Chinna Babu beauty hits out at men for 'dirty judgement'
Tamil actress Priya Bhavani Shankar, who was recently seen in Karthi-starrer 'Chinna Babu' ('Kadaikutty Singam' in Tamil), uploaded a pic the other day on Instagram. She was seen in a semi-transparent outfit in the pic. This piqued some of the misogynists out there, who decried her alleged fall from grace.
Done with all the trolling, Priya finally hit out: "Thank you very much but I don't want to be a dream girl to a man of such filthy judgements. All the best to find another hopeful dream girl."
"Being happy never goes out of style," the budding actress recently said in one of her posts.

Catch the craze! Airzooka Air Guns are a major blast. One of the most fun toys to be enjoyed by kids from nine to ninety! Airzooka is a hand held fun gun that fires a ball of air up to 50 feet.
You will laugh your socks off as seemingly from nowhere, you are able to mess up a persons hair, or ruffle their shirt or papers. They won't know what hit them! Use the Airzooka to sneak attack your friends, boss, or even total strangers.
The Aizooka is based on the principals of the vortex generator. The Airzooka requires no batteries or electricity, since it works with an elasticated air launcher. Pull back and release the launcher like a catapult, firing the ball of air out of the air gun. Assemble your Airzooka in seconds and because it shoots air, you will never run out of ammo.

Osukaru is a quite new Swedish band, which plays melodic hard rock in West-coast style. 'Triumphant' is the follow-up album to 'Salvation' from 2011. Osukaro has a new line-up since the debut album and the only remaining member is creator Oz Osukaru (EYE, ex KATANA) on guitars, keyboards, backing vocals. This time there are two vocalists and Fredrik Werner (ex MR. ARTIST) is one of them and he handles guitars as well. The other singer is the charming Cecilia Camuii (PANORAMA). Adrian Lopez (PANORAMA) – piano, keyboards, Jens Björk (ex MR.ARTIST) – saxophone, Ryan Coyle – drums, percussion on tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. 8, 11 and Axel Ryberg (PANORAMA) – drums drums on tracks 4, 9, 10, 12 are the other musicians in the band.
I had a hard time after my first spin of 'Triumphant' because the vocals weren't satisfying for me at all. Fredrik and Cecilia don't keep the same high level as the music does. Because this is a musically a very strong album with a lot of variables and loops. The music has a very strong AOR reference, with spices of a jazzy saxophone, which makes this album a little more exciting after several spins.
Very independent and with a sound of their own and it's not similar with other bands in the genre, which all in all makes it a pretty pleasant spending time with 'Triumphant'. Unfortunately the uneven and mediocre vocals pull down my general impression, but I am a vocal geek, who has very high standards for the vocals in the AOR genre. Maybe too high this time...
There are some gems for posterity that I want to recommended; tracks: "Walk in Balance", "Holding On To Memories", "Mafia Rules" and title track "Triumphant". Extra credits to the splendid guitar work throughout the album. This is an album that grows in each new listening.
If you like diverse genres of melodic rock music and want to discover some new and fresh influences; this is an album worth checking out. Nice work.

The mug of Foster's slid across the table at the Lazy Flamingo, aided by perhaps a quarter inch too many layers of varnish. I stopped it before it hit the wall at the edge of the booth. S similarly stuck a hand out just in time to keep his mug from colliding with the Bug's virgin strawberry daiquiri. S and I made a quick motion of a toast to each other and took the first sip of Foster's while the Bug busied herself with trying to lift the dollop of whipped cream off the top of the daiquiri with her straw. *Plop*. The recalcitrant whipped cream slid from its perch for the third time and landed back on top of the drink. I handed Bug my spoon. She scowled, "Don't spoil my game."
Fatigue sat just below the surface of my consciousness; S and I had been up until 3 am on a late night snapper fishing run, during which I had landed three beautiful mutton snappers and a spectacular case of seasickness. Don't be bashful; don't be shy. Lean over the edge and let it fly! The mantra from the previous night had tickled the Bug to no end, "Mama, did you really honk off the back of the boat?!" Her toothy giggle revealed that she had succeeded in transferring some of the whipped cream from the daiquiri to her mouth.
"Yes; I really honked off the back of the boat. Did you really honk all over that bed in the emergency room?"
Bug scowled at me for the second time, "Hey I was really sick! And I had to get a shot!" I winked at her. She screwed up her face once more and then giggled. The night before last had been spent with Bug at the emergency room in Ft. Myers, after she developed a nasty fever. I had been leery about visiting an inner city ER at 2 am on a Saturday – thinking that a seven-year-old with a virus would wait in line behind a fair share of auto wreck and gunshot victims. But 104 degrees was more than I felt like I could handle on my own and in the end they had fawned over her like a princess, and an hour and a magic shot later her fever was down and she fell asleep on the way back to the condo. And today, we'd taken a short walk on the beach at the Sanibel lighthouse and were huddling at our favorite watering hole on the island, awaiting conch fritters and grilled grouper.
"Daddy, how big was that fish you caught?"
As S measured out about 14 inches with his hands, explaining how the length of a fish is measured from the tip of the nose to the caudal peduncle, Bug grinned like she was up to something. With her fingers, she measured out a span of three inches and leaned forward, conspiratorially. "It was Horatio the Honkapuss!" The giggle erupted from her.
Last weekend, we sat in the same booth at the Lazy Flamingo, with S's parents. I told the story, and we raised a glass to the Bug and to strawberry daiquiris with whipped cream, and to Horatio the Honkapuss. The varnish was a couple layers thicker. The grouper was temptingly fresh. The Foster's was still cold and the conch fritters still delicious. All that was missing was the goggle-eyed grin and the belly-laugh of a little girl. I'm not sure the place will ever feel the same to us, but I'll always feel grateful for the memory it's given me.
Love you, Bug, and I miss you very much.

Boba Fett has officially made his return to the new Star Wars canon. And he's being played by Jon Hamm. It may not be in a movie (yet) but the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy has returned in the new novel, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View. The book collects 40 shorts stories from all around the Star Wars universe, and one of those stories just so happens to be about Boba Fett. Now, a new excerpt from the book has been released, previewing Jon Hamm's performance.
USA Today revealed the clip, which comes from the story titled Added Muscle. This particular story was written by Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series). As it turns out, this story actually takes place during the famous scene that was added for the 1997 Star Wars special editions, which features Jabba the Hutt confronting Han Solo. In the background, Boba Fett appeared briefly in that scene. This story tells that event from his perspective. Dini feels that Jon Hamm was the perfect guy to bring Boba Fett to life for this particular story.
"As Don Draper, Jon excelled at playing a character who was ruthless, cunning, and yet undeniably charismatic. There's a lot of that in Fett. Boba is stopping over on Tatooine when he's called on by his old associate Jabba the Hutt to help collect a debt. Naturally this is the money owed to Jabba by Han Solo. The story is a monologue going through Fett's head while he backs up Jabba and stares down Han and Chewie."
Boba Fett is one of the more interesting characters in the Star Wars universe. Even with very little screen time, he's become one of the most enduring characters in the history of the franchise and fans have always wanted more from him, especially after Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012. This story gives us more, and it also answers an age-old question about why Darth Vader felt the need to warn Fett about "disintegrations" in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Here's the full excerpt from Added Muscle.
"Jabba had said to meet him at Docking Bay 94. Told me it was a collection job and he needed some insurance. One look at the duds he dragged along confirmed this. Not a pro in the lot. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the whispers of surprise when I walked onto the scene. That's right, boys. Fett's here. Do me a favor and fall to the side after you're hit. I really don't want to trip over your idiot corpses once the shooting starts. Sorry, if the shooting starts. No reason to get excited yet. Okay, Wook. There are two ways this is going down. One, we have a nice little chat, Jabba gets his money from Solo, and we all leave happy. Two, someone gets anxious, zip zip, Jabba's rid of one deadbeat, and I get a new scalp for my collection. No guesses which one I prefer. Originally, I wasn't supposed to be a part of this. That's what I get, I guess, sticking around Tatooine to snag some Imperial coin. I was supposed to be off this dust ball yesterday, but I picked up trooper buzz that Vader was looking for a couple of runaway droids. Figured I'd collect the bounty and square myself with the headman at the same time. He's still got a mad on over those rebel spies I crisped on Coruscant. Idiots came at me with ion disruptors. What, they thought I wouldn't carry a weapon accelerator? Flash, boom, three tiny ash piles. Tried to collect and Lord "No Disintegrations!" refused to pay without bodies. My word's not good enough, apparently. Reckoned I'd make up the loss by finding his droids and holding out for twice the reward. No go on that. Trailed one until its footprints were wiped out by a Jawa sandcrawler. Followed those treads a way until I found someone had wiped out the Jawas, too. 'Someone' meaning amateurs trying to fake a Tusken raid. Probably stormtroopers, judging by the random blast shots. Some might call them precise. Me, I say they can't hit the butt end of a bantha. At least they had brains enough to take out everyone who had seen the droids. Hard luck on the sizzled hicks I found at that torched moisture farm. Had a look-see and discovered there were three settlers living there, not two. Betting the third ran with the droids. I'll hunt around after I'm done here. Vader may triple the bounty if I bring him the fugitive along with the droids. Yeah, I know, intact corpse, 'no disintegrations.' Till then, here I stand, adding some credibility to the collection of bums and bugs Jabba calls muscle. Figures he'd want us to shake down Solo, the biggest loser in the galaxy. I could just pop him for target practice, but I never work for free."
Star Wars: A Certain Point of View is set for release on October 3 and, if you get the audiobook, it includes performances by Jonathan Davis, Ashley Eckstein, Janina Gavankar, Neil Patrick Harris, January LaVoy, Saskia Maarleveld, Carol Monda, Daniel José Older and Marc Thompson. Star Wars fans will recognize names like Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Janina Gavankar from the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront II. You can listen to Jon Hamm's excerpt from Added Muscle over at USA Today.

Equidistant from Paris and Geneva, 3 hours by road from the two metropolises via the A6 and barely 90 minutes via the French TGV train (Gare-de-Montbard). The chateau is in the heart of the Châtillonnais area, on the outskirts of a small village with just a few inhabitants. The local heritage is without equal: Bussy-Rabutin castle, Fontenay Abbey, Buffon-de-Montbard Park and its old castle, Fontaines-en-Duesmois and the Capetian Ducal castle in Villaines-en-Duesmois, all set in game-filled forests.
The chateau
This large, rectangular building is flanked to the north-east by a round tower called the "Tour Joyeuse" (Joyeuse Tower) after Isabeau de Joyeuse, the second wife of Claude d'Anglure. The property was once surrounded by moats which are now dried up and covered with gravel.
It has two upper floors, including an attic floor which spans the full length of the building. The chateau initially featured two wings, set at right angles, forming a U-shape around the courtyard. Traces of this are still to be seen: a former doorway on the ground floor, an opening on the first floor forming a door that provided access to the wing set at right angles, and dressed stones evoking the joining with the building set at right angles. The facade overlooking the forecourt is decorated with a slightly projecting prominent section. It is still possible to see the slots for the former drawbridge which frame the remains of a bas-relief featuring the coats-of-arms of the Anglure and Joyeuse families, hammered in 1789.
Gun-loops, set between the ground floor windows, dominated the former moats.
The windows on the ground and first floors are surrounded by sculpted leaf and floral motifs. Plain pediments above the top floor roof dormers reinforce the facade's decorative sobriety.
The north-east facade overlooking the courtyard and the parklands features a series of arcades on the ground floor, where pairs of pilasters with Corinthian capitals flank five doorways set in the embrasure of the arcades. A sixth doorway provides access to the inside of the chateau and its large, main stairway. On the first floor, the six rectangular windows are adorned with garlands and fruit, features which are repeated on the pediments on the second floor roof dormers. The attic roof dormers are enhanced with sculpted bells, taken from the Anglure family's coats-of-arms. Recesses on the facade must once have been painted as is indicated by the 4th recess from the right which still bears the motto of the master of the premises. French windows were added in the 18th century. Inside, the large windows feature indoor shutters.
The outbuildings
Built of exposed quarry blocks and laid out in an L-shape, the outbuildings feature dressed stone framing around the windows, doors and the large carriage door. All the buildings have an oak wood roofing framework covered with flat, Burgundy tile roofs.
They comprise a farm shed, a workshop and the former stables.
The traditional farmhouse
The interlocking tile roof on this one-storey building has been fully renovated. It was once the caretaker's cottage comprising a barn and a stable. The roofing framework has been restored.
The large Renaissance stairway
Unique in Burgundy, this dressed stone, half-pace construction has a landing on each floor. Vaulted, it has two flights for each floor and is adorned with stucco decoration bas-reliefs featuring figures from Greek mythology and Italian Renaissance motifs, intermingling winged horses, fauns and putti. One section evokes the twelve tasks of Hercules.
The first floor has Hercules posing with the shield belonging to the Queen of the Amazons. Opposite, another Hercules can be seen sitting amongst the Gods of Olympus under the lord of the manor's motto: De Die in Diem (From Day to Day).
Our opinion
This low-fronted chateau stands tall and is just brimming with history. It above all conceals an inner treasure in the form of its Hercules-decorated stairway, a fascinating work of art with an artistic and aesthetic complexity that subtly contrasts with the original chateau's effectively plain facades.
The property clearly reflects and bears outstanding witness to the history of France as a result of its exemplary restoration works.

There is an old saying that you should never ask a question that you are not prepared to deal with the answer. Sometimes…women and men tend to forget that. On this podcast, we explore the 5 toughest questions that women ask (but really don't want to know the answer to). This podcast will comically take a look at the responses that men should (and should not) give.

text: Shopping for a scrubber, sweeper or combo floor cleaning machine is comparable to purchasing a car, forklift or any type of commercial equipment. New models offer the latest, most advanced technology and sell at retail value suggested by the manufacturer. Used scrubbers and sweepers are refurbished and sell at discounted prices based on the year, number of hours, and overall working condition. Choosing a new or used model depends on your budget and the frequency of which you use the equipment. Gathering price quotes on both new and used equipment from multiple dealers in your area is the best way to determine the most ideal model for your facility.

Get engrossed in the shows that keep you on the edge of your seat with the Panasonic TX-40GX820B 40" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV.
Thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution, this TV delivers clarity four times greater than Full HD. That means you'll see details previously lost in a blur of colour, while movement of both the camera and the subject appears much smoother and more realistic.
Your content at its best
High Dynamic Range displays the brightest and darkest shades of colour in the same image, so no detail is lost. With wider colour and better contrast, everything looks better than ever, whether that's a Netflix show or 4K Blu-ray blockbuster.
Sound that brings out the best in your content
Enhance your entertainment with stunning sound to match the picture. With Dolby Atmos sound, you can put yourself in the middle of the action, pick up on finer details and benefit from fluid audio that moves around you.
Never miss the shows you love
You can't always be at home when the latest unmissable show is on. That's why the GX820B comes with Freeview Play. You can catch up with shows you've missed on popular channels like BBC over the past week, so you're never left in the dark when the whole office seems to be talking about that cliff hanger.
Please note: Freeview and some apps & services are only available in the UK. Apps & services may be removed or no longer supported by third party content providers at any time. Some apps & services may not be available at launch and may require a firmware update before becoming available.

Digital Course Packs Launch. New Tool to Help Teachers Use NewsU
As we work with our academic partners, we find new ways to help teachers in the classroom. And that means we also help students with their journalism education.
Our latest tool is something we are calling a "Digital Course Pack." Working with University of South Florida journalism professor Wayne Garcia, we created an assessment package for a series of self-directed courses. Garcia is using three different Digital Course Packs in three different classes this semester. The course packs are assigned, much like a textbook, and they count for 15 percent of a student's grade.
We see Digital Course Packs as an online supplement to in-class meetings and traditional texts. And while educators have always had the ability to use our self-directed modules as part of their teaching, Digital Course Packs provide additional critical features: tracking and assessments.
We assess the student's learning via multiple-choice quizzes and track other information such as time spent and number of log-ons. To keep track of all of this information we created a new feature on NewsU, the Instructor Dashboard. Here's a view of a student's activity on the dashboard.

Onyango happy to make it three in a row
Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Denis Onyango says he has been inspired to work even harder after he was named with an elite group of players in the Africa Best XI team for 2018.
The Ugandan is the only player in the Best XI who is playing on the continent, teaming up with European superstars such as Sadio Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kalidou Koulibaly and Mohamed Salah, who was named African Player of the Year at the awards which were held in Senegal on Tuesday night.
READ: Kgatlana, Ellis win big at CAF awards
Onyango has helped Uganda book a spot at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a game to spare and has not conceded a goal in the qualifying campaign. He was also a key member as Sundowns lifted an unprecedented eight Absa Premiership trophy.
It's the third time in a row Onyango is being named in the Best XI, a clear sign that he is one of the best keepers on the continent.
"Of course it means a lot to me, the club and the national team, because being recognised in the Best XI shows that I have done well with both club and country. So for me it's an honour to be part of this history and it gives me more motivation as a goalkeeper to work hard because you don't know who is watching and people recognise you when you perform. It keeps me going in the goalkeeping department," he said last night.
"It's an inspiration to other people out that there you can do it, as long as you do it on the field. You must always give your best."
Onyango says he will be aiming to make the Best XI for a fourth straight time in 2019.
Onyango says he will be aiming to make the Best XI for a fourth straight time in 2019.
"I'll be aiming to be in the Best XI for a fourth straight time, but it also comes with hard work and I try to focus on my goalkeeping department."

text: Coffee is very important to me. It is the proper foundation for my day, my constant and comfort every day. I rely on it, so it has to be good. My new favorite coffee is Gorilla's Brazil. Nutty, almost chocolate-y, it has full coffee flavor without being sharp or acrid. I first bought a pound at Whole Foods, but have since decided to go directly to the Gorilla coffee shop in Park Slope instead. A whole dollar cheaper, I also get a free cup of coffee with purchase and a frequent buyer card. When I buy nine pounds of coffee, I get the tenth free, well worth the pleasant walk over. Seeing that I go through a pound a month, I should be getting my free coffee next March.

The twice-postponed Emmy Awards will try again next month but could run foul of baseball's World Series.
The awards ceremony is expected to be held on November 4 in Los Angeles, sources close to the show said yesterday. That date could put the Emmys in conflict with a seventh World Series game if it is played.
An announcement about the rescheduled Emmys, including whether Ellen DeGeneres will remain as host, was set for today, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and CBS, which will broadcast the show, declined to comment.
The Emmy ceremony was within hours of its broadcast on October 7 when the United States and Britain launched a military attack on Afghanistan. Emmy organisers and CBS called off the show.
Originally planned for September 16, the Emmys were delayed the first time because of the terrorist attacks five days earlier.
CBS and the academy had been considering other dates in November and a variety of formats and locations, including a studio lot or military base show with troops in the audience.
The ceremony was originally to have been held at the 6,000-plus seat Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Its new venue, the Shubert Theatre, holds only 1,800 people.
From the first delay, the television industry has been divided over whether the awards should be re-staged or dropped altogether.
Some participants were worried about safety, although officials said no threats had been received and that unprecedented security measures were in place at the Shrine.
Others questioned the propriety of a Hollywood celebration in difficult times. But CBS and the academy were intent on proceeding with the 53rd annual prime-time Emmys.
"There's a lot of money at stake," CBS Television President Leslie Moonves said recently.
The network stands to lose advertising dollars and a promotional platform for its programming, while the academy depends on the 3 million-plus dollars network licence fee and ticket sales for a large portion of its annual budget.

Damn Ramble Rides are a lot of work! -Me.
Ramble Rides wouldn't happen without the support of a lot of fine folks working for fine companies. If you've been on a Ramble you've heard my elevator speech about these rides: I was in the bike industry and dissatisfied with the general state of things. I was growing ever more bummed that the focus was on products and less on fun. That while race events have their place, there weren't many challenging but non-competitive events. And not wanting to sound like a nostalgic old man, I missed the old days when riding was about, well having fun.
So here are the Rambles where fun is the focus. They're still hard, I mean you'll KNOW you did something tough afterward. But you'll have fun doing it.
And how lucky are we that we have partners who feel the same way? So let's talk about these fine folks:

Learn About Venue Hiring and Management Systems
If you are organising any event, be it an exhibition, a conference or a wedding, you will require a venue. The selection of venue you decide on often means the difference between failure and success to your function, so it will be a key decision to make. The very first venue that will instantly pop into your head is hotels, and you can find an enormous number of hotels in most towns and cities countrywide that provide you with this facility. Still, you should really look at other choices other than your local hotel as there are quite a few distinctive and one of a kind venues that provide facilities for exhibitions and weddings.
Regardless of the event type, one needs space for a group get together. Thus, hiring a venue space has a lot of advantages. Using a hired venue will make planning one's event easier as things can be coordinated through a single source. Plus, with the wide variety of event venues available, one can find a space that truly fits the occasion. Here are some simple things to consider when looking for a venue to hire:
A corporate dinner party and a 50th wedding anniversary each have similar and unique requirements. It is important not only to know what type of event, but the tone and feel one wants to achieve too.
This is critical as either a too small or too big a venue can really put a damper on a party. Too small a space means overcrowding and potentially slow service, while too big a venue can sometimes make the gathering feel insignificant. Get an accurate headcount early in the process.
This is obviously important if considering an outdoor event, but even during colder times, many venues have heated outdoor areas. Either way, be sure to plan the event well in advance especially if there is a specific date in mind.
Make sure to anticipate any activities that will go on during the event. For example, if planning a corporate outing, senior management may want to make presentations or speeches so space needs are different. Knowing what activities are planned ahead of time will help eliminate last minute scrambling.
Ideally the venue location will be convenient to most of the guests, but when this is not possible, consider the venue's proximity to public transportation or convenient parking. Also, if looking at a city venue, consider the safety of the neighbourhood.
Food and drinks make or break a party, so make sure to thoroughly investigate the capabilities of the venue. Most will have catering facilities or will provide recommendations but most often one's own caterer can be used.
If considering some type of entertainment, be sure to get requirements early to be sure the venue can accommodate. While most venues can easily handles bands and dance floors, entertainment options are becoming more unique, so don't assume the space is set-up for things like a live cooking demonstration.
Think carefully about anything that may require special thought. For a 90th birthday party there may be quite a few older guests. If the party space is not on the ground floor, make sure there are enough lifts to accommodate guests. This is where a good event with the venue's representative to go over plans is very valuable as they can often anticipate potential issues based on experience.
Be sure to have a figure in mind before searching for a venue and don't be shy about sharing the parameters early in the process. While one wants to hire the best venue for the gathering, spending a lot of money won't guarantee the party will be a success.
Keep these considerations in mind when hiring a venue to ensure the space fits the event.
Lastly, regardless of what type of function you're planning, be it a company conference over a few days for hundreds or even thousands of men and women, an intimate wedding reception for a few family and friends or an art exhibition where you want a platform that will really stand out, you will be able to get just what you desire. Just in case the proper planning is too arduous to tackle alone, you could employ venue management software to complete all the work on your behalf. You can then relax and simply accept all the credit for organising a superb venue for the event.

MEA vacation
So…. NY gets Jewish holidays, some states still observe Columbus day, MN decided to make up a reason for a vacation and named it MEA.

The Pursuit of Work–Life Balance
|Photo credit: Rick's Photo Thing
I remember the first time I had to study through the whole day, stopping only once I climbed into bed, defeated and dreading starting all over again the next day. I had been plagued by a particularly bothersome high school assignment for my least favourite subject, biology. It was the early noughties, and my household had no internet access; our only reference books comprised an outdated encyclopedia collection that pre-dated World War I. I particularly remember the intense dismay I felt at the knowledge that I wouldn't be able to play my recently acquired copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that night.
I've been teetering on a tightrope between work and life ever since. This has sometimes meant submerging myself in work for short, intense periods during university and postgraduate training, surfacing only for lunchtime ramen breaks and weekend woodland walks. Over the past few years, the work has been steadier, more constant, with time off apportioned and set aside. Still, while the demarcation between work and life has become more defined, full-time work has been uniquely draining. With noon starts and late-evening finishes that often bled into overtime in my copy-editing job, my days felt as though they were cloven into two, without enough hours left at either end to feel as though I had true mastery of my time.
The 40-hour work week has never felt natural to me (I've often felt that I'd be much more at home with Sweden's former 6-hour work days). The notion of having to spend my youth working to live comfortably in older age seems counter-productive, and the drive to 'live [only] for the weekend' feels wasteful. The spectre of work also has a nasty habit of hanging over what's left of the day. I've spoken to too many people who admit to crashing out on the couch after their workday, too depleted to manage much more than an oven meal and TV gameshow session before turning in. Likewise, spending my days at a desk looking at words on a screen (to explain my job badly) has made me somewhat averse to writing in my spare time, like an allergy developed from overexposure.
|'Flying used to be fun until I started doing it for a living.' -- Kiki's Delivery Service
But, despite feeling fundamentally off balance, I reasoned that it would only be a short-term arrangement. I needed to establish myself in my role, I told myself. I needed to pay my dues, drudge in the short term to set myself up for the long term. My employer even dangled the promise of more standard hours once the business expanded and recruited more staff to share the load. So, hooked by the security of a full-time wage and wary of making any demands that might cast me as 'difficult', I settled.
A few months ago, however, the opposite happened: after deciding to spread the staff out across the hours more thinly to maximise coverage*, my shift was pushed to an even later time. It began to feel like my partner and I were living in two different time zones. Once I finished my shift, it was all we could do to snatch a couple of hours together before he went to bed. By the time I awoke the following morning, he had already left.
|Disturbingly accurate.
I told myself that something needed to change. I started to consider the possibility of reducing or negotiating my hours, and, if given no choice, leaving. But I felt immobilised by fear. While UK employees have the right to request flexible working, I read that such requests are often frowned upon and viewed as a lack of commitment to the company, decreasing the employee's chances of receiving a pay rise or promotion. I felt like I should have a more concrete excuse, such as childcare or long-term illness, to justify my decision, as though mental well-being and spiritual balance didn't count. After all, people my age don't typically volunteer to earn less.
Worse still, what if my employer decided to hire someone more agreeable? What if I couldn't find something that paid as well or as well suited? I constantly discussed wanting to make a change, but kept finding inventive ways to procrastinate making the leap, like a deluded chain-smoker. After the busy Christmas period, I told myself. No, after New Year, or when I've finished my driving lessons. Against my better judgement, I persevered in a situation that was sapping my energy and joy. Because, on some level, I craved the safety of my work, despite the fact that I was allergic to it.
The turning point came when I explained my situation to a friend. Written down, my reasoning for holding off seemed weak and unconvincing, even to me. So I arranged a time to talk with my employer at the end of the week. Fully expecting resistance due to how small and understaffed my workplace is, I was surprised at how receptive they were to the proposal of part-time, earlier hours, and my new schedule went into immediate effect.
'You're not especially financially motivated, are you?' my employer observed towards the end of the meeting. The question felt like a trap; if I agreed, they might assume I was willing to work for less. I answered something to the effect of caring about receiving a fair wage, but valuing job satisfaction more. My employer confessed that until then, they had worked on a system of financially (read: rather than satisfaction) based employee motivation: the greater the productivity, the higher the salary.
However, after I reached a point where I was earning a comfortable amount, this paradigm ceased to make sense. I sensed that, while accepting, my employer had hoped I would pursue this ever-shifting goalpost ad infinitum – a model not unlike that in most workplaces. Was I so unusual for willingly departing from the pursuit of ever-more money in return for ever-diminishing life balance?
Afterwards, I felt extreme relief and elation. After over two and a half years, I'd finally made a stand to reclaim a small part of myself. However, this high was followed by crippling self-doubt as I guiltily indulged in my first extended weekend. Some acquaintances even gave me some noticeable side-eye when I told them about my decision. Had I made a mistake? Should I have asked for less? The extra time felt as though it did not quite belong to me, and I felt almost felonious in taking it when I knew I might otherwise be working, like a child bunking off school, regardless of whether I needed the extra money.
|'The question isn't "What are we going to do?" The question is "What aren't we going to do?"' -- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Something my brother later said resonated with me: 'It's crazy how used to stress you become without even realising it.' I realised that years of working into the night had seeped into me. The culture of 'presenteeism' – being the first one in and the last one out, working through illness, constantly monitoring my work email – had become, if not fulfilling, normative. Society pushes us to earn more, have more and thus be more – placing our value in these indicators of success. It can be compulsive, and it's something I'm still learning to wean myself off.
But more than that, having (and choosing) more time can be frightening in the same way a blank page is. Ironically, the pressure of using the empty space productively and meaningfully is something you're relieved of to a certain extent while in pilot mode at work.
Now, I have more time to write and plan projects, spend time with people I care about and generally feed my soul. I'd be lying if I said I don't still procrastinate (an occupational hazard for writers) and feel guilty for doing so or that I have achieved the perfect ratio of work and play every day, and I recognise that not everyone has the luxury of taking a step back from work. But I feel justified in making this small, essential choice: to prioritise life balance and not just my bank balance.

I usually serve a ham on Christmas eve. We go to a candlelight service and then come home for dinner. The ham is easy to serve shortly after we arrive home since it is precooked and I can keep it warm in a large slow cooker. But even small hams leave us with leftovers. I thought I would share some of the ways that I will be using up the leftover ham.
Ham freezes well. I stretch the leftovers over several weeks, by freezing the ham in usable portions and then thawing it as needed. Don't freeze your ham in one large chunk. Instead, dice it, cube it, or cut it into thin slivers – whatever your favorite ham recipes call for it.
The ham bone can be used to add flavor to soups, so don't toss it out once you remove the meat from the bone. If you don't have time to make soup or cook beans within a few days of serving the ham, wrap the bone in plastic and place it in the freezer to use at a later time. The ham bone will keep for 3 – 4 months in the freezer.

Lewis County is updating its Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan. The county, its communities, and the many local agencies and organizations with a stake in hazard mitigation have formed a planning team to complete the required 5-year update as part of a FEMA-funded Pre-Disaster Mitigation grant through the Idaho Office of Emergency Management and the University of Idaho.
The plan update will comprehensively revise the former plan, and include state-of-the-science risk analyses and vulnerability assessments. The update process will focus on the mitigation strategy--what actions have been completed or implemented in the county, what actions remain to be completed, and the incorporation of new and additional actions.
Public involvement throughout the plan update is important in making Lewis County's hazard mitigation plan stronger and more local. All citizens are invited to participate in a survey found on the Survey page at: https://hazard-analytics.org/lewis-county

By Paul Smith
Visiting Student Blogger
I am from a small town in North Carolina and I've never lived in what I would call a "big city." So this term, I've not only been studying in a different continent but I've been living a different style life. I was housed in a high-rise apartment complex and I walked to class in an environment which was much more unfamiliar than I expected. I was a little overwhelmed and while I wasn't homesick exactly, I was definitely a stranger to this community.
Luckily, I had made friends through an amazing Geology field trip at the beginning of the term, and a friend from my home university was also living in the same apartment complex, so I was far from alone. In the first week back from Arran I found myself in a living room with my friend and a small crowd of French students, all getting to know each other and talking about the common ground we shared. When one of my soon-to-be friends admitted he had never seen the last two Harry Potter movies, it was all over. Ten minutes later we piled on a couple of couches and were watching "The Philosopher's Stone," with the promise to watch all of them by the time Christmas came around.
I'm not the most die-hard of HP fans, but it was still a story I loved growing up with. I was so comforted to re-experience something from my childhood after doing so many new things, and watching it with new people made me appreciate it even more. As weeks went by I began to realise this structure of a weekly movie with new friends, a movie we were all familiar with despite not initially being familiar with each other, provided for us a common thread across the whole term and a good sense of progression through the term (since the math worked out to have us finish right in time to leave). After Reading Week, I ended up delving deep into Harry Potter culture, largely by accident. My friend and I both started listening to a Harry Potter podcast, and after sharing it with my geology mates, several of them joined in as well. There was "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", which, of course, we took a trip to go see together. The Quiz Society happened to put on a Harry Potter Pub quiz, so with one Irish, two American, and two French students, we entered. To our surprise, at least one of us knew answers to most of the questions and we took home a win.
Having something so familiar to be an overarching theme for my semester at TCD was comforting and a form of emotional support while I was far from home in a new place. I made friends and connected friends to each other through this universe for which we all shared a fondness. Now looking back at my semester I think of all of the amazing non-Potter experiences I had: The Arran trip, a traditional Thanksgiving meal with people who had never had Thanksgiving, visiting Howth and Greystones, and dozens more. And everything is remembered with the structure of something familiar, so it isn't only seen as exciting, but warm and almost familial. Harry Potter has let me feel grounded through my time here and made every new and exciting experience even more so.

Why I Think Fascinating Diamonds is Awesome Best Diamond Certificate
I had such a hard time try to find a diamond ring for my engagement. I tried my nearest jewelry store and retailer, but I just couldn't find the right ring. It was all gorgeous, but none of them felt just right for me. Imagine me searching for months…only for one ring!
It was not until a friend phoned me and asked me to test out fascinatingdiamonds.com. She told me the website did custom made rings and was much cheaper compared to other jewelry stores. I found that Fascinating Diamonds is a jewellery shop based in nyc. They've a small portion of their store where they let the clients design and bedazzle their rings for them. At first, I actually thought the entire thing was a scam. I had over $4000 dollars to invest and I was not willing to lose that much money. However, I have been looking for months, so I decided to give this one a try. Wedding Ring Baby Test
The Website Really Lets You Customize Your Ring
At first, I was very skeptical of businesses that sell customized products online because:
- I believed the entire thing was a scam; and
- Even if they were not, I felt like they've limited templates.
But this site had far more templates than I realized. Their website has a wide variety of things to choose from. I got to pick my own ring style, my own metal band, and my own diamonds! I even got to select the colours, which was really amazing. I initially wanted a silver solitaire ring with a excellent emerald cut. While I was tinkering around with the options a bit, I decided to change my mind and go with a round cut and a bronze group instead. It was easy to do this and play around with the diamond shapes, colors, and styles until I got what I wanted. Additionally, their site is really easy to use! I discovered it tricky at first because I'm not very comfortable with customizing products. But really, it's like playing a video game of SIMS where you create your own character. In this case, I made my own ring. Wedding Ring Baby Test
The Diamonds Are GIA Certified
I have done a bit of research on diamonds before I decided to tackle this online shop. I found that it was best that my diamond ring was GIA certified to ensure that it'll shine the brightest and last the longest. This actually caused a great deal of worry on my part because I was buying online. I mean I knew so little about online shops, much less ones that let you customize your ring. I was really worried because I thought that the diamonds were fake. But, early on, I had been informed that all of the diamonds there are real and GIA certified. And it really showed when I received my custom made ring, all shiny and beautiful.
You Can Measure How Much You Spend
Their custom ring actually saved me a few million bucks. I believe their rings price an overall average of $2000 at most. For rings with round diamonds at the least. I still think it is a huge economy considering that other retail stores ask for more than that sometimes. At least here, you have a concrete reason as to why your ring costs the way it does. The price of a ring depends a lot on the type of metal the band is, the diamond's shape (or diamonds if you plan on using more than one gem in your ring), and the 4Cs of the diamond itself: carat weight, cut, colour and clarity.
Unlike retail shops, Fascinating Diamonds actually lets you look at the prices of the diamond gem, the band, and the general style as you're building the ring. This can allow you to make affordable choices without sacrificing the quality you want. By way of example, I wanted to get a ring with a round diamond that has an superb cut. But a round diamond with an fantastic cut can easily cost from $600 to $1000. That's only 1 part of the ring. Wedding Ring Baby Test
How did I pick? The website lets me know that a round excellent cut diamond with 0.35 carats, an E color grade, and a clarity grade of VS1 can cost you $1007. Meanwhile, another exceptional cut diamond with 0.4 carats, a color grade of I, and an SI1 clarity grade cost you $603. The artists behind the site guaranteed that no one would see the gap. The choice became so simple for me. If it sounds too technical for you, don't worry. The staff is very accommodating; they will actually give you a rundown on what you need to know in the event you ever get stuck.
Their Service is Remarkable!
The jewelry artists behind Fascinating Diamonds are amazing! They had been so meticulous in the way they handled my requests, large or small. Sometimes, they'd even throw in their own ideas and pick the style that'll fit me best. This was unlike any other experience I had with retail stores. They handled all of my questions so well.
It was understandable that they do, however, considering that they customize your ring to meet your needs. They also ship outside of New York, too! Since the store's established in New York and I'm not, I was hoping that the transport might last longer than usual. But the entire interaction was really smooth and I was really delighted with my ring when it arrived. Wedding Ring Baby Test
What You Will Need To Know First Wedding Ring Baby Test
I believe it's best if you do a bit of research on rings prior to customizing your own. There's a lot that you need to know about jewelry first before getting into this, particularly once you want to look into how much you're spending.
While the artists were accommodating, I honestly think that this can not be for somebody who's hasn't done their research on diamond rings beforehand. It's also a lot simpler if you already have a certain style in mind. But then again, it was fun playing around with the styles and the colors that it was easy to change my mind.
Conclusion Best Diamond Certificate
For someone who knows what they need but can not find it everywhere, fascinatingdiamonds.com is the perfect place for you.
But if you're a little indecisive about what you really want, it is also the ideal place to explore what you like and what you do not like.
It is really like one of those media games where you select what you get. It was an awesome experience for me and I could not be happier with the results. Wedding Ring Baby Test
