It's time the protagonists in the Old Trafford/Rock of Gibraltar now acted like grown-ups.
There's only one word to describe the argy bargy going on at the moment between Alex Ferguson and John Magnier and that's "pathetic". You've two super rich people behaving like kids – "he said that, I said the other"…for God's sake lads, grow up!
If I was Manchester United PLC, I'd lock 'em in the boardroom and only let them out when they've come to some sort of financial agreement. Business people have to be ruthless when they're making deals, sure, but what you're seeing from both sides is embarrassing.
Why on earth didn't Fergie accept the financial settlement that was offered him before Christmas? As for John Magnier and his people, they'll never be welcome at Old Trafford or anywhere else there are Manchester United fans, which is pretty much the whole word. People like that I don't have the time of day for. That's society for you, though – there are no principles or morals anymore. They know the conversations they had together and what they shook on.
Despite it all, I'll be very surprised if Alex Ferguson isn't the Man U manager at the start of next season. Magnier & Co. may have more money than him but they don't have his status in the game, or the ability to United send share prices soaring.
But if he does get ousted, I imagine the man they'll go looking for is Martin O'Neill. He has the ability to turn good players into great ones plus he has experience of the Champions League which Sam Allardyce, Steve Bruce and the other names that are being bandied about don't. Sam's having a fantastic season with Bolton and, after a few initial hiccups, Steve's got Birmingham punching well above their weight. They may prove me completely wrong but I don't see United going continental – well, not unless it's Sven or Wenger. They'll want somebody who knows the Premiership inside out and won't need a period of adjustment.
I thought I'd seen everything in football, but Manchester City's comeback against Spurs was something else. 3-0 down, a man short and away from home…the odds couldn't have been any more stacked against them but they kept going. It's a one-off that I very much doubt will be repeated in my life, although Everton gave it a go on Saturday. How Rooney missed that chance in the final seconds I'll never know. As I said last year, if somebody like Chelsea comes in with a £20 million bid David Moyes would be an idiot not to accept it. He's a very promising lad but nowhere near the finished article which is what Everton need if they're not to get sucked into the relegation dogfight.
They were at home and had a full side, but I remember Marseilles being 4-0 down at half-time to Montpellier and coming back to win 5-4. There were a few bottles of vino sunk after that one!
Finally, I thought Arsene Wenger was very ungracious in defeat last week when Middlesbrough knocked Arsenal out of the League Cup. "They kept making professional fouls which meant we couldn't get into our natural flow." What a load of codswallop! It's not like he's Mickey Adams or Eddie Gray having to make excuses for poor performances every week. Once a season, he should be able to say: "We got beaten by the better team on the day." From what I'm told, he's quite a distant figure at Highbury – you certainly can't see him going out for a couple with the lads on Saturday night.
But as long as the results are good, who's complaining?
They're one of the tastiest sides in the UK, but Arsenal's relatively low standing in the league shows there's little use in stringing fancy passes together if you can't mix it up when the going gets rough.Read More

Welcome to unDependence Film Festival 2017
20-23 April - Edinburgh | 27-30 April - Stirling
unDependence is a thematic festival that aims to open up independent and arthouse film to a wider audience. Taking place in both Edinburgh and Stirling in April 2017 the festival is now entering its third year and is motivated by the conversations and creative energy surrounding the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum and by extension the 2016 EU Referendum. unDependence is not about just about exploring obscure avant garde film or making anarchical political statements. Instead, it's a platform for creativity, both in the films themselves and in our interactive program of workshops, talks, and screenings. The festival showcases a mixture of creative, independent films from all over the world which might lack blockbuster budgets but which exemplify great craftsmanship, storytelling, and cinematography. In short, it's a film festival for people who think they don't like film festivals (as well as those who already know that they do).
All of unDependence's films are linked by the theme of dependence, specifically the individual's relationship to and dependence on the social and/or cultural context they find themselves in. From the personal to the political, we invite our filmmakers to explore questions surrounding dependence through shorts, feature films, documentaries, animation and experimental work. The festival is about more than just the screenings and aims to generate a creative community by hosting a series of filmmaking workshops, talks and Q&As to promote audience engagement.
Individual screenings are £5 (plus a 50p booking fee*) in advance or £7 on the door. All screenings will also include a gin tasting courtesy of Valentia Gin for patrons who are 18+. Please double check you are booking for the correct evening as the location changes nightly. Our first week of screenings, workshops, and talks will be in Edinburgh and the second in Stirling. All details are below. Our ticketing company, Citizen Ticket, donates half of every booking fee to local charities in Scotland.

This could possibly be the reality star's sexiest photoshoot ever, and she left VERY little to the imagination.
Kendall Jenner has got into the Christmas spirit early – and taken on the role of naughty Santa for 2014.
The 19-year-old stripped off to lacy underwear and some revealing suspenders for the photoshoot with The Love magazine, and was barely recognisable in the smouldering shots.
Posing in possibly her sexiest shoot to date, the brunette beauty is seen bent down with her toned bum to the camera – wearing nothing but the black lingerie and a Santa hat.
With smoky eye make-up and sky high stilettos, Kendall looked far older than her teen years.

After Tupac and D Foster (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Special Order
D Foster showed up a few months before Tupac got shot that first time and left us the summer before he died.
The day D Foster enters Neeka and her best friend's lives, the world opens up for them. D comes from a world vastly different from their safe Queens neighborhood, and through her, the girls see another side of life that includes loss, foster families and an amount of freedom that makes the girls envious. Although all of them are crazy about Tupac Shakur's rap music, D is the one who truly understands the place where he's coming from, and through knowing D, Tupac's lyrics become more personal for all of them.
The girls are thirteen when D's mom swoops in to reclaim D and as magically as she appeared, she now disappears from their lives. Tupac is gone, too, after another shooting; this time fatal. As the narrator looks back, she sees lives suspended in time, and realizes that even all-too-brief connections can touch deeply.

Taco Lasagne
Recipe by MUFFYW
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do. I got this recipe from a friend of mine. Special notes: Sometimes I tear up the tortillas instead of just placing them whole, its easier to serve. I have used all Cheddar cheese or a mix of Cheddar and Monteray Jack. I also like topping this dish with Queso sauce (Rotel tomatoes and velveeta cheese). We like alot of refried beans, so I use two cans, but you can use just one.
Top Review by vrvrvr
Wonderful! We loved it! Big and hearty dish - feeds a crowd. I used 1 can of refried beans, thinned with a little hot salsa. I also ran out of tortillas, so I supplemented with crushed tortilla chips in the casserole and over the top. (BTW, I'm pretty certain the ingredients call for four 8" tortillas, not 48!) We garnished with green onion, lettuce, tomato and sour cream, served alongside a fresh corn & lime salsa. Couldn't stop eating this great stuff! That layer of refried beans lends a creaminess missing from other Mexican bakes. This is a winner!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup onion, chopped
- 2⁄3 cup water (less if you don't want it too soupy)
- 1 1⁄4 ounces taco seasoning
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can black beans
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes (mild, original or hot, your choice)
- 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 28 ounces refried beans (depending on how thick you like your beans)
- 2 cups mexican cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion, over medium heat, until meat is no longer pink; drain.
- Add water and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
- Stir in black beans and rotel tomatoes, simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
- Heat the refried beans, whether it be just one or two cans, in a saucepan.
- Place 2 tortillas in a greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Pour half of the heated refried beans over the tortillas and then half the meat mixture; sprinkle with 1 cup of the mexican cheese.
- Repeat the layer.
- Top with remaining tortillas and cheddar cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

How to stop yourself before you make another costly decision.... No one intentionally makes bad decisions. Yet we make them all the time. In fact, some of the worst disasters in recent history - the collapse of major investment banks, the global financial meltdown - were the result of seemingly reasonable decisions made by a lot of smart people. How does this happen?
Michael J. Mauboussin argues that the correct process for deciding well - especially when the stakes are high - conflicts with how our minds naturally work.
When faced with complex situations, our brains revert to simplified patterns that obscure better approaches to the problem. Even when we think we're applying logic and reason, we're subconsciously succumbing to social or situational influences. Fortunately, we can override our mind's default systems - that is, we can counter our intuition - by learning to "think twice".
In this compelling audiobook, Mauboussin outlines a disciplined approach to decision-making that will significantly reduce costly mistakes. Through vivid stories from business, sports, science, and everyday life, Mauboussin categorizes common mental mistakes and offers actionable advice for avoiding them, including:
Backed by powerful research and shrewd analysis, this audio book gives you a mental toolkit for spotting dangerous decision traps - and making smarter choices in your professional and personal life.
©2009 Michael J. Mauboussin (P)2010 Gildan Media Corp
"It's hard to think of a longer lever than better decision making, and today research in this area is advancing rapidly. In Think Twice, Mauboussin boils it all down into the key insights you really need in order to train yourself to make effective, stronger decisions." (Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO, Amazon.com)

"good book."
I found it to be a more practical consumable version of "Thinking Fast and Slow" which I also loved.
"Would not Recommend"
It was a struggle to finish because there are too many common ideas. For the price paid, it doesn't have enough original information.
"ok book"
I had to read this book for school. it's a good book about how to make good decisions. it's nothing ground breaking but it makes you realize most people that are very smart make really bad decisions also.
make you realise how easy it is to manipulate yourself. The mind has the power.........

Miranda to Launch Multiple HDTV Products at NABAlso extends its range of camera-mounted HD and DV interfaces (February 15, 2005)
Miranda Technologies will be launching multiple HDTV products at NAB2005, including a more powerful master control switching and channel branding processor, advanced HD signal processing interfaces, and expanded station monitoring and control solutions. Miranda is also extending its range of workflow enhancing, camera-mounted HD and DV interfaces.
New Dual DVE and Multigroup Audio Mixer for Imagestore HDTV Master Control Switching and Channel Branding Processor
Mirandas successful Imagestore HDTV master control switching and channel branding processor is strengthened with a new dual DVE and an integral multigroup audio mixer. The dual DVE option enables high-quality dual picture-in-picture effects for compelling program junctions and promotional graphics.
The new audio mixer provides 16-channel audio mixing using embedded or AES audio, and this provides an elegant solution for multichannel audio playout, including 5.1 and multilingual broadcasting. The processor can also provide eight-channel audio storage for 5.1 clips or stereo voice-overs in four different languages. Imagestore HDTV can be fully controlled by automation or with the easy-to-use PresStation panel, and it is fully scalable for basic HD branding activities or advanced graphics and master control switching.
Extended HD Interfacing and Signal Processing Range
Miranda has significantly extended its range of award-winning Imaging Series XVP HD interface modules with an HD cross- and downconverter, an upconverter and crossconverter, and an HD frame synchronizer and downconverter. These new interfaces all feature firmware that can be readily upgraded to provide additional signal processing functionality, thereby offering feature flexibility without a heavy up-front investment.
Another new Imaging Series module is the affordable QXC-801i HD crossconverter, which offers interfacing between popular HD standards including 1080i and 720p.
Miranda will also be showing an enhanced range of compact Densité Series interfaces, including the new DEC-1021 NTSC-to-SDI 3D/2D decoder, frame synchronizer, and proc-amp, which offers probing and streaming of video over IP for more effective remote control and monitoring.
Multiple New Features for iControl Monitoring and Control Over IP Systems
At NAB2005 Miranda will be showing its iControl monitoring and control over IP system adapted for key applications including incoming feed management, multichannel HD/SD master control, and network operation centers for cable, satellite, and IPTV operators.
Many new features have been added to iControl, transforming it into a high-level Element Management System specifically tuned to television and radio operations. The system leverages industry-standard SNMP protocols for monitoring and control of video as well as all of the surrounding transmission, networking, and building infrastructure.
A new Third Party Zone feature allows third-party applications to be hosted directly within iControl. When problems occur with a third-party element, iControl will automatically reveal the third-party application for the failed element. Another innovation is scripted macros that allow automatic reaction to element failures or guide operators through complex diagnostic and repair procedures. All these features enable operators to diagnose and repair complex systems more effectively, dramatically reducing downtime.
A simpler and lower-cost version of iControl, called iControl Solo, has also been launched. This new software provides easy configuration and control of Mirandas signal processing and distribution modules from a PC over a standard IP network.
Workflow Enhancing HD and DV Camera Interfaces
Mirandas range of workflow enhancing HD and SD camera-mounted interfaces has been strengthened with the DVC-802/822 HD downconverter and DV encoders for Sony and Panasonic HD cameras, as well as the MDC-902/922 HD downconverters, all of which feature 24p to 50i support.
At the other end of the camera market, Miranda has introduced the DV-Bridge-CAM, an interface for DV cameras that provides high-quality DV-to-SDI conversion. This neat interface fits on a DV cameras tripod mount and makes it easy for compact and low-cost DV cameras to output broadcast standard video.
About Miranda Technologies
Miranda Technologies is a world-leading manufacturer of video and audio equipment for the broadcast, production, and post-production markets, with a range spanning interfacing and distribution, routing, master control switching and channel branding, multi-image display processors, and monitoring over IP systems. Headquartered in Montreal, Miranda also has major offices in Morristown (N.J., U.S.), Wallingford (Oxon, UK), Paris, and Tokyo.

Most people have had the experience of going through a drive-thru at a fast food restaurant and having to come back through the line because they forgot your sauce or dip.
One couple in Peoria, Arizona, found themselves in that situation over the week, but the manager on duty provided some of the worst customer service ever. The couple started recording the exchange when the manager flipped them off.
When the customers told the manager he shouldn't act so poorly in a leadership position, he replied:
"I don't give a f***. Alright, where you going to post it YouTube? Nobody is going to fu***** see it. Where you going to send it to?"
Then, the woman in the passenger's seat tells him they will send it to his boss. And he responds:
I am the boss. My dad is actually the fu***** owner, so good luck with that. I've done this a billion times. You guys give me sh** all the fu**** time."
When the woman in the passenger's seat explains it's her first time at that Del Taco, the manager clarifies what he meant by "you guys":
"I'm talking about you specifically. I'm talking about you as a customer. So how long you want to do this? Like five minutes, an hour, I can do this all fu***** day."
"But in reality, it's the same fu***** outcome. Why? Because you got your sauces, you guys are still being bi***** and I'm fu***** pissed off because I still got orders."
He doesn't even care that the couple ordered more food. He just keeps dropping the f-bomb.
Eventually, the couple chooses to drive away. As they leave the Del Taco, the manager calls them fu***** dumb*****."
However, if the manager thought he got the last laugh, he didn't.
ABC 15 reported that:
A manager at an Arizona Del Taco has been fired after video of a hostile interaction with a customer went viral when it was posted online earlier this week.
The video has been shared several times on ABC15's Facebook page and Del Taco's Facebook page.
In response, Del Taco said they were "appalled" by the employee's behavior and that they strive to provide a "positive guest experience at all their restaurants."

I Know This Is Stupid, But How Do I Make A Marbe Cake?
Decorating By mindywith3boys Updated 28 Apr 2008 , 12:44pm by mindywith3boys
I have to make a marble cake for a wedding next month. I tried to make one, by just adding coco to about a third of the batter and swirling it though. But it didn't seem to be chocolaty enough.
I make a batch of yellow and a batch of chocolate, put one flavor on one side of the pan and the other on the other side then swirl with a knife to mix them,
I make a yellow cake (or whatever flavor, strawberry is good, too) and reserve a cup of batter which I mix with a 1/4 cup cocoa powder til it looks like choc. batter.
The rest of the yello batter goes into my pan and then I drop spoonfulls of the choc. onto the yellow and swirl with a knife.
I have only made marble cake in 11X15 pans, but I'm sure the process would be the same for any shape. I make yellow batter and put it in the pan first. Then I make devil's food and put it on top of the yellow. Then I take a butter knife and swirl all around. I think it makes a good combination and I have had many repeat orders for it.
Thanks so much for your answers! You guys are a big help!

We did a search for other eBooks with a similar title, however there were no matches. You can try selecting from a similar category, click on the author's name, or use the search box above to find your eBook.
Shipping and port systems are vital to societies and lifestyles around the world. In the late twentieth-century, however, assumptions concerning the robustness of these systems were severely shaken by economic shocks triggered by oil crises.
This volume explores how many of the consequent uncertainties have been resolved, and how adapted systems have been shaped to meet the challenges of the new millennium. To explore these issues, contributors focus on issues such as:
* Economic integration of emerging economies - in particular China
* Sectors as diverse as the high-speed ferry and offshore oil industries
* Pollution problems generated by shipping
Contributors' investigations, such as those in to the homogenization of the container industry and the port cluster concept and 'model' vessels for the offshore oil industry, make for a rewarding book that will be of interest to academics working in many fields including transport studies, marine and coastal studies and economic geography. Professional Organizations and policy-makers will also appreciate the book.

Join WFSE/AFSCME!
When you sign a union membership card, you become a member of the largest union for state, higher education and public service employees in the state of Washington!
We are 42,000+ strong and together we have a powerful voice to protect workers' rights and our jobs, pay, benefits, working conditions and public services.
Union membership helps us build a strong and united voice for public service and the services we provide.
Joining is easy. Complete and sign a membership card and return it to a shop steward or HR representative at your workplace or simply fold, seal and drop in the mail.
Participation leads to concrete gains.
Union membership gives you the right to participate in decisions that impact you at your job. Union membership gives you a voice and the opportunity to participate in the democratic governance of the union (see page 8). Union membership gives you access to members-only benefits.
Unity is a strong defense.
Are you concerned about what has happened to state and public employees over the past few years?
Coordinated attacks on unions and workers' rights across the country could soon impact us right here in Washington.
We are at a crossroads. Either we unite and use our voice - and rights - to strengthen our union, or we may lose all we've gained:
Bottom line: Union membership matters.
We cannot take our rights and benefits for granted any longer. The most important way you can help grow this movement of working people is by becoming a union member today.
This form must include your signature for processing, so please print and sign before mailing to to us at WFSE HQ, 1212 Jefferson Street SE, Olympia WA 98501.
You can reach us at 800-562-6002 or firstname.lastname@example.com
How much are dues?
In accordance with Article VI, Section 1 of the WFSE/AFSCME Constitution, membership dues are 1.5% of a union member's gross monthly salary, capped at $81.18 per month as of July 1, 2017. Our dues cap increases in proportion to wage increases. The dues rate (1.5%) can only be changed if elected member-delegates vote to amend our constitution during a WFSE/AFSCME convention. Conventions take place every two years.
In accordance with our constitution, the monthly dues maximum (i.e., the cap) changes if state employees receive a general wage increase. So if state employees receive a 2% wage increase, the monthly cap increases by 2%. The dues rate of 1.5% is not affected by a general wage increase.
Are union dues tax deductible?
Under the Federal Budget Reconciliation Tax Act of 1987, dues, contributions or gifts to WFSE/AFSCME are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
Dues, however, may qualify as business expenses and may be deductible in limited circumstances subject to Internal Revenue Service restrictions.
Where does our dues money go?
Members provide the resources, both people and financial power, to stand up for good jobs and benefits, decent working conditions and a better future for our families. This is why union workers earn 27% more (on average) than non-union workers.*
Dues and fees allocations:
Members decide how to fund activities that give working people more power at the bargaining table, in the legislature and in our communities.
How does AFSCME Council 28 (WFSE) use our resources to help us build power to win?
WFSE Locals use resources to assist local members participate in the democratic governance of our union, member education and training at conventions and conferences.
How does AFSCME use our resources to help us build power to win?
Money transmitted to AFSCME ensures our voice is heard on national and regional issues that matter to working people, such as social security, FLSA, OSHA, ADA, FMLA, etc. Additionally, AFSCME provides negotiations assistance, trainings, and grants to Council 28 to support our internal outreach to members.
*U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Union Members 2014, 1/2015
Please contact us at (800) 562-6002 or with questions
All state employees covered by a WFSE-negotiated contract are required to either join WFSE and pay member dues; or choose a non-member status as explained below:
What is union security?
Union security refers to provisions in our contract that allow WFSE to collect dues from employees who become members as well as to collect fees from employees who benefit from union representation but do not join the union. The non-member fees (Representation Fee or Non-Association Fee) recognize that everyone in a union-represented workplace benefits from the pay increases, stabilized health care costs and other provisions of the union-negotiated contract. It's fair to all covered employees for everyone to share in the costs that protect the union's ability to provide meaningful employee representation. That's why Non-Member fees are often called "fair share" fees.
Why do I have to pay a fee?
Negotiating contracts is very expensive for the union. The union must bargain every two years for the roughly 40,000 workers it represents. The costs of preparation, research and actual bargaining teams' expenses are formidable. Additionally, the fees pay for the services you receive from the union both on a day-to-day basis under the contract and over the long term: in on-going contract development and negotiations to continue to improve our ability to do our jobs, in representing individuals to resolve conflict in the workplace, and to be a collective voice on issues employees care about– at the bargaining table, in the Legislature and in agency/institution forums.
How is the amount of each deduction determined?
The representative fee deduction is a percentage of your salary and has a monthly cap of $58.94, effective 7/1/2016, for the 2016-17 fiscal year. Non-members granted Non-Association status have a monthly cap of $79.59, effective 7/1/2016.
For your first half of the month pay (the 1st – 15th), which you receive on the 25th of the month, the deduction will be half of your monthly salary times the rate of 1.12% (Representation Fee) or 1.5% (Non-Association). On your paycheck for the second half of the month (the 16th – end of the month), paid on the 10th of the following month, the deduction will be half of your monthly salary times the rate, up to the maximum.
For example:
Are union fees tax deductible?
Under the Federal Budget Reconciliation Tax Act of 1987, dues, contributions or gifts to WFSE/AFSCME are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Dues, however, may qualify as business expenses and may be deductible in limited circumstances subject to Internal Revenue Service restrictions.

Parents will have a much shorter time to provide proof of immunization due to these new regulations. Previously, families had 8 months to provide proof of immunization to the school. The regulations require most proof of immunization to be provided on or before the first day of school or risk their child's exclusion from school. The goal is to ensure that children in school are adequately protected from preventable diseases.
Children in ALL grades (K-12) need the following immunizations for attendance:
7th grade ADDITIONAL requirements:
12th grade ADDITIONAL requirements:
Exemptions to school law for immunizations:
If a child is exempt, he or she may be removed from school during an outbreak/health emergency
Additional information regarding immunization requirements may be found by visiting the PA Department of Health website at www.health.pa.gov.

Makosi Musambasi has just revealed how she recently had lump removed from her breast.
She shared her experience on her Instagram page.
Read up;
On a lovely August evening I had just come from the gym tired as usual! I remember on this particular day I went to the gym in the evening
You know that feeling when you remove your sports bra…the relief, you then scratch really well …and as I was scratching I came across what every woman dreads to come across! A lump! I ignored it for a week , refused to touch my boob for a week, refused to pray about it or talk to anyone about it
It was in my head but not in my head
7 days later I went to see my doctor, he said because of my age it was not necessary to do an mri scan so he just ordered an ultra sound….
I will do a video of what went through my head for 6 months, my struggle with God.. .I wondered and asked I eat well I pray I train every day I am freaken #fitfam why this…
For now I give God back the glory that the surgery was success…
I learnt that there is nothing we can do to impress God …He is not a man that He can be impressed with what impresses us
When we are born we are given a script we have to act out…
That script sometimes will make you fight God (Jonah)..but still glorify Him
Ladies…feel your breasts…get tested…there is nothing to fear
Because that Unwanted visitor #deathknocks on every door
Life will humble you yes but remember God is God and you have to do your script justice…this is as much as I can dictate while someone types…when I'm better we will continue
7/1/17 will always be a day to remember
#bestyearever #thebestisyettocome#neverthoughtthiswouldbeme#dosomethingepic #gratefulanyway#lionessarising #lioness #bebrave#brave

Hello again!
This is what I'm working on today. In 2008, Rhonda "made me" sign up for the Hamel's Thangles block of the month program. At first I eagerly completed my blocks as I got the supplies each month and then it quickly got put on the back burner as I was consumed with other projects. Well, at our last Bag Ladies sewing night I decided it was time to get back at this quilt and I've been working on it ever since. Time to make and add the borders!
Now that my shows (House, Grey's, Lost) are back on I'm getting lots of knitting done, too. I am hooked on baby toques! They are so adorably delicious and ridiculously quick to whip up. Now I just need to find some babies to give them to.
A year ago I was doing working on this fun project.

Question: Delivery Quik Inc delivers packages to small retail stores from
Delivery Quik Inc. delivers packages to small retail stores from a central distribution point in a major metropolitan area. Drivers both load and unload their packages, some of which weigh close to 100 pounds. Although equipment helps the drivers in their tasks, there is still considerable lifting necessary. Delivery Quik has a policy that drivers must stand at least 6 feet tall and weigh no less than 180 pounds. All drivers must retire at age 45 and have at least a high school education. Does the height, weight, age, and education policy discriminate illegally?
How would you change the policy?
If your customers prefer male drivers, does their preference mean that the company can hire only males as drivers?

Family Church to look at Mark
Graham Fish, part of the leadership team, Kingsbridge Family Church, writes:
Thank you for the fun News of the Weird article and quiz concerning the birth of Jesus Christ.
It is true the actual date is unknown, but that does not mean God did not enter our world in the flesh and live the most amazing life.
The crucial point of his coming is to show us how to love one another and how to have a relationship with God. That is the good news that Jesus in the gospels speaks about – and let's face it, we need some.
If, like me, you are looking at 2017 and hoping it is going to be better than last year, then there has got to be some changes in the way you and I live out our day.
The changes that matter only happen on the inside. Love, patience and kindness are just three aspects of God's character seen in the words of Jesus.
I'm impressed and intrigued by the person of Jesus Christ, so much so that from Sunday, January 8, until Easter, at Kingsbridge Family Church we shall go through the gospel of Mark.
It is the first and shortest account about who Jesus is and what he came to do.
His words are amazing and his miracles astonishing, so if you are wondering what it is all about, come and join us.
There will be a warm welcome, good coffee and maybe you will discover something to change your outlook in 2017.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
My mortgage company foreclosed on my house and bought the house at the foreclosure sale.They then subsequently reinstated the loan. They charged exorbitant legal fees and repayment to catch the loan up (to the tune of $20,000) The sheriff came to my house and said that I had to vacate within the week previous to the reinstatement. I had a home equity loan by the same company and after they reinstated the loan the home equity branch is taking me to court for their money. My question is did the mortgage company assume that loan when they purchased the house at the foreclosure sale? and shouldnt that have been added into the amount I was charged to bring the house current? This is in the state of Georgia
Are you saying that they cannot come after the house? What does wipes out the lien of any junior lenders mean? Is this type of loan eligible for filing bankruptcy on?

Zoku makes this great travel tumbler. It's great for keeping your drinks cool while on the run.
Zoku has all kinds of products for your household/kitchen. They put the fun in functional with innovative, easy-to-use, well-designed products. Zoku means family in Japanese. The definition goes beyond creating family memories around their products, it speaks to our culture.
[tweetthis]@ZokuHQ sells this great travel tumbler. It's a must have item![/tweetthis]
Zoku Travel Tumbler is now my new favorite cup.
I use cups with a lid all the time in house not just when I am out and about. I call them my adult sippy cups. I'm a clutz and knock my cup over way more often than I'd care to admit. This tumbler from Zoku is by far my favorite.
While it is not spill proof I don't make as big of a mess as I usually do. The silicone seal around the lid makes for a nice tight seal. The reason for less spillage is that the straw actually stays in the cup! That's amazing.
The double-walled design keeps drinks insulated and your hands warm and dry on the outside. This cup keeps 16oz of your favorite beverage cool at all times. I don't like ice in my drinks because I don't like the watered down taste. I love the fact that my iced tea stays colder longer in this tumbler.
This tumbler is BPA and phthalate free and should be hand washed only.
You can pick between the colors: red, green, teal, blue and purple. The retail price of this tumbler is only $11.99. At that price and given the color choices you can get a tumbler for every member of the family.
The Zoku company is one that many know and you probably have an item in your cupboard from them. Did you know if you have any of their ice pop molds you can buy replacement parts for them?

BlackBerry PlayBook, A recent announcement that Sprint (NYSE: S) said that the company has discontinued its plans to offer BlackBerry PlayBook 4G Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM) although it will still offer the Wi-Fi only version of the tablet.
The company apologized for any inconvenience that the company has indicated that the tablet BlackBerry 4G PlayBook that was previously announced last January will not be offered by the company more. The company added that the decision was taken by both RIM and Sprint.
After the recent report in the Sprint 4G PlayBook BlackBerry, RIM also said the company focused on 4G LTE and connectivity technology used by Sprint 4G WiMax uses. A statement from RIM said the company has come to a decision to focus on the development and prioritization of LTE.
Assessments are ongoing and the company intends to acquire certifications for network equipment in the U.S. market and international market by fall, the company said.
The tablet 4G Sprint offer is only 4G Evo View HTC (TPE: 2498) and it will probably be the shelf 4G only that the company will offer, for he has decided not to offer the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G.
But Sprint also said that customers can take advantage of 4G connectivity for BlackBerry PlayBook using the Overdrive Pro Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR), the 3G/4G MiFi Novatel (NASDAQ: NVTL) or any Sprint's 4G devices whose capabilities based mobile hotspot.

Welcome to Birdquest
Birdquest's Best of Papua New Guinea birding tour is a classic birdwatching trip. Our Best of Papua New Guinea tour visits Port Moresby, Kiunga and Ambua Lodge at Tari, producing a fantastic array of birds, including up to 20 species of birds-of-paradise and a large number of other endemics, in just two weeks in this fascinating land where the Stone Age coexists with the 21st Century.
Thursday 24th August —
Tuesday 5th September 2017
(13 days)
Leaders: Chris Kehoe and local bird guides
Group Size Limit: 9
Tour Category: Easy walking for the most part and comfortable accommodations almost throughout
From high in an ancient, gnarled and epiphyte-bedecked tree a strange, static electric crackling reveals the presence of a displaying King of Saxony Bird of Paradise sitting on a snag and waving its extraordinary head-plumes like some strange antennae. A cacophony of yelping reaches a crescendo in the foothill forest and an arching, flaming mass of shivering yellow and orange-pink resolves itself into a Raggiana Bird of Paradise. A pinprick of blood red against an emerald canopy is a King Bird of Paradise. A glint of iridescent viridian, illuminated by a shaft of sunlight that pierces the lead-grey, rumbling heavens, is followed by a rippling wave of white tail streamers as a Ribbon-tailed Astrapia takes to the air.
There is no need to say that we are on the island of New Guinea, for these extraordinary birds are amongst the most famous in the world. Indeed, their wondrous variations in form and colouration, that defy simple description, are so 'out-of-this-world' that when the first skins (which lacked feet) reached Europe they were thought to be faked constructs, or even heavenly species that had somehow fallen to earth!
New Guinea is the second largest island in the world and to this day remains one of the wildest, most sparsely settled regions on earth. Over 700 species of birds are found here, the world's richest island avifauna, and nearly half of these are found nowhere else! Whilst the extraordinary birds of paradise are the finest jewels in New Guinea's ornithological crown, there is so much else to attract the birdwatcher – huge but secretive cassowaries, strange mound-builders, a gorgeous array of doves, pigeons, parrots and kingfishers (all of which reach their greatest diversity here), sinister-looking frogmouths, skulking jewel-babblers, exquisite fairy-wrens, brightly coloured flycatchers, confusing honeyeaters and fascinating bowerbirds to mention just some of the highlights.
The island of New Guinea holds no fewer than seven endemic bird families, including the monotypic Wattled Ploughbill (family Eulacestomatidae), the monotypic Blue-capped Ifrit (family Ifritidae), the longbills and berrypeckers (family Melanocharitidae), the painted berrypeckers (family Paramythiidae), Mottled Berryhunter (formerly Mottled Whistler, family Rhagologidae), the satinbirds (family Cnemophilidae) and the melampittas (family Melampittidae), making it an absolutely key destination for anyone wanting to see all the world's bird families.
This classic tour explores the eastern half of the island, Papua New Guinea (or 'PNG'), where we shall travel from modern towns to regions almost untouched by the twentieth century (or even the last millennia) and still inhabited by stone-age tribes whose warriors dress in bark belts, loincloths and headdresses decorated with bird of paradise plumes.
While much of New Guinea is still primitive and undeveloped, conditions for visitors in Papua New Guinea often amaze first timers: standards of accommodation often being good or excellent, and vehicles modern and comfortable. The only downside is that it is a surprisingly expensive place.
We shall start our travels at Port Moresby on the southeast coast. This excellent area possesses one of the richest avifaunas in Papua New Guinea due to its unusual diversity of habitats ranging from dry, Australian-like eucalypt savanna and grassland to lowland rainforest and hill forest. Here we will look for flamboyant Raggiana Birds of Paradise and Growling Riflebirds, as well as many other exciting birds.
Next we will travel far to the west, to the frontier town of Kiunga on the great Fly River of southwestern Papua New Guinea. In this remote area many large species that have been extirpated by hunting elsewhere can still be seen, as well as some exciting western specialities. Star attractions include the huge Southern Crowned Pigeon, Spangled Owlet-Nightjar, Flame Bowerbird and the gorgeous Greater, Twelve-wired and King Birds of Paradise.
For our grand finale, and in total contrast, we will fly up to Tari in the western highlands. Here we will explore the magnificent cloud forests of Mount Kerewa and the fringes of the Tari Valley, home of the famous Huli tribe or 'wigmen', in search of the area's remarkable selection of birds of paradise and many other montane specialities. Highlights here will include the superbly elegant Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, the strange King of Saxony Bird of Paradise, the striking Blue Bird of Paradise, Loria's Satinbird and the retiring Lesser Melampitta. Here also we will be on the lookout for Wattled Ploughbill, Blue-capped Ifrit, Mottled Berryhunter and a variety of berrypeckers and painted berrypeckers.
Birdquest has operated tours to Papua New Guinea since 1986.
Birding in Papua New Guinea: New Guinea has a rich, fantastic and world-renowned avifauna, but many birds here are shy and, although one does see some bird of paradise display, visitors should not expect to see the quantity and intensity of display that takes film-makers many months or even years to gather.
Accommodation & Road Transport: The hotel in Port Moresby is of a good standard. The famous Ambua Lodge at Tari is the only good quality accommodation in the area. At Kiunga the hotel is of medium quality but is comfortable. At the Elevala River we will spend one night in a very basic lodge with two beds in each partitioned area in the building and shared outdoor bathroom facilities. Road transport is by small coach or minibus. Roads range from reasonable to poor, but then we do not have to travel long distances on them.
Walking: The walking effort is mostly easy, occasionally moderate.
Climate: Generally warm or hot, dry and sunny at lower altitudes, but cool in upland areas. Overcast weather is quite regular and there is very likely to be some rain, perhaps heavy and prolonged at times. It will be rather humid in the lowlands.
Bird Photography: Opportunities are worthwhile.
Papua New Guinea Tour Prices: Prices in Papua New Guinea are very high by any standards, but there are reasons for this. In the first place accommodations in PNG are mostly very expensive, as is transport for tourism purposes. PNG is a country with only a thin 'meniscus' of development that sits on an otherwise very undeveloped part of the world. The very limited but often very comfortable layer of infrastructure that tourism uses (there are some superb lodges here) is also used by oil and gas development staff, miners, lumber extractors and many other expatriates, with the result that prices are exceedingly high. Furthermore, there are only a very limited number of local agents that specialize in eco-tourism, so they can effectively dictate price levels. This combination makes for remarkably high prices.
Tour Price: £6090, €7190, $7980 Port Moresby/Port Moresby.
Price includes all transportation (including all flights inside Papua New Guinea), all accommodations, all meals, bottled water, some drinks, all excursions, all entrance fees, all tips for local drivers/guides and for accommodations/restaurants, leader services.
Single Room Supplement: £770, €909, $1009 (excluding one night at the Elevala River).
Deposit: £700, €950, $1050.
Base prices for this tour are in US Dollars. The exchange rates applied at the time of costing were: £1 = $1.310 and €1 = $1.110.

One of the busiest health districts in Sydney will make staff redundant after a budget blowout that has seen it record a $20 million deficit, Fairfax Media can reveal.
The deficit comes as the south-eastern Sydney health district has seen huge increases in patient numbers, and recently was so overwhelmed by emergency cases one of its major hospitals was put on unofficial bypass by the ambulance service because it was too full to accept patients.
It is now asking staff to accept voluntary redundancies, but it says they will be restricted to only about 50 "non-clinical staff" and will not affect patient care.
Health Services Union secretary Gerard Hayes said it was ridiculous to claim getting rid of staff would not affect patient care.
"They are frontline services," he said. "If you do away with administration officers then the clinicians are going to have to pick up that role."
"There is also no legitimate reduction because work has not disappeared," he said.
Figures from the Bureau of Health Information show the number of emergency cases treated at Prince of Wales Hospital increased by 6 per cent last year alone, while emergency surgery increased by 9 per cent.
At St George, another major hospital in the district, emergency presentations and emergency surgery both increased by 8 per cent in the past year.
Despite this, both hospitals have managed to decrease waiting times and see more patients within clinically recommended time frames, although neither have been able to meet national targets that 90 per cent of patients are seen in emergency departments within four hours.
Mr Hayes said there had also been no consultation with the union before the job cuts were announced, and it did not know which positions would go.
Labor health spokesman Walt Secord said given the strain the health system was under, the last thing the government should be doing was allowing hospitals to "dump staff".
"With the health system stretched to breaking point, I absolutely reject their claim that cutting 50 positions will not affect patient care" he said. "The Baird government is just misleading the community with definitions and job titles; it will absolutely affect patient care."
But Gerry Marr, the chief executive of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, said there were 11,000 staff in the district overall, so it could remove 50 positions "without compromising patient care".
"SESLHD has a duty to remain financially responsible and ensure taxpayers' money is directed to frontline services," he said. He acknowledged the district had accrued a $20 million deficit in the 2014/15 financial year, but said it had implemented strategies to reduce costs including reducing overtime and centralising procurement.
Health Minister Jillian Skinner said the district must keep to its budget, which is $1.59 billion for the current financial year, an increase of 4.4 per cent on 2014/15.
"I am advised by South Eastern Sydney Local Health District that redundancies will be voluntary and will not include staff involved in clinical care," she said. "I am confident these redundancies will not impact on frontline patient care."

The Pigalle Club in London's Piccadilly was quite the rave in the 1960s. It's still going as a music and dining club but the online reviews are the definition of 'divided opinion'. Back in June there was a post here on Front Free Endpaper about the Men of the Folies Bergere, this programme that I've just hooked out of a box from auction didn't have anywhere near the same amount of male eye-candy to show you but I don't mind being aligned with the stereotype who can't pass by on the other side when there are tassells and sequins to look at. And I did, at least, find one beautiful man to introduce you to. This (below) is the magician Harry Vendryes who was a part of the Extravaganza show at the Pigalle. It appears he is remembered, on online magic forums, as having one of the most beautiful dove acts ever seen, which certainly seems to be what he is doing in this photo, some say that because of an accident he had a large cavity in the side of his body which he was able to use to conceal the doves about his person. He disappeared from the scene and no one online seems to know what became of him but wow, what a stunner.

Harry Vendryes at The Pigalle, Piccadilly

I met Harry Vendryes almost two week ago in Kingston, Jamaica where he is living in the household of a friend. Harry was very charming and did some magic tricks for us. Unfortunately he is in the early to mid stages of dementia.
