Where would you be without the beautiful tropical fish, the poetic, noble land-mermaids, the spectacular clouds of brilliance better known as your "Galentines"?! If those stunning compliments are confusing to you, start watching Parks and Rec. Even if you're not a fan of the show, though, now's the time of year to celebrate a very special holiday that originated on it — Galentine's Day. It's technically the day before Valentine's Day, and it's a chance to show the women who keep you going just how much you love 'em. Give your best girls something unexpected this year with the help of our Galentine-specific guide.
Crush the Clichés: Our Least Mushy Valentine's Day GiftsJanuary 27, 2017
For many, Valentine's Day means Cupid's arrows, red roses, and hearts on EVERYTHING. But for a lot of other folks, the thought of presenting someone with a giant teddy bear holding a plush heart that reads, "I Wuv U" seems a little silly. Sure, we appreciate the classic approach to V-Day gifting, but we're all for celebrating the holiday without all that over-the-top, sentimental, gooey stuff, too. In honor of those lovebirds who are sweet (but not sappy) and romantic (but still realistic), we created this collection of lovable gifts, minus the mush.
Super Sweet Gifts for All Your ValentinesJanuary 23, 2017
Whether you've settled down with someone who sends you over the moon, are falling hard for a guy or gal you can see yourself with for the long haul, or are just getting to know a new flame, you're probably thinking about getting them a gift for Valentine's Day. Of course, February 14 isn't only about romance. It's also a time to show the other great loves of your life how much you appreciate them. Celebrate those close to you, whether they're friends, family, or happen to have fur or fins, with this assortment of super sweet gifts for all of your valentines.
Since teaming up with our friends at Mental_Floss last year to produce printable, trivia-packed party kits, we have had lots of fun introducing download-it-yourself gift tags, cheese tags, and holiday cards, available to you for FREE! For Valentine's Day, we took this DIY assortment to the next level with Printable Valentine's Day Fortune Cookies.
The concept is sweet and simple: You print the cookie shapes and fortune strips, follow the included instructions for origami-style folding and filling, and add a dab of glue to finish. The download is complete with four pre-written fortunes that range from romantic to racy, and four blank strips for you to fill in a message for your Valentine.
Given that I generally view the world through my stomach, it didn't take long before I decided that homemade fortune cookies would be part of my immediate future.
Valentine's Day Gifts for the Perfect Date NightJanuary 22, 2016
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and love is in the air. Speaking of mushy cliches, your Valentine's plans don't have to be full of them. Show your special someone that you're up for anything with these gift picks for the perfect uncommon date.
Perfect Picnic
A romantic picnic in the park (or on the living room floor, if February doesn't quite provide park weather in your neck of the woods) is a great way to avoid crowded restaurants and get in a little one-on-one time.
Love Songs We LoveFebruary 14, 2012
I love a good love song. I'll admit I always get a sappy grin on my face when I hear Etta James' "At Last," I spent way more time picking music for my wedding than picking out a dress (I ended up walking down the aisle to Tom Waits' "You Can Never Hold Back Spring" and dancing with my Mr. to M. Ward's version of "Let's Dance"), and I have been the gifter of a 'mixed tape' more than once.
But I'm not the only one who loves a good romantic tune. With Valentine's Day on the way, love is in the air around here, and my coworkers were more than happy to share their favorite love songs.
Karen, a purchasing associate, just got engaged a few months ago, and she was happy to share her go-to love song. She's actually thinking of playing "8 Days a Week" by the Beatles at her wedding.
What is she getting her soon-to-be husband for Valentine's Day? She's looking past the chocolate assortment in the the heart-shaped box in favor of his favorite, Peanut M&Ms. She says she'd also like to get him a Growbottle as an inside joke. "I've killed his plants before," says Karen. "He went away for a week once and all of his plants died."
UncommonGoods buyer, Candace, also wants to get her fiance something with a special meaning. Since she met her fella in Brooklyn, they fell in love here, and they live near the Brooklyn Bridge, she's thinking the Brooklyn Bridge Pillowcase Set would make the perfect gift.
While her favorite romantic song at the moment, "Bless the Telephone" by Labi Siffre, isn't about Brooklyn, her dream Valentine's date takes place here. She and her groom-to-be are planning a Feb. 14 visit to the bar where they met, then dinner at a romantic local restaurant.
And it isn't just the ladies at UncommonGoods that get a little sentimental around Valentine's Day. Customer service supervisor, Erik, shared his pick, "Cupid" by 112.
He says he likes love songs that show the how, "when you're in a serious relationship with someone, it's all about commitment." He's all about making his girlfriend feel special on Valentine's Day. He says he likes to cook her dinner, because a home-cooked meal has more feeling to it. He also likes giving unique, handmade gifts, like the Glass Heart Vases.
Marketing assistant Rocky also thinks Valentine's Day is best celebrated dining in and just spending some quality time together. He said he thinks the Bunny Couple Sculpture makes a great gift, because it symbolizes just hanging out with someone you love. And what song would he listen to while spending the night in? Stevie Wonder's "As."
Warehouse lead David's perfect date is just the opposite. He says he likes to spend the day in the city with his wife. "[In New York] you can get off the train anywhere and find something great to do. You don't have to plan anything." Since he lives in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, he loves being able to head to Manhattan to walk in Central Park, check out the theatre, and visit museums.
He also has a sense of humor about romantic gifts, and gave his special lady Porn for Women. This laid-back take applies to his favorite love song too. David chose Frank Sinatra's "Funny Valentine" because "Sinatra doesn't talk about how beautiful of perfect she is, but how she has little quirks that he loves."
Do you still need a last minute gift for your funny valentine? Here are our employee suggestions.

Why Do We Send Valentines? 10 Uncommon Facts About Valentine's DayJanuary 26, 2012
Valentine's day is a pretty special day. Whether you're lucky in love, celebrate with single friends, or share the day with family members, you likely have something planned for February 14.
But, why is the occasion so important? Here are a few fun facts about St. Valentine's Day.
Who is this St. Valentine guy, anyway?
Today, the Catholic church actually recognizes three saints by the name of Valentine or Valentinus. Each St. Valentine was martyred.
So, which one is the St. Valentine of St. Valentine's Day?
Legend has it that the St. Valentine was a priest in Rome during the third century. The emperor at the time, Claudius II, decided that single men made better soldiers, not having their hearts promised to special someones and all. So, ol' Claud outlawed Marriage. Valentine didn't agree with the emperor's rule and went around marrying folks anyway. Eventually, Valentine got caught and Claudius sentenced him to death for his defiance.
What does that have to do with cards and flowers?
Some believe that the St. Valentine fell in love while he was imprisoned and sent letters to his lover before he was martyred. Others say that another Valentine is responsible for 'Valentines.' Either way, the legend says that a man named Valentine fell in love with his jailer's daughter while in prison. She secretly visited him in captivity, and before he died he wrote her a letter signed, "From your Valentine."
Does that mean that Valentine's Day is the biggest greeting card day of the year?
Not quite! Christmas is still the number one there. More greeting cards are sent on Christmas than any other day, but Valentine's Day comes in second place.
Why is Valentine's Day on February 14?
This is another question that's answer has been argued over the years. Some folks say it's because St. Valentine died in mid February. Other's claim that it has to do with the ancient Roman Lupercalia festival, which took place on Feb. 15. The festival marked the start of spring and celebrated fertility.
Did the ancient Romans give each other Valentines?
Not exactly. The Lupercalia festival started with the sacrifice of a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. Boys would slice the goat's hide into strips, dip them in sacrificial blood, and and run around slapping women with the goathide strips. The women actually welcomed the slapping, because it was believed being touched by the sacrificial strips made them more fertile.
How else did they celebrate?
After the slap-fest, women would enter their names in an urn. The men would then draw names from the urn to chose the women they would be paired with for the upcoming year. These pairings often resulted in marriage.
Interesting tradition! So, that ended with the Romans?
Yes and no. While the custom of using a "lottery" to pick marriage partners didn't last, the tradition did, in a way, live on. In England in the middle ages young men and women drew names to choose their Valentines. Then, they would pin the name to their sleeve. It's believed that the term "wear your heart on your sleeve" comes from this custom.
How did our modern traditions come about?
While the oldest known Valentine still in existence is a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife in 1415, Valentine's got a boost in popularity when Massachusetts native Esther Howland started selling the first mass-produced Valentine's Day cards in the 1840s.
And that brings us to today…
Now, the average American spends about $100 on Valentine's Day gifts, meals, and entertainment each year. As for cards, about 85% of those are sent by women. That isn't saying that men don't appreciate their Valentines. 73% of Valentine's Day flower purchases are made by men.
Of course, flowers and cards aren't the only way to celebrate this day of love. We have all kinds of gifts to help you make Valentine's day extra special for the love of your life!

Champaign felon charged with having gun
URBANA — A Champaign man who allegedly used a gun to try to break up a fight among several women in Urbana last weekend has been criminally charged.
Donovan Hill, 25, who listed an address in the 1200 block of Mimosa Drive, was charged Friday in Champaign County Circuit Court with unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.
Urbana police investigator Duane Maxey said Hill was arrested Thursday in connection with a fight last weekend at the Hamilton at the Park apartment complex at the northeast corner of Wright and Eads streets.
Maxey said police were sent there about 2:40 a.m. Saturday because one woman had allegedly stabbed another, then fled to a nearby car in the parking lot for refuge. As the alleged stabber was inside the car, a group of women surrounded the car and were damaging it, Maxey said.
Hill reportedly pulled a gun and threatened the crowd with it in an attempt to get the people away from the car, which Maxey said belonged to Hill's sister.
Maxey said police are still looking for the woman who allegedly stabbed the 30-year-old Champaign woman in the head with a paring knife. The victim was treated and released from the hospital.
Because of a 2013 conviction for possession of a controlled substance, Hill is not allowed to possess a weapon.
Judge Richard Klaus set Hill's bond at $25,000 and told him to be back in court June 24.

Conti offers 1.95% euro mortgage on French properties
Permalink: Conti offers 1.95% euro mortgage on French properties
by Gill Montia
Overseas mortgage specialist, Conti, is offering one of its lowest rates ever for properties in France, at 1.95%.
According to the firm, France has always been a safe haven for overseas buyers because of its relatively stable property market and relatively secure situation.
As a result, there is a strong appetite for lending to foreign investors, in some cases up to 100% of the value of the property.
Conti operations director, Clare Nessling, says: "The country has become an increasingly attractive investment option, not least … due to the falling value of the euro, and lower property prices, with many sellers dropping their prices to levels we've not seen for several years."
Euro mortgages available for homes in France through Conti include a variable-rate loan at 1.95% for 80% loan to value (LTV); a five-year fix at 3.15% at 80% LTV; a two-year fix at 3.50% at 100% LTV, minimum loan value of €300,000, and minimum earnings (single or joint) of €90,000.
Earlier this year, Conti reported that an increasing number of clients were opting for euro mortgages in the expectation of making large savings as sterling recovers against the euro.
For example, an UK investor who took out a euro mortgage of €250,000 in February based on the exchange rate at that time of around €1.1 per £1, made a commitment of around £227,000 to pay off the mortgage.
However, the exchange rate has since improved to around €1.2 per £1 reducing the total cost of the loan by £18,000.
If, over the next year or two, the exchange rate increases to €1.3 per £1, investors would only have to find around £192,000 to repay the mortgage, reducing the cost by £35,000 in sterling terms.

Thinking of moving to San Diego? Well, if you are here is the perfect moving company. There name is Manpower Movers, and they are located in San Diego, CA. Manpower Movers provides moving services in San Diego, La Jolla, Encinitas, and Carlsbad. The reason I'm referring them is because I just moved from northern CA, and used them for my long distance move across the great state of California.
Let me start by saying nothing was broken. After driving 500 miles, not one item broke. I know that is a rarity and breakage is part of moving, but Manpower Movers directed me to their blog after I booked my move. Manpower Movers blog is filled with packing and organizing tips that although are common sense, you don't think about unless you are read it from professionals.
The second reason for recommending Manpower Movers is that they offer great rates. On my move they gave me a quote and stuck to it. The move itself hit every milestone in their quote so I knew we were sticking to schedule the entire time. It's refreshing to know the movers of Manpower were aware of my quote and the milestones they had to stick to so that my move did not go over budget.
Lastly, San Diego is beautiful. I mean, extremely beautiful. And Manpower Movers didn't ruin my first impression of the city. They actually gave me a nice welcoming present by making sure my belongings were safe and sound. If you live in San Diego, use Manpower Movers. They are awesome!

Little relishing Pompey chance
Glen Little has spoken of his surprise at securing a move to Premier League side Portsmouth.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 04/07/08 2:44pm
Glen Little has spoken of his surprise at securing a move to Premier League side Portsmouth.
The winger was part of the Reading squad which suffered relegation to the Championship last season, but has ensured that he will be playing top flight football again next season by signing a one-year deal with Pompey.
He admits that the opportunity to make the Fratton Park switch came out of the blue, but is delighted to now have the opportunity to work under a respected manager like Harry Redknapp.
"It happened so quickly," he told Sky Sports News.
"My agent rang me and said he's (Redknapp) been on the phone and he wants you to go down there and have a chat.
"It happened so quickly it was all done in a day, so it was totally out of the blue, but as we know in football things can change so quickly.
"He's been a great manager over the years and he's a good character as well. I've known him for a few years and spoke to him, but you never expect to end up playing for him."
An Achilles complaint restricted Little to just 51 minutes of first-team football for the Royals last season but, while he admits the was prepared to stay at Madejski Stadium, the lure of the Premier League proved too strong.
"I wouldn't have had any problems staying at Reading, I was all set to sign," he added.
"But when you get a chance to get back into the Premier League, at my age and my time of my career, you have to take it because having missed out last season you feel you deserve another shot at it. Luckily I've got it."
Little's former team-mate at Reading, Nicky Shorey, is another who has been linked with a move to the South Coast and the 32-year-old believes that the full-back would represent good business for Pompey.
"I'm always talking to him, but I think the main thing is he is contracted to Reading," said Little.
"It would be great if he joined Portsmouth but it's not for me to get involved in.
"I'm not going to tell people who they should be signing or Reading who they should be selling."

When a company or a nation seems to be drifting without direction, then the authoritarian leader has the perfect opportunity to step in and start to create change. Isolation makes the authoritarian leader effective and because everything tends to center with decisions made by the leader, the right journey can be found again. What makes the authoritarian unique is that they are also very adaptable. These leaders often show different leadership styles when necessary.
1. John F. Kennedy
Kennedy may be the embodiment of a situational leader, but his vision regarding where the United States needed to be to be competitive was spot on. In 1962, he announced that the US would put men onto the moon. The goal wasn't to create new technologies, but to prove to America as a country that their vision would come out on top when compared to the rest of the world. He declared how these goals would be accomplished and although he didn't live to see the fulfillment of these goals, it did eventually happen.
2. Bill Gates
Even though Gates focuses more on his foundation these days than Microsoft, his authoritarian leadership style drove the software manufacturer toward great heights. His vision was to make software that was easy enough for everyone to use, would work on the average home computer, and allow people to become productive in their own chosen way. Gates also saw where the industry was going and although Microsoft missed the mobile phone revolution, they are making a comeback with a Nokia partnership and a strong line of tablets.
3. Kim Jong-un
As the leader of one of the world's most reclusive nations, North Korea, Kim Jong-un rules with an iron fist. Having known to execute those who don't fully support him, the world is often viewed as being at war with him and his view is that he alone must lead his country into the fight. With everything coming through him, Kim Jong-un might be the best example of an authoritarian leader from a political standpoint right now.
4. Martin Luther King, Jr.
MLK makes almost every leadership list and rightly so. As one of the Top 3 most influential people of the 20th century in multiple polls, the visions that he had of equal rights came out in his many speeches. The speech he gave about his dreams spoke to the inner chords of those who heard the words initially and they still resound today because they equate happiness with equality. He knew what the future could be and he invited everyone to come along for the ride toward the outcome of his vision.
5. Vladimir Putin
On a global stage, Putin might be the most powerful authoritarian leader that exists today. He certainly has checks and balances installed in government to make it seem like it is a democratically elected government, but most government officials admit that most legislation comes straight from Putin's desk. His vision is simple: to restore Russia to its former glory from before the programs of Gorbachev that eventually let to the Soviet Union's demise. His taking of Crimea and engagement of European and NATO forces only seems to show that the first steps of his plans are still being implemented.

Spanish Researchers Analyze Human Eating Carbon Dioxide Emissions/
GreenTracker| Spanish researchers have analyzed their diet, concluding that every person emits the equivalent of about two tons of carbon dioxide a year from the time food is produced to when the human body excretes it, representing more than 20% of total yearly emissions.
It's the first time that human excrements, not only animal excrements, have been analyzed as a contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. via Science Daily
Given the fact that Americans eat much more per person than the Spanish, our carbon dioxide production is presumably much higher.

BA played their final IJHL Showcase Game Sunday evening against the Maine Moose. This was the second game these played in as many weeks. BA squeaked out a 5-4 OT win in the first contest.
The Wolverines came out for the first period slow. They allowed the Moose room to skate and didn't finish many checks along the boards. However, the Wolverines played tight end zone defense, limited the Moose to just 6 shots. BA answered with 12 shots of their own, but were only able to crack the Moose goalie once. Evan Schwender (Saunderstown, RI) banged in a rebound for a power play goal. "Evan had two players hanging on his back attempting to move him. He stood his ground and outworked them for his first goal of the season" said Head Coach Jonathan Lounsbury.Even with all the offense pressure, BA was down 2-1 going into the first break. Bridgton recognize the need to come out with some extra effort.
The second half was a totally different story. BA put 17 shots on the Moose, while limiting them to 9. Defenseman Dave Stevens (Lynn, MA) scored the equalizer on a blast from the point which beat the Moose goalie on the short side. It was Stevens first goal of the season. With a fresh step and a determined effort, BA capitalized with two more power play goals. First, David Findley (Hamden, CT) scored his first goal of the season winning another battle around the net. Aaron Semiao (North Reading, MA) iced the win with his 3rd goal of the season. Semiao took a feed wheeled in from the off wing and sniped a shot into the upper right corner, just under the crossbar. "We started playing with confidence as the game progressed. When we play with composure, our skills take over and make us a very difficult team to defend" said Assistant Coach Mike Meserve.
Bridgton will be home Friday evening October 16 for a 7:30pm game against the Eastern Kodiaks. BA will then travel to Exeter, NH to play the Kodiaks Saturday 8:30pm. The Wolverines record currently stands at 5-0 with 38 games left to go.

JEFFERSON — The company planning to build an asphalt plant in Glendale Springs filed a civil suit against Ashe County in early April.
According to court records, Appalachian Materials LLC filed a "writ of mandamus" motion in Ashe County Superior Court on April 7. It's a bid to force the county to allow the company to move forward with its controversial plan to build an asphalt plant in the eastern reaches of Ashe.
Ashe County Attorney John Kilby said the "mandamus," motion is meant to compel a county to perform a certain action which the petitioner believes the county is obligated to do.
"In this case, Appalachian Materials believes the county is obligated to approve a permit the company needs to move forward with its asphalt plant," Kilby said. "The county disputes that, obviously, and believes that it does not have to do so right now."
At presstime, the county has yet to file a response to the complaint.
How'd we get here?
Appalachian Materials first began working on its asphalt plant project in mid-2015, and the company's complaint indicates that it believes the sequence of events concerning the project are important to its case.
In early June, the company filed for both state and local permits it believed it needed to move forward with the operation, including a state air quality permit and a county "polluting industry," or PID, permit.
The company claims in its complaint that Ashe County Planning Director Adam Stumb notified it on June 15, 2015, that "the PID application met all the requirements of the ordinance and stating that the PID permit was 'on hold' until Appalachian received the air quality permit from the (North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality)."
Appalachian further claims that Stumb's "approval decision" was never appealed and has since become binding.
The company said it moved forward with its application – based on Stumb's approval decision it claims – and spent substantial resources in the belief it would soon be able to produce asphalt on the site.
But the plan began to draw fire from the public in late summer after it became known that Appalachian Materials planned to build an asphalt plant in Glendale Springs. An environmental advocacy group, Protect our Fresh Air, lobbied the Ashe County Board of Commissioners to oppose the plan.
"On October 19, 2015, almost four months after Appalachian submitted the PID Application and the Approval Decision was issued, the County succumbed to political pressure and adopted a six month moratorium on the issuance of development approvals required under the Ordinance," according to the complaint.
County commissioners instructed the Ashe County Planning Board to craft a stronger polluting industries ordinance, which ultimately led to Ashe County's High Impact Land Use Ordinance, which the planning board approved in March. County commissioners, however, have yet to adopt the new ordinance.
County commissioners voted on April 4, to extend the moratorium for another six months and Appalachian Materials filed its suit against the county three days later. The company's complaint alleges that because its application was filed before the county moved to amend its polluting industries ordinance, state law says the moratorium simply doesn't apply to Appalachian Material's proposal.
Kilby said the county does believe the moratorium applies to Appalachian Materials.
The company specified five claims for relief and said it "has suffered and will continue to suffer irreparable harm without the relief requested."
Ashe County Manager Sam Yearick declined to comment last week on Appalachian Material's filing but has offered insight on the scenario in previous interviews, saying it's an "open question," whether Appalachian Materials would be governed by the moratorium first passed by commissioners last fall.
Kilby said the county would answer Appalachian Materials complaint at some point in the near future, but said the county would likely first ask for an extension of time to allow it to draft a response to the complaint. He said that could happen within a month.

How do you get yourself psyched up? Do you have a personal pep talk that you give yourself?
Here are some success routine ideas and ways to get yourself pumped.
While Getting Ready:
• Power Pose• Name 5 things you are grateful for• Phone a friend• Listen to a pumped up music playlist• Look at some funny gifs• Watch inspiring Youtube videos• Imagine yourself in 5 years if everything you want goes right. Imagine what it feels like.
For the Day:
• For every negative thought, think of 3 positive ones• Make a list of your mini-successes for the day (or yesterday).• Say yes to the next request asked of you no matter what it is!• Workout, hike, dance or weightlift. The physiological effects of working out will put you in a great mindset.• Ask a friend or colleague if you can offer them any help today.• Write a letter to your younger self. What advice would you give a younger version of you?
For the Week:
• Do something that is completely out of character—paint your nails black or order have someone else order your dinner for you and see what happens!• Write your bucket list.• Make a list of your proudest moments. • Clean up your inside, by cleaning up your outside. De-clutter your desk and surrounding work areas.• Be around people who nourish you. Get a date with them on the calendar.• Start a project you have been putting off
For the Month:
• Be a Giver: Do 3 kind things for friends or strangers• Learn a completely new activity—aerial ballet, calligraphy, paddle boarding. You name it!• Purge the distractors! Clear out your closet of any clothes, shoes or accessories that make you feel uncomfortable, low confidence or not yourself.• Book a treat for yourself. You can take yourself to a movie, your favorite restaurant or a solo day trip.• Do something that you are afraid of to face your fears and challenge your comfort zone.• What can you do right now that will radically improve your chances of success?
Bonus:• Imagine yourself as a secret super hero. Like Lily:
These are all such great ideas. My go-to success routine is pump-up playlist. I'll listen to a few of my favorite songs before work or a meeting. Even if I don't have anything "big" that day, I like to get in the confident/happy mindset. I'll try out a few of your other suggestions too. Thanks, Vanessa!
I'm an inspiration kind of guy, so I like to watch inspiring videos or get inspiration from a friend or colleague. I'll typically only do this right before a big meeting or event, but I like the idea of using a daily/weekly/monthly success routine to get into the habit of feeling confident. Great tips.
I'm still learning and a bit of a newbie at this stuff but I recently tried using power posing when I visited a theme park. I went on a couple of the really scary rides and deliberately stood with my hands on my hips while waiting in the line. When I finally got on the rides I didn't feel the least bit nervous or fearful - I felt really good! But best of all no one invaded my space or tried to push past me - wow! It made me feel really strong.
You could use Lift.do to make sure you actually do the habit every day by the way. The site sends you reminders to do your power routine so you don't forget it.
That's a well thought out, impressive, disciplined list Vanessa! Love it.
Having and sticking to habits makes getting psyched up for life in general from an authentic place almost effortlessly.
Some of those habits for me include sticking to a schedule, waking up and being grateful that I woke, working out and pushing myself in my workout (so easy to sleep in - have to stay habitual), listening to my On Purpose Tosha in the AM (mp3 of me recording my desires in life and the direction I want it to take). Spending time with my loves, especially my mini aussie, her constant happiness and never ending desire to be loved, and to please always amaze me. Grow. Actively seek out continued learning in areas of curiousity. Music. Take a shower, clear my mind. Remember it's all about the little things, understand what I'm grateful for and note that in my gratitude journal. Time time to inhale ~ then exhale :o) time for me. Meditation.
Sometimes I fall out of routine and it's harder to find the ways, sometime I just get stuck, but that's okay too (as long as I find my way back sooner than later!) - in truth its a constant work in progress with a side of always remembering my glass is always half full even when it's upside down.
I've recently started doing power poses to boost positive power. I teach a class on addiction prevention and self mastery to youth, and start each class having them power pose. One of the teens had been too nervous to try a ropes course/zip line we have. After starting this class, and doing power posing he tried it and love it!
This is a routine I'm going to try for 21 days, leading up to ChristmasAnyone else in? Everyday, for 21 days do the following:1. Write 3 new things you're grateful for - Helps rewire the brain to scan for good, rather than bad2. Write in a journal, and include one positive thing that's happened in the last 24 hours3. Excercise - Among the many benefits, also teaches the brain the importance of behaviors4. Meditation - Helps to focus on one thing, to combat our cultural adhd and attempting to do many things at once5. 1 random act of kindness a day
Follow up videos on his steps. I'm on day 1, just need to do my meditationGratitudes
Acts of Kindness
Off topics questions guys, how are you getting the video to embed in you post? I tried it in one of my previous post and it showed up as a link.
Are they youtube videos you're posting? I just pasted the URL and it embedded it.
oh ok, I used the link feature, that's where I want wrong. Thanks Jeff
I already do several of the items listed, but it is always great to be reminded again of the importance of doing these things on a regular basis! I can't wait to start doing Power Poses!
I like Jeff_Baird's routine he is going to try for 21 days. How is it going now Jeff?
It's been going great! I'm on day 6 today. It do already notice myself scanning for the positive more. I like that it's a simple and actionable thing to try.
Jeff, great to hear about your progress, please keep us updated on your journey! I was able to listen to all the videos you uploaded and I really liked the 21 day challenge. You inspired me to start doing it, but I am also going to add Vanessa's Power Pose's to it, along with some of her suggestions. I can't wait to see the change in 21 days!
Vanessa, I forgot to comment on my first post, I absolutely loved the video about Lily & her Turtle Suit!!! I have a dog that I rescued, who had extreme anxiety for the first 1.5 years I had him. It took a lot of time, patience and routine to help him relax. He still has some anxiety, but his personality has totally changed.
So here's to change and creating new positive routines & habits in my life!!
Ooo I've been loving the power posing too! It's helped in a lot of ways.
Thanks for posting these Jeff!
There are several different ways to get amped up to start your day right or to get ready for an important call or presentation. Below are some ways I have pumped my day up:
Listen to awesome and uplifting music. Be sure to create a playlist meant for that and be sure that your choice of words to label the playlist does energize your. For example, my playlist is named Fly Pumpin' Anthems. Music really can take your mind to another place and change your mood altogether. My mix of songs includes:
Here are more helpful approaches to getting psyched: - Singing or trying to sing can lift your spirits - Dancing or stretching - Being conscious of your posture and be sure it's with your shoulders back chin up. The physical has an impact on the internal - Smile even if you do not feel like it. It's amazing what that curve on your face can do to your mood and the mood of others around you. - Going for a bike ride or a run also helps, or you can simply jump up and down with your arms in the air or spread out - A mantra can pump you up as well. I have one I'm using every morning to get me going. It reminds me of my ultimate goal and brings a smile to my face
Not all techniques work for everyone, but you won't know until you try it for yourself!!!
Hi everyone,Love the energy and the great suggestions and contributions.
My routine is: Wake up and brush my teethMeditateWrite in my 5 minute journalExercise. I either run 3 miles or do T25 workout at home. If I run I power pose at the start, the middle and the end of my run. If I exercise I do it at the beginning and the end.Take my dog for a walk. He used to run with me but is getting to old to keep up. So walking after is a compromise we can both live with.Review my purpose or "why".Review my things to do today.Get going with what needs to be done.
At the end of the day I: Read for a bitWrite what I need to do the next day (just three things)Write in my 5 minute journalMeditate for 10 minutesHit the sack
Try to sing... Oh goodness does that ring true to me. Doesn't stop me from trying. I suppose I actually sing, the real question is does anyone else want to hear it.

Chip's Home Page
This the level where you learn about walls. There are walls that seem to be real but aren't really, and walls that don't seem to be there but stop Chip from going through anyway! So, don't think your game is broken just because Chip seems to be stuck! Some "invisible" walls will "appear" when Chip pushes against them, but some walls stay stubbornly invisible, and you will just have to work your way around them until you find a passage. Push against all of the blue walls. They will either turn into solid gray walls, or they will disappear and let you through.
By the way, there is no way to get to the chips that are in the room east of Chip. For the best result, start off by going straight west!

As we previously reported, the field of Internet of Things ("IoT") continues to attract the attention of multiple regulatory authorities. A recent report suggests that Federal agencies are increasing efforts to counter cybersecurity threats to devices and wearables connected to the Internet.
The Food and Drug Administration has intensified its attention on medical device cybersecurity in the field of IoT. The FDA published cybersecurity guidelines providing non-binding recommendations to medical device manufacturers, including positioning cybersecurity as an integral component in the design and development process.
Last year, the FTC published a Staff Report on IoT with the headline – "Privacy and Security in a Connected World". In the report, the FTC provided recommendations for companies to ensure that their products, including medical devices, have built-in security features from the outset.
It seems that this trend of cybersecurity awareness within the IoT industry is only gathering momentum, where enforcement actions are currently limited but will be destined to become more prominent. Relevant companies should keep a close eye on future regulatory and compliance developments.

The latest video from the MTV/Swatch collaboration is out and features Fred Butler and her frustrations of not being an artist (cos she can't sing!) but how she has entered that world through her designs instead. I think i'm a bit of a frustrated artist too, not being able to actually sing is quite annoying, when all you want to do is belt out a song. Not that that actually stops me!!
So what's your biggest creative frustration?

Ok, I'm not an expert by any means, BUT.................
As far as post partum hemhorage, or PPH:
Normal bleeding just after childbirth is primarily from open blood vessels in the uterus, where the placenta was attached. As the placenta begins to separate, these vessels bleed into the uterus. Then after the placenta is delivered, the uterus usually continues to contract, closing off those blood vessels.
As long as your uterus contract normally and the placenta comes out whole the risk of PPH is really low. Nursing stimulates uterine contractions, and the uterus can also be massaged externally to get it to contract. In more extreme cases, one bite of the placenta can stop PPH in it's tracks, but I'm not sure why, LOL. The placenta should and will come out intact provided it's allowed to come out on its own, many hospital docs will pull on the cord a little to get the placenta out faster, this is SO dangerous, but hey, they've got tons of drugs they can pump into you if they screw you up
Baby getting stuck. I don't really believe there is such thing, not the way tv makes it out to be anyway
Generally, a woman will not make a baby that is too big for her body with the exception of GD. Transverse is the only position that REQUIRES a c-section, no other way to get that baby out, but you would know what position the baby is in before the birth. Shoulder distocia, when the baby gets "stuck" can USUALLY be resolved by changing positions and making the pelvis as wide as posible. Most cases of baby getting "stuck" is caused by women being forced to labor on their backs. The baby basically has to go UPHILL through the birth canal and with the time limits docs force on birth, they time out.
There are some cases where baby can try to enter the birth canal with it's head flexed, and that can cause problems, but it can be easily identified by changes in the HB as detected by a doppler and any good midwife should be able to resolve it. my MW and I were just talking about this last visit, she had a case like that and the HB would shoot up with the contractions, baby was in pain, it's head was flexed back and couldn't get over the pelvic bone, so she had mom sit on the toilet, legs wide, making the canal and pelvic outlet as wide as possible, and the baby slipped past the pelvic muscles and was fine.]
I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you, hope this eases some of your fears. Hope I don't sound like a know it all turd

Johannesburg - A mineworker died at Goldfield's Beatrix mine in the Free State on Wednesday, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said."[A] rockdrill operator died when he drilled into a misfire which then caused an explosion. A winch driver has been wounded in the process," said spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka.A misfire is when a drill hole filled with explosives fails to explode.Another mineworker died in a rock fall at Harmony Gold's Tshepong mine in the Free State on Tuesday.Wednesday's incident brought the total number of mineworkers killed while on duty to 70 this year.Seshoka said union members will be marching to the Chamber of Mines' office on Hollard Street, Marshalltown, in Johannesburg on Saturday to hand over a memorandum demanding that safety must be improved in mines.He called on the mine industry to "put people before profits".
It is very sad indeed that we have been mining for many years in this country and yet we have not masterminded how we can mine smartly without shedding the blood of the innocent.
The safety rules are there. At least on the mines I have worked. People choose to ignore the rules. Then people get hurt. So more rules get made. More rules get ignored.
For example, working at heights at the mines I work at require a trained at heights certification. As soon as the safety officer's back is turned, the workers get slack and sometimes that safety harness is not always fastened to a secure point.
We cannot always blame managment on the mines for the accidents that kill people. Safety measures are put in place to protect workers, but workers choose to take short cuts. The miner in charge of the section should have washed the face down and examined for misfires before marking the face off for drilling, which wasn't done. The DMR should impose heavier fines and even imprisonment for workers who don't adhere to mining rules and regulations
We also have third world people working in a first world environment. The two are not compatible hence the the accidents.
we need to nationalise the mines immediately, this greedy unethical white capitalist must be driven to th sea as a matter of greatest urgency. Amandla, power to the people.
Deep level mining is a very dangerous business and unfortunately like on our roads fatal accidents are unavoidable. All deep level mines must be closed down.

Pair this kit with your speedlite and you're ready to start shooting. This ultimate Apollo kit includes 2 durable 8' light stands, 2 adjustable shoe-mount brackets with built-in tilting function, a 43" octogonal Apollo Orb, a 28" square Apollo Medium, and a heavy-duty gear bag.
Thanks to its deep profile, the Apollo Orb gives your light the room to evenly disperse as it is projected toward your subject. The Orb's circular design simulates the appearance of the sun in your subject's eyes, allowing for pristine portraiture without distracting reflections.
Quickly add dimension to your portraits by utilizing the Apollo Medium as a hair or accent light. This easy 2-light setup will separate your subject from your background for professional imagery.
With a 28" square construction, we designed the Medium Apollo with versatility in mind. This light modifier is large enough to act as a key light source for headshots or product images, yet small enough to act as an accent light, giving you a range of lighting options.
With flexible framework and instant umbrella-style setup, these modifiers are designed for busy photographers. Each Apollo and Halo softbox packs up quickly and can be thrown into any gear bag for effortless travel and storage.
Do you shoot with both types of off-camera flash? Thanks to the Apollo and Halo's versatile umbrella shaft, these modifiers can be instantly paired with both speedlites and strobes. With these softboxes, you won't be confined to using a single lighting style or forced into buying various modifiers.
Unlike most softboxes, these modifiers are constructed with an umbrella-style frame. Not only does this allow for the instant assembly, but it also allows for quick strobe mounting without bulky speedrings or adapters.
Since their introduction in 1985, these umbrella-style softboxes have been enhanced based upon consumer requests. The latest Apollo design features a recessed edge, flexible fiberglass frame, and removable outer diffusion panel.
Our diffusion panels are constructed with a premium, all-natural unbleached nylon fabric. Unlike processed diffusion fabrics, these diffusers will soften your light source without altering its color temperature.
By directing your light source toward the Apollo's included diffusion front, you'll create drastic highlights with a subtle hot spot. By directing your unit towards the back of Apollo, you'll create an even spread of light with softer shadows. You can even pick up an optional 40-degree Egg Crate Grid for more light control options.
Apollo softboxes are manufactured with a highly-reflective silver interior for optimized light output.
"So I have officially jumped on the 28-inch Apollo soft box band wagon!"
Lucas Ridley, Filmmaker
"The 28-inch Apollo is the first light diffuser I grab for all my jobs. I love that it has baffles along the edges to control spill. It is perfect for shooting 1 or 2 people, and its very light."
Sid Ceasar, Sid Ceasar Photography
"The Apollo Orb's unique design takes what I love about umbrellas - soft as heck, easy to use light, easy setup, and softboxes - directional, controllable light, and combines them in a single modifier. Apollo softboxes are the only modifiers I bring with me any more."
Austin Rogers, Fstoppers
"I have a new best friend...at least as far as speedlite modifiers go."
Syl Arena, Pixsylated Blog
"It takes 60 seconds to have a lightstand setup, the Orb put on it, a speedlight set inside it, and the diffusion material added. Try doing that with a normal soft box. Its 43-inch design makes it big enough to give some lovely wrap-around light while also making it manageable for hauling around all day - even if you have a friend-sistant doing it."
Austin Rogers, Fstoppers
"The Apollo really is an awesome modifier and a staple in my lighting kit, both for speedlights and bigger strobes. The biggest advantage is its portability. I shoot mainly on location and to be able to produce this quality of light from such a small package is wonderful. They produce a very soft and even light that I hadn't seen before when using speedlights. That coupled with the added control of a softbox and the recessed front does wonders for eliminating spilled light allowing you to only light what you want. "
Erik Valind, Top Pro Photographer
"In the field and in the studio, I love working with the Westcott Apollo. I pop my speedlite into the Apollo, and immediately have wireless softbox strobe capability. How cool is that! "
Rick Sammon, Top Pro Elite Photographer
"We have used our fair share of cheap and flimsy light modifiers, but the Apollo felt strong and durable while still remaining lightweight. The frame is very sturdy and the soft box material is thick and of great quality."
Sarah Nickerson, Canada Photo Convention Blog
"I use them on a majority of my shoots because I like the quality, control and ease of setup with them. I cherish them because they work with both my studio strobes as well as all my speedlights for my location work. And I absolutely LOVE them because unlike traditional softboxes that require speedrings, the Apollo opens and closes just like an umbrella."
Sid Ceasar, Sid Ceasar Photography
"I can put one, or three speedlights in here to work indoors or outside. I love how it folds like an umbrella and travels with my light-stands perfectly."
Justin van Leeuwen, Top Pro Photographer
"It's a great softbox. Well made. Very inexpensive. Two thumbs way up!"
Scott, Weekly Photo Tips Blog

News story
UK to provide refuge to vulnerable Syrian refugees
- From:
- Deputy Prime Minister's Office, Department for International Development, Home Office, and The Rt Hon Nick Clegg
- Part of:
- Peace and stability in the Middle East and North Africa and Syria
- Published:
- 28 January 2014
- Last updated:
- 29 January 2014, see all updates
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Nick Clegg confirms that the UK will be providing refuge to some of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees.
Announcing the plans, the Deputy Prime Minister said:
I am pleased to be able to announce today that the UK will be providing refuge to some of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees.
The coalition government wants to play our part in helping to alleviate the immense suffering in Syria.
The £600 million we have provided makes us the second largest bilateral donor of humanitarian aid in the world.
But as the conflict continues to force millions of Syrians from their homes, we need to make sure we are doing everything we can.
We are one of the most open hearted countries in the world and I believe we have a moral responsibility to help.
The UN High Commission for Refugees – which backs our new resettlement programme – has said the highest priority should go to women and girls who have experienced or are at risk of sexual violence; the elderly; survivors of torture and individuals with disabilities, so that's who we'll target.
Sadly we cannot provide safety for everyone who needs it, but we can reach out to some of those who need it most.
On top of that, we'll continue to support the peace talks currently taking place in Geneva, because only a political resolution between the Assad regime and Syrian opposition will provide a permanent end to the suffering.
Britain has a long and proud tradition of providing refuge at times of crisis. This coalition government will ensure it lives on.
The UK has already committed £600 million in humanitarian aid to help alleviate the immense suffering in Syria. See updates on UK aid in Syria.

Anyone use LegalZoom to obtain their LLC?
Posted via Mobile Device
way pay them to do something you can do yourself in all of 15 minutes???
Check with your dept of state (website usually) in many states you can download the form, fill it out and take it to the court house with x number of bucks and get it in 10 minutes.
So long as you're a sole proprietor you really can't screw up the paperwork.
I did for mine......$560 bucks and about 15 minutes of time. Couldn't be easier.
Legal zoom. I would never. All I can think of when I see them is OJ.
Thanks for your help! Had no idea I could do it myself. Forms printed out, signed and ready to be mailed. Saved me about $500 bucks. Thanks again.
WHOA! Thats alot of money. An LLC in our "Great" State is 75.00, and when I was starting up with an accountant he printed out all the forms and filled them out and I signed them.
Our LLC cost $460. So it obviously differs from state to state.
You can look at it two ways...all you think of is OJ, or all you think of is, "that's the guy that got OJ off!"
However most murder trial lawyers are not hawking business entity websites.
I did my LLC online for $130.00.
You can also do a business name search to make sure the name is not taken.
I suppose every state is a little different.
Anyone us it for anything else? I need to get a marketing document trade marked before it goes into a magazine article.

Let me start off by saying before trying the Pond's Age Miracle BB Cream, I had foolishly already judged it in my mind and to be honest did not have high expectations for it.
But let me tell you that as far as drug store products go, this is the best BB cream that I have used and will continue to use over and over again. If I compare this product to some of the more expensive brands, this wins hands down.
The Pond's Age Miracle BB Cream has a very silky smooth texture that is flawless after application. It blends really easily into the skin and provides medium coverage. To be honest I have worn this on numerous occasions during the day and did not have to apply concealer because it covered any imperfections sufficiently.
I love that this has an SPF 30 PA++ which means it protects your skin from UVA, UVB and visible light. It is non-greasy and does not clog your pores, which is so important especially if you have an oily skin.
I have nothing bad to say about this BB Cream, my only gripe would be the piddly amount of 25g that is available in the tube, other than that I would highly recommend this product.
The Pond's Age Miracle BB Cream is available across supermarkets in the UAE.
Price: AED30.

When: Sat., Feb. 8, 9:30 p.m. 2014
For the past year or so cellist (and 2013 People Issue subject) Tomeka Reid has been leading a terrific quartet with shifting personnel but consistent instrumentation: cello, guitar, bass, and drums. Also consistent is the strength of the material—lean, elegantly melodic, and briskly propulsive. This weekend Reid will lead yet another version of the group, with bassist Jason Roebke and two New Yorkers, guitarist Mary Halvorson and drummer Tomas Fujiwara. Following the concert, that lineup will record Reid's debut as a leader, which means her fans will finally be able to hear her sophisticated quartet writing on demand—so far the only way to enjoy it at home has been to rely on memories of a show dancing in your head. —Peter Margasak

Cape Town - Rescue teams are searching Table Mountain for a British couple who went missing on Saturday afternoon, SABC news reported.
The two 28-year-olds went missing in the vicinity of Maclear's Beacon.
The search was called off on Saturday night, and was expected to continue on Sunday morning.
Incidents like this are reported far too frequently. Table Mountain is a dangerous hike, even in good weather. Perhaps trails need to be designated and clearly marked with whitewashed stone cairns. Tourists should be given maps and told to report back to the ranger's office by a certain time.
Typical tourist behaviour. If they aren't swimming in our shark infested seas, or running around disturbing the elephants and lions in the game parks, they go tromping around our mountains, squashing the fynbos and scaring the puffadders and cobras. Tsk-tsk.
And once again - the guy who got bitten by the shark was NOT a tourist - he lives here.
@BigMoose.....NOT a very nice comment/comments.Bearing in mind that we need tourists big time in SA maybe try being a little more circumspect when next you comment.As they say Sh$t happens when least expected and it can happen to anyone.
I guess just living here makes you a denial expert which is a huge part of our defence mechanism which justifies living amongst some of the most psychotic criminals in the world. Those who do wake up from the utopia of denial usually pack up and immigrate to Australia, Canada or New Zealand where you are more likely to die from old age than a bullet, knife or other home made weapon.
Reminds me of the tourists who go to Versailles in France and cut pieces off the curtains and scratch their names on the furniture, and those who steal pieces of stone in Roman and Greek ruins ... in other words, tourists do stupid things everywhere, not just those who come to SA.
@ Bigmoose. Fitting name! We need the money they spend in SA. Between zuma & co, we do not have anything left and our only hope is for tourists to bring some in.
Wake up, we live in a dangerous country with 50 murders a day, daily violent armed robberies, countless rapes, car hijackings & other violent attacks! Unfortunately there is evidence that can substantiate that South Africa is extremely dangerous. The likelihood of you getting robbed at gun point in South Africa is a betting mans dream the odds are so good. Unsuspecting tourists are sitting ducks for our hardened free roaming thugs. SA is a lawless dangerous hunting ground for hardened violent criminals who will kill you for a cellphone or less.
I've never been to South Africa and am in no rush to do so. As a rule I prefer to holiday in countries where murder and rape are not part of everyday life. And I know the scenery is great and the climate is similar to that of the Mediterranean, but then again the climate in Italy and Spain is just like the Mediterranean and I don't have to worry about carjackings when I mince around Florence in my socks and sandals.
And if it's so wonderful, post-apartheid, why do the Afrikaaners seem to be building a volkstadt in south-west London?
So I don't claim to be an expert. However, the experts agree that the country is going down the plughole, and even the biased BBC can no longer polish the turd that is the ANC.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha - SABC staff busted over prostitutes in London. Two SABC senior officials were arrested for refusing to pay prostitutes after a hot sex session. They received a R400 000 allowance from the SABC for their trip which they used to splash in clubs and restaurants. Bloggers are having a field day over the scandal. http://mspoliticalcommentary.blogspot.com/
"Pay your license; It is the right thing to do"... Really? Hahahahah Hahahahaha
LOL, scaring the puffadders and cobras....
Shut up and stop criticizing people who you know nothing about and you have no information about why they have gone missing. Please deal with hard facts. We don't want to hear about your stupid, uninformed and unsubstantiated assumptions. Thank you!
A lot of Brits being reported on as to what happens to them whilst they out and about in South Africa.I'm in England for a very long while now and I have to say I hardly ever read of any South Africans misfortunes whilst they here in England on any English News forums.Why so much hype when a couple who nobody really knows or cares for get talked about on here?Why do South Africa feel they have to report on every little incident that takes place in your country?Just let it be.Sometimes that is a good thing.
@marco. It is not "South Africa" reporting. The story is being reported by a news agency - News24.com. If you don't like it, complain to them and not the entire population of the country. Think before you click on "post comment".
Marco... Getting lost on Table Mountain does not happen every day, neither are shark attacks a daily occurrence so yes, news like that does make headlines. The fact that the victims are more often than not from UK says something, too. England is a Nanny State and English safety regulations are so strict (a good thing for UK) that Brits are almost over-protected by these regulations. When they are overseas they are not coddled and wrapped in cotton-wool and they have to think for their own safety... but they have lost their own survival instincts - if you CAN walk on Table Mountain then it MUST be safe... if you can swim from the beaches then it MUST be safe. They should be very aware when out of their Nanny State that they have to think for themselves.
@marco the news media here have to create racial talking points for the dumb stereotypes. It is a case of 'small things amuse small minds'.
Arcturus, well put bro. Brits lead very sheltered lives
They clearly do not watch Bear Grylls!
Perhaps we should get him to do a show on surviving on a mountain surrounded by civilization!
Yes, maybe air drop him in thembisa with an awb sign on his back.
I hope that the couple are found safely. It must have been really cold on the mountain last night.
the poms again, what a useless nation
sure rusty head whatever moron, pom ass licker
We get more "poms" as tourist here than from any other nation.
Many ten's of thousands who work in the tourist industry,
depend on them !!!
What a "useless" South African you are !!!!!
@Ian.....You have just got to love this country.Now it is white having a go at white,that`s what democracy is all about.Ian,when, and not if, the sh#t hits the fan here,you might just be very thankful for the poms as you call them.Don`t forget now!!!!!!!(ps I am a South African)
I see you like metallica and small furry animals...nuf said
Why trying something in a foreign country you dont know.Looking for trouble and causes a lot of expenses to find them.Not very bright of them.Still I hope they will be found as well.
Rusty...stop having a go at BigMoose.....he is 100% right
Am anticipating the anti-SA slant that Sky News will be reporting. They said the shark alarm warning was unable to sound because of a power failure, which is why Mr. Cohen didn't know of the danger. Of course that is not the true story. Same with the Dewani murder when Sky News blared out the triumphant headlines of yet another tourist murder in SA. What about the poor guy (innocent) in Portugal who was accused by a silly woman Sky reporter on Live TV of kidnapping Madeleine McCann, thus ruining his life. Down with Sky News!
Table mountain has very dangerous creatures
they are called dassies . when you touch them you vanish
Lol :)
Lost on a bladdy mountain in the middle of a huge city and taken days to find them. What a good hiding place
"Table mountain has very dangerous creatures
they are called dassies" You forgot the worst ones, MP'S
Well at least the British aren't burning down the mountain with cigarrettes this time, or annoying shark spotters. Still wasting everyones time though. What is it with these Brits.
These things happen to Brits all the time because they are the ones who visit this country in the highest numbers.
Hope they are found soon!
The search was not called off. It continued throughout the night and ended only when the couple were found.

Six Rules to Help You Survive a Violent Attack
Do you know what to do to defend yourself against an attacker? And what happens after it's all said and done? Jeremy Haas with A.R.C.S. Self Defense shared his six basic rules with us on The Best of Times Radio Hour with Gary Calligas.
"I want to be aware of everything that's going on around, or as much of what's going on around me as possible," Haas said. "[Especially] coming in and out of stores, in and out of your home."
You could be distracted by digging in your purse, looking at something, chasing kids. Before you enter or exit your vehicle or a building, have your stuff together, get your keys out, stay off the phone.
"The people that will victimize you, they are professionals at the study of people and behavior," Haas said. "They will stand back, look and watch, and then pick out the target in the crowd. So by being aware, just head on a swivel, knowing what's happening around you, you can head off a lot of that because they don't get the element of surprise."
Mental prep
You need to have the mindset to be prepared to do what you have to do to survive an attack.
"If I'm confronted with somebody that wants something material — my car, my wallet, a purse, whatever that is — the easiest way, usually, to deal with that situation is to hand it over, give them want they want, let them go on their way, while you make distance between yourself and that situation," said Haas.
That could be heading back into a store, running away or something like that. Haas said there isn't anything material that's worth dying for. But if your children or grandchildren are in the car, that's a different story. You have to decide what you're willing to fight for.
Simple reflex training
Your body will do certain things. It's ingrained in you from birth. Haas says it's a natural reflex to get behind your arms and try to protect yourself.
"The same thing will happen when somebody tries to punch you, tries to stab at you. It's the same spots that you see the defensive wounds on the hands and insides of the arms when a person's been stabbed, cause they have their arms up trying to protect the main parts of your body."
A flinch to spur you into a push or a palm or even a finger in somebody's eye that gives the bad guy just enough pause to have to regain his thoughts. During that one to two second time, it allows you to begin to run. So unless you are a specific target, the criminal will likely not try to chase you down.
Physical techniques
These must be simple to learn and easy to replicate. They're based on gross motor skills. Options include martial arts training such as Karate.
"We want to put steps and feet between us," Haas said. "The more room I can put between them, the harder it is for them to catch up with me, the harder they have to work and the longer they have to do it. The longer this goes on, the greater the chances that they're caught or that there are witnesses to see."
You have to be mentally prepared for the aftermath of any attack. Haas told us that after it's all over, there are a lot of things that will go through your mind.
"Some people feel guilty about the fact that they did fight back and hurt somebody, some people feel guilty about the fact they didn't fight back and became a victim," Haas said. "So by prepping on the front side, you should have a lot better understanding of what's going to go through your mind afterwards, so you're a little bit more prepared to deal with the things that take place."
Aftermath could be being prepared to call your credit card company, getting alternate car or house keys made, or calling police. If something does happen and you have to make that 911 call, know what you want to say to dispatchers, so you can give them as much information as possible. That will help authorities catch the bad guy quicker, so what you experienced doesn't happen to anyone else.

Dubai, May 1 : Former Pakistan primer Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan People's Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari were meeting here today to resolve the contentious issue of reinstatement if judges ousted by President Pervez Musharraf last year.
It must be recalled that both the leaders have failed to meet a deadline to resolve the dispute.
"We cannot accept the November 3 action under any circumstances," Sharif told a private television channel before the talks.
"We will not sit with peace until the judges are restored. We are trying our level best that we stay together in the coalition and together return all the judges back to their offices with honour and dignity...I am trying my level best to make sure we fulfil the commitment we made to the nation on the restoration of judges," he said.
"Our parliamentary party and the central working committee will meet to decide about it," Sharif added.

nickname to indicate a very lively person.
Funcke Early Origins
Rhineland and Pomerania, where the name was anciently associated with the tribal conflicts of the areas. The young Funcke family declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending its influence in struggles for power and status within the region. It branched into many houses, and its contributions were sought by many leaders in their search for power. The origins of the name make it likely that several branches of the Funcke family emerged independently in various areas of Germany. The earliest recorded bearer of the name was a knight called Funke, who was living in the town of Rüdesheim in 1280.

21 Australian Trefoil Guild Gathering held in Toowoomba Qld September 2014. 248 participants including 13 Internationals.
Thirteen lucky Trefoil Guild members spent a memorable twelve days at the Guide World Centre "Our Chalet" in Switzerland. The staff and volunteers at Our Chalet, who came from many different countries, made the members very welcome and provided them with a very diverse programme. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, which proves that there are many fantastic women in the world wanting to make a difference.
During the holiday, the ladies met other Trefoil Guild members from England, Canada, Antigua, and Japan. The fun and friendship will be remembered for many years to come. They were able to take part in many activities, from hikes to a wood carver and Engstligen Falls and the magic tree, to games and outdoor cooking. There were many visits to places in the Bernese Oberland, including an amazing train trip to the Yungfrau mountain known as the 'Top of Europe', where they ventured out into very cold temperatures
in ice and snow.
They also visited the Ice Palace, which was filled with ice carvings. Visits included Interlaken, Thun, Blatten and Kippel in the Lotschental Region and an open air museum of Blallenberg.
Back at the Chalet, they took part in an international evening learning about the other visitors and their countries, a Swiss night complete with chocolate fondue, and a Swiss cheese and wine evening.
They all returned somewhat fitter, despite the many cups of hot chocolate and cake, as each day the ladies had to climb the mountain to the Chalet! Members described it as, "All in all a brilliant holiday."

Obama and Bush to Meet Today
November 10, 2008, 1:28 AM GMT
President-elect Barack Obama and President George W. Bush will meet face-to-face today at 2 pm in the White House to discuss the upcoming transition. Atrios highlights a previous encounter between the two men:
"Obama!" Bush exclaimed, according to Obama's account of the meeting in his second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope." "Come here and meet Laura. Laura, you remember Obama. We saw him on TV during election night. Beautiful family. And that wife of yours -- that's one impressive lady."
The two men shook hands and then, according to Obama, Bush turned to an aide, "who squirted a big dollop of hand sanitizer in the president's hand."
Bush then offered some to Obama, who recalled: "Not wanting to seem unhygienic, I took a squirt."
