Security is like the forsaken child of technology. It's something we all think about, yet few of us have policies in place to ensure our businesses are as secure as they should be. We know about social media, we're still struggling with email marketing, many of our web sites are useful and impotent tools (but at least we know it), our sales could be so much better, I could go on.
But security – we don't have the faintest clue what to do or how to protect ourselves. We think we'll never be hacked or attacked. Yet many businesses, yeah, small businesses are attacked each month.
The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and Symantec have partnered together to conduct a survey on the cyber security awareness practices and habits of roughly 1,500 small businesses in the United States.
The results showed that while 65 percent of those surveyed believe that Internet security is critical to their business, only 28 percent have formal Internet security policies.
Here's five things you can do, right now, to better protect your business:
1. Educate your employees: Only 38 percent of small businesses provide training to their employees about Internet safety and security. Your employees are vital to your company's security posture, so empower them to keep your information and systems safe! A security awareness program with training and guidelines to enable employees to carefully consider the security implications of their online behavior. Require your employees use passwords that mix letters and numbers (not names or dictionary words) and change them often. Educate employees not to use file sharing programs or download free programs from the Internet.
2. Combine policies and technologies: More than 33 percent of small businesses do not have the most basic protection of all—antivirus. As the number and sophistication of Web-based viruses and malicious code continues to rise, small business need to be secured with more than just traditional antivirus technology as they are susceptible to the same type of attacks as large businesses. Polices and education need to be coupled with an integrated solution to protect information wherever it is accessed—from servers to desktops and laptops. Install an integrated security suite solution that will prevent virus infection, block intruders, protect privacy, and stop malicious programs. This will be simpler to install and manage and will keep you completely protected.
3. Protect Your Mobile Workforce: More than 66 percent of employees take computers or PDAs containing sensitive information off-site. 62 percent of the companies surveyed have a wireless network but 25 percent of them do not password protect their wireless networks. All network-connected computers and inbound/outbound traffic should be monitored for signs of unauthorized entry and malicious activity. Create and enforce policies that identify and restrict applications that can access your network and ensure employees follow best practices when they work remotely.
4. Backup Valuable Data: Small businesses are handling valuable data: 65 percent store customer data, 43 percent store financial record and reports, and 33 percent store credit card information and a 20 percent have intellectual property and other sensitive corporate property. It is critical to back up important data regularly and store extra copies of this data off site. Train your staff to perform basic back-up tasks unsupervised. Backup systems as well as applications and files at least daily, and test the backup and recovery process periodically to be sure it works.
5. Stay informed and update often: Only 53 percent of small businesses have someone check company's computers to ensure that their operating systems and security software are up-to-date. Stay aware of the security threats you face by reviewing reports published by industry experts. Keep antivirus software up-to-date by downloading virus definitions as soon as they are available and regularly apply updates and patches.

Bulk stores like Costco and Sam's Club do have some great deals, but that doesn't mean you'll always save money shopping at one of them. If you're like me, three things are working against you while you push that ginormous cart…
- You assume everything is a good deal because it's bulk pricing.
- You really believe you won't let it go to waste.
- You greatly overestimate your love for one type of food.
Fall prey to those pitfalls and you might end up wasting money. Shop smarter and you'll not only stop wasting money – you'll start saving a lot of it. Here are some tips for bulk-food shopping that really helped me…
1. Stick to one membership…
Having multiple bulk-store memberships ensures you get deals on different products – since they all carry slightly different stuff – but you could end up paying more than $100 each year just to get inside the store. As of December, club memberships varied from $40 to $55 annually.
It's cheaper to pick one bulk store and stick to it for a year. If you need help choosing, check out How to Pick the Best Wholesale Club.
2. …Or don't buy a membership at all
Bulk stores generally let a member bring in one guest. (I usually bring a friend with me to Sam's Club.) If you don't plan on going more than a few times a year, why not piggyback on someone else's paid membership? You just saved at least $40.
If you do plan on going regularly, you can split the cost of membership with a friend or family member. For example, Sam's Club gives you two membership cards for $40, which I split each year with my sister. We don't live in the same house – or even the same city – but it's never been a problem.
3. Compare price per unit
Bulk stores have cheaper prices on most items. A study conducted a few years ago by the United States Department of Agriculture showed that 86 percent of the food items it compared cost less at a bulk store. (The USDA found the largest savings in meat, canned goods, and store-brand foods.)
But that means 14 percent didn't cost less. When you factor in sale prices or store card discounts, it may be cheaper to buy certain foods at the grocery store. To be sure, calculate the unit price for the things you buy at the bulk food store, and the unit price for the same items at the grocery store. Then compare the two.
4. Buy the store brand
Many of the bulk stores carry their own brands of cleaning products, laundry detergent, pet food, and some nonperishable foods. And the store brand usually costs less. For example, Sam's Club sells Tide and their brand, Member's Mark…
- Tide with ActiveLift, 170 ounces/110 loads = $19.98
- Member's Mark Liquid Laundry Detergent, 225 ounces/146 loads = $13.68
In this case, buying the store brand will save you 12 cents a load. Doesn't sound like a lot, but how much laundry do you wash in a year?

Arexx script to convert a value of one currency type to another.
Based on Convert 0.6 by Michael Trebilcock which used xe.com to
perform the currency exchange. Due to changes to xe.com, v0.6
no longer works. The script now uses a web service from
finance.yahoo.com to source the exchange rate and the currency
value calculation is now performed within the script.
Requires an Amiga compatible system running a TCP/IP stack,
e.g. Miami, AmiTCP, Genesis.
Created with and tested on A4000T/68060 AmigaOS3.9 and MiamiDX.
Both an Arexx script and a Rexecute compiled version of the script
for 68k AmigaOS is provided. This 68k executable causes a
GrimReaper on OS4.x. The Arexx script operates correctly on OS4.x
and should work on other Amiga-like systems with full ARexx
support, though this is untested.
Usage for Convert.rexx:
RX Convert.rexx <Amount> <From> <To>
e.g. RX Convert.rexx 1 AUD USD
Usage for Convert:
Convert "<Amount> <From> <To>"
e.g. Convert "1 AUD USD"
The compiled version of Convert must be run from the CLI (command
line) and requires quotation marks around the arguments, which is
something to do with Rexecute. Floating point numbers are accepted
by both scripts.
RX Convert.rexx 1.75 AUD USD
Convert "1.75 AUD USD"
See https://free.currencyconverterapi.com/ for a full list of
currency codes. Requires a CSS capable web browser.
v0.6 2002 Michael Trebilcock
Final Aminet release of Convert using xe.com
v0.7 24/4/2010 Anthony Hoffman
Re-wrote script to source currency conversion from finance.yahoo.com
v0.8 1/2/2014 Anthony Hoffman
The Host: header field is now sent in the server request due to a
change on the finance.yahoo.com server which resulted in a return
of error 404 unless the Host: header field is sent as specified
in RFC2616-sec5
An invalid currency type of UKP is now converted to GBP
v0.9 12/11/2017 Anthony Hoffman
The finance.yahoo.com API was discontinued on 6th November 2017,
changed script to use the free.currencyconverterapi.com API instead

American Crossroads Spends Big Bucks in Hopes of Helping GOP Regain Control of Congress
The Karl Rove-linked American Crossroads was quickly dubbed the "shadow Republican National Committee" when it was launched earlier this year, and a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of campaign spending shows it seems to be living up to that moniker — although it might be more accurately been called the "shadow National Republican Senatorial Committee."
American Crossroads and its sister organization Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies have together spent about $18 million on independent expenditures during the first 21 days of October, most of that on television advertisements and mailings in top-tier U.S. Senate races.
This amount is more than either the NRSC or the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spent on such activities during the same period, the Center's research shows.
In fact, during the first three weeks of October, the two affiliated Crossroads groups spent just $3.5 million less than the National Republican Congressional Committee — and $15 million less than the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
During the past three weeks, the spending by all five of these groups has soared, the Center's research indicates. Here's a chart showing their cumulative spending on independent expenditures between Oct. 1 and Oct. 21.
Together, these six groups have spent more than $100 million in the past three weeks on expenditures expressly advocating for or against their preferred candidates.
|Total Independent
Expenditures Oct. 1 – 21
|Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
|National Republican Congressional Committee
|American Crossroads + Crossroads GPS
|Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee
|National Republican Senatorial Committee
American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS have reportedly blown through their initial fund-raising goal of $50 million to spend on the 2010 midterm elections — and they have set a new goal of raising $65 million, Bloomberg reported last week.
As OpenSecrets Blog reported Thursday, American Crossroads alone has raised $24.17 million between March and Oct. 13, the date of the most recent campaign finance reports — much of that from corporations and wealthy businessmen, including Texas home builder Bob Perry, famous for his financial support of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ($7 million); B. Wayne Hughes, chairman of Public Storage Inc. ($2.55 million); Robert Rowling, chief executive officer of TRT Holdings ($2.5 million); and Trevor Rees-Jones, the president and chief executive of Chief Oil and Gas ($2 million). Rowlings' TRT Holdings has contributed an additional $2.5 million as well.
At that time, American Crossroads still had nearly $7.9 million cash on hand.
Crossroads GPS's total receipts, meanwhile, will only be known once it files an annual report with the Internal Revenue Service in 2011. That's because Crossroads GPS is organized under section 501(c)4 of U.S. tax code as a social welfare group, meaning its primary purpose is not politics. As such, it not required to disclose who has funded it.
Of the $18 million these two linked groups have spent on independent expenditures, slightly more than half of it, or $8.96 million, has come via Crossroads GPS, which grants donors anonymity. About $8.8 million has come from American Crossroads, whose donors are known.
Top-tier Senate races have long been the target of American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. The GOP needs to win a net 11 seats to take control of the U.S. Senate, and if Republicans pull off that feat, spending by American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS will have certainly played a part.
The two groups have advocated against Republican-turned-independent U.S. Senate candidate Charlie Crist in Florida and twelve Democratic Senate candidates in hot races — namely, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), Jack Conway in Kentucky, Alexi Giannoulias in Illinois, Joe Manchin in West Virginia, Robin Carnahan in Missouri, Lee Fisher in Ohio, Paul Hodes in New Hampshire and Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania.
They've also touted Republican Senate candidates, including Marco Rubio in Florida, Sharron Angle in Nevada, Dino Rossi in Washington and Rob Portman in Ohio.
The only high-interest Senate races where neither group has not (yet) reported making independent expenditures are Delaware, Connecticut and Alaska.
In the former, Tea Party darling Christine O'Donnell, who bested Rep. Michael Castle in a Republican primary last month, is challenging Democrat Chris Coons in an open seat election. In Connecticut, Republican Linda McMahon has invested more than $40 million of her personal funds into her race against Democrat Richard Blumenthal. And in Alaska, a three-way race is underway as Democrat Scott McAdams battles Republican Joe Miller and incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who lost a primary challenge to Miller in late August but who remained in the race as a write-in candidate.
More recently, American Crossroads has also begun making independent expenditures in U.S. House races, including opposing Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Texas) in the state's 17th Congressional District, Democrat Colleen Hanabusa in Hawaii's 1st Congressional District and Democrat Ami Bera in California's 3rd Congressional District.
American Crossroads is perhaps the most high-profile "Super PAC," the new breed of political committee spawned in the wake of the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling in January and a federal court's March decision in SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election Commission. These two rulings loosened campaign finance rules by allowing corporations to directly fund expenditures that expressly advocate for or against federal candidates and by allowing groups to raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions and individuals to make such expenditures.
Previously, advertisements that expressly advocated for or against federal candidates could only be paid for by limited contributions — $5,000 per year from individuals and PACs — and corporations were barred from using general treasury funds to even mention or show an image of a federal candidate in a targeted broadcast message within 60 days of the general election.
Center for Responsive Politics researchers Spencer MacColl and Matthias Jaime contributed to this report.

Welcome to the Feature & Follow
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!
How does this work?
The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow our Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don't have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed. All features are chosen randomly to be the feature. They are not chosen by content or name.
Our Feature this week:
Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!
When did you start blogging?
I actually started blogging back in 2007 and my blog has transitioned a lot since then. It use to be on blogger, but now I moved it to wordpress and lost a lot of bloggers I had since wordpress doesn't do GFC followers. So I am currently trying to regain my followers using bloglovin. 🙂
What is your favorite part of book blogging?
Being able to have an outlet to talk about the books I read or listen too. No one in my family really reads that much, so I don't have anyone to chat books with.
What type of books do you mainly blog about?
Oh I blog about a lot of different types of books. I also have a blog buddy and it seems like what I don't blog about she does so we pretty much tackle most genres. My favorites are YA paranormal, paranormal romance, mystery/thrillers, horror and historical romances.
What is your favorite book(s)?
Persuasion by Jane Austen, The Drake Chronicles by Alyxandra Harvey and many more. 🙂
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
Getting books from publishers and interacting with other bloggers about books!
This weeks Question:
What living author or authors would you like to have dinner with? (Try to think beyond JK Rowling)
New Feature! Next weeks question will be a share.
Have you met a favorite author and have a picture? Share.

- If you are using WordPress or another CMS that doesn't have GFC (Google Friends Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be followed
- Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "HI"
- If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love…and the followers
- If you're new to the follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!

About the music Verdi had little interest in religion, but he responded to the drama in Catholic texts much in the same way that he responded to an opera libretto. The mood of the Requiem changes frequently—Verdi contrasts the whispered prayers for the dead with a truly terrifying Dies irae, depicting wrath, judgement, the last trumpet and the final prayer for eternal rest. And although he surely had visions of the 'heavenly hosts' trumpeting and dancing their way around the Almighty when he composed the Sanctus, his inspiration for the Agnus Dei seems more likely to have been sinners pleading on earth.

Conducting the whole concert will be the Principal Conductor of The Really Big Chorus, Brian Kay, and we are thrilled to be working with experienced soloists all of whom have sung with The Really Big Chorus on previous occasions: Helena Dix (soprano); Victoria Simmonds (mezzo-soprano); Andrew Staples (tenor) and Ashley Riches (bass-baritone).

I apologize to my British readers because this is an American money joke. Let me explain. We sometimes call dollars "bucks." So, how much does a pirate pay for corn? A buck an ear. [Of corn, I mean.] So one dollar per ear of corn. And a buccaneer is a type of pirate, so you see the relation now, I'm sure. Though you probably knew that because the movies tell me that lots of pirates [buccaneers?] have British accents. So while you may not use American money, my British friend, you may be related to a pirate.
Mondays are for dissecting jokes and making assumptions. Amen.
If I understood it would have been funny!! Maybe tomorrow I will laugh hard!!
Hahahaha 🙂 I think I'm laughing more at the fact that you dissected the joke in great detail… that was adorable!! God bless!

He worked with the NCVO to create what became Local Compact Voice, part of Compact Voice chaired then by Sir Michael Bichard and latterly Sir Michael Kelly. Richard chaired Local Compact Voice throughout his time at SAVO and COVER and membership increased to 250 members and the profile and understanding of the sector's relationship with local government increased as well. Richard's network includes many inspiring social entrepreneurs and they have influenced his growing interest in the parts of the sector which can build social capital and influence public service by transforming lives. This has developed into a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing a public service provider or organisation aiming to trigger systemic change. It has informed how he coaches CEOs to develop effective strategy with appropriate scale and finance. Richard has become increasingly interested in the value generated by social enterprise, the discipline of the business model, fit for this century's social development and economic challenges.

Many are wanting to keep up with our shop projects so we have introduced 2 new ways to follow:
Blog and our Facebook Pages
ASAE 3 Point Specifications

Montauk has often humorously been called "The Last Resort" due to its singular location at the very tip of Long Island. When travelers arrive, however, they quickly discover that this area offers enough stores, sights, and scenery to keep them coming back time and again. With 6 state parks in its vicinity, as well as crystalline waters and miles of sandy beaches, the town's idyllic setting is perfect for anything from family vacations to college getaways. A range of Montauk vacation rentals, from beachfront cottages to central condos, are standing by, ready for you to start your vacation on just the right note.
The Montauk way of life has always been about mixing laid-back tranquility and refined glamour, so it's the perfect place to treat yourself to a little pampering. Indulge in some retail therapy with stores designed to sell the Montauk lifestyle. You'll find quirky trinkets, one-of-a-kind jewelry, and funky fashions in boutiques throughout the city. You can also wind down with some spa pampering; halotherapy is a particular specialty in the region. This salt therapy is great for stress relief and relaxation, while Reiki and massages are just what you need to unwind in style.
Construction on the Montauk Point Lighthouse was completed in 1796, making it New York's oldest lighthouse and the 4th oldest active model in America. The Montauk Lighthouse Museum displays the congressional authorization for its construction, signed by Thomas Jefferson, as well as the land-purchase agreement signed by George Washington in 1792. The museum is located in the preserved 1860 keeper's house and also houses a number of other artifacts and documents. The nearby E. Virgil and Elaine Wingate Conway Visitor Center has an open-air patio that offers stellar views over the bay.
Summer is the most popular period to visit Long Island and is also the hardest time to find Montauk vacation rentals. Temperatures average in the high 70s during the day, with water temperatures much the same, and southwesterly winds keeping things comfortable. The Atlantic Ocean has a moderating effect on the climate, so spring starts late and fall lasts through November. This makes these shoulder months an appealing time to snap up Montauk vacation rentals and make the most of smaller crowds and better availability. You can also book for the mild winter months if a festive break is more to your taste.
Spread over 99 acres, Shadmoor State Park is located a quarter of a mile from Montauk Village. The reservation is home to 2,400 feet of beach, as well as bluffs, freshwater wetlands, and hiking trails. A number of elevated platforms also dot the area, providing the perfect vantage points for admiring the coast or bird-watching. Black-cherry trees are also common, as well as clusters of endangered sand-plain gerardia plants. Dogs are allowed on leashes; if you've taken advantage of one of the many nearby pet-friendly Montauk vacation rentals then this is the best spot to walk them.

CA Valley Industries has introduced a new
Under-Bed 5th Wheel Hitch System™ that allows pickup trucks
to be quickly outfitted for towing or cargo carrying by eliminating
the use of in-bed base rails.
The Under-Bed System allows the 5th Wheel Hitch
to mount directly to cross tubes, which are attached under the
bed to the vehicle frame with scissor clamps, and secure the hitch
to the mounting brackets above. This assembly makes the hitch
easily removable for full use of the pickup bed.
"If you use your truck to tow and to haul,
the Under-Bed System is ideal for you," said Bryan Fletcher,
president, Valley Industries. "The hitch can be easily installed
and removed, depending upon the task at hand. We offer truck owners
maximum utility from their vehicles."
Valley offers a single (part #70650 - rated for
15,000 lbs.) and double (part#70660 rated for 16,000 lbs.)
pivot 5th Wheel Hitch for use with the Under-Bed System. Both
feature a one-piece jaw for easy hooking and uncoupling of the
trailer. The jaw also serves to eliminate annoying rattling noise
by wrapping around and securely capturing the kingpin. Each hitch
also utilizes a pop-out indicator to provide visual confirmation
that the kingpin is in the proper hook-up position. A positive
latch system with dual locking devices and a removable handle
are employed as enhanced safety measures.
The dual-pivot hitch makes additional use of high-impact
rubber bumpers to cushion the pivot movement and a 4º angular
pivot to provide tighter control of the tilt and help prevent
truck bed damage.
Valley's Under-Bed mounting bracket system
is currently available for 1999-2002 Ford Super Duty trucks (part#70600),
1994-2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500s (part# 70601) and 1999-2002
Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups (part#70602). The Under-Bed
System prevents the 5th Wheel Hitch from touching the bed of your
pickup and can be used in conjunction with bedliners.
Each Valley 5th Wheel Hitch and Under-Bed mounting
bracket system is powdercoated with polyester paint for superior
rust protection, and comes with a five-year limited warranty.

IF MICHAEL Owen wanted reassuring about the decision to exchange the adulation of Anfield for a battle for recognition at the Bernabeu, then the return to his spiritual home was worth the journey yesterday.
The Christmas fixture list has been kind to Liverpool this year with the Premiership's bottom two providing weak opposition for tired limbs and six welcome points.
It will have taken more than an unconvincing defeat of struggling Southampton to prompt any pangs of regret in Owen, especially as he sat in the Anfield directors box sporting a fine Iberian tan and enjoying his first taste of a winter break.
Yet there was still enough from Liverpool to record their first hat-trick of wins under Rafael Benitez and, more importantly, to show their illustrious observer that the club he left behind is becoming an effective team unit once again.
The Liverpool manager gained a reputation at Valencia for building teams that were low on stars, high in organisation and able to finish a season stronger than even the galacticos of Madrid.
And though Saturday's visit of Chelsea will offer a sterner examination of their Premiership credentials than either Southampton or West Bromwich Albion have done this Christmas, the evidence continues to grow that Benitez can deliver the vast improvement in 2005 he has always promised.
Steven Gerrard was again man of the match but with Florent Sinama-Pongolle providing the match-winner in the absence of the injured Milan Baros, Xabi Alonso delivering another immaculate assist and the promise of new faces next month, responsibility for a Champions League finish has finally been adopted by more than just the captain and Jamie Carragher.
In the 17 days since the Goodison derby defeat, Liverpool have halved the 12-point deficit on Everton. The process of pulling in the leading pack is now well underway.
The second leg of a hectic festive schedule is always an issue of points not performance, and so while Liverpool will not dwell on their eighth home win of the season they can take comfort in a job well done.
For most of the first half it appeared the passing, movement and control that destroyed West Bromwich Albion had been left at The Hawthorns as a sloppy, careless performance enabled Southampton to cling onto the point that was clearly the height of their ambitions. Well, almost.
One minute before the break Liverpool grabbed their lead with a goal completely out of context with the previous 43 minutes and even at that point the victory seemed assured.
Spanish duo Alonso and Luis Garcia are more accustomed to holidaying than playing at this time of year and it showed, with the winger particularly culpable of wasting possession at every opportunity.
But Alonso made amends for his subdued start with one penetrating pass that dissected the visiting defence and gave Sinama-Pongolle his second Premiership goal in two games.
New Southampton manager Harry Redknapp elected to field Dexter Blackstock as a lone striker rather than risk James Beattie ahead of his impending departure from St Mary's. But the decision backfired as the teenager's sole contribution was to instigate Liverpool's breakthrough with a mis-placed pass straight to Alonso.
The playmaker breezed through an empty midfield, threaded the ball between Danny Higginbotham and Martin Cranie and Sinama-Pongolle applied a measured finish beneath Antti Niemi.
If the quality of the goal was unlike anything that preceded or followed it then so was the accuracy from Sinama-Pongolle's boot. As at the Hawthorns, the young flyer was again a potent outlet, but with more composure in front of goal he would have been celebrating a hat-trick.
The striker hit the sidenetting from a similar position to the goal in the 11th minute and put two other efforts high into the Kop in the second half following an intelligent cut-back from Gerrard and his own piece of skill on the edge of the Southampton area.
A Neil Mellor drive and a John Arne Riise shot apart, however, Sinama-Pongolle at least offered the potency this Liverpool display desperately needed - especially with their defence uncharacteristically vulnerable throughout.
Southampton lacked both the firepower and quality to suggest a way back but were offered more hope than they ever deserved by a nervous home defence.
Three minutes after the restart the visitors almost drew level when Jerzy Dudek completely missed a long throw by Rory Delap and Jamie Carragher had to clear off the line. But the keeper was by no means the only culprit as Redknapp's team were presented with several Christmas gifts by their generous hosts, though they unwrapped none.
Liverpool still had too much for the struggling Saints and twice came close to banishing any fears of a repeat of the Portsmouth throwaway in the final quarter.
Riise was presented with another opportunity to show the unerring accuracy of his left foot by a stunning crossfield volley from Gerrard in the 78th minute. But having waltzed around Paul Telfer the Norwegian's thunderous shot cannoned off the crossbar and into safety.
Two minutes later Garcia's header forced Niemi into a desperate save at his bottom corner following a fine run and cross from lively substitute Antonio Nunez, and the visiting keeper was also fortunate to escape a blatant penalty box foul on Riise in stoppage time. Thankfully there was to be no repeat of Portsmouth yesterday, a game Benitez admitted was playing on Liverpool minds as they struggled to land a second blow past Niemi.
Another costly setback would inevitably have switched attention towards the lethal marksman enjoying his Christmas in the stand rather than on the Anfield turf. But Owen, and Liverpool, have moved on.
LIVERPOOL (4-4-2): >Dudek; Finnan (Diao 29), Carragher, Hyypia, Warnock; Garcia (Hamann 87), Gerrard, Alonso, Riise; Mellor (Nunez 68), Sinama-Pongolle. Subs: Traore, Harrison.
SOUTHAMPTON (4-5-1):> Niemi; Telfer, Jakobsson, Higginbotham, Cranie; Ormerod, Prutton, Oakley (Svensson 58), Delap, McCann; Blackstock (Phillips 65). Subs: Smith, Yahia, Folly.
BOOKINGS:> Prutton, McCann, Jakobsson (fouls)
REFEREE: >Mark Halsey
NEXT GAME:> Liverpool v Chelsea, Premiership, Saturday 12.45pm

Here are pictures from Halloween through the beginning of December. We've been busy and done a lot. Oliver was a shark for Halloween which he loved. He was telling everyone he was going to eat them up. I remember thinking it was so cold that day. Wow was I wrong. We went to California in the beginning of November to visit with two families we adopted with and to see our family. I'll post separate pictures of the kids from Vietnam. There are too many to go through right now. We had a great time seeing everyone in California.
We did so much with our family. Oliver loved visiting everyone in CA, Aunt Mary, Uncle Mike and Olivia, but he especially loved his cousin Elise. She is older than him and great with him. They were adorable together. Oliver cried for days about leaving Elise. For about a week he would ask when we were going back.
The pictures are out of order. Sorry. It was a lot to go through. Next I'll go through December and post more about what Oliver's been up too. He is nonstop action which is another reason I can never post to this blog. I want to because I feel like time is flying and I'm forgetting everything. Oliver is so much fun. He brings such joy to our lives and the lives of our friends and families. We are lucky.

Maple Bacon Donuts {dairy, egg + gluten free}
Makes 10-12 donuts
- 2 cups gluten free all purpose flour (I like Namaste Perfect Flour Blend)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cup almond milk (or other dairy-free milk), at room temperature
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1/4 tsp maple extract
Glaze & Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp brewed coffee
- 1/4 tsp maple extract
- pinch of salt
- Bacon, cooked and crumbled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, coconut oil, vinegar and maple extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Spoon the batter into a piping bag and pipe evenly into each well of the donut pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until tops are set and beginning to lightly brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool approximately 5 minutes. Carefully remove donuts and allow them to cool on a cooling rack.
For the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coffee, maple extract, and salt. Carefully dip the top of each donut into the glaze to coat. Place back on the rack and allow any excess icing to drip off. Top with crumbled bacon.

Quoting amanecer
hy nuts, just 2 words.
maybe I told you in some other thread..remember to convalidate the ticket in the little yellow boxes (that you 'll see inside the station and along the platforms) before catching a train. If you buy a return ticket, you've to convalidate twice, both when you leave and when you come back.
If you forgot at all, and the inspectore came, you would risk a fine.
if you remember on the train ,during the journey, and the inspector hasn't still come, you can write on the ticket: station where you leave from, departing time of the train (always the one scheduled, not the real one, in case of delays ) and the date. For example: Rome, 20/04/2006, 15.34. That could be (hopefully) ok.(Sometimes happened to me, and it was enough)
I heard at the television today that more than 70% italians will use the car during easter vacations, and that there'll be many additional trains due to a lot of reservations. (just let you know).
weather forecast are good for friday, sat and sunday, sunny and warm (around 20 degrees C), probably monday it will be cloudy and rainy.
If you have any question I can reply you until tomorrow afternoon.(I'm not going to use internet during w end).
In any case I hope you'll have a great holiday, and looking forward to read your italian experience when you'll come back!
cheers, laura
I will definately try and remember this!
70% of italians! Wow...when you say during easter vacation, I'm presuming you mean Sun and Mon? Otherwise, this shouldn't be a problem. not too shabby.
Thank you for the headsup regarding the weather...good to know!
A couple more questions before we call this a done deal. Hehehehe...a lot more just can't think under the pressure as the weekend comes closer.
1. Arricia, any mass transportation to get there? I don't think I will want to rent a car just for one day.
2. Cinque Terre, I read somewhere that the 25th, it will get crazy there. This will shake up my itinerary because according to the revised itinerary of going to florence, cinque terre then last venice, 25th of April hits right where we are going to be...in cinque terre.
Will this cause accomodation problems or it's just a one day indedendence event similar to the US's Independence Day, fireworks, and not really crazy.

It's hard enough to find even a flicker of heat inside a white opal. I'm mystified that this black opal is capable of raging with such an intensity, almost inferno-like. Where one may find a blur from yellow to green, this Art Deco "Lightning Ridge" black opal ring features broad sharp strokes of fiery red across the color wheel to moody violet.
You can't see it, but engraved inside the ring are the letters WB. Lang Antiques opines on their website that it could be an heirloom from the possessions of either of the infamous German Weinrich brothers who, like the alchemist, turned their parched grains into gold.
Winston, if you're reading this, here's what you need to know: Item No. 30-1-7067.
For everyone else:
Size 6
.60 cttw
For those who don't know, black opals are the most rare of all opals. If you stumble across one and for a fair price--snatch it up and don't ever let it out of your possession, unless passing it down as an heirloom.

Moon's suggestion of forming a regional community came at an annual summit with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, known as the ASEAN Plus Three. The regional forum involves the leaders of all 10 ASEAN countries, plus the leaders of South Korea, Japan and China.
On the sidelines of the event in Manila, Moon also met with Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, seeking to strengthen Seoul's relationship with the two countries.
"As a result of our long friendship and cooperation despite many difficulties under the (1997 Asian financial) crisis, ASEAN, South Korea, Japan and China have come to account for 30 percent of the global economy. Overcoming the crisis through our joint efforts has become a valuable asset," Moon said in his opening remarks.
"Let us build a community of peace in the East Asian region with our own efforts, which saw us through the Asian financial crisis 20 years ago," he added.
The South Korean leader earlier proposed forming a regional community to ensure peace and co-prosperity.
"President Moon stressed the need to further develop the ASEAN Plus Three, which helps protect the lives of people in the region, noting the countries' cooperation played a pivotal role in successfully overcoming the 1997 Asian financial crisis," the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said.
Moon called for additional efforts to further liberalize trade and deepen economic integration in the region, along with efforts to enhance the countries' joint food security.
"Noting increased cooperation in such areas will contribute to raising the connectivity of ASEAN, President Moon introduced plans to strengthen our cooperation in those areas by expanding exchanges and our support for human resources development," Cheong Wa Dae said in a press release.
The South Korean president also vowed efforts to increase his country's cooperation with Japan and China to help achieve an East Asian community.
Turning to North Korean issues, Moon asked the ASEAN countries and the two Northeast Asian nations to help peacefully end the nuclear standoff, stressing the need to maintain maximum pressure and sanctions against the North.
In his meeting with the Singaporean leader, the two sides agreed to expand their countries' bilateral cooperation, vowing joint efforts to prepare their nations for the "fourth industrial revolution."
"While noting South Korea and Singapore have maintained close cooperative ties in various areas, including politics, economy and personnel exchange, and that they have especially developed a close partnership in the areas of infrastructure and trade, the two leaders agreed to continue their close cooperation to make sure their relationship will continue to develop," Cheong Wa Dae said of the Moon-Lee summit.
Moon said he hoped to see increased cooperation between the two countries in the "fourth industrial revolution," highlighting they are both striving for industrial innovation as a way of creating new growth engines, Cheong Wa Dae said in a press release.
The Singaporean leader said there will be great opportunities for bilateral cooperation and proposed the countries enhance their cooperation within the ASEAN framework, according to Cheong Wa Dae.
Moon also asked for Singapore and ASEAN's continued support for his country's efforts to peacefully denuclearize North Korea. In response, Lee said his country will continue to support South Korea for a peaceful resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue and establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
The meeting with the Russian prime minister, which came about two months after Moon's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, served to confirm Russia's desire to aid peaceful resolution of the North Korean nuclear situation.
In the meeting, Medvedev underscored the importance of Seoul-Moscow ties and said that Russia can never accept North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
The Russian prime minister said Russia supports South Korea's position on peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, which is directly linked to the security of Russia, Moon's chief press secretary Yoon Young-chan said in a press release.
They also agreed to accelerate ongoing negotiations between South Korea and the Eurasian Economic Union for a free trade agreement.
"Prime Minister Medvedev said his country was willing to work closely with the South Korean side for the Korea-EAEU FTA," Yoon said in a press release, adding the Russian prime minister also expressed hope for increased cooperation between the two countries in the fishery and agriculture sectors.

Norwich Union League Division Two
Glamorgan beat Middlesex by 40 runs
Glamorgan 272/4
Middlesex 232/8
Robert Croft plundered his first century in one-day cricket and then struck two vital blows with the ball as National League Second Division champions Glamorgan ended their season with a comfortable 40-run win over a young Middlesex side in Cardiff.
Despite losing openers Keith Newell and Jimmy Maher inside the first 13 overs, Glamorgan posted a formidable 272 for four and Middlesex were never able to match a required run rate marginally in excess of six an over.
Middlesex were held to 232 for eight and Glamorgan's Steve Watkin, who officially retired after the match although the Welsh county will retain his registration, was given a standing ovation as he bowled the last over of the match and the season.
Croft and Steve James provided the backbone of the Glamorgan total by lifting them from 59 for two with a third-wicket partnership of 181 in 29 overs.
The England off-spinner hit two fours and a six, all straight drives over the in-field, in one over from Simon Cook and reached his 50 from just 47 balls.
He had a life when on 57, offering a return catch that Jamie Dalrymple could not hold despite getting both hands to the ball, and again on 73 when Ed Joyce just failed to pick up his lofted drive to mid-wicket.
James moved to his half-century with a straight six off Cook and had reached 93 from 94 balls with seven fours and a six when he went down the wicket and was stumped.
There was a chance that Croft might not get to three figures before the overs ran out but he made it off the second ball of the final over with a single off Paul Weekes.
After Darren Thomas had taken a single off the next ball, Croft finished in style with two sixes and a two to end unbeaten on 114 from 111 balls with 10 fours and three sixes.
John Maunders, dropped at second slip before he had scored, and Owais Shah gave Middlesex a solid start by putting together 87 in 18 overs for the first wicket before Croft struck in his opening over by inducing Shah to edge a ball that drifted away and give wicketkeeper Matthew Maynard the catch.
Maunders soon followed, leg before wicket driving down the wrong line, and although Cook weighed in with a fighting 50 at exactly a run a ball and hitting three fours and a six, Middlesex had little left to offer.
Glamrogan: K Newell, JP Maher, RDB Croft,*SP James, +MP Maynard, MJ Powell, A Dale, SD Thomas, AP Davies,OT Parkin, SL Watkin.
Middlesex: MS Compton, JK Maunders, OA Shah, EC Joyce, SJ Cook, *PN Weekes, JWM Dalrymple, +DC Nash, CB Keegan, AJ Coleman, TF Bloomfield.

So you may or may not have seen this article trending on the internet, if not, give it a read because it's beautiful and shows the gospel so well!
When reading it, I could totally relate- no, not because my husband was wild in high school, but because I was and many of the moments captured in the above article I experienced with my now-husband. If you met me now you wouldn't recognize the girl I was in high school- I drank, a lot, partied, serial dated, and had very little self respect (among many other things). My senior superlative in high school was "party animal" enough said. My husband I have joked many times about how much we would have dislikes the other in high school, we were so different from each other and from who we are now.
I cringe thinking about some of the decisions I made and for a long time I carried a lot of the guilt and shame associated, but that's the beauty of The Gospel, my sin and shame is covered, washed away, and I'm left sparkling and beautiful. For years I had to battle my old self, I had to overcome the temptation to slip into my old ways, I had to find my identity in Christ and not in who I used to be.
|Yeah, I was tan. Also, my friend did my eyebrows so don't judge.
One of the hardest parts of my reckless decisions wasn't how it wrecked me, but how I saw it break my husband's heart. My husband is truly amazing and a great man of God, so when it came time for me to share my past with him (before we were married, or engaged), I could do so without fear- though I could tell it hurt him, never once did he look at me differently. As a couple we had to battle some of the pain that was brought upon us, but we couldn't have done that without The Lord's strength and guidance.
Ultimately I had to remember that my life before my husband was also my life before Jesus.
Often I reflect on my life and wish that my parents had lead me more to The Lord, not that I'm blaming them for their decisions because they were wonderful parents, but sometimes I feel as if I could have saved myself from a lot of grief if I had known Jesus sooner in life, but thinking like that is terrible. God has a perfect plan, and though He wills for us to do good, so frequently our free will allows us to learn lessons, however painful they may be. Without my past life I wouldn't know the redeeming power of The Gospel to the extent that I do, I wouldn't be able to share my story with others, and I wouldn't be who I am today.
|So thankful for this sweet guy-- almost 5 years ago!
While I'm not proud of the things I've done, I'm thankful for what I've learned and I'm ever more thankful for Jesus, because through Him I can let go of it all.

What's the wonderful thing about Tiggers? Well, Tiggers are wonderful things! It may have taken a few decades, but Tigger finally got his own feature film. Kind of. Sure Winnie, Piglet, Own, Kanga, Roo, and the rest are all there, but The Tigger Movie focuses on Tigger (of course) and his quest to find his real family. The film featured score by Harry Gregson-Williams and songs by famed Disney songwriters Robert and Richard Sherman. While there was not a conventional soundtrack release for this film, there was a "Songs and Story" album, which comes close enough.
We first start off with a nice abridged version of the film (meant to be read along with the storybook that's included with the package), as narrated by Roy Dotrice (who I remember best as Leopold Mozart in Amadeus). It's a nice story to listen to, and parents and children alike will feel warm in its message of hope, friendship, and love. The underscore seems to be rather subdued, and consists primarily of the "Winnie the Pooh" theme song (orchestral, of course). I doubt that this is the work of Gregson-Williams, as his name doesn't appear anywhere on the album.
After the story has ended, we are provided with seven delightful songs. The classic "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" is presented here, as well as "Pooh's Lullabee" and "Round My Family Tree". All of these songs (and the others) are heartfelt and a joy to listen to. As someone who grew up watching Winnie the Pooh on film and television, it was a pleasure to hear some of the older songs, as well as experience some of the new ones. The Sherman Brothers still have the touch!
The last song on the album is a new song by Kenny Loggins. This song is a brilliant piece of work, and Loggins performs it with such emotion and energy, that I will be seriously disappointed if it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. The disc runs a hair under 30 minutes long, but it comes with a nice 40-page storybook filled with artwork from the film, and I think kids and parents will find it a job to read and listen to.

"Everything you can Imagine is Real"
– Pablo Picasso
As life imitates art and art imitates life, much of my imagination is fueled by art and artists around the world. I want much of my life to be art as only art is the proper taste of life. Great artists like Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso among many others have inspired us to dream and create beyond ourselves. And hence, today being the World Art Day, I have decided to give back and make a minuscule contribution to the vast yet fascinating world of art.
For this project, I collaborated with Hidesign, a company so vested in art and craftsmanship that they have an Exclusive collection of hand painted bags by Artist Amrita Nambiar. The theme was Alice in Wonderland and we set out to create wonderland on my body through just paint and makeup.
I am lucky to be surrounded by talented and creative people in my life, people who can create emotions, arouse passion and transcend reality. I worked with the immensely talented fine art artist, Indumathi Swamy from Bangalore, trying her hand at body paint for the first time, and yet excelling in creating such a mind blowing work of art on my body. All credits goes out to the rest of the crew who made this come alive and assured me of the fact that you can create all that you imagine.

text: As a teenager in 1960s Alabama, Jimmy Ellis' wonderful singing voice was unlike any other… except, that is, for one Elvis Presley. Hampered by his over-resemblance to the King, Jimmy's own singing career floundered. Then, in 1979, he found fame as a masked singer called "Orion," a persona deliberately evolved to create intrigue in the wake of Presley's untimely death. Over the next years he played to legions of grieving Elvis fans and developed his own fanatical fan base, many of whom remained in willful denial about the true identity of their masked idol. With his contract stipulating that he never remove his disguise in public, Ellis' success came at a high price for a singer still hoping to succeed on his own terms. Finlay's nuanced portrait of Ellis serves as a riveting cautionary tale of the music industry, and a memorable exploration of fame and identity.

In all seriousness and aside from jokes about chocolate, it should be known that each woman experiences menstruation and her period differently. For some, premenstrual syndrome is no big deal, but for others, it can be extremely painful and quite possibly crippling. Victoria Dariano shared a side-by-side photo on Instagram showing just how serious PMS can be for some people.
On the left side was how she felt in the morning, which was normal, and the right photo was from about five hours later, once PMS hit her.
Dariano opened up about struggling with painful PMS symptoms, which many others can probably relate to.
Instead of working out like she planned to after she took the now-viral pic, she decided to do what was best for her body at the time and rest.
Most importantly, she didn't beat herself up over her decision to put her well-being first.
Others praised Dariano for her post, relating to her experiences with such debilitating PMS symptoms.

Are you ready for a career change? Read this article to learn some practical tips on how you can start working your way toward a new career now with no experience.
Today's employees spend the majority of their time at work or doing work-related activities. Unfortunately, studies have shown that:
71 percent of employees are not engaged at work and are looking for new employment opportunities.
Unhappiness at work stems from a variety of reasons including:
- Limited compensation
- Time away from family on holidays and weekends
- The inability to 'move up the ladder'
For many, these roadblocks can be due to a lack of education or training or simply a lack of direction. If you need a career change but don't know how to start a new career with no experience, you're not alone.
A recent study found that: The average person changes jobs at least 12 times. The study also cited lack of career advancement and a mismatch of skills and abilities as primary reasons for the change.
If you find yourself asking how to find meaningful and energizing work, wondering how to get started, or exploring how more education can impact your quality of life and self worth, this article may be of some help to you.
Read on to learn more about the transition process as well as some of the fastest growing and best career change jobs on the market.
Learn How to Start Your Search for a New Career Field
If you feel like you've reached a dead end in your job and need a new opportunity, here are a few ways to get started on your journey:
Career Finding Task No. 1 – Make a List of Your Goals & Needs and Do Some Quick Research
- Make a list of reasons you don't like your current situation.
- Write a list of skills you already have in your toolbox.
- Identify the salary range you need to meet your financial goals.
- Create a list of companies who do meaningful work in your area.
- Research industries and career fields with a high level of projected growth.
From here, you can begin to focus on companies in the area that meet your requirements. The job search process can be overly intimidating if you don't have a clear direction. This brainstorming process is a great way to gain the focus and direction you need and deserve. You'll be able to spend your time more wisely and will feel more productive with a clear pathway.
Career Finding Task No. 2 – Take an Online Career Aptitude Quiz
Another way to gain some early momentum is to enlist the help of an online career quiz. These surveys are generally designed by experienced researchers and aim to measure your personality and aptitude. The assessments will direct you toward a career path that matches your survey results based on your responses. You might be surprised with the findings and feel refreshed with a new perspective.
Here are a two of the most highly recommended career interest tests on the market. Give one or both a try!
- Princeton Review Career Quiz – This online test is free. Answer 24 questions and it will give you a report of your 'personal interests' and 'usual style'. Login is required.
- Strengths Finder 2.0 – This is a paid test (or buy the book, ebook, app, or on-line test). Prices range from $10-89 and helps you identify your top 3-35 strengths. Created by Gallup.
Consider Furthering Your Education as a Stepping Stone to a New Career
Education level can have a huge impact on your ability to land certain jobs.
Recent career change statistics demonstrate that continuing education offers a great option if you don't know how to start a new career with no experience.
Generally, schooling does not require any experience within the given field. It is an opportunity to learn and expand your knowledge of the industry – without the pressure to perform in a work environment.
Do your research on vocational schools – Find out about schools and college in your community that offer programs in your area of interest.
Consider vocational training programs that offer internship or externship opportunities – You might want to look for curriculum that requires an internship experience. An internship can offer you additional skills and experiences that can improve your likelihood of landing a full time gig in your newly explored arena.
Vocational or Trades Careers Are Great Alternatives to Careers Requiring a 4-Year Degree
Obtaining a certificate or an associate degree in some sort of vocational work is a great route to a better and more fulfilling work situation. Here are just a few reasons why:
- Vocational schools generally require less of a time commitment.
- Vocational college career training programs typically last around 9-18 months.
- Throughout the program you'll learn skills that can be in high-demand and relevant in the workplace.
- These career colleges typically offer plenty of guidance and assistance with job search preparation, from helping you write your resume to preparing you for a critical interview in your new career field.
Vocational training is a great route for someone who may not have the time or resources to complete a full load of course work required with a 4-year university or master's program.
