According to the Associated Press, Democrat Rep. John Lewis of Georgia claimed that President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration will be the first inauguration he has missed in three decades. However, it was quickly revealed that this was a complete lie. Now who is the one spreading fake news?
Kevin Freking of AP reported that Lewis had some very strong opinions about the incoming president's legitimacy.
"You know, I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It will be hard. It's going to be very difficult. I don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president," Lewis reportedly said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press."
He also commented on the Russia hacking scandal, saying, "I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton," while also explaining that he will miss this inauguration because "you cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right."
But it turns out that Lewis also missed President George W. Bush's swearing-in ceremony in 2001. According to a 2011 story in The Washington Post, "John Lewis … spent the day in his Atlanta district. He thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in because he doesn't believe Bush is the true elected president."
So it looks like we've been here — or, in Lewis' case, not been here — before.
NewsBusters commented on the fake news that the AP was spreading: "The fact is that John Lewis boycotted the inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001 in very outspoken fashion."
AP also went on to report in another story that 30 House Democrats planned to boycott Trump's inauguration and that this had not been done when Bush was elected.
"While many Democrats were furious with the outcome of the drawn-out 2000 election in which George W. Bush defeated Al Gore after recounts and a Supreme Court ruling, they generally attended Bush's inauguration as the nation's 43rd president," AP wrote.
However this was also a mischaracterization of the truth, at best. According to that same Washington Post story, several Democrats boycotted that inauguration as well.
Many Democrats were not happy, and it was understandable "why some (Democrat) members wouldn't want to come to this," said Democrat Rep. Martin Frost at the time. "It's not a good time when the other party is having all the fun."
So we will ask again: Who is spreading fake news now?

The main reason for blogging today is the fact that I have an awesome giveaway. I just love Samson's classroom and you will too!
I am so happy to be able to do a giveaway for a year subscription to Samson's Classroom ($80 value). It's one of my favorite websites for learning sight words, spelling words and reading comprehension. The giveaway will last until Monday. If you aren't the lucky winner then you will be so EXCITED because Samson's Classroom has agreed to provide $70 off.The promo code RMN3(as in "Run Miss Nelson") will give you $70 off a classroom plan until October. THANK YOU Samson's Classroom.
- We love all of the portions but my favorite portion for my 1st graders is the reading passages. The reading passages are divided up into different levels. Students are asked to read a passage and answer comprehension questions about their reading. If a student answers incorrectly, the program is great about highlighting the area of the passage where the answer can be found. I like this because it forces students to go back and reread to find the correct answer. I love that they are actually looking back in the passage to make sure their answers are correct because they want to earn "hammer swings"! If they miss a question they earn less hammer swings. Hammer Swings are just a fun incentive at the end.

text: The 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and State was passed by the Chamber of Deputies on 9 December 1905. Enacted during the Third Republic, it established state secularism in France. France was then governed by the Bloc des gauches (Left Coalition) led by Emile Combes. The law was based on three principles: the neutrality of the state, the freedom of religious exercise, and public powers related to the church. This law is seen as the backbone of the French principle of laicite.

Its fall time to save seeds
When acquiring seed to grow vegetables make sure you buy Heirloom seeds. Do not buy hybrid seeds because you cannot save these seeds. Once you grow them they will not reproduce. Heirlooms seed are the best because they are handed down from generation to generation with the same elements that helped our grandparents survive with a healthy diet and without all these problems we have today with our health. It's time to get back to basics before it is too late. Gather seed even if you do not garden, In the near future you may need this seed to live on because it will keep for a few years.

Sony Mobile returns in late 2012 with a new design, and faster hardware in its most recent flagship smartphone, the Xperia T. If the Xperia T looks familiar, it might be because it's channeling a little of last year's Xperia Arc, with an elegant-flag front and a curved back. And while the Xperia T is heftier than its predecessor, it feels just as great in the hand. Hardware highlights include a Snapdragon S4 dual-core CPU at 1.5GHz, a impressively bright and clear Sony IPS-based HD Reality Display and a 13MP rear camera (check out our initial photo and video samples).
On the software side, we're unfortunately still running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, though Sony promises an upgrade to Jelly Bean in due course. Being a Sony phone, the Xperia T delivers an understated skin on top of ICS, with Sony-branded apps including a Walkman music player and PlayStation Mobile. Timescape returns to perform its social media duties, and Xperia Link allows an easy way to tether the device to a Sony tablet, if you have one.
On the whole, it's a solid high-end package from Sony, and a marked improvement upon early 2012 efforts like the Xperia S. We'll have a full review written up in the days ahead. In the meantime, check out our full hands-on video and photo gallery after the break.

Research shows that taking a break from studying enhances your efficiency, fixation, vitality, and imagination, and revives your mind so you get more out of your study session. Study breaks are especially beneficial for MBA students who are always overburdened with study materials. There are a few powerful approaches to take a break from studying in light of your own inclinations, and on what works best for you.
Plan short breaks into your current study plan. Take one 15-minute break each 50 minutes to an hour and a half to rest and energize your mind. Your brain can concentrate for a most extreme of a hour and a half before it needs a break due to the ultradian rhythm.
In the event that you do exercise or play a game, ensure you don't feel excessively damp with sweat, tired, or awkward a short time later. It's best to stay with a moderate energy activity rather than a vivacious one.
In the event that the weather isn't great or on the off chance that you would prefer not to go outside for any other reason, consider including some indoor physical action. Even walking or running set up for a couple of minutes ought to give you a fast jolt of energy.
Clean and tidy up your study region. Mess, for example, free papers, coffee mugs, and waste can be distracting, and keep you from having the capacity to completely focus and relax while studying. Use free time to discard waste and expel things you don't require from your work area.
In the meantime, remember this ought to be a break. On the off chance that cleaning your study zone appears like a long or requesting process- – something to fear – it may be best to avoid this action amid your break time and spare it for after you complete this study session or before you begin tomorrow's session.
Have a conversation with somebody. Conversing with somebody face to face or via telephone helps get rid of the monotony of the continuous study session, and distracts you from studying when you require a break.
Simply ensure you're ready to quit talking once your time is up. Pick somebody who is understanding and willing to end the conversation early- – a parent, for example, or another companion who can arrange their study plan with yours. Quickly clarify that you're on a time limit, set your clock of course, and keep away from overwhelming discussions that are probably going to stretch out past your break time.
Play some music. If music is what relaxes you then go for it. You can pay whatever musical instrument you like. Be it a piano, a violin or a guitar. We recommend playing a guitar as it has shown to release the highest levels of endorphins in your body aka happy hormones. So when you're on a study break, grab your esp eclipse ii and play your favorite song on it. You can even sing along if you like. We suggest you purchase an ESP guitar because it is worth the investment. Not only will it last you a long time but will also maintain its quality throughout the years.

On 20 March 2004, Chelsea beat Fulham 2-1 in an English Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, starting a home unbeaten streak that would last a total of 86 matches - an English record.
The last match in that run was a 2-0 league win over Aston Villa on 5 October 2008. Liverpool finally ended Chelsea's home dominance with a 0-1 league win on 26 October 2008, when Liverpool's Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso scored in the 10th minute off a deflection from Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa. Just two months later, Chelsea suffered another home defeat in the league, this time a 1-2 loss to London rivals Arsenal.
Arsenal, incidentally, were the last team to beat Chelsea at the Bridge before the start of the streak, with a 1-2 win on 21 February 2004.

"Parts of Your Face"
We all have "ugly" days but I think that by going through the process such as scrapping photos of yourself, helps to build your confidence and learn to love yourself for who you are.
Aside from the beautiful 12x12 background piece I also used some of the stickers from the collection, along with some of the tags.
I love the sayings on the die cuts too, they are just perfect for this creation so I incorporated some of them also. I added some sewing using my machine to add a "path" for the viewers eyes to follow and finished it off with a little bit of stamping and some hand drawn scribbles. Oh and black ink splats .... of course!

Nitobi and Microsoft have announced that the HTML5-powered PhoneGap cross-platform mobile application development framework now supports Windows Phone 7 "Mango" devices.
In a Sept. 8 blog post, Jesse Macfeyden, senior software engineer at Nitobi, the maker of PhoneGap, announced a new beta of PhoneGap for Windows Phone "Mango." Macfeyden also said Nitobi has dedicated two developers to the project-himself and another engineer named Herm Wong. And Microsoft is lending engineering resources and technical support for the project.
"We've been busy dusting off our Silverlight+C# skills and implementing the other APIs," he said.
In a separate Sept. 8 blog post, Jean-Christophe Cimetiere, a senior technical evangelist for interoperability at Microsoft, said, "We're very excited to join Nitobi to announce availability of a PhoneGap beta supporting Windows Phone Mango. This new option to build applications targeting Windows Phone gives more choices to developers. In particular, Web developers will be able to easily leverage their HTML5 skills to target Windows Phone."
Further reading
The beta version of the PhoneGap libraries for Windows Phone 7 can be downloaded from https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-wp7.
Describing PhoneGap, Cimetiere said:
Cimetiere said the beta version includes most of the basic features, and includes JavaScript APIs to use Windows Phone Mango features like:
"- Access Device Information (UDDI and more)- Add and search Contacts- Connection status (network/WiFi connection status)- Alerts/Notification (alert and confirm)- Media Capture (Image and Audio)- Camera- Accelerometer- Geolocation"
APIs to come include file and storage APIs, Macfeyden said.
Macfeyden lauded Microsoft for its standards compliance efforts with Internet Explorer 9. "IE9 is a much more standards-compliant browser than previous IEs, and implements commonly used html5 features like DOMContentLoaded events, addEventListener interfaces, and CSS3," he said. "Be sure to use to get the html5 implementation; otherwise the browser may fall back to a compatibility mode, and your code will likely choke and die."

I am on day 4 after my first henna with the AS kit for gray hair to auburn, using MK for acid, as included in the kit. Day 1 included quite the Orange Panic! Day 2 a very little softening of the brassy orange and almost imagined some darkening. Day 3 shampoo and blow drying brought out more darkening, but still so much orangey this morning on Day 4 that I don't want to go out in public yet. I'm thawing out my henna leftovers and wanting to reapply today to speed up the darkening process. I was used to traditionally died medium-brown-mixed-with-red roots and bleached tips that turned coppery. So this light orange with just a wee bit of browning looks pretty awful still and so brassy on me. Will this one and first application really turn auburn by two weeks out? Am I being too impatient to want to do a 2nd application today? Thank you in advance for advice and opinion.
Generally about a week shoud show the true color. Heat will help the oxidation process speed up. Clarifying the hair (if you didn't before this mix) and leaving the mix on as long as possible can help deepen the color as well. You can definitely do a second application if you feel it's not deep enough. Sleeping in it will help!
I sure appreciate your reply. Yes, I did do the Rainwash for 40 minutes before my first henna. Interestingly, it stripped most of the traditional die from most of my hair. I didn't expect that! I went ahead and did the 2nd application of henna and it really helped to redden the color away from orange. The color quality has also moved away from brassy and more toward brilliance, which is a very good thing! Now, for a while, I'm committed to washing and blow drying my short hair every day for a while to speed up the darkening toward auburn. Thank you so very much for your help.
You are welcome! Sometimes chemically treated hair can get a poor binding the first time around (because of weakened proteins). This can cause it to be kind of brassy. I'm glad the second application is better!! Blow drying will definitely help deepen it =] Hooray for awesome hair!

First of all it's never a bad idea to get your hearing checked even if you don't think you're having any problems hearing. A baseline assessment of your hearing can always be used as a comparison years from now when you're sure you have a problem.
But back to the original question, "Is it time to get your hearing checked?"
Your significant other has started to mention that you might be having some problems hearing, your kids have noticed, even your closest friends are wondering about your ability to hear. So, is it time to get your hearing checked?
The Better Hearing Institute has created an online hearing check (quiz, test) comprised of 10 questions. You will need access to a computer to take the quiz. You'll be asked to rank your ability to hear in each of the situations described on a scale of 1 to 5. Click this link to be directed to the quiz.
- I have a problem hearing over the telephone
- I have trouble understanding things on TV
- I have to worry about missing a telephone ring or doorbell
- I get confused about where sounds come from
- I especially have trouble understanding the speech of women and children
Once you've completed the quiz you'll receive both a summary and a detailed report including recommendations about what to do next.
Your friends and family members may be the reason you're asking the question above at all. Those closest to someone with a hearing loss will often be aware there's a problem long before the person with the hearing loss is aware they're having a problem communicating.
Suggest that those individuals closest to you take the quiz too (they should answer the questions from their point of view about you). Compare your results. You may be surprised at how much of a problem they really think you're having. It might be a good idea to hear what they have to say and then get your hearing checked to find out for sure what's really going on.

L2TP Extended Failover
The L2TP Extended Failover feature extends Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) failover to occur if, during tunnel establishment, a router receives a Stop Control Connection Notification (StopCCN) message from its peer, or during session establishment a router receives a Call Disconnect Notify (CDN) message from its peer. In either case, the router selects an alternate peer to contact. This action is in addition to the existing failover caused by excessive retransmission of Start Control Connection Reply (SCCRQ) messages that indicate there is no response from the peer.
The L2TP Extended Failover feature results in improved load distribution and prevents congestion at a tunnel terminator by allowing the busy tunnel terminator to inform the tunnel initiator that it should try an alternate tunnel terminator.

Today, we are featuring Alex Ikonn on the show. Perhaps you are not familiar with his name, but I promise you are familiar with one of his companies.
He co-founded Luxy Hair, 5-Min Journal (which Tim Ferriss uses) and most recently, the Productivity Planner.
His wife; Mimi and him ran a YouTube channel where they have amassed over 300 million views and millions of subscribers and followers on all social media channels.
Honestly, I wasn't going to release this until later on in the year, but this episode is so perfect for the New Year, I had to release it now.
In the last episode, we talked with Brandi (CEO of Evelyn Iona Cosmetics and it was super tactical. Probably one of the most tactical episode I have ever done about what it really takes to start a business and how funding is essentially useless.
Be sure to listen to that if you missed it.
This episode is super high-level thinking. It's all about gratefulness, discovering one's purpose and self-actualization.
It's also about viewing yourself as a creator. And what can happen to your life once you take responsibility of your art.
As you will be able to tell from the conversation, Alex LOVES his life and he loves these topics.
Of course, I get him to tell us the story of HOW in the world he got to where he is now, 7-figure business, world traveler, youtube start etc… But the underlying theme is a powerful one and one that I have been coming to grips with myself.
It's not about viewing yourself as an entrepreneur or whatever label you have in mind. It's about being a creator.
And we are going to show you how in this episode.

Because it is My Blood by Gabrielle Zevin

I liked the first book better, than the second one, but I'm still excited for the last one! I'm just so curious about what happens. I'm so intrigued by this dystopian world.
Thanks for stopping by!
- Misty | March 12, 2013 at 12:29 AM
I really can't wait for the next book, I just love being in Anya's head. And I'm curious to see how (and if) things are going to come about with her and Charles' plans...
- Michelle | March 12, 2013 at 12:37 AM
I can't wait for the next book either. The ending of this one promises SO MUCH to come. This Birthright series is really so fascinating and well-written, just love Zevin's writing!
- Mitchii @ Aeropapers | March 12, 2013 at 10:22 PM
Nice review. I'm excited for it as well. :3

I was working on a larger post about how Mass Effect 2 stacks up to my cherished dreams and suggestions, but one little digression started to snowball until I gave it its own blog post.
So, more generally about Mass Effect 2 later. One irritation I had with Mass Effect 2 early on was the seeming disappearance of my Commander Shepard's love interest from ME1. This was addressed later on, and I am (mostly) appeased. However, let's be clear: my extremely Paragon Commander Shepard puts the "fidelis" in Semper Fidelis. She is a one-fraternization officer. It does not matter what dizzying array of potential flirtations you put in her way, she is not interested.
And wow, does this game have a lot of potential flirtations. Just because I believe in human-alien cooperation, people, does not mean I am interested in that! It got so I was so relieved to chat with Grunt, say, or Miranda — just because I knew no inadvertent signals were being sent or received.
Of course, your in-character interactions in game are scripted, triggered by your choices in the conversation wheel, and there's no way to tell the game "Please, stop having Shepard lean languorously at the beginning of conversations and lowering her inconsistently rendered eyelashes." No way to preemptively tell all the potentially interested NPCs in the world that they can take a number if they want Shepard to save them from peril, but if they want Shepard's number, they are out of luck. I understand, the system's limited. How would they do that?
How could they implement a passive communication system by which everyone who makes Shepard's acquaintance could learn basic information like whether or not she's taken? One that operates on a simple system of checkboxes and information fields?
Yes, I propose SPACEBOOK.
In this as in so much else, your Shepard may vary. But this is my Shepard, and as such, you'll note an important detail:
Many awkward situations could be thus avoided. Of course, Spacebook would be owned through shell corporations by the Shadow Broker, but who are you kidding? The Shadow Broker knows all that stuff about you anyway.

Matt Cooke helps out Canucks / Slumps happen
Matt Cooke's 2 goals to help the Penguins beat the Ducks tonight actually did us a favor. It launched us one point up in the standings because the Ducks have now played the same amount of games as Vancouver but have scored less. Thanks Cooke!
-The Devils beat the Blue Jackets to keep Columbus 3 points behind us.
-Now watch out for those Oilers, who beat Colorado tonight to move 2 points behind us with 2 games in hand.
The Canucks aren't the only team currently holding a playoff spot that have struggled during the season.
-The Capitals lost 5 games of 7 in late November.
-The Penguins lost 9 of 14 games in all of December and have lost 6 of 9 in January. That's a lot of losses there.
-The Flyers lost 6 games in a row at the very beginning of the season, and look at them now.
-The Atlantic Division-leading Rangers lost 6 of 12 games in December.
-From October 24 to November 14 the Devils lost 8 of 10 games. They would then go on to win 9 of their next 10.
-The great Canadiens lost 8 of 14 games in the month of November, and Koivu was criticized for not speaking French. Oh mon Dieu. They would rebound and win 8 of 13 in December.
-The Blackhawks have lost 5 of their last 9.
-The Flames may be hauling ass right now, but they lost 4 of their first 5 games in October, 5 of 8 in early November, and 5 of 9 in early December.
-The big and bad Bruins lost 6 of 11 in October.
-The Ducks lost 5 of 6 games to start their season, 5 of 6 in mid November (all home games), and 8 of 13 in December.
Feel any better yet Canucks fans? It makes me feel more confident. At least the Canucks are stinking it up now and not in March (yet). There is plenty of time left for this team to turn it around, even if it means we start winning a slew of games when we are in 10th spot in the West. I believe it will happen. I believe in this team. One way or another it will start rolling again. Sundin needs a bit more time. So does Luongo. A lot has happened to this bunch in the past few weeks with the aforementioned players, the backup goaltender situations in Luongo's absense, Sanford's exit, a dismal powerplay, etc. Like someone here said earlier, "this too shall pass." I mean, look at all the shit Frodo and Sam had to go through just to get the damned ring into the fire at Mount Doom.... haha.
Convinced? Still not happy? Try this:

Historical recollection indicates that prior to 1974 there were loosely organized groups of boys track and field officials in the area, but they were not certified by the state organization. In 1973 iit was learned that Section II would be asked to host the 1974 New York State Outdoor Championship. Hosting this prestigious meet requires a qualified chapter of officials and was the incentive Section II needed to pursue certification from the state. Local certification and organizational efforts were initiated by Brent Steuerwald, of the Section II Track Committee, and spearheaded by Bruce Arnold. By 1974 the state requirements were met and a local officials association was able to present a state certified chapter to Section II. Bruce Arnold served as the first President of that Association from 1974-78. Today, some of the chapter's historical records date to 1974.
When girls track & field was initiated in Section II, a separate officiating group was developed mirroring the system at the state level. The Capital District Track Officials (CDTO) organization became a single entity servicing boys and girls athletes when the two local groups merged in 1984. Today, the CDTO serves all of the schools in Section II and is one of many similar organizations throughout the state that operate under the auspices of the New York State Officials of Track, Field and Cross Country (NYSOTFCC).
Section II encompasses a geographical area stretching from New England in the east to St. Johnsville in the West, and Taconic Hills (Craryville) in the south to North Warren (Chestertown) in the north. This is a huge area with nine separate leagues of competition. School sizes range from the very large schools of the Suburban Council and Big 10 to the very small schools of the CHVL and Adirondack Leagues.
The CDTO membership numbers vary from year to year but typically there are about 100 to 110 members, many of whom are coaches, and many that, for one reason or another, are not available to officiate on a given day. Therefore, servicing the large and diverse group of schools in Section II is challenging. Today, the group is led by five officers and two assignors, one each for indoor and outdoor seasons. It falls to the assignors to make sure all the meets are covered and all changes are accommodated in a timely manner.
Cross Country competition for boys and girls begins in September and finishes in November. League and Sectional Championships complete the local season. The season ends with the XC State Federation Championship Meet that has frequently been held in the Hudson Valley Area.
Indoors, the boys and girls track and field season runs from December through March. League and Sectional Championships complete the local season followed by the State Championship held at Cornell University.
Outdoors, the boys and girls track and field competition begins in late March, and runs through June. League and Sectional Championships complete the local season. Yearly State Championships are held in a region of the state that is rotated frequently.
Outdoor track & field in Section II includes eleven running events, two vertical jumps, two horizontal jumps and two throwing events. Indoor track and field has ten running events, two vertical jumps, two horizontal jumps and one throwing event. At invitational meets, which frequently include competitors from outside Section II, there are often a larger variety of events. Some meets offer only relay events, and others offer three or more throwing events in addition to the traditional running events. There are also more events at the State Championship.
Each season, some Section II athletes and officials participate in the State and National Championship events. New York State Certified Officials are expected to fill the following positions at track & field meets held in Section II and elsewhere:
RefereeClerk of CourseStarterHead Finish Line JudgeFinish Line OfficialFinish Line MarshalHead UmpireUmpireWind Gauge OfficialRace Walk JudgeSteeplechase Official

"In his 1638 Discorsi Galileo's character Salviati, widely regarded as largely Galileo's spokesman, held that all unequal weights would fall with the same finite speed in a vacuum. (...) Galileo proposed that a falling body would fall with a uniform acceleration, as long as the resistance of the medium through which it was falling remained negligible, or in the limiting case of its falling through a vacuum."

"The presence or absence of Christian community is not the necessary driver in terms of holiness," says Ken Wytsma, President of Kilns College and Founder of The Justice Conference. Accountability can be a valuable thing, but accountability alone will not keep a weak Christian from falling away from Christ. The key is a heart after God and a desire to follow His word and do His will. "We've got to always get deeper than the surface."

If it didn't already exist, someone in Hollywood might have tried inventing Ireland as the perfect romantic backdrop to illustrate a thousand tales. Luckily this magic land of castles and majestic scenery already exists and all that's left for you to do now is experience it.
Ireland has some of the most beautiful castles in Europe. We're talking fairy tale places that will send your imagination soaring from the moment you arrive. Irish Central has selected a few to visit for their ruined grandeur and a few to stay at that really have it all, history, style, superb service and a grantee you will be treated like royalty from the moment you arrive.
Ashford Castle
Built in 1228, on the shore of Lough Corrib, this fairytale castle has hosted guests like King George V, Queen Mary, and better yet the young Oscar Wilde (his father, Sir William Wilde, owned an estate next to Ashford where the young author, playwright and poet spent much of his childhood). Other celebrity guests have included Ronald Reagan, Prince Edward, Senator Edward Kennedy, John Wayne, Prince Rainier of Monaco and Princess Grace. To this day it is one of the top places to stay in Ireland, combining modern luxury with old world charm. It's an unmissable treat.
Bunratty Castle
Bunratty Castle was built in 1425 and it has actually retained the sparkling aura of the era in which it was built. The medieval age in Ireland was a high-spirited affair and all of the fun of that far off time will be recalled during your stay. A vacation at this spellbinding castle will transport you back in time (although you'll bring along every modern comfort). Try a medieval castle banquet dinner or a traditional Irish music song and dance evening at this romantic castle.
Clontarf Castle
The first castle on the grounds, of which not a trace now remains, was built in 1172 by either Hugh de Lacy, lord of Meath, or by his up and coming tenant Adam de Phepoe. Clontarf is remarkable because it was once held by the Knights Templar and after their suppression in 1308 it passed to the Knights Hospitaller, until they were in turn deprived of it at the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In 1541 it was surrendered to the English Crown. In 1600 Queen Elizabeth I gave the entire estate to Sir Geoffrey Fenton, her secretary of state for Ireland. Through marriage, it passed onto his descendants to the King family. It's a most evocative and unforgettable castle and now also a first class hotel that you should not miss.
Dromoland Castle
Dromoland Castle is everyone's idea of what a magnificent retreat should look like. It was built in the early 1500's and was originally a tower house that became a castle in 1686. The castle housed eight generations of the O'Brien family, the Irish aristocracy of the area. Today it is a romantic fantasy of turrets and towers that even the least romantic sprit will be powerless to resist. Dromoland stands amid extensive parkland and native Irish red dear are frequent and heart stoppingly beautiful visitors.
Dunluce Castle
Dunluce Castle was built in 1305 and then expanded on between the 14 and 17 centuries. In the process it has become one of the most glorious castles in Ulster, where it's one of the top attractions for discerning visitors. After a walk around the grounds, most visitors stop in at nearby Bushmill's Distillery for a drop of the famous whiskey before a mandatory stop at the ancient natural wonder that is the Giant's Causeway.
Dunguaire Castle
Dunguaire Castle was built in 1520, upon the original site of King Guaire in the 7-century. Just think of how ancient and venerable that is, a sixteenth century castle built upon an even more ancient one. It is thought to be the most photographed castle in Ireland. Christobel Lady Ampthill, who completed the restoration work, acquired the castle in 1954. It was later purchased by Shannon Development and during the summer months when Dunguaire Castle is open to the public, a Medieval Banquet is held every night with costumed performers who recite Irish poetry and play traditional music.
Glin Castle
Built around 1400 in County Limerick, Glin Castle has the distinction of being voted as the number one castle in Europe by Trip Advisor, and placed on the 2008 Conde Nast Gold List. It stands on the banks of the majestic River Shannon in County Limerick, on 500 acres of pristine land. Visitors stay between March and November and even at other times by special arrangement. Home to the Knights of Glin for over 700 years, the current castle was built in 1785. You can actually feel the current of Irish history run through the place and you'll never forget your visit.
Kilkenny Castle
Set above the River Nore, this great Norman castle has undergone many alterations over the centuries. Strongbow built a castle here as early as 1172 but the structure was entirely destroyed by Donald O'Brien, King of Thomond. It was rebuilt in stone between 1204 and 1213 by Strongbow's son-in-law and successor, William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke. Nowadays its a National Monument that's open daily. Guided tours are available and the castle includes an art gallery and a fine restaurant in basement.
Knappogue Castle
Knappogue Castle in County Clare was built in 1467 and no less an individual than the fearful Oliver Cromwell used it as his base whilst putting the Irish people to the sword in the 17 century. Knappogue was originally the home of the McNamara clan who dominated this area for over 1,000 years. (Fallen into disrepair, it was rescued by a Texan and restored to its former glory, including 15th century furnishings, who simply fell for the place.) For the past ten years during summer there have been nightly banquets and some say the occasional ghost sighting. With a history like that, it's no surprise.
Waterford Castle
Waterford Castle is over 800 years old and you can actually stay there for an unforgettable vacation. Secluded on an island on the River Suir, you can only reach it by taking a boat, preferably in the moonlight. The castle keep is Norman and has been fully restored to its former glory, as have the castle wings, which are Elizabethan.

An estimated 62,000 runners and rompers took over San Francisco's streets during a particularly hot Bay to Breakers 12k run yesterday with Sammy Kitwara, 22, of Kenya breaking the race record by running the course in 33 minutes and 31 seconds.
First place winner Kitwara beat two-time champion John Korir, 33, of Kenya who placed fourth. Kitwara won $40,000.
Teyba Erkesso, 26, of Ethiopia ran the race in 38 minutes and 29 seconds and placed first among the women, beating last year's women's champion Lineth Chepkurui, 21, of Kenya, who placed second by seven seconds.
The exuberantly costumed crowd that came to join in the race or just watch seemed to be on its best behavior, according to the Police Department.
Police detained six people for about four hours for being drunk in public, but no one was arrested, police Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said.
Tomioka also said Sunday she had not heard of any public urination complaints, which was a major problem with last year's race from downtown San Francisco to Ocean Beach.
Organizers for the 98th annual marathon initially issued a zero-tolerance policy on alcohol, floats and nudity in February because the year prior drew so many community grievances.
About 25,000 boozers and partiers signed an online petition to boycott if the bans were not lifted.
About two weeks later, after several meetings with law enforcement, Mayor Gavin Newsom's office and community groups, organizers lifted the bans but still kept strict regulations on floats and agreed to place about 700 portable toilets along the raceway.
Police also issued a zero-tolerance policy on glass bottles, kegs, public urination and public intoxication.

He had just come in from New York where he would sell his tees either on the street or in pop up shops throughout the city – and often got arrested for not having a merchant's license.

Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock has added her voice to the issue of equal pay among women in Hollywood following an essay on the subject by "Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence last week.
"My question isn't so much about the wage because the wage gap, it's a result of something bigger," Bullock said while promoting her latest film "Our Brand is Crisis".
"I've said this so many times but no-one can give me an answer or wants to answer, which is 'why are women thought of as less than? Why have we allowed that thought?' and I am blaming myself as well."
When asked what she thought of Lawrence's essay for the Lenny newsletter, Bullock replied it was "brave, beautiful, right on."
In the essay, Lawrence said she's had it with trying to be "adorable" when it comes to sexism in Hollywood and equal pay for women.
"I think you need someone like Jennifer Lawrence who's hugely respected and successful to stop and say 'You know what? I know I've got all these blessings but here are the facts ... It still happens to me'," Bullock said.

Hi. I'm Pat Patton. I have a very interesting guest today, author, radio show host, and public speaker Rick Gillis.
Listen: MP3 RealPlayer
Rick is a pioneer of 21st century job search, and has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the Houston Chronicle, BlackEnterprise.com, and DallasNews.com. Rick has been heard on NPR, countless radio stations across the United States, and has also been on the air in Australia and Canada. He was also the host of Rick Gillis Employment Radio on Houston-based KFNC-FM, 97.5.
Rick has appeared on television and hosted a 5-part television series for Houston Community College. The Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals awarded Rick the 2009 Ava Platinum Award for TV/On-Camera Talent for that effort.
Rick was instrumental in introducing the first local employment website in Houston in 1997. As a result of his marketing the job board, Rick became a job search expert, author and speaker who has spoken before thousands of people for more than ten years.
Rick is the author of two books. His most recent book on job search is called The Real Secret to Finding a Job? Make Me Money or Save Me Money! Rick regularly presents his job search techniques and tactics to networking and professional associations across the country.
I can see why Rick has speaking engagements throughout the United States. I heard Rick speak at a seminar in December, and I was blown away by his dynamic personality and his connection to the audience. Rick was such a dynamic speaker that I knew that I had to interview him.
Rick's book, The Real Secret to Finding a Job? Make Me Money or Save Me Money. is excellent. It is very unique in its approach to resumes, very informative, and also entertaining. This book has the latest, greatest, and up to date information and is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking for a job right now.
During our discussion of the book, we talked about Rick's innovative short-form/Pre-Resume concept. Rick said in his book, and he also stated it in this interview, that he is comfortable in saying that The Real Secret to Finding a Job? Make Me Money or Save Me Money! is the only and best job research book anyone will ever need.
You can buy The Real Secret to Finding a Job? Make Me Money or Save Me Money on Rick's website, www.rickgillis.com.
A surprising thing about Rick after you see one of his dynamic performances is that when you talk with him he is very low key, and low ego. It comes across very strongly that he uses his visibility and knowledge to make a difference in people's lives. Rick feels that helping people find jobs, and possibly create a new start in life, is his passion and his calling.
During Rick's presentation at the seminar, he mentioned his love of music. When I called him to set up the interview, I wanted to find out more information about his music, and Rick casually mentioned that he has a small recording studio in his home, and he writes and produces all of his music, and can also play all the instruments. Talk about talent and creativity!
Rick mentioned during our interview that he had a recent TV interview with Emmy Award Winner Ernie Manouse, on Ernie's TV show InnerVIEWS on Houston PBS, Channel 8. Rick said that the show will be aired sometime in February.
During our interview, Rick mentioned how excited he was about his most recent project—the creation and management of UCTCRadio.com. The parent company, UCTC Transition Center, is involved in career transition training and has asked Rick to run the marketing "mouthpiece" of the organization. The station will focus on politics, business, issues in the news, education and careers. I am very pleased that Guidry News Service is the first to break the news about UCTCRadio.com.
One of the goals of my interviews is to focus on accomplishing dreams and living lives of excellence. Rick's strong belief that helping people find jobs is his passion and his calling, and his genuine interest in making a difference in people's lives makes him the perfect choice for this interview.
Lynda Guidry, co-owner of the Guidry News Service, is my partner in my interview shows. Lynda did an outstanding job of taking the photos and recording this interview. You can contact Lynda at email@example.com or 409-763-6397.

Over the past year, I've been liking Double X more and more.
Double X is a group blog on Slate that features smart women writers who tackle political topics that they think women might like. While there are plenty of women on the Internet writing great stuff, the topics that they cover are limited – parenting, feminism, lifestyle. Now, I love all those topics and write about them quite a bit here, but I would like to see more women, in the Internet and elsewhere, discuss a wider variety of topics. Double X has been doing that.
I was just flipping through the past week of posts, and I was surprised that many good posts went by with very few comments. Emily Bazelon's post on the insanity defense and the Elizabeth Smart case only recieved 40 comments. The post that recieved the largest amount of attention was a post about Sarah Palin and Kate Gosselin. 4,000 people commented. It was an interesting, well-written post, but did it really deserve so much more attention than a thoughtful post on Elizabeth Edwards or Archie comics?

Chasing Amy
This movie is terrible and should be avoided at all costs. This movie's only redeemable quality is it gives me an opportunity to judge it and explain all the ways that it fails.
Directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma), Chasing Amy was hailed by critics as a triumph, a work of serious contemplation by the typically satirical and irreverent Smith. Starring Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, and Joey Lauren Adams, those involved in making Chasing Amy either never had any queer friends or worse, they did, and wanted to represent them in the worst light possible.
Holden and Banky are comic book artists who have been best friends since they were in grade school and currently share an apartment together. A mutual friend introduces them to Alyssa, and Holden develops a crush on her before she tells him that she's a lesbian. They become friends, during which time Holden begins to fall in love with Alyssa. There are four particularly abysmal scenes that exemplify how horrendous this movie is. In chronological order:
1) Holden and Leslie are talking about sex. Holden attempts to define virginity and after some back-and-forth finally arrives at the conclusion that virginity is lost at the moment of penetration and therefore lesbians never lose their virginity (I really wish I was making this up). Instead of arguing that defining virginity by penetration is heteronormative and exclusionary, Leslie attempts to show how lesbians do penetrate one another because lesbianism a) revolves around making straight men feel comfortable, b) fits into categories created, prescribed and perpetrated by straight men, c) is just a replacement for heterosexual sex, and d) is really, secretly all about penetration because lesbians just haven't found the right penis.
If you care to brave it, you can watch here:
***trigger warning: the video mentions rape***
2) Driving in the car together (in the rain), Holden pulls over to tell Leslie that he loves her so they can't be friends anymore because it's too hard for him. Because he's been brainwashed to think that if he's nice to a girl then she should fall in love with him. Shame on her for being a lesbian! He's a nice guy! So Leslie calls him out on his bullshit and gets out of the car, proceeding to hitchhike in the rain. Holden runs after her, they fight, and then they kiss!!!! They kiss! Because being bullied by a male who is supposed to be your friend is super sexy.
3) Leslie is spending time with her friends, who, of course, are all lesbians. They ask about her love life and she dances around with pronouns, using plural pronouns to avoid using male pronouns. Her friends call her out on it, and when she reveals that she's dating a male, they ostracize her. Because that's what good friends do.
4) And finally, the worst scene of the movie: Holden gets Banky and Leslie together at his apartment. He and Banky have been fighting since he started dating Leslie. Banky claims that Holden's infatuation with Leslie is affecting both their friendship and their work. In this scene, Banky and Leslie are sitting on opposite sides of the couch, and Holden crouches on the floor to explain his brilliant solution. Banky's jealousy is obviously caused by the fact that he's in love with him so if the three of them sleep together, Banky won't be jealous anymore, and they can all be best friends and live happily ever after.
Banky actually agrees to this.
Leslie finally stands up for herself, tells Holden that she's not his whore, and leaves.
That's the best part of the movie.
So avoid this movie at all costs.

1 Comments in Response to Gerald Celente - The American Renaissance Has Begun
This video was made on October 10, 2010; just over a year before MF Global collapsed. That collapse relieved Celente of a considerable chunk of change as his account was confiscated as part of an unsuccessful bail-in . I wonder how that may have affected the rosy view he presented in this video. Just sayin'

High-Risk PCa Found in Black Men Initially on Active Surveillance
Even black men with relatively few comorbidities had increased risks of upgrading or upstaging compared with non-black patients.
Black men with clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) initially managed with active surveillance are more likely than non-black men to have higher-risk disease at radical prostatectomy (RP), according to a new study published online ahead of print in The Journal of Urology
The study findings support the hypothesis that black race itself is an influential factor in PCa progression. Previous studies offered conflicting results because race often could not be investigated apart from complicating factors such as low income and comorbidity burden.
Robert Aboussaly, MD, MS, of University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, and colleagues queried the robust and nationally representative National Cancer Data Base, which captures 70% of new cancer diagnoses in the United States. Of 48,473 American men with clinically low-risk PCa (clinical stage T2a or below, Gleason score 6 or below, and PSA level below 10 ng/mL), 5411 (11.2%) were black. Patients transitioned from active surveillance (AS) and underwent RP from 2010 to 2013. The selected endpoints were pathologic upgrading to Gleason scores above 6 (primary) or above 7 (secondary) and/or upstaging to pathological T3 or 4 or N1 disease.
Black men had 20% greater odds of upgrading at RP to Gleason score above 6 and/or upstaging. In addition, black race independently predicted upgrading to Gleason score above 7 and/or upstaging. Results held after stratification and multivariable modeling accounting for important confounders, including patient age at diagnosis, Charlson-Deyo comorbidity index, income, urban residence, clinical stage, pathological grade, percentage of positive biopsy cores, and pathologic stage. The investigators were unable to adjust for family history of PCa. They also could not analyze long-term oncologic outcomes, which is a limitation.
Black men with clinically low-risk PCa "are more likely to harbor higher-risk disease, which may lead to adverse outcomes," Dr Aboussaly and colleagues concluded. "By itself, this finding does not preclude active surveillance; however, race should be considered as men weigh the risks and benefits of active surveillance versus treatment."

With Christmas right around the corner, many of us will be getting ready for the season with Christmas party preparation, a Christmas tree and our annual end-of-the-year photos. When it comes to sending Season's Greetings, the best Christmas cards are the ones that include the entire family, even the four-legged members.
As if it wasn't hard enough to get everyone together for your holiday photo, including your pets can be even more of a challenge. Whether they're full of energy, need to stay on a leash or heaven forbid they see a squirrel, there are many obstacles to overcome in order to capture a picture perfect moment with your furry friends. Although you may be weary about wrangling your dog into the Christmas portrait this year, once you get the shot, you'll realize all the slobbery licks to the face were worth your while. As you gear up for the holidays, use these Christmas card ideas with dogs and our sleigh full of tips and tricks to get the paws-itively perfect family Christmas photos, including every family member!

Dog Christmas Card Ideas and Tips
If all of your subjects are adults it can be easy to get a great holiday card photo, but throwing kids and dogs into the mix can make things a little more difficult. There are plenty of ways to capture festive photos of your tail-waggers, you just have to get creative. Including everything from outfit ideas, photo shoot locations and tips for getting and keeping your dog's attention, these are some of the best solutions for taking family photos with your dog.
- Wear clothes that are comfortable and that coordinate. Before you pose for the camera, you should plan out what your family will be wearing for your Christmas photos. First and foremost, make sure that everyone is wearing clothes that they're comfortable in and that they don't mind getting a little dirty. Chances are someone will have to wrangle the dog at some point so just make sure that your outfits aren't one's that need to be dry cleaned. There's something about color coordinating outfits that really ties everything together. If your family is planning on wearing similar colors or patterns, go ahead and get the same colored accessory for your dog. Even if it's just a collar or a bow, adding a festive piece to your dog's attire will make for a very cute touch.
- Dress Fido For the Occasion. If you feel like only adding an accessory isn't going to do the trick, you can also dress your dog up for the photos. Make sure you avoid putting your dog in something that might harm him or her or cause any sort of discomfort. Play it safe with reindeer antlers, a santa hat or an ugly Christmas sweater, but those items may even be pushing the comfort level for your dog. Remember that if your puppy isn't comfortable there is no way you'll get the shot. You should also avoid wrapping your dog in Christmas lights or putting him or her in a stocking, the rule is to never put your dog in harm's way.
- Stick close to home. On a day that's filled with capturing special moments and a whole lot of love, a destination photo shoot location may sound appealing. Although, when you're including your four-legged friends in your photos it can be beneficial to stay closer to home. Your dog is used to his or her daily routine and sticking to where there are familiar smells and surroundings will make it easier for your pup to listen to your commands. Plus, you may even be able to take some shots of your dog off the leash, which will be sure to unleash a whole lot of holiday cheer.
- Get your dog tired before the shoot. No matter how calm your puppy may be, it is still going to be difficult to get him or her to stand still with everyone gathered around. Dogs are a smart breed and will most likely pick up on all of the excitement. With everyone all in one place it could be easy for your dog to mistake the Christmas photo shoot for playtime. Before you take your Christmas photo, wear your dog out by going for a walk or playing a game of tug-o-war.
- How to get and keep Fido's attention. Consider your dog's personality when it comes to getting him or her to smile for the camera, or should we say look at the camera… Having a squeaky toy or something that they want on set could be the perfect distraction for your dog. Most dogs are food driven so it won't hurt to keep a couple extra treats in your pocket. You know your dog better than anyone else so go with what you think will work best. If you're unsure, set up a trial run and see what you can do to keep your puppy's attention.
- If you have someone behind the camera it will make it easier to get your dog to look at the camera lens. Just have the photographer keep a toy or treat near the camera lens.
- If you are using a tripod to get your Christmas card shot, designate someone to be in charge of getting your dog pose ready while everyone else says cheese.
- Don't forget to take breaks. Don't put the toys or tug-o-war rope away after the pre-photoshoot play time and don't expect your dog to keep full attention for a whole hour. If you get to take photos for ten minutes, you're doing great. Set up the shot with praise and treats and after you take a couple frames, let your dog go crazy. Dogs will be dogs, so remember to have patience!
- Be Prepared to take lots of photos. Have your photographer take as many photos as possible or if you're taking your Christmas photos yourself, make sure to set the self timer a handful of times. You'll never know which click may end up with the perfectly candid shot and most of the time, the best photos are the ones that aren't posed. So, even when your dog is going a little crazy or taking a break from being pose-perfect keep taking photos.
Family Christmas Card Picture Ideas With Dogs
There are many different ways to incorporate your dog into the family Christmas card this year. Use the following Christmas card picture ideas with dogs to help you get the perfect photo. When it comes to your family holiday card photo, if there's one thing that's for sure, it is that your furry friend needs to be included. Use the following photo ideas to help you decide how you will incorporate Fido in the family holiday photos.
Ready for a close up. If you have a small dog, pick up your pooch and take advantage of getting warm and snuggly with him or her. On the other hand, if you have a 100 pound Labrador Retriever, don't attempt to pick him or her up instead, just lean down and get close.
Have your dog on a leash with the family. If your dog is a little more on the hyper side or if you are taking your Christmas photos at a location that your dog isn't used to, then it is a good idea to keep him or her on a leash, like in this Merry Christmas card example.
Use his or her natural habitat as a backdrop. Taking your photos somewhere your four-legged friend is used to will surely make your pup more comfortable with the camera and all of the excitement. When it comes to location, think backyard, inside the house or a nearby park you frequent often.
Try for an action shot in the snow. Nothing says, "Happy Holidays!" quite like a dog dashing through the snow. Action shots can sometimes be the easiest to get since you aren't trying to keep your dog's attention or get him or her to sit still and look at the camera. If you live in an area where it doesn't snow, try out the sand! There's nothing quite like a beach themed Christmas card.
Choose a dog Christmas card that allows you to add multiple photos. If you already have the perfect solo shot of your pup you would like to include in your Christmas card then select a card that features multiple photos. This way, you'll be able to add the family photos you took and also solo shots of the furriest member.
Have your pooch represent the whole family. If for some reason your family can't all be in the same place at once to get a Holiday photo, you can send a photo of your dog from everyone.

I'm very pleased with myself as I have just finished my first block of the My Town BOM which the Australian Homespun mag is running this year.
The Corner Store designed by Melanie Hurston was my starting point for this project.
I machine-buttonhole stitched it. The stitcheries were through several layers of vlisofix so a sharp needle was needed [:-)] but I did enjoy doing this block.
I'm not sure which block I will start next (I'm quite behind on these!!) - maybe I will just close my eyes and see which one comes to hand first!
happy stitching everyone,

I have noted this pre-site update but it probably got lost in that massive task. Anyway Back Row 3rd from the right is my cousin Jeff Edwards and Middle Row 6th from left is Doug Moody.
I used to live in the Old School Cottage of Portslade County School, I just wondered if you had any other photos of the school at all? Would love to know, email@example.com. Did you have any boys whose surname was Yeates? Many thanks.
Does anyone know the whereabouts of Robert Shipham? I really need to contact him regarding an urgent family matter.
Wendy, I spoke to Bob Shipham in Southlands Hospital only last week if he is the one you are looking for.
Does anyone else remember "The Crush" that 1st year kids were subjected to during their first two weeks at Portslade County? A very real fear of this was instilled into you at 11 years old by boys with older brothers at the school, before you had even left junior school, be it Benfield or St Nicholas. For the first two weeks at the school, before school or during break times, all 1st years were liable to be herded into the corner formed by the flint wall and the brick wall of one of the bomb shelters at the northwest end of the playground. The rest of the school, as a group (or mob more like), would then rush into them and crush them against the walls. Stories of major injuries were rife. By the time I joined the school in 1960 however, the stories were far worse than the reality. Mr Beale and his staff always tried to be vigilant, and although I did witness this happen a couple of times, it always seemed half-hearted and I always seemed to be left out of it. There were also stories of 1st year boys having their heads put down the toilets and flushed but again, to my knowledge, this did not happen during my time at the school. I hated school at the time, but like many others I suspect, look back on it now with very fond memories.
This came as a shock after all these years, seeing my old class mates on the internet. I have also got this photo with all the names on it. I have been living in South Africa since 1981. I'm 6th from the right at the back with my arms folded.
Vic, it's good to hear from you after all these years. I hope life has treated you well since leaving school. If you have the same photo, with all the names, perhaps you could fill in the rest of the blanks?
Hi, I was at the school from 1961 and can remember many of the faces. When I joined the school I can remember there was a water barrel outside Mr Martin's classroom where all the new boys were taken and had their heads dunked. I don't appear to be in the picture, Ih must have been away on that day. Can anybody remember Peter Williams?
Ken, If you didn't join until 1961 you would have been in the year below as all of the boys in this photo joined the school in 1960.
This is for Chris Edwards. Hi Chris. I graduated from PBS in 1961 so I am a few years older than you. Interestingly, like you, I live in Brisbane these days also, so you might like to contact me and say hello. I guess you could reply to this forum if you wish. I became rather patriotic and loyal to my roots by buying a place in Brighton, Qld!! Not really - just coincidence. Look forward to maybe hearing from you.
In 1961 I don't remember anyone in the UK "graduating" from any school. Certainly not Portslade County School for Boys, anyway. Back then we used to leave school - some with GCEs and some without. At that time in this country "graduation" was for university students. It was some time later that the idea of "graduating" from school was imported from America.
Hi. I would like to keep in contact with you all - my email address is email@example.com
Well I have just found this site by accident. I was at the school from 1963-1968. I remember the squash house very well. I also remember the sports. Running over the Downs in all weathers. Somehow I ended up as Head Boy. I am now living in France.
Back Row; Arthur Pumphrey, Geoff Freeman, Lynne Mitchell, Ray Baird, Brian Harding, Vic Voice, John Washer, Graham Bell, Richard Mason, Chris Mason. Jeff Edwards, Paul Silve, Chris Poole. Middle; Steven Williams, Maurice Forrest, David Willard, Tommy Mair(dec), Freddy Crouch, Doug Moody, Ray Guy(dec), Alan Phillips ? Jeff Upton, Robert Shipham ? Bottom; Roger Reeve, Doug Ryde, David Moses, Chris Baker, Peter Lansdale, Mr Martin, Trevor Mayhew, Geoff Boyes, Ray Fuller, Graham Maymonn, Ken Rist(me).
Thanks for that Ken. The ? you have standing next to me is actually John Baker (now living in Spain), the one at the end of the row next to Robert Shipham is something Edwards, I think. And I also think it is David Fuller in the front row, not Ray Fuller.
Hi Ken, you have a good memory. I did remember some of those in the photo but not all of them. Do you still see any of them or keep in touch by any chance?
It would be good to meet some of the above faces again after all these years. So how many of those on the photo above might be up for a reunion? As I don't know the whereabouts of anyone except John Baker (Spain), I would rely on some of the rest of you to sound-out others who might be interested. Even if there only ends up being one or two of us, I think it would be nice to sit with a beer and reminisce. You can contact me via: email@example.com

I finally bought a Whoopie Pie Pan.
I had been eyeing them on Amazon for quite a while, but I wasn't sure that I'd really use it very often. When I found one at TJ Maxx a few weeks ago for only $5.99, I just had to buy it!
My first baking experience with the pan turned out really well, so I wanted to share the recipe with all of you.
Lemon Poppyseed Muffin Tops
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 egg
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 400°. Spray muffin top pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk sour cream, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, poppy seeds and lemon juice.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir only to combine.
Divide batter equally into pan cavities.
Bake 9 - 11 minutes or toothpick inserted in center of muffin top comes out clean.
Tip: Don't overfill the cavities or you will end up with a few sloppy looking muffin tops like mine :)

I want to draw my Australian friends to an app called "Emergency +", available for your smart device (Apple, Android and Windows).
The scenario is simple. You see something terrible: a fire; a car crash; a natural disaster. The standard response is simple: You should dial 000 (the 911 equivalent in Australia).
One of the first things you are asked is usually:
"What is your location? What are you?"
Now that's easy if you are at home…. but what if you are on the road, or at a store, or walking the dog?
The idea is to eliminate confusion over your location.
First you open the App and see this:
Select the map and determine your location:
Then dial 000 using the App (you will get a pop-up like this):
It will start a phone call, at which point you should switch to speaker mode (hands free) and jump back to the app. You now have your address and your exact location (to a number of meters) for you to share with the responder on the phone.
Details of the app are here:
Look in your smart device app store for an app with this icon:
I urge you to install this app and also encourage your friends to do so too.
Sit down with your family and install it on everyone's phone. Do it tonight.
It might save someones life.
