Two dismembered bodies were dumped outside a bar in Acapulco overnight, December 25-26. Acapulco is a resort city in southern Mexico in the state of Guerrero. The state office for public safety reported that the bodies of the unidentified men were found just after midnight at the entrance to a bar called 'Secret' on the south side of the port city. Once favored by jetsetters such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Acapulco has not been favored over the last twenty years besides the current uptick in drug-related violence.
Following a tip, police in Acapulco found the two violated corpses had been dismembered, skinned and left hanging at the entrance of the bar. Two messages were left with the bodies. Drug-related violence has recently spiked in Acapulco, with a resultant drop in tourism. Hoteliers and merchants are concerned.
On December 17, eleven people were kidnapped at the very same bar where the dismembered corpses were found. While two of those abducted have since been found dead, the fate of the remainder is still unknown. Acapulco is 186 miles from Mexico City. In Cuernavaca, which was once the home of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes, the body of a male victim was found on December 26. The man was apparently killed by the South Pacific cartel, a branch of the Beltran Leyva cartel, Morelos state Attorney General's Office spokesmen reported.
Nonetheless, thousands of American tourists are expected to arrive in Acapulco to celebrate the New Year's holiday. Guerrero and neighboring Morelos State have been the scene of a war between the criminal organization led by Edgar Valdez Villarreal, who was arrested by the Federal Police on August 30, and the Beltran Leyva cartel, which is led by Hector Beltran Leyva. Los Zetas, considered Mexico's most violent cartel, and La Familia Michoacana also operate in the area. Beheadings, dismemberment, rape, and even the dissolving of bodies in acid, have been perpetrated by these organizations against each other and members of Mexico's security forces. More than 30,000 people have died in drug-related violence since President Felipe Calderon declared war on Mexico's cartels shortly after taking office in December 2006.
Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly is taking precautions in advance of the Sun Bowl football match-up with the University of Miami on New Years Eve. The game will be held in El Paso TX, just across the border from Juarez. The Mexican city has been the scene of open combat between drug cartel pistoleros and police. The police commissioner was murdered this year, and local merchants have called upon the United Nations to send armed peacekeepers to restore order. Coaches of the two football teams have told their players that they are not to cross the border under any circumstances. Players for U-Miami met with El Paso law enforcement and the FBI upon arrival on December 26 to learn more about the dangers found in Juarez.

Idol Thoughts, the RAWK version
I won't be deleting this epi for a while.
Adam - "Whole Lotta Love" is in my top10 Zeppelin songs of all time. I was disappointed that the bass didn't come in during the second part of the riff. While Adam isn't quite up to par with Robert Plant, he was phenomenal and flawless. I said before, I believe in a comment on Dim's blog, that I wouldn't buy one of Adam's albums, but I'd see him on Broadway. If he did an album like that, I'd buy it. A+
Allison - I love Janis, but I'm not crazy about this song. I prefer "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)". That said, I thought she did a good job, and I'm glad she went with Janis instead of Jefferson Airplane and I'm very glad she didn't do Piece of My Heart. She would have done it up good, but that song has been raped and murdered so many times on the Idol stage by smiling pageant girls (I'm looking at you, Carrie Underwood). A
Kris and Gokey duet - Danny, there's no melisma in Styx. Well, at least not in Tommy Shaw's songs. Loved the harmonies, hated the solos, and I'll admit that Danny was better than Kris. B+
Kris - I liked it and thought he did well on a week that wasn't in his "gendre" (tm Bo Bice). Will it pull him through to next week? Probably not. A-
Gokey - Ummm...Danny does Aerosmith's third single from their first album, released in 1973, and is told by Kara that he should have done an "older" Aerosmith like Cryin' or Crazy (Are those the 2 songs she said? I went a little ballistic after that comment.) which were released on their 11th studio album, in 1993? WTF?! Danny, there is certainly no scatting in Aerosmith. I thought it was pretty meh and he totally screwed up the scream. I think Steven Tyler has some kind of defect that allows him to do that. B
Adam and Allison duet - When I heard they were doing Foghat I was disappointed, but they pulled it out. They both sounded great individually and alone. LOVE them. A+
Will go? Chris
Should go? Gokey

Family id:100158
Location:United Kingdom
This family is registered with our Platinum listings. Interested aupairs please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
– the children are two boys aged 4 and 8
– their interests are: swimming, tennis, football, horse riding, go karting, ice skating, piano, violine, LEGO, trains, cars and dinosaurs. We would be very happy to consider both male and female aupairs who can drive please.
I am Nancy (35) and I have two young children, Noel (8) and Hayden (4). We live in Esher, a suburban area of Greater London and just 14 miles from central London, with our small hamster Jo-Jo. I am a full-time student at university and a play assistant in a local school. I am looking for an Au Pair to assist the children in their day to day family life.
We have a 3 bedroom apartment in a Victorian House with a lovely garden. We live in a river town in the area of South West London (famous for the oldest river sailing club in the United Kingdom, founded in 1870). We are in the countryside, but are 25 minutes from 2 local towns, Wimbledon and Richmond, and only a 20 minute train journey to Central London. The town has its own tennis clubs, schools, shops, pubs and Italian, Spanish and French restaurants with a vibrant active community.
Every day is always different here but daily tasks with the children could include; bringing them to school, picking them up, preparing a light meal, homework, bathing/showering and into pyjamas at night-time, as well as just playing with and entertaining them. We are very active and go out most days to swimming, piano lesson, horse riding, sailing… and you would accompany us in such activities. Noel and Hayden are fantastic happy children and we are looking for a bubbly, energetic and confident Au Pair to become a part of our day to day family life. Spoken English language is essential as the children are young. They sleep well at night, but are early wakers (averagely 6.00am) and so you will need to be a morning person (although you will not be expected to get up with them at this hour). Experience with young children is a huge bonus.
There will be some light housework (but we do have a cleaner) – mostly focused around the children; keeping on-top of the washing and keeping children's rooms clean and tidy/making their beds etc. Cooking for the children would also be required. General cleaning and tidying and laundry.
The hours to be worked will generally be 6:45am- 11:30am and then 5:45pm to 8pm from Monday to Friday but we do ask you to be prepared to be flexible as I do get fluent schedules and these can change week to week. Your normal free days will be Saturday and Sunday.
We are looking for someone to be a part of our day to day family life and a support to me at home with the children in both fun activities and daily routine. We are simply a relaxed and laid back family in need of a little help. We can provide a room and a bathroom that you share with the children. There may also be opportunities to travel within the UK with us on short breaks if that is of interest.
Driver is needed please.

|Somewhere to sit and watch the world go by.
Image from http://betterdecoratingbible.com/2013/02/08/window-seats-–-why-everyone-should-have-one/
I'm learning a lot about myself doing this 30 Day Blog Challenge by The Suitcase Entrepreneur!
Most surprisingly is that I'm not actually as far off from where I want to be as I thought I was! There are many tweaks to be made, but really, there are many things in my life that are what I want them to be! All I had to do was really look closely and SEE what I have rather than what I have not. And now that I have done so, the next step is to focus on those tweaks to make it better than it already is!
What an amazing discovery? :-)
So Day 6's topic to address is:
What are my THREE priorities for the next 30 days that will move me closer to living my life on my own terms?
The tip here is to aim high, but achievable!
It seems that the best place to begin to answer this, is to identify what isn't as I want it to be in my life so that I know where to invest my energies for the next 30 days. It is never too much fun to face up to what isn't working, but here goes...
Money... Things have improved vastly in the past 6 months. But they can be better. Focusing on creating additional streams of income (permanent or temporary it does not matter) will definitely help other aspects of my lifestyle improve.
Creativity... Ahhh creativity... How I long for you but never really give myself permission enough to immerse myself in you. Lack of time, self doubt, lack of space to spread out, limited knowledge of how to create what I have in my imagination, waiting for its chance to be real. So many excuses... If I want to be creative, I have to jumpin and BE CREATIVE. It seems so simple!
And finally, my third life area to focus on that will propel me toward the life that I want to live I think would have to be HOME. I feel that my home currently holds me captive in many ways. It is not as conducive to being creative as I'd like. There are many things on that "Honey Do" list. There are things that just don't belong and take up valuable space and thought time that they simply do not deserve. Recreating my home may well have an incredible positive spin on giving me more freedom in life to enjoy other aspects.
I could name a fourth aspect but That may well be asking too much and spreading my focus too thin, so I shall keep this one under wraps. Its time will come. By focusing on just 3 aspects for 30 days, I can see, will give momentum. I want it all, I want it now. But that attitude never pans out the way we want. So, Pace Yourself!
What I wasn't isn't as far as I thought it was... I need to keep reminding myself of that fact!

On 16 June 2015 the High-Level Independent Panel on United Nations Peace Operations presented its report to the UN Secretary General. The Panel was established by the Secretary General in October 2014 to make a comprehensive assessment of the state of UN peace operations today, and the emerging needs of the future. The report marks an important step in the review and reform of peace operations, coming 15 years after the Brahimi Report.
Ian Martin, a member of the High-Level Independent Panel, was the key note speaker at an event hosted by the United Nations Association of Sweden and the Swedish National Defence College's International Law Centre on 2 February 2015 entitled "United Nations Peace Operations - Global Prospects and Local Challenges".
A copy of the report presented to the Secretary General is available here. A press release is available here.

The participants were all mostly (graphic) designers or with a serious penchant for paper. They dove into their projects and came out like semi-pros.
I was lucky to have done this workshop at friends studio/store Papê. I really like this location for the little things, like the mix of cultures, small business mindset and neighbor's laundry hanging out to dry above your head as you walk through the typically small streets opening out onto larger more trafficked ones.
The theme of the workshop was "Carattere in Cucina" or Characters in the Kitchen. For the workshop I made each participant a Typo folder to carry their goods home in. Plain grey heavy stock was folded over, printed on with big bold wooden letters then spray painted in gold and held together with ribbon.

Scottish news bulletin: 24th February 2009
- Reform Scotland
- 24 February 2009
All newspaper references refer to Scottish editions. Where there is a link to a newspaper's website, the relevant page reference is blue and underlined.
RBS: Shares in RBS rose yesterday after its chief executive proposed a radical restructuring of the bank which would see it split into a "good bank" and a "bad bank". There was speculation that this could provide a model for other crisis-hit banks. (Scotsman page 9, Herald page 32, Times page 8, P&J page 10).
Lloyds Banking Group: The Chancellor is reportedly preparing to drop the £480m interest charge on a taxpayer-funded loan in order to ease pressure on the bank (FT page 1).
Rape Trial: A woman who was placed overnight in jail for running out of court while giving evidence in a rape trial has called for the judge who presided over the case to be sacked. Ann Robertson was arrested for failing to provide testimony (Scotsman page 16).
Edinburgh Trams: The completion date for the tram project could be delayed by up to 70 weeks due to delays in moving underground pipes and cables. It is also reported that costs could increase significantly on the second phase of the network (Scotsman page 1, Herald page 7, Times page 18, Telegraph page 2).
Blood Inquiry: There were calls for the expansion of the Scottish inquiry into why contaminated blood products were given to thousands of NHS patients after the publication of a separate inquiry in England. Currently the inquiry does not have the power to compel witnesses to give evidence (Herald page 6).
First Minister in Washington DC: Alex Salmond became the first Scottish First Minister to meet the US Secretary of State yesterday. He had a 25-minute meeting with Mrs Clinton to discuss the environment and the Saltire prize (Scotsman page 8, Times page 8, Telegraph page 1, Courier page 1, Herald page 1).
Power lines: The former chairman of Scottish Power has called for the Scottish Government to consider an alternative plan to upgrade the power line from Beauly to Denny, which would avoid placing cables in the Great Glen (Scotsman page 19).
Royal Mail: The Business Department has released a letter from the Chairman of the Royal Mail pension fund to Lord Mandelson which warned that staff may lose up to half of their entitlement if the part privatisation does not go ahead. Over 100 Labour MPs have signed a motion saying they are opposed to the plan (Guardian page 2, Herald page 1, Times page 1).
Glenrothes electoral register: The Electoral Commission has expressed concern that the record of those who voted in last year's Glenrothes by-election has been lost. However, it said that the election was generally run well (Herald page 10).
Opinion poll: A new Guardian/ICM poll finds that only 28% of voters think Gordon Brown is the leader most likely to attract support for Labour at the next election; 63% think Labour would do better with another leader. The poll gives the Conservatives a 12-point lead over Labour (Guardian page 1).
Reform Scotland is an independent, non-party think tank that aims to set out a better way to deliver increased economic prosperity and more effective public services based on the traditional Scottish principles of limited government, diversity and personal responsibility.

If you can believe it, it's that time of the year again! We have found the last 12 months have flown, as at Kiwi Recruitment Agency in Chichester we've had an extremely busy and eventful year. From helping local West Sussex businesses find effective temporary staff to new arrivals and award wins, it's certainly been a fun-filled time with plenty of successes.
Throughout the past 12 months, we have worked with many fantastic West Sussex businesses, such as Goodwood, Plush Tents and SI Protech. Our aim was finding these companies flexible and responsible temporary staff, who will help them with the seasonal demand. We have enjoyed working with local businesses and being able to help them to create a strong support team – we wish them all the best for 2017!
One of this year's key highlights, was when we won Start-Up Business of the Year at the Chichester and Observer Gazette Business Awards. It was a complete surprise, but we were honoured to have won after all of the team's hard work.
Writing about local businesses, it's also been one year since we started working with Marketing and PR company, Shotgun PR, who are also based in Chichester, West Sussex. Director Kylee and her team have helped us create consistent content on our website and social media, so we can keep you in the loop with regular updates and career advice.
Of course, we have to mention there have been some new faces who have joined our team: Jenny Oliva; an experienced commercial Recruitment Consultant and most recently, Sharon Hodgetts, who is our Temp Consultant. Welcome to the team, guys!
If you haven't noticed, we went barbeque mad over the summer and now have a devoted page to barbequing! We challenged you to take a photo that perfectly described summer—and you guys did not disappoint. You sent us your pics of melty ice-creams, chilling on the beach and walks in the summer sunshine. Honestly, we were quite jealous when we received them in the office! The winner, Andrew Clarke, won a prize of £50 worth of meats from May's Butchers—well done! Remember to keep checking our Facebook for upcoming competitions…
We also had some fantastic news, as Director, Brendon Cooke, announced a new Baby Kiwi! Say hello to little Jesse, who will no doubt become a BBQ King like his Father.
We would like to say a big thank you to all the candidates and businesses who we have met and worked with—it's been an amazing year and a pleasure working with you all. In 2017, we hope to continue producing excellent results for our clients and applicants!
For West Sussex businesses, we know that a new year means new staff. Recruiting new staff may have been something you have put on the backburner, whether Christmas came around too fast or you might still be deciding the type of employee you wish to hire. If you are needing some recruitment help, please get in touch with a member of our team through our website or via our Facebook page. We will be happy to answer any questions and start your business' recruitment process today.

"On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me... Seven Swans A-Swimming".
I spent 2 years in England as a young girl, one of which was on the Isle of Wight living aboard a refurbished Norwegian fishing schooner called "Nylund". (For more info click on my parents' website Clarks Maritime.)
{ Nylund under full sail }
I remember the swans around the Isle of Wight and they weren't much friendlier than the geese I've encountered. However, they do look beautiful & are a good starting off point for gift suggestions. So here goes...
Pier One has some glass swan ornaments that would look lovely in bird-themed tree.
{ swan ornaments }
{ both images above from Country Living }
Or would your true love enjoy a getaway to Victoria & Swans Hotel? Located near Chinatown & Market Square, Swans is a great spot to make your homebase while in Victoria.
{ Swans ~ early 1900's }
{ Swans present day }
{ View from Swans out to Victoria's Inner Harbour }
I have a soft spot for Etsy & have sourced artwork from various Etsy shops that would suit our swan theme. This one from BalletArt shows incredible movement in it's rough grace:
{ Black & White Swan }
This one from Ching Levy Studio is peaceful & calming & would suit a library or den or a spot where your recipient would sit & read with a cup of tea:
{ Swan Lake I }
Sweet without being sickly so, this print from The Black Apple is one of many of Emily's creations I would love for a child's room.
{ Springtime Parade }
There is also this vintage image which I found at LabelStone in magnet form. Perfect for a stocking stuffer but a larger image would be wonderful framed in a kitchen, pantry, cottage or cabin.
{ White Swan Canning Label }
An inexpensive digital download from Found Objects provides you with a 8"x5" image you can print onto hand towels, fabric for pillows, whatever your heart desires! Could be used as a theme for an upcoming wedding or milestone birthday invites.
{ French Swan No 22 Rue Jolie }
For the hard to buy, funky types this retro Swans travel bag may be just the thing:
{ book bag or carry-all }
And last but certainly not least, if an Aston Martin is good enough for James Bond it's good enough for me ~ Aston Martin's new 4-seater:
{ The Cygnet }
Does the apartment building pictured & Daniel Craig come with??!!

A: A longer lease has the advantage of being both more mortgageable and more attractive in the market. A leasehold flat whose term has significantly reduced (say to below 50 years) is a wasting asset, and extending its lease term is essential to preserve the value.
The Government in the recent Housing White Paper states its intention to promote transparency and fairness for the growing number of leaseholders within the UK. There is an appetite to streamline the application for a lease term extension and possibly address unfair lease terms.
By law and subject to meeting the relevant criteria, for example owning your flat for two years, a leaseholder can, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (1993 Act), apply to the landlord for a lease term extension.
A leaseholder is entitled to 90 years in addition to the term left on the lease (in your case therefore 177 years), with no monetary ground rent payable. But in your case, there is an additional incentive, namely that a lesser premium is payable to the landlord for a lease term extension where the lease has more than 80 years left to run at the date when the claim is made.
Extending your lease ahead of selling your property or re–mortgaging will put you in a better position so that your landlord cannot take an unfair advantage and pursue a higher premium where a leaseholder is under pressure to raise finance or sell the flat. Recently a few lenders have amended their lending criteria to insist the remaining term of a lease is minimum of 85 years, it is important to keep your lease length topped up using the 1993 Act right.
You may have seen press coverage about the impact that a rising ground rent provision has on the premium payable to the landlord for a lease term extension. The amount of ground rent that a landlord receives under the terms of the lease forms part of the calculation of the premium payable for a lease term extension.
As a result, particular attention should be paid to the ground rent payable under the terms of that lease. For example, a lease that contains an initial ground rent of £250 to double every ten years over a period of a 125 year lease, may on the face of it seem harmless but by the fifth or sixth rent review i.e. 50 to 60 years' time passing ground rent is £8–16,000 respectively. The capitalisation of this rising income stream can significantly raise the price for an extended lease.
You can also, of course offer to explore with your landlord the possibility of granting you a lease term extension on terms negotiated directly between yourself. One can often see 999 year leases granted in these circumstances.

Still about our roadshow project, the second city which we visited was Purwokerto. If at the previous roadshow we visited vocational high school, in Purwokerto we visited polytechnic named STT Telematika Telkom Purwokerto. We only spent 2 days here, the first day we met with the director to discuss about polytechnic curriculum then giving Android training to the lecturers.
The next day was the college students's turn who got Android training from us. Some of them joined because Android was new to them, and some of them were familiar with android even working on the final project to create a mobile application using Android.

MicroTech would like to send their congratulations to the Washington Captials on winning the Stanley Cup for the first time in their franchise's 44 year history.

US, as the production from renewable is growing
The contribution of clean energy electricity production in U.S. is rapidly Increasing: 6.1% more for the hydroelectric and 10% for the other renewables.
In agreement with the analysis made by the Sun Day Campaign to the latest data published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a division of U.S. Department of Energy report "Electric Power Monthly" shows that the stars and stripes area is significantly increasing in national electricity production for the period November 2007 - November 2008 of renewable energy.
This is an increase especially important considering the decrease recorded at the same time period from coal and nuclear, respectively 2.7% and less than 2.3%.
According to EIA the production of renewable energy, including hydroelectric and conventional industry, has increased by 7.3%, with the wind once again as the best. The report estimate shows, in fact, as in 12 months the wind energy production has increased by 42.4%, with peaks of generation in Texas, California, Minnesota, and Illinois.

My first official YouTube video on my new channel..
It's not brilliant, it's not cleverly edited or amazingly shot but its out there in vlog land. As much as I love writing I have wanted to dip my toes into vlogging for quite some time now and I am excited to produce more videos and grow my new channel. I will no doubt be roped into some of Aallys Youtube videos along the way too!
I would love it if you could pop over to my new channel and give me a thumbs up or even better hit that subscribe button. I have lots planned and you will definitely be seeing more of me (and my sidekick no doubt)
If you do have any younger ones at home that are YT users themselves then Aally has a very entertaining all be it crazy channel if they fancy popping a sub her way..
So here it is. The 40 second video that got me all a fluster! Why was I so nervous eh?
Until next time..

Little by little, we are reaching the end of the Camí de Cavalls that we have been walking since our blog began. Today's section crosses the last ravines in the south of the island, entering the flatter area of the east. Although it is one of the longest stretches, it runs along quite flat roads with relatively easy walking. The starting point is in the wetland area of Cala'n Porter, where you can see the vegetation which typically grows in sand, for example : the sea lily. From here you leave the beach and pass a paved area. You ascend to the east by the urbanisation of Cala'n Porter. Following the road, you reach the Calascoves ravine. If you have time, we advise you to go down to the beach at Calascoves and visit the Talayotic necropolis – it is highly recommended. Composed of more than ninety burial caves carved into the cliffs above the sea, one of them, the Cave of Es Jurats, is a sanctuary from the Imperial Roman era. An essential visit as we have already said.
From Calascoves the road climbs again a little, passing between areas of cultivation and pasture that alternate with the woods of wild olive trees, the typical mosaic landscape of the Menorcan countryside. After three kilometers, we will find the second ravine, Es Canutells. It is a small ravine but its unique elm forest is surprising. At this point, we will almost have travelled half the distance today without much effort.
Following this section, we will go up to the urbanisation of Es Canutells and continue along the road until we almost reach the road to Binidalí. At this point, the path crosses the Biniparratx ravine and continues across the Menorcan landscape to Binisafuller, where we go back to the car so as to finish up at Es Caló Blanc, a small picture postcard cove with white sand – we described this beach in the blog about the most romantic coves on Menorca.
Distance: 11.8 km
Estimated time with stops at interesting points: 4 hours and a half
Difficulty: Easy

It seems to be a big day for movie photos with two more popping up online, both first looks at animated work from two major studios. First up comes the first shot from "Piper," the new Alan Barillaro-directed animated short that will accompany Disney and Pixar's "Finding Dory" opening June 17th. The six-minute short is about a hungry baby sandpiper learning to overcome hydrophobia.
Then there's a first look photo from Guillermo del Toro and DreamWorks Animation's "Trollhunters". Originally set up at Disney, the animated feature has been penned and directed by del Toro who based it on a young-adult book he developed almost a decade ago.
The story is set in a fantastical world wrapped around the residents of the fictional suburb of Arcadia who make a startling discovery that the world beneath their hometown is as vast and mind-blowing as anything on the surface. del Toro has served as executive producer on several DWA films but this is his first directorial effort for them.

Defense Contractor Compensation Online
WASHINGTON (CN) – Defense and space contractors will have to disclose on a public website the compensation of their five highest paid executives and every subcontract worth more than $25,000, under new rules adopted by three agencies.
Under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the DoD, General Services Administration and NASA operated a pilot public reporting website for federal awards of $25,000 or more on contracts worth more than $500 million. The pilot program was terminated in 2009, but the agencies proposed a permanent program in 2010 with full implementation by 2012.
Under the permanent program, any award for a contract or subcontract greater than $25,000 must be disclosed and the total compensation of each of the five highest paid executives for the recipient must be disclosed by the end of the month following the month the award was made.
Reporting of executive compensation is only required for contractors and first tier subcontractors that receive more than $25 million in federal awards per year and receive 80 percent of their annual gross revenue from federal sources.
The income thresholds include amounts from all federal awards not just the DoD and NASA.
The rules go into effect Aug. 27.

The pope accepted the resignation of a Chilean bishop who is under investigation by the Vatican for the alleged sexual abuse of a minor. The resignation of Bishop Marco Antonio Ordenes Fernandez of Iquique, Chile, marks one of the few times that the Vatican has acknowledged publicly that it was investigating a bishop for sex abuse allegations. Advocates for clerical sex abuse victims have long complained that the Vatican has looked the other way when bishops have been accused of abuse or of covering it up.
Kansas City Bishop Convicted of Shielding Pedophile Priest - First American Bishop Convicted
A Roman Catholic bishop was found guilty on Thursday of failing to report suspected child abuse, becoming the first American bishop in the decades-long sexual abuse scandal to be convicted of shielding a pedophile priest.
Philadelphia Monsignor Imprisoned for Covering Up Child Sex Abuse in Catholic Church
Monsignor William Lynn, the highest-ranking clergyman convicted in the U.S. Roman Catholic Church scandal, was sentenced on Tuesday to up to six years in prison for covering up child sex abuse by priests in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Priest Trial Refocuses Abuse Scandal - Protecting abusive priests by moving them
Clerical Abusers and the First Amendment
Religious institutions have constitutional protections, but they are not above the law. Unfortunately, that has not stopped the Roman Catholic Church and other religious groups from arguing that the First Amendment shields them from civil lawsuits for negligent supervision and retention of employees who sexually abuse children. Most state courts that have considered the issue have rejected this claim by churches, recognizing that holding religious employers liable for failure to monitor employees in sex-abuse cases does not interfere with constitutionally protected religious freedoms. However, courts in Missouri, Wisconsin and Utah have twisted the First Amendment into a shield for organizational liability for pedophile clergy. In an outrageous case, a Missouri appellate court summarily dismissed a negligence case brought against the Archdiocese of St. Louis by an individual who said he had been abused by a priest. His suit charged the archdiocese with negligent failure to supervise the priest, who had a past record of child sexual abuse. The court threw out the complaint, saying that Missouri law does not allow it because judging the supervision of the priest would require inquiry into religious doctrine, which it contends would violate the First Amendment. This bizarre conclusion would grant churches a special exemption from neutral, generally applicable laws designed to protect children. The United States Supreme Court now has an opportunity to reverse this erroneous interpretation of the Constitution. The justices should grant the plaintiff's petition for review, which they are scheduled to consider on Friday. Since some 20 states have not ruled on this issue, the Supreme Court can provide urgently needed clarity. It should firmly declare that the First Amendment does not exempt religious entities from accountability for exposing children to harm. THE NEW YORK TIMES, Editorial - March 14, 2012
Hartford diocese Found Negligent in Abuse Case
A jury determined Friday that the Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford should pay $1 million in damages to a former altar boy who was sexually abused by a priest decades ago, ruling that the church was reckless and negligent in allowing a known pedophile to have access to children.
Priest Abuse Trial: Judge Blocks Testimony From Church's Expert Witness
Lawsuit Against Hartford Archdiocese Involves Its Response To Child Sex Abuse 30 Years Ago A judge on Thursday said the Catholic Church cannot defend itself from a priest sex abuse case by arguing that its response to the abuse -- considered by many to be inappropriate now -- was generally accepted when the abuse occurred 30 years ago.
Church Abuse Defense Leads To Clash With The Faithful
In its effort to defend itself from an accusation of sexual abuse by one of its priests, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hartford collided in court Friday with one of the unflinchingly obedient Catholic families that form its core. The retired parents of an altar boy took the witness stand and described the day they were shaken by their by-then grown son's disclosure that a priest, known to the family for years, abused him and his best friend while the boys attended a diocesan grammar school in Derby.

Duct Tape Nukkie
6 comments:
Abby, Abby, Abby...from her I'd expect no less! Can't wait to read more.ReplyDelete
See you at lunch!
How cute! Perhaps if she can speak and understand that well she would be willing to make a trade. Samuel traded his nukie for a watch, yes, at 2 years that is what he wanted most. And Isaak traded for a flashlight. I can't remember what we did for Grace. But with all of them it worked well!ReplyDelete
Wendy, I have long awaited your vast knowledge to be put into writing! :) So so excited for more! You have MUCH to offer!!ReplyDelete
That is hillarious. Well, with Thorin, we went cold turkey. He turned two and all the binkies disappeared. Naps and sleep were difficult for about two days then he was fine. But every kid is different, we just went with the dictator approach. It worked for us!ReplyDelete
Give her a roll of duct tape and see if she can work it out for herself.ReplyDelete
I think we're going to do the cold turkey thing. Just need to decide when I want to have the rough few days...ReplyDelete

800-348-5194 (Toll Free in WY)
I was recently reading a synopsis of a government contracting solicitation on FedBizOpps, and I noticed that it said "All responsible small business sources may submit a bid, which if submitted in a timely manner, will be considered." This got me thinking, what exactly (precision matters greatly in government contracting) is a "responsible" contractor? I mean, I had a general sense of it - a firm that could perform the work - but if someone pushed me to define it during a presentation, could I? I wasn't so sure, so I went to the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations).
The FAR, specifically FAR 2.101, definitions, is the place to start when you're trying to figure out what a government contracting term means. Here (scroll down, the terms are alphabetical), we find that a responsible prospective contractor means a contractor that meets the standards in 9.104. This is a typical FAR experience – a wild goose chase, jumping from place to place in search of the answer. FAR 9.104 summarized here (but do read the full text for details) indicates that in order to be determined responsible, a contractor must have:
• Financial capacity - adequate financial resources to perform the contract
• Technical capacity - the necessary experience, accounting and operational controls, technical skills, equipment, and facilities to perform the contract
• A satisfactory record of past performance
• Ethics and integrity
How does a contracting officer determine if your company meets these criteria? Starting with ethics, the first question is whether your firm has been suspended or debarred from working with the federal government. FAR 9.405 requires contracting officers to review the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS), to ensure that no award is made to a listed contractor. The contracting officer will probably also check the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), which pulls proceedings information from the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database and suspension/disbarment information from EPLS. It also provides information that federal agency representatives have entered about contract terminations, defective pricing, prior non-responsibility determinations, and other serious issues. As a contractor, you also provide ethics information in your Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA). If no negative information is found, your firm will likely pass muster on ethics.
Next, the contracting officer will evaluate your past performance. FAR 15.304(c)(3)(i) states that "past performance shall be evaluated in all source selections for negotiated competitive acquisitions expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold." Past performance is probably also the best way for a contracting officer to evaluate your firm's technical capability. Why? If your firm has done a similar project before, it can probably do it again. The contracting officer may ask you for references, and they will check the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), which provides "report cards" on how your firm has performed on most contracts of $100,000 or more. Contracting officers will consider your past performance on private sector work by checking your references if you have never done the same type of work for the government. As a contractor, you definitely want to be aware of the information that is contained about your business in FAPIIS and PPIRS.
Financial capacity can be more challenging to assess. A contracting officer may consider the size of the projects your firm has completed, request your current financial statements, ask to speak to your banker to verify your access to capital, check your bonding capacity (construction firms), and/or pull your business credit report from D&B.
What happens if a contracting officer determines that your business is not responsible? They must specify the elements of responsibility they found lacking, and refer the matter to the appropriate U.S Small Business Administration (SBA) office. The SBA will contact you, and offer you a chance to apply for a Certificate of Competency (COC, FAR 19.602) to show that you are capable of performing the contract. If the SBA issues a COC, the contracting officer is generally required to accept it.
How do you become a responsible contractor? Begin with smaller projects and develop a strong past performance record. Work with your lender to increase your access to capital. Explore opportunities to joint venture with more experienced firms. For free & confidential assistance, contact the Wyoming PTAC team.
Are you a responsible contractor? Has a contracting officer ever challenged your firm on responsibility?

It is a situation that many people have faced in their lives – at least one time. You were minding your own business and going about your day, but you were involved in an accident or incident that left you injured. Maybe someone threw something and it accidentally hit you. Maybe you were run over by a car while walking or biking. Or maybe you were the victim of a product that did not work as it was intended. These are all bad situations. Whether you ended up needing stitches, a cast or surgery, it is not good to face such a moment.
But what is an even bigger issue is that you would have needed to spend money. Even with insurance, you needed to spend money to see a doctor or go to the ER. And then you have follow up appointments, medicines and other things that will cost money. You may even need to take a few days off your job if you were not feeling your best. These are just some of the things that can happen. And it is the reason why we believe that you should react to a personal injury situation by contacting a lawyer from a firm like https://heidelbergerlaw.com.
When you hire an attorney, it means that you are protecting your interests. That is what it is about. You are not doing this to be mean to someone else or to financially bankrupt a business. That is not your idea. What you are doing is getting the compensation that you deserve. You suffered and you had to spend money because someone else messed up. It is on them, not you. And it is the reason why a lawyer would gladly help you to get the compensation that you are entitled to receive. Just make sure you are 100 percent honest with them about the events that led to your injury.
It is common for people to exaggerate in this situation. Maybe you think that if you play up your injuries, you will get more money. But it does not work that way. In fact, lying makes it worse. They will get your medical records and they will know precisely how badly you are hurt. So do not lie to your lawyer or the other party about anything. If you are 100 percent open and honest, you have a much better chance of the case going in your favor. You may not even have to go to court!

Haiti: Day Two
The posts that follow are a brief description of daily events surrounding an organized trip to Haiti in the summer of 2010. There were 12 of us total plus one reporter from the Daily Journal in Farmington, MO. I have relayed each post as it was written in my journal so please overlook any grammatical errors or crazy talk. I will also try to include pictures along the way.
Tuesday, July 6th
We woke at approximately 5:15am – it was already light outside and lots of activity – chickens, cars, people…to name just a few. It was shower time and I know there wasn't any hot water, but DANG! The water in the morning was COLD! It was a quick shower, but definitely needed.
Dressed and back at the tent we found several good-sized holes in the ground right outside our tents. Guess what? Tarantula holes! And yes, they housed live ones! they didn't like to come out, but occasionally they did come out and I was able to snap a few pictures. Pretty crazy to see them in the "wild" sort of speak. Later they told us to go ahead and kill them. They will bite and I guess it swells up and is pretty painful.
Breakfast is at 7am every morning. There is also a generator that runs a few hours three times a day, usually around meals. Breakfast today was some sort of egg concoction with some fresh bread. Pretty decent. the cooks are extremely nice and do a great job. Unfortunately today there was no coffee, but they promised some tomorrow.
After breakfast we had a short devotional time and a time of prayer – a great way to start the day!
Today it was decided that we would stay at camp and build two "quadro-poopers" as we affectionately called them. They will be four bathrooms (2 guys/2 girls) in an 8′ x 8′ building:
Finding the proper tools was interesting. We brought several saws and other tools which was a lifesaver. Otherwise you make do with what you can find. Electricity was supplied by the generator today – they left it running all day for us to work.
By the way – there are several other groups that stay here. Some that are interesting. One group is building a small housing structure out front of our compound. It's a new type of structure designed for hurricanes. It's made primarily out of styrofoam with hardened panels. I think they are trying to sell them down here. But hey – if it helps the people then it's probably a win/win for everyone.
Okay – back to our work. Matt and I cut most of the wood today. The wood is actual 2 x 4's – full size instead of the smaller ones we have in the U.S. Other guys were framing walls and then we had a roof structure. We had to build things in sections because it has to be transported to the land later. Not sure if we'll move them or not. It will depend on how much we get done at the land (hopefully tomorrow).
After a quick lunch (rice and beans and some sort of meat – goat? – and then a red sauce. There was also cabbage, but I passed on the cabbage) we were back at the building project. We ended up building two structures (8 bathrooms total) ready to be assembled. There was a thin plywood on the sides and they will add the roofs later.
Several of us made a quick walk down to the local gas station. What an interesting journey! Of course everyone looked at us strangely, but most were friendly and some even waved at us. This (Leogane) was similar to Port-au-Prince but not as busy. Still lots of trash, broken down homes and vendors on the street. And of course, don't get close to the road or you'll probably get run over!
The gas station was very cool. It had AC inside – schweet! There were lots of "American" items for sale. The girls bought chocolate bars but the guys didn't get anything. the money rate is approximately 8 Haitian Dollars (Goulds) to 1 U.S. Dollar. They also had things like corn flakes, SPAM and lots of baby products.
It got dark at 6:30pm again followed by dinner at 7pm. Tonight's course was "Pumpkin Soup" – pretty interesting and was okay to eat. It had pumpkin pieces, cabbage, noodles and the "mystery meat" again. Not a bad meal, but not my favorite either.
After dinner everyone was exhausted so we headed to bed at 8pm! Some of the guys took Nyquil to help them sleep but I went without any. Unfortunately I didn't sleep very well! About an hour into bed I had to go pee, but decided to wait it out because a storm rolled in and it was raining again. I finally woke up about 4am and head to the nearby woods for some relief. 🙂 Probably not the smartest thing that early in the morning, but Jake obviously had to pee as well since he found a spot nearby. Ha! I went back in to bed and slept pretty decent and finally got up at 6:30am. More tomorrow!
PS – I remembered my fan – what a blessing! I just hope it lasts for a few more days before running out of battery!

Team & Individual Challenges
Learning to take on different roles at different times
The ability to work well as a team involves interacting and communicating with others, understanding goals and priorities, and being able to contribute to a shared purpose.
No matter what aspect of life we look at, it is crucial that we be able to take on different roles at different times. Sometimes we have to be a team player, other times a leader and sometimes are expected to work well on our own. We include team and individual challenges in our programmes to support the children in learning the importance of leadership and collaboration, self-discipline, working both independently and collaboratively, learning to listen, when to negotiate, when to compromise and when to stand firm.
Participating in team challenges helps children to develop a greater sense of social competency as they learn to listen, interpret and respond to their peers' needs. Team challenges also build negotiation techniques helping children to satisfy their own needs, as well as those of other team members.
Children also learn to reflect on their individual experience versus the experience of the team. Individual Challenges
Setting children individual challenges helps them to learn a great deal about themselves. For example, how they like to work. Some children enjoy working independently while others prefer a more structured environment. Individual challenges also help children to learn whether they work well at their own pace or work better when encouraged by others. Self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-regulation are key capabilities all children should acquire.
Skills Clubs at Skill Supply
Skill Clubs provided by Skill Supply are holiday clubs with a difference. They are exciting, challenging, unusual and most of all fun.
Challenge 4 Change
Challenge 4 Change is a charity whose aim is to help individuals by removing barriers and building stronger communities, forging links between the diverse groups that make up each community. C4C provide team building courses to enable people to acquire skills, knowledge and understanding of both themselves and others through experience in a unique and engaging way. They have a fantastic indoor training facility in Manchester with an arena equipped with many different ground level challenges, including an assault course and tyre pit. Oh, and it even has a real prison cell!
Kids in Space
Kids in Space through its Engaging Young Minds programme aims to Inspire, Engage, and Motivate young people through the medium of outer-space and related technology. Kids in Space runs tailored workshops for Camp Evolution that develop the creative, imaginative and problem-solving abilities of our young people.

While countless images of homemade Thanksgiving treats made the rounds on social media this week, it was White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' pie that ruffled feathers.
On Thanksgiving Day, Sanders shared an image of her pie on Twitter with the caption, "I don't cook much these days, but managed this Chocolate Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving at the family farm!"
Advertisement - story continues below
But April Ryan, a White House correspondent from American Urban Radio Networks and a political analyst for CNN, doubted Sanders had actually baked the pie.
"Show it to use on a table," Ryan tweeted in response to Sanders.

Perhaps due to the fact that the pie was featured against a white background, many on Twitter seemed to share Ryan's sentiments.

Some users chimed in to say they believed the photo was really a stock image. A few people used stock photos to make their own humorous holiday claims.
Despite a widespread rumor that the image originally came from PBS, no evidence has been offered to support that claim. According to Gizmodo, a reverse image search reveals Sanders was the first to upload the image online.
After the public responded, Ryan was back on the case, lightheartedly asking for another image of the pie.

"I am not trying to be funny but folks are already saying #piegate and #fakepie Show it to us on the table with folks eating it and a pic of you cooking it. I am getting the biggest laugh out of this. I am thankful for this laugh on Black Friday!" she tweeted.
Sanders responded to the controversy with an offer to bake another pie for Ryan next week.

David W. Sanders, the press secretary's brother-in-law, also decided to weigh in on the matter, saying he had conducted an interview to verify the origin of the pie.
"Breaking on #piegate can verify based on multiple interviews that sis-in-law did bake pie and that it was 'yummy,'" he tweeted.

In a separate reply to Ryan, David Sanders added that he asked the press secretary's daughter about the matter, though she declined "further comment as Paw Patrol was on."

Aloha, and welcome to the TIKI TROUBLE graphic storybook.
First, I want to say mahalo and thank you to the Kickstarter community for making the initial printing of this book a reality.
TIKI TROUBLE is a story of heroic transformation. When a phobia-plagued insurance adjuster, Brewster Williams, is shanghaied to a remote South Seas island, an evil shaman's curse turns him into a one foot-high Tiki doll. Brewster must fight against all fear to save a pair of native princesses in order to switch his body back. The book is designed for an estimated 48 pages of heart-warming, humorous and adventure-filled visual storytelling art, displayed in a luscious large format hardcover book with over-sized pages of illustrated storytelling. Designed to be in the vein of those beautiful large illustrated storybooks of the 1950's.
We wanted to go back to that beautiful format of those gorgeous over-sized golden books from the 1950's, and not only enjoy the story and the characters, but also immerse ourselves in the visual exploration of this adventure through a large format book. So that's what we want to do here. The story will fit into this beautiful hardback illustrated book for all ages.
The story and art for this original special project are already being produced, based on one of our feature film scripts that has been developed. I have been entrenched in the animation and filmmaking industry for over 20 years. I know – and many of you may know – what a monumental task it is to launch a feature film. So we want to share this story with the world in a format that we can make available right now.
Looking forward to the storybook but can't wait for some Tiki content?
Check out the now available Visual Development Art book to tide you over.
Glimpse some behind-the-scenes visual development artwork, a collection of sketches and storyboards along with a plethora of character beats including a test piece of character animation. The art here represents elements that make up the original story entitled "Tiki Trouble." At its inception, "Tiki Trouble" began as a short story passion project that grew into a large multi-part adventure series that ultimately expanded into a feature film script. This "art of" book includes numerous story moments and variations that the project's storytelling process undertook. A version of the tale is being produced as an illustrated adventure book thanks to the wonderful backers of "Tiki Trouble"! Hope you enjoy this exclusive "art of" book.

goat cheese and onion confit tart with smoked bacon
we recently served this to friends and it was a hit...
puff pastry (store bought)
2-3 slices of smoked bacon or lardon (optional)
2 large onions
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1-2 tbsp butter
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper
1 tsp chopped thyme
slice the bacon about 1", saute until some of the fat has rendered and set aside.
thinly slice onions. set pan on high heat and add butter. let butter melt then add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt, tossing so that the butter coats all of the onion slices. cook on high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occassionally. add the balsamic vinegar and sugar; turn the heat down to medium and cover (turn the heat down further if the onions are turning too brown). stir every now and then. cook for about 30 - 45 minutes until the onions are soft and have a jam-like consistency. season with salt and pepper. let cool before using.
while the onions are cooking, thaw the puff pastry at room temperature. when the pastry is ready, unfold pastry on lightly floured surface and roll. score within an inch of the edge of the pastry and place on a baking sheet. spread the onions on the pastry and top with goat cheese. sprinkle with thyme and the reserved bacon, if using.
preheat oven to 400. bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. serve warm or at room temperature with a mixed-green salad and a glass of wine. enjoy!
serves 6 - 8.

Do not let an employer tell you that you cannot have workers' compensation for an injury that you suffered while on the job. According the New Hampshire Department of Labor, employers have to have this insurance in place. You should be able to get financial compensation that can help you in many different ways after you are hurt.
For example, your medical bills will be covered by workers' compensation. If you have seen news stories about how expensive medical care can be, leaving some people in debt for the rest of their lives after surgeries and car accidents, you may have been nervous that a work-related injury would put you in the same place. You do not have to be concerned, as your employer worker's compensation should cover you.
Many injuries can keep you out of work, though, which can be a huge problem if you can't get your hourly wages. Even if your medical costs are covered, how are you supposed to pay for things like the mortgage, your utilities or the bills just for putting food on the table?
If your injury is such that you have to be out of work for over three days, workers' compensation will help to cover that, as well. It does not pay all of your wages, but you should get 60 percent of what you would have made.
When you are hurt, it really pays to know just who needs to pay for all of the costs associated with your injury. You should also be sure that you know what steps to take to get that compensation.

I, of whom I know nothing, I know my eyes are open, because of the tears that pour from them unceasingly.
To decompose is to live too, I know, I know, don't torment me, but one sometimes forgets. And of that life too I shall tell you perhaps one day, the day I know that when I thought I knew I was merely existing and that passion without form or stations will have devoured me down to the rotting flesh itself and that when I know that I know nothing, am only crying out as I have always cried out, more or less piercingly, more or less openly. Let me cry out then, it's said to be good for you. Yes let me cry out, this time, then another time perhaps, then perhaps a last time.
I can't go on like this.

Ronaldo faces four charges regarding tax returns filed from 2011 to 2014, with the prosecutor alleging that the 2016 Ballon D'Or victor defrauded Spain out of some 14.7 million Euros in unpaid taxes.
"The accused took advantage of a company structure created in 2010 to hide from the tax authorities income generated in Spain from his image rights, which is a "voluntary" and "conscious" breach of his fiscal obligations in Spain", the statement said.
Cristiano Ronaldo's representatives have strongly denied an accusation that the Real Madrid forward concealed earnings and defrauded the Spanish tax authorities out of €14.7million.
"Real Madrid C.F. are absolutely convinced that our player, Cristiano Ronaldo, will prove his total innocence in this process". [Cristiano Ronaldo has never] had a tax problem, contrary to what the Spanish prosecutors insinuate.
They also alleged that Ronaldo greatly reduced his tax rate by falsely reporting that some of his income came from real estate.More news: Not 'that far off' from passing health overhaul
The structure allegedly used by the footballer involved setting up a company to manage his image rights in the British Virgin Islands, which then transferred the rights to a second company in Ireland.
"It is clear that the football player did not try to evade taxes", Ronaldo's Gestifute management company said. The court found Messi had funneled income earned from his image rights through countries such as Uruguay, Switzerland and Belize, evading more than 4 million euros in taxes from 2007 to 2009.
Argentina worldwide and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi was sentenced to a 21-month jail sentence and 2.09- million-euro fine a year ago for tax fraud.
Archrival, Lionel Messi and his Father Jorge Messi were sentenced last July sentenced to 21 months imprisonment for tax invasion.
The former Manchester United player has helped Real Madrid to back-to-back Champions League titles and its first Spanish league in five seasons, in addition to being a part of Portugal's winning squad at last year's European Championship.

Lennox Academy is a quality learning institution located in Inglewood, California. The Lennox Mathematics, Science, and Technology Academy provides real-world learning for lower grades with the inclusion of community service. Juniors and seniors take part in internships for real-world experience to prepare for college and a life outside of education. Parents are encouraged to participate in the educational process with volunteering opportunities as well as field trip chaperoning. The student body mostly consists of Latino and Hispanic students, with requirements for graduation such as applying for no less than two colleges and finishing a senior thesis.

Machu Picchu can no longer be visited either in the morning (Group 1 from 6am to 12pm) or in the afternoon (Group 2 from 12pm to 5.30pm). In order to relieve the site, the Government has decided to divide the days into 3 groups of 3 tours each. We will simplify by saying that from January 1, 2019 the visit to Machu Picchu will be according to 9 different entry schedules that must be chosen at the time of booking. These entry schedules are from 6am to 3pm per 1 hour period, which means that the visitor will have to choose in which schedule to entry to Machu Picchu, i.e. pass the entrance gate. For example, the 7am schedule to enter between 7am and 8am, or the 12am schedule to enter between 12pm and 1pm. The visit will be for 4 hours. We are aware of the complications and confusion that this will create, but like you, we are subject to ministerial decisions.
Again, to simplify, our agency has chosen to use its own name for each of the schedules and not those of the Ministry of Culture. We have therefore chosen to call each of these entry schedules: Machu H6 (6am entry schedule), Machu H7, Machu H8, ..., Machu H14 (2pm entry schedule).
Can a person purchase 2 tickets for Machu Pichua in one day? A morning one to climb Hanya Pichua and an afternoon one to be guided through Machu Picchu?
Hello Janet,
In theory, you can and must purchase 2 tickets in order to visit Machu Picchu the whole day, whatever if you want to visit another site like Wayna Picchu or Machu Mountain. So, in theory you need to buy a ticket for Machu Picchu G1 (morning) and Machu Picchu G2 (afternoon).
But it's a theory. In fact, the agents in the Citadel allow people to stay few hours more that the allowed. So your ticket for the morning allows you to stay in Machu Picchu few hours more than the limit of 12am. But if you want to stay until 4pm or 5pm, the most secure is to buy 2 tickets for G1+G2.
This is for both 2018 and 2019 tickets. But remember that tickets, services, spaces and hours have changed for 2019. 2018 has "only" 7 types of tickets, 2019 has 15!
We just updated half-hour ago the page: https://ticket-machupicchu.com/ticket/limitations.php in order to show all these tickets.
Best regards.
Thank you for your response. We have not been able to reserve and purchase tickets on your website for 30 April 2019. We have reserved tickets through the https://www.machupicchu.gob.pe/ but can't pay for them. Can you please help us/explain how to reserve and purchase 3 tickets for Machu Picchu and MP Montana for 30 April 2019? Ever so grateful for your help.
Hello again Janet,
Right now, it's impossible to pay in the official website. Yesterday they changed their website and since then there is a lot of problems, including the payment. So, you CAN'T buy any ticket from the official website now.
Our website is ok and there is no reason or error to stops for purchase for April. We already received a lot of purchases for April. So please let us know if you have any error or why exactly you can't purchase from our website. If you have any problem during the purchase, please contact us through our chat (the green dialog icon at the bottom-right) in order to assist you in real-time.
Hi again Janet,
I'm pretty sure that the problem is that you chose 2018 in the 1st page of our form.
Please be sure to select 2019 in the Step 1 https://www.ticket-machupicchu.com/purchase/form1.php. The selected year appears in WHITE.
Please try and let us know if it's ok.

Яппаньки вам,уважаем(ый)(ая)(ое)!
Tycho smiled. "And they're wondering why nothing new is being shipped from Alderaan."
"That's pretty much it." Pash leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Our patrol area includes Yag'Dhul, the system that is home to the Givin. One of our initial exercises involves going in and rendering the space station there uninhabitable so Warlord Zsinj won't have it as a place to which he can retreat."
Wedge frowned. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but Zsinj hasn't been anywhere near that station since we hit it and stole his bacta."
"So it seems." Pash shrugged. "Anyway, my flight group has the job of denying this station to Zsinj. I was thinking that perhaps you might like to stage your operations out of that station. It would deny it to Zsinj and would provide you a decent fighting platform from which to work. It's conve-nient to Coruscant and Thyferra as well as to a number of other worlds."
Wedge's brown eyes narrowed. "And would allow you to wander by and help out if we got into trouble."
Pash sat back and feigned surprise. "Why you didn't think that was what I had in mind, did you? Not at all. I mean, yes, my people might avail themselves of the station if we needed to stop—no way I'm going to set down on Yag'Dhul. The weather is too unpredictable to allow us to use it as a viable staging area."
"Point taken."
Tycho nodded. "The station would make for a good staging area. If Pash were to report that it had been rendered uninhabitable, then Isard might be led to believe it's junk. There's no doubt in my mind that at some point she'll find out where we are and come after us, but an operational space platform has to be a bit more daunting than a skyhook or a warehouse here on Coruscant."
"Definitely seems like this is our best choice." Wedge nodded,

COMING SOON The New Eliet Super Prof Shredder
Over the years the Super Prof shredder has been the flagship model and one of the most reliable and highly efficient shredders the market has seen.
Back in 1994, innovative manufacturer ELIET introduced the Super Prof shredder which was the first professional mobile shredder into the market that offered users the opportunity to take their shredder to the wood and 20 years later there are over 5,000 happy customers.
The launch of the NEW Super Prof which is also available as a trailed or cross-country model builds on the existing key features making it even more user friendly, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. One of the key additions is the air-blown chip removal via a 360o rotatable discharge chute that will blow the chips to a height of 2 meters. Over the years the Super Prof has earned a well-deserved reputation of being capable of processing almost any kind of green waste.

Fireplace soot is a stubborn stain---soot is, after all, the basis for India ink. Since those of us who love a roaring fire in the dead of winter are unlikely to give up our fireplaces, soot is occasionally going to attach itself to soft surfaces like carpets, drapes and clothes as well as the hearth and mantle. Although you should definitely call a professional for annual chimney cleaning and inspection, most soot removal can be accomplished using some old-fashioned techniques.
Things You'll Need
- Old sheets or newspaper
- Stiff-bristled brush
- Shop vac
- Bucket
- Washing soda
- Household gloves
- Lint-free cloths
- Tri-sodium phospate (TSP)
- Muriatic acid
- Boric Acid
Video of the Day
Confine the mess and limit its spread. Mask the area around your work space with old sheets if it's large or newspaper for a smaller area. Cover any adjoining surfaces (like carpet next to a fireplace) and tape edges with masking tape or wide painter's tape if necessary.
Vacuum the area thoroughly several times, being careful to avoid rubbing the soot into the surface. Soot is composed of tiny pieces of carbon bound by resins from the wood that vaporize as it burns. If you rub the soot, the particles break down and the resins attach themselves (along with some carbon) to whatever it lands on, so go lightly. "Shop vacs" work best because they're easiest to clean. If you don't have one and have to use your household vacuum, be sure to change the bag when you finish. Soot will clog the bag and limit the vacuum's ability to pick up dirt. If you use a bagless vacuum, remember to wipe it out well.
Brush the soot off the surface with a stiff-bristled brush. Steel-bristled brushes work fine on barbecues and fireplace surrounds but a laundry or vegetable brush will work on other surfaces without risking a scratch. Use a bottle or even a tooth brush on fabrics and in corners. Hold your "shop-vac" nozzle over the area as you brush out the particles to keep them from lighting somewhere else.
Mix up a solution of washing soda (sodium carbonate) and water and don your rubber gloves if the brush-vac process doesn't finish off the soot. Scrub with the stiff-bristled brush and blot with a lint-free cloth (old undershirts or diapers work well), turning the cloth to keep a clean area toward the stain. Repeat as necessary. If the soot is stuck to a delicate article of clothing, try washing it in baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), then in dishwashing liquid.
Use stronger cleaners with care if sweeping and washing soda don't work. Tri-sodium phosphate (TSP), a surface cleaner favored by painters, and muriatic acid, diluted at least 9-to-1 with water can be used with care on hard surfaces like walls and bricks. Use boric acid or dishwashing detergent made into a paste on small areas. Try soaking fabrics like cotton and some polyester in a solution of water and dishwashing detergent overnight and then wash again in dishwashing liquid to "neutralize" the fabric. However many solutions you try, rinse completely between each step. Some cleaners, notably acids like vinegar or chlorine bleach, don't play well with others and release toxic gases when combined with other cleaners.

First Drop!
Vocal start
Second Drop
Benwaa returns to Gibbon with quite simply Techno. The Rain is deep and dark brooding, snatching sounds into the air building up to immersion in lush pads and synths taking us deeper into the shower and soundscape of sound. Vilt is a more direct techno floor mover, with a dark moving and driving bassline and techno stabs, it's very reminiscent of moments in Berghain.
Umlaut pushes things in a more driving direction, with an upfront bass movement and eery pads pushed in a dark yet grooving direction, with a cheeky groove built out of various sounds and a vocal deeming you "come on", it's a very set friendly piece of Techno that appeals to a lot of floors.
PHCK and Bootleg Ben are on remix duties. PHCK return to Gibbon bringing The Rain to us in a familiar warmth of added synths and strings really which takes things to another feeling, bringing the soundscaped immersion to us in deep house form that is unique to them.
Bootleg Bens take leads us in a more Tech house direction, with psychedelic bleeps, and brain spinning pads layered under glitched out percussion, there's a distinct progressive feel of the early 2000's about it that is embracing and wouldn't be out of place with in a John Digweed set of that era."
