Ruse is a residential suburb of Sydney, situated 52km south-west from the CBD. Adjacent are Campbelltown, Leumeah, Airds, and Bradbury.

Who the fug is this?
If the goal is to weed out bad threads, I'm not convinced post count is the best metric. Just because you post a lot does not mean you post quality.
I've been posting on here on a semi-regular basis for 2 years, but I haven't even broken the 100 post count because I try to only post when I feel I have something to contribute to the conversation.
So maybe a lower minimum post count combined with a minimum pie or like count. Or if you really want to get into quality control, some sort of post to pie/like ratio.
who are those blacks?

Apparently people really wanted to see what Shia LaBeouf would look like as 'The Doctor' from Doctor Who.
After joking on Twitter that he would paint Shia as the famous Time Lord, artist Brandon Bird's followers demanded that he do just that.
How angry would people be if I drew Shia LaBeouf dressed as The Doctor.
— Brandon Bird (@Brandon_Bird) September 15, 2014
That settles it, going to do a takeoff of the "every Doctor" poster every artist at a comic con does, but with Shia LaBeouf as each Doctor.
— Brandon Bird (@Brandon_Bird) September 15, 2014
Bird explained the project as an experiment with mashups.
Speaking to Mashable, he said:
I've seen mashups go from being weird and unexpected to a kind of lazy 'thing you like + other thing you like' formula. So I liked the idea of flipping that around and doing 'thing lots of people love (Doctor Who) + thing a lot of people kind of hate (Shia LaBeouf).'
And, we have to admit, Shia looks pretty fetching in some of the various outfits actors portraying The Doctor have worn over the years. Now, we really want to see the Transformers star take on a Dalek though!

InhaltsverzeichnisPreface; Acknowledgements; Editor's introduction: interpreting the historicism of Ogyu Sorai; Principal events in the life of Ogyu Sorai; Biographical synopses; Guide to further reading; Glossary; Bendo: a discourse on the way Ogyu Sorai; Benmei I: the clarification of names (with addenda from Benmei II) Ogyu Sorai; Keizairoku Shui: addendum to 'On the political economy' Dazai Shundai; Index.
Pressestimmen"The distinguishing feature of Najita's book is that it provides in convenient form readable English translations of two of Sorai's key works, A Discourse on the Way and The Clarification of Names, together with Addendum to 'On the Political Economy', by Sorai's disciple, Dazai Shundai. To those already knowledgeable in these fields, the book may be read with great profit." Theodore McNelly, Perspectives in Political Science "This pithy volume, edited by Tetsuo Najita of the University of Chicago, makes available to Western readers important writings on political theory by Ogyu Sorai (1666-1728)." Theodore Mc Nelly, Perspectives on Political Science "...[readers] should also be grateful that Najita has braved the challenge of making such extremely abstruse texts somewhat more accessible." John A. Tucker, Journal of Japanese Studies "This concise and appealing book presents a mayor [sic] reevaluation of Ogyn Sorai...Najita's study is a trenchment and elegant critique of Maruyama's thesis."

Asacol HD
Two Weeks of PAM Triple Therapy for H pylori as Effective as PAC »
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Triple therapy combining a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin, and high-dose metronidazole (PAM) given thrice daily for 14 days provides Helicobacter pylori eradication rates similar to those with triple-therapy "...
Read the Two Weeks of PAM Triple Therapy for H pylori as Effective as PAC article »
Asacol HD
Mechanism Of Action
The mechanism of action of mesalamine is unknown, but appears to be topical rather than systemic. Mucosal production of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, both through the cyclooxygenase pathways, that is, prostanoids, and through the lipoxygenase pathways, that is, leukotrienes (LTs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), is increased in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and it is possible that mesalamine diminishes inflammation by blocking cyclooxygenase and inhibiting prostaglandin (PG) production in the colon.
Plasma concentrations of mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid; 5-ASA) and its metabolite, N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid (N-Ac-5-ASA) are highly variable following administration of Asacol HD tablets. The time to peak plasma concentration (tmax) is prolonged for mesalamine and N-Ac-5-ASA with the median values from various studies ranging from 10 to 16 hours, reflecting the delayed-release characteristics. Based on cumulative urinary recovery of mesalamine and N-Ac-5-ASA from single dose studies in healthy volunteers, approximately 20 percent of the orally administered mesalamine in Asacol HD tablets is systemically absorbed. The absorbed mesalamine is rapidly acetylated in the gut mucosal wall and by the liver to N-Ac-5-ASA which is excreted mainly by the kidney. The PK parameters following administration of 1600 mg three times daily in healthy subjects are shown in Table 2.
Table 2: Mean (± S.D.) PK parameters in healthy
subjects following administration of two 800 mg tablets three times daily for 6
days (n = 16)
|AUCtau (mcg h/mL)
|20 ± 14
|25 ± 11
|Cmax (mcg/mL)
|5.0 ± 4.0
|4.6 ± 2.5
|t½ (h)
|12.6 ± 10.9*
|23.6 ± 11.2#
|*n = 11, #n = 6
A high fat meal does not affect the extent of systemic exposure to mesalamine after single-dose administration of Asacol HD, but mesalamine Cmax decreases by 47 percent and tmax is delayed by 14 hours under fed conditions.
One Asacol HD 800 mg tablet has not been shown to be bioequivalent to two Asacol 400 mg tablets. In a single dose, cross-over pharmacokinetic study in 20 healthy volunteers, the mean mesalamine Cmax was 36 percent lower and the mean mesalamine AUC was 25 percent lower with administration of one Asacol HD 800 mg tablet relative to two Asacol 400 mg tablets. Because the mechanism of action of mesalamine appears to be topical, the impact of these differences in measures of systemic exposure on clinical efficacy is not known.
Animal Toxicology And/Or Pharmacology
In animal studies (rats, mice, dogs), the kidney was the principal organ for toxicity. (In the following, comparisons of animal dosing to recommended human dosing are based on body surface area and a 4.8 g/day dose for a 50 kg person.)
Mesalamine causes renal papillary necrosis in rats at single doses of approximately 750 mg/kg to 1000 mg/kg (1.3 to 1.7 times the recommended human dose). Doses of 170 and 360 mg/kg/day (about 0.3 and 0.6 times the recommended human dose) given to rats for six months produced papillary necrosis, papillary edema, tubular degeneration, tubular mineralization, and urothelial hyperplasia.
In mice, oral doses of 4000 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.4 times the recommended human dose) for three months produced tubular nephrosis, multifocal/diffuse tubulo-interstitial inflammation, and multifocal/diffuse papillary necrosis.
In dogs, single doses of 6000 mg (approximately 6.25 times the recommended human dose) of delayed-release mesalamine tablets resulted in renal papillary necrosis but were not fatal. Renal changes have occurred in dogs given chronic administration of mesalamine at doses of 80 mg/kg/day (0.5 times the recommended human dose).
Clinical Studies
Moderately Active Ulcerative Colitis
The efficacy of Asacol HD at 4.8 g/day was studied in a six-week, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study in 772 patients with moderately active ulcerative colitis (UC). Moderately active UC was defined as a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) score of 2; the PGA is a four-point scale (0 to 3) that encompasses the clinical assessments of rectal bleeding, stool frequency, and sigmoidoscopy findings.
Patients were randomized 1:1 to the Asacol HD 4.8 g/day group (two Asacol HD tablets three times a day) or the Asacol (mesalamine) 2.4 g/day group (two Asacol 400 mg tablets three times a day). (One Asacol HD 800 mg tablet has not been shown to be bioequivalent to two Asacol 400 mg tablets [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].)
Patients characteristically had a history of previous use of oral 5-ASAs (86 percent), steroids (41 percent), and rectal therapies (49 percent), and demonstrated clinical symptoms of three or more stools over normal per day (87 percent) and obvious blood in the stool most or all of the time (70 percent). The study population was primarily Caucasian (97 percent), had a mean age of 43 years (8 percent aged 65 years or older), and included slightly more males (56 percent) than females (44 percent).
The primary endpoint was treatment success defined as improvement from baseline to Week 6 based on the PGA. Treatment success rates were similar in the two groups: 70 percent in the Asacol HD group and 66 percent in the Asacol group (difference: 5 percent; 95 percent CI: [-1.9 percent, 11.2 percent]).
A second controlled study supported the efficacy of Asacol HD at 4.8 g/day. Treatment success was 72 percent in patients with moderately active UC treated with Asacol HD.

Correspondence to: Lawrence B. Marks, MD, Box 3085, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710; e-mail: email@example.com
Treatment of lung cancer with conventional radiation therapy is
associated with suboptimal local tumor control and poor long-term
survival. Poor local tumor control may result from inaccurate tumor
targeting, failure to satisfactorily conform to dose distribution with
the target volume, and/or inadequate radiation doses. Three-dimensional
treatment planning is a radiotherapy technique that provides more
accurate dose targeting via the direct transfer of three-dimensional
anatomic information from diagnostic scans into the planning process.
This technology can assist treatment planning by providing dose-volume
histograms, an estimation of normal tissue complication probabilities,
and facilitate dose escalation. Preliminary clinical studies suggest
that this is a feasible approach worthy of additional study. The
three-dimensional tools provide new opportunities to better understand
radiation-induced changes in pulmonary function.

July 17th Update
Just Ask Kim Free WordPress & Social Media Q&A Calls
These calls have been a fun success and will be ongoing twice monthly at least through December. Once time block is for the US time zones and the other is for the international time zones, but feel free to attend any or all you wish! Bring your WP, FB & SM questions and get them answered LIVE! https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/208065082
Recordings are available to purchase and are also available free to my PBY students!
Just-Ask-Kim.com Blog Troubles
It's a big long story, but I did something that the host of that blog didn't think I should do. It is one of the few blogs I have that I had not already migrated to HostGator and I was paying the penalty. It was partially due to a code problem but at the end of the day resulted in them treating me very very poorly. All of the 503 errors and such you saw were them locking me out/down and being unwilling to assist me in troubleshooting. This is why I'm currently sitting in default theme until my upcoming move. All of this leads to…
New Hosting Packages, WP Installations, Blog Setups
To isolate the trouble in my code, I'm moving my blog to a VPS hosting solution with HostGator (top company in support in the market currently). A VPS is a bit like having a dedicated server and what it means is I will essentially become my own hosting company. I will be able to sell both hosting and reseller hosting accounts. It's not cheap but it's a pretty logical move for my business. So I will be offering hosting, WordPress installations, WordPress setups, support packages, plugin setups and more. I've even got one artist on retainer and two more by affiliate to help you get custom art work. All of this is coming in the next couple weeks! (I have to get the VPS set up and move my own sites first!)
Profit Being You (PBY)
The Profit Being You WordPress & Social Media class that Jodie Thompson and I teach is moving to a brand new membership community which I am currently building. We are in the process of migrating to that and very excited about it. From a techy standpoint it's been a lot of work but a lot of fun to construct and I'm learning a ton! Forum, chat room, private messaging, member only content, sales platform, affiliate platform, etc. Good stuff! We will be leaving both Ning and Nanacast. This also means if you're my affiliate for PBY you need to get new affiliate links! http://profitbeingyou.com/affiliates/ (Two are already added there, more are coming!)
Since I'd like to have the new media library functional before I can do all the recordings, if anyone would like contribute single-topic short training videos to the member library, they may include your own branding as long as they do not include a pitch. This is a great opportunity for members and friends alike to get some additional exposure until I have time to re-shoot most of these modules. I am also looking for blog post style success stories with either PBY or personal branding as a whole. These are for the PBY blog and can get you a personal backlink if you're interested!
Syndication Alliance
So much has changed in the world of Syndication Tribes in just a few short months and SA has had to constantly evolve, move and roll with the punches. I recently did an article on all the types of Syndication Tribes and how they fit together. Because of the time involvement with SA, and the amount of love that SA needs but has simply not been able to get with so much of that work on my shoulders as I go through some serious personal (relationship/divorce) troubles, we've decided to move SA under PBY's protective wing.
Syndication Alliance, to become PBY Tribe, will become just one portion of PBY's FREE membership tier. Functionally it means a change of website (again yes I know, I'm sorry LOL!) and a name change, but beyond that it means that students will be more easily able to step up and help with the workload. Everyone wins! I don't have a Tribe landing page up, but you can register for our free "welcome level" membership here. The site is still a work in progress but should be together soon!
Commentluv Blogging Challenge
The Comluv.com & FamousBlogger.net Blogging Challenge is well underway! Entries are closed – but points for retweets from the on-post counter and comments on the post itself will still be counted all the way through August 5th! You can RT and comment (for points for me!) as many times as you like! As it stands I'm about 40 comments behind the lead post and I don't know where I stand regarding points for content quality and bonus points for some other actions. Please come hang out on the post/thread, interact with others and help me win this! http://comluv.com/news/5-powerful-tactics-get-more-comments/ <– my post! I would like to do something special for all who comment on it (particularly those that comment more than once) and I'm currently looking for suggestions!
31DBBB – 31 Days to Build A Better Blog – Starts July 26th!
Starting July 26th I'm launching a 31DBBB Challenge, based on the ProBlogger book by that name! I invite you to check out the challenge and then grab a copy of the book (affiliate link) and join me! The book's not expensive and its one of those foundation books in the blogging industry!
Thank You!
I want to say thanks to everyone that has shared countless shoulders, listening ears, and patience over the last few months. Please don't think you go unnoticed even while I have been often too exhausted to properly reciprocate. Some days it's an effort to find the energy to show up. Also a huge thank you to everyone that has sent work my way! I love working for and with the community and the income is needed with all the relationship stuff going on. I'd be lying if I said things were not rough – real rough – but it's because of you that I have a reason to keep moving forward. You have been the biggest blessing to me!
My love and appreciation to you!

Eider Target Knit Spirit Jacket Men's
The unique heathered finish of the Eider Target Knit Spirit Men's Jacket will get all the compliments, but the Gore Tex Active Shell waterproof and breathable membrane is what will keep you fired up while you're wearing it. Active Shell blocks wind, too, so the Spirit is at home in all sorts of soggy and unpleasant mountain weather, even if it looks more like a city jacket than a highly technical trail piece. Its DWR finish beads and sheds precipitation, while the fully taped seams prevent insidious dampness from creeping in at the body and the laminated hood brim helps keep water away from your face. The Spirit has a slim, alpine ready fit and extremely packable lightweight fabric, so it's easy to stow when the weather turns. The Spirit has mesh lined hand pockets that double as vents, integrated thumbholes to keep your wrists covered and your sleeves in place, and a drop tail hem for extra coverage where it matters.

Reviews for The Landmark London
I stayed at The Landmark for the first time. The rooms very spacious with excellent amenities. The check in process was excruciatingly slow. The request for an early check in turned out to be very late. Anyways, the location of the hotel, next to the marylebone station was excellent and it is very easy to approach oxford street, marble arch, edgware road and Hyde park on foot.

We recently stayed at the Landmark to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. At check in we were told that we had been upgraded to an executive room. Thank you for the cards, chocolates and the 'interesting' towel sculpture! Breakfast was to the highest standard (as always). We dined in the Winter Garden in the evening and enjoyed a sumptuous meal served by such friendly and helpful staff. Our two night stay was faultless and we would thoroughly recommend this true five star hotel. Thanks to all of the staff at the Landmark for making our stay so enjoyable.

Went with my husband for a wonderful meal at the winter garden in The Landmark. First impressions, wonderful entrance to the hotel. Calm and peaceful surroundings. Walking through to the wintergarden eating area, great scenery. Lovely ambiance, great customer service at the reception. Took myself and my husband to our table promptly. Waitress made us feel comfortable and served us straight away with our menu. The waitress explained the food menu and took our order. Fabulous food was served. Great presentation and fabulous service. One great thing was that we were not rushed to leave. I would recommend the Wintergarden at The Landmark for a relaxing, calm and pleasant meal with great service and smile.

The Landmark certainly is a "Grand Hotel" that is nicely located very close to Marylebone Station. The welcome was nice and friendly. The only issue was that we did not receive our luggage for quite a while. When we checked in we were told to receive the luggage soon. After coming back from a first walk the luggage was not in the room. So I went to reception asked for the luggage and was told again that it will be in the room shortly. After another hour I went back to the reception and we had to start looking for the luggage. After nearly 20 minutes of waiting and looking for the luggage we have found it. That was approximately 3.5 hours after arrival. Our room was nice although we had no fresh air due to the fact that the window faced the atrium. That would have been difficult for a longer stay since the air-condition alone is no substitute for fresh air. The positive thing is that the room was quiet. The bathroom was nice although the toilet flush did not work properly which nobody seems to have recognized within our 3 days of stay. All in all the atmosphere was really good and the team is very friendly.

Loved my stay in this historic hotel! Rooms were lovely and very large! Service was impeccable and always willing to assist! I had room service after midnight and only had USD so the waiter went down to exchange for me! I ran out of coffee and the maid was right there bringing me more! Plus the bartender in the 222 was knowledgeable about my drink & bites order. Very friendly and never stuffy at all. Check in was late and my reception was friendly and went out of their way to make my stay even better. Please sign up for their membership! I was upgraded to a Studio which was quite large and perfecto! I can't wait to go back!

Whilst Paul the Octopus was recently gaining notoriety predicting World Cup results in Germany, in Hong Kong, another kind of octopus was getting itself into some distinctly hotter water.
Octopus Rewards, a local reward programme operator, had been caught selling member data to a number of local telemarketers. Whilst what they were doing was probably not illegal under Hong Kong's privacy legislation, overnight the operator managed to massively raise the profile and awareness of data privacy issues in the city.
This has an immediate knock-on effect on consumers; causing them to double check their email inbox to ensure that only the most trusted brands were getting through. Unlike the sneaky cephalopod's (mostly) unwelcome promotional phone calls, consumers are far more able to exercise control over who talks to them by email.
It takes just one unwelcome email to have you flicked into the spam box. Not only have you kissed goodbye to that customer, some mail service providers may consign all your emails to their customers to the spam box at the same time.
Working with our clients over the years, we have always advocated an approach of complete openness, honesty, and promotion of the highest standards of preference and privacy management. These are practices that not only ensure your emails are more likely to be delivered and opened, but also demonstrate to your customer that you are a brand that cares about and respects them.
Here is a timely reminder of some best practices to follow:
Privacy policy – Have a clear and accessible privacy policy online and summarised on the footer of each email. Outline your commitment and your customers' rights. Doing this will bring a significant level of comfort to customers, that you are a responsible brand, without them even ever reading your policy. Your policy should also make it clear what your customer is signing up for and what they might expect, such as signing up for news about hotel offers and getting an avalanche of dining offers instead. Not necessarily a problem if you have made that clear to the customer up front.
Opting out – Make it easy to opt out. One click and one confirmation; the simplicity provides comfort that will reduce usage. Sometimes marketers forget to update the opt-outs in their databases, so it helps to maintain an opt-out database at the email broadcast provider. They will thank you as they get to maintain their credentials with ISPs and mail service providers.
Subscription double opt-in – This is great for customers to really understand what they are getting themselves into. Once you sign up online an email is immediately dispatched to the registered address and the customer needs to click on a link to validate your subscription request. Great for stopping your buddies signing your work email up for a daily dose of Jenna Jameson.
Say no to third-party lists – This does not pay! When buying or renting a list, you're buying into the vendor's business and privacy ethics and often questionable collection methods. Unfortunately, none of this is to a particularly high standard. E-mail from companies where there is no consenting relationship increasingly does not get opened. You're not making any friends with the email service providers either. With the usually high bounce backs, most email service providers will put your emails on deferral or even blacklist your IP address as soon as your bounce backs hit a certain threshold.
At the end of the day, adopting the highest standards for customer privacy is plain and simple good business practice; customers don't generally buy stuff from people who annoy the heck out of them.
Good standards lead to a greater level of trust, higher opening rates, and greater engagement. You get your message across and the customer is more likely to buy something.

Ripoff Report

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Virel Maxwell worked for my parents as a home attendant in Brooklyn, NY, first caring for my mother, then for my father after my mother passed away in 2002. My father passed away in October, 2007, at the age of 93.
Virel told me and my wife that my father had asked her to repay investments he had made in a nursing home that she owns in Jamaica (Avondale Nursing Home, 28 Avondale Road, Spanish Town, Jamaica). I asked how much this would be and Virel said she would find out when she got a chance to go thru her records.
I was surprised to hear about these investments since my wife and I had met with Henni Fisher who originally referred Virel to my parents (in her role as leader of an Alzheimer's and aging resources center) February 12, 2000 (and paid $100 for the meeting) and we thought she would tell them to stop the financial dealings. Later, when I asked her about what she told them, she didnt remember the meeting at all.
A week after the funeral, Virel returned to Jamaica to take care of a sick relative, and was delayed in returning to the US due to the Jamaican government wanting "DNA information about her granddaughter".
She told me she would meet with me when she got back to NY, and that would be "soon". In the last three years I have been able to reach her by phone 3 or 4 times and each time she said that our lawyers would meet. Still there has been no meeting.
Meanwhile, my father's lawyer recently wrote to me: "the only thing I know about the investment is that your dad told me about it being a mistake and he wished he never did it".

Yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show, Sony Computer Entertainment chairman Kaz Hirai announced that the company has sold 500,000 PlayStation Vitas since the machine went on sale in Japan on December 17th.
The Vita was off to a rip-roarin' start during its first weekend on sale, sales of the machine sagged a bit, causing some retailers to cut the 3G model's price by as much as 20 percent. It seems that while the earliest adopters were ready, many others couldn't get themselves away from the latest Monster Hunter game.
The Vita is set to launch worldwide on February 22nd.

Hi everyone, We are experiencing strong speed decrease when using an external database (sql or oracle) located on a different machine. It looks that each rmi or db call from JackRabbit (org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingPreparedStatement) are twice slower. I would expect some slowness but not that much. We tried to optimize setting a DB connection pool in the datasource config without success. Does somebody has any experience on that? Any way to improve db connection/transfer process.

Threat Of Flooding In Fort McMurray Has Passed
FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — After weeks of worrying about a wildfire and smoke, evacuees returning to Fort McMurray in northern Alberta had to deal with a lot of rain on Thursday.
The oilsands city was hit by showers that prompted an Environment Canada warning about heavy rain and the possibility of flash flooding.

But today's forecast is calling for mostly sunny conditions in the region with a chance of showers periodically over the weekend.
Thousands of people who fled last month's wildfire have been returning to the city and outlying communities since June 1.
Despite the rain, the government says people must continue to follow the ban on fires and off-highway vehicles as the forest is expected to dry out again.

Welcome at my stop on the 'Lovefools' blog tour. I'm really excited to participate in this tour and I hope you enjoy your stay! ;)
About the Book:
As the great Jane Austen once said, "We are all fools in love."
Devastated by his betrayal, Phin escapes to Costa Rica for a week with her best gal pal, hoping to give her heart a chance to heal. Dez—a foul-mouthed, man-eating sex-pot—makes it her mission to distract Phin from her breakup woes with a healthy dose of sun, fun,…and Costa Rican man-candy. But the only man who catches Phin's eye is a handsome and mysterious stranger she meets at the airport.
Byron is a guy whose angle Phin just can't figure out. All she knows is that he's a thief... First, he tries to steal her luggage. Then, he tries to steals her massage. Finally, he tries to steal her heart. But Byron has his own secrets—the real reason he's in Costa Rica being one of them. When Phin uncovers his duplicity, she is faced with yet another heartbreak.
Things take a dramatic turn when a ghost from Phin's past resurfaces to win her back...or so he claims. Will Phin learn to believe in love again…or will love play her like a fool?
This book is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords and Kobo.
My Review:
When I read the blurb about 'Lovefools' it immediately sounded like my kind of book. A love story based in a beautiful country. What can possible be bad about it?
I participated in the cover reveal of 'Lovefools' at June 24th and I seriously loved the cover. The cover of 'Lovefools' is just very natural and thankfully it fitted this book perfectly. So you can understand I was very excited to start in this book.
In 'Lovefools' we follow Phinegan Swift. Phinegan is heartbroken ever since her boyfriend broke her heart in a trillion little pieces. Thankfully, Phin has Dez, her best friend who also happens to be a complete man-eating-sex-addict. Dez is determined to make Phin forget about her bad ex. But Phin isn't easily distracted. That is until she meets Byron. And soon the only thing to get Phin from thinking about her ex is the extremely handsome Byron. But who is this man?
Byron is a mystery man who Phin met on the airport. Somehow Phin and Byron keep bumping into each other and soon Phin finds herself being swept of her feet. But Byron is keeping secrets and Phin isn't prepared to get her hard broken all over again.
'Lovefools' is the perfect summer-time read. From the first page on I liked this story. It's easy to read, funny and there's a nice dose of friendship and love concealed in this book. I can totally see myself reading this book with a cocktail in my hand while lying on a nice beach. But it was also totally worth reading on my sunny balcony. LOL
Although this book travels very fast sometimes (I mean there a declarations of love after the third meeting :|) I still really enjoyed it. I loved the chemistry between Phin and Byron, and the best friend Dez really made me laugh a lot. In the beginning of this book there where many times when I wanted to scream at Phin to not be so damn stupid. Phin was pining over her stupid ex and I really wanted to smack her in the face. Thankfully Dez was not afraid to open up her mouth, and she told Phin what I really would like to have said to her if this was real life.
The one down fall about this book was the length. I really would have loved to read more about Phin and Byron. This book was just too short. But at the other hand I don't think this book would ever be long enough.
"That saying about love being blind is right. But whoever came up with that quote forgot to add the part about love making you blind. Not to mention the painful part about being blindsided by love.
Now that it'd happened to me, I was sure the world would never look the same to me again.
I used to be a believer in love—real love. That white knight, fairy-tale, til-the-end-of-time kind of love. But that was before yesterday, when I got sucker punched by the only thing I'd ever really believed in.
And now, I didn't know what to believe in."

As my oldest daughter rapidly approaches the tweens, her behavior has grown more complex. Sometimes she is the very model of cooperation and compliance, but there are other times when my sweet little girl transforms into a moody grouch who bristles with hostility.
Last month, after an incident that required us to lay down a more serious consequence than the usual time-outs, we elevated to taking away two weeks of all screen time – TV, movies, video games, and computer. K was furious. Predictably, as is her defense mechanism, she lashed out at us. There were the usual accusations of unfairness and mistreatment.
Then K tossed in the added bullet: "You don't love me. I want to go live with my birthmother. She is the only grown-up who cares about me!"
I responded with, "Even when you try to test us, we will never stop loving you. And I know that you know that we love you, no matter what."
"Yeah, right!" she shot back, rolling her eyes at me and hissing. I stayed calm, consciously working not to display any sign of upset or anger, and merely repeated that we loved her.
It is when our kids are acting the most unlovable that they need our love the most. Of this I have no doubt. But I did have doubts about how I was responding to K, because she seemed so unreachable. I could see that we were not getting anywhere. She was not in a place to have a rational discussion, and I decided to let her have her space.
I left K in her room, listening to the music of Taylor Swift, hoping that time and distance would be the balm that soothed her.
Looking for insight from other parents, I posted a question on the Portrait Facebook page, and asked how other moms and dads respond when their kids ask to go live with their birthparents.
I quickly discovered that K's angry comment about wanting to go live with another parent was certainly not unique to adopted children.
Divorced parents wrote sympathetic comments about how their children basically say the same thing, professing a desire to go live with the other (noncustodial) parent whenever they were angry. "I want to go live with mom" or "I want to go live with dad" were statements tossed out in anger and frustration by their kids too.
One woman shared a comment that seemed to cover it all: "My children say stuff like that all the time, and they are born and raised by me. So completely typical. If she didn't have a birthmom to throw out there, she would use grandma, or auntie or any other adult other than YOU! Heck, I wished I had the birthmom option when I was a kid. I would have packed my bags and hit the road. My advice is take it with a grain of salt, just like every mother has to do. (PS - I am a birthmother and I fully expect to get that call some day from my daughter. And I expect that my response will be the same as what I tell my boys when they call me from their dad's house telling me how horrible it is and I need to come get them. I tell them I love them and I am sure they are mad, but sometimes parents make us mad. Then I tell them to put dad on the phone. That usually ends it right there.)"
I took a lot of heart from the many stories that people shared with me that day, knowing that kids will tell us they hate us at regular intervals! Ahh, the rewards of parenthood!
What was really interesting to me was the texting conversation I had that same day with K's birthmom, M. She is a member of the Facebook community that follows Portrait, and so she saw that I posted about K wanting to go live with her.
M wanted to know if I was okay and also she was sorry K had said that. Very sweet, and exactly what I would expect from her. She asked me what had happened that led to K's disciplinary consequences. When I told her, M responded that she was very upset and "disappointed".
I found myself in the amusing position of then reassuring K's birthmom that all kids act out and that K was no different. Truthfully, K had tested the boundaries, and we responded, but this was normal behavior for a kid.
M, ever the perceptive, insightful woman that I love, was able to identify why she felt so dismayed to learn that K had misbehaved. She texted to me that "I just have this mental image that she's perfect, u know? Kind of like her image of me."
And that nails it. K and M have each other on a pedestal. When K is mad at me, she hollers that she wants to go live with M, because in her mind, M is the ideal. Meanwhile, M holds an image of K as the perfect little girl, and she was startled to find that K is just like every other kid that misbehaves.
And although I have no problem letting M know that K is not perfect, I have absolutely no intentions of telling K negative things about her birthmother. There is a small immature part of me that wants to respond, "Your life would not be nearly as full!" when K tries to wound me with her comments about preferring M. I bite my tongue and tell her that I'm sorry she feels that way. A much better response, according to the many psychology books I have read about adoption.
As M and I texted about the situation, she sent me a message that said "I feel a blog topic coming on! Lol!" Well, she was right about that, but I purposefully wanted to wait a few weeks to see if I could add an "epilogue" to this event. And I can!
Later that day after K shouted that she wanted to go live with M, my little girl came up to me an offered an unsolicited, simple apology. She also stated that she knows how much I love her. I thought maybe we were past the episode, but during the first few days of her no-screen-time, she remained angry at losing her privileges. She acted out so much that I tacked a third week of no-screen-time onto her punishment.
And then, amazingly, K stopped fighting with me about it. She accepted her punishment – dare I say it? graciously – and she even told me that she enjoyed having more time to read and play with her toys. We saw an explosion in her reading over the past month, and she has settled into much better behavior overall.
K has actually been the easiest of my three girls for several weeks now! She does her homework, practices her piano, cleans her room, and gets ready for school on time. She has been unusually affectionate, and I have been blessed with many spontaneous hugs and kisses. It makes my heart sing.
K likes to pick me up and call me "tiny mommy" (my third grader is almost my size – M makes 'em big, and we make 'em small). When I want to snuggle her, I climb onto the couch and pull my girl onto my lap. She is the baby that made me a mommy again. I wouldn't trade her for the world.
My daughter may say that she wants to go live somewhere else, but as her mommy, I will always be waiting to welcome her back. She can throw down sharp obstacles and I will carefully climb over them. She can hide behind curtains of anger, and I will part them until I find her. She can build walls of isolation around her, and I will chip away at the fortress until it crumbles.
Love always finds a way. It seeks the tiniest crack in the facade and pushes its way through, filling the empty space and expanding beyond what you can see. And adoption is love times a thousand. It is love that knows no obligation. K is not flesh of my flesh. She is spirit in my soul.

started harvesting howgate wonder today.
I'm celebrating the beginning of our first harvest from our espalier howgate wonder apple. I know only unblemished apples can be stored - are these blemishes significant enough to warrant eating now and not storing? Thanks!
Trying to stop the local moggy pooing on our lawn. Tried scattering orange peel which I thought was doing the trick but seemingly not effective enough. Don't really want to get an ultrasonic thing as I can hear them. ANy other ideas?
Thanks, I'll save some egg boxes. I'm hoping they'll feature in Christmas dinner...
We have a howgate wonder apple tree with some whoppers growing, the first year we've had apples. The nursery said harvest november, eat December. Do the apples need storing before eating or can they be eaten or cooked straight away?
Thanks! Up to 4 metres tall and 4 metres spread - it's defninitely for the chop, much as it's a magnificent plant.
can anyone ID this shrub? It's taller than me, pollinators arent' too fussed about the flowers and it's only produced berries once.
My beetroot and chard have been out for a f ew weeks. I harden them off over a week, first letting htem spend the day outside with some protection, then leaving them wedged between some pots with protection (coldframe is on my birthday list).
Thanks! It's a trellis fence, but same logic I guess.

Wine – it's a magical, wonderful drink. The essence of the land, some might say, preserved in a set of endlessly variant liquids, which range…
Cleaning & Sanitation
Winemaking Cleaning and Sanitation
The debris left over from a previous batch can carry bacteria that reacts badly with the yeasts and the sugars. Dirt and contamination ruin perfectly good batches of wine. That's why it's important to clean and sanitize all of your wine making equipment thoroughly before and after every batch you make, but be careful about which harsh cleanser you use. Some industrial soaps and cleaners will stick to the sides of your carboy and brewing implements which will ruin any batch of wine. Rinsing with the hot water helps, but it is best to only use dedicated winemaking cleaning supplies and winemaking sanitation chemicals on your fermentation equipment in the first place.
Keeping Your Equipment in Top Condition
Making wine is not only fun because you get to drink it but also because you get to taste the variations of flavors you created. Sometimes your wines come out better than you expected, and you will want to be able to replicate the results. However, that can be very difficult to do after contaminates enter your winemaking equipment. The skill of reproducing favorable results begins with proper cleaning and sanitation.
You will need the supplies that work best for your specific needs. The chemicals in your water have a major impact on the the flavor of your wines, but it also has an impact on how your cleaners interact with the surfaces of your equipment. An alkaline wash helps to reduce the excessive calcium found in your water supply. Evidence of this can be found on your wine glasses when you get water spots that are hard to remove. Hard waters spots are places where other contaminants may hide. If your tap water already contains too much calcium, you will need to address this issue to get your carboy and bottles truly clean.
Other environmentally friendly sanitizers are designed to kill bacteria without leaving chlorine residue on your equipment. This helps to keep unpleasant chemical flavors from being introduced into your batch. Environmentally friendly cleaners are also better for your home plumbing. This is especially true if you live in a rural area and depend on a septic system. If your washing station is outside of your normal kitchen and lacks adequate drainage, you will need to be able to dispose of your waste water without contaminating the ground around your home.
Scrub brushes and jet nozzles make it so that you are able to clean inaccessible areas. The mouth of your glass bottles and carboys are too small for your hands to fit inside. A wash nozzle sprays a jet of water into these areas and can be used to clear out the tubes and lines you use to transfer your wine from one container to another. Specially shaped brushes can reach to scrub along the inside of your bottles.
For your plastics, it is important not to scratch the surfaces of your containers and tools. Bacteria can hide in small cracks and scratches you accidentally create while cleaning. Even with thorough scrubbing, these irritants can be difficult to remove. It is better to use scrubbing cloths that remove dirt without leaving scratches to help extend the life of your plastics.
Proper cleaning and sanitation is part of the skill of brewing wine at home. To get the best results out of each batch, make sure you are using the best quality products on your fermentation equipment. Find all of the top quality cleaning and sanitation supplies you need at Wine Cooler Direct.

They seem much happier the more we have them out and about than the first couple of times. This product is made well and is an added plus for our Jeep as well as the fur babies.

(Photo by Erik Karlsson) EU WD votes to fund lobbyist Aquifer board wants expertise, full-time approach to issue By KATHRYN SCHOEMER Staff Writer In a 9-2 vote, the Edwards Underground Water District Wednesday approved funds for a lobbyist to support the district's proposed legislation. Board members Carol Patterson and Hans Hellend dissented and Charles Rodrigue/ abstained from the vote. EU WD Board member Harry Bishop made the motion, Frances Emery seconded it and it was approved. "We as a board don't have the time and we don't have the connections that a lobbyist would have," said board member Jo Ann De Hoyos. Although a lobbyist could not support everything, he could work full time supporting the issues that are most important to the board, she said. As much as $100,000 will be transferred from last year's ending balance and $40,000 from another account into the 1991-92 fund to help fund the legislative counsel. In September, the board voted for proposed legislation to help conserve water used from the Edwards Aquifer. That legislation will be presented to legislators by the approveid lobbyist at a future date. While the majority supported the legislature, some board members felt the district needed to reach a consensus before funds were allocated for a lobbyist. "We have no bills or sponsor, but just an outline. That's a quarter of a million dollars gone" if board members can't reach an agreement. There's no sense spending $160,000 when "there's a slim chance of bring ing it together," said Patterson. Rodriguez believed board members should present proposed legislation to legislators because they were the ones who voted on it. "I never felt we should spend a quarter of a million dollars on a lobbyist and because I felt we could get by with less and do more ourselves," he said. Other board members chided dissenting members for being too cheap with the aquifer. "A lot of us have worked too hard, trying to protea the aquifer and to see it go downhill because we are afraid to budget, much less spend a few dollars ... is ridiculous," said EUWD Board Secretary Jerri Martin. EUWD Board member Robert Hass I ocher wanted to fund the lobbyist, but review changes on the proposed laws. "I would prefer that it come back to the board" in order for members to monitor legislation, he said. But board members felt that wouldn't be necessary If members monitored every piece of changed legislation, it would be a constant deluge of paper work, Rodriguez said. Other EUWD Board members al the meeting held at Viaona Bank and Trust's North Building in New Braunfels include: General Manager Russell Masters, Chairman Kenneth Ikels and Craig Hollmig. At its next meeting, the EUWD Board will consider funding $200,000 for an educauon campaign. "It is time now to tell the public what we do and what we're responsible for,'' Hassio-uher said. Hie board will vote on this issue during its regular meeung on March 12. Comal County reports higher sales By STEPHANIE FERGUSON New* Editor Despite the governor's call for a moratorium of all hazardous waste permits, state and local officials are contending legislation is still the answer to stop such permits being approved. And Sen. Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) is busy pursuing three different forms of legislation. Rep. Edmund Kuempel (R-Seguin) also is pursuing similar legislation. "The governor's support is Zaffinni certainly important and impressive and helpful but we still need the weight of legislation to get this done," Zaffinni said. Gov. Ann Richads called for a two-vear moratorium in early February on permits for commercial iuzardo us waste incinerators, cement kilns that bum hazardous waste and injection wells. "Her (moratorium call) is just a personal preference and has to be supported by the weight of the law," Zaffinni said. Zaffinni's staff — working closely with the law firm Hooper A Haag that is representing the city of New Braunfels the matter of stopping a local jorporauon from storing and burning fiazardous waste — has developed three forms of legislauon that is aimed al strengthening emulations concerning the storage and burning of hazardous waste. • Senate Bill 348 would place a moratorium on the burning of hazardous waste in cement kilns or industrial furnaces unui Sept. 1993. • Senate Bill 349 would prohibit the turning of fiazaruous waste m cement kilns or industrial furnaces within five miles of an established school, park. public hospital or nursing home sull in service. • Senate Bill 350 would ban theState conference T he Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie and Auxiliary #2999 will be hosting the Texas State Leadership Conference at Eagles Hall March 8-10.

' It's a real opportunity to bring a variety of services in one place," said die Rev. Rodney W Wells, execu live director and administrator of Fden Home.

More than 20 boodis were set up lo help edu cate senior citizens of the ditfereiu services available lo them. A number of professionals also spoke at the seminar, including David lalimer of the Texas Association for die Homes of die Aged He discussed the continuum of care issue and how the government fill into that role. Four stages of senior citizen continuum care include independent living at home, group or congregate housing arrangement, personal care arrangements or assisted living, and custodial or nursing home care, he said. "It's very difficult to give up," Latimer said about the independent living stage. "So, I think we should have a public policy that supports thai independence." "'too often we try to put people in boxes or move them along and we don't need to do that. We don't need to follow that policy. We need to follow a policy of what we call the least restrictive environment," he said. "The big question I think for policy makers is we try to set up these little boxes .. but it's never that neat People change gradually they get better then they may slip back." he said.
