The Missing Year | Highlights of 2016 | Kelly Pendragon
I vaguely remember writing my last blog post back on 4th January 2016 all about my New Year plans and hoped from then to keep writing my blog on a regular basis as I loved writing about my life, places I'd been, things I'd experienced, etc. However only a few days after publishing the last post my life got turned completely upside down. Breakups are hard, but what I went through was so much worse than that. However I'm not here to talk about that, this post is more an update of what's happened over the last year of my life. I've done so much this last year that I've had to use my Facebook as a reference. I hope you enjoy the highlights of my year!
January: Got a new tattoo
February: I found my happiness
April: Seaside galore
May: Countryside walks
June: I got a kitten!
Billy is now around 9 months old and looks like this
August: Family holiday
In August I went on holiday with my family to one of my favourite places ever- North Wales. We stayed in a gorgeous seaside town called Prestatyn where I witnessed the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets of my whole life. Over the duration of the holiday we visited Llandudno, a zoo, we saw a free air display, went to Anglesey and visited Anglesey Sea Zoo, visited castles, and even went to Blackpool on the way home.
It was my second time visiting Blackpool and I went on the tower once again. I had a really fab time and it was the best end to the holiday I could have ever asked for.
September: New camera
In September I finally got the camera of my dreams! The Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. It's so strange to start using for someone used to digital or compact system cameras as it seems very manual and almost feels old-fashioned. But the results I've managed to achieve from this camera are stunning! I also bought a nice big lens for it as well so next spring and summer I can hopefully get some great photos of wildlife on my long countryside walks. These two photos were some of the first I took, so they were testers more than anything, but they show what can be achieved by someone who hasn't got much of an idea how to get the most out of the camera.
November: Fireworks
Late last year I remember purchasing a couple of packs of fireworks to set off for new years, but we never got around to it due to bad weather along with other things, so by fireworks night my brother and I decided to purchase some more packs of fireworks to make our own fabulous display! It was a lovely night with an indoor BBQ and great company of my family and some friends. My boyfriend takes credit for the lovely photo- he got some gorgeous ones of fireworks, whilst I was too busy appreciating the moment.
December: A time for joy
December has been one of my happiest months! My boyfriend celebrated his birthday early in the month and we had a lovely week off together- we took a trip to Nottingham where we did some Christmas shopping and I treated him to a Red Hot World Buffet. That week we also went to Springfield's shopping outlet and Baytree Garden Centre with my family and had an awesome day- and we stopped at The Fortescue Arms on the way home (I've mentioned it before on my blog only two posts before this).
Christmas day this year was a lovely little day filled with joy and many gifts! I was overjoyed with all the presents I got from my boyfriend, family, and friends.
I'm now ready to head into 2017 as a fresh new person, filled with happiness and living a life I could have only dreamt about. I've had a magical year and made so many memories. I do regret not blogging throughout the past year, I have missed it very dearly, but I plan to keep my blog active throughout 2017. I aim to write about my life, my journey with photography, places I travel, reviews of the odd products, maybe the occasional giveaway, and I'll most certainly be writing about my holiday next year as well.

[ft-l] Status - The Big 360 Hike
: [ft-l] Status - The Big 360 Hike
: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 20:45:23 EST
Length of hike - 360 miles
Starting point - Clearwater Lake - Ocala National Forest
Direction - Western Corridor - northbound
Days into hike - 13
Latest Segment hiked - ĀSR 523 from intersection with Williams Road to
intersection with Deer Run Road
Length of Segment - 20.3 miles
Cumulative miles hiked - 106.5 miles
Miles to go - 253.5 miles
Comments: Most people don't get doing a road walk. The thought is it is
just a boring section a thruhiker must do to hike the whole trail. Well, I
think attitude can make a road walk fun. Today was a great example. First,
the weather was just about perfect, allowing us to walk most of the daylight
hours without getting too overheated. Second, a road walk allows you to put
in big miles with less energy than trail walking. Today was a 20 miler --
sure it caused a couple of blisters, but the road surface allowed us to keep
going at a pace of over 3 miles an hour. Fortunately SR 523, also known as
Canoe Creek Road, is a low traffic road, so much of the time we could walk on
the road surface.
Wildlife sightings were a welcome surprise today. We saw dozens of sandhill
cranes, a most exquisite bird! Also 4 deer, many turkeys, an osprey, and a
word stork. Also, having received my training at the Jeff Walters advanced
school of cattle calling, we had tons of fun with many herds of cattle, which
would alternately line up in ranks to be royally received by us and march
behind, much taken by their new hiking buddies. Alas, all did not have a
storybook ending, for a lovesick, forlorn bovine beauty mooed most pitifully
after I rounded a curve and left her sight. Another heart broken, along this
trail of tears! ;-)
See -- roadwalks can be fun!
Happy trails,
Rich Evans

ANNAPOLIS -- Sen. Alex X. Mooney is sponsoring legislation that requires handicapped parking spaces to be the same size as regular parking spaces.
Mooney, R-Frederick/Washington, filed the bill after learning from Frederick County Commission on Disabilities member Gil House that there often were inequities in the size of the spaces. Mooney's bill would only apply to new parking lots built after October or to existing lots that are relined.
Under current regulations, accessible parking spaces for people with disabilities - known as handicapped parking spaces - must be at least 8 feet wide, with an access aisle that is at least 5 feet wide.
In a letter to the Frederick County delegation, House said standard parking spaces in Frederick County are 9 feet wide, so handicapped spaces often are smaller than other spaces.

Well, my NFL Road Trip has ended but I'm still going to see the playoff games that happen to take place near New York City, which essentially means Philadelphia and New England. When the Eagles won the NFC East, they grabbed the 3rd seed in the conference and won the right to host New Orleans on Saturday night. Most people predicted an Eagles win, but a rookie coach and 2nd-year QB against Brees and Payton? The Saints 0-5 record as a road playoff team didn't worry me that much; those records are mostly with different players and are generally given too much importance.
After enjoying a college basketball game at St. Joseph's that afternoon, I arrived at the Sports Complex just as Kansas City and Indy were getting underway and headed to the Holiday Inn's Stadium Bar to watch that game. My friends Gary and Andrew joined me for a pre-game meal as Kansas City built their big lead. Gary had a ticket already so he left early to enter the stadium, but Andrew and I needed to find our own way in, so we stayed for a bit longer, expecting prices to drop as game time approached. We left the bar a few plays after Andrew Luck's amazingly lucky touchdown, arriving at the stadium 10 minutes later to see the Colts up by a point with time expiring. Oh well, you can't see everything.
Anyway, there were some people with extra tickets, but none of them were willing to come down in price despite game time rapidly approaching. With the national anthem playing inside, we were able to find a guy with two hard tickets (nearly every ticket issued was a paper ticket, anathema to those looking to purchase on the street as they are easy to fake and not good souvenirs) which we purchased after some quick negotiations. He told us they were club seats, which is what happened to me in Atlanta as well (again with the Saints the visitors). Not bothering to double check his claim, we rushed into the club section (avoiding the long lineups at other gates), gaining admittance when the ticket was scanned and heading up the escalator to our seats. Of course, we didn't have seats there and were politely told that we should be on the other side of the stadium.
We turned around to leave but Andrew spotted a path that took us into the club without being spotted. We entered the seating bowl and soon found a couple of seats that were not sold to the general public as they had obstructed views. With everyone standing, it was no problem spending the game here, so we did (view below). It wasn't nearly as cold as Green Bay, but it was still nice to pop into the club (above) at halftime to warm up a bit.
Game time temperature was 25 degrees, but that didn't stop Drew Brees or Nick Foles from coming out sleeveless. It did stop them from doing much in the first quarter though as both teams had trouble moving the ball resulting in four punts to start the contest.
On the Saints third possession, Brees tossed one up that Bradley Fletcher intercepted. The Eagles drove the ball 58 yards but a pass to Brent Celek was stopped 8 yards behind the line of scrimmage and then an 11-yard sack pushed Philadelphia even further back. After a short run to get a bit closer, Alex Henery missed a 48-yard field goal. Looking at the final score, those two plays for loss that ended the first quarter were huge but soon forgotten.
The Saints took the ball on their next drive and drove to the Philadelphia 14. On 4th-and-1, they went for it but a false start penalty pushed them back, and Shayne Graham, signed just a few weeks ago after Garrett Hartley was cut, kicked a field goal to open the scoring. After Philly went 3-and-out again, Brees threw his second pick of the night with DeMeco Ryans returning it to the Saints' 44. Six plays later, Foles found Riley Cooper in the end zone and the Eagles had the lead with just 1:48 to go in the half. As is the case these days though, that was more than enough time for Brees to get the Saints close enough for another field goal and the intermission came with the home team up 7-6.
The third quarter was a scorefest in comparison, with the Saints getting a touchdown pass to Lance Moore to regain the lead, and then a 4-yard run from Mark Ingram to make it 20-7 as Sean Payton eschewed the 2-point conversion. That's Ingram scoring above, he is completely covered by the defense but forced his way through.
The Eagles were down but not out and they moved the ball well in the other direction, with LeSean McCoy (#25 above) busting home from a yard out to get back within 20-14 as the fourth quarter began.
The teams traded field goals and then the Eagles began the final drive of their season, down 23-17 with 8 minutes to go. Running the no huddle, they moved the ball 34 yards on 6 plays before Foles tried a deep ball to DeSean Jackson. Corey White, a backup DB who had replaced an injured Keenan Lewis, mugged Jackson, resulting in a 40-yard pass interference penalty. Two plays later, Foles found Zac Ertz for the go-ahead touchdown (above) with 4:54 left. In hindsight, that penalty was the best thing for New Orleans as Philly scored with plenty of clock left for the Saints, who had run for 143 yards up to that point, to work a bit of magic, and they did just that. Running seemingly at will, they moved the ball down to the 14, forcing the Eagles to use their final timeouts in the process. Brees ran the last two plays to set up the field goal and the Saints let the clock wind down until just 3 seconds were left. Graham came on and made no mistake, sending the Saints to Seattle and the Eagles home.
Although the final result was dissatisfying for Eagles fans, they have to be excited for the future with Kelly and Foles leading Jackson and McCoy to better things. Look for this team to be in the conversation for the next few years.
After the game we waited out the crowd in the club section. When we finally left, the stadium was empty, a sad sight as you can see below. See you next season Linc.
Next Up
I'll be traveling to Boston this weekend to see the Colts and Patriots on Saturday and then add two more venues to my Club 122 list as the Rockets visit the Celtics and the Leafs take on the Bruins. Check back next week for a recap of that.

Investing on your own
May 8 2008 by Ellen Roseman
Maybe you're fed up with your financial adviser. Maybe you want to try managing your own investments. How much time and effort does it take to be a do-it-yourself investor?
My current Money 911 series is about flying solo. I think the time is right for many investors to ditch their high-priced help and take over the work themselves.
It's not so hard. Believe me, I have a self-directed account and I don't look at it every day — or even every week if I get really busy. It takes less time and effort than you probably imagine to pick a diversified group of investments and adjust them periodically.
You need to find your own trustworthy sources of advice about investing. I'd welcome suggestions from DIY investors about the tools you find indispensible to managing your money without outside help.
Who do you trust? What books, magazines, TV shows, websites or blogs do you consult on a regular basis? Does your discount brokerage have good online resources?
I've received lots of comments about my ongoing series and I'm posting some below.

Hey, I have started to teach a 10 year old kid to play guitar. He have only played for a couple of weeks, and I have had one lesson with him so far where I taught him some basic chords and stuff.
Now, I'm not quite sure what to teach him next. Can anybody give me some tips and pointers? =)
I know there was a topic about this a while back, but I couldn't find it..
Btw, he plays electrical guitar, not aucustic.
I'd start with basic pentatonic shapes...

Just a suggestion... don't get too anxious about teaching him new things every visit. I think you should keep things interesting but somewhat slow as many here have suggested.
Don't fall into the trap of overwhelming him by teaching him too many things at once. Sometimes it's best to review the previous lesson and maybe throw in one new thing that somehow ties into the review. And for some people it may be just working on one or two things at a time.
Not just in guitar, but in many things I see teachers who think because they have covered several topics that means they are teaching and the student is learning. That's not true. Teaching is only part of the equation. The student actually understanding is the other half. The number of topics covered does transfer over to an equal level of understanding for most people.
I hope that made sense. Just my thoughts.

I've taught my 14 year old newphew to play for some time now.
At first i tried to teach him basic chords and theory, but noticed quickly that the level of interest faded fast.
So i decided to drop that for the time being, and simply try to learn him a song or two that he loves. He's got a thing for Metallica, so then the intro to Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, One etc. came automatically to mind.
Once he nailed those, some interest suddenly came on how he could play the rest. Then explaining chords and such became much more interesting to him.
So i would say the trick is to find a song thats easy and cool for the student to play, preferably a song he/she really likes which will inspire to learn more, and as the above poster says; dont stress about finding new stuff each time.
Do some repetitions of the same song, and then slowly move on to cover the rest of the song.
You can learn alot of various and nessessary basics from just one good song.

Having an online presence is important for any company. But now is the tough decision. Should you be developing a website or an App? The deciding factor comes to what your end goals are.
They are available across a range of devices such as desktops, laptops, iPhones, iPads and Android devices. Whereas Apps need to be downloaded to the devices via the Google Play or Apple App stores.
Websites upgrade instantly.
Updates to a website will be visible to all devices immediately. Tools such as Wordpress or Craft allows anyone to create new content, layouts or even designs. These can be pushed live without the need for
On the other
Websites have a greater reach capability
By being accessible across multiple platforms, your websites can be shared across users and search engines. This means that you are more likely to have a greater reach capability. Apps can also be used on different devices, however, there is an increased cost and more time needed to develop the capability.
Users can't delete your Website
An average user keeps an App on their device for about 30 days. Websites, on the other hand, can't be deleted permanently offline by the user.
Almost an App!
Efficient and Cost Effective
If you need a presence on different platforms then having a website is definitely more cost-effective and efficient in the long run. After the initial App development, the costs don't stop there. This is because Apps have continuous upgrades, testing, compatibility issues and ongoing development.
When can Apps be a good idea?
- Personalisation - An App that you know will be used regularly or to print a photo of your kids to send to the grandparents. Think Instagram.
- Using users functionality - When you need to access the user's camera. I.e. filters for Snapchat.
- When no connection is needed - When you need to provide offline content and functions for your users.
- Interactive/ gaming - Think guilty pleasure or something you simply can't stop playing in order to beat your mate's score!
- Calculations or reports - Something which will allow users to manipulate complex calculations.
The Verdict
It's not an easy decision, but if you don't need the functionality of the phone such as a camera, start with a website. Test the water and see what the response is like, engage with your users. It's the most cost-effective exercise, prove you have a winning idea and business case and then look at developing an App.

PHOENIX (BP)–If Southern Baptists are going to fulfill their God-given mission in a lost world, they must deal with fragmentation and self-centeredness and recommit themselves to gratitude, trust, unified ministry and honesty, messengers were told during the opening session of the SBC annual meeting June 14. "We have been headed in the wrong direction, in several ways," said Frank Page, SBC Executive Committee president, during the EC's report to the convention. "Our convention is fracturing into various groups, some theological, […]Read More
PHOENIX (BP)–The multi-ethnic emphasis of the Southern Baptist Convention's 2011 annual meeting has made it "one of the best conventions I've ever been to," James Dixon told participants at the National African American Fellowship June 14. Dixon, in his second year as president of the organization that was founded in the early 1990s, said he chose 33 years ago to cooperate with the SBC. The pastor of El-Bethel Baptist Church in Fort Washington, Md., said, however, he had a concern. […]Read More
PHOENIX (BP)–The National African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention has modified its annual meeting to coordinate with the schedule and emphasis surrounding this year's SBC annual meeting in Phoenix. The NAAF annual banquet, which previously was held on Monday evening, has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, in Room 129 A/B, Level 100, at the Phoenix Convention Center, site of most SBC annual meeting activities.

Originally posted by NPR on August 28, 2009 Pastor Lincoln Bingham's predominantly black church – St. Paul Missionary Baptist — was bursting at the seams. And Pastor Mark Payton's mostly white church — Shively Heights Baptist — was worried about its longtime viability because of an older congregation. So the two pastors did something few black and white churches have ever done: merge. Pastors Payton and Bingham talk about their newly unified congregation and their first integrated Sunday service.

That is extremely sharp, the detail in the feathers is phenomenal!
I'm not sure wht others will say, but my only issue with it is that you have such a narrow depth of focus that while the beak is sharp the eyes are not. I've always been of the school of thought that the eyes are the most important point of focus in nature photography but in this case, due to such a narrow DoF, if that were the case then the beautiful feathers would not be in focus. It's a tough one and I can't quite make my mind up on it.
I still really love the colour and detail
Hey Tommy - you could not have summed up what I think of this photo better than I could have myself. I should have upped the f-stop, and decreased shutter speed to increase DoF just a little to get the whole bird in focus. That's an obvious beginner mistake, and I'm trying to overcome those. I also believe the eyes are the key to the picture, but I do like how the feathers turned out. Hard one to call. Thank you for helping me though!
I agree with the joint view about eye focusing, but looking at the EXIF data; 1/30s, f/5.6, iso 100, 100mm; I would not recommend dropping the shutter speed further - you have been amazingly lucky not to have subject movement, or camera shake, spoil this already, I would put the iso up to 400 or even 800, and shoot at f/8 or f/11.
I might crop/compose a little less tightly too, but only a smidge.
Great shot though, well done,
Hey Dave - that was great feedback. I've gone back and cropped a little less, is this kind of what you were meaning?
Interestingly enough, my wife often notices my 'shaky hands', yet when I'm holding a camera, I seem to be able to shoot at quite low shutter speeds! You're not the first to notice. Not sure why that is, but I won't complain!
Hi Andrew,
I love how you caught its gesture, and the way it's only holding on with some of its claws, but not all.....and the feather details, of course......I have a thing about found feathers and have a whole collection at home My American friends tell me it's illegal over there to even pick up dropped feathers. Is it the same in Canada?
Just want to join those who have commented in complimenting you on this one. And to agree with the very useful feedback that's been posted.
Thanks Donald, I'm really enjoying the forums - wish I would have found it a long time ago! @ Seri, I don't know of any laws regarding feathers here in Canada - I hope there aren't any, my daughter keeps them all the time!! I believe in the US, it's only the Bald Eagle feathers that are protected, but I may be wrong.
Thanks again everyone!

Censor.NET reports referring to Poroshenko Bloc MP Mustafa Nayyem's Facebook post, quoted in full below, as translated from Russian.
"It's been more than seven hours after the minister [Abromavicius - ed.] accused the presidential faction deputy chairman of corruption. Do you know what is happening now?
"Perhaps you believe some started to think how to explain it to the public? Or maybe someone decided to apologize, resign, and wait till the investigation is finished? Or you may think they are running about, showing each other the statement of ambassadors?! (Well, because it's about confidence in the entire system, the country, the state, and not in a specific name!) Or perhaps someone up there banged his fist on the table and said, "Enough!"?
"Wrong. They are trying to fix it up. They still believe it is possible to come out dry without losses and pretend that nothing has happened. They sincerely believe that the first joint statement by the ambassadors of donor countries in two years (!) is nothing more than a post on Facebook. Everything will be tackled. "Tomorrow, the sun will rise again, and everything will be as before, you just have to negotiate it, and everything will be fine." The matter is they will not negotiate it with people, or the parliament, or the public, they will do it within their circle.
"First to go was Minister of Infrastructure Pyvovarskyi. Now it's Minister of Economy Aivaras [Abromavicius]. They left not because of the corruption scandals that surrounded them; not because some kind of disaster happened; and not because they are accused of high treason. They quit because while some were trying to at least do something (even if it was inefficient and slow), the others were engaged in embezzlement and fixed games behind their backs.
"The collapse of the government and escape of Cabinet's members from the building on Hrushevskoho [where the government sits - ed.] are the first signs of an impending reboot. I have said it many times and I'll repeat it once again - Maidan 3.0 will not happen on the streets, but in the corridors of power and under the dome of the parliament. And it will be new politicians who will stage it - tired and angry at the fact they were first pushed in the back, called technocrats, and required to carry out reforms, after which they were hogtied by lack of will and reluctance to say goodbye to the old schemes," the MP wrote.
In addition, Nayyem said that EuroOptimists [a group of progressive-thinking politicians in Ukraine's parliament - ed.] supported the statement of Aivaras Abromavicius regarding the disclosure of corruption schemes and appealed to the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada with a request to invite the minister for the next parliamentary session to make a separate report on the known corruption facts.

Ahmed Musa
Nigeria has always been able to call upon a production line of exciting talent, from players like Segun Odegbami to Jay-Jay Okocha.
As the 2013 African Cup of Nations gets underway the latest graduate who could be the standard bearer of the Super Eagles' latest generation is Ahmed Musa.
The 20-year-old winger has just finished a first year at CSKA Moscow and is a player with bags of potential for the future.
Born in the former mining city turned conflict zone of Jos, Musa began his education with prestigious home town club Aminichi, before spending time on loan at JUTH FC as a 16-year-old. A year later, he would earn another temporary switch, this time to Kano Pillars, where his 18-goal haul sealed Musa's place in the record books for the most goals in a Nigerian league season, a feat last achieved two years before his birth. It was big stuff.
It was those 18 goals at Kano that have been the catalyst for all that's happened so far. Musa, who was only at Aminchi Football Academy in Jos until 2008 got his chance to shine because of the departure of Pillars' top striker Bello Musa Kofarmata. With Musa seemingly able to strike at will Pillars almost won the league as they came a close second to eventual champion Enyimba.
This feat earned him a call up into the Super Eagles Team B that contested and won the West African Football Union (WAFU) Cup held in Abeokuta in early 2010.
Playing at home in the WAFU Cup gave Musa an early taste of the pressures that come with playing in the national colours.
"Before the WAFU Cup we played a qualifier (CHAN) and lost. Many people then said in the papers these boys are no good. We showed them in the WAFU Cup that it's just opportunities and chances that we need.
"When the papers say things you feel bad but just say that when I get my next chance then I'll prove myself again. It's good to read the papers because you feel challenged.
"It (WAFU Cup) was a great experience for me as a tournament. Daniel Amokachi encouraged me a lot and gave me great confidence to go out and play. He helped my game a lot, telling me how he used to go out and play. It was a challenge playing for him, but he's a great coach both technically and encouraging.
Musa was one of a trio of home-based players given a call up to the Super Eagles World Cup camp by Lars Lagerback. An ankle injury meant he had to drop out of the final 30 before the final cut was made.
"It was a surprise to be called up for the early World Cup squad because I did not expect it at my age. I felt disappointed, but not too much because it I was injured and I just could not do it. I watched the World Cup I think if I was there I'd do better than that!!"
Musa later made his debut for the Super Eagles in the 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier against Madagascar.
By then Musa had hit the European trail Dutch Eredivisie minnows VVV-Venlo, as his remarkable rise continued. The promising forward had his arrival delayed due to FIFA red tape, but after turning 18, showed he was worth the wait by winning a crucial penalty minutes into his debut.
With a wise head on young shoulders, Musa said Venlo were the ideal club to start off with in Europe.
He said at the time. "For me I think at 18 Venlo is a good place to be. In two years time I know I'll be somewhere else, but Venlo is a good place for me to start. By the grace of God I will make it and I am happy starting here."
Musa quickly became the best player at Venlo, bagging braces against Ajax and Feyenoord en route to attracting a notable €10 million bid from an unnamed German club. The scouts kept coming, but it appeared Venlo would hold onto their man, until CSKA Moscow pulled off the notable coup of signing Musa for €4 million earlier in the January 2012 transfer window.
A year later Musa has adapted to a new country, a new language and a new league, but expect his key qualities to remain the same.
He's a five foot seven inch winger with a skinny frame and long legs, but boasting electric pace and high-speed dribbling, he's an intimidating figure to face.
His pace may be his most natural and damaging asset, but it's Musa's desire to run directly at opponents to isolate them and force mistakes where he really flourishes, combing feet so quick he barely appears to be in control, added to good agility and balance, allowing him to drift past challenging defenders like they're not even there.
Although he is right-footed, he can also play on the left. Musa is not an instinctive goalscorer, but his direct approach means he's always looking to cut inside, where the prospect often finds space in the box. His composure needs some work, but awareness of others and range of finishing is already advanced.
Add to that a good work rate, enough skills to get him out of trouble but not being too over flashy and a positive attitude, and Musa has a lot going for him.
Perhaps the one negative has been his physique which does need to bulk up so he is harder in 50:50 challenges and better tactical discipline.
Most important of all he's shown in his short career an ability to make things happen, and that's a quality the Super Eagles have had in short supply in recent times.

Missing nuclear scientist's body found
Ending the mystery over the disappearance of the Kaiga nuclear power plant scientist, N Mahalingam, naval divers today recovered his body from the Kali river, six days after he went missing. The scientist reportedly went missing during a morning walk on June 8.india Updated: Jun 14, 2009 09:50 IST
Ending the mystery over the disappearance of the Kaiga nuclear power plant scientist, N Mahalingam, naval divers today recovered his body from the Kali river, six days after he went missing.
Naval divers fished out the body of Mahalingam, the scientific officer at the plant, who was reported missing during a morning walk on June 8, from the river flowing near the Kaiga township, police said.
Police said they are investigating whether Mahalingam had drowned or there was any foul play. With no breakthrough in cracking the mystery over the disappearance of Mahalingam, authorities had today sought the assistance of a five-member team of divers from the Naval base at Karwar, Seabird, to carry out the search operations.
Intelligence officials along with CISF and local police had intensified the search operations to locate the scientific officer in the Kaiga generating station of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) associated with its training department.
The navy divers were pressed into service after the search by the local divers was of no avail, Karwar Superintendent of Police R Gupta said.
Personnel drawn from the CISF, district police and forest department had also intensified their joint operation and were combing the Kaiga forest before the body was found in the river.
The Kaiga nuclear power plant authorities have identified the body of Mahalingam, police said adding that his family members have also confirmed the body belonged to the scientist.
Local divers had searched a stretch of 35 to 40 km in the Kali river, which runs along the Kaiga township, from where Mahalingam had disappeared.
Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had said in Chennai earlier today that intelligence officials had intensified the search.
As the disappearance of Mahalingam caused concern, NPCIL authorities had clarified that the scientist, involved in training at one of the simulator training centres, did not have any access to sensitive documents.
Mahalingam had earlier worked with Madras Atomic Power Project (MAPP) at Kalpakkam near Chennai.
According to officials, this was the second time Mahalingam went missing. Earlier, while working at Kalpakkam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu, he was reported missing for few days but had returned home later.

RoboCop [movies]
In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop – is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
RoboCop is an upcoming 2014 science fiction action film directed by José Padilha. It is a remake of the 1987 film of the same name and a reboot of the RoboCop film series, making it the fourth installment of the franchise. The film stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role.
Screen Gems first announced a remake in 2005, but it was halted one year later. Darren Aronofsky and David Self were originally assigned to direct and write the film, respectively, for a tentative 2010 release. The film was delayed numerous times, and Padilha signed on in 2011. In March 2012, MGM announced an August 2013 release, but that was then changed to February 2014. The principal characters were cast from March to July 2012. Principal photography began in September 2012 in Toronto and Vancouver, with additional locations in Hamilton, and Detroit in the United States.
The film is scheduled for release in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2014 and in the United States on February 12, 2014, and in Lebanon February 6th 2014.

Kanye West rented out San Francisco's AT&T Stadium to surprise his fiance Kim Kardashian on her 33rd birthday by asking her to marry him. Well, when you're that rich, actually, you let the Jumbotron do your talking for you — Kanye had it read "Please Marry Me," but all in caps. Now that they are engaged, West soon will be Hubby Number Three for Kim.
Kanye, 36, also handed her a beautiful, shiny 15-carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz, the Kardashian family jewelry designer. West had planned the whole thing several days in advance, and had their families and friends there. Kim Kardashian seemed to be somewhat surprised, but I'm not sure how surprised she could have been, especially if she noticed the other people at the stadium…at all.
According to a source, there were about 50 people there with the happy couple. Around 20 or so were pals and relatives of Kim's, while the rest included pals of Kanye's from the Windy City, Chicago. Also, the owners of the San Fran Giants were there, and some very wealthy guys from Silicon Valley worth billions.
How did Kim Kardashian not notice her relatives and friends?
Hiding in a dugout, Kim's mother Kris Jenner, 57, and friends of her waited for the right moment to come out and surprise her. Only Kim's mother, Kris, had been told in advance that Kanye West was about to propose to Kim. Not even Kim's sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, knew what was going on (somehow).
As Kanye West and Kim Kardashian pulled up in a chauffeured car, there were no lights on at the stadium. Kim, according to the same source, did not know that her family and friends were there.
Kim entered the stadium blindfolded, with Kanye, while music from a 50-piece orchestra played.
By then, the Jumbotron was lit up. Kanye did the traditional pose men take in situations like this, getting on one knee, and the rest of the lights finally were turned on.
The lights coming on was the signal for Kim's family and friends to leave their hiding place. They ran out to tell Kanye and Kim congratulations.
As no happy occasion can be held without a feast of some sort, caterers then made their appearance and served up tempting dishes such as sushi.
Kim's sisters had made up the story to tell her. They told her that they were going to be at a spa with their mother in Arizona. Apparently, Kim fell for their story, hook, line, and sinker.
As for where the couple's baby was during this happy occasion, North West was in the city, just not at the AT&T Stadium.
What famous legendary singer inspires Kanye?
One of Kanye West's favorite singers is Elvis Presley. His love of Presley's music and knowledge about the King's life inspired Kanye with the idea of getting married in a wedding chapel.
Kanye, who is not surprised by much, was surprised when Kim agreed to this Presley-inspired idea. The couple have discussed possible wedding plans before, and they have even gone to check out the wedding chapel at Graceland. That's where celebs like Bon Jovi and Miley Cyrus' parents got hitched.
Kim Kardashian seemed to love her engagement ring, but the one that her second husband, NBA basketball player Kris Humphries gave her, had even more carats, 19.8 to be exact, and a diamond at the center of 16.2 carats.
West was involved in choosing the stone, looking over several diamonds before finally selecting the 15-carat sparkler he proposed to Kim with.
The quality of the diamond ring Kanye gave his wife-to-be is unmatched. It's a cushion-cut diamond, a D-stone, type 2A one, befitting a princess of reality shows and the love of Kanye West's life. The ring's been valued at over $3 million, compared to the ring Humphries gave her, which has been valued at around $2 million.
In 2007, Kanye West and Kim met each other, and they have been friends ever since, though they only started to date each other in 2012 towards the end of the summer.
Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries was short-lived, only lasting for 72 days. Kanye and Kim have already been together far longer than that, though not in holy matrimony. Hopefully, the celebrity couple will be together for a long time to come.

Captured Memories by Katherine Mcintyre
Check out this awesome story in the Cupid's Cafe Series
An invitation to Cupid's Café will change your life.
After the incident that caused Liv Morozov to drop out of college, years later she's still trying to pick up the pieces of her life. She's managed to carve out a career for herself as a photographer, but when it comes to guys? Her issues send them running for the hills, every damn time.
Zane Parata has declared himself off-limits for relationships. Between trying to maintain sobriety and the long hours he works as a chef, no one wants to deal with his brand of damage, and he wouldn't want to burden them in the first place.
When Liv shows up at Cupid's Café, she never expected to find Zane, her brother's former best friend who had vanished one day and never returned. The sparks that surged when they were both teens rekindle stronger than ever, and all too fast, Liv and Zane entangle in each other's lives, breaking their own rules. Except with both struggling with the demons from their past, the love that's begun to grow is one lapse away from shattering the two of them beyond repair.

, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Paul Kakubi, 38, a cultivator, and David Muramuzi, 28, a builder, both from Kangore village in Sheema county, shivered as the registrar read the courts judgment last week. The Two men who killed an old woman in Bushenyi District on suspicion that she was bewitching them are to hang to death.
The High Court had earlier convicted the two men of murdering Jolly Ntegyereize, their neighbour, on July 13, 2004. The culprits were identified by the children who were present during the murder.
The men had appealed against their conviction and death sentence, arguing that the trial judge had failed to properly evaluate the evidence on record.
On thoroughly perusing the record, we are in complete agreement with the trial judge that only logical conclusions on the available circumstantial evidence are that the appellants are the ones who committed the offence,the court ruled. The deputy Chief Justice, Laetitia Mukasa-Kikonyogo, headed the-three-justice-panel. The other members were judges Alice Mpagi-Bahigeine and Amos Twinomujuni.

While coming across a really cool Saab photo on the internet, did you ever felt a desire to be able to shot such a photo by yourself ? You might think, these pictures are taken by a professional in an atelier with an expensive equipment. Sometimes you are right. However a lot of fan pictures are high quality as well and their authors aren't visual gurus, but just people like you. They just have a bit more knowledge how to use a camera and a little bit more practise.
There is a nice online workshop on car photography. It's a part of a campaign for the new Photoshop (CS6) and Lightroom, but crafted very useful and in this case targeted to all of us who love to photograph our cars.
The video below is a part of the workshop and is giving a few hints on the topic. They are mainly technical nature and requires to have a DSLR camera or at least a camera with manual modes. It's shot in an atelier, but the hints are valid for outdoor shooting as well.
It doesn't make you an expert in 10 minutes, but after trying some techniques in the next photoshooting opportunity will definitely improve your skills. And - practice is the king :)

Hoover Vacuum My Hoover cannister model s3614 "runabout powermax" suddenly lost power to the agitator roller in the rug brush. Where the wire cord enters the power brush, the covering has rubbed off exposing the wires which are not bare but still have their own covering. For a while the power came and went as I manipulated the wires but finally died. Is this something I can fix myself or is it going to be an expensive professional repair? (Warrantee has elapsed.)

Lately, my Kirby Ultimate G has been acting funny. When I push it forward, it's fine, but when I pull it backward on the carpet, the light on the front flickers and the power flutters off an on. I thought it might be the rollers, so tonight I turned the machine over and pulled out the hair that was wrapped around the roller. However, that did not fix the problem. I should probably backtrack a little bit. In the past, I have had problems with the vacuum running over its own power cord.
The cord will need to be replaced with a cord made for the machine, as it has a non-standard plug. The cord cover is held in place with a # 20 Torx screw. Remove the screw and push the cover gently from behind to unlatch it. The handle must also be r ... Kirby Ultimate G Bagged Upright Vacuum

Greater Wellington Public Transport Statistics
In the 2015/16 year:
- 90% of the region's residents used public transport
- 149,000 public transport journeys were made per average work day
- The average number of public transport trips per person, per year in Wellington is 72, compared with 47 in Auckland and 20 in Canterbury.
- 37.3 million passenger trips (average of 3.1 million per month) were taken
- 65.2% by bus
- 34.3% by train
- 0.5% by ferry

In a sarcasm-laced letter, Gov. Tim Pawlenty on Tuesday brusquely rebuffed DFL legislative leaders' invitation to a summit meeting that would address the state's ongoing financial crisis.After the disaster that was the last session Marge and Larry are still crying for some manner of do-over.
Late last month, Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller and House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher invited former governors, speakers and majority leaders to a "Minnesota Leadership Summit."
In Tuesday's letter to Pogemiller and Kelliher, Pawlenty declined the invitation. "The state already has a 'Minnesota Leadership Summit,'" he wrote. "It's called the legislative session and it lasts approximately five months."
He then went on to lambaste the DFL legislative leadership for having "wasted the first few months of the session," only to pass budget bills in the waning moments of the session.
The summit, scheduled for Sept. 8, will also feature economic experts and specialists in fiscal management. The summit's immediate goal is to devise strategies to deal with chronic state budget deficits. By some accounts, the state could be $7 billion in the red by 2011.How to deal with chronic state budget deficits? Simple; stop electing chronic spenders. There; solved. Go home Larry, go home Marge.
During the past year, Pawlenty wrote, "DFL legislators have done a thorough job of admiring our state's budget difficulties, but have refused or been unable to take action to address them."Of course it also will give Larry and Marge more time to spin and weave their blankets of political cover; their situations made tough by that mean old daddy, Governor Pawlenty.
The summit, he wrote, would do little more than "rehash already established concerns."

A rose for family of US plantation owner executed by Castro
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
MIAMI – Cuban exiles in Miami have been celebrating the death of Fidel Castro, so noisily that in a nearby cemetery, the marble angels echo with the cheers of conga-lines down Calle Ocho. The Caballero Woodlawn Cemetery on Southwest Eighth Street holds many famous anti-Castro exiles, including the family of one Robert Fuller.
That's not a name that leaps to mind nowadays, but Fuller holds a special place in Cuban history, as one of a small group of Cuban-Americans who tried to overthrow the Castro government in 1960, six months before the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Fuller was born in Cuba and had dual citizenship, and was furious when the rebels confiscated his family's sugar plantation. He rode a PT boat with several dozen men and a few weapons from Miami to the island, where he was swiftly captured and executed by firing squad.
His niece, Katherine Fuller, visited the family gravesite this week to honor his memory. She hopes to visit the island now that Fidel is gone. But first, she said, she's got some celebrating to do.

Lucy & Dean H - Dorset - June 2011
Redway Farm is without doubt the best B & B we have ever stayed in. It is set in a beautiful tucked-away spot in the countryside, but with easy access to the rest of the island. Linda and her family made us feel like long-lost friends, giving us the warmest welcome on our arrival (complete with yummy home-made cake!)The Manor Suite is just beautiful. You can lie in the huge bed, and the gorgeous roll-top bath, and look out over the countryside, and pretend you are Lady of the Manor! Everything was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and well thought out, and the fresh flowers were a fabulous finishing touch.We thought it couldn't get any better until we went down for breakfast! Once again, we were treated to beautiful views over the garden and surrounding countryside, and a simply wonderful top standard breakfast, with fresh eggs from their own chickens. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt like we were being really looked after. We both are in agreement that not only are we definitely visiting Redway Farm again, but will next time bring friends and family to share it's tranquil spot and Linda's hospitality. They have worked incredible hard restoring the house and you can really feel the love that they have put into it. An absolute gem of a find.

Jewelry Fashion Trend Quick Report in Summer
This is the most important question in your fashion style world, are you ready for the summer yet? And the next question; "is your jewelry wardrobe up to date?" Actually I'm a man and I know less about woman fashion, because I'm not a fashion designer. In order to get prepared for the summer with the right directional colors and styles, yes this is some item that you must probably start the research right now.
Handmade gemstone jewelry Big or chunky beaded necklaces are still the focus of this summer, is it true? This is 2009 friends. Two styles exist at the same time: colorful and fun tone beads and organic earth tone beads. Organic beads include bone and onyx necklaces. A more prevalent style is the eye-catching colored wood bead necklaces, good idea huh?
Equivalent with the necklaces above, enormous finger rings with big faceted gemstones this summer that made by a designer. Bold and sparkling solitaire rings with a huge center stone set on large prongs seem to be the norm in most part of Europe this year. Thick band with many small stones set on pave settings is another popular style that you might want to keep an eye on and this is the most extreme fashion style, you know that? Well, BOLD is the idea in summer style.
As for earrings, trends are in linear or fringy styles this year. Dangle earrings with geometric designs incorporating loops and chains is the way to go. Yes earring maybe a covered item behind your long hair, but this is essential too.
Bracelets are a little overshadowed by necklaces this year. Simple charm bracelets are back in trend. Murano glass is the best simple Charm bracelets today, and it has nice gemstone.
Gold color is this year's metal theme. Also, deep browns, khakis, bright reds, oranges, off-whites, and light beiges are the primary stone and I mean it, so what you waiting for? Get the reviews only on pendant necklace dot us.

Connections between the proteganists:
Protagonist in movie is: Vincent and is playing the clone of Jorge.
Protagonist is book is: Matt and is the clone of El Patron.
- Both were created in a lab. (Matt started off by a cell). Vincent had Jorge give him blood and urine samples, but Vincent created himself to look like Jorge and have his DNA on his fingers.
- At the beginning of the book The House of the Scorpion Matt wasn't very strong and he was trapped. He could never live his life to the fullest because he is a clone. At the beginning of the movie Gattaca Vincent wasn't very strong and his brother would beat him in everything... He also could never live his life t the fullest because he could have lots of problems when he gets older. Like not live as long.
- Started from the middle of he book Matt left the house and the slaves pen. He went to live with El Patron and got almost everything he wanted. He was more free. Starting from the middle of the movie Vincent made it into Gattaca and started to pretend he was Jorge. People believed him and he finally made it into space. He was free.
- Matt was in love with Maria and it was a forbidden love. He loved her so much he would do anything for her. Vincent was in love with Irene. Normally the people that didn't have that many flaws would look for another person that had not very many flaws too. Vincent had lots of flaws and Irene loved him, and she didn't have that many flaws.
- Matt was a clone of El Patron and Vincent was a clone of Jorge
- In the book and movie stases are formed by genetics. If you had lots of flaws you would be lower on the social hierarchy. If you didn't have that many flaws you would be higher on the hierarchy.
i.e. Vincent had a bad job and couldn't go into space even how smart he was. He started to pretend to e someone else.
- In the book when El Patron died Matt was know El Patron because he is his clone. In the book Jorge killed himself, so know that he is died Vincent is know Jorge.
- Both protagonists are smart. They are both round characters, so we knew a lot about them. They are both in between dynamic and static. There personality stayed the same but there looks and who they are suppose be be changed.

The Professor and I were discussing the recent White House claim that Bush has read 60 books so far this year, including an 800-pager, American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
random thoughts:
Ok...8 months divided by 60 books = a feat conceivable for anyone but Bush.
If you calculate his 2hour+ workouts each day, his inability to stay up past 9pm, and the "presidenting" he's supposed to be doing between the workouts and the sleeping... I mean, he'd have to be reading close to 3 hours a day, and, quite frankly, I don't think he's capable.
When it comes to the things that separate us from the apes, he's demonstrated he's got the attention span of a kumquat.
