I believe we are all saying that a hardcoded setting is the absolute worst choice. Look for a better choice (a user-config option is best, then an envvar specific to the platform, and at worst case a known location.) Bill

Love it or hate it, the big winged grille on the front of the 2012 Lincoln MKZ is half the luxury brand's story. As it finally gets its bearings as Ford's only upscale nameplate, Lincoln is busy taking its styling in a new direction--one that's not quite as thin, or as brash, as the MKZ's current grille.
Lincoln adopted wings a few years ago, as it began to untangle itself from Ford's former European brand collection. And on the MKZ, the treatment works better than on some of its brandmates, like the massive MKT crossover. From the outside, though, the differences between the MKZ and Ford Fusion pretty much end there, save for some distinctive taillamps. The glass and doors don't change, which means the MKZ shares the Fusion's profile, which itself looks far more mainstream--even Japanese mainstream--than it should, though on the balance it's still an attractive sedan. We've seen the next MKZ in concept form, and it's a dramatic departure. And the wings are clipped, brought down to earth in a much more palatable form.
The MKZ's interior puts much more distance between itself and the Fusion. A wide band of wood or aluminum trim divides stretches of dark, tightly grained plastic, and frames a large LCD screen that outputs information from the entertainment and navigation systems. Thin ribbons of metallic trim circle big panels of dash handsomely, and that's a detail that's authentically drawn from the Lincoln history book. The Bridge of Weir leather seats and real wood trim (unless you choose a metallic finish instead) are lustrous to the touch, if the plastics facing the console are not.

Stephen Norton (also known as Mr. X) is the main antagonist of Agatha Christie's novel Curtain: Poriot's Last Case and one of the foremost antagonists of the whole novels about Hercule Poirot. He disguised himself as an innocent man, but he is responsible for numerous murders Poriot investigates.
Aidan McArdle portrays Norton in the TV episode adaption of Curtain, which is also the whole TV series' final episode. Therefore, Norton is the final villain of Poirot series, in both books and TV series.
Plot of Curtain
A person is unsuspected of involvement in five previous murders, in all of which there was a clear suspect. Four of these suspects have since died (one of them hanged); in the case of Freda Clay, who gave her aunt an overdose of morphine, there was too little evidence to prosecute. Poirot calls the recently widowed Hastings to join him in solving this case. Poirot, using a wheelchair due to arthritis, and attended by his new valet Curtiss, will not share the name, using X instead. X is among the guests at Styles Court with them. The old house is a guest hotel under new owners, Colonel and Mrs Luttrell. The guests know each other, with this gathering initiated when Sir William Boyd-Carrington invites the Franklins to join him for a summer holiday stay. The five prior murders took place in the area, among people known to this group.
Elizabeth Cole tells Hastings that she is a sister of Margaret Litchfield, who had confessed to the murder of their father in one of the five cases. Margaret had died in Broadmoor Asylum and Elizabeth is stigmatised by the trauma. Three incidents occur in the next few days, showing the imprint of X. First, Hastings and others overhear an argument between the Luttrells. Shortly afterwards, Mr Lutrell wounds his wife with a rook rifle, saying he mistook her for a rabbit. Mrs Luttrell recovers, and the incident has a good effect on their marriage. Next, Hastings is concerned that his daughter Judith spends time with Major Allerton, a married man. While Hastings and Elizabeth are out with birdwatcher Stephen Norton, Norton sees something that disturbs him through his binoculars. Hastings assumes it has to do with Allerton. When his attempts to persuade Judith to give Allerton up merely antagonise her, the worried father plans Allerton's murder. He falls asleep while waiting to poison Allerton, relieved he took no action when he awakes the next day. Last, Barbara Franklin, wife of Judith's employer Dr Franklin, dies the following evening. She was poisoned with physostigmine sulphate, an extract from the Calabar bean that her husband researches. Poirot's testimony at the inquest, that Mrs Franklin had been upset and that he saw her emerge from Dr Franklin's laboratory with a small bottle, persuades the jury to return a verdict of suicide.
Norton is still concerned over what he saw days earlier when out with Hastings and Cole. Hastings advises Norton to confide in Poirot. They meet in Poirot's room. That night, Hastings is awakened by a noise and sees Norton entering his bedroom. The next morning, Norton is found dead in his locked room with a bullet-hole in the centre of his forehead, the key in his dressing-gown pocket and a pistol nearby.
When Hastings tells Poirot that he saw Norton return to his room the night before, Poirot says it is flimsy evidence, not having seen the face: the dressing-gown, the hair, the limp, can all be imitated. Yet, there is no man in the house who could impersonate Norton, who was not tall. Poirot dies of a heart attack within hours. He leaves Hastings three clues: a copy of Othello, a copy of John Ferguson (a 1915 play by St. John Greer Ervine), and a note to speak to his long time valet, George. After Poirot is buried at Styles, Hastings learns that Judith has all along been in love with Dr Franklin. She will marry him, and leave to do research in Africa. When Hastings speaks to George, he learns that Poirot wore a wig, and that Poirot's reasons for employing Curtiss were vague.
Four months after Poirot's death, Hastings receives a manuscript in which Poirot explains all. X was Norton, a man who had perfected the technique of which Iago in Othello (and a character in Ervine's play) is master: applying just such psychological pressure as is needed to provoke someone to commit murder, without his victim realising what is happening. Norton had demonstrated this ability, with Colonel Luttrell, with Hastings, and Mrs Franklin. Poirot intervened with sleeping pills in Hastings' hot chocolate that night, to avert a disastrous rash action. Ironically, Hastings had intervened in Mrs. Franklin's plan to poison her husband, by turning a revolving bookcase table while seeking a book to solve a crossword clue (Othello again), thus swapping the cups of coffee, so Mrs Franklin poisoned herself. Poirot could not prove this. He sensed that Norton, who had been deliberately vague about whom he had seen through the binoculars, would hint that he had seen Franklin and Judith, to implicate them in the murder of Mrs Franklin, not inadvertent suicide as it was. This explains Poirot's testimony at her inquest, to ensure the police would stop their investigation.
Given his very weak heart, Poirot conceives that he must end the string of murders by killing Norton. At their meeting, he told Norton what he suspected and his plan to execute him. He gave Norton hot chocolate. Norton, arrogant and self-assured, insisted on swapping cups. Poirot had drugged both cups, knowing that he had a higher tolerance for a dose that would put Norton to sleep. Poirot moved the sleeping Norton back to his room using the wheelchair. Poirot could walk, one reason he needed a new valet for this last case. Then he disguised himself as Norton by removing his wig and false moustache, ruffling up his grey hair, then donning Norton's dressing-gown and walking with a limp. Poirot was the right height. Having Hastings establish that Norton was alive after he left Poirot's room, Poirot shot Norton. He locked the room with a duplicate key. Poirot then wrote his story. He ceased taking his amyl nitrite heart medicine. He cannot say it was right to commit murder, but on balance he was sure he prevented yet more instigated by Norton. His last wish for Hastings was typical for Poirot, the matchmaker: he suggests that Hastings should pursue Elizabeth Cole.
- Norton is considered one of, if not the, darkest antagonists of Hercule Poirot stories alongside Franklin Clarke.
- Like Grace Springer, Mrs. Clapperton, Henry Reedburn, Harrington Pace, Sir Reuben Astwell, Paul Renauld, Simeon Lee, Lady Boynton, Leslie Ferrier, Cassetti, Mary Gerard, Lord Edgware, Madame Giselle and Paul Déroulard, Norton is presented as a murder victim, but their depraved nature and/or former crimes soon come to light in some parts of the stories.
- Unlike the others above, Norton's twisted nature revealed before his death, not after. What is more, the man who killed Norton is none other than Poirot himself.

Israel Ponders Offer to Tear Down West Bank Wall in Return for Pink Floyd Reunion Concert
AIDA REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (PNN): Roger Waters, co-founder of the legendary band Pink Floyd, visited the West Bank and told the Associated Press that he would "give a concert in a flash if Israel's West Bank wall is torn down."
Not to be out-matched as a deal maker, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to have counter-offered Waters, dispatching the following email to the bassist: "We'll consider it if you promise that you'll be performing with the remaining living members of the band and do the full, album-length versions of both Shine On and Echoes."
Israel says it built the wall as a defense against Palestinian militants, and Israel's final decision on whether or not to tear down the West Bank wall would obviously hinge on how many Palestinians are Pink Floyd fans and how long those who are perpetrating violence are distracted by the music.
There is precedent for such an offer, though few are aware of it. Waters performed The Wall live in Berlin in 1990, mere months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, heroically fulfilling U.S. President Ronald Reagan's 1987 proclamation, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall and Roger Waters and an all-star cast including Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams and Van Morrison will perform right here." Gorbachev was a big Pink Floyd fan and the wall quickly came down, but Reagan Administration officials had edited Reagan's quote and released to the media the first five words only, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," which allowed Reagan to take full credit for what is in fact Roger Waters' role in the fall of the Berlin Wall.
As for the West Bank wall, Waters shrugged off any potential after-effects of a barrier between longtime enemies being removed just for a two-hour concert. "I live a long way from here," concluded the legendary rocker.
The surviving members of Pink Floyd, guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour, and drummer Nick Mason, could not be reached for comment as they were in Mogadishu working a deal to convince Somali pirates to stop hijacking ships in return for autographed copies of Dark Side of the Moon and an LSD blotter with Syd Barrett's fingerprint on it.

For a simple, alphabetic listing of the Dal races, see the category page.
Varieties of ElvenkindEdit
- Koada'Dal, or High Elf (Koada;High or Chosen, Dal;Elf), are the aristocratic elite of the Elven races. Producing artists, philosophers, mages and priests in abundance, they are just as well known for their Rangers and Paladins. Much longer lived than any of their cousins, this gives the High Elf an extended perspective by which to observe the world. Originally from Felwithe in the Greater Faydark, most of the Koada'Dal fled during The Rending and now call the city of Qeynos home.
- Renda'Dal, or Pure Elf (Renda;Pure, Dal;Elf). As if the Koada'Dal were not snooty enough for you, the citizens of New Tunaria, formerly known as Felwithe, have taken to calling themselves the Renda'Dal. Their new exclusionist philosophy is one of disdain if not outright hatred for all the other races of Norrath, but they reserve special dislike for those that have polluted the pure elvish bloodlines or demeaned their heritage by living among the lesser races. A bigot by any other name would still smell as bad... See also:A History of the Tunarians
- Feir'Dal , or Wood Elf (Feir;Wood or Forest, Dal;Elf), are a younger race, more at home in trees than cities, they are the shortest lived of the Dal. Perhaps because of this, they tolerate Humans better, and are known for their ferocious passions. Their ancestral home is the city of Kelethin in the Greater Faydark forest, now more home to the Fae than the Feir'Dal.
- Teir'Dal, or Dark Elf (Teir;Abyss, Dal;Elf), were Koada'Dal modified by Innoruuk and embrace the rawest and darkest nature of Hate. Their ancient home of Neriak, deep within Nektulos Forest, was destroyed in The Rending. All that is left of Neriak is a portion of the city now known as Fallen Gate.
- Sand Elf, or Desert Elf, are the last residents of the legendary first city of the Dal, Takish'Hiz, now known as The Living Tombs and The Silent City. Far below the surface of the Desert of Ro they grew to a great command of the material which surrounded them.
- Sul'Dal, (Sul;reference to Anashti Sul, Dal;Elf), are the a sect of Elddar elves that turned from Tunare to worship Anashti Sul. Aya'Dal and Rin'Dal may be social classes of Sul'Dal.
- Ayr'Dal, or Half Elf (Ayr;Outcast, Mongrel or Misfit, Dal;Elf), are mongrels with some elvish blood in them. The other half? well, mostly human but occasionally something... else. Very short lived compared to any of their ancestors on the Dal side, they do live somewhat longer than humans.
- Myr'Dal, or Underground Elf (Myr;Cave or Underground, Dal;Elf), also known as Drelocks, are horribly twisted residents of the Mistmoore Catacombs. Possibly cannibalistic, definitely carnivorous.
- Frostfell Elves are assumed to be Dal, but no one is really sure where these merry gift givers come from. They appear only during the month of Deepice for the Frostfell festivities, bearing gifts and good cheer to all of Norrath.
- Kerig'Dal, or Elves of Endless War ('Dal;Elf). According to Kelraen, a Vallonite, Kerig'Dal were originally Teir'Dal that were "volunteered" into slavery by Rallos Zek for use in the first Rallosian War. Later they were saved by the Zek twins and split into Vallonites, Tallonites and Sullonites.
See Elvish dictionary for an ongoing attempt to build a rough listing of Elvish words used in the Lore of Norrath.

Why a Neutral Background Can Work For You

Mary Ann, my living room sofa is neutral, my bedding and a large upholstered ottoman in the study as well. I love to work around these with color!! Using corals and blues works wonderfully!!ReplyDelete

Galley Opening!!
I like neutrals and then adding a pop of color with pillows and art. I love the "after" photo.ReplyDelete
That Roman shade is divine! And, yes, can't get enough of neutrals. Have a great 4th!!ReplyDelete
Hi Mary Ann!ReplyDelete
Can you share what white paint you used on the walls in your Newport living room? My living room faces North and I have BM Dove White in there and it's just not bright enough. I have white crown molding so I want some contrast but I really love how WHITE your room is!! TY MarcyReplies
Have you considered mixing up your WHITES...what I call Shades of White? This is what I did with a recent, soon to be posted bedroom makeover [mine] . Think about it. I began with wanting a ALL WHITE room then slowly turned into several shades of white. Calm, Serene. You can still throw in a color if it just cries for color.Delete
I have a LOT of beige linen from RH in the room, 2 wing chairs and a roll arm sofa... and with it facing north it's dingy with the BM dove white.. I need a better shade of white :)Delete

Beautiful photos as always Mary Ann. Thanks for sharing your Instagram account. I just started following you :) Have a great day!!ReplyDelete
I totally agree. Love neutrals as a base. It opens up your spaces for whatever "whim" might hit you!ReplyDelete
I like neutrals like black, red and leopard! I know I am a sheep in cattle country. I think that picture of Chief and his buds looks like something straight out of Disney. So adorable: the dogs of San Francisco. Am so glad he's up to his chiefly ways.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Home Before Dark. Me too!!Delete
That roman shade is wonderful, I just did a blog post on what I am thinking of using in my new home for window coverings. I loved the last shot with all of the dogs looking up at you, priceless, and yes they are in neutrals and Champ is in my neutral of black and white, he would look great in my home!!ReplyDelete
To echo "home before dark," yes, Chief and friends do look like they belong in a Disney movie.ReplyDelete
And speaking of the color of dogs and neutral decorating, I'm reminded of a book that I once read about how to simplify housework: The author suggests that the color of your rugs and carpeting should match the color of the soil where you live. And the color of your pets should match the color of your rugs and carpeting. Assuming that your soil is a neutral color, then your rugs, carpeting and pets also would be in the same neutral color.
(The idea, of course, is that dirt and pet hair will be less visible on your rugs and carpeting if they are all the same color.)
On a not-too-related topic: love love love your neutral dining room with all the blue accents. Stunning!Replies
I like this idea Kris! I have a client with a black lab. We are thinking of an indigo colored area rug.Delete
Love neutrals Mary Ann and that scalloped valence at the top is so pretty. My couch is a light linen and I've added blue velour pillows and one with a RL cheetah print. I added a pink orchid throw for a pop of summer color;) It's fun to have so many options!ReplyDelete
Jennifer's living room is so elegant! Nice to see Chief back in action . . . looks like he has a nice group of City friends.ReplyDelete
Great minds! I'm working on a post about neutrals as we speak! oxoxReplyDelete
You don't have to convince me:) Glad Chief is back to normal....whew what a scare!ReplyDelete
Lovely. I normally tend to work with a neutral background.ReplyDelete
I Love neutrals yet for some reason i always end up with color in my own house! Well at least my kithcne will be neutral... I hope! xo KReplyDelete
I love a neutral background..its easy to add color if you want a change!ReplyDelete
When it comes to home decor I prefer natural colours too, they're relaxing.ReplyDelete
Who let the dogs out! :D :D Just kidding, lovely pictures! Like the colours of the walls.ReplyDelete
I guess better late than never! I am having big problems with my computer and the internet connection on my iPad has been horrible and it's almost impossible to leave comments on your blogs! So, here's hoping this works.ReplyDelete
Neutrals are the best and exactly what I want to do in my entire upstairs. I love all the little changes you do to you home to make it just perfect for the season we're in! Love seeing Chief looking so bright eyed and healthy having fun with his buddies!
xoxo Gail

The adage "Content is king" may have become more of a cliché, but it doesn't mean it isn't true anymore. With more competition in today's era of e-commerce and online transactions, websites have scrambled for that one factor that sets them apart from the others. Some rely on user-friendly design, others invest huge sums to rank high in search engines, but at the end of the day, all efforts may all go to waste if the content of a website is useless. Then, another mistake arises: If one website sees the competition present top quality content, they replicate it exactly in the hopes that what worked for the other camp with also work for them.

Comments about Purple Praire Botanicals SunStuff spf 30 Lotion:
I found this brand when I was researching sunscreens that wouldn't add chemicals to me and my kids' bodies. Two different websites listed it as being effective in sun protection without adding any chemical harm. So, I tried it. The company has an easy-to-use website and quick delivery, and the products are VERY reasonable in price.
We've been using it (and their Sun Stick) for a couple of weeks now, and it definitely has kept away the sunburn. It doesn't feel greasy. So far, I'm impressed.

As the 1600E model of the Ford Cortina was the first of the marque to be considered a classic, it is really no surprise that restored examples are appearing more often on the market. This wonderfully restored example looks super clean in white with the thin pinstripe and bright Rubery Owen-style (Rostyle) wheels.
Unfortunately the lighting conditions in which these photographs were made wasn't optimal however the lines of the Mark 2 are unmistakeable. Although the sheet metal was fresh and attractive underneath there was little change from the Mark 1. The wheelbase at 98 inches (249 cm) and overall length at 168 inches (427 cm) was the same as the Mark 1 but the increased width of 2.4 inches (6 cm) validated the slogan that "New Cortina is More Cortina".
This particular Mark 2 is a 1968 which was the 2nd year of the very popular 1600E and is one of nearly 56,000 produced. Gone were the iconic round taillights in favor of smart looking, simple rectangular units that extended around onto the rear wing. All UK-destined Cortina 1600Es were 4-door units though nearly 3,000 2-door saloons were made for export. Suspension was GT-based but featured a lowered ride height thanks to springs picked from the Lotus parts bin.
The engine is the new Kent Crossflow of 1599 cc giving 88 hp which was quite an upgrade from the base Cortina mill of 54 hp. The Crossflow head featured a flat deck since the combustion chambers were in the top of the pistons. This arrangement was going out of style at the time due to less effective chamber flame travel so Ford's decision to go this route was most likely a cost-saving measure.
Certainly the new owner will appreciate the stainless steel header that has been fitted to the 1.6 litre Kent. Other than that all looks well in the engine compartment with the radiator hose receiving a nice coat of Armor All or the equivalent. Non-existent fuse box indicates this is a series 1 example. Your humble author finds it hard to believe that vehicles at this time were not equipped with fused circuits.
The interior is what really made the 1600E shine. That wood dash evokes much more expensive vehicles and although the 1600E was more costly it didn't come close to a contemporary Jaguar or Aston Martins. This interior coupled with lowered GT suspension is why this model was such a success and made Ford a lot of money.
The interior looks to be perfect so clearly this Cortina was restored to a high standard. Dash fascia and console appear correct for the Series 1 timeframe and the steering wheel and seats look as new. The presence of a clock in the console indicates that this is the later Series 1 having been manufactured in or after August of 1967 but before October of 1968. Overall a great restoration of a fine classic Cortina. Find it for sale in Northamptonshire for £24,995 here at Chariots Specialist Cars.

Bob Viau: Owner and Artist of StudioVO in Gloucester Mass will create beautiful, unique, site specific ORIGINAL Art for your HOME/OFFICE/BUSINESS, any location. It all starts with a concept and a sketch pad. For the work listed in this ad, the client wanted her 10 grandchildren playing on the beach behind her home. Bob photographed the Dunes and the Horizon and took notes on each child's age, height and individual characteristics. He then began to go to work on the project. He illustrated in pen and ink each child individually, illustrated the dunes and horizon and then scanned all the original art work into the computer and digitally pieced it altogether. He then had the completed work printed onto a wipeable vinyl wallcovering. We laid it up in her kitchen. It was one full piece (no seams) 15 ft. in length on the wall under her cabinets. The piece was approx. 20" high under the cabinets and 3.5 ft. high behind the stove. The piece extended around the corner to the sink. On the opposite side of the sink was a smaller wall for a single piece. It is spectacular and one of a kind!

The US Department of Defense has assigned Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul and Upgrade (MRO&U) capabilities for F-35 Lightning II parts to facilities in the UK, the Netherlands and Australia, as announced on Monday 7 November. The contracts involved are potentially worth billions of USD.
As part of the F-35 global sustainment strategy, nations in the F-35 program were asked to work with industrial partners to provide the repair facilities. The resulting assignments are based on data compiled and analyzed by the F-35 Joint Program Office. They come into effect in 2021 and will be reviewed after five years. The assignments make sure F-35 operations and maintenance can be supported anywhere around the world, according to the US.
A very exclusive report on F-35 production in Cameri, Italy, follows soon here at Airheadsfly.com.
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II has a total of 774 repairable components, broken into 18 categories such as avionics, life support, egress, canopy system and pumps. The current assignment is for 65 of these 774 parts, with assignment of the remaining parts to follow over the next two to three years. Eventually, the program intends to have regional repair capability in Europe and the Pacific for all 774 components.
The Department of Defense assigned 48 components to the United Kingdom, 14 to the Netherlands, and 3 to Australia. From 2021 to 2025 these repair capabilities in the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands will serve all F-35s around the world.
The current assigments are for repairable parts, and not complete airframes. In 2014 the US assigned F-35 MRO&U capability for airframes and engines for the European and Pacific Regions. In Europea, F-35 initial airframe MRO&U capability will be provided by Italy at their Final Assembly and Checkout facility in Cameri by 2018.
Also in Europe, engine heavy maintenance will initially be provided by Turkey in 2018, with Norway and the Netherlands providing additional capability approximately three years after Turkey's initial capability.
In Asia, Japan and Australia were choosen for the F-35 airframe MRO&U capability. For heavy engine maintenance, the initial capability will be provided by Australia, with Japan providing additional capability approximately three to five years later.

Double standards amirite?

Burn... hahaha... 😂😂00|00|0
Thanks for MHO.. 😊😊

It's a double standard for sure. Problem is we can't control height without surgery and weight, aside from all the medical conditions that hinder it of course, can be controlled.
In the end it's all superficial bullshit.00|00|0

South West MEP On Holidays After Brexit
Green MEP advises holidays makers of their rights post-brexit
The funeral of Eileen Swannack, who died during the terror attack in Tunisia, has taken place in Biddestone today.
On the same day, her family have released a statement:
"Eileen Swannack grew up in Bristol and was one of five siblings. She met her husband Eddie and in the mid 1960's the couple moved to the picturesque village of Biddestone, where they remained throughout the rest of their lives.
"She worked in the stores at Westinghouse in Chippenham and later at the local White Horse pub. Eileen was sadly widowed in 2005, and she remained in Biddestone, supported by her family and friends.
"Eileen was always full of energy. She exuded youthfulness, had a lust for life, and a real sense of fun and mischief.
"She was Mum to Keith and Des, Grandmother to Lorren and Lucie and Great Grandmother to Ruby and Sapphire. She played an important role in the lives of all who knew her, including her step grandchildren and friends. She had a heart of gold and was always first to offer help to others.
"Eileen enjoyed socialising, and frequently enjoyed nights out listening to local bands. Her favourite was a local guitarist and vocalist called Brad Stevens, and Eileen and her friends became known locally as the Bradettes!
"John Welch had become her close companion around eight years ago and the couple enjoyed holidaying together. They had visited Sousse, in Tunisia for the preceding four years, loving the resort and sunshine. Eileen adored the fair weather at home as well, and took every opportunity to spend time out in the garden, which she loved, carefully tending to her precious fish pond.
"We, the Swannack family, would like to thank family and friends for the kind thoughts and support they have received - the flowers and cards have been a great solace to us and the homemade cakes have also been very welcome. The assistance we have received in various forms has been essential in helping us to get through this incredibly difficult time.
"We would also like to express our thanks to the team at RAF Brize Norton, the Counter Terrorism Unit, Thomson Holidays, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Wiltshire Police and the Red Cross all whom have bent over backwards to make the difficult process as trouble free as possible. We offer our particular thanks to the professional way that Eileen was repatriated back into the UK with compassion, professionalism, dignity and care. This has been of utmost comfort to us.
Our thoughts are with all of the friends and families of those who had their lives tragically taken from them in Tunisia as we all share this terrible grief and loss. "

I'm honored, absolutely honored! It's official-Love Lost will be longer than my past series, The Quest for Mary. As some of you may know, TQFM ended at the 27th part...such a shame, but all great series need to end sometime...but this one won't end any time soon, fortunately. I think. So, welcome to the 27th part of Love Lost...thanks for helpin' me get this far :)
"No, Harry, nurses do not treat emos." Lisa groaned in a tone of distinct regret while Angela stuck her tongue out at the back of Harry's head. "Let's get out of here. My apartment isn't all that far away, and I'm pretty sure we can jaywalk."
Harry followed Lisa out the gaping hole in the wall. Angela growled out a few insults before she continued after them.
As Lisa moved ahead, her beautiful red hair flowing in the wind, she looked back to Harry and gave a light smile. "You told me you had a daughter. Cheryl, right? What's she like?"
"Oh...um..." Harry thought for a moment. "She's generally happy, sweet, just an altogether happy-go-lucky kiddo." At this, Angela scoffed "Lucky..." and Harry tried his best to ignore it. Lisa smiled and nodded, silently asking Harry go on. "She likes bugs." At this, Harry groaned and wished he didn't admit that.
"Ew, dirty creepy bugs?" Lisa rejected disgustedly, trying to shake off the thought of that. What kind of creepy little girl would like bugs? She'd almost completely lost interest in Harry's daughter already.
"No, not those kind. Butterflies, beautiful bugs." Harry quickly stood up for his past logic.
At this, Lisa scoffed, "And I bet they're dead, right?"
"Ugh...yes..." Harry sighed while Lisa gave him an Aha! type of grin.
Vergil stormed down the hallway, angrily lingering after Dante and Jean and still furious that his brother's beast of a girlfriend had slapped him. His blue eyes turned to a flaming red and he set his focus on Jean. He was barely able to resist the urge to attack her, but he knew if he did Dante would probably have his brother dead before he could say "Jackpot." So Vergil just swallowed his rage and accepted the fact that he got owned by a girl.
"And now we have made it back to the main corridor, ladies, gentlemen, and Vergil." Dante lightly taunted as he looked around. "Although we have traveled upstairs, we still have many more rooms to explore down here."
Vergil leaned his ear toward the dining room entrance. He heard the sound of a piano. "Dante, there's music coming from there. I think we should go to the dining room."
"Thanks to Vergil, we will now be going to the dining room LAST." Dante chuckled and grabbed Jean's wrist, dragging her in the opposite direction of his weirdo brother while softly kissing her on the lips.
This little piano game had gone on for a while now, and Nero was easily able to copy Mandy's tunes note for note. Mandy heard scraping metal coming from outside one of the windows, but she was too caught up in Nero's attention to care.
"You make a worthy opponent, Nero." Mandy leered while her hands prepared for their next melody and Nero beat his own record for getting this far. "But can you handle THIS?!" Like spider's legs, Mandy's fingers repeatedly danced on chord by chord, note by note. She wasn't stopping. The music boomed out from the instrument as Mandy continued slamming out her rocking melody.
Nero's eyes flashed to her fingers. "Hey, come on, that's too much!" His hands came up over the piano and he started playing as well, his own tune mixing in very well with Mandy's. The two played in unison for a while. Both tried to upstage one another's song with their own, but then they realized they were rocking out just fine without needing to compete.
The shrieking sound of grinding metal was heard again. Mandy cringed, knowing Bob had to be nearby, but that lousy assassin wasn't going to ruin her moment with the boy of her dreams. She kept right on jamming down on the piano.
Bob's head leaned down through the window, getting a good view of her two targets. "How curious...heheh..."
"Ignore it...shrug it off..." Mandy whispered as her fingers continued dancing on the keys, Nero's fingers roaming around the black and white bars as well.
Suddenly, Mandy felt her hand touch Nero's. She quickly jerked it back and felt her face turn that scarlet tone again. "I-I'm sorry, Nero, I can't stay here, I-" That's when she was cut off by the feeling of Nero's lips touching her own. She certainly didn't see that coming, but once she knew what was happening her hands fled the piano and wrapped around his neck. It was absolute serenity.
And that's when the gunshot was heard.
"GAH!" Nero let out a cry of agony and his head yanked away from Mandy's. He felt a burning sensation soaring through his throat and a sharp pain in the back of his neck. "I....don't feel so good..." He gripped the back of his neck and yanked out what looked like a tranquilizer dart. He looked like he was about to say something, and almost did at first, but then he fell out of his chair and started writhing around on the floor.
Suddenly, the nearest window shattered and Bob flew in, grinning with ecstasy. "My my, apparently my little concoction does work on your kind after all." She circled around Nero, who was groaning with pain.
"W-what did you do to me..." Nero's voice was filled with half hatred and half worry. He tried to remove the Blue Rose from it's holster, but his limbs were numb and somehow his arms wouldn't budge. "I...I can't move..."
"You just have some lovely Aurora flowing through your veins, enough to keep you at bay for a good 5 minutes. Doesn't seem like much, but it's plenty of time for me to kill this little rat here." Bob sneered and pointed at Mandy.
Dante was busy showing off the "detours" to Jean, which in all actuality were his massive biceps, when he heard the sound of a gunshot sounding in the opposite direction. "Well, well, well." Dante began as he rolled his coat sleeves back down and Jean snuggled up to one of his arms, "Looks like someone wants to rock."
"Indeed." Vergil yanked out the Yamato and looked to his brother. "And you are the life of the party, aren't you, brother?"
"We'll see." Dante pulled out his two glistening guns, Ebony and Ivory, strutting out of the hotel room with Jean still trying to look at the detours.
"Alright, this is the place," Lisa introduced Harry to her little home. "Nightingale Apartments." She pointed at the outside of the building, where apparently the main attraction was bird poop and graffiti.
"Oooh! Peppermint gum!" Angela tried reaching for some of the white streaks of bird poop while Harry dragged her away before she could get a taste.
"Seriously, are you SURE nurses don't treat emos?" Harry joked to Lisa while his suicidal friend tried reaching for more of the disgusting streams of "peppermint".
Awww, is part 27 over already? Well, it's not the end of the series at all. Shall there be a part 28?

I attaended the dietetic Clinic yesterday afternoon and I was seen by a dietician. It was the best consultation that I've ever had.

Big thank you. QA

It would appear the push for a legal nude beach on the Gold Coast is active again – check out the article on the Gold Coast Times "Nudists call for Coast beach sites".
Dr Les Rootsey is quoted in the article, which is short but says what it needs to – and pleasantly avoids any social stereotyping or poor puns that we've seen in Victorian media in the past!
More interesting though is the reader poll, and the reader comments. The poll (at the time of writing this) had 70% of readers in favour of the idea. But a couple of the comments readers have made a quite fascinating!!
Show your support and vote in the poll, and we'll keep a watch on developments!
Update: Another article from a couple of days ago, pointing out that Queensland tourist dollars are heading down the coast to Byron Bay, highlights that nude beaches are actually tourist money spinners – a fact well supported in the US (Gunnison Beach NJ is one of the largest around), and Europe (Cape D'Agde in France is an entire nudist town!).

"An elongated experience of EAD"
About: Colchester General Hospital Colchester General Hospital Colchester CO4 5JL
Posted by Anne Redgwell
I went to the ED as recommended by the ambulance service, having been suffering chest pains. Treatment in the ED was very good, a short wait and then a very full triage and transfer to a cubicle where I saw a doctor who took a history and some blood. I was then taken to x-ray and returned to a cubicle where I was informed that the blood tests needed repeating 6 hours after the onset of pain and so would be there most of the night. We agreed that as the tests would be done around 1am and once the results were back about 45 minutes later, I could go home. My husband was with me and we decided that it would be better to wait for the tests to be done and go home together rather than him coming back in the morning. I then saw another nurse and another doctor and was told I was being moved as it was getting busy. I went to EAD and there the problems started. I was settled in well and had obs done and was told the doctor would be in. This was sometime after 11.30pm. I heard the doctor in the corridor talking about me but he didn't come in. I waited, and soon after 1am asked about the blood tests only to be told that they would be done at 7am and the results would be in at 9. I argued the point and the nurse agreed to repeat the tests and allow me to go home when the results came in. Meanwhile, my husband was trying to doze in one of the very upright chairs, no-one queried why he was still there or whether he should go home. Two hours later I enquired of yet another nurse who said the results would be in in the morning and the doctor would probably look at them then. I said I'd been told I could go home once the results were back and she said the notes weren't there, so maybe the doctor had them. I waited a bit longer and then decided to leave. I explained the position to the sister, no-one realised the doctor hadn't been to see me at all. I said that had he done so and let me know that he had changed the treatment timetable I had agreed with the ED, my husband could have gone home before midnight and I could have settled to sleep. The results weren't available and neither was the doctor, though he was apparently coming to see me once I decided to leave, so I left very disgruntled by the behaviour of the doctor who I was told I had seen but who had talked about me but never to me.

Skip to comments.I live near a swing state... our TV stations cover it. I want to see attack ads.
Posted on 10/09/2012 6:41:00 PM PDT by Winstons Julia
I think Romney needs to be swinging and I'm seeing milquetoast stuff.
He is pounding Barry here in So Fl
The Superpacs are taking care of the attacks. There's a new devastating ad from Rove's group, called "Intelligence" (search youtube).
All I can say is, I'm glad I'm preoccupied with work or I would probably have ulcers if I watched his campaign or the news of it.
You want to see Ads come to Wisconsin. I'm wearing out the mute button on my remote.
Here in Michigan Obama is running ads so he must know that this is not a slam dunk. Ryan was here last night. I know we are not very reliable but, don't give up on us yet.
Check this one out from Americans for Prosperity.
I just tweeted it and I'm posting it everywhere I can.
Let the PAC's throw the heat. The spots I see in SW Ohio has Obama attacking Mitt, while Mitt is talking about his solutions. To me, it appears Mitt is in control and Obama is the challenger and desperate. Still 3 plus weeks to go, with plenty of time for carnage.
Ryan-Biden this week, the touchy-feely townhall follows which Barack will probably do OK. The last debate is Foreign policy. That one is going to be decisive.
It's good.... but I haven't seen it on the TV stations here.
I am next to Iowa.
That is a good ad.
Remember the slaughter of democrats in MI in 2010.
It was a massacre at the polls.
I read something over the weekend about how the campaigns place their ads. For the most part, the advertising dollars are spent in about 10 states.
From a very selfish stand point it pleases me. Number one, it tells me pretty well that my state is more or less already decided and there is no reason to convince anyone. I say use the money in states that are squishy. Number two, not that I watch a lot of tv, but I don't have to listen to a lot of bs.
I have seen no Romney ads and very few O ads. If I want to see what they are putting out...I go to YouTube. Or many are featured here.
Consider us blessed.

Antony Chiang
President of the Foundation since 2010, Antony has championed the practice of "Philanthropy 3.0": doing whatever it takes to achieve measurable impact. Under his leadership, EHF has catalyzed a number of innovative public-private collaborations that have achieved measurable results in reducing the rate of uninsured, decreasing childhood obesity, mitigating the effects of childhood trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), increasing the pipeline of primary care providers, and improving other health outcomes in the region.

This pattern sits just over the hip bones on a person with a 30" waist, 39" hip and inseam of 32".
This first diagram shows the major pieces and how they go together before being pleated into the waistband.
A) Is the main leg piece which ends in the cuff.
B) Is the part the part which gets pleated at the front, and covers the side back at the back
C) Is an optional piece, and is in essence an extension of piece B)
D) Waistband
|Diagram 1
Diagram 2 shows the pieces as cut out flat.
A) Cut 2 @ 20x37.5
B) Cut 4 with long edge of 35.5, top of 24, and short edge of 13.5
C) Cut 4 with long edge of 13.5, top of 4.5, and short edge of 10 (this is the crotch depth measurement)
D) Cut 1 @ 44x7, and 1 of interfacing
You will also need a piece of elastic (1"-2" wide) cut to the appropriate length for the waistband, and 2 pieces of interfacing @ 1.5x20" for the cuffs
Diagram 3 shows how to cut the pieces for maximum fabric efficiency from 50" wide fabric, less the selvage (approximately 48" wide after removal). Dotted areas indicate unused pieces.
|Diagram 2
|Diagram 3
To construct:
The legs (refer to Diagram 1):
**french seams can be used if desired**
1) Iron on the interfacing 0.5" up from the bottom of both A pieces
2) Create the cuff on one A piece by pressing the 0.5" at the bottom over the interfacing, then turn up again 1.5". Do decorative stitching over the cuff to hold it in place.
3) Sew the long edges of two B pieces to the long edges of A by aligning the tops of the pieces and stitching down.
4) Sew the long edges of two C pieces to the long edges of the two B pieces attached to piece C
5) Repeat steps 2-4 for the other leg.
6) Sew the two legs together at the 10" edges of pieces C.
7) Sew the inseam from cuff to cuff, following the angle of piece B over the end of piece A. Make sure the opening is large/small enough to fit over your foot but not fall off easily. Trim piece A to 0.5" from the seam.
Pleating and attaching to waistband:
8) Iron the interfacing to the waistband piece D.
9) Sew the short ends of D together to make a tube.
10) Press open the seam then press the waistband in half lengthwise.
11) Press down a 0.5" seam allowance on one long edge of the tube.
11) With right sides together, match the CF/CB points of the pants to the CB/CF points on the long edge of the waistband without the seam allowance crease.
12) Pin the back of the pants to the waistband from the CB to the side points (~11" from CB on both sides), keeping both pieces lying smoothly against each other.
13) You will now have a great deal of excess fabric between the side points and the CF. Make even knife pleats in the fabric between these two points, with the pleats opening towards the CF (ie. switch directions on the left and right sides) until it fits smoothly into the waistband. This will likely take you a few tries.
14) Stitch legs to waistband on one edge. I suggest doing two lines of stitches, 0.25" apart to help keep things flat.
15) Press the seam upward.
Inserting elastic and finishing:
16) Sew the elastic ends together.
17) Place elastic into the lengthwise crease of the waistband.
18) Fold down the waistband over the elastic, and pin in place.
19) Topstitch, shifting the elastic and eased material around to easily sew. Take your time, as the pleats make this seam very thick at points.
20) Put on pants and dance around with joy.
I'd love to see any makes from this pattern, so feel free to link to your pictures in the comments.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/5/2013 (1556 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
What is it?
Translated from French, crème fraîche means "fresh cream." Traditionally, it was a heavy, unpasteurized cream that came from freshly milked cows and had been soured by bacterial culture. These days, the term more commonly refers to a specific kind of thick, rich, pasteurized cream produced in a factory that is lightly acidulated through controlled ripening.
Looks like:
Crème fraîche looks like sour cream, or maybe Greek yogurt -- thick, off-white and creamy. But where sour cream is made from cream that's around 20 per cent fat, crème fraîche is more like 30 per cent butterfat.
Tastes like:
Unlike its sour cousin, crème fraîche is rich and tart. The hint of acidity gives it a refreshing flavour. As of byproduct of the added bacteria that helped create it, it tends to make other foods taste buttery.
Used in:
In its native France, it's commonly used in sauces, salad dressings, soups and pastries, and as a topping for fresh fruit. It can also be spooned on to pancakes and waffles. Some people also like to whip it with a little powdered sugar and vanilla for a sweeter topping, or a filling for crepes.
Found at:
Vic's Fruit Market, 1038 Pembina Hwy.

normally the girls I date I already know as like friends before hand, but my friend is trying to hook me up with his roommate and I really want it to work Because she's cute and seems like a fun person (from what I've heard)
so any ideas on things to talk about. I figured we'd just go to the beach and hang out for a while, (should I change my idea for the date?)
I realize it could depend on the girl so ladys just say what you would like to talk about/ where youd like to go for first date
Most Helpful Guy
It's best not to keep a bunch of specific questions because you'll be more likely to freeze up. Conversation should flow naturally, but here are a few things to keep in mind.
Make sure it doesn't turn into an interview (you ask a question, she answers, you ask another, she answers, etc). The best thing to do is...I can't think of how to explain this properly at the moment lol...but basically you want to use the word "we" more, if that makes sense. So for example, if she tells you a story about some other country she's been to, you could say something like "Yeah, I've always wanted to go to Europe. We should totally win the lottery and go on a Eurotrip sometime." And then talk about what y'all would do in Europe. It helps put her in the mindset of the two of you together.
Another thing you can do if you find yourself looking for something to talk about is play the question game. Basically, you take turn asking each other questions, you can't repeat any questions that the other person asked, and if you don't want to answer you can say pass (that last part is just to make her feel more comfortable). It's a pretty easy way to turn things sexual as well.
Last thing to remember is not to be afraid of silences. You don't have to be talking the entire time, and most girls will appreciate a guy who they can just have a comfortable silence with. A lot of guys think silences are awkward, but if you don't, she won't.
Good luck!32|10|0
I would be a bit freaked out if a guy I barely know would start saying "we" a lot... I'd save that for later, to be honest, when I know that you are not a weird stalker and when I actually feel confortable around you.
- Show AllShow Less
As a girl, I completely agree with all of this ^ Especially the last part. I'd elaborate, but he pretty well explained it haha

What it Takes to Succeed in Shared Governance: The Leader's Role
Historically when organizations implement shared governance, attention is focused on what staff need in order to succeed; little to no attention or support is offered for leaders.

The culmination of the workshop is individual council meetings during which time participants are able to immediately begin applying the concepts they've learned. This can be a one-day workshop, or for a deeper more comprehensive dive, a two-day workshop.

Mouyokolo ready to fight
Steve Mouyokolo is ready to battle for a spot in the Wolves line-up after a frustrating start to the season.
Last Updated: 02/11/10 2:48pm
Steve Mouyokolo insists he is ready to battle for a spot in the Wolves line-up following a frustrating start to the season.
The defender, who arrived at Molineux from Hull City in the summer, has seen his start to life with Wolves hindered by niggling injuries.
However, Mouyokolo made his first Premier League appearance for Mick McCarthy's side in the closing stages of Saturday's win over Manchester City, and that run-out has given the 23-year-old a taste for action.
Worst start
"It has been the worst start possible for me having moved to a new club," Mouyokolo told Wolves' official website.
"It was tough to pick up niggling injuries at the start of the season.
"Now I've come to the light at the end of the tunnel and it's happy days.
"Fortunately I'm fit again now and there are a lot of games left to try and get into the team.
"The more games I will play and the more time I get on the pitch the better I will be."
He added: "The competition for places we're going to have in defence is good for the team and for the players to help us all to improve.
"I will give my best and everything I've got whenever I play to try and win a place."
Mouyokolo's only other outings this term have come in the form of Carling Cup starts against League One side Notts County and Manchester United.
The latter ended in a tight defeat at Old Trafford and the French-born stopper was disappointed to see Wolves exit the competition.
"I enjoyed the Manchester United game," he said.
"It was my second start but always going to be a step-up against a Premier League team after playing against Notts County before.
"It was exciting to be out there at Old Trafford and show people what I can do when I'm 100 per cent fit.
"It was frustrating I didn't end up on the winning side but that's football - you just have to get on with it."

By Dr. Ken Butterfield
From strengthening company culture to retaining employees, the emergence of ethics programs in the workplace has led to several positive outcomes. According to the Ethics Research Center's 2015 report "The State of Ethics in Large Companies," companies with effective programs saw a decrease in both the pressure for employees to compromise standards and observed misconduct in the workplace.
Companies can continue to grow their ethics programs by focusing on how the organization responds after unethical action has occurred. A growing trend is the use of restorative practices—making amends, forgiveness, and offender reintegration—an approach that moves beyond retribution to include restoring the offender, victims, and other affected parties—an effective model for repairing harm to individuals and the organization after an ethical transgression.
The most effective form of amends occurs when a remorseful offender acknowledges the transgression, accepts responsibility, and extends an apology or other form of restitution. For example, think of an employee who sabotaged a coworker's computer—a step they might take is to apologize, pay to repair the damage, and agree to seek counseling. This can be an emotionally charged event for both the offender and the victim; however, if done effectively, it can lead to a more harmonious work environment.
If the offender makes meaningful amends, forgiveness becomes the next key step in the process. By choosing to forgive, the victim makes a conscious effort to give up resentment and retaliation, even if the opportunity for revenge presents itself. Forgiveness can help victims relieve themselves of the burden of anger, resentment, and other negative feelings and can help restore damaged or broken relationships between victims and offenders.
While the process of amends and forgiveness can repair relationships on an individual level, the reintegration of the offender back into the workplace community is important for organizational repair. Reintegration typically begins with making amends and involves rebuilding trust, respect, and the relationships damaged by the wrongdoing. For example health care coworkers might extend forgiveness to a remorseful clinician who made an error in the delivery of patient care and express their willingness to work with the person to resolve the error and the associated harm to the patient and other affected parties. Reintegration works best when colleagues offer forgiveness and provide mentorship to the offender. Follow-up from managers and human resource specialists who can offer support are also important to successful reintegration.
Managers can use restorative practices in response to virtually any type of employee wrongdoing, from relatively minor offenses such as withholding information from a coworker, to more serious wrongdoing, such as workplace theft, bullying and sexual harassment. Responding with a restorative approach can be particularly important in organizations where employees are highly interdependent, such as team-based work environments. Conversely, the failure to repair unresolved harm and restore relationships can undermine employee well-being, escalate wrongdoing and contribute to a toxic work environment.
Not until recently have restorative practices been a major topic of conversation for organizations. Restorative responses to wrongdoing can have many benefits in modern organizations, including emphasizing the impact unethical behavior can have on people and their relationships. For example, when an employee verbally abuses a coworker during a meeting, a solely punitive response from the manager would focus on disciplining the offender. This approach often ignores the victim, who may have psychological and emotional needs after enduring the abuse and associated public embarrassment. Indirect victims are also generally ignored, such as coworkers who experienced stress and discomfort in witnessing the incident. Punitive responses also typically ignore the needs of a remorseful offender, who might experience harm in the form of lost self-respect, a diminished sense of personal integrity and a damaged reputation. Alternatively, a manager who uses a restorative response might arrange a meeting with willing parties to identify the harm that was caused, discuss appropriate amends, and develop strategies for healing and reintegration to prevent future problems.
Managers therefore play a key role in the implementation of restorative practices in the workplace. Managers can educate their employees on the benefits of these practices (restoring trust, relationship building, etc.) and can take several steps to ensure their effectiveness, including:
Restorative practices can play a significant role in resolving workplace wrongdoing. The current structure of many, if not most, ethics and compliance initiatives follow a more traditional punitive punishment model. Research has suggested that restorative practices and a focus on relationship repair may be more effective in terms of providing satisfaction, a sense of justice, sustained commitment to relationships and to the organization, and a reduced likelihood of future wrongdoing. While restorative practices may not be appropriate for all cases, they can be meaningfully integrated into existing ethics and compliance programs to improve trust and comradery among colleagues.
