text: https://thecybersecurityplace.com/gdpr-is-coming-this-may- how-should-your-business-prepare/ The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become the law across the EU on 25th May 2018. Consumer protection is at the heart of GDPR – it will unify data protection across the whole of the EU and this will impact any business which deals with the EU. If a business does not comply, there will be huge fines of up to 4% of global annual turnover. Two main groups will be affected by GDPR: 1. 'Controllers' of data – anyone who collects personal data 2. 'Processors' of data – such as IT companies Until now, customer data protection has been largely the responsibility of data controllers, yet from May this year, the processors are also going to be impacted. The impact will be also be felt by businesses across the world if they work with the EU. The UK is included in the EU, as GDPR comes into force before any changes associated with Brexit. The Financial Times contacted 20 of the largest software, financial technology, internet companies and social media companies with EU operations to see how they were dealing with the forthcoming impact of GDPR. Tech companies are having to hire more staff and consultants to make sure that they comply with all the required GDPR regulations. Replying to The Financial Times' investigation, Facebook said that initial compliance would cost several million dollars and Facebook Ireland's data protection team would be growing by 250% alone to support the changes. Technology groups say GDPR could be one of the most expensive law change in the sector's history. 2016 saw revenues of €59.5bn generated from data and it is seen as a fundamental part of the technology industry as the industry uses personal information for targeted advertising and product development. GDPR is going to change how this information can be collected and used. How tech will change the way it handles data GDPR is set to completely change the way international technology companies can collect, store and share the data of EU citizens: - Companies will have to ask for clear agreement from the consumer before using any of their personal information - GDPR allows a strict 72-hour deadline for identifying and reporting security breach. - Consumers will have a right to be forgotten and to change their mind about their initial consent. They could even request for the information to be deleted. This will cause problems for technology companies that share data and for the cloud service providers, which look after personal information for other companies. The consumer could potentially give the information to a rival. Who will be worst affected by GDPR? Cloud providers such as Google, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft will have to change, however Microsoft is seeing this as an opportunity with smaller companies using its cloud system to buy GDPR compliance. Social media and other consumer-facing technology businesses will no longer be allowed to hide behind the failure to mention what is happening to the personal information they store and the previously popular pre-ticked boxes in the small print. Web designers will have to enlarge any small print and make everything clear and transparent to the customer to give them the power of choice and awareness of what is happening to their data. The steps that you need to take to ensure GDPR compliance Facebook are having urgent design meetings and hiring new staff just to deal with GDPR, but what can you do as a smaller company? - Track where your personal data goes through your business. This can be complicated, but it is easier to do this now rather than with a 72 hour data breach notification hanging over you - Hire a dedicated data protection officer if you have more than 250 employees - Take GDPR into consideration when taking on new data processing contracts - Secure a compliance guarantee from new suppliers to check their GDPR compliance status - Communicate with your suppliers to ensure their data is going to be protected - Investigate whether your insurance policies cover data protection and security breaches by suppliers - Be aware that dealing with suppliers of different sizes will be a challenge as you will need to take into account that smaller companies don't have as many resources - Ensure that processes are in place to enable the organisation to satisfy the 72-hour breach notification requirement The amount of work needed to get ready for May 2018 can seem daunting, but IT professionals who are well prepared can turn this into an opportunity for better quality suppliers and increased trust from your customers. GDPR can be seen as the law catching up with the digital world. After all, it is unnerving to think of your personal data being shared without your knowledge. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

She is not only an astonishing performer but a loving mother and a shrewd business woman. The smile on Samantha Mogwe tells it all – she is at a place in her life where she is the happiest. This is a culmination of a dream from the young age when her mother insisted on her singing for visitors. She was always singing, with her older siblings always telling her to keep quiet. Eventually though she stopped. "I think maybe it was puberty where you get in a stage that makes you think that some things are not cool anymore," she recalls. Recognising the talent that she had, her friend forced her to join My African Dream and from there she met someone who volunteered to help her with vocal lessons. She had to ask for money from her mother to fund that. She continued joining competitions in music and poetry. From poetry sessions she learnt how to write and worked with the now renowned poet TJ Dema. "I started learning from how other people wrote poems. I had these different platforms like singing in church too which helped me to showcase what I do," she says, adding that it is important for the up and coming artists to know that it is not about a record deal but rather about building a great foundation.
For her it was not all about music; she had to focus on school as well. But when she got to the university one of her friends encouraged her to audition for Idols Africa. Though she initialled refused she finally auditioned and made it to the top 24, being the only Motswana. This was the moment that elevated her passion for music to a high level. Though she didn't have money she decided to put up a show and relied on her network of friends to deliver it. She used social media and willing friends. When Botswana Craft offered her space, her mission was almost accomplished. "They opened doors for me and I was able to get bookings even before I had a single playing on radio. So it is about putting yourself out there and hustling, and not being afraid to ask for help from the people you know especially family and friends who believe in you," she says. Her crew from then managed to package her well and sell her to others. She believes in perfection and processes and is particular with her budget and putting money in what she does because she has to pay many people. Born of a Zambian mother and Motswana father, she is working on highlighting her roots in her new music projects. "Of late I have been trying to get in touch with my roots by even engaging with artists whose music is centred around where they come from like jazz songstress Nnunu Ramogotsi on how she sells her country but not losing who she is" she says. In everything she does, she makes sure that she doesn't lose herself, because she wants to sell a product that is authentic.
She says she is switching things up and portrays it in hair, clothes and makeup. She loves print and bold colours especially black, and being the busy person that she is she has a stylist to help her. She has recently been appointed the brand ambassador for Jack's Gym due to her dedication to fitness. She says artists should conduct themselves well and know that music is their job. "It is important to set an example for artists who are coming up so that they can learn and respect the arts. We should stop arguing and gossiping and focus on the industry," she insists. Mogwe is excited about the young female artists that are coming up. She encourages young people to know that beauty is fleeting but should rather chase after their dreams with their whole heart. So far Mogwe has only one album titled Transition and is busy planning the next one. "It will reflect a happier side of me," she says. Mogwe is a multifaceted individual who holds a Bachelor's degree in Theology and has studied music with Trinity College of London. She was born in Serowe in 1988 to a father from Kanye and a mother from Zambia. She, however, grew up in Mochudi. She is overjoyed by motherhood. Her bundle of joy is Kaela Logan Kitlanang but they just call him Baby K. She spent the first festive holidays as a mother with the greater family. "We spent Christmas in Serowe because that is where my husband is from. We had a family Christmas lunch and spent time with the cousins; we only see them at that time of the year," she says.

| 12.4°C Belfast
A teacher who suffered permanent damage after being forced to raise her voice to be heard in class has been awarded a six-figure payout, it was disclosed yesterday.
English teacher Joyce Walters developed nodules on her vocal chords which she said were caused by having to speak loudly over noise outside her classroom at Harlington Adult Education Centre, in Hillingdon, north west London.
After the nodules were discovered through surgery, Mrs Walters underwent months of speech therapy, but said she could still only speak for a short period before her throat became sore and her voice became hoarse.
The 50-year-old mother-of-two has received more than £150,000 (€173,900) through two out of court settlements agreed with her employers, Hillingdon Council. It is thought to be one of the biggest payouts received by a teacher.
Mrs Walters said: "Teaching was my calling, I adored the classroom and miss it so much, but the problems with my voice make it impossible for me to ever go back.
"I even have to think twice about day-to-day things, like speaking on the phone . . . as my voice is not strong enough to maintain a conversation."

WhyEmpty dark eyes
Staring into space
Feeling devoid of purpose,
Have you embraced the grave?
Are you ready to leave behind ,
All that you love?
To give up your soul
For an unknown place
Without thought of the cost,
To those left behind.
Who will pick up the pieces
Of a shattered life?
Is one fateful moment worth
All the pain?
You have passed on to the living,
On one fateful day.

ANCESTOR by Scott Sigler from scottsigler.net - #1 on the Amazon SciFi list, and held the #1 spot in Horror for three days. On a remote island in Lake Superior, scientists struggle to solve the problem of xenotransplantation -- using animal tissue to replace failing human organs. Funded by the biotech firm Genada, Dr. Claus Rhumkorrf seeks to recreate the ancestor of all mammals. By getting back to the root of our creation, Rhumkorrf hopes to create an animal with human internal organs. Rhumkorrf discovers the ancestor, but it is not the small, harmless creature he envisions. His genius gives birth to a fast-growing evil that nature eradicated 250 million years ago -- an evil now on the loose, and very, very hungry. EXPLICIT: May not be appropriate for younger listeners

After last month's Nelson Civic Theatre annual general meeting I received an email from Gray Creek "mayor," history buff, and local pioneer Tom Lymbery.
"Congratulations Anne on handling a full theatre at the Civic — and thank you so much for the effort you have put into this project," wrote Tom. "We enjoyed the movie very much — otherwise I couldn't have got my wife, Sharon, to come to an AGM."
It was great to see Tom and Sharon at the AGM, along with 289 other Nelson Civic Theatre Society members, some of whom would not normally have come to an AGM. Knowing this, and knowing we had to pull out all the stops to get our 10 per cent quorum out in order to change the bylaws that required a 10 per cent quorum, we resorted to a little bribery.
We offered a social hour with appies (thank you, Save-on!) and tours beforehand and a free movie with popcorn and drink afterwards. We showed Hugo, a delightful movie about movies. And it worked. (Of course, many of you came just because you cared.)
I gave the president's report, describing our journey — trajectory, really — from semi-gutted space to going concern: seats in, fully digital, regular films, not to mention those supportive 2,117 members. I also lauded our staff, including "Central Nerve" operations and project manager Sue Adam, fundraising manager Roger "Go-get-'em" Ley, and our resident cinephile and theatre manager Jason Asbell. And I gushed about my fellow board members, of course, because they really are a rare and special bunch. Committee chairs and members, volunteers — extraordinary hardly touches it, really.
Treasurer Rick Dietrich reported on financials, noting our happily positive cashflow but cautioning that our staff is subsidized through various grants and that to be profitable — and therefore able to maintain the theatre and give back to the community in the long term — three screens remains an essential goal.
Roger Ley reported on fundraising successes, in particular the community challenge that saw more than $180,000 raised in two months for digital conversion, and outlined challenges for the next development phases. Roger talked about major supporters such as the Columbia Basin Trust, described the corporate sponsorship program, and introduced the members of our fundraising campaign cabinet — local movers-and-shakers all.
Jason Asbell reported an astonishing figure of 40 different movies shown since we opened as a fully digital theatre just three months ago. He described the challenges of distributors' requirements, and our strategy to show films a few weeks after release for maximum flexibility. And he announced Monthly Member Movie Mondays (MMMM) with a chance to vote from the Theme-of-the-month list for a free movie for members.
Volunteer committee co-chair Anna Purcell described the thousands (yes, thousands) of hours put in by volunteers, from cleaning through committees. She also noted the volunteer contributions of our paid staff, who log many hours above and beyond.
And then nominating committee chair and vice president Marilyn Mint introduced the new board, who are: (continuing): John Brand, Rick Dietrich, Marilyn Mint, Darryl Santano, Ken Spencer, and (new): Don Johnston, Graeme Leadbeater, Mary Prothro, and Mark Stevens. Let me say now that this is an exceptional board going forward, which is great — because while there is much to celebrate, there is still much to do.
Oh — and that quorum question? You discussed, you amended, and you eventually passed a more easily achievable AGM quorum — phew! Next year we'll fill the seats not because we have to, but simply because you want to be there. It's your theatre, after all.
The Nelson Civic Theatre project is all about building community, and building good memories like the one Tom included in his letter, in which a movie in Nelson was a rare and special thing.
"When my sister and I were young we only got one trip to Nelson each year, by Greyhound, to see the dentist," Tom wrote. "Overnight at a $2 room at the Hume and a movie at the Capitol or the Civic."
Isn't it great that the Hume, the Capitol, and the Civic are still here, all these years later? We'll strive to be not so rare, but we'll definitely work to stay special.

Let's Eat Grandma
Let's Eat Grandma (Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth) were just 17 when they released their debut I, Gemini on 17 June 2016. A marriage of magnificence and makeshift, featuring synths, saxophones, clapping games and recorders. Their lives have changed unimaginably since then, with the album securing them sold out shows around the world, critical acclaim, and a spellbinding turn on Jools Holland.
Two years on, and their second album, I'm All Ears, is an even greater revelation: alive with furious pop, unapologetic grandeur, and intimate ballads. It features production from David Wrench (The xx, Frank Ocean), SOPHIE (Madonna, Charli XCX), and Faris Badwan (The Horrors); and cements Let's Eat Grandma as one of the most creative and exciting bands in the world.
The band say it is a portrait of their lives over the past two years, "the record is quite broad, in both style and meaning of the tracks, because it's supposed to represent the whole experience of what it's like to be us," says Rosa. Musically, it draws on their love of PC Music, Frank Ocean, their parents' record collections, ringtones, train journeys, vintage synths.

Fixing a concrete basement floor sounds simple. Is it?
Basement waterproofing companies have one thing in common; remove and replace concrete. That is where the similarities end. Some companies demolish the structural integrity of a home by removing all concrete flooring along your basement walls to install their drainage. They have you believe that they solved the problem by replacing the floor with new concrete.
Visually, you have solved the problem, but a new issue is present. Your basement floor no longer helps to support the foundation of your house. The waterproofing company created a cold joint by adding fresh concrete next to a dry, aged concrete floor. A new crack will grow along that cold joint in a matter of months.
You will see rapid changes in the structural integrity of your home. New floor and wall cracks will form in your basement, sheetrock wall cracks in upper floors, doors, and windows getting stuck.
A majority of waterproofing companies do not rebuild concrete basement floors (slabs) back to the code-compliant thickness of 3.5 inches. American Dry Basement Systems has found many other installations with repoured concrete floors between 1 to 2 inches thick. Even if a waterproofing contractor offers to repour to a code-compliant thickness, they still create a cold joint that fails to keep your home's structural integrity intact.
American Dry Basement Systems has found the answer to maintaining the structural integrity of your home. Our engineering tabs completely remove any chance of destroying your foundation's strength.
We jackhammer portions of your concrete floor away to install our drainage, leaving behind spaced original concrete floor on your footing. Your original thick floor remains on the footing to hold your walls out. This combination of wall, footer, and floor ("Trio") fights against hydrostatic pressure caused by groundwater outside your basement walls.
A 10-12 inch deep trench is made alongside the footer and underneath the engineering tabs. A pitched drainage pipe and stone fill the trench and connect to a sump pump station for water removal. We finish off the installation with a custom-sized drainboard, vapor barrier, and our proprietary Supercrete mix.
Supercrete is no ordinary concrete mix. It is proprietary and properly mixed by American Dry Basement Systems' crews. We use a combination of concrete powder and crystalline ingredients to make a concrete mix that literally grows into the pores of an adjoining concrete floor. There is no longer a cold-joint cracking like the ones created by applying plain concrete mix.
Our engineering tabs and Supercrete will maintain the structural integrity of your home and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
It is always a great feeling to be the first hired contractors to break ground. We know we will be able to maintain the foundation strength with our methods and products. But, we do occasionally walk into homes that already have a compromised concrete basement floor.
Here are two reasons why your concrete basement floor may not be sitting on top of your footer:
- The original concrete basement floor (slab) suffers from uneven thicknesses. The floor is thinner on the footer than in the center of the basement. Most of the floor weight will be in the center of the basement. The lack of continuity in floor thickness will cause the concrete to sink in the center. The basement floor will crack along the footing.
- Some waterproofing systems require the complete removal of a basement concrete floor along the footer.
American Dry Basement Systems witnessed many compromised basement floors, especially the ones removed by other contractors. Unfortunately, many homeowners are not aware of the structural integrity issue. Sometimes they end up with a situation that returns the original water on the floor problem, but one that comprises the entire foundation of the house. Hiring the wrong waterproofing company can be a costly mistake.
We have a solution to recover from missing concrete floor on top of your foundation's footer. The answer is "Mechanical Spacers."
Our waterproofing crews are skilled at reinforcing a compromised concrete floor with rebar. They start by drilling holes into the side of the original concrete basement floor and fit crisscross rebar into them. The rebar rests on top of the footer and spaced approximately every 10 feet. Our Supercrete mix assures that the original floor will mend to the rebar and become a singular waterproof barrier giving support to the floor.
Watch our video on YouTube, showing the layout of mechanical spacers. We plan to have a more detail breakdown on video in the future.

Travel Log Part 2Posted: January 25, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
By the second flight Dan was grateful for the roll-away carry-ons we'd bought because he could roll ALL FOUR while still carrying a backpack, his satchel with all our passports and boarding passes in it, and holding on to Asher. Ami carried a couple backpacks, the mandolin and some coats while ushering the girls along to catch the next flight.
Ami got to take Harmony into the airport bathroom for her first experience at a Squatty Potty. Fun Fun. Luckily they also had a chair user's stall with a western style toilet, Whew! 🙂 The airline food was generally great. Dan looked back at me at one point and said the wheat thins I had bought for the trip sounded really good at the moment 😉 but the kids all found something they liked from what was served.
The kids slept a good bit. They played on the ipad. They drew pictures. I'll include one Asher drew. Harmony LOVES flying and really had a great time. Ahava and Asher individually mentioned to me their different feelings about moving to China. Being scared, nervous, etc.

Author: Susan May Warren
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
Pages: 353
Genre: Christian Fiction
Source: I purchased it.
Goodreads: A beautiful blanket of snow may cover the quaint town of Deep Haven each winter, but it can't quite hide the wreckage of Noelle and Eli Hueston's marriage. After twenty-five years, they're contemplating divorce . . . just as soon as their youngest son graduates from high school. But then an accident erases part of Noelle's memory. Though her other injuries are minor, she doesn't remember Eli, their children, or the tragedy that has ripped their family apart. What's more, Noelle is shocked that her life has turned out nothing like she dreamed it would. As she tries to regain her memory and slowly steps into her role as a wife and mother, Eli helps her readjust to daily life with sometimes-hilarious, sometimes-heartwarming results. But can she fall in love again with a man she can't remember? Will their secrets destroy them . . . or has erasing the past given them a chance for a future?
Ope's Opinion: When I started this book it grabbed me. After a while it started to drag, but because I had read Susan May Warren before I did not want to give up on it. There were some good parts. I am a fan of Christian Fiction, but even parts of this sounded – not preachy, but a lot of faith talk.
I would recommend this author. She has written some awesome books. Find one of her story lines that you are interested in and she will keep you reading.
Rating: Three Chairs – I like the book enough to suggest it to a friend or two.

There are many new forms of alternative energy but maybe none as interesting as the Cool Earth Solar "Balloon." The concept behind this design is that they create an "inflatable plastic thin-film balloon (solar concentrator) that, upon inflation, focuses sunlight onto a photovoltaic cell held at its focal point.
The design produces 400 times the electricity that a solar cell would create without the company's concentrator." Cool Earth has already began construction on a power plant in Livermore, CA that will utilize this new technology. The plant is modest in size, creating only 1.4 Megawatts but if this plant works as well as they expect it to, they plan on launching a full sized plant next summer. One great thing about this device is that it's made up of a very common and cheap material. "Plastic thin film is abundant and cheap," said Cool Earth Solar CEO Rob Lamkin. "It only costs two dollars for the plastic material necessary for our solar concentrator."

When it's time to meet for casual sex, unless you're a seasoned professional you are likely to need a few pointers about what to do and what not to do. This isn't just like meeting a blind date or even someone you've seen for a regular date, both of you know that there is casual sex on the menu.
How to behave
When you meet for casual sex you must try to remember a few things:
• Try to be yourself. Although you may think this doesn't make you the most sexy person in the world, remember that the person you are meeting is aware why you're both meeting and being yourself is as sure a way than any to make them comfortable around you.
• Don't ignore the sex part. You both know why you're together, when you meet for casual sex you don't expect to have to do anything else do you? Many people will perhaps have partners already and they're just meeting you in secret to have sex. If you act as though you're on a date you might scare away your sex date simply because they want to get straight down to it. Strike a good balance here and remember not to worry about it; you both know that you're going to have sex – get on with it!
• Practice safe sex. If you meet for casual sex remember that it is indeed casual sex and that your partner will more than likely have done this before. This is a good reason to use a condom in order to prevent the transmission of any sexually transmitted diseases; this would be a terrible end to an otherwise fantastic casual sex encounter.
• Make sure you are clean. There can be nothing worse than getting to a hotel room or wherever you have chosen to meet for casual sex, only to discover that your partner hasn't bothered with a shower before they came out, or that they haven't shaved or trimmed the parts that matter. If it matters to you then remember that it more than likely matters to them. Casual sex shouldn't be about putting up with anyone's bad hygiene, it's about having great, uncomplicated sex with someone.
• Discuss what goes before the sex. Make sure you know what to expect from your sex partner and what they expect from you. There are many different ways to have sex and not all of them will be received well by your partner. For example, if you like anal sex, make sure you discuss this with your partner. When you meet for casual sex you shouldn't be afraid to talk about it, you're going to do it aren't you?
These are just a few ideas to get you going before you meet for casual sex. Try to concentrate on having fun on your date, but above all else, be safe and keep well protected. Never meet a stranger in a remote place, it's always best to meet in public and then move on from there if you're totally happy with the way things are going.

The Speaker was Emma Watson introducing the campaign called He for She. The campaign is about political, economic, and social gender equality and not just for females, but for males as well. To often the word feminism has an underlying meaning to people as "man hating'. Emma Watson came to speak about just that and other issues that often go by unseen. The issues of the glass ceiling, equal wages for same work between genders, women involvement in policies and laws that will effect all women lives, and socially having equal respect.
There is no country in our world that have completely achieved gender equality' that should be viewed as human rights. There has been significant improvement in many countries but many women today still do not have the opportunity to have secondary schooling. Men should be just as much involved in gender equality because there are also issues that they have to deal with. The role as a father is being valued less and less in society, and young men do not ask for help for fear they will be less of a man.
Men and women should feel free to be sensitive and strong. As Emma Watson said, "Gender should be on one spectrum and not two sets of opposing deals". Ms. Watson upheld most of the responsibilities for ethical public speaking. The topic of gender equality promotes positive values and she did not shy away or back down from what hose believed in. Multiple times in the speech she talked about in her research she has found many startling facts and presented them well.
When her language was not inclusive, it was to show the conflict and differences between genders. The time in total for the speech was about 13 minutes long and was respectful to her listeners. Some things that were not fulfilled was sometimes with the statistics she used whole numbers instead of percentages and did not credit her sources for any of her information. Some of the responsibilities that a listener would have to this speech would be clapping at certain points.

A Guardian's Desire, is officially my first print book release and it is available today from Amazon. It even has a blurb!! Oh yeah, I'm stoked and not just because I spent a hell of a time working on it but because I am a glossy, print book whore.
I will admitt that when I initially started work on this book, I did not think or imagine that it would be taken to print, and when I found out, I just kept staring at the email like, is it real? I made my first book in elementary school with board, contact paper, glue, needle and thread and paper. I illustrated it and everything. It was then that I knew what I wanted to do, make books, and today even more so, this book raises the bar.
Hopefully, I will continue to release ebooks and while another print book is not always promised, for now and for today, I have one and it is a very good one, full of adventure and erotic goodness.
Available today from Loose-Id and Amazon, I present "A Guardian's Desire."

Really - I don't know why I try to go to bed at a descent hour. Maybe the kids will take a nap tomorrow and so will I. ;) But... until I have that mastered, I will continue to work until the wee-hours in the morning. Hmmmm - lots of typos before I backspaced. Time for bed.
This is a from a recent family shoot. And OH - look at this darling boy. His mom is gorgeous as well. Love those combinations.
Love the lighting. Love the moments that they have NO idea I'm there. :0)
Still looking for the perfect outfit to take pics of my girl. Maybe I should call another photographer ;0). It's SOOOOOOO hard when it's your own.

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our August 2020 wedding. Dorinda was quick to respond when we first inquired about touring the venue. After just stepping foot on the lawn, we knew the Butler Creek Lodge was where we wanted to get married. The lodge is the perfect space for a "Montana Wedding". The outdoor space is rustic and woodsy, but still elegant enough for a wedding. The lodge itself was comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped to host brunch and day-of-snacking. Our entire wedding party plus family stayed Friday and Saturday night and we all had a fantastic time. We couldn't believe how affordable it was either! Dorinda was so accommodating, helpful, and flexible. I would absolutely recommend the Butler Creek Lodge for your wedding or less formal getaway. 5 Stars!
Butler Creek Lodge Testimonials
This is a great modern house with all the upgrades. Our family gathered for a Thanksgiving reunion. The kitchen and living areas are great, Bedrooms and baths have been upgraded to top of the line. We were fortunate to find this castle in the pines. Date of arrival – November 27, 2019 Date of check out- November 30, 2019 Jon Lasham and family from Wyoming VRBO Listing Review #29314453
We had our wedding at Butler Creek Lodge in June. It is truly breathtaking property and I couldn't imagine a more perfect setting for the biggest day of our lives. Dorinda and Dennis are the kindest hosts you could imagine. They made us feel very welcome and it was truly a pleasure to get to know them over the course of the weekend. We're extremely grateful we were able to celebrate our marriage in such a beautiful place. This is Montana at its finest. We're already talking about booking the lodge for our anniversary. Bobby an
Our family of 12 had plenty of room and our every wish fulfilled at Butler Creek Lodge. Dorinda and Dennis are those rare hosts who really want you to be as comfortable as they are! From coffee and muffins for 1st mornings' breakfast to DVD's for the kids to beautifully landscaped grounds with comfy chairs to enjoy the sunsets, this is a lovely home in every way. This is a super well-supplied kitchen! It is convenient to downtown Missoula yet private and quiet in typical Montana country.
Graduation Celebration at Butler Creek Lodge
Wow! What a find! We celebrated our daughters college graduation from the University of Montana and our entire family stayed at the lodge. Dorinda and Dennis are the most wonderful hosts and we wished we could have stayed longer. We had 16 guests and also had additional guests for the Grad Party. Perfect for this occasion and we did not have to stay in hotels separate from one another and did not have eat out at every meal. There was nothing we wanted or needed as the lodge and hosts had it ALL! I want to have an event in Missoula just so we can go back. And the price was cheaper than a hotel!
This review is long overdue! My husband and I got married at Butler Creek Lodge in August 2018. I fell in love with the venue the moment
Awesome service. Great location. Surreal feel. Fair price. If you're in Missoula and don't want the normal motel, this is the place. A fast drive out of town and it seems like ages. Highly recommend. Will not disappoint.
Missoula Trip
While on a recent visit to Missoula, MT we stayed at the Butler Creek Lodge. We were on a fly fishing trip. It was very comfortable, beds were great. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The setting was very pretty.
A friend and I booked Butler Creek Lodge for the first 4 nights of our Montana fly fishing trip. The owner's sister Dorinda, and her husband Dennis have recently taken over management of the Lodge and are doing a fantastic job!
The Lodge was full and so we were accommodated in a self-contained apartment within the main house. The apartment was ideal for our needs, consisting of 2 bedrooms, shower room, kitchen and living area; and also had a covered patio area looking out over the gardens.
The gardens are well looked after and very peaceful, and you can find yourself sharing your coffee with a couple of grazing deer.
Dorinda and Dennis were a lovely couple who couldn't do enough for you, without making you feel as if you were being crowded or watched. The breakfasts were superb and the choice extensive.
I feel the Lodge was perfectly located. Only 10 minutes from the airport, but well away from the flight path so the tranquility was not affected. Only 10-15 minutes from downtown Missoula, and located about halfway between two of the main National Parks, Yellowstone and Glacier.
If you are a fisherman then you're in for a treat! The Bitterroot, Clark Fork, Rock Creek and our favourite, the Blackfoot river are all only a short drive away,
We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked in for the last 3 nights of our 2-week fly drive fishing tour as we couldn't leave without fishing the Blackfoot one last time. Coming back to Butler Creek was much like coming home.
Highly recommended.

What Brexit, Trump And The Whole Of 2016 Can Teach First-Time Voters Going Into The 2017 General Election
It's been... interesting...
Politics seems to have taken a little bit of a weird turn recently. The referendum last June on whether or not Britain would Brexit (leave the EU) divided the whole country - with 51.9% voting to leave, and 48.1% voting to remain – and is now taking Britain away from the EU into unchartered territory.
Meanwhile, the most unlikely candidate EVER became President of the United States, and is now one of the most powerful people in the world.
It's been a bumpy ride, but the events of 2016 taught us a lot. Here are 6 things we have learnt:
1. Anything can happen
Donald Trump, a popular TV personality (basically the US Alan Sugar), became the President of the US despite having been accused of sexual assault by 15 different women in the lead up to the election and having actually been caught on film boasting about doing so, saying he liked to grab women "by the p*ssy".
Oh and he basically said that climate change isn't a thing and that he'd build a massive wall to keep Mexicans out of the US that they'd have to pay for themselves etc. Which makes as little sense as "covfefe".
It was an unlikely win in our minds... but it happened. And for those Americans who didn't want Trump but didn't vote? The moral of the story is: unless we all take action individually we have to live with the consequences of other peoples' decisions.
2. Young people aren't voting as much as they used to…
The number of young people voting hasn't always been this low – it's dropped.
The difference between 18-24s voting and 65-and-over voting was just 12% in 1992.
BUT, in the last election in 2015, the difference between the amount of youngies and oldies voting was 35% - less than half of 18-24-year-olds voted, while 78% of people aged 65 and over did.
Basically the same amount of older people are voting now as they always did – there's just been a drop in young people casting their votes.
3. The 2015 election could have resulted differently…
Historically, young people are more likely to vote Labour and older people are more likely to vote Conservative.
Let's think about it… around 11, 300,000 people voted Conservative, and 9, 300, 000 voted Labour in the 2015 election. That's a difference of two million. If 78% of young people voted (as many as over-65s did) instead of just 43%, the election could have had a very different outcome.
And if Labour had won David Cameron wouldn't have been able to call a EU referendum and Brexit would not be a thing (unless Labour called a referendum, that is). Which brings us to…
4. The referendum could have resulted differently…
The EU referendum in June 2016 had a huge turnout of voters across the board.
And that includes the amount of young people turning up to vote. More of them voted in the referendum than the 2015 election with a solid 64% rocking up at polling stations, according to a detailed polling by Opinium. More than 75% of these young voters chose to remain in the EU.
BUT a larger percentage of the older generations also turned up… with a whopping 90% of them casting their vote.
What if it had been 90% of young people turning up to vote? Considering that the vote to leave won by such a small majority, statistically, we'd definitely be more likely to be in the EU rn.
5. The world would look different if young people ruled
And we don't mean it would involve minimal education and maximum boozing (though, let's face it, it might do).
We mean that young people are generally speaking more open-minded and tolerant than older people, who are often more set in their ways thanks to living in a very different, more close-minded world to us.
In a global study by Viacom featuring more than 7000 16-24-year-olds around the world, 95% of global youth feel their generation believes in inclusion and equality. Young people are generally more about celebrating diversity and breaking down outdated perceptions of things like gender, race and religion.
And we need inclusion and acceptance in the UK now more than ever. We need young people taking more control and demanding their values are represented in politics. Cos if young people aren't turning up to vote, politicians will just do what the older generations, who will vote for them, want instead.
6. Older generations are deciding on the future of a country they won't witness
One of the biggest complaints from young people about the results of previous elections has been that older people, who turn up to vote in the masses, are actually deciding on the long-term future of Britain but won't necessarily be around to witness the consequences.
Pretty much every long-term political decision will affect young peoples' lives most in the long-run. So it should be them queuing up outside polling stations in the masses.
Basically if there's one thing we've learnt it's that every vote counts, and young people can seriously change things in the UK. So no excuses ppl.
So if you've just become eligible to vote make sure you do because it's the only way you can genuinely make a difference and have your say on the things that are important to you.
The election is on the 8th June, so make sure you check out where your nearest polling station is so you can prep for the big day!
Now here's a load of stuff you should probably stop complaining about if you cba to vote...

Justin Bieber absolutely thrilled Brazilian fans at Rio De Janeiro's Praca da Apoteose downtown venue with his "Purpose World Tour" on Wednesday night.
Based on video footage, social media, and reviews, the superstar's concert was incredible. Many noted the impressive live vocals of the singer.
Justin performed for over 40,000 fans in a hit-packed, visually sumptuous concert, which included amazing fireworks throughout, an "I love my Beliebers" declaration, and an emotional highlight when the pop icon wrapped himself in a Brazilian flag before singing his faith-inspired "Purpose" ballad.
Watch the clip below for a taste of how fans reacted to the Biebs' arrival onstage.
An engaged Bieber delivered bangers such as "Where Are U Now," "Sorry," "What Do You Mean," and a slew of older chart-toppers to the rapturous Brazilian audience, who sang along with every song and screamed excitedly throughout the Canadian's 90-minute extravaganza.
Fans' participation was particularly moving during the numinous "Life Is Worth Living" and the acoustic segment of the Grammy winner's show when he performed "Cold Water" and the worldwide smash "Love Yourself."
As one might expect in the concert of a former teenage idol, the younger generation got their traditional moment to shine during "Children," a Skrillex-produced track that also features on the Biebs' six-million-selling Purpose album.

At one point during the sold-out show, Justin told the audience, "Been an amazing crowd tonight, the energy is unbelievable. Today has been one of the best nights of my life."
Then, at another poignant moment, the singer said, "Thank you, Brazil! I love my Beliebers!"
There might not have been a dry eye in the house when the Biebs performed "Purpose" while wearing the Brazilian flag just before the concert encore.
When the pop star signed off at the end of his "Purpose" show, the evidently happy singer reportedly told the ecstatic crowd, "Tonight was one of the best nights of my life! Thank you for having me, Brazil!"
To date, Bieber has performed over 125 "Purpose Tour" concerts during his global trek. At the start of 2017, he upgraded to stadiums, reflecting the record-breaking success of his latest album. And it definitely seems as if the superstar loved every minute of his Rio show.
The Biebs' manager, Scooter Braun, raved afterwards in an Instagram post.
"He is a light. Proud of him. Incredible show and reaction in Brazil," he wrote.
After the show, Justin met two youngsters and their families through the Make-A-Wish foundation. The star has supported the organization since the start of his professional career back in 2009.
In a comment posted on Instagram, the girls described the Biebs as an "angel."

The "Love Yourself" star was also photographed in a car with friends, including Pastor Rich Wilkerson and two Brazilian females — Luciana Chamone, 23, and Marina Pumar, 21.
Local reports say the two females, who attended Bieber's show, were invited to an after-party held in the singer's honor with about 700 VIPs present at the Hotel Fasano in the South Zone of Rio De Janeiro.
Both ladies then went on to a private party with the singer and his friends at a luxe mansion in the Joatinga neighborhood. It is claimed Marina left the residence alone at around 8 a.m., and Luciana stayed on at the house.
Naturally, the rumor mill and fans went into overdrive since Justin Bieber is apparently not allowed to stand, sit next to, or talk to the opposite sex without thousands acting as if the sky has caved in.

The first of what Luis Buñuel later proclaimed a trilogy (along with "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" and "The Phantom of Liberty") about "the search for truth," "The Milky Way" daringly deconstructs contemporary and traditional views on Catholicism with ribald, rambunctious surreality. Two French beggars (Laurent Terzieff and Paul Frankeur), present-day pilgrims en route to Spain's holy city of Santiago de Compostela, serve as Buñuel's narrators for an anticlerical history of heresy, told with absurdity and filled with images that rank among Buñuel's most memorable (stigmatic children, crucified nuns) and hilarious (Jesus considering a good shave). Co-starring Delphine Seyrig, the film is co-written by Buñuel with frequent collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière. A diabolically entertaining look at the mysteries of fanaticism, "The Milky Way" remains a hotly debated work from cinema's greatest skeptic.
Dave Kehr in the Chicago Reader writes: "Released in France during the revolutionary uproar of 1968, Luis Buñuel's film takes the form of a religious parable — two pilgrims come across a range of figures from the history of Catholicism, including the devil and the Virgin Mary, as they make their way across the countryside. Buñuel is fascinated with the twists and turns of Catholic doctrine as only a fallen Catholic can be, and he constructs a series of elegant, witty paradoxes that parody theological argument while holding fast to its methods."
With an introduction and post-film discussion by Pier Marton, video artist and unlearning specialist at the School of No Media. Marton has lectured with his work at the Museum of Modern Art, the Carnegie Museum, and the Walker Art Center and has taught at several major U.S. universities.

He is 1) talented and 2) a winner. But does Hamilton add up to the real deal?
Even as I was watching Lewis Hamilton win the Canadian Grand Prix for the fifth time on the same afternoon, driving away from the rest of the field with quite extraordinary self-certainty every time the race was restarted, the words echoed in my head.
"And the frightening thing is that he can only get better." Words spoken to me by one of the most respected judges of such matters in his sport. A young guy, a matchless talent, a person whose outrageous precocity seemed guaranteed, absolutely guaranteed, to bring him a long career of serial success, taking England to the summit of the world and rewriting the record books at the same time.
He's got it all. The complete package, the real deal. We hear

Supreme Commander 2 is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game for the Xbox 360 and PC platforms – available via Steam. It was developed by Gas-Powered Games and published by Square Enix. It is a sequel to the first Supreme Commander (and expansion), and as such is set 25 years after the events in that game, but has many differences from it as well. Graphics are altered, units are merged or replaced, and the research structures have become a centralised research tree. The economy has also been simplified: players cannot queue more units than they have resources for. Instead of unlimited borrowing, your Supreme Commander now has a debit card.
Once again, the single-player mode is split into three campaigns: one for each race – the United Earth Federation (UEF), Cybran and Illuminate (dropping the Aeon prefix from the prequel). The ultimate aim of each campaign is to acquire a planet-killer super weapon for your faction. The tutorial is split into two stages: one covering basic moves and unit production; and the other more advanced tactics. The plot is advanced by pre-rendered cut scenes between missions and by conversations between the player character and NPC's.
These are accomplished by a communication window which appears in the top-right corner of the screen. As in the previous instalments, the player character is the titular "Supreme Commander", ensconced within an Armoured Command Unit or ACU. The ACU is a combination über-unit and construction worker – able to wade into combat against otherwise impossible odds and be equally at home building base structures. As in the first game the objective in skirmish/multiplayer is to destroy the enemy ACU(s), but if yours is destroyed, it's game over.
Units are built from 1 of 4 factories: Land, Sea, Air or Experimental. Experimental units are massively effective against targets, but have a very high resource cost attached. Factories can be upgraded with such additions as Shield Generators (protects against everything but nukes), Missile Batteries, Intel Centres (increasing line of sight), and more. Building units or structures requires resources, in the form of Mass and Energy. Mass Gatherers can only be built on certain sites, but Energy Generators can be built anywhere. Research points are granted over time, and by fulfilling objectives during missions.
The controls are fairly intuitive and on-screen tooltips are helpful without being intrusive. The emphasis on you being in command of your forces lends itself to the rotary interface. The camera can be instantly zoomed out to enter "Tactical Mode" – a satellite view of the entire map and force disposition. Units can be distinguished, selected and directed from this view. Units can also be set to a variety of stances, including Patrol, Attack, Guard and Capture, and this broadens the options open to the player during games.
Graphically, the game is a treat during missions. Textures are crisp and are rarely jagged. Colours are rendered with great clarity and the distinct palettes of each race make it easy to tell your units from the enemy when zoomed in. Sadly, some of the graphics used on the NPC's during cut-scenes leave a lot to be desired: hair is flat and two-dimensional, faces seem wonky. The plot is paper-thin, and the voice acting doesn't stand out. The musical score is suitably martial and rousing at turns, but in particular the voice of the instructor grates on the ear.
Supreme Commander 2 takes the core experience of its predecessor and not much else. A newcomer to Real-time Strategy will find it an excellent introduction before more meaty fare, but Total War this is not. If you are familiar with RTS or were a fan of the original, perhaps consider renting it before parting with your cash.
This game was reviewed on the PC.
In-game Graphics are beautiful, controls are slick, Intuitive interface.
Thin Plot, cut-scene graphics are patchy, simplified from predecessor
A newcomer to Real-Time Strategy will find it an excellent introduction before moving on to more meaty fare, but Total War this is not.

My Big Nose (and Other Natural Disasters) by Sydney Salter
In this debut novel, Jory has a nose comparable to those on Mount Rushmore and an inferiority complex to match. Determined to change her face (and therefore her life), she gets a summer job to pay for a nose job. Yet through a crazy series of events-- finding love, losing it, finding it, making friends, losing friends, discovering jewelry-- Jory has to rethink her life and what the problems in it really are.
The book was cute. There were many positive messages about body image and relationships, which I appreciated and thought were cool. Gideon was absolutely droll and you just wanted to snatch him right out of the book. Jory's incessant self-centeredness, though, was annoying for the first three-quarters. I had the feeling that if Jory was real, I wouldn't be friends with her, and that made reading her story harder. From a writing perspective, Salter had a decently developed point of view and there were few signs of the self-aware style of new writers in the book.
Overall: good beach read with positive messages.

"Mysterious" Budget Deficit Revealed: Fire the Finance Director
April 23, 2009 Leave a comment
The Miami Herald reports that the City of Coral Gables has a huge ongoing budget deficit for this fiscal year (October 2008-September 2009) that will require immediate staff firings.
City Manager Pat Salerno said Thursday he discovered the $9.2 million deficit — about 7 percent of the city's budget — last week and that he likely will eliminate jobs, among other measures.
Salerno also noted the city projects an estimated $7 million shortfall next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
Both figures could get worse after June 1 — when the property appraiser releases preliminary property values on which taxes are based.
"Those could go down," Salerno said, referring to an expection that property values decrease this year. "That could further increase the projected shortfall for next year."
The current budget shortfall is due to decreased revenues and increased personnel-related costs, said Salerno, who learned of the shortfall on Friday, the day two reelected commissioners were inducted.
There is strong concern among citizens that the deficit was "discovered" on the day of the re-election of the new commissioners. Among other things, it is possible that the outcome of the Sanabria-Anderson election might have changed if this budget shortfall was known at the time of the election.
It is surprising that any good finance director would not have known the existence of this deficit early in the fiscal year. In this regard, the Director of Finance would be a good candidate to be fired.

MONROVIA – June 14, 2019:- 37 participants have been awarded certificates following the completion of a five-day regional course on audit of Public Debt Management at the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL). The course, organized by the West African Institute for Financial and Economic Management (WAIFEM), was attended by executives, senior and middle-level officials from central banks, ministries of finance and economic planning, debt management, national audit, comptroller and accountant general offices from the Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
In his closing remarks, the Executive Governor of the CBL, Honorable Nathaniel R. Patray, III, spoke of the need to strengthen the sub-region's national audit offices and other public institutions. Historical evidence, Executive Governor Patray said, show the positive impact strong institutions and a sound policy framework have on a nation's capacity to sustain its debt and withstand "exogenous shocks." The CBL Executive urged national audit offices to play their roles in enforcing controls and protecting government's financial condition by promoting sound public debt strategies and risk management practices; data disclosure polices and effective supervisory-regulatory regimes for public financial management (PFM).
Executive Governor Patray hoped that knowledge acquired from the workshop would help participants from national audit offices and other public institutions in understanding public debt management and the effective approaches to conducting performance audits of public debt management. The Governor called for the swift application of the knowledge acquired in the sub-region's respective audit offices, pledging to ensure that the issues raised will claim the highest attention of Liberia's fiscal and monetary authorities.
On behalf of the Director General of WAIFEM, Dr. Baba Y. Musa, the Director of Research Department of the Institute, Mr. Alvin Johnson, lauded the Governor and his team for the warm hospitality according WAIFEM and the participants and hope knowledge acquired would be used to enhance the work of audit intuitions in the sub-region.
