Recovery centre for addiction, compulsive and obsessive behaviour and stress management
The first group are people who already identify as being in recovery from addictive substances or behaviours. These are people who choose to take a short time-out from normal life commitments to focus on a particular aspect of their programme in a supportive environment.
The second type of person is someone who may be questioning whether they are stuck in patterns of obsessive thinking or compulsive behaviour. They may identify with the description of living life in one's own head or feeling disconnected from the physical world or other people.
These people come to a Recovery Centre with a sense of curiosity, interested in what recovery might look like for them.
The third type of person is someone who recognises they have a problem with obsessive thinking or compulsive behaviours and need help from experienced clinicians and support staff to develop a tailor-made Recovery Plan.
Drinking too much
Using recreational drugs or prescribed medications habitually
Compulsively gambling, gaming or spending money
Binge eating or using sex
An inability to switch-off from work or their corporate identity
Compulsively checking social media or relying on the internet & television for social connection
Restricting food or compulsively exercising
Living in fantasy through compulsive dating or romanticising unhealthy attachments/partners
All of these activities have the same consequence, which is to disconnect people from the world and each other. Creating a life most often lived inside one's own head resulting in symptoms of anxiety, depression or emotional disturbances.
Australian Recovery Centres primary purpose is to show Australians how to step out of these addictive mental patterns to re-join the natural environment and each other.

There's a boy who lives on the outskirts of Neopia Central, I suppose some would even call him a man. In his nineteenth year this vivid young Kyrii happens to be. He is unlike most Neopets, he is independent and wild. You can see it in his deep, hazel coloured eyes. It's like they burn through you; it's always hard to keep eye contact with him.
His name, should you care to know it, is Dean. If you really want to pull his chain, you may even like to call him 'Deany' or 'Deany Pie', like his mother often does. It won't be greeted with a warm smile, however.
Dean is a golden Kyrii with the shaggiest hair. It is pretty scruffy, like he just hopped out of a shower and roughed it up with a towel, except it seems to sit like that all day every day. It sort of flows across his face, framing it, in blissful jaggers. It would probably look dapper if his hair were well-kept.
Dean stands on the tallish side, just above average in height, and his customisation is casual, deep blue jeans and a black shirt, nothing fancy at all. No contact lenses or accessories, just a good pair of white runners, because Fyora knows he'll be legging it out of trouble sooner than later!
He lives in a modest neohome, not too sizable, but big enough for a family. Most neopets out of town have large houses, so some in Central may consider it bigger than their neohomes. His family share the neohome. Living with Dean is his older brother, Jacoby, their mother Jullian, and their father Isaac.
Jacoby is a brown Kyrii that makes friends easily, he likes to tinker with things and is usually working on something. Jacoby is rather stealthy though and will slip out of any room unnoticed, without any trouble. Dean often says he should be painted stealth, but Jacoby isn't the type to save his NP. In a way, Jacoby keeps to himself, despite his large neofriend list.
Jullian is a typical Kyrii, she has two boys and a neohome to keep clean, along with the neogarden to tend to, that it may thrive and grow into something wonderful. She loves all sorts of flowers and fruits, but for some reason cannot seem to get them to grow in the way she pictures it in her head.
Isaac, Dean and Jacoby's dad, is a gruff old Kyrii. He does a lot of field work out on Meriacre Farm. He is getting on in years, but always puts in a solid amount of effort into everything he does. He'll always be there for his boys, even if they take amusement in trying his patience sometimes!
Back to our rebel, Dean. This troublesome Kyrii is well known for his mischief, having made King Skarl mad more times than anyone else, and he also holds the reputation for classically filling the Rainbow Pool with soap bubbles. Mostly harmless things, done for personal amusement, yet at the dismay of those around him.
And yet everyone adores Dean, because he makes them laugh. He has a childish grin that gets him anywhere. King Roo adores him; Dean will never say no to one of King Roo's games, he is eager to take up and conquer every challenge, and laugh off any losses. King Roo sometimes feels a bit less jolly after losing to Dean multiple times in a row, but he'll always invite him back into his game room, because Dean is such a great sport.
This is how everyone becomes so conflicted over Dean; he is a loveable rebel, unwilling to reason. Happy to say and do as he pleases, because he knows no one will deny him. They may get mad or upset or whatever, but they'll be back. They always come back for something...
"I'm just that good! I am a legend!" Dean told himself aloud, after winning another World Challenge victory. He'd maxed out his wins for the past four days now.
"Dean! Why don't you leave the games room and give someone else a fair go? Jacoby could use your help putting up a wardrobe, and I could use your help out in the neogarden. Remember that fountain you said you'd help build in the garden.... Two months ago?" Jullian sang out.
"You guys are fine.. You can do it yourselves, I believe in you!" and with that Dean had jumped out of his window and onto the dusty ground outside.
The air was cool; it always did get cold in Neopia Central around this time of the year. A bellow of wind picked up and sent debris from loose dirt skittering along with it. Dean shivered. It was very cold out today.
The sky looked grey like a stone, clouds sat scattered throughout the sky. There was no sun, but as Dean looked up in thought, he saw a tiny spec up there, orbiting. The Space Station, Dean identified it easily. He'd never been, but he had heard stories of strange happenings up there.
"No use looking up at the sky," Dean sighed to himself. An empty lot of land stretched out in front of him and he began to walk away from his home and into town.
It was a weekend, yet there was very little activity around. In town the shops would be thriving with restockers and upper-class neopets at the stock exchange. But out here, you've got nothing save the odd neighbour waving to you, and a few wild petpets popping up here and there.
For the most part things were still. Trees were animated by the icy breeze and the path into town lay silent. As Dean trod along it alone, he wondered what he would do now.
He figured he'd go and visit Peopatra's central petpet pen. He beamed a little, as he did adore those little petpets. His sneakers thudded along dusty road as he picked up his pace.
When Dean finally arrived, he heard a funny noise at the petpet yards and saw a hole in the fence! What was going on?!! He hid behind a large boulder, as he saw two suspicious looking Meerca haul a big bag out of the yard, snickering. Dean could hear the petpets inside the bag, whimpering!
What could Dean do to help his favourite petpets? If he ran to Peopatra now, he would surely get the blame for making that hole in the fence! Rebel Dean, it was always his fault, even when he tried to do good. This was different though, those petpets needed saving, and those shady Meerca needed to be stopped!
"How can I help my Seti friends?" A thought came to Dean. Jacoby had given him a Green Sticky Hand last week to play pranks with; from this spot he may be able to use it to snatch something off those nasty Meerca and use it as evidence!
And that is what Dean did. With all his skill and prowess, he flung that sticky hand with purpose. It struck the smallest Meerca on the side, and flung back to his hiding spot before the Meerca could turn and see what had hit him. A small notebook fall into Dean's hand, as the Meerca stopped and turned around...
"What was that then, 'ey?" He peered about.
"Quiet! And hurry up and get a move on!" The larger Meerca hushed his accomplice and they moved away swiftly out of view.
What Dean had looked pointless, a notebook... But he opened it and saw their plan! Everything was written here, including the names of those two Meerca and their scheme to sell the petpets on the auction house! What nasty fellows they were, Dean scowled!
And so our dear Dean upped on his heels and headed towards Peopatra's shop with all haste! It was a long way to the Lost Desert, but he got there in good time. He ran as fast as his little legs could take him, and was lucky enough to catch a flight on a Lenny. That was pretty cool!
knock, knock, knock.
"Peopatra! Peopatra! It's Dean, something is wrong with your petpets! Please help!" Dean rapped upon the door, exhausted. Peopatra heard the urgency in his voice and came to the door.
"Whatever is a matter, Dean?" she asked.
"They took the Seti away, they stole your Seti!" Dean thrust the notebook into Peopatra's grasp and she frowned at it.
"What are you talking about, Dean? What trouble have you caused?" Then she looked at the notebook, and saw the names of the Meerca Brothers. She dropped it and ran straight into neomail the Security Chia, who came immediately.
"Don't worry, Peopatra, we'll get your petpets back," said Officer Chia, as he finished up questioning Dean about what he'd saw.
It took a few days, but finally Officer Chia kept his word. The petpets were recovered from flagged auctions and all were returned to Peopatra, all thanks to Dean and his quick thinking!
The Meerca Henchman got away, but they'd surely make a mistake somewhere, and justice would come swiftly for them, Dean thought.
Dean was given honours as a brave citizen, and people began to see him in a new light, now when he walked around the place, people waved a little more warmly, and he endeavoured to keep it that way. He was sure to watch his replies and he was considerate towards others in the games room, he even helped Jullian build that fountain.
Maybe, just maybe, if things kept going well, he'd consider joining the Defenders of Neopia, but that would take a lot of training and dedication... A story for another day.
The End. :)

Every day, in every facet of our lives, opportunities to lead call out to us. At work and at home, in our local communities and in the global village, the chance to make a difference beckons. Yet often, we hesitate. For all its passion and promise, for all its excitement and rewards, leading is risky, dangerous work. Why? Because real leadership-the kind that surfaces conflict, challenges long-held beliefs, and demands new ways of doing things-causes pain. And when people feel threatened, they take aim at the person pushing for change. As a result, leaders often get hurt both personally and professionally.
In Leadership on the Line, renowned leadership authorities Ronald A. Heifetz and Marty Linsky marshal a half century of combined teaching and consulting experience to show that it is possible to put ourselves on the line, respond effectively to the risks, and live to celebrate our efforts. With compelling examples including the presidents of countries and the presidents of organizations, everyday managers and prominent activists, politicians and parents, the authors illustrate proven strategies for surviving and thriving amidst the dangers of leading.

Countless songs have made it big twice, once by the original recording artist and once by another person or act covering it later on, sometimes to a higher place than the original. Tonight we dance to some awesome originals and covers!

About My Practice
I started practicing yoga over 25 years ago, in a big empty room above a funky and fragrant Indian restaurant in Dallas, Texas. I loved the way yoga felt- to stretch and move my body in all sorts of unusual ways. And I loved the way it made my mind quiet down- I always left class feeling peaceful and centered.
Currently, I teach all different levels of yogis, in all different settings: large group, semi-private, and private, and typically with a flow style simply because I love the way flowing from one pose into another creates such a graceful rhythmic quality that in itself becomes meditative. Teaching proper breathing and alignment is important to me. My pace is not too fast; I like to give students a moment to land in a pose, feel the safe and solid alignment of it, and be present with their breathing before transitioning into the next posture.

Duberry smashes four goals to send Rhodes into final
PUBLISHED: 16:30 18 February 2015 | UPDATED: 16:35 18 February 2015
Sam Duberry hit four goals to help Dunmow Rhodes Lions U16s secure their place in the Blackwater & Dengie League Division Two Cup final.
With a 3-2 first leg lead over Great Notley Hammers, the Lions ran out 4-1 victors in the second leg for an overall 7-3 aggregate success.
This was another good team performance by the Lions with Reece Cottrell and his defence in total control.
Rhodes took an early lead when neat football from Christian Roles and Henry French found Duberry who ran at the Hammers defence, went round the advancing keeper and shot into the empty net.
Rhodes scored their second as Christian Roles found Duberry with a neat lob and he made no mistake to net again.
The Hammers pulled a goal back just before half-time to make it 2-1 at the interval.
Rhodes continued to dominate in the second half with Luke Johnson in the Lions goal having a quiet game.
Dominic Roles on the left flank was busy tormenting the Hammers defence, while Adam Griggs kept causing problems with his free-kicks and Rhodes soon hit a third with skipper Christian Roles finding Duberry who fired in for 3-1 to complete his hat-trick.
Griggs then took a free-kick from just outside the penalty area, his shot was pushed away by the Hammers keeper, but it fell to the feet of man of the match Duberry who fired home to claim his fourth goal to make it 4-1.
Rhodes will play Rayne Youth or Old Chelmsfordians in the final at Witham Town Football Club on Sunday, March 15.
The match will kick-off at 3pm.

I dig a good weekend brunch, which I seek out once every couple weeks.
Breakfast on a weekday, however? I want to spend whatever 10 minutes it takes to prepare and eat breakfast SLEEPING.
Sleep in warm bed > everything
Sometimes I swipe a Clif Bar or two from the boyfriend. Sometimes I manage to make overnight oats to bring to work. Maybe oatmeal.
But the only thing I really bother with ingesting in the morning is coffee. With the combination of jitters and an empty stomach, lunch can't come soon enough. Even when I do bring a small breakfast to work, I metabolize it so quickly that I'm still starving for lunch, anyway.
A couple weeks ago, after sliding into a bar stool at Barking Dog Alehouse in Ballard for some food and coffee with my Seahawks game, I ordered a breakfast bowl, without the fried egg. Basically it was Spanish style rice with beans, salsa, green onions I believe … I dunno. Good stuff. It was delightful and fulfilled by Tex Mex craving I always have at breakfast time.
Fuck, I can make rice and put delicious shit on it.
Enter: my rice and tofu bowl.
Last week, I made Spanish rice from Happy Herbivore Abroad and tofu scramble from Happy Herbivore Light and Lean with black beans, green onions and roasted red peppers mixed in. They were divided among three containers and layered in with salsa. I kept them in the fridge and could take one out in the morning before work. I brought an itty bitty container with cool vegan sour cream and cilantro for topping after I zapped my breakfast bowl in the microwave and cut an avocado into it.
First, let me say I can't believe I haven't made tofu scramble before. It's ten times easier than making an egg scramble, which I used to do fairly frequently. And it's so delicious! Yeah!
Also, a satisfying breakfast on a work day is unbelievable. (I did have one of the bowls on a Saturday. That was also amazing.) I'm not starving by 11:30 a.m. I can delay lunch a bit more, which allows me not to come home starving. I know this all sounds obvious, but I have spent my adult life not being a morning/breakfast person. You still have to electrocute me into consciousness in the morning, but after that, I'll be looking forward to this breakfast and not feeling like crap with nothing but coffee coursing through my veins. This has been something I've been meaning to do for awhile – make a good, satisfying breakfast ahead of time that will last me a few days – and I'm so glad this worked out for me.
I can't guarantee myself that I can make this all the time, but it has inspired me to make breakfast more of a priority. Perhaps that just requires finding more awesome breakfast recipes or inventing stuff that's easy to transport.

Mow the Line
For Ron Meloche, collecting John Deere lawn tractors is more than a hobby...it's part of his history.
A Family's History
For many people, personal passions are discovered. But for Ron Meloche of McGregor, Ontario, his passion was inherited. When Ron was a kid, his dad began collecting lawn and garden tractors. But in 1973, a special John Deere model first caught his eye.
"When I was 11 years old, my dad bought a [John Deere] 110," says Ron. "It was a brand new lawn mower, and I was hooked. I was the one who used to cut grass and that was my lawn mower, and I still have it today." When Ron's dad passed away, Ron and his brothers took over their father's 13-tractor collection along with 4 John Deere lawn tractors and 27 pedal tractors… and the legacy lived on.
Sparked by his love for that first mower, Ron has continued collecting John Deere mowers exclusively. With fifteen models in his possession, ranging in make from 1964-2013, all but one are still up and running. "A few I use around the yard, but we take them to the Essex County Steam and Gas Engine Show once a year."
But these aren't just showpieces. To this day, they're still getting used and passed down to Ron's kids. "My daughter has got two at her place; she uses my 275, and my son uses the 210." With no signs of slowing down, Ron's still looking to add to his collection.
"My goal is to get a '63 [model]. My intent was that I'd get one lawn mower from every year of the older ones. My garage is 2,400 square feet and the two-car section in the back is full of John Deere."
Nothing Runs Like A Deere
Meet Ron Meloche, his family, and his treasured collection of John Deere lawn tractors.
Nothing Runs Like A Deere
The John Deere Way
While the passion for collecting runs deep, loyalty to John Deere runs even deeper. Ron attributes this to his early childhood experiences. "I used to race my friends who would ride lawn mowers around town. We'd go behind the school and race them! John Deere always won. I [even] used it for a paper route when I was a kid."
Aside from the happy memories, it was John Deere's resilience, technology, and rich legacy that was something Ron could always count on. "John Deere has always been my go-to. When I bought my 1025 Sub Compact Utility Tractor, I researched [competing brands], and I still went back to John Deere because of dependability. They've done a good job in their designs with easy accessibility and durability … I was always partial to the green and yellow."
As Ron works to complete his collection, there'll always be a special place in his heart for the 110. "That one I'll take to my grave."

What is the procedure to sucessfully upgrade past 8.0. I have heard that you have to run the installer and select to create a fresh install rather than upgrade but cancel the installation before completion. I am not sure at what point you must cancel and I do not know what has to be done after the install is cancelled. Any info that is available on this subject would be greatly appreciated

Joan M. Alby, 87, died peacefully on Friday July 26, 2019 after a long and full life. She was known for being a supportive and dedicated mother and wise and loyal friend. She was elegant and generous, unflappable and gracious.
She was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan and attended Furman University and the Ray Vogue School of Design in Chicago, where she met her husband, Robert D. Alby. They lived in Chicago until 1970, when they moved with their four children to Atlanta.
Joan was an accomplished interior designer, as was her husband. She practiced design as an art form, bringing beauty and joy to innumerable homes and work places. She taught us all that our surroundings matter, and they are an ideal canvas for self-expression, preserving history, and setting the tone for our lives.
Robert and Joan moved to Madison in 1990 and were deeply devoted to the community. Joan was a member of the Magnolia Garden Club for over 25 years, the Chairperson of Acquisitions at Heritage Hall for 20 years, and volunteer at Joseph's Coat for five years. She was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church in Atlanta from 1970-1990 and a member of St. James Catholic Church in Madison ever after. Her gratitude for the nearly 30 years she spent with the people of Madison cannot be overstated.
Joan is reunited with her husband, Robert D. Alby, and her spirit is carried on by her sister, Glena Vanderberg, her four children, Cathy Stockton, Mary Horner, Greg Alby, and Cynthia Alby, her niece, Jill Vanderberg, and her grandchildren, Glenn Alby, Eleanor Hunt, and Rhett Alby along with many other friends and relatives too numerous to name.
The memorial service will be on Saturday August 3rd at 11 a.m. at St. James Catholic Church in Madison located on 562 Vine Street. A reception will follow.

Judge Richard Goldstone's fact finding mission on Gaza will hold hearings in Geneva this week. Following was our interactive dialogue with his team in May. As can be seen, regrettably our questions were never really answered. And Prof. Christine Chinkin did not tell the truth when she denied already having pronounced herself on the very matter the mission is supposed to determine…
Judge Goldstone: Denounce the Gaza Inquiry's Biased Mandate
UN Watch Intervention
NGO consultation meeting with the
United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict
Geneva, 7 May 2009
Thank you, Judge Goldstone, for this opportunity to exchange thoughts with you and your mission. You have a distinguished reputation for ability, integrity and dedication to the cause of international human rights, and UN Watch very much appreciates our dialogue today.
We wish to share with you several concerns concerning the nature of this Mission, and then look forward to hearing from you.
The conflict that erupted in Southern Israel and Gaza earlier this year was a tragedy for all of the innocent victims. The question is how the international community can become part of the solution.
Regrettably, the actions of the UN Human Rights Council have instead become part of the problem. Instead of dealing with genocide in Darfur and other gross violations around the world, it has been pathologically obsessed with vilifying Israel, to the point of demonization.
The Council has devoted more than eighty percent of all its resolutions on country situations to the one-sided condemnation of Israel. It has devoted more special sessions to the condemnation of Israel than to the rest of the world combined. Its permanent investigation on Israel examines only one side of the conflict, and presumes Israeli guilt in advance. To carry out that task, which is supposed to require impartiality, the Council last year named Richard Falk, someone who has accused Israel of planning a Holocaust against the Palestinians, and who argues, as recently as several months ago, that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 may have been an inside job by the U.S. government.
Judge Goldstone, we urge you, please, not to associate your good name and reputation to the disreputable actions of this body concerning Israel. Even if you conduct an impeccable mission, on what basis can we expect the Council, the body to which you shall report, to do anything but use it, directly or indirectly, to legitimize its grossly biased record?
This is our primary concern. We also have several specific questions.
First, we would appreciate it if you could clarify one question concerning your mission, which the Council created by Resolution S/9-1. The terms of this resolution deliberately excluded any scrutiny of Hamas or other actors in the region. It called for "an urgent, independent international fact-finding mission … to investigate all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law by the occupying Power, Israel, against the Palestinian people throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in the occupied Gaza Strip, due to the current aggression."
This mandate prejudges everything. It prejudges one side as the aggressor, and prejudges that same side as having the monopoly on violations. For that reason, many countries, including the European Union, Switzerland and Japan, refused to support it, and many distinguished individuals declined offers to join the mission.
While it was reported that you received additional terms from the Council President, is not your mission funded, framed and governed by the Council resolution? Will you be asking the Council itself to make the necessary changes?
Second, regarding the requirement of impartiality, some have noted that you signed a statement during the January conflict that was seen as a criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, one that made no mention of Sderot. Did you also sign a statement while Hamas attacked Israel repeatedly in the preceding years?
Others have noted that your colleague on this Mission, Professor Chinkin, signed a separate and far harsher statement during the conflict, one that "categorically rejected" Israel's contention that it was acting under self-defence. How can someone be impartial after already rejecting the principal argument of one side of the conflict? Should she not recuse herself?
Third, we are concerned that your faith is liable to be misused by the Council to legitimize its biased record against Israel. On April 3, 2009, you were quoted by Agence France Presse as saying that it had been "quite a shock, as a Jew, to be invited" to head the Gaza mission. But why did this shock you? Are you not aware that Richard Falk, the council's permanent investigator on alleged Israeli violations, is Jewish, and that this was the main reason that the Arab states insisted on naming him to the post?
In summary, we are certain that you will try to conduct an impeccable mission, but we are deeply concerned by the underlying mandate, and the ways in which the Council is likely to use your good reputation to legitimize its disreputable record concerning Israel. Thank you.
Judge Goldstone: First, I will carry out the mandate I hope with integrity. I have no preconceived notions at all. I have been a judge for more than a quarter of a century and I think I have gotten used to the dealing with contentions in difficult situations in my own country and other countries.
The fact that I am Jewish, as far as I am concerned, is irrelevant. I regard myself first and foremost as a human being. And I hope that I can understand the trials and tribulations of people who have been put in unfortunate positions and victimized. We are, as the mandate indicates, to look at all allegations on both sides.
The letter I signed, I signed because I thought it was a very even-handed statement, which didn't make any allegations of guilt on either side. As far as I was concerned, the signatories to that letter expressed their shock at some of the violations that have been committed. It didn't say on which side or the other, and I think that's why I felt free, and it incidentally had nothing to do with this mission. The timing was quite coincidental. When I signed that statement I had no idea that I would be invited to take this position, and when I had been invited to take this position that statement hadn't been published. So the one had absolutely no connection with the other.
Professor Chinkin: Perhaps two points. The first one: I was of course a member of the earlier fact finding mission on Beit Hanun. And in that we made a very strong statement relating to the firing of rockets into southern Israel. We very strongly regretted that, because we were unable to interview people in southern Israel that we were unable to give as rounded a picture of the situation as we had hoped, and we very much concluded that what we needed was further, full evidence to be able to come to any categorical conclusions. So that even in, what again, some people considered to be an uneven mandate, we tried very much to address those issues. Whether we succeeded or not is obviously your own judgment.
With respect to the letter in question, again that was way before any question of any fact-finding mission, and the letter concerned the very particular issue about the legality of the use of force, what we call as international lawyers the jus ad bellum, whereas this mandate is the human rights and international humanitarian law, the jus in bellum, which are very different legal questions.
And again, I can only repeat what Judge Goldstone has just said: that I, along with all others member of the mission, intend fully to act with total integrity, and look at the facts of what had occurred on the basis of the evidence, on the basis of the evaluation, on the basis of all materials that we can cover.
Judge Goldstone:
And all I can say is, that I hope that all parties — and I stress all parties — will facilitate our work, and explain to us where they are coming from, and what the allegations are. I think it's in their interest.
Editor's note:
Professor Chinkin did not tell the truth. In fact, her January 11, 2009 statement in the Times expressly accused Israel of committing infractions of both jud ad bellum (denying Israel was acting in self-defence) and of jus in bellum (that Israel violated international humanitarian law).
Chinkin and her colleagues said that Israel was guilty of acting "contrary to international humanitarian and human rights law." In addition, she accused Israel of committing "prima facie war crimes." Indeed, this was the very title of the statement: "Israel's bombardment of Gaza is not self-defence – it's a war crime."
Since Chinkin therefore pronounced herself on the very point that the inquiry is meant to determine — whether or not violations were committed in January — how can she possibly not be disqualified?
We urge Judge Goldstone to uphold this most basic principle of natural justice, and instruct Chinkin to recuse herself.

Sony is rolling out their free games for September, with 1 being Destiny 2 (more on that in a second). GOW3 remastered, Another World Anniversary edition, QUBE, Sparkle 2 & Foul Play round out the group.
But Destiny 2 is the key here. It's actually live now for those interested in playing it, because the game just rolled out the big patch people wanted (yesterday 8/28), Forsaken DLC comes out next Tuesday (9/4)...........AND the free trial of the newest game mode called Gambit happens this Saturday 9/1.
Gambit is going to hook people in real quick because of how fun the shit is, so rolling this out free today was a genius move by Sony. For those interested (since it's free), I do recommend giving D2 a chance at this point. You could just delete the shit afterwards, but the new story is going to reel people in very quickly. I'm on all week to help people rank up and get through the base campaign

Crack Houses – Social and Affordable Partying
March 13, 2010
Background – I was never really that big a partier even back in the day. The reason for this was not big moral issues. The primary reason was that I didn't have much money. Especially during the 80's. Since I was in college and started my work career at the time of "Bright Lights Big City" (not to be confused with the porno movie "Bright Lights Big Titties") and all that folklore, a lot of people assume I was heavy in to cocaine. My crowd didn't participate because that was expensive.
I am not the only one who has expressed this view. I remember (but can't find the source) when the actress Patricia Heaton who was on the TV show "Everybody Loves Raymond" was asked in a magazine interview about living and working in New York in the early 80's. She replied that she didn't get in to the heavy cocaine scene because she was too busy working to pay the rent and couldn't afford it. Same here.
I did walk near the edge of getting involved in an even worse problem. One night in the mid 80's I remember being at a friend's apartment and all of us being very "dazed and confused" (weed). When someone brought up crack houses which we were just hearing the first stories about.
We all agreed this sounded very cool. New version of cocaine (affordable) and you went and smoked it at a house (social). This whole idea intrigued us.
Luckily it didn't intrigue us enough to try it. Especially since we didn't know where any of "these Crack Houses" existed.
The real word on Crack came down not long after that.
Dodged a bullet.

It Ain't Calphalon
February 20, 2010
Have you seen these pots before?
Maybe your mother had them. Maybe you got some from your mother.
Kitty Foreman on That 70's show had them. I'm Not kidding, watch a few episodes you'll see them. So it is possible you have seen these on TV.
It seems like everyone I show these pots to who grew up in the 70's still owns or remembers them.
Growing up in Tampa Florida it meant your mother shopped at Winn-Dixie. Which at that time bore the tagline – "The Beef People". In addition to beef, people were apparently buying lots of cookware from there. I think they offered a different piece each week at a VERY LOW price with like an $8 minimum purchase.
My family did buy their beef at Winn-Dixie. They didn't buy their beef at Publix because it was too expensive and had something done to it which caused it to be labeled "proten" and included a little pat of butter. Pantry Pride was just gross and was mainly where they bought beer and store brand soft drinks (click here for more details about my parents drinking habits). In other words, grocery shopping was "sport" during the recession wracked 70's. You drove from store to store in your 6 – 8 miles per gallon car to get certain items at the "best price" at 3 – 4 different stores. I remember thinking one of my friends was RICH because their mother ONLY shopped at Publix.
These are the remaining three I have at my house. I know at one time there were more. Sources included my mother, my mother inlaw and a friend's mother. Today they are kept as backups in case the stainless steel or Calphalon is dirty. All the lids are missing and the handles fell off the large pot probably 20 years ago. I think my mother finally got rid of the last of hers.
So the next time you think you are so poor during this recession – look in your cabinets. Does your cookware include any Calphalon, LeCruset or comparable brands? If it does, then shut up. Our parents bought their cookware at the grocery store.

Burn, Burn Like A Wicker Cabinet
January 16, 2010
I always loved those song lyrics. They are from "Inside Out" by Eve 6 (video below).
The song is no great masterpiece but the lyric wicker cabinet always reminds me of the first apartments my wife and I had together in the early 80's. Wicker was both the stylish and affordable choice in home decor and World Bazaar was where you got it.
Hey, it's not like we were freakin rich and could buy things from Pier One.
We had one neighbor whose apartment opened out on to the parking lot and they left their drapes open all the time so we could see in to their apartment when we were coming and going.
We nicknamed them "Wicker/Rattan". At the time we pretended to each other that the nickname was out of derision for the lavish use of wicker in their Home Decor. Looking back now I realize we were just downright jealous.
I partied with them a few times and did learn their real names. The last time I saw either of them was about a year after we moved out of that complex and when I ran in to him he had lost like 30 pounds, looked like a definite coke freak and ready for rehab.
I guess a beautiful apartment with Wicker Home Decor just wasn't enough.

Shrewd entry pays dividends.
A shrewd piece of placing by Linda saw Knock Boy contest a Class 3 novices chase at Kempton (21/11/2001). With just four entries he was guaranteed prize money if he completed. Starting at 100/1 he could never go with the odds on leader but with a good round of jumping under Charlie Studd and the departure of the second favourite, he was able to collect just under a thousand pounds for finishing 3rd.

I should have known, she thought, tears stinging her already strained eyes. An hour before she helped a woman whose eyes were nearly as red and tired looking as hers were. At the time, she felt nothing but sympathy for the mysterious woman. The day was beautiful and yet there was a person whose world seemed to be dark and dreary. Now that she knew the truth, Anna felt betrayed.
"Talk to me."
She closed her eyes. He sounded sincere in his apology. The woman was a mistake he made. He failed to say how often said mistake was made but the same part of her that wanted him gone also didn't want to know.
"She knew who I was." Anna opened her eyes but only to stare at the painted wall. The puke green had grown on her much like his bad habit of not checking in. That was what should have been her sign. Friends tried making her worry over it but no, she said, John would never do that.
"She knew my schedule, where I worked. She knew me." All at once it set in. The woman wasn't a normal mistake.
Her gaze cut over to the spot on the floor he had taken up during his vague confession. His face was unreadable, as always, and that usually comforted her. As she pinned him with her narrowed, cried out eyes, she could only feel empty.
"Anna," he began, stretching out a leg, "I swear it was a one time mistake. She's probably been stalking us since."
With a shake of her head, Anna got up. John followed. He continued his argument, mentioning how the other woman was jealous, envious, and obsessed. Anna had to stop her walk to the kitchen to turn and stare at him when he started using movies as examples.
"You cheated on me and you think it's a joke?" She scoffed and whirled back around. He was everything her sister warned her about.
A repeated rapping at the door stopped her and her epiphany.
"Don't," he ordered.
"Why? Worried another mistake found us?"
Anna regretted the words when she came face to face with the woman. "You," she breathed out in shock. She was one hell of a stalker if what John said was true.
"You have to listen to me."
Anna opened her mouth to answer but noticed it wasn't her who the woman was talking to. It was John. She looked over her shoulder at him. He was so calm, controlled, collected and there were two women he cheated in the same room.
"Please?" The woman pleaded. Her eyes were still red and she looked visibly shaken.
John strode forward and put his hand on the door. "You've caused enough trouble."
Anna looked up at him. Though she hated the situation the woman was upset about something other than sleeping with another woman's fiancé. She looked back to the stranger who was finally looking at her.
"I'm HIV positive."
A stranger asks to borrow your cell phone. You agree. She turns away and talks on it for a
moment, then faces you once more. "I'm sorry," she says, eyes red. "I'm so sorry." Then,
she runs away.

There is no denying that videos from some of your favourite Instagram influencers have cracked you up more than twice.
From the lightweight velfies (video selfies) to the well edited videos, we all have had our ribs cracked while soaking up targeted social media campaigns.
Looking beyond the comic nature of videos or the products that are being marketed, it is the work done that behind the scenes that question the mind.
So what are the free video editors that your favourite IG influencers and comedians are using?
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is probably the most popular free video editing software for beginners as well as professionals. Perfect for creating video clips, splicing two or more videos, adding music and still images as well as editing already save media. Also, a great feature is the Auto-save function which reliefs the fear of losing your work.
While its many features may be problematic for some, it also gives the Adobe Premiere Pro user a wide range of functions to play with in creating your social media video.
Final Cut Pro X
This works excellently for creating and editing 3D videos. With a simple few clicks, you can apply special effects like lightening, create animated characters and adjust the look and feel of your video.
The user-friendly interface and smooth rendering qualities makes Final Cut Pro X a darling for the video editor who is just starting out. Another paramount feature is the library organisation which helps you save and easily access your edited media.
Lightworks is a Non-Linear Editing Software that supports resolutions up to 4K, inclusive of videos in SD and HD formats. The Emmy award-winning software is easy-to-use and because you can create proxies of the videos you are editing, less powerful computers can be used.
The software is committed to giving your video a good focus, thus helping you create a solid narrative editing if that is your niche. The most prominent minus to Lightworks, however, is to ensure your PC is fast otherwise importing can be very slow and frustrating.
There is hardly any more flexible free video editing tool than the iMovie. It has two versions – iMovie for Mac and iMovie for iPhone.
You can create trailers and beautiful movies using this editing tool. You don't have to be super proficient with editing to use iMovie. Drop-down windows and pop-ups make it quite easy to use.
This is truly a 'short-cut' to free video editing for social media as Shotcut is an open source and a cross-platform video editor.
Although the interface might be a bit confusing at the start, the transition is quick and rendering videos in any format is faster than Usain Bolt. Attaching and detaching video and audio edits is no problem, especially with an excellent GPU feature and ability to recover edits in the case of power failure or a crashed system.
Rules of Thumb
- It is always best to choose the free video editor that is most compatible with your system.
- Endeavour to read reviews and watch YouTube videos before deciding on which video editor to use. Nothing is as frustrating as having to go back and forth when trying to create your video, especially with time breathing down your neck.
- Finally, don't let the beginning scare you, once accustomed to your free video editor, you will soon begin to feel like the popular influencers and other social media video creators you admire.

What's in a name?
August 7, 2011 Leave a comment
day 5 of the 30 day blog challenge
As parents, we go through a long list of potential baby names for our unborn children, names that we hope would match their personalities as they grow up. Plus the fact that their first names should match their last names (or was i the only one thinking that?)
Growing up, i had ideas, thoughts on how my parents came to name me as such. were they fond of hazelnut? did they see a beautiful hazelnut tree? so one day i asked my mom how she came up with my name. the reason i got wasn't one of the things i imagined and expected. i dreamed of a grand and fabulous reason, but all i got was: "i just browsed a list of names from a baby book, and i saw that name and i liked it"
that simple.
and it occurred to me now that it was indeed simple. for my kids, i came prepared, each kid has a reason why they were named such (but we'll leave that a secret) 🙂
but hey, i love my name, i never intend to change it. and suits me quite well. i was named after a nut. i can officially say i am nutty/nuts because i was named such. 🙂

Can't find any European prices
{{bp|Nintendo}} have announced the {{bp|Nintendo Switch Lite}}, a handheld-only variant of the Nintendo Switch. It will be released worldwide on September 20, 2019.
One of the primary features of the flagship Nintendo Switch is its ability to be played in one of three different modes: Handheld Mode, Tabletop Mode, or TV Mode. In contrast, the Nintendo Switch Lite can only be played in Handheld Mode. The Nintendo Switch Lite does not come with Joy-Con controllers; instead, the system and buttons all form a single piece of hardware. As a result, the Nintendo Switch Light does not have HD rumble or an infrared camera. Additionally, the directional buttons have been replaced with a D-Pad. For games that require Joy-Cons, such as {{wp|1-2
Switch}}, they must be purchased separately.
The system will be available in three different colors: yellow, grey and turquoise.
It is marketed as a cheaper alternative to the flagship Nintendo Switch.

This Week's Activity – October 26, 2013:
Weblink to this table: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/weekly_index_summary.GIF
This week, all of the world wide indexes finished the week mixed, US and
Europe were up
and Orient indexes were down. I can not
find a good reason for why the The Japanese Nikkei and the Hong Kong Hang Seng
were both down.
My friend Bobb, sent me this "World Clock" link http://www.poodwaddle.com/Stats/ .
It shows real time running totals for all kinds of worldwide statistics including: population, mortality, illness, environment, energy, food economy and crime. Many of these values were higher (or lower) than I would have ever guessed. But all are very interesting. As an investor, I am trying to figure out how to use this statistical knowledge to my benefit. I welcome your comments on what these figures are trying to tell us.
Last week I discussed the possibility of selling my holdings in FBGRX (Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund). I bought it in Feb. 1995 at $26/share and now it is at $61.13, but is still not back to its all time high of $65.65 of March 23, 2000. Over the past 13 years, the 4 years it had huge drops are:
Year % Down
2000 -10.5%
2001 -16.5%
2002 -25.3%
2008 -38.6%
Even with these big drop years, FBGRX still has a 20 year Total Average Return of 8%, which matches the S&P 500 return. I hate those market drops, and my goal is to BEAT the S&P 500 with my investments, but after further discussions with my wife, we have agreed NOT to sell FBGRX because our entire portfolio is already 50% in cash and by holding on to FBGRX we continue to participate in the current tremendous market rally. We have no idea when this rally will end, and now even if we have a 15% drop, since FBGRX is already up 24.7% for 2013 we will still be ahead for the year.
Here is the Yahoo Finance chart showing FBGRX performance from 1995 to now: http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=FBGRX+Interactive#symbol=fbgrx;range=19941011,20131018;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;
StockEvaluator "Short List" shows only companies that are within 5% of their 52 week low AND have less than 5 Red cells.
Download the short list here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluator_short_list.xls
This week 6 companies are on the short list. They are: EZPW, GMAN, TWGP, BNA, WD, TWI. TWGP is also on this week's Volatility Sort.
Stock Evaluator "Volatility Sort" shows only companies that have: Average Daily Price Volatility >3% ; Within 5% of their 52 week low ; Less than 6 Red cells and Profit >0%.
This week there are 2 companies on the Volatility list: DMD, TWGP.
TWGP is Tower Group International, Ltd., through its subsidiaries, underwrites insurance and reinsurance products in Bermuda, the
United States,
markets. The company provides commercial, personal, and specialty insurance and
reinsurance products. It offers personal insurance products to individuals; and
commercial insurance products to small to medium-sized businesses through a
network of retail and wholesale agents. TWGP
is at $3.82, a new all time low which is down from a 52 week high of $22.30 on
July 29, 2013. See this article for a
description of the $365 million capital reserve charge along with the $215
million goodwill writedown that caused this huge drop: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/10/23/3-stocks-to-get-on-your-watchlist.aspx London
This is a perfect example of why we follow the Goodwill-to-Equity ratio in Stock Evaluator because a company with high Goodwill-to-Equity can at any moment decide to write down this goodwill which will then drop the company's book value and also drop their stock price.
MutualFundEvaluator "Short List" shows funds that are within 3% of their 52 week low AND have less than 3 Red cells. This week's list has 19 funds. All are Bond funds, which are still 5 to 10% above their lows of 2007 to 2009, so I am going to wait on making any bond fund buys until they go even lower. I expect that we will now have to wait until 2014 when the new FED chairperson is sworn in before the FED will agree to any interest rate increases.

Former Pussycat Dolls member Kaya Jones took to Twitter to slam her ex-boyfriend Nick Carter on Wednesday, November 22, one day after singer Melissa Schuman accused him of sexual assault.
"Nick Carter was my boyfriend while I was in the Pussycat Dolls," Jones, 33, tweeted. "He knew about the abuse I endured and did nothing. I guess I now know why. Disgusting. Disgraceful. Disgusted in my heart. Especially because he was a victim of abuse himself. Shame on you Nick!"
Jones may be referring to the alleged abuse she suffered while in the group founded by Robin Antin. The singer called the girl group a "prostitution ring" in a series of tweets on October 13.
Antin, 56, told The Blast on October 15 the claims were "disgusting, ridiculous lies," and added Jones was "clearly looking for her 15 minutes" of fame.
As previously reported, Carter, 37, was accused of sexual assault by Schuman, a former member of the 2000s girl group Dream, in a lengthy blog post on Saturday, November 18.
The "He Loves U Not" singer, 33, alleged Carter removed her pants and ignored her pleas for him to stop after he brought her into a bathroom and they started kissing when she was 18 and he was 22. Schuman also claimed Carter performed oral sex on her and forced her to do the same.
The Backstreet Boys member denied the allegations in a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday.
"I am shocked and saddened by Ms. Schuman's accusations. Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual," the statement read. "We went on to record a song and perform together, and I was always respectful and supportive of Melissa both personally and professionally. This is the first that I am hearing about these accusations, nearly two decades later. It is contrary to my nature and everything I hold dear to intentionally cause someone discomfort or harm."
Jones also responded to Carter's denial of the allegations.
"Nick denies the allegations just like Robin denied my abuse," Jones tweeted. "I know all about the truth here. Don't lie Nick. I'm no longer keeping your secrets."
