Hammock Tree Straps
Outdoor activities are chosen by many people to enjoy their weekends and holidays. Enjoying the beauty of nature, inhaling the fresh air, and staying away from the business of a city for a while can be a great way to enjoy your vacation. However, don't forget to bring the necessary equipment to enjoy your vacation. One of the most important pieces of outdoor equipment that will ensure your coziness in the wild is a hammock. However, there are several things that you need to know about a hammock before you choose to buy one. It's important for you to know about several considerations before you buy a hammock, so you can buy the best hammock tree straps that you can get.The hammock flexibility
The more flexible your hammock is, the easier it is for you to adjust it. Make sure that you only choose a high-quality hammock, in order to get the best flexibility. You definitely don't want to buy a hammock which will be ripped when you're trying to stretch it. So, before you choose to buy one, you need to learn more about its flexibility level first. You can ask about it at the store, or simply read the reviews of its previous buyers on the internet as well.
Its durability
When you are buying outdoor equipment it is important to not buy the cheapest option, especially the ones without the decent quality and reputation. Cheap and non-reputable brands of outdoor products do not care about quality craftsmanship and durability. Spending more now on a more durable product with good craftsmanship will ensure your hammock lasts for many seasons, and improve its overall value. A poor quality hammock will require you to purchase a new one much sooner and could break while in use at your campsite.
The strap's strength
Aside from the strength of the hammock itself, the strength of the straps needs to be considered as well. It is vital, It does not matter how amazing the quality of your hammock is, if you have poor quality straps they may not be able to support your weight. So, the next time you're looking to buy a hammock, make sure that the hammock is strong but also its straps are strong enough to support your weight while you're lying on it.
Consider your budget as well
If you've got a limited budget look carefully at reviews and purchase the best-reviewed hammock you can afford. Your goal should be to purchase a good quality hammock that is comfortable, durable, and will last several seasons. Aside from getting the decent quality, buying the best reviewed hammock within your price range can also maximize your budget utilization as well. So, make sure that you're always choosing at least a decent quality hammock, in order to get the finest hammock which you can buy with your current budget right now.

Hungary has also made strides in the right direction, choosing to follow the example of France in its electoral reform prior to its April 6 parliamentary elections.
2014. március 26. 19:49
A similar situation can be found in Hungary, where firebrand Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is set to run for re-election on April 6 under a new electoral law that has much in common with Renzi's reform.
2014. március 25. 11:17
Two stories, two political scandals. The web of old Socialist Party-affiliated networks has emerged again to remind the Hungarian voter of those years that set the stage for the disastrous defeat of the Socialists and Liberals in 2010. Emerging now just a few weeks before the election, these latest controversies might be a big step for the Left - toward a second, terrible defeat. Hungary really deserves more, a better political opposition that can win voter trust.

How Hungary went from having one of the most admired legal systems in the world to the most worrying symbol of democratic decline in Europe.
2014. március 13. 12:40
The system has the potential to squeeze Hungary's far right out of the political game by allowing smaller minority parties and independent candidates an opportunity to gain seats in the Parliament.
2014. március 10. 10:34
Voices of the Euro-pundit blogosphere have argued that the new electoral system is disproportionately skewed in Orbán's favor, but are such claims true?

The world needs a better understanding of Central Europe — and for that to happen Central Europe needs a better understanding of itself.

The active participation and even cooperation of Hungarian political, military, and police leaders in this dark time is undeniable; as is the reality of German pressure and occupation.

So we're told that it's a Hungarian translation of an article reportedly written by Kim Lane Scheppele – part one of five! – that appeared on a prestigious blog on The New York Times.

The whole of the West has to understand that Central and Eastern Europe are lost in the woods, but after all, the differences between Anglo-American liberal conservatism and Hungarian conservatism have been exaggerated, says John O'Sullivan. The British commentator and editor, and former advisor to Margaret Thatcher, moved to Hungary to launch the Danube Institute in Budapest. The new think tank promotes conservativism and classical liberalism. We asked him and his colleauge Gerald Frost about the goals of the Danube Institute.

Hungary will hold parliamentary elections April 6, and there's a lot of talk out there about the new electoral system, some of it critical. I think you should get the factsand decide for yourself.
2014. január 29. 16:59
Viktor Orbán is one of the most debated figures of contemporary European politics.
2014. január 16. 13:03
Once again, we find the good old, critical intellectuals lighting the way for a younger generation of left-liberal politicians. This year's election will show whether our renowned, leftist intellectuals or the right-wing Fidesz machine knows more about the thoughts, needs and wishes of Hungarians, and furthermore, about Hungary itself.

By Sam Baker – published in The Hill "Heath Watch" 10/12/12
Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.) did not appreciate Paul Ryan calling him a supporter of the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan during Thursday's vice presidential debate.
Ryan mentioned his work with Wyden to argue that his Medicare proposal could garner bipartisan support in Congress. Romney and Ryan's plan is based on the proposal that Ryan and Wyden released earlier this year — over strong complaints from Wyden's fellow Democrats.

Well here we are, flying through the program and only two weeks away from a break! We have now completed half of our clinical rotations for Med/Surg, and only have 4, 12 hour shifts left. Though I am thoroughly exhausted getting up to start a 12 hour shift, arriving at the hospital at 6:30 is accompanied by a beautiful Colorado site…
As part of the Medical/Surgical experience, we all get to spend a day following a patient through pre-op, the operating room, and then post-op. I was able to see a lumbar spinal fusion, with some of the most impressive technology used. The surgeon was able to take tissue from the patient and create a graft right there in the OR to promote bone growth from his own cells! The surgery was exciting to watch, but it was also great to see the various roles a nurse can have in the acute care setting. It has also been amazing to see the Air Life team arriving and departing feet from where I park every day! In the excitement of taking a picture with one of my classmates in front of the helicopter, the picture was deleted!
In between the hustle and bustle of the long days and many hours of studying, I have continued to enjoy the beautiful weather with a few hikes here and there. One of our favorite spots to hit up is Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Enough about me…I am excited to welcome all the interviewees for the January start! You have made it this far in the process, now just be yourself and let everyone know why you chose Regis. I understand that a few people posted some questions on Brett's blog, and I am here to offer my best advice. There was interest in the type of questions asked during the interview… several questions that stood out in my mind were…Why did you choose nursing? Why did you pick Regis? What type of support system do you have/coping mechanisms? What do you think you can contribute to the Regis community? Where do you see yourself in five years, and ten years? It is important for the interviewers to know that you understand the Regis Jesuit mission, and that you have the want and support to be an active member of the Regis nursing community!
Another question that was brought up was about having time to work in travel to visit significant others. I can say that the first 10-15 weeks have been fairly busy…the program is a little front loaded. However, with that being said, if you have good time management and the motivation to study during your trips, it has been very feasible for students to travel over the weekends. For the May start date, we have had just about every Friday off, and because of holidays we have had a few 4 day weekends. Not to mention the upcoming week off to recover from the first 15 weeks, and then a long break over the holidays!
I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck with interviews, I will be cheering for you all!

Online news has grown in the past few decades, from a fringe afterthought for major news organisations, to the primary way that younger generations consume media in the digital age. Alongside this explosive growth has been the emergence of sites which mock the news that we consume daily. Some of these so-called satirical news site are now as popular, if now more popular than real news networks.
Fake satire stories have caused scares and panic solely because they were mistaken for real news.
These sites range from large text-based 'traditional' satire sites, such as The Onion and The Daily Currant to video based offerings such as The Daily Show, and even meta-parodies of new media such as Clickhole. The problem with such proliferation of news satire is that it is often mistaken for real news, especially on social media. There have been numerous cases where fake satire stories have caused scares and panic solely because they were mistaken for real news.
Now Facebook is coming to the rescue, with a system it believes will clear up this kind of satire-confusion for good. To do this, they plan to implement a 'satire' tag to sit alongside satirical news articles when they are published to the network, alerting a users to the less-than-factual content of the link. This new feature is still in a testing phase, although it has been seen in the News Feed of significant numbers of users.
Anyone else seeing these [SATIRE] tags on Facebook related stories? pic.twitter.com/eGzzwROL6j
— luke oneil (@lukeoneil47) August 16, 2014
But is Facebook right in thinking that we are really to dumb to identify satire? We would like to think that most people have a fairly good grip on what is going on the in the world around them, but this is sadly not the case. Rather, the average viewer would probably not be able to identify a satirical article from a factual one if they were both presented within an environment commonly associated with factuality or reliability.
This is made worse by the fact that many satire websites aim to write headlines that are just plausible enough that they might be true, so as to invite readers to make sure that these articles really are satire. In addition, the news world itself is full of headlines and stories, which are themselves so crazy or unbelievable that they would be considered satire, if they weren't actually true. This is so common in fact that users on Reddit even developed a subreddit called /r/nottheonion to post these kind of unbelievable, but yet real stories.
Who knows, maybe Facebook is actually doing the world a service?

A Scalby healthy eating group has banded together to help a member and her friend raise money for a clarity scanner for Hull Royal Infirmary.
Judy Woodroffe joined the Scalby Slimming World group in January 2014. The group is now working together to collect handbags and scarves to sell at a fundraising auction event to raise money for a cause close to Judy's heart.
In May, a routine mammogram revealed a lump in her breast and Judy had to undergone surgery in Scarborough Hospital. She then travelled to Hull Royal Infirmary every day for three weeks for a course of radiotherapy.
While having this treatment she met a woman named Liz who was going through the same procedures.
Judy said: "Her diagnosis was complicated because there was no clarity scanner. Because she couldn't have this scan she had to have a deep biopsy which left her very bruised and very sore.
"She had been talking to the nurses in Hull and they don't have a breast clarity scanner. She decided to set up and fundraise."
So far the group now has 167 handbags and almost 200 scarves. Judy added: "We have had a fantastic response."
Donate your handbags and scarves to Scalby Methodist Church, on Wednesdays at 7pm. or The Jubilee Hall, Cayton on Tuesdays at 5pm or 7pm.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Maple Cream Cheese Filling – I have to sheepishly admit that I missed out during peak pumpkin season this past fall. There haven't been too many pumpkin desserts that I've liked so I was weary about trying these whoopie pies that I was seeing everywhere. :/
When James's co-workers asked for whoopie pies, I thought I would finally try these, even though it's not exactly high time for pumpkin. I could have kicked myself after they were done! I couldn't believe I didn't make them this past fall. They are so comforting! The warm spices and pumpkin flavor are perfect even on a winter day. And the maple cream cheese filling? To die for! Sweet and tangy – perfect.
I might have missed out on these this past fall but I have them in my repertoire now and I will definitely be making them in the future.
I also submitted these at Sweets for a Saturday. Check it out!

SCHILLER PARK SCHOOL DISTRICT 81 BOARD MEETING REPORT January, 2013
Payment of Bills
• The Board authorized the payment of bills in the amount of $157,355.42.
• The Board approved payroll in the amount of $824,751.21.
Public Participation
• Resident Dolly Joseph inquired if the District 81 vehicles driven by employees were for personal use and asked why the employees drive the vehicles home. Board President Mary Ann Desecki responded that District 81 vehicles are not for personal use, and that the two employees who drive the vehicles home are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. President Desecki stated that the District needs to insure the safety of the buildings in conditions of snow storms, floods, and in emergencies.
• Annual Dr. Seuss night at Kennedy School on Thursday, February 28 at 6:00 pm. Volunteers are needed. Contact Ms. Michelle Morgan at Kennedy School for further information. .
• Resident Roy F. McCampbell stated that perspective has been lost at the Board of Education meetings. Mr. McCampbell stated that we have a wonderful education system that continues to improve. Mr. McCampbell also stated that as we move forward toward the election, the Board of Education needs to have a better understanding of the community. Mr. McCampell stated that we have a great education system because historically the community and district have rubbed elbows.
• Resident Tina Ewanio questioned the action item on the agenda to approve the contract of the Director of Buildings and Grounds. Mrs. Ewanio inquired if this is a new contract, a renewal of contract, or for a new employee, and why a contract is necessary. Mrs. Ewanio also asked if the contract was being written due to the recent questioning about employee-driven vehicles. President Mary Ann Desecki responded that the contract was for the current Director of Building and Grounds, and that it was an
oversight that the Board was correcting for not having the Director of Building and Grounds under contract previously. President Desecki responded that the contract has nothing to do with the inquiries regarding employee-driven vehicles.
• Resident Kathleen Janis stated that transparency in governance helps with understanding what is taking place at the board meetings. Ms. Janis requested a brief explanation of the policies and bills before voting to give the community a better understanding of what goes on at the board meetings.
• Teacher Kitch Gorzynski congratulated the District 81 teachers who recently received the National Board Certification, noting that now District 81 has the distinction of employing six National Board Certified teachers. Mrs. Gorzynski stated that the rigorous process includes an estimated 500 hours of work and is the highest level of certification in the United States. Mrs. Gorzynski stated that the two teachers who were being recognized at the evening's meeting, Ms. Barbara Folan and Ms. Louise Stompor, passed the certification review on the first round, when the typical passing rate is 30%.
• Teacher Louise Stompor congratulated Dr. Kimberly Boryszewski on the extension of her contract as Superintendent of Schools, on behalf of the SPEA. Ms. Stompor also congratulated the Board on behalf of the SPEA for their decision to continue moving School District 81 in a positive direction.
• Teacher DJ Narvaez reported that the second annual Project HeartWell 5K Run/Walk event raised a total of $5,000, which is an increase of $1,000 from last year's proceeds. The proceeds will benefit: St. Beatrice Catholic Church, Resurrection Lutheran Church, Gift from the Heart, Partners in Mission, and grants for Kennedy, Washington, and Lincoln schools.
• Resident Andrea Jaffray requested consideration for an issue related to her child who attends Kennedy School. Dr. Boryszewski responded that a meeting between herself, Ms. Jaffray, and Principal Kartsimas would be scheduled to discuss the issue.
• Dr. Boryszewski thanked Detective Tom Henn District 81 School Resource Officer, and Dr. Kristin Kopta, Principal of Washington School, for their quick response to a situation.
Examples of Excellence
• Dr. Boryszewski congratulated Ms. Barbara Folan and Ms. Louise Stompor, teachers at Washington School for obtaining the National Board Certification for Teaching Standards.
• Dr. Boryszewski congratulated Dr. Kristin Kopta for completing her Doctorate of Education degree. Dr. Boryszewski stated that it is an honor to employ these educators, who attain such a high level of accomplishment and professional growth.
• President Desecki thanked Dr. Kopta, Ms. Folan and Ms. Stompor on behalf of the school board, stating that it is beneficial to the school district that these individuals have achieved these accomplishments.
Old Business – Information

Discussion: Member David Stachura asked if the Director of Building and Grounds was currently taking courses, how many courses he has taken so far, how long he has been working for the district, and asked why he had not taken courses previously. Dr. Boryszewski responded that the employee had taken six courses since September of 2012, which was upon her request, that the employee has worked for the district for 22 years, and that she could not speak to the employee's coursework history
prior to her taking the superintendent position. Dr. Boryszewski stated that this coursework has proven to be an immediate benefit to the district.

Soga held fram, her er hefte nummer to.
What a day, what a LOVELY DAY! A month after issue 1, here's the next one. Doing this comic daily is a big pleasure, but also a pretty insane ride. Some days I'm so behind schedule that I just want to forget about the whole thing. All your feedback (offline and online) keeps me going. And of course my little group of Patreons, remember that you can also be one.
The cover this time is a tribute to the amazing movie Mad Max Fury Road which I just watched (twice).
Since JensK #1, I attended the second Oslo 24H Challenge, my 24 hour comic Camera Obscura can be ordered in physical version from www.jensk.no. It can be read as a sequel to the comic Cabin Fever (which can be bought at the same site).
JensK #2 is the smartphone-free issue. I wanted to see how the main character would manage without his smartphone for a month. It turned out to get pretty ugly. He also gets two strong antagonists, the bird and the big tech guy. (Love that phone repair dude, he should definitely get a comeback one day.)

A 2-2 draw with 10-man Beaconsfield SYCOB earned Daventry Town their first point for almost a month but more importantly ensured that Communications Park will continue to host Southern League football for a sixth season.
Bottom two clubs North Greenford United and AFC Hayes both lost at the weekend to remain 13 points adrift of the Purple Army with only four Central Division fixtures still to be completed.
That meant Town's Easter Monday game against Bedworth United was of academic interest only.
The same will be true of forthcoming games against Uxbridge, local rivals Rugby Town and Godalming.
A huge turnover in players since the money dried up before Christmas has always meant that step four survival was the main object of the exercise. In that sense it's a case of mission accomplished.
Even so loyal fans will be hard-pressed to work out just how chairman Iain Humphrey is going to keep to his promise of spearheading a genuine promotion challenge in the 2015/16 campaign.
By then Kettering Town will have been elevated to the Southern League Premier Division alongside the winners of the play-offs which could boil down to a straight fight between Royston and Barton Rovers.
Both Burnham and Arlesey look to be heading back down to the Central Division next season with Banbury United allocated to the parallel South and West Division.
Moving in the opposite direction will be UCL champions-elect AFC Rushden and Diamonds, not to mention Spartan South Midlands League top dogs Kings Langley.
Rushden carry the prospect of big attendances of Kettering proportions as well as a chance to see old Daventry favourites such as Liam Dolman, Adam Confue and Russell Dunkley.
Choosing a Daventry player-of-the-year is no easy matter as only a handful of players have remained with the Browns Road club from start to finish following manager Darran Foster's mid-season departure.
The King brothers, Aaron and Simon, have recently shared six goals in eight games but Kieran Fitzgerald remains the club's top scorer on six despite departing to St.Ives in November.
A case could be made out for Anthony O'Connor and even James Tricks if for no other reason than he travels from Kings Lynn once or twice a week to play in purple.
Then there is 37-year-old central defender Arron Parkinson who did not rejoin the club from Rushden until the New Year. The back four looks a great deal more solid when he is not on the injury list.
In the end though it surely boils down to a contest involving the three players who have remained loyal to Daventry throughout a season of turmoil. Step forward Ashley Deeney, Ricky Hill and Ryan Howell.
Ever-present captain Deeney has never let the side down and gets my vote on account of his consistency at a time when the starting line-up has varied alarmingly from week to week.

We love hip hop because this genre doesn't require us to learn music theory or whatnot to appreciate it; you just need to love the groove. But while hip hop production is not as easy as frying pancakes, you too can make your own song by rapping over some buttery smooth beat. Ready to start making your own hip hop track? Here is a list of the best websites to get your beats and start wording up in no time.
8. Primebeats.com
Browse Primebeats.com has a long catalogue of slick beats, where you can choose if you want some East Coast gangsta, Urban Dance, Trap, or any other type of hiphop feel to your liking. Primebeats.com also has a blog that you can browse to get the feel of their site. According to their site, their beats are primed for artists like "Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, D12, Travis Porter, G-Unit, DJ Khaled, Three Six Mafia, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Wu-Tang Clan and many more." Don't hesitate to put yourself in that list.
7. Hiphopbeatfactory.com
Hiphopbeatfactory.com has an awful lot of beats that will help you in getting that perfect track for your song. You can choose the genre of the beat you wanted (East Coast, Dirty South, etc), hover around the webmasters and check out their beats, and even set a transaction using only your smartphone.
6. Hiphopcrashbeats.com
Hiphopcrashbeats.com boasts a talented roster of producers, an increasing number of exquisite beats, and a reliable paying system. You can visit their site and check out their testimonials page, or you can hover around their djs' profiles. Listen to some sample tracks in their slick webpage so you can get a taste of the beats you may get.
5. MyBeatshop.com
Much like the previous two sites, MyBeatshop has a number of producers sharing their beats in the site. You can create an account and log in to their awesome array of beats of varying moods, samples, and styles.
4. Worldhiphopbeats.com
There is so much to be checked out at worldhiphopbeats.com, encompassing genres from funk to glitch-hop. For free. While their roster of producers are also producing a ton of quality beats that you can buy, their free beats are also worth listening, perfect if you plan on knowing your producer's style first before settling on a set of beats and samples.
3. Youtube.com
Oops, are we seeing Youtube.com again on this list? You bet you are. Youtube is undeniably one of the largest social networking sites available for any aspiring artist. While there are certainly a ton load of crap being chugged out by a lot of users in Youtube, looking for genuine networks and real talent in this wide world of videos is bound to result in big discoveries. Push your way around and look for great beats. The comments section will surely help you in knowing what is nope and what is dope.
2. Dopetracks.com
Speaking of what is dope, Dopetracks.com is awesome, not only because it succeeds in fulfilling its taglines, "Record, Collab, Compete" but also because its community is so large and dynamic that it could keep you busy for life. You can post your own records and let other users rate your tracks, or you can team up with other producers to complete your unfinished song. You can also meet lot of talented hip hop enthusiasts and check out their sites. Or of course, you can post your own beats and revel in your own awesomeness.
1. Soundclick.com, Soundcloud.com
These sites are more social networking sites than beat selling sites, but being in one of the largest music cloud sharing sites is a large plus for any aspiring artists in this age of web technology. Many fellow hip hop artists are are inching their way in Sounclick.com, Soundcloud.com, and other similar sites, and you are sure to find a lot of gems there. Also, many artists have links to their blogs and pages their, so you can check out more of them from there. Of course you need to contact the beat makers in case you are interested in using/buying their beat.
So, what do you think of our list? Do you not agree with some of websites we included in our list? Can you suggest a couple of websites worth checking out to be included in our list? Let's talk about it in the comments section and see what we can do about that. 'Til the next list, see you all folks.

Well hello there!
Hi everyone!
It's the last Friday of the month (Like seriously??) Like duh. Next week Friday is the beginning of Easter.
Let's start our date. Grab your kelewele.
Before March began, my roommate and I went to the beach to throw away our sorrows into the sea, literally. If we could really throw our sorrows into the sea, don't you think it would bring it back? One day, last year, after writing a tedious paper, two of my friends and I went to the beach, and while admiring little crabs making holes, hiding from us as soon as we approach them, the waves came to where I stood and kidnapped one of my slippers without warning. OMG! It was horrifying. How would I walk back to my room? But it brought it back, delivering it at another part of the beach. Yeah, right, sea. I guess you don't like the taste of my slippers. So, I think if you throw your sorrows into the sea, it would bring them back. (Whisper: I think you should bury them. Don't you think so?)
This month has been full of bitter things in my mouth. I was under herbal medication to kill all the malaria parasites I was diagnosed of last year December. I don't think you want to know the number of mosquito parasites eating my red blood cells. It's unbelievable. You can ask my roommate.
The month of March is mostly about women. 8th March was International Women 's day and I honoured Monique Coleman on my instagram page. I believe in her. To me, she's inspiring and a MO'tivator . She was Taylor McKessie in High School Musical 1-3, remember? She is the founder of the GimmeMo Foundation, which talks about the youth.
Who is ready for Easter? I am! I'm seriously counting down to Easter, which is less than a week away to get ready. How many days more?
After I wrote my journey in poetry post last Saturday, I decided to see whether I can write poems that rhymes. "But I'm not good at rhyming," I said to myself. "You should try it" I felt within me. So I began and after writing, felt it was not making sense. Please judge for me.
The sinner pulled the trigger
Then it laid down a figure
The bitter bile does not linger
But he's now a killer
Could you be my bad guy
So that my eyes would be fixed to the sky
Though I'm shy, I'll feel high
Then the spy within would cry
And you don't need to ask why
NB. Please don't laugh.
We are celebrating our department week, and we are having mad fun.
That's it for today's kelewele date .
Let's continue on social media
Stay sweet!!!

Those Who Can, Do. Those Who Can't...
Those words, with an additional piquant phrase about those who teach "gym," were quite often expressed by unhappy students during my now distant high school days. How odd then to just have realized now that those words apply to me. And, moreover, that they are not necessarily an insult at all.
Let me explain...
Back in about 2000 the CEO of Ducati SpA, the famed Italian motorcycle builder, wrote me a personal letter thanking me for an article I'd researched (with my wife, Jan's, help), written and published on the web. In that letter he wrote that he'd passed that article along to the company's engineering department where he thought it would be of much value.
My response was basically one of amazement. In a word, "Whaaa?"
A short time later the company approached me again, this time the editor of their website, asking me to write a regular column for the site and also to make contributions to several of their up coming print publications.
Those things I gladly agreed to do. But, again, with more than a bit of amazement at the request.
In a short time -- again, so oddly to me -- my name and countenance was regularly being featured on their home page, and this led to my becoming a bit of celebrity among the "Ducatisti" as Ducati enthusiasts are known.
In 2002 I was invited to be the company's guest at s large international gathering called "World Ducati Week" being held in Misano, Italy, and while there I was from time to time called over the PA system to come to the Ducati Com tent -- often because someone wanted to have their photo taken with me.
Again my response was "Whaaa?"
Of course all this was a lot of fun. But it also seemed so odd to me! Here were people -- some of whom had skills and experience far beyond my own -- looking to be with me; to ask me questions. And then seemingly hanging on every word I spoke.
Why was this, I again wondered. What was going on?
And now, more recently, something similar has started happening among some in the musical community.
Yes, I am a musician. I've played guitar and several other instruments for over fifty years. But in truth my playing is, in my own judgment, at best mediocre. Yet my written expressions are coming to be seen as something of some value -- something to be shared -- my opinions of some special worth. And this in many cases by musicians with far greater gifts and abilities than I myself possess.
Again, I had to ask, what is happening here?
The answer, I have come to realize, is found in the quote that introduced this piece. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
And with that realization has come the understanding that the ability to teach is itself its own gift.
Many of the most gifted people in every field do the wonderful things they do with little conscious understanding of what it is they are doing. They sense what needs to be done and simply do it, often with a grace and ease that is completely out of reach of the rest of us.
Ask such a gifted person how they do what they do and they will often just shrug their shoulders or give a look that suggests they don't even understand why they'd be asked the question. "Why, can't everyone?" they seem to say.
It doesn't matter what the field is. For some it's art, music or dance. For others it's in science or technology. For yet others it's a special skill in sports. Or management and group organization. For them the mastery of such things just comes naturally and with ease.
And for us?
For us even attempting to master such things is, and likely forever will be, an ongoing struggle.
And it is for this reason we also have come to value people who can teach. People who, though they themselves may not possess those special gifts, can understand them and help explain and give meaning to them.
So, yes, those who can, do. And those who can't?
They teach. There's nothing bad about that gift either.

Jo Goldsworthy from Stonehaven was the Girvan Flower clubs demonstrator at the penultimate Demonstration of the season, the title of her Demonstration was "Spring into Summer".
Jo invited the audience to join with her in using their imagination for her first arrangement depicting Spring Cleaning, her clever choice of flowers being Alstromeria, Eustoma, Freesia, and stunning Yellow Roses, whilst entertaining everyone as she went along with stories about her attempts at spring cleaning. She did various beautiful arrangements leading us into Summer with her wonderful Garden Party Hat of Cymbidium Orchids, Roses and Pink Pearl Kangaroo Paw. Jo's final arrangement was a West Coast sunset, featuring Pincushion Protea, Kangaroo Paw, Anthurium, Roses and Alstromeria.
NAFAS annual members promotion event takes place over weekend 1st May and this year as part of this, Girvan Flower Club are presenting a Flower Festival entitled "Floral Medley" in "The McKechnie" Dalrymple Street, on Friday 1st May from 12 noon until 4pm and Saturday 2nd May 10am until 4 pm.

Relationship between Anti-Ds-DNA Antibodies and Abnormal Kidney Function Tests in Patients with Lupus Nephritis
Falah Salim Manhal and Hawra'a Adnan Mohammed
DOI : 10.3844/ajisp.2016.37.42
American Journal of Immunology
Volume 12, Issue 2
Pages 37-42
The majority of patients with Lupus Nephritis (LN) usually have abnormal findings of kidney function tests. Severe glomerular damage may be observed in some patients and requires prompt therapeutic interventions. High titer levels of anti-ds-DNA antibodies may correlate to some extent with disease activity in lupus nephritis patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anti-ds-DNA antibody titers and abnormal kidney function tests in patients with lupus nephritis. A total of seventy patients with lupus nephritis and fifty healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Blood samples were collected and labeled from study patients and controls for certain hematological, biochemical and immunological investigations. Anti-ds-DNA antibodies were tested by using IgG-ELISA test. It was shown that 74% of lupus nephritis patients showed positive results for anti-ds-DNA antibodies in their serum specimens (p-value <0.01). Sensitivity and specificity of the anti-ds-DNA antibody test for the diagnosis of lupus nephritis were 74 and 100%, respectively. Anaemia, hypoalbuminemia, fasting hyperglycemia and elevated blood urea nitrogen were significantly associated with lupus nephritis activity. Further studies are required to study genomic and unprecedented biomarkers associated with anti-ds-DNA antibodies in patients with lupus nephritis to develop our perception of this autoimmune disease.

Showering with your significant other: if you've never tried it before and you're thinking about it… THINK AGAIN!
Yes, you guys are in love, you want to explore new things with your partner, but keep it in the bedroom.
You want proof? Fine. Here are 12 reasons why you and your special someone should NOT shower together.
1. Wet and wild shower s*x
While it sounds good on paper, realistically it's not all it's cracked up to be. Just imagine this: wet bodies, wet tiles, weird positions.
That's one recipe that would take you straight to the emergency room.
2. Shower time = Solo time
There are a lot of us who LOVE shower time. It's a personal space haven where you're bare and unleashed. If you love to think, reflect, and meditate in the shower, imagine trying to do that with another person rubbing you nonstop.
Hint: It's not going to work.
3. Not all showers are made equal.
Sure, there are showers that are inviting and large. But if you have a shower room that can fit only one person, it's best to keep it that way.
Again, save yourself a trip to the emergency room.
4. You're in there to get clean, not dirty.
Apart from some R&R, everyone goes to the shower to clean up. If there's someone bugging as you clean yourself, you won't get the job done properly.
5. Have you ever seen shower heads?
Most shower heads can service fit one person at a given time. It's best that you keep it that way.
6. Shaving gets trickier… and deadlier.
Imagine shaving with someone next to you, super close. The floor is wet and slippery. What if they trip?
7. Your man will definitely want to wash your body.
You might have sparkly smooth boobs and butt cheeks after he's done focusing on them, but that's it. Everything else will just be soaked in water.
8. Shower BJ? More Like Waterboarding!
Imagine your knees on a cold, hard, slippery floor as water flows down your face while you hold your breath.
Sounds like torture? That's because it is.
9. Lifting against shower wall
You think that's s*xy? Well, think about your trip to the hospital and how you're going to explain it to the doctor.
10. Water ain't lube
Not everything wet is a lubricant. Actually, water can clean lubricants out. You think it's gonna be slippery when wet? THINK AGAIN!
11. Water Preference
Some like it cold, some like it hot, some like it just right. Not everyone is Goldilocks, dear.
12. Passing Gas

Horseback Riding In Ruidoso- Trippin' Momma
Hold Up! You Did What?!
Last week, I did the scariest thing ever! I rode a horse for the first time with my toddler up a freaking mountain, y'all! Yes, I am flippin' serious. The initial plan was for the big girls to get to ride a horse on an hour long trail ride. We arrived at the stables in Ruidoso, and I casually asked the dude in charge if the toddler could ride. To my surprise, he said yes. My jaw dropped.
Was he serious?
Is this legal?
Am I even considering this?
Before I knew it, the toddler and I were on a horse waiting for our trail ride to begin. The smell was unbelievably foul. I hate poop and it was every freaking where.
Almost immediately, I regretted my decision. This horse was huge and instead of it being a flat trail ride we were inching up the side of a mountain in the mud. You see. It had rained the night before so it was slippery as hell, and I can't even begin to count how many times my horse, Pegasus, slipped. The girls were both in front of me. My heart stayed racing the entire time. Surely this was not going to end well.
The toddler started off crying and whining but then she got super relaxed and actually started petting the horse, holding the reins, and waving to everybody. I couldn't believe it.
It was terrifying going up the mountain but it was even more terrifying going down. I had one arm around the toddler, one hand holding the reigns, and I had to keep leaning back as we were going down. I was praying for it to be over soon because I kept envisioning Pegasus falling off the side of the mountain. We didn't have helmets or any safety gear on, and the horse handlers were mainly teenagers although I must say they were pretty awesome.
The girls looked like pros in front of me, and I couldn't help being proud of how natural they looked.
The moment I got back I was finally able to breathe again. It was hands down one of the most amazing experiences of my life! If you are ever in Ruidoso, I can't recommend Grindstone Stables enough!

Communities of Practice and the Building of the UP Faculty
(An impromptu concept note presented at the UP System Faculty Workshops, February 26-27, 2013)
- · A COP has an informal hierarchy of knowledge-holders and experts, those studying to be experts, moonlighters, and initiates.
- Initiation requires a gradual inclusion into the ways that the community operates, their values and methods of doing, their culture and language.
- Initiation requires that the initiate be given, at the beginning, small responsibilities (sweeping the floor, running errands, sharpening minor tools), gradually increasing as the student increases in knowledge and proficiency.
- As the students move up the ranks, the community accommodates their increasing mastership by giving them opportunities for mentoring. Mentoring while learning is recognized by the community, and the emergent expertise is seen as a community trust, and is appreciated as a community asset.
- 1. Community culture. Many aspects of community behavior are made smooth and seamless through the appreciation of community culture. These are tacit forms of behavior that encapsulate community values and procedures, and as such are gradually imbibed. The manner that this can be imbibed may be facilitated by simple institutional interventions (i.e., common lunch breaks? A department reading area?), and may actually be hindered by some kinds of institutional policy. These interventions are usually better determined at the local level by understanding the local dynamics of community interactions. Community culture also can be as a lens to view questions of tenure and promotions: At which point in the development continuum would we consider a faculty member as deserving of tenure? What kinds of community activities are considered during promotions? How do we document and codify these activities?
- 2. Community stability. A large community with a wide initiate base and a full complement of number cards all the way up to the face cards has greater resources and greater stability than smaller communities. We tend to imagine our communities to be small and department-based (as this is how we operate on a daily basis), but we can extend this thinking to include similar departments from across colleges and across units, thereby increasing our community stability and the ways that we can generate and share knowledge and skills. The university can think of institutional ways to pull together departments from different units, yet again taking into consideration the localized nature of communities of practice and allowing for leeway for the spontaneous generation of community spirit.
- 3. Initiation. Our students can be considered as initiates into our communities of practice. However, unlike the apprenticeship model, we tend to inform them of the codified forms of community knowledge (otherwise known as the curriculum) and under-inform them of the skills, mindsets, and values of the community. They obtain some experience of this in their practicums and theses, but in very few instances before that. It can also be noted that these forms of training usually give emphasis on individual accomplishments over community accomplishments.
- 4. Networking. Many communities have members who, while they may not be the most brilliant or the most productive, become centers through which the community becomes cohesive. These are the community builders, who tacitly understand the nature of network building within the community and actively work towards achieving it. Members usually gravitate towards this person, as they hold the hearts of the community members and are usually relied on to facilitate referrals and requests as well as mediate in cases of misunderstanding or dispute. These persons hold influence in communities of practice but their contributions are usually not recognized by policy.
- 5. Intersecting communities. A community member is usually a member of many other communities, and their presence and participation in one community is colored by their participation in their other communities. Some members just coast along the outskirts of various communities, and these members may be useful as wild cards who bring in new ideas and new ways of seeing.
- 6. Shared crisis. It is interesting how weathering a shared crisis could influence the creation of a community by giving its members a common history and requiring relationships to gel together in many different levels.

0530 : wake up, wake up 0_-
0730 : break-fast (wat a gud name)
0850 : quizzes are waiting~
1400 : quick presentation will do ^-^
1700 : Let's swimming (the best ever!)
2000: dinner tym (hehehe~)
0000: Time to bed -_-
Being a student is the greatest thing ever happens in our life! We dunt have to think about taxes, payments, loan, and sorts of. But, we always moaning to ourselves how hard for us to get through all the quizzes, exams and presentations. How unlucky we all are to have those kind of subjects. The 'ragam' of our lecturers when we asked for additional marks. Club meetings that we have to attend. SIGH~
Come on, admit it! How many times have u reminiscing those past years in high schools with ur colleagues? All the bittersweet when we break the rules? Plenty! It is a part of life cycle, if u noe wat I am saying. We tend to look at the past instead of present.
Actually, what I wanted to say is.... ENJOY YOUR LIFE AS MUCH AS U CAN NOW, STUDENTS!

If you're not already familiar with Avec Sans, now is most certainly the time to delve in to the UK-based duo's dazzling back catalogue which has just been super-sized thanks to the arrival of the music video for their HUGE new single All Of Time; a pristine slice of soaring, ethereal electropop that, like last year's Shiver, warrants your full and immediate attention.
The track is currently available as a free download over at Avec Sans' Facebook page but is scheduled to be released as part of a five song remix bundle on 15 September. Chart Shaker caught up with Alice Fox and Jack St James to have a chat about what kind of music you'll find them listening to, and the sounds that have influenced their lives up until now.
What kind of music could we expect to hear playing on your iPods?
Alice: I'm listening to the core of things I always come back to, things like Sufjan Stevens, Everything Everything, Purity Ring, Arcade Fire, Passion Pit and things like Flume and RAC etc and then some new finds like Young Wonder, Mesita and Låpsley.
Jack: At the moment I'm really into my nu disco / funk / happy electro stuff. So Oliver Nelson, Louis La Roche. Chromeo, Fred Falke, Alex Metric, RAC, Todd Terje… It's Summertime which makes their music feel all the more euphoric.
Are there any specific songs that you associate with your early years, and what memories do you associate with them?
Alice: It was listening to Sandy Shaw's Puppet on a String and What Becomes of the Broken Hearted on some nostalgic radio station as a kid and thinking they were great. Probably Sandy's because it was about a puppet. And I was a kid. And liked puppets.
Jack: I'm not sure if it's my earliest memory (I'm not even certain what I did yesterday) but I do have vivid memories of my parents play Paul Simon, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Crosby Stills & Nash, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc… All bands which I love and still listen to today. My Dad is fanatical about the music he listens to and always used to play me stuff and introduce me to bands he liked. I can also vividly remember the first times I heard bands like Nirvana, Green Day, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers. Moments when your life just feels like everything has changed and you are totally blown away by what's coming out the speakers.
With that in mind, a lot of people think your school and college years are the most influential. What songs soundtracked those times?
Alice: I developed a taste in music that reached beyond pop from quite a young age, I remember being fascinated by Eels in primary school after seeing that performance on Top of the Pops where they played the tiny instruments and then smashed them up. I thought they were mesmerising.
Jack: I never liked the music my friends did for the first half of my school life. I was the first to really feel like music mattered and I did everything to seek it out. I was very snobby about avoiding the mainstream and got a fair bit of stick for being the odd one out. I was in to a lot of loud punk bands either playing guitar or the drums. Then the music I liked came into fashion and everyone jumped on board. I'm a lot less snobby now… to the point that I get stick for some of the incredibly mainstream pop I love.
What was the first record you bought?
Alice: Oh lordy, I can't even remember what this was, I think it was Radiohead's The Bends, but that I came to after it had been out for quite a long time. I know that that was one of the only CDs I had when I had my first CD player and that I pretty much wore a hole in it.
Jack: I had been bought CDs as presents before but I remember the first time I saved up and bought my own. I was going through my brother's CD collection and he had a writable CD full of music he'd stolen / ripped from a room mate. I wrote down two track numbers, found out who they were by and the next weekend I bought The Prodigy's Music For The Jilted Generation and Green Day's Dookie and Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.
Are there any songs you grew up with that you identify with your early experiences of love?
Alice: I used to really indulge in music when I got my heart broken. I once met this American boy at a festival when I was about 14, we spent several weeks together after that and then wrote and called each other for quite a while when he went back to the States. I remember him turning up a couple of years later in England unannounced and by then I was seeing someone who was wildly inappropriately older than me. He tried to kiss me on New Year's Eve. I was really sad about it. He's built like a tank now and is actually in the US Army, I don't think it would have worked out. We're Facebook friends. Facebook takes all the mystery and romance out of the world.
Jack: For the most part growing up I never really had all that much interest in relationships. I was always in bands, spending every lunch hour and after school rehearsing or doing something music related. I'm not sure I could be with someone who doesn't have a good ear for music which is probably why all my ex's are either singers, DJs or dancers. I need someone with the same passion that I have.
And heartbreak?
Alice: At the end of summer when my American teenage crush headed back to South Carolina I seem to remember listening a lot to a Smash Hits compilation tape of indie artists who've all since disappeared into the mists of time.
Jack: I've never really been one to listen to lyrics much. I'm always too preoccupied with what the sounds are doing and the production, so I tend to listen to music where the aesthetic matches my mood. Two Points For Honesty by Guster has always connected with me when I'm sad for some reason but more than likely I'll go for something more angry and aggressive like Four Year Strong or Sleigh Bells.
What one song do you wish you had recorded?
Alice: The Beach Boys' God Only Knows. It's perfect. So other worldly.
Jack: Bombay Bicycle Club's Shuffle. I want this song to be on the end credits of my life.
What tracks remind you of cutting loose with your friends?
Alice: This is the best cutting loose song. LCD Soundsystem's Drunk Girls, directed by the wonderful Spike Jonze. That and My Sharona, which I'll often play on loop for a shamefully long amount of time.
Jack: El Hornet DJ'd at my university before they had released Hold Your Colour and become the massive group they are today. My best friend at uni introduced them to me and we went to see the set. There were only about 50 – 100 of us there and it was absolutely incredible. We lost touch with reality and really went for it. Amazing times.
Are there any tracks that you shouldn't you admit to having on your iPods?
Alice: Probably My Sharona. But I don't give a shit, it's brilliant.
Jack: Pendulum's Slam.
Which song from your own back catalogue are you most proud of being involved in making?
Alice: I think Heartbreak Hi, I love a good retro Aussie TV series word play tie-in song so that was possibly my proudest moment.
Jack: For me Heartbreak Hi was definitely one of our proudest achievements, not only because we persevered writing that song for a year (really) but because we came out of it knowing exactly what sort of music we wanted to make. Our cover of Perth is also very special to me since that's what kicked off this whole crazy journey. I'm so pleased we've managed to get every single taste of music we love into our songs, no matter the genre.
Avec Sans' All of Time EP will be released to iTunes on 15 September. Preorder your download on iTunes now.

Just saw this phrase on a Christian blog … "the necessity of God" … and it puzzled me.
I don't know about you, but even when I was a Christian, I never felt "the necessity of God." I mean obviously God was part of my faith, but mostly "he" was someone to send prayers to … someone to sing to in church … someone to "worship and adore" …. and of course, someone that I needed to stay on the good side of … !!
I suppose if you're religious, God would be considered "necessary" because, after all, that's what religion is all about. But there's something about that phrase that seems, well, off.
To me, it makes the whole idea of "believing" rather cold and calculating. In other words, it sounds like you must agree that God is necessary before you can become a believer.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm making too much of the phrase. And certainly, as a NON-BELIEVER, God is definitely not necessary.
But I'm curious. Anyone like to offer their thoughts on "the necessity of God?"

Estate Sale Boat Casts Off
The members of Estate Sale Boat are gearing up to release their debut full-length record, Coast. Judging by "Financial Children," Coast will be the sort of record that you and your parents can listen to together at a fondue party. Breezy, laid back, and melodic to the point of sugar oozing out your speakers, "Financial Children," isn't nearly as grim as the title would imply. So while you enjoy some melted cheese turn up the yacht rock, done some polyester, plan an estate sale on a boat, and wait for Coast.

It has been a while since I have used a Lush Bath Bomb, I haven't been into a Lush store for a while and I have missed them, so it was a really lovely surprise to receive one in a goody bag from a blogger meet up I went to recently. I have never tried this bath bomb before so I was eager to try it out.
Using the Intergalactic Bath Bomb gives a beautiful display as it crumbles and drifts off in the water; it looks very 'out of this world' with lots of colours swirling away and you are left with a 'galaxy' of blue and lots of swirls and pops of colour - and popping candy. With a peppermint scent, this one is perfect if you love a long soak in the bath but you are not keen on floral or fruity scents. I think this would be suitable for a lot of people as the scent isn't over-powering. My skin felt super soft after using this, so it is definitely being added to my basket the next time I pop into Lush.
*Gifted Item*

With the introduction of new materials that virtually remove fence maintenance, Brooker is now an industry leader in the area of Fencing.
Our HOA customers count on our expertise to guide them in the right direction. And, while we are skilled at installing and maintaining wood and wrought iron, please call us today to find out about new products in the marketplace; Vinyl, Aluminum, and Steel.
Are you looking for a fence that never needs to be painted, stained, sealed, or weatherproofed? Vinyl fencing is the answer. Vinyl fences come in a variety of aesthetically pleasing colors and styles to suit the need of your Homeowner Association; including full privacy, semi-private, picket, and ranch rail.
Benefits of Vinyl:
Just as vinyl fencing is the low maintenance alternative to wood fencing, aluminum and steel fences are now being installed as the new alternative to wrought-iron fencing. Although wrought-iron is the strongest of the three different materials, the coating will always need to be maintained, and rust is almost a 100% guarantee. Aluminum and powder coated steel carry a minimum of 20 year warranties on the coating, never need painting, and with proper care and installation, are virtually guaranteed to never rust, flake, or peel.
When you are looking to replace your wrought iron, call us today!

This post is Part 5 in a series of posts investigating the traits of people who believe in the paranormal.
Part 1: We Want to Believe
Part 2: Who Wears Tinfoil Hats?
Part 3: Spirituality and a Belief in the Paranormal
Part 4: Traits of the Skeptic
Part 5: The Politics of Paranormal
Part 5: The Politics of Paranormal
The analyses in Parts 3 and 4 of this blog series demonstrate some clear differences between Trump and Clinton voters. Trump voters are similar in beliefs to religious conservatives in that they strongly believe in angels, but are also more likely to believe in conspiracy theories and Big Foot. Clinton voters' beliefs, on the other hand, more closely resemble those of liberals and the non-religious - they are less likely to believe in any paranormal activity (particularly angels), but are slightly more likely to believe in psychics.
The plot below clearly shows the differences between the two candidate's supporters. The y-axis shows the percent of all SameGrain users who believe in the phenomena indicated by the symbol. The x-axis shows the percent more likely a Trump/Clinton supporter is to have that belief. Those to the left are more common to Clinton supporters, while those to the right are more common to Trump's. The color of the symbol shows how statistically confident it is that one candidate's supporters believe more than the others'. The symbol must be outside of the shaded region for the difference between the candidates to be considered statistically significant (99% confidence).
Trump supporters are more likely to believe in most paranormal phenomena - angels, ghosts, alien visits, conspiracy theories, and Big Foot. Clinton supporters are only more likely to believe in psychics. The biggest difference between Trump and Clinton is with a belief in Big Foot; Trump supporters are 28% more likely to believe in the mythological ape-like creature. Clinton supporters' stronger belief in psychics is likely due to to the fact that women, from whom she enjoys strong support, are more likely to believe in psychics (see Part 4). Note also that Clinton supporters are nearly 40% more likely to have no paranormal beliefs. These voters are the non-religious group discussed in Part 4 who are less likely to believe in anything paranormal.
