You've made your favourite cup from coffee with beans from some obscure place which no one has ever heard of. So, the coffee smells good, feels good and looks good. But once you drink it, it has the consistency of sand and tasted more like curdled milk. And that cup was meant for your Boss who is now screaming for his cuppa hours ago.
So what went wrong?
All of us were at the customer's place the whole day and can't figure it out. And tomorrow, the ordeal continues yet again, where if we can't solve this by Monday, heads are going to roll. My other team is still at another site, where the job must also be done by tomorrow, with me putting the finishing touches in the afternoon. My other colleague also has problems of his own, with his Dad critically in the Hospital while he is with his 2 week old daughter. Sigh.

1 lb. hot Italian sausage
1 package Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes
1 c. coarsely chopped peppers (I used mini sweet red, yellow, and orange)
1 package broccoli slaw
1 sweet onion, coarsely chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp. olive oil or other flavorful oil (I used walnut oil)
Remove casing, cut into little pieces, and brown sausage. Add in fresh veggies and oil. Cover and cook over medium low until veggies are slightly softened (about 15 minutes). Add canned tomatoes and simmer about 15-30 minutes more over low.
I didn't add seasoning, because the sausage and potatoes were seasoned.
Easy add ins: squash, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, any veggie! A great way to use up leftovers! This could also be cooked in the crock pot, but I would still brown the sausage first to give it a nice crust.
I served this with quinoa and green lentils cooked in the rice cooker.
This got rave reviews!!

"My Favorite Birthday Party EVER!"
Since today is Super Bowl Sunday, we had his birthday party last Sunday. Being a typical ten-year-old boy, his idea of birthday party nirvana was a paintball party at the local Marine Corps base. And this ideal party included every member of his family playing on his team--including Mom.
From left to right, that's Younger Son, Older Son, Oldest Son, Mom, and Dad. (Please ignore my shaggy grey hair. I haven't been to the stylist in a while.)
I would dearly love to show you the great picture of our backs, but I can't because they have our last name on them and my dear, paranoid husband won't let me display them on the internet. They also each have an individual number. From left to right (youngest to oldest), the numbers are 00, 97, 85, 69, and 57. Any guesses what they represent?
The shirts were Christmas gifts from Oldest Son, who had them made for the whole family. I just love that he did this. Even if I never play paintball again (and let me tell you, I won't if I have a choice), it's so cool to have family team shirts. It's cool that he thought of it in the first place. And the younger boys are so proud of their "real" paintball jerseys!
The party was awesome. The kids absolutely loved it. The title quote is from one of the boys' friends who had never played before. The paintball park is boy heaven. There are multiple fields and hundreds of men and boys in camouflage--some of them waaaaaay too into it, too, let me tell ya--and lots of mud and paint and running and crawling and shooting. All day. From 7:30 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon. What's not to like? (I mean, other than the camouflage, mud, paint, running, crawling, and shooting all day.) I think I saw a couple of other women, but I'm not sure. They might just have been small, chubby men. It's hard to tell under all that mud and paint.
The saving grace, for me, was that my husband wisely scheduled us as a private party, meaning our group played on its own field instead of in the general melee of the walk-on fields. At one point, I looked over at a walk-on field and saw two groups of about 40 people each running at each other and shooting. It looked like something out of "300". People were screaming and falling right and left. It wasn't pretty. Our group was much, much smaller, and involved a lot more strategy. After the first time I got shot in the body--as opposed to the face mask, hand, or gun--which left a black and purple bruise the size of a tennis ball on my hip, my strategy mostly ran to hiding behind things and waiting for the time to run out. As a matter of fact, at one point, I...um...sort of...fell asleep behind a bunker and when I woke up, everyone was gone!
By lunch time, the crouching, crawling, running, tripping, shooting, and getting shot had taken its toll. I was sore, stiff, and bruised, most of the skin was worn off my knees, and I was covered in paint and mud. While the troops were enjoying their pizza, I quietly used my cell phone to call and schedule a chiropractor visit and spa massage for the following morning. That was a good decision, considering it took me three tries to get out of the car when we got home. And even though I went to bed at 8:30 that night, my kids still think I'm a stud for playing paint ball, so it was worth it!

A backer of Star Citizen who sought to see their $4500 refunded after losing faith in the project has officially lost their case. The RSI small claims lawsuit was tossed out by the presiding judge, moving the matter to arbitration in spite of the fact that the backer in question offered their fiscal support before the company changed their terms of service.
Redditor firefly212 reported in from LAX airport in Los Angeles, California with the result of their June filing, which saw RSI/CIG successfully argue that the arbitration clause should be applied to their transaction. The judge hearing the case would not listen to arguments about whether the ToS change was conscionable, nor would they rule about RSI's argument that the game was playable and therefore earned its funding.
According to firefly212, RSI will not be refunding the portion of their money not covered in arbitration.
"I would like to thank all of you who have given helpful advice or offered words of encouragement," wrote firefly212. "Though I lost today, I don't want to come off as salty… I asked the court to answer some questions, and I got some answers."
Our Thoughts
While we're certainly glad that this backer got some answers out of the matter – even though they didn't get back their money – we still have to worry about what sort of legal precedent this might set for those who lose faith in Star Citizen and wish to back out. Of course, this is the risk one assumes when it comes to backing a Kickstarter project…but one does have to wonder where risk assumption ends and consumer protection begins.

We present a novel method of performing an 'open-door' cervical laminoplasty. The complete laminotomy is sited on alternate sides at successive levels, thereby allowing the posterior arch to be elevated to alternate sides. Foraminotomies can be carried out on either side to relieve root compression. The midline structures are preserved.
We undertook this procedure in 23 elderly patients with a spondylotic myelopathy. Each was assessed clinically and radiologically before and after their operation. Follow-up was for a minimum of three years (mean 4.5 years; 3 to 7). Using the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring system, the mean pre-operative score was 8.1 (6 to 10), which improved post-operatively to a mean of 12.7 (11 to 14). The mean percentage improvement was 61% (50% to 85.7%) after three years. The canal/vertebral body ratio improved from a mean of 0.65 (0.33 to 0.73) pre-operatively to 0.94 (0.5 to 1.07) postoperatively.
Alternating cervical laminoplasty can be performed safely in elderly patients with minimal morbidity and good results.

Varnishing windows
The label "renovations" has been hardly used over the last year. Last summer I hardly did more than some small correction paintings with my big belly...forbidden to stand on ladders and to breath paint fumes.
However we already bought some varnish to reprotect & feed the woodwork on the house. And this weekend I started, ...one Kabouter nap at a time, ...
It's not a big change, no visitor will state how nicely we've done the windows, but I can see the difference, especially when compared to the neighbours's windows just next to it. The wood looks much "fatter" fed.
And now the entire side wall in wood remains to be done....that'll take a hell lot of Kabouter naps to achieve ;). And then the whitening of the walls can be refreshed, then the roof and of course we still need to renovate the attic. ha houses, you are never bored with them .

The musings, observations and procrastinations of T's critic at large Jody Rosen.
I've spent more blissful hours in the company of Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, the gruff Paris police detective in Georges Simenon's famous mystery novels, than I have with all but a few friends and family members. So when I heard that Penguin was bringing out new editions of all 75 novels in the Maigret series, I felt like throwing a party. Ideally, such a celebration would take place in an old Paris brasserie, and would feature a Maigret-style sequence of smokes and libations — copious pipefuls of shag tobacco, a mug or two of grog to weather-treat the liver, a bottle of strong red table wine, then an Armagnac, then some glasses of warm beer, then three more Armagnacs, topped off with a Pernod to clear the sinuses and defog the mind's windshield.
An Inspector Maigret mystery is like a shot of good liquor: sharp, tasty stuff that delivers a sock to the senses when you swallow it in a single gulp. The books are short, averaging about 150 pages or so. For a working journalist, they're perfect palate cleansers. I've been sucking down the new Maigret editions, in order, as they're published — taking them medicinally, between deadlines or bouts of writer's block.
What Simenon serves up, in addition to thumping entertainment and a very Gallic blend of misanthropy and sensuality, is inspiration: The example of one of history's heroic graphomaniacs, a great writer who evidently was never blocked, who churned out hundreds of novels at an Olympian pace. (He told interviewers that it took him 11 days to write a book.) Simenon managed this feat by devoting himself to simplicity and economy. He wrote clear-eyed, sturdy, beautiful sentences that sketched people and places in brisk strokes: "The city looked as if it had been washed in clean water, so bright were the colors"; "She walked ahead of Maigret with that aggressive dignity of those for whom mockery is the worst calamity"; "Big Louis' features looked swollen; one cheek was bigger than the other, or simply seemed so because of the way he always tilted his head to one side. Puffy flesh, and big eyes that seemed to start from his head." Simenon's best lines chime like poetry. Here he is describing a chance meeting between Maigret and a harbormaster in a foggy seaport town: "They shake hands, like two phantoms in the mist. And life goes on in the fog, where one may suddenly bump into an invisible man."
I've got those sentences underlined in the copy of "The Misty Harbor" that's sitting on my bookshelf. But full disclosure: I didn't read the novel. I listened to it. I've been taking in the new Penguin translations through earbuds, on the audiobooks that audible.com has been releasing at a rate of two per month. All of the novels are performed by Gareth Armstrong, an English actor, author and veteran audiobook narrator. Armstrong is a masterful reader; in his recordings, Simenon's novels are transformed into riveting radio theater. I've been reading the Maigret books for 25 years, but they've never leapt to life as vividly as they do when I cue them up on my iPhone. I'm as captivated by Armstrong's virtuosity as I am by Simenon's.
Armstrong voices all of the characters that slink through Maigret's noir world: gangsters, beat cops, prostitutes, merchant seamen, nightclub owners, Riviera playboys, grumpy concierges, sad bourgeois matrons. Of course, it's Maigret himself who commands center stage. The voice that Armstrong gives the detective, a baritone rumble, captures Maigret's violence, his irritability, the tenderness that lurks somewhere deep beneath his black overcoat. You hear Maigret huffing and puffing as he wrestles with a gun-toting thug; you hear him smacking his lips as he eats a leg of lamb. You hear his physical bulk — Simenon frequently likens Maigret to a bear — and you hear the weight of the burden he shoulders, the world-weariness of a gumshoe whose investigations often lead to the most hardbitten corners of Paris and most squalid regions of the human heart. Some Simenon fans regard the Maigret books as second-rate, professing a preference for the writer's bleak romans durs ("hard novels"). But Maigret is one of the great characters in literature. I adore the Maigret mysteries because I love spending time in Maigret's company. Which, these days, means that I love listening to Gareth Armstrong.
Recently, Armstrong spoke to me by phone from his London home about the art of audiobook reading, about Simenon's writing and about Maigret's long, boozy lunches.
You're an experienced actor, but the kind of performance that's called for on an audiobook is different than what you might do onstage or onscreen. How did you develop these skills?
I've been reading aloud since I was a child. My father was a Presbyterian preacher, and I used to have to read the Bible in church. I suppose that took away the fear of reading out loud.
I also did a lot of radio as a younger actor. Occasionally, I read stories on radio. That was really my training — my vocal training, if you like. In the States, of course, you once had a lot of radio drama. Orson Welles, people like that, used to make the most fabulous plays on radio. In the U.K. we still have that tradition. Every day, you can hear a new play on the radio here. When you do an audiobook — particularly a book like a Maigret, which is a short novel — it's really in that radio drama tradition. It's a bit like doing a one-act play, all by yourself.
How do you prepare for a Maigret recording? What's your process?
The preparation takes longer than the recording itself. Nowadays, you get the text of the book as a PDF. It used to be that you got a paper script. If it was a long book, that could be five or six hundred pages. But now they send you a PDF, and you can annotate it on your iPad which means that you can highlight the different characters, write down what sort of voices you'll be using for the various characters. So I read the book once, putting the names by the side of the characters and deciding on the voices. Then I read the whole book a second time. And then I do the recording.
How long does it take to record a Maigret, generally? The books tend to run about three hours. How long are you in the studio?
We record a book in a day. The whole book in one day. It's a pretty full-on day. But it's good, because then you get the continuum of the story. It means that you can get characters' voices in your head and reproduce them accurately. If you recorded over two or three days, you might lose some of the nuances, some of the vocal nuances. Obviously, if you make a mistake, which inevitably one does quite a lot, you simply go back and start the sentence again. We have very fine editors who cut and paste the thing together. Of course you hope that the reading sounds seamless, as if it hasn't been edited.
There are two voices, two accents, that you use in all the Maigret audiobooks. One is the voice of omniscient narrator — Simenon, if you will. The other voice, of course, is Maigret's.
The voice of the narrator is my natural narrating voice. It's the voice I use when I'm recording a nonfiction book. As for Maigret: From the descriptions of him you get in the books, you realize he's a big guy. I'm not a big guy at all. I'm quite slight. But I thought that he would have a very rich baritone-type voice. And that he would be laconic in his delivery, because he's pretty laid back, in his way. I tried to get a bit of warmth into it too, because although he's not overtly friendly, I do think there's a humanity about him that you need to be able to recognize from his voice. There needs to be a quality there where you think: Whatever this guy's doing, he's doing it for the right reasons. Even when he slightly steps outside the law.
Obviously these books are translated into English; you're not reading the original French. You've chosen to read them in an English accent, as opposed to, say, in French-accented English. And you've given the characters various English accents that signify class and regional differences. So when there's a Parisian thug, you voice him as a kind of East End cockney.
It's an approach that my producer and I took a little while to decide upon. I've got a terrific producer called Paul Kent. He actually got me the part. Like me, he's a complete Maigret freak. Anyway, Paul and I decided that it would be foolish to try to put on French accents for all the characters, when the narration is in English. As for the regional accents — it's quite a tricky thing. I sort of decided that Brittany would be the equivalent of the West Country in England. In other words, I give characters from Brittany a West Country, a slightly rural, accent. The Parisians have an urban accent; they sound like Londoners. You have to very carefully decide on things like status, class, the way those things are reflected in the voice and accent of each character.
Of course, there are French words in the text, too. Fortunately, Paul speaks perfect French. My French is a real schoolboy French. So I rely on him entirely for pronunciation. Because listeners that know French will be really irritated if you get a place name wrong. Or, you know, if you mispronounce somebody's surname.
You have to voice lots of female characters in the Maigret audiobooks. Is that a challenge?
Well, of course, most fiction has both men and women in it. I do a lot of audiobooks, so I'm used to voicing women. Simenon creates such wonderful rich characters, male and female. I think he's particularly good with the female characters. He's quite old-fashioned in his view of women — there's quite a lot of sexism in his work. He generally describes the way a woman looks before he describes what sort of person they are. He can be harshly judgmental of his female characters. But I think he understands them. Simenon obviously loved women. That comes across, I think, in what he writes. Despite his sexism.
You said that you were a big Maigret fan prior to landing this gig. What was it about the books that grabbed you?
I grew up with "Maigret," the black-and-white television series that ran on the BBC in the early 1960s. And I remember seeing "Maigret" and loving the stories, and then finding my way to the books. Maigret is such a rich, empathetic character. But it's also the way Simenon conjures up France and Paris. It's hugely attractive. For us in England, the French are our closest neighbors but their attitude to life, their attitude to food, to drink, to socializing — it's so differnt. There's something exotic, something appealing, about entering into that other culture. The last book I read, for instance, Simenon wrote that Maigret went into breakfast, and he had sausages and half a liter of white wine. That was breakfast! [laughs] Maigret goes out for these enormous lunches in the middle of the day — he has half a bottle of burgundy and two brandies. And then he goes back to work!
In certain books, Maigret will get stuck on a particular tipple. He'll spend half the novel popping into brasseries for a Calvados.
Yes. Yes.
You're under contract to do the whole Maigret series. You've recorded a couple of dozen so far. Do you have favorite novels in the series?
We're recording the books in the order in which they were written. And I suppose like any series of novels, they get better. The early ones are terrific, but they're nothing like the ones I'm recording at the moment. I think I'm on book 25 in the series. I just read one called "Cécile Is Dead," which is absolutely wonderful. I mean, it's the most beautiful, evocative novel, full of wonderful characters and great storylines. In a way, I think it's a shame if listeners start with the first one, because Simenon's kind of finding his feet — just getting to know Maigret, getting inside Maigret. By the time you get 15, 20 books in, the whole picture is so rounded out.
The early novels are very often set by the water. He writes a lot about canals and sailors. Simenon obviously had a passion for boats. The way he conjures up those worlds is fantastic.
Those settings are so atmospheric. So dank.
You can feel and smell it. He conjures up all the senses.
You could say there's a spiritual dankness in the Maigret stories, too. There are a lot of nasty, sordid people and events in the books. Simenon took a pretty dim view of humanity. Yet underneath it all you sense his empathy.
I think that's Maigret's experience of life. He's dealing with the scum of the earth a lot of the time, you know. But he's very humane. In the last book I read, there's a woman who has a very sad life. She's a prostitute. She's a drug addict. And at some point she starts to get withdrawal symptoms from cocaine. Maigret opens a desk drawer, takes out a little sachet of cocaine, and slips it to her, not letting anyone see him. He knows that this woman is in this terrible state. He knows he's never going to cure her addiction. So why not ease her pain? And very often, you know, Maigret lets people off. He forgives people. If he thinks that their crime is in any way justifiable, he moves on.
You know Simenon pretty well at this point. Do you notice his tics, his mannerisms now? Do they books begin to feel formulaic? Do you ever say, "Oh, there he goes again — old Simenon, doing his schtick"?
No, I actually appreciate him more as we go along. I can't remember ever recording books that have given me such pleasure. I really look forward to these recording sessions. We record one every three or four weeks. It's such a highlight — a day of recording a Maigret! And the preparation is a pure pleasure, too. I have to say, that's not true of all audiobooks. [laughs]

Is it true that Florida has now lifted the ban on felons voting, and now white voters are the minority there ?
Has this got something to do with Trump winning Florida in 2016 ?
Florida Amendment 4, also the Voting Rights Restoration for Felons Initiative, is an amendment to the Constitution of Florida passed by ballot initiative on November 6, 2018, as part of the 2018 Florida elections. ... Amendment 4 passed with 64.55% of voters in favor.
I did find out that non hispanic whites under 70 y/o in Florida now are only 49.9% of the population.
That's who are the minority now, not all whites. Ny original question contained errors regarding just who was a " white minority".

It is hard to tell for sure because you do not need to note your race when voting. According to the 2017 American Community Survey (the rolling survey that replaced the Long Form of the Census), the non-Hispanic white population of Florida is approximately 54.9% of the population. As in most states, non-Hispanic whites are a larger proportion of the "native born population" and Hispanics are a larger proportion of the "foreign born" categories (for both naturalized citizen and not a citizen categories). Thus, non-Hispanic whites are a slightly larger proportion of the citizen category than 54.9%.
The problem with using under 70 y/o as your data point is that there is a minimum voting age (18) and no maximum voting age. So you are excluding voters and including non-voters. If you look at the under 18 data, you will see that non-Hispanic whites are a minority of that groups; so the over 18 population is even more white than the 54.9%
Looking at the under 18 population (and the fact that over 95% of the under 18 population is native born), it is likely that in the near future, Florida will me a minority majority state.
Of course that is a separate issue from whether voting rights should be restored after the completion of a felony sentence. Not surprisingly, every U.S. state has a different rule on whether ex-felons can vote. (In my state, the rule has been that upon completion of probation or parole ex-felons can vote.) Even the most liberal U.S. state tends to have a more restrictive rule than that followed by other democracies like Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia.

In 2018 Florida voters approved a ballot measure which repealed the lifetime ban on voting for most felons. Murderers, rapists, and I believe other violent criminals are still banned from voting, but people with non violent felonies can now vote. The Florida legislature passed a law related to this saying that felons have to complete their whole sentence, including parole/probabtion, and pay back all fines that they might have incurred. This will keep some people from voting.
Whites are not a minority in Florida, let alone a minority of voters (there are only IIRC three "majority minority" states in the US: California, Hawaii, and Texas). The felon enfranchisement law is expected to give the vote back to something like one or two hundred thousand voters. How many of those will exercise that vote is another question.

No, that is NOT true...........
they lifted the ban on EX-FELONS. Not current felons. They restored the rights of people who served their time and paid their debt to society-----so they argued the LIFE LONG punishment of not being able to vote was UNFAIR.
If a debt is paid.......then it's paid........you shouldn't be penalized for it, forever.
I believe those that are not too poor must also pay back any monetary costs to victims or the courts before they get their voting rights back, and sexual criminals or murderers never can .( unless it;s on an individual case by case basis pardoned by the Governor).

How Does the Kindle Work in Canada?
How Does the Kindle Work in Canada?
Amazon's Kindle eBook reader is one of the most popular new gadgets this decade. The first group of Kindles sold out within hours and was out of stock for months.
Despite their popularity, the original Kindle had a major flaw — it was available only in the United States. International customers were out of luck.
The Basics
In October of 2009, Amazon released the international version of the Kindle 2. The Kindle 2 is an improvement on the original Kindle for many reasons, the most relevant to those outisde of the USA is that it works on a different mobile wireless platform. The Kindle 2 can use popular platforms like GSM, EDGE, 3G, and other networks that allows Kindle access to over 100 countries.
But how does the Kindle work in Canada? Is it the same experience as the American version? What about the type and number of books available for purchase?
Canadians will find they receive the same quick download times (about 60 seconds for an average download) as Kindle users in America. Access to 3G, EDGE, and GPRS networks is free, with no contract required and no additional fees. Unlike the original Kindle, there's no need to rely on spotty and hard-to-find Wi-Fi networks.
About the download library — complex laws that control Amazon's ability to publish eBooks mean that there are fewer titles available for the Kindle in Canada than in the United States. However, Canadian users still have a library of over 330,000 titles available for download. Amazon says they are working with publishers to add more every day.
Your Kindle 2 device will ship with a United States power adapter. These adapters support 100V to 240V outlets. If you wish, you can charge the device with the included USB cable via your computer. This same USB cable can be used to transfer personal documents to your Kindle from your computer. Unlike in America, wireless transfer of these documents is currently not available in Canada. Access to blogs and other websites is not available on the Kindle in Canada, although your device will have free access to Wikipedia.
One downside for Canadian customers is download price — Kindle prices in Canada are slightly higher than in the United States. This means that New York Times Bestsellers and New Releases will run you $11.99, and many titles cost less than that. Amazon advertises that 115,000 titles available in Canada cost under $5.99 for the download. Yes, these are US Dollar prices — all Kindle prices are given in the good old greenback — so those New York Times Bestsellers are about $12.46 in Canadian dollars, and the cheapest books on the Kindle will run you $6.22.
Canadian Kindle 2 users report a shipping issue that is a bit bothersome — sending the Kindle device internationally makes the device subject to customs and import taxes, which Amazon.com lists for you when you order the Kindle at their website. A bit of good news for Canadians — the Kindle's 1-year warranty still applies in Canada.
The Kindle 2 opened up a whole new market for Amazon — international customers. Canadians can jump on the Kindle bandwagon and enjoy basically the same functionality as their neighbors to the south.

Building more muscles is one of the struggles of many people who exercise in gym is how to build more muscles. Lots of us have suffered plateaus after the initial excitement seeing a bit of muscle on our bodies.
Some of you guys will be searching online for a programme that will get you more muscular, some will be on YouTube searching for the perfect exercise. Some will train 7 days this week or train even longer in the gym.
If the truth be known ALL the above will do is set you back further in your quest to building a more muscular body than before. Why and how do I know that? I have been there, worn the t-shirt as they say.
Ya sure there are some cool workouts in this or that magazine, but what you don't know is what stage the athlete that is performing these workouts is at.
I train with some buddies in the gym from time to time, one it is nice to challenge myself against somebody and two it helps having somebody next to me watching my form. My buddies aren't as advanced in their level of fitness nor experienced as I am so when they come to do a workout with me they cannot keep up.
Sure they might be able to lift heavier weights on certain exercises but really that is not the be all and end all. You have to be able to combine all the variables of the programme to make any progress. Otherwise any Tom, Dick and Harry would walk into a gym and lift heavy weights and that would be that!
Did you know these magazines are owned by supplement companies? Some of the athletes in these magazines well let's just say they have a bit more of an advantage than the likes of you and me (You know what I mean)? I mean heck some of these workouts would floor a gorilla! What do you think it will do to your body?
I have tried to be as brief as possible and break down the information here into one article but I couldn't really as I felt if I did I would leave you guys short.
So building more muscles fast when you have been training a while requires a few tweaks here and there and following protocols that you wouldn't worry about if you were just starting out.
"The skills that got you into Egypt aren't the same skills that will get you into the Promised Land" Dan Sullivan
Like a professional tennis player, in their 1st season they do really well. Big serve massive forehand and hits lots of winners from the baseline.
Their second season won't be as well as by then his/her opponent has worked out their strengths and weaknesses. The element of surprise has gone and he/she will have to come out with new ideas.
No longer can that person keep hitting the same winners from the baseline, or keep serving ace after ace.
Their opponent can read the direction of the serve and of the shot. They are able to react that split second faster enabling them to get to the shot and get it back over the net.
They have studied videos of this newbie; they have played him many times over the season. The element of surprise has gone. That person will have to come up with new shots such as the drop shot or come into the net.
The same principle applies to our bodies. As our muscles adapt to certain stimulus we have to continually find new ways to force it to grow.
The more advanced you get in your workouts, the trickier it gets to consistently make new muscle gains.
"Artists get better by sharpening their skills or by acquiring new ones; they get better by learning to work, and by learning from their work". David Bayles.
The most important factor that we need to do every time we train is…? TENSION!! I repeat, Create TENSION on the target muscle. Call it constant contraction of the muscle if you will.
You are not giving your body a good enough reason to say "Oh boy that was hard work". "I sure don't want to go through this again" if you are not training with tension.
To do this you need to use perfect form and leave your ego at the door. It might take a little bit of time to get there and wipe out the crappy old techniques but once you do get there you will get results faster and more frequently than what you have been experiencing.
Your body moves in patterns which are stored in the brain. The scientific term is called "Engram".
The best example that I can give you with building muscle is doing a bent over rear delt exercise.
The rear deltoid muscle is a small muscle and so it is difficult to use a lot of weight.
Most people don't know isolate the muscle so they use heavier weights with crappy form and/or because they have no mind to muscle connection.
Other muscles are being brought into it. What is needed is initiating with the target muscle.
So the body will fire up the muscles in no particular order the Rhomboids, Triceps, Lower Back, Hips and so on.
The good news is that these can be erased and replaced by new patterns as we start to learn proper form. This will result in more muscles with less weight.
Here is what you also need to do to build more muscle…
- Create tension on the target muscle – as discussed above to break down the muscle fibres.
Arching your lower back and pushing your chest out during dumbbell shoulder presses will do nothing to build your shoulders!
- Improve posture by strengthening/stretching weaker, shortened or imbalanced muscles – A tight muscle is a weak muscle.
Limitations in the range of motion are an indicator that muscles that move you into that position have lost the ability to contract properly and they can't shorten.
If the muscles cannot contract properly then cannot stabilise the joint.
Since they cannot shorten the antagonist or opposite muscle cannot lengthen properly.
If the muscle cannot fire properly in the way they are used to the natural neurological response when the body senses instability it will tighten up as a protective measure.
- Stick to your prescribed programme. Don't do an advanced programme if you are a beginner.
Progressive overload is the name of the game.
Focus on intensity and only add more volume if you can handle it with the same intensity
"The best workout is the one that you follow." – Unknown
- Avoid ego lifting – This is a favourite of mine.
Using your bodyweight to assist you in doing triceps pushdowns so you can stack the whole weight will not stimulate your triceps to grow! Nor will winging the bar when doing bicep curls.
- Train with Intentions to create even more tension – Find ways to make the exercise harder not easier!!
Your body is already trying to make the exercise easier for itself so why on earth are you trying to do the same?
Learn how to train with intensions here
- Tempo is directly responsible for the training effect that you are after– Muscles grow better on the eccentric (negative) part of the lift.
The muscles contract (shorten) on this part of the lift. Slow down the eccentric part of the lift and bring the weight down under control.
The Biceps respond better to time under tension than weight selection. Remember 21's?
Tempo is directly responsible for the training effect that you are after
- Overtraining has been blown out of all proportion – Training for 4 hours a week is not overtraining guys!!
Scientific definition of overtraining – Long term first decline in performance accompanying symptoms like disturbed sleep, irritability, change of attitude, perception of pain in the gym is lower.
- Plan an overreaching phase into your training programme –
Definition of Overreaching or overwork – means a short period of increased work that deliberately exceeds your abilities
- Stick to prescribed rest times – If the programme dictates 30 second it is 30 seconds for a reason.
Stick to it or you will be training with energy that you are not supposed to have which will hinder your progress.
Leave chatting with the hot chick with a cute butt until after your workout.
"The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus." Bruce Lee
Stay tuned for part 2 very soon. Look out for the email…

Reviews (4.7 out of 5 Grommets)
Fabulous tweezers! very high-quality.....the two ends come together with Precision which makes it very easy to grab a splinter or a stubborn facial hair. Love love love the container. It prevents any bending or damaging of the tweezers. Thank you for inventing this high-precision tool.
All I can say is Uncle Bill is a genius. Best tweezers I have ever used and the little storage tube makes it that much better. Totally pleased with this little purchase!
My spouse has been building furniture for years and is constantly getting splinters. This has eliminated the painful digging to get splinters out. Wonderful product.
I gave away two and kept one for myself. I love having tweezers on hand whenever I need them, and since they are in their own little case, I can keep them in my purse and they don't get all linty.....
Very useful product
I have bought these for all my golfing friends, they are great for removing prickles here in Arizona.
Small so not scary to the little ones. Great control and grip even for tiny sluvers.Buy more than one so you can carry in purse, car, etc.
I had a pair for years and have been looking for a replacement. Very glad The Grommet is offering these! they are the best tweezers I've ever used.
I can't say enough good about this tweezer! It removes hairs and slivers better than advertised.
I have been looking for these tweezers since one of my kids lost ours years ago! I'm originally from West Hartford, Connecticut and bought our first pair at Halls Market on Park Rd. 30 years ago. You'd think that I would remember to stop in there when we go back to visit! I have bought many different brands of tweezers over the years that claim to be for removing splinters and none have been as sharp as Uncle Bill's or as easy to use. Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers make splinter removal quick and easy so there's much less pain involved. I'm ordering several so that my kids and friends can have their own!
The Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers Story
Get A Grip
So what makes Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper so special? Unlike conventional tweezers that are made by spot-welding two pieces of metal together, the Sliver Gripper is crafted from a single piece of spring-tempered stainless steel. The pointed tip is honed by hand so it's unbelievably precise. The inventor, Uncle Bill, created the tweezers in his basement workshop. Today they're manufactured in West Hartford, Conn., by a company that kept the Uncle Bill name to pay homage to his big little invention. One of Uncle Bill's largest customers is the U.S. military — soldiers keep a pair with their dog tags. If the Sliver Gripper is good enough for use in the trenches, then you know it's something you need to have in your first-aid kit… and in your makeup case, sewing bag and toolbox.

Your current investment strategy may seem somewhat risky, dangerous even; but it is time to step up to the plate and swing away. Decisions made now will likely be good ones and stand to positively impact your life on many levels, says today's horoscope.
Use your head, but don't be afraid to move boldly. .
There is more than one side to every story and that's something you'll need to remember at this time. Someone at work may not be being entirely honest.
It is especially important that you present a mellow facade on the work front today. Aggressive behavior or posturing will not help your case.
If you're having financial problems don't be afraid to seek out the help of someone close to you. An older head has some good advice for you this time.
Use your personal charm and magnetism to get people to see things your way. There's nothing wrong with using your natural gifts. If you've been trying to get a business partner to come in with you on a deal now may be the time.
You're feeling the urge to travel right now and this is a good time for it. If you plan a bit, you can turn a fun trip into a work-related adventure and still have a good time.
You shouldn't rely too heavily on the help of those around you at this time. For some reason, they're just not willing to invest in your current scheme.
This is a good time for decisive thinking on your part. Your bold financial decisions will work out to your advantage in the long run. Keep focused on the task at hand.
How you go about gathering the facts you need says as much about you as will the decision you finally reach. Always make your actions above reproach.
All your hard work and determination will not go unnoticed by higher ups at work. Set your mind to the work before you and keep on pushing.
You need to speak openly and honestly with someone at your office or place of business about a problem that's been bothering you. Be kind, but honest in all you say.
If you're considering a move to a new line of work, it could be a good thing. But you may find you miss the familiarity of old faces and places once you're gone.
It may have been a long time since you truly felt happy at work, but that's about to change. Don't sit on the sidelines any more, but dive right in!

I look down upon thy face my love,
Eyes that looked into mine,
Seeing deep within my very soul,
Are closed as if asleep.
Lips that brushed my cheek like the wings of butterflies,
Bringing love and life into my body,
Look pale and drained of life.
No more do I hear thy voice,
Bringing forth sweet words,
That sang to me in love,
Now sings with choirs of Angels
Arms strong and reassuring,
Holding me close in the dark of night,
Lie still and lifeless,
My heart feels dead, yet within, my body cries in pain.
Never again shall you and I together,
Watch the awakening of a new day,
Nor see the sun sink deeply into the evening sky,
A veil of darkness falls over me.
Death has taken thee from me,
And yet my love, in me you live,
Your voice, your touch, your breath,
Within my heart you live forever

Though the exact number of fatalities hasn't yet been ascertained but reportedly nearly 50 people have lost their lives in New Zealand when they had gathered at two Mosque – Masjid al Noor in Central Christchurch and the other in suburban Linwood – for Friday Prayers but fell victim to a terrorist attack.
In a statement, the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that details were not yet clear, "but I can tell you now – this will be one of New Zealand's darkest days".
The New Zealand Police has taken four people including three men and a woman into custody; however declined to confirm the precise number of casualties but said "it is significant."
"We are speaking with those people. Police are still treating this incident as ongoing and Christchurch residents are strongly urged to stay indoors and keep safe," the police said.
Meanwhile two separate videos are surfacing on social media, in which it can clearly been seen that the terrorist armed with loaded rifles himself live streamed the massacre.
New Zealand: terrorists at Masjid Noor. The terrorist Live streamed the massacre.
Do you notice that world's media is not calling them terrorists but shooters…..
دنیا کے کسی میڈیا نے اسے دہشتگردی یا Terrorism نہیں کہا 🤔https://t.co/grYOXYZrvO
— Zaid Hamid (@ZaidZamanHamid) March 15, 2019
Talking to media, Pakistani High Commissioner in New Zealand said that it is the first ever incident in New Zealand. He said that we are in contact with the Pakistani Community, and no report about a Pakistani casualty has so far been received.
"We will contact with the Foreign Office, if any report regarding this is received," he said.
Separately, strongly condemning the tragic terrorist attack in New Zealand, the Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal also said that our High Commission is in constant touch with the local authorities, trying to ascertain further details.
In a tweet on Friday, the Spokesperson said the Pakistani High Commission has designated Minister Political Syed Moazzam Shah as focal point for the purpose.
In the meantime, the Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand was called off following the Christchurch Mosques attack.
Bangladesh had to play the third Test against New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, beginning on March 16.
The visiting team was also traveling to the Christchurch Mosque for Friday Prayers; however luckily all members of the Bangladesh Cricket Team remained safe.

Beautiful golden and copper colors are everywhere during fall in northern NM.
There is a nice article (excerpted below) about Craft Beer Hikes in Northern NM by New Mexico writer Jessica Lynn on Fundafeast … there is a 25% off special on this Saturday's (10/24) Craft Beer Hike by using promo code PP1025 at Prime Passages
(Excerpt from Fundafeast … )
… We all know drinking and driving is a big no-no, but what about drinking and hiking? Small business Prime Passages is mixing two favorite pastimes in Los Alamos, New Mexico, with their new tour, "Craft Beer Hiking in Northern New Mexico," and we think it's going to be a huge hit.
Beer hikes aren't entirely new — they're pretty common in parts of Bavaria, and Germany, where hike leader Kevin Holsapple lived for several years while he was in the military — but he wanted to show the activity some love in America. "I love to hike and I love beer culture so this naturally became a favorite activity of mine. With the resurgence of interest in good beers in the US, it gave me the thought of seeing if there might be interest in beer hiking here," he says.
Some areas in Bavaria have some of the largest concentration of small breweries in the world, and while America doesn't have the density of breweries found in parts of Germany, the interest is here, so he's running with it…or climbing with it, as the case may be.
While craft beer is trending across the country right now, New Mexico seems to have experienced a craft-beer boom in the past several years. According to the New Mexico Brewers Guild, there are more than five dozen breweries around the state, with more popping up all the time.
Craft Beer Hiking in Northern New Mexico visits one brewery and two pubs, all of which serve a variety of craft beer. At each stop, the beer hiking enthusiast gets to try a flight of beers, so they can taste and sample a selection of the local brews. The two pubs offer a variety of micro-brews (it's possible to sample 15 different microbrews over the course of the tour), and the cool thing about visiting the brewery is that you get more than just a tasty drink — you get a fun experience, and you get to learn about the local community.
One of the stops along the hike is at Bathtub Row Brewery, and besides just having a really cool name (it's located next to one of the most influential, but unknown streets in America), it's one of the country's only co-operatively owned breweries.
Co-op members actually own a share of the business and have a say in how the brewery and taproom operate. Kevin is a lifetime member of the co-op, and he explains that this particular co-op is a form of crowdfunding that existed long before the current crowdfunding trend, but that they also utilized current-day crowdfunding campaigns to help their fundraising and marketing.
But back to the hiking segment of this tour: Los Alamos, located about 40 minutes north of Santa Fe, is a historic town, situated at more than 7200-feet in altitude, and is nestled between gorgeous scenery. The roughly six-mile hike weaves its way through mountain and canyon terrain. Craft Beer Hiking in Northern New Mexico, says Kevin, "Gives a great orientation to trails, venues, and scenic beauty in Los Alamos that otherwise might remain a mystery."
Beer and hiking enthusiasts are encouraged to attend a tour, so they can get to know the beauty of the state, and the delicious brews New Mexico is … (read full article here)

Electronic testing is most effective if planned and also implemented inside of a framework. Structural part is quite often believed to be often the connection clusters of a system diagnostic tests product.
Some people offer the following aspects:
Arranging Index Trails instructions Index trails enable find important automation ingredients during runtime.
Loading Collection Files tutorial Test software library information contain features that might be used again across various tests. Such libraries may very well be loaded while in the automation initialization process.
Editing Application Options – Initialization of software specific settings is connected with great importance for your examine automating to be accomplished successfully.
Your Configuration File contains a good range of ranges which could alter oftener still needed for the particular test operated.
For this reason, it's important to have a preplanned physical surface, which pinpoints how and even where the components will come to be kept. Centered on a upfront recognition of often the real framework, you know which is where to save things. Also, it will certainly help to have the framework collectively moved like a single model. The bodily structure may be kept by a test control tool, or perhaps by a data product. The natural framework often consists of a few sandwich ringbinders which have been bundled in Main cause Directory: Initialization Files, Setting Files, Functionality Library, Operater Files, and Test Pieces of software.
Third, build Init as well as Config Files.
An Initialization File has a group about parameters or maybe program code which will gives the particular environment to your controlled dependable point. Initialization parameters remain fairly fixed throughout typically the undertaking lifetime circuit.
There are actually five key segments in the platform design:
+ Driver Segment
+ Analyze Segment
& Function Portion
+ Parameter Segment
Typically the Driver Segment reads with the Execution Stage File as well as calls around the Parameter Portion to load the surroundings plus sinks variables essential for quality run. Future the Driver Segment calls and executes tests depending on the associated the main ageda.
In this post, frames use a various which means: a new combination about summary principles, steps, operations and ecosystem whereby robotic exams may be fashioned, created and also implemented. Often the creation associated with a well imagined out structure can often be quite a job however about superb worth to get your small business. This guide distinguishes your five stages like to develop a suitable construction regarding test automation of tasks.
First of all, perform basic platform model.
Investigation and also recognize your own application progression setting plus the computer software less than test out (AUTs) for you to identify the type of framework to be developed, and also determine the ideal framework. If you have had difficulty choosing the great form, the most secure decision is to use a functional decomposition framework. As soon as the type is definitely chosen, identify the basic pieces developing the mounting, and have absolutely your high-level snapshot showing how these kinds of elements have interaction with the other user.
Then beneath control associated with quality Phase, the actual Operate Section executes brief, pithy check claim behavior which every single other list a test event. In component, test Segment may also help Data Files to search for the data needed for test performance.
Second, generate the Website directory Structure.
Examination automation should create a software package.
A Configuration File incorporates:
+ Individual Ids together with passwords
& Pointers so that you can databases
and Public issues and constants
+ Strategies to the main applying it (domains, Web addresses, and many others. )
4th, build often the Feature Stockpile.
This situation runs as follows:
Select repetitive steps; produce functions for these tactics in a purpose library; add cell phone calls to the operates when building the exam pièce.
You can identify a lot of the capabilities previous to creating a one automated analyze script. Vital functions that is certainly included happen to be: core internet business (Utility) functions, navigation characteristics, error managing functions, reloading functions, along with miscellaneous confirmation functions.
Primary business work executes simple application service, such as the functionality that is actually in control of recording to the program.
Course-plotting feature is normally critical because developed intelligent checks may very well be cracked as soon as the course-plotting tracks tend to be customized. Fault managing function should be to cope with sudden events which may occur for the duration of testing. Packing function could be to load items. And varied verification work is so that you can always check specific app attributes.
At long last, acquire the exam pièce.
For Linear and also Files Powered frameworks, typically the exams are code-based, and as such pretty specialised.
Testing to get Functional Decomposition frames continue code-based, however the exams come to be a bit less complicated when the system results in being far more specified. Tests with Search phrase Frameworks will be less complex as they are formulated from a listar data format.
The particular five plans mentioned above will let you build a carefully constructed test automation of tasks framework inside a simple period of your time.
Test software is any popular trend in the applications tests market place. That helps spend less both your time and money. Test automating in Tiongkok has really been paid back far more and considerably more care about on recent a long time. Businesses plus designers are generally working hard to improve automation techniques. Due to the fact test automating is through the whole technique of software diagnostic tests, it's vital to optimize this situation. Software diagnostic tests in Tiongkok then could simultaneously come to be enhanced plenty.
UniTesting specializes and unbiased software screening company exactly who set away an application evaluating hospital in India.
UniTesting dedicates to provide broad range software QA testing offerings, including, practical testing, examine automation, capabilities testing, stability testing, compatibility test, cell phone application testing (Ios, Android, Windows, and so on ), and also test workforce outsourcing.

BUTTE , MONTANA, USA, November 5, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Montana US Navy Veteran Mesothelioma Advocate says, "We fear a Navy Veteran with mesothelioma in Montana will probably not get properly compensated because the Veteran or their family impulsively hired a local car accident lawyer/personal injury law firm. What most people with mesothelioma do not realize is that-mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer and there are specialty law firms that do nothing-but mesothelioma compensation claims on a fulltime basis-nationwide. As we would be happy to discuss anytime at 800-714-0303, we have endorsed the law firm of Karst von Oiste for a Navy Veteran or person with mesothelioma in Montana because we know they will work overtime to ensure their clients with mesothelioma receive the best possible compensation results.
"One of the concerns people with mesothelioma have is they want to meet their attorneys face to face. We can assure a Navy Veteran or a person with mesothelioma in Montana-if they talk to Erik Karst the founding partner of the law firm of Karst von Oiste there is a very good chance they will be meeting Erik or one of his senior colleagues in your home. As we would like to explain at 800-714-0303 meeting a super skilled mesothelioma attorney face to face in the home of the Navy Veteran or person allows the person to be more comfortable and it allows a super skilled lawyer like Erik or his colleagues to do their job. Before you hire a law firm to assist with a mesothelioma compensation claim please call us about Erik Karst." www.karstvonoiste.com/

Orchid has completed the process of standardising and editing thousands of pages of technical specification for two European Oil Companies.
Both Oil Companies (the second was referred to us by the first) were suffering from standardisation and quality issues. With a large number of engineers involved in originating project documents (package specifications, functional design documents and reports), the quality of these key project documents had fallen below an acceptable quality level. For example, some engineers had created their own document structures, used different terminology and, for some, document creation was not their particular forte.
Orchid assembled a project team of six experienced technical authors in Royston. The team initially produced a template and baseline document standard. Once this was agreed, the team formatted each document to the common Word template and technically reviewed them. This review ensured that documents all conformed to a common approach, terms were consistent and text was grammatically correct.
The edited documents were uploaded to the document system. The documents were accompanied with a report that detailed any further actions requiring the attention of the originating engineer.
Careful Project Management ensured both projects were successfully completed on time, allowing the overall project to remain on schedule.

April 1, 2014 – CATHOLIC CONTRIBUTIONS AND CRITIQUES OF HUMAN RIGHTS LAW WITHIN EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS
Facing the risk of a communication deadlock, the Church, rather to propose the renewal of theological language, which would explain the world in a complete and at the same time understandable manner, took over the terminology proposed by the world. Instead of the proposal of a new great theological narrative, she made her own secular thesis about the end of the era of any great storytelling. Thus, the second challenge: the idea of a paradigm shift, the demand for a new grand narrative, a new humanistic synthesis.

TW: sexual trauma (warning also pertains to any links within)
It hurts. A lot. Just like Momma told me.
He stops and gives me a kiss. A tiny stream trickles from the corner of my eye. I can't quite tell if I'm happy or scared.
I have come a long way, though. Six years before, it grossed me out. It was this dirty, vile thing. I couldn't even bring myself to take those pink, blue, and white pills for my acne. I didn't want others to assume I was "active." Three years before, the notion of sex disgusted me. You're supposed to wait until you're married to do it and even then only out of necessity – to keep your husband happy.
It took a good friend, a book on sexual trauma, and days of therapeutic discussion to overcome some of my own traumas. Of them, there were many.
For now, I try to ignore Mom's voice in my head. All their voices – the pastor and my teachers and that counselor that showed grotesque images of sexually transmitted diseases on a giant screen in our high school auditorium. I am past all of that. I am clear of their programming.
Nevertheless, it feels peculiar. Nothing at all like I expected. Admittedly, I didn't know what to expect.
I flinch and bite my lip as he goes all the way in.
"Are you okay?" he asks.
He is trying to be gentle. He knows, and somehow, that didn't scare him away as I thought it might. How often do you hear of a 25-year-old virgin, after all?
I swallow. "Ca-can-can we stop?" I ask.
"Of course," he replies with no hint of disappointment or dissatisfaction.
He pulls out and lays down beside me. His hand grabs mine, and he squeezes.
"I'm sorry," I utter in a meek tone.
"Stop that. You have nothing to be sorry about," he says.
I turn over and lay my arm across his chest.
"Thank you," I say, surprised and grateful.
His chest is damp from my tears, and this time I know the emotion for sure – it's happiness.
Two days later, I overcome my fears, all those years of programming, and accept sex as a natural thing between two people. (Though, maybe still a little dirty.)

By Lauren E. Prince
Lauren Prince is a student at LCISD Wertheimer Middle School
"Moving from elementary school to middle school is an easy transition," according to my twin Justine. Justine says, "It's just so crazy the new things. I mean everything is great, but it's just so different." I have to agree. They are both so different from each other because middle school gives us so much more freedom.
"In elementary school we had to wear certain colors of clothes: that's so not cool. I like the freedom to wear what I want with just a few rules on the matter," says Kaitlyn in my P.E. class. I have to agree with her too. We get so much freedom in middle school. We get to wear a lot of the things we like and we don't have to walk in straight lines everywhere we go. There are also a lot of new things: new teachers, new classrooms, new people, new everything, but the main thing is the new building.
Sydney in my theater arts class tells me, "I love the new building. It's so fun; it's like a maze … I love mazes!" Now, I don't like mazes as much as she does, but I do agree with the building being great! The teams we have all have classrooms close to each other, but it's still like a maze.
The only thing I think some people have problems with is adjusting, but after the first couple weeks we figured out what to do. Christopher in my reading and E.L.A. class says, "I had to adjust to using my agenda more and using my time in the hall wisely." He was very wise when he said that.
Mrs. Farris, my social studies teacher, says, "I think students need to get used to using their agendas more and used to time management." All I know is we definitely have to use our agendas and if we don't get used to time management we will be counted tardy.
Ericson in my math class thinks, "I learned that I need to study more." Mrs. Bryson, my science teacher, agrees with Ericson, "You guys have to get used to studying." It's true if we don't study it will hurt us a lot more than it did last year.
Adjusting to sixth grade isn't too hard after students get used to it, but if students don't learn to adjust it will be a hard year.
All in all, I think everyone agrees that middle school is great and not too hard to adjust to, even though elementary was pretty great too.

Week 27
I woke up before you two and was nursing a very bad headache. You had been poorly just before you went to bed last night vomiting so much that me and your dad kept an eye on you all night, we even had a bucket beside the bed just in case but luckily you slept straight through and when you did wake up you were in the best of moods! After your morning boob you couldn't stop talking about yesterdays day out at Longleat Safari Park & all the animals that you got to see & this continued throughout the day, you've had so much fun playing with your little animal figures and reliving all the experiences you had. You especially loved looking at the map of the park & seeing all the places we went to, we knew to save it for you, you do have a thing for maps it seems! We picked some more ripe tomatos and you did some more practicing with your letters before you felt it was time to wake daddy up. You wanted to read some stories which I was more than happy to do, oh how I love that you have gotten so into reading!! There was a time when I didn't think that would happen! You have this thing of loving to pretend your a puppy and lick people, especially your dad, and that was how you got him out of bed this morning by licking him so much that he had no choice to get up unless he wanted to start getting a soggy face. Your other new favourite thing is getting your face painted and you and your dad spent ages taking turns pretending to paint each other faces and we just adore how you take it as seriously as when it's real face paint! For once it was a cooler day and a crazy windy day too and I needed to get out of the house, I was hoping that some fresh air would help my headache. I wanted to go somewhere hilly and exposed to the wind so we decided to explore some of the areas around Burley. And what an incredible little walk we had!! It was the first time in weeks where we actually needed to dress a bit warmer and it was so welcomed, it felt refreshing. We couldn't believe our eyes but we came across lots and lots of ripe blackberries which seemed a bit early but you were over the moon happy about this and we were too, they tasted so good and by the end of our walk your fingers and face had turned purple stained with blackberry juice. We also stumbled upon a small group of horses and one of the horses came right up to us straight away to say hello and I should be used to this by now but the way you are with animals just blows my mind, you have such a special way with them, you connect with them in the most beautiful of ways and it's so inspiring for me to see. The rest of the day we took it easy and you continued to play with your animals and practice your numbers. You have also been spending a lot of time playing with your baby, you have been practising how to hold her properly getting ready for your little sister's arrival (we don't actually know for sure it is going to be a girl, we have told you it could be a boy but you are 100% sure it's a girl, so we shall see!). You love to give my belly hugs and kisses and you are already so proud to say you are a big sister, you just have no idea how much you make my heart swell every single day. We were too lazy to cook so went and got indian take away, we've lived her over a year now & it was our first time having it! You decided you didn't like it whatsoever and ate nothing. hmpf. You could have still been feeling a bit poorly. My headache never went away and when you went to bed so did I!

ONE Villamartin resident is urging all Euro Weekly News readers to check their water bill to see if they are paying a higher standing charge than is necessary.
June said: "Some years ago I discovered that there were different size water meters and supplies." She continued. "A 13mm one is the norm but we had a 20mm fitted and were paying a lot more, around €50 more on the standing order before any water usage was taken into account."
Looking into the situation she found that 69 homes on her urbanisation all had a 20mm diameter supply but they were receiving no better supply or benefit than having a 13mm supply, but had a substantially larger bill.
Now, after six years of trying, June has managed to change her meter down to a 13mm supply and has since helped nine others to do the same.
Water company Hidraqua required an official certificate from a plumber saying the property was suitable for the change to a 13mm supply, before charging her €280 for changing the meter, but she said it will not be long before she recovers these costs. To check your size, look towards the bottom of the bill on the left underneath the bill price. Next to 'Contador' there is a section that says 'mm'; below that it should state if you are on a 13 or 20mm supply.

GWYNEDD VALLEY, Pa. --- The Moravian College women's basketball team jumped out to an early 5-0 lead and went on to score a season-high 97 points in a 97-83 non-conference win at Gwynedd Mercy University Saturday.
The Greyhounds, now 4-1 on the season as Head Coach Mary Beth Spirk earned her 599th career victory, had three players in double figures and two post double-doubles in the contest. Senior forward Nadine Ewald had her fourth straight double-double and the 26th of her career as she had game-highs of 27 points and 14 rebounds to go with three assists and a pair of steals. Ewald became the ninth player in school history to reach 700 career rebounds, now with 710. Senior guard Karlie Brogan recorded her second career double-double with 21 points and 11 boards to go with four assist and two steals while senior guard Maddie Capuano tossed in 19 points to go along with eight assists and five rebounds.
Freshman forward Emily Markowski netted a career-high eight points for the Hounds to go with three rebounds while freshmen guards Jackie Kelly and Madison Amy each scored seven points with Amy adding five rebounds and three assists and Kelly grabbing three boards. Sophomore guard Kayla Yoegel contributed four points while senior guard Brooke Santy and junior forward Jordan Beneducci both had two points with Santy adding two rebounds. Freshman guard Morgan Amy contributed five assists and two rebounds in the game.
Capuano opened the game with a three-pointer and Yoegel added a jumper to make it 5-0. After the Griffins first basket of the game, Capuano drilled another three-pointer and Ewald hit a jumper to give the Blue and Grey a 10-3 edge. Gwynedd Mercy scored the next six points to get within 10-9 but the Greyhounds pulled away and led 25-16 after the first quarter as Ewald beat the clock with a short jumper.
Brogan started the second quarter with a lay-up that pushed Moravian's advantage into double figures for the first time, and the Hounds led by as many as 17 points during the period after two free throws from Beneducci at the 1:51 mark made it a 46-29 contest. The Blue and Grey carried a 48-34 lead into the locker room at the intermission.
The Griffins closed the gap to eight points, 50-42, just two minutes into the second half, but Moravian responded and had the lead at 20 points, 70-50, with 2:36 left in the third period. The Hounds headed to the final 10 minutes with a 71-53 edge. The Blue and Grey would keep the lead above 10 points for all but 28 seconds during the fourth quarter as the squad scored 97 points for the first time in just over four year after scoring 97 points in a 97-57 win at Immaculata University on November 19, 2015.
The Greyhounds are scheduled to return to action on Tuesday, November 26 in a non-conference game at DeSales University that will be televised live by TV-2 Sports. Tip-off is set for just after 6:00 p.m.

Forest Whitaker Blurs Line Between the Actor and the Role

Happy 10th Founder's Day!
JHOFI celebrates 10 years of helping women, families, and communities recover from and address problems related to substance abuse and domestic violence. Dr. Qiana Brown, the daughter of the late Ms. Jane Lee Britton, founded Jane's House of Inspiration (JHOFI) in 2006. Inspired by her mother's life – to include her mother's struggles and hard won victories of recovery from drug and domestic abuse – Dr. Brown set this organization in place to help others win the battle against substance abuse and domestic violence.
Beginning with a single phone line for women to call for substance abuse treatment referrals, Dr. Brown, with the support of her Board of Directors and stakeholders, grew JHOFI to a multi-state organization that offers substance abuse counseling, social services, medical care, and community advocacy services free of charge. The team at JHOFI is excited about the stories of recovery that this year and the next 10 years will bring!
Happy Founder's Day!

There is certainly a recipe for developing 'feel good' books: you have a new comer looking to start completely fresh and a mysterious, sometimes grumpy foreigner with a kind of dark history. Until the end of the story, you have a romance going on, frequently finished by a proposal.
What makes the difference though is how do you feel this matrix, the art of creating the story. Darcy arrives at White Cliff Bay after a high record of personal and professional failures, with a fresh new job at the local council and the promise of a new start far away from her overcritical parents. The lonely resident of the historical lighthouse, Riley, put his eyes on her and will become her boyfriend soon.
What I love about this romance story, which goes on very nicely, is the context created: the fight for preserving the historical lighthouse, whose destruction is imminent for making place for a lavish hotel. Darcy's social involvement for preserving the lighthouse creates an interesting human background story which balances the relationship history.
Overall, it is a pleasant reading, with its English charm and an optimistic vibe, a good reading companion for the summer or the holiday season in general.
