The Lady Bulldog soccer team kicked off its 2016 campaign with a win and ended its opening weekend with a third-place trophy at the Goddard Invitational in Roswell.
The Artesia girls shook off the inevitable first-game rust Friday afternoon against Portales, taking a 10 lead at the half and going on to defeat the Ramettes 5-1.
"It was a little rough," coach Tim Trentham said Saturday. "It was everybody's first game of the season, we're still in the feeling-out process, but we were well enough ready to be able to get a win in that one."
Senior Raina Wesson and junior Elisa Cardenas both logged a pair of goals in the opener, while eighth-grader Sadi Butler added one.
The Lady 'Dogs were able to identify a number of areas in need of fine-tuning following their match against Portales but had no time to address them before stepping out again Saturday morning against District 4-AAAAA foe Goddard.
"It's tough when you start the season with a tournament," said Trentham. "You don't really have time to adjust and work on things. Goddard is a pretty fast and aggressive team, and we just weren't ready for the pace of that."
The Lady Rockets compiled a 3-0 lead over Artesia by the break and would maintain it through the second half for the win.
"We had a better showing in the second half," said Trentham. "Last year at this tournament, they beat us 6-0, so that's a better start. They're a solid team that's been playing together for quite a while, so we're not too disappointed with that finish."
The Lady Bulldogs put the loss behind them and regrouped Saturday afternoon against Valencia. Despite showing signs of fatigue, Artesia was able to blank the Lady Jaguars 3-0, with Cardenas posting two goals and Wesson one.
"We played pretty well," said Trentham. "We might've done a little better, but everybody's legs were just shot by the end of three games in two days."
Overall, Trentham said he was pleased with the effort he saw from his athletes, particularly his untested goalies.
"We've got two really inexperienced keepers," he said, "so for what they did, just seeing growth from both of them over the course of the whole tournament, that was a good, shining moment for us.
"Our defense played pretty well. We had two new defenders playing real well together, so that was exciting. There are just the bits and pieces, of course, that you need to fix at the start of every season."
The Lady 'Dogs won't have much time for practice prior to their next road game Tuesday at 6 p.m. against Hobbs but will then have a week off before hosting their home opener at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30, against Ruidoso at the Mack Chase Athletic Complex.

Anyone with a passion for film is being invited to submit short films for an international microfilm festival to be held in October when Nottingham becomes the UK's Festival City.

Home > Hula Kai
Hula Kai is a powerful 55' teknicraft catamaran full of first-class comforts like individual theater style seating, new Bimini tops to provide plenty of shade on both top and bottom decks and scrumptious food. Ideal for snorkeling and ocean enthusiasts. Hula Kai ventures off the beaten path - speeding you to exotic locations along the South Kona coast for superior snorkeling and also offers night manta ray adventures.
We market and sell some tours as "Combination Tours" on the Big Island. Please keep in mind that as a general rule the differences between two tours bought as a "Combination Tour" instead of two individual tours that were purchased on an "A La Carte" basis normally has more to do with logistics than with pricing.
If you are coming to the "Big Island" of Hawaii on a cruise ship then you need to make sure you browse our cruise ship category before you make any reservations for activities during shore leave.
The Big Island of Hawaii has a number of different boats that offer snorkeling tours. Many of them cruise the coast off Kona down to Capt. Cook. Most of the boats offer morning and afternoon trips and one trip even offers "night snorkeling" to see the giant Manta Rays.
Sunset Sails off the coast of the Big Island of Hawaii provide the ultimate in relaxation. The beauty of the ocean and the colors of the sunset provide a remarkable experience to conclude your Hawaiian day.
Watersports are the perfect Hawaii activity for anyone young or old! For excitement, choose the "touch and go." On the way down, instead of just reeling you onto the boat they let you linger awhile above the ocean surface - just before they dunk you.

How smoothly does your billing office operate? Do you know exactly where all the EOB's are kept? Can you measure the productivity of your staff? How does your accounts receivable (A/R) look? These are just a few of the questions I routinely ask billing office managers and am surprised at the number that can't provide answers.
If you're considering revamping your billing office consider some of these suggestions:
1. Run a complete accounts receivable aging report. What percentage of the total money is 120 days and older? The percentage should be very small as compared to the total A/R. The report should be run to encompass everything up to the date you run the report. If 20% of the practice's money is 120 days or older, you may be missing out on valuable reimbursement.
2. Divide the A/R by physician rather than insurance payer. This allows everyone to become familiar with different payers and their reimbursement rules. It also allows you to measure the productivity of your collectors. It's a good idea to switch the physicians around every six months to a year. This way you can see who is really working the accounts and if they exhibit the level of knowledge necessary in a billing office.
3. Streamline duties. Depending upon the size of the practice, try to have only one or two people posting charges and one or two people posting payments. It's easier to hold one or two people accountable than five or six.
4. Organize. Put EOB's in a readily-accessible place for your collectors to refer to when reviewing denied claims and filing secondary claims. Keep them in chronological order by date.
5. Place time limits on duties. Establish the turn-around time for posting charges and payments. The longer a claim waits to be filed, the longer it takes to get reimbursed for services rendered. Forty-eight (48) hours is usually an acceptable amount of time.
Change will be difficult for staff at first if you're implementing these never-before tried procedures but once the changes are implemented, they will be grateful for a more defined delegation of duties and a clear idea of what's expected of them.

Halep protects number one spot after Keys withdrawal in Rome
Simona Halep has retained her world number one ranking without stepping on court on Thursday after Madison Keys' withdrawal at the Internazionali d'Italia saw her reach the quarter-finals.
The Romanian could have been displaced by Caroline Wozniacki had she failed to reach the last eight and the Dane gone one round further than her.
But Keys had to pull out of their third-round contest due to a rib injury, giving Halep the walkover and ensuring she cannot be toppled at the summit.
Halep will face the winner of the match between Sloane Stephens and Caroline Garcia in the last eight.
Madison Keys has withdrawn from both singles and doubles due to a right rib injury. Simona Halep receives a walkover into the quarterfinals. #ibi18-- WTA Insider (@WTA_insider) May 17, 2018

Once again, the statistics show an increase in corporate and personal insolvencies nationally, with a reported 16,090 corporate insolvencies and 115,299 personal insolvencies in the UK in 2018. While the media is focusing on how this reflects on the economy and the government, insolvency specialist Tony Sampson looks at what it means for the millions of creditors involved in those insolvencies. In short, what will those creditors actually receive?
Fortunately, the payment a creditor may receive out of an insolvency (to offset their outstanding debt), whether it be an individual or a company insolvency, is not limited to simply what the office holder (whether that office holder be a trustee in bankruptcy, liquidator or administrator) can sell available assets for.
There are a whole host of other potential recoveries that the office holder can make, which could swell the pool of available assets in the insolvent estate to release and pay to creditors by way of dividends.
There may have been antecedent transactions before the individual or company went into the insolvency procedure. These could include:
- Preferences – i.e. paying and preferring selected creditors rather than other creditors
- Transactions at an undervalue – i.e. transferring to others assets free of charge or at an undervalue
- "Bogus" charges put in place over company assets – i.e. attempting to put in place security over assets at the expense of "unsecured creditors"
Overturn some or all of the above, and the creditors could be paid in full.
The office holder has wide powers to investigate the affairs of insolvent individuals, companies and directors to make recoveries.
When faced with an insolvency, it is important that creditors do not simply write the debts off and seek to recover their VAT, but rather get themselves appointed on the creditors' committee and make sure that if there are any recoveries to be made, they are made!
Recoveries to pay creditors in insolvencies are not unknown; you simply need specialist advice from an insolvency lawyer.

Bring out the pumpkin spice and the cozy sweaters, because our favorite season is on its way! The transition from summer to fall brings about some of the most beautiful natural colors in the environment. While Texas may not be as well known as New England for its fall foliage, several of our state's parks are just as vibrant. Here are six Texas parks you should visit this fall.
6. Monahans Sandhills State Park
This unique park might not seem like a fall designation spot, but it's actually the perfect time to go. The wind-sculpted living sand dunes are great to visit year-round, but the scorching summers in West Texas are difficult to bear. Monahans Sandhills State Park doesn't have beautiful fall foliage; however, the fall temperatures make this the perfect location. The most amazing thing about this park is that it will never be the same as the last time you went. Wind and rain are constantly changing the and shaping the dunes. The locals love to boogie board down the dunes, and water balloon fights are a must. Camping is permitted and it's the perfect location to stargaze. The west Texas sky is an unbelievable sight, unlike in any other area. This is definitely one of Texas parks you should visit in the fall.
5. Big Bend National Park
One of the more well-known parks in Texas, Big Bend National Park is located in the Southwest region and is well known for its view of night sky. Campers will find hundreds of bird species in the mountain range and various cacti around the area, so watch your step! Big Bend is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Texas thanks to its scenic hiking trails and historic sites. There are several different camping areas, for both RVs and tents, and they also offer a lodge, the Chisos Mountains Lodge.
4. Enchanted Rock
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area offers beautiful fall colors along its scenic paths. This desolate area is also well known for its view of the stars but is most popular for rock climbers. The giant granite dome leads people to amazing views and has drawn people for many years. Visitors love to backpack around the area, hike the trails and geocache. Unfortunately, this park does not allow swimming nor biking on the trails, but the area is still definitely worth a visit, just for the views alone. You'll see Texas in a whole new light.
3. Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Another Texas park you should visit in the fall is the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, best known for its bright-white Salt Basin Dunes and it's colorful fall foliage. Located in the park is the state's highest summit. If you take Guadalupe Peak Trail up through the forest, you'll see breathtaking views of El Capitan peak. If you want to the vibrant hues of fall, the best trail to take is The McKittrick Canyon Trail. Interestingly enough, this park is also home to a fossil reef from the Permian Era.
2. Palo Duro Canyon
If you really want to get a feel for the desert life in the fall, Palo Duro Canyon should be your destination spot. The canyon walls are painted various shades of red, like much of the desert surrounding them. This park offers equestrian trails, making it feel that much more uninhibited. This park offers guided horseback riding through the trails with Old West Stables and also hosts an outdoor musical drama, "Texas." The show is family-friendly and details the stories and struggles of early settlers, but adds a little show-biz flair with singing, dancing and fireworks.
1. Lost Maples State Natural Area
In Vanderpool, Texas, sits Lost Maples State Natural Area. Just two hours north of San Antonio and known locally for its fall foliage, visitors to this park can see wildflowers and will stumble upon the scenic Sabinal River. You'll want to stop for Instagram pictures at almost every turn. This park is a hiker's dream and visitors love to hunt for geocaches and cast their lines in Cane Creek. The area is full of a special strand of Uvalde bigtooth maples, which Lost Maples protects. There are around 30 campsites in the area that offer water and electricity and six that offer primitive tent-camping.

Co. Cavan rector's 1840 Penny Black letter a 'unique item of Irish postal history'
In a recent publication, Stephen Ferguson, Assistant Secretary of An Post, tells how a letter dated 8th May 1840 and written by the then rector of Shercock, Diocese of Kilmore, the Revd Frederick Fitzpatrick, is "a unique item of Irish postal history". Mr Ferguson describes it as "the earliest known and reliable example of the use of the Penny Black in Ireland".
Written at the former Londonderry Hotel at 5 Bolton Street in Dublin to a Henry Thomas at 35 Lincoln Inn Fields in London, the Fitzpatrick- Thomas letter bears two Penny Black stamps because it contained an affadavit and thus weighed more than a letter on its own.
JAN HUS (c.1369-1415)
Among 'Reformers before the Reformation', two figures stand out, the English John Wycliffe (c.1325- 1384) and the Czech John, or Jan, Hus. There is a close connection between them. Anne, sister of King Wenceslaus of Bohemia, married Richard II of England and this facilitated communication between the two kingdoms.
Hus, a brilliant young man, became Rector of the University of Prague at an early age and also Preacher in the newly erected Bethlehem Chapel. He used his position to defend Czech interests against German influence in the Kingdom, to support the philosophical position of 'realism' against the opposite view of 'nominalism', and to advocate the teachings of Wycliffe, whose writing, Trialogus, he translated into the Czech language.
Initially, Hus had the support of his Archbishop, but this was withdrawn following papal intervention against Wycliffe's ideas and the increasingly partisan tenor of Hus's writing and preaching, with their vigorous attacks on clerical abuses of all kinds. He was excommunicated because of his support for Wycliffe's teaching and sought to explain his views at the Council of Constance. He was promised a safe conduct by Sigismund, the King of Hungary, but this was disregarded and he was tried, condemned and burnt at the stake. This caused him to be regarded as a martyr by the Czech people, and his followers, called 'Hussites', became embroiled in a series of conflicts with adherents of Catholic orthodoxy.
In certain respects, Hus anticipated the 16th century Reformation by upholding the supreme authority of Holy Scripture and advocating belief in an invisible Church of true believers. Like Wycliffe, he believed in predestination. He upheld royal authority as against that of the papacy and was in turn supported to a large extent not only by the general populace but also by the Czech nobility. His writings are regarded as classics of Czech literature.
Hus denounced the doctrine of transubstantiation, but was influenced by some Czech writers who had advocated frequent communion, specifically in both kinds (bread and wine) instead of receiving in bread only, as was the current practice, except among the clergy. What is less wellknown is that his followers also revived the ancient custom (still universal in the Eastern Church) of the communion of all the baptized, including children, and this may have implications for the Church of the present day. The Moravian Church has historical links with the tradition of Hussite reform.
This editorial is one in a series of occasional reflections on figures in Church history, following a chronological sequence as they appear.

Letters to the Editor
The Masonic Order
I read with interest Canon Coulson's letter and the editor's response (Gazette, 30th November), as well as the report in the Belfast News Letter regarding outside influences which the Gazette editor feels may have affected Church matters in past years (22nd November).
I would like to refer in particular to the secrecy of the Masonic Order – as we don't march down the road once a year! We have no need to demonstrate, but that doesn't mean we wish to be secretive about membership.
The Grand Lodge of Freemasons in Ireland is trying to be open and welcoming about the organisation. However, it doesn't matter how loud we speak, we cannot make people listen if they choose not to.
That doesn't mean anyone would have to agree with what we are saying, but because most refuse to listen, we can hardly be held responsible for the continued ignorance and conspiracy theories that arise there from.
The Church of Ireland is part of the Anglican Communion, yet it retains its own identity and traditions within that community. Likewise with Freemasonry. Irish Masons hold common bond with Freemanons around the world, yet our customs and traditions here give us our own identity.
I find that most distrust of Freemasonry here in Ireland is usually derived from second-hand nonsense reproduced on the Internet. Most of this emanates from American websites and discusses Americans' Masonic culture, not ours here in Ireland.
I realise that the editor has been rebuffed by subsequent correspondence from Freemasons that has appeared in the News Letter and in the Gazette. Whilst I cannot disagree with their sentiment, I would like to add that I feel the editor was fair in voicing his concern. This has at least allowed a debate to begin around the subject and has given an opportunity for the Grand Lodge of Ireland to address these concerns in an intelligent and informed manner.
To that end, I extend an invitation to all concerned to discover more about our Order.

The voting method on women bishops legislation in the C. of E.
The origin of the tragedy – if I may call it such – of the Church of England General Synod's recent vote on draft legislation on women bishops lies not so much in the decision taken, more in the methodology used.
As happens in many spheres, everything was reduced to a binary vote, for or against, win or lose. There were lots of options in the debate, but only two on the ballot paper. Granted, measures had been taken to try and ensure that everyone was 'on board' – the three Houses, the requirement for a weighted majority, etc.
The fact nevertheless remains that the Church used a methodology by which consensus cannot be achieved, because you cannot measure consent in a majority vote, simple or weighted; in fact, it measures the very opposite, the degree of dissent: so many 'for', and so many 'against'.
The science of social choice has many of its origins in the Church. In the 12th century, Ramon Lull, a "devout Christian", was one of the first to criticise majority voting. In its stead, he advocated a voting procedure he called the "general art"; this might have been a points system, but the science is not clear.
Three hundred years later, however, Cardinal Cusanus definitely suggested such a system, that which today is called the (Modified) Borda Count [MBC]. "With much study," he said, "I have not been able to find a safer system and, believe me, no more safer system can be found."
Perhaps, therefore, the subject of decision-making should be looked at more closely. No majority has the right to dominate, no minority the right to veto; rather, we all have a responsibility to come to an accommodation, to live with each other, to come to collective decisions with each other.
Democracy should be a process by which all can influence that which thus becomes the confluence. This cannot be done by (simple or weighted) majority voting, where only some vote with, while others vote against.
It can be done, however, by following the advice of Nicholas of Cusa. In an MBC, people vote, in order of preference, only 'for' (one, some or better still) all of the options listed. But no one votes against any thing or any one; (either partially or fully), voters vote with each other.

The C. of I. College of Education and TCD
It was a pleasure to meet and work with the Registrar of Trinity College over five meetings between April and June of this year.
Professor Shane Allwright and I shared the chairing of these meetings held between representatives of the Provost of the University and of the Archbishop of Dublin, Chair of the Church of Ireland College of Education (CICE).
Together, we were tasked with "addressing how the two institutions could best work together for the benefit of initial teacher education and continuing professional development for educators specializing in inclusive education provision in Ireland". We had been given clear criteria for these talks.
I must, however, refute some of the claims made by the Professor. The views expressed in her letter, as published in the Gazette (30th November), do not seem to me a fair representation of what was conveyed to those of us involved in the discussions.
With respect, I suggest that Professor Allwright meets with the representatives of the University's School of Education. They were particularly forthright in demanding that any future working together would be on terms acceptable to their School and consequently full incorporation of CIC E into an enlarged School of Education would be required.
When the Archbishop's representatives tried to focus on some of the other alternatives as listed in Professor Allwright's letter, there was no willingness at all from the School of Education's representative to do so. Thus, it was not at all clear to those of us involved that all five models were acceptable to Trinity, as the Professor states in her letter. The overwhelming assertion of the School of Education was that full incorporation was the only acceptable model and there was no dissension from the other Trinity representatives.
There was some attempt to appease by a suggestion that the Church of Ireland might be named in an award or lecture, but it was very obvious that neither the name nor the ethos could be accommodated in any other way in a "nondenominational" University.
Guarantees requested for recognition of staff, for reserved places and for the continuation of all courses presently offered at CIC E were not forthcoming. Professor Allwright states that the Archbishop's representatives simply walked away from the talks – but this does not reflect the facts.
In June, meetings were held at which it was made clear to the Trinity representatives that no substantial progress had been made. The four core principles, which had been clearly set out, needed to be addressed in full by the University and various suggestions were made as part of this.
Thus, we gave TCD every opportunity to be absolutely clear about what was needed. Our final meeting was on Wednesday 20th June, three weeks after the deadline given by the Provost and the Archbishop – the end of May. Every effort, I believe, had been made to find a way forward.

Our theatrical release in Japan was originally planned for Uplink Shibuya in Tokyo and Theater Seven in Osaka, but due to popular demand we'll be opening in two other major cities as well! The theatrical roll-out will continue at Cinema Skhole in Nagoya and at the Rissei Cinema in Kyoto in the coming weeks. Uplink has some fun events planned during the run, and the screenings will also feature a video introduction by Illinois outsider artist David "The Rock" Nelson. Also, see below to find out how you can be a participant in the distribution process!
Uplink made special advance tickets for the release, using actual VHS tapes, and they've already sold out of their stock. As a result of that enthusiasm, they are now doing a campaign in which the public can donate their unwanted tapes to the cause. If you have tapes to donate, simply contact Uplink and arrange to drop them off. You'll receive a poster or postcard for our movie, plus a discounted admission once it opens. The release is only a couple weeks away, so tell your friends to donate their tapes! The details of the campaign can be found here.

Um, Azealia Banks Said She Was At Elon Musk's House 'For Days' Waiting For Grimes
Musk has since denied ever even meeting Banks.
Strap in, kids, this is a wild ride from start to finish.
Azealia Banks, known to dip her toe in a controversy or two, recently hopped on Twitter to let the world know that she was putting the finishing touches on her album Fantasea II: The Second Wave.
All she was waiting on was to connect with the synth-pop queen Grimes, who just so happens to be dating SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Both artists had been open in the past about their desire to work together, and recently Banks had said that she was just putting the finishing touches on the album with just two songs to finish, including one that would see her flying to LA to work with Grimes.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
So THIS WEEKEND Banks hopped onto Instagram to post a series of text-posts to her story detailing her time at Musk's house, saying she was there for days alone, before launching into some really wild allegations.
The recording artist claimed she was staying at the house while Musk and Grimes were on acid, calling the experience a "real life episode of Get Out".
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
This weekend Musk tweeted that he planned to sell Tesla short shorts, then followed it up with a series of wild tweets including just the words "S3XY" and "Unis3x".
Banks also spoke to Business Insider via Instagram DM where she alleged she witnessed Musk "scrounging for investors to cover his ass" after he tweeted his plans to take Tesla private.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
WELL because it's 2018, Elon Musk -- man who shoots things into space and also sells flamethrowers and, apparently, booty shorts -- has responded to the claims that he was tweeting on LSD all weekend.
Speaking to Gizmodo via Twitter DM (honestly, 2018 is bizarre) Musk said he "had never even met [Banks] or communicated with her in any way".
So there you go. You're all caught up, and probably more confused than the aliens who'll come across the short shorts Musk is likely to blast into orbit in a few months time.

10 Easter Bible Verses to Lift You Up
By Shell - April 12, 2019
Hey, did you know Easter is right around the corner? This year, it falls on Sunday, April 21st. And, I don't know about you, but I always find it joyful to dig into the Bible and see what it has to say about the Resurrection.
I mean, after all, this is HUGE. This is such an awesome part of Christianity. It brings hope. It brings encouragement. It brings faith. It brings life. It brings freedom. And, it brings celebration.
As Easter approaches, let these Bible verses open your heart and lift your eyes.
Job 19:25
"But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last."
Isaiah 53:5
"But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
Isaiah 25:8
"He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign Lord will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The Lord has spoken!
Isaiah 26:19
"But those who die in the Lord will live: their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead!"
Acts 3:15
"You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. And we are witnesses of this fact!"
Mark 16:6
"...but the angel said, "Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body!"
Luke 4:38-39
"Why are you frightened? he asked. Why are your hearts filled with doubt? Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it's really me..."
1 Corinthians 5:3-6
"...Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time..."
Philippians 3:10-11
"I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!"
And the best news...
1 Corinthians 6:14
"And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead."
Well, there you have it, folks - scripture to swell your soul. Indulge in it and watch what happens!
Happy Easter! 💓

Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Businesses? This May Help
The Best Way To Get Animated Video Services At Lower Rates.
The end product when it comes to animated video is determined by the decisions you make in its production. You can opt for a number of means in getting the videos you want. Those who are working on a tight budget think that their choices are limited but remember that this is not true. One way of getting the video is looking for freelance video producers. There are several sites you can get these freelancers and they charge very low rates given that some of them come from places where the cost of living is low. Actually, you can contract several of the workers so that you will have options when choosing the work to go with.
You might be guaranteed quality when you choose to go with the freelancers and still get a poor product and that is why you should hire a professional video editor to oversee the finished work. You should note that a lousy video means clients will not think highly of your company and this is dangerous for your business especially when it is just starting out. You may use templates too if you are not comfortable with freelancing. There are companies which have template animated video and you get to choose what you want to go with. However, these companies use general assumptions in the production process and that is why you will not be able to get a tailored product. One of the things you should avoid is procuring animated video service from companies which make use of robots in casting voice notes.
Even though you may have been led to believe that customized products are expensive, if you do not take this line o though seriously you will realize that you can get the video you want at low rates. You can still the company you want but it will take time. Get help from your social group in searching for the company you want to avoid wastage of time and resources because many of them will be happy to help. In customized services, it is difficult to find standard prices because the producers take into consideration the work they will have to do in setting the prices and that is why you need to hire those you can comfortably afford. Even though you are being driven towards a certain company by your desires or friends, there is no need to spend time negotiating if you know for sure you cannot afford the services. You'd rather do what you are sure will be productive in the end.

Tarløysa Hiking Trail
Experience one of the best viewpoints in Romsdalen
Essential info
- Destination: Romsdalen
- Season: May-October
- Difficulty: Demanding
- Distance: 7.6 kilometers (out‑and‑back)
- Elevation Gain: 680 meters
- Duration: 3-4 hours
About Tarløysa
The Tarløysa hike is a great tour with mixed terrain that will give you a proper high mountain feeling the last part of the hike. The summit will reward you with one of the most beautiful lookout points in Norway.
Getting there
The trailhead is found at Nysetra parking lot between Molde and Åndalsnes. From Molde the drive takes about 1 hour including one boat crossing along road 64 towards Åndalsnes. Similarly, from Åndalsnes the drive takes about 30 minutes along road 64 towards Molde.
Take a left up Nysetervegen 4 km after Åfarnes if you drive from Molde. Or a right up Nysetervegen 4 km before Åfarnes if you drive from Åndalsnes. This is a toll road and you need to pay 79 NOK with a credit card.
Follow Nysetervegen until you reach the parking lot on the left side of the road.
Trail description
You will find the trailhead on the right side of the cabins by the parking lot. The first part of the trail goes through a small forest where the trail can be a bit wet. Continue on the trail as it follows a ridge through the forest with the marshes on your left-hand side. Soon you will get to Telen, the first viewpoint of the hike.
From Telen the trail gets a bit steeper as you ascend the first peak. The trail is easy to follow with cairns all the way to the top. Follow the left side of the ridge with great views of Herjevatnet.
After reaching the first peak with a big cairn at the top, the trail flattens out as you move along the ridge to the final peak Tarløysa.
- The road up to the parking lot costs 79 NOK and can be paid by credit card
- Make sure to fill up your water bottle by the parking lot before you leave.
- At the end of the trail, you will find a small public cabin that you can use if the weather is bad. It is also possible to stay the night there. The cabin has four beds and a gas heater.
Questions or comments? Let us know.

The Laos Scavenger HuntWe're racing around Luang Prabang, following clues and solving puzzles to raise money for a school.
GVI Laos has a long-standing relationship with the Luang Prabang Children's Library. This library is associated with 4 rural Learning Centres which provide important learning opportunities for rural students. One of the these Learning Centres, located in Nan District, three hours away from our base in Luang Prabang, is at risk of closing its doors due to lack of funding.
All of the funds from this event will be put towards helping the Rural Learning Centre in Nan District keep its doors open. The funds will be put towards the 2 teachers salaries- without them the school will no longer to able to stay open.
We are aiming to raise $3600 (£2800) which will cover the combined annual salaries of the 2 teachers, Ms Boualai and Ms Khamphanh.

Have you ever watched the Olympics either in person or on TV? A seldom shown event is fencing where two opponents square off with foils, sabers or epees, all of which are blunted and have no sharp edges. With all of the body armor worn by the contestants and the dullness of the weapons it's virtually impossible for anyone to get hurt.
Fencing is also a collegiate sport at over 30 universities where their athletes aspire to hone their skills to the point of representing the United States at the Olympics. One of the newest fencing clubs to form was at North Dakota State University. However, the fencing club was short lived because school officials declared that their fencing equipment are weapons and therefore violated the schools weapons ban.
The ban has forced the club to move off campus which has resulted in their losing some members. Club President Enrique Alvarez, who has been fencing since his early teens, commented:
"The current interpretation of the non-weapon policy in NDSU…understands our fencing equipment as weapons."
In describing the foils, sabers and epees they use, Alvarez stated:
"This is a spring and a flat tip that if you press the spring against the body of the other person, will be awarded a point."
How many instances have you heard of where someone was wounded or killed with a dulled competitive fencing foil, sabre or epee? I haven't heard of a single case that I recall. However, I have heard of other athletic equipment being used as weapons, such as baseball bats, tennis rackets, hockey sticks, lacrosse rackets, ice skates and even basketballs. And let's not forget about the danger of archery equipment being used as weapons.
If you follow the logic or illogic of the North Dakota State University officials, virtually every sporting event should be banned because of the danger of some of the equipment being used as a weapon. Pens, pencils, scissors and letter openers have also been used as weapons a lot more often than competitive fencing foils, so they should also be banned from college campuses.
A number of graphic arts classes use knives to cut out stencils and other materials used to create signs, t-shirts and other items. If fishing knives in a tackle box locked in a pickup truck on a high school campus is grounds for suspension and felony charges, then all of the crafting knives should also be banned from college campuses.
Any universities that teach any form of carpentry, wood or metal working along with auto mechanics should ban all of these programs because the students use many tools that have been used as weapons in the past, especially hammers and wrenches.
Even more dangerous are computers. They are used to destroy people's finances and lives and have driven too many students to suicide. Computers are very dangerous weapons in the wrong hands, so North Dakota State University should ban all computers.
The most dangerous weapon on every college campus is the people. It's people that use whatever they can get their hands on to commit their acts of violence against others. Fencing foils do not kill people, people kill people, so ban people from the university campus.
I hope you see the utter ridiculousness of the actions of the North Dakota State University officials. There is absolutely no logic behind their actions and only demonstrates the stupidity that drives liberalism's anti-weapon agenda. To be honest, the liberals are probably the most dangerous of all the people on campus so they should be banned as a violation of the school's weapon and intelligence policies.

'Bachelor' Sean Lowe Reveals Horrifying Experienece In Houston: 'I Was Holding A Dead Man'
Native Texan Sean Lowe rushed from Dallas to Houston to help rescue victims caught in the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. The former 'Bachelor' says he ended up holding a dead man in his arms.
What a hero! Former Bachelor Sean Lowe came to the rescue of victims stranded by the massive flood waters left by Hurricane Harvey in Houston. The 33-year-old put a call out on Twitter on Aug. 27, asking "Anyone in the Dallas area have a small boat I can take to Houston to help with evacuations? I'll pay for the rental," and he found a taker and headed down to Houston the following morning. What he experienced there was absolutely heartbreaking as he held a dead man in his arms. He was assisting firefighters with a man in cardiac arrest and tells Entertainment Tonight that, "I don't know if he survived, I doubt that he did. We had to pull him from a canoe that he was being drug in to our boat, where firefighters were giving him CPR for about 15 to 20 minutes before we could get him to an ambulance."
"It took about three of us, and I was holding a dead man," he continues. "His heart was not beating and his face was as blue as blue gets. To just be involved with that, to see it, it really shook me up. That's something I'll take to my grave remembering." OMG, how tragic! The whole rescue experience left him a changed man. "It was eye-opening for me. When I think about Houston, I usually visualize the downtown portion of Houston, but what I didn't realize was the whole Houston metro area is being devastated, and it is just miles and miles and miles of land under water." Click here for Hurricane Harvey pics.
"We were hearing stories of people who have young babies and they're stranded in the attic of their home, the elderly…it's heartbreaking stuff," he reveals. "You know, I told [my wife] Catherine when I got back to Dallas, I said, 'I wish I could accurately convey how bad it is, but it's really indescribable.' And just to see people forced from the homes that they've lived in for years, to go down a residential street on a boat, and you see water eight feet high, and people's homes — it's a really eerie feeling. And to hear people yelling and shouting…." How devastating!
"Look, I took a boat down there and I tried to rescue as many people as possible, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not much, but I'm glad I could play a small part," he says. "Even if you can't go down there and help, donations are helping tremendously, and if you can get down there, they need you. And right now I'm trying to figure out how I can get back there to lend more of a helping hand."
HollywoodLifers, are you proud of Sean's rescue efforts following Hurricane Harvey?

- Real estate agents need to better educate consumers.
- Staging benefits everyone involved in the transaction.
- If you don't have the skill set for staging, leave it to the professionals.
Every once in a while, real estate professionals get a sneak peek into how consumers really feel about staging — and agents in general. This happened to me a couple of days ago as I was perusing a former client's Facebook feed. This person clearly understood the importance of what her agent was telling her, but I can't say the same for several of her friends.

Lent groups 2019: From beginning to end
The Lent groups on both Tuesday and Thursday became poets and want to share their creations, both entitled 'Our God is many things'. Here is the first
Our God is many things
He is Lord of all nature, the sun and the storm
He is helping me through the day
Warm, holding arms around me,
The only one who does know what is going to happen now.
Our God is many things.
He is there in the storm, the wind and rain.
He is leaving us in a mess with Brexit.
He is with me,
Loving and healing.
One I do not understand.
All present, all knowing.
He is my leader.
He is waiting for me to turn and listen.
The rock which underpins everything.
He never comes close to me.
God is shaping my world.
He is at a bit of a distance.
He is our shepherd.
He is a benevolent father.
He is my strength.
He is my friend who never lets me down
And here is the second:
He is everything – especially a helper
He is my saviour
He is my rock in the storm
A listening ear in the midst of turmoil
He is with me
He is mysterious
He is an aspirational shadow that I try to honour and respect
He is non gender specific
He is here with us today
God is love of life
The confusion and unknowing
A listener
With us now and always
God is love and always there
Corrector of my muddled feelings
He is my leader and my carer
A restriction
He is listening and awaiting my prayers
He is Saviour
The centre of all that I am and all that I do
God is love

This is a brilliant recipe I found on Frugality Gal's website. How easy can you make this? Who doesn't like an "Egg McMuffin?" The problem is it is difficult to make them for a group of people so that everyone is served at the same time. This solves that problem.
I will be making these eggs and turning them into Egg McMuffins by adding an English muffin and some cheese in just a few weeks when I have a house-full of people.

In this project we investigate the performance of a variation of the so-called Bradley-Terry (BT) model for paired comparisons in the context of the 2004 Athens Soccer Olympics and the English League. We explore the usefulness of the BT model both as a tool to rank sport teams and as a prediction tool. We find that for the English League, the BT performs adequately in terms of ranking, but it performs poorly for the Olympic since data is too sparse.

Power Washing
Power washing your deck or home can improve its curb appeal immediately. Saylor's Painting uses the latest power washing technology to clean your home's exterior before any exterior paint or exterior wood staining begins. Preparation is the key to maintain a lasting finish to the outside of your home. We start by removing dirt, oils and mildew from the surface to be painted or stained, plus we ensure no damage will be caused to your siding, wood trim or deck by being too aggressive with your power washer. If you need power washing on your deck or your complete home, call us at 410-692-0390 for a free estimate.
Most contractors recommend that you should pressure wash your exterior at least every three years. Dirt, residue oils and especially mildew can destroy the wood and create unsightly dark stains. Extreme care must be taken in order not to cause grinding of dirt into the wood or cause irregular surfaces in your deck with an overly aggressive water stream. In inexperienced hands, you can do more damage to your siding, trim and wood deck.
Saylor's Painting Company utilizes state of the art power washing equipment with variable adjustments to prevent damage to delicate wood surfaces, plus we use non-toxic ingredients to kill mold & mildew that maybe embedded.

(Reuters) - Gold steadied near two-week highs on Wednesday and was set for its second successive weekly gain, thanks to a modest decline in the dollar that may sharpen investor appetite for the metal, although a U.S. public holiday is likely to temper any gains.
Investment demand for bullion has flagged over the last few months, in light of the high degree of uncertainty over the impact of the euro zone debt crisis on the global economy that has resulted in the dollar emerging as the safe-haven asset of choice, to the detriment of gold.
Yet holdings of gold in exchange-traded funds, often used as a gauge of longer-term investor demand, have eased this week, but remain less than half a percent off March's record high above 70.89 million ounces.
This week could be decisive in determining the likely course of monetary policy in both the United States and the euro zone, where the low interest rates that prevail in both regions have been instrumental in creating demand for gold.
The European Central Bank meets on Thursday to discuss monetary policy and is widely expected to cut euro zone rates to a record low to try to contain the debt crisis, without resorting to buying the sovereign bonds of heavily indebted nations such as Spain and Italy to lower their borrowing costs.
More crucially for the gold market is U.S. monthly employment data on Friday, which will offer some proof of the ability of the economy to generate jobs and the scope for the Federal Reserve to take additional policy measures to stimulate growth.
Spot gold was bid at $1,614.30 an ounce at 1421 GMT, down 0.2 percent on the day and was up nearly 1 percent on the week, set for its second consecutive weekly rally, its longest stretch of gains since late February.
COMEX gold futures for August delivery traded down 0.5 percent on the day at $1,614.30 on the Globex electronic platform.
"With the U.S. off, volumes are half of what was traded yesterday and yesterday was a low-volume day. There has been a bit of profit-taking and I still see resistance at $1,630.00," Andrey Kryuchenkov, an analyst at VTB Capital said.
"At the end of the day, people are still very cautious."
The U.S. monthly jobs report is expected to show 90,000 workers were added to non-farm payrolls in June and the unemployment rate held at 8.2 percent.
The May report showed the slowest growth in payrolls in a year and revived speculation that the Fed could resort to more asset purchases to anchor borrowing rates to boost the economy, particularly ahead of this November's presidential elections.
The ECB's widely expected decision on Thursday to cut rates by 25 basis points to a record low 0.75 percent could prove positive for gold, even if shifts in U.S. rates have more impact on the dollar-price of the metal.
"Gold tends to benefit from easier monetary policy," HSBC analyst James Steel said.
"....while an ECB rate cut might be initially bearish for the euro it should ultimately help support the euro to the extent that it relieves financial market pressures in the euro zone. Based on the positive correlation between the euro and gold prices, an ECB rate cut could therefore be near-term bearish but eventually bullish for gold."
The correlation between the euro/dollar exchange rate and the gold price touched its strongest in 2-1/2 months on Wednesday, rising to 0.60 from below 0.40 in late June, meaning the two assets are more likely to move in tandem with each other than they were two weeks ago.
In fundamental news for gold, output in China, the world's largest producer, stood at 31.2 tonnes in May, up from 28.8 tonnes in April and the highest monthly figure this year.
The slightly weaker tone in gold extended to silver, to which it tends to be quite strongly positively correlated. The correlation between the two rose to 0.89, from around 0.85 late last week, the highest since March.
Silver was last down 0.3 percent at $28.11 an ounce.
Platinum slid 0.2 percent on the day to $1,479.00, while palladium rose by 0.5 percent to $597.50. The palladium price staged its biggest one-day rally since late December on Tuesday, when it rose by 3.82 percent.
The previous session's weakness in the dollar, which makes it more profitable for non-U.S. investors to buy dollar-priced assets, together with data that showed car sales in the United States beat expectations in June helped trigger the rally.
The figures, which showed a 22-percent rise in sales in the world's second-largest car market last month, showed an annualised sales rate of 14.1 million vehicles, compared with analysts' estimates of 13.9 million.
Palladium is employed mainly in the catalytic converters of gasoline-powered vehicles, which are the most commonly used in the U.S. market.

We're closing on the purchase of our house in Noord on 17th April and have been trying to get quotes for building work from where we live in the UK. It has taken us 3 months to get one quote and this is extortionate! Probably 3 times the price of similar work to be done in the UK!
Does anyone know of a good and reasonably priced builder we can contact to knock through 2 door openings and put in doors, and do some ceramic floor tiling around the pool and on the patios (with us providing the tiles)?
We will be in Aruba from 17th April to 4th May and will need the work doing during this time.
All help gratefully received......thank you!

GameStop director is selling some stocks
Whenever a senior-level executive at a publicly traded company starts selling their company stock holdings, Wall Street types perk their ears up — why would an executive sell shares of his own company's stock? Does this person know something the rest of us don't? Is the company going to tank soon? Is he taking a job elsewhere? Or does he just need some extra cash to buy a new yacht?
Keep all of this in mind as you read the following: GameStop director Leonard Riggio has just sold 2.3 million shares of stock for about $60 million. Sure enough, some on Wall Street view this as an inauspicious sign for the game retailer's prospects. Yet, games industry mouthpiece and Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter says not to fret. While he can't explain Riggio's huge dump of stock, Pachter sees smooth sailing, in the form of strong sales and profits, for GameStop.
While all of this makes for interesting speculation, the world at large isn't taking much notice of Riggio's sale. GameStop's stock movements were fairly boring yesterday, closing a mere four tenths of a percentage point below last week's price.

Movies on VH1 and E!
Why are there movies on VH1 and E! channel? There are a million other channels for movies filled with commercials. I want to see anything BUT movies on these channels. It drives me crazy! Can't they come up with enough ideas for programming for these channels or something? They have to resort to playing re-run movies over and over and over? Sometimes that is exactly what they do too. They will play the same one movie over and over for one or two weeks, mostly on the weekend. It drives me nuts.
Specialty networks are a thing of the past
None of these channels offer what they are supposed to:
Sci-Fi Channel (I refuse to use the stupid new name): I'm sorry but WWE wrestling, Ghost Hunters, and James Bond are not Science Fiction and have no place on a channel that is supposed to show Sci-Fi programming.
MTV should be re-branded Real World Network as they haven't shown videos in years. Oh and by the way The Real World is BORING, time to come up with something new already.
VH1: Shows pretty much trashy TV. Flavor of Love and New York and prime examples.
I could list other networks who have gone down this trail, but I think you get the point. I just wish if these channels were changing format that they'd have the courtesy to let viewers know, if you're going to change from science fiction (ya hear me Sci-Fi Channel) then have the testicles to tell viewers rather than just doing and telling us to bad if you don't like it.
These networks need to start pulling their heads out their asses, consumers are fed up with over paying for programming they are not getting. I predict that cable TV subscriptions are going to start dwindling as more and more people find better alternatives like Netflix or Hulu.
I see myself streaming more and more content from I-Tunes and Netflix, eventually we'll not have any cable service at all. Screw the cable companies and the good for nothing networks they offer!
