Michael "Mick" Carter made his first appearance on the 25th December 2013 and he is the long term partner and husband of Linda Carter and the father of Lee, Nancy Johnny and Ollie Carter. As of 1 January 2016, Mick has appeared in 294 episodes, so far.
Mick came in one night and Mick had been at the football and was drunk. Linda was annoyed and was already in bed, Mick goes into the kitchen and its was a mess with papers everywhere. Mick had an idea tidying it all up, so there was less aggravation in the morning. Mick cleared the table and took the bins out. Mick then went to bed, Mick found out the next morning it wasn't mess it was paper work insurance forms, bank statements, receipts. Linda had been sort all the paper work out all of the previous day so she could file it all the next morning. Amongst all the paperwork was a card that Nancy Carter had made Linda in school that week. Linda was really annoyed at Mick and got him outside not to look for the paperwork but for Nancy's card. It took Mick an hour and a half to find the card as he had to go through a week's worth of pub waste.
Janine Butcher was initially going to buy The Queen Victoria off Phil Mitchell, but she couldn't get the cash after David Wicks taped her confessing to murdering Michael Moon and David took her money for Carol Jackson, who could have cancer. Phil calls Mick to ask if he's still interested in buying the pub and if so, if he can get the money to him within 15 minutes, he's got himself a deal. Mick says that's a push, but he'll try, however he's already in The Vic. Mick meets up with Phil and gives him the cash and Phil gives him the keys to the pub. On Boxing Day 2013, Mick along with Linda, Johnny and Lady Di arrive in Walford after they bought Queen Vic. When Phil is kicking everyone out, Phil is confused to how Mick knows Shirley and Shirley reveals to Mick that Phil is her brother. The following morning, the day when Mick and Linda are suppose to open for the first time, Linda looks out of the window and sees Tina and Shirley at the door with their belongings and Mick tells her they're moving in and Linda has objections to Shirley moving in, but is fine with Tina. Mick explains to Linda that his sisters are important to him and Linda says the deal is that the minute things go wrong, he needs to step up. Mick and Linda encounter a problem when Mick realizes they haven't got any beer and Tina says they are almost out of snacks and spirits. Shirley informs them that Kat and Alfie Moon had a deal on, which was a £1 a drink and Mick and Linda wonder if Shirley can get stuff from the soup kitchen on tick, but Shirley packed in the job. Linda isn't pleased with Shirley and she tells Mick to step up. Mick tells Linda to go and speak to Lee whilst he and Shirley sort the situation out. Mick heads to the cafe with Shirley to speak to Kat and Alfie to see if they can get some stock or have contacts, but they say they are out of all that now.
When the Carters discover that The Vic has a problem with rising damp, Tina convinces Mick and Shirley to visit their father, Stan Carter, who they have a less than amicable relationship with after he left the Carter children in care. After Stan suffers a fall, Linda persuades Mick to check on Stan. Mick discovers there has been a break in and disturbs the thief, who punches him and flees. Mick suspects that it was his son Lee Carter, who may have run away from serving in the army in Afghanistan. Mick visits Stan in the hospital and enquires about Lee, and Stan assures him that he has not seen Lee. Mick leaves the hospital angry after Stan asks to stay at The Vic, but Tina is angry to find out that Stan is in hospital and Mick has not told her. Tina brings Stan to The Vic to stay for three weeks. Mick reluctantly agrees and is further angered when Stan makes derogatory comments about both Tina and Johnny's homosexuality and about the dangers faced by Lee in the army. Stan also tells Mick about a time when his mother tried to drown him in the bath when he was an infant.
Mick and Stan's relationship starts to thaw, annoying Shirley. Mick attempts to reunite Shirley with her estranged son, Dean Wicks, with little success. Tina refers to the incident involving a young Mick in the bathtub, citing the event as happening after their mother left. This confuses Mick, and he concludes that it was Stan who tried to kill him and attacks him, prompting Shirley to admit that she had attempted to drown him. Phil Mitchell finds out from Shirley that Mick is actually her son, his father is a man named Andy and her mother Sylvie Carter concealed the pregnancy and brought Mick up as her and Stan's son. Shirley warns Phil not to tell Mick. Despite not being able to swim and having a phobia of water, Mick signs up to a sponsored swim in aid of his friend Billy Mitchell's young daughter, Janet Mitchell, who has Down's syndrome. He starts to learn at the local swimming pool, and confesses his fear to his friend, Ian Beale. Ian helps him overcome this fear and he makes progress. Linda tells Mick she wants another baby after she realises her children are too old to require her constant attention. Mick convinces Linda that this is not a good idea, but proposes to her, as they are not actually married, though their families think they are. Linda turns down the proposal, liking things as they are, and then she finds out that Dean has overheard this conversation.
Mick successfully completes his swim for charity, but on his way home, he sees Ian talking to Rainie Cross through the window of Ian's car. Mick pulls up behind them but Ian drives away, so Rainie, a prostitute, propositions Mick. He says he is not interested, and then the police arrive. Rainie claims Mick is a regular punter, so he is arrested for soliciting. Later, Ian explains that he had sex with Rainie on the night his daughter Lucy Beale was murdered, so Mick agrees not to tell anyone, though he is forced to tell Linda when she receives a call from his solicitor. Cora Cross overhears this and supports Linda at the court. Mick pleads guilty, and Cora discovers that the prostitute is her daughter. She reveals Mick's alleged crime to everyone in The Vic. Linda hates that Mick has put Ian before his own family, so Mick resolves to make Ian tell the truth to his partner Denise Fox.
Mick is upset when Shirley leaves Walford after accidentally shooting Phil. Linda becomes cold towards him and refuses to have sex; Mick deduces that she is pregnant. She denies this, but he discovers Linda is pregnant and is planning to have a secret abortion. After a discussion, they agree to keep the baby. Stan reveals he has terminal prostate cancer, leading Mick to enlist Dean's help in tracking down Shirley to try and convince her to return. They find her staying in a caravan with Buster Briggs and she soon returns. Mick and Shirley find that Shirley and Tina's mother, Sylvie, is staying with her sister Babe Smith. Babe reveals that Sylvie has Alzheimer's disease.
Mick plans to propose to Linda, but Linda reveals to Mick that Dean raped her. Dean claims that he and Linda had an affair, so Mick attacks Dean. To stop the attack, Shirley reveals that Dean and Mick are brothers and she is Mick's mother, and it emerges that Buster is Mick's father. Linda claims that their relationship can survive as long as nobody else finds out that she was raped. She eavesdrops while Mick, Tina, Shirley, Babe and Stan argue, only to hear Mick deny that Dean is part of the family. Mick tells Stan and Tina that Dean raped Linda. When he realises Linda has left, a despairing and devastated Mick smashes up the bar. Mick and Linda later report the rape to the police. When Mick learns that Shirley was forced to keep the secret of being his mother out of fear that she would never see him again, he decides to give her another chance, as long as Dean keeps his distance from him. He is shocked to learn that Stan wants him and Tina to help him die and stops Tina from doing so. The next week, Dean is arrested and released on bail. He refuses to leave Walford on Shirley's insistence until Mick orders him to.
Dean returns and sneaks into the pub's cellar, intending to set fire to it, and taking Nancy hostage. Mick stops him and chokes him until he is unconscious, but Dean goes missing after this. Linda proposes to Mick and he accepts. Nancy believes Mick has killed Dean, until Dean returns on 3 April (Good Friday). Linda gives birth prematurely to Ollie Carter after falling down the stairs. Dean believes the baby is his until Mick discovers he, Linda and Ollie share the same blood group, but Dean's is different, meaning Dean cannot be Ollie's father. Mick and Buster then start to bond. Mick and Linda bring Ollie home, where Mick ejects Dean after he attempts to shake Linda's hand.
In September 2015, Mick arranges with Elaine to take Linda away from Walford as it was coming up to 1 year since Dean raped her and he wanted her away at the difficult time, Linda came home early just as Mick was going to go on holiday with them as Nancy had a seizure. Elaine comes back a few days later with her fiancé Jason where he has to explain to Mick and Linda what he sees in Elaine. That same night Mick and Linda heard a bang from downstairs as they go down they see Jason with nothing on as they say that Elaine can come out as they turned their back as they turn round it wasn't Elaine in the kitchen with him as it was Babe.

Customer Benchmarking Motivates Action
By Ed Powers
Electric utility companies promoting power conservation programs discovered that simply informing consumers of their electricity usage relative to neighbors lowered overall consumption. This type of normative social comparison has produced the same effects in other domains. Why does this work? How can the idea be used in Customer Success?
Keeping up with the Joneses
Homeowners typically receive letters from the power company showing how many kilowatt hours they've used over the past month compared with other homes in the vicinity. In addition to bar charts, consumers see a "smiley face" if they're doing well or a "frowny face" if they're trailing the average. The mailers typically also include a list of recommendations for conserving energy.
Surprisingly, this simple trick works. People change their behaviors when they see how they stack up against others. In multiple experiments run by the utility companies, providing benchmarks reduced overall power usage 2%.1 That may not sound like much, but across millions of homes the savings are substantial, helping power companies meet their government-mandated conservation goals. Similar outcomes from communicating descriptive norms have been shown in hospitality (reusing towels more often),2 voting (increasing turnout),3 and charitable giving (boosting the number of donors).4
What causes this behavior? Neuroscientist David Rock says subconscious social drivers are hardwired into our brains after eons of evolution.5 One primary driver is status, how we view ourselves in the "pecking order." Social bearing means survival-whether it's humans, birds, or wildebeest, members at the apex of the hierarchy are more likely to continue living and pass along genetic information. To aid our preservation, we reflexively perceive higher status as a reward and lower status as a threat. As a result, we savor outranking others and become anxious when we fall short.
Seeing rank expressed in numbers may increase the urgency to act. Neuroscientists have found that the brain uses the same circuitry to process number comparisons as it does to determine social status.6 The findings suggest we subconsciously use numbers to record social rank, and seeing status expressed numerically activates overlapping neural networks that may add fuel to our emotional response. Whenever emotions are strong, decisions and actions tend to follow.
Better business reviews
Many Customer Success Managers (CSMs) at Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies conduct Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with senior executives at key accounts. Customers derive business value from deploying and using software, so a common objective is to ensure implementation milestones and adoption goals are met. Executive engagement and attendance at QBRs, however, is a chronic problem. Often CSMs do a poor job of describing how the software subscription impacts things like organizational productivity and decision making, but other times they simply fail to capture the attention of senior leaders.
Showing comparative data can help. Besides demonstrating progress vs. the customer's goals, showing results relative to the customer's own peer groups has greater impact. Executives are usually competitive people. When they see their organization is ahead of the pack, the fact suddenly becomes a talking point with their own bosses. When they see progress is behind the curve, they are more likely to push subordinates and make things happen. Sharing the tidbit garners increased attention and raises CSM status in the eyes of executives. "Information is power" is also true among top managers, and good intelligence is always appreciated.
The approach works at scale, too. Like the power company, automatically communicating descriptive social norms can move the needle in large populations of small customers. When SaaS companies show individual performance relative to benchmarks via tailored e-mails and in-product messages, they can influence behaviors in mass audiences without the need for personal contact. A simple change in how data are communicated can bump customer usage as well as CSM productivity.
New automation tools make the process much easier. OnlyBoth's benchmarking engine uses artificial intelligence to automatically uncover readable, motivating, action-provoking insights and customer comparisons. CSMs can use this novel intelligence to nudge customers toward greater success during business reviews and for routine, personalized e-mail communications campaigns.
We're naturally wired to compare ourselves with others. SaaS companies can easily capitalize on this basic human nature. And that would place them ahead of the pack.

About Me
Hi, I'm Juci (~Yootsie), originally from Budapest, Hungary, now living in London for a few years to get my PhD and to finally spend some time in this awesome city! I'm studying how the mind works, my hobbies mainly involve theatre, surfing the net and making conversations with strangers.
I like smelling books, wondering of what people are daydreaming about on the bus and learning about foreign words and habits. What else? I like good night messages, unexpected parties, good food and dancing on the street. Getting lost in the nature, getting lost in the city. Finding new routes to fulfill dreams. The aim is to always look for adventures and challenges, keep going and improving day by day.
After discovering this crazy but awesome world, maybe I'll settle down in my hometown, but who knows.. Right now it's all about exploring.
some of my favourite qoutes:
"Play is the highest form of research." - Albert Einstein
"And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it's all in my mind." — Jack Kerouac
"Always do what you are afraid to do." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm doing both hosting and surfing.
The first was in Berlin. Then came Denmark & Sweden. After those Austria & Germany, too. These were really eye-opening and funny experiences for me. I've learned a lot about tolerance and changing of perspectives.

Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy open policies: I'm sharing food, couch and stories with other people. May look like benevolence but really is just bait to come close, so I can watch and learn :) I can never get bored when people tell me how they create or build something new.
I'm tutoring people, organizing events and trying to understand how our wonderful species works: with biological, philosophical and psychological approach.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing your story, learning new recipes and having nice conversations.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can teach you superb Hungarian swearings, how to act without thought and mix spices you'd never imagine would taste good together. I can help out around the household, go grocery shopping or share a bottle of good wine with my host.
I also hope to share some laughter, wisdom learned during my short life and great experiences! I am looking forward to talking about books, series, theatre or really about anything. The weird guy at your work place, what your friends complain on FB about, and where do you go hiking.
Countries I've Visited
Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
Countries I've Lived In

Online information booklet outlining disability rights as per the ADA, with topics including accommodation and employment.
This 28-page booklet is designed to provide military service members who have been seriously wounded in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom a basic understanding of their rights under the ADA and where to turn for additional information and assistance.
Maybe you have been seriously injured while serving in the U.S. Military, perhaps you've lost a limb, sustained a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, sustained hearing or vision loss, or are experiencing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and now you're back in the States trying to adjust to living with your injury. This online publication explains your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provides information on where to get assistance.
For instance, did you know:
Businesses must communicate effectively with customers who have vision, hearing, or speech disabilities. The businesses, not the customers, are responsible for providing the tools or services that are needed for "effective communication."
Employers must make "reasonable accommodations" for employees with disabilities, which means changing the work environment or job duties to eliminate barriers that keep an individual from being able to perform the essential functions of the job.
The booklet covers topics such as accommodation, employment, and knowing your rights as a veteran with disabilities under the ADA - www.ada.gov/servicemembers_adainfo.html
Loan Information for low income singles, families, seniors and disabled. Includes home, vehicle and personal loans.

When VW offers a "sano" Candy-White Jetta SportWagen TDI for a week-long test, should you sign up? Yes!
The TDI badge means there's a 2.0-liter, 140-hp, turbocharged diesel engine under the hood. Mate that mill to a slick six-speed manual transmission, send it down the road on wide 17-inch Michelin Pilot donuts and you'll discover that this eco Wagen isn't a rolling oxymoron. It delivers so much gusto that I believe VW spokesman Sean Maynard, who claims 50% of Jetta wagon buyers fly TDI.
Here's the evidence: My first day's commute bumped the trip computers readout to 45 mpg. My second day netted 42. Then the weather turned chilly. Fuel economy dropped to 37-39. After a week of back-road romps, flat-out hill climbs, and cloverleaf charges, the cars computer indicated 41 mpg overall, I measured 40. That's about 11 mpg more than the five-cylinder, five-speed manual, gas-fired SportWagen I drove last year. And diesel fuel, at press time, was nearly 15% cheaper than regular, so my tab for more than 340 miles came to $19. Tank range: nearly 600 miles.
But there's more to this economy-champ story than mpg. What makes it compelling is its performance. Start the engine and you'll hear some low-pitch grunts. After mastering clutch engagement (it's easy to stall), you're off. Under most driving conditions, this engine is actually quieter than the gas Jetta. Gear ratios keep the engine RPM up where it's responsive--1,800. You can lug it if you want truck-like growl; there's 236 lb-ft of lusty torque! If you rev the engine to redline, there's an interesting rat-tat-tat bark. Diesel exhaust odor and soot are conspicuously absent.
In motion, the SportWagen earns its pedigree. Its steering is accurate, well weighted and easily holds one's path. Body roll is modest and the Michelin tires grip--fun! Unlike most hybrids, which must gingerly traverse flawed roads, the TDI is unfazed. Unfortunately, the low-profile tires thump excessively on choppy expressway expansion joins--emitting sounds only those who bowl Brunswick think entertaining.
Inside each Jetta, there's a nicely finished interior. Door panels and the B-pillar are scalloped, increasing elbowroom. Lots of unseen extras add up to an accomplished compact--for instance, there are wide rear floor heater outlets, rear face-level vents and a nearby 120-volt AC outlet, too. The flexible cargo floor is practical.
Radio and navigation controls were simple. The optional panoramic sunroof offers an expansive overhead skylight but its retractable shade reduces rear headroom.
Sportwagens are well equipped. Base price is about $24,500. With fancy roof, fat wheels and navigation price climbs to more than $28,000. There's a $1,300 green-car federal tax credit.
Not cheap, but you'll save each time you fill up.

Beetles baseball: Alexandria tries to overcome early pitching woes
Sunday's 12-11 win over the St. Cloud Sox epitomized the type of games that the Alexandria Beetles have had to try to win so far this summer.
The Beetles scored their 12 runs on 10 hits. They took a 12-6 lead into the ninth inning before having to sweat out a one-run win as 2011 all-star closer Anthony Bazzani came on to pick up the final two outs to earn the save. It's a Beetles' offense that has averaged more than six runs a night through their first 25 games.
Where Alexandria has struggled has been from the mound. The Beetles entered Monday with a Northwoods League worst 189 runs allowed and a team ERA of 6.54. That has made wins difficult to come by as Alexandria found itself 9-16 after the win on Sunday and 9.5 games back of first-place Mankato in the North.
Injuries and being short on arms because of the College World Series has played a role in that. Nick Berhel (USC) and Andrew Busby (Mississippi State) both suffered minor injuries this summer and Brandon Johnson isn't in town yet after helping Florida State University make a deep run into the College World Series.
The good news is those arms should be at the Beetles' disposal pretty soon. Berhel and Busby were both expected back this week after throwing without any problems last weekend. Johnson will also be in Alexandria to start the second half after posting a 2.87 ERA in 16 appearances for the Seminoles this past season.
"He'll be in our starting rotation," Beetles' head coach Drew Saberhagen said. "A left-handed pitcher, 87-88 with some big breaking stuff. He could be a difference maker."
The Beetles have just been trying to find the right spots for guys through the first month of the season. Mitchel Babb (Meridian Community College) relieved starter Shawn Riesgraf (St. Cloud State) to start the sixth inning against St. Cloud and threw three scoreless innings before running into trouble in the ninth.
Babb gave up a three-run home run to Andy Henkemeyer. A hit batter and a walk followed before Saberhagen reluctantly brought in Bazzani to get the final two outs.
"I think Mitchel Babb was outstanding today," Saberhagen said. "He ran into a little bit of trouble in the ninth, but that's probably as high as his pitch count has been all year. I just didn't want to use Bazzani. We're a little thin right now. We're getting two pitchers back (Berhel and Busby), hopefully this week, so our bullpen will be back."
Bazzani threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in an 8-7 loss to Mankato the night before. He gave up a two-run double to The Rox' Chris Paul but got Jamie Simpson to strike out swinging for the final out on Sunday.
The offense was able to pick up the Beetles' pitching staff with three four-run innings against St. Cloud. The top of the order set the tone as Tanner Vavra (Valparaiso), Dylan Raper (Oklahoma) and Ben Moore (Alabama) combined for six hits, eight RBIs and four runs scored.
"You look up and we're scoring six to 12 runs a game and putting up 10-15 hits a game," Saberhagen said. "You got to be pretty happy with the offense. Especially in our park, with the left-handed bats we run up there, we're one swing away all the time."
The Beetles will try to ride that offense until they can get their pitching staff a little more in order. Alexandria finished fourth in the first half last season with a 16-14 record before going 28-11 in the second half.
The Beetles believe they can follow that same approach this season. The key is getting healthy and getting the arms into town that can help boost a struggling rotation.
"It will smooth itself out," Vavra said. "We still have a couple of kids coming in from the World Series so I think we're really going to turn things around in the second half. I think we're going to be a tough team to play."

SEN. RAND PAUL (R), KENTUCKY: And it's important that the president realized that he's restrained by the Constitution also. So we got talking about something we were interested in and you never know whether people are watching or not, but you want the issue to be big because we want the president to respond. And what we're hearing from the White House this morning is they may respond to my question. And if we do, we're willing to let the Brennan nomination go forward.
DANA BASH, CNN CHIEF CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: And talk more about that. When you said you heard from the White House, who and what did they say?
PAUL: I don't actually have the name of who, but somebody on my staff and other Republican staff are talking to the White House. And I'm hoping there will be a response.
I've never really doubted that maybe the president and I are on the same page, but some things need to be explicit. And the one thing that I think needs to be explicit is that this drone killing or targeting program, that you can't target Americans who aren't engaged in combat. We've never questioned that if you have a grenade launcher on your back and you're attacking the Capitol, you can be killed without due process. I'm not against that.
What I'm against is that if they think maybe for my political beliefs that I might be an anti-government person and I'm having dinner with something or maybe I e-mail a cousin of mine who lives in the Middle East, that's not enough to be killed. That's enough to say, let's make an accusation and you have a trial. That's the way our country works.
I think the president believes in that, but he needs to be explicit and we've asked the attorney general and they haven't been explicit. They've just talked about exceptions to the rule. We want to know what the rule is. Are you going to kill Americans in America who are not engaged in combat.
BASH: Right, because they have argued that they have given you an answer, but perhaps it's not the answer that you've been looking for. So when you say explicit, how explicit -- what's the answer you're looking for?
PAUL: The very specific question we're asking is, does the president believe he has the authority to kill Americans who are not engaged in combat in America with targeted drone strikes. And I think the answer is no, but they haven't given us that answer. They've given us things like, if planes are attacking the Twin Towers. Well, we all believe that that military -- I mean Republican and Democrat, that the military or anyone can repulse an active attack by an individual or a military or a plane or anything, whether it's an American or not.
What we're talking about is the drone program overseas now often targets people who aren't engaged in combat. They're sitting at home in their house. And that's another debate for another day. But that's the kind of standard we're using overseas. And the president won't answer. He says, well, I might use a stand that -- inside the country different than outside, which alarms us because it means he's already thinking of a standard for killing Americans in the U.S.
BASH: One of the things about this -- about this issue is that it's made for strange bedfellows. You had a Democrat, Ron Wyden, standing with you. But you also don't have all conservatives with you. "The Wall Street Journal," which is known as a very prominent, conservative editorial page, really took after you this morning, saying that you were -- had great theatre, but you're just wrong on the issue because that the U.S. government cannot randomly target American citizens on U.S. soil or anywhere else. What it can do under the laws of war is target an enemy combatant anywhere at any time, including U.S. soil.
PAUL: "The Wall Street Journal's" right on a lot of issues, and they're wrong on this issue. The problem is, is if -- if I call you an enemy combatant, how do we know if you are or aren't? That's just me calling you and accusing you of a crime. Should there be enough power by any politician, Republican or Democrat, to just say, you're an enemy combatant and a hell fire missile drops on your house? That's what they're saying. And I -- with every fiber of my body believe that that is unjust and unconstitutional. That if you are an American on our soil, people can't just accuse you and call you a name. They're just assuming that the person calling your name is omniscient and knows you are guilty of that.
But the way I see it is, look, you know, we have a lot of Arab Americans who live in Dearborn, Michigan. And I think the vast majority, if not almost all of them, are good, American people. But let's say they have a cousin in the Middle East and they e-mail them. Let's say somebody thinks their cousin in the Middle East is a terrorist. Well, for goodness sakes, would you just drop bombs on people in Dearborn and say, well, we think he's associated with terrorism, he's an enemy combatant? Well, that's a lot different than someone with a grenade launcher on their shoulder attacking someone. That's an enemy combatant. But the people that they've been targeting overseas aren't always using weapons. So I don't want that kind of standard in our country.
BASH: What if it's an eminent threat?
PAUL: Eminent threat, no problem. If you're attacking -- there has to be an eminent threat, and this is part of the problem. The president said imminent doesn't have to mean immediate. That's very troublesome to me. If someone's attacking a Capitol with a grenade launcher, that's an imminent threat. If someone's carrying a bomb into a building and getting ready to set it off, that's it. If someone's assembling a bomb, that could be an imminent threat too. But if you're sitting in a cafe and you're e-mailing a friend in the Middle East, that's not an imminent threat.
And the other thing in our country is, if you're not involved actively in combat, wouldn't you rather capture them and ask questions about who they are talking to and investigate it? But really it's about the belief that justice, innocence or guilt, should be determined by a jury of your peers. That's what we've fought for. That's what our soldiers are fighting for. And, to me, it's disappointing that they would be overseas risking their lives to fight for something that we're willing to give up on so easily.
BASH: Yesterday, you talked for a very long time and you've had a lot of things to say yesterday into last night. One of the things that you said was, you were talking about 9/11 and you were using the example of the hijackers and you said that you thought maybe they hijackers were citizens. Did you -- did you mean U.S. citizens? Did you--
PAUL: Well, there were 19 hijackers. A lot of them were here on student visas. I'm almost positive I've read somewhere -- and I don't -- it's hard to be authoritative, but I'm not positive, but I thought I read somewhere that some of them were -- had voting cards. And to have a voting card, you would have to be a citizen. And I never read that they were citizens, but I read somewhere the other day. And so that -- I may have misspoke, but I thought I had read somewhere that some of them had voting cards. And I don't know how they would have voting cards if they weren't citizens.
BASH: Let me ask -- let me ask more of your -- of the personal questions here. We talked a little bit about the fact that you were eating on TV. Eating in front of the senators. You ended at saying effectively that nature was calling.
PAUL: Right.
BASH: Is that why you ended it, because you had to go?
PAUL: That and -- that and -- yes.
BASH: When you gotta go, you gotta go.
PAUL: Yes, 12 hours is a long time not to go to the restroom. And so, yes, it does limit you. And I asked, how did Strom Thurman go 24-hours and apparently there are stories that he was bending the rules a little bit.
BASH: Bending the rules how?
PAUL: By leaving the floor very -- briefly leaving the floor.
BASH: Oh, OK. I'm glad that was your answer. I'm glad that was your answer.
But did you go in -- when you went in at 11:47 a.m., did you say, I'm going to be here until after midnight? What did you -- what was you plan? PAUL: No. As I drove up in the morning, I was with a staff member and I said, if we have a chance, why don't we maybe try to capture the floor to make our point. We had no plan and I had the wrong shoes on. My feet were hurting the whole day. And we really didn't plan it out. We had thought about, if it is -- that this issue is important enough that we'd like to do it sometime. But the floor is controlled by the leadership and it's not often left open where someone can sort of capture the floor and begin to speak. So one of the reason filibusters don't occur is because they carefully guard the floor from letting it happen. And it was left unguarded and so I decided to speak.
BASH: I did notice that you had water there and you -- I don't know if it was intentional --
PAUL: I didn't drink very often.
BASH: You were trying not to drink it. That was intentional.
PAUL: I -- yes, I decided to drink very little water and have no caffeine.
DANA BASH, CNN CHIEF CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Right.
SEN. RAND PAUL (R), KENTUCKY: Testing one, two, three. Testing one, two, three.
BASH: And, senator, we're actually on the air right now.
BALDWIN: We hear you, senator. BASH: Live TV. It's always fun.
PAUL: Great. Yes, that's a good test.
BASH: We just showed the senator. He just actually saw this letter from Eric Holder moments ago. We watched it happen. His aide finally got it and sent -- and gave it to him.
Senator, it's literally three sentences long and he says that the answer to your question about can Americans be killed on U.S. soil, and the answer is no. Are you satisfied?
PAUL: I'm quite happy with the answer and I'm disappointed it took a month and a half and a root canal to get it, but we did get the answer. And that's what I've been asking all along. And it really is what the Senate should be about, advise and consent and find out what policies are. I have a feeling, since this was so difficult, that I never would have gotten this with routine letters to the White House. So through the advise and consent process, I've gotten an important answer. This means that if you live in America, your Fifth Amendment isn't something that's optional. If someone wants to arrest you, if you're not involved in combat in our country, what he's saying now publically is, no president -- so -- because I think the words bind everyone, not just this president, but it's the understanding of the presidency that they can't kill people without some kind of due process.
BASH: So just to be clear, you're announcing right here on CNN that you are going to let John Brennan's nomination now go through? Maybe they could even hold a vote today?
PAUL: Yes. We'll hold it as soon as people want to now. Really, the whole thing is not just to be spiteful to hold up things. Sometimes people get the misimpression that, oh, you're doing things just because you don't like the president. I've actually voted for several of the president's nominees.
BASH: Including Chuck Hagel.
PAUL: Including Chuck Hagel. But I've asked for information, which I think is this give-and-take of trying to get information, which is important. But I think letting the vote go really is inconsequential. I won't make people wait till Saturday. If I hadn't got an answer, I might. But the thing is, is that you use the leverage of your position and the procedures up here, I think, for a greater good. So a lot of people complained, oh, obstructionism. Well, this is an example, I think, of trying to do something you really strongly believe in, but a lot of Americans sent us letters and e-mails and Twitter, people were excited that we were standing up for something that's important to a lot of people.
BASH: You know I just -- as you were coming over here, right after you saw this letter, I saw some people coming up to get your autograph. I mean, no offense, politicians generally don't get their autographs asked for.
PAUL: Well, what was cool was it was the congressional record.
BASH: Oh, from yesterday.
PAUL: So it was the congressional record from yesterday. It was pretty big. I can't imagine the whole thing was me.
BASH: I think it was.
PAUL: But somebody said the budget was in there too.
BASH: It might have been. It might have been.
And just one other thing. Earlier on the floor, I'm not sure if you were able to hear your Republican colleagues John McCain and Lindsay Graham really going off on --
PAUL: Right.
BASH: A position on this. You know, the point they were making is that maybe you have long held this position when it comes to civil liberties versus maybe the more hawkish angle side of your party, like McCain and Graham, but that other who were sort of late to the game last night maybe are doing it for more political reasons. Maybe even your senior senator from Kentucky.
PAUL: You know, I think they're mistaken to be dismissive of this fight. It was a fight really for Fifth Amendment protections. That no one should be arrested in our country under arbitrary changes. And this is really the problem with their position. Their position is that the whole world is a battlefield, including America, and that the laws of war apply to America. In war you don't get due process. And if you're in Afghanistan, you're American and shooting at our soldiers, they can shoot you. They don't ask for a warrant. But in our country, you do have due process. So our country isn't a battlefield with no laws. In fact, our soldiers are sent to Afghanistan to fight for our Bill of Rights and fight for our Constitution. So when they're dismissive of these rules and protections here, I think they're missing what the public is really interested in.
BASH: One last question. What are you going to do when it comes to John Brennan. I know you're going to allow this vote to go through procedurally.
PAUL: Right.
BASH: Will you vote for him like you did for Chuck Hagel and John Kerry?
PAUL: You know, that's still a debate in my mind. Nobody quite understands it if I do that because I fought so long and fought for 13 hours. And I haven't fully made up my mind.
BASH: So you might vote for him?
PAUL: Well, you know, we're still -- I'm still thinking about it and talking about it with staff because the thing is, is, I was fighting hard for this information.
BASH: Right.
PAUL: I was fighting hard for a constitutional protection and get admission from the White House that they will obey the Constitution. So I kind of won my battle.
Now, there is some debate over whether Brennan should be heading the CIA since he's been in charge of this program, that I do have some fault with this program. But then the question becomes, it's a presidential appointee and it's --
BASH: And you've long said that presidents should get the people they want.
PAUL: Some deference. So there's a question of what rises to a level where you oppose a nomination.
Now, there is some question whether or not what are the full opinions of Brennan concerning the drone program here and abroad that I'm still thinking through as far as deciding it. But I've kept an open mind all along because this battle has never been about the president being a Democrat or whether these appointments are by a Democrat president. To me it's about whether or not there are constitutional principles that might be overturned by the nominee.
BASH: Senator, thank you. I know you've got a lot of -- a lot of work to do and I appreciate you coming on. And I'm guessing we'll see you on the floor voting pretty soon now that you've let it happen.
PAUL: All right.
BASH: Thank you very much.
PAUL: Thank you.

text: Hello Everyone, I have been working on a new business plan for the '05 season and was wondering if anyone has implemented this idea. Currently we run a 52' Bobcat, a 36' Exmark, and a 21' inch Toro. On a part-time basis we handle between 30-40 accounts per week, the majority of my customer's lots are around 9,000 sq. feet. We have a few that are larger acreage sized properties. We are putting together a plan that would target the numerous sub-divisions that are popping up everywhere. Most of these lots are 7-8,000 sq feet and do not require the larger machines. We are thinking about using smaller sized trucks (s-10's) and 21'inch mowers to reduce costs. We are also thinking of dropping our mowing prices down to $22 for properties measuring up to 10,000 sq. feet. Does anyone run a similar business model, and if so how is it working? Thanks in advance for all of your advice.

Hi All,
While kicking off the release process for 2.3, we're starting to think about the direction of FoldingText. We don't have enough resources to have a full engineering team behind FT, so it's very important to pick a direction that will grow FT while ensuring our awesome community (you guys!) is happy.
To that end, we've decided to reach out to you and ask if you have any strong opinions on which direction we should choose. Some of these options are much more complex than others. Please pick at most three that you feel strongly about, but don't feel that you need to select three at least.
If you have an idea that's better than all of these below, just shoot a comment and let us know!
Choose up to 3 options
Votes are public.
Thanks a lot for participating! We really, really appreciate it.
A library plus linking between files would make the app perfect for me. So glad to see it's still being supported and thanks so much for all of your efforts Mutahhir.
I agree with @zverhope, a library with a sidebar and document linking would be my top want.
Huge +1 to "library" functionality - I have dozens of ft files and would love to be able to quickly navigate across them.
Something like notational velocity's search would be one great way to do this.
The library feature will be awesome, and an iOS app will probably make FoldingText my favorite text editing app on all platform!
I'd like richer keyboard commands for manipulating lists & lines (something in the direction of Sublime Text)
Hi @makrl,
Thanks for the input. Can you give us an idea as to what kind of operations you'd like to see what are missing?
Maybe TextBundle support or its way of handling inline images http://textbundle.org. I know there's a plugin for that (Rendered Images), but TextBundle is supported by a few apps and does it slightly differently.
Or syntax highlighting for tables. Or other MultiMarkdown features.
Two more feature requests:- The ability to right-click items in the outline view and choose »focus«- The option for focus mode to only show the focused content which should instead of ellipses above and below (where applicable)
Here a few ideas, thanks a lot!
Shift-Return: line aboveMake easier increase-decreaseAutomatic calendar to insert dateClick and drag a line (with children)
The search / filter plugin from @jamie is great. Maybe he would agree to let you build it in to the app somehow, or at least start from there? I rely so heavily on that plugin, I always worry that a new version might break it somehow.
Fix tag auto-completion. I wrote my own plugin for this, and have since moved to a solution that uses Alfred so my tag library is portable across all of my plain text files, regardless of the application I'm working in (useful since I go back and forth between FT, TP and nvALT), but this still feels like something that should be refined.
That said, no one else really mentions it these days, so...
Improve stability. I keep having the application quit unexpectedly -- about once per 5-10 documents I work on. (Running OS 10.9.5, version 2.2 of FT.)
I'm glad it looks like library support is winning. That's exactly what FoldingText needs to be the perfect note-taking app.
I also voted for "Improve an aspect" and I'd love for that to be polished Vim bindings.
The drag to move feature in taskpaper is useful, please consider to add this feature, thanks.
I use FT because it is the best MD editor for writing long form documents that have a broad and deep header structure. The folding/outlining is critical for working in the small and in the large at the same time. This is what differentiates FT from all the other MD editors, so I'd like to see you riff on this theme a little more.
My issue with the current version of FT is that in a large doc with lots of deeply nested headers (broad and deep hierarchy), the outline view is almost as dense as the main doc. FT isn't scaling well to my larger docs.
A couple of ideas:
Thank you all for your awesome feedback and helping shape the direction of FoldingText. We can't say exactly what we're going to be working on next, as there's a lot to do, but getting insight into what you, our most active users, want has been really instrumental in helping us think about the future of FoldingText.
Hi Mutahhir,
I arrived too late to the party to vote, but the "library" idea would have been my vote. Thanks for canvassing for public opinion. If you don't mind, I just wanted to note two things on that:
It would be great if any linking between files followed the common [[wiki]] format. I think many of us are using FoldingText in conjunction with nvALT – I for one have thousands of links and am using "Wiki Link 0.2.0" to make this work.
Several recent entries into the note taking/productivity space will show you the tags employed across all documents in the library. In the case of FoldingText, it would be superb if there was a browser for @tags alongside the browser for files. In a perfect world, there'd also be some way to display and interact with the [[links]] too – perhaps even showing which are most heavily used – but I am a realist!
Thanks, again, for all you're doing with FoldingText!
While we work on some of the other things (Outline view definitely could use some of your suggestions), the above should already be present. Double click on an outline item to focus it in the document.
Library please! A nvAlt like FoldingText with nested folder support is the dream

Maybe I'm a Mets Fan?
Saint Louis Travel Blog› entry 3 of 14 › view all entries
I had lived 26 years without ever going to a Cardinals game, which is highly unusual for where I live (about an hour and a half east of St. Louis) -- grade schools take field trips there, but it had always managed NOT to be my class. And, my dad does not follow professional sports, so I didn't grow up watching sports (now, you wanna talk about trucks and antique tractors, I'm your girl). I had really wanted to go to a Cardinals game in the old Busch Stadium, and didn't make it, so I hadn't exactly made it a priority to go to the new stadium.
Some friends of mine were given (even though I had to pay for mine) tickets to the Cardinals -- Mets game on April 21, 2009. And, luckily, I was able to go (I'd had the chance once or twice before, but had to work or had another conflict).
We arrived during the second inning, which aggravated me a little bit, since it was my first game and all. Our seats were fairly decent -- right beside the Cardinals bullpen, so we were able to watch the pitchers warm up. It was a decent game, as far as baseball games go. The Cards won, 6 - 4. And, I follow baseball just enough to recognize the names -- Pujols, Molina, Carpenter... I wasn't exactly prepared for how cold it was. I always imagined baseball games as a summer activity, but this being April in the Midwest, it was cold and we dressed in layers with blankets. I really had a good time, even though I didn't become an avid baseball or Cardinal fan.

We here at the Indy Homes Team love Zillow for the fact that it connects home buyers and sellers with great Realtors who can help them with all their realty needs (check our stellar Zillow reviews if you're looking for a Realtor!). Not only can you research and compare Realtors, Zillow lets you dip your toe in the home shopping experience before you dive in. You can compare homes in different neighborhoods, get a feel for what you can expect in your price range, and narrow down where you want to begin your search. Zillow is indeed a helpful, transparent tool for the consumer.
You can't rely on Zillow's data
However, buyers need to keep in mind that Zillow is simply a tool—one that will never replace the value of a competent, consultative Realtor. Why? One big reason that buyers need to be aware of: Zillow's information is often inaccurate and outdated. Many times potential buyers will call us about a specific home they found on Zillow only to hear, "Sorry, that home has already sold." (We probably get at least one call like this every day!) Only Realtors have access to the Multiple Listing Service, which provides up-to-the-minute and complete home listing information.
Findings from a 2015 data quality study conducted by real estate brokerage Redfin quantified Zillow's shortcomings:
- Zillow contained only 79 percent of all current homes for sale.
- The median delay between when a home was listed on the MLS and when it appeared on Zillow was seven days.
- 36 percent of homes listed on Zillow were no longer for sale.
Realtors add a lot of value to the home shopping experience
Although Zillow has made some strides in improving its data since this study was published, it still does not replace the expertise of an experienced Realtor. After a thorough assessment of your needs, an adept Realtor will recommend neighborhoods, search high and low (through the MLS, via relationships with other Realtors and even door-knocking) for homes that meet your criteria, help you find a home that will hold its resale value, negotiate a fair price and guide you through closing the deal. In short, we're there to help you every step of the way!
So, go ahead—check Zillow for listings to get an idea of what's available. For more accurate and up-to-date information, we invite you to do your research on our site, IndyHomes.com. Our listing information comes directly from our local MLS, and it's updated every 15 minutes. Better yet, give us a call. We'll schedule you a buyer's consultation with one of our buyers' agents and help you get the ball rolling on your home search!
P.S. You might be wondering about Zillow's home valuations, or "Zestimates." Well, those aren't accurate either. We'll delve into this topic in a future blog, so stay tuned! (In the meantime, check our site IndyCuriosity.com for a more accurate home valuation.)

One man is in the hospital after a shooting at the Breckenridge II Apartments in North Augusta early Monday, authorities said.
Around 2:30 a.m., North Augusta Public Safety was dispatched to the 300 block of East Martintown Road to find George Drumgold, 33, of Augusta, bleeding from a gunshot would to his leg, Lt. Tim Thornton said in an e-mail. Thornton said Drumgold's wound was not life-threatening.
Drumgold was taken to Medical College of Georgia Hospital for treatment.
Officers also found three other people hiding in a car nearby. Witnesses told police Drumgold was involved in a fight with another man in the courtyard of the apartment complex, Thornton said.
Investigators found a silver handgun near the laundry room of the apartment complex and a bullet lodged in an apartment door in addition to shell casings in the yard.
Police have not identified a suspect.
"Lead detectives are confident that, as they put the pieces of the puzzle together, they will confirm the shooter's identity," Thornton said.

Just a heads up that the SKU is also in UPC & MPN(Model) in the data feed.
October 13th, 2013, 12:01 PM #2
And so they are... I'm not clear on how long it has been like this? Wal-mart uses EAN numbers for SKU's where possible (but adds a 0 prefix to the 13 digit number), so it is possible that its been like this for a very long time and my system still processes them correctly?
I don't like to see this junk in the UPC column: MP10006769710, but, once again, I would discard it...

It's also in the MPN/Model column so that makes that column useless also..

Residents from 10 condos may be looking for a new place to live after a fire in St. Charles County Monday afternoon.
Cottleville firefighters responded to the Meadow Ridge condos and found flames shooting through the roof of a third story condo.
They said the flames spread to an attic.
That made their jobs more difficult but they did keep the flames limited to one condo.
Firefighters say no one was injured, but the fire has displaced people living in 10 condos.

This is the one I used, kinda like an impossible pie the way it splits into layers:
Whoops, the link I shared isn't allowed. I'll find another.
Magic cake recipe
The magic in Magic cake is that it separates into layers in the oven with little-to-no effort from you. It has a sponge top and custard centre.
Serving Size:
Cakes & Baking, Dessert, Easy cake recipes
Prep Time:
10 mins
Cook Time:
60 mins
4 eggs (separate yolks from whites), room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1/2 cup (125g) butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup (115g) plain flour, sifted
2 cups (500ml) milk, lukewarm
2 tbsp icing sugar, sifted
Step 1. Preheat oven to 170°C (150°C fan-forced). Line a 15cm x 25 cm baking dish with baking paper and set aside. Separate eggs and beat the whites in a clean, dry bowl until they form stiff peaks. Set aside.
Step 2. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar until light and frothy and then beat in butter and vanilla extract. Add flour a little at a time until well incorporated. With the mixer running add the milk a little at a time until combined.
Step 3. Gently fold in egg whites until combined and pour into dish.
Step 4. Bake for 45-70 minutes or until a light golden crust is formed on the top of the cake.
Dust sifted icing sugar generously over the top of the cake and serve.

Here ya go @Sonja Some uncooked and a cooked one...
This is the Choc one -
Chocolate Magic Custard Cake Recipe
Yield: one 8"x8" Cake
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Recipe is adapted from our previously posted Magic Custard Cake. A few notes on making the cake: the vinegar helps stabilize the egg whites after they've whipped to stiff peaks. If you have a copper bowl to whip them in, you can skip the vinegar.
When adding the milk, we found it easier and less messy to gently hand whip them in instead of using the stand mixer. It is a very liquidy batter, and for us it splattered everywhere even at the slowest speed. You could also wrap the head of the mixer and the top of the bowl with plastic wrap to help contain the splattering.
As with the original magic custard cake, the temperatures of the ingredients are important. If too hot it will cook the eggs, too cold it will harden the butter.
For folding in the whites, it is done with more of a gentle whisk/folding motion with the whisk since the batter is so runny. The whites will look a little curd like after mixing them in, just try to mix/fold them to the point where there is no big chunks.
Because of the custard center, when fully baked, there will be a bit of a jiggle, but not a sloppy jiggle to the cake when gently shook. Same after it has cooled. That's about it. Have fun and every time we've made the magic custard cakes (this one or the original), going into the oven we don't think they will work correctly, and after baking they are magically perfect.
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted Butter
- 2 1/2 cups (600ml) Milk
- 1 cup (115g) Flour
- 1/2 cup (43g) Cocoa Powder
- 4 Eggs, separated
- 4 drops White Vinegar *see head note
- 1 3/4 cups (210g) Confectioner's Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) Espresso or Strong Coffee, lukewarm
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Extract
- extra confectioner's sugar for dusting
- optional-fresh berries for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly butter or grease a 8"x8" baking dish.
- Melt the butter and set aside to slightly cool. Warm the milk to lukewarm and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder for 20 seconds. Set aside.
- Whip the egg whites with vinegar to stiff peaks. Set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light. Beat in the melted butter, espresso, and vanilla extract for about 2 minutes or until evenly incorporated.
- Mix in the flour/cocoa into the batter until evenly incorporated. Gently whisk/beat in the milk until everything is well mixed.
- Fold/gently-whip in the egg whites, 1/3 at a time. Repeat until all of the egg whites are folded in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until when you gently shake the cake, it is slightly jiggly but is no longer runny jiggly (I know it sounds weird, but that is the best way we can think of describing the sensation).
- Allow cake to completely cool before cutting and then dust with confectioner's sugar *see Note 1. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.
Note 1: For faster cooling you can place the cake in the fridge. Even after fully cooled, it will still be slightly jiggly. It is also very delicate to move. We we're able to gentle slide/flip it out of the pan without too much damage, but after trying to move it again, it quickly cracks the top. That's part of its charm. Just dust with confectioner's sugar and devour away.

Go grab a skirt. Press play. WATCH. I know it's not quite Tuesday but hey, I've owned you like a million videos already so here we go!
I've had this skirt since I started thrifting, almost four years ago. In fact, this might be one of my first purchases. I've decided to show you all the ways to wear this skirt and styles like this.
My one tip when finding a skirt this flexible in re-wearing is find one with no elastic band or structured band. This skirt only has a button and zipper. The skirt has a fluid shape which helps in morphing it into whatever you want.
Good luck and show me the other ways you wear your skirt!

A placement through the North Zone Registered Nurse/Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RN/RPN) Locum Program offers personal and career growth opportunities. Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the United Nurses of Alberta (UNA) have a unique agreement that provides nurses opportunities to gain experience in a variety of practice settings such as acute care, emergency, obstetrics and continuing care by matching nurses with northern Alberta communities based on your experience, availability, and location preferences. Nurses have the opportunity to grow their practice, and northern patients benefit from the additional knowledge and experience of trained nurses coming to their area. It's a win-win solution that you can feel good about.
"I have always worked in big hospitals and was very specialized. When I came as a locum it's a totally different way of nursing. You really get to know your patients, the community and different cultures from around the world. You develop really nice relationships that way." - Barb, completed various locums.
Aside from the benefit of gaining experience working with a variety of departments, RNs and RPNs are able to work to their full scope of practice, treating patients from all stages of life and with varying needs. Being part of the locum pool also offers additional incentives, including a premium payment of $6.00 per hour as well as reimbursement for travel costs/per diem expenses.
"I just really fell in love with the area. It's nice to have that diversified experience you get working in the North. That's what appealed to me. You get a little bit of everything from trauma, cardiac, pediatrics, obstetrics, health teaching and a lot of mentoring." - Audrey, former locum practitioner who has since relocated to northern Alberta.
Covering a vast expanse of the province, Alberta's north offers exceptional lifestyle opportunities. Positions in Northern Alberta offer great benefits beyond your career – discover a different pace of life, meet new people, and find new recreational activities.
The extra-long summer days deliver ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors: hiking, biking, and riding horseback or ATVs along thousands of kilometres of trails, or enjoy fishing, swimming, or paddling along northern waterways. Winter sports are also hugely popular and locals enjoy skiing, skating, ice-fishing or snowmobiling through the varied terrain. From prairie grasslands to dense boreal forest, you'll find yourself immersed in communities with unique cultures that are all their own.
You may be eligible to participate in this program if you:
You are not required to make a minimum or maximum time commitment in order to participate in the program.

Owned since new?
Owned for how long?

Buy this make again?
Comfort and practicality6.0/10
It's a sports car, so don't expect to fit heaps in it. But not as bad as some other sport cars anyway. I have managed to fit four guys in there before, but not recommended for a long drive!
Overall verdict10.0/10
Great car. Heaps of fun to drive and more practical than some other sporty cars on the market. The handling etc, is really brilliant and made driving through the hills a real pleasure. Not too much wrong with it really. I originally bought one for the looks, but enjoyed the way it drives just as much as it's looks. Sadly, practicality has got in the way and I had to trade it in for a more practical car to fit bikes etc, but would certainly have been happy to keep it otherwise.

Psalm 5:3 says: At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart.
Every emotion of our hearts is reflected in the Psalms with words that express our deepest and strongest feelings. Sighing is turned to singing and trouble into triumph. The Psalms provide comfort and joy, leading us to the place where worship flows. When discouraged or downcast, we can take new strength from reading them. They charge our batteries and fill our sails. Their thunder stirs us, and sweet melodies move us into the sacred emotions of a heart on fire. Dark rain clouds of grief turn to bright rainbows of hope as we meditate on David's soul subduing songs. The Psalms are clearly poetic. They are praises placed inside poetry that spill out of a fiery passionate heart. The Psalms free us to become emotional, passionate, sincere worshippers. These 150 poetic masterpieces give us an expression of faith and worship. They become a mirror to the heart of Gods people in our quest to experience His presence.

Passionately translated with the emotion of Love
I am speechless at the expressions in this translations. Utter love, and undeniably expressing the heart felt emotions of David and the other writers as they artistically expressed their love and adoration for their God.
The presentation of love emotion in some of the verses, and the simplicity of language
My favorites Psalms 23, 91 etc sound amazingly poetic.
Poetry on Fire
This here is amazing. I cannot wait to get the Songs of Solomon
