A fundamentally new approach to the design of the mute.
'e-BrassIV Trumpet' was created by carrying out a thorough investigation of the ideal
acoustical design of something we call the total "Instrument," comprising the trumpet, a
mouthpiece, and finally the mute. This fundamentally new design approach allows the
e-Brass' to be a complete portable soundproof studio and also allows for the trumpet to
resonate naturally. e-BrassIV quite simply becomes a part of the instrument while
competing practice/silent mutes just kill the sound.

In case you missed it: Our Wedding, Mykonos, Paros, & Santorini
Our last stop on our honeymoon was Athens. We took a small plane from Santorini to the Athens airport and then jumped on the Metro into to the city. We stayed only steps away from the Promenade and Parthenon!
Our first night we had dinner at Daphne's, an amazing romantic garden restaurant in the heart of Plaka!
I had the Moussaka, a traditional Greek dish consisting of layered eggplant, ground beef, egg custard, and tomato sauce – kind of like a lasagna!
The next morning we hopped on a double-decker tour bus to see the city! The whole thing was very touristy, but it was a fun way to both get oriented and see a lot of the city, as we only had one full day in Athens. We made several stops around Athens including Parliament and the National Gardens where we saw the changing of the guards.
The Panathenaic Stadium – the athletic stadium that hosted the first Olympic Games in 1896. It was reconstructed from the ancient stadium where the athletic games were held in honor of goddess Athena.
Next stop, the New Acropolis Museum – a museum built in 2009 to house every archeological artifact found on the Acropolis. Many parts of the museum have glass floors where visitors can see the continued archeological excavations going on below. The top floor of the museum was easily the standout of the whole thing. It houses the friezes that surrounded the Parthenon. To accurately display the artwork, the floor is built to the same dimensions as the real deal, and is even angled from the rest of the museum to match the orientation of the Parthenon.
View of the Parthenon from the New Acropolis Museum. If you planning a trip to Greece I would highly recommend this museum; we really enjoyed it!
We stopped for lunch and coffee at the museum's café. I got a Cappuccino Freddo, an iced cappuccino with sugar and cold frothed milk on top. Everyone in Greece seemed to be drinking these so I had to get one of my own!
After the museum we hiked up the Acropolis to see the Parthenon up close!
On the way up we saw the Theatre of Dionysus, one of the earliest preserved open-air theatres in Athens that was used for festivals in honor of the god Dionysus.
We could see the whole city of Athens from atop the Acropolis!
The Parthenon – We finally made it up to the ancient temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena.
The construction of the Parthenon began in 447 BC, was completed in 432 BC and is considered to be the most important surviving building of Classical Greece. With its decorative sculptures and incredible pillars, the Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy.
Other the years the Parthenon has survived years of destruction and wear and tear. The scaffolding currently surrounding the Parthenon is evidence of continued excavation and preservation. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.
From the height of the Acropolis we could also see what remains of the Temple of Zeus. Build between 472 and 456 BC, this ancient temple was built in honor of Greek god Zeus.
After a long day of sight-seeing we ate dinner at a restaurant with a rooftop view of the Parthenon at night!
We spent two nights in Athens and then headed back to the airport to catch our flight home to Chicago. After an amazing 12 days island hopping in Greece we were ready to come home!

Most of us have seen the plethora of debt consolidation ads on television. There is a lot of competition in the debt consolidation industry because unfortunately, lots of people are struggling financially and these businesses provide much needed financial relief. Mortgages, car loans, credit cards; people can acquire loans from a huge variety of lenders for almost anything nowadays. The dilemma is that all these loans are difficult to manage and if you fall behind in your monthly repayments, you can find yourself in a lot of trouble.
The idea behind debt consolidation is that you can take all of your existing debts together and consolidate them into one, easy to manage loan that is easier and gives you a much clearer understanding of your financial future. For many people, there are a number of advantages in consolidating your debts, and this article will examine debt consolidation in detail and the benefits they provide to give you a better understanding if debt consolidation is a good option for your financial position.
The Basics
Debt consolidation enables you to settle all your current debts with a new loan that generally has different (and in many cases more enticing) interest rates and terms. There are a range of reasons why people use debt consolidation services.
High-Interest Rates
All loans have differing interest rates and terms, however, credit cards likely have the highest interest rates of all loans. Even though credit card companies often have a no interest period of about 1 or 2 months, the interest rates after this time can soar up to 25% or higher. If you end up in a position where you're paying 25% interest on your credit card loans, it's more than likely that your debt will cultivate much faster than you're able to pay it off. Commonly, debt consolidation can provide lower interest rates and better terms, which can save you a great deal of money in the long-run.
Too much confusion with multiple loans.
When you have a wide range of debts with varying interest rates and minimum repayments that are due at different times, there's no doubt that it can be difficult to manage and can become confusing at times. This increases the probability of overlooking a repayment which can give you a bad credit rating. Debt consolidation substantially helps in this situation by merging all of your debts into one which is significantly easier to manage and gives you a clearer picture of when you'll be debt free.
High Monthly Repayments
When people are facing multiple debts, it's very difficult to manage your cash flow as a result of the high minimum repayments required for each debt. Further to this, different debts have different repayment dates and this can cause people to struggle just to make ends meet. If you miss a repayment because you just don't have the money, your interest rates are likely to be increased, you can get a poor credit rating, and your financial scenario can go south rather quickly. Debt consolidation loans provide one repayment every month, and you can negotiate your monthly repayment amounts based upon the length of time you wish your loan to be.
Despite the benefits, if you have an interest in consolidating your debts, it's essential that you do plenty of research to find the best debt consolidation interest rates and terms and conditions. You'll uncover a large range of debt consolidation companies, some are good, some are bad, and some are straight-out predatory. To begin with, you'll need to pick a debt consolidation company that has lower interest rates and fees than all of your current debts. You'll also want to take a look at the terms and conditions meticulously. Certain consolidation loans can be secured against your home or other assets, and you may be required to pay additional fees such as application fees, legal fees, stamp duty and valuation. The truth is, there is plenty of research that needs to be done before you can figure out if debt consolidation is the right option for you.
As you can clearly see, there are a range of benefits associated with debt consolidation for individuals that are struggling financially. Lower interest rates and fees, lower monthly repayments, and less confusion with multiple debts can save you a huge amount of money in the long-run, and it's most probably better for your emotional well-being too. This article isn't intended to persuade you to consolidate your debts, as it all depends upon your financial state of affairs. Due to the complexity and the numerous variables to consider, it's highly recommended that you seek professional advice so you can at least get an idea of what option is best for you if you're experiencing financial problems. In some situations, filing for bankruptcy is a better alternative, so before you make any decisions about your financial future, get in touch with Bankruptcy Experts Newcastle on 1300 795 575 or visit their website for additional information: www.bankruptcyexpertsnewcastle.com.au

We have always been a fan of The Black Swan, as well as the rest of Lo & Behold's venues. Choosing The Black Swan for our Singapore wedding celebration was our first choice. We are partial to the 1920-30s style of the setting. We wanted a "party" vibe for the Sg reception, given that we have had our "proper" wedding in London. We also wanted to quickly transit to an After Party, so The Powder Room upstairs as an asset to the venue really. Everything went smoothly from the planning, tasting, setting up and actual evening. Carol and the entire team were excellent in every way. They were all very accommodating with all our requests and were so patient with us, sussing out the details, leading up to the event. Carol and team were also very invested in the event, judging from they way they gushing at wedding decor and favours. They've even cleverly used leftover decor from us, and adapted the styling upstairs at The Powder Room. There was great camaraderie among us all, lots of photos with the team too. Many guests gushed over the venue, and especially how the food was top notched. Typically, food for weddings tend to have a "catering" approach, but every morsel served was consistent with Black Swan's standard of great food quality, like on any other nights when the food was prepared individually for you! The service was excellent too. We particularly appreciated how the team communicated so well among themselves, something that was often overlooked at most wedding dinners. The bar staff were fun and generous at the After Party up at The Powder Room. Special thanks to Gerardo and team. We'll be back with our many other celebrations for sure. Our Sg reception was definitely a memorable one, and we have got photographic proof if you need them!

Abundance on Trial: The Cultural Significance of 'Sustainability'
Every now and then a single word emerges from our common parlance to achieve the status of a master term. Such a word gives expression to discrete needs and purposes, but it also provides a perspicuous lens through which to view the ethical disposition and emotional temper of a culture at a particular moment in time. The argument of this essay is that "sustainability" has become just such a word for our moment, deserving closer attention than it has so far received.
This essay seeks to address a set of neglected questions about the cultural significance of sustainability's rise to a master term in our society and to distill its deeper moral and ethical salience from the wide spectrum of its connotations and applications. We will see how varying concerns over what Americans (and humans more generally) are not presently sustaining reflect a deep-seated anxiety that goes to the very heart of our most basic assumptions about what it means and takes to thrive in the contemporary world. Specifically, we will see how such assumptions are themselves connected to growing uncertainty over whether the relationship between humans and nature is one primarily defined by scarcity or abundance. In light of these anxieties and uncertainties, we will also see how the rise of sustainability to a master term represents accumulating disappointment and disillusionment with those key terms once believed constitutive of modern progress—terms like "development," "improvement," and "growth." The cultural significance of sustainability, in other words, is related to the mounting scrutiny and doubt now facing the master terms of modern progress.

some people are fighting back against the SJW (Social Justice Warriors) blackmail and intimidation.
Like the Christian baker in Colorado.
and Gibson's Bakery in Ohio
first the punch line and then some background
after a three year legal battle a common sense jury of their peers awarded the bakery 11 million in actual damages and 33 million in punitive damages showing that the deplorables are fed up. I say bravo and let's have some more !
Gibsons Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio, has been in business since 1885.
It sells a variety of baked goods along with wine and other foods.
On November 9, 2016, Gibsons employees noticed what they thought was a person shoplifting two bottles of wine hidden in his jacket. That alleged shoplifter was a black Oberlin College student. When they attempted to stop and photograph him, they were attacked by several other people accompanying the student.
The police were called. The Oberlin town police department has posted the Incident Report online, reflecting the arrest of the alleged shoplifter and two others involved in the scuffle. Here is the first paragraph of the police report:
On Wednesday, November 9, 2016, at approximately 4:58pm, officers responded to the area of Gibsons Bakery in reference to a report of a fight in progress. As officers were responding to the area, dispatch advised that this was involving an alleged theft complaint. Dispatch advised that Allyn Gibson, who is an employee of Gibsons Bakery, was attempting to apprehend a subject who Allyn had witnessed attempt to steal several items. As officers approached the area, Sgt. Ortiz, and Officer Feuerstein both stated they observed Allyn Gibson lying on his back with several individuals kneeling over him punching and kicking him with several other individuals in the immediate area. Officers attempted to gain control of the situation and were met several times with resistance from several different individuals. After a few minutes officers were finally able to take one female into custody and calm the incident and attempt to figure out what had taken place.
Hold Gibsons accountable and Gibsons is racist, chanted a throng of about 150 Thursday outside the West College Street bakery.
Oberlin College students, bearing signs saying No justice, no peace and End racial profiling, protested for hours and called for a boycott of the 131-year-old business. While they took care not to block the entrance, they did hurl expletives at the few customers who entered.
This is a racist establishment with a long account of racial profiling and discrimination, said literature provided by OC dean of students Meredith Raimondo, who stood with the crowd .
Trey James, a worker at Gibsons, said the 19-year-old was actually 17 and had attempted to shoplift alcohol. He denied the choking allegation, saying he was an eye-witness to the Tappan Square portion of the incident.
When you shoplift you get arrested. It doesnt matter what your sexual orientation is or your religion or your ethnicity. If you shoplift, you get busted, he said.
Oberlin College hit with maximum PUNITIVE DAMAGES (capped at $22 million by law) in Gibsons Bakery case
Daniel McGraw, our reporter in the courtroom, reports that in addition to the $11.2 million compensatory damages awarded last Friday, the jury awarded a total of $33 million in punitive damages,

This Week:
Neill Blomkamp's Chappie adds Sigourney Weaver; a feature film based on It Takes a Thief is in the works; the Star Blazers adaptation has set Christopher McQuarrie to direct; Robert Zemeckis will direct The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane; and Victor Rasuk joins Fifty Shades of Grey as Jose.
Chappie, the latest film from sci-fi director Neill Blomkamp (Elysium), has begun filming in Johannesburg.
This casting news comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Sigourney Weaver has been added to the film's cast. It's unclear, however, what role the actress might take on at this time.
Weaver joins a cast that already includes Hugh Jackman, Dev Patel, and frequent Blomkamp collaborator Sharlto Copley, who will provide the voice of the robot, Chappie. The story follows the titular character as he tries to escape from two South African gangsters that want to use him for nefarious purposes.
Chappie is slated to hit theaters on March 27, 2015.

Universal has announced plans to turn the '70s TV series It Takes a Thief into a feature film, and have hired Greg Russo to pen the script.
Although most won't recognize Russo's name, he has several scripts in various stages of development. Arguably, his most popular is for a film called Heatseekers, which Michael Bay is producing.
It Takes a Thief starred Robert Wagner as a CIA analyst who works in tandem with a brilliant thief, and is considered one of the better espionage series of that time. As far as a feature film is concerned, it's certainly a concept audiences have seen before – most recently in the USA series White Collar – but one that could be interesting given the right cast.

Skydance Productions has hired Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) to write and direct their forthcoming adaptation of the anime Star Blazers.
Star Blazers has been in development for several years now, but finally looks to be getting on track. We had first heard about the project back in 2011 when, coincidentally, McQuarrie had been hired to pen the script.
Anime fans might better recognize Star Blazers by its Japanese name, Space Battleship Yamato. The series, in part, followed the crew of the spaceship Argo (formerly the battleship Yamato) as they travel across space to find a device that will restore the Earth's atmosphere. Skydance is hoping that this first film will kick off another successful franchise for their studio.

Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis has signed on to helm an adaptation of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
The film, based on the Kate DiCamillo novel, will follow a porcelain rabbit living in the 1930s that goes through several owners after spending 297 days on the ocean floor. Edward begins the story a very vain character, but changes as his journey goes along.
It's unclear at this point how Zemeckis will approach the project, whether he will opt for full performance-capture or not, but it's safe to say there will be a heavy CG component. Before tackling Edward Tulane, however, Zemeckis is slated to direct Marwencol, which is based on the 2010 documentary of the same name.
Source: Variety
Victor Rasuk has joined the cast of Fifty Shades of Grey as the character of Jose.
Rasuk inherits one of the bigger roles in the film, aside from those of Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson). Jose is a photographer friend of Anastasia's who would like to be more than that. This, of course, puts him in direct conflict with Christian's relationship with Anastasia. (Remember this is Twilight fan fiction, so Bella and Edward need that Jacob third wheel...)
Some will recognize Rasuk for his breakout role in the film Raising Victor Vargas or from the HBO series How to Make it in America. However, given the high profile of Fifty Shades of Grey it's safe to say this will be his biggest role to date.

Ukrainian women are as gorgeous as you can find anywhere else but that's not even their best qualities. Ukrainian women are smart, strong, and so independent that they make everything look easy.
I've never seen anywhere else where pregnant women become stronger, more beautiful, and even funnier as they near delivery. shareit https://get-vidmateapk.com

I am Heather – wife to Kevin – and mom to 3 daughters, Norah, Lucy, and Daphne. We are a Christ-believing, homeschooling family. In my free time (what is that?), I enjoy running, biking, cooking/baking, reading, sewing, etc. I have a degree in early childhood education and worked as a preschool teacher before the girls were born (that seems like forever ago). Now, outside of the normal homeschooling, house cleaning, laundry washing, dinner cooking day, I work part-time as a personal trainer, Boot Camp Challenge instructor, and kickboxing instructor.
I have slacked off on my blogging in the last couple of years. I am hoping a change to WordPress will be enough to get me blogging again! We will see!

This BTN was about the alphabet history and where it originated from. Three facts I got from the video were the English alphabet originated from Phoenician alphabet around 3500 years ago. Then the surrounding counties around the Mediterranean Sea started to use it too. Each country had to change it a little as their language needed more sounds. The Phoenician alphabet started with the letters B,G,D,H,W,Z,H,T,Y,K,L,M,N,S,P,S,Q,R,Š. The Greeks then added the vowels and the English added J and Y.
Two understandings I got were that the alphabet has been around for a long time and that we didn't invent it. A question I have after watching it was why did the Phoenician's have an alphabet before the other countries?

This just in from Waterville Valley Resort. The latest ENewsletter asks why you should watch Waterville Valley this season.
Waterville Valley Resort isn't just making a few annual upgrades. What began as an expansion onto a new peak last fall has snowballed into a massive resort-wide, multi-year improvement plan, and that's only part of the story.
This summer saw the launch of Phase II, a $7.5 million investment which will move the entire resort to the next level with renovations, upgrades, and innovations to snowmaking, terrain, lifts, activities, the base lodge, and the entire guest experience. New improvements have already begun debuting for the 2017/18 season and continuous development means more upgrades will roll out throughout the winter. Progressing to the Next Level isn't just a tagline and it doesn't stop at Phase II infrastructure improvements. Also new this season are innovations at the forefront of RFID technology, specialty instruction, and new world-class events. The monumental 2017/18 season kicks off on November 24th, and if Waterville Valley Resort isn't on your radar, read on for all of the details of what's new this season…
Momentum for revitalization began in the Fall of 2016 when ground broke on Green Peak, the first major expansion in more than 30 years and the largest project of its kind on the East Coast. With construction beginning in late August, work continued throughout the season to open the first trails in January 2017 and the new lift in February. A total of seven of the 10 new trails opened with natural snow and strategic grooming, just six months after the first trees were felled. In the spring, the new trails also received their official names, nominated by the public to honor significant people in the resort's history. After a busy summer of construction, 18,000 feet of snowmaking pipe and new snowmaking equipment has been installed on all but nine acres of Green Peak, bringing the resort's total snowmaking coverage to 97%. Additional blasting, grubbing, and trail grading will make it possible for all 10 beginner, intermediate, and expert trails to open this season as weather permits. One of the new expert trails also received some extra attention this summer making it the first ever custom built freeride slope with natural terrain features enhanced and reinforced specifically for a freeride event. New Hampshire's first IFSA Freeride Event will be held at Waterville Valley Resort on Jan. 27, 2018.
While momentum began with a terrain expansion, the $7.5 million investment dubbed "Phase II" is a resort-wide improvement plan with most new upgrades occurring on the main peak, Mt. Tecumseh. $1.15 million alone has gone to the purchase of 516 new Sufag high-efficiency tower and fan guns through a partnership with the French MND Group. Guests may notice the most dramatic increase in snowmaking capacity on the expert Sunnyside trails, True Grit and Lower Bobby's. The birthplace of freestyle skiing, the historic runs received upgraded equipment plus the addition of tower guns to both sides of the trails in anticipation of returning this year's U.S. National Moguls Championships to the East Coast. Resort-wide upgrades will increase efficiency and reduce energy costs and improvement efforts will continue through next year.
After receiving approval from the USDA Forest Service in mid-September, construction began immediately to install a new T-Bar lift on the summit's High Country terrain. Trees were cleared and concrete footings poured as Fall came to a close, allowing for installation to continue over snow this season. The existing 1966 double chairlift will continue to operate for its final season until construction is complete, anticipated for Winter 2018. The original double chair will then be removed next summer. T-Bar surface lifts, once popular but since replaced by high-speed chairlifts, are making a comeback in popularity in New England. Exposed terrain susceptible to wind and weather is remedied with surface lifts that provide protection from the elements for more consistent operation and warmer skiers that can stay on their feet. The new High Country T-Bar will also provide slightly more elevation and skiable acreage, a 2.5 times faster ascent, and more convenient access to the lower terminal from the unload of other summit lifts.
While T-Bar lifts are still in demand for unique terrain needs, one of the last J-Bar lifts in New England has been removed from the Pasture, a learning area adjacent to the Base Lodge, to make way for two new Conveyor Lifts. The LST surface lifts are not only much more accessible to new skiers and especially snowboarders, but are also high-efficiency and energy saving. Terrain grading and earthwork prepared the trail for the two consecutive lifts, creating lower and upper access points to three distinct learning areas and more flat space conducive to instruction and early learning. Improvements to the learning area set the foundation for a base lodge expansion in 2018 to relocate the Rental Shop and Snowsports for direct access and better flow from arrival to getting out on the snow for the first time.
Also setting the foundation for future development is the completion of renovations to the first level of the Base Lodge. Major construction relocated the ticket and pass office with new front-facing ticket windows at the lodge entrance and ticket desk and pass office centrally located inside on the first floor. The Waterville Valley Adaptive Snowsports program was also moved to a redesigned headquarters with improved accessibility and function. Other additions include an improved changing and storage area, directional signage, and aesthetic enhancements. The extensive first floor renovations are just 23% of the final project but are crucial to building the foundation for more convenient traffic flow and access to amenities. A 12,000 sq. ft. expansion, set to begin in summer 2018, will include a new rental shop to complete the convenient pathway from arrival onto snow. The expansion will also add more lounge and recreation space, with a focus on mountain views and amenities, and extend this season's new aesthetic improvements and design throughout the lodge.
Make Your Mountain Bigger with new resources to expand abilities and experience for every age, level, and discipline. This season, as Waterville Valley Resort is Progressing to the Next Level, so are its guests. All-Mountain Progressive Programming will help anyone improve, try new things, or remove the barrier of uncertainty or fear. Educational signage will identify specialty terrain, levels of difficulty, and tips to get anyone started in the right direction and trying something new. Furthermore, specialty clinics offered in the four disciplines of parks, moguls, glades, and racing will offer new skills and terrain options to the intermediate or advanced skier or rider's repertoire. Terrain features and clinics will continue to roll out and vary throughout the season for continuous progression, challenge, and most importantly, fun!
Developed at Waterville Valley Resort by the Affinity team, led by Chris Bradford, the new Gateless RFID is the first system of its kind to implement passive RFID technology. That means no more barcode scanning and no gate readers, just direct-to-lift access for less waiting in lines and more skiing and riding. Debuting for the 2017/18 season, the proprietary innovation will revolutionize how skiers spend their day on the slopes. This season will focus on making lift access effortless and will also give guests the ability to reload passes at home and bypass the ticket office. Also currently in development, an integrated mobile app will give users the option to track personal stats and progress. Future applications of the technology could improve safety and security, allow social engagement and communication, improve access to resources and deals, and give direct access to all resort amenities and conveniences. Skiers and riders at Waterville Valley Resort this season will be the first to experience the forefront of innovations to lift access and ticketing.
Waterville Valley Resort has a long history of commitment to world-class athletes and innovation. Known as the birthplace of freestyle skiing, the first formal freestyle instruction program formed at Waterville Valley Resort in 1969. By the next year resort founder, Tom Corcoran, and editor of Skiing Magazine, Doug Pfeiffer, had organized the first National Open Championships of Freestyle Skiing on the resort's Sunnyside trails. This spring, the nation's best freestyle skiers will again compete on the historic slopes during the 2018 U.S. National Freestyle Championships. After five years on the West Coast, the moguls events will return to the East on March 20-24, 2018. Preceding the March National Championships and February's returning Toyota Revolution Tour, another new event will echo a history of innovation. During construction on new Green Peak trails this summer, which all focus on existing terrain strengths and natural features with an air of old-school New England style skiing, one expert trail stood out to a couple of freeskiers. So, instead of removing natural features, they were enhanced and reinforced to create the first custom-built freeride slope. The IFSA U12 Junior Regional Freeride Open on January 27, 2018, will be the first in New Hampshire and one of only two IFSA events hosted on the East Coast this season.
All I can say is WOW! My family has been skiing Waterville Valley since the early 1970s. I haven't seen this much energy, excitement and enthusiasm for a number of years. Congratulations to the Waterville Valley Resort team and owners for leading us to the #NextLevel!

That raises the question, what are the best iPhone accessories available on the market?
The answer to this question is likely going to be different for all people. That's because everyone lives a different lifestyle and is going to use their phone for different purposes. Some common things that the majority of people are going to find useful are items like higher-quality ear phones, a sturdy case, a stylus pen and a car mount.

The first thing that most people are probably going to want to invest in is a case that is going to withstand drops and other types of common problems that can damage your phone.

A favorite summer visitor for many, the Eastern Bluebird is more common in the eastern part of the state. They historically have used old woodpecker holes and other cavities in trees for nesting. However, they will readily nest in man-made bluebird boxes, and have greatly benefited from the increased placement of these boxes, especially as European Starlings have become aggressive competitors for natural tree cavities for nesting.

I am just tidying up the above and noticed something that I'm not sure is important or not. On the claimform they state:- Claimant purchased the balance on the account on 06/10/2016. The letters I received were all dated 24th November 2016 Once I'm ready I assume it's self explanatory entering the information on the moneyclaim site? I've looked around on here and can't see any particular instructions so I'm assuming it's a copy/paste of the defence above? Thanks
By honeybee13 · PostedWhy do you need to write what down please? AoS is acknowledgement of service via the MCOL website as per dx's instructions. CPR 31:14 is a legal document you need to send to the other side, asking for information. HB
By StressBall · PostedDX - looked back to my old threads on here - the Ordinary Cause was, indeed, thru Nolans, on behalf of Cabot. Nolan's requested a Joint Motion for the dismissal of this action by way of Decree of Absolvitor, in favour me (Defender), with no expenses due to or by either party As they couldn't supply any paperwork, my lawyer suggested (I managed to get Legal Aid for this) that unless they dismiss they'd be due me money, and they agreed. This happened around the end of June/beginning of July 2016. What should I do with them now?
Hi ok thanks for replies. I had trouble finding how to reply on my phone and don't have a computer, so am at the library which is pathetic and closes at 5pm so hard to get there Name of the Claimant ? Excel Parking claimants Solicitors: BW Legal Date of issue – don't have on me but it was in Sept 2018 (previous claim from 2017 resurrected) * Court date is 17th Dec -Next Tue Date of issue ^^^^^ NOTE : WHEN CALCULATING THE TIMELINE - PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE DATE ON THE CLAIMFORM IS ONE IN THE COUNT [example: Issue date 01.03.2014 + 19 days (5 days for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = 19.03.2014 + 14 days to submit defence = 02.04.2014] = 33 days in total What is the claim for – PCN Not displaying a valid ticket for the private car park 468 Bury New Road, Prestwich I have copied their WS below with map location, signs, etc **IMPORTANT** WE NEED TO SEE THE FULL POC MINUS YOUR PERS DETAILS>> NOT AN ABRIDGED VERSION**THIS MUST INCLUDE THE LOCATION What is the value of the claim? original ticket was £100 plus additional fees so its at £255 Has the claim been issued by the Private parking Company or was the PCN assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim ? Original Excel Parking Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Not sure what this is? I WILL TRY TO ATTACH THEIR WS - having trouble Do I just scan it in and attach it? In the mean time my outline defence is: No locus standi as have not produce a signed contract Under CPR 31.14 that the claim be struck out on the grounds of no locus *I requested the contract and they did not provide it initially, however in their WS they have produced a signed contract from the pension fund who own the land I was not the driver of the car. I have no evidence of the driver's identity. This dates back many years (2015) and difficult to remember who could have been driving *their WS states I only said I was not the driver at a late stage and when filing an amended defence, and appears I developed a defence to avoid liability. I have stated this from the start. Also that I alleged no correspondence, and the onus is on the driver to update DVLA. I did update DVLA, but I moved numerous times due to domestic abuse. This was in my set aside Also question how I would be able to comment on the signs if not the driver of the vehicle, as she would not have first hand knowledge, therefore it is the claimants position that she is being disingenuous I put Excel to strict proof that any contract can exist *Their WS states it falls foul of the unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations 1999(UTCCR 1999). Claims the regulations don't apply? keeper of the vehicle - as the protocols of the POFA have not been followed so no keeper liability created. DVLA data was supplied for the single strict purpose of enquiring who was driving, not for bringing a case against me years later Signage not a transparent contract insufficient in terms of their distribution wording and lighting hence incapable of binding the driver, which distinguishes this case from the ParkingEye Ltd v. Beavis case Sporadic and illegible charge not prominent nor large lettering site/entrance signage breach of the BPA Code of Practice. The entrance sign is on the left side so not the drivers side. The signs have no mention of any debt collection additional charge The signage was not lit and not transparent contrary to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. The entrance sign refers to the terms and conditions on another sign The signs did not have planning permission under the Town and County planning. I have an email stating there was no planning permission from the council. * Their WS says they do not need planning permission by being an approved operator of the trade association, and it is not for the county court to determine planning permission. The signs do not fall under deemed consent. * Their WS states my defence appears to be cut and pasted from websites relating to parking whose aim is to assist motorists on contesting PCN's. Large portions are non sensical and irrelevant to the claim Unacceptable as the defendant has signed a statement of truth whilst clearly not being the defendants knowledge THANKS FOR YOUR HELP x You mention I can get it struck out as they haven't sent me a bundle? They have sent me their WS online, no hard copies but I'd prefer not to go if possible
Redacted and merged to one PDF Attached is my witness statement and supporting evidence that I am going to give to the court, the court have said they will not even look at it until the day of the hearing, so I am OK to send it to them only a few days before the hearing. Do you think it is worth me sending this to BW Legal, in the hope they will drop the case before it goes to court? Or am I better not showing my hand to them, so they cannot amend their evidence based on what I have stated? If anyone would be kind enough to read through my statement and give me their thoughts, that would be very much appreciated. ilovepdf_merged.pdf

I heard a quote recently that made me smile:
"The grass on the other side of the fence might be greener but it still has to be mowed!"
I love this! It sums up a lot of my sentiments on homeschooling and life in general, lately. In order to examine it, I think it's important to note that we didn't "jump ship" because the grass on our side of the fence WASN'T green. It was. It was very green and we liked it! We miss our friends from our former school a lot. I mean A WHOLE LOT. The only issue with the grass on the other side of our fence, was that our family never had any time to enjoy it.
So if anyone were to ask me, "is the grass is greener for you now?" Well, it would be a complicated answer, because in many ways we feel that it is. We have more opportunities to enjoy spending time as a family. However, I would never want the illusion to be that homeschooling is the 'cure for all that ails the modern family (over) schedule . . .' because it isn't! The grass on this side of the fence does indeed require mowing. Lots and LOTS of mowing. But the truth is, I feel like a greater number of families shy away from homeschooling because they are far more in tune with the amount of mowing required (or their perception of the mowing schedule) than they are with how green the grass is.
In some ways it's like deciding to avoid having babies because you don't want to change all those diapers (I know, there I go with the baby analogies again! I've had 3, what can I say?) – few people would really do that!! Why? Because they see the bigger picture. They are excited about the little LIFE they could bring into the world! Diapers pale into insignificance beside that, right? But it's still the reason I'll spend more time blogging about the grass and less time blogging about the mowing. Just don't lose sight of the fact that it's as much of a surprise to me as it is to anyone else!
I may not have shied away from having babies, but I came perilously close to ignoring all my instincts and going with the grass I already knew. Sticking with the safe, green grass on my current side of the fence. I'm happy we didn't. I'm happy to be mowing the grass on this side of the fence for now. But it doesn't mean I don't occasionally look over the fence at my peeps over the there and wonder how they're enjoying their grass. I miss them. But we're happy.
**OH, and my caveat for today is this: I realize this isn't a "one size fits most" situation because no matter how much you like green grass or are willing to mow it, homeschooling is not a choice that everyone is able to make for reasons ranging from employment constraints to paralyzing fear of failure and everything in between. I'm just holding out the truth as we're seeing it for the first time from this side . . .

John Nam
|John Nam
|Noted Subjects:
|Current Collegiate Team
|Past Collegiate Teams
|High School Team
|Middle School Team
John Nam was once a quizbowl player for Maryland. He is probably best known for founding ACF along with Carol Guthrie and Ramesh Kannappan, for playing quizbowl for a really, really long time.
The Maryland Members and Alumni Page contains the following information about John Nam:
"One of the three founders of ACF (along with Carol Guthrie and Ramesh), John was playing quiz bowl for Maryland when this year's freshmen were still crawling. He has some unfortunate habits, among them a gambling problem and an unequalled propensity for trash talk. In fact, John boasts that it was his trash talk that led Ramesh to study and become good. Sometimes this trash talk is crude, as in this example from a euchre game at Michelle's place: "You suck a lot, Colvin. I'm going to make you my woman." Sometimes it is foolhardy, as in this example from halftime when John was up 15 points against an unnamed team at Maryland Masters: "Ha! See? We're going to treat you like the bitch-dogs that you are!" The other team proceeded to answer 9 of the last 10 tossups."

Smoking is one of the most difficult vice to let go. It is because it is difficult to drop the habit that techniques and devices were created to help smokers in their fight to become smoke-free. It includes the use of smoking aids like: nicotine patches, artificial cigarettes, nicotine gums that help smokers get through nicotine cravings. Some techniques use the help of relaxation exercises like deep-breathing exercises or yoga to help calm a person down during moments of restlessness when withdrawal symptoms attack. And some people find it easy to just undergo hypnosis to get rid of their smoking
A Guide to Hypnosis
I'm sure you've heard the jokes and stories before about hypnosis and hypnotherapy turning people into chickens, people not being come out of trance, and unscrupulous hypnotists controlling their 'vulnerable' patients. However there are even more people who are clear that it has helped change their lives, helping them succeed in their goals. Millions of people have been helped with issues such as weight loss, quitting smoking, other addictions, confidence, phobias, stress, success, IBS, and more. Unfortunately these myths have caused a lot of people who could be helped by this powerful and safe therapeutic tool because they are too afraid to use it. In this post, I

Everybody wants in on South By Southwest Music, the annual convention and showcase that runs through Sunday in Austin. The vast majority of the more than 1,200 acts performing on, it seems, every level surface in Austin — clubs, outdoor stages, warehouses, ballrooms, garages, backyards, a bridge — are still hopefuls, trying to reach beyond a local following or a do-it-yourself Web presence. Official SXSW showcases are surrounded by unofficial ones with yet more performers. (Hail The Austin Chronicle and sched.org, which have — bless them — collated both official and peripheral events. ) Amid this avalanche of music, there's still some chance to get discovered or discover something by serendipity.
But at the 21st-century SXSW, the new contends with the established. At a time when musicians are learning to consider themselves not only as artists but as brands, SXSW has become the place to renew, relaunch or reconfigure those brands. That's because, in a way, you don't have to be here (for anything but the food). Nearly every event that matters to anyone is recorded and webcast, from YouTube to NPR. And all that media attention — mea culpa — makes SXSW a good place to promote a comeback, a new album, a reunion, a remember-me moment. Reports from the South by Southwest conference and festival in Austin.
South by Southwest
So this year there are million-sellers alongside the zero-sellers. Bruce Springsteen is giving a keynote speech on Thursday — which is being webcast and broadcast on many public radio stations — and it's likely he'll play an unannounced gig somewhere to follow. Norah Jones is showing up with two bands: the Little Willies, her country-music covers band, as well as her own band, to play songs from her album due in May. 50 Cent has decided to join the repertory-album movement; tomorrow he's performing his entire 2003 album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," recorded 10 years ago; it will be broadcast live on the Fuse cable channel. A band that was a local legend in Austin in the 1990's, Cotton Mather, is reuniting.
Reports from the South by Southwest conference and festival in Austin.
And Fiona Apple, who hasn't released an album since 2005 and has one due in late June, is re-emerging on Wednesday at SXSW with material from an album due in June. She's keeping it local, though, appearing at an NPR event but not allowing it to be broadcast. I'll be there.
My own SXSW schedule is a long and impossible wishlist; I'm concentrating on bands new to me while trying to balance them with big newsworthy events. I'm mixing new and known today, heading for Santigold, Ms. Apple, a Kenyan band named Sauti Sol, the songwriters Foy Vance, Mirel Wagner and Bahamas, the rapper 2 Chainz, perhaps Cotton Mather and a dozen more possibilities. But we'll see what happens in the fray. Naturally, I might miss a few bands. You're invited to fill in the record on Twitter, with the hashtag #mysxswreview.
An earlier version of this post misspelled the name of the band Sauti Sol.

Amanda Baron died in a boating accident on the Ohio River in 1953. Or, did she? While it was generally accepted that she had died when a coal barge rammed the pleasure boat she was sharing with her lover, her body was never found.
Travis Baron was an infant when his mother disappeared. After the accident and the subsequent publicity, Travis s father scoured the house of all evidence that Amanda Baron had ever lived, and her name was never to be uttered around him. Now in high school, Travis yearns to know more about his mother. With the help of his best friend, Mitch Malone, Travis begins a search for the truth about the mother he never knew. The two boys find an unlikely ally: an alcoholic former detective who served time for falsifying evidence. Although his reputation is in tatters, the information the detective provides about the death of Amanda Baron is indisputable and dangerous.
Nearly two decades after her death, Travis and Mitch piece together a puzzle lost to the dark waters of the Ohio River. They know how Amanda Baron died, and why. Now what do they do with the information?
