Burns Night Robert Burns is the best loved Scottish poet, admired not only for his verse and great love-songs, but also for his character, his high spirits, 'kirkdefying', hard drinking and womanising! He came to fame as a poet when he was 27 years old, and his lifestyle of wine, women and song made him famous all over Scotland. He was the son of a farmer, born in a cottage built by his father, in Alloway in Ayr. This cottage is now a museum, dedicated to Burns. As a boy, he always loved stories of the supernatural, told to him by an old widow who sometimes helped out on his fathers' farm and when Burns reached adulthood, he turned many of these stories into poems. After the death of his father in 1784, Burns inherited the farm but by 1786 he was in terrible financial difficulties: the farm was not successful and he had made two women pregnant. Burns decided to emigrate to Jamaica so to raise the money required for this journey, he published his 'Poems in the Scottish Dialect' in 1786, which was an immediate success. He was persuaded not to leave Scotland by Dr Thomas Blacklock and in 1787 an Edinburgh edition of the poems was published. He married Jean Armour in 1788 - she had been one of his many women during his early life. A very forgiving wife, she accepted and took responsibility
Friday 25th January
for all Burns' children, legitimate and illegitimate alike. A farm was bought, Ellisland, on the banks of the River Nith near Dumfries, but unfortunately the farm did not prosper and Burns ceased farming in 1791 and became a full-time exciseman. A problem soon arose as the steady income from this employment gave him ample opportunity to continue with his hard drinking which had long been his weakness. One of the most important literary tasks he began (a labour of love as he did not receive any payment for the work) was his songs for the Scots Musical Museum. Burns contributed over 300 songs, many of his own composition, and others based on older verses. At this time he wrote, in just one day, his most famous long poem, 'Tam O'Shanter'. 'Tam O'Shanter' is the story of a man who disturbs a coven of witches in the kirk at Alloway and has to flee for his life on Meg, his old grey mare. The fastest witch, Cutty Sark (cutty sark means short petticoat) nearly catches him by the River Doon, but the running water makes her powerless and though she manages to grasp Meg's tail, Tam escapes over the bridge.
Burns will never be forgotten as his poems and songs are still as popular in Scotland as they were when first written. Burns Night is a great occasion on January 25th when many dinners dedicated to his memory are held all over the world. The ritual of the Burns Supper was started by close friends of Robert Burns a few years after his death and the format remains largely unchanged today, beginning with the chairman of the Supper inviting the assembled company to welcome in the haggis. The poem 'To a Haggis' is recited and the haggis is then toasted with a glass of whisky. The evening ends with a rousing rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne'.
Burns died aged 37 of rheumatic fever which he contracted after falling asleep at the roadside (after a particularly vigorous drinking session) in pouring rain. The last of Burns' children was actually born during his funeral service.

New Year, New Thinking
Make a list on paper To put your goals into practice, start by making a list first. Under the headings write: work; home; in-laws; immediate family; and kids. "Assess what you're achieving, or not, in each area. Then, come up with a decision that's good for you to get to your goal." For instance, if you're not happy at work, it may not be necessary to chuck in your job – you may need to approach the problem from a different angle. "Be honest with yourself about how your happiness can be improved. By acknowledging and respecting your needs, others will do the same." Make time for yourself Taking time for yourself is important for most people, yet it's often shifted to the back of the queue when children and work commitments come into the equation. One way to make time for yourself is to
prioritise what you want. A lot of people, lose sight of what they really like to do. One exercise is to ask yourself: 'What you enjoy? What would you love to do in your down time?' When you're clear about what makes you happy it's easier to allocate the time for yourself. So don't procrastinate any longer. Write down your passion and make an appointment with yourself to enjoy it.
Be honest with yourself and others Being honest about what you say and what you do is imperative for optimal mental health. For instance, if you're feeing down, instead of acknowledging that, you're going to work every day and telling people that you're fine, try sharing how you are really feeling can alleviate the burden. Depression comes from internalising things and not talking about them." If you're feeling low check in with someone close and let them know what's going on. Don't feel guilty Guilt is a wasted emotion: after all, you can't change the past, only the future. And feeling guilty about what you haven't done will only hold you back from being happy today. "Ask yourself: 'If I had the courage, what would I be doing right now?' Ask yourself 'what's stopping me?' By examining what's holding you back and confronting these fears, you'll move forward towards your happier goal. Ban the word 'should' When you think you 'should' do something, it probably means you don't want to do it at all. To find out what really makes you happy or motivated, change your vocabulary. Make a list of all the things you think you 'should' be doing, Once you've written your list, cross out the 'should' and replace it with: 'if I really wanted to, I could…'." For instance, if you say: I should take time out for myself to go swimming. Reword it: If I want to, I could take time out for myself to go swimming. This is designed to help make you feel clear (and less guilty), knowing what you want to do, rather than what you should be doing, is possible.

Secrets of a Long Successful Relationship With Valentine's Day fast approaching, it's too easy to focus on just a moment and forget about the long term investment in a relationship. Modern marriage lasts an average of 9.4 years; considerably less than forever. Too often the "I do" dissolves into "I don't, I can't, and I won't." Yet for every marriage that crumbles, another endures. Dealing with feelings Some people think the major keys for an enduring relationship are passion and romance. They are wrong. "Love is a prerequisite to launching a good relationship, but it isn't enough to keep it afloat, More important than how much two people love each other, or how happy they are before the wedding, is how well they talk, share, and work out their problems after marriage. In other words, how they deal with their feelings matters more than what they're actually feeling.

Went to Evey Canyon yesterday with my good friend ronin_tak . It was a great hike, weather was very nice and we saw tons of birds. Evey Canyon is my favorite hiking spot around here and I'm REALLY looking forward to the spring flower bloom. We also got some pretty awesome pictures in the drainage tunnel that runs beneath the mountain road.

1. Are you yearning for a flat tummy and tones arms?
2. Do you wish to fit into your favourite bikini, jeans or LBD and feel confident about it?
3. Do you hate going to the gym?
4. Do you struggle with time to exercise?
5. Do you struggle with maintaining your energy levels daily?
6. Would you like to lose weight without struggling to know what to eat?
7. Are you fed up of going from diet to diet only for the weight to creep back on?
8. Are you fed up of putting yourself last?
If you answered yes to any of the above I want you to know it's NOT your fault!
Many women struggle with the exact same problems. We are constantly pulled in so many different directions and it's so difficult to stay focused on one outcome. Added to that we are bombarded with images of skinny women who appear to look super fit and happy. So when we are unable to achieve our goals and struggle to keep on track we find ourselves veering away from our goal then beating ourselves up about it. We then find renewed motivation to 'finally' achieve our goals, lose it again and on the cycle goes on and on, never really moving further forward.
Often especially us women feel so guilty when we put ourselves first and decide to make changes in the way we look. We feel it's not right that we put ourselves before others. But the truth of the matter is that if we don't take care of ourselves we limit how much we can give to our loved ones
On top of that how much conflicting information is there in the world of health and fitness when it comes to weight loss? There are so many different people, companies and solutions claiming to have the best and quickest product that it's no wonder we are confused.
This is why it's NOT YOUR FAULT you feel the way you do about your body and yourself. You simply don't know what to do and how to make changes to create the body of your dreams.
To create the body of your dreams, I have created my 7 step formula - C.H.A.N.G.E.S. Fitness Formula© that will help you lose weight, feel confident, more energetic and love what you see when you look in the mirror!
So here it is:
Consistency in you exercise and nutrition always leads to results. This
probably one of the most important steps is ultimately achieving the body
of your dreams. We only offer long term programmes for this reason, to
ensure all clients are consistent with their exercise sessions coupled with
our tried and tested nutrition plan N.C.P
You need to be willing to take consistent action towards your goal every day. Every little thing you do, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, gets you closer or further from the achievement you deeply desire. How much does your dream really mean to you? If it means as much as you say it does, you be willing to do whatever it takes.
To achieve a lean, shapely, healthy body you need to incorporate metabolic exercises aimed at increasing your metabolism. We only work using interval training techniques which is the fastest way to fat loss because it elevates your metabolic rate so even after you finish training and at rest you are still burning calories. The sessions are 45mins only, 3 times per week making it perfect for busy people.
You are accountable to your trainer and your peers to attend your sessions and follow the plan. We have a good monitoring system in place to allow clients to be accountable for their progress. Also, the camaraderie within group training provides its own accountability because if a group member has been unable to attend session regularly or has missed sessions for whatever reason fellow members will ask for you out of concern.
To gain results you must follow a healthy nutrition plan. We provide our own nutrition E-Books -Nutrition Choices Plan (N.C.P) and Food-Choices Recipe Book which you follow and use throughout your time with us. This cuts out the guess work. We encourage to 'Eat Clean' i.e. a clean healthy diet and require you to clean out all your cupboards. That means no more processed food, sweets, cake, sugary drinks, crisps etc. We also require every client to provide us with a 7 days food diary when they start.
To gain results you must know where you are going, your destination. Every client fills out a lifestyle questionnaire before joining the programme to help them set out their goals. This is the further reinforced during nutrition coaching call. We regularly check in with clients to ensure they are on track towards their goals.
Your daily behaviours need to be aligned with what you want to achieve. Is what you do on a daily basis taking you closer or further away from your goals? You are always moving towards or away from something, you can never stand still.
Every client is provided with Nutrition E-Books – Nutrition Choices Plan & Food-Choices Recipe Book and our Lifestyle Choices E-Book that helps them to learn about the importance of sleep, nutrition, supplementation, drinking water etc. I believe in learning and education because it empowers you to take control of your life. You are provide with all the tools and all you need to do is implement them into your lifestyle with our guidance.
We provide support and coaching with in most of our programmes, during nutrition coaching calls, by email and verbally during session. The support is always there. I have found throughout my own journey that we always need a coach to help us get to our ultimate goal.
By you reading the information on this site and hopefully subscribing for our free gift you have taken a huge step in stepping out of your comfort zone and making changes. You should be very proud of yourself! 99% of people will never experience stepping outside of their comfort zone therefore never realise their full potential.
I wish you the very best of luck and success on your journey as you make your changes.
One more thing ... remember TO BRING CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE YOU MUST MAKE A CHANGE!
To find out more about the C.H.A.N.G.E.S Fitness Formula© head to the Getting Started Page, see which profile YOU fit best, contact us and we will tell you what will benefit you most.

From Connie Dunn
Hello Congregation!
I want to thank all of you who contributed to our bake sale last Sunday, plus all of you who bought these wonderful items. We brought in $217.25, which will be given to the ARC, American Refugee Committee. The ARC helps in two of the areas for which we studied: food and water.
As our earth gets more populated and polluted, clean and safe drinking water is scarce. Food supplies also become a problem. In fact, our ability to produce enough nutritious food. However, it is almost impossible to address all of the planet's woes. This class chose to address the real human issues surrounding these commodities in the form of refugees from conflicts and disasters. So when we bring in disasters, we also touch on the Climate, as well!
The Senior Youth much-loved Chocolate Auction has been cancelled Sunday, Feb. 15, and will be rescheduled sometime in March.
On the following Sunday, Feb. 22, our Gr 7-12 Crisis Earth will hold another bake sale for which we will again call upon you all to bake. We know that this has been a heavy baking season. And we appreciate everyone who has continued to support this Faith in Action project.

Sounds and looks amazing!!! But requires an adapter
Reviewed by Ilya P (Plymouth, MN) Reviewed for a 2006 Subaru Legacy — May 30, 2017 7:09 AM
This exhaust looks and sounds great! deep low tunes that are not bothersome on high speed. Really noticeable quality, great welds and quality build! For my Legacy GT, the only downside is the connection between the factory down-pipe and new exhaust. Provided bolts are too big for the holes in OEM pipe. Oem pipe also had doughnut gasket, and this one does not accept one, and provided gasket is way too big to provide good seal. So you need a GrimSpeed adapter or get an aftermarket 3in downpipe
Awesome system.

Great Product

This product sounds amazing, the material is top of the line and is a great fit. Getting all the kits and parts needed is such a life safer as well as them being labled. I would recommend professional install just because it does take two if you don't have a lift. Great sound, not too loud or annoying on the streets or highway. Only bad thing is they need to get more updates photots up.

Cosmetic Braces & Invisalign
Do you have teeth in your smile that aren't straight, but you just don't feel like getting a tin grin?
Invisalign braces are an alternative to conventional braces to correct a "bad bite" and crowded, crooked teeth. Invisalign uses a series of clear retainers, aligners, to bring teeth into alignment. This easy to wear system is taken out to eat, brush and floss, and the aligners are virtually invisible allowing you to smile with confidence. You will be amazed at how simple and esthetic "braces" can be!
Book your consultation to discover if Invisalign works for you!
Reminders for our patients:
Your new invisalign trays are able to be cleaned with cold water and a toothbrush, an electric toothbrush, Sonicare, works very well. Toothpaste is abrasive and will scratch the plastic. We also have Invisalign Cleaning Crystals available in single-use packets if they need a deeper cleaning.
Please keep your retainers in your mouth at least 22 hours a day - and when you are eating keep them in one of the two cases we have provided and away from pets who love to chew on these!

6 Natural Secret Techniques to Fight Stretch Marks
Stretch marks are chiefly found in the abdominal wall. But can occur in the thighs, breasts, upper arms and buttocks. They are not only bad-looking but embarrassing as well. They restrict your freedom of dressing. You generally tend to dress yourself so that no one is able to notice your marks. In fact, there are moments when people begin to avoid places like beaches and swimming pools. Once they cross a certain stage, it becomes very difficult to treat them.Therefore, they are better treated at the initial stages. Fortunately, there are multiple natural ways to fight stretch marks.
Stretch marks, We all know how they look like, but what actually are they?
Stretch marks are created when the skin is stretched rapidly to deal with its extension. You can have them as a result of pregnancy, breast growth, surgery or rapid weight gain. The collagen fibers that are mainly responsible for the skin elasticity are torn and develop a pink or white mark which looks almost like a scar.
BioHealthyLiving 6 Best Natural Cures for Stretch Marks:
1. Aloe vera
Aloe Vera is an age old natural healing plant. It is very valuable in case of any kind of skin condition. Beyond treating burns, its healing properties help smoothing and repairing scarred tissues. The inbuilt agents contained in Aloe Vera can also prevent stretch marks from reappearing. Here is a couple of ways to apply it:
- Rub aloe Vera gel on your stretch marks, both new and old. Apply abundantly and massage well and leave it dry on its own.
- You can mix vitamin E oil with aloe Vera and rub the mixture.
2. Castor Oil
Castor oil is widely used to treat different skin problems such as dark spots, moles, age spots, wrinkles, fine lines and pimples. It is also an effective remedy to fight stretch marks.
- Apply castor oil to stretch marks and gently massage the affected area in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Wrap the affected area with thin cotton cloth. Using a heating pad or a hot water bottle, apply some heat to the stretch marks for at least a half an hour.
- Repeat this process daily for at least one month to notice positive results.

3. Lemon Juice
The acidic property of lemon helps discoloring and reducing scars and stretch marks. Click here if you want to learn about the Top 7 Health Benefits of Lemon Water.
Methods to use lemon juice:
- Rub fresh lemon juice smoothly onto the stretch marks in circular motions. Let the lemon juice soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
- Another option is to mix identical quantities of lemon juice and cucumber juice, then apply the mixture on the affected area.
4. Potato Juice
True, they are delicious, but they have other uses besides eating. Vitamins and minerals present in potatoes help in the restoration and growth of skin cells.
Methods to use potato juice:
- Cut a potato in half and rub it onto the affected area smoothly.
- You can also make potato juice and apply a thin layer to the stretch marks. Let it dry and wash the skin with warm water.
5. Egg Whites
Eggs are rich in proteins, omega 3 fatty acids, minerals and vitamins that help to make your stretch marks fade away.
Instructions :
- Whip the whites of two eggs smoothly with a fork. Clean the stretch marks with water and then apply a thick layer of egg whites with a makeup brush.
- Allow the egg whites to dry and then rinse the affected area with cold water.
- Eventually, apply some olive oil on the skin to keep it moisturized.
- Repeat the process daily for at least two weeks and watch your stretch marks fade away.
6. Coconut Oil
Stretch marks sometimes can be itchy, but scratching them can make them heal even more slowly. Coconut Oil is one of the best ways to fight the itch, which is regarded as the most effective and the simplest home remedy to get rid of stretchmarks. Coconut oil is so good for your skin as well as your overall health thanks to its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
There are many reasons to use coconut oil for stretch marks:
- This oil has immense moisturizing properties.
- It gets absorbed deep into the skin rapidly.
- It nourishes the damaged skin and it has many antioxidants that fight free radicals.
- It has no discomforting or harmful side effects.
- It can be used externally and internally.
Apply the Coconut Oil to your stretch marks an hour before taking a shower and within two weeks they will start to fade away.

So, it's time to use one of these natural ways to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and feel confident again.

Milestones are collections of Epics, which in turn are collections of Stories. The Milestones Page is designed to provide a simple roadmap-style view of what you've accomplished already, where you are right now, and what you're planning to do next.
From the Milestones page, you can create Milestones and drag and drop Epics between the Epic Backlog on the left and any existing Milestones. You can also re-prioritize Epics within a single Milestone from this page.
You can access the Milestones Page by selecting "Milestones" in the Clubhouse sidebar menu.
The State of your Milestone can be changed by clicking on the button on the Milestone card or from the individual Milestone page.
Milestones can also be filtered by their State (To Do, In Progress, Done) as well as by Category from the top of the Milestones page.
The Individual Milestone Page
Visiting an individual Milestone's page provides quick stats about the state of the Milestone and how it is progressing. It offers a table of all Epics in the Milestone as well as the Milestone's start and end dates, Labels, number of Stories and Points. From the Milestone page you can also edit the Milestone title and description and delete the Milestone itself.
Milestone Categories
Milestone Categories allow you to group Milestones together thematically, and filter by Category on the Milestones page. Milestone Categories can be created on the individual Milestone page by clicking the "Add Categories" button.
You may choose to attribute an existing Milestone Category from the dropdown menu, or create a new Milestone Category by typing in your desired Category name and hitting the Enter key.
To remove a Category from a Milestone, click on the "x" of the Category you'd like to remove from the Milestone.
Managing Milestone Categories
Clicking the green "Manage Categories" button found in an individual Milestone's "Add Categories" dropdown will allow you to edit or remove Categories from your existing list.
To edit a Milestone Category, click on the pencil icon next to the Category name. To delete a Milestone Category, click on the trash can icon.

The items, tools and ways on this page are a first line of defense.
- Choice of OS
- Encryption strategy
- Turn camera off
- Turn microphone off
- Manage passwords
- Learn to use a firewall
- Configure sysctl
- Further hardening debian host
- Maintain integrity of system
Choice of OS
Windows is a closed box, you never know what you gonna get and it doesn't look like chocolate to me. Oh, wait …
Linux is the best choice for a secure and private OS. It is free as in "users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software" and there is no money trail linking to a product ID.
There are several linux distributions to choose from. Debian is probably the most secure option. Some of the items below are only for securing linux (hosts) (*).
Choose your encryption strategy in alignment with your threat model. All Operating Systems (linux, windows, mac) support Logical Virtual Memory (in alphabet-soup-speak named "LVM"). If you are setting up a dedicated (more) secure host for running virtual machines, full disk encryption is recommended.
Turn camera off
Tape the camera. It may even be possible to turn it off in BIOS (depending on your version).[linkview show_cat_name="0″ cat_name="Camera"]
Turn microphone off
Windows: Go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording and right-click and choose "disable" and then 'OK'. Or, in Hardware -> Manage Audio Devices -> Sound you can configure the microphone.
Linux: Mute it using alsamixer.
Mac: Launch System Preferences, click on Sound, select "Line-in" on Input tab, and close. As long as you don't actually have any audio input device connected, such as an external microphone or some other line-in device, this method is very effective.
Manage passwords
Using a password manager allows you to load passwords in your clipboard, making it hard to catch it with a keylogger (if any). And all good password managers allow you to generate passwords, making the passwords independent from your personal preferences and harder to crack. If you want to try your hand at cracking your own (current and new) passwords, try one of these.[linkview show_cat_name="0″ cat_name="Organise and encrypt passwords"]
Learn to use a firewall
One of the must have component on your computer is a firewall:
[linkview show_cat_name="0″ cat_name="Firewall for Beginners"]
In computing, a firewall is a software or hardware-based network security system that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic by analysing the data packets and determining whether they should be allowed through or not, based on applied rule set.
Configure sysctl (*)
sysctl is a tool for examining and changing kernel parameters at runtime.[linkview show_cat_name="0″ cat_name="sysctl"]
Further hardening debian host (*)
Run Tiger and further harden your host.[linkview show_cat_name="0″ cat_name="Hardening debian"]
Integrity of your system
Keep your system up to date. Defend your system from keyloggers, viruses and worms. Use intrusion-detection-systems.
Having an open wireless network can be a major security risk. Anyone close enough to your router, a neighbour or a war driver, could potentially gain access to your network. Even when disallowing wireless, it is a good idea to manage that box.

|"The Ultimate Quest: A Geek's Guide to (The Episcopal) Church"
|The Rev. Jordan Haynie Ware
|Church Publishing Incorporated
|Month and Year of Publication
|February 2017
|Description or summary
|What do Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Settlers of Catan have in common with the Episcopal Church? For self-proclaimed geek and ordained priest Jordan Haynie Ware the parallels between geek culture and the Church were obvious:
"Christians thirst for adventure, have a sense of destiny, and desire to participate in something bigger than oneself as much as any questing gamer. The geek's obsessive need to understand how something works, to read the manual, to build a complex vocabulary that explains precisely what's going on, these are traits that particularly the Episcopal tribe of Christians have in spades."
The challenge facing newcomers to either the Episcopal Church or geek culture is breaking through the barriers of unfamiliar language, ritual, and symbolism. "The Ultimate Quest: A Geek's Guide to (The Episcopal) Church" introduces the basics of Episcopal theology and practice through the lens of gaming culture.
Drawing on the language of official millennial geekdom, "Jordan brings the history of the Anglican and Episcopal Church forward, making it readily accessible and understandable to a whole new generation of seekers," says Mary Foster Parmer, director of Gathering of Leaders and creator of InviteWelcomeConnect. "Using the language of this new generation, we are invited to connect to a universe of reconciliation, redemption, and sacred adventure. There is a longing for connection in each of us, and Jordan offers the geeks among us a clever, whimsical, and adventurous way forward."
Ware's light and funny style make the impenetrable mysteries of theology, liturgy, and church history accessible for all readers whether you're a fan of Star Wars or Star Trek or neither one.
Rev. Ware, director of youth & young adult ministry at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Worth, has spent the last six years studying and interacting with youth and young adults who are either in church or seeking church

GP sentenced for indecent images of children
Armon Daniels had his computer seized by police when they executed a search warrant at his home.
Swansea will be one of the first cities in the UK to get access to new ultrafast broadband, which is more than ten times faster than average.
More than 12,500 households and businesses in Uplands, Sketty, Gowerton and Townhill will benefit from the new service, known as G.fast.
It provides download speeds of up to 330Mbps - more than 10 times faster than the UK average.
The speeds mean a two-hour HD film can be downloaded in 90 seconds, a 45-minute HD television show in 16 seconds, and a nine-hour audio book in three seconds.
People living in the pilot areas who want to try the new service should contact their internet provider to see if they qualify.
Ynyr Roberts, Openreach's programme director for Wales, said: "A huge amount of effort and substantial investment has already taken place in the development of this exciting new technology. So I'm delighted to announce that we can now start connecting people in Swansea and at the 19 other locations around the country.
"These pilot schemes are hugely important to us and to the local households and businesses, which will be able to benefit from G.fast. Whether you are somebody aiming to work more efficiently or grow your business, or a household going online for shopping, entertainment or studies, fast access to the internet has never been more important.
"We know the technology works and can be a major benefit for customers, but these pilots will now help us test and improve all the factors involved in rolling out G.fast on a national scale."
People in Swansea who want to try the new service will need to contact their broadband provider to check if they're offering it.

Gun Fired At Bournemouth House's Window
Five men have been questioned after shots were heard in Wimborne Road.
Fire crews were alerted to a fire at a terrace house in New Street, Ringwood on Sunday 12th February at 18:29pm.
Control operators immediately mobilised crews from across the New Forest and Southampton areas as well as Dorset to tackle the blaze in the roof of a terraced house in the Moortown area.
Hampshire crews from Burley, Brockenhurst, Beaulieu, Eastleigh, Ringwood, Redbridge, St Mary's and Totton as well as Ferndown and Verwood in Dorset were all called to the scene. In all more than 70 personnel attended the incident.
Firefighters using 30 breathing apparatus, three jets and four hose reels, worked to tackle the blaze which quickly spread to the roof of two further adjoining houses.
The Incident Command Unit and the Fire and Emergency Support Service vehicle were also mobilised to the scene from the Service headquarters at Eastleigh.
Officer in Charge, Group Manager Shaun Rowlatt, said:
"On arrival, the initial crews were faced with a roof fire, well alight and were informed that occupants were still in the building. The crews immediately mounted both fire-fighting and search and rescue operations. Following a through search of the buildings involved all the occupants were accounted for.
"The fire crews continued to tackle the blaze for several more hours to contain it and prevent further spread along the row of terraces. Firefighters from both counties worked very hard indeed and I am very proud of their efforts."
The whole of the roof space of the two storey mid terraced property, measuring approx 5m X 10m, where the original fire started was severely damaged. The first floor also suffered extensive water damage.
The roof space of the second property suffered 75 per cent fire damage and there was further water damage to this property on its first floor.
The roof of a third terrace house was also slightly damaged in the fire.
An investigation will now be carried out to determine the cause of the blaze.

Adventure Travel in English to Boost Your Vocabulary
I'll be honest with you: I had a completely different lesson planned for you this week. And it was a good one! (But don't worry! You'll still get that lesson next week.)
However, at the last minute I decided to change my plan for this week's Confident English lesson. Here's why:
This past week, I traveled to the Caucasus region. The trip was amazing and full of adventure. Plus, I got to meet one of my students face-to-face. It was like meeting a friend after a long time and I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet her.
Also, last year I shared a lesson with you on common vocabulary we use for talking about travel and it has been one of my most popular lessons. So, yesterday I thought, "I should do another travel story lesson!"
And that's exactly what I've done.
Today's lesson is full of common vocabulary, phrasal verbs, and idioms that we use for telling travel stories, including bad weather and even a car problem!
Take a few minutes to read the story, review the expressions, and then check out my challenge for you.
Travel in the Caucasus Region
After checking in and going through security, we had some time to kill so we wandered around the airport and spent a little time reading. I have to say, one of the best things about traveling is all the extra time you have on the flight to read. I love any excuse to get lost in a book and if you want a good recommendation for a book in English, try The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
It took two flights for us to reach our final destination, with a 3-hour layover in-between. Thankfully, a cup of coffee and some excellent people watching made the layover go quickly. It was an intersection of east meets west; Europe meets Asia. A wild mix of languages, cultural dress, hairstyles, and fashion statements.
After our final landing, we took public transport into the city, checked into the hotel and hurried to explore the city by foot. We were in a region of the world that was completely new to us: with every step the sights, sounds, and smells were unfamiliar and exciting.
After a couple days in the city visiting museums, important monuments, and enjoying the local cuisine, we headed off into the countryside. Our goal was to see as much of the country as possible in our short amount of time.
A highlight of the trip was our visit to a remote area of the country. We had to take an off-road vehicle for over an hour to reach an ancient monastery from the 6th century, which is still used today.
But, in the middle of our road trip, the car got a flat tire.
Even worse: we heard a loud clap of thunder followed immediately by lightening not so far in the distance, so we knew it would start raining soon – we were in a race against time to get the tire changed.
Luckily the car had all the necessary equipment: a jack, a wrench and a spare tire (which was thankfully in good condition). On the side of the road, we changed the tire and rushed to get back on the road just as the first rain drops started to fall.
When we finally reached the monastery, we hiked up to the top of a small mountain from where we could view a massive valley below and explore some of the caves in the monastery complex. It felt like living inside a history book. Then we watched the beginning of sunset before we started our way back down the mountain.
All in all, it was definitely a peak travel experience: a bit of adventure, a lot of beauty, and some new food discoveries all in one.

Your Weekly English Challenge Question
Now what about you? What is your peak travel experience?
Review the vocabulary you've learned in this lesson (or even check out the lesson from last year) and tell me your best travel story. Where did you go? Who were you with? How did you get there? What did you do and see?
I'd love to hear about it. Take a few minutes to try some new expressions in English. It's the best way to add new language to your active vocabulary!
I look forward to reading your story,

Is it possible to climb South-East Asia's highest peak in one day and avoid the high accommodation costs? Our featured bloggers, Jonathan and Natalia, find out...
Mount Kinabalu is the highest peak in the Malay Archipelago. It stands 4,095m tall and because it is a doable climb it is a major tourist destination. Each day over 100 climbers start at the Timpohon Gates and then rest at the overpriced shack Laban Rata Resthouse about two hours from the top. At around 2am they are woken up by their guides to climb to the summit and catch the sunrise at 4,095m, a much slower climb at night.
Mount Kinabalu was our first stop on our tour of Borneo and when I began planning the climb I couldn't believe the prices that the Laban Rata Resthouse was pulling out of its (dare I say) ass. Jonathan and I are somewhat careful with money and spending over $100 each to sleep for three hours on the floor seemed like a waste of my hard earned cash. There had to be another option.
Was there another place to sleep at the base camp? No there wasn't, Laban Rata Resthouse had a monopoly on prison-like accommodations. I completely understand that building those houses was a huge pain at 3,270m, however I also have a 'suspicion' that the Sutera Sanctuary Lodges, which owns the lodges at the base and the resthouse at 3,270m, charges a premium because the climbers don't have a choice but pay the ridiculous price. They make you stay one night at their base lodge and one night on the mountain. Rip off!
On my quest to find an alternative, I came across a sentence our guidebook that said you could do the climb in one day. That sentence was followed up by a paragraph of warning and various reasons why you shouldn't do it one day. I don't know what it said because I was too elated to find out that you could do the climb in one day and not pay the evil monopolist of Sutera Sanctuary Lodge. So how did it all go down…
The Sting
We arrived at the Mount Kinabalu administrative office in the early morning to sign up for the climb the next day and immediately we were given the run-around. "Oh, you need to go see Mr Peninsus and ask for his permission as we already reached the daily limit of four single-day hikers for tomorrow," said an admin staff lady. I was crushed, I was so worried that we wouldn't be able to do it the next day. We were pressed for time since we were heading to Sipadan for diving, which requires bookings be done months in advance. We left the admin office seeking the mythical Mr Peninsus and did not find him. With pleading eyes we returned and asked to be put on the waiting list. She gave us a look-over and gave us paperwork to fill out. "Please be here at 7am to meet your guide." What about Mr Peninsus?! "I'll talk to him," replied the admin lady with a smile. I guess we're going on a 20km hike tomorrow!
The Climb
Jonathan felt that a 8.7km hike up to the peak wouldn't be enough so he tricked me into doing the longest park hike after we filled out the paperwork. No big deal for him as he was high on two 7-Eleven slurpees he had in Kota Kinabalu the previous day. Unfortunately, the only sightings on that hike were a couple of cute birds and one leech between Jonathan's toes. We met our guide, Marius, at 7am the next day and proceeded to the Timpohon Gates in a taxi. Leaving two other day hikers in the dust, our mission now was to catch up to the other two day hikers that left about 20 minutes earlier than us. We overtook those girls in the first 2km of the climb up.
The first 4km of the climb were a breeze – it was steady and it was sweaty. Our guide said that we were keeping a good pace and that we should try to limit our stops so we could make it to the peak by noon. As soon as Marius uttered those words, I entered the "Natalia Boost Mode" or as Jon called me that day "Mountain Goat". Just 2km before the Laban Rata base camp it got difficult. My vision became weird, my legs were slowing down and I couldn't wait for a quick break and some food. Our breakfast consisted of toast and tea. We couldn't get a packed lunch as the kitchen didn't open until 7am.
We reached Laban Rata just before 10am and devoured a small bag of dried mangoes and cookies. Ten minutes was all we could afford before we pushed on. Shortly after Laban Rata the vegetation became sparser and then completely disappeared to reveal the famous smooth granite dome. There were no ridges and absolutely no grip. The clouds began to roll in and we knew we had to step on it.
As we came over a bend we saw a big group of slow-pokes making their way to the top. Who are these people? It turned out to be the Sultan and his posse. They were doing the climb in THREE days. We passed the slow-pokes and we made it to the summit at... wait for it... 11:35am!! Amazing! We climbed Mount Kinabalu in just over four hours. Marius told us he recently climbed with a couple who took seven hours just to reach the base camp. Whoa…
I was so impressed and so incredibly satisfied with what we've done and how we pulled it off. Even Mr Peninsus couldn't stop us.
The Descent
We revelled in our victory for about 20 minutes until the clouds rolled in and poured rain. The smooth rocky surface made the descent cumbersome. I slipped at least three times in the first 30 minutes of the descent. The two girls that we passed earlier only made it to Laban Rata and unfortunately they had to head down without reaching the top. The weather closed in fast and before we had a chance to blink it began pouring. My clothes were completely soaked and I really began to feel the climb in my knees. Marius pointed out giant pitcher plants, which besides a three-foot long worm and a few brown frogs on the side of the trail, was the only exciting flora and fauna that we saw that day. Because we got to the base at around 4pm all the taxis had already left and unfortunately we had to hoof it an extra 25 minutes to our hotel room.
The Aftermath
The climb and descent of Mount Kinabalu took us eight hours. It was exhilarating and I have absolutely no regrets in doing it in one day. I do recommend to complete the climb in one day but please do it only if you are ready to go on a four hour Stairmaster. You have to be fit and have decent endurance. Jonathan and I had just finished cycling 700km across Korea and had Korean mountains to train on so I feel we were reasonably prepared for the climb.
Also, be ready for some pain. My body was in pain for about a week afterwards. Also, I'm not entirely convinced that the water that is offered on the mountains is safe to drink (even though the guide said so) as we got food poisoning the next night. Word of advice, don't drink the mountain water, bring more snacks than dried mangoes and be nice to the administrative staff.

By way of balance to this rather uninformed article, I've just come down from Kinabalu the two day way. I took full benefit from the "evil monopolist"'s facilities. Three hours on the floor in the lodge? I had six hours sleep in a very comfortable, very clean bed. I had three great meals. I had nice clean well-marked trails - who do you think takes away the litter from your melon snacks? And I saw dawn and descended safely before the rains. And doing it in ine day is really only for the ultrafit. Doing it on two is only for the fit. It's irresponsible to suggest that the two day version is a rip off. For most people it's the only way to do it safely. The lodge organisation does an excellent job of ensuring the safety of the Trekkers, protecting the environment, and the money you spend partly goes to the local community in the shape of the hardworking porters.
