PROCRASTINATING! Is that where you put off till tomorrow that which you could do today? Nope, never ever done, nor told an exaggeration, no, really never. I almost didn't get my wife's jewelry made in time for Christmas but where is the fun in getting it made the day after Thanksgiving, and no, I am not making her Valentines jewelry on New Years Day either.Actually I think that I will procrastinate a little and do on 2/12/13. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Yes, you've got me inspired! This will be the year when I learn all the things I've been afraid of attempting. I'm going to write it all down in bold letters, pin it on my refrigerator and scratch them off one by one. I will fear no more!

As if launching a blog, and announcing I'm pregnant wasn't enough big news for one day, I've got one more. We're moving to Alaska!
A few months ago when I was still on the road in the Brave the plan was to come back home and move into the Brave with Dan. Well, turns out things didn't quite work out that way, and while I still have dreams and plans of some day being a full time RV family, for now Alaska is the best choice for us for a variety of reasons.
My parents live in Anchorage and since Dan's family no longer lives in the Tacoma area, we don't have any family support down in Washington any more. Coupled with some health care reasons, moving to Alaska made the most sense for us, at least for my pre-natal care, birth, and newborn months. We don't know if this will be a permanent move, for all we know we'll be back in the Seattle area some time next year, or maybe somewhere completely different. Our living situation beyond a year from today is pretty up in the air, but for now being close to my family and having that support is most important. It's hard to move, especially with so many unknowns, but we're taking this leap and seeing where it takes us. I have no clue where we'll be one year from today!
And on top of that all, we're actually moving today. Yeah. Our little Honda CRV and our 5x8 Uhaul trailer are all packed up and later today we are driving away from our cute little Tacoma house and heading up the AlCan. Of course it'll take us 5 or 6 days to actually get to Alaska, but if you've been following on snapchat and instagram you've been getting some behind the scenes teasers about what's going on. Packing up, cleaning the house for our renters who are moving in right after we leave, and loading the Uhaul! We're hitting the road!
We will be living with my parents (#lifegoals). They have a small apartment over their garage, so we'll have our own space, which is nice, so over the next few months I'll be working hard to make it our own, get it feeling like a home, and creating a little den for our little one! I'll share some before photos of the space soon, I'm super excited to give it a fresh look!
We're moving to...

The Open Book returned to the airwaves of the SNS Radio Network with a bit of a crazy show, with some tech issues strewn about for fun. In the first segment the boys talked about the Wyatt Family debut, and of course covered their Money in the Bank picks for Sunday. In the second segment the boys talked some gaming news, while we played "Is Ashley here?" for a little waiting for his chrome issues to work out. And in the third segment….oh wait, there wasn't a third segment because of some technical difficulties, but we did record a great little ending for you, before throwing it crazily out to Skillet's "Circus for a Psycho", which is what this show felt like. All this, plus lots more, on a very interesting show.

Beneficial and docile, a marsupial deserving of respect
Once you learn about the Virginia Opossum, you'll find there's really a lot to like about them. Some people may consider them ugly, but lots of us think they're cute. It's all about perspective. Virginia Opossums are docile, sweet-tempered and totally non-threatening unless forced to protect themselves. They have the most teeth of any mammal and are quick to flash them when threatened, but they don't bite except in self-defense. For some professional wildlife rehabilitators, Virginia Opossums are their favorite wild animal.
There are more than 60 species of opossums (oh-POSS-ums) in the world, but only one inhabits the United States, the Virginia Opossum. Didelphis virginiana, its Latin name, was first seen by European colonists in, yes, Virginia.
They're marsupials, mammals that undergo the early part of their development in their mother's womb and the rest of it in her pouch. Other marsupials include kangaroos, koalas, wombats, wallabies, Tasmanian Devils and…possums. That isn't a misprint. Possums aren't opossums. Except for being marsupials, possums are a group of entirely different animals who inhabit Australia and surrounding islands.
The earliest marsupial species evolved in North America and moved south to South America. The direct ancestors of the Virginia Opossum evolved later in South America and moved north to the southeastern U.S. During the late 1920s and the 1930s they were introduced into western coastal states and have now expanded northward into southern British Columbia. They also extend south into Mexico and Central America, where most of the other opossum species are found.
Virginia Opossums have existed since the Pliocene Epoch, two to five million years ago.¹ They've endured the passage of time astonishingly well, and largely unchanged. How? Scientists don't know for sure, but think it's probably because they're masters of adaptation: Change their habitat, they adjust to a new one. Remove their usual food sources, they change their diet.
Virginia Opossums are in the order Didelphimorphia and the family Didelphidae. Their genus name Didelphis is Ancient Greek for "double womb." As you read on, you'll see how appropriate that name is. "Opossum," comes from apasum, an Algonquin Indian word for "white animal."
Physical characteristics
Virginia Opossums are 2 to 3 feet long, plus a tail length of 8 to 13 inches. Sources vary widely about their weight, with some reporting a range of 4.6 to 6.2 pounds and others as high as 8.8 to 13.2 pounds. Males are usually larger than females.
Opossums have a long, pointed face with black eyes, long whiskers and a distinctive pink nose. Their ears are black and tipped or edged with white, and hairless. White hair covers their face, and their body is a sparse, coarse mix of grayish and blackish hair.
Their tail is hairless, scaly-looking and long. It's prehensile, which means it can be used to hold or grasp things. You may have heard that opossums sleep while hanging by their tail, but that isn't so — they're too heavy to hang for very long. The sparsity of hair on their body makes them susceptible to frostbite, preventing them from inhabiting regions that are too cold.
Opossums have 50 teeth, the most of any U.S. land mammal. When they open their mouth, all those teeth are exposed and look very menacing. It's deceptive, because opossums are mild-mannered, unless deliberately provoked, and will move away from confrontation, if possible.
Their feet are bare on the bottom. They have five hairless, dexterous toes (some experts call them fingers). Each of the hind feet have a thumb (technically, a "hallux"). All their toes are clawed except for the thumbs, which are used to grasp branches when climbing.
They have no body odor because they lick themselves constantly. The licking, at least in part, has to do with thermoregulation of their body temperature — they lack sweat glands and the evaporating saliva helps to cool them.
Opossums have a keen sense of touch and smell, with 1,188 genes devoted to smell. (By comparison, humans have 396 olfactory genes devoted to smell and dogs have 811.²) Opossums have poor eyesight and their senses of hearing and taste are rather weak, also.
Opossums make only a few distinct vocalizations. They hiss, snarl, click and screech, and may make all of these sounds when showing aggression. Clicking is also made by males in mating behavior and by females when around their young. The young also make clicking sounds. Some sources say mothers also make a purring sound to their young. Listen to baby making clicking sounds.
Opossums have a reputation for being dim-witted because they move slowly and have a small brain size (five times smaller than a raccoon's). However, researchers found in a series of tests that opossums are better than dogs, cats and other animals at remembering the location of food hidden in a maze; only humans were superior to them. And, owners of young rescued and un-releasable opossums say they can be litter box- and leash-trained, love to be held and to snuggle, and will greet them at the door when they return home. They also claim that opossums will come when their name is called.³
Opossums are solitary, except when mating or caring for young. They're strictly nocturnal, except in winter when they're sometimes active in daytime on warm days. Many people have seen opossums only as roadkill or in the spotlight of a suddenly-switched-on porch light. Coming face-to-face, opossums may freeze in place, but often they just turn and move away. For them, movement is usually a shuffling, clumsy-looking waddle, but if circumstances compel them, they can run at about 4 miles per hour — equivalent to a fast walk for a human. They know this isn't fast enough to save them from most predators, so typically they head for safety. They might crawl into a den, scale a tree (they're expert at this) or swim (they're able swimmers). Or they may drop "dead."
Opossums are well-known for feigning death, or "playing 'possum." They certainly look dead, but they aren't role-playing. Feigning death is apparently an involuntary, stress-induced nervous collapse, and it's convincing. They fall on their side and lie still with their body slightly curled. Their mouth opens in a grimace, their tongue hangs out, they drool copiously and stare with unmoving eyes. They may defecate or discharge a foul-smelling fluid from their anal glands. They don't respond to sound or prodding. They're pretty convincing and oftentimes predators who don't eat dead meat will move on. This catatonia-like state may last minutes or hours. Eventually they rouse, get up and go about their activities with no ill-effects. If they're frightened again after awakening, they play dead again.
Opossums don't always play dead. Instead, they may try to bluff their way out of trouble with a flash of teeth and scary hissing and snarling. But, they're aggressive only if necessary and are, in fact, sometimes called the pacifists of the animal kingdom.
Opossums are harmless, beneficial visitors to urban yards. They're quiet, they don't dig or claw. They don't eat flowers or chew up the vegetable garden. Instead, they arrive, eat a rodent and some snails, scoop up some insects, munch on fallen fruit and clean up leftover dog food and any munchies in the compost pile.
Although well adapted to city life, the natural habitat of opossums is deciduous forests, but they also are found in farmlands, prairies and wet areas, such as marshes and streams.
Food sources
You name it, they'll eat it, and that's probably a factor in their survival since prehistoric times. In addition to "people food" in the garbage can and pet foods left outdoors, opossums eat insects, fruits, grains, nuts, rodents, frogs, the eggs and young of other animals and carrion.
Cover and nesting
Opossums are solitary animals who generally nest alone. Females, however, will sometimes use daytime nests together.
Opossums' feet are soft and delicate with small claws, not designed for digging. So, they look for existing nest sites that will keep them warm and safe, such as old burrows, drainage pipes, hollow logs, old squirrel nests, rock piles, woodpiles or under a porch. Even a chimney. They line nests with soft, dry materials, like grasses and dried leaves. They gather their nesting materials by mouth and then shove them under their body, where they loop their tail around them for transporting.
Females reach sexual maturity at about seven months of age and can breed about every 28 days year-round. Peak time is late December through January (February in northern areas), and to a lesser extent from mid-May to early July. After mating, males go their own way and don't participate in raising the young.
Females typically mate only one or two times a year, each time having 8 to 12 young. Their reproductive system is bifid, meaning there are two sets of reproductive organs. (The male's penis is also bifid). Some of the fetuses develop in a left uterus and the others in a right uterus. They have a very short gestation period — only 12 or 13 days. They're born through a birth canal called the median vagina. After their birth, the young continue their development in their mother's pouch (marsupium). But first they must make their way there. The newborns weigh 1/200th of an ounce — the size of a bee. Hairless and nearly transparent, they aren't much more than embryos. Watching them crawl from their mother's birth canal to her pouch is an edge-of-your-seat thriller.
Mothers prepare the way by licking a path through their hair for them to follow. With a swimming motion, the babies pull themselves blindly (literally, since their eyes are closed) along this path. The trek is only three or four inches, but for these little guys, it's monumental. Treacherous, too. A sudden move by their mother and they'll fall off and perish. The weaker babies will not make it, regardless.
Those who make it to the fur-lined marsupium will find one of 13 teats aligned there in a horseshoe arrangement. This is their lifeline to further physical development and they hang on tightly. If there happens to be more than 13 babies, the extra ones will die.
Two months later and the size of a mouse, babies have begun to outgrow their warm, protected environment that's now stretched almost to its limit. Ever so cautiously, they peek out. Then they duck back inside. They peek out. They duck back inside. They'll do this many times over the next couple of weeks until finally they climb out — still clinging to their teat! They'll stretch just as far as they possibly can, but won't turn loose.
Eventually, in a tense moment of bravery, they open their mouths and let go. Then comes the second important climb of their lives: up to their mother's back (not her tail, contrary to myth), where they tightly grasp her hair with their toes and tail. If any fall off, they make hissing sounds, and their mother makes clicking sounds in response. If she's unaware they're gone, however, she'll continue on without them, and at this young age they'll perish.
Those on her back are about to go for the ride of their life. They travel widely in search of food, staying in one den only three or four days before moving to the next (except in winter when a nice, warm, well-built nest invites a longer stay.) Their mother will use her whiskers like a cat, to feel her way along dark passages, and her excellent sense of smell will locate food. They go up and down trees, through thick bushes and brush piles, into garbage cans and compost piles, under the porch, under fences, through drain pipes and culverts, and into hollow logs. They might even go into the water if their mother crosses a creek. (They can stay dry by squeezing back into her pouch, as she can amazingly seal it so tightly it becomes waterproof.)
The youngsters learn how to forage for snails, slugs, beetles, and other insects, and to feast on carrion, garbage, birdseed and fallen fruit. They learn how to kill and eat a rat, and perhaps a snake, too. They learn the best ways to hide and defend themselves, and where to live.
After a few weeks of tutoring they begin life on their own four feet by simply loosening their grip and dropping off their mother. By now, they're about seven to nine inches long, excluding their tail. They share their mother's den for a short time, then leave to establish their own territories.
Life span
Captive Opossums can live up to 10 years, but those in the wild usually don't make it past their first year, because of heavy predation and vehicles.
Natural enemies of opossums include foxes, coyotes, bobcats, eagles, owls and other birds of prey; also dogs and cats. Otherwise, vehicles are their biggest enemy. It's thought that opossums' willingness to eat carrion draws them to roadkill and then, oftentimes, they become roadkill. Hunters and trappers, too, take a toll, but mostly by finding opossums while seeking other game.
Opossums and rabies
The body temperature of opossums is 94 to 97 degrees F., which is too low for the rabies virus to survive. It's nearly impossible for an opossum to have rabies.

Well a little over a year ago I had an ex that meant the world to me. We never fought or argued and the relationship honestly had nothing bad about it other than he was a few months younger than me. We broke up right after he said he loved me, and he said it in person and on his own. I said it back right away, and he also said it while hugging me and looking at me in the eyes. He wasn't the romantic type or the dating type, and we spent a lot of time together. He also for Valentine's after dating 2 months gave me a necklace of my birthstone thinking I'd like it cause I always at the time wore my birthstone as rings and it was about $60. His idea of breaking up at the time was saying "We aren't going to talk for 3 days" (it was a game and he never did it to me before) and so I just said "ya know if you don't want to be with me you can just say so" and so he blocked me on Facebook and ignored me at work. Then after awhile he started talking to me again at work and then got fired.
After we broke up, about 6 months later I started dating someone and we lasted for over a year. I broke up with him because in June I saw the first ex I mentioned and we made eye contact while I was at work for awhile. I just couldn't get over it and so I broke up with my newest-ex because of that, and the fact I was cheated on, and that I fell out of love with him. Do you think it'd be a bad idea to add him on Facebook? I don't know if he'd add me back but he's had me unblocked for a few months now.

Project Implicit bias test exposes your dark side
Race and gender are very sensitive issues around the world. And it in our nature to believe that we're not biased in any way. Project Implicit is online test designed by Harvard University to basically "examine thoughts and feelings that exist either outside of conscious awareness or outside of conscious control."
This research tool has been around since 1995 and has completed more than 11 million tests with only 1 goal in mind – to discover our possible unconscious biases.

Motorola Droid reviews
Even before its release date this November 6, major gadget blgggers already published Motorola Droid reviews – the so-called iPhone and BlackBerry killer powered by powerhouse companies Verizon Wireless and Google Android operating system. I have compiled several reviews from infamous bloggers like Gizmodo, PC World and CNET:
Perhaps one of the top highlights of Android 2.0 is the expanded capabilities of the personal information management tools, including e-mail, calendar, and contacts. The Droid now offers native Microsoft Exchange synchronization out of the box for e-mail, calendar, and contacts, in addition to support for Gmail and POP3 and IMAP accounts…

World Cup: Martin Paterson rules himself out of Northern Ireland squad to face Azerbaijan
Burnley's Martin Paterson ruled himself out of Northern Ireland's squad for the World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan.
Last Updated: 05/11/12 3:37pm
Paterson missed last month's battling 1-1 draw in Portugal due to "ongoing fitness issues" and there are question marks about his international future after he again opted out of the match at Windsor Park, despite playing and scoring at the weekend.
"The conversation we had with Martin last time was that he was not available and that he would come back to me when he was," said manager Michael O'Neill.
"I would like Martin to be available and I've selected him every time he has been.
"I still think he could be a very important player for us but he is wary because of his injury problems and I understand his reasons."
O'Neill has picked six other players who can play as forwards with FC Sion's Kyle Lafferty expected to be first choice and support comes from the likes of record scorer David Healy, Rangers' Dean Shiels and Walsall's Will Grigg.
Derby's Jamie Ward and Andy Little of Rangers could also feature in the forward line, but they have been used in midfield by their country.
Northern Ireland were without a number of their key players in Porto, but they can welcome back West Brom centre-half Gareth McAuley following suspension, while club team-mate Chris Brunt, Grant McCann and Shane Ferguson all return from injury.
Hull City's Alex Bruce won two friendly caps for the Republic of Ireland in 2007, but he never played in a competitive fixture and was called up again after an injury forced him out of the Portugal trip.
Hibernian centre-back James McPake misses out despite his side's fine start to the Scottish Premier League season, with O'Neill instead opting for McAuley, Jonny Evans, Craig Cathcart and Aaron Hughes.
There was also no place for Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp, who appears to be continuing his self-imposed exile after falling behind Roy Carroll in the pecking order at the start of the qualifying campaign.

Value of Backlink - EDU
All web-site owners have an understanding of how significant acquiring backlinks for their websites is. Without having backlinks your web-site won't get located or ranked unless naturally naturally there is no competitors for that keyword you're working with.
An additional point that search engines element into their algorithms would be the type of web-site that it hyperlinks to. Some web-sites hold a lot more credibility than others mainly because not every person can use them. A prime example of that will be a edu backlink.
An edu backlink is deemed authoritative since edu backlinks are really tough to come by and only authority or trusted Net customers with all the appropriate access can obtain these EDU backlinks.
EDU backlinks give upto 1000x of link juice when compared with a typical page rank 1 back hyperlink.
How to Get EDU Backlinks
Weblog commenting is an excellent method to get edu backlinks. Nevertheless it's very time consuming and tedious.
For those who search google, there are various internet websites that guarantee to provide free edu backlinks or give edu backlinks list. You can try that.

Father dumps 12-year-old daughter on deserted island for getting pregnantBy Mason White 2:45 PM April 28, 2017
|Pregnant girl (illustration)
By: Emily Lewis WorldWideWeirdNews.com
(Scroll down for video) The father of a preteen girl in Uganda, became angry after learning that she was pregnant.
The father, who was not identified, ordered his son to take the 12-year-old girl to a deserted island, and leave her there to die.
Mauda Kyitaragabirwe, whose grandson claims that she is 106 years old, said that when she was a child, families rid themselves of pregnant unmarried girls as they were seen as a shame.
Virgin girls were usually sold for a hefty bride price, and girls who were pregnant or had a child, did not bring in any money for their families.
Kyitaragabirwe revealed that pregnant girls were either dumped on Punishment Island, where they were left to die of hunger and thirst, or they were pushed off the Kisiizi Falls.
While nobody survived being pushed off Kisiizi Falls, some girls managed to get off Punishment Island alive.
Kyitaragabirwe said that after her father realized that she was pregnant, her brother pushed her into a canoe and took her to Punishment Island.
She was dumped on the grass, and was left to die. After five days, a man appeared and rescued her. James Kigandeire took the girl to his home, and married her.
She went on to have three sons and three daughters, and many grandchildren.
When asked what happened to her unborn child, Kyitaragabirwe revealed that she was beaten until she had a miscarriage.

Ninja Slayer ~Atrocity in Neo Saitama~ vol. 4 (a J!-ENT Manga Review)
April 23, 2016 by Dennis Amith
Violent, gritty and exciting, a new hero/anti-hero named Yakuza Tengu has emerged in Neo Saitama to fight the ninjas in Ninja Slayer's absence, but does he have what it takes to fight them? Find out in vol. 4 of "Ninja Slayer ~Atrocity in Neo Saitama~".
© 2012 by NINJ@ Entertainment. All Rights Reserved.
MANGA TITLE: Ninja Slayer ~Atrocity in Neo Saitama~ vol. 4
ORIGINAL WORK BY: Bradley Bond and Philip Ninj@ Morzez
STORY AND ART BY: Story by Yuki Yogo and Art by Yoshiaki Tabata
FIRST PUBLISHED IN JAPAN: Kadokawa Corp.
PUBLISHED IN USA BY: Vertical Comics
RATED: Ages 16+
RELEASE DATE: April 19, 2016
Recently rumors have been swirling all across Neo Saitama of Ninja Slayer's death. But deep within the darkest crevices of the underworld there is word of another ninja hunter! Is this masked man a ninja? Is he a renegade yakuza? Or could he be a cyborg developed by the NSPD? No one really knows who the man behind the Tengu nose really is….or his purpose.
Neo-Saitama, the futuristic city in which an army of cybernetic-clad ninjas controlled by the Soukai Syndicate, run the streets.
Rumors have been spreading throughout the city that Ninja Slayer has been killed. But out of nowhere comes a new mysterious individual known as Yakuza Tengu! Is he friend or foe? And who is this mysterious individual?
Find out in vol. 4 of "Ninja Slayer ~Atrocity in Neo Saitama~".
What is "Ninja Slayer" about?
"Ninja Slayer" purportedly is the product of American authors Bradley Bond and Phillip "Ninj@" Morzez. Posted originally on Twitter and translated in Japanese by Honda Yu and Sugi Leika, it would become popular and would be released in 2012 in a volume titled "Ninja Slayer: Neo-Saitama in Flames" by Enterbrain.
In Japan, there have been five tankobon volumes. In 2013, a second manga adaptation titled "Ninja Slayer: Glamorous Killers" with art by Ageha Saotome was featured on Enterbrain's "B's-Log Comic". A third manga adaptation titled "Ninja Slayer Kills" was serialized in Kodansha's "Suiyobi no Sirius".
A manga adaptation was released in 2015 on Niconico and a planned TV broadcast set for 2016. The anime series simulcast in North America courtesy of FUNimation.
The series is set in a gritty, futuristic city of Neo-Saitama and many people are getting killed, monsters roam the streets but the most deadly are the menacing army of cybernetic-clad ninjas under the rule of the Soukai syndicate.
But as many citizens are getting killed in the ninja turf war, one heroic ninja known as Ninja Slayer plans to make sure that all ninja are slaughtered by his own hands.
In vol. 2, we see the Ninja Slayer interrupt a Massacre Games fight against the Kill-Zone Sumo Wrestler by the Kachigumi Salarymen.
Meanwhile, two teenage ninjas are introduced. A teenage girl named Yamoto Koki, who's ninja powers just came out and a mysterious new transfer named Shogo.
Featuring the origin of Yamoto's ninja power and what happens to Shogo when he is apprehended by police?
In volume 3, we see the aftermath as Shogo has been kidnapped and tortured by the powerful ninja henchman, Sonic Boom.
Sonic Boom wants Shogo to lure Yamoto Koki, so they can control her.
But will Shogo allow that? And will the two be able to face off against the powerful and evil ninja?
In volume 4, the after-math between battle of Ninja Slayer and Sonic Boom has led to a major explosion and rumors are quickly swirling that Ninja Slayer was killed in battle.
In Neo-Saitama, a Sumo Shop is the residence of the Kill-Elephant Yakuza Clan led by their Yakuza Boss, Yamahiro.
And because ninja are above the yakuza, they are trying to get payment from the yakuza or else they die. But one person is there to protect the yakuza, a mysterious being known as Yakuza Tengu.
Meanwhile, a team of ninja brothers – Green Elephant and Gas Burner are causing trouble in the area and Yamahiro tries to make himself a yakuza samurai hero to protect shop owners from these ninja brothers.
But when the ninjas are on a murdering rampage, can Yakuza Tengu beat them?
"Ninja Slayer" is a fascinating manga storyline that is violent, dark and action-packed.
In some ways, it reminds me a little of "Hokuto no Ken" (Fist of the Northstar) and how a city is overrun by madmen and sick monster-like beings. In this case, Neo-Saitama is run by ninja who operate under the rules of the Soukai Syndicate. But one ninja, known as the Ninja Slayer, will do anything to make sure all ninja are killed.
In this latest volume, it's less about Ninja Slayer and more about what happens when Ninja Slayer (who is rumored to be dead) is not around? Who is there to fight the ninjas?
The answer is Yakuza Tengu, a yakuza member using high technology and sporting a tengu mask to fight ninjas. But is this mysterious individual up to par with the powerful ninjas? Especially now that Saitama has become chaotic courtesy of ninja brothers who have been stealing and killing?
And is Ninja Slayer dead?
Yoshiaki Tabata does a great job in keeping the story flowing smoothly, while Yuki Yogo's artwork is gritty, dark and features wonderful character design.
Violent, gritty and exciting, a new hero/anti-hero named Yakuza Tengu has emerged in Neo Saitama to fight the ninjas in Ninja Slayer's absence, but does he have what it takes to fight them? Find out in vol. 4 of "Ninja Slayer ~Atrocity in Neo Saitama~".

Warning over health service cuts
Massive cutbacks will wreak chaos on the public health service next year, medics have warned.
A 619 million euro cost-saving package confirmed by the Health Service Executive (HSE) will lengthen waiting lists, cut services and damage care, doctors say.
Launching their service plan for 2014, health chiefs admitted they have yet to decide where the axe will fall to make up a 108 million hole in cutbacks ordered by the Government.
Other cuts include:
:: 23 million euro being taken out the medical card services - although this has been reduced from an originally planned 113 million euro cut.
:: 140 million euro slashed from pay.
:: Another 129 million euro savings made in procurement, shared services, "value for money" and hospital reconfiguration.
Tony O'Brien, director general of the HSE, said it was facing a "significant challenge" in delivering health services next year because of the cutbacks.
"My principal focus is to continue to deliver the same level of frontline services with a reduced budget while ensuring that quality and safety is not compromised in any way," he said.
But Sinn Fein's health spokesman Caoimhghin O Caolain warned the cuts were unsustainable and will push public health services into deeper crisis.
"The health services have already been cut to the bone and the knife is still being wielded," he said.
"The ongoing recruitment embargo and job cuts will have a seriously damaging effect."
The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) described the plan as an "austerity charter".
Matthew Sadlier, president of the IMO, said: "There is little doubt that we are facing into a new year with a budget for our health services that we all know is simply not adequate to provide the level of care necessary.
"It is past time that the Government takes responsibility for the provision of a safe and effective health service that allows frontline staff to deliver quality care."

Vision Premiere: Young Sierra, The Lights.
New hotly tipped alternative "pop" band Young Sierra announce their debut single and video for the song The Lights out 28 October. We were impressed with the quality, vibrancy and direction of the video and by the sound that Young Sierra produce. So we asked a few questions of Ben (Vocals) James (Synths) & Johnny (Drums). Tell us more about the making of the video? We've worked really hard on creating a strong visual aesthetic and colour palette for the band. For the video, our aim was to expand on that.

I love the photo of Cheryl sitting at the picnic table working on the NCAC website. What kind of camera do you use?
From Cheryl: How did you know I was working on the NCAC website? Of course I was!! Thanks for following us Jim!
From Colin: I use an Olympus OM-D E-M10 mirrorless camera. Olympus has a great lens reputation. Thinking of upgrading the camera to a OM-D E-M1 MkII when it comes out soon. https://www.dpreview.com/news/9740173952/olympus-announces-e-m1-mark-ii-development
Campbell River – Vancouver Island
We were treated to more of the spectacular mountain , lake, and forest scenery on our way back from to the East Coast of Vancouver Island. We had decided to go further North to Campbell River and plan a whale watching trip. We had two campsites in mind and ended up in Elk Falls Provincial Park, very close to the town, but in a beautiful area by the Quinsam River. We selected a beautiful, spacious site with the river running at the edge, bald eagles and herons cruising up and down the river, fishing, and settled down to a 'chill-out' day. That evening, several black bears cruised up the river and we were notified by the ranger that a Cougar had been seen in the campground (no pictures, I'm afraid). We walked the river every day in hopes of seeing more and Colin spent a lot of time trying to get a close-up Eagle shot; several times, just to tease him, they flew very quickly a foot or two over his head.
Elk Falls
In addition to being a picturesque waterfall, Elk Falls is the site of a brand new Hydro Project. This will replace the 68 year old hydro-electric generating station, by siting a new station completely underground to improve reliability, beautify the area, and enhance the salmon habitat. At the moment, water is taken from the John Hart Lake and fed through three massive pipes all the way down to the generating station. These three overground pipes will be replaced by an underground tunnel to the new underground station. Colin hiked to the falls, saw the brand new suspension bridge overlooking the falls, hiked to the bottom and back up the many steep trails and steps and, as usual, took too many pictures. The notice about warnings of water level rise reminded Colin of the time as a young boy, before he learned to swim, being stranded with his brother in the middle of a rushing river in Scotland when a the local Hydro-Electric plant released additional water.
The Tyee Club
We planned our whale watching trip while eating the "Best Fish and Chips in Canada" at Ziggers (recommended by a local) overlooking the Campbell River. Colin noticed some strange behavior of a group of 30 or so identical-looking boats moving back and forth in slow motion over what looked like a windward-leeward sailboat race. However, there were no sails, only oars. It reminded Colin of Friday night Laser racing in light winds at West River Sailing Club. It turned out to be the British Columbia Tyee Club, a very serious, exclusive and prestigious organization. Membership is limited to those who catch a Tyee (Chinook Salmon) over 30 lbs using approved rod and tackle, from an approved boat, in the river off the clubhouse during an approved event!
Whale Watching
We took a six hour whale watching trip out of Campbell River. The naturalist on board lowered our expectations of seeing Orcas as the salmons were not as plentiful this year and the 'seal eating' Orcas were very difficult to see, hunting by stealth. We did see a large Humpback Whale off one of the many islands in the area. He was diving and breathing every four minutes so we spent some time in the area, wondering where he would show next. He obliged us by showing his tail several times (see movie below) and so was identified as Zorro, recognized by a "Z" shaped scar on the starboard side of his tail. We spent the rest of trip touring around the Islands, enjoying the beauty of the strait on a perfect weather day. The cormorants, sealions and harbor seals were out in force, particularly at the Vivian Island Nature Preserve, and we recorded a movie of the wonderful noise of the sealions (below).

4 Comments on "Campbell River – Vancouver Island"
I love the photo of Cheryl sitting at the picnic table working on the NCAC website. What kind of camera do you use?
Colin, tu as un réel talent de photographe! C'est toi et non l'appareil photo qui a du génie.
From Colin: Merci Michèle, tu est très gentille.
The photos are fabulous and keep getting better and better. We managed to see bears along the road to Tofino a few years back. Our whale watching was dissapointing though. Lots of bubbles, not much whale. The couple we went out with got really sick. Keep the photos and stories coming.
From Cheryl: What a great compliment about the photos. I agree that Colin just keeps on improving! I loved your story that you saw bears along the Tofino road. Wow, no such luck for us. And the way you stated whale watching, lots of bubbles, not much whale, that's exactly what we experienced! Just the hump of a humpback, blow spouts, and then a little tail flip. No body, and no Orcas. I hate it when I get seasick, and I was sorry to hear your trip was burdened with illness from your travel mates. No fun to be seasick. Love to you and Karen.
Cheryl's Noggin' my fav!…closely followed by the thousands of other extraordinary photos. Envious in Annapolis..xo
From Cheryl: Thanks for loving my noggin'. I never know what the back of my hair looks like (mirrors not in abundance in the van) and it was a nice surprise when I saw it! Love that you love the photos too. We are in the mutual envious club, so much for us both to be thankful for. Can't wait for you to see all the rock pictures we took for you. Love to Susan, Will, and Annie.

ROY Beggs Snr and Jnr have both issued calls for public support of "trusted local butchers" in the wake of the discovery of horse meat in various processed meat products in recent weeks.
The Ulster Unionist politicians urged customers that they could be assured of the origins of locally produced meat.
Assemblyman Roy Beggs Jnr, speaking during a briefing given to the Stormont health committee on the health implications of the horse meat scandal by officials from the Food Standards Agency, said: "Northern Ireland has a very high level of traceability, perhaps the highest in the world.
"However, rogue traders and processors, whether in Europe or elsewhere, have put a bit of doubt in some minds, at a cost to legitimate businesses.
"One of the ways of reducing risk factors is to keep the food chain as short as possible and that, to a degree, means buying from a trusted local butcher.
"With local butchers, you can get full traceability all the way back to the couple of fields in which the animals were reared.
"In the catering trade, we are also driving up standards with Scores On The Doors. There seems to be a huge gap in between, particularly with factory-processed minced meat, burgers and convenience foods."
During the question-and answer-session, Mr Beggs secured an admission that unlike in the rest of the UK, the FSA had carried out no genetic testing of meat in Northern Ireland in the past year.
Meanwhile, Ald Roy Beggs Snr stated that butchers supplying Farm Quality Assured beef, lamb and pork deserve the support of residents throughout the Larne borough.
The veteran councillor said: "Farmers go to a lot of expense to get Farm Quality Assured status. For cheap, foreign produce to be mislabelled is extremely frustrating for farmers who are very proud of what they produce and they deserve more recognition for what they do."
Ald Beggs, who is also a farmer, added that butchers' livelihoods are dependant "on the trust developed through good service and quality produce".
He urged: "Support your local butcher and you will be supporting local jobs in town and country and at the same time providing your family with the best possible meat products."

Ch. 10
The demon screams that reverberated across the house sent a chill down Skye's spine. The sisters, assisted by May and Coulson, were interrogating the caged demon in the living room while the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were getting ready for bed. Ever the gentleman, Ward had offered that the boys take the living room while the girls sleep in the guest room. Skye had rolled her eyes and Fitz had begun to complain before Ward shut him up with a glare. It had been surreal for Skye, brushing preparing for bed in a bathroom clearly decorated for children while listening to an evil supernatural being being tortured a few rooms over. Now, Skye found herself laying in a strange bed trying to wrap her mind around all that had happened in the past 24 hours. Little did she know that Simmons was having similar thoughts from her side of the queen bed. The tense, heavy silence endured until the screams died down, when Jemma could no longer contain her emotions.
"This doesn't even seem real." she blurted, her brow furrowing. In the darkened, Skye shook her head, forgetting that her teammate couldn't hear her.
"I know. I'm kinda afraid this is all some kind of crazy coma dream." Alarmed, Jemma's arm shot out and grabbed Skye buy the wrist. Again, the two girls' minds had been along the same lines, and the scientist felt that she needed a solid anchor to her friend as to ensure that she wasn't imagining the whole thing.
"Me too." Then Jemma did something unexpected: she burst out laughing. "I mean really, magic? Witches, warlocks, powers, demons, and WWII veterans coming back to life? I knew I was getting into something mad when I joined S.H.I.E.L.D., but really?!" This pushed Skye over the edge. She began to giggle, which grew into a full-blown chortle. Soon the two young ladies were laying in the dark and laughing uncontrollable, like pre-teens at a sleepover. After several minutes, their laughter died down and the mood was serious once again. Skye was the first to breach the silence.
"I might be one of them, you know." Jemma frowned and shifted as to face her friend, attempting to make out her expression in the darkness.
"What do you mean?" Skye exhaled, letting all of her thoughts come to the surface.
"I could be one of them. Something… supernatural." The hacker paused for a beat, gathering her thoughts. "I mean I have no idea where I come from. I-" Skye blinked hard, holding back the tears that had built up over time. She'd never had anyone who she could really talk to, and now that she'd found that in Jemma, she decided to just let it all out. "I'm an 084 Simmons. An object of unknown origin. This whole thing scares me so much and I… I felt something. When Paige cast her spell, I felt something. Like … some kind of power. I- I think I may be like them."
If the revelation had shocked Simmons at all she hid it well. She pulled Skye in for a tight hug as the hacker cried into her shoulder. When she had calmed down a bit, Skye pulled away and attempted to distance herself from the scientist. During her childhood in the foster system she had learned not to get attached to anybody or anything. Sensing her friend's intentions, Simmons gripped Skye by the shoulder and attempted to get the hacker to look her in the eye.
"Look at me. We are a team. No matter what happens from here, we will stand beside you. It's what we do." Skye took the message to heart and let it sink in for a moment. Maybe, just maybe, everything would stay together this time. Then, Skye was struck with a thought and her face split into a shit-eating grin.
"Stick by me huh? Like when Fitz refused to leave your side for even a second when you were infected by the floating corpse?" Skye was rewarded for her quip with a pillow being smacked into her face. The girls had another session of uncontrollable laughter before rolling over, saying their goodnights, and slipping into some well-needed sleep.
Meanwhile, in the living room, the interrogators were not getting very far. So far the demon had said nothing of value, using his respites from the crystal cage's energy to curse the witched standing before him. Fitz and Ward had been sent off with Leo to find blankets and other necessities the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents would need during their stay at Halliwell Manor.
The boys had been about to complain about their assignment but were quickly silenced by one glare from May. Now, the two remaining agents stood back as they watched the three women before them attempt to torture information out of a demon.
If he had been told two days ago about the situation he was in now, Coulson would have told his informant that they were insane. Yet, here he was in San Francisco working with witches to try and bring down the Clairvoyant, who at best had some sway in the supernatural world and at worst was a Demon himself. Yes, Coulson had been around many interesting and powerful people. Hell, he'd helped to assemble the Avengers! But no one he'd met so far could hold a candle to this family of witches. Powers of healing, teleportation, levitation, combustion, freezing time: one of their husbands had even come back from the dead! He'd only known them for a few hours, but Coulson could tell that this was only the beginning of what the Halliwells could do.
With Thor the "magic" had all been explained by advanced alien technology. Aliens Coulson could handle. With aliens, Coulson's world view could renin in tact: he just needed to allow for the fact that there were other worlds with different rules. Now, with witches and demons apparently existing right under humanity's noses for millennia, Coulson had to rethink everything. The wall between the possible and the impossible had been shattered: ANYTHING was fair game. There were threats out there that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't know about and couldn't handle in their wildest dreams even if they did. It was humbling really, and not in a good way. Coulson felt more exposed than he could ever remember feeling in his entire life. What good were decades of training, the best technology and weapons, bullet and had proof security and prisons if a demon could materialize out of nowhere, kill you with a flick of the wrist and a fireball, and disappear withal leaving a trace or even a body behind?
Meanwhile, May was having some thoughts of her own. She had always been good at reading people: it was the reason she herself was so unreadable. The women before her baffled her. On the surface, they appeared to be nothing special, just your average, run-of-the-mill middle-aged wives and mothers, devoted to their family and their work. But their ruthlessness in battle proved otherwise. They were a battle tested team, working together almost seamlessly. If May had heard correctly, they had been at this for over a decade. May had also seen the shadow that fell across one of the women's faces as she spoke of the past. It was obvious that with a life like this, these women would be witness to tragedy, and from that look May could tell that some of it had been personal. In a way she envied these women, these fierce warriors who were also lovers and mothers. May shook her head. They may be warriors, but they clearly had never seen nor done anything of the caliber or scale that she had done to earn and live up to her nickname 'The Cavalry'. By no means did May trust these women yet, and she kept her guard up, wary of what might happen next. But what May did know was that the Halliwell sisters had been through a lot, and they deserved the chance to prove themselves trustworthy, especially if they were going to be working together to bring down the Clairvoyant.
The two agents were jolted out of their thoughts by a bright flash of light.
"Last chance buddy. The second I unfreeze you you'll be vanquished. Any final words? Say something good and we might reverse the potion and let you go…" That had been Piper her hands extended toward the demon, whose body was like a snapshot, being consumed by still flames. The demon growled in response.
"It doesn't matter. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. is working with the Charmed Ones, they still won't be able to stop the Clairvoyant's plans!"
Piper smirked and unfroze the demon, who screamed in agony before disappearing in a final puff of flames. "See, that's always the problem with demons. They always underestimate us."

It's time again for Word of the Week!
Wait…we haven't done this before. It's time to introduce Word of the Week!
OK, so what is Word of the Week? When I was in high school we used to have a "Word of the Day". I think the point was to encourage us to expand our vocabulary and do better on our SATs. We even had a World Bowl, which was the annual vocabulary competition. I was even on the team one year. (Oh, yeah, now might be the time to tell you I was kind of a nerd in high school…)
I fully admit this more than likely falls into the category of "things that are only funny to Amy"…but I'm OK with that! Weekly I'm going to share a word that came into one of the previous week's conversations and made me laugh. Without further ado…the Word of the Week:
1 a : to pass by transmission or succession b : to fall or be passed usually as a responsibility or obligation 2 : to come by or as if by flowing down 3 : to degenerate through a gradual change or evolution
See you next Friday!

Aids charity photo auction marks Sir Elton John's 70th birthday
The 25 pictures mark 25 years of Sir Elton's charity foundation.
A special sale is celebrating Sir Elton John's 70th birthday by auctioning photographs in support of his Aids charity.
As the Elton John Aids Foundation also marks its 25th anniversary, Christie's in New York will sell off pieces donated by artists and collectors worth up to 80,000 US dollars (£64,000) each.
"We started the Elton John Aids Foundation 25 years ago and it is wonderful to commemorate this year with an extraordinary group of photographs, donated so kindly by some of the greatest photographers in the world," Sir Elton said.
"At EJAF, we are determined to end Aids by investing in people's health, wellbeing, equality, and opportunity and by building the circumstances in which HIV and Aids recede into history.
"Over the past 25 years, we have witnessed progress but also daunting setbacks. So, we cannot let up.
"We hope all of the collectors participating in this sale will respond to the urgency of our work by bidding generously on these amazing photographs."
The collection, which will go to auction on April 6, includes works by artists who died of Aids, with pieces dating up to 80 years ago.
Cindy Sherman's colourful portrait shot Untitled is expected to fetch one of the highest amounts, while Herb Ritts' black and white Backflip, Paradise Cove figure is estimated to go for up to 60,000 dollars.
Sir Elton continued: "Great artists, including Mapplethorpe and Herb, were lost to Aids.
"They died so young, and their loss was so tragic. Herb's work means he's still supporting our work even though he's not with us."
EJAF's chairman David Furnish added: "You can't work in photography and not be touched by someone who was affected by HIV/Aids."
According to Christie's international head of photographs, Darius Himes, the collection will also include pieces by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Irving Penn, Peter Hujar, Sally Mann, Paul Graham, Alec Soth, Alison Rossiter, Richard Learoyd, Todd Hido, Katy Grannan, and Ahmet Ertug.
Sir Elton turns 70 on Saturday.

Meadowlands: Thursday 3/20 Analysis
Race 1 - $25,000 Guaranteed Pick Five Pool
Race 3 - $30,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Race 7 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet: STAR CHASER (1st)
Spot Play: ST LADS HE MAN (6th)
Race 1
(5) STAR CHASER put in a big mile on the rim last week to be second and gave indication that he is ready to win. (6) MCSTRAIGHT won from post 10 in a similar starts two back. (4) BLUE FIN is off a win but loses Gingras. (2) CCS LOVER N draws better and remains sharp.
[DRF HARNESS: Check out our NEW and IMPROVED Harness Eye PPs and see our discount packages]
Race 2
(5) DEMENTED doesn't thrill me, but she looks much the best on paper. (10) VALLAS COWGIRL hasn't raced in months but seems fast enough to get a piece if right. (1) CORLEONE HALL has a chance if he decides to trot.
Race 3
(6) LAD PINE finished willingly in his qualifier and wasn't exactly being asked for late speed. This field came up very weak and despite the 4 1/2 month layoff, it is worth noting that Holloway sent out Somewherovrarainbow to a huge mile off the bench last week. (3) CRAZED N LINDY hinted at some ability last year and his qualifier was good enough to think he can trot 1:57 or so. (4) ARMBRO CASINO should be a part of the race.
Race 4
(1) WARRAWEE OLAY was a decent third two start back at this level. There are no killers in this race and she should offer a fair price. (7) ALL MUNKY BUSINESS makes his second start since October and is certainly eligible to bring a big effort. (9) ZUPPA INGLESE debuts for Burke/Gingras; dangerous.
Race 5
(5) MASTER STROKE drops out of late closer competition and into a sweet spot. The last time he was at this level, he faced better foes. (7) E STREET PLAN hasn't won in a long time but still looks good in here. (2) PRINCE PINANG is an exotics player.
Race 6
(1) ST LADS HE MAN was backed out to last by a tired foe last week. All his recent efforts say he is sitting on a winning effort. (9) GRITTY MILLIE BOY is a clear fit in here and only needs to be kept close to have a big chance. (6) PALM BEACH was stuck outside in both recent starts. With early speed lacking in this field, he could get involved at a price if Bongiorno blasts off the gate.
Race 7
(3) STORMIN RUSTLER gunned away from the gate and tired after a fast first half. This looks like a soft field and I see signs of life from this guy. (1) LETTHEROCKBEGIN comes off a decent effort; inside speed. (7) ATLAS ALLIANCE N & (8) RELENTLESS DREAMER are closers that are capabale given the right pace scenarios.
Race 8
(6) DON'T BLAME HER made it to this basement condition last week and now gets a post break, too. She is eligible to wake up at any time and this looks like the right spot. (3) LIZS LIL K K is as erratic as they come but certainly capable. (1) KZ BEACH GIRL should be firing from the inside and looks sharp enough to contend for a board spot.
Race 9
(2) FOX VALLEY LEGEND has been racing well lately and gets an inside post to work with this week. Gelding has a big chance tonight. (4) GAELIC AND GARLIC drops down to the C-2 level; dangerous. (6) BLUEBIRD KIDSQUEEN has yet to miss the board this year. (8) PLAY FAIR won his last start when facing C-2 trotters.
Race 10
(6) CLIMATE HANOVER lost by less than two lengths in his debut for this barn. The Douglas Lewis horses did not race very well last week, but this is a new week; expecting more. (7) SYNERGY SEELSTER chased some top mares in her recent qualifiers. (5) ACE OF PACE has done some nice work here and might wake up in this spot.

1870 · [?Paris]
by KRAUSS, Gabrielle 1842-1906
[?Paris], 1870. Despite her protestations, Krauss was an invaluable member of the Paris Opéra. "In 1875 she sang Rachel in La Juive at the inauguration of the Opéra's new building; she remained a member of the Opéra company (except for a short period, 1885-6) until the end of 1888. She became famous for her portrayals of Meyerbeer heroines, Leonore and above all Aida and Donna Anna; she created a number of roles, including Pauline in Gounod's Polyeucte (1878) and Catherine of Aragon in Saint-Saëns's Henry VIII (1883). At La Scala she created the title role in Gomes's Fosca (1873) and sang Alice in Robert le diable. She was acclaimed for the dramatic intensity of her performances; to her operatic roles she brought a tragedienne's grand passion and nobility. The French nicknamed her 'La Rachel chantante'. After 1888 she retired from the operatic stage and devoted herself to concerts and teaching." Harold Rosenthal in Grove Music Online.. 137 x 98 mm. + wide margins. Signed in the plate by the artist. Printed on fine wove paper. With remnants of former mount to right margin of verso. (Inventory #: 26910)

The IRS audits businesses to be sure they are not incorrectly mis-classifying workers as independent contractors instead of employees. This mis-classification is an issue because independent contractors do not have employment taxes withheld and other taxes are not paid for contractors that are paid for employees.

The IRS assumes that a worker should be classified as an employee unless the employer can prove otherwise.

There is one exception to this rule: If the employer can meet special requirements to avoid classifying workers as employees and paying employment taxes on their wages. This relief is discussed in Section 530 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Section 530 of Internal Revenue Code
Section 530 of the Internal Revenue Code (PDF) discusses "Controversies Involving Whether Individuals are Employees for Purposes of Employment Taxes." Provisions contained in section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 relieve employers from paying employment taxes on workers previously treated as independent contractors and for whom the company was not paying employment taxes. Section 530 established a "safe harbor" for employers; under this provision, a company is not liable for employment taxes if it can demonstrate a reasonable basis for treating workers as independent contractors and if the employer can meet all of three reasonable basis standards.

Section 530 Relief Requirements (PDF) (all three requirements must be met to receive relief:

 Reasonable Basis.
You must have a reasonable basis for not treating the workers as employees. This reasonable basis might be established by:

A related court case or ruling by the IRS

A previous IRS audit that included an examination of employment taxes at a time when you treated similar workers as independent contractors and which did not result in IRS reclassification of these workers.

You can show that a significant segment of your industry treated similar workers as independent contractors,

You relied on some other reasonable basis, like the advice of a business attorney or accountant who knew the facts about your business.

 Substantive Consistency In addition, you and any predecessor employers must have treated the workers and any similar workers ONLY as independent contractors. If you treated similar workers as employees, this relief is not available.

 Reporting Consistency
Finally, you must at all times have filed all federal tax returns consistent with your treatment of the workers as independent contractors and not employees. This treatment would include giving the workers Form 1099-MISC as annual wage summaries, and not at any time W-2s. (Read more about the difference between Form 1099-MISC and Form W-2). Relief is not available for any year and for any workers for whom you did not file the required information returns.

An Example
Here is an example to help you determine if you might be eligible for relief: An employer had been paying workers as independent contractors and not paying employment taxes for these workers. It provided each worker a Form 1099 each year. The employer was able to be relieved of the obligation of paying the IRS the employment taxes because it met all three requirements: It had a reasonable basis for treating workers as independent contractors (it was the industry standard), It treated all similar workers as independent contractors, and It consistently filed all returns as required.
