A bit of good news, bad news. FX has officially passed on the Thomas Lennon/ Robert Ben Garant pilot U.S.S. Alabama. The men behind Reno 911 and Night At The Museum had pitched the show as a crazy, sci-fi adventure a thousand years in the future about a UN Peacekeeping spaceship, but apparently, the project was either too expensive or just didn't work creatively. One network's loss is another's gain though, as this has freed up visionary comedian Rob Huebel to sign on for Fox's Family Album.
You probably remember Huebel as 1/3rd of MTV's Human Giant, but he also turned in a very memorable performance as Tevin in the Paul Rudd/ Jason Segal comedy I Love You, Man. Family Album, curiously being directed by Night At The Museum helmer Shawn Levy, follows a bit of a throwback dad who decides to pile the family into the car for a stressful, joyless vacation. If the pilot works out, each season will follow one particular summer trip, sorta like 24 with presumably fewer murders and more awkwardness.
Rob Huebel will play the patriarch's brother. No one else has yet been cast. With a high profile director and Huebel already on board, there's a very good chance you'll be seeing this on Fox's fall schedule next year.

So, I'm a slacker. Day 8 of 30 Days About Me and I think this is only my 4th post. I've never been much of a 50% girl, but life takes precedence, right? So, today I'm climbing back on the wagon with today's prompt: Something I Hate.
True confession: I try to not use the word hate very often. Especially around my kids. We usually have the discussion that hate is a very, very strong word that should be reserved for extreme situations. The word stupid also falls into that category. Still, like (most) parents I know, I find myself saying things that I tell my kids not to.
There's the easy list of 'things' that I hate…smoking, olives, eggplant, record-hot-temperatures, that my house gets messier far often than it's pristine and when people read over my shoulder. Snakes. Mice. Taking out the trash. Running out of coffee or cream.
Then there's the important list; the philosophical/ethical issues that make me cringe. Things like parentless children, people who think they know it all, people who judge based on someone's skin color and unrealized potential. Excuses, wallowing in self-pity and blaming others for ones' choices. Perhaps hate isn't the right word for that, but I dislike those harsh realities of life.

Paris - Deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi wrote to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in August begging him to halt a Nato-led intervention that was helping a rebel uprising drive him from power, French weekly Paris Match reported.If authentic, the missive reveals Gaddafi's desperation as, days after going on the run, he reached out to a man who had been a close friend and his most solid ally in Europe until Italy joined the West's campaign to back Libyan rebels.The magazine's website showed a copy of the letter, dated August 05 and in printed Arabic, with handwritten lines scrawled on it, purportedly by Gaddafi and marked to the attention of his aide Abdallah Mansour. It read: "Send on this message as coming from me, by means of this document, after correction."The words "new friends" at the bottom were then crossed out and "friends and allies" written above it in the same hand.Gaddafi was buried on Friday in a secret location in the Sahara desert, after being shot last week.In the missive, Gaddafi reproached Berlusconi, with whom he had developed a warm and jovial friendship over several years, for not intervening to help him and reminds him of the pact of friendship between the two countries."I have been surprised by the attitude of a friend with whom I have sealed a treaty of friendship that benefits both our nations," the letter read. "I would have hoped that at least you would have been concerned at the facts and would have attempted a mediation before adding your support to this war."Disastrous action Berlusconi said in a speech to supporters in September that had felt "very bad" about switching sides in April and joining the Nato campaign to oust his old friend from power. He said he had even considered resigning over the issue.It is not clear whether the letter ever reached Berlusconi, who appealed to Gaddafi on August 22 to end his resistance to avoid further bloodshed in Libya. There was no immediate comment available from Berlusconi's office on Friday.Paris Match magazine said the letter had been delivered to Berlusconi's office by an Italian couple that had become friends of Gaddafi as they run an agency that provided personnel for conferences Gaddafi held on his trips to Rome.The letter went on to say that it was not too late for Italy to change direction and protect Gaddafi, and that he and his supporters were ready to turn the page on relations with Italy."I do not blame you for things you are not responsible for because I am well aware that you were not in favour of this disastrous action which honours neither you nor the Italian people," the letter read.
There is no honour amongst thieves.
It's kind of hard to feel sorry for Gaddafi, he could have just left...
"hey , i should step down down and call elections for the good of Libya" he just couldn't do that and let go of power after 42yrs.
Well said Thulebona, Gaddafi had more than enough time to surrender.
Appeals by a despot deserves no sympathy and, having read so many negative reports about Berlusconi, I'm not surprised he was a "good friend" of the ruthless tyrant. Funny how the Ities change their spots.... different shades of yellow!
You are a true corrupt loyalist of anything NATO and its evil us/uk empire.
Funny how ppl that think that God made them to rule 4ever die in such a way. God loves his ppl, not ppl who want to be God.
Berlusconi just switch sides from the side of one tyrant, to the side of many Western tyrants. The powers that control the direction of the world are mostly evil. The simple man in the street has no interest in unrest and war. It is normally people in power that use propoganda, and false promises, to entice predominantly underprivledged and uneducated people to rise up and fight for a cause that will only benefit the leaders. This is the modus operandi by which the likes of western leaders & Julius Malema operate.
wish magabe would read some of these comments!!
The guy could have just left office, settled somewhere and had himself a long party life.
settle with what? they took all his money saying it belonged to the libyian people.mxm im not saying they are wrong all im saying is lots of ppl all over the world and in SA are sitting with ppl's money/property and i dont c that money being taken frm them.
He has billions in overseas bank accounts. He would have retired quite nicely. Stop feeling sorry for him.
The interesting thing is that Gadaffi chose a bloody death in his home town. To some that points to a person who had more loyalty to his cause that one who chose to run away to some Gulf state. Unlike Mugabe, Gadaffi ran a country with no debt, with the best health and education metrics in Africa and which was crime-free. Now watch what happens.
Good point, he could have left Libya, but chose to stay until the bitter end. I btw. don't expect things to turn out better from now for Libyans. Not that I think that things under Gadaffi were remotely perfect.
i feel xory for the man qadaffi..but its of no use now,,he is dead..what a pity he died like a rat in a tunnell..sob!
Even Italians are tired of silvio, he is just like Gaddafi
You can't blame the Italians. The letter was intercepted, stolen and made it's way to France. How gullible are people really?
An Israeli intelligence source says US and British forces had surrounded the hideout of former Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi two weeks before he was captured and killed.
On Monday, the Israeli intelligence news service DEBKA quoted US sources as saying that American drones kept the building in Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte under surveillance, while it was surrounded by US and British forces.
The DEBKA underlined that both the US and the UK had boots on the ground in breach of the UN mandate which allowed the implementation of a no-fly zone over Libya.
In addition, the intelligence news service's special report said some of the accounts of Gaddafi's last days suggest that he abandoned the precautions which kept him safe for years and was not afraid to use the satellite and cell phones which gave his position away.
Gaddafi was captured and killed on Thursday by the revolutionaries after NATO warplanes targeted his convoy west of Sirte.
The news comes as US, French and German officials compete to claim credit for locating Gaddafi's convoy.
The Israeli report confirms that, working through NATO, US President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy managed to finish off Gaddafi.
German? I thought I read that the Germans wanted nothing to do with the NATO raids on Libya?
This Italian traitor betrayed Gaddafi. You won't rest traitor, I wish he visits you every night to haunt you. Italian job indeed!
Libya will never be the same again,I feel sorry for all Libyan people there will never be revolution,Everyone is after oil....
If that is true, the oil part that everyone keeps shouting about, as far as I understand they only produce about 2% of the worlds oil. Surely it's not enough to sustain the west?
'Libya will never be the same again' - you got that right, good riddance for bad rubbish I think the saying goes?
I agree Alan, there is much more profitable countries out their to target than Libya.
The western imperialists are interested in Libyan oil, not the people of Libya. These traitors who were given guns to destroy their own country will one day wake up to face this reality. You just cannot trust the imperialists.
So Gadaffi is dead and buried somewhere in the desert in an unmarked grave and another country (with all its riches) is in the hands of the High Priests of War.
It obviously depends on which reports you look at, but the US cost of the war in Libya came to about $1 Billion dollars...that is $1000 million over a period of about eight months of NATO intervention.
One Billion Dollars...not bad considering that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq is costing the US $15 Billion a month. So the total war in Libya cost the US less than the war in Afghanistan in one week.
When I say, "Costing the US..." I use the term loosely, because the US obviously does not have this money. They get this money from raising the price of Brent Crude Oil to five times its true value and the rest of the world has to pay for their wars.
But all things considered, the war in Libya was over in eight months, at a relatively minuscule cost of $1 billion dollars and not a single American soldier lost his life.
Now THAT is how take over a country!!!
he offered elections NATO refused as he would have won. you all love to bash gaddafi here, western media has infected your little brains.
Moron, he broke his own ceasefire agreement.
Source for that, Frank?
So it was right that SA stepped down to please the world regarding democrating change. Now the world expected the same from Gaddafi. I wonder what the ANC will do if they are asked the same from the world. Will they step down? All because of money and natural recources. America was hunting that oil for a very long time. China is not far behind in SA.
Inasmuch that I felt for the Late Libyan Leader (now former and deceased), I see it as being foolhardy not to have relinquished power on time. If possible he could have conducted an election and perhaps install any of his stooges as the new Leader. But power without adequate sensibility is dangerous and deadly. African Leaders MUST pick lessons from these histories viz-a-viz those of Liberia (Late Samuel Doe), Ivory Coast, Egypt, Charles Taylor, Uganda, etc. These are countries where their Leaders though well respected, feared and held in high esteem during their reign ended up being treated like common criminals.
I wept for the Late Maumman Ghadaffi and the huge loss of lives, wealth, economy and machines.

Well, after about six months of thinking, researching, reading trip reports, questioning, checking out every India guidebook published (not kidding here), more researching, and planning we (the no longer leery husband and I) are soon to be off. And, for six weeks. But, of course, some of you will see SIX WEEKS and tell me I didn't properly learn my lessons!
Because of some things that came up in our lives, we weren't able to depart in mid-January when we had originally planned, and so I now have planned a new and completely different itinerary encompassing only the northern part of the country because we are worried about getting caught in, as one B & B owner put it, "the big heat". Last minute international plane booking (not quite two weeks before departure) didn't cost us any more than the prices we were seeing six months ago, so this is good news for others who might also be making a last minute trip. But, we felt comfortable undertaking such a long trip on such short notice only because I've already done all of the research and leg work. So, the major difficulty I am having with this last minute planning is the stupid train tickets. Incredible what a PIA this can be. So, that leads to….
Lesson 1—If you want to travel by train, book waaaaaaaaay ahead, or play the waitlist game knowing full well your entire plan could be blown away by failure to get seats on a certain train.
Lesson 2—Plan an itinerary that focuses on what you like to do. Rather than doing the same things that most everyone does (although we are still doing plenty of this) we've planned a trip tailored to our interests. So, we are spending virtually no time in the big cities, some time in smaller cities, and most of our time in rural locales staying at a mix of small family-run places and the more reasonably priced heritage properties. We'll be seeing some of the typical tourist attractions as well as spending time in nature-based, wildlife and outdoorsy endeavors and just seeing the rural countryside and how people live there.
Lesson 3—Find a good agent. Normally this isn't our style because I've always planned all of our trips on my own, but I finally gave it up this time around realizing that at the very least I'd need help with routing and arranging for a car and driver in Rajasthan. For the Rajasthan part of this trip (and maybe a bit more) I am using a very good agent I found who knows all of the smaller places and back-road itineraries. He'll do as much or as little as we want him to do.
Lesson 4—Slow down, plan in plenty of down-time, and don't over schedule. We only have a couple one night stays (and a couple overnight train trip), and many places we will be staying are chosen specifically for their low-key local excursions and hiking/horseback riding and safari-type activities. Plus, our e-readers are fully loaded with reading material.
Lesson 5—Don't try to tackle too large of an itinerary. We've got lots of quality time in southern Rajasthan (and Jaisalmer in the west), moving into Madhya Pradesh for Orchha, a brief stop at Khajuraho, and then Panna park while on our way to Varanasi. Then, we will take at least a good one to two weeks at the end of our trip to move up into the foothills of the Himalayas for some relaxation and to do day treks (and maybe some homestays) in the Kuamon and Binsar areas.
Lesson 6—Still struggling with this one. Booking everything ahead vs. winging it. In other parts of the world we've found some marvelous places on road trips by just exploring and checking out the area and seeing what appeals to us. But, my gut tells me this probably isn't as much the case for India. In fact, finding lodging isn't the problem with spontaneity because we'll be in shoulder season, and my agent tells me that tourism is down this year due to the poor European economy. It's the train and planes that preclude spontaneity. We will have at least the first ten days to two weeks completely scheduled and booked. After that ??????
Lesson 7—Plan for the unexpected. I guess we'll see what happens with this one………….
And, finally, from ClarkB, Lesson 8—Bring snack bars.
Thanks for all of the time you have taken to answer my unending questions. And, in a separate thread I'll be asking one more question of the females—that all-important question of shoes.

Well, after about six months of thinking, researching, reading trip reports, questioning, checking out every India guidebook published (not kidding here), more researching, and planning we (the no longer leery husband and I) are soon to be off.

Great that you're going! Sounds like you've taken all the info to heart. Will eagerly await the TR - will you be posting from the road?

Have a wonderful time. If you are going from Agra to Orchha, may I suggest spending a night in Gwalior? The fort there is very different from all other forts we saw in rajastan and the palace was also unique. It is a smaller town which we enjoyed very much and it surprises me that more people do not go there. There were also fabulous stone budhas carved out of the rocks on the pathway leading to the fort and several interesting temples nearby.

Have a wonderful time! I am looking forward to your report.

Have a wonderful trip, Julie! Congratulations on getting it all organized after your long journey to the journey!
Your lessons are wise and will seem even more so AFTER the trip-- (e.g. how do you know now what you will like?) although i am sure they are based on your previous travel experiences as well.
I would book one night at a place, instead of winging it. If you dont like the place, you can always change the next day. What are sone of the places you've chosen? Tripadvisor may or may not be a good predictor of what a place is really like--which is why the "one-night" only for initial reservations, can be a good idea.(Example_-my experience at Sunbird Lodge at Bharatpur--which you read about)
As for "just seeing the rural countryside and how people live there"once you are on the road, you will see it...you dont have to searchfor it. One block of a village , one quarter mile of driving on the roads and you'll see how people live. this is what i like about travel by car (vs train). YOu can stop where you want. YOu'll see "genuine" everywhere, including the train tracks, as you watch people start the morning fires of rubbish, using the outdoor toilet, having a bucket bath, etc. As i've said before--it's ALL "the real India"
There is a bit of modern highway on the jaipur Agra Road--a bit of a shock to see cars sticking to the assigned lane. But it made me miss the more usual chaos and close-up looks at people along the road.
After your research you of course have preconceptions .Some will inevitably be different from what you are envisioning -both good and bad. Be prepared to be elated,delighted, energized, invigorated..and occasionally dismayed
Agree with Dgunbug's rec for Gwalior. Havent been (yet) but in Karauli where i stayed, the Maharani said it is wonderful to visit. (Having seen the amazing renovations she did at Karauli Fort and Palace, i trust her!)
If you are near Abhaneri in Rajasthan, it is IMHO a do-not-miss. Not just for the stepwell, but for the marvelous old palce, where an archeolgical survey is in progress, and the tiny village around it, the old man making little pottery tea cups that are used in the dhaba there, etc.

This is the first post I've seen where the OP delivers lessons about travel in India BEFORE they go.

I appreciate the comments and will be checking out some of the places you have mentioned. Gwalior I already have tentative plans for. Karauli I had thought about but just don't know about fitting it in. Cali please tell me more about your experience there. Abhaneri is a place I haven't heard of,so I'll have to do more research.
As far as the question of how can I know ahead of time what we'll like. We've traveled enough all over the world to know which types of things we like to do. Obviously India is different, but I can make categories based on our travels in Peru, Vietnam, Europe, Central America, Mexico and the US.
Our current plan is to spent 1 night in Delhi (at Delhi B & B which someone on this forum recommended). Then the overnight train to Jaisalmer (could only get ticketes in 3AC so should be an experience) where we'll have 3 nights. From there to Mandore Guest House (small and connected with a NGO) on the outskirts of Jodhpur. From there our plans differ from most peoples' because we will be staying in the rural areas. Bhadrajun and Fort Dhamli for a taste of the smaller heritage places and their villages. Castle Bera where the owner takes guests out on night leopard spotting expeditions, probably dipping down to Poshina in Gujarat (thanks Dogster for the recommendation), Udai Bilas in Dungapur for our big splurge. Probably one night only in Udaipur because many travelogues I've read where epeople did the quieter, smaller, rural-type trip have mentioned that the noise etc. in Udaipur turned them off. But, we'll see; I am still flexible. Then, more of a traditional itinerary again for a while--Bundi, Gwalior, Orchha, an afternoon visit to Khajaraho on our way to a 3 night stay at a lodge on a river right by Panna park. On to Varanasi. Then, up to the Himalayan foothills in the Kuamon area.
Someone asked me about posting from India. Well, I have no idea about internet availability at the places we'll be staying, so we'll see.

you might want to reconsider the length of your stay at some places. It's fine to settle in for a bit, but also, three days in the middle of nowhere can be LONG! Just a general tip.
Some of the "heritage" places are in the middle of nowhere, and (having stayed ina few that were surrounded by the local village) there is only so much of interest after a day or two. Yes, hard to believe from afar, when the exoticaness of it all is enticing..but true.
Admittedly, I dont know anything about Panna, but three days on alodge on the river? What makes you want to stay that long (honest curiosity--teach me!!) . Well, u can switch plans for shorter or longer stays.
I have actually heard NOt good things about Delhi B and B from someone who stayed there (she also posted on this forum before her trip) I just stayed at Saubhag B and B, which was wonderful. You can have owner Meera's bicycle rickshaw driver Ghopi drive you for a look at a typical busy and interrsting city street (Karol Bagh) I think you are short changing yourselves in your avoidance of cities when you have the time to see them. One night in Delhi??? At least try to drive through parts of the city after the sun sets .There is something magical about the lit up dhabas and shops and people around the fires on the roadside.
I sense you think have to search for a certain type of experience (wherever in India) but you don't. Just a one hour drive down a road in either the city or country will show you that. Again, I am glad you have mostly NOT locked yourself into a set in stone itin.Very wise, julie.
Abhaneri is amazing, not just for the step well, but for the small surrounding 9th century palace/fort and TINY village.
Karauli--NOT one of those refurbished $500 night heritage places. This is the real thing , with a sense of its age. SOme of the plumbing looks like it is the original from the "modernization" of the 1930s No granite countertops! The Maharani and Maharajah and their son live in the palace (a commonly used word in India--mansion is more what i would say) IF you stay, request a suite, not one of the basic rooms. And the town of Karauli, with its amazing old fort/place--incredible!!- and winding market streets.. But it is a long drive perhaps off your planned itin, although as you get closer (after Hindaun town) the roadside becomes increasingly rural, friendly and staring people, mud plaster houses and farms, the usual camels, horses, cows, goats, everywhere. But, again, this is a scene you will find in many of your travels.

Oooooh. Not good things about Delhi B& B! They've been quite prompt in responding to my inquiries. I haven't finalized my payment yet, so I'll also look into your suggestion for an alternate. And, I was kind of surprised when their website asks guests NOT to post reviews about them on the internet. Definitely different from most places in India who seem dying to get their name out there. Actually, I have left the tail end of our trip open thinking if we like what we see in our brief overnight in Delhi we can add it on before we fly home.
Our plan is to see Khajuraho during the day and then arrive for 3 nights at Ken River Lodge which is 30-45 minutes from Khajuraho. http://www.kenriverlodge.com/ It's rustic (right up our alley) rather than luxurious and right by Panna's entrance. The place offers the typical land safaris into the park but also offers boat rides and outings on the river to see things from that vantage, plus some walks. It is a lesser visited park because the focus isn't on tigers. Plus, supposedly it has a nice location for just sitting by the river and relaxing with a book and a drink. Since we have so long, we are definitely trying to build in some down time.
Actually I don't have any 3 night stays planned in rural areas other than when we are up on the Himalayan foothills specifically to do hiking from a base. No, I don't think I need to specifically search out the flavor of rural India since I know it will be all around. Rather, I am looking for places that offer different types of activities and experiences. The agent I am using has been very good about telling me if a place will be repetitious and provide basically be more of the same as other places we are visiting.
Thanks for your help.

Have a great time Julie!!! Your explanations make lots of sense--well thought out. And you are VERY smart to have some flexibiliy in there.
I envy your tip up to the Kumaon hill area. I've loved the "hill sations" i've been to in Himachal and Tamil Nadu. So looking forward to your reports of that area.
Who is your agent? He sounds excellent. Is it someone from this forum, or have you rec'd other recommendations and chosen. If you are happy with the service thus far, definitely get his name out to us!

Experience your next Florida beach vacation at The Yellow Dolphin Vacation rental home of St. Augustine Beach.
Just walking distance to the beach, and two blocks from the St. Augustine Pier, The Yellow Dolphin features amenities that will make your stay comfortable, exciting and memorable. Nice, private outside area with fenced in yard, large deck with automatic sun setter awning, new carpet and tile, large breakfast bar in light, sunny spacious kitchen. Living room, dining room, one large bedroom suite and one additional bedroom. Historic downtown St. Augustine is just minutes away, as well as activities such as golfing, fishing, kayaking, shopping, dining and entertainment, and camping.
Our beach house is located within minutes to historical St. George street, and other St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and surrounding First Coast area attractions.
Keywords: home, house
I grew up in this house! St. Augustine has been my home forever! I lived a few years up North and then moved back to the warm beach. St. Augustine is a special historic town!
cathy purchased this house in 2001
This home is near and dear to my heart. I grew up in this house! The home has been completely remodeled. I have many fond memories of holidays and the day to day in this house. I have walked the beach here for decades.
This property is unique because the beach is just one block away. The large deck up stairs is warm and inviting. Great place to sun. Many restaurants are in walking distance! This home will be in my family for generations to come.
hey, we totally, totally enjoyed our stay at the yellow dolphin near the beach. Everything was done to enhance our stay. Those in charge of us were very friendly and always wanted to know if we needed anything or any information. The dolphin met our expectations. It was clean and spacious. loved having a fenced in area of our own. Liked very much having washing and drying facilities at the house. The upper deck was a delight. Everything about the dwelling was light and enjoyable.
We were located just 2 blocks from the beach and it was a great location!! easy walking provided multiple daily trips to the beach. We were able to see all local attractions once again that attract us.--fountain of youth, alligator farm, light house, marineland, mantanzes inlet, Castillo san marcos, and lots of other small stops. different beach locations driven to--exspecially wonderful also. Some of our favorite restaurants~O'Steens, The Reef, OC Whites, Columbia, A1a, coneheads ice cream, pizza time on St. George Street.
We would very much recommend the place to friends and relatives. It is our intention to revisit the same location, if possible, in the future. The only difficulty we face, being senior adults, were the stairs. However, going up and down them did keep up youthful and active!!!
The Yellow Dolphin was exactly as described in their listing. Everything was clean and well maintained. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The neighborhood was clean, safe and quiet! Just a short drive to historic St. Augustine. The only thing I would recommend is some pictures on the walls to make it feel more homey. Cathy and Debra were both super friendly and very helpful if we needed anything and also for recommendations on where to eat, places to see and directions! We would stay here again if ever back in this area!!
This house is in a great location at St Augustine Beach.. Walk to the beach, pier, shopping and restaurants.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Scotland. The Masterton family lived in the place called Masterton, which was in the county of Fife. Other local names are derived from the names of houses, manors, estates, regions, and entire counties. In this case, the place-name Masterton derives from the Older Scottish title, maister, and the Old English word, tune, which means village or settlement.
Masterton Early Origins
family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Scotland.
Masterton Spelling Variations
Masterton Spelling Variations
Before the first dictionaries appeared in the last few hundred years, scribes spelled according to sound. spelling variations are common among Scottish names. Masterton has been spelled Masterton, Mesterton, Masterdon and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In those unstable times, many had no choice but to leave their beloved homelands. Sickness and poverty hounded travelers to North America, but those who made it were welcomed with land and opportunity. These settlers gave the young nations of Canada and the United States a strong backbone as they stood up for their beliefs as United Empire Loyalists and in the American War of Independence. In this century, the ancestors of these brave Scots have begun to recover their illustrious heritage through Clan societies and other heritage organizations. Early passenger and immigration lists reveal many Scottish settlers bearing the name Masterton:
Masterton Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Masterton Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Masterton Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Masterton Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Pro Deo et rege
Motto Translation: For God and the king.

Unfortunately I took a bit of a fall today, involving my ski hitting myself in the goggles, luckily nothing bad. Although the sensor mirror has gotten a scratch, as shown. Which when looking through the lens appears to be more of a blue streak(I guess it's just scratched the coating off). It's kind of annoying at times but when you're skiing I didn't really notice it, you might though.
Because of this I've decided to price them at £70, a good deal even with just the frame and ignitor(which is still 8/10, with no scratches/marks visible when looking through it).
Here's a pic of the sensor mirror scratch:

Superintendent's Focus Goals/Seven Habits for an Effective Calhoun County School District 2013-2014
· Intense Focus on Student Achievement: The district must continue its focus on student achievement. This focus is centered on "Teaching and Learning". During the last two years, our student achievement has shown much improvement. We are quite pleased with the efforts of our teachers, students and staff. Our students must be thoroughly prepared for their chosen pathways after high school. The district's priority in this area must continue to be at the forefront. It is our core business.
· Students Proficient in Literacy Skills: All students must become proficient in their literacy skills (speaking, reading, writing, and listening). Students who demonstrate proficiency in these skills during their early grades will achieve success as they matriculate through the grades. With this focus, we expect students to read by the end of their first grade year. Success here can have a tremendous impact on "Teaching and Learning".
· High-Performing and Dedicated Teams: A culture of high expectations must be permeated throughout the organization. Everyone must be dedicated to performing at high levels in support of "Teaching and Learning". This expectation begins with the Superintendent, and is reinforced through the cabinet to all district employees. We must continue to recruit and retain highly qualified and talented personnel to maintain this focus.
· Efficient and Effective Operation: This focus centers on quality. It is important that everyone in the organization provide a high quality of work that supports the "Teaching and Learning"process. Quality promotes efficiency and effectiveness. This focus must also begin with the Superintendent and be reinforced through the cabinet to all district employees. This focus must be internalized throughout the district.
· Safe Learning Environment: Safety of students and employees is first and foremost. This is an expectation from all stakeholders. We must ensure that the appropriate policies and procedures are in place to protect the welfare of all who work and learn in our district. The immediate reporting of any unsafe act is the expectation for anyone who witness or suspect violations of safety. This focus is critical to "Teaching and Learning".
· Sustained Community Engagement: This focus is critical in that our school district must have the involvement, support, and engagement of community stakeholders to be successful. It is imperative that we reach out, keeping the community informed as equal partners in our "Teaching and Learning Focus".
· Professionalism and Customer Service: This focus centers on relationships with each other and our customers, as professionals. Students, parents/guardians, and other stakeholders are customers. We must internalize that sense of family as an organization to aid "Teaching and Learning".

The company technicians make certain that every house or complex is managed and fitted wonderfully with trained technicians who give the individuals a long time guarantee. They also have the information to help the shoppers all over the country buying and choosing equipment and over the installation process too.
Advanced AC units are proposed for smooth installations that happen to be excessively huge for residential units to manage.

Thermal energy is absorbed because of the water in a source of heat, Conveyed from the water from the distribution piping, And finally released to a heated space by the heat emitter ( ie. finned tube baseboards, radiant – http://www.glamour.de/content/search/?SearchText=radiant inslab heating, fan coils, etc.). Ideally, the stream should be in the device time and time again to cure possible air problems.
What I found is the fact that most doctors do recommend running mid-air conditioning when allergies can be a problem, and many with the sites that I checked have comments from folks who say very positive things, for instance they sleep better and still have significantly less or no coughing and sneezing. Adding an air purifier generally seems to come in handy too of allergy sufferers, too.
Always keep objects out of your Houston air conditioner. Do not leave anything around it that could block air from flowing. Also, will not place furniture around an air conditioning grille where mid-air is blocked. Always check your filters and change them regularly. If not, they may collect dust and particles that could enter the environment in your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the oxygen at home may be worse than the oxygen outside. You need to do all you can to hold the oxygen in your house clean and particle-free. This is for your protection plus your family's.

Almond Piccolo - The Little Kitchen . Something a little different today...ventured over to the other side of the beach this morning to try a different cafe...I think this might be the 1st time I've been to a different cafe in Coogee for breakfast in 10 years. Anyway went and checked out the coffee/breakfast at The Little Kitchen (@thelittlekitchencoogee), pretty solid...might have to go back next weekend just to make sure the high standards weren't a one off. Friendly attentive staff, a solid Almond Piccolo, and a pretty damn tasty Poached Eggs bowl, not to mention my partners Salmon Scrambled Eggs which was pretty damn epic too. And now I'm off for my 15km run to Bondi, in another 1st, this will make it 80kms for the week and the knees/legs feel like they might just make the full distance. The weather is a little crappy today so hopefully that means the path and gym parks will be a little quieter than usual and I can knock this out with ease. . . . . . . #darnsmall . . . . . #Sydney #SydneyLife #SydneyBeaches #Coogee #CoogeeBeach #SydneyCoffee #SydneyCafe #SydneyCafes #SydneyEats #SydneyFoodies
The Wild Rover – Whisky Co-op . What are you up to this coming Monday eve in Sydney? Because once again one of my favourite monthly events is on...The Wild Rover's (@thewildrover_) Whisky Co-op is hosting a Bruichladdich (@bruichladdich) Whisky Tasting session. These tasting sessions have gone from strength to strength, over the years that I've been attending. This shot is from October's event with Ger Buckley (head cooper) which was one of the most amazing tastings I've ever been to. Watching someone take apart a barrel and then put it back together like it's a couple of blocks of lego was crazy epic. I'm not expecting the same from the Bruichladdich tasting, but my hopes are pretty high when anything from Islay is up for the tasting. I can't recommend The Wild Rover highly enough...without a doubt their Whisky Co-op has to be by far the best value for money whisky tasting event in Sydney...so good it should almost be illegal (I won't say that too loud, otherwise Casino Mike will make it illegal!). Plus it's just a an all round epic bar with a solid whisky selection, great cocktails, love the vego sausage rolls (if they still do them), great service...and all wrapped into a beautiful bar! . . . . . #darnsmall . . . . . #Jameson #IrishWhiskey #SydneyLocal #SydneyBars #SurryHills #ZomatoAus
Impromptu Portrait – Coogee Beach . Finally got around to shooting my Laphroaig bounty last night...now I can finally crack it open. After the shoot, me and my gorgeous gf @style.jee played around with the camera and lighting setup and she just happened to shoot a couple of great portraits of myself. So handy having a stunning partner who can model for me and then jump behind the camera and get some great shots...such a talent. I hate selfies, so having a partner who can take over the photographer role once in awhile is just tres epic. I'd like to dedicate this portrait to all those guys that keep DM'ing me the cheesy one liners...this one's for you kiddo ;) . . . . . . #darnsmall . . . . . #editorial #EditorialPhotography #SydneyFitness #Sydney #SydneyLife #Coogee #CoogeeBeach #GordonsBay

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Motorbike Show 2011
This is an event, where motorbike groups from all over Spain and further afield, congregate in the centre of town to compare engine sizes and generally show off how loud their bikes are. Then at around 11am, the mass of vehicles gather in a convoy through the town towards the beach, where Paella and beer is consumed and bike talk continues for the rest of the day.
Here's a taster of the day:
I this this boy is in practise, for when he is old enough to own the real thing!
I really look forward to the bike show and I think that this year's had more bikes than ever. It brings our town to life and I enjoy looking at the bikes and the people who own them. I'd also love to be able to join the convoy to the beach...
but I don't think that my scooter has enough power to make it....oh well...
5 comments:
A wonderful post! I love the ending ... and your scooter obviously enjoys posing!ReplyDelete
I love this! How cool that your town has this event. The green bike is awesomesauce. Girl, you've got to join the convoy! That sounds like fun.ReplyDelete
The post is lovely and funny. Thank you.ReplyDelete
What is Benvinguts? Sounds like a wine equivalent of a beer belly!ReplyDelete
(Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog - much appreciated.)
Thanks to all of you for the comments. I'm glad that you liked the photos.ReplyDelete
Aguja, yes I'm sure the scooter does like posing!
Melissa, the green bike is cool isn't it? It was airbrushed by a specialist airbrushing company. Also I'd love to find a way to be involved in the convoy, it would be great fun!
Olga, I'm glad that you enjoyed the post.
Deborah to answer your question, I think Benvinguts is Valenciano for 'Welcome'.

After the 8,100-TEU container ship MOL Comfort split in 2 and sank in the Indian Ocean off Yemen last month, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) withdrew her sister vessels from service to strengthen their hulls and now reassigns the MOL Courage on the LP1 loop from Singapore on 13th of August, 2013 and MOL Celebration on 15th of August.
The remaining 4 sister vessels, the MOL Competence, MOL Creation, MOL Charisma and MOL Commitment, are all going to remain at drydock until hull strenghtening is accomplished.
The fortified sister ships MOL Courage and MOL Celebration are going to take over from the MOL Competence on the Kobe-Singapore leg and MOL Gratitude is going to replace MOL Courage on Singapore leg.
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and ClassNK are continuing the investigation with preliminary findings due early September supported by Lloyd's Register. MOL stated it is going to compensate shippers that suffered a total loss based on contract requirements.
Background information for the MOL Comfort accident:
Due to bad weather it was impossible for the container ship to continue on, under its own power.
Some of the onboard containers on the MOL Confort were lost overboard or suffered damage during the accident. Details are being confirmed.

Have you ever asked yourself the following questions:
- Does my organization support and sustain a safety culture?
- What daily actions must be implemented to influence a true culture that embraces safety?
- How can I improve the communication of hazards and associated risk issues and concerns?
- Am I "wired" into the organization?
- Are my efforts of value?
- How should a Safety Management System Process look like?
- Where do I get the necessary information I need and how do I keep it readily available?
Parts of the Book
Part 1 – Laying the Foundation
Part 2 – Safety Management Systems Defined
Part 3 – How to Handle the Perception of Risk
Part 4 – Tools to Enhance Your Safety Management
Chapter 1, The Perception of Safety
The development and sustainment of an organization's safety culture requires a multidisciplinary approach that entails understanding the work environment, perceptions about safety, compliance, basic safety management systems, human error performance, communications, etc. For a safety culture to be developed and sustained, the leadership team and employees must change their perception about safety itself and the management system.
Chapter 2, Analyzing the Organizational Culture
An organization, whether public or private, large or small, must be constantly adjusting to its environment in order to meet a wide range of internal and external pressures and demands. To understand an organization's safety culture, you need to define how you want the safety management system to work within this environment of constant change. To establish a level of stability, a system of desired behaviors and beliefs must be developed that provides consistency in problem solving, decision-making and general relationships, and resilience to loss-producing events.
Chapter 3, Analyzing and Using Your Network
The importance of organizational networking in the development of an effective safety culture cannot be overstated. We are all part of a complex web of personal and professional networks. These networks establish how we send and receive information about ourselves, our environment, its issues, problems, and concerns as well as our successes and values. We use this information to establish how we function, operate, and become a part of organizations, families, communities, and social or professional groups.
Chapter 4, Setting the Direction for the Safety Culture
When trying to improve, develop, or ensure that the safety management system can be sustained, you have to develop a planning process that will move the organization forward. This planning process ranges from daily, weekly, and monthly activities to annual and multiyear planning. The overall big picture is to ensure that the safety culture is consistently maintained and that your safety management system is effective and efficient in the identification and control of hazards and associated risks.
Chapter 5, Overview of Basic Safety Management Systems
When you are in the beginning stage of developing and implementing a safety management system for your organization, communication is the key to success as. To get all employees involved, at all levels of the organization, the quality and depth of your network is crucial to ensuring your messages gets transmitted. Both the leadership team and employers will gain from a shared, collaborative effort and the system will be better as a result of everyone's involvement.
Chapter 6, Management Leadership: Demonstrating Commitment
According to Dan Petersen, safety results require support and behaviors from the entire organization, especially top management. While commitment starts with top management, it is necessary to get employees to participation to make the management system work. This is an indicator of the perception of how well the organization is working to create a safe work environment.
Chapter 7, Leadership and the Effective Safety Culture
When the word "leader" is heard, it immediately conveys an image of someone who is able to step to the front of a group, clearly communicate what he or she desires the group to do, inspires the group to do more than what is normally expected and get the group to achieve what others did not think was possible. Real Leaders are rare and leadership is something you know when you see it.
Chapter 8, Employee Involvement
For an effective safety culture, one of the core elements is employee involvement in the safety management system. As part of the leadership team, you do not have to solve all of your safety culture issues alone. Your organization already has great "built-in" resources available that may not be fully utilized as effectively as they should. These resources are your employees! If fully engaged, your employees can be your best problem-solvers as they are closest to the real and/or potential hazards and associated risk.
Chapter 9, Risk Perception - Defining How to Identify Personal Responsibility
An understanding of risk and its control must permeate your organization if an in-depth safety culture is to be sustained. A safety management system using only inspections and observations to identify hazards will not provide a full appreciation of the potential for injury and damage without linking the results to the potential risk.
As safety is an emergent property of all aspects of an organization, without constant focus on the potential changes in the organizations, the potential for loss producing events may have a way of slipping out of control. Too often the true scope of hazards and associated risk are only identified after a loss-producing event has occurred.
Chapter 10, Risk Management Principles
Risk Management is an essential element of a strong safety culture. Safety management systems such as ANSI Z10-2012 ("Occupational Health and Safety Systems, ANSI/AIHA Z10," 2012) have criteria for a risk assessment to be completed as part of the overall analysis of an organization. The concepts of risk management should be considered an essential part of the leadership team's decision making. All employees need a basic understanding of the terms risk, risk control and risk management if the organization's safety culture is to be sustained.
Chapter 11, Developing an Activity-Based Safety System
In the ideal safety culture, the leadership team is constantly communicating and emphasizing their vision, the goals and objectives it believes are required for the organization to be successful. A safety process is best implemented using a systematic approach that focuses efforts on key essential activities to drive improvement of communication, rapid feedback of issues and concerns, and improved coordination of safety activities.
Chapter 12, Developing the Job Hazard Analysis
The Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is the foundation for any successful safety management system. A safety culture can only exist when a full understanding of ongoing jobs, steps, and tasks are defined and the various hazards and associated risk are managed and controlled. As such, the JHA is an essential element in the assessing of the depth and scope of risk within the organization.
Chapter 13, Education and Training - Assessing Safety Training Needs
The safety culture and safety management system are supported by effective, comprehensive education and training. The culture of an organizational has a powerful influence over employee norms, habits, and behaviors as they complete their daily assignments and tasks. The strength of the underlying unconscious perceptions, thoughts, beliefs, etc., of the organization can override the best safety-related training designed to influence behavior.
Chapter 14, Assessing Your Safety Management System
A Safety Management System assessment provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the safety culture. The effectiveness of the safety management system should reflect the real values and beliefs of the organization. A structured and detailed assessment should provide specific details about potential gaps and opportunities for further improvement, not just in the safety management system but in your organization as well.
Chapter 15, Becoming a Curator for the Safety Management System
Throughout this book, a central theme has been the emphasis on communication and the flow of critical hazard and associated risk information through an organization. The safety culture is dependent on leadership and employees receiving and understanding the importance of maintaining open lines of communication, working towards reducing barriers and resistance to the message being sent.
Learn how to develop a Safety Culture that works! This book will change the way you think about the perception of safety forever.

Germany's foreign minister said Wednesday that Berlin, which came under fire from allies for its reticence during the Libyan uprising, is now ready to play a key role in rebuilding the country.
"Libya needs reconstruction to provide lasting stability for the country," Guido Westerwelle told the daily Passauer Neue Presse.
"Germany has experience and particular expertise in this area. We will stand by Libya with advice and assistance if it wishes."
Berlin offered a 100-million-euro ($144-million) loan to the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) Tuesday in its provisional capital, Benghazi, which Westerwelle said was aimed at "humanitarian and civil assistance".
Westerwelle insisted Germany had done its part in bringing about the apparently imminent end to Kadhafi's 42-year rule, although it refused to take part in military action in support of the rebels.
"We made our contribution to the upheaval using political means," he said. "The sanctions and international isolation played an important role. Kadhafi's regime was cut off from funds to replenish its coffers."
The UN Security Council in February adopted sanctions against Kadhafi and his closest associates, including a freezing of their assets and a travel ban, in response to a bloody crackdown against insurgents.
Westerwelle called Tuesday for a quick UN resolution to unblock the assets as a means of aiding the country's transition. Berlin estimates about 7.3 billion euros in Libyan assets are in Germany.
Germany, which has a non-permanent seat on the council, in March abstained in a vote authorising a Libya mission to shield civilians and enforce a no-fly zone.
It was the only European Union or NATO member to do so and provoked criticism from key allies including the United States and France.
Berlin even withdrew warships, refusing to let them participate in a NATO operation in the Mediterranean to enforce a UN-mandated arms embargo on Libya.
Gernot Erler, a leading deputy from the Social Democrats, Germany's strongest opposition party, called Westerwelle's remarks "embarrassing" and said Berlin would pay the diplomatic price for staying on the sidelines for a long time to come.
Without NATO military action in Libya, "the whole thing would have gone very differently," he said.

The NAD+ Precursor Nicotinamide Riboside Enhances Oxidative Metabolism and Protects against High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity
As NAD(+) is a rate-limiting cosubstrate for the sirtuin enzymes, its modulation is emerging as a valuable tool to regulate sirtuin function and, consequently, oxidative metabolism. In line with this premise, decreased activity of PARP-1 or CD38-both NAD(+) consumers increases NAD(+) bioavailability, resulting in SIRT1 activation and protection against metabolic disease. Here we evaluated whether similar effects could be achieved by increasing the supply of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a recently described natural NAD(+) precursor with the ability to increase NAD(+) levels, Sir2-dependent gene silencing, and replicative life span in yeast. We show that NR supplementation in mammalian cells and mouse tissues increases NAD(+) levels and activates SIRT1 and SIRT3, culminating in enhanced oxidative metabolism and protection against high-fat diet-induced metabolic abnormalities. Consequently, our results indicate that the natural vitamin NR could be used as a nutritional supplement to ameliorate metabolic and age-related disorders characterized by defective mitochondrial function.

Review for In Defense of Animals, San Rafael, CA, USA
When searching for an animal advocacy group who uses funding most efficiently, IDA was at the top of the list. We learned more about their effectiveness with animal causes as we continued to support this organization through donations and signing petitions. We share IDA with those we love in the form of gift memberships.

There's no better time than the week before the Academy Awards to catch up with Chris Dodd. The former senator from Connecticut, who has headed the Motion Picture Association of America since 2011, spoke to National Journal about his organization's push for strong intellectual-property protections in the ongoing Trans-Pacific and Atlantic trade talks, the health of the film industry, and whether relations between Silicon Valley and Hollywood are thawing out after a nasty fight over the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act. This interview has been edited and condensed.
On the health of the U.S. film industry.
There's about 40 million that watch [the Oscars] in the United States, but roughly a billion globally. There are other countries that make film; the fact that there are a billion people around the world watching the Oscars gives you an idea of the impact that this industry still has. Content defender: Chris Dodd (Chet Susslin)
On the battles to come.
The content-protection issue is still a major issue, and obviously with the emergence of [streaming] technologies and so forth it isn't just hard goods, where you get a DVD and make a copy. Breaking Bad, I think this last episode was stolen 900,000 times.
On the status of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks.
I'm a strong supporter of TPP. I'll grant you each week that goes by, having been through these processes in the past as a member of the Congress, it gets harder when you get closer to an election. But I'm still optimistic that they can get a Trade Promotion Authority bill and TPP can pass.
On a leaked draft of the TPP agreement being criticized for being a "Hollywood wish list," reflecting undue corporate lobbying influence.
First of all, it was all bracketed, and when things are bracketed in [an] agreement they're under negotiation. In fact, no one could tell me — or anyone else for that matter — when that draft actually was a draft. Drafts can change from day to day. Beyond that, I can't tell you what's happened since. Our view on this copyright, intellectual property is we don't want anything that would be inconsistent with U.S. law.
On whether MPAA sees a legislative response to piracy after the SOPA and PIPA fights.
We're not pushing for legislation at all. What we are doing is looking .at these memorandums of understanding with the [Internet service providers], with the advertisers, with the payment processors and ourselves. It's better to do it this way, in my view. You write the law and before the ink's dry, you could have technology just trump it.
On MPAA's criticism that Google hasn't done enough to stop piracy.
We deal with Google all the time and have business relationships with them. I always start the conversation by saying we need to do more ourselves in this business. Everybody is part of the ecosystem of the Internet and needs to figure out how in this world as it changes almost at warp speed, how can we all do a better job of providing legal content to people in a way that is accessible, and of a good quality.
On relations between Silicon Valley and Hollywood.
I think the more they get into content themselves, I suspect they'll become a little more jealous about protecting content. And again, our providing greater distribution services, providing content in a very accessible, timely fashion, I think, will help tremendously as well.
On whether he'll register as a lobbyist now that the two-year ban after his Senate service has passed.
Not necessarily. I wouldn't have any problem doing it. I just don't spend that much time lobbying — what is it, a 20 percent threshold or something? If I reach that point to do it, I'd be glad to do it. There's no particular reason to do or not to do it; it's just I'm not doing it that much.
On the public's view of Hollywood.
The correlation between appreciation of the product and appreciation of the industry don't line up. When you get to these debates and discussions about content protection and so forth, most people are thinking, what — stealing from Brad Pitt? How big a deal is that? It's not Brad Pitt — it's that guy behind that camera. It's the guy in that sound truck.
On his plans for the Academy Awards.
I'm a voting member of the Academy. My wife and I will go out next weekend for it. My favorite moment at the Oscars is when I'm in that black Town Car, and I arrive and they have these bleachers to the red carpet, and you get up and, I mean, the crowd's going crazy, and as the car stops and the crowd goes nuts, they roar, and then I open the door and I get out and it goes, "Awwwww." [Groans.] It's my favorite moment.

'They had so much talent' Two teen athletes killed by car while out running
TRIBUTES poured in for two teenage athletes killed by a car while training.
Lucy Pygott, 17, and Stacey Burrows, 16, were on a pedestrian crossing when they were hit.
A 24-year-old soldier has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drink-driving and causing death by careless driving.
Lucy was tipped for Olympic stardom and former world 10,000m champion Liz McColgan was among those to pay their respects to the girls.
The friends, members of Aldershot, Farnham and District Athletic Club, were knocked down near Aldershot Army base, Hants, on Tuesday night.
Lucy's family said in a statement: "Lucy was an absolute joy to us and we feel lucky that she has been part of our family for 17 years."
"We feel lucky that she has been part of our family for 17 years"Lucy's family
Fellow runner Alana Goddard said: "It wasn't until some people I know ran over and told me there had been a horrific accident and somebody had been hit by a car when it hit home.
"Stacey and Lucy both had so much talent."
Both went to sixth form college in Farnborough where a book of remembrance has been opened.
Lucy won bronze at the European Athletics Youth Championships in Tblisi, Georgia, this year.
Niels de Vos, chief of UK Athletics, said: "This is a tragedy which will be felt across the athletics community."

Carers come from all walks of life, all cultures and all religions. Some are only 10 years old while others are nearing 90. They may be spouses, parents, sons or daughters, siblings, friends, nieces or nephews or neighbours.
Approximately 2.7 million Australians provide help and support to a family member or friend - caring can happen to anyone, anytime.
People become carers in different ways.
Sometimes it happens gradually - helping out more and more as a person's health and independence get worse over time. It may also happen suddenly - after a health crisis (like a stroke or heart attack) or an accident.
It's not uncommon for carers to feel that they don't really have a choice. Even in large families the responsibility of providing care is often left to one person rather than being shared.
Many carers feel that it is what they should do.
Every care situation is different.
Some carers provide 24 hour nursing aid to a family member with high care needs. They help with daily needs and activities like feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, lifting and moving and administering medications.
Others care for people who are fairly independent but may need someone to keep an eye on them or help with them with tasks like banking, transport, shopping and housework.
Most carers give comfort, encouragement and reassurance to the person they care for, oversee their health and wellbeing, monitor their safety and help them stay as independent as possible.
Carers help their family members to have a good quality of life.
The word 'carer' can be confusing. Many carers don't use this word to describe themselves and it can sometimes be difficult to know whether we are the right organisation to help you.
We can help if you provide unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who is frail and elderly, has dementia, a mental illness, a disability, chronic illness or complex needs, or receives palliative care.
Contact our advisory line if you have any questions about our services or about other supports available to you.
The term 'carer' is often used to describe roles and activities that are different to the ones supported by Carers ACT.
We sometimes get contacted by people who mistakenly think that we provide services relating to these groups of people:
Paid carers or care workers
Paid a salary or hourly rate to look after people with care needs
Foster carers
People or families who volunteer to look after children and young people in their own home, usually because the young people are unable to live with their biological families
Parents and carers
Can describe anybody who lives with and looks after a child under 18
Kinship carers
Are relatives or close friends who look after children and young people who are unable to live with their families. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, a kinship carer may be another Indigenous person who is a member of their community

A short but fun visit, leaving everyone wanting more. More tennis, more food, more games, more shopping, more exploring. Guess that means they will just have to come back!
Texas weather provided a nice relief from the New England winter, though some may think a bit too much relief for November. We enjoyed 2 tennis matches (some more than others) and a visit to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, which are surprisingly large!
* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *
The highlight of the trip may have been seeing all the updates to 525 Silverado Trail, or perhaps visiting with the Jacob clan and bonding over delicious Cincinnati chili.
What's next?

Hello, I am Richard Ingate.
I work as a Writer, Lifecoach and Hypnotherapist and draw on my learning and experience of these fields as well as from Buddhism and the Three Principles understanding.
I work in particular with the theme of 'resilience', often in the context of stress at work and it is far more than teaching you a few techniques, this is about waking up to Life.
In the early 1990s I certified in NLP and hypnotherapy. I trained with Eric Robbie and Willie Monteiro, Tad James, Christina Hall to shamelessly drop a few names. Then I qualified as a hypnotherapist with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (gaining a distinction). Along the way I have upgraded my training with industry leaders such as Adam Eason (hypnotherapy), Ali Campbell (Coaching, NLP and 3 Principles) and Damian Mark Smyth (3 Principles) and Dicken Bettinger (3 principles).
In essence I believe we have innate qualities such as 'resilience' that tend to become more apparent when we learn to quieten down and reduce both the noise of our personal, habitual thinking, and belief in the reality of our own thinking. I have also seen through working with a cognitive behavioural approach that valuable mindset and skills can be 'ripened', learned and practised.
What we experience is always our thinking and feeling in the moment. I help people to wake up to what that means, and what it means changes and deepens as the journey continues.
Thank you for reading, and if this makes any kind of sense to you, please sign up for the newsletter before you go.

Bankers' tenderloin cuts rub salt in our wounds
They feasted as we listened to Brian Lenihan telling us we need to tighten our belts, writes Ronald Quinlan
FINDING the Government's €15bn in cuts difficult to digest? Then why not try grilled beef tenderloin topped with a rosemary crumb rich red wine jus?
That's the kind of cut bailed-out bankers prefer.
And it's precisely what they chose to sate their appetite last Thursday night at the Burlington Hotel, while ordinary taxpayers stayed at home and listened to Finance Minister Brian Lenihan sermonise on RTE's Prime Time that we are, once again, living beyond our means.

Texas coach Mack Brown has jumped on the bandwagon for a change in the Bowl Championship Series that would allow a conference to provide more than one at-large team.
Current BCS rules limit a conference to one at-large team per conference, but the Big 12 could potentially have three at-large teams that would merit consideration along with its champion.
"I've always thought the best teams should play at the end," said Brown, who campaigned his way into the Rose Bowl in 2004 after his team made a late-season charge. "It's more about winning than it is strength of schedule. This is a year where we've gotten better, but so have Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. This is totally unfair for a league that has some of the better teams in the country. I think we should have the eight or 10 best teams in the BCS."
