If you've just passed your test, congratulations! The first challenge has been accomplished and now it's onto the next – finding cheap car insurance for young drivers. The fact is that car insurance for young people can be expensive. As a new driver on the road, you are more likely to be involved in an accident than a more experienced driver over the age of 25, and therefore insurance premiums for new and young drivers are calculated to reflect this risk. That's the bad news. The good news is that Bestmoneysaver can help you to save on young driver car insurance by comparing policies from some of the UK's most popular car insurance companies. That's more money to spend on the important things like petrol or those fluffy dice you've had your eye on.
First, let's bust a few myths about car insurance
If you've been told that third-party cover is cheaper than fully comprehensive cover, it might surprise you to know that this isn't always the case. In fact, lots of young drivers are enjoying all the benefits of a fully comp policy that cost them less than third party insurance with the same company would have done.
You might also have heard that it's cheaper to go direct with an insurance company. It's a common misconception that comparison services like Bestmoneysaver charge customers a fee to buy insurance through their website, but this is simply not the case. All of the quotes you see on our site come direct from the insurance company. We just make it easier to find them, and our service is totally free forever!
Another important myth to bust is that the cheapest policy isn't always the best. That's why it's so important to understand exactly what insurance cover you are buying and what it protects you against. By comparing cheap car insurance for young drivers using our comparison table, you can see instantly the cover details as well as the price you'll pay for your insurance, all in one place.
Black box insurance that rewards good drivers
You might have already heard about telematics car insurance, or black box insurance as it is sometimes called. This relatively new service uses satellite technology and a small transmitter device in your car to track your driving behaviour and habits. This information is relayed back to your insurance company and gives them lots of useful data such as your driving style, speed, driving patterns, etc. and allows your insurance company to build a profile. Put simply, if you drive safely and follow the rules of the road, you are very likely to be rewarded with lower insurance premiums. In fact, you could save an average of £385.
Tips for finding cheap car insurance for young drivers
Here are a number of tips and tricks that will help you to find a more affordable insurance policy for a young driver:
Compare car insurance quotes
Bestmoneysaver's car insurance comparison tool allows you to compare car insurance quotes for young drivers in an instant and find the best policy that suits your budget and motoring requirements. We have built strong relationships with some of the nation's most trusted insurers, including the high street names you know, love and trust.
Polish your driving skills
The better you drive, the more you can save. The government's Pass Plus scheme can help to reduce your premiums, as can adding a named driver to your insurance policy. If you consider yourself a good driver, you might want to consider telematics car insurance that rewards good drivers with lower insurance premiums.
Add a named main driver
The main driver should be the person who drives the car the most.
Pay a voluntary excess
You can also save a significant amount of money by paying your car insurance upfront or paying a voluntary excess.
Buying a cheaper car can also cut your premiums
While you may have your heart set on that souped-up coupe, unfortunately you're going to pay through the nose for your car insurance as a new young driver. It might be better to cool your engines and opt for a cheaper, slightly slower and more economical car for now. Not only will this save you money on the cost of your first car and petrol, but perfecting your driving skills and building a no-claims bonus will gradually make your car insurance cheaper for when you do buy the car of your dreams. Some of the cheapest cars to insure at the time of writing include the Fiat 500, Ford KA and Peugeot 107. They're nippy, fun and will help you to become accustomed to the road safely without blowing your budget.
Why use a comparison website for cheap car insurance for young drivers?
Years ago, you would have needed to call a number of insurance companies and repeat your details to each one before they could give you a quote. Back then, it wasn't uncommon for new drivers to spend half a day or more finding the right insurance deal. Then along came the internet and gave us back our time by helping us to track down the best insurance deal in moments. That's where our comparison engine comes in. Simply enter your details once and we'll present you with an easy at-a-glance list of the best insurance quotes for young drivers. These are deals from some of the country's top insurance companies, so you'll not only save money but get total peace of mind that you are choosing a good quality policy.
Whether you have just passed your test or you are a young driver looking for a renewal quote, we can help you to find the right deal for the right price. It takes moments to compare the latest deals, and our website is also packed with advice on how to bring down those premiums without compromising on the quality of cover.

Historical Reflections on Accountability
Imagine that almost all academics think of ourselves as responsible to others, and, if pressed, might allow substitution of "accountable." Responsibility to our employers is contractual, and the professional ethos urges responsibility to students (our clients), to colleagues, and to vague but strong principles of intellectual conduct that obtain in our disciplines. The professional idea calls for responsibility to society as well: we earn our privileges not just by guarding and augmenting our special bodies of knowledge, but by undertaking to put those knowledges to work for the good of all.

As most of you know, I've been pushing to get a LDT sandbox server we can all enjoy.
There was some talk about having a custom sandbox map for the server, and there's always a risk of it staying as just talk if someone doesn't start working on it
With that said, here's some info about the map I started working on:
Here's basically what the map looks like. 60% of the map is covered by grass, with a natural transition to water. The concrete square in the images is a temporary spawn that could evolve into something more useful.
This is an early WIP. posting it here because..
Hmmm I think we should work with more people together to produce a map that is more than just flatgrass with water.
I agree with psycix on this!
It would be great if other LDT mappers would like to collaborate .
There's been suggestions in the Sandbox topic about having a secondary underground area, and a LDT corner. And of course a good building at the spawn.
Is anyone interested in collaborating with making those things and/or are there suggestions what you'd like to see in a sandbox map?

The Basics
Game 1: Evangel 8, Concordia (Neb.) 3 | Box Score
Game 2: Evangel 1, Concordia (Neb.) 0 | Box Score
Records: Evangel (7-4); Concordia (0-2)
Location: Springfield, Mo. | Dick Birmingham Field
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Solid pitching for the Evangel baseball team helped the Crusaders sweep Concordia University Sunday afternoon, 8-3 and 1-0 in non-conference action.
Game One
Starter Derek Kennell improved to 2-1 on the season as he scattered six hits, struck out eight and walked none. Kennell allowed just three runs, all coming in the second inning and aided by a pair of home runs.
However, the junior left-hander settled in retiring 11 straight Bulldogs before a single to right in the top of the sixth ended the streak. Kennell would get a lineout to end the inning and work around a lead-off single in the seventh to close the win.
Evangel battled back to quickly tie the game in the bottom of the second inning when Patrick Gaul singled home Mason Baur and Dylan Bradshaw. Bradshaw walked to lead-off the inning and Baur followed with a one-out single. Gaul would score later in the inning to tie the game on a passed ball.
After a solo home run in the third inning from Tanner McVey, Evangel broke open the game in the fourth inning. The Crusaders scored four runs on five hits and an error starting with an RBI single from Jose Vargas.
McVey finished 3-for-4 while Baur also recorded multiple hits and scored two runs for Evangel.
Game Two
Dustin Eby earned his second win of the season tossing a complete game 1-hitter for the Crusaders. Eby walked just two Bulldog hitters and struck out nine to help Evangel to a 1-0 victory.
Patrick Gaul finished 2-for-3 as Evangel tallied five hits in the second game.
The lone run came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Tanner McVey scored on a wild pitch. McVey walked with one out and moved to third on a Ryan Frye double. The run proved to be enough for the Crusaders to seal their third straight win and sixth win in seven games.
Up Next
Evangel returns to campus to host Concordia in a double-header on Monday afternoon. First pitch from Crusader Field is scheduled for 12 p.m.

Hope you guys had a great weekend! Today we are sharing two opposite looks from Nordstrom that really show the difference in weather in our two cities – Dallas & New York. We're finishing up our holiday shopping, and 90% of our gifts for people are coming from Nordstrom lol…no surprise there ;).
I got home last night after spending a week at my parents house. I don't know why but I feel like a zombie today…I'm definitely hitting up Starbucks drive-thru right after I click publish! My parents are actually coming to Dallas this Saturday so I need to try and get the house put together before then. I'm still on the hunt for dining chairs, rugs, living room chair, side tables, plants…the list seems never ending!
I've worn these booties so much since I bought them a few weeks ago. I'm really taking advantage of the warm Dallas winter 😉 I would of never been able to wear them in Chicago!
Nordstrom has so many cute skirts right now! How cute is this wrap one and this glitter pleated one?! So perfect for the holidays!
It's officially winter in New York & we had our first real snow last night which was exciting – I love snow around Christmas! Sadly, it melted overnight…but hoping we will have a white Christmas! We bundled up over the weekend to head out and do some holiday shopping – the mall was SO busy (a lot of other people had the same idea lol). I picked up a few gifts for family, and this scarf (on sale!) & boots for myself at Nordstrom.
I've been wearing my puffy coats non-stop and this one never disappoints! It promises to keep you warm all the way down to -5 degrees F which is necessary in NY. Meggan has the same one, but I doubt she'll get much use out of it in Dalls ;).
I also grabbed a new nude lipstick (as if I actually need more lol), but this one from Nars is my absolute favorite – the shade is Rosecliff! I swear it's the perfect nude. I wore it with this liner (in shade Subculture).
coat (wearing xs) | jeans (on sale!) | bag | turtleneck (the BEST! wearing XS) | scarf | boots | mittens (similar) | sunglasses (similar, Céline in select Nordstrom stores)
More holiday favorites from Nordstrom…

"In the centre of a freezing, misty lake, a struggling writer's solitary fishing trip is disrupted by a strange creature from the bottom of a whiskey bottle." The Albatross is an animated short from the graduating class of UTS Honors 2015. My part in the making of this film was early story and visual development - mostly concept art, storyboarding and character design. The final film was directed, produced and animated by Joel Best, Alex Karonis and Alex Jeremy.

Today we're back with part two of Chris' update from Legoland California. Today we are taking you on a hard hat tour of the all new Deep Sea Adventure which includes lots of great pictures and a video we posted earlier in the week.
This attraction looks and sounds amazing and we can't wait to check it out.
If you missed the first part of Chris' update from the all new Legoland Castle Hotel be sure to check it out.
Written by Christopher Moghtaderi
(click any picture below to see a larger version)
Deep Sea Adventure is coming soon and as mentioned before, we had the opportunity to take a hard hat tour through the ride. Here is a photo of the outside as well as the concept art of what the exterior and the submarines are expected to look like.
Our first photo shows the majority of the track system followed by a photo of the pool and the track system. Because the ride includes live aquatic life, an underwater track system would be dangerous for the fish. You will also notice that the ride is relatively small but the ride moves very slowly which results in a 4-5-minute ride. I've included some photos of the concept art and models below.
The ride queue is nearing completion. As you can see, it's off to a fantastic start.
Here are some photos of the models that are inside the pool. Rather than using a metal internal frame, they used fiberglass to avoid rusting. The master builder was excited that this will be the first time they will maintain the models under water and they have gotten their scuba certifications.
Just because the hotel is being built and a new ride is being added, doesn't mean the park gets neglected. They are adding some exciting new models. As you can see by the signs, Mann's Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Bowl are two major features. According to one of the workers, the rest will continue the Southern California/Los Angeles theme.
Thanks again to Chris and his family for this amazing look at what's coming to Legoland California. We can't wait to see all of the new attractions!!

The ride will open in summer of 2018 and takes guests on a submarine ride looking for lost treasure on a sunken LEGO shipwreck. Among the real sea animals are bright LEGO octopi, marine tropical fish and LEGO scuba divers. Touchscreens at each porthole inside the sub are used by guests to help the LEGO minifigure dive team identify gems, pearls, LEGO gold coins and more throughout the journey. Up to 12 guests will board one of eight submarines that are designed after the LEGO City Deep Sea Adventure line of toys.
The summer exploration ride is opening shortly after LEGOLAND Castle Hotel opens in the spring of 2018. "We are excited to expand our LEGOLAND kingdom with LEGOLAND Castle Hotel, not only for the new adventures it will bring to our guests, but also the new jobs it will create for the community," said Ronchetti. Ronchetti announced the hiring will start today for 200 new Model Citizens (employees) to work at new premium themed 250-room hotel. Thirty leadership roles are needed including Head Chef, Front Office Manager and Food and Beverage Manager.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (September 15, 2016) – As 2016 finishes its last few months, LEGOLAND® California Resort's General Manager Peter Ronchetti announced at today's press conference that big plans are already in action for 2017 including: new LEGO®NINJAGO™ rooms at LEGOLAND® Hotel; an expansion at LEGOLAND® Water Park and a new addition to LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland!
A familiar droid joined Ronchetti in announcing a new addition that's sure to bring out the Force in all of the Resort's guests in 2017: LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens Miniland Model Display.
"Right now, at our secret Model Shop in Carlsbad, Master Model Designer Nik Ehm of our Merlin's Magic Making team is working on creating six scenes that represent the first 30 minutes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens," said Ronchetti. "There are two primary focal points – the more traditional character-driven scenes on the planet of Jakku, and an enormous LEGO® model of the Star Destroyer Finalizer. At 16-feet long, it will be the longest LEGO Star Wars Miniland model ever created!"
LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens Miniland Model Display will be in the center of LEGOStar Wars Miniland and will include these scenes: Kylo Ren's capture of Poe at planet Jakku; Rey's rescue of BB-8; Poe and Finn's escape from the Star Destroyer Finalizer; The wreck of Finn and Poe's TIE Fighter; Rey, Finn and BB-8's escape from Niima Outpost; and the escape from the Starship Graveyard. Lights, sound effects and animation will further bring the scenes and characters to life from this blockbuster film.
The new LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens Miniland Model Display opens to the public in March 2017 just in time for spring break and will kick off the fan-favorite LEGO® Star Wars™ Days on March 4 and 5 in 2017.
A giant wave took center stage as LEGOLAND surfers announced little guests can ride their first wave in Surfer's Bay opening in time for summer 2017! This competitive water raceway is designed for children to compete against each other by jumping on a mat and racing down one of six water slides in this California beach themed expansion of LEGOLAND Water Park. Surfer's Bay includes a new "spray ground" with multiple water jets splashing on and off and plenty of new LEGO models to create a fun place to cool off next summer.
"Surfer's Bay is a winning combination of LEGO theming, water and, of course, healthy competition to inspire our guests," said Ronchetti. " We're truly providing guests a family environment filled with fun, interactive experiences that create lasting memories!"
Also opening in 2017: LEGO® NINJAGO™ rooms at LEGOLAND Hotel! Immersing hotel guests in the popular LEGO NINJAGO universe, they will be able to sleep in the company of Cole, Nya, Kai and Lloyd and other cool LEGO ninjas throughout 18 premium themed rooms and two premium themed suites. The NINJAGO rooms are replacing kingdom themed rooms in preparation of the new LEGO Castle themed hotel opening in 2018. Ronchetti presented a first look of the new premium themed 250-room hotel at the press conference revealing the entrance and pool area . The ground breaking is expected in early 2017 and the new hotel will feature a new restaurant, pool area and themed Castle décor throughout.
"At LEGOLAND California Resort, we pride ourselves in innovation, creativity and memorable experiences for our millions of guests we see each year and 2017 continues that tradition," said Ronchetti. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens set records as the top-grossing film nationally of all time and we're excited to bring it to life here in our popular LEGO Star Wars Miniland!" said Ronchetti.
The LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens Miniland Model Display is included in the cost of admission to LEGOLAND California Resort. For ticket prices, operating schedule and additional information, visit www.LEGOLAND.com or call 760-918-LEGO (5346).

Superfast ferries:
Or the slightly Cheaper ANEK Ferries of Cyprus. We chose Superfast as we thought ANEK might a little hot on-board for our liking.
We have just completed the worst public transport journey of our lives, the crossing from Dubrovnik to Bari aboard the rust-bucket of ship named the Dubrovnik and operated by the unforgettably named Jadrolinija Line. This miserable experience started well before boarding the old tub when we were told we would have to pay £10 to park in the departure line. I brushed off the first assailant with the excuse that the ferry company told us to park here, so go chase them for the money. We didn't have any money anyway as we had spent our last few Kuna and some insect cream. Not easily defeated the chap came back with his boss demanding money. He told me I had to pay because he had told Tracy I had to pay. I told him that Tracy never told me, so I do not have to pay. Presented with this brilliantly executed piece of logic and his scam defeated he told me it was now a special day and I do not have to pay. So there we are. Don't be conned at Dubrovnik Port.
The next sturdy nail into the good ship Dubrovnik's coffin was the arrival of 17 coaches of Italian Pilgrims who were disgorged from their charabancs to run amok around the car park. The cacophony these people made was louder than Concorde at full throttle. Worse, they are like an oil spillage, they manage to end up between every vehicle in the line shouting and gesticulating, they seep into every gap they could find. Thankfully about an hour before departure they were herded cat-like into the departure building. A little peace.
We finally boarded the ship about 90 minutes before departure and were met by a predictable pandemonium. Our emotionally fiery friends were now running amok in all directions looking for some floor space to turn into a personal Garden of Eden, no cabins for these cheapskates, just blankets on the floor. We however had forked out for the finest 2 berth cabin to be had. Most of this ship is in dormitories, one for the men and one for the women. Firstly you need to get a key from a Fawlty Towers-esque reception desk and then you are escorted to your cabin, so far so good you may think. We were led down 4 flights of stairs and then through a warren of corridors to cabin 201.
Cabin 201 was a pokey little hole below the ships waterline, wedged up in the bow and next to the toilets. It consisted of a set of bunk beds with a sink. The beds would be snug for a Dwarf never mind people approaching 6 feet. Tracy chose the bottom, I got the top. The décor, like the rest of the ship was very 1970's. Okay we thought, not the best but at least it was not near the funnels or engines. Unable to do anything but sleep in this refurbished coal-hole we headed up for a drink before bed.
The scene that awaited us was Armageddon. The noise was top-decibel, bodies lay everywhere and the few who remained upright walked around sucking on loaves of bread and depositing crumbs over everyone and everything with gay abandon. The next highlight was the announcement we were leaving. One and all rose in unison and headed for the outside with the religious fervour of a lynch-mob who have just been told a paedophile had moved into the neighbourhood. How the ship didn't turn turtle and sink is testament to man's design abilities. Here are a couple of pics of our Favourite ship.
Not being able to take it anymore we headed for the sanctuary of room 201. We initially thought it to be a bonus to be near the toilets and away from the bedlam on the upper decks. So, so wrong. Firstly as the ship got going all we could hear was the sloshing of water. It was like being in a washing machine, not one of your new fancy German ones, this was like mother's twin-tub Hotpoint and with each turn of the spindle this Croatian imposed water-boarding torture increased, slosh by slosh, swish by swish. To add to the pleasure the Bilge pump was switched on every 30 minutes to pump out the accumulated water from our chamber of horrors. But the top-banana of misery was still to come. The toilet we thought to be a bonus was in fact the only one on the deck. Our fellow passengers visited this locale more frequently than Katie Price has visited the Divorce Courts. As well as the shouting and door slamming we could here every single bowel movement and every single toilet flush. We didn't sleep a jot.
As soon as we could we escaped upstairs for breakfast and watched the sun rose as we approached Bari. I took a picture of the sun rise, but not of Bari as looked like a dump. So top-trumps to Jadrolinija. To make a journey so bad must take training and years of practice.
But every cloud……. It could have been worse. We could have been on the Sveti Stefan.
Camping Kate Mlini 03/10 – 05/10/2015
The weather forecast told us the Weather on the third was not going to be the best and is our way it was made a travelling day. Road 8 down the coast of Croatia is a peach, a corker with wall-to-wall wonder at every turn. Unfortunately the light was not good enough to record images so you will have to take our word for it. This is one of the best drives you will ever make. I will stick my neck out as say it is better the US 1 in California. A must do.
Part of the section involves a 10Km trek through Bosnia, a country we had no insurance for. We took the calculated gamble we would come to no harm for the 15 minutes we would be there and drove through. The alternative is to take a ferry out to the Croatian peninsula and by-pass Bosnia. It all turned out OK and nobody asked for insurance documents. In Croatia we asked a couple of locals why is it difficult to get insured for Bosnia. We were told it is like the wild-west. They target foreign and hired cars, steal them and then ransom them back to either you or the insurance companies.
Our couple of pictures of the route:
In the evening we had a Barbie and a couple of beers. Knowing we were going to Cavtat the next day we decided to open a bottle of Champagne that Ivor had left in our fridge since the Billings Affair. Imagine our disappointment to find it was flat, not a bubble in sight. We still drank it though and it made my face go funny as you can see. Ivor, next time leave as a decent bottle as we do not like driving your junk around Europe.
Cavtat 04/10/2015
We have been looking forward to Cavtat since we knew were coming to Croatia. Cavtat is a very special place to us. Basically Three years ago we went on holiday there and fell hopelessly in love, as we still are. Cavtat is still a beautiful coastal resort about 10 klicks to the south of Dubrovnik and does not seem to have changed since we were there last. It appears a lot busier though with many more coach and boat parties descending on the place than before. But, we managed to sit in 'our bar' having mojitos as the sun set over Dubrovnik. This we followed with a meal before floating back to the van.
To sum up. We have liked Croatia tremendously. It is stunningly beautiful, good value, the roads are excellent. Campsites are plentiful and wonderfully maintained if sometimes a little short of facilities. Come here anytime out of July and August and you will probably agree with us this is the best coastal destination in Europe. It munches places like Spain and Portugal for breakfast.
Love to all
Take Care

As musicians, we are carriers of influence, whether or not we are aware of it and whether or not we intend to be. The sound and messages we release through our art form directly impact our listeners in powerful ways. This is especially true of the youth and adolescents of our society, who are still extremely malleable to the world around them. I remember sitting in the car with my two little cousins, ages five and eight, when "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk came on the radio. They both started singing every word at the top of their lungs. And when Katy Perry sang during the Super Bowl halftime show, the kids at the party sang nearly every lyric verbatim, putting me to shame because I didn't know all the lyrics, and I'm aspiring to be a pop artist. It began to shock me just how acutely youth are being impacted by the music they listened to, and how much attention they're paying to the music being played around them.

Indian Hockey plunged to it's lowest depth ever, failing to make it to the Olympics for the first time in 80 years.
People have been cribbing about the various problems that torment this sport in India, and with our ouster from the qualifiers, such voices are now going full blast, blaming the administrators at the IHF, the sports ministry as well as coach Joaquim Carvalho for this fiasco.
The people at the top have to take responsibility, and in India, we often have politicians and retired bureaucrats running the show like their private fiefdom, with various personalities involved at every step, each wanting to take credit for any triumph that comes their way, not only in hockey (K.P.S Gill), but even other instances, like Chess – PC Umer Khoya, IOA – Suresh Kalmadi, Tennis – Anil Khanna to mention a few.
I am not an avid follower of hockey myself, but even as an observer, it has been easy to figure out the extent to which people like Gill have ruined hockey in India with their power politics and shows of favouritism.

American Origami / FW:Books Fall, 2019
"Though tactically quiet, American Origami is a profoundly dark and moving testament to how gun violence has ravaged the American school experience. It stands alone as perhaps the most intelligent and graceful photographic account of how communities metabolize this almost seasonal horror, and how mass shootings have become a deeply painful part of the American fabric." - Paul Reyes, Editor of the Virginia Quarterly Review

Signed Copy // Sold Out
Special Edition // Sold Out
Excerpt from review by Marc Fuestel for Eyecurious
... Like the subconscious, Some(w)here does not neatly catalogue memories of different times and places, but instead allows them to shuffle together into a more complicated and confused whole. Much of what we see is revealed through a window or behind curtains and the reflective matte paper stock itself contributes to this impression of distance from the subject. While it deals with many of photography's major themes—place, time, memory, dreams and reality—it isn't interested in making any grandiose statements. It is a quiet and modest book (it fits nicely in the palm of your hand), a book of emotions and atmosphere rather than of concept or ideas. It successfully conjures up the world of dreams and of memory, but without offering any particular resolution: Gonzalez's images obstruct as much as they reveal, and the impression that the book leaves is elusive and even a little frustrating, like an intense dream that you cannot quite remember.

SPRINGFIELD - The family of a 56-year-old Springfield man reported missing since Friday is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to his whereabouts.
Area law enforcement agencies searched all day Sunday and Monday for the man who was last seen at his home at 711 Old Tusculum Road.
He was last seen wearing a white shirt, blue jeans and white shoes. He has reddish-brown hair.
Searches by air and land on the family's nearly 320-acre wooded property was futile.
Sheriff's officials are still investigating the case, but have said further searches were unlikely at this time.
Sheriff's spokesman David Ehsanipoor said deputies will follow all leads and hope someone has information to pass along.
Anyone with information about James Tebeau's whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff's office at 912-754-3449.

For women who are avid exercisers, pregnancy can present a challenge in terms of making necessary modifications to ensure baby�s safety. Lisa Druxman, who specializes in pre- and postnatal fitness, says that pregnant athletes don�t have to completely overhaul their normal routine, as medical guidelines for exercise are now much less conservative than in years past.
�Original guidelines for exercise during pregnancy cautioned women to never exceed a heart rate of 140 beats per minute, which most fitness enthusiasts would hardly consider a workout,� Druxman says. �Now, more and more experts agree that pregnant athletes, when properly trained and monitored, can safely exercise beyond these guidelines and are actually typically more efficient at handling the stresses of exercise during pregnancy.�
Druxman advises that it is still important for athletes to use caution when it comes to protecting their own health and that of their unborn babies.
Druxman addresses three primary concerns of the effects of prenatal exercise on the fetus, and how they can be avoided:
Hyperthermia. A higher-than-normal body temperature is the most common concern for the fetus during high-intensity exercise. This is because the fetus can take on the mother�s increased body temperature, possibly leading to birth defects. Studies do indicate, however, that fit clients actually have better ability to dissipate heat.
To help prevent problems, especially during the first trimester, pregnant athletes should be most cautious about exercising in hot conditions and for long durations, as the fetus is unable to regulate its own body temperature at this stage.
Wear light-colored, breathable fabrics to keep cool, and drink plenty of water throughout the day and during exercise bouts. Urine should appear clear in color, an indicator of proper hydration. Some experts recommend that pregnant athletes also take their temperature immediately before and after their longest weekly workout.
Sports injuries. An extreme blow to (or a fall onto) the abdomen during any stage of pregnancy can damage the placenta, although there is greater risk of damage to the fetus during the later stages because it is positioned higher in the womb and unprotected by the pelvis.
�Although most medical experts agree that the typical falls and contact levels common in sports are unlikely to cause damage, there is potential for injury, so it�s best for the athlete and her physician to ultimately decide what�s safe,� Druxman says.
�Because I�ve found they can be problematic to pregnant athletes, I usually discourage my clients from participating in contact sports, such as hockey, boxing, wrestling, football and soccer; as well as high-risk sports, such as gymnastics, horseback riding, skating, skiing, hang gliding, racquetball and scuba diving.�
Oxygen deficit. The fetus�s heart rate can be affected by the exercise being performed. If a woman performs extreme levels of exercise on an inconsistent basis, uterine blood flow can decrease to a point where the fetus experiences a serious oxygen deficit. Typically, a pregnant athlete who trains regularly will have a fetus that is better conditioned to adapt to the stresses of exercise, but monitoring is still important, Druxman says.
She goes on to say that pregnant athletes should follow any fitness program with a thorough cool-down period of gentle exercise and also pay special attention to fetal movements in the hours immediately following a workout. Like us, babies stop moving when they aren�t getting enough oxygen.
The amount of exercise considered safe for a woman during pregnancy is related to how much physical activity she was used to beforehand and other factors. Regardless of fitness level, all women should see their doctors before exercising during pregnancy. Once you have been cleared, listen to your body and avoid overtraining.

Messina Hof Winery Engagement
Caroline + Ryan drove in from Houston to enjoy a nice weekend at the Messina Hof Winery and Resort in Bryan, TX. During that stay, I met them out there to explore the vineyards and cellar room for their engagement photos. Although it may not have been peak time for vineyard photos, we did find some fantastic areas on the grounds for photos. The cellar room is stunning with the wall of wine barrels!
Of course we had glasses of wine in our hands as we walked around and took photos. Messina Hof one of my favorite wines and I couldn't pass up getting a glass for myself after the shoot. Cabernet Franc in case you are looking for a smooth red wine.
Congratulations Caroline + Ryan!

TRUCKEE — A lakefront mansion built by a family that played a key role in the history of boating at Lake Tahoe before World War II has sold for $10 million.
The Sierra Sun on Wednesday reported the sale of 1340 West Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City. The 6-bedroom, 6½-bath home on Lake Tahoe's west shore sits on 1.7 acres of landscaped grounds with 160 feet of lake frontage, two double-boathouses, a pier and private harbor.
The name of the purchaser wasn't disclosed.
Built in 1936, it originally was owned by the family of Bert C. Scott, who co-founded the Hall-Scott Engine Co. in Berkeley in 1910.
The company was a leading manufacturer of water-cooled aircraft engines before World War I and produced axles for Ford's Model T through the mid-1920s. It also built industrial engines for fire engines, tractors and boats.
A mile south, another shoreside mansion — the Quist Carousel Estate, 2340 Sunnyside Lane — is on the market for $25 million, marked down from $32 million.

- I believe in expanding Medicaid eligibility so that everyone who can not get insurance through the marketplace, who needs to go to a doctor, hospital, or clinic, can go. There is no reason South Dakota should leave behind millions of dollars the Federal Government is giving us in incentives to expand medicaid.
- Out of 855,400 SD residents, 31% are low income (below 200% of the Poverty Line) and only 15% are covered by Medicaid/CHIP. There is a 16% gap which means that 15,000 low income adults are not covered statewide. (100% of FPL is $12,140 for an individual) [1]. Children, Pregnant women, Parents with children, and Seniors/Disabled are the only people eligible to receive medicaid.
- I propose raising the FPL% for pregnant women to 209%. This means that instead of pregnant women who only make below $16,643 being eligible for medicaid, pregnant women who make less than $25,205 will be eligible. [2]
- I propose raising the FPL% for Parent/Caregiver/Relatives of Low Income Children from 52% to 138% so that more families and parents can apply for Medicaid should they need it. [2]
- I propose raising the FPL% for Aged, Blind and Disabled Singles and Couple to from 74% and 83% respectively to 100%.
- Currently Seniors make up about 20% of Medicaid recipients in SD, but make up 60% of the cost. To reduce costs to balance the expansion of eligible South Dakotans, we can cap costs for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). [2]

Currently, Avera and Sanford are the only two major insurance companies providing insurance in the healthcare marketplace. That isn't enough competition to give us the best coverage or prices.
Mental Health
- I believe we desperately need more mental health facilities in West River Currently, people seeking mental treatment who go to the ER and who do not have an acute medical emergency, are housed in jail if the current facilities are full which they often are. This disregard for the mentally ill is shockingly cruel and must stop.
Drug addiction
- Lastly, we need more funding to tackle methamphetamine/drug addiction in our district by offering treatment services. Drug addiction is soaring and we are not equipped to handle this public health crisis. This is a skyrocketing problem that nobody wants to talk about, but must be addressed for the safety of our district.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – While the rest of Rio de Janeiro thinks about the approaching Christmas and New Year period, the city's samba schools have Carnival in mind as Liga Independente das Escolas de Samba/LIESA (League of Independent Samba Schools) have announced the line up for the school's technical rehearsals.
The technical rehearsals grant the opportunity for Rio's samba schools to practice their performance and iron out any glitches or technical issues. It's a chance to make sure they are fully prepared to give the biggest show of the year during the Carnival in February, the largest samba parade competition in the world. Rehearsals take place all weekends, yet the technical rehearsals are specifically with the Carnival performance in mind.
Rehearsals for Carnival will happen at the legendary Sambódromo in the city center and provide a wonderful opportunity to watch the practice and see what's in store for February. There is nothing static about these rehearsals; the big steel drum beats fill the air, uniting the crowd with the bedazzling samba dancers.
Nohelia Sanchez from the tourism agency DayTour4u shares her thoughts about the Carnival rehearsals. "I personally prefer the rehearsals as a way to get immersed in the samba schools culture. Academicos do Salgueiro is one of the biggest Samba Schools. It is definitely worth the time to go, and while you are there you can also taste some local gastronomy and take in the tremendous energy that is displayed!"
"You can visit with or without a tour, but just need plan out your transportation because is late at night and is not near to Zona Sul [South Zone] area," explains Sanchez, revealing valuable tips about going.
"The practical tips for the parade visitor is to arrive early, bring comfortable shoes and clothes, and since you won't be able to enter with food or drinks, bring enough cash or credit to purchase what you need there. While the infrastructure is good and it is a safe place to be, as in every massive event, leave your valuables at home and bring only the necessary."
"My best tip," she adds, "is to have patience and good vibes, because in Rio during carnival nothing matters more than the carnival itself- a long night of samba and local culture."
There are 26 schools scheduled for technical practice yet most eyes will focus on the twelve special schools who are in the highest league and tend to give the most astonishing performances. The schedules are created by LIESA. The first technical rehearsal will begin on Sunday, January, 15th with Paraiso do Tuiuti (8PM) and União da Ilha (9:30 PM).
Sunday, January 22nd, São Clemente will start rehearsals (8PM) followed by Mocidade (9:30 PM). Finally, the last Sunday of January on 29th, Beija Flor will do their test run (8PM) and then after Grande Rio (9:30 PM).
February will see the final rehearsals before the main event. On Sunday, 5th Vila Isabel (8PM) with practise followed by the highly-anticipated, Salgueiro (9:30 PM). On Sunday, 12th Portela (8PM) will rehearse followed by Unidos da Tijuca (9:30 PM). On Saturday, 18th it's the test run of samba school Imperatriz (9:30 PM) before the final rehearsal from Mangueira (9:30 PM) on Sunday, 19th.
The rehearsals are free, providing a great opportunity for the budget-conscious traveler to see the parades first-hand without paying the actual parade prices.

Title: Toward a Dark Horizon
Author: Philippa
Rating: T
Fandom: Batman Begins
Summary: When Bruce's custody of Richard Grayson is challenged, he finds himself in a deadly race to discover the truth about his young ward.
Cecilia Somerville is ostensibly staying at Wayne Manor for a couple of weeks to verify that the playboy is providing a good home environment for Dick. No one likes her because she's there to rock the boat and is abrasive about it. OK, the prmeise is a little thin; Gotham City Child Services probably wouldn't look that closely at Bruce Wayne's parenting skills.
Meanwhile, there is a new villain in Gotham and a new drug cartel and Somerville has a mysterious past involving drug dealers and torture...
I'm all about the canon pairings. Except for Sesshoumaru and Mrs. Higurashi who will become canon, I know. I don't read fics which pair an OC with a main character. Except in the case of Toward a Dark Horizon, where I am hoping the OC, Somerville, gets Bruce. Of course, it helps that I didn't like Rachel in the movie... But what is so fabulous about Somerville is she may not even want Bruce!
I'm never very good at explaining why I like a fic so I thought I would include an excerpt. I found plenty I liked but they were long and depended on preceding chapters so once again I'm incoherent and vague. I will say that one of the things I like about Toward a Dark Horizon is all of the adult characters are on task. They are too busy working/scheming to angst about any wounds, physical or emotional.

You sure get around. It does sound like a neat plot.
You should stalk her.
A good stalker would go there anyway.
just wanted you to know that if i were a reader, i would read this on your rec. but i'm not. i can't even read the stuff in my own fandom i should. i'm so bad that way (and reading's hard for me and my eyes are bad....). but it's neat to know that you can get outside your own fandom to follow quality. maybe you should rejoin IYFG and volunteer for their new "Quality Committee" to screen fics nominated. they could use some help over there on that subject, i think....

Get in the game.
Participation in sports and recreation is one of many ways YWCA is on a mission to improve the lives of women and girls in our community.

Life History:
– As a teen growing up in Williamsburg, where did you spend most of your time? How have these places changed?
– Which high school did you attend? Were there multiple? How does having multiple high schools affect the presence of a "teenage community" growing up in Williamsburg?
– What was your, and possibly your peers, regard of William and Mary growing up? Was there a noticeable dynamic between Williamsburg teens and William and Mary students of similar age?
– Brief background of children: age, names, etc. Where do they go to high school? Where do they typically "hang out?" Do they feel that there exists in Williamsburg a place that they are welcome to meet up with friends? Do they frequent New Town? Have they ever had any stand-out experiences, positive or negative, there?
– Can you recall ever feeling discriminated against as a teen in Williamsburg, in Colonial W or elsewhere? How has your relationship with this place (if it exists) changed as you've matured?
– What is your regard of the teenage population in Williamsburg now? Especially regarding their presence in New Town and CW?

Op-Ed: Suddenly, Kaspersky is banned? Global game changer in play
Paul Wallis
Sep 14, 2017 in
- The banning of the very popular Kaspersky Internet security software from U.S. government agencies is odder than it looks. The reason for the ban is links to the Kremlin and Russian spy agencies, but think about that for a minute.
The ban by the DHS
is unequivocal in scope. It included an order to comply within 90 days. The theory of the ban is that under Russian law, Kaspersky could be compelled to provide confidential information to the Russian intelligence services.
So far so good. There's something slightly bemusing, though, in a company which would be such an obvious mark. There are literally thousands of ways to get information without so much rigmarole. Security laws, these days, are far less ceremonial than legal processes.
There's no doubt whatsoever that the theory can at least be shown to be a real possibility. That said, whatever happened to double guessing a possible source of leaks, and simply sourcing elsewhere?
Also, given the fact that the Kaspersky brand has been going for many years, what about the past? It wasn't a threat then, but it is now? Any security issues in the past, presumably, didn't warrant this level of attention.
Have the Russians been providing most of the planet with access to software which is accessible to their security agencies?
Who else might do something like that? Just about everybody. In fact, everyone does. Cyber security is the new frontier of electronic warfare. There are no rules and no limits.
The theory of security is a very broad brush these days. Rampaging political botnets, state-developed viruses, and a world full of smug little security "experts" who've never even questioned Kaspersky are some of the symptoms.
Maybe the sudden, drastic action by the DHS has a lot more to it? You don't even need a conspiracy theory to consider that the DHS wouldn't take such very conspicuous action without some active operational basis.
Meaning - What, exactly, triggered all this sudden official zeal for agency security? Agency security in recent years included the
, and
cases. These three cases were not quite the epitome of ferociously enforced onsite security, let alone online security. The average US grocery till has better security than the US Army and State Department, apparently.
…And now, suddenly, there's this urgent interest in a much higher tier of security? Curiouser and curiouser. No doubt the DHS isn't doing all this purely for the entertainment value, but why now? Particularly in the midst of the Trump/Russia enquiry.
Not wishing to perform a Disney rodent-ectomy on people who are trying to do their jobs, (who some would call a persecuted minority in most governments), but - Does this mean that somebody's finally getting serious about security? Never mind the politics, this is a lot bigger even in principle. It directly affects all online security providers, and their customers.
If you isolate or exclude a potential source of information on the basis of being a security risk, where does that go? How do you define a possible source of security information? Do you manage it physically, like this, or do you up the ante and manage it legally, too, by selective exclusion of providers, backed up by laws?
See where this could go. See also that the natural counter to this move is to deliver another, arm's length type of AV software, not directly traceable to a foreign source or foreign intervention. You could simply corrupt legitimate software, and this type of scrutiny, based on visible associations with foreign governments, agencies, etc.. would find nothing.
Meanwhile - Does this mean AV providers will have to get security clearance? It probably does. It's a logical step, both in practical terms and because the bar has just been raised for AV providers.
The AV providers are natural targets in the online wars. Their software, in fact, is as much under attack as anything else. Being seen as potential risks, however, really does change the game completely.
Expect the obvious gaps in this situation to get filled, fast, with anything and everything. The stampede will deliver something, but it's hard to believe the incoming software will be pure as the driven snow for long, either.

Christian singer Lauren Daigle performed her worshipful single "You Say" on ABC's Good Morning America last week.
The appearance was one of her first in weeks after she told a radio host she didn't know if homosexuality was a sin and that if people were curious, they should read the Bible.
Daigle has been nominated for two Grammy awards this year, one for her album Look Up, Child, and another for the song she sang on the hit morning show.
Watch and worship.

I had a great night with my girlfriend last night over food and wine.
She gave me an update on her married life of five years and her two year old toddler.
Life has been hard for her, or should I say marriage has been hard which makes everything around her complicated.
It's the typical story of a couple so in love when they were "boyfriend/girlfriend" or even "each other's fiancé". But, after five years and a toddler, marriage has not been the same.
How many more times will I hear the same story about marriage being complicated? Is it really? What makes a relationship turn happy into regret after marriage? I guess I just don't get it but I do feel sad for my girlfriend.

7 New Cool Features in iOS 5 For iPhone and iPadPosted by Unknown 5/26/2012
I started learning about useful features and really appreciated the efforts Steve Jobs has done for humanity. I am sharing most useful features as per fulfillment of my requirements.
I believe you are aware of BBM BlackBerry Messenger a free SMS service among the BB users, new iOS 5 also features iMessage facility that can be used among the iPhone users free and shall definitely reduce the sms costs of its users. Although this service will use the data from your phone provider but the cost will be much lesser than the standard SMS charges especially internationally. I have not yet started using this app.
I find this feature very appealing and giving more peace of mind. If you have a missed call or a message on Facebook or Twitter you are able to see on your lock screen all messages listed. Just swipe your finger across the notification and corresponding application will be opened directly. Like if you received a message on Facebook swipe right and you can type the reply in Facebook interface.
If you swipe to unlock, the notification(s) will disappear, your notifications are now kept in new notification center, swipe to the down from top and you will see all your notifications at one place. Now you can go to specific application by tapping a notification.
My notification center was crowded due to too many messages from Twitter and Facebook so I customized the notification center. Go to Settings > Notifications and customize or turn it off if you want.
Easy Launching of Camera Application
Many time I wanted to take a snap and while opening the camera the scene was changed, thanks to iOS developer they understand our problems and now you can open the camera by double clicking the only available button in iPhone4/S. You will get 2 options, one for playing your recent track and second for opening the camera… Isn't it coooooooooool. Also Apple has allowed you to take pictures using volume up button.
Picture Editing
Now you can edit your newly taken pictures by just clicking Edit button on right upper corner and you are given four options for photo editing. After editing you can save your pictures.
1. Crop
2. Auto Enhance
3. Rotate
4. Red Eye Removal
Tasks / Reminders Application
This application integrates all your pending tasks and beauty of the new feature is that you can set location based reminders so that if you reach somewhere you know what I have to do.
The best feature which I like is this one now you don't need to connect your iPhone or iPad to your PC using cable only connect your iOS devices to a power source turn on the WiFi Syn application and get connected, it is required that both your machines should be on the same network.
Twitter Integration
Now you can send tweets using the common iOS applications like Facebook, YouTube, Safari, maps and Camera. All you need to do is setup your Twitter integration settings go to Settings > Twitter and select the applications you want to integrate although it will automatically integrate with available application on your iDevice. Also in contacts you can give Twitter profile of a contact and while Tweeting auto complete will work based upon saved profiles.
There are many many features that we need to explore the things which I got in last two days I have shared with you and very soon will contribute more. If you have come to know more cool features please write to us or give your feedback in our c
comments area.

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
Thursday launched their latest campaign to create awareness amongst consumers to buy hallmarked gold during festive season. The effort of raising awareness around hallmarking is rooted in true-to-life stories that consumers can relate to. The stories for every medium are different and the messages for hallmarking have a refreshed approach. The television commercial showcases connect of gold across generations, geographies and occasions. It highlights gold's appeal among all ages, the tradition of gold changing hands in the family through many generations, in refined subtlety.
