In this week's issue of Life & Style, there's an article that tells about a fight between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The two were arguing because Brad supports Barack Obama, and she's supporting John Edwards for presidency. It supposedly ended with her throwing a glass of wine in Brad's face:
"The magazine will report in this week's issue that things got so heated that Angie empties that glass in Brad's face an insider tells the weekly entertainment magazine. "They got into a huge fight about politics," says an insider close tothe Pitt family. (Brad, explains another insider, supports Barack Obama, while Angie's a John Edwards fan.) "Brad ended up calling her immature. He says the next thing he knew, Angie was cursing at him and throwing a glass of wine in his face.""
Brad's also worried that Angie's developed an eating disorder. She reportedly now weighs 98 lbs. At a height of 5'7″, this is classified as significantly unhealthy. Brad's been pushing for Angie to go to rehab. So you kind of have to wonder if maybe Angie's health, eating disorder, and depression has anything to do with how erratic her actions are becoming. Hmm…. I wonder…

Benefits of Using Formwork for Concrete
As construction methodologies and technologies develop, so do the requirements of property owners. Today, home and commercial establishment owners can be treated to a wide range of materials that are designed to cut costs while enhancing structural strength. And one of the best of these is formwork for concrete.

Interesting, isn't
it, how someone is always utterly attractive to someone else? For every male
tree frog, there is a female tree frog whose dry skin and warts and bulging
eyes are the most divine. And to you, Lara Bagai, a karela is a thing of
beauty, Nishad comments.·
So he remembers I love karela. So what?I take it your interest in frogs is
purely academic?
I snigger.
'I promise you I am not in danger of being madly besotted by one anytime soon,'
he half-smiles.
· The clock is ticking towards Lara's thirtieth birthday and the whole gang is coming together to celebrate it. It's a pact they made back then to meet when they all finally turned that age. So far, so cool. What isn't cool is the other pact Lara had made one tipsy evening with Nishad. To marry each other if neither of them were hitched by then.
· The last thing Lara wants is to give Nishad the pleasure of knowing he was right about Ranndeep being so wrong for her. Ranndeep, all-male, pro-motor racer whom shed been so sure of at the time. So there was only one thing to do. Lara would have to drum up someone else to pass off as her love interest for now. Enter flamboyant Perzaan, Turkish dude full of surprises. With the reappearance of Ranndeep and the gangs other quirky characters, its a week of audacious hookups and mix-ups. Chances are you'll be guessing right till the end who ends up with whom, if ever.
My Feedback
The story line associates youth, and the plot is appealing on the happenings and reunion of friends on protagonist Lara's 30th birthday. Some characters and events, and the setup where the gang of friends plan to rent a house in the same society appear nostalgic and easy to associate with. Lara's meeting with the hero Nishad is interesting and her tryst to convince having another man in her life. The most interesting part is planting a fake Turkish boyfriend as a banker and the sequence of mix up after that.
And the way protagonist Lara is portrayed as a Tom Boyish woman, with a witty sense of humor and her description of her hero with physical details in an aesthetic manner. Especially , the sequence where Lara bumps in to two ladies in the painting exhibition and tries to read and sync their minds. But after mid way , the no. of the characters and their specific characteristics, get jumbled up in mind creating confusion, when the reader feels forced to find a reference about Sita the man, thin Riya, fat Riya, Lara, Nishad, Aunt Nair, Ranndeep, Lara's parents, Faviyo, Perzaan etc.The book offers melodrama, a bit of romance overpowered with non stop mental commentary and everyday sequences with flashbacks all happening in a paced up manner,
So overall, it's a light read and I appreciate the sense of humor the most, and the witty remarks splattered all over with dialect idioms and jokes and thank the author having portrayed Lara as today's woman. But the no. of characters and the length of the book, both could have been reduced to do the reading better and enjoyable.

About Us
The New Rush Hall Group is an educational organisation based in the London Borough of Redbridge that works within a range of settings with children who are experiencing social, emotional and mental health difficulties. (SEMH)
The Group comprises an all age day special school, a behaviour support Outreach Team, two Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), the education provision at Brookside, which is an adolescent psychiatric unit and an multi-agency Early Years' within the school campus. In reorganising resources and services in this way in 1999, the LB Redbridge paid recognition to the continuum of need for children and young people whose difficulties range from mild behavioural difficulties to more severe mental health problems. We aim to provide a 'joined up' strategic and management approach to meeting such needs.
The Governors and Management Committee of The New Rush Hall Group in conjunction with the LA manage and oversee all these resources and services. The essence of our work throughout the service is a commitment to facilitate personal growth and development for the youngsters with whom we work. Therefore we strive to find individual solutions to individual problems, within a framework that is needs driven, rather than resource driven. We aim to help in developing youngsters so that they get on with themselves, get on with others, and can stand on their own two feet and cope with life's ups and downs.
The New Rush Hall Group is a creative and dynamic organisation at the cutting edge of specialist work with children and young people who have serious behavioural, emotional, mental health and social difficulties.

Guaranteed 700g Bakugan!
With the start of Bakugan's 4th season last year, many enthusiastically awaited the fresh new episodes of adventure.
The 4th season began with episode 1: Interspace Showdown, showing the ever brave Dan fighting and winning against Subterra and Darkus. This leads him still on the top list of the fight. As Dan and Drago quest continued, more mysteries are revealed and battles for saving Bakugan City and New Vestoria became more exciting.
The last two episodes of Bakugan Mechtanium Surge - Episode 45 and 46 - emphasized the importance of unity between humans and Bakugan. With all the gathered energies of humans and Bakugan, Dragonoid Destroyer transformed into gold and doubled the power of his previous evolution. Using this highest level of energy, Drago defeated the fierce and strong Mechtavius Destroyer.
Despite this victory and of winning the Neo Bakugan City Tournamnet against Gunz and Reptak, Dan and Drago would rather miss the party to go forth on another adventure awaiting them.
Watch the battles and victory of Dragonoid Destroyer in these two final episodes:
Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 45: Beginning of the End
Bakugan Mechtanium Surge Episode 46: End of the Line
Surely, the last episodes saved the best battles for the finale. And once again, good prevails against evil! Watch all Bakugan episodes on Bakugan TV Show.

Guess what 2 new season of bakugan heard on youtube. but the voice of Drago is retiring :'(

We do hope there's a whole lot of new adventure on the new season of Bakugan. That way it'll be more exciting. Excited for upcoming season?

Patient Stories
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Clare Emily Watkins
Giving you an up-close look at the impact that the Hope and Heroes organization and Columbia University Medical Center has on the children it treats in the tri-state.
Clare Emily Watkins was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, in August 2007 at the age of nine. Instead of starting fifth grade that September she entered a whirlwind of cancer treatment. She immediately started chemotherapy and within three months received a life-changing, life-saving and limb-sparing surgery. Her doctor removed the tumor in her right thigh bone and all the affected bones and muscles from her leg, including most of her femur and knee. The femur was replaced with a state-of-the-art extendable rod that would be lengthened as Clare grew. After her operation, Clare spent eight more months in and out of the hospital and clinic at Columbia, undergoing treatment and physical therapy to learn to walk again. While she was a patient, Clare benefited from Hope & Heroes services in the clinic, such as integrative therapies, including massage and meditation, to help her throughout her treatment.
Today, Clare is a proud cancer survivor, spending her summer as a camp counselor with children like her who have been affected by a life-threatening disease. Even as survivor, her life continues to be impacted by Hope & Heroes through their Survivor Wellness program at Columbia, which provides Clare with yearly health check-ups and other support services, including SAT prep classes which helped her plan for college. This fall, Clare will return to Salve Regina University as a sophomore where she is an education major, planning to teach high school students.
Your support of Hope & Heroes helps kids like Clare receive important services throughout their treatment and as survivor.
Please join us and donate today!
* Each of these patients and their families has granted permission for their story and photo to be shared by Hope & Heroes and its partners during the September campaign.

I came to Life Together as an agnostic, disillusioned Southern Baptist preacher's kid, who over the course of the summer of 2012 had both graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University and been confirmed in the Episcopal Church. Life Together caught me at the time when I needed it most. Finding myself in transition from church and college life, the community that I found in Boston was grounding.
Being an Oklahoman is a source of pride, and I love our state motto, "Labor omnia vincit". It is easy to believe that labor does indeed conquer all things while growing up in a small town, feeding cattle before getting on the bus to go to school every morning, and chopping down mesquite trees in pastures. But that is a lie we sometimes tell ourselves here in the Sooner state. A continuation of some dream of rugged individualism that bears little resemblance to our actual history. Labor conquers some things, but there is so much I can't achieve on my own.
As my time in Life Together progressed, I saw that I needed my community. My work at Project Bread showed me what the impact of a community can mean for people experiencing food insecurity. At every turn I was being shown examples of people living together in community in ways that I had never taken the time to notice before. But I also realized my tendency toward being alone and struggled to find a way to join in the great work in which Life Together fellows are able to participate. I sometimes found myself wishing that I could be a better organizer, that I could somehow overcome my enneagram five-ness. In my community at Life Together and at Project Bread, I learned to value the importance of my own work and my own skills.
Following Life Together, I stayed in Boston to work as a database assistant at Project Bread. It is tempting to say that I taught myself data analysis and database management, but I'm more capable of seeing now the support I received that enabled me to have those opportunities. My boss was consistently willing to teach me and to explain processes to me. My coworkers encouraged me and let me know that my work was valuable. Now that I'm back home in Oklahoma, managing a database at a hospital foundation, I am continually reminded of my community in Boston. When I am tempted to isolate myself, I remember their encouragement, support, and the challenge and reward of relying on more than yourself. Labor may conquer all things, but without community I know I can't continue to work toward justice in our world.

The Forest Dragon Card Game by Rory
Designed by Rory, aged 9, The Forest Dragon is a fun game of testing your luck and risking everything on the turn of a card. (If Kickstarter is already bamboozling you, scroll down to our "Help me!" section.)
Dare you explore the forest? It's full of things you need, and there is treasure to be found. But beware! The forest is also full of monsters!
Will you meet the Forest Dragon? Will you have a sword in your hand when you do?
Will you find a Golden Coins, a Witch Bottle, or just some Acorns?
Will you encounter an Adder Crow, the Bandit King, or a Hungry Ghost?
How far into the forest dare you go? And what even is Ghost Milk? (honestly I don't know, and I've asked)
In The Forest Dragon you will create a fantasy world from cards, and then explore it.
With amazing art from Rory and his little brother Ben, and with just a little help from their dad, games-industry veteran Jon Hodgson, The Forest Dragon is a fast and exciting game for the whole family!
You helped this fledgling games designer, Rory (age 9) print his first game.
The Forest Dragon centres around a deck of 53 cards, delivered in a handsome card tuckbox. The deck contains resources, adventure items and monsters. As well as the instructions laid out across seven cards.
In a round of the game players lay out rows of cards that make up the world they are going to explore. They take it in turns to reveal one card at a time, and follow instructions on the card: Resources are collected in your backpack. Adventure items also go in the backpack, but help with the adventure. Monsters will end your expedition, sometimes taking items you've collected! You can chose to head home at any time and bank your finds.
Or keep going, risking it all! Pushing your luck and knowing when to stop are key.
Rounds are quick to play, and you can chose how many rounds to play to make a match. At the end of each round you tally up the points on your resources, and the winner is whoever has gathered the most.
All 53 cards feature art by designer Rory, and his little brother Ben. We think they look amazing, and while I'm biased, I think it's a really attractive set of cards.
Our house is full of games. So it was no surprise when Rory, age 7 announced he wanted to be a games designer.
What was a surprise was when he told us he had already invented a game. He then proceeded to tell us all the rules from the back seat of the car. Practically in one breath. And it sounded like a game that might really work.
I'm Jon Hodgson, Rory's dad. I work in games – as the creative director for UK games company, Cubicle 7. When Rory told us the rules of his game, I really felt he was on to something special. And so we ordered some blank cards, and made a prototype.
The game worked! And it was a lot of fun.
It has simple rules, and in game-design terms it abstracts a whole bunch of processes into a series of very straight forward player interactions. It's really quite clever.
The Forest Dragon began life as a card game based in the world of a well-known block building game. I was truly impressed by how Rory managed to capture so much of the game experience in a very simple set of interactions. You head out from a base, you collect resources, you try to avoid monsters, you occasionally find cool stuff, and you get ahead if you do well. If you go too far, then things go badly for you. It was a really smart piece of design. I work with a lot of grown up designers who couldn't have captured the essentials of a game experience so neatly.
We were simply not in a position to license such a well known property, but we didn't let that stop us, so we headed in a different direction, making an adventure game in a fantasy world all our own.
My kids make up some truly wonderful stuff, and I try to record as much of it as I can. When they come up with a monster, or character, I'll write it down. And that's the collection of things you'll find in the deck of The Forest Dragon. We don't know exactly what everything you'll find in the game is - but we hope it will spark everyone's imagination!
Since making the first prototype two years ago we've played it with friends of all ages, and a bunch of games industry professionals. And everyone has had fun!
We've added a few bits here and there, and we discussed how to make it the best game it could be, revised, reworked, but to this day, the core of the game is the same as it was the day he explained it in one go.
Since then we've made several different prototypes by hand, drawing all our own pictures, colouring them in, revising the set as we learned how it worked.
Once we had a game we felt we could ask people to support we set about making the full 53 card set "in best". Rory and Ben have worked very hard to make all the pictures on the cards. They draw the images in pencil, we scan them into the computer, and Ben (Did we say he was 6?) does a brilliant job colouring them in. Then he usually goes a bit mad. So I pull them back a little bit, and lay out the cards. It's a real team effort.
Clearly this isn't really just about making a game.
I want my kids, Rory and Ben to learn about hard work, games design, probability, art, lay out, writing rules, product design, costings and all kinds of things are good to learn about. Making a game with them has been a way to show them a creative path, and how the whole world around them is someone's idea put into practice.
I really want to show the boys the reality of how a game gets made, and all the different processes involved. So far, everyone had worked very hard and learned a great deal: but next we need to put the game into production. And that's where you helped.
We came to Kickstarter to ask for your help and support and to share with you where our story went next. We had been able to do the design work, play testing, making the art, and laying out the cards. But we just didn't have the kind of money needed to print a game, nor the community of supporters needed to make a game a success.
In return for reading about our adventures in card game design, and for a selection of rewards including the final game itself, you joined us on our quest to bring Rory's game, The Forest Dragon, to life.
Rory had and still has big plans. He's very focused on expansions and extra card sets, and through the campaign with your help we've unlocked loads! The game has come to life!
To help build towards our goal we had some great Add Ons. These were extra things you could pledge for. Most of them were be unlocked as we cleared our Stretch Goal milestones.
Add Ons list

Fire Realm Expansion - add £3

Many of our fans are friends and family who don't know much about Kickstarter. Thanks for making it this far! We love you!
Kickstarter is a website that allows project creators with an idea to pitch that idea to the audience of the Internet. There's usually a product at the heart of a Kickstarter campaign. In this case it's Rory's game.
If people like the idea they can pledge money to the project. If enough money is pledged in order to meet the campaign's funding goal by the end of the campaign - in our case at in December - the money is collected by Kickstarter, they take a cut, and the rest is passed on to the creator. And the project is made a reality.
To encourage and thank supporters, or "backers" as they are known, the project creator can offer a range of rewards. These usually comprise items of increasing value that will be sent to backers who pledge the appropriate amount, if the campaign is successful.
Another encouragement to spread the word and convince others to join in, are stretch goals. These are milestones which unlock extra rewards. Sometimes they allow backers to buy something new, by upping their pledge. Other times they add something into existing rewards for free. In our campaign we're also going to try to spotlight some of the things we've decided to ask to help Rory in his journey to becoming a more experienced games designer.
To pledge to our campaign you need to hit the Pledge button. You'll sign up to an account, decide how much you'd like to pledge, select what kind of reward you'd like - you can chose to just give to the campaign out of kindness, or you can get on board the fun by selecting what you'd like to receive for your support. We'd love you to have a copy of the game.
You throw in whatever you like above the basic pledge levels - there aren't fixed amounts you have to give.
You'll provide some payment details and, if enough people chose to support us, at the end of the campaign your card will be charged. The project creators get in touch a short time after that to collect any additional information they might need.
Following a Kickstarter campaign is a lot of fun. A community of supporters is created, who can all share their excitement and support in the comments section, as well as ask questions or make requests of the project. You'll also receive updates throughout the campaign either here or by email.
For our campaign we've played it very safe - the whole of the base game is done. With children helping to make the core reward we needed to know they'd be able to finish the project. And they have. We just need money for printing and shipping it to you.
Stretch goals are each unlocked as we reach their milestone in our funding level.

A couple of people have cheerlead (cheer leadered? Cheer leaderised?) us all the way - Dom and Francesco. Thank you, friends. Both a huge help and inspiration.
Everyone who's liked, commented and shared our Facebook Page - we really really couldn't have got this far without you.
Lastly thank you to the boy's beautiful mum, Nina. Who has put up with us doing zero chores while we made the game. Sorry! We love you! xox
Risks and challenges
I've helped run kickstarters through my day job, so have a firm grasp on the challenge ahead.
We're keeping things very simple. We have our basic game product planned and costed. Everything for the base set is already completed at a digital level. There's no risk there - it will be ready to start printing at the end of the campaign. We're a bit worried about shipping - the price of moving stuff around the world can change a LOT in a short time. We hope we've done our sums right.
The game is being printed in the US, so shipping the basic stuff there will be relatively low cost. And we will have a big batch sent to us in the UK to send on much more cheaply to UK and Europe.
We'll be using a print on demand service to provide the final games, which will begin as soon as the campaign ends, and any funds we manage to raise clear. If we raise a lot of money, and it is a lot that's needed, we may decide to take the plunge on a full "proper" print run. This adds a whole other level of complexity, time, and to some degree worry. We hope we get there, but we're also very cautious about it. We hope you can be patient with us if we end up in that place.
Our stretch goals are variations on sets of cards, and we're extremely cautious about going beyond that. We want to deliver in a timely fashion, using processes we understand, even if that means a lower final figure. Mum is helping by knitting some wonderful hats. But we're not going to do any other merchandise. If you really want a Forest Dragon T shirt or mug we have a RedBubble store. We'll give details in an update.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

►Tell us about you and your podcast
My name is Tristan Bailey and I run my own digital agency after 15 years in the web industry. I offer consulting strategies and build to companies selling my own products B2B.
The Cliff Notes Podcast is a podcast where we talk to leading people working at the junction of Manufacturing and Digital. It is aimed at managers and owners who need to keep at the top of both industries.
►Why & how did you start this podcast?
I have been listening to podcasts for as long as they have been around, 2 years ago I got enough courage from a mastermind group to start recording myself.
At the start I just wanted to get better at interviewing and public speaking, and maybe make some business connections with a gateway to conversations with great people.
I started recording at the end of 2016 after guesting on a couple of other podcasts and some experiments with friends. So after the experiments it took about 3 months to record and release on my own (intro and outro were hard to decide on).
►How'd you find the time and funding to do this podcast?
I release every month and it takes a few hours to organise a show, then record in 1-1.5 hours (a 30 min show), then takes 3-4 hours to edit. I try and edit in 30 min blocks in the evening. I don't spend anything so far, but this year I will start paying for better hosting with better stats and more space. I am considering paying to edit and promote the shows too, step up the seriousness of it, and put a value on shows.
►What do you gain from podcasting?
No sponsors, but have started getting 3 or 4 leads wanting to be on the show. These could lead to other paid work too. I have not looked for sponsors, and the shows are getting about 100 downloads each after 6 weeks. The benefits to me are getting an industry name, improving my skills, and getting to talk to great people that can open doors.
►How does your podcasting process look like?
We start with a snowball mic and mac, into zencastr, download dropbox, edit in audacity, publish on soundcloud, and that sends to iTunes. I reach out to connections for interviews, and to people I know on linkedin, and get them to introduce me. I also utilize active companies on twitter.
►How do you market your show?
I market the show on iTunes, twitter, my site for show notes, and then on facebook and publish to youtube and other directories.
I find more that if I keep re-promoting a lot of people listen in their browser at work, not on the move. Gets more traffic that way, which has picked up after 1 year.
►What advice would you share with aspiring (new) podcasters?
Watch videos on sound quality, talk to other hosts, and mentors that are hosts. Listen to lots of shows.
►Where can we learn more about you & your podcasts?

2018 Ford F350 Diesel Dually Platinum Review, Super Duty is Great!
Read our review of the 2018 Ford F350 Diesel Dually standard features, Redesign and Changes Interior Exterior, Price and Release Date
The F-series could be your best series from the history of Ford. It has reached the 13th generation and over 950,000 units were sold this past year while in the usa and Canada. The American vehicle manufacturer always pays special attention to the f-350, and the 2018 Ford F350 gets got the best performances thus far. Even the 2018 model attracted some fresh features and developments, and we tried to assemble the main ones.
The purchase price of the f-350 was increased in the last many years, but the 2018 Ford F350 costs only $300 more than the previous model. Just about all trims got this boost in price. Many believe the American vehicle will reach $40000, but Ford should find methods for keeping the price down in order to remain competent. There are lots of similar competitions on the industry which price is far under $40000.
In general, it wot be very different than the prior models of the same generation. Whole bodywork and interior have remained just like before. When it involves the exterior front and rear part are considerably different and these parts faced the greatest changes. Nevertheless, the greatest surprise is under the hood. The brand new model unexpectedly got new powertrains with improved fuel efficiency. Also, you will be satisfied with safety systems, but les go step by step.
There are not many speculations telling us the 2018 Ford f350 would acquire new engines, but it did! The whole lineup was changed, except one engine. The 3.5-liter Eco Boost six-cylinder has remained part of the offer for 2018. It was completely revoked this past year; ergo engineers offered the very same engine in 2013 as well. The base engine is actually a 3.3-liter naturally-aspirated six-cylinder. It delivers 282 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque.
Apart from these types of engines several more units are offered, such as for instance a 2.7-liter Eco Boost six-cylinder and 5.0-liter eight-cylinder. Finally, the lineup is completed by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder. This engine was improved and generates 254 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. Each those engines have improved fuel economy that's an excellent advantage for your fseries. These pick ups have never been called the fuel efficient trucks, but they are moving in the perfect direction. Their fuel economy continues to be not round the average in order that they need to put more effort.
Leading part has been completely redesigned. At the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, we had a opportunity to observe F15s new headlights, grille and front bumper. The grille of the 2018 Ford F350 is a lot larger than the grille on the 20 17 model plus it includes a hexagonal shape. Ford didt use similar grille before. However, you will find some trims without these horizontal bars. Some trims have even faux intake openings. At the rear we got a brand new tailgate and redesigned tail lights. There are some trim levels that have even theF15 stamp on the tailgate.
The F350 got a significant update of the inside two years back and Ford decided to not cover too much interest to the cabin. The interior comes with glare-free materials and is available in lots of unique trims. Seat material depends on the trim and it's usually cloth or leather. The SYNC 3 infotainment system wot can be found in every trim levels, but it features Android Auto and Apple Car Play for your first time. Some of the different features are top notch speakers and 360degree camera, while the moonroof is definitely on the list of most effective advantages.
Pickup truck market keeps growing and you will find more and more pick ups on the streets. We could write several articles pretty much the 2018 Ford F15s main rivals, in this review, we will focus only on two 2018 Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan. Their prices start at $30000 for your base model, while the very best trims cost around $5000. Tundra got a facelift a couple of years ago and the previous model doest have loads of updates and modifications. On the other hand, the Titan was overhauled and now comes even while an everyday cab option. When it has to do with the powertrain, the most potent engines of both of these trucks deliver around 380-390 hp that is way a lot more than new F350 can provide.
Released nearly a couple of years back, the aluminum f-350 was able to consider a fantastic area of the marketplace for itself, and it now dominates the US truck industry. This for a fantastic reason. The vehicle is smooth, powerful, quite efficient because of its class and additionally, it uses the most recent technologies on the industry. Notwithstanding, it appears that in this highly competitive market, Ford will release an update prior to expected. The upcoming 2018 Ford F350 is expected to be the first major update of the truck that ought to include a couple more things than mild outside changes. A brand new engine is likely planning to be launched, and ontop of this, the truck can also be going to make use of beefier parts.
The simple design will not differ from the former model, and we could say that for sure because Ford used afew camouflaged test mules up to now. Recently, these shed lots of their camouflage, and it would appear that the cosmetic changes are kept to a minimum. The price, however, is a totally different story. The new f-350 2018 is already one of the costliest models in its class starting at over $28,000. The 2018 truck is predicted to get that price even further. In addition, a brand new engine choice provides the mid-level trucks to nearly $50000 in which case it'll become one of the most costly offerings in its class by a big margin.
You can find four unique engines choices currently on the f 350. The upcoming 2018 Ford F350 should bump that number to five. The four-current petrol engines will remain unchanged. The base models will still get the 3.5 liters naturally aspirated V6. The 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged v 6 needs to be performed unchanged using its 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque.
The surface of the range model will still have the 3.5 liters Eco Boost v 6 but now it could provide close to 400 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque.
The biggest change here will be the fifth engine, almost certainly a diesel. It appears that Ford may use Jaguas 3 liters turbocharged V6 diesel unit on the trucks. Also, with close to 250 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, it will easily outrun some one of its direct competitors. If Ford undergoes with it, the f-350 will turn into the most effective truck in its class for sure. The 10-speed automatic is also likely to be employed on the opposite engines available with the f-350 that'll improve its fuel efficiency marginally.
2018 Ford F350 CHANGES AND REDESIGN
Unfortunately, while the changes under the hood are likely to be impressive, the 2018 Ford F350 should be just about the same as before every where else. The plan of the truck will be mostly identical to the older truck. We're able to observe new headlights and tail lights together with a more impressive tailgate, but which needs to be it. Its interior, however, may impress us with a greater infotainment system as well as better quality. We do hope that Fors Sync 3 infotainment system is presently going to become available over the scope, at the least as an alternative. Also, their automatic trailer steering system might also be added. This was released on the f350 a couple of months before, and anybody who used it has praised it.

This article describes some of the very basic facial expressions, which which you should attempt to capture in order to have a full photo shoot session.
Much of the attention in photo modelling is given to the way a model poses and dresses. Yet, little or no attention is given to facial expressions. Expressions will make or break a photo shoot.
Photos will be soulless and tell nothing. It is suggested that every model has a couple of expressions, which she is good at, up her sleeve. That way it gives character and meaning to her photos.
In order to improve the overall facial expressions when posing for a photo shoot, a model should use her hands, palms and fingers in a way to compliment and maximize her expressions.
Day Dreaming and FantasizingThis is a pensive mood in which you dream about your aspirations, nostalgic moments and sentimental places. Your facial expressions should be calm and relaxed.
|"Sparks" captured by Alexandra Catana
Loneliness and SadnessHere you should let your mind drift and detach yourself from your surroundings. You should look deep within you and come face to face with your worst fears and heart aches. In order to bring out the best emotions you should feel them rather than act them. Your facial expressions should be tense and stressed.
|Photo captured by Szeredy Photography
HappinessThis should be a straight forward and easy emotion to get across in your photos. Think of enjoyable moments with your family and friends, or funny situations that keep bringing a smile on your face.
|"Girl at Metro" captured by Edgar Barany
Sensual and SeductiveFor many models it comes naturally while others have to put more work in it. Most of the expressions should be transmitted through the eyes and the tilting of the head. Your facial expression should hint lust-fulness and seductiveness.
|Photo captured by Elena Novik
From my experience, I can say that models with a background in acting and dancing, usually find it very easy to express a wide range of emotions through their face and body. If you work closely with your model, it makes sense to work towards perfecting these expressions.
About the Author: I have been fascinated by the human body since the tender age of 7, always with a pencil in hand sketching figures and models. Photography for me is a way through which I aspire to capture the beauty, emotions and passion transmitted through the human body. Source: http://michaelabela.weebly.com/.

". . . but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind . . ." (Philippians 3:13)
"To everything there is a season . . . a time to keep silence . . ." (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7)
Today I will live in the now! I will live in the now because I am breaking the ties with my past by ceasing to speak of things that are over and done with. My conversation today will be in the now . . . what God is doing NOW . . . where I am on my journey NOW . . . the truth and revelation that I am walking in NOW!
Today I will stop bringing up incidents that remind me of the offenses of the past. I will release myself from the hurt and pain caused by others by forgiving them – everyone who has wronged me, whether they have asked for my forgiveness or not. What's done is done, and there is no point in my continuing to speak of negative things that are only going to bring oppression into my life. By forgiving others, even my enemies, I break any power or control that they may have over me emotionally or spiritually.
Today I will stop advertising for my weaknesses and failures. I will be real, humble and transparent. I will even admit when I am wrong and apologize when necessary, but I will not continue to harp on negative things that I have done or said that cause me to blame myself and bring my mind under a cloud of self-condemnation. If Jesus is faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness, then I will have the good taste to honor His justification by shutting up about my shortcomings!
Today I will break any familiar patterns of negative conversation that I am apt to fall into with those who are close to me. I will address the issue head on, for my own good, as well as for the good of the person to whom I am speaking.
Today I will stop letting down my ethical defenses and allowing myself to fall into gossip, verbally judging others or speaking things that will snare me and cause trouble in my life. I am responsible for what I say, so I will use my Holy Spirit-produced fruit of self-control to help me stop and think before I speak. I will walk away from the temptation to engage in idle, non-productive talk with others, and I will finish up every conversation today with no feeling of regret and no fear that my words are going to come back to haunt me.
Today I will be sensitive to the voice of the Spirit when He tells me to be quiet.
Today I will speak words that are like apples of gold in settings of silver, and today I will live in the now!
Father, help me to know when I've said enough today. In Jesus' name, amen.

Thoughts on SAVING GRACE finale.
Heads up: The latter part of this contains some spoilers.
Season two of Saving Grace wrapped last night.
It was very powerful and left me drained of all emotions.
For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Holly Hunter plays Grace Hanadarko, a chain-smoking, hard drinking, foul-mouthed, sexed up, but very good, Oklahoma City police officer.
One night, a very drunk Grace hits a man. After praying for assistance, she is visited by an angel named Earl (Leon Rippy). At first, she does not believe he is an angel (Perhaps because he looks like he just came from a Lynyrd Skynyrd reunion concert), but he ultimately convinced her of his divine nature.
The man she hit (which was a sort of dream), was Leon Cooley (Bokeem Woodbine). Cooley is on death row for killing a guard. Not only do Grace and Leon both have Earl as their last chance Angel, but also share some sort of bond. In the final episode of season two, we find out that Leon knew Grace's late sister (who was killing in the Oklahoma bombing), having helped her with a flat tire.
For Leon, Earl's job was to help prepare him for heaven and bring him calmness and peace in his time of need. During the first two seasons, Earl worked to help Leon find his way to God, to help him develop his own relationship with him. It was especially interesting to see Leon convert to Islam. He thought he would lose Earl, only to open his eyes and see Earl still there, smiling. Earl explained that God does not care what name you use or your manner of worship, only that you do.
The writing beyond the break contains spoilers, you have been warned.
The season two finale ended with Leon's execution. It was shown, not simply inferred. Leon's fear and sorrow was evident and left me weeping, completely forgetting it is a show. The ending, painful as it was, made total sense for the show.
And while season one began with that shared dream, the one that linked Leon and Grace, season two ended up with a similar one that connected Grace with another young lady. That dream appears to be setting the stage for season three.
Overall Saving Grace is a damn impressive show. Hunter is utterly amazing, but the entire cast does an exception job. In particular Laura San Giacomo and Tom Irwin have really stood out. Laura is Rhetta, Grace's best friend, a forensic scientist for the police department. Tom is Grace's brother, Father John Hanadarko. Those two spent a lot of time attempting to get Leon's sentence turned into life instead of death. Their scenes in the last couple of episodes made the execution all the more agonizing to watch. They did an excellent job of displaying power amounts of emotion, without overacting.
I shall miss Mr. Woodbine and look forward to watching his future endeavors.
The future, I think, is quite bright for Saving Grace. Season two saw the show find a nice groove, Holly did not seem to try so hard to make Grace edgy. Of course some credit must go to the writing staff. By mid-season, you had no problem believing these folks were close to one another. Overall, season two saw Saving Grace stand tall as one of the best dramas on television.
Season three of Saving Grace will start, on TNT, on June 16th.

Sign up for the publication and get every day updates on all the very best rumors, information and legends delivered straight to your inbox. Because the invoice has already been handed, stated Chapel, there's little more the NAACP can do now to oppose it—however the journey advisory offers a kind of work round, a approach of signaling the group's issues and elevating awareness in hopes of eventually getting the invoice repealed. Last week, nationwide NAACP delegates voted to undertake the journey advisory, sending it to the national board for ratification in October.
On 2 August 2017, the nationwide board of the civil rights organization the NAACP voted to adopt a travel advisory originally put out by their Missouri chapter warning travelers to exercise caution when touring to Missouri. Law enforcement tactics have come underneath larger scrutiny in Missouri since racially biased policing was uncovered in Ferguson in the wake of teenager Michael Brown's death in 2014. Silver Travel Advisor is an internet site run by mature journey trade professionals each with a ardour for journey.
Chapel says that the advisory is a unique instrument for making folks aware of those events and giving them the opportunity to easily resolve what stage they wish to participate in." He believes it is a part of the NAACP's obligation" to name consideration to what he sees as elevated danger for discrimination in the state. In 2016, the government of the Bahamas issued a travel advisory for the United States , urging its residents to be careful when traveling in the U.S. and to train caution, especially when interacting with police.
The NAACP has by no means before issued a state journey advisory – not even to Mississippi, the place the NAACP's new interim national president Derrick Johnson was former president of the Mississippi State Conference. The NAACP's advisory also cites the newest lawyer general's report exhibiting black drivers in Missouri were seventy five p.c more more likely to be pulled over than whites. The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Travel and Tourism serves because the Board's Executive Director.
Nimrod Chapel: While it is attention-grabbing that the Urban League was assembly in St. Louis immediately after the NAACP conference, the place its delegates recognized the traveling advisory, it is necessary to notice that the journey advisory is not a boycott. Customers who are ticketed to journey on Tuesday, October 24, 2017, who purchased tickets on or earlier than Monday, October 23, 2017, may make one itinerary change – guidelines/restrictions concerning standard change fees, advance purchase, day or time purposes, blackouts, and minimum or maximum stay necessities might be waived.

Hi folks, sorry if this is a bit basic , but whilst repairing my system i noticed water come out of the LNB ( not sure where from exactly just a puddle after a while). On inspection the case had a good 1-2mm gap in places so i was wondering is the LNB waterproof inside or do i risk a short circuit using LNB again? Any help greatly appreciated, cheers people

About This Event
Yoga and Mindfulness to Brighten Your Day:
This class is open to all yogis, from complete beginner to advanced. When we spend all week sitting at a desk, we use the same movements over and over, creating an imbalance that causes pain and discomfort in the body. In this one hour class, we'll counter these habitual movement patterns to bring ourselves back into balance.
We will integrate breath work with movement that will help focus the mind, open the body, and build strength in areas that need it most. This practice will ease stress, calm a busy mind, and bring lightness to the entire body. Get the blood flowing to some good tunes and take a break from the screen before getting your day started!

I'm still having fun in my IDP quest. I've successfully navigated the X509V3Credential issue thanks to some help from the MSDN board and despite some apparently bad or outdated MS doco.
What does that mean? I'm accepting requested along with a client certificate (which I trust), which is then included into the card I issue. When the user selects the card, the CardSpace client will retrieve the certificate from the appropriate store and use it for authentication back to the IDP. The IDP will retrieve attributes based on the certificate subjectDN from an LDAP, and send them back to the user in a SAML assertion. And then it dies.
Why? I'm not including the right WS Security headers in the response, if the CardSpace logging is to be believed. Which ones do I need to include? Got me. I don't know if it's a requirement set by the CardSpace client or by WS-Trust (which I'm admittedly not terribly knowledgeable about), but I'm working on it now. I'm going to review the spec to hopefully find some insight on the problem.

Mark Summers The Engraver!
There are plenty of people who can draw, but not so many who can engrave on scratchboards better than some can draw. Introducing Mark Summers, as a student at the Ontario College of Art in 1976, Mark Summers was introduced to scratchboard by the revered political cartoonist Duncan Macpherson. Soon after graduation, he began circulating his portfolio of portraits. His big break came with a portrait of Douglas McArthur from the New York Times Book Review, and he hasn't stopped working since. [ Continue Reading ]

Dasman Diabetes Institute, which was established by Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS), held its 2nd "Friends of Dasman" Annual Gala Dinner on April 26th in an effort fundraise for its "Student Ambassadors" program and thank the "Friends of Dasman" for their continuous support to its mission of combating the diabetes epidemic in Kuwait.
The event was held at the Dasman Diabetes Institute and was attended by H.E. the U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait Mr. Matthew Tueller, and Cuba's Ambassador to Kuwait H.E. Mr. Andes González, Ms. Shaikha Al-Bahar, Deputy CEO of the National Bank of Kuwait, Dr. Kazem Behbehani, Director General of the Dasman Diabetes Institute, as well as other distinguished guests and members of the Kuwaiti community.
The event highlighted the achievements of the Institute for the past year. The keynote speech of the evening was delivered by the honorary guest, Ms. Sheikha Al-Bahar, who spoke about the vital role that Dasman Diabetes Institute plays in the society and its continuous efforts to combat the epidemiology of diabetes through raising awareness and promoting health education amongst school students and the public. Ms. Al-Bahar reiterated that Dasman Diabetes Institute has become a regionally and internationally recognized Institute for diabetes in less than a decade.
The "Friends of Dasman" foundation is a group of individuals who support the initiatives and activities of the Dasman Diabetes Institute. Dr. Kazem Behbehani commented, "Through all the initiatives and programs of the Dasman Diabetes Institute and support of the "Friends of Dasman," collectively we are all working towards finding innovative ways to reversing the diabetes epidemic in Kuwait. The Annual Gala brought together all the individuals and organizations whose support and contributions are integral to the success of the endeavor."
The Student Ambassadors program is an initiative led by the Education and Training Department of the Institute. It will provide students with real life working experience by offering internships to students where they will have the opportunities to learn and teach outreach sessions and work in research laboratories. The purpose of this program is to build the capacity of students in Kuwait with the intent of making them the future advocates for combating diabetes.
Dr. Bahareh Azizi, Director of Business Development and Communications, spoke about the long-term impact of all the outreach and awareness programs in the Kuwaiti community and said," We believe in this program and know that it can make a difference because the Kuwaiti youth are the agents of change in the country. It is our responsibility to provide them with the knowledge and skills required to build a healthier society for themselves and the future generations of Kuwait."
For the past year, the Dasman Diabetes Institute has been raising awareness and understanding on the value of leading a healthy and active lifestyle through outreach initiatives in public and private schools.

This Spring, we were thrilled to work with one of the high schools in the area for their annual fundraising event at The Landing 1841 in Burlington, WI. The theme was Spring Fling, which was perfect for the almost 70-degree day in April!
We had a lot of fun coming up with the menu, as we wanted to offer something that was light enough for a warm day, but that everyone would really love.
For appetizers, we decided on a fresh vegetable display with a spinach dill dip and a cheese display with a variety of crackers.
The main course featured a plated fresh garden salad with Italian dressing, spice rubbed chicken breast with fresh chili herb topping, tenderloin tips in red wine mushroom sauce, garlic smashed potatoes, and roasted carrots with brussels sprouts. With this meal, we were able to bring some of the colors of Spring onto the plate.
Dessert, which is always our favorite, was a black forest torte with mixed berry topping.
Take a look at some of the pretty pictures below!

Cambodia for beginners
As someone who spends a fair amount of time worrying about tropical diseases and offering advice to visitors to Cambodia, I figured there's no better way to combine the two than talking to doctors in Phnom Penh about new things for everyone to worry about.
Dr Nick Walsh is a public health physician and tropical disease specialist based in Melbourne and Phnom Penh — you might remember him from the excellent advice he gave about the risks involved in taking drugs in Cambodia. He's back to answer questions you might have about malaria in Cambodia.
Where in Cambodia is malaria a problem?
Dr Nick: In all areas of rural Cambodia adjacent to forested areas. Resistant malaria occurs mainly in forested areas in western Cambodia near the Thai-Cambodia border.
Do travellers to Cambodia need to take anti-malarials?
Dr Nick: Avoiding being bitten by mosquitoes is the main priority (DEET, nets, long sleeves, particular care at dusk), but if you are travelling in forested areas in rural Cambodia then you should take malaria prophylaxis. Doxycycline or Malarone are the most common.
If you choose not to take malaria prophylaxis, it is a good idea to carry 12 Malarone tablets (atovaquone and proguanil combined pill) for treatment as this medication or an equivalent is not always available. Always sleep under mosquito nets in these areas, preferably one which has been treated with insecticide.
If travellers choose to take anti-malarials, what are the recommended types?
Dr Nick: Doxycycline — though photosensitivity can be a problem for some people — or Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil combined pill), which is significantly more expensive.
Doxycycline and Malarone can't be taken by pregnant women; pregnant women are recommended not to visit malaria infested areas. Malarone is recommended in kids, as doxycycline can't be taken until eight years of age. Paediatric anti-malarials are not widely available and are best brought with you before you arrive in Cambodia.
Counterfeit anti-malarials are a problem in Cambodia. It's best to bring your own medications, though legitimate medications are available. [Lina's note: The U-Care chain and Pharmacie De La Gare on Monivong Blvd are known for their real, and expensive, medications.]
Do travellers who are only visiting Phnom Penh and Siem Reap need to take anti-malarials?
Dr Nick: Malaria occurs in rural Cambodia though not in the Tonle Sap Lake and river belt which includes Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. If you are visiting Phnom Penh or Siem Reap it is not necessary to take malaria prophylaxis, though it is necessary to take care to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes by applying a DEET-containing mosquito repellent and wear long sleeves if possible.
Dengue is common in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap and is also mosquito-borne. There is no treatment for dengue fever.
Is dengue a bigger risk than malaria, then?
Dr Nick: Dengue is a disease of urban environs, whereas malaria is a disease of rural environs. Most people travel to cities so dengue is a much bigger risk. There is no prophylaxis for dengue, only preventing mosquito bites. Although dengue does occur all year round, the wet season is the high risk season.
[Ed's note: For further general tips on malaria across Southeast Asia, please see a 2007 Travelfish.org feature, which remains highly relevant, here.]
Put your hand up if you just have no idea what you're doing. No idea where to go, when to go or even how to go. Should you be travelling independently or is an organised tour the better way to go. Where are some of our favourites? Read on.
You know when you're going and you know when you're coming back. In between there is a big gap. How do you fill it? Here are some quick pointers.

Want to build a brand relevant to your supporters? Then say what you do in a crisp and clear way.
The Cone Nonprofit Power Brand 100 found that organizations who clearly state their issue focus in their brand names are perceived by consumers as more familiar and personally relevant. For example, the National Cancer Coalition captured higher consumer relevancy ratings than organizations whose names were more ambiguous. Clever or creative branding is good, but clarity makes communication easy - donors, volunteers, clients and potential advocates can easily understand who you are and what you stand for.
Another brand element to consider: your organization or program tagline. Does it support the mission of your organization? Does it say what you do? To explore this topic, nonprofits and foundations of all sizes can enter their taglines in the 2009 Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Awards. Visit Nancy Schwartz's blog for more details about the friendly competition and to submit an entry.

Fun in Foraging (Geelong + Surf Coast Living Magazine - Spring 2014)
A foraging day for the kitchen team at Oakdene is the highlight of the week. Executive Chef Marty Chichester says "We love this time of year because lots of our favourite ingredients are in abundance right on our doorstep, from pine mushrooms to sea succulents, and wild watercress to sea lettuce."
What's even more exciting for the Oakdene chefs is the buzz of heading out to our secret spots around the Bellarine foraging for the wild ingredients and then bringing them back to the Oakdene kitchen to experiment with. This is when the real fun starts!
Like Danish chef Rene Redzepi and New Zealand-born Ben Shewry, of Ripponlea's Attica, Marty and his team are rediscovering the ancient art of foraging; putting wild edibles that many consider weeds and poisonous fungus back on the plate.
But it's not just a chef thing. Marty sees lots of European & Australian families out foraging on the Bellarine. It seems anyone with a passion for food, it's origin and adventure are all heading out to see what the area has to offer. It's a haven for a great day of discovery.
Marty also says he loves getting customers from his cooking class and his apprentices at Oakdene who would never think of eating a weed to try a few things. As he tells people, they're free, they're abundant, they're nutritious and they're delicious.
A common overlooked wild weed is Pursalane. ''Purslane is crunchy and a little bit lemony. It's fantastic in salads or sandwiches - and is one of highest plant sources of [the fatty acid] omega-3.'' explains Marty.
Purslane is not the only leaf that abounds in the suburban parkland. ''If I want to make a salad, I just go out and see whatever's out there and just pick a small handful without disrupting the plant too much,'' he says.
"We are even picking wild watercress at the moment, at a dam near the side of the road on the highway. These amazing wild ingredients grow in the strangest of places" says Marty.
Marty recommends novices start in their own backyard, or those of friends and neighbours, gathering plants that are easy to identify before heading into the wild.
''Look in the most unkempt- looking places you can. A fairly manicured looking park is the worst place to look because they're probably poisoning it and a lot of dogs are usually being walked there. Get off the beaten track a little.''
Autumn and spring are the best times to forage on the Bellarine but even in winter mushrooms, nettles and dandelions can be found, he says.
Picking edible weeds is safer than gathering wild mushrooms but it's important not to eat anything you can't positively identify, he says.
Be adventurous with wild produce but keep the preparation and dressings simple. You can really appreciate the amazing textures and flavours they add to many dishes.

Apple is reportedly looking at developing a high quality audio format, according to Mac Otakaka.
The blog cites anonymous sources at a music industry event who claim Apple has been looking at developing a high resolution audio format.
The format will be available to Apple Music subscribers next year, according to the report.
Details about the project are unclear beyond the supposed frequency of 96kHz/24bit, which is higher quality than a CD at 44.1kHz/16 bit.
Bono, the lead singer of U2 who has appeared onstage at Apple events, has previously hinted that Apple is working on high quality music streaming.
Making high quality music files is problematic as they take up more space than an MP3, which is lower quality and, as such, smaller. The frequency Apple has chosen — 96kHz — would create a very large file, making it less than ideal for people with a 16GB iPhone.
Another issue could be music streaming: Some users' internet connections may not be fast enough for seamless streaming and playback of the larger files.
They come with one big advantage, however: They sound better because there is more digital information about the music.
The report notes that Apple's Lightning port, which comes with every iPhone above the 5, can support high quality audio transfers. This coincides with the unconfirmed rumour that Apple is looking to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone next year in favour of the Lightning port.

The Kaiser of Quotable Quotes ...
>> When asked how he felt before a show: "I have no human feelings."
When asked about how he keeps the weight off: "I eat next to nothing."
And finally, when asked about his insatiable thirst for knowledge, he brushes it off, saying it's not for show: "I like to look very superficial."
Karl Lagerfeld may be ridiculous, and he may even be a bit twisted, but he is absolutely a journalist's dream. You don't even have to milk the good quotes out of him, they just flow out of his mouth, make the story for the writer. This much I knew beforehand, but it becomes even more clear in The New Yorker's new profile of the man himself. The article is long and wordy, in true New Yorker style, but it delves just as deep into Karl Lagerfeld's psyche as Alicia Drake's The Beautiful Fall did -- with one important difference: The New Yorker was granted an interview with Herr Lagerfeld, Drake was not. Enjoy the opportunity given to you by this article, a window into the life and character of the man credited with being the first to take a dead fashion name (Chanel) and revive it. Absolutely fascinating, whether you like what he does and who he is or not.

For Men and People.
O God, the creator and preserver of all, I humbly ask you to help in all conditions of people; that you would be pleased to make your ways known unto them, your saving health to all nations. More especially I pray for your holy Church universal; that it may be so guided and governed by your good Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life. Finally, I commend to your fatherly goodness all those who are in any ways afflicted or distressed, in mind or body; that it may please you to comfort and relieve them according to their needs, giving them patience under their sufferings, and contentment out of all their afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

One problem though, i ran into the green screen problem AGAIN. i returned the gamepad for a repair, and it came back today and nothing changed. the problem was still there. so do i return the whole console for repair since it might be the source of the problem?

Our Customers Say…
What parents have to say about our reliable safe hotel babysitting…
Hello, I wanted to shoot you a quick message and let you know that we were so happy with the service we got from you and Kiana. I'm a full-on wacko when it comes to leaving my dog with strangers, but she was so great and Grover was clearly in love with her. It was a huge relief to go to dinner without worrying about him. Thank you!
Grace was great, and Hudson loved the adventure she took him on. Thank you for helping us. Best wishes for the holidays!
Hi Anne, I wanted to let you know how wonderful It was having Ayano babysit Ayaan last weekend. I can't express how floored I am with her service. I thought it's only fair I share praises with you :). Thank you for sending your best for our son!
../guest at Hotel Vancouver
I just wanted to pass along how happy we were with the care that Erin provided for our children on Saturday night. She showed up a little early and immediately engaged both of our children… they were both quite literally "standing on their heads" for her approval!
As a parent, leaving your children with someone with whom you are not familiar is always a little anxiety-provoking. However, Erin was very much at ease with both of our kids and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. I know that it is sometimes difficult to find good and reliable staff, and that is why I felt compelled to provide you with our very positive feedback. Erin was great and we were very happy with the ease of the arrangement during our stay.
Thank you so much and we will definitely recommend your service to anyone we know headed your way.
..Laura-Lee, Calgary, Alberta

We want our builders to be able to customize our business users' "My Home" pageon their My Site.We have My Sites configured to create a site collection per My Site (I believethis is a best practice). I've tried making myself a Site Collection admin on anindividual user's My Site, but when I try to go to that person's My Site I getredirected to _layouts/viewlsts.aspx when I try to go to the site. I assumethis is because there's a PersonalSpaceRedirect control in default.aspx (which Ihaven't found much info on).Even when I try to look at the default.aspx in his My Site using SPD I get anerror which says "Object moved/n Objeect moved to here."Any ideas on how we can modify other users' "My Home" pages, besides logging inas them?
You won't be able to edit another user's MySite home page. There is logicbuilt-in to the page that will automatically redirect anyone trying to accessthe page, other than the original owner, to the public view of that user's page.As you've already seen, even if you are the secondary MySite administrator youcan't reach the actual home page for the site, only the View all site contentpage. This is part of the way that the Mysite home page is designed.
