georgette, crepe, cotton organdy, voile and organza should be a better option for a wedding dress for the beach.

Introduction: A Head-scratcher
Back in 2012, Capitol Presence members, while working for the Federal Government, was put in charge of establishing an intranet – at the time there was no way to share information. Looking for a new challenge Roy accepted the task.
Chapter I: From frustration comes inspiration
Now in charge of the intranet for a 600 employee Super Office, Roy began looking for options and training on these options. With conferences and information mostly in areas banned from Federal travel – he took to online platforms for self-training.
With most of the content broad and difficult to follow, he began to create his own content – through lessons learned – and began teaching these to other Super Office's and power users. The first SharePoint working groups and Lunch and Learns were born.
Chapter II: A Push Becomes a Company
With detail after detail (Federal equivalent of a 'Temp' job) tags in an organization without tech positions, Roy was encouraged by colleagues to take his skills to the private sector.
What was once fear, because passion, and soon 4 fellow risk takers followed him into the unknown to start what is now Capitol Presence.
Chapter III: An Idea is Sparked
The private sector brought on awards and multiple solutions and organizations served with praise. A trend became clear however, that many companies relied on contractors to do the technical work – and then were left with little understanding of the technology they had spent a lot of money on.
Chapter IV: Online Academy is Born
After multiple business meetings with potential clients who had little understanding of cloud applications and SharePoint, the spark became a clear need. The training of intranets and cloud technologies – for those members who weren't developers but were instead admins, power users, entrepreneurs, or Federal Employees without a tech division.

Synchronizing Configurations Between Defense Orchestrator and Device
About Configuration Conflicts
On the Devices & Services page, you may see devices or services have the status "Synced," "Not Synced," or "Conflict Detected."
- When a device is Synced, the configuration on Defense Orchestrator and the configuration stored locally on the device are the same.
- When a device is Not Synced, the configuration stored in Defense Orchestrator was changed and it is now different that the configuration stored locally on the device.
- When a device has the status Conflict Detected, the configuration on the device was changed outside of Defense Orchestrator, and is now different than the configuration stored on Defense Orchestrator. Changes made to devices outside of Defense Orchestrator are called out-of-band changes.
When your device is Synced, your device is up to date. When your device is Not Synced you need to "deploy" the changes you made on Defense Orchestrator to the device to update its configuration. If the device is marked Conflict Detected, you need to decide if you want to keep the configuration stored on Defense Orchestrator, or the configuration stored on the device, to return the device configuration status to Synced.

A few months ago I wrote an article, "Traidcraft Needs Our Help", which explained that Traidcraft had been running at a trading loss for four consecutive years and was appealing to the Church and wider community for urgent support. I am now writing with some good news: Traidcraft reports that December sales were almost £1 million, which was a 24% increase on December 2014, and that December 2015 was the fourth consecutive month of growth. Let's hope that this growth in sales can be sustained throughout 2016. Ideas for promoting sales of Traidcraft goods in the circuit are always welcome.
Traidcraft have now launched the 'Let it Grow' Appeal to support their pioneering, life-changing work to fight poverty through trade and help families, social enterprises and entire communities to grow. Traidcraft has a particular mission to help smallholder farmers around the world. Smallholder farmers are responsible for over 70% of the world's food. Yet they make up 50% of the world's hungry people. Many small-scale farmers are vulnerable and marginalised, unable to invest in education, training or equipment to help them grow and thrive.
Rozina is a smallholder farmer in Bangladesh whose life has been transformed by a Traidcraft project. Before joining the project, Rozina regularly went without food, and lived in a flimsy bamboo shelter, sleeping on the floor. She and her family were trapped in a cycle of poverty. Agricultural growth is hugely important for communities like Rozina's. It reduces poverty directly by raising farm incomes, and indirectly through generating employment and reducing food insecurity. Through Traidcraft, Rozina is now able to grow tea on her land, which means that she is now able to provide for her family and community.

The energy sector has a pivotal role in this situation. Of special relevance is the Oil & Gas sector which generates highly fluctuating tax revenues, that represented around 30 to 40 percent of the government budget in the previous years (2006-2014), but reduced to a mere 18 percent in 2018. Moreover, PEMEX, the state's National Oil Company, who has been a cash cow for the government for years, now requires governmental support to perform its critical role for the Mexican economy.
The Power Sector represents another significant challenge for the central government. The national power utility CFE has a leverage ratio of 3,2x (March 2018) which limits its investment capacity and relies on the reimbursement of subsides that are being granted to households.
In contrast to these challenges, Mexico has proven to host one of the world's most attractive renewable energy resources and was able to contract renewable energy generation with prices as low as 19,7 USD per MWh and 17,8 USD per MWh for solar and wind power generation, respectively.
The objective of our event is to discuss how Mexico could use its world class renewable energy endowments to reduce subsidies and fossil fuel imports, as well as to build an industry that can complement the dependency on Oil & Gas exploitation and promote a more equitable economic growth that the government is pursuing. The outcome of our discussion shall subsidize the development of a more comprehensive study to propose a green New Deal for Mexico as strategy that can leverage the global technological and economic progress of the energy transition to inspire sustainable and equitable growth for the Mexican society.

There is a little line of pink, just at the horizon, when I first open my eyes. It peeks in at me through a small gap between the wall and the cloth covering the doorway, and I peek back. Mwashibukeni, I say to the sun, smiling and yawning at the same time. "Good morning!"
My name is Wilson, and I am 10 years old. My job is to fetch water.
I put on my shoes and leave the house quietly. There is a washstand around the corner, next to the open kitchen, and I go there to wash my face, then I use the toilet over behind Mwanzila's house. There is a toilet behind our house too, but it is smelly and slippery and I don't like it.
I pick up the pails for today's water and get ready for my walk. Sometimes I take just one, and carrying one is easy, but today I am also fetching for my mother's friend, Mrs. Nkwazi, so I need to carry two and use the wooden yoke. After I've grown a bit more, and my shoulders are wider, the yoke will fit better; for now it's awkward and it hurts a little, but it's better than carrying the pails by hand. And anyway, I like fetching for Mrs. Nkwazi because she has no husband or children, and she needs my help.
By now the sun is almost up. If I leave early enough, I can get to the well in Kikundi and home again while it is still morning. On school days, or days when we have mission church, I have to go later and the heat makes it very hard. "Today will be better," I say to myself, as I attach the pails to the yoke and position the yoke on my shoulders, shrugging to get it to sit more comfortably.
The cattleman says when I carry the yoke and the pails I sound like one of his cows with her bell, and that makes me laugh, but right now I'm trying hard to keep quiet. I don't want to wake anyone else in our compound, though already I hear sounds from the other houses. Mwanzila might already be awake, but I don't see her.
The sun is coming up as I leave. I walk slowly past the other houses and try not to sound like the cow with her bell. But soon I am out of earshot and can walk faster and it's okay to sing, which makes the time go more quickly. I count the songs while I sing and have sung seven, and repeated the one about the crows eating the corn because I like it best, when I come to the hill that I will go around to find the big path. This is where I usually see the cattleman. There is a baobab on the other side of the hill, and he sits under it, watching his cows. He isn't there every day, but when I round the hill this morning my heart lifts as I see him, sitting under his tree, leaning against the broad, grey trunk.
Mwapoleni shikulu, I say respectfully, "Hello grandfather." He nods to me, which means I can sit down, so I take off the yoke, almost dropping both of my pails in the process, and making a lot of noise. He shakes his head. "The cow with her bell," he says, but I smile because I know he is only teasing me.
"No, shikulu," I say, "It is the sound of men working." Now it's my turn to tease, because I am the one fetching water, and he is just sitting under a tree. The cattleman snorts, and before I sit I shake his hand to show there are no hard feelings. His skin is soft and warm and leathery, but his grip isn't as strong as it sometimes is.
The cattleman is alone today, as he is whenever I see him. I don't know his wife, and his sons have all gone away. One day I asked him why they left but he would only say: Indalama. "Money."
"Where have they gone?" I ask him today. "Did they go to Chongwe?" He doesn't answer. "My brother Daniel has gone to Chongwe. He went there to make money for us, just like your sons. Do you think your sons will see Daniel in Chongwe?" The cattleman doesn't say anything so I think maybe he doesn't know, and I decide not to ask him anything more.
We sit quietly together, watching the cattle, him with his old eyes and me with my young ones, and the sun climbs higher in the sky.
Mailo, I say. "I will see you tomorrow."
The cattleman shrugs. Mailo limbi, he says, "Perhaps tomorrow." But then he smiles at me, as if he really is my grandfather, and I am happy as I pick up my yoke and my pails. Just before the big path takes me out of sight, I turn and wave. He doesn't wave back, but maybe he can't see me from so far away. I wonder if I should rattle my pails, but I decide against it, and turn again and carry on my way.
It is mid-morning when I reach the well at Kikundi. There are several people ahead of me, and many more milling about, talking and gossiping. I recognize most of the them, including a girl about my age who I see there most days. Usually she stands to one side, away from the crowd, but today she is right beside the well, watching me as I wait my turn. When my pails are filled I have trouble getting them back on my yoke, and I see the girl smiling, amused at my struggle, and when I notice her smiling I get confused and I almost spill all the water I came to fetch. A woman my mother's age quickly steps in to help, making a disapproving sound with her tongue and waving off the girl who turns away, now embarrassed. But as I walk away, settling the now heavy yoke on my shoulders, the girl comes up behind me and walks along with me.
"I've seen you before," she says, and I nod. "I see you most days. You always come on your own."
"Because my brother is in Chongwe," I tell her.
"I have many brothers," she says. "They carry all our water, but I could help carry yours."
I don't reply, but I put down my yoke and my pails. She rearranges the cloth dukhu on her head, creating a little fabric ring that will help her balance the pail that she picks up. I carry the other in one hand and balance the empty yoke on my other shoulder. It's a bit awkward but I tell her how much easier it is, and this time when she smiles I don't feel confused at all.
Without the weight of the pails, the metal rings at the ends of the yoke make a clanging sound. "It sounds like a bell," she says, so I tell her about the cattleman and how he teases me. She laughs, so I laugh too.

She tells me her name is Grace and asks me where I live. I tell her that I live near Mpanga. "But before we go there I have to stop to see Mrs. Nkwazi." I explain that she is my mother's friend, and that some of this water is for her.
"Why don't you have a well in Mpanga?" she asks. "Kikundi is too far to walk every day." I tell her that we do have a well, but I don't tell her about the older boys that hang around it. I don't tell her that Daniel used to come with me, before he left to make money for us, or that he threatened the boys one day after they threw stones at me. I just tell her that the water is better from the well in Kikundi.
"It's true, our water is good," she says, and when she says that I realize that with the heat of the day and the dust from the path, she is probably thirsty. I ask her if she would like to stop for a drink, but she says no, that we should go on to see Mrs. Nkwazi, and in truth I know it isn't much farther. A few minutes later a small compound of three or four houses appears a short way off the path.
Mwapoleni mama, I call to the tall, stately woman cooking nshima in the outdoor kitchen of the first house. "Good morning, Mrs. Nkwazi."
"Good morning, Wilson," she replies, coming over to us, and then, smiling at Grace, she asks, "Who is your helper this morning?" I introduce them and we set down our pails of water. I carry one over to her kitchen, climbing on a stool and emptying the contents into the drum, replacing the lid carefully to keep out dirt and the everywhere-pests Mrs. Nkwazi complains about.
"Sit down for some tea," she says, and then asks me if we would like something to eat. She knows the answer, but she is kind and always asks. We sit with her and she gives us each a small plate of nshima with some cooked chicken. She asks Grace many questions, like the teachers at school do. I have known Mrs. Nkwazi my whole life, but I don't talk with her the way Grace does: answering all her questions and then carrying on, telling her many things that she didn't even ask about. Mrs. Nkwazi nods and smiles, encouraging, and occasionally even laughs. I feel proud as I sit quietly, listening to the two of them.
As we prepare to leave, Mrs. Nkwazi gives me some food to take home, and then hands me a small flower — bright red and very beautiful. "This is for my sister," she says, and I nod, knowing that she means my mother.
"Go straight, now, and be careful" she says. "Watch the too-hot sun." I clasp her hand briefly and then turn to go, Grace beside me, the remaining full pail on her head, and the yoke across my shoulders with the empty pail dangling from one end.
It's not far now to my home on the other side of Mpanga. When we're still a little way from the houses of the village, we come upon a large enclosure marked by short stone walls, about a stone's throw off to the right of the path. There is an enormous jacaranda tree in one corner, it's blossoms a deep lavender as we near the end of the dry season. We put down our pails and yoke, and I walk to the opposite corner of the enclosure, stopping in front of a small pile of stones. Grace follows, stopping beside me and watching as I put the flower from Mrs. Nkwazi on the ground at the base of the pile.
"That flower was for your mother," Grace protests.
"Yes," I answer. The stones were originally in the shape of a cross, placed there by the donna from the mission church, but I have gathered them together, preferring the shape of the little mound I have created. I tend to them now, placing and replacing the ones that have tumbled. Grace retreats to the shade of the jacaranda, and soon afterwards I join her, sitting on the ground beside her.
"Are you going to cry now?" she asks, but I shake my head. "No," I say. "Not now."
We don't say anything more, and after a few minutes we gather up our pails and the yoke and continue on our way in silence, past the houses in Mpanga, until we get to the compound where my house is. We pass Mwanzila's house, and the next one is mine.
My house is small but very solid, made of mud brick, and is about 10 feet square, with a door in the middle, and a thatched roof that I work hard to keep so that it doesn't leak. A small open kitchen is to the side of the house and in the kitchen is a table made of dark wood that my mother got from her mother. Beside the table is a large drum, raised from the floor, that sits on a plastic crate. Putting aside the yoke and my empty pail, I take the full one from Grace, and pour the water into the drum.
"I can make tea," I offer, but Grace says no.
She pulls aside the cloth that covers the doorway of my house and pokes her head inside.
"Where is everybody?" she asks, but I don't reply. My mother is in the graveyard and Daniel has gone to Chongwe.
"You are alone?" she asks, and I nod.
"Please," I say, and I beg her not to tell anyone. Mwanzila and the others in my compound know, but the teachers at school and the donna from the mission church all think Daniel is still with me.
Grace stands looking at me, hands on her hips, her head cocked to one side. After considering a moment she looks up, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hand.
"I will see you next time at the well," she says. "Perhaps tomorrow?"
Mailo limbi, I agree. "Perhaps tomorrow."

Taking time out from her busy schedule of teaching and writing, I caught up with Nancy Gaffield and asked her about the impact turning her cycle of poems, Tokaido Road, into a libretto has had on her work.
What impact has creating a libretto from your cycle of poems had on the poems themselves ?
I was thinking about this, even before you asked the question. When you write, you are always aware that your work is going to be released into the world and become its own entity, although you're not often mindful of this until you see a review! So you have no control over people or their responses to your work. But now I see people quoting my lines on Twitter! People are reading them in so many ways, and the poems take on a life of their own. Still, it's surprising! Not negative; just surprising. Ownership is much more collective. I think Nicola now knows my poems better than I do…
What was your experience of working on the opera with Nicola LeFanu ?
Honestly – what I love is the collaboration; it's why I agreed to the project in the first place, the thing that made it attractive. Mostly, as a poet, you work alone. I couldn't have found anyone better to work with; she has a huge amount of experience and has worked with poets before. I've seen her in masterclasses and working with young people – she's a fantastic teacher. She took on a kind of mentoring role – she knows the whole process better than I, and we worked really well together.
We met in August 2012 to sketch things out; we talked about ideas, how we saw the piece. I went away and tried to work up the libretto – it was harder than I expected. I eventually worked up seven drafts! We met again in the spring of 2013, and I also met the director [Caroline Clegg], who gave me some practical advice which focused the mind. Nicola came down to Canterbury, and we worked together on one of the later drafts – we found a structure, including what we called 'sandwich scenes,' getting it shaped into a dramatic performance. Then I knew exactly what I needed to do to finish it off.
I was really fighting against myself; as a poet, I want things to be ambiguous, I want that suggestiveness. I knew there was a narrative in the poems – suddenly, I was having to pull the narrative out. I did this using the three characters – Hiro, Mariko, Kikuyo – by taking the poems they were in, lifting out the characters and their story, and the narrative began to emerge. Nicola really helped with this process too.
Opera really requires that dramatic narrative.
It does; and it was implicit in the poems, but it needed drawing out for the opera. I thought to myself: ''Just accept you have to do the Narrative Thing!''
What new aspects will realising the poems as chamber opera bring to the poems themselves?
When I first began the work, I was interested in each woodblock print as an art object, so some of the poems include description so that readers might imagine the scene depicted even without seeing the print. But as I went along, I began 'reading backwards'—not simply writing about them, but writing around them, telling their story in time, in place. So the poems started with observation of an object (an individual print), but then multiple poetic interpretations arose, sometimes not even grounded in the print. The opera will give rise to something else again. The object (the print) becomes destabilized, and multiple worlds are made by all those who take part–creators, performers, audience. I love that!
From whence did the original inspiration for the cycle of poems come ?
In 2008, I went on a business trip for the University to Japan, and stayed on in Kyoto afterwards for a long weekend; I took a room in a traditional Japanese inn; my room surrounded a private garden and included kaiseki ryori (traditional multi-course seasonal foods) served in the tatami room; I had a beautiful four days in which to explore and to write. I wrote some sonnets, four of which became my first published poems. I was also, at the time, doing an MA in Creative Writing at the University, for which a substantial sequence of work was needed. I came up with the idea of the woodblock prints, the prints in themselves being a serial praxis on which a series of poems could be based. Once I started, I knew that was it – I was away! I also knew that I would continue and finish off the series after I had finished the course. The MA was brilliant; had I not been doing that, I probably wouldn't have had the idea.
The Tokaido Road project is very much a collaborative venture, embracing music, dance, mime and visual art alongside your poems – has this had an effect on the way you or others might now perceive or understand the poems ?
I love the interdisciplinary and experimental approach of bringing all the arts together—drama, music, fine art, dance, poetry, multi-media. In my own small way, I feel like I'm part of something larger—a kind of Black Mountain College experience where poets like Charles Olson worked with dancers like Merce Cunningham and musicians like John Cage. Although that college only existed for about 20 years, the people who came out of it were changed in major ways. Certainly this experience for me has been transformative.
How do you see your role as a poet, in light of the cross-cultural nature of the cycle; are you commenting on / looking at the paintings with Western eyes, or endeavouring to bring cultural perceptions / values / meanings from East to West ?
In some poems it is me, commenting as a Westerner, for example, Maisaka, or Minakuchi. I talk about the ambivalent feelings one has when living in a foreign place. In 1979, when I went to live in Japan, there were few Westerners. I was very conscious of being an outsider. But gradually I began to feel at home there—as Goyu says 'you are never more at home than when you are here'. Some of the poems do endeavour to bring Japanese ideas, even language, in. There are bits of myth, such as in Ōiso or Numazu, which talks about the man wearing a mask on his mask – it's a Kabuki mask, but I wanted it to have other associations too. As a poet, I took some liberties.
So you're less interpreting them than you are bringing out specific cultural instances ?
Yes; but it can be risky when a Westerner tries to write about the East; people think they are appropriating it. It's a difficult balance. I've tried to absorb Japanese aesthetics into my work by borrowing the scenery, and being respectful. When I've spoken to others both here and in Japan, they seem to think that I got the balance right.

THREE people lost their lives as winds of up to 80mph battered the city and beyond in what forecasters have called the worst storms for 17 years.
HGV driver Kris Doran, 49, of Moston, was killed when her lorry was blown off the A629 bypass in Skipton, in North Yorkshire, crashing through the barrier and falling 30 feet, at around noon. The vehicle landed upside down, part-way in a canal.
Kris was returning home after sending her partner of 17 years, Tricia, a text message saying: "It's bad out here love. I'm on my way home."
The couple had just booked a holiday together and were due to be married in a civil partnership in July.
Tricia, 45, said: "I watched her go out of the door at about 6.20am that morning. She was wearing a big high visibility coat and she rubbed her hands together because of the cold.
"She waved at me from the gate and then got into her car and flashed her indicators twice, like she did every morning. Then she drove to work to pick up her wagon.
"She was a kind, gentle person. If I had known what was going to happen on Thursday, I would never have let her go."
Kris worked for Manchester Paper Box in Cheadle Heath and had been driving HGVs for 10 years.
Tricia added: "Kris loved driving. She went all over the country with her job.
"She was like a walking map. She was a very good driver too, and she was meticulous about her truck.
"She was transporting a load of cardboard boxes on the day she died. Everyone knew the weather was going to be bad. Those boxes could have waited for another day.
"She used to always text me when she stopped for a break. When she didn't text me that afternoon, I just knew something bad had happened.
"She never failed to phone or text me. We kept in touch all day.
"I can't believe what's happened. It's just too much to take in."
Also killed by the high wind was John Cook, 62, of Salford, who died after being blown into a metal shutter by the wind after he parked his van at an industrial estate in North Street, Strangeways.
It is believed he hit his head on the ground as he fell and was pronounced dead at the scene after the incident, which happened at about 2pm.
Mr Cook, one of the leading lights in the amateur football scene, was chairman of the Eccles Sunday League and well known as a referee, assessor, and administrator for 30 years.
A special procedures investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding this incident. The health and safety executive has also been informed.
- A WOMAN who was seriously injured in the storms died in hospital of her injuries on Tuesday.
The 60-year-old from Cheetham Hill suffered serious head injuries when she was blown over outside Starbucks cafe in the city centre. Police have not released her identity
She was taken to the Manchester Royal Infirmary where she was treated for her injuries but died today.
There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and the case will now be passed to the coroner.
- A WOMAN and her father had a narrow escape when a huge two tonne tree was blown into the back of their house, coming to rest on their roof.
But Karen Mogridge, of Blairhall Avenue, Moston, then had another shock when she was initially told it would be a month before anyone could come out to look at her council property.
In the end contractors came to remove the tree, whose branches had embedded themselves in the roof, within 24 hours - on the recommendation of the fire service and council engineers.
Speaking before the tree was removed, station commander Tony Bryan told the Advertiser: "It must have been a couple of tonnes in weight, but the occupants of the house were told they wouldn't get any assistance until February. They either got the wrong person or they don't know the severity of the incident."
Karen was hanging up washing in the upstairs bedroom on Thursday afternoon when she spotted the tree listing menacingly in gale force winds.
"The fence had blown down and I looked out of the kids' bedroom window only to see the trunk moving back and forth," Karen said.
"My dad was doing the crossword sitting with his back to the window. We had gone down the far end of next door's living room and then both houses just shook.
"We rang the housing and they said that on 20 February somebody will come and have a look at it. I know the lady on the phone must have been inundated with calls but I couldn't get her to understand."
She added that they had first reported worries to the council about the location of the tree in relation to their house five years ago but had had an ongoing battle trying to get it cut down.
She said: "We have been asking the council for about five years to have the tree pruned, but each time it's down to budgets."
A spokesman for Manchester City Council said: "We can't confirm at this stage whether the matter was reported. We are currently investigating and will be talking to the family to determine the facts."
- SHOPPERS had to be turned away from Asda's Eastlands store after part of the store's roof was blown off in Thursday's high winds.
The roundabout to access the main car park was closed off after polycarbonate panels started to come off at one of the entrances.
Store manager Steve Quinlan closed the store shortly after 1pm on safety grounds and it was still closed two hours later and praised the "fantastic" response of staff and police, who helped to secure the area and co-ordinate traffic out of the car park.
He said: "We took the decision jointly with the police. It's very dangerous out there."
Cllr Mick Loughman was an eyewitness.
He said: "I've just watched about three sheets of the plastic corrugated sheeting come off the roof."
Nearby in Beswick Precinct there was also significant debris including a collapsed bus shelter.
A number of trees were blown down in Openshaw Park around the Greenside Street area.
One resident said: "It looks terrible - the police have been here and the park people. I've lived round the park for a few years but this storm is really bad."
- PUPILS across north east Manchester had to be sent home after their school took a battering from the wind.
Wright Robinson High, on Abbey Hey lane, Gorton, was closed because of damage to its roof.
Pupils at St Joseph's RC Primary School, on Richmond Grove, were moved after over fears about the safety of the building facing it.
The children were moved out of the main school building and into the school nursery building which on the other side of the school site.
Parents picking up their children had to use the nursery entrance into the school on Daisybank Road.
Other schools closed included Lily Lane Junior School, on Kenyon Lane, Moston, Melland High School, on Holmcroft Road, Gorton, Armitage CofE Primary School, on Rostron Avenue, Ardwick, and St Richard's RC Primary School, on Wilpshire Avenue, Longsight.

The morning started out as some other. We got up. Got ready for work, the kids ready for school all of us left the house. When we left everything was calm and dry. A good-looking lawn all change when we came home that evening. I got a phone call from my daughter at 3:50. She was hysterical all I might get from what she was telling me is water everywhere. That course isn't what you need to hear damaged still miles away from being own home. I hung up with her after telling her to Go to his page outside and named the neighbor. He was inside a position come over and closed the water and calm our daughter down.
When my spouce and i arrived home we began my assessing the damage and immediately knew we needed to call the insurance company. Our agent came over immediately as well as were able to determine in which a pipe had "burst". After you had not completely burst but just have never known that looking at the water the home. The seal had actually ruptured causing the pipe to split apart.
With the water shut off we was able to purchase furnishings needed to create the condition. That was a simple, inexpensive fix however normal water cleanup the whole different story. Our insurance agent was on your ball and immediately called within a water restoration firm that's well noted for helping clients in this exact situation. They came in and we basically decided must relocate for your better involved in the week. This was personal choice not something we informed we to be able to do.
They began the repair with the removing of the carpet and padding that had gotten drenched. They then added fans and dehumidifiers into the house to allow base from the floors to dry before installation for this new ground. We decided it was best to also have the ceramic tile floor removed to prevent mold from setting in underneath the surface. They used a chemical solution on the sub floor and then were effective at start the drying step.
They inspected all from the electrical appliances and found that everything was in good working order. Much of our furniture had not been affected by the flooded area. The pieces that have been fabric we had cleaned by professional furniture cleaners and removed the wooden furniture and allowed it to dry in the spare room.
With the dehumidifiers they brought in, most in the wood moldings and drywall was salvaged. There was an issue with one patch of drywall in the corner that needed to replaced. The actual restoration company was qualified for replace that. We did hire a professional painter to may be found in after learn what was dry and our belongings were out of means drying to color.
It took a little less when compared to a full week and our home was back to normal. We learned a lot through stress sores of water restoration. Almost any keep it to the room with the majority of pipes closed during time when we're gone. Has actually started flip off the water when we go away for more than a night. Thankfully this happened when i was just gone for day time. Imagine how bad the damage would in order to if might have been allowed by sitting for 1 week. Water restoration professionals know what they are doing and can be called in no matter how big or small the flood in the home. It will save you money in over time preventing mold from being able to grow in your house.
