The pastor and his wife greet us at the door and we all go inside and take a seat. My family comes to church every Sunday. It's very rare that we don't attend service. It feels good to be here today and I'm actually looking forward to hearing the pastor's sermon. Then, suddenly a strange feeling comes over me. It's a sensation I've experienced before and I know immediately what it is. I only have this feeling when he's nearby. So I start frantically but cautiously looking around. Then I spot him. It's Eiden walking into church.
I feel so enraged I want to rush up and beat the daylights out of him. But I'm in church and service is starting. His beating will just have to wait. Eiden walks up the aisle right past me and sits down three rows in front of us just a bit to the right. He turns his head toward me, smiles and nods knowingly. I want to rip that grin right off his face. I don't know why I'm so angry. I should be afraid. After all, this guy is the entity that controls hell! But I've got only one emotion to spend on him right how and that's anger.
I'm counting every second since the pastor started talking. I need to talk to Eiden. The sermon is about love and forgiveness, but I'm really not paying attention. I'm just waiting for it to be over.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the pastor concludes his sermon. The first thing I do is look three rows up and to the right. But he's not there. As the congregation files slowly out of church I get lost in the crowd and break away to go find him. I go into the corridor leading to the Sunday classes. There I see him walking toward one of the classrooms. I seize the chance and pounce toward him. The second my hand almost grabs him from behind something that feels like a force field pushes me off of him and throws me to the ground. Eiden turns, walks over and looks down at me.
"Well hello there. Nice to see you again Markus," Eiden says full of pompous sarcasm. "What are you doing on the ground? The Earth is no place for someone of your stature," he says with such calmness that it almost disarms me. For a brief second so many thoughts rush through my mind – torment, torture, hate, anger, death. Then I hear a voice whispering, "Sweet pain never enjoyed, beautiful suicide of angels fallen from heaven." What was this? I snap myself out of it.
"I know who you are," I say accusingly.
"You do Markus?"
"Yes I do, Eiden. You're the silver-tongued devil!"
But Eiden seems to have no reaction to any off this. He just smiles and stretches his hand down to me to help me up.
"The silver-tongued devil," he says, "Is that the name of some character from an RPG game Markus?"
"Don't play with me, Eiden," I say flinging his hand away from me. "I know who you are and there's no use denying it!"
"Silver-tongued devil," Eiden says glancing up stroking his chin. "I haven't been called that for centuries. Well," he continues, "I suppose it's no use hiding from you then, now is it?"
The corridor then suddenly becomes darker. The shadows in the hall begin to move and I hear faint voices. No, I hear screams. Distant screams of people suffering. Then pain started seeping through me. It's like my very essence is being drenched with suffering and mayhem. This is Eiden's doing. He starts to change as well. His eyes absorb the darkness of the moving shadows and change from stark blue to sinister black. I lose my focus, the pain is getting too great. My body is paralyzed. I can't move.
"So, Markus," Eiden says ominously, "Are you liking what you see?"
"What's going on here?" I ask. "What are you doing to me?"
"Just giving you a taste of what's to come."
"What are you?" I manage to ask terrified.
"I am Eiden," he replies knowingly. "Nothing more and nothing less."
I feel the need to sleep. I can't focus on anything not even my thoughts. My body is still paralyzed. My angel's face flashes in my head and I know I must not give in to Eiden and lose control.
Struggling, I manage to say, "I'm here to tell you… the deal is off!"
"Oh, is that so Markus? You're here to tell me the deal is off. Well. I'm afraid it's not that simple you see. The deal has been stuck Markus. It is done. You have no more say in the matter."
"YES, I DO!" I scream seething in anger. "I'm telling you the deal is off!"
"Markus, Markus, Markus! Why so angry? Why so rude?" Eiden said full of mockery. "Why I've done nothing but help you and this is how you thank me? I grant you the peace of mind of knowing your loved ones will be taken care of. Tsk tsk tsk, Markus. You Hiciousites are so ungrateful. But I am always willing to forgive, Markus. That is my nature. So what can I do?"
Am I losing my mind? I can't think. I want this to stop. The pain just keeps coming. It's consuming me. What have I gotten myself into? I sitting immobile and powerless barely propping myself with my trembling arms behind me. I have no strength to do anything, not even lift my head. Eiden senses my pain. He leans over and looks at me.
"Oh Markus, what ever is the matter?" he says with scorn. "You don't look so good my boy. You should enjoy yourself. After all, there's much more to come."
I then sensed someone else at the end of the hall and closing in fast on us. Eiden's face and tone suddenly changed as well. Now he is angry.
"We shall continue this another time," he said in a controlled rage. Then he turned, walked away and disappeared into one of the classrooms. With that my body and mind turned normal again. I can move again. The pain vanished and the voices of the people in agony disappeared. The shadows on the wall are again still. Then the person who entered the hall walks right past me and into the classroom where Eiden went. I get up and rush to the door to open it, but it won't budge. Through the glass at the top, however, I can see Eiden inside. He is talking to the woman who just walked past me. When she turns and I saw a familiar face. But I can't exactly place it. I've seen her before. But where?
"Markus!" a voice from behind me suddenly breaks my focus. It was mom. "Markus, what are you doing in here? Come along. We're going home," she said.
I turned to her. "Oh. Okay mom. I'm coming." But before I leave I turn to look one more time through the window. But this time the door was open and I can look right into the classroom. It's empty. In disbelief step inside. They are gone.
"Markus?" I heard mom calling from the doorway. "Are you okay?"
"Y . . .yes mom. I'm, I'm fine."
Mom stepped in and walked over to me. She leaned in and kissed my forehead. "Come along honey. Let's go home," she said putting her arm around me. I feel safe again.
Back outside getting into the car I was silent. I was thinking that things were going to be more difficult than I had imagined. If what Eiden did to me in there is a taste of what he is capable of then I shiver to think what else he could do to me. And that woman in the classroom. I know I've seen here before. Who is she?
"Dad, can we get something to eat on the way?" Nathan bellowed.
"What would you like son?" Dad asked.
"Anything. I'm just hungry."
"How about we stop at Java Lava? Would you all like some coffee and breakfast there?"
"Yes sir!' "And how!" "Sounds great honey," everyone answered at once dreaming of their lattes, pumpkin muffins and Denver omelettes.
Java Lava. That's it! Now I remember. That woman is the waitress from Java Lava. But what was she doing with Eiden? And why did Eiden get so upset when she came in? Well, we're just a few blocks now from Java Lava. I guess I'll find out.

This was my final week at the junior high level and I'm off to a high-school next week. Six weeks is a short period and it was made shorter because of the snow days, exams, job fair, and three days of sickness. However, as short as the period was, overall, I'm pleased with my experience.
I only was there long enough to get a taste of a junior high routine. Still, I know what I need to work on, and I have tons of ideas how to move forward. The best thing about the six weeks happened yesterday. My co-operating teacher had our homeroom students write a reflection letter on my teaching and she made a booklet out of them. All the students had good things to say, and a couple provided me really good feedback how I could improve. It was such a nice thing to take away from my six weeks at the school, and it's really motivated me to continue!
The one thing I really hoped to have happen was a class where I had the students really excited about what they were learning. I tried a couple different activities but never had a moment when I felt that a student had just made an amazing connection. It's a hard thing to pull off, especially in math, but it's a huge motivation for me to go into teaching.
Anyways, all in all, it was a good experience. I'm off to high-school this week, and I'm nervous on two accounts. It's my old high-school that I graduated from and I haven't seen any of my old teachers since I've left. Also, it's been a long time since I've worked with that age group. I don't think it will be a huge jump from Grade 9 students, but still, I'm nervous about it. However it's a fresh start, and I'm going to be open-minded and I expect a great experience out of it. The big thing for me is to continue to focus on the bigger picture and not sweat the small things.

Cruising is a rather romantic way to spend some time with your loved one. There is something novel about snuggling on a deck while the sun is setting on top of the wide-open sea. It's an even better way of getting away from it all – you always feel like you don't need to worry about the world when you are on a cruise. It's just you and the other cruisers – nothing else matters.
If the romantic thought of going on a cruise appeals to you, then you have plenty of options in terms of cruise lines. So, which one to pick for the best experience? Here are the most wonderful cruise lines for couples to experience.
Paul Gauguin Cruises
The cruise line only has this one ship operating but it's nonetheless a romantic holiday pick for couples. The experience is romantic and tropical. While the onboard romance is great, you will definitely enjoy the route in the sweet South Pacific the most. You get to discover some of the ocean's best island paradises. The cruise is a great way to experience the best of two worlds: beach holidays and cruises.
Norwegian Cruise Lines
Norwegian Cruise Lines has a great fleet on a number of different routes and all the ships are worth experiencing. The older ships are more relaxed and traditional, while the newest members of the fleet are all about Las Vegas-style glamour and entertainment. These ships are perfect for active couples; you can play basketball or give rock-climbing a go. However, you can just relax at the spa as well or snuggle up with your loved one at the lounges with a drink in hand. These ships are huge so it won't be your choice for a super intimate trip.
Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity has a fleet of ships but it is the newest ships that cater the best to couples. The best thing about these cruises is the food and drink options – you have stunning wine bars to visit and the restaurants onboard offer fine dining and casual snacks. The cabins offer options from fancy suits to your casual retreat. The rooms won't break a bank, even if you want a private balcony!
Princess Cruises
As the name suggest, you'll definitely feel like a princess in the three different Princess Cruises ships. The cruise line has a lovely selection of traditional ships with each offering suites and mini-suites, catering all budgets. The entertainment is great with plenty of spa and massage treatments available for you to relax with your loved one. If you want something super-romantic, you need to book an Ultimate Balcony Dining experience – you get to enjoy a stunning dinner or breakfast from the comfort of your own room.
SeaDream Yacht Club
For those couples that are all about luxury, the two ships in the SeaDream Yacht Club fleet are a must-see. The all-inclusive cruises offer plenty of gorgeous entertainment and food. All the rooms are super-romantic and very state-like. If you want, you can even reserve one night sleeping under the stars, which is an unmemorable experience. The ships have two main restaurants with both opening elegant and tasty food.
Windstar Cruises
Another single ship cruise line to discover is Windstar Cruises. Their Wind Surf ship is a hybrid blend of traditional cruise activities and romantic vistas. The ship is rather small so it definitely helps you feel secluded. Windstar's atmosphere is rather relaxed and there are plenty of things to do. It is more of an adventure rather than a luxury cruiser, so keep this in mind.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Now, if you are looking for luxury, the Seven Seas Explorer ship is often referred to as the 'Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built'. You'll get to enjoy gourmet cuisine, personal service and all-inclusive service in terms of drinks or even the pre-cruise hotel. However, all this luxury doesn't come cheap. The cruises are the most expensive on the list so you definitely want to save this option for that super special occasion.
The good news is that booking a cruise doesn't always have to cost a fortune. You should definitely keep an eye on the prices and book just outside of the peak season. Furthermore, most lines offer special offers when you book as an early bird (up to a year in advance) or in the final moments. You can also find offers for the cruise lines and travel portals that help you book cruises from OZCodes.com.au. Taking advantage of voucher codes can help you stick to a budget without jeopardising the romance and fun.
So, if you are looking for a romantic treat, going on a cruise might be just the right thing to do. The above cruise lines are wonderful for couples and are bound to have you longing for more.

Supreme Court of Minnesota
April 12, 2017
Yik C. Lo, Respondent,v.Commissioner of Revenue, Relator.
Court Office of Appellate Courts
A. Pridgeon, Edina, Minnesota, for respondent.
Swanson, Attorney General, Michael Goodwin, Assistant
Attorney General, Saint Paul, Minnesota, for relator.
on the plain language of Minnesota Statutes § 270C.56,
subd. 1 (2016), a corporate president and 50 percent
shareholder who was active in the corporation's
restaurant business, including sometimes signing the
corporation's tax returns, is personally liable for the
unpaid sales tax liability of the corporation.
and decided by the court without oral argument.
McKEIG, Justice.
appeal from the tax court requires us to determine whether a
corporate officer who funds and controls a corporation is
personally liable for unpaid sales taxes when the corporation
is managed by someone else. The tax court held that
respondent Yik Lo was not personally liable for the unpaid
sales taxes, reasoning that he did not have sufficient
functional control over the corporation's operations
notwithstanding his formal authority over the business. We
Yik Lo
emigrated from China to the United States in 1974 and was
joined by his wife, Yau Lo, and their son, Kee Lo, in
1980.[1] In 1990, Yik and Yau created
H.K.D. Lo, Inc. Yik and Yau each owned a 50 percent share in
H.K.D. and were directors of the corporation. In addition,
Yik was the chief executive officer, president, and secretary
of H.K.D., and Yau was the vice president and
treasurer.[2] Starting in 1990, Yik and
Yau operated several restaurants through H.K.D., the last of
which they sold in 2005.
2002, Yik and Yau Lo (not H.K.D.) purchased a building with a
restaurant on the ground floor. Yik and Yau did not operate
the restaurant but instead leased the space to the
restaurant's owner. When the restaurant closed in 2004,
they decided to either sell the building or open a new
business there. Around the same time, Kee decided to open a
restaurant called Jun Bo. Jun Bo was Kee's idea, and he
initially considered creating a new corporation through which
to operate the restaurant. But Yik planned to retire, so he
was interested in renting out the space vacated by the
previous tenant rather than operating a restaurant himself.
Yik advised Kee that operating Jun Bo through H.K.D. would
allow Jun Bo to benefit from H.K.D.'s established credit
history and supplier relationships. Kee agreed to do so on
the condition that he would be "in charge with
everything." Yik assented, and Kee therefore decided to
operate Jun Bo through H.K.D. Before Jun Bo began operations,
Yik secured bank loans for H.K.D., totaling $600, 000, to
remodel the space and purchase equipment for Jun Bo's
operations. Yik, as an officer of H.K.D., also secured Jun
Bo's liquor license.
Jun Bo
opened for business in June 2006. Yik argues that Kee
controlled Jun Bo from the beginning and was "in charge
of the entire business." Yik and his other son, Danny
Lo, both characterized Kee as the "president" of
Jun Bo. Danny believed Kee could have fired him because Kee
"was owner and president of Jun Bo." Kee and Danny
had the authority to hire and fire any of Jun Bo's
employees. Kee also signed most of H.K.D.'s checks,
including payroll checks. And Kee decided which bank to use
and generally determined when and to whom checks would be
issued. Kee also served as H.K.D.'s primary contact with
the Minnesota Department of Revenue. When the Commissioner
audited H.K.D. in 2008, Kee notified his parents immediately,
and Yik told Kee to "take care of it."
Yik Lo,
however, remained an H.K.D. director and officer throughout
Jun Bo's existence. As president, H.K.D.'s bylaws
gave Yik "general active management of the business of
the corporation" and he remained the chief executive
officer. Yik signed tax returns for H.K.D. in 2005, 2006,
2007, and 2010. He also signed a power of attorney on
H.K.D.'s behalf in 2008.
Yik was
also involved in Jun Bo's operations. For example, he
received Jun Bo's early bank statements at his home, and
drew a salary of around $1, 000 per month for occasional work
at the restaurant, including cooking, food preparation, and
clean up. Yik was an authorized signer on H.K.D.'s
accounts at two separate banks (along with Yau, Kee, and
Danny), and regularly signed checks on Jun Bo's behalf.
For example, Jun Bo paid around $140, 000 per year in rent to
Yik and Yau Lo in exchange for the leased space in the
Los' building. Yik often signed these rent checks, which
transferred funds from Jun Bo to himself.[3] Yik also drafted and signed checks from
Jun Bo to himself to cover payments to his personal
creditors. In fact, Yik signed checks during almost every
month of Jun Bo's existence. Checks signed by Yik on Jun
Bo's behalf during the tax periods at issue amounted to
over $2 million-the largest cumulative amount by any
authorized Jun Bo check-signer. Kee often requested that Yik
sign Jun Bo's checks when Kee or Danny was busy.
decided to close Jun Bo in 2011 because it was not generating
enough business. After Jun Bo closed, Yik and Yau Lo sold the
building that previously housed it. In 2012, Yik and Yau,
exercising their authority as officers of H.K.D., formally
dissolved the corporation.
case arises out of orders by the Commissioner of Revenue
assessing Yik personally liable for sales taxes owed by
H.K.D.[4] In 2008, the Commissioner issued
an order assessing H.K.D. $260, 631.97 in additional sales
tax, penalties, and interest for the periods between December
1, 2004, and November 30, 2007. H.K.D. failed to pay the
amounts owed. In 2011, the Commissioner issued an order
assessing Yik personally liable for H.K.D.'s sales tax
liability in the reduced amount of $222, 584.08. Also in
2011, the Commissioner issued an order assessing H.K.D. with
$82, 267.24 in sales tax liability for the periods between
April 1, 2008, and May 31, 2011. H.K.D. again failed to pay
the amounts owed. In 2012, the Commissioner issued an order

Getting the perfect night's sleep every night is our dream come true, let's be honest – but what if we told you the quality of your slumber could be negatively affected by something a little completely unexpected?
One of the best ways to give your bed a warm and contemporary look for fall is by adding quilted bedding. The quilt pattern adds geometric texture to your bed and can be mixed and matched with other textures and patterns. In fact, as the inspiration images above showed, the more mixing and matching, the better!

Thanksgiving is next week and I'm sitting in a house with a Christmas tree in every corner and snowflakes dripping down the front windows. It's spectacular, but it feels a little off.
Winter won't make an appearance for me this year. No snow, no cold. No branches stripped to naked bark, with tree trunks outlined by brittle grasses frozen at cockamamie angles or ice-veiled ponds and frozen cubes of water rushing along a river's current. No pleasant crunch along the bottom of fuzz-lined Sorrels as I step across the porch in the morning. No winter.
It's strange to sweat a little in November, to feel the heat and humidity of the day as it turns the corner to noon and continues to gain temperature till the sun goes down. Not to 30 degrees, but to 70. After the sun disappears is when I remember where I am in this year. That's when the cold air creeps up from the bottom, fog descends inland from the ocean, and cool moisture lays its heavy hand on my face.
But when I think about it, that's also a bit like Montana's spring and summer. When the cool air would sweep across the valley, slowly filling in pockets of air with temperature loss until evening out against the hillsides.
Climate urges with it the oohs and aahs of each season. I never really noticed how even keeled it was in Coastal California until I left and came back. The seasons are more subdued here, a little less spectacular. They blend from one to the next without the epiphany that symbolizes a year's noticeable move into a different season.
The symphony of colors is mild because they are always there. The moments that made me appreciate nature for giving life are not here. No bursting of spring wildflowers that holds the earth captive for mere weeks before taking leave, no gigantic supernatural burst of fall's oranges that takes over every tree in sight until the leaves succumb to winter and fall to the ground, leaving the world bare and brown until the snow melts and the world heats up.
Thinking about that now, makes me appreciate that spring follows a barren winter to give the world a reminder that nature shares it's berth in color.

Nice planting, though I'm not a huge fan of the phormium. Nice, happy plant too, but this one's too big for me. Unfortunately, I did not have time to visit the mystery Mimetes, and it's going to start raining again.

Frankenstein is one of the perennial favorites. We see its characters and themes revisited time and again in art and on the screen.
Will you go to see I, Frankenstein, the new movie with Aaron Eckhart and Bill Nighy? The film boasts an original screenplay by Kevin Grevioux, the story based on his graphic novel. You may be familiar with Grevioux from the Underworld series. He's also an actor and comic book writer. Yvonne Strahovski also stars in the film. She starred for five seasons with Zachary Levi in Chuck.
Are you dressing up for the premiere? Maybe someone you know wants a Frankenstein-themed present. Do you look forward to a Monster Christmas or birthday?
When he moved to Transylvania, Herman met and later married the lovely Lily Dracula. They moved to the US where they would have a son, Eddie. Like many families today, they shared their home with extended family. This included Lily's father, Sam Dracula a.k.a. Grandpa and their niece, Marilyn.
The Munsters Herman Munster Adult Costume can be paired with Lily for a great Munsters couples costume. Included is the jacket and pants, EVA Herman character ½ mask. Consider getting neck bolts and make up or a monster make up kit. Will you get a Herman or Frankenstein T-Shirt?? Pad the shoulders?! The Monster Shoes? (find them below)
Disney Frankenweenie Costumes
Victor Frankenstein adult costume (right) Tunic, mask, gloves and stethoscope. Some are even on clearance, great prices, while they last.
Characters: Victor Frankenstein, E Gore, Elsa Van Helsing and more. Links to each can be found on the Black and White Costumes page.
Herman Munster is a fun costume because you get the kitsch of the 1960s tv character, but you can also go more in the direction of a Frankenstein monster. Have Herman and his wife, Lily Munster as a smashing couples costume pair. Other Munsters costumes, such as Eddie and Grandpa are available, too.
The Munsters ran September 24, 1964 – May 12, 1966. There were many shows that had fantasy, goth and magical overtones in the mid-sixties to early-1970s. These included programs from cartoons to soap operas, comedies to pure science fiction classics.
Some of the shows were set in space or another world, had magical quirkiness as their main ingredient, while others, such as The Patty Duke Show, with doppelganger identical cousins, had just a touch of that special something.
Contemporaries of or shows that ran in proximity to The Munsters included The Addams Family, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, My Mother the Car, Dark Shadows, Lost in Space, The Jetsons and The Flying Nun. As a kid, I was a fan of the programs of Sid and Marty Krofft, which included Land of the Lost, The Bugaloos and H.R. Pufnstuf. This doesn't come close to naming them all. What else can you think of?
Accessories make a costume and for Herman or Frankenstein, you can go from the ground up. Monster Adult Boots The Men's Monster Black Shoes, 5 Star Customer Ratings. These come in different sizes and are for indoor and outdoor use.

Handspun Sockettes
I whipped up these little sockette things from a bit of leftover handspun I had kicking around.
Toasty! The warmth of a wool sock without looking like I'm wearing my husband's work socks.

Could have used them at a holiday party this weekend! Great idea, and very nicely done. Enjoyed reading the blog, the shawl is amazing. I have one I've been working on for 2 years, can't imagine doing beading in addition to following the charting.

Are you referring to the Revontuli Shawl Jen? That's a very simple one with a pattern that is easily memorized. I've done far more elaborate ones! My favourite of all time is my very first, the Peacock Feathers Shawl. I beaded that one too.

Heels Angelika? I haven't worn pump style heels since I wrecked my feet walking for 2 hours every day several years ago. Since then the best I can do is a dressy style of clog. With footwear like that I don't wear dresses or skirts any more either!

I live in BC, Canada, and I don't know if it is a local thing or not, but at a house party or as a guest visiting in someone else's home, it is considered rude to leave your shoes on unless the hostess specifically says that it is okay to do so.
A company party held in a commercial building would be a different thing. In that case shoes would be left on.
Personally, with my bad feet, I'm more comfortable if I take my shoes off anyway. I wear slippers all the time at home. Not handknit ones....always structured, supportive type, which at the moment happens to be winter-lined crocs.

- DEEP END OF THE LOOM said...
Oh I understand, like in Hawaii, you don't wear the shoes into the house, it considered rude. I wear shoes, socks or flip flop all the time. Being Cuban American it was ingrained in us as kids that you didn't go anywhere without shoes, it was considered, dirty and a sign that your parent didn't have enough to buy shoes very odd I know but... such are customs.

Selkirk's hopes of following up their win over Gala with victory against Stirling perished in a costly midmatch slump either side of half time.
But a late brace of tries by Philiphaugh men at least made defeat less unpalatable.
Playing excellent handling rugby and dominating territorially Selkirk deservedly led 7-3 after an early try from winger Scott Hendrie and the conversion by stand-off Rory Banks. But, in a five minute spell before half time, Selkirk were hit by two tries in quick succession that gave Stirling a 17-7 interval lead.
Then as Stirling exerted their greater physical advantage the visitors grabbed two further tries to give them a match winning advantage, albeit Selkirk restored some pride with two impressively constructed late tries to give the scoreline a truer picture of matters on the field.
"It was probably our best 35 minutes and our worst 25 minutes consecutively," stated Selkirk coach, Peter Wright after the game.
"It was important that we came back in the end and got a couple of tries. It gives the boys confidence to go in against Heriot's next Saturday."
Selkirk went into the match without first choice scrum half Mikey Davies, due to a leg injury, and with their reliable centre Craig McDougall below par. "Craig was really struggling because he was suffering with some sort of bug so we asked him to do only 40 minutes," explained Wright.
"We don't have a big squad of players so we just have to get on with it. But you know what, they're playing with a smile on their face and there's some good rugby in there.
Stirling's 17-7 half time lead resulted from tries by New Zealanders Dylan Simpson and Nick Grigg both converted by winger Johnny Hope, who had opened the scoring with a penalty goal.
Selkirk went further behind early in the second half when Stirling's forwards engineered a try for prop Mark Hunter and then when wing Matt Lamb cantered through a disorganised Selkirk defence, Hope adding both conversions.
The home side then staged a late recovery with a try in the corner for replacement Callum McEwan and a touchdown by number 8 Callum Marshall, Banks converting both scores to ease the pain of defeat.

Literature is a form of intimate gateway from the author's personal world to the reader. I believe that there is some connection on whether a translation of a piece of literature can be "lost" by how it could not be translated 100% to the core.
As I was reading "Signs Preceding the End of the World" , I understood that this novel was originally written in Spanish. Being bilingual, I would try to compare how the author read the novel in Spanish while I read it in English and there are a variety of differences. The Spanish version of the novel was more emotional and had a more intimate tone. I say this because the author would use words and phrases that don't exactly translate directly to English 100%. Although the English version was mostly spot on in translation, the Spanish version grasp my attention more.
I felt that in Signs Preceding the End of the World, the story of Makina would be better understood to Spanish speakers as well. As a Spanish speaker, I would understand the struggles that Makina would go through as she entered a new world in the United States. It is a country where people of Latino descent face many struggles and Makina explained that when she wrote a poem to an officer that was acting condescending towards her. In Spanish, the poem felt more emotional and more in depth with Makina's personal feelings about Americans and how they mistreat Latinos. The English version of the poem was also emotional but I personally felt that because Makina's native language was Spanish, her thoughts shown in the novel was a direct connection from her thoughts.
We are to blame for this destruction, we who don't speak your tongue and don't know how to keep quiet either. We who didn't come by boat, who dirty up your doorsteps with our dust, who break your barbed wire. We who came to take your jobs, who dream of wiping your shit, who long to work all hours. We who fill your shiny clean streets with the smell of food, who brought you violence you'd never known, who deliver your dope, who deserve to be chained by neck and feet. We who are happy to die for you, what else could we do? We, the ones who are waiting for who knows what. We, the dark, the short, the greasy, the shifty, the fat, the anemic. We the barbarians.
Herrera, Yuri. Signs Preceding the End of the World (Kindle Locations 761-765). And Other Stories Publishing. Kindle Edition.
Overall, I do believe that Literature can lose it's original tone and emotion when being translated into another language. The original language can have certain aspects where it cannot be translated 100%.

What's the best way to lure Minneapolis comedians into the same enclosed space? Book Dana Gould.
Local stand-ups Cy Admundson and Bryan Miller were among the disciples at Acme Comedy Co. Thursday who came to worship the person club owner Louis Lee calls his favorite comic.
Even non-professionals could see why Gould is an industry favorite as he explored territory that would never occur to his peers. Sure, he went after Donald Trump, gun lovers and the KKK. But how many comedians weave in material about the perverse pleasures of horse cremation, the phallic symbols in "The Fast and the Furious" and Little Richard's courageous stance, all topped with a Adam West impression? You could almost hear his fellow comics in the audience slapping hands to their foreheads and muttering, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Gould's attraction to the fringes may be the main reason he's not a household name. On Thursday, he recalled how he lost a "Saturday Night Live" spot to some dudes named Chris Rock and Adam Sandler.
His IFC series, "Stan Against Evil" returns next month and his podcast, "The Dana Gould Hour," is in its fifth year. But he's primarily known as a long-time writer for "The Simpsons" -- except in the Twin Cities. Here, he's a comedy God.
You can come to worship yourself Friday and Saturday at Acme. For ticket information, go to acmecomedycompany.com

Wow, where did the time go. I sit here writing and growing my beard as we are finishing week 2 of the Phase 3 of the run training program. That means we are 14 weeks into the 24 weeks. Luckily my running is so much better than my beard.
So what does Phase 3 mean and why would it hurt a little? Well so far we have established our base, we have built our endurance and we have pushed our aerobic engine a little bit. This means our bodies are primed for learning how to deal with a little bit of speed. This means intervals and repetitions.
Phase 3 adds to our key workouts. So far we have had two key workouts a week, the long run and the threshold run. Our third key workout is intervals pushing us to 3 hard sessions a week. Ouch. Of course due to their more intense nature, interval workouts also mean that our overall weekly mileage does drop at first, then builds back up to the end of this 6 week period.
Intervals or speed work are a great way of working on your anaerobic engine. This is burning fuel without using oxygen and is generally associated with sprinting, but for distance runners can be very useful as well. Not all sessions need to be anaerobic either, by doing intervals at the maximum edge of your aerobic running boundary, you get to prepare your body for the speeds you may wish to achieve during races. And by doing these session as intervals with rests, you get the benefits of the hard run while limiting the stress and potential injury of just trying to do a fast long run. Sure, we will likely push ourselves during a race to hold these paces for a longer duration, but during training our goal is to get to the next training session injury free and well rested. After a race we can afford to take some time to recuperate and rest.
So yeah, speed work is great in that it can help make us actually faster, with a goal of limiting injury, but there is an even greater reason to do it. If you run within your limits you will generally find that you run correctly. It is very hard to run fast for any distance and run incorrectly. What does this mean? It means you will start to recruit the muscles fibers you need for economical running. Doing frequent repetitions of these runs will be like your body forming a proper running habit. Habits / nerve pathways / muscles take 3-6 weeks to become part of you, thus this 6 week phase.
As each week passes the intervals will change, sometimes getting longer, sometimes faster. Generally the longer an interval is (say up to 1 km or 1 mile) the slower you will go (ideally you run an interval at a consistent pace) while the short intervals (1 min or 200 m or so) are about as fast as you can go without sprinting. Always though, there will be a decent level of recovery between each interval that will allow the next interval to be run at a similar or slightly faster pace.
There are some great ways to figure out exactly what pace you should be doing these intervals, otherwise you can go by heart rate and try to stay within your Zone 5 (maybe high Zone 4 for longer runs). If neither of these ways are interesting or you don't have a fancy running watch, then intervals can be a bit of trial and error. As I said, try to run at a pace that is sustainable but hard for the duration of the run.
The specifics of this phase are hard to deal with in a small blog post. Entire books get written about interval training. Having a coach or seasoned runner with good knowledge helping you out is a good way to avoid injuries.
So this Phase is likely to be the hardest. We are still quite far from the goal race and can afford to push the key workouts. Allowing for decent rest is a must, throwing in some cross training won't hurt. I also suggest seeing your physio for an assessment at the beginning of this phase as an little issues are sure to show up here, but you will have plenty of time to deal with them prior to Phase 4.
I am excited as my athlete is showing some great progress already compared to last season. We are adjusting some aspects of her running and I am eagerly awaiting Phase 4 for her.
By the way this is a great phase to throw in some early season races, especially shorter ones like 5 km races. These will generally replace a speed session (threshold or interval) or if long enough (10K or over) a long run.

This month we republished an old NRICH favourite which we dusted off and repackaged to reflect the way we're thinking about task design for the secondary site at the moment. If you've never met the problem Tilted Squares before, I urge you to take a look and have a play, as it's one of my favourites.
We've also done something slightly different with the Teachers' Notes to this problem. Charlie and I were recently working on Tilted Squares with a group from a school in London, and we arranged to have the session filmed. The notes include extracts from the video footage – the clips are quite long, I'm afraid. Having watched the sessions back (which is always going to be nerve-wracking – I don't think I've ever met a teacher who enjoys watching video footage of their teaching!) we have our own ideas about what was successful and what we maybe should have done differently, but I am very keen to know what others see in them. So if you have time to watch some of the footage and then leave a comment here, I'd be very grateful. More generally though, is it useful to include video in our Teachers' Notes? Do you have suggestions of other changes we could make to our teacher support materials?

Well known in the Oil & Gas industry for efficiency boosting innovation, Tendeka's website was far from a reflection of their reputation. Tendeka challenged Denvir to design a responsive and efficient new website, engineered to work as well for them as their products perform for their customers. It all started with a deep dive into the existing site. Our designers began by comparing its aesthetics to the overall look-and-feel of the Tendeka brand. At the same time, our digital experts assessed the user experience and content, identifying both major and minor issues in areas such as functionality, structure, content, and SEO.
Using what we learned we designed and built a fully responsive and mobile compatible website that not only looks incredible, but is perfectly aligned with the overall Tendeka brand. Perhaps most importantly, the attention to detail of our digital and UX team saw that all major site issues were resolved, along with 700+ minor issues. The massive reduction in SEO penalties, along with well-written content, resulted in a 48-position jump in Google's search rankings and 52% increase in overall site visibility!
Lastly, having followed the design and build with a seamless transition from old to new, we are delighted to be hosting a beautiful website, which truly reflects its brand.
– Fully responsive and mobile friendly site
– Clean, sharp, brand-aligned design
– Improved user experience with intuitive navigation
– Seamless transition from old site to new
– All critical and over 700 minor issues fixed
– Google search ranking improved by 48 places
– Search visibility increased 52%


text: Entertainment Does Your Vein Ever Pop Out Of Your Wrist Like This? Then THIS Is What It Means! Wow! by Eunice Maria Richardson on January 28, 2018 0 Comment SHARE AdvertisementThe human body is a miraculous machine, but it's not as finely engineered as you might think. In fact, from an engineering standpoint, it's kind of a mess. A good engineer eliminates anything useless or unnecessary to the design. But our bodies have things like the appendix — a wholly pointless organ that, in a best-case scenario, will simply go on being pointless rather than getting infected and trying to kill us. You have to wonder, why would our bodies have these odd, ill-conceived imperfections?The answer, of course, is history. The human body is both a machine and a laboratory, undergoing constant, incremental change from generation to generation in a grand genetic experiment. The results of that grand experiment are written on our faces and hidden under our skin. And even the hidden stuff shows up from time to time — in those odd imperfections, like the way a tendon sticks out from your wrist. Our ancestors are always with us, and you can see pieces of them if you know where to look. It's not always kind — as the shine off my male pattern baldness can attest — but it's wonderfully human.SHARE this on Facebook to show your friends how weird the human body can be.Advertisement

Dead Can Dance reunite
Dead Can Dance, one of the most unique musical groups in recent memory, have reunited after splitting seven years ago, and releasing their last album nine years ago.
They are in the midst of a European tour and will tour parts of North America this year. They have sold out of 13 concert CDs, limited to a run of 500 copies each.
From beppeblog:
Dead Can Dance are, simply put, one of the best bands of the last twenty years, encompassing Dark Wave, Medieval Music, Classical Influences and trans-inducing Ethno. After their split in 1998, Brendan Perry went solo as a Singer/Songwriter and Lisa Gerrard contributed to some great film scores, including the Oscar-Winnign "Gladiator" with Hans Zimmer.

Obama and Religion
4 comments:
While I was also glad to see that "little nod", I was also disappointed to see that it was no more than a nod. I didn't understand the necessity of the (very Christian) prayer during the inauguration, nor did I see the need for ending his speech with "God bless...", if the point was an equal acknowledgment of all these diverse religious points of view.
And speaking of diversity, the citation of pre-contact North American languages as being in the neighborhood of "tens of thousands" seems a bit high... With an estimated 6-7000 languages currently spoken throughout the world today, it seems inconceivable that there could be double (or more) just a few hundred years ago (I have found estimates of the language number pre-contact to be ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, with perhaps another 1500 in South America). And speaking of contact, exactly which contact are we speaking of? The Spanish (Columbus, 1492?), French, Portuguese and Dutch all had just as much (if not more) influence on replacing and erasing native languages, and prior to these Europeans, the Vikings "discovered" the continent. So I would not say that English solely replaced all these languages (as Spanish had already begun working on that task ~516 years ago).
But, you do bring up a good point, with the non-believer having just as much right as others.
Note: I hope this isn't taken as overly argumentative. It provided me with another opportunity to learn and think, as well as a much needed break from some reading. And if I'm argumentative, then at least some portion of those genes are yours! I love you mom.

'tens of thousands' changed to 'perhaps a thousand' - and i suspect 'dialects' is more accurate than 'languages'. it was a blatant error. thanks. it is cool that you are getting to be an expert on this stuff and caught it!
people get all wound up about 'heritage' being certain things. but an idea can be a bigger part of the heritage than a certain culture or specific founding people, and in this case, the big idea of america was doing things in a new and different way. freedom and opportunity for that. for diversity and appreciation of that. tradational norwegian AND german hotdishes at the lutheran church basement dinner. and then when they sponsor a family from vietnam, vietnamese dishes. not rejecting that because norwegian and german are the 'heritage' but getting that appreciation of each culture's contribution is the heritage and welcoming it. inclusiveness. that is the what the heritage is!

Question: How did you draw the conclusion that Islam is an 'add on' to Christianity?
The way I learned it Abraham's firstborn son Ishmael (with Hagaar) was, more or less, the 'beginning' of the great nation of Islam; which perhaps then even predates Judaism (which resulted from Isaac and then Jacob's offspring). Or, am I wrong in that? I am still learning, and would be interested in what you have learned about the history and heritage of the differing religions.

i am far from an expert on religious history and as an atheist, do not wish to pretend to be the expert on any particular religon. you can find the basic premises of each system in a number of places on the internet and plenty of discussion blogs for that purpose. i use the term 'add-on' because islam came after and claims truth in aspects of christianity and reinterprets other aspects of christianity and judaism. I have learned most of what i know via the contributors at www.debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com

|The magic adapter
There are various workmen all day long, painting and fixing a multitude of small problems: from leaking taps and scary electricity outlets to shitty shutters. Every day we find something new that needs repairing. In general,
I find that each day is full of surprises here ,
and they aren't unexpected surprises, we should know better by now.
An example. A few days ago we bought a TV. There was already a cable connection in the house so we thought to simply plug the TV, connect it to the decoder et voila. Wrong. On day 1, after unpacking the TV, it appeared to have an American plug. Arrrgghh, and I though I got rid of these indefinitely when leaving Belize. The decoder also did not fit, the 'prise peritel' could not be plugged into the modern flat screen TV - yes, we have those in Tana. I call the shop, Courts, for advise, and they send their technician the next day. On day 2 we're told to buy a special adapter somewhere in a backstreet shop down town Tana. Risking a life time jail sentence I drive to the shop, through a street where a lot, a lot a lot of people are walking, praying I don't run over one. Back home we reconnect the plug... nothing. It turns out there is no power at all in the outlet. Now my husband risk his life, electrocution and all, and manages to fix the plug. On day 3 we have image but no sound. The magic adapter, no doubt made in China, appears faulty and has to be returned to the shop. I have to wait til day 4 for our driver to take me there. On day 5 we're finally watching TV.
To be honest: I feel like hibernating. The current weather suits a good winter sleep: gray skies, cold drizzles and a foggy, humid mornings. Just for one month, until the house is ready and our belongings have arrived. Can someone wake me up in September please?

Newquay tourist brochure 1960s
Funny thing is malibu surfers were treated like aliens in the early 60s in Newquay by the older residents , and malibu riding was banned on some beaches for being a dangerous hazard to other beach users ie tourists.
As soon as the town council and all the guest house owners saw how much money surfing could bring to the town their attitude completely changed ! Hence this brochure, bringing the Californian lifestyle to little old Cornwall.

Section L/ Ambulatory Surgery Center Waiting Area
Home to our Ambulatory Surgery Center. Upon entering patients are greeted by a patient-focused reception staff and are easily directed to the pre-certification area to fill out necessary paperwork prior to surgery. Both visitors and family members of the surgical patients are particularly pleased with the waiting area which includes a flat-screen TV, refreshments center, and seating that comfortably holds more than 24 people.
Upon admission to the Ambulatory Surgery Center you will be assessed by a nurse in the pre-operative area. A patient's health history, vital signs, current medications, and anesthesia history will be reviewed. The type of anesthesia and surgery planned for you will determine the need to change into hospital attire and have an IV started. You may receive pre-operative medications if your physician determines the need. Confirmation of your surgery site is verified and a surgical permit is signed for the planned procedure. The nurse will explain what will occur in the operating room and what to expect in the recovery room. Ambulatory Surgery center staff encourages family participation in the pre-operative and recovery room areas.
For both physicians and patients, the best features of the Ambulatory Surgery Center are the two spacious operating rooms that allow excellent flow for staff, multiple placements of operating room table, and plenty of room for instrument tables and the latest monitoring/video equipment.
The 6-bay recovery area offers privacy, space for family to be present, and constant monitoring by the nurse.

Our patient had 2277 grafts with Dr. Cole over two procedures. His first was on 10-24-2011 when he received 835 grafts. His second surgery was on 8-27-2012 for 1442 grafts.
The posted photos include before photos and the results from those two surgeries. Some photos were of wet hair as well as dry. The shot with his hair parted down the middle shows some slight thinness in the frontal area he addressed today with an additional 636 grafts to increase density.

Fishing has been a wonderful tradition and sport for years. It is often said that fishing at its worst is better than working at its best. When you fish, you get to experience the outdoors, which is one of the benefits of picking up this hobby. Finding out about different techniques can make fishing even more exciting, in addition to helping your skills. This article contains various tips and tricks to ensure you have lots of fun when fishing.
If you are using shad to bottom fish, then you should cut the bait's tail prior to placing it on the hook. You can prevent your bait from doing anything weird like spinning. Fish find the scent of blood very alluring, so cutting the tail helps your chances of catching a fish.
A fishing hook that's sharp is something that is important to have when fishing. The hook is necessary to ensure that the fish remains on the line until you get it to the boat. You should be very diligent in frequently ensuring that your hooks are sharp. Before each outing, replace or sharpen those that are dull.
Fishermen need to wear clothing that blends in easily with surroundings. While they don't have good eyesight, fish can see color and may be frightened away by overly colorful, noticeable items. When it comes to clothing, opt for earth tones.
People who are fishing in streams should always cast upstream and let the current sweep your bait or lure into your fishing hole. This gives a much more natural appearance and will greatly increase your chances of getting a bite. Ensure that you don't have a lot of slack in the water.
Try to plan your first few fishing trips to include an experienced fisherman. They will teach you both the do's and dont's you need to know to keep safe and have fun.
Always take along sunscreen when you go on a fishing excursion, even if it feels cold outside. Sunlight can burn your skin no matter what the temperature is, and while you fish you will be exposed to bright reflections off the water's surface.
Checking the weather before your fishing trip will help you stay safe. Since weather can rapidly change, you should take a weather radio with you so you can keep on top of current weather conditions.
When new to fishing, go out with an experienced fisherman. In addition to providing you with tips, they can also show you things you can do to avoid dangerous situations.
If you are discovering that you're losing many fish off your lure, then you probably need to thoroughly check the hooks. Many fisherman don't know that hooks can become blunted or twisted with time. This affects the ability of the hook to catch securely. One way to ensure that your favorite lure properly works is to change the hooks regularly.
Remain quiet and still while you fish. More than just about any other disturbance, a loud noise will scare fish fast. Move silently, whisper and keep noise to a minimum to keep the fish within your area.
Every catch does not mean it should be kept. It is common courtesy to release smaller catches, as well as excessive catches. By controlling the number of fish you take out from a particular lake, it helps ensure that it will have plenty of fish in future seasons.
When you are attaching a hook to your line, it is best to make use of a clinch knot. Just like threading a needle, you will slip the tip of the line through the eye of the hook. Proceed by looping the line around itself 5 times before securing it by passing it through the eye again and into the first loop. Finish the knot by pulling the end through the loop as tightly as you can.
Although fishing near plants can be a bit irritating, it can be worth the headache. Keep in mind, that although your line may snag, the fish are quite happy feeding on the bugs near the plants and may provide you with a bigger catch.
When fishing for bass, use light-colored grubs as bait. Gray, chartreuse, white or yellow grubs are especially effective. Translucent grubs are great because they reflect light and attract fish. If you're having issues catching fish, try using a grub that is the same color as the water.
Those interested in fishing properly need to understand how to set their hook. A hook that is done quickly is important when you're fishing, particularly when you're fishing with lures. If you do not set the hook properly, you will lose the fish after all the effort you put in to get the bite.
When you are fishing on the bank, you must be extra careful not to set anything on fire. Because you are surrounded by foliage and not just water, you have to be especially careful about where you discard your cigarettes. While the bank might be wet, there is dry foliage all around that can easily catch on fire.
As you stock your tackle box and boat for a fishing trip, you must include all necessary tools and gear. When considering which lures and live bait to take with you, consider what type of fish you intend to catch. You are going to need to learn a bit about the right bait for the right fish.
Pay attention to the direction and strength of the wind. If the wind picks up, the fish will most likely follow the water current and wind up congregating at one end of the lake. Be sure to cast into the wind. On the other hand, when the wind is very strong, making casting difficult, the fish will likely gather at the bottom, out of reach.
If you happen to just enjoy the sport of fishing and do not intend to eat the catch, it is always good sport to practice catch and release. To do this, you just need to remove the hook from any fish you catch, then return it to the water. This will allow the fish population to grow larger, resulting in more fishing opportunities in the future.
Buy high quality fishing rods for the very best fishing experiences. Low-quality rods might be cheap, but you'll pay more in the end because they break due to poor quality control. You will save money in the long run by buying one high-quality rod rather than multiple low-quality ones.
Try to learn a few knots before you go out on a fishing trip. If you tie a good knot, your hook will be sure to stay attached to the line when a fish pulls on it, and it will assist you in changing your equipment when you need to. The more you practice tying knots the faster and better you will become.
Love the clouds. If the day is overcast, less light enters the water, and fish are forced to swim around more in search of food. This make it take longer for fish to find food, which increases the probability that you will encounter fish looking for a meal. Most fish are not active if the water is not warm enough.
Take advantage of the natural current. If you spot a current while you're fishing, just go with it. Letting the current take the lure, and giving it occasional tugs, makes it more appetizing to the hungry fish. This will help get the fishes' attention.
If you do not plan to keep the fish you caught, do not fight the fish when reeling him in. The fighting can actually harm the fish, leading to it's death. Just let it go if it is giving you a hard time.
If you are not having any luck fishing, stick it out. You must be patient to fish well. Spend at least a half hour fishing a new area before deciding on its full potential.
