Kobe got a new bike for his birthday.
Yes, mom the push over has been letting him ride it already.
But, if you think that is bad ask Ben about the BB Gun he bought him THE MINUTE I CROSSED OVER STATE LINES IN THE PLANE ON THE WAY TO FLORIDA.
Regardless, let's start over.
Kobe got a new bike for his birthday.
He decided he wanted to sell his old bike. On Sunday afternoon he cleaned up his bike, made a sign, and Kobe and Ben set it up out by the road.
While Ben cleaned the garage Kobe sat in a little chair watching his bike.
He counted how many people looked at it as they drove by.
One car pulled in...it ended up they just needed to turn around.
You could see Kobe was very disappointed.
He sat.
I actually kinda wanted to keep the bike for the next kid who needed a bike that size so I was thinking about buying it from Kobe. That would make 2 times I have bought that bike!
But, a couple minutes later Kobe ran in the house with a hand full of money and the biggest grin on his face.
Ben had asked him if he would sell it to me and Kobe's reply was "I want to give it two days and if it doesn't sell mom can buy it".
And then a woman pulled in who said she had just ran over her nephew's bike and bought Kobe's bike to give to him.
Kobe was so excited.
It meant so much more to him to sell the bike to a stranger, and not to mom.
I have to admit, I felt like God brought that lady along to encourage Kobe.
Thanks, God, for the little things.

Lamb necks, an underappreciated cut, are fantastic when braised, such as in this homey stew from Boston chef Tony Maws. The meat gets succulent and tender as it cooks in the slightly sweet braising liquid flavored with white wine and fresh herbs, while the neck bones, in turn, intensify and flavor the broth. Slideshow: Lamb Recipes
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 300°. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. In a casserole, heat the oil, add the lamb and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until browned, 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the casserole. Add the celery, carrot, onion, turnip, tomato paste and anchovy and cook, stirring, until the vegetables just start to soften. Stir in the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the stock, raisins and herb bundle and bring to a boil.
Return the lamb to the casserole, cover and braise in the oven for 2 hours, until the meat is very tender. Discard the herb bundle and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Make Ahead
Serve With
Buttered noodles.

Tottenham want to steal Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila from under the noses of London rivals QPR after losing Sandro for the rest of the season the Daily Mail report.
The 23-year-old Brazilian was substituted in last week's 0-0 draw against Rangers and the extent of the damage was revealed Friday after he underwent surgery on his right knee.
Despite already having midfielders Scott Parker, Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore in place Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas is keen to push ahead with a move for M'Vila after being knocked back in his attempt to speed up Lewis Holtby's summer arrival from Schalke.
The France international, who is rated at knock down £8 million, has been locked in negotiations with Harry Redknapp's side for much of January, but there is doubt as to whether he wants to sign for a club struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table, and Villas-Boas is ready to nip in with a bid and tempt him to White Hart Lane.
Russian giants Rubin Kazan are also interested in signing the talented 22-year-old and have tabled a lucrative financial package but his desire to play in England effectively rules them out of the race, while Everton reportedly harbour ambitions of bringing him to Goodison Park on loan.

The Geekly with a Twist: August 31st-September 6th
Muahahahah! I come to you now without even the aid of computer! I have perfected the mind-to-computer connection! Okay, so I'm full of it. But I AM away from my computer on vacation. So! I'm actually writing this on what is a full 5 days before my vacation (and over a week before this is being published). Time travel! Voila! Okay, so, I warned you, full of it. Regardless, I hope you all are having an amazing week here in the future and now, onward with the history!
August 31st, 1962: The voice actor behind characters in works ranging from Star Wars: The Clone Wars to Halo and Adventure Time with Finn and Jake (among many other things), Dee Bradley Baker is born in Bloomington, Indiana.
September 1st, 1875: Edgar Rice Burroughs (the author behind Tarzan and, of course, John Carter in case you've not been paying attention) is born in Chicago, Illinois. (Did you know? We have A Princess of Mars in The Library!)
September 1st, 1902: Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip or Voyage to the Moon in English) is released in France. This black-and-white silent film is considered the first SciFi film (it was loosely based off of Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and H.G. Wells' The First Men in the Moon).

September 1st, 1942: Hugo Award-winning SciFi author C.J. Cherryh is born in St. Louis, Missouri. (Did you know? She went by her initials because SciFi was a male-dominated field and the 'h' at the end of her name was added to avoid sounding too much like a romance novel writer.)
September 1st, 1959: A man of amazing artistic talent, Joe Jusko is born in New York City. (Psst, in related news, I totally need this: a book of artwork based on the works of a man who shares this birthday.)

September 3rd, 1974: Known for her role as the Buffy villain Glory, Clare Kramer is born in Atlanta, Georgia.
September 4th, 1968: The voice behind Bender and Jake the Dog (from Adventure Time), John DiMaggio is born in North Plainfield, New Jersey.

Want to know more of what happened on these dates in geek history? Check out:
So, since I'm in Barsoom this week and, in honor of Misters Burroughs and Jusko, how about an Iced White Ape of Barsoom for your Twist?
- 1 cup white chocolate hot cocoa
- 1 1/2 oz Irish cream
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
Mix ingredients while cocoa is warm save for the cinnamon. Fill a glass with ice and pour in cocoa mixture. Float whipped cream on top and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon. Instead of cinnamon, you can always sprinkle it with a bit of blue colored sugar. This one is also yummy warm, as you might imagine.
And, of course, let's Garnish up the week. I'm feeling very space-y lately. As a matter of fact, between the Curiosity rover and my current trip, I've been getting really into stuff that's, well, out of this world. Because of this recent re-interest, I've found myself wasting time on a wonderful website called Space Facts. There's all sorts of fun facts, pictures, infographs, and even news and links! It's a great way to keep up with Curiosity and it's a fun way to spend the day!
So, I'm going to get back to my red soil…until next week, geek on!

11 Apr 2018 Beware the Allure of the Golden Egg
No doubt many of you are recovering from the recent Easter egg hunting season. Spring is in the air and for weeks leading up to the Easter Bunny's annual pilgrimage there were a plethora of opportunities to hide and hunt the colorful plastic orbs.
There are a wide variety of egg hunting strategies. In some cases, organizers strew thousands of eggs across an open field in plain sight and kids dash to gather as many as possible. In others, serious consideration is given to age and hunting ability with treasures artfully placed in a range of locations.
My daughter was first exposed to the Easter egg hunt in a private home setting. The family had a long tradition of massive hunts and the annual party featured a highly sought after golden egg. It was considered the bounty of the day and was coveted by young and old alike.
In an effort to get her pumped up for the festivities, I oversold the importance of the prize egg. I was trying to create fun, but my daughter took it on as a major challenge.
She showed up for the day in a fancy Easter dress with one thing on her mind. Finding that Golden Egg. When the hunt started she passed by every single other brightly colored egg she encountered.
I was worried and tried to coax her into enjoying the process and all the opportunities to collect a variety of eggs. I felt she was heading toward an empty basket and disappointment. I knew there would be crying and a learning opportunity in all of this and I began crafting all that I would say about this experience. But then-
She found it. The golden egg was hers. In her mind, mission accomplished.
That was the last time she ever captured the elusive prize and it tainted her egg hunting for years to come. For several years after, no matter the hunting ground, she always went only seeking the golden egg and she never got lucky again.
The allure of a golden egg can impact nonprofit organizations as well. Sometimes we are so busy looking for the next big donor, idea or board member that we lose sight of all smaller equally valuable treasures along the way.
Just like a well -hidden egg, there are many in our community who might be hiding in plain sight and are very willing to help in creating the vision of our organizations. The key to successful engagement is finding ways to include a diverse group of people in our causes and missions. We can't do that with a tunnel vision approach. We need to seek out others who may not be right in front of us.
There is no doubt that Southwest Florida is blessed with volunteers, business leaders and philanthropists who have taken front facing leadership roles and are sought out for advice, board seats and funding.
But we have to caution ourselves from being blinded by the golden egg mentality, and find ways to fill our proverbial resource baskets with people who are inspired by our work and have a willingness to share something of themselves with us. People of diverse backgrounds, ages and viewpoints. Non-profits need many resources to be healthy, not just financial.
There is nothing wrong with the golden egg moments and when they happen should be celebrated. Just don't miss out on the full experience of the hunt.
The Southwest Florida Community Foundation, founded in 1976, cultivates regional change for the common good through collective leadership, social innovation and philanthropy to address the evolving community needs in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties. The Foundation partners with individuals, families and corporations who have created more than 400 philanthropic funds. Thanks to them, the Foundation invested $5.4 million in grants and programs to the community. With assets of $115 million, it has provided more than $71 million in grants and scholarships to the communities it serves since inception. The Foundation is the backbone organization for the regional FutureMakers Coalition and Lee County's Sustainability Plan. Currently, the Southwest Florida Community Foundation's regional headquarters are located off College Parkway in South Fort Myers, with satellite offices located on Sanibel Island, in LaBelle (Hendry County) and downtown Fort Myers.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Today we welcomed Lizzie Marvelly to St Hilda's. As an accomplished singer/songwriter and performer Lizzie spent some time talking to choir members this morning before presenting to Year 11-13 students. Lizzie spoke about her life journey in the music industry, her development of the #mybodymyterms campaign and the establishment of her website www.villainesse.com. Villainesse is an online media project aiming to create smart, no-filter media by and for young women. Combining the high-level student journalism of late secondary and tertiary students with stories by inspirational figures, Villainesse aims to cater for the leaders of the future, encouraging young women to think critically about the world around them, celebrate their intelligence and support each other. In short, Villainesse is on a mission to empower young women. Lizzie spoke on a range of topics and was then interviewed with a Q & A session by Nicola Wilson-Stewart, our Board of Trustees Student Representative. The senior girls were very receptive and enjoyed having the chance to listen to Lizzie – we were very lucky that she was able to make the time to visit us, while in Dunedin to sing the national anthem for the All Blacks test tomorrow night.

About half the time, my 15 year old eats like a 5 year old. She's never been a big eater anyhow, and she still kind of grazes all day long.
But, since she has a lot on her schedule with her college classes, I usually make her food so I can be sure she will eat. And finger foods are *still* the way to go with her.
In the homemade lunchable, I went with her favorite items. I rolled deli ham and skewered it with picks, then chunked up some marble cheese (I think it was cheddar jack). To that, we added some green grapes, and a whole bunch of Cheese It Grooves crackers in white cheddar.
Since this is really not enough food, she also took a yogurt drink for the morning, along with a cereal bar, some applesauce, and a small packet of cookies to eat between classes.
Lunch is packed in one of our EasyLunches Snack Boxes.

Spoiler alert: If you have maintained any illusions that your drains are magical tubes that "disappear" inconveniences, I'm about to ruin them for you. Look away! Flush and run!
It is more pleasant not to think about what happens to the expired Children's Motrin you pour down the drain, what the Liquid Plum'r really does, or where the Tide with Bleach Powder goes. But there are so many of us on the planet sharing a shrinking space that we all need to think about what we are dumping and where. Continue reading

text: Benefits of joining the Four Delta Yankee Flying Club 24/7 Online Booking – The club has run an online booking system since 2001. You never need worry about calling. Self Dispatch – You do not have to check in with any front-desk staff to go flying. Like any owner, as long as the plane is available you are free to fly it. That does not mean that we do not have re-currency requirements though, because we do. Overnight & Extended Rentals – This is without doubt one of the major reasons cited by new members as to why they joined the club. Our extended trip requirements are designed to encourage members to take the plane places not discourage them. At 3 hours minimum per day for each day away from home field I think you will agree that we offer one of the best deals going on this front. Availability – All that means nothing if you cannot get a plane when you want one. Ever notice that most times school planes are booked by students. That is great when you are a student. How about once you have earned your license though? We do not run a flying school which means that you are not competing with ab initio students. And just as important, we do not have dispatchers that want to see an instructor in the right seat. Heck, we don't even have a dispatcher. That does not mean that you cannot work towards a higher rating though, such as a night rating or commercial license – you can. It simply means that our emphasis is on meeting your needs not those of primary flight students. Mentorship – We are big believers in the benefits of mentorship. Our membership includes pilots with a wide range of experience from newly minted to Airline Transport. Many of our more experienced pilots really enjoy sharing a flight with less experienced pilots. It is the perfect win-win scenario. By sharing the cost, both pilots get to fly more and to further destinations. Those that have been there and done that get to share their knowledge. Those that have not, get an opportunity to expand their horizons with the peace of mind that comes from flying with an experienced co-pilot. Keep in the Loop – Ever felt that you are on your own when it comes to keeping up with regulatory changes? We can help there too. We have regular meetings where we invite guest speakers to discuss topics of interest and issues of safety. Thinking of becoming an instructor? Why not offer to put together a presentation and present it yourself? Social Events – What would piloting be without a little hangar flying eh? In addition to our club meetings we try to have at least one social event each year that you can bring your family and friends to.

I ended last week with music, and I'm starting this week with it as well. Sometimes you just need a lot of music to block out all the other stuff, am I right?
This post is, as you can tell from the title, all covers. I love cover songs. When they're done well, they're often as good as or better than the original. It's one of the reasons I watched Glee for so long. This is a just a bunch of really great cover versions of popular songs. Enjoy!
Army of 3 – We Found Love (original by Rihanna)
This is a little side project of Ingrid Michaelson's, who I've been listening to for years. I actually really don't like most Rihanna songs, but I never minded this one. See also the Glee version, which features some snazzy synchronised swimming. This song always peps me up, and I love Ingrid's voice layered over and over again.
John Mayer – XO (original by Beyonce)
You will surely have seen this posted by one of your friends in your Facebook feeds in the last week or so, yes? Mayer is great at covers, and this one is no exception. I love the softer flow of the song compared to Beyonce's original (which I wholeheartedly love). Mayer also does a cover of Tom Petty's Free Fallin' that is so smooth and chilled out, which has been on my iPod for years.
Ellie Goulding – The Cave (original by Mumford & Sons)
I saw Ellie Goulding two weeks ago at Festival Hall in Melbourne and can assure you that she sounds exactly like she does on the radio. Her voice is something else – sweet, ethereal and melodic, but it packs a hell of a punch. This live cover of one of my favourite bands is really great, as is basically everything on this list of her covers. She sang Elton John's Your Song at the concert and it was lovely.
Joshua Radin – Only You (original by The Platters)
My favourite singer. This fast-paced version of The Platters' original song is catchy, but still has Radin's signature understated whisper-rock vocals. The quick rhythm of the background melody takes it from being a cover of a nice song to a fresh new take on a classic. Radin always does a cover of a Bob Dylan song at his live shows, but he's also done a cover of Barry White's You're The First, My Last, My Everything that is beautiful, and if you're a Scrubs fan you might remember his version of the Sesame Street theme song that is so melancholic it's worth checking out.
Haim ft. Lorde – Strong Enough (original by Sheryl Crow)
This is my favourite Sheryl Crow song, and while I don't think Haim are the most polished of live singers, this version of the song is fantastic. The heavy beat of the drum and the electric guitar, plus Lorde's vocals give the song a new dimension while still retaining the simplicity of the original.
Cam Nacson & Bec Quinn – Wake Me Up (original by Avicii)
This cover from Sydney singer Cam Nacson was brought to my attention by Kimberley from Pop Couture and it is amazing. An acoustic, indie version of a dance song? Yes, please. He's also done a gorgeous cover of Adele's Someone Like You that is so, so worth the listen.
Got any other covers you think I should hear?
Until next time,Share this post:

This week at All Aces our Brisbane office sent technician Abe to a residential carpet clean nearby in Balmoral.
Whilst there, our client approached Abe and asked him some questions regarding her treasured lamp shade.
As you can see in the before photos there was a large water stain that had turned brown and our client was debating whether or not it was time to dispose of it. Abe informed our client that didn't need to happen as we could give antique lamp shades a new lease of life. Due to its history and age he was not confident in cleaning it on site so the antique lamp was brought back to our factory in Murarrie. Our lead factory technician Phil, not only had the experience but the knowledge and equipment better suited for the job. Phil completed a few spot test cleans to make sure he was using the correct method for the type of material the lamp was made of and the colourings. Once a cleaning plan was established he pre vacuumed the lamp shade to ensure as much dust and dirt particles were removed before the cleaning process could commence.
A specific oxidising agent was then sprayed over the problem areas and left for a while to dissolve the staining. A special upholstery cleaning tool then simultaneously rinsed and extracted water and chemicals from the lamp. A dry padding technique was then used to make sure any excess water and dirt was removed. Phil then placed the lamp shade in front of a high speed fan for some time to complete the process. The fan was used to ensure the area was dried as quickly as possible to prevent more browning stains and watermarks.
Stunning Antique Lamp Shades
By looking at the after photos it is obvious that this beloved family heirloom has now been resorted to its former glory. When our customer was phoned to be notified the job was completed she couldn't wait to see it. Upon her arrival to our factory for collection she was beside herself with tears of joy and could not thank our technicians enough for the fantastic end result.
Before deciding something is non restorable and ready for the trash, think twice. All Aces services technicians have a vast spectrum of knowledge and experience in cleaning just about anything in your home, commercial business, car or boat. Please phone us and ask one of our friendly staff members any questions you may have 24 hours a day 7 days a week on 1800 00 10 10.

7 Powerful Health Benefits of Pomegranate
Health Benefits of Pomegranate
Pomegranate is one of the native fruits form Iran to the Himalayas of northern India that is cultivated over the wide range of climatic conditions, and the fruits of this neat rounded shrub or the small tree, has a tough leathery rind skin, which is typically yellow to bright red or deep pink to rich red.
The interior of the fruit in separated by some white spongy tissue and is divided into compartments by these bitter tissue, that are sweetly sacs covering the seeds embedded into these tissues and are filled with sweet acid, juicy, red, whitish or pink pulp. The seeds could be hard and softer depending on the variety of the fruit.
Talking of the health benefits of pomegranate, the wonder fruit, that has a place in the Holy Book in one of the prominent religions, The Bible for Christianity, is an area of many researchers for finding active ingredients that might be used to treat ailments and increase the pomegranate health benefits.
Disease Fighting Antioxidants
One of the major pomegranate health benefits is the presence of antioxidants that are thrice more than that of green tea and red wine. This makes them stand ahead in front of these drinks and is also much cheaper and is easily available for layman to experience one of most important health benefits of pomegranate. This is because antioxidants are effective in fighting against free radicals and are quite unstable and are high oxidative capable of damaging DNA, that is responsible for aging process and cancer initiation.
Heart Health Benefits of Pomegranate
Pomegranate health benefits is not restricted to the whole body, and this is a news to me also, that the fruit I love and relish the most has one of the most important health benefits of making your heart good and safe. A study has been reported in National Academy of Sciences that pomegranate health benefits will aid in fighting the hardening of arteries and related diseases like heart attacks and strokes, and therefore, prevents many of the coronary heart diseases. They reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which causes plaque formation.
Pomegranate to Fight Osteoarthritis
The pomegranate extracts has the ability to fight osteoarthritis, has been found to control the inflammation responses by cutting down the levels of interleukin-1b, and stops the synthesis of the enzymes that has been identified to reduce and erode cartilage. They also aid in maintaining the integrity and function of the joints and inflammatory responses.
Pomegranate to Prevent Prostate Cancer
One of the most important pomegranate health benefits for men, for which many of them will be grateful is in reducing the risk of fighting against cancer, by either having surgery done, and has been found to prevent the spread of cancer beyond prostate and lengthen the time for spread, giving time to find the most appropriate treatment. This, in fact in the end can reduce the cancer fighting cells in the initial stages. Thanks, to the antioxidant properties of the fruits!
Daily Nutrient Supplements
One of the important health benefits of pomegranate that makes this fruit to be essential part of the diet for leading normal healthy life is that because they can fulfill most of the daily recommended dietary requirements.
Some of the important nutrient components that can be obtained from this fruit are potassium, vitamin A, B vitamins like niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5) and folic acid (B9). Other vitamins will include vitamin C, vitamin E and iron. In addition, the seeds contain enough fiber that can help you in pacifying your appetite.
Moreover, as mentioned elsewhere they are rich in antioxidants, of which, the main ones are vitamin C and vitamin E, while some of the other antioxidants are polyphenols, anthocyanins, tannins, punicalagin and ellagic acid all this can prevent the oxidation of the free radicals oxidation.
Breast Cancer and Pregnancy
Pomegranate health benefits has been found to be helpful in preventing the occurrence of breast cancer as in the case of prostate cancer, and here in this case, researchers from Israel have found them to aid in reducing the cancerous cells in the breast region. Meanwhile, these active ingredients in the pomegranate juice extracts leave the healthy cells unharmed and further research is quite promising in aiding to reduce radiation and chemotherapies that can destroy the healthy cells as well.
When a woman has been forced to face trauma, the juice has been found in aiding to keep the baby safe, especially the brain of the newborns.
Pomegranate Reduces High Blood Pressure
High BP has become a common scenario with the fastly moving world, and the best way to keep the blood pressure under control is by drinking a glassful of pomegranate juice, which seems to alleviate the problem of hypertension effectively.
From the above discussion, I believe, the best way to eat this fruit is to eat the fruit as such, that is the consumable juicy sacs containing the seeds, leaving the hardy outer rind and the spongy bitter tissue, while extracts prepared with the seeds are better options.

I know last week I said we'd talk about temporary employees and FMLA–but I remembered afterward that I already blogged about that here. So let's face down that intimidating
monster challenge known as intermittent FMLA. In order to do that, we are going to return once more to Splendiferous Supermarket Inc and Betty the Boss to see how they might handle an intermittent FMLA situation–after the jump, of course…
Now, you may remember from last week that Crafty Caroline was taking intermittent FMLA (click here for review), but we really couldn't get to that issue, because it seems Caroline was abusing her FMLA leave. This week, we meet Carl the cashier ("Carl"). Carl unfortunately was diagnosed two months ago with cancer (since the type of cancer isn't really relevant to this discussion, we'll allow him that measure of privacy). Carl had just over 4 weeks' FMLA leave to recover from surgery, and he will now be receiving chemotherapy. He was told he will need 1-2 days every 6 weeks for the treatments themselves, and he may need either an additional day or two, or even to alter his work hours to deal with the nasty side-effects. Carl is still entitled to about 8 weeks' FMLA time, give or take, and wishes to have whatever time he needs off due to chemotherapy and side-effects counted against his remaining FMLA time. This is a prime example of what is known as intermittent FMLA leave–and, even in the most compelling cases, and with employers who have the best of intentions, it can feel like a big administrative headache. Carl's manager, Sally Supervisor, and Harry the Human Resources Director meet with Betty the Boss to discuss exactly how to handle this request. Let's look at some of the issues raised by Carl's situation with some questions and answers:
Can an employee take continuous and then intermittent FMLA for the same condition? Yes, particularly if the health care provider's certification indicates that both types of leave are or may be required, then this is permissible under the FMLA. Suppose, in our hypothetical case, Carl's doctor did not indicate a need for additional intermittent leave beyond the initial four weeks. What should Splendiferous do? The most appropriate step would be for Splendiferous to require an additional certification from Carl's doctor relating to the additional, intermittent leave.
If Carl has 8 weeks of leave time left and uses it intermittently, he might not exhaust it all within 12 months. At what point if any, can Splendiferous require Carl to re-request FMLA leave? Generally, establishment of Carl's eligibility is applied at the time of his first application for FMLA leave. At that time, Splendiferous would presumably have established that Carl had worked at least 1250 hours within the preceding 12 months. If Carl is dealing with the same health condition within that 12-month period following the start of his first, continuous leave, Splendiferous cannot make Carl re-request FMLA leave time during that 12-month period–even though later on in that 12-month period, Carl might not meet the 1250-hour requirement. However, some courts have held that after the expiration of that initial 12-month period, Splendiferous could require a new request, with a determination of Carl's eligibility for FMLA at that time.
Would Carl have had to be physically at work for at least 1250 hours in the months preceding the start of his leave? With employees who regularly or even occasionally are allowed to work remotely, all hours that they actually work, even if completed from home or some other location count as hours worked, and help satisfy the 1250-hour minimum requirement. In Carl's case, however, it is unlikely that he, as a cashier, would be able to work remotely, and so he would have to actually have been present at the store to have worked. In addition, paid or unpaid leave of any type, such as vacation, sick leave, jury service, etc. are not counted as hours worked.
What if, Carl has had 6 chemotherapy treatments, taken intermittent leave related to those treatments, and then, unfortunately gets pneumonia, and requests FMLA leave time for that? Assuming he is still within the 12 months of his first FMLA leave request, can Splendiferous count back 12 months from this new request to see if Carl has worked the requisite 1250 hours to be eligible for FMLA leave? Maybe. It depends on whether the pneumonia is related to his cancer or cancer treatments. If the pneumonia is unrelated, and if in the immediately preceding 12 months Carl does not have the requisite 1250 hours Splendiferous might be within its rights to deny Carl FMLA leave for the pneumonia. Splendiferous should then consult with competent employment counsel to see if Carl might be entitled to leave as a reasonable accommodation under the ADAAA though. Also, if the pneumonia arose because Carl's immune system was compromised as a result of his chemotherapy, Carl might have a valid argument that the pneumonia is related to the cancer and Splendiferous may not be entitled to look back at the immediately preceding 12 months and deny Carl's request if he has not worked at least 1250 hours.
These are just some intermittent FMLA issues that Splendiferous and all employers will face. There are a number of others, and so, I will devote one more post next week to touch on some other intermittent FMLA issues. That means that we will return once more to Splendiferous Supermarket, Carl the Cashier, and, of course, Betty the Boss, since they have been kind enough to let me use them as an illustrative tool in our understanding intermittent FMLA. See you next week!

Full speech of Daphna Golan inciting Palestinian battle against Israel, the U.N Question of Palestine Forum in Istanbul. Dr. Daphna Golan [Law, Hebrew University] http://law.huji.ac.il/eng/merkazim.asp?cat=1982&in=531
Sharing Jerusalem in justice and peace-
A call for truth and reconciliation in Sheikh Jarah
Daphna Golan
These days, Jerusalem- the holy city for Jews, Christians and Muslims is a city of
fear and uncertainty- a city divided between Israelis, for whom the city is planned, and
Palestinians, whom the State of Israel views as foreigners in their own homes. After the
occupation of the Palestinian Territories by Israel in 1967, West Jerusalem tripled its size,
swallowing up East Jerusalem as well as 28 Palestinian villages around it. On the lands
confiscated from Palestinians some 200,000 Israelis live in settlements built for Jews
only, while not a single neighborhood has been built for Palestinians- even though they are
more than 300,000 people- more than a third of Jerusalemites. There is no master plan in
Palestinian East Jerusalem, and construction permits are very scarce. Yet there are tens of demolitions of homes built without a permit every year. Palestinian Jerusalemites are
disconnected from most of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who are not
allowed to enter Jerusalem, their religious, cultural, economic and political center.
During recent years the discrimination in the city becomes evident, where the
municipality invests four times more in a Jewish student than in an Arab students (557 NIS
versus 2,372 NIS), where thousands of Palestinian students even 8 and 9 years old do not
go to school as there is no room for them in schools. In Jerusalem even the rain water is not distributed equally between Jews and Arabs, and more than half of the Palestinians in the city are not connected to running water.
It is not enough, however, to name, shame and blame Israel for its policy in
Jerusalem. In order to bring change to Jerusalem to offer hope for peace and justice- we
need a vision of shared Jerusalem and much efforts on behalf of the international
How do we imagine Jerusalem of peace? Our future vision of Jerusalem is connected
to the past, to years of occupation by empires, years of wars years in which millions of
people around the world dream Jerusalem.
Here in Turkey, it would be appropriate to think about the house of Um Nabil in
Sheikh Jarrah in which Jewish settlers now live to begin to hope for a different future. For
proofs of ownership of land and houses, official Ottoman deeds are debated in Israeli
courts – transferring a political debate about the future of Jerusalem into a legal battles
which Palestinians keep losing.
In the last months at the heart of Jerusalem, a walking distance from the UN office,
from the American consulate and from most of the European consulates, three Palestinian
families were evicted from their homes, and live in the street while Jewish settlers moved
in. Twenty four other families including Um Nabil's Al Kurd family received eviction
orders following court cases in which a Jewish organization claimed to own the houses
before the 1948 War .
Yet in Sheikh Jarrah, Israelis and Palestinians are protesting against the evictions
while seeds of partnership between Israelis and Palestinians are beginning to sprout.
Could you help Um Nabil who was evicted from her house in Haifa in 1948, to stop
living in fear of second eviction in Sheikh Jarrah? Maybe instead of more UN committees
and more UN reports you could help create truth committees that would allow Um Nabil to
tell her story of her first eviction from her house in Haifa in 1948, how she settled with
other 27 Palestinian families of refugees, in Sheikh Jarrah, and why she thinks that another
Jewish settlement at the heart of Palestinian East Jerusalem will create more tensions and
hate in the city.
Like most Palestinians, the people in Sheikh Jarrah who were evicted form their
houses, and those who receive eviction orders- are refugees who were displaced from their houses and lands in 1948 when the state of Israel was established.
Israeli law does not recognize the right of Palestinians to sue in a similar manner for the return of their properties which they lost during the 1948 War, in West Jerusalem in particular and in Israel in general.
It is time to stop all demolitions of homes in Jerusalem, all evictions of Palestinians
from their homes - and build together a future of peace. Truth committees, like the ones
established in South Africa and other countries in transition, might be a model to allow all
to publicly hear and learn about the history of Jerusalem, the history of the conflict, and to
search for reconciliation.
Jerusalem is a city that knew many military occupations. A city
in which Jews and Arabs, Chrisitans, Jews and Muslims always lived together. It is our
hope, all of us in Jerusalem that the policy of separation and discrimination will be over
and the city will be shared by all who live in it, in equality and peace.
Millions of Muslims Jews and Christians care for Jerusalem and its future. Let us
acknowledge Jerusalem's history, let us allow the struggle in Sheikh Jarrah to be the last
struggle between Jews and Arabs in Jerusalem. We could all live together, we should all
share the resources, the beauty the holiness of Jerusalem- for Jerusalem could and should
be a city of peace. For generations Jews prayed – next year in Jerusalem. Let's pray and
hope for Next Year in a Jerusalem that is rebuilt with equality and peace.
Why Sheikh Jarrah?

Latest News
The Hereford Badger Group held a protest yesterday (21st November 2015) against the possible rollout of the government's badger cull to the county next year.
Dominic Dyer, Badger Trust chief executive, Mark Jones, a vet with Born Free Foundation and Lynn Sawyer, an activist, all spoke to the crowds who turned out to make their voice heard.
Despite the lack of success –on any criteria – of the government's previous 'trial'culls in Gloucestershire, Somerset and Dorset, it still seems hell bent on rolling out the flawed and cruel measure to other counties.
Lynn Sawyer urged local people to get out and get to know their local setts, to keep an eye on them and report any unusual or suspect activity BEFORE any cull starts, so that they can be well prepared to defend their local badgers if and when the time comes.
The BBC reported on its website that campaigners started the march around town at 1pm, followed by speakers and discussion at Castle Green.
Nigel Tolly, from West Midlands Badger Group, which joined the protest, said they wanted to recruit people to take part in a lawful, peaceful protest during a cull if it was rolled out to Hereford.
"The idea of the event is to bring public awareness of the fact that a badger cull could be rolled out into Hereford next year," he said.
You can listen to video of the speeches on YouTube of Dominic Dyer, Lynn Sawyer and Mark Jones.
Writing on the Guardian's Letters page on Wednesday, scientific experts said the badger cull is flawed, and called for it to end.
Professors John Krebs and John Bourne, and Dr Chris Cheeseman, among many other experts in their field wrote an open letter calling on the government to reconsider its decision to continue and extend the badger culls.
You can read their letter here.
The Badger Trust has today (3rd August) issued a press release detailing a new short film on YouTube in which Steve Backshall speaks out to oppose further culling.
"Stop ignoring science and killing badgers to keep certain lobbies happy, says naturalist and broadcaster Steve Backshall"As the government prepares to make a decision on the continuation and possible extension of its highly controversial badger culling policy, leading naturalist and broadcaster Steve Backshall has given his support to the Badger Trust in opposing any more killing of badgers. In a film exclusively produced for the Badger Trust Steve Backshall said: "Ignoring science and going back to the dark ages culling badgers to keep certain lobbies happy, is a terrible idea.
Science is how the modern world works , it's how our cars drive and how our smart phones work. Relying on the scientific method is what makes our world go round.
"The way the government is doing things at the moment, small scale badly organised badger culls, is making the problem of bovine TB worse, this has been proven by science.
"The only way you can really effectively contain bovine TB is not through badger culling, but by improved animal husbandry and through the development of a cattle vaccine."
Responding to the film the CEO of the Badger Trust said: "We are hugely grateful to Steve Backshall for using his expertise and influence to support our campaign to stop the badger cull, which has been a disastrous failure on scientific, economic and humaneness grounds.
"Two years of badger culling have cost the tax payer in the region of £15 million, the most expensive wildlife cull of its kind on record. However, the real scandal is that nearly all the badgers killed will not have had TB. Defra's own data suggests just 1.6% are capable of passing on the disease whilst 85% are likely to have been completely TB free*. The government's continued refusal to test the badgers for TB not only makes this a 'blind' cull but also means we will never be able to say whether it has worked.
"The pilot culls were set up to test the efficiency and humaneness of free shooting of badgers at night by trained marksmen. On this basis they have also been a failure, as free shooting has proved highly ineffective and has been found to be inhumane by both the government's own Independent Expert Panel and more recently the British Veterinary Association. "The only way to beat bovine TB is to stop playing the badger blame game and to follow the Welsh Government approach, by focusing on disease control in cattle. "The Chief Vet in Wales recently announced that new incidents of TB in cattle in Wales had fallen by 28% resulting in a 45% cut in the number of cattle being slaughtered for TB. This leaves 94% of the Welsh herd now free of TB, without the culling of any badgers."
The film can be viewed on this YouTube link.
A badger cull has begun today (Friday 4th September) in Dorset, for the first time, and has restarted in Gloucestershire and Somerset for the third year running.
Despite the evidence that the culls so far have been ineffective, as well as inhumane, the cull has been rolled out to Dorset.
An article on the Guardian's website quotes Claire Bass of Humane Society International: "For a third year running these supposedly protected animals will be subjected to a cruel and pointless death, scapegoats of the government's failed cattle TB policy. We will continue to campaign to end this inhumane and unscientific massacre."
Campaigners in Gloucestershire have already reported finding a badger with a gunshot wound, which died shortly afterwards.
You can read Damian Carrington's full story here.
Our vaccination programme this year has been a big success so far. With another eight badgers vaccinated against TB at a site just over one week ago, the total now stands at 34, and there is one more site to go.
Our team of qualified vaccinators has done the work free of charge to the farmers who signed up for the scheme. Shropshire Badger Group believes that our badger vaccination approach offers a positive response to a relatively limited problem, in place of the discredited government cull that has indiscriminately killed many perfectly healthy badgers that would otherwise have boosted overall immunity in the badger population to bovine TB.
As an entirely self-funding small local charity, we welcome any offers of financial or practical help from businesses and members of the public in order to further our objectives. For more information please leave a message on our helpline: 01743 271999, or use the contact form on our website.

Summer in Vancouver has too much stuff happening for me to be indoors much these days, so sadly this blog hasn't been updated as much as I'd like. I have been checking out lots of live shows though. Here's a quick rundown of just a few of my favourites from the past month:
High-Functioning Flesh from Los Angeles came to Vancouver recently, and what a high powered show! If you like oldschool EBM or synth punk, I'm pretty damn sure you'll love these guys. And if you have a chance to catch them live don't miss out – you will be bouncing and dancing all night.
Weird Candle just came back from a tour with //ZOO (who I will write about in a future entry once their Soundcloud is back up and running!) and they brought home some crazy energy with them. Their live show has gotten even better, they've got some new ideas up their sleeve, and I can't wait to see what they'll do next. Sounds like they have a full album release in the works for later this year, but in the meantime check out one of their newer tracks, Regeneration – complete with soul-wrenching lyrics.
The Will To Power visited last week and it sounds like they're a fairly new project from Winnipeg. Definitely a band to keep an eye on – Canadian dark synth and new wave that is right down my alley. Tempt and Time are other songs that have really hooked me on this release, worth checking out and I hope they'll be back soon!
As always, you can buy each band's music at their respective Bandcamp pages. And before I forget – I'm going to finally see Xeno & Oaklander (and Soft Metals!) live at their Portland show in a couple of weeks and can't wait. Look forward to post-show gushing after that 😉

Five Things You Should Spend Money on When You Are Jobless
Yet that's precisely what the jobless need to do, agree employment and job counselors. The logic is this: If you've been unemployed for months, chances are, you are stuck. If you aren't getting traction in your job search, you may need a professional make-over. And contrary to instinct, this may be the time to spend a little money on getting yourself over the hump.What should you be spending your precious dollars on? According to Deborah Gallant, founder of Bold Business Works, a coaching consultant for those seeking jobs or running small businesses, you need:
1. Business Cards
If you are hunting for a job, you need business cards in your pocket at all times. Not the free ones with the Vista Print logo on the back, but real slick professional business cards, says Gallant. Hand them out to everyone you meet and make sure they know you are looking for a job. Make sure the cards are flat, not glossy, so people can write on them. And, adds Gallant, don't describe yourself on them as a "consultant" because people will think that's really what you are. "And what you really are is someone looking for a job." Price: $50
2. Your Own Web Domain and Email
It will make you look really smart and tech-savvy, Gallant says. A website is nice too, but far less important than your email address. Make sure that's the email address on the business cards you order (see above). Price: About $50, or less on godaddy.com.
3. Attend High-End Networking Events
That's where the people who can hire you will be at. At a jobs fair, the only people you're going to meet are other unemployed people. You want to go where the decision-makers are. If you're an unemployed lawyer, you should consider buying a ticket to the $100-a-plate dinner to meet the other lawyers there. Price: varied.
Look in the mirror. Do you need a haircut? A style that will make you look younger and more dynamic? You will get one chance to make a first impression and you can't blow it in any way. Taking care of your appearance, especially at a time when you feel more like crawling through the day in your pajamas, can't be overstated. You just don't know who you will run into at the market. Price of a professional salon cut: $60 and up.
5. A Life or Career Coach
Coaches have sprung up in this recession the way mushrooms do on an over-watered lawn. And for that alone, caution needs to be taken before you part with your cash. Coaches come in all shapes and forms -- lifestyle coach, motivational coach, spiritual coach, relationship coach and my personal favorite, a success coach. Truth is, talking to some coaches is about as helpful as talking to a friend. And you don't pay your friends to listen to you, do you?
Not to state the obvious, but you want someone who is smarter than you to be your coach. You want someone who can look at how you have approached your job search and see the holes in your strategy.
Any coach will give you a complimentary 30-minute session, said Gallant. Make sure they have the knowledge, experience and track record with people like you before you make any commitment, she said. And 30 minutes is long enough to know whether you click with them. A coaching relationship shouldn't be open-ended. At hourly rates of about $200, chose wisely and remember: It makes no sense to pay for advice and then not take it.

The Archbishop of Canterbury's London residence at Lambeth Palace could be turned into a self-financing conference centre under cost-cutting measures proposed this week.
The Archbishop of Canterbury's London residence at Lambeth Palace could be turned into a self-financing conference centre under cost-cutting measures proposed this week.
The suggestion comes in a report from a report entitled Resourcing Archbishops, produced by a committee chaired by Professor Anthony Mellows which looked at the living arrangements for the Church of England's two archbishops.
According to the report, Lambeth Palace has areas that are "grossly" underused. Mellows also proposed reforms to generate revenue to cover all costs at the palace.
Lambeth Palace costs �500,000 a year to run on average, although it was higher last year at �594,000, including �242,000 on staff costs. The main palace building contains three state rooms, two chapels, the Great Hall, four flats, and studies for the Archbishop and the Bishop at Lambeth. Outside there are two towers, eight cottages – one for the head gardener – and 6.3 acres of gardens.
The archbishop and his wife live in a flat added to Lambeth Palace in the 19th century, which the report said lacked privacy and fell far short of modern standards.
The committee even considered the drastic option of selling the palace, but found that it would be cheaper for the Church to keep the building and use it to generate income.
His report proposes turning part of the palace into a conference centre or "commercial hospitality" suite while allowing the archbishop and others to continue living there and using the state rooms for up to 40 per cent of the year.
The report suggests that the venture could pay for the running costs of the palace within five years, although the proposal would inevitably change the ethos of the historic building.
Flats in Lollards Tower within the Palace are let rent-free at present; one suggestion is to rent them at market rates.
A commendation in the recent Civic Trust awards went to the Lambeth Palace Courtyard Project. This skilful adaptation inside the ancient palace has created an elegant visitor space and access to the fine 13th century crypt, once hidden away from public view. Working closely with Lambeth Council's conservation officer, architects Richard Griffiths ingeniously wove the best of contemporary architecture into the historic fabric of the medieval and Tudor edifice.
Parts of the palace have been opened to visitors this year as part of the String of Pearls Festival, but all the tours have already sold out.

I picked this up as an impulse buy on clearance at Ulta recently. This is definitely not a "me" color at all, but I've really enjoyed wearing it. Although my skin is warm toned, I thought this cool toned polish looked great on me. It was released in 2009's Prince Charming Collection. Cute name too!
The photos really speak for this polish; there isn't too much to say. It's a cool toned, pink jelly. Almost bubble gum pink. There is something about this polish that looks great. It's cheerful and girly. With one coat, it could be a "your nails but better" polish as well.
The formula on this polish was pretty flawless. It went on so smooth and easy. And considering that it is a jelly, it was pretty opaque. I used two coats for this manicure. It went on completely smooth and dried evenly and quickly. Look at how shiny it is!
Where to Buy: Online Retailers / Ulta / $ 6 – $ 8
Do you own Got A Date To-Knight? Or any other polishes from the Prince Charming collection? Is pink one of your go to manicure colors? I prefer it for pedicures, but cant wait to wear this polish again! It's basically the perfect pink.
– Liz

As of May 2013, AZFCU still has a website page from 2011 comparing their checking account vs banks. Since AZFCU believes in financial education, why are they not truly educating their members by also listing competing credit unions? Notice how they mention their $1.95 IDProtect fee that was optional for checking account holders in 2012? Then when they launched their unavoidable $3 monthly weasel fee in January 2013, they claimed it was suddenly worth $15. We will do the work for Arizona Federal Credit Union, by educating people to show them there are MANY choices for free checking. These choices have NO FEES for checking, NO FEES for a debit card, and NO FEES for being a member or customer. If you stay with Arizona Federal Credit Union, you should express your outrage to have this unjust fee rescinded. If you choose to leave Arizona Federal Credit Union, we will educate you on some good alternatives!
Additionally, AZFCU's website as of May 2013, claimed they had "no such plans" in 2011 to charge for a debit card while knocking the banks for same, yet the fee schedule in May 2013 shows a $3 monthly fee for an ATM Cash Card.
At Arizona Federal, there are no such plans (to charge a monthly debit card fee). Rather, we encourage members to use their debit cards for all of their purchases, with no fear of being assessed a debit card fee. We recently even rewarded one of our members with a free trip to Disneyland as the result of a drawing that included everyone who had made a certain type of purchase with an Arizona Federal debit card in the previous six weeks. Use their card, pay a fee; use ours, go to the Happiest Place on Earth!

I have been a fiber artist and raising sheep for over 30 years. Being raised on a farm in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, I have a connection to nature and it's natural beauty. Though the land, the relationship with the land and the animals are key elements in my life.
Inspiration for color in my hand dyed woolen's, fibers, felts and yarns are from the landscape and it's ever so changing seasons.
The land for the sheep to graze, the weather changes all have an impact on food for sheep, the wool they produce and the use of plants for natural Dyes are effected by the growing season. I depend on the land, the environment for a way of life. I use natural dyes and earth friendly non-toxic dyes.
I enjoy passing on what I have learned over the years, with children and adults in workshops. Raising sheep, processing the wool, hand dyeing, felting, spinning, weaving, knitting and rug hooking. Knowing that it will be kept alive, inspiring others, it is so rewarding.
I have worked hard to maintain quality in our products and look forward to the time honored tradition.
To all of our customers, Thank you for your support, enabling us to continue our way of life. We look forward to the future with great enthusiasm, inspiration and a will to create.

The M State Lady Spartan softball team got back on track Friday with a road sweep of Minnesota West Community and Technical College. They won game one 13-5 and game two 5-2.
"Maybe not our sharpest games, but we made the pitches and key defensive plays late in the games to win" commented head coach Steve King. "We trailed in both games and found a way to win at a place that has been traditionally a tough place for us to win. I'm very happy and proud of the way we played today."
The Lady Spartans got on the board first with a two out hit by Sydney Imsande that scored Amber Boese for a quick 1-0 lead. Mn West tied the score at 1-1 with a run in the bottom of the first. Imsande clutched up again in the third with another two out hit to score Haley Poehler and give the Lady Spartans a 2-1 lead. Mn West answered back with a single run in the third for a 2-2 tie.
Mn West scored two in the bottom of the fourth and took a 4-2 lead but the Lady Spartans answered right back in the top of the fifth on another RBI by Imsande and a run scoring single by Lindsey Dierks to tie the score at 4-4.
After that it was all Lady Spartans as they scored two more two out runs on a RBI single by Poehler and an error that gave the Lady Spartans a 6-4 lead. They broke the game open with a seven spot in the top of the seventh highlighted by a Megan Riedel two run double and finished the inning leading 13-4. Mn West scored a single run in the bottom of the seventh for a final score of 13-5.
Tarryn Justesen pitched a complete game and earned the win.
In game two the Lady Spartans trailed 1-0 in the third before Ally Jensen roped double down the left field line to score Doranna Blasyck and tie the game at 1-1. Mn West scored again in the bottom of the fourth to take a 2-1 lead but once again the Lady Spartans owned the final innings of the game. They scored three runs in the top of the sixth on an error and another two out, two run base hit. Ally Jensen delivered a sharp single to left that scored Blasyck and Boese and the Lady Spartans grabbed a 5-2 lead and never looked back.
The Lady Spartans made some great defensive plays behind pitcher Justesen to keep the score 5-2 in the sixth. The Lady Spartans went quickly in the top of the seventh. Mn West threatened in the bottom of the seventh but a great catch on a little sinking line dive by 2nd baseman Ally Jensen turned into a game ending double play as she caught the ball running and made an on target flip to Imsande at first base for the Lady Spartan win.
Justesen threw a complete game for her second win of the day and she improver her record to 11-3. Sydney Imsande had five RBIs on the day and Ally Jensen had four hits and four RBIs in game two.
The Lady Spartans improve to 14-4 overall and 8-4 in the Southern Division of the Minnesota College Athletic Conference. They will host Ridgewater College at 3:00 Tuesday and Riverland College at 3:00 on Friday.
