"Very happy with my purchase of Stenciled Scholar announcements. Had them done in red with a black and white photo (school colors). Love the stencil look. Great quality! Got lots of compliments."
"The only real problem with this card was trying to decide which design to use. The quality of the paper is very nice. It feels and looks expensive. Very easy to use as well. I love using Tiny Prints."
"My friends who received the announcement were VERY impressed by the clarity of the pictures, the colors and the quality of the paper stock used. Best of all, the order came 5 days before the estimated delivery time and that made all the difference in the world for my ability to get them addressed and mailed out! This is the second time I have ordered product from Tiny Prints and both experiences have been seamless and fast without compromising the quality of the card. If you have a special announcement or creative card you want to send, this is the company you want! Worth every penny:)"
"I really liked the design of this card, and it was very easy to use. The paper quality was just right, and there were enough choices to personalize it. I would recommend more color than the photo I chose. Picking the special envelopes didn't show up until the very end of the order confirmation, and I spent more time trying to figure that out. I guess in my mind that would show up earlier in the ordering process."
"I am a first time customer and am so pleased with my order. The professional editing was perfect and they incorporated all my requests. The order came a week early. I will continue to recommend using Tiny Prints!!!!"

|Hi, everyone! My name is Adrienne and I have been reading your incredible stories for probably well over a year now! I've always thought about/wanted to share mine and introduce myself...but just never could do it...don't know why, really. Anyway, today is the day...and again I don't know why it is.
It'll be five years ago on April 6th that I lost my only sister. She died from complications during childbirth. It was a planned C-section and to this day we really don't know what happened...all reports and investigations said it was a "complicated medical case", whatever that means.
Because it was a planned C-section she was able to pick a date and therefore picked April 6th because it was also our only brother's birthday...so yes...my sister died on my brother's birthday giving birth to a beautiful baby girl who luckily lived and now shares the same birthday as her uncle.
As you can imagine...it has been awful! And although my own grief seems unbearable at times...what is worst to me is watching the grief that my parents have endured. It's amazing to me how much they have actually physically aged in the past 5 years.
The loss has kinda screwed me up in other ways, too. For one thing I am 35 years old and my DH and I have no children. We were starting to plan when Laura died...but I became "shell-shocked" and kept putting it off. I was afraid not only for myself (even though my intellect tells me that the chances of the same thing happening are very slim) but I am afraid for my parents as well. I can't imagine telling them I'm pregnant and knowing that it will be so very bitter-sweet for them. Too many bad memories.
Also, I tend to be OBSESSED with death. My brother had a heart attack at the age of 35 (almost 8 years ago). He is ok but I have this irrational fear that something will happen to him...I can't bear the thought of anything else happening in our family...I can't bear the thought of my parents losing another one of us...I can't bear the thought of being the only one left! It's crazy, I know. And it's definitely not a way to live..but I can't help it. The worst part is...I'm a Social Worker...I work with people everyday who have "issues" like this...I can identify them in myself but can't seem to do anything about it for myself!
Lastly is the guilt that I harbor. The guilt for the not as close as I wish it was relationship with my sister (although we had been working on that the last few months of her life). I also feel constantly guilty for not seeing/talking to her children enough. The situation is very complicated...too complicated to get into now...but it makes it difficult to see/talk to them sometimes. I think I need to be a better aunt..but it's just so hard sometimes.
Anyway, I know I am rambling...and after all this time of lurking I finally decide to "come out" and now it's all a mess...I'm sorry.
Thank you all for "listening".

|Hi Adrienne!
We are so glad you are a poster now instead of a lurker! Thank you for sharing your story. I know you still miss your sister terribly, and how it makes your heart ache to see your parent's pain.
Would it be possible to stay in touch with your sister's children with cards, maybe mailing little packages now and then?
|Oh, Adrienne, your story isn't a mess—at least not the way you wrote it. Life is certainly messy. But I'm sure we can all relate to things you're going through, if not the exact circumstances.
It seems so unusual to die in childbirth these days. What a terrible shock for everyone on a day that was supposed to be completely filled with joy.
I think for your own sake as well as the children's, you should make whatever effort you need to in order to establish a relationship with them. I have the feeling that once you get over the hump, whatever's causing it, you'll find it progressively easier to maintain and expand contact.
And I hope you'll continue to share openly on this forum.

|Adrienne, I am so glad you chose to join in. I am very sorry for this most difficult loss for you. All of your emotions may seem irrational to you, but trust me, they are not. Have you been able to establish a relationship with the baby girl that was born? I am sure she could really use her aunt to tell her wonderful stories about her mother. And having that bond with her may help you in dealing with your sisters death. There are no easy answers...but I think it is important to share what you are feeling. I am glad you stepped in here and hope you share more. Tell us about your sister.
|Thank you for posting your story. I came here trying to feel something besides lonliness and desperately missing my brothers... the first thing I read reminded me I'm not alone. My big brother had a son, and knowing him is a blessing... he carries his father's spirit. I'm so glad he's with us. I hope you can find solace in your sister's children, too.

|Thanks, everyone...I was in quite a mood when I wrote the OP. I'm feeling better today...even after 5 years we seem to have our moments or days...anyway, I didn't mean to sound as if I don't have any relationship with my nieces and nephew. In fact, I do...I just don't get to see them as much as I would like. THey live 4+ hours from me and I'm in Grad school. But I'll be graduating in May and will have a lot more time to go and visit. I just feel guilty sometimes that I don't get up there enough. And YES...there are many other circumstances that make contact akward at times...but we get through them on the most part.
Again, I am so grateful for those of you who responded and showed such kindness. I will definitely not be so shy anymore and will check in on you all. You are all such an amazing bunch of people...compassionate, strong, and expressive.
Thank you again,

Spain is healthiest country in EU

• People can expect to live longer in Spain
Do you have news for us?
Click to contact the newsdesk!
PEOPLE living in Spain are officially the healthiest in Europe.
According to the European League Table, comprised of data collected over a 20 year period by medical journal, Lancet, Spain is the healthiest place to live compared with 18 other countries in the EU.
Ranking number one for life expectancy, Spanish residents live for an average of 81.4 years-two years longer than people living in Britain.
They can also expect to enjoy up to 70.9 years of good health, compared with only 68.6 years of healthy life for the average Brit.
The UK was left lagging behind in 12th place behind Greece, Ireland and Germany.
A combination of factors has been attributed to the results including healthy eating, attitudes to drinking and a warmer climate.

maybe attitudes to work as well-less stress…..
March 5th, 2013 4:51 pm
I'm not sure if people trying to live and work in Spain are stress free Steve. If you mean the attitude to work is do as less as possible, then yes, that must help lol.
March 5th, 2013 5:51 pm
I want to live in Spain.
March 5th, 2013 7:57 pm
If you can live with the spanish mentality which knows no rhyme nor reason.
March 6th, 2013 8:14 am
Lancet is a highly respected medical journal. If Lancet says this, I believe it.
I live in Andalucía (unlike some other regulars, I live in Spain) and can vouch for everything in that article. I moved here just over 5 years ago and feel that it has already added several years to my life expectancy.
Maureen, if you can, come.
March 6th, 2013 9:24 am
Good climate and an opportunity to eat well with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit. Just seeing the sun most days gives a boost to your outlook.
March 6th, 2013 11:05 am
"I … feel that it has already added several years to my life expectancy"
But has it really Tony? Moving to a country surely cannot increase life expectancy, by itself. If you lived in Spain all of your life, ate healthily and had a laid back attitude and no stressful job etc, then maybe it would increase life expectancy. You cannot escape your previous lifestyle just by moving lol.
March 6th, 2013 1:12 pm
Fred, have we met? No, I thought not. Nonetheless you seem to know me better than I know myself.
March 6th, 2013 2:34 pm
How do you know we haven't met? I might be your neighbour.
Anyway, I take it that you agree that just moving to a country is unlikely to increase life expectancy? One has to take into account one's entire life (diet, lifestyle etc) surely?
March 6th, 2013 4:20 pm
Fred, my goodness do you ever write anything postive. Yes, moving can bring about change to your life expectancy. People tend to adapt to the new environment thus creating a different lifestyle and habits which can improve one's health greatly (that's if it is a healthy lifestyle).
March 6th, 2013 6:48 pm
"Yes, moving can bring about change to your life expectancy."
Got any proof of that Christine? It's one thing to write positively, and another to just make stuff up lol.
March 6th, 2013 8:25 pm
Sorry to disappoint you Fred but I don't write to make stuff up and I also don't troll articles to always write negative comments. Check out info on Vilcabamba which proves a point. Also I personally have had great health improvements as well. Here's to a long healthy and happy life to all of us. Have a good one.
March 6th, 2013 9:28 pm
Christine, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Furthermore, the article was based on research carried out by Lancet, and I quote "…comprised of data collected over a 20 year period by medical journal, Lancet…"
Of course Lancet may have made the whole thing up, but I doubt it.
I have never read anything positive written by Fred in the Olive Press comments sections. All I read are snide attacks. Maybe it´s time to rethink the Olive Press´s corporate approach to censorship.
March 6th, 2013 10:57 pm
Someone really wrote "comprised of…"?
One has to doubt the veracity of an article that could commit that heinous grammatical error…
March 6th, 2013 11:26 pm
Some of the brits I have seen smoke more and drink more and do less excercise so whilst the Spanish may live longer with thier manana attitude I reckon a lot of the brits die earlier in Spain!!!
March 6th, 2013 11:50 pm
Maybe to retire in Spain would increase life expectancy but owning a business here and doing things right has taken years off my life for sure. Someone once told me that Spain is a good place to retire as long as you dont have to deal with tax offices, town halls and schools, how true that is.i In my business life I have loads of competition in the town where I live but nothing compares to my main competition which is the government and state
March 6th, 2013 11:53 pm
Sometimes yes Fred needs censoring … And sometimes we do, but hey, I think he has raised some valid points.
Interesting discussion…and yes, it was the Lancet and not the Daily Mail.
March 7th, 2013 10:54 am
Quite hilarious that because Tony and Christine don't agree wirh my viewpoint, they instead want to censor the discussion. Tony wouldn't know a snide attack if it bit him on the bum lol. What an over reaction.
The Lancet is well respected, but it's not definitive. Moving to a warm country can certainly improve health and assist some medical conditions (like arthritis etc) but to leap from that to increasing life expectancy is a big leap. I agree that if you live in Spain from birth and eat a healthy diet and have no stress, e.g. become a goat herder, you'll probably live a bit longer.
My personal view is that Spain stresses out many expats and actually decreases their life expectancy. Retiring and living/working, as Mark correctly points out, are such different things.
March 7th, 2013 2:40 pm
I'd rather live in the sunshine being able to go OUTSIDE than huddled up out of the cold and rain stuck INSIDE looking at a gas fire back in the uk. Ignore any put downs and celebrate living in a healthier climate. Also best to ignore Fred too.. he poison's people's minds on this website! not the best social skill to have is it… Viva España!
March 7th, 2013 3:22 pm
I reckon Mr Positive is Roger, I knew he would be back!! It makes sense doesn't it, if you have had 65 bad years in the UK, smoking, drinking and stressed out, you don't just get another few years extra because you moved to Spain. On the TV this morning, someone stated that vegetarians live longer, but that is not because they are vegetarians, it is because most vegetarians exercise more, don't smoke as much and are more careful about their health.
March 7th, 2013 4:47 pm
Fred, I never said anything about censoring you. I do not agree with your negative snide remarks(on everything) but it is your right to state your opinion, as it is my right to state mine. The point is…everyone has his/her personal accounts on the health issue,what works for them-works for them.
Thank you Tony and there is nothing wrong with your use of "comprised of" it is simply a matter of writing style.
As always, have a good one.
March 7th, 2013 5:17 pm
Christine, I am prepared to own up to anything I have either said or done. However, I never used the term "comprised of". I merely quoted it from the source.
And that source? The original Olive Press article!
Fred claims to know a lot about me, even though we have never met. Indeed he goes as far as suggesting he might be my neighbour. And that tells you everything about how well he knows me, or rather where I live.
March 7th, 2013 5:29 pm
Mr Positive didn't mention that Andalucia is currently underwater with many severe weather warnings lol. Winter in Spain can be just as bad as the winter in the UK, but not if you believe "A place in the Sun" lol.
Christine, I'm glad you agree that my experiences of living in Spain are not any less valid than yours.
March 7th, 2013 5:35 pm
Putting "lol" at the end of a sentence is both adolescent and repetitive.
March 7th, 2013 8:55 pm
Try little Portugal, and particularly the Algarve…..freshest of air, washed by the Atlantic, same for fish and local fruit. Nothing so easy as 'tranquilo'! Food on the charcoal grill….Vinho Verde and thousands of Tinto's for the fussy.
Only you can screw that up!! Everything takes longer here than anywhere…..but we do come over the Guadiana for more 'alegria' when needing a 'kick'!
March 8th, 2013 9:54 am
You're such a friendly neighbour Tony lol.
March 8th, 2013 11:10 am
er.. who's Roger?
It's better weather in Spain over the whole year. You can't argue against that. This time of year you get storms as the temperature changes. It's just hot air (Fred) meeting colder air.
March 8th, 2013 6:49 pm
@Mr P: You don't just get storms this time of year, the excessively wet weather can run from December to May in Andalucia. It has for all the years I've lived here. I doubt you even live in Spain otherwise you'd know this lol.
March 8th, 2013 10:51 pm
Well, well, well. So Fred would have us believe that the winter rains can fall anytime between December and May in Andalucía.
If you believe that, you are capable of believing any cock and bull story.
March 9th, 2013 11:44 am
Fred, yes I do live in Spain. I've read a few of your comments lately and they seem to mainly be provocative and cynical. I for one love the summers here. That's what siestas are for, with people sitting outside their houses and bars socialising in the warm summer nights for months.
I would be interested to know why you actually live in Spain? & have such downdtrodden views on this country rather than simply returning to the uk?
March 9th, 2013 12:48 pm
@Mr P, I'm surprised that you live in Spain and know so little nothing about the weather here. @Tony, you must be related to Michael Fish lol. November 2012 was the worst rain for 100 years and every month since has also had terrible rainstorms; just read this paper to see all the floods – no cock and bull there, just plain facts. One of the worst storms in living memory in Andalucia happened as late as May.
Sure, the summer weather will be great, if you like baking to death, which is why the Spanish think we are mad walking about in the daytime. The evenings are a different matter and are the best time to be out in the summer, agreed.
March 9th, 2013 4:22 pm
Fred, again talking confrontational NON-sense. Of course it rains in winter. Why do you think the terrains have their appearance.
I ask again, WHY do you live here rather than the uk? Eres un tonto!
March 9th, 2013 9:04 pm
@Mr P, what is confrontational about saying that Andalucia experiences extreme rainfall and flooding? It's just a fact, and it comes as a surprise to many people who have moved here. What is the nonsense in stating basic facts lol.
March 9th, 2013 10:13 pm
Fred, so why do you live here?
Every post I read from you about Andalucía is so negative that I really don´t see why anyone with those attitudes would choose to live anywhere in Spain.
Maybe that´s the answer. You don´t live in Andalucía at all, and never have done.
March 10th, 2013 11:41 am
@Tony, when you prove that you live here I'll prove that I do too. Extreme weather is a negative subject by its very definition and saying it is a 'confrontational' or 'negative' subject is just meaningless babble.
March 10th, 2013 1:07 pm
How about this?
Now it´s your turn.
"saying it is a 'confrontational' or 'negative' subject is just meaningless babble."
Fred, I think you are confusing me with some else.
March 10th, 2013 1:52 pm
If you buy the book – it costs just €10 if you live in Spain – inside the front and back flaps there is a spiel about me and Eva, including the name of the village where we live.
Your turn.
March 10th, 2013 2:04 pm
"Fred, I think you are confusing me with some else."
That should read "…someone else"
March 10th, 2013 4:31 pm
Anyone can say they are Tony Bishop, even I can post as Tony Bishop. Obviously you could not have walked much in the Ronda mountains not to know about the excessive rainfall in Spain. "Spiel" is a word you should use more Tony, lol.
March 10th, 2013 7:58 pm
Fred, I'm not sure what your problem is. Yes it rains in Andalucia in winter (rain that's needed) but it's also not called the 'Desert of Europe' for nothing.
I think a nerve has been struck by asking you a simple question…
March 10th, 2013 8:28 pm
It can also go to minus 10c in Southern Spain or more. It is not as cold as the UK but the houses have no mains gas and they are freezing in general as they are not built to keep the heat in. The winters can drag there and it has been hotter in April in the UK than Spain on many occassion. It is hotter in mainland Spain than the UK but it is not the Canaries. Even in th ebeach areas it will fall to minus. Nice to see you back Roger.
March 11th, 2013 11:31 am
You've me me confused with someone REAP? (good name). Agree with the you about prolonged winters, but when the sun's out it's hot in winter too (just like mid summer in the uk). Roll on one more month then most of Spain should be ok until mid October again. Unlike the 2 week or ONE week summer back in the uk. Spain needs rain in winters for the rest of the year – just not recent deluges.
Any positive comments Fred and Reap (and anyone else) about why you like living here? or don't you? or just miserable maybe…
March 11th, 2013 2:46 pm
Mr P, I just love living here in Andalucía. The list of reasons is probably infinite but I´ll list just a few.
1. Although we live in the mountains near Ronda, the winter days are relatively mild. I have lived here and I have NEVER experienced temperatures of minus 10º, even at nighttime. Maybe Reap lives in Granada province.
2. The health service in the village could not be better. Phone between 8:00 and 8:30-ish for a same morning appointment, even for something routine. I used to live in the UK and cannot remember the last time that happened.
3. My health (the subject of this piece, remember) has improved no end. Mountain walks coupled with a Mediterranean diet did the trick. (I retired well before I moved here.)
4. I am a man of modest means and could never afford to live in England´s sole mountainous area, the Lake District. Here I live in a mountain village with a zero crime rate and can walk all day without meeting another soul. In winter (December – January) we often walk in short-sleeves, something unimaginable in the UK.
Yes we get rain in the winter. And that is swiftly followed by a warm/hot 4 – 5 month period when people plan outdoor barbecues several weeks ahead because they know there will be no rainfall.
By the way, every house in the village, including the surrounding rural area, is completely legal. Maybe that´s because we live in a Natural Park.
I could go on and on, but by now you will have caught my drift.
Thanks for asking the question.
March 12th, 2013 1:31 pm
Thanks Tony, great to hear your positive views on here. It's a bit draining to read the same people putting a country they moved to down.
We never got out much in the uk, mainly because of the weather (it is important). Here we can't get out enough! Every sunny market day, socialising, practicing Spanish, going to a couple of bars for small beers & tapas (without just drinking pint after pint, pressured into getting round after round) is fantastic, and doesn't cost the earth.
The healthcare we've experienced has been immediate too.
We saw a program about living in areas around Torrevieja with it's nearby salt plains, saying it was one of the healthiest places to live 'in the world'. An exageration surely?
Let's hope for better economic times ahead and that people think harder, protest more about corruption, & try their best to talk constructively rather than pointing out the bad things & giving up. That's easy to do! Especially when people do that then laugh, when commenting on here.
March 12th, 2013 2:22 pm
@Mr P, talking about the weather is not putting a country down, you must get a grip on reality. Btw, yellow alert weather warning today. Are you going out today for a nice walk? lol
March 12th, 2013 4:08 pm
The weather in Spain is better, I can't argue with that but when I was there recently people were telling me that their utility bills are more than mine in the UK, and they had a property half the size of where I live and they were on the coast. I did live in Spain but had enough and left. Dealing with the fraudsters / politicians is the same as negotiating with retards. I have a property on the coast as well and I can tell you it is not always hot and does fall to minus, but trying to keep those tiled floors and properties warm is expensive with the high cost of bottled gas, wood or electric. The electric is really expensive in Spain, much more the UK. If you google Almeria snowfall you will probably see a few years ago the crops were wiped out by snow on the coast. There is a lot more to do in the UK than Spain and at least I do not have to deal with the corruption. I may consider living there again one day but the politicians and Town Hall staff just take the shine off of the place. The environment you live in and not just the sun is important. I have owned properties in Spain for 15 years, been there, done it.
March 12th, 2013 11:11 pm
Reap, just read this.
Just remember. The article was about health.
March 13th, 2013 10:44 am
@Tony, if the article is about health, then why do you keep mentioning the weather in the UK? At least I mention the weather in Spain. You just can't keep to topic and keep going off on a tangent lol.
March 13th, 2013 2:18 pm
Just on about you in general Fred on here putting Spanish things down then LAUGHING, rather than talking constructively. I'll pass the baton if anyone fancies taking over.. I'm.. about to go into… a coma.. adios
March 13th, 2013 2:21 pm
Fred, you said "Tony, when you prove that you live here I'll prove that I do too."
You didn´t believe what I posted. That´s fine by me. Now how about your providing some proof?
Until you do that, your credibility on here is worthless.
March 13th, 2013 3:43 pm
@Tony, you still haven't proved that you live here. You cannot even prove that you are "Tony Bishop" so please don't talk about credibility. Who needs credibility to talk about the weather anyway lol.
March 14th, 2013 10:30 am
Three times I asked Fred for evidence that he lives in Spain. Three times there was none forthcoming.
I think it´s safe to assume that Fred doesn´t live in Spain.

As I said, the weather is better in Spain than the UK but I drive up and down the motorways every week and I have not been stopped by the weather this year and I don't have a 4×4. The Spanish probably live longer on average as most of the people in these sleepy Andalucian Villages are not working, live on what they can grow and take life easy, maybe that is the way to live life, no material objects, simple houses and cars, no stress and so on. If any of their kids want to get on it is not in these villages as there is no work. The kids do not have a bad life there, on their bikes, more freedom, less cars to run them over in the quieter areas…. One of my boys is on the bus at 7.30 in the UK, back at 4pm, then he has homework to do. I feel a bit sorry for him but he is motivated for some reason so he laps it up. He will more than likely have stressful job in London one day but is that better than plucking chickens so you can live another 3 years longer?
March 14th, 2013 10:57 am
Don't bother Tony. We know what you're about. Good to hear from you on here! but unfortunately we know what he's about too… I've read his comments before, trying to suck the life out of anyone on this site… CONSTANTLY! It's damaging for the comments sections. He gets away with it for some reason.
March 14th, 2013 11:27 am
The Grim Reaper… People live longer here because they're outside more, WALKING around more. These sleepy Andalucian villages you mentioned.. are these the ones that spend most of the year socialising, having fiestas, talking to each other, promenading every night.
You need to keep driving mate… and while you're at it can you pick your mate on here up too!
Why quote London. That place is horrible & unhealthy…. then people go to school and have homework at night, plucking chickens.. please!

"Comprised of" is always wrong. You wouldn't say "included of" would you?
The UK comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is correct.
The UK is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is not correct.

Roger, London is where you can make money. My point exactly, walk around the villages, have fiestas, siestas… Live a few years longer but be bored to death along the way but if you know nothing else that is probably fine. I have lived in Spain and have experience of many Countries. I think I would get on well with Fred because I agree with everything he writes. I would happily go for a drink with Fred in the summer. I was once like you but after almost 15 years of it the enthusiasm dwindles. Reap what you sow is what I stared out with as my name on here, but I could not be bothered to type it all out so cut it to Reap. The Spanish are reaping what they have sowed. Be good to people, be fair and positive to them and you will gain much back, but be bad and corrupt and that is why they are in this mess. Do you know why there are very few major Companies in Spain? Come on, a few rose tinted expats won't solve it. I still take a few weeks holiday there in the Summer so I don't hate Spain, I am just giving the view of a working age person who has lived there and my kids did go to school there. I have dealt with the local Town Halls, builders…. Other than the Town Hall everyone else was fine, the builders I used were excellent for my pool. I feel sorry for the Spanish people to have leaders like they have. With the climate and location the Country should be flying.
March 14th, 2013 1:35 pm
The Grim Reaper. I think you're like the sort of people we met the other day, complaining, saying THE SPANISH do this THE SPANISH do that. Go and drink with Fred & complain together.
March 14th, 2013 2:41 pm
Internet nonsense aside, I think that Spain can be a place of opportunity and also stimulating if you hang around with the right people, do the right things, talk to locals and enjoy the more laid back lifestyle. If you can't see many positives, go back to the uk or don't come to live here. It's not for everyone. But we know no matter how many more years we live here, and having the Med just down the road, Spain is the country for us. Just off outside with a cup of tea, to read for a while, in the hot winter sun.
March 14th, 2013 4:32 pm
Mr P epitomises people with a classic misunderstanding of anyone who critiques Spain. He hears some criticism and the only reply is the same old "go back to the UK". So Spain is a place of opportunity is it? Well go and tell that to the youth of Spain Mr P! That'll be an interesting response – go and ask your locals what opportunities they have.
I suppose Mr P wants all the people affected by illegal builds to go back to the UK too? And what about the people whose homes were destroyed in the Malaga fires. Stop complaining silly people and go back to the UK, he says.
And what makes Mr P think we don't speak to and mix with the locals? I know all of mine and have some great friends. Been to three Spanish weddings, a funeral and lots of parties and events.
What Spain needs is far less people like Mr P, who do nothing and accept everything as it is ("Sheeple", I think the word is). Luckily the people of Spain are complaining in their masses – did he not hear or see the M15 movement? Give me a realist like Reap any day.
March 14th, 2013 5:11 pm
Roger, I will leave you with your cup of tea but I need a bit more than that to stimulate my mind and to keep me happy. I have only complained about the Town Halls and officials above so don't make up stories. Believe me the Officials I have dealt with were very corrupt. No doubt there are many who will put up with everything by brushing all aside and justifying it with sunshine. It is hardly an African climate there in the winter though.I sometimes wish I could see things as simple as you. You are right though, it is not for me. At least people will see a balanced view.
March 15th, 2013 7:25 am
Fred has refused to provide evidence that he lives in Spain. I wonder why that is.
I´ll offer him another challenge. Can he prove that he and Reap are not one and the same person?
That was in response to Fred´s question to me (see above).
Of course, it has nothing to do with the title of this piece: "Spain is healthiest country in EU". But that´s what I would expect.
March 15th, 2013 10:30 am
Tony, the OP can see what IP addresses people are using and they once highlighted that one person was previoulsy going by different names so I would not try that as I know what they can see. Why do you want to know the ID of everyone, are you in the police? You can see by the things I talk about that I have lived in Spain in years gone by and I still own properties there so that is why I come on here. My opinion is that if you need to work and earn money in Spain don't bother going, if you have enough of an income and want to sit around drinking tea, beer, go down the beach everyday and you are happy with that then it is a great place for you. Don't buy a property that needs permission for an extension from the Town Hall as it will stress you out. Make sure you don't buy a house that is going to be knocked down, that is not good for your health. Don't be taken in by estate agents and use an independant solicitor not tied to the estate agent, you may just have a chance then. If you go in hospital realise that your relatives have to look after you in there other than A & E. Some of the tap water is nuclear ("http://www.greenguidespain.com/andalucia/2010/07/nuclear-water/") so buy bottled if unsure. There you go, good advice rather than personal attacks
March 15th, 2013 1:59 pm
Fred I did say before 'Let's hope for better economic times ahead and that people think harder, protest more about corruption, & try their best to talk constructively rather than pointing out the bad things & giving up. That's easy to do! Especially when people do that then laugh, when commenting on here.'
This is what you normally do? Just this!
March 15th, 2013 2:31 pm
Fred, and now your No.1 fan Reap, you're just a pair of 'Negative Nancies'.
March 15th, 2013 4:54 pm
So I can't mention the bad weather? Anyway, I thought you were passing on the baton Mr P? lol.
March 15th, 2013 5:59 pm
You can stick the baton Fred! LOL!
March 15th, 2013 10:50 pm
sorry everyone – to get back on topic I should've said '…where the sun don't shine!' …what a missed opportunity
anyhow Fred
March 16th, 2013 8:29 am
In answer to my question (MARCH 15TH, 2013 7:25 AM), no proof from Fred so far. As I had expected.
Nothing from Fred to support the fanciful notion that he even lives in Spain either.
March 16th, 2013 11:37 am
@Tony, you're fighting a lost cause. I gave you that challenge because it was an impossible one. My point being that you cannot prove you live here any more than I can. Indeed, no one posting on a blog can. Why don't you get back on topic. You still have not proved that your life expectancy has increased, indeed with all your fristrated arguing with me it is probably declining lol.
March 16th, 2013 2:19 pm
Yes, Fred, just like you I just picked my name out of a hat.
And, of course, the book is a work of fiction, bearing no resemblance to reality.
On the other hand, you could write to Jon Clarke, the editor of the Olive Press, who knows me and can vouch for my authenticity.
Why not do that?
March 16th, 2013 6:16 pm
So I write to Jon about an anonymous user who posts on the OP blog. Pleeease. Blogs prove nothing about anyone, I take all posts with a pinch of salt, and likewise you should too. For all you know it may be someone impersonating me.
So where does that leave us? Well, you still have no idea if your life expectancy has increased or decreased. I'm happy to leave it at that but you seem very frustrated and want to continue to engage in impossible tasks.
March 16th, 2013 6:51 pm
So I take it you haven´t written Jon. What a pity. But typical of you.
March 16th, 2013 9:19 pm
@Tony, please just prove that your life expectancy has increased. You said "you feel" it has. So it's just a gut reaction then? That was what the original post was about. Btw, how can Jon prove in a blog post that you are Tony Bishop? I just don't think you comprehend that your identity is just as valid as mine.
March 17th, 2013 2:00 pm
Yes, Tony, answer the question please so we may learn something rather than keep going on about wanting to know where Fred lives.Boring……..
March 17th, 2013 8:14 pm
Correct Reap. It matters not where Fred or anyone else lives. The only criteria for posting here, should be to have an interest in Spain and to make creative criticisms based on experiences and personal attitudes, negative or positive, to aspects of Spanish culture and life. Must say though, it seems bonkers to assert that living here will guarantee a longer life. If the bullet has your name on it…..
March 17th, 2013 9:05 pm
March 17th, 2013 10:01 pm
Jeez, look at these three here now, Fred, Reap, Stefanjo.. like a gang of doomsayers sucking the life out of any commenters on this site. Good luck Tony and stay healthier in Spain!

Bears defense be warned: Eagles can pull a fast one

Kyle Long used to see defeat in defenders' eyes by the second quarter.
''You'd be amazed at how quickly you can get a defense's will to break when you're going 100 mph,'' said the Bears rookie guard, who played on Oregon's revolutionary, fast-paced offense last year. ''The tempo is what gets ya.''
Coach Chip Kelly — and his tempo — left the Ducks for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles this offseason.
For the Bears and their NFL-worst run defense, slowing the Eagles on Sunday will be like trying to stop a ceiling fan with their bare hands.
Kelly's grand experiment has been working all season.
''Have you seen the stats?'' Long asked, rhetorically. The Eagles average 152.9 rushing yards per game and 4.98 yards per running play, best in the NFL, yet their time of possession, 25:53, is the shortest in the league.
No team averages more than their 6.3 yards per play or their 6.72 yards on first downs.
With 88 plays of 20 yards or more, the Eagles are nine short of breaking the NFL record set by the 2001 ''Greatest Show on Turf'' St. Louis Rams.
"It's certainly proven that it can be very successful after 15 weeks," Bears coach Marc Trestman said. ''I mean, they've been exceptional.''
The beauty of the offense is its simplicity. Long estimated last year's Ducks ran only 20 different plays, albeit out of 40 different formations. The familiar plays allowed players to line up quickly, without huddling, and react rather than think.
While the NFL version of the ''Blur'' is more complicated — routes are different and Eagles quarterback Nick Foles sometimes goes under center — the tempo is the same. Even Foles' ''check-with-me'' audibles come quickly, from Kelly's sideline.
''[Kelly] simplifies it so much,'' running back LeSean McCoy said, ''that you're able to play fast.''
Even if Bears linebacker Lance Briggs returns and resumes play-calling duties, Sunday will be a challenge.
''We just have to make sure we're on the same page,'' defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said. ''We have to get the call in quickly. We have to get aligned very quickly and make sure we communicate. Then, when the ball is snapped, we've got to go play.''
The Bears could face challenges in substituting, too. NFL rules stipulate an offensive team that makes a substitution must wait for the defense to do the same, so the Eagles often keep the same 11 players on the field.
''When you're tired,'' defensive end Shea McClellin said, ''get out.''
Before McCoy became the NFL's leading rusher, he had to adjust.
''It's one thing to be in shape,'' he said. ''It's another to be in shape for this offense."
Defenses are not. With one more game of 400 total yards, the Eagles will become just the fourth NFL team to do it 12 times in one season.
''When the big [defensive] guys up front get tired, the holes get a little bigger,'' said McCoy, who leads the NFL with 1,343 rushing yards despite gaining 38 on only eight tries in Sunday's 48-30 loss to the Vikings in Minneapolis. ''Those guys are tired, and once they get tired, you can roll and get going. If there's one step that a guy got you on the first time, he won't get you the next time — because he's tired.''
Bears defensive tackle Stephen Paea said McCoy ''is running everything in their offense right now.'' Foles can keep the ball, too, on read-option plays; he has 50 carries this season. The Washington Redskins, another read-option team, gashed the Bears for 209 yards on 43 carries Oct. 20.
The Bears have spent the week reviewing who is responsible for the option, the dive, the quarterback and the pitch — at a breakneck pace.
''The concept is still the same [as Oregon], where they're trying to get as many opportunities as they can for their offense,'' said Bears safety Chris Conte, who, along with McClellin and Paea, faced Oregon in college.
Kelly claims tempo isn't the primary focus, ''just a tool in the toolbox," he said. It's what sets his teams apart, but they're not solely dependent on the rush, either.
In Sunday's loss, the Eagles ran only 13 times and threw 48 passes.
''We had 475 yards of offense and scored 30 points,'' Kelly said. ''We don't get any points for having a run-pass balance.
''If you can throw for 400 yards a game, I think every single coach in this league, all 32 of them, would say, 'Yeah, I'll do that.' ''

You sit up in your bed and yawn, dragging yourself out from under the covers. You dress and walk to your mirror, admiring yourself.
"Lookin sexy, as usual."
You jumped and turned around, glaring at BEN. "What did i tell you about coming in my room? One day your gonna pop in and i'm gonna be nude!"
"Thats my plan." He says, a perverted smile slipping across his face. You roll your eyes and turn away, muttering "Fucking pervert" under your breath. You begin to brush your hair, when you hear a squeak and turn around.
He's gone. "Of course." You sigh and turn back to the mirror, only to come face to face with him.
"Ah!" You yelp and fall back, he catches your wrist and pulls you back up.
"Am i that scary?" He asks, chuckling.
"No, but when you appear in my face it's startling." You try to pull your hands away, but he holds you tightly and pulls you against him.
"Well why don't i show you how i'm not scary?" He asked with a smirk, then he pressed his lips against yours. Your mind screamed at you to pull away, but you denied it. You wanted this, only you wanted it... differently. he backed you up till your legs hit the bed, then you made your move.
You broke away and your eyes flashed, his hands opened, releasing your wrists. You froze him like that and snickered.
"W-woah, what are you doing?" He asked, fear lining his voice.
"Something i should have done a long time ago." You replied.
You moved him mentally until he was laying on his back on your bed, you climbed on top of him, kissing him softly. You worked his shirt off, and his pants followed. The tent in his boxers made you laugh slightly, and you softly ran your hand over it, earning a shiver from BEN. You sat back and pulled your shirt and bra off, squeezing your breasts together to tease him.
"This is so not fair." He huffed staring at your chest with lustful eyes. "I can't touch you and i can't touch myself." You smiled and pulled his boxers off, eyes widening at his size. "Like whatcha see?" He asked with a smirk.
You rolled your eyes and began sucking on his member, swirling your tongue around him. You took as much of him in your mouth as you could, and stroked the rest with your hand, keeping it up till he cried out, and came. You swallowed his fluids and smirked up at him, then pulled your remaining cloths off.
You climbed onto him and positioned yourself above him, lowering yourself. You gasped as he slid in, and bit your lip, moving around so you were comfortable you began moving your hips up and down, gaining speed until you were almost slamming him.
(Y-your name)..." BEN panted, looking at you.
"Say my name again.." You gasped between moans, you could feel his body tensing beneath you, and you could feel the pleasure inside you building till it was ready to spill over. With one final movement, you both climaxed.
"(Your name)!"
You could feel his hot fluids inside of you, and you released your hold on his body. His hands automatically found your breasts and squeezed them roughly, sliding his tongue around the buds, then he helped you turn till your head was at his member. You felt his cold tongue as he cleaned you of your juices, and you did the same, licking him clean. You tensed when his tongue entered you, and he chuckled. "Oh come on, let me have some fun." he pleaded, you sighed and nodded, his tongue sliding around inside and out of you. His hands held your butt tightly, digging his nails into the skin, then one hand left and you felt him insert a digit inside you. You gasped and he smirked, adding another and a third. He began pumping you with his fingers, and you went back to sucking him, both of you moaning in ecstasy. In a matter of minutes he had you cumming again, all over his hand and face, and he greedily licked you clean again. When he was finished you turned and he pulled you up to him, covering you both with the sheets. You curled up against him.
"I love you BEN." You whispered
"I love you to."
"Wait, why the hell are we getting in bed? It's still morning."

We make many choices in the course of our lives. When I decided to get pregnant, I made the choice to become a vegetarian. I thought that was the right choice for my baby. It turned out to also be the right choice for me. My daughter was born 18 years ago. At that time there weren't a lot of choices or places to turn that supported my beliefs. I didn't want to give her dairy and I didn't want to give her meat. I'll never forget at each visit to the pediatrician when the doctor would ask her if she was drinking milk and eating meat and my little girl would just nod her head. Then we'd have a good laugh in the car. There's more than one way to get your vitamins and nutrients! She was rarely sick and she was growing in all ways. I made choices. I made mashed bananas and mashed vegetables. I purchased the expensive, organic baby food at the local health food store. As she grew, I made other choices.
We live in a town without fast food. I am thankful for that. I took as much as I could in the car with me for road trips. Eventually we'd have to stop at a restaurant or fast food chain. Again, the choices there were minimal. Today there are more choices . And now there's much more support for kids and making healthy choices every day for yourself and your children.
How do you make the choice to eat healthier? It starts with asking for just that…And then listening. At a yoga retreat many years ago, I sat down to a silent breakfast. I asked my body what it needed to eat. I walked through the food line and put only what my body needed on my plate. How did I know? I listened. I sat and thanked all the hands that came into contact with the food on my plate. I took one small bite. I put the fork down. I chewed until it was liquid in my mouth. And I did that again and again until I was finished. I took the time to slow down.
Two years ago I made the choice to delve into a raw food lifestyle. The internet has put in front of us a wealth of knowledge. We make choices every day. Lately my choices come more from my body than my mind. I wake up grateful for the gifts that will appear in my life that day. Does it always work? Nope…it doesn't. That's where the choice of feeling guilty or not comes into play. I choose to drink my greens. I choose to eat smaller amounts. Since my transition to more living foods, I need less food. I feel the best I've ever felt. Do I eat this way 100% of the time? No, I don't. And that's my choice.
Yesterday I visited a friend at his farm. He was kind enough to let me go home with a bag full of his root veggies and swiss chard. Yes, that's right….it's Dec 10th in Vermont and he's still growing greens! I'm writing this with a green smoothie by my side. I put in my Vitamix the following ingredients:
1-2 cups water
Two big handfuls of fresh organic swiss chard
Small amount of parsley
One frozen banana
One cup of frozen raspberries
Every part of my mind this morning wanted to eat something that my body didn't want. I took deep breaths and I made the choice to drink what I knew would make me feel better. Ultimately it really is about feeling better. Body and soul. I will be thinking about you today making the right choice for your body. I've come a long way and I'm still learning. Here's to the choices we make and may they be the right ones for each of us.
Donna, I chose that, Bergonzi-Boyle

All cases of
tuberculosis (TB) are reported to the local or state
health department, because the disease can spread to others and cause outbreaks.
Major health authorities keep track of TB outbreaks and encourage early testing
for people who are at risk for the disease.
The CDC
recommends TB testing for people who:1
People who have a high risk for developing TB usually have a
skin test (tuberculin test) on a regular basis. Health
professionals often are given a tuberculin skin test when they begin work in a
hospital or nursing home, with retesting every 6 to 12 months.

The Thinsulate Compressible (TC) series high-performance acoustic insulation is a proprietary family of high performance, low density, nonwoven acoustic absorbers that are cavity filling, compressible, and conformable. These performance attributes make the acoustic absorbers ideal for novel designs in traditional applications. The initial market entry consists of four products with two weights and two surface configurations. With an acoustic cavity, more sound is captured in the material rather than passing over the absorber. Components made with the materials compress readily, leading to increased energy dissipation, which improves acoustic performance. TC 3303 offers half the density and a 25% better noise reduction coefficient (NRC) than other acoustical products of similar price from the supplier. TC 2203 provides similar performance to these same products, but it is half the density and is priced about 25% less per square foot.
"The technology behind the TC series has played a large role in advancing our understanding of sound energy dissipation," said David Schlaefer, business manager for the supplier.

If you're a fan of Microworkers, you'll like ClickChores. Same type of micro-jobs website, but a better appearance and more attentive staff.
ClickChores actually states on their website that they process withdrawals each Sunday ( unlike Microworkers) and the minimum withdrawal amount is only $3. There is $0.50 fee on withdrawals but that can be much lower compared to Microworkers 9% fee on Alertpay and Moneybookers (Skrill) withdrawals.
Another great feature of ClickChores is the fact that you can use the money you earn to post your own jobs, rather than having to deposit money. Microworkers makes you deposit money.
It seems that PayPal is the preferred payment method on ClickChores, but they also do offer Alertpay for deposits. The PayPal feature is a huge plus for me since Microworkers removed it as an option on their site.
ClickChores only down side seems to be that not a lot of people know about it yet, so there aren't hundreds of listings like Microworkers. In-spite of this I still think ClickChores is a good alternative/solution to Microworkers. Once people start using the service the site will do very well.
ClickChores also offers a referral bonus for any one you refer to the site. They will credit your account with a $0.50 bonus when your referral completes their first task and makes their first withdrawal. You'll also earn an additional $3 when your referral posts their first job. Microworkers doesn't seem to offer any type of referral bonus. I'm sure they did in the past but not anymore.
I really suggest you sign up with ClickChores and just keep an eye on the site. Jobs are posted each day as more and more people choose to use ClickChores.

Phil Jackson responds to Pierce's comment
Paul Pierce kindly told a Lakers fan during Game 2 that the Celtics weren't planning to come back to LA.
Phil Jackson said the Lakers would either like to make him a liar or prove his statement right by winning three straight games themselves. (LA Times)
"We're going to have to make him a liar," Jackson said, smiling.
Then again, Jackson was told, the Lakers could win all three games in Boston.
If that did happen, the Lakers, who are tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven series, would win the NBA championship and the Celtics indeed wouldn't have to come back to Los Angeles for a Game 6.
"We could end it here," Jackson said. "That's right. He might be right with that."
Some Celtics fans might get mad at Jackson for what he said, but what was he supposed to say? That the Lakers were going to lose three straight, no doubt about it? That they shouldn't even play Games 3-5 because Pierce's prediction will come true no matter what? Yeah, I didn't think so.
As hopeful as Pierce seems to be that the Celtics can win three straight, Marc Spears cautions that the road team has swept the middle three games more often than the home team. Only two teams have done it at home, but three have on the road. (Yahoo!)
Three visiting teams – the 1990 Pistons, 1991 Chicago Bulls and 2001 Lakers – have swept the middle games, which just proves one thing: At this level of the playoffs, it's hard for any team to beat the other three times in a row.
"It's extremely difficult to do," said former Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas, who was MVP of the 1990 Finals when Detroit won three straight games in Portland to close out the series.
"That's why it's such a rare feat. Mentally, you have to go in there with the attitude that you can crush your opponent. Our locker room was totally silent before we came out for Game 3. We then ran out with [Bill] Laimbeer first, myself second and Joe Dumars third. I never forget Laimbeer running full blast out of the locker room and running a cameraman over.
"We all got to half court and Laimbeer grabbed the ball and slammed it hard to the floor. The Blazers turned around and looked at us, and I thought, 'We are going to kick your ass.' We were the 'Bad Boys.' If you're going to be in a city that long, you have to own a city, make it yours and take it from the home team."
I can't exactly see Pau Gasol doing what Laimbeer did. But I DO know exactly what the Celtics should do before tonight's game to make sure they won't lose:

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Jan. 26, 2014) – The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) has kicked off its fourth-annual "Capture the Earth" middle school digital photography contest for all Kentucky students in grades 6-8.
The "Capture the Earth" photo contest is open to all Kentucky middle school students.
Judges will look for originality and creativity, photo composition, and a brief explanation of how well the photograph celebrates the beauty and diversity of Kentucky and encourages others to care about the state's environment through stewardship and conservation.
"Capture the Earth" contest celebrates the beauty and diversity of Kentucky.
"The goals of our student photography contest are twofold," said Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters. "First, we want students to get outside, explore their natural surroundings and connect with nature. Second, this contest enables students to use their creativity and practice critical thinking skills by taking digital photos and describing in writing how their photo can encourage others to be better environmental stewards."
EEC will accept entries until 4:30 p.m. April 4, 2014.

Mohd Noordin, Norsidah (2008) Relationships between Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Behavior and Organizational Commitment with Organizational Readiness for Change in a Malaysian Institute of Higher Learning. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between emotional intelligence, leadership behavior (Transformational and Transactional) and organizational commitment (affective, normative and continuance) in influencing perceptions and responses of organizational readiness for change among the academic staff in a Higher learning Institution. Specifically, the study attempted (1) to determine the level of organizational readiness for change, organizational commitment, emotional intelligence and perceived leadership behavior exhibited in UiTM; (2) to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence, perceived leadership behavior, organizational commitment and organizational readiness for change; (3) to determine the contribution of the significant predictors variables towards explaining the variance of the criterion variables; (4) to determine whether organizational commitment is a moderator variable for the relationship between emotional intelligence, perceived leadership behavior and organizational readiness for change among the academic staff of UiTM. This is a descriptive-correlational research study. It was based on conceptual framework that combined part of adapted model from organizational development and change theory (Lewin, 1947, Burke-Litwin, 1992) and the Three-Component Model (TCM) of organizational commitment developed by Meyer and Allen (1991, 1997). A total of 168 academic staff of UiTM participated in this study. They were selected based on cluster sampling from the main and branch campuses through Malaysia. Data were collected using the survey method and were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. This study provided empirical evidences that the academic staff of UiTM perceived that the organization is ready for change. The findings also showed that generally the academic staff has high level of emotional intelligent competencies, moderate level organizational commitment and perceived their superiors having moderate transformational and transactional leadership style. In term of the relationships between dependent and the independent variables, the result revealed that there was a positive and moderate linear relationship between overall scores of emotional intelligence, its clusters scores and organizational readiness for change. Besides, there was a positive and moderate linear relationship between transformational, transactional leadership behavior and organizational readiness for change. The relationship between affective commitment and organizational readiness for change showed a positive and moderate linear relationship. However, there was positive and low linear relationship of normative and continuance commitment and organizational readiness for change. In terms of determining the contributions of the significant predictive power of emotional intelligence, transformational and transactional leadership behavior and the three-components of organizational commitment in explaining organizational readiness for change, the result revealed 44.1% of the variance in readiness for change is explained by emotional intelligence, organizational commitment and transactional leadership behavior, In determining the role of the organization commitment as a moderating variable, the finding shows that organizational commitment moderated the effects of transactional leadership on organizational readiness for change; and continuance commitment moderated the effects of transactional leadership on organizational readiness for change. Based on the results, the implications of the findings were discussed in the context of understanding the organization readiness for change and its implications to change management and adult learning and practices. Suggestions on how to enhance organizational readiness for change and avenues for future research were also provided in this discussion.

|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 11:55am
I'll give Daisy a half pain pill before she goes for her staple removal this afternoon. Us gals are going to go and get the horses' grain before the vet so she will love going for a ride.
I hope that Eastern Ontario won't get that nemo storm. How much snow is your new house going to get I wonder? We always seem to get the opposite of everyone else's weather for some reason.
I'm sure Austin's team will win their games this weekend. They are doing really well. They have a good group of athletes this year.

we are supose o get a storm on Sunday but they always talk about it to much and then it gos away
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 2:37pm
Leslie we have about 6 inches now as it has been snowing heavy all day. It is supposed to lighten up and move on this afternoon. They said it was a combination of an Alberta clipper and the low from Texas meeting up. Boy we sure are having a winter this year. It's getting me ready for our new location though.
|Fri, 02-08-2013 - 2:44pm
That ride for the grain sounds like fun for Daisy before her vet visit. She is doing so well.
Apparently according to the weatherman Ottawa area is not supposed to get the eastern nemo storm but who can believe them. Our new house is getting from 6-12 inches from this storm. The weathermen are very vague on the amounts. It is good we have the man hired to plough the snow. He has been doing a really good job too. When dh went there last everything was nice and clean and he even did the walkway to the house.
That's great that Austin's team is doing so well. That will be nice to watch them win.

.- A Franciscan priest was killed this week in Colombia in the northern region of Magdalena. Initial investigations indicate the 46 year-old priest was assaulted.
Father Luis Alfonso Herrera Moreno, who was the accountant at the San Luis Beltran School, operated by the Franciscans in the costal city of Santa Marta, disappeared on Tuesday after he went out to run a few errands for the school. His body was found one day later and police said it appeared he had been bludgeoned to death.
According to other officials at the school, Father Herrera took a phone call before being picked up in a van to go to an appointment. Police have not yet located the van.
Father Herrera was born in Pacora, Colombia, and studied at the University of La Salle and the University of St. Bonaventure in Bogota.
More than 60 priests, bishops, religious, and seminarians have died violent deaths during Colombia's 30 year-old civil conflict. In addition, 4 bishops, 14 priests, and 1 missionary have been kidnapped.

text: Tried this one yesterday. It has such a rainbow of ingredients in the bag! It has a fresh crisp apple flavor, rather than a bakey flavor, which is odd because it has things like cinnamon and vanilla in it. The vanilla was subtle. I like this one because even though there was hibiscus in it, there was just enough that it helped the flavor instead of overpowering it. I think I was tasting the blackberry leaves though, which I do not like. Not bad!
