It's pretty much basic economics that troubles the current real estate market. Too many homes for sale and not enough buyers approved for a mortgage chasing the inventory. Supply and demand are simply out of sync.
The still increasing weight of foreclosures is a big contributor to this imbalance. That is especially acute in states that have absorbed the heaviest damage from mortgages in default, namely Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada. All in all, it is now a nationwide phenomenon.
There are two distinct reasons to that. Banks, the term includes home loan servicers and investors who own mortgage-backed securities, have been incredibly reluctant to focus much attention to the growing problem, namely extending a helping hand to homeowners in distress. It plain looks like they have acted, and still do, against their own best interests.
Washington has crafted several programs in the recent past to do something about it, but the efforts have been half-baked and poorly designed. The attention has largely been on keeping Wall Street from disappearing under the foaming waves of market forces, which doesn't do anything to spur real estate demand, even if the much-criticized industry will eventually be hauled back up on deck.
Stemming the supply of additional foreclosed homes entering the market would bring along a major correction to the current disparity. Some of that may soon be a reality. A major shift appears to be in the works from the government, proposed by the Obama administration. The fresh mammoth plan making its rounds on Capitol Hill would put added emphasis on helping struggling homeowners and it appears to have more bite to it than the earlier ones. More accountability, more direction.
Washington is going for more, though. That's good. To boost the demand side, a new bill that gives homebuyers a tax credit of $15,000, or 10% of the home's value, whichever is less, is also being debated and massaged. Details won't be known for another few days, but the aim is right.
Of course these measures alone will hardly solve the industry's problems all at once, but they would definitely give it a nice confidence shot in the arm.

GD's Candidate for Akhaltsikhe known for Islamophobic Statements
Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirkashvili announced today in Akhaltsikhe the Georgian Dream's MP candidates for the Samtskhe-Javakheti region.
In Akhaltsikhe and Adigen, the Georgian Dream representative will be the current mayor of Akhaltsikhe, Giorgi Kopadze. He is known for making islamophobic statements. When in 2013 there were protests from Orthodox Christians against the restoration of the mosque minaret in the southern village of Chela. Kopadze commented that: "We are tolerant. Okay, let them pray, if they want to sell their souls let them do that. People are free in their choices, but when it comes to pressing them on us - it's unacceptable."
In Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda, the running candidate will be Enzel Mkoian, who has been a Parliament Member three times.
Gedevan Popkhadze will run as the MP candidate In Borjomi and Mtatsminda. Gedevan Popkhadze is currently a Member of Parliament.

I told you this would be coming. And, because it never happened when it was suppose to, you get the double feature today of a second posting by yours truly, now in lime green! There are pictures, but make no mistake, this is an impression, NOT a review or unboxing. There are plenty of those on the internet for you to view if that's what you are after. Without further ado, let us start. (more…)

Sorry for not having a post for you guys last week. The thing is, I did have one. Completely written, ready to go. I hit the post button. And then there was an error. I went back and boom, no post, with no record of said post to be found anywhere. It was lost to the wind. It was about Disney and Star Wars, and even had a poll on it. I'm working on a rewrite of it that'll go up sometime in the coming weeks. So keep a look out for that.
However, today's real post won't be up until the early hours of the morning. Why? Because I'll be reviewing my day one edition of the Xbox One, and how it performs, plays, ect, as well as whatever game(s) I pick up. I'll have pictures, videos, and all sorts of goodies for you (maybe even some game clips so you can laugh at my failures). So that's what you have to look forward to. I'm aiming to have it up around 3am or so, but it might not go up until the next day, depending on several factors. So expect it to go up anywhere from 3am-5pm Friday.
Until then, stay well my friends.

How to Discover Your Emotional Triggers Through Everyday Problems [life is a mirror]
Everybody has one of those days when so many things tend to go wrong, and life makes you want to pull your hair out or run screaming to the nearest bar. But what if I told you that these everyday emotional triggers were actually a good thing…?
Don't start shaking your head just yet.
I'm not talking necessarily about big problems like being broke or failing to get the promotion you thought you were a shoe-in for or breaking up with the love of your life (though the method I'm about to share with you is super powerful when it comes to the big problems as well.)
Everyday annoyances; that's what I'm talking about: a driver cuts you in line, a cyclist takes the whole lane and forces you to drive at their pace, a rude cashier at your local grocers who seems to have forgotten how to smile.
What if I told you these small everyday problems which we take personally, were actually pointers to parts of our inner selves which we are oblivious to? Yes – these emotional triggers are your teachers.
Stay with me and I will explain how these issues we deal with every day are actually GOLDEN NUGGETS which are a mirror to our inner programming.
Always Bring Back Your Attention to Your Intention
First of all, let's establish what a 'problem' is.
Basically, if anything raises a resistance within you, annoys you, or raises ANY negative emotion in you, then you can consider it a problem. Or in other words – emotional triggers.
Now, instead of pushing against your everyday problems, you will do much better if you use them for self-discovery, by bringing the focus back to yourself.
Here's an example of what I mean:
Many years ago, a friend of mine confided in me about her dislike for a particular colleague at work, "I can't stand her," she said, "She gets on my nerves!"
You know me — I couldn't just nod and give an understanding smile. Being a personal development junkie, I felt I needed to share some insight with her, especially since I knew she was one who would listen.
It was already clear to me that her resentment towards her colleague was an indication of things about herself which she didn't like. But because it sucks to admit to our own faults, we tend to spot them in others and take our frustrations out on them.
"So… what is it about her you don't like?" I asked.
"She seems very fake! The way she talks… carries herself— her words don't align with who she really is," my friend replied, "It feels like she wears a mask, acting like a bigshot when she is nowhere near as confident as she pretends to be."
"I see," I responded. "And her fakeness makes you angry, why?"
Long pause.
"I just don't like fake people!" My friend replied finally.
"Yes, but why the anger?" I persisted. "Does she reflect aspects of yourself which you don't like? Maybe YOU'RE THE ONE who feels fake sometimes and you just can't stand her inauthenticity because you see it in yourself?"
A long silence followed before the tears started flowing, "Thanks Edith, you're right. I hate the times I appear to be someone I'm not at work; when I feel like a bluff, presenting a strong image though I feel small. And I guess she shows me the parts of me which I don't like."
In the end, the things we judge in others are things within ourselves which we would rather not face. The emotional triggers we experience reflect something within us that is not solved yet.
These unaddressed issues are deeply rooted in our subconscious mind. Eventually, we ended up forming paradigms we're not even aware of, that controls every result we have and will have in life. I explain more about that in detail here.
Our Everyday Problems Reveal the Way We Are Wired
Here's the deal: your everyday problems are here to foster growth. In that light, you can see your emotional triggering as a gift.
When you find external circumstances triggering you, instead of lashing out at the situation, you can ask yourself, "What does it trigger within me that I need to face?"
Usually, the situation is triggering you to see something in you which you have disowned.
These unpleasant interactions and daily problems show you parts of yourself which you don't love. If you really loved yourself, you wouldn't be emotionally and psychologically triggered and you wouldn't interpret situations as problems.
Most people do the opposite of reflecting: they react! They blame! Take it personally, and miss the opportunity for growth.
If you're like me, a sensitive person, or you tend to take things personally, choosing to reflect rather than resent your problem can make a world of difference.
Some things trigger the shit out of me! So when things push my buttons I think, "Great! More stuff to work on! What else can I learn about myself"?
Be Specific About Your Feelings
Whenever I get emotionally triggered, I try to identify the specific feeling: Do I feel angry? Frustrated? Fearful? Offended? Shame? Ignored? Unimportant? Unworthy?
That's what you should concentrate on, not the problem nor the person who said XYZ, nor the taxi driver who gave you the finger.
Concentrate on how YOU feel.
Focus on the emotions the daily problems trigger in you, and not on the problems themselves, because the negative feelings that are brought out of you ARE the problem.
If you keep practicing this every single time you feel triggered, you will dig deeper and deeper and get to really understand yourself. Eventually, you will uncover your negative paradigms and heal them.
Ultimately, you want to become so grounded and centered and confident that it doesn't matter what happens on the outside — it wouldn't faze you one bit; because you are so secure and content in your own skin. That's the goal.
Remember, everything is a mirror and that is why you need to bring back the attention to you. Your feelings are ALWAYS about you, never about them. These emotional triggers are mirrors to help you learn what you can about YOU.
Other Examples
You will be surprised about what you can learn about yourself once you choose to reflect rather than react when you are facing obstacles life throws at you –
• Maybe your boss is a jackass — what can you learn from your anxiety triggers to your boss? Do you find you are terrified of conflicts? Unable to set boundaries? Does it trigger unworthiness within you when your boss does not show appreciation? Does it trigger fear when people are mad at you?
• Maybe you're having a rough time in traffic — what can you learn from your anger and frustration? Do you find you have an obsessive need to control and find it difficult to let go? Are you never pleased with a situation and always look for what's missing? Do you find you are unable to enjoy the moment and relax, constantly looking for what's next — and that triggers anxiety?
• Maybe your neighbor holds political views that are different to yours, and this freaks you out — what does that tell you about you? Do you find you can't tolerate diverse opinions and find it difficult to put yourself in other's shoes? Do you feel personally slighted, attacked or diminished by contrary views? Maybe the opposing views trigger memories of a time when you felt rejected or had your sense of self-threatened or destroyed?
To Sum It Up – Mind Your Own Business
Pay attention to the fingers that point back at you whenever you point at someone. Be curious about yourself and reflect on your underlying paradigms.
In other words, mind your own business. Explore your emotional triggers instead of reacting to them uncontrollably. You will gain true freedom when you start focusing on your own healing, your own goals, and your own mind programming.
Imagine if all those who trigger discomfort in you simply worked on their own self-healing… that world would be a better place.
Imagine what your childhood would have been like if your parents had worked on their psychological triggers before bringing you into the world.
The same goes for you.
As you bring back the focus to yourself, you will remove your attention from other people, their "flaws", their "defects", and all the things they are doing "wrong".
And by so doing, you will tune into a real peace of mind and find less and less reasons to go crazy whenever life gets in the way.
How to let go of emotional triggers and open yourself to joy, peace, and abundance, far beyond what you've ever imagined Find out how I did it.

Albania – our first impressions
Albania – our first impressionsJune
2019 9th
We have arrived in country number 9, Albania
As we cross into Albania and as we roll into country number 9 we leave familiarity behind us. I call this part of the trip phase 2.
In Albania things are a little different, health and safety definitely takes a backseat. Youths are riding scooters without helmets, Mother's take their daughters on the bike and the daughter sits on the pannier rack with nothing but a pillow for support. Men are standing up on the back of pick up trucks as they speed along the road – and roundabouts – well I'm not sure who's right of way it is.
Later in the day we stopped a while to help a cyclist fix the front wheel on his bike, he's riding a bike that in England would be fit for the scrap yard only. He doesn't seem that enthused that we helped, but an older gentleman watching took an interest. Communication with this man was difficult – we couldn't understand each other at all. He offered us a cigarette, in hindsight I wish I'd taken it.
Our first job in Albania is to replenish supplies: money, food and fuel for cooking. We're expecting to camp more now. This takes us hours so we ended up cycling 50 miles instead of our planned 65. We rationalise that we can camp and wake early the next day.
Finding a wildcamp spot
As the sun dropped behind the mountains we pitched our tent. We sleep until 05:40 then we will bike the remaining 15 miles to the ferry in Lake Komani. We thought we had it in the bag.
The next day we wake, pack away the tent and get onto our bikes. 15 miles, 2 hours, easy cycling, right?
World's worst road?
First of all we're in the mountains and the roads climb up and down, up and down. 4 miles in "we're not going to make it, maybe we thumb a lift" the alternative is to wait for the next ferry – the next day!
Finally a descent which wipes out a few miles! "This is doable" Stew reports, "5 miles to go."
My shoulders hurt from holding the handlebars so tightly, my throat is dry but I can't find a nice patch of road to take a drink confidently and I can't afford to stop. Even the downhills are slow as I pull the breaks attempting to soften the blows from the pot-holed road. Some of the bumps are throwing me off my saddle. I'm moaning and groaning as the bike smacks into the nasty contours of the road.
After 14 miles of what must be a strong contender for worlds worst road we arrive at a patch of pristine tarmac for the final mile. The road was so bad in places that we were catching up cars who were to nervous to carry any speed across the appallingly smashed up road surface.
I can see the water, but where the hell is the ferry!? The road descends and there's only a few miles, I think I've made it to the end, but of course it climbs again!
Finally, a tunnel. I know I'm close now 400m of a dark, blissfully cold and damp tunnel. A kind, English speaking gentleman takes our money "we've made it" said Stew, but I refuse to acknowledge it until I'm sat on the boat. It's 08:47, departure is 09:00.
I roll into the ferry port and some motorbikes who passed us are happy to see us: "well done, well done!" They don't speak English so I signal that it's hot and I was worried about time as i pedalled. They laugh.
We board the ferry, I think there's one rule – if you bought a ticket we get you on. Our bikes are pulled up a large step by a man who underestimated the weight, the rear is all over the place as he rips and pulls the bike into place. They get a job done here, I'll I've them that!
Once the boat is loaded they realise there's not enough space so they unload the vehicles and put everything into a better place.
It's chaotic, but I think I love it.

Archive for September 2018
Remember when there were lots of movies about crazy school parties?
Back in the early 1980s, I was very interested in my career, sports, and the Reagan presidency. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but notice the movies at the theaters. In other words, there were lots of crazy movies about people going to high school and college.
In many of these movies, it was cool to "score" with the girl. I'm sure that boys in previous generations wanted to score, too. However, the message in those Frankie Avalon-Annette Funicello movies or Where the Boys Are was that premarital sex was a bad idea. In those movies, young men were told to respect girls rather than getting them drunk for quick sex.
Hollywood made a bunch of these movies, from Animal House to Sixteen Candles, as I was reminded of by Vox:
Some of the most popular comedies of the '80s are filled with supposedly hilarious sequences that portray what in 2018 would be unambiguously considered date rape.
As long as everybody involved is acquainted with each other, these movies tend to treat those rapes as harmless hijinks. They don't really count. They're funny – even in movies as sweet and romantic as Sixteen Candles.
The cultural understanding of rape in the 1980s was fundamentally different from how we understand it today[.]
It was so, and that's the college scene Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford grew up in.
I am not making excuses for any behavior. At the same time, let's remember that Hollywood made millions of dollars promoting the kind of behavior alleged in many of the accusations against Kavanaugh. It was cool in the movies, and probably a lot of students did it, too.
So do Democrats want to make college days an issue before considering a person for the Supreme Court? My guess is that many future Democrats would have a hard time living up to that standard.
Again, I don't believe that Dr. Ford has proved a thing other than that she lived in Maryland at the same time that Mr. Kavanaugh did. Nevertheless, if someone did that to her, then he probably learned the behavior watching one of the popular "comedies" of the time.

The Democrats united the Trump and Bush wings of the party
Let's hope that this is the last time that we go through this.
Like many of you, I caught bits and pieces of Blasey Ford and Judge Kavanaugh on Thursday. Overall, I'd say that Kavanaugh won the day.
My problem with Blasey Ford is her story. Something happened but she does not where or when. She can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was Kavanaugh that night. She thinks it was but no investigation can be done on the basis of this shallow story.
Gladly, we live in a country where we don't destroy people for fuzzy memories from 30-something years ago.
As for Judge Kavanaugh, he closed the deal with a very heartfelt presentation. I kept looking at his wife and feeling so sorry for her and their two daughters. Yes, time will pass, but these girls will be haunted forever. Is it too much to think that some college professor out there will talk about "Kavanaugh the gang rapist"?
At this point, the people who say that they believe Blasey Ford are making a partisan statement. They have no evidence to draw that conclusion. Blasey Ford is probably a nice lady, but her story does not add up.
At the end of the day, it was Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Jeff Flake who put him over the top. Graham's remarks were powerful. Then Flake was contacted by former President George W. Bush.
So what did the Democrats do on Thursday? They looked foolish and united the Trump-Bush wing of the party. Thank you, Democrats.

New Cuban leader same old speech before the UN
Back in 1960, Fidel Castro came to the UN in the middle of a U.S. presidential election. He put on a different show than he did in the spring of 1959 when he was telling "Meet the Press" that he was not a communist.
The new leader of Cuba, the one appointed by Raul Castro, came to town talking reforms but singing the old song about "socialismo".
This is from USA Today:
Miguel Díaz-Canel, the hand-picked successor to retired president Raúl Castro, mirrored his predecessors' speeches by repeatedly bashing the United States, the economic embargo it maintains against Cuba, and its continued occupation of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. He blasted the U.S for its military interventions and economic sanctions against adversaries including Venezuela, Iran, China and North Korea.
And while Díaz-Canel lamented the deterioration of U.S.-Cuba relations under President Donald Trump and said he was ready and willing to improve them, he made clear that the end of Fidel and Raúl Castro's rule over the island nation does not mean the end of the communist system they created.
So much for change in Cuba.
Diaz-Canel's speech may have pleased the usual suspects around the world. It did not do much to resolve the island's short-term problems, from a shortage of aircraft parts to keep planes flying to doing anything about the island's crippling infrastructure.
Finally, it made it less likely that a meeting with President Trump is around the corner after all of the attacks on the U.S.
No one will remember this speech in a week. Nevertheless, President Diaz-Canel just confirmed what we knew — no change in Cuba anytime soon!

The best ADN to BSN programs are designed for nurses who already have their RN license and want to continue their education and advance in their profession. Most students who enroll in ADN to BSN programs have a traditional or online associate, however, some schools also accept students with a nursing diploma.
You will typically need 2 to 4 years to complete your ADN to BSN degree depending on the number of credits that you are able to transfer from your associates degree as well as whether you enroll part time or full time. The ADN to BSN degree is an uncommon educational track compared to standard associates or bachelors programs, and only a few universities and colleges offer traditional or online ADN to BSN options.
Top ADN to BSN programs will usually require you to first complete any missing prerequisite courses that you may not have taken for your associates degree, like microbiology, college algebra and English composition. After this phase, you will begin to take higher-level courses on topics like ethical healthcare and nursing management while also fulfilling your clinical requirements. When you graduate from an ADN to BSN program, you will have the
same credentials as a traditional BSN student.
Who should enroll in an ADN to BSN program?
Practicing RNs who have already worked several years in the field are the most common ADN to BSN students. For some of these students, ADN to BSN degrees are just a 1 step in the path of completing BSN to MSN programs.
However, not all ADN to BSN students are interested in pursuing a graduate degree. Many nurses choose to get a BSN because it opens up a variety of career opportunities that are unavailable to nurses who only have an associates degree.
ADN to BSN programs provide nurses with much deeper and more extensive knowledge than an associates degree program. For this reason, graduates of ADN to BSN programs are often able to find jobs that involve more than just traditional patient care. For instance, when you finish your ADN to BSN program, you can take on new roles such as charge nurse, clinical manager or nurse educator at a hospital or technical college. Additionally, a BSN qualifies you to work as a consultant for health insurance companies or even write and edit literature for medical publications.
Upper-level coursework in ADN to BSN programs places a lot of emphasis on both theory and clinical practice. A few of the most common courses include:
This course introduces students to various health and concepts from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Students explore concepts like life span, the health-illness continuum and medical ethics as well as how these relate to nursing duties like diagnosis, plan of care and intervention.
Administration and organization of healthcare systems
This course focuses on developing leadership within community-focused healthcare systems. You will explore the organizational structure and culture of these systems and learn how to apply leadership skills and nursing theory to maximize their potential.
Theory and research in nursing
These courses offer an overview of the interrelationships between theory, research and practice in the nursing profession. You will explore processes for gathering clinical knowledge and learn strategies to help you translate theoretical knowledge into practice.
Advanced clinical nursing skills
This course provides additional training in how to use nursing science and research in everyday clinical practice. Supervised clinical work will help you learn to apply theory in practical ways to provide better healthcare to individual patients, families and communities.
Advanced adult health nursing
This course focuses on the RN's role in providing care to adult patients with a variety of injuries and chronic illnesses. Students learn how to consult patients about treatment options as well as develop strategies for health promotion and illness prevention in a clinical environment.
Gaining admission to an ADN to BSN program
In addition to standard application forms and an application fee, ADN to BSN programs require you to submit a copy of your current RN license as well as an official transcript from of your previous degree.
Be aware that many programs will not accept an RN license that is not issued from the same state in which the school is located. Therefore, as a general rule, you should try to apply to ADN to BSN programs in the state that issued your RN license, or be sure to research the requirements for obtaining a license in your preferred school's state.
Additionally, applicants must also satisfy general education requirements, which usually include courses like introductory chemistry and anatomy and physiology. Many ADN to BSN programs will allow you to take these lower-level courses at partnering community colleges and technical schools before applying for admission. This can save you a lot of money in tuition fees if your ADN to BSN program is located at a university. Some ADN to BSN programs even allow you to skip over some classes by passing exams that test your knowledge of specific course subjects.
Holding a job during your ADN to BSN program
Although there are not many online options for ADN to BSN degrees, the majority of students continue to work part time or even full time as an RN during their studies. However, if you are unable to do this you may have to adjust your course schedule by cutting down on your normal
work hours or working on evenings, weekends and holidays.
Because ADN to BSN degrees are intended for professional RNs, many schools have designed their programs to fit their students' work schedules. For instance, some ADN to BSN programs cluster upper-division courses into 2 consecutive days, which leaves you free to work normal hours during the rest of the week. Other schools make their programs available on a part-time basis or even hold evening classes so that you can work during the day. Finally, some programs will even allow you to fulfill your required practicum or clinical hours at your place of
Although holding a separate job while studying can be challenging, students interested in earning a masters degree or doctorate should understand that graduate-level admissions panels often prefer applicants who have substantial clinical experience working in the field.
Studying online in an ADN to BSN program
Students hoping to enroll in the best online ADN to BSN programs will be disappointed because the options are very limited. One of the main reasons why accredited ADN to BSN online programs are so rare is that many students who already hold an associates degree prefer to enroll
in traditional bachelors or RN to MSN programs.
Many schools simply allow students with an ADN to enroll in their standard BSN programs instead of offering a separate accredited ADN to BSN online program. Although these degrees are not specifically designed for students who already have an associates degree, the curriculum and standards are very similar. And most traditional BSN programs will also recognize some or all of the coursework and clinical hours that you completed in your ADN program.

Addressing an audience of around 100 people, Smith outlined what he believed were the major obstacles to a vibrant general aviation industry in Australia, including the Civil Aviation Act, which put a priority on safety, over-regulation that introduces unnecessary costs to the industry and a political system that encourages politicians to resist change.
Toward the end of the presentation, Smith proposed his six-point plan to resolve issues that are holding back the general aviation industry.
- Change the wording of the Civil Aviation Act to remove safety as the absolute priority
- Ensure CASA concentrates regulatory re-writes on removing unnecessary cost
- Harmonise regulations with the simpler and lower-cost US system
- Get people with talent and experience as aviation advisors to the minister
- Second experienced aviation experts to CASA for a period of two years
- Convince governments to treat aviation safety in a bi-partisan way and stop political point-scoring.
Smith focused much of his presentation on the need to re-write the Civil Aviation Act, which states: CASA must regard the safety of air navigation as the most important consideration.
"Now that sounds like a great motherhood statement," Smith told the gathering. "In fact, it more a dishonest marketing slogan that would suit a fly-by-night shonky airline ... or one of our major banks.
"It's a lie, because there are many times when the most important consideration is cost. That's just commonsense. For example, airline aircraft could be fitted with ejection capsules for each seat that could be activated at the time of a hijack. Safety would be improved, but the cost of the air tickets would be prohibitive.
"To this day, the bureaucrats have fought to ensure that this wording remains, and this has been the driving force behind the destruction of our once viable general aviation industry."
Smith was Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority from 1990-92, and of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority from 1997-99. During that time, he said he encountered entrenched resistance to moving the focus of the Act away from safety.
"I was shocked each time I was Chair of the safety regulator in Canberra to see how people, once the emotive word 'safety' came up, were not game to apply the commonsense that I'd experienced in private enterprise for over 30 years," he said.
"You can't blame individual politicians for this. The vast majority are as honest as any Australians; it's the system we have evolved, and we have to fix it. Even though I have concentrated on the story about aviation, this is also the explanation of why so many are disillusioned about our democratic system."
Smith said that he recently met with then Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Barnaby Joyce and Shadow Minister Anthony Albanese and reached an agreement for the Act to be changed. However, Joyce resigned two weeks afterward and his replacement as minister Michael McCormack has yet to agree with the proposed changes, saying he needed to consider the proposal more.
"The new minister ... Mr Michael McCormack, has a huge opportunity to support these commonsense changes to get aviation, especially aviation in the bush, thriving again," Smith concluded. "We could become the world leaders in flying training ... tens of millions of additional export dollars could be earned promoting massive investment in both infrastructure and services in our country towns and regional centres."
Wagga Wagga is in the electorate of Riverina, currently held by McCormack, ensuring the town has recently become a focal point of general aviation lobbying and activism.

Is anyone developing for the R8000P? I have gotten looped into one of the manufacturer's forums on it, and it seems people are plagued with speed reductions (something i had on the R8000 prior to using tomato advaced) and having to reboot everytime they connect a dev. I wish the manufacturer would cowboy up and fix it, but i feel for the consumers, especially having been through the "tech support" process to no avail myself.

Welcome back! I've had a few people asking me lately for location spot ideas so thought it might not be a bad place to begin showing off some of Canberra at the same time. This first spot is deffinitely an oldie but a goodie. It's fabulous on a hot day, a windy day even a cold day! You can't go wrong!
Welcome to the National Gallery Sculpture Gardens. They're the green bit out the back of the gallery overlooking Lake Burley Griffin. The Gallery itself caters for both wedding ceremonies and receptions and should you want to stay in the same place all day, is a great little spot for location photographs as well!
If you can time your day correctly (have a chat to the planners at the gallery) and find out at what time the mist gardens are on. It does make the ground a little damp so this isn't for all couples but it does make for some fun and slightly eerie photographs!
Just before we finish up, there are some other great little spots in and around the gardens. If you decide to incorporate the sculptures, please please don't touch them. They are people's works of art and the gallery would prefer them to last a lifetime and not have any damage done to them. There are ways to make it look like you're interacting without touching as we did last year.
There is also a nice little foreshore spot which has the Carillion in the background. A gorgeous little noise maker on the opposite side of the lake, also happens to be one of Canberra's landmarks.
Best thing with any location photographs is to head along to some spots yourself pre wedding and take a little camera with you. Take some snaps and when you get home see which locations you like the best on film.
Enjoy yourselves and make your photographs, all about you 🙂

American Airlines IDs pilot who died on flight
The pilot of an American Airlines passenger jet died during a flight from Phoenix to Boston Monday morning, according to the airline.
The American Airlines pilot who died Monday on a flight from Phoenix to Boston was a 57-year-old captain who started his career at Tempe-based America West Airlines in 1990.
American Airlines CEO Doug Parker said in a letter to employees Monday night that Capt. Michael Johnston was piloting Flight 550 from Phoenix to Boston early Monday morning when he fell ill. Parker, who previously was America West's CEO, called it "extremely sad news.''
"All of us at American extend our condolences to Mike's wife, Betty Jean, and to his entire family,'' he said in the letter. "They have lost a husband and father, and many of you have lost a personal friend. Taking care of Mike's family is our focus now, and I know you'll join me in keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.''
Parker said Johnston was a graduate of Brigham Young University. He joined America West as a first officer on the Dash-8. He later flew the Boeing 737 and the 757 before being upgraded to captain on the Airbus A320. America West merged with US Airways in 2005. US Airways and American merged in 2013.
Johnston was based in Phoenix but lived in Utah, according to his Facebook profile. A post on his page Monday said his wife wanted everyone to know that "Mike passed away this morning doing what he loved most.''
Parker also praised the other crew members on Flight 550.
"They took extraordinary care of Mike, each other and our customers. We couldn't be more proud of the teamwork this crew showed during an extremely difficult time,'' he said. "Our airport teams in Syracuse and Boston were also instrumental in assisting our customers, and their handling is also greatly appreciated."
US Airways Flight 550, also known as American flight 550, left Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at 11:55 p.m. Sunday for Boston. It was diverted to Syracuse after Johnston fell ill and died. The co-pilot, a first officer for American, landed the plane at 7:13 a.m., American/US Airways spokesman Andrew Christie said. The two airlines still have separate flight operations, though the US Airways name is being retired this month.
There were 147 passengers and a crew of five aboard the Airbus A320. The flight from Syracuse to Boston landed at 12:34 p.m. Boston time.
Television station KUTV in Utah said Johnston's wife was told her husband likely died of a heart attack. She told the station her husband had a double bypass in 2006 and was required to get a physical every six months to make sure he was healthy enough to fly.
Johnston says her husband was in good health when he left recently to begin flying.
"He has had problems with his heart," Johnston's wife told the station. "He seemed perfectly fine."
Commercial airline pilots age 40 and older have to have their medical certificates renewed every six months, according to the FAA. Johnson's was last renewed in June, according to FAA documents.
The in-flight death of a pilot is a rare incident — with only seven other cases on commercial or charter airlines since 1994 — but is one of the many emergencies crews are trained to handle.
Ron Carr, a retired American Airlines pilot who is now an assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, remembers simulator training on such incidents when he joined American in the late 1980s. There are various scenarios where a pilot is incapacitated and a medical emergency is declared, forcing the co-pilot to land the plane.
When he read about the American co-pilot's safe landing of the plane in Syracuse, N.Y., where the flight was diverted after the emergency, he saw such training pay off.
"They did exactly what they were supposed to do, i.e. what they were trained to do: fly the airplane,'' Carr said.
USA Today reported that in a recording of a conversation with air traffic control, Flight 550's first officer can be heard calling in the emergency while saying the captain had become "incapacitated."
"Syracuse, American 550, medical emergency, captain is incapacitated, request handling for runway," the co-pilot said, according to a transcript of a radio transmission posted on the website savvystews.com.
The medical emergency involving one of the pilots in the cockpit means the plane is down to a one-pilot operation. Both pilots in the cockpit, whether ranked captain or first officer, are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly the plane
"They're not frequent, but when they do happen it creates a tense situation, a higher workload situation,'' Carr said. "He's (the remaining pilot) going to get real busy, real quick.''
One of the first orders of business: getting some assistance in landing the plane, from another pilot on the flight, pilot support on the ground or flight attendants.
In 2013, an off-duty United Airlines pilot helped the co-pilot of a United Airlines flight from Houston to Seattle when the captain suffered a heart attack, according to a report in the Seattle Times. The plane landed safely in Boise, where the captain was taken to a hospital and later died.
"The idea is to get some help,'' Carr said. "It lessens my workload (as a pilot) so I don't have to be a single pilot operation anymore.''
American sent a replacement crew to fly passengers from Syracuse to Boston. Carr said that's because the reality of their co-worker's death hits the remaining crew when the plane lands.
"That's when the grief and trauma is going to set in,'' he said.
Since 1994, there have been six other in-flight pilot deaths on commercial airlines and one on a charter carrier, according to FAA spokesman Ian Gregor.

private MouseTrackerState _state = new MouseTrackerState();
[ServicePort("/mousetracker", AllowMultipleInstances=false)]
private MouseTrackerOperations _mainPort = new MouseTrackerOperations();
The Start method is the entry point for the service and it is called when service initialization is complete. It's primarily responsible for starting the service and this is where you'll add any code that needs to be executed at service startup. For the MouseTracker service, you'll include code to initialize the TimerPort and assign a handler for the Timer control. The code for the Start method is seen as follows:
protected override void Start()
// Activate the TimerHandler which will be used to
// get the mouse position
Activate(Arbiter.Receive(true, _timerPort,
You should notice that each handler is preceded by a ServiceHandler attribute. This attribute includes a property which indicates whether the code can execute concurrently with other code. For example, when the ServiceHanderBehavior is set to Exclusive, no other handlers can execute. When set to concurrent, other handlers are allowed to execute in parallel. This distinction should be made whenever the handler must update state. Just like when updating values in a database, you must ensure the integrity of the state data during updates.
In addition to the message operation handlers, you will need to add a handler for the timer control. This handler is activated in the Start method and should initiate a loop that executes every 1000 milliseconds. The TimerHandler uses the Arbiter class to set up a single item receiver that will handle notifications through the timer port. The code for this handler is seen in Listing 2.

I have just finished one of several make-do pin cushions that will be for sale in my etsy shop when they completed. This one is the latest with a heavy ecru fabric embellished with old and new found objects. The cushion sets on top of a vintage child's baby cup, now storage for sewing notions; to include a tin filled with old buttons, tatting threads and pins. The small rose colored velvet is a keeper, however, I will have 2 more similiar ones and 2 dark lavender coming soon.

Children's Plantings
The tall white pine was planted as a tiny sapling that my son Cale brought home from school. At one point several years ago the top 3ft had been broken off(how I don't know). I thought it would never grow another lead, so I decided to keep it low. Well, that proved to be a mistake, the branches just grew out with one pointing up, so I let that one take up the new lead and wow, it looks great. It's now around 20ft.tall. My son was very pleased because he thought it would always be a stump of a tree. He is 6ft 2" and now has to look up to his tree! A few years later, my daughter Heather and I planted 3 more saplings, they haven't taken off yet after 3yr, soon they will sprout up quickly. I love the sound of the wind moving throught white pine.

Sleep is vital both in terms of our physical and mental health. Lack of it can negatively affect the way we feel, decreasing our productivity and causing much more problems in different spheres of our lives. We all know it but sometimes it just happens that we can't sleep long enough or well enough to wake up fresh and with full loads of energy for all the challenges that may arise troughout the day. While we can't do much about such sleepless nights there are some tricks one may try in order to take the most of each hour of sleep and to wake up easier and with more energy for the comming day.
Remember that even if those techniques will work for you it's not a way to shorten your sleep times! Sleep should be considered one of the most important biological tasks that helps our bodies to recover after long day of hard work and no trick is able to change it. If you'll find this advice useful use it with care!
Tip #1: reconsider how you fall asleep
First let's focus on how the way we fall asleep should look like. When you lie on your bed, no matter if it's on your back or front to the bed, try to close your eyes and imagine an empty baloon that will get bigger when you inhale and smaller when you exhale. When you have this picture in fron of your eyes try to breathe deeply, inhaling for some longer time, let's say 8 seconds and at the end you have to feel there's no more space in your lungs to fill with air. When you have that feeling, after 1-2 seconds exhale slowly for anonther 8 seconds until your lungs are empty. Remember that everytime when you exhale you leave about 1l of air in your lungs that isn't used by your body, so push the air even more to exhale completely. Repeat this cycle for about 4-6 times. After a while you'll fall asleep.
Tip #2: wake up, stand up from the bed and stretch
Next morning, no matter how you'll feel, stand up straight next to your bed, lift your hands up as high as you can and stand on your toes stretching your back as much as possible. You'll feel a relaxation in your back and after that you're good to go!
The summary
That's it! Let me know in the comments below how you feel after few days falling asleep and waking up stretching in the morning. Also you can consider using other breathing techniques that can help you focus and relax troughout the day. Those can be found all over the Internet if you look for pranayama or control of breathing. The technique described here is a slightly modified version of Sama Vritti Pranayama taken from 5 Breathing Exercises That Relax You Immediately article.

Charlie Karp, Fairfield resident, longtime musician, dies
FAIRFIELD — Award-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist Charlie Karp died Sunday night after a long illness, friends said.
A former student at Staples High School in Westport — who left school as a senior to pursue music — Karp had a professional career that stretched nearly 50 years.
Karp, who lived in Fairfield and had a studio there, recorded with R&B legend Buddy Miles when he was a teenager; his long path through the music industry also included writing songs for the likes of Joan Jett and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, performing in bands and producing music for documentaries, sporting events and feature films.
"Charlie cut a wide swath through Connecticut music over the last half-century, be it in rock, pop, blues rock or just plain blues," said radio host and writer Fran Fried, of Prospect, in an email. "He wasn't a household name, but musicians certainly knew who he was."
Fried hosts Franorama 2.0, on Cygnus Radio, a Connecticut-based online radio station. Two years ago, she narrated the documentary "The High School That Rocked!" about Staples and how it drew such influential bands as Cream, The Doors and The Yardbirds to play on its stage.
Miles played Staples in December 1969, and needed a pickup band, Fried said. Karp was recommended as a guitarist, played the show and so impressed Miles that he hired Karp, who left school to tour with him.
"That alone should speak to the talent he had, and from a young age," Fried said.
According to the biography on Karp's website, he recorded four albums with Miles in two years, and his time on the road with Miles included opening for Jimi Hendrix.
In 1972, Karp left Miles to form his own band, White Chocolate. The group was signed by RCA Records. In 1975, Karp signed to Seymour Stein's Sire Records and released a single called "Rock & Roll Love Letter," which was later covered by the Bay City Rollers.
The band eventually morphed into The Dirty Angels, which, in 1979, toured with Aerosmith on the Double Live Bootleg Tour.
"To me, as an impressionable teen growing up in the mid- to late '70s, he'll always be the guitarist for the Dirty Angels, who recorded one of the most criminally under-noticed FM rock songs of the era, 'Tell Me,' " Fried said. "I still smile every time I hear it."
In the 1980s, Karp did many sessions as a songwriter and guitarist, including writing songs for Perry and Jett.
According to his biography, in the past decade or so, he had been writing and producing with Danny Kortchmar — a producer/guitarist for James Taylor, Carole King, Don Henley and Billy Joel among others — for their band Slo Leak.
Karp also won an Emmy producing music for films and television, and his biography credits him as working on jingles for such products as TWIX candy bars, US Tobacco and Xerox.
Those remembering Karp included Brian Keane, a classmate of Karp's at Staples, and an accomplished musician. The two co-wrote the song "You Lift My Heart," which was released on Marion Meadows's album "Secrets" in 2009.
Keane posted on Facebook about Karp on Saturday, before his death, about how Karp had been moved into hospice and wasn't expected to live more than a few weeks.
At that time, Keane wrote about how, when the two were seventh-graders at Coleytown Junior High School in Westport, " I realized that Charlie Karp possessed naturally what it would take me at least 15 years more of hard work to begin to develop: the ability to channel something magical and musical, and to deliver a special sense of feeling that connected with people and moved them to the core on a fundamental level through music."
On Monday, Keane posted about Karp's death.
"I am beyond saddened to report that Charlie Karp passed away last night. He died peacefully, surrounded by family," the post read. "They told me that he was able to hear your many expressions of love which they read to him before he passed. Thank you all for doing that. I know that meant so much to him."
