I Hate Jill Zarin Real Housewives of Atlanta Preview Nov 1, 2010
Why would a network take their top rated series mid season
and move them to a different night? Top Networks will do that occasionally if they're trying to find an audience for a failing show and we know that typically Thursday nights have been reserved as
"Housewives Night" over at Bravo. Now that The Real Housewives of DC has concluded it may have made some sense to put the Atlanta Housewives in the 10pm Thursday night slot. Networks put some of their highest rated shows on Thursdays because that's where the ad dollars are the biggest.
Somewhere back in the 1950's Neilson told the networks that
consumers watched Thursday night commercials then got paid on Friday's and spent all their money on the products they saw on Thursday. All the highest rated shows were firmly planted on Thursday nights. Following suit, Bravo put The Real Housewives on Thursday nights and only because they were running two series at the same time did they utilize their Monday nights for a Housewives series.
If Bravo announced that they were moving The Real Housewives
of Atlanta to Thursday, it would have made some sense but they're moving RHOA to Sunday, a day that historically Bravo used to re-run old NBC shows like Law and Order or House. We've never seen any original programming on Sunday nights on Bravo. The competition is too much for our little young Bravo. I have to assume that the audience for Real Housewives series and shows like Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters is a similar demographic. Does Bravo think they've got a fighting chance against ABC's Sunday lineup? Are they gambling that people will miss their Desperate to watch The Real?
With so many people owning DVR's and TiVo it is probably not
a really big deal for the viewer, and let's face it, Bravo re-runs everything so many times that if you miss the original run you will have plenty of other opportunities to catch a re-run but why are they doing this?
Some people on Twitter are speculating that they're trying to sabotage their number one show:
ATL: Secretly think network wants to kill this show. These new HW's are not as crazy as others that wanted in.
More tweets from the same source who claims to be a Bravo Insider:
ATL: We did test shoot at socialite's house that she paid 13 mil for!
Also, had pet leopard. Really fun jet setter with real money. Aww well
ATL: Disappointed they did not show full freak out with Ms.New Nose and her son. He screamed, "So what! I did it, so what!" hilarious.
ATL: Check me boo will find love this season! At least, briefly. 😉 She also will face legal issues about her line (always sign the checks).
ATL: Of course, new nose and lawyer have major run in where nose calls her a "liar, bitch, no good tramp, and boring." Last one is worst…
Again, please note that this person "claims" to be a Bravo insider.
The Bravo blogs are posted for the Atlanta ladies and Kim wanted to clear something up, <giggle>
TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP: I did NOT say I was, "With Big
Poppa," I said, "Big Poppa is back in my life," meaning we reconnected once again as friends. We weren't speaking for months prior to that, and I really missed our friendship.
Thanks for clearing that up Kim, I guess you slept in his guest bedroom when you and your daughters spent the weekend at his house swimming and lounging by the pool. Remember, they're JUST friends!
Kim continues to insist that she paid Kandi for her part in Tardy For The Party and while Kandi admits that she received a small dollar amount, she did not get what a typical writer/producer/auto-tune specialist would get for a single that raked in over $100,000. Kandi explains:
Now on to the money part. I hardly got anything from "Tardy For The Party." That is the truth. I am not mad about it. I really blame myself, because I didn't handle my business correctly. The back story is that when we first did the song, I had Vito (the producer that helped me with the music) talk to Kim about how we would get paid. I didn't want to have that discussion with her because sometimes doing business can make a friendship uncomfortable. We had already signed a publishing split sheet that split the publishing (writer's royalty) equally between myself, Vito, her daughter, and Ed (the guy who wrote the country version). I totally wrote the version that everyone knows and is for sale all
by myself, but since I took the title "Tardy For The Party" from the
country version Kim originally had, I wanted to be fair and give Kim's daughter and Ed something. Okay, I hope y'all are following me.
When Vito talked to Kim the agreement was supposed to be
that we were just going to split all the royalties from the song (not just the publishing royalties) equally. Mind you I wrote it, pulled in the people to get the music done, gave her free studio time, produced her vocals, etc. with no upfront fee. So I thought, "Cool, we can split the royalties equally, and it's all good." I didn't know if the song was going to make money or not, so I definitely didn't want to charge her all this money upfront not knowing if she would make any. As a friend I wouldn't do that. If it's just business
I don't care, but it wasn't just business.
So when the money first came in, Kim gave me a check of a third of the money she had received at that point. Everything was cool, but then she came back to me a week later saying she was all upset because her attorney said she shouldn't have to pay me on the overall royalties, and that she should just pay me on part of the publishing royalties. She asked me for her money back. It kind of came off like she felt I was taking advantage of her. So it irritated me. Mind you, even though Kim and Vito verbally agreed to splitting all royalties, we never put that in writing. So I just gave her the money back. She gave me a much smaller check that her lawyer said I should receive, and I never got another check. Period. Even though the song has gained more royalties since then, and another dance version was released that I never received a publishing check from.
As a writer you're supposed to get paid evertyime that song is played on radio and TV. Since I'm on this show, I allowed Real
Housewives of Atlanta to play the song for free so that she could fully benefit off of the song getting played multiple times on our show. She doesn't have a major label pushing her song to radio, so she doesn't get the same airplay an artist that is on a major label gets. That's why I said, "If I would have given this song to another artist, I could have made way more money." Meaning I would have gotten royalties off of record sales, licensing fees from TV, radio airplay royalties, and I would have charged them a fee upfront. But it's ok, I am not mad. I will write many more songs that I can do that on. Kim just went along with what her lawyer said, which is what you should do in most cases. I should've put what our agreement was in writing from the beginning so there
wouldn't be any confusion. This situation in no way makes me have ill feelings towards Kim. The money won't make or break our bond. I just know going forward we have to treat business as business and friendship as friendship.
I think Kandi may just be the most reasonable of all the Housewives, I doubt too many others would have handled it this way but I have to also give her kudos for explaining it in detail to fans. Kim just keeps saying that she paid Kandi and based on Kandi's explanation, she did give her "some" money but not nearly what she should have given her. Kim really should have ensured that Kandi got her fair share, we all know that song wouldn't have been recorded at all without Kandi. As Kandi said, there was nothing in writing and she realizes it was her own fault for not putting anything in writing but Kim should have done the right thing regardless of what her attorney recommended.
Phaedra Parks blog is a waste of space, she goes on about empowering women and her education and even lists women in
history who have made a name for themselves with hard work and tenacity. Thanks for the history lesson Phaedra, how about explaining your insane baby shower? Your comments about turning away gift – bearing guests if they're late for your baby shower? I really wanted to see Kim turned away, just snatch that gift and send her on her way. Now that would have made for outstanding television!
Phaedra likes to preach her accomplishments and her well-bred southern upbringing, let's just see the results, you can say it all day long but actions speak louder than words. Phaedra is cut from the same cloth as Kelly Bensimon who tells us she's authentic, real and charitable. No evidence of that to date.
Reports have surfaced that Sheree's Doctor friend is not really a doctor, did anyone really ever think that he was a doctor? Sheree just barely mentions this guy in last week's blog calling him simply her "blind date" but nothing more. She most likely already
knew the truth about him before the first episode aired and stopped seeing him months ago.
Sheree is great about tweeting during the episode, she answers a lot of fan tweets and has really become more interesting to people this season. She was a caricature last season with all of her loving herself and self-indulgent parties for herself, I have a feeling she watched herself last season and did not like what she saw. She certainly has changed, we'll still have to monitor her behavior closely.
I really like Cynthia Bailey, she has a great sense of humor and isn't afraid to say what she thinks. There is no new-girl syndrome here, her blog of the top 20 hysterical moments of the episode were priceless! As we know she is going to accept her man's proposal soon and begin to plan her wedding, hopefully that means more on screen time for this beautiful lady.
NeNe has not posted a blog for last week's episode as of now, I imagine she's way too busy filming The Celebrity Apprentice to bother with her blog. I don't think we'll see too many more blogs from NeNe this season. She did mention that the previous week's
episode was boring for her, she even fell asleep watching it, do you suppose it was because she only had a few short scenes in that one?
There are two previews posted on Bravotv.com for tonight's episode, you can view them here:
The first one called "Things are not adding up" is hysterical, the comments about Phaedra's pregnancy and due date are not to be missed!
Bravo is also promoting Kandi's new album drop so she must be giving up some of the proceeds to the network. Poor Kandi, she just can't catch a break!
Andy Cohen will be feeding his ego with an episode of Watch What Happens Live tonight featuring Kandi Burress.
They've also posted more time with Lisa and Nate from last week's episode:
Until Next Time….

A major programme of works, designed to improve the layout and facilities of the visitor pontoons along Berths 4 & 5 at Albert Pier, St Helier continues to make great progress.
The £3 million project – which is scheduled to reach completion in April 2015 – comprises the construction of a new direct access bridge for pedestrians, together with the replacement of pontoons along the length of the berths. In addition, the project is also providing an improved birthing arrangement facility for both the RNLI and commercial operators, including South Coast Cruises.
The Albert Pier project is being funded by the Ports of Jersey trading fund and is being carried out by local contractors Geomarine, with Marina Projects Ltd overseeing the scheme as project managers.
The scope of work undertaken by Marina Project Ltd has included a detailed consultation with all key stakeholders and harbour users. During this consultation, Marina Projects Ltd delivered a comprehensive business case analysis to support the application to the Ports of Jersey Executive Team and ultimately to secure Ministerial political approval.
Simon Goodhead of Marina Projects, said:
"Berths 4 & 5 are a linear length of pontoon, in the order of approximately 140m in length. In its physical presence it is quite modest, but when you understand what the berths are used for they are intrinsic to the operation of St Helier Harbour.
"As the two largest marinas on the island are tightly locked, Berths 4 & 5 are used as a waiting pontoon for visiting yachtsman as well as for use by a commercial vessel and as an access route to the RNLI facility. The project is the backbone of the harbour."
Some significant changes can now be seen in St Helier Harbour; not least the removal of the old link-span bridge. The removal of the bridge structure highlights the potential for additional berthing facilities in the future and is in line with the long-term aspiration of Jersey Marinas to continually improve the services and facilities offered to its customers.
As well as the removal of the existing bridge, Geomarine has successfully completed the installation of 11 rock socketed piles, ready for the subsequent installation of new pontoon equipment. Repairs to St Helier Marina wind wall and impoundment wall are also well underway and continue to be managed closely to mitigate any potential impact or disruption to both harbour users and nearby residents.
Simon said:
"The biggest risk element of the project was the piling works. This aspect of the scheme involved a specialist piling contractor coming from the UK to rock socket the piles. Following the successful installation of the piles we have been able to work towards our goal of completing this project on time and within budget."
Simon added:
"To oversee this project is fantastic. Marina Projects Ltd has been working with the Ports of Jersey since 2009 and by mid-April we will have seen this project progress from its infancy through to completion. Being part of this project is simply great – this project is just one of what will hopefully be a succession of projects to continually enhance and develop the marina and port business."

Make an investment in our future by supporting our school and the teachers and students they serve so they can be the best they can be. Summitt Elementary School serves more than 800students in North Austin and is part of the Austin Independent School System. Graduates of our school typically attend Murchison Middle School and later on Anderson High School.
Summitt Elementary is a diverse school with more than 20 different languages spoken in students' homes. More than one-third of our school population is economically disadvantaged and a similar number are English language learners. These students in particular require extra help, and funding from our school district and the state does not meet all the needs our students have. Therefore, tutoring, technology education, and other enrichment programs fall to our parents, teachers, and community to close the gap to meet all of our students' needs so they can all be successful.

Recent reviews
Superb 9.0 From 1,956 reviews
it was comfortable
Apparently formerly known as Club Quarters, this small hotel was a little tough to find. Nice staff at tiny reception area. Bed was good, nice bath. Interesting way to dispense water (had a filter system with empty bottles - DIY). Good wifi. My room certainly did not face Rock Center, but super close if that's what you want. I chose for closeness to conference and great rate.
The Jewel was clean, quiet and located near subways. The staff was there to support with check in and provided information about the amenities -spot for breakfast, water stations, etc. Have stayed there before on business and will do so again based on location, amenities, cleanliness, and value.
I would definitely recommend it! We are so happy we found our new spot!
Awesome!! Best view I've had so far in any hotel in NYC!! Room was big and the free water was nice. I will definitely stay here again. Close walk to everything.
Very good and kind people. Very clean and nice. Highly recommended
Great location and value. Room was modern and clean. Entryway was simple but still felt safe.
It was expected.
The Jewel is like finding a Diamond in the heart of NYC. A perfect location and great hotel.
I would recommend The Jewel hotel. It is a very convenient location.

ACMA fast-tracks replanning for 26GHz band
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has fast-tracked work on the 26GHz band and released an options paper in September 2018.
The ACMA is seeking feedback on:
- what should be allocated, in terms of specific frequencies and proposed geographic license areas; and
- how the band should be allocated, in terms of which licence types should be adopted in the band to meet a range of potentially varying wireless broadband use cases.
The ACMA is also convening a working group of interested stakeholders to consider the issue associated with frequency boundaries and associated coexistence, which will run in parallel with the consultation period for the options paper.
The working group is due to deliver its report on or before 24 October 2018. Submissions to the options paper are due on 2 November 2018.
Parliamentary Committee sets public hearing date for Assistance and Access Bill
The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security held public hearings for the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Bill 2018 (Assistance and Access Bill) on 19 October 2018. Further public hearings will be scheduled for late October or early November 2018.
The Assistance and Access Bill was introduced into Parliament on 20 September 2018 and referred to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (the Committee) for inquiry and report. Submissions to the Assistance and Access Bill closed on 12 October 2018.

ACMA rules regarding NBN compliance now in force
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) rules regarding NBN compliance took effect from 21 September 2018. It requires, amongst other rules, that NBN Co's consumer information standard ensure consumers are given all the necessary information to make informed choices about the NBN service and plan that is right for them.
The rules are directly enforceable by the ACMA and, where breaches are found, allow it to commence court proceedings seeking remedies such as injunctions and civil penalties of up to $10 million.
"Formal investigations into a number of providers are ongoing and we will publish a report on these once finalised," ACMA Chair Nerida O'Loughlin said.
TSSR comes into effect
The Telecommunications Sector Security Reforms (TSSR) took effect from 18 September 2018.
The TSSR compels carriers and nominated carriage service providers to notify government of proposed changes that could compromise the security of networks and systems, including a requirement to maintain 'competent supervision' and 'effective control' over telecommunications networks and facilities owned or operated by them.
"The Reforms create new security obligations for all carriers, carriage service providers and carriage service intermediaries providing services in Australia," said the Department of Home Affairs' Telecommunications Security Section Critical Infrastructure Centre in a brief note.
ACMA imposes large penalty for do not call infringement<
Telemarketing company Lead My Way has paid an infringement notice of $285,600 after the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation found that the business made telemarketing calls to numbers on the Do Not Call Register.
Lead My Way makes 'lead generation' telemarketing calls to consumers to gauge their interest in products and services, such as electricity, and then on-sells personal details as marketing 'leads'. The business was found to have made telemarketing calls to numbers on the Do Not Call Register and had failed to check all numbers it called against the register.
"Lead generators are on notice that the ACMA will take strong action against telemarketers that break the rules," ACMA acting chair Creina Chapman said.
Aussie Broadband removes marketing claims following ACCC ruling
National Broadband Network (NBN) provider Aussie Broadband has removed broadband marketing claims following an administrative ruling from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
Since July 2017, Aussie Broadband claimed that it offered a "congestion free NBN" and a "congestion-free network" across several platforms such as its website, Facebook, targeted emails and direct mail-out letters.
"We were concerned that Aussie Broadband's statements might lead consumers to believe that Aussie Broadband's services would not ever experience congestion, when that was not the case," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.
Further information is available here.
ACCC accepts a voluntary undertaking from NBN Co
On 11 September 2018, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) accepted a court enforceable voluntary undertaking from NBN Co to improve its wholesale arrangements with retail service providers within three months.
NBN Co has undertaken to pay retail service providers $25 for every missed appointment, late connection or fault rectification. The undertaking is part of the ACCC's inquiry into NBN wholesale service standards which was announced in late 2017 to determine whether the standards are appropriate and necessary in improving customer experiences.
"The undertaking will improve the rebates that NBN Co pays to retail service providers for not meeting its service level timeframes for connections, fixing faults and meeting scheduled appointments," ACCC chair Rod Sims said.
Further information is available here.

- TURF PLANNING Use drought-tolerant turf species, and reduce the areas it will cover to only functional and visually appealing areas.
- PLANT SELECTION AND PLACEMENT Use drought-resistant plants adapted to Oklahoma to decrease water usage. Generally these plants have small, thick, glossy or fuzzy leaves. Plants with similar watering needs should be grouped together to increase water efficiency.
- MULCH COVER Use mulch to help retain soil moisture, prevent erosion and control weeds. Mulch should be 2-3 inches thick and occasionally reapplied.
- IRRIGATION Avoid overwatering by employing soaker hoses and drip irrigation systems for optimum efficiency. Rule of thumb: water deeply and less frequently.
- MAINTAINING THE LANDSCAPE Keep weeds at bay by using mulch. Don't mow too low! Raising your mowing level can help retain moisture in your lawn.

RSA buys Securant
Security firm RSA has bought authentication specialist Securant.
RSA Security has announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Securant Technologies, a privately held company that develops ClearTrust authorisation software, for US$136.5 million.
"Authorisation has always been part of RSA Security?s mission to enable secure e-business by ensuring the authenticity of people, devices and transactions," said Art Coviello, CEO and president at RSA Security. "This acquisition will help us fulfill that mission. We started with RSA SecurID authentication solutions to help organisations ensure the identity of users. We are adding the ClearTrust authorisation solution to enable organisations to control what those users see or do once they have been authenticated."
Research firm IDC says Web-based authorisation market segment is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of nearly 70 percent over the next four years. RSA, counting on immediate revenues from the Securant acquisition, says this increase is being driven by organisations that need to both expand the number and types of users who can access their networks, applications and Web sites, and at the same time, consolidate Web sites under a comprehensive portal management system.

Back at the end of January HTC said that in 2012 they were going to focus on the quality of their phones and not the quantity of their devices. Apparently, they aren't going to waste much effort thinking of names for their quality phones either. At Mobile World Congress today HTC announced a lineup of three new phones, all branded under the HTC One umbrella, and all three phones are solid, no, quality devices. First up was is the new HTC One V, the low end. Every news site that is live at MWC is calling this the low end, and it is, but on paper it still seems like it's going to be a quality device. Bringing back the Android chin at the bottom, the One V is a 3.7" single core 1GHz powered device with an anemic 512MB of RAM and 8GB of storage, but will have a few other goodies that make this phone attractive.
First, it's going to ship with Ice Cream Sandwich, not Gingerbread. Second, it's going to include both Beats Audio and the HTC Imagechip for improved image processing. All of this somewhat restrained goodness packed into an aluminum unibody design.
Next up on the HTC One list is the middle of the road One S, and it's a pretty nice upgrade. The One S carries a 4.3" Super AMOLED display and is touted as HTC's thinnest device ever, coming in at 7.6mm thin. The One S offers the same ICS, Beats Audio and HTC Imagechip, but swaps in a 1.5GHz dual core chip and 1GB of RAM with 16GB of storage wrapped in it's aluminum unibody outer shell.
The 8MP rear camera is the same one that is packed into the One X that we'll talk about in a minute, but it offers .7 second startup times and an unbelievable .2 second focus time. While some are claiming that the One S breaks from the dated and tired HTC design style, it kind of looks like the same old same old to me, just an awful lot thinner.
Last, we find the new HTC One X, the next flagship device in the HTC fleet. Pump up the One S to a 4.7" Super LCD display, sub in a quad core Tegra 3 chip and add NFC and 32GB of RAM and you have the One X. Available in black or white, the One X will be made of a new polycarbonate material that HTC claims is totally new to them.
Again, it has the same rounded edge appearance that HTC has been selling for a while, but the design looks to be fresh and clean based on what HTC chose to leave out. All three of these devices will ship with Sense 4 that has been described as a slimmed down, much less intrusive overlay that feels snappy and looks good. There's also the added benefit of 25GB of free Dropbox storage for 2 years for each One device.
The devil, as they say, is in the details and these phones will be notable as much for what they lack as what they include. Gone are the days of SD cards and removable batteries as these devices won't have either. They also will use the newer micro SIM card, which I see as a positive but many will see as a limiting factor.
There's a lot to the new HTC lineup and over the next few days and we'll update our info as soon as the full specs for each device are made public. HTC stumbled through 2011, here's to hoping that the new One line of devices helps them to regain their footing in 2012. As a start to the newer quality over quantity HTC I'm hopeful that they stick to that pledge and don't run out of letters in the alphabet as the year wears on. I'd hate for next year's models to be the HTC Two.

I'm not sure whether Sir Alan Sugar has to cope with what I deal with and if he is a Sir, then I must be worthy of a Lordy thingy. Let me explain why.
A few months ago, Doreen joined Templeton's Hardware from the local library to work alongside PC Tucknott. Her initial hours were to cover Tucknott's absence as he cleared through his community service order (300 hours) for the Scout in a headlock incident. But I have kept her on since as more women come into the shop now and the sales of Marigold Gloves have risen 50%.
Tucknott and Doreen knew each other before she joined the ranks In fact I'm led to believe that Doreen used to baby sit for Tucknott when he was a youngster. She is certainly quick to remind him of the fact when they have an argument; asking him whether he still sleeps with "Mr Fluff" – I haven't asked.
When Doreen started work, I made some changes to make her feel welcome. I made sure our little kitchen area was clean and I added some limited edition East Yorkshire Pansies to the window sills to add a bit of colour, which I know ladies like. I sprayed the staff area with "Lavender Mist" and added a small radio which I tuned to Radio 2. I had done well. In one further gesture I changed the toilet seat, which to be honest had taken on a jaundiced yellow appearance in patches and I added a lock to the toilet door.
But the toilet seems to have caused issues from Day One. For obvious reasons Tucknott and myself have become conditionally trained to leave the toilet seat in an upright position. I have never felt comfortable doing No 2's at work – I think that's a carry-over from my schooldays, but I am over that now. In fact, when Doreen started and I changed the toilet seat, I found it was stuck rigid in its erect position anyway.
Doreen complained about the new toilet seat being left upright. Tucknott and I ignored her to start with, but Doreen then started to shout as she left the little room oblivious to whether we had customers in the shop or not.
"Someone's left the toilet seat up!" she would shout. "Derek, we need to talk about why the toilet seat is being left up. It's discriminatory."
I told Tucknott that we ought to make an effort to lower the seat after our visits.
Tucknott heard the bit about the need for the toilet seat being down, but ignored the bit about lifting it in the first place. The next day I was in the middle of handing Terry Brevitt his change for three door locks when Doreen stormed out of the toilet.
"Someone's wet on the toilet seat, Derek." I froze. "Would the person responsible for wetting the toilet seat please come now and clear it up. I'm waiting !"
"Tucknott !" I hollered. "Go and clear that up now and then wash your hands."
He dropped his head and sloped off to see Doreen.
Doreen returned on the Friday after two days off and the morning started quietly. But a storm was brewing: Tucknott was biding his time and announced that he was off to the toilet. There was a pause and then he stormed out of the toilet.
"Doreen's pissed all over the toilet seat !" he shouted.
"Tucknott ! Unacceptable language in my shop !" I checked around for customers. There were none.
"Doreen, have you pissed all over the toilet seat ?" I couldn't believe what I was asking 48 year-old Mum of two.
"She has, T !" added Tucknott. "It's disgusting in here, tell her to wipe it up."
"I'm going on my lunch, Mr Templeton," announced Doreen. "This is ridiculous."
I was left with no option but to don the Marigolds and clean it up myself.
"Right, Tucknott," I said. "Its clean in there now, you can go to the toilet."
"I don't need to now," he said.

I wrote this article on the winter of 1962/1963 a couple of years ago for IWO, but I think, since we are coming up to the 50th anniversary of this great winter, that it might be worth putting up on here for anyone who might have an interest in reading an account of the daily weather in Ireland during this infamous season.
Weatherwise, the 1960's was the decade to experience going by the records. Though it was generally cool statistically speaking, it was also a decade that saw some extreme weather events such as the winter 1962/63; 'Hurricane Debbie' in 1961; thundery summers with some severe events such as the 'Mount Merrion thunderstorm' on the 11th June 1963; windstorms; record breaking low temps etc etc. Anyway, I digress. Enjoy
Winter 1962/1963
1st – 17th December 1962:
The opening days of December 1962 started calm and relatively mild, if foggy at times. By the end of the first week, however, it became increasingly stormy and wet with only the occasional brief incursion of cooler Polar air masses Mean temperatures for the period were near normal overall with winds mainly from south-west or west.
18th – 24th December 1962:
December 18th 1962 was a typically bright, fresh and breezy day with a few light showers drifting onto the west and north coasts. Unbeknownst to the nation however, a dramatic rise in mean sea level pressure (MSLP) over the cold plains of western Russia was being observed as an Arctic ridge of High Pressure began to extend down into North-Eastern Europe reaching 1030 hPa by the 20th.
Ireland, however, continued to enjoy its usual Atlantic weather with occasional bands of rain and showers crossing over in south-west to west winds which were quite fresh at times. Temperatures on the 20th rose above 10.0c with 11.7c being the max reading at Valentia Observatory, Co. Kerry; MSLP values averaged around 1005mb over the country. By evening, pressure began to rise from the south as a ridge moved in from the south-west.
MSLP values continued to rise overnight so that by the morning of the 21st, pressure readings over 1020.0hPa were being recorded across the country. Meanwhile, a cut off anticyclone was developing over Eastern Europe while the Azores ridge continued to surge north-eastwards to eventually amalgamate itself with the high pressure zone in Eastern Europe by the 23rd. Winds at this stage had backed to the SE over Ireland bringing in cooler, drier air from the near continent. Temperatures were beginning to drop and by the 24th, mean maxima hovered between 3c to 7c, with night-time frosts.
Over Europe, cold air from Russia was being fed westwards by the intense anticyclone that had developed in eastern Europe and as a result, snow and freezing temperatures became a problem over parts of the continent.
In France, 10 people died on Christmas day alone due to the intense cold while heavy snow caused much disruption for both locals and tourists in Perthus, close to the Spanish border. In Portugal, temperatures fell as low as -15.0c by night which barely rose above freezing by day. Switzerland was virtually cut off while it was noted that ice was forming in some coastal inlets around the Danish coast.
25th – 31st December 1962:
Christmas Day 1962 was a mostly cloudy day with some fog as a strong ridge of high pressure continued to hover over the country. By evening, a few snow flurries had drifted onto the east coast giving an 'official' white Christmas in some places but no disruption was reported. By early morning 26th, temperatures fell to -5.0c in some inland spots as skies cleared. Meanwhile, the strong anticyclone which had formed over NE Europe over the previous days was beginning to collapse rapidly while surface pressure began to increase to the north-west of Ireland with a cold, polar airstream bearing down over Ireland bringing an increased frequency in wintry showers along eastern coastal areas and by the 28th, there was a fairly widespread covering of snow parts of Leinster and Ulster.
On the 29th, winds increased from an easterly direction as pressure began to fall to the south-east, but it was a mainly dry, if cloudy day overall apart from a few coastal wintry showers. By evening, a deep low had begun to form in the Bay of Biscay as pressure continued to rise to the north-west of Ireland which had the effect of increasing the pressure gradient over Ireland markedly with winds increasing to gale force as a result, especially in eastern areas.
On the 30th, an occluded front crossed over the country bringing gale force easterly winds and heavy falls of snow to eastern and southern areas in particular. Blizzard conditions were reported over parts of Wicklow, Wexford, Cork, Waterford, Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Louth with drifts of up to 15 Feet recorded over the higher grounds of both Wicklow and Wexford. Sustained wind speeds remained unusually high for a good part of the day with gusts of up to 70mph being recorded at Rosslare. Many rural villages, especially those on higher ground, were cut off by the severe weather. In contrast, many parts of the west and north escaped with little or no snowfall although it was very cold and windy in these areas also.
Heavy and persistent snow showers continued to cause problems in the south and east on the 31st although winds eased, if only a little, during the day.
January 1963:
1st to 8th January 1963:
Many areas, especially in higher part of the east, were still cut off by the snowfalls in late December. On the 1st, strong easterly winds continued to push sleet & snow showers into Leinster and Munster especially. Max temperatures struggled to rise much above freezing although with the strength of the wind, minima was not especially low. There was, however, a considerable wind chill with winds gusting to gale force at times, especially near east coasts.
On the 2nd, strong easterly winds continued to buffet the country as a low pressure centre to the south of Ireland moved up against rising pressure to the north of Scotland. An occluded frontal feature lay near the south coast bringing cloudy weather with some light but persistent outbreaks of sleet and snow to Munster & South Leinster which hampered efforts to make roads passable in rural locations. Max temperature at Phoenix Park only reached 1.7c with 1.4c being the top reading at Birr. Again, the strength of wind prevented temperatures falling too low overnight.
The 3rd January saw no relent in the strong easterly winds as low pressure to the south of Ireland moved only slowly into the near continent. Snow showers continued to fall in counties Wicklow, Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Tipperary, Limerick, Kildare and Kilkenny which added to the already significant accumulations in these areas which further isolated rural areas. In Europe, it was reported that at least 500 people had died due to the intense cold that had set in during late December.
The 4th saw a general improvement over the hardest hit areas, with the frequency of sleet and snow showers considerably reduced as the low pressure over northern Europe began to fill resulting in much lighter winds over the country. Although some light showers of rain, sleet and snow were reported in parts of the south-east, there were no further accumulations which allowed operations to clear roads to continue uninterrupted. Maxima generally between 1.0c and 4.0c over the country on this day with no significant low minima reported. Some light showers continued on the 5th and 6th with some longer outbreaks of rain and sleet in the south later on the 6th but in general, conditions continued to improve over the country although temperatures by day remained on the cool side of average.
By the 7th, easterly winds were beginning to increase significantly once again. This had the effect of giving a considerable wind chill as daytime temperatures struggled to reach above 3.0c in many areas. Gale gusts were reported in many eastern coastal areas with occasional rain, sleet and snow showers in these parts. On the 8th, an occluded frontal feature approached the south-west as winds veered to the south-east and continued strong over the country with precipitation falling mainly as rain and sleet, with some snow on high ground. Max temperatures were still cold for the time of year ranging between 1.0c inland and to the west and 4.0c to 6.0c near south and east coasts allowing the slow thaw to continue.
January 9th - 18th 1963
January 9th was another cold, windy day with max temperatures averaging around 3.0c over the country. A deepening depression to the south-west of Ireland began to intensify as another strong ridge of high pressure was beginning to extend down over Scotland from a primary anticyclone over Iceland keeping the isobaric gradient tight over Ireland. Winds gusted to gale force over much of the country with high seas and some coastal flooding reported along some eastern coastal areas but wintry showers remained isolated and light in nature. Mean minima feel close to 0.0c during the evening but the strong winds prevented any significant frost developing.
The 10th and 11th January continued cold and windy with a few isolated wintry showers near northern and eastern coasts. Temps ranged between 2.0c and 4.0c by day and by -4.0c to 2.0c by night. Strong easterly winds once again prevented minima falling too significantly.
The period 15th - 17th saw winds finally easing as an intense ridge of high pressure to the north moved down over Ireland. The consequence of this was lower temperatures across the country. In parts of the midlands and west, daytime maxima struggled to reach 0.0c while night-time minima fell to their lowest levels of the entire winter period. On the 13th, minima fell to below -8.0c in many locations with the lowest temperature of the season, -11.6c, being recorded in Birr in Co. Offaly.
The 18th January saw easterly winds increasing over the country once again which gusted to gale force along eastern and southern coasts. Light snow showers affected midland & eastern areas. Daytime temps averaged around 3.0c over the country but coupled with the strength of the east wind, it felt much colder. On the 19th, the intense anticyclone to the north or Ireland moved a little further north which destabilised the strong easterly airflow over Ireland a little. Snow showers continued to feed into eastern areas as a sharp frost developed widely by nightfall despite the strong winds.
By the 20th, heavy and persistent snow showers affected much of the country with temperatures only just above freezing point. In counties Cork and Waterford, 6 feet drifts were reported as wind driven snow persisted. In Roscommon, a foot of snow fell during the afternoon while in Donegal, a blizzard raged for many hours. The east midlands were particularly badly hit with roads around the Mullingar region made impassable by heavy snowfalls. Snow showers continued into the evening and night and despite the strong easterly winds, temperatures fell to between -4.0c and -6.0c inland giving a penetrating frost.
The period 22nd-29th was relatively calm and very sunny as a strong Anticyclone settled over the country. It remained very cold with daytime temperatures averaging around 2.0c to 4.0c with a rise toward near normal values later in the period spurring on a slow thaw, although night time minima fell close to -10.0c in parts of the east. Dense fog was also a problem at times. Later on the 29th, weak frontal troughs to the north began to move towards Ireland.
January 30th saw a band of light rain with relatively mild temperatures move down over the country in a light to moderate NW wind. Once the rain cleared, winds increased and quickly turned to the north-east along with falling temperatures. This brought a renewed surge of sleet and snow showers to northern and eastern coastal districts. On the 31st, sleet and snow showers continued in some eastern areas before filtering further westwards into parts of Munster and Connacht and as a result, snow was lying over a wide area by nightfall. It became frosty again despite an increasingly strong east wind.
Monthly Mean Sea Level Pressure for January 1963:
Data from ERA 40/ECMWF
February 1963:
1st-7th Febraruy 1963:
On the 1st and 2nd February, Mean Sea Level Pressure values remained very high to the north-west of Ireland while as values began to fall over central and southern Europe. Moderate to fresh easterly winds continued over Ireland but apart from a some coastal sleet and snow showers in eastern coastal counties, which were persistent enough to give renewed accumulations on high ground, it was generally dry if cold. Daytime temperatures averaged 2.0c to 4.0c while nights continued very cold and frosty with values ranging between 1.0c and -5.0c.
On the 3rd, a weak cold front moved down over the country from the north giving some light outbreaks of freezing rain, sleet and snow which resulted in very dangerous driving conditions across the country. Winds backed to the north-east and remained moderate to fresh. This did not prevent a hard frost setting in after dark with -8.7c being recorded at Birr.
The 4th saw sleet and snow showers becoming widespread as a vigorous polar depression moved down along the west coast. Winds increased further causing considerable hardship especially to those living on higher ground. Parts of Wicklow, Kilkenny, Kildare, Waterford, Offaly, Limerick and Galway were the worst hit areas and although temperatures did rise above freezing point during the day, a hard frost quickly set in after dark once again.
The period 5th-7th February saw temperatures rising a little as a deep depression anchored itself near the south-west coast. Although there was some sleet and snow reported in northern most areas, with some heavy falls with blizzard conditions on the 6th, most of the precipitation fell as rain which, coupled with the gradual return to milder temperatures, helped to initiate a general thaw over the country. Winds were strong at first but slackened later in the period. Frost, however, still occurred by night inland which made conditions dangerous for driving and other outdoor activities.
7th - 15th February 1963:
By the 8th, milder weather had become well established over the country with daytime temperatures averaging around 8.0c or 9.0c. Valentia Observatory recorded 9.8c during the afternoon. Bands of heavy rain and showers moved up over the country from the south-west with thunder reported in some southern and western areas. However, by the 9th, a ridge of high pressure was beginning to intensify over Scandinavia and by the 10th, a strong, cold easterly wind became established once again as the low pressure which brought the milder weather to Ireland began to slip south and fill. Rain, which continued in southern most counties, gradually turned to sleet, especially on higher ground.
Both the 11th & 12th February were cool, cloudy days overall but strong east winds had eased a good deal. Some isolated light sleet and snow flurries along the east coast at times but dry weather predominated. Max temperature at Birr only reached 0.8c on the 11th and 2.0c to 4.0c over the rest of the country. However, cloud cover prevented min temperatures falling too low by night.
On the 13th, winds veered to the southwest as Atlantic fronts edged in from the west bringing with them much milder air and heavy rain, which fell as sleet and snow for a time as they pushed north-eastwards. Maxima averaged between 7.0c and 8.0c over the country with 9.4c reported at Valentia Observatory. Mild weather prevailed on the 14th & 15h with flooding reported due to melting snow causing significant problems in the north especially.
16th-20th February 1963:
This milder weather did not last, and by the 16th, winds had backed to the east once again as low pressure in the Atlantic was forced southwards but by a strengthening upper ridge south of Greenland. Weak frontal troughs off the south coast brought rain at first which turned increasingly to sleet and hill snow as temperatures started to drop once again. Average maxima ranged from 3.0c in the north to 6.0c in the south. Winds were moderate easterly but cloud prevented frost forming after dark.
The period 17th and 19th continued in the same vain. Weak frontal features near the south and south-west coasts brought a little rain, sleet and snow at times, particularly near south and east coasts but generally the weather was dry if cloudy. Fresh, and at times strong, east to south-east winds predominated making the average max of 4.0c and average min of -2.0c feel particularly cold and raw.
20th- 28th February 1963:
The period 20th to 23rd of February saw winds easing a good deal as a weak ridge of high pressure moved closer to Ireland from the north-west. Still a few sleet and snow flurries near eastern and northern coasts at first but dry and mostly sunny weather prevailed. Daytime temperatures reached near normal values but night time frosts became increasingly severe.
On the 24th, it became increasingly hazy as winds backed to the south-east and strengthened a little as the ridge of high pressure moved in over the continent. A good deal of cloud overall as weak fronts hovered near the south-west coast but it remained dry. Daytime temperatures fell back to an average of 6.0c but frosts became less of a problem. Little change on the 25th apart from some patchy light rain in western coastal counties as winds increased even further.
The period 26th-28th saw dry, breezy weather predominate as an intense anticyclone became slow moving over northern Europe drawing in a continental east to south-east wind over Ireland. A good deal of cloud overall but temperatures recovered once again to near normal with any frosts being light and patchy at best.
March 1963:
Although the cold spell did not end until the middle of March, the severity of it eased a good deal as a gradual return to a more normal Atlantic weather regime took place.

|Cops raid Bersih office
|Thursday, 30 June 2011 21:11
PETALING JAYA: Police raided the Bersih secretariat in Section 4 in relation to the July 9 rally.
It is learnt that several policemen were seen at the single-storey house in Jalan 4/48E around noon. They demanded to be allowed into the premises.
"They did not provide any search warrant and warned that they would break open the gates if it was not opened," lawyer Lateefa Koya said.
She said the raid was led by an ACP Rosli and the policemen inspected all the rooms in the office.
There were six staff members and volunteers in the house and police recorded their statements.
Lateefa said the police were investigating the matter under Section 27(5) of the Police Act and the Printing and Presses Publication Act.
"They seized several items including leaflets and paraphernalia that was meant for the Bersih rally," she said.
Selangor police chief Deputy Commissioner Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah confirmed the raid.
"We received information that the premises was conducting illegal activities. So we raided the premises," he said.
He revealed that the police found hundreds of Bersih T-shirts and Bersih logos and emblems.
He said the police were investigating the matter under Section 50(3) of the Societies Act as they learnt the premises was not registered. They would refer to the Registrar of Societies for further action.
Meanwhile, car stickers displaying the Bersih 2.0 logo and carrying messages calling for the overthrow of the government are not the work of Bersih 2.0 organisers, said PAS MPs.
Kubang Kerian MP Salahuddin Ayub said he had received a picture from a Johor-based printer who said the stickers were being printed in large quantities.
He said the yellow stickers carried the messages "Bersama kita tumbangkan kerajaan sekarang" (Let's overthrow the government together now) and "Buktikan kita mampu seperti Libya" (Let's prove we can be like Libya).
"This is an organised plan by certain parties, which is clearly to sabotage the rally on July 9. The stickers are not our doing even though it has the Bersih logo," he said in the Parliament lobby yesterday.
Bersih 2.0 steering committee member Haris Ibrahim said the organisers had not commissioned the stickers.
Fellow committee member Wong Chin Huat said it was not Bersih's style to use stickers to spread their views

I went from Karts->SuperKarts->GT3->LMP2->Lmp1 (Zero-to-Hero unlocked at this point), winning every championship & completing the Invitationals along the way. I then completed (and won) the Formula A championship. At this point I expected it to unlock, but it did not. I'm now doing Formula C season. All of these are in the same career, so now I'm wondering if I missed a discipline somewhere? It's all a bit confusing, the tiers/classes & disciplines. Any advice appreciated.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The median nerve is one of the nerves which supplies the hand (shown opposite). It passes through the wrist in a narrow channel called the carpal tunnel, along with the Flexor digitorum and flexor pollicis longus tendons.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by a number of factors, including:
All of these conditions can cause a narrowing of the space through which the median nerve passes. The cause may be structural such as with a fracture or congenital cases, or due to swelling, inflammation or fluid retention.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is three times more common in women, probably because they have a smaller carpal tunnel. It also has a higher prevalence in people with diabetes and other conditions which directly affect the nervous system. It usually occurs firstly and sometimes solely in the dominant hand, where it is also more painful. Some professions are more at risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome, especially people working on an assembly line, who are continually repeating the same movement.
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?
Symptoms usually increase gradually and may initially only be present at night. Carpal tunnel syndrome may be in one or both wrists.
How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?
If you suspect carpal tunnel syndrome you should visit your Doctor as soon as possible. They will ask you about your symptoms and examine your hand and wrist for tenderness, sensation, warmth and colour. They will often try to get you to reproduce your symptoms by performing an aggravating movement, or one of the following tests:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment
Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome should initially be conservative and led by your Doctor. The first period of treatment should include complete rest for the wrist, which is normally immobilised in a splint, as shown above. If there is inflammation and swelling present, using a form of cold therapy will help to relieve this. Your Doctor may also prescribe anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to reduce inflammation, or diuretics to clear fluid retention .
Following a period of immobilisation, stretching and strengthening exercises can be used to help prevent a reoccurrence of symptoms. All exercises should be performed pain-free. If pain occurs, go back a step. Firstly you should aim for a full, pain-free range of motion, before moving on to strengthening. Resistance bands are excellent for performing wrist strengthening exercises.
If symptoms do not improve following rest and anti-inflammatories, other options include steroids or lidocaine injections.
If all of this treatment fails and symptoms persist over a 6 month period, surgery may be required

A targeted night repair face serum to intensely hydrate and dramatically boost your skins natural renewal process. Ideal for normal, dry or mature skin.
Black Chicken Remedies Nocturnalist works while you sleep to lock in moisture, defend against environmental damage, soften the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles and support collagen production.
This lightweight face serum is the perfect blend of powerful antioxidants and skin-replenishing nutrients from prickly pear, acai virgin oil, meadowfoam oil, argan oil, and sesame oil—which penetrate deeply to relieve dryness and calm irritation leaving your skin looking and feeling soft, smooth and supple.
Is Nocturnalist a replacement for Black Chicken Remedies Love Your Face Serum? No. Love Your Face Serum is for use during the day and Nocturnalist is for use at night.
Why do I need Black Chicken Remedies Nocturnalist if I already use Love Your Face Serum? Love Your Face Serum is for daytime use - when we need our skin to stay hydrated and protected from the weather. At night, our skin goes into recovery mode. Nocturnalist is formulated to work during this recovery period to replenish and rejuvenate our skin reducing signs of aging.
How long will 1 bottle of Black Chicken Remedies Nocturnalist last? Used nightly, the 30 ml bottle will last around 3 months. Use sparingly - only 2 to 3 drops is needed at a time.
Do I need to use a face cream on top of Black Chicken Remedies Nocturnalist? No. Nocturnalist replaces your night cream. It contains the perfect amount of moisture to keep your skin soft from the evening until you wake up in the morning.
Why do I need to use Nocturnalist at night? Beauty sleep is real. When we sleep our skin works hard to repair and renew. This is when nutrients are needed the most and when the anti-aging benefits are the greatest. Nocturnalist is formulated to take advantage of this and delivers potent nutrients to our skin
Will Black Chicken Remedies Nocturnalist make my skin oily? No. It absorbs into skin quickly. Dehydration is often the reason for oily skin. When you give your skin the moisture it needs - it should balance out oil production. To make sure your serums and creams absorb properly - we recommend exfoliating once a week to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells.
Is Nocturnalist suitable for sensitive skin? Black Chicken Remedies products are generally suitable for sensitive skin. Please do not use if you are known to react to any ingredient listed. If your skin is extremely sensitive - we recommend trying something from our essential oil free collection.

Choosing the Best Dog Food for an Overweight German Shepherd Dog
The German Shepard has a long history of being a working dog. With such an active lifestyle it's essential that they get the necessary calorie intake in order to maintain their desired weight and to prevent the onset of obesity. Historically, the German Shepherd, which comes from the country of Germany, is considered a herding dog. Due to their intelligence, strength, obedience, and trainability, the German Shepherd is the go-to breed for various workloads such as military, police, search and rescue and even working with disabled people. Exercise becomes a key factor for this breed in order to maintain a healthy life.

The History of German Shepherd Dogs and Obesity
The German Shepherd dog originated in Germany dating back to 1899. The German Shepard was known as the Alsatian in Britain after World War One. In 1977 the name was changed back to German Shepard from Alsatian. The German Shepard first came onto the scene in 1899 and was considered a medium to large sized working class dog. These dogs are easy to train and follow instructions. Due to their intelligence and obedience, the German Shepard has been used throughout history from everything from assisting in searching for lost people and booby traps to assisting disabled people and as a guard dog. The German Shepard was always considered a work dog and has served a variety of roles working with humans. Due to their great sense of smell the German Shepherd is considered on of the best breeds for a wide array of working type environments. Some of the types of work that this breed has been trained in includes narcotics detection, search and rescue, explosives detection, cadaver searching, mine detection and accelerant detection. Although the German Shepard does a lot for the police and military this dog also is best suited as an assistance dog for the visually impaired as well as for people with various other types of disability . Due to the German Shepard's intelligence, strength, obedience and trainability, they are the perfect breed for various workloads. Because the German Shepherd worked so closely with their humans they more then likely ate whatever the human was eating at the time.

Overweight/Obese German Shepherd Dogs in Modern Times
Even today, the German Shepard is a popular work dog for humans. Because of this attribute, it is likely that this dog is still prone to eating a poor diet of whatever the human is eating such as table scraps. The German Shepard is still being used as a work dog for police, fire, military, search and rescue and as guide dogs for the disabled. The German Shepherd can be both a tough guard dog working for the military as well as a gentle and caring dog working with the disabled. The German Shepard has a long history of being mention in popular culture. Some famous German Shepherds include Rin Tin Tin, Batman's dog and was also featured in the 1957 film "Old Yeller. " There have been plenty of notable German Shepherds through out times including those who have been awarded Dickin Medals (for serving in the military), PDSA gold metals (animal bravery), and PDSA certificates for bravery and devotion. The German Shepard lives an active lifestyle that is always on the move in its service as a work dog for various jobs. Unlike the German Shepard's in the past, this dog no longer has to search for its food because it has people to take care of it and give it the nutrition that it requires to stay healthy and active. The German Shepard still requires plenty of protein and calories in its diet due to the workload they might be exposed to. However, not all German Shepard;s are active in the military or police. Some German Shepherds are serving as family dogs. These dogs do not require as much protein and calories like those that live more active lifestyles working with military and police.

question mark (1 year and 94 days ago)
Only the men have shadows? Oh, I get it..."It's surrealism"...
Thanks for commenting, I was worrying that the Shadow Police had retired.
Yes the ladies do have shadows. they are just hidden on the other side of their bodies.. The sun is in the upper left. Draw a line where the sun must be to make the men's shadows -Notice that there is a some shadow showing under the buggys for example under the front left wheel also very light shadow behind the ladies coat. I should have made the shadows darker to be seen better.
Anyway, you have helped me much in the past. I appreciate all you have done for Pxleyes. Please keep the Shadow and Reflection Police departments open.
I wish you would have mentioned this before voting started. I would have attempted to improve it.
I was thinking of the statues and the trees.
I liked your SBS and gave extra points for it. I think this is under rated.
Thanks pal. I worked really hard on this one. Probably 50 hours over about 2 weeks.
Wish others would make SBS's. Even making one SBS with a few mentions of problems and solutions would be helpful.
Yea I saw the work you put into it man. 50 hours is an incredible amount of time. Hats off to you. That's dedication. I know you put your heart and soul into that. Keep up the great work.
SBS's are not easy. I work in Frame Animation when I do mine then output by "Export > Render Video" and select "Photoshop Image Sequence" and finally to jpg.
Howdie stranger!

After the kids went off to school this morning, I was pulling weeds around our mailbox. Sitting on the cement with my white, tough rose gloves on....
All of a sudden, the feeling of complete "peace" and almost "safety" came across me. I even sat back on my driveway...it was good.
The decisions is done...we are {living} it now.
It was right...it was worth all the work {minus the worry}!
praise God!
