What do you do after a long day exploring Helsinki? I should try one of the national pastimes of Finland…ICE SWIMMING! That sounds totally relaxing and definitely rejuvenating, right? When you pair it with a trip to the sauna it doesn't sound all that bad.
What is ice swimming?
Well, it's for those who are bonkers. Sorry, Fins and other friends from the north, but this is just crazy. "Let's go cut a hole on a frozen lake and take a dip." Who thought of this? And what were their motives? My first thought is instant regret, then hypothermia.
Ice swimming is usually paired with a trip to the sauna. Ice swimming has a ton of benefits; it helps your immune system, gives you an endorphin high, increases circulation, and helps you relax.
Do as the Fins Do
I am a fan of doing things others might not try, I definitely think ice swimming is on that list. I also enjoy immersing myself in different cultures and of course trying new things.
The Allas Sea Pool is where I am going to take the plunge. It is located next to the port of Helsinki, the water in the ice pool is connected to the sea. Also, since it is located along the port you are right next to Market Square which is a main traffic area for walkers, bicyclists, and cars. From Market Square you can watch people in the sea pool.
Allas Sea Pool has three outdoor pools, three saunas, and several change rooms and showers. There is even a bar attached! In case you don't warm up enough from the sauna you can warm up with a drink on your way out.
One pool was closed for the evening, so only two were open; the "warm" pool and the "Cold AF" ice pool. A few questions came to my head when preparing to go ice swimming…do I swim first then book it to the sauna? Do I swim in the "warmer" pool, jump in the ice pool, then head to the sauna? How many times should I do this? Guys, I cannot answer a single one of these, so, I just made up my own little way to ice swim. I don't know if this is the "correct" way to do it but here is what I did…
After changing into my swimsuit, I head directly to the "warm" pool. There are about a dozen people swimming; from treading water to full on Michael Phelps swimming. It's November and the average nightly temp is just below freezing. Now, when you think of a warm pool what do you think of? In my head I thought it would be um…warm. I scootch my frozen butt into the pool and think…"nope, not warm, not warm".
*If you follow me on Snapchat (KittytoCity), you will definitely remember this scene as I filmed it live.
The Cold "Warm" Pool
After a few moments I get used to the cold "warm" pool and get the nerves to brave the trip through the freezing cold to take a dip in the ice pool. So, I trot my icicle tits down the walkway to the ice pool and take a deep breath before shimmying down the ladder. This should be a piece of cake, right? On the other side of the pool a not-so-young woman is taking full strides in the pool, how cold could it be?
The answer: so cold it is hot! I am hanging off the ladder and only have my legs in up to my knees and the pain is something else. It tingles, but not like my legs are asleep more like 10,000 little needles are being stuck into every part of my body that is covered by frigid water.
The Cold AF Ice Sea Pool
At this moment, I know I do not need to put my entire body in the pool what I need to do is get the hell out and go the the damn warm pool. I climb out as quickly as I can and run to the warm pool. On the run back, I could not feel my legs the tingling from being in the cold water now made the muscles in my feet and calves convulse. I really wanted to do a cannonball into the warm pool, but then had better judgement and used the ladder. Oh my gosh the warm pool…it felt amazing. The tingling slowly stopped and felt like my legs were getting a massage.
Okay, I want to do this again! In about five minutes I repeat my journey. Cursing myself as I run from the warm pool to the ice pool, then getting in to only about my knees again and running back to the warm pool.
My Last Plunge
On my last jaunt to the ice pool I take a brave plunge and go in up to my neck. Mistake. Regret. Doom. That one did not feel so pleasant. Honestly, more power to the Fins for ice swimming. I could not last more than two seconds with most of my body submerged. I run back to the warm pool to catch my breath, and then head to the sauna.
So, here it is folks…I've done this for you. No need to go out and freeze your butt off for a fun little game of "If The Fins Do It I Should Do It Too". Would I do it again? Hmmm…maybe. When I went to Helsinki in November the ice pool was not covered in ice. I would like to get that experience.
I did find it to be thrilling and relaxing at the same time. What is something you've done out of your comfort zone? Did you do it while traveling? I'd love to hear from you!

Adjectives won't do justice to the man, which is even hard to invoke imagery suitable to spell it out his accomplishments. You can find the players referred to as musician's music artists; Andrew White colored, one would need to say, is really a musician's musician's musician. Anybody of his abilities may be judged as an impossibility by every other common mortal: such as for example understanding how to play the oboe; overdubbing a chamber music quartet and playing all of the musical instruments himself; transcribing all of the solos of John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy; or getting the stamina to try out a 24-hour gig, deteriorating three rhythm areas along the way. This isn't to say his playing bass and carrying out musical preparations for the beautiful pop and spirit group the 5th Sizing; producing an ear-grabbing appearance on an early on Weather Report record; or posting his autobiography, the amusing Sugar. Jazz enthusiasts who have captured one of is own live shows without doubt have a cherished storage of his amazing energy and apparently bottomless well of improvisational concepts. Like many great performers, he also offers areas of his profession that are appealing from beyond your perspective of his particular genre, in cases like this jazz. In the first '70s, Light started self-publishing his albums, motivating and developing a function model for most other music artists as the idea of performers seizing power over their very own recordings begun to spread to numerous other genres aswell. The rawness of several of his early LP produces offended touchy, purist jazz critics, a few of whom possess continuing to complain concerning this facet of White's function in to the '90s as well as the period of CDs, which obviously saw White colored continuing release a volume after level of his personal music, often documented live. Slapdash fine art, bad recording audio, out-of-tune pianos, repeated programming, weak tempo areas, tasteless jokes; they are all issues which have been produced about White colored productions. But there are many jazz listeners who view it in a different way. The White colored packaging style is a lot greater than a sort of folk artwork, it is a real possibility check for a method of music that's all too often mangled into an upscale customer commodity. The ones that crave links between American jazz music as well as the freewheeling, anarchistic punk and home-taping moments will most likely appoint Light as you of a common jazz performers. Jazz manufacturers or enthusiasts who just like the industrial prestige of all-star lineups possess constantly whined about attempting to place Light before a rhythm portion of "his peers." Listeners who prefer to feel the pleasure of genuine jazz which has not really been "created" may choose hearing a tempo section actually scrambling to maintain with White; no one could be accused of conserving their chops in these circumstances. Finally — most likely not, there's always yet another thing with White colored — you can find his marathon shows and subsequent paperwork, events that provide him in to the world of performance artwork, and an exhausting sub-genre of music overall performance in which proof endurance may be the creative award. The White colored 24-hour gig — at one stage in the '70s on nine individual edges — was his contribution to the kind of musical background, which also contains the Russian single performer Uri Kassyanik's 24-hour overall performance, some of that was released around the Compact disc Guinness Record (Unfixed However), in addition to an infamous 24-hour concert of improvised music including players in the London scene such as for example Evan Parker and David Toop. Within this context, it really is his nearly miraculous saxophone skills that Light is revealing, and he's certainly within a group with any former champ jazz gladiator such as for example Johnny Griffin. Light is an excellent interpreter of John Coltrane, mostly of the players who actually seems in a position to rise to the master's degree of strength. Unlike Coltrane, he includes a strong love of life in his playing, which he brings about even more on hard bop, golf swing, or funk quantities. He also lists "laughing" among the "areas of his profession." White's mix of virtuoso specialized playing with laughter, occasionally rowdy and raucous and once again the main topic of criticism from uptight jazz critics, places him in a distinctive course of jazz greats such as for example Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Fat Waller. The marathon endurance of the person also is obvious from his speed of are a composer and transcriber. White colored has written nearly 1,000 compositions for instrumental ensembles of most sizes and statements to get transcribed and self-published the biggest catalogue of saxophone transcriptions on the planet. There are a lot more than 1,000 individual transcriptions in his publication, many of them from Coltrane but additionally from Charlie Parker, Paul Gonsalves, Johnny Hodges, and Eric Dolphy, in addition to his personal solos. Although a lot of his activity continues to be because the captain of his personal ship, whether a music group, record organization, or publishing business, White colored has also experienced a respectable profession like a sideman in jazz and an exceptionally busy one like a program guy and arranger in tempo & blues and spirit music. Within the '80s, he caused supreme heavyweight drummer bandleaders such as for example Elvin Jones and Beaver Harris, and in 1987 was section of some superb projects developed by Midwest saxophonist and composer Julius Hemphill. He also caused the fantastic pianist McCoy Tyner, documenting on the good live recording Asante. In 1994, White colored toured European countries with trumpeter Ted Curson. One of is own earliest organizations was the J.F.K. Quartet, which performed and documented from his Washington, D.C., bottom in the initial fifty percent of the '60s, getting the eye of large hitters such as for example Cannonball Adderley, who volunteered to create the group's initial album. Beginning Andrew's Music in 1971, Light went on to produce a lot more than 45 of his very own albums. Over the oboe and British horn, he comes with an completely split profession related to traditional music, quite an accomplishment technically, because so many saxophonists are just primitive players at greatest on the tough oboe. He went to the Paris Conservatory of Music in 1964 and 1965, and was oboist with the guts of Innovative and Performing Arts in the University or college of NY at Buffalo. In the past due '60s, White colored was primary oboist using the American Ballet Theater of NY. On electrical bass? Once again, another profession in an completely different picture. He performed on tour with Stevie Wonder from 1967 through 1970, and be started his relationship using the 5th Dimensions, which lasted through 1976. White colored was created Andrew Nathaneal White colored III in Washington, D.C., in the first '40s and visited elementary college in Nashville just before returning to the country's capital, where he offers pretty much continued to be ever since. A minimum of, when he's calling somewhere house. His diverse actions took him all around the globe, "in the bowels from the crudest Southern racism towards the peaks of the best levels of advanced echelons that nurture and home arty-farty traditional music, lofty jazz, and ultra-hip rock and roll & move," because the generally amusing artist represents it within the blurb for his autobiography, self-published in 2001. Probably nothing shows the unpredictability of the artist a lot more than his huge catalogue of released written functions, a level of text that could keep a group of keying in elves busy for a long time. These run the number of critical and right educational tomes with basic titles such as for example Transcription and Professionalism and reliability to some "X-rated" quantities. He offers one publication of humor, not really X-rated, that's totally specialized in the oboe, and another using the exciting name DUDE! On Paternal Entrapment. Within the springtime of 2002, the Kennedy Middle Millennium Stage shown an event known as the "Andrew White colored 30th SPECIAL BIRTHDAY," including shows of his traditional compositions from the Westhampton Winds. White colored went on release a 2003's Forever NUMBER 1 and 2012's Who Got de Funk?

Ref T13151. Ref T12164. Two small tweaks:
- If we aren't actually going to change anything, just skip the writes. This makes re-running/resuming a lot faster (~20x, locally).
- Print when we touch a commit so there's some kind of visible status.
This is just a small quality-of-life tweak that I wrote anyway while investigating T13152, and will make finishing off db024, db025 and db010 manually a little easier.

"Contemporary art has become a gage of trendiness, if not necessarily good taste?" (see: Art or entertainment?.)
Current wisdom dictates that if you are making an investment in contemporary painting you do not buy something that you like. On the contrary, you follow the route that is being followed by investors in the know: you invest in a painter.
- First and foremost you never buy a new or recent painting as an investment. You instead buy a new or recent painter.
- If you do not have the inclination, time, or money, this is not a problem. This is the specialty of most contemporary art galleries. Their game is finding the right artists and inflating their prices.
- Assume that this painter's name is known by at least 3 people in the second echelon of the art world: maybe a critic for a monthly publication, or the ex-wife of a collector. These people can be helpful when the times come to circulate the painter's name.
- Make sure that your artist has talent or personality. Or in lieu of talent, flash or a new style of painting will substitute.
- His personality needs to last at least three years. So deeper character is not important. In three years you will have secured your investment and turned a reasonable profit.
- Obtain the services of a good public relation person. For a modest fee this will get your artist's name into the society- columns and onto semi-society guest lists.
- For a little more this person can get exposure for your name to help your investment (i.e., "well known patron of the art…? or "Noted collector…? etc.).
- Next, you purchase a one-man/woman show at a good gallery. This may cost you 15,000 to 20,000 € but it is a bargain. It brings you a winner and gives your reputation a big boost at the same time.
- Of course you invite critics to this show. Pray that they will like at least two of the paintings.
- Subsidize a few friends to buy a few paintings. Nothing will motivate investors to buy than seeing those little red dots.
- During this show, find someone with time, money, and patience to take your artist around cocktail parties and teach him some basic manners: Also the typical artist-at-party chit-chat.

Mini Athletics Thurrock and Basildon
After trialing many activities with our daughter from a young age we endeavoured to search for a local athletics group, sadly to no avail.
Our search led us to an Athletics group in Cambridge, and despite some reluctance to drive, we persevered and amazingly our daughter could not have enjoyed it more.
It was this experience that began our journey to launching Mini Athletics Thurrock & Basildon.
We hope your children love it as much as ours.
Amanda and Dan.

If you can get time of morning for solitude of contemplation and meditation, then very good. Perhaps it is not possible for you to take time of morning, then you should do so that you have to take any other time together to work your time together. Whenever you can see that a half hour or fifteen minute time comes out, in which you are calm. It is important for mind to be calm.
In a hurry, you will chant anywhere, walk, do not do it. Thinking is not possible for contemplation. This should be a place where external distraction does not occur and your mind becomes calm and concentrated. For this, find a suitable place of privacy, then it is even better, but if you do not get it, then you can also close your eyes and sit in such a place where there is no noise. Eyes will close, even then cave – the situation of residence becomes. Going into the cave and being calm – moving alone is the only thing. If this is not possible, then close your eyes. Closing the eyes is also a job. Closing the eyes can be a lot of work too. When you close your eyes, the inner look is seen inside, there is nothing out there or does not look.
So you close your eyes and see yourself sitting in solitude. In this way, work can be done as well, for meditation, you should sit quietly for some time and understand that we are alone, nobody is our partner and cooperative. Let the partners stay at their place, the co-workers at their place, the family at their place, the money at their place, the business at their place, the farming place at their place, all of them. You just feel that we are lonely and are sitting alone. What to do? Then you start thinking of two types. This is style to consider. It is not style of meditation, it is question. There is room for contemplation and contemplation, mind has complete right to escape. In meditation, one has to do in center, but it does not have to be done in one center. There is a wide scope to consider for this.
When thoughtfulness calls you in which the past is considered for the past, how our past has been spent. Your review about it. You cannot review yourself, but you know well how to review others. You can review the neighbors, blame your wife, scold the children, remove all the mistakes of the world, can get God's fault, can tell the mistake of destiny. There is no such thing that you do not tell the mistake, but your mistake? You do not even think about your mistake. If you start thinking about your mistakes, review your own self, then there will be a lot of thunderous things to know that we did not have to do. A lot of things will come to know that the things we have done, things we have adopted, should not have adopted them. Does this idea ever come to you? No, never come.

843 injured at last count
Tsunami from erupting Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) kills at least 222 in Indonesia.
The deadly tsunami, apparently caused by an underwater landslide on slopes of the volcanic island, struck in the dark without warning.
The ground did not shake beforehand to alert people to the oncoming wave that ripped buildings from their foundations in seconds and swept terrified concertgoers on a popular resort beach into the sea.
Azki Kurniawan, 16, said his first warning about the tsunami was when people burst into the lobby of the Patra Comfort Hotel shouting, "Sea water rising!"
Thanks to Vance, Laurel and Benjamin Napier for these links

Whether you're already engaged, thinking of popping that question, or expecting a proposal soon, you may be wondering...
Who insures the engagement ring, bride or groom?
Engagement ring shopping is stressful.
You've dreamt about your perfect engagement ring and you think you have a pretty good idea in your head. Then you come face-to-face with the near endless options and you're back at square one.
To prepare for the buying experience, arm yourself with these five questions to ask your jeweler when shopping for an engagement ring:
You did it. You decided to propose.
For many, the engagement ring is one of the most expensive purchases you encounter after a home or a vehicle. It's highly unlikely that you'll misplace an entire building or a car, but that tiny, precious ring might be a little nerve-wracking to keep track of.
Once you're able to stop staring at your shiny new engagement ring, questions like these seem to pop up left and right.
When it comes to engagement ring cleaning & care, let us be your guide.

If Guys Made Tampon Commercials...
It is a universally understood fact that whenever guys try to talk about anything involving periods, they are bound to get just about everything wrong — though this doesn't stop them from trying. So imagining a tampon commercial written by clueless guys is enough to get you laughing all on its own. But thanks to NYU's sketch comedy group Hammerkatz, we don't have to imagine; they made such a commercial for us. And the results are glorious.
"It's literally impossible to know when your period will hit," the ad explains since of course the "all male advertising team at Tampax" has never heard of period-tracking apps or birth control. But whether you get your period "once a month, twice a month, 15 times a month, 100 times a day," they promise that their product will have you covered to scoop those blood-covered eggs back inside your body. Or whatever tampons even do. Is it something to do with keeping your vagina from getting cold? It's probably to do with keeping vaginas from getting cold.
I think the message is clear. When it comes to periods, guys should stick to looking vaguely uncomfortable about the whole subject and leave the revolutionizing of menstrual product advertising to women. We're better at it. Since, you know, we actually know what we're talking about.
Otherwise you wind up with women carting an entire purse bursting with tampons as her supply "for the week." To quote Sally Ride when NASA asked if 100 tampons would be the right number for her seven-day mission in space, "That would not be the right number."

If I have learned anything during this past year, it is that the mercy of Christ is limitless and flows like an ocean. Christ's mercy abounds; filled with love and compassion. Now that this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy has come to a close, I also realize how accessible Christ's mercy remains. Christ's door to mercy never closes!
Jesus waits patiently for each of us to face up to our sins; to come back to Him, through the sacrament of Reconciliation. Therefore, it is in the confessional that Christ forgives us our sins and graces us with His mercy. Although, we enter feeling shamed, we exit feeling joyous!
As we approach the season of Advent, a time of Continue reading

Mohamed Salah reveals how much he wants to beat Harry Kane
Mohamed Salah vs Harry Kane
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was again on the scoresheet for Liverpool over the weekend.
Liverpool beat Bournemouth 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday night in the Premier League.
Salah scored the second of the game to move onto 30 Premier League goals for the season.
As for Tottenham, they were beaten 3-1 by Man City at Wembley on Saturday.
Harry Kane failed to add to his goals tally against the Sky Blues.
Kane has 25 Premier League goals this season.
Salah: I want to beat Kane
So how important is it for Salah to beat Kane to be the Premier League top scorer?
The Egyptian has spoken to the press following the Bournemouth game to discuss what being the Premier League's top marksman would mean:
Of course it is in my mind. Of course I cannot lie – it is in my mind.
But you know, you can see (on Saturday) with the team everyone tries to pass the ball to me to help me.
I am also sure that Tottenham's players try to help Harry Kane, and also Manchester City's try to help Sergio Aguero. It's like that, but in the end we play as a team.
Do I want my team-mates to pass the ball more? Yes, but they pass the ball anyway!
Now we still have four (Premier League) games and they have five or six games so I have to think about my games and we see.
Top goalscorer odds
Following his goal against Bournemouth, the bookies have reacted by slashing odds on the Liverpool star topping the scoring charts.
In a clear sign that the bookies want to deter punters from betting on Salah, the Egyptian is now priced at 1/10.
As for Harry Kane, his blank against Man City has pushed the bookies to extend his odds.
Punters can now back Kane to catch Salah in the scoring charts at 13/2.

PML-N celebrates Pakistan Nuke Test Day as Day of National Pride
HYDERABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (N) took out a rally to celebrate Youm Takbeer, Pakistan nuclear test day. The rally was led by Hanif Siddiqui district president of the party. Addressing the rally Hanif Siddiqui said 28th May was an important day for Pakistan. 18 years back Pakistan became first Muslim country in the world by a successful test of the nuclear bomb. It was in reply to Indian nuclear test. The Pakistani leadership, notwithstanding external Western pressures and Indian hegemonic designs to tilt power balance through its nuclear tests, opted courageously in 1998 to respond and restored the power balance in South Asia through six tests.
He said the day was a national pride and thanksgiving which made Pakistan 7th world nuclear power. The credit for making the country's defence impregnable during 1998 went to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, laying strong foundations for a stable and prosperous Pakistan, added Siddiqui.
He said the nuclear test was replied to enemies of Pakistan that if any one raised eyebrows against Pakistan destruction was its fate. Vice-president Abdul Waheed Inqilabi, Ayoob Rajput, Akbar Shah, and others also spoke on the occasion.
Another rally was taken out also which was led by PML divisional general secretary Adnan Qaimkhani, divisional secretary information Jamal Arif Sohrwardy, district general secretary Syed Shahid Ali and district vice president Deedar Solangi.
The speakers paid rich tributes to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and scientist Dr. Qadeer Khan, ho made Pakistan strong and invincible.
After deployment of Indian missiles in June 1997 on their western border and the troops' movement on both sides of the border led to credence that such murkier state of affairs could break an imminent war between the two countries.
Obfuscating the scene further, on May 11, 1998 India tested three of its nukes followed by yet two others on May 13 to boast of its strategic strength in the region.
May 28 was marked as the day of national solidarity which required to be celebrated in an enthusiastic and befitting manner as the second most important day in our national history.

Philippines: Four killed, 11 missing in ferry capsize
Hanoi (VNA) – Four people were killed and 11 went missing after a ferry capsized on December 21 offshore the town of Real, 70km east of the Philippine capital city of Manila, according to local authorities.
As many as 240 passengers were rescued, with most of them brought to Dinahican port.
Spokesperson of the Philippine coastguard Armand Balilo said the search and rescue mission will continue until the state of all people on board is identified. However, efforts to rescue other victims could be affected by heavy rains and strong waves triggered by a storm.

La Conquête du pain
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
At this excellent organic boulangerie, buying bread is a political statement.
La Conquête du Pain does a little more than just sell bread. Named for a text by Pierre Kropotkine, this Montreuil-based boulangerie shares the Russian anarchist's anti-capitalist approach, being entirely self-managed since 2010. All of its employees earn the same salary, and any profits are reinvested back into the store.
The boulangerie makes every effort to stick to its manifesto, particularly when it comes to pricing. There's a special discount on the items on offer for anyone in need, no justification required (25% for the bread, which is completely organic, and 10% for the other products) and its 'pre-historic' baguette is sold for 75 centimes instead of one euro. What's more, any unsold items are distributed to associations in need.
If you need any more proof that this is one socially-conscious bakery, have a look at the names of the sandwiches – we'll take an Angela Davis!

Every Tuesday night there is a regular household auction in a nearby town. Things go CHEAP at this auction (I don't know how the auction company makes ANY money!). We used to go to this regularly when we had a booth at an antique mall & were doing eBay... obviously since we've been in Colorado we've not attended. In the past month we've gone every Tuesday night. There's usually not much we need or want there - we did buy a coffee table last week - the kind with the little bear on its back with the glass top... BUT we've brought home a few things that we're selling on eBay. When one spends a $2.00 or less for a whole box of stuff... anything you make is PROFIT!
This same auction company buys delinquent storage units & auctions off the contents. It's amazing to me that people would PAY to store some of the CRAP that comes out of the units! We attended such an auction yesterday. One box was full of pots & pans... most looked like they had been taken off the stove & thrown in a box with food still stuck to them! Can you say GROSS!?!?!?!? The little house we're renting has a pantry but strangely, not many shelves. And do you know there were 5 stacking bins at this auction... and I got them all for $1.50. I figure they'll work in the cabin as well so that's a bonus! Included with the bins were 5 t-shirts... all of them in my younger son's size! Bonus for him! My big score (for another $1.50) was this manual hand mixer. It has a canister & three types of beaters & a spatula - everything fits in a base. I don't know if I'd be able to make cookie dough...but it would certainly work for making pancake or cake batter. Jerry bought STACKS of books (Nazi, football, gun) and a stack of pamphlets from the 1950's - 1960's from historical sites across the U.S. One interesting item, I thought, is a recipe book from the FLORIDA SANITARIUM & HOSPITAL. Looks like from the 1950's. We've sold similar paper items on eBay & done well with them. It's amazing what people collect. He was up until about 1:00 a.m. listing stuff on eBay.
Our friends heard a local radio station advertise "The Mother of all Garage Sales" in March. It's a one-day event... we've done it before & done well. Whatever doesn't sell on eBay will go to this event. Goodness knows I have LOTS of stuff to get rid of!
In the meantime... my house looks like a tornado hit it... and that doesn't seem to bother Jerry. This little house has another very small bedroom (not sure one could actually get a bed in it)... and the computer desk is in it... however the computer sits on the kitchen table so the TV is in direct view. Ugh! Today he goes for a physical of sorts to see if he'd be eligible to participate in a medical study. It's a weeklong stay... and if he makes the cut... I'm going to clean out that extra room, organize it & move the computer & all the auction stuff into that room! I can't live like this much longer!
I'm starting to crack!!!

KARACHI: Karachi Mayor Wasim Akhtar presided over a meeting on Tuesday to discuss arrangements of Muharramul Haram with ulema.
The meeting was held at the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) building. The mayor was informed that arrangements were being made to repair sewerage lines and roads around imambargahs, especially those located near MA Jinnah Road.
"A contingency plan has been prepared on the advice of ulema," Akhtar said, adding that the repair of sewerage lines was the responsibility of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board, while repair of roads was being carried out by the KMC with its limited funds and resources.
The mayor lamented that he was unable to carry out mega projects in the city and give relief to citizens. He bemoaned the fact that Karachi's civic administration was unable to rebuild its ruined infrastructure due to lack of funds despite it was the city that generated highest revenue for the country.
Lahore police chalk out security plan for Muharram
The meeting was attended by several ulema and scholars including Allama Abbas Kumaili of Jafferia Alliance, Moulana Akbar Dars, Syed Akhtar Abbas Zaidi, Haji Hanif Tayyeb, Syed Baqar Hussain, Mufti Bilal, Moulana Sajid Jaffery, Dr Jamil Rathore, Moulana Umer Sadiq, Ali Karrar Naqvi, Imran Ahmed Salfi and others.
The religious scholars discussed with the mayor issues being faced by Karachi residents. They demanded that dilapidated water and sewerage infrastructure and roads be renovated and street lights be installed.
The ulema also called for release of funds to the KMC and district municipal corporations so that they could make necessary arrangements before Muharram.
Meanwhile, Metropolitan Commissioner Dr Syed Saifur Rehman said fire brigade, city wardens and other civic agencies will remain vigilant during central processions of Muharram 9 and 10.

With driverless and electric cars dominating most mainstream transportation news, the focus is often on drivers. But London-Based urban technology firm, Umbrellium puts pedestrians first.
Ubrellium created the first-ever responsive road surface, called Starling Crossing. "Starling" stands for "Stigmergic Adaptive Responsive Learning". The prototype was installed in South London, but one can see the utility of this technology in any modern bustling city, where pedestrian populations are ever-increasing. And with the danger of smartphone-distracted driver also on the rise, prioritizing pedestrian safety is a necessity.
Ubrellium describes the functionality of Starling Crossing on their website:
". . .cameras track objects that are moving across the road surface, distinguishing between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, calculating their precise locations, trajectories and velocities and anticipating where they may move to in the next moment."
You can see Starling Crossing in action below:

THE ROLLING maul is back with a vengeance and this scribe – along with countless gnarly forwards who long for the rough and tumble of yesteryear – couldn't be happier.
But it is the South African sides that are reaping its benefits during in this year's instalment of the Super 14.
The Bulls have showed how effective it can be. They have bullied, smashed and out-muscled every team they've played this season and that's because they've used this piece of old-fashioned forward play to devastating effect.
New Zealand – like we were last year under the high ball during the Tri Nations – has once again been caught short by the old foe.
Although Graham Henry tried reinstalling the maul during the early part of his All Black tenure, this pillar of New Zealand forward play in the 1960s and 70s is very much a forgotten art at the top-level these days.
In fact, when is the last time you saw a New Zealand Super 14 franchise – or NPC team, for that matter – getting their drive on and rumbling up the field in unison?
East Coast captured the nation's admiration using this tactic. The minows from Ngati Porou rolling mauled their way to back-to-back NPC Third Division titles and a Second Division finals appearance during a fairytale run between 1999 and 2001.
But I digress.
Kiwi sides would rather play free flowing rugby. And that's fine. After all, attacking rugby is entertaining rugby. It ensures bums on seats, so I'm told.
But this style of play requires space, which is a rare commodity at international level. How often have we seen the All Black simply shuffle the ball from one side of the field to the other in recent seasons trying to find holes in the watertight defensive screens that plague the game?
With the opposition no longer committing players to the breakdown, there are no gaps to be exploited, no acres of space for the likes of Cory Jane and Ma'a Nonu to cut some merry cappers out wide.
This is where the maul could help. If done correctly, it can aid the attempt to play open rugby, as it provides the ideal conditions to move the ball wide.
In short, mauls are designed to draw defenders in. And with the new rules outlawing the collapsing of mauls, the opposition are now forced commit players in order to stop a team gaining momentum from a lineout drive.
That opens up space, which in turn leads to opportunities and, most importantly, tries (provided you're any team but the Hurricanes of course).
Even if defenders aren't sucked in, they'd likely try to stop the opponent's weigh on by pulling the maul down illegally, meaning a possible three points or chance to reset and have another crack.
So really it's a win-win.
Defending the maul, however, has left a few players and coaches baffled this year.
Which is surprising, as it's Rugby 101, the stuff you learn when you're a kid running around on a cold Saturday morning.
But the Sunday Star Times ran a story two weeks ago in which Highlanders coach Glenn Moore said it was difficult to stop when a team has its platform set.
That may be true, but like former All Blacks Craig Down and Ian Jones said in the same story, it can be defused before any damage is done.
From my experience, the key is to get in early, hit it hard and make sure you have the numbers. Good body positioning is also paramount. Go too high and you'll get smashed, as the South African teams have shown.
As well as going in hard and low, defenders must firmly place their feet by digging their sprigs into the ground. That will help set a good foundation to counter the drive. Should you lose your footing, then peel off and re-enter the back of the maul and re-establish your footing.
It's hardly rocket science, eh?
So the maul is fashionable again. No doubt Messers Henry, Hansen and Smith would have noticed this during their eight-week diet of Super rugby.
The good thing is time is on their side. They can analyse the maul, develop methods to combat its effectiveness and look at incorporating it into the All Black's repertoire.
Hopefully the 'three wise men' will heed the call.

After many years of waiting, students swimmers from
Armuchee High, Coosa High, Model High, and Pepperell High finally received the opportunity to represent their schools in the pool. Students swam for their individual schools while competing on the Floyd County Schools Swim Team (FCSST). Led by head coach Lee
Kaylor and assistant coach Lacie Hardigree, the FCSST amassed 12 swimmers early on. Starting with six girls and six boys on varsity, the team was competitive during their inaugural season.

system offering a swim team," said Floyd County Schools Director of Student Services Glenn White. "I think it's been a great first season, and we appreciate all the time Coach Kaylor and Coach Hardigree dedicated to working with our students."
Kaylor was a competitive swimmer who started swimming
at age seven, competed until age 17, and was a member of the USA swim team swimming against hundreds of individuals across the southeast.
"These 12 swimmers all had various levels of experience,
yet they all competed fiercely and repeatedly placed in the top 50%, several times in the top 10%," said Kaylor. "I am proud of these student athletes for stepping up to the difficult and demanding challenge that swimming requires. The 2019-2020 swim season
will continue to build on the strong foundation that this year has provided. I could not be more proud of the 2018-2019 FCSST."
"When I first started swimming for FCSST, I had no idea it would be such
an amazing journey," said Coosa High sophomore Finn Hall. "From getting to know new people, to getting better in the pool, it was a great experience!"
"It was great! I had a blast swimming with such a great group of people,"
said Model High sophomore Belle Bryant.
The following student athletes completed the season and received a certificate to letter:
- Brewer Blalock, freshman, Model High
- Belle Bryant, sophomore, Model High
- Will Chandler, freshman, Model High
- Alexia Fowler, sophomore, Model High
- Michael Fuller, sophomore, Coosa High
- Blake Galenzoski, sophomore, Pepperell High
- Finn Hall, sophomore, Coosa High
- Molley Maddox, freshman, Model High
- Sophia Swann, sophomore, Model High
None of this would have been possible without the partnership Floyd County Schools has built with Darlington School to be able to use their swim facilities for the team to practice and compete locally.

Creating a one of a kind Ouroboros ring
A serpent bites its own tail – this ancient symbol of eternity, or rather how time begins, ends and begins anew is a much-loved illustration throughout religions, art and literature. It illustrates the cycle of life and death, the turn of the seasons, wholeness, the union of opposites and infinity at large. Recently, a customer wanted me to create ring, using this very symbol and it was such a treat to comply!
We meet the tail-biting snake for the first time in ancient Egypt – famously in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Here they depict the deity Mehen, which protects the sun god Ra on his nightly journey through the underworld. Generally, the snake it represents the formless disorder which surrounds the orderly world and is involved in that world's periodic renewal.
By Djehouty - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0
The tail-biting snake pops up throughout the world and ages: In ancient Greece it gets its name, which means "tail-devouring snake". Here in the Scandinavia we know about this large snake too – the Midgaard worm, which encompasses the whole world (and which the thunder god Thor famously attempts to wrestle).
Picture by Uwezi
Curiously, many tribes of South America too believed, that the world (disc) is surrounded by the gigantic snake Queztacoatl biting its own tail. And in the Hindu belief, a dragon circles the tortoise which supports the four elephants that carry the world. (If you are a reader of fantasy literature, you might recognize this description as the Discworld of Terry Pratchett – though without the snake).
Later, the alchemists use the Ouroboros as a symbol of mercury, which is "a substance which permeates all matter", while the semi-religious conviction of the Gnostics too used the symbol extensively with the same meaning of eternity and the cycle of life and death, because a snake symbolizes resurrection, since it appears to be continually reborn as it sheds its skin.
Carl Jung, being a famous Swizz psychologist describes the symbol in this way: "The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This 'feed-back' process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites".
Sometimes, the serpent is not only shaping a circle, but a figure 8 and therefore, the symbol of infinity – a horizontal figure 8 – is by many seen as a simpler, modern adaptation of the Ouroboros
Serpent, worm, dragon, snake – which one is it?
Actually, all of the above are interchangeable when it comes to the Ouroboros. As long as it is reptilian, all is well. Most Ouroboros'es don't feature legs or wings though you see some exceptions:
Ouroboros in great stories
Such a powerful symbol has to pop up especially in fantasy fiction and surly it does! Apart from the aforementioned Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, here are a few more examples - and the whole reason why this commission of an Ouroboros ring was placed.
In the Neverending Story by Michael Ende, the symbol Auryn consists of two snakes (one white and one black) which bite each others tail. The two snakes symbolize the dual nature of the two worlds, one Phantasia and the other Reality. Also, AURYN stands for the twin nature of the two snakes, and their mutual creation and destruction. If one of the two worlds become too powerful, it will destroy the other, as it happens to Phantasia, which is devoured by nothingness because no humans believe in it anymore. In the story, the amulet holds magical powers – go read it if you are curious.
However, it was another story which led my customer to commission her Ouroboros ring: The series "Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan, where the mystical order of the Aes Sedai provides a double-twining snake rings to the Tower's trainees once they reach the rank of Accepted. This 14 books series is being made into a TV series (good news for all of us who are looking with dread at the upcoming last season of the Game of Thrones). Want to know more about this world? Here is a description:
My customer who had recently had two children with her husband, wanted an eternity ring to symbolize their now inseverable union. She designed her personal Aes Sedai ring, also known as "The great serpent ring" to twine sinuously and looking into the world with blue, glittering diamond eyes, one for each daughter.
After quite a few drawings she decided on one particular way in which the snake was to move and I dug out my wax carving tools. Working with such a 3-dimensional shape is almost impossible directly in gold and hence I set out on cutting, filing and scraping a lump of wax into the exact shape of her ring.
This process takes a long time – especially because it was important to me to get the shape just right! Not only the way the body was to meander around the finger, but also the somewhat trianglular shape op it (when ding a cross-section) - because a snake isn't just cylindrical and the line which the spine describes therefore adds to the caught movement of the animal.
However, once we were both satisfied, it was sent off to the caster, which turned wax into gold.
Now another set of hours were used on perfecting the shape further, setting the diamond eyes and providing a contemporary structured surface (in stead of the scales which many might expect). The finished ring was downright stunning!

Option to hide associated invoices for staff/developer in Project Management addon
Action Hosting shared this idea 6 years ago
Under Consideration
In WHMCS Project Management addon, staff member (developer) can view project associated invoices, add invoice to project, and quick create invoice.
We outsource our developers so this section cannot be shown to them. In the past we had problems with developers stealing our clients and underbidding.
There must be a way to hide the associated invoices section for certain staff members.

Lord, I am coming to you today with a heavy heart filled with regret over the past, and anxiety for the future. I had an interview on Tuesday for a better job and I was fired on Wednesday. I pray for your favour tha I get the job. As I wait for the decision to be made, I pray for your favour. Lord cancel out my mistakes in the interview and replace those with your goodness. Grant me peace of mind, so I can fill my life with your goodness and grace. Let my skills and talents you have given me shine. Let them pick me for the position. I pray for my interviewees and bless them Lord to make the right decision.
I thank you for the teaching opportunities I have had thus far and pray that you continue to present those to me. Lord I know you have a plan for me and I pray for the patience to wait and see what you have planned for me.
Give me the guidance and the signs to know that everything is as it should be.
I ask this through Jesus' name amen.

Walk-ins welcome (call to enquire)
Same day appointments generally available
Bunions are bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of your big toe and can be painful, especially in tighter shoes. Their causes can come from genetics or birth deformities, physical stress or foot injuries in your feet and joints, over pronation, or a medical condition, such as arthritis. When your big toe is pushing against your next toe or the shape of your foot is putting too much pressure on the joint, this forces it to enlarge and stick out.
Some of the symptoms of bunions include:
If you feel any of these symptoms, it might be time to visit your doctor or podiatrist and get your foot examined. They'll be able to rule out other issues or foot problems and let you know what can be done to treat your bunions.
At the present time, there's no best treatment for bunions but you can treat them at home with non-prescribed medication to alleviate the pain. Avoid shoes that will hurt your feet, such as tight ones or high heels. You can also invest in orthotics or cushion pads depending on the severity of your condition.
You should avoid activities that put direct pressure on your feet and big toes and instead try to take part in activities that don't, such as cycling or swimming. Bunions should not keep you from maintaining an active lifestyle as you may experience other issues if you become sedentary.
While they don't always cause issues, bunions can cause complications, such as hammertoe, bursitis, or metatarsalgia. Talk to your doctor or podiatrist if you think you might have one of these issues.
When the cause is genetics or a defect at birth, you can't really prevent bunions but if not, there are a few ways that you can, such as careful shoe choices. Ensure that your shoes fit your feet properly without pressing or squeezing on any part of your foot and have some room in the toe box for freedom of movement for your toes and joints.
If you suspect you may have a bunion, call the Edmonton Foot Health Centre to book an appointment today.

In an opinion which can be found here, In the Matter of E.R. Moiles, the Court of Appeals agreed with the Mecosta County trial court which had revoked an acknowledgement of paternity of a child. In that case, the man who signed the affidavit of parentage (Moiles) had reason to know that he might not be the biological father, but signed the affidavit anyway. The actual biological father (Weeks) requested that the court revoke the acknowledgment, stating that Moiles knew he might not be the biological father. A paternity test found that Moiles was not the biological father, and the court revoked the acknowledgement and found paternity with the true biological father. This was done under the Revocation of Paternity Act. That Act has several requirements to revoke an acknowledgement of parentage; in this type of situation, it requires that the acknowledged father must have committed fraud or misrepresentation when he signed the acknowledgement. MCL 722.1437(2). The court decided that Mr. Moiles had done this because he had reason to believe he wasn't the biological father and signed the affidavit anyway. The court of appeals affirmed the trial court's decision.
Recently, the case was appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court. They issued an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, remanding the case to the Mecosta County trial court. Here's the text of the order: The Court stated that the Court of Appeals was wrong when it stated that signing the affidavit of parentage equated to fraud or misrepresentation, stating that under the Acknowledgment of Parentage Act, "an acknowledging father is not required to attest that he is the biological father."
I don't know where I stand on this yet; on one hand, the whole purpose of the affidavit is to establish who the father is, but no father can know with 100% certainty that he's the father of the child, right? Obviously, there is greater doubt in some situations than in others, but there's a strong interest in keeping families stable. It will be interesting to see how the cases regarding the Revocation of Paternity Act continue to play out.
Also, see my recently published article on the Revocation of Paternity Act in the February 2014 edition of the Michigan Bar Journal, Family Edition. See it here.

Frederic Remington (1861-1909)
Infantryman in Field Costume (The Infantryman), 1890
Story illustration for "General Crook in the Indian Country" by John G. Bourke, Captain, 3rd Cavalry, U. S. A., in Century Magazine v. 41, no. 5 (March 1891)
watercolor and gouache on illustration board
Collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT, Harriet Russell Stanley Fund (1952.16)*
Infantryman in Field Costume is an example of the artist's observant eye and talent for narrative art. It was made as one of twelve illustrations to accompany an article by Captain John G. Bourke of the 3rd Cavalry, U. S. A., published in Century Magazine. This illustration not only reflects Remington's long-standing interest in the military,** but his comprehensive knowledge of its culture. His knowledge and familiarity with the mores of military life came about as a result of his being "embedded" with the army on many of its campaigns during the Indian wars of the late nineteenth century. "No man," he wrote, "earns his wages half so hard as the soldier doing campaign work on the Southwestern frontier."*** By the time Infantryman in Field Costume was published, Remington had consolidated his reputation as an illustrator of life in the West, particularly U.S. Army life. In that year, in addition to Infantryman in Field Costume, Century Magazine published another 18 of his illustrations, Harper's Monthly, 36 and Harper's Weekly, 119 – all about the West and all in that single year. He became an enormous success in a very short time.
Like such artists and writers who depicted the West as Owen Wister, Theodore Roosevelt (both of whom became friends and whose books he illustrated), Charles Schreyvogel, Frank Schoonover, N.C. Wyeth and Mary Hallock Foote, Remington was an Easterner. He was born and raised in Canton and Ogdensburg, New York. His formal art training was minimal: two years at the Yale School of Fine Arts beginning in 1878, under John Henry Niemeyer and later in 1886, a brief stint at the Art Students League of New York.

As a painter / illustrator of Western and military subjects, his work is known for its high degree of realism and meticulous detail. The visual depiction of this foot soldier, from his campaign hat and bedroll to his well-worn boots, along with his equipment, or what Remington termed his "service trim," seems to be veracity itself. As a recorder of military life Remington is part of a strong Anglo-European tradition, in particular the work of the nineteenth century French artists Adolph de Neuville and Édouard Detaille by whom he was influenced. [See an example of Detaille's work below.] He had reproductions of their work in his studio files. Detaille has been called the semi-official artist of the French army. Similarly Frederic Remington could also be considered the semi-official artist of the American Frontier army.

However, Remington was also a writer and he affectionately describes the infantryman of his day as follows: " The infantryman in his brown canvas clothes has more the look of a navvy than the smart military character, and frequently a toe has worked through a shoe. . . . The villainous knives issued to the "doughboys" complete a sinister aspect. . . still, they have their use in the domestic affairs of the soldier while serving in place of the discarded bayonet. . . . A big tin cup flaps from its fastenings on the haversack." The haversack, which replaced the backpack, probably contained his mess kit, shaving gear and perhaps a minimal change of clothing. The ammunition belt replaced the ammunition box and the rifle was probably a breech-loading, single shot Springfield. Remington continues: "and the 'set 'of the pantaloons, tucked and wrinkled in the service boots, is far from fashionable."**** The use of the word discarded implies the continuing problem faced by the War Department in arming and clothing the Nation's Frontier Forces. Yet in the case of the image of Infantryman in Field Costume, Remington transcends description, going beyond realism and his meticulous detail to grasp character. Through his taut and wiry line he conveys his admiration for the soldier's dignity, pride and sense of professionalism.
* This illustration is inscribed, "U.S. Infantryman in service trim with compliments to J. S. Hartley." Jonathan Scott Hartley (1845-1912) was an American sculptor; a student of Erastus Dow Palmer; and the son-in-law of the painter George Inness. His most famous work is called The Whirlwind and was cast in 1896. Hartley and Remington were friends.
** Remington's father had organized a volunteer cavalry regiment during the Civil War and Remington had been a student at the Highland Military academy.
