So this week I was asked to make a thank you card for someone who sat on the board where I work. The one thing about this lady is she loves to sew and quilt, so the rest of the board wanted a card that had something to do with quilting or sewing... Challenge accepted!
Here is what I came up with...

An Irvine man was taken into custody Friday on suspicion of fatally shooting his father, authorities said.
Ernest Joseph Bruno, 60, was found dead Friday after family members discovered a significant amount of blood inside his Irvine residence. He was found with more than one gunshot wound, officials said.
Irvine police officers responded to the scene at 1:30 p.m. Detectives identified a suspect, Steven Joseph Bruno, 21, who lived with his father. Investigators said that the suspect got in an altercation with his father regarding a disagreement about money. Steven Joseph Bruno then fled the scene in his father's 2006 Silver GMC Envoy Denali, officials said.

Hi I'm Julie, A
About Me
I am a full-time graduate student and mother of 2 young children. I look forward to graduating in December!! I hope to teach either computer technology education or high school social studies. When I have the time I enjoy sewing, knitting, cross-stitching, and genealogy. I always find time to ski in the winter with my children:)
Why I am a Mormon
I grew up in the Presbyterian Church but drifted away after high school. Over many years I attended different Christian churches but none felt right. I remember back to when I was confirmed into the Presbyterian Church and I knew it was wrong to be confirmed. Again, it wasn't right. I moved out of state and was introduced to the LDS church. I was baptized and confirmed into this church and never had that feeling that it was a mistake. It was the spirit all the time guiding me toward the right path. I've always believed in Jesus Christ as my Savior and I know I am in his Church. I am raising my children in a strong faith that believes we should strive to be like Jesus. We aren't perfect and that's okay. What matters is to try and follow the path. This is more than just attending Church on Sunday. This is about living the gospel every day. I believe that Heavenly Father placed us on this earth as a test. In exchange for placing us here we do have some rules to live by. It is that simple.
How I live my faith
I currently teach in the nursery room and create the church programs each Sunday.

Oh my goodness! Time flies by so fast! I'm already in my third transfer (and finished my 12 week program!!!!) So today, I just found out who I will be with next transfer! Exciting and nervous at the same time!
Okay, so here are the details:
My current companion and trainer, Sister Stephen, will be going outbound to Washington Spokane Mission for 2 transfers (12 weeks). So a part of our mission here in Temple Square is that we get an opportunity to serve an outbound or a regular mission for 2 or 3 transfers within the United States. Mostly, it's in the middle of our missions. My trainer is currently in her 6th transfer.
So much to my anxiety, knowing that she is going outbound, I would have a new companion next transfer. My new companion will be coming back from outbound on Wednesday... and... She's my district leader... so to speak, I am now assistant/companion to the district leader for two transfers. It's as if the Lord is trying to train me for something. Hehehe. I am also assigned as Tagalog Coordinator in the mission, that means, I will serve all the Filipino Sisters here in the square by knowing what they need and how to help them. I find it cool but as of the moment, I still have no idea what I will be doing.
So I changed zones as well. I will be serving most of my time in the Beehive House (President Brigham Young's old home and office building when they came here to Salt Lake Valley). I am excited to know the history and some interesting facts that I could bridge to the gospel with it. I am really excited. Although I am still in the boundaries of Temple Square. My Preparation day will be on Wednesday. So you will be expecting another email from me around Thursday (PH time wise).
The change has not been really easy. This transfer conference was with tears because I have grown to love my companion so much and that we didn't want to leave each other. But no worries, She'll be back 5 days before my birthday which is really exciting.
Missionary work has really been great especially when you really learn how to love the Lord, love your mission and love your companion, district and zone. This has really been a fun transfer for me and I know that it's going to be more enjoyable as time flies. There is still more work to do, still more sacrifices to make, more Christlike attributes to develop. One of the things that my companion (as district leader) has said, "When you are struggling, tried and tested in your mission, that means you still have room to grow." I just love how the gospel always stretches us to become better. And those processes are painful but are worth it. Change is for the good. Change is for us to learn. And I am really grateful for this opportunity to serve a mission.
So I might be running out of words to say for Wednesday... I'll just save some of them 'til then.
Take care and I love you! :)

The Orlando Magic haven't completed the first quarter of their regular-season schedule yet, but they already have endured a year's worth of adversity. Rashard Lewis' suspension, Vince Carter's ankle injury and Jameer Nelson's knee injury -- the Magic have cleared all of those hurdles and emerged with one of the best records in pro basketball.
Now comes another obstacle: a West Coast road trip in which they'll play four games in seven nights.
The sojourn will test their defense, their focus and, above all else, their stamina. The challenges will begin this evening when the Magic (15-4) play the Golden State Warriors (6-12) at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.

In what had to be the feel good story of the year for Orlando, The UCF Knights were able to defeat The Auburn Tigers 34-27 in the Peach Bowl and finish their season as the only undefeated college football team in the nation. While that is a pretty extraordinary feat, especially after going 0-12 one year and then going 6- 7 under Scott Frost one year later, the team seems to have this misguided mindset that they are somehow champions.
Although Frost and The UCF Knights have done something very special in going undefeated throughout the entire 2017 season and then upsetting SEC heavyweight, Auburn in a game for the ages, they still haven't proven themselves against the top tier teams in the country Sure, UCF had some high profile wins in beating Memphis, South Florida and even Auburn, but you have to look at their strength of schedule as well.
While Auburn did win their first encounter against The Georgia Bulldogs 40-7, they also lost to LSU 27-23 and then lost to Clemson 14-6. Those two losses were followed up with a loss to The Georgia Bulldogs, which left the Auburn Tigers out of the playoffs . With that being said, Auburn might have had some success against the upper tier teams at times, but they also failed to get the job done as well.
Of course many fans are going to point to the fact that Auburn beat Alabama in The Iron Bowl this year as proof that UCF is the rightful champion of College Football, but that argument dissipates easily when you consider Alabama's strength of schedule versus that of UCF. Sure, the strength of schedule wasn't that different, but Bama clearly deserves top billing after defeating Clemson, and LSU.
Compare that to UCF and while their two ranked wins versus Memphis and seventh ranked Auburn are very high points for the team, they were taken to the limit by a 23rd ranked USF and also had close calls with Memphis on their second outing. With that being said, and the departure of Robert Frost from the historic school, UCF needs to shut their mouths, accept their victory and get ready for next season.
If not, UCF risks being a toxic hype train that will quickly derail when they are actually put up against a top ranked opponent like Alabama, LSU, Georgia or Clemson. Not only that, they also risk falling down in the rankings if they spend more time complaining about not being in the championship game and less time focusing on the stellar play that got them to The Peach Bowl.
What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below!

Living in
California, you're surrounded by excellent road trip options. This is the state
where automotive travel rules. As a result, we boast amazing roads that will
take you through magical areas. The best way to experience this is from behind
the wheel of a vehicle from Alvarez
Lincoln, your trusted Lincoln dealer in Riverside.
Hit California Highway 1
The beginning of California Highway 1 isn't much. It emerges from a regular spaghetti bowl of freeways in Dana Point. As you travel north and reach Laguna Beach, the road changes names to the iconic Pacific Coast Highway.
All around you are examples of luxurious beach life: chill villas, big yachts, and high-end shopping, to name a few. If you time it right, you can catch the sunset at ideal locations such as Huntington Beach, where the sky and ocean seem to catch on fire.
Continuing on, California Highway 1 takes you underground. You pass under runways at LAX, finally emerging from the McClure Tunnel in Santa Monica.
As the perfect companion for this trip, a Lincoln will serve to only improve upon the experience. While passing through the beach areas, roll down the windows to take in the sea breeze. Open the sunroof, if you Lincoln is so equipped, and allow even more air to flow into the cabin.
As you travel though the underground sections, bright headlights show the way. Ambient lighting fills the interior with a welcoming, soft glow. Rear passengers can use reading lights, when necessary.
Head North
To really change up the pace, head to San Francisco for several exciting California road trip options. One of the most majestic takes you on a giant look around Northern California. It begins in the city. Navigate through crowded streets, sharing them with cable cars and cyclists, before leaving the bustle behind for the quiet serenity of Yosemite.
From there, you hit up Lake Tahoe, then Lassen Volcanic National Park, Burney Falls, Mount Shasta, Redwood National Park, Eureka, Mendocino, and finally Muir Woods.
Considering this road trip takes about 10 days to visit all 10 stops, ample padding in the seats of your Lincoln, excellent contouring, and large bolsters prevent your feeling fatigue. This allows you to concentrate more on taking in the sights, sounds, tastes, more as you pass through the many destinations.
Bask in the Heartland
If you don't spend much time in the central portion of California, you're missing out. To get a better idea of what the section has to offer, take about 3 to 5 days for a journey between Bakersfield and Redding. You'll pass through majestic farmlands, where you can buy produce right on the side of the road for an especially sweet treat.You'll pass through charming Davis, surprisingly sophisticated Sacramento, and chic Lodi Wine Country. Each area has a unique flavor, just like the distinct trims available for different Lincoln models. With the help of the professionals at Alvarez Lincoln, select the one that provides all the options, styling, and technologies you desire.

An "up-DoWn" evening, but good overall…..
When writing about restaurants, one should always compare 'fondants' with 'fondants' – so to speak. Fine-dining establishment DW eleven-13 currently enjoys 7th place on Eat Out's 'Top 10 Restaurants in South Africa.' So, DW will be appraised relative to the standards of other Top 10 restaurants where I have eaten (all but two).
We went to DW for the seventh time so that visiting friends could try a food and wine pairing. Chef Marthinus Ferreira has introduced a 6 course tasting menu, so this seemed a good option.
DW has cleverly made its rather unfortunate location (on the lower level of the unsightly Dunkeld West Shopping Centre) work to its favour. A classy façade distinguishes it from its neighbours. The space itself is modernistic; gorgeously decorated with contrasting African urns and artefacts, sophisticated wallpaper and classic white table settings. The lighting is soft and the ambiance serene.
We had informed DW in advance that we would all order the tasting menu with wine pairing. For some reason, this was interpreted as negating the need to see a wine list. When it was eventually brought to us we followed the recommendation of our wine steward and ordered a bottle of Genevieve MCC Blanc de Blanc 2009 to toast our friend on her birthday.
We were given two copies of the tasting menu printed on flimsy bond paper. One of our party, allergic to shellfish, could not eat the first course of prawn ragu. We had been cautioned in advance that:
"Chef Marthinus would like for you to experience the tasting menu the way he prepared it therefore unfortunately we do not allow any alterations to the dishes."
We were informed, very matter-of-factly, that nothing could be done. No substitution. No concession. Our friend would "just have to skip the first course."
Why do I feel so indignant about this when we knew what we were in for? Because every other Top 10 restaurant where we have eaten has happily accommodated this shellfish allergy. The request doesn't seem unreasonable, does it? Shellfish can be lethal to those who are allergic. While restaurants can't be expected to cater for everyone's foibles, it's not as if we asked for a carb-free, low fat meal! I am left wondering what makes DW so self-important that allowances for diners with legitimate (medical) dietary requirements cannot be made. It affects such a small portion of the menu. Too much to substitute one dish for another? Our friend would have been happy with an extra plate of conciliatory amuse bouches. Instead, we all sat there eating our prawns – he hungrily watched us. This did not make for a happy start to the meal. To add insult to injury, he still had to pay full price for the menu! The message seems to be: 'Like it or lump it, if you can't eat something on the tasting menu then order a la carte and spare us the trouble.' Not the most winsome of attitudes.
So, the un-pleasantries out of the way, the prawn ragu was actually rather tasty. Three juicy, perfectly cooked prawns, served on a delicate tomato compote, drizzled with lemon butter. These subtle flavours worked well and were complimented nicely by the Champagne, Marguet Brut Rose. The second course of springbok tataki and springbok tartare was a favourite at our table. Tataki, meaning 'pounded' or 'hit into pieces' is a Japanese dish. A thin slice of meat or fish is seared, seasoned with vinegar and rubbed with a paste – pounded from a variety of spices. The DW tataki was lightly smoked (something the restaurant has truly mastered) and the tartare was wonderfully rich and flavoursome. Several inspired accompaniments brought these components together: nori (thin, dried seaweed), beetroot gel and parmesan spheres to mention but a few. The wine choice of Rainbows End Cab Franc 2010 originally struck me as odd – a red right at the beginning of the meal. However, it worked like a charm. The Loch Duart Scottish salmon with butternut puree was lovely. Salmon soft and luscious, the butternut added smokiness and gentle sweetness, and pink grapefruit a dash of acid. The whole dish was topped off with super-crisp fried salmon skin – brilliance in terms of texture. Served with Hermanuspietersfontein Bloos Rose, another cleverly selected wine pairing.
An unremarkable palette cleanser of orange and Pimms slush followed. The main course was my absolute favourite, a succulent fillet that melted in the mouth. It was topped with tantalizing rounds of rich, scrumptious bone-marrow. Accompanied by red wine and garlic crumbs, carrot, courgette, onions and rich, deep beef jus, the dish was a triumph. This was served with a complex, fruity Capaia Red Blend 2009. Not a well-known wine, but do try it if you get the chance, it is quite wonderful.
The cheese course was an epicurean revelation. A round of white, creamy goats cheese layered over with a delicate peppered-pink guava jelly. Shallot vinegar caviar – still fabulous (you can read more about it in my review of Cube) – completed the dish. Bursting with flavour, we were all surprised and cheered by the cheese course and the lip-smacking Surin 'Burlesque' Straw Wine 2011 which attended it.
A pudding of dense Valrohna chocolate tart with chocolate sorbet, chocolate soil and honeycomb helped to end the meal on a high. This was served with a Catherine Marshall Myriad Dessert Wine, 2007.
Special attention to detail was evident in the wine pairing. Highest compliments to Patson, who used to be a waiter at DW and is now the wine steward. He explained each pairing to us in detail, was immensely personable and clearly deeply passionate about food and wine. The wines were very well chosen to compliment the dishes. Evidently DW is committed to the development of its staff, and it was heartening to see that there is such opportunity at the restaurant.
The service was variable. Some staff were really warm and kind, others seemed irritated or disinterested. Food was served before the wine on one occasion and we eventually asked for the wine ourselves as nobody had noticed this rookie error.
Small things matter. Always. But much more so at one of the best restaurants in the country. The little irritations of our meal were certainly a pity. I firmly believe that eating out is as much about the joie de vivre as it is about the food. Endeavouring to keep diners happy should be a prioritiy for a Top 10 restaurant. I do like DW eleven-13 and the food was excellent. I recommend the tasting menu, but those who have dietary requirements should proceed with caution.
5 tasting menus, 1 bottle of MCC and 5 other beverages cost R 4800.00 including tip.
The review was sent to the restaurant on 1st September 2012

Safety v's Freedom - a mothers dilemma
Through the Summer holidays I've been thinking about when I was younger and how much freedom I had. I wasn't much older than my oldest is now when I would spend the whole day out with my friends; we'd be up the mountain with a picnic (that the sheep would inevitably eat). I'd be gone first thing in the morning and would go home when it started to get dark. There were no mobile phones; no way to let my parents know that I was safe.
What has changed so much in the last 25 years to make me worry so much about my 6 year old riding his bike out in the street, or meeting a new friend and going to his house?
Hubby keeps telling me that I worry too much and that I need to give the children a bit of independence but I really struggle with it. My oldest has learnt to ride his bike and I do allow him to ride around the street on his own, but I get these feelings of rising panic when he goes any further.
He rode up to the park on our estate on his own yesterday. It's only a few minutes walk away but I felt like I stopped breathing for the whole time he was gone. I'm not used to this and I don't want to let go.
He asked if he could ride up to the park again today, but I said no as his brother was with him, and he's not even five yet. I told them that they could play outside where I could see them from the window. The next thing I new they were back and telling me that they'd made a new friend and asked if they could go to his house.
I just stood and stared at them with all sorts racing through my mind. Extreme, ridiculous stuff.
I didn't know this little boy, or his parents. Hell, I didn't even know if there was a little boy!
What if someone was just tempting them into their house?
What if they were abused?
What if I never saw them again?
I didn't know what to do. The baby was in bed so I couldn't go with them to this unknown house.
I got them to show me which house it was (I could see it from my window) and after asking a few questions about the little boy (including if he could come to our house instead) I decided to agree to them going.
And then spent the next 15 minutes in a state of panic.
I stood at the window hoping to see them running down the street, but all I could see was where they had abandoned their scooter and bike. For the first time, I wished my boys had a mobile phone so I could check they were okay.
I was really panicking.
I have never been so happy to hear my little one wake up and call for me. I picked him up and went straight up to the house that the boys had said they were going to and knocked on the door with trepidation.
The boys were inside, eating a packet of crisps and watching a DVD about dinosaurs, completely oblivious to the emotions I was feeling. They were happy that they had made a new friend, and even happier that this friend had a dog and a rabbit!
I had a chat with the mother (who thankfully, seems really nice) and then took the boys home.
It all worked out okay, but I wonder now if I did the right thing in letting them go.
So, what has changed since I was small?
Is it that there's more traffic, more reports of children being abducted, abused, murdered? Surely that risk has always existed? I used to spend hours on end in the middle of nowhere, where anything could have happened to me, but nothing ever did.
Did my parents worry just as much, but I was as oblivious as my children are now?
Every time I read or hear about something bad happening to a child, I want to hold mine a bit closer. I want to keep them next to me where they belong; where I can watch everything they do and make sure they are safe.
But I know that they are getting older and I need to give them more freedom. They need to be able to enjoy days out with their friends, just like I used to.
They'll always be my babies, but I need to let them grow up. How do I keep them safe while letting go of them a bit? Being a mother is so hard.

Feeling scared
As I get older I'm getting increasingly afraid. Things that I never thought about when I was younger now bother me to the point that it makes me feel ill. And the main reason for this fear? My children.
I'll give you an example. I've always loved driving. In my teens I used to dream about driving. I couldn't wait to learn and I had my first driving lesson on my 17th birthday. I passed five months later and then drove everywhere. When I turned 18 I would be the designated driver on nights out. I loved the freedom of being able to jump in the car and going anywhere I wanted to. I still love that freedom. The difference now is that my children are usually in the car with me. I didn't realise what a massive sense of responsibility I would feel by having little people in the car. I try to make sure everything is safe for them. I drive a decent car; I have breakdown cover and get my car serviced when needed. I don't drive too fast, and am generally as careful as I can be. I researched the safest car seats for the children and I make sure they are fitted properly.
I do all of this and I still get this overwhelming feeling of panic when I think about the fact that this is my whole family in one little container.
Of course, it's not just driving that makes me panic. You could relate this fear to lots of things that never bothered me before. I always say that I can't wait until my children are old enough to take to a theme park as I am looking forward to taking them on a rollercoaster, just like my parents did with me. Though there's already a part of me that thinks "what if something goes wrong?"
Even taking my children to school has got really mixed feelings. I love that they're learning and developing, I love a little bit of a break from them (don't tell them I said that!) but there's also a slight hint of panic at releasing them into someone else's care. I know I look after them well. I will try to do whatever I can to make sure they don't come to any harm. But what happens when they're not with me?
Am I the only one that feels like this? The sensible part of me knows I'm being silly. The mother in me will probably always worry. Isn't that what mothers do?

I covet your prayers, Internets.
Tomorrow I, along with the other troop leader, will be counting over 1000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. That's oh, at least 300 boxes of Thin Mints, a couple hundred boxes of Peanut Butter patties, and who knows how many boxes of LEMONADES!
And we won't be eating a one of them. OK. Maybe just a few... from my daughter's order.
Is there some kind of self-control patch?

I keep reading about Girl Scout cookies on everybody's blogs. But where are MY girl scouts when I need them?! Are they hiding out not wanting to freeze to death from knocking on doors? Come on girls, earn your patches! Bring them here and I will buy (under the guise of "it's for a good cause" of course). I will self-lessly behold, eat, and adore every single Thin Mint. But I don't suppose your troop can make it all the way to the Frozen North.

Patient discussion about swell can
Q. How can we avoid swelling in the legs?
A. it really depends what the cause is- there are 219 different causes, not all of them have the same treatment..you will have to be more specific.
here is a site that helps me a lot, maybe you'll find it useful :)
here is a site that helps me a lot, maybe you'll find it useful :)
Q. can flights cause swelling of the legs? is it normal? is it dangerous? i took a flight from London to N.Y.C a week ago and my ankles looked like two red blimps afterwards and it was painful walking on them later.
A. i think that you got acquainted with my old friend-"Economy class syndrome".. i got it while flying to Australia. this is not normal- this is what happens when a clot of blood forms in your veins (usually legs) and stops blood flow back to the heart. if you already have problems with blood coagulation - your Dr. should have told you to be careful while flying. if not- you got an early call and should check it out. CNN did a story on that, i found you a link:
Q. I have neck pain in the center of my neck. It is also swollen what can it be? I am a 33 secretary and i am usually very healthy. in the past few weeks i am feeling a large swelling in my neck. It is hot and painful, but touching it doesn't make the pain worse. what can it be?
A. Neck swelling can be either from thyroid source or from inflamation of the skin due to infection. to distinguish between them you can check if the swelling is connected to the thyroid or not. Try to swallow. If the swelling is moving - its a thyroid swelling. elsewhere its a cutaneous issue.More discussions about swell can

There are a lot of data recovery companies out there... I went RTS Data Recovery because of the professionalism I experienced over the phone and their lowest price, no data, no pay guarantee. The prices I was being quoted from other companies were outrageous. RTS came through with flying colors. They recovered all my data and at responsible price. They sent my recovered data on a new backup drive that I just plugged in and there it all was. Highly recommend this company!

Publisher's Description▼▲
One of the world's best-loved stories of shipwreck and survival, The Swiss Family Robinson portrays a family's struggle to create a new life for themselves on a strange and fantastic tropical island. Blown off course by a raging storm, the family, a Swiss pastor, his wife, their four young sons, plus two dogs and a shipload of livestock, must rely on one another in order to adapt to their needs the natural wonders of their exotic new home. Inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, this classic story of invention and adventure has fired the imaginations of readers since it first appeared in 1812. Freely translated over the years, with major sections excised and new subplots added, the novel is published here in its original English translation, fully restored for a new generation of readers.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Author Bio▼▲
Johann Wyss (17431818) was, like the narrator of The Swiss Family Robinson, a Swiss pastor who had four sons. He devised the idea of the island and its plethora of natural resources as a way to entertain and instruct his children. One of his sons, Johann Rudolf (17821830), was an accomplished writer and poet, educator and editor who devoted himself to collecting and publishing the folklore of his homeland, and who in 1811 composed the Swiss national anthem, "Callst Thou, My Fatherland?," to the tune of "God Save the King." Johann Rudolf is best known for having completed and seen to publication of his fathers novel, originally titled Der Schweizerische Robinson (Zurich, 1812) and translated into English two years after its first publication. The novel was an immediate popular success, and since then its translators have been many, and they have freely adapted and expanded the original German text, making it one of the most popular novels of all time. This edition reproduces the original English translation from 1816 by the great political philosopher William Godwin and his wife Mary.
John Seelye (editor, 19312015) taught at the University of Florida and wrote numerous books, among them The True Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain at the Movies, Prophetic Waters: The River in Early American Literature, Beautiful Machine: Rivers and the Early Republic, Memory's Nation: The Place of Plymouth Rock, and War Games: Richard Harding Davis and the New Imperialism. For thirty years he was the consulting editor for Penguin Classics in American literature.

A MOTORIST who crashed while racing a friend at high speed, killing a 20-year-old woman, has been jailed for seven years.
Vanessa Connor died after a Ford Probe driven by Dean Leaver, 24, careered out of control and smashed into a wall.
She was in the car with her fiance Adam Godfrey as Leaver raced a BMW being driven by a friend, Derby Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor David Herbert told how Leaver, who was driving without insurance and under the influence of cannabis, crashed at Charlesworth, near Glossop, in December 2001.
Mr Herbert said: "The Probe struck a curb on a bend, bounced across the road into a stone wall and then collided with a Ford Escort.
Severe injuries
"Miss Connor died of severe injuries. Mr Godfrey was also seriously injured.
"An accident investigator discovered the Probe had been travelling at an absolute minimum of 53mph in a 30mph zone when it struck the wall."
The court heard that the BMW driver, who was about 100 yards ahead of Leaver when the crash happened, drove back to the scene of the crash a few minutes later. Mr Herbert said that bystanders overheard a discussion between the driver of the BMW, his passenger Daniel Hornsby, Dean Leaver and his brother Lee Leaver, who was a front-seat passenger in the Probe.
The BMW driver seemed concerned about anyone finding out he had been driving the second car and suggested they should all leave immediately.
They then drove off leaving the injured victims, including the dying Vanessa, who lived at King Street, Glossop, in the wreckage of the Probe.
The court heard that the driver of the BMW, a disqualified driver, had fled abroad. All charges against Hornsby had been dropped.
Dean Leaver, of Woodlands Close, Broadbottom, eventually admitted causing death by dangerous driving on the day he should have stood trial last month.
Lee Leaver, of George's Court, Chestergate, Macclesfield, admitted attempting to pervert the course of justice after changing his story to suggest he did not know who was driving the BMW.
Dean Leaver was jailed for seven years and disqualified from driving for 10 years. Lee Leaver was jailed for 18 months.

In Meet Me at Beachcomber Bay by Jill Mansell, The residents of St. Carys have a gorgeous ocean to enjoy in their backyard, a town full of interesting people to get to know, and like most small towns, plenty of hidden secrets. And it's those secrets that end up creating drama in the lives of a local group of friends and family, setting them on a path where everyone will have to make their own tough personal choices. Not that they haven't already each been through their own predicaments in the past. But this time, the stakes become even higher for some of them.
Ronan's brown eyes glittered. "You know what? It's not easy being rejected."
She patted his arm. "I'm sure you'll survive."
"Tell me, am I still slightly irresistible?"
Clemency paused. "Maybe. A tiny bit."
Ronan broke into a grin. "Phew, thank goodness for that."
Step-sisters Clemency and Belle find themselves at odds over a man, after having made a promise to never let the opposite sex cause a rift between them again. Suave and sexy Sam is moving forward after a recent tragedy shook his whole world. Charming Ronan is struggling for the first time ever with a woman, their wires getting crossed each time he thinks they'll finally have their chance. And that's in addition to his own family issues. Plus, compassionate painter Marina's new life since her divorce is still complicated but is slowly getting better. She hopes. With everyone's lives tangled up with each other, will this motley crew ever wind up with happily-ever-afters all the way around?
'Sometimes, wonderful things did happen, out of the blue and for no apparent reason. And what else could you do but go along with it and just be grateful that the person you loved more than anyone else in the world loved you too?'
Meet Me at Beachcomber Bay was an absolutely charming story by the one and only Jill Mansell. Set in the beautiful (fictional) seaside town of St. Carys in the UK, this book was filled with heart and a whole bunch of comical antics from our eclectic but lovable cast.
'What was happening now, she knew, threatened to bring a whole world of trouble into her carefully mapped out, oh-so-perfect life.'
I had a fantastic time with the latest novel by Jill Mansell, which to me was a combination of women's literature and romantic comedy. This kind of small town storyline, with the characters' lives intersecting and wreaking havoc on each other, is where I think this author truly shines. And I loved the group of people we got to know this time. I pretty much liked all of them immediately, with only one character kind of getting my back up a bit–Belle. But even she had redeeming qualities, with her in-your-face attitude that made me laugh more than it annoyed me. Plus, when we learn of a secret Belle had been keeping towards the end of the book, I think her attitude will make sense to readers and the resolution will seem perfect.
As I've come to love and expect from Mansell, this read like a madcap but heartfelt British soap opera, with plenty of laughs along the way. I liked that each character seemed flawed and real, with their own unique set of circumstances that influenced their actions and decisions. The majority of them, including Sam, Marina, and Clemency, had tragedy or painful losses in their past that had my heart breaking for them. But every character was a fighter/survivor in their own way. And I loved that they drew strength from their friendships as well as from their local beachside community. Ronan particularly was one of my favorite characters and I adored his sense of humor and his love for his entire family.
With an epilogue that had me all misty-eyed and an intricate storyline that continued to build speed as it went along, Meet Me at Beachcomber Bay was a lovely way to spend a few hours. I think this would be a great addition to any reader's summertime must-have-books list.

text: This could be a story about another downtrodden Elkhart County RV supplier that laid off most of its work force and is struggling to stay in business during the economic downturn. Instead, this is an example of how ingenuity and determination created a new product for the Goshen-based company to manufacture during the downturn, thereby allowing some employees to return to work. Decorator Industries has switched gears during the recession, swapping RV window treatments and bedding for shopping bags, totes and trendy purses. Some area retailers plan to stock the bags by the dozens, which means the company hopes to call a couple of dozen laid-off workers back. "We're one local company helping another local company and the economy," said Pam Mitchell, who plans to stock the bags at her Gingerbread Cottage stores in Mishawaka and Elkhart. "They're bringing people back to work to make these bags. How great is that?" Like many RV suppliers and dealers, Decorator Industries started feeling the impact of the sales slump last summer. It merged with Elkhart sister company Specialty Window Coverings to trim costs in the fall, and by Christmas the combined company -- once employing around 200 -- was down to 35 workers. Randy Ferrie, general manager, and Donna Gould, sales manager, decided they did not want to stand by and witness another business closing. The pair brainstormed ideas for a new product that could be developed from their materials and machines. "We have all this fabric that isn't moving, and we have sewing and cutting machines. We wondered, what can we sew? What can we do?" said Gould. "We had to come up with something to keep our company going. Some of our RV customers work one week and are down two. It's very sporadic. Others are not back yet from Christmas break." Then it dawned on her. Gould had received a number of compliments on a sturdy designerlike tote bag she carries while traveling. This bag had been sent from a fabric vendor, and Decorator Industries had a warehouse chock full of fabric. Some shipments from China, she said, could not be stopped before RV orders dramatically dwindled. After sharing the idea with the staff, employees brought various bags and purses from home and started playing with various designs at the Goshen plant. They designed and made prototypes of 10 products, including shopping, tote, and carpet bags as well as purses. Last month, the company began marketing the bags to specialty retailers that see as many tourists as local shoppers, in shopping districts like Shipshewana, restaurants like Das Dutchman Essenhaus in Middlebury, and shopping venues like the Olde Bag Factory in Goshen. With dozens of bags ranging in price from $30 to $35 on order, Decorator Industries has already called back a few laid-off employees to help fulfill orders. "We've brought back three people and our hopes are to bring back a total of 23," said Gould, her voice brimming with excitement about the future. "With all the fabric we have, we could make thousands of bags." Gingerbread Cottage has decided to donate $5 from the sale of every bag to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana. Mitchell admits she copied the idea from Decorator Industries, who is also donating a portion of the proceeds to area food banks. "The community is giving to us, so we need to give back to them," Gould said. And in case the customer who purchases one of these bags has not heard the story, employees affix a tag to each that reads: "The purchase of this bag helps workers keep their jobs in a hard hit area of our economy. Thank you for your support in putting America back to work." Staff writer Heidi Prescott: firstname.lastname@example.com (574) 235-6070


text: How to Start a Project on the Right Track We all want to get our projects off on the right track, but what does that really entail? In Project Insight's How to Start a Project on the Right Track webinar, Diane Buckley, CEO Core Performance Concepts Inc. walks us through some basic statistics on why customers leave and just how often that is related to customer service. Project managers generally own the customer experience and have the most impact on retaining customers. This webinar will help you understand how using a Project Charter can get you started on the right track. Diane takes time to show us how leveraging the Project Charter will: a. Make your clients happier both during the project and with its results b. Get senior management buy in and introduce the whole team c. Help you to control the scope of the project In the PMBOK guide, PMI defines a project charter as "a document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the PM with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities". Some companies try to use the Statement of Work (SOW) as the project charter but while it generally contains some of the information needed for the charter, it usually does not include the purpose of the project. The charter could and should be updated throughout the lifecycle and either sent back out to the entire team so they are aware of the changes or put into a tool where the team is notified of changes to the charter. A Project Charter should contain the following items: 1. Project Description: Including the final product or service. Think of it as what are we doing? 2. Business Justification/Purpose: There is usually a pain point or goal that is being addressed. Think why do we need this? 3. Major Project Components: Include a list of things that will be done. What are the deliverables? 4. Project Objectives: Quantifiable criteria used to measure completion of the project scope. Think the proof, what will you be able to show when you are done. 5. Constraints/Assumptions: Anything holding you back? Any obvious problems you expect to come up? Create a list of known risks. 6. Procurement Items: What needs to be purchased for the project? Software, hardware? 7. Project Team & Stakeholders: Who is involved? 8. Project Support and Authority: Who is in charge? There are as many different Project Charters in use as there are companies using them. Find out if your company has one. If not, you can download a free sample of a Project Charter here. During part two of this PM in Practice Webinar that will be on Wednesday, February 22, 2017, Diane will go into detail on change management and address getting your organization to adopt Project Charters. In summary, the goal of the document is to make sure everyone involved knows the what, why, proof, risks and who of your project and to have a way to communicate with everyone on the project as updates are needed. Because as we all know, things do change! Questions or comments? Feel free to share them below!

I hope everyone has a great weekend planned. I'm crossing my fingers I can spend some quality time in the kitchen in between trying to figure out what to do with our house. We're looking to move, and so lots needs to be planned and considered. At any rate, enjoy a restful two days, and now... how about a High Five for Friday!!!
1. Charley's underground fence was on the blitz earlier in the week, so we had to do the
crate thing until it was fixed. This is Luke being empathetic.
2. Daniel has been in football camp all week. We've put flag football behind us, and it's on
to pads. He. Is. Pumped. (not sure about mom)
3. We can't get enough of Sonic's 1/2 price shakes after 8:00. We have a fantastic location
right across from church... best customer service, ever! We've hit it most Wednesday
nights this summer, usually with several friends to join. So fun! Chocolate-Covered
Strawberry and Coconut Cream Pie are my faves for now.
4. I'm not sure how I didn't know about Wet 'n Wild's Megalast before a month ago. The
top left, Candy-licious, is what I'm wearing now. With the wide pro-brush, it goes on
super-quick and lasts super-long. Way out-performs some of the others I have in my
stash and for only $1.99. I'm looking forward to trying the one on the right, I Need a
Refresh-Mint. (photo by Gorjess Nails)
5. The highlight of the week was this year's Vacation Bible School, Creation. Monday
through Wednesday nights we got to spend valuable time with these sweet children
talking about the wonder of God's fascinating world. The hearts of young ones, so
innocent and open... they teach me lessons daily.
"And then God looked over all that He had made, and He saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:31

For Devout Muslims, Interest Is Forbidden
For immigrants who settle in the U.S., a home purchase is a meaningful step toward showing they're here to stay.
But for devout Muslims, many of whom are recent arrivals from places like the Middle East and South East Asia, buying a home isn't as simple as taking out a mortgage. Islamic law -- known as Shariah -- forbids the primary element of most every loan: interest.

Falkirk kept the squeeze on Rangers at the top of the table, after Alloa put the squeeze one the Bairns – quite literally.
This was a big result at the Indodrill Stadium's tiny pitch, thanks to John Baird's first half strike over the Championship's bottom side.
With the pitch dimensions altered, it wasn't much of a match for BBC Alba viewers, but Falkirk did the business to go 10 games unbeaten in the league and 11 in all competitions.
One of Jack Ross's first moves as Alloa boss was to tighten the Recreation Park pitch by around three metres on each flank. That meant the closest a player could be from defending a corner kick was the edge of the penalty area. His second was to find a replacement for Michael Chopra who broke an ankle on Monday night against Whitehill Welfare.
But the replacement, Michael Duffy flashed a shot wide of the target within 20 seconds.
Blair Alston screwed a strike from similar distance well over on the eighth minute.
Luke Leahy and Craig Sibbald on the left wing were out-doing one another on the trickery front early on but it was through blunt force that the Bairns scored the opener on the quarter hour.
Blair Alston sent a long corner to Leahy on the left and a ball inside to Vaulks allowed the midfielder -- being watched by Sporting Lisbon among other clubs - side-step his marker and fire a trademark piledriver. Andrew McNeil was down quick but could only parry the strike and John Baird followed in to tuck the opener into the net -- his 15th of the season.
He went close on the 29th minute to doubling his tally with a volley on the turn from 16 yards tipped over well by Andrew McNeil. Lee Miller had a shot on the volley from Alston's chipped pass that was blocked by Dougie Hill in the box, but it was all dominant play from the Bairns.
Alloa's first threat since the opening seconds was fired off by Crawford eight minutes before the break. Former Bairn Iain Flannigan -- blink and you'll have missed his spell in the navy blue -- had made good progress down the left for Alloa and cut back for the former Rangers man to shoot low at Danny Rogers' goal but the loan keeper blocked with his arm.
The Bairns were in complete control of the first half, but alloa's half-time tactical switch from their ex-Bairn in charge pushed McAusland up alongside Duffy.
On 57 minutes after a period of Alloa attack Paul Watson clipped a goal-bound shot from sub McAusland over the crossbar and again the Bairns cleared.
It was far from a classic for the BBC Alba viewers in the second half but Blair Alston almost swept a cross in to the net from the by-line on 70 minutes.
Alston was unfortunate not to get a penalty when he blasted the ball at Robbie Crawford's body and it struck his arm but John McKendrick dismessed the claims.
Late sub Kevin O'Hara saw his attempts for a first goal thwarted by the back of McKenna's head and the subsequent overhead kick from Will Vaulks went straight to McNeil.
Alloa: McNeil, Doyle, McKenna, Hill, Hamilton, McAusland, O'Brien, Flannigan, McManus (Ferns 56), Crawford, Duffy. Subs: Reintam, Hetherington, Hoggan, Williams, Paun, Crawford.
Falkirk: Rogers, Leahy, Muirhead, Watson, Vaulks, Alston, Baird (O'Hara 87), Sibbald (Smith 73), Kerr, Grant, Miller. Subs: Shepherd, Sinnamon, McCracken, Bowman, Blair.

Continuing the trek home from 4 Corners Monument, I stabilized the camera for this long exposure on my tripod. This was taken at a pull out area in a high mountain pass (over 9000 feet above sea level) in the Rio Grande National Forest, near Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It had snowed the night before and that made a really nice shine of the moonlight.

Thornborough Pre-School is officially open in its new premises on the Sir Harry Moore playing field in the village.
The pre-school's faced closure when its previous home, in a 'Horsa' hut at the back of the village school, was officially decommissioned, but a deal was agreed between village organisations allowing the pre-school to lease the sports field building and adapt it for multiple uses.
The sports pavilion has been revamped adding a secure outdoor play area, safety features and updating the interior. Open mornings are to be held on October 8, 9am until noon and October 10, from 10am until noon.
Jennie Somerset, pre-school leader, said: "It's very exciting to be able to welcome children into our new premises. We have more space, better facilities and a wonderful outlook over the sports field. We have been able to extend our hours and are now open from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday during term time. We have also received a £900 grant from Aylesbury Vale Community Chest and a grant from Awards For All, which have helped us to refresh our resources with a focus on outdoor play.
"The move wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated staff and management committee and the continuing support of Thornborough Parish Council and Thornborough Cricket Club."
A small, friendly setting, Thornborough Pre-School runs firmly on the basis of learning through play. Its philosophy is reflected in the team's focus on messy play, outdoor activities and regular walks around the village and trips on the public bus into Buckingham.
This approach has proved popular with parents looking for a pre-school with a relaxed, traditional structure where children are at the centre. Thornborough Pre-School feeds into the Ofsted rated outstanding Thornborough Infant School which is also holding an open morning on October 8, from 9am until noon.

Hi A.J.!
Happy New Year to you and yours. Thanks for your efforts for the book version on behalf of those who aren't "tech-savvy". I'm looking forward to reading it.
As for driving in snow - just be sure your tires are properly inflated and have deep enough treads. If necessary, put some extra weight in the trunk (I recommend a bag of salt and sand), and a shovel to help dig out of any drifts and/or spread the salt.
Allow extra time for trips, and leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front. Most accidents occur at intersections and when someone wants to make a sudden turn, so be cautious and you should be okay. On a lighter note, if you make it though this winter, you will qualify for being a "Hivernant"!
I was sorry to see that the "Blasthof Blog" had such a short run. I really enjoyed it.
Good luck with the new troopies. Snap a few photos when the boys are ready for their first review.

Hi Martin, a Happy New Year to you and yours too! =)
Thanks for the advice. I'll put it into practice. We have been snowed-in today, but no-one is going anywhere until tomorrow at the earliest. "Hivernant!" That's a splendid title!
I'll be sure to post pics of the painting process when I get down to working on the figures.

Netherwing Exalted! - Exalted in Screenshoots
Rescued from Illidan Stormrage wrath and a Epic Dragonflight to Shattrath.
Quest Complete. You get to pick your own companion Netherwing Drake.
Epic Reins. Its not T4 from Karazhan as I have yet to go there. But its my Epic with my own effort and time. I put my ass into getting the job done and that's better than sitting around and complaining just why you can't put the effort in yourself to get one if you want or can't afford 300 riding skills necessaryto get there. Its all up to you and your efforts.
A Tank and his new Mount. A Main Tank should have first class transportation. Well for me thats the way I roll.
This one screenshot is thanks to HolyWarrior a reader here, I kept my word. So I went and sat on the Flight Master at Shattrath. LOL. Was funny to watch people try to click on the Flight Master while I sat on him. Was FUN! Thanks for the tip HolyWarrior.
First Flight of my new Epic Onyx Netherwing Drake. It may not be faster than my other Epic Windrider Mount at 280% speed. But its a unique Mount and it stands out among the crowd. I went for a unique color. Almost everyone I see has some shade of a blue mount.
Zoom Zoom Zoom. Taking my new ride for a spin around the block. Mission Accepted, Mission Accomplished!

Major gratz on your new dragon. I'm only about 2k short of my new blazing fast chopper.
Even though I wouldn't have much use for the mount, the quests sound like a blast.
Don't be too hard on your slower flying comrades. Alchemy is one of the best money making professions out there.

@ Honors you will get there soon :)
@Horns. Yes took 6 Days or doing all the daily quests + a Heck of a lot of consistent Egg Hunting. Getting to Honored & Revered fast made a big difference as you get more quests at each level.
I've hear of players doing it much faster. I would guess on a very young server and just being nuts about it doing it in less time. Was always competition to find the eggs for 250 reps each turn in.
- December 14, 2007 at 11:13 AM
- HolyWarrior said...
6 days is do-able, I took 2-3 weeks just with the dailies, it's all down to how many eggs you can find. I probably handed in 4 eggs the whole time.
Good choice, I went for the Onyx one too :)
Galo, I wish I could take credit for the flightmaster joke, but 'twas not I (unless i was very drunk when I posted) but thanks for the link anyway!! I have also read that tip on another pally blog that we probably share in our "Blogs to Read" list.
Big Gratz !

Rainwise – Changing Landscapes and Behaviours
Rainwise – Northumbrian Water's surface water management programme was established to address the goal of reducing the risk of future flooding to 7,200 properties across the North East of England by the end of 2020. It is a proactive approach to flooding – working in collaboration with stakeholders and local communities.
Following the flooding event in June 2012, when Tyneside received over 3-inches of rain in just over an hour, a pilot 'Tyneside Sustainable Sewerage Study' was set up – a national first where Northumbrian Water joined forces with other risk management authorities to share information, find benefits and identify projects to construct together to deal with catchment wide flooding mechanisms.
The principles of partnership working were expanded across the North East to create the Northumbria Integrated Drainage Partnership (NIDP). This provides a framework for multiple agencies to look for the best and most sustainable solutions to flooding and allows costs & benefits to be better understood and prioritized on a like-for-like basis.
The partnership projects share common characteristics and themes. They addressed catchment wide flooding and flow management, valuing SuDS and natural systems. All projects include scenarios which no single agency could have addressed alone or without detrimental effects to others. They have all been delivered with capital efficiency to the parties, primarily through jointly sourcing engineering consultants and contractors.
A key message of Rainwise is to raise awareness of SuDS and encourage people to make changes around their home that reduce the amount of water entering the sewer. By taking action communities can collectively affect their own resilience to future flooding. Local communities are involved in the planning stages of projects allowing better information and better solutions, providing context sensitive designs which are right for the business and the community.

The Theoretical Maximum Throughput Calculation for the IEEE802.11g Standard
Alex V. Barbosa, Marcos F. Caetano, Jacir L. Bordim
Vol. 11 No. 4 pp. 136-143
Estimating the throughput of a WiFi connection can be quite complex, even when considering simple scenarios. Indeed, the varying number of parameters specified in the standards makes it hard to understand their impact in terms of delay and throughput. The main contribution of this work is to present a scheme to compute the exact maximum throughput for an IEEE802.11g network. The proposed scheme incorporates all the timings and settings, which allow one to calculate the throughput for different channel spacing and modulation techniques specified in the standard. Experimental and simulated results show the accuracy of the proposed scheme.
