Deal Or No deal host Noel Edmonds has revealed he's turned down appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing 'every year'.
Speaking in a recent interview, the presenter stated he wouldn't take part because of the 'curse' on relationships.

Noel added he wasn't sure about dancing with a "half naked woman".
"They approach me every year," he said.
"Liz [Noel's wife], who used to be a professional dancer, said, 'Look you're actually quite good and I could train you to be good and you'd have fun and all of this.'
"And I said, 'Do you really want to see me spending eight hours a day for four months draped over some half-naked woman?'
"And she had a think about it and went, 'Hmmm . . . I can see your point!'"
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One in the autumn 2017.

We have an entire week to look at weather forecasts, analyze statistics, view highlights and game footage, and generally convince ourselves that we have the slightest idea what kind of football game will be played on Saturday night. The Colts will be in town to play the Patriots and I have no clue what will happen. And I'm fine with that.
This season has been like riding a roller coaster blindfolded, across the NFL but especially in Foxborough. It's been an insane season. The way the Patriots-Saints game ended, the way the Broncos game ended, the way the Browns game ended. On the flip side of insanity, there was also the way the road Jets game and the Panthers game ended.
The only thing crazier than this Patriots season would be trying to predict what happens next.
I could drone on about stats, and about Andrew Luck being a good QB, and the Colts doing well against playoff teams, and the Patriots doing well at home, but also struggling in home playoff games lately. None of it matters.
The winner of this game will be the team that executes better. It's easy to say that, not so easy to do it.
Just look at the Colts. They played two different games against Kansas City. They played a good half and a bad half, and they barely won. They executed better than the Chiefs. The Patriots have been doing that all season long. One horrible half, one great half. So which team can find a way to play well for 35 or 40 minutes instead of just 30 could win this game.
Tom Brady needs to make good throws. Period. He's the best player on the team. He doesn't need to be amazing, but these overthrown and underthrown incompletions need to be reduced. He was 21st this season in completion percentage (60.5%), nestled between Alex Smith and Ryan Tannehill. Some of that was due to lack of talented receivers, lots of that was due to bad throws.
But hey, Andrew Luck was 24th at 60.2%.
The Patriots need to be productive on the ground. Especially if it rains. A good ground game allows the passing game to be more dynamic. It lets you control the clock. It gets you first downs. It lets you chew up a defensive line.
The Pats need to hold on to the ball. Stevan Ridley, I'm looking at you.
The Colts defied football logic and lost the turnover battle against KC but won the game. However the Colts had the second best takeaway-giveaway number in the AFC this year (+13). The Pats were third best (+9). Obviously, whoever wins the turnover battle on Saturday will probably win.
Unless they can't execute in the Red Zone. And that's been an issue for the Gronk-less Patriots all year. Either the offense needs to execute better in the Red Zone, or the defense needs to make some Red Zone stops. The Colts had one of the worst Red Zone defenses in the NFL. They allowed TDs on over 60% of Red Zone possessions. I suppose that's good for the Patriots.
Looks like I did mention a few stats and did some regular season analysis. Sue me. All those stats come with an "if" or a "but" or an "unless," which is why they mean nothing. They're in the past. The Colts allowed 3 touchdowns for every 5 Red Zone possessions their opponents had. Big deal. It's still up to the Patriots to execute on Saturday.
I do think this is the Patriots' game to lose. It's at home, against a dome team, against an inconsistent team. But the Patriots have hardly been consistent this year, they're 8-0 at home but that hasn't been easy. The Bengals were also 8-0 at home and lost there to a team that was 4-4 on the road. So who cares?
If I had to make a prediction, I'd say the Patriots should win 24-20. But predicting this season has been harder than predicting the weather. It's been like trying to predict the weather 20 weeks from now. You might have some general ideas based on past experience, but they mean next to nothing. You don't know. I don't know. Just count down the days and enjoy the show.

SPCA & PAWS Adoption Program
Together with SPCA & PAWS Selangor, we have held several adoption drives – where members of the two shelters will bring a few of their best dogs to Nilufar Pets & Aquatic.
The main objectives of these events are to promote adoption and create awareness to the public about the social and ethical issues surrounding stray and unwanted animals. Many of these unfortunate animals have suffered inhumane killing – especially for the fur trade, and they are subject to a whole lot of unimaginable agonies due to the cruel life on the streets.
These dogs may not be pedigreed, but each and every one of them has the right to be treated as living beings. With care and training, they can be the best partner you can ask for.
You could save a life, and more happiness will be brought to your home by this new family member!
Stay tuned for more updates on the adoption days!

Each month in the Awakened Soul Coven we work with a Goddess, exploring in a facet of them and bringing it into our life and practice of the craft.
In April we are working with the Goddess Kuan Yin, the Chinese Buddhist Goddess of compassion, loving kindness, and mercy.
The energy you put out in the world is important to your quality of life, the success of your spellcasting, and your impact on the world around you. Compassion has the power to heal and create peace – both in yourself and others.
Kuan Yin is the omnipresent mother and extends her unconditional love to all beings, and teaches us how to embody those qualities.
Here's how we are exploring Kuan Yin's teachings of unconditional love in The Coven this month:
Making A Petition Of Forgiveness During The Full Moon Ritual
Our full moon this month is another Libra. Libra is about peace, harmony, and balance, perfect elements to complement working with Kuan Yin.
In the Full Moon Ritual on April 18th, we'll be calling in Kuan Yin as we create a petition of forgiveness to break the cycle of anger, shame, and guilt with another.
Sometimes when we hold onto hurt, we find little, subtle ways to punish the person who hurt us. A situation like this is a good choice for performing this forgiveness ritual with. This will allow you to make the choice to act with mercy, rather than repeating the same pattern that creates negative karma.
You'll receive a beautifully designed Full Moon Ritual Guide, prep infographic, and an image of Kuan Yin for your altar. For those who can't make the live video call, it is recorded for replay.
Create A Space Clearing Fan During The Witch's Workshop
One of the highlights of the month is the Witch's Workshop. Every month we work on a new activity that will enhance your magical practice on a live video call.
In the Witch's Workshop on April 8th, we are making a space clearing fan that you can use to help move your sage or sweet braid smoke through your space before rituals and as part of your regular energetic hygiene.
For those who can't make the live video call, it is recorded for replay.
Practice Loving Kindness With A Guided Meditation
The meditation this month is the Buddhist Meditation of Loving Kindness. We'll meet with Kuan Yin and have her guide us through this beautiful meditation that you can add to the end of any meditation to share the merits of your practice for the good of all beings.
The meditation is available for download so you can use it any time.
Participate In The Kindness Challenge
Each day in April we'll be looking for a way to be kind to others without expecting anything in return. At the end of the month, we'll create a combined list from everyone who participated so we can see all the good we've shared as a group. Included is a 30 day journal.
Connect with Amazing Witches From Around The World
Not only will you benefit from having access to myself, a high priestess with over 20 years experience, you'll be able to access hundreds of years of collective practices from different cultures from the Coven members.
Our group of modern witches range from maiden to crone will encourage, empower, inspire, support, lend and share resources, cheer you on, give you space to share what's happening with your life.
With membership, you'll get access to the Awakened Soul Coven's private Facebook Group.

- Claire: Claire's Brussels Blog

- Maxine: Why I Am Not Skinny
Please tell us a little bit about yourself. Who you are, where you come from, when you moved to Brussels, etc.
I'm an IT contractor, originally from Scotland, but I currently live in Cheshire in England. I've been working in Brussels since April and generally spend the week here, going home as many weekends as I can afford.
When and why did you decide to start blogging about your experiences?
I decided to start blogging for two main reasons. Firstly I struggled to find out some of the things I wanted to know before I came to Brussels and then once I got here. I figured that if I wanted to know it and couldn't find it then other people would want to know at least some of it too, so I decided that I would share what I found out. The second reason was to give me something to do with myself in my spare time and learn more about blogging and the internet in general. I intend to go on and blog about other subjects in the future.
Do you have any favorite blog entries of yours?
My most popular post so far has been about Gare du Midi station. When I first arrived I found it very confusing and complicated, and I see people asking questions about it on tripadvisor quite a lot.
Tell us about the ways your new life in Brussels differs from that back home. Did you have trouble getting used to the new circumstances? Did you experience culture shock?
The biggest way that my life is different here is that I am on my own away from my wife and son. It has been a bit strange to be away from home so much but needs must. The specialty I work in at the moment is quite unusual so I have to take the work where I find it. I don't think I did experience that much culture shock. I spend a fair amount of time in France, and have been to lots of other big cities so it wasn't too bad. There are obviously some things which are different, and the language can be an issue at times, but nothing insurmountable.
Do you think you were fully prepared for what awaited you in Brussels? If you could, would you change some decisions/preparations you made?
No I wasn't fully prepared. I would have liked to find medium term accommodation before I started work, but as I didn't understand how it worked in Brussels it took me a few weeks to figure that out. I had some issues with my short term accommodation too, the seafood festival meant that Brussels was full one week so I stayed in Antwerp instead!
Every expat knows that expat life comes with some hilarious anecdotes and funny experiences. Care to share one with us?
Not so much funny anecdotes, but there has been a surreal element to a number of things that have happened since I arrived:
- My first strategy meeting, in French, but that covered the same themes as every other software team strategy meeting was on.
- Seeing Morris dancers in Anderlecht, in among a load of Harley Davidson owners was another. They just walked up and announced "we are Morris dancers from Birmingham" (in English) and started up. The bikers were amused and bemused by the whole thing.
- The Scottish pipe band from Antwerp marching through the centre of Brussels playing 'Scotland the Brave' was another surreal highlight.
Which three tips would you like to give future expats before they embark on their new life in Brussels?
- Try to get a good feel for the city before you arrive at your office on the first day, which will help orientate yourself and find your way about.
- Belgian people can be very reserved and quiet when you meet them, but persevere they are friendly underneath on the whole.
- Go easy on the beer, it's very strong!
How is the expat community in Brussels? Did you have a hard time finding like-minded people or fellow expats?
There is a huge expat community in Brussels, partly because of all of the international organizations here, the EU, NATO etc, they make up a significant percentage of the residents of the city. You will hear lots of languages, particularly in the city centre or Schuman. There are a number of different internet sites dedicated to helping expats like this one, which all have a different emphasis on expat life. I have found it quite hard to get to know people, but that's mostly because I work long hours and am not here most weekends I guess.
How would you summarize your expat life in Brussels in a single, catchy sentence?
Interesting, surreal and not as scary as you might imagine!

N4385N was born a Cessna 195, registration mark NC4386N, and granted a Certificate of Airworthiness in 1947. This plane is the 19th 190/195 airframe built. Serial number 7019 was first sold by Cessna to the 1) Clinton Aviation Company at Denver's Stapleton Field on 12 September 1947. The plane was sold 26 February 1949 to 2) Harry L. Couch and Joe Aimonetta of New Castle Wyoming. Shortly thereafter an Aircraft Status Change was filed with the CAA indicating that the Registration was being cancelled due to an accident which occured on 13 June 1949. NC4386N was then sold to 3) Roy Lamoureaux of Casper Wyoming on 10 January 1950. 4) James N. Ray of Cody Wyoming took ownership on 15 January 1953 with a $6522 Chattel Mortgage against the plane. The ownership of Mr. Ray ended with a repossession on 17 June 1953 by 5) Interstate Aircredit Corp of Minneapolis Minnesota, the lienholder. It appears as though Mr. Ray did not surrender the logs, as the records that are present were started 3 January 1954 with a tach time of 316.9 hours.
6) Aircraft Distributors, Inc. of Kansas City Missouri purchased the plane from the Interstate Aircredit Corp on 29 June 1953. The next owner,
7) Frank C. Hoffman Jr. of Jacksonville Illinois, took ownership on 11 February 1954. NC4386N was then sold by Frank Hoffman Jr. to his company, 8) Alamo Airways of Las Vegas, Nevada on 25 June 1954.
9) Peter Gluckmann of San Francisco took ownership with a Bill of Sale dated 22 November 1954. Peter Gluckmann was nicknamed "the Flying Watchmaker" and is famous for being the first man to fly around the world solo, done in a Meyers 200A in 1957. Gluckmann made a poorly documented attempt to fly this 195 around the world in 1956, as evidenced by the picture below of Cessna 195 serial number 7019. This picture was taken in 1956 with the registration mark N238B, with the name "City of San Francisco" displayed across the front side of the plane. It is unknown how far he was able to go on this attempt, and the logs show the ferry tanks being removed from the plane within weeks of the picture taken in England. Gluckmann installed the Continental W-670 240hp engine on this plane, presumably due to the lower oil consumption of the engine leaving more payload for fuel. Gluckmann, after setting the record in the Meyers 200A, disappeared on a flight after leaving Tokyo while trying to better the record in a 250 hp Bonanza which carried 400 gallons of fuel.
The end of Gluckmann's ownership was 8 September 1956, the plane being sold to 10) Vest Aircraft and Finance Company of Denver Colorado, an aircraft dealer who sold the plane later that month to 11) Clarinda Flying Service of Clarinda Iowa. Clarinda Flying service owned serial number 7019 until 1959, and after about 3 years of ownership on 22 March of that year title transferred to 12) Richard Dempster of Atchison Kansas.
After about 5 years of ownership, Dempster sold N238B to 13) Marvin L. Middlebrooks and Jack MacDermott of Fort Worth Texas on 9 September of 1964. About a year later, MacDermott sold his share of the bird to 14) Lloyd Leach, and a $2814.77 Chattel Mortgage was recorded. 15) Middlebrooks became the sole owner of the aircraft on 24 February 1968. Middlebrooks, after nearly 30 years of ownership, sold the plane on 2 August of 1993 to 16) Henry F. Rogers and David G. Mosby (a United Pilot) of Yelm Washington.
Rogers and Mosby appear to have done a fantastic restoration on this plane. The registration mark was changed to N4385N, likely when the plane was painted, notably just one tick off the original registration mark of NC4386N. There is a 1960's dated accident report that shows a 195 with this registration mark being destroyed, which at that time appears to have been serial number 7020. It appears that 17) Mosby bought out Rogers half share in 1994. 18) Ronald L. Thompson of Carefree Arizona purchased serial number 7019 in 1995. 19) Rodney Hill, also of Carefree Arizona, took possession of N4385N in 1997 with a bill of sale executed 21 October of that year.
JW Duff, a Denver area aircraft parts legend, bought this plane in 1999 after a 1998 downwind landing attempt resulted in an accident which took this 195 out of commission. The 20) current owner, a retired 747-400 Captain for Continental Airlines, purchased this aircraft from JW Duff in August of 1999 and she was put back into service on 2 June 2000.
Please don't hesitate to call with questions on this Golden Age of Aviation Cessna. This plane is hangared in the Denver area and available for inspection on appointment.
Optional Equipment and Modifications

Rethinking Math Problems in Secondary Math
Apr 09, 2020
Rethinking Math Problems in Secondary Math: Given all the technology "tools" such as Google, Wolfram-Alpha, and Chegg amongst many others that students use to do their math problems and homework, it is time to rethink the problems/homework we assign students in secondary math classes. This session will provide examples where students are challenged to solve deeper problems and asked to create mathematics where Google is of little help.

How to make it
Cut the stems off of the artichokes at the base of the globe. To trim the artichokes, use a serrated knife to cut off the top 1/3 of the artichoke leaves. Then, using kitchen scissors, cut off the sharp part of the leaves, about the top quarter of the leaf. Rub lemon juice on the cut part of the artichokes so they don't discolor. Fill a large stock pot with water and add the artichokes, mustard seed, peppercorns and kosher salt. Boil for about 35-45 minutes or until bottom stem can be pierced easily with a fork and the leaves pull easily from the artichoke. Depending on the size of your artichokes the cooking time will vary. While the artichokes are cooking, prepare the shrimp salad. Rinse the salad shrimps and pick through for any shells.
Place in a medium size bowl and add the green onions and cilantro. Stir to combine. In a small bowl, combine the seasoned rice vinegar, vegetable oil, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and crushed red pepper flakes and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Pour over the shrimp, stir and refrigerate until the artichokes are done cooking.Once the artichokes are tender, use tongs to pull from the hot water and place upside down on a platter to drain. The leaves will have some of the mustard and peppercorn seeds stuck in between them, and that's okay. Using a hand held strainer, reserve the cooked mustard seeds and peppercorns from the cooking water. Discard the peppercorns but add the mustard seeds to the shrimp salad. Once the artichokes are cool enough to handle, open the middle of the choke and pull out the middle leaves that surround the heart of the artichoke. This will leave some fuzzy parts. Use a spoon to gently dig those out of the heart. Discard the fuzzy parts and the middle leaves.
Serve at room temperature with the shrimp salad spooned into the center of the artichoke. Eat the shrimp with the tender leaves as spoons and dunk the leaves into the extra Thai salad dressing if desired.

You have heard me – and many others – write about how the times for the church are changing dramatically. This is true, but I believe this change has been going on for at least 40 years. One paper I read years ago claimed that this has been happening since the 1930's! The research showed that the growth of church membership has not kept up with the growth of population, at least in America.
Whatever the case, we can see change taking place, and many congregations are closing around us. As I sat in the closing service for one of our churches recently, I was amazed as I listened to all they had done over the years, and someone else said to me afterwards, "It seems like they did everything right, and still, they closed! Is there any hope for any of us?"
The short answer is – Yes. Here is what I have taken away from these sad occurrences:
1) So many of our churches did "all the right things" for a very long time, but at some point – maybe they saw their neighborhoods changing and got afraid, or maybe they got comfortable in their ministry – the stopped doing new things.
2) Most congregations are stuck in the 1950's – the 1850's. That is, they are either still basking in the glory days after WWII when our buildings were hubs and our pews were mostly full, or they are stuck in traditions that began a century and a half ago and refuse to update.
3) They have stayed away from risky and challenging conversations. They didn't want to talk about racism, or homophobia, or the environmental crisis. They played it safe, and in the end, it had the opposite effect they were hoping for.
4) While we are all supposed to spend time together in Christian Fellowship, many of the activities our churches created were secular in nature. Instead of focusing on what churches should do – excellent worship, prayer, bible study, etc – they created closed clubs and country clubs. Those things are fine, but they aren't church.
5) The members are the ones who have, in reality, killed the church. Most of our congregations have at least 2/3 of their members listed as inactive. Many of our active members do not give generously – too many give like it is still, well, 1950 or 1850. Don't get me wrong – there are many very generous people giving to our congregations, but when 20% of the members pay for 100% of the ministry, something somewhere has to give.
We aren't meant to just survive – we are meant to thrive! We are here to care for widows and orphans, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, and share the Gospel (there's a lot more, but I am running out of space). You should be active in the ministry of a congregation that is working out its faith every day. Share that with your friends and neighbors – and help your church to thrive in the 21st century.

MATTHEW VAUGHN Confirmed To Direct 'X-MEN: FIRST CLASS', Release Date Set, Plot DetailsMay 5, 2010
Source: ComingSoon.net
It's been touch and go for the last week, but KICK-ASS director Matthew Vaughn has been confirmed to helm X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, 20th Century Fox's prequel to the lucrative franchise based on the Marvel Comics super-team. Not only have they signed Vaughn, directing his third movie in a row based on comic material, but Fox is confident enough in his abilities to set a release date for June 3, 2011, a little less than 13 months from today.
Plot synopsis: X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men."

Visiting northern Germany in April we are intrigued by stories of huge living willow structures, see them for yourself here.
So we took a couple of days to hunt down some of these amazing creations and found the Boizenburger Schneck (Snail of Boizenburg) not too far from Hamburg. The weidenschneck (willow snail) was down by the Elbe River and when we saw all the high waters we wondered if it could be marooned out there, inaccessible. We drove back and forth along the river, searching, searching. We then resorted to asking for directions and hit pay dirt!
Through driving rain we walked down from the town and then found we could have driven up to it! Back to the car and we finally arrived at our goal. The snail was raised in 2005. No leaves yet this year, it's still winter here but can you imagine walking through when it's all green and leafy and climbing to the upper deck in the tower? Or watching performances on the stage? What a fabulous idea for any community!
There is a weidensymphonie (willow orchestra) on the same site. See the diagram of instruments here.
Each instrument is represented by a willow sculpture. Here is the piano and beyond is the bass then perhaps a trumpet on the left and a horn on the right, and is that a saxophone too? The tall straight ones are flutes, this was fascinating.
The entire orchestra must be represented here because the walk is at least 300 metres long. The long drive and the search were well worth it.
Another day, another search. Snowing this time, we drove to Wendeburg, about an hour from Hannover to find the weidenkirche (willow church). There it was in a churchyard right in town and obviously is being used for services, at least in the warmer weather - brrrrr! It was a nasty day - can you see the snow falling in this photo? That looks like espaliered trees in the surrounding fence in the background, it must be wonderful in the summer to worship here. There are a number of these willow churches in Germany and Googling 'weidenkirche' will find them for you. Pappenheim, Bayern, Steinberg are some of the towns and there is actually a cathedral at Rostock which was built in two months in early spring 2001 with over 600 volunteers from 12 different countries around the world. We'll make a trip to Rostock another time, it's quite a trek - but a willow cathedral! Amazing!
I found this design at Wendeburg simple and regular, it could be adapted for smaller structures. What to do with that heavy willow, yes this would be perfect for a nice shady retreat, large enough for a bench or two.
We had a great day in spite of the weather and when back in Hannover, drove around to find some temporary willow structures in a downtown church square. They were recently put up right on the pavement in beds of soil which are bounded by heavy logs, interesting to see how they will fare in the summertime. Three of these were put up around this church and they must be intended as decorative structures because there are no real openings inviting access to the interior. Hope the barriers will come down once the rods have taken root and leafed out.
The hunt for giant willow was definitely a fun highlight of this visit to Germany! Thanks to a loving and dedicated daughter who chauffeured her willow-obsessed mother on these day trips!

(THE NEW PAPER) - Sometimes, when a chef leaves a restaurant, it is game over.
But other times, it actually helps a restaurant come into its own.
And that is the case with Dining Place, formerly Dining Room by Chef Heman.
His departure seems to be a good thing for it because while respected and talented, chef Heman Tan did not manage to make an impact.
Now, the menu and the concept of Dining Place has changed. It is less "restaurant-y" and more zi char - and it works.
While the luxe options are still available - lobster, crab and expensive fish - the more humble dishes fare wonderfully.
In Orchard Road, a price-sensitive and unpretentious restaurant is a welcome option, especially when you are in the mood for Malaysian-style zi char. The Signature KL Hokkien Noodles (from $12) is a dish I associate more with coffee shops, but eating it in an air-conditioned environment works for me. It is messy, ugly and - for me - yet so beautiful.
I love the strong flavours, slippery noodles and that almost-salty black sauce. Ask for additional deep fried pork lard - because pork lard makes everything better. I am returning for this.
At Dining Place, you can ask for off-menu items too, like kailan. It is done two ways - the leaves shredded and fried, the stems stir-fried - and both are good.
The Deluxe Seafood Hor Fun (from $12) is less successful. There are many versions of this, in all sorts of environments, and many are superior. Still, it is competent, just not spectacular.
The cheeky name of the Iron Cock (from $18) may raise eyebrows, but it is a literal translation from its Cantonese name.
It is a heritage dish from Malaysia, popular in Kuala Lumpur, with drumlets coated in a sweet sauce. While I can't detect if it is cockerel or hen that is used, the dish is delicious.
Also off-menu is the dish of Fragrant Prawns, which serves up prawns in a dry paste of oyster sauce and tomato sauce. The sauce is great with rice, but it does not move me.
With the off-menu dishes, check the prices with the server first in case you get a shock when the bill arrives.

I've suddenly become entranced by acorns. Maybe it's because I've been seeing so many types and forms of them on sale in the shops we visit to deliver our soaps. In the past week or so, I have purchased an antiqued silver acorn ornament, a brass acorn bell and a ceramic acorn trinket jar. Last evening, I was talking to my sister and suddenly it occurred to me that I could make a glass acorn ornament!
To the torch, and this was the result:
I want to electroform the tops - in other words, I want to cover them with a thin coating of copper. Maybe I'll add a stem and electroform that too - or a small oak leaf, if I can find just the right one...
But, while I was torching, I pulled out some transparent ink blue glass and tried what I call my "nebula" technique on it. I remembered to prepare all my stringers and have the foil and wire at the ready so these are just covered with lots of silver.
They reminded me of a cloudy fall sky, so I had a little fun with Photoshop adding a background.
I hope I can get to the torch more often now .. I seem to be gradually getting my mojo back!

Cross-selling is one of the ways to boost consumer spending, increasing the revenue for businesses that are widely used. So what is cross-selling? What is cross-selling in a hotel restaurant? The secret to successful cross-selling in hotel restaurants
What is cross-selling?
What is cross-selling? This is a strategy to sell other products and services to customers in the process of consulting and using products.
Like up-selling , cross-selling also has the ultimate purpose of making customers buy more products and services; Since then, increasing sales revenue for businesses.
In order to conduct cross-selling, in the process of introduction, consultation or conversation during sales, customer service, staff will introduce guests products and services related to the service that customers are using or want to buy. From there, stimulate the shopping ability of customers.
Cross-selling in hotel restaurant
As mentioned, cross-selling is applied in many businesses, many industries. In the hospitality industry, applying cross-selling is very important to increase revenue.
Cross-selling in hotel restaurants not only helps the hotel increase revenue but also helps customers experience the service perfectly and more completely. This is the same way of bringing hotel services and products closer to customers.
For customers, cross-selling also brings significant benefits. Because so many people come to the hotel without knowing the service they want to use. Cross-selling will make them understand more about the product and find the right product for you. Thereby, the hotel is also appreciated for its ability to serve customers; make a better impression in the eyes of customers.
Examples of cross-selling in restaurants and hotels
When guests arrive at the hotel and book a room for a honeymoon, the receptionist will advise on the related services the hotel offers: honeymoon bed decoration , wine, chocolate, meals dark under candles; double room spa services, double travel, … Customers can choose to use one or more of these related services instead of just booking. The hotel sells more products.
When guest arrive at the hotel restaurant and order Foiegrass. Service staff, order will advise customers more about the type of wine most suitable for this dish. At the same time, introducing a type of salad to make the Foiegrass dish more special … Customers feel reasonable and agree to call for more wine and new food.
Cross-selling is different from up-selling
Cross-selling and up-selling have common characteristics that are for product introduction purposes; stimulate consumption; increase revenue for hotels. However, up-selling and cross-selling are two different terms. So how to distinguish cross-selling and up-selling?
Cross-selling is the introduction of related services to customers when customers have purchased a certain product or service. Use a combination of services to help customers have a more perfect experience.
Up-selling is the directing of customers to use more advanced services and products, replacing products and services that customers have previously selected.
Simply, the same is how to increase the cost of customers; but up-selling increases costs by selling more expensive, more expensive products; Cross-selling also sells additional products related to products sold.
In fact, the up-selling and cross-selling implementation process is not separate. Because they are done in the process of consulting for customers or during customer check-in, order. However, depending on the situation, restaurants and hotels will prioritize 1 in 2 or combine up-selling and cross-selling at the same time.
How to carry out successful cross-selling in hotels?
For successful cross-selling in hotels, hotel staff should note the following tips:
About knowledge
Understand clearly the products and services provided by the hotel restaurant. Under the promotions, preferential policies that the hotel is applying.
From the above information, which reasonable services can be combined with which services? What additional services can customers use?
Understand the profile and information of each customer as closely as possible. Information: name, age of the customer, nationality, purpose of the trip, number of people accompanying, … must know before check-in , product consultation for guests.
About how to chat with customers
Always friendly, smiling when chatting with guests. Pay attention to the guests' gestures, eyes but don't stare at the guests.
Use polite voices, respect customers. At the same time, use customer names to address when chatting with guests. When advising foreign guests, always use Mr, Ms, Mrs, Sir, Madam when addressing.
Based on the products customers have purchased; the purpose of the trip and the object of the customer to cross-sell the associated products: spa, laundry, tour, massage, …
Use more open-ended questions to make customers curious about other products and services.
Do not insist, force customers to buy more services. Because that can cause loss of customers, reduce sales; at the same time, making customers feel offensive, underestimating the quality of the hotel service.
See more:
Certain hotel waitress skills must be available
Policies to promote cross-selling in hotels
- Training staff on customer care skills; counseling skills; how to capture customer psychology; … so that each employee can conduct cross-selling skillfully.
- Offer appropriate bonus and commission policies to encourage and motivate employees.
- There are promotion programs, incentives, loyalty policies to stimulate customers' spending.
- In addition, the hotel must also strengthen the quality of its services. Because if they do not satisfy customers, they will not come back and underestimate the hotel.
Whether cross-selling or up-selling has the purpose of increasing revenue for hotels. However, the implementation of cross-selling, up-selling or other strategies: overbooking , minLOS, maxLOS in hotel business must be conducted skillfully and planned. Hopefully, with the sharing on what is cross-selling, Star Solutions will help you have useful information in your work.

did you start these by seed? what type of climate do you live in? i would assume they grow in the heat....i would LOVE to grow tomatillos!

I don't think mine will make it this year, several came up volunteer, but we have a short season. I need to start them in the green house next year. They won't turn brown, but they will fill out the husk and the husk will start to split from the bottom when they are ready. You can also husk and wash the sticky off them and freeze them whole. Great little fruits!
This salsa recipe from allrecipes.com is very good!

I found these at our garden center so they were already started. I'm near St Louis MO but we've been hot this year, much more dry too. We water using a drip hose and have these trellised on cattle fencing, growing next to tomatoes.

I did start some from seed- in the ground, and they are growing but the squash vines took over plus we had deer damage. Not sure if they would have done better placed elsewhere but the ones I planted as plants are huge.

We have fishing line strung around T posts and it's kept the deer out pretty well. We had a digger and put up a short chicken wire fence at the bottom and the deer immediately could see where to jump the line. Chicken wire is now down.

Depending on how much pork you are cooking, and original and never measured recipe from my mom: Cut your pork in bite size pieces, boil with salt 1/2 medium onion, two cloves of garlic and a few bay leaves cook as long as need it or desired. Now boil about a pound of tomatillos all cleaned up and husked, once boiled and cooled off blend with some of the boiled water, onion about a quarter and a jalapeno or two a handful of cilantro oh and a tinny piece of garlic I would say a smallish clove from the inside. Now that is blended heat in a pan like a ts. of oil kind of fry your sauce and as it simmers you could add some broth from the pork and of course add the pork let it simmer for good half hour or more on low. You decide how thin or thick you want your sauce, my mom also added Chayote squash to the sauce right at the beginning so it will cook with everything else serve over a bed of white rice and throw a few slices of avocadoes if desired. I'm a true Mexican so I don't know how true you want your recipe, sometimes true Mexican cooking gets a big "flip" when they become Americanized. Hope you like and enjoy!

The hair will be more silk and soft comparing before. But we do not suggest you put too much oil to on the hair everyday. Because hair oil may make your hair strands dry and hard!4.If you want to get your hair curls back, better to use crimping iron to curl the hair according to its original curly shape again!
How to use wig/hair?1.If you want your wig/hair looks natural/amazing as our post on FB or IG. It is better to book a professional hairstylist to install it.2. If the hair is wavy or curly style, we do not suggest to comb it, if you have to, please comb it with hands or wide-teeth brush gently. Tight teeth brush will ruin the hair original shape and make it frizzy and feel like tangle! Please always comb the hair from the ends, and work your way up.3.When you dye the hair with bleach powder, please control the time within 5 minutes. If you dye it with dye cream, you need to control the time within 20 minutes. Otherwise, the hair will be damaged by cream if you leave it too long there.4.When sleeping, please bong the hair with elastic band or wear a cap. It will avoid tangling or shapes-changing. After waking up, please the remove the band and comb through beginning at the ends and working your way up to the roots.
Hair arrived 5 days prior to ordering it, very happy about that. When unpackaging the hair it was nice, soft and silky no shedding or smell. Can't wait for the result of what I'm going to use the hair for!

The hair is good as always! Very soft and a good size bundle. The only thing I had a issue with was the frontal was extremely thin! I had to sew in some hair on the sides to make the frontal fuller. Other than that I'm a happy customer. This is my third purchase and i will be returning. Love the hair as always only thing I had a issue with was the frontal was EXTREMELY thin. I had to add hair to it to make it full but other than that I loved it. I've worn the wig I made with the hair multiple times. Every time I was it it goes back to its natural soft curl.

BADGER (BAGEHOTT, BAGEWORTH, BAGGOTT), William (by 1532-77/78), of Prestbury, Glos.
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Family and Education
b. by 1532, 1st s. of William Badger alias Bagehott of Hallplace in Prestbury by Alice, da. of John Martin of Chaceley, Glos.1
Offices Held
?Bailiff, manor of Prestbury in 1543; ?servant of Thomas, Baron Seymour of Sudeley by 1549.2
On the return for Cricklade to the Parliament of October 1553 William Badger is styled 'junior, of Prestbury'. Like several other Members for the borough at this period, he came from an area of central Gloucestershire not far from Cricklade: his father owned a house called Overton about a mile outside Prestbury and he himself seems to have spent most of his life in that district. It was either he or his father who at some time in Henry VIII's reign reported hearing seditious words spoken about the jurisdiction of the bishop of Hereford's court in Prestbury, and in 1543 a William Badger was referred to as bailiff of Prestbury and a servant of the bishop. The bishop, John Skip, had been a reformer in his youth and may have helped to advance the fortunes of the Badger family, who appear to have developed Protestant sympathies in later years.3
In 1519 a William Badger, probably the father, witnessed the will of Jane, widow of Sir John Huddleston. Between the Badger home at Prestbury and Hailes, where the will was made, is Sudeley Castle, where Huddleston had been constable until 1510. It seems likely that the Badger family had some connexion with the governors and constables of this castle for a William Badger, probably the Member, was included in a list of servants of Admiral Seymour drawn up in 1549. It is headed 'men meet for my lord's grace' and is probably a list of men who were to be taken into the Duke of Somerset's household after the execution of his brother. Badger may have entered the duke's service but if he did so he probably remained in Gloucestershire, close to his home. If the Badger family retained its connexion with Sudeley, it is likely that Sir John Brydges, constable from 1538, influenced his return, for the Brydges family held manors and lands at Blunsdon, Purton and Stratton near Cricklade. The Seymours could also have supported their former servant, although their influence in the borough had been much diminished by the escheat to the crown of their lands there on the attainders of the Duke of Somerset and Admiral Seymour.4
Badger is marked as having 'stood for the true religion' in the Parliament of October 1553. Apart from his connexions with the Seymours and Bishop Skip, Badger's brother George had married the niece of John Wakeman alias Wiche, who had secured his election as last abbot of Tewkesbury in 1534 with the help of Sir William Kingston and Cromwell and had been consecrated first bishop of Gloucester in 1541. It is interesting to note that William Malvern alias Parker, the last abbot of St. Peter's, Gloucester, who is said to have been elected as first bishop of the new see but to have died before being installed, was the uncle of Thomas Parker I, Badger's fellow-Member. However, both Wakeman and Malvern were dead by 1549 and as there is no evidence that the bishop of Gloucester influenced parliamentary elections in Cricklade, the connexion may be fortuitous.5
It is difficult to distinguish the Member from his father who survived his son by a few months: neither seems to have been very active in the affairs of the county. The family may have been related by marriage to Hugh Westwood, who in November 1542 was joint tenant of two manors near Prestbury with Elizabeth, widow of one Roger Badger and wife of William Pinnock. The Badgers were probably of the same family as Thomas Bagarde, vicar-general to the bishop of Worcester from 1532, who may have introduced them into ecclesiastical administration. The William Badger who, according to lists drawn up in 1552/53 and 1555, was entitled to a yearly pension of 40s. from the dissolved abbey of Winchcombe, could have been the Member or his father. 1n February 1561 the son acquired the leases of the rectories of Badminton and Barrington, Gloucestershire, and in February 1565 that of Puckham woods near Sevenhampton in the same county. His patent for Badminton was surrendered in November 1570 and regranted to his brothers George and Giles.6
The will of William Badger junior, dated 27 Oct. 1577, is badly torn. He bequeathed his soul to God and his body to be buried near his grandfather in the church at Prestbury. He left his leases to his father. He probably died within a few weeks and was certainly dead by 14 Jan. 1578, when his father made his own will.7

Well, the email for Ginny got kicked back as undeliverable. Her inbox must be full...:P
I like it.
I basically did the same thing to Broker Price Opinion for 4 bpos that they owed me on. They responded making promises to pay that never happened. I took them to Small Claims court, got my judgement and filed liens on the properties. Those 4 bpos are now nearing $200 each. The sad thing is is that whoever owns those properties now have cloud on title.
I DID , I threatened to call their lenders, got paid in FULL and told them I would never work with them again. They are operating on a show string, will promise you a check and it never comes. Get tough with them
Hello Jeffrey,
I am owed approx. $2,300 from Valuaion Vision for BPOs performed from August thru December of 2014.
I call Erik, who is the person in charge of payments and he is constantly lying and making up stories as to why they have not paid but will soon pay, same lines week after week. I am finally fed up and I am writting letters to the state attorney generals of California and Florida (where I am located). First to California so that the state attorney can start a criminal investigation for fraud and the the Florida state attorney so that they can suspend/revoke Valuation Visions license to operate until they do pay. I will post their names and addresses in a few days, so that those affected can also write demanding action.

Don't hold your breath on expecting the Caliifornia AG to do anything. Last year I did 4 bpos for Broker Price Opinion just to see if they had cleaned up their act. They never paid and after 6 months and talking with a lawyer friend of mine I sent a letter to the California AG (Kamala Harris) and just got a letter back saying that the amount they owed me was a Small Claims matter and basically wished me good luck in solving the problem.
Stay away from REOPRO / IREOPRO / REO PRO CORP - They are a scam.... http://reoprocorp.com/
Still have not received Payment for Valuation Vision.... UGH
Hey at least I got a 1099 from Valuation Vision today. At the rate they're going, I won't get one in 2015.
what is the number for Valuation Vision, the number i am calling saying my account is locked 760 208 6400, just trying to get my money too
Hey I actually got a check from Valuation Vision this week! It's about a third of what they owe me but its a start!
Received another check last Friday. Perhaps there is movement?

Regulation Impact Statement Updates
Official website for publishing regulatory impact analysis information for regulatory decisions announced by the Australian Government, COAG and COAG Councils.
Stronger Rural Health Strategy
Regulation Impact Statement – Department of Health
On 11 March 2019, the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs made the following instruments:
- Migration (LIN 19/047: Specification of Occupations—Subclass 187 Visa) Instrument 2019
- Migration (LIN 19/048: Specification of Occupations—Subclass 482 Visa) Instrument 2019
- Migration (LIN 19/049: Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities—Subclass 186 Visa) Instrument 2019.
The instruments give effect to the Stronger Rural Health Strategy - Overseas trained doctors in areas of doctor shortage initiative, which seeks to ensure the right balance of specialist General Practitioners (GPs) is available to the Australian community while also providing opportunities for Australian trained doctors. The instruments require all employers wishing to nominate a doctor for a position in one of three occupations—General Practitioner, Resident Medical Officer, and Medical Practitioners not elsewhere classified— under the skilled migration program to have a Health Workforce Certificate (HWC), provided by a Rural Workforce Agency (RWA). A HWC is a letter issued by a RWA confirming the genuine need to fill a primary healthcare position at a given location in Australia by a doctor.
The Stronger Rural Health Strategy (the Strategy) announced as part of the 2018-19 Budget aims to build a sustainable, high quality health workforce distributed according to community need, particularly in rural and remote communities. The Strategy includes a range of incentives, targeted funding and bonding arrangements and will give doctors more opportunities to train and practice in rural and remote Australia. It will also enable a stronger role for nurses and allied health professionals in the delivery of more multidisciplinary, team based models of primary health care.
A Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) examining the Strategy was prepared by the Department of Health and has been assessed as compliant by the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR). While the RIS sought to provide an explanation for need for change, the OBPR view was that it did not sufficiently explain oversupply in the GP context or fully draw out the risks this type of major reform presents to the broader health system. Noting the complexity of the labour market and the multiple layers of policy that interact with it, the decision would have been better informed by greater analysis of the key drivers expected to incentivise Vocationally Recognised GPs to both move and remain in regional areas. The RIS was therefore assessed as not quite achieving best practice.
The Department estimates the reforms will result in a net increase in regulatory burden of $0.57 million dollars a year. The OBPR has agreed to this estimate.

To whit: I once had a neighbor who, in a previous life, had been a NM highway patrol officer. He would occasionally stop people going 65-70 in a 55 (these were the days when it was all 55) and then tell them he would write the ticket for only 57 mph, because he was such a nice guy (it, in fact, made no difference in terms of fines or points). He did this because sometimes he would want to pull a driver over for another reason (suspected DUI or carrying drugs or something) who was driving 56 mph. Then when that person's lawyer would challenge him in court, saying "C'mon, you never pull someone over for going 56 in a 55," he could refute this by showing these previous tickets he had written. Clever.
Me: Heading east on Hamilton in NW DC, close to New Hampshire in the bicycle lane at a relaxed pace.
You: Tooting your horn at me, presumably because you wanted me to exit the bike lane so that you could idle your sedan in it.
I'm sure you're quaking in your boots at DC's coming enforcement against vehicles in bike lanes.
Me: Getting a parking ticket on my bike.
You: Meter maid who doesnt know a car from a bike?
