It is important to discuss how definitions is approached from a postmodern perspective. First, as should be evident, there are no universal definitions of any particular word. Meanings are socially constructed. We can talk about how a word is generally used or used by a particular individual, but we can't talk about a universal approach to language. Furthermore, the same word is often used different in different settings (Wittgenstein's Language Games). This makes language and communication a complex process with lacks the certainly assumed in modernity and premodernity. My suggestion is to hold on loosely to language and definitions. In other words, it is more important to understand how the world is being used by a particular individual in a particular setting than to debate specific universal definitions of a term or approach to language. A final note, you will find other scholars, including postmodern scholars, who would not agree with the definitions provided here. This is just another wonder of the postmodern world! Click here for an alternative dictionary with some variations in definitions. Readers may also be interested in the Existential Dictionary.
Absolute Relativism: This is an extreme form of relativism which asserts that all truths are equal and completely dependent upon some external or contextual factors. Most forms of relativism are not this extreme.
Anti-Realism: The anti-realists believe there is no ultimate truth. Truth is seen as something that is socially constructed and/or relative. See also Realism, Critical Realism, and essay On Realism.
Apologetics: A rational defense for the existence of God. This branch of theology emerged in the modern period as a consequence of the changes approaches to proving God existed. Both reason and scientific evidence were used to provide evidences for this rational defense of faith or belief in God.
Bracket: To bracket means to hold constant or remove the influence of. This is similar to the idea of a control in quantitative research. To bracket in philosophical inquiry is used to be to hold constant or control for one's biases or prejudices. It's often assumed to allow for an individual to be objectivethrough bracketing their subjective biases.
Capital "T" Truth: See Ultimate Truth.
Critical Realism: Critical realism maintains that there is some ultimate or absolute truth; however, this is always limited in content or scope. Some critical realists state there ultimate truth may only exist on some levels, such as science, but not on others, such as morality. Other critical realists may state that there is an ultimate truth, but it can only be partially known. See also Realism, Essay On Realism.
Deductive Knowledge : Deductive knowledge is extracted from (e.g., deduced) from general principles. Compare with Inductive Knowledge.
Empiricism: Empiricism has an interesting history that provide a great illustration social construction of language. When we think of empiricism today, we generally think of research. "Empirical studies" is a common term for research projects. These research projects generally involve the use of statistics in determining truth as much as the senses. Some research involves very little direct use of the senses in determining truth in the classical sense. Historically, the "empiricism" referred more specifically to knowing through the senses. This initial idea was "I know because I've seen" or "I know because I felt (touched) it."
Epistemological Humility: This term is used to refer to an understanding of the limits of an epistemological perspective. Epistemological humility reflects a belief or adherence to an epistemological stance as valid or authoritative, but not complete. Generally, this is used in the context of an epistemology which is associated with a particular viewpoint, such as a religious perspective or scientism. Compare with Epistemological Relativism.
Epistemological Modesty: See Epistemological Humility.
Epistemological Pluralism: This is an epistemological approach which utilizes multiple approaches to knowing and is distrustful of over-reliance on any one epistemological approach. From this position, it is believed that multiple approaches to knowing are needed to better approximate truth.
Epistemological Relativism: This is a more extreme position in which it is believed that all epistemologies are equal. It is often associated with an absolute relativism position. Compare with Epistemological Humility.
Epistemology: The study of knowledge or the nature of knowledge. Epistemology essentially refers to the question of "how to we know what we know." In this sense, epistemology is the foundation of psychology, philosophy, science, and all human knowing. It is the most essential branch of philosophy.
Foundationalism: This is a theory of knowledge or form of epistemology which assumes that all knowledge is built upon certain principles, givens, or unquestionable knowledge.
Hermeneutics: The idea of hermeneutics emerged from theology and literature referring to the process through which people interpret classic texts. Over time, the usage of hermeneutics expanded to include many forms of texts, including people as texts. The central meaning of this concept remains tied to approaches to interpretation.
Inductive Knowledge: These are general premises or principles which are determined from a number of more general statements or observations. Compare with Deductive Knowledge.
Logic: From a postmodern view, logic can be seen as a social constructed methodology. In other words, the idea that principles of logic are universal is seen as an oppressive metanarrative from a postmodern perspective. A concrete example is the difference between Eastern and Western approaches to logic. What is deemed as logical in one is illogical in another. This suggest that different cultures may have different approaches to reasoning through ideas.
More specifically, logic is the methodology of reason. The rationalists believed that our ability to reason or think through things was the best way to "know" (i.e., the preferred epistemology). The implicit assumptions, as suggested above, is that pure reason is possible and it can lead to an understanding of ultimate truth. However, the rationalists also recognized that it is impossible to ascertain ultimate truth just by raw reason. This was evidenced in the many different perspectives on ultimate truth. Logic was seen as the principles of reason that, when applied correctly, led to the discovery of ultimate truth.
Materialism: This position believes that all things that are real have a material or physical substance. It discounts any metaphysical reality (i.e., non-material). This is often used interchangeably with physicalism.
Metanarrative: A metanarrative has some similarity to Kuhn's "paradigm;" however, there are some important differences. First, the terms are generally used in different settings. Metanarratives are generally used in philosophical and social science settings. Paradigm is the preferred term in scientific settings. The primary emphasis of a metanarrative refers to a set of beliefs applied universally that is unquestioned by the individual and/or group holding those beliefs.
Metaphysics: This is the brach of philosophy that deals with what is real or the nature of reality. In many ways, this is quite similar to epistemology and ontology. However, some important distinctions exist. Things can exist without being (ontology) and things can be real with out our comprehension or knowing (epistemology). Metaphysics tends to deal with things that are unseen. For example, "do we have a mind that is separate from our material brain?" is a metaphysical question.
Does God exist? Do we have a soul? Can we communicate with people who have passed away? All these are other metaphysical questions.
Methodology: Methodology is a very difficult term. Essentially, methodology is the process or structure of epistemology used to determine truth, approximate truth, develop theories, or critique ideas. We all have implicit methodologies that shape the way we go about determining what we see as truth. At times, these may not be internally consistent (i.e., people may utilize different methodologies that contradict each other without realizing it).
Some examples may clarify. The most well known methodology is the scientific method. This is the process which science uses in their attempts to determine truth. Premodernism tends to use a methodology which focuses on explorations of revealed truth. For some, this is a "literalism" (Biblical Literalism, for example) in which there is believed to be a very literal, straightforward truth in the sacred text or other form of revealed knowledge. More complex premodern approaches focus on processes intended to get the original meaning of the sacred text. Conversely, postmodernism focuses on an epistemological pluralism which utilizes multiple processes to approach knowing. (see logic for another example of a methodology)
Moral Realism: Moral realism holds that, on some level, there is an absolute truth regarding what is moral. Stated differently, there are things that are definitively right and definitively wrong. While moral realists do no agree about the degree to which individuals can ascertain what in right to wrong in the ultimate sense, they generally do believe some things can be determined as right or wrong in an absolute sense. This position is often pitted against absolute relativism or the idea that morality is always socially constructed and dependent upon the culture in which the system of morality was developed. See also Realism and essay On Realism.
Objective: Being objective means to have no bias or distortions; to see things are they actually are. It assumes the individual is able to bracket their subjective perspective, biases, and prejudices. Postmodernism, in general, questions the degree to which we can obtain objectivity. Compare with Subjective.
Objective Truth: This is an unbiased truth. It is often used to mean Ultimate Truth. Compare with Subjective Truth.
Ontology: This refers to the study of or nature of being. This can refer to the study of being in the broad sense of what does it mean to exist or be. It can also be used to refer to an individual's ontology or an individual's being. In many ways, psychology could be seen as the study of ontology or what it means to be.
Pantheism: This refer to the belief that God is everything. In other words, the sum total of all that exists is God. Compare to panentheism.
Panentheism: This is the idea that God is in everything. It differs from pantheism which says God is the sum total of everything. Compare with pantheism.
Paradigm: The concept of paradigm was initially introduced by Thomas Kuhn (1996). Essentially, a paradigm refers to the world view through which the world around us is interpreted. They are constructed through the process of building knowledge and the world view and assumptions about truth which emerge from this process. Different types of paradigms can exist. For example, there are many cultural paradigms which are largely shared between individuals from a particular cultural background. People also have individual paradigms which influence the way they view the world (similar to the idea of a world view). Each of the three major philosophical epochs (premodernism, modernism, and postmodernism) can be seen as one example of a paradigm. Compare with zeitgeist and metanarrative.
Kuhn did not see paradigms as something that could be applied to the social sciences. His belief was based upon the idea that the social sciences are not build upon "provable" information, but rather theories. This belief about whether a paradigm is provable is important to distinguish between a paradigm and metanarrative (it could be maintained that paradigm applies to science in a similar manner to how metanarratives apply in the social sciences and culture at large).
A common example used to describe the impact of a paradigm is the sunglass effect. If you imagine having four different pair of sunglasses. Each pair of sunglasses is a paradigm that influences how you see the world. When you put on the red sunglasses everything looks different than when you have the gray or blue sunglasses. While wearing the red sunglasses, it may be more difficult to notice some aspects of your environment than it would be with the gray sunglasses. So the world appears different and we also may see things with one paradigm would not be evident with a different one.
Philosophy of Science: The philosophy of science essentially refers to epistemology as it is applied to science. In other words, how do we know what we know scientifically. In the hard sciences, the philosophy of science has long been based upon the scientific method and empiricism. More recently, quantum physics has called this into question. For much of the history of psychology, it has attempted to replicate this philosophy of science to apply to psychology. However, there have always been strong dissenter voices.
Physicalism: This position asserts that all things are physical or material, and thus can be understood in terms of their physics. This discounts any non-material reality (i.e., metaphysics). This is often used interchangeably with materialism.
Realism: Realist believe that there is an ultimate truth or ultimate reality that does exist. There are many forms of realism. For example, some realists believe that this ultimate truth or reality can be known, while others believe that it exists but cannot be known (see also anti-realism). Additionally, realism is sometimes defined as referring to a material reality, while at other times it can be understood as referring to a material or metaphysical reality. In other words, realism consistently refers to a 'reality' or something which truthfully exists in the world; however, it is not agreed upon as to what is real. See also Scientific Realism, Critical Realism, and essay On Realism.
Relativism: Relativism is generally based upon the premise that all truth or knowledge is subjective, therefore all truths are equal. However, this is more of an extreme form of relativism which could be referred to as absolute relativism Relativism is often used to state that there is a relative aspect to all truth, but this does not mean that all truths are equal. Compare with relative.
Relative: Things, concepts, or truths which are relative are based upon a context, but not necessary absolutely relative. As compared with absolute relativism, which has to referent point, when something is relative it is often relative to something. Stated differently, it has a point of reference that may limit the degree of relativism. Compare with relativism.
Science: Postmodernism often assumes that the idea of science is socially construct and has evolved over time. In contemporary society, it is often assumed that science refers to experimentation (generally quantitative) which involves the scientific method. Postmodernism will sometimes use a broader definition of science to include all systematic approaches to inquiry.
Scientific Method: This may be a different approach to defining the scientific method than what is commonly taught in science classes. These courses generally focus the particulars of the scientific method and how to implement it. This definition focuses on the underlying philosophy of science. There are two primary epistemological assumptions underlying the scientific method: Reason and empiricism (knowing through the senses). The scientific method emerged out of the development of modernism which replaced the epistemology of revelation with rationalism and empiricism. When you look closely, there are several rational assumptions which underlie the scientific method. Reason or logic are applied to how sensory information is interpreted to form what becomes the basis of the scientific method.
Scientific Realism: This type of realism generally assumes what is real can be studied and quantified by science. Generally, this suggests a material realism.
Subjective: The subjective in philosophical discussions is typically used to refer to something that is personal or individual, such as an individual's subjective (e.g., personal) truth. In many philosophical discourses, it goes beyond just the personal to the embodied. In other words, its a truth that is known through personal experience or through the person. Compare with Objective.
Subjective Truth: This refers to a personal or relative truth. Subjective truth is tied to the individual and more embodied. Compare with Objective Truth.
Ultimate Truth: Ultimate truth is also referred to as capital "T" truth or universal truth. This truth applies in all times and in all situations. At times, ultimate truth will be separated from smaller truth which may not be universal in their application across situations and time. Ultimate truth is often written as "Truth" in order to distinguish it from smaller "truths."
Universal Truth: See Ultimate Truth.
Zeitgeist: This is generally characterized as the spirit of the times. This has some similarities to Thomas Kuhn's idea of paradigms. The major difference from Kuhn's conception of paradigm is that zeitgeist is assumed to have a progressive influence or impact which tends to push culture forward. Compare with metanarrative.

To become an ornithologist, the most common route is to earn an undergraduate degree in biology and then either or both a master's and a Ph.D. in a biology program with a strong focus on the biology of birds. Afterwards, graduates typically apply for membership with a professional ornithology society and commence work in this field. Occasionally, students are able to earn a degree in one of the very few programs solely devoted to ornithology; otherwise they will earn a different undergraduate degree. Additionally, some people are bird biology experts without having attended school. These paths are less traditional and most people will enter this profession by earning degrees in biology.
Ornithology is a subspecialty of biology, so the logical course to become an ornithologist is to first become an expert in biology. Students should plan to attend a college offering a bachelor's degree with this undergraduate major. If individuals intend to study ornithology in depth, they may want to look for schools that have a strong program in the biology of birds. This can help prepare them for Ph.D. or master's programs at a later point.
Toward the end of an undergraduate program, students must weigh whether they wish to continue school. Some people with a bachelor's degree do become ornithologists and might work for researchers or at natural history museums. They tend to do this at a lower level of pay, have fewer job opportunities, and are unlikely to be able to get grants to initiate research, however. There are, thus, disadvantages to not attending graduate school.
To avoid limiting professional opportunities, most students continue their education to become an ornithologist by earning a Ph.D. or a master's degree in biology. The Ph.D. is usually a better degree to earn because it allows people to teach and research; whereas the master's degree (MS) may somewhat limit employment opportunities and pay. The MS is shorter, though, which can be appealing to students who would like to start working as an ornithologist sooner.
Since there are so few programs that only specialize in ornithology, students need to look for biology departments that have a number of faculty, who are ornithologists, or schools that have a strong ornithology subspecialty. It's usually easy to find this information by speaking with college biology departments, reading faculty bios, and finding out if a university participates in any ongoing bird research projects. Universities near large or protected bird colonies may be more likely to offer student research and study opportunities.
If the Ph.D. is sought, ideally students should also design a dissertation that focuses on ornithology. Some experts in this field suggest writing it in chapters that are publishable in scholarly publications. Being able to publish research before graduation can help people become more known in their field, make it easier to find work, and usually fulfill requirements for entry to professional organizations to become an ornithologist.
After finishing educational programs, individuals will become an ornithologist by finding work in the field. Professionals may commence work in a variety of research jobs, in direct animal care employment, as teachers, or as lecturers. Belonging to ornithology professional organizations usually assists graduates, and may even provide job search resources for members.

I've heard that agents and publishers and perhaps even readers get wary when you admit you wrote a novel in 30 days. National Novel Writing Month – i.e. November – is called "30 days of literary abandon" for a reason. Every day, we Wrimos write – or hope to write – approximately 1700 words on an imagined novel. We imagine the novel. Some of us outline it. I laugh. "Outline? What's an outline?" Rather, I have a vague idea of my main character and a clearer idea of what changes him, hopefully for the better.
So, Happy All Saints' Eve. And know I'm getting geared up to write 50,000 words in 30 days beginning at midnight.

Kitchens have always served as the heart of the home. Considering the popularity of open-concept kitchen/ living areas, this fact is all the more true than ever. This is why it comes as no surprise that kitchen remodeling is so popular. Not only does a kitchen remodel create an enjoyable space for you to cook, entertain, and gather as a family, but they can also payoff in terms of boosting your home's resale value. However, how much they pay off is a much trickier question.
Every kitchen remodel is different. Not only because each remodel will cater to the needs and the taste of those who order the change, but also because the work needed will be highly individualized based on the condition, age, layout, and size of the home (even if is electrically powered or it has a gas cooktop). Additionally, the average cost per project varies depending on the size of the kitchen, if any structural changes are needed, and the quality of materials used.
The Average Cost Of A Kitchen Remodel
The average kitchen remodel costs more than $20,000. Additionally, smaller kitchen touch-ups can range from $10,000 – $15,000. You can see why, with so much money invested within one space of a home, a homeowner will want to be sure that they are investing directly into the value of their home as well.
Luckily, a kitchen remodel, if done properly, continue to be one of the best investments a homeowner can make in their house. Updated kitchens are always on the top of the list of what buyers want. However, if you are considering sinking some money into a kitchen remodel this year, there are some things that you may want to keep in mind.
The Return On Investment In A Kitchen Remodel
Firstly, the return that you will get from your kitchen remodel will largely depend on the value of your home, the average value of homes in your neighborhood, the housing market, how soon you sell your home, and the quality of your improvements. For example, installing a $10,000 appliance in a $100,000 house is not likely to pay off.
However, in many markets, a kitchen remodel returns more than 100 percent of the investment cost. This is great news for homeowners in hot markets such as San Diego. where a kitchen remodel can offer triple-digit returns. The numbers show that even when kitchen remodeling San Diego homes with a smaller total investment, the return is still often more than 100 percent of the total cost.
Does a kitchen remodel pay off? The short answer is yes. However, before you make changes in your kitchen, consider the cost, the value of your home, and how the changes will benefit your lifestyle.

In a touching display of love and dedication, terminally ill father Garth Callaghan plans to leave a handwritten note in his daughter's lunch box each day until she graduates from high school, even after he passes.
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer one and kidney cancer twice, Callaghan's doctor told him that he had an 8% chance of surviving another five years. Wanting to connect with his daughter Emma in the time he has left, Callaghan started the project 'Napkin Notes'.
For this project, Callaghan jots down some meaningful life advice on a paper napkin, which he then stores inside Emma's lunch box.
According to Callaghan, he told Mashable that Emma loves his Napkin Notes, and that she "looks forward to them each day".
"She has friends that are jealous of her notes," he added. "I am just thankful with the fact that she feels comfortable enough with her own self and shares them with friends."
Thus far, Callaghan has completed 740 Napkin Notes, and has 86 more to go until Emma graduates. Emma herself doesn't know about the project.
"I am sure that I will have to have that discussion with her soon, but honestly, we don't talk about cancer statistics in our home, and I don't want her to focus on that," said Callaghan.
Besides bonding with his daughter, Callaghan also hopes that the project will inspire other parents to connect with their children through handwritten messages.
Check out some of his inspiring messages below, or head over to Callaghan's blog to find out more.

Pediatric Sagittal Craniosynostosis
Pediatric Sagittal Craniosynostosis
What is Pediatric Sagittal Craniosynostosis?
Sagittal craniosynostosis (scaphocephaly) is the most common form of isolated craniosynostosis. Patients with this pattern of suture closure make up about half of all craniosynostosis cases. All skull bone growth occurs perpendicular or growing away from the suture. The sagittal suture runs lengthwise along the top of the skull from front to back, therefore the growth at this suture gives the skull its width.
When the sagittal suture is closed the skull can't widen, so the remaining open sutures must create more bone to make room for the growing brain. The orientation of the remaining open sutures – the coronal, lambdoid and metopic sutures – can only create bone perpendicular to their axis.
Sagittal Craniosynostosis Before and After photos
What are the signs and symptoms of Pediatric Sagittal Craniosynostosis?
The lack of bone growth at the sagittal suture and extra bone growth at the remaining open sutures makes the head longer and narrower than usual. In some children, there is more fullness (bossing) of the forehead. In others, the back of the head may be more significantly affected with a longer, narrow and coned shape. In some patients, the changes in shape may be even distributed from front to back. Boys tend to have this type of craniosynostosis more than girls with a ratio of 4 boys to each girl with this defect.
How is Pediatric Sagittal Craniosynostosis treated?
There is no one operation that works well for all patients. In general, the treatment strategy depends on the age of the patients at the time of diagnosis. If the patient is between birth to 4 months, a limited incision extended strip craniectomy with helmet is performed. If the patients presents from age 4 months or older, then an open cranial vault remodeling is performed.
There are many approaches to open cranial vault remodeling in sagittal synostosis. In general, the skull bones are removed in the areas of abnormal restricted and compensatory growth and repositioned to over correct the head shape and increase the space in the skull. In general, for sagittal suture craniosynostosis the surgeries are aimed at restoring normal dimensions in the width, height and length of the skull. Rarely, surgeons use cranial vault distraction.

Theda Bara
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e
Theda Bara was the stage name of Theodosia Burr Goodman (July 29, 1885 - April 7, 1955), a silent film actress. Movie executives made promotional claims that her stage name was chosen because it is an anagram for "Arab Death." In reality, "Theda" was a childhood nickname for Theodosia. "Bara" was a shortened form of her maternal grandfather's last name, Baranger.
Bara was one of the most popular screen actresses of her era, and was one of cinema's earliest sex symbols. Her femme fatale roles earned her the nickname "The Vamp" (short for vampire). The term "vamp" soon became a popular slang term for a sexually predatory woman. Bara, along with the French film actress Musidora, popularized the vamp persona in the early years of silent film and was soon imitated by rival actresses such as Nita Naldi and Pola Negri.
Her exemplary role is in A Fool There Was (1915)

Income, Inequality, and Food Prices: A Critique of Broda, Leibtag, and Weinstein's "The Role of Prices in Measuring the Poor's Living Standards"
Publication Date: December 2010
Publisher(s): Center for Economic and Policy Research
Author(s): Shawn Fremstad
Topic: Social conditions (Poverty and homelessness)
Keywords: poverty; poor; prices; food
Coverage: United States
In "The Role of Prices in Measuring the Poor's Living Standards," Christian Broda, Ephriam Leibtag, and David E. Weinstein (2009) use proprietary data—the 2005 Nielsen Homescan dataset—to analyze differences by income level in the prices paid for food. They find that Nielsen households with incomes above $60,000 pay somewhat more for the same food items than most households with lower incomes, with Nielsen households with incomes above $100,000 paying the most. Based on this finding and additional regression analyses, they conclude broadly that the "poor pay less—not more—for the goods they purchase" and that not accounting for this suggests that income inequality may be between 2.5 to 5 percent less than shown by national statistics.

What Our Clients Say
Namaskaram, I have been doing yogasanas for the last few months. They have improved my flexibility considerably. I have also become calmer than I was before and I feel very light in the body. Before I started the practice I had some issues with my spine, they seem to be sorted right now. I am also able to sit for longer durations when I am studying without feeling much tired now.
I had a truly wonderful experience learning Surya Kriya from Roohi. The instructions were precise, clear and highly descriptive. Not only was the practice made clear about the physical steps but also the breathing in each step, which I thought was so important. This brought alive the spiritual part of the practice, beyond the physical which is what I had always associated it with.

Top Republicans put pressure on Craig
Congressional pressure began to mount Wednesday on embattled Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, as Senate Republican leaders asked him to temporarily step down from key committee and subcommittee posts and three leading members of Congress called for his resignation.
At the urging of the GOP Senate leadership, Craig stepped down as the ranking Republican on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee and on two subcommittees - one on appropriations and another on energy and natural resources.
Story Continued Below
"This is not a decision we take lightly but we believe this is in the best interest of the Senate until this situation is resolved by the Ethics Committee," read a statement signed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.), GOP conference Chair Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Senate Republican Policy Committee Chairwoman Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), and NRSC Chairman John Ensign (R-Nev.)
Craig has been under fire in Washington and at home since Monday, when it was revealed he had pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a police sting operation in a Minneapolis airport restroom. Craig now contends he did nothing wrong and should have contested the charge.
Senate leaders convened successive conference calls on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss the arrest after being caught off guard by the news when it broke.
Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called on Craig to resign from Congress in an appearance on CNN's "Situation Room."
"I believe that he pled guilty, and he had the opportunity to plead innocent," McCain said. "So I think he should resign. My opinion is that when you plead guilty to a crime you shouldn't serve."
McCain was joined by Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), who issued a statement calling for Craig's resignation.
"Sen. Craig pled guilty to a crime involving conduct unbecoming a senator," Coleman said. "He should resign."
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) was the first member of Congress to call for Craig's resignation. The conservative congressman issued a statement calling Craig's conduct "inappropriate for a U.S. senator."
"The voters of Idaho elected Sen. Craig to represent their state and will decide his future in 2008 should he fail to resign. However, he also represents the Republican Party, and I believe that he should step down, as his conduct throughout this matter has been inappropriate for a U.S. senator," Hoekstra said.
In a news conference Tuesday, Craig said he would announce in coming weeks whether he will seek reelection.
Patrick O'Connor contributed to this story.

Oh, no she didn't! Yes, she did. Rihanna took a moment from her brief cameo appearance yesterday to share with her Twitter fan base a flash of her diamond grill with a caption of, "'I'm an outlaw b***h!!"
Probably not. Or maybe, if she didn't show up on time. Jay-Z and Timberlake were the big winners of the star studded Wireless Festival in London. As Jay-Z was settling into his final number 'Run This Town' the crowd erupted into raucous cheers as Rihanna's voice started the song.
Wearing a scantily clad mix of a white bra top and tight, leather skirt, Rihanna joined her mentor on stage to share in the spotlight. The crowd was entranced and showed nothing but love for the singing sensations. RiRi didn't stay too long, her friend thanked her for coming before she departed. This of course gave the lithe beauty a moment backstage to grab her camera and flash her diamond grill to share with her many fans on Twitter.
It was nice to see Rihanna show up on stage and share it with her long-time mentor, especially since lately she has been making late a new fashion statement. This brief moment with Jay-Z should remind the Barbados darling to appreciate her fans.
Rihanna's tardiness started becoming a habit last last year when she arrived at the start of her '777 Tour' two hours later. The singer blamed "issues with luggage" not paying particular attention to over 100 fans and reporters who also made the trek to Mexico City, with luggage in tow.
During the same tour, Rihanna was accused of lip-syncing, barely dancing and to the frustration of dedicated fans, issued a nonchalant apology. Moving into 2013 RiRi's unapologetic behavior continued.
July 10 was the most recent incident, Rihanna had a scheduled concert in Monaco, and showed up a record three hours and 10 minutes late. No apologies again. The exclusive event was $800 per person and fans were to dine on an upscale dinner while the singer performed. Incensed fans took to Twitter with messages like, "Are you lost?" and "YOU'RE LATE BABY."
It is with high hopes Jay-Z has taken an issue and a seat with his young prodigy. RiRi has to understand that fans will only take so much abuse before pinning her negatively. Social media is a deadly tool for any celebrity and she can easily end up on the wrong side of fan appreciation to earning scathing reviews.
The once media darling is now drawing the ire of of music critics. Belgium music critic Sasha Van Der Speeten bit into the Barbados behind of RiRi, "There was a wall of reinforced concrete between Rihanna and the public at Sportpaleis. The pop icon played almost two hours on autopilot … it had the effect of a Valium overdose."
Ouch. Even fans are taking to Twitter to share their displeasure of the declining commitment Rihanna has shown. Fans are relaying their experiences from her recent concert, calling her "drunk" and "stoned." Rihanna simply cannot expect to receive fan accolades and continued commitment with such careless regard to her actions.
At least during the Wireless Festival when Jay-Z started 'Run this Town' Rihanna was there as expected to start the song. Let's hope she flashes less diamond grill and learns from grandmaster JayZ who holds an impeccable record of attendance and commitment to fans. Maybe their brief stage share will remind Rihanna how far she has come, because of the fans.

What is the purpose for having a youth ministry in the church? Why do churches have youth ministry?
When the church ceases to place priority on reaching young people for Christ as opposed to making sure the youth ministry in the church exists and doesn't fall flat, when having young people in the actual ministry, it ceases to become a ministry but a tradition. A tradition of maintaining numbers in a program that is listed on the church's organogram.
When something becomes part of "what we've always done here at this church" as opposed to asking the question, "what is the purpose of this particular ministry or practice?" it makes a bold statement that we'd rather have something for the sake of having something. It makes answering the questions of "why" uncomfortable and wanting to avoid instead of answering, "is there a need for this?" Too often the means becomes the purpose, and youth ministry has taken this route, where it has become a purpose instead of a means to reach young people for Christ.
Now I would want to believe that there will always be a need for youth ministry, therefore we would always see the need for youth ministry and have it in our church as part of who it is and not of what it does.
Why churches should always have a youth ministry:
- The Bible says so
- When Jesus said we are to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:19), he wasn't just referring to adults. Yes, children were not seen in the light as they are today, considering the patriarchal society of the Bible, but they are part of humanity that Jesus died for. When witnessing about Jesus Christ to the nations, we should include the youth.
- The world is young
- People under the age of 25 already make up more than 43% of the world population. If we want to impact this world, we have to begin with our youth. Almost everything in the world market is geared toward our youth, if the economists and marketers know that, then we as a church will have to wake up soon before we lose more ground.
- The youth is the church of now
- As clichéd as it might be, we need to remind ourselves again and again that our youth is important now! Not tomorrow! Now! We need to put our resources, our time, our prayers, our support behind our youth. They are not an investment where we hoping for some good return in a few years. Youth matter and they matter now like the present church because they are the present church. By saying they're the church of tomorrow is telling them that they do not matter right now, that their youth is frowned upon. This goes against the very verse that Paul told Timothy, "don't let anyone look down on you because of you are young" (1 Tim 4:12).
- Economically – they are the influx of finance
- While this may not sound very spiritual, but where the youth are the money is. If youth attend your church, you can almost be assured their parents will follow and so will their finances. When youth graduate, hopefully they will be following in the footsteps of Christ as personal saviour, but also that they would not leave the church. By not leaving the church, neither would their resources. If you looking for a sure way to cripple the church, then ignore the youth. Treat them as unimportant, as a minority and make the way wide open for them to leave at the end of their schooling years to seek purposes elsewhere.
- By ministering to youth, we shape society
- If you want to know what our society will look like in the years to come, then don't look at our current political leaders. While they may make policies today to govern tomorrow, they are not what will shape society. It is our youth that will shape society. Have a look at our history, it has always been our youth that has shaped South Africa. Have a look at our youth today to see what our society will look like tomorrow.
So, why have youth ministry? You tell me…

Fat Pages & Cards With Attitude Challenge #8- Anything Goes
Here's another great challenge site for you to play at. It runs for 2 weeks and for Challenge #8 it's Anything Goes so you can let your creative mojo flow. We've opened it up to cards as well as Fat Pages, so there's no excuse not to come play along. There's even prizes.
My Fat Page this fortnight all digital, no stamping, only tearing and sponging the edges. I found this wonderful piece of music paper with the heart in the center. I printed one with the digi from Floppy Latte, our sponsor, in the center of the heart and on the other page I printed the words-Music for my Soul...
I tore and inked the edges of that piece and attached it to the Fat Page base. I then cut out the heart, inked the edges, and attached it with dimensionals to the Fat Page.
It makes a very romantic page, don't you think? When I first saw this digi my first thoughts were of Chopin and George Sand. She was madly in love with him and would lay under his piano while he played.
Hop over and check out the other DT members creations, we didn't all use the same images, and get some great inspiration for entering in Challenge #8.
Happy Creating--

The kitchen is one of the busiest areas of any home. For most families, this is actually a great thing since they get to spend precious time together. If you are a busy mom, however, it can be a whole different story.
If you are looking for kitchen items and appliances that can make your tasks a whole lot easier and quicker to finish, here are 5 of the must-have things you should invest in.
1. Smart dishwasher
If you've spent several hours preparing meals for your visitors, the last thing you want to happen is to spend as much time cleaning up the dishes. In case this has been your constant struggle, it's probably a good idea to invest in smart dishwasher already.
The appliance might cost you some cash, depending on the features and brand, but it can surely make a big difference in your life in the kitchen. Smart dishwashers can save you energy, water and detergent since you can wait to have a full load. Apart from that, some dishwashers can do pre-rinsing so you won't have to do it by your hands.
2. Smart refrigerators
Refrigerators are helpful in keeping your food from spoiling. Food going bad isn't only a waste of food supply but it can also pose health risks.
Aside from those benefits, smart refrigerators actually offer more convenience. There are units that can actually keep track of what food items are still available. If you've been hard guessing how many eggs or butter you still have in your fridge, a smart refrigerator can be an easy solution. What makes this appliance even more interesting is the app it can come with. Some smart refrigerators are actually way too smart that they can connect with your smart phone. Other that quantity, you can also use the app to check on expiration dates.
3. Electric kettles
If you have been doing too many chores at home, it's relatively easy to lose track of your tasks. This includes boiling water. Electric kettles can make a great addition to your kitchen since they can automatically turn off once the water boils. They can help you save money on both water and electricity since you won't have to reheat the water in case you forgot.
However, if you can't seem to find yourself investing in an expensive electric kettle, you can go for whistling kettle instead. There are kettles that come with unique designs so you won't have to worry about your kitchen looking odd and old. One good example is the King Hoff MYLIFESTYLE kettle.
4. Slow cooker
Slow cookers make a great investment, especially for those people who are too busy with work. Just throw in all the ingredients and set the cooker to get your meals done in 6 or 8 hours, depending on your preference. This appliance can also make preparations a lot easier, particularly if you'll be having some friends over. You won't need to delay your other recipes just because you are waiting for your soup to cook.
5. Microwave oven
Microwave ovens are useful when it comes to heating meals. Newer versions, however, can do more than just reheat. Some of them can now bake and even cook.
If you are looking for an oven that can do these things, it's a good idea to know your options. Microwave ovens vary in size and wattage. They also come in different heating techniques. In case you prefer a more thorough heating, go for convection microwaves. They can be a bit pricey, but you can expect your meals to get a better color and taste.

text: Share: Comments Print June 17, 2013 at 6:03 AM Special education Posted by Letters Coordinator Future looks bright Fortunately, no one involved with special education in Seattle Public Schools was be surprised at the recent report from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) ["Editorial: Not-so-special education," Opinion, June 9]. Also fortunately: Since July 2012 — when José Banda became Superintendent — he and district staff have been working very effectively to deploy strong leadership, and to map out a comprehensive plan for restructuring special-education services in Seattle schools. This is a big undertaking. Special-education programs require all the complexity and excellence demanded of general education, and are complicated by the myriad, unique disabilities and learning styles of the students served by Seattle Public Schools. The district's new executive director of special education, Zakiyyah McWilliams, brings a wealth of talent and experience to her role. We can be optimistic that each special-education student will thrive as Seattle Public Schools proceeds to roll out its carefully conceived plan for renewal, that the OSPI deadline will easily be met and that within three to five years, excellence will be the hallmark of our special-education services.

Our day started with walk around Spoleto. The wall that Denise and I are standing in front of is a Roman wall. You can tell it is of Roman times because of the size of the large stones that were used.
We grabbed a slice at Denise's favorite pizzeria. It was delicious! I got the funghi pizza (it is much better than it sounds...).
Over the course of the 3 week Spoleto festival there are many free events throughout the day. We snuck into a newly renovated theater and, on brand new butter-soft leather seats, watched a 40 year old Fellini movie. We snuck out soon after when it seemed to be going nowhere fast. I guess I am not a Fellini enthusiast!
Since we had got such a high from sneaking into the last place we thought we would try another location. We snuck into Teatro Nuevo, the performing arts theater, through a bar door. The theater is beautful.
In the afternoon, when it got a bit cooler, we headed over to Bevagna for the last day of the Mercato delle Gaite, a 10 day historical event that commemorates the daily life of the city between 1250 and 1350. The townspeople dress up in medieval garb, and compete between the four neighborhoods for the one that best recreates midevil times. Basically it is like going to an authentic Renaissance Faire.
Bavagna is another hill town that we didn't need an excuse to go admire. We had excellent timing to be there during the festival which has been going on since the 1700's.
One of the competitions is in archery. The townspeople booed or cheered when names were called depending on their neighborhood.
This was yet another interesting way to spend an evening, being part of this small comunities eccentric traditions.

In the FEED study, Ramboll's specialists take into account the entire lifecycle needs of an asset, enabling us to present robust solutions that create value from commissioning to decommissioning.
We aim for design solutions that are easy to fabricate, install, operate and maintain. Our FEED studies are therefore geared towards making the right operational and materials choices, reducing costs and risks, whilst keeping down-time to a minimum.
Our cost estimates for FEED will be accompanied by a number of deliverables that substantiate the estimates and serve as a basis for procurement of items with long lead times. If required, the FEED study can also address environmental or regulatory aspects.
Our FEED studies also consider health, safety and environmental (HSE) aspects, and we offer risk evaluations and environmental screenings to safeguard people and the environment. Moreover, we identify legislative and environmental requirements and devise environmental programmes comprising all necessary steps for obtaining approvals and permits.
With a worldwide office network, Ramboll has intimate knowledge of national standards, regulatory frameworks, and authority requirements enabling us to act in the capacity of certified verification agent, technical authority and third party verification partner.
In 2006 Ramboll Oil & Gas commenced our biggest project to date when we initiated the pre-engineering work on the Nexus project for APL NEXUS and Samsung. Nexus is a generic FPSO with a free and fully weather-vaning turret mooring that can accommodate up to 6 risers.
FPSO Teekay Petrojarl I was operating on the Glitne Field for Statoil, and was planned to operate for another five years there. In turn, the owner of the FPSO, Teekay Petrojarl Production, was evaluating to extend the lifetime of the FPSO with 15 years.
The Polarled pipeline project is part of the plans for developing fields further north in the Norwegian Sea.
As part of the Sleipner SPORT development project, satellite platform Gudrun was tied-in to Sleipner, for oil and gas processing and export. Statoil awarded Ramboll the FEED and detailed engineering of the subsea pipeline system.
In 2010 Qatar Petroleum initiated a major life time extension programme in the Dukhan field 95 km west of the capital Doha in Qatar. Ramboll was awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study for the cathodic protection and off plot power supply for more than 600 oil, gas, and water wells.
After more than 30 years of operation, the Norsea Gas Terminal in Emden, Germany, needed to be refurbished to maintain safe and reliable gas transportation. The major scope of work included new receiving-, gas heating-, utilities- and process facilities. Ramboll carried out the FEED study proposing the technical solution.

Formula E car completes Las Vegas Strip demo
Formula E's new Spark-Renault SRT_01E car made its first ever public demonstration on Tuesday with a high-speed display around the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
The car, which is fully-electric and capable of speeds in excess of 150mph, blasted down the Las Vegas Strip, showcasing its abilities with test driver Lucas di Grassi behind the wheel.
The series will compete in ten cities, starting with China in September of this year before the season concludes in London.
Speaking at the demo, CEO Alejandro Agag, said: "Today is a very special landmark for the FIA Formula E Championship and I'm delighted to be sharing it with Qualcomm and all our partners.
"Since the FIA launched Formula E just over a year ago, the progress and interest in the series has been overwhelming. When we started we had no cities, no teams, no broadcasters and no car. Now we have all these things so to be able to showcase our new car to everyone involved, and of course the fans, is a very proud moment.
"2014 is a very big year for Formula E with the championship starting in September so it's important to be starting on such a positive note. Today will also be the first of many roadshows we have planned over the coming months as we want as many people as possible to see, and hear, what we believe is the future of motorsport."

I recently gave a talk based on the book, Beyond the Beach: The Allied War Against France, written by my son-in-law Stephen Bourque. The war with Germany was a disaster for France. They surrendered in seven weeks to Germany's blitzkrieg techniques. Britain lost much of its armaments but rescued most of its troops from Dunkerque. France became a base of operations for the Germans, and 40% of French manufacturing turned to producing war materials and weapons for Germany.
Something that is seldom talked about was the rain of bombs this brought upon the French population. Because the Germans were making so much use of French facilities, the Allies attacks on them caused must damage to non-military structures and civilian populations.
Day light bombing turned out to be inaccurate and the Germans could shoot down more planes, so Britain took to bombing at night doing carpet bombing in hopes it would destroy valuable factories making military equipment. That insured even more collateral death and damage.
The allies bombed 1,570 French cities and towns killing 68,778 men, women and children over the course of World War II. This was greater than the damage done to Britain by the German bombings and attacks with rockets. More than 100,000 French were injured, and 432,000 houses were completely destroyed.
During Allied attacks on Normandy during landings we bombed railroads, bridges and armored sites killing more French citizens, 10,000, than German soldiers, 7000.
Germany's V1 flying bomb was a "Vengeance Weapon" Hitler used against the British
Many of the bombing raids were against the V1 flying bomb an early cruise missile that Hitler intended as a "Vengeance weapon" against the British. He hoped to create terror in London as revenge for the bombing they were doing in Germany. From French bases 9,521 were launched, but with the use of antiaircraft, balloons on cables and fighter planes the Allies learned to shoot many of them down. Debra and Steve were able to visit a V1 missile site at Val Ygot near Ardouval.
For my talk Steve had sent me pictures of areas bombed and one large cement structure seemed especially important, "the blockhaus at Eperlecques." This is a massive cement structure built by the Germans with slave labor to house rockets V1 and V2. The blockhaus was practically imperious to bombs, even bombs developed specifically to destroy it. They did take a heavy toll on slave labor that was being used to construct it.
To avoid detection the V2 was shot off mobile launchers that could be moved around the northern part of France. The Allies spent much time and energy trying to find these sites and destroy them, but they could be set up so quickly that it was almost impossible to stop them.
The V2 rocket sites hurled bombs carrying a warhead of 2,200 pounds at 3,500 miles an hour at London. The V2 were so fast victims heard them incoming only after they had hit since they were faster than the speed of sound. When it exploded it could create a crater 30-40 yards wide and 15 yards deep.
The consequences of the V2 becoming successful had implications for its danger to targets as far away as the United States. Wernher von Braun was the German aerospace engineer developing this rocket technology. The German hope was that with a little more time they could develop rockets that would reach the United States. At the end of the war von Braun and his team escaped from Russia territory to surrender to the U.S. Army. Braun and his team went on to advance space science in America and help us reach the moon.
The V2 rocket did tremendous damage and given time may have reached the United States
My daughter Debra Anderson made a number of these research trips to France with Steve. They spent a lot of time in Northern France where many of these sites are located. She recommends visiting the blockhaus at Eperlecques, which has been converted into a museum. It's an impressive structure with descriptions written in English and French. On their trip, they flew into Charles de Gaulle Airport outside of Paris and drove two and a half hours north. You could also drive south 30 minutes from Calais on the English Channel. The museum has a website and you should find the location on the map before venturing out.
There are also missile sites at Siracourt, which is an hour south of Eperlecques and Val Ygot at Ardouval, another hour and a half west. The coastal towns in the area include Calais, Bologne-Rouen, and Dieppe, all of which are pleasant. Debra and Steve particularly enjoy visiting Rouen, which is rich in history. Claude Monet made numerous paintings of the cathedral there, and it has a plaza commemorating Joan of Arc. Getting off the beaten path can make for an enjoyable, and often surprising, adventure.

Environmental Opportunity
Canada can become a world leader on climate action through a united commitment to technology and innovation, and by continuing to develop its natural gas sector responsibly.
The global impact from Canadian natural gas presents a significant environmental benefit. Natural gas is the cleanest-burning hydrocarbon – emitting about half the greenhouse gases that coal does, when used in electricity generation.
Exports of Canadian LNG to Asia, for example, would help displace the use of coal to generate electricity and increase natural gas powered vehicles —resulting in lower levels of smog and decreased GHG emissions. In fact, for every 1,000 MW of coal-fired power generation converted to natural gas powered electricity, annual CO2 equivalent emissions are reduced by 4.4 million tonnes or just over one half of one per cent of Canada's total.
The expanded use of natural gas as a fuel for vehicles also reduces GHG emissions between 17 and 19 per cent when compared to diesel fuel vehicles (source: Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance), and natural gas vehicles produce about 18 per cent fewer smog pollutants.
A partner with renewable energy
Natural gas can also play an important role in advancing renewable energy here at home and globally. Used as a partner with renewable energy, natural gas can be added to the electrical grid to fill the gap when intermittent renewables, such as wind and solar, are not available.
According to a National Energy Board report, electrical generation capacity in Canada will have to grow 27 per cent by 2035 in order to meet increasing demand with natural gas-fired and renewable-based energy showing the largest increases. The NEB expects electrical generation from natural gas to increase from nine per cent to 15 per cent and generation from renewables to grow from three per cent to 12 per cent.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there, and especially our own. In Lloyd's own words, "I hope someday I can be half as nice as my mom." Awwwwwww… that's very sweet, Lloyd.
However, I feel my own Mom is the best, and I'm not just saying that because she has cancer. Yep. She has recently been diagnosed with Myeloma, so any prayers that her medicine would work and she not develop blood clots would be the very best present she could receive. (I know she's not your mom, but I also know that you are very nice people. 🙂 ) She's pretty amazing about it, though – awfully positive!
We love you, Moms. 😀 😀
(I'm having iPhoto problems right now or there would be a picture with this.)

Vibrant Resorts and Quiet Inns - Where to Stay in Virginia Beach
Find a place to stay
Virginia Beach's hotels are ideal for a lively beachfront getaway or a low-key trip with the kids. Plenty of resorts will put you where the city's seaside action is - not to mention most of the tourists. You can also find budget-friendly options along other parts of the shoreline, though. Move further inland, and you'll find modern elegant hotels that express a subdued sensibility.
Virginia Beach Boardwalk
This 3-mile stretch of coast is where most of the tourists stay and play in Virginia Beach. Guests can stroll, bike, or rollerblade down the 28-foot-wide promenade, cross it to get to the beach, or simply people-watch from 1 of their resorts' outdoor lounges. Atlantic Avenue is 1 block west of the esplanade, and it's loaded with boutique shops, restaurants, and plenty of energy to keep the beachfront liveliness going.
The boardwalk's accommodation is dominated by high-rise hotels featuring panoramic views of the ocean or the city, depending on where your room is facing. There are also a few smaller, no-frills, independent and chain hotels sprinkled here and there throughout the neighbourhood.
Search for Virginia Beach Boardwalk hotels
Chick's Beach
The northern segment of Virginia Beach is where the locals go when they want to spend time near the shoreline. The area is surrounded by a much more subdued environment than what you'll see along the boardwalk. However, while you will find restaurants and stores, this also means the shopping and dining options are also much more low-key. The heart of the neighbourhood is about a 15-minute drive from the boardwalk, so you can get to its bustle rather easily when you're ready.
There is a small handful of hotels throughout the area. Options primarily consist of familiar chains that offer perks like free Wi-Fi. Hotels here are also not clustered together, which tends to make things a little more quiet.
Search for Chick's Beach hotels
Town centre
What was once Virginia Beach's quiet, unassuming downtown area is now a vibrant place full of stores, dining, and lodging. You'll be surrounded by plenty of opportunities for window shopping. The area also offers several restaurant options in the kind of urban atmosphere that is the yin to the city's beachfront yang. If you want to compare the vibe to the boardwalk, you can easily hop on Interstate 284 and be there in around 15 minutes.
Town centre has several elegant, upscale hotels that fit rather well within the neighbourhood's downtown ambiance. If you're travelling on a budget, the no-frills options here are typically much more affordable than their counterparts near the coastline.

Locked in my Kia, faulty and dangerous…

Hi Stuart, and anyone else who may be able to offer advice.
I'm emailing you to ask your advice please and to also ask what I should do now, as unfortunately my brand new Kia Sportage is in for a repair at my local dealership due to a safety issue. I have had the on a 2 year personal contract hire lease since December 2016. It's not a hire purchase, I'll simply hand the car back after 2 years.
I was out in it over the weekend with my husband and 6 year old son, when the doors decided to lock themselves and we could not get out. We'd had this happen a handful of other times since Christmas, but the 'fault' always seemed to clear itself, but on this occasion it didn't, and we then had to drive to my local Kia dealership in Hull, where one of their technicians managed to free us.
The Kia technician then also became locked inside, and had to free himself by exiting through a window! We were then told that we should not drive the car at all as it was deemed to be dangerous, and we were kindly given a loan car whilst the Sportage was booked in.
Last week, I received a call from the Kia dealership to say that they 'think' they've found what is wrong, and have ordered a part/s, but unfortunately on a back order from Korea, so we could be without the Sportage from between 1 to 8 weeks!
So, in effect I am actually paying for a lease on a vehicle that I don't have, and also I'm not sure that any 'fault' may be fixed too, as the dealership weren't too certain that this would cure it. By the way the Kia dealership have absolutely brilliant and have been so helpful.
I've also been online to check if there are any recalls for this issue with this car, but have found nothing! so I just need to know what I should do now? As I mentioned above I'm now paying a lease on a car that I can't drive at the moment, but I wanted to ask your advice first. The lease company have been informed but never mentioned that I would or wouldn't still be required to keep paying my monthly lease charge.
My main gripe is that I don't feel I should be paying for a lease on a vehicle that I don't currently have. Since the car has been at the garage, a lease payment has been taken from my bank account, so I am paying for the car, which I don't currently have!
Can you let me know what my next course of action should be please, as this is very concerning.
I'd be very grateful if you could offer some advice and if any recourse is possible as regards not having to pay for the car whilst I don't have it, etc.
Yours sincerely, and in anticipation,
- 27 March 2017 at 11:16 am #110313Stuart MassonKeymaster
Hi Beccy. Firstly, there is no provision or requirement for your lease payments to be stopped if your car is awaiting repairs. You can hassle the lease company into providing a courtesy car, but they are not legally obliged to.
If the dealership is providing you with a courtesy car, you can't really claim that you are paying for nothing. There is no obligation that any courtesy car offered has to be of the same specification as the original vehicle.
You are still within your first six months of purchase, so you may be able to reject the car under the Consumer Rights Act. You would need to work with the leasing company on this, as the car belongs to them and not you.

How to End Sibling Rivalry
Why can't they just get along?!? Let's face it—no matter how nicely the kids are playing one minute, the next minute might bring tears, and even fights. Sibling rivalry happens in every house with more than one child, and at every age. It's a common challenge, but that doesn't mean it's easy on your sanity.
Try to see it your kids' way…as soon as your second child comes along, your first is demoted, plus your second child might just get tired of being bossed around by Big Sister all day long. After all, how would you feel if your spouse brought home someone else and expected the two of you to get along?
While you can't stop sibling rivalry entirely, you can reduce its frequency. This means less yelling from the next room, and more peace in your home! Follow these guidelines to prevent sibling rivalry episodes, and to put a quick end to them once they start:
Lose the labels. When we talk about our "athletic one," "smartie" or even our "wild child," we create competition amongst our kids. What's more, we shelve kids into one role or another—whether they like it or not. By ditching labels, we give our "not-so-athletic" child a chance to shine even if she's not a star, the straight-B student the opportunity to be proud of her hard work, and the "wild child" a chance to do the right thing. The key is to cheer on positive attributes, such as teamwork, persistence and kindness. Siblings can then root for each other instead of competing for their parents' approval.
2. Arrange for attention. One of the top reasons kids fight is to gain their parents' attention—and even negative attention is better than nothing. Plan on giving each child at least 10-20 minutes of positive, individual attention every day, from each parent, and all of a sudden, your kids will learn they don't have to fight to get you to look their way.
3. Prepare for peace. Your kids might need a refresher course on peaceful conflict resolution. Train them on how to take turns, use "I feel" statements, walk away and control their temper (counting to 10, taking a deep breath, etc.), and you'll be able to ward off a lot of sibling arguments before they begin.
4. Stay out of squabbles. When you do hear a disagreement between your kids, ignore it—busy yourself elsewhere. Give them a chance to work it out on their own, and at the same time, you'll remove the payoff they get from your attention.
5. Calm the conflict. If your kids clearly can't reach an agreement, or if the fight escalates, you might have to step in. Listen to each child, encouraging "I feel" statements as they tell their story. Then, without placing blame or taking sides, ask them to come up with some solutions. If no one is able to come up with a workable resolution, suggest a few yourself, and help them reach an agreement.
6. Put them all in the same boat. If your kids still can't agree, it's time to put them "all in the same boat." Hand down a consequence, for instance, "Either you can take turns with the game, or I will put it away for the rest of the day." Then follow through.
With these strategies in place, you'll be able to keep sibling rivalry and fighting to a minimum.

You then need to WOW her all over again. The best restaurant in town to sweep her off her feet. Remember when we discussed "how women can be irrational" and they could actually want to reconcile. Well, this is where you find that out. If the night has went well she'll probably start dropping hints that she is open to rekindling the relationship.
There are 2 things you want to do to get back with your ex girlfriend. Dating her mates and things can be seen as a way of getting back AT her. You don't want to do that. You want to win her back. The best way to do that is this 2 step approach that will definitely help you get back with your ex girlfriend.
The chinese restaurants in kl was decorated very neat with roosters and cows and old time stuff. We had the best waitress I think I've ever had in a restaurant. She was quite busy but found the time to cut up with us in between waiting on all of her other customers.
On the other hand, someone searching for "cures for canine pink-eye" is probably ready to buy a product that will cure his dog's pink-eye. This is your food restaurant hungry audience"!
Red Hot Lovers is a small place on campus that specializes in burgers hot dogs, and french fries. I wasn't that impressed with the burgers, but the hot dogs and fries are great. I recommend the chili cheese dog. Red Hot Lovers is pretty cheap and casual.

Few days ago I received these Namaste products that I won from joining a blog's giveaway of my friend. These products are actually gluten free. I have no idea yet how it will taste like since I haven't tried any gluten free products. I also received several recipes and a $1 off coupons. I'm lovin the free stuffs.
Can't wait to try these especially the brownie mix. My family loves brownies, but I make sure they eat their healthy meal first before they can have one. I am planning on making cupcakes with the spice cake mix and maybe adding some coconut into it. We shall see how it turns out, I will definitely let you know.
