text: Well, today was pretty uneventful I must say... did more fencing today... got lots of small cuts on my hands from the barbed wire which can be a pain to work with--literally! Just finished eating tea and will probably go to bed soon. Missing home a lot and feeling a bit lonely out here... the girl I am working with is finished on Thursday so then it will just be me... However, there is a french student coming sometime in June and more workers end of June/ beginning of July. These workers are contracted to come here to do the cattle work which is what I love most about this job! So I am looking forward to that... but for the moment missing home a lot. It seems the older I get the more I miss home... I hate admitting to that! hahaha However, it is a learning and growing experience so I will make the most of it. Thanks for your comments. Love you all xox

I said I'd never do it...
So. I was NOT going to go private. It's not my style... I am kind of an out there person. But I have been getting WEIRD comments left, and I guess I figured I'd join in with the rest of the world and go (pause for dramatic effect) PRIVATE.

Book Spills On The Most 'Ridiculous' & 'Terrible' Demands From Nightmare Bosses Posted on Oct 2, 2013 @ 3:54AM | By Melissa Cronin radaronline.com Last week, the world met real-life Ari Gold, CAA agent Nancy Etz, an over-the-top entitled Hollywood exec who called her assistant a "b***h" in a scathing, condescending email that quickly went viral. For assistant-turned- author Lydia Whitlock, however, the email was all too familiar: After five years toiling away as an assistant, Whitlock quit the biz to expose the seamy side of the Hollywood system in a no-holds-barred book, To My Assistant: Things I'll Never Do to You, But Many Other Crazy Bosses Will. Now, she shares some of her craziest tales with RadarOnline.com — stories that make Nancy Etz seem like the boss of the year. "I was not at all surprised that the [Etz] email exists," Whitlock tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. "I was surprised that someone had the guts to leak it because that's an unsaid rule in the industry." Indeed, Whitlock used the cover of anonymity when she started blogging about her experiences as a Hollywood assistant in 2011, three years after graduating from Yale and heading to Los Angeles. "I started the blog because I noticed that a lot of times when assistants have something terrible done to them or are asked to do something ridiculous for their bosses, they'll say 'When I have an assistant, I won't be like that,'" she explains. "I thought it was a very hopeful and good-natured way to look at how a lot of bosses treat their assistants." If she didn't laugh, it seems, she'd have to cry. Whitlock remembers one particular instance when she faced an epic meltdown over butter. "I had a boss who screamed at me once because the butter that came with his lunch was too warm," Whitlock remembers. "It was like, full-on tantrum level. From then on, every day I had to squeeze the packets of butter to make sure they were the right temperature." Worse still was the story she heard from another assistant that Whitlock says "is just extraordinary, probably reaching the level of urban legend at this point." "I knew an assistant who once had to pick up a stool sample from a boss' dog to take it to the vet," she reveals. "It was pretty terrible. The only way it could have been worse is if it was from the boss themselves!" Whitlock's blog, ToMyAssistant.com, and her Twitter feed are full of similarly cringe-worthy stories, which she says she gets via submission and her own "flashbacks." She then writes them up as notes to her hypothetical future assistant. (Whitlock says she's "neither busy enough nor rich enough" to have one now.) "After my trainer, who I pay more per month than you make in six weeks, gives me a pedometer and assigns me a certain number of steps to take each day," she writes to her future assistant in one post inspired by a real assistant's story, "I will not regularly make you clip it onto your waist and take laps around the outside of our building during lunch while I sit at my desk and eat a double serving of Lean Cuisines." In another, she promises, "When the chef at my favorite restaurant takes my favorite salad off the menu, I will not throw a 20-minute temper tantrum, directed at you, before wondering aloud if it's your "lack of phone manners" that prompted this terrible tragedy." Yet another ripped-from-real-life entry reads, "I will not get mad at you when I get back from lunch at a particular restaurant you recommended to me, because the person I believe to be my business nemesis was also there, "and you should have known better." Whitlock collected these and dozens of other entries for her book, To My Assistant: Things I'll Never Do to You, But Many Other Crazy Bosses Will, which was published this spring. "I did it to expand the content beyond just what can be posted on Tumblr," Whitlock says, adding that it includes "transcripts of email conversations and I'm conversations based on past experiences." And even though she's since been pretty much blacklisted from the Hollywood assistant pool, she harbors no resentment and says the book is meant to entertain assistants, not embarrass their bosses. Whitlock says, "Hopefully assistants can pick it up and laugh at it and not feel so alone." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the Numbers: Niklas Kronwall
Maintenance of the knee limits Kronwall both in practices and gamesby Dana Wakiji @Dwakiji / DetroitRedWings.com
By the Numbers will highlight the Red Wings on-ice accomplishments in the 2016-17 season. Each week during the off-season, By The Numbers will profile a different player on the team, focusing on their statistical highs. This week we focus on forward defenseman Niklas Kronwall.
While captain Henrik Zetterberg experienced a renaissance of sorts this past season with a career year, defenseman Niklas Kronwall is showing the effects of knee injuries throughout his career.
Kronwall underwent arthroscopic surgery last season and maintenance of the knee limits him both in practices and games.
Kronwall has two seasons remaining on his contract at a cap hit of $4.75 million.
300 - On March 18 against the Colorado Avalanche, Kronwall recorded his 300th career assist. It came on the game's first goal, a power-play tally by Justin Abdelkader at 16:43 of the second period. Zetterberg had the first assist.
795 - Kronwall finished the season with 795 career games played, setting himself up to play his 800th early in the 2017-18 season. If he plays in every game to start the season, Kronwall would play in his 800th game on Oct. 13 in Las Vegas, the Wings' first game against the Golden Knights.
24 - The veteran defenseman has to do a lot of work to keep his knees in playing condition. Kronwall missed the first 11 games of the season because of it and missed 24 games overall.
13 - Kronwall had just 13 points (2-11-13) in 57 games this season, by far the lowest total of his career. His previous low was nine (1-8-9) in only 27 games during the 2005-06 season. In the 2015-16 season, Kronwall had three goals among 26 points in 64 games.
37 - It doesn't seem like that long ago that the Wings drafted Kronwall with their first-round pick, 29th overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. But Kronwall will turn 37 on Jan. 12, 2018. He is the second oldest player on the roster as Zetterberg turns 37 on Oct. 9. Johan Franzen, on long-term injured reserve due to post-concussion symptoms, turns 38 on Dec. 23.
55 - Kronwall is one of 102 players who have worn No. 55 in their careers. Only three other Wings have worn that number. Tiger Williams wore it in 1985, Keith Primeau wore it for Detroit from 1991-96 and Larry Murphy wore it for the Wings from 1997-2001.

Exercise for good health should be your moto if you want to lose weight and be in a proper shape. There are many ways to do cardiovascular exercises at your home and you have to choose the method that suits you best.
Nowadays it has become difficult for people to go to the gym as we all are very busy with our other work and individual lives. If you are looking for another resource to use for health and fitness advice, you should check out All Day Fitness.
For those of you looking for fast weight loss solutions at home, a few of the methods are discussed here so that you can easily find the best method for yourself!
We have seen our predecessors walking a lot every day. They used to do it for completing their daily works and it helped them to be in good health. In the present days we don't need to or want to walk much as everything has come closer to us.
We have lost our habits to walk for different modern transportation systems.
Walking is a very good cardio exercise that keeps your heart healthy. We should make a schedule and walk for a certain amount of time regularly so that it helps our body stay healthy.
Running Stairs
In the city areas we hardly get any place for jogging; the area is filled with skyscrapers and different large buildings and malls. In this case your stairs in your house can help you a lot.
Running stairs can be a replacement for your jogging in the ground and it will give you more benefit. You just have to be sure that you don't try to clime too fast so that there is a chance of falling down.
In the beginning do it slowly and with time you can increase your speed. It creates a pressure on your heart and makes the blood circulation more freely.
Jumping Rope
Some take jumping rope as a game which is a very good exercise. To do this workout, you don't need much space; you can easily do it in your bedroom if there is enough space.
This exercise helps your heart take fast and long breath and while releasing it exerts all the carbon-di-oxide from your body. Blood circulation becomes more fluent and comfortable. You can do this in exchange of climbing stairs which might be annoying for you.
You can actually call your friends or family members and play it as a game.
Rowing Machine
It has become very easy to find the best rowing machine for home because of the internet and the e-commerce sites. The rowing machine is very good for your cardio exercise. In this machine you need to sit on its seat and pull a string which is very tight.
Using the ERG rowing machine several times per week helps your heart work properly. This is a small device which can be fit at any place of your home and you can actually carry it to your required places.
The rowing machine is not as intense as a prowler sled or a Jacob's ladder, but it is very effective in its own way!
This is considered to be the best exercise of all. In this exercise all your body parts get to work properly. You can lose a lot of calories and your heart will remain in a very good condition.
All your body pain will reduce if you do it on a regular basis.
You can make a small swimming pool so that you don't need to go anywhere else.
This is another good workout for your heart. It is not necessary to go out for a bicycle ride nowadays, you can buy a stationary bicycle and place it inside your home.
Every morning, wake up and start riding your cycle before going to your work. After doing this exercise take a nice bath which will make you fresh and energetic for the whole day.
For a good health, exercise doesn't have any exception. You have to do it regularly so that you get the benefit soon.
Make your home your workout place and save time and money.

How Do I Rotate a Video File in Nero?by Will Conley
Nero is a suite of software centered around disc authoring. Nero Vision, a video editing application, is part of that suite. One of the useful editing functions available in the latest version of Nero Vision is the ability to rotate a video or section of video. Many have found the rotation function difficult to locate. The trick is to apply a transformation effect and then modify the effect to produce a rotation effect of 90, 180, or 270 degrees. This guide shows you how to do that.
Launch Nero 9 Vision, the video editing application from the Nero suite of software.
Load the desired video file in Nero Vision by going to "File" -> "Open" and browsing for the video file. Select the file and click "Open."
Select the section of the video you wish to rotate on the timeline. Select the entire timeline if you wish to rotate the entire video.
Select "Video Effects" -> "Others" -> "Transform."
Double-click on the "Transform" effect in the timeline and select "Rotation." The video will be rotated.
Repeat Step 5 as needed until the rotation is to your liking.

Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility is a subject that is very important to Lakehead Unitarian.

Frances Deverell with support from CUSJ Working group. You can download a copy of the paper from http://cusj.org/issues/cusj-issues-discussion-paper-on-israel-and-palestine/. The table of contents include o.a. the Current situation , Theological grounds for action and Human Rights effecting the People and the Land.
Unitarians are encouraged to support the boycott campaign "Unsettling Goods" targeting products made in the Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied zones in Palestine by KETER ( plastics – garden tools and toolboxes ), AHAVA, cosmetics and skin care products and SODASTREAM-(carbonated juice makers ).
The action is also supported by the United Church of Canada . Letters have been written to retailers of these products in Thunder Bay. The campaign is hoping to create understanding of a desperate situation involving the flagrant disregard of Human Rights and UN Declarations. A study of the complete report is highly recommended and will increase understanding of the complex issues which make a Peace process under the present circumstances near impossible.

How To Keep Good Employees
In Your Small Business
by Tom Egelhoff
This has to be one of the oldest quandaries in the history of business. But, I think it's the wrong question to ask.
The question I would ask is, "How can I create a work environment that employees will never want to leave?"
The reason employees are hard to keep is because they have their own personal goals and I'm sorry to say that those goals are not to make you, the business owner, rich.
And, I'm also sorry to say, that as long as you put your business goals ahead of your employees personal goals you're going to have turnover and lots of it.
How can a business create a work environment that helps the business owner and the employee both reach their goals?
Employees work 40 hours or less per week. There are 168 hours in each week and that means 128 hours each week your employees are somewhere else.
What are they telling others about where they work during that time?
Would an unhappy employee talk to their spouse or partner? What would the spouse or partner tell others?
Each time the story of your business is related to someone else there is a very good chance it will be embellished until it reaches a point where a large part of it is no longer true.
Are you beginning to see how easily negative word-of-mouth cannot only spread but do major public relations damage as well?
Top : Home
In order for a business to be successful there must be a total team effort between employees and management. Each employee depends on other employees to perform his or her specific function.
Management then has a choice.
It can establish or even demand certain levels of performance as a condition of employment, or it can create a work environment where employees not only take pride in the work they do but take personal ownership of their specific responsibilities within the company.
Top : Home
"But" Is The Great Eraser
Let's face it. Employee evaluations are primarily to correct what the employee is doing wrong and rarely to praise what they are doing right and that is their major downfall and the main reason most managers' dislike doing them.
My good friend and fellow speaker Patrick H. McGaughey introduced me to this concept.
A typical conversation would go something like, "You do A, B, and C great BUT, D needs a lot of work." Do you think the employee hears what happens before the "but" or after it?
"But" erased the good part of the employee performance because it was just glossed over as a transition to the corrective part of the evaluation.
Years ago I worked with a very smart man who told me that you always give "two warm fuzzies" for "every cold prickly." In other words praise should be given twice as often as criticism.
He knew that his employees were doing more right than wrong and they were also doing good things within the company that he would never know or hear about.
So he made a point of making sure they heard from him whenever he heard or saw them doing something positive.
I worked with another company that had a practice of sending handwritten thank you cards to the employees home in the mail.
This was a definite hit with the spouses who now had a definite indication of the appreciation the company had for the employee and actually improved the employees home life in some cases.
Most employees welcome training that will make them better at their job.
Companies spend millions each year to train people in everything from customer service to equipment operation. Accessing and placing blame is not training.
When something goes wrong stress happens. Management wants someone to be accountable for the problem.
Finger pointing, accusations and placing blame are often used as the most common methods to deal with the problem.
The correct action should be to determine what the cause of the problem was and to design a training procedure to prevent its reoccurrence in the future by all employees.
I don't mean to imply that you never discipline an employee but there is a time and place and a right way to do it.
If problems persist and it is determined that an employee is simply un-trainable that should be the point where disciplinary action and documentation should begin.
Tomorrow, before you leave for work, take a look in the mirror. Ask yourself, "Would you want to work for you?" If you have a hard time with the answer you have some work to do.

This guy had a child in November of 2007. Said he would take care of his baby girl for the rest of her life made sure she had everything. Where in the world does taking care of your baby girl entail no physical contact for two years and no verbal communication for one year? No child support since being kicked out of the USMC for drugs, no insurance for his child, and by golly NO ONE knows where this douschebag is!!!! The only info is he is from Ohio and currently lives SOMEWHERE in North Carolina. Keep a look out for this fool. Way past due on child support. What a waste of life.

IFA's Holistic Health Seminar and Free Health Screenings for Metro DC/Alexandria, VA Residents
June 12th, Alexandria, VA: IFA hosted a free health seminar focused on practical solutions for many common health concerns. As a service to the local community, participants received free blood glucose testing and blood pressure screenings along with a "starter kit" for proper nutrition and healthy living. During the seminar, Anteneh Roba M.D. discussed preventative measures emphasizing proper nutrition as a means of attaining optimal health and reducing the risk of chronic disease.
Houston Chronicle Profiles IFA's Efforts to Save Lives All Over the World: "Saving Lives In Hospital, Abroad And In The Air".
Dr. Anteneh Roba, an emergency room doctor at Houston's Northwest Medical Center in Texas, had a life-changing experience in 2003 when he visited his native Ethiopia. Not having been there since prior to becoming a physician, Dr. Roba witnessed first hand the suffering and deaths of babies and newborns from diseases that were preventable and treatable. Upon his return to the U.S. where he had become a citizen in 1996, he knew he had to do something to alleviate this needless suffering in Africa.

The 2nd Annual So-Cal Vegan Earth Day Celebration
"PlanetFest", the 2nd Annual Southern California Vegan Earth Day celebration, was Emceed by Bob Linden and sponsored by Go Vegan Radio (www.goveganradio.com) along with The International Fund for Africa (www.ifundafrica.org). The event included a consortium of live musical performances, pro Athletes, Physicians, Health Professionals, Environmentalists, Activists, Chefs, Animal Rescue Groups, Animal Law experts, a diverse mix of local vegan restaurants and eco-oriented product vendors. The event was endorsed by Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and attracted a wide range of concerned citizens, sports fans, health enthusiasts and families seeking family-oriented education and entertainment. PlanetFest relies exclusively on grassroots support to advance eco-conscious, compassionate lifestyles and business practices.
"PlanetFest's" focus is on positive action that addresses the issues of climate change, deforestation, drought, soil erosion, resource depletion, desertification, habitat loss, world hunger, disease, poverty, violence, war, and animal suffering. PlanetFest differentiates itself from other "Earth Day" events by emphasizing delicious and nutritious vegan foods whose cultivation has a positive impact on the environment and human health. Other "Earth Day" festivals are aligned and financially dependent on trans-national corporations that have substantial financial interests in making products that harm the environment and cause serious health concerns in humans. The SoCal "PlanetFest" event promoted viable and effective solutions to the causes and consequences of the human health crisis and climate change as it demonstrated the harmful effects of the current unsustainable food production systems and their devastating effects on the earth's population.
IFA would like to thank the non-profit organizations Go Vegan Radio for their caring support and sponsorships.
IFA and Elizabeth Kucinich Ask Congressional Representatives to Support The Great Ape Protection Act/ HR 1326
On June 10, 2010, IFA Co-Founder, Anteneh Roba, M.D.. and Elizabeth Kucinich (Director of Public Affairs for PCRM and wife of Congressman Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio) lobbied Congress regarding the Great Ape Protection Act (H.R. 1326). The proposed legislation would prohibit the breeding, transport and invasive research of great apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons). H.R. 1326 also seeks to stop government funded primate research and would require the release of all federally-owned great apes into sanctuaries

Anyone here ever watched the movie "Made in Heaven"? Yeah. Uh huh. Got it. Right then. Looks like a lot have. Now that I've gotten that song "We Never Danced" stuck in your heads again, I'd like to direct your attention to a rather obscure little manga by Antarctic Press known as "Heaven Sent."
Given the cover art and general one line description, "What do you do if your guardian angel falls in love with you?" you'd think it'd wind up being something on the order of "Made in Heaven". This is what I thought by reading the description in the back, which also talked of a war in heaven, which I figured had the potential to go into the philosophical war of 'heaven' and 'hell' within us all given the love story vibe coming off this book.
Before we begin the main review, it's important to note a few things, such as the similarities "Made in Heaven" had with the surreal and very touching aspects of the love story in "Oh! My Goddess!" dealing very much with the divine, how it relates to the imperfect and often conflicting, if not outright contradictory, nature of humanity...and how the two can truly love each other. It is well known at this juncture how "Oh! My Goddess!" has gotten a bit sidetracked from this plot point for the past...twenty years or more (JESUS CHRIST! MORE THAN TWENTY FUCKING YEARS!) opting instead to concentrate more on the things happening all around the couple which has practically stalled their relationship ad infinitum. Which is fine, because always there was this undercurrent in all the writing that related back to this very surreal love story...it was the reason everything else was happening. It helps that "Oh! My Goddess!" is extremely well drawn and an extremely well told and coherent story...even with this constant meandering, it's easy to keep up with everything that's going on and see how everything is relating to everything else. I'm guessing this would be how the story of the movie "Made in Heaven" would have been told if the movie had practically an unlimited amount of time to be told. Instead, the love story of and between heaven and mortality became the only story told, everything happening serving to further this one simple thing, rather than it becoming the subtle undercurrent driving everything like in "Oh! My Goddess!"
The basic gist of what I'm getting at is that what looked liked what was being sold in "Heaven Sent" was the fusion of the two stories of "Oh! My Goddess!" and "Made in Heaven". Basically an author having grown tired of the entire "Well get there when we get there," mentality of "Oh! My Goddess!" (not that there's anything wrong with this in and of itself) but wanting to meander around a little more than "Made in Heaven" and so taking this opportunity to craft a story just like that. It's actually a good idea; one I'd like to explore myself sometime...and it looks like any attempt I make at it will be more valid now than it was before.
The reason for that is simple. "Heaven Sent" is one of the most chaotically written, badly thought out, pieces of shit fuck that has ever been put to ink and paper. It's as badly penned as "Rosario + Vampire" or "Tenjo Tenge", though not with nearly the quality of artwork. This is not to say the artwork is bad, it's not. It is, however; done in far more simplistic retro style that one sees in the likes of late 80's or early 90's works like the early volumes of "Oh! My Goddess!" and "Urusei Yatsura." This style has generally been abandoned for a more detailed presentation due to the higher tech tools and techniques now available to a manga-ka. Sadly, the artwork is really all this story has going for it; everything else is as stated before.
One of the largest problems the author had was that he really didn't know what sort of story he wanted to tell: a metaphysical love story or a DC Superhero comic. More importantly he obviously lacks the skill to properly fuse said concepts into a non jarring, well paced, coherent whole. I assume he does better in more pure books, such as Ninja High School (given its incredibly long run) and where he probably drew quite a bit of his inspiration from, Warrior Nun Areala (also a pretty long running book). Trying to put a metaphysical love story into the middle of human catholic oriented warrior priests versus the armies of Hell is something that caused the writing to just fall flat.
The lion's share of problems had to do with the shear amount of logical inconsistencies dealing with the application of such a story to Judaeo–Christian religious mythology. Most of what went on had no point at all. Other actions, such as Sarah's vendetta against a Roman Emperor already doomed to eternal suffering in Hell, make absolutely no sense...you'd think there would be rules against that sort of thing, being that GOD already passed judgment, if they just couldn't convince her he's, you know, IN HELL! The entire Anti-God story-line was the result of someone who had absolutely no idea what in the living shit he was writing or any application of logical thought at all. Rather than being an actual 'Anti-God' this creature was simply channeling the powers of the Adversary using a ritual and devices based super mathematical equations, which were all bullshit since Lucifer pops up left and right going, "'sup, hommies?" To further add to the pointlessness, this is the very same Diablo who was already chucked out of Heaven by an irate God like one would stomp on an insect, and who, in the course of the story, was already noted he was going to loose the final battle. Yeah, let that one sink in for a moment. Personally, I don't deal with individuals playing a rigged game, but the above sounds like utter lunacy.
On the subject of Satan in this story, the guys from DC Comics really need to rip these jerks a new one. Their Akuma here was ripped straight out of his portrayal in DC Comics; his character design practically copied and pasted right down to his hair style. While honestly a rather kick ass presentation of the guy, this story turned him into...well, to be honest, he was kinda just there. Then there was the near end, when Sarah begs him for forgiveness due to the temerity of Kyle Taylor actually challenging him. Shit, after what I just read, I'd be looking at The Lord of the Flies in pity for being such a goddamn loser in this situation. Given Sarah's utter contempt for Beelzebub's rules, power, and authority, her asking for clemency makes about as much sense as me kicking Darkseid in the nuts and expecting to live.
These are some of the more glaring problems, and certainly not all of them, but if the author couldn't even get this worked out in some coherent fashion, you can imagine how the entire 'love story' between Sarah and Kyle was handled. Hell, I'm not even sure there WAS a love story of any sort past some minor infatuation about a pretty girl...with wings. This right here represents a travesty in and of itself, since nomming on cute wing-girls, elf girl cuddling, and animorph girl tail petting is practically mandatory and should be the primary focus of all such stories.
Sorry, still kinda warm and fuzzy after watching Clannad ep 9.
To explain this total cop-out of a story, the author actually places in his second volume a disclaimer. It states something to the effect that he was not trying to write a religious piece, but a decent story with certain elements based on Judaeo–Christian religious mythology. This is fine...if that's what was actually done. The point of this whole review was to show that what this author thinks he succeeded at, was in fact, an epic fail of biblical proportions; pardon the pun.
The biggest piss-me-off is the shear amount of potential this whole premise had. Like 'Rosario + Vampire', there were enough good ideas floating around to keep one writing and an audience entertained for awhile, as that seemed to be the end goal. Instead, it's as if author has been penning stuff for so long, that he doesn't feel the need to submit it to an editor who would take malicious glee in pointing out logical inconsistencies, lack of story focus, and plot fallacies in order to put out the best story he could...or even took the time to reality check himself. It's either lazy or incompetent, and I can't tell which or how much of either went into this.
To give some small measure of praise to this story; at the very end there's a rather touching little fable, completely unrelated to the main story, about a boy who finds an injured bird, and takes care of it...find out that it's really more than meets the eye. The beauty of this bed time story leads credence to the idea that the author can, in fact, write a good story, if his focus is kept on a singular story type. This was simple, direct, and quite lovely...nearly a work of art even. Which leads one to really wonder what the author was thinking when he wrote that other drivel.
In short, this one is a waste of ink. Don't even bother with it, even for the retro pretty pictures or the final extra chapter. Since it doesn't seem like the author is capable of sending his shit to an editor worth their salt, it falls to the rest of us to remind him of when he fucks up by hitting him in the pocket book...and not buying his stories when he writes shit.

Center for Research on Men's Health, Vanderbilt University (USA)
The Vanderbilt University Center for Research on Men's Health is a university-wide center in the U.S. that focuses on men's health and men's health disparities. Founded in the Spring of 2016, the Center seeks to improve men's health by understanding and addressing biological, psychological and social factors that influence men's health. Men's health outcomes are more than the sum of biology and behavior. They are also the result of factors that influence behavior: gender, cultural, sociological and attitudinal. In a pioneering way, the Center for Research on Men's Health examines all of these factors to form a more holistic picture that benefits men, families, healthcare practitioners, service providers, academicians and policymakers. We have particular expertise in the health of African American men, but we also do research on other men in the U.S. and across the globe.
More information about the Center for Research on Men's Health can be found here.
Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities (USA)
The Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities (CSMM), established at Stony Brook University (SUNY) in 2013, is dedicated to engaged interdisciplinary research on boys, men, masculinities, and gender. Its mission is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and activists in conversation and collaboration to develop and enhance projects focusing on boys and men. This collaboration will generate and disseminate research that redefines gender relations to foster greater social justice.
The Center is committed to fostering a world in which everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexuality, reach their full potential as human beings. It supports and promotes research that furthers the development of boys and men in the service of healthy masculinities and greater gender equality. CSMM seeks to build bridges among a new generation of researchers, practitioners, and activists who work toward these ends. This unique collaboration will enhance the quality and impact of research, and enable a more informed policy and practice.

The Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men's Health (Australia)
The Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men's Health at the University of Adelaide (est.2007) is a centre of excellence in men's health research. The Centre brings together, trains and supports a network of researchers spanning the three South Australian universities, the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, other research institutes and health services. This network extends to collaborators nationally and internationally. The Centre aims to advance understanding of conditions that contribute the most to ill-health, loss of independence and workforce participation and premature death. By translation of its research into public knowledge and health policy and practice, the Centre aims to reduce the long-standing differences between the sexes and between different sub-populations of men, in health and health outcomes.
The Centre's research programmes transect three themes: preventative health and health services, clinical and population health with a focus on chronic disease, and basic science with a focus on reproductive health and prostate cancer. The Centre promotes a transdisciplinary and social determinants approach to its research, recognising the heterogeneity of biological, socio-cultural, economic and political factors influencing health and social well-being.

Today has been a busy day, researching and planning for my next brief.
Lots of telephone calls made, just need to confirm the go ahead if the brief is acceptable.
I am quite excited as one of the farms has been used in many T.V. films and productions and they are very keen to be involved, so lets wait and see!

As I begin to write this article on the 17th anniversary of 9/11, there is a merging of several events that cause me to focus my thoughts on the essence and embodiment of freedom.
This past Sunday our church celebrated an annual gathering at City Beach for a celebration of baptisms and picnic food, fun and fellowship. While there, I took note again of the replica of the Statue of Liberty at the end of the pier. Remembering that it was only two days until 9/11, I thanked God again that the attacks on our nation that day did not accomplish what the terrorists had hoped, and that we still have the freedom to gather at a public setting like City Beach, and celebrate the essence and source of that freedom � Jesus Christ!
Another �freedom event� we will be a part of begins the evening you are reading this. On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 14-15, the Inland Northwest Freedom Fest will be celebrated out in the �Barn Again� across from the post office in Cocolalla. Featuring a Christian country concert tonight from 5-9 p.m. and a full day of excellent speakers and other fun events from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, this promises to be an inspiring and informative time for renewal of the freedoms we have enjoyed as a nation! (Go to inlandnwfreedomfest.com for more information )
The fourth �freedom� event that merges with the others brings another dimension of freedom to the forefront. Also today as you read this, the movie �Unbroken: Path to Redemption� is premiering around the country. This movie produced by Pureflix is a �spiritual sequel� to the original �Unbroken� produced by Universal Studios in 2014 �� the moving and inspiring true story of Olympic runner and Japanese POW camp survivor, Louis Zamperini. This Pureflix sequel picks up where the original movie left off, and tells �the rest of the story� �� the true freedom that Zamperini was only able to experience once he became able to forgive his war-time tormentor, �The Bird.� Finally surrendering his anger and life to Christ, he was able to experience the true freedom that only real forgiveness can bring.
Sunday morning in our worship service (10:45 a.m.), we will be sharing a special simulcast presentation on forgiveness based on this movie, and then go as a group to a matinee of the movie in Coeur d�Alene. You are welcome to join us!
The ultimate point of all this is to reaffirm and proclaim the one-and-only true source of every aspect of freedom that we enjoy and long to experience in deeper ways: Jesus Christ. Jesus himself declared, �I am the way, the truth, and the life. .. then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free... so if the son sets you free , you will be free indeed!� (John 14:6; 8:32, 36) The Apostle Paul then echoes and expounds of this truth in Galatians 5:1: �It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.�
We invite you to join us for any or all of the �freedom� events this weekend, and pray that whether or not you are able to join us, you will be renewed in the freedom that only He can give!
Pastor Jon L. Pomeroy can be reached at the Sandpoint Church of God.

|Whitey's Fish Camp
Orange Park, FL
|Steve and Barbara had mention they wanted to make a trip to Whitey's Fish
Camp. At the time I did not realize that we have been there many years
ago. This is a very neat place; the food was great other than Marcia had me
started on a diet. But what I could eat was great.
|Marcia is looking like she is doing great, wonder what those bees stung her with. Harold & Bonnie are on the other side
here. The temperature is at very hot man I am so ready for fall. I will try to retrace our trip and put a link for the map of
our trip. Looking at the map making this video has already given me some other roads to check out maybe this week.
|What I have noticed
video plays best using
the HD-720
so click on the arrow
and select the 720
|The first thing caught my eye here was the sign just below Whitey's Fish Camp which said all the Crab Legs you can eat on Monday!!!! That
sign was one of those computer regulated signs which would shift to different adds. Atmosphere here great, we ate inside it was 96 degrees at
the time. I realized after a while that we had been here many years ago on our bike..... two up. That was a while back.
|Now this is a pretty cool picture of the view in the back of Whitey's. Like I said we ate inside, but afterwards we did go out on the dock and took
in the view. With the tempture I was ready to jump in the water, it looked very inviting. We enjoyed the sights for about 15 minutes and then
headed back to the bikes.
|You notice no one is here in the picture. Now and then I will go back to the bike etc.... and take a few more pictures. This is one of those times.
here is Marcia's bike, My bike, Steve's bike, and Harold's Spider. Also some great free advertisement for Susan's Total Image.
|This is another place we have stop at in another trip. One of the books Marcia read by Eugenia Price to be exact book 3 of Florida Trilogy
Margaret's Story. The characters of the book are buried here.
|Here we are in front of St. Margarets Episcopal Church. You ever push a button by accident. Harold did his speed odometer is now in KPH
instead of MPH. You will also notice on the last picture of our trip Harold is still pushing buttons.
|St. Augustine Harley Davidson, Like I said on the video we stopped here a few years ago and I had the opportunity to speak with the former
owns Mrs. Hollingsworth. She impressed me, she took the time and spoke to me at least 30 min. I am sure longer than that. She told me how
they were into racing years ago and lots more....... before I finished talking to her I asked her if she still rode. She had one of those looks like I
can't believe you are asking me that look, Mrs. Hollingsworth still rode. In the video Harold mentioned to me she was one of the first ladies in
Harley Davdison racing. I looked on the internet and could not confirm this one way or the other. I called St. Augustine Harley Davidson and
asked them. They all knew of Mrs. Hollingsworth but could not give me a firm answer. Raced or not She is one very classy Lady.
|Like I said on a previous trip we stopped here. One of our close friends Jill wrote a fictional story of the events that happened here. I mean the
story happened but she added on. It was pretty good, enough to make the hairs on may arm stand up. Maybe she will let me add it on one day
so keep checking back.
|Once again we are at the end of our trip. Harold is still pushing buttons. We defiantly had a great time again. I ordered a new A/C for my bike
will be sent in early October. Hope you enjoyed the trip. Until next time see you on the road. When you can,
JUST GET OUT AND RIDE!!!! Michel

Pennsylvania employers like you are entitled to contest an employee's claim to unemployment compensation. At Kisner Law Firm, we understand that challenging someone's compensation can be a delicate situation, and we work to provide you with information you can use to handle it as carefully as possible.
The first thing to know is that, generally speaking, you can contest a compensation claim for unemployment if you have reason to believe that the employee in question left the company or were fired due to misconduct. This can include harassment of other workers, poor managerial or work choices, decisions that may have reflected badly on the company or cost them money, and other similar negatives. You can also contest claims made by contract workers, as well.
The tricky part comes in when you consider the overall impact that challenging a compensation claim can have on your workplace. Challenges can be costly and may make your other employees wonder how you're using the company's budget. It can also demoralize other workers and make them feel threatened or underappreciated. This can be dangerous to the health of your working environment, as well as the productivity of your workers.
If this has piqued your interest and you want to learn more about ways you can challenge unemployment compensation claims without damaging your work's ecosystem, look no further than our web page. We'll lay out the facts in an easily digested way, and you can then use them to determine where you stand in your own personal situation.

A strange week involving Irish nuns and contemporary art, then moles and the meaning of life, Apples and there is a snake incident
Posted by Graham Parish on Sunday, September 6, 2015
Mrs. Parish has returned and so all is calm and ordered again at La Godefrere. Thankfully I had managed to complete my list of tasks and the house was clean and tidy and all the ironing completed. The cats had not left home and the garden was in a reasonable state although Mrs. Parish seemed to find an inordinate amount of things that still needed doing and has been pottering ever since she returned. While all appears calm there is always something happening, usually to me.
Our daughter Amy came back with Mrs. Parish to stay for the week and so we have been mixing doing essential tasks here with days out, including a trip to see the Alpacas at our friends, John and Alex. This is often an interesting experience as a state of chaos exists, although the alpacas are very cute. Our visit passed of quite normally. However on Thursday Mrs. Parish was busy in the garden and so I took Amy to visit an art gallery at a village called Pontmain. This at the best of times is an interesting experience as Pontmain is the site of religious significance. In 1871 a group of small children said they had seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary appear in the sky. This was in the Franco Prussian war and apparently when the Prussians heard of the vision they decided it was time for peace and went home. The Catholic Church meanwhile decided to make this an official Catholic miracle and promptly set about first building a church and then went even further and built a socking great basilica in the early 1900s. Pontmain only has a population of about 900 but it now became a site for Catholics to visit. There are now seminaries and a rather tacky gift shop selling religious souvenirs.
The virgin Mary as she appeared at Pontmain
The virgin Mary as she appeared at Pontmain
Pontmain by way of a complete contrast has a Centre of Contemporary Art in the village and this of course attracts a rather different audience. For contemporary read weird. The exhibition on when we visited was a series of videos made by an artist called Valerie Mrejen. This is the description from the gallery:
"The work of Valerie Mréjen feeds on memories, facts of daily menus, family ties, language ... all done with a studied sobriety, videos depict stories that look like us, speak for men, women, children who are revealed through minimal stories. She juggles between the fictional and the intimate, the scenario and spontaneity, the actors (who do not play) and non-actors ... On a burlesque, cruel, tongue-in-cheek manner, Valerie Mréjen stages simple situations that reveal our touching and comical sides."
The opening scene of one of the videos - summer memories
The opening scene of one of the videos - summer memories
So you get some idea of Contemporary art. But it is somehow typically French to have such contrasts. The ultra conservative Catholic Church next door to a modern art exhibition and all in a village of less than 1000 people.
Anyway this just gives a bit of background to the strange events that happened to Amy and I while we were there. We had just parked the car and were walking down the road when we saw an elderly lady struggling up the road pulling a suitcase. She called to me in French to help her and she was clearly struggling to walk. So we went over and Amy took her bag while I attempted to help her walk. She wanted to go round the corner to the Church offices. It turns out that she is in fact English and on some sort of pilgrimage to find a group of Irish Nuns who apparently had set up a community in the village. She had tried to find the house but was now lost. At this point her legs gave out and she slid on to the road and helped by me on to the kerbside. The lady is clearly not well both mentally and physically and is getting more and more confused and she tells me she arrived that morning in St. Malo and got a train to Laval and then a taxi to Pontmain. It was about 2-30 so she had had some journey. She kept babbling on about the need to find the Irish Nuns.
Then a couple of French women come round the corner and ask what has happened so in my best French I explain the events and they decide we should call for assistance. In France the fire brigade (sapper pompiers) are called as the first responders and are trained as paramedics. So the women drag out a nearby hotel owner with his phone to call emergency services and soon two vehicles arrive both with three pompiers so there are six men in total all crowding round this poor woman and asking me questions as I was the only one who saw what happened. So I explained in French that she didn't fall and did not bang her head and that I am not her husband and have never seen her before. All the time the woman is still rambling on about Irish nuns and the price of the ferry to St. Malo.
Amy asks me "at what point would it be appropriate for us to go?". The pompiers are looking very confused and a little bemused and amused. It is clear that she has suffered no injury but is clearly exhausted. They establish she has not eaten since first thing at St. Malo and decide to take her to hospital. At this point I ask the pompiers if we can go and quickly we make a retreat to the arts centre.
If the afternoon has not been bizarre enough already the art exhibition is somewhat weird with lots of videos of people talking displayed around the centre. One involves a man deciding whether to go out of his house and in the process puts on one tee shirt after another each with a question printed on it. When we eventually get home I decide I need a very large drink.
The morning after Mrs. Parish arrived back I suggested we go and examine the mole situation and survey the battlefield. It is grim and the orchard seems a mass of molehills. It seems like the Somme full of the debris of war. It is clear that despite revving the tractor and singing the moles have become immune. Mrs. Parish goes off to the armoury to bring forth the weapons of mass destruction to visit upon the moles. As I need to cut the grass I go round to knock down all the molehills. I count as I go and discover to my amazement that there are exactly 42 molehills. Those of you familiar with the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams, will know that 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. Is this a sign of intelligent life among the moles? Do they know what the question is that brings forth the answer 42? Mrs. Parish is much more forthright and says whatever the philosophical issues the moles are going to be pushed back out of the orchard and sets about putting in death traps.
The orchard is a bit of a disaster area at the moment what with all the 42 molehills and all the apple trees are full of apples. Of course this means that as well as knocking down molehills I have to pick up fallen apples which involves a lot of bending down and then shifting the apples. The only saving grace is that we can turn the apples into alcohol either as Pommeau (a cider aperitif or into cider). Of course when picking up apples it is difficult to focus on the end game and my thoughts turn time and again to chopping the trees down.
One of our apple trees
One of our apple trees
So eventually after over an hour knocking down and picking up I finally get to start up the tractor and get on with some mowing. Perfectly at peace with myself and with nature now I feel and after finishing the orchard I set off around the nature trail cutting the grass on the path. I am thinking how lovely it all is when there is a dreadful clunk which comes from the cutting deck. I fear some damage and look back to see what I have hit and there seems to be some sort of bone in the path. When I get off the tractor to investigate I discover to my horror that I have mown over a grass snake. It is a bit messy. It is a real shame as I have grown quite fond of the grass snakes having got to know them better. They do no harm and in fact get rid of a lot of pests. I inform Mrs. Parish that I am cut up about it, before realising the irony of that statement!!
Hey ho, all this strangeness requires a drink. In fact I need to have plenty of drink available as tomorrow our prospective daughter in law arrives with 10 friends for a hen party in our gite. Next week could also be strange........
Bon courage
