Fishy Swan Song
If you truly dont know what youve got till its gone, will Florida Marlins fans, basking in the air conditioning of the teams new stadium, suddenly realize how good they had it at Sun Life Stadium? Seated behind home plate, staring out at downtown Miami, will they suddenly yearn for an expansive and unparalleled view of a sea of empty orange chairs? Will they miss the ability to walk into any section undisturbed, pick any seat, and stretch out as if they were at home on the couch? Well, the answer to that last one is probably yes, actually. But otherwise, it will be good riddance to a bad baseball stadium when the Marlins take on the Washington Nationals in their penultimate game of the season, in a matchup that just might feature the Nats phenom pitcher Stephen Strasburg. But the best news of all is were not even funding the new stadium! Oh, wait. Pay your respects Tuesday night at 7:10 at Sun Life Stadium.

Optimizing Speaker Programs
The CompanyA leading pharmaceutical company marketing multiple blockbuster drugs
The ChallengeA primary care brand team invested millions of dollars per year in speaker programs. The brand team viewed these investments as a cost of doing business, but was never able to accurately quantify the statistical impact or understand how to improve these events for maximum effectiveness.
However, as the executive team became more data-driven in their commercial strategies, they urged their brand teams to begin quantifying the impact and minimizing the risk of their largest investments. Yet it was difficult to quantify if the events actually led to incremental scripts, or if the "test" physicians, who attended the program, would have written more scripts anyway.
The SolutionThe brand team turned to APT's Test & Learn software to help them isolate the incremental impact of the speaker program, accounting for other factors that could influence performance.
With the right control group in place, Test & Learn revealed that, on average, while the speaker programs generated a statistically significant increase in prescriptions, they were not generating an acceptable ROI.
Next, Test & Learn automatically segmented the results to identify which physicians responded best, revealing that targeting just a small fraction of the total physician base could generate the vast majority of the benefit. Test & Learn also identified opportunities to improve the programs, showing that off-site events were significantly more profitable than on-site events.
APT then combined these drivers of performance into a statistical model to predict the incremental impact of each physician attending an event, helping the organization focus their invitations on the highest-value physicians.

Firefox may have been overshadowed by Chrome in terms of worldwide users, but it is still an excellent browser, even on Android. The latest update, version 49, has the usual dose of new features and bug fixes.
The biggest new feature is offline page viewing, which coincidentally enough, was recently added to the Chrome Dev builds. However, Chrome allows you to manually choose what pages you want stored for offline reading, whereas Firefox tries to store recent pages offline automatically. I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to implement Chrome's offline functionality, now that the framework is in place.Read More

Welcome to the Employment Law section of our webpage. Employment law issues are complex, often subject to state and local law (not ordinarily covered on CLIC pages) as well as federal law. This front page will reflect our most current information on employment law affecting educational institutions.

The Order will require prospective federal contractors to disclose their violations of certain workplace protection laws before receiving a contract award.

Ogletree Deakins: White House Announces Release of Final Contractor Blacklisting Rules: Phased Implementation for Prime Contractors and Subcontractors, by James Murphy, August 24, 2016. **
Note Murphy's comment on the expansive definition of labor law violations:
Unfortunately for government contractors, the DOL and the FAR Council appear to have ignored the avalanche of regulatory comments from employers and industry groups calling for limits on the use of "administrative merits determinations" in responsibility determinations. The White House does not identify any change in the approach to this concept or to the low and elastic thresholds for "serious, willful, repeated, and pervasive" violations. Consequently, federal contractors can expect contracting officers to treat unilateral, non-adjudicated enforcement decisions by agency staff as predicate violations that could limit access to federal contracts. Regrettably, the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the DOL will be positioned to pressure contractors into agreeing to concessions and settlements as the price of access to federal contracting opportunities.
See page 58668 of the DOL guidance, for example:
The Department retains reasonable cause letters as a type of administrative merits determination. An EEOC reasonable cause determination reflects an assessment of a charge's merits: ``that there is reasonable cause to believe that the charge is true.

Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York and Graduate Workers of Columbia-GWC, UAW,Case 02-RC-143012, August 23, 2016 NLRB
In this case the NLRB decided students who perform services at a University in connection with their studies are statutory employees within the meaning of 2(3) of the National Labor Relations Act. In so holding the Board overruled the earlier decision by the Board in Brown University, 342 NLRB 483 (2004), where the Board found that graduate student assistants were not employees.
The holding states:
The Board has the statutory authority to treat student assistants as statutory employees, where they perform work, at the direction of the university, for which they are compensated. Statutory coverage is permitted by virtue of an employment relationship; it is not foreclosed by the existence of some other, additional relationship that the Act does not reach.***
Thus, we hold today that student assistants who have a common-law employment relationship with their university are statutory employees under the Act. We will apply that standard to student assistants, including assistants engaged in research funded by external grants. Applying the new standard to the facts here, consistent with the Board's established approach in representation cases, we conclude (1) that all of the petitioned-for studentassistant classifications consist of statutory employees; (2) that the petitioned-for bargaining unit (comprising graduate students, terminal Master's degree students, and undergraduate students) is an appropriate unit; and (3) that none of the petitioned-for classifications consists of temporary employees who may not be included in the unit. Accordingly, we reverse the decision of the Regional Director and remand the proceedings to the Regional Director for further appropriate action.
The Board discarded the finding in Brown, supra, that in order to find an employment relationship, the relationship must be primarily economic in character, arguing that the intent of the NLRA was to maximize collective bargaining opportunities for other than the narrow categories specifically excluded (e.g., agricultural workers and those involved in family enterprises). The Board held it would define mandatory subjects of collective bargaining for student assistants on a case by case basis. The dissent argued much of what had been the prior majority opinion, including the impracticality of strikes (you shut off the access to the education you are there to receive) and that NLRB involvement is not warranted simply because "students may occupy a variety of academic positions in conjunction with their education."
See NLRB: Graduate Students at Private Universities May Unionize, August 24, 2015 Inside Higher Ed
Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer Employees, Final Rule, 80 Fed. Reg. 32391, May 23, 2016.
This rule is effective Dec. 1, 2016. Under this final rule, white collar employees subject to the salary level test earning less than $913 per week (or $ 47,476 per year for a full time worker) will not qualify for the EAP exemption, and therefore will be eligible for overtime, irrespective of their job duties and responsibilities. Employees earning this amount or more on a salary or fee basis will qualify for exemption only if they meet the standard duties test, which is unchanged by the final rule. See the summary on the DOL web page for more. The DOL web page also includes Guidance for Higher Education Institutions on Paying Overtime under the New Rule.

Ever notice how often the left engages in racism?
The super-PAC, Progress Kentucky, sent a tweet last month criticizing McConnell's wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.
"This woman has the ear of @McConnellPress -- she's his #wife. May explain why your job moved to #China!," it read.
The tweet linked to a webpage run by local radio host Jeff Rense, which charged that Chao, a native of Taiwan, discriminated against U.S. workers while running the Labor Department in the George W. Bush administration.
McConnell also addressed the controversy in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" saying that his 2014 fight had "started early," with "a "left-wing group in Kentucky that has already issued racial slurs against my wife and already questioned my own patriotism."
The "left is fully engaged in Kentucky and they'd love to take out the Republican leader of the Senate," he added.
McConnell defended his wife, calling her a "proud Chinese-American."

Real Time
"Oh, you turned into a . . . dog." Laura stifled a laugh. "In fact, you actually kind of look like Phil's dog."
From the end of the bed the big, black dog perked up his ears, and looked at the four people behind him. It was only a cursory glance really, they didn't appear to be offering him food so whatever was going on couldn't be that interesting.
Jenna frowned. "I think this game is going to crash. Look at my screen."
The other three players turned their attention to her DS screens. In the top screen a large black dog, with a strking resmeblence to a certain hound not too far away, was baring its teeth. In the bottom screen however, the game seemed to be scrolling through her character's vital stats. The data was whirling across the screen at quite a high speed, but it was possible to pick out words and phrases.
"Hey!" Jenna jabbed her stylus at the screen. "Did you guys see that?"
Exchanging a quick look, the way that only couple's do, Laura a Phillip leaned in a little closer to their friend.
"Sorry Jen, I must have forgotten to put my bionic eye in this morning." Phillip smirked. "How am I supposed to know what the hell you just pointed at?"
Yeah, because sarcasm is sooo attractive. Rather you than me Laura.
Ignoring the typical Phillip comment, Jenna continued to watch the screen as words and numbers flashed past. To most people it would probably have looked like unrelated information, but to her it was instantly recognisable.
"I don't believe this." she said.
"So it's scanning your character, so what?" Laura was genuinley puzzled. "It's probably configuring it now that you've morphed. This is only a beta version you know, all of this would go on behind the scenes in the published game."
Jenna sighed. "I know what a beta game is, I'm not stupid. But this isn't scanning the character I just created. It's running through a list of characters that I have set up on a bunch of other games, for all I know it might be going through every chanarcter, in every game I ever played"
Leaning across, Phillip snatched the DS from out of Jenna's hands. "Let me see that." He scowled at the screen, but slowly the furrows in his brow began to lift. "Holy crap, you're right. I recognise some of this stuff from playing you online. Vampire the Masquerade, Neverwinter, Dungeons and Dragons: there is stuff from all of them here."
Silence fell across the group.
Laura and Phillip continued to stare at the dual-screens in amazement.
"This is crazy." said Laura. "How can it be accessing information from other games? Especially games that you played on other formats."
Suddenly, Jenna grabbed hold of the small console and began frantically pressing buttons.
"It won't exit the game!" she cried. "Even the power button isn't working."
Jenna began to panick. If a game that was only is beta stages could log onto a wireless network of its own volition, and then start accessing her other online accounts through her log-in, then that meant one of two things.
Virus, or hackers.
Either way, she was not going to have thousands of hours of gameplay stolen or copied.
In fustration she threw the sleek, black console onto the bed. "God damn it guys, I'm being violated here."
Laughing, Ryan picked up the DS and tapped his own stylus against the screen options a few times. Nothing responded. He tried the power button, but it had no effect either.
"Mmm, maybe . . ." mused Ryan.
He held down the power button and waited, intensely aware of Jenna's face right next to his own as she watched. Eventually, after thirty seconds or so, both screens finally went dark.
"Oh!" Jenna exclaimed. She threw her arms around Ryan and planted a huge kiss on his lips. "Thank you so much!"
"Don't be too thankful, I was about to start stamping on it if that didn't work." said Ryan, a slight blush of colour now in his cheeks.
Breathing a huge sigh of relief, Jenna sat back. "No way am I playing anymore of this game tonight."
Laura pulled a face. "Oh come on Jen. It was just a glitch or something. I keep telling you to stop using the same log-ons for every game you play, it probably just got confused as soon as it conneted to the internet and found hundreds of characters with the same passwords and codes."
It is possible I guess . . . but still pretty unnerving. No, I have to know that everything is OK before I even contemplate playing again.
Shuffling forward and off the bed, Jenna grabbed her trainers from off the floor and began to lace them up.
"Sorry guys, I swear I will only be fiftenn minutes at the most." She finished with her footwear and stood up. "I have to go home, and check that my whole network isn't riddled with viruses or something."
The three friends looked at each other, and then at Jenna.
"Are you sure?" asked Laura.
"I can walk with you if you want?" interjected Ryan.
Jenna smiled. "It's fine, honestly. I probably am just being paraniod, but I need to check or it is going to bug me all night. Carry on playing, I won't be long."
It was dark outside, and the wind seemed to have picked up too.
Jenna zipped up her hooded jacket, and stuffed her hands into the pockets.
I can't believe that game had access to all of my networks. That has to be illegal. And Andrew gave Laura that damn game! What was he thinking?
A sharp pang of guilt stabbed at her, immediately after this thought.
Why did everything have to constantly remind her of her dead friend? Her dead potential boyfriend . . .
And why does Ryan have to be so hot? It really confuses the issue.
Climbing carefully over the small gate at the bottom of the yard, so as not to make any noise, Jenna turned to cross the road. There was an alleyway opposite, that cut through to her own street, and would take a chunk out of her journey. She had no desire to be outside any longer than necessary, as the wind was starting to cut through the flimsy protection of her jacket, and chill the skin on her arms and neck. Glancing once at the length of street, illuminated by bright orange lamps, she checked for traffic and jogged across the road.
A stray cat ran out in front of her, just as she reached the shadowy entrance to the alleyway.
Startled, she stumbled a few steps backwards and then regained her balance. "Jesus Christ cat, what are you doing sneaking around out here?"
The animal regarded Jenna with typical feline disdain, and then flicked its tail once for good measure, and resumed its own journey into the night.
And a good night to you too.
The narrow space and high fences in the alley, had turned it into something of a wind tunnel. As Jenna made her way along, head bowed low against the cold, the wind moaned and echoed around her. The fencing panels creaked and strained to stay upright, and somewhere close by a door or gate banged shut over and over.
All of these noises, coupled with her own determined focus to get home as quickly as she could, meant that Jenna did not hear the footsteps behind her. She did not hear the heavy soles of the leather boots that followed her into the alleyway. She did not hear the sound of metal sliding from a scabbard, as a weapon was drawn. And she did not hear the strangled sound, that left the lips of the thing that crawled along the top of the same fence that she was passing. Did not hear it fall to the ground with a wet thud.
All that she heard, was the wind.

Lame Ducks and Divided Government: How Voters Control the Unaccountable
The ability of voters to use the available electoral instruments is crucial for the functioning of democracies. The paper shows that voters consider the institutional environment when making electoral decisions. Voters recognize that executives who face binding term limits (i.e., "lame ducks") have incentives to deviate from the preferences of voters because these politicians are not subject to reelection restrictions. This weakened accountability can be counterbalanced by an alternative mechanism known as divided government. By dividing government control between the executive and legislative branches, voters can force a lame duck to compromise on policies with an opposing legislature. Using a panel data analysis of the US states from 1975 to 2000, it is shown that the probability of divided government is 10-15 percent higher when governors are lame ducks. This effect remains robust and significant even after controlling for many relevant covariates. This result provides evidence of the considerable capacity of voters to process information and use alternative electoral instruments to control an otherwise unaccountable executive.

About Me
I have been taking pictures for years now and have found that I enjoy capturing the beauty that exists and having fun doing so.
I don't shoot studio work. I enjoy active shoots. Runways, clubs, concerts, and outdoors are more enjoyable for me. Even if it is cold outside I would rather do things outside or odd settings. The level of energy is much higher and more exciting than shooting in a studio with set backdrops. I shoot quickly and love to see models having fun and smiling.
I do paid shoots when I go out of town but locally I am willing to do some TFCD.

text: UPDATED 09:48 29th July 2016 Left-winger Harrison endeared himself to supporters after netting the winner on his home debut shortly after signing for the club during the summer of 2011. Moving to United from Bromley, he was twice voted the Kent club's Player of the Year. 25-year old Harrison, who signed a new contract last season which keeps him at the Cambs Glass Stadium until the summer of 2018, is a troublesome presence for any defence thanks to his pace, close ball control and supply of ammunition to the forwards. An unfortunate knee injury saw Harrison spend three months on the sidelines midway through the 2013/14 campaign, but he returned to the matchday squad and played an integral part in United's double-winning end of campaign success. London-born, at the conclusion of the 2015/16 season he had taken his appearance tally in a black and amber shirt to more than 185.

Justin Bieber Writing New Music for 2011 Release
While traveling across the globe for his world tour, Justin Bieber has started writing new songs. The teen pop singer revealed it on Twitter, writing "Been writing alot of songs on the road. excited to just get this music out later this year and record this summer."
Details about his new album are still scarce, but Ne-Yo and Sean Garrett have previously mentioned their involvement in the project. "I am writing for Justin but I'm finding it kinda hard as it's a long time since I was 16 years old," Ne-Yo once said. "[The songs] are not so grown where it's like, 'He doesn't know anything about that stuff,' but it's not bubblegum kiddie stuff, either."
In a separate interview, Sean revealed what he has planned for the Beibs. "What we're trying to do with Justin is to segue him into young adulthood," he said. "The one great thing about Justin Bieber is the fact that his fans are going to grow with him. So we want all the fans that started out with him to still be intrigued and excited about him, but we want to also stretch out a little bit and make the fans that are 22-23 years old love Justin as well."
Bieber himself is currently in Australia. Over the weekend, he prompted rumor that he's going to join forces with Chris Brown after attaching a YouTube audio stream of "Next 2 You", his duet track with Breezy, to his tweet. "AUSTRALIA...we are coming...and there might be some surprises. LEGGO!!" so he wrote.
The Beibs has already done one show in Brisbane on April 26, but he still has six more gigs in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Once the Australian leg is completed, the pop idol will head back to Asia for live concerts in Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Japan vows to defend territory after Chinese ships enter disputed waters
Related topics
Japan's defence minister vowed yesterday to defend the country's territory as three Chinese government ships entered disputed waters off Tokyo-controlled islands in the East China Sea, the first such incident this year.
The Chinese coastguard vessels sailed into the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters at about 8.30am off one of the Senkaku islands, which China also claims and calls the Diaoyus, Japan's coastguard said. They left less than two hours later.
"We can never overlook repeated incursions into territorial waters," Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera said.
"We need to make diplomatic efforts on one hand. We also want to firmly defend our country's territorial sea and land with the Self-Defence Forces co-operating with the Coast Guard."
Chinese state-owned ships and aircraft have approached the disputed islands on and off to demonstrate Beijing's territorial claims, especially after Japan nationalised some of the islands in September 2012.
It was the first time Chinese ships had been spotted since December 29 when three coastguard ships entered the zone and stayed for about three hours.

Washington, Aug 20 : Aussie actress Nicole Kidman's good luck call inspired Australian men's sailing team to win an Olympic gold medal.
Malcolm Page and Nathan Wilmot of the Australian men's 470 sailing team, had won the gold medal on August 19 after receiving a 'best of luck' call from the Aussie beauty.
The call had come to Page's cell phone and since it was an "unknown number" he rejected it before realizing that it was Kidman calling, as reported by Melbourne's Herald Sun. "I was getting breakfast and thought, 'Ah, I just don't want to talk to her today,' so I bumped it," People mag quoted Page as joking.
"Then two seconds later there was a message from Nicole wishing us good luck.
"I ended up returning her call. She was very happy," he said.
Page further revealed that he and his sailing partner had named their boat The Australian after Kidman's upcoming movie.
"She was very surprised that we do have a tradition of naming our boats after her movies and she's just really stoked to be part of a team," stated.
Page and Wilmot have named previous boats after Kidman's films, including Days of Thunder and Dead Calm.
Both athletes were asked if Kidman's call helped them clinch the gold medal.
"It does go a long way, don't worry about that," Page answered.

Glawe's day job is flying a somewhat larger plane—a Boeing 767—for American Airlines. "With these planes, both of us can be in the air in about five minutes," Glawe said. Both were among hundreds of aviation enthusiasts who attended this weekend's second Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-In at New Braunfels Municipal Airport. Both fly airplanes they built themselves that are exactly alike except for their choice of colors. That's because they built them together. "These airplanes are twin sisters," Glawe said. A throwback to the early days of aviation designed in the 1960s, the Hatz biplanes were updated by Dawson and Glawe as they built them in the mid-1990s. Both feature air-cooled, 160-horsepower Lycoming engines. They cost between $30,000 and $40,000 to build, which can take between two and five years depending upon how much mechanical aptitude and time the builder has. "I get a lot of satisfaction out of flying something I built rather than something I bought," Dawson said. Flying an open cockpit biplane with the wind whistling through the wires is a much different experience than flying a closed cockpit small plane, Dawson said. "You don't get that claustrophobic feeling like in a cockpit. It's noisier and windier," Dawson said. "I've gone to Wisconsin several times and Florida once, but this isn't a tun airplane to fly cross-country. "It's like driving a convertible sports car versus a sedan," Glawe said. The Hatz is best enjoyed on a day like Saturday, Dawson said. A cooling breeze, a few clouds overhead and the whole outdoors becomes your playground. "These are sport planes," Dawson said. "They're at their best just flying 30 or 40 minutes and getting them upside down" Upside down? "You have a shoulder harness," Dawson said, alluding to the two open seats — the pilot's located behind the passenger's. "It's not a competition plane, but it's inexpensive to fly, and you can do loops, rolls and stuff like that. Glawe said four guys in this area fly the planes — and one in New Braunfels manufactures them in kit form. "Billy's kind of our Cub Scout leader," Glawe said. "We need adult supervision, and that's his wife, Sherry. She makes sure we get something to eat, things like that." There is no comparison between being a 767 captain and flying ones' own plane in the open air, Glawe said. "I fly the 767 for a living. That pays for this. I do it for fun, but this is love," Glawe said. "This is almost a narcotic once you get into it. It becomes a passion. It s the most fun thing to do with your clothes on." Passport to reading helps students, library By Leigh Jones Staff Writer Seele Elementary students do not need to worry about being bored this summer. Thanks to the summer reading program, sponsored by the Marketplace, Texas Cinema and the Herald-Zeitung, students have a little motivation to spend more time with books and less time in front of the television. On the last day of class, students will take home a "passport" for their summer adventure with 14 pages to record the books they read. At the beginning of next school year, students who successfully fill every page will be treated to an ice cream party and "goodie" bags tilled with prizes. "I think the students are really going to go after this," said Kathy Lamon, Seele Elementary librarian. "The kids like the structure of the passport' and are motivated by the reward at the end." Students in Marcia Hill's third grade class were as excited as their librarian to see the new passports. Sydney Gawlik said she was planning on reading "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe," by C.S. Lewis. "Reading expands your vocabulary," she said. "I've read lots of books." Justin Lewis said he already had read the first book in the "Chronicles of Namia" series but planned on finishing the rest. "The passport is a great way to get kids to read," he said. Lamon said she expected the program to be most beneficial to students who would not normally spend the summer with their favorite books. "There are students who will always read because it's their hobby, but they See PASSPORT, Page 3A COMING FRIDAY 'four of Faith Another church is profiled in our weekly series. Billy Dawson says his Hatz open cockpit biplane is inexpensive to fly and can do loops and rolls. MANDY REARY/Herald-Zeitung Students at Seele Elementary hold up their passports for summer reading. ;

A Letter To God
From the start, O Lord God,
You held me close when I was lost
And believed in me beyond
A shadow of a doubt.
I knew from the beginning,
My life was a wonderful blessing.
I wasn't supposed to ask You why
But you helped me to live
My life every day.
O Lord God, The Most Powerful,
Thank you for everything and for all
The things that are bright and beautiful.
I love you from the deepest of my heart
And I promise my love for you
Will never be apart.

Mean Variance Hedging In A General Jump Market
We consider a financial market in which the discounted price process S is an ℝd-valued semimartingale with bounded jumps, and the variance-optimal martingale measure (VOMM) Qopt is only known to be a signed measure. We give a backward semimartingale equation (BSE) and show that the density process Zopt of Qopt with respect to P is a possibly non-positive stochastic exponential if and only if this BSE has a solution. For a general contingent claim H, we consider the following generalized version of the classical mean-variance hedging problem $$ \min_{\pi\in Adm} E\{(X^{w,\pi}_{\tilde\tau})^2 I_{\{{\tilde\tau}\leq T\}}+|H - X^{w,\pi}_T|^2 I_{\{{\tilde\tau} > T\}}\}, $$ where ${\tilde\tau} = \inf\{t > 0; Z^{\rm opt}_t=0\}$. We represent the optimal strategy and the optimal cost of the mean-variance hedging by means of another backward martingale equation (BME) and an appropriate predictable process δ both with a straightforward intuitive interpretation.

I wont be on blogger much over the next few weeks. My mum is slowly passing away and it is starting to take its toll!
The toll being dealing with a mentally competent older person who is actually seriously ill but denies medical intervention. Actually denies there is anything wrong at all, in the fact that she knows there is something wrong but refuses to do anything about it. Bloody selfish really.
My parents for newer readers were not the best parents, not the worst by a long shot but certainly not the best. They were exemplary grandparents and my main focus at the moment is helping my children deal with this.
Apologies for any bad grammar or spelling mistakes I'm tired. Dealing with the above, errant siblings, GCSE exam revision (not mine), Mike working away etc etc work isn't too bad.....
Some funny's to brighten this post
I've joined Instagram, quite by mistake may I add. My eldest donated his old Ipad to me and I was messing around one evening. Honestly its that easy.
Mike and I were putting the garden to bed over the weekend. We were (I) cutting one of the shrubs back and discovered oodles of caterpillars on it! I forgot about them until yesterday until my eldest shouted me from upstairs. Please bare in mind that he graduated from uni with honours! Whats this on my bed? Erm caterpillars darling!!! pfft
Its my birthday at the weekend. We have put all major plans on hold no Yarndale or nice days out, Or meals come to that I shall be unjoying Kentucky fried rat at my mothers. She might eat some of it you see (she hasn't for the past 10 days) What the hell i'm going to have from there chips and corn on the cob possibly. I digress Mike has bought me lots of lovely presents I will be well and truly spoilt I've ordered a few of them (on Mikes say so) I placed an order at WoolWarehouse for a blanket pack, some extra wool and while I was at it a couple of Tulip crochet hooks. I wasnt paying, what can I say. Except one of the hooks I have placed in the blanket pack and the other has been squirreld? away with my extra yarn. Bad person Joanne Bad person.
I shall try and remember my blogger password so I can comment in work as it is where I am reading your blogs.

The city walls creep around the back of the circular glass building and the racecourse sprawls on the other side of the walls. There's a busy traffic island out front, but the views across the city and the soundproofing enable me to overlook these things.
There are four different kinds of rooms: comfortable, desirable, enviable and fabulous. Despite the daft names, each room comes complete with the kind of carefully-considered extras that make a hotel for me: proper hairdryers and proper coat hangers, a decent iron, full length mirrors, heated bathroom mirrors (no steaming up!), a DVD player, cooling systems that actually work and a Vi-Spring mattress (almost a guarantee of a good night's sleep). Some rooms feature views of the internal piazza, some of the racecourse or city – express your preference when checking in. Every level of room offers something a bit different and the more expensive accommodation has extras like iPod docking stations, free-standing baths in the bedroom and complimentary "tuck box" trays, featuring crisps, nuts, chocolate and juices. I stayed in an enviable room the last time I was at ABode, and loved the orange lights around the bedhead and under the step to the next level, which gave off a lovely glow at night. I also appreciated the latest editions of GQ and Vogue on the coffee table. I like that your keycard allows access only to the floor of your room, plus the reception and restaurant, it's extra peace of mind for security.
Public areas
No lounge to speak of, though the bars and café are open to guests.
Eating and drinking
Celebrated chef Michael Caines has left an imprint on all four eating and drinking options. There's the funky lounge bar on street level, where a resident DJ plays relaxed beats every Friday and Saturday. The MC café bar and grill opens on to the central piazza of the circular building. It's a taste of the fine dining available upstairs and offers real value for money. An al fresco bite to eat is possible year-round under the outdoor heaters. The walls feature celebrity portraits, as do most of the public areas throughout the hotel, and you can take your coffee under the watchful eye of Hugh Grant or the open mouth of Ozzy Osbourne. The Champagne Bar on the fifth floor features knockout views and an impressive array of drinking options. A giant pouting Debbie Harry watches over the bar and a balcony adds to the glamour. The Michael Caines restaurant is causing a stir on the dining scene in Chester. Rightly so, the menu is classic, carried out with aplomb using locally-sourced produce and presented immaculately.
Leisure facilities
A small but functional gym.
Staff in all areas of the hotel are quick with eye contact, and follow that with attentive and polite service.
Who stays there
A real mix of guests. Race-goers and locals love the glamour on offer here, business visitors like the central location and leisure visitors are enjoying something new.
Price advice
Limited spaces are available in the basement car park costing £10 per night. There are other options nearby; the hotel will advise.

For me, the second season of Lost gets knocked down a notch because I didn't like Michelle Rodriguez's character. In fact, I didn't really like anyone in the second section of the plane. It's not that they weren't great characters, it's just that I loved the original cast so much that I wanted to keep up with them. Without knowing where the show was going, I kept waiting to get back to the original gang. Of course, after having seen a few seasons since, everything makes sense and I understand their purpose.
But isn't that what makes Lost so incredible? No one that watches it knows where it's going. And you can't tell me that when you first watched season 2, you had any clue as to what they were going to do with it. For them to be able to keep that up for five seasons (so far) is unbelievable. The second season is the transition for the show from a show about a group of people stranded on an island to something so much more. And even though the second season is the weakest so far, it's still incredible and arguably has the best cliffhanger.
But the real question you should be asking is whether or not this Blu-ray set is worth the $60 upgrade. With all the discounts and coupons floating around, I have to say that this is definitely worth your money. Not many shows are worth a Blu-ray upgrade, but shows that were originally shot and aired in HD (like Lost) are usually a safe bet. Lost is absolutely incredible on Blu-ray and if you're a fan of the show, this is a no-brainer.
Lost Flashbacks (3:26): There's only a few here, two of which revolve around Maggie Grace. I think Lost fans either like the island stuff or the flashback stuff more and I have to say I like the flashback stuff. So these were pretty cool.
Lost Connections: I consider myself an observant person, but this managed to shed light on things I completely missed. It's basically a character map that highlights how random characters interact with each other. Virtually every character, no matter how small, has some seemingly random connection to other characters. I think this would take days to completely go through, but it's fun to check out some of your favorite people.
Secrets from the Hatch (15:47): I wasn't a big fan of the hatch and thought it was distracting from the rest of the show. But here, it gets its own featurette and they talk about how they built it and why they came up with it.
Mysteries, Theories and Conspiracies (10:17): Everyone shows up to talk about the phenomenon that is Lost. Some give their theories, but it's all done in fun and no real information is divulged. It's cute, but a little bit on the fluff side.
Lost: on Location (44:43): About ten episodes have a mini-featurette that takes you on location. Like any stunt-filled show, this one can be a tough shoot. Of course, things are easier when you're living in Hawaii. They're decent, but get a little repetitive.
Fire and Water: Anatomy of an Episode (31:44): They pick an episode and follow it from cradle to the grave. It's an exhausting look at how they come up with episodes and partially explains why there's a long gap between episodes. I thought this was the highlight of the set and well worth the time.
Deleted Scenes (19:16): There are several, actual deleted scenes here, but none of them really add to the story. We get some funny lines from Hurley, but most are bits of dialogue that mean very little.
Bloopers (4:06): These aren't you're typical line-flubbing bloopers. They make a lot of jokes and seem to have a good time together. I had a good time watching these.
The World According to Sawyer (4:32): Four minutes of Sawyer insulting almost every cast member. I love his nicknames and thought this was fun to watch.
Channel 4 U.K. Promo (1:06): Ummmm…not sure what to think of this. It appears to be a television promo that has the cast dancing around for no reason. It's weird.

Yeah, I'm pretty much agreeing with you. The only part of last night I liked was Yang picking Carev for solo surgery and then the awesome McHardcore kiss at the end with the wind blowing. That was cool. But they have to advance that story line. It REALLY seems to me like they hired different writers. None of it seems like the usual awesome Grey's Anatomy! What happened? I don't know if I could ever give up on it, but I'm not liking it right now. I realized it when I found myself unloading the dishwasher and doing some other things while it was on last night and I would never usually do that.
Grey's, come back!!!!!
Ok, I am just about ready to give up on Grey's. This last episode has to be the worst one yet. I cannot stand the Izzie/Denny storyline. It is just going way too over the top for me. Also Sadie is just way too fake as well. It really feels like they are grasping at straws to keep this series alive.
This last episode was pretty bad, but then when Lexie went to Sloan's apartment and just started stripping and saying "teach me...." I wanted to vomit. ack....ack...ack... What has happened to Grey's????????????? Did the writers all get brain tumors???
I do have to say that I thought the residents got off unrealistically easy for going "all McMaverick". In reality, wouldn't they all have been booted from the program? Even Izzy got suspended for that stuff she pulled with Denny. They didnt' even get their hands slapped.
hmm...if i'm reading the right spoiler, it makes me hate the izzy/denny thing more. how are they going to explain it then? There really arent a whole lot of options...either its a brain tumor (or some other weird medical thing causing hallucinations), or izzy is crazy, or he's a ghost. I mean, i guess it could be her imagination, but if so then they have carried it too far (talking with him in front of other people, having "sex" with him in the hospital, etc....more than a simple fantasy yknow?!)
I let Private Practice go after some of their ridiculous storylines and totally inappropriate and unrealistic behavior from the docs....might just have to do the same with Grey's sooner rather than later.
I am pretty sure the spoiler answers your question specifically. I am not sure what else to say without wrecking it for those who don't want to know.

RBS: double bottom in EUR/USD
Analysts at RBS believe that the double inability of EUR/USD to break below 1.2360 indicates a possibility of a double-bottom formation. They forecast a bounce towards 1.2600 and then – to 1.2750 and 1.2840 should the pattern materialize.
"However, a break below 1.2358 would cancel the view for a bounce and target 1.2043," RBS adds.
