This post was prompted by information submitted by a third party who wants to be named – 'Modest Means'. The content has been paraphrased from a Sunshine Coast Daily story published in July 2011 – linked here.
'Modest Mean's' take on the story is reproduced below:
Research on our Federal Parliamentary remuneration has been ongoing by this site for the past two odd years – ever since the House proposed an overhaul of remunerations that led to base salary increases from $131,170 p/a to $190,550 p/a.
The increase was supposedly to be offset by the yielding of certain Members and Senators expense entitlements like overseas travel and the like. The almost 70% increases in 'base salary' highlighted above happened in the period after Gillard replaced Rudd from Aug 2010 – Oct 2011 with additional increases approved early in 2012 and to take effect from June 2012.
The base salary is used to determine all MP and Senator, State, and Authority remunerations from the PM down to a backbencher, to State MP's, Judges, Public servants appointments and the like.
For, example, the PM receives 160% of the base salary in addition to the base salary – i.e. her salary is [($190,550 * 160%) + $190,550 = $495,430)]. The PM and other MP's and Senators are also entitled to an Annual Allowance of $32,000 if the Electorate is less than 2000 square kilometers, and rises for larger electorates. There is also a base travel allowance of $19,500 if no vehicle is used, and/or additional travel allowances if a vehicle is used etc …
This goes all the way down the line and can be summarised by saying, that of the 150 Federal Members, and the 80 Federal Senators, the cost of salaries, allowances, travel, office, staff, and other approved expense allowances as itemised below, currently cost the Australian taxpayer some $350 million a year – [this number remains unverified but will be when the Guru post are published.]
This does not include unfunded and/or funded superannuation schemes.
The cost to taxpayers for the 150 Members and 80 Senators, that averages out at around $1.5 million per elected Member/Senator.
At the time this research undertaking commenced in early 2011, and in the month, and year that followed, the story became so big and challenging that to pin down a focus was difficult. The changing scale of the 'base salary' was never ending and then a decision was made to let it lapse. The research has again been resurrected and is being pursued as a priority and will be the focus in coming days and weeks until completed.
Some of the issues that had been looked into included:
'Modest Means" has given a reason to revisit the research material and publish some of the findings. In coming days EYE-BALL Guru will begin posting on a story Titled –
To bring some much-needed levity – there is always the Larry Pickering Cartoons … below is a sample of his summer offerings – his images page can be access here … [click on image below to enlarge] … enjoy and don't hurt yourself with the belly laughs …
Larry Pickering also writes some very intelligent blogs including many on the AWU scandal. Whilst not as regarded as Hedley Thomas in journalistic circles – his penmanship and his heady wit give him a take on things not easily publishable in mainstream media. None the less … his take on events cuts to the chase and he does not mince words … his Facebook page can be accessed here …

Thank you for writing something worth talking about beside this doping in sport rort.
When Bob Carr was NSW Premier he was considered the master at distracting the press cycle. That is what this ACC and ASADA story is all about.
Yesterday it was said that John McDonald received secret commissions, as mines minister under former ALP government. Instant gaol time. The Federal ALP has been consistently embarrassed by corruption since the PM announced Sept 14 to be her nominated Federal election date.
They needed something to distract. In the light of Flo Jo and Lance Armstrong and influencing professional soccer, Jason Clare and Kate Lundy have sufficiently created a distraction between any possibility or thoughts through Australian Crime Commission and Australian Sports and Drugs Authority. Name one name. Name one Coach. Name one football player manager.
I heard only one hour ago that cows who had been given fertility hormones, where allowing their own calves their milk. As this cycle of fertility hormones is a known growth hormone any club sponsored by a milk company is right in the thick of things. That is Canberra Raiders and Penrith Panthers. Don't forget the minor sponsors. A coach or conditioner at Manly and saints include milk in their daily dietary requirements. Well how about players who might have taken milk unknowingly. Yeah!
Anyone having ingested milk today please put your hand up. We will go easy on you if you come clean immediately.
It was pointed out at the Sydney Paralympics that drug testing of those on medications is nigh on impossible.
How about Watermelon. Yeah it is a diuretic. Anyone have consumed watermelon in the last 7 days own up, we will catch you!

Nut jobs, mmmm
Are we discussing Walnuts, Peanuts, Almonds or testicles. Maybe calling anyone a nut job is referring to testicles. What a misandrist statement.
Absolutely unacceptable.
I will label misandry when I see it.
February 8, 2013 at 11:12 pm
lol …
They live in sewers … they eat the rat droppings … they dwell in their own minds set on a path driven by ego and pride … humility is a lesson all Leaders should carry with them at all times …
It is not only misandry you should be calling out – hunt and destroy those that would do this Nation harm …

How good is our Prime Minister?
She has now been able to get Pope Benedict XVI to resign to get corruption off the front pages of the tabloids.
Seriously, as all the scuttlebutt regarding the substance of ACC and ASADA slowly leaks out, it is all a very sad day. Australian Sport is further tarnished forever. Every long suffering British sportsperson will tell this story to their grandchildren for ages to come. The death of the Australia Sport. From Les Darcy, to Phar Lap and Bradman, to a list far TOO LONG, to Peptides. All based on smear and innuendo, and a starving media, who have no shame!
Shame! Shame! Shame!

Fuel oil, lubricants included in fuel tax reform
China plans to include fuel oil and lubricants under the fuel tax structure to be introduced Jan. 1, an official with Ministry of Finance said Wednesday.
The tax on fuel oil will be 0.8 yuan a liter, the same as diesel, while the tax on lubricants will be 1 yuan a liter, the same as gasoline, the official said in response to a query from Dow Jones Newswires.
On Friday, the government unveiled a plan to introduce fuel taxes to replace six kinds of road maintenance charges. It mentioned gasoline, diesel and naphtha, but did not clarify whether fuel oil or lubricants would be covered by the new tax structure.
The official said Wednesday that the tax on naphtha will be 1 yuan a liter, but naphtha used to produce ethylene will be exempted to support the ethylene industry.

Keeping My Kids Close, Even When They're Far Away
While my career has taken me to Los Angeles, my sons live in Fort Lauderdale with their father. That's nearly 3,000 miles of land between us, but we've managed to bridge the gap in creative ways, in fact I believe that the distance has made our relationship stronger.
I remember when my sons lived with me, I would rise early in the morning, rush through getting them dressed and out the door to drive to not one but TWO different schools before heading to work, myself. I would then get off, rush to pick them up from their respective schools, drive home, prepare dinner, enforce homework duties before bathtime and then off to bed they go while I stay up for a few extra hours working on my own writing projects. I usually passed out a little after midnight and then the saga began again.
RELATED: Being Mommy (Without the Kids)
What was missing? Face time. I was so caught up in trying to make some headway in my career as a journalist that I would regretfully abandon them to playtime in their rooms when we had a spare moment so that I could market myself, write freelance articles or cultivate my online audience on my blog. I didn't want to give up on my dream of supporting myself by being a writer, but my relationship with my sons suffered.
Now, five years later, my sons live with their dad and I live far away; yet I spend more quality time with them than I ever did before. I know my sons—I mean I really know them now. If I can catch them in the morning before school I call them and wish them well on their day, or ask them to make a wish and see if it comes true that day. Once they leave school and make it home, they call me and we talk about what happened. I ask them questions about their friends, their attitudes and daily activities.
I do miss them and I do cry, but I try not to do it while they are on the phone.
I can tell you who they hang out with, which girls they like and what they learned in school that day. I hear about the daily woes with teachers, adventures with their dad and recitals that they perform in. We talk about current events and what that means to them as children, we tell lots of jokes, and trade YouTube videos and emails back and forth.
My sons are 10 and 12, and I bought them both laptops so we can stay in touch. We use Skype, though not as often as I would like. My 12-year-old is really into sneakers. He researches them and prices them, and when he found a website that allowed him to design his own sneakers for fun, I encouraged him to think about designing his own line of sneakers as a business, so now we discuss how to begin by learning about others who have done it. My younger son is into books, just like I was when I was little.
The biggest surprise about all of this is that I have never heard my sons cry because I am gone. Before I left I explained to them why I was leaving, and they said they supported me in going after my dreams. I do miss them and I do cry, but I try not to do it while they are on the phone. We teach our children how to react to situations by allowing them to watch us react. I decided that my leaving to live in Los Angeles was going to be a big step in my career, and I shared these goals with them with such passion that they share my passion and excitement, too.
RELATED: The Not-so-Glamorous Life of a Single Mom
I'm doing OK. We're doing OK. I can't wait to hold them in my arms again, to cuddle with them and to take another trip to the beach. Until then, as long as cell phones work, I'm happy to set aside a couple of hours every day to involve myself in their world, to listen, teach them how to navigate tricky situations and laugh with them as we continue to create memories, despite the distance.

The problem
Ultimately this runs into one of the difficulties around a democraticly-managed site: just as the dotNET restrictions went away because people wanted it, an adware program got onto the site because people wanted it. Now it looks like an exception has been made that wasn't at all intentional so let's hash this out:SYSTEM wrote:TPFC used to have a very strict policy against bundleware or adware. That policy is no longer enforced in practice because programs like FreeFileSync can easily remain in the database even if they start to bundle crapware later on.
Adware's going to continue to happen. It's an unfortunate reality that programs on the site will continue to go in this direction. When that happens, we will have three options:
- Include it with a clear notice about how to decline the install
- Find a way around it (whether PA works out a method or via 7-zip/Uniextract)
- Immediately ban any program that bundles junkware
Since this site has always been a little bit bent towards taking some extra effort via UniExtract, custom config files, etc., lots of programs on the site aren't portable if you don't follow the extract instructions. It seems equally reasonable that additional instructions could reasonably turn an adware program into freeware.
That said, I can't deny that adware is screwing up freeware for everyone. Stuff like this is what keeps the non/semi-technical from trying freeware. Still, I'm uncomfortable with the idea of protecting users from themselves by avoiding anything to do with something that might land adware on their computer.
My suggestion
Allow adware only if there is a way to bypass the "uncheck" screen via 7-zip, Uniextract, or a PA version. I'll make sure to include a notice in the entries around the presence of adware.

Linking placements in marketing is an important thing which every entrepreneur must embrace. This does not mean it is obvious for everyone to do and gain the maximum benefits from linking placements.

I know everybody probably says this, but I totally have the most awesome dogs ever!! I mean how could they not be right? They are my best friends and help keep me company 90% of the time. They are also the best taste testers, cause they like everything that I make. So yeah, they are pretty spifftastic.
One of the best ways I've found to stay active is to also walk with my boys. They love it, and we all get to reap the benefits from it. They may not be the most behaved on their walks, we are currently working on that though…. But they are still pretty great. As long as Jack isn't trying to kill Maddox or me with his dumb love ways. Honestly he really does everything out of love, even trying to kill himself and his family by pushing, pulling, or otherwise tripping them into traffic. Otherwise, they do normal dog things like get overly excited when they see squirrels, other dogs, or when people walk by them. Hey if you read this and totally know these dogs it is ALRIGHT to pet them, otherwise I have to hear them cry for the next few minutes because apparently me loving them is not enough.
But hey, what can you do. Walking them though has been a great way for me to stay active though. If I know I am not going to be able to fit in a workout later on int the day hey I took them on a walk and that is better than nothing. So yeah me and my walking buddies. They are the best!!

So I had my left eye cataract surgery on June 30. It did not go well. It seems my eye had an inflammatory re Belstaff football sponse. All in all, the week before the 4th of July weekend, I had three surgeries on that eye. Belstaff football
My vision in that eye is now 20/100, but it is clearing a little bit at a time. They said I will require another laser surgery to remove a vale of cells that are forming over my pupil. They said the laser surgery is no big deal, especially after what I've been through.
I'm pretty confident that they will make it right. I had checked this eye clinic out pretty thoroughly in advance. The head surgeon, Dr. Fichman, runs the place ergo Fichman Eye Clinic. He has no reprimands on record, nobody is suing him or his company, nor has he/they been sued in the last six years.
They specialize in cataract and lasic surgery, so their practice is booming. They have been doing this kind of surgery in their Belstaff football own facilities for over ten years, and have had a very low turnover of medical staff. On my OR crew, the newbie had been working there six years.
These people know what they are doing. So when things didn't go smoothly, I was very glad I put the effort in up front to know I am dealing with the best. That alone took a lot of the worry out of the situation.

Discovery, Integration, Communication, Engagement: Learning through Scaffolds in a Field-Based Course - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v5 p167-171 2012
A field-based course in an applied science program can have numerous learning outcomes. These are typically addressed through demonstration, active participation by the students, communication between students and instructor and amongst students, and independent work by students individually or in small groups. Such courses are also opportunities for students to develop their critical thinking. The author's experience is that teaching techniques used to deliver field courses are generally inherent and based on the experience of the instructor and the teaching culture within the academic unit. These techniques are typically not drawn from the pedagogical literature, although they do have similarities to such established concepts such as scaffolds. Recognition of teaching concepts drawn from the pedagogical literature and their application to the design and teaching of field-based courses may improve the delivery of course material and provide a better student experience. Thinking and teaching in terms of the support that scaffolds represent may also smooth the transition from classroom to outdoors back to classroom. Supported learning based on established teaching methods will improve a student's opportunity for Discovery, Integration, Communication and Engagement.

A Double Blessing
Along with tract distribution, another of our major sources for contacting Jewish people comes from concerned Christians who send us the names and addresses of their Jewish friends. Approximately one in every 20 Jewish persons we contact this way is open to consider the claims of Jesus.
Bill" (not his real name) was one of those contacts who was willing to receive more information about Yeshua when I called. Bill told me he was at a low spot in his life. Due to his unfaithfulness, his wife had just left him. I gave Bill my telephone number and told him that I would send him some literature about what we believe.
A few days later, I received a phone call from Bill's wife, "Fran." She had returned to their home to get some of her things, and had noticed my name and telephone number on her husband's coffee table. She called me to find out what Jews for Jesus was, and she was excited to learn that I was ministering to her husband. She was hoping that somehow he would change and they would be reconciled.
In the course of our brief conversation, I ascertained that although Fran was attending church regularly she did not have a personal relationship with Yeshua and had no assurance of salvation. I explained the gospel to her, and she understood it. She wanted to pray with me over the phone to receive God's salvation and to have the Messiah come into her heart. I helped her make the commitment and told her to keep praying for Bill. I promised that I also would continue to pray for him. Praising God for his wondrous ways, I had no idea of what was yet ahead.
After a few weeks, I called Fran to see how she was doing. She said that she was fine, but she was giving up hope on Bill. After another week, she finally considered it a lost cause and tried her best to forget about him.
In the meantime, I had been trying to contact Bill to see what he thought of the material I had sent him. It was two more weeks before I could get through to him, but his first words to me both delighted and surprised me. "We need to talk!" he said.
Bill began by telling me that he now realized his lifestyle was wrong, he had hurt his wife, and he wanted her back. He didn't know what to do. I told him about God's love and power and explained the gospel to him. He said it sounded good, but he was still a bit confused about what it all meant. We made plans to meet the next day.
When we met, I explained the gospel again. I used diagrams and had Bill read some of the Scriptures for himself. This time Bill understood what God wanted to do for him. Though he could not comprehend what specific plans God had for his life, he wanted to follow the Lord instead of his own path from that day on. Bill prayed with me to receive the Lord and then told me again of his great desire to have his wife back. We prayed about it, and set up a meeting for the next week.
I have been meeting with "Bill and Fran" and they are both growing in the Lord and in their relationship with one another. I praise God, the mender of broken hearts, broken souls and broken homes, for the way he works!

8-year-old girl in critical condition after being shocked in pool
SILVER SPRING TOWNSHIP, Pa. —
An 8-year-old girl is in the critical condition after she was shocked in a backyard swimming pool Sunday evening.
The accident happened at a home on Rockledge Drive in Silver Spring Township. There were eight children in the pool at the time.

The remaining £2m relates to the acquisition of Carrwood Barker Holdings which Lighthouse bought in December 2005.
Lighthouse group finance director Peter Smith says the £7.6m impairment charge reflects the loss of capital of the acquired businesses at year-end valuations.
He says: "It is inevitable in this climate that there has been a fairly sharp markdown because the view of the business, particularly over the next couple of years, will have reduced compared with where we were six to nine months ago."
The group reported a loss of £8.5m for 2008 after a profit of £1.9m in 2007. The loss was mainly due to the writedown on its acquisitions.
Smith says: "The 2008 figures were hit by a one-off impairment charge which has no effect on cash or trading levels."
The group reported a rise in revenues of £1.5m to £54.4m as a result of its mer-ger with Sumus which brought £15.3m to the group between May and December. But a like-for-like comparison with figures for 2007, excluding Sumus, shows a £13.8m or 26 per cent drop in revenues.
Lighthouse chairman David Hickey says: "We have £12m of cash, no bank debt and we are still making trading profits. The group is well positioned for challenges that the industry will face and to capitalise on the upturn when it occurs."

Aren't fixed-wing aircraft incredibly tricky to pilot and amazingly easy to crash? Well, yes, but the Parrot Disco is no ordinary remote-controlled aeroplane, Its main appeal is, in fact, that it's far from tricky to fly; it's just as accessible as any modern quadcopter. It's as easy to take off and land it; it "hovers" (kind of); and you'll be flying around with away in minutes. The only issue is that you need a bit more space to fly it in than your average quadcopter, simply because it can go so fast, and it can't land on a sixpence like quadcopters can.
Parrot Disco: Take-off, flight and landing
Take-off is very impressive. With the Wi-Fi controller and battery in the drone charged up and powered on, you simply grasp one of the wings, press the take-off/land button on the remote with your spare hand and, once the rear-facing propeller fires up to full speed, and throw it up in the air.
As long as you're gentle, it then takes to the air, rising steeply, and completely automatically, proceeding to fly in autopilot mode at an altitude of 50m in lazy, 60m circles at a speed of 24mph. If you want to, you can simply leave it to circle until you ready to fly. It will continue to circle in "orbital standby mode" indefinitely until you take control and start to steer.
Then the fun starts. The Parrot Disco is extremely responsive and, with its various safety features enabled, you can get stuck in without worrying too much about crashing or losing it. A downward-facing ultrasonic altimeter and camera work together to prevent you flying too low, and you can set up a basic, circular geofence as well. Once the drone hits its limits, it will turn itself around and head back to base.
The most important thing about flying remote-controlled aircraft is responsiveness and reliability, and the Disco meets those demands in spades. The right stick on the control pad is used to bank right and left, gain height and dive, while the left stick is used to accelerate, decelerate and, with a quick flick right or left, enter its "orbital standby mode".
In fact, it's easier to get to grips with than a quadcopter in my opinion, but you really need a wide open space to fly it. If you make an error of judgement about direction or altitude at up to 50mph, it doesn't take too long for things to go wrong, and there's no forward-collision avoidance which can be a disadvantage over more expensive drones.
Landing is the most tricky thing to pull off. The idea is to kill the altitude until you can fly no lower – ideally while flying it at yourself – then, when it's 50m or so away, hit the landing button. The Disco will then cut the power, reverse its propeller briefly to scrub off speed and glide gently to the ground. But it will take practice to land it right at your feet.
Parrot DISCO Fixed Wing Drone with Skycontroller 2 and Cockpit FPV Glasses £895 at Amazon UK
Parrot Disco review: Features and FPV
The Disco is great fun to fly and there is an electronically stabilised 1080p camera in the nose, which produces incredibly smooth footage, recording directly to 32GB of internal storage.
The Disco is supplied with a Smartphone-driven VR headset that streams live 720p video from the nose camera, directly to your eyes for the real-time flying experience. Once your phone is docked in the headset's docking tray, you connect it up to the controller via a USB cable, and put on the goggles, just as you would with a Samsung Gear VR. The headset fits comfortably and securely, and with a strap that stretches across the top of your head as well as a standard stretchy goggles strap.
It is impressive to fly, but I found there was some breakup of the signal when the drone flew further than 250 metres away, and the view looked a little pixellated on the iPhone 6s I was using for this test, but the wide angle of view provided an impressively clear view of my surroundings, and the display also overlays important telemetry onto that live image, so you know how fast you're going, how high you're flying and how much battery life is remaining.
If you do lose track- for example, if you fly beyond the range of the remote control, or you hit the limits of the geofence, the app displays a message in red on screen so you know exactly what's happening.
Another very useful features; with a touch of the shoulder button on the control pad, you can activate the drone's "see-through" mode. This patches through the view from your Smartphone's camera so you can get a handle on what's going on immediately around you before switching back to cockpit view. If you prefer not to have the image fill your vision, it's also possible to disconnect the goggles and view the live stream on the screen of your tablet or Smartphone, which you can clip onto the top of the controller.
Flight time is a staggering 45 minutes where most quadcopters manage less than 30 minutes, range is 1.24 miles, and the brains of the Disco — housed beneath a clip-on flap on top of the fuselage — contain a huge array of sensory wizardry, all designed to make flying easy and trouble free. The C.H.U.C.K. (Control Hub and Universal Computer for Kit) contains GPS and GLONASS radios; an accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope; there's a downward-facing camera and ultrasonic altimeter to help with landing and low-level flight; and a pilot tube on top of the Disco for sensing air speed.
Once you have mastered the Parrot Disco, it's even possible to add an RC module to the flight bay that allows you to connect a full-blown enthusiast remote controller, although beware – by doing this you do lose out on the autopilot features. When you've finished flying, you can clip off the wings and stow it in the boot. Which is handy, as it's quite a large thing - the wingspan is 1.15m, but it is easy to carry.
Parrot Disco review: Verdict
The Parrot Disco is great fun to fly, without having to worry about a huge learning curve, and extremely easy to get to grips with. Even landing is relatively straightforward, and although it seems expensive, I think £1,150 for this lot is actually pretty good value.
But, in order to make the most of the Disco's capabilities, you need a big, wide open area, much more so than with a quadcopter drone will need.
The Parrot Disco is great fun to fly, easy to learn and has all the wizardry to keep you in the air without too much fuss. I would certainly recommend it.

If are generally having trouble finding the perfect man , chances are you have no idea where come across them or worse, you haven't any idea what a good man is. The quest of looking for mr right is one that you can succeed with just one simple change in focus and some tips on where an experienced man goes.
Let us continue; we'd just stated; have we as parents spoiled kids by providing cell phones, laptops rent to own, expensive shoes, special clothing, and computers of rooms, and many others. Parents are being parented, molded into what their own desire us to be instead goods we as a parent deem we should be. Our teens are telling us ways to raise them all. Parented or parenting?
Firstly excellent to clean out the garage, and I mean clear it out, without hesitation as a lot of people most likely to store stuff they never even exploit. Gardening tools should be inside of the shed! My motto is that you haven't much used it in the last year it must go.
? System memory is necessary for running programs, reading documents, and storing internet information as and when you look at it. If you are the purchase of a laptop notebook for simple day to day tasks such as watching movies, net-surfing today etc. then 2 GB RAM is plenty for then you. However, if you need more power and speed for opening heavy files and multitasking, you can go for 3GB or 4 GB RAM sources. For better choice, consider 2GB for minimum requirement, 4GB for optimal and 8GB for upper limit.
If we persuaded you that your old lap top can provide you with a profit, then the subsequent question will definitely be. How and where can I've found this place where my very old laptop can play such a nice role? Well the fact is Trade in laptop as the best resolution. Do not attempt location your old computer on the shelf forever or on the attic and even electronic garbage container. Mysterious cure here will be the fact both variant are wrong, you have to not turn your house into a digital graveyard. Yes, of course have enjoyed and liked the kit while it served you so well, but time moves found on. Realise its value make use of even your old laptop, see what value it has and respect every penny of the bucks you have invested from the past and re invest in the future.
Using the watch example above, we assumed that each bid costs $1.00. Fruits and veggies that many people someone bids (raising the bid by 1 cent), they spent $1.00. So in our watch example, the winning bid was $70.30. Doing the math, we need to know there are 7030 pennies (and each penny represents a bid) in $70.30. If each bid spent cost $1.00, the auction company absorbed $7030.00 the item that retails for $1000.00. Of course, they probably didn't pay retail for components. What's more, right before collected the winning bid amount of $70.30 against the winner. Therefore, the company won by using a large profit, and the winning bidder walked away with a discount on a very nice item.
Start learning today about how anyone generate multiple passive streams of greenbacks and free themselves of the rat race. Become aware of our enslavement to money and ways to release ourselves from the chains throughout our everyday living.

Friskney is not well served with Public Transport
A reasonable bus service exists throughout the day on weekdays and on Saturday. There is virtually no service in the evening and only during summer months does a Sunday service operate.
For villager wishing to travel by train, the situation is even bleaker, requiring an initial journey to either Skegness, Wainfleet or Boston.
Train Services
The franchise for our area is
operated by East Midland Trains.
This provides a 'local' service to Nottingham, with connections at Grantham and Peterborough depending on the destination for onward travel.
Bus Services
Bus services which run as part of the 'Interconnect'
system, are operated jointly by 'Stagecoach' and 'Brylaine Travel'.
Friskney is about halfway along the Interconnect 7 route which allows travellers to connect with other services both at Boston and Skegness for onward travel.
A Sunday service operates only during the summer months and there is not an extensive service in the evening.
Peterborough & London
York, Newcastle & Edinburgh
In some circumstances it may be better to travel to Peterborough for northbound East Coast mainline services as not all trains stop at Grantham.
More information on local services may be had from the East Midlands Trains web site.

|A small query related to database concepts.
|Fri, 24 Dec 2010 05:40:33 GMT
Hi Lets say we have two queries on the same table TAB1 (COL1 , COL2 ,COL3) as SELECT * FROM TAB1 SELECT COL1 FROM TAB1 Isn't it make sense to use the cached cursor of first query. What could be possible drawbacks .. other than having a less efficient query plan , wouldn't it be really efficient for tables less than say 1000 rows. I would like to add such a feature in derby. Any suggestions please.... -- Vipul Modi MSc.(Tech) Information System BITS-Pilani Goa Campus

I'd also forgotten how gross First Aid can be. We covered emergency childbirth (yesterday), wounds, bleeding, and amputations. Ugh. Nastiest things on the planet, and exactly why I was a Music major, and not anything medical-related.
Kinda depressed to be going home already; not gonna lie. I wish I didn't have to leave all the cool people I've met behind. :( On the plus side, I'll (hopefully) get to see some of them this summer (at least 3 will be working out of CFB Comox), and there might be a potential semi-reunion for the 14(/40) of us who couldn't stay for OTC.
This has been a really informative and awesome 11 days, and I'm sad that it's over. Oh well. Onward and upward!
Memorable/amusing (at least to me) quotes:
"Overwatch your cadets."
"You tell the dispatcher what's happened, and they'll figure out that you need an ambulance, and send you a firetruck."
"Tell [the casualty] the truth, but don't be all "Ooh, that's bad... yeah, you probably won't survive."
"How can you tell from looking at me that I have a pulse? What can you tell, besides the fact that I'm ridiculously good-looking?"
"Make sure to talk to still talk to/explain what you're doing to unconscious casualties. They can still hear you."
"Noted. John, I'm taking your wallet..."
"And all your jewelry..."
"It's the ambulance fee!"
"If I was injured, I wouldn't be all "HELP HELP HELP" [like they do in the instructional vids]. I'd be all MOTHERF****R! I've cut off my F***ING FINGER! It hurts like a B***H!"
"If it ain't raining, it ain't training."
"You need to frolic through the fields of daisies!"
"Scoochie scooch!" [Ed. note: One of our instructors actually said this several times. Irony was that he said it right after saying we were "all responsible adults, here".]

Utovlan is a type of medication designed to help treat or manage menstrual disorders. The tablet contains norethisterone, a synthetic form of progesterone, which is a naturally occurring female sex hormone. Progesterone plays a part in facilitating conducive environment for pregnancy by making sure that the womb lining is healthy. The treatment is typically used by women looking to delay their period.
The levels of progesterone decrease in the event a fertilized egg does not attach itself to the womb. The womb lining is then shed as a menstrual period at the end of the cycle. In the event there is an attachment to the womb lining by the fertilized egg, the levels of progesterone remain high to cater for a health womb lining in the course of the pregnancy.
The active ingredient in Utovlan, Norethisterone, copies the effects of progesterone in helping to maintain normal shedding and healthy growth of the womb lining. The drug is used to treat the following;
- Frequent than normal menstrual periods
- Irregular periods
- Heavy periods
- Painful periods
- Postmenstrual tension
- Endometriosis, which is a case where the tissue found in the womb, is found outside the womb
- Heavy doses of Utovlan have also been used to treat breast cancer
Utovlan is a hormonal drug and therefore should be taken as per the doctor's advice. You should take the tablets three days prior to the day you start your menstrual periods. The pack can contain 30, 60, or 90 pills so that your period can be delayed for 10-30 days. You will experience your period exactly three days after you are through with the Utovlan dosage.
Precautions for Utovlan medication
- Pregnancy. Avoid taking Utovlan during pregnancy. As a hormonal drug, Utovlan may pose a risk to the baby. It is noteworthy that Utovlan is not a contraceptive.
- Breastfeeding. Get your doctor's advice in case you have to take the drug during breastfeeding. They can recommend whether you can use an alternative feeding method.
- Lactose intolerance. If you have been advised by your doctor that you have an intolerance for certain sugars, seek his advice before you take this medicine.
- Asthmatic, diabetic, epileptic, women with hypertension and women with high cholesterol levels are not advised to use Utovlan.
- You should contact your doctor immediately you overdose on Utovlan.
Contact your doctor and stop medication if you develop the following symptoms after taking Utovlan; Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, wheezing, loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes), fatigue, itchy skin rash, swelling hands and feet.
Keep all medicine safely out of reach of children. Always consult your medical practitioner for further advice before taking Utovlan.

Ultimate Funko Pop Power Rangers Vinyl Figures GuideBrand: Funko Pop
"It's Morphin' Time" for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as they are set to make a comeback with the Funko Pop Power Rangers release. Part of a growing vinyl arsenal, the celebrated defenders of Earth can be found in several different Power Rangers sets, including versions in Pop! Television and Movies.
Getting underway, the earliest Funko Pop Power Rangers set included Red Ranger, White Ranger and Pink Ranger. There is also a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive for White Ranger that carries a production number of just 480 figures. All of the Wave 1 figures are now retired and command very strong values.
Although the original tv show had six Power Rangers—Red Ranger (Austin St. John), Yellow Ranger (Thuy Trang), Black Ranger (Walter Jones), Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson), Blue Ranger (David Yost), and Green Ranger (Jason David Frank)—the Funko Pop Power Rangers Wave 2 set includes only four, with Green, Black, Yellow and Blue Ranger.
Wave 3 of Funko Pop Power Rangers features the Pink, Red and White Ranger in an action pose. In addition, the 25th-anniversary release looks back at many of the key subjects.
Moving to the big screen for the 2017 film, the Funko Pop Power Rangers line is also part of Pop! Movies. With a new, sleek and modern look, collectors can find five Rangers—Black Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, and Yellow Ranger—in a fierce fighting stance. Ultimate nemesis Rita Repulsa is a Hot Topic exclusive.

Canning Dried Beans
I love canning. I wish we were able to do a garden at our house but since we can't we still try to can local/regional produce. Pulling a jar of delicious food from the cabinet that you lovingly "put up" is a great feeling. Mainly we can tomatoes and green beans, but this weekend we're trying our hand at dried beans. We canned black, navy, and kidney beans.
We use canned beans a lot in the winter for soups, stews, chili, and other throw-together dishes. Aluminum cans contain a BPA lining that's not so great for you, so canning your own beans and other veggies is a great idea. Plus dried beans taste better than canned beans, they are also cheaper and you control the sodium.
We did not soak or cook our beans first, we like the texture to be a bit firmer. However that is not the recommended USDA way so do what feels safe for you and consult your extension office if you have questions.
To start we cleaned and sterilized our jars and lids. Added 1/2 cup of dried beans and filled the rest of the jar with boiling water, leaving 1 inch of head space. Then processed them at 10 lbs pressure for 75 min in our pressure cooker. They look like they are a little less than the cans at the store but we're ok with that. We can't wait to toss them into some warm winter yumminess for a convenient and healthy supper.

The road to advance out of Essex County goes through Amherstburg.
The Amherstburg Midget Majors Stars walked away from the weekend a lot happier than they started it.
On Friday night the Stars handed the St. Thomas Stars an opening round 2-1 playdown loss in the double elimination tournament.
"It's a really good team that we beat and you have to tip your hat to them, they didn't give up and battled us to the last second," said head coach Matt Fox after Friday's matchup.
Roughly 24 hours later, the Stars propelled themselves into this weekend's final as they defeated the Riverside Rangers 3-2.
Stars goalie Mitch Topliffe was outstanding in both games and even impressed the coach with his performance.
"Being a 15-year-old he stood on his head and our defense did a good job limiting their (St. Thomas) opportunities," said Fox.
The opportunities were few and far between Friday night as both teams dug in their heels and delivered an excellent defensive performance.
The score remained tied after the first period.
St. Thomas and Amherstburg exchanged penalties, however neither team was able to capitalize on the man advantage.
Shortly after killing off a penalty, Greg Fera scored to give Amherstburg a 1-0 lead. Eric Shaw and Blaine Bechard picked up the helper.
Frank Desjardins lit the lamp in the third for a 2-0 lead with Fera picking up his second point of the night and Tyler Morand grabbing the second assist.
St. Thomas would break Topliffe's bid for a shutout with five minute left to play. Topliffe would make up for the goal, shutting the door on a St. Thomas scrabble in the final 90 seconds.
"We wanted to let everyone know that we are here to play and that starts with me," said Topliffe.
Topliffe said the win over St. Thomas gives the Stars plenty of confidence.
That confidence carried over to Saturday as the Stars took out tournament favorite Riverside 3-2.
Mike Popel scored twice and Ryan Holzel knocked in one as the Stars find themselves in finals.
Popel admits that Riverside had the Stars number during the regular season, having lost all the matchups, however that means nothing in playdowns.
"This gives us tons of confidence," said Popel. "We know we can beat them. We came to play today and it showed."
Popel said it was their defense that won them the game, stating they were able to get the puck out of their zone when they needed to and stuck to their game plan.
The Stars will have to face Riverside again in the final as the Rangers defeated St. Thomas Sunday afternoon. The Rangers will have to beat Amherstburg twice while the Stars only have to win once because of the double elimination rule.
"I look forward to playing Riverside again," said Popel. "It's a good rivalry and beating them again would give us even more confidence."

May through October is the rainy season for the Bahamas, although the islands have rainfall year round. The northern islands get more rain than the southern islands.
The Bahamas consist of 700 islands and 2,400 coral reefs. Only 30 islands are inhabited. The Bahamas are located in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Florida and northeast of Cuba. Nassau is the capital of The Bahamas, and Freeport is the second largest city. Tourism, international banking and investment management bring in more than half of the country's gross domestic product. The Bahamas have two official languages, English and Creole, and three religions: Baptist, Anglican and Roman Catholic.

Erica Sharpe's jewellery show room and 'Wild Edge Gallery' in Wedmore, will be hosting a fascinating exhibition of arts and crafts as part of Somerset Art Weeks Festival 2017.
The Arts Weeks, established in 1994, encourages artist-led exhibitions, projects and activities in over 100 locations throughout Somerset, and runs from 23rd September to 8th October. The theme of this year's event is 'Prospect' and the Wild Edge artists will be exploring this by looking at the ideas surrounding hidden treasures, possibilities, seeking and searching, from the tiniest gem to the broadest natural environment.
Wild Edge Gallery is venue 44, and part of the Sedgmore section of the event. Artists exhibiting there include sculptor Ian Marlow ARBS who's new works in stainless steel and glass will also include his poetry and words. A short film showing his larger sculptures in gardens and public spaces will also be shown.
Many visitors to Wild Edge Gallery will know Erica Sharpe's unique fine jewellery in fair trade gold and gemstones, but she will also be showcasing her drawings and paintings which are inspired by frequent travels and explorations into wilder places. A previous finalist in the 'Wildlife Artist of the Year', her latest works explore the discovery of Ice Age cave paintings and their techniques. She has recently exhibited these at Thirlestaine Long Gallery in Cheltenham.
M H Goldsmith's contemporary fine jewellery contrasts in style with Erica's, but is hand made to same exacting standard. Opposing colours, textures and forms set with interesting coloured gems are the hallmark of this continental-trained jeweller now based in Somerset.
Bristol artist, Jim Starr, is highly regarded for his bold, contemporary mixed media paintings and screen prints. His work reflects his years of world-wide travel and exploration, depicting the preciousness of natural environments, in particular, wild birds.
Wild Edge Gallery and Erica Sharpe Jewellery will be open from 23rd September to 7th October, Monday to Friday 10am – 5pm and Saturdays 10am – 3pm. There will be a chance to meet the artists, enjoy some refreshments and purchase a wide range of art, cards and prints.

Does great writing matter in blogging?
It's a debate that isn't over—yet. But it's one where more and more blogging experts are emphasizing that your writing does matter, and that readers are drawn in by a strong, engaging voice.
Great writing will:
- encourage people to share your content
- persuade readers to subscribe for more of the same
- get a powerful response—like comments or sales
- make you look like a big player in the blogosphere, even if you're just starting out.
You might not think of yourself as a writer, but your writing skills will make or break your blogging career. Here are five ways to improve.
1. Blog regularly
If you talk to any writer, they'll tell you that you need to write regularly. We bloggers, of course, have an advantage here; there are a bunch of good reasons to produce frequent posts (encouraging search engine traffic, and keeping readers engaged, for instance).
Blogging regularly doesn't necessarily mean daily. In fact, you'll almost certainly do better by writing slightly less often and putting more time and effort into your posts: after all, wouldn't you rather your readers were eagerly looking forward to your next in-depth post, instead of skipping past yet another mediocre 300 word piece that you've churned out?
To get into a regular blogging habit, try setting up a blogging calendar. Once you've found a comfortable routine, it's easy to keep going.
2. Learn actively
Just writing regularly won't get you far. It's also important to actively learn about writing—to look for areas where you want to improve.
You need to slow down when you write. You need to think about what you're writing, and how it works to capture reader attention. You need to devote conscious attention to improving your work to make it more effective. More readable. More captivating and compelling.
—James Chartrand, Why You Shouldn't Write Often, Men with Pens
So how do you give your writing that "conscious attention" which James is talking about?
- Read writing blogs. Ideally, subscribe to them so you get daily tips and inspiration. I'd recommend Daily Writing Tips, Copyblogger, and Men with Pens, for starters.
- Invest in great ebooks. The Copywriting Scorecard for Bloggers is a fantastic resource to have to hand. And if your grammar and spelling could use a bit of work, get 100 Writing Mistakes to Avoid (from Daily Writing Tips).
- Read brilliantly-written blogs, and

Tuesday CUFFH joined the tenants of 1231 Broadway as they demanded repairs for their homes.
Joined by BKA and other community groups, we called on the city to impose real consequences on landlords who subject tenants to unacceptable conditions, and demanded that HPD make emergency repairs to the building, whose inhabitants, already contending with vermin and decaying infrastructure, were left without heat or hot water after the pipes burst on January 6. Now, in the dead of winter, families are denied their right to a safe, stable home as they go over 10 days living in freezing temperatures in the wealthiest country in the world.
We demand that our lawmakers impose actual repercussions on those who would prey on our shared need for shelter. We will continue to pursue legal action, forcing developers and the city to account for the racial impact of gentrification and speculative real estate. We will also continue to engage in direct action, empowering the people in our community to stand up for themselves, their families and their homes.

Manuel Bermejo. Professor. IE Business School
14 October 2011
The European Union has undeniably brought many benefits to Spain, but it is also threatening the welfare state as we know it.
Recently I was in my homeland, Extremadura. I visited Yuste, the final resting place of Emperor Charles V, a man who was ahead of his time, a man who overcame local bias and devoted his life to the idea of a united Europe. It was here that Javier Solana, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, received the Charles V award from Prince Felipe. The award was granted by the Fundación Academia Europea de Yuste for "his trajectory and his commitment to external relations and his work towards peace and democracy". As stated by the President of the European Commission, Durao Barroso, Solana is "a Spaniard of the world."
Against the backdrop of this impressive ceremony, I got to thinking about Europe's role in the world, particularly from the perspective of the Spanish and European family entrepreneur.
Clearly, the common European project provides a market which is rich in opportunities. It is also true that common European policies, and especially the existence of the euro, afford us important macroeconomic stability. In the case of Spain, moreover, the EU has been a source of considerable revenue which has contributed significantly to the country's progress. On a more human level, the EU has secured an unprecedented prolonged period of peace. The concept of a more humane Europe has been introduced under the pretext of being a social Europe which promotes values, human rights, welfare and universal health care, to name but a few of the concepts that are related to this common European project.
However, the crisis has also thrown up serious concerns about the future of Europe in a world which is subject to the transfer of power, to different world views and frenetic change. This year is the 25th anniversary of Spain´s entry into the EU so let's make a quick assessment of how our world has changed during this period: there have been periods of progress, it is currently undergoing a profound crisis; there have been extraordinary advances in technology, science and health; and abominable terrorist activity (11 March, 11 September ...). The feeling that Europe's prominence is waning as Asian and American giants develop is now becoming a reality. The Pacific axis plays more of a leading role than the Atlantic axis.
What future lies ahead for Spanish and European family entrepreneurs? Does the mega concept of "More Europe" actually help us? Is Europe ready to take decisions at breakneck speed as is required today? Is the welfare state as we know it today compatible with the concept of competitiveness and productivity which global markets demand?
I am a staunch supporter of Europe and still believe in Charles V's vision. However, this new world requires different forms of governance, management styles and strategies. The ruling class needs to take bold steps and work towards building a more solid European civil society which will help develop the notion of "More Europe".
