Now you all know I can't resist a good meme!
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you. Paul's mother, Prince Harry, Agatha Christie
2. Where was your first kiss? The first one that counted was on the first date I had with Tom. I felt that kiss all over and yet I could not talk him into my bed that night.
3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property? Ummm… well …. Oh my, I think I'll skip this question.
4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex. I have. You have to remember I was quite wild for a few years of my life. I have worked hard to cultivate my persona as a lady.
5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? I have not. I do have some pride!
6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex? I look at their eyes. If they are not a kind person their eyes will give you away.
7. What really turns you on? Tom's touch, Tom's looks, Tom.
8. What do you order at Starbucks? I like espresso if I can get away with it.
9. What is your biggest mistake? Oh my, there are so many! Trying to pick one is like trying to determine if the devil's right horn is sharper than his left!
10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose? I have to say I have but nothing like that in a long, long time.
11. Say something totally random about yourself. I now have common sense – I'll explain later.
12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? Tom saw this picture of Ellen Burstyn and thought it looked like me.
13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows? Very rarely. I have watched a Disney movie or two in my day.
14. Did you have braces? No
15. Are you comfortable with your height? Most of the time but when Tom is annoyed and towering over me I could use an inch or two.
16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you? I love it when Tom baths me, tucks me in bed and reads to me as I fall asleep.
17. When do you know its love? When you see them you feel you can't breathe and when they go away you don't feel like you want to.
18. Do you speak any other languages? Some days I still feel like I am just mastering English. At least when I am trying to write it.
19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon? Heavens no! I couldn't be shut up in a box like that. Besides I am way too old to tan although I used to tan quite well – the old fashion way.
20. What magazines do you read? I read books often but rarely magazines.
21. Have you ever ridden in a limo? I have indeed.
22. Has anyone you were really close to passed away? My grandmother.
23. Do you watch mtv? Do I watch what?
24. What's something that really annoys you? Rules.
25. What's something you really like? Living on the river.
26. Do you like Michael Jackson? I never met Michael Jackson.
27. Can you dance? Now we have stumbled on to something I can do! Tom and I dance very well and I love to dance anytime we can.
28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up? How many days are we talking about here?
29. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room? I have.
30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out? I love meme, I love learning about my friends. I read every one.

here are 8 really swell gifts people might actually use and really dig for the holiday exchange thang this time of year ::
1. Amazon gift card ✌ some people think it's impersonal to give a gift card or money as a gift. I'm here telling you,people really love to receive them, so give one.
2. iTunes gift card ✾ no, this is not going to be a post about giving gift cards, however, if your giftee is a music soul, you will have delighted them with glee if you do this. An iTunes gift card will be golden!( and it's likely to get used within the week!)
3. Shutterfly mugs or blankets 🐼 they are personal favs of mine. I have gifted both to smiling receivers. Shutterfly.com is an online photography developer/ editor at your fingertips. Upload photos and store them until you're ready to edit and make a photo album or order copies.
4. A pack of sessions for yoga classes, Zumba classes, Pilates classes, soul cycle… ☮ If you give someone money cuz they want to start taking these classes, don't necessarily believe they'll follow through. Things come up, you know.
5. An herb garden ( in a big ole basket, of course) ⚛ stuff the basket with the necessary grow-goodies ➠ soil, 5-6 4″pots, organic seeds, a hand shovel, and gloves-optional
6. A groupon for a massage ☮ holy moly, do I need to explain how this will please the gifted?
7. Headphones ❢ for iPods, iPads, iPhones ( sorry, I'm kinda a Mac person). Headphones always get tangled, lost, shorted out, stepped on. Trust me, lots of people need new ones.
8. Take someone on a holiday night out ⚛ forget having your giftee exchange your gift for something better.
Give 'em an event {something you can share} , instead. Dress up. Make a day into night of it. Bustle around in your hat and mittens with a hot cocoa in hand. Listen to music/ carolers. See the town tree. Take pictures like a tourist. Film close-up video footage.
To me, these are just the greatest dig-able holiday gifts ever.
be merry and ☀ bright.
Be creative. Get personal.

Gamers were mildly concerned last month that the Xbox Arcade model, with no internal memory, would not be able to run Microsoft's shiny new Xbox Live Experience.
Microsoft originally hit on the idea of offering free memory cards, but even that seemed a bit of a clumsy workaround.
Worry no more, gamers!
Microsoft is now planning on releasing Xbox Arcade units with 256MB of internal memory. A far more straightforward solution in TechRadar's esteemed opinion.
No official word yet on when the new Arcade units will be available, but TechRadar will of course be badgering Microsoft for the details on your behalf.
Because we're nice like that.

If it's any consolation I'm so happy you stayed. I'm an eighth Scot. Married to a Scot. Have fond memories of visiting my Great Grandma in Scotland. More good times were had shopping in Edinburgh. And just in general when I say "I'm British" a whole part of me is referring to you. I'm not thinking economically. I'm not thinking politically. I'm not thinking historically past my own timeline.
I'm just thinking about me. I am British. You are Britain. Therefore I am a bit of you. So thanks for staying.
Partially, though not insignificantly, yours
Charlie :)
Rather topically, here are a few of my snaps from Loch Lomond last week... Beautiful BEAUTIFUL Scotland...

16/06/20 – Please see attached an important letter from Mr Brant about the partial re-opening of Ysgol Rhosnesni.
If you have confirmed that your child will be returning, we will contact you individually over the next few days to clarify arrangements.
08/06/20 -Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
'Check in, Catch Up, Prepare for Summer and September'
I wanted to give you some reassurances, following last week's announcement by the Education Minister, Kirsty Williams. On Wednesday 3rd June, we were given details of the next planned phase for schools in Wales. The key message was that all students would soon have the opportunity to 'Check in, Catch Up, Prepare for Summer and September'. As part of her statement, the Minister confirmed her intention that schools should begin planning for the first phase of re-opening on 29th June, with the summer term now extended by a week (ending Friday 24th July). Furthermore, the last four weeks of this summer term should be used to make sure that pupils, staff and parents are prepared – mentally, emotionally and practically – for a 'new normal' in September 2020. Interestingly, the Minister also announced that the autumn half-term break will be now extended to two weeks.
A link to Kirsty William's full statement can be found on our website, along with letters from Ian Roberts from Wrexham LA.
Please let me assure you that the health and safety of staff and students is always my starting point. Therefore, I am eagerly awaiting detailed guidance that will help us to plan and prepare for this next phase. Welsh Government has announced that this further information will provide clarity on managing facilities and logistical arrangements, including buildings, resources, cleaning and transport. However, we have already started our initial planning and considerations, prioritising the wishes and wellbeing of students, staff and parents. To be clear, we will not re-open Rhosnesni unless our Covid-19 risk assessments and operational plans are robust and manageable. When we do re-open, it will be done carefully, gradually and safely.
We understand that you will have many questions and we are working closely with the local authority, the regional consortium and our governors so that we can provide you with the information you need to prepare for this next phase. You will be asked to complete an important questionnaire to assist us in our planning. Please take the time to respond carefully to this survey.
I will write to you again, as soon as more detailed information is available. In the meantime, I would like to thank you for your continued support during these challenging and unprecedented times.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Brant
Ysgol Rhosnesni
08/06/20 – Preparations For The Re-opening of Rhosnesni High School
Dear Parents and Carers,
Further to the recent announcement by the Welsh Government, initial plans and preparations are being considered for staff and students to return to school, with a provisional start date from Monday 29th June 2020. As you can imagine, how we operate in school will look very different from usual, including various health and safety measures.
As a school, the wellbeing of our staff and students is of paramount importance. To help us to be as prepared as we can to receive your child, or support them should they continue to learn from home, we require you to complete a questionnaire on how your child has coped during their time away from school.
We recognise that at this time of uncertainty, some of you may have many questions to ask. Once the national guidance has been published, and we have had the opportunity to digest this, we will write to you again with further information about how we will return safely to school.
To prepare for the re-opening of school it is vital that parents complete the questionnaire about their child (and again for each child who attends Rhosnesni High School) by 12 noon Thursday 11th June 2020.

Message from the Headteacher – Stay Safe. Stay Learning
Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
Firstly, I hope that you are all safe and well. Your health and emotional well-being is always a priority at Ysgol Rhosnesni. Sadly, during these difficult and unprecedented times, we must now put many of our ambitions and interests temporarily on hold as we battle the Covid-19 virus.
The national curriculum is now suspended and will be, I imagine, for a considerable period of time. I am mindful that we all have very different circumstances at home and that it would be insensitive and impractical to have the same expectations for all students, carers and staff.
During the coming weeks, please complete academic work as and when you can. There will be no pressure or deadlines from my colleagues. Please, just have a go and try to enjoy learning. If our teachers are fit and able, they will support and encourage students to develop this distance learning approach.
Our website has lots of great resources and links which we will continue to update regularly. Google classroom is available and we will assist, wherever possible, with any technical difficulties. Three extremely good resources to which I wish to draw your attention are:
· Hwb https://hwb.gov.wales/distance-learning/
· The Oak National Academy https://www.thenational.academy
· BBC Teach https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach
Please visit these sites, whenever you can. They are full of excellent content and study materials.
Undoubtedly, there is so much students can still learn whilst at home. However, I would encourage you to set yourself achievable targets. Why not improve your French or Welsh language, develop numeracy skills or write news articles and short stories? What interesting things can you draw, make or perform? Please remember to be safe and careful. Students should always get adult permission before they do any practical activities at home.
It is essential that we all remain fit and healthy, particularly during the coming months. Please take safe and moderate exercise whenever you can. Keep moving, remain active and adhere to all government lockdown guidelines. Never underestimate how good a little physical exercise can make a person feel.
Finally, I have always believed that reading is the cornerstone of academic success. If you are in any doubt as to what to do with your extra time, please read, read, read. You can lose yourself in a good story, discover scientific facts or learn about world history by using reliable websites such as those above.
Below, you will find an important link for the Welsh Government's policy statement, 'Stay Safe. Stay Learning'. Please keep safe and well, try to remain positive and remember that we are always here for you if you need us.
Best wishes,
Mr Brant
20/04/20 – Important information for families eligible for Free School Meals
Since schools were closed for educational purposes on 20th March, Wrexham Council has been providing "Grab and Go" packed lunches for children eligible for free school meals. This system was introduced as an interim measure to give time to develop a system which will reach more families whose children receive free school meals when attending school and will continue upto and including Friday 1st May.
As from Monday 4th May, the Council will be introducing a Direct Payment system where parents/carers will receive a payment into their bank account on a monthly basis equating £19.50 per week for each eligible child in the family.
This will enable parents to purchase food for their children and reduce the necessity to make daily visits to the distribution points and also reduce travel across the Borough. For the children of critical workers and vulnerable children in receipt of free school meals who are attending school and are currently in receipt of free school meals, this scheme will also apply and parents will be required to pay for the meal in school should they wish their child to have one or alternatively provide a packed lunch though using the finance provided.
Parents with children who receive free school meals are strongly encouraged to register through completing the registration form accessed through Council's website at:
Applications will open from 9am on Monday 20th April, and will close on Friday 1st May 2020 at 5pm. Payments for those who qualify will be made on Wednesday 6th May. Applications made after the closing date above, will not be paid in May.
Should there be any queries, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
FAMILIES NEED TO APPLY FOR THIS PAYMENT FROM WREXHAM COUNCIL BY FOLLOWING THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS, this will not automatically be paid.
20/03/20 – Information for Parents/Carers:
School Closure: Ysgol Rhosnesni is closed to ALL students until further notice. Children who are vulnerable and children whose parents are critical to the Covid-19 response (who cannot be safely cared for at home) are entitled to provision. However, it is imperative that, as far as possible, we minimise social contact and ensure that anyone who is particularly vulnerable to the virus is able to adopt stringent social distancing. This means that if children can stay safely in their home, they should, to limit the chance of the virus spreading.
There are numerous resources for families to use whilst at home and links to useful websites under the STUDENTS tab on this website. These will be kept updated and new resources added. Please encourage your children to continue learning and exercising safely whilst at home. We are attempting to provide work in paper format for families without internet access.

In May of 2017, I decided to do something. That was when I officially began the journey of a very public transformation. I've had a large social media following for several years, as a result of starting a couple companies that grew into thousands of fans and customers. But, they only knew me as a car enthusiast, or an oil industry worker. Even though I've been consulting businesses and mentoring startups for over a decade, I was only doing this privately. I didn't have the confidence to inspire and educate people in a public manner. We all have the fears of rejection, and failure. I decided that I would overcome these fears, and step into this big social media spotlight.
It wasn't easy. It still isn't easy. I'm only about a year into this, at the time of this writing. I've learned many things during this past year. Not all of them have been good things. I've learned that some people that you considered friends for years, would not support your goals. Even those who you have always supported, with their dreams. They will laugh at you, talk behind your back, and make passive-aggressive comments to try to take you down a notch. I'd say this was the most disappointing part of the journey, so far. If anything, it has been a great eye-opener, and has exposed these people for who they really are. For that, I am actually grateful. I have a very strong and determined mindset, and it is very clear that I do not let these critics stop my progress. Obviously, they must have underestimated my drive and determination.
Conversely, there has been a positive aspect to this. An opposite realization, which carries far more weight than what naysayers bring. For every negative critic that showed up, there have been dozens of unexpected supporters that also appeared. People that I may have misjudged, who I never thought would support me. Those relationships have grown stronger, and it has highlighted the good people in my circles. The amount of positive emails, texts and messages I receive completely overwhelm me. It tells me I'm doing something right.
Getting back to the topic of fear. I knew I had stories and lessons to tell. I just knew that I wasn't brave enough to deliver them to my own acceptable standards. I had to get better at public speaking. Some people actually rank public speaking higher than the fear of death. There would be no way around this fear. I'd have to trudge right through the middle of it, if I ever hoped to achieve my goals. So, I took a deep breath, and called myself a few derogatory names, and signed up to attend a local club meeting with Toastmasters International in my area. For those of you that aren't familiar with Toastmasters, it is a non-profit worldwide organization that provides education and practice in public speaking and leadership. Chances are, there are a few clubs near you. You can search for them on their website, Toastmasters.org
In less than one year, I went from having zero experience in public speaking, to competing - and winning at public speaking contests. Had you asked me a year ago if I'd be competing at this, I'd have laughed at you as the cold sweats began to form just thinking about it. No way in hell could I see myself doing that, especially in a short amount of time. But here is the thing, I was simply determined. Like everything in my life, I set goals, and then deliver on them. I attended every single Monday night, only missing them on vacations or holidays. I found great mentors, and a room of positive, supportive people, who feel more like family now. We are all there on the same mission, for self-improvement. I recently earned my Competent Communicator certificate, having completed 10 prepared public speeches. Something to frame, and be proud of. Very few start and complete that journey. Most take several years to do so. There are no shortcuts.
I feel that anyone that joins, and participates within Toastmasters will be forever changed for the better. In one year, you will not be the same person that joined. I found so much value here, that I became a VP of this group. I plan to stick around and mentor others. I also have plenty of room to improve. Watching the weekly transformations and improvements of others in the group, is something astounding to witness.
Anyways, here is a contest speech that I delivered a week ago, on the subject of FEAR! I hope that the story captivates you, but more importantly, the message is heard. This is how I live my life, nowadays. If something makes me feel fear, I go after it and try to overcome that fear. Enjoy.

text: Discovered this beautiful CB550 on the frequently updated and entertaining Motorcycle Picture of the Day blog. Completely garage built by a guy called Eric, he goes into great detail about how he created this cafe racer. Eric says he "fitted a set of forks from a 2004 GSX-R 600, using a Harley narrow glide wheel which fit surprisingly well between the calipers; it was almost a plug-n-play operation. The rotors are 320mm units from a Hayabusa which required 10mm spacers underneath the calipers. The eBay front end also came complete with clipons & controls so I decided to go ahead and use them; the right control wouldn't fit with the bar-end mirror so I binned it in favor of a Motion Pro throttle assembly and start/kill switch from an R6. The rearsets are Tarozzi universals mounted to the passenger peg mounts. The rear wheel is a Harley 3.5×18 rim that I laced to the 550 hub with Buchanan stainless spokes. I popped the top end off the engine and freshened it up a bit with a set of 59mm pistons and camshaft from a SOHC CB650 for a little extra oomph". Eric has really stamped his individuality on this CB550, we particularly love those Norton commando peashooter exhausts which look like they produce a mighty bark. Check out more pics of this stunning bike and the full story on MPOTD.


text: Hello, Firstly, thank you for this site, this forum and all the guidance and support you provide. You are a blessing! I'm completing an application for my Mom (surviving spouse). She is post stroke, mentally incompetent and dependent for all affairs and activities of daily living. She is in home with myself and 2 hired caregivers providing 24 hour care. I have POA for her and I'm co-owner on her bank account. My Questions: 1) How do I gain access to be able to discuss my Mom's case with VA during application process? I see the suggestion to complete FORM 21-0845 - Authorization to Disclose Personal Information to A Third Party. However, that form states "may not be executed by any beneficiary recognized as incompetent for VA purposes". It seems like a bit of a catch-22...what to do? 2) Can I and should I request fiduciary process along with initial application submission? If so, how do I go about such? 3) Is form, 21-2680 (Examination For Housebound Status OR Permanent Need For Regular Aid and Attendance) required? Is it the same as what is considered the Physician's Statement? 4) Is form 21P-8416 (Medical Expense Report) required? 5) Do I sign the application? Thank you for considering my questions and any feedback you have will be helpful. Sincerely, Mardi

A Heritage of Surgical Excellence
The Trauma Center at Mount Sinai St. Luke's Hospital is one of the four state-designated Level 1 Trauma Centers in Manhattan. Under the direction of Raymond V. Wedderburn, MD, FACS, the trauma service cares for patients with single & multiple system injuries. The trauma team (PGY-5, 4, 1) is activated for all patients meeting specific trauma criteria and respond to the Emergency Department for initial involvement in the management of all injured patients. All trauma patients requiring hospitalization are admitted to one of two designated surgical services at the Mount Sinai St. Luke's site. The care of each trauma patient is supervised by one of six attending trauma surgeons. Critically injured patients are admitted to the designated SICU at St. Luke's (SL) which also serves as the trauma ICU. As violent crime has decreased in NYC, the number of penetrating injuries has decreased but the service continues to provide exposure to a good mix of blunt and penetrating injuries.
Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital Center is fully committed to the care of critically ill and injured patients. As such, The SICU at each site is fully staffed (24/7) by surgical and anesthesia house staff with complete attending staff backup. The SICU at MSSL is a designated 9 bed unit, staffed by board certified intensivists in surgery and anesthesiology. The unit serves a mix of patients undergoing major general surgical as well as trauma procedures. Additionally, patients with surgical conditions requiring nonoperative management in a critical care setting are admitted to this unit. Examples of the above include severe pancreatitis and multiple traumas. The SICU at Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital is part of a mixed medical-surgical ICU. The unit is fully staffed by surgical intensivists as well as one pulmonary critical care intensivist committed to the care of critically ill patients.

Sound to me that there are ample grounds to put Mr McConnell (and his supporters) in the hoosegow.
Especially with the new projections showing a Democrat Majority is possible in the House which would try an Impeachment.
McConnell: No Vote on Supreme Court Nominee Even if Democrat Wins Presidency
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell doubled down on his insistence that Republicans would not consider President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court this year. Even if it seems that the next president could pick someone the Republicans would like even less, McConnell is adamant his fellow party members won't budge on Merrick Garland. "I can't imagine that a Republican-majority Congress, in a lame-duck session, after the American people have spoken would want to confirm a nominee opposed by the NRA, the NFIB and that the New York Times says would move the court dramatically to the left," McConnell told CNN.
The Senate majority leader insisted that the reasoning behind refusing to vote is the same, regardless of timing. "The principle is the same, whether it's before the election or after the election," McConnell said on Fox News. "The principle is the American people are choosing their next president and their next president should pick this Supreme Court nominee."
What if a Democrat wins the presidency and decides to appoint someone more liberal than Garland? "It'd be hard to be more liberal than Merrick Garland,"McConnell told NBC News.
White House chief of staff Denis McDonough insisted Obama has no intention of withdrawing Garland's name from consideration, regardless of what happens in November. "We will stand by him from now until he is confirmed and he's sitting on the Supreme Court," McDonough said on Fox News.

With it being a new year, I wanted to share a gentle suggestion or two. Maybe you can tack these on to the end of a list of your resolutions.
As you may be well aware, we are living in challenging times. I don't want to dwell on all of the shenanigans of President Donald Trump's administration, but we know that there are a lot of things stacked against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and, especially, transgender portions of the larger community.
On top of that, there are particularly virulent transphobes currently clogging social media and other spaces backed by religious right organizations who cloak their hatred in the language of feminism with an all-but-stated goal of eliminating transgender people altogether.
We live in times where hatred against us is being amplified somewhere beyond 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.
Likewise, a lot of us fight every day over our own feelings of self-worth and self-hatred. That can be a hard, daily, and lifelong fight, and not all of us win that battle.
With all of this, we don't need to be attacking each other right now.
Nevertheless, in both the world of social media and within the non-virtual reality we all share, some of our LGB brethren are tearing down transgender people. I see the reverse, too, with some transgender people feeling the need to assert that they are not gay or lesbian by engaging in homophobia.
What's more, I will often see one "type" of transgender person tearing down another, claiming that their particular expression of their innate trans being is somehow less valid, less "real" than another. This is probably more often seen in fights between those who view people who want surgery as "more" of a trans person than those who don't.
So, with all the hate from outside our community, aimed squarely at all of us, the last thing we need right now is to fall into all-too-familiar patterns and begin attacking each other once again.
I'm not saying we all need to hold hands and sing campfire songs. To be honest, I don't think that's at all realistic.
We are always going to have disagreements. Heck, there are people who hold hatred in their hearts against me — and, to be honest, there are also some people I don't have many good things to say about.
I am saying that trans and nonbinary people, as a general rule, should to be able and willing to support each type of us there is: nonbinary and binary, transitioned, transitioning, or not, and cutting across lines of race, ability, culture, etc.
Likewise, all of us in the larger, sometimes fractious, LGBTQ acronym need to learn to allow space for each letter to thrive, together. We need to learn from each other to do so.
Support your trans siblings, your nonbinary friends, your LGBTQ comrades.
There is a lot we could learn from each other, both personally and politically. Not that there's a great deal of difference between those two in these grim days.
To me, as long as one's path harms no one, and is valuable to them, then it is a valid path. It may not be mine, of course, and that's perfectly fine.
We are always too willing to play "purity politics" games with each other and assume that if someone isn't walking the same path as you in our community, then we are suspect. Meanwhile, those who would seek to erase our very existence are not making such arbitrary distinctions: they want all of us gone.
I'd even suggest you take things a step or two farther, and this is where things get more challenging: For those of you who are some flavor of trans or nonbinary, understand that if someone is binary, or nonbinary, or has some track in their transition that may seem odd or even "wrong" to you, try to understand for yourself why that path is right for them.
Everyone has reasons for what they're doing, and the majority of those reasons are valid for a person given where they are in life and what they may happen to be facing. Some may feel a need to undergo surgical transition, while some may abhor the very idea. That choice is acceptable for each.
Further, what is a valid choice for a person today may not be tomorrow. Some people will find themselves needing to detransition due to societal or financial pressures, or any number of other reasons. They may retransition later. That's OK.
Lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people may feel that their issues are different from those of transgender people, but we actually have more similarities than differences. The issues of transphobic discrimination and homophobic discrimination go hand in hand, particularly given how much both aversions are based on expectations of gender.
I know it is seductive to turn to the same methods as those who seek to harm the LGBTQ community as a whole, and transgender people specifically. It would seem so easy to simply decide that you can find the parts of the community that you may be uncomfortable with, and excise the same. Then maybe, finally, our own oppressors would welcome us — but it never works like this.
Those who would stand against us would be more than happy to see us destroy ourselves first, leaving whatever remains powerless and disenfranchised before they enter to finish us off.
Now is not the time for our various community to break into factions, nor is this the time to plunge our own knives into each other's backs.
This is the time to stand together, as one, where we revel in our differences, and recognize that that is truly where our strength lies. All of our lives depend on it.
Gwen Smith will tolerate anything but intolerance. You'll find her at www.gwensmith.com.

The Big Reveal
January 25, 2009
Voila! The stairs are complete:
They were actually finished last Sunday, but last week didn't present time for a proper post. After all the work we did to get these finished, they deserved a proper DIY reveal.
When we bought the house, the stairs were painted white, had a green runner and orangey-stained railings. The post looked like a dog chewed it (because a dog chewed it) and the runner was 99% dirt. It didn't suit our style and was pretty ugly.
We decided to pull off the carpet and to our surprise, they painted the stairs just enough to hide the runner. And the runner was hiding a whole lot of junk like old glue and fuzz and dog hair and other stuff that is nightmare-inducing. It was disgusting.
So we decided to strip the stairs of all the peeling paint and disgusting stuff and repaint them. Once I realized what a big job that would be, I gave myself 10 years to complete it.
We got it done in less than 2.
Old houses have a certain charm, which means that no corner is square, stuff has bumps and nicks and evidence that lots of people have lived here and without completely ripping things out and replacing them, they will always have some part of that left.
So our stairs aren't perfectly smooth or even; but they are sturdy and straight.
We decided to add trim to mask the not-so-perfect edges where the Bitter Chocolate meets the Natural Linen and I'm very pleased with the effect; it gives the treads a bit more heft and makes things look much straighter.
We had to use alkyd paint on the treads and at first the plan was to do the railings the same colour. It was such a pain to work with, that I used the riser paint instead and while we were a bit unsure about the colour at first, we're used to it now and will live with it for a while. If it proves too difficult to keep clean, or we just don't like it, I'll get some latex paint in the brown colour and re-do them. It will be a bit of a challenge because I'll need to take out a teeny artist brush to paint where the railing meets the walls or ceiling (which are the same colour as the risers so it was easy!), so there's another reason to love the railing I already have.
I'm so happy with how it turned out. But at least right now I can say I will never tackle that job again. Well at least not at this house.

Every company owner wants to boost the popularity of its brand and it is very difficult when the owner does not have an effective promotional method. Most business owners may know well that social media websites like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram are the best viral marketing tool. They must have known that sharing pictures with related products or service can increase their popularity in much faster ways. However, they still doubt how Instagram can help them significantly, whenever they have a great number of likes. This is why, automatic Instagram likes are necessary to buy.
People have a high curiousity on pictures with lots of likes and followers. When they find out that the pictures are interesting and have high value, then they do not mind to share them to their friends. Sharing those pictures can be done in less than a minute and this is why, many business owners are recommended to buy Instagram likes for their own sake. For company owners with well-planned marketing scheme, it is better for them to buy monthly Instagram likes. Updated pictures will get automatic likes in desired numbers in a monthly basis. It will deliver good impression on the brand's name, instead of getting abundant likes in an instant.
Though it is easy to buy automatic Instagram likes, it is recommended for all company owners to provide high quality pictures. The pictures have the same function as giant billboard or banners that are displayed on public places. The main difference is that, the company owners do not have to pay much for promoting their brands through those pictures. Company owners should also make sure that their page or profile is set to 'Public' instead of 'Private'. This is to ensure that everyone can see, become followers and give likes, whenever there are updated pictures available.

Cold sores are caused by certain strains of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV-1 usually causes cold sores. HSV-2 is usually responsible for genital herpes. However, either type can cause sores in the facial area or on the genitals. Most people who are infected with the virus that causes cold sores never develop signs and symptoms. The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid-such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body. In Israel HSV-2 prevalence was also notably low among women (5%) and men (4%) aged 18–95 years in Israel. The number of person enrolling for Cold sores in increasing day by day. Cold sores usually clear up without treatment within 7 to 10 days. Antiviral tablets or cream can be used to ease your symptoms and speed up the healing time. Antiviral creams such as aciclovir or penciclovir (also known as Fenistil) may speed up the healing time of a recurrent cold sore infection if used correctly.Cold sore creams are widely available over the counter from pharmacies without a prescription.
Using an antiviral cream after this initial period is unlikely to have much effect. Cold sore patches that contain a special gel called hydrocolloid are also available. They are an effective treatment for skin wounds and are placed over the cold sore to hide the sore area while it heals Various vaccine candidates have been developed, the first ones in the 1920s, but none has been successful to date. Due to the genetic similarity of both herpes simplex virus types (HSV-1 and HSV-2), the development of a prophylactic-therapeutic vaccine which is proven effective against one type of the virus would provide fundamentals for vaccine-development for the other virus type. As of 2015, several vaccine candidates are in different stages of clinical trials as they are being tested for safety and efficacy, including at least three vaccine candidates in the US and one in Australia.

Reverse Engineering
Your constantly-updated definition of Reverse Engineering and collection of topical content and literature
What is Reverse Engineering?
Reverse-engineering is a process which enables a designer or developer to move from a finished product (create by someone else) to the process of creating that product. It is used for many reasons some legitimate and some not so legitimate throughout industry. A UX designer should be familiar with the concept of reverse-engineering and understand when it might add value to a project that they are working whilst always acting ethically and within the law.

Online education sites that follow an open learning model, like Khan Academy, Duolingo, Udemy, and Coursera, have helped provide anyone with access to the internet connection to a college-level education. Anything that one would ever want to learn is at your fingertips — regardless of your race, gender, or socio-economic status.
Salman Khan, founder of Khan Academy, sees a vision where people take ownership of their education in order to make an impact. They don't just passively listen to a video but instead engage in the content that's being lectured. The video provides some structure and core knowledge, the student goes out and finds the rest.
This idea is an improvement over a time when such services didn't exist but still has some issues that need to be addressed. Marc Sollinger of Public Radio International argues that there are still quite a few barriers that prevent Khan's vision of democratized education from becoming reality. Sollinger is right. Lots of them. He interviewed Mimi Ito, a cultural anthropologist at the University of California Irvine, to get her take on whether open courses are the revolution everyone is making them out to be.
She explained:
"Often, when we think of the open internet and resources being freely available, we assume it has a democratizing function. That anybody can access this stuff; it's free and open, so therefore it must be more equitable. The sad fact is that we know historically, that when you provide fancier technology, it actually increases inequity."
She cites one main barrier as access to new technology: the haves and the have nots, if you will. But even in an ideal world where everyone has a laptop, iPad, and smartphone, she says it doesn't make a difference if the people most in need of equalizing do not have context for using this technology.
A prime example of this is the difference between females and males growing up in the computer age during the 1990s. By the time both of these groups got to the classroom, in say late university, most boys already had context for how this technology functioned and was being used.
Another issue is the reputations that are attached to universities and colleges. The schools winning the battle for online students are the ones that big, established brands in the traditional education market. To say you learned something online via Kahn Academy just doesn't have the same weight as saying you graduated from Penn State, where there's not even a need to admit you did courses online.
Well regarded colleges have become well regarded online colleges, complete with the high tuition. Getting online makes the education easier to obtain for some but the traditional financial burden keeps it from being democratic.
Online learning still has a long way to go before it's an equal playing field, but Ito says that educators are determined to help it get there:
"The sector around educational technology is very progressive and quite aware of these issues, and is grappling with them in a serious way."

A security measure put into place by Facebook last month has proven more effective than expected. The New York Times reports that State Department officials were tipped off by Facebook's new notifications when Iranian hackers compromised their Facebook accounts. The cyberattacks had targeted the email addresses and social media accounts of staffers who focused on Iran and the Middle East.
"It was very carefully designed and showed the degree to which they understood which of our staff was working on Iran issues now that the nuclear deal is done," one senior government official told the New York Times. "It was subtle."
Once notified by Facebook, the State Department discovered further cyber espionage and surveillance efforts. Facebook deployed the new alerts, which specifically warn users if their account has fallen prey to a state-sponsored attack, in October.
Left unclear is just how robust the State Department's own cyber defenses are and how proactive it is in steeling itself against external threats–especially given that this particular attack was detected through a Facebook product designed to protect a corporation's customers.
An audit of the State Department's cybersecurity, which wrapped up earlier this month, found fault with the way it protects its information. Though the audit noted that the State Department has made major strides in recent years, the heavily redacted report said its systems are not in compliance with multiple government standards.

Hell's Ground DVD Review – A Pakistani Movie that Proves Horror Teens Are Dumb in Any Culture
Hell's Ground DVD Review – A Pakistani Movie that Proves Horror Teens Are Dumb in Any Culture" width="560″/>
Pakistan is probably the last place on earth from which you'd expect a bloody, bruising, gut-crunching horror flick to emerge, but June 24 sees the domestic DVD release of Hell's Ground, a movie that has become Pakistan's most infamous motion picture export. Ice cream mogul and Pakistani film historian, Omar Khan, made this gory Texas Chainsaw Massacre -meets-the-Taliban flick on Hi-Def video with money from the Mondo Macabro video label, which specializes in rescuing Indonesian, Bollywood and Filipino horror films from obscurity. The film is overflowing with burqa-clad, mace-swinging lunatics, zombies and a gaggle of teens who head out to a rock concert and take a detour that leads them… into hell. Stuffed with old school Pakistani actors (such as Rehan from the 1967 musical version of Dracula, Zinda Lash) and soaked in gore scored from local butcher shops, this movie shows a side of Pakistan you won't find on CNN or the Discovery Channel.
Shooting during the rainy season when the Pakistani countryside erupts into radioactive green, with wild marijuana plants growing up to 10 feet tall, Khan managed to round up an impressive cast and crew for his flick, most of whom were eager to do something new. The plot is bare bones simple: Five teenagers who want to go to a rock concert hit the road in their Mystery Van. A protest against polluted drinking water is blocking their way, so they take an ill-advised detour through the countryside. Turns out that the problem with the drinking water is that it's been turning people into zombies. On top of that, there's a mysterious killer hidden inside a bloody burqa racing through the forest who wants to introduce his cast-iron mace to everyone's face. As buckets of blood fly from the screen, we learn an important lesson in geopolitics: Teenagers in horror movies are dumb in every country and in every culture.
Pakistan has a long history of horror, ranging all the way back into the '70s and '80s when movies like Adam Khor
rocked the box office. Director-historian Khan has said, "We don't have
songs or comedy sequences, none of the prerequisites of the South Asian
film. It's a complete ripping up of what's expected from local
Hell's Ground never got a formal release in
Pakistan, but it played plenty of illicit engagements and young people
flocked to it in riot-sized mobs. They took it to India, and young
people flocked to it there. In New York, where I programmed it as part
of the New York Asian Film Festival,
we were blown away when over a 100 well-dressed Pakistani kids showed
up at the movie's midnight show and proceeded to embrace this film like
a political cause. And, in a way, it is a political movie.
Bollywood and Lollywood film industries are conservative enterprises,
aimed at making innocuous, middle-brow entertainment that goes down as
smoothly as pudding. Horror movies are genuinely transgressive in
Pakistan and still have the power to shock: They're rowdy, they attract
crowds of teenagers and, therefore, they come with the whiff of danger.
Had it been made in Ohio, Hell's Ground might just seem like
another slasher flick, but in Pakistan it has near-revolutionary
potential, luring young viewers with its siren call of blood, and
energy and taboo-smashing fun. And beyond the giddy mix of politics and
horror, there are even more nefarious attractions in Hell's Ground
to lure the unwary and smash them over the head. While the movie may
not feature the world's first Muslim zombies, it definitely features
the world's first Muslim dwarf zombies. And that's something you're never going to find at your local multiplex.
Grady Hendrix is one of the founders and programmers of the New York Asian Film Festival. He writes about Asian film for Variety at Kaiju Shakedown and should have found something better to do with his life by now.Read More

Today, Indiana University (IU), Northwestern University, Purdue University, Rutgers University-New Brunswick and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln announce the launch and activation of OmniSOC, a specialized, sector-based cyber Security Operations Center (SOC) that provides trusted, rapid, actionable cyber intelligence to its members.
The OmniSOC is a pioneering initiative of these Big Ten Academic Alliance universities with a goal to help higher education institutions reduce the time from first awareness of a cybersecurity threat anywhere to mitigation everywhere for members.
"With tens of thousands of students, faculty and staff, university campuses are really like small cities, with sensitive data and powerful computing systems that are coveted by cyber criminals," said Tom Davis, OmniSOC founding executive director and chief information security officer. "Protecting hundreds of thousands of devices and critical data requires expertise, systems, policies and rapid response when new vulnerabilities become known. While campus-by-campus approaches are essential, they are not sufficient for the sophistication of modern cyber risks. The OmniSOC enhances the work of local security professionals to provide greater real-time, sophisticated threat detection, analysis and action for our members."
The OmniSOC is based at Indiana University and leverages two decades of experience and capabilities from the 24/7 Global Research Network Operations Center (GlobalNOC), which provides services to government, research and education networks across the nation. Using real-time security information data feeds from each member campus, as well as governmental and corporate security subscriptions, the OmniSOC identifies suspicious and malicious activity requiring mitigation and provides rapid incident response through human analysis and machine learning.
OmniSOC has chosen the Elastic Stack as its security analytics platform. The Elastic Stack is used to ingest, correlate and analyze vast quantities of information to detect and hunt for cyber threats to member systems.
"Higher education is for the most part an open environment, so we often see cyber crimes that others have not," said Greg Hedrick, chief information security officer at Purdue University. "By allowing us to monitor across higher education, OmniSOC helps to improve our capabilities to identify and react more quickly to these bad actors. My hope is that this information can be shared with others outside of our community in order to protect the entire ecosystem."
Davis says that in the years to come, OmniSOC plans to expand membership beyond the Big Ten Academic Alliance as it scales up services.

Wareham Village is in the middle of a transformation, and it's not all good. It certainly looks much better, thanks to a $911 thousand federal Community Development Block Grant for Phase 1 of a makeover.
Free pizza from Minerva's (quite good, in fact) was a very good reason to be on the sidewalk during Wareham Village's Main Street Madness event on Friday.
The vagrant with the bottle in the bag also had a good reason to be on the sidewalk, blocking the door to Harry Irving's hair salon, Gone Hollywood. Where else was he going to go?
Harry made him move, so the man moved — leaving his bottle and a puddle by the door to remember him by.
Wareham Village is in the middle of a transformation, and it's not all good.
It certainly looks much better, thanks to a $911 thousand federal Community Development Block Grant for Phase 1 of a four-phase makeover.
Now there are bricked "bump-outs" along the sidewalks, which makes it easier for pedestrians but not for people looking for a place to park. Irving said he counted the loss of 15 on-street parking spots.
Error: Embedded data could not be displayed.
There are saplings in planters and a few trash bins (but not enough). The new tire-clipping granite curbs look trim, the pavement is new, many signs are new and a renovated parking lot has been expanded by eight spots to 20.
Phase 2 will take this the rest of the way toward Besse Park on one end, or toward the fire station on the other.
The women form Eastern Bank who were working the monthly festival were extremely upbeat about everything. "It's bringing back so many people," said Heather Johnson. "And I think it feels safer. I used to walk to school through here and it's definitely safer."
"A lot of it is what you make of it," said Eastern branch manager Rose Berry. "I think it looks beautiful." As for complaints, she said, "It's what you make of it."
And people are coming back, she said. "We gave out 600 slices of pizza" during last month's event.
Martha Smith doesn't have a complaint, exactly. For her, it's over. She is closing up her once-successful jewelry and gift shop of nine years, Sail Away Studios, and moving to Florida to start again.
With the construction during the spring, customers couldn't get to her. "I lost all of April and half of May," she said. The prospect of two more construction seasons was simply too much. She's done.
She squarely blames the road project. While the end result is beautiful, she said, "people got out of the habit of coming here and driving down Main Street. Many customers were so bummed that they stopped coming because they could never find a parking place."
Maybe shoppers aren't returning in droves quite yet, but other people are. Irving, who has been downtown 24 years, said, "Ever since the '70s and late '80s the number of businesses has declined, as has the clientele."
Panhandlers routinely accost his customers, he said. "I don't want them being intimidated. They get yelled and screamed at. I don't want my clients being hit up for money."
The icing on the cake is that a second village pawnshop is trying to establish itself right across the street from Gone Hollywood.
There are other problems, too. At the Sail Away Studios, Darlene Hume said that the sidewalk bump-outs will make it much more difficult to plow snow, because unlike parked cars they cannot be towed out of the way.
And with a hospital at one end of Main Street and a fire station at the other, emergency vehicles have to navigate a tight squeeze and motorists can't possibly get out of the way. The rest of the day, vehicles creep through, occasionally clipping each other's side mirrors.
There's talk of making Main Street one-way and rear Main Street one-way back, which will be OK with Irving "if they can keep it clean. Every time there's a cleanup, a week later it's all back again."
I've watched downtown New Bedford experience a rebirth over the past two decades, and it's clear that Wareham Village has many of the same problems in a smaller form that New Bedford had, or still has.
If the businesses can survive another two seasons of construction, and the village association keeps up the pace, there is no reason why Wareham Village can't reclaim its appeal and its self-image the way New Bedford did.

Seeking your feedback: Do customers use localized versions of the grammar checker ?
The natural languages group (NLG) is seeking feedback about localized versions of the grammar checkers (GC). These are the grammar checkers that have the grammar rule explanations in a different language then the install language.
Going forward, they are working on better tools for non-native speakers.
From one of the Program Managers
The localized version has the brief explanations localized in a different language than the one from the GC itself.
Imagine that you want to write in German, you use the German grammar checker, and it flags and suggests some corrections… instead of having the information in German, you would have it in English.
The problems are that the GC is not targeting non native speakers so the explanations are not necessarily improving the user experience. In addition, if they write in a language with enough skills to use the GC, they should be able to read the explanations in that language as well.
Any feedback from the viewing audience ?

Leicester 1 - Copenhagen 0: Riyad Mahrez winner leaves Foxes on verge of progression
LEICESTER hung on to continue their Champions League winning streak after a heroic save from Kasper Schmeichel in the dying minutes
The Algerian, who was rested in the 3-0 defeat by Chelsea as the Foxes continue to find domestic drudge something of a chore, came alive with his third goal of the European campaign to give Claudio Ranieri's men a perfect start in Group G.
As if to underline their new- found energy, his first-half flick from the outside of his left boot was set up by a header from Islam Slimani, another who was rested at the weekend.
Ranieri's priority appears to be vindicated with this win as his side need perhaps just a point from their remaining three games to be sure of progression.
It is only then that Ranieri's attentions can return to the grind of securing safety in the Premier League – seen by some as a disappointingly pragmatic approach after last season's fairy-tale.
Copenhagen arrived on the crest of an unbeaten run of 23 matches in all competitions stretching back to the final games of last season.
In the early exchanges they demonstrated accurate passing allied to two the twin threats of battering ram forwards Federico Santander and Andreas Cornelius.
They were more than a handful even for the muscular centre-half partnership of Robert Huth and Wes Morgan in the early stages, and with Slovenia international Benjamin Verbic pulling strings behind, Copenhagen made the brighter start.
Kasper Schmeichel was forced into action as early as the second minute when Santander bundled a ball from Peter Ankersen on the right side of the area towards his near post but the Leicester keeper smothered the shot.
Riyad Mahrez has now scored three goals in the Champions League this season
After 23 minutes the same forward got off a low, if slightly underpowered, shot from the edge of the box that the Schmeichel again covered.
Leicester's most promising play came when the midfield managed to utilise Jamie Vardy's pace. The striker, who scored 24 Premier League goals last season, may be going through something of a trough yet he looked hungry last night and after half an hour of tireless running it was no surprise that the breakthrough involved him – even though the goal was made in Algeria.
With 40 minutes on the clock Marc Albrighton and Christian Fuchs combined on the left to get the ball to the striker where Vardy cut back on to his right foot and lofted the ball over to Slimani on the right side of the box.
Slimani's header was squared across the six-yard line to Mahrez who had cleverly slipped the attentions of Mathias Jorgensen and he shot mid-air with the outside of his left foot.
Kasper Schmeichel pulled off a tremendous save late on to secure the three points
Stung by their lapse, the Danes almost equalised two minutes later. Youssef Toutouh was unlucky when he shot from distance, Morgan deflecting his effort over the bar, but Cornelius should have buried the resulting corner.
After the break, Cornelius deflected a goal-bound shot with a back-heel only to find Schmeichel equal to the task.
Slimani was also unlucky to have a goal ruled out, bundling the ball in at second attempt after dazzling work from Albrighton and Fuchs, only to be wrongly ruled offside.
LEICESTER (4-4-2): Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez (Amartey 90), King, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Slimani (Ulloa 88), Vardy (Okazaki 85). Booked: Fuchs. Goal: Mahrez 40.
COPENHAGEN (4-4-2): Olsen; Ankersen (Gregus 87), Jorgensen, Johansson, Augustinsson; Verbic (Jensen 66), Kvist, Delaney, Toutouh (Pavlovic 85); Santander, Cornelius.

August light
It starts to show that summer is slowly coming to an end. The sun has a different angle and sets earlier again. The light is warmer. August, in other words.
I noticed the light falling on the fly curtain, beautiful patches of light playing around, chasing each other.
The light proved difficult to catch in two dimensions. I tried some approaches, but it was not showing these light patches that I was looking for. I was too close, so there was to much detail, the patches got lost somehow. But taking more distance did not work either.
Then I realised that, if the sun was on the fly curtain, I would have it in backlight if I changed my angle.
That would not be what attracted me in the first place, but it might work.
I took one picture, that was enough.
It is ok for me.
