Top Of The Range Battery Sweeper
The KGA 770 is the top of the line in the new manual sweeper range from STIHL. The high performance of the STIHL 36V AP 160 lithium-ion battery, in conjunction with the STIHL MultiClean PLUS sweeping system, allows for up to 2000 m² of neatly swept surfaces wet or dry. The variable height can be easily adjusted in a matter of seconds. The large opening allows objects as big a a soft drink can to be quickly swept away. Weighing in at just 16kg, the sweeper can be easily transported with minimal effort. The sweeper can be used manually when recharging.

Standard features
STIHL MultiClean PLUS
The MultiClean PLUS system ensures the sweeping machine can handle all kinds of dirt, cans, plastic bottles. Heavy and wet debris are also no problem. The system also takes care of very fine dust. Debris is brushed up in front of the machine before gets caught under the tool.
Robust bristles
The long-lasting bristles are made of durable nylon.
Central height adjustment
With central height adjustment, you can easily adjust the height of the bristles, ensuring an optimal sweeping result for all kinds of different surfaces.
Waste container
The impressively spacious container holds a large amount of debris, but takes up very little space. The tool can be stored upright on the container to save space, without spilling any dirt.
Ergonomic push handle
The sweeper is effortless to push and can easily be adapted to users of different heights. The handle can also be removed for easy transport.
Extended-life gearbox
Direct transmission improves efficiency compared with belt-drive machines, making the machine lighter to push. The circular brushes also turn inward when reversing which prevents dust from being expelled.
Rotating brush roller
The roller brush allows any fine dust not collected by the bristles to be swept into the waste container.
Side guide rollers
The spacer rollers at the sides guide the machine when sweeping along objects such as walls or kerbs. These also serve to protect both the sweeper and the wall from damage.
AL 500 Super Charger
With the increase in battery capacities the new AL 500 Super Charger enables extremely rapid charging to minimise down time and allow increased productivity. Charging the AP 300 to 100% in 35 minutes and the AR 3000 backpack battery to 100% in 160 minutes the AL 500 Super Charger is aimed at the professional landscapers using the STIHL battery range. The reduced charge times make the STIHL battery power system even more desirable and allows all day working in the professional area.

A Quick Boating Guide for Stormy Weather
Picture this: you're out on the boat with your loved ones and all of a sudden you hear stormy weather brewing in the distance. While you can often watch out for storms before heading out on your trip, it never hurts to know what to do if you're suddenly caught in a storm.
It goes without saying that you should always have life vests aboard when boating. You should also notify a family member, who is not accompanying you on your trip, of your boating plans regardless of the type of weather you're expecting. In addition, if the weather conditions are looking particularly stormy, you should reschedule your trip for a more accommodating day.
Here are some tips for boating in stormy weather:
First, make sure to have back-up essentials.
Here are some key items to have on board:
- External battery phone charger: In the event that your phone battery gets drained, pack an external battery phone charger to charge your phone so that you can communicate your location during a storm.
- First-aid kit: Make sure you have your first-aid kit stocked with the essentials.
- Flashlights: If the power goes out on your boat, it never hurts to have backup flashlights.
- Portable marine battery jump starter: This will also be very helpful if you lose power.
Head to shore quickly, yet safely.
While this might seem like common sense, you must head to shore during stormy weather instead of trying to tough it out. It's certainly important to head back to shore quickly, but you shouldn't do so in a hurry by speeding and putting your passengers at risk. Remain calm so that you can safely navigate back to shore.
Lower any bimini tops and curtains.
During stormy weather, it's likely that the wind will pick up. When you see stormy weather encroaching, it's time to lower the boat tops and curtains in case the wind picks up, and they become troublesome or dangerous when you're trying to navigate back to shore.
Know what to do if there's lighting.
First, clear your view. In addition to lowering any boat tops, remove any fishing rods, antennas and loose items out of the way. Next, disconnect any backup batteries to prevent them from being damaged if lightning does strike. Then you should record your GPS coordinates so that you can communicate this via radio or your cell phone. Lastly, tell your passengers to take refuge in the boat cabin until the storm passes.

B stands for Buzz....B stands for Brownies
I've always loved the smell of coffee, but for some reason I just can't bring myself to drink it. Even with several scoops of sugar and probably way too much cream, I still can't swallow that bitter tasting liquid. But for some strange reason, I absolutely love, love, love, Roselani Kona Mud Pie ice cream. It's creamy kona coffee ice cream with a decadent fudge swirl and chunks of chocolate cookie pieces. Yum, pure caffeine heaven. The first time I ever tried it, I thought it was the best ice cream ever and continued to eat several bowls of it. Little did I know that my body was not used to caffeine, and I ended up staying awake for a really long time. Let's just say I did not sleep until the following day...
So anyways, how does my story about caffeine relate to those brownies above? Well, those brownies aren't just any old brownie. No, they are espresso brownies. Made with 2 whole tablespoons of espresso! Definitely going to pack a punch, don't you think? I made these for my friends birthday, and everyone loved them. You could definitely detect the coffee-ness, but it wasn't too overpowering, more of a subtle hint of a caffeine buzz!
Espresso Brownies
Adapted From Fat Witch Brownie

5. Sift in the flour and salt, then stir until combined.

What's tangy and sweet with a tender buttery crust?
I have to say, although the Fat Witch Co. specializes in brownies, their lemon bar recipe is out of this world. It produces a tangy, delicious, and sweet-but-not-too-sweet lemon bar. Er, actually I didn't have any lemon juice on hand so I substituted lime juice, so I actually made lime bars. Also, I may have used a wee bit too much lime juice. They were a tad on the tangy side, but I loved them. My friends especially went crazy for the crust. Yes, the shortbread crust was great! Soft, slightly buttery, and tender, yet strong enough to hold the filling and not crumble apart when eaten. I know what you're thinking. How can that be? A brownie company with a recipe book containing lemon bars...that have a tasty shortbread crust? Well it's all true.
I know the picture doesn't look too appetizing, but they actually look a lot better in real life. I just have no photography skills....But don't let the unappealing photo stop you from trying these bars!

How do you store cookie dough?!
Sometimes I wonder if people who limit what they eat are missing out on any important/crucial food experiences. Like don't they wonder what a hamburger tastes like? Or how about a triple hot fudge banana split sundae with extra rainbow sprinkles? Even with substitutions and the like, I've always wondered if it's still as good as the original. I mean, there are certain foods I'd just never be able to give up. But at least if I turned vegan over night, I would still be able to eat a peanut butter oatmeal cookie. Yup, today's recipe is a vegan peanut butter oatmeal cookie. I have to say, some of those vegan cookie recipes don't store well in the fridge, but this isn't one of them. I made the dough on the weekend, and baked them during the week whenever I had a pb and oatmeal craving. Actually, now that I think about it, do you ever have to refrigerate vegan cookie dough? There's no eggs or dairy. Huh, that's a good question. Maybe next time I make a batch of vegan cookie dough I'll leave it out and see what happens.
If anybody has already tried that, please let me know. Or, if you found a way to store vegan cookie dough, please tell me :) (When I refrigerate the dough and then bake it, the dough spreads and I get a very flat cookie with very thin edges)

The cookies themselves very quite tasty. They had a nice peanut buttery oaty taste, without tasting like you're eating a health food (which they're def not). I liked how they held up well because they were easy to bring to school. If you like crunchy cookie bake them a little longer, and if you like soft cookies bake them on the shorter side.

½ cup peanut butter, creamy

¾ cup packed dark brown sugar

Fat Witch Brownie!
When you read these words: Fat Witch, what do you think of? Something fat? A witch? A fat witch? How about the brownies from NY's Fat Witch Bakery? No? Well, after trying these brownies, you definitely will.
I've actually never been to the bakery (hopefully I will soon), so I have not tried their original brownie. However that didn't stop me from borrowing their cookbook from the library. (I like to borrow my books to see if I like them before buying them-this book definitely passed the test!) So far, I've made four of their recipes and loved all of them! But first, you have to start with the original, right?
If you like slightly cake-y, not too rich/dark brownies, than I bet you would call these brownies "perfect". And not so surprisingly, many people love those types of brownies. I brought them to school, and before lunch my container was empty!
All of the recipes are made for a 9x9 pan, but I only had a 8x8, and rather than over filling the pan, I made mini bite-sized brownies! My mom called these the perfect diet desserts, as they are already portioned, but decadent enough to feel like you're indulging. I, on the other hand, prefer a large square of brownie with a glass of milk, or even better, a bowl of vanilla ice cream!
Original Fat Witch Brownie
14 Tbs butter
½ cup plus 2 Tbs bittersweet chocolate
1 ¼ cup gran sugar
4 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs unbleached flour
pinch salt
1. Grease 9x9 and preheat oven to 350˚F (Or grease an 8x8 and line 9 mini muffin tins with baking cups)
2. Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave.
3. Cream together eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in chocolate mixture.
4. In a separate bowl sift together flour and salt.
5. Fold in to the chocolate mixture
6. Pour in to prepared pan and bake for 33 minutes

Caramel cuts...dense chewy pure heaven
I rarely make the same thing twice, that is unless I'm trying to find "The One". Remember those snickerdoodles? (Snickerdoodle #: 1 2 3 4). Well, I've finally found the perfect caramel cut. Dense, chewy, with a powerful punch of caramel-y goodness. These bars are perfect for a picnic, afterschool snack, or actually anytime of the day. But with 2 cups of sugar, maybe it's not meant for breakfast...that is unless you have a sweet tooth like mine :) (A tall glass of milk and one of these babies makes a sweet breakfast!)
I've always wondered why these are called "caramel cuts". Why not caramel bars? I guess people would think of caramel in bar form. Well then how about calling them brunettes? They have blondies and brownies, why not brunettes? It could be the next big thing! Instead of, "Would you like a blondie", people would say, "Would you like a brunette?". Or, if you're not a big fan of hair colors as food names, then how about Pure Heaven Bars or Dream Bars or Dense, Chewy, Deliciousness. Okay, maybe I'm not the most creative.
What would you call these bars? I'd love to hear some new names!
Caramel Cuts
1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1. Preheat oven to 350˚F and grease an 8x8 pan
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved and similar to a very thick caramel
3. Remove from heat.
4. In a small bowl beat together eggs and vanilla.
5. Slowly add the egg mixture to the caramel mixture, being careful not to cook the eggs. If the mixture is still too hot, wait to add the eggs. (We don't want caramel and scrambled egg bars!)
6. Sift the flour in to the mixture. Stir until combined
7. Pour in to prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cute Totoro Themed Bento ^_^
We spent two hours cutting and shaping food, and then trashing our funny looking shapes. It was horrible :( We probably wasted a huge amount of food. For example, do you see that flower? Well it's made out of tamago (egg), which we bought due to convenience, and a scored hot dog. I bet we threw away/ate over half the package of tamago before getting the petals to spread apart without breaking. Such a waste!! I don't know how those Japanese mom's make their kid's bento so cute!? Well I guess if you did this everyday you'd become pretty fast, but still....
See those meatballs with eyes? They're supposed to be susuwatari, you know little fuzzy black spirits that floated around the attic in the movie? And the eggs with sesame seeds for eyes are supposed to be chibi totoros (mini totoro).
So, what do you think? Is it as good as the Japanese bentos?

Kinako Ice Cream Balls for Boy's Day...Er, Children's Day?
Happy boy's day everyone! Er, or should I say children's day? I'm not sure what to call today anymore. I feel like since girls have they own day (March 3rd), guys should too. When it was boy's day, do you remember doing something nice for the guys? Or if you're a guy do you remember the girls doing something nice for you? Throughout grade school, every Boy's day the girls put up all of the boy's chair on their desk at the end of the day, and on Girl's day, the guys put up our chairs. Do you celebrate Boy's Day?
melty blends(ganache-like-chocolate in cube form rolled in cocoa powder)! Once I scooped them in to small balls, I rolled them in kinako powder, and refroze them in mini muffin tin cups!

Vegan Brownies #2...
vegan brownies, I was excited to try another recipe, but this time without the espresso powder. (Maybe this was what made them a wee bit too dark for some?) I found a delicious sounding cocoa brownie in the Vegan Cookie cookbook, but it called for firm tofu, which I did not have on hand. But no fear, there is always the internet, right? So I looked up 'vegan brownie', and one of the first results was this recipe, from All Recipes. I'm not sure if it was me, but for some reason there was something quite off about these brownies. I had my mom try them, and well, let's just say her face spoke for her. I found them quite dry (I don't think I over baked them, as I took it out a several minutes early), and devoid of a chocolate flavor. I think next time I'll just bike to the store for some firm tofu!
If you would like to see the recipe, it's from here.

Japanese Sponge Cake Mix...Made In The Microwave :)
I bet you've probably heard of microwave cakes, but have you heard of a microwave vanilla sponge cake? Well now you have! I was recently at Nijiya, a Japanese supermarket, when I spotted this little container. Isn't it the cutest thing? What really caught my eye was the characters saying moko moko (In red in the top left hand corner) which means fluffy and soft. I actually learned this word from my host sister. While I was shopping with my host sister in Japan, I came across the softest, fluffiest sweater, and she immediately said "moko moko!".

The hole
Volunteers from Animal Aid India looked into this hole which seemed empty. But alas, it was not.
The volunteers found a dog inside that had its face chewed off by maggots. He went inside the hole to wait for his slow and painful death.
Rescue mission
The volunteers took it upon themselves to help the poor dog names Kulu.
Lifted him out
With time and efforts, the volunteers managed to lift poor Kulu out for his treatment.
The face
This is what Kulu's face looked like. It was completely chewed off which even made the volunteers consider mercy killing. But they soon decided to give him another shot at life.
Removal of maggots
They applied powder on to his face to get it rid of the maggots.
Once the maggots were killed and removed, the volunteers began cleaning his face and injuries.
The exposure
It broke their hearts to see that Kulu's eyes were not visible and a part of his skull was exposed scaringly.
On day three Kulu finally began eating slowly. Of course he was slower than normal dogs, but he was at least beginning to get there.
Great treatment
With the effects of the treatment, Kulu's eyes were visible on day 5. He had finally started to recover.
He is better now
It took him three months to finally get better. With Animal Aid India's help and hard work Kulu is now a healthy dog with a recovered face.
He is loved and supported
Volunteers of Animal Aid India give him constant love and nurturing. He runs around like other dogs.
Everyone loves him
He suffered a great deal, but is now healthy and loved by all. He is also the center of attraction.
Nothing is impossible
If you consider the time when the volunteers considered giving him death to save him from his suffering… you'll also believe that nothing is impossible.
Check out the video to see Kulu's complete story.

I'm feeling cranky. First, Geraldo unleashed an appalling nude selfie on the Twitterverse, and then we got this:
Yeah, I know. You've seen it already, and I'm a big fat hypocrite for reproducing it and then complaining about people who reproduce it, but I'm trying to make The Larger Point.
It's Melissa Harris-Perry, a name I had never heard before she appeared in a video some months back extolling the virtues of confiscating children from their parents and turning them over to a collective for education and upbringing:
The simmering arrogance of that statement takes the breath away. If you pay very close attention to the clip, you can almost hear the sound of jackboots and smell the stench of the gulag, but with pretty microbraids!
In the picture above she is shown wearing tampon earrings as a protest against the confiscation of feminine hygiene products from women going into Texas State Legislature. Those products were not confiscated because the men were afraid of women or thought they could somehow thwart menstruation or something. Trust me, men think about menstruation as little as humanly possible.
They were confiscated because the protesters were smuggling in large quantities of them–along with jars full of urine and excrement–to throw at legislators in order to disrupt the democratic process. This was all in an effort to prevent abortion clinics from having to meet the same health and regulatory requirements as your run-of-the-mill ambulatory clinic. So, next time some pro-abort troll gives you their standard line about "safe, legal, and rare," remind them that they fought for the right to make sure every Texas abortuary was safe … to be another Kermit Gosnell house of horrors.
And let's pause for a moment to ponder the mentality of women who would crap in jars, stick it in their purses, and attempt to smuggle them into a historic building and seat of democracy in order to throw it upon another human being in order to thwart the vote of duly elected officials. There's the abortion movement in a nutshell for you.
You know: the mentality that gives kids signs like this:
Okay, so the troll Harris-Petty dons tampon earrings in some sort of "protest" against this and in support of unlimited, unsanitary abortion-on-demand. Normally, when a little girl sticks tampons in her ears in a public place, she gets sent to the principal's office and kept after school. MSNBC gives her a TV show.
High school kids often do weird and pointless stunts like this to gain attention. I once slipped into the upstairs hallway in my high-school and put condoms over all the doorknobs. My excuse is that I was 14 and an idiot looking to shock. Harris-Perry taught at Princeton for several years. She has no excuse.
Except, it worked: everyone wound up doing exactly as she wanted. This was the action of someone saying, "PAY ATTENTION TO ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! I'M A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE! I'M MAKING A SOME POINT ABOUT SOMETHING [details to be filled in later.]"
It's simply attention whoring. In the internet age, it's link-bait. It's a ready-made thought virus, sure to be shared by supporters ("Yay Melissa! You did … something!") and foes ("Just LOOK at this ignorant tool!") There is no downside to this kind of low-class behavior for either side: supporters get the thrill of shock, and foes get the thrill of outrage. And now I've heard about Melissa Harris-Perry twice instead of once.
Everyone wins … except the culture, which dies the death of a thousand little cuts that makes us more vulgar, less human.
We have rewarded her. I don't know why we do this. We don't need to react, but we do react, just like dogs drooling for the dinner bell. In contrast to what leftists like to think, conservatives are not, in fact, "reactionary."
No one needs to know what goes on at MSNBC or on Rush Limbaugh or react to the outrage-du-jour. It's all irrelevant. It vanishes into the ether, leaving only the smell of sizzling ozone as it goes, while we move to the next outrage, becoming complicit in a self-sustaining media-outrage cycle.
These aren't skirmish in a culture-war with a victory in sight. This is World War I trench combat: a fixed line that wavers and consumes casualties and never moves.
We can rob the attention whores and the media industrial complex of some of their power by simply ignoring it. MSNBC gets more attention from enemies than supporters. We have more readers at Patheos Catholic than Harris-Perry has viewers.
I remember when Shoutin' Bill Donohue mailed around hundreds of copies of an offensive image of the Blessed Mother in order to gin up outrage at the creator. Hardly anyone had seen the original image. Once Shoutin' Bill was done, thousands had seen it. If our goal is to protect and defend the image of Mary, how is this a win?
The world is full of wonder, and Melissa Harris-Perry and her juvenile shock tactics or Geraldo and his exhibitionism aren't worth your time. In a world in which you have not, for example, read this:
…or seen this…
…or watched this …
…how can you justify spending even 5 seconds of your finite time on this glorious earth paying attention to talking heads hungry for attention to feed their own malignant narcissism?
Just say no.
PS: "Attention whore" is a gender neutral term, but I considered using something else because people will say, "You called her a whore!"
No, I didn't. Do note: Rush Limbaugh, Keith Olberman, and Bill O'Reilly are also attention whores. They are all people who desire attention at all costs, and will do anything to gain that attention. Our entire celebrity culture is wall-to-wall with attention whores, male and female.

NIK HDR Efex Pro version
Photomatix 4.0 version
Round 2 of NIK vs Photomatix. OK, I am not a techie and cannot break down every bit of detail in a photo, I base my opinion on ease and an overall visual inspection. I compared the above shots of the lovely St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco. I chose the shot yesterday for tough sunny windows and today was about details and colors. Both shots were processed using the same amount of time and steps (or as close as possible). Yes, the PM version can be cleaned up a bit more, but I wanted to use equal steps.
ROUND 2 – WINNER – NIK HDR Efex Pro I must say…game over…NIK wins hands down. I am truly impressed.
My order has already been placed for the NIK HDR Efex Pro. I will now use this software to process my HDR's. In only 2 rounds, it was an easy victory. You can download the trial all by yourself and compare. Everyone has different opinions and that is what makes the world go around. So see how you like it. Some of my thoughts on NIK HDR Efex Pro:
1) Great colors – especially red tones
2) Sharp
3) Solid HDR Presets
4) Seems to handle difficult light better than Photomatix
5) After Processing there seems to be a smoother highlight/shadow transition throughout the entire photo. If you use Photomatix you sometime have falloff in certain areas.
6) After post processing your exposures, the photo is closer to completion than a Photomatix version…this leads to less addtl post processing time
1) Slow Processing – does take alot longer than Photomatix
2) Higher pirce. $50 more than Photomatix…search the net you can find 15% off coupon codes for NIK products all over. I think Scott Kelby has one! Makes it more affordable.
I'm sure there will be many different opinions. This is just mine. Buh-bye Photomatix! NIK rules!! I will go Round 3 on Monday for fun and try to find a troubling sky shot with possible halos.

Motor Vehicle Accident Injuy Lawyers
Have you sustained an injury as the result of a motor vehicle accident in Canberra or the ACT?
An accident victim will be eligible for damages for injuries as a result (or partly as a result) of the negligence of a driver or owner of a motor vehicle other than themselves in the ACT. The vehicle responsible for the accident needs to have been registered. If the vehicle which caused the accident is unregistered, you are still entitled to claim damages provided the accident occurs on a public road in the ACT.
In Australia all States require road users to have Compulsory Green Slip, Third Party Insurance. It is the Third Party Insurer who will pay for the damages occasioned by its negligent insured.
Unfortunately not all road users abide by the law and some drive their vehicles on the road without registration or compulsory Third Party Insurance. In these cases, there is a body known as the Nominal Defendant who will be responsible for the damage. The Nominal Defendant is an insurer who assumes responsibility for the actions of an unregistered or uninsured driver.
The Nominal Defendant rotates each month so that the major participating insurers share responsibility for a month each. Before lodging a claim with the Nominal Defendant you will need to have made "due search and inquiry". This involves speaking to witnesses, reporting the matter to the police, asking people in the surrounding neighborhood and finally placing an advertisement in the local paper calling for witnesses to come forward.
If an injured person is partially at fault a claim may still be lodged. An apportionment will however be made to take into account the extent of liability. If for example as a pedestrian you cross a road instead of crossing on a pedestrian crossing you may be 50% at fault. In this case any settlement amount you recover will be deducted by 50%.
To be eligible for general damages (damages of non-economic nature ie injury to the body) your injuries will need to exceed 10% Whole Person Impairment. This is an American threshold which has been introduced in Australia. Generally injuries of soft tissue nature will not exceed 10%. Injuries involving fractures and breaks requiring surgery and resulting in a restriction of day to day activities may exceed 10%. There are a number of independent assessors who will ultimately assess each claimant and provide a written report.
The report is binding and there is only a limited right to appeal. Where the injury does not exceed 10% a claimant is still able to claim past and future treatment, past and future loss of wages and legal costs.

An effortlessly chic moveable feast
An effortlessly chic moveable feast Effortlessly chic. An effusion of culture, couture and cuisine. A place whose name alone conjures up images of whirlwind romances and infamous scribes: This is Paris. Whether you're arriving to or departing from Paris by train, you'll get to travel through one of the seven train stations currently in use. Paris' train stations are spectacular buildings, which have been immortalized by generations of artists such as famed French painter and impressionist pioneer Claude Monet. Gare De Lyon, built for the World Exposition of 1900 is a classic study in architecture for that time period. But don't be fooled by the façade. Inside you'll find the high-speed TGV terminal that whisks travelers throughout France at record speeds. Walk with your head toward the sky, under its massive glass roof or have dinner in the legendary Train Bleu restaurant. This is a unique traveler experience - inside a train station.

The record-breaking TGV can whisk you to Geneva (3h20) or Zurich (4h30) via its TGV Lyria service, or Frankfurt (4h), via the recently inaugurated TGV East line. Learn more about Paris

The third article in the inspection series covers techniques and guidelines for conducting barracks inspections. Frequent barracks inspections provide leaders the ability to monitor the health and welfare of their Soldiers. Many Soldiers feel this inspection is unfair as they are subject to more inspections than the Soldiers who live off-post or in post quarters. To some degree this is understandable but Soldiers must also understand that unit leadership is directly responsible for helping to maintain the barracks and therefore must actively check the barrack to ensure proper maintenance is being conducted and that Soldiers are taking care of the barracks.
Click to read Part 1 of this series: U.S. Army Inspections: The Basics
Click to read Part 2 of this series: U.S. Army Inspections: Planning & Preparation
Squad leaders should be checking the barrack on an informal basis 2-3 times a week. The platoon sergeant should be conducting an informal check weekly along with the First Sergeant. These checks should include spot checking rooms for cleanliness/neatness, physical security compliance, equipment failures, and maintenance issues.

We have been using Mortensen Tree Service for several years now. They have always taken great care of our trees with the extensive work they do for us. They have done a lot of tree trimming for us since we have a lot of them in our property, and removed old ones. We really appreciate it because it's beneficial for the health of the trees. Their staff is very professional and competent. Their prices are fair as well. I am extremely happy with them and recommend them to anyone.

15 Good Years and Counting
15 years ago today, at the building that Stillwater First Baptist Church meets in, Lacey and I made a "for better or worse, until death do us part" covenant. A covenant of God's own sovereign and perfect making (Matthew 19:6).
When I do premarital counseling with couples I tell them: "I have never regretted marrying Lacey." And I sincerely mean it. I have never had covenant remorse.
That's not to say it has always been easy. We are two saved sinners who are in constant process of being sanctified of our selfishness by the power of the transforming Holy Spirit through the plan of marriage. One of the first things I realized after we publicly committed to each other was this: "I am a me-centered person. I am really selfish. I like things my way." And by the way, I still can be very selfish, but Lacey has helped me see that, and by God's grace He has used her to expose some of my blind spots and to help me be more like Christ. When we got married, I had little idea that God would use His plan of marriage to be so good to me (and hopefully her) in conforming me to the image of His son. In hindsight, it is surprising that this surprises me, because when we submit ourselves to God and each other – and they go together – then God uses marriage to make much of the gospel and make us more like Christ (Ephesians 5:21-33). If we miss the true purpose of marriage, we will make it about our happiness and we will be self-centered and there will be no joy in it. But when we give ourselves to God and another, it is in giving that we receive true and lasting joy. Yes, even when we give ourselves to very imperfect, often self-centered people, God uses it for His glory and our good.
But Lacey isn't self-centered. She is giving and caring. That's why the last 15 years have been so good. Lacey has submitted herself to her God and to her husband. I have tried to do likewise (Eph. 5:21). Here are some ways we have submitted to each other for the good of each other:
- We have always tried to make Christ the center of our marriage, which means He is the boss of both of us. So when we have made a decision, we have always tried to do it in a way that submits to Christ and His word. So ultimately, we are trusting Christ and not each other for our greatest joy.
- We have always tried to set clear expectations for partnership and ownership. For instance, we have a budget that helps us communicate on how our money will be spent. A budget is nothing more than a communication piece for expectations. Even if something seems obvious, it is good to say it so the other person can know what to expect.
- We value each other's strengths. Lacey is wonderfully hospitable and good at organizing to serve others. She is good at picking colors and helping me to be color-coordinated when I dress. She is much better than me at being optimistic and having faith. She is a better listener than I am. She has a sensitivity to worldly dangers that I don't have. She helps me to be aware when I am insensitive to others.
- We are intentional about liking each other and being friends. We still say please and thank you. We ask questions instead of making demands. We try to value each other's likes – meaning she gladly lets me watch football and I try to gladly let her watch Hallmark Movies (which are all the same). She likes to shop and I shop only out of necessity. I like to burn wood in SE Oklahoma. Lacey – not so much.
- We have become good at admitting we are wrong and apologizing in a healthy way. I have had a lot of practice at this. We don't go to bed angry, and when we apologize, we make a full apology. "Is being sorry enough?"
- We trust each other. I don't ever wonder about whether Lacey will forget the kids or spend more money than she should. I trust her fully to say and do the right things for our children, our family and our ministry together.
- We support each other in dry seasons. There have been a few seasons in which both of us have been in life-funks. We trust each other enough to express it, and then we pray for each other and support each other with extra patience, even when it is hard.
- We have goals that we are working on together. Discipling our children is our greatest joy and responsibility. We have financial goals we want to achieve. To do these things requires sacrifice for the greater good. Teamwork makes the dream work.
- We pray together almost every night before we go to bed.
- We know what marriage is and we love and trust God enough to adhere to His beautiful design. From the beginning marriage was God's idea for one man and one woman to be committed to each other for a lifetime (Genesis 1:27 and 2:24; Mark 10:1-12). It's not always easy, but it is, and will be worth it because God said so.
I like my wife and I have made the commitment to love her (do what is best for her according to God's word) every single day. We are not perfect at marriage and it is not always easy, but because of God's goodness to us through it, how can I regret any of it – for better or for worse?
It's been a good 15 years, and if the Lord wills it, I hope for 15 more years of growth in marriage. Happy anniversary Lacey Prentice!

Pokémon Go has barely been out in the wild for a week and it's already a global phenomenon - which is pretty impressive when you consider it's not even officially available in plenty of countries including the UK. But that hasn't stopped the GPS-powered Pokémon master simulator from leading to some of the weirdest, funniest and downright disturbing moments. Here are five of our favourites so far...
Man catches Pidgey while his wife is in labour
If you're sat in a maternity ward on the day your child is due to be born, there's a good chance the woman in your life wants your attention to be fixed on her and the impending birth. Well, if your one Jonathan Theriot from Texas, there's a good chance you've got Pokémon Go open while you're other half is led on her hospital bed.
Theriot, not to miss an opportunity, saw a wild Pidgey make an appearance and soon threw a Pokéball to add it to his collection. After screenshotting the scene of an augmented reality pidgeon sat near his pregnant missus he showed her what he was up to. Apparently she found it quite funny, although we're not sure every imminent mother would agree on the eve of a birth!
Teen in Wyoming discovers corpse while searching for Pokémon
No, seriously. Someone really did stumble across an actual dead person while staring into their phone in search of virtual Pokémon. Shayla Wiggins, a 19-year-old Pokémon Go player from Riverton, Wyoming discovered a corpse floating the the 195-mile-long Wind River. ""I was walking towards the bridge along the shore when I saw something in the water," Shayla told KTVQ. "I had to take a second look and I realized it was a body."
Wiggins noticed the unfortunate soul floating in river with only his back poking out of the water. Police haven't confirmed any more details, including which Pokémon Wiggins managed to capture while she was there. We wouldn't want to hazard a guess...
Australian police stations swamped by Poké faithful
Despite a warning displayed when you first launch the app, most players aren't really bothering to take in the world around them while they're staring into their smartphones in hopes of spying the tell-tale rustle of leaves that reveals a wild Pokémon. For the Northern Territory Police in Australia, warning users to look up and check the road in front of them before crossing (and avoid getting wiped out by a passing car - who's probably playing Pokémon Go as well) is just the start of their Poké problems.
According to the Aussie coppers, bold Pokémon Go players have been crowding outside local police stations in search of Sandshrews and more (the game uses Pokémon from the original Pokémon Red/Blue/Green games). Some have even been trying to get into the station - not to report a crime, but to flick a virtual ball at a cartoon rat while a cop considers making an arrest.
Criminals use PokéStops to rob unsuspecting players
Well, this was going to happen eventually - although we're a little shocked it took the criminal underbelly of society less than a week to find a way to use Pokémon Go to rob people. According to police reports, four ne'er do wells in O'Fallon, Missouri used lures (a special in-game item that attracts more Pokémon to PokéStops - think of them as landmarks around a given town or city).
The robbers used these beacons on PokéStops in secluded areas then proceeded to rob poor unsuspecting players at gunpoint. The four robbers were apprehended by police in the early hours of Sunday morning, but not before shaking down nine Pokémon Go players for all their real life loot.
Players frequenting strip clubs, graveyards and churches... for Pokémon
When Pokémon Go isn't attracting hundreds of players or more to Central Park in New York (apparently the huge park in the centre of the city is a haven for virtual beasts) and the Sydney Opera House in Oz, the Nintendo-developed app is sending players across the world to the oddest of places in search of new Pokémon. Since the game uses randomised encounters on a virtual map of your location, players have found themselves in everything from grave yards to strip clubs.
Nope, we're not even kidding - people really are finding themselves in the weirdest of places just so they can bag a wild Jigglypuff or Pikachu. It's also leading to its fair share of injuries - one man took one stop in the wrong direction while looking for Pokémon in the dark, fell down a ditch and broke his foot. We imagine a worse injury is only a matter of time...
Pokémon Go is a new gaming app from Nintendo that uses augmented reality to turn your smartphone into a Pokémon collecting simulator. It uses GPS to map your location and places items and Pokémon near popular landmarks and in random locations. It's already proved to be a mega hit in the US, with an official EU and UK release a few days away at most.

Kate Bush has hinted that she may perform live again – 32 years after her first and only tour.
The 'Wuthering Heights' singer last hit the road in 1979 – and has said she wants to make her return before she becomes "too ancient".
"Maybe I will do some shows some day. I'd like to think so before I get too ancient – turn up with me Zimmer frame," she told Mojo.
Bush continued: "I still don't give up hope completely that I'll be able to do some live work, but it's certainly not in the picture at the moment because I just don't quite know how that would work with how my life is now."
The singer is due to release her new album 'Director's Cut' on May 16.
Bush has re-recorded tracks from her 1989 album 'The Sensual World' and 1993's 'The Red Shoes' for the record.
A spokesperson for the singer said she is working on further new material, but no release plan has been announced.

From bubbly preschoolers to surly teenagers – we start with a beautiful location (or a gorgeous studio lighting set-up), find a point of common interest, and have an hour of fun! While taking photos, of course. We can give tips on how to pose like a supermodel, or just talk about Minecraft – as long as we can glean you kid's passion, we will take care of the technical details and show them in the best possible light! (pun intended…)
Our favourite and most popular genre! Kids love the outdoors!
They feel in their element and are naturally happy to run, jump and climb! On our part, we're happy to chase, catch and swing (all, while capturing the unbridled joy of existence that is a toddler!).
Alone or with siblings, parents and other relations – we will find the location most suitable to your child's interest and will freeze and immortalize their boundless energy!
Throughout the session, we will capture a mixture of posed and candid images, all effortlessly posed and perfectly composed. We use a large array of nature strips, parks, playgrounds and beaches in and around town, but are always open to new suggestions, if you happened to have them.
Also, especially in the case of younger children or those who do not cope well with the change in surroundings, often a back yard is a good option, too. Just let us visit you first, to establish suitability and the best time of day for the session.

I think about change as often as the next person. Change of scenery, change of pace, change of environment, and all that jazz. We're all ready for that next step, on that next level hustle, but seldom do we ever take that chance. All it takes is a little bit of courage to take that chance to make that change. Sounds easy right? But why are we so afraid of doing everything we set out to do? I find myself making up excuses about why I can't change, instead of just fucking changing. I can change right? I can do whatever, I set myself out to do. Because the world is my fucking oyster.
Of course I like the idea of change. This idea of change that films and coming of age stories tell you happen. But what about the rest of us that have responsibilities? Change can happen, after you pay off debts and start being positive. Change can happen with a change of attitude and believing in yourself. Because all it takes is a great attitude to turn everything around. Sometimes you're burned out on positivity that it feels better to bring back that good old haunting feeling. This dark cloud that follows you everywhere changing all these new beginnings right to that old familiar feeling. Even new experiences can burn you out. Even things you wanted to be better for you, put a damper on your expectations. The things we wished for ourselves have a funny way of not being what we want them to be. We take jobs to pay the bills and eventually those jobs become our life. We in turn start to hate these jobs because of the way they make us feel. I hated every single one of my jobs and the reason being I was afraid of change. Afraid of going out on a limb because that's where the fruit is.
You know you're burned out from office jobs when every job that requires an 8 to 5, you hate after a week. After 10 plus years of the same job, all programs start looking the same: Foresite, AS400, JD Edwards, etc. Each one is the efficient way to handle business. These programs are all "The way of the future", and every other similar saying. Basically they are all the same fucking program, but you are too polite to say otherwise. All the same boring ass programs that you've been programed to believe are "The way of the future". You start your morning going through the motions of work, when really you are miles away from your boring ass responsibilities. I can't even begin to tell you how many programs I've worked with that are considered to the new approach to everything. When in reality they waste more paper and do the same functions as all the other programs. What does it matter anyway, I am making money. I have a job and should be grateful for my chances. Its not that I am ungrateful, I am grateful. Its that knowingness in my gut that I should be doing something else. Something better than pushing paper and smiling, when I feel like screaming and lighting everything on fire. But I am a sucker in the belief that "Good things, come to those who wait", so waiting is what I do.
Thats where I have it wrong. This waiting for the good things to happen. Waiting on good things that everyone else snatches up, and I get upset about. Because the grass is always greener on the other side. Who ever said "Good things come to those who wait", was a sucker. A sucker in all the sense of the words. Sure good things come to those who wait, but to the people who actually go out and do shit, better amazing things happen too. I guess after everything I was just used to this fallback, that if everything went wrong I had my fallback job. I was good at listening to directions and having a follow through. I was good at doing my job and handling everyone else's responsibilities. I was good at taking the fall when everyone else took the praise. Thats what makes me such a great assistant, I was good at cleaning up the messes that nobody else wanted to do. Because waiting for things to happen was my escape, this belief that things were going to get better once people took a look at me.
The last job I had I just didn't have the passion for. Sure it's easy to fake passion, I was a master of it. I thrive on challenges and pushing myself, but this time I just couldn't do it anymore. I didn't care about a fallback. I didn't care about the outcomes of my mistakes. I didn't care if everything fell apart and I was the cause of it. I was miserable and burned out on my tired excuses of "Good things, happen to those who wait". You reach that point in your life where you have to ask yourself "What's more important, your pride or a paycheck?". Bills will eventually be paid. Debt continuously will always take control of your life but sometimes you have to do something great. When every time you look at the screen and you want something greater you do everything in your power to be great. Sometimes you are better than your job. Sometimes you are better than cleaning up other peoples mistakes. More importantly you're better than everyone's expectations of you and one day all that hustling pays off. Life its too great to be sitting in a cubicle from 8am to 5pm just waiting and wishing for things to happen. We are all going to struggle from time to time but in the end we come out victorious.
For every program I worked on there was always a command to change your options. The last job I worked at was "?M", to modify what you save on the screen. The reality was I saw it as "?M"= To change shit. Thats what I'm going to do, "?M" to change shit in my life. To be greater, to be better, and everything else will fall into place.
I'm about to see a million things
I thought I'd never see before and I
I'm about to do all of the things
I've dreamed of and
I don't even miss you at all

Missouri Supreme Court has ruled the Missouri Revised Statutes 589.426 applies equally to all registered sex offenders with the key being regardless of the date of their conviction.
Previously only sex offenders only convicted after August 28, 2008 when that statute was enacted had to abide by this law which is commonly referred to as the Halloween Law.
This week Sheriff Cox is mailing letters to each registered sex offender advising them of this change and placing everyone on notice the LCSO will be conducting compliance checks on Halloween.
We ask if you notice any violations to please report those to this office or your nearest law enforcement organization.
Thank you,
Steve Cox
Halloween, restrictions on conduct--violations, penalty.
589.426. 1. Any person required to register as a sexual offender under sections 589.400 to 589.425 shall be required on October thirty-first of each year to:

(3) Post a sign at his or her residence stating, "No candy or treats at this residence"; and
(4) Leave all outside residential lighting off during the evening hours after 5 p.m.
2. Any person required to register as a sexual offender under sections 589.400 to 589.425 who violates the provisions of subsection 1 of this section shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor.

Oh, again, this comes from the Etsy there's no place like here flickr group, this time from member GeorgiaPeachez (check out her blog here). This is such a ReadyMade-worth reuse I can't even stand it. Can you teach me how to make me something from my probably-dangerous 10-year old tiny white lights? I feel really guilty throwing them away, but I watch Hoarders too often to keep them.

Mayor Rawlings-Blake Just Doesn't Care
From the Baltidome inbox:
Two weeks ago, I sent Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake a letter, asking that she add provisions to the city's agreement with Baltimore Racing Development which would hold them fiscally accountable for the planting and maintenance of 139 trees.
What did I hear back from her office? Nothing.
We took the time to work with attorneys to fix the toothless agreement which the city had drafted – to add performance bonds which would ensure that BRD would fulfill its obligations.
But we heard nothing about whether the City would be following our recommendations – even though we drafted them in conjunction with the City's Office of Sustainability, which is also concerned with BRD financial's health and their ability to perform.
This Mayor sees everything politically. Can't communicate with a constituent – it might get used against us. Can't negotiate a contract that protects Baltimore taxpayers – a fatcat crony might get hurt.
Enough. I'm voting for Otis Rolley tomorrow; and you should consider voting for him too. But mostly, I'd ask you vote AGAINST Mayor Rawlings-Blake. She's an anachronism, and she's showing again and again that she's just not interested in open government, or the environment.
A car race, in the 21st century? Cutting down trees so folks can see a bunch of cars? Insanity. The Grand Prix brought some flash to Baltimore, but at what cost? Wouldn't it be better if we could come up with ideas together? Talk things through? Collaborate?
But Stephanie Rawlings-Blake just doesn't want your input.
Please share with others tomorrow by forwarding this email, and via Facebook and Twitter. Vote AGAINST the Mayor. We need new leadership that listens. I'll be updating you more on this after the election. In the meantime, I wanted everyone to know what I've learned, which is that the current administration cares more about itself than it does about you.

Are you interested in designing your own website, but you're confused where to begin? WordPress may be the perfect option for you. You won't have to learn a lot of odious code to create your website quickly and easily with WordPress. Continue to read to gain more knowledge about this tool.
Avoid designs that are commonplace. Though it is less time consuming, your site will blend in with other blogs. Creating a site that showcases the uniqueness of your business is critical.
WordPress makes it easy for users to incorporate video blogging into their site. Although you may have to put in a little more time, you will get rewarded for your effort in the end. A lot of Internet users respond well to visuals. Videos can teach people much better than words can.
Clean up any unnecessary comments and content on your website. That way, the site stays suitable for the interested folks who read it. An excellent plugin that can aid you in removing spam from your site on a daily basis is Akismet.
When you take time to adjust a WordPress blog, you may not realize that your changes weren't saved at all. That's not necessarily the case. Clear your cache to see if that fixes the problem. Just press and hold your "shift" key while refreshing your browser and your changes should appear.
You must specify if you want your post to appear in other than chronological order. You must alter the date if you wish to reorder the list. In order to do that, open one of your posts and you will be able to see the date at the top right hand corner. Click the date and change it. Save your post and its order will change.
Do not use something generic like "admin" when it comes to your username. You are risking bot attack if your username is something generic like administrator or admin. That's a security risk. Go to your "user" page and erase anything that has to do with usernames that contain "administrator" or "admin". Find creative user names that you can remember.
Never share your WordPress password. Additionally, don't download plugins from unknown sites and read reviews prior to installing anything. If your site is hacked or attacked with malware, you could lose the whole thing.
Use descriptions that are very targeted. These are a few of the things your readership will see first when using search engines. Thus, they are also the most critical. Scribe is a good kind of SEO software you can use to gain control over this. These editing tools allow you to increase the appeal of your site.
Make sure to always organize your media library. You might be tempted to directly upload to the library, but this can make things a mess. Create several folders and place each image in the appropriate one. You'll have a lot easier time finding images in the future that you hope to reuse.
Keep your plugins updated. You can provide your site with unique power using WordPress plugins. They will need to get updated though. If you fail to update your plugins, you may miss key upgrades and the plugin may even stop working completely.
Check that you are using the most up to date WordPress version on your site. There are security patches included in updates that will eliminate any vulnerabilities. Using an older version of WordPress opens up your site to malware attacks. Therefore, always install any updates that WordPress rolls out to ensure that your site is secure and tight.
Use a plugin to link your posts. This allows the reader to enjoy more content. This shows related posts on your website near the bottom of every post.
No one manually approves comment any longer. Rather, Akismet can do it on your behalf. You can receive an email each time someone leaves a comment, but it's more efficient to just forgo manual approvals. You won't save yourself time.
Is it hard to stick to a schedule when it comes to when you post on your site? You can write a blurb ahead of time and have it posted at the date and time that you select. When you click to start a new post, you should have the ability to schedule it some time in the future. This can help you get it taken care of.
Are you sick of WordPress clutter? Try turning off buttons you don't use. To do this, go to the top of WordPress's window and go to "screen options". You will see a menu to click that gives you the ability to turn off/on what you need and don't need.
Certain hosts allow you to install WordPress quickly and easily with a single click. This saves you the frustration of creating a separate database yourself. Pushing just one button will allow you to get both your domain and database set up.
Try using all kinds of authoring tools for blogs. Are you not fond of the dashboard on WordPress? Blog authoring programs, such as Windows Live Writer, can be of help. A number of tools works well in conjunction with WordPress while providing increased efficiency. Try using a couple of them and find one you like.
It may be worth your while to highlight comments that you make in a blog post. People often ask questions or express concerns in comment sections. Responding to one of these questions can easily be overlooked, swallowed up in a sea of comments. Highlight the author's comments as a different color. This way, visitors won't have a hard time finding them.
Keep in mind that you need not to everything for your blog on your own. If possible, consider doing all you can to spread out the work.
Prior to thinking about what you want your WordPress site to look like, take the time to find help resources. For instance, look to WordPress forums, blogs and groups online as a means to get the advice you need. Regardless of whether your issue is with a theme or plugin, you'll find experts available to answer your questions.
Both businesses and individuals use WordPress. It's feature-heavy which makes it user-friendly, but it also has the power that professionals want. The more you learn about WordPress, the better your site will become.

MyGov, an entity utilized for overseeing different Australian taxpayer driven organizations is requesting that clients turn off their two step authentication while voyaging abroad. Entrance's executive has been encouraging this move to the clients on twitter.
At the point when on an excursion outside Australia, clients are required to change their SIM to a privately acknowledged SIM card and amid this time on the off chance that they need to get to entryways like MyGov they will need to swap their SIM cards on their telephones so as to keep away from drawbacks the Australian government is encouraging clients to switch off 2-step verification check for them.
The thought behind 2-step verification is to give an extra layer of security to the record on the off chance that a spammer finds the username and secret word of a record; he will need to experience an extra layer of security by entering a security code that might be accessible on user's telephone connected with the record.
Be that as it may, the entryway just gives data on insurance and tax related issues. In this way, it's difficult to trust why anybody would require these administrations amid occasion or even why anybody would consider opening the entry while in a remote nation.
This is truly another example on how softly online security has been taken and it's not a private division business that is opening entryways for hacker, it is the administration itself which is welcoming programmers to come in.

Modular gives you the ultimate flexibility in how you integrate a matrix into the home. HDMI or HDBaseT inputs and outputs, 70m or 100m transmission distances, you decide and ultimately avoid unnecessary cost in your deployment
What you see is what you control, instead of complex remote controls, use your original TV remote
4 in, 4 out, that's 16 possible combinations of your video. Historically matrixes have offered remotes with 8 or 16 buttons, requiring multiple presses to get video to the TV your watching. We thought this was an odd solution, given you already known which room you are in, so should the matrix! Our designers did away with this old concept and instead created Contextual IR, this reduces the number of buttons to just 4, one for each possible input. Whatever room your in, select 1, 2, 3, 4 and watch that source instantly.
Small and lightweight, can be mounted into almost any rack type. Matching your existing equipment so it seamlessly blends in.
It's important that you get video all the time, to help us do that every neo professional matrix keeps in contact with our cloud management service. You can tell if this is working with the Monitored LED on the front of the matrix. If you get stuck, your installer or yourself can log into our cloud portal and see helpful diagnosis information (if you let them), fix problems remotely or tell you where you may have gone wrong in the installation. All of this is free of charge. If neo has a problem, we get alerted too and we can get in contact to arrange a hardware replacement or give you a step by step guide to get you up and running again.
In the UK, Sky (one of the main satellite TV providers) recently added CEC support, the way they did it was pretty interesting (simply press the "Sky" button and your TV turned on and so did the Sky+ HD box) and it gave us an idea, we could do this with neo. With Instant On, press the Sky button in any room and we will detect this, turn the TV on and switch the video path to the Sky+ HD box.
But we go one step further, if you have more than one Sky+ HD box connected to neo then we will intelligently detect which Sky+ HD box is not in use and route this to your TV
Don't worry if you are not in the UK, Instant On can be customised for just about any collection of source devices
We want to give you the best experience possible, to do this, we think it's important you can access neo from any device, be it mobile, tablet or desktop PC and in any browser. We've done this with our responsive design, so it works with you and not the other way round. Our web interface is built directly on top of our REST/API, this means that whatever you can do on your phone, you can get your control system to do also and vice versa. There are no hidden tricks or special codes that require a magic moon dance to work. All of our documentation is free and available on our monitoring site.
