Itinerary (2020)
Day 1
Welcome to Toronto, Canada's largest and most cosmopolitan city. At 6 pm, meet your traveling companions for a welcome drink. Your Tour Director prepares you for your upcoming adventure.
Day 2
This morning, enjoy a sightseeing tour. Highlights include the Legislature Building; the ethnic neighborhoods; the University of Toronto; and Eaton Centre, the city's number-one tourist attraction, with more than 300 stores for world-class shopping. The tour concludes with lunch atop the 1,815-foot-tall CN TOWER, where you'll enjoy incredible views of the city and harbor below you. (B,L)
Day 3
Leave bustling Toronto and travel along the shores of Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls. For the adventurous, your Tour Director will suggest optional flightseeing over the falls. Then, board a sightseeing CRUISE for a thrilling ride to view the thundering falls from river level. Later, visit picturesque Niagara-on-the-Lake, where there is time to browse the shops of Main Street and visit a local [LF] WINERY for a tour and tasting. Tonight, you may wish to see the illumination of the falls as they are lit in every color of the rainbow. A special treat not to be missed! (B)
The Niagara Falls sightseeing cruise is subject to favorable weather and/or river conditions. Favorable conditions normally exist from May to November. When conditions are unfavorable, a walking tour through the scenic tunnels will be substituted.
Day 4
Travel this morning to Gananoque, where you'll board your boat for a lunch CRUISE through the waterways of THOUSAND ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK. Continue to the nation's capital of Ottawa, pleasantly framed by the banks of the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal, for a 2-night stay. Dinner this evening is at a local restaurant. (B,L,D)
Day 5
Morning sightseeing includes the Canadian Mint, the residences of the Governor General and Prime Minister, and Parliament Hill. Enjoy a delicious Canadian specialty, a [LF] BEAVERTAIL, a pastry stretched to the shape of a beaver tail with toppings added. The balance of the day is free. You may wish to visit the world-renowned Canadian Museum of History, shop for souvenirs, or spend time at the National Gallery of Canada. For dinner, maybe visit lively and colorful Byward Market and choose from its array of specialty restaurants. (B)
Day 6
Drive north this morning to Cap-de-la-Madeleine for a visit to the BASILICA OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY, a national shrine famous for its fine stained-glass windows. Time to stroll through the grounds of the sanctuary and see the miraculous Madonna in the old chapel. Continue your journey to romantic Québec City, one of the most historic and best-preserved cities in North America. This evening, enjoy [LF] regional FRENCH CUISINE at a special dinner in Old Town Québec. (B,D)
Day 7
This morning, enjoy an included guided tour of Canada's only walled city. Until the British victory of 1759, Old Québec was the center of New France; today, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the walls are Place d'Armes, Laval Seminary, and ancient Place Royale. Also, see the old-world houses crowding the narrow streets in Lower Town by the St. Lawrence River and historic Plains of Abraham. This afternoon is free for independent activities. Maybe explore the historic sites, take a carriage ride, or stroll the streets of Old Québec City. Your Tour Director will have suggestions for additional sightseeing, shopping, and dining. This evening, consider an optional dinner that includes a visit to 274-foot-high Montmorency Falls and takes you over to Ile d'Orléans, where you'll enjoy a delightful dinner at Le Moulin de Saint-Laurent, a restored 17th-century flour mill. (B)
Day 8
Before leaving Québec, we'll stop at a [LF] SUGAR SHACK for a guided tour to learn the art of making maple syrup and to enjoy a traditional sugar shack breakfast. On to Montréal, where sightseeing with a Local Guide takes in NOTRE DAME BASILICA, the Old Seminary of St. Sulpice, and a drive to the top of Mount Royal to enjoy a panorama of the city. This evening, enjoy a farewell dinner in the heart of Old Montréal. (B,D)
Day 9
Spend the morning at leisure. This afternoon, transfer to the pier to embark on your Holland America cruise ship, the MS Zaandam or MS Amsterdam. (B,D)
Day 10
Visit Canada's only walled city, which, until the British victory of 1759, was the center of New France and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll within the walls and see the Place d'Armes, Laval Seminary, and ancient Place Royale. Also see Old World houses crowding the narrow streets in Lower Town by the St. Lawrence River and the historic Plains of Abraham. (B,L,D)
Day 11
Québec City marks the start of Saguenay Fjord. This 200-mile-long natural canal brings saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean inland and creates a beautiful environment for waterfront living for the communities of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Spend the day at leisure aboard the ship, taking advantage of the numerous amenities. (B,L,D)
Day 12
Spend the day in Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, the provincial capital named after Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. The city is famous for hosting the 1864 conference that three years later led to the creation of the independent Dominion of Canada. Perhaps take a trip to Cavendish and visit the famous Anne of Green Gables homestead. (B,L,D)
Day 13
So green and Gaelic is Cape Breton Island that Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell called it home for the last 37 years of his life. In fact, Cape Breton was principally settled by Highland Scots whose families had come out on the wrong side of rebellions against the Crown. You can still see this heritage in the accents in some remote villages—and in the great popularity of Scottish-style folk music. Today, you may choose to travel along the scenic Cabot Trail or visit historic Louisbourg Fortress, which recreates life in French-occupied Canada. (B,L,D)
Day 14
Arrive in Halifax, where lighthouses stand sentinel on cliff side ledges and tiny villages huddle in rocky inlets. Take time to explore Citadel Hill with its early 19th-century star-shaped fort, the tree-shaded walks of the public gardens, and Fairview Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 100 people who perished on the Titanic. (B,L,D)
Day 15
Arrive in Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine's oldest summer resort, and stroll around the charming waterfront with its many shops, galleries, and boutiques. Alternatively, take an optional excursion to picturesque Acadia National Park, one of America's most visited parks. (B,L,D)
Day 16
The tour ends this morning. Guests depart on individual schedules. Please schedule your flights after Noon. (B)

Article continues below Editors' Picks Williams case shows Solskjaer isn't holding Man Utd's youngsters back – he's protecting them Goalkeeper crisis! Walker to the rescue but City sweating on Ederson injury ahead of Liverpool clash Out of his depth! Emery on borrowed time after another abysmal Arsenal display Diving, tactical fouls & the emerging war of words between Guardiola & Klopp "For sure we have to win this competition. But it's not important," he said. "A lot of times we compare, good season, bad season, if you win something. But you have to know what our level is now."With Chelsea currently fifth in the league, speculation over the manager's future continues to grow, but he believes the job he is doing is of the highest standard."I'm very satisfied with my job and the work we're doing. Me, the staff, my players, we're doing a fantastic job," he said. "Then, if you are able to win something, it's good. But you have to understand — what is your level in this moment?"Last season every player performed 120 per cent, maybe 130%. Also, we lost a lot of players who created a basis for Chelsea for a long time."This season has confirmed one thing: that last season we did an incredible achievement."Now we are trying to build a basis, fundamentals for this club. For this reason, we have a lot of young players, a lack of experience when you play against teams like Barcelona."The answer to the club's problems, according to Conte? Investment in the summer – a topic that has caused a rift between him and the board."If you want to improve, you have to buy great players," he argued. "I can give my opinion to the club, then the club has to decide how much money to invest. I have to stay in my place."Chelsea last won the FA Cup in 2012, when they beat Liverpool 2-1 in the final.

Recollections & Reflections – A commentary
WE don't know why they have been given such low marks but it's been at least twice since the Pakatan Harapan election victory on May 9 that the performance of federal ministers has been put at below par.
And the man who has made this evaluation is none other than their boss – the coalition's chairman and Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. We don't know though the detailed criteria behind the yardstick because we haven't been told about it.
Lack of experience because they are new to the job and a mind stuck in their opposition days are the two factors cited and many of us would, for the most part, agree.
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, for example, has been making statements as if he's an auditor, not a minister and what he hopes to achieve by doing that only he knows. And since some weeks ago he has a political secretary who's been talking as if he is a member of the administration, encroaching into areas under the jurisdiction of other ministers. When we had one before, now we have two……
Dr. Maszlee Malik, the education minister, is a Ph.D but look at his specials that have been slayed and torn to pieces all over on social media.
There are a few others who thought they were being clever by straying into the jurisdictions of others – a not uncommon practice during the Barisan Nasional days – but we thought this new government was supposed to be different and much better.
These at times funny utterances from federal ministers only go to prove that wisdom can be difficult to find. The number of academic or professional qualifications one has doesn't guarantee that person may indeed be such a wise character, that's for sure.
There was this recent episode when MPs Fuziah Salleh and Wong Tack were appointed to the committee that was to review the operations of the Lynas plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, without any terms of reference being made public. Yes, only two of them supposedly were to do the review, two politicians who were in the forefront of the campaign against the plant a few years ago. Given the circumstances, it would be too much in most people's minds to expect an objective review. Eventually common sense prevailed and a much bigger committee comprising mainly professionally qualified academics will do the job.
If however we take another look at many of the statements and decisions made after May 9, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire administration needs to do better, to give a sense of certainty and credibility, whilst also instilling confidence in investors.
There have many flip-flops regarding the high speed railway from KL to Singapore, the east coast rail link, our attitude towards real estate buyers from China, the employment of those under the now disbanded Land Public Transport Commission or SPAD and the most recent one concerning the underground construction work for the MRT2 line awarded to MMC-Gamuda by the previous government.
In the case of the latter, first we were told that the Cabinet had decided to suspend the work pending a review or even a re-tender, only for Mahathir to say differently two days later and followed by the announcement that a cabinet committee would undertake a review, which leads to the question "What influenced the cabinet to make that first decision?'
Why the fuss, when apart from Malaysia, Jho Low is not known to be a wanted man in any other country….
An issue was recently created about the infamous Low Taek Jho alias Jho Low and the possibility that moles in the government, including the civil service and security apparatus, may have been responsible in helping the Penang born to evade arrest while being on the run overseas.
This was first mentioned by former minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, who's been very much in the news since Pakatan took over the government, and then picked up by Mahathir. A most recent allegation also talked about sabotage within Pakatan and the civil service. I say created because no substantiated proof has been provided to back these claims, which should make some people in the government unhappy at being accused of conspiring with the country's public enemy number 1, although no one has specifically been identified by either Daim or Mahathir.
As far as is known, the only warrant of arrest issued against Jho Low has been by Malaysia and the bloke hasn't been here in maybe four years now! Reference has also been made many times to the Interpol red alert but the fact is that this alert is non-binding and Interpol itself has confirmed this, which means that no foreign government or police force is obliged to go after "fatty boy" if it doesn't want to.

Lost in the Forest by Sue Miller
Lost in the Forest is the story of Daisy and her extended family. Set in Napa Valley wine country, the book begins with the tragic and sudden death of Daisy's step-father, John. The story (told by Daisy, her mother, Eva and her father, Mark) follows their life after this event.
Mark realizes he still has strong feelings for his ex-wife and imagines them having a life together again.
Eva struggles to deal with her grief, while raising her and Mark's two daughters and the son she had with John. She worries about her young son, Theo, who witnessed his father's death but seems to be unable to understand it. She is also concerned about her middle child, Daisy. Sullen Daisy seems to not have properly dealt with her grief. Eva is ambivalent in regards to Mark's feelings for her.
Daisy has a hard time fitting in with her family and the rest of the world. She's at an akward age. She doesn't have the same interests as her classic, perfect older sister. Sudden interest from her mother's best friend's husband leads to an affair between the two.
This book was a fairly quick read. The story being told between the three people kept the pace up. However, this also made me feel as if there wasn't enough time for each character to develop. Daisy's feelings regarding the inappropriate affair were hard to relate to. For someone her age (15) it didn't seem realistic. The book seemed to end rather abruptly. There was no closure for me.
For me it was a 2-1/2 out of 5 stars.

Très bien,conforme à mes attentes, je recommande !
Sadly the jacket had a manufacturing fault and the inner sleeve lining was sewn to the wrong section of the jacket so I could not get the left arm in the sleeve. having to send this back.
The fit is very good apart from the sleeves are a touch long for me but not a problem. The fit is excellent, it gives plenty of room for movement without looking over large. The zip is strong and the jacket is clearly good quality in stitching and fabric. It is lightweight for wearing and protects well from wind and showers. I love the colour too, not run-of-the-mill but not strange and will look good with other colours. Overall, I am delighted with the jacket and would recommend it.
Light weight and easily packable. I use this jacket for work and I have been very pleased with it. I was looking for something light weight, easily packable and looks nice. I recently wore this jacket during some drenching rainstorms during very hot and humid weather in NC and stayed dry and also did not sweat to death. Feel like this jacket is just right for my work travels and weekend wear. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Honestly I haven't yet worn it, but it fits perfectly well. The color looks nice and the quality seems very well made.
I was blown away after buying this rain jacket. I'd wanted a rain jacket perfect for running in that allowed adequate ventilation and coverage. I wear my hair natural in a fro so having a hood that would fit over my fro and STAY in place was most important for me and the UA Forefront does that for me! I get so giddy whenever I get the opportunity to wear it. No more excuses for not running in the rain! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great jacket for the rain. Fits well and is comfortable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I love everything about this jacket, it's lightweight, sizing is perfect, great for running and keeping you dry. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Was in Boston on a rainy/windy weekend and this jacket was the best thing I packed!! It definitely kept the rain and wind out and was super comfortable to wear. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I use this to run when it's cold out and it works perfectly! It is not bulky so it's comfortable when running. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Aretha Franklin
Aretha Franklin (March 25, 1942) is a Memphis, Tennessee-born but Detroit, Michigan-reared American iconic gospel, soul, and R&B singer. Many have called her "The Queen Of Soul" and "Lady Soul". She is renowned for her soul and R&B recordings (on many, of which, she accompanies herself on keyboards and piano — a skill she learned at an early age, learning to play by ear, according to lifetime friend Smokey Robinson) but is also adept at jazz, rock, blues, pop, and gospel. She is generally regarded as one of the best vocalists ever by such industry publications/media outlets as Rolling Stone and VH1, due to her phenomenal technical and interpretative talents. Adept at the piano as well as having a gifted voice, Franklin became a child prodigy. By the age of fourteen, she signed a record deal with Battle Records, where her father Reverend C.L. Franklin recorded his sermons and gospel vocal recordings, and she issued Songs of Faith in 1956. She is the second most honored female popular singer in Grammy history ...Več
Aretha Louise Franklin (born March 25, 1942) is an American singer, songwriter and musician. Franklin began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin's church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Franklin embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records but only achieving modest success. Following her signing to Atlantic Records in 1967, Franklin achieved commercial acclaim and success with songs such as "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and "Think". These hits and more helped her to gain the title The Queen of Soul by the end of the 1960s decade. Franklin eventually recorded a total of 112 charted singles on Billboard, including 77 Hot 100 entries, 17 top ten pop singles, 100 R&B entries and twenty number-one R&B singles, becoming the most charted female artist in the chart's history. Franklin also recorded acclaimed albums such as I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, Lady Soul, Young, Gifted & Black and Amazing Grace before ...Več

I am sure we all agree we now live in a world where it is no longer difficult to communicate with someone in just about any country. Business leaders have recognised this transformation as a fantastic opportunity to grow their business in exotic new markets, but often find international expansion a challenging process despite the ease in which they can communicate their message. We can all agree that lead generation is the vital first step in the B2B sales process and this blog will offer guidance on some ways to make life easier when trying to win new business in overseas markets.
The difference that commonality can make
Central to the success of a telemarketing call is the ability to quickly build rapport with your prospect. Often when looking to develop business in a new market an inside sales team will overlook the importance of understanding the differences in business culture between their new target market and their existing clients at home. Before beginning any telemarketing activity you should prepare a briefing for your inside sales team on any differences in the business culture of your target market- for instance you should take into account how your prospects would like to be addressed, the usual working hours in the area, when they usually take lunch, how do they prefer to be contacted, and when do they take their holidays?
Doing this at the outset will help your inside sales team build a stronger rapport and seem less 'foreign' to your target market. By also taking into account factors such as local holidays and business hours you will also avoid wasting precious calling time trying to talk to prospects that are not in the office.
Where possible, take advice on the above from someone who knows the country well and ideally has either worked or done extensive business in the country. It would also be wise at this point to look into having someone from the target country perform the telemarketing on the campaign for you, at least initially to get the ball rolling in terms of business development.
Language barrier
Perhaps the biggest challenge to telemarketing in overseas markets is the language barrier. You will often find that a portion of prospects are written off from the outset simply because they don't speak the same language as you, which I am sure you agree is less than ideal. Even if they do speak English, you will find that prospects are generally much happier, relaxed, and therefore easier to sell to if they are having a conversation in their own language.
To reiterate the above, having a local speaker who is aware of the business culture of your prospective market is the best way to generate leads in a new market, but skilled professional foreign speakers are often very hard to find, and therefore command a higher salary to bring into your team full time. It can be an expensive risk hiring such a staff member at the outset of a period of potential international expansion where you have no guarantees of success or income from your new revenue stream. This is where a service like INCo's can come into its own taking away the burden of managing a new member of staff on top of your existing team and removing the risk of a difficult conversation if things don't work out. Again it is ideal not only to get someone with language skills but also someone with specific telemarketing experience working in your target market to achieve optimal results.
Translate your content
When looking to enter a new market in a country that doesn't speak your native language make sure you have content translated into the native language from the outset. When translating content, make sure you are using a good quality translation service to ensure the original message of your content remains and nothing is 'lost in translation'. This is also something that INCo can help with and we are able to translate content into nearly any language your target market may speak.
It may be too much of a financial risk to invest in wholesale translation of all your content and website before winning any business in your target market, but you should translate at least 3 of your most used pieces of content to ensure that any initial email marketing and telemarketing follow ups take place in the native tongue.
Over time you will want to build up your library of content in all the languages spoken to your target market, perhaps try to set milestones for future translated content pieces which will result in a steady stream of fresh content for your target market. It is also a good idea to consider having your website translated too, perhaps even investigate having a new website built and hosted on a domain local to your target market.

Niger Tornadoes new signing Michael Otuke, has revealed he's happy to join to the Club, but admits it was difficult to leave Nigeria National League side Kada City.
Otuke signed a two year contract with the Bernard Ogbe side in the current Nigeria professional football league transfer window, having spent last season with Kaduna based NNL side Kada City.
The combative midfielder told brila.net's Oluwaseyi Alao that he's delighted to join the Ikon Allah boys after a long transfer tussle with Kada City.
"Actually, I really can't express how I'm feeling to have joined Niger Tornadoes, it was a bit hard to secure the transfer but I'm happy it happened at the end but my documents are with Kada City and I hope they will release it to my new club very soon."
Otuke, added that he wIll miss his Kada City teammates and wish them good luck in the coming NNL super eight playoff.
"I'm going to miss the boys , we are one family but I have to move on with my career, though it was hard to leave the team. I wish them good luck". He concluded.

Grooming shouldn't be a major factor when it comes to rabbits. It isn't much of a hassle because rabbits are clean animals in general. They hardly take any showers if you groom them on a regular basis.
However, depending on the type of the rabbit coat, the grooming varies. Usually, short-haired rabbits don't usually need frequent baths, frequent brushing of their coats will keep them clean.
Brushes to Groom Your Rabbit
When they are in the shedding season, which happens every three months, brushing every day will keep them cleaner.
While you are brushing your rabbit, be gentle because the rabbit's skin is extremely delicate.
Unless you want to grow out your rabbit's hair, it is best to keep your rabbit's hair about 1 inch long. When the rabbit's hair is too long, the hairs are more likely to be matted or caught in hairballs.
I suggest buying a brush that is specifically designed for rabbits, the best brush to use is the bristle brushes because they will not hurt the rabbit's skin, but it still can brush hairs, and rid hairballs.
You can find these types of brushes at your local pet store.
Another alternative to rabbit brushes is fined toothed or a rubbing grooming tool. If your rabbit happens to have matted hair, patiently comb out the hairs section by section and remember to do this gently because the rabbit's skin is very fragile.
Do not under any circumstances use scissors to cut the rabbit's hair, if it comes down to it, go to a groomer to get the matted hair out.
Nail Trimming Process for Rabbit Grooming
It is absolutely necessary for your rabbits to get their nails trimmed so they don't hurt themselves or anyone else. Check weekly to see how long they grow.
You can easily trim them yourselves with a pair of Rabbit trimmers. The best way to Trim Rabbit's Nail is when you have someone holding your rabbit in a towel, just to keep your rabbit calm during the process.
Then you actually cut the nail, cut the nail and then remove the trimmers quickly to avoid nail breakage.
Try not to cut it too short that it will make them bleed. If that happens, use a cotton swab to rid the excess blood.
Tips: To stop the excess bleeding you can use "Kwik Stop", cornstarch or flour on the nail and put some pressure on the nail.
Take some breaks between the whole process to let your rabbit relax and cool down. Your rabbit will most likely kick, try to tame them because they can get hurt themselves. Make sure the bleeding is stopped before you let your rabbit go.
If you are really nervous about trimming their nails, go for some lessons at a groomer before doing it yourself. But for sure Trimming Nails are the main part of a Rabbit Grooming. Like everyone says "practice makes perfect."
Also Read: Best Caring Tips for House Rabbits
The common question people ask is
"Does my rabbit need baths on a regular basis?"
The answer to the question is no. Rabbits do not like baths in general, it actually causes stress for them; hence, the best way to keep them clean is by spot checking them ever so often and clean that particular spot.
If your rabbit really needs to take a bath, you can do so, but it will cause your rabbit stress.
Due to the rabbit's long and thick fur, it takes a long time to dry, you can use a hair dryer under the warm mode.
Overall, if it is possible, try not to give your rabbit baths, but brushing is a must. Grooming your rabbit, in general, will keep both you and your pet healthy and clean.

Envision it: you are collecting your things at work and miles away at your home, the stove turns on to make dinner. The air conditioning system is notified and lowers the temperature to deliver more cool air to offset the oven's extra heat. When you arrive home the lights automatically turn on as you come in the door, dinner is ready, and your home is at a comfortable temperature.
That's the ideal experience! And also the type of advanced home interconnectivity that is available now and 2017 could be a pivotal year for advancements in how your home's heating and air conditioning system functions as part of the team.
"Smart phones revolutionized our lives in part because they enabled thousands of apps to make our lives easier and richer," said Rob Haines, Marketing Manager for Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. "We predict that in 2017, developers will be centering on more new apps that permit all your home's systems and appliances to interact versus being siloed, and this will result in breakout new advancements in how your home's HVAC system works."
Smart thermostats and sophisticated newer HVAC systems can already send notifications to you about energy utilization and regular maintenance such as when it's time to change the air filter. Future systems could even be able to identify a potential equipment failure before it occurs and alert your heating and air conditioning repair company to call you and schedule a technician's visit. The technician will arrive with the knowledge about the problem and the necessary parts to repair it.
Another feature in the making is the use of infrared heat sensing within the home that will decifer which rooms are in use by residents and actually send heating and cooling specifically to those rooms.
"Zoned heating and cooling systems have been one of the fastest growing parts of the HVAC industry for quite a few years, and that will remain a huge opportunity," said Haines. "Furthermore, systems will center on heating and cooling specific rooms or groups of rooms as needed to upgrade comfort and energy efficiency."
And yes, Haines adds, the millennials are helping to drive the trends for at-home connectivity and more efficient HVAC systems. "As millennials invest in their homes, they expect their home systems like heating and air conditioning to not only do what they are told, but to observe and modify themselves and to proactively communicate with the homeowner. We also find that the millennials and Generation X are much more sophisticated about energy efficiency and those effects of their heating and cooling systems."
While right now is an ideal time to look at trends for the year, it's also a perfect time to benefit from savings that will pay off in the coming months. For the next several weeks many Service Experts centers are giving free or deeply discounted equipment when you invest in a qualifying item, such as a free furnace when you buy an air conditioning system. Heating tune-ups are also deeply discounted just in time for the coldest season of the year. Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Livermore today to schedule a no-charge in-home estimate or to set up a heating tune up to make sure your furnace is ready to keep you warm and cozy all winter long.

Heartstopping moment Alton Towers daytrippers were rescued after getting stuck on a 56ft rollercoaster for 20 minutes
Riders were stranded on the Spinball Whizzer after a thrillseeker wandered into a prohibited area
THIS is the terrifying moment thrillseekers were stuck on a rollercoaster at Alton Towers after it suddenly ground to a halt.
Riders were stranded on the 56ft tall Spinball Whizzer for around 20 minutes, the Theme park confirmed.
They were strapped into four-seat cars that spin 360 degrees while hurtling around a 1,540ft track.
Alton Towers said a guest accessed a "strictly prohibited ride area".
The ride is designed to make thrill-seekers feel like a pinball being catapulted at speeds of up to 37mph.
A witness claimed that six people were stuck on the rollercoaster, which had to be shut downat 1.05pm today.
Heartstopping pictures show technicians wearing harnesses scaling the ride to reach the trapped adrenaline junkies.
Thrill-seekers can also be seen being helped out of ride cars that are suspended on the track.
Last month, Merlin was fined £5m for the horrific Smiler rollercoaster crash which resulted in two girls having their legs amputated.

There were 16 people were on board one of its carriages when it collided in June last year with a stationary carriage at 52mph, causing life changing injuries to riders.
A judge ruled that Merlin Attractions Operations Ltd, the amusement park's operator, was solely to blame for the crash last year.
It took up to five hours for the victims to be freed from the wreckage.
And just last month, passengers on the same rollercoaster were left trapped in the air for half-an-hour after the ride came to a halt.
The rollercoaster had only re-opened following the Smiler crash the day before - but stopped working again ten minutes later.
An Alton Towers spokesperson said: ""The Spinball Whizzer was temporarily stopped due to guest action.
"This was a procedural stop and nobody was at risk at any time.
"Guests were removed from the ride in line with our safety policy, and the ride restarted 45 minutes later."

Difference between Jails and Prisons It is very often that the terms are "interchangeably", but what most people do not know there is actually a significant difference between the two. It is not just case of semantics. If a person is in a prison or a jail it has to do with the crime that person committed and the period in the process. Along with that, the treatment the inmates receive also fluctuates between the Ana. People always do not know the difference between the two terms, jail or prison, because they do not what either one means.
The big difference if a criminal will stay in a jail or prison facility; is the length of the person's sentence. A jail facility is not a permanent holding facility. A jail is used to hold criminals who have been placed under arrest recently. Also people enter a jail if they are charged for a criminal act and cannot pay the bail or bond. A jail facility usually hold short sentence offenders generally misdemeanors or one year or less. The difference between a jail and prisons, a prison is designed for criminals with a longer sentence.
Felony offenders) The majority of convicted criminals serve their time in a prison facility. Along with the length of stay for the criminals, is who will run the facility? A jail is controlled by the county's Sheriffs Department; prisons are controlled by the state or federal government. Criminals who are convicted of a federal offense will be sent to a federal prison. People convicted of a state law will go to a state prison institute Zion. Because they're meant to house inmates over months and years, prisons acclivities are better developed than jail facilities" Most of prison facilities have different services such as religious studies, substance abuse programs, work release programs, job training, educational programs, and an on-site cafeteria and infirmary. Although jails are often "house people" who have been convicted (or accused) of smaller offenses, they are not provide the same type of opportunities or programs as prison inmates.

Sometimes the weather is just bad. It's raining cats and dogs. But the boat still comes out and we will be there to meet it. On a particularly rainy day it was not looking promising. It had rained all day. It was so bad we stood in the bar on the boat and I did the usual talk. To be fair the weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of visitors. Off they went in their various directions. I stayed on the boat and had a coffee with the crew. I set off eventually with it still raining. I headed for the main light and as I walked up Palputation Brae the rain stopped.
A strange mist rose from all around
Do you see the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow? (or a group of non english speakers off the path. Grrr)
The island was bathed in sunshine as the May Princess left. And yes I did use the old joke 'we arrange the weather' to every visitor I saw!
On average we get 40% less rain then the mainland. We have suffered with a water shotage this summer. Many days we've looked back towards Anstruther with dark clouds above while we are in bright sunshine. One of those stange phenomina of being an island.

Very interesting shoot and some nice shots too.
Love to shoot this location.
Great report that.
I find it quite upsetting at the thought that the personal effects those poor residents cherished for so many years, memories and history, just ending up in a skip. I'm sure someone, somewhere in their families, would like to sift through them once in a while in the future. Years and years of history that helped them with their diminishing memories, just lost for ever.
The story around this place really hits home with me as personally, I am rapidly approaching having to make this very decision for my elderly mother. And it scares the shit out of me that I could pick the wrong home for her!!!
Very nicely done.
great set of snaps, alot of memories left behind.
They are looking at putting 20 apartments and 5 houses there, I take that as it will be knocked down
Little Gem, I enjoyed it Thanks
This really is a gem. Real shame if they just get rid of the place and everything in it.
Yes it is but unfortunately I have been informed the idiots are already helping themselves to things so will all b trashed soon I have no doubt
now that looks a good place.
well done chap

And we're back!
It is a cloudy Thursday, which meant I had some awesome light in my kitchen to take some photos for you. My apologies again for the delay, to be frank I was just completely in over my head between work and my abuela coming into town. All is back to normal now and the show can go on!
So I would like to start off by clarifying why I feel the urge to show you how to dice and chop like a pro. It is because I want you to eat delicious things that look amazing. Not in a fancy way, but more in a functional way. When your ingredients are evenly chopped or diced, they also cook evenly. Meaning, no little burnt bits of food (or at least a negligible amount) and no more mushy vegetables! Cooking starts on the cutting board, and if you take care in what you do there the rest will be a breeze and way more delicious…which is ultimately what matters the most, right?
Mise en place
Having your cutting area set up well will keep you from running back and forth between the garbage can, pantry, etc. This is what mine looks like:
This set-up is for chopping tomatoes. I have a clean cutting board, a bowl for the seed pulp, my paring knife, my (sharp!) chef's knife, a towel, and a big bowl for scraps. Not pictured: really, really, clean hands.
The onion
The onion is tricky. When I first learned how to professionally dice an onion at my first kitchen job I was so shocked that no one had shown me sooner. I had wasted so many years chopping onions like a crazy cartoon ninja, followed by weeping like I had just watched Beaches for the first time. (Remember Beaches? Anyone? Where is Bette these days?) Anyway…here is how to cut onions like a chef, not a cartoon ninja:
First off, let's identify the root of the onion, which is the bottom part with all the little strings sticking out. This part of the onion is important! It is holding all the layers together.
1. Keep this intact and start by carefully cutting the top of the onion with your paring knife.
2. Peel the paper-like skin off the onion. I use my paring knife for this part too to avoid getting onion juice all up on my fingers.
3 & 4. Sit the onion, root-side-up and slice it right in half.
5. Lay the onion cut-side down and make horizontal cuts about 1/2″ apart. Get as close to the root as possible without actually cutting through it. (Very important.) Keep one hand on the top of the onion for stability.
6 &7. Make vertical slices now, also 1/2″ inch apart. (again, don't cut that root!)
8. The most satisfying part. Turn the onion 90 degrees and slice against the previous cut. Also 1/2″ inch apart.
9. What you end up with is a perfect, evenly, diced onion.
Solid vegetables & fruit
I used an apple because it is familiar, and I can eat it after I'm done…unlike a raw potato.
1 &2. Examine your subject. Remove its stem and unsightly bits. Identify it's flattest side.
If it does not have a flat area, make one with a shallow cut on the most irregular side. This is for stability and safety.
3. Slice off a slab that is the thickness you ultimately want your final dice to be. I went with 1/2″ for continuity in this post but you can go as tiny or big as you want or the recipe calls for. The size of this slab will determine the outcome…so really think about it.
4. Start with cuts that are spaced apart by the same measurement we decided on. Keep them as straight & parallel as possible.
5. Finish with perpendicular cuts with that same measurement.
6. What you end up with is perfect cubes, that will cook evenly and look quite impressive.
The tomato
…should not be a big sloppy mess. If your knife if sharp, you're halfway there. The rest is a simple step to save you major clean-up.
1. Cut your tomato in half.
2. With your paring knife make a small incision on either side of the core.
3. This cut will allow you to easily push out the seed pulp. (You can use it for tomato vinaigrette later!)
4. Dice that tomato up…and admire your dry cutting board.
I hope that this provided some help in someone's quest to make cooking easier. Starting with proper, even cuts will greatly improve everything you do. And, it will probably be a little uneven at first but that's ok! There are other items that require special attention to prepping such as hard squashes and really irregularly shaped vegetables. I'll touch on those in the fall when I start to make ALL of the squash things. I would love to answer any questions you may have concerning prepping, dicing, chopping, or anything really! Please feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy Thursday!
xo. alicia.

Slave Polly is taken down to the dungeon after being bad... She is tied to the cross and has her pussy whipped. She is finally let down, and when she is, she is made to lay on the floor and have her tits stepped on. She is than led to another part of the dungeon and is suspended by her feet with her legs wide open, whilst Mistress Deville inserts and lights a candle in Slave Polly's vagina. She is then left suspended with the candle left to drip hot wax onto her pussy, whilst Mistress leaves. When she returns she has Slave Polly take off her corset and then clamps her breasts. She is than suspended by her breasts and her breasts are whipped.
Slave Sugarlump has got herself into a predicament, Master has decided she to be tied up. She got a bridle with a ball gag in and Master cuffs her wrists to a bar hanging to the ceiling and a spreader bar between her legs. Master makes her dance to amuse him and then puts a chain between her leg to the upper bar, and no matter how she struggles she can't get free.
Slave Lou is tightly corsetted, Master Keith has put her tits in a tit clamp, he used hypodermic needles and birthday cake cadles to put into her tits andl it them so wax drips down, he takes a lfogger and uses that on her tits ... Then he takes the clamp off and makes her play at being a puppy before putting herinto 4 point suspension and drippig wax from candles on her cunt ...
Master Keith has Slave Lucy suspended by her ankles in an old workshop, a bit gag in her mouth... He adds clamps to her nipples, and then weights for good measure... He then suspends her hands so she is in 4 point suspension and takes a lfogger and uses that on her arse. But thats not all before ong he pisses on her, then his friend arrives and both Masters flog her, strap her and genrally torment her !!

Reduce My Meds?
Perhaps the following are contributing factors in my ...whatever you call it. (my chest is hurting) He paid all that money for dinner with his kids but won't even pay for my grand kids to eat with us at Dave and Busters. Fucker. BTW, I consider all the grands our grand kids but he has made it clear to me that blood determines who is family. I said, "Hmm. I am not blood so what does that make me?" He said, "My wife." Sooooo, I am not blood and I guess that is why his son (uncaring leach) is on all our accts and will be made co-executor of his will and alot of money is already in his name along with Hunter's.
He is not going to grandson Josh's birthday party with me. He doesn't feel well. Yup. This is the same man who was at the taxidermy shop this morning offering to help his "lover" Jerome put down visqueen-however you spell it, let's just call it plastic-in some one's crawl space. ( feel like I could just puke.)
And then there's jury duty. I was summoned for my birthday week. I am freaked that I was summoned at all! I knew I shouldn't have registered to vote. Our votes don't matter anyway.
Hunter is always complaining about his kids and how he isn't going and isn't paying and he always does whatever they say anyway. My point being,....either man-up or stop complaining. At least stop complaining to me!!!! Asshole.
The dog thing? Those little labs aren't really recognized as a real breed by most and they have alot of bone problems. Doesn't matter. Hunter will get and do whatever he wants. I will have no say, as always. (getting a headache)
Did I mention that he is on the phone talking badly about me to his son...unaware that I can hear him? Bastard!
I am nothing. I am no one. Waaaah! Waaaah! Cry like a baby Middlechild. What a pussy. I am sick of him. I am sick of me. I am sick of life. "Pity party of one.....your table is ready."
What a difference a day makes......

Wish there were answers....for THE BOTH OF US!
To put it midly....you are up "SHIT CREEK" without a paddle in your marriage.
He dies....you get next to nothing...you divorce him...hmmmmmmmmmmm 50/50 in my state. Tell Hunter if he is that unhappy with you...to divorce you.
Mine has one leg on a banana peel..... I have control over everything.....sure helps with the other BS ...makes my decision THAT MUCH EASIER. I shit you not!
Wish I knew how to help you Karen. That ache in your heart can be felt by me honey.NO ONE deserves that treatment....but you know that. Just saying.......

When they said marriage is work, they didn't really express that women are the one's doing all the work. We have our own problems in my marriage, and my heart goes out to you. You deserve more respect than that, as does your family. Family is more than just blood. I am with you. Lots of hugs and prayers.

A discussion on how to accurately record AC & DC voltage with a data logger. A common data logging application is measuring voltage or current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment, such as a user monitoring current in wind turbines. These measurements can be broadly classified into two groups: AC and DC. Depending on the levels involved, some data logger models can directly measure DC voltage and current. Many data loggers can accept DC voltages up to +/- 30 volts and DC currents up to 30 mA (using a shunt resistor.) Except for power/energy application specific units, most data loggers cannot measure AC voltage or current directly and require external transducers to convert the parameter of interest into a signal that the data logger can measure and record.

DJ Lily is back again on BROR Records with another three tracks, mixing leftfield techno with two tool tracks for the DJs. The Waveform Transmitter's Léa Ben Saïd takes a listen to BROR05.
BROR05 is the second EP by DJ Lily. The mysterious Swedish producer, about whom we know very little, showcases his talents in different ways since his first release. Still very much anchored in techno, the A-side and the B-side are very different, explaining why the tracks are split this way. The three-track EP is a dark and atmospheric trip across DJ Lily's style, for our utmost pleasure.
The record starts with 'Kärlek', and DJ Lily eases us in. The song is more emotional than the producer's previous work, with Camilla whispering on top of the drums. Those are still fairly heavy, getting faster throughout the song, but also going completely silent at certain points. I think this is probably the most interesting track of the EP, with a style different to what DJ Lily has gotten us used to, which one should take the time to explore a bit more.
On the B-side, Lily lays down two focused techno tracks. The first one, 'Forward', is playful and hard hitting. A bit heavier than the A-side, there is a nice echo effect all along the song. DJ Lily combines synth-lines and a heavy persistent beat. This results in an efficient and hypnotic track, albeit slightly lacking originality.
The final track of the EP, 'Backward', is quite similar to 'Forward'. With a similar speed and the same hypnotic feel, undoubtedly due to the repetitive melodic pattern, I find it more heavy than the previous track, but also more club-orientated. DJ Lily provided again a track that can work pretty much anywhere, just like 'Forward', while Kärlek is the most interesting track on this release.
'BROR05' can be purchased on Lobster Records here, but in the meantime take a listen to the release, below.

Bonfire night is lots of fun for all the family but there are some important safety precautions to consider before you set off any fireworks. Whether you'll be putting on a public display or just hosting a gathering in the garden, read our round up of top tips and Draper Tools essentials for a safe, successful fireworks night.
Top of the list is a torch; this is especially handy for reading firework instructions in the dark. The Draper 6V ABS Torch/Lantern comes with 19 LED's and is manufactured with a water resistant ABS Housing. It's supplied complete with a PJ996 battery. LED torches can last up to 50 times longer than regular ones, so you won't have to worry about battery life if you need to use your torch a lot on the night.
A few buckets of water are essential on fireworks night, as is a separate bucket of soft earth to put your fireworks in. This Draper Tools 14.8L Black Bucket is made from quality polyethylene and has a durable metal carrying handle, making it ideal for use on fireworks night.
Sparklers can be great fun but remember to safely dispose of any used sparklers by putting them hot end first into a bucket of water. Never give sparklers to children under five years old and if you do give them to older children make sure they hold them at arm's length and wear protective gloves. The Draper Tools Young Gardeners Gloves are perfect for keeping young hands safe and warm on fireworks night.
Keep Your Hands Safe
It's very important to properly protect your hands when dealing with fireworks. This is especially important after your display has finished, when you need to collect spent fireworks without endangering your hands. We recommend a strong pair of protective gloves like the Draper Riggers Gloves and using a tool such as the Draper Tools Litter Picker to enable you to safely pick up any spent fireworks.
If you're going to be setting off fireworks yourself your eyes must be properly protected. A pair of safety goggles is an absolute must to keep your eyes safe from sparks, cinders or falling debris. With their anti-mist design, impact resistant polycarbonate lens and adjustable elasticated strap, the Draper Safety Goggles are compliant with EN166.1 B specifications and are a fireworks night essential.
If you're going to be close to the action it can be very loud, so it's a good idea to have some protection for your ears. These Draper Ear Plugs are a great choice, soft PU foam which gives high performance protection and a tapered design which reverts to original shape after use. If you're hosting a big fireworks display it's great to have a jar of 50 pairs. Hand the ear plugs out or simply leave the jar somewhere convenient on the night and anyone with sensitive ears will be able to enjoy the display.
Last but not least, if you're planning on attending the local public fireworks display why not keep warm with your own flask of hot tea or soup and save queuing up? The Draper Vacuum Flask has a stainless steel casing with folding handle and shoulder strap. Pop up easy pouring stopper and supplied with lid/cup. It's the perfect bonfire night accompaniment!
Whatever your plans for fireworks night, we hope you have a great time and a safe, successful event. For more details on safely planning a fireworks display visit the RoSPA safer fireworks website: http://www.saferfireworks.com.

Warriors 26-35 Munster
Pre-season friendly
WARRIORS wrapped up their pre-season schedule with a closely-fought defeat to Munster under the Sixways floodlights on Thursday night.
Munster's Tommy O'Donnell opened the scoring for the Irish outfit, before the hosts replied through Sam Olver.
Warriors then took the lead following tries from Dean Hammond and Wynand Olivier, before Munster hit back with a Duncan Williams score to make it a five-point game.
But Worcester made sure they would take a healthy lead into the break when Perry Humphreys bolted under the posts to open a 26-14 advantage.
But Munster closed the gap again entering the second half, when Williams scored his second try of the game, before two late tries from Mike Sherry and James Hart sealed the win for the Guinness Pro14 side.
The visitors started well and went ahead in the opening five minutes when O'Donnell raced down the left to touch down, before Tyler Bleyendaal added the extras.
Warriors soon found their way into the game and got off the mark courtesy of summer signing Olver, who strolled across to the whitewash after good work from the forward pack.
The hosts then gained the upper hand midway through the first-half when Hammond intercepted a loose pass from Billy Holland and raced underneath the posts, before Olver converted to give Warriors the lead.
Worcester soon had their third try when Olivier forced his way through a melee of Munster defenders to touch down.
But Munster hit back and reduced Warriors' lead with three minutes of the first-half remaining, when Gerbrandt Grobler teed-up scrum-half Williams to run in unopposed.
Humphreys then got on the scoresheet when he picked up Olver's crossfield kick and raced away from the halfway line to gift Warriors a 26-14 half-time lead.
Both team's defences were valiant entering the second half, with several attacks being thwarted at each end.
But Munster kept the contest alive when Williams went over for his second, before Bleyendaal slotted the conversion to reduce the deficit to five points.
The pace of the game slowed in the latter stages and it looked as if the scoreline would remain the same, but Munster stole victory late on as Sherry finished from close range, before Hart forced his way over at the death.
Warriors enter next Friday's Aviva Premiership curtain-raiser against Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park (kick-off 7.45pm) with one win from three pre-season games.
