Description: MLP Chess is a thing known as a chess variant. In chess variants, the general idea is the same as chess (turn-based, boards, pieces) but there are certain elements changed, such as the setup, different pieces and even turn order. This is one of the milder ones, meaning that it plays a lot like FIDE, *the* chess.MLP Chess

TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN PART 2 Movie Review
It has been an amazing ride that fans will not soon forget. The final installment of the Twilight Saga will hit theaters this weekend leaving Twihards aching for more. In "Breaking Dawn part two" Bella (Kristen Stewart) has joined the Cullen's as the newest member of the clan. Bella awakens and finds her senses have intensified and a new challenge of dealing with her thirst for blood. Somehow her control is much easier for her to gain and she seems to out power her fellow vampires.
When Bella meets her daughter Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) she has grown significantly in just two short days. It is obvious that she has special powers of her own and is a gift to be cherished. Bella and Edward (Roberta Pattison) are living a fairy tale. However with this fairy tale you can expect evil to be waiting in the wings to strike. In this case it is the return of the Volturi. They are out for blood when they discover Bella and Edward have a child, one they believe to be immortal.
When Renesmee is threatened by the Volturi the Cullen's are prepared to go to war. They will not be fighting alone as they enlist many other vampires to convince the Volturi that Renesmee poses no threat and to let Edward and Bella raise her in peace. In case back up is needed the wolf pack is there which includes Jacob who has imprinted on Renesmee and refuses to leave her side.
"Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2" has perfected the end and will have fans falling in love all over again. There was enough drama to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. The dramatic fight sequence was a show stopper with remarkable special effects. Pattison and Stewart had their fiery chemistry and the young Renesmee portrayed by Mackenzie Foy was impressive. This young beauty was a great addition. "Breaking Dawn Part 2" offers readers and moviegoers the ending they hoped for. Only problem is most will be asking for more and wishing it was not the final chapter.

Nancy, Miss, an opprobrious epithet for an exceedingly effeminate, over-nice young man. The original Miss Nancy, however, was a Mrs. Anna Old field, a celebrated actress, who died in 1730 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. She was extremely vain and nice about her dress, and as she lay in state, attended by two noblemen, she was attired, as she had directed shortly before her death, in "a very fine Brussels lace head-dress, a Holland shift with a tucker and double ruffles of the same lace, a pair of new kid gloves," etc., a circumstance alluded to by Pope .... [William S. Walsh, "Handy-Book of Literary Curiosities," 1892]
Nancy boy "effeminate male homosexual" is attested by 1958.

Letters home
Mornings has paid tribute to the Anzacs by sharing the stories of two soldiers from the Mid West.
- Print page

- Permalink
Keith Bedford Mitchell was born at Dongara in 1903.
He was the only son of farming parents and went on to become a pastoralist on the family's station.
When World War II broke out, Keith put his age back and handed the station over to a manager so he could enlist in the army.
He trained in Northam before being sent to Singapore, where he was later captured by the Japanese and spent three and a half years as a prisoner of war.
Listen as his niece, Mary Maurer, shares Keith's amazing story of survival.
She was also kind enough to share two of his letters home.
'Dear Belle'
Rick Sullivan's great uncle, Tom Sullivan, wrote letters to his sister Belle during World War I.
Tom was posted to Cairo, Egypt, and described being camped near the pyramids in a letter dated January 6, 1915.
Hearing the letter, read aloud by Rick, you still get a sense of the adventure and excitement that many young men felt at the time.
Sadly, Rick never got to meet his great Uncle Tom.
He was wounded at Lone Pine and eventually died of his injuries.

Mold making has always been a tough, competitive business. Recently, the globe-shrinking effects of advanced transportation and communication technologies, as well as governmentally mandated free trade initiatives, have made it even tougher.
International competition, says Chicago Mold Engineering (St. Charles, Illinois) CEO Ralph Oswald, is "brutal; Canada is so close and convenient, and China is so cheap." His company, Chicago Mold Engineering, was founded in 1944 with $500 by German immigrant Eric "Ozzie" Oswald. The company has since grown to fill about 40,000 square feet of manufacturing, engineering and office space, and it employs 70 people.
CME produces large single-cavity and complex multi-cavity molds for thermoplastic and thermoset applications, serving manufacturers in the automotive, recreational, consumer electronic and houseware industries. Its molds shape products ranging from toasters to personal watercraft and from automotive lighting components to football helmets for the NFL. CME differentiates itself from both foreign and domestic competitors by taking on, and cost-effectively managing, large and complex moldmaking projects.
Both a small mold for a toaster and a large mold for an automobile bumper must produce parts that are mechanically and cosmetically correct. Customers for either size mold expect their molds to be delivered in a certain period of time. Making large molds does, however, present unique challenges and risks.
Take, for example, the mold CME created for the hull of a personal watercraft. It was 22 inches thick, 5 feet wide, 10 feet long and weighed 80,000 pounds. Manufacturing a mold that large, Mr. Oswald says, requires a definite plan. "You don't want to be moving the block too many times," he says. "You have to complete as much as you can on each piece of equipment. Whether it be milling or EDM, you have to keep your setups at a minimum."
While there may be instances in which more than one copy of a mold is required, Mr. Oswald says most of the company's molds are one of a kind. Often, the expense involved in making a mold will permit manufacturing of only one example.
In addition to producing large molds, CME seeks out complex projects many shops can't handle. Multi-color molds are one of its specialties. In the multi-color cycle, hot plastic of one color is injected into the mold and hardens, then the mold is rotated and the second color is injected to complete the part.
To ensure that final molded parts are functionally and cosmetically correct, CME regularly holds tolerances of plus or minus 0.001 inch. Some automotive lighting components, Mr. Oswald says, "have optical surfaces with virtually no tolerance."
Handling challenging projects cost-effectively requires the company to continually keep pace with technological developments in mold manufacturing. As machine tool technology evolved and computers replaced drawing boards, CME has added new machine tools, used advanced cutting tool technology and evaluated design and manufacturing software packages for maximum utility and productivity.
For example, about 4 years ago, CME acquired a Makino (Mason, Ohio) SN64 high speed graphite machining center to produce electrodes for its EDM operations. After evaluating a number of 3D machining software packages to create tool paths from the engineering group's CAD mold designs, CME chose the PowerMill package from Delcam International Inc. (Windsor, Ontario, Canada).
"We relied on the input of the machine's operator," Mr. Oswald says. "He said the Delcam program reacted better for high speed machining; the exits and entries were more gentle on the machine."
CME also employed PowerMill software when it added an FPT (Canton, Michigan) five-axis horizontal boring machine, and it uses the package on a Fidia (Troy, Michigan) five-axis machine purchased 3 years ago. "Almost every mold has some aspects that are best cut on a multi-axis machine," Mr. Oswald says. "Using a five–axis machine significantly reduces setups, cuts production time and improves quality."
CME machinist and network administrator Chris Saragaglia says "You're able to create different leads and links and different tool paths. PowerMill is precise in its curve and surface cutting boundary creation, and it enables you to blend your smaller cutters to the larger ones. The result is much less polishing and a nicer finished piece."
Operator Bill Kloskowski says it takes more time to program all the available options, but adds that he can "spend an extra 15 minutes programming and cut out 1 hour of cutting time. It has been my experience that when the blocks are large, you can save hours in just one path."
CME uses the PowerMill on the shop floor with Delcam's PowerShape, a 3D modeling program that enables operators to add or delete CAD features to tailor mold designs for the most efficient manufacturing. Mr. Saragaglia says he uses PowerShape to modify designs on the shop floor—for example, "patching over" details that will be created by EDM. "Before we had PowerShape on the floor, we would have to send the design back upstairs," he says. "An engineer would have to stop what he was doing, and it usually took a half hour at minimum to get a small patch accomplished."
"A lot of shops program off-line in a programming department," Mr. Oswald says. "I elected not to go that way. I give the operators the capability of doing tool paths on the machine. Once the operator is over the learning curve, his machine is always running. When he's doing his roughing operation, he's programming his semi finish or finish operations. It represents a lot of saved time and saved footsteps. CAM on the shop floor is becoming more common; people are seeing the benefit of it." Operator Ben Harkins says that using the CAM software on the shop floor "minimizes communication problems and misunderstanding between engineering and the machining floor."
Chicago Mold Engineering continues to seek challenging jobs while also acquiring the manufacturing technology to handle them efficiently.

Ask a Question
Appropriate Poems
Can you recommend and appropriate poem for a eulogy or memorial service?
It is difficult to make a specific recommendation, but here are a couple of poems that, while not religious, can be fitting for such an occasion:
Autumn Rain
Do not stand by my grave and weep.
After Glow
Id like the memory of me
Im Free
Dont grieve for me, for now Im free
I could not stay another day
If my parting has left a void
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
I have never been able to find the names of the authors of any of these three poem
Thanks -- Steven Moeller

FORMER Mayor of Dudley and Halesowen Conservative stalwart John Woodall has passed away.
The former Halesowen South councillor, who stood down in May, held various roles and offices over seven decades in public life including civil engineer, council officer, magistrate and school governor.
Halesowen South councillor David Vickers led the tributes to his friend and colleague.
He said: "I first met John in the 1970s when I was a CID officer and he was a magistrate, though he could be very stern I quickly realised he was a very fair and warm man.
"He was a great councillor as he knew everything about the council as he was a council officer before becoming a councillor.
"At the last council meeting it was said he began working at the council 63 years ago which is a remarkable amount of time."
He added: "He had a wicked dry sense of humour when dealing with ward colleagues or council officers and was wonderful to work with, I learnt a lot from him and his wealth of experience will be missed greatly."
Mr Woodhall had two spells serving as a councillor on Dudley Council, he represented Belle Vale between 1987 and 1995 and Halesowen South from 1998 until May this year.
He started work at the council as a road engineer in the 1950s and eventually became cabinet member for transportation in 2004.
He became Dudley borough's first citizen in 2006 and enjoyed his role as mayor. However, he fractured his hip during that year and subsequently contracted MRSA in hospital.
At the end of his stint as mayor he said: "I enjoyed a fantastic year as the borough's first citizen. It has been a wonderful experience and I would not have missed it for the world."
Halesowen and Rowley Regis MP James Morris praised Mr Woodall's contribution to public life.
He said: "Those of us who were fortunate enough to know John and to work with him will know how big a hole his passing leaves.
"He was a Halesowen man through and through, and even declining health couldn't stop him working hard for the community he loved through to the very end.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Audrey and their family as we remember the tremendous contribution John made to local life."
Conservative Pedmore Cllr Mike Wood, who was Mr Woodall's election agent when he last stood for election in 2010, added: "I will always remember the kindness and patience that John showed when he was chairman of Halesowen and Stourbridge Conservatives and I was first getting involved in local community politics.
"From the time I first met him right up until his final days, he was always there willing to offer advice, support and the benefit of his incredible experience."
Labour Halesowen North Cllr Hilary Bills also paid tribute to the Conservative stalwart.
She said: "John Woodall was my ward councillor and I always found him to be knowledgeable and friendly. "For the past two years I've been on Dudley Council with him and we worked together on the Licensing and Safety Committee."
She added: "There I also discovered his great sense of fun and wit. He'll be greatly missed."
Mr Woodall was a member of the Stourbridge and Halesowen Bench serving as a Justice of the Peace from 1978 until 2003.
He was also a governor at Olive Hill Primary School and was a prominent member of Halesowen Parish Church. He also was a member of the Freemasons Mark Lodge for over 50 years.
He and his wife Audrey celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 2005 and they had two daughters and three granddaughters.
Mr Woodhall, aged 80, had been ill for several months before his passing this week.

New floor and table lamps have been developed from the enchanting Meltdown: the characteristic spherical shape diffusers in coloured glass paste, mouth blown in a mould, are available in the same colours or a mix of preconceived finishes. The floor version is available with five or eight diffusers, the desktop version with one diffuser. This is a product where the illuminating function becomes an excuse to create an object with a strong personality. The colours available are dove grey, rose, tobacco, light blue, amethyst and amber. The diameter of each lamp is 285 mm.
Cappellini astonishes the design community with a new surprising lamp. Also the packaging is exciting, a portable box that exalt its lightness. Confirming his attitude to be synonymous with conemporary and avant-garde design, Cappellini presents a new product from a talented young designer: the Meltdown lamp by the Swedish Johan Lindstén. The official date will be January 2013 at the Imm Cologne fair (Germany). The project was shown at the Salone Satellite Milan 2012 and Cappellini will astonish the design community presenting it in a very short time. Meltdown is a group of lamps of thin coloured glass with a spherical shape. The inspirational idea was to make something beautiful from the disastrous nuclear accident in Fukushima. Would an actual meltdown occur and what would the impact be? The disaster is reflected in the lamps where the process already begun and the bulb are about to melt through the last defence of the glass. The diameter of every lamp is 285 mm and they can be composed in the linear way or as a grape. Lamp Meltdown - Single bowl bowl dimension: diam. 26,4 x h. 29,5 cm. ceiling fixing disc: diam. 11 x 2 cm. PO/1301: Available in the following colors: Amber VT1 / Tobacco VT2 / Pink VT6 / Amethyst VT5 / Light blue VT4 / Dove VT3 Lamp Meltdown - 3 bowls in line bowl dimension: diam. 26,4 cm. x h. 29,5 cm. linear ceiling fixing: cm. 130,8 x 7 x h. 2 cm. PO/1304: Fix combination of colors: dove, light blue, amethyst PO/1305: Fix combination of colors: pink, amber, tobacco Lamp Meltdown - Grape of 4 bowls bowl dimension: diam 26,4 cm. x h. 29,5 cm ceiling fixing disc: diam. 33,8 x 2 cm. PO/1302: Fix combination of colors: amethyst, amber, dove, pink Lamp Meltdown - Grape of 8 bowls bowl dimension: diam 26,4 cm. x h. 29,5 cm ceiling fixing disc: diam. 45 x 2 cm.

Marokey received vision care during OneSight's first Clinic in The Gambia, conducted in partnership with Sightsavers. A mother of four, 35-year-old Marokey had never worn glasses. She works as a gardener and told Clinic doctors her blurry vision made it challenging to work, cook and thread a needle. Her new eyewear allows her to see everything clearly. She said to volunteers, "I am very happy and grateful to you for changing my life. I can now do anything!" "We'll never forget the expression on Marokey's face when she received her new glasses," said David Berumen, OneSight Clinic Manager. "The fact that we are sharing this significant patient care milestone with our partners from Sightsavers makes it even more special." The Gambia Clinic is the first in a three-year partnership between Sightsavers and OneSight. Combining the strengths of both global vision care charities allows residents access to sustainable and essential vision care through existing eye care centers as well as supporting up to 15 new centers that will be established throughout the country. In preparation for this Clinic, OneSight volunteers and doctors have worked alongside local optometrists and optometric technicians to provide training in refraction and eyewear manufacturing. Following the Clinic, OneSight will continue working with Sightsavers to strengthen existing primary eye care centers in the area. "This two-week Clinic is the beginning of an ongoing effort to help thousands more like Marokey have their vision restored to live independent, productive lives," said Romano Albertazzi, Head of Sightsavers Italia. "We are proud to continue to provide the kind of high quality care found at OneSight's temporary Clinics to residents in The Gambia through our eye care centers, which will be open year round." "Our partnership with Sightsavers and The Gambian government makes it possible to sustain vision care in these local communities and help even more people in need," said Greg Hare, Executive Director of OneSight. "Helping our eight millionth patient is an important milestone on our journey to help millions more who suffer from uncorrected refractive error and other vision impairments. It is through partnerships like these that we must all work together to help solve the global vision crisis." The Gambia OneSight Clinic in partnership with Sightsavers concludes on July 1. Follow the Clinic's activities on the blog , Twitter ( @onesightorg and the hashtag #onesight8) and on the OneSight Facebook page. Notes About OneSight... OneSight, a Luxottica Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the U.S., dedicated to improving vision for those in need worldwide through outreach, research and education. Since 1988, OneSight outreach efforts have helped more than eight million people around the world see more clearly. OneSight research and education efforts have granted millions towards research and education. Luxottica, a global leader in eyewear, provides inspiration for OneSight and it is the organization's main sponsor. Notes about Sightsavers... 1. Sightsavers is a registered UK charity (Registered charity numbers 207544 and SC038110) that works in more than 30 developing countries to prevent blindness, restore sight and advocate for social inclusion and equal rights for people who are blind and visually impaired. 2. There are 39 million blind people in the world; 75% of all blindness can be prevented or cured. 3. Every sixty seconds another child loses their sight; only 2% of children who are disabled in the developing world attend school 4. In the six decades since its foundation, Sightsavers has: Treated over 206.8 million people for blinding and potentially blinding conditions Carried out over 7.1 million operations to restore sight Trained almost 0.5 million primary eye care workers Carried out rehabilitation training to 91,000 people

POLICE have arrested eight Syrians on suspicion of inciting riots at a refugee camp near the Jordan-Syria border.
About 100 Syrian refugees threw stones at police on Friday for preventing some of them from sneaking out of their desert camp. Ten officers were wounded, including two who remain critical.
A security official said a military prosecutor will question the eight suspects later on Sunday.
If convicted, they face up to three years in jail.
The Zaatari camp houses 150,000 refugees from the Syrian civil war. Another 350,000 Syrians have found shelter in Jordanian communities.
Conditions in the overcrowded camp have worsened since it opened last July, and there have been several riots.
In Syria on Sunday, troops backed by pro-government gunmen pounded rebel areas near the Lebanese border, activists and state media said.
The clashes came as US officials said the Obama administration was poised to send up to $US130 million ($A126.77 million) more in non-lethal military aid to rebels trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights said there was no immediate casualty report from the fighting in Basatin in Homs province.
The state television said the army was trying to "uproot all the terrorists from the area" - a reference to the rebels.
Elsewhere, the Observatory said fighting was also reported in the northern province of Aleppo, three areas in the suburbs of Damascus and the central province of Idlib.
In the past two weeks, the Syrian military - supported by pro-government fighters backed by the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group - has pursued a campaign to regain control of areas near the Lebanese border.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Seeking expert counseling is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help.
You are not taking a relatively low dose of quetiapine. The actual recommended dose is 50 mg twice a day for bipolar.
You may very well have been wrongly diagnosed at the time and you were just angry and upset about the failure (and possible abandonment or abuse issues) of your marriage. You were self-medicating with drugs and alcohol and it is impossible to say what exactly happened 7 years ago to have the doctor diagnose you with manic depression (bipolar).
There are so many misdiagnoses, especially when it comes to bipolar disorder.
You say that you are mania free and have been since that time.
Do you have any other symptoms? Do you get very angry at times?
If you do not have any more issues of mania then you can probably withdraw from the quetiapine.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU DO THIS VERY VERY SLOWLY, otherwise you can get back side effects, and one of them can be to develop symptoms that mimic mental illness but those symptoms do pass.
This withdrawal process is called psychosis-mimetic, means that it can (not necessarily will) produce psychotic-like symptoms even in patients that are completely healthy.
There are other possible side effects which can produce the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, trembling, getting dizzy when you get up too quickly, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, nervousness, dizziness, headache, anxiety, and excessive non-stop crying.
I am not trying to frighten you but to let you know how important it is to withdraw from this drug very slowly and on a very slow regimen of several months. It you do this you should have no problems.
I think that you should get off this medication under the guidance of a psychiatrist or perhaps your pharmacist. The slow withdrawal is recommended by the British National Formulary.
If you have any other concerns, you may jump in at any time, now, or you can return later for follow-up questions.
I see you typing.
Do you ever hurt yourself (cutting, burning, punching walls, anorexia)?
Those other symptoms that you mentioned are very likely to be caused by your withdrawal from some of the quetiapine.
Your dosage was not that high, but if you didn't need it then it was too much of course. It was making you tired and reducing the dose gave you more energy.
Were you ever abandoned or neglected or abused as a child?
No self hurt issues then.
Your problem was more like Borderline Personality Disorder, but not really diagnosable. Just some abandonment issues. Not PTSD either. Although taking drugs may have been your self-abuse.
This book can help you.
And these exercises can help with your "Mediterranean temper".
In the following books:
and/or this book:
You do not need medication but just a bit of talk therapy, particularly Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
Is there any other way that I can help? I believe that you will be fine and can withdraw successfully from the quetiapine and manage and control your anger which comes from fear of abandonment.
I shall keep you in my prayers. I have great confidence that you will come out of this fine and strong. Congratulations on your successful relationship as well.
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC
Wonderful. That makes my day ! ! ! ! :)

If I Were Teaching Seminary...
Sin is to be otherwise than God means us to be, and to do otherwise than God means us to do. It presupposes freedom. For whatever be God's will with respect to angels and men, He does not will that, against their own will, they shall comply with His will. The holiness of the creature consists alone in the harmonizing of his will with that of God. Sin has its root and nature in the determination of the free will away from God. If angels or men ultimately attain a stage of perfection, in which they are removed from the possibility of doing otherwise, or being otherwise than God desires, such impeccability is not an original endowment, but is the fruit and reward of effort and struggle. The holiness in which men and angels were created was an undeveloped holiness, viz., a potential, but not an absolute impeccability. (p. 54)

Hello Pastor Weedon: Earlier this year, an Orthodox Priest did a "Ten Books of Influence" posting (http://fatherstephen.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/ten-books-of-influence/) and I'm wondering if you would consider doing the same. I know I would be interested in your list! Thanks for the consideration.

Pr. Weedon:
Strongly agree with your endorsement of Jacobs' Elements of Religion. Have thought about having my Deacon Board read through it after we conclude our Augsburg Confession study.
Have you had a chance to look through Jacobs' A Summary of the Christian Faith? It is basically the General Council's equivalent of Koehler's A Summary of Christian Doctrine, but it is in catechetical form (Question and Answer). Published in 1905, it follows the same outline as Elements of Religion, but was designed to be the fundamental systematics text at the Lutheran seminary in Philadelphia.

I have been coming to this site since it started a few years ago and I have had some fantastic help from experts on the site, particularly lawyer, Daniel Russell.
How do we find a new strata manager? It is not an easy thing to do. We got those Stratamatch people in but we decided not to go with them because they wouldn't tell us which strata companies are associated with them.
I then rang Cindy who owns this site and she suggested I contact Strata Community Australia. When I finally got them after having to ring them three times to get the callback that never happened, they said in no uncertain terms that they could not help me. I got a very cold response as if I had asked a dirty question. "We don't refer any of our members. You will have to find someone yourself by ringing around."
How is that helping me as a lot owner and how is that helping their members with potential new business. Cindy suggested we get quotes from three strata companies who are members of SCA. When I told the woman at SCA that she said she had no idea who I was talking about and that Cindy had no right to be referring people to SCA.
None of it makes any sense to me. Anyone got a good strata manager who would do a good job with a large 300 lot building? Seems like the only place I will get some good advice is from you guys.
Thanks in advance.
Hi K-top
We had no luck with SCA either. Have you been to the homepage on this site. Look under strata experts. We picked three from that list because there is quite a bit of information on each. We ended up going with StrataPlus. Our manager is doing a great job. What you need to do though is asked who the strata manager will be because they send their business development people to meetings.
We asked to meet the person who was going to manage our building. Offer to go to their offices to do that because the managers are too busy to go out and see potential new business.
I wonder why Cindy recommended SCA when the managers featured on her site were all excellent when we interviewed them. SCA are basically hopeless. They are there for the managers - not the lot owners. Amazes me they have no facility available for lot owners when they are the major industry body.
The Real Estate Institute is much more helpful towards the public.
Dear K-Top,
I would be happy to provide you with a proposal and guide you through the process. I attach a link below to our website we consider ourselves experts in managing large and complex Strata Schemes. The advantage you have with us is the Owner of the business is also your Strata Manager. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you further obligation free. www.resultpg.com
Sadly we are not allowed to place names on this site for ones to avoid. In saying this, there are some very good Strata Managers. May be suggestions or avoidance can be made via the little man and sent under a private message to you. Looking on this site is also a good answer. Good luck.
Finding a new strata manager is not always easy. Seems everyone has an agenda. That said, we did find our strata manager through this site. Everything here is pretty transparent and I know Cindy doesn't expect payment from a strata manager for new business. I know there are sponsors of this site otherwise we wouldn't get all this great help for free but it is nothing like those stratamatch people charge strata managers for a piece of business. I don't want someone having to pay to get our business. And I agree with K-Top - at the end of the day you don't know who you are getting because they are not transparent about which strata companies they have on their books. You actually don't know who you are choosing from.
We went with Strata Choice. Really happy. Didn't even tell them where the referral came from because I know Cindy doesn't like to be seen referring anyone. In fact she didn't. We did our homework and read up on some of the managers here and chose three from the list who appealed to us most. This is my take. If strata managers sponsor a site like this to help lot owners then they have an interest in the individual lot owners. Better still if they get on the forum to help. Just shows that they are giving something back so that's why we chose them from here. Good luck. I think you would be pretty safe going with any of the managers you see on this site.
I think when you are choosing a new strata manager, you need to put everything in perspective. Don't have unrealistic expectations. I have heard people say our strata manager didn't do this or this or this and the list goes on. At the end of the day "this" was not his responsibility, it was ours.
The difference between a good strata manager and a bad strata manager is communication. Find a strata manager with a charter in place that says they will get back to you within 24 hours. We had a strata manager who only responded to emails on a Friday. Our strata manager now gets back to us within 24 hours and the way I found this site is because he directed me to it. His message says, "I will come back to you within 24 hours. If you have a general enquiry, the lot owners website www.stratalive.com.au might be able to help you in the interim.
We found our new strata manager at a trivia night at the pub. He, or his company is on the strata experts list on this site. I read through those experts and I think that would be a pretty good place to start. I don't know anything about these Strata Match guys but unless there is total transparency - which there appears not to be - I would do the looking myself.
Strata Community Australia is an industry body for the strata managers. They have little to no concern for lot owners.
Quite honestly, it is a lottery finding the right strata manager and once you are locked into a contract, it is hard to escape.
We paid out our last strata manager just to get rid of him. Nice bunch of people they were. I have read much of what is on this site and while I know we are not allowed to mention names, I am sure it is the same company that everyone refers to as ABC.
That said, we got five companies to come out to us. We are a large building as well. Found out most of the information here in the one place so that was helpful.
I agree. Pointless ringing SCA. They are about the strata manager. Not the lot owner.
Hi Guys
It is a perception that SCA is only for the strata managers. They do want to help lot owners as well. Sorry for your experience K-Top.
We chose our strata manager from here as well. I agree, any strata company that is willing to sponsor a site for lot owners has lot owners front of mind.
There is more to the owners corporation than the executive committee but many strata managers can't be bothered with the individual members of the owners corporation. Actually that isn't entirely fair. They don't really have the time to communicate with individual lot owners.
I applaud the strata managers who sponsor sites like this to help compensate for a general lack of communication average lot owners. Therefore in the best interest of our lot owners in our building, we chose a strata manager from here.
We had four come in and there was very little in it in regards our choice. All of them were about better communication with the lot owner and accepted this was not always a priority in the past.
I think as this site builds even more it will be the best tool for finding the right strata manager. I don't think SCA will ever be the right place to go to find the right strata manager, however, starting with one of their members is probably the right place to start. They are trying to cover lot owner issues more than have ever done in the past so it was disappointing to hear about your experience with them K-Top.
I would have thought SCA and this site would be a perfect fit. In fact I thought they were associated because of the colours. Not good that Cindy refers people and their people do not even know who she is. Hey Cindy. I think your people should talk to their people!
1) Strata Community Australia won't help you. You are not their priority.
2) StrataMatch? If they don't tell you which strata managers they deal with, how can that be advantageous. Can you actually go to them and say that you want to choose out of 1,2 or 3 or do they tell you that you have to choose out of their 1,2 or 3. I can't see how that would work at all. I would be interested to know how many strata managers actually deal with them.
3) Stay here. Stratalive is independent. Cindy owns the site and never gets involved other than to give us a great place to come and get great advice and chat to other lot owners. We chose from the managers in the "strata experts" on this site. They all seemed pretty reputable. Doesn't mean there are no other good strata managers, this was just a great place to start.
Hope it all works out for you.
Thank you so much for all your help everyone. Seems I am not the only one who has problems. I had a couple of managers contact me through the site so I will get back to them in the next couple of weeks and I will also look at some of the others on Stratalive.
Thanks to the members sent me personal messages with referrals or who to steer clear of. Very helpful. Great that you can do that. I never knew that until now.
I am still surprised that SCA don't refer their members but hey, better off here anyhow with people in the same boat.
Thanks again.
Why is it so difficult to find a strata manager? Why are strata managers paying a third party for business? They should spend the money on improving communication with their existing business and then all these people would not be looking for new managers. Keeping the business you already have is ten times easier than getting new business.
Beware of anyone who is making a buck out of taking money from strata managers for your business. Those companies are only paying for the business because they can't get it themselves through tendering for the business. I would definitely not do business with anyone who couldn't or wouldn't tell me who the managers are on their books. That is absolutely fraught with danger.

Our son was struggling with music concepts and didn't look forward to attending piano lessons with his previous piano teacher. We later realised that it was that teacher's teaching methods that didn't work for him. We knew then that we had to look for another teacher. Since he became a student here, over a short period of time, we noticed that his interests in music went beyond the piano and he enjoys his lessons. He is interested in what different kinds of music pieces and instruments can do. He speaks about music notes and hand techniques are all 'fun'! Thank you, Charteris Music School!
Imparting a passion about music really shines through this program. It's so professional and everyone is always friendly and welcoming.

Social Media has hit the scene like nothing else before it. Everybody with any kind of business is trying to use it but is it effective or just a major distraction?
For starters, let's define what social media is.
It's a way to get your message out. However, advertising will do that for you. Social media is the tool used to begin and keep running conversations going. With an online business, that means conversations with others in your niche, your prospects, customer, and clients.
Why conversation?
It's just not a one-way street any more. It's all about the two-way, baby!
The days of putting your message out there and "hoping" for feedback are gone. With social media, the feedback is instant. Good or bad. Right now. In the moment.
It's good and bad.
Take those infamous Super Bowl ads. In years gone by, they've always been effective and have produced more than their fair share of water cooler conversations the Monday after.
Add social media to the mix and it's a whole different landscape. The conversations were amplified. They were happening on Twitter and Facebook during airtime. Forget the fact that you may never be in the market for those products. The Tweeting and Facebooking of those brand names was powerful.
Brand awareness was instant.
OK, and that means what for the small biz owner, people like you and me?
It simply means, if you pay attention, and follow some of their lead, you can do it too!
The playing field has leveled. Sorta.
You probably still can't afford to have your ad play during the Super Bowl. But, you DO have the means to engage with people on the social media sites. You do have the opportunity to go for it!
Start small.
Build your network. Be sure you are engaging with the people who already know, like, and trust you. Expand on that. Continue to grow your network and get the ones who already love you to tell others. In social media, that means getting people to use the re-tweet on Twitter, the share button on Facebook, the share button on LinkedIn, etc.
Get the picture?
It's nothing more than getting the word out. Asking your satisfied customers and core networkers to spread the love. Make sense now?
You may not be the topic of conversation the Monday after Super Bowl, but you could be the hot topic of conversation in your niche as you continue to spread your online visibility through the social networks!
Don't underestimate.
Social media is here to stay. You can either embrace it (while it's still free) and push yourself to engage and connect with others and build your online presence or you can pretend it doesn't matter and watch your biz stay stagnant.
It's up to you!
p.s. Be sure we're connected: Martha's social network.

|This route is fun, but it does not have quick clips it just has glue-ins for the anchors ( to lower have the final climb traverse over to Dirtago's anchors and you can easily lower from there), and a bolt is place very weird as it is in a little concave facing the sky. also the is a bolt by the small bush on the way up, it is easily missed.

|I was on Mowgli Grape with my daughter on Saturday, and both of the biners on the quick clips at the top are broken. The gates have no spring action and just flip-flop. Because this is a route climbed by many beginners, it's good to know (in advance) what's going on with the anchors at the top.

|Lower offs definitely need to be replaced on this one. Someone has taped the gates shut, so its useful (safer) to go into direct, rethread and retie in, and then lower.

Dating in real life is no easy chore. If you take it online, you risk a steady stream of creepers and Catfishers who lie about their height and male pattern baldness. In real life, you're dealing with douches at the bar who murmur things like "What's your Facebook, sexy?' with rank beer breath. Thus, it's incredibly tempting to pretend that the hotties smoldering through our favorite TV shows are our boyfriends. They have perfect abs, luscious hair, flawless line delivery and never sweat — why not?
And there are so many of them to choose from. A fantasy boyfriend for every kind of girl! If you have a supernatural fetish, clearly you'd welcome a little bite from Vampire Diaries Ian Somerholder. Love vulgar, sexually bonkers weirdos with a heart of gold? Cut to Adam Driver on Girls!
This weekend, take a break from real-life dating and fall hard for our ten favorite — if completely unavailable — TV boyfriends.

With their little ones in tow, celebs got into the holiday spirit on Saturday when they attended the 2nd Annual Santa's Secret Workshop Benefiting L.A. Family Housing. And the fundraiser had a very special pint-size guest: Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's newest addition, 3-month-old Finn, who made his first public appearance at the event along with his parents and his three older siblings: 5-year-old Liam, 4-year-old Stella, and 14-month-old Hattie.
Mom Tori even tweeted a cute pic of the whole crew standing in front of a Christmas tree … but it was little Stella who stole the spotlight, posing diva-style with her hand on her hip, donning a beret and faux fur scarf. "2Day=tree day," Spelling wrote. And she meant it! After the Secret Workshop, the family hit the road to get their very own tree. "On a train heading to a farm to cut down our own Christmas Tree!" Spelling posted a little later.
The non-profit L.A. Family Housing provides services to families to help them transition out of homelessness and poverty, and, Spelling wasn't the only "90210" alum to support the cause. Her former castmates Ian Ziering and Tiffani Thiessen also came out for the event. Ziering brought wife Erin and their 19-month-old daughter, Mia, with him, while Thiessen showed off 2-and-a-half-year-old cutie Harper. Other celebs including David Boreanz, Angela Bassett, and Lisa Rinna also took part, treating their kids to a visit with Santa at the event, and an expectant Malin Ackerman also showed up, maybe to get some advice from the other parents … but definitely to indulge some of those pregnancy cravings. The 34-year-old actress tweeted a photo of a spread of delectable-looking goodies under a sign that read "North Pole Bakery," writing: "It's December and x-mas is upon us...!!!" And so is the holiday eating!
Check out more pics from the event here ...

Johannesburg - The head of the Hawks in Gauteng has filed responding papers in the Johannesburg High Court denying that he interfered or took bribes in a criminal matter.
He has also accused the applicant's attorney, Saleem Ebrahim, of police corruption.
Earlier this week, The Star reported that Africa Cash n Carry (ACC) chief executive Edrees Ahmed Hathurani had brought a case against Major-General Shadrack Sibiya, General Anwa Dramat and the minister of police.
Hathurani said in court papers he had opened cases against a previous director of ACC and employees for fraud and theft.
He alleged Sibiya had interfered in the investigations and received a bribe of R2 million to make the cases disappear.
But in responding papers filed at the court this week, Sibiya said the application brought before the court was based on hearsay allegations.
Sibiya said the accused in the ACC matter, Cassim Aysen, along with other men, visited his office in August last year to lodge a complaint against the conduct of some police officers.
Aysen told him that he was a director of ACC, but he had left ACC to start a new company, and this had resulted in a civil dispute.
"In an attempt to frustrate and place undue pressure on him, the remaining directors of ACC used different individuals to open criminal cases against him.
"Members of the SA Police Service were used to arrest him in short succession for reward," Sibiya's statement said. "Mr Aysen alleged that the attorney of ACC, Mr Saleem Ebrahim, bribed the police officials to unjustifiably effect arrest on him."
Sibiya said a Captain Sina was allegedly one of the officials paid, and he actively took part in the execution of an order against Aysen, which is normally effected by a sheriff and not a police officer.
During one of Aysen's arrests, attempts were made to force him to relinquish his shares in ACC in exchange for his freedom.
At another arrest, Aysen said Sina frustrated his bail application by disappearing with his docket, according to Sibiya's court papers.
"Aysen believed that there were other cases in the process of being registered with the SAPS in order to ensure that every time he is released on one, there is another arrest in the waiting," the papers said.
"In view of the seriousness of the allegations made and the fact that Aysen has a right to liberty, and the police have an obligation to protect every person, it would have been irresponsible not to attend to the complaint," Sibiya said in his affidavit.
Sibiya denied directing that dockets pertaining to the applicant be brought to him or that he possessed or saw the dockets.
The responding papers said Sina was arrested by members of the Anti-Corruption Unit for corruption and intimidation unrelated to this case, and that he was represented by Ebrahim, who is also Hathurani's attorney.
Sibiya said Ebrahim was being investigated, and he referred to a video posted on YouTube, with the title "Crooked Johannesburg attorney in action", in which Ebrahim appears to be talking about police officers who are paid.
The video was taken in 2007. In the transcript provided, Ebrahim allegedly says "All those cops, every single one (inaudible)… they come here every week to collect money here".
The Gauteng Hawks head said the true intention of the application was to taint the image of the Hawks.
Ebrahim said the allegations made against him in the responding papers were "entirely without merit and baseless". Speaking about the YouTube video, Ebrahim said the issues were fully canvassed as far back as 2007 and were found to be devoid of truth.
"The affidavit contains various untruths that are deliberately designed to avoid the central issues. We will be filing an appropriate reply," Ebrahim said.
Aysen's attorney, Yusuf Ismail, said they were considering Hathurani's application and might intervene in the proceedings.
Ismail said there were "substantial misrepresentations, distortions of facts and blatant lies of and concerning our client." He said his client denied paying any bribes as alleged and denied any form of impropriety.
