I visited every shop in Edinburgh and way beyond and ended up getting my dress in Emma Roy. I had heard some negative reviews but went with an open mind and was so so pleased with the service I received.
I think I must have been served by every member in the shop at one point, not cause I'm an akward customer but because i kept asking what people thought and just got them all involved. Ruth, was really the one that helped me the most. She was so patient, helpful and truthful which was brilliant. I finally chose a Maggie Soterro dress which was ordered there and then, it came in on time, the dress fittings went well, (make sure you see Vanessa), the dress was ready for my pick up date. I had no problem whatsoever. I would highly recommend Emma Roy and still love my dress!

Luxembourgers head to the polls on Sunday to vote on the proposed EU constitution. After Dutch and French voters recently rejected the document, the outcome in the grand duchy is less than certain.
Not so EU-friendly any more?
At first glance, Luxembourg looks like it always does to any visitor: well-kept, European flags fluttering on numerous buildings, fresh geraniums planted in tidy flower beds. But below the veneer, trouble is brewing in Europe's most pro-EU country.
On July 10, voters go to the polls to decide the fate of the proposed European Union constitution. Lately, the most ubiquitous presence in the country are the pamphlets and posters of the anti-EU camp. Ask the pedestrians and you will discover that Luxembourg is no longer as Europe-friendly as it has been in the past.
"Nee" for "No" to the EU constitution on a wall in The Hague in May
"No" gathers momentum
In Luxembourg, opinion polls, by law, cannot be conducted beginning four weeks before a vote. The last survey in mid-June put opponents of the EU constitution at 45 percent, which is astounding considering that a few months ago more than 70 percent of voters in Luxembourg were going to vote "yes."
Guy Gibéryen from the populist Party for Democracy and Pension Equality, explained why he and his organization are opposed to the EU constitution.
Luxembourg led the EU for the first half of 2005
Explaining opposition
Luxembourgers, in increasing numbers, are echoing the same arguments used in France and the Netherlands to explain their opposition. André Kremer, from the Luxembourg Committee for a No-Vote, stated the reasons.
"Our criticism is based on four points," he said. "The first point is that the constitution was not conceived in a democratic way and is not democratic. Point two: it is not socially equitable. Thirdly, it is neoliberal and aims for totally open markets. And fourthly, it will militarize Europe."
A woman walks past campaign posters in reference to the referendum on the EU constitution in a street of Aix-en-Provence, southern France in May
"One would expect in a democratic country that the 'yes' and 'no' camps have the same resources," he said. "But that is not the case in Luxembourg. The 'no' camp gets nothing, while the government uses taxpayer's money for its massive 'yes' campaign. I'm convinced that this brainwashing will not work."
Blackmailing the electorate?
Juncker has threatened to resign
"The prime minister says he will resign," he said. "That's crazy. That, in itself, is a reason to vote 'no.' It's not about him. It's about Europe. I am deeply disappointed."
Viviane Reding
"For Luxembourg, there is no way around Europe," she said. "It is vital to be in the middle of Europe and participate in it."
European leaders are gathering in Brussels for a two-day summit to give the alliance new momentum. But can the EU extricate itself from its constitutional tangle? DW-WORLD.DE talked to Commissioner Viviane Reding. (June 17, 2005)
Late Thursday, EU leaders extended a deadline for ratifying the European Constitution. While it does little to solve the current crisis, many hope the reprieve will help the bloc re-channel its energies for the future. (June 17, 2005)
Hundreds of sheep have been taken to the foot of the Eiffel Tower in protest of increasing wolf attacks. Farmers say the government should be doing more to protect their livestock.
A new study has shown that Germany's social system experiences a financial gain because of immigration while at the same time accruing losses due to a lack of integration.
The European Parliament's resolution to break up Google is the wrong approach to increasing online competition, writes DW's Jörg Brunsmann. Making the Internet giant smaller doesn't make the competition bigger.
British crime writer PD James has died at the age of 94. She has been praised for bringing realistic modern characters to the classical detective story.

Fire guts home in Bangor, Northampton County
Updated On: Nov 25 2013 01:55:58 PM CST
The cold air proved to be quite a challenge for firefighters as they tried to put out a fire in Northampton County. The blaze destroyed a home, and left the family who lived there with only the clothes on their backs.
People living in Bangor woke up to a scare Sunday morning.
"I heard all the fire whistles going off," shared Mark Rouch.
Firefighters rushed to the scene, as thick dark smoke poured from a house on Market Street.
"Wasn't real bad when I first got here, but it got away from them real quick," Rouch explained.
The call came in around 6 a.m. The family of three renting the home were all able to make it out okay.
"Upon arrival we did see a lot of fire and smoke coming out of the left rear of the building," described Bangor Fire Chief Robert Engle.
Firefighters had it under control in about 45 minutes, leaving a blackened, burned out shell. But they say the high winds and frigid temperatures made fighting this fire even harder.
"We were afraid of the spread of fire because of the winds involved," added Engle. "But we were able to contain it just to this building."
The flames may have been intense, but outside it was bitter cold. Temperatures were below freezing, and with the wind chill, it felt like 7 degrees.
"Once the water hits everything, it just automatically freezes," said Engle. "We've got to keep water flowing so it doesn't freeze in the hoses, and it's just a big battle, it gets all over everybody, makes everything a lot worse."
Water froze on the firefighters, icicles dangled from the power line, and the sidewalks and street turned into sheets of ice. Salt was used to keep it from spreading. Engle says it was a challenge.
"With the ice on the ground, you can slip and fall," he shared. "It's just very hard to even maneuver and hold a hose and get equipment onto the scene because of the ice."
We're told two cats and a pet pig didn't survive the fire. The damage to the house is beyond repair.
"It appears it's going to be a total loss," explained Engle. "The roof caved in, a lot of damage inside, pretty much everything is gone."
"Prayers have to be with the people that live there, this close to Thanksgiving," said Rouch.
Officials say it's unclear what sparked the fire, but it does appear to be accidental.
The Red Cross provided a family of two adults and one child with clothing, shoes, seasonal garments, food and lodging.

Victoria Zegarelli demonstrates how to do Sochi Nesting Doll nail art.
1. Paint the nail with red polish. Draw a baby pink circle toward the top of the nail. Create the neckline with a wavy black line, as shown.
2. Draw mittens on each side of the nail with blue paint. Apply yellow at the top of the face for hair. Draw a black line to the right to create the coat. Draw three lines horizontally across the vertical black line. Paint five dots in the Olympic colors where shown.
3. Fill the center of the dots with smaller red dots to create the rings of the Olympic patch. Using black paint, draw a face; outline the face and hair. Draw shoulders connecting to the mittens. Draw small triangles on the ends of the horizontal lines. Paint a black line across the bottom of the tip and fill in. Create the shape of a hood at the top. Highlight the mittens with a light blue paint, and the hood with white paint. Lightly highlight the top of the arms and coat closures. Seal with top coat.

Size and having tea in room
The room was extremely hot even with the radiators off. The windows only opened an inch and whilst they where not letting much air in they did let a lot of noise off the busy road in. Better nights sleep in a tent! As for the shower cleanliness was perfect and the complimentary shower wash smelled amazing but no cold tap so came out red raw.
Room is big(bathroom,bed)
It's so noisy when you are in the second floor , can't really sleep
Very spacious room with Seaview, impressive heating and very nice bathroom
Non-existent WiFi a facility which should be mandatory these days
Entrance room and noise
Perfect location. Friendly staff who were happy to help. Comfy beds. Nice shower. Good fridge and working TV. Great value for money.
Lots of noise at half 5 in the morning. Dusty bed side table. When looked closely rooms not cleaned very well.
Hotel on sea front.
Room not cleaned each day.
The location is perfect. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our room was clean, spacious and warm. The beds were comfy. The bathroom was modern, big and everything worked.
The central heating was a bit noisy and the wifi signal poor, but we didn't really mind either.
Room was spacious and clean. Beautiful view of the beach.
The hotel was nice and close to the town the actual room was clean would stay again
The rooms was good and clean but the rest of the hotel was very dirty the carpet in the hallways was filthy
Good location by the sea, very clean room, towels and bedding. Friendly and helpful staff.
The shower in our room did not drain well so we had to wait half an hour between each shower to allow the water to drain. Can be a bit noisy with construction going on in the block just across the road.
Comfortable beds
Very nice 3rd floor room with sea view, recently refurbished. Very friendly staff and housekeeping found and returned my laptop charger after I left.
Wi-fi didn't work in the room at all - I choose hotels specifically with wi-fi so very frustrating. No hot water in the morning - only lukewarm.
We stayed at West Beach for one night with friends from abroad and had a great time. The room was perfect for a short trip a good size and very clean. The staff were friendly and very accommodating.
The hallway flooring could do with a clean .....
The bathroom looked very nice.
Lots of noice from the club downstairs. The floor of the room kept shaking from the music that was playing in the club. I went twice to the reception to ask how long it would last for. The 1st time they said until 11pm, and when I went downstairs for the 2nd time around midnight they finally offered to give me another room away from the club. Finally managed to fall asleep around 1am.
I like this hotel because of the great location at an affordable rate. Had an added bonus whilst staying this time to have a sea view. Very spacious rooms, staff always polite. Will definitely be booking again.
LOcation was quite good, ideally suited close to Aisan restaurants especially the Chineese China Garden (excellent food there!)
The place was quite dirty, hallways are poor decor, shabby stained carpets, with noisy guests - and its above a night club !! The cups in the room were stained and the floor level between the room and corridor were 2 inches difference - causing us to trip on entry... The Hotel seems like it is used a lot by Hen/Stag party groups?
i loved the location of the hotel, the room was spacous,
the road outside the hotel was extremely noisey and busy, so i found it hard to get a good nights sleep or have the windows open also the first night there the fire alarm went off at 04.43am set off accidently by 1 of the staff,
The room was not clean, there was a lot of dirt and dust in room.We even found items left by previous visitor,make up and nail varnish on floor. The window was cracked.The shower was very badly positioned in corner had to lean right to wall to wash. There was a lot of noise early due to building works oposite. overal not a pleasant stay.
The only thing we didn't like was that the decor in all of the hotel bar the rooms was very dated and in a poor state. It let the rest of the hotel down. Peeling paint, stained carpets and dirty walls
The rooms were really clean and well presented. We had a room at the front of the hotel with excellent views. The hotel seems to be in the process on investing in refurbishment and it is lovely and fresh where it has been completed. Not having book out until 11 am was nice for a more relaxing, less rushed weekend.
The room was very hot even with the windows open. The furniture was limited and no headboard or side tables meant that it was diffcult to sit and watch. TV or read. The lack of parking meant a huge extra expense, £20 per 24 hours at the nearest car park, so this and the breakfast suppliment, need factoring in if you are on a budget. The restaurant next door does bigger and cheaper breakfasts.
bathroom, living room,
single bed together,
On arrival I was a bit concerned as it felt 'hostely' but the room was sparkly clean, refurbished with lovely views of the sea. Even the towels were sumptuous.
It was a bit noisy from the road - but to be expected and worth it for the location and the sea view!
Good location, right on the seafront and very near to the city centre
It wasn't very clean - the windows especially were dirty and smeared, and there were mould patches on the beds and the carpet
Location, New Bathroom, Price, Staff!
Wifi signal was pretty bad in the room.
location view
no wifi in room poor tv signal missing night table

Oregon firm buys 6.7% stake in First Mariner
Send this to a friend
- Gary Haber
- Staff
An Oregon company has purchased a 6.7 percent stake in First Mariner Bancorp, making it one of the Baltimore bank's largest shareholders.
Medford, Ore.-based LTC Global Inc. bought 1.18 million First Mariner (NASDAQ: FMAR) shares at $1.15 a share, for a total $1.36 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. First Mariner, led by CEO Edwin F. Hale Sr., is the corporate parent of First Mariner Bank, the largest independent bank in Baltimore.
The April 12 purchase was through First Mariner's recently completed public stock offering, which raised a total of about $7 million for First Mariner. Separately, First Mariner sold an additional $3.9 million worth of stock in a rights offering to existing shareholders.
LTC Global, a privately held marketer of long-term care insurance, annuities, reverse mortgages and other financial and insurance products sold to seniors, became familiar with First Mariner during negotiations to purchase First Mariner's Next Generation Financial Services reverse mortgage business, said Daniel G. Schmedlen Jr., LTC's general counsel and vice president, in an interview Tuesday. The deal to purchase First Mariner's Next Generation unit is expected to close later this year. Terms of the price have not been disclosed.
LTC executives decided to purchase the shares because they were impressed with First Mariner's management and the direction in which the company is going, Schmedlen said. The shares were purchased purely as an investment.

The senior politician was speaking about the situation in the Ardoyne area of the city at the opening session of his party's annual conference.
"There must be a solution," Mr Dodds said on Friday.
"The solution comes through dialogue and it comes through common sense.
"We can't have a situation on our streets where people are feeling that there is no fairness, no justice in terms of their rights and about shared space."
A determination by the Parades Commission meant that the Twelfth return parade could not use the same route in the afternoon as it had for its outward morning journey, resulting in a stand-off.
A long-running protest camp has been established at Twaddell Avenue over the issue.
Mr Dodds added that people should be allowed to protest, as long as it was "respectful".

Operation Red Nose is back for a fourth year in Burlington.
Operation Red Nose (ORN) is a program devoted to the prevention of drinking and driving. It is a volunteer driving service offered during the Christmas season to all drivers who have been drinking or do not feel fit to drive their vehicle.
The ORN service is provided by driving teams comprised of three volunteers. Two of the volunteers, a driver and a navigator, ride with the client in the client's vehicle while the other volunteer, the escort driver, follows behind in the escort driver's own car.
The goal is to get the client to arrive home safely along with their own vehicle without the need for the client to retrieve their vehicle from another location the next day.
Others who volunteer for ORN work from a central location and provide services such as dispatching calls from clients to driving teams and organizing food and beverages for volunteers on duty.
St. John Ambulance of Burlington is the local sponsor.
The service is confidential and free but donations from clients are accepted. Net donations fund the operations of St. John Ambulance for programs like its advanced medical first responder training, therapy dogs and infant car-seat installation clinics.
Operation Red Nose was created in Quebec City in 1984. It has expanded to almost 100 communities in seven provinces with and more than 750,000 volunteers providing about 1.4 million rides home.
The Burlington-based Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, in partnership with the Ontario Safety League, sponsors the initiative provincially.
The program's participation has exploded locally since its first year.
The 2011 campaign saw 125 people give 3,937 volunteer hours to make 244 trips carrying 535 passengers, driving a total of 6,899 kilometres over eight evenings in December, including New Year's Eve.
In 2010, the operation's second year in Burlington, 100 volunteers drove more than 5,000 km to deliver 227 vehicles and 440 passengers safely to their destinations.
In 2009, the inaugural year here, more than 80 volunteers provided 200 rides.
ORN will be available in Burlington on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22 and 29, between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. each night.
Volunteers can work a partial shift if they prefer.
The person who drives the client's vehicle must be at least 21 years old. The navigator who rides with the driver and the escort driver must both be at least 19. There is no age limit for volunteers who work at ORN headquarters.
Drivers and navigators must undergo a police check.
ORN Burlington will pick up and deliver drivers to any address within Burlington, although it has delivered clients outside the city limits when feasible.
Drivers wishing to use the service should call 905-634-6665 or 905-634-0091.
Volunteers must complete a registration form. Download the form from www.operationrednose.com. Click on the volunteer section and use the drop-down box to select Burlington.
You can also e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call St. John Ambulance at 905-634-6665, or Gary Jack, volunteer co-ordinator for Operation Red Nose, at 905-516-1513.

IM GLOBAL to Finance Steven Knight's LOCKE, Starring Tom Hardy
IM Global specialty label Anthem will fully finance LOCKE, to be written and directed by Steven Knight (Hummingbird) and starring Tom Hardy (Inception) for Paul Webster, Joe Wright and Guy Heeley's Shoebox Films.
Based on an original screenplay from Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things) LOCKE is the story of one man's life unraveling in a tension-fuelled ninety minute race against time. Ivan Locke has the perfect family, his dream job, and tomorrow should be the crowning moment of his career. But one phone call will force him to make a decision that will put it all on the line.
LOCKE begins production in London, England later this month. Paul Webster and Guy Heeley will produce.
IM Global, Shoebox and Knight previously collaborated on HUMMINGBIRD, to be released by Lionsgate later this year.
Paul Webster said "Tom Hardy and Steve Knight are two of the most exciting talents working today so Guy and I are really excited to be able team up with them and our friends at IM Global on this unique project"
Said IM Global CEO Ford: "We enjoyed the ride with Steven, Paul and Guy so much that we're delighted to be in business with the same team on LOCKE. Adding a brilliant talent like Tom to the equation makes the prospect all the more exciting."
Said Knight, "I'm really excited to be working with Tom Hardy on an innovative piece of filmmaking which will exercise his immense talent to the full. That IM Global are coming with us on this literal and metaphorical journey is testament to their creative ambition".

I am thankful for my husband.
My hubby, who would rather remain picture-less in the blog world, is a wonderful husband, father and my best friend.
We have been married for 17 years (got married at 19 & 21-young, I know!) and have been together for almost 22 years. He isn't perfect, though I am guessing I am not either. We make it a priority to have date nights once in a while, time each day to talk (even if it is only a few minutes) and we pray for each other.
We don't always agree, but we manage to have a give and take most of the time. He leads this household well and works hard. He also is my listening ear and my shoulder to cry on. I am very grateful for him and his love for God, me and our children.
Do you need encouragement when it comes to your relationship with your husband? My husband and I have studied many books, listened to many sermons on marriage and sought out advice from those we respect.
Here are some of the books I recommend: Feminine Appeal: Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother, The Excellent Wife: A Biblical Perspective and The Power of a Praying Wife.
It's day two. What are you Thankful for?

It feels weird to write a story about nothing happening, but after recent events it seems important--criticism where necessary, but credit where it's due. I went into Far Cry 4 with a fair bit of trepidation after last week's disastrous Assassin's Creed: Unity launch, especially since Ubisoft wasn't handing out Far Cry 4 review codes to PC sites. It seemed like it could be a sign of bad things to come.

Los Angeles Clippers PF Blake Griffin Has Developed a Solid Jump Shot
Throughout his career, Los Angeles Clippers power-forward Blake Griffin has been criticized for things like being too soft, not being able to make a free-throw and only being good for highlight dunks. This season, Griffin has stepped his game up to the next level and is emerging as one of the best power-forwards in the league. He is averaging a monster 22 points and 10.3 rebounds per game and continues to wow nearly everyone with his incredible athletic ability.
A key part of Griffin's success this season has been his ability to knock down mid-range jump shots. In the past, Griffin has shot badly from outside of about 12 feet. This year, however, the power-forward is doing a much better job of shooting and making these shots. When comparing his shot charts from last season to this one, there is a marked difference in his shooting percentage. In the 2012-13 season, Griffin converted a measly 34 percent of his shots when shooting between 16 and 24 feet. So far this season, though, the Oklahoma alum is shooting 40.8 percent from the same distance; that's almost a seven percent difference. Griffin has also become more confident in his mid-range shot as evidenced by his shot selection. Last season he only took 17.9 percent of his shots from that 16 to 24 foot range, whereas this season he has taken 28.7 of his shots from there.
Griffin has also proven he can get a little hot from mid-range in games as well. In a New Year's Day win against the Charlotte Bobcats this season, he knocked down eight of his 11 shots, including a three-pointer, from 16 feet or further on his way to 31 points on 14-of-20 shooting for the night.
This new-found jump shot makes Griffin even harder to guard than he was before. It now forces big men to come out and deny his shot which stretches the floor and makes the Clippers' offense run even more smoothly than before. If he is guarded out on the wing, his quickness combined with his size and jumping ability make him a dangerous threat to all defenders near the paint as he has the ability to put it on the floor and take it to the hoop.

The Fields Near Varshana
By Bhurijana dasa
Hare Krsna. In 1976 in Vrindaban, a devotee asked this of Srila Prabhupada on a morning walk:
"The devotees are asking one question. They're wanting to know how it was that even though there is so much distance between, let's say, Govardhana and Radha-kunda and Vrndavana, Nanda-grama, Varsana, how it was that still Krsna and Radha could go and meet, and the cowherd boys could go and meet at these various places. They could go such great distances."
Srila Prabhupada's reply: "That is distance for you, not for them. Just like a small ant. It goes from here to here. It is a great, three hundred miles, but for you, one step. Why do you study Krsna like you? Why do you think that Krsna was like you? Avajananti mam mudha manusim tanum asritam [Bg. 9.11]. Krsna can do anything, so (can) His associates."
Simple but profound truth spoken concisely. Krsna, His associates, and the holy land of Vrindaban are extraordinary, transcendental, and are not limited by the limitations of this world.
In Sri Vrindaban dham, everything and everyone, including time, act solely for the pleasure of Krsna. Sri Prabodhananda Sarasvati therefore instructs us as he so sweetly glorifies the land of Vrindaban:
"The lotus feet of Sri Caitanya are far away, and the formidable age of Kali has arrived. Therefore how can one obtain love for Sri Krsna without having intense attachment for the land of Vrndavana?"
"When will I reside in Vrndavana like a helpless person while glorifying the transcendental pastimes of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, while condemning material enjoyment because of achieving supreme bliss within the heart, and while loudly crying out, "O my dear Lord! O Shyamasundara!"
"Although nectar is available, I drink poison. Although I have beautiful eyes, I am practically blind. I always increase my material bondage, which is the cause of misery. O mother Vrndavana, my only hope in life is that you are most affectionate, therefore you will pull me out of worldly association and give me shelter on your lap."
Ref. VedaBase = Morning Walk Excerpt — April 2, 1976, Vrndavana

Christie Matrix StIM⢠Projectors: The Clear Choice For US Army's AMRDEC
Christie®, an innovator in projection displays for simulation and visualization, was the âclearâ? choice for the US Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) with a revolutionary DLP® and LED solution for its Battlefield Highly Immersive Virtual Environment (BHIVE). AMRDEC replaced its aging, conventional lamp-based projectors with six Christie Matrix StIM⢠projectors. Christieâs excellent reputation in the military and simulation industries, and its position as the first to deliver an LED solution that keeps performance up and operating costs down, were key deciding factors.
AMRDEC, housed within Redstone Arsenal â 'the heart of the Armyâs rocket and missile programs,â â is the Armyâs focal point for providing research, development, engineering and technology, and services for aviation and missile platforms. The BHIVE is just one of AMRDECâs capabilities. Itâs where cockpit configurations, within Engineering Analysis Cockpits, are evaluated using an outside view of a terrain now powered by six Christie Matrix StIM projectors. The screen provides a 70-degree vertical and 180-degree horizontal field-of-view (FOV), with the dome accommodating five cockpit simulators, each representing a different aircraft. The addition of Christie AutoCal⢠and Christie MotoBlend⢠renders a 180-degree, calibrated, seamless scene.
"The projectors in the Battlefield Highly Immersive Environment within the US Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center's Advanced Prototyping, Engineering and Experimentation Laboratory were about 10-years old and nearing the end of their lifespan. We decided it was necessary, in order to continue accomplishing our mission, that we invest in new display technology and purchased six Christie Matrix StIM LED-based projectors," said Merv Brokke, AMRDEC spokesperson.
"When Army Aviators conduct missions in the BHIVE's various cockpit simulators, it is vital that our engineers and scientists present them with realistic virtual flight scenarios using high-resolution and highly realistic visualizations, so the resulting test data is valid and can be used towards improving current and developing future technologies for Army Aviation.â?
For example, the APEX 2 LAB creates an environment using true-to-life virtual landscapes to evaluate the Pilot-Vehicle interface issues with the proposed cockpit changes. So it is very important to AMRDEC that the outdoor terrain scenes appear as they would in the actual environment and under the same conditions.
This is especially the case when pilots engage in scenarios with highly detailed databases serving as true-to-life visual landscapes. Itâs crucial that the out-of-the cockpit view accurately represents the location where the pilot is flying the mission.
The Christie Matrix StIM projectors have also been performing well during crew station working group meetings (CSWG). These experimental sessions draw on the expertise of many people including engineers, user representatives and operational pilots who remotely observe what the pilot sees inside and outside the cockpit and how the pilot performs. These âtest factorsâ allow pilots to fly as near-to-real missions as possible.
A typical CSWG lasts up to four consecutive days with the Christie Matrix StIM projectors beaming outdoor images onto the dome seven hours each day.
âChristie is proud to offer AMRDEC a purpose-built solution that delivers the most accurate analysis and training that prepares pilots for success in the field,â? added Zoran Veselic, vice president for Visual Environments at Christie. âThe Christie Matrix StIMâs solid-state DLP® platform, with LED illumination rated at 50,000 hours MTBF, supports AMRDECâs goals to provide the most realistic training possible. The solution is âgreenâ and keeps operating costs down, while keeping pilot performance up.â?

Corey Chance
Operations Flight Commander & Deployed Officer in Charge
Little Rock Air Force Base
Age: 28
Corey Chance
Air Force Capt. Corey Chance is not an Arkansas native and she's not living in Arkansas right now. She is currently on a seven-month tour somewhere in "the Gulf region," where she is the officer in charge of 27 airmen work- ing on "large-scale construction projects" like hangars and armories.
When she returns to the Little Rock Air Force Base, she will resume oversight of the 165-person team, both military and civilian, that maintains base infrastructure — buildings, electrical systems, roads, water and wastewater.
Being a young woman manager in such male-dominated fields as engineering and the military might sound like a recipe for conflict. Chance says it's not.
"A lot of the older men have prior military service, and they understand military service. I never really have an issue with being a woman," she said. "Everyone who works for me is extremely hard working and dedicated to what they do, so there's a lot of mutual respect."
Chance is originally from Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., and she studied civil engineer- ing at the University of Wisconsin on an ROTC scholarship. She then went straight into the Air Force, as was her plan since high school, and has served six years of what she expects will be a career of at least 20. Her husband is an Air Force C130 pilot, and the LRAFB is the hub for C130s.
Chance has coached kids' sports throughout her time in the Air Force, and this year her husband helped her coach basketball for 5- and 6-year-olds on the base.

So, that was fun. One minute we're promised a half dozen toss up races to determine control of the United States Senate, and the next Democrats are ducking under their desks as Massachusetts and Maryland elected Republican governors.

I worked at ABM IndustriesPros
It's a good stable company, although they are starting to implement more cost cutting measures. The management is very laid back and generally, people are very easy going. Many people at ABM get offices, which is unusual these days. The 401k plan vests immediately.Cons
Benefits are not that good and they used ancient systems. ABM only gives 2 week vacation for new hires. The company is still running on citrix, which often goes down for hours at a time. In addition, you can't install any application on your computer. ABM's compensation is below the mid range and in this competitive marketplace, they simply won't attract good candidatesAdvice to ManagementAdvice
To interact more with the mid level employees and to pay people more. .

Ernest Hemingway, KGB Agent?
In one of the more shocking bits of recently uncovered literary history, a new book alleges that American Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway worked as a KGB agent in the 1940s.
According to the Guardian, the new book "Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America" includes the author on a list of KGB agents in the United States. The book rests on KGB files researched by former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev, one of three co-authors of the Yale University Press title.
Here's more from the article, summarizing Hemingway's part in the book: "[He was] given the cover name 'Argo,' and 'repeatedly expressed his desire and willingness to help us' when he met Soviet agents in Havana and London in the 40s. However, he failed to 'give us any political information" and was never 'verified in practical work.'" (Via Fiction Circus)

Good Evening Everyone. Hope you all had a Fantastic Friday. It was cold and windy today. Tomorrow it is to be warmer and nicer with the sun shinning. Today I did my meditations, visualizations, mirror work, tapping exercises. I am so glad the weekend is upon us. Sadly, I could wish my life away to have the weekends here. It is because I can have more time to enjoy with my husband. My depression is starting to lift from me, Thank God to all the positive music, recordings from Hay House and sharing how I am feeling to make me accept where I was at and move on with gratitude. Today I had my mentoring session from Liana Werner-Gray of the Earth Diet. I have to say, as disobedient as I am at times, she never gives up on me. She is always encouraging me to exercise, juice, and juice some more and have more green salads. I know it is the right things to do, so why do I sabotage myself? Don't get me wrong, I have come a very very long way and improved my health, eating & improved my weight loss success. Sometimes I just feel like it is never going to end. The struggles of losing the weight the negativity, the living in the past instead of the Now is like an addiction with a monkey on my back. But This to Will Come To Pass. So my goal for this week is to get more exercising in, and go to the gym at least two times this week. Do more walking and standing. Don't sit longer than a half an hour. Add Juice and more smoothies to my daily intake. I know I can do this. Especially now that the holidays are coming if I fill up on Juice and smoothies, I will not be tempted to eat more unhealthy food, or even to much healthy food.
From NaturalNews-Most Natural News readers are sufficiently wary of the terms natural or all-natural on packaged foods, even in health food stores. Too many who aren't aware think that natural means "organic" or at least "GMO-free." Surprise, not only are they not organic, but they often contain some GMOs.
Consumers are being misled by the "natural" label, reported Urvashi Rangan, PhD, executive director of the Food Safety and Sustainability Center of Consumer Reports. Although there were no issues with packages marked "organic" or "non-GMO," packages marked "natural" were not organic, and many of them contained GMOs. And most of the unmarked packages also contained GMOs.
Exposing the food industry's misleading label racket
The report included 80 samples of products with any amounts of soy or corn found in cereals, chips and even baby formulas. Many products that are not totally soy or corn contain some element of either one, and either one can be genetically modified. Partial GMO is GMO.
The Consumer Report limit line for whether it should be labeled GMO was just under 1 percent (0.9) GMO in the whole product, which is the EU standard used to require GMO labeling. None of the items labeled "organic" or "non-" or "no GMOs" exceeded that mark. Most of the items marked "natural" did.
Interestingly, this Consumer Reports testing result came out just as the Grocers Manufacturers Association has begun pushing for loosening federal policies on label rules to allow labeling foods "natural" that are known to have GMO contents. Why would they do that?
Some of the Association's over 300 member companies have been sued for not revealing GMO content when their product labels showed "natural" or "all-natural", and this Association must protect their food production and grocer clients by changing the rules instead of curbing their enthusiasm for deceptive marketing.
Several of those company members in the Grocers Manufacturers Association have been among the biggest financial contributors against GMO-labeling legislative proposals in every state that goes to the ballot over the issue. Now you know why. Most of their packaged and processed foods contain some levels of GMOs.
Let's face it, most American consumers want only cheap, tasty foods served quickly and easily. They don't care about GMOs or dangerous pesticides and herbicides or how dairy cows are fed. If you observe a fast food drive-thru lane around the end of a work day you'll see their priorities.
Maintaining their expensive SUVs and getting home from working their jobs with fast food to watch Monday Night Football or Dancing with the Stars. Food quality is not an American thing, and that won't be changed soon. So is all the hassle and expense of campaigning for GMO labels really worth it?
First of all, a labeling system is already in place. It's from the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit third party that tests processed foods for GMO content; if clean, their packaging gets their Non-GMO Project's blue and green with orange butterfly logo to certify that it's GMO-free. Even some organic food sources can be contaminated.
Sure, the Non-GMO Project labels are mostly confined to health food store products. But those stores have more folks shopping who do care about avoiding GMOs. So there's where raising money should go, to an independent third-party product survey and testing group, and for buying those products that have the verification labels.
Those food industry people have plenty of money to throw at consumers bringing GMO labels to ballot on a state level who have to dig into their own pockets. Consumer campaign efforts require a lot of effort from volunteers, while the hired PR boys simply do their disinformation campaigns on a gullible public, as they normally do, and profit.
It's like the school yard bully with 25% more reach and height who puts one hand on a kid's head while yawning with the other as the good kid continues swinging at the air between the two of them.

I am grateful I meditated. I am grateful I did my visualization exercises. I am grateful I did my mirror work. I am grateful I did my Tapping exercises. I am grateful I am doing my blog for almost a year. I am grateful I am aware of my emotions, feelings and losses. I am grateful I am not giving up when my emotions are trying to sabotage me. I am grateful I will NOT Give up on Myself. I am grateful I am able to raise money thru my crowdrise website below to give the new book to people with health challenges. I am grateful I am keeping up with the new meditation. I am grateful I am aware of my sadness. I am grateful Life Loves me. I am grateful I Love Life. I am grateful I accept myself as I am. I am grateful it is Friday. I am grateful it is the beginning of the weekend. I am grateful I have learned so much about myself, physical and emotional health. I am grateful I will have a new day tomorrow to learn more and feel better physically. I am grateful I have positive loving family and friends. I am grateful I ate nutritional foods. I am grateful I am raising my vibration. I am grateful I helped other people today. I am grateful I am working toward a goal. I am grateful The Earth Diet Book is now out and available for everyone. I am grateful I have a new weight loss goal. I am grateful I appreciate myself and the progress I have made this past year.
PLEASE DONATE with your kindness & generosity with donating any amount you can to the special fundraiser to help people in hospitals transform lives. On December 10, 2014 we are going to our Local Manhasset Schools to donate a couple of books for their use in teaching kids about the nutritional value of clean, healthy food. Please help us to donate to more schools and organizations. Be a Earth Diet Angel and donate on the below web page. The holidays are also a great time to give a book as a gift to people with health challenges or just want to live longer

The Runners Shop Twilight Series is heating up! And not just
because summer is only just around the corner. Next Wednesday at Campbell Park
both orange courses will feature a tough "King of the Mountain" leg, a test of
any runner's hill climbing ability. Bushflyer and local elite Lachlan Dow has set courses
with enjoyment in mind, as well as one control containing almost the entire
course climb. The incentive for running fast to this control is a bottle of
wine and a voucher entitling one free entry to any ACT Twilight Series or
Saturday Series event for the fastest male and female split. The leg is only on
orange 1 and the split times will be handicapped, so the field is wide open.
For the under twelve competitors on the green course there is prizes for the
fastest girl and boy as well.
We hope to see you there!
