In return for my help on the Geodome project Rachel and David agreed to let me plant a small area of their land with ash trees. This long term coppicing project began in Winter 2008 with the planting of 30 – 40 ash trees (bare root stock) in 3 lines at the bottom of one of their fields.
To plant trees using the method described below you will need the following:
- 1 x spade,
- 1 x tree (in this case bare root stock)
- 1 x tree guard
- 1 x stake
- 1m sq black mulching plastic/old carpet
The process for planting bare root stock (small whips approx 1ft tall) is this:
- Push spade in to make two slits in a "T" shape. Full spade depth.
- Lift turf by levering spade in slits.
- Place Bare root stock in the gap created, making sure roots all covered.
- Take out spade and firmly tread on turf around tree.
- Place tree guard around tree, and push in stake to support it (avoid damaging roots!)
- Cut a slit in centre of black mulching plastic just large enough to fit around tree guard.
- Place plastic over tree guard, flat on ground so that tree is rising out of centre.
- Push corners of plastic into ground with spade to secure it, and prevent wind from blowing it around.
It was a rainy, blustery Winters day when i planted the trees, but who should turn up just as I was finishing….
…and from meeting them all that day Annie decided to invite me to the residency at Treloan.

Love the lines in this one. Just been looking at the Mariner/Dore illustrations and they use lines in similar ways (don't they?).

I'm pretty in awe of Doré - lots of the stuff we see of his as illustrations are etchings - too too skilled for a buffoon like me! The one or two hours I get to work on each page is not enough for such wizardry. And someone always knocks the table when I'm working! I do try to make the composition as interesting as brain power and time on any given evening permits though. Do you like the symbolists generally?

True Blood –
May Be the Last Time
Another mixed bag tonight folks, but literally, split right now the middle in terms of what rocked and what absolutely feel flat.
Eric's frustration is starting to set in and it's wonderfully done especially balanced with Pam's reaction to his outbursts. It's adding a totally different dynamic, especially when juxtaposed with how Sookie, Jessica, and Bill are handling the HEP V stuff.
I keep saying how Eric, Pam, and Lafayette are the ones saving the show, but as of tonight, after the scene with Sam, I'm adding Arlene to that list. That scene with Sam (and some extent Andy & Holly at the lake in Oklahoma) addresses something about the show that we've all wondered for years, "Why don't these people just leave Bon Temp?" It might not have given an answer we wanted to hear…but it addressed it and at leat
The flashbacks are back, still mean nothing and drag down the show. In terms of the negatives of the final season, these flashbacks as well as the stuff with Arlene and Andy's kids are meaning nothing. I get that they are building to something with Jessica, but still, there was a clearer path to take.
In summation, One Last Time, has told us:
"Any episode that starts with Eric, Pam, & the Japanese Cowboy is gonna have something good. Arlene ending up with a vampire would be so wonderful considering how she started. Yeah Jason, hit on another one of Hoyt's girlfriends. Does that doctor take HMO? If not, think she'd be my drinkin buddy? Sookie needs barely HALF an excuse to ugly cry. Buddhism vs Christianity is a debate that belongs on True Blood…apparently. Sarah seeing those people, will not have an explanation. Sookie and Bill have really boring sex."
Another solid effort, I do still think there is some stuff we could do without, especially with three more episodes left. That said, at least have a good balance for the most part.
Keep geek.

Gold Knight is the second part of the Golden Knight equipment quest line and introduces the boss known as The Golden Knight. The ultimate prize for completing the quest line is Mustaine's Milestone Mashing Morningstar. The quest can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems by players of level 40 or higher. The quest owner also receives a copy of the quest scroll for completing Part 1 of the quest line, A Stern Talking-To.
A player needs to be level 40 or above to initiate the quest. Lower level party members are still able to participate in the quest.
The Golden Knight's HP (1000) makes this a long quest and its strength multiplier (3) makes this a very difficult quest. Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party can typically finish this quest in between three and four weeks. The very high difficulty means missed Dailies will cause higher amounts of damage to the group; having a Healer in the party is highly recommended.
Armed with dozens of Habiticans' testimonies, you finally confront the Golden Knight. You begin to recite the Habitcans' complaints to her, one by one. "And @Pfeffernusse says that your constant bragging-" The knight raises her hand to silence you and scoffs, "Please, these people are merely jealous of my success. Instead of complaining, they should simply work as hard as I! Perhaps I shall show you the power you can attain through diligence such as mine!" She raises her morningstar and prepares to attack you!
Defeat the Golden Knight.

Torrid Little Affair by Kendall Ryan
FIVE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from Ari
Narration: Zachary Webber, Ava Erickson
Length: 5 hrs, 31 mins
The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. And I have the perfect candidate all picked out.
My new assistant is tempting beyond belief with her curvy body and take-no-shit attitude. All those luscious curves, and a juicy ass I'm already in love with. God, the things that I would do to that ass…
But it's the haunted look in her eyes that speaks to me. Like she's taken just as much shit in her past as I have—maybe more. We both deserve a little fun.
Love can't fix everything. Mind-blowing sex and a few killer orgasms, on the other hand?
I have a feeling those might do the trick.
This is book three in the Forbidden Desires series, but it can be read as a complete standalone.
"The best way to got over someone is to get under someone else. And I have the best candidate all picked out…"
Holy hot audiobook batman!! This was such an a good book. Kendall Ryan totally knocks it put of the park and sets the bar super high with Torrid Little Affair. Chemistry between Cooper and Corrine was off the charts and there are plenty of freaking hot smexy scenes that had me fanning myself. There was also great character development and watching the characters grow together and individually was really satisfying. I flew right threw this audio and wished there was more because I didn't want it to end.
Zachary Webber and Ava Erickson are perfection narrating. They ooze sensuality and their aural chemistry sizzles. I'll listen to them read me the phone book!

Lynn Cheney Courageously Opposes Anti-Gay Amendment
Lynn and Dick Cheney have a successful lesbian daughter, Mary, who is working as director of vice presidential operations for the Bush-Cheney campaign. Although this fact hasn't stopped the Vice President from standing behind a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage, it apparently has given his wife, Lynn Cheney, pause. In courageous public comments yesterday, Lynn put herself publicly at odds with her husband on the issue: "First of all, to be clear that people should be free to enter into their relationships that they choose. And, secondly, to recognize what's historically been the situation, that when it comes to conferring legal status on relationships, that is a matter left to the states," she said.

PPL Electric Utilities seeks OK for Pennsylvania transmission rebuild
PPL Electric Utilities filed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission for approval to rebuild the existing single-circuit Breinigsville-Alburtis 500-kV Transmission Line to a double-circuit configuration.
The line extends about six miles from the existing Breinigsville 500-138-69-kV substation in Upper Macungie Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, to the existing Alburtis 500-230-kV substation in Lower Macungie Township, Lehigh County, the company said.
The entire project would be built entirely within the existing Breinigsville-Alburtis line rights of way (ROWs) and on PPL Electric's property for the Breinigsville and Alburtis substations.
The company also said that the project is required to improve reliability and operational performance, reduce the potential for and duration of outages, and increase system operability in Lehigh County.
Subject to the commission's approval, construction is scheduled to begin in May 2018, to support the in-service date of March 2019.
The company also said that the total estimated cost of the proposed project is about $33 million.
The proposed project was presented at the PJM Interconnection Mid-Atlantic Sub-Regional Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP) stakeholder meeting in April 2015, and has been approved as supplemental project s0864 in the PJM RTEP, the company said.
Further discussing the need for the project, the company noted that the existing Wescosville 500-138-69-kV substation – which is currently supplied by a single 500-kV tap off the existing single-circuit Susquehanna-Wescosville 500-kV Transmission Line – serves customers in parts of Lehigh County.
The Susquehanna-Wescosville line extends from the Susquehanna 500-230-kV substation to the tap point with the Wescosville substation. From the tap point, the company added, the 500-kV line continues to the Breinigsville substation – that segment is referred to as the Wescosville-Breinigsville 500-kV Transmission Line.
The Breinigsville substation is also interconnected with the existing single-circuit Breinigsville-Alburtis line.
The company added that its system planning studies have determined that the loss of the Susquehanna-Lackawanna 500-kV Transmission Line, followed by the loss of the Susquehanna-Wescosville line, an N-1-1 contingency, creates an unacceptable voltage drop and low voltage on the 138-kV and 69-kV transmission lines supplied by the Wescosville substation and the Breinigsville substation.
In addition, the 500-kV yard at the Wescosville substation is directly tapped off the Susquehanna-Wescosville line. That line is about 67 miles long, which puts the line at high risk of exposure to faults, the company added. A fault on the Susquehanna-Wescosville line would trip the 500-138-kV transformer, which is the single 500-kV source for the Wescosville substation. Furthermore, the company added, a fault on the Susquehanna-Wescosville line would remove one of the 500-kV sources to the Breinigsville substation.

The eleventh-hour debate Tuesday about Costa Mesa's budget largely focused on a single line item: lighting for parking lots in and around Fairview Park.
The council unanimously approved the $132.3-million budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year. A $650,000 allocation for the lighting was approved in a separate 3-2 vote, with Councilwomen Wendy Leece and Sandy Genis dissenting.
Speakers widely criticized the lights, which would be added at the park's parking lots off Placentia Avenue. The allocation also includes new lights or improvements for existing and planned lights at the end of Pacific Avenue and Canyon Drive, both of which abut the park's southern edge.

One of the founding fathers of Whistler, and "one of the smartest guys in the ski business," is retiring.
Hugh Smythe, who moved to Whistler in 1966 at the age of 19 to work as a ski patroller, will be stepping down as Senior Vice President of Intrawest Mountain Resorts on March 12.
"It's one of those days. There's the euphoria and excitement of doing something new, and the nostalgia of leaving something behind," Smythe said Monday.
Family, friends and health were some of the personal priorities he cited in deciding to shift his focus after 43 years in the ski business.
"I've had a few friends with health problems, a few who've passed away. I just looked in the mirror," Smythe said.
But he emphasized he's not going anywhere. He will remain an advisor to Intrawest and is looking forward to the next year, particularly the Olympics.
"I want to experience that as a local."
Smythe, 62, has been present at, and played a role in, almost all of the key moments in Whistler's development as a mountain resort. Among the highlights he listed are: leading the group that was awarded the rights to develop Blackcomb in the 1970s and the opening of Blackcomb and Whistler Village in December 1980; meeting Intrawest CEO Joe Houssian in 1986 and convincing Intrawest to buy into Blackcomb; bringing a T-bar to Blackcomb from Alberta's Fortress Mountain and opening up the 7 th Heaven area in 1985; spearheading Intrawest's expansion to other mountain resorts; bringing Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb together as one company in 1996; the awarding of the 2010 Olympics in July 2003; and the opening of the Peak 2 Peak gondola last December.
"It feels like a chronology, points in time you look back and go 'wow, that was amazing.'
"I was extremely lucky to be given opportunities and challenges at a young age," said Smythe, who was leading the Whistler Mountain Ski Patrol at the age of 21. "I wanted to make sure our staff had the same opportunities."

Your playground
You will become a part of our professional environment where we involve employees in the entire development process, so you do not end up spending your entire life at work in the same capacity (unless you want to).
We expect you to challenge us and we will do our best to challenge you.

The tasks are not strictly defined in advance, allowing you, within your team, to drive them in the direction you feel is right. Initially, we imagine that your tasks will include:
- You will be part of the development team at the clients site, and with your high professional level of skills, you will help to set the standards for every solution

- You will participate in agile development teams of different sizes, where you will be in close dialogue with customers, partners and our own people
You are sharp

- Has experience within the life pension domain
- A person who possesses a natural feel for performance and code that can be scaled on multiple levels

- A strong theorist but with solid practical experience - including within agile development methods and design patterns

Professionally, you should be able to affirm that you:
- Have your computer science foundation solidly in place - you are perhaps a graduate of computer science, computer engineering, cand.it or equivalent
- Are passionate and responsible regarding your code so you always deliver a job that you can be proud of
- Look forward to joining a team and you understand the value of involvement and compromise
- Good at sparring with your colleagues and at providing input to solutions
- Willing to fight for your convictions - and for spreading the right ideas throughout the organization
- Are able to maintain the overview, but at the same time not afraid to get your hands dirty by participating in development

Researchers: Major Anti-Virus Software Have Serious Security Problems
The conventional description of anti-virus programs says that they provide a necessary layer of protection, but organizations should start auditing such programs before integrating them on their systems because many of them include serious security problems, according to Joxean Koret, a security researcher at COSEINC, a Singapore-based security firm.
Koret says that anti-virus programs are as vulnerable to attacks as the apps they claim to protect and make for a large threat surface that can make systems more vulnerable to attacks. The researcher recently presented his study results at the SyScan 360 security conference in Beijing this month.
He also explained how he utilized a custom fuzzing suite to uncover remote and exploitable local flaws in 14 of 17 major search engines. The effect solutions include those offered by popular vendors such as AVG, Avira, Avast, Comodo, DrWeb, Bitdefender, F-Prot, F-Secure, ESET and Panda. ESET and Avast patched their software by the time of the presentation.
"Exploiting AV engines is not different to exploiting other client-side applications," Koret said in his presentation. "They don't use any special self-protections and rely on anti-exploitation technologies in the OS like ASLR (address space layout randomization) and DEP (data execution prevention); and sometimes they even disable those features."
The next problem according to Koret is that anti-virus programs are deployed with administrator privileges, which gives them the ability to perform actions such as modifying and removing malicious software and scanning the entire system. So if an anti-virus program is compromised, it could give hackers extensive power to abuse the system on which it was deployed.
"Most antivirus engines run with the highest privileges: root or local system," Koret said. "If one can find a bug and write an exploit for the AV engine, (s)he just won root or system privileges."
He also stated that anti-virus programs can have flaws, including zero-day-vulnerabilities, just like another computer program, simply because humans wrote them. For instance, most anti-virus solutions are updated through insecure HTTP connections, and most of the updates are not verified cryptographically.
He argues that it could be easy for would-be hackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks by intercepting a program's HTTP connection, coming between the client machines and the server update, thereby gaining access to the anti-virus programs on enterprise and home PCs.
"Exploiting AV engines is not different to exploiting other client-side applications. They don't have or offer any special self-protection. They rely on the operating system features (ASLR/DEP) and nothing else and sometimes they even disable such features."
Koret didn't report the discovered vulnerabilities to all vendors, because he thinks that vendors should take responsibility to audit the solutions they pick and deploy bug bounty programs to attract independent research.
He also recommended vendors to use programming languages that are safer than C++ and C, not using high privileges when parsing files and network packets because "file parsers written in C/C++ code are very dangerous," featuring vulnerable code in sandboxes or emulators, removing code for old threats that haven't been touched in a while, and taking advantage of SSL and digital signatures for updates.
Koret recommends that AV users shouldn't trust their AV product, adding that if indeed they trust their solution they should always take note of the following:
- The company should not be using highest privileges it can for scanning files and network packets
- Should take charge of auditing
- Run dangerous scripts and codes under a virtual machine, an emulator, or in a sandbox
- Shouldn't trust their own solutions
- Finally, should utilize SSL/TLS for updating their solutions and sign all files digitally
According to the Inquirer, Bitdefender was contacted on the issue. This is what the company spokesman said:
"We have fixed the bugs which he has published proof of concept exploits for, within days of publication. Since the announcement, we have also conducted an internal code audit, fixed a number of other bugs and made changes to our build and QA processes which should result in far sturdier code and prevent similar situations in the future."
He said that, "We are still not in possession of the list of alleged bugs found by Koret, so we cannot tell if we have fixed them all, or, indeed, even if they are all reproducible."
F-Secure agreed to the vulnerability:
"We worked together with the researcher to analyze and fix the vulnerabilities," said an F-Secure spokesperson. "All the vulnerabilities reported to us have been fixed through our normal vulnerability fix process and automatically deployed to our customers. This includes the vulnerabilities reported to us in the Bitdefender engine, which we also use in some of our products."
The company thanked Koret "for his important work", and for collaborating with the company's researchers for improving products. "To our knowledge, the vulnerabilities have never been used to attack our customers."
ESET said:
"ESET proactively contacted [Koret] to learn more about the issue. ESET resolved the problem and published an update in less than three days."
"ESET always welcomes researchers who follow responsible disclosure procedures of bugs and issues. While we do everything possible to ensure that products are fault free, sadly no software is perfect."
AVG is yet to respond to the Inquirer.

Is It Worth It: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
One of the most iconic watches ever, the Rolex Daytona became a collector's piece and a must-have in every watch lover's list. But we must ask – at $13,600 for the steel model to the $85,700 for the platinum version – is it worth it? Let's take a look at the pros and cons.
Rolex started in 1908 producing fine watches, and since 1926 – when they released the first waterproof watch, the "Oyster", made famous thanks to the famous English Channel crossing by the British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze –, they established the brand as a sports watch.
Yes, they have been producing a "social" model, the Cellini, since the 1970s, but let's be frank – do you know anyone who owns a Cellini? If you do, congratulations! Almost everyone I know wants a Rolex Oyster, a water-resistant watch.
With the exception of the quartz models, Cellini and Oyster (produced until 2001), Rolex has always been renowned for their automatic winding models. The Cosmograph Daytona was a spin-off of their 1950's chronograph and we talked about it here.
Created in 1963, it became an icon when Paul Newman wore it in the 1969 racing movie Winning!
The watch that became known as Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Paul Newman" model got many versions, but the most famous were those with the so-called "Panda" dials – white dial with black subdials and vice-versa, resembling the "bear" eyes. (Rolex called them "exotic dials.")
Nowadays, those Daytonas sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and their epitome was the recent sale of Paul Newman's own "Cosmograph Daytona Paul Newman" for the sum of US$ 17.8 MM. Yes, you read right, millions.
In some countries, however – such as in Brazil – the original Rolex Cosmograph Daytona did not sell well. The reason? Well, every Rolex fan was used to their "perpetual" automatic movement, patented in 1931. But the Daytona had a mechanical winding mechanism, a fact that made it stay unsold on dealers' showcases. Nobody wanted to use a Rolex that had to be wound manually.
Some European collectors began to buy those "new old stock" Daytonas around the world and their prices began to rise in auctions. Small differences in the dials made a watch gain thousands of dollars over their plainer versions. And so the collector fever started.
Later, in 1988, Rolex redesigned the Daytona. First, they replaced the older Valjoux mechanism with a Zenith El Primero self-winding movement, one of the best chronograph mechanisms ever made. It was altered by Rolex to reduce the need for maintenance. Also, instead of the smaller case diameter of the first models (37 mm), now the watch had a 40 mm case, screw-down chronograph pushers and a sapphire crystal instead of a plastic window.
It was the time when the demand for chronographs took off: buyers would wait up to three years for a Daytona because the movement supply was limited by Zenith's production. Rolex developed their own chronograph movement, the Calibre 4130, releasing the first Cosmograph Daytona with this mechanism in 2000. This decade also saw the launch of many new versions of the iconic watch, such as a steel/gold model (2000), a white gold one (2004), and the Everose pink gold, a metal developed by Rolex and released in 2008. In 2013, celebrating 50 years of the Cosmograph Daytona, Rolex created the Platinum with a ceramic bezel.
Presently, you will find many versions of this watch, with the metal of the case, dial, strap or bracelet making up the possibilities. It is water resistant to 100 meters, an important point for comparison purposes.
But now comes the $64,000 question – or, in the case of the platinum version, the $86,000 question: is it worth it?
The only thing you should not say is, "well, I have a satellite-controlled watch in my pocket and so I don't need a wristwatch." Yes, you do have that on your smartphone. But gentlemen should never be impolite by checking the time there during a meeting or at the table; it is too obvious and even offensive to anyone they may be talking to. A subtle glance at a wristwatch is a much better way to check the time.
If your primary reason for wearing a timepiece is that, well, you have literally thousands of options, and many are much cheaper than the steel Daytona. Even if your primary goal is using the chronograph per se at the horse track or at the men's 100 meters event, you have hundreds of watch models to choose from. Should you go for the Daytona?
What would be the closest competitor for the Rolex Cosmograph? I would say that it would be another iconic watch, the Omega Speedmaster "Moonwatch". We talked about it here and here.
Presently, the original Moonwatch in stainless steel sells for $5,100 – less than half the Daytona in steel. Omega's model is slightly larger, with a 42 mm case, but it is water resistant only up to a depth of 50 meters. In terms of chronography, both watches have the same functions: a large seconds hand, and subdials for minutes and hours. Both have luminescent hands and hour markers.
Daytona or Speedmaster?
Both brands have an excellent reputation, even though Rolex has a slight edge over Omega; so, if your motivation is looking for a status symbol, go to Rolex.
Both models have the same chronographic functions. You would have to be very picky to say that the Omega tachymeter goes up to 500 (units per hour) and Rolex's goes only to 400. I bet you will never have to measure an average speed in excess of 300 mph.
In commercial terms, a Rolex seldom loses value, and sometimes even appreciates over time; if you ever think of selling it in an auction or on eBay, it will sell faster than the Speedmaster, even though this watch will not be as expensive as the Daytona.
If your primary use for the Daytona is a weekend, sports watch, fine. However, if you think of wearing it with a jacket or suit, it will not be as discrete as the Speedmaster, in spite of the latter being 2 mm larger. Actually, I would not endorse any chronograph with a business attire.
Finally, if your main concern is the impact on your budget, you should obviously go for the Omega Speedmaster, at less than half the price of the Rolex Cosmograph.
The final decision will depend on your own evaluation of the arguments we presented above. Rest assured, though, that whatever model you end up buying will be an excellent timepiece, that will give you many years of carefree service.

The climate is _______ [mild] ____ and the air is usually ___ [fresh] ___.
_____ [Sydney] _____ is well-known as a _____ [pleasant] _____ place to live, with _______ [fine beaches] _______ [good shopping] ______.
However, it is also a ____ [major industrial city] ____, with ___ [heavy traffic] and many ______ [factories and offices] ______ .
b) Procedure
1. If the class has good enough English, prime them by asking how they would describe their city a) to a tourist; b) to a businessman; c) to a foreign journalist looking for an interesting angle on the city.
2. Give the class the incomplete cloze text. Sample answers may be written in from the teacher's home town for a slow class, but be careful they don't simply copy the teacher's answer into their own text!
3. Give the class a jumbled list of words that can all be used somewhere in the cloze. The list should be much larger than the available empty slots. Make sure all the words are understood. Elicit other words to add to the list.
4. Ask students to fill in the cloze.
5. Ask students to deliver the text orally to a neighbour. When they speak they should be looking at the other person. It is OK to look down quickly, memorize a phrase, look up, and THEN speak. Students should be coaxed to speak with natural rhythm and intonation.
6. Better students may be asked to construct a tour and visit itinerary for an international visitor. The will have to decide on how many days, where to visit and in what order and why, transport details such as bus numbers and times, and a time frame for each place visited.

Million-Dollar Baby
The other day I was talking to an 18-year-old who signed up for the Navy. They hooked her by promising to put a million dollars in her bank account after six months of service. This is obviously a complete lie, the first of several falsified, cleverly-worded promises. She bought it, autographed a lifetime contract, which means the Navy owns the last breath she'll ever breathe and every breath till then. She was hoodwinked and outsmarted and now she's government property. That's what these recruiters do. They target the poor and the dumb and prey on them. It's criminal. Try shooting that routine to Little Calib at North Colonie. His mother would've had that recruiter arrested. Calib goes to college. Vo-Tec kid goes to Iraq.
Should we be paying fake-homage to young people who sign on for this? At nationwide high school graduations this month, new recruits in all branches of the Armed Services, will accept their diplomas, donning the same uniform they'll one day be buried in. Everyone will obligatorily applaud their bravery and make them believe we respect what they're doing. But every smart parent is actually thinking: Thank God that's not my kid. If it was socially acceptable to confront these young people with the severity of their decision, less would sign on and sacrifice their lives, because they believe the Government is going to give them a million dollars and people are genuinely clapping their "brave choice." If we told them the truth: You're going immediately to war, there is a chance you're going to be killed at the hands of a total stranger, they might--um--reconsider. Maybe.
I read an article in the TIMES UNION about Albany native Todd Clark, a 40-year-old Lt. Colonel killed in Afghanistan this weekend. Why was he killed? Who knows? But we do know he leaves behind a wife and two young children who will never know their father, but will be able to call his mantle-piece picture hero. Hero or not, he's dead 40 years too soon, murdered in the desert dirt, then shipped home in a flag-covered box like luggage.
Here's where I have to say Todd Clark was a hero and he's the reason I get to enjoy my American Freedoms, and all that other stuff politicians spout to get elected. If Todd was selling cars on Central Ave right now, I'd have the same exact life. But hey, he got a million dollars after six months, right? What? His wife has to work and raise two kids and just squeak by? You mean that million-dollar thing was a recruitment lie.
"Brian, who will protect your American freedoms?" Well, we got about 200,000 able-bodied boys doing push-ups in prison cells, costing the economy millions of dollars a day. They can protect my freedoms and Todd Clark can sell cars. "Don't be ridiculous, Brian, they're hardened criminals." I thought we were rehabbing them for the betterment of society. If they can't even go to Afghanistan and put bullets in "bad guys," why are keeping them around?
I love the old they'll-pay-for-my-college logic. First off, they probably won't. Second, who cares? You want to give up ages 18-22 to save a few thousand dollars? So instead of bars, and girls, and concerts, and spring breaks, and an enjoyable education, you're going to Afghanistan so you don't have to pay back college-loan debt? I'll take the loans over war. I'll take Attica over war. I have no interest in leaving America at 18 years old to chase Middle Easterners around their hell-on-earth country. America is the greatest thing in the history of the world. We have HD TV, Disney World, and Tom Coughlin. I'm not going anywhere if I don't have to. And guess what? We could stay in Afghanistan for 200 years, and radical attacks against America will still happen.
Is this Afghan War STILL about 9/11? Didn't we kill every single person who had anything to do with that? Why are Americans still being mortar-bombed 13 years later? I'll tell you why: George W. Bush. Bush II ruined this country. He ruined education, economics, housing, the auto industry, long walks on the beach, and of course the military. He ruined everything. The only silver lining I can see when I read about guys like Todd Clark and talk to people like my 18-year-old friend is that Obama only took four years to plug the toxic spill that was the GW Presidency.
The other day I watched Channel 10 News, with my boy John Gray as anchor, and the Around the Nation Stories were as follows: Unemployment down, market up, housing back, education on the mend. Obama's next four years are going to be golden, a miracle after Bush. And when he puts America back on total track, maybe more people will decide to take on college and/or the work force instead of falling for the fear-driven lies sold to children by the Armed Services. But probably not.

New to the Forum
I'm new to the forum but not new to being a caregiver. I was Mom's caregiver 30 yrs ago when she was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Now 30yrs later I find myself dealing with Dad having dementia. I feel so stupid that I did not see the signs of it coming. Dad lives in FL and I live in NY. Last March Dad asked me to come down to FL to take him to an attorney to do a will, Health Care Proxy and DNR. I did and noticed he had tremors in his right hand. The heat was up to 90 degrees in his house. He had a shuffle in his gait. He had been losing a lot of weight and I noticed he seemed to be partially unshaven.
I flew down again in June for Father's Day and dad's demeanor was different – more combatitive. Normally Dad and I spoke at least once a week. By June he stopped calling me. While he never quite had my birthday right he'd always send a card. Last November I didn't get a card. I called him for Thanksgiving and Christmas. When my husband got on the line he didn't even recognize who he was. To make matters worse, the day after Christmas I get a phone call from the local police telling me that dad insisted there were people from the Government in his house putting tags on things. Of course, the Police investigated and found nothing. He claims to have heard from my prodigal brother who he hasn't heard or seen from in 25 years.
Then on January 10, I get a phone call from the hospital telling me dad is there with dementia and congestive hear failure. He's been transported to a Nursing home where he is incoherent. I am a total wreck. I can't concentrate at work, my husband is less than supportive calling dad "crazy". Is it me? Am I being too sensitive? When is it time for Hospice care? There was no Hospice when Mom got sick so this is all new to me. Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
User Posts
I am new to this form, this is my first post. My husband has been diagnosed with LBD, which I had never even heard of!! Oh well, do now. Am I scared? yes, I am. He quite frankly is in denial. Doesn't sound like this is going to be a fun ride. I worry about finances and I never know if his decision making is because of the LBD or it's a good day ?? He gets very defensive if I even ask him about bills. I pay the majority thank goodness. Now he has this great idea in his head that we should purchase a condo down in Myrtle Beach. We live in NY. Last year we sold our Winter haven in Florida because it was just getting too expensive. I've tried to talk him out of it. But, he claims all I think about is money and how just about everything has been taken away from him. He also has COPD.. took him two years to accept that!!
How do others cope ?? dona d
Another thing that is different from when your mother was ill is all the resources available to us on the Internet. Pretty amazing, really. You can find all kinds of information about the disease and also connect with other caregivers. I find both of those to be valuable ways to counteract the feelings of helplessness and isolation as I deal with my husband's Lewy Body Dementia.In a way your husband is right -- I wouldn't call your dad "crazy" but he is cognitively impaired. He has a progessive chronic condition for which there is no cure. But there are measures that can be taken to improve and preserve quality of life for your dad through each stage of the progession. Few of us want to abandom our loved ones when they become "crazy" in this way. Instead we want to contribute to the comfort, dignity, and meaningfulness of the rest of their lives. This is a hugely stressful undertaking. I hope your husband will come to see how much you need his support and encouragement right now. Doing this long distance adds stress to an already stressful situation. You need to take care of yourself as well as do what you can do for your dad. Your husband can play a big role in helping you take care of you, without getting directly involved in your father's care.It sounds like your Dad was thinking ahead last March when he set up some provisions for a time when he might be incapacitated. Are you his medical proxy, or it is someone more local to where he lives? If it is not you, is it someone you can work with comfortably in your dad's best interest?I have no direct experience with hospice but from what I've seen I would definitely want their services for my husband when he reaches the end stage. I hope others with experience will share their knowledge. Hospice is another topic you can research on the Internet.It's not you -- this is a hard, hard role we caregivers have been thrust into. Hang in there!

By @SimonCocking. Great interview with Theodora Lau. Market innovation for 50+
@AARP… #FinTech #DigitalHealth #Caregiving #InsurTech #startups #AI #IoT #banking | Work, Run, Drink, Eat, Repeat.
What is your background briefly?
My background is in Engineering. I have spent almost 20 years of my "prior life" in the telecommunications industry, focusing on solutions management and systems implementation.
Does it seem like a logical progression to what you do now?
Kind of. Financial services industry today is in some ways similar to the telecommunications sector 10-15 years ago. Back then, you had the "CLEC" and "MVNO" vying to take market share from the giants. The incumbents were plagued with legacy systems that did not talk to each other and they at times struggled to provide a seamless experience that consumers demanded. They were more focused on the "tech" than the value that they could provide to their customers. Both professionally and personally, I have always been intrigued by the impact of technology on how we live.

1 min pitch for what you do now?
For the past two years, I have been focusing on sparking innovation in the private sector for the benefit of the older demographics, and to empower them to create the financial future that they want. I'd love to see more entrepreneurs innovating for the financial needs of the older adults, and more venture capitalists funding those solutions.
How do you balance all your different interests / elements of what you do?
It's very tough, I'd be honest. I travel a ton for work, meeting startups, VCs, and accelerators. I go on long runs when my schedule allows in order to keep my mind fresh. I love to read (paper books), though I have a hard time finishing them.

What are you excited about in the near future?
I am excited about the energy in the startup space, particularly in the areas of FinTech and InsurTech, and the collaborative mindset between the financial institutions and startups. In the end, the consumers will benefit from better products and user experience. I am fascinated by the progress made in artificial intelligence and machine learning; think about how our lives and day-to-day experiences could be transformed!
I am also encouraged by the increased understanding of the need for diversity in tech. I am a big believer in diversity of thinking and problem solving. We live in a very heterogeneous world; it is natural that the diversity of the founders should mirror the society that we live in today. We are not quite there yet when it comes to gender parity, but we are one baby step closer.
How is it going trying to meet the unmet needs of older adults?
There are of course naysayers, people who assume older adults don't use tech, hence they think it is a waste of effort trying to innovate for them. But I have also met like-minded individuals and organizations who understand the importance of innovating for the 50-plus folks. I see more startups and VCs who are interested in the space. By the way, do you know that there are over 111 million Americans aged 50 and higher, and collectively they control over $30 trillion in investible assets? It's a big opportunity.
When people think of "old people", they automatically think of retirement. While preparing for retirement is a monumental task, the 50-plus also worry about rising healthcare costs and student loans, amongst other things. They need tools that can map out their end-to-end financial picture and help them make smarter choices and not outlive their savings.
To put it bluntly, this is hard work but immensely important.
You're based in DC, what are the pros and cons of being based there?
I have lived in DC since late 90s and I love it. It is a transient place due to the city being the nation's capital; people come and go. However, it is also a big melting pot and you run into individuals from all walks of life. I remember being on a project a while back where we had all continents represented (except Antarctica). That's pretty cool.
What tips would you give to others looking to develop and grow their businesses?
First and foremost, talk to your end customers. Spend time to understand their pain points and challenges; solicit their input on what might work and what might not. Worst thing you can do is innovating in a vacuum or designing solutions for the use case of 1. Be purposeful and don't assume.
Next, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster ride. There will be tough times ahead. Having been in two startups before, I can attest to the hard work and the sleepless nights. But don't stop believing. Be the change you wish to see in the world and make every day count. That's important.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I am extremely grateful for the help and support I have received from the FinTech and InsurTech communities, and the friendships I have since developed both online and offline, in particular, with Spiros Margaris, Brad Leimer, Jim Marous, and Danielle Guzman. They are my sounding boards and have make the long days more pleasant.

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman head coach Robert Gary has been named the 2017 NCAA Division I Cross Country Southeast Region Men's Coach of the Year, as announced Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Selections were voted on by member coaches from each division.
Gary, who is in his sixth season at the helm of the Paladin program, becomes the first Furman coach to win this award after leading the Paladin men to the 2017 NCAA Southeast Region Championship on Friday in Charlottesville, Va., the first region championship in the history of the Furman program. The Paladins scored 55 points for the victory in a field of 32 teams. Junior Aaron Templeton paced the Paladins on the 10K course with a time of 29:05.4 to finish fifth, becoming one of six Furman runners to earn a spot on the all-region team.
Gary was honored as the Southern Conference Men's Coach of the Year for the fifth-straight time after leading the Paladins, who are currently ranked seventh nationally, to their fifth-consecutive league championship last month. Gary was also chosen the SoCon Women's Coach of the Year for the fifth-consecutive season after leading the Furman women's program, which is ranked 11th nationally, to its fifth-straight league title.
"I am thrilled to see Robert being recognized for the years of hard work that he and his staff have put into establishing this program," said Furman Director of Athletics Mike Buddie. "The vision that Robert had for this program was bold, but recent results have shown that his vision has become a reality."

You Had To Establish A Routine To Reach Your Fitness Goals
When you are looking for good information to help you reach your fitness goals, you may have to sift through a lot of useless information. There is so much good information to be had, finding the right information is important. Luckily, the best tips are in this article, and you can read them below.
When choosing an exercise routine, choose something that you enjoy doing. If you enjoy doing the routine, chances are you will stick to it. If you dread your routine, you will continually make excuses as to why you can't or don't want to get in your workout for the day.
To improve your fitness, try working out a little each day. This is more beneficial than just doing an exercise 'binge' once a week. Incorporating exercise into your daily routine will make it easier to keep to your exercise momentum going, and means you won't dread and try to avoid an overly long workout session.
A great way to get fit, is to perform your cardio first thing in the morning, before breakfast. Performing cardio this way, taps right into your fat stores because you haven't had anything to eat. This is one of the most effective ways to lose fat through cardio.
Diamond push ups are another push up modification that can be done to achieve greater fitness results than standard ones. To do them, simply place your hands on the floor and create a diamond shape. Then do push ups as you normally would. The closer your hands are to each other when in the diamond configuration, the harder it is to do.
Great looking abs will get you attention wherever you go. To get great abs, perform this simple http://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-1030-Supplement-Acidophilus-Bifidobacterium/dp/B01BZC1QWM/keywords=acidophilus exercise for five minutes, every morning. Lie flat on your back on the floor or on a yoga mat. Slowly bicycle your legs up and down in the air, as if you were pedaling a bike up a hill. As you push your legs away, make sure to fully extend your legs so that your knees are straight.
While working out, always decrease the weight by approximately ten percent, when you adjust your grip. For example, if you just finished a set of bench presses doing 200 pounds with a medium grip, you should drop to 180 pounds when switching to a narrow or wide grip. When you switch grips, you are stressing the joints in a different way than you have become accustomed to, which can cause you to get injured.
A great fitness tip is to count repetitions backwards. This will assist you in doing more reps because when you approach the end of a set, you will not be thinking about how many reps you have done. Instead, you will be thinking about how many you have left, which can help you squeeze out those last few reps.
Use your workout equipment in an order to see maximum results. The order should be dumbbells first, regular barbells second and machines last. Doing exercises in this order will ensure that you don't get fatigued too early in your workout, by engaging in the more labor-intensive equipment first. This also works your muscles out, from smaller to larger.
A great workout tip is to always purchase workout clothes in black, white or gray. This is because these colors go with everything else in your closet. Therefore, you do not have to waste time searching for clothing that matches. Instead, you can spend more time http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/your-hunger-hormones working out, which is the whole purpose of workout clothes.
Hurting your arm does not mean you cannot work it out. If you focus on your opposite arm you can still build strength in the injured arm. This happens because when you work out one arm, the muscle nerve fibers in the other arm are stimulated as well. By training the healthy arm for a couple of weeks while healing, you can see upwards to 10 percent strength gain in the injured arm.
To get better leg development, try performing barbell lunges in reverse. Performing lunges in reverse will stress your front leg much more than regular lunges. During a reverse lunge your front leg is forced to work throughout the entire duration of the exercise. Reverse lunges are performed the same way as traditional lunges, except you step backward instead of forward.
A quick trick to make sure your head is in the properly aligned position when doing sit-ups is to place your tongue against the roof of your mouth during the exercise. If your head is not aligned you could easily strain your neck muscles. This little technique will help you curb the possibility.
A great fitness tip is to use safety pins when you're bench pressing or performing squats. You can set up safety pins at a spot where you don't want to lift any further. The safety pins will hold the weight if you don't have the strength to finish the lift.
Whenever you have the chance, go outside to exercise. Try running on the beach, hiking or even climbing stairs. Not only will you get a great workout, but you will also be rejuvenated. This can help improve your thinking and lower your stress.
After you workout it's important to do cool down exercises. Exercising causes your blood vessels to enlarge which makes your heart work harder to maintain your stamina during a workout. Cool down exercises help your body to gradually return to it's normal functioning state and prevent unnecessary cardiovascular strain.
If you are injured it does not mean that you cannot follow a fitness routine. Many people make the mistake of thinking that just because they are injured they cannot work out. There are modifications that can be made to any exercise to accommodate any injury. You have to be willing to find the modification.
Before starting any exercise or fitness programs, it is a good idea to see your physician for a full physical. Your doctor can make sure that you are in good enough health to start a high intensity training program without being in any danger of hurting yourself. Your doctor will also take weight and blood pressure measurements so that, later on, you will be able to look back and see the improvements you have made.
When your daily schedule hands you an unexpected bit of down time, fill it in a healthy, fitness-promoting fashion: take a walk. When you must wait for something, go out and get moving instead of sitting down, reading or snacking. A walk is a gentle way to improve your overall fitness and make your day a healthier one.
Getting fit is not easy and it is not quick. It is certainly worth doing, though, as it leads to a longer, happier life. The preceding items were just a few of the many elements you can incorporate into an effective, enjoyable fitness routine. Building a routine that works and that you can stick is really all you need to do.

Is Dylan O'Brien leaving Teen Wolf on MTV? Season 6 spoilers for 'Teen Wolf' are rolling in and it's not looking good. Several sites are reporting that Dylan O'Brien will not be returning to the supernatural MTV drama, and we will not get our much needed dose of Stiles Stilinski.
Teen Wolf without Dylan O'Brien is like going to a beach without sand, or a roadtrip without a car, or skiing without snow. You see where we are going with this, it just doesn't work!
Although MTV nor Dylan O'Brien haven't actually confirmed whether or not Stiles Stilinski will be in Season 6 of Teen Wolf, it actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Not only has Dylan's Hollywood film career really taken off over the past year, but he also just signed on for another movie, 'American Assassin' (he is slated to play the part of Mitch Rapp).
On top of Dylan O'Brien's budding movie career – he is also is still recuperating from the serious injuries that he received on the set of the Mazerunner. Even if Dylan didn't have a full schedule already – we're pretty sure that the doctors wouldn't be clearing him this soon to start filming Season 6 of Teen Wolf.
Some sites are even speculating on rumors that Teen Wolf may try to recast the character of Stiles Stilinski – but we have a sneaking suspicion that fans would not be okay with that. In all honestly, we would rather see Stiles Stilinski missing from Beacon Hill all together rather than see someone else trying to pull off Dylan O'Brien's originality and one-of-a-kind charisma.
What do you think Teen Wolf fans? Will you tune in to Season 6 if Dylan O'Brien isn't a part of it? Do you think MTV would ever recast Stiles Stilinski? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

The Israeli newspaper Ha'Aretz ran an unsigned editorial to mark a hundred years since the founding of the original kibbutz. I'm not sure if it's damning or not, but it does feel like faint praise. Still, the editorial does acknowledge the important role the kibbutz movement played in establishing the State of Israel. "One hundred years after its birth, this may not be the kibbutz's finest hour," the editorialists conclude, "but without the kibbutz, Israel would look very different today." The handful of comments posted about the story suggest the range of emotions that this experiment in socialism can still provoke today.
The newspaper also ran a report on Shimon Peres's visit to Kibbutz Degania, including a long quote about his nostalgia for kibbutz life:
"When I ask myself 'Why do I miss it?' I remember why I should me miss it," Peres said to the assembled group of kibbutz veterans. "I miss savoring the experience of a day's work that I learned in Kibbutz Geva. I miss Alumot, from whence we beheld the astonishing beauty of Emek Hayarden. I miss the simplicity of the long walks, the wrinkled khaki clothing. I miss the flowerbeds of Kibbutz Ashdot, the bushels of bananas on Kibbutz Degania, the plywood of Kibbutz Afikim. I miss the dates of Kibbutz Kinneret. I miss the green fields of crops and orchards."
"I miss the dairy barn, the animal pens, and the chicken coops - from which various smells emanated," Peres continued. "I miss the wonderful hikes just before dawn and the grazing excursions to Wadi Fijas, where I fixed my eyes to the stars that were born with the new dawn. To this day a vibration courses through my body whenever I hear the name 'Degania' - whether it's Alef or Bet. The order does not matter."
"I ask myself why I miss it, just so I can figure out to whom I belong," the president said.

text: Assessing the risk of reprisal This guide has been prepared for officers who undertake risk management processes associated with public interest disclosures (PIDs). Relevant law and standards One of the main purposes of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2010 is to provide people who make PIDs with protection from reprisal. The Queensland Ombudsman's Public Interest Disclosure Standard No. 1 (the PID standard) requires a public sector entity chief executive officer to conduct an assessment of the risk of reprisal to the discloser, and others associated with the matter, when a disclosure is received. The standard also requires protective measures to be proportionate to the risk of reprisal. If the risk is sufficiently high, an entity must prepare a protection plan. The PID Act also: requires public officers be given support and offered protection from reprisals (s.28) prevents referral of disclosure to another public entity if there is an 'unacceptable risk of reprisal' (s.31). The PID standard recommends the use of the Australian Standard for Risk Management - Principles and Guidelines (ISO 31000:2009) but leaves it open to an organisation to use any reasonable risk assessment strategy. ISO 31000 states: 'a risk is the effect of uncertainty on objectives'. In the case of a PID, the objective is to manage the risk of reprisal against the discloser and others associated with the disclosure. The risk management process includes: establishing the context assessing risk (identification, analysis and evaluation) treating the risk monitoring and reviewing actions. Communication and consultation feeds into each step of the process. Identify, assess and evaluate the risk of reprisal To identify and assess the risk of reprisal, you will need to consider the specific circumstances that apply to the PID. We have developed a table that provides general guidance (PDF 118.2KB) on issues that could be considered in determining the risk of reprisal. Every organisation is different and risk management should be considered within the local context. Research and experience indicate some risk factors. Content in this guide has been derived from Whistling While They Work: A good-practice guide for managing internal reporting of wrongdoing in public sector organisations and the NSW Ombudsman's guideline for 'Managing risk of reprisals and conflict'. Risk management resources Australian Standard for Risk Management (AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009) A Guide to Risk Management (2011), Queensland Government Risk Management Toolkit for NSW Public Sector Agencies (2012), NSW Treasury Your organisation's risk management policy and procedures will also be useful resources when considering how to assess and manage PID reprisal risk. Your organisation's risk management unit or officer may be able to provide you with further information and support. Risk assessment process Identify the risks Given what is known about the disclosure, the discloser and the subject officer, consider the potential risks. A reprisal causes detriment to another person. The PID Act defines detriment to include: personal injury or prejudice to safety property damage or loss intimidation or harassment adverse discrimination, disadvantage or adverse treatment about career, profession, employment, trade or business financial loss damage to reputation, including, for example, personal, professional or business reputation. Analyse the risks Given the identified risks, what are the consequences and likelihood of reprisal? What factors may make reprisal more likely or less likely? For example, a junior officer makes a corrupt conduct allegation about their immediate supervisor, who is a senior officer in the organisation, and it seems likely confidentiality will not be maintained in the investigative process. The research indicates this kind of situation presents a higher risk. Consider the consequences of reprisal. What impact could it have on the discloser, the work unit and the organisation? How serious would these outcomes be? For example, would it be a relatively minor impact that could be relatively easily rectified or corrected? Or is it more likely to have significant resource and reputational impacts? What controls do you already have in place to manage this risk? Evaluate the risks Weigh up the risks and make a determination about what action is needed. Risk treatment and monitoring After assessment, the next step is to move on to treating the risks to provide appropriate protection that is proportionate to the risk of reprisal. A risk treatment plan can be used to record the risk, the action to be taken (including timing and frequency, if relevant), who is responsible for action and the arrangements for reporting and monitoring. The implementation of risk treatment needs to be monitored to ensure the planned action has been implemented and is having the expected effect. Risk treatments should be reviewed at critical stages in the investigation. Other issues to watch Have you appropriately documented the risk assessment process? Have you considered risks to others, such as someone who helps with the investigation or could be mistakenly assumed to be the discloser? Can you demonstrate your reasoning that the action taken was proportionate to the risk? Can you use the findings of risk assessments to inform and improve your organisation's PID management practice? Our PID Assessment Guide (PDF 52.1KB) can assist you to determine whether a matter is a PID.
