Lorraine checked in, had a Red Stripe too and we were soon escorted to our private transportation.
Our driver Steve was very helpful and he also had Red Stripe, water and hor'd'evers for our hour long trip.
Once we arrived at Beaches, the Jamaican hospitality continued.
After a quick pit stop, I joined Lorraine in the Suites Concierge for check-in. Our concierge, Udell provided us with sparkling wine and took us up to our Grand Luxe Beachfront room.
There we were greeted with a fully stocked refrigerator, a bottle of wine and a fruit and cheese plate. Beaches really knows how to treat you with style!
We spent some time unpacking (one of us may have packed way too many shoes and clothes...ahem) and then heard the sounds of the Sesame Street parade passing by our door. I tried to get some photos but it was already nightfall so that didn't work out but the live marching band was a sight to be seen.

I assume you would transfer this to your daughter for no consideration (ie. No money) and, if so, transferring the house in to your daughter's name will not be that difficult and you will be able to do it yourself provided you are prepared to spend some (not much) time on it.
You will have to draft a Transfer (form TR1) from you to your daughter (which you will both have to sign as a deed (ie. witnessed) and you can download the template form from the land registry's website. You will have to submit this to the land registry with their form AP1, this is also downloadable from the website
by selecting from the "Forms" tab:-
You will probably have some questions on completing the form but the land registry's customer support service are very helpful to lay persons. A fee will be required and you can also ask them about that.
It's important to note though that once transferred you would not have any rights over the property - it will be your daughter's and she can do with it as she pleases.
If you continue to live in the property then it will be included in your estate for inheritance tax purposes as you would be retaining a benefit from the house.
Your daughter should also speak to lenders regarding raising a mortgage on it before you transfer to check she is happy with their terms.

text: Hello A25 users, You may not know me but I m well-known in A52, A70, A73 & A75 community. I am the one who found the way to root Micromax's devices by modifying boot.img & then using UnlockRoot or SuperOneClick to root the device.I first applied that method on my A75 & now it's the only method to root A52 also, they recently get rooted by this method only. I m positive that same method will work on A25 also...I don't own this device so can't test the method but it's working for almost all micromax devices. Now coming to point, I have modded original boot.img to root your device. I am going to explain step by step how to root your device.The I will explain how to get romdump of the device. Download the following files. 1) Unsecured boot.img (zip contains unsecured boot.img + A25 scatter file) 2) SP.FlashTool 3) A25_USB_VCOM_Drivers 4) UnlockRoot 5) Original boot.img (You don't need to download this to root the device) Note: Use my username as pw to download above files. Advantages of my boot.img: I have added init.d support plus ext2.ko,ext3.ko & ext4.ko modules initialization on boot.Just place this ko files in /system/lib/modules/ after rooting the device, u will be able to use Link2SD with ext2,3 or 4 filesystems on your 2nd sdcard partition. Reference for flashing: MT65x3 flashing tutorial Read the above tutorial first so u get idea how to flash an img file using SP FlashTool. STEPS TO FLASH BOOT.IMG: 1) Run SPFlashTool, preferably as administrator (not mandatory) 2) Select USB mode under Options 3) Click Scatter-loading & select scatter file you downloaded from above links. 4) It will automatically load boot.img if it's in the same folder with scatter file otherwise click BOOTIMG & select the downloaded unsecured boot.img 5) Turn off the device fully, remove the battery for 5 seconds to be sure n re-insert the battery but do not power on device. 6) Attach the usb cable with PC but not with device 7) Now click on "Download" button on SPFlashTool, it will show searching for device in lower panel. 8) At this time, attach the cable with device in power off state 9) It will search for drivers, select the USB_VCOM_Drivers u downloaded from above links. You may have to go to Device Manager to manually install the driver. 10) By that time if SPFlashTool shows some error then don't panic, just make sure that there is no ongoing flashing process on SPFlashTool n if the device is showing battery charging animation then it's safe to detach the cable. Detach the cable n follow step 7 again. 11) Now as soon as u attach the cable to device in power off state it will show a progress bar in lower panel n then a dialogue which states successfully flashed n another dialogue showing green colored ring n stating Download OK. 12) Close the dialogues, close the program n reboot the device by pressing power key. STEPS TO ROOT DEVICE: 1. Power on device. 2. Enable USB Debugging. - Settings > Application tab > Applications > Development > USB Debugging 3. Install UnlockRoot in pc 4. Attach device using usb cable in debugging mode(u just enabled it in step-2) to pc. 5. Now Run UnlockRoot program and click Root button 6. Confirm online device Micromax A25 in the list which pop-up. 7. Let in finish the procedure and Restart device when is asks. 8. See new Superuser app in app drawer 9. Viola...!!! Your A25 is now rooted. UnlockRoot does not install Busybox on device so after u rooted the device install busybox to work with many root apps.Search Play Store for Busybox Installer by Jrummy OR BusyBox free by Stericson... HOW TO GET ROMDUMP: Following link to my other thread will explain how to take romdump of your device. http://androidforums.com/a52-all-things-root/628032-make-romdump-mt6573-mt6575-device.html DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns before flashing! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

If you tried to listen to yesterday's Atheist Talk Radio interview with Shawn Otto, you may not have been able to …. the Internet Connection at the radio station was down. That is a very rare event Rare enough, in fact, that we checked outside to see if #Occupy was on our doorstep (the radio station being the first place you take over in a Revolution). But they weren't. It was just a technological problem of some kind.
Anyway, the podcast is now up at the Minnesota Atheist web site, here. Go have a listen.

Anyone have advice for me as to how to wean my toddler from night nursing?
We've already stopped nursing in the morning, and he doesn't nurse again til naptime, which I am fine with doing.
But he tends to nurse more at night when he's getting tired, and absolutely needs to nurse to fall asleep.
How can I break him of it? He wont let me just cuddle him to sleep or stay in there with him, cuz hell demand to get up and play.
Can you have someone else do bedtime?
we tried that a couple times, but he screamed when he realized daddy was putting him to bed. Daddy=fun playtime.
hes used to me putting him to bed, and doesnt cry that much, some days he cries a lot and ill leave him for 5-7mins and hell go to sleep.
usually I'll nurse him til hes very tired, then try and put him down. but if he is still awake when i do that, he needs his paci for a few mins til he is asleep.
can anyone help please?

A landlord has apologised to a mum-of-two after almost a year of roof leakage problems ended with a hole in her bathroom ceiling.
Kelly McVay said Incommunities just did "temporary repair after temporary repair" despite telling her she needed a new roof on the house.
The issue came to a head when Miss McVay woke one morning to find fallen plasterboard scattered around her bathroom.
"It could have fallen on me or my son, or my little boy when he was in the bath, or anything," said Miss McVay. "It has been one thing after another. I am sick and tired of it and I will not be treated like an idiot."
Now, the social housing company has started work on re-roofing the property in Carisbrooke Crescent, Wibsey.
"It has been a nightmare," said Miss McVay, who works in administration at the NHS.
"It started when we had extreme weather and high winds. The roof tiles moved, subsequently causing the roof to leak. All they have done is put temporary repairs on it.
This week a hole appeared.
Miss McVay said: "It started as a smallish, tennis ball-sized hole and ended up having to have a full panel removed.
"The roof has now sunk in places. There is significant damage to the joists and wood, it's not properly insulated and the bathroom is now cold due to the hole in the roof.
Miss McVay, who lives with her partner, Ben Crossland, and has two sons - an eight-year-old and a five-month old - added: "I have had to create a massive stink for them to do anything.
"We have secured a private let house because of them letting us down."
An Incommunities spokesman said: "We apologise to the customer for any inconvenience or upset that may have been caused over this matter.
"We visited the property twice over this bank holiday weekend to address further issues with the roof and ensure it was safe for the residents."

Windows 8 Metro app developers must not only create responsive software, they must also be aware of what Microsoft calls an app's "lifecycle". This term means what kind of state an app might be in while running in a Windows 8-based device. In the newest post on the official Windows 8 app developer blog, Microsoft goes over some details on how app creators can manager the lifecycle of their Metro-based software.
There are four parts to a Windows 8 Metro lifecycle: Not running, running , suspended or terminated. The chart above not only shows those lifecycles but also shows how a Metro app transitions between different states. For example, if a person switches between apps on Windows 8, the app they were using beforehand is put in the suspended lifecycle, which freezes it in memory. The app is supposed to instantly start running again when a user goes back to it.
However, it is possible that an app may stay suspended for a long time before a user goes back to it. Microsoft states:
Data or network connections could become stale and may need to be refreshed when your app resumes. When a user brings your app back to the foreground, your app receives a resuming event. You can refresh the app content and reconnect network resources when your app receives this event.
The highly technical blog entry also offers up some more tips for app makers, including resetting the app to its default view if it hasn't been used in a long time and making sure that the most important data in your Metro app is saved when it goes into its suspended lifecycle.

Gerow, unaffiliated, has 3-prong strategy
Jana Bingham Gerow hopes voters will tie something purple — something equal parts red, equal parts blue — to support her candidacy for the District 1 seat on the Mesa County Commission.
"I chose the color purple because it's a combination of red and blue, and I think we should work together and not against each other," she recently told an audience, clad as she usually is to reinforce the idea.
"I am sort of that open-minded, see both sides of the issue, kind of person," she said on another occasion.
Residents of District 1 who value the qualities of scrutiny and analysis will find their ideal candidate in Gerow. She's comfortable on both sides of an issue, and often painstakingly takes the time to consider multiple facets of a problem.
A sound-bite candidate, she is not. But unaffiliated — and untangled by any political party or philosophy — she is.
"I chose to run as an unaffiliated candidate because I believe that the position of county commissioner should be unaffiliated — you don't vote on legislation, you mainly handle the business of Mesa County," she told a crowd of young professionals.
"I see the job kind of like that of a CEO of a major corporation, because (commissioners) manage a budget of $155 million-plus, they have 23 departments and over 900 employees — so it's a very broad job."
Her professional experience is in construction management and land planning. She's handled multimillion dollar projects, including serving as manager of construction and maintenance for City Market. One of her most notable projects was the City Market store in Vail, which also wrapped in issues like transportation and affordable housing due to the scope of the project.
"It's amazing how similar that is to what I see a county commissioner doing. With the Vail store, it was a whole community," Gerow told The Daily Sentinel.
She targets three areas on her website, visionsformesacounty.com: jobs and education, homes for those without and integrity in government.
More specifically, Gerow believes that close community cooperation can yield high-paying jobs, drawing the best students to the area. She believes the government can foster an environment to build affordable housing "for those willing to work for it," and her "vision as Mesa County commissioner is making sure I listen to the people of the community and try and help to hopefully lift their vision."
Water is central to Gerow's thinking because of threats to area rivers. But creating policy requires balance when you are trying to attract new business to the region.
"We can't go out and look for jobs and bring industry in if we don't have the water to provide to them," she said.
Perception is a theme Gerow has sounded in many of her appearances, and it's clear she believes a bit of a mind-shift would be helpful in attracting new industries, people and, perhaps, values to the area.
"I feel that we've gotten way too much into the argument, about whether it's Republican or Democrat. The issues are what's important," she said.

I have utilized the XDA Developers site for years and just now joining so im new around here.
I'm giving my touchpad to my grandfather. My dad has a touchpad, so I want to leave webos on it since I think it would be more user friendly for him. Problem is it wasn't updated when it was supposed to be july of 2013. Doing what HP says and everyone else on the internet says about changing the date and downloading from the update still fails regardless of what I do. So is there a custom Webos without the fail app download issue? If there is can someone send me in the direction of where I can find out how to put it on the touchpad?
I have utilized the XDA Developers site for years and just now joining so im new around here.
I am having the same problem. Had to Doctor and Lost Certificate after a CM10 Flash that went bad.. I have tried for days with no luck. Many say that Installing the App Update via Preware Works but not for me.
Many Thanks to you Roland I am a big Fan of yours with all your tips and videos but I am completely Stumped with this one.
It worked for me the secret is re-flashing App update.
change date
load hp app catalog
re-flash hp app update
edit: I forgot to add change date back after app catalog update.
re-edit: I also forgot to add, You will need Web OS 3.5 installed first. The only way I could install it was, doing an AcmeUninstaller2 which removed Android then installing from Web OS.

Johannesburg -
BRRRR! - the cold weather is coming.
The SA Weather Bureau (SAWB) has indicated that the entire country will be gripped by a cold front this week. And, starting on Monday, the cold spell reaches Gauteng.
Gautengers have been warned to brace themselves for early morning temperatures of minus 6ºC in some places for the next two days.
The SAWB has forecast temperatures of minus 6ºC for Vereeniging, rising to 11; minus 2ºC in Joburg, rising to 14; and 0ºC in Pretoria, rising to 17 on Wednesday.
Temperatures could, in fact, be lower, said forecaster Dipuo Tawana.
"We expected a minus 4ºC over Vereeniging, but, in fact, temperatures dropped to minus 6.3ºC."
The good news is that the cold is not expected to last long. From Thursday, temperatures will start rising slowly.
"The cold front has already exited the country. We are experiencing a high-pressure system over the country, which is bringing in the cold in some parts.
"Cold temperatures are expected in Mpumalanga… and Limpopo, and will improve slightly on Thursday."
On Wednesday, residents can expect minimum temperatures of 1ºC and a maximum of 18°C.
Tawana said minimum temperatures would increase to 2ºC on Thursday, with a maximum of 17ºC.
"On Friday, the weather will be sunny with a possible minimum of 2ºC and maximum of 18ºC," she said.
No rain is expected this week.
The good news is that no rain is expected in the Western Cape until Friday - but the bad is that minimum temperatures in the city will be pretty minimal.
Monday morning's low was a chilly 6ºC, and Wednesday should be 7ºC, but the afternoons will get warmer, with 14ºC on Tuesday, 16ºC on Wednesday, and an almost tropical 19ºC on Thursday.
Monday's minimum also dropped to 6ºC, and in some areas there was a hoar frost, with ice crystals forming on car windscreens and grass blades. This type of frost forms on cold, clear nights when heat is lost into the open sky, causing objects to become colder than the surrounding air.
Forecaster Stella Nake, from the Cape Town Weather Office, said rain was expected on Friday afternoon into early Saturday. There might even be snow.
In KwaZulu-Natal snow "hunters" were left disappointed on Monday after an early morning snowfall proved to be only a short flurry and a false alarm.
Rob Ansell of the website www.snowreport.co.za said there were "unfortunately" only quick, light flurries in the province yesterday as temperatures plummeted.
He said, however, that his team expected more snow in the Midlands in areas like Fort Nottingham, Impendle, Mooi River, Rosetta and in the mountains "on Sani Pass and into Lesotho regions such as Mokhotlong".
Nottingham Road was abuzz with an influx of visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the snow yesterday. But most were left disappointed.
Ansell said members of his team were in the Midlands on Hastings farm between Dargle and Impendle from Sunday evening, waiting for the snow to arrive.
"We woke up to a light dusting. It was truly a beautiful sight. The falls were very light, and did not settle for long at all," he said.
Gordon and Elenore Wilson travelled all the way from Hermanus in the Western Cape in the hope of watching snow fall.
Gordon said they were not disappointed: "You can't be disappointed with nature and the weather. I've seen snow before, but I've never seen it fall."
A manager at Nottingham Road Hotel said he had been inundated with about 70 calls by noon on Monday of people from as far as Durban enquiring if it there was any snow.
Nonjabulo Madlala said: "We are used to this type of weather, but not at this time of year. It's usually August," she said.
She said the hotel was fully booked.

Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in /home/katbla12/multipleverses.com/wp-content/plugins/addthis/addthis_social_widget.php on line 1240
By Erika Blake
Multipleverses was invited on a conference call with Sam Witwer about his role "Aidan" on SyFy's "Being Human." Here are the highlights from call. You'll be able to read more of the transcripts in Issue four of OSCK magazine, coming out next month.
You can find HD "Being Human" Episode Screencaps HERE.
Question: In what ways are you most like and least like your character of Aidan?
Sam: Well, I'm a little bit more of a goofball than Aidan is I think. He's a little bit more cool and collected and I supposed that comes from him being a little bit older than I am. He's 250-something years old, so I'll give him that. We look a lot alike. I'll give him that as well. We virtually look exactly alike, me and Aidan. We're about the same height. He's a little bit faster of a runner than I am, but I also play video games better than he does. So, there's a lot of similarities, a lot of differences.
No, but really I think what I related to in this character was the fact that he was a man of conscience and I loved that. I really loved that at the core of this guy who's been really a terrible person for the past 200 years there was a conscience at the center of all that, and I liked how the script dealt with those issues.
Question: How do you feel Aidan stacks up against the other vampires on TV and in film right now?
Sam: Oh, you're going to be very disappointed in me, sir. I have not seen the other vampires. I don't know what they're doing. I haven't seen any of the shows. I haven't seen any of the Twilight Series. In fact, someone said, "Hey, so you guys sparkle?" And I'm like, "What?" "Do you sparkle?" I'm like, "What do you mean, do we break into dance numbers and use jazz hands? What do you mean?" And they're like, "No, like the vampires in Twilight." And I'm like, "I don't know what that is."
So, really if – I don't if I have an original take in it. I heard from a few people that I kind of do, but I'm just kind of crossing my fingers and doing my own kind of unpolluted take on the vampire thing. Because really the last real exposure I've had to it is Béla Lugosi from back in the day, and that's a movie I've seen a lot of.
Question: How does Aidan walk around in the daylight?
Sam: Well, it's uncomfortable, but it doesn't necessarily harm him. The way that we play it out is, and I think I actually – I talked to Sally about this in, I think, Episode 3, but I – the vampire is just like every living thing on this planet have evolved that early on they may have been Nosferatu or one of those early on visions of the horrible pharaoh vampire, and as they've gone on they've adapted.
And so yes, they can actually walk around, but they ?don't necessarily like it, which is why you see our vampires wear sunglasses a lot in the daytime. It isn't that we're trying to look like we're in the Matrix, it's – we actually need them.
Question: Going back to the kind of character that Aidan is, I love that he's such a good guy, and (well) what's happening – everything with Josh and Ray, I just wanted to know where you see their friendship. If it's coming out of – just unscathed, and how is it that he's so easy going with werewolves because he brings Ray to Josh at the hospital. So, it says a lot about Aidan's character that he's just such an outstanding kind of guy. So…
Sam: Yes, you're going to see – later in the season you're going to see context for how vampires truly feel about werewolves. You're going to see a lot more of that.
It's one of the things we sometimes don't necessarily explain a lot of things. And I actually like that about the show that there are very specific rules about how all of this stuff works and we all talked about it on the set, but then we don't necessarily go out of our way to have an exposition paragraph, you know?
In movies, you'll see two guys and they're like, "We've been best friends for ten years and you're telling me that," you're just like, "Why would you say that? You don't have to – we know. You've been best friends for ten years. Get on with it," you know? And we don't actually have a lot of those moments where we explain what everyone knows.
And therefore, the audience has some room to interpret, which I think is wonderful, but as for Ray and Josh, and does our relationship get frayed by the Ray thing, it does a little bit. And in fact, it gets frayed by a lot of things throughout the season. It's because Ray is telling Josh some truths actually about the nature of vampires, and while Aidan is an outstanding guy, he is in fact one of these people that fit into the category that Ray is describing and he still has a lot of these traits.
I mean, if you watch closely there are certain moments where you can see Aidan – like for example, in the beginning of, I guess it's Episode 4, there's a moment where Aidan is in the bookstore and he sees a – the woman who's ringing people up and there's a moment where he's working out how he's going to do this. How he's going to lure her, how he's going to this, how he's going to that, and how he's going to dispose of the body and all of that. He's working it out like a chess game.
And it – only at the last minute does he go, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not – no, I'm – that's – no, that's not what I'm – I'm trying to do the opposite." But, he's being doing these things for 200 years and the very nature of our vampires are to be deceptive, not necessarily to each other, but to everyone else to hide what they are, to hide what they're feeling, to hide everything.
And so, Aidan lies a lot to his roommates, all the time in fact. Throughout our entire season he is constantly lying to just about everyone, and you only see what's really going on with that character when he's alone or when he's with certain company. And what I love about that is that it really reinforces the metaphor that we make no secret that we're actually discussing. No secret about the fact that we are discussing addition, we are discussion a man who is battling drug addiction and trying to stay clean.
And bringing Josh's friendship with Josh is a friendship of desperation. He has no one who could support him except this guy. And so they move in so that they can kind of watchdog each other, but the fact of the matter is he still doesn't share with Josh half of what's going on. And I think that people could definitely relate to that. Something that's going on in their life that they feel like they can really turn – they can't turn to anyone for it, and they keep that secret and they hate themselves for it.
And I really love – the entire – our whole mythology for vampires is all based around that metaphor, everything that we've done. In fact, even the casting of vampires has been about that. There's a scene in a later episode where there's a big gathering of vampires; giant. And we looked around, me and Mark Pellegrino, and we're just applauding their casting choices because it wasn't a bunch of dudes and women in like black leather pants and long trench coats.
It was a woman who a mother, and then a guy who looked like a school teacher, and a kid who looked like just an average college student. It was just people. It was just normal people and the point being that any one of these people could have a problem with addiction and hide it from the people that they're closest with. I thought that was fascinating.
Question: The whole thing with Rebecca to me was really reminiscent sort of like of a Sid and Nancy-type kind of relationship where they're failing and struggling .. they're blood addicts, I was wondering, in preparing for the role for Aidan did you look a lot at – into like that addiction and like how did you prepare for playing that kind of a thing?
Sam: That's exactly – that's all we talked about. Me and Sarah Allen that's all we ever discussed was drug parallels and addiction and all that, and that was what the producers wanted. So, everyone is on the same page about this metaphor. We even blocked the scenes and shot them in such a way that they were suggestive of other things. I'll just kind of leave it at that.
But, because there's definitely all kinds of stuff going on there, including a very strong sexual element, the tragedy of what happens in that episode and what happens in the episodes following that episode is that she's sincere in her intention to beat this and so is Aidan. But, they both have the same problem, and therefore maybe they're not the best people to support each other because if one goes down the other one's going down with them. And the other problem that Rebecca has is that she is also surrounded by – because one of the things that people maybe didn't necessarily synapse with is that the first episode takes place over a month. Our Episode 1 is one month. When we catch up with Rebecca she was turned almost immediately after she died, right?
And then, for a month she was forced into this really messed up culture and society where if you look at it from a genre point of view she was forced to murder a lot of people and she was forced to take part in a lot of really messed up things, so she's out of her mind by the time that we catch up with her in Episode 2.
But, from a metaphor point, she was thrown into this drug thing and has been heavily involved in it for a month straight before Aidan can have any influence. So, Bishop isn't working on her hardcore, and of course he's working on her because he knows that this could be a lure to bring Aidan back into the fold. So…
Question: Aidan is a dark guy and we're – you know, he's lying to his roommates and his friendship with Josh is strained, you know, upcoming episode is all about some pretty big reveals for Sally and Josh do you think that, you know, your characters are going to become more bonded because of this or more torn apart because of the revelations?
Sam: You see both. You see both, absolutely. They rely on each other more while at the same time certain revelations and I think I'm not spoiling too much by saying that there are moments where Josh and Sally pickup on the fact that Aidan is not being honest with them, and that doesn't do much for their relationship.
I think one of the themes of the first season though is how these three people resolve their relationships with each other, in terms of working together or apart, because as you see we are quite a bit apart in these early episodes. We are kind of wandering off on our own and exploring these problems and in most cases, in fact maybe in all cases, failing miserably.
And I think one of themes is, are these people going to learn to start working together on this or are they just going to continue to flounder out in there – out in the wilderness by themselves?
Question: I like the way that even though Aidan's got his own issues, he's kind of mentoring his younger roommates, with getting them assimilated with their new lives. I was wondering if you could talk to us a bit about his relationship with both Josh and Sally?
Sam: Yes, we'll you're dead on. He's kind of the anchor in a weird way, which is funny because he's also in many ways the most out of control. He tries to keep that away from them. With Josh, yes, he is kind of an older brother. He's constantly trying to calm that guy down and it's not like that their personalities are inherently compatible. In fact, as much as I love Sam Huntington, I think I played Aidan most of the time just that he's starting to learn to find humor and pleasure in the way Josh is.
Whereas, I think for probably the years beforehand it was severely annoying to him and irritating and really hard to deal with. And actually, we do have, I believe coming up, provided it doesn't get cut from the episode, some flashbacks where we see them early on in their relationship, and it's not necessarily exactly the same thing.
But yes, it is definitely an older brother, younger brother thing and Aidan is trying to impart pieces of wisdom and knowledge. But, we have to remember that everything that Aidan knows about werewolves is colored from the fact that he's probably killed a few in his time, and he hasn't necessarily had a warm relationship with them.
Sally is interesting because I kind of – the way I conceive it is not just younger sister, but kind of a daughter in a weird way, because after all Aidan is an old, old man. I mean, he comes off as a young man by design. We – that me and Mark Pellegrino discussed a lot that these characters should blend into whatever time period that they're in. And if he appears to be 25 in 2011, then he's a twenty-first century 20-something, but in the 50's, he should come off as a 50's 20-something.
But in any case, there is somewhere between an older brother and a father thing with Sally. And for that reason, I found it interesting that Aidan reveals a little bit more to her than he does to Josh. He'll actually give her pieces. He'll never give her a full picture, but he'll give her pieces of what's actually happening with him, and actually every now and then discuss certain things and share certain things that he – we just don't see him share with Josh. And I find that really very, very interesting.
But, he'd like to help both of them, but at the same time he realizes he himself needs maybe more help than either one of them. Anyway…
Question: How difficult is it when you're working with Meaghan to remember that, because she's a ghost, not to touch her?
Sam: Very difficult. It's very tough. I think for the most part we stayed with that, but sometimes you completely forget and they had very strict – they had all kinds of things. They had people – they had like the DP, for example, watching over me to make sure that I don't stand in direct sunlight because that would be uncomfortable for me. They had people watching the whole Sally, touching thing.
They were very, very serious about this. And then you got us goofballs on the set sitting next to each other maybe sitting just too close and, you know, brushing up against each other and ruining brilliant takes; that type of thing.
Question: For me, one of the best parts of the show Being Human is the dynamic between Aidan and Bishop. We're seeing the plot lines keeping pretty parallel in spirit to the original series, will this relationship break course and go somewhere different?
Sam: I don't know, because I haven't seen the original series. So I have no idea. What I do know is that that relationship is one of my favorite things in our series. And we get to see them in different time periods and learn that they're perspective and their opinions have been very, very different at times in history.
We – even though there's so much animosity between these two and things get really ugly, I think you get a sense that these two guys love each other and have been through a lot together. There's 200 years of a relationship there and a very intense friendship, and Mark and I talked about that a lot. Mark talked about a lot of interesting things. He kind of looked at Aidan as a wayward son. I looked at Mark as my ex-drug buddy who I can't hang out with anymore.
There was a lot of stuff. He said something very interesting also that Aidan – because Aidan is really disrespectful to Bishop and what we will learn as the series goes on is that that's even more serious than we're thinking. You – there's a code of honor with these vampires and Bishop being Aidan's maker, Aidan is really pushing it, really, really pushing it. And we may not realize that at first, but he's really just asking for it and Bishop kind of gives him a wide berth; kind of just lets him do it.
And there are other vampires that question Bishop's wisdom on that. And one of the things that Mark Pellegrino said to me, which I thought was fascinating, he said, "I feel that even though Aidan is weakened, and he's not drinking live blood so he's not as fast, not as strong, not on his game, he's completely off balance, and one would think he's less of a threat."
But, I think Bishop looks at him as even more of a threat, and then so why Bishop gives him a wide berth, but at the same time keeps tabs on him constantly because if Aidan ever decided, this is – as Pellegrino says, "If Aidan ever decided to go against Bishop that would be a major liability to him." That Bishop really feels like what he's trying to accomplish would work so much better if Bishop – if Aidan was on his side. However, if Aidan does turn on him and actually tries to undo what's happening that is a major, major threat that Aidan, even at his weakest, is ridiculously dangerous.
And that's one of the things that I also enjoy about the Aidan character, which we have not quite seen yet, but we will in the season, Aidan was a lunatic. Aidan was out of his mind. He – Aidan was sociopathic, psychopathic, he was beyond what we – you'd consider sane. And we get to see moments of that breakthrough where our nice Aidan does something that you just don't see coming, and it's really, really kind of hard to watch.
And that's one of the things that we really like to play with on the series.

Dear Wendy: "My Boyfriend Is Addicted To Porn"
My boyfriend of two years has an addiction to porn. We've never watched together, and I actually just found out about it three months ago. He was viewing it on my computer and I confronted him about it. I had previously mentioned that porn is not something to ever be viewed on my computer (I have two young girls at home). He was actually replacing our sex life with satisfying his own needs. Things got better … for awhile, but the last two weeks I've noticed it on the computer again. Different sites, but still tons of pics of naked girls. I finally confronted him, again. I'm hurt and confused, and seriously sick of living like a nun. This addiction stems from years of being alone. As much as I understand, what's left for me to do? Can we make it better or is this a lost cause? — Getting Nun
Yeah, it's a lost cause. Why? Because by continuing to date a man whose utter lack of regard for you is so palpable, you're not only risking your young daughters' physical and mental well-being, you're teaching them that being with a man, at whatever the cost, is worth more than their own self-respect. Assuming your boyfriend were even interested in recovery, why on earth would you drag you and your children through that long road with him? You aren't married to the guy, you don't have that long of a history with him, your sex life sucks, and I'm assuming that your daughters were fathered by another man, so what's the point? And make no mistake about it, addiction affects everyone involved — significant others, children of significant others, co-workers, family. Your daughters, regardless of their age and the amount of time they spend with your boyfriend, can feel the effect of his addiction.
What I find most disturbing — and telling — is that he's watching the porn on your computer in your home that you share with your two young girls. Does he not have a computer of his own? Does he not have an apartment of his own? That he didn't even bother to clear his history makes me think he wanted to be caught. Maybe he wants you to dump him, perhaps he's hoping you'll give him the nudge he needs to seek help, or maybe he just gets a sadistic kick out of blatantly disrespecting you in your own home. Whatever the reason, it seems clear that he's got major baggage and you've got your hands too full already raising two little girls to help him unload it. What's it going to take for your to dump this guy? Do you and your daughters need to walk in on him jerking off to porn in your living room? Cut your losses now and count your blessings things didn't get more serious with him before you learned of his addiction.

Employment laws at both the federal and state level protect employee's rights throughout their employment. Here is some useful information for employees in Colorado.
Pre-Employment Rights
Employers may not use or mention discriminatory factors such as age, sex or race in job advertisements, interviews or final hiring decisions. Other off-limits interview topics include:
- Your marital status
- Whether you have or plan to have children
- Your place of birth
Colorado Wage Laws
The state's wage laws provide better protection for most employees than the federal Fair Labor Standards Act does, so employers must follow state laws in most cases. These laws provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to the minimum wage and define overtime as working more than 12 hours in one day or 40 hours per week.
Safe Work Environment
Federal and state laws require work environments be free from known safety hazards. If you point out unsafe conditions, your employer may not retaliate by, for example, firing or demoting you.
Workers' Compensation for On-the-Job Injuries
Workers' compensation is a mandatory insurance that all companies with even one employee (with rare exceptions) must carry on their workers. It pays medical bills and other injury-related expenses, as well as disability, if you are hurt at work. Find out more about on-the-job injury leave information.
Your Right to Time Off
You have the right to time off without jeopardizing your job in certain situations:
- Federal Family Medical Leave Act—Most employees in companies with at least 50 employees may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to take care of their own or a family member's serious illness.
- State leave laws—You may also have the right to limited time off for adopting a child, after a domestic abuse incident and to attend your children's school meetings.
- Voting—The state allows up to two hours off work to vote, with a few limitations.
Workplace Harassment
You are entitled to be free from unwanted and persistent physical or verbal behavior directed at you because of discriminatory factors such as sex (either sexual or non-sexual in nature), age or disability. When it creates a hostile work environment, this behavior is called harassment and is illegal.
Leaving Your Job
Colorado is an "employment-at-will" state, meaning that you or your employer may end your employment at any time for almost any reason, unless you have a contract. In general, employers are limited to non-discriminatory reasons and may not fire you for things such as as age, religion or sexual orientation.
You are legally entitled to your final paycheck, no matter how you leave, and it must include any unused accrued vacation days.
Post-Employment Benefits
You may be eligible for certain benefits even after leaving your job:
- Unemployment benefits—If your job loss was not your fault, or if you quit with good cause, you may be entitled to cash payments for a specified period of time.
- COBRA—This federal law covers most employees in companies with at least 20 workers. It allows you to keep your group medical insurance for up to 18 months.
Talk with an Employment Lawyer
It's not always clear whether federal or state laws apply to your situation. If you have a specific question, a Colorado employment lawyer can help.

Wake school bus driver resigns after being charged with assaulting students
Posted June 22, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — A Wake County school bus driver has resigned after allegedly assaulting two children on her bus, the Wake County Public School System confirmed Monday.
Jacqueline Harris Dennis, 50, of 5608 Hilltop Road in Fuquay-Varina, was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of assault on a child under 12. Dennis was released from the Wake County jail after posting a $15,000 bond.
Dennis is accused of punching a 7-year-old boy in the stomach, twisting his arm, grabbing the back of his neck and shoving him off her school bus, according to an arrest warrant. She is also accused of shoving an 8-year-old boy into the metal frame of the school bus window. The incidents happened on May 12, according to the warrant.
Dennis was hired as a school bus driver in October 2012 and was placed on non-driving duty on May 13, the school system said. She resigned from her job on June 19, three days after a warrant for her arrest was issued.
Dennis could not be reached for comment Monday night.

Another whopper of a release from this Canadian project, again with a set of three lengthy slabs of pulsing, droning material that walks a fine line between ambient, drone, and doom. For those unaware, the band is headed by Aidan Baker, perhaps better known for his dark ambient experimentalism (here handling guitar, drum machines, vocals, and flute), joined on this outing by Leah Buckareff on bass and vocals. There are definitely some similarities between his solo work and the compositions explored by Nadja, perhaps more so on this particular outing, but overall these tracks are still structured more like songs, so despite a good level of ambience this is definitely an entity all its own. "Clinodactyl" tops 21 minutes and takes the first nine to build in with pulsing drones and gradually increasing feedback/electronics with a very sparse percussive backing maintaining a sense of actual tempo and rhythm behind a melodic bass loop. Once the volume reaches its peak the drums launch into a more concrete beat that pounds away as the guitars and bass surge forth into a strangely abstract yet recognizable arrangement that creates a wall of sound that very curiously follows a melody line, though the sounds are so fused together that there's not much definition. Unfortunately that's both good and bad, because the way the melodic progression is abstracted is actually fucking awesome, but the actual sound quality feels too raw and overpowering on some level. For example, the drum machines seem to sound pretty natural and effective for the most part (granted they are too loud in the mix most of the time), but once everything thickens up to full volume the louder drum hits sound distorted, like they're caving in on themselves. And that may well be intentional, but since there's no real breathing room to be found it sounds dirty and accidental instead, and there are certain facets of the guitars/bass that sound a little unnatural as well. And once the lulled singing vocals kick in, you really have a hard time making out anything other than some of the snare drums and cymbals, because the mix feels so muddy and messy that a ton of detail is getting lost. "Autosomal" opens similarly from a percussive standpoint, but the dingy basslines are given more room to be heard, with only fleeting electronics cascading across the lower levels of the mix. At 10 minutes this track is much shorter than the other two, so it builds in a little faster with whispered and manipulated vocals that pan back and forth while fading in and out over a thundering drum pattern and noisy vibrations, but things still feel very gradual. This piece actually has an industrial sort of angle to it, though not very directly, and I actually think it's a little more effective as a whole, though I do miss the powerful melodies of the opener. Those melodies return in subdued form at the start of 20+ minute closer "Ossification", softly introducing the piece and increasing in volume as they begin to fade back against a churn of light electronics. Drums finally enter around 11 minutes in, but this instrumental piece is fairly subdued and consistent from start to finish, making it my favorite track overall since it's the one segment that plays through without a hitch. The CD-R comes in a slim DVD case with minimal abstract artwork and clean, consistent text. It's fairly raw and basic, but were the print quality stronger it would look nice and effective for what the music offers. The lyrics are inspired by a rare genetic disorder called Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, in which muscles and other connective tissue turn into bone and cause eventual paralysis. "Every little touch, glance, word, sinks into my skin, burrows within my flesh and digs its claws in me…" For the most part this is a stronger release than "Skin Turns to Glass". The drum programming has certainly progressed, and the overall quality of the compositions is more emotional and moving on this outing. So… I'm definitely intrigued by this project and will want to hear more, but there is still room for improvement. I actually think there's an absolute mountain of potential residing within this very work, but the recording quality definitely needs to take a step up in order to allow tracks like "Clinodactyl" to be as monumental as possible. I could see myself being very much blown away by Nadja in the future, so I'm hoping that's what will happen, because I feel pretty strongly that there are a lot of strong building blocks in place on this record.

Plus, there was the Sports front on Sunday, seen above. That's a pretty high mission.
Still, if you've listened to D.C. sports talk radio over the last few weeks, you couldn't help but notice that there have been a lot of ads for training camp coverage. Ads that are promising lots and lots and lots of RGIII coverage. All day.
Get ready, everyone. It's coming.
Here's the ESPN 980 ad, which goes like this:
"With a new era under center for the burgundy and gold, the hope has never been higher in D.C. Get all the latest from what Robert Griffin III is doing out at Redskins Park....The RGIII ERA is here, and ESPN 980's your RGIII destination."
And here's the 106.7 The Fan ad, which goes like this:
"106.7 The Fan is your number one station for Redskins training camp coverage. Keep it locked on The Fan for around the clock coverage, and the most Redskins talk in town....And we're following Robert Griffin III all day, starting with D.C.'s only morning sports show, the Sports Junkies. You won't find more Redskins coverage anywhere. Your flagship station for D.C. sports and Redskins training camp news all day!"

black panthers exsist in pa.pgc will probably argue this statement but several people have seen them. i have their tracks on camcorder. if anyone else has seen them please let me know. no, these people were sober when they saw this animal.
Return to The Taxidermy Industry Category Menu
What's the track difference between a cougar a huge bobcat and a blk panther.What proof is a track on a camcorder with out the maker ?..Just curious.Earl
I don't doubt you might have a panther (mountain lion) But a melanistic puma, panther, Mountain lion, Cougar. Has never existed. There has never been on shot, caught, trapped, photographed, filmed, or born in captivity. When you talk about black panthers what people are speaking of are melanistic Leopards or jaguars.
When I worked at the museum I had several people tell me the had seen one of those Florida Black panthers. 99% of them I think were lying but the one that were sincere I think probably saw something they thought was a panther at dusk. I myself have seen lots of animals at dusk that looked black but where not, thing just look that way at dusk.
The other thing is that a lot of people Me included see and animal they don't recognize and your brain assumes it is something else. For example on my first trip to Namibia I saw my first wild cheetah. The first thing that popped in to my mind was wolf! Then I shook my head and realized there are no wolfs in Namibia and realized it was a cheetah I was looking at.
At the Museum I can't tell you how many reports of Dead on the road Panthers, black panthers, monkeys, and even lions we had come in. We even had a report of a Pegasus HA! I do have to say though this was south Florida and we actually did pick up off the road 2 Ververt monkeys and one African lion that were road kill. Only in Florida.
Hope this helps, Michael Vaden
I've never seen the wind but I know it exists. I'd NEVER say never in this world. I don't recall any albino cougars as well, but simple genetics tells us that it's POSSIBLE. If albinism is possible, melanism is simply the opposite end of the geneticism.
When did they put fence around Florida? What would keep these animals from spreading? My Deisel Tachnology teaches has seen them twice. Once on his farm and another crossing the highway. This is in Georgia. If they are in Georgia whats keeping them from moving farther?
MichelleW / Michelle's Taxidermy
With a good black leather and hair dye, we can make any Mtn. Lion a "black panther."
P.S. Never say Never
God Bless
...had two Black Panthers steal my radio outta my Vette back in the 60"s...
There are those who believe there are Panthers/Cougars behind every tree in Pennsylvania, and there are those who don't think any wild one exists in the Commonwealth. The new Harpers, April 2004, has an article by a writer from Philadelphia who met with PA cat hunters, people from the Eastern Cougar group, a former biologist from the Florida Panther project, and Smithsonian Mammalogist, and others concerning the "wild cougars" in Pennsylvania and neighboring states. I spent a good part of a day last week with the writer who is beginning research on Akeley and Taxidermy for future articles and a possible book. The Harpers' article is an entertaining read but I would suggest you have a dictionary with you to understand the big words.
It all boils down to faith. If you believe it, no one will convince you otherwise, but there is no real scientific evidence of breeding populations. The Cougar believers are in general not much different than those that believe in Space ships and Aliens around us. They believe there is a conspiracy of the various Game Departments in Eastern states to suppress the evidence. Probably with Black Helicopters.
Thanks, Old Man! Enjoyed the site and articles!
There are people that say the same thing here. But the expernashon is when the US forces left Australia thay left there mascots(serposely black panthers) here, I think there drawing a long bow, but the mith has go on for years, things that go bump in the dark hay.
I too spoke to that crackpot from the eastern cougar group, I thought I was in the X-files. I guess if you want something really really bad, you can finally just make it up! Thats the read I got anyway. I will always say that most of those few cat sightings are captive reared animals that escaped or were released privately...Hey, let me know more about the Akeley stuff, dont forget hes my neighbor!
As always here on the Upper and Lower 40!Things come around and leave viable signs of the uncommon.Being observant,you always question what you see or try to document the fact!Had lots of Real nice photos of the Big Cat behind the bush and it was a real unusual!Also 3 more sessions of it being photo captive!The real clincher is the Diner guest for the evening of Chicken on the grill, stepped on the tapes and camera and ruined all the documented evidence!Dang that big no mannered Sasqautch living on the upper 2 above 40's!He has not been back since and he did crap in the pool!I still sleep with one eye open! I hope the creature would quite the never ending vocal duplicate of the Yetti!This goes on at intervals but never when some really need to hear it!This big monster must have a night vision scope! When all investigation is gone the sucker whines, yowls, and is still using the pool as a litter box!He will not upset trash cans and it good about that!Must be 8 ft tall and big prints in the mud!When we gave him beer and wine at some of the cook outs there were several sh..t faced impressions and and a elbow or 2 in the wet clay! Hope you all can get your own in the yard!Right now if the bad big boy stays away,will give chance to the Real Deal!We got some spooky Space creatures lurking about!They are small and do not crap in the pool!Really sleeping with 1 eye open!(lol)Well I was out last night watching all the little owls eating deer mice and I saw?Well I bored you enough?Next post will fill you in!Thank you!Richie.Yes we are talking about Pa.Wildlife!
We entertain dozens of reports of black panthers where I live as well, but never get any proof. But I feel now that I mnow what's going on with these sightings. This past January, while on my trapline one morning, I was looking over an empty fired trap. A hundred yards south of me was another set. I rest trap one and got on my Quad and started it when a black cat stood up where trap #2 was at. At least, to my eyes, and thru my binos, it looked to be a black feral housecat. Damn! I casually drove toward it and it wasn't until I was at about twenty yards that I realized it was a bobcat, a rather sizeable male - 29#, who became agitated and aroused, piloerecting his hair when he heard me start the 4 wheeler. At that distance, I misjudged his size relative to his surroundings, and his hair color patterns were indiscernable. I've killed a bunch of bobcats, but this one sure fooled me, and I suspect that this kinda thing happens a lot.
