text: Hey y'all, I've been a lurker for about 3 years now, maybe longer. We are going to be on our second 3/4 Land Sea trip on July 29 this year (cannot WAIT!) Making plans with the other families who are joining us brought back a wonderful memory that for our family sums up the Magic of Disney... I hope I've chosen the right place to share this little story and haven't broken any rules!!! On our Castaway Cay trip 3 years ago, due to a stupid oversight, my then 8 year old managed to get to the beach with sunscreen only on her face. (DH and I both thought the other finished the job and since she hates the feel of sunscreen, she wasn't about to tell us otherwise!) Needless to say, the burn on the back and shoulders and tummy at the end of the day were not fun. This sweet girl has Sensory Integration Dysfunction and eats very few foods anyway, and at 11:00 p.m., she was in tears, hungry, and only wanted chocolate ice cream. I called front desk to see where we could pick some up, and was told, "We're so sorry, but the only places you can get it are closed." When I responded that my DD was terribly sunburned and miserable, and wasn't there any way to find some, I was told "sorry" again. Then I said, "I know Mickey could find some chocolate ice cream for this poor little girl" and there was a pause... then I was asked if I could hold for a minute. When the girl came back on the line, she asked if we would mind going down to another deck to a back door to pick up some ice cream! My DH went and picked up the hugest bowl of chocolate ice cream ... it was great! No doubt about it... Mickey = Magic!!!

Jon Jost made his first film with a 16-mm camera in 1962. It was about the life of a 12-year-old girl from the Italian family who had picked him up when he was hitchhiking, and had let the 19-year-old stay with them for a while. Forty years later, hes still going strong.
The American has been in Calcutta for the past two weeks, conducting a 10-day workshop at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI), and even dropping in at Chitrabani to give students a few pointers.
The self-described cruel critic does have one good thing to say about Calcutta The roadside food is very good. And cheap too. This, right after a six-rupee dinner of chaat near SRFTI, on the Santoshpur Bypass.
The army brat born in Chicago during World War II had seen enough of military life to not want to have any part of it during the Vietnam War. The result was an expulsion from university and a two-year stint in jail for dodging the draft. Fresh out of prison, it was back to filmmaking and leftist politics with equal enthusiasm for the co-founder of the Chicago arm of the leftist film production and distribution group Newsreel.
But the travel bug that bit Jost as a child, having lived all over the US as well as in Japan and Germany, sent him packing around the country. His most memorable experience living for four years as a caretaker on a farm in Montana, where a woman and her daughter lived, without running water, electricity or even a floor. I had a properly running farm with animals and a vegetable garden when I left, he recalls.
Berlin, Frankfurt, Rome, Lisbon, London, Paris
the 60-year-old lived wherever and whenever I wanted, without money or even medical insurance. I dont own a house or a car, and my belongings mainly equipment and films are packed into a couple of trunks.
It was on his 50th birthday that Jost decided Europe was the destination. For the next 10 years, he travelled the continent, making films about, well, American life, and on Italy and France. It was here that he met his Portuguese partner, a fellow filmmaker, and had a daughter, Clara. During their stay in Rome, when the little girl was three years old, her mother kidnapped Clara, and I havent seen her in the last three years, but is still trying to find her.
The man who describes Schindlers List as a hypocritical piece of work and a distortion of history doesnt watch films, particularly commercial ones. Reading fiction reminds him too much of prison, where he read around 200 novels. So he teaches and makes movies.
His films, like Plain Talking and Common Sense, are poetic analysis of the socio-political life in America. Some narrative, some soundless, a few intellectual essays, they have travelled to and won several international film festival awards.
Josts works are the subject of a film festival at the American Center, on till Monday, with an introduction by the filmmaker himself each day.
I went to see a Bengali play the other day. It wasnt very good. I want to make a Bengali play. I did a film in French without knowing the language, so it shouldnt be too hard. Im off to America soon to do a film on whats happening there, and hopefully, I will be back in Calcutta in October to make a film here, Jost signs off.
Model actor
At the age of 16, Samrat Mukherjee was Mr Calcutta and a Mr India finalist. It was then, in 1996, that the ex-student of Milind Soman decided to open a modelling school in Calcutta. In three years, we trained 1,800 boys and girls in five centres in the city. But I had to shut it in 1998. I went to Orissa to work on a film, and then to Mumbai, the 23-year-old says.
From working with Hemant Trivedi to groom models, to assisting Rajat Mukherjee Ram Gopal Vermas assistant director train actors and actresses, the model and actor doesnt lack in experience. Back in Calcutta, the man of many moves starred in a number of Tollywood films, including Anjan Chowdhurys Chandramallika, Ratan Adhikaris Ekti Meyer Galpo and Sushanto Sahas Sagar Kinare, opposite Debashree Roy.
Choreographing 250 shows in Calcutta, Vizag and Guwahati to designing book covers, hes tried a hand at anything that has taken his fancy. Working in Calcutta, I realised that models here lack that essential element of sophistication, Samrat explains. So, it was time for another modelling school.
Inaugurated on April 15, the first batch comprises 12 students. The six-month course includes lessons in western and eastern dance, acting, ramp walking, grooming and, most importantly, personality development. This category involves learning how to dress, to public speaking, emceeing, DJing, lip syncing and debating.
The most important thing for these youngsters is to learn how to present themselves. And this is true for anyone in any profession.
The guest lecturers range from model Marc Robinson to director Probhat Roy. For a price of Rs 6,000 these youngsters are from the middle class, so the parents are often not willing to support them in modelling the students even get a digital portfolio at the end.
We maintain a page on the website bengalicinema.com, besides tying up with several ad and modelling agencies, TV serial and other filmmakers, Samrat adds.
For Soumyo Bose and Sampa Ghosh, both 23-year-old aspiring actors, this is nothing new. But, its the final polish that they are seeking from Samrat to crown their career quest.
Back to Shylock
Social statement on the stage in a land torn by religious conflict brings one name to mind, instantly The Merchant of Venice. And the classic a part of every school childs syllabus is hitting the Calcutta stage on Saturday evening once again. The Calcutta Club annual production, bringing together a cast of young and old, from Shylock Suman Mukherjee to Antonio Dhruv Mookerji, at the GD Birla Sabhagar at 6.30 pm.
For years, we were staging farce and comedy. Since last years venture with Shaws Arms and the Man, we have tried to move into the realm of serious theatre, explains director Rena Ghosh. The theme of racial and religious intolerance is so important today. It takes years of oppression to create a Shylock, she adds.
Smoke signals
To commemorate World No-Tobacco Day, the Bhagirathi Neotia Woman & Child Care Centre is hosting an event with a difference on June 1. With the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Central ministry of health and family welfare as its partners, it has put together a multi-layered programme to create awareness on health hazards linked with tobacco.
This year, WHO has chosen tobacco-free films and fashion as its theme. The main objective of the programme, to be hosted at Taj Bengal, is to sensitise the film, television and fashion industry on the perils of smoking, which is often glamorised on screen.
A short panel discussion will be followed by a fashion show where Calcuttas leading fashion designers will dress some of the most popular film and fashion personalities to reinforce the objective of World No-Tobacco Day. Union health minister Sushma Swaraj will be the chief guest and state health minister Surjya Kanta Mishra the guest of honour.
Madhu Neotia, director, Bhagirathi Neotia Woman & Child Care Centre, says: Our hospital has, as its special focus, the welfare of the woman and her family. One of the main causes of cancer is the intake of tobacco, and the disease can destroy a family.
Safer option: While still on fighting the stick that kills, Dalmia Consumer Care claims to have come up with a tobacco alternative, which is healthier and non-addictive. The formulation provides the pleasure of tobacco without any of its ill effects. Developed by Dalmia Research & Development Center, it is part of Project Vardaan.

The middle childhood years can be a good time to help your child understand more about his special needs, how or when to explain needs to others, and how to ask for help if needed. Your child may need your help and ideas for building or improving relationships with others. You may also want to think about how to help others learn about your child's condition and needs.
As appropriate, think about ways your child can begin to contribute to the family or the community. For children who may be dependent on others for some or many aspects of daily life, it's important for them to know they have something to offer.
While many children with special health needs have teams of doctors, your child still needs a yearly well-child visit with a primary health care provider for overall health and screenings that are important for all children.
For older children this may be a good time to think about the changes puberty and the teen years will bring and resources that might be important. If your child has an IEP (Individualized Education Program—see p. 10), review it to see how well the plan reflects your child's current goals and abilities. Think also about other services and supports your child will need in the future.

Gordon (Cary Elwes) finds himself chained to a pipe in a dingy bathroom, with
another man (Leigh Whannell) in the same situation across the room. The men are
the latest victims of the Jigsaw Killer, a maniac who uses elaborate traps to

Dr. Gordon tries to figure out a way to freedom, hoping his kidnapped family

But when she discovers that the lycans have kidnapped a human medical student, Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), she knows the worst is on its way.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will be made of Plastic; Executive Defends Why
The only real bad thing we can say about Samsung's devices, besides Touchwiz, is the build quality. They kind of feel cheap and are made of plastic unfortunately. Now you'd think with all the money that Samsung has made in the past year or two, that they would switch to some other kind of material to make the Galaxy S4, like polycarbonate. At this point all the rumors are pointing to it remaining plastic. But in an Interview with CNET on Tuesday, Samsung's Moie Business executive Vice President YH Lee stated that the company decided to stick with their plastic build because it was a very durable material and it's also much easier to manufacture on a large scale.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
Lee stated: "Since we are shipping really large units, we always have to think how efficiently we can manage the manufacturability and also durability". Lee also acknowledged that there is a market for high-quality plastics, however, the company has tried to make a balance between firmer build quality and easy manufacturability. Which can be a bit of a daunting task.
"I think the next product has a nice balance between this," she said. "We listen to the market and try to accommodate."
So there you go. It's basically confirmed that the Galaxy S4 will be made of plastic just like the Galaxy S3. For some that'll be a deal breaker, but it's something Samsung knows will sell well. Just like having physical buttons on their devices will also sell well. Although many of us would love to see those go away as well. I know I'm not the only one that loves HTC's build quality, and wish other manufacturers would build their devices like that. But unfortunately for HTC, they have Sense (or some would call it nonsense) on their devices which keeps many people from purchasing their flagships like the HTC One. Another factor was carrier availability as well.
How many of you are going to buy the Galaxy S4 whether its plastic or not? Let us know in the comments below.

As you know from previous posts, Bridals by Lori is no stranger to philanthropy. In continuing with our commitment to Sunshine on a Ranney Day (SOARD), the Bridals by Lori staff got "down and dirty" to construct a princess-themed room for four-year old Peyton, who is battling Stage- 4 Leukemia. The process took several weeks of planning and countless hours of construction, but the results were rewarding.
Peyton was very sweet and grateful that the Say Yes crew were able to aid in creating a comfortable space for her to play and relax. The room was complete with a dress-up station, a princess tiara over her bed, and custom princess sketches created by designer Lazaro!
A special thanks to Sunshine on a Ranney Day and Mohawk Flooring for making this possible. SOARD is a non-profit organization that works to create dream rooms & home makeovers for children with long-term illnesses.

It's summertime baby, and that means one thing: heat. Between the rising temperatures -- and humidity -- outside and all that sweat in class, you're gonna wanna find some ways to cool down while refueling after you're done dancing your ass off.
We've rounded up some of our favorite ways to treat yo' self while staying cool after you #MakeSweatSexy.
Nothing says post-twerk-session cool down like a classic smoothie. You can make this simple, easy one -- from Best Health -- with ingredients you probably already have in your freezer and fridge. In addition to tasting great, the nutrients in the spinach will help you build dem muscles, boost iron levels, and improve bone health.
This one could not be easier. Take some fruit, cover it in yogurt, and freeze. Leave 'em in the freezer to snack on when your arms are too tired from toning to even think about lifting a mixing bowl. Here's how Family Fresh Meals does it.
This one is going to require the oven, so save it for a when your AC is on but your booty-poppin' is taking the day off. These frozen breakfast bars -- recipe from Betty Crocker -- will give you a sheet full of frozen treats to grab when you're running to ((305)).
Cheese, amiright? This light summer recipe from Buzzfeed takes cottage cheese -- get at dat calcium and protein -- and mixes in some summer strawberries, balsamic vinegar and mint. Throw it in the fridge before you lace up your kicks, and it'll be ready and waiting for you when you get home from class.
Lookin' to keep cool while getting turnt? Of course you are. These cucumber, ginger and gin popsicles from Shutterbean are a mashup of your favorite cocktail and your favorite summertime tradition.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Purrfect Pals, Arlington, WA, USA
I first have to tell you that no one asked me to write this review.
My family and I recently relocated to Arlington, WA. I wanted my 10 year old children to experience the joys of long term volunteering so I signed us up to feed shelter cats one day a week. We signed up with Purrfect Pals, the oldest no-kill cat shelter in the area. The more I have gotten to know Purrfect Pals, the more highly I think of them. This organization has been around, thanks to the auspices of one woman, since 1988 and over 27 thousand cats have been adopted. No cat, whether adoptable or not, is unwanted. All all cared for and every adoption is celebrated. What more can I say about an organization that holds a birthday party (with smelly wet cat food birthday cakes) for their leukemia cats each year?
Please support this organization and their hard work. If you can't adopt a cat, please virtually adopt one. Send money in for a cat that can't be adopted and know that you are helping, one animal at a time. If you'd like to learn more, please check out their website at www.purrfectpals.org.
Thanks for reading,
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the experience of my children. We have volunteered in the past for single time events and I wanted them to learn the joy of long term volunteering. I have celebrated the adoption of a single cat, mourned the loss of another and reveled in unabashed love from cats who didn't have a chance.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
have the money to build more buildings and hire on more wonderful staff.
Review for The Office of Letters and Light, Berkeley, CA, USA
Last October I was challenged by a friend to participate in the NaNoWriMo event in November. I screwed up my courage and wrote a 50,000 word novel for the sheer joy of writing. In the throws of my creative excitement, I submitted some query letters for a novel I had already completed. Amazingly enough, I received a response three weeks ago from my query. I would not have had the commitment to submit a query, much less write an unedited book without the support of The Office of Letters and Light. Will I consider looking toward publishers for my novels? Yes. Will I participate in next year's NaNoWriMo? You had better believe it. A wonderful organization, a wonderful experience that gave me the faith to continue to write. I thank them.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
developing the faith in my writing. I have a publishing house response from one manuscript and am 20,000 words into my next novel.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
have a presence in Arlington, WA. I was unable to participate in many of the write-in events because of travel.

Gee, good thing we didn't play Oregon State. :laugh8kb:

On www.gocyclones.com top stories. Sorry, the pop-ups prevent a link.
Now I get it. Bad! Bad!

For those of you still in the dark...the mascot for Oregon State is a beaver.

Doesn't exactly look like their chests are what is bumping. I saw that during the game and thought did I just see two hot chicks chest bump? Wow.

Censorship in Blogostan: Stickin' it to da Man
*"Star" is a term applied in Oman to anyone who has ever had a job in Dubai, having already failed to maintain gainful employment in their own country. Maybe that weird inferiority complex about Dubai is a subject worth writing about...

They are already broadcasting - and seem to have a place reserved in the car park of the Raddison.
Al Khuwait will be a real traffic jam if they broadcast live from there

I'm told their first "real" (i.e. live, from Oman) show, is at 0700. Until now there have been a few days of test broadcasts, all recorded. So I heard anyway

I'm a bit disappointed with the other bloggers, you'd would have hoped that they had a bit more integrity!

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly prepared to sell out my principles. I'm just unusually expensive.
Check the FB page for latest comment and don't forget to "like" ;)
(and "follow" through Google too, if I might be so bold)

I have nothing against Omani radio stations because I barely listen to them :) .. the ad will be up for 3 months and all proceeds will go to charity. No need to get disappointed, folks.

Really? I'd totally keep the money and spend it on exotic coffee blends. But we're all different. :)
- June 7, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Taking the money is fine, as long as it doesn't oblige you to do a big sucking up blog before the station has even got started properly!
(The money would be better spent on top quality chocolate!)
And yes I'm following on FB, for now!

Hey Lino.
Yes, I'm calling you Lino, simply because I find Linoleum a problem word for me and I have to spend an extra half-second thinking about the spelling. If you prefer, I could name you Linus. I think Lino is better.
I just wanted to say hey, and once again voice that I do not sensor comments on my blog. If someone is being overtly offensive to a singled out person, I may remove the comment (never done it yet) and sometimes my spam filter catches comments and holds them for me to approve... which I do do from time to time, when I remember to check it.
As for me, the option was for 3 months and I have not decided what to do with the cash. Perhaps I'll invest in continuing my research into various hops and barely by-products. Who knows.
Loving your writing, it's really good.

Obviously I meant Censor, and not sensor.
English is not my strongest subject.

There's nothing wrong with advertising for the radio. It was a simple commercial deal. You guys are silly. What's wrong with you? seriously! -_-

Hey Sythe,
Lino is cool, and I'm not throwing any stones. Hope you get to buy an awful lot of Moussy! (and they didn't even pay me...)
I note and respect that you left my comment intact. Well, I was almost nice anyway!
Thanks for the kind words dude, respect both ways.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:50 PM

Mimi you had enough attention today ;)
- June 7, 2011 at 3:51 PM
- Suburban said...
I'd spend it on Liquor, Fast cars and Prostitutes. The rest I'd just waste*
In fairness, can we all note how awesome it is that a company in Oman is attempting to harness the influence of local blogs and Twitter? I think that's pretty cool!
Tip to the hat to Channing Pollock, George Best, Etc...

- The Linoleum Surfer said...
I agree, it's good to see a more imaginative approach to advertising.
- June 8, 2011 at 7:08 AM
- Sythe said...
Lino - I was like.... whats Moussy? And then when waiting for my Nando's take-out last night I went on an adventure into the CCC building, or whatever they're calling it now.
I got two prizes - 1, a delightfully tacky and sparkly hat that I intend to wear on a golf day shortly. and 2 - I discovered what Moussy was... fruity beer, without the, er, bit that makes beer worth drinking.
I imagine they sell a lot of that stuff in Saudi and Kuwait... probably right next to the baking aisle too! ;)
- June 8, 2011 at 8:39 AM
- The Linoleum Surfer said...
I lived in Saudi Arabia for a few years, and yes, they do sell a lot of that. And sugar, dried yeast and bottles of "Rauch" fruit juice that come in a bottle with a flip top. Funny how people's tastes are.
You'd be surprised how genuinely popular it as among the non-drinking majority in these countries though. Especially surprising to me - I've tried it and it's vile. Peach ice tea is more like it for me, and if Lipton are looking for new media ad opportunities, I'd totally roll with it. For a very high fee. Until Raytheon come through...

Ronaldo pledges his future to Manchester United, Evra claims he is the best left back in the world & "can no decent home be found for poor little Michael Owen?"
Comment & analysis round-up
Quote of the day: "At the moment I'm only thinking about the [Champions League] final, independently of what will happen to me or my team-mates next season. I'm sure [Florentino] Pérez [who is expected to be elected Real president next month] would create an incredible team at Madrid, but at the moment I'm at United and I don't care about what happens there. I only care about what will happen next season at Manchester United." – Cristiano Ronaldo.
Runner-up: "Last year was last year and this is totally different but I was very proud of myself after that semi-final because I knew I'd done my job, I won't forget that, but this is a new year. Is he a better player now? Well, he's scored more goals this season and probably been more consistent so maybe it will be even tougher. The thing against Messi is, you can stop him 10 times but if he passes you once and scores, everyone will say 'Oh, Evra had a poor game'. That's why you have to be focused for the whole game against him… I had one bad game in the Carling Cup final and suddenly people were saying I wasn't the same player. I thought to myself, 'I've played for Manchester United for three years, I've had one bad game, and they're saying this?' So I was actually happy with the criticism because it made me believe that, yes, I am the best left-back in the world." – Patrice Evra. (To aid Evra, The Times have provided a helpful graphic of "how to stop Lionel Messi".)
Today's overview: The Manchester United-Barcelona Champions League final is already the talk of the backpages.
The Sun run with the non-story that Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov won't start in Rome, in an article titled "Tevez final insult." "Carlos Tevez will be a sub for the Champions League final in Rome — signalling his exit from Manchester United. He will be joined on the bench by Dimitar Berbatov for the game against Barcelona as Alex Ferguson sticks with the strikers who tore apart Arsenal in the semi-final. Tevez will see it as the final insult, proving that he must leave to get regular first-team football."
Steven Howard (The Sun) writes of the Carlos Tevez situation. "Well, if he really does want to play for United then I suggest he volunteer his services at Hull on Sunday. It's not as if he will have to save himself for Wednesday in Rome where, once again, he will be on the bench. Making himself available for United's contentious trip to Humberside would be a tremendous gesture to both United supporters who have taken Tevez to their hearts and to the game in general."
On Cristiano Ronaldo's latest comments confirming his desire to stay at Old Trafford, Oliver Kay adds that "United will now gauge whether Ronaldo's commitment is genuine by seeing whether he would be willing to discuss an extension to his £120,000-a-week contract, which runs until June 2012."
Matt Hughes responds to Lionel Mess's comments that Barcelona "deserve to win" the Champions League. "Barcelona can hardly be accused of not believing in their own publicity, as one would expect from an organisation whose slogan is 'more than a club'. The shock of being a minute from elimination at the hands of a Chelsea side whom the Catalan team viewed with contempt has clearly subsided, because Lionel Messi stated yesterday that Barcelona deserve to win the Champions League because of the quality of their football."Â
Also ahead of Rome, Sir Alex Ferguson in The Times "goes back to his roots to reveal what turned a young, abrasive shipyard shop steward into a legend of the game." Duncan White in the Telegraph asks "who will Ferguson pick in Rome?"
Pete Jenson in The Independent profiles Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola. "Guardiola has spent most of the season calming the euphoria that has surrounded a record points and goals haul in La Liga for Barcelona. He has often referred to himself as 'lucky' as those around him have tipped him to become the greatest manager the club has ever had. But as far as the venue for the final goes fortune has perhaps not smiled on him. After finishing his career at Barça, he went to Italy where he played for Roma in the Olympic Stadium. 'What memories do I have?' he said. 'Well, mainly I remember the bench! I didn't play too many games. They were intense years with some good times and some bad times too.'"
Looking ahead to Newcaste's do-or-die match against Aston Villa, Harry Pearson concentrates on Michael Owen. "Call me foolish if you like but I have to confess the current media campaign featuring heart-tugging photos of those moist, dark eyes set in that beseeching little face is upsetting my emotional equilibrium. Indeed hardly a day has gone by over the past month when I have not cast the newspaper aside of a morning, dabbed the salt tears from my cheeks and cried out, 'For pity's sake, can no decent home be found for poor little Michael Owen?'"
Further comment on Survival Sunday comes from Stan Bowles, who "doesn't care who goes down as long as it's Sunderland."
Also on the last day of the Premier League, The Independent salute Roy Hodgson. "Let us briefly celebrate an even more remarkable achievement: that of Roy Hodgson, the modest, wise old owl from Croydon, in taking Fulham from the narrowest possible relegation escape last season – on goal difference, by a goal scored 10 minutes from the end of the last match – to the brink of European Competition. If Fulham win or draw their last game against Everton on Sunday, they finish seventh in the table and will be on their travels."Â
With his final game for Liverpool approaching, Andy Hunter speaks with Sami Hyypia. "I won't like being the centre of attention, not at all. But in this case I have no choice, it is not like I am retiring. I have a new challenge ahead of me but it will be very emotional and it is better not to think about that too much before the game."
In other news this Friday morning, Cesc Fabregas has been cleared by the FA over the spitting row with Hull City's Brian Horton and Phil Brown. And all the papers also report this morning that UEFA are ready to throw the book at Didier Drogba for his antics after the Chamions League semi-final second-leg against Barcelona.
In almost the only article reveiwing the UEFA Cup final in any of the English papers, Jonathan Wilson explains what it will mean to a Shakhtar fan to have seen off Werder Bremen. "It's for the likes of Zenit and Shakhtar, Werder Bremen and Rangers, Sevilla and Sporting, Marseille and, yes, Middlesbrough. Their comebacks from three down against Basel and Steaua Bucharest in 2006 stand alongside the Wilf Mannion-inspired demolition of Blackpool in 1947 (the only game his future wife Bernadette ever attended) in the collective consciousness of the club – and football, surely, is about those memories rather than the ground-out draw that secures a comfortable 13th-place finish. Sides of that middling stature should be allowed a chance of success and the Europa League, as the Uefa Cup did, gives them a chance to dream, perhaps even to progress. So what if it's a secondary competition? Assuming you can find a sober Shakhtar fan in the next week, just ask them if it feels second rate."
The made up transfer stories this morning include Rafa and Harry's battle over Glen Johnson, Arsene Wenger to bid 15 million pounds for Brede Hangeland and Sebastien Bassong's comments that he will leave Newcastle if they go down.
The Daily Mail go with Chelsea and AC Milan chasing Emmanuel Adebayor and the news that Middlesbrough winger Adam Johnson has rejected a new deal at the Riverside. And The Mirror bring the surprise news that West Ham are looking to offload Dean Ashton this summer.

Dramatic scenes in tonight's Fair City episode as Phelans are taken hostage
Tonight's Fair City episode will see plenty of drama when Phelan's shop is robbed and Farrah is threatened with a syringe.
Desperate Pat Neary decides to rob the shop and takes Farrah, Renee, Hughie, Ciarán and Ellie hostage.
Actress Caroline Harvey, who plays Farrah, said the robbery is another episode in what has been an annus horribilis for the character.
"Her marriage ended with Max, her stepsister Heather almost tore the family apart, leaving Farrah to help raise her daughter. Just when things seem to be going back to normal, she is dealt a huge blow," she said.
But she said: "Farrah is a tough cookie - she's had to be - but will this be the straw that breaks the camel's back?"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing the reaction from viewers. I hope they enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed filming it."

Our New Home
Anyways, as some people might know, and some people might not, we have moved! We now live in Jordan Station, close to St. Catherines, ON. It's in a tiny subdivision out in the middle of vineyards. Dad walks back and forth to school every day and we've been walking to church too! It's very nice to live so close... much different from Dundas days.
As per Curt's request, here's some pictures of the main floor:
And Curt, here are two pictures of the downstairs appartment. (Sorry, I couldn't find any nice ones of the kitchen area... it's on the right of the first picture.) Mom took these pictures before we bought the house, so the stuff isn't ours. I hope you don't mind a nice, PINK room! It will certainly wake you up in the morning!
I can't say I like the colors of most of the rooms, but other than that, I do like the new place, especially being so close to everything (except work, that is). Now Ruth and I are both prescribing the exact opposite course we did all through high-school! (Before we drove from Hamilton to Jordan St every day, and now we're both driving from Jordan St. to Hamilton every day!) :) But we are very thankful for where we are now. God has definitely blessed us in
giving us a home right next to the school and church.
It's 11:24pm and I am beginning to remember why I didn't want to start a blog. I guess I had better sign off here. ¡Hasta luego a todos!

Welcome to blogging Matt! I am just stopping by to say hi and welcome. I am a friend of the reimers and tend to comment on blogs even if I haven't ever met the people so never fear...I am not a salesman or a spammer! Maybe a little stange but generally harmless. LOL Your new house looks really nice and i am happy to hear that you are all moved and settling in successfully. I have been keeping up on the progress of your move through Ruth's blog.

Thanks Matt!! We look forward to the newly painted walls of the apartment(or at least the presently pink ones) when we come in a week and a bit. ;)

Speaking of "elitist blogs", yours doesn't allow anonymous comments either... which has been met with disapproval. And I quote, "Do you think it very charitable for him to inflict the same misery on others who are holding out, just because he felt forced to create a blog? :)"
Hmm, might want to do something about that! As for the funny faces album --that road goes two ways!

Hello Rachel, (if you're reading this...) I'm sorry!! I know exactly how you feel about now being able to comment. I have rectified the situation, so that now you can comment away!
And to everyone else... yes, I think this definitely calls for some action. Funny faces coming soon!

Google Offers New Google Wallet Service!
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
We all know that Google Wallet isn't exactly rocking in popularity these days, as any other mobile payment system. Just recently, Google introduced that now Verizon has joined carrier billing, where you can charge apps to your phone bill, which is absolutely awesome! When this was also announced, so was the fact that any apps purchased under $1.00 would have a "30 minute money-back refund." It would seem that Google is on it's 'A' game and just dishing out all kinds of treats for Androidians everywhere! The most recent treat is Google has expanded to "mobile shopping."
So look out PayPal, you definitely got yourself some competition now! Yup, that is right, Google has expanded its Google Wallet system to incorporate a "more comprehensive digital payments platform." I would say that Google definitely has the right idea. Google Wallet will now support "mobile e-commerce websites." This is pretty much those websites that have PayPal as a form of payment, but instead will also sport the Google Wallet method as well.
The mobile method still needs some tweaks and fixes, as it causes "many form fields" in the processing area. This can be time-consuming and "cumbersome" for those on their mobile phones. Why? The small keyboards and touchscreens of course! Google released a statistic saying that 97% of "mobile shoppers" give up on a purchase for this exact reason. So, what did Google do? They went above and beyond, and now make it so "users can just click the 'Buy with Google Wallet' button, login into their Google account, and complete." It's just that simple! Amazing right? It definitely sounds a lot like "PayPal's Express Checkout" option, so I wonder what 'drama' this may cause? Will PayPal sue Google? Just kidding, but it will definitely add a huge competitor out there for PayPal.
So how does it work? You will need to have an account first. Then you add your credit cards, or debit cards along with your address for billing and shipping. You can also add any other payment information if you wish. There will also be an option to add a default card for any "future purchases." I really enjoy this feature, because then I don't have to deal with which payment method I want to use that is if you have more than one, which is really nice and will save you some time.
Some sites that have already partnered with Google are:
- 1-800-Flowers.com
- Rockport.com
- FiveGuys.com (Select Locations apply)
Future partners are:
- Finish Line
- MovieTickets.com
- Seamless
- SwimOutlet.com
I'm certain this will grow as more and more site companies come in-tuned with Google and it's services. I can't wait until this is incorporated everywhere! I just may have to get rid of my PayPal account! Well, maybe we shall see 😛
Google also have another special treat! If you go to the Google Wallet website, you will see at the top of the page, "The next version of Google Wallet, coming soon. Request an invite." HOW EXCITING!! I LOVE new things that are updated.
When you click on the link, it will prompt you to sign in. If you don't have one, this is where you would create one. The next prompt asks you what kind of mobile device you have. Once, you select your device, you then receive a thank you message and that when the new version is ready you will receive an invite. Sounds pretty exciting to me! I've definitely signed myself up, and you should too!
What do you think about this recent Google Wallet development? Would it be something you would use regularly? Would you drop PayPal for Google Wallet? We'd love to hear your thoughts and we welcome all sides and opinions!

"With its expected price point of under Rs 8,000, the Honor Holly would be the contender to beat in its segment"
Close on the heels of ZTE, which has started focussing on the Indian phone market with renewed energy with the launch of its budget-centric V5 (first impressions), its counterpart Huawei has also strengthened its product portfolio with the launch of an entirely new series dubbed as Honor for the upcoming festive season. The lineup includes its flagship Honor 6 (review), which takes care of the high-end segment, while the budget segment comprises the Honor Holly, along with the launch of a couple of tablets (stay tuned for our first impressions on them, coming soon).
What piqued our interest about Huawei's budget-oriented Holly smartphone is the fact that company claims it to be the "most affordable 5-inch HD quad-core smartphone with 16GB storage". Sadly, the brand hasn't announced its pricing or when exactly it will be going on sale, but based on the aforesaid statement, we can make an educated guess that its asking price would be in the ballpark of Rs 7,000 to Rs 8,000. With that in mind, the device caught our attention and we managed to get hold of it during the launch event to see what it has to offer. Here's what we found.
The Huawei Honor Holly bears a usual rectangular-shaped design, but instead of being blocky it features rounded corners and edges, making it very ergonomic to hold. The device has a dual-tone finish with the front in black and the rear in white. As usual, the front is largely covered by a 5-inch display that bears a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. During the brief usage, we liked the display and visuals reproduced by it. Apart from the display, you'll also find an earpiece, a few sensors and a secondary shooter along with the row of capacitive navigation keys at the front. Sadly, the keys aren't backlit, which is a bit of an issue since Huawei has implemented these keys in the reverse order compared to the standard setup, with the first key being used for back and the third key for accessing options. The purpose of the center key remains the same though – jumping to the main screen, initiating Google Now by long-press or opening the multitasking menu by a double-tap.
The right side gets all the keys with a metallic finish for increasing or decreasing volume and putting the device to sleep or wake it up. The top is where the 3.5mm audio socket lies, whereas the bottom edge houses a micro-USB port. The rear is home to the primary snapper and an LED flash, along with a speaker grille towards the bottom. The back panel features a glossy finish, which is prone to fingerprints and can slip after prolonged usage. It can be removed to access the SIM slots and microSD card slot as well as battery. In terms of handling, the smartphone doesn't come across as too bulky or thick, and fits well in the hands.
The performance division is handled by the MediaTek's MT6582 SoC with four Cortex-A7 cores ticking at 1.3GHz. Complementing the processor is a gigabyte of RAM. In our usage, we found the Huawei Honor Holly to be extremely smooth, but heavy 3D games might tell a different tale and hence we'd be able to give a verdict on performance when we review it.
What we really appreciate in the Honor Holly is that unlike most budget options, the smartphone comes loaded with 16 gigs of onboard storage. Users will be able to access approx. 12.7GB out of it, which is ample for installing apps and stashing multimedia files. It can be further extended up to 64GB with the use of a microSD card.
Software-wise, the handset runs Android KitKat with Huawei's proprietary skin called Emotion UI. Akin to other Chinese custom layers, Emotion UI does away with the idea of separate home screen and app drawer, and thus all the apps are placed on the home screen itself. The phone is also preloaded with some apps from Flipkart. There are several other customisations done by Huawei in the smartphone, but we weren't able to spend enough time with it to go into the details.
On the camera front, the Huawei Honor Holly offers an 8-megapixel Samsung BSI sensor with an aperture of f/2.0 at the back. For selfies and video calls, the device is equipped with a 2MP sensor at the front.
Connectivity-wise, the smartphone has support for the usual features like dual-SIM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Providing juice is a 2,000mAh battery. Huawei claims that the battery will last a whole working day for heavy users, while it can even last two days with moderate usage, thanks to company's patented 30 percent battery-saving technology.
It'd be difficult to conclude our hands-on impressions without knowing the exact pricing. But we are certain that the Huawei Honor Holly would be the contender to beat in the budget smartphone arena, giving a tough fight to the new breed of budget-performance offerings like the Xiaomi Redmi 1s (review | FAQs), Salora Arya Z2 (first impressions) and Oplus Xonphone 5 (review).

When addictions enters a family through one of it's members, the effects on everyone can be, and often are, absolutely devastating.
Alcohol or drug of any kind alter personalities, lead to extreme behaviour and can rip families apart as they try to struggle with the addict and his or her needs for the substance they crave. It can happen to any family at any time and came become an isolating and frightening experience, both for the addict and those who care for the,.
While doctors, specialist clinics and organisations such as Alcoholic Anonymous are there for the addicts, relatives and friends can struggle with their feelings alone. This ripple effect on those close to addicts has been understood for some time and groups around the country are available to help families to cope with what is happening to them.
If you have reason to believe that someone in your family has a problem, then contact one of the organisations listed. They understand your difficulties only too well, as many of the advisers have been there themselves. They will be pleased to offer any support they can.
Trisha's Tips
- To addicts – if you went to one dealer and didn't find what you wanted, you'd go on trying others until you did. Nothing short of that level of determination to succeed in getting free from drugs will help you or will work.
- To families – you can want the addict to get all the help in the world, but unless they genuinely want to help themselves, I'm afraid you're wasting your time.
- Heard of tough love? - Well, sometimes the best help you can give is to walk away. Many addicts have to be in the gutter and taste the dirt in their mouths before they will really look for assistance.

If you want to open a restaurant too, you need to consider all the aspects involved in a restaurant business before you put your money on it. Here are the five key steps in opening a new restaurant business.
Market analysis and business plan

You must do a thorough market research to know the current trend in the restaurant business. You need to find out what the competitors are doing. You need to develop a business plan stating proper direction and goals.
Getting fund for your business can be difficult. A study has revealed that more than 40% of small businesses that applied for a loan were turned down. So, you need to decide on your financing options before you start your business.
For a restaurant business, finding the right location is extremely important. You should set up your restaurant at a place where most of your target customers are. You need to decide on the type of property you are choosing. When deciding on a budget for your premises, you need to consider the costs of utilities and equipment. You should invest in good quality apparatus so that they last for a long time.
Regulations and licenses
You need to obtain a number of licenses for your restaurant business. These include music license, alcohol license, food hygiene certificate, public liability insurance,e building permit, etc.
Suppliers and staff
You should choose your suppliers carefully. Make sure you obtain fresh ingredients. You should find a good team to work at your restaurant. As it is a hospitality business, you should invest in training your staff to provide the best service to your customers.
You should concentrate on promoting your business. Besides giving away leaflets and placing ads, you should focus on digital marketing as well. You should have a nice website and join social networks to promote your business. If you complete all these steps properly, you will be able to start a successful restaurant business.

MASM is absolutely one of our favorite places to visit. Both of my children (ages 5 and 12) love the exhibits and the classes. We bought a membership after they begged regularly to visit and participate in more classes. As a homeschooling parent, I appreciate how the museum has reached out and asked how they can help us better educate our children in science topics. Their classes are meaningful, well planned, and packed full of knowledge. I love how MASM encourages and excites children (and adults) of all ability levels and backgrounds. What a wonderful treasure Mid America Museum is!
I have a homeschooled 4th and 6th grader that love to attend the museum. Over the past 5 weeks, my kids have taken part in a homeschool lab focusing on aviation. They have met once a week for 5 weeks. They have learned so much about aviation and also built many test models. They have throughly enjoyed the instructor, subject matter and other children. Thank you Mid-America Science Museum for partnering with me in educating my children.

"Andy Horton's latest book is not only refreshing, insightful, and effortlessly scholarly; it's also imbued with that rare quality so lacking in its fielda shameless sense of fun."Herschel Weingrod, screenwriter (Trading Places, Twins, Space Jam, Kindergarten Cop)
"Andy Horton does a masterful job of explaining the inexplicablethe elusive principles of comedy. The book is a celebration of those who have mined for humor in the most barren landscapes and struck gold. Horton emphasizes the importance of laughing in the face of adversity. These are more than good rules for writing. These are good rules for living."Barbara Hall, screenwriter (Northern Exposure, I'll Fly Away, Chicago Hope)


text: I just landed a 3 acre Church lot and its almost a $30,000 contract for the year. Heres a breakdown of the pricing. There are about 3 acres to mow and somewhere around 2000 total feet of sidewalk to edge. There is also 1500 total feet of beds to trim and edge. Mowing will be done at the price of $550.00 per week. Of course that includes trimming, edging and blowing. A 5 step fert/wc program will cost them $495.00 per application. Maintaing the beds and trimming the bushes 3 times a year at $540.00 per visit. A total of 55 yards of mulch will be bought and installed at $5400.00 Snow removal will be done at $600.00 for 1-5 inches and a 15% increase for every 2 inches after that. Straight salt will be applied at $375.00 per application. Im sure most of you are going to call me out on this and accuse me of lying. IM NOT. My point of sharing this is to tell all you guys who are cutting at $25.00 per acre that you can move elsewhere and make 2 or 3 or 4 or 5X that amount. Im a solo operator and this is 1/2 days work for me. They took my bid which was $78 per cut more then the company that was doing it last year and accepted it. My point is you guys dont have to work for peanuts. Make people pay you what you are worth! If you come across as hillbillies then you will get treated like one. We are all business owners. Obviously we are all smart enough to strike out on our own and take a chance! Make these people respect us just like they repsect every other "white collar" business owner.

Windowas Live Mail outbox "blocked"
I have used WLM for some time now with no issues. Today I received a message asking me to invest in a product. I replied that I had no interest in it. My reply could not be sent as my mail system said it was too big for my mails server to handle.
I deleted most of the body of the message and resent it.
The result is that when I try to open WLM I get the "sending" window with a full green line and I cannot open anything else.
I have tried to shut it all down with Task Manager with no joy - my email is completely useless.
Any suggestions please ?

Just to be sure download Malwarebytes and run it. If the outbox is still "blocked" we can navigate to it in an elevated CMD prompt from safe mode.
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a full system scan
Let us know the results at the end.

Thanks for your suggestion - in the meantime I have actually solved it!!!! - I hadn't re-booted the PC but had only put it into hibernation so I tried a full re-boot and - hey presto, I could delete the outbox contents.
Thanks, anyway, regards, Ian

Couple attacked in southeast Oak Cliff home
Dallas police performed a welfare check on New Year's Day and found an 83-year-old man murdered and his wife injured.
Choyce and Mae Moon were apparently attacked in their southeast Oak Cliff home on Red Bird Lane. The elderly couple is described a faithful church members and exceptionally kind.
Betty Latimer showed us the last bottle of water her friend Choyce Moon gave her during choir practice at Community United Methodist Church in East Oak Cliff. It was wrapped in a paper towel, which was his signature act of kindness.
"He sang in both choirs and just got along with everybody in the choir it was great I'm glad I had a chance to know him," Latimer said.
Dallas Police found Moon's body in his home Sunday morning around 11:30. The 83-year-old man's death was a result of what detectives would only describe as homicidal violence.
His wife Mae, a former teacher, was also found at the home seriously injured and was immediately taken to the hospital.
Sam Henderson lives just down the street from Mr and Mrs Moon. His family is confused as to why anyone would do this.
"I can't shake it I really can't shake it it's been bothering me ever since it happened," Henderson said.
As for a suspect, police would only say it is someone known to them.

In an SEC filing on Friday, US Airways suggested that it may have to enter the dreaded Chapter 22 (a second bankruptcy), unless it can get its costs in order by mid-summer. In the same filing, it noted that it may have to sell its Shuttle operation, which is a shame because flying the Shuttle is actually quite pleasant.
I think I mentioned this last time US Airways was threatening bankruptcy, but if you have US Airways Dividend Miles saved up, you may want to consider booking a ticket on United with those miles. I don't expect US Airways to liquidate, but the number of routes it flies (especially out of Pittsburgh) could be greatly reduced.

Termidor FOAM
Buy Now
Edward from Boca Raton, Fl writes,
How to disperse Termidor Foam?
I see in the Termidor foam label that for certain types of treatment, the foam must dissipate or be removed before leaving the area. I have some damaged wood that was treated and I thought the foam would dissipate by itself, but it has not. I do have to remove the foam so that I can repair the wood, but how should this removal be accomplished? Thank you for your help with this question.
Termidor Foam is an expanding foam that will start to dissipate after if fully expands and will leave behind a residual that will continue to kill termites for about 6 weeks following the application. Termidor Foam will not harden.

Tumour blood vessels are often in a state of disrepair because they are fragile and leaky. Researchers have found a way to normalise them and this could be way to deliver drugs into tumours more effectively.
"Keeping blood vessels that supply tumours with oxygen and nutrients in good condition could help stop the spread of cancer" explain Researchers at VIB (The Flanders Institute for Biotechnology).

- Look at the address bar of the page you just loaded and copy the URL of this website. The Best Solution is to Use a WordPress Theme Detector.
- Now that we have what we want to analyze, it's time to use the tool to analyze it with. Let's go to Whoiswp.

The Triangle UXPA's mentorship program is where we match UX industry professionals with newcomers to the field, students, and anyone interested in being mentored.
The mentor-mentee relationship can take a variety of forms. A mentor may provide career guidance, offer suggestions or directions on work-related issues, provide feedback on the mentee's work, help with educational resources, etc.
We ask that both mentors and mentees please fill out a brief questionnaire to participate in the Mentoring Program. After you complete the questionnaire, we will reach out to you.
At this time, we are not accepting new applications while the mentor program undergoes some format changes.
Want to be notified when we're taking additional submissions? Sign up here
Once you have established a mentor-mentee relationship, use our Mentoring Agreement & Guidelines to help you outline goals and set boundaries.
Level of commitment: It is essential that both parties have a realistic sense of the time commitment that each expects from the other before they begin to work together.
Shared areas of interest: The mentee's skills and experience levels will vary, as well as his or her interests and goals. The mentor should discuss areas of interest with the mentee before working with him or her.
Open, two-way communication: Both mentor and mentee should be active partners in the relationship, and both should feel free to discuss the progress of the relationship.
Mentoring is a personal relationship; as in any relationship, it can take time to develop. Getting to know a person is a gradual process. Keep a positive attitude and keep communication open.
Don't expect your mentee to work for you for free. If you feel comfortable giving your mentee an assignment related to a fee-based project you are working on, we suggest offering a stipend or some other form of compensation and don't forget any non-disclosure details.
While some mentoring relationships can lead to paid work, expecting your mentor to make a job offer is overstepping the boundaries of the relationship. A mentor can be a valuable resource for introductions and job leads. Your mentor is there to help and teach, not to hire.
For more information, contact the Triangle UXPA's Mentoring Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
