hdd consistency failures,intermittently since windows updates
Hi again, so i originally posted here on monday the 23, had installed 7 updates from windows, and then system rebooted, upon reboot system said it hard drive inconsistencies and needed to chk. confirmed hhd with tech from HP there 2 hr test said it was all good. then windows ran sfc, with no errors or repairs noted. windows then loaded an came up, was advised here to restore to previous point and install updates 1 per which I did, opened browser and ran programs before rebooting and installing next update. Thru all off these updates, windows update showed no installation issues. Never had another issue until this morning, then had system running, performed restart, and windows consistency concern came up again, seems to like to freeze at 1 sec left before starting scan, held spacebar to skip, scheduled sfc from with windows and restarted, sfc ran, again no issues noted, windows loaded normally. restarted again without issues and came here for advice. And just for added pressure in my world I have 5 days warranty left on my laptop.

Hi -
I suggest that you run more HDD diagnostics.
Start with SeaTools (for DOS) --> SeaTools | Seagate
Burn ISO to CD with ImgBurn --> The Official ImgBurn Website
Boot with SeaTools CD.
If SeaTools comes up OK, run HDD manufacturer's diagnostics --> Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.
Regards. . .

ok, have run the long lest on seatools for dos, came back ok. my hdd is a seagate so I guess i have 4 days for for it to fail again. seems to me that running sfc corrects the problem without saying that it found a problem. any way to recreate this problem or just usage ?

|27 Aug 2010
Hi -
Given 4 days left on warranty, I would reinstall Windows 7 at this time. A fresh OS would help better determine if hardware is faulty.
Ironically, I had similar experience with my HP dv7-1020us laptop - HDD. I got similar messages as you have reported. HP said all OK. Within 6 months (after warranty expired), the HDD went and had to be replaced.
Reinstall Windows 7. Upon reaching Desktop, allow ALL Windows Updates in -
See if same problems occur.
Regards. . .

Thank You, have been investigating new drives, the hoops required for the warranty are not enjoyable, just talking about warranty is painful with them. have been looking at the Seagate hybrid 7200.1 4gb of flash memory, 32 mb cache. Any thoughts on this drive ? And again thank you for your thoughts.
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2010
Btw, have done clean install, updated no issues so far. An HP blamed this on bad windows update, easier than warranty I guess.

Hi -
I'm glad to hear that all is well after reinstall.
Good Luck to you.

Awarded by Public Works and Government Services Canada in 2012, the agreement was put in place as a contracting mechanism to allow Federal Departments to efficiently access top consultants for remote northern work. We've been called to consult on over 20 complex and very remote sites in the north including mine closure and reclamation projects for Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. We have been actively involved in the closure of the Giant Mine, among others. With offices in Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, and many years of northern work experience, Stantec knows the many risks that need to be addressed. A series of detailed work protocols and a quality plan were designed for the agreement based on our ISO9001:2008 standards, with weekly reviews implemented. We've modified standard work procedures, like using portable drills instead of large rigs, to better manage the conditions. Aboriginal opportunity plans for each call up also ensure that local workers and businesses in the community get involved.
In some cases, we had to propose flexible solutions and modify the scope of work to provide the "best bang for the buck" with available budgets – but we've succeeded. Our deliverables have been on time, on budget, and in line with objectives, despite the many complexities that working in the remote north can bring.

The first round of the 2014 NFL draft had its fair share of surprises in addition to some picks that had seemed like possibilities for much of the draft process. Here is my take on the teams that made the best picks in Round 1 plus some other observations from the opening night of the draft.
Jacksonville Jaguars: UCF QB Blake Bortles at No. 3
The Jaguars might have finally found their answer at quarterback. We didn't have the highest grade on him in the world -- our top-ranked quarterback, but with only a mid-to-late first-round grade -- and he would be best-served to sit for a year so he can acclimate to the NFL and make the necessary improvements to his throwing mechanics. But he'll have the opportunity to do that in Jacksonville this season behind Chad Henne, and he has the potential to develop into a very good NFL quarterback in time. Moreover, the Jaguars did a good job of keeping their intentions with the No. 3 pick under wraps and were able to stay home and get the guy they wanted all along.
St. Louis Rams: Auburn OT Greg Robinson at No. 2, Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald at No. 13

Malaysia - A Nigerian, caught at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) with a stash of drugs in his stomach, pleaded guilty to having 389.8gm of methamphetamine and slapped with 18 years jail by the High Court here.
Francis Ikenna Nwannochie, 27, was also ordered to be given 10 strokes of the cane by Justice Datuk Abdul Alim Abdullah after he pleaded guilty to drug possession at the Customs inspection counter at the KLIA arrival hall in Sepang between 11pm on Feb 29, 2012 and 6.55pm on March 2, 2012.
The judge, who ordered Nwannochie's jail term to run effective from the date of arrest, said the latter was lucky to get away with an alternative charge of drug possession instead of the initial drug trafficking charge that carried the death sentence upon conviction.
According to the facts of the case, Nwannochie was detained on Feb 29, 2012 when Customs authorities noticed him walking in a suspicious manner.
On March 1, 2012, he was brought to the Serdang Hospital where an X-ray showed the presence of a foreign lump inside his stomach. The lump was later found to consist of 54 capsules of methamphetamine.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Harris Ong Mohd Jeffery Ong appeared for the prosecution while counsel L. A. Gomes represented the Nigerian.

So the details of that eBay lawsuit against Craigslist are out: it all comes down to Kijiji.
Craigslist nullified some of eBay's shareholder rights because Kijiji is a competitor. eBay says that is not fair, and in the suit claims Craigslist went too far in diluting those rights.
Craigslist told then eBay chief executive Meg Whitman that it was not comfortable having eBay as a shareholder, to which Whitman responded that eBay loved Craigslist and "would welcome to opportunity to acquire" the rest of the company.
Craigslist - so eBay claims - reorganised shares and tried to exercise 'right of first refusal' clauses on eBay's share - and did not inform eBay of these changes.
Photo by creativecommons on Flickr. Some rights reserved.
Valleywag is traditionally severe in its appraisal of the situation: "It reveals Buckmaster and Newmark's naked greed: They issued shares of the company to themselves to increase their stakes and decrease eBay's.But it also shows how tight the two have been with Craigslist's workers."
Owen Thomas goes on to say that Newmark and Buckmaster issued themselves one new share for every five they already owned - that pushed eBay's share down to 24.85% and below the threshold at which eBay is eligible to elect a director for the Craigslist board.
"Do the math, and it becomes clear that Craigslist's other shareholders - presumably its employees - own about 3.3% of the company. That's a miserably small portion of equity to give employees of a tech startup; normally, about 20% of a company's equity is reserved for employees."
Claiming that Newmark and Buckmaster are "operating Craigslist as their own private money-making machine" goes so far against the perception of Craigslist (and, I have to say my experience of Newmark particularly) but Thomas claims much of this eBay "Machiavellian scheming" is down to Buckmaster.
Still, Craigslist has to go someway before it ranks alongside eBay in "revolting" audiences. I mean that in the revolutionary sense, obviously.

The right training for the right crew
Written by Michael Henson | With thanks to IMSA, PYT & Beyond Limits Training
Last updated: 20/03/2017
The superyacht industry is an exciting and rewarding choice of employment and crew training is essential for life at sea.
Whether it's your first job in the maritime industry, or you're looking to progress in the yachting world, crew training ensures new recruits hold the essential skills that may be needed in an emergency at sea.
Here is a guide to the qualifications that are needed for each role aboard a superyacht, and the expected duties of these roles.
Understanding yachting qualificationsUnderstanding the different yachting qualifications that are required for any given role on board a superyacht can be a daunting task.
To help you to meet the requirements for a role on board a superyacht, or to progress in your current role, you may wish to enrol on a specialist yachting course, a list of which, can be seen below: Remember, STCW 95 and ENG1 qualifications are mandatory for crew safety no matter what the position.
Search certified crew training providers here.
Mandatory Certificates
- STCW certificates – These consist of personal survival techniques; fire prevention and fire fighting; basic first aid; and personal safety and social responsibility.
- ENG1 Seafarer medical certificate - You must have an ENG 1 or an ML5 seafarer medical fitness certificate to work at sea. A Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) approved Doctor must issue all applicants with an ENG 1 certificate.
Additional Courses
- Yacht Rating
- Master 200gt
- Yachtmaster Theory
- Yachtmaster Practical
- Sea Survival
- Navigation Radar
- General Ships Knowledge
- Oral Preparation
- Navigation and Radar
- Stability
- Medical Care On board Certificate
- Business and Law, Seamanship
- Oral Preparation (500T)
- Oceanmaster Theory
- Advanced Firefighting
- Medical First Aid
- Oceanmaster Cert
- Ships Cook Assessment
- Food Hygiene (HABC level 2 and 3)
Superyacht job roles: What am I qualified for?
A deckhand is an entry-level role for employment aboard a superyacht. A sailing qualification is not essential, but will always be preferred, helping you to stand out among the competition.
In the majority of cases, a deckhand may be required to undertake on-board maintenance work, including painting and carpentry, and other jobs to assist the operation of the boat.
The minimum requirement for a job as a deckhand is, of course, the STCW 95 Basic Training and ENG1. However, a solid deckhand will also be trained with the following skills and certificates; RYA/MCA Personal Survival Techniques, MCA Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting, MCA Elementary First Aid, MCA Personal Safety and Social Responsibility.
A steward or stewardesses' priority is looking after the interior of the boat. In most cases, there will be a chief steward/ess who will lead a number of assistant stewards. The steward/ess will predominantly be required to clean the boat, keeping the interiors tidy and welcoming, and to supply refreshments to both the crew and the guests, along with other aspects of catering.
The minimum requirement for a job as a steward/ess is again the STCW 95 Basic Training qualification. However, a good steward/ess will be enthusiastic to progress and could therefore potentially be trained with the following skills and certificates; RYA/MCA Personal Survival Techniques, MCA Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting, MCA Elementary First Aid MCA Personal Safety and Social Responsibility.
The chef's role on board will be to prepare food for the crew and the guests. In terms of qualification, experience will be the deciding factor here, and a good history of creating wonderful dishes will be essential. Chefs will also be required to have the relevant health and hygiene certificates, such as the HABC level 2 and 3. Also, it is important to note that as of 7th August 2014, the Ships Cook Assessment has become a mandatory requirement for any chef cooking for 10 or more crew members.
First mate/chief officer
The role of first mate/chief officer is essential in life aboard a superyacht. You will be the captain's right-hand man or woman, in charge of the deckhands and other exterior crew members.
An extensive background crewing will be necessary, and a number of qualifications would be beneficial for this role, including STCW 95 Basic Training, Yacht Rating, Master 200gt, Yachtmaster Theory, Yachtmaster Practical, Sea Survival, GMDSS GOC, Navigation Radar, General Ships Knowledge, Oral Preparation, Oceanmaster Theory, Advanced Firefighting, Medical First Aid, Oceanmaster Cert Comp.
The only qualifications mandatory for a first mate/chief officer are the STCW II/2 and Medical Care On Board Certificate.
A reliable engineer is a highly sought after and well rewarded job aboard a yacht. The engineer will manage the inner workings of the boat, and ensure all mechanics are running smoothly.
There are a number of professional qualifications that an marine engineer must possess by law, such as the MCA STCW III/1 Officer of the Watch Certification. Other qualifications which would be beneficial include, Yacht Rating, AEC, MEOL Engineer Yacht 4, Skills Test, Marine Diesel Engineering, Operational Procedures & Basic Hotel Services, Auxiliary Equipment & Basic Ship Construction, MCA Sea Survival for Yachtsman, Advanced Fire Fighting, Proficiency in Medical First Aid, Chief Engineer Statutory & Operational Requirements, Marine Engine Theory and Applied Marine Engineering.
Junior engineers would need the MCA STCW III/1 Officer of the Watch Certification to start life as a cadet. Further experience could then be gained or taught while on the job.
The captain of the ship is the leader; everyone aboard a superyacht answers to him or her. To become a captain, you must possess extensive experience working on board boats, considerable training and a number of qualifications. Mandatory qualifications include the STCW II/2 and the Medical Care On board Certificate.
However it is not uncommon for the captain to have the majority of the following;
- STCW certificate levels
- Yacht Rating
- Master 200gt
- Yachtmaster Theory
- Yachtmaster Practical
- Sea Survival
- Navigation Radar
- General Ships Knowledge
- Oral Preparation
- Navigation and Radar
- Stability
- Medical Care
- Business and Law
- Seamanship
- Oral Preparation (500T)
- Oceanmaster Theory
- Advanced Firefighting
- Medical First Aid
- Oceanmaster Cert
Substantial time as a first mate/chief officer (3-5 years) would be expected, along with experience with budgeting, navigation, insurance and some engineering knowledge.
The captain must also be very skilled with leading a team and should be very personable as he or she will have to deal with the crew and the guests of the boat on a daily basis, who, in the majority of cases, will be very influential people who are used to exceptional levels of service.
It is also important to understand legal aspects of working on a yacht some qualifications are essential. View crew legal tips here.
What to look for in a crew trainer
IMSA, a specialist in worldwide ISPS Code maritime training explained that all crew trainers should be approved as an accredited trainer by the MCA (Maritime & Coastguard Agency) to ensure they abide by the strict guidelines expected in the industry.
Your crew training centre should be able to demonstrate to the MCA that training will be delivered under the supervision of personnel who have, either individually or collectively as part of a team, gained:
- A thorough knowledge of the practical application of modern methods, systems and procedures for safeguarding maritime security in accordance with the ISPS Code and SOLAS as amended.
- Practical and relevant experience of the operation of merchant ships.
From IMSA's perspective, "The most important aspect of the trainer is that he/she must be able to demonstrate total knowledge of the subject matter and have the relevant practical and commercial experience in the subject and operations of vessels to impart that experience to the delegates so that they benefit from both the theory and the experience."
PYT also agrees that MCA Accreditation is as important as having IYT (International Yacht Training) accredited trainers, because IYT offers the most internationally recognised and trusted standard of excellence in yacht training.
Bespoke crew training should be expected
It is essential that trainers are able to tailor every training course they deliver so that it is relevant to the audience and the vessel that the recruits will be working on.
It's also important that there is close communication between yacht captains, first officers and ship security officers to ensure that the training being delivered is tailored to their ship's security plans and any individual Standard Operating Procedures – every yacht is different.
IMSA believes that assessing the trainers before committing to a training contract is paramount, and has produced a list to which can be referenced when selecting that all important training.
- Trainers demonstrate knowledge of subject matter
- Trainers integrates current developments into content
- Demonstrates the relevance of course content
- Are MCA accredited
- Refers delegates to additional material where appropriate
- Well prepared and delivers material in a well organised manner
- Demonstrates an effective teaching manner
- Presentation demonstrates professional competence
- Places the presentation in context/course goals etc…
- Exhibits enthusiasm and interest with delegates
- Expresses ideas clearly and audibly
- Encourages delegate questions and interaction/class discussion
- Responds to delegate needs and incorporates feedback
- Adjusts to individual and group needs
- Meets delegate needs through a range of teaching styles
- Demonstrates respect for alternative points of view
- Open to suggestions from delegates
- Exhibits a positive attitude to all delegates/Treats delegates with respect

Two bedroom apartment situated in Castalla Internacional, 30km north-west of Alicante. The property is five years old and is well maintained and as good as new. The property comes with garden, air con and UK satellite system. Looking to exchange for an apartment between Alicante and Denia with possible cash incentive to make up any cash deficit.
Castalla Internacional –
The village type setting of Castalla Internacional lies close to the town of Castalla and just twenty five minutes drive from Alicante Airport. A lovely mountain breeze flows through the village keeping you cool in the summer months. The urbanisation consists mainly of ex British people with some Spanish and a mix of other nationalities. You are surrounded by lovely scenic views and the pace of life is very slow and typically Spanish. Locals meet at the bar where there is often live music in the evening or take a dip in the communal pool to pass away the day.
The town of Castalla is located 680 metres above sea level in picturesque mountain surroundings about 30km North West of Alicante. The town is overlooked by a walled medieval castle which was built around the 11th century. There is also the 16th century church and the town hall dating back to the 17th century. As you walk through the old parts of the town you find narrow streets, the place is full of history and it has a traditional Spanish feel about it. The main centre has all the modern facilities and yet retains its charm. The market which is held twice a week provides an excellent range of products and always offers value for money.
Castalla is the ideal place for those people who want to live in country style surroundings with excellent scenery of flowing hills and almond trees. The beaches of San Juan and El Campello are all within an easy drive.

Michigan has one ground for divorce: "There has been a breakdown of the marriage relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved."
Michigan is a "no-fault" divorce state, but the term "no-fault" may be misleading. Fault isn't a factor if the parties reach a settlement on all issues. However, if there are disputes about spousal support, property division, child support, parenting time, or custody, a judge may consider a partner's behavior in deciding how to settle the disputes.
Almost all divorce cases are settled, which means that the parties reach an agreement that is placed on the court record. After an agreement is placed on the record, it is extremely difficult to change it. Never agree to something you don't understand or feel forced into. Your consent must be voluntary.
Expect the divorce process to last several months. By law, a divorce cannot be granted in less than 60 days. When a couple has minor children, the wait is six months. The six-month period may be waived under certain circumstances, but it's not a good idea to rush a divorce. There are complex issues to sort through, and it takes time to reach a sound, fair decision that both parties accept.
While your divorce is pending, both sides define issues and try to resolve them. A good amount of time goes into determining how to resolve parental issues, which may involve working with a mental health professional or evaluator. It may also include finding the net worth of each person, which may involve requesting financial statements or depositions. To get the best outcome in your case, it's important for you to be completely candid and honest with your attorney. Remember, all conversations with your attorney are confidential. We need your complete input to best represent you.


text: After many years, I've finally enabled the Reputation function for our forum system. Look at the little green dot right under my username. That's my reputation. Hover on it - that's the description of my reputation. You all have one (so long as you're a public poster). In order to give someone reputation (positive or negative), you must be a TONMO Supporter (as such, you must now also be a Supporter to "like" a post). When you give someone Reputation (click the "star" icon below any post) you can choose to give anyone positive or negative reputation, along with a comment for the reason why. You can see your own reputation and comments by others on your member profile page. You can only give up to 5 reputation clicks per day, and you can't give reputation points to the same person more than once per day. What are the reputation levels? I'm open to input on this: Column 1 0 [tr] 1 [td]User sleeps with Cthulhu[/td] 2 [td]-999999[/td] 3 [/tr] 4 [tr] 5 [td]User is in Cthulhu's crosshairs[/td] 6 [td]-50[/td] 7 [/tr] 8 [tr] 9 [td]User has caught Cthulhu's attention[/td] 10 [td]-10[/td] 11 [/tr] 12 [tr] 13 [td]User is floating in the open water column[/td] 14 [td]0[/td] 15 [/tr] 16 [tr] 17 [td]User is known as a merry little cuttlefish[/td] 18 [td]10[/td] 19 [/tr] 20 [tr] 21 [td]User has a nice den shell collection[/td] 22 [td]50[/td] 23 [/tr] 24 [tr] 25 [td]User squirts lovely plumes of ink[/td] 26 [td]150[/td] 27 [/tr] 28 [tr] 29 [td]User is bioluminescent[/td] 30 [td]250[/td] 31 [/tr] 32 [tr] 33 [td]User is a master of mimicry[/td] 34 [td]500[/td] 35 [/tr] 36 [tr] 37 [td]User accurately predicts soccer matches[/td] 38 [td]1000[/td] 39 [/tr] 40 [tr] 41 [td]User is a cephalopod's best friend[/td] 42 [td]2000[/td] 43 [/tr] What controls my reputation? There are many factors. You get 5 points just for registering. When someone clicks to give you reputation (by clicking the sheriff badge icon), the more "powerful" they are (more on this below), the more weighty their judgement. So someone who is a highly "powerful" member giving you positive or negative rep means a lot more to you than a more junior Supporter doing the same. You also get positive reputation when someone "likes" your post. Your "power" is also determined by many factors, including number of days you've been registered on TONMO, number of posts, and your own reputation. In addition to being a Supporter, you must have at least 5 posts and 10 reputation points in order to give anyone else reputation.

Whether you're looking for reasons to date your spouse, dealing with deployment issues, needing to apologize, wondering about the benefits of "the letter," or just wanting a good laugh, there's something here for you! Today's Friday Five is a compilation of articles I love because they offer great advice, made me chuckle or (bonus!) both.
1. Are you dealing with deployment or long separations from your spouse? 51 Tips for Deployment, Homecoming nd Everything in Between is an article that can be found on Jo, My Gosh blog. In addition to the send-off and the return, it offers suggestions for dealing with the absence of a spouse and for care packages. The site is loaded with other helpful information for military spouses and offers a free copy of The Ultimate Care Package Guide.
2. Never underestimate the power of a letter. Letters That Changed Our World, an article in Parade Magazine written by Liz Welch, gives heartfelt examples of how letters made a difference. It's easy to overlook that there is a second page (hit "Next" at the bottom of the post), but that's where you will find additional reasons to write letters as well as a link that gives a brief "how-to" with letter-writing tips. You might also find a previous post, How to Write a Love Letter to Your Spouse – And Why You Should helpful.
3. Stop using the kids as a reason you can't make date night with your spouse happen. 5 Reasons Your Kids Should See You Date Your Spouse, guest-written by Steve Pare on True Agape blog, sets forth some compelling reasons why when you have kids it's even more important to prioritize dating your spouse. The result in doing so? You benefit, your spouse benefits and the kids benefit – the ultimate win-win-win!
4. When delivering an apology, keep it real. How do you do that? Gina Barreca, columnist for the Hartford Courant and one of my favorite humorists, spells it out in her article To Apologize, What Makes it Real? The article is also helpful if you have already offered a needed apology, but it wasn't well-received – it's possible your delivery could use some improvement.
5. Maybe the changes in your marriage are a good thing. Funny guy Aaron Traister is at it again in his Redbook article 8 Signs Your Marriage Has Changed. You may recognize you and your spouse in a couple of his examples and decide, hmmmm, maybe these changes aren't so bad after all! If you can ignore the rude, unrelated "reading recommendation" plopped into the post, this article will leave you chuckling!
Most of us would not want to be referred to as "A Gossip" – or get caught gossiping. So is gossip always a bad thing? I decided to check out a dictionary to see if there is any positive definition for 'gossip.' As it turns out, after checking several sources, I was indeed able to find a more benign definition of "gossip" than the rumor-riddled association it usually has. Vocabulary.com offers this definition: Gossip is conversation that's light, informal, and usually about other people's business.
My husband and I begin most weekdays by watching the early news. I have to admit, we sometimes watch with a critical eye. In between news stories we do a bit of the scuttlebutt kind of gossiping with regard to newscasters and the actors (I'm using the term loosely) on those early morning screaming car commercials. For instance, noticing a bad hair day, wondering (out loud) when earrings the size of Montana became professional wear, and questioning this ongoing trend of wearing sleeveless dresses no matter how much snow is on the ground. The chatter often ends with one or both of us shaking our head and saying: "They should have asked us!" We actually learn bits about the other and their preferences in these little exchanges, as well as make each other laugh. A bonding moment. Throw in a cup of coffee, and it's a pretty nice start to the day!
Have you got your own spousal gossip going on? Do you ever find yourselves talking about the relationships of friends? In a recent Redbook article, Robb Willer, Ph.D, an associate professor of sociology at Stanford University, says such chat could be helpful to your own marriage. Analyzing behaviors is not the same as passing judgment. Discussing negative behaviors observed – spouses treated disrespectfully or inappropriate public displays – presents opportunities for spouses to discuss what each thinks is right or wrong, how they might have handled the situation, as well as to hash out their different points of view. Willer states that people who share the same values have stronger relationships.
As long as you're not turning such discussions into comparisons to minimize your own marital issues or comparing your own relationship negatively to the point of creating unhealthy envy, such conversations can be quite productive. This kind of chitchat isn't gossip – it's couple's therapy!
What makes people smile more than a bobblehead? Known also as "wobblers" or "nodders," these dolls often have oversized heads connected to the body by a spring or hook in such a way that the head bounces with a light tap or breeze.
You may have seen sports figures bobbilized (a new word I'm creating for the occasion!) or cute animals with bobbing heads on people's dashboards. These smile-makers have been around for decades – my earliest memory of them was the Beatle dolls we received in . . . a previous year.
But you don't have to be famous to be bobbilized! There are several companies that make custom bobbleheads from pictures – complete with specified outfits. They are a bit of a splurge, starting around $100 for a single figure. But, because the businesses are competitive, there's a good chance that you can catch a promotional deal or a groupon for an order. And, for a special occasion, it may be the perfect gift for your spouse – or for you and your spouse to give. Here are 5 suggestions for creative bobblehead-gifting:
1. Surprise your spouse on a birthday or other special occasion with a bobblehead duo of them and their best friend. For double the fun (and a super-splurge), get two sets so they can give one to their friend!
2. Memorialize you and your spouse – bobblehead style – and present to your spouse on your anniversary. This will generate some serious brownie points in addition to the smiles!
3. Bobbing makes the heart grow fonder – pack a bobblehead of you in your spouse's luggage when they are headed out of town, or send in a care package to that deployed spouse, so they can end their nights with your head-bobbing proclamation of love even though you're miles – or countries – away.
4. From the two of you – to a child memorializing their sport, graduation, a special accomplishment, to friends for their anniversary (of them, of course!), to that special engaged couple who would get a kick out of wedding-cake topper that could keep on bobbing long after the cake was eaten.
5. Lead the way with a gifted bobblehead chosen just for the recipient – a favored pet, celebrity, family member – perched in front of them as they drive no matter where they go. I mean, what says "hood ornament" better than a bobblehead??
When friends and family want to chip in to get memorable gift for a special someone, bobbleheads can add just the right touch of humor to that special event. The only thing better than having a reason to say "bobblehead" ten times is to actually have or give one. Bobbleheads – the gift that keeps on bobbing!*
*NO batteries or assembly required!
Note: This was not a sponsored post. Although I wish I'd thought of that – it might have solved the what-to-get-for-the-anniversary-gift-dilemma!
In my Family Law practice, I see the results of extramarital affairs on a regular basis. A wife stunned that her husband and best friend had been meeting behind her back. A husband sent reeling when his wife leaves him for his brother. A spouse having midnight chats with an ex-flame on Facebook. Suspicions confirmed when a spouse who regularly "works late" is caught sexting a co-worker. Do any of these betrayals shock me? No. Sadden me, yes. Shock me, no.
If a spouse is determined to have an affair, for whatever reason, and they seek it out, it will happen. One can't protect themself from such a deliberate act. But the I-didn't-plan-it,-it-just-happened kind of affair is a different story.
First, the social media lie a spouse tells themself. It goes something like this: I just want to see what (fill in the name of the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend) is up to. I won't even let them know I found them. I'll just check their Facebook page. Look! There they are! I'll just say a quick hello and let them know how cute their kids are.
All completely innocent, right? Well the test is, if your spouse was standing next to you, would you be taking that action? Or try this test: you walk into the room and your spouse is sitting in front of the computer reading stats about someone they had a romantic history with – just to see what they're up to. Are you OK with that?
It seems so harmless. Just satisfying curiosity. But what is the real point? Why does it matter? Why do you, Married Person, want information about somebody who is no longer in your life? You will not be able to name a single good reason. If you choose to go ahead and look that person up (bad decision number one) it will lead to more decisions that have to be made.
Skip down the road a couple of bad decisions later to the point where you have had a few "just-catching-up exchanges." It can be very flattering to be remembered fondly and spoken to admiringly by someone from your past. There can be some lovely sparks. The old high school stomach-flutter that you haven't experienced with your spouse for years. (It's so easy to forget how temporary that stage was before it deepened into something more substantial, isn't it?) So the "harmless" written conversations expand to the point of deciding to meet to just have a quick coffee. Oh, by the way, is this wonderful person being deceptive to their spouse, too? This isn't going to end well.
Second, let's talk about why I don't find it shocking that spouses run off with the other spouse's best friend or sibling. Or that they develop a romantic relationship with a neighbor or somebody they work with. What's the common denominator? FAMILIARITY. Which leads us to our second preventative strategy.
And by "family" I mean direct family members such as parents, grandparents and siblings – in-laws and relatives that you weren't raised with as siblings do not qualify for the exemption.
Work situations can be more difficult to control than family environments. Employees often have to work with opposite-gender co-workers one-on-one. Or in high-stress situations where they have to depend on each other for support, cooperation, or safety. It is imperative to plan ahead – before inappropriate feelings develop for another – how you will handle such situations. Have to have a working lunch? Invite others if that's an option. Have a reason to drive separately and meet at the restaurant. Excuse yourself to check in with your spouse if things run long.
One friend, an emergency professional who is in a vehicle during his workday, shared his strategy when assigned female partners. He invites the new partner to his house for dinner to meet his wife and children so she sees what his family life looks like and his wife has an opportunity to get to know his partner. This, of course, is not foolproof – but it is behavior that makes it easier for both individuals to resist temptations that might otherwise be acted upon. It's about being intentional about prevention. And intentional about protecting your marriage.
I'm not suggesting you take things to the extreme here – as in you can't walk into the kitchen if only a sibling-in-law is there – and chat. Or you should refuse to go into your boss's office when summoned to deal with business related matters. Obviously there are times when such interactions may be necessary or reasonable. But it's about being vigilant. Recognize that just because you don't feel that way about them, does NOT mean they don't feel that way about you – or have the potential to.
So two simple things you can do to affair-proof your marriage: don't engage with exes in a way you wouldn't want your spouse to know about AND don't be alone with non-family members of the opposite sex. Because affairs "don't just happen." Extramarital affairs evolve one step (and one bad decision) at a time. Don't take that first step.
EVERY SPOUSE NEEDS A FRIEND. Who better to fill that role than the one who loves them most? Whether you consider your spouse to be your absolute best friend, or you think the term "friend" isn't significant enough to describe your relationship, we can all do a better job in being a friend to our spouses.
You know that special buddy of yours that you only get to see once in a blue moon? The one you pick up the phone and call when you see something that reminds you of your shared history? Analyze how you treat them, how they treat you and why the friendship is special. What's the expression on your faces when you see each other? How do you catch up on what has happened in each other's lives since you last connected?
1. Let your face light up when you see them. What do I mean? Go stand in front of a mirror. Think about a visit from that favored friend that you haven't see in ages – and how great it's going to be to see them. See what happens to your face? Is your spouse getting greeted with that same smile and sparkle?
2. Show interest in what's happened in their life since you last saw them. OK – maybe we should replace 'life' with 'day' – but it's the same principle. Ask about it. And then really listen. Just like we wouldn't presume to know everything about what's happened with that dear friend since we last saw them, chances are there is much our spouse could chat about their own day to an interested listener.
3. Send a text, email, or – better yet – a letter, just to let them know you are thinking of them. Sure, they may see you before they actually receive the written confirmation that you thought of them in the midst of your day – but it will still make them feel special and result in a smile when they see it!
4. Set a specific time to meet. I'm not talking about the oft-referred to "date night" – although that is a very good thing. I'm just talking about a connection that might not otherwise happen. You wouldn't suggest to that special friend that you get together on Tuesday and leave it at that – you make a specific plan. Every once in a while it's nice to set a specific time to hang out for a quick "catch up" time – getting up 15 minutes earlier to linger over a morning coffee, a 7:45 p.m ice cream connection before viewing the planned evening program. An it's-all-about-us moment.
5. Tell them something you've always admired about them. We generally don't hesitate to tell friends what we think is special about them – after all, it's an unknown when the next visit will be and we don't want to miss such an opportunity. In spite of the fact that (we think) we know when we'll next see our spouse, we need to be intentional about creating such opportunities to lift them up. After all, our dearest friend deserves no less!
Like a marriage, The Wizard of Oz is full of history, special moments, reasons to celebrate and meaningful lessons learned. Both have noted milestone anniversaries. The Wizard of Oz recently celebrated its 75th year – now that's longevity! If we want our marriage to have that kind of staying power, we can take a lesson or two from this classic tale.
For some interesting trivia about the movie, check out 75 Weird Wonderful Facts About the Wizard of Oz by clicking (three times will not be necessary) the picture below!
As a young girl, you would not allow me to allow myself to be disrespected. There wasn't enough eye-rolling in my head to lessen the requirement about a visiting guy coming up to the door. No horn honking, running out to his car when he pulled up, waiting outside for him. I was worth his time to come up to the door to get me. I was worth his time to walk me back to the door and make sure I got in the house safely. When as an insecure teenager I was willing to settle for someone – anyone – who liked me, you were not willing to let me settle for someone who did not hold me in high esteem. You caused me to have certain expectations about how one should be treated in a relationship. It took me years to realize you were not just being controlling, judgmental, and generally uncool.
These are just a few of the lessons I learned about marriage from you. I know as soon as my letter is sent, I'll think of one I forgot to write down. An important one. And they'll keep coming to me as long as I'm married. Know that I am grateful for those, also.
With an abundance of love and admiration, Daughter #2
P.S. If I'd known in my early years what I know now, I would have spoken much kinder about you both in my diary. I'll forgive you for reading it, if you'll forgive me for the words you read!
Is there anyone YOU can honor with a love letter?
How to Write a Love Letter to Your Spouse (and Why You Should)
How to Get Couple Friends (and Why You Should)
Remember those Magic Eye books and pictures that were everywhere in the early 1990s? Like the picture above, they were chaotic blurs of colors, shapes and seemingly abstract patterns. The promise was that if we looked at the two-dimensional picture in the right way, we would see a three-dimensional image emerge before our very eyes!
So we would squint, move the picture around, stare into the colors – and still it looked the same. But when we were persistent, we could make it happen. If you held the picture close to your face – nose almost touching – and backed it away slowly while staring at it unblinkingly, the picture in front of you morphed magically into a beautiful, interesting, or complex design. Even though you were looking for that transformation, you were still taken by surprise when it appeared because it was right there – and had been right there the whole time. You just weren't looking at it with the right focus. And remember how once you finally saw it, you could move the picture around and still see the inner picture – often even more clearly when you moved it farther away? That's because your focus at that point was on the depth of of the picture instead of the chaotic facade.
And so it is with marriage. We let the surface appearance of chaos and disconnectedness in our busy lives turn into our reality – the 2D version of us. The beautiful, the interesting, the foundation of what we started with is in the midst of that. It's available for us to return to and hold on to when our big picture blurs into something we don't recognize. It's worth the effort to squint and shift our view and persist in our efforts until we see clearly what our main focus is – the 3D version of us. Once you know where it is, it's what you keep seeing.

Married With Gratitude – a 30 Day Challenge
The Annual Marriage Assessment – 11 Questions to Get You Started
Exercising with your spouse is usually a good thing. Not only are you spending time with each other, you are both working together toward a common goal – an activity that reaps benefits in other areas of your marriage. But not all activity is created equal. There are some forms of exercise that, when done with your spouse, could actually harm your marriage. Here are five exercises you should skip when you're married.
1. Jumping to conclusions. You know what they say about the person who assumes, right? Don't give yourself an opportunity to prove the old saying correct – ask a few questions (without the accusatory tone) before making an informed conclusion about any given situation.
2. Stretching the truth. Referred to in some circles as "lying." Not OK. Unless, of course, you are planning a fabulous surprise for your mate or hiding their gift!
3. Side-stepping the issue. The serious stuff doesn't go away by ignoring it. Find a stress-free time to talk over those tough topics before they elevate to crisis-mode.
4. Running out of steam. Take care of yourself so you can better take care of and be there for your spouse. There's a reason flight attendants tell passengers to put their own oxygen mask on before attempting to assist others: doing so makes the person more effective when assisting.
5. Pulling up past grievances. Take a tip from Elsa and let it go, let it go, let it go if you want to have a happy ending!
Introverted But Not Shy? Does Your Mate Need Space?
7 Common Mistakes Married Couples Make
The beginning of a new year is often a time for evaluation, assessing, and planning for the upcoming twelve months. We analyze things like our health, our spiritual direction, our priorities, our careers and set goals regarding what we would like to do different, better, or not at all. Let's not forget our marriage in this annual assessment!
The beginning of the year is a great time to review the past year of marriage to assess what we did right, what is not working, what we can do better, what changes we can make to improve our marriage, and what goals we can work together to accomplish over the next year. Here are 11 questions to get you started.
To Answer as a couple:
Is there anybody in your life that is not supportive of your marriage or tries to undermine your relationship that you should consider limiting contact with this year?
Do you need to cultivate some couple friends this year who have positive attitudes about marriage to interact with?
What's the single most important thing you could do to improve your marriage this year?
What's the most important decision you need to make together this year?
What is the biggest obligation you feel needs to be met this year?
What area of your lives most need simplifying and what is one thing you could do to accomplish that?
If one or both of you need to get healthier, what is one change you could both support making to move toward that goal?
What is your biggest financial goal and what is one thing you could do this year to move closer to that goal?
For each spouse to answer individually:
If there is a time-waster activity that gets in the way of spending time with your spouse, what can you do about it this year?
What can you do to encourage/uplift your spouse on a regular basis this year?
What one change can you make that would help you be a better husband or wife this year?
Whether we are already amazing or working toward getting there, it's easy to get caught up in the New Year changes we want to make to be better individuals. Make sure you spend at least, if not more, energy and effort with your spouse to determine what you can do to enhance your already-amazing (or on-its-way-to-amazing) marriage in the upcoming year!

PPG PRC-DeSoto P/S 890 Class A Gray Fuel Tank Sealant - AMS-S-8802
Don't take a chance when it comes to the integrity of your fuel tank. Whether it's brand new or it's seen a lot of action, you can ensure that you won't have any leaks when you use this PPG PRC-DeSoto P/S 890 Class A gray fuel tank sealant. P/S 890 is part of PPG's line of Pro-Seal type tank sealants. It's extremely reliable, has an operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and is made to last. When stored and used correctly, it will protect your fuel tank from leaks that could be potentially dangerous.
Application GuidePRC and Pro-Seal Aerospace Sealants Application Guide
PRC-DeSoto International PRC®, Pro-Seal®, Permapol® P-3 brand products are designed for interior/exterior aircraft sealing and coating applications. The traditional Polysulfide and the high performance Polythioether compounds are used for fuel tank sealing, corrosion inhibition, aerosmoothing, electrical insulation, windshield/canopy sealing, priming and topcoating.
Note: It is important to read and understand the MSDS, process specification, and technical data sheet before working with these products.
Surface preparation
Immediately before applying sealant to primed substrates, the surfaces should be cleaned with a solvent i.e., Desoclean® 110. Contaminants such as dirt, grease, and/or processing lubricants must be removed to insure good adhesion prior to sealant application.
A progressive cleaning procedure should be employed using the appropriate solvents and new lint free cloth (reclaimed solvents or tissue paper cannot be used). Always pour solvent on the cloth to avoid contaminating the solvent supply. Wash one small area at a time. It is important that the surface is dried with a second clean cloth prior to the solvent evaporating to prevent the redepositing of contaminants on the substrate. Substrate composition can vary greatly. This can affect sealant adhesion. It is recommended that adhesion characteristics to a specific substrate be determined prior to application of sealant on production parts or assemblies.
Special notes: For integral fuel tank repair where fresh sealant will be applied over aged fuel soaked sealant, the use of an adhesion promoter like PR-148 or PR-182 is essential.
If a Polythioether is to be applied over a polysulfide, either PR-186 or PR-1826 AP must be used at the sealant interface.
For a more thorough discussion of proper surface preparation, please consult the SAE Aerospace Information Report AIR 4069. This document is available through SAE, 400 Commonwealth Avenue, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001.
PRC-DeSoto International Sealants are generally available in three different package configurations:
Mixing instructions
Note: Slow mixing by hand is recommended. A high speed mechanical mixer should not be used as internal heat will be generated reducing application life and introducing air in mixture.
Note: Use even pressure; do not use force, tap, pound, or jolt ramrod if piston does not break loose readily.
Note: It may be desired to use a Semco® mixer model 388 for mixing sealants packaged in cartridges. Mixer does not reduce the number of strokes required for complete mixing, it does allow the material to be mixed easier and faster.

"Always great service"
Had to get my relay switch on my A/C unit replaced in my Honda Odyssey. Not only was Scott's $100 cheaper than the Honda Dealership, they were also quicker than Honda estimated! Another great experience from Scott's. And another perk....they drove me home in my car since I had my 2 yr old with me in his car seat. They just took my van back to the shop! Thanks Scott's!

The Demailly and Bernier families have lived in the same suburb of Eastern Paris, Nogent-sur-Marne, for more than 100 years. Filmmaker Peter Bromley captures the lives of these two working class families at a time of political, social and cultural changes in French society. The documentary asks what does it mean to be French today? What future have French men and women in Europe now, compared with 50 years ago?
The region of Picardy in Northern France was the location of some of the heaviest fighting along the Western Front in the First World War. Peter Bromley's cinematically rich On the Somme presents a multi-faceted depiction of the landscape of this area. Despite the unmistakable tranquillity of the region, the film conveys the sense with which the conflict and its casualties are written in to the land itself.
Peter Bromley is to direct a documentary on Pete Fij (Adorable, Polak) and Terry Bickers (The House of Love, Levitation). Pete and Terry are former label-mates of Creation Records, one of the most important record companies of the 80s and 90s.The film will capture a highly creative time for the pair with interviews, gigs and see the release of a new album. The documentary will offer a unique view into two key musicians still passionate about playing and recording music.
1968 Film Group produce short film on Foil Fencing. Directed by Peter Bromley with Ruben Woodin Dechamps on Camera, Claude Bromley on Sound and Balint Revesz on Lighting. The film also includes Fencing footage of International and GB Ranked Fencers Ayesha Fihosy, Nick Fihosy, Corsini King, Mark Sutton. Plus interviews with Fencers Steve Lennox (ex British Team) Gary Whelan and Xavier Lopez del Rincon Troussel.
Produce film on Artist Neil Ferguson.
The film will mainly focus on Ferguson's work in the present, but does include 'System Art' the work he produced in 2004 for the Fondazione Baruchello, Rome and the on-going artwork 'Now we are surrounded'
The film also shows Ferguson in his studio, being interviewed and making art in situ for this documentary. The film will be directed, edited by Bromley with Ruben Woodin Dechamps on camera and Claude Bromley on sound.
Peter Bromley to direct documentary for the Somme Project. The film is base around the opening day of the Franco-British offensive on the Somme on the 1st July 1916. The idea is to walk the front-line as it was,immediately prior to the opening stages of the battle and record the walk in image and sound as it is now; continuing Bromley's ongoing interest in the 'missing men' within the landscape of the Somme.
The Somme.net is a ten-year film and photographic project involving Peter Bromley and Historian Adrian Jackson.
Started in 2006, the project will end with the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in 2016.
The Somme project will revisit the frontline of the Battle of the Somme, the places where thousands fell, and capture the landscape as it appears now in photographs. The project has been undertaken in a spirit of exploration. A website is launched specially dedicated to the project, www.thesomme.net
Peter Bromley is to direct a short film on the work of artist Joseph Beuys. Beuys inspired people from all backgrounds, not just artists. He is most famous for his ritualistic performances and his energetic championing of 'every man is an artist'.
Beuys also made many video-based works. These are as important as the drawings and large-scale sculpture for which he is better known.
Filming will take place in and around the town of Krefeld, Germany, where Beuys was born. The crew will have access to some of the original rooms that Beuys himself constructed and installed at the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld. Bromley will also interview Dr. Martin Hentschel, Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum and former Beuys student.
Peter Bromley´s feature length documentary on Charles Hayward, avant-garde drummer and experimental percussionist will be released late autumn 2007.
Hayward hit the experimental rock scene of the 1970´s with the band This Heat. Since then he has remained at the forefront of innovative music, which extends the musical experience.
This film attempts to give us an insight into Hayward´s music, his inspiration and his creative drive. Bromley spent 18 months filming this comprehensive exploration of the Hayward world of music.
Hayward performs as a solo artist and with musicians with whom he has collaborated through the years, some over a period of two decades. Bromley has collected footage from live gigs and other impromptu sessions.
Hayward shares his thoughts on music and much more during intimate interviews. Musicians who play regularly with Hayward discuss the musical journey they embarked on when they began to play with Hayward. All these musicians abandon themselves to experiment and achieve musical constructions only possible where boundaries fall away.
Openness, energy, excitement, passion, freedom to explore are the hallmarks of the music produced during the filming of this documentary. Bromley captures the total involvement of these artists with their music and demonstrates the centrality of Hayward´s genius to the musical edifice that this sensitive film examines.
Marking the 200th Anniversary of the birth of John Stuart Mill, Rendition tests the precepts of his most famous work, "On Liberty" (1859).
Set in an indeterminate hellhole in an unidentified state, we follow the interrogation of a rendered prisoner, following the guidelines laid down by the C.I.A.
Rendition is a coruscating meditation on how far the war on terror colours our own prejudices and illustrates the lonely death of liberal England. By contrasting the central tenet of Mill's book "On Liberty", we can consider the brutalising effects of the external, perceived threat.
James O'Brien and Peter Bromley have again collaborated to produce a searing, brutal take on a Dystopian reality, can we afford to let this action be codified without the debate the subject matter, according to Mill, requires?
The 1968 Film Group are to make a documentary on the musician Charles Hayward (pictured on the right).
Hayward has been playing on the British / international music scene for over 30 years and has produced some truly amazing records, his live gigs are legendary.
Peter Bromley and James O'Brien work together again on a new short film, with the working title "The Re-enactment of Allendes suicide on The Camberwell New Road". Filming starts late March 2005.
The film is written and directed by O'Brien and produced by Bromley's production company 1968 Film Group. The actors are Orlando Vitorini, Alice Margarolia, Daniel O'Brien and Mark Extance. The films outline is:
A vivid tone poem following the downward spiral of the Chilean poet and dissident Ronaldo. The re-enactment charts the human cost and individual disintegration of the human spirit in a psychic post-traumatic landscape. Addled by drink and despair we follow Ronaldo's journey across South London to a defining moment of catharsis juxtaposed between Ronaldo the refugee and the dynamics of Pinochet's"Coup D' Etat"
Bromley is shooting a 35 min drama at the end of August 2003
Working title - "Still Life" (morto vita)
The film is set in London and is based around the feature script idea written with James O'Brien.
The film unfolds in five acts and holds seven characters across these. It is mostly set indoors, but opens and closes in the country. The theme of the film is loosely based around creative/personal relationships and the filmmaking process.
The film will be shown in festivals from May 2004 onwards.
We propose to make a feature length film charting the rise, fall and death of the artist in contemporary Britain, using the Tate Modern and the highways and byways of South London as a moody and atmospheric backdrop to the central narrative.
The story is a savage and satirical assault on the art establishment, revealing the morally bankrupt world of art finance and its corrupt practices of wheeler-dealing. The film explores how the art establishment effectively kills the art it claims to champion, paying vacuous lip-service to the act of creation as an adjunct of its own internal hierarchies.
The opening shots are dramatic and spectacular with a forensic intensity examining the structures and recesses of the great abattoir, Tate Modern. From the exterior the camera moves to the interior where a curator is giving a presentation on Art, revealing his arrogance and ignorance of the work in a grimly farcical scene. The humour is further developed in the next scene, in an optician, where the curator undergoes extensive tests to restore his focus revealing that he is in fact blind to the Art masterpieces he is entrusted by the nation to maintain and explain.
The curator appears as a 'buffoon', a fall guy to the greater integrity of the 'Artist'. Yet as the film progresses a seismic shift in our perceptions is revealed, with the curator metaphorically 'killing' the Artist as he rises through the ranks of the curatorial morass.
The following scenes show how in thrall the art world is to big business. The Art Dealer and the curator hail the Artist as a genius, the 'one'. The acquisitions board has sanctioned a buying spree that will make the Artist's reputation and guarantee his place in the pantheon of contemporary Art. The deal will allow the Artist to move out of his seedy studio and become a recognised figure, celebrity/artist. It also transpires that one of the trustees on the acquisitions board is also a financier/developer and has agreed with an architect to transform the now empty Artist's studio complex/colony into lucrative luxury living apartments.
We then have a series of startling visual vignettes as the inter-connectedness of the art world and its vectors is explored; the curator's actress girlfriend; a student discussing the meaning of film; a feral boy who roams the riverside; the film student masturbating to a whore's chanted litany of filmmakers' names; the boy befriending the poet/ tramp as a procession to the culmination of the deal escalates.
The retinue of characters assemble for a celebratory dinner to clinch the deal, but it is here that the whole art con is revealed. The world of art finance and the capitalist establishment is exposed as a cruel and malicious sham, ruthlessly self-serving and callously dismissive of the artists it purports to represent.
The moral and sexual degeneracy of the ensemble is summarised in the finale to the film, where a drug enhanced, debauched orgy reveals a hideous congress of the drunken protagonists as they fuck each other senseless while symbolically fucking Art.
The final scene creates a haunting tableau, a 'ship of fools' rises out of the mist, floating down the Thames, containing all the main players from the celebration dinner. Locked in their private, exclusive world and language, the ship moves out to the darkness of the river. Looking on from the riverbank is the artist, the boy, the tramp…The ship floats away, the dissolute crew on board…going nowhere, sterile, deluded, and intact...

5 Things: Badgers show plenty of life over Illini
Here are five things we learned from Wisconsin's 56-32 victory against Illinois on Saturday night:
Chris Borland's value to Wisconsin could be greater than we thought
We all knew Borland was a tremendous linebacker. But when Borland left the game for good in the first quarter after suffering a right leg injury, the Badgers' defense changed. On Illinois' first four series — with Borland in the game — the Illini ran 12 plays and gained minus-11 yards. On the team's next three series, with Borland out, they ran 23 plays and gained 189 yards.
Marcus Trotter deserves plenty of credit for stepping up in Borland's absence. Trotter led the team with nine tackles and recovered a fumble. But Borland brings another dimension to the team. Plus, who wouldn't love to see him try a field goal of 45 yards or longer since he's now the designated long-range kicker?
Wisconsin had better hope Borland's injury isn't serious enough to keep him out of the team's next game, Nov. 2 against Iowa.
The secondary is still giving up too many big plays
Wisconsin scored so many points on Saturday that it didn't really matter what the secondary did. In the second quarter, cornerback Darius Hillary was beaten for a 53-yard completion from Nathan Scheelhaase that led to the Illini's first touchdown. Scheelhaase also completed a 39-yarder on cornerback Peniel Jean before halftime that led to another score.
In the second half, Scheelhaase completed a 29-yard pass on safety Dezmen Southward on a crossing route. Hillary was flagged for a pass interference call, and backup corner Jakarrie Washington gave up a 29-yard touchdown pass in mop-up duty.
Illinois threw for 319 yards, and though some of that had to do with the score, it should cause some alarm moving forward. Keep in mind Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly already racked up 352 yards through the air on this same defense last month.
The running game is as good as ever
The 1-2 combination of James White and Melvin Gordon simply couldn't be stopped. Gordon carried 17 times for 142 yards and scored three touchdowns. White carried 20 times for 98 yards with two touchdowns and added 29 receiving yards and another touchdown. For good measure, Corey Clement got in on the fun and rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown.
In just seven games, Gordon already has gone over the 1,000-yard rushing mark (1,012) and is averaging 144.5 yards rushing per game. White is averaging 96.0 yards per game. You won't find a better duo in all of college football.
Wisconsin just might be the second-best team in the Big Ten
The Badgers fell off the national radar after losing two of their first five games to Arizona State and Ohio State. But Wisconsin didn't suddenly become a middling football program. The Badgers proved for a second straight week that they could dominate a Big Ten foe, this time winning on the road at night for the first time this season.
Michigan State has a better defense, but Wisconsin may have the better team. Michigan State, along with Nebraska, really are the only two teams that can lay claim to being second behind Ohio State. And given that the Buckeyes barely escaped against Iowa on Saturday, a case could be made that Wisconsin is playing better football than anybody.
The Badgers' defense was opportunistic
Wisconsin entered Saturday's game having recovered three fumbles all season in six games. But the Badgers pounced on two fumbles and forced two others against Illinois.
In the first quarter, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was lined up at wide receiver and took a pitch running across the middle of the field. But he lost the ball, and Badgers defensive end Ethan Hemer recovered. The play helped set up a 2-yard touchdown pass from Joel Stave to tight end Brian Wozniak for a 21-0 Wisconsin lead.
In the fourth quarter, Badgers defensive lineman Tyler Dippel forced a fumble on a run by Donovonn Young, which was recovered by Marcus Trotter. That play helped lead to running back Corey Clement's 5-yard touchdown run, which capped the scoring for Wisconsin in the 56-32 victory.

October Blogging Challenge, we meet again. Not gonna' lie, I am pretty proud of myself for keeping up with this challenge so far.
Today's prompt is "Lessons You've Learned This Year".
Let's get started, shall we?!
1// Managing People Is A Lot Harder Than It Looks.
-For those of you who don't know, this past September I became my college's Her Campus Chapter Correspondent! This was definitely a big step for me, but I totally don't regret any of it! I have learned, however, that it's hard to manage such a large group of people. When they told me it would be 15 hours of work a week, they definitely weren't lying.
2//There Is Nothing Wrong With Switching Your Major.
-After almost failing out of my biology classes last year, I decided to make the switch to an English concentration instead. Let me just say this, THANK GOD I made this switch. I have found out that a ton of college students switch their majors more than once throughout their college careers. I actually have a friend who has switched her major more than 3 times already.
3//Ice-cream Fixes Everything.
-Well, maybe not everything…but almost everything. College has been one of the most stressful times of my life yet, and my good friends Ben and Jerry are always there to save the day.
4//8 a.ms Aren't That Bad.
-I know what you're thinking. You probably read the title of this one and immediately started to think about how I must be an alien or something for saying this. But I am totally not kidding, I have an 8 a.m. everyday of the week this year and they are so so soooooo awesome. I head to the library right after them and get so much work done before my class later on in the day.
5//Tacos rock.
-I think I've known this since birth, but I figured I would throw it in here anyway.
What have you learned this year? I hope you guys all have an awesome hump day!

Road Accident Fund: Stop the Bill
Does the Road Accident Fund pay out? NO.
Can you sue him for pain and suffering, or even your medical costs? NO.
This is what the new RAF bill is proposing. Broken arms, legs and facial scarring will no longer be considered serious enough for the fund to pay out. And they are going to take away your common law right to sue the guilty party for compensation. How is this constitutional?
The govt feels they are losing too much money to road accident victims, so they are going to reduce payouts. And we already pay 31.5c on every litre of petrol to this fund. What for?
This bill proposes a blatant contravention of your rights. It is unfair, unconstitutional and unrealistic. Do your part to stop this bill and sign the online petition.
OK, now that i've done my bit for the day :)
Yesterday I was talking about how zimbabwe's rulers use the acquisition of white-owned farms as a lie to cover up acquisition of land for the government's own use. In SA, land redistribution has so far taken the path that both the buyer and seller must agree to the terms of sale for the sale to go through, and the process is merely mediated by the government. Sounds fair, right? It would be if they were planning to keep it that way. The first seizure order on a white owned farm in SA has been delivered. The floodgates are official open. The government has seen how Mugabe has got away with it for so long without any real retaliation from africa or the world, and now they know they can go right ahead and do it too. Gotta love that constitution.
And Tony Yengeni, the one attempting to get his corruption sentence reduced so he can continue to serve in parliament, is in the news again. This time, a man fitting his description, driving a car registered to him, was spotted driving recklessly on all four rims down Marine Drive in Table View. He was apparently drunk. He eventually stopped, spoke to the people who reported the incident and had been following him, and to two security guards who were at the scene. They all agree that it was him. He then drove off before the police arrived. And this man wants to be allowed to continue to serve in public office. Brilliant. He hasn't even been arrested yet. 'An investigation is in progress'. Uhuh. Sure.
