Tips on making your home safer this Christmas
With the festive season finally upon us, there are still plenty of things to do to guarantee you have the perfect Christmas. Planning visits to relatives is a great way to make time for your loved ones and ensure you celebrate the festivities well. However, leaving your home for a few days can leave you worried about the safety of your property and your personal belongings.
Burglars know that houses are well stocked full of presents and goodies, and if given an opportunity, won't hesitate. Don't give thieves access to your home; lock your doors and windows, hide your presents and lower the risk of your Christmas being ruined. Take a look at our simple tips to make your home more secure and protect your property from thieves.
Protect your home
Hide your presents in a safe place
After you've wrapped all your presents, it's tempting to put them under the Christmas tree to make the room feel extra festive. However, leaving presents around the house in full sight will tempt thieves. Why not hide them away in a safe place to reduce the risk of a break in? Make sure your curtains and blinds are shut at night and try putting your presents out on Christmas Eve or even early Christmas morning. Besides, if you have a young family, its more exciting for them to see lots of presents appear on the big day!
Don't advertise Christmas presents
Keep your windows and doors securely locked
It's easy to forget to shut windows and doors; however leaving a window open gives burglars easy access to your home. Make sure all windows on the lower levels of your home are securely locked before you leave and especially if you are away for a few days. Why not think about replacing old and outdated locks that can easily be broken by an intruder. Fix a chain to your front door so that if you are not expecting a visitor and the doorbell goes, you can still protect yourself and your home.
Keep burglars away
Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your home
If you are leaving home for a few days to visit family, why not ask a trusted neighbour or friend to keep an eye on your house. If you are taking your car with you, offer your drive to your neighbours to park on; they will probably be grateful for the extra space and it looks like someone is coming and going from your house. You could even ask them to pull the curtains a few times to create some movement to make your house look lived in.
Also, you may want to think about putting a time switch on your lights and radios. With a timer, you can programme when your lights will come on and turn off. Therefore, it looks like you are home when you are not. This is a great way to put off potential burglars.
Don't advertise your home to burglars
Visible burglar alarms can be a deterrent to thieves
If you are planning on installing a burglar alarm, you should think about putting it in an obvious visible place on the front of the house. Burglars are more likely to be put off if they can see an alarm as they are more aware of the risk of getting caught.
Install burglar alarms
Don't just make your home safe from burglars; make it safe for your family
It is likely that you will have visitors over the festive period and some of them might have small children. As a result, it is important that you childproof your home to reduce the risk of accidents to the younger members of your family.
If there is a risk that the Christmas tree might tip over and hurt someone, secure it to the wall or put a safety gate up. If you are going to light candles keep them well out of reach and remember to blow them out before you go to sleep.
Watch out for packaging. Your daughter might be really thrilled with her new doll, but those twist ties that strapped it to its box are a choking hazard. Remember to tidy any wrapping paper and packaging away.
Remove all hazards
Have a wonderful safe Christmas and don't advertise your house to thieves!

Remove WindowsActivationError virus (Virus Removal Guide)
Important information about the WindowsActivationError notifications:
Questions about WindowsActivationError virus
If your computer system encounters some serious error, do not panic just yet, because there might be that it is the WindowsActivationError virus that you are dealing with. This error does not necessarily suggest that your computer is in actual danger. In fact, the only danger that your system may be exposed to is a malicious program which generates these notifications. The computer security specialists warn that WindowsActivationError is malware, created by the so-called Tech Support scammers to extort money from the victims. To be more precise, it is a Windows Shell type of hijacker that installs on the system and starts generating fake notifications warning the user about system errors. You should never jump the conclusions without having checked the legitimacy of the fact. Try closing the window and scan your system with a reputable antivirus tool, such as Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego to make sure the notifications you are receiving are not caused by a malware secretly running on your PC. If the scan reveals that your system is really infected, remove WindowsActivationError virus from your computer without a delay.
The virus notifications usually appear on the lock screen, to make a more convincing impression of a system error. The content itself tries to trick the victims into thinking that their Windows license has expired. To activate the operating system again, the user has to contact a remote technician who will supposedly fix the problem. Unfortunately, such claims are deceptive because when you call the indicated number, there will be no remote technician ready to help you restore your system, but simply a salesperson, waiting to sell you some completely unnecessary technical support services or products. We do not recommend purchasing anything from these scammers because their products are usually either fake or completely non-existent. Needless to say, you should take care of the WindowsActivationError removal as soon as you can.
How could this malware end up on my computer?
Usually, potentially unwanted programs like WindowsActivationError infect computers through fake pop-up ads, corrupted software updates or download buttons, which are often displayed on obscure and unreliable websites. Also, you can get infected with this virus if you are downloading freeware and shareware from the Internet or through peer-to-peer networks. However, you can as well protect yourself from viruses like these simply by being more security-cautious while browsing online and equipping your system with a couple of powerful virus-fighting utilities.
Suggestions on the WindowsActivationError removal:
If you want to get rid of the fake WindowsActivationErrors, you should use a reliable antivirus software like Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego for this job. Just run a full system scan with it and the tool will automatically remove any junk files and other infections from your computer. All that you have to be aware of is that the antivirus utility must be updated to its latest version to detect and remove WindowsActivationErrors effectively. Some more experienced users may also find it more convenient to remove the virus manually. If you choose this approach, you should end the virus processes on the Task Manager, remove it from the program's list and delete its entries from the registry. Be careful not to skip any of the virus components!

Passengers waiting for a train in Washington DC were startled when a deer wandered down onto the tracks early Tuesday morning. WMATA released the video in a tweet, joking that the deer just wanted to "get aboard the @Capitals train" and hitch a ride to the team's Stanely Cup victory parade.
Seems like *everyone* wants to get aboard the @Capitals train this morning! (Crystal City Station, 8:30 a.m. today -- this little guy somehow wandered into the tunnel & ended up at the station. Safely exited through the tunnel back toward DCA.) #OHDEER #ALLCAPS #WMATA #StanleyCup
In the video, taken from surveillance cameras at the Crystal City Station, the deer can be seen running on the tracks as a train slowly pulls into the station. One man was so busy looking down at his phone that he didn't notice as the animal jumped onto the platform. When he finally looks up to check on the approaching train, he noticed the deer and slowly backs away as it bolts across the tracks.
Another video shows the deer running in front of a woman who is putting on makeup. As it nears her she appears startled and looks confused as the deer continues to explore the station.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel told the Washington Post that the deer was unharmed and exited the station through a tunnel. He explained the deer likely wandered in from a nearby wooded area.

LINCOLN — The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Nebraska Public Power District must open its books and disclose specific cost information, including the expense of generating electricity from its individual power plants . . . A private company that seeks to compete with NPPD, Lincoln-based energy firm Aksamit Resource Management, had filed a lawsuit seeking the information from the public power firm. Aksamit argued that the information was public and that it would help the firm and Nebraska ratepayers better understand why NPPD's costs were rising. Without the detailed information, the firm argued, the public could not determine why NPPD's costs had risen. Read more here.

- In search of cleaner energy, some Nebraska cities turn away from utility, by Karen Uhlenhuth, Midwest Energy News, March 6, 2017. At least 10 municipal utilities in Nebraska have chosen to stop or cut back on buying their power from the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), in search of lower prices and greater access to renewable energy.
- In this article, Uhlenhuth explores the question of whether Nebraska might get more renewable energy if retail competition were available:
Clean energy advocates skeptical, cautious about retail choice bills in Nebraska and Kansas
Midwest Energy News, February 28, 2017
Despite the widespread outcry against the current attempt to bring retail competition to Nebraska, [Michael Matherson, a partner and spokesman for Aksamit] observed that Nebraska's three major public power districts voluntarily entered into a competitive marketplace when they chose to begin buying and selling power through the Southwest Power Pool in 2009. Nebraska's public power districts lost more of their monopoly power a year ago when the legislature passed a law terminating the districts' prerogative to take control of any renewable-energy source developed by a private entity.

As far as incredible shopping venues go, the Folding Umbrella Market in Thailand might just be the most dangerous in the world.
At the very least, it's definitely one of the most fascinating.
The Maeklong Railway runs for nearly 67km between Wongwian Yaim, Bangkok and Samut Songkhram in central Thailand. The Maeklong Railway Station is located at the Samut Songkhram province end, the popular travel attraction is set up on both sides of a 100-meter stretch of train track.
Market vendors have devised a long row of umbrellas and awnings, which extend right over the tracks and shelter them from the heat and other elements and are able to be rescinded on call.
Shoppers and tourists saunter through the markets, along the train tracks, many taking photos or jostling for a position in anticipation of the coming scene.
Then, the loud horn of a train punctuates the air, alerting you to step back and watch the awe-inspiring display comes to life.
The vendors quickly fold up their awnings, some scooping up the goods touching the track rails. Everyone evacuates the line as the train slides through, with seemingly centimeters to spare.
Then, once the train has safely passed, everything is unfolded and it's business as usual.

Abstract: A parent describes her experience at the DeMorsier Syndrome/Optic Nerve Hypoplasia/Septo Optic Dysplasia Conference.
Keywords: Family, blind, deafblind, national conference, DeMorsier syndrome, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia/ONH, Septo Optic Dysplasia/SOD
My name is Jeanette, and we have a son who will be nine years old in October 2004. James has DeMorsier Syndrome/ONH/SOD. DeMorsier is the name of the physician who first diagnosed children with ONH (Optic Nerve Hypoplasia) and SOD (Septo-optic Dysplasia). ONH/SOD have similar traits (and I am not here to argue the difference), but they include underdeveloped optic nerves, midline abnormalities and underdeveloped pituitary glands.
I recently went to a Family Focus conference in Kansas City, Missouri. Yes, it's a little further from home than I usually travel, but it was well worth the trip. This is a national conference focused on providing information about ONH/SOD and other related conditions. I wanted to let everyone know what a wonderful conference this was.
Dr. Mark Borchert who spoke on ONH was very informative, and I felt that I got a lot of information from him. He went into some detail on what studies have shown to cause this disorder. He also spoke of the different medical traits that can occur with children having ONH/SOD. Dr. Jill Jacobson spoke on SOD. She was a good speaker with quite a bit of information, but I must say, I didn't agree with everything that she had to say.
Friday evening we took a charter bus to a local church where we had a barbecue dinner and were privileged to hear Kodi Lee sing. Kodi Lee is an amazing young man who not only has ONH but is autistic as well. He does not communicate well verbally, but he can sing and play piano. It was quite amazing to see and hear him. Kodi listens to the song or music and in a very short time can play and sing the song back. He really got the crowd rocking with "Great Balls of Fire" and other songs.
On Saturday morning a behavior analyst, Dr. Campbell Thompson, discussed behavioral traits and medical problems some of these children can have. He was a very entertaining speaker. Last, but certainly not least, was Craig Reeves, an attorney in both Kansas and Missouri, who spoke about special needs trusts. Mr. Reeves discussed different options for providing for our children that would not cause them to lose the benefits they may be receiving now or in the future. I learned so much from all of the speakers. Each provided me with information that previously I had not considered relevant to my child.
The Family Focus families are a wonderful bunch of people who were so friendly. They had a silent auction to raise money to help defer the cost of the conference to keep the cost down for the families wishing to get a better understanding of ONH/SOD. We had a good time outbidding each other. The only thing that I wish could have been different was to have brought my child with me. Family Focus provided childcare, keeping the children well entertained. My son stayed with his grandparents and had a wonderful time being "spoilt" but he would have had such a good time with the other children and swimming in the indoor pool.
Next year's conference has not been finalized but it is to be held in New Mexico. Further information on ONH/SOD is available by going to www.focusfamilies.org.

When we ask to the person who creates picture about their hobby, probably the answer is same as they doing. This is mainly because, for most of the people, painting makes their hobby and this beneficial for the person to spend their leisure time in useful way. While talking about this, one should think about main reason of choosing painting as their hobby. Possibly, the answer from their side is that this gives pleasure. Being able to do, what one needs to provide great satisfaction.
After proper research from social, psychological, and on medical point of view, they predicted that there are large numbers of benefits for mental, physical as well as for spiritual body. This is not only beneficial for children, but also for adults. Let us discuss about some benefits of acquiring painting as their hobby.
Originally, art makes us more human, this also helps people to communicate in different way. One who starts painting can learn about this unique language than your personal language. This is the great benefit for all people and this way really helps people who have condition with lack of communication of expressing themselves like autism, shyness, and some other disabilities.
When we look deeply into this, painting is the individual activity and this can done even in classroom or in the workshop. Stimulus of the creative mind allows students to isolate positively from reality that actually provides mental rest, which lowers stress and thus this generates relaxation. This is significant for the people with nervousness or in aggression condition.
As we are living in the non-competitive and relaxed environment, this enables most of the students to come closer to some great achievements. This will greatly strengthens self-esteem as well as individuality. Especially, this is significant for the people with traumatic, codependency, and elderly people who really want some activities, which can strengthen the autonomy.
Learning to hold and to handle the brush or pencil, this will regulate your hand movements and thus this stimulates the brain connection, by doing this, the skill is developed. When we look among elderly people, this helps them in straightening their motor skills. In addition to this, drawing and painting stimulate left and the right brain hemispheres. While considering the benefits, painting offers in large number. so, try to learn painting and enhance your creative ideas by doing so.

Swibeco continues to innovate by allowing you to transfer the value of your Swipoints directly on your account 3rd pillar. Assure(insure) your future while saving(sparing) until 2'000 CHF of tax a year!
Swibeco continues to innovate by allowing you to transfer the value of your Swipoints directly on your account 3rd pillar. Assure(insure) your future while saving(sparing) until 2'000 CHF of tax a year!
Pension plans: Besides the state AHV (1st pillar) and occupational pensions (2nd pillar) you can also save for your retirement by contributing to a private pension plan (3rd pillar).
S'agissant de la prévoyance vieillesse privée, on distingue entre le pilier 3a et le pilier 3b:
pilier 3a – prévoyance individuelle liée ouverte aux salariés comme aux travailleurs indépendants:
Les versements sont déductibles du revenu imposable dans la limite d'un plafond. Il s'agit d'une forme de prévoyance liée, ce qui signifie que l'avoir n'est disponible qu'à certaines conditions.
pilier 3b – prévoyance individuelle libre (ou « non liée ») ouverte à tous:
Les versements ne sont pas plafonnés. Mais le pilier 3b présente moins d'avantages fiscaux que le pilier 3a.
Anyone earning an income can pay a set amount into the 3a pillar pension plan with their bank or insurance company. This amount can be deducted from your taxable income in your tax return. A distinction is made between:
people without an occupational pension plan (generally self-employed), who can pay in a higher amount or
people already paying into an occupational pension plan (generally employed).
The maximum amount that can be paid in is set each year by the Federal Social Insurance Office and published on its website. In 2019 employed persons with an occupational pension plan can pay a maximum of CHF 6'826 into the 3a pillar. Self-employed persons without an occupational pension plan can pay in up to 20 % of their annual earned income, but a maximum of CHF 34'126.
The annual contribution must be booked into the relevant pension account by the end of the year in question. Be sure to take account of the holidays and make the payment in good time. Detailed information can be obtained from your pension fund or your bank/post office).
Pensioners who continue to work can still pay into a pension plan up to five years after reaching the official retirement age.
You can still pay in the maximum deductible amount even if you are unable to work for a time (e.g. due to military service, unemployment etc.).
You do not have to pay wealth tax on your pension plan savings. Nor do you have to pay income tax or withholding tax on interest and capital gains.
You can only withdraw money from a 3a pillar pension plan before reaching retirement age if you want to use it to buy or build a residential property, go abroad to live permanently, or set up your own business.
You can also withdraw your savings if you are unable to work and you draw full invalidity benefit.
You can withdraw money from your pension fund up to five years before the official retirement age, but the full amount must be withdrawn by this time. If you continue in employment, you must withdraw the full amount up to five years after the official retirement age. Contact your third pillar scheme for the amount of money saved and the terms of withdrawal.
There are no special conditions regarding 3b pillar private pension funds.
If you withdraw funds from a 3rd pillar pension plan before you reach the official retirement age, these will be taxed at a much lower rate and separately from other income. There is a one-off tax which corresponds to the amount that you would pay in one year on this income, however, it is calculated at a reduced rate..

I know this is a bleak way to look at it, but here's the truth: Just because the clock is going to strike midnight and that calendar is going to flip to January 1, 2017, it doesn't mean bad shit is going to stop happening. This year sucked—it sucked bad. This was the year democracy broke, in which hatred and fear somehow claimed victory, and one that took some of our most beloved figures—Bowie, and Prince, and Cohen. Things aren't just going to suddenly get better because we exchange a six for a seven.
So instead of waiting for 2017 to come along and change everything, we can use this time to look back and take stock of 2016 to the tune of R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World."

The Potomac Electric Power Company announced Tuesday they'll be slashing electric bills for nearly 300,000 D.C. residents thanks to all the money they're saving from the GOP tax bill.
"Pepco today announced they will file with the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia in early February, outlining plans to provide annual tax savings to more than 296,000 electric customers in the District of Columbia. If approved, Pepco would plan to begin providing a credit lowering customer bills starting in the first quarter of 2018.
The tax savings are the result of federal tax reductions under the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law on Dec. 22, 2017, and became effective on Jan. 1, 2018. The decrease in the Corporate Tax Rate from 35 percent to 21 percent reduces the amount of federal income tax Pepco will have to pay."

English Language Advisory Committee
Each California public school from Kindergarten through grade 12, with 21 or more English learners must form a functional English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). NASA's English Learner Advisory Committee is a group of parents of English learners, and school staff that advise Dr. Todd, our school principal, and school staff on programs and services for our English learners. ELAC also offers suggestions to our School Site Council (S.S.C.) on the development of the Single School Plan for Student Achievement.

text: I've been very happy with Viasat Internet service and the contact people when I need to speak to someone is super friendly and know what they are talking about! I've used their service now for over 2 years and had them twice before when they were Wild Blue and Exede but now Viasat. I have added a router to my modem and the speeds are awesome and of course remember to locate the router/modem in center of where ever you use their internet. I'm a happy internet customer. Thank you Wild Blue, Excede, Viasat for making living in the country a lot better, keeping in touch with the outside world!!!

Every so often it enters the headlines for one alarming reason or another - links with al-Qaeda, kidnapped Westerners, explosive population growth - then sinks into obscurity again. But, as Victoria Clark argues in this riveting book, we ignore Yemen at our peril. The poorest state in the Arab world, it is still dominated by its tribal makeup and has become a perfect breeding ground for insurgent and terrorist movements. B/w-photographs.

Peter Pan and Dorothy's Escapades at the Renaissance Fairs!
Last Updated 2008
Click here for Ren fair photos prior to 2008
Page best viewed with 1024 x 768 resolution or better
Well it's seems certain that we'll always be attending Renaissance Fairs. For several years in a row I was posting photos here, so I hope you'll look at those too. But like many things on this website, things eventually expand beyond what a single page ought to hold. And with Dorothy and me being inseparable pixies, it's time to start fresh! The fair in Tampa is just minutes away from where we live and usually goes on for 8 weeks in a row, so unless the weather is terrible its pretty unusual for us NOT to be there. Plus, in addition to Tampa, we also attended the Renaissance Pleasure Fair in Irwindale California this year, and we hope to be able to attend others too!
I know I really should use more slide shows instead of hand arranging photos like this, as I did that in one of my Labyrinth pages. It certainly would be able to share more photos faster, and time for website updates is often a real challenge lately. But it's still nice to give the personal touch of cropping and arranging selected photos on a plain web page. Enjoy!
For the Tampa section, you'll notice groupings of different outfits
which often include themes from whatever Holiday is nearest to that weekend
Ah The Ren Fair! Medieval Games, Jousting and all manner of Royalty Abound
Now for those that havn't been, the Ren Fair Village in Tampa is called FiddleWorth, which was formerly transplanted from another village called Puddleton (Famous for its many puddles, no doubt) in a nether region of Largo.
Well Royalty there may be, but certainly these fairs are also a safe haven for fairies! And fairies of all sizes and ages we should add! Not that fairies actually age, mind you, but they do come in a sufficient number of sizes to give that impression. Here, some of the smaller fairies reluctantly led some of us taller ones, to the rest of the wee folk!
Here, below, are some of these smaller fairies we found flittering about the realm. As is often the case on this website, we have to give the usual 'Cuteness Overload' warning, as much of the content is often sweet enough to cause cavities in those with sensitive teeth.
This was still early in the Spring, and cool enough for Velvet. These outfits have just a bit of a pirate look to them, if not in a formidable cut-throat pirate sense, at least a fashionable pirate look sufficient to be a welcome sight at the Pirates Pub!. And we should mention on that note that there was a bit of crisis this year with regard to the supply of 'Mead'. Mead is a wonderful 'honey wine' beverage which has become a tradition for us at Ren Fairs, and the best brand by far (in the opinion of us humble pixies) is Chaucer's. This year, well it was not impossible, but lets say it took quite a bit of scuttlebutt to obtain any. But 'obtain' we did, and in the end all was well! That's the Pirate's Pub in the bottom left photo, and on the bottom right, Katy and a friend stopped us for a photo.
Purple is becoming almost more of a favorite than green, and we have found ourselves experimenting with several different variations. Lavender is, of course, very complementary.
|Here's a few more, with both of us in the darker Purple Velvet. Mine is a kind of a Space-Fairy outfit, and Tink also has a bit of a space fairy dress, which you'll see on another page soon!
Here's a few more photo stops. That's our friend Wilma on the left. My apologies to the lady above and especially the gent on the right, who told me his name at least twice and yet I've forgotten. Please remind me and I'll update the page!
Of course, worriers and knights are needed to keep the realm safe for fairies, and protect against attack by vicious goblins and trolls.
Here below and to the left, a newly trained swordsman is knighted, and will soon take his place among the King's army.
Here to the right, is Loony Lucy, a member of a well known troupe of musicians in this realm called Empty Hats. I dare say that she could aid the King's army is staving away some of those trolls and goblins, if only by way of scaring them half to death! But don't let her appearance fool you, as she is quite the musician.
Here we're brown pixies, or perhaps just 'brownies'. Tink's wings are really something special though you can't see them well, as they are truly fitting of a nature spirit fairy. And here, to the left, we had the honor of the queen's permission on this day, to capture a photo with her highness in our 'magic box' !
|And of course on the weekend of Easter celebrations, it's always fitting to be bunnies for a change instead of fairies. One of the fun things about the whole winter to spring transition is all the Holidays that come with their own special dress-up themes. And many people at the fair do get into that seasonal fantasy spirit. I'm sorry I didn't get more shots of this as it's really a cute combination, and it always causes ear to ear smiles. That's also an advantage at the many 'pub's at the fair. If you make everyone jolly, there's always the chance that a good natured soul or two will 'buy the bunnies a beer'! (Or a Mead!). But anyway, if any of those of you who took photos of us at the fair have any more shots, not only of us but of the other many 'wabbits' that attended, please email them to me! There actually were goodly lot of bunnies at the fair this year, and I wish I could show you all of them.
|Oops... and while we're on the subject of theme Holidays, I just realized I put Easter outfits ahead of St. Patrick's day! Well come to think of it, Easter was so early in 2008 that I'm not too far off, and of course we don't need St. Patrick's day to be green pixies! But still, the shamrocks in these photos at the 'Seahorse Pub' at the fair, are a dead giveaway of what this weekend's theme was about!
I should point out here that aside from the usual imbibments that take place on St. Patrick's day, there is a reason why we seem to be looking everywhere but the camera! It was a case of multiple people taking photos of us at the same time, without anyone waiting to see which way we were looking.
|Speaking of looking elsewhere from the camera, here's a silly one that takes the cake...
And a few more photo shoots with fans...
Here are just a few miscellaneous shots, with minor outfit variations. In the far right, Tink is dancing to the music of Cantiga. (see photo to the left). Cantiga is one of the most wonderful Renaissance music band I've ever heard! You'll hear some of thir playing in the Video clip below. These are musicians trained in both classical and jazz, and they have the most amazing way of taking a song from the Baroque period, kicking it up to being very danceable, and then improvising to it. If you buy no other CD of Renaissance music, check this group's website, and get 'Martha's Dragon!'

Dear Kelly Slater
I heard about your injury and can relate to having to sit out of the water, watching, and wondering.
6 months of recovery is an eternity, one that I can personally relate to. November 2015 I had knee surgery, which was quickly followed by surgery to repair a tendon on my foot. After almost 9 months out of the water, things were looking up and I was back surfing again. Out of nowhere two tendons in my foot spontaneously ruptured and I needed to have a third surgery so that I could maintain my active lifestyle.
It was a heavy blow. The doctors felt it too; you know things are bad when the only thing they can say is that you did a number on your foot or this is one of the worst injuries I've seen.
Friends and family tried to be supportive, but I was in a dark place. I did not want people to tell me things happen for a reason, I wanted people to acknowledge how much this sucks and tell me just how crappy the situation was. It was a dark time, some days I wondered if my foot would ever heal, so thinking about surfing was the furthest thing from my mind.
Now I am still in the tunnel, but I'm to the point where I can see the light on the other side. So until you get there, you injury sucks, what a heavy blow.
Heal well, heal correctly.

Luis on the mark in Reds win
Luis Suarez clinched the points as Liverpool returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over QPR.
The striker headed his eighth goal of the campaign during a game which the home side dominated.
The A-team theme blared before kick-off and the plan eventually came together for Kenny Dalglish and co despite a wasteful first half.
For his part, skipper Pepe Reina was a virtual spectator.
Dalglish switched Jordan Henderson to a central position in the absence of the suspended Jay Spearing and injured Lucas Leiva.
The Reds applied the early pressure, winning three corners inside the first three minutes.
The first opening arrived on 10 minutes, Stewart Downing crossing from the right towards an unmarked Suarez. The Uruguayan's limp header did not trouble the goalkeeper.
Shortly after that Suarez and Dirk Kuyt exchanged possession in the box before the former daggered a shot within inches from a ludicrous angle.
Soon it would be a hat-trick of chances gone when Maxi rolled the ball into Suarez's path and watched his fellow South American skew against the Anfield Road hoardings.
Some of Liverpool's football was scrumptious, but the scoreline remained blank.
Click below to watch the best of the action in 40 minutes
The story did not alter when Suarez wriggled one way and another to find space in the danger zone before his teasing cross through the six-yard box was allowed to roll to safety.
Next up Maxi, who, having been played clear by Kuyt, had only Cerny to beat. The Argentine aimed for the bottom corner but the goalkeeper dived low to bat away his effort.
It was 41 minutes before the visitors troubled Liverpool's goal - and even then Shaun Wright-Phillips's speculative kick ballooned into the Kop.
Straight away Liverpool probed once more at the other end, Downing manipulating himself into space and playing Suarez into a goalscoring position. The No.7 went to dink the advancing Cerny but the Czech stopper was smart to it.
Downing powered the last chance of the half into the goalkeeper's arms and Liverpool exited for the dressing room knowing they would have to be more lethal in front of goal if they were to avoid completing a hat-trick of home draws against promoted teams.
Their response was almost immediate after the restart.
Two minutes is all it took for Charlie Adam to centre towards Suarez, who was again left unoccupied by the QPR backline. On this occasion he made no mistake with a decisive header at the Kop end.
Kuyt dragged wide and had a bouncing volley smothered, Maxi was thwarted by an awesome reflex save. Surely the second was on its way.
Anfield delighted as Suarez and Maxi played a one-two-three-four and the latter was away, but his shot could not navigate Cerny.
Click below to watch Kenny's verdict on our 1-0 win
QPR offered almost nothing - the almost because Jay Bothroyd did muster a stab wide from a free-kick as the game entered its final quarter.
Wright-Phillips deflected a Bellamy cross onto the bar with seconds to go but in the end one was enough for Dalglish's men, who now head into the Christmas fixtures with the top four in their sights.

The most important thing is you! THANK YOU for your continued interest and support! I couldn't have done this without you. -Bob
Early bird pricing will launch 17th of April! After the sale of first 15 sites the prices will increase. The benefits will be the same, land and water security, just the price will increase. Lock in your savings today! Contact us to get on the top of the list and be amongst the first to chose your home site.

Do you have WiFi?
12th July 2012
Shropshire Tourism is now able to add a WiFi symbol to your web entry on www.shropshiretourism.co.uk and other district sites too. So, if you have this facility please email Emily at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can make sure your entry is up to date. Thank you.
Are you up to speed on the legal requirements of providing guests with WiFi? If not, read on...
Following recent changes in legislation including the Digital Economy Bill, providers of WiFi for public use are now required to keep a record of such usage and retain that information for at least 12 months.
This could be potentially onerous and fraught with issues! Too much information could find you in conflict with the Data Protection Act and infringing privacy laws. Too little and you may not comply with the latest requirements.
Based on our understanding of the legislation we advise all WiFi providers to ensure that:
- Access to WiFi is password controlled and that guests are allocated a unique password to access this service.
- Passwords should be changed regularly (and not be your own password)
- This information should be recorded alongside the guest's name and dates of their stay.
- You should ensure that your WiFi system has necessary controls to prevent illegal downloading and file sharing. We recommend that you discuss this with your WiFi provider.
For more information about providing WiFi you may also want to read the following advice from Accommodation Know How. Click here.

Tomorrow's full moon is a potent opportunity to own it all. It calls us to embrace our full self. No shying away from the uncomfortable, the less socially acceptable. For the planetary dance around this full moon, check out the post from Chani Nicholas linked in the image at left.
We rise again, after swimming in the depths of those things hidden, taking a gasp of air and realizing that peace and positive forward motion are only easy when we are also skilled at breathing easy when we visit our shadows.
Own it all
Take some time this weekend to honor all aspects of your being. Honor when the dark comes up just as much as you would grasp for the light. Trust that dwelling in the duality gives you more effective fuel for living authentically.
For me, this means owning that I'm being pulled ever more swiftly forward in my work as a healer, and I often get fearful and tend to ride with one foot on the brake a little bit (well, depending on the day, maybe a lot).
It means celebrating that I'm striving always to be a more conscious parent and that I can often be a mother with fascist tendencies.
To own it all, I must embrace that I can be overcome to the point of tears by something as simple as cloud formations and in the same day have my depressive and anxious tendencies render me immobile, convinced that my life is going to shit in varying degrees.
Wisdom for where you are
Acceptance (be very clear, my dear, I did not say resignation) means you take what's offered and skillfully use it to your advantage. You trust that the shadow parts of your nature have something to teach you, not by mashing them into something that looks glamorous, but experiencing them just as they come, with their inherent beauty.
At times this comes easily and other times you know you'd like to be in a different place, but aren't sure how to get there. If swimming with your deepness in the shadows sounds compelling, but maybe a bit baffling or scary, then it is the time to seek guidance and support.
If now is the time for you, get in touch. My favorite thing is being the gentle hand at your back while you turn ever more fully toward your wholeness.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'HTC Droid Eris' started by OfTheDamned, Nov 5, 2009.
I find the Sense UI to be absolutely amazing. Its gorgeous and extremely usable/functional. I'm absolutely in love with the Droid and if it weren't for the Sense UI I wouldn't even consider the Eris. However with the talks of Sense moving to 2.0 I am seriously considering the Eris. Thats how much I love that UI! :biggrin:
Wow, that looks fantastic.. Good Find!
skinning and themes
hey just throwing it out there i had the HTC Touch Pro 2 and HTC Imagio prior to the moto droid and finally going to the eris for the sense ui..... when i had the tp2 it had touch flo 3d which is similar to sense ui and and the Imagio has the windows version of sense ui while still keeping the lower taskbar of the Touch Flo... anyway i have been looking for sense ui themes everywhere and all i keep coming up with is sense ui on the iPhone... I found one on XDA called red is dead on the hero forum and thought it would be the same and since you dont have to have the hero rooted to put themes on this i thought for sure it would work on the eris.... anyway i downloaded and went to install it as instructed and it keeps telling me the file is unsigned... ive been looking into signing the files using different apps but i am completely clueless when it comes to linux and googles code... any help, thoughts, or input is greatly appreciated... thanks in advance
A new Sense is on its way.....
HTC Espresso's revised Sense UI spotted? -- Engadget

Some pings start heading out through the usual channels to build up a bit of buzz. A group of researchers are looking for some people willing to go through a sim in the Holoroom on station prime. It's promised to be a safe way to practice combat, stealth, and general "kick your friends butts in a safe environment" fun. The sign ups promise a bit of PvP. But as it's a simulation there is no danger of loss of life.
The simulation will be monitored for research purposes and the scenario is already programmed. The players involved in testing will be able to use their normal skills and tactics in order to gain the upper hand against the other players and the environment.
So, I'd like to ask for a favor. Any folks looking to play, please let me know what your character you're likely to bring will be when you sign up. This will allow me to work with you to help describe how your skills will translate into the simulation (IE: potential minor flavor changes). I'll look the character over and send you a PM if anything needs tweaking. But it's pretty unlikely given the skills that most characters already have.
I expect the simulation to be pretty short, but there is always a chance of going over the original estimate. Hopefully it'll be close though. :)

Finally the dictator who ruled (or ruined ) the country for 9 years has finally resigned (Congratulations Pakistan).
Now its time for the present government to give him a fair trial which is the right of every Pakistani, we don't want revenge as Bilawal Zardari said also we don't want a safe passage but all we want is a fair trial in front of an independent judicial commission which will comprise of credible people and will be responsible to investigate and on the bases of those investigation launch a trial against Pervaiz Musharraf.
Now the coalition government has no excuse to delay the restoration of judges and undo the unconstitutional measures by General (R) Musharraf.
Also instead of blaming the previous government for current crises (we all know how bad they performed), the current setup must focus on resolving the issues and if they can't do it then instead of wasting nations time and resources they should leave the government otherwise the nation will rise against them with unity and force more stronger than they used against the dictator because the current government is elected by people.
The nation must not stop their struggle here .We still have to achieve the goals of free judiciary, social and economic justice and to achieve the true spirit of freedom with responsibility and rule of law.

• Attention to preventative maintenance via this service will help MPG and keep emissions low which helps with the annual MOT. By removing the build-up of carbon etc from certain components in the fuel & exhaust system those components will last longer and perform at their optimum.
• In modern vehicles electronic sensors e.g. DPF sensors or Lambda sensors can fail due to carbon build up and are expensive to replace as well as causing poor running whilst they deteriorate.
• Talk to your local TerraClean service technician about how TerraClean can become part of your Preventative Maintenance programme.

A team of financial services workers at the Energy Department triumphed in a public-private job competition involving 181 jobs, Energy Deputy Secretary Kyle McSlarrow announced Thursday.
The in-house team won by agreeing to eliminate 63 positions and restructure its operations. Accounting work done at 15 offices nationwide will move to centers in Germantown, Md., and Oak Ridge, Tenn. All told, Energy officials predict that the new accounting organization will save $31 million over five years.
Energy officials evaluated bids using new "best value" criteria included in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76, which the Bush administration rewrote last year. The evaluation method, a favorite of federal contractors, gives less weight to cost and puts more emphasis on technical innovation.
The comparison method raised technical challenges for Energy officials. For example, contractors can include the resumes of key personnel in their proposals, but federal personnel rules prohibit in-house teams from submitting resumes. In a December interview, Dennis O'Brien, Energy's director of competitive sourcing, said the department found solutions. "One of our lessons learned is, you have to be very cognizant of the civilian personnel regulations and how they affect personnel," he said.
Energy expects that most workers displaced by the competition will find other positions in the department. "[Energy] anticipates few, if any, federal employee involuntary separations," the department said in a statement. Some of the eliminated positions are currently vacant.
The competition cost $2.2 million to conduct, according to an Energy official. The new financial services organization should be in place by Oct. 1, 2004. Energy is set to unveil a new accounting system at the same time.
While Energy workers successfully defended their jobs, a contractor defeated 80 Forest Service workers in a competition decided last week. Serco Management Services Inc., a New Jersey affiliate of the United Kingdom-based Serco Group PLC, won a $27 million contract to handle fleet maintenance for the Forest Service in California.
The competition affects 59 full-time Forest Service mechanics. Some may be able to work for Serco, while the Forest Service will retain others to help administer the contract, according to Doug Lee, director of acquisition management in the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest region. Layoffs also are possible, he said. "At least a few [employees] may have to seek other opportunities, which could be internal or external [to the Forest Service]."
Fleet maintenance was a part-time duty for the other 21 employees involved in the competition.
A branch of the National Federation of Federal Employees vowed to fight the decision. "We intend to protest the decision to award this work under the protest procedures outlined in the A-76 process," said William Dougan, president of NFFE's Forest Service council, in a statement.
Forest Service employees have fared well in competitions decided to date. Civil servants have retained 2,187 of 2,474 jobs put up for bid so far, according to agency figures.

Ninety-eight migrant labourers were dragged out of a train and assaulted, allegedly by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members, at Mandya in Karnataka late on Wednesday night. The activists terrorised the labourers hailing from West Bengal, Orissa, Rajasthan, Bihar and other States for nearly two hours before dragging them out, claiming they were "illegal Bangladeshis." The labourers were heading to Mangalore on the Yeshwantpur-Kannur Express. Scores of passengers remained mute spectators to the assault, even as the labourers pleaded that they were headed to the coastal city to seek jobs at construction sites. The activists were returning from a convention in Bangalore.
The ordeal for the workers, 66 of them from West Bengal and belonging to various religions, began soon after they boarded the general compartment of the train in Bangalore at 8 p.m. The activists started questioning them, Bishnu Babu from West Bengal told The Hindu. They also started raising slogans against Bangladeshi migrants. "Without allowing us to explain, they started searching our baggage and pockets. Most of the people were cheering and laughing," Shyam Sharma from Odisha said.
This torture continued till the train reached Mandya. The activists dragged all the labourers out of the train and in full public glare, kicked and punched them. The Mandya police have detained nine persons in connection with the incident. Government Railway Police Deputy Superintendent of Police Meer Arif Ali said the police would book criminal cases against them. The police, after collecting details about the labourers, organised special vehicles and sent them to Bangalore. "We gave protection to the labourers and sent them to Bangalore," Superintendent of Police Koushalendra Kumar said.

Chewy, Crumbly Oat & Pecan Granola BarsPosted: January 3, 2014 Filed under: Breakfast | Tags: dairy free, granola bars, oat, pecan, sugar free, wheat free 2 Comments
The New Year feels like a breath of fresh air and a choke hold at the same time. A fresh opportunity to start over, to make goals and plans but also a big lug of pressure to do do do and accomplish EVERYTHING. There are moments of brightness and there are moments when I just want to make the noise my puppy Boone makes when he can't reach his tennis ball under the couch, a pathetic groan/moan/whimper. Sometimes I wish the New Year started in March when the weather warms up just a little bit, the sun is shiny enough for an afternoon walk, people start wearing jean cut off shorts and flowers peek through the dirt. In January I just want to snuggle in my bed. I don't want to get up when it's still dark outside to go to the gym. (I'm super thankful to live in the South where it might be 70 degrees in a couple of days).
But I AM so thankful that I get to take it day by day. I don't know if tomorrow will even be here. It's no guarantee. But I do know that right now I can play with my dog, I can try a new recipe, I can listen to a friend, I can drink a huge cup of water and take my vitamins. I can go on a
30 minute 10 minute jog and read a couple pages of a book, I can take food to a homeless person. Well maybe not all in one moment, but I can at least do two of those things today.
That's what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for today. I'm thankful that as I choose to embrace this moment, then the next and then the one after that, all the moments will add up. They'll add up to a day then a week, after that a month, and finally a year. And after a year, they'll all be packaged up tidily or messily, but they'll be packaged up nonetheless, to be reflected on, mourned over, laughed at, and proud of. In the meantime I may have a day where I don't do much more than what I was supposed to do, but that's OK. Because I can start again the day after that.
So today, in this simple recipe, I'm embracing a goal for the New Year. Maybe it's yours to. By making a healthy (sugar free! wheat free! dairy free!) granola bar, I'm contributing to my goal of eating breakfast, which is contributing to my desire to be healthier, which is contributing to wanting to loose a couple pounds, which is contributing to having more energy and feeling better. Here's to today!
Chewy, Crumbly Oat & Pecan Granola Bars
Makes 12-16 bars
2.5 cups oats
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cups chopped pecans
2 Tablespoons or so Sunflower seeds
4oz Medjool dates (pitted)
2 ripe bananas, peeled
1/3 cup + 1/4 cup olive oil (used separately)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
to make:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine oats, chopped pecans, coconut flakes & sunflower seeds in a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle maple syrup and 1/3 cup olive oil over top and stir with a spatula to coat everything well.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Combine honey, vanilla and remaining olive oil and pour into a large bowl. In a food processor, chop bananas and dates until smooth-ish. Scoop into the large bowl of liquid, add oat mixture to the bowl. Stir all the combine.
Pour/scrape mixture into an 8×8 baking pan. Line with parchment paper if you have it (I never do!) or just spray a little cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Store in the refrigerator! Enjoy them for breakfast on the go or crumble them into almond milk or Greek yogurt. Also delicious as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea!

I like this fish…it's one of the cleaner ones in the group. Only a slight hump to the nape, and if I was to be critical of anything else, it'd be the shape of the ventral fins..a little too squared off for my liking. Lots of potential here for a great looking fish as it matures.

Wiley Drake fights to reopen church homeless shelter
BUENA PARK, Calif. (BP) -- Southern Baptist pastor Wiley Drake is seeking a restraining order against three city officials in Buena Park, Calif., after the city condemned and shut down his church's homeless shelter Feb. 9.
Drake seeks restraining orders against Police Chief Corey S. Sianez, Building and Safety Manager Brian Hadley, and Community Development Director Joel Rosen, and is seeking pro bono legal representation in advance of the March 3 court date.
"We hope we'll be able to reopen the building," Drake told Baptist Press today (Feb. 10). "We're a small Southern Baptist church and don't have much money."
About 15 people who were living in the shelter spent the night in First Southern Baptist's sanctuary, Drake said, and most of them have been offered temporary housing in other shelters.
Drake doesn't buy the city's argument that the shelter is unsafe, he said, because it's the same shelter the city gave an occupancy permit in 1999 for use as a temporary dormitory. The building has a sprinkler system and a fire alarm, Drake said.
"The building has been in compliance since 1999 and you didn't say anything. Why all of a sudden now?" Wiley posed. "The building is not a pretty building. It's a modular building but it is not unsafe.... The city indeed has condemned it, red-tagged it, whatever they call it."
City officials have said last year's deadly Oakland warehouse fire encouraged them to be more diligent in ensuring facility safety, the Orange County Register reported.
"Our first and foremost responsibility is the safety of the residents," the Register quoted Buena Park Councilwoman Virginia Vaughn. "It really has been a group effort to go in there as calmly and as professionally and as caring as possible. Really, that's what it's all about."
The shelter opened in 1999 in modular buildings that were donated to the church. It remained open as Drake sought unsuccessfully to build a permanent shelter, and city officials periodically renewed its occupancy permit over the past 17 years, the Register said.
The church at one point had plans in place to construct a permanent facility, Drake said, but was denied a building permit because the church didn't have funds on hand to complete construction. The shelter, offering housing, showers, meals, Bible study and worship, has been a source of evangelism sparking numerous salvations over the years, Drake said.
First Southern Baptist currently has about 50 active members. Drake, who served as Southern Baptist Convention second vice president in 2006-2007, hosts The Wiley Drake Show, a daily television talk show available on U-Stream.

Gerður Kristný [Fabulous Iceland]
Another thing I want to do this week (in addition to a special post about Icelandic cuisine) is highlight some of the as-yet-untranslated authors featured on the wonderful Fabulous Iceland site.
First up is Gerður Kristný, who I had the honor of meeting last time I was in Iceland. (Facebook friends go first! Besides, Gerður and her husband, Kristján Jónasson, are two of the nicest people ever.) She's the author of 18 books, mostly poetry, but also novels, short story collections, and children's books.
As mentioned on the Fabulous Iceland site, 2010 was a kick-ass year for Gerður. Over the course of 2010 she won three prizes: the Jón úr Vör Poetry Prize, the Guðmundur Böðvarsson Poetry Prize, and West Nordic Children's Literature Prize. She has a new book of poetry out—Blóðhófnir (Bloodhoof)—which is based on an ancient Eddic poem and has been receiving a lot of praise. And that comment about being one of the nicest people ever? She also spent some time in Uganda recently working with the Icelandic branch of Save the Children.
Fabulous Iceland has a very nice interview with Gerður, which is where the following is pulled from:
Your newest book draws on ancient Nordic literature: The Lay of Skírnir in the Poetic Edda. Sixteen years before that, you dealt with the exact same work in the poem "Til Skírnis" ("To Skírnir"), which appeared in your debut. Did the material for Bloodhoof stay with you for all those years?
As a child, I fell in love with Norse mythology. I thought the stories were terrific. The tale of my namesake, Gerður, the daughter of Gymir, was an early favorite, so I lent her a voice in my first work, the poetry book Ísfrétt (Ice Report, 1994). Later, after turning in the manuscript of my first novel, Regnbogi í póstinum (A Rainbow in the Mail, 1996), I decided to celebrate by getting a tattoo. I had an old friend, the late tattoo-artist Helgi, tattoo Freyr's sword on me. I've gone around armed ever since. I would later write a poem about Helgi, which appeared in Höggstaður (Weak Point, 2007).
The new book undermines the traditional reading of The Lay of Skírnir as a love poem. Instead, it highlights the coercion brought to bear on the giantess Gerður. Tellingly, equal rights have been a persistent theme in your work. There is a special kind of impact in subverting old traditions like this, isn't there?
Equal rights are often mentioned in the pieces I've written for the newspaper Fréttablaðið during the past five years, but not in the poetry you are referring to. Scholars have covered The Lay of Skírni_r very well in the past few years, and no wonder – it's a captivating poem that lends itself readily to interpretation. I find the coercion in _The Lay of Skírnir to be plain as day. Gerður Gymisdóttir has no more choice than the young girls I recently met in Uganda. Just like her, they were snatched from their homes and forced into the service of men. Skírnir bullied Gerður with threats, the worst of which was the threat of eternal loneliness, that she will only have death to look forward to. It's understandable that this threat sways her. When I was little, I read that Gerður was counted among the Æsir – the Norse Gods – after arriving in their midst. At the time I thought that this must have been a great honor to her. However, if you read the poem you'll see that she doesn't want to leave her home and only gives in under extreme duress. The lay comes to a close when Skírnir informs the god Freyr that Gerður is on her way. I wanted to continue the story and relate what happened when Freyr and Gerður meet. And that's what I did in Bloodhoof.
There is a strong element of horror in your poetry. Does fear fascinate you?
My world of poetry has always had very strict border patrols. However, fear was an early settler, settling into its deepest crevices. It's stayed there ever since; I don't think I'll be evicting it by now. In any case, there has to be room for the whole spectrum of emotions. [. . .]
18 works in 16 years. Is more on the way?
There sure is! In late January, my musical Ballið á Bessastöðum (The Bessastaðir Ball) will premier on the main stage of the National Theater. It's adapted from two of my books: The Bessastaðir Ball (2007) and Prinsessan á Bessastöðum (The Bessastaðir Princess, 2009). After that, there are at least two novels waiting to be finished, and I have quite a bit of unpublished poetry. In December, I'll be heading off to a poetry festival in Bangladesh, and no doubt some of the things I'll see there will find their way into poetry. I'll bring a notepad along, sketch down ideas, and when I get home I'll see if they're worth anything.

I realise I've been quiet here for a while but I'm back (hopefully). I'm actually starting up a new blog (don't worry I'll keep posting here as well).
This one is all about music because it is one of my biggest passions, and features interviews with bands, I've already got one ready to go and I'm waiting on a couple of other interviews too. Anyway, if you love music check it out (pretty please with a cherry on top) and I'm sure you'll be introduced to something new.
The first post on it was about Molotov Jukebox, the band that I'm in love with at the moment (they favourited my tweet about them on twitter).
