Unfortunately named Vietnamese-Australian, Bich Phuc Dat, has been forced to post an image of his passport to Facebook after being constantly banned for using a 'fake name'.
Phuc, 23, told the world world wide web that the situation is "highly irritating" and that he is rarely believed when he spells out his full name. As a last ditch attempt to clear the air surrounding his name he posted his passport which clearly showed his full name. The passport was then shared tens of thousands of times, the internet at his finest.
In a statement accompanying the post he wrote:
I've been accused of using a false and misleading name, which I find very offensive. I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it. Is it because I'm Asian? Is it? Having my [Facebook account] shut down multiple times and forced to change my name to my 'real' name, so just to put it out there. My name. Yours sincerely, Phuc Dat Bich.
At least he's not alone, here are a few of his mates.

We've seen the numbers. New Frontier Data, one of the leaders in providing data analytics for the cannabis industry, reported that they expect the Cannabis Industry to create almost 300,000 jobs by 2020. With so much opportunity for employment, what can you do to separate your company to attract the best employees and, once you have them, retain and prevent them from leaving you?
One of the best tools to utilize is implementing and offering your employees a benefit package through your company. When employees are comparing job offers and compensation, the scope and cost of the benefit package is a key factor in whether or not they will take the job. According to a study conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), here are some statistics showing the impact that offering a benefit package provide:
- 92% of employees indicated that benefits are important to their overall job satisfaction
- 29% of employees cited that their overall benefit package was the reason for them to look for a new job while 32% stated they were unlikely to look elsewhere strictly due to the benefit package that they receive
- 72% of organizations have increased their benefit offerings in the last 12 months to retain their employees while 58% did so to attract new talent
- 98% of organizations offered at least one type of health care plan in 2018 while over two-thirds (69%) offered their employees multiple plan options
As you can see, organizations who are offering benefit packages to their employees are attracting employees at a higher rate and are also more successful at retaining their employees.
Not only does the implementation of a benefit package help with attracting and retaining employees, but it also leads to healthier employees. According to a study done by the Health Enhancement Research Organization (HERO), 90% of business leaders cited that their employees' health had a significant or very significant influence on the overall productivity of the organization. Besides for productivity, below is a table highlighting what other areas business leaders felt was directly affected by the health of their employees:
To further support this concept, here are 5 more reasons why having healthy employees translates into a positive impact on your business:
- Fewer Accidents – healthier employees are more focused and aware of their surroundings, which mean less accidents due to inattentiveness along with a lower chance of communicable illnesses being spread as healthy employees will benefit from a boosted immune system.
- Less Sick Pay – Tying into the lower chance of a communicable disease being spread, because you have a healthier workforce there will be less employees calling out sick which translates to more work being done.
- Fewer Workers Compensation Claims – According to a report conducted by Northeast Business Group's "Weight Control and the Workplace", overweight employees file twice the amount of claims than average and cost companies over $70,000,000,000 (Yes, that's in BILLIONS) a year!
- Lower Turnover – When employees are happy and healthy, they are less likely to seek a new job. This will reduce the cost and frequency of recruiting and training a replacement.
- Higher Morale – a healthy workplace will translate into all employees having a higher morale, which will have a ripple effect and increase productivity, teamwork, and just the overall atmosphere of the organization.
Now I know what you're thinking: "I'm just starting my business and can't afford to pay for benefits for all of my employees!" and I completely understand. However, you don't need to pay for the entire cost of the benefits! In the same study by SHRM, the table below shows the breakdown in how organizations share the costs of health care benefits with their employees:
The table above is specifically referencing health care but there are also benefits outside of just health care that you can provide to your employees. They include:
- Wellness Programs
- Paid Leave
- Retirement Savings and Planning
- Work-Life Balance
- Financial and Career
- Professional and Career Development
- Travel and Relocation
Now knowing that there are ways to make implementing a benefit package cost-effective for both you and your employees, you're probably thinking: "how the hell am I supposed to figure out how to put something like this together?" and the answer is simple – reach out!
We have a team here at Brown & Brown that is dedicated to working with you and putting together a benefit package that aligns with your organization's goals and budget along with crafting these packages to cater to the requests and needs of your employees. All that we need to do is set up a call, talk about your business and what benefits you and your employees are looking for, get a census of your employees, and then the next time we talk will be to discuss the different plan options that we put together for you and figure out which one makes the most sense to move forward with.
Reach out today and we'll work to separate your business from the rest and make sure that you keep your employees while also continuing to attract the best of the best.

text: Tonight we went to a going away dinner for Marcel's friend Steve. He is moving to Houston for a job transfer. It was held at the Delta Café in SE Woodstock. It was a nice neighborhood joint full of mostly locals. The kind you can walk to on a weeknight when you just want to hang out with your friends. They had Tuesday night specials with micro brews only $2.50 and $9 plates. I had the fried chicken plate ($12.95) and it was very good. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The side dishes were red beans with rice and tater tot casserole. Yum!

"I acknowledge that mistakes were made."
–Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales
Isn't the passive voice a wonderful thing? It's a way to appear responsible, without actually taking any responsibility. A handy rhetorical tool for those in politics, and one which we got to see in use just today, as our Chief Rationalizer for the Undermining of the Constitution, also known as the Attorney General, tried to justify the political firing of eight U.S. Attorneys while at the same time pretending he had nothing to do with it.
"Mistakes were made," certainly, but when phrased that way, it leaves open the very important question, who by? Please, tell us, exactly who made these mistakes? You? Karl Rove? The alleged president? The American people, by voting these weasels into power? I submit to you, my nonexistent readers, that there is a world of difference between saying "mistakes were made," and admitting that "I made a mistake."
In fairness to Gonzales, he is hardly the first political-type to try to weasel out of a tight spot using the passive voice, and he certainly won't be the last. Examples abound of this sort of creative use of the passive voice in politics. I seem to recall someone in the Reagan administration saying it in connection with the Iran-Contra affair, and others have used similar words in similarly awkward or appalling political situations.
And there are good reasons why we see so much of this from the mouths of politicians. A rather startling percentage of politicians are lawyers, after all, and while law students are generally urged by their writing instructors to use the active voice, those same instructors will be the first to tell you that the passive voice can be your friend when you want to accurately describe the facts in a brief without making your client look guilty of whatever he or she (or it, in the case of corporate clients) has been accused of. Consider the following example:
Imagine you are representing a defendant in a civil lawsuit in which one party is being sued for, hypothetically speaking, shooting the plaintiff in the face while the plaintiff and the defendant were out hunting after having a few beers. Which of the following sentences would you rather include in your legal brief?
"Plaintiff was shot in the face while hunting."
"Defendant Cheney then accidentally shot the plaintiff in the face."
The first option acknowledges that the plaintiff was shot in the face, but provides no information about who pulled the trigger. Conversely, even putting in the word "accidentally" in the second statement doesn't help our poor defendant out very much there, does it?
In fairness to the Republicans (and make a note that I am trying to be fair to the slimy bastards), Democrats are probably just as guilty of abuse of the passive voice. In the face of reporters trying to get Hillary Clinton to admit that she was wrong to vote in favor of the Iraq war, the most I have heard anyone get from her is an acknowledgment that "it was a mistake" — not that she made a mistake. (Shame on you, Hillary. You're not fooling anyone with half a brain and that will work against you, since you're not running for the Republican Party's nomination.)
Some reporters push the issue, but it seems like many more dutifully repeat what is said to them without further inquiry. And of course, on Faux News, they just stick to whatever talking points they've been handed by their Republican Party overlords. We need to start forcing the issue when we are confronted with politicians trying to passive-voice their way out of a sticky situation. Otherwise, mistakes will continue to be made, and responsibility will continue to be ducked.

John Amato, over at Crooks and Liars, has posted a video from MSNBC from yesterday, in which Dana Priest of the Washington Post in essence says her paper does not label the current situation in Iraq a "civil war" because the government doesn't use that label. Yes, you read that right. They are, in essence, refusing to call a duck a duck because the government won't, without questioning for one moment the White House's own motivation for avoiding the term. Newspeak is alive and well, friends and neighbors!

Clyburn: Time to Excise Diversity Dampening Clauses
Look for the FCC to vote Thursday to find unconditional most-favored nation clauses (MFNs) and "unreasonable" alternative distribution mechanism (ADM) clauses presumptively off limits.
What is less clear is whether the commission will decide to apply that across the board, or only where the programmer--an independent or start-up--lacks the clout of the MVPD.
The Commission is scheduled to vote Sept. 29 on a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on program diversity and it is expected to look a lot like the conditions placed on the Charter/Time Warner Cable/Bright House merger.
The NRPM is expected to seek comment on program bundling, but not presume it is anticompetitive.
The NPRM stems from a Notice of Inquiry launched last February in response to a request from FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn after agreeing to support mergers, including Charter-TWC, in which access to independent programming issues were raised.
The NPRM has long been expected to propose applying more broadly, per a new FCC rule, the Charter-TWC condition—contained in a Department of Justice consent decree—that prohibits New Charter from preventing programmers from doing deals with online video distributors (OVDs) like Netflix.
Under the terms of the DOJ approval of the Charter/TWC deal, Charter was prohibited from "entering into or enforcing any agreement with a programmer that forbids, limits or creates incentives to limit the programmer's provision of content to one or more OVDs. The settlement further provides that Charter will not be able to avail itself of other distributors' most favored nation (MFN) provisions if they are inconsistent with this prohibition. The settlement also prohibits New Charter from retaliating against programmers for licensing to OVDs."
The Commissioner blogged about the item on the eve of the vote, saying "the use of unconditional MFNs and unreasonable ADMs have enabled unfair barriers to entry, so now is the time to move forward and enact rules that prohibit these practices."

Happy love day
Nap – Fiona yes, in my arms, while standing in the mall (but I'll take it)
Health – clear eyes and dry noses
Cat – still alive for those tracking his last of 9 lives
Inside playground – at 90%, still need door delivery and hinges
Today is the day of corporate mandated love expression. I personally like holidays like this in general and it is nice that it is a reasonably low expectation day. There is the push for the class valentines but between Lars and I we have kept it simple forever. To be perfectly sappy, we are pretty good about the love stuff year round.
On the other hand, it is a day that has a bad way of giving power to those who don't disserve it. There are people in my life that are not thoughtful and for some reason they take up more brain space than the people who are. There are times in my past that the new group of people I found myself with were mean or rude or just non helpfully neutral and I have seen many of them/the culture change their ways and that makes me glad for the positive way someone new is treated, but I still have a 'poor me' bit that is sad that I suffered through that time. Why do I let these things upset me? I don't know, maybe hormones, because I have so many people and situations around me that are fabulous. They are kind and generous and happy and excited and have helped me in ways they (and probably I) don't even know.
I need to keep working on focusing on the positive and productive. If you don't like me, fine, I'll still treat you as I wish to be treated not how you might treat me.
Next on my agenda is a nice run on my elliptical in a 45min chunk of time carved out for me by my loving husband. I have the ever present (sometimes aggressive) love of three kids who at this moment are behaving well and who actually did great all day at a cookie event and now earned their pizza. Post-pizza I have a fondue pot and fruit with our name on it and once they are settled we are turning on the Martian and watching Matt Damon. How is that for an exciting, romantic Sunday night 🙂
I do hope that today passed well for you all. That the day met your expectations. If not, I hope you are successful in embracing the fact that you are in charge of your own happiness and take back the power from the idiots who don't appreciate you.
Happy Valentines day ~

One of Windows' most beloved features, the Start Menu, is making a big comeback in Windows 10. We already have a basic idea of what it looks like — settings and apps will be displayed in a list format just like the classic Start Menu — but the "Modern UI" tiles introduced with Windows 8 will also be a huge part of it.
Now, leaked screenshots that reportedly show a newer internal build of Windows 10 indicate the Start Menu may get a transparent look. The screenshots, posted by Chinese website ITHome, reveal a version of the Start Menu that's see-through and blurs any programs running in the desktop behind it.
It looks a lot like the Aero Glass effect Microsoft made for Windows 7, as The Verge's Tom Warren notes. Another leaked screenshot from ITHome shows that Microsoft is working on integrating Cortana into the Start Menu, too.
We're expecting to learn more about what Microsoft has planned for Windows 10 at its Build keynote presentation on Wednesday. Microsoft hasn't said exactly when the final version of Windows 10 will be released, but we're expecting it to come out in July.

Made in Italy
Italians are renowned the world over for their passion for design. Combined with exquisite craftsmanship this has produced some of the most desirable products and iconic brands. That same passion and craftsmanship is what drove our founders Eugenio Illoti and Evelino Berno to create their rst commercial cooker way back in 1952. Word spread quickly and soon there was a demand from passionate home cooks for a domestic product as good as their original commercial cookers.
ILVE has come a long way since those early days. Our cooking appliances are now amongst the world's finest and can be found in some of the most sophisticated homes throughout the globe. And not just for their beautiful design either. The consistent blue flame of solid brass burners, the cool touch of an oven door and the delight of tepanyaki cooking, are all testimony to our exceptional attention to detail. In short, a passion for innovation and craftsmanship permeates everything we do.
24 Month Warranty
For piece if mind, all ILVE Appliances are covered by a 24 month manufacturers warranty. Our National Service Centre in Sydney is dedicated to ensuring that any of your needs and expectations are met to keep you cooking on your kitchens centrepiece, your ILVE!
Size (120 CM WIDE)
When you really want people to know your serious about cooking and really make a statement in your kitchen, , ILVE's 120cm sized appliances are perfect for any task in the kitchen and the occasional entertaining.
11 Multifunction Modes
ILVE Electric ovens come standard with Eleven functions offering you complete versatility from roasting to baking to grilling when cooking for friends, family & most importantly yourself!
Cooking Levels 5
Cooking multiple items is made easier with ILVE ovens consisting of five cooking levels allowing you to personally choose where your food needs to be in the cavity to get the perfect result
Brass Burners
All ILVE gas burners are made using solid brass with technical precision resulting in a superior performance. Brass is denser than commonly used aluminum. As such it is far more stable at high cooking temperatures and will not oxidise or pit, meaning ILVE burner holes will never clog with impurities. This would be evidenced in a more yellow flame and less heat output.
Cool Touch
Your safety is important to us, thats why our oven doors are triple glazes and have a cool to touch surface assisted by a cavity cooling system that helps cool down the oven after you're done cooking
Digital Display
Tell your oven how long you want to cook for or just keep track of your cooking time with ILVE's digital display clock.
Expert Mode
Some ILVE ovens come standard with pre-set options but if you want to be in complete control of your oven, expert mode allows you to control the mode, temperature and time of your meals.
Flame Failure
All ILVE cooktops and Built-in BBQ's are fitted with a safety gas cut off device called flame failure which disables the gas flow to the burner to avoid gas leaking and accidental gas flow.
High Heat
Its important when cooking for your appliance to reach and maintain the required level of heat to cook efficiently
LPG Gas
This ILVE Appliance can be provided in LPG gas preset* (ILVE BBQ's are preset to LPG).
Natural Gas
ILVE gas appliances come standard preset to Natural Gas* (except ILVE BBQ's - they can be converted if required).
Fast Pre-heat
ILVE ovens maintain a European standard A+ energy rating, thats why ILVE ovens are equipped with a fast pre-heat mode to assist your oven to reach cooking temperature quicker and more efficiently.
Catalytic Cleaning Liners
To assist in cleaning your oven cavity, this oven chamber has catalytic cook and clean liners that will catch cooking fat and grease and keep the oven enamel protected making the oven easy to clean
Grade Stainless Steel
As you should expect from any premium appliance brand, ILVE appliances are constructed from AS304 stainless steel. Why AS304? it's a surgical grade steel supervious to bacteria and surface rust erosion.
Infinity Wok Burner
Since the 1960's, ILVE has been renowned for its powerful Brass WOK 'infinity' burner. Why infinity? Being made from solid brass, the gas holes will never clog and you'll always get a clear consistent blue flame. The WOK burner has a power output of 5 kw/h.
Hand Made
Synonyms with quality and precision, ILVE cooking appliances are assembled by hand by our master technicians and craftsmen at our factory a stones throw from Venice, Italy. Each appliance is then tested before its gets packaged so it can make its way to the home chef's of Australia.

Renowned fiddle player Paul Anderson delighted residents and staff at a Deeside care home with a visit.
He went through his repertoire at Balhousie Alastrean in Tarland.
Paul, a Tarland resident with close connections to the home, said he welcomed the opportunity to put in some practice ahead of the Music Hall concert he plans on May 3 to raise funds for Friends of ANCHOR and the cancer treatment unit.
He is recovering after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma last year.
The fiddler said: "I always enjoy my visits to Balhousie Alastrean.
"It's lovely to treat residents and staff to an impromptu performance - it's heartwarming for me and for them and this was good practice for my forthcoming fundraiser."
Becks Brice, the care home's activities co-ordinator, added: "Paul has made a few visits to the home and it's always special to have him play for us.
"It puts a big smile on everyone's face, and of course music is a valuable tool for our residents with dementia. Studies prove that it is great for reducing anxiety and depression, and curbs anxiety."

With the première of the exclusive Nollywood UK movie being just around the corner, cast and crew of the movie came together for a press conference/pre-première party which was held at The Thistle hotel in Marble Arch in London.
The event, which allowed press and supporters to network with the cast and crew, was very intimate and personable. There were speakers to give brief talks on the social and cultural issues addressed in the movie such as training and raising children in the UK.
Amongst those in attendance were actresses Theodora Ibekwe of Shameful Deceit and Yvonne Hays as well director of Labo Femi Fadeyi and producer Roseline Sanni-Ajose.
"If you want to be the best make sure you bring the best around you", say Femi Fadeyi of the cast that he worked with. "It's not easy to work with different tribes but we have Caribbeans, Ghanaians, Congolese as well as Nigerians. – the actors had tremendous flexibility"
The film which is set to première in London's Odeon Cinema Bugsby
Way, Greenwich, London, SE10 0QJ o n Friday August 2nd 2013 is one not to be missed – expected at the première is Nollywood movie veteran, Jide Kosoko amongst others.

Create an amazing Amazon business. Less than 5 hours a week from anywhere.

- Finance requirements
- Franchise Fee: $1,495
- Available areas
We offer so much more than flashy 'How To' videos. Our expert mentors will help you every step of the way! No experience necessary. We show you how.
This will suit someone that wants their own online business. My clients make great money from their eBay sites, Amazon and On-line shops. I make money from helping my clients import products. The more successful they are, the more successful I am. Amazon creates millionaires every month.
From years of experience I know the most difficult part of finding a product and importing is dealing with Chinese factories. They hold the key to cheap products and developing your own product ideas into reality but if you try and deal with them from overseas it's almost impossible. Many people try through websites such as Alibaba and get stung with high prices and poor quality and sometimes end up losing all their money.
This is where I can help you. I have local Chinese negotiators on my staff that work directly for me and will negotiate prices on your behalf and check the quality. Let me explain how important this is in the importing process.
Have you ever been to a foreign market when you have been on vacation? You always feel like you are paying "tourist prices" while the locals are paying less than half the price. When you try, and negotiate for products via email from the USA with a Chinese factory you will end up paying "tourist prices."
We help our clients get the best possible price. We check the quality to make sure they are getting good quality and the factory is not trying any funny business. I don't know why people would even try to buy in China without an agent like us being that friendly face on the ground dealing and negotiating with the factories.
If you live outside of the USA you can also sell on Amazon in the USA. We can help you set up your account. Amazon will store the products at one of their warehouses and even send the product out for you to the customer. So now you can sell in your own market and the USA as well without having to pack one box yourself.
What are the headaches of owning a normal business? Employees, shopfronts, vans, having to be open 9-5, trying to collect money from customers. You don't have any of these with this business. You can live anywhere and Amazon will put the money into your account every 2 weeks.
So, what do you get as a AMZ Importing selling online?
- Initial live online training session where we will cover how to choose products that will sell well on Amazon and other online platforms.
- 1 on 1 follow up training sessions discussing the products you are interested in.
- Lists of hot products that we have already sourced from trusted factories in China.
- A coach/mentor that will work directly with you and get quotes for you on the products that you are interested in.
- I will help you import your product and deal with freight forwarders and customs.
- Our staff will help you set up an Amazon account.
- You get the opportunity to go with us to the Canton Fair in China to see thousands of products.
One example is our client Rachel. She took this product, put a private label on it, and sold it on Amazon. It now sells more that $50,000 per month online! Read what she had to say below:
"Last summer, my family went to New York for a month all paid for by my product. For that whole time I was away, my new business just kept running. Customers would buy products on my website and on Amazon, and Amazon would send out the products. Every 2 weeks Amazon would put money into my account. I have no office or store rent to pay, no employees to manage and pay, no royalty and best of all NO BOSS. This is truly the best business to be in. Its fun too. I have set up my phone now so every time I get a sale it gives be a beep.
Nothing is better than taking my kids for a bike ride and my phone beeps letting me know I have made more money."
Remember. It's a one-time fee. No more to pay. No royalty! No annual fees!
You don't have to travel anywhere for the training and mentoring. You just need a computer or iPad with internet connection and a head set so we can talk. We don't like to train a big group (most time it's just 3 new clients) at one time so get in early to secure your place.
So, what are you waiting for? Millions of products are being imported every day and millions more are being sold on Amazon and online. Why can't that be you? It can. Let me show you how.

The number of anti-Muslim attacks on mosques in the Netherlands has more than doubled between 2015 and 2016, according to a report by a leading Turkish university.
The report, by Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University released on November 27, using Netherlands Human Rights data, said that in 2016, there were 72 attacks on mosques in the Netherlands compared to 28 attacks the year before.
Racism and anti-Muslim crimes continue to be an important human rights issue in the country, it said. It also highlighted another report released in 2017, which said that migrants in the country felt less safe compared with the Dutch, and the group which felt least safe was the Surinamese, followed by the Turks.
A far-right group calling itself Het Identitair Verzet Native Resistance has led Anti-Muslim vandalism against Muslim owned buildings, the group stunts include locking and trespassing on Muslim schools, tArgentinaeting worshippers and mosques.
According to research by Ineke van der Valk, an author and researcher at the University of Amsterdam, a third 475 of mosques in the Netherlands have experienced at least one incident of vandalism, threatening letters, attempted arson, or other aggressive actions in the past 10 years.
In February 2016, five men threw two Molotov cocktails at a mosque. Some 30 people, including children, were inside the mosque at the time but no one was injured. Dutch courts called it a "terrorist act."
In December of the same year, a building linked to the Association of Islamic Communities was set on fire. Police suspected it was a hate crime.
The Party for Freedom PVV and its leader, Geert Wilders, advocate for policies that critics say discriminate against Muslims including banning the Qur'an, taxing the hijab, shutting down all mosques, and disallowing further immigration of Muslims to the country.
Wilders and other PVV members maintain their policies are not bigoted towards Muslims, but rather are aimed at the religion of Islam.
On November 29, 2016, a majority in the Dutch House of Representatives voted to partially prohibit face-covering attire such as the niqab. Critics of the law stated that it was motivated by anti-Muslim sentiment.
After the Dutch election this year on March 17, PVV secured 13.1 percent of 20 seats in the Dutch House of Representatives.

Happy New Year to you and yours! I don't make a lot of resolutions but one I'm going to do this year is stop talking when someone continues to swipe their smart phone but I don't think they'll notice as long as their internet connection continues to work. 🙂
Jan 01, 2014 @ 13:34:14
LOL… I like that one 🙂
You all have quite a bit of snow! We received a little bit today, but the girls were disappointed that it wasn't enough to really play in. It looks like your puppies are thoroughly enjoying it.
I have not put together a list of resolutions yet, but I have been putting a lot of thought into prioritizing my life. Loosing my dad this fall really changed my perspective.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year–

I'll send the girls some of our snow… we have more today and already another couple of inches 😉 The pups especially Chase loves the snow 🙂
I am sorry again about your father and grandfather this year. I understand. Hubbys Uncle who we are close to died last night. We will miss him 😦
I look forward to seeing all you accomplish this year 🙂
Blessings in 2014 🙂
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is so hard to say goodbye. The memories are a comfort, but are also bittersweet because you know that they will not be there to share any more moments of joy.
The girls would love for you to send snow, but I would rather that you keep it. I can do without the extra chores! My cowboy is sick right now so we are running one man short at the feed yard which always makes life interesting…
Take care,
Jan 03, 2014 @ 15:07:02
I know you understand and I appreciate that 🙂
I won't send any snow, as long as the girls know I tried 😉
I hope your cowboy is better soon and back out to helping ya 🙂

OMG what can I say about this group - truely AMAZING! Our wedding was last weekend and I can honestly say this group absolutely made the evening. We had 110 guests and the dance floor was full the whole night. I cant wait to find another excuse to book them again! They even downloaded the music between sets for us as well. We just gave them a list and it took the pressure off us. I cant speak highly enough of them - well worth any money you pay for them - do it!

Wedding Date: August 4, 2018
The Mermaids were so amazing at our wedding in July 2007 when we celebrated our TENTH anniversary this year we decided to pull out all the stops again and have a huge party. Wouldn't be the same without The Mermaids and Pauline Berry and her amazing team were happy to come to Christchurch again. We celebrated on 22 July 2017 on one of the worst nights weather wise that could have happened. about 20 guests couldn't get there due to flooding! we will had an amazing night! Once again Pauline was happy to discuss with me via email what I had planned for the night and what my vision was for the evening. We were just so delighted they were able to celebrate with us once again! and once again our guests adored them all. I noticed there was a lot of selfie taking going on with members of the group and everyone was on the dance floor virtually all night!The Mermaids made our "black tie' magnificent 10th anniversary party a blast from beginning to end and again people are still drooling about it all. We love you - in fact I've already booked you for my birthday party next May 2019!!!! it will be a great night with you performing your magic.
Wedding Date: July 22, 2017
Best night ever!
We booked the Mermaids for our wedding. We had around 70 people in our lounge room, with the band along the front wall. We have a villa so I was unsure how it would go in terms of the music noise levels, fitting everyone in, types of music for a crowd ranging from early 20's to 75.
Pauline was really professional, reassuring and flexible from the onset. I felt like nothing was going to be a problem and if I just left it to her, everything would run like clockwork - from the volume of the band, to being flexible with start times etc. The music was nothing short of awesome, and through the night we had close to everyone at the wedding, hands in the air, dancing like there was no tomorrow! When the band had finished their sets for the night, they left the music going for us as there was no rush to pack down and head out. This was exactly what we had hoped for. I now know that fitting 70 dancing people + band is not a problem at all, and if you want a band that everyone is going to love, and rave about, book these guys. They are really really great!

Breakthrough. The Life Changing Magic Of Sorting Your Sh*t Out (Ghent, NY – June 13-14th, 2019)
David Hieatt returns to the farm for an entirely new workshop experience.
Do Breakthrough will take place this June in the inspiring setting here at Little Ghent Farm. The two-day workshop will be led by David Hieatt, co-founder of the DO Lectures held each year in Wales, UK and jeans maker Hiut Denim.
David and his wife Clare started the Do Lectures because they were curious to find out why some people reach their potential, and others do not.
They have listened to ten years of Do Lectures (most of which you can view free online here) involving hundreds of speakers, and applied what they have learnt to their own lives and businesses. The lectures showed them that there were techniques, methodologies, and ways of thinking that can make a genuine difference. And yes, help others make that breakthrough.
The workshop was beta tested in 2017. David and Clare have focused on the experience being useful, practical and deliver results for attendees.
Of course, it will take time to know that for sure. But the emails and support they received were compelling and have been since.
"Thank you so much for all your hard work and for everyone there for making us feel so welcome and valued. I can honestly say that the Breakthrough days have changed my life. I returned to my world having shed long held emotional luggage and, just as important, carrying a trunk load of practical and achievable tips on what to do next."
Join David and the farm team on June 13th and 14th for two magical, inspiring and potentially life-changing days.

Why Attend?
When we start sorting our sh*t out, something happens. We feel we have taken control of our lives. And, it feels good. It's empowering. And it feels like at long last the words have stopped, and the action has begun. And then each day, things just get better.
You may have tried to make a change before, but for whatever reason, it just didn't stick. But, Breakthrough only happens when the desire is strong, and the techniques used to understand the human brain and how best to hack it. Old habits require new thinking.
The Do Lectures has spent the last ten years listening to some of the most incredible speakers on the planet. They have shared their secrets and provided clues on how to Breakthrough when you feel stuck, or if you are on the cusp of making an important change.
This will be an incredible two days. Things will never be the same again.
You Are Not Late For Anything.
Did you ever, you know, say the words?: "It's too late for me."
Even for just the teeniest-weeniest briefest of moments?
Did you ever want to run to the top of the nearest mountain and scream:
Haven't you? Honest? Really?
Did you ever see your friends do well and a little part of you thought: Oh boy, secretly I wish that was me?
Did you ever feel time flying by while progress seemed to be slowing down?
Did you ever think how the heck am I only here?
Did you ever think, well, you may have to get a Plan B?
But what if you have been telling yourself the wrong story?
Oh boy, if you only knew.
What if you are not stuck?
And what if you are not late for anything?
What if your best ideas, happiest times, best moments actually lay ahead of you.
What if you could learn how to get out of your own way? Just imagine what you could do.
What if you could Breakthrough?
This seminar has been ten years in the making. It does not rely on inspiration or motivation alone, but rather it pulls in pioneering thinking from leading human behaviour studies around the world. And, provides you with simple ways to apply them to your daily life.
Our desire to Breakthrough has always been strong, but the techniques we've used to make it happen have been weak. And so, mostly, we fail. But what if we learnt better methodologies, and applied them? Then we would start to see the results that we crave.
For Example.
Every January many people make New Year's Resolutions. And by the first week of February between 70-80% on average will have given up on them.
It turns out willpower isn't the best tool to break a habit. And yet each January we use the very same technique that didn't work the previous year. And yes, we all know how that ends, right?
Willpower Is Sugar.
It gives you a short burst of determination, but then it runs out of steam. Habits are hard to break because they have become a part of daily lives over a long period. Habits need a better technique than willpower alone can provide.
Design, Hack, Build, Maintain The Life You Most Want.
But what if you could learn a set of techniques, practices and methodologies that could deliver the Breakthrough you most want in all parts of your life?
What if you could design, hack, build and maintain the life you most want?
This two-day seminar is all about getting our act together. Because when we do that, everything gets better. There is magic when we decide and act.
The Thinking.
Three Pillars of Mastery.
To master ourselves there are three strengths that we need to gain. Unless we master them, we will not become the best version of ourselves. We will find Breakthrough hard to achieve.
Think of them as three legs on a stool.
Each one is required to be of equal length and strength. And therefore, of equal importance. So, when we sit down on it, it is balanced. This allows us to concentrate on doing our best work we have ever done.
They allow us to concentrate on the problem in front of us, not underneath us.
1, Emotional fitness.
2, Physical fitness.
3, Financial fitness.
Emotional fitness.
Lots of people go to a gym to make their body stronger. But what if each day you learnt how to make yourself emotionally stronger? What if you joined a gym for the mind.
Physical fitness.
If you want to be strong in mind, you need to be strong in body. How do you make your default to find time so that you make your body stronger, more flexible, leaner each day?
Financial Fitness.
There will be those who are asking why is financial fitness one of the legs. It's the thing we least want to talk about, and the thing we most worry about. That's why.
Our relationship with money isn't always healthy. If we are paid a lot, we tend to spend to that new level. We often think we need to work crazy hard to make money, and yet if we look at when we made the most money, it was a small moment of inspiration.
If we are going to argue with our loved ones, there is more chance it will be about money than any other single thing. Money is the biggest cause of stress for people.
Selling time can and does indeed help you earn a high income. But you are selling time. Your most limited resource. And time doesn't scale. Isn't that a truth?
So, what do you have to do to become a master of your money?
1, Spend less than you earn.
2, Save a set amount each month.
3, Understand the magic of small actions.
4, How to choose a great financial advisor.
5, Diversify.
6, Create assets.
7, Have a 6-month money safety-net.
8, Be an investor, not a consumer.
9, Start now.
10, Make your money make money.
Crisis Makes for a Great Editor.
The technical term for this moment is this: S.O.S.O.
Sort Our Sh*t Out.
We are more likely to want to change if we have to. If we have no choice. A turning point in our lives is helpful because it forces us to make a change. Humans don't like change. They will do anything to avoid it. Having these moments in our lives is important, even if at the time they were the worst of times. It turns out the worst of times help us find the best of times.
The Destination Needs To Be Known.
Most people know when they go to a train station, where they want to go to. Almost 100%. But most people can't say the same of their career, their business or even their life. And because we have no clear goal, we end up in a place we didn't want to be in. And then say to ourselves with surprise: "This isn't where I want to be."
To Change Your Life, You Must First Change Your Habits.
We are the sum-total of our habits. So how do we take control of what we repeatedly do? Because what we repeatedly do shapes our days, our bodies and our minds. But breaking a habit is harder than just carrying on with it. Habits are created over time, and we don't even know they are habits until we try and opt out of them. Opting out is hard. Why does it take on average 66 days to break a habit? Some take shorter. Some take longer. But a deep understanding is needed to break a habit. Willpower won't do it.
"We Make Our Habits. Then Our Habits Make Us."
The mistake most people make is trying to change a behaviour and not the person you need to become to make the new habit stick. Imagination is the superpower to changing new habits. Why? Because 95% of habits are sub-consciously driven (right brain). Basically, we don't even think about them. We just auto-pilot them. To change them, we try and use the left brain. The odds are not stacked in its favour. We need to imagine the person we need to be before we can make the change happen.
What Makes You Cross?
This is one of the best and simplest ways to break a habit. Jerry Seinfeld's productivity secret is better known as 'Don't break the chain'. Spend some amount of time doing the desired activity every day, when you do, cross off that day on a calendar. This creates a chain of X's showing your progress. The more X's there are, the more motivated you are to keep going. This effect is called loss aversion. Basically, we haven't come this far to only come this far. The progress is visible. And it's addictive, in a good way.

After much of dilly-dallying as to go birding or not, myself and my classmates decided to give an open invite to our classmates to go birding to Kaliveli wetland. The last minute inputs from the seniors in college saying that the place is "Papad-dry" and we could not see any bird did not quite dishearten us and nine of us left at 0600hrs from the college only to end up waiting on the ECR till 0700hrs for the bus, generally with blaring music to come by. When one finally came, he asked us to get down at PIMS and said the tank was a kilometer from there. On reaching PIMS, we were told by a local "Chai-shop" owner that the wetland is some 5 odd km from there (it wasn't so much though!) and arranged a share auto to go there. Nine of us got in and reached the tank by 0900hrs. Having fixed the autowallah for our return trip, we set off into the vast wetland. Where the water was, no one knew!
A small orientation to a couple of new inductees to the world of bird watching was facilitated and the strict dos and don'ts were made clear. The place, as our dear seniors had told, was indeed dry to the core and of the many miniature tanks carved out into the flat wetland only one had water in it, a pair of grey herons, sandpipers etc greeted us. A lone pied kingfisher female sat there for over one hour watching nine of us scampering around watching the birds with just two binocs to spare!
By around 1000hrs, a lone falcon was seen taking off with something in the talons and as it was against the sun, we were able to get only a short glimpse of it before we lost sight of it. A little later, a flock of eleven spoonbills came in from the NW part of the tank and began to descend, before everyone had a good look at them, someone pointed out at another flock of large birds soaring in the sky, soon binocs exchanged hands and the birds were identified as painted storks which were gaining height on the thermal, which I guess were in plenty! By the time the birds were identified, the spoonbills were nowhere in sight! We could not have seen them even if they landed in this huge wetland.
After a frugal breakfast of biscuits and water, we seemed to have made progress by covering some distance only to be stopped by a pair of Kentish plovers among 30 red wattled lapwings in the dry grass. Another good half an hour was spent with this very obliging pair of birds.
By 1100hrs, the sun needless to say, was beating down our backs and the new inductees were starting to squat on the ground whenever the group stopped- the first indications of wanting to return started to show!
Having pestered them to continue walking, we did a loop in the baked, dry tank (don't know if it was the tank bed!) which was about 1km and reached the place where we were supposed to be picked up by the very friendly autowallah. Having bargained with him, he agreed to drop us to the university and this time, he had got a friend who very obligingly offered to take us to another wetland with lot of birds. Something told me that he was not all that a nice chap and I declined the offer saying we were really hungry and wanted to return. My suspicion came true when we got down, the autowallah a local, living near the wetland offered to take us on a bike the next time we go and also gave us pin point locations as to where to see many birds. On further questioning- "I go there with guns to shoot birds" came the reply. He also told that the place is a bird reserve which attracts a lot of "Paravais" when it is full of water. I am not quite sure if he meant the taste!

Trail Etiquette Tips for Dog Owners – by Dr John Sudduth
10 Guidelines I Follow as a Veterinarian and Dog Owner When I Use the Trails
- Realize that Dog Ownership is Voluntary. Having a dog is one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had. And while that is true, we all must realize that dog ownership is also voluntary and a big responsibility. Not only do you have the new responsibility to care for a living, breathing companion that has needs, it is also true that we are now responsible for their behavior, how they interact with society, other dogs and their environment. Furthermore, it also means that due to their presence, my personal space and freedom is also impacted. Before getting a dog you would be wise to consider whether or not your personal lifestyle and freedom is ready and willing to accept those restrictions and responsibilities. There are many dog owners that get caught up in the cuteness of the moment but do not consider the far-reaching responsibilities that lie ahead. Therefore, taking all these aspects into consideration, choose soberly and wisely.
- Consider Carefully Whether Your Dog is Physically and Behaviorally Suited for Trail Running. In some cases, you as a dog guardian may be putting them and yourself at risk for unintended consequences. If your dog shows fear or aggressive tendencies, and/or ignores recall attempts, you must take this into consideration and choose the right location and right time of day when altercations are less likely to happen.
- Accept the high responsibility to manage your particular dog with its unique behavioral and physical capabilities and limitations. Avoid conflicts at all costs. What this means is that as a responsible, courteous citizen, you are constantly on the lookout for potential conflict between humans, other dogs and wildlife. Many times while out on the trail we may be unaware of what is around the bend. Leash laws exist for a reason. Following the rules means fewer conflicts and can prevent injury to yourself, your loved ones and others. The standard that must apply before a dog can be considered off leash is recall 100% of the time. If you have to recall more than once, then your dog should not be allowed off leash. This, of course requires training and when it comes to your dog, school is never out for the summer! Constant training is required.
- Being a responsible trail user also means managing our children and us in responsible ways. Remember it's not just about managing our dogs responsibly, it also means we check our own behavior and that of our children and observe responsible ways to interact with the environment, other people and dogs. Here are a few tips: 1) Teach your children to avoid running up to unfamiliar dogs to pet them. Always ask permission from the owner before attempting this and teach your kiddos to do the same. 2) Owners should always communicate loudly and clearly whether permission to touch, pet or cuddle your dog is granted. Always ask before you assume that the owner and the dog are okay with approaching them. Some people have the inherent belief that all dogs exist to be petted and hugged. Nothing could be further from the truth. "Stay back", "he is not friendly", should be respected by all parties. Children must be under control of their guardian. Perhaps, "It's okay, you can pet him" could be another clear guideline. But all guidelines should be communicated loudly and without ambiguity. Furthermore, not all people and their particular dog think it cute or okay to allow another dog to run up to them, sniff, lick or jump on or play. Eventually, allowing this may come back to bite you and/or your dog. Both parties should agree before allowing this behavior to occur.
- Choose the Right Equipment for Trail Use with Your Dog. A strong, sturdy, non-retractable lead is required for best control. Slip your hand through the loop so you don't loose your grip. Harnesses may give owners better control and Gentle Leaders and muzzles may be appropriate for some dogs.
- Training is Not Optional and is On-going. Training your people (including children) and your dog are both necessary for a more successful and positive experience out on the trail. Enroll your dog in a training class and realize that one training class is perfection not made. It requires on-going daily effort for a successful outcome. It's a responsibility of time and money that you accepted when you chose to get a dog. But of course it's not all drudgery. Nothing is more fun and pleasant than a well-behaved, well-adjusted dog that obeys the rules. Your dog wants leadership. Provide it for them in kind, positive and fun ways.
- It's Our Choice and Responsibility to Respect the Environment and Leave No Trace. Realize that we all contribute to the environment that we create. No one wants to live in a dirty, filthy, disease-ridden environment. That is why we have laws that prohibit littering and why we incessantly preach owners to pick up their dog's poop and carry it out, not leave in a bag along the trail for someone else to do it. It's why we prepare appropriately before we use the trails and ask government to provide the appropriate infrastructure of bathroom facilities. It's why we are willing and glad to contribute our tax dollars to provide adequate maintenance of our parks and trail system for everyone's benefit. We will live in the environment we create. Act responsibly for a more positive experience.
- We Prepare to Adequately Protect Ourselves in the Event of a Conflict with Other Dogs. When I run, bike or hike, I always carry a deterrent in the form of a small supersonic horn that can be used if my dog or I are being charged by an unknown dog. A blast from the horn is enough to deter most (but not all) situations. Just remember to forearm yourself before a potential conflict arises, if possible. If a dog charges, you have a few seconds to react. I run or bike with a horn easily accessible and put my thumb on the trigger as I approach a potential conflict. That's the only way you have time to react. Other forms of deterrents include pepper spray and the El Paso County Control Officers carry a Zap Taser. I have never used either (I have both), but have used the supersonic horn several times to ward off approaching and charging dogs. Usually, you cannot outrun or out bike a dog (there is always exceptions but don't bet on it).
- In the event of conflict, avoid placing your hands, legs and arms in the way of injury. Use the horn deterrent, pepper spray or Zap Taser as a first line defense. If you ignore this it is likely that everyone goes to the ER – people and animals.
- Know the telephone number of the Animal Control Department. If you call 911 they will delay immediate access by transferring the call. Program this on your phone. Take pictures as appropriate and contact the appropriate department in your community. Usually this is Animal Control. If you have not done this, you need to do this now before getting out on the trail again.

Thank you for posting this. This is so important and I wish and hope that people with dogs follow these rules. I do carry pepper spray on me for this reason at all times.
Good tips and advice. I've had plenty of encounters on the trails that easily could have escalated to serious harm. Dog owners need to be able to control their dogs! On more than one occasion, my husband and I have been charged by another owners off leash dogs while hiking with our dogs on leads. The owner was eventually able to get leads on her dogs with my husband's help, but, her dogs overpowered her multiple times knocking her down. Both dogs got away from her, again, and ran off. The young woman was visibly upset, but, seemed to have NO clue why this was such a serious situation. We were on a high, narrow trail with little wiggle room. Falling there would certainly be a fatal event. This owner put herself, other hikers, and all of our dogs in real danger. NO ONE should take any animal in public places, if they are incompetent to safely handle them! The scariest thing about this whole encounter was that the owner still refused to acknowledge her error and was completely ignorant regarding the danger being imposed on everyone else. Common sense and courtesy goes a long way to prevent very serious consequences!
I have a friendly, older border collie that is well behaved and fun to be around. She loves to trot along with me on the trails with her tail held high, I always ask others who have their dog on a leash, walkers without dogs, and anyone I suspect of fearing animals if they would like me to put her on a leash and have not met with any bad circumstances. It is unfortunate now with the leash laws that we are not able to enjoy this trail experience unless we go to into the mountains outside of Colorado Springs and outside of El Paso County.
Anyone know where we can find that type of horn for trail use locally or online?

The Reduced On Seattle Search Engine Optimization
The instant you get interested in upping your web site's traffic, you will hear the 3 magic words: search engine marketing. Seattle SEO is not a fad its benefits possess a proven track record. It is far from unknown, either. With some simple tips you could start increasing your web site's google search performance immediately.
Try switching to writing in search engine optimisation style to further improve your quest results. In Seattle SEO style, you repeat keywords as much since you can, as long as your article flow is not interrupted as well as your style remains unstilted. Keep in mind that google search spiders don't actually read your articles they just search it for valid keywords.
Do not run afoul from the spam filters modern search engines like yahoo use once you optimize your web site. These filters – actually complex decision-making algorithms, analyze website content and flag pages for omission after they look like light on real content. To avert this sinister fate you should limit the amount of search engine marketing tweaking you employ.
Seattle SEO is just not a 1-time thing, therefore you always must work maintenance on your blog or website. Check constantly for broken links, images that won't load, and videos which were taken off the host source along with other broken paths on your own pages. Search engines penalize sites that display broken links, so stay diligent here.
A good way to increase search engine marketing is usually to make deals and familiarize yourself with other websites. You should talk with the leaders or makers of other leading websites and request should they could give a link aimed at your website. In turn you must do exactly the same thing.
If possible keep CSS and JavaScript in separate files on the web sever. In this way search engines are able to find and index the material on your own HTML websites faster. Also, having more content than code on a website increases a page's rank in search results.
Seattle Search Engine Optimization practices are something you need to agree to. Each year the algorithms change, so you need to stay on top of things and continuously learn. The things you did just last year may not work this current year, so you'll ought to learn new tactics, in order to optimize your web site and articles.
Link to pages offering similar or related products or services. Target your marketing to likely customers by supplying a hyperlink to your site from pages offering goods or services related to whatever you offer. By way of example, if your consumer needs a mattress, they are going to likely need sheets and blankets too.
Build a free calculator, e-book or other electronic product to present away on your website. Make certain it features your site address and company name so people comes back for related products. Post links to the free product on forums associated with your field to drive more visitors aimed at your website.
While it might appear arcane at first, search engine optimisation is very not complicated. Tactics like the ones you might have just read about can produce a big improvement inside your web site's search engine ranking positions. In the end, good Seattle SEO is just a matter of knowing getting the most out of your web site and the effort you set with it.
