Meet the Blackjack Lane Family
Krissan Barber – Head trainer and owner
Krissan has 17+ years of experience in hunters, jumpers, dressage and especially equitation. She started riding as a young girl and advanced quickly to showing on the "A" and "AA" circuits throughout the southeast with nationally known and loved trainers Nancy and Barry Lane of Full Cry Farm. After competing successfully in the equitation divisions as a junior, she made the University of Georgia's Varsity Equestrian Team where she was on scholarship for four years. While on the team, she trained under Jennifer Newman, Logan Fiorentino and Meghan Boenig where the team won three National Championships and three Southeastern Conference Championships. She also received the Coach's Award for the 2008-2009 season.
Having gained so much from the equestrian sport and having such wonderful mentors, Krissan began her dream in 2009 of becoming a trainer, coach and mentor. She started her own training program out of Triple S Farm in Danielsville, Ga where clients consistently took top honors in their divisions and at end of the year banquets. Life then moved her to Indianapolis where her training business took root for a short time. When her husband, Adam Barber, got promoted, they picked up and moved across the country to the San Francisco Bay Area. She began working for a top show barn, McIntosh Stables, as an assistant trainer and barn manager. She worked for a year under New Zealand team Toni (an international Grand Prix rider) and husband Colin McIntosh (a member of the New Zealand Olympic team) where she gained invaluable knowledge and experience.
Today, Adam's job has brought them to a more permanent place here in the Houston Area where Blackjack Lane Equestrian was born! Blackjack Lane is a family environment where they aim to have a great time, while still challenging the students and their equine teammates. Patience, verbal instruction, demonstration and positive reinforcement are the keys to Krissan's success with her students. She strives build a wonderful relationship with each one of her clients both in and out of the arena. In just a few years, Krissan has built Blackjack Lane into a USHJA Recognized Riding Academy and is the 2017-2018 Zone 7, Region 5 Interscholastic Equestrian Association President. Come check her and Blackjack Lane Equestrian out!
Adam Barber – Head horse husband and owner
Adam is an invaluable member of the team and is the glue that holds everything together! He is everyone's barn dad and can always be seen working hard around the barn and at shows.
Carissa Larson – Assistant Trainer
Carissa grew up in South Florida where she was exposed so most of the world's top riders in competition. Though she had been bitten by the horse bug before she could talk, this exposure had fueled the desire to ride with the Greats in the industry.
By age 15 Carissa had been given the reins to a small, family friendly, Huntseat Equitation facility as barn manager. Her education was allowed to blossom through her working student internship, where she became well versed behind the barn doors in horse health management as well as the ins and outs of property maintenance. Even though she didn't have the funds to truly compete on the 'A' circuit, her trainers were kind enough to supply horses for her to ride and train. It was long before people started to notice that she had a knack for communicating to her mounts the goals she had set as well as accomplishing each of them in a timely fashion set forward, and her skills were commissioned. Unfortunately, coming into her 18th birthday, her trainer had decided to sell the facility she had spent five amazing years learning and growing. The new owner had ultimately decided to cut the internship program.
Catch riding here and there, she was able to compete on the 'A' Circuit for a short time, as well as work indirectly for the current US Olympic Dressage Coach, Robert Dover. This made her understand the gruelingly perfect turnout that was expected of every horse, not just the top horses in the world. However, she continued to feel as though she was missing. Like a hole in her education. Carissa decided it was time to back her skills up with paperwork and attended Meredith Manor, an accredited Equine Technical school. She graduated with certificates in Teaching, Training, Master in Riding and Equine Massage therapy.
Shortly after graduating Carissa took a barn manager internship with, at the time, the US Olympic Dressage Coach, Anne Gribbons. Working with that caliber of Equine Athletes and Riders was privilege that she never took for granted. Riding top level Dressage horses and feeling the power and knowledge they possessed is one of the biggest reasons why Carissa believes so firmly in flatwork for her hunter/jumper prospects.
Down the road, she established strict guidelines for her students to follow in order for them to become the best possible riders they could at every stage at a facility she operated. Her heart and soul were poured into each and every student and horse for several years. She built a successful program by herself with far more students then she could have dreamed. It was with an extremely heavy heart that it had to be given up, due to the farm owners' retirement and fire sale of the horses and ponies she put so much time and effort into. Thankfully, she was able to place her students into knowledgeable hands. To this day, her riders can be picked out of a crowd by their strong and steady leg.
She brings with her to Blackjack Lane Equestrian and its riders years of experience in Equitation, Hunter/Jumper and Dressage. Carissa plans to mold her fascination with fitness by earning her Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science to encourage and teach equestrians that they too are athletes. She does not stop there. She also plans on her young Oldenburg to be registered as a Premium Oldenburg Stallion, siring some of the most elite and rare bloodlines being sought after even by some of the choosiest Europeans before making his way into the Hunter Derby world. She will be establishing herself back into the show ring with her Schoolmaster Holsteiner after his arrival in Texas.
Fun horsemanship is serious and serious horsemanship is fun.

if nothing else it sounds pretty cool but let's dig a bit more.
"Vernon S. "Pete" Hidy coined the term flymph. What is a flymph? A flymph is a hatching insect be it mayfly, caddisfly, midge, or stonefly that according to Pete Hidy is in the stage of metamorphosis "changing from wingless nymphs to flies with wings". These flies are historically fished with a across and downstream technique that allows the current to naturally swing and raise the fly up to the surface in front of a rising or holding fish in a manner that activates the soft hackle collar and body materials effectively imitating life in the ascending artificial fly. The attraction of these flies is that not only do they look natural but they behave natural as well. They have movement; they have the appearance of life."
now, the last part to me is probably the key element when considering constructing these flies: "the appearance of life' (even though the real bugs could be stillborns or spents, their leg/body/wing parts would still move throughout the drift downstream)
"Traditionally flymphs are tied with natural body materials that will undulate in the currents. These body materials include hare's mask, peacock, muskrat, mole, squirrel, and other natural fur with guard hairs. Shaggy body materials like rabbit, hare, and squirrel hold water well, sink quickly and also capture small air bubbles when they penetrate the surface film. These air bubbles create shimmer and sheen and look particularly similar to caddis pupa which uses internal gases to propel them to the surface or egg-laying caddis that dive underwater to lay eggs and carry with them oxygen bubbles for respiration. The hackle collars of flymphs are chosen with color and movement in mind to match the emerging wings, antennae, and legs of the ascending nymph. Soft, webby feathers such as hen, partridge, grouse, starling, woodcock, or quail are choice. These feathers absorb water and each has it own unique action underwater."

Even with oil prices down, most of the clients we visited at OTC had positive remarks about the show traffic and opportunities. It's always good to see the heavy fabrication, subsea, and offshore work we do on display at our OEM's booth. Here's a great review of the show:
Looking forward to meeting our customers at the Offshore Technology Conference next week. Excited to see the latest developments in subsea and offshore fabrication. We're thinking GOM and Mexico will be a hot topic.
We're winning more and more offshore fabrication for our Mid South Fabrication principal. Right now we have a project in-house for umbilical reel frames to be mounted on drill ships.
Of course weld procedures used on anything fabricated for offshore applications have to be certified by the DNV. Mid South Fabrication is no stranger to developing welding procedures to our client's welding specifications. We're a code weld shop for heavy structural welding to AWSD1.1 standards, including ASME and National Code Welding – R, S, U, NB. From pressure vessel and high pressure pipe welding witnessed and certified by Hartford Steam Boiler to the DNV – we work with all classification societies in developing our weld procedures.
For these umbilical reel frames, our EPC client needed us to perform to their own inhouse weld procedure, and witnessed by the DNV.
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) recently merged with the classification society Germanischer Lloyd to form DNV GL. In order to certify to our client's weld procedure, first we will send the welding and testing specifications to a DNV welding engineer. Once approved, a DNV surveyor will do a site visit to witness the welding of two test coupons, using the exact brand of welding wire, amperage, and speed – as dictated in the client's weld procedure. Then one of the test coupons will be sent sent to a lab for a secondary DNV surveyor witness on destructive and nondestructive examination and analysis.

Concern about sexual activity is declining as a reason parents do not get their daughters the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, according to a research study presented at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology's 2017 Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer.
Instead, according to a study presented by lead researcher Anna Beavis, MD, MPH, an SGO member and gynecologic oncologist fellow at Johns Hopkins University, parents continue to not see the vaccine as a necessity and are concerned about side effects and safety. The HPV vaccine, introduced in 2006, is used to prevent adolescents from contracting the HPV virus, which causes almost all cases of cervical cancer in women, as well as several other cancers.
"With the new nine-valent vaccine, almost 90 percent of all cervical cancer could be prevented if all adolescents were vaccinated," Beavis said. "Yet unfortunately, vaccination rates in the U.S have lagged considerably behind those of other Westernized nations."
The data presented compared the National Immunization Survey, or NIS-Teen, data, from 2010-2014, which reported on U.S. parents' responses to a question about why they did not vaccinate their daughters against HPV and did not intend to in the next 12 months.
From 2010-2014, the top two reasons were the concerns regarding safety and side effects and the belief the vaccine is not necessary. Yet, the third most common reason, adolescents' lack of sexual activity, dropped as a reason for parents not vaccinating. According to the data, in 2010, 18 percent of parents reported adolescents lack of sexual activity a reason, but in 2014 it dropped to 9 percent.
Prior literature has shown that physicians often delay or do not discuss HPV vaccination with parents because they feel they would also have to address sexual activity, Beavis said. Yet, the data shows that parents need to understand the necessity and safety as well as the benefits of cancer prevention.
Additionally, the vaccine produces a stronger immune response in younger children, and thus only two shots instead of three are recommended if the vaccine is given to children under the age of 15.
"Physicians should not be afraid to discuss the HPV vaccine with parents," Beavis said. "Our focus should be on cancer prevention."

What is stop and search?
The police have a right and a duty to stop and talk to members of the public and in certain circumstances to search them. This is done in order to help keep the public safe, and is used to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour, and to prevent terrorism.
Under most circumstances police need grounds to search you, but some stop and search powers allow you to be searched without grounds, for example, if you are in an area where there is a risk of serious violence or disorder.
Stop and search normally takes place in public places such as the area around football stadiums when there's a match playing or in neighbourhoods experiencing problems with crime or vandalism.
This doesn't mean they just happen in these places. Stop and searches can take place anywhere at any time.
Your rights
If you do something that results in police involvement (for example, if you're arrested for a suspected crime) or if you're stopped and searched in the street, you need to understand it is your right that the police treat you fairly and with respect at all times.
The police must follow the rules set out in the Police and Criminal Evidence (PACE) codes, which outline how we have to treat you, and what rights you have. For example, if you have been arrested you have the right to speak with a solicitor and to let a family member or friend know that you've been arrested.
You won't be stopped and searched just because of your:
- Age
- Race
- Ethnic background
- Nationality
- Religion
- Because you have committed a crime in the past.
British Transport Police created a useful video, below, which shows why and how police officers sometimes need to 'Stop and Search'.
The police can stop and search you for other reasons including:
- As part of the anti-terrorism efforts
- If there has been serious violence or disorder in the area
- If the police are looking for a suspect who fits your description
- If the police have reasonable grounds to suspect your carrying drugs, a weapon or stolen property.
Police must conform with clear rules when using stop and search:
- The Police must use the search powers fairly, responsibly and with respect for people without discriminating
- The Police must make sure that the search time is kept to a minimum
- The Police do not have the power to stop you, in order to find a reason for a search
It is important to know that being stopped does not mean that you are under arrest or that you have necessarily done something wrong.
- If you are stopped, you are required to stay for the duration of the search. If necessary you will be prevented from walking away
- The search must take place near to where you were stopped, except on occasions where moving you would protect your privacy
- If you are in a public place, you only have to take off your coat or jacket and any gloves that you are wearing, unless you have been stopped in relation to terrorism or where Cheshire Police believe you are using clothes to hide your identity
- If it is necessary to take off more than this or any items that you wear for religious reasons (such as a face scarf, veil or turban) you will be taken somewhere out of public view for your own privacy. This does not mean that you are being arrested. In cases such as this, the police officer who searches you will be the same sex as you.
- You will be given a form to take away that outlines the reason you were searched.
The College of Policing Professional Committee has recently approved an amendment to the definition of a 'fair and effective' search. The wording now reads as follows:
A stop and search is most likely to be fair and effective when:
- The search is justified, lawful and stands up to public scrutiny
- The officer has genuine and objectively reasonable suspicion that s/he will find a prohibited article or item for use in crime
- The person understands why they have been searched and feels that they have been treated with respect
- The search was necessary and was the most proportionate method the police officer could use to establish whether the person has such an item.

Nant y Gerwyn, Wales
At Albion we make products for road cycling in all sorts of weather. We don't shy away from grey skies. In fact, nearly all of our best stories about rides start and finish with the weather. This is Britain, after all.
We understand that tough riding in changeable conditions places specific demands on both riders and kit, and our approach to making things always starts by asking, how will this product improve the riding experience? The result, we believe, is functional gear with practical features, designed to work on the bike and to protect riders out on the road.
We work with factories in Great Britain and Italy. That's not to say we're against manufacturing elsewhere, but we like where we make our gear and believe in long-term relationships. Great Britain has a rich tradition of textile manufacturing which we admire and want to support. Italy is the heartland of technical cycling garment manufacture, and we proudly work with a family business with forty years' experience developing technical clothing for professional teams in both road cycling and downhill skiing.
Thanks for visiting us. If you'd like to know more we would love to hear from you – email@example.com

Sadness, Seashells and Swimming
I can't believe it's June already. I started writing blog posts last year and I told myself I would keep up with them and write regularly. That was wishful thinking. The past 6 months have flown by and this is my first post of the year. Shame on you Louise.
I have been up and down this year. I went through a period of sadness where I doubted myself and my ability. I questioned what I was doing and I was fearful of the future. I cried at nothing and I curled up on my bed in the afternoons and slept. I felt paralyzed. This 'sadness,' as I call it, I have endured once before, shortly after my dad passed away. That was 12 years ago. I remembered I helped myself out of the darkness by reading self-help books. I bought a heap of them at the time. I devoured them one after another. 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff', 'Feel the Fear and do it Anyway' and 'Embracing Uncertainty' were just a few of them. So I got them back out and I started to read again and I was reminded of the importance of living in the moment and how important it is to take no notice of my thoughts. They are just thoughts. They aren't my reality. My emotions were a reaction to my thoughts. I am feeling much stronger now. No doubt, a cruise to New Caledonia helped me get back on track.
In April we spent 9 days aboard a P&O cruise ship and we visited beautiful, unspoiled places where the water is crystal clear and the weather is balmy. We swam with turtles, we ate delicious food, we slept in the afternoon and then we ate some more. It was a wonderful, relaxing and nourishing holiday and I needed to escape for a little while.
I have been busy working on a coastal collection since I have been back. I've been painting sea shells and pelicans and seals. I made a logo for myself and I built this website. I am thinking positive thoughts and I remind myself daily to stay fully conscious and be grateful and enjoy my life.

More than ever owning a home on the Sunshine Coast is becoming affordable. A few years ago it was unheard of to see detached homes selling on the Sunshine Coast below $300,000. One of my colleagues was shocked to see home many detached homes are for sale below $300,000 combine that with record low interest rates equals affordable. Now you need to stop dreaming of owning a home and create a plan of action.
Lack the resources for a down payment and closing costs. Here are tips for securing that down payment.
1) Borrow from your retirement account: The Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) is a program that allows you to withdraw funds from your registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to buy or build a qualifying home for yourself. You can withdraw up to $25,000 in a calendar year and you can repay it over 15 years. Repayment will not start till the 2 nd year.
2) Ask family: Sure, you may be too proud to ask for money, but if relatives can help you and your family move into that dream home, isn't it worth it? If you do get help from a family member, the lender will ask you to sign a gift-letter form, attesting to the relationship. The lender may also require your relatives to explain where they got the money and prove that they are financially able to make such a gift.
3) Property Transfer Tax Credit Introduced in 1994, the First Time Home Buyers' Program is designed to help British Columbians purchase their first home. Under the program, eligible purchasers can claim an exemption from Property Transfer Tax if the fair market value of the home is less than the threshold amount.
4) Add it to the wedding registry: Several mortgage companies allow those getting married to set up a down payment registry. This is a great way to celebrate the joining of two people in matrimony.
5) Cut back and save: If none of the other ways will work for you, there's always the old fashioned "saving for a rainy day." Try putting aside 10% of each paycheck and make your meals instead of going out for them. If you're married, save the money you would spend on birthday, anniversary, poker games and cut back on Christmas presents and put it toward your house. You also may need to forget that vacation this year. These sacrifices may seem significant but they will be worth it once you're inside your own home. Your home on the Sunshine Coast is the best investment you will make.
6) Come to a lease/purchase agreement: Homeowners who can't sell their homes in this market may consider a lease/purchase agreement, where you rent the home you want to buy and a percentage of your rent is applied toward the down payment. If you go this route, make sure you get a contract outlining all the details so both parties are protected.
For more help contact your Realtor or a Mortgage broker and remember home prices will not stay at these levels for ever. If you wait for the bottom, you will be buying on the way up.

My Definition Of Educational Expertise
Well being expertise evaluation (HTA) refers to the the systematic analysis of properties, effects, and/or impacts of well being expertise. Suggestions for approaches to assessments additionally keep in mind the three dimensions within the definition of technological literacy. In fact, Ellul contended, know-how ought to be seen as a unified entity, an amazing pressure that has already escaped our control. He places technology in a unfavorable light, and it does have certain unfortunate elements.
Tutorial Technology is the theory and follow of design, development, utilization, management, and analysis of processes and sources for learning… The phrases Instructional Expertise in the definition mean a self-discipline dedicated to methods or methods to make studying extra efficient based mostly on concept but principle in its broadest sense, not just scientific principle… Principle consists of ideas, constructs, rules, and propositions that function the physique of data.
Know-how is mandating their business, giving them info that they only assume to be correct, and therefore expertise is controlling their life which is the definition of Technopoly. The notion of know-how is linked to the body of knowledge that permit manufacture objects and modify the atmosphere, what is finished with the intention of satisfying any need.
Happening with the green know-how definition, the environment needs instant recoup from air pollution. The rebuilding effort will undoubtedly be technology intensive, as main elements of the city's infrastructure should be redesigned to include the painful classes of Katrina. Use of technology is principled: Know-how means the systematic software of scientific data to sensible tasks. Expertise is new knowledge whose social and political implications cannot be ignored, and that they're real; and by limiting it to slender financial concerns, stifles current improvement and arrests future possibilities. By adopting inexperienced know-how wisely, the earth may be protected towards environmental air pollution.
Educational Technology is the research and moral apply of facilitating learning and enhancing performances by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. The spread of paper and printing to the West, as in this printing press , helped scientists and politicians talk their ideas simply, leading to the Age of Enlightenment ; an instance of technology as cultural pressure. Regardless of this variety in the sort and nature of science and technology parks, these tasks are usually on relatively discrete sites; however, their actions can have a significant regional impression. First, know-how is the rational process of creating means to order and transform matter, power, and data to understand sure valued ends.

It was about a band of dudes being forced to play dodgeball to win tournament money and pay off their debts and save their gym. Now, it came to a point in the movie where they reached the finals but were disqualified because their players were late, and then... and then they learned that having a 51% judge vote could overturn the ruling. Since there were 3 judges, it meant 2 out of 3.
Scene shows first dude giving a thumbs up. Second judge gives a thumbs down. And the best scene in the movie, third judge shows Chuck "freakin" Norris giving the thumbs up. It was the coolest thing ever and it made me shout "OH YEAH" during the flight. More Chuck Norris goodness here.

If Obamacare becomes law, the IRS will be put in charge of compliance. Their job will be to make sure everyone who is supposed to buy health insurance has done so, and make sure that policy meets federal guidelines. If you qualify for a subsidy, the IRS will be responsible for doling out those funds.
Gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling doesn't it?
"It's hard to see how the IRS could take on the huge responsibility it would be given under pending health care legislation without some real glitches, or worse," said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee.
According to USA Today, by their own estimates, the IRS fails to collect $290 billion every year.
That's some serious coin . . . except in Washington of course.
Now comes NBC reporting as part of their Fleecing of America report that Medicare fraud alone is another $60 billion hole.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Will someone tell me why we should trust these folks with health care when they can't even run programs already entrusted to them?

The fat pad in your knee sits just below your knee cap and provides cushioning and shock absorption between the bones of your knee joint. It is also known as Hoffa's pad and is one of the most sensitive components of your knee joint. Pain is most often caused by the fat pad becoming pinched between the end of your thigh bone and your kneecap.
Symptoms of Fat Pad Impingement
A direct blow to your kneecap is usually the cause of impingement, which leads to the fat pad becoming trapped and inflamed. This condition is often referred to as Hoffa's syndrome and, if you have it, you are likely to notice some swelling and/or tenderness around the bottom of your knee and find it painful to straighten your leg. You might also hear a cracking sound when straightening your knee, which is the fat pad popping out of the joint. A health professional will usually diagnose the condition by pressing firmly on the tendons under your kneecap and asking you to straighten your leg. If you find this painful -- or even resist performing the action altogether -- it's a good sign you are suffering from Hoffa's syndrome.
Unfortunately, this condition can take a while to treat because the fat pad is aggravated every time you move your knee. The first step is to rest and apply ice to the area to reduce inflammation. Exercises to strength the muscles that support your knee can also help. Taping your knee cap is another effective treatment method. This gives the fat pad more room to move underneath, so that it is no longer trapped in the joint. Failure to treat the condition can lead to osteoarthritis, so see a health professional if you think you may have this condition.
Knee Strengthening Exercises
Your quadriceps and hamstrings are the main muscles that support your knee joint, so they are likely to be the focus of any strengthening exercises you are prescribed. It is important that you perform all knee exercises slowly and, while minor discomfort is normal, you should stop immediately if you feel any pain.
Hamstring Curl
Stand side-on to a wall with one hand against it for support. Make sure your feet are together and you are standing up straight then slowly bend your injured leg back, moving your heel towards your buttocks. Hold for a few seconds at the top then gently lower the foot back down to the ground. Use your hamstrings to perform both the lifting and lowering movements with control.
Quadriceps Contractions
Sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you and place a rolled-up towel under your injured knee, which should be slightly bent. Engage your vastus medialus muscle -- located above your knee cap on the inner side -- to straighten your leg and lift your heel a few inches off the ground. Lower your heel back down to the ground and repeat.

The great Ringwood reinvention
There's one thing that's selling quicker than haute couture at a fashion show. And that's the Ringwood apartments for sale associated with the 233 East development.
Is it any wonder?
We stand on the shores of the creation of a new side of Melbourne that is bound to attract interest from across the city and across the world.
Find out what the great Ringwood reinvention means. And why you should investigate the current roster of Ringwood apartments for sale at cornerstone development, 233 East
Ringwood is primed to be the next big thing
There is ample space to build a vision where commercial meets culture and liveability meets lifestyle. Ringwood is well positioned to grow into a much loved and sought after destination.
Ringwood property values are growing annually by an enormous 7%. That's twice that of the Melbourne suburban average. The transport infrastructure has had a $66million dollar injection in funding.
Eastland Shopping Centre is bound to attract thousands of shoppers after a $665million upgrade. Even Costco wants a slice of the Ringwood action with a $60million store investment.
Abundant bicycle lanes, train lines and a new terminus make for easy public transport trips. And the high speed highway direct to the city makes Ringwood as accessible as it is appealing.
It's city chic without the downsides
With wine country circling the outskirts of Ringwood and great green expanses within, the potential is endless. Beach trips can be done in the day and the CBD is never far away for theatre and shows.
Here you have an area that is bringing sophisticated apartments for sale in Ringwood together with culture, retail and eateries.
Ringwood is peaceful, green and has a wonderful 'get away from it all' vibe. It screams 'work life balance' in the most relaxing way possible. Melbournians are grabbing the opportunity to make scenery, natural beauty and that all important 'home away from home' feel a part of their working lives.
With an easy commute to work, you can enjoy short trips to the beach, acres of reserves and wine country every single weekend.
Your weekend getaway is now your Ringwood home, yet without the packing, the travel or the added expense.
Reimaging apartment living in a reinvented Ringwood
The Ringwood apartments for sale in the area are already proving their worth. And 233 East promises to usher in a new era of this popularity.
East 233 is the apartment complex closest to the centre of Ringwood. With a marriage of the commercial, residential and play time feel of the reinvented Ringwood at its heart, 233 is one of the most exciting real estate projects in decades.
Carrying the timber and the natural themes from building top to toe, each apartment capitalises on the natural beauty of the area. They feature lovely use of wood, expansive windows, an open floor plan and minimalist cabinetry. Uncluttered and spacious and soaking in the surrounds, the East 233 are those rare apartments that make you feel as though home is truly home.
Perfectly placed within the Ringwood school catchment and an easy commute down the highway, East 233 offers a relaxed suburban lifestyle without sacrificing all the modern conveniences of city living.
Whether you're looking to invest in property or want to enjoy a work life balance that is second to none, Ringwood has it all.

anywho my dearly beloved Lazlo..
Essential reading has to be Batman and Robin in Grant Morrison's run. Volume 1-3 is the most Pyg heavy but he latter appears as an aid to the evil Doctor Hurt later on.
Additional information:
Pyg is insane. No really. This is not just throw away 'super villian' insane this is seriously mentally ill insane. The ring master of a group of twisted circus freaks, Pyg is the worst of the lot. With a fine love of ancient Greek mythology and considerable skill with medicine and surgery Pyg could well be a very well educated man, untill Doctor Hurt got to him. Whatever Hurt did poor Lazlo can hardly form a constructed sentence and is left with only a mother figure in the form of nail-ridden wooden torture machine with a mask badly stichted on. Pyg listens to his 'Mommy' who only wants absolute perfection. His mothers ideas of perfection however is converting people into mindless, drug crazed, single-sexed, dolls. This is done by the use of hard drugs and a buzz saw (use your imagination). Rocksteady is used to making our favourite characters a little darker then they usually are, with professor Pyg they actually have to do the opposite.

Sailing the Three Gorges region of China should be on everyone's list to do in their lifetime. I wrote more about my experience on National Geographic here. I'll be posting more photos from the ship, the M.S. Yangzi Explorer by Sanctuary Retreats, here tomorrow!
China plans to build more than 50 new airports in the next five years, and its population — with nearly 500 million Internet users and counting — is becoming more "global" each day. But to grasp what China meant and means today, you have to get out of the big cities and go rural. Nine hundred million of China's 1.4 billion people live in the countryside.
For Western travelers, the Yangzi Explorer is far and away the most comfortable ship to travel on without a sticker-shock price tag. Every room has a balcony, which I took advantage of daily to gaze at the curved swallowtail Chinese roofs and white bloc-style architecture that characterize relocation towns near the dam. I loved the engaging lectures they offered on the cruise (such as "China, The West, & The Mao Years") — and the early morning tai chi lessons, taught by the ship's doctor.
Though I was anxious to see the colossal dam, my most memorable experiences happened on the ship, sailing through the Three Gorges, surrounded by thick, cool air and hearing the river water lap against the boat. Early morning brought us through the dramatic Qutang Gorge, followed by the Wu Gorge (or Witches' Gorge), and finally the longest gorge of Xiling, where the dam is. Your first glimpse of the dam comes at night as the ship sails through five locks.
It was originally thought that the Three Gorges Dam would provide for 12% of China's electricity needs, but due to a voracious appetite for energy, it can supply only 3%. Media accounts in the West have been decidedly negative, typically focusing on families that have been forced to leave their homes. But of course, nothing is black and white, and there is always another side. It was on a shore excursion to Fengdu where I met relocated families who were glad to move (payment from the government helped). I also learned about the intense flooding that has killed millions in the region, which the dam has alleviated.
The final shore excursion takes you to the best place to view the dam (and take photos of it) along with an exhibit about its construction. The hazy weather didn't dampen the excitement of seeing something I had heard about for so long. As with most things both applauded and condemned, the dam is worth seeing in person. But it felt even more significant to see the unspoiled terrain of the Three Gorges.

But what about the lady who locked her bike up outside a Berwick Hills supermarket in plain sight and came out to just the cut lock? What can you do especially if you have a nice bike? Its not just David Cameron with this problem.
Advice is that you use two locks, a shackle and a chain, that thieves would use different methods to break - its unlikely that they would have bolt cutters and a hammer and chisel. Lock it to a proper bike stand if possible so that it cannot be lifted off (Dave Cameron take note!). Have a look at the bikeoff website We are liaising with Cleveland police to see if FoE and Middlesbrough Environment City can help with this problem.
