Our (Darrill and I) Christmas tradition is to get up early after Christmas eve with my children and head up to Big Bear to go skiing. I love the beautiful scenic drive up to Big Bear. It only takes about 1 1/2 hours to get to snow summit from our home, but the roads were closed from all the rain , so we had to go up the back way and it took about 2 1/2 hours. Never the less it was still a beautiful drive, and well worth it !
Simply beautiful white snow-covered mountains…
and beautiful flocked evergreen trees…
We all try to recreate this winter wonderland in our homes for Christmas, but it's never quite as beautiful as natures creation.
Leo likes to ski, but he loves sitting down and playing in the snow.
and he loves to stick his finger in the snow and eat it.
He then said he was hungry and wanted a snack bar…and then he wanted another one. A little Al fresco dinning. Then he wanted me to just sit there in the snow with him.
Darrill finally came and decided to take him to the bunny slope, and I headed to the ski lifts, which were pretty empty. I love riding the ski lifts and just looking out at the beautiful snow covered moutains. Just me and natures finest.
The snow was a beautiful cold blue power, perfect for skiing. The temperature was a warm but brisk 45 degrees.
I skied untill the sun went down, and the sunset was breathtaking.
Santa was there, so Leo wanted to have our picture taken with him.
I was able to talk Darrill into coming back here to spend our New Years eve here skiing.
I have a superstition that how you spend your New Years eve is how your year will be. So hopefully our New Year will be eventful and in celebration of the beauty of nature…
Have a wonderful New Year !

A groundless complaint completely derailed my GP career
Fear of a complaint still haunts this GP, despite all charges being dismissed against him
I completed my training in 2006. After several locum jobs and working in out-of-hours, I was happy to get a salaried position at a GP practice in the south of England, with an option to become a partner.
However, after only a week in the job, I was informed by the partners that they had serious concerns about my safety as a GP and they were terminating my contract immediately. My face must have been a picture of total incredulity and surprise.
The next thing I knew was a letter from the PCT, a couple of days later, with notice of temporary suspension of my performer's licence and explaining I had been reported to the Performer's Board for investigation. It also came as a total surprise to me, as it was never mentioned by the partners that they were referring my case anywhere.
There were three months in which I had to find evidence of my actions (lucky for me, I keep comprehensive records), support for my decisions, and advice from my defense union, which reviewed any correspondence related to my case. When I saw finally a copy of the complaint against me, it suggested that I could be mentally ill.
When the Performers Panel finally took place, I had the support of my trainer, and, bizarrely, also one of the panel members. She excused herself from participating in the decision, but explained I had worked as a locum in her surgery and had excellent feedback from patients, colleagues and admin team. I had also letters of support from my locum agency, and one of the surgeries where I was working as a locum.
In the end, I was cleared of all charges, and all suggestions about my mental health were refuted. I was requested, by the panel, to take a 'communications skills' course - which I enjoyed very much – but the impact on my life was dramatic.
After being reinstated, I did not find another locum job for the following two months. I lost several months of income, and this affected my family's financial security.
As a foreign citizen, I also ran the risk of my refused my Tier 1 visa renewal being removed.
The out-of-hours service requested that I had to do a new application with all the involved paperwork and certifications.
And my self-esteem suffered very badly, with my self-confidence taking more than a year to return.
Over time, I learned to work despite the fear of being reported or complained about, something in the back of the mind of every doctor working in Britain today. Is very sad that our practice has to be guided by fear, and by patient's extortion when their demands are not met.
I still soldier on, guided by the Hippocratic principles of honesty and fairness, and above all, the best interest of my patients. I am still a human being, but a worried and slightly afraid one.

you have my complete sympathy. I too am currently awaiting the outcome of a vexatious GMC complaint from the family member of a patient. 3 months and not a word from anyone. The reality is we all now live in fear and anyone can write anything they want to the GMC, which they investigate with a "guilty until proven innocent" attitude and at a snails pace. my advice is practice defensively, go with great caution in the 50:50 calls (I.e admit or refer rather than wait and watch), investigate most things, and make sure you give no one a chance to even have a chance of taking you down. Looking at emigration personally once I can apply for a certificate of good standing. Good luck to you.

The fact that you have refused to reveal the nature of the complaint makes me wonder whether this is a case of "no smoke without fire"
Very funny nice to see the DM trolling around these parts.
But for those with a brain - this does raise very serious issues and is likely to mean we need to practice extremely defensively. Without moral support from society our MDU/Mps costs will just continue to rise

I appreciate the comment that you have now made permission to administer medicine a separate pack which can be purchased, however can't all the sections be like this? I need more of the "existing injuries" forms and only these. Like other people have commented, I am going to have to make my own as I do not want to buy more of the whole pack as it is an unnecessary expense.
By Julia Jeeves on 28/01/2018 17:49:23
Agree with previous comments works out expensive to buy packs of mixed forms when only some are used regularly.

I whole-heartedly agree with the comments below. I'm thinking about devising my own now because I have an abundance of forms I don't use very often and only want ' permission to administer short course of medication or treatment daily' forms
By Miri Noble (Miri's Nursery) on 27/01/2018 09:52:22
Please make medication form separately and a bigger pack for frequent use . Seems to run out of short term medication form before any of the other forms. Thanks
By Susan Morris on 15/01/2018 14:01:35
Agree with the other coments. Wish we could buy these seperately as I have to buy the entire pack when I only need the administering medication forms as they tend to get used much quicker than the rest of the forms in the folder.

from £17.99
Accident forms - body diagrams

Today, I spent a lot of time cleaning and organizing my garden. I picked up all the empty pots and stacked them in each other, picked up tools (shovels, rakes, shears, etc) and put them in a nice heavy pot, moved dirt around and just the ordinary garden chores. It was hot in the sun I found and I kept coming in to cool down and get a drink of water. I ended up waiting until it was almost sun down to go outside and finish my chores. It was bearable and not too hot.
I also planted more lemon balm, thyme broadleaf, cilantro, dill, chives, fennel, 4 o clocks, arrugula-rocket, and Kentucky blue pole beans. I was hoping to plant more oregano but I couldn't find my packet of seeds. I know it's here somewhere. Maybe I need to organize my garden things indoors! Eek. Well, I guess that it's for today. Check back tomorrow for more updates or better yet, subscribe to my blog by signing up here here to get updates. Talk to you soon and as always, happy gardening!

During the early month, various clients common questions and concerns give or take a few optimizing their websites for search engines. Search motor optimization, or SEO, has turn to some extent of a science, and several companies advance frequent thousands of dollars per year on SEO and associated employment. Having aforementioned that, however, nearby are individual material possession you can do as a firm manager to tilt your standings in scrabble results minus re-mortgaging the dwelling or debilitating your mercantilism fund. You simply condition to cognize what to do or ask your webmaster to do, for you.
- First, spread your website near original, level exultant that is valued by your regulars and is ad hoc to your business concern association beside them.
- Select hunting speech communication and phrases that reflect those used by associates questioning for the types of commodity and services you endow. Two or three-word phrases are greater than sole oral communication because they polish the probable index of matches and destruct disagreeable contest from sites that are not as specific a match. Each leaf in your website can have its own set of rummage through lines and phrases reflecting the cheery of that peculiar leaf.
- One of the major distance a turn upside down engine ranks pages is by decisive the frequency and site of hunt spoken language on your web pages. So, use those scour oral communication and phrases: in your meta tags; in your headline tags, in self-satisfied headlines; and in close proximity the top of the page, particularly in the early one or two paragraphs. Search engines may penalise pages or send to coventry them from the scale if they notice activity motor "spamming." "Spamming" is when a sound is continual many, copious present time on a leaf to proliferate the frequence and displace the page superior in the listings.
- Avoid the use of web technologies that preclude or stop explore engines from reading and categorisation your web pages - specifically frames and dynamically generated in high spirits. Including an HTML base camp map will aid engines in assortment your location and impart a complete pilotage aid for encampment visitors, as well.
- Avoid exploitation vivid files (GIF, JPG, FLASH) to show key easygoing - definitely for headlines, user quotes, and different content-rich elements; do appropriate good thing of the ALT attributes in all print to set forth the mental image content, mistreatment search speech communication when in order. Search engines cannot "read" model files, so any easygoing restrained in the photograph itself is mislaid.
- Do share in reciprocal cross-linking beside separate prime sites that include reports that would as well be of excitement to your reference point chart of company. You impoverishment course from redeeming web pages that are linked to the topics for which you poverty to be found. Every chief check out engine uses linkage analysis as piece of their superior algorithms because it is extremely tough for webmasters to "fake" corking golf course. As a result, contact analysis gives explore engines a utile process of decisive which pages are slap-up for exceptional topics. To breakthrough those well-mannered links, go to the major scrabble engines and poke about for your reference point keywords. Visit those pages that condition in flood in the poke about grades and ask the location owners if they will contact to you. Not every person will, specially if your site is thoughtful to be rivalrous beside their land site. However, every non-competitive sites will relationship to you, if you are disposed to cooperation subsidise. In this way, you can improvement by receiving several company from these glorious aggregation sites, as all right. A good, even email selling program will likewise actuation accumulation to your website.
- Take the occurrence to manually refer your website to major hunt engines and directories, remarkably when propulsion a new site, or when implementing a through ascent of an alive setting.

This internet radio show or podcast is number 134 in the series for Franklin Matters.
This recording is my interview with Town Council Candidate Melanie Hamblen. We recorded this at her work location, Franklin Agway. Technically, the recording took a second try.
I also tried out a new transcription service and it seems to have translated the words to text remarkably well. I only needed to add some punctuation marks and capitalizations. When talking, sometime we pause for a sentence end, and sometimes the pause is caught, sometimes it is not. You'll find the full text on the Franklin Matters post with this recording.
The interview itself runs about 15 minutes. Without further ado, here is the recording
Franklin Matters (FM) The first question, we've talked, so I know a little bit about you, but the benefit of the others, tell us a little bit about your background. What is your Franklin's story.
MH - So my Franklin story, my husband and I moved Franklin in 2010. I. Worked in a children's hospital. In Boston and I would take the train and every day. And so when I got home from work I would go into my yard and I had my garden and I grew my own vegetables and I had chickens and dogs and bees.
But one thing was really missing was that we didn't really know our neighbors that well. And we moved out to Franklin to have more space, to be closer to farms, and really with the goal that I wouldn't go into Boston forever on the train. Because you know what the train was like. Sometimes it can be a challenge.
Luckily I stopped going on the train when it got really bad. One of the good things about being on the train was that you can have friends there. And so I had these train buddies actually see them here Agway now and visit with me and I still stay connected to them. So that's really good.
So in 2016. Neal and I bought the Agway in March of 2016 what we bought the Franklin Agway it's independently owned it's not a franchise or anything. It's just us. So we've decided that to become connected to the community we had to do something different. And we really enjoyed being here with all the all of the festivals and all the things that are here in town.
I like to put a hash tag on things sometimes. On Instagram, you can follow me on Instagram, I think you do. But I always put #betterlife. And this has really become a better life for us. We're really connected to the community and this really really feels like the right thing to do.
So we're we're trying to give people to give people information they need to make sure that they're they have they can grow their lawn in the right way or brew beer or make cheese. I'm going to do things in an environmentally positive, good earth stewardship way, makes a lot of people they want to do that. They don't know where to start. So I hope that I have a friendly personality so that people aren't afraid to ask me questions.
Well one of the things we moved to Franklin was because there were farms here and so I live down the street from Hoffman Farm and I went down to check the Farmer Nick. I said to him "What can I do to help you?" I have this time now I want to I want to be more involved in what goes on in town. And he said the number one thing you can do is help us is to create an agricultural commission in town.
And so it's a lot of the farmers that come into the store. I knew more people than anybody else did. And so we've got all the farmers together and put together a proposal to the town to create an agriculture commission. So they had a voice. I felt like nobody really cared about them and that they didn't nobody listened to what they had to say.
Just the whole process of doing this has made them feel better and more connected to the community themselves. So it's kind of a win win win win situation here. We were all with a little bit because we have our farmers feel connected we are connected to them and they feel a little more. And farming is really stressful. And they were worried about what's going to happen to their farm in the future is their family going to have a place to live? Are they going to be able survive through the next winter? Is there going to be a big change in the legislature or the rulings of a town that's going to make it impossible for them to farm?
You see things like that have had been happening in other communities around us and and also just in the direction that the town is going. It seemed like they were really worried about their state their space their land. And really you don't want your farmers stressed up that much because they get us food. Right. They were something we need. Right. And they keep us connected to the ground into the earth and to each other.
So I'm working with the farmers and Jeff and Jamie in particular (Jeff Nutting and Jamie Hellen) the administrators of the town when we actually worked with the Economic Development Committee that's put together a proposal to create to create an official commission here in town. And I think this will give the farmers a real voice, that gives them it gives them an official voice in town that they really truly exist.
And that's really a powerful thing and empowers them to be able to take control of their own destiny really right. It's like a really good thing. So the Town Council voted for it. We built a community around that agricultural commission. There's a Facebook page that said all the farms we're on you can find out where everybody is. And when they have things available.
Jeff and Jamie have really helped me a lot to bring this proposal to the State House, to get it put into our charter, so it will be official and real.
I went to the town council meetings. I started in January. You saw me there. You get to sit next to each other and to see how things work and how things are how things work in the town. Why do we have to do these things three times and what does this mean. I think we have to go at least four times in a row to really understand how long the process takes and how much work it is.
One of the things I've realized is that I feel that the town council I think I have a different voice. I think that that the voice of the pro-agriculture, pro-open space. I feel like I'm more of a collaborator and I like to build consensus with people. I like to build teams to work out work on project problems and projects and to communicate with other people.
That's one of my big things as I just love to make sure that people have the information that they need to make the right choices for them. It's like we don't have to all agree as long as we have the information to make our own opinions and to create our own opinions.
You know I've always find it very interesting to meet a group of people and to find out all the different opinions that people have about a certain subject and then think about it myself and then decide what I think is right for me. So that's that's all my science background that comes through on almost everything I do.
I'm I'm always observing observing people or things or do experiments with my tomatoes that I grow. And I mean I like to gather information about a certain thing. So if I don't know one, I can't give somebody a decision right away. I have to go research and maybe sometimes people want people want an answer they want something quick. But I think we need to slow down a little bit sometimes and really think about what we are doing and what we're going to say and and really weigh all the different opinions that are out there right.
FM: What do you see as your role's biggest challenge and do you have any suggestions on how we can resolve it?
MH - Based upon what I've seen and heard so from going to the different town council meetings and I think the budget meetings were really informative and that it's it seems like the one of the major issues we're going to come up against is to have a balanced budget. To have the schools and all of our services supplied with the funding that they need. It's going to be really hard to to make sure that the school budget is filled and that we have all the police department has everybody they need in a fire department has everybody they need.
I really wanna make sure that people are safe in town and that they have and they have it and they have a chance. Our students, our children have a chance to be able to get the education they need.
I don't have a son in town in school. He's 26. He's got to have a Westwood education. At that time we voted to redo the Westwood high school so when we moved to Franklin in 2010 and the first thing we voted for was to upgrade the Franklin high school. It's really important. Not just to keep our property values up but to have a good place for kids to learn.
I guess I'm kind of a nerd because I think education is really important and a well-balanced education. We need to have great to be able to have music and art and our students need to be able to learn how to think. So when the time comes I will have to use my science back my science background and really study this budget. It's really serious. It's a serious thing and it's really super important and we can't just make a snap decision and we have to really take time and study this and find out the best way to get it to get to the end.
FM: So that would be a good segue to the second you talked about your Franklin's story and their challenges. And so I think you've already started talking about it. What are you what would you bring to the council to help the council meet those challenges as we go forward.
MH - Well one of the things I'm very passionate about is communication. I think what we need to do is we need to communicate to people. We need to educate everyone about what our needs are. And what the services with our money can pay for and if there's a gap. People need to understand that.
We need to help people understand. We need to reach out to people. We can't just think that it's OK for them to come and talk to us. I really feel like we need to do an outreach and explain to people what it means. Explain everything that happens and I think then you'll find that you'll get more support. Because people feel like you care. I care about Franklin I want Franklin to be the best place it can be. I think we need it. It can only be in the best place if we all work together.
FM - And so having covered the basic three questions the Franklin Cultural Council asked me to ask the Town Council candidates. So if I may let me just read it to you.
"As you know Franklin has applied to the state for the official cultural district designation in town. What do you feel was the role of arts and culture in Franklin and what is your plan to advance that interest. "
MH - Well first of all. I think the fact that we have so many really interesting. Cultural stations in town. Is really exciting to me because there's the.
[00:12:44] For me as a small business owner and one of the things I think about is that you can get people excited to come downtown and go to shop. to shows then they're going to eat in the local restaurants and it's just a great thing for the local economy. So I feel like, it's not only is a quality of life thing. It really helps us all. Pays for our life. It's really exciting that there's so much stuff going on in Franklin that has has this really good quality makes you feel good. I need to use my background again here to learn more about the funding of the council. I don't really know much about it. I did try to check Facebook and look around at that at the Web sites and I couldn't really find too much about it. But I think it's a wonderful thing for all the way.
Well I just want to thank everybody for listening to me. And I want you to know that I want to know what is important to you. So now you know what's important to me. And I want to know what's important to you. I think it's really good to know. We need to share our ideas and our opinions with each other so that we can find out what's best to go forward for the town. So if you're on Facebook you can find me on Facebook.
There's Melanie Hamblen for Town Council. There's also the FranklinAgway.com. That's me too. Or you can even contact me through the Franklin Agway Facebook page. And my I'll give you my e-mail address too (email@example.com).
So there's tons of ways to get in touch with me if you want to meet me in person. Let me know. I'm always willing to meet with people. It's one of the best things that I get to do here now that I'm here at the Agway.
This podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but I can't do it alone. I can use your help.
How can you help?
If you like this, please tell your friends and neighbors.
If you don't like this, please let me know.
Through this feedback loop we can continue to make improvements.

Beyond the Hoop is an Arlington-based non profit that helps youth achieve positive accomplishments both on and off the court. We emphasize academic achievement as a means to developing good character, responsibility and success. Basketball is the vehicle to focus participants on attributes that will develop a solid foundation they can draw upon throughout life.
No one is turned away because of an inability to play, nor are they turned away because they don't have "Michael Jordan" qualities. We are inclusive. We only ask that our kids put the same effort into their studies as they do into their basketball. For those who have trouble with certain subjects, we provide a tutor — free of charge if the student cannot pay.
We have success stories. And we want to tell you about them and our program.

While we wait for ATLAS and CMS to deliver their latest results the LHC has reawakened from a week-long technical stop and is once again injecting beams. It could take a few days before they are back to collecting data at full luminosity. This run will last 6 weeks and will be interrupted by TOTEM physics, floating MDs and VdM scans leaving about 4 to 5 weeks for normal running. The previous run that delivered about 5.5/fb lasted 7 weeks so there is less time in this run. Bunch intensities will however be increased beyond the already impressive figure of 150 billion protons per bunch, remember that the LHC was designed to reach a nominal maximum of 115 billion ppb but there is an ultimate maximum of 170 billion ppb because they are running with a lower 50ns bunch spacing.
One consequence of such high beam intensity is that some parts of the LHC are feeling the heat. The kicker magnets have warmed up to 70 degrees centigrade during long runs and the control centre needs to wait for them to cool down before they can start a new fill. Despite such difficulties and the shorter time I am sure they will be hoping to at least match the 5.5/fb delivered in the last run. After that there will be another technical stop followed by a final proton run. All being well the total data delivered should be enough to bring out some detail in our view of the Higgs boson, and perhaps it will also show us something else new.

Research in Vancouver on psychedelic drugs as a possible treatment for mental illness is part of a worldwide renaissance of the formerly sidelined area.
"The door to research has opened and many have walked through," says Mark Haden, board chairman of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies Canada.
A paper published Tuesday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal notes a resurgence of such work around the world, which was discredited in the 1970s by governments who called psychedelics "drugs of abuse with no recognized medical value."
The Canadian Multidisciplinary Association and other affiliates of the parent organization based in Santa Cruz, California, have administered MDMA — also known as ecstasy or Molly — along with intensive psychotherapy to about 100 people diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Vancouver had six study participants; the others were in the United States, Spain, Switzerland and Israel. About one-third were military veterans.
"A dramatic improvement has been noted in all participants," says Haden, who is also an addictions counsellor and adjunct professor in the University of B.C.'s School of Population and Public Health. The results have not been published, but Haden says the goal of the research and a proposed Phase 3 clinical trial is to have MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) approved as a medication for PTSD if it's part of treatment by a psychiatrist or psychologist.
Study participants took a standardized dose of MDMA in the presence of a therapist on three occasions. They were coached through their three-to six-hour high and had counselling before and after. The control group took a placebo and, after an initial two-month followup, was offered MDMA in sessions
"It does help people to understand themselves," Haden said Tuesday. "The permeability between the conscious and unconscious mind is increased when people take psychedelics."
With PTSD, particularly from wartime experiences, it can help patients stop their disturbing thoughts, he says.
"PTSD is an unconscious tape loop that's completely destructive to someone. The pain of the experience of battle is brought back and replayed constantly. Normally that unconscious tape loop is walled and protected through fear, but people have access to that through psychedelics," Haden explains.
The Multidisciplinary Association research, funded by donations from the public, is trying to reproduce a 2010 study by South Carolina-based psychiatrist Dr. Michael Mithoefer who concluded that 10 out of 12 research participants had no PTSD after MDMA-assisted therapy. In comparison, only two of eight in the placebo group had similar results based on structured interviews used to rate the severity of the disorder.
Dr. Evan Wood, a UBC professor and medical director of addiction services at Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health Care, wrote the Canadian Medical Association Journal analysis with co-authors Kenneth W. Tupper, Matthew W. Johnson and Richard Yensen.
They summed up existing research about LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), psilocybin found in magic mushrooms, dimethyltryptamine (DMT, an active ingredient in the Amazonian hallucinogenic ayahuasca), mescaline and MDMA, including:
• A 2014 randomized controlled trial, the most reliable form of medicinal research, on 12 terminally ill patients in Switzerland that showed "significant reductions" in anxiety after LSD-assisted psychotherapy.
• A study published in 2011 on end-of-life anxiety in 12 people with end-stage cancer. It found psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy reduced anxiety and improved mood among participants compared to therapy sessions without it or with a placebo.
• An observational study — meaning there was no control group — of 12 First Nations participants in Vancouver who had ayahuasca-assisted treatment for drug addictions, including alcohol. It found improved mental health and reduced use of addictive substances after six months.
"Continued medical research and scientific inquiry into psychedelic drugs may offer new ways to treat mental illness and addiction in patients who do not benefit from currently available treatments," says the journal analysis.
"Although methodological and political challenges remain to some degree, recent clinical studies have shown that studies on psychedelics as therapeutic agents can conform to the rigorous scientific, ethical and safety standards expected of contemporary medical research."

David Blumenthal puts his own spin on reference checking: he insists that serious job candidates call his references to get a true picture of Flash Creative Management, his $2-million information-technology company, in River Edge, N.J. "Call these people and they'll tell you the type of company you're getting involved with," he instructs them. "No holds barred on questions." References are usually Flash's customers. "Every person we hire goes through this process," he says. Why? Blumenthal has three reasons:
1. He wants candidates to understand his commitment to customer service and what he expects of employees. "If a customer says, 'Flash went to the ends of the earth for us,' that tells the candidate, 'When you join this company, you do whatever it takes to make the customer happy," he explains. In at least one instance, recalls Blumenthal, that revelation prompted a promising candidate to withdraw.
2. It's a second round of interviews. Blumenthal asks his customers for their opinions of prospective hires. Did the candidate ask intelligent questions? Would the customer feel comfortable working with that applicant? As each of Flash's 23 employees has some form of direct client contact, it's important that everyone establish a good rapport with customers.
3. The process reveals prospective employees' willingness to take direction and the strength of their commitment to Flash. "It's the first manifestation of their relationship with the company," says Blumenthal. "If I ask them to call references and they don't, I get a different message."

I've needed to dress up five times this past weekend and week for graduation and senior week, and I'd been absolutely dreading it. I'm not good with dressing up–it's a combination of not knowing what to wear (given that all of the messages I've received about how to look nice involve dresses and heels and such) and not having clothes to wear (given that menswear is expensive and generally is ill-fitting on me). Additionally, I get really self-conscious because I know that for dress-up events, most of the people around me will be wearing dresses, skirts, and other girly clothes (at the very least, really fitted pants and blazer), and that makes me stick out.
However, my fellow classmates at my college are incredible, and I've actually had a blast this week. I've been wearing varying combinations of ties, vests, button downs, pants, and a blazer, and it's been great. I've gotten so many compliments–from my friends, yes, but also from people I'm not actually that close to. My class is wonderful: they've just been so amazing for my confidence. Continue reading

8 days till bugversary, thanks Valve, it must feels nice knowing that your loyal fan and customer is bumping thread for 1 year and noone gives a fuck.
Please, I'm begging you, recheck my xp and you will see that some of my trophies are not counting in profile lvl, I'm missing 14 levels since june 24 last year, day when you patched something about profile levels not working correctly for some people and you did fixed it for them, but at same time that patch made me and lots of other peoplelose their levels even tho trophie xp shows that they should have more levels. (other people also have their threads in this section and bumping endlessly hoping that someone of you will care enough to fix it, didn't happen yet, and it's almost a year, that's sad)
ANYONE from dev team who/if reads this, please even if this is not your working field, at least forward it to someone who will fix it.
Thank you!

Hello, my name is Shawn McDevitt and I want to help you avoid having to make the toughest phone call as a business owner you will ever make!
The toughest phone call a business owner will ever make will be to the family member of a loved one killed in a workplace accident!
That is why I developed the Pocket Safety Trainer app. My app is aimed towards helping employers avoid having to make such phone calls.
The pocket safety trainer app with its user friendly interface helps employers with mobile workforces efficiently and consistently safety train their employees. The app also is equipped with OSHA mandated inspection forms for such things as daily forklift walk arounds, daily trenching logs and auto lifts.
The Pocket Safety Trainer helps to provide the necessary documentation in the event of a regulatory compliance audit from OSHA. The Pocket Safety Trainer app can also provide documentation that can aid employers in helping make them more defensible in the event of third party litigation stemming from a workplace accident or fatality.
The Pocket Safety Trainer app can help employers lower insurance their workman's compensation premiums through safety performance as well as to help protect an employers greatest asset. Their employees!
—Shawn McDevitt

Photos of Michael Hash free on bond
Less than a month after a federal judge tossed the capital murder conviction of Michael Wayne Hash, who served a dozen years in prison for a crime it now seems he didn't commit, a judge in Culpeper Circuit Court took less than five minutes to decide Hash should go home.
Judge Jay T. Swett ordered Hash released on a $10,000 unsecured bond, paving the way for the now 30-year-old man to spend his first night at home with family since he was a teenager.

Pertinent penetrating single Trevis Bick – REAL LOVE: I was first exposed to Trevis's sweet guitar and vocal work about a year ago, when I reviewed his "Heaven" single, and was highly impressed with both his creativity and delivery… on his upcoming release, he will WOW you, to be sure…
What's really most impressive about his well-woven guitar and vocal is the "pacing"… he has a really relaxed approach to the vocal, and his guitar technique lends itself to that laid-back feeling that we all look for in a song about love! There's a distinct "countrified" feeling to the song that will reach down deep into your heart and bring back your own memories of love surging to the surface… the ultimate in "cool"!
You can listen to the sample of "Real Love" on AMAZON, and determine for yourself if you agree with me, too.
I give Trevis another MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as well as a (perfect) "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 5.00… meaning that this also gets my "PICK" for "best love song". Get more information on this talented artist on Trevis's website. Rotcod Zzaj

I'm fairly certain that even Mary Poppins herself would find it rude to repeat something over and over but we are talking about her own movie "Mary Poppins Returns" which comes care of Walt Disney Studios and opens in theaters everywhere today. Emily Blunt is now in command of the flying umbrella and brings the smiles to the front as the timeless character made famous by the great Julie Andrews. The trailers have been widely broadcast everywhere and even RIGHT HERE for good measure if you haven't seen them yet. Check out the Theatrical Poster, Premise and Casting down below.
The Premise: Set in 1930s London, Jane and Michael Banks are now grown-up, with Michael still living in the house on Cherry Tree Lane. He lives there with his three children, Annabel, John, and George, and the housekeeper named Ellen. After Michael suffers a personal loss, Mary Poppins comes back to the Banks family with street lamplighter Jack, and eccentric cousin Topsy. (thanks Wiki)

Canon has announced it is developing two new super-telephoto lenses for its range of EOS DSLR cameras - the EF500mm f/4L IS II USM and the EF600mm f/4L IS II USM. Both of the new lenses will be displayed for the first time in Europe during the Photokina 2010 exhibition in Cologne, Germany, from 21-26 September 2010.
Developed as part of Canon's acclaimed L-series of professional lenses, the new lenses will achieve new and advanced levels of image quality. Each will include the highest quality components, featuring high specification Image Stabilizer technology alongside the use of optical materials such as Fluorite, to correct aberrations and ensure high resolution images that are rich in detail and contrast.
The lenses are set to succeed the widely-respected EF500mm f/4L IS USM and EF600mm f/4L IS USM lenses in the Canon L-series range of professional lenses. The EF500mm f/4L IS II USM and EF600mm f/4L IS II USM are being developed for photographers who require high performance, fast apertures and longer focal lengths. Redesigned, lightweight bodies will provide added mobility alongside enhanced protection against dust and water, making them ideal for the toughest shooting conditions.
Both new lenses have been designed to reflect Canon's renowned high standards for the elite L-series of lenses, combining exceptional-quality optics with easy-to-reach controls and signature designs. The models will be released at a later date as a part of Canon's continuing development of its EF lens line-up, offering enhanced performance and improved functions to cater for the needs of photographers, from beginners right through to professionals.

Review: GorillaBuilderz LeoShield
adaptor, arduino, compatible, duemilanove, gorillabuilderz, i2c, icsp, iic, leonardo, leoshield, product review, review, shield, SPI, test, tutorial, uno Commenti disabilitati su Review: GorillaBuilderz LeoShield
Some of you may be using an Arduino Leonardo board, taking advantage of the newer ATmega32U4 microcontroller for various reasons. And rightly so – there's the extra analogue I/O, virtual USB and the microUSB socket so you can use your phone charger cable. However with the new microcontroller comes a few changes to the board pinouts – I2C and SPI have moved. So if you have a nice Ethernet shield or something using I2C – you're basically out of luck… until now. The problem has been solved nicely by the team at GorillaBuilderz have created their LeoShield:
You simply place it on the Leonardo, and then the older legacy shield on top. The LeoShield redirects the I2C pins back to A4 and A5, and also sends the SPI lines back to D11~D13. For example, our Ethernet shield:
The ICSP pins are also extended from the Leonardo to the LeoShield, for example:
however when inserting the LeoShield into your Leonardo, take care lining up all the pins before pushing the shield down. There is also the large prototyping area which has 5V , 3.3V and GND rails across the full width for convenience. The sticker on the rear of the shield is to insulate against any large items that may come in contact from the host board, however you can peel it off to realise the complete prototyping space.
It's simple and it works – so if you need to use an older Arduino shield with a Leonardo the choice is simple – get yourself a Leoshield.
Disclaimer - The Leoshield was a review product received from GorillaBuilderz.

DETROIT — The quality of new cars improved across the industry this year, with Porsche, Honda, Toyota, General Motors and Ford among the automakers leading the pack, the marketing and consulting company J.D. Power and Associates said Wednesday.
Porsche was the top brand in J.D. Power's annual ranking of initial vehicle quality, which measures both mechanical and design problems in the first 90 days of ownership. Others in the top five were Nissan Motor Co.'s Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota Motor Corp.'s Lexus and Toyota brands.
In rankings by vehicle segments, Honda was the only brand with three winners — the Fit subcompact, Civic small car and CR-V crossover. Toyota, General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. had three winners each across all their brands. Overall, 26 of the 36 nameplates in the rankings improved from last year.
Chrysler LLC's Jeep was the worst performing brand, with 167 problems per 100 vehicles. Other brands in the bottom five were BMW AG's MINI, Land Rover, GM's Saturn, and Suzuki.
David Sargent, vice president of automotive research at J.D. Power, said the most improved vehicle this year was the Volkswagen Passat. He also cited the Chevrolet Malibu and Infiniti EX-Series, saying both vehicles had strong launches with relatively few problems, which is rare for all-new vehicles.
J.D. Power says overall quality improved to an average of 118 problems per 100 vehicles from 125 problems last year. Vehicle quality has steadily improved over the last decade; there were 176 problems per 100 vehicles in 1998.
The rankings were based on questionnaires from 81,500 people who bought or leased new 2008 vehicles between November and January. The questionnaires ask 228 questions on issues from handling, braking and engine trouble to seat comfort and stereo systems. Sargent said consumers reported that quality was up in every category except audio, entertainment and navigation systems.
The rankings are closely watched by automakers and are frequently used in advertising despite persistent questions about whether they show any real statistical difference between automakers. For example, if Jeep has 167 problems per 100 vehicles, that equals 1.67 problems per vehicle, making the difference with Porsche — at 0.87 problems per vehicle — seem less significant.
Sargent said there are more profound differences in the numbers for individual models, which aren't released publicly but are shown to automakers.
"Most brands produce some very good cars, and many brands produce some cars or vehicles which are not so good," Sargent said during the release of the numbers before a meeting of the Automotive Press Association.

"For every small, incremental increase in quality, you will get more customers coming back to your brand," Sargent said.
Sargent said rising gas prices had some effect on the rankings this year. While the average number of problems with vehicles' fuel consumption stayed the same as in 2007, the owners of large vehicles were more likely to complain about high fuel consumption, while the owners of small vehicles were less likely to complain.
"I believe this is entirely due to increased gas prices and people's sensitivity to the issue," Sargent said.
Sargent also said hybrid vehicle owners were also slightly more likely to complain about fuel consumption.
J.D. Power also gave awards to the plants which produce the vehicles with the fewest mechanical complaints and defects. The Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen, Germany, was the best overall, averaging 33 problems per 100 vehicles. In North and South America, the winner was the Toyota plant in Baja California, Mexico, which produces the Toyota Tacoma. In Asia, the top plant was Toyota's Fujimatsu plant in Japan, which makes the Toyota Prius.

Officine Panerai has some of the most vintage styles combined with contemporary materials when it comes to the luxury watches world. In the replica watches world things look almost the same – minus the high end expensive materials which are replaced by stainless steel plating or polishing. This will be my first Panerai Radiomir replica watch review and I chose the Black Seal edition which is a well established sub-model of the Radiomir family.
Replica Watch Review Of The Panerai Radiomir Black Seal
I chose the simplest and cleanest replica Panerai Black Seal I could find to be honest with you, because to me this is the spirit of Panerai watches, simplicity and a clean vintage look that is preferred by many and it will still be for many years to come.
Crystal clean and one of the simplest fake Panerai watches you can ever get. Small seconds hand at 9 o'clock, well cloned hands and markings and that's all this dial will even show you. Domed crystal and the unique case shape give it this great vintage look and feel. Even the crocodile imitation leather strap is attached to the case in the most vintage way, just like on the original. Crown unscrews different too so overall you have here a very simplistic watch that has some pretty neat details to blow your mind off with. Panerai makes this model in quite a few variations so passing this one for an original will not be that hard.
Original starts at about 4k so it's one of the most accessible Panerai watches out there. This one is powered by a manual winding movement that requires daily winding by unscrewing the crown and pulling it out to the first position. Check out the see-through back case picture with the exposed movement as it looks really good. Leather strep is also good quality and grips the wrist well. This can go up to casual wear in my opinion but it can make a very simple and clean daily accessory too. Overall the weight is good, case shape and finishing touches are in tone with the brand and model and because the original is not that expensive getting one of these babies in a good quality will definitely make it look genuine. As always, check out some more photos and give me your thoughts on it.

Proper and regular home maintenance has several benefits that don't usually occur to homeowners as they are tackling or ignoring much needed tasks. Apart from a much more appealing appearance and things less likely to malfunction, performing home maintenance tasks is a surefire way to make sure one of your biggest investments appreciates and does not depreciate.
According to an article by Chaille Ralph, "Deferring repairs and maintenance will catch up to you eventually. If you end up selling your house, you'll have to do the work anyway or accept a lower price to compensate for the house's condition. Even if you never sell, large problems will surface in time that you'll need to address."
At the end of the day, your efforts will pay off, even if they don't seem to at the time and you just find yourself hating doing the work or having to spend on services and equipment.

I've never been a fan of rounded corners and prefer squared corners but have not found any squared corners, is gtk+2/3 difficult to theme?
The default Win8 theme grew on me at work(I disabled the modern ui and use Start8) and KDE has to much bloat but has an impressive API.
Is there any minimal themes that are squared instead of rounded? IE basic gradient/colors.
The "rounded corners" are determined by the xfwm component of the theme (as opposed to the gtk2/3 components). Have a look over at xfce-look.org for xfwm4 themes. Examples of square ones include:
- http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/p … ent=154845
- http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/M … ent=157300
- http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/p … ent=148144
- http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/A … ent=156244
- http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/W … ent=155906
..... etc.
This is what u are looking for: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/?content=159304
Good black and light blue contrast plus very square borders

"Dear Domina Victoria Rage,
I come to you with theses pictures because I would love to hear what you think about my cock. Actually, what I would really love would be for everyone to know what you think about my cock. I really enjoy reading your blog and I would like it if you post these pictures in one of your blog while you tell everyone what you think. It would be an honor for you to humiliated me in your blog. I look forward to reading future posts in your blog and hopefully one of those post will be you publicly humiliating my cock and if you grant me this honor it would be great if you could encourage your readers to join in, in humiliating me.
Thank you Domina Victoria Rage
Sincerely your, Sub."
I received this email a few days ago and have left it to rot in my inbox. I was really unsure about what, if anything, I wanted to do with this since emails asking me to tell a guy what I think about his cock are a dime a dozen. This isn't even the first such email this week…but what the hell…. I can't seem to finish any other posting I'm currently working on, so a little dick humiliation is a fun and quick way to post an update. Plus: if you are so inclined, you're welcome to add your own thoughts in the comment section below!
So, what do I think about your package? Frankly, it's unremarkable.
It's not too long, not to short, not too thick, not really different or special in any way – it's very textbook and very average. There's no interesting characteristics for me to really take a jab at, which to me, is probably much worse than if you had presented me with something a little shorter or more uniquely shaped. What I DO find amusing is the Rabbit vibrator you use to compare the size of your tool. THAT vibrator clearly isn't yours…it was designed for a woman. I think there's a small humiliation in there somewhere, to pick up your girlfriend's sex toy which is clearly longer and thicker than you are and use that to measure against, I get a good laugh out of that. I never recommend comparing against toys; ladies mastabatory devices are designed for OUR pleasure, your cock is designed for YOUR pleasure.
I'm actually a little surprised and disappointed that in the photo you took while you were hard, you didn't bother to pull back your skin and show off what you've got; it all looks a little sheepish – like a scared dog hiding under a rug.
All in all, it's pretty uneventful…sorry hun, I just don't find your tool interesting enough to whip out (pun intended) any of my good material. Maybe my readers would be more apt to help you out with that.

On behalf of Law Offices of David P. Sheldon posted in Military Law on Friday, October 2, 2015.
In a recent post, we provided an overview of the courts-martial process. Today's entry takes a look at the behaviors that might constitute insubordination, and the potential punishment or consequences that might follow.
In general terms, a service member's disruption to the chain of command or authority in the military might result in a reprimand for insubordination. The Uniform Code of Military Justice in Articles 89-92 enumerates several definitions of different types of insubordination, but the general context is any behavior that disobeys, assaults or disrespects a superior officer. Notably, the officer does not necessarily have to be in the service member's direct chain of command to commit insubordination.
The punishment for insubordination might be severe, as in a dishonorable discharge. Other potential punishments include confinement and forfeiture of pay. Is ignorance of the other person's status as a superior officer a defense? Possibly. Other defenses might include self-defense or actions done in the discharge of another lawful duty.
Unfortunately, a military punishment might be felt long after the service member has left the military. In the case of a discharge that was not honorable, a service member might be disqualified from receiving veterans' benefits form the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Without such benefits, life after the military can be difficult. In fact, one study found that the risk of homelessness is seven times greater for veterans who did not have an honorable discharge.
Fortunately, a veteran can appeal his or her discharge. A successful appeal might result in a change of status, accompanied by access to VA benefits. According to one commentator, many veterans were unaware of their right to pursue an appeal. Fortunately, the number of appeals has increased in recent years, as more veterans become aware of their rights. Our law firm has also helped service members in this predicament.

For all those, like me, who lack some serious knife skills when it comes to creating a scary pumpkin face for the impending Halloween festivities tomorrow, here's a simple mask you can download, print out and stick on a pumpkin. It's an .eps file, so you should just be able to open it in any image viewer and scale it to the size of your pumpkin. I'm informed that one size does not fit all.
Thanks must go to my brother's mate, Gaz Wrafter, who quickly got this together for us. Thanks Gaz!
Oh, and watch your fingers!

TIME's Person of the Year
Earlier this week, TIME Magazine announced its 2016 Person of the Year: President Elect Donald Trump. The recognition is given to the person who has affected the news the most—good or bad—embodying what was most important about 2016. Trump was in the running alongside Barack Obama, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, Hilary Clinton, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Ahead of the announcement, TIME worked with IBM Watson and Opentopic to predict the winner of the award, declaring Prime Minister Narendra Modi to win significantly over the competition. According to the poll, Modi was set to receive 18 percent of the votes, with Obama, Trump and Assange getting just seven percent each.
Bringing these results to UNU however led to a different result. Based on the 75 randomly selected individuals connected online by real-time Swarm intelligence algorithms, Modi was actually the least likely to win TIME's award. And as the system continued to whittle candidates down, it became obvious that it was going to come down to Clinton versus Trump, with the President Elect once again besting the senator.
Hive Mind
UNU is a new form of artificial intelligence (AI) that combines real-time human input with advanced algorithms to create the world's first hive mind. It's anchored on the science of swarm intelligence, which works by allowing groups of online users to think as a collective, thus expressing itself as a single entity.
On the premise that groups, similar to the ones we see in nature, can make better decisions than individuals could make alone, swarm intelligence banks on the shared knowledge, experience, and intuition of groups.
This particular prediction, was not only made with less than a hundred people, but happened in just a matter of minutes. It shows how AI focused on harnessing the power of the crowd to make predictions can deliver results with remarkable accuracy.
Prior to this, swarm intelligence has accurately predicted winners of the Kentucky Derby, NFL playoffs, the Oscars, and the Golden Globes. While such predictions may not have any real world impact, applying the potential of swarm intelligence to business and political races could be a game changer.

My Sunday column looks at the torrent of Republican accusations that President Obama is trying to the turn the U.S. into Europe. And basically I argue that that wouldn't be the worst fate.
Look, Europe has real problems. It's in an economic crisis, and it has long-term budget problems and an over-rigid labor market that raises unemployment rates. But it also has much greater vitality than most Americans realize, and the caricature that many Americans have in their minds is just that, a caricature. On some big issues, including education, health and climate change, Europe does better than America. That's my take, anyway. What's yours? And I'd particular welcome thoughts from people living in Europe.

I'm a software engineer with 12 years of experience. I've started my career when I was 12, playing around with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, creating small websites for companies in my hometown in the country-side of Brazil. Soon, I fell in love with dynamic languages like PHP. I also had a crush with graphic design.
In 2004 I went to a technical school where I learned hardware and programming languages like Delphi and C++. After that, I studied 4 years of Computer Science, where I could improve my skills with other languages like Java, #Net and mainly web-related technologies.
In my professional career, I spent 6 years working for big companies like Accenture, Sydle, Avenue Code, and after that, I founded my own web agency, called Verticis. After 2 years, I've created my first startup, called meuingresso.com, that is today one of the biggest ticket-selling platforms in Brazil. During that time I gained experience and passion for managing people and leading tech teams.
Today I work in the Silicon Allee as a senior front-end developer and tech lead at Infinitec Solutions, one of the ventures backed by the giant FinLeap.
I build web apps. My passion is front-end development. But I also know how to build performant and modern server applications and I have huge experience with mobile development. I speak Portuguese, English, ein bisschen Deutsch, React and Node.js. I believe beautiful user interfaces are one of the keys to great experiences.
If you want to know more, please contact me. I'd love to chat or have a beer.
