Fishing For Clues
The Banffshire Coast has been built on the foundations of commercial fishing – an industry which also produced a resilient and tenacious breed of people with a fascinating way of life. Over the past century, the fishing industry has changed beyond all recognition – a vibrant fleet of scaffies and zulus has given way to yachts and pleasure craft – but in every nook and crannie of this coastline there are proud salutes to its maritime past.
Many visitors who come to Banffshire looking for clues to piece together their family history come from fishing stock, and often their first port of call will be the harbours where their ancestors worked. From the Thomas Telford-designed harbour at Cullen to the tiny pier at Crovie, every structure has a story to tell.
Traditional fishermen's cottages are still very much evident in the towns and villages along The Banffshire Coast. These houses are nearly always built close to each other in one distinct area – often designated conservation areas. As a result, very few have been knocked down or allowed to fall to rack and ruin, so the chances are that the house where your great-great-great grandfather lived still exists.
Often brightly coloured and pristinely kept, you will see that many cottages are built gable-end to the sea. This meant that the householders did not have fantastic views, but their properties were protected from fierce sea spray and waves during storms. Although many have now been converted to meet modern living requirements, in olden days there would have been no rooms upstairs as this was an area where fishing nets would have been hung and mended.
One place which should be on the must-visit list for those researching their past is the Salmon Bothy at Portsoy. Displays and memorabilia about the fishing industry – in particular the salmon fishing which was integral to trade in the town – come to life in the former ice chambers of the building, which is just a stone's throw from the picturesque 17th century harbour. It also boasts a first-class genealogical research facility.
Local people also put a huge emphasis on the town's past involvement with boatbuilding – the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Traditional Boat Festival takes place every summer – with plans to open a traditional boat building and restoration venue in the near future.
Further along the coast, the Buckie and District Fishing Heritage Museum in Buckie offers up a treasure trove of information. Here, you will find a huge amount of records – written and pictorial – about Banffshire boats and the crews which sailed on them - www.buckieheritage.org
Although generations of brave Banffshire men put to sea, the role of Banffshire's women in developing the industry should not be forgotten. In the days before harbours existed, women had the job of carrying men on their backs to the boat so that they could avoid the discomfort of going to sea in wet clothes. During a visit to The Banffshire Coast you will also be able to learn more about the formidable herring quines who, despite being barely into their teens, travelled with the herring fleet all over the country to carry out the back-breaking task of gutting and packing fish.
Fishing was indeed what our coastline was built on, but the heritage of our farmland is celebrated too. Take a trip inland to Turriff where you can learn more about a cow which played an integral part in the social history of Scotland, or pay homage to the simple, unassuming potato in Cornhill. It is this tiny village that gave the world the Kerr's Pink – cultivated by J. Henry who later moved to Canada - in 1907.

"You are never behind. Jump in where you are." – FlyLady
FlyLady has divided the home up into 5 different zones. Don't worry if you think you have more than 5 zones in your own home (we all do!) follow FlyLady's Zones. Her zones will hit on all the major living areas of your home. Each week, we work in a different zone. Each month, we repeat all the zones. In a few months, you will notice that the main parts of your home will look great. Then you will be ready to tackle some of the "other" areas of your home! Want to learn more about zones? Read the FLYing Lesson about Zones! Download the detailed cleaning lists for all zones. Detailed_Cleaning_Lists
January Zones
These are the zones for the month; mark your calendars!
- Zone 1: Entrance, Front Porch & Dining Room (January 1-6)
- Zone 2: Kitchen, Pantry (January 7-13)
- Zone 3: The Main Bathroom and One Extra Room (January 14-20)
- Zone 4: The Master Bedroom, Bath, Closet (January 21-27)
- Zone 5: The Living Room, Den, Family Room (January 28-31)
How to Begin
When you first start decluttering, cleaning, and organizing your zones, you are encouraged to spend 15 minutes per day decluttering in the current zone. That's it — BabySteps! Set your timer for 15 minutes and clear out those things that you don't use or love. Flybabies, don't forget to keep working on your Morning and Before Bed Routines — do them everyday! (See the FLYing Lessons for more information about this.) Once you have a good start on your routines, it is much easier to do the zone work.
Go to the launch pad to see today's mission in the flight plan!
Before you start, review the rules of zone cleaning:
- Be fully dressed to shoes before you start.
- Your daily cleaning chores should be finished and preferably weekly vacuuming done.
- The room has to be fairly straight.
- Do not pull out more than you can put back in one hour.
- Clean one drawer or one pile at a time.
- If you do not know how to declutter, read the FLYing Lesson on How to Declutter.
- Be consistent. Do a little every day. Don't try to accomplish this in one day; you will burn out and will hate this system. BabySteps!
- Set your timer and work for 15 minutes. That's all. It did not get junked up in one day, and it won't get clean in one day, either. It will take patience and BabySteps. You can do this.
Daily Missions
After you have started decluttering in a zone, you may be ready take a look at our Daily Missions. These are fun! We will send you on a mission in the current zone. You never know where you will end up (or what you will find) when you do one of these Missions!
FlyLady's Detailed Cleaning List
Once you have decluttered the zone (this may take a few months to actually complete —there is no rush here!), then you are ready for FlyLady's detailed cleaning list. You will be amazed at how easy it is to do detailed cleaning when the clutter is gone! What is more amazing is how easy it is to keep it clean when your routines are in place. As FlyLady says, "The house practically cleans itself!"
We also have printable detailed cleaning lists (in PDF format) for each zone.
FLY Spot
Welcome to Zone 3- The Bathroom and one extra room. With holiday guests in and out, it's no wonder our bathrooms look like a bomb went off! But, with the hustle and bustle finally calmed down, it's time to get back in there and get things cleaned! Today's Fly Spot Alert is to replace anything in the bathroom that needs replacing. Did guests use up all your shampoo? Are you short on toilet paper now? How about tissues from runny noses? Whatever might be low or empty, now's the time to replace it!

Could you provide a character sketch of Jaggers?
- print Print
- list Cite
Dickens' great genius is nowhere more clearly shown than in his charactrizations. He needed a lawyer as a pivotal character for his novel Great Expectations, so he created Jaggers, the quintessential British lawyer of the Victorian era. Jaggers loves money and power. He is a big, intimidating man who is capable of terrorizing witnesses on the stand. He is highly competitive. He appears to be the sort of lawyer who will take any case as long as the client is able to pay his fee and as long as he believes he can win it. In other words he is only concerned about the letter of the law and not about truth and justice. This is because he has an exceedingly low opinion of humanity in general. (When he first meets Pip he tells him, "I have had a very large experience of boys, and you're a bad lot.") Jaggers opinion of humanity is brilliantly illustrated in his habit of washing his hands thoroughly after dealing with any person in his office, regardless of the identity of that individual. Jaggers seems totally cynical, brutal, materialistic, and selfish; however, he has a soft side which he endeavors to conceal from the world, including his law clerk. The sentimental side of Jaggers' character is shown when he tells Pip how he wanted to save the beautiful little Estelle from wretched parents and a wretched slum environment by getting the wealthy and lonely Miss Havisham to adopt her. Jaggers seems ashamed of what is actually the good side of his character and tries his best to hide it from the world. No doubt his profession has had a great deal to do with shaping his character and personality.

How to plan your jewelry making workstation
Tips on how to plan and establish your jewelry work area.
If you would like a place to find bench making plans, please visit my guide on Building Your Own Jewelers Bench.
Before you go ahead and set up a jewelers bench ask yourself a few questions:
-Do I have the space for a jewelers bench to fit my needs?
-Are there electric outlets near where I want my bench set up?
-Will I have sufficient lighting?
-Is the location near where I can be easily distracted?
Those are just a few of many questions you can ask yourself about your workstation, and there are many more questions you can ask yourself about getting into the jewelry profession, but if you are reading this guide, I would think you already have made the decision to make jewelry as a profession or a hobby.
Your jewelers bench must be a location where your creative juices can flow freely. It must be a place where you feel comfortable. Remember that every item you make will eventually be sold or given as a gift. Because each piece of jewelry is made and holds a bit of your creativity, it is important that nothing can come between you and your creative flow.
When looking for a bench, remember that some of the most simple and inexpensive solutions are the best. I currently work at a bench that I built myself, but if you do a quick search, you can find benches that won't break the bank. www.contenti.com currently lists a hardwood bench on the cheap. Keep in mind that some jewelers benches can get up into the thousands range, so if you don't have a lot of money you can easily make your own. I may do a hub in the future on building your own bench.
If you want to be successful at jewelry making there are a few things that you should have at your bench. Now this is not an exhaustive list, and it will be different for different types of jewelers, but I think you will get the general idea. All these items should be within reach so you do not have to get out of your chair to manipulate them. This list does not cover the myriad of tools you could use, just the things directly relating to your bench.
-a small bench vise
-a jewelers bench pin
-lots of good lighting (Ott lights are great!)
-Firebrick or charcoal blocks
-a flexible magnifying glass
-an organizer cabinet or drawer
-a bench block
-a magnetic torch holder
-a third hand tool
That seems to be pretty good. I know that there are probably tons of things that could be used on your bench, but I think I listed all the major fixtures of mine.
Next you are going to have to look for the most comfortable chair you have ever been in. You are going to spend hours there making jewelry right? It is very important that you select a chair that sets you at the right height to your bench and has good support for your body.
Pad the floor with one of those squishy kitchen floor mats. Believe me; you'll thank me for suggesting one of those. Remember that this area is where you are going to be spending a lot of time. You want to spend that time in comfort right?
Let's see, big bench full of tools, nice comfy chair, padded floor, plenty of light and did I say more tools than you can count? When you set up your bench, just make sure it fits you. Use my advice and add your own to it. Own your process; get good, really good at what you want to do. Most important, have fun with it. Make sure it is something you can enjoy for years to come and you will realize that your bench setup is just the tip of the iceberg.

We have all heard someone teach on the topic of forgiveness, and we know all about it, yada yada yada. And yet, we still do not consistently practice it. Let me see if I can place it in a different light.
When you forgive someone, you may still hold them responsible for the offense, however, you stop holding the offense against them, i.e. you stop beating them up for it either directly or indirectly. Now, you may file the offense away in your mental rolodex (as you probably should so that you will remember what/who you're dealing with), but you learn from the experience and release yourself from any anger or vengeance associated with the offense. This is forgiveness. [Read more…]

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by palmetto 1, Jul 17, 2008.
Is the 7iron deck just as good the 7iron11 deck what is the difference between them.
you might want to check JD's website. They usually have a virtual diagram of the deck that you can move around. I own the 7 Iron II deck but i've never owned the first one.
They beefed up the old 7 Iron deck and put a skirt around the bottom for more strength. They should cut close to the same. Here's a link.
The biggest difference between the two is the blade speed. In 2005, the 7IronII came out with a blade tip speed of 18,000. The 7Iron has blade speed of 16,500. I run a 2004 737 (7Iron) that I discharge with. It cuts bahia grass exellent. My exmark is terrible on bahia but exellent on St. Augustine and Centipede.
I'm sorry, the 7IronII came out in 2006.
who cares when it came out!!!!!! Its the best damn deck every made in this industry!!!
Yea, it's a shame they don't have anything worth hanging them on anymore (800 series in general).
yeah, now that is the truth!!!! That's why my new toro is getting the job done!!!!!!!!!!
i know what you mean. I've only owned quik traks but i heard that their 700 series was superb.
I have both 7 iron 1 & 2, they both work great. As was said before main difference is blades tip speed, the 2 on small lawns is actually a little to much for my liking, it will through grass three passes +. Both cut fine.

Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview School District 89
Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview School District 89 is a school district with its headquarters in Melrose Park, Illinois near Chicago, United States. It serves Melrose Park, Maywood, and Broadview.[1] As of 2013 it has 10 schools serving grades Kindergarten through 8, with a total of 5,500 students.[2]
In a period of 10 years ending in 2013, the district's student demographics changed from 58.2% black to 59.1% Hispanic due to an influx of Hispanics into Maywood. Michael Robey, the superintendent of the district, stated that Hispanic families bought houses vacated due to the collapse of the United States housing bubble.[3]
As a result of the influx of the Hispanic students, the schools added bilingual and English-learning programs. Robey stated that he hopes to use the new demographics to teach Anglophone students Spanish and Hispanophone students English, characterizing the situation as "a win-win opportunity."[3]

I have replaced the water pump, timing rollers, and thermostat. Still overheating after about 20 miles. It helps to have the heater on full blast, but it gets hot when it's 95 or 100 outside and I am stuck in socal traffic with the heater on. Maybe needs a new radiator and hose. I am just tired of putting money into this lemon. I would rather sell it along with my 81 F350 dually Custom utility truck, or trade both for a long bed pick up truck.

Carnation Wastewater Treatment Plant, United States of America
On 8 September 2008, at the 23rd-annual WateReuse Symposium in Dallas, the newly completed Carnation Wastewater treatment plant won the "Small Project of the Year Award".
The city's new membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant – officially dedicated at the beginning of June 2008 - provides tertiary level treatment and sidesteps the earlier reliance of both residents and local businesses on ageing septic tanks, which had long been seen as an obstacle to further development.
The full scheme includes the treatment plant itself, a new conveyance pipeline and discharge, together with the installation of the city's first centralised sewer system. The plant has an initial treatment capacity of up to 1,500m³ of wastewater per day, which could be expanded to treat around 1,800m³/d to meet projected growth.
The project cost was $23m, with the membrane system costing around $900,000: $1.3m of the budget was met through federal funding. The plant serves almost 2,000 people in urban areas of Carnation and will have the capacity to serve around 4,000 by 2030.
Carnation wastewater treatment plant background
Historically, Carnation had relied on individual septic tanks and drain fields in the absence of a central sewerage system. In 1987, however, the number of these found to be inadequate coupled with soil surveys and the likelihood of the unprotected aquifer becoming contaminated led to major public health concerns.
The city council recognised that no attempt to bring about sustainable, long-term economic revitalisation would be possible without first addressing the lack of a centralised wastewater collection and treatment system.
Consequently, in July 2002, after a series of engineering studies and considerable discussion, an agreement was reached between the city and King County.
Under the terms of this, the county built the new wastewater treatment facility, while the city designed and built a local sewer system.
As a result of this initiative, it is expected that some 90% of the potentially 'sewer-able' areas in the region, which were not served by a sewer system in 2000, will now be connected by 2030, with 100% connection by 2050.
The new WWTP will protect the nearby Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers and, as Carnation lies in an urban growth area defined by the state Growth Management Act, will play an important role in helping the city manage the increased demands made by the expected expansion. It has been predicted that the population will double within five years of the plant start-up.
Wastewater treatment plant
The finished facility occupies about two acres of the ten-acre city-owned site, which also accommodates the new wastewater pump station alongside the treatment plant itself.
Although the new facility is relatively small – being only designed to serve the city of Carnation and its designated urban growth area – the water quality standards remain stringent. As a result the plant provides tertiary treatment in order to guarantee the high removal-levels demanded for suspended solids, nitrogen and phosphorous.
King County conducted trials on a number of potentially suitable systems for both this application and the larger Brightwater project, including reverse osmosis and fuzzy upflow filtration, before finally selecting MBR technology.
Wastewater is conveyed to the Head Works via an airvac pumping station, the influent undergoing a conventional treatment regime on first arrival at the plant, comprising screens, clarifiers and grit removal. The final stage process, which employs the MBR ultra-filtration technology, contains five membrane cassettes, to provide the plant's 1,800m³/d design capacity.
Systems from a number of providers were considered, with GE's ZeeWeed MBR eventually being chosen for both this and the larger Brightwater project. The membranes lie immersed in the mixed liquor within an aeration vessel. Membranes in the MBR system suck wastewater through hollow fibres with microscopic pores. They can filter particulate matter, including individual bacteria. A pump draws water through them, while intermittent airflow entering from the bottom of the module ensures that the surface of the fibres remains clean.
Highly effective removal of both soluble and particulate biodegradable material is achieved within the system as a result of the elevated biomass concentrations supported.
The combination of the high quality effluent produced, together with proven operational reliability, were major factors in the adoption of this technology.
The reclaimed water undergoes final UV disinfection prior to discharge, the settled solids being trucked off-site weekly for disposal.
Discharge arrangements
Initially the treated water was transported along a 12in pipe to be discharged via a river outfall at Carnation Farm Road Bridge, some one-and-a-half miles from the plant. In May 2009, the reclaimed water was discharged to the 59-acre Chinook Bend wetlands along the Snoqualmie River to enhance the local hydrology and water quality. This wetland is the primary discharge point of the plant. However, the river outfall will remain operational, to serve as a backup to be used in exceptional circumstances.
The plant produces Class A reclaimed water, the highest quality of the four classes identified by Washington State and suitable for irrigation or non-potable industrial processes. The treated water is made available for irrigation, particularly in the summer and its potential use on park or agricultural land is under evaluation.
Enhancements at the wetland include new water control structures, additional four acres of habitat and plantation of about 15,000 trees and native shrubs. The plant also helps to preserve wildlife habitat and fish at the Chinook Bend Natural Area.
Key players
King County was responsible for the design, construction and operation of the new treatment plant; the city of Carnation designed and built the allied local wastewater collection system. The plant design team comprised Carollo Engineers and Michael Willis Architects. The 2004/2005 water conservation and demand analysis was done by Aquacraft, the Pacific Institute and Carollo. GE Water & Process Technologies supplied the membrane systems.
King County worked in partnership with Ducks Unlimited, a non-profit group dedicated to wetland conservation, to design the wetland discharge project.

For those who haven't heard, Diana Wynne Jones passed away early yesterday morning, in hospice after a resurgence of illness.
I joined the DWJ mailing list last year, after thinking of writing to her and hearing that she was ill. In August she had stopped chemotherapy and radiation, so it seemed only a matter of time — but through the fall she rallied, seeming to go into remission, and we could subsist in the fantasy that maybe something magical would happen and we wouldn't lose her at all. But when the message headed just 'DWJ' came in yesterday morning, I knew what it was before opening it, and like the day Marion Zimmer Bradley left us years ago, it was as if the world became a little more quiet, a little less bright.
Diana was one of those authors whose work and life loomed so large that it's difficult to know what could possibly be said about her, other than that if you haven't read Howl's Moving Castle or the Chronicles of Chrestomanci you should go out and read them right now. (Those of you who follow "books about gryphons" should absolutely go read all of the Derkholm books right away.) Her work was boundlessly imaginative but warm as a hearth at the same time, and you knew going into one of her stories that even if everything wasn't quite going to be all right in the end, it would be true.
Howl's is probably her most well known work, and not just because of Hayao Miyazaki's transformation of it (which I like more as time goes by, though when it first came out was struck by how very different it was from the Howl I knew). In a way it was like a crystallization of her many stories, intricate and puzzling but wild and beautiful at the same time. And Howl himself is a character for the ages. In him, and in Diana's other stories, you can see how she is perhaps the only author who could look at J. K. Rowling's work and say "I think she may have picked up a few things from me", and make you think — you know, she's probably right.
Also well known is the Tough Guide to Fantasyland, a classic romp that no fantasy writer or reader should be without. In it you can see her thorough dedication to the cause and craft of fantasy itself. One of the things I have always admired about her was how involved she was in the culture of fantasy, how interactive, how thoughtful. And, as a writer, how she never stopped growing. The Pinhoe Egg came out just a couple of years ago, and it was as bright and heartfelt as anything she wrote two and three decades earlier.
She was one of the great masters, and her magic was a special one. I will miss her.

After reading an article in yesterday's Globe about the fresh peach and blueberry ice creams at Benson's in West Boxford we took a ride up there to sample them. The article stressed that Benson's was one of the few places that uses local peaches, and local, wild blueberries. The ice cream was wonderfully rich and fresh, but the flavor wasn't nearly as intense as I expected. Actually pretty bland. And not as good, I think, as Kimball Farms in Bedford.
Any recommendations on where to get fresh peach ice cream?

What to do with a Pumpkin
When you've carved the perfect Jack O'Lantern and all is said and done, take a moment before you throw the rest of your pumpkin in the compost bin. You can use those bits and pieces of pumpkin, and we're going to tell you how!
Grab those seeds and separate them from the stringy parts of the pumpkin. Rinse them off, coat them in olive oil and roast them for 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Now you have yourself a delicious little snack full of protein, zinc and omega 3's. Try these with some pumpkin pie spice, for an extra tasty bite.
While you're there, roasting the extra pieces of pumpkin flesh and whizzing it them up in the blender will give you the kind of pumpkin you're used to buying in a can at the store. Since we all know homemade food tastes best, you can use this puree to create comforting fall treats like pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie and the ever-popular pumpkin spice latte.
This Halloween go green! See if you can make a meal from the offcuts of your Jack O'Lantern – we challenge you.

Last week, my 14-year-old and I were making a batch of chocolate dipped marshmallows - and when we ran out of the straws we were using to put in the marshmallows and then ran out of marshmallows and still had lots of chocolate left, we needed to find other things to dipped. We have made chocolate dipped pretzels on other occasions, which he really enjoyed, so I pulled out a pack of pretzels and he went to town.
Although he doesn't spend as much time in the kitchen with me now that he is a teen, there was a time when he was my right hand man in there. He'd put on his apron and his real chef hat that I picked up for him at Gordon Food Service and he'd go to work. Last year I took him to a library program on candy making and he dipped all kinds of things - cookies, fruits, pretzels and more.
So, with the leftover chocolate, we dipped lots of pretzels and then grabbed a few cookies, too. The sky is the limit when it comes to chocolate dipping. Just like bacon, it makes everything better. :)

Festival Watch
Big Apple Anime Festival 2003
Amy Harlib | Among the myriad advantages and conveniences of living in the middle of New York City is that it only takes a short subway ride to get me to the Big Apple Anime Festival (BAAF), an annual three-day event held every Labor Day weekend at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in midtown and at the Leow's Theater directly across the street.
The BAAF offers convention-type events dealing with every aspect of the anime and manga business, creation and fandom, scheduled in many hotel meeting rooms and ballrooms: panel discussions with prominent artists/directors/producers in the field; autograph sessions with the celebrity guests; fannish "cosplay" (masquerades) and talent contest activities; do-it-yourself workshops; gaming; a dealers room filled with merchandise; an art show; parties/social gatherings; and tons of video/DVD screenings of features, shorts, and TV series episodes.
As if that were not enough, across the street in the Leow's Theater, the BAAF schedules the most prestigious anime features with two simultaneous tracks of screenings with enough repeats to make it possible to see most of what's offered—at the cost of missing the action in the hotel. A really rabid otaku would be insanely frustrated at not being able to be in two places at once!
Since I am primarily a film fan I chose to spend my limited time attending the shows at the Leow's Theater. Part of the joy of seeing films at one of these special festivals is the presence of directors and producers and artists who participate in Q&A sessions (with translators when necessary) after the movies—a treat that vastly enhances one's viewing pleasure.
At this 2003 BAAF in particular, guests of honor included: founder of Mad House animation studio Masao Maruyama; Mad House artist Takeshi Koike; industry promoter Tatsumi Yoda; animation director Yasuhiro Irie; anime director Satoshi Kon; manga artist Tsukasa Hojo; animation director Takashi Nakamura; manga artists Tomoko Taniguchi and Hyun se Lee and voice actors Liam O'Brien, Lisa Ortiz, Eric Stuart and many more. There was a particularly interesting segment of programming focusing on the growth of Korean anime and manga (or rather, manwha) as distinct styles of their own, emerging from overwhelming Japanese influence.
Prominent anime features shown that I missed included: Initial D: The Movie; Parasite Dolls; The Sensualist; and Nasu: Summer in Andalusia. Live-action pictures on offer were The Returner and Ichi the Killer, which I also did not get a chance to see. I did get to enjoy Spriggan; X: The Movie; Vampire Hunter D; The Animatrix; Millennium Actress; Mangchi, the Hammerboy; A Tree of Palme; and the world premiere of Tokyo Godfathers—several of which are reviewed in fps.
At the BAAF, anyone with the slightest interest in anime and manga will have a marvelous time being entertained while learning about the immense diversity of these Asian art forms that are rapidly, deservedly gaining vast Western audiences. The die-hard otaku will be in orgiastic ecstasy, which pretty much describes this reviewer's reaction—and I only got to see a few of the feature films! The array of related events occurring this past Labor Day Weekend boggles the mind, but you can an excellent idea of the complete experience at the BAAF website.

A: It depends. If you call employees back into the office, your reimbursements are fully taxable because you're reimbursing them for their normal commuting expenses. However, reimbursements aren't taxable if employees drive somewhere other than the office, and they could have their mileage reimbursed as a business expense.
Key: The accountable plan rules still apply, so employees must substantiate their business miles.

Ian Holloway buoyed by Crystal Palace's draw with Stoke City
Ian Holloway believes Crystal Palace are now looking like "my team" after drawing with Stoke City 0-0.
Last Updated: 06/01/13 8:37am
The Championship outfit were the better side for much of the match, but despite Wilfried Zaha, Jermaine Easter and Yannick Bolasie all forcing fine saves from Thomas Sorenson, they were unable to break Stoke's resistance.
Holloway admitted that, going into the game, he would have preferred to be knocked out rather than taken to a replay.
However, after an impressive display, he is now relishing another crack at one of the top flight's toughest teams.
"I wanted to win or lose, basically, and wasn't bothered which as long as we had a good performance," Holloway, who took over as Palace manager two months ago, said.
"But the way the game went I'm glad we didn't lose because I don't think my boys deserved to lose.
"It's looking like my team now, and if that's after eight weeks, I'm looking forward to the rest of the four years."
Other than not getting a win, the only downside for Holloway was a knock picked up by star player Zaha.
The 20-year-old, who is a target for Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, was a constant threat until his afternoon was ended prematurely by a late lunge from Ryan Shotton, which was missed by referee Neil Swarbrick.
Holloway added: "There were a few strange decisions for both sides today.
"He has caught Wilf and Wilf's had to go off. He had crossed it, [so] if we don't score, that's a foul, isn't it? But Wilf will be fine. He's got another foot."

text: Arturo Alvarez-Demalde – How Is Real Estate Affected By Oil Prices? Posted on: July 20, 2016 by Tim DeCapua Arturo Alvarez Demalde Arturo Alvarez-Demalde has written about how oil prices in Mexico and the United States are having an effect on the way real estate is priced in both countries. Each country is fluctuating all the time because of the way the markets work, and this article explains how the markets change in response to one another. Oil prices and real estate prices are quite different, but they are inextricably-linked. #1: Oil Prices Have Stayed Low Oil prices have stayed low for quite some time, and most drives have noticed they are spending less on fuel overall. Their fuel costs are remaining low, but the real estate market is seeing extra money come in because consumers have more ash to spend. The United States real estate market recovered at the same time that oil prices dropped. The two were not necessarily connected, but they happened concurrently. #2: Real Estate In Mexico Was Slow To Recover Mexico was one of the slowest-recovering countries from the global financial crisis, and their economy has been hit by a loss of oil revenue. The country does not have a middle class large enough to support greater real estate investment, and Mexico is still hoping for a resurgence in their market. The Mexican market may recover when oil prices recover, but they must exist in a recession-free society with higher oil prices. #3: Will Real Estate Every Come Back Completely? Real estate prices will recover completely when it has had time to come back from such a drop in prices. The drop in prices is starting to reverse itself, but the markets must be patient. Prices cannot truly recover until they are met with higher oil prices. Higher oil prices force higher volume in trading, and the high oil prices will help bring money in the market for commercial or industrial investment. #4: Why Is Real Estate Important? Everyone lives or works in some form of real estate, and the real estate market indicates how well the economy is performing. Someone who is investing in real estate will see higher prices as oil prices recover, but Americans are already enjoying record prices in certain cities. The price of oil has dropped off so significantly that investors are waiting for the prices to rebound. A rebound of oil prices will bring back higher real estate values, and the two will continue to grow together. The American market is already on the rise, but Mexico may be next.

ICLEI South Asia, in partnership with Rajkot Municipal Corporation and with support from World Resources Institute (WRI) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has conducted a half-day project launch workshop in Rajkot, Gujarat on November 18, 2016.
The workshop was primarily organised to identify locally-appropriate building efficiency policies and actions for Rajkot city. Other than the representatives from Rajkot Municipal Corporation, people representing builders' association, architects association, civil engineers association, local NGOs, industries and commerce, academicians and experts also participated in the workshop.
The event has enabled the stakeholders to know the city leaders' commitment to pursue building efficiency actions. In a brief address to open the workshop, the mayor Dr. Jaimanbhai Upadhyaya and the commissioner of Rajkot Municipal Corporation Mr. Banchhanidhi Pani shared the historical commitments and actions made and implemented by Rajkot city to address limited conventional resources. They also assured to take strong and innovative steps in future to enable the city to achieve sustainable development. Ms. Darshita Shah, Deputy Mayor, Rajkot Municipal Corporation and Mr. Bharath Jairaj of WRI were also present during the launch.
Dr. Jaimanbhai Upadhyay, Honorable Mayor of Rajkot Municipal Corporation speaks at the workshop
The workshop was seen as a platform to provide with many options and opportunities which a local government can have to build policies and implement actions across building efficiency space. Experts in building efficiency, green rating and sustainable low carbon housing shared information and their experiences with examples so as to set the context for the further rounds of discussions and to develop a shared vision regarding the importance of building efficiency and prioritizing certain policies and actions for further implementation.
A group discussion was facilitated in the latter half of the workshop where participants were divided into different groups and were asked to discuss and prioritize the policies and actions in the areas of energy, renewable energy, building codes & standards, incentives, awareness etc. At the end of the group discussion, each of the group representatives presented the summary of recommendations to be taken up under the project. The workshop also helped to identify and engage a diverse set of stakeholders who are critical to the effective implementation of building efficiency actions locally and to identify partners who are interested in assisting the city to achieve the project goals.
At the end of the workshop the municipal commissioner shared his views on each of the prioritized actions and policy areas and recommended to establish a shared body of knowledge amongst stakeholders with different levels of technical expertise which will eventually help the city to identify and refine the specific actions to further assess and potential implementation.

Skip to comments.Child taken from womb by social services
Posted on 11/30/2013 6:23:19 PM PST by Libloather
A pregnant woman has had her baby forcibly removed by caesarean section by social workers.
Essex social services obtained a High Court order against the woman that allowed her to be forcibly sedated and her child to be taken from her womb.
The baby girl, now 15 months old, is still in the care of social services, who are refusing to give her back to the mother, even though she claims to have made a full recovery.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Didn't Mia Farrow star in a movie about this?
Psalm 139:13
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mothers womb.
Ssssh, don't tell them that, once they figure out that we have private hospitals as well as the NHS, then they'll think it's ok to come here and criticise in person
I suppose the question is germane. Sawney Beane, truth or myth?
"...The Brit govt has basically assaulted her,..."
Nah... yer overreacting....
EVERYBODY knows that When governments do stuff like this it's clearly not assault. It's "for the common good".
It's only "assault" when YOU fight back, dontcha know... or try to prevent them from harming you. THEN it's "assault" and whatever else they can dream up.
Gots ta get it right, friend!!!!
(hope I don't need the /sarc tag here...)
Hmmm, lol.
Good question, probably myth, perhaps based on some reality, but like many myths, grossly exaggerated.
BTW, I am not blindly defending Essex NHS in this case, I am as uneasy as everyone else here, I am just pointing out that such case aren't exclusive to old Limeyville.
You still living over here, in this dump of a country?. Why, lol.
Essex Social Services (or SS if you wish lol), not NHS.
And to top it off they refuse to allow her to have her child back because she may suffer a relapse, even though she is now taking her medication.
So they can take a child away just on the possibility that someone with a condition may relapse?
"Bipolar disorder is highly heritable. The baby has a high chance of being bipolar as well."
I've suffered from panic attacks occasionally all my life. My Doctors advised blowing in a paper bag and physical exercise first before taking meds. I never knew that in Briton a panic attack is cause for having your child taken away, but of course she is the one that called the police.
Its a better place career-wise for me and beside that, she-who-must-be-obeyed is from England and I promised her we'd move back if she kicked breast cancer. She did, and after paying off 10k in medical bills, we packed up and moved over, other than the weather, I love it here.
None of the government's business.
Something like that would alone cause serious mental anguish and problems. Talk about trying to send someone over the edge.
Sooner or later, the government will assume control over that which it presides. Making abortion in Roe V. Wade a federal issue which it is not (as well as many other thing the Feds interfere with unconstitutionally) allows the government to close in on assuming control over pregnancies. The "progressives" and socialists would like to make everything and everyone property of the federal government. They already do pretty much whatever they want. The next step isn't too far from that.
If this bi-polar woman had decided to have an abortion the British state would have paid for it and applauded her "right to choose" to "terminate her pregnancy" and expel the "fetal tissue" from her body. They would not have accepted an argument that she was not mentally fit to make such a decision or that the unborn child had any recognized rights. By intervening in this case and forcibly taking the baby, the British state has effectively recognized that the fetus is in fact an unborn child deserving of protection. They are blinded by their hypocrisy and will never admit the obvious.
Whether or not thats true, one thing IS true: is it is none of the government's business.
Okay, how is that even remotely ethical?

Have you heard that old saying, "Time really flies when you're having fun?"
In the case of the 2015 DMC 61 Day Health Challenge, that ancient maxim seems especially true. Has it really been more than eight weeks since we launched our exciting journey together through the world of "Less sugar, more steps, eat more fruit"?
Indeed it has.
But before we declare the DMC's 2015 holiday health-education campaign to be a ringing success and start wishing each other a Happy New Year, I want to take a moment to salute yet another Challenge participant for her outstanding diet-and-exercise accomplishments during the past two months.
Her name is Rosalind ("Roz") Thompson – and she recently told me (with totally understandable pride) how she managed to lose about 20 pounds during the Health Challenge, while also improving her score on a blood-sugar test designed to help measure her risks for developing adult-onset diabetes.
For Ms. Thompson – a veteran nurse (RN, MSN) who also owns an MBA and has enjoyed a fabulous, 37-year career as a care provider at the DMC – the Challenge began in earnest after she received an alarmingly high blood-sugar score during a similar test back in October.
Troubled by that score and by the fact that she was also significantly overweight, the hard-working Ms. Thompson (who currently serves as Clinical Coordinator of Inpatient Psychiatry at DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit) decided eight weeks ago that she was going to take the Challenge "Pledge" – and would therefore refrain from consuming the "empty calories" contained in candy, soda pop, doughnuts and other "junk" foods . . . while also engaging in moderate exercise frequently and including more fruit in her daily diet.
And she did!
"I gave up my Ruby Red Squirt [soda pop]," a proud Roz Thompson told me the other day, "along with my fried chicken and other sweets. And I want to thank you – and the DMC Challenge – for providing me with the motivation I needed to better manage my blood sugar and lose weight!"
Like the triumphant Roz Thompson, hundreds and hundreds of Detroit-area residents in recent weeks have benefited from the lowered health risks and the sense of empowerment that can flow from making the decision to cut out the nutrition-less sugar in their lives and begin exercising more often in order to improve their overall health.
Among the beneficiaries of this year's challenge, we can also include many of the 1,600 officers and staffers at the Detroit Police Department. Led by their health-savvy Chief James Craig, hundreds of DPD members worked enthusiastically to meet the goals of this year's challenge – and will now go on to continue meeting them in a year-long health-and-fitness partnership with the Detroit Medical Center.
As the third annual version of the DMC Challenge winds down and the New Year looms, it's good to know that so many Detroit-area residents have "gotten the message" – and that many of them will continue to work hard in the coming year at "eating healthier" and "exercising more often" in order to enjoy better health.
Here's wishing all of us a healthy and happy New Year . . . and I'll see you again in October for the DMC 61 Day Health Challenge of 2016!

There was a recent study done in the UK and 27% of British Muslims are Isis sympathisers. 50% endorse hate preachers and 10% agree that terrorist attacks on citizens are justified. World wide there are similar statistics which add up to 450 million Muslims supporting it.
An interesting fact. .. the crock term islamophobia was actually adopted by liberals taken from al-queda

Pippa Middleton Gets Engaged With Three-Carat Asscher Ring
London, UK— At least one affluent Millennial-age couple isn't opting to celebrate their engagement with an experience instead of a diamond: Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, is engaged. According to this report in The Telegraph, her boyfriend of a year, Eton-educated millionaire James Matthews, proposed with a stunner of a ring—an Asscher cut that looks to be upwards of three carats, surrounded by an octagonal halo of round diamonds and set in either platinum or white gold, according to Annabel Davidson, the paper's luxury jewelry expert. Other experts concur that the size appears to be at least three carats, though estimations of its value vary from £150,000 to £200,000+ ($197,000 - $262,000).

Leg Cramps In Children
[Leg cramps in children.]
(The exact question has been lost but was about a boy with leg cramps taking a long time to diagnose and difficult to wear, expensive orthotics.)
Glad to be of help… actually leg cramps and foot pain is the second most frequently asked question I get from viewers of my website – second only to Tonsillectomy.
The more I research the topic for all the questions I'm asked the more I realize just how UNDER-diagnosed the problem is in children and teens; and just what an amazingly wide range of skill level and treatment patterns the doctors who treat children have.
Unfortunately, I hear all to commonly that a child's doctor has just been "watchfully ignoring" the problem. Then when they are "forced" to face it the treatment is frequently not complete.
Then, when treatment is initiated, the child may have experienced the pain for so long that they think it is normal! So, when they obtain even just a little help it seems adequate – as you allude to in your question.
There are many styles of orthotics; from those naturally inside cowboy boots, to "Dr Scholl's", to hard pieces of bent plastic, to good flexible-but-firm polymer with a substantial arch (Theta) angle. [Do a Google search for "Theta Orthotics" – to see what I mean.]
They are not inexpensive – so be sure and get the best ones from the beginning.

A Baby at Build Basic!
Dan and I could not be more thrilled to share that we're expecting a baby boy in December! It seems like just yesterday I was moving to the East Coast to pursue writing with an internship at Fine Homebuilding when I met Dan, and realized I wasn't just here for the summer.
The day we met, Dan was headed to play golf, and I was on day one of driving around trying to get my lay of the land. His friend cancelled on golf last minute, and I got lost, and somehow we both ended up at the same lakeside restaurant. The waitress there brought me a drink and said it was from him (without telling him!). The rest is history—including the times we've made our way back to the restaurant to thank the waitress for playing cupid.
Needless to say, a lot has happened in the past 10 years, through the hustle and bustle of my years at This Old House magazine in Manhattan to the long quiet days in the workshop here at Build Basic. Through it all, Dan has been the voice in my head pushing me to follow my dreams…which can feel daunting when you strike out on your own, and work with lumber that doesn't talk back. Nonetheless, we are very blessed and thank God everyday for this amazing adventure we're on, including this new addition to our family!

A missing 14-year-old girl was found in good condition Wednesday, two days after she disappeared from Highland High School.
Olivia "Liv" Sampson called her mother Wednesday afternoon, a family spokesperson said. She apparently ran away and had been with friends in Salt Lake City, the spokeswoman said. Her parents picked her up and drove her to Salt Lake City police, the spokeswoman said.
Sampson was last reported seen Monday morning when her mother dropped her off at Highland High School, 2166 S. 1700 East. A short time later, a school counselor called the mother and said Sampson had checked out of school

My heart just sunk,we have lost an iconic figure in our lifetimes.
PS if anyone send me a dirty joke about Nelson Mandela you gonna get it in the neck.
What can I say, he said it himself. A remarkable man in many ways.
There isn't a bad soul which has not been changed by Nelson to forgive and forget..and unite.
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountain top of our desires.
Nelson Mandela
RIP Mr Mandela
Great man that will be remembered forever
RIP Mr Mandela
there is no living being who changed so much in one lifetime. may he rip and never be forgot
- - - Updated - - -
if more people followed his principals we would live in a better world
Good to see a minutes silence for Mandela before the start of the 2nd day of the 2nd ashes test.
Now he is truly free....
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
Rest in peace Mr Mandela
Let's all hope that South Africa will continue on a positive journey without his influence.
I studied Mandela at university back in the early 1990's. A remarkable man, who will be greatly missed.

I had originally planned to do 2 wreaths in this segment, but the post would be tooooo long. So I will split it up into Fake Green Wreaths and Fancy (non green) Wreaths. I say Fake Green Wreaths because this is not Floral Decor Class and Real green wreaths do not bend and stay.where you want them to.
Both of the wreaths you will see here were bought (and since returned) at Target, to show that pretty things can be made on any budget. A bigger budget just gives you more options.
Here we GO!
Clear off your work area and look over your wreath.
How are the accents (the fancy things) attached. Wire is great because you can move things. Hot glue not so much, unless you are really handy with a knife.
We also want to see what these accents are made off. The main stem of these berries is wire but the rest is plastic. This means I'll have some movement of them, but not much. It also means I have to be careful playing with them because the will break easily.
Are you happy with where the bow is? Your bow Does NOT have to be on top – It can be any where you so desire to place it. (contrary to my former employer who had all bows centered and on top. Although I think this is one of their idiot proofing steps.)
What does the back of the wreath look like? Think about where you are going to hang it. Inside or outside, and if you want to cover the back of the wreath with something so your wall or door do not get scratched up. If you want to cover the back cheap green fabric is your best bet (felt works GREAT) or a couple layers of green duct tape.
Now is also a good time to think about how are you going to hang this?? If hanging it inside I'd use a pretty ribbon or some sturdy fishing line. If hanging outside, where outside? on a covered porch, you could use fishing line, or green wire. On an exposed door, out by the mailbox or an exposed fence I would wire it in a couple places so that it does not blow around and it can handle the weight of snow. (remember I like in New England, Snow is very likely before I take this down)
I'm pointing at a great place to wrap the fishing line, ribbon or wire around to hang it. Wrap it around the Vertical post so the wire or fishing line won't slide back and forth.
Turn the wreath over and start opening all the greenery, untangle it and make sure each piece is straight. "Work" did not believe in bent branches, clearly they had forgotten what REAL trees look like. Lightly pull it upright, straight and open. we want to open the mashed areas and be able to redistribute the fluffy areas. This also gives us a chance to see what we are dealing with.
Oh look- a big old hole between the top of the frame and the bottom!! We either need to be patient and creative or run out and get a cheap garland to fill this in and add more to this wreath.
after the greenery is opened,
we need to start shaping. Shaping is the process of moving all the greenery in the same desired direction, either clock wise or counter clockwise. Starting at the base of the branch, moving the branches to fill holes and lay nicely all in going the same way.
Usually the accents will be going in the same direction as the greenery, but as you will notice in the photo above, there is a pine cone missing.
I was trying to decide if I like the pine cone in the original place
or follow my set vision of pine cones and put it this way. With pine cones of this size I desire to stay with my preconceived notion of pine cones and keep the bottom towards the bottom.
I need to attache this pine cone and cover the gap in the frame. There is a nifty trick that will do both.
A simple little Twist of one top brach and one bottom branch
and we will attach the pine cone right there.
The next step is to open and place the berries. Remembering to be careful with the berries and to compensate for their lack of wire tips, I will use the bendy beaches to help hold them in place and cover any holes and gaps in the frame.
We have been working on a table, and unless your wreath is going to bea center piece on a table, it is time to hang it up and get another perspective.
WOW that left side is really thin. Im happy with the pine cones and berries, but it definitely needs more shaping. So I will continue to move, mostly greenery, around.
Step back and take another look. We are looking to see that 1. We can not see the wall thru the wreath. 2. All accent items are pleasantly placed. 3. The width of the wreath is the same all the way around. 4. there is a definite outside shape and a clear inside shape to match the outside (incase your wreath is not round, wouldn't want to discriminate). – Opps! I see a dent on the inside.
Futz futz move move futz and Wa La. The last thing to do is the bow.
It is usually pretty easy to do, but therefore also easy to get messed up, which is why it is saved for last. Usually bows are made of this wonderful Wired Edge Ribbon which makes shaping the bow easy. If the bow on your wreath is not Wired Edge Ribbon you can play with to make it look good, but I suggest ripping off and making a new one with wired edge ribbon.
Style Note- the Fastest way to update a wreath is change the bow. Change the color, placement, size and type, your neighbors will think you have a new wreath every year.
When shaping the bow start on the inside and work your way out, other wise you have contasntly reshaping your outside loops. Ask me how I know…
Ta Da One pretty wreath.
Now, I don't know about you, but I hate looking like everyone else, I like a little extra. The nifty things about retail stores is that they USUALLY do things in themes, nicely displaying everything in that theme together. When I was shopping for these wreathes I saw these adorable little birds. (Ok, I'll admit it, one looks like a ball of yarn… ) I had planned to place 3 of them on the wreath but the birds were a bit more substantial than I first thought. Plus the wreath is even count (4 of everything) and I bought an odd count (3) of birds.
Style Note: Odd Counts are usually more pleasing to the eye and easier to layout. (Think Fibonacci and the rule of thirds)
But all was not lost- 2 lovely little plump birds makes this wreath adorable and one of a kind.
So there we have it. My first Holiday tutorial. I hope you enjoyed it and learned a lot.
I plan to get the Fancy Wreath one up on Monday, I know you are waiting get your Holiday decorating done before Thanksgiving.
Take Care,

Chelmsford, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 20, 2013 -- Service Graphics, the the UK's largest provider of high impact visual communications have just installed a Mastercut Multi-Tech high speed, wide format automated flatbed cutting machine at their Skelmersdale site. The new cutter incorporates a multi-tool head so both laser and blade cutters can be used on a single machine, and is designed to increase speed and efficiency during production of a wide range of digitally printed display materials.
The company prints onto a wide variety of formats including canvas, mesh and vinyl as well as paper and card, so they wanted a machine that is able to cope with all digital print substrates. The Mastercut was developed and manufactured by Blackman and White, the UK's only manufacturer of automated cutting machines. Incorporating a multi-functional tool head reduces the floor space required for cutting and eliminates the need for a separate machine for each function.
Service Graphics had previously finished large format prints by hand which is both labour intensive and time consuming. The new high speed cutter is computer controlled which means it is not only faster but is far more accurate than hand cutting. Many of their display graphics are printed onto vinyl or polyester textiles, and as the laser simultaneously seals the edges of these materials, large banners can be completed without hemming or sewing, further speeding up production time.
John Ichikawa, Blackman and White's technical sales manager commented, "We were delighted to win this contract with one of the UK's leading digital printing companies. The Mastercut is the first automated laser cutter Service Graphics have purchased, and we supplied it with a 3.2 x 8 meter flatbed so it can easily cope with large format materials. Turnaround time can be critical in this highly competitive industry, and this new machine will not only increase Service Graphics' efficiency and profitability during manufacture of digitally printed materials but will produce a far higher quality end product."

Cost of inpatient rehabilitation care in the Department of Veterans Affairs
Abstract—We investigated the determinants of inpatient rehabilitation costs in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and examined the relationship between length of stay (LOS) and discharge costs using data from VA and community rehabilitation hospitals. We estimated regression models to identify patient characteristics associated with specialized inpatient rehabilitation costs. VA data included 3,535 patients discharged from 63 facilities in fiscal year 2001. We compared VA costs to community rehabilitation hospitals using a sample from the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation of 190,112 patients discharged in 1999 from 697 facilities. LOS was a strong predictor of cost for VA and non-VA hospitals. Functional status, measured by Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores at admission, was statistically significant but added little explanatory value after controlling for LOS. Although FIM scores were associated with LOS, FIM scores accounted for little variance in cost after controlling for LOS. These results are most applicable to researchers conducting cost-effectiveness analyses.

It's always exciting when the advance author copies of a new book arrive. This arrival was particularly cheering because Camel publishing did something neat with the cover of the book. The lavender cover blends slowly from a bluer tone to a pinker tone from the top to the bottom. Then at the top of the spine they inserted a little "Mystery" square. That way when the book is shelved at the bookstore, anyone looking at it will know the genre. Thanks, Camel.
