It is the highest ever rating for Britain in the BBC World Service Country Rating Poll. Last year, it was placed third.
Almost 29,000 people worldwide were asked to rate the positive and negative influence of 16 major nations.
Britain's positive rating for 2011 was 58 per cent, up from 53 per cent in 2010. Negative views of Britain decreased by two per cent, now standing at 17 per cent.
Of the 27 countries polled, 24 were positive towards Britain while two, Pakistan and Mexico, have overall negative views.
Those with the most positive views of Britain were in the United States, at 80 per cent.
They were followed by Australia at 79 per cent and Canada at nearly 70 per cent. Germany was the most positively viewed nation, with 62 per cent of those surveyed rating its influence as positive.
A spokesman for Globescan, the company which carried out the survey, said: "To some degree everyone has done better this year – a reversal of the trend last year when the economic crisis affected ratings.
"Aside from last year's slump, for the UK the aftermath of Iraq is receding. It's our role on the world stage. We were seen to play a prominent role in the aftermath of the financial crisis. We are high profile as a successful, democratic, stable, developed country with relatively little baggage."
He said Germany continued to benefit from its reputation as a wealthy nation.
"In terms of lifestyle and its high-quality products, Germany has a successful image and doesn't have the baggage that countries like the US and China have, which can be seen as culturally controversial," he said.
Canada was the third most popular of the countries polled, followed by
Japan, France and Brazil. The US came seventh ahead of China, South Africa and India.
The three most negatively viewed countries saw their average ratings drop significantly.
Iran was bottom of the poll with its negative rating at 59 per cent, up three points since last year, North Korea's negative rating was up six points at 55 per cent. Pakistan's negative rating was up five points at 56 per cent.

text: I realize the Photos to 40 project isn't actually over yet, but it's close. Very, very close. Only one image to go after this one in fact, that image being tomorrow on my actual 40th birthday. Since I'll be too busy celebrating my birthday to celebrate the completion of the project, I figured I'd have a celebration this evening. I'm sure you'll forgive me for toasting success a day early 😉

Happy New Year!
I can't believe I'm here, typing a new post, or whatever this can be called that I am typing. I flirted with the idea of getting a new totally anonymous blog, but I decided not to, afterall, I've got nothing to hide or do I? *innocent look*
So 2009 is gone, with all its revelations. I've missed writing. I'll be back with a post, I promise.
Thanx to everyone who's made me feel like my writing is worth something by coming by to tell me to update. Thank you.
Friday, 8 January 2010
Happy New Year!

People seem to love bad news. This last weekend, the 'bad' news was that Dell has stopped offering Ubuntu Linux pre-installed on laptops and netbooks. There was only one problem with the story: It's not true.
While Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, won't be making their official statement on the situation until tomorrow, July 28th, Gerry Carr Canonical's marketing manager, told me today that the stories that Dell will no longer be offering Ubuntu pre-installed on its hardware "is NOT true." In addition, a Dell representative said that "Dell has no plans to discontinue its Ubuntu offerings."
[ Ubuntu 10.04 delivers usability, strength ]
So, calm down already with the headlines like "Get This Damned Ubuntu Out Of Dell's Internets!" Or, it's Digg variant, "WTF? Dell Drops All Ubuntu-Loaded Machines From Online Store." Chill already.
First, if some of my hyperventilating Ubuntu fans had bothered to check the Dell Ubuntu Web site in the United States, they would have found, Oh My Gosh, that Dell's still offering the pair of computers it's been offering for some time. Wow. Amazing.
The first story to break this 'news' took a calmer view. In the UK publication, PC Pro, the reporter wrote, that his "search for Ubuntu on the Dell UK website returns only one laptop - the Dell Latitude 2100 from the company's business range." And, that "Dell insists that it's continuing to sell Ubuntu systems, but only over the phone."
My best guess, since the story was done over the weekend, is that for someone who shouldn't have been talking to the press was trying to explain a temporary change in Dell's Web site. After all, while Dell doesn't usually break down their operating system sales, last year, Dell's Jay Pinkert said, "A third of our Mini 9 mix is Linux." In other words, Dell makes money from its Ubuntu sales.
No, I think what we have here is yet another example of a mountain being made out of a molehill. If you want to be upset about something, get ticked off that other big-time computer vendors like HP and Lenovo make it almost impossible to buy any of their systems with Linux pre-installed on them. Dell doesn't do a great job of supporting Linux for consumers, but they do a lot better than any of the other major PC manufacturers.

In roughly 74 hours, "Bones"' 100th episode will air on the east coast.
Kids, you're almost there.
But this promo is such a tease. We know you're dying.
So Korbi TV has decided to ease your pain during these last few torturous days.
"Bones" creator Hart Hanson did promise earlier this year that we'll see Booth and Brennan deal with Sweets' assertion that they're in love. So, yeah, this might not be the only time it's brought up in the hour.
See the look on Booth's face when he first sees Brennan? That could possibly be an important thing to note.
Oh, Booth. Underestimating what Brennan can do? You really should've noted how helpful she can be. Could've saved you some serious trouble later…

Top 10 Fall Essentials
Posted in Fashion, tagged Aldo, Barney's, Berets, Bluefly, Boots, Colored Jeans, Essentials, Fall, Fashion, fur, H&M, Intermix, Leather Jacket, Piperlime, Plaid, Sweaters, Top 10, Urban Outfitters on October 20, 2008| 4 Comments »
Trends for Fall
This season, it all depends on 10 essentials. Here are my following recommendations for fall trends:
1) Flat Knee High Boots
-These shoes go with almost everything and can be used as casual, or in some cases more fancy. Some good recommendations for flat knee high boots can be found at Urban Outfitters, Aldo, and Piperlime.com. (Example: Minnetonka Triple Fringe from Urban Outfitters $98.00.)
2) Heeled Boots
-Another good buy for shoes are heeled boots. They can be knee-highs or also ankle boots.
For store suggestions, see Flat Knee High Boots. (Example: Tribeca By Kenneth Cole from Piperlime $70.00.)
3) Leather Jacket
-Leather jackets are perfectly paired with a dress or just jeans. They can be expensive, so make sure that it's a good quality one from a store like Intermix or Urban Outfitters. If you want one that's not as expensive, you can try H&M. (Example: Nathan Leather Bomber Jacket from Intermix $890.00)
4) Anything Plaid
-Whether it's a flannel shirt or dress, a cute coat, or a sweater, plaid is a big print this year. You can get a flannel shirt from L.L. Bean or Urban Outfitters. (Example: BDG Fitted Buffalo Plaid Tunic from Urban Outfitters $58.00)
5) Colored Jeans
-These pants are fun and add color to some of the dreary fall days. I have purple, blue, red, and grey pants from a company called Tripp Jeans found at HotTopic.com. Don't be fooled by the website's "punk" theme. The pants are part spandex, part denim so they are really comfortable. (Example: Trip Turquoise Suspender Pants from Hot Topic $39.00.)
6) Knit Berets
-Urban Outfitters is the place to go for slouchy wool berets. They're colorful, fun, and pretty reasonably priced. (Example: Chunky Waffle Beret $14.99.)
7) Oversized Sweaters
-Oversized sweaters are so comfortable and so often worn. My sister and I get ours not only from Target, but also the men's section at gap. They're so comfortable and so reasonably priced. (Example: The V-Neck sweaters from Gap $19.99.)
8) Doubled Breasted Coats
-I've found that my favorite coat is from a boutique in the Hamptons. Double-breasted coats add a classy look to any outfit you are wearing. Some good stores include Blufly.com, Barney's, and Urban Outfitters. (Example: Hilary Radley Tweed Wool Coat from Bluefly $118.00.)
9) Wool Sweaters
-A wool sweater is a good excuse for a fun patterned sweater. My favorite is the kind with toggles. For example, the BDG Intarsia Shawl Collar Cardigan from Urban $78.00.)
10) Fur
-The Last trend for fall is fur. Fur jackets and coats are very in this season. The best place to buy them is at vintage stores. But for example, here is one from Intermix: Faux Leopard Fur Jacket $298.00.

When you're going away for a long time, whether it's for a holiday or business, you can use house sitter to watch your pets, look after your property and take care of anything around the house that needs constant maintenance.
House sitting services vary, with some offering an overnight service and some a daily visit to your house. Overnight house sitters can do most of the things that you do typically around the house, while the daily-visit house sitter has certain limitations on what they can do.
Whichever you pick, it's important to find a house sitter who is trustworthy and professional. Here's your step-by-step guide to help you find a good house sitter:
Step 1: Ask for referrals
You can ask your family, friends, and neighbours if they can refer a house sitter to you. There are also websites that offer house sitting in Australia such as AussieHouseSitters.com.au, HappyHouseSitters.com.au, TustedHouseSitters.com and many more.
Step 2: Interview prospective house sitters
Regardless of where you look for your house sitter, the first step is to contact prospective applicants and ask them basic questions about their availability and location.
Step 3: Do a background check
One of the key reasons for getting a house sitter is to prevent burglaries, so it's important to do a background check to ensure your house sitter is trustworthy. Ask for character references from each potential candidate to verify their information. This is a job interview where you are the employer.
Step 4: Ask what they charge
Some house sitters don't require any pay and work in exchange for free rent, utilities and sometimes food. Some house sitters will have charges, especially if they will provide housekeeping and pet care services. The overall costs will depend on the length of their stay in your house and the services they will perform.
Step 5: Conduct a final interview
It's time to meet your chosen house sitter for a final interview. This is the most important step to find out if you found a good house sitter. Ask questions where you can get a sense of their skills. You can also find out if they get along with your pets instantly. Choose the house sitter you think will suit the job best and with whom you feel comfortable.
Step 6: Brief them about the house
Before you leave, be sure to brief your house sitter about the house. Give them a guided tour so they know where everything is, give them contact details on where and how to reach you, and if someone is dropping by such as a family member or worker let them know what to expect. You should also be able to give them instructions on your pets and housekeeping if necessary.
Final word
Be sure to do a check up on your house sitter while you're away. You can text, call, or check your security cameras if you have them. Once you get back home, check that all your valuables are in place and if the house is well-kept and your pets are well-taken care of.

Mother's Day Ideas for Moms in Lawton
Mother's day is this upcoming Sunday. Flowers are a great way to show your appreciation to the special mom in your life. I am going a step further. I am going to list some other ways to treat mom to a special day right here in Lawton.
Get mom out of the kitchen. Let her have a day when everyone else will do the work. How about taking mom to Elmer Thomas Park for brunch? Get there early enough to enjoy the coolness of the day setting up your picnic area under a large tree. Who knows, you might even have a couple of extra guests join you.
There is nothing quite like a homemade card or gift from a child. I remember going through some of my mothers personal items after she passed away. We came across some cards we had made for her many years ago. It now seems pretty clear that homemade beat the store bought card hands down. Take some time with the small hands in your house to assist them with making a card or picture for mom or grandma.
There are many different types of food offerings in the area, many with in 20 minutes driving time. Italian, Chinese, Greek, American. Some will offer a buffet to mom's on their special day. Check ahead with your favorite place for times and to see if reservations are required or recommended.
What mom would not like to be pampered with a day at a spa? There are a few in the area that have different types of packages available. Give mom a real treat with relaxation while you take the kids if you have any or maybe taking care of the animals off her hands for a few hours.
Shopping on the gift list? Let mom know how much she loved by letting her go on a shopping spree. We can help you with this. Our friends at Central Mall have a $300 Shopping Spree available. Text MOMSPREE to 444222 before midnight May 9th. Winner will be drawn Friday morning. Just in time to allow her to get something new for her special day.
There are so many ways to say thanks. Let her curl up with a good book, giver a coupon book for "chores" she normally does around the house to be done by someone else. Let her go off with a girlfriend to a matinee movie. Show her gratitude for her never ending job. But the most important thing you can do for your loved one in a "mom" capacity this weekend is to call her. If you are not close by to something with her, call her. Enjoy the special moments of reliving mother's day memories. Make new memories. Ones that she will cherish for ever.
Happy Mother's Day.

In Skopje Macedonia, situated along the Vardar river, the longest and major river in Macedonia, is Stara Carshija or Turska Carshija-"The old Bazaar"(from the turkish carsi, meaning market place). On Wikipedia its listed as 'Stara Carsija'. "Its the largest bazaar in the Balkans outside of Istanbul. The bazaar has been the city's center for trade and commerce since the 12th century. It reached its peak during the Ottoman rule in the Balkans, as evidenced by over 30 mosques, several caravanserais' and other Turkish buildings"(1). In one of the main streets in the area is La Kana, one of the best places, for drinks, tapas, music, and art.
|Image courtesy of La Kana
Most recently La kana had a screening for "Screaming masterpiece"(Gargandi snilld in Icelandic), a documentary film written by Ari Alexander Ergis Magnusson. The film attempts to explore the reasons why Iceland has such a rich variety of musical talent(Bjork, Sigur Ros, Slowblow, Mum, Quarashi, etc).

PASTE KODE IKLANMU DISINIFlying with kids can be a real adventure, and that adventure can be a lot of fun and very exciting, but also somewhat (or even extremely) stressful. Over the years, I've discovered some things that are likely to cause a lot of parental stress (and stress for your kids as well) when you're traveling by plane, and here are my tips and strategies to avoid, or at least minimize, the potential problems.
This can be pretty terrible. My own kids don't take kindly to being rushed at the best of times, and if you really, really have to get to that other gate in less than 20 minutes, and if that involves traversing a huge airport with kids who don't want to go anywhere, who are hungry, and need to go to the bathroom... well, that's just not a lot of fun.
Solution: Sometimes, you will be rushing from gate to gate, because of flight delays out of your control. However, if you choose connecting flights with a decent amount of time between them (two hours is my preferred minimum), then you reduce the risk of this happening to your family.
2. Hungry kids who can find nothing to eat
Hungry kids are usually grumpy, whiny kids - not fun any time, anywhere, but even less so if you're on a flight. Both of my children have had a picky eater phase (the youngest is still in hers...), and that can make things rather challenging when you're traveling.
Solution: Check ahead of time if your airline offers kids' meals with more "kid friendly" foods, and order those meals. This is not a fail-safe solution for picky eaters however. Also bring some snacks and foods with you in your hand luggage, that you know for sure your child will eat. Nothing too sticky or messy, and remember that liquid snacks (like yogourt) will be treated as other liquids at security.
3. The airline's headphones don't fit, meaning your child can't enjoy the on-board entertainment
I've experienced this problem with my kids, though it does get easier as they grow up and their heads get bigger. For young children, it can be a real problem however, with the headphones slipping off a lot.
Solution: Bring some child-sized headphones of your own on your trip.
4. Spills and soiled clothes make you and your kids seriously uncomfortable
All it takes is that one child dumps one glass of juice when that first drink is offered on board, and then it's all downhill from there: been there, done that. If you're traveling with a baby, your baby might have a diaper malfunction, or might spitup on you... making you both less than comfy on board.
Solution: Bring a change of clothes for your kids, and also (especially if you're traveling with an infant) a change of clothes (at least a shirt) for yourself. Also bring spill-free cups or bottles to transfer your kids' drinks into. This will make it a lot easier for them to enjoy those drinks on board.
5. You are so stressed out at check-in that you feel like you've forgotten everything
Check-in is the first step to get out of the way at the airport, and it can be stressful to maybe stand in line, make sure you have all your travel documents, and that all your luggage is in order (closed, locked, not over-weight).
Solution: Arrive in good time at the airport so that you do not have to start out your travels by stressing yourself and your kids. Put luggage tags with your contact information on the luggage before you leave for the airport, and if you can, bring an adult along to help you entertain the kids and wrangle the luggage. If you're traveling with a second adult, that's great, but even if you're traveling solo with your kids it is a great idea to have a friend or family member stay with you until check-in is complete and you are at least rid of your luggage and have gotten your boarding passes sorted out.
6. You run out of hands while trying to transport your kids, your own carry-on, and your kids carry-ons
If you're traveling as a solo parent with one or more kids, this is a common occurrence. It's great for children to have their own hand luggage, but there are times when younger ones will just refuse to handle their own bag and you don't have the time to really deal with it and make them do it themselves.
Solution: My own solution to this is to use a backpack as my own carry-on, and supply my children with wheeled backpacks or bags as their hand-luggage. They just seem more likely to actually handle their own stuff if it has wheels. If you can get a set of luggage that makes it possible to stack bags on top of a wheeled bag so they can all be handled together, that might also really make things easier. When I traveled with my kids when they were infants, I usually used a baby carrier (a Baby Bjorn, and later a Deuter back-carrier). A stroller works too, but you will usually have to check it, either at the check-in counter or at the gate.
7. Your children need the bathroom right now, exactly when you can't get to the bathroom
My kids often need to go to the bathroom when we're waiting at the airport in a really, really long lineup at security or immigration, or just when everyone has stood up in the aisle of the airplane and are waiting for the doors to open. Not ideal for getting to a bathroom.
Solution: Parental harassment. Yes, when we are traveling, I do harass my kids to get them to use the bathroom when it is convenient. If you see a bathroom, especially a roomy one where you can easily follow your kids inside, and bring more than one kid, then take the opportunity. On the plane, I try to seriously encourage the kids to use the bathroom about one hour before landing, and any time I notice there's not a long lineup for the washrooms.
8. Electronic gadgets are not charged and can't be used leading to problems, meltdowns and boredom
There are so many gadgets you can bring along on a flight these days, and my main solution to this problem has usually been to bring as few power-hungry gadgets as possible. However, a phone and my e-reader always come along, and on our next trip, I believe the kids will be bringing their tablets as well.
Solution: Charge everything up before you leave home. Also, bring the cables and devices needed to recharge them while you're traveling. Many airports and airplanes do have outlets for this purpose these days. If you're traveling abroad, remember that you may need a converter in order to charge your gadgets. There are some travel-chargers that can come in very handy too.
9. On a long flight, kids are suddenly so bored that they can barely stay in their own skin
This will happen on long flights, unless you are lucky enough that your kids fall asleep and sleep through the boredom phase. In their boredom (usually exacerbated by the children also being tired and/or anxious and hungry as well), even the best of kids can get a little crazy.
Solution: Several possibilities here. Try to find a movie they haven't watched yet on the on-board entertainment system, or an app or game they haven't yet played with on board. Go for a little walk around the cabin (not a lot of space, but it might still help). Also keep one or two activities like activity books, a new book to read, or some kind of travel-sized game in your carry-on to pop out as a surprise as a last resort. Finally, bring some treats to soothe them with and hope the boredom passes: my daughter reacts well to lollipops for example.
10. Your child is so anxious and frightened that they're melting down on the plane or at the airport
I personally believe that anxiety (and being tired on long flights) causes a lot of the problematic behaviour people often complain about from kids on flights. And I believe this based on my own experiences with my children, especially my son who was very scared of flying until he was about 5 or 6 years old. Anxious adults sometimes numb themselves with medication or alcohol, while kids can show their fear by becoming unruly, loud, obnoxious, throwing tantrums, and so on.
Solution: Talk to your kids about the trip in some detail ahead of time. Talk about what will happen on the airport and on the plane. Read about planes, learn about planes and airports, and talk about it with your child a lot. It has been invaluable for my son to get a handle on his own fears and be able to cope with them. Try to get them to tell you what is bothering them (strange sounds? seat-belt too tight? tired? thirsty? hungry?) to defuse tension and fear a little sooner. Be comforting and reassuring. It is sometimes quite amazing what a child will imagine is going on when a wing changes shape, or when they hear the thud of the wheels going down before landing. Try to understand what's causing their fear and anxiety and you will be better equipped to help.

With New Zealand tourism on the upswing, the industry is in a good position to take stock of its future direction, says Lincoln University Professor David Simmons.
According to the just-released State of the Tourism Industry 2015 report, the industry is enjoying very strong growth, although seasonality, changes in visitor markets and skill shortages remain some of the biggest challenges.
The report summarises the current state and performance of the industry and includes results from a survey of New Zealand tourism businesses.
The 2015 publication is the fifth in an annual series produced by Lincoln University and the Tourism Industry Association New Zealand (TIA).
"Total tourism expenditure this year has amounted to NZD$29.8 billion, which is a 10.3 percent increase," says Professor Simmons. "However, tourism arrivals always ebb and flow and we need to make sure we're continuing to trend upwards as we look to the future.
"We should keep our focus on adding value to the New Zealand economy and all of our regions."
The issue of seasonality has long concerned the industry but rather than improving is becoming more pronounced, according to the report.
"Stronger December and February arrival peaks are occurring across most international markets," says Professor Simmons, "with a growing February peak particularly associated with Chinese New Year."
Of the tourism businesses surveyed, half described seasonality as a business challenge and 48 percent of those respondents deemed it the most significant challenge they faced.
Professor Simmons says the strongest international growth is coming from Asia and the Americas, at 18.5 percent and 7.5 percent respectively.
International tourism expenditure rose by 17 percent to $11.8 billion in the year to March 2015, contributing 17.4 percent to the total of export goods and services. Domestic tourism expenditure increased by 6.3 percent to $18.1 billion.
"International visitors spent the most on transport, while domestic visitors spent the most on retail," says Professor Simmons.
Recognising the importance of domestic travel to the tourism industry, TIA is leading an industry working group to ensure opportunities to boost its value are identified and grasped. Growing domestic tourism may also help the industry smooth out seasonal peaks and troughs, TIA Chief Executive Chris Roberts says.
"Tourism business respondents indicated that maximising domestic tourism potential was one of the industry's most significant opportunities," he says.
More than two-thirds of the tourism businesses surveyed said that changing markets were a big challenge for the entire industry, although only a third felt it affected their own business.
"Changes in visitor markets can have significant flow-on effects in the regions," says Professor Simmons.
"For example, the West Coast of the South Island, which is one of only two regions where international expenditure is greater than domestic, generates a contribution to regional GDP that puts it in the top quarter for regional economic impact."
The report notes that people visiting friends and family in New Zealand represented almost a third of this year's international arrivals.
"More than two-thirds of the tourism business respondents also reported catering to these visitors, which suggests they are important across all areas of the industry," says Professor Simmons.
Direct tourism employment increased by 5.3 percent, while there was a 5.6 percent rise in indirect tourism employment. But more than half of the tourism businesses surveyed said they had found it difficult to recruit skilled staff members.
"Staff and skill shortages were the second most significant challenge highlighted by tourism businesses after seasonality," says Roberts.
"This is an issue that TIA is putting significant effort into. Last month we released the People & Skills 2025 framework to guide how the industry makes decisions on workforce development over the next decade.
"Ensuring we have the right people in the right place at the right time is a top priority for our industry and critical to achieving our Tourism 2025 goal of $41 billion annual revenue by 2025."
TIA is now working with industry and government partners to prioritise and implement the framework actions.

Roads – R2
The development of the Wharf in Ruperts means that all goods brought to St Helena by ship in future will be entering via Ruperts. As a result a substantial volume of cargo will need to be moved from Ruperts to Jamestown (or beyond) by road.
The missing link in both of the above is the substandard width and alignment of Field Road. The poor junction at Field Road/Side Path and occasional substandard widths on Side Path. This project is intended to improve the road link between Ruperts and Jamestown to provide a safe, high quality route to serve both future freight requirements, and those of existing residents and businesses.

calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "osxserver.krypted.com"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "com.apple.calendarserver"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "79PreYsZSFfZZC6v"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993
calendar:SSLPrivateKey = ""
calendar:LogLevels = _empty_dictionary
calendar:DataRoot = "/Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data"
calendar:ServerRoot = "/Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts"
calendar:SSLCertificate = ""
calendar:EnableCalDAV = no
calendar:Notifications:Services:APNS:Enabled = yes
calendar:SSLPort = 443
calendar:RedirectHTTPToHTTPS = yes
calendar:SSLAuthorityChain = ""
calendar:ServerHostName = "odr.krypted.com"
One of the more common settings to configure is the port number that CalDAV runs on. To configure HTTP:
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin settings calendar:HTTPPort = 8008
For HTTPS:
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin settings calendar:SSLPort = 8443
You can then start the service using the start option:
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin start calendar
Or to stop it:
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin stop calendar
Or to get the status:
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin fullstatus calendar
Full status indicates that the three services are running:
calendar:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
calendar:setStateVersion = 1
calendar:state = "RUNNING"
calendar:contactsState = "RUNNING"
calendar:calendarState = "RUNNING"
Once the Calendar server is configured, use the Calendar application to communicate with the server. Open the Calendar application and click on the Calendar menu and select Add Account. From the Add Account screen, click on Add CalDAV Account radio button and click Continue.
CalDAV from the Account Type menu and then enter the User Name and password configured on the server, and add the address of the server if you don't have any service records pointing to the server. The User Name is usually the name provided in Server app, followed by @ and then the address of the server.
Once the server is configured it appears in the list of accounts in the sidebar of the Calendar app. Create calendars in the account and then to share a calendar, right-click on the calendar and click on Share Calendar…
At the Share Calendar screen, provide the name the calendar should appear as to others and anyone with whom you'd like to share your calendar with. Back at the Calendar Settings screen, use the settings to configure Availability and refresh rate of calendars, as seen above. Click on Server Settings to assign custom port numbers.
Click on the Delegation tab to view any accounts you've been given access to.
Use the Edit button to configure who has delegated access to calendars, as opposed to configuring subscriptions.
Overall, the Calendar service in Server 5.2 is one of the easiest to configure on Sierra. Most of the work goes into settings configured on client systems. This, as with Exchange, dedistributes administration, often making administration more complicated than with many other tools. But that's a good thing; no one wants to access other peoples accounts, for calendars or mail for that matter, without those users knowing that it was done, as will happen when resetting passwords…

Guys like advice in easily digestible chunks. And who better to serve it up than other men who've been there?
During Pregnancy
What to say when you find out she's pregnant: "That's amazing! Yeah, baby!" What not to say: "How did that happen?" —Chris Pegula, founder and creator of Diaper Dude and father of three, Los Angeles
RUB! Rub her feet, rub her back, rub her shoulders. —Bert Martinez, motivational speaker and father of five, Houston
Go to any appointment where there's an ultrasound—you'll never regret the experience, and your wife will feel more cared for by your involvement. —Dillon Burroughs, writer-editor and father of three, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Yeah, you're expecting a child together, but she's the one who's carrying it. She gets the good parts of feeling it kick, getting the natural bond, etc. But she also gets the expanding belly, backaches and foot aches, hormones going crazy and, of course, the birth. So give her lots of attention, make her know she's loved and appreciated. Talk to the baby in her belly, go to doctor appointments, ask questions and learn. Your relationship with both your partner and your child will grow. —Brent Larson, computer programmer and father of two, Shawnee, Kan.
Be proactive in thinking of ways to support her. Doing the dishes after she asks you is nice, but thinking of it on your own is even better. Also, cookies never hurt. —Noah Lang, attorney and father of one, Seattle
If she says that something in the house smells bad, believe her, even if you don't smell anything at all. At some point in her pregnancy, even mild odors—soft soap, turkey burgers, ice cubes—may smell awful to her. Whatever you do, don't let the garbage or leftovers in the fridge linger. —Michael Yessis, travel editor and father of one, Rockville, Md.
Flexibility is a biggie. She might refuse a back rub one minute, then change her mind a few minutes later. She might want to go out to dinner, then doze off as you're phoning for a reservation. You have to roll with it. —N.L.
Take a couple of hours at a time off from work to attend doctor visits or deal with other pregnancy-related stuff. Get your boss and co-workers used to the idea that you'll be a dad, and when the baby comes, you'll already have shown that you can handle a little scheduling flexibility and still get your work done. —Bill Nathan, project manager and father of two, San Francisco
Well before the baby is due, take a full wallet and an empty car to Costco and lay in a supply of toothpaste, toilet paper, extra towels, cat litter, extra memory cards for your digital camera, healthy frozen foods—anything that will save you a trip to the store after the baby comes. —Ted Brown, teacher and father of three, Dallas
Never throw out the directions to any piece of baby gear. First, you might have another baby some day, and by then your brain will have moved on and automatically purged all understanding of how that collapsible baby seat ever worked. —Esteban Rodriguez, executive chef and father of one, New York
At the Hospital
Take a couple of tennis balls and stick them in a (clean) gym sock. Then slowly roll them up and down her back during labor. Don't stop. —T.B.
Videotaping a birth calls for some discretion. You're not Ridley Scott, and she's not ready for her close-up, if you know what I mean. If you can, ask someone else to handle the filming duties from a polite distance. —E.R.
Forget about building an elaborate website with 200 pictures and artfully edited videos of the birth within 24 hours of the arrival. Just tell people by phone, and e-mail a couple of photos to friends with a request to forward them around. If you're the ultraconnected type, Twitter. —B.N.
Go on a hospital-room date with the new mom. Bring flowers, takeout (it's almost always allowed, but ask the nurses anyway) and a Netflix movie to play on your laptop. Get in bed with her, turn down the lights and just be together. Also go home for a few hours and take a nap—you can't be useful if you're exhausted and hungry. —B.N.
Smile nicely and thank everyone who works at the hospital, from the doctors and nurses to the guy who's mopping the floor. You'll make their day. They're already making yours. —T.B.
Getting (and Giving) Help
If family members (yours or hers) offer help after the baby comes home, take it—but be specific about what you need help with. One of the best things someone can do is bring dinner over or babysit while the new mom takes a nap during the day. —B.M.
I didn't think my wife should be the only sleepdeprived adult in the house, so I got up with her during nighttime feedings. I'd nuke a big chocolate muffin for us to split, and as she nursed, I'd read. Our kids are 9, 6 and 3, but we still talk about those times. —Marc A. Pitman, hospital development director and father of three, Waterville, Maine
From 8 friday night through Saturday morning at 8, the baby is yours. Mom gets 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep or time to herself. —Lee Pierce, consultant and father of three, Bellevue, Neb.
Pooing & crying & sleeping, oh, my! the top of the washing machine makes a great diaperchanging station. —L.P.
When you're changing diapers, always peek before you poke. —Bill Horne, computer security consultant and father of one, Sharon, Mass.
The secret to a successful diaper change is to be prepared. Don't take off the soiled diaper until you have a clean one unfolded and ready to go. And always have the wipes strategically located—if you're dealing with a messy diaper, have three to five wipes out of the package. Finally, if you're facing a blow-out situation, you may just want to take the baby to the tub. —Jason Russell, marketing-public relations and father of four, Lehi, Utah
Sometimes you just have to let a crying baby cry—believing you have some control will only frustrate you. The baby will pick up on that negative emotion and cry even more. And feeling exhausted makes it worse. If you're rested, you can handle the situation much better. —B.M.
I've had a lot of luck getting my kids to fall asleep by sitting on a physio ball, then leaning backward and gently bouncing as I hold them horizontally on my chest. It's a lot cheaper than a rocker-glider, and you can kick the ball from the nursery to the TV room and back while you have your hands full of crying baby. —Mike Carlson, editor and father of two, Los Angeles
Being a Dad
The first time you hold your tiny baby, you'll experience a flood of strange and powerful sensations. These are called emotions. Don't be alarmed. Focus on that moment, and promise yourself that you won't ever, ever let the weight of the world rob you of that feeling. —J.L.
Learn the football carry. Tuck the baby's legs under your armpit, support his back with your arm and cradle his head in your hand. This frees your other hand for carrying stuff, getting things done around the house or fending off would-be tacklers. —J.L.
Don't be afraid to develop your own parenting style—not your father's, not your wife's, but yours. Hint to new moms: Letting us do things our way makes us feel closer to the baby. We know you want that. —J.L
Guys are also susceptible to postpartum depression. Get help—if you don't, you may sacrifice your marriage. I know because I was close to that point.—Name withheld by request
Put down the video camera. You want to record all those memorable firsts, but let someone else use the camera occasionally so you can be an active participant in making those memories. And get some recordings of you together with your baby, too. —Jeremy Milani, online communication consultant and father of one, Nashua, N.H.
Babies love to learn tricks, and it's up to you to teach them. Try this one: When your baby starts to develop leg strength, grab both of her feet firmly with one hand and support her with the other in an upright position. Before long, she'll be standing in your hand without help, to the amazement of friends, relatives and that nice lady from Child Protective Services. Do it over a bed or couch just in case, and be ready to catch her if she tilts. —J.L.
Pick up your child every day. —J.M.
Schedule a daddy-and-baby routine. The one-on-one time spent walking around the neighborhood or just staring at the ceiling fan with your baby will be incredibly nourishing to you—and your wife will appreciate that free hour on her own. —M.Y.
When you get frustrated with your baby for any reason, but especially when he is crying, do two things: First, don't feel bad; and second, watch your baby while he is sleeping—your anxiety and frustration will immediately dissipate. It even works with teenagers. —Jamie Miller, political consultant, Sarasota, Fla.

Professionals behind stone-pelting in Kashmir
Jehangir Rashid, Srinagar
Pelting of stones in the Kashmir Valley is not just widespread but increasingly becoming an organised activity with professional pelters apparently up for hire to lead the way and then leave innocent young agitators to face pellets and bullets when the security forces are compelled to respond to bring a situation under control.
Stone-pelting used to be a way for the young and hot-blooded to vent their anger against the security forces. After Friday prayers at the Jama Masjid at Nowhatta-Srinagar stones would routinely be thrown at the men of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on duty.
This stopped when curfew was imposed in Old Srinagar on Fridays. But with the death of Burhan Wani, there has been an escalation of hostilities. It is generally felt that stone-pelting has gone out of control with even some Hajis being stoned in north Kashmir.
"Stone-pelting is a way for us to convey our unhappiness with the government. If we pick up guns then we will be labelled terrorists. But it is a shame for the people at the top that the police and security forces are firing pellets and resorting to direct firing although we just pelt stones and not fire bullets," members of a group of stone-pelters told this correspondent.
During the summer agitation of 2010 separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani had castigated the youth for resorting to stone-pelting. Geelani, after being released from jail, said that stone-pelting gives licence to the security forces to fire on innocent people.
But a stone-pelting group named the Kashmir Sangbaaz Force came down heavily on Geelani and said that the Kashmir issue had got new attention thanks to stone-pelting. Geelani was forced to modify his statement. He then said that stone-pelting is the only weapon available to Kashmiris in the present situation....

I'm starting up two changes for myself, on top of working out and trying to eat better.
Skincare and hair removal on the body.
I have something akin to psoriasis. Nothing painful or unbearably itchy. Just patches of very, very blotchy and dry skin (yes, discolored), around the armpits and under my breasts. I've had them for years. I've been self conscious about them too, however now I'm fighting to correct it the best I can. So I've started applying coconut oil as a way to counteract it. And from what I've read, this stuff is just a damn cure for anything! (Organic, cold pressed, etc. It works. I can vouch for oil pulling of the teeth; it does help strengthen the teeth and overall improve the feel of the mouth. I just stupidly stopped doing it…)
I'm also an unlucky lady by having quite a bit of longer body hair. So, I'm starting sugaring- akin to waxing, but natural and much less likely to damage then skin. Plus, it's said to kill the follicle without repercussions and stop hairgrowth! Pricey? A bit. However I'm desperate. This is the year I change me for my own comfort. I have arm hair, belly hair, facial hair. It's all nasty in my eyes. (I'm flattered if anyone thinks otherwise, but this is my flesh I'm stuck in, so allow me to try and do what feels right…)
I'll update on any and all changes. (: Good and/or bad.
I also did an hour's worth of yoga. Not super extensive. But enough to feel it in my hips and to loosen my back.
I'll go for a walk around my campus tomorrow, I think. Yoga class Monday. Cardio I start on Tuesday.
I'm on my way. Just need to press on and let these changes happen naturally. And they will.
(And everyone is being fickle today, I swear…)

Allergy Labs, situated in Oklahoma City, USA, manufactures over 500 different biological extracts for the diagnostic testing and therapeutic treatment of allergies, which require highly accurate and clean processes. Allergy Labs relies on an FLC 3080 filling and closing line operating with peristaltic pump technology from Bosch. The result: safer, cleaner and more flexible filling operations. "Filling accuracy is one of the technology's main benefits," explains Lee Beaver, director of manufacturing at Allergy Laboratories, Inc.
Fulfilling maximum expectations
Six years ago, Bosch started to develop its own peristaltic pump technology to satisfy the growing demands of its pharmaceutical customers and to offer a genuine alternative to conventional filling systems. The Bosch peristaltic pump combines the advantages of the traditional peristaltic concept with optimized dosing accuracy. "We checked the market, and Bosch has a good reputation for this kind of technology," Lee Beaver confirms. "Filling operations are drip-free, and the single-use components significantly contribute to clean handling." Moreover, the peristaltic pump is very user-friendly. The operator can conduct product and batch changeovers faster and safer, as the system reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
"The line has been in operation for over two years now, but it didn't take us that long to recognize the key benefits for us: safe and reliable vial handling, filling accuracy of the peristaltic pump technology and the cleanliness of the entire process," Lee Beaver concludes.
If you would like to learn more about the technology and read the full story, look out for the current packazine issue, Bosch Packaging Technology's customer magazine, which will be published in May 2014.

Reclamation Announces Update to 2014 CVP Water Supply for Settlement Contractors and Refuges
Media Contact:
Margaret Gidding, 916-978-5100, firstname.lastname@example.com
For Release: April 18, 2014
Sacramento, Calif. – The Bureau of Reclamation today announced an update to the February 2014 Central Valley Project water supply for Sacramento River Settlement Contractors and wildlife refuges north-of-delta. This update reflects improved precipitation and runoff in Northern California to date.
Based on the California Department of Water Resources' April 1, Runoff Forecast, current hydrological conditions and actions taken to date to manage scarce supplies, the available contractual supply for North-of-Delta Settlement Contractor's and wildlife refuges increased from 40 percent to 75 percent. Allocations for all other water contractors serviced by the CVP remain the same.
"In light of this year's lower than average CVP water supply, Reclamation and its federal, state and local partners have been committed to ensuring our water resources are available, not just for today but for the future," Reclamation's Mid-Pacific Regional Director David Murillo said today. "The low initial allocation announced on Feb. 21, has been difficult for all CVP contractors, however, with the recent precipitation, it is with some optimism that we are able to increase the available supply for these two entities. We also continue to work toward stretching available water supplies as far as possible for all of our water contractors as we manage through the drought."
"This type of water year reinforces the critical need for long-term solutions to drought management and improving California's water supply reliability," Murillo continued. "While managing the existing water resources stored in reservoirs across the region, we remain committed to working with our partners to develop a firm water supply for the future."
Reclamation will continue to monitor water supply data provided by the state and will make adjustments to the allocation as soon as they are indicated. Changes to hydrology and opportunities to exercise operational flexibility of the CVP are factors and conditions that will influence the water supply and allocations as the water year progresses. Water supply updates will be posted at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/PA/water.
For additional information, please visit http://www.usbr.gov/mp/pa/water or contact the Mid-Pacific Region's Public Affairs Office at 916-978-5100 (TTY 800-877-8339) or e-mail email@example.com.

Tales of the Trail (part 9)
Tilia was sitting in the kitchen enjoying a mid-afternoon snack when she heard two of the servant girls whispering. She only able to catch a little bit of what they were saying,
"… I heard he is 35 years old!"
And then the girls fell into hysterical giggles. Tilia wasn't exactly sure who they were speaking about, but she got a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
At around 5pm, King Philip started looking for Tilia. Dinner would start within the hour and the Duke would be here in a few minutes. Philip knocked on Tilia's bedroom door, only to find her laying in bed. Tilia was startled by her father's sudden entrance, "Father, I'm not feeling well enough to come down to dinner."
The king retorted, "You will get up this second and get ready. I will call Lily to come help you get dressed. If you are not downstairs in 20 minutes there will be severe consequences."
"Father! He's 35!"
Philip whipped around and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Tilia sputtered, "In the kitchen."
Philip began ranting about the rumor mill that is the kitchen. He stomped out of the room, but before he left he turned to his daughter and ordered he rout of bed. Tilia saw there was no negotiating with him, so she slowly got out of bed and began getting ready to meet the Duke of Blood Mountain.
… until next time/shelter …

Once selected, the iBill is thoroughly reviewed to ensure that all charges are correct and relevant. Attention is given to policy guidelines, where HealthMind uncovers errors such as those for unbillable "routine medical supplies". Once the audit is performed, the results and an explanation of charges are supplied to the payer. The bill is then paid at the discounted rate.
how it works:
- Pre-pay audit
- Inpatient, Contracted & non-contracted claims — Medicare language — Medicare guidelines
- No medical records needed
- Provides a compelling and easy to understand ROI

There are certain topics or trends that seem to follow just about anything, and that is no different from healthcare, or figuring out the best options to take care of our bodies and our families. The same goes as with anything, certain questions pop up much more frequently than others and I am going to answer the top four I often hear.
First of all, I am a physician that truly believes that there is no bad question. Knowledge is power and the more you know the more you are able to make informed choices for you child. Questions mean you are thinking and trying to process information. It is imperative that you understand what is going on with your child and the side effects of some of the therapy choices. I am shocked at how many people tell me that therapy or medications or procedures are not fully explained to them before utilization. On that note, lets see what we can learn.
1. What if my child does not have a diagnosis yet, but exhibits signs or symptoms of ADHD, sensory issues or something on the spectrum?
Yahoo! Glad to hear this, because this means they will not have received any medication yet. You can not medicate with out a diagnosis. Yes, many of the ADHD medications are used off label for other things, but you can't be medicated for ADHD with out a diagnosis. Just so that you know, I DO NOT treat a diagnosis, I treat the child. Therefore, whether or not they have a diagnosis or not means nothing to me. I look at an extensive amount of paper work (that you fill out for your child), preform an extensive functional neurological exam and also preform an EEG brain map. From this I determine the best mode of treatment for each child individually. If your child has positive findings, that is what I treat, not a diagnosis.
2. What if my child if diagnosed with ADHD and already on medication?
I treat children on medication the same as I treat unmedicated children. Just because your child is on medication does not mean that a natural approach will not be effective. Many of my patients caregivers are particularly concerned about the side effects from the medication their children are taking. While some children exhibit positive results from taking medication for example increased concentration at school, many of them have adverse side effects as well. The most common side effects I see are appetite loss, weight loss, depression, personality changes and having to increase the medications to stronger dosages or to more dosages a day. Also from some children with sensory issues, these may become more pronounced. In my practice, I do not prescribe medications, nor do I discuss dosing. This is a conversation between you and your pediatrician. Just like as stated before, I do not treat the diagnosis even if you have one. Everyone has different signs and symptoms of ADHD. Blanket treating these symptoms is not a beneficial approach but finding the root cause is.
3. We have tried so many therapies with little or no change. What makes your program different?
I have heard of many treatments and therapies and I never discredit any of them. As parents we are always trying to look for the best option for our children and all parents that are actively looking for better answers for their child should be applauded. I have so much respect for the parents that have tried different things as they are looking for their child to function optimally! Kudos to you! My approach is different as it is a three pronged approach.
The triangle of Neurometabolic Integration consists of looking at your child:
1. Metabolically
2. Neurologically
3. Brain Connectivity through an EEG Brain Map
The reason I use this trifecta is first, research shows a multi model approach is the most effective for the treatment of ADHD and it just makes sense. For example, how can you be changing function of your body and brain if you are eating foods that are making you inflamed. Just like you can't put the steeple on the church without the church building itself. If you tried, the steeple would just crash. I like to build from the foundation up using the NeuroMetabolic Integration approach. Additionally, I have found that many patients have not received complete instructions on the process of why and how to fully execute the treatment plan their doctor is recommending. Once again knowledge is power and no question is wrong. If you are not aware of the full process of why you are doing something it may not seem important to follow the plan. This is why I take a lot of time explaining the process for which each modality is utilized. So for example, if you don't understand why your child should not be eating gluten if they are sensitive to it, I may explain it to you as drinking a bottle of parasites. You wouldn't do that, but they can both cause inflammation and inflammatory cascades that attack various parts of your child's body including their brain. Another misconception I hear is that home exercises are not as necessary as in office treatment. WRONG! These are just as or even more important than in office therapies. In office and home therapies are intertwined to work together and should be performed together.
4. Last question I often get is a difficult one, I know from personal experience. When a parent is really at their whits end and feels like they have exhausted all of their options, it sounds something like this: "Dr. Kelly, I am afraid for my child. I am scared to see what the future holds for them and I don't feel like I have any options left. What can I do?." I HEAR YOU and I will tell you these statements always bring a tear to my eye. Just like a young child reading off an affirmation about how awesome they are, but not truly believing it in their heart yet.
My response is simple. You have not tried everything yet. Every child deserves everything we can offer to live an optimal and truly joyful life. If you are really struggling please take the time to educate yourself on the services in my office. You can do this by taking advantage of a complementary phone consult with me, to see if the NeuroMetabolic Integration program is a good option for your child. With this program, I evaluate fully before we even determine if treatment is an option. For the sake of your child and your family, take the time to see if this program would be a good fit for them. My goal is to help your child thrive! My biggest reward in life, other than the smiles from my own four children, is your child giving me a high-five because they are doing better. You have nothing to loose. Take the time to get educated and see if a natural approach can help your child blossom!

Humanity has successfully banned and eliminated less devastating weapons, but curiously we have come to live with the idea that some countries are entitled to keep nuclear weapons. Worse, we have come to accept that their production is nothing to be ashamed of and that investing in these companies is sound financial practice.
Investing in genocide is inexcusable, and it is time we tell our banks, pension funds, and insurance companies to stop financing the bomb.
To that end, the Dutch peace organization PAX, for which I'm a senior researcher, produces an annual report called Don't Bank on the Bomb, providing a detailed overview of financial institutions that invest in companies building nuclear weapons. But the report does more: It highlights positive examples of financial institutions actively divesting from nuclear weapons producers, showing that divestment is not only a feasible strategy but also a socially responsible and ethically sound way to watch over the money of clients. Divesting from nuclear weapons is not rocket science.
Campaigning for divestment helps to curtail and eliminate nuclear weapons in more than one way. First, it helps to further stigmatize nuclear weapons. Most people are unaware that their savings help to finance the bomb, and when this is pointed out to them, most people are uneasy or even appalled by the idea. By providing customers with the facts, we stimulate their readiness to take it up with their banks and pension funds and give them notice to divest from these inhumane weapons. This stigmatization of nuclear weapons is more important than we may think. No weapon has ever been eliminated before it was outlawed. And no weapon is outlawed without first becoming stigmatized.

Lavrov on canceled G8 meeting: "We don't believe it will be a big problem"
March 24 - Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov shows defiance after G8 leaders call for the next meeting of the group to be canceled. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
World leaders arrive for a royal dinner in the Hague. It's a working dinner hosted by the Dutch King and Queen for those attending the Nuclear Security Summit. The leaders are taking part in two-days of talks aimed at agreeing steps to help prevent al Qaeda-style militant groups from acquiring nuclear bombs. On the sidelines of the talks, an emergency Group of Seven meeting was held to discuss how to put pressure on Russia over Crimea. The G7 agreed to hold their own summit this year instead of attending a planned G8 meeting in Russia, and decided to suspend participation in the G8 until Russia changes course. Earlier at a news conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the G8 may have outlived its purpose. (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) RUSSIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEI LAVROV SAYING: "If our Western partners believe the format has exhausted itself, we don't cling to this format. We don't believe it will be a big problem if it doesn't convene." Western officials now are focused less on persuading Russian President Vladimir to relinquish Crimea - a goal that seems beyond reach - than on deterring him from seizing other parts of Ukraine, which were under Moscow's control within the Soviet Union until its break-up in 1991.

2015 Longford Senior Football Championship Round 1 Draw
The draw for Round 1 of the 2015 Longford Senior Football Championship was made at the County Board meeting in Aras Ui Bhriain, Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Tuesday night and the most intriguing game is the clash of the 2013 champions Longford Slashers and the 2014 beaten finalists Mullinalaghta St Columba's with Denis Connerton and Gerry Lynn back in charge of the respective teams.
There will also be a lot of interest in the local derby between Dromard and Fr Manning Gaels while St Mary's Granard, with Niall Sheridan back as manager, will face the Paul Barden powered Clonguish.
The title holders Killoe, under the guidance of new manager Declan Rowley, will take on Mostrim in Round 1 and Emmet Og are considered the strong favourites to retain the Connolly Cup.
In the other first round ties Abbeylara will meet Ballymahon while last year's Intermediate champions Carrickedmond confront Colmcille.
Round 1 Draw
Dromard v Fr Manning Gaels
Killoe Emmet Og v Mostrim
Carrickedmond v Colmcille
St Mary's Granard v Clonguish
Abbeylara v Ballymahon
Longford Slashers v Mullinalaghta St Columba's
The format for the Senior Championship remains the same with a new draw for Rounds 2 & 3 and the eventual top eight teams in the table will qualify for the quarter-finals.
Nine clubs in Intermediate Championship
Nine clubs will compete for the Gerry Hennessy Cup in the 2015 Intermediate Football Championship, divided into two groups on a round-robin league system.
Group 1 - Ardagh St Patrick's, Young Grattans, Killashee St Brigid's, Ballymore and Cashel
