From the instant L saw his new Henry Sit n Ride in the box he was excited. A little red ride on toy with a loveable Henry Hoover face.
I had to build it straight away. I am amazed that he recognised it as a vacuum cleaner. We don't own a Henry, to the best of my knowledge no one he knows does. There's no hose or cleaning attachments. Just Henry's nose, which would be where the hose attached. Yet straight away he wanted to help me clean.

Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank fighting in their 50s wouldn't be fun - it would be depressing
There is a man called Bronco Billy Wright selling luxury cars in Las Vegas, fighting on occasional weekends and at 51 still believing he will get the call to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. The fight business loves a dreamer, even a hefty old one.
Wright, you see, has a world ranking because every few months he defends something called the WBC FECARBOX heavyweight title, which places his considerable bulk in the WBC's top 20 and makes him eligible for fantasy, selection and potential slaughter as an opponent for the champion. Wright has knocked out 11 of his last 12 opponents in the first round and has not lost since 1998.
One of his recent first round victims was Harry Funmaker, a 20st American fighting in New Zealand who was nearly 50 when he met Wright for the interim PABA heavyweight title, which is traditionally the domain of the finest Fijian and Samoan big boys. On that night in Auckland the pair tested the ring engineers with a combined weight of 582lbs, just shy of 42st and they fought just shy of a second per stone with the fat carnival finishing after 41 seconds. I think their combined age of 95 years and 10 months and joint weight must be some type of mad unwanted record for a sanctioned fight; Wright was ranked No 17 by the WBC at the time. Sadly, the Funmaker has quit the business.
"I have old man strength," Wright told me last year and he does. Last week, I wrote about a man called Two Ton Tony Galento, an impossible dreamer and boozer and he had that same fat, old-man power, which a lot of heavyweights in history seem to retain as their hair falls out, their waists fall over the beltline and their timing vanishes. "I'm ready now, right now for a world title fight," added Wright, who has lost four times and three of those defeats were against world heavyweight champions. He is a freak, a joke to some but his statistics are real.
I mention Wright only as a juicy appetiser to the ongoing negotiations that exist for a third fight between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank. This is really not funny because old men – Benn is 52 and Eubank 49 – in the lower weights do not age well in ring years and I have terrible memories of middleweights, welterweights and lightweights trying to find something noble in lost cause after lost cause. They might look in better shape, fight fast in gym videos but in the ring they fade quicker than the fat guys in the heavyweight division. The old and light fighters mistakenly believe that definition, a six-pack and a pad routine that sings replaces the lost years.
Benn and Eubank, a beautifully matched pair of diverse rogues, first met at the NEC in Birmingham in 1990 in one of the most memorable and hostile fights I have ever sat ringside for. Benn had not prepared and was stopped in round nine of a pitiless brawl that launched the finest decade ever in British boxing. They had a rematch in front of 42,000 at Old Trafford in 1993 and this time the three judges took the easy way out and returned a bitter drawn verdict. Their hate continued long after the lights dimmed at the Theatre of Dreams and to this day it has not changed, trust me.
Benn has been wayward in his life, turned to preaching and now has a forum for his beliefs in a place called Darktown near Sydney. He is pushing for the third fight, claiming Eubank has gone back on a deal and putting deadlines on the skirmish before he walks away permanently. His hate is stronger, there is no doubt about that and the all-enveloping hostility could still lead directly to a fight.
Benn has not fought since a trio of hurtful defeats in 1996 and Eubank finally quit in 1998 after his own unfortunate hat-trick of losses. They have swapped their aggression for an infinite variety of pursuits since their fighting days but the insults, the remaining egos and their equal refusal to relax in each other's company has moved the fight closer than it has been in twenty long years.
I suspect that there is a very grave chance that they will fight in some type of sideshow that will no doubt prove both watchable, lucrative and ghoulish enough to outrage the outraged. They are dads with terrible attitudes, each capable of enough cynical manoeuvres to brazenly ignore the growing storm of criticism when the final duel is announced. I hate it and love it, which is a bit like boxing really. See you ringside at the madness.

It's not always easy choosing the intuitive life.
Being self-aware means listening to yourself on deep, soul-habituating level as often as possible.
Often it means putting logic and the ideas of what others might think of you aside.
It can be uncomfortable, aching, heart clenching and literally - painful.
I had one of those moments today. The last time I had one that LARGE was a little over a year ago when Owning Pink and I went our separate ways.
I had a moment where very intense emotions of panic and sadness came over me. Then I heard a voice saying "this is what needs to happen." Shortly after that I got an email telling me my time there was done.
It was painful and scary. But my departure was loving and filled with gratitude.
Shortly after that was when I started making money for myself through my coaching and online courses. That voice was right. It was what needed to happen to push me into my light.
I'm not quite ready to reveal what my moment was about today. There are still some lose ends being tied up.
But I know that I was really, completely honest with myself and the other parties involved.
It was scary and kind of painful. But I have complete faith that I'm dancing in the right direction for this moment.
One of my greatest gifts is Listening Intuitively. I help each one of my clients connect with their inner voice to bring about peace and strength in their lives. If you'd like to be one of those ladies, check out my Soul Sessions. It'll rock your world.
What People Are Saying...
"That is what I mean about me not thinking about you as a coach. You transcend that description to me because you are more like spiritual guide you have this kind and gentle way of telling people exactly what they need to do and lighting a fire inside of them."

I have had to answer one of the toughest questions I've faced in a long time. I was asked this question by OkCupid.
The question was, "If you could take only one of the following on a road trip, which would it be?"
I used to be quite a regular road-tripper. Saturdays and Sundays, and if I could swing it, other days, were for riding out and finding a temple or town I could discover the history of. And later I had to road-trip for education, for work. So it wasn't the question as much as the choices, that made it hard to answer. You see, the choices were, a map; a camera; a companion; a journal to write in.
Which one would I, should I, could I choose? What will my choice tell of me? Why are those, particularly just those, the choices? And then there were the unasked, but implied questions within the question. How long a road trip? Do I know where I begin and where I end? How am I travelling? Where, in terms of country or region, am I travelling?
But those apart, the choices gave me pause.
Let's take the map.
What kind of maps? Road maps, with distances to, from marked, petrol pumps clearly signposted, hotels advertised? Simple hand drawn directions? Electronic, with GPS and big brother showing you your place in the world? Paper affairs that never fold back the way they were?
I love the idea of a map. I love that human beings have been able to transverse distances, compress and flatten the landscape on to a sheet of paper or cloth and make it be able to tell others what goes where. Maps are at once history and geography; historical and geographical. They are picture stories. Maps are instructions to follow or to discard, depending on how you want to look at them.
So I love maps. But what's a road trip worth if you are merely following lines other people have drawn? My best road trips are ones where I thought I was going somewhere, but ended up going to a completely different place, and a completely different era, and the decision to do that was organic and not inspired by any map.
Maps are, for me, what you consult after a road trip, to see where you've been and how you've been to wherever you've just been to. So no. I wasn't going to take a map with me on a road trip.
The next choice I contemplated was that of taking along a companion. Who will I take? Why did I choose that person? What do I want from that person, on that trip? And what will happen to our relationship – friendship – after the road trip? Will it be stronger? Weaker? Carry on as before? What purpose, then, the road trip?
I am also sufficiently comfortable with silence.
A road trip for me is about facing my internal dialogue. Confront my fears, insecurities, doubts, and face the silence. The sound of the engine, the white noise of the air rushing past, helps me quieten some of the aforesaid f., i., and doubts. Would someone near me help or hinder the silence? Will I be comfortable with their silence? Will they be okay with my speech?
So no. I wasn't going to take along someone if I could avoid it.
The journal, then? Will this be a new journal, specific to that trip? Or a continuation of one I've been writing? Have I been writing a journal? If not, why start now? For a writer, a journal makes absolute sense, but what can I write that's not already said, and said better by others? Will I publish what I've written? To what end, if not, did I write those things? How specific or narrative will be what I do write? Or will they merely be notes?
Ultimately, given that as a writer I am a bit narcissistic, a journal that I may not publish and may not be clever or insightful enough if I do publish, does not appeal to me. So no, I will not take a journal with me.
So that leaves the choice of a camera.
We live in a world that is overly visual. We are saturated by images – of the beautiful and pedantic, of the immediate and the lasting. We see images that shock us, jade us, move us, and push us into uncaring, indifferent empathy.
One reason I stopped taking photos, going on photowalks, or even meeting other photographers, is that there is now such a glut of the everyday photo it fills me with dread, fills me with fear of mediocrity and boredom.
And then there are those travellers who are image makers. They tell of such beautiful places with their camera, as do others of their tribe. So many photos, so many images, they become wall paper. They become just the absolute whitest of noise in the background of our civilisation.
Could I take a photo that stands out? Could I be the punctum in all this studium?
I don't think I could, but at least I can try. If nothing, for the sheer imperfection of, inferiority of my images and my skill in making these images. And more importantly, I do not attach any deep significance or property to the images I make. I am okay about taking photos, and okay when I don't.
So yes, I will carry a camera along. Nothing might come out of it, but I am comfortable with that eventuality.

The miserable and penniless people have existed in North America continent from the century of the earliest colonial village of Great Britain. Those colonists called by different names< and not always pleasant ones, including waste people or lazy lubbers. Sometimes they called offals and crackers. And the most intimidating name of all was rubbish.
Time goes on. By the middle of the 19th century, the oppressed people became the clay eaters. Another name for them was the sandhillers. The skin of their children was yellow, they dressed in rubbish. Those apathetic children became young adults very fast, so they can go to work as their parents.
In her book, Nancy Isenberg overturns postulate that the USA has a class-free society. She said that there was no social mobility in the USA, and it is absent even today. Moreover, "lazy lubbers" were the main force to the formation of the Republican Party. Even in a time of the Civil War people killed each other not only by slavery reason. It was the war of classes too. The Civil War was over long ago, but class problems remain.
Nancy Isenberg did a magnificent job. Her White Trash book tells the real US history. There was now time in America filled with freedom and everyone's equality. So, try to read the 400-year of the untold history of class in America.

Ratings for Dr. Kim M. Pogonowski
Dr Kim has been able to help me, along with the rest of the staff in her office. She is an amazing clinician and truly cares for her patients.
Dr. Kim is the best Chiropractor I've ever been to. She has nursed me back to health after 2 bad car accidents! She's amazing!
Dr Kim and her staff are excellent! She is caring and kind. Cannot recommend her highly enough!
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Kim thoroughly reviewed my history and spent a lot of time with me before starting manipulations. Throughout the procedure she explained what she was doing and why she was doing it. Very personable while maintaining her professionalism. I would highly recommend her.
Dr.Kim is the best. She always knows the source of my pain, listens to my descriptions, and is able to make things right. Where others would prescrive pills or even surgery, she has helped me take control and manage it properly. I am glad to have found her, and highly recommend her. Thanks for all you do Dr. Kim.
Dr. Kim is the BEST! I have been receiving chiropractic care for 20 years, and recently moved to the area. I tried 2 other Doctors , and was not happy with the care I received. Dr. Kim is professional, caring, and most of all great at what she does.
Dr. Kim is wonderful...highly recommended. Great bedside manner, really listens and really cares.
I have used Chiropractic care for over 40 years in NY, PA, CA and here in Florida. Dr. Kim is one of the best Chiropractors I have been to. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Kim is the best! She's thorough, knowledgeable, and best of all, SHE LISTENS!! Some docs just want to rush you through and move on to the next patient, not really listening to what's going on with you. Dr. Kim takes the time to actually listen to what you have to say and genuinely cares about your issues. She doesn't try to push unnecessary treatments either, which is a nice change. She's awesome, I can't recommend her enough.

Cyclist Pushed Over in East Riding Road Rage Incident
7:43pm 16th April 2013
A cyclist was allegedly assaulted by a motorist on a busy road in the East Riding.
The incident happened at 9.50am on Wednesday 3rd April on Warter Road, a single track road in Middleton-on-the-Wolds near Driffield.
The victim, a 49-year-old North Cave man, was cycling along the road with a friend when a queue of traffic began to form behind them due to a nearby road closure and increased traffic volume in the area.
It is alleged that the driver of a blue Vauxhall Vivaro van shouted at the cyclist who responded by shrugging his shoulders in an exaggerated fashion. At this point the van driver is said to have got out of his vehicle and ran at the cyclist, shouting and swearing and then used both hands to push the cyclist backwards onto the grass verge.
The cyclist wasn't hurt.
It is believed other motorists may have seen what happened and they are asked to contact Humberside Police on the non emergency number 101 referring to log 302 of 03 April 2013 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Finding my personal style has actually started with storting out my closet and only keeping what made me happy and usually my clothes are a mix of organic clothes bought on sale, hand me downs from my mother and finds from the free box in the Ashram I stayed at. Inspiration I get from people I pass on the street and images I see from indigenous people from different cultures. I am really drawn to fabrics and the mood I am in. I try to wear clothes based on my mood that means if I am a bit tired or sad I'll wear something bright and uplifting. I choose this outfit to represent me, because I was so happy in the moment dancing in the rain – that is it.

Deja flower basket pin dating from between 1939 and 1941. Jewelry marked Deja is very rare as the time period pieces were marked with this signature was only two years. The Deja costume jewelry company was founded in 1939 by Soloman Finkelstein who created and was well known for enameled floral pieces such as this one. In 1941 Deja was forced to change it's name after a lawsuit from another costume jewelry company known as DuJay. After this happened Deja changed it's name to Reja which is a more well known company in the costume jewelry world. Nevertheless pieces marked Deja are highly collectible and this one is no exception. It is composed of a gold tone metal base which forms this yellow flower basket holding beautiful blue and white flowers. The basket is covered in yellow enamel with four white rhinestones at the base and the flowers have a light blue and white enamel over them. The leaves are covered in a green enamel and each flower bulb is centered by a bezel set white rhinestone. The back has a pin and locking "C" clasp closure as well as the "Deja" hallmark on the back of the flower basket. This brooch measures 1 1/4" long by 1 1/8" in width. The leaves have a small amount of enamel wear but this is normal for it's age and other than that the brooch is in great condition.

DUTCH champion Leon van Bon won yesterday's 124-mile sixth stage of the Tour de France from Vitré to Tours, leading home a breakaway of 12 riders as the race took a surprising turn and found a new overall leader.
Italian Alberto Elli, a veteran of 11 Tours, was a surprised rider as he crossed the line in sixth place, and his reward for being part of an attack which finished over seven minutes ahead was his first leader's yellow jersey.
The audacious move started seven miles after leaving Vitré in Brittany and four hours later the same 12 riders sprinted it out for the £5,000 prize, knowing that Elli was best placed to become the third leader of the race.
Elli said: "This is very strange racing. I can't understand why the ONCE team [of former leader Laurent Jalabert] didn't chase. Now I will have to talk with my team and see if they will defend for me. I'd like to think so."
The Italian, who finished 17th in last year's race, may find that his German Telekom team will decide not to defend for him, as Jalabert's team demonstrated yesterday. The long-term aim is to help Elli's captain, Jan Ullrich, win his second Tour and a short-term leader might cause them to use too much energy.
His ascension from 21st overall and 2min 15sec behind into the lead was not in the game plan of his German Telekom squad.
Overnight leader Jalabert had declared early in the day that his ONCE team would not chase every attack. His words proved correct as he called his team away from the front after two hours of racing, forcing other teams to take up the pace as the leaders sped away to a gap of more than 12 minutes.
He explained: "We expected a little bit of help from other teams but there was none. Under the circumstances, we decided to stop chasing. We preserved our chances for overall victory without having to control the race any more."
Jalabert claimed the breakaway was launched when he stopped to answer the call of nature. "It's not very fair play to attack in these conditions," he said.
Van Bon, whose only other win this year has been the Dutch championship 10 days ago, completed his second stage win in a Tour, the last being in Pau in 1998.
But it was a day of disappointment, too, when a crash with about 50 miles to go left Australian Stuart O'Grady as a non-starter this morning on the road to Limoges.
O'Grady was among a group of fallers which included Jan Kirsipuu, the only leader last year apart from winner Lance Armstrong, and both finished just inside the time limit in a group of 10 riders. O'Grady managed to complete the course, despite a broken collarbone, with his right arm draped uselessly over the handlebars.
His Swedish team-mate, Magnus Magnusson, said the crash had been caused after riders braked thinking there had already been a crash when, in fact, it was a band playing drums by the roadside.

I read the passage in context, and both in the NIV and NAS:
8 For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I proclaim violence and destruction,
Because for me the word of the LORD has resulted
In reproach and derision all day long.
9 But if I say, "I will not remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,"
Then in my heart it [the word NIV] becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And I cannot endure it.
I would say a prophet cannot hold in the word of the LORD. God calls them to proclaim it and it can (more often than not) bring laughter and mocking (vs. 7), reproach and derision (vs. 8). Therefore, Jeremiah wished he could actually not speak anymore in His name; however that fire of God (the Word, the Holy Spirit) within him won't let him stay silent. This is an example of the war between flesh and Spirit.

Yes, "war between flesh & Spirit!"
We (man) are human & sometimes question GOD (who me?) but that "nagging" urge continues until u MUST satisfy by proclaiming "The Gospel of Christ!"
Oh, what a joy it is when u obey! He gives WORDS to say
I think you mean Jer 20:9 right? I'm no scholar but it seems to suggest an element of pain. In the context of the verse, it's more like an tremendous ache that can only be satisfied by doing what God commands him (Jeremiah) to do. Think about it, if you've ever come close to a flame it's painful, right? Now try to think of that pain deep inside of you (which is where your bones are) - it's not something you can get away from. You'll essentially have to rip yourself apart to get it out and get relief.

I remember what it was like the first time God gave me an interpretation for a group. I fought it and said, "NO!" (shy, just didn't want to)...but, it was over-powering, an inward, building pressure, strong, and so I did give the message.
It means, paraphrased," Danggit, Lord, this message and the people's response aint no fun!! Yeah, I know, it's Your current message, so I'll send it forth and let the fireballs fall where they may...'cause I'm 'on fire for You!'"
This is the situation for many Christians, not just prophets. I often tell folks that "sharing the gospel (John 3:16-18) is designed by God to HARDEN hearts, not just BREAK them for regeneration. The Grace part is it's HIS call which way it goes. As Stonewall Jackson used to say, "Duty is ours. Consequences are God's."

"designed by God to HARDEN hearts,"
I Agree!
MOST on HP have said I am too HARD w/TRUTH fm WORD but as u said Stonewall Jackson said "Duty is ours. Consequences are God's."
From, WATERSTAR, this is a Wise question, People are alike of all Color and Creed in Almost every Civilization And Centries, We All Have a tendancy Not To Liscen To the Good But Publish The Bad and Accept The Bad as it is written In The Gospel of ST.JOHN, LIGHT WHICH IS VERY GOOD Have COME INTO THIS WORLD BUT MEN AND WOMEN LOVE DARKNESS MUCH MORE THAN LIGHT, During THE TIME Of JEREMIAH IN His YOUNG YEARS AS A Prophet in ISRAEL after The Death OF The Good King That Help The People and Cause Them to Serve The GOD of ISRAEL in Rightousness By Removing a Lot Of False Self Pleasing Worship and Restoring The True Worship to The GOD of ISRAEL which Brought Blessing And Wealth and Prosperity To The Land Of ISRAEL Almost All The People LOVE Their King And Their GOD BUT unfortunatily He Died And His SON Became KIng IN ISRAEL BUT HE Listen TO BAD EVIL Advisers and sin Greatly Because HE THE KING RESTORE EVIL WORSHIP BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AND MAKE THE NATION SIN AGAINST GOD, AND GOD send JEREMIAH TO TELL THE PEOPLE TO REPENT and IF NOT HE GOD WOULD BURN UP THE TEMPLE AND THE ENTIRE CITY IF THEY did Not REPENT,Well The King And His Counclers Constanly REFUSE TO LISCEN To WHAT GOD SAID THROUGH THE MOUTH OF HIS PROFIT BUT RATHER TRY TO KILL The Profit for Warning Them ,So They Tie up The Prophet OF GOD AND CAST HIM IN THE CITY SUAGE to die BUt a NOBLE MAN BEG FOR THE LIFE Of JEREMIAH Because HE Fear THE WRATH OF GOD So THEY PULL UP THE Pophet out Of THE CITY SUAGE with SOME ROTTEN RAGS Tied together, All That JEREMIAH TELL the King Began TO Take Place, his city was Surrounded By the Enemy and still he did not Liscen, after all His Trouble JEREMIAH Did Not Want To Work For GOD anymore So He Refuse To Prophecy To The Nation Of ISRAEL, BUT The Power of GOD SPIRIT was alive still within His BODY That He Could Feel The Anointing moving Like The fire Of GOD Burning in The Very BONES of His Body That He Had To Go Back And ProphecyTo The Nation again Because GOD Word was still in His Mouth,and alive in his SOUL as it is written in Chapter 1 of Jeremiah GOD Cannot LIE OR FAIL What he said Must Come To past, GOD did DESTROY the City Because The People and King Did Not REPENT, the same goes for us today JOHN the Baptise said to REPENT for the Kingdom Of Heaven is at Hand, JESUS IS Coming Very Soon so Little sister Get Ready For the RAPTURE his at hand He that Have The SON of GOD HAVE LIFE JESUS his your anawer for Heaven Dont give up now we are very close.

Make SURE your salvation aligns with "The Gospel of Christ" (Acts 2:42; Galatians 1:6-9) for THE TIME "IS" NIGH!
Have you noticed Paul had a problem (in the flesh) with "Fire shut up in his bones" as well.
Romans 9:1-3 "I say the TRUTH in Christ, I LIE NOT, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, (v2) That I have GREAT SORROW in my HEART. (v3) For I COULD WISH THAT MYSELF WERE ACCURSED FROM CHRIST FOR MY BRETHREN, my kinsmen according to the flesh."
Therefore, you see, those who have been "chosen by GOD" have no choice! It is as "Fire shut up in our bones" whether man likes it or not: WE MUST TELL!
Sometimes I go back and look at responses given to questions on HP, and wonder "Who wrote that?" I then GIVE GOD THE GLORY, for MOST of what I write, is not from me! Then I say, "LOOK AT JESUS!"

thank you all for your comments...but when you read the story of the whole verse of 20 it shows us how Jeremiah was frustrated at the people for being so rebellion and he got mad that he vowed he would not say a word about God to them since they refuse to listen but because God's word is fire in our bellies/bones Jeremiah could not keep his mouth shut he had to tell the good news of God..Just like we do today, when we read his word don't you get that fire in your belly that you can't sit still you gotta let people know about this Jesus// again thank you all for comment I do appreciate it. have a bless day

Enormous carp bag taken during hectic pleasure fishing session
One of the region's most popular day-ticket waters has produced what is believed to be its biggest-ever pleasure weight with a staggering 435lb of carp being caught in just six hours.
Simon Foster admitted that 'the best bagging session of his life' not only saw him hook a fish almost every 30 seconds, but also left him suffering an injury to his arm caused by the sheer ferocity of the action.
The Manchester-based angler was bruised and battered by Makins Fishery's resident carp as he more than doubled his biggest-ever weight of carp during a practice session on Phase One of the complex in Nuneaton, Warks.
A seemingly endless stream of carp to 18lb was caught by the matchman as he expertly polefished a double corn hookbait down the margins in front of a huge crowd that had gathered behind peg 6 on Lake 2.
Many anglers would think you would need to pile the bait in to make a huge weight like this, but the reality was that Simon simply trickled a small pole pot of pellets and corn over his float every put-in to keep the bites coming.
"I was catching so many fish and there was so much pressure on my forearm when landing them that the bottom of the second section took the skin off my forearm and I'm now left with a scab and a big bruise. It was truly unbelievable fishing," Simon told Angling Times.
"There was an inlet pipe trickling water into the peg next door. I fished at 11m up against this and the carp were practically crawling up the bank with their backs and tails breaking the surface as they searched for my bait.
"I hardly had time to tip the bait out of my pot because the bites were coming that quick. I've fished at all the big-weight waters across the country but I've never had a day's pleasure fishing like this anywhere, and I probably never will again," he added.
Simon admitted that the size and ferocity of the carp he was catching almost stretched his red Daiwa Hydrolastic to the limit, but his line was broken only once, after which he stepped up his rig to incorporate a 0.18mm Prestons mainline and a size 14 GURU hook.
Peter Woolley has bailiffed the water on and off since it was first built almost 20 years ago, and it's the biggest pleasure catch he's ever weighed and witnessed.
"I've seen some of the best anglers in the country take big weights during my time here, but this massive haul was in a league of its own and had to be seen to be believed," said Peter.
"This is without doubt one of the best lakes in the country, and although not everyone is capable of such a huge weight, the average day-ticket angler can still easily catch over 200lb of fish in a day."

I am blessed to have the opportunity each and every week to bring powerhouse guests to you through my television program! I believe 1onONE is a divinely inspired platform God has given me to empower and strengthen the Body of Christ to become all that God has destined us to be. I also believe the broadcast is a vessel to get God-inspired principles to the masses, and reach the teenager, the CEO and everyone in between.
Why do I believe this is so important? Because, I know with all of my heart that God does not want any of us living short of who we are called to be or having all that we are supposed to have. That is what I call the extraordinary life. Anyone can live ordinary these days…living in financial lack, having health problems or not having peace in your soul is ordinary. But, if you are reading this post, that is NOT the life God has for you.
Trust me, I know what it's like to live ORDINARY; experiencing what everyone else is going through. But, one day I grew beyond frustrated, being sick, not having God's best, struggling each and every day, and questioning what my purpose in life was. It was in this dark season that I experienced what can only be described as a God moment. I began to realize that no matter how much I exercised, no matter how much I prayed, how much money I made, or how much I tried to not get upset, I would never experience the great life I so desperately wanted. God began to show me that until I begin to build up the total composition of who Damon is, I would not see His best in my life.
You see, man is a triune being. We are in fact one person, but with three different parts that, together, make up who we are. We are a spirit, we have a soul, and live in a body. We will only succeed in living the extraordinary life when we get all three parts of who we are operating at maximum levels.
If you wish to grow in wisdom and knowledge, and fulfill the will of God for your life to become all that God has created you to be, you must first focus deeply and sincerely on the body, the spirit and the soul!
So, what does that mean? How do I begin this journey? What's the course that I follow? How do I get on course, and stay the course? Well, one thing is for sure…you can't do it alone! That's why I believe our 1onONE community is so important! To fully understand the journey, let me break down the connection between the body, the spirit and the soul. The body, which is your temple, is your physical being. This relates to the areas of health, fitness and nutrition. You must take care of your physical body in order to operate at maximum levels.
But, it doesn't just stop there. You have a soul. The soul speaks to your inner self, your emotions, your thoughts, and your will. So many people are sick, dying and self-destructing, not from obesity or high blood pressure, but because they are depressed, angry, bitter or just down right unhappy.
And, you are a spirit. The spirit is our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Frankly speaking, this is where most people truly don't give enough focus. If the spirit is not aligned with God's purpose for you, then it will throw the body and soul out-of-whack. Understanding this, and focusing on each step of the journey will help you discover and come to terms with who you are, understand who you are NOT, and gain confidence in who God made you to be. It's not just a journey of your spirit, and not just a journey of your body and soul. This is a journey of revelation of you and for you. This is a journey of discovering some things about what you really think, and what you really feel is important in your life.
So, over the next few weeks, I want to share some thoughts with you on how you can take some simple steps to build up the total composition of who you are! I am ready to set out on this tremendous journey with you and introduce you to a better total self. Understand, this journey is a lifelong one that is full of God's overcoming power and Great Grace, as the Holy Spirit leads us from victory to victory, glory to glory, and into complete wholeness. In my next blog, I will discuss the spirit and lift the lid on just how vital it is to your total well-being.
And listen, you may be wondering where to get started on your own journey. If so, I want to encourage you to explore my 21-Day Journey to Restoration Package. It is filled with valuable tools for all parts of your triune being. I look forward to our journey together, and confident that you will receive breakthrough in every area that you are standing and believing for through Jesus Christ!
"Now, may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." – 1 Thessalonians 5:23
P.S. I've received testimonies of how my 21-Day Journey to Restoration Package has helped many people move towards total health! Check out this note I received from Nicole –
"Thanks, this offer came at a time when I have been seeking God about how to maximize my optimum performance in every area of my life."
So, jump on it and get yours today!
Winning with you,

Abstract In many temperate regions, brown macroalgae fulfil essential ecosystem services such as the provision of structure, the fixation of nutrients and carbon, and the production of biomass and oxygen. Their populations in many regions around the globe have declined and/or spatially shifted in recent decades. In this review we highlight the potential global and regional drives of these changes, describe the status of regionally particularly important brown macroalgal species, and describe the capacity of interactions among abiotic and biotic factors to amplify or buffer environmental pressure on brown macroalgae. We conclude with a consideration of possible management and restoration measures.
Ascophyllum • Ecklonia • Fucus • Laminaria • Macrocysis • disease • kelp • climate change • eutrophication • multi-factorial change • ecological modulation • phaeophyta

Workbox Introduction: Mister Finch
Mister Finch, who describes himself as
'A male textile artist living in the North of England making fairytale creatures from the things he finds.'
And boy, is he inventive with what he finds!
The bowls of spoons are engraved to become pieces of breastplate poetry on a dying bird, rust spotted tray cloths are turned into moth wings and silver punch bowls are transformed into the perfect perch for a life sized swan. His creatures materialise from tales of folklore, coloured with tea stains and sooty inks painted onto kimono silks, canvas and velvets. His hand stitches are meaty & bold.
The chap on the left is a Finch creation called Peabody who lives with us in the Applewood workshop. His face has been 'painted' with tea and he has a flash of handstitch under his chin. His name is engraved onto his silver medallion.
A gulp of magpies wait patiently in Finch's studio
So, you may ask, what does such an inventive maker keep in his workbox?
A squirrel, engraved scissors and surgical clamps of course!
At the end of his working day (or night, he's a bit of a Nightowl too), Finch tidies up his equipment into this vintage box above and rounds up his two cats which keep him company in the studio. Here's a closer look at what's in there...
Finch: "These are the surgical clamps I think most people who make soft sculpture use. It was Abby Glassenberg (American textile artist) who got me onto these. I modified mine. I cut off the bit on the handles that locks and filed them smooth. I preferred to use them without the clamp so they are more like scissors. I got one pair off eBay and the other from a fly fishing shop. I use them all day long and break about two pairs a year. Couldn't live without them.
I use bradawls lots to to help pull wire through and the mattress needles are great for everything. I generally use big needles for most things. I find using large darning needles stops my fingers from aching from sewing all day."
Pliers "I use small tough ones to bend wire. These are really good, they're from Clas Ohlson and were about £12 but really worth it! Great for bending spider legs."
"The red pliers are reverse pliers and I use these for helping to add rings to things."
" I use a couple of files which are only the cheap kind as they get a real battering and I don't really take good care of them as I should! I use them to smooth out moth antennae and wire joints so use them lots really.
The wooden squirrel pot keeps my pencils to hand!
I always use tailors chalk and have drawers filed with crushed crumbs and bits of it.
I wear glasses more and more now so always have these around."
("We know that feeling!" says Murgatroyd...).
" I have a small magnetic pin cushion for small pins and an oval pincushion I made myself which is made from an old dining service tray stuffed firmly with wire wool which I use everyday and really helps to keep my pins sharp"
(M&B - What a crackin' idea! )
"I use the big pins the most as I sew through plastic and thick cottons so these are the most useful to me."
" I love using big old metal scissors, use them only for fabric as everyone should!
I've had these years & love them they are Janome ones and they are engraved on the blades which you can read when they are open...'the snow fell silently'...... I always wanted scissors to say this! so I did this myself."
"The snips in the centre are the thing that I use for everything and they are always in my hand. They are marvelous. I've had the cheap version of these before but these are amazing! Again, heavy and metal like the scissors and feel great to use. They can also be unscrewed and sharpened. Would be lost without these. Got them off eBay for £11?"
If you'd like to read more about the creations and adventures of Mister Finch you can begin by reading his blog HERE and visiting his online Etsy shop HERE. Also, if you're any where near York in the near future keep your eyes out for the window of, the soon to open, Yorkshire Soap Co...
With the exception of Peabody, all images belong to Mister Finch - a big thank you to him for giving up his time to take part in this series.

An Angel of a Different Sort
When I interviewed Rabbi Shai Specht on my radio show a few weeks ago, he taught me about angels. Reb Shai said that in hebrew, the word for "angel" is often translated as "messenger." I learned that anyone or anything that brings you a message you need to hear is an angel.
An angel tapped me on the head tonight, but I am still puzzling over what she is trying to tell me.
There is a spider that lives above my desk. Three or four times over the last week, she has dropped down in front of my face while I am sitting here at my computer. I reach up to touch her and she scurries back up her invisible lifeline. She sits motionless for a long time after that. Maybe she thinks I can't see her. Maybe she was afraid and has to recuperate.
Maybe I am anthropomorphizing more than a little bit. Maybe that's OK. Maybe the lesson I am supposed to learn has less to do with the spider herself and more to do with how I perceive her actions. There's probably not much consciousness in that little spider brain and she is acting purely from instinct. But, it's human nature to see patterns and meaning that aren't really there, so I'm going with the anthropomorphizing.
When I tweeted about my little friend this week, someone asked if her name was Charlotte. I guess that is as good a name as any, although I haven't seen her write anything in English in her web.
This evening, Charlotte seems intent on extending her web down from the upper corner of the room. TWICE, she has come down and touched me on the head. When I looked up, she scurried back up. Maybe she thought my bald head was a big, shiny rock. She came down in front of my face and spread all of her legs and twisted from her thread as if trying to sense something around her to grab onto. I reached up with my index finger to touch an outstretched leg. For a moment, she grabbed on, but sensed danger and skedaddled back up.
A couple of minutes later, she came down about halfway from the ceiling to my eye level and spread herself out again. This time, I reached up and held my finger an inch from Charlotte. When she sensed my presence, she pulled all of her legs in as tight as she could, but didn't climb up. I pulled my finger away from her when my arm got tired, but watched for another while. She eventually climbed lazily back up into the safety of the established web.
OK. You may not believe what I tell you next, but I am not making this up.
When I finished my description of my interaction with Charlotte, I clasped my hands behind my head and leaned back in my chair, and said out loud to Charlotte, "What are you here to tell me?" At that moment, I saw a small moth-like creature flitting around the ceiling in seemingly random movements. I was hoping it would get caught in Charlotte's web. It was almost like waiting for a roulette ball to fall into the slot of the number I placed a bet on. Eventually that random movement bumped that moth into the web about two inches from Charlotte. Oh, boy! Charlotte is going to have a meal.
She reacted, but it wasn't enough. The web did not hold the moth. It fell down and stopped on the wall momentarily near me. "You escaped this time, Buddy." Suddenly, I'm talking to insects and arachnids.
The moth was not content to stay still. He seemed oblivious to his near death experience. What do you expect? He's a moth. He zigged and zagged his way up the wall. It may have seemed like a long time in moth time, but it was just a couple of seconds to me. When he reached the ceiling, he got caught in old cobwebs. I thought, "Fine, he got caught in the old stuff, and didn't become a meal for my buddy, Charlotte." At least I wasn't talking out loud this time. (No comments about my housekeeping and allowing the old cobwebs to stay, please.)
I was surprised at what happened next, but probably not as dismayed as the moth. I thought all of the webs up there were from dead spiders. But the granddaddy long legs sprung into action, snatched the moth, and immediately wrapped him up. Several of the eight legs grabbed and spun that moth. He would wrap for a few seconds, then pull the moth to his mouth for a second before spinning him around again. Eventually, the spider stopped wrapping and left his quarry an inch or so away. Figuring the show was over, I went back to my writing here. Now, the spider has pulled the moth carcass close to him. I see no movement, but I am guess he is eating. Or maybe just waiting for later.
Meanwhile, Charlotte is oblivious to her missed meal and the feast the long legs is having two feet away. And, now that I look, I see that in all those cobwebs, I see that there are actually several live spiders in that mess up in my corner.
So, what are my angels trying to tell me? I confess I don't know yet. Maybe I need to learn Charlotte's patience and not be upset at "the one that got away." Or maybe it's that random movement without direction can be fatal. Maybe I'm supposed to learn to see that there is a lot of life and energy going on over my head (literally) that I am not aware of, but should be.
Maybe another lesson will come to me later as I think about it, but here's what I am figuring out right now. Those spiders barely have a concept that I am here, if at all. I am just part of the environment, and they may not perceive me as alive at all. They are not here to teach me. But, that doesn't mean I can't learn something.
I always talk about how my horses teach me more than I ever teach them. But, my spiders have shown me that even though the intent to teach is not there, it doesn't mean they can't teach me something. When I go out to work with a horse, I intend to teach him something. In our session, he may learn something, but that horse doesn't care if I learn anything. He's just trying to get along from one moment to the next. But, I can learn from his actions. He is my teacher, but his intent is not to teach. I learn from what happens in our interaction, but only if I am willing to open up and accept the lesson.
There is a joke I have seen on Twitter several times, but I laugh very time: I was wondering why the Frisbee was coming at me, then it hit me.
Now, I see that I can learn something from the Frisbee (Duck or catch it), but it has no intention of teaching me. It's just flying minding its own business when I get in the way.
So if horses and spiders are my unwitting angels, what else is out there that I can learn from? What else is flying along, oblivious to me, but if I pay attention, I can learn something from it? How do I learn to pay better attention?

i have always believed in horoscopes and fortune tellers
in fact, the first page i read in seventeen magazine happens to be the horoscope page
(i'm a capricorn)
there is a palm reader just down the street from my house, and i have ALWAYS wanted to go
every time we pass it and i see the "open" sign i beg my mom to take me in
to this day i have never been in it
but that being said, today my mom, brother, and i went to "the worlds most amazing flea market" just a little day trip from my house
we also went to the zappos outlet/warehouse store and i snagged some $20 pink and green jack rogers, but that's a story for a different day
at the worlds most amazing flea market we walked aisle by aisle just browsing at all the "amazing" finds. we walked through the entire place and finally came to the last aisle. as we were walking down it, we saw a tarot card reader and my mom was like
"chloe, you have to get your cards read"
and i was like
"yeah i should"
and then she said
"here's some money go do it"
and then i said
"but i'm kinda scared"
so we continued walking down the aisle as i was debating whether or not a tarot card reader could be seen reading my cards in the near future
i eventually decided that i shouldn't be scared of the idea of my future and just do it
so i did it
i got my cards read
here's how it went down:
i payed $5 for the fortune lady to answer three of my questions
*all words that are in asterisks are my thoughts*
my first question was
"what will i be when i grow up career wise"
her/the cards answer:
"i think you would make an amazing nurse. maybe an accountant. hmm. ahh. hmm. oh i know, you would be an amazing teacher"
*holy smokes, did she just say teacher? this must be legit*
my next questions was :
"will i get healthier soon"
her/the cards answer :
"you need to keep searching for your answer. you can't stop until you find it. just keep searching. and you need to believe in yourself more. yeah definitely believe in yourself"
*gosh, that's my motto "believe in yourself" how did she know that. this is starting to freak me out a little bit*
and because i couldn't think of a third question she just told me to pick random cards and then she would read them for me.
"do you have a boyfriend? no? well it seems you're going to get one soon. it'll start out as a friendship but turn into a relationship, but you'll have a boyfriend in the near future. hmm you're also going to have a new girlfriend to hangout with. and it looks like you're going to live until you're about 90. yes, you're going to have a long happy life"
*oolala a boyfriend. and a new friend. sweet. oh and living a long happy life is reassuring. that's awesome. i should get my fortune read more often*
the fortune teller told me more information throughout the reading, but i can't remember it all! but that's definitely the gist of it!
if you've been debating whether or not to get your palm read or your your tarot cards read - do it.
it's scary. and freaky. and weird. but it's also amazing. cool. and still kinda freaky.
have you ever had your fortune read/told?
do you want to get your fortune read/told?
thanks for reading

Commercial property valuations in the UK most accurate in Europe
Permalink: Commercial property valuations in the UK most accurate in Europe
by Lin Freestone
The majority of UK commercial property valuations fall within 10% of sale prices, according to the latest RICS Valuation and Sale Price Report, produced in collaboration with IPD.
The UK valuations are the most accurate of the four largest property investment markets in Europe, with 60.4% falling within 10% of sale prices during 2007, and 84.5% within 20%. This level of accuracy was achieved despite market uncertainty due to the severe lack of liquidity in the commercial property market as a result of the global credit crunch.
In comparison, Netherlands valued 50% of properties within 10% of sale prices, followed by Germany with 47.6% and 40.2% in France.
Between September and December 2007, the number of properties sold below valuation almost doubled, compared to those sold earlier in the year, an indication of the beginning of the financial crisis.
In October 2007 sales dropped to a yearly low, but rose significantly in November and achieved the highest figure of the year in December as investors were forced to sell below valuation price in order to free up much needed capital.
A RICS' spokesperson commented that this annual report is a vital measure of valuations, ensuring that the relationship between valuation and selling price is closely monitored.
The IPD Valuation and Sale Price research study has been running for over 20 years and was first undertaken as a collaborative study with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 2003. The analysis in this year's report covers the markets of France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.
IPD is a global information business, dedicated to the objective measurement of commercial real estate performance.

Senator Bernie Sanders brought the last two months of his bridge-building and platform-wrangling to their expected, logical conclusion: he said, in so many words, "I am endorsing Hillary Clinton" and told us why his supporters need to abandon any sour-grapes Fox-News-nattering loserism and get on board with electing the first woman President, fighting the tyranny of the Trumpist GOP, and forwarding the revolution.
Here's the video of Sanders and Clinton together at the rally today in Portsmouth, new Hampshire, giving an endorsement that revolves, as it ought, entirely around the policy outcomes the two viable Presidential candidates offer:
Highlights from the transcript:
Together, we have begun a political revolution to transform America and that revolution continues. Together, we continue the fight to create a government which represents all of us, and not just the one percent – a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice [Senator Bernie Sanders, speech, Portsmouth, NH, 2016.07.12].
No matter how much some of us may not like Hillary Clinton, she has still dedicated her life to public service. Donald Trump has no inclination to public service. Trump is the One Percent personified: born into wealth, utterly self-absorbed, heedless of the poor or anyone else.
Hillary Clinton understands that we must fix an economy in America that is rigged and that sends almost all new wealth and income to the top one percent. Hillary Clinton understands that if someone in America works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty.
She believes that we should raise the minimum wage to a living wage. And she wants to create millions of new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. – our roads, bridges, water systems and wastewater plants.
But her opponent – Donald Trump – well, he has a very different view. He believes that states should have the right to lower the minimum wage or even abolish the concept of the minimum wage altogether. If Donald Trump is elected, we will see no increase in the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour – a starvation wage [Sanders, 2016.07.12].
Senator Sanders says Clinton's support for the 99% goes far beyond the minimum wage question. Clinton supports the public option to expand coverage and reduce health care costs; Trump wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act and strip millions of affordable insurance. Clinton wants a more progressive tax code that closes loopholes for billionaires, corporations, and hedge fund managers; Trump wants to give his rich peers more tax breaks and explode the national debt by $11.5 trillion. Clinton wants to get serious about climate change; Trump says science is a hoax and wants to burn more fossil fuels.
Most importantly, Trump rejects the American motto of e pluribus unum; Clinton supports it:
In these stressful times for our country, this election must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up. While Donald Trump is busy insulting Mexicans, Muslims, women, African Americans and veterans, Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.
Yes. We become stronger when black and white, Latino, Asian American, Native American – all of us – stand together. Yes. We become stronger when men and women, young and old, gay and straight, native born and immigrant fight to rid this country of all forms of bigotry [Sanders, 2016.07.12].
Senator Sanders spends not one sentence of his speech talking about e-mails or lawsuits or bankruptcies or scandals. As he has throughout his campaign, he looks at the policy options laid out before us, and he makes a powerful case that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party offer policies far superior to those of Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
Senator Sanders makes clear that we Berniecrats have one practical option: if we want to put someone in the White House who will fight for the policies and the principles that made us vote for Bernie Sanders, we must in November vote for Hillary Clinton.
Related Polling: Never assume victory. Always run as if you're behind.
That said, in a survey conducted from June 15 through June 26, Pew Research finds that Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump 51% to 42%. Those nine points are a larger spread than Barack Obama had over Mitt Romney in June 2012 (four points) and over John McCain in June 2008 (eight points). Trump wins among men 49–43, but Clinton wins bigger among women 59–35. Trump wins among whites 51–42, but Clinton creams him among blacks 91–7 and among Hispanics 66–24. The only age group going for Trump is the 65-and-over crowd 49–46. The old folks favored Romney and McCain over Obama by larger margins.

With his business empire under fire and ready to collapse, Kane and his partners turn to unlikely sources for help.
Nick Lopez is a wounded warrior, an undercover major crimes cop caught in the crossfire when he brokers a deal between competing rival Miami crime families. When his best friend, David Black, calls him for advice, Nick sees it as an omen. Sometimes it's better to get out of Dodge and live, so he quits the force and heads north.
Jace McClune has seen and done too much as a vice cop. His last undercover assignment was his undoing, leaving him with an intervention but no resolution. Thomas Kane has friends in high places, and when he hints the mob's fingerprints are all over the attempts to take over his businesses, the precinct brass see this as a good way for Jace to get his head on straight with a babysitting job.
Jace and Nick pair up for a simple sting operation, but they soon discover that under the layers of betrayal and lies runs the threat of a new operation - one that takes the skin trade to new levels of perversion. Neither man is prepared for the mutual attraction that simmers to a rolling boil as it becomes clear that the only way they can cut to the truth is to allow Jace to sink once more into the dangerous underbelly of the city.
They're about to find out why a man you can't break is a man worth breaking...

"Great series"
I'm enjoying the range of different characters and the varied complex plots in this series as Kane and co struggle to retain control of their specialised escort business. This story has a darker and more violent feel to it as the two main characters go undercover to help flush out mafia dealings in a BDSM sex slave auction. There's plenty of drama and several twists along the way. I will need to listen again to sort it all out in my head.
There's attraction and sizzling chemistry between Nick and Jace from the start and the development of their relationship over the story was well done. Their intimate scenes are hot and their concern for each other's welfare was spot on. I loved Nick's protectiveness of Jace.
The story was steadily paced. I particularly liked the suspense and action in the last third of book, especially the exciting scenes at the house in The Hamptons.
As always, superb, well-paced narration by Michael, with a range of different voices for the characters.

Plymouth 0-1 Liverpool FA Cup: Lucas Leiva header from Philippe Coutinho corner sends Reds to FA Cup fourth round
Liverpool booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup as Lucas Leiva proved the unlikeliest of goalscoring heroes in a 1-0 win at Plymouth.
The Brazilian had not scored since finding the net in a Europa League tie against Steaua Bucharest in October 2010, but he provided the decisive touch of this third-round replay with an 18th-minute header.
League Two Plymouth came agonisingly close to an equaliser when Jake Jervis volleyed against the post 15 minutes from time and, although Divock Origi saw his late penalty saved by Luke McCormick, Liverpool move on to a home tie with Wolves in the next round.
The Premier League side chose to omit Joel Matip as the row over the defender's eligibility rumbles on.
Boss Jurgen Klopp felt he could not risk playing Matip with FIFA unable to say whether he is free to play after Cameroon tried to call him up for the African Nations Cup.
But Origi, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho all started in a formidable looking frontline as Klopp named a stronger line-up than the one held by their Devon opponents on Merseyside 10 days earlier.
Plymouth only had 23 per cent possession at Anfield and the tie quickly developed a similar pattern as Liverpool set up camp in the Pilgrims' half.
Sturridge's shot lacked accuracy and Coutinho scuffed an inviting effort when well placed at the far post.
Liverpool also saw penalty appeals waved away after Sturridge fell under Oscar Threlkeld's clumsy challenge, but the visitors were ahead after 18 minutes.
Plymouth would have been bitterly disappointed by the nature of Liverpool's goal, while few - if any - could have predicted the identity of the scorer.
Lucas had scored only six goals in nearly a decade at Liverpool - and none for over six years - but it was the Brazilian who stole in unmarked at the near post to head home Coutinho's corner.
Moments later Lucas, the Liverpool captain for the night, stopped Ryan Donaldson from claiming an instant equaliser after Loris Karius had pushed out Graham Carey's well-struck drive.
It was a sign Plymouth were determined not to slip quietly from the FA Cup and the hosts played their best football of the entire tie as the Liverpool defence had to scramble on more than one occasion.
Trent Alexander-Arnold produced a timely tackle on Arnold Garita following good work by the lively Threlkeld, and Joe Gomez was booked for felling Jordan Slew as the pacey Argyle striker threatened to bear down on goal.
Liverpool needed the security of another goal but it was the hosts who started the second half as they had finished the first.
Carey was at the heart of an incisive one-touch move which ended with David Fox firing from distance and Karius gathering on his line.
The majority in a sell-out crowd of 17,048 were clearly sensing a way back for Plymouth.
But Liverpool slowly re-established control with Sturridge finding the side netting and Origi forcing a save from McCormick.
Klopp was relaxed enough to withdraw Coutinho and send on Harry Wilson for a Liverpool debut over three years after he eclipsed Gareth Bale to become Wales' youngest player.
But Liverpool had an almighty scare when Jervis was left unattended from Sonny Bradley's knock down to volley against the post with Karius beaten.
Origi failed to double Liverpool's lead after Yann Songo'o had fouled Alberto Moreno in the penalty area, sending his shot straight at McCormick.
But Plymouth can take pride from a committed performance safe in the knowledge that their FA Cup exploits this season have earned the club an estimated £1million.
Lucas delighted
Lucas Leiva was delighted to score his first goal in seven years to send Liverpool through to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
A young Reds side were pushed all the way by Sky Bet League Two promotion hopefuls Plymouth, but Brazilian Lucas' first-half header was enough to see the Premier League side progress.
"I think they made it very difficult for us," Lucas told BT Sport 2. "They are very strong physically and we had a lot of young players but it's a good experience and the main thing was to get through to the next round and we did it.
On his goal, the midfielder added: "I scored last week in training! It's good to score, I don't score many and I helped the team, that's the main thing."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was more pleased with the result than the performance.
"The longer you don't score the more exciting it can get and you saw that when they started getting really direct, we are not used to it and they hadn't played too often together - the back-line," he said.
"Okay, they had a few chances but so did we, especially in the last 20 minutes where we controlled the game.
"Maybe it wasn't the most exciting game but for us it it's very important as...it's another game for a few of the young boys, so that's all good."A Twitter List by BelTel

Is it possible that Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan is the most disrespected 15 point career scorer to come into the league in the past five years? You might think that if scoring was the only factor taken into consideration, but for shooting guards, the game is much more than a chuck-and-duck mindset.
DeRozan started off with a respectable rookie average of eight points and three assists per game in 21 minutes of playing time. The following season, he would more than double that average to 17 points per game in providing scoring to a Raptors squad that was in desperate need of it with the departure of Chris Bosh to sunny Miami. Last season, DeRozan averaged 18 points per game. Though his scoring average has gone up at a steady clip, his rebounding and assists numbers (3.5 boards and 1.8 assists career averages) are average to below average when one considers that he has been playing at least 35 minutes per game since his second season. |
Also, DeRozan's three point stroke is inconsistent at best — an embarrassing handicap at worse. His steal numbers are low as well, considering his length and quickness. Now that DeRozan will team up with SF Rudy Gay this season, one would expect him to get the ball to Gay whenever possible, and vice verse as well. The duo will make up one of the most explosive wing tandems in the league next season and have all the tools to bring the Lob City mantra north of the border.
Even though DeRozan is only averaging 1.8 assists per game for his career, he should be able to at least throw a lob. It's quite easy to do actually, especially when you're throwing it to an NBA athlete with the wingspan and hands of Gay. The chemistry of Gay and DeRozan on the fast break and in the locker room are imperative for the Raptors if they are to make any noise in the steadily strengthening Eastern Conference.

A Most Gracious Lady
I called, Diane, because I wanted to know if I could publish a copy of a chart that I own, for the ladies whose names are not chosen in my Giveaway, a consolation prize, if you will.
Knowing little about copyrights I decided to ask a very good friend, who knows such things. She advised me to talk directly to the designer, as this was a very sticky area, the infringements upon copyrights and the act of piracy on the internet.
We chatted and I just gushed, rather embarrassingly about how much I love everything Little House Needleworks, as well as her daughter's Country Cottage Needleworks, and she listened and made me feel like her biggest fan, instead of the rather idiotic housewife that I am.
After we hung up the phone, I began to think about all the things that Diane shared with me, just what happens when someone decides to use a designer's pattern and the domino effect that ensues. The reality is that many small designers and LNS's are forced to close their doors because they cannot keep up with the loss of needed income to stay afloat. I realized that, though we all like to be able to get something for nothing, and it's nice to be able to hit the download button and have a new WIP to share, but at whose expense, and to what end. Let's be honest, the average cross stitch chart is not that much to purchase, most less than $10, and the greatest bargain is Diane's many choices in chart packs that allow you to purchase both the pattern and the Crescent Colours floss.
I can say that I have never used a chart that I didn't purchase, as I know my readers have not either, it does occur, more than we know.
So, it is with this in mind that I am standing with Diane and all those that have taken a stand with her, and I am saying "No" to copyright infringement. I have posted the badge on my side bar, and I will "wear" it proudly (yes, I have been given permission to use it).
Thanks, Diane, for such a lovely chat, and a wonderful view of what is right. You are a very gracious lady.
I still have not thought of an idea for the consolation prizes, but I know it will be wonderful and best of all it will not take anything away from the women who we rely on to keep us in stitches.
3 comments:
A lot of people don't even think of it as stealing but it is neverthless. We need to support our designers so that they will still keep producing lot more beautiful designs to stitch.ReplyDelete
I totally agree with you :) I have never come across the situation myself, but I could see someone just saying "oh, how nice" and downloading it and not realizing it is piracy.ReplyDelete
We do love our designers :)
Happy Tuesday Karyn, Yes I am totally with you on this one. I e mailed Diane some time ago ,not about stitching but her poorly woofit who was the same "make"as Ollie. She was so touched and replied , I think I was about 10 feet tallthat day. We forget these designers are ordinary folk and need a living just like us.ReplyDelete
I adore kind comments, and though I may not always reply please know that I read and enjoy them all!

Are your mornings rushed? Are your kids starting their day without breakfast? Research confirms that kids who eat breakfast have more energy, learn better, behave better, and are healthier.
When kids eat breakfast they receive key nutrients including calcium, iron and dietary fiber. Plus, a SMART breakfast fuels a child's body, mind and imagination. Follow these five easy tips for fitting a SMART breakfast into your morning grind.
Tips to Eating a SMART Breakfast
- Simple: A quick and convenient breakfast can be nutritious.
- Many different foods: Kids need a variety of nutrients. A SMART breakfast does not need to be traditional (eggs, toast, cereal & milk) but can include different food groups.
- Anytime foods: Always stock your house with the easy, no-need-for-preparation type foods (fruits, veggies, protein bars).
- Refuel: Breakfast means "break" the "fast". Kids need to refuel after going several hours without food and nutrition. A SMART breakfast provides energy for the brain and fuels the body for learning, growth and play.
- Teach your kids: You exert a powerful influence on your child's eating habits by determining what food is available, planning meals, and serving as a role model for food choices.
Recipe for Success
Breakfast doesn't have to be complicated and messy. Here are some easy ideas for your morning meal:
- Peanut butter and banana whole wheat sandwich with low fat milk
- Bean and cheese burrito with 100 percent orange Juice--make burritos ahead of time and freeze. For a quick meal, just heat and serve. Add your favorite diced vegetables for variety (shredded carrots, zucchini, diced tomatoes and bell peppers)
- Fruit pizza and chocolate milk--top a whole grain English muffin with melted cheese and apple slices. Serve with low-fat chocolate milk.
- 5 cups Frosted Shredded Wheat Cereal
- 1 ½ cups small pretzel twists, whole grain goldfish, cheese crackers or multigrain wheat squares
- ½ cup dry roasted peanuts*
- 2 Tablespoons Trans-Free Margarine
- ½ cup Natural Peanut Butter
- 1 cup raisins, dried blueberries or cherries
*not recommended for children under age 3
In medium bowl, combine cereal, pretzels (crackers/cereal). In a medium saucepan heat margarine and peanut butter until margarine is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally. Pour over cereal mixture and toss gently until evenly coated. Transfer mixture to 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally. Spread on waxed paper lined baking sheet. When completely cool, store in airtight container.
Serving Suggestions:
Pack in individual snack bags for quick and convenient breakfast to go. Serve with low-fat milk or yogurt.

C Programming/complex.h/cimag< C Programming | complex.h(Redirected from C Programming/C Reference/complex.h/cimag)
cimag is a complex function in c programming. As complex numbers contain two parts, one real part and one imaginary part, this function is used to declare the imaginary part of a complex number. For example, let 'M' be any complex number which can be represented using c functions as follows:
- M = creal(M) + cimag(M) * i
- where creal(M) = real part of M.
- The function returns the imaginary part of the complex no.

Juniper House, completed in 2010, located in the Historic Newagen Colony on Southport Island. A four bedroom year round home with unique antique accents, sits just 65 feet from the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean. The one acre property offers privacy and panoramic ocean views, taking in Sequin Island lighthouse to the south, islands, and Sheepscot Bay to the west. This is a unique environment for those seeking a truly Maine Downeast experience.
The home offers an appealing open floor plan with expansive French door windows running along most of the first floor creating a light filled sunny space. A gourmet state-of-the-art kitchen with an island opens to dining and a cathedral ceiling living room with antique fireplace. A master bedroom suite with TV and a screened in porch is at the south end of the house with a book lined study, TV and an antique fireplace at the north.
The second floor includes four bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room. One bedroom has a queen sized bed and the other bedroom has two twin beds and a trundle. All three bedrooms have ocean views. The fourth room has a full bed.
Juniper Cottage is within walking distance of the Southport Library and the charming Southport Town Landing, where vegetables and baked goods are brought in weekly by a converted Long Island oyster boat. The Southport Store is a fun place to visit on the walk to Hendricks Head beach.
Guests at Juniper House may enjoy the amenities we share with the Newagen Seaside Inn. This includes a, saltwater seaside pool. Please check with Newagen Seaside Inn for details regarding the Pine Room. This room is available on Thursday's only, you will find a game room with billiards. Tennis courts are close by (see Newagen Seaside Inn to set a court time).
You can also enjoy a dock for swimming and our own beach(somewhat sandy and rocky but beautiful) and finally nature paths which cover the Association's property.
Our guests also often enjoy the fine dining, in a casual setting, offered at the Inn as well as beverages at the Pub.
During your stay you will surely enjoy visits to Boothbay Harbor only a 15 to 20 minute drive depending on the opening or closing of the swing bridge. A visit to the respected Maine Coastal Botanical Gardens, boat cruises, whale watching, deep sea fishing, art galleries, restaurants etc., are popular for many.
For the Golfers in the family, the Boothbay Golf Course (completely renovated in 2013) offers an 18 hole course with a full service club house to complete that perfect day.
Juniper Cottage is approximately three hours from Boston, Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, one hour from Camden and just forty five minutes from Bath, Brunswick and Freeport.
This is a beautifully maintained, quiet house in Newagen Seaside Colony community about 15 minutes south of Boothbay Harbor. First floor layout is open and very comfortable, including the large kitchen and master suite with private bath, sitting area and screened porch. The location is on the rocky shoreline, so we enjoyed the sound of waves crashing all day long. Newagen Colony Inn is 3 minute walk away and offers good food, tennis courts and a boat pier. We had an incredibly relaxing week at this wonderful house.
After spending 3 lovely weeks at Juniper House, it's hard to imagine a more beautiful, relaxing, peaceful place to be. As you can see in the photos, the house is both gorgeous and comfortable, but it's the setting that is truly incredible. Between the changing moods of the ocean from placid to stormy and crashing, the birds, occasional seals and even dolphins, the sunsets, the Seguin Island lighthouse in the distance, the moon over the water, and the amazing stars at night, we really just wanted to sit on the back deck or on the beautiful lawn the whole time.
But we didn't, because there is so much to see and do in Southport and Boothbay for both kids and adults. We and our two-year-old son had a great time visiting the Aquarium, the Botanic Gardens (with an amazing children's garden), the Boothbay Railway Village, numerous nature trails, the farmer's market, and we looked forward to the Merrymeeting Farm vegetable boat every Wednesday. So neat! Plus, having the Newagen Seaside Inn next door was a real asset. Our son loved the candlepin bowling alley, and it's nice to be able to walk the grounds and have the option of swimming off their dock or in the pool.
Wendy, the caretaker, is a pleasure - sweet, and ready and willing to help with anything. She even brought us a pot of delicious seafood chowder!
After just a week home, we are missing the house and already planning a longer stay next summer. We really can't recommend it more strongly. A great, great vacation.
Just a short ride from Juniper enjoy a traditional lobster dinner on the outside deck at Robinson's Wharf. Visit the famous Boothbay Botanical Gardens just approx. 5 miles from the Southport bridge. If you are a golfer visit the newly renovated Boothbay Golf Course. Located in down town Boothbay Harbor you will find many activities from kayaking, whale watching, sailing, and so much more.
