Sometimes, those sitting alone, or I imagined a picture of you, at that time. Long brown hair flying loose to let the wind direction. Fragile in the wrong body pale yellow dress.
The hasty steps, but both seem a breeze. When it was break-time in the afternoon. I rewarded himself feeling relaxed with a delicious cup of Cappucino on hand and watch the large yard sophisticatedly designed from the 3rd floor of the office building where my company has just moved to the previous month. See me through, I suddenly have a very strange feeling that I can turn into a pale yellow clouds and flying high headline on the front of me right now. Laugh with crazy ideas, I still watched intently as a man I'm curious. Then, suddenly, like a hunch, I turned towards me. Double goggle open to surprise. And, I'm standing there, smiling nhoen ...
that moment, my heart softly again, and I know that I will never ever forget her face. Little white smooth face at me eagerly begins a naive belief, as I have just seen something interesting. Smile lit up the afternoon sun emit a warm feeling intoxicated. There is something very sweet and mellow suddenly slip into my heart. I like to say, stunned ... And just how lonely stand until I had my sight from time to time then.
After this, I have cursed herself does not know how many times. Among the vast sea of noisy, the more I see once again how very vague. If only, if only you just run in to ask a question you something, sir Raw only one sentence. Just a name also, to see also a fragile wire connections. For now, I really was into clouds hanging and, just as you imagine it, you idiot sir.
I still Imagine, if I'm here now I would say . If people come to me now that I, I can not smile anymore. Looking at a beautiful dress, I imagine I'll wear it how cute. Many times I was startled when he had to communicate through many minds thinking about you. You haunt me in dreams flicker, where I was flying butterfly gently and still smile charmed him.
At first, the association that was also strange that I found interesting, as a dotted destroy life still goes quiet. Then, more and more I find myself bogged down. The idea is how you present more onto me like a trap. Vague uncertainty makes me want to invade struggling to escape. But until then, I still do not think, not believe, or simply could not believe the strange feeling for me. Only when I say months to realize, you're sure to smile when the hand method. In her eyes, I read so surprised to see my lonely face. I already know I do not hide anymore.
I am 23 years old, is the Creative Director of a foreign design offices. Job last year busy with the large design contract from the parent company in Singapore. The cell-week day-time months are arranged in neat order and virtually no gap. Every day, I plunge into the tangle of chaos in the workplace, industrial mix with the crowd young, talented, ambitious and somewhat arrogant. My people are identical. We whirl of work pressure, but still terrible excitement, as a dangerous substance.
At night, I often went to bars where My Phuong, girlfriend I, play the piano. She was an assistant general manager in a corporate advertising business reputation. The playing here is a habit from the time that her students still did not quit. I still prefer to sit quietly in a dark corner, watching The surfing enthusiasts on alternating black and white keys. Her hand with long slender fingers dance over the keyboard always fascinated denla.
We've been together for five years. Period long enough to feel close. But really, we never mention the word "love." Work together for what has since become a necessity, obvious, or as a habit. Perhaps, both she and I both want to understand. We do not want, or rather the fear when it comes to something too obvious, too sure. We want peace in the pleasant sense of security now. However, both have always understood, this new ambiguity is what makes us the most insecure.
*** Sometimes on the road, my heart suddenly exclaimed, shocked to see a distant silhouette as you. I have many times tried to gather courage to run, and I am also disappointed that many times down. Then there are times when I suddenly found myself unconsciously heading toward large courtyard filled with sunshine that Ang I step through the other. But I'm not entirely sure what you want. Found you, yes it was fun too, good luck too. And then ...? Left The ...?
*** "Originally, I looked at this!"
I was startled. Method was to accompany me from time to time. Her face in the dim light of the bar suddenly strange too. She looked at me intently, his eyes light up draft recommendations seriously uttered some months.
"The reason why that? Highlands at this very strange. Come with me, but where are raw like that. "
I smile, his throat suddenly dry. I'm in with a sip of water. "There is nothing in them ... I just too sensitive to it too. Maybe because the work in the office these days ... too tired. "
Silence. Confused. I tried to break the suffocating him.
"How long have you not happy playing the music again. I usually hit only sad songs. "
" Um ... Well let me give players a fun offline Highlands. "She laughed quietly sad.
The Light gently toward the piano. The guests in the bar cheer cheerful tone when the bustle of the "spring" in the song "Four Seasons" by Vivaldi rang out in space. Only me, and perhaps another method, hear between the notes that thrill a little ripple of confusion, chaos.
*** I feel something not-normal-regular. Originally the saying goes, you need to know that, right?
I let people down, threw the phone aside. Method SMS from the line still resounds in my head constantly. I know how to answer you hustle method? That he loved a girl u. A complete stranger girl and he did not even know her name even more. It's silly myth is not it?
But I know she got out. My method is always sensitive to the fragility. I closed my eyes, imagine her image. Means of a few years ago, her gentle innocence and sometimes mild weakness mi close vote on the keyboard as he led students that I lament. Method of time students complete course and more seasoned, ocean-going times of the airspace favorite of both child-playing barefoot between ocean waves and blue skies, breathtakingly beautiful. Then the methods of today, her bravery and good giang with a job many people dream, but why so suddenly like a stranger. She had not long ago based on my shoulders, no longer sobbing with sadness I'm happy sometimes very small. Both her, even I was drawn into the vortex and then gradually work apart from his time did not know ...
It all really ended already?
week, several methods are not met. I stayed calm going back and forth, threw herself into work. I'm still laughing with colleagues and friends.
But, inside me, seems to have a new blank form. It just spreads out forever, it's annoying.
Perhaps that is so down, uncomfortable with the lack of method. I reassure my self. But I know, not completely true. There is something intangible, stuffy seems to remind me that I had forgotten something very important.
Do not know why this method and then Children's stroll. She is very tough and bravery, she really is just me, still work normally even in the heart of a little down. But she will be fine, I know. She was much stronger than the other two new early acquainted.
Chilly weather last year, each paddy winds up in the air. From the window of my room, I looked at the alley at night peacefully. Paper flowers on dense array of many neighbors, each drive, each drive is that we petals flying in the wind as the rain of flowers, was beautiful. Every year at this time, the method I prefer and still claim the same front porch, idly watching her with flower petals flying. Method which is still romantic and dreamy like that. Suddenly, I remembered the smiling faces of her passionate interest in the paper flower truss.
Suddenly, the rain drops falling on my cool. This is a walk or a late season rains remain so. The rain seems increasingly heavy. This is now at The tan is based on the way home. Not knowing she is not sure to bring a raincoat. Walk before me always have to remind her, has run the day to bring her in person again. I felt nervous. or call her to see why it? Anyway, here considered the best running back, bring your raincoat always ...
I stood up. Suddenly I stopped, my heart ached to hear. You are doing so raw? Are not you then chose to leave The stars ...
Wait, why do not you realize that you still remember a thing about her and her attention to how much you? You do not realize that was how long, so much torment and empty when the decision was split method to make you forget the very reason why you away from her? You completely forget I was, who her eyebrow-La, and the only church in the tsunami memories gush about the method. Idiot, very stupid, I cursed herself. Stars forever till now I realize what is important to you, and your heart will always be an actual method. Emotions to be but I was most severe heatstroke time. I panic I realized why the image of that same method of beginning to wonder. So I've been in love with Phuong, the second time, but where a stranger to love any other. Heaven, sir, so now I know it, is it not too late ...
No. No way, I must find her, though only a slim chance I would like to find her. Right now. If not, I know I will forever live in regret that the infinite torment. I work from home ...
And, I froze again. Where the gate of my house, as Phuong. She was shivering, wet glaze. Even the rain, I still see the tears in her eyes sparkling diamond conference that I still love him dearly. My heart sank, want to break out because you love her. And angry at myself ...
"Originally, I thought forever. We actually ended à. You still do not believe it, can you ... "
I hugged method, do not let her say. I stroked her wet hair, whispered: "I love you. Fault. We go to start offline. "Happy smile breaking the tears on my shoulder.
Thank You, The-Strange. You have helped me grasp the most precious thing in life ...
*** beautiful afternoon. I still loved the sun shines bright like this. How sad it makes for really boring to melt away. I find the West tightened. Warm hand gently put my hand in neat, reliable. She smiled softly, gently.
Suddenly I stopped. As I, A-La. Can not be wrong. She is the corner where, in the bus station. Still he is innocent faces stared ahead. Still soft and light brown hair flying in the wind.
The voice quietly: "Originally, what's wrong?". Her hands shook slightly as I'm concerned. I looked at her, smiling reassurance: "Do not. Suddenly want to go too. Go offline. " Method nodded, face radiant happiness. And I know, I'll keep it forever smile, not an illusion any more.
Suddenly, in a strange moment, he suddenly turned-strange to me. Goggle double surprise. As well then realized something, I smiled to me again.
And this time, I look at you for a smile, cheerful response.

Does Your Health Plan Document and SPD Show How You Determine Full-Time Status?
To avoid ACA tax penalties, large employers – 50 or more full-time equivalents in the previous calendar year – are allowed to determine if their employees are full-time either (i) on a monthly basis or (ii) on a "look-back" basis described in ACA regulations. Employers can use look-back or monthly method for IRS-designated classes of employees: hourly, salaried, employed in different states, or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Typically, we see employers with variable hour work forces, such as restaurant owners, use the look-back method for hourly employees.
The main advantage of the "look-back" method is that coverage is not required for employees who do not regularly work 30 hours per week, but who occasionally do so. Under the look-back method, employees will not be considered full-time unless they average at least 130 hours per month during an entire look-back period, in which event they then are deemed full-time during a following "stability period," regardless of hours in the stability period.
Look-back periods are selected by the employer in advance. They will typically be 12 months long and must end within 90 days preceding a stability period, which usually starts on the first day of a plan year and lasts for the longer of 6 months or the length of the look-back period.
The look-back method also requires initial measurement periods and initial stability periods for new hires while they transition to the look-back and stability periods used for ongoing employees. However, unless a new employee is part-time or variable hour, the monthly method is required under look-back for new hires until the employee has completed the standard measurement period applicable to ongoing employees. The look-back rules are complicated but are popular with large employers whose part-time, variable hour, and seasonal employees occasionally work full-time in busy months.
There is more involved than taxes. What if a part-time employee who worked more than 30 hours per week in a busy month (and is not offered coverage because the employer is using the look-back method) needs medical care? Are you ready for the lawyer who asks: "Why wasn't my client and his family offered health insurance? He was working full-time that month." The employer whose health plan does not specifically mention that the look-back method is being used, with actual details about the measurement periods and stability periods in use, is in a very weak position.
Advice: do not just rely on the booklet the insurance company provides. ERISA requires that you have a plan document and a summary plan description which describes the rules of your health plan.

Have you ever felt like the relationships with your family, friends, colleagues at work, your church family, and yes even God, are falling apart and the more you do it seems to make it worse? You seem to be going in different directions, and the rift is getting wider. Trying to fix it creates more and more stress and anxiety. You keep working at it but it's like you're stuck in quicksand. Stop working so hard at it. Simplify and do it God's way.
Sometimes we think we can function without ever addressing and finding closure to a conflict. Those conflicts may be with family, friend, or the people we work with everyday. Refusal to deal with them saps energy from us and hangs over us like a dark cloud.
This is from some of the research I did for this series;
I know a guy who, for whatever reason, has a pattern of broken relationships in his life. When a misunderstanding happens or someone is wounded, he makes little or no attempt to set things right. "It takes too much time and energy," he says. "I just move on." And he leaves a path of desolation in his wake.
If this guy were to tally the number of hours it has cost him over the years to avoid dealing with the relational wounds that have come his way (not to mention those he has dished out), he would find the opposite is true. It is much more time-efficient—and brings much greater peace of mind and satisfaction with life—to heal a relational rift rather than let it linger or avoid it altogether. We cannot live simplified lives without attending to broken relationships. - Simplify: Ten Practices to Unclutter Your Soul by Bill Hybels
What's the best way to deal with fractured relationship? Forgiveness. To forgive is to stop feeling anger toward someone or about something, to pardon them.
Why forgive? Because God, who is our example for how to forgive, does. He forgives and overlooks everything that we have done and do against Him, through Jesus, so that we can have eternal life and an eternal inheritance.
Micah 7:18 (NLT) 18 Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of his special people? You will not stay angry with your people forever, because you delight in showing unfailing love.
Forgiveness is an act of the will and since God commands us to forgive we must make that choice. We must forgive even if the person who offended us doesn't ask for or doesn't even want forgiveness.
Matthew 5:44-45 (NLT) 44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT) 14 "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Ephesians 4:32 (NLT) 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Matthew 18:21-22 (NLT) 21 Then Peter came to him and asked, "Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?" 22 "No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy times seven!
Jesus understood the cost of broken relationships. As He hung dying on the cross, Jesus asked for forgiveness for the very people who accused, convicted and were killing Him.
Luke 23:34 (NLT) 34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.
When we experience the forgiveness of our own sins then we can call on the power of the Holy Spirit to enable us to choose to forgive.
Think about how a fractured relationship has complicated your life. Now think about how forgiveness can simplify it.
Here are the links to two posts I wrote that will help you in forgiving others. What Does the Bible Say, Does Forgiving Mean Forgetting?, The Bible Says that Forgiveness is Mandatory
Strengthen The Right Relationships
Life is too rich with opportunity to walk it alone.
Proverbs 13:20 (NLT) 20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
What Solomon said is absolutely true. When we surround ourselves with foolish people, we become like them. No matter how strong you are, people who are prideful, dishonest, mean-spirited, and divisive will influence you, and affect your spiritual growth. In our relationships both good and bad rub off. Just as the bad rubs off when we surround ourselves with proud, dishonest people, when we surround ourselves with wise, mature, people of integrity, their high character rubs off on us.
Real friends know, accept, love, serve, and celebrate one another. We often settle for friendships that don't meet this standard. Our relationships require regular evaluation, and strengthening. This sometimes requires pruning or cutting off some relationships.
The apostle Paul gives us a list of the character traits we should look for when evaluating our relationships--people with the fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT) 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Look for people who exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit.. Their character will rub off on you. In order to identify people with the fruit of the Holy Spirit you need the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. If you don't have Him I'll tell you how you can get Him later in this post.
When you evaluate your relationships ask yourself these questions. What qualities do you most value in your friends and why? How does your current inner circle of friends reflect these qualities?
You'll simplify your life when you evaluate and fine-tune your relationships. Prune wisely and with determination. When you prune, as with a plant, this creates space for new growth in relational, spiritual, and emotional fruit.
The Holy Spirit is Essential in Simplifying Your Life
Earlier in this post I wrote that the only way that you can forgive some things is through the power of the Holy Spirit. I also wrote that the best relationships are those formed with people who exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit. If you don't have the Holy Spirit then you don't have the power to forgive the most hurtful things, and you don't have the fruit of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the gift of God that comes to dwell in you when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Romans 8:11 (NLT) The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Timothy 1:14 (NLT) Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.
The first relationship you need to establish is the one with Jesus. If you want that relationship which will result in the Holy Spirit coming to live in, you here's what you need to do;
Romans 10:9 (NLT) If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Pray this prayer in all sincerity. It doesn't matter where you are. You may be at you desk on your computer, or somewhere on your laptop, you may be reading this on your smartphone, or your tablet. It doesn't matter just pray in all sincerity. Don't just say it if you don't really mean it, because if you do you will just be speaking words. But if you are tired of trying to change things in your own power, and are ready to turn your life over to the One who can make you a new creature with a renewed heart and mind pray;
"God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"
If you truly understand and believe what you just prayed then these promises of eternal life apply to you. So do all the other promises that God has made to believers. To find out what they are and how they apply to you find a bible believing church and start to fellowship with other believers. Welcome to the family of God my brother or sister.

Remember the popular ice-breaking game Two Truths and a Lie? Well, in the spirit of Friday fun, we've decided to put a fashion-y twist on it. Play with us, won't you? Here we go:
1. This dress was swiped from the costume closet at Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London.
2. This dress is a runway look from the Alexander McQueen Spring 2011 collection.
3. This dress costs $15,995 and sold out in a matter of hours.
Click through to see which one is the lie, as if it isn't obvious.
Good job, guys! Number one is the lie. This dress, which went up for sale on Net-A-Porter earlier today, is a magnificent piece from the Alexander McQueen Spring 2011 collection, the first that Sarah Burton designed for the house. The pagan-inspired dress is breathtaking, and so is the price$15,995. The site didn't order a full run of sizesand we're guessing that it bought only one or two in eachbut the fact that this silk-organza gown sold out so quickly is confounding.
Yes, it's a work of art, but it's not like you can hang it in your home on display. I don't doubt that the couture-like craftsmanship of this dress warrants a pricetag akin to that of a small car, but where, pray tell, would you actually wear this?

I have a Blue Ox Tow Bar that is excess to my needs right now....anybody need one? It is an Aventa II BX 7335 Tow Bar Class IV-2 inch receiver, rated to pull up to 10,000 lbs.
I just had it totally rebuilt at the Escapade Rally in Gillette, WY in Sept 2011. I thought I would offer it to any of my readers first before I put it up for sale locally and on eBay. They are heavy and cost about $50.00 to ship anywhere, so a local pick up would be great. I'm asking $250.00 for it….. If you can use it, let me know and we can work something out……..
We found a couple of these old deteriated RV vent covers in our yard when we got here. I thought, hmmm, must have blew off somebody's RV sometime during one of the summer wind storms. I didn't think much more about it until Ms. Pat ask "Does our cargo trailer that we store the ATV's in have vent covers like that?" A light suddenly went off in my head,,,DUH! Gee, I don't remember if it does or not, I'll go look. Well it's so tall ya can't see the roof without a ladder. So I drug out my step ladder and VIOLA.....sure enough!!! 2 big gapping 12" square holes in the top of our trailer…… Uh Oh.....better look inside and check stuff out.
That's a pretty big hole that was wide open on the roof…… 2 of them.
Fortunately, I had covers over the ATV's and there was no damage to anything. I could see where the water had puddled in the heavy canvas covers, probably until it evaporated. No floor damage either, so we were very lucky!
A quick trip to town and $50.00 later, I have two brand new vent covers, new gaskets all installed and ready for that rainstorm brewing in the background.
Yesterday, Ms. Pat spent all afternoon at her Pistol shooting practice at the Wickenburg Sportsman's Club range. She shot over 100 rounds through her new Ruger sr1911 .45 Cal pistol. It's a lot different than her Glock and takes some getting used to but she said she loves the new gun. Now I gotta get to reloading some .45's.
Tomorrow we are headed to the big city and over to my Dr. appointment in Scottsdale. Long day and a long trip but that is where the Dillon reloading factory is and I need some items…so it won't be a wasted trip…
It is a GREAT WEEK!!!! The weather is PERFECT…
Thanks for stopping by. Come on back when ya get a chance………..or better yet, stop and see us!
God Bless you all…

May God bless you and your...
I just "today" received an email from Gayle of Joe's passing. I am so sorry I didn't know then. My best memory of him was when he took me way up into the Bell Tower of St. Patricks to show me all the Bells and let me ring them as I had so many times heard them through North Central. I am sure his Spirit is there to guard them. He will be so missed.

Artist: N'to
Title: Starlings EP
Cat.: einmusika087
Format: Wav / MP3
Release Date: November 14th, 2016
Buy at beatport.com!
01. Starlings
02. Starlings (Henry Saiz Remix)
03. J'oublie
Cold and full of pressure, that's how we start. With strong claps and dark synths the dancefloor is getting crowded. "Starlings" is heavy and energetic at the same time. Some really nifty synth work by N'to bringing kind of salvation after the break and from that point it feels like a space trip into another world. To make your journey unforgettable we added a remix by Mister Henry Saiz – which is bringing more light without loosing the deepness of the track.

Expert trains Traverse City postal workers on dealing with aggressive dogs
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (WPBN/WGTU) -- Traverse City Postal Workers took part in some hands on training on what to do if they get attacked by a dog.
Hector Hernandez and his dog Malo taught the group the 'Do's and Don'ts' for what to do when they are faced with an aggressive dog.
Hernandez says first, you should look right at the dog and walk backwards. If the dog continues, Hernandez told workers to put something between them and the dog, like their mail bag, mail or even a hat.
If that doesn't work, he suggests an air horn or pepper spray.
"I think it's sad because it's not the letter carriers responsibility to protect themselves from someone else's dog. That's silly to me," said Hernandez. "So I'm saying that the homeowner should know how to train and manage their dogs. They should know how to have their dog under control when someone comes. Especially someone who can come on their property without their permission. Like a letter carrier, police or utility workers."
Hernandez travels all over the country giving these presentations to postal workers, utility workers and law enforcement.

Without these funds, he would not be able to build a "green Empire" of electric cars and solar power". But all of this is likely to face a huge change: Trump won the presidential election, and he believes that climate change is a hoax fabricated in china. We can imagine, climate change advocates on behalf of the musk future may be less than. Especially for the SolarCity, whether the Trump administration will continue to tax relief policies of solar energy has become a huge potential risk. But this negative factor did not have much impact on the merger of Tesla and SolarCity. 4 p.m. EST on November 17th for the shareholder vote, up to 85% of the shareholders to support the success of mergers and acquisitions, Tesla will be in the bag SolarCity!

This year, the company's share price has fallen by more than 60%.

In recent years, the price of solar panels continued to fall, more users began to consider direct enough to buy solar panels, rather than from the SolarCity lease. In response, SolarCity acquired Silevo in 2014. Silevo is a Silicon Valley companies that produces solar panels相关的主题文章:

Duffy left to pick up pieces after setback
Fermanagh manager Sean Duffy was left perplexed following his team's shock collapse against Lancashire in the Lory Meagher Cup in Manchester at the weekend.
The Ernesiders surrendered to their hosts by 2-22 to 0-15, thus becoming their first-ever victims in the competition.
By half-time it had become clear that Cork native Ronan Crowley was very much in charge of scoring operations for the winners as he had landed 2-5 by then before going on to embellish this total after the break with capable assistance from Daragh O'Brien and Nathan Unwin.
Sean Corrigan tried hard to keep Fermanagh in touch and even full-back Matthew Teague chipped in with a couple of points, but in the end the Erne outfit were forced to bow to a superior force.
Cavan, who have just returned to senior inter-county hurling after a six-year absence from this particular arena, tasted defeat for the second week in succession when they fell to a lively Leitrim side by 1-20 to 0-12.
The Breffni side had shipped a heavy defeat to Warwickshire the previous weekend and had hoped to make a better impression against Leitrim but a goal from Zak Moradi proved a huge incentive to the winners to produce a strong finish.
Cavan spokesman Mark O'Rourke believes, though, that the side's experience in the Lory Meagher Cup will ultimately stand to them.
"We always knew it would be difficult coming back but hopefully we can improve as we go along," said O'Rourke.
"We will get better with experience."

Our Green Charter
We pride ourselves at Westomatic on our Environmental policies and are fully committed to a Green road charter.
Taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint…
Businesses currently account for around half of the UK's carbon emissions. But one of the fastest ways to save money and fight climate change is to reduce the amount of energy used. With this in mind, Westomatic has taken a proactive approach to corporate responsibility, leading the market in terms of green innovation including; design, supply chain management, production techniques and waste management.
Green hot and cold beverage vending machines
• Programmable energy management system reduces power consumption by up to 30%
• Flash cooling technology means electricity is only consumed when a chilled drink selection is actually made
• Gravity-fed paperless brewer uses less energy than a pressurised system
• Permanent refillable ingredient canisters mean less packaging, wastage and cost (compared with pod and in-cup machines)
• 50,000 hour, long-life LED lighting means no-more fluorescent light tubes to replace
• Use of recycled materials wherever possible
• Cup sensor allows the use of own cup, mug, jug or bottle which reduces waste
• Larger, more efficient water filters extend machine life and reduce the need for service calls
Green snack, can and bottle vending machines
• Foam-injected cabinet and door on SnackPoint Quattro, Quinto and Duo for ultimate insulation
• Triple glazed window reduces heat transfer
• Low energy, long-life LED lighting
• Patented side elevations deliver cool air directly on the products (rather than chill the entire cabinet): the refrigeration system doesn't have to work as hard and reduces waste energy
• Use of ozone-friendly R134a refrigerant
Richard Brinsley with WEEE Man at the Eden Project
Long operational life
All Westomatic machines are of a robust nature to ensure operational longevity and our dedicated machine refurbishment centre means we can also cost-effectively extend the working life of equipment which further reduces waste and reliance on land-fill
Exceptional recycling properties
• Recycled materials used where ever possible, including plastic mouldings on Sigma and Azure
• In-house paint plant recycles heat from drying process for the final baking cycle and over 90% of over-sprayed powder coating is reused.
• All spare parts are distributed in reused boxes. In fact, Westomatic has not purchased a cardboard box since 1994!
Responsible purchasing and distribution
• 92% of the components and materials used in Westomatic machines are sourced in the UK
• Buying from a British Manufacturer means shorter logistic paths and a reduced carbon footprint
• All UK delivered freestanding beverage machines are transported in long-life re-useable cases (free from shrink-wrap, polystyrene, cardboard and wooden pallets)
Leading the way in energy efficiency
The European Vending Association (EVA) has introduced an 'Energy Management Protocol' to effectively measure the energy consumption of vending machines. The results speak for themselves with some competitor machines using up to 51% more energy compared to Westomatic machines.
Compliance: We actively support the following:
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment): Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) aims to conserve landfill and support sustainable development by providing impetus to boost recycling.
The WRAS: Promotes water regulations throughout the UK and amongst others, helps to prevent waste, undue consumption, misuse or contamination.
RoHS: Westomatic is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant and takes active steps to ensure that no restricted materials enter the waste stream.
C10C: Westomatic is an active member of the industry standard and government approved C10C scheme which can provide a seamless solution to the collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of end of life machines.
Green Road Charter Environmental Champion: Westomatic has been awarded the official industry title of 'Green Road Charter Environmental Champion' for leading the way in green initiatives throughout all aspects of the business.

…I think…
So Saturday afternoon we went over to the "new flat"to get the contract from the owners (contract is loooong and in German, which basically means I won't even bother looking at it, plus what do I have a German boyfriend for?).
We have to read it (carefully I guess), sign it, send it etc etc. We also took the measurements of the kitchen since we need to build one in there. Unlucky us, when we moved in this flat, we had bought a Värde counter from Ikea, which seemed as a good investment at the time, since for some very weird reason we had fallen in love with this series and we were thinking "till the day comes that we can have our own kitchen let's get this" but surprise surprise, Ikea few months ago killed most of the stuff from the series, pretty much everything that could implement a stove, sink etc (basically they have only the counters available for sale) so now it turned out we had a very nice problem to face. Smart boyfriend to the rescue, and thank God for Germans that don't throw their stuff away but re-sell them, there are people selling the so wanted parts on eBay and it seems like this we can also save some money if we get them used.
We contacted one person that is couple of hours driving away and Sunday morning he sent us his phone number so we can get in touch with him and the rest you can of course imagine.
So… Next Saturday, we'll be getting a sprinter in the morning and already starting to move some basic stuff and on Sunday we'll be getting the kitchen. After this, awesome boyfriend, will have to start playing Tetris trying to put everything together and I'll probably be busy unpacking the rest of our stuff (probably my clothes :D)
Of course so far this had been very easy and I was starting to get really suspicious over it. Everyone was telling me not to jinx it but well, today hell kinda broke lose. Firstly I realised that a stove, sink and dishwasher will not fit one next to each other with the kitchen that we want, because they have to be in this order and there is not enough space. Also, three other tiny incidents at work made me really wanting to get home at the end of the day but worst of all, the fishing rod I bought for my best friend's brother is not possible to be shipped to Greece, so I have no clue on how to deliver it to her :S
I know, what a drama am I creating out of nowhere, right? Maybe because I have been waiting for something negative to happen, maybe even because it was not 1 thing but 5 at the end it kinda bothered more than usual. For the moment, I'll just call it a usual Monday and try to just get over it.
That's all for now, I need to go and relax my mind with something brainless!

What should be the new AG's human rights priorities?/
Australia's new Attorney-General, Nicola Roxon, was sworn in on 14 December 2011. We asked some of Australia's leading human rights advocates, activists and academics to tell us, in less than 100 words, what the Attorney's top human rights priority or initiative for 2012 should be. Here's what they had to say.
Catherine Branson QC – President of the Australian Human Rights Commission
My hope is that the new Attorney-General's priorities will include bringing along her fellow ministers and parliamentarians in making the new human rights scrutiny processes effective and seeing through the consolidation of federal discrimination laws process to create an effective national equality law. She should also ensure the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and establish a national system of monitoring places of detention. Finally, the Attorney must ensure that human rights considerations inform policy in all areas of her portfolio, for example in security policy where there is an urgent need for a system enabling review of adverse security assessments.
Claire Mallinson – National Director of Amnesty International Australia
With the start of a New Year and a new Attorney General in place there is a real opportunity to address the serious human rights violations that are currently occurring.
Amnesty International's 142,000 supporters in Australia and our millions more across the world are looking to the new Attorney General to show leadership and implement the Government's statements of commitment to human rights.
Real change, including significant legislative and policy reform must occur to ensure human rights are protected, including implementation of the 145 recommendations that the UN Human Rights Council made to the Australian government earlier this year.
A genuine commitment to upholding human rights needs to be at the core of Nicola Roxon's work.
Julian Burnside AO QC – Leading human rights barrister and refugee advocate
Apart from a Human Rights Act, the Attorney-General should make sure that ASIO decisions concerning refugees are timely and effectively reviewable. Boat people can remain in detention for many months – more than a year in some cases – after being assessed as refugees, waiting for an ASIO assessment. People assessed as refugees but adversely assessed by ASIO face lifetime detention, without being given reasons. ASIO refuses to give reasons for an adverse assessment, thus making judicial review extremely difficult. Al Kateb's case means that a refugee who is refused a visa (because of ASIO) and cannot be removed from Australia (because they are a refugee) can stay in detention forever. The A-G needs to ask whether this fits our conception of a just society.
Ed Santow – Chief Executive Officer of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre
Over the last few years, the Australian Government has made progress in improving the protection of our basic rights. However, Australia still lacks a comprehensive human rights law. This increases the vulnerability of already disadvantaged people — like Indigenous Australians, people experiencing homelessness and people with a disability. To rectify this, the new Attorney-General should take the lead in fully implementing the recommendations of the 2009 National Human Rights Consultation, including by enacting a comprehensive Human Rights Act.
Chris Sidoti – International human rights expert and member of the HRLC's Advisory Committee
Rob McClelland was a good Attorney General for human rights. But he failed the biggest need and challenge, to achieve an Australian Charter of Rights – not through lack of personal commitment, it has to be said, but through Prime Ministerial and Labor Party opposition.
Nicola Roxon's challenge is the unfinished business:
- having the new parliamentary human rights committee elected and put to work quickly and effectively
- completing outstanding treaty ratifications: the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture, the Migrant Workers Convention, the Optional Protocols on complaints of violations of economic, social and cultural rights and of the rights of children
- ensuring that, at long last, Australia's regime for boat people conforms with international human rights law
- most importantly, reviving work to get us an Australian Charter of Rights by 2014.
Professor Hilary Charlesworth – Director of the Centre for International Governance and Justice at ANU
The 2011 Universal Periodic Review of Australia provides a useful agenda for the new Attorney-General. While various aspects of the Human Rights Council's recommendations have been accepted by Australia, some of the major concerns have been rejected or sidelined. These include ensuring that the treatment of asylum-seekers is consistent with our international commitments and that Indigenous Australians can enjoy the rights set out in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Taking the UPR seriously not only at the domestic level but also in our foreign and aid policies would be a fruitful human rights investment for Australia.
Nicky Friedman – Head of Pro Bono & Community Programs with Allens Arthur Robinson
The new Attorney should ensure that asylum seekers can access and exercise their legal rights. Since the High Court's decision in M61, which confirmed that review by the courts is available to asylum seekers who are processed offshore, legal assistance providers have been hit with floods of applications for legal representation in judicial review proceedings. Despite the huge increase in demand, no extra funds have been provided and legal aid and community legal centres are turning away desperate people. The Attorney should provide funds to boost the capacity of refugee and immigration community legal centres and legal aid commissions to deal with these matters immediately.
Professor Sarah Joseph – Director of the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law
There are many human rights priorities for Australia in 2012, such as properly implementing the new Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act and vastly improving this country's impoverished refugee debate. As the number one priority, however, I would say that the Australian Government must take the lead in vigorously supporting amendment of the Australian Constitution to better recognise and protect the rights of Indigenous peoples, and to educate Australian people about the need for such amendment. A campaign against Constitutional recognition has already begun (see eg, J Albrechtsen in The Australian on 14 December). The government and the opposition must get on the front foot to counter the scaremongering.
Nicolas Patrick – Partner and Head of Pro Bono with DLA Piper
I would prioritise the human rights of people in places of detention.
A significant proportion of Australia's prison population suffer from mental illness. There is a causal and consequential link between imprisonment and mental illness. Australia is warehousing people with mental health problems in prisons, where mental health care is entirely inadequate.
The number of juveniles in detention is also a major concern, along with the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These issues raise significant concerns with respect to Australia's obligations under the Convention against Torture, the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and require the urgent attention of the Australian Government.
Robin Banks is Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Commissioner
Work has begun on the important work of consolidating federal anti-discrimination laws. This is a once in a decade opportunity not only to consolidate the laws but to modernise them and bring them into line with international developments in equality law. At a minimum, the federal government should provide leadership on the next generation of equality laws and ensure federal protection against discrimination for all those currently protected by state or territory laws, with the capacity to readily extend the protection to newly emerging disadvantaged groups. A proactive compliance model should be at the core of the reforms.
Anna Cody – Director of Kingsford Legal Centre
The Australian Government has a great opportunity to make life fairer for disadvantaged people through the consolidation of Commonwealth anti-discrimination laws project. This has the potential to impact on the most disadvantaged in our community – Indigenous peoples, particularly Indigenous women and Indigenous people with disability. The Attorney General's Department has made a great start and should ensure creation of a pro active regulatory approach which doesn't rely on individuals making complaints and can address systemic discrimination. For example a new framework can look at the experience of Indigenous women in getting secure, affordable housing and eradicate institutional barriers.
David Manne – Executive Director of the Refugee and Immigration Legal Centre
There are a range of areas where Australia's treatment of asylum-seekers and refugees is inconsistent with international human rights obligations and domestic legal norms. A pressing reform priority is the management of ASIO security assessments. A growing number of people have been recognised as refugees but remain indefinitely detained due to negative security assessments, without any explanation of the basis on which they supposedly pose a security risk, and without any opportunity to respond to such concerns. This process needs to be brought in line with international and domestic principles of natural justice, and in particular, the provision of a meaningful opportunity to respond to adverse information, to challenge it, and access to independent review.
Professor Spencer Zifcak – President of Liberty Victoria
The first major announcement Nicola Roxon should make is that the Government will appoint a Commonwealth Children's Commissioner. The Commissioner's primary task should be to act as an advocate for children's rights and interests. Children in many categories are significantly disadvantaged. These include Indigenous children, refugee children, homeless children, children with physical and mental disabilities, and children in state care. Yet they have no official representative to articulate their needs and their opinions. It is time they had one. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has recommended that Australia take this initiative. The A-G should seize this opportunity to make children's rights real.
Stephen Keim SC – President of Australian Lawyers for Human Rights
The challenge for any Australian Attorney-General is to put human rights principles ahead of political convenience.
This means standing up for accountability in respect of alleged torturers and war criminals, whether they are from the United States or Sri Lanka, on the one hand, or a conveniently deposed Libyan dictator on the other.
It is no more honourable, now, to encourage an international culture of impunity than it was when a former Australian government stood aside and allowed Australians, David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib, to be rendered, tortured and illegally imprisoned for years on end."
Kristen Hilton – Director of Civil Law, Access & Equity with Victoria Legal Aid
Under the Federal Government's Access to Justice Framework, better and more transparent primary decision making is a key goal.
Statistics show that nearly a third of challenged Centrelink decisions are changed on internal review and more are changed at higher tribunals. Similarly, poor primary decision by the Department of Immigration on refugee applications has meant that two out of three decisions have been overturned on appeal. In one of the least transparent exercises of government decision making, asylum seekers who have received negative security assessments not only have no right to appeal, they have no right to know the reasons behind the decision.
Restoring public confidence in effective, transparent decision making that is based on principles of fairness and justice and a respect of individuals' rights would greatly improve access to justice and should be a key priority.
Rodney Croome – Director of the Australian Coalition for Equality
The Attorney's priorities should be as follows:
- Comprehensive national laws prohibiting sexuality and gender identity discrimination and vilification are long overdue. "Comprehensive" means no exemptions for church schools and welfare agencies.
- It's not enough for federal politicians to support marriage equality. If reform is to occur it needs heterosexual, front-bench champions like the Attorney-General. She must also remove the bureaucratic barriers to same-sex couples marrying overseas, immediately!
- The civil and political rights of LGBTI people are still regularly violated and need the protection of a Charter of Rights. The ICCPR already acts as a de facto charter for Australia, albeit a weak one. It's time for us "repatriate" our human rights protections so Australian human rights violations can be judged by Australian courts according to standards set by the Australian people.
- The implementation of these reforms will not be easy. The Attorney must establish an LGBTI reference group to help her Department, similar to groups at the state level.
Professor David Kinley – Chair in Human Rights Law at Sydney Law School
Pay very close attention to the newly established parliamentary human rights scrutiny committee. This is a sleeping giant, whose potential power and range is underappreciated; indeed largely unnoticed. Having authority to scrutinise all bills for compliance with all Australia's international human rights obligations goes far beyond the scope of any equivalent mechanism overseas, and it will embarrass and expose. So, heads up for the enhanced human rights scrutiny of the next wave of immigration, anti-terrorism or workplace relations proposals.
PS. Don't take up smoking this year.
Professor Andrew Lynch – Director of the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law
Alongside the perennial challenge of how Australia treats those who seek asylum here, the Attorney-General's particular human rights priority for 2012 is handling the lead-up to the referendum in the interests of Indigenous Australians. When the Expert Panel reports on its consultation process in mid-January, the ball is firmly back in the government's court. I want to see less emphasis on simply 'constitutional recognition' and greater willingness to seize this once-in a generation opportunity to place a meaningful guarantee of racial equality in our Constitution for the protection of all in our community, but most importantly our First Peoples.
John Tobin – Associate Professor at Melbourne Law School and member of the HRLC Advisory Committee
The prioritisation of efforts to address human rights considerations is always fraught with danger. But the reality of limited resources means that prioritisation is a fact of political life. Given this reality, the top priority for the new Attorney General in 2012 must be ensuring the successful implementation of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011. The requirement to scrutinize all new legislation in light of international human rights standards must not be reduced to a shallow process of compliance. Instead, the Attorney General must lead from the front and demonstrate that substantive engagement with international human rights standards leads to more effective and equitable legislative outcomes.
Lucy Adams – Senior Lawyer with the PILCH Homeless Persons' Legal Clinic
On census night in 2006, approximately 105,000 Australians were homeless, including approximately 7,480 families. Australia needs a human rights-based framework for addressing homelessness.
In Victoria, we have seen how legislative protection of human rights can work in practice through the Victorian Charter of Human Rights. The HPLC has relied on the Charter's binding obligations on public bodies – to give proper consideration to human rights in decision-making and to act compatibly with human rights – to avoid the eviction of 42 people, including 21 children, from social housing into homelessness.
Enforceable human rights obligations, including national homelessness legislation that enshrines the right to adequate housing, are critical to Australia's ability to effectively prevent and address homelessness.
Lucy McKernan is Manager of Strategic Projects with the Public Interest Law Clearing House
That a five year old girl can be lawfully refused admission to a government funded kindergarten on the basis of her parents' same-sex relationship, is a disgrace. Even the Acting Bishop for the relevant Catholic diocese was 'appalled' by the discriminatory decision, yet Australian laws allow this form of discrimination by religious organisations.
Attorney-General Roxon should remove the blanket exceptions for religious organisations permitting them to discriminate on the grounds of sex and age. At the very least, the Attorney should prohibit discrimination by religious organisations in respect of their government funded functions and require greater transparency from organisations seeking to rely on the exceptions. Importantly, the Attorney should also show leadership by encouraging her State counterparts to follow suit.
Les Malezer is Co-Chair of the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples
The priority for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples is to gain recognition and respect as first peoples, and acknowledgement and protection of Indigenous rights.
In 2012, the Attorney General must make the Human Rights Framework effective, leading cultural change across government. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples this includes giving the recommendations and reports of the ATSI Social Justice Commissioner real authority, not just political lip service. The Government must also implement and be accountable to reports on human rights by national and international authorities. There should also be a focus on judicial and legal education, to ensure legal professionals understand Indigenous rights and can properly and impartially resolve cases regarding those rights.
Rachel Ball is Director of Policy and Campaigns with the Human Rights Law Centre
It is not well-known that the Australian Attorney General presides over a regime under which suspected people smugglers, including children, are detained without charge for significant periods (in some cases, over 12 months) without access to a lawyer or judicial review of their detention.
The vast majority of those detained are young crew-members from impoverished Indonesian fishing villages who had no involvement in the organisation of people smuggling operations.
The Attorney General should act quickly to ensure that these people are afforded immediate access to a lawyer, are brought promptly before a court and are not subject to prolonged and arbitrary pre-charge detention.
Edwina MacDonald is Law Reform and Policy Coordinator with Women's Legal Services NSW
The Attorney should prioritise eliminating violence against women. With one in three Australian women experiencing violence since the age of 15, violence against women is one of Australia's most widespread human rights abuses. The recent amendments to the Family Law Act were a good step but much remains to be done. The Attorney should start by prohibiting discrimination against victims or survivors of domestic violence, implementing the Australian Law Reform Commission's report on Family Violence and establishing an independent monitoring mechanism for the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Children, as recommended throughAustralia's Universal Periodic Review.
