Spotted on the telly last night.....my son doing his bit at the Olympics in the swimming arena!! There was great excitement when Becky, his daughter, looked up from her I-pad and saw her dad on the screen......my daughter-in-law is green with envy as she was desperate to get tickets for the Olympics....didn't get any....and now watching her husband not only seeing everything but getting paid for it!!!..Also, yesterday, we had a brilliant knitting group here with loads of birthday presents for two of us......I think we're going to have to re-name the group as the Cake Tasting Session!! My grandson was such a help to his poor Granny who is still suffering a bit with the bug. He acted as waiter, candle lighter and general dogsbody (despite previously telling me that he was going to hide for the afternoon). Meanwhile Becky acted as a model for my apron....

Dyed, washed and ready to go...it's very satisfying to end up with a good pile of coloured fabric and fleece. Yesterday we visited a local sheep farm and I managed to get a good fleece which is now soaking . I'm still struggling healthwise and this morning have bad earache despite being on anti biotics...I am willing it away as two grandchildren arrive later and I so want to enjoy having them. I'm not very good at feeling unwell, but it certainly makes me appreciate my normal good health. Well, more Olympics today and I for one will be watching local girl Gemma Stopforth (think that's how you spell it) in the finals of her swimming race tonight. We heard from policeman son, who is in the Olympic Park, last night and he said it's magic there! Have a good day x
Saturday, 28 July 2012
I've made the most of the good weather and spent some time dyeing (that's actually whatI've felt like doing myself...but am slowly getting over my bug!)..I have a plan up my sleeve, so have been dyeing mainly solid colours. As you can see, there's still some fabric in the pot..can't
wait to see what it will eventually look like. My idea is, that when the winter comes, I will have a wonderful stash of wools and fabrics to work with...I have visions of embellishing. felting. knit and crochet, spinning etc. etc. etc. I love it!
Still feeling a bit rough after the bug attacked me....mind you, I did manage to stay up and watch the Olympic celebrations....I thought it was fantastic and very sensitively done. The mix of celebration and yet the awareness of suffering worked, and for me, was totally unexpected. I've put these pictures of flowers on today because looking at them makes me feel better! We have two more days before we are surrounded by grandchildren for the whole month of August, so I really must get my strength up!!
Friday, 27 July 2012
I've been struggling with rather vicious bug and yesterday had a very high temperature....am now on anti biotics, so will hopefully soon be back on a roll....but am feeling rather washed out! Today Olympics start and the whole country seems to be getting into it...we saw the torch last week - it was brilliant how everybody was out in the streets and chatting....a great atmosphere. My son is policing at the Olympic Stadium - so I hope all goes well. Have a good day x

Middle Farm is a typical Sussex farm which has brought itself up to date and earns income from the general public. I have enjoyed going there for many years but now it is particularly useful because it is exactly mid-way between here and Worthing where Emma and Jack live - so it is an extremely useful handing over point. The other day we enjoyed coffee and cake in the garden. The birds were having a high old time and were mopping up all our crumbs! As Emma said, "If I were a bird I'd make sure I lived somewhere like this!!" By the way, looking at the top picture has given me an idea for a weaving.......

What is art? The moving bus is on top of the De la Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. It is the brainchild of artist Richard Wilson and the title of the Exhibition is "Hang on a minute, I've got a good idea"!! Whatever else it is or isn't it is certainly good fun and stretched our imagination! Standing underneath it is nerve wracking, especially when the bus starts to tip downward....anyway, during the day yesterday we had various artistic attempts and I thought these pictures of Jack's were really good...trouble is I found myself washing up with an extremely green washing up brush this morning. Not sure how that happened, but I need to get a new one....
All through the bad weather my little flowers have been struggling valiantly to survive. They now have their reward and are basking in the sunshine and enjoying being alive! So am I!! Yesterday was a busy day and I spent a lot of time in the local swimming pool with Jack (whose swimming has improved beyond recognition since the beginning of term). Afterwards we were starving and so went and had well-deserved refreshments at Macdonalds!! All through the summer holidays various assortments of grandchildren will be here, but I shall definitely try to keep the creative spirit going......

The displays in Anthropologie, one of my favourite stores in London, are so inspiring. I love the way the mugs are stored, creating a repetitive pattern. I rarely spend any money in the shop but I always gain treasure by looking....Summer has finally arrived in the U.K. so I hope you all enjoy the wonderful sunshine...
As I think I mentioned the other day, my cat Wooster has become obsessed with me...wherever I go, whatever I do, there is a loud rumbling sound. This is all very well, but it does make it difficult to actually DO anything!! Anyway, after tipping him off the table, I managed to finish some work I have been doing on pockets....and today I am the proud wearer of pocketed jeans!! The sun is shining and I am off west because I have an appointment at mid day. I then shall walk up on the Downs with two newly shampooed and trimmed canines!
Friday, 20 July 2012
Charming views of an English town...I think Arundel is such a special place and just wandering around the streets is inspiring. It is no wonder that it draws artists from all over the world. Next month is the Arundel Festival which is always a great event......Hopefully today will be the last day of rain for a bit. We are promised some sunshine....??? Whatever the weather, today is the day of dog shampooing and (hopefully) some painting. Have a good one x
Wednesday, 18 July 2012
Well...I'm back home (again) and have no plans to go away again for a few weeks!! We had a good few days away and, amongst other things, spent a few hours in Chichester (a place we love). I couldn't resist showing you these sculptures within the Cathedral compound. The setting was just perfect, and I really love these figures and only wish we'd had more time there. I also went to a good art exhibition in the Oxmarket galleries. Honestly - there are some very clever people around! Today I must get my head around domestic stuff......and walk and swim as usual this morning. As I write this - there is a huge rumbling sound.....one of my boys (Wooster the cat) is beside himself with joy at my presence. Will not leave me alone, and when he found he was uncomfortable on my lap last night when I was spinning, he promptly jumped into my basket of fleece and settled down,,,,,,
Saturday, 14 July 2012
My friend Val popped in yesterday and inspired me to finish off some whacky creations....it's strange how friends can always set the creative juices flowing.....Also, Linda, who owns the lovely shop across the road, sold quite a bitt of my stuff, so I am beginning to collect the pennies once again!!>>However, we're off again today (life's seems to be one long holiday at the moment) , so I shall not be blogging until the end of the week. In the meantime, I hope the sun shines (!!??) on you all, and on the Olympic torch which is coming our way this week.....
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE TELEPHONE BOXES? We went to London yesterday and had a good day going to art exhibitions and a piano concert....but....the telephone boxes have changed........having said that, there was a definite arty buzz about the place...flags flying. murals, screens and fantastic window displays. London is definitely preparing itself for the Olympics (despite the weather) I just love the cosmopolitan - ness of a big city, but it was good to get home and sleep.....in fact I slept for hours and hours last night...and still feel like going to sleep again, but I must get up and get going and shall venture forth to the woods in the rain. Have a good day x

Indie Boutiques: LAMA: Latin America in the Modern Age
I'm debuting a new feature today called Indie Boutiques. An indie boutique is a shop that carries the work of independent designers, artists and crafters…as opposed to shops that just carry the work of one person. The Indie Fixx Shop is an indie boutique. I've already written posts like this in the past (here, here, here and here), but I'm just giving them a name now.
Today, for the Indie Boutiques debut I'd like to share LAMA with you. I discovered LAMA via an ad on Bloesem and I'm so glad that I clicked on that ad! As someone with Molas, prints from Diego Rivera and Guatemalan textiles on her walls, you can say that I have a thing for Latin art, culture and design. In fact, I did a little dance in my chair when I read Lama's tagline: Latin America in the Modern Age. Once I started clicking around, and I was completely hooked!
Based in California, LAMA carries items from abroad, work from Latino artists living in the US as well as other artists inspired by Latin culture. Selections include homewares, bath & bod goods, accessories, paper goods and more. The shop is such a wonderful Latino feast for the eyes that I really had trouble choosing which goods to share with you. I finally decided on those pictured below and you will have to visit LAMA to see more for yourself!

To quote Pat Flynn from Chronicles of Strength (love this simple, yet effective way of summing up this whole blog post in 3 small symbols)...
"- = +" :-)
The golden rule in movement: REGRESS TO PROGRESS!...
For the trainers out there: please don't expect your client to "get" movement by handing them a weight they're not ready for and just expecting them to move correctly by shouting out a few cues to them…it ain't gonna happen!
The only thing that happens is they learn bad movement and possibly land up with an injury.
For the fitness enthusiasts out there: you have to break down movement and work on the weaknesses within a movement pattern in order to progress a movement. Don't just think that practising single leg squats or pistols is going to get you better at doing pistols...it's only gonna get you injured. There is a reason why you struggle with certain movements, you need to find that reason and work on it! Maybe your ankles aren't mobile enough; maybe your hips are unstable; maybe you lack good sequencing in your inner unit (core); maybe you have flexility issues in either certain muscles or joints; maybe fear is holding you back; maybe all of the above! :-o There are a number of possible, likely reasons but you need to find yours.
Just because your mate did loads of hamstring flexibility and went from finding pistols difficult to being able to achieve them, doesn't mean that's going to work for you. We're all individuals here and you need to treat yourself as one. And holding a kettlebell out in front of you is not the answer, yeah, you might feel more stable but maybe, just maybe that is because you have core issues and the kettlebell is forcing your body to react to the weight by engaging your core before you descend, but what happens when you try again without the kettlebell?
I'd suggest ditching the kettlebell and stepping away from the pistol for a while to work on core sequencing...once you've made progression there, find ways to progress. I'm just using pistols as an example, this applies to anything in life. And it takes time, you're not gonna fix things overnight.
So please, think before you cause yourself harm. If I gave you one Golden Rule of advice it would be CHECK YOUR BREATHING! This is highly important for any form of stability work. If your'e unsure, my stability exercise page has a great description of how to check your breathing and how to correct it, I have video links on Youtube to help as well & my facebook page has a link to an awesome interview with Dr Perry Nickleston & Julie Wiebe on the pelvic floor & breathing...Check it out! Core function begins with breathing!
I repeat: Regress to progress…Perfection before load…Get assessed if you're unsure...

Now I am probably the last guy to give anything close to management advice. In fact, I can give you a list of people whose wisdom is infinitely more deserving of your attention and imitation. But I have had the pleasure of making mistakes. Lots of them – good ones too! If there's a silver lining, it's that I'm the prime beneficiary of my own stupidity and I've learned (the hard way) to avoid repeating mistakes. As General Patton said, "I don't pay for the same real estate twice".
If you're like me, one of those mistakes is a tendency for us to fall in love with our own planning prowess. Our goals and intentions flow seamlessly into actions then into results. Standing in front of the starting line, there are no hiccups and no wildcard scenarios. Surely we've accounted for every contingency. We convince ourselves that the ecosystem that we operate in cannot penetrate our flawless designs.
But we're wrong and too many of us will wise up too far down the line. One of the best things I've come to realize in my short time in government is that no plan is too good to be amended or abandoned. Better yet, a plan that doesn't change from start to finish is likely one that was carried blindly to conclusion.
If I can make a suggestion it's this: set aside time to take stock of what is really going well, and conversely, what you had hoped would go well but isn't. Do it sooner than you think you will need to – wayward ships don't typically right themselves due to the passage of time. It's a tough conversation, especially if you have to admit you were misguided.
The UMANT team recently did just that for our 2016 year. We recognized which plans were succeeding, and which were noble, but doomed efforts. Our goal for the second half of the year is to slowly bring these wayward ships back on course.
See an area that we can improve upon or change in the second half of 2016? Drop me a note at the email below.

text: According to research home owners get the 'seven year itch' towards their properties, and are ready to move after 7 years and 4 months. Women it seems are mainly the ones behind this urge to move; triggered by 'house envy' after visiting friends more desirable properties. Wanting to keep up with the Joneses or out do them seems to be another element to wanting to move home. Boredom and irritation; with a property are also to blame for wanting to move. What once was your ideal home now just isn't doing it for you; you want open planning living, a dressing room or a something with more character, everyone will have their own list of why their home isn't right and start the search for their new ideal home. Retirement; is a time when people look to move, after living close to work or staying close to schools and family now is the time when home owners can spread their wings and live where ever they want. With many choosing to move to less expensive areas to take advantage of cheaper property prices and to maximise their retirement income. It is also a time when many decide to down size not needing or wanting the original large family home. Moving for work; is another common reason why people move home. Wanting to be closer to their work place to avoid a long commute it is a logical reason for wanting to move. A change in a relationship; can lead to a house move whether it is getting married, buying with a partner or getting a divorce all are reasons for wanting and needing a new property. Downsizing; there are many reasons why people decide to move to a smaller property from not needing the extra space, wanting to reduce day to day costs, to wanting a home in area that is more expensive but a smaller property is the only option. Upsizing; wanting and needing more space makes it necessary for a family to move. Money problems; can lead to a house move and downsizing can help when people are in financial difficulties other times people are forced to move as they can no longer afford the mortgage payments and the up keep of a property. Fresh start; sometimes there just comes a time when people just feel they need new surroundings and want a new environment to start over. Reasons Why Maybe You Shouldn't Move Moving is very expensive and stressful so before you think about putting a board up outside, have a think about why you want to move and is it actually worth the money and hassle… Unless you intend to stay locally then moving away from friends and family can be very difficult for all the family. It's true that you can make new friends and have old friends to visit, but there's nothing more precious than old friendships and family. If you have children then up routing them from their school can be stressful and potential the wrong thing to do, especially if they are in the middle of their exams. Careful thought should be given to your child's education over a house move. It has to be said that it is very stressful moving home so look at your own home and see where improvements could be made. For example if you are looking for additional living space could you add a conservatory or home extension? Extending your property will be less stressful and cheaper! Moving is expensive! Let's just list a few costs involved; estate agents fees, solicitors, stamp duty, Removal Company, decorating and new furnishings! And that's before you a start preparing your own home to attract buyers.

Alan Moore Quotes About HateQuotes about: Hate
I thought as much. Miss Murray, though I am a beast, do not think that I am stupid. I know that I am hideous and hateful. I am not loved, nor ever hope to be. Nor am I fool enough to think that what I feel for you is love. But in this world, alone, I do not hate you. And alone in this world, you do not hate me.
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle.

As the European travel industry faces global economic pressure, online booking channels continue to increase market share. Online sales growth for leisure/unmanaged business travel for 2008, projected at 19 percent, is significantly greater than the 3 percent rate expected for the European travel industry as a whole.
Internet bookings of leisure/unmanaged business travel will represent 29 percent of the ?246 billion European travel industry at the close of 2008, according to the fourth edition of PhoCusWright's European Online Travel Overview.
"Global economic challenges have exerted downward pressure on the European travel industry as a whole in 2008," said Carroll Rheem, director, research for PhoCusWright. "Consumers are looking online to find the best value for their money and operators are looking to cut distribution costs as much as possible. Although overall travel demand will suffer, these trends will drive more business online in 2009."
PhoCusWright's research also proves that while Europe is playing catch up to the U.S. in online market penetration, some regions are more mature than others.
"The United Kingdom and Scandinavia are well ahead of the curve," added Ralph Merten, PhoCusWright market analyst for Europe. "Scandinavia represents only 5.5 percent of the total European travel industry, however, it accounts for a full 8 percent of European online bookings.
In 2008, Scandinavians will have booked over 40 percent of their travel online." PhoCusWright forecasts that half of travel in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia will be booked on leisure/unmanaged business travel sites by 2010.
European analysts have identified several key market trends in 2009 and beyond. These include:
- Traditional air carriers are gaining ground as low-cost carriers reach online saturation. European traditional carriers set all time Internet sales records in 2007.
- The hotel segment holds great potential for both supplier Web sites and online travel agencies (OTAs). Online bookings grew 30 percent in 2007.
- The European rail segment is experiencing solid gains and rail Web site bookings will increase by ?1.2 billion in 2008.
- Tour operators are building their online brands successfully in certain mature European markets. Gross bookings of tour operator Web sites grew by 12.4 percent in 2007.
"The current economic environment will shake up the traditional layout of the travel industry," Ms. Rheem cautioned. "As we have seen in the past, new challenges can be a catalyst for shifts in market share. Fragmentation, tour operator distribution networks and fundamental cultural preferences will exert powerful influence over how individual countries will adapt. Our research and projections are beginning to pinpoint what Europe and its largest individual markets will look like in 2010."
PhoCusWright's European Online Travel Overview Fourth Edition and select market data tables are available now. More information - including Table of Contents and Methodology - is available online. Six individual regional-level reports will also be available December 15.

A bit less scared now- Thank You GLORIOUS LORD!
Please read the post below this one as well as this one. I have been praying. I am comforted, strengthened, but still not looking forward to the point that I often get to with Trigeminal Neuralgia (the suicide disease) see
It gets to a point where my only possible thought is a screaming prayer inside my head, and it is so all-encompassing that I am not able to even make my brain force my body to function enough to get myself off the bed, onto the stretcher to take the ambulance to the hospital, so I often tell Mom not to call them, I will just stay home and suffer because I am in no shape to explain my problem or defend myself at that point.
What a PRECIOUS, GLORIOUS gift that we can pray, and our Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus, and the comforter, the Holy Ghost...will wrap their arms around us, will calm our mind and heart, and will strengthen us!
I do not see the purpose of the suffering I am facing in the next while until I can find a Dr. to treat me, or until my regular Dr. returns to the country...but I know there is a purpose, and I will learn it someday. It doesn't lessen the pain to know that, though. I have been told by a dozen nurses that most people with cancer will never feel the amount of pain that I do, and they are given as much pain killer as they want, but people like me who have to try to keep running a household and a life and have to keep living and functioning, are treated very badly, like criminals for needing pain relief.
I've had enough of unbearable pain, and if it does get bad enough that my heart stops again, it will just mean that I will have another Near Death Experience, and will see the spirit world again, and then be told that "my work on earth is not yet done", and will be sent back to my body again. When my spirit goes back into my body after an NDE, my arms and legs feel as heavy as cement to lift, compared to the effortless, painless experience just a few minutes earlier, only in my spirit body. My body feels like a prison compared to the freedom my spirit had. Every sound, color, thought is duller, not as clear and bright...so it feels as if this is the dream, and that life in the spirit world is the REAL life.
Maybe I am at a stage of my life right now where I need more instruction from the other side, and maybe that is why I will have to go through what comes next, no matter how painful or dangerous.
I'm just so frustrated and ready to move to another country, but too weak to do that. A country where I could pay for medical care, rather than being told that I am ever allowed to get medical care again, no matter how bad off I get.
I think God has over-estimated my strength. I am wearing out quickly, and have become physically useless, and can't get physical help. Can't even have my husband, which He gave to me! SO FRUSTIPATING! (That's just another of my own words, like absotively and posolutely and diriculous instead of ridiculous.) My family and close friends have learned my language. lol.
I want to be with my husband, and live near my children and grand-children, but since I would be physically unable to do much with them or for them, maybe this is the reason God is not letting me be with them. Ok, enough thinking out loud. Going to try to relax so the pain won't get so bad.
P.S. A note to the Christian group who is telling me that medicine will not heal me so I should not be taking medicine. Medicine will not heal me either, it helps me function. With diabetes and other body parts that stop working, we often need help. ALL the medicine that I take is Natural except for 2. One is for pain, one is for diabetes. People with lupus have a lot of bad reactions to prescriptions. Actually, even strong painkillers are natural, but they are very controlled by the medical system. So I guess ALL my meds except 1 are all natural!
I don't agree in the belief that people should go off their insulin or heart medicine and expect healing, and that's my right to free thought and free expression, just as your suggestions to me are your right.
Bless you.

Real Estate Advice From Property Tycoons
Real Estate Advice From Property Tycoons
With historic low prices, many people are entering the real estate market for the first time. This article is a great place to get some useful real estate tips you can use when buying a piece of property.
When entering into any real estate deal, it is always best to hire a lawyer. The contracts and requirements of buying real estate can be overwhelming. A real estate lawyer can be the deciding factor in making sure you get not only the best deal, but also the protection you need.
When you buy a home and flip you could end up making a nice profit. Some people buy run down homes and fix them up to sell for a higher price. However you must understand that this can take time, money and effort to do. Make sure that you have the skills and/or the money to get a place fixed up correctly to code.
Perform a sex offender search in the area of the home you are considering buying. Real estate agents are not required to disclose this information voluntarily, although many must answer honestly if directly asked. Parents especially should be aware of this information before moving to a new area. Be sure to check the offense in detail, as not all offenders are necessarily dangerous.
Be cautious when hiring a home inspector. Get recommendations from friends and family, and it is usually wise to hire your own inspector, even if the seller offers to have it inspected. Do not go with the first inspector you find, call and interview at least three so you can be confident in your choice.
If you are thinking of buying a home, saving money now is the key. Most people begin to talk about buying a home well before they actually make the purchase. This is the opportune time to put away money to reach your down payment goal which is typically going to be about 20 percent of the home cost.
If you trust the realtor you have chosen for your real estate purchase, it can be in your interest to ask about service providers for other aspects of the purchase. Realtors work with mortgage lenders and others on a regular basis and can recommend those that they have a professional relationship with. By doing so, much of the guesswork can be taken out of the process.
If you're considering buying a house in a new neighborhood, don't just take the real estate agent's description of the area. Find out about crime levels from the local police department, pick up the local newspaper and visit the local grocery store. You can find out a lot about the local area by doing these three things.
With the information you just learned, you should start feeling confident in making a purchase with real estate now. Remember that the information you learned is only a portion of the information that's out there. When you have some more free time, look up other tips you can gather and use them towards your strategies for buying real estate and success should follow.

Community Garden Update
Did you ever notice that snow shovelling seems much easier if you imagine that you are turning the soil in your garden bed, instead? Well, during these chilly winter weeks, a few Heron Parkers have turned their minds to gardening, and submitted an application for City funds to contribute to start-up costs for a community garden in the Heron Park neighbourhood. I'd written about this idea in previous Herald issues, and invited interested participants to get involved in the process.
Our initial vision is to lay out 10 or so individual garden plots, as well as have a children's garden and a high raised bed for seniors and others who may have trouble kneeling down. We've scouted out a few possible vacant public lands, but there are various approvals and tests that need to happen before we know for sure where the site will be. We'll also talk to the neighbours in the immediate vicinity to identify and address their concerns, and will hold a public meeting to answer questions…and to recruit gardeners and volunteers!
If we do get resources to get the garden off the ground, we'll post updates on this website, so check back here regularly for details. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details or if you'd like to help out!

July 7, 1993, Section B, Page 7Buy Reprints
Over a breakfast of cantaloupe and orange juice yesterday, Orlando Cepeda, the man I remembered from youth as the Baby Bull, spoke passionately about the two-tier assignment that had brought him to New York.
As the San Francisco Giants' vice president of community services, Cepeda, who enjoyed the best years of a fabulous career with the Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals, explained that a large part of his mission was to spread the gospel of baseball and inspire young people, especially Puerto Rican and Dominican youngsters, with his life story.
This afternoon Cepeda will speak to a group of teen-agers near Yankee Stadium.
There is another, thinly veiled, motive to the appearances. Cepeda, who turns 56 in September, will be on the Hall of Fame ballot for the 15th and final time in December. In the intervening months, Cepeda will have to convince members of the Baseball Writers Association of America that he should be selected.
On the face of it, Cepeda, who enjoyed a 17-year career with six teams, has the statistics: unanimous Rookie of the Year selection with San Francisco in 1958; 1967 National League Most Valuable Player with St. Louis; a seven-time National League All-Star, and 379 career home runs. The Giants are careful to point out that of 18 retired players who have hit more than 300 home runs and batted over .295, only Cepeda is not in the Hall of Fame.
One major detail is omitted from the fact sheet being circulated by the Giants on Cepeda's behalf. It occurred in 1975, a year after his retirement, when Cepeda was arrested at San Juan Airport while attempting to pick up what authorities say was between 60 to 125 pounds of marijuana. Cepeda disagreed with the amount, though never denied he was picking up the shipments. He was sentenced to five years in jail in 1976 and served 10 months.
For a significant number of voters, Cepeda's conviction overrode his statistics and achievements.
"I made a huge mistake," Cepeda said. "I have no one to blame but myself. But I'm human. That happened in 1975, I feel I've paid my dues. There has to be forgiveness, and a second chance."
In the wake of his conviction, Cepeda became an outcast on the island that hailed him as a hero. Upon reflection, Cepeda realized that he had not only injured himself but had brought shame to one of the island's royal baseball families. His father was alternately called the Bull and the Babe Ruth of the Caribbean. Cepeda was known as the Baby Bull.
Cepeda signed a minor league contract in 1955 for $500. He used the money to bury his father, who died the day before his son's minor-league debut. Cepeda joined the Giants in 1958.
Thirty-five years later, the essential question is: Does Orlando Cepeda belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame? Is the moral justification for keeping Cepeda out of the Hall of Fame -- a drug conviction 18 years ago -- outweighed by his on-field performance and subsequent work with young adults?
In this instance, accomplishment seems to outweigh the crime. The greater issue is whether sportswriters have any business voting athletes into halls of fame in the first place. I don't think they do, no more than athletes have any business selecting sportswriters to their hall of fame.
In any event, Cepeda has paid his dues: prison, divorce, loss of stature. He left Puerto Rico for Los Angeles in 1984 and spent four years there spinning his wheels, being ignored by baseball and primarily making a living doing fantasy camps. In 1988 he was introduced to Buddhism and was encouraged to convert by Tina Turner and Herbie Hancock, the musician.
"My entire life turned around," Cepeda said. "I got rid of all the anger, the resentment; the most important thing is that I stopped blaming other people for my actions and took control of my life."
Cepeda sees his campaign to be elected to the Hall of Fame as asking for a second chance; in fact, he's already been given a second chance.
He's back in baseball, working with an organization that believes in him. His oldest son, Orlando Jr., works in marketing for Adidas and represents Latin ball players; Malcolm Orlando, a third baseman, recently signed a minor-league contract with the Kansas City Royals; Ali, 16, lives with Orlando and his wife Miriam.
Another son, Aeirson, 13, lives in Puerto Rico with his mother; his daughter, Wendy, lives with her husband in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
"If I don't get in, then it wasn't meant to be," Cepeda said. "But going into Hall of Fame would give my life a sense of completion. More important, I would show the whole world that -- even when your world falls apart, the impossible is possible -- if you regroup."

The After You Read activities check students' comprehension and extend their learning. Students are asked to give thoughtful consideration of the text through creative and evaluative short-answer questions and journal prompts. Also included are writing tasks, graphic organizers, comprehension quiz, test prep, word search, and crossword to further develop students' critical thinking and writing skills, and analysis of the text. About the Novel: The Hundred Dresses is a Newbery Honor winning story about a young girl who is teased and mocked by her classmates. Wanda Petronski is different from the rest of the children in her class. She is poor and friendless, and is seated in the worse seat in the classroom. Constantly teased and mocked by her classmates for wearing the same faded blue dress every day, Wanda claims to own 100 dresses. This obvious lie causes her peers to mock her even more, resulting in her father's decision to move her to a different school. Before she leaves, she enters a drawing contest where she designs 100 different dresses. She moves away before realizing she has won the contest and the respect of her classmates. The Hundred Dresses is a heartwarming story about hardships, acceptance and perseverance. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.

Aviation History
BUSINESS CARGO STEPHEN TRIMBLE / WASHINGTON DC US defence strategists launch airship initiative Public/private partnership designed to create a civilian industry and spread risk US defence planners are proposing a radical new business strategy to create a civilian cargo airship industry from scratch. The plan is aimed at the commercial market, but the private airship fleet would be made available to the US mili tary for special mobility needs. Dubbed the Mobilus Initiative, the business plan is the brainchild of the Office of Force Transformation (OFT), which reports to defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The Center for Army Analysis is also participating in early market and engineering studies. The heart of the strategy is the formation of a public/private part nership, linking a range of govern ment and private customers, along with a distributed supply chain, says Lt Col Michael Woodgerd, OFT analyst and author of the Mobilus plan. "Somebody has got to get the ball rolling," he says. Mobilus's goal is to avoid the mistakes that arose from a series of flawed attempts to establish a cargo airship manufacturing base, which most recently claimed Germany's CargoLifter. While the new plan would rely on much the same cus tomer base as CargoLifter - heavy construction projects in remote areas and produce suppliers - it removes the responsibility for manufacturing and engineering decisions from a single company. Instead, the OFT initiative would seek to recruit a large and diverse supply chain involving airship companies and traditional aero space suppliers, says Woodgerd. The premise of the Mobilus strat egy is that the technical and busi ness challenges of creating the large- airship manufacturing base exceed the abilities of any one company. The concept of a large airship that can haul loads weighing hun dreds or even thousands of tonnes across oceans and continents is not without detractors. Military strate gists question the survivability and vulnerability of a massive floating object, but supporters of the project argue that the airship could be defended by installing radars and air-defence missiles. Cargo airships also pose a diffi cult logistical problem when they are unloaded. Buoyancy requires the airships to be reloaded with an equal amount of ballast - a poten tial challenge at remote construc tion sites. Woodgerd counters that systems could be developed to control the buoyancy of the airship and, if that fails, the vehicle could be reloaded with water, provided there is a source nearby. TAKEOVER Arkia owner cleared to control El Al Israeli anti-trust commissioner Dror Strum has approved the takeover of national airline El Al by Arkia Airlines owner Knafaim- Arkia, but has attached significant strings to the deal. The main requirement is that Knafaim-Arkia must sell all its current aviation operations, including the international and domestic businesses of Arkia Airlines and two tourism compa nies. This will clear the way for its 22% stake in El Al to be increased to 52% by December. El Al was floated on the Tel Aviv stock exchange in 2003. Knafaim-Arkia will get voting rights in El Al in December after it exercises options and becomes a major shareholder, although it will be allowed to vote earlier if El Al plans a major "strategic" move. The anti-trust commissioner also rules that any aviation units remaining unsold by the year- end deadline will be immediately transferred to a trustee. PURCHASE JULIAN MOXON / LONDON Oinetiq sets out on acquisition trail UK science and technology group Qinetiq has completed its first acquisition since it was partially privatised in 2003 and has con firmed plans to target US compa nies in the next few months. Qinetiq paid an initial £9.2 mil lion ($17 million) for HVR Consulting Services, a UK-based defence consulting business employing 95 people. HVR will remain a separate company, with two Qinetiq managers on the board. A further £3.8 million could be paid depending on HVR's finan cial performance. "HVR meets our firm criteria for UK acquisitions," says Qinetiq managing director, integrated ser vices, Mike Goodfellow. "It is prof itable and successful in its own right, has a strong management team and complementary techni cal skills." The company confirms recent Chisholm: looking at US companies comments by chief executive Sir John Chisholm that it is looking at acquiring US companies in the $100-200 million bracket and that it would finance all such deals out of its own pocket. Qinetiq's annual results for 2003-4 reveal a 28% rise in profits, to £56.7 million, on turnover of £795.4 million. HVR was formed in 1983 and has carved a niche in the provision of project engineering and support, cost analysis and risk assessment. It also offers specialist software and comprehensive training for defence personnel. Qinetiq will not confirm if it is looking at civil or military acquisi tions in the USA. It is involved in the US Joint Strike Fighter pro gramme and has an increasing presence in commercial aircraft and airport security. In July Qinetiq won a three-and- a-half-year contract to act as the synthetic environment integrator for the UK Ministry of Defence's ground-based air-defence system integrated project team. At the Farnborough air show the com pany demonstrated an advanced 3D virtual design system FINANCE Canada loan helps Comair Delta Air Lines subsidiary Comair has been selected as the first beneficiary of a new Canadian government loan pro gramme designed to stimulate aerospace sales, and will receive an unspecified loan to buy 10 regional jets from Bombardier Aerospace. Delta's regional affiliates are Bombardier's biggest cus tomers, with 329 CRJ regional jets on order or in service. The close relationship between Bombardier and the Canadian government has come under heavy criticism from opposition parties and government critics, who question why the Comair loan is going through the Canada Account, which is designed to handle loans too risky for Export Development, Canada's corporate account. www.fliqhtinternational.com FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL 17-23 AUGUST 2004 23

Dubbed as the "Sunshine Vitamin", vitamin D is produced when the skin is exposed to the ultraviolet (UV) light in sunlight. Vitamin D is essential in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis as it is responsible for absorbing calcium in the bones. However, vitamin D is not confined to the bone alone because receptors are present in nearly all the nuclei in the body and its actions are extremely diverse.
Here are some of the worst case scenarios when you don't get enough of this vitamin.

Why am I raising money?
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.
I am going to be 40 in April 2014 and have decided that I need to mark this occasion in a fairly grand fashion by completing a series of challenges/events through the year that will raise funds for charity. So why the Cardiomyopathy Association.
Both these incidents crippled our family and suddenly HOCM was a killer and a very big deal.
I am part of a family that has been torn apart by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and if the work that is being done can in some way stop this happening to another family like mine, then it will have been worth every bit of effort.
My story starts with an irregularity being picked up on my mum's routine ECG done pre-op and following further tests she was diagnosed with HOCM. At this point my brother and I were tested and I was given the all clear whilst my brother was found also to have HOCM. At this point we thought this was a minor ailment which by following some basic advice was no big deal. Naive maybe but a way of dealing with it at the time.
My mum is one of five so her siblings went ahead and made their own decisions about whether they wanted to be tested or not.
A few years later my 34 year old uncle, Richard, dropped dead at the steering wheel of his car causing a crash that thankfully no one else was injured in. His wife was 12 weeks pregnant at the time so he never saw his son.
Six weeks later my 27 year old cousin, Billy, dropped dead on a football pitch.
Both these incidents crippled our family and suddenly HOCM was a killer and a very big deal.
My mum died, age 55, in 2005 after suffering a stroke due to HOCM. My son Matthew was only 11 months old at the time so never really knew his Grandma. My other son Ben was 4 so he does remember her but only just!
My brother, Andrew died in 2011 after suffering a stroke due to HOCM. He was only 34. He left behind a young wife, Siobhan and his daughter, Holly who was 5 at the time. Holly has currently been given the all clear but continues to be monitored.
If I can help to raise awareness of the disease in even a small way then hopefully this will be a help to other families.
So my challenges over the next 12 months include a 5K, a 10K, the great north swim all helping me get fit to trek the Great Wall of China next October. I will be paying for all of these events myself so all funds raised will go to the Cardiomyopathy Association. I will also be doing cake bakes, craft sales and also shaving my head!! I hope you can support me through all these challenges.
Head Shave 23rd November 3.30pm at Oasis in Hoylake

Evaluation periods are twelve weeks in length. This is critical because of the time it takes to track results when mobility is limited in daily activity. Some see results quickly, some take a little longer. The important thing to remember is that at Pushing Boundaries, we don't set limits on what you can achieve.
Clients are not limited to just a short "program" lasting a couple of weeks or a certain number of visits. During your initial evaluation, we will design a program based on your abilities and goals. From there, we will work together to incorporate and encourage movement and activites into your daily life.
It is important to dedicate time to your recovery program; that's why we are here.

Just days after producer Matthew Vaughn boarded Fox's Fantastic Four reboot, the project is getting a new writer. Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) has signed on to polish the most recent script written by Jeremy Slater.
The Fantastic Four Marvel comic books debuted in 1961, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, which featured Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (The Invisible Girl), her brother Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). The quartet were exposed to high levels of radiation during an outer space mission which left them all with amazing abilities. Mr. Fantastic has the ability to infinitely stretch his body, The Invisible Girl can both make herself invisible and create energy shields, The Human Torch controls fire, and The Thing has super-human strength, although it came at the price of a radical disfigurement.
Fox's new rendition is said to have a more grounded, sci-fi approach that taps deeper into the comic book's well of villains, which included Doctor Doom, Galactus, Kree, and Skrull. The comic book was previously adapted into 2005's Fantastic Four and 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis.
Josh Trank (Chronicle) is directing the reboot, although no production schedule was given at this time. Seth Grahame-Smith wrote both the novel and the screenplay adaptation for last year's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. He also wrote the screenplay for Dark Shadows, and co-created the short-lived MTV series The Hard Times of RJ Berger with David Katzenberg.

At 1920 x 1080, Nexuiz was not playable when using the open-source Radeon Linux driver stack with its frame-rate at just around 15 FPS -- including when swap buffer waits was disabled and color tiling enabled. Meanwhile, the official Catalyst 11.8 driver was four times faster on the same hardware.
The open-source Warsow game was better when color tiling was enabled and swap buffer waits disabled, but still no competition for the Catalyst blob that was twice as fast for this Qfusion-powered OpenGL game.
For the ioquake3-based OpenArena game, the A8-3850 with its Radeon HD 6550D graphics was three times faster using the proprietary Catalyst driver.

Skins Quotes 5/30/18: Gruden, Manusky
May 30, 2018
Head Coach Jay Gruden
On his impressions of RB Rob Kelley accepting the challenge of more competition this offseason:
"It's been a positive impression for sure. You know, Rob's never been an issue as far as work ethic is concerned. He's always gone out and done his job and been very engaging in the meetings, comes out here and takes what he learned in the meeting room and accepts the challenge and plays well. So Rob's doing a good job. It's good to have him healthy, watch him run around. [He] got a haircut. No more dreads on him, so he looks a little different. I think he's lost a little bit of weight. He looks lighter. But nothing's changed with the way he's played. He's accepted the challenge, like you say, and done some really good things… It's early, we're not live, but I like where he's at."
On the next step in Kelley's development:
"Consistency in all phases. I think he's getting better in the passing game, without a doubt. The vision points in pass protection, his routes are more crisp, without a doubt, and obviously we just keep tracking these runs and being decisive with his cuts, that's all we do right now. Obviously ball security, he's doing fine with that, so I think just mastering all phases of the game is what he's got to continue to do and he'll have to continue to do throughout his whole career, not just this year."
On how much he has started to think about which running backs he will keep:
"None. I haven't thought about it at all. I'll let the guys play it out and see how it goes. We have more practices here in the offseason, then we start training camp, we have four preseason games, we have the Jets coming to town. We're looking for the total package. Obviously each guy will have their own role, but for the most part, we'll just play the best player. And at some point, special teams could play a role also. They're all great kids. They're all working extremely hard. It's going to be a tough decision when that happens, but I'm not going to think about that now. I want to be fair to all of them, let them all have an opportunity."
On how nice it was to have TE Jordan Reed present today:
"Oh, it's nice. He's been here. You know, he's been working hard with the trainers now. He might not have been out on the field every day that you guys have been here, but he's been here. His attendance has been excellent. His rehab schedule is on track to being ready, and I like where he's at. His upper body strength is great. I think he's on track to be there for training camp. We'll wait and see."
On his impressions of the offense today:
"We're trying to get some continuity there on offense a little bit. We've got some line people moving in and out there, but for the most part, did some good things. I like the way our defense is flying around and making plays. We got a couple turnovers yesterday, had some more today, so that's good to see. And then offensively, like you said, we're going to make our share of plays, defense is going to make their share of plays. That's what we're looking for, really. We're looking for good, sound competition. And at the end of the day, we're all just trying to get better."
On if he's pleased with the improvement of the defense this offseason:
"I mean, we're on our way to being what we want to be, without a doubt. It starts with the personnel and then making sure everybody buys into what Coach [Greg] Manusky is teaching and the rest of the coaches. So right now we're just at the entry stages and we're teaching defense, but from a personnel standpoint, there's a lot to be excited about, especially when you add Daron Payne to the mix, Jonathan Allen is back healthy and at linebacker you add Shaun Dion Hamilton for some depth, [Troy] Apke at safety, and obviously getting Montae Nicholson back full-time, and [D.J.] Swearinger with another year under his belt, and having veterans like Preston Smith and Ryan Kerrigan on the edges. There's a lot to be excited about, without a doubt, but now it's about them playing together, staying healthy and learning."
On QB Alex Smith giving his receivers opportunities to make plays:
"That's just him trying to get to know his receivers, you know? At the end of the day, we don't know if these guys can come down with the ball unless we give them some opportunities. And it's the same with the defensive backs. I want them… sometimes I'll tell them to take a shot whether they want to or not because I have got to see the defensive backs play the ball in the air and I want to see the receivers play the ball in the air. We've had our share of plays down the field. Josh [Doctson] had a great catch today. [Brian] Quick had a couple. Robert Davis had a nice catch today. And then defensively, we had some great pass breakups. That's what I'm looking for. I know we're not supposed to be in this one-on-one combat. We have got to taper off a little bit, but we still can play football and we're giving these guys the opportunity to make plays."
On LB Zach Brown:
"He wasn't here today."
On if Brown's absence was related to his moving:
"I guess so. I don't ask when they're not… it's not mandatory. I'm just worried about the guys that are here and we've got a pretty good group of guys that are here. There's only a couple that aren't here, and the guys that are here have bought in and are working extremely hard to get better."
On WR Josh Doctson saying he notices a difference after entering the offseason fully healthy and if Gruden has noticed that difference in Doctson:
"Oh, yeah. You know, the more experience you get… The first year was a wash for him. Last year was really his first year here. And then this year is just a matter of reps and getting to know Alex and just being precise in what he does and without hesitation. You can see that confidence in the routes that he's running. And every day we're going to get different looks. We're going to get cloud tech, we're going to get bump-and-run, we're going to get outside leverage, inside leverage, boxes and all that good stuff. But for him to just continue to see different coverages, different looks, different techniques with the routes that we have called, he'll be a much better player."
On if he's noticed a change in Doctson's confidence:
"Doctson's always been a confident player. He's not a very vocal guy. He's very confident guy in what he does. It's just a matter of getting that rapport with Alex. So I'm not worried about his confidence. We just continue to teach him and coach him and continue and get better and better, see the looks like I said, but he's an ultra-talented kid, without a doubt. His ball skills are top-notch and we've just got to find ways to get him the ball in those situations."
On how much this offseason has helped S Montae Nicholson:
"Critical for a guy of his age and his lack of experience. You know, last year was a great test for him. We just got to sprinkle it in and saw him play and what we have thoughts for his athletic ability, and now it's a matter of him learning the system and communicating. The comfort level you see from guys year one to year two, especially the safety position because so many things change – trying to disguise and coming down, playing a hole, playing post, playing box, whatever it is – there's so many different nuances to your technique that you have to learn, and the more he gets comfortable, his athleticism is as good as there is a safety in the NFL. So mentally, once he gets it down, we have great faith that he's going to be an excellent player for us for years to come."
Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky
On what he's seen from the rookies so far:
"Just overall, I think they have been doing a great job. I mean, we have been throwing a lot of stuff at them from week-to-week that they have been here, and they have really progressed across the board. [Daron] Payne is doing a great job. He's trying to get acclimated to some of the calls, hasn't had a lot of mental errors. He's done a great job. Physical player. Impressed with Shaun Dion [Hamilton]. He's learning the calls, he's getting in there. We are kind of protecting him a little bit with the injury he had in college but he's looking good. So we are happy with what we see."
On how DL Jonathan Allen is looking in his return from injury:
"Oh, very good. I think he did a great job of rehabbing in the offseason. We were kind of a little bit hesitant early on when he was here just taking reps and stuff, but looks like he's just keeps on progressing from where he kind of left off last year and the sky's the limit for him."
On S Montae Nicholson:
"For the most part, you can see his speed, you can see his reaction to the balls and just playing great overall coverage. From a communication [standpoint], that second year, those guys usually start to, 'OK, I understand what I'm doing,' then all of the sudden they have got to understand what exactly the offense is trying to do against him. He's been doing a great job. Across the board, I think the communication has been great. I think I'm the proudest of those guys putting in the time in the meeting rooms and going out there and actually successfully making us better as a football team."
On his expectations for the run defense:
"We're in the process. You know, just over time, last year was the first year coming together as a group with the calls and stuff like that, and I think this year, with everybody kind of having their mesh together, I think that's what we're trying to do out there right now. It looks good now, but hopefully in the future it'll pay off its dividends."
On if he envisions CB Orlando Scandrick playing inside or outside:
"I mean, he's doing both right now. He's playing outside as a corner, and he's playing as a nickel back inside. He kind of did that in Dallas over the years that he was there. Smart football player, understands quarters, threes, all that kind of stuff, so from my standpoint, [he is] a veteran guy that can come in and have success."
On his time with QB Alex Smith in San Francisco and how he looks now:
"Just [having] been around a lot of quarterbacks in my league as a player and as a coach, I can tell you one thing, when I was with Rich Gannon actually when I was in Kansas City, it was unbelievable the amount of time and effort that he spent in the offseason, and Alex kind of reminds of Rich in that standpoint – spending a lot of time in the office, trying to get the offense down, just an excellent human being that will perform at a high fashion. He beat us when we were out there in Kansas City last year, and he was the main cause of it. I'm excited to have him here."
On the leaps taken by Allen and Nicholson:
"Well, I think for Jonathan, that's a big one for him. It's usually that second year, even with Nicholson on the back-end, that second year, most guys come in and they are just trying to figure out what they are trying to do from, 'OK, this is what I'm supposed to do,' and then the second year, they try to figure out, 'OK, I understand all the stuff that's going around me,' and trying to learn exactly how the offense is trying to attack him. I think those two players are going to have a successful year."
On the chemistry between Allen and DL Daron Payne and the play of the defensive line:
"I see that with all the players that we have. I think playing a year with somebody, and then all of the sudden Jonathan getting hurt, even Matt Ioannidis and Ziggy [Hood] are having good practices. So it's just good upfront to have those guys understand how Jimmy [Defensive Line Coach Jim Tomsula] is teaching it and how we're trying to relate it to them in that fashion up in the classroom. They are actually doing it out on the field, which is a great thing."
On getting a chance to look at other inside linebackers in LB Zach Brown's absence:
"I think it's always important and it's always a thing for those backup players with [Josh] Harvey-Clemons getting those reps for him. I want Zach to be here. He's not, but from my standpoint, with those players that are here that are working, those young bucks, I'm excited for them to make an advance as well."
On the growth in CB Fabian Moreau and LB Ryan Anderson in their second years:
"I think both of them, I think Anderson from his steps out of his stance – his first and second steps – have grown dramatically over the time that he's had. And then with Fabian, just doing a great job of just understanding and recognizing splits, understanding when he can take his chances and he has. And he's done a great job. Both of those guys have."
On Nicholson's versatility:
"We're trying to move him around sometimes. It's just great to see him back to the form that he was when he left last year. So I'm excited for him. I'm excited for all the guys. I compliment every one of them because the stuff that we're throwing at them right now is a lot and they are really comprehending it and getting it down, so I'm excited."

Re: Skins Quotes 5/30/18: Gruden, Manusky
In years past, a player of Brown's stature missing OTA's would practically be a scandal. I realize OTA's are optional, I'm just sayin what the normal fan and media reaction has been. It's nice to see this not being overblown anymore.

The talk is based on the reports written about the rural areas of Hong Kong in the 1910-30 and 1950-60 periods by District Officers responsible for the Southern Administrative District.
The District Officers, all "Cadet Officers" (now called "Administrative Officers") were members of the small group that constituted the core of the governing system in the then British Colony, regularly moving between different jobs so as to gain experience and to be able to see the big picture when making decisions.
It is assumed that the primary interest of the audience will be the description of the villages and life in them. At the same time, the material gives a fascinating insight into how colonial civil servants viewed their jobs and discharged their responsibilities in the first half of the twentieth century.
Southern District was somewhat of a misnomer, comprising most of the islands of Hong Kong plus Tseung Kwan O, the Clearwater Bay Peninsula and the southern part of the Sai Kung Peninsula. In the period covered by the reports, there were few roads in Southern District. Access was thus either by boat or on foot.
Eric Hamilton who besides his career in the Hong Kong Civil Service between 1911-1945, wrote to the newspapers on cricket and anything whimsical which took his fancy, under the pseudonym of "R. Abbit". Walter Schofield (1888-1968) obtained an MA degree from Liverpool and Oxford Universities. Throughout his career, he pursued what was no doubt his first love, the geology and archeology of Hong Kong. SH Peplow, Land Bailiff Southern District's contribution is extracts from his book "Hong Kong, About and Around". Paul Tsui came from a humble background but acquired a degree from the University of Hong Kong before the second World War. During the war he served with the British Army Aid Group around Huizhou in Guangdong Province. After the war he was the first Chinese to be appointed as a Cadet Office in the British Colonial Administration. Austin Coates spent eight years in the Hong Kong Administrative Service. His books on South East Asia are well known and popular. In his 32-year career with the Hong Kong Government, half of it spent at one time or another in the New Territories District Administration, James Hayes consistently demonstrated a passion for the rural areas of Hong Kong, the culture of its Chinese inhabitants, and the recent history of the Colony.
The Speaker
John Strickland has lived in Hong Kong for most of the past 50 years. Whilst his home has always been on Hong Kong Island, he has throughout maintained weekend escape houses in remote villages as bases to explore country parks. He is Chairman of the Trustees of The Sir Lindsay and Lady Ride Memorial Fund which subsidises the publication of books in the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Studies Series. He assembled and extensively edited the material that comprises Southern District Officer Reports to make it a coherent whole.
Programme Speaker: Mr. John Strickland, GBS JP

Windows 7 Action Center is a special window located under the Control Panel, where the system gives the user a lot of useful information regarding security, problems, troubleshootings, maintenance etc. When a message gets a "Normal Priority" status, it is queued in the Action Center itself. But when a message gets a " Important Priority" status it is sent to the Notification Area, on the desktop taskbar, so that the user will be able to see it right away, independently from what he is doing.

This first trick lets you turn-off and remove the Alert center System Icon.
- Click Start.
- Click Control Panel.
- Click on the All Control Panel Items link.
