In most industries, a worker getting sick or injured, while a hardship for the individual, does not pose a huge problem for the business.
But the service industry is different. If a sole proprietor service pro can't cover his or her normal route, how do those pools get clean? And what's going to stop the growth of algae as the chlorine levels slowly drop toward zero? Ultimately, what's to stop a customer from looking elsewhere?
This scenario is a lurking fear for many one-pole service pros across the country. For some, however the worry is lessened by sick route coverage provided by IPSSA, a plan that allows for other service pros to take over the route for a colleague that is temporarily out of commission.
How it works
Sick route coverage is for service professionals that run their entire operation single-handedly and who, through no fault of their own, are suddenly not able to cover the pools and spas they maintain. Typically, in this situation — when a pool pro is unable to take care of their route — pool owners are forced to start looking for a replacement service company as they cannot wait weeks or months for their pool guy to return. The program is structured to have all other chapter members collectively share and cover the sick member's route. The program has a sick route chair for each chapter who coordinates coverage and works hard to ensure that the additional pools are shared out to other members with minimal stress to the group as a whole. The sick or injured service pro keeps from losing their business because other IPSSA members service the pools and pledge not to solicit the pool for their own business gain (if this happens, you are expelled from IPSSA).

Sickness and Health issues
Oftentimes, IPSSA members use sick route coverage because of planned surgeries. One of the most common is knee surgery. Many service pros wear out their knees after years of servicing pools. "Planned surgeries, such as knee replacements, make up at least 50 percent of the instances in which sick route coverage is used," says Sick Route Chairman and IPSSA Vice President Scott Peterson of Peterson Pools in California. Pool pros frequently avoid doing necessary surgeries like knee replacements because of the stress and worry of how to cover their business while they are having the surgery and recovering. IPSSA sick route coverage removes that stress, allowing pros to take the time they need while knowing their business won't fall apart during the time they are away.
For example, not long ago Mark Hickey of All Seasons Pool Service in Lodi, California needed back surgery, and normally would have faced a quandary about what to do with his business while he was recovering. Instead, he says, "The members of the chapter all covered my weekly maintenance accounts until I returned. The professionalism of the work and coordination by the Sick Route chair was amazing. I had no anxiety about my business while I was out. My experience was great and I really appreciate the support of the members of my chapter."
Similarly, Marc Cannon of Rescue H2O in Chandler, Arizona, currently the President of IPSSA, had to have knee surgery last year. "You never think it's going to happen to you, and then it does," he says of the realization he was going to be laid up. Still, Cannon was able to have the surgery without compromising his business due to route coverage.
Accidents happen
Knee, hip and back injuries are common in people who work with their hands, but there are always unexpected accidents as well. Automobile accidents, heart attacks and accidents that happen on the job, are also everyday occurrances.
"We all know that filter lids can blow up in our faces when we service pools," says Peterson. "The pressure that can build up under a lid has been known to break arms and dislocate shoulders."
Peterson recalls the time his chapter "adopted" a service professional who experienced this type of on-the-job accident even though he was not an IPSSA member. "We covered him for 6 months and truly saved his business."
Ultimately, the success of the IPSSA Sick Route Coverage reflects positively on the swimming pool and spa industry as a whole. "If consumers find owning a pool and spa easy with reliable service companies readily available, our entire industry benefits," says Joe Lukacik, Region 7 Director for IPSSA in San Diego, California.
Lukacik himself was a beneficiary of Sick Route coverage when he ended up in a coma after what was supposed to be a routine, scheduled heart operation. Lukacik spent 60 days in the hospital. "My business would not have survived without the help from my IPSSA chapter sick route program. I tried insisting that the guys take financial compensation for what they did for me, but no one would accept. I still get choked up about what they did for me."
Coming together to provide sick route coverage clearly produces benefits beyond the practical matter of servicing pools, adds Brad Jones of AAA Pool & Spa, Torrence, Calif. "After I had my knee surgery, it was heartwarming whenever the guys in the chapter would call to find out how I was getting along," he says. "It is really a very impressive thing when you can rely on the same guys whose pools you have taken care of when they were out."

A few months ago I was talking about my reading to a friend who'd just published his first e-book. I thought he might enjoy Belonging which, I said, features aspects of recent Indian history that appear in fiction less often than Partition, the backdrop to Where the River Parts. Oh, I was there, said my friend – or more eloquent words to that effect. You were there during Partition? quoth I. You should write about it!
As I've been out and about talking about my novel, I've been surprised to meet – in stark contrast to the predominant aversion to spoilers – a couple of people who like to look at the ending, perhaps the last couple of paragraphs, before turning to the first page. Now, I like the ending of Sugar and Snails, although it's been suggested that some might find the issues insufficiently resolved. (I do get asked if I'm planning to write a sequel!) Because it tells of a destination rather than the journey, I don't think reading it in advance would constitute a spoiler (although, prattling on at one talk about how I was pleased with the ending, I did have a friend tell me afterwards she thought my ending wrapped things up too much).
3 routes to a baby: New novels by Rebecca Ann Smith, Helen MacKinven & Pamela Erens
In between celebrating my book's first birthday – and finding the clichéd book-as-baby metaphor more apt than ever – I've had the pleasure of reading three novels about the begetting of real human babies: a debut scientific thriller from England; a second gritty comedy from Scotland; a third novel in the literary genre from the USA. As if the authors have responded to a writing prompt to bring a novel angle to "having" a baby, there should be something for everyone in this selection. If you'd like to recommend any others, you can do so via the comments.
Write in a Flash by L. C. Lara
Two Novels about Bullying and a Craze from Times Past: Bone by Bone by Sanjida Kay & Hush by Sara Marshall-Ball
Humans are social creatures, and the social systems we create can serve as both help and hindrance. Bullying is one of the more disturbing things that can happen when we gather together, but the dark side of human nature can catalyse engaging fiction. In Bone by Bone, childhood bullying is at the core of the novel, while in Hush it's a consequence of a family trauma, but both make for gripping reads. On a lighter note, I've followed these too short reviews with a memory of a more positive aspect of human association, the childhood crazes from which no-one is excluded.
Writers of fiction and creative non-fiction know the value of metaphor. So you might be interested in recent research by Adam Fetterman and colleagues suggesting that life is different for people who think in metaphors. Having developed a means of measuring metaphoric thinking style among students, they found that people rate neutral words as more pleasant when they're printed in a white font than in a black one (evidently, none of their subjects had ageing eyes which renders light print virtually impossible to read); that among those prone to metaphorical thinking, the more sweet food they'd eaten, the more sweet their interactions with others (presumably within limits, I'm not terribly sociable if I'm feeling sick); and that those with a stronger metaphoric thinking style showed greater insight into the emotions of others. As you can see, aside from the fact that many metaphors are actually clichės, I'm a little sceptical about this research but, not having read the full report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, I'm not in a position to argue.
As Valentine's Day approaches and the adverts for flowers, chocolates, romantic getaways – and even adopt-a-veg – ping into my inbox, my thoughts drift to romance. Okay, I'm lying. In truth, my thoughts recoil from the frill and froth, the commodification of love. I can't deny that Valentines can be a lot of fun at a certain stage of life or relationship, but grown-up love is too complex to wrap up once a year with a boxed card with a satin padded heart. Or maybe I'm too much of a cynic?
In my own writing, the dozen or so short stories about couples I've published would constitute an unlikely bunch of red roses. Similary, scanning my bookshelves for novels to mark the big day, nothing jumps out at me as pure romance. Pride and Prejudice earns its place as witty social history (or small-scale politics, or even horror, in its depiction of a world where women had no status independent of the men who held the purse strings); its modern counterpart Bridget Jones was consigned to the Oxfam shop before she could bore me with another instalment of her hopeless diet. I'm not against the boy-meets-girl story, but I want a novel to engage my head as well as my heart. So it's no to romance as genre, and a big maybe to romance as plot.
Yet, looking closer, those romantic subplots keep drawing me in. Perhaps I've got a heart after all. Is there a type of novel that particularly benefits from having romance sewn into the weave?
Romance makes the darkness a little lighter
Any writer submitting her work for publication is supposed to know which genre tick-box it fits. Lucky for me, the rules aren't so rigid for short stories, as I've got a fair few wacky ones I'm not sure how to categorise.
My novels are literary-commercial but my short stories vary with the weather and/or my mood. Many are darkly serious, but there's a smattering of lighter stuff, and sometimes I even raise a laugh. I also have a growing collection of stories which step outside real-world logic, and I don't know what to call them. Launching my virtual annethologies page at the end of last year was my cue to try and sort them out.
The absence of a proper nomenclature didn't matter so much when there was only Tamsin, the woman who woke up on the morning of her wedding to find her neck had grown as long as her arm. Then Selena started being stalked by unnaturally large footprints and plastic took over Jim's allotment, not to mention Adam waiting in the wings for his publication call. But now Sam, an ordinary soldier in a time warp where all the wars of the past century are happening simultaneously, has made his debut, I'm duty bound to give more thought to where they all belong.
The what-if nature renders these stories speculative, although without an entire alternative scientific or mystical world they don't qualify as sci-fi or fantasy. For want of an alternative, I've been labelling them slipstream, a position midway between speculative and literary, with elements of strangeness and otherworldliness. The word feels right for that gentle slip-sliding into another stream of possibility, another dimensional laid across the familiar world.
All fiction asks readers to suspend disbelief to a certain extent; slipstream, as I'm choosing to interpret it, asks them to go a step further, not only to care about made-up characters as if they were real people, but to accept a situation where a single law of physics or history or biology has been turned on its head. By my reckoning, The Time Traveler's Wife meets slipstream criteria, as does Never Let Me Go, both novels where critics have disagreed over genre. After all, we can't slip physically back and forth in time to revisit different versions of ourselves (although we all do that in our minds). And, the demonisation of the poor and disadvantaged notwithstanding, people aren't cloned simply to furnish body parts for the elite.
Well, what do you think? Is slipstream a genre with which you are familiar and, if so, what does it mean to you? Does genre matter anyway? And do share your thoughts on Sam's desire to be a hero if you can.

A few days ago I shared with you Seleena Johnson's new video "A Boss" that featured Patriots' Ocho Cinco as the leading man, well now I'd say he has some stiff competition with another football player for the true Vixen title.
George Wilson, safety for the Buffalo Bills has been doing his thing with the modeling game and has already been featured in Mary J Blige's "We Got Hood Love" music video along with Marsha Amrosius "Late Night Early Mornings" video under his belt. The man is gorgeous. It's hard to see alot of these men under all the armor they wear on the fields, and unless their a media whore like Ocho Cinco, they go under the radar.
Ladies check this eye candy out. See more pics and videos here.
Not that I would really care to see this hat on any man in real life, but this picture is definetely my favorite out of the bunch.
Mr. Wilson is a 6-foot athlete, fashion model, and entrepreneur hailing originally from Paducah, KY. And he's not a dumb jock. He's got a degree in Business Management ater graduating from the University of Arkansas with. And now the 30-year-old currently resides in Atlanta in the off-season.

Motion = Commotion
All of the sudden things got a little more "hands on" or I guess you could say "Hands off ______!" (insert name of choice) around here. Here's some pictures that illustrate my point….
The exersauser is much more fun when you turn it upside down, and crawl inside. Right, Henry?
This called for a "Not-So-Extreme Home Makeover – Murray Edition". While I was grocery shopping Brad re-vamped our guest room in a few short hours into a baby proof playroom for the munchkins. The next day we first purchased our first gate – nice! It's been such a relief to have a safe place for them to play and it's been fun to watch them interacting with each other. So many people warned us about "wait 'til their mobile" and while it has presented some new challenges – we are LOVING it! It's a wonderful stage filled with fun- they are getting more independent each day.
Here's a video showing our new room in ACTION!
Hope you've enjoyed our beautiful chaos and commotion.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Death and immigration greatly reduced Ireland's population in the 19th century. For the native Irish people poverty, hunger, and racial prejudice was common. Therefore, thousands left their homeland to seek opportunity in North America. Those who survived the journey and the quarantine camps to which they arrived, were instrumental towards building the strong developing nations of the United States and the future Canada. By far, the largest influx of Irish settlers occurred with Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s. These were employed as construction or factory workers. An examination of passenger and immigration lists has shown early immigrants bearing the name larkink: William Larkin, who settled in Boston in 1630; Elizabeth Larkin, who settled in Virginia in 1637; Benjamin Larkin settled in Annapolis Maryland in 1720.

Is there any way of finding out who owns the property offering a flat for rent ?
I am looking for a flat to rent in London and have been on Gumtree, I received an e-mail from someone offering me a lovely flat ...the only problem is she's saying she lives in Birmingham and doesn't want to waste her time travelling to London unnecessarily. My dilemma is she asked me to get a western union transfer set up and that once view property if liked could sign contract after getting money out. I think it sounds dodgy but she could be telling truth, I'm sure there is a way to find out owner of said flat in London ???? Thank you

I think you are right to be wary and I would not set up the transfer. You can find out who owns a flat using the Land Registry Website for a fee of £4.00. The best advice I can offer is to stick to ARLA registered agents, which I am sure there are a few in your area.Answered on Nov 23 2010, Report content
All western union transactions on Gumtree are a scam, so please do not enter in to anything with this woman. You only pay money on the day of completion and when you have the keys in sight. For future reference if you know the full address and postcode you can find out who owns the property from The Land registry.Answered on Nov 24 2010, Report content
This is a scam that has been going on for some time now, there is another identical one at the moment from a lady who says she is a doctor living in Ireland and you have to pay 1 month's rent via Western Union to your best friend/brother/sister etc and email the scanned recipt to her then she will arrange to come over to London to show you the flat knowing she is not wasting her time!! It is a con. Never ever part with any money unless you are sure that the person you are dealing with is reputable. Another one I have heard of recently is a landlord who meets his client at the property, takes 1 month's rents and gives him a set of keys but tells him he cannot move in until next weekend, the client tries to move in the following weekend only to find that the keys do not fit and there was someone living there who knew nothing about it. You are better off dealing with an agent who has an office that you can meet them at so you know you are dealing with real people.Answered on Nov 24 2010, Report content
Under no circumstance set up the transfer, it sounds like an increasingly common scam. The other answers are right about land registry so you can verify, maybe more a case of trading standards!Answered on Nov 24 2010, Report content
Hi there, I do not think that you should proceed with the flat. A friend of mine was asked to transfer £300 through Western Union before even viewing the property. Once this was done the so called Landlord was no longer contactable and she lost the entire amount. You can find out the owner of any property by logging into the landregistry.gov.uk website and it costs £4.00 to get this information. If in doubt, use a reputable Lettings Agent who will have carried out all the relevant safety checks on your behalf.Answered on Dec 14 2010, Report content

We describe the process leading to the creation of the Cooperative of Reforestation Workers of Far Southern Bahia (COOPLANTAR), a cooperative that specializes in restoration of the Atlantic Forest in the Monte Pascoal-Pau Brasil Ecological Corridor in southern Bahia, Brazil, and provides job and income for members of local impoverished communities. We discuss the achievements of the cooperative, difficulties it has faced, and its prospects for future sustainability and expansion. © 2010 by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System.

Natureza a Conservacao | Year: 2011
We propose a new methodology based on graph theory for selecting high priority "anchor areas" to which conservation and restoration activities could be "attached", in order to maximize the impact of the available resources on biodiversity conservation and on increasing the landscape functional connectivity. Anchor areas are defined as habitat fragments which are among the largest present in the landscape and the most important for maintaining the landscape functional connectivity, as quantified by the Integral Index of Connectivity (IIC). Recommended actions include increasing the protection of the anchor areas and restoring smaller fragments in their neighborhood whose size and placement make them convenient "stepping stones" in the establishment of ecological corridors between the anchor areas and other areas with a potentially high biological importance. We illustrate our approach with an analysis of the sizes and functional connections between remaining forest fragments in the "Mesopotamia of Biodiversity", a portion of Brazilian Atlantic Forest with an especially rich biodiversity situated between the rivers Jequitinhonha and Doce. © 2011 ABECO.

Lawsuit Claims School Prevented Boy From Wearing Jesus Costume for Halloween
According to a FoxNews story, a Christian legal group has sued a school district on behalf of a 10-year-old boy who claims his rights to religion and free speech were violated when he was not allowed to wear a Jesus costume during Halloween activities. The Alliance Defense Fund says Willow Hill Elementary School told the boy that he could not wear his false crown of thorns or tell others he was dressed as Jesus, citing promotion of religion. However, while the boy's was rejected for its religious nature, the principal allowed other students to dress as witches and devils. The boy and his mother are Christians who object to the pagan elements of Halloween, but the mother did not want the boy isolated for refusing to wear a costume.
Egypt Detains Copts after Anti-Christian Attack
Police detained Christian families in Upper Egypt and forced them to deny arson attacks on their homes during a spate of anti-Christian violence last week, the families said. Two Coptic Orthodox families said police detained them for 36 hours when they attempted to report a February 13 assault on their homes in Armant, 600 kilometers (373 miles) south of Cairo. The fires came five days after Muslim groups set four Christian-owned shops alight on February 9. International media reported that rumors of a love affair between a Christian man and Muslim woman sparked the violence, but local papers said hostilities began over accusations that Christians were blackmailing Muslim women to convert. Authorities detained the Christians when they tried to report the February 13 arson attack on their homes. "Police asked them to sign statements that they had attempted to set their own homes on fire to claim that they were being attacked by Muslims and to demand police protection," one source told Compass Direct News.
Attorney General Launches Religious Freedom Initiative at SBC Meeting
U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales met with Southern Baptist leaders Feb. 20 to unveil a new Department of Justice initiative aimed at educating Americans about their religious liberties and to ask for the Southern Baptist Convention's help in identifying and reporting abuses of those liberties, Baptist Press reports. Gonzales noted that he is charged by the president with "protecting and preserving not only the safety and security of all Americans, but also their rights, liberties and freedoms," including "one of our most cherished freedoms, one we've sacrificed greatly to defend... our religious liberty." Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, applauded Gonzales' action. "The attorney general's desire to address a major meeting of SBC leaders to announce this initiative shows both the importance of the issue and the commitment of the justice department at the highest levels to defend every individual American's religious freedom rights, particularly their free exercise rights, which are too often infringed. This initiative is needed and should make a real difference." Among the cases included in the report is one defending the right of senior adults to pray, sing religious songs and hold Bible studies at a community senior center.
Mozambique Floods Endanger Thousands
Cyclone Favio (equivalent to a category 3 hurricane) is quickly closing in on an already disaster-stricken region of Mozambique, and Operation Blessing relief teams are bracing for the worst. In the community of Canga, villagers told OBI relief teams that three children had already died from starvation due to the recent floods. OBI's assistant director of international programs, David Darg, is on the ground in Mozambique. He reports that the flooded areas stretch on both sides of the Zambezi River as far as the eye can see. An air assessment near Caia spotted a white flag with a red cross and a group of 1,200 people standing underneath it, screaming and signaling at the passing helicopter. A local Red Cross representative was among the stranded; it was his idea to erect the flag. All this week, OBI and German partner, Humedica, have been working with Mercy Air to travel by helicopter over flood-ravaged areas and locate pockets of survivors huddled on "islands" created by rising floodwaters. OBI teams are making daily deliveries of food, medical aid, tarps, blankets and other relief items.

DNV GL certified STAUFF replacement filter elements
In January 2017, the DNV GL Group approved an extensive part of the replacement filter elements range from the STAUFF SFK series (i.e. screw-in and push-in cartridges in stainless steel and plastic versions) for use in single, double and automatic filters.
These filter elements are developed and manufactured in Germany. Among other things, they are used for pre-filtration of fuels in industrial motors from numerous renowned international manufacturers. But they are equally suitable for use with hydraulic and lubricating oils, coolants, chemicals and water.
By issuing the type examination certificate, the shipping classification society with headquarters in Hamburg (Germany) confirms the suitability of the filter elements for use in the marine and offshore industry in compliance with the strict company guidelines.
Feel free to request a free copy of the approval for your records at www.stauff.com/en/dnvgl.

EVE Online is a massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) set in a science-fiction based, persistent world. Players take the role of spaceship pilots seeking fame, fortune, and adventure in a huge, complex, exciting, and sometimes hostile galaxy.
A nominal monthly subscription is charged for each player's account; users are responsible for their own Internet service fees. EVE is not a stand-alone, single player game and can only be played online. Unlike most MMOGs that split a large player base up among small clones of the same game world (called "shards") containing no more than 3,000 people, EVE is unique in that all of its players inhabit the same game world.
This is a free trial with limited skill training and ship restrictions; EVE Online costs $14.95 per month to play thereafter.

'Survivor' Recap: The Facts of Life
You take the sick, you take the poor
You take them both and they're here for
The game of
Survivor, the game of Survivor
There's a time Jeff Probst has to go and host
And tell the tribes to jump off a boat on
The game of
Survivor, the game of Survivor
When the idols never seem
To be hidden right under your door
Suddenly you're finding out
The game of
Survivor is actually hard (Ha-ha-ha-hard)
You have have to Outwit, Outlast, OutplayWhen you're playing the game of Survivor
Playing the game of Survivor
Playing the game of Survivo-oooooooooor
As you might be able to tell from my awful rerendering of the Facts of Life theme song, there is only one thing I care about on the new season of Survivor, and that is Blair. Well, mere mortals and young children under the age of 30 call her Lisa Whelchel, because that is her real name. And as far as they know, she's a gay-hating Jesus freak. But the rest of us know that she played Blair in about 10 quadrillion special episodes of the most unrealistic show to star George Clooney that has nothing to do with robbing casinos.
Blair is probably the second most famous person to play the game after that guy from the Cowboys who played a couple of years ago. Jimmy something. Whatever, I don't know about sports people. Speaking of which, there's some baseball player, Jeff Kent, who is playing too. Whatever, good for him. I have no clue who he is, because he has not been on a television program beloved by millions and saved by Cloris Leachman. But, damn, this season is just lousy with famous people.
It's not just those two that are familiar faces. This season also brings back three survivors who had to be medically evacuated from the show, a twist that seemed built to bring back gay Republican villain Colton from last season but here is the first episode and there is not one, "Heeeeeeyyyyyyy," to be heard, so I don't know what's up with that. Instead we get Mike Skupin, who fell in the fire during season two; Russell Swan, who suffered from severe dehydration 2009; and Jonathan Penner, who has played twice already, but got evacuated the second time during Hero. I think this is a good twist, because those people who got medi-vaced out will always wonder what happened if they could have finished the game. But not Penner. Oh no, sorry. We know what happens when Penner plays the game uninjured, he gets voted out. That is what happens in his first season. Why does he get another chance? I know why, because Jeff Probst loves him and thinks he's good TV. More and more this game is just about the whims of Probst, like this one and future talk show host is the king and all these people are just jester's for his amusement. Sorry, Jeffy P, but not everyone agrees with you.
Alright, so everyone is on a boat and each injured survivor gets a tribe. I'm not even going to bother remember the tribe names because they are always hard to spell and pronounce and we just call them based on whatever color their buff is anyway, so I'm not even going to engage in the colonial imperialism of giving a bunch of rich mostly-white Americans the names of the indigenous people. Instead, I will call Russell's team, Team Ponytail, because everyone on that team, even the men and women with short hair, seem to have ponytails for some reason. I will call Penner's team, Team Lesbian because I can not differentiate between Dana and Carter, who look like members of some sort of Sapphic boy band and both have the frosted tips for it. The team with Blair on it is Team Blair because, obviously. And if you didn't know, that is the team we are rooting for.
So, everyone is on a boat and Probst is like, "OK, you have 30 seconds to grab as much food and as many supplies as you can and then you have to row this raft to shore." Everyone scrambles around, but then they put their crap on the raft and everything just falls into the ocean. Apples and oranges sink. Firewood bobs soggily in the waves. Chickens drown. Probst just stood there on the deck laughing at their misfortune. They were never meant to have any of this, this was just to make them jump around. Oh, his little jesters all. Dance, little jesters, dance.
Everyone paddles to shore and as soon as Team Ponytail drags their raft onto the shore, Russell says, "Just to get this out there, I don't want to be the leader. That's what happened to me last time, and I know you guys are thinking about making me the leader, but I don't want it." Everyone sort of rolls their eyes and is like, "Um, did you see that chicken drown?" Then Malcolm, a tall slab of beef took off his shirt and every admirer of the male form just stopped in their tracks and had to stare slack-jawed for a minute. Oh, that Malcolm and his his perfectly chiseled form, handsome face, and ponytail. Malcolm, I would like you to be my leader. I would let you lead me anywhere (particularly under a bush somewhere for some alone time).
As for leaders, Team Ponytail doesn't have one, but Russell sure is bossing everyone around. TP also has another hard working member: Zane. He told us at the top of the show that he has a Frankenstein tattoo and like Frankenstein, he will either give a little girl a flower or strangle you. Well, that was interesting. Everyone loves Zane and he makes an alliance with everyone on the beach and then goes up to Russell (who is not a leader) and Malcolm (who I want to be my leader) and says, "I made alliances with everyone here. But I really want to make an alliance with you." Zane is the typical player who plays too hard right out of the gate.
Speaking of which, so is Penner, who is already looking for a hidden immunity idol over at Camp Lesbian. Everyone else doesn't like him and wants to vote him out as soon as possible (including Baseball Dude, who injured himself trying to save a drowning chicken) but he doesn't care because he's gonna get an idol. He even figured out that the clue was in the bag of rice. Now he just has to find the damn thing.
Over at Team Blair, Blair is in the ocean wearing her entire outfit including her jeans. There is nothing more uncomfortable than wading in the water in soaking denim. It is less comfortable than a colonoscopy. It is less comfortable than getting punched in the face while nursing a sore tooth. It is less comfortable than the conversation Blair will one day have to have with her son when he comes out as gay. Actually, that might be more uncomfortable. Maybe. Blair isn't fitting into the tribe so well. Meanwhile her tribemates Abi (who, I believe is the actual girl from Ipanema), RC (who is named after a cola), and Pete (who is the second runner up to be my leader if and only if my current leader Malcolm can not meet his leadership duties for any reason whatsoever) are already getting an alliance together. They ask Skupin to join, because having good old Fire Hands on your alliance is a good luck charm.
Skupin tells us that this year he's "Going with the game." It's something he learned at a corporate off-site retreat right after doing trust falls. "Go with the game." He tells us once again. If they want to play slow, play slow. If they want to play fast, play fast. Wait, did he learn this at a Successories™ conference or from a How to Please Your Partner in 10 Easy Steps article from Cosmo? Whatever, that is his new philosophy: "Go with the game."
We got all your standard camp life shots about building fire, putting together a shelter, and Russell telling everyone that he's not the leader, but they should do what he says. The weird thing is that Skupin is the only one on his tribe culturally literate enough to know who Blair is and he confronts her about it. She says, "I don't want to tell people because everyone always liked Jo better and I can't deal with another blow to my self esteem. Also, my jeans are really itchy and stuck to my legs." Skupin keeps her secret. Over at Team Lesbian, someone named Dawson (who is a girl) figured out who Baseball Guy is. She's not telling anyone either. If I were Dawson, I would sell him up the creek. Get him to stand out and take the heat off you. That's how you survive week one.
They go to the challenge and each team has to split into pairs. One pair will run to get some oars. The second pair will paddle out to a giant box and then bring it back to shore, and the final pair will solve the puzzle based on the pieces in the box. Everyone breaks into pairs easily except Team Ponytail. "Now, I'm not the leader, but I suck at puzzles and rowing, so I'm going to run. With, Um. Zane. You two girls solve the puzzle." "But Russell, we suck at puzzles and we both ran track in high school." "Well, who cares. You're on puzzle duty. I'm not the leader, but you have to do this. Malcolm, you row with this lady whose name I mean to learn in the next week or so. OK. Go Team. Break!"
Yes, this means that Russell's team is going to lose and he's probably going home. Challenge, challenge, challenge, boring, boring, boring, and Team Lesbian wins by a frosted tip, after decimating Team Blair's huge lead. They come in second. They both get prizes. Jeff Probst says, "So, little jesters, what went wrong?" Russell responds, "Well, I'm not the leader, but I made the wrong decision and now we have to pay the price."
Back at camp, Russell says, "OK, everyone, put down your things and gather round. I know I'm not your leader but I have to say what happened out there today…" "Hold on one minute," Zane pipes up. "I sucked out there and I just quit smoking. You should send me home." "Well, that settles that," Russell says.
But, no, that does not settle that. Zane does not want to go home. He just wants everyone to convince him to stay and then vote out Russell and then that means that they all want him there really bad and then he will be running the game from here on out. That's what he said. Basically it's like that girl who is always like, "God, I'm so fat!" so you have to say, "No, you're not fat," to validate her when all it does is annoy you that she is trying to make you tell her she's not fat when she knows all along she's not fat. Also, this is playing too hard. The object of week one is to not be too much of a jerk or too old or too bad at challenges or not Blair and just stay in the game. Everyone would have totally voted Russell out if he kept his mouth shut.
According to his plan some blonde chirpy bird comes up to him and is like, "I like you. Stay. We'll kick out Russell." And he says, "I don't know man." On the inside he's grinning thinking his plan is working. Then Malcolm (swoon) comes up to him and says, "Look at my pecs. Aren't they perfect? Aren't they just lightly dusted with fur? Don't you want to touch them? I bet you do. Oh, and you should stay. Let's kick out Russell." And Zane says, "I don't know, I think he might have an idol." Malcolm says, "Uh oh. The beach is thattaway," and he flexes his bicep and points toward the water for no particularly good reason.
They get to tribal council and Russell says, "Well, Jeff, I'm not a leader. I'm more of a chief. Actually, I'm kind of like a dictator. I don't want to be a dictator or a chief, and I'm definitely not the leader, but…hold on, I'm speaking right now…I just keep controlling things, not because I'm a leader, but because I am an autocrat at this breakfast table and, yeah, that's it. You can talk now."
Jeff goes to count the votes and we think Russell is going to get the axe and that Zane actually pulled his stupid plan off, but, no. He did not. This was perhaps the worst, most complicated plan in Survivor history that happened week one and did not involve a hidden immunity idol. Let's break it down. Zane thought he could say he wanted to go home, then have everyone convince him to stay, then get them to vote out Russell, tell them Russell had an idol, and still convince them to keep him. Where does that make any sense? The Negative Zone? Bizarro World? Big Brother? Nowhere!
Back on the beach, Blair was waddling around in her jeans, which were starting to dry but were caked with sand. It was just everywhere, chafing around her knees and the folds where her leg meets her hip, under the waistband. Oh, this game was hard. It was harder than a sitcom, harder than defending her beliefs, harder than writing children's books. She did the one thing she could think of and knelt down to pray. "Jesus," she said. "Please help me to win this game. I can only do it through your grace. Please, dip your hand in and help me." She waited a minute in the dark night, darker than anything she had seen before but still with a faint glow, like after getting your picture taken and the flash just lingers, keeping the real world at bay. "Blair!" she heard coming out of the clouds. "Is that you, Jesus?" she asked. "Yes, it is Blair. And you don't need my grace to win. You need to make these damn people like you. Get in this game and make some friends. Otherwise they're just going to kick you out as soon as they can. Oh, and take your damn jeans off. That is just getting disgusting."
"I will," she said. "Thank you, Jesus." Yes, we all said. Thank you, Jesus.

This is quite the renowned brand of weed grinders, truth be told. Maybe not of "all time" in light of its competition, but it's certainly a top notch name in the grinder field for sure. The grinder market just wouldn't be the same without the Space Case brand around. In our opinion it is simply the best grinder you can buy today.
As far as grinders are concerned, you'll be hard-pressed to find one that's better than the Space Case Grinder. What it brings to the table is quality grinding action characterized by precision and quantifiable results. What's more, it's coated in titanium and aerospace-grade aluminum, which ensures it will last, rust-free, for a long, long time. It most certainly is a worthwhile buy since it's the cream of the crop in its field. It comes at a lofty price, though, so brace yourself.
>> Click here to get the latest best price for a Space Case Grinder available on Amazon.com and to see more reviews >>
The Space Case difference is this: Superb construction with components that are made only from the finest materials around. The special titanium-hard anodized finish makes these Space Case products tougher and more heavy duty than it's purely aluminum competition.
If you want a grinder that won't fall apart on you after a few uses, then the Space Case Grinder is the way to go. If you want a grinder that has the eye of the tiger and can go the distance and take the challenge of its rivals, then look no further than the Space Case brand. It grinds harder than the average grinder too, with its super-sharp teeth that never dulls out and are quite durable to boot. You'll have to put a concerted effort to even dent or scratch this piece of grinding perfection.
The Space-Case Grinder isn't without its flaws. Even though it's filled with features such as Teflon O-rings, strong magnetic lids, and a titanium finish to its aluminum construction, you will still get the common complaint of it being pricey evenamong its staunchest of supporters.
The Space Case Grinder can be quite expensive, but when you think about it, it's not without due cause. It's cost-effective in a sense that it brings the most bang for your buck or the most value to your investment. You should also watch out for fakes, since this gets a lot of imitators as well. You should always check if the "Space Case" brand is on the lid; that way, you know you're getting the real deal when you buy it.
Quality comes at a price, but this review reassures that it's a price worth paying for. You won't be a space case for buying Space Case because it's a grinder that's truly proven itself and then some. It's one of the best in the market today exactly because it's filled with all sorts of features and specs that give it an edge (literally and figuratively) against its competition, from its strong magnets to its titanium coating over corrosion-proof aluminum. It lasts long and it even has sharpened grinder blades that make grinding a cinch. Thanks to the Teflon O-rings, the metals are protected from the wear-and-tear of friction after every grind. Your buds won't have tiny shavings of aluminum dust mixed together with them either. It's a smooth blend all throughout.

Does anyone out there know where the images for Previous Record, Next Record, First Record and Add New Record that you can add to a command button to do your own smart navigation are kept on your hard drive and what they might be named? Please see my attachment for further explanation. Thank you in advance for your replies and your time

Just do your own ... Use IconForge, MS Paint, or whatever to make your button images ...Back to Access ... ADO is not the way to go for speed ...

There's a great book by Getz which gives some good examples. You may also be able to find some samples via googling it.Expert Database Programming

British Airways deal 'will boost Heathrow service' from Belfast
The acquisition of Aer Lingus by British Airways' owner IAG will improve the service for passengers flying between Belfast and Heathrow, it has been claimed.
Aer Lingus chief commercial officer, Mike Rutter, said it is currently working with its new sister airline BA to ensure it can maximise the selection of flights available to customers.
Questions have been raised over the long-term future of the Aer Lingus route between Belfast City Airport and Heathrow after IAG bought Aer Lingus earlier this year. Between the two airlines, there are nine routes to Heathrow every day.
The route is of crucial importance to the business community in Northern Ireland.
Mr Rutter said: "Our plan is to enhance the timetable. It is the sensible thing to do.
"You may have two flights departing within 10 minutes of one another and we're looking at making best use of the resources to provide customers with greater selection and the most competitive prices.
"You might instead have flights leaving every hour or so, so you are almost back to the days of the shuttle service."
Mr Rutter said customers searching on the Aer Lingus website for flights between Belfast City Airport and Heathrow may be offered alternatives being run by BA and vice versa.
"For example, you might fly out on one airline and return on the other depending on what is cheaper or a more convenient time," he said.
"We're working on that at the moment although it will take us a couple of months to be able to iron all that out."
Earlier this year, Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive, gave reassurances over the future of the brand.
Mr Walsh said its base and management team will remain in Ireland but will grow as part of a strong, profitable airline group.
"This means new routes and more jobs benefiting customers, employees and the Irish economy and tourism," he said.
