Treading The Tightrope or Just A Bunch of Clowns?
I was mid rant this morning when Crofty called round. My dad showed me the front page of his copy of The Week and ignited me. Here is a calmer more reflective version of what I said:
Whichever way you look at it we, the cops, are not particularly well thought of at the moment. My last blog post about the tightrope you walk between your desire to knee a bully in the balls and the steadying hand on the mental brake that prevents you, was almost prescient.
First off my Easter weekend was messed up by a tosser of a boss who couldn't remember how to look after documents marked 'Secret'; or perhaps he was one of those bosses who think that sort of thing beneath him; perhaps his little man or woman was having a day off so he had no one to pop the documents into a secure briefcase or something.
Either way, my Friday night out was messed up when my friend found he had to work.
Then we have the G20 protests, and this is the biggie.
I wonder what the percentage was of officers policing the demo who lost their rag and saw the red mist, or whatever you want to call it, and lashed out at someone?
Against that backdrop now have a think about how many of the protesters' sole motive was to cause disruption, using violence to property or people.They were there in numbers, but they were peppered among the rightly indignant ones ones on a trip from church or WI Peace Group. This is the very effective tactic of those anarchist organisations there only to smash the machine and this is why we, the public and the police - because we, the police, are in both - need to have a good hard think about what we want.
I find it hard to talk about the wrongs or rights of the G20 policing - after all, someone died maybe as the result of what one of us did, there's no getting past that. Equally another of us was sufficiently wound up like a spring by a female protester who admitted swearing and pushing the officer, who then maybe went to far in his use of reasonable force, we'll see what happens in the investigation.
What I will say is don't be fooled into thinking that there is any sort of cover-up when it comes to the investigation, officers are genuinely put through the mincer to get to the truth. If any covering up is done, it is later and for political reasons beyond the rights or wrongs of front-line officers.
The interesting question is about what we all want from our Police in situations like the G20 - the cops did what they thought their bosses wanted. If the style of policing - using coralling tactics - was hard and appeared brutal it was because that was what they had been told: stamp on it before the lid comes off.
So what do we want?
Are we prepared to allow public protests to explode from time to time so we can have freer demonstrations or would we rather put up with a bit of rough shoving and pushing to allow the police to stamp the mark of authority on a situation.
I don't know. What I do know is that me and my colleagues will still be there doing whatever it is that the public decide they want from us. And that is what makes policing in this country still great.
Gosh I feel better for that.

Am I Human? No I'm a Police Officer
My biggest reason for joining the cops was to do with protecting weak and vulnerable people. I love the idea of riding quickly to someone's aid, whisking them to safety and/or vanquishing the foe. In short, bullies get my goat. I suppose that's why I hate Domestic Violence so much. People think Domestic Violence is about relationships or misplaced love. It's not: it's about power and vulnerability.
Last week we were called to a Domestic Dispute at a house we knew well. We didn't need the radio operator to tell us of the long list of domestic incidents, nor the DV Marker on the premises; so we knew we needed to hurry up and get there.
The front door was open and on top of the angry masculine shouts, we could hear furniture going over. This, it turned out was him trying to get to her as she scurried, animal-like our of his reach around the furniture. When we got in she was cowering on the floor in the corner, behind the dining table. She was about 7stones wet through, lank mousey hair - in fact everything about her was mousey, probably because she'd never been allowed to be anything else. She stared up at us resentfully, wiping blood and snot from her nose, mascara all over her eyes.
Don't be surprised it was resentment rather than gratitude. She knew from experience that the best way to get through it was to weather the storm until his anger was spent. Our intervention would probably only make it worse next time she incurred his wrath, by looking at him the wrong way or saying something during Hollyoaks or something. .
The moment that made me doubt myself was when we went through the door. The bastard stopped and turned as we shouted "Police!", and rather than run, or fight, he simply turned with a smirk, hands held up submissively. It was the smirk that got to me. I've seen that look a hundred times, it said:
"Come on then, let's get it over with. Cart me off. She won't press charges and I'll be back tomorrow"
Up until that point, everything about our approach had been professional: fast, safe driving, due consideration to the vulnerability of the victim, and a determination to do the right thing with the perpetrator, using all the criminal justice weapons at our disposal.
When he smirked I wanted him to fight, to try to escape, to do something that allowed me an excuse to use as much lawfully justifiable force as I could; anything to release the choking lump of anger in my chest. In the event I forced him forwards, unresisting, over the table, dragging his passive arms behind him to cuff him, for the ride in the van to the station.
I thought I was in control but as I ratcheted on the cuffs roundhis wrists, he shouted,
"Agghhh, you bitch!"
The metal bracelets of the Kwik-Cuffs had bitten deep into his flesh. Slackening them off I could see the red welts I had caused and wanted to think that I had simply cuffed him quickly, to restrain a violent offender as rapidly and safely as possible. But as much as that was partly true - after all it's what we're trained to do - it wasn't the whole story. I had wanted to lean over him, pushing his head into the table surface, put my mouth close to his ear and whisper:
"How do you like it you snivelling piece of shit"
I didn't do it; but I had wanted to.
Why am I bothered? After all, we are only human aren't we? The point that's eating me is that the one thing that makes the difference between good and bad is no more than the split second it takes to decide. We could all go one way or another. In that tiny moment of time, I could easily have become just as big a bully - with my cuffs, my CS spray, my ASP baton and big gang of mates - as him.
What scared me was how easy it would have been to have gone the other way. I can understand how soldiers do very bad things in war and how good people can go bad.
I used to think that the 'thin blue line' was a reference to the small number of Police Officers lined up against a raging hoard, now I think it's a description of the line we have to tread.
My dad always has something useful to say about stuff like this. This time said two things. Firstly he pointed out that bobbies are sometimes given awards for heroic acts - we call them Commendations. I have never had one. My dad said that the really heroic acts aren't those done under extreme circumstances on the spur of the moment, but rather the small but equally as difficult decisions to do the right thing that we make dozens of times a week.
So, I'm a hero in my dad's eyes - I like that.
Then he said that it's not just me who has had to decide things in this incident. That mousey little weak woman also had to decide things: to stay or to go, for example. So, it's not my job to jump on the head of the bastard who beat her...I will go back to finish the job and help her decide to do the right thing.

A Policeman's (or woman's) Lot is Not a Happy One
Crofty was at our house last week and, following the usual kitchen table conversation with my dad and me, insisted I start writing again. But this time he thinks people will be interested in what life is like on a day-to-day basis in the cops - rather than just the witty banter and stuff that occurs in and around the Police Station. So from time to time I'll try and send him something to publish. But I can't promise it will be pretty.
At Christmas it is bad enough dealing with the idiocy that accompanies alcoholic excess; but it's not that that makes the season so horrible to be at work sometimes. It's the other people. The ones who have no one, or think they do. The so-called Festive Season is one of the most common periods for suicide and it is the Police who go along, usually after someone has noticed that someone has not been seen for a while.
The first unpleasant policey thought as you head to such an address is a fervent hope that it is not a smell that has drawn the attention of the person raising the alarm.
Sorry if that put you off your mince pies; but to be honest the practical aspects of death are the easy bits to deal with. Take the weekend just gone. We had to kick in the door of a shared student house in inner city Manchester. All of the students had gone home for the break - or so it was thought. But one hadn't turned up home. So after the usual student worry possibilities have been exhausted: parties, friends, boyfriends etc. Someone phoned the Police.
As we entered the hallway of the large Victorian terraced house we saw her suspended from the banister by a carefully knotted, bright yellow, climbing rope round her neck. She was dressed in a pair of Winnie the Pooh pyjamas, one slipper on, the other on the floor beneath her. Like I said, this is the easy bit.
Dying is a very practical business - concerned with many physical, highly practical features. In our case these are things like preserving a potential crime scene, making sure we don't lose evidence. Things like preserving the knot, checking for forced entry, that sort of thing. Once we've done all that the hard part starts.
You see, dealing with someone's remains is like taking the bins out at home, unpleasant but necessary and unavoidable.
The hard part is starting to unpick what has happened to this poor young woman to make her feel so badly about herself. And it is less usual for women to be violent towards themselves, so she must have had some sort of self loathing or anger.
So we search drawers and personal effects to establish which poor sod is going to have a visit from a cop to deliver the bad news. And here's an interesting aside. It is traditional for British bobbies to wear their hats when doing a formal duty like delivering bad news. It also makes delivering that blow a little easier when someone sees a behatted copper coming up the garden path, so I make a point of trying to announce my presence whenever possible before I get to the door.
This was a tough one, because on her book shelves were things like Simon Armitage poems; The Time Traveller's Wife, The Kite Runner; there were CDs like Seasick Steve, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell's Mingus; and these things said far more than had they been Take That or Sophie Kinsella.
Try as I might, I couldn't shake the feeling that I could have been her friend. That's the tough bit: seeing the person rather than the remains.
Sorry if that is a bit bleak. But that is how it is - at least for me at any rate.
So how do we, as people who have to do this often, deal with it. Well there are the traditional cures like wine (or beer favoured by many of my colleagues, and we do have many beery dos). It also helps having a dad who was in the job and a mum who is nurse - they have been there too.And then sometimes I'll just go for a long hard run to clear my head.
And, I suppose, in a way, this writing it down sort of helps too.
So there you have it - a small insight into the way the cops do some of the tougher things.
Finally. I asked Crofty to put a link at the bottom of this post, just in case you are feeling shit about yourself. I'd hate to make you feel worse.
It doesn't have to be like that - click here for someone to talk to.

The Naked Chief Constable
The death of Chief Constable Michael Todd rocked our force to its foundations, not because we couldn't continue without him - it is the police way to always carry on and get the job done - but because he was just such a charismatic leader. I met him a couple of times and, without boring you, all that has been said about his presence, his enthusiasm and his inspirational style, is true.
The muck raking that has been done around his private life since risked spoiling the memorial service in Manchester Cathedral on Friday as around 1000 bobbies gathered in a stunning ceremonial occasion. Just being there in our best uniforms with police horses in full livery and the rarely seen these days, police pomp made us proud to be part of our Force.
The atmosphere inside was respectful yet staid - strained even, as individually we compared the plaudits from a number of speakers, to the scandal we had read in the papers - it was like The King's New Clothes: he was naked but everyone was too polite to say. Finally Ken Jones, Chief Constable, President of ACPO started the process of acknowledging that being naked doesn't mean that all of those good things you did with your clothes on are suddenly not of value. Carolyn Todd then shared with the silent massed ranks, her own thoughts - they knew he was 'no angel', and they loved him.
If that was the permission to breathe a collective sigh of relief the song 'Somewhere' from West Side Story sung by 16yrs old Catherine Todd shot the cork from the bottle of emotion that had been straining for escape: there was a flourish of white against the black tunics as tissues dabbed eyes.
This was a fitting tribute: one that acknowledged the whole man not just the veneer. A bit like the police really - rarely perfect, always human and working very hard to serve people.
If I occasionally get disillusioned I will remember Friday and remember why I am still proud to be Sarah Police Lady.

Nothing Comes For Free
PC Costos Mutch was left wondering whether the free bus travel available to Police Officers was all it was cracked up to be last week when a fellow passenger considered it decidedly unfair of the bus driver to expect him to have change of a twenty pound note in his pocket at 06.30h in the morning. Remonstrating loudly with the driver - who refused to allow him to travel until such time as change was available - he caused PC Mutch, one of the Force's more mature officers, to weigh the odds of his winning a tussle against the strapping young bricklayer. In the event another passenger provided change for the hapless brickie who sat quietly muttering and cursing to himself.
Leaving the bus at his destination the still sulking tradesman could not resist a parting shot at the driver as he disembarked. The affronted driver stood from his seat and declared to the full bus that he had been threatened and needed the help of the Police Officer sat at the back, at whom he helpfully pointed. All heads turned as Costos left his belongings, drew himself to his full height and marched to the front of the bus.
The bellicose brickie, now even angrier, squared up for a confrontation; Costos feeling vulnerable without his usual police accoutrements, took a conciliatory stance and, using the gravitas that comes naturally with maturity, encouraged the man to leave the bus for a chat.
Barely had the men set foot on the curb when the driver, clearly feeling relieved of his burden and any responsibility for the situation, drove off leaving PC Mutch to deal with the younger angry man alone and with his belongings sailing off into the cool morning light.
After glancing at each other for a couple of moments, neither sure what to make of this unexpected turn, the bricklayer spoke first:
"What are you going to do now then?"
"Buggered if I know, get another bus I suppose" replied PC Mutch sulkily losing interest in any confrontation,
"What a tosser he was" said the brickie; PC Mutch feeling that he ought to retain at least some semblance of authority, replied,
"That's as well be, young man, but you were out of order kicking off like that"
The young man expressed the opinion that he considered Police Officers to be only slightly higher than tosser bus drivers in the great scheme of things but, given that they were both victims of this particular tosser bus driver, was prepared to leave it at that, accept the advice, and part on matey terms.
PC Mutch departed to find another bus and, somehow retrieve his possessions. Boarding the next bus to town, he uttered a paraphrase of those immortal words: follow that bus.
Arriving in town in time to see the original bus disgorging its passengers PC Mutch was alarmed to recognise his swish - and nearly new - shoulder bag slung jauntily over the shoulder of a small Polish plumber. On being challenged the plumber, who bore a striking resemblance to one of the Mario Bros. made great show of returning the bag and seemed mighty relieved to be able to repatriate it to its owner. Accepting the kind plumber's broken English account of his having taken care of the bag following the public transport fracas PC Mutch strode onwards to share a few choice words of advice with the bus driver about how to support a Police Officer when called upon to execute his duty in this manner; this done he harrumphed off to his regular station-bound police duty to reflect on whether free transport was worth it and to wonder about the merit of pedal cycles.
Safe in the office he reached into his bag to put his salad in the office fridge but found it necessary to re-evaluate the motives of the helpful Polish Plumber when he found a Tesco bag containing Polish sausage sandwiches, a peach and an Aero bar. Not one to let sleeping dogs lie he rested the sandwiches on the office radiator all day and then repeated the process at home that evening intending to return the sandwiches to the thieving tradesman the following day; but to this day the plumber has not boarded the bus again - all PC Mutch got was funny looks at the strong unpleasant garlic odour that surrounded him on his bus journey the following day.

Red face after radio confession
After a quiet period for the Weasley twins it appears they are back on form following a recent radio stunt perpetrated by George Weasley. Finding himself on duty one evening with a naïve colleague from a different shift working overtime, Weasley abused the police radio airwaves in an audacious coup that left the unnamed colleague red faced and this correspondent breathless and not a little curious.
The police Airwave radio system allows all officers on one channel, or talkgroup, to hear each other's transmissions – the advantages are obvious; this feature though provided Weasley with another opportunity for mischief. Engaging his innocent colleague in conversation, Weasley skilfully steered the chat to the topic of their colleagues, or more specifically their female colleagues and their various merits. Having given a full and frank assessment of a certain officer's plus points Weasley enticed the unsuspecting officer into carrying out a similar assessment, in ignorance of the fact that shortly prior to the question: "What do you think of Sarah Didsbury?" he had depressed the transmit button on his personal radio ensuring that the whole police division listened with rapt attention to a, frankly, flattering and heart rendingly honest, assessment of the subject officers bodily attributes.
Didsbury is reported to be "intrigued to learn the intentions implied by the Airwave profession of adoration" and is reported to be waiting, in a manner befitting a lady, for further communication.
To add to the intrigue it seems, according to sources close to the Weasley prankster's victim, that he feels Weasley might just have done him a favour, by forcing into the open something he lacked the courage to say in a more conventional manner.
The punch line to this latest prank, however, was delivered by Chief Inspector Julie Warne in whose eyes Weasley's card is well and truly marked. Weasley is reported to have paled when Chief Inspector Warnes Airwave intervention:
"Radio discipline at all times please…" was followed up by searching questions of the evening's duty roster.
(Crofty's Note: The picture is called A Delicate Embarrassment)
Local officer in burger shame
Community Beat Officer Ron McDonald took the long walk of shame to the end of the third floor corridor this week after disgracing himself on television. Summoned to Chief Superintendent John Toblerones's office, McDonald was made to explain how he was to be seen in the background of a news shot, caught by a local TV crew, apparently munching a double cheeseburger when he was meant to be stood guarding the murder scene. Sources whose office is close to that of Toblerone's report hearing expostulations that included the words 'professional', 'helmet' and 'out of my sight'. Sources in the lower corridors of White Horse Road police station report hearing, shortly after the meeting, muttered protestations that included the words '****ing media' from departing McDonald, who was seen to be clutching a piece of paper: reportedly an action plan for future development that is to include a publicity project on his community beat in liaison with the Force's Press and Media Unit.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the date for the coming naval mobilisation and review by His Majesty at Spithead is definitely fixed for 18th July; what is the number and description of each class of vessel which will be assembled there for review; if any provision is contemplated whereby Members of both Houses of Parliament can be present at this review as in former years; if he will place in the Tea Room a chart showing the position of the ships; if he will state if the regulations which yachts, passenger vessels, and other merchant ships will have to obey during the review have yet been issued; and, if not, how soon they will be available?
EVERY Englishman, we imagine, knows that the "Victory" was the ship which bore Lord Nelson's flag, and on board of which he received his death wound in the moment of triumph over the combined fleets of France and Spain, off Cape Trafalgar; but as very few are aware of her numerous and distinguished services, extending over many years, and preceding that sad yet glorious climax, this memoir of her career has been drawn up, with the hope of making her history from her launch to the present time better known; and that the hundreds who yearly visit her may carry away a record of their visit, to remind them of the classic ground they have been treading, and recall to their recollections some of the splendid deeds of the past, which gained for England the proud title of "Mistress of the Seas."
There have been "Victory's" in the English navy ever since the year 1570, and as each successive ship, from old age or misfortune, has disappeared from the list, another has soon after appeared to take her place.The 100 gun first-rate ship preceding the existing "Victory," was, like her, a first-rate three-decker, carrying no guns, and was accounted the finest ship in the service.
In 1744 she was the flagship of Admiral Sir J. Balchen, a venerable officer of 75 years of age, who had been called from the honourable retirement of Greenwich Hospital to command a fleet destined to relieve Sir Charles Hardy, then blockaded in Lisbon by a superior French force, under the Count de Rochambault. On returning from the successful performance of this service, the fleet was dispersed in the chops of the Channel by a tremendous gale, on October 4th. The rest of the ships, though much shattered, gained the anchorage of Spithead in safety, but the "Victory" was never more heard of, though from the evidence of fishermen of the island of Alderney, she was believed to have run on to the Caskets, some dangerous rocks lying off that island, where her gallant crew of about a thousand perished to a man.
Principal Dimensions of the HMS Victory.
In 1765, on the 7th May, was launched from Chatham Dockyard the present "Victory, which had been built from designs of Sir Thomas Slade, then surveyor of the navy. Her principal dimensions are as follows :—
|Length from figure head to taffrail
|Length of keel
|Extreme beam
|Depth of hold
Her armament was in 1778:—
|Lower deck
104 guns.
In 1793 she had four 32-pr. carronades substituted on upper deck, and six 18-pr. carronades added on the poop, making her total number of guns at this time 110. The six last were subsequently removed, as at Trafalgar she had no guns on the poop. In 1803, two 68-pr. carronades were placed on the forecastle, instead of two 32-pr., when the weight of her broadside fired from 52 guns was 1160 pounds. It may here be mentioned, for the sake of comparison, that the weight of the broadside of the Monarch, a modern ironclad, carrying but six guns, (Not including one that only fires aft), is 2515 lbs., or more than twice that of the HMS Victory.

Best up and coming artist in her genre....which is awesome folk? I don't really know. She does a lot of covers, and fun videos. The wife and I found her earlier this year and are addicted to her voice. Here is a sample of her awesomeness!http://youtu.be/HeP1Klmk0ng
It is good to see young artists going back to folk. In my shop, I keep WFIT from Florida Institute of Technology on. No commercials and no format. The young DJs play everything you can think of. It streams on the web. http://www.streamingthe.net/WFIT-89.5-F … ida/p/8603One of my favorite shows is on Sunday, "New Grass and More". I like most of the new "Indy". This generation has gone back to where music got frozen by disco and elaborate on themes from styles that have arisen since then. I am looking forward to the day they revive big band. I have worn my "Tower of Power" collection out.
Are you into Alexi Murdoch and Mumford and Sons, such like this? Great bands.
Brilliant! As a ukulele tragic and REM fan, I love her cover of It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).Has she got any albums out?
Oh yeah, Youtube made this girl. She has one album out that I know of and you can buy all her stuff though Itunes I believe. She did a show with Ben Folds not to long ago.

China likely to build on reef near Philippines: Minister
Delfin Lorenzana said he believed China would eventually reclaim Scarborough Shoal, just 230 kilometres from the main Philippine island of Luzon.
MANILA: Manila expects China to try to build on a reef off the coast of the Philippines, the country's defence secretary said on Tuesday (Feb 7), adding this would be "unacceptable" in the flashpoint waterway.
In an interview with AFP, Delfin Lorenzana said he believed China would eventually reclaim Scarborough Shoal, just 230 kilometres from the main Philippine island of Luzon.
Beijing has already built up a number of islets and reefs in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, installing military facilities on several of them.
Analysts say similar installations on nearby Scarborough Shoal could give China effective military control over the disputed Sea - something the US has said it is not prepared to accept.
"They encroached," Lorenzana said of a 2012 confrontation that saw Philippine vessels displaced from the shoal. "They occupied three islands there (in the Spratlys) plus they are trying to get Scarborough. So to us that is unacceptable".
"If we allow them, they will build. That's very, very disturbing. Very much (more) disturbing than Fiery Cross because this is so close to us," Lorenzana added, referring to one of the Philippine-claimed reefs China has built on.
Because of its position, another military outpost at Scarborough Shoal is seen as the last major physical step required to secure control of the sea.
An outpost there would also put Chinese fighter jets and missiles within easy striking distance of US forces stationed in the Philippines.
The shoal also commands the northeast exit of the sea, so a Chinese military outpost there could stop other countries' navies from using the waterway.
A UN-backed tribunal - in a case brought by Manila under then-president Benigno Aquino - ruled last year that the so-called "nine-dash-line" which underpins Beijing's claim to most of the South China Sea had no legal basis.
But his successor Rodrigo Duterte has courted China and backed away from his country's close relationship with the United States.
Lorenzana said the Chinese island reclamation was intended to secure control of the South China Sea.
"That could be their strategy to counter any superpower that would encroach on South China Sea because they believe South China Sea is - that's like their lake to them - theirs," he added.
The administration of new US President Donald Trump has indicated it will push back against any Chinese attempt to bolster control of the sea.
During confirmation hearings, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the US would block Chinese access to reclaimed islands, although analysts have pointed out that this would require a military blockade - an act of war.
Lorenzana called Tillerson's remark "very troubling", adding the Philippines would become the battleground if conflict broke out between the two superpowers.
He added that China tried to build on Scarborough last year but American warnings stopped them.
"The Americans, that's their red line. Red line meaning you can't do that there, so they (China) did not do it."
"If we had a strong military presence (in the South China Sea), we can stop them (China) but we don't. I am still hoping in the future some reasonable guy there in Beijing will come to see the light that this is ours."
"That is shooting for the moon but who knows?" Lorenzana added.
He said the Philippines would soon repair a runway on Thitu island, one of its garrisoned features in the Spratlys which he planned to visit, and put up "additional barracks for the marines there".
The defence chief said Manila would try to "manage" the maritime dispute while working with Beijing in other areas like patrolling piracy-plagued southern Philippine waters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by hbjohnsn from LOVE I have extremely sensitive skin so I am always very selective when it comes to the products I put on my face. I found myself out of my nighttime lotion and remembered I had this Night Shift in my drawer. After trying it for several nights, I was completely blown away by how well it worked! Not only does it smell absolutely incredible, it doesn't break me out AT ALL and leaves my skin feeling supple and smooth the following morning. This product in conjunction with the Rose Oil has made a huge difference in my skin. I'm hooked!

Agriculture Law involves farmers, landowners, and others in regards to crop-growing, farming processes, dairy production, livestock, farmland use, government subsidization of farming, and seasonal and migrant farm workers. There are numerous federal statutes that subsidize, regulate or otherwise directly affect agricultural activity. Some focusing on protecting migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, some for financial assistance to farmers and others for the construction or improvement of farm housing and other agriculturally related purposes.
Hakalau is a small unincorporated community located along the Hamakua coast about 15 miles (24 km) north of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It was once a thriving, multiethnic sugar plantation town up until the early 1960s at which time the plantation originally called Hakalau Plantation Co. began to be phased-out. Small family farms now exist growing tropical fruits, taro, flowers, coffee, or cattle. Some historical sites remain from the plantation era. The privately owned sugar plantation managers home built in the early 1900s still exists today, along with two warehouses built in 1920 and an old theater, presently operating as the Hakalau U.S. Post Office. Located just below the ocean cliff where the Hakalau stream meets the bay, the old sugar mill ruins are still visible. During the 1800s the Hakalau Bay was used to transfer goods and passengers from smaller boats to larger ships. Today, the bay has been used mostly by local surfers and fisherman. Hakalau now has a small, day use, state owned park with picnic tables and ocean access for recreational use, located at the bottom of the Hakalau gulch.

Review: Why Maison Mathis Should Be Your New Hangout Spot
We had the chance to try out their delicious dishes, and we highly recommend you visit
10 January 2017
Image Credit: Maison Mathis
I have to be honest; Maison Mathis has always been a go-to favourite of mine since moving to Dubai back in 2014. The Belgian restaurant's unique decor, superb location and tasty dishes has ensured it's stayed solidly in my 'must-try in Dubai' list, and I've enjoyed taking visitors there ever since.
So now we've clarified why I love the place, now I need to convince you on why you need to join me in the 'We <3 MM' fan club.
Simply put... The food is delightful. That's my first main point. Offering everything from classic breakfast dishes, to steaming pots of mussels, to international offerings that includes steak, pizzas, burgers and risotto... There's something on the menu to suit all taste buds.
During our visit, my husband and I were recommended a few dishes that the chef wanted us to try in particular, which included the Maison Mathis chefs salad, and the lobster linguine for two. Alongside these, we also opted for the Belgian cheese croquettes and the house cured beetroot salmon from the starters on the menu.
Image Credit: EWfood
We were warmly greeted by the members of staff, namely Radoslaw Slusarczyk, the Assistant General Manager, and our waiter for the evening who went by the name Muzzi. Quite comfortable at our table inside the main restaurant area, we began with still water and bread to satisfy our pangs of hunger we were both experiencing after not eating since midday.
Now I think at this stage, it's important to point out that the newest menu in place at the establishment has been created by none other than Head Chef Bart Thoelen, a Michelin star chef whose culinary knowledge expands over two decades. Of course, we knew we were going to be in for a treat with what we'd selected.
Image Credit: EWfood
Here's where the fun part starts. You see, after devouring the two starters we ordered - with a special shout out to the croquettes, which we were informed can vary depending on the cheeses the chef decides to experiment with, in our case they were filled with melted parmesan and emmental - out came the MM chefs salad, and then the lobster linguine.
Embarrassingly, I'd given Radoslaw a heads up when we first completed our order... My husband and I were lacking experience when it comes to eating lobster.
Image Credit: EWfood
Not to worry however, as he let the kitchen know and our lobster linguine came already prepared, with the meat made easy to get to. Now don't get me wrong, I was ready to crack some lobster (after frantically YouTubing videos while sat there), but alas, my new found confidence was not needed. Thankfully. The entire meal - from the sweet mix of the beetroot with the salmon, to the extra-cheesey croquettes, to the amazing collaboration of avocados, egg, roast potatoes, bacon (P), goates cheese and bread all in one bowl in the chefs salad - all were delightful to consume.
And the lobster? Superb! It was my first ever attempt at trying lobster, and after enjoying the mixed flavours of tarragon, tomatoes and linguine pasta mixed with the perfectly cooked Canadian east coast lobster, I can safely say I'm a huge fan now.
Of course, we most definitely appreciated the extra help backstage preparing the dish, as we were able to fully enjoy the meal without the risk of embarrassing ourselves to neighbouring diners. Which by the way, might I point out, was many. There was plenty of people relaxing in the evening, enjoying food with friends, their partners and catching up over a drink, too.
Image Credit: EWfood
Now this is my second point, not only is MM a restaurant, but there's also an outdoor bar and terrace that makes full use of the cooler Dubai temperatures, an allocated and private VIP area that would be perfect for a large party, and not forgetting their patisserie filled with deliciously satisfying desserts and treats to eat in-house or takeaway.
Ah, dessert. Lets not forget the desserts. Again, we devoured two dishes recommended by the kitchen; a rhubarb crumble, and chocolate mousse. My husband favoured the crumble, whereas I practically inhaled the chocolate mousse, which was completely melt-in-your-mouth, sent from heaven above, perfection on a plate! I promise. It's a must try dessert.
Image Credit: EWfood
How much would a visit to Maison Mathis cost you?
On average for two people, with a starter, main course and drink each, it would roughly be between Dhs 300 and 400. Which I feel, is extremely reasonable considering the location, the high-class menu and the unique detailing inside.
What else would you recommend on the menu?
If seafood isn't your calling, opt for one of the MM buns, that are each served with thick cut fries. The dishes included burgers, pulled beef sandwiches, gourmet hot dogs. Otherwise, their pasta and main menu options have something that will surely satisfy your tastebuds.
Not forgetting, as it is a Belgian restaurant, to pair your meal with one of their thirst-quenching Belgian beers on offer behind the bar.

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.
This week is auto-buy authors. I don't really buy so much anymore. I borrow from the library a ton. I only buy for those I know my library doesn't usually carry. So this is my auto-read author list. As soon as they come out with something and it is available to me I will read it. Some of these I am still working on their older books too. FYI a lot of overlap from last week!!

Today is the birthday of Michelangelo Buonarotti, born here in the village of Caprese Michelangelo in 1475. So famous was he, that the village officially added his to their name in the early twentieth century. In his honour, I am publishing a reproduction of the Doni Tondo, a depiction of the Holy Family currently in the Uffizi Gallery, in Florence. In the background, you can see a view of what looks like Monte Penna a few kilometres from here, as seen from Caprese. Perhaps Michelangelo included it as a memory of where he lived when he was the same age as the baby in the painting. Anyway, Happy 540th Birthday, Michelangelo.
Buon Compleanno Maestro: Happy Birthday Michelangelo!

Looks very nice I like.

This is at very good product and very protective for the car specifically here in florida love bugs and other type of insects.
Looks good, but the jury is still out
Reviewed by Jeff M (LAS VEGAS, NV) Reviewed for a 2013 Chevy Traverse — May 20, 2016 7:42 AM
The installation went as described,with the exception of this model of vehicle (and LeBra) didn't allow for hooking onto the screws/rivets on the underside of the wheel well. It simply snaps on the front edge. It has already come loose from the wheel well twice during highway driving. Best advice on the instructions is to lay out the LeBra to let it warm & stretch in the sun before starting. Where the clips attach to the material, it immediately showed signs of stress, after installation.
Great cover
Reviewed by Denise C (CLINTON, LA) Reviewed for a 2016 Chevy Traverse — Apr 28, 2016 9:25 AM
This is my 3rd LeBra Car Bra and I would recommend this to anyone who wants protection from dings, love bug and june bug mess. The value is the best you will find and trust me, I've shopped around before my very first purchase.

Well first allow me to say that it was very pleasing to find a company that sells everything good @ reasonable prices that I was looking for in my vehicle. The Labra was a perfect fit very easy to install and once I got it on it really enhanced the vehicles appearance and I took it for a long drive out of the state and it protected and did exactly what it was built to do because I had a ton of insects that, would have been on my grill instead of on the Labra...GREAT PRODUCT AND EASY TO CLEAN...
LaBra does not fit perfect
Reviewed by Randy J (Bothell, WA) Reviewed for a 2014 Chevy Traverse — Sep 20, 2014 9:49 PM
The LaBra does not clip in properly on the upper fender clip. The is due to the fender wall being thicker then the clip cap.all other clips and attached points work fine. Just the upper top fender clip on both alright and left side have a design issue.
2014 Chev. Traversa Le Bra Fit
Reviewed by Earl C (PUNTA GORDA, FL) Reviewed for a 2014 Chevy Traverse — Apr 08, 2014 7:30 AM
Installed on a 75 deg. temp day, I let the sun warm the Bra so it easily stretch to a custom fit. After letting it sit facing the sun for a hour I readjusted all the straps for a tight flat fit. If the bra stretches a little more within the next few days I will readjust the 2 straps accordingly. The clips are a perfect fit for lower valance and fender well. So far it is truly a custom fit, like a doe skin glove.

Get info about Chaminade University dental hygienist program, and registering for discussion sections. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand rapidly. Concentrating on Chaminade University dental hygienist program, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the dentistry department for course registration deadlines, and dental hygiene program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Chaminade University.
In dentistry, there are three fast-growing employment fields. Dental assistants perform many tasks, ranging from providing patient care, to record-keeping and scheduling appointments. Dental lab technicians construct, or repair, dentures and prosthetics. Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and apply sealants and fluorides to help protect teeth. They must also learn to take and develop dental x-rays. The median annual wage for dental hygienists was $52,330 in 2017, while dental assistants average $37,500 per year. Employment of dental assistants and hygienists is projected to grow 19% in the coming decade.
Dental hygienists need an associates degree in dental hygiene. The programs typically take 3 years to complete, and offer laboratory, clinical, and classes in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, radiography, pathology, and periodontics. All states require dental hygienists to be licensed, although requirements vary by state. The Commission on Dental Accreditation, part of the American Dental Association, has accredited more than 300 dental hygiene programs. Beyond major requirements within the dentistry department, you may consider SUNY Rockland Community College clinical pharmacology as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Charge cards are a thorn in people's sides, and they have been since their inception. Like a lot of things, charge cards could be hard to manage if you do not have the right advice or knowledge. Featured below is a collection of tips that will increase your knowledge of charge cards.
Immediately report any fraudulent charges on a credit card. By doing this, you can help your credit card company catch the thief who is making these unauthorized charges. Additionally, you will avoid being responsible for the charges themselves. All it takes is a quick email or phone call to notify the issuer of your credit card and keep yourself protected.
It is very easy to mishandle credit card usage. Debt is not always avoidable, but many people overcharge, which results in payments that they cannot afford. To handle charge cards, correctly pay off your balance each month. That way you are using credit, keeping a low balance, and improving your credit score all at the same time.
If it is possible, you should pay off your balances in full every month. Try to use your credit as a convenience instead of a way to make ends meet. Avoid finance charges by paying the balance in full and improve your credit rating at the same time.
Charge cards frequently are linked with various types of loyalty accounts. Look for these highly beneficial loyalty programs that may apply to any credit card you use on a regular basis. Used wisely, they can even provide an extra source of income.
Credit Card
When doing an online transaction with your credit card, save a copy of the transaction receipt. Do not throw that receipt out until you have your credit card statement in hand. That way you can compare the two and make sure charges are correct. If an error has occurred, lodge a dispute with the seller and your credit card provider immediately. Having the receipt on hand will make any disputes much easier to resolve.
Never leave blank spots when you sign retail store receipts. If your receipt includes a space for indicating a tip, it's a good idea for you to zero it out or line through it so that an unauthorized amount does not appear on your final bill. Always verify the fact that your purchases agree with what you statement says.
Avoid the urge to lend a credit card to someone. It could be your close friend, but it's still a bad idea to give it to someone. It may lead to large fees if your friend spends more than you authorized.
Maintain a contact list that includes issuer telephone information and account numbers. Place it in a secure place, like a deposit box, away from your other charge cards. The list will assist you in promptly notifying card lenders should you lose your cards or have them stolen.
Interest Rate
Don't believe your card interest rate is non-negotiable. The industry that runs charge cards are competing all the time, so they always have various interest rates. Call your bank if you don't like your current interest rate. Ask the bank to change your rate.
Some have the mistaken idea that having no bank cards is the best thing they can do for their credit. Maintaining the use of one or more credit cards responsibly is the only way to build your credit. When you use it, pay for it! If you have no credit at all, your credit score remains low. This will impact you in the future.
Credit History
Do not open and close credit cards frequently. Don't switch to another credit card account unless you really have to. The longer your positive credit history is with a creditor, the better your credit score. Keeping accounts open whenever possible is one element of building a good credit history.
Make sure that you are aware of all the recent credit card law changes. Creditors are not allowed to raise rates retroactively. They are also not allowed to engage in double-cycle billing. Educate yourself about credit card laws. Two legislative changes have occurred that need to be noted, including the CARD Act.
If you've got a secured card, often the company will offer you an unsecured credit card once you've proven your credit is in good standing. You may also find that you start receiving mail offers for credit cards. This is when you are going to have to go into decision-making mode, yet again, when re-evaluating your situation.
You should try to stay away from cards that have annual fees. Usually, those with higher credit scores do not have to get cards with annual fees. Annual fees can negate any advantages the card has. Check the math. Annual fees are usually found finely written into the terms and conditions of the credit card, not in the promotional materials. Get your reading glasses out! Find out if those fees negate the promoted benefits. In many cases, the fees will not make any benefits worth your while.
Be sure that your child is responsible before you let them get credit cards. It is hard to say "No", but your child may not be ready for the responsibility quite yet. Waiting a little longer allows time to learn manage spending better and will lead to later financial success.
As it said earlier in the article, it is hard for many people to handle having a credit card, and they may become frustrated. However, with the right tips and advice, dealing with them could be easier than what you've expected. Implement the tips in this article and deal with your bank cards effectively.

Hi Chris, I just wanted to thank you for bringing your talents to our place for Chloe's birthday. She had the best time and all the little one's kept talking about Fairy Floss and how lovely she was. The face painting was just beautiful and your interaction with the kids was just delightful. I won't hesitate to recommend you to everyone we know who is looking for fabulous party entertainment. Thank you again!
We recently booked Keystars for our little boys party and were really pleased with the face painting that was done. All the kids loved it and my son didn't want to wash his face after.
My little one had a party for her 4th birthday recently and I organised for Fairy Floss to come and entertain and face paint. The children were awestruck I think and just loved Fairy Floss. She was delightful with the children and the quality of face painting was really good. The special little touches with the fairy presents were very thoughtful and everyone went home feeling on top of the world. Thank you.
