Worlds Most Environmental Campervan
Here at Rockinvans Campervan Hire Scotland, we're all aboard the Eco-Friendly train, and we vigorously salute the valiant efforts of the Toyota Prius Hybrid in the war against smog. So when the Pruis Camper Conversion was recently unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon, you'd have thought we'd have been all 'ooh's and 'aah's and admiring glances, but instead all it provoked was a collective intake of breath: the sort of kind that comes only from unfortunate taste. Now, we hate to pee on anyone's campervan-ey parade, but this conversion just doesn't tickle our road-tripping taste buds: it's just a bit too much like a good car wearing a bad toupee.
The Toyota Prius masquerading as a white haired Elvis….
The odd detachable shell adds more than 20 inches of length to the prius, 22 inches to the height and is made of reinforced plastic. Now, we're no experts in aerodynamics, but we can only imagine that the sheer size and weight of this less than dainty structure plays all kinds of naughty havoc with the fuel efficiency of the Toyota Prius…which is what it was designed for, after all. It's all just a little confusing.
What we can't deny is the clever use of space (there is quite a lot of it, mind you), and the array of bedding/seating options available. The back seats of the car can be slid down in order to create space for a double bed in the back, while the top section (the bit that looks like a bad wig, remember?) can house a further double bed. Somehow, the folks at Toyota have even managed to squeeze in a retractable coffee table or 'side sofa' to the Prius camper.
Our favourite feature? The back door: that way you can sneak out after a comfortable night sleep, and avoid the gaze of the gathered group pointing and staring at your odd new creation.
The Rockinvans verdict: a clever use of space, but it just aint sexy. Sorry Toyota.

Very Rare Diminutive Stoneware Temperance Jug with Elaborate Applied Figural Decorations and Frog Stopper, probably Boonville, MO, Dated 1886, ovoid jug with tall neck, semi-squared spout, and rounded handle, the surface embellished with incised bark and applied knot holes. Profusely decorated throughout with applied figural designs in the manner of Wallace and Cornwall Kirkpatrick's Anna Pottery of Anna, IL. A molded bust of a man in top hat appears at the shoulder, flanked by two hand-modeled lizards, one with incised stripes, the other with impressed spots. A curvaceous snake, decorated with deeply-gouged markings, slithers towards the human figure from the base. A second snake coils around the handle, attempting to devour the man from above. A heavily-scaled fish decorates the surface of the jug near the base. A turtle appears on the right shoulder area of the jug, beside a dung beetle rolling a ball of dung. Many of the animals represented include decoration with a serrated incising tool, which creates a distinctive striped pattern. Surface covered in a reddish-brown Albany slip glaze. The reverse features a second figure, produced from the same mold as the bust on the front, lying in a grave with applied tombstone, inscribed "DIED 1886" below an incised cross. A miniature molded jug lies beside the figure, indicating his cause of death. A modeled and applied tree with incised branches appears behind the grave. This jug includes a wonderful original stopper with hand-modeled and applied frog, featuring bulging eyes, incised striping, and deeply-carved toes. This outstanding, recently-surfaced example is the smallest jug of its type we have handled. The inclusion of fish and grave motif are highly unusual and the first we have seen on an American temperance jug. Perhaps most striking about this object is its fine attention to detail, despite its small size. The entire piece is fashioned with a high level of delicacy, particularly evident in the well-sculpted frog stopper. Its strong similarity to a jug bearing a presentation inscription, including the abbreviation "B-n-ville", suggests this piece was made in Boonville, Missouri by an as-yet-unidentified artist. A number of other Boonville snake-decorated jugs, which lack a clear connection to the Anna style, are known. Possible sites of origin include the Jeggelin Pottery or the Vollrath family's "Boonville Pottery". Provenance: Recently discovered in Florida. Literature: For a similar example, see Denker, The Kirkpatrick's Pottery, Anna, Illinois, Northeast Archaeological Association, Volume 9, Issue 1, p. 31, fig. 5. Two pieces of tombstone broken and reglued, with chipping visible on interior of tombstone. Turtle missing head. Two small, shallow spout chips. H (excluding stopper) 7 1/8" ; H (including stopper) 8 1/4".

Australia will field an all-Indigenous team for its International Rules Series (IRS) tour of Ireland in October.
With a side expected to boast Hawthorn forwards Lance Franklin and Cyril Rioli and Sydney's dual Brownlow medallist Adam Goodes, Australia will tackle Ireland in two Tests in late October.
AFL's deputy chief executive Gill McLachlan described the league's decision as a significant announcement.
"To the best of our knowledge, the all-stars representing the AFL in this IRS series will be the first all-Indigenous team to represent a sporting code at senior level overseas since that first cricket team toured England in 1868," McLachlan said.
Former Sydney forward Michael O'Loughlin will coach the side, assisted by his former coach at the Swans Rodney Eade, who is currently an assistant at Collingwood.
Eade coached the Australian side in the 2011 series.
Adelaide and Australian IRS great Andrew McLeod and ex-Brisbane defender Chris Johnson will also be on O'Loughlin's coaching panel.
Ireland is current champions following its series win in 2011.
McLachlan says the concept gained momentum following the Indigenous all-stars' match during the 2013 preseason.
"This series has needed reinvigoration," McLachlan said.
"The fact that senior Indigenous players like Adam Goodes, 'Buddy' Franklin, Shaun Burgoyne and others have said 'we want to play representing the Indigenous all-stars' ... was exciting for us.
"That commitment carries a lot of weight."
Asked if there could be a backlash from non-Indigenous players complaining they had been robbed of an opportunity to play for Australia, McLachlan pointed to previous problems getting big names on the park.
"The players have had plenty of chances historically to represent Australia in International Rules Series and haven't been available," he said.
"I don't think there's any disguising the fact that in 2011 there weren't many of our senior players available to play in that series."
O'Loughlin says his side will be loaded with skilful players.
"Ireland are a great team and we know we'll have our work cut out. But certainly [Australia want] a quick play-on and get that ball moving fairly quickly to our dangerous players," he said.

It's been a heartening few weeks for those of us who thought that protest was dead – or, more precisely, that protest was pointless.
My scepticism had reached a stage where whenever I heard the claim that a local council or a government department was 'consulting', I felt obliged to raised an eyebrow and tell myself this was simply another rubber-stamping of a pre-agreed course of action.
However, my cynicism has been turned on its head in recent months.
Firstly the Cameron government (remember that?) swiftly reversed a uniquely odd idea to include granny annexes and similar self-contained parts of homes in the additional properties three per cent stamp duty surcharge.
Once the combined opposition of Eric Pickles, the Daily Telegraph and a few hundred angry emails reached the Treasury, a U-turn was announced.
Secondly, North Somerset council changed its mind over landlord licensing – not, one senses, because the system was considered a blunt instrument when it comes to improving the private rental sector, but instead because of a protest group.
This was the Somerset Property Network which quickly got 50-plus landlords on board thanks to a simple Facebook post. The landlords rose up and the council ran backwards.
Now the same thing has happened with the extension of landlord licensing in, of all places, Wandsworth: yes, unlikely as it seems, a London council that has been legendary for its hard-nosed approach has changed its mind because of the weight of protests.
This week provided another example.
Most people believe the government has now dropped its proposal to privatise the Land Registry. Protests against this came in thick and fast, and not just from the usual suspects: instead, the Competition and Markets Authority, RICS, the Conveyancing Association and the Residential Property Surveyors' Association all weighed in against the idea, as did you (probably) and me (certainly). By the looks of it, the government has just walked away.
So far, so good, and I know those even more cynical than myself can point to protests that have proven unsuccessful. For example, there was opposition (and some) from much of the high-end agency sector against the increases for stamp duty on properties selling in excess of £937,000. Those howls went unheeded.
Far more protests came in response to that series of fiscal measures against landlords (mortgage interest relief reductions, Wear & Tear allowance and the like). That opposition, too, fell on stony ground – particularly stony around the area of George Osborne's in-tray – although perhaps new Chancellor Phillip Hammond may yet prove more conciliatory.
Yet the four examples I gave above – be they expedient U-turns or genuine responses to the results of consultation – give hope that as an industry we should not be afraid to hold our heads above the parapet and complain when something is wrong.
With a new government claiming it wants to listen and not lecture, we may see more U-turns ahead.
Get those letters to MPs and those online petitions ready; form an orderly line to pick up those placards. Protests are once again paying off.

HWB becomes one of first firms in region to obtain probate licence
Leading accountancy firm HWB has become one of the first practices in the region to obtain a licence to undertake probate work.
HWB, which is based in Chandler's Ford and is one of the largest independent firms in the region, has been awarded the licence by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
Estates and private client tax specialist Stacey Steele and Tax Director Tracy Jenkins have both qualified to undertake probate work and are now fully accredited with ICAEW.
Probate is the process of administering a person's estate and possessions after they have died and has traditionally been carried out by solicitors. A change in the law means licensed accountancy practices are now able to carry out non-contentious probate.
Tracy said: "We are delighted to be one of the first accountancy practices in the area to be awarded a licence to undertake probate work.
"The firm has a highly-regarded specialism in estate planning and inheritance tax, so probate is a natural complement to what we do here at HWB.
"This is a significant addition to our services and puts us in a position to handle virtually all estate administration. Losing a loved one is hard enough and this licence will mean we can offer a seamless service to clients without the need for part of the administration process to be dealt with by a solicitor."
Tracy and Stacey will be working with the firm's growing client base across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire.

Awesome video about awesome people who use awesome technology to make the world a better place; this video is a must see for people of all ages and interest groups.
The exoskeleton design featured in the video is one that has been used on adults before. There is nothing novel about the design of the assistive arms. The advantages of using 3D printing technology to manufacture the skeleton is seen in the lightweight, cheap parts. Delaware Hospital can afford to create multiple copies of these robust parts for less money than a comparable system out of metal. For a child who is prone to breaking, or in Emma's case, outgrowing the parts, it is more practical and effective to use plastics.
Nemours work is based on funding from donations, and it is possible to support them by using the following link. This was one of the most touching videos I've ever seen, and serves as an inspiration for me to become an engineer so I can hopefully help people in the future. http://www.nemours.org/waystogive.html

Don't purchase followers to add to your Instagram account until you read this information that can change the way that you buy! Itis safe, easy, and legal to make the purchase, but there are mistakes that could harbor the success that you receive in the process. Make sure you're a part of the thousands of people who've learned how beneficial buying followers on Instagram can be rather than one of the few who's experienced the unfortunate experience otherwise. Five important facts about buying followers on Instagram are below.
- Compare the Options: Tons of companies sell followers but some of them sell fake accounts or price their packages expensive. Avoid these hassles by comparing the options before you buy. It is easy and fasts to compare the options online and through word of mouth sources and eliminates the risk that you will get an untrustworthy company.
- Benefits Galore: There are many great benefits that you can expect when you buy followers to add to your account. First, it attracts more attention to your account so you will get even more followers. Second, it saves you time. Third, their money that you save is amazing. There are many benefits that are for sure!
- Costs are Low: As mentioned, it is the low costs of followers purchases that attract many people to this marketing technique. It is important that you get quotes to compare costs before you buy but rest assured that it is one of the most affordable marketing techniques you can use today. There's plenty of cash left over to devote to other techniques as a bonus.
- You're in Control: Not only can you pick and choose the company to buy followers from, you decide the number that you want to purchase, how often they're purchased, and can even choose to buy a few likes, too. It is nice to be in control of your marketing efforts and this is one easy way to take charge.
- Get Active: When you decide to buy followers, make sure you're already using social media, and that the time to use the site to look at some of the companies, reviews, etc. is taken. Most of the follower's companies have social media pages that you can use for a multitude of purposes to make your purchase just a little bit easier.
Now that you have these important facts, aren't you ready to buy your own followers and make great things happen? Insta is a social media platform that has so much in store for its users and it is time that you take that to the next level, as so many others have done already. You can be one of the next people to make this purchase and get your name out there to a larger audience of people. These folks know that this purchase works well and enjoyed those benefits firsthand. Success can be in your future if you aren't afraid to do what it takes to make that happen.

ChangeCamp was held on January 24 2009 at the MaRS Discovery District on College Street in Toronto, Ontario. It was a first conference of its kind, addressing governance in the age of participation. Probably over 200 concerned citizens, government employees, and Canadian digerati where there, on a blustery Saturday morning.
Some thoughts on the event:
- I have never seen so many people with cameras and laptops of all sorts documenting the event.
- The un-conference organization allowed many voices to be heard and attract interest for everyone's agenda.
- It's great to see so many people concerned about governance in this day and age. I think Obama-fever is coming north here to Canada! And it's a virus we actually want to spread!
- Mark Kuznicki and his gang did a great job organizing the event.
- My turkey Tim Horton's sandwich was missing half a sandwich -- who stole the other half?
- The layout of the break out tables spread through out the lobby and didn't allow for equal distribution as people swarmed around the tables that had many folks, and those tables were near the entrance to the hall. Tables J through P didn't get nearly as much attention unfortunately. Better use of the main hall probably would be better way to organize the event rather than pushing people out into the hallways and eating spaces of MaRS.
- There could be a way to vet the session ideas before the event to allow for a smaller set of sessions with more concentration at each -- maybe a uservoice/Google Moderator approach?

Gethsemane and San Lucas
Borderland Encounter
January 15-18, 2015
San Lucas is celebrating their 27 year history and Gethsemane has been a part of that ministry for about 21 of those years.
This is a special "encounter" or "encuentro" weekend for Gethsemane and San Lucas congregations to work side by side and expand our vision of ministry together.
All are "Called by Grace" to participate: youth, singles, couples, those with and without children, from the very young to the not so young. There is something for all levels of ability. Youth under 18 are asked to have a parent or guardian along for the weekend experience.
"Led by Faith, Welcoming all to Share God's Love." This is a great opportunity to work, worship, eat, and share together with the community of San Lucas.
"God's Work. Our Hands."
This mission trip includes the installation of a 2800 gallon rainwater capture system, construction of raised garden beds for a community garden, a remodel of the current food pantry to a new client-served pantry, a modified Bible School and Spanish worship Sunday morning. We are in need of volunteers to coordinate and prepare meals including the San Lucas/Gethsemane community dinner. Brochures are available in the narthex. Be ready for some special fun this year!
will not be crossing the border as a group!For any questions, speak to:
Pastor Susie or Intern Sharolyn

Outspoken 71-year-old Irish expatriate Francis "Pop" Cavanaugh is the glue holding together his tightly-knit, yet constantly bickering, clan, who mostly all reside in the same house in a middle-class neighborhood in South Boston. That is, except for flashy, oft-divorced daughter Kit, who left the family years ago to chase her dreams of show biz. Stardom eluded Kit -- whose success was limited to the showgirl circuit -- and, after an absence of two decades, she returns home to try to mend ways with her crotchety, widowed father and act as mother figure for her conservative, widowed brother Chuck's four children: Father Chuck, Jr., a twentysomething priest who comes off more like a used car salesman; Mary Margaret, a shy, 16-year-old wallflower who's trying to find her way around the dating scene; and smart-mouthed 10-year-old fraternal twins, Kevin and John. Together, the adults all manage a family owned and run business, the Cavanaugh Bros. Construction Company. Even with critical acclaim and decent ratings following Newhart, CBS failed to put The Cavanaughs on the fall schedule in 1987, partly because of a "controversial" religion-themed episode that brought the network negative publicity from the various religious groups, but mostly because it was the unfortunate show that former CBS programming chief Bud Grant chose to use as the replacement for Designing Women on Monday. When that series got the time slot for the '87-'88 season, that was seemingly the end of The Cavanaughs (or "That Irish piece of crap," as it was probably called in the letters of thousands of irate Designing Women fans, who flooded CBS headquarters after their show was shuffled over to Thursday in December, 1986 and pulled a month later). But the series experienced a bit of a miracle late in 1987 when Grant's corrupt successor ordered another eight episodes for midseason (perhaps because critics across America had questioned why it wasn't renewed). The cast and a lot of the crew were reassembled, and everybody went back to work. Although CBS would go on to pick up five more episodes, luck didn't strike again for the series; though it was originally slated to return in March, 1988, it was a no-show, most of the second season was used as filler that fall for the writer's strike of '88, and another order was not forthcoming. Although it only lasted two half seasons two years apart, The Cavanaughs did have a happy ending in one respect. Music director Bill Moloney (the brother of creator Bob Moloney) and Christine Ebersole met while working on it, and were married during its second season.

Parador de Carmona - Medieval Moorish Fortress (4*)
The Parador
This imposing citadel was begun by the Moors and enlarged by King Pedro (it is known as the Alcázar del Rey Don Pedro). The grand Parador de Carmona dominates the historic town of Carmona, which stands on a ridge overlooking the central plain of Andalusia. The outstanding Parador hotel within the citadel maintains the town's historic legacy, with a Moorish-style tiled inner courtyard with arcades and a fountain, vaulted dining room, decorated ceilings, antique furnishings, and balconies overlooking the town and the river below. The mighty walls of the ancient fortress are best viewed from the hotel's luxurious outdoor swimming pool and the Parador's terrace enjoys panoramic views down over the surrounding plains.
Keytel Tips
Superior Twins have balconies and enjoy wonderful views over Andalusian plains.
Local Area
Carmona – known as Carmo to the Romans – was a Moorish stronghold until it was captured in 1247 by Ferdinand III of Castile, who gave the town its motto: 'As the Morning Star shines in the dawn, so shines Carmona in Andalusia'. The Parador, which is located within this historical Andalucian town, can be found just 30 km from Seville on the road to Córdoba and makes a great base for visiting both cities. A couple of places of interest within Carmona itself that are certainly not to be missed include the Roman Necropolis, located just on the outskirts of the town. Here visitors can explore the many burial chambers and tombs, which have been unearthed and meticulously excavated on this site. The Seville Gate that forms part of the town's surrounding wall and Carmona's city museum are other places worth visiting. If guests are to venture anywhere beyond the walled enclosure then a day spent in Seville is definitely a must, as this colourful and exciting city has plenty to offer. It is a must-see for all those who want to submerge themselves in culture and experience real Andalucía.

Breakfast is served from 8.00 to 11.00 and dinner from 20.30 to 23.00.
It may be possible to arrive up to 22.30 and still enjoy a meal.

Please note the opening and closing dates will depend on the weather and availability of lifeguards.
Visitor Comments
- D. Wakeford
I think that Carmona has become our favourite Parador so far! It was full of character and had stunning views over the plain. Carmona itself is full of history and had a festival at the time that we were there.
- Sandra Jegat
Such a quiet, calm hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Seviile. Seville was magical, Carmona was charming.
- Mrs S. of Sherborne
We moved on front Merida and stayed here for just the one night and loved this Parador. We would like to return here sometime. Extremely comfortable and spectacular views down to the Plain. Moorish influence with a cool inner courtyard and a most attractive dining room. Easy parking by entrance. Lift and all rooms accessible. It should be noted that the swimming pool is down a great many steps!
How to get there
Dominating the town, the Parador de Carmona is 30 km from the city of Sevilla. The main access to monumental walks around the historical centre is the E-05, Autovía de Andalucía, from Sevilla to Cordoba or vice versa.

Region & Cuisine
The second largest of Spain's Autonomous Communities, Andalusia occupies a major part of the southern half of the country. The region's eight provinces extend from the Portuguese border in the west, north to the neighbouring regions of Extremadura and Castilla La Mancha and to Almería, bordering Murcia, in the east.
Inevitably, Andalusia will be best known to many people for its beaches, notably along the Mediterranean 'Costa de Sol' and the Atlantic 'Costa de la Luz', and the coast certainly encompasses a good part of the region's natural wealth. This is no doubt largely due to the exceptional climate – one of the warmest in Europe – that prevails all along the coastline, with hot dry summers, winters with mild temperatures and many 'mini regions' boasting their own microclimates. But it is a mistake to associate Andalusia only with its 'Costas', for this is a region that offers the visitor virtually everything in terms of history, art and nature.
Scenically, Andalusia is a land of contrasts. For example, in the province of Granada in winter one can experience 22°C on the coast and travel just 33 km north into the Sierra Nevada mountains to find a temperature of 10°C below zero. Further east , in the province of AlmerÍa, is an area unique in Europe – the Tabernas desert, where many of the 'Spaghetti Westerns' were filmed. To the north of Granada is the province of Jaén, the land of the olive with over 50 million olive trees planted and olive oil providing the main source of wealth in the province. Further south, some thirty municipalities form the famous 'route of the white towns', a string of picturesque little towns and villages extending across the northern part of the provinces of Cádiz and Málaga and all displaying the same picture- postcard white architecture so typical of rural Andalusia. Over 17% of the region of Andalusia is classified as a protected natural area, with its two national parks of Doñana and Sierra Nevada particularly well known for the preservation of their rich variety of flora and fauna.
Cádiz, Seville, Córdoba, Granada, Málaga – all these historic Andalusian cities display countless examples of the rich architectural and artistic legacy from over eight centuries of Moorish occupation of this region. Pride of place must go to the most emblematic monument in Granada (the capital of Spain's last Moorish kingdom) – the incomparable Alhambra with its adjoining Generalife gardens, a unique complex of palaces, fortresses and royal quarters making this one of the most fascinating, and most visited, monuments in the world.
An essential feature of Andalusian art, and life, is of course the form of music and dance known as flamenco, an artistic expression of the most deeply rooted Andalusian culture. The precise origin of flamenco is unknown, but certainly it has Moorish influences and many of its most famous practitioners, both past and present, have been of gypsy origin. Wherever you are in Andalusia you are likely to hear flamenco, whether at an organised concert, or coming from inside someone's house, or simply an impromptu performance in a village square. It's in everyone's blood, and it's delightful.
Given the immense area of this region, gastronomic diversity best describes the cuisine of Andalusia. The so-called 'Mediterranean diet', with its basis of olive oil and considered by many experts to be the healthiest in the world, has its origin here. One of Spain's most famous products, the Iberian Jabugo ham, is produced in Huelva province with the very finest hams reputedly cured 'in a certain position in a certain room of a certain house in Huelva'. Gazpacho, the cold soup made with tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, bread and garlic originated in Andalusia and is found throughout the region as is 'ajoblanco', a delicious variation on gazpacho. Fruit and vegetables grow in profusion along the coastal region: mountains of strawberries in Huelva province; oranges, lemons, tropical and sub-tropical fruit (mango, papaya, banana, avocado) in Málaga and Granada provinces, and many varieties of vegetable in Almería province. In the mountains further inland, game dishes include partridge, rabbit, venison and wild boar, while anywhere near the sea you will find one of the most popular of all Andalusian dishes – 'pescaito frito' or mixed fried fish.
Not particularly renowned for the excellence of its wines, Andalusia does however produce the finest sherries in the world (the major establishments can be visited in Jerez de la Frontera) and – especially in Málaga province – several delicious dessert wines.
Please be aware of the following:

Mobile service enablement is an extension of SOA for mobile channels. It virtualizes new and existing services and delivers mobile applications. The underlying infrastructure when designed for reuse and extensibility can be easily leveraged for mobile channels. It involves exposing existing business assets as services through a mediation layer such as Oracle Service Bus and building out a mobile front-end using Oracle ADF Mobile. Enterprise Manager and SOA Management Pack can be leveraged to manage the services just the way they would for any other channel, ensuring performance and availability. This approach allows leveraging existing infrastructure for developing on a mobile channel. It helps create new channels using existing SOA infrastructure. REST-enablement of services is done in a matter of minutes as it is built into the service virtualization and mediation layer.

Kessler fallout shelter is a Cold War throwback
The dentist who built Don Sanders' Kessler Park home in 1955 spared no expense when it came to keeping his family safe. He installed an early burglar alarm and had a custom gun rack built into the linen closet. When it came to surviving the bomb, homeowner J.G. Mullhollan went top-of-the-line. He blasted a hole in his rocky backyard and installed a grade-one shelter, the very best. The shelter is still intact, about 12 feet by 6 feet, constructed of solid concrete and insulated using molten lead. "It's designed for three people to survive for seven days," says Sanders, who bought the house in August 2012. Preserved underground since 1961 are three canvas bunks, clothing hooks, two pantry cabinets, a water tank, an aluminum garbage can and a chemical toilet. There are even uncapped glass jugs filled with some kind of chemical, unevaporated after all these years, for the emergency commode. The shelter is equipped with two blast doors and crank-operated air intake and ventilation systems. Sanders says several of his neighbors have fallout shelters too, but none is on par with the dentist's. The Eisenhower administration encouraged the public to prepare for nuclear attacks, and Americans were paranoid after the wholesale death and destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The propaganda reel "Living in a Fallout Shelter," easy to find on YouTube, portrays life in a public fallout shelter versus a home shelter. In a public shelter, you would get a 700-calorie biscuit, maybe some fruit and one quart of drinking water per day, according to the video. Back at the home shelter, the reel's A-bomb victims are partying with canned hams, fruit juice and two quarts of water per day. "This had to be very expensive to build," Sanders says. Sanders, who owns a marketing company, is a longtime collector of atomic-era artifacts. Hanging from his dining-room wall is the restored three-speed Columbia bicycle his parents bought him in '61, when he was 10. By the front door is a mint-condition fiberglass "big boy" from Kip's. On a shelf is the metal lunch box he used as a child, featuring Roy Rogers' horse Trigger. There is the hound-dog stuffed animal his mother received at an Elvis concert and toy tractors, actually Caterpillar farm-equipment samples his salesman dad used as visual aids when calling on farmers. Did Sanders buy the house because of the shelter? Well, it is a really pretty house on an interesting block, he says. But yes, he admits, the fallout shelter's time-warp intrigue drove the sale home. Ironically, his real estate agent, Susan Melnick, refused to climb down into the shelter when she showed him the house. And even though the two have become friends since, Melnick still refuses to go down there. Sanders says most of his neighbors knew about the shelter, and they all wanted to see it after he moved in, an easy ice-breaker for the new guy on the block. "I've taken about 400 people down here," he says.

Sciatica is often used as a blanket diagnosis. There are several causes for Sciatica, some serious, some not.
In Latin, 'Sciatic' means 'back of the leg'. The 'ca' at the end of Sciatica means 'pain associated'. Therefore Sciatica means 'pain down the back of the leg'. Rather than a diagnosis per-say, the word sciatica is simply a description of pain radiating down the leg.
Pain referral can occur for many different reasons, but too often we get focused on it coming from the nerves. In clinical experience, we know that there are many kinds of referred pain and the cause is not always a neural impingement.
Often, Sciatica is blamed on the Sciatic nerve (again named because it runs down the back of the leg). This nerve can sometimes get irritated by a tight Piriformis muscle.
Pain referral for this is normally straight down the middle of the hamstring muscle. For treatment, the average physio or massage therapist will try to massage and release the muscle. This will work to an extent, but only if the reasons that the Piriformis muscle got so tight are addressed at the same time. This is where many treatment plans fall short. They identify the area that is irritated (the nerve), they even look at the 'irritating factor' (a tight muscle), but never actually get to the reason the muscle got tight in the first place….
Q: What if the pain moves around? What if it's more on the side of my leg, or front of my thigh or edge of my knee. Is the Sciatic Nerve still causing it?
A: It is unlikely the sciatic nerve itself is involved if your pain is not down the middle of the hamstring.
While your sciatic nerve might also be irritated, the chance of it actually being responsible are low. So too are the chances it is coming from a disk or a spine issue. Even when it is spinal in nature, soft tissue therapy is still the key in correcting any of the postural issues associated with disc issues (read more about this here).
What is the primary cause of Sciatica we see in a clinical setting?
Most experiences of Sciatica come from strong muscular imbalance, The most common kind of Sciatic pain that presents in a clinical setting is caused by a seriously overactive kinetic chain (groups of muscles), that have become so tight and dysfunctional they aren't able to switch off and relax.
Every time you need these muscles to shorten (as an example, when we are seated, we shorten our hip flexors), or when you need them to carry weight (when you walk around your hip flexors need to carry your body), these same muscles have gotten so irritated that even without much activity you are in serious pain.
How our view of the body has evolved over the last 15 years….
Looking at the body and thinking that the nerves and the bones are the most important things is an old fashioned and outdated perspective. We now know that soft tissue balance (fascia and muscles) are just as important. They are also just as capable of creating severe pain. When you look at structural issues like worn out joints or irritated nerves, you are only looking at half of the puzzle. Why is the joint worn out? What is impinging on the nerve.
When you start to look at the soft tissue, you not only find the cause of the issue, you also often realise its not what you thought it was to begin with.

Can you share with me how you two met and how it began?
We first met in high school (yes, high school sweet hearts), and in Chemistry class, where we hit it off, and had………. Chemistry.
I guess our first date was when we both went for frozen yogurt after school one day. But we didn't start to officially date until first year University.
Also so how long have you been dating ?
We've been dating/engaged for about 13 years.
What was the most romantic things he/she did?
She did: Left work early and got my sister to driver her around (cause Jennie doesn't have a license) grocery shopping so she could cook me a birthday dinner.
He did: In University, we didn't make that much money and couldn't give each other extravagant gifts. I really wanted this "Lawyers" Korean drama and Peter saved some money (asked his dad haha) and bought me the drama. He wrapped the gift in white paper and drew a beautiful rose and wrote me a little love letter that I keep to this day.
How did he propose?
On a big family vacation with family from Calgary and Vancouver, we all met up in Kelowna. Everyone in the family knew that Peter was going to propose, but Jennie was clueless (like she always is). The entire family did a winery tour at Summerhill Pyramid (Illuminati… lol jk) Winery, where after lunch and a bunch of wine (liquid courage), Peter proposed to Jennie on a hill, with a backdrop of grape fields and the Okanagan lake surrounded by family. The family played a significant part in making it happen. Jennie was caught off guard and was genuinely surprised.

My form when doing squats is way off. Mike says I should be doing them with the bar in front of me, resting on my collarbone, with my elbows up in the air. It wrecks my wrists, and I feel like I'm being choked by the bar. The maximum I can do without my hands falling off is 45 kg (under 100 lbs). Not only that, I can't feel any benefit to the body parts that are supposed to be working. The only leg muscle that feels exercised is my right quad, which totally doesn't make sense.
My form is better with deadlifts, now that I'm properly tightening up my back before I lift, and keeping my behind lower than my shoulders when I start. Only doing 85 kg (187 lbs), so not even my own body weight, but that's enough to feel it in my lower back, so I don't want to push it.
Does anyone have tips on how to do squats without strangling?

If you're thinking about self-publishing a book, there 's something you need to know about prepping your prose before you go public: Proofreading is the last thing you need.
Begin on the starting blocks
When I say proofreading is the last thing you need, I mean it literally. Proofreading is the final stage in the editorial process prior to publication.
The self-publisher who moves straight from writing to proofreading is trying to win the race by starting on the finish line.
And unless you're an extraordinary self-editor, you'll be disappointed because it's likely your book won't be ready for market.
Retain control but mimic the mainstream
The beauty of self-publishing is the control you have over the process – you get to write the book you want on your terms. This means:
Still, the mainstream publishing industry knows a thing or two about producing books, and so they should – they've been doing it for long enough. And in their production world, proofreading comes last.
This isn't because it's less important than the previous stages of editing, or easier, or quicker, but because it's the final quality-control check to pick up what the interior designer, copy-editor, line editor and even a developmental editor missed – anything from an inconsistent character's name to a misplaced apostrophe, a missing page number to a misspelled word, a rogue paragraph indent to an incorrectly formatted reference.
This staged approach to editorial production, carried out by fresh, specialist sets of eyes, increases the likelihood that when the book hits the shelves – even the digital ones – most of the errors will have been fixed.
If you mimic the mainstream publishing industry when you self-publish, you reach for the same bar.
The different stages of editing
When it comes to the different stages of editing, things are complicated by the fact that there are no universally applied terms used within the publishing industry or by the thousands of independent editors and proofreaders. However, what the industry doesn't disagree on is the order.
Here's a framework to help you visualize the process:
This is the big-picture work that focuses on stuff like structure, plot, pace, narrative point of view and characterization. Terminology varies but look out for the following: developmental editing, content editing, substantive editing, story editing or structural editing.
This is sentence-level work that focuses on flow, form, readability and engagement. You might hear it called line editing or stylistic editing.
This is sentence-level work that focuses on correct and consistent spelling, grammar, punctuation and layout. It might include fact-checking, too. It's usually referred to as copyediting.
This is the quality-control stage that picks up anything missed beforehand. This is where proofreading comes into play. If working on designed page proofs, the proofreader will also be checking that the layout matches the brief.
Be realistic: artistry versus wizardry
Some new writers think that hiring a round of proofreading will be enough to make their book ready for market. It comes as a shock, not least to the wallet, when they realize what mimicking the mainstream publishing industry will entail.
However, I promise you this – a proofreader will not be able to fix 14,000 spelling, punctuation and grammar errors, strengthen the narrative arc, and omit all the wordiness – all in one pass – and hand the file back to the writer with a guarantee of perfection attached to the invoice.
8 tips for self-publishers on a budget
Here are some ideas that will help you make the tough decisions. Click on the image to save and download your own copy of the infographic.
Last but not least … the proofreader
One pass is not enough. Proofreading is an essential part of the self-publishing process, but it's only one part. Staged editing isn't cheap – ask any mainstream press – but it's the surest way to professional self-publishing that turns discerning readers into fans.
And fans won't just buy this book; they'll buy every book you'll ever write.

Eastern Nazarene Unveils New College Mascot
Published: May 13, 2009
QUINCY, MASS., May 13, 2009 ? Eastern Nazarene College has a new mascot: Henceforth, the Christian liberal arts college's athletics teams will be known as the
ENC Lions.
The new mascot was introduced to students, faculty and staff last night at an ice cream social held to mark the end of the semester and celebrate seniors' upcoming commencement.
"We wanted to share the news of our new mascot before our graduating seniors left campus," College President Corlis McGee said. "The entire ENC community had an opportunity to offer input, and we look forward to rooting for our ENC Lions at sporting events in the future."
Created by Quincy's Cyclone Design, the new mascot features a golden lion atop the college name, with the word "LIONS" outlined in red over the college shield. The Lions replaces the college's previous mascot of the Crusaders ? a term whose connotation has changed over the years, ENC officials said.
"When ENC and many other Christian colleges first adopted the Crusader mascot, the term was perceived much more positively," said McGee, who noted that Illinois' Wheaton College, Point Loma Nazarene University and other U.S. colleges also have opted to replace their Crusader mascots. "In today's world, the term often carries a negative connotation, and there was a growing awareness among ENC students, faculty and alumni that the Crusader no longer represented the positive message of Christian love we aim to share with the world."
Eric Severson, a professor of religion at Eastern Nazarene, concurred. In a statement supporting the mascot change, Severson noted that the sanitized image of the Crusader overlooks a complicated historical record that includes cruelty and barbarism.
"The violent soldier of the crusades," Severson wrote, "?is simply a poor representative of ENC's commitment to Christian love."
ENC Alumnus Dr. Mark H. Mann ? a former Crusader basketball player whose grandfather, longtime ENC President Edward S. Mann, selected the Crusader ? also supported changing the mascot.
"I thank God that we have decided to make the change," Mann said. "It fills me with great pride to know that, in disassociating ourselves from the atrocities of the medieval Crusaders, we are better able to communicate the distinctly Christian mission and vision of those who, like my grandfather, sought to build a college that above all glorifies Christ."
After agreeing that it was time to retire the Crusader, ENC officials established a selection committee, which solicited suggestions and feedback from the campus community and alumni.
"The lion is a symbol of courage and strength," said McGee, noting that the Bible refers to Jesus as "the Lion of the tribe of Judah." "I think the very fact that ENC was willing to explore the mascot issue, and to open a dialogue on the subject, exemplifies the strengths of a Christian liberal arts education."
About Eastern Nazarene College
Located in Quincy, Mass. on Boston's historic south shore, Eastern Nazarene College (ENC) is a fully accredited liberal arts college. With approximately 1,200 students distributed across its traditional residential undergraduate program as well as adult studies and graduate programs, ENC is known for its success in getting students into top graduate and medical schools, and has a 100 percent acceptance rate for its students into law school. While many faculty members are active in publishing and research, and several are leaders in their fields, ENC is committed to focusing on the teaching and mentoring of students in a nurturing, spiritually informed and academically supportive environment.

For the last ten years we have been organising theatre visits for our members, and they have been very popular. The variety of productions range from opera at Glyndebourne, through comedies such as ' One Man, Two Guv'nors', Shakespeare at the Globe, moving plays such as 'Uncle Vanya' and 'the Madness of King George', marvellous productions like 'War Horse' , and musicals like 'Matilda' and 'Top Hat'. Because we book tickets for more than 10 people, we can command a considerable reduction on the price, sometimes as much as £20. Members learn about the next theatre visit at the monthly meetings, and by being on our mailing list on the internet. If they wish to join us, they send us a cheque for the requisite amount, along with a stamped addressed envelope. This is for us to send them their tickets, or return the cheque if less than 10 members have joined us. When we first started, we also hired a coach to take us to London and back, but this was both expensive, and time consuming, so, since almost all of us have senior rail cards, it has become our practice to travel up by train, sometimes earlier in the day in order to take in an exhibition or do some shopping. We often meet up for supper in some restaurant near the relevant theatre, and certainly on the train home that evening there is much discussion of the production we have seen. Members may bring their friends on these visits, and occasionally even their children or grandchildren. It's a delightful way to make more friends in HWDFAS, and enjoy much that the London theatre scene has to offer.

A proposed trip in February did not recruit but our last trip on 3rd May did and a small group of us went to see Moliere's The Miser at the Garrick Theatre. The size of the group (about a dozen) was possibly a conception of this as a classical play often studied in the 6th form at school but, in fact, it was a real slapstick performance reminiscent of the Whitehall farces and had many of us convulsed with laughter.

The Cinematic Orchestra | 01/17/19
The Cinematic Orchestra, the British electronic duo founded by Jason Swinscoe and co-helmed by Dominic Smith, will return with their first album in 12 years 'To Believe,' out March 15 on Domino/Ninja Tune. Pre-order album.
Over the course of the album's 7 sweeping tracks, Swinscoe and his longtime artistic partner Smith explore a timeless question of vital importance in 2019 - what to believe?
To accompany the announcement, The Cinematic Orchestra have released a new song "A Caged Bird/Imitations of Life" featuring Roots Manuva. The track, which was revealed via a website only accessible on offline devices - a paradox illuminating the album's central theme - was available initially last week on 12" in independent record stores and sold out in a matter of hours. Listen to "A Caged Bird/Imitations of Life" featuring Roots Manuva here: https://tco.lnk.to/tobelieve
'To Believe' features contributions from collaborators old and new: vocalists Moses Sumney, Heidi Vogel, Grey Reverend (featured on Bonobo's 'First Fires'), Dorian Concept and Tawiah (Mark Ronson, Kindness), with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (Flying Lotus, Anderson Paak, Thundercat, Hiatus Kaiyote) on strings. The record was mixed by GRAMMY-winner Tom Elmhirst (David Bowie, Frank Ocean, Adele) at Electric Lady studios in New York City.
17 years into Swinscoe and Smith's partnership, their approach has lost none of its urgency or searing insight, and "A Caged Bird/Imitations of Life" is proof of that. Roots Manuva laments how our "situation is strange to us, stranger things are claiming us" over a pounding, hypnotic rhythm section that concedes to the choruses' soaring strings.
In 2019 it is easy to see The Cinematic Orchestra's influence - their critically-acclaimed 1999 debut album 'Motion' helped pave the way for today's modern jazz landscape, and encouraged a new generation of musicians to break rules. 'To Believe' doesn't shy away from this ethos - its articulation of the band's unique sonic language, encompassing not only jazz but the sort of transcendental orchestration combined with the elegant electronics of artists like Ólafur Arnalds and Floating Points (artists they have helped forge a path for) - has never been more cohesive and compelling.
Since 'Motion,' The Cinematic Orchestra have sold hundreds of thousands of albums, generated almost half a billion streams and enjoyed critical support from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian, The New York Times, Fader, Rolling Stone and more. Their opus "To Build A Home" has been synced to dozens of films and TV shows including Orange Is The New Black and This Is Us, as well as brands like Burberry, Armani, Nike and Apple.
The Cinematic Orchestra have sold out storied venues around the world, including London's Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House. They've performed across the festival circuit, including appearances at Coachella and Glastonbury. The Cinematic Orchestra will tour extensively in support of 'To Believe,' including a three-night residency at London's iconic Roundhouse in March. US dates will be announced soon.

Aaaand: I finally managed to write a bit, though I'm still behind with reading.
Title: Highspeed to love (8/ ???)
Fandom: Zeke; Casey; OMC (no pairings)
Rating: R
Disclaimer: of course, not mine
Author's notes: AU without Marybeth and Herrington High - Zeke is 23 years old in this story, living in Youngstown, Ohio - Casey, is 18 years old and loves ... cooking. Or what do you think ? ;)
Previous parts: one / two / three / four / five / six / seven /
Zeke hurried into his office. He had been there two hours ago to offer Casey spaghetti for dinner - of course only tinned ones - but the boy had been still asleep. Zeke had left him alone again and wondered, when he had been able to relax that much for the last time.
Now Casey was sitting on the couch, knees pulled up, the book rested in his lap. A mug with coffee was standing beside him on the desk. Ben turned around when Zeke entered the office.
"What is he still doing here?"
Great. Throughout the day he had had no thoughts for Ben. Though he should have known how he would react. Ben never trusted others easily. And his first meeting with Casey had been anything but pleasant. Zeke decided to play cool.
"He needs a place to stay," he answered.
"I told him that he can crash here for a few days!"
Ben blinked wildly.
"Damned. How can he dare it? He is such a freeloader!"
Before Zeke could say something, Casey snarled:
"I'm not! I'm gonna work for it!"
"Working? Here?"
Ben huffed derisively.
"What do you know about cars, huh?"
"Ähm ... cars?"
Ben rolled his eyes.
"This is a garage, you know. We are repairing cars. And I bet, you don't even know where to look for the motor."
Casey kept quiet for a moment. Finally he shrugged.
"Well, it's not all about stupid cars. I bet, you don't even know the meaning of blanching. Or poaching."
Ben looked confused and Zeke chuckled slightly.
"Cooking, I guess," he explained.
"What? What the hell are you talking about? You don't know anything about cooking."
"No, I don't," Zeke agreed.
"But obviously he does!"
"Holy shit! How geeky is this?"
"Oh, shut up, you moron," Casey hissed.
"At least I know how to make an omelette. And Zeke likes it. He wants me to make breakfast for him every day!"
This made Ben speechless. Dumbfound he stared at Zeke who tried hard not to laugh out loud. This was fun - the two boys fighting like two cats in heat. But it was better to stop it now. He knew, he couldn't make them to like each other, but they had to get on with each other at least for the next few days. He turned to Ben.
"So, driving lesson," he asked.
"Got the key?"
Ben shrugged but still hesitated to follow Zeke outside.
"Wait! You don't want to leave him here alone, do you?"
Zeke sighed slightly.
"Yes Ben, I will," he said, trying hard to stay calm.
"I don't think that he needs a babysitter. Unless you would like to invite him to come with us!"
"Oh shit, no way!"
Ben snorted, grabbed the key from the desk and rushed out of the garage. Casey smirked.
"Have fun," he called.
Zeke rolled his eyes and followed Ben over to the old Audi which the two of them had restored together. Ben looked still moody. Zeke nudged him slightly.
"Hey, c'mon. Give him a chance. You know what people told me when I decided to give you a job? If I had listened to them you wouldn't be here today!"
For a moment Ben kept quiet. Finally he took a deep breath.
"Just be careful, okay," he said.
"He sneaks into your life and then ... bang!"
Zeke chuckled amused.
"Bang ... what?"
Ben shrugged.
"Just bang. I can feel it. He's not telling you everything."
"Well, he doesn't need to," Zeke said.
"It's not that I wanna marry him. He is just staying for a few days. Not later than a few weeks he's gonna leave Youngstown anyway and we will probably never see him again."
"If you say so," Ben snarled.
But however, I will keep an eye on him!"

Burgol Shoe Polish
The secret of this handcrafted and sewn-welted full-brogue Derby lies undoubtedly in the details. While the bottom side of the semi-matt calfskin is dyed orange, the leather upper maintains a warm brown tone.
The result is an exciting yet subtle contrast of colours on the cut edges of the opulent perforation pattern. Traditionally equipped with open four-eyelet lacing, this classic shoe also inspires with a triple outsole, as well as six elaborate brass nails and fittings at the tip of the outsole.
The characteristic perforation pattern can be traced back to Scottish and Irish shepherds and could originally be found on the entire leather upper. Thus the shoes, often drenched by the boggy highlands of Ireland and Scotland, were able to dry more easily. Today, the stylish and elegant broguing serves solely as ornamentation.
Crafted by a master. Worn by an Expert.
Each day, the best cobblers in Hungary only make about 25 pairs of Dinkelacker shoes in our Budapest factory: This is one of them. As a result, Germany's most exclusive men's shoe brand is only available in limited qualities, from selected retailers or here in our online shop.
Only the most sophisticated materials are used to make hand-crafted Heinrich Dinkelacker footwear. Moreover, each shoe spends six whole days on a last in our factory. This pays off for wearers, ensuring extreme durability and magnificent fidelity to fit that put this footwear in a league of its own.
Heinrich Dinkelacker has gone further towards defining the Budapester than any other shoe brand. Some of our lasts have been in use for over 60 years. Our shoes feature striking and unique details that make them instantly recognisable to insiders, from top managers of stock-listed enterprises through to Berlin-based hipsters.

In Search of the Willow Palisade
In Manchuria: A Village Called Wasteland and the Transformation of Rural China
By Michael Meyer
Bloomsbury 365pp £20 order from our bookshop
When I first went to China, in 1999, no one I knew had been there. Most of what people claimed to know about the country was either a stereotype or hopelessly outdated: my grandmother asked me if they had telephones. Sixteen years later, it's no longer unusual to spend a week (or a year) in Beijing, Shanghai or Kunming. The boom in tourism has made the country much better known, both to Chinese people and to foreigners. Yet the mostly rural interior of the country remains little visited and scarcely reported in foreign media; one rarely hears that someone went to Anhui, Henan or Hunan provinces on their holiday. Perhaps the least visited region is the northeast, whose three provinces (Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang) are together the size of France and Germany combined, and with almost the same size population. I never visited any of these in the three years I lived in the country because I thought of them as freezing cold and remote, even by Chinese standards. I suspect the only reason I would have visited is that which initially drew Michael Meyer to the place: he was in love with a girl.

Andy S wrote:I see Dorking have finally confirmed the worst kept secret of the summer. Good luck there chaps. In the spirit of this openness that I keep hearing about will we get a fee for Rory as he had agreed a new deal in April? I'm guessing probably not as the terms of any contract signed would have changed because of the new training hours. Today really hits home how in 12 months we've virtually seen our entire squad move on, many of whom were more like family, and in some cases, friends.

A fitting conclusion to the World Buddha Heritage series, the Shakyamuni Buddha from the Kingdom of Bhutan, the issuing country of this coin series, is specially selected to feature in the final coin issue. This magnificent statue of the Shakyamuni Buddha sits atop a hill, overlooking the Southern entrance to Thimpu Valley of Bhutan.
At a towering height of 51 metres, the Shakyamuni Buddha of Bhutan is a bronze statue gilded in gold, seated on a 20m throne under the Buddha Dordenma project. This Buddha statue enshrines a total of 125,000 smaller Buddha statues within the body and the throne. The Urna in between the eyebrows of the Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the Third Eye, symbolizes the Eye of Wisdom that sees unity. It is made up of 1000 carat diamonds mounted with diamond holders made of 10 kg of 18K gold.
Inspired by the Buddha's tight ringlets of hair on his head, an intricate pattern of circular ringlets lightly engraved behind the Shakyamuni Buddha forms the background of the coin obverse, representing life between the extremes of indulgence and mortification. Each feature and contour of the Shakyamuni Buddha has been meticulously engraved and artfully gilded to highlight his divine proportions. Coupled with ultra-high, gold-gilded relief on the 1oz fine silver coin, the vivid three-dimensional Buddha smiles faintly with his eyes half-closed.
The victory banner featured on the coin reverse is Gyaltsen - one of the 8 auspicious elements in Buddhism. Gyaltsen signifies the victory of the Buddha's teachings over death, ignorance, disharmony and all obstacles and negativities. It also symbolizes the victory of good over the evil forces which interferes the success of noble goals.
