Appetite of fans for hurling success is still strong as ever
Well, what did we learn from Sunday's double-header in the excellent surrounds of Páirc Uí Shíocháin in Gorey?
Not a great deal if truth be told, certainly from the hurling anyway as U.C.D. fielded a weakened team which ensured that the game didn't even come remotely close to a contest at any stage.
Last year the Munster Council decided to leave the third level colleges out of their early-season competitions, and they are doing likewise in 2017.
Perhaps the time has come for Leinster to consider a similar move. These games will be a complete waste of energy for the counties unless they come up against full-strength sides, and it must have been a frustrating exercise for Davy Fitzgerald and his fellow mentors.
The fact of the matter is that more value would have been gleaned from an in-house 15 on 15 match among the panel, but that only became apparent with the benefit of hindsight.
What Sunday did underline is that the appetite for success among the Wexford hurling fraternity remains as strong as ever. They were out in force for this first game under the new management, with full use made of the impressive stand at the Naomh Eanna club grounds, a welcome addition since the last inter-county game played there which is a credit to all involved.
One disappointing aspect though was the noticeable thinning out of the crowd before the football game. In reality it has never been any other way in this county when a hurling match comes first on a double-header, but I expected more people to stay on and support Seamus McEnaney and his team.
After all, the weather was quite mild for the second Sunday in January, and there had been no value for money in the first 70 minutes as it wasn't a contest in any shape or form.
Despite that, there was a rush to the exit gates as the football teams warmed up, and it must have been demoralising for the players who still battled to the end and finished with a share of the spoils from a game that could have been won or lost by both sides.
By my calculations a total of ten marks were awarded, eight to Wexford starting with Tiarnan Rossiter's fetch in the eleventh minute.
This was followed by four for Daithí Waters, two for his midfield partner Colm Kehoe, and one for John Leacy.
From my recollection the recipient of the mark stayed static and took the free on all of the first five occasions before Leacy latched on to a U.C.D. kick-out and burst on regardless in the 48th minute.
I'm not sure if this was by accident or design, but I reckon that the rule will take some getting used to, simply because the natural reaction for all players is to stop when they hear the referee's whistle.
This seemed to be the case on Sunday as there was no great advantage to be accrued from coming to a halt on any of the occasions in question.
Then again, it may be advantageous to take the free when the player catches his own kick-out and therefore isn't facing towards the opposition's goal.
At least that gives him the opportunity to turn in the direction he wants to travel and pick out a colleague with a pass. The difference in Leacy's decision to drive on was that he was running on to a rival re-start and had their posts clearly in his sights.
Overall though, my opinion hasn't changed in the space of a week, as I feel the mark will be utterly redundant when the important games come around as there's still only a 50-50 chance at best of winning clean possession by pumping the ball past the 45-metre line.
The Gorey venue came in for high praise Sunday, and I was in another location all Wexford G.A.A. folk should be proud of 24 hours before when the combined schools romped to a 46-point victory over their Westmeath counterparts in the first round of the Leinster championship.
It certainly was a fruitful weekend for J.J. Doyle, a mentor with this team as well as the county Senior hurlers, as he witnessed a combined total of 17-48 from his charges. Dublin North will offer a far stiffer test for the schools side, but there's a lot of good coaching work going on at under-age level in the county and that was evident in the pleasing style of play deployed in this runaway win.

Switched on ship-power
04 Aug 2008
A Chinese post-panamax container vessel, the Xin Ya Zhou, has had a successful trial in connecting to shore-based Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) at the Port of Los Angeles in California.
AMP, or 'cold ironing', involves vessels turning off their engines while in port, and connecting to shore-side electricity, helping to reduce pollution in port areas and surrounding communities.
Cavotec, who engineered the connection, expects interest in AMP will continue to rise - fuelled by rising costs and environmental concerns.

Amazon WindowShop: When you're just looking
Spotted by TechCrunch: A beautiful new "window shopping" interface for Amazon. No search here; instead, you just wander the aisles, using either your arrow keys or by clicking and dragging. Big, bold panels for each book, DVD, game, etc., and expanding a panel launches audio and/or video previews. It reminds me a bit of the old Tower Records on Columbus in S.F., with its wall-sized posters for the latest albums. Will probably blog about this on Y! Tech tomorrow -- have to say, I like it a lot. Update: Apparently, WindowShop might be powered by a service called Cooliris, which I'd heard about before but never tried till today -- sleek, 3D "wall" interface that lets you browse news, videos, and online storefronts. There's also an iPhone version available.

How to replace the 26-375
A quick learner from Mesa az says:
September 15, 2015
How do you you replace pivot bar there are no screws to take it out is there a video on 26-375
Paul from SWISCO responded:
September 17, 2015
The 26-375 has a locking pin at the top of the pivot bar that needs to be disengaged so that you can remove it. If possible, I'd like to see the end view of the sash where this pivot bar sticks out so that I can give more specific advice.
A quick learner from Mess az says:
September 17, 2015
There are no screws on the window to take out the pivot bar now what help
Paul from SWISCO responded:
September 18, 2015
No, the 26-375 doesn't use screws. Like I said, there is a locking pin you have to disengage. Please show me a picture of the end view of the sash, where the pivot bar sticks out. I can help you further then.
A quick learner from Gilbert,az. says:
September 23, 2015
Hope you can tell me how get pin out
Paul from SWISCO responded:
September 24, 2015
Thank you for submitting your picture. Look at the 26-375 pivot bar you received. On the top is a small pin sticking out, that locks the tilt bar in the frame and keeps it from sliding out. You will need to unscrew the bottom rail of the sash itself and pull it away slightly from the glass so you can take out the pivot bar.

Excellent catches at Irish fishing festival
The second day of the 2008 Waterways Ireland Classic Fishing Festival was one of the best for many years, with excellent catches recorded on some of the better known coarse fishing sections on Lough Erne.
With weather conditions ranging from bright sunshine to heavy showers, and gusty winds on the more exposed stretches of shoreline, the 257 anglers experienced the 'Fermanagh climate' of four seasons in one day.
The top weight today was a spectacular 51kgs 200gms landed on a windy Trory section by English visitor Lee Harries, who nets £500 for his efforts.
Second overall was possibly the world's best known angler, Bob Nudd, who used his vast experience to extract 38kgs 640gms also from the Trory section.
Neil Mazurek from Cootehill finished third overall with 33kgs 900gms from the popular Ely Lodge section.
Wayne Truman from Nottingham completed the top four with 31kgs 260gms, also at Trory, a catch which elevated him to the overall lead in the competition.
Snapping at his heels however is Bob Nudd, a mere 20gms in arrears.
The race is, as is usual with the Classic, wide open going into the third and final day on Friday.
Tomorrow (Thursday) is the second day of the popular King of the Erne competition, which is run in conjunction with the Waterways Ireland Classic Fishing Festival.
The Classic is sponsored for the sixth year by Waterways Ireland and is organised by Fermanagh District Council in conjunction with the Inland Fisheries Division of the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure.
For further information please contact Aoife Morrissy, Waterways Ireland on 00 353 71 965 0622 or Eddie McGovern, Fermanagh District Council on 028 6632 3110.

"Cataract Operation"
About: Ashford Hospital Ashford Hospital Ashford TW15 3AA
Posted via NHS Choices
My Mother who is 82, had her second Cataract Operation a couple of weeks ago. I cannot praise the staff enough on both visits who were very professional, warm and caring. My only BIG disappointment was that on our second visit the rules had changed and I was not allowed to sit with my Mother like on the previous occasion in February. My Mother found this rather unsetling due to the fact that she is hard of hearing and was afraid she might not fully understand what was being said. Also, to wait for what can be a few hours depending on your allocated time slot, can feel awfully longer if you have no one with you. Being able to chat to your companion makes all the difference. The staff apologised for the disappointment and explained that it was the new rules. However, because the Eye Team, the procedure and follow-up visit were excellent, I still recommend this Hospital.
Response from Ashford Hospital 3 years ago
Dear Lynn Seager, Thank you very much for taking the time to post on NHS Choices and for your kind word about our staff in the department. As was explained to you this is a new policy which has just been brought in, which mirrors the policy on the main Day surgery unit at Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals. The new policy has been brought in as the eye ward at St Peter's Hospital is getting increasingly busy, so it has been decided that's its best that relatives drop the patients off and collect them after the surgery. The eye ward has general anaesthetic cases and local anaesthetic cases and we have to maintain privacy and dignity to all the patients. This is an open area so it is better to have this area as patients only. Having the relatives in the same area compromises this.

Reasons for The Growth of Online Casino
Majority of the population is not aware of the significance played by modern day card and board games on both history and the society. No one knew back then if online casino would become a big industry as it is now with many people inclined towards it. At the moment, there are many casinos, internet-oriented that are generating high levels of revenue. Figures are tipped to even escalate to greater levels due to the online growth and with online gambling gaining momentum in many countries. The online casino is known to bring more profits because of the advantages it brings. Online gambling has been able to experience growth because of the following explanations.
The ability of the online casino to use different monies has made many players from far and wide to share the same gaming room. Being able to accept several different currencies has removed the usual existing confusion of converting money to your preferred before a bet is made. The online gaming sites are multilingual, and therefore an individual does not have to face language barriers when enjoying the game. Online gambling sites support some of the world's most known languages and a gamer cannot be disappointed when enjoying the game. Actual money is used when playing in online casino as compared to other casino types that use items like chips to signify money being used. Unlike land casinos, online casinos encourage players to gamble far more money than expected.
An online casino also guides the player by showing either the amount lost or won in addition to their account balance. Free money is also offered in online casinos so that more customers are brought to play. Offering free casino chips is a nice way to make gamblers subscribe to online casinos. Online casinos do not dictate the dress code of the player. People do not have to worry about dress code because it is done in a computer-generated environment. Being able to look in whatever manner gives the gambler comfort and convenience.
An online casino does not need to seek the services of purchasing slot machines, employing dealers, gaming materials or security guards. Presently, all people especially the youngsters have become fond of this game, and every shopping mall has met their needs by creating a separate area for playing online. Playing online gambling makes you feel rejuvenated, and this makes you active again. Several casino games can wake up a tired mind, and they are excellent, but only for limited times. All the above-mentioned reasons can make the online casino gaming to grow to more higher levels as compared to its other competitors.

Best patio downtown? Check. Best happy hour in town? Check. Best offering of desserts? Check. Best nachos? Okay, them's fighting words and there's some real sluggers in Bozeman with knock-out nachos, but Starky's is a sure contender. Summing up Starky's in one word, I'd say "over-achiever." Kathy and Glen, the owners, are on site virtually every minute and their daughter Hannah has been managing the baked goods and desserts for years. All that family attention = all-star results.
If you're looking for... a serious challenger to that "best nachos" claim, we recommend the Bay Bar & Grill, located at the Gallatin Valley Mall. And Santa Fe Reds. And the Sacajawea Hotel out in Three Forks, but you have to ask the cooks nicely.
Prices: Happy hour offerings are screamin' deal, burgers are $10-$12, entrees $16-$20.

With that 'MUSKA 002' on the tongue, is Supra trying to tell us that Chad is as smooth as James Bond, or that they intend to extend the Skytop line into the triple digits?! We'd have to lean toward the former of those two, though the new Supra Skytop II in metallic gold patent leather is flashier than anything the MGM franchise character ever wore. They have a lightly pearlized finish that keeps the upper from blinding you, while black and white accents are pretty much the only thing stopping you from floating straight into the sun. Cop this small sample pair in US men's size 6, well in advance of their retail release from d_is_rolling on eBay.

LI terror suspect a mystery now to his family
Bryant Neal Vinas became a mystery to his family, rejecting the religion of his childhood in favor of Islam and finally disappearing abruptly almost two years ago. It wasn't until they learned of his arrest on terror charges that they knew where he'd been.
"The FBI asked me all kinds of questions about him, but they don't tell me nothing," his father, Juan Vinas, an engineer, told the Los Angeles Times, adding that he doesn't know where his son is. "I think so many times, is he in trouble?" he said. "I don't think he would be in trouble with, like, terrorists. I think he was in Pakistan because he was excited about the religion."
His parents, immigrants from Argentina and Peru, seemed to have lost track of him, literally and figuratively, in recent years as he began to reject the Catholicism they reared him on and express keen interest in Islam, according to The Los Angeles Times.
All the while, he withdrew physically from his father, whose home he shared in Patchogue, a drift that followed a migration years earlier from his mother, who lives in nearby Medford. He reportedly began spending more time away from home and more time at the Islamic Association of Long Island, in Selden.
The newspaper reported that Vinas once asked his father to convert to Islam.
His stepmother, Rosa Gutierrez, called Vinas "a good person, really. . . . He's really normal."

I know I could just activate it to her line and then just switch the phone over, but the problem is I have her phone isured. And I know when you change phones, the insurance is dropped. I'm not sure if I could just call them and add insurance back to a phone I bought four months ago. Thanks guys

MakeUp Tools is a beauty supply shop, they sold make up brush, eye lash, brush cleanser, brush book, brush holder etc. my top favorite product from MUT is their brush cleanser , the cleansing brush so amazing, you have to get this one, also the cleansing brush is cheap, they have two size in 50ml cost for 3 $ and 100ml only for 7$.
so a while ago Makeup tools, having a drawing for her customer who send or tag their picture of product the bought from MUT or using the product from them. i am a big fan of MUT. the best thing about MUT is that their service! the owner is Jenny who also run a blog here she is a sweet person, and she will answer all your question. so what i winning from them is a Voucher IDR 50.000 for purchasing any items on their website *except sleek product*, which is cool and i need some of their product at the moment.
so here's what i bought from them :
Eyelash mix box B. here's another cool thing they offer to us. they sold a lot eyelash there, mostly you buy 1 box which contains 10 pair of them. but like me sometimes i dont need that many lashes for one type. so their make a 3 type of mix box so you can have different eyelash in one box.
Brush Book, this might be the most wanted product on their website, it always out of stock. i waited this product about a month until they back in stock. they come with two color black and pink. this is the hard decision for me. i dont like pink but im bored with black, so i ask my friends which color i should buy, and most of them tell me to buy the pink, because black is so boring. and it;s true! so i decided to buy the pink one.
you might think the brush book is small if you see it from my picture, but in real life they look so BIG! yes BIG, i know this brush book is big, many people talk about it, but when i get mine i wash in shock! the brush book is bigger than i tought. the brush book price is IDR 150.000 or 16$.
i do really like the brush book, but it looks so plain for the cover, i have a project for that cover. i'll let you know what im going to do with that cover!
PS : if you want the brush book go ahead buy this! if you are outside from Indonesia, i think you still can get this brush book, just email them and ask about international shipping price!!

Did I ever mention how last year was the year of shoe destruction? I'm serious. My dogs ate at least three pairs and I lost a pair of Sperry's to significant mud-soakage. It was a sad loss, indeed.
I'm just coming to understand the love of shoes. Yes, it's taken me about 25 years to get here and now I finally get it. SHOES! Shoes are a glorious thing and something I am without more than a few pair of. I just want a pair in every color of every style. Is that too much to ask? [Hint: Yes]
So this new shoe love. I have a really small collection. This is probably why in the cold weather months, I live in my boots. I have a brown pair and a black pair, one for every outfit. So I'm set when the weather is cold. But for warm weather? Well after last year, I'm just left with two pairs of heels and a pair of orange sandals. Seen here. I need some new flats [this outfit was dying for a pair of red flats] and perhaps another pair of sandals and wedges and ankle boots for spring. Oh and new oxfords since those were one of the dog-destroyed pairs.
Moving on now..
This weekend was warm! Now, the 60 degree weather wouldn't dare be considered "warm" territory in Florida, but here? Oh it was sweet relief after a very cold winter. I will never complain about the cold [I'd rather be cold than sweating], but I have to say that I am quite excited about spring! The gorgeous warm weather just beckons us to be outside. I finally got to wear shorts outside when we went for a hike yesterday and those casper legs are a sad sight. They practically reflected the sunlight right off of them. The better to light up those new shoes my feet are hoping for. Ahem. Right?

"specially French DJ"
Pray tell, what is the difference between a French DJ and a DJ from, I don't know, any other country? Do French DJs shower less often, or complain more loudly about a lack of social programs?
Uh, okay. You didn't really answer my question...at all. What is the "French touch" that the "French dj bring"? Do you throw baguettes at people while they're dancing? Take an hour-long break for every 15 minutes you spend DJing?
On the one hand, I support you advertising that you're a French DJ, because French DJ's should let the rest of the world know they didn't make the cut to be in Birdy Nam Nam. On the other hand, what is with the continuing popularity of French DJ's?
I get German DJ's, and the Dutch, fine, DJ away, at least they're Lutheran about it. Who let the French be DJ's?

|From Flickr user Dennis Collette
Image is of a flock of birds in a "V" formation.
The other day I was working and was approached by an older gentleman. He seemed to be having trouble with our automatic self-checkout machine. As he spoke, he turned to the machine and finished his sentence facing it, so that I completely missed the entirety of his question. I asked him to repeat himself and please face me. He laughed, apologized, and said, "That bothers me so much, too, and I'm always asking people to face me. Sorry about that."
The other moment was just today. A man needed change for his $5 bill. I got him five ones out of the drawer and handed them over. As I sat back down again, he mumbled something like "four." I only saw four bills in his hand, so I thought I had given him the wrong change. I got up, got him another one dollar bill, and tried to hand it back, only to see he had the fifth dollar bill in his own hand and was trying to give it to me. He was actually saying "four quarters" but the second word was so muffled I couldn't hear it. He said, "Sorry! I can only hear out of one ear and I always think people can hear what I say but most of the time only I can hear what I say."
Neither of these people wore hearing aids or had any visual indicator of their hearing difficulties. I have pretty good "hearing aid (or cochlear implant)" radar - if somebody is wearing a hearing aid, chances are I will notice it, mostly because it is relevant to me and I'm aware of them. However, it made me think about the fact that I usually don't think about whether the person I'm speaking to may have some difficulty and not have any indication of it. It really highlighted to me the need to try to be clear myself. It probably was an eye opener for the two men I spoke to as well, since they both realized I had trouble hearing them.
Over the course of my job I have met a few people who use ASL or other forms of signing. I always like to meet these folks and try to talk to them a bit. I don't know anyone else who signs, so it helps me a lot. One of these people was extremely brusque and rude, even mean, rolling his eyes constantly and acting as though I didn't know what I was doing. This was years ago but I always wonder how he would have reacted if he knew I was pretty much in the same boat, just with hearing aids. I don't know if it would have changed anything.
What do you readers think? Do you often notice when other people are having difficulty hearing or do you rely on your "hearing aid radar" like I do? To me, moments like those above are nice reminders I am not alone and a lot of people can sympathize and even find humor in sometimes difficult situations.

I have gotten bites yesterday by a bug that I
Patient : I have gotten bites yesterday by a bug that I don't know and where i have the bite there is a huge tender to the touch red circle and i'm not sure how to treat it or if it is serious or not?
Doctor : HI, Thanks for your query and the picture. Noted the history of bite by an unknown bug/insect, itching, redness, t enderness, pain on long walk. Wants to know how to treat it and if it is serious or not. All these points indicate that there is a severe reaction, I would advise you the following in such a situation: -Take an anti-histamine like Cetirizine -You may need prescription based treatment such as Oral steroids as you do not know the bug that has caused this. -Try to restrict the movements as they may cause more spread of the allergen. -Keep under observations of the Doctor too as it helps any other additional treatment like antibiotic, incision or dressing if needed in the future. I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Training Course
6-11 June 2016 | Germany
This four-day training course provides practical support to facilitating learning in youth work activities, based on the concept of the Youthpass process.
The objectives of the training course are:
– To discuss the potential of learning in youth work;
– To help to raise young people's awareness of learning in youth work projects;
– To develop ideas and practice tools on how to support the learning process;
– To give practical support to document and formulate the learning outcomes.
These objectives will be addressed from the perspective of the participants themselves as learners, as well as in their role as facilitators of the learning processes of the young people they work with. Participants will explore and experience a wide variety of methods and tools around learning, reflection, peer-learning, competence development and formulating learning outcomes. We will look into the evidence about competence development in youth work; insights and ideas about how people learn will challenge us to rethink learning and the facilitation of learning.
The target group of the course
The target group of the course:
– Youth work practitioners (youth workers, mentors, trainers, etc., working with young people professionally or voluntarily), interested in developing the learning aspect of their work with young people;
– Able to use English as a working and learning language;
– Available to commit oneself to the whole duration of the training course.
For more information about this course, click here.

Have you accidentally shrunk a favorite piece of clothing? We have found a way that you can unshrink it ..you'll love this clever hack!
There are some things that are regularly searched on google every month. It seems we are all wanting to know the answers to similar things. For example how to fold a fitted sheet gets plenty of hits! Another thing that many seem keen to find out is how to unshrink clothes after they have been washed. If you are here, chances are you would love to know too!
We had absolutely no idea that this was even possible. The Blogger you will meet today was also skeptical but when her hubby shrunk her favorite Yoga Pants, she was a woman with a mission and now you can learn her findings!
Jill of 'One Good Thing By Jillee' has so many tips and tricks. We can't believe what we have learned from her over time.
We love her 4 Ingredient Miracle Whitener and this is another clever laundry hack! If you are ready to see her strut her stuff, keep scrolling for her video tutorial below ⇓
How to Unshrink Clothes via One Good Thing By Jillee
Jillee steps you through the process using one cap of Baby Shampoo and warm water. You will also need two towels and of course your shrunk garment. The Baby Shampoo actually relaxes the fibers which allow you to stretch the material. It will then regain its original form. Click Play above to watch ⇑
How To Unshrink Clothes via Who What Wear
We have seen a couple of different products that have been used for unshrinking clothes. The version above from Who What Wear uses Hair Conditioner. From what we have read, this works extremely well too. Continue scrolling our page to see the video tutorial that will show you the results. You will be so happy you discovered this clever trick!

Anquetta came good at Leicester last month but this looks a more competitive affair and the gelding will do well to follow up off a 10lb higher mark. Call Me A Legend quickened nicely off a strong pace to beat Moon Over Miami at Warwick last month but may struggle to confirm the form with the second on 9lb worse terms. Edgbriar may find this an insufficient test of stamina, but top weight Noble Alan can't be ignored as his Cheltenham fall was a rare lapse of concentration. RIGUEZ DANCER has been in good form this winter, however, and may still be on a decent mark. Ferdy Murphy's charge wasn't beaten far in a better race over C&D last month when 3lb 'wrong' in the weights and a repeat of that effort would probably suffice today.
Noble Alan (GER) 16-1 (10-6) Held up towards rear, steady headway 11th, diputed close up 4th and every chance when fell 3 out, in a race won by Poquelin (11-7) at Cheltenham 2m 5f Grade 3 hcp chs (4yo+) (1) gs in Dec, 16 ran.
Edgbriar (FR) 10-1 (11-5) Tracked leaders, ridden to challenge after 3 out, slow next, soon weakened, 5th of 11, 29l behind Tatenen (10-13) at Ascot 2m 5f hcp chs (2) gs in Jan.
King Edmund 8-1 (11-5) Chasing leader when hampered and led 2nd, headed after next, chased leader until 6th, pushed along and stayed well there until blundered badly sprawled and dropped rear 8th, not recover, tailed off, 7th of 8, well behind Woolcombe Folly (11-6) at Ascot 2m 1f hcp chs (2) gs in Nov.
Nomecheki (FR) 20-1 (10-13) Always behind, lost touch 5th, tailed off next, 14th of 16, well behind Art Professor (10-5) at Cheltenham 2m 1f hcp hdl (2) gs in Jan.
Call Me A Legend 11-8fav (11-4) Held up in rear, headway 7th, hit 3 out, led 2 out, hit last, driven clear flat, stayed on well, won at Warwick 2m hcp chs 0-135 (3) hvy in Jan beating Moon Over Miami (11-12) by 8l, 6 ran.
Moon Over Miami (GER) 8-1 (11-12) Held up in touch, headway 6th, led next, ridden and headed 2 out, disputing 2 lenghts 2nd when slighty hampered and rider lost iron briefly last, no extra, 2nd of 6, 8l behind Call Me A Legend (11-4) at Warwick 2m hcp chs 0-135 (3) hvy in Jan.
Riguez Dancer 8-1 (10-0) Mid-division, headway 8th, ridden approaching 2 out, stayed on under pressure flat, never quite able to challenge, 4th of 9, 5l behind Cornas (11-2) at Sandown 2m hcp chs (2) sft in Jan.
My Moment (IRE) 5-1 (10-12) Tracked leading pair, went 2nd 5 out, led next, mistake 3 out, hard pressed next, headed between last 2, 2 lengths down in 2nd and one pace when fell heavily last, in a race won by Stagecoach Pearl (11-7) at Haydock 2m hcp chs 0-140 (2) gs in Nov, 8 ran.
Anquetta (IRE) 5-1 (11-7) Tracked leaders, blundered 6th, challenging when not fluent 4 out, soon led, ridden after 2 out, swished tail and edged left flat, stayed on, won at Leicester 2m nov hcp chs 0-115 (4) gs in Jan beating Bedarra Boy (10-7) by 2 3/4l, 9 ran.
Blacktoft (USA) 16-1 (11-0) Hampered 1st and 2nd, tracked leader when mistake and unseated rider next, in a race won by Hold Fast (11-0) at Southwell 2m nov chs (4) gs in Jan, 4 ran.
Wessex King (IRE) 4-1 (11-8) Led, joined 4 out, headed narrowly but still every chance when blundered badly and unseated rider next, in a race won by Medermit (11-2) at Aintree 2m nov chs (3) gs in Oct, 3 ran.
Sambulando (FR) 66-1 (11-0) Led, headed 4 out, soon lost place, stayed on to go moderate 3rd 2 out, no chance with leading pair, 3rd of 7, 20l behind Nadiya De La Vega (10-8) at Kempton 2m nov chs (2) gs in Jan.

So although the Steady Shot nerf is still in place, Serpents' Swiftness has had its' pet damage coefficient raised back up to 20% in the latest patch, as reported by BRK and presumably other people. This should hopefully mean that BM is once more considered viable by the leaders of raids and pugs. ;-)
It also possibly means that it could be more viable again for a temp respec for Borean Tundra AoE leather farming for me, as well; in terms of hopefully increased pet threat generation. AoE farming with Volley used to be my main incentive for temp respeccing with BM, before 3.0.8.

Leave a comment and tell me if you read devotionals and why you'd like to win this one. If you want a second entry, let me know if you're a subscriber to my blog, or BECOME one, to get a second entry. Thank you!!!
"Be still and know that I am God" is one of the most beautiful verses from the Bible, but it's not easy to practice in this busy world. Mornings with Jesus will help you do just that "be still" in Jesus' beautiful and powerful presence.
For those who are seeking a deeper experience in their relationship with Christ, Mornings with Jesus (365 Days of Devotionals) offers a fresh perspective of who Jesus is (the Healer, the Son of God, the Comforter, the Good Shepherd) and what that means for day-to-day life.
With a warm and friendly voice, 365 short devotional writings on the character and teachings of Jesus encourage readers to greet each day by drawing near to Him and inviting His presence into their day.
Spend time with Jesus at the beginning of each day and experience His nearness and peace in a new way throughout the year. Read an excerpt.
I've been reading this book out loud with my husband and we're both really enjoying it. We've so loved the down-to-earth devotionals that touch pertinent parts of our lives. These speak to both men and women, and teens would find many of them valuable, as well.
One thing I've enjoyed is the variety of authors as they share their own thoughts on scriptures and day-to-day happenings. Judy Baer, Gwen Ford Faulkenberry, Tricia Goyer, Sharon Hinck, Keni Wyatt Kent, Erin Keeley Marshall, Camy Tang each bring their own flavor and voice to the book and make it a blessing to read.
I believe this book will minister to anyone in your family, young or old, and I encourage you to pick up a copy and keep by your bedside or on your breakfast table. It's an excellent way to start or end your day.

The last few days were sort of hard on me. Not getting into many details, I think I am having a sort of a mid-life crisis. I am (still) 35 for yet another month, so not sure if this is what it is but I definitely get frustrated / annoyed / irritated much easier these days. Ugh.. On one hand I want to blame cooler weather for it as I just hate being cold and I surely am dreading NYC winter. But on the other hand I know that's not really what's causing my 'blue' feeling.
After signing out of Facebook approximately 10 months ago (for these reasons) I signed back in. I had some of my work colleagues moving back to Australia (we are a very international bunch here at my office) and since keeping in touch via email with some of them is a bit challenging, I signed back into FB so we can stay connected. [I am also going to pledge at this time that I will not be using FB for more than 30 minutes a week considering that time waste was one of the main reasons why I put my account on hold last year in the first place!] Anyway, I signed back into Facebook and I had several new babies and puppies popping up on my screen in the first two minutes. Lots of new babies, count-down to babies, baby-wearing and breastfeeding pledges going on. Everyone from my FB feed seems to be either buying new homes, having a new baby or be on a constant vacation having times of their lives (or at least it seems like it judging by the photos).
And me? Well, I feel a bit 'all over the place' as of 2015. Sort of at a crossroads, one may say. While I do count my blessings, or at least I want to stay aware of them (and there are plenty of them!) I have not been as 'present' as I would want myself to be. My mind has been racing hundred miles an hour planning, researching, calculating and pondering about the future. I've had the last few weeks just fly by me, Monday through Friday, weekend, Monday through Friday, weekend.
Just yesterday I was rushing to pick up lunch for my busy boss, making my walk just a few minutes longer to say hello to Doug. I mentioned Doug briefly in one of my previous posts. Doug is a homeless man 'residing' in SoHo area in Manhattan, just around a corner from my office. Doug blends in with the scenery, if you walk the same street every day, you can easily miss him. Or not. Doug is the sweetest, little man, humble, smart and funny. Doug is grateful for a sunny day (so his shoes don't get wet), he is grateful for a pair of socks or a book. Doug is happiest though when someone stops by and talks to him. In the busiest day, if I am around, I am making it a point to spare a few minutes and kneel down or sit next to Doug to check how he is doing.
For the longest time Doug would tell me how he cannot wait until he can get his benefits at 65, to get a cheap room somewhere, to have his own bed, to get his ID. A certain lovely lady, who also befriended Doug, and who also happens to be a social worker, had been working hard until 2 days ago Doug received his Medicare card. A card with his name and his picture. A proof that he 'exists' as he says it. Doug is finally receiving his Social Security Benefits this November, he is still homeless but hopefully by December this will change. I felt quite down and grumpy the whole week but all of Doug's updates truly put everything into perspective. I am blessed with everything that Doug has been wanting for the last 10 years. What I already have (and what sometime I miss to be grateful for) is all that he has been dreaming about. And I am so happy for him.
Life is full of unexpected blessings. It may just be a matter of being more patient and humble while continuing to be kind to others (and yourself).
What are YOUR blessings this week?

a winner... and sorting it all out.
As for the sorting it all out. I am overwhelmed by some stuff happening here at our house. I won't bore you with the details, but I just feel a little out of control. It probably doesn't help that I've been spending my sewing time doing a lot of not-so-exciting commissioned stuff & prepping for my next craft show, not creating brand new stuff. I am always happier when I can create, not just produce. There's definitely a difference for me!
I read Mary Anne's post today and it just really hit me. I try and roll with the punches - I try to be a mellow mom. I have two grandmas nearby who don't work outside the home & are willing to spend time with my kids during the weekdays when I'm stressed about getting sewing jobs done. My house doesn't have to be spotless. My husband mops! (and an assortment of other REALLY helpful wonderful supportive things)
However, I still have things I'd like to work on...
-more one-pot meals. Unfortunately, I'm not much of cook anyway & don't really like my foods all mixed together. But it sure would make life easier!
-streamline the errands/ stores/ outings. My kids like hanging out at home (which hasn't always been true for my son). I should let them enjoy their toys, playing together, etc. more often.
-better solution to the fighting over toys problem. Unfortunately, Abby's a little young to understand the don't fight or it goes away rule that Mary Anne uses.
How do you keep it together??!!!! Please, any tips would be great!
A couple other things to look forward to... I'll be posting some new projects soon, looking forward to family time over the Thanksgiving weekend, and I'll be participating in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway December 2nd.
See you all again soon!!

How does that happen?! I'm the only person who entered?
I guess that's a good thing for me, right? Thanks so much, I'll check my email and reply soon!

Having 4 kids under 7, a fulltime job, a husband who works nights, and a love of scrapbooking...I can speak to being stressed....Put on your shoes and take a walk to clear your head. The mess will be there! The best tool I have to use is a timer....set it for 10-15 minutes and work like mad. It's amazing what you can do in a short amount of time when you know it will beep soon...it usually gets me going and then I can keep going!
Take care and good luck...the mess will be there in the morning!

Wow, I can't believe you only had one entry into your giveaway! I didn't enter because you've already given me such nice things, I thought someone else should get a turn. I didn't think the entries you were asking for were at all complicated. I bet you will get a ton of entries into your Sew Mama Sew giveaway, and I can't wait to see your other new projects!
My fighting over toys rule only works because, in our house, Emma is the one who is possessive about toys and she is old enough to understand that rule. My sister puts toys that are fought over into time out and I did that when Emma was younger. It stopped working because she decided that she would rather have all the toys in time out than to let Johnny use them, but it might work for your two kids?
Emma didn't like being home at all until Johnny got old enough to play - maybe it's something kids with siblings like? I think November and December easily become overwhelming months for moms - there's so much holiday prep and it's frequently too cold for kids to play outside.

Annual Review of Graduate Student Progress
The Graduate School requires all master's, education specialist and doctoral students to submit an annual report of academic progress.
The Graduate Student Progress System (GSPS) is a Web-based reporting system through which students document their progress toward degree completion. All graduate students are required to submit annual progress reports by establishing or updating a GSPS record. Faculty members use the GSPS to review students' annual reports, assess their progress and provide feedback.
At a minimum, the Graduate School requires students to report on academic progress, completion of required forms, awards and honors, conferences, presentations, publications, service activities, creative activities, funding activities, employment and job placement. Academic program faculty or administrators may require additional indicators of performance or achievement to accommodate the needs of their programs. Students must complete GSPS sections as required by both the Graduate School and each academic program.
Graduate student progress
Satisfactory progress
The definition of satisfactory progress and procedures for verifying satisfactory progress may vary among departments and programs. Each department/program should have a written definition on file in the Graduate School.
