Remove Jav123 (Removal Instructions) - Easy Removal Guide
Jav123 – a browser hijacker that can make you watch porn even if you don't have such intention
Jav123 is a potentially dangerous piece of malware, which belongs to the category of browser hijackers. Cyber security experts warn that's not an ordinary potentially unwanted program (PUP) that seek to promote third-party services or expensive products. The Jav123 virus has been designed to promote adult content only regardless your age, gender or religion.
This tool is promoted via suspicious third-party apps offered on infamous third-party download sources. It may be represented as a useful Chrome extension or reliable Firefox add-on. Anyway, it will be marked as a default component and will be automatically installed unless you select Advanced installation option and unmark a tick marked alongside it.
As soon as the Jav123 extension is injected into a web browser, it initiates specific modifications on your computer to force using it daily[1]. By "force to use it daily" we mean that you may get the following ads:
- Adult-only videos and pictures;
- Violent games for grown-ups;
- Fake products or discounts;
- Dating sites, etc.
These ads are highly suspicious since there is no reliable information to identify their origins. They might be marked with "Delivered/Brought/Powered by Jav123". As we have already pointed out, the content of that the Jav123 virus delivers is exceptionally for adults, but clicking on them does not ask to confirm the age. What these intrusive ads does is redirect to misleading websites full of half-naked women. While some people might find such content attractive, we do not recommend clicking on those ads or clicking or staying on websites they redirect you to. Don't forget that some third-party websites may be illegal[2] and used for malware distribution of malspam.
Privacy Policy or Terms of Use links on the start page of this search engine should not be clicked as well. Instead of getting acquainted with the terms, you may be exposed to another website filled with adult content. That's yet another reason why Jav123 removal should not be postponed.
Jav123 virus cause unwanted redirects to adult-only websites and increases the risk of getting infected with other types of malware.
According to cyber security experts, this potentially unwanted program can use tracking cookies and pixels for a straightforward reason – to collect some pieces of information about you. While browsing history and your search queries are the primary targets, your surname, address, location, and even credentials can also be violated.
For many, non-personal information related to browsing habits does not seem important and they don't mind sharing it with third parties. However, we recommend keeping it for yourself. Beware that PUP developers may sell those details for criminals on the black market who may later initiate misleading advertising campaigns.
If you have noticed an excessive amount of intrusive ads on your web browser, check the system for malware and remove Jav123 if needed. Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego is a perfect tool to deal with browser hijackers since it will eliminate the potentially unwanted program automatically. Besides, Reimage will also check for corrupted registry entries or system files, which may cause system's slowdowns or crashes.
If you prefer manual Jav123 removal, you can find a comprehensive guide at the end of this article. Draw your attention to the fact that PUP removal consists of two parts – removal of PUP from Control Panel and elimination of browser's extensions from within the affected web browser.
Browser hijackers can sneak onto your computer without notice
While the contrivers are aware of the arbitrary activity their products perform, they bundle them with freeware to increase the number of people using it. Note that installers often advise to choose Quick or Recommended settings and they do not inform people about PUPs that are going to be installed alongside.
Therefore, avoid quick installation. If you don't have enough time to read the terms and Privacy Policy, then you'd better postpone the installation of a freeware for later. You should always pick Advanced or Custom installation settings and carefully look for boxes which are already pre-selected. Such offers might say something like "By clicking I agree to install XXX." Make sure to opt out of all similar proposals.
Additionally, it is wise to stay away from ads and other suspicious content promoted online. If you keep visiting unreliable websites, one of them might be programmed to start an automatic installation of high-risk computer threats. Thus, remember to use a powerful security software to protect not only your PC but valuable information as well.

Whiny Wednesday: When Baby's Not Ready To Wean
In case you missed this on my Instagram feed (@iheartheels) yesterday, here's baby L and her All-American girl look. 😉
She's a sweeeeeeet thing, y'all.
So much that she's pretty attached to me right now. I'm sorta dreading going to NY for fashion week in about five weeks because I know it's going to be hard on both of us. I know I'll have fun once I'm gone, but just thinking about it makes my stomach turn. I left little C for fashion week at nine months, but she's only going to be seven. And…she's still nursing.
Remember how I told you a few weeks ago I was nervous about what to do? I even posted on Instagram to get mom tips on how to save enough breastmilk to leave for her while I'm gone. I got soooo many amazing responses, so thank you.
At that time, I was EBF (exclusively breastfeeding). A few weeks ago, I finally (and through gritted teeth) gave her a few ounces of formula. Not because I wanted to, really. If I was going to pump enough to leave during NY, I had to. I just didn't have the supply (or honestly the energy…I would've been a crazy person) to feed and pump enough milk for three whole days. So, I gave her a 4-ounce formula bottle for a week, then added a second, and pumped and pumped. After a couple weeks, I had saved up enough milk to leave (accounting for two formula bottles and solids, which I'll introduce soon). Perfect.
So then I added yet another couple in the middle of the night and the morning, selfishly hoping that by adding more she'd sleep more…and maybe through the night! Pretty soon I'd work up to half formula, half breastmilk and if she continued to do ok, I'd just wean before my trip and not have to worry about dragging my pump along to NY or transitioning back when I returned. Guess what? It never felt right. And baby L? She didn't like that plan, either.
The more and more formula I added, the fussier (and gassier) she became. She didn't sleep as well at night or nap as well during the day. I switched formula not once, but twice and was beginning to stress out. I'd give her formula and she'd fuss through the whole bottle. Formula feeding was actually harder than breastfeeding. One night she cried so hard from tummy pains, so I rubbed her tummy and she completely stopped. It was like magic. Meanwhile, my stomach was in knots. Mom intuition kicked in. Ya know, the feeling I'd had all along. It just wasn't (and isn't) time for either of us to quit. Period.
So, what did I do? Well, for one, I never stopped pumping, so saved an entire month's worth of breastmilk. I added back two more nursing feeds (yes, so I get to feed her all night long again until she's ready to stop) and kept the other two formula feeds, but am now mixing them with half breastmilk. So essentially she's now only getting 4 oz of formula each day. Her tummy is worlds better, she's a much happier baby and I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing I've made the right choice for us.
Who knows if I'll make it very long after I return from NY. It might be time then. But right now just don't feel that way, and I'm glad I listened to baby L's cues.
Nursing is so individual to each mom and baby, that being in tune with each other is the most important thing. Besides, if you read my last post, these moments don't last long. And my pump can easily fit in my luggage. I'll just have to squeeze it in between shoe shopping. 😉

Watch the program intro:
Discover the 13 steps of this program:
Don't judge: make factual observations
Evaluations and judgements can often be counterproductive in the workplace. They may hurt your coworkers and do not necessarily help them to understand how they need to change. Marie Miyashiro explains why factual observations about your coworkers are much more helpful and how these observations, as well as a sense of curiosity, can contribute to the employees' productivity.
Connecting your emotions to your unmet needs
We usually try to ignore unpleasant emotions and feelings. But there is a virtue to listening to them as, by revealing some life-changing facts about us, they can be an amazing gift.
Practicing empathy
Empathy is something you can practise anywhere and with anyone. By doing so regularly you will become better at it, and you may well undergo a life-changing experience. Through the story of a war veteran she met on a plane, Marie Miyashiro reveals just how powerful the practice of empathy can be.
Empathy is a 2-way street
Contrary to what a lot of people may think, empathy is not just about listening to others. It's also about listening to yourself and sharing with others what is important to you.

Empathy is about taking risks and being honest
Empathy is not always about being nice and polite. It sometimes requires you to to share what matters to you and what will enable you to connect with the people around you. Marie Miyashiro reveals how to calculate these risks and what their potential benefits might be.
Empathy as an engagement tool
Empathy is not a just a soft skill. It's also a tool that you can use to engage and retain your employees. The more you see them as human beings rather than just members of staff, the more you will be able to find ways to increase their commitment.
Resolving conflicts through shared reality
What we identify as interpersonal conflicts in the workplace are often a symptom of more systemic issues. Marie Miyashiro explains how to resolve these issues by creating a shared reality; that is by connecting to the individual's needs as well as to those of the team and the organisation.
Accept your vulnerability when practising empathy
Empathy is a difficult skill. Don't try to be perfect. The most important thing is doing your best and making progress.

A performance review is an event that is dreaded by many employees and managers alike. Marie Miyashiro explains how to approach it with the right mindset to get the most out of the experience.
Using empathy when you give feedback
Feedback is vital to the successful performance of an individual or organization. Nevertheless, ensuring that feedback is constructive and useful can be a difficult art. Marie Miyashiro gives some key tips on how to ensure that the feedback you give is always effective.
Connection is the key to customer loyalty
Through the story of a wedding gift, Marie Miyashiro explains how connecting to your customers' feelings and needs can make a huge difference and in turn, can help to create customer loyalty.

Honeychop Horse Feeds are delighted to and have been accredited to the BETA UFAS NOPS code.
What does it stand for:
- BETA– British Equestrian Trade Association
- UFAS– Universal Feed Assurance Scheme
- NOPS– Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances:
What are NOPS:
NOPS are prohibited substances and defined as any substance that can 'exert an effect on a horse'
The main NOPS (and their source) are:-
- Caffeine (cacao, cocoa, coffee, tea)
- Theobromine (cacao)
- Theophylline (tea)
- Morphine (opium poppy)
- Hyoscine (nightshade, Datura)
- Hordenine (germinating barley)
- Atropine (nightshade)

Historically the main risks have been from caffeine and theobromine, but increasingly we see a risk from morphine associated with white poppy cultivation in the UK for medicine production.
What does it mean:
The BETA UFAS NOPS Code requires us to evaluate the risk of NOPS contamination during every step of the sourcing, storage, transport and manufacturing processes of our products. Optimum measures are in place to minimise the risk of NOPS contamination.
Conforming to the Code allows us to use the BETA UFAS NOPS logo on our products and reassures our customers of the strict manufacturing practise that is in place for every step of the process for all of our products. Only the highest standard of ingredients are sourced from approved suppliers, with full traceability – from the packaged product right back to the field where it was grown.
All raw materials are risk assessed before use, and no ingredients that knowingly contain a prohibited substance are used. We are regularly audited for quality assurance and make sure testing of raw materials and finished goods are carried out.
The Code has been endorsed by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and the National Trainers Federation (NTF)

Handfasting Cord and Bag
As part of officiating my first Wedding, I had the joy of creating a Handfasting Cord to help the couple tie the knot, so to speak. Their colors were Harvest tones with an emphasis on Orange, and they wanted to use elements of Astrology in their ceremony. Armed with those guidelines, I designed a hand-tied, hand-dyed cord using Korean Maedeup and Celtic Knotwork using Orange and Deep Red to match the brides' astrology.
It took several samples to get the orange right. I wanted a slightly reddish orange that was bright but not neon or hazard-tape orange. The key turned out to be using extra dye and letting the cording soak longer. With the red, I had to be careful not to let the color get too dark.
The bag is green with an orange-red-yellow lining. I used Susan Briscoe's CHimchua Bag design sized down a little so the cord wasn't lost in it. I chose Kikko, or Tortoise Shell pattern, for the Sashiko design as a wish for long life together. I braided four strands of the extra cording I'd dyed to create the drawstring for the bag. That was one of the benefits of overestimating the amount of cording I'd need.
The little booklet of cards I included talks about the symbolism in the cord and in various elements of its design. My honey used laser printer business cards and our printer to create it for me. I wove the last of the extra cording I had from the Handfasting Cord into a little strap using Dorae Maedeup and a Reef Knot to secure the cards together into a simple booklet that fits neatly into the bag.
Handmade and specially chosen charms add an extra layer of meaning to the cord. These were purchased in Florence (pewter charms) and hand-cut from Responsibly Wildcrafted Madrone from the Willamette Valley (wooden charms).

"Customer service shouldn't just be a department, it should be the entire company."
~Tony Hsieh
The new owners have made an excellent shop even better!
This is THE PLACE to go for auto repair in Danbury and THE GUYS to call if you need a tow.
Great place! Guys at the front always polite and explain what's wrong with your car and what your options are. Even a simple oil change they update we on what the did. Not once have I ever had an issue with a mechanic here. Always nice and have always fixed any issues ok any of my cars. I recommend these guys to everyone. Thanks Dustin Mazzucco
"Great Service! Nice waiting room! Friendly staff! "
I failed emission and they got me on the next day for repairs and they even retested my car and it passed! The waiting room was newly remodeled, the staff is friendly, and the price was fair!
My vehicle needed extensive repair and the staff at Federal Auto Service and Towing was very thorough inspecting and determining what needed to be done. During this the staff found the vehicle had frame damage and not worth the money to fix. Being a woman, most auto repair shops try to over charge or charge for unneeded repairs, but Federal Auto was straight forward regarding the situation, helping me avoid potentially expensive, irreparable repairs. Although I had to junk the vehicle, I very much appreciated their honesty and fair treatment. Thank you Federal Auto Service and Towing.
I've always been going to these guys for about 20 years they just recently switched over ownership and I haven't noticed a change everything is still as great as it always was they even drop my car off and picked it up these guys are wonderful.

This volume, by a group of
physicians, ethicists, lawyers, and activists, is a defence of the legalization
of physician-assisted dying for the few and mostly terminally ill patients who
voluntarily request it. It is written in response to the one previously edited
by Kathleen Foley and Herbert Hendin also for Johns Hopkins University Press,
one of the leading publishers in the field of medical humanities (see The
Case Against Assisted Suicide: For the Right to End-of-Life Care, 2002,
reviewed in Metapsychology by Tony O'Brien on Sep 12th 2006).
The book, which provides a
comprehensive account of the issue and will be of interest to professionals and
patients at large, is divided into four parts. The first examines the
perspectives of mercy, nonabandonment, autonomy and choice. The second explores
the clinical, philosophical, and religious issues that underlie end-of-life
practices (including a piece by John S. Spong, a Bishop arguing for the
compatibility of Christianity with suicide!). Part three examines practice in Oregon and the Netherlands, two places where physician-assisted dying is now legal (but
controversial). The last section deals with some of the turmoil that has
surrounded the debate on this issue in the United States.
Its contributors are well-known,
especially distinguished authors such as Quill, Battin, Cassell, Beauchamp, or
Brock. In general, they champion the causes of patient autonomy, mercy, and
ongoing commitment to the patient, and answer the charges of those who oppose
physician-assisted suicide because their worry about the wrongness of killing,
the diminished integrity of physicians, and the risk of abuse. The Oregon and Dutch cases are carefully described, often by leading agents in those experiences,
such as Els Borst-Eilers, Minister of Health in the Netherlands for many of the
years under study.
In the introduction, Battin and
Quill expose how the argument over physician-assisted dying has often been
based on a false dichotomy: "What would you have, access to hospice and
palliative care (that is, medical relief of pain and suffering in dying) or
access to physician-assisted death?" Put it this way, most people would
choose the former option, not the latter. But that is not a genuine choice,
this book argues, as the Oregonian and Dutch experiences show that good
palliative care, including that provided by hospice, is compatible with
physician-assisted death. As Lee argues, from the viewpoint of Compassion, a
nonprofit organization, it is possible to implement a model that integrates
assisted dying with excellent end-of-life care, and it is necessary because
"suffering may be more tolerable when it is endured voluntarily."
Many of the articles include moving
and detailed cases, such as the one by Angell, who describes the tragic
circumstances of her father's suicide and concludes that mercy requires
physicians not only to provide pain relief, but also to consider the wishes of
dying patients with unrelievable suffering. Other articles provide more
theoretical perspectives, such as the one by Preston, Gundison and Mayo, who
explain the role of autonomy in choosing physician aid in dying, defending it
against concerns about decision-making capacity, or about extreme
individualism. Quill and Cassel provide an elaboration of the concept of
non-abandonment as a central obligation for physicians, stressing that they
should make every effort to find common ground with those patients. Some pieces
are based on empirical studies, such as the one by Pearlman and Starks
describing why people seek physician-assisted death. The patient's wish to
retain some measure of control and the doctor's communication skills (studied
in the article by Back) seem to be crucial in this process of decision making,
one in which the patient's wishes and competent consent are more morally
relevant, Beauchamp and Brock suggest, that whether the act are categorized as
"active" versus "passive," or "killing" versus
"letting die."
The book is dedicated to
Andrew Batavia, scholar and founder of AUTONOMY, Inc., who died before it was
published. In his article, Batavia describes the history and inner tensions of
the disability community in the USA, which is not as against this practice as
it is normally understood, and the central essays assess the effects of an open
practice of physician-assisted dying in two legally tolerant environments, one
in Europe and the other in America.
Three essays discuss the Dutch
practices since 1973. Van Delden, Visser, and Borst-Eilers summarize the debate
on legalized euthanasia, and conclude that there is no empirical evidence to
support the suggestion that the Netherlands is on a slippery slope. Even though
there are a number of cases of life-terminating acts without explicit request
of the patient, the Dutch law is supported by a large majority of the
population and is grounded in good medical practice; van Kloot Meijburg
provides a vivid narrative of one of those cases in which everything goes well.
Kimsma and van Leeuwen provide evidence that the emotional impact of assisted
dying on physicians shows that these practices are not easier options than
palliative care, as their critics have suggested.
As for the US, the essay by
Sylvia Law compares the movement for legalization of physician-assisted death
with other liberation movements over the past forty years, and Baron traces the
legal risks of maintaining the current policy of passive legal prohibition
outside of Oregon, where from the 1997 enactment of the Oregon Death with
Dignity Act until 2003, 171 terminally ill patients have secured legal
assistance from their physicians in ending their lives. Stutsman discusses some
of the politics that made this possible; Ganzini provides a comprehensive
account of the experience, and Goodwin an assessment of those ill-directed
critiques that saw in the data evidence of abuse. Additionally, Tucker
describes the two legal cases contesting the issue before the US Supreme Court
(Glucksberg v. Washington and Vacco v. Quill), and Meisel
analyses the legal implications of the vague distinction between actively and
passively hastening death, suggesting that public policy needs to provide
adequate safeguards regardless of the means by which death is hastened.
The conclusion by Quill and Battin
is clear: excellent palliative care should be the standard, and
physician-assisted dying the last resort, but a legal one. In view of the
panoply of arguments and data offered by this excellent book, it is easy not to
disagree. However, this issue is emotionally very charged, and the controversy
will surely go on. There are even a number of films dealing with it now. In The
Barbarian Invasions (2003), it seems that no-one who took part in the
medically assisted suicide of the main character was convinced that it was
morally wrong. Million Dollar Baby (2004) depicts a more complex -- and
realistic -- situation, one in which family and friends are divided about it,
and one that suggests that hastening a patient's death, when it satisfies a set
of strict safeguards, is not something that should be forbidden by the law.

I tend to overbuy corn at the farm stand this time of year and end up with a surplus. Yesterday evening after we saw the last of our weekend guests off, I realized we were out of anything to grill and pretty much at the bottom of the barrel on every count. But I did have corn and an onion (and as I always say, if you have an onion, you have a meal), as well as a few potatoes, chicken broth, a green pepper and two strips of bacon. So I made corn chowder, which I Mexican'd up, as I like to do, with a garnish of some cilantro, avocado, cotija (the crumbly Mexican cheese, though any cheese would do, including cheddar, pecorino, or parmesan), and a few leftover tortilla chips. It was a kind of corn chowder meets tortilla soup. Delicious, and it only took about 15 minutes. Here's what you do:
1. Saute one onion with a glug of olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. I happened to use yellow, but white or red would be fine as well.
2. Add two slices of chopped bacon, cook until it starts to get golden. Add chopped bell pepper, saute until soft.
3. Add chopped yukons or any small potatoes. I only had three, though would have added a few more had I had them on hand.
4. Add chicken broth, a cup and a half or so, and another cup of milk, let simmer a bit.
5. Add the corn cut from four ears. Add salt (a heaping TS at least), a couple of turns of pepper, and a dash of cayenne.
It's ready when the potatoes are done. We garnished with avocado, cheese, chips, and cilantro. My kids like different combinations of these garnishes, but they soup flavors on their are so innocuous that most kids would eat this and anything with tortilla chips is a surefire hit. The garnish just takes it to a new level for adults and looks good enough to serve when you have friends over.

326 N. Hall Street, Allentown, PA 18102 – Future Home of KeneK Photography
I swear it was September a minute ago, anyhow, things have been busy. Working on the new building/studio, photographing all kinds of art work, keeping up with my little guy, Arlo. Here are some shots of the new studio we bought, it is still under construction but we are doing our best to get it up and running. The building was built in 1914, it was used to work on delivery trucks for the old candy shop and factory on 7th St. in Allentown. We started with a new roof and insulated above the rafters to keep the ceiling exposed to show the beautiful wood that was hiding under nasty old drywall and old insulation that was covered in mold, that sure was fun. Our next step was to get the floors fixed up by Bobby and the Floor Sanders, these guys know how to work with old buildings and they did such a great job. We added a heat and AC unit to the 2nd floor, which is a dream and works like a champ. Then came the sewer line, that was a fiasco but it all worked out in the end, I feel like it was a test of patience and we won, 13 months later… What comes after a sewer line but water, toilet and sink, those are all checked off the list. The last thing we just finished up was the sidewalk and it's beautiful!
We will be starting to add some electric and dry wall real soon but in the meantime, I figured I would take on the challenge of restoring the original pivoting factory windows on the 2nd floor. Five windows total with 72 window panes, some original old glass that was still in good shape and then I was able to repurpose some glass that I've been holding onto in my pile of one day stuff… All the old window glazing had to be removed and then the metal scraped and prepped for priming and that's where I'm at and it's starting to get cold so wish me luck that I finish it in the next week or two. It's a lot of work restoring an old building but you just can't find materials like this anymore and if you can it's going to cost you an arm and a leg. To me it's about holding on to the story and preserving the past, we live in such a culture that likes to demolish and rebuild which I understand is necessary to grow but at the same time we have to hold onto some of the past. And now back to work, I'll keep you all updated as we progress.

Horseback riding has always been more than a recreational pursuit in Grand County — it's a way of life. In fact, it's not uncommon to see horseback riders riding into towns such as Grand Lake.
Once summer rolls around, locals and visitors alike can access hundreds of miles of trails ranging from lonesome saunters through the sage to epic climbs into the rugged Rockies.
For a little guidance, we've provided you with four of the best horseback riding trails in the county — and truly — in all of Colorado.
Located on the eastern side of Grand Lake, the East Inlet trailhead for this popular trail is easy to find, and has a quick reward: less than a quarter mile in, you'll find the tumbling Adams Falls. But after the falls, the trail offers more solitude as it passes several more waterfalls, and eventually climbs past Lone Pine Lake to the spectacular, forested shoreline of Lake Verna. Note: Horses are prohibited beyond Lake Verna.
Saddle up at the Monarch Lake Trailhead and then ride around this beautiful lake, keeping an eye open for nesting osprey in the tall pines that line the shore. At the lake's inlet, you can cast a line for brook, brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout, or stay in the saddle and climb into a high-alpine cirque in the rugged Indian Peaks Wilderness, just below Caribou Pass.
Looking for genuine solitude? Odds are good you'll find it in the Byers Peak Wilderness, a little-known protected area southwest of Fraser. The Byers Peak Trail is a great day ride, climbing through tall stands of forest to the high elevations of Byers Peak, where views of the Indian Peaks and Rocky Mountain National Park cap off a spectacular ride.
Want in on a little secret? The Never Summer Wilderness. Hugging the western boundary of the national park, this lightly used area is home to some of Colorado's largest trees, a healthy population of moose and elk, and a unique perspective of Rocky Mountain National Park's signature peaks. Aptly named, the area is often locked in with snow late into the summer, but once clear in late June, the trail to Parika Lake via the Baker Gulch Trail is a true gem. The trailhead is in the national park, which you exit on the trail.
If you are new to the horseback riding, we strongly urge that you learn the basics in Grand County with a qualified outfitter or dude ranch.
Just 67 miles from the Denver metropolitan area, Grand County has the perfect five-day summer or fall getaway that can introduce you to the best of the Rockies. Getting away this season is closer than you think!Read More
As the snow melts and the rivers swell in Grand County, our thoughts turn to the simple pleasures of summer... like these 15 things you ought to try before the snow returns in late fall.Read More
Is there anything better in summertime than boating on a mountain lake? If you ask us, the answer is "no, not really." While Colorado has dozens of great reservoirs and lakes to set sail on, few destinations offer so many choices in one place as Grand County. To help you navigate our five mountain lakes, we've compiled a guide to boating them:Read More

Time flies! It is almost Christmas time. A time for giving; a time to consider those less fortunate than ourselves. A great time also to organise a sponsor run or any other charity fundraising event. Are you a teacher, a student or parent to a student? We call upon you to consider raising funds for Bike4School, one of our bicycle projects in Kenya and Uganda.
Bike4School supports less fortunate students in Kenya and Uganda with bicycles. Due to long distances to school and no transport options but walking many students drop out of school. Majority of the drop-outs being girls, not because they are less ambitious, but because they need to support the household with chores like fetching water and firewood. A bicycles improves access to education and helps them to cycle out of poverty.
Accessing and completing education is an investment for the future and opens opportunities to break the vicious circle of poverty. Girls who finish their secondary education are less likely to be married as a child and are less likely to become one of the many teen mothers. By giving girls access to a bicycle you can empower them. And it has been shown that educating a girl will change the world and empowers the whole country.
How awesome would it be if you, your children or your students could be part of this and raise funds for students in Kenya or Uganda? Giving them access to a bicycles and making the difference for them. Organise a sponsor run, a charity ride or Christmas diner to support students in Africa with bicycles. START YOUR FUNDRAISER NOW and let us know about your efforts, events and everything else. Be part of it! Reach out to us via email@example.com.

Mixing Shapes and Flowers on my Nails
Hello and welcome back! Today I have two fun floral manicures that mix geometric shapes and florals all into one mani but in two different ways. Plus there is a video up on my Youtube channel for one of the looks and one of the looks is in collaboration with one of my Internet besties! :) See its all fun today!
First up is the look I did in todays video as well as a mani swap with To Nails and Beyond which you can see the original mani here. I did all of the art in acrylic paint and it was free handed.
For the base I used China Glaze Glamletics, which is from the Spring Line I talked about here. Its a nice periwinkly blue that has an ever so slight shimmer that is invisible on the nails but seen in the bottle.
I did these actually after a long time of no art so I had a lot of fun with these and enjoyed.... wait for it.... free handing the lines! LOL, I know you are thinking said no one ever, but I used the Mitty Candy 000 and it made it pretty easy.
Well, anytime you do lines its kinda nerve wrecking but also when you pull it off its so much sweeter.
So here I decided to do another renditions thats similar but with no lines since some aren't fans of lines. Here I used triangles!
The same base, China Glaze Glamletics, and the the rest is done in acrylic paint and free handed. The flowers are done in the exact same way the others were/are done as you can see in todays video!
In todays video I tried something a little different and want to know what you think! I did the finger I normally film up close and talked through it, then for the rest of the nails I had them all on screen and sped it up so you could get the gist of the rest! What do you think? Is that a format we should keep around!?
Well guys that is it for today! I hope you have enjoyed the manis in todays post, which one is your favorite! Anywhooo I will be back on Friday with a fun new mani and some swatches so be on the look out. :)

November 20, 2003
Well it's been a pretty bizarre 24 hours. After sending the last email I went to the Fisherman's Club for a beer (again!). I don't want to say they're getting to know me here, but when I walk in they call out "JEFF!"
While I was there one of TV Station manager's buddies, Gordon, arrived on a beat-up moped. He's about 80 and looks remarkably like a British Major from the Crimea War. During the ensuing conversation I made the mistake of suggesting the national bird of Rarotonga should be the "Rooster" since there seems to be so many of them around. From Roosters the conversation migrated to pigs – a hot topic here in Rarotonga. When I mentioned the pigs in my garden the other guys at the table began discretely shaking their heads at me as in "Don't mention the war, Basil" (Fawlty Towers). In this case it was amended into "Don't mention the pigs, Jeff."
But it was too late, the pig was out of the proverbial poke, as it were, and with spit flying in every direction Gordon launched into a diatribe on what people can and cannot do with other people's pigs. (I'm not making this up!)
Evidentially if you catch a neighbour's pig in your garden you can ask the local police to shoot it.(How the cops have time to do that I don't know - all they do is sell driver's licenses at 10 bucks a pop all day) Or (to get back to pigs) you can claim the pig as your own. But you're obligated to share the meat 50/50 with the original owner when you butcher it. When I questioned the old guy about the ethics of this he got furious saying, "How dare you discuss pigs with me!! You have only being here 3 days!"
With that he got up, stormed out and disappeared in a blue cloud of ancient moped exhaust. The strange thing is that nobody in the club seemed to notice. The conversation went on as if Gordon had never been there. I made a note to avoid mentioning pigs again while I was in the Cook Islands.
After the previous night's culinary disaster I decided to splurge and treat myself to a seafood dinner at a reputable (meaning recently inspected by the health department) restaurant. I got in my spiffy car and drove up to the restaurant – perhaps a little too close as I knocked down their sign.
On the positive side, I may be responsible for introducing valet parking to the islands, as the host, who witnessed my arrival, insisted on re-parking my car. I think she just wanted to try out a hot car. It's probably not very often she gets to check out a three cylinder Suzuki Swift. I should have checked the odometer. She was gone a while.
I don't think my parking skills impressed them; they seated me in the bleakest darkest corner near the restrooms - even though the restaurant was empty. Any further isolated I would have been IN the restrooms. I think I heard one of them refer to it as the SARS table.
November 21, 2003
I ordered a nice Tuna steak, and a glass of white wine. The fish came – eventually- and was quite good. The waiter asked if I'd like "another" glass of wine. I pointed out the custom in Canada is to be served the FIRST glass of wine before being offered another.
Needless to say I was not impressed with the service, but how to show it? Tipping here in the Cook Islands is frowned upon, so I came up with a unique solution - I'd leave a BIG tip. That would show them my displeasure!
This morning I finally went on the fishing expedition I had arranged from back home. It was a pretty uneventful day - other than falling off the boat and swinging over the water like an orangutan hanging onto the flying bridge until someone noticed I was missing and swung me back in! The only fish we caught was a tiny Tuna –– just a guppy!
I'm starting to get nervous about getting home. I checked with the local travel agent and she says the flight I'm to come home is 99% full – Since I'm travelling standby I'm already beginning to hyperventilate.
Well that's about all there is too report from now. I'm going back to the Fisherman's club and hope the pig farmer isn't there.

This simple & delicious recipe for crispy roasted potatoes with truffle oil is guaranteed to be a "smash" hit. Kids and grownups alike will find them just as fun to make as they are to eat. With only 4 ingredients and a few easy steps, they're perfect for a weeknight dinner, but dress them up with a dollop of sour cream and a pinch of chives (maybe even some caviar) and they'll be the life of any party.
A drizzle of truffle oil is the secret ingredient that sets these crackly-crisp roasted potatoes apart from the others. The trick to using truffle oil is moderation; it's easy to get carried away by the intoxicating aroma of the magical tuber. A few drops drizzled on each potato is all it takes to infuse them with the warm, earthy flavor of truffles. You'll know you've got it right when your guests can't quite identify the pervasive scent that rises from the warm potatoes and the subtle flavor when they pop them into their mouths.
The truth about truffle oil
Not all truffle oils are created equal. Shocking, yes, but true. Over the years, harsh, artificially "truffle-flavored" oils have led many to the assumption that all truffle oils are bad. Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Earthy Delights is proud to put our name on the label of two great 100% organic truffle oils with true truffle flavor. Earthy Delights truffle oils are made with real truffles, so they really taste like truffles. No matter which you prefer – black truffles (Tuber melanosporum) or white truffles (Tuber magnatum pico) – you can eat your truffles and have them too.
We like keeping truffle oils around for the same reasons we love dried mushrooms: they're a great value, they're always on hand when you need them (even when fresh truffles are out of season) and they store exceptionally well. Once opened, keep your truffle oil in the refrigerator to preserve the fresh flavor. The organic olive oil base will thicken and congeal in the cold, but don't worry – that's normal. Just remember to take your truffle oil out of the fridge and let it warm to room temperature before using.
Crispy Truffled "Smashed" Potatoes
We used colorful little "marble potatoes," so called for their small size. We like the size (two bites!) and lively mix of red, yellow and purple potatoes, but you can use a single color, variety or larger size if you prefer.
- 12 -15 small red or multi-colored potatoes
- Coarse sea salt, to taste
- Extra-virgin olive oil, about 1/4 cup or as needed
- Black or white truffle oil, as needed
Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook the potatoes until they are easily pierced with a skewer, but not overcooked, about 12 – 15 minutes, depending on their size.
Place a double layer of clean dishtowels on your countertop or cutting board. Drain the potatoes well, then lay them out on the dishtowels.
Fold another dishtowel into quarters, and using it as a cover, gently press down on one potato with the palm of your hand to gently flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat, one potato at a time, until all the potatoes are flattened. Don't worry if some break apart a bit; press them together and they'll be just fine.
Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; put a sheet of parchment on top of the foil. Carefully transfer the flattened potatoes to the baking sheet and let them cool slightly.
Heat the oven to 450°F. Spoon or pour the olive oil evenly over the potatoes, lifting them gently to make sure some of the oil goes underneath and that they are well coated on both sides. Sprinkle generously with the salt. Roast the potatoes until they're crispy and deep brown around the edges, about 30 to 40 minutes, carefully turning once with a spatula or tongs halfway through cooking.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle a little more salt on the top of each potato, drizzle with a few drops of truffle oil and serve while hot.
Hints & tips:
For an extra burst of truffle flavor, substitute 1 tsp of truffle salt for part of the sea salt.
Make ahead options:
Boil and flatten the potatoes up to 1 day ahead of time. Let the potatoes cool completely, and store them on the pan, covered with plastic film, in the fridge. Then just bring them to room temperature, coat with oil, salt and roast at the last minute.

WA cities can add $20 car tab fee

Joe Cotugno, London, UK
Mar 29, 2010
Madalyn has unparalleled experience within Outdoor, most recently as Business Delivery Director of Titan Outdoor UK where she was responsible for all back office functions – IT, inventory, campaign management, sales operations, servicing and Health & Safety. During this time, Madalyn increased efficiencies across all her teams; ensured the smooth disposal of the roadside estate to Primesight in 2009 and the subsequent restructure of many Titan departments. She joined Titan Outdoor from JCDecaux in 2007 where she held a number of senior management posts over 16 years in sales, operations, client services and IT.
Prior to that Madalyn gained media buying experience at both specialist and media agency level. Madalyn has a reputation for driving the highest standards of administration and system development; ensuring that the IT function is closely coupled with the user and business requirements. Both at Titan and JCDecaux, Madalyn also worked on international system projects, enabling other countries to benefit from her experience in the UK market. Ayuda Media Systems was founded in 2003 with the single objective of building the world's best OOH system. Seven years later, the company's flagship product for OOH contractors "BMS" (Billboard Management System) is the only system that provides a complete solution for all things OOH – including digital scheduling, campaign management, invoicing, financial reporting, proof of performance, and much more.
With a growing team of 20 employees based in Montreal, Canada, they have established a client base that includes CBS Outdoor, Van Wagner, and Eyecorp. The system currently manages over 300,000 billboards and is offered on a Web-based cloud computing platform. Most of the company's staff work in research and development, and over half have previously worked for Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, SAP or Business Objects.
Andreas Soupliotis, President & CEO of Ayuda Media Systems, said "I am truly delighted to have Madalyn join our team. The fact that such an industry veteran with so much depth and experience in OOH will be joining our company is a true testament to the value proposition of BMS to the industry. Madalyn will be instrumental to our EMEA expansion strategy." Madalyn Roker said "From the first time that I saw the BMS suite, I realised that it would revolutionise the back office, sales and digital functions of any contractor that bought it into it. I am so excited to be joining Ayuda at this pivotal time, as they expand beyond their existing client base globally."
Ayuda Media Systems (Ayuda) has been providing the D/OOH industry with the world's most sophisticated media management platform for over 10 years.

Coffee shop boss vows to keep prices down at Costa despite rise in price of coffee beans
Weak pound has increased the cost of coffee beans but firm wants to steer clear of hiking up costs of drinks
THE boss of COSTA vowed to keep down prices for now, despite the weak Pound raising the cost of coffee beans.
Alison Brittain, chief of Whitbread, which also owns PREMIER INN, said "raising prices is not the first lever" she'd want to pull.
THE CAFFEINE GENEWhy DO some of us crave more coffee than others? Experts reveal the answer lies in your DNA
'DON'T CLOSE THE DOOR'Lurch towards 'hard Brexit' risks destroying having open economy post-EU warns CBI
JOY OF BREXITBuilding trade bounces back following EU vote as 15,000 fewer firms face money woes than last financial quarter
HOLIDAY RIGHTSTravel firms must stop charging customers non-refundable deposits or they will be fined thousands of pounds
She also revealed the company was hedged against the price of coffee until next April.
Marmite maker UNILEVER, MICROSOFT and KitKat producer NESTLE have blamed the post-Brexit vote weak Pound for justifying price hikes.
Ms Brittain said: "Our key import in US dollars is coffee so we expect next year to see that price rise."
Asked if prices would go up next year, she added: "Some competitors have signalled that, but raising prices is not the first lever I would be wanting to pull.
"Our brand's success has been based on great value for money, so we'll continue to focus on that."
Whitbread revenues rose 8.1 per cent to £1.6billion in the six months to September 1, with profits up 2.2 per cent at £200.7million.
Costa's sales were up 10.7 per cent and Premier's rose 8.9 per cent.
But Whitbread's share price was down by over three per cent.

From N.C.: Take U.S. Highway 64 to N.C. 281 South. Turn onto N.C. 281 South. Travel .9 miles from U.S. Highway 64 to Park Entrance.
From S.C.: Take S.C. Highway 11 to S.C. Highway 130 North. Turn onto 130 North. Travel 10.2 miles to the North Carolina State line. S.C. Highway 130 becomes N.C. 281. Travel 7.8 miles to Gorges State Park Entrance.
From Park Entrance: Travel one mile to the new visitor's centre. Continue travelling straight for .6 miles (a total of 1.6 miles from the park entrance) to the Grassy Ridge Parking Area.
This large parking area features nice long-range views, a picnic table, portable toilets, and the Grassy Ridge trailhead in the southwestern corner of the parking lot. Two trails begin here: the Rainbow Falls Trail and the Raymond Fisher Trail. These two trails overlap initially.
Blaze Markings: blue metal circles
Length: 1.5 miles (approximately .75 mile each way; the trail does not end at another trail or accessible location); exactly 3917 feet.
Difficulty: moderate; due to elevation change and distance.

The Raymond Fisher Trail is a moderate trail leading to a beautiful mountain pond nestled in the mountains. Eight primitive campsites are near the pond. Each campsite features a camping pad, a fire ring, a picnic table, and a lantern hook. Pit toilets are nearby. There is a fee for camping; self-registration is provided at the kiosk at the Grassy Ridge trailhead.
The Raymond Fisher Trail is presumably named for a local resident of that name who lived in the vicinity at the aptly named "Raymond Fisher Place." Raymond, along with his father and two brothers, drowned in a fishing accident, almost certainly involving dynamiting fish.
I hiked this trail in late September. The morning started out clear and crisp as mountain mornings are, but it warmed up quickly to become relatively hot by early afternoon. The leaves had just begun to change, with some species or individual areas displaying a mild splash of colour to the scenery. I spooked a doe around 3080'. She ran off into an ivy thicket. It is astounding how hard it was to see her if she stopped moving. Even with my eyes on her, she seemed to fade away, her dun and white colouring blending perfectly with the grey-white of the ivy stems and the brown of the leaves. We played peek-a-boo as I tried to get a photo and she tried to deny me—ultimately, she was victorious.
The Raymond Fisher Trail begins at the Grassy Ridge trailhead in the southwestern corner of the Grassy Ridge parking area. Several kiosks dealing with the hiking trails, camping for the Raymond Fisher Trail and along the Horsepasture River, and some general interesting environmental/ecological information pertaining to the park are present. The two trails commencing from the trailhead, the Rainbow Falls Trail (orange blazes) and the Raymond Fisher Trail (blue blazed), overlap for about ¼ mile. Large portions of the trail are graced with the glossy green of galax (Galax urceolata) and, a little higher, ivy bush (Kalmia latifolia) and laurel (Rhododendron maximum).
At 1195', a small bench suitable for one person is present for those who tire easily.
At 1424', the Rainbow Falls Trail and the Raymond Fisher Trail diverge. The Raymond Fisher Trail proceeds to the left; the Rainbow Falls Trail to the right. There is an official Park sign complete with the blaze colours on it present at the fork.
At 2163', a gate blocks the trail from a gravel road (I believe this is Chestnut Mountain Road commencing off the corner of the Grassy Ridge parking area). The trail resumes straight across the road. A pair of rocks mark the trail on either side of the road. Oddly, there is a trail crossing sign on only one side of the gravel road to warn vehicles of possible pedestrians. The gravel on the trail ends soon after crossing. From here, the trail winds down into the bottom where the pond is located.
At 3340', the trail enters a decently-sized laurel thicket.
At 3390', turkey brush is along both sides of the path and continues all the way to the pond and around it. This is the largest patch of turkey brush I have ever encountered.
At 3697', the path reaches the Raymond Fisher pond that is the focal point of the trail. The campsites are across from the pond to the hiker's right as he follows the trail. The trail continues across the dam toward the visible kiosk.
At 3917', the trail ends at a kiosk.

Rocky View Schools (RVS) and the Town of Cochrane released the Master Site Plan for the future development of the Horse Creek Sports Park, a vision for the quarter section immediately north of Heritage Hills.
The project is the culmination of a collaboration between the Town of Cochrane, Rocky View Schools, the Town Parks and Recreation Committee, and local community user groups.
The land was purchased by RVS in 2015 as a future high school site. As these lands are currently located within Rocky View County, a formal annexation agreement was submitted to the Municipal Government Board in November of 2018 to move these lands within Town boundaries. Approval of the application is anticipated in the upcoming week.
"Rocky View Schools is pleased to be collaborating with the Town of Cochrane in the development of this parcel of land that will result in overall infrastructure cost saving to our jurisdiction and the town," said RVS' Board Chair Todd Brand. "The synergy of this project and the subsequent amenities will benefit the students and community of Cochrane for many years to come."
Approximately 30 acres will be dedicated school site, with the Town developing the remaining 128 acres. In addition to the school, the Master Site Plan includes 11 acres for Town maintenance and Transit facilities and 117 acres for future recreational uses including a quad ball diamond; multiple soccer/rugby fields; outdoor skating rinks; playgrounds; a central clubhouse facility; bike facilities including a pump track, skills park and flow park; and an extensive pathway and trail network with a viewpoint.
The development of this site will be phased in over a number of years, with a significant portion of the funding to come from fundraising efforts from local sports groups.
"Developing the Horse Creek Sports Park will help address the needs of the growing active recreational groups in town," said Mayor Jeff Genung. "The synergy of a high school and recreational space makes perfect sense. This development will provide even more opportunities for students and residents to enjoy a wider variety of amenities close to home."
In developing the Master Site Plan, the Town consulted with local recreational user groups, Inter Pipeline, and the Parks and Recreation Committee, who was instrumental in guiding and refining the vision for this property.
The Town will proceed with redesignation and subdivision applications throughout 2019, with plans to service the property in 2020. Following this, formal onsite development may commence including the Town maintenance and transit facilities. The development of the High School site will not proceed until required by Rocky View Schools.

adidas Originals x Pharell
Hot off the press! Adidas has just announced its latest collaboration, this time with no one other than the amazing Pharell Williams. We're not going to lie, we've had a style crush on Pharell for a long long time now, so we can't wait to see this happening. The collaboration isn't a one-off, but a long term partnership.
The collections will be using Bionic Yarn in some of the pieces, Pharell's own textile company which produces yarn and fabric made from plastic debris in oceans – making this a first for Adidas. Of the collaboration, Pharell said : "Working with an iconic brand like adidas is such an incredible opportunity. From the classic track suit, to growing up in Virginia wearing Stan Smiths, adidas has been a staple in my life. Their pieces are timeless. This is an exciting partnership for both me and for Bionic Yarn."
The first collection will be launching this summer already, so we're definitely keeping an eye out… what do you think about Pharell x Adidas?

Strange error messageJanuary 3, 2013
The other day a retailer gave me a web address (mercator.com.au) to check for a product. I entered it into Firefox–without the 'www'–and got this strange (almost rude) error message:
Nothing on the page was clickable and there was no indication that I needed to type the 'www'. So, because I'm a determined little bunny, I then added the 'www' bit (www.mercator.com.au) and this time I got the correct site.
These days, browsers like Firefox etc. normally resolve the 'www' bit and add it automatically, but not in this instance. Back in the day, it used to be that an address without the 'www' and one with the 'www' had to be linked (by the domain host?) so that they would resolve correctly, no matter what the user entered. Obviously that didn't happen in this case, but the web developer did take the time to write this error message — I think that time would have been better spent making sure that the non-www URL resolved correctly.

Our long-term goal is to determine how presynaptic neurons influence the firing of their targets and to understand how physiologically significant computations are performed by synapses. Fast chemical synapses are the primary means of communication between neurons. They are constantly modified by a variety of mechanisms in ways that are vital to memory formation and normal brain function. With calcium implicated in almost every aspect of transmission, my focus has been on the many basic questions regarding calcium control of synaptic strength in the mammalian brain, including retrograde signaling by endocannabinoids. It is clear that many calcium dependent processes work together to control the release of neurotransmitter. These include synaptic facilitation, chemical messenger mediated release, depression and delayed release of neurotransmitter. My strategy has been to examine each of these mechanisms in isolation and then to determine how they interact to control synapses during realistic spike trains. In recent years we have begun to study small circuits.
Most of the studies have been performed on synapses in the cerebellum, which are well described anatomically, accessible and relatively easy to study. Many studies are also performed within the LGN at synapses between retinal ganglion cells, local interneurons that can release GABA from their dendrites, and thalamic relay neurons. The primary experimental approaches are 2 photon imaging of calcium, electrophysiological measurements, and the manipulation of cell firing with channelrhodopsin-2. These studies will be augmented by serial electron microscopy, array tomography, in vivo studies, the development of transgenic mice and behavior.

Lost & Found: Hull
Hull's lost past and newly found musical placesTuesday 10th September 2019
Hull, is perhaps, not the first Northern UK port that people think of as a hub of musical innovation, but it has given the world The Housemartins, The Beautiful South and Throbbing Gristle, not to mention a large proportion of the Spiders From Mars. A creative renaissance won the city the title of 2017 UK City Of Culture and, and recent Hull exports have included the like of young punk band LIFE, rapper Chiedu Oraka and sonic experimentalists Vulgarians.
We look at some of the spaces that Hull's music scene has lost over the years and looking forward, some of the locations of today's Hull scene.
The Lamp
Formerly The Jailhouse, then The Blue Lamp from 1992, then The Lamp, then back to The Blue lamp before its eventual closure in 2014, the venue's various names referred to its former life as a police station. The Lamp's lifespan was well placed to accommodate bands from Ocean Colour Scene through to The Maccabees, The Twang and Twisted Wheel. Despite its solid reputation as a music venue, finances got the better of it in 2014 and The Lamp put out its lights for the last time.
A joint venture of fellow Leeds venues Welly Club and Polar Bear, Fruit was based in an old fruit and veg warehouse between 2010 and 2018. Gigs, alternative pub quizzes, vintage markets, it seemed Fruit could do it all. One of the trailblazers of Hull's now largely gentrified Fruit Market Quarter, Fruit's success catalysed by the heat of 2017 UK City Of Culture status made rent too high and property too desirable to developers for the venue to remain. Lucy Rose, The Selecter and Wolf Alice were among those to perform there with Drenge playing one of the much-loved venue's last gigs.
In a triple bill of losses Hull, venues Club Sahara (est. 1990) and Quigley's (est. 1992) joined their forces along Albion Street in 1993 to become Oasis. It's unclear whether the name was intended to cash in on what was to become the biggest Britpop band on the planet but to keep up with the times, the club imaginatively rebranded itself as Oasis 2000 - in the year 2000. The rebrand lasted one year before the Club became Club Zen, eventually closing in 2009 as part of a project to develop the area as accommodation, which as some have pointed out was the street's original use.
The Raine Club
One of those Yorkshire social clubs turned part-time venue, The Raine was loved by locals and music fans alike, with a big following among Hull's mod and scooter community in particular. The Club even formed the backdrop for a photo in Quentin Budworth's Hullywood project, recreating a scene from Quadrophenia with a local scooter club. Sadly, despite the passion of Bernice and Richard Brumby who ran the club, the club's fortunes were not as fair as the Brudenell of Hebden Bridge Trades and the club closed its doors in 2018.
The Brick House
The side project of The Hull Brick Company, a promoter that aimed to attract the like of T. Rex and Mott The Hoople to Hull, The Brick House was a valiant attempt to open a small progressive venue in '70s, Hull. Sounding like it would fit into a lot of contemporary venues' business models, the venue opened as a cafe and a place to listen to records in the day, hosting gigs by night, but the Methodist chapel building's status meant that The Brick House was never granted a licence to serve alcohol. Thirsty customers, coupled with some trouble from Hell's Angels, caused the Brick House tp struggle and it closed within a year of opening in 1972.
Not to be confused with the famous Camden venue of the same name, Dingwalls in Hull took over the brutalist concrete premises of a defunct bierkeller in 1983 adjoining the Oddessy discotheque next door. The club hosted gigs from The Damned, Eurythmics and Sisters Of Mercy among other notable British bands but its time was cut short in 1985 when a fire took out Dingwalls and Oddessy in one night. Demolition soon followed.
Romeo's and Juliet's
In its glory years under the name Skyline Ballroom, this club saw Jimi Hendrix play on its stage, located above a Hull Co-op building. The club closed following a fairly epic drug raid in the 1980s, resulting in images of a veritable army of police officers marching into the club's foyer making the papers.
The New Adelphi Club
Perhaps the only club to boast that the Luftwaffe provided it with a carpark, The New Adelphi start life as a three-bedroom house before becoming a club in the 1920s and losing its neighbouring house during the blitz. The New Adelphi really began life in 1984 when music lover Paul Jackson gave up his day job and took over the club intending to create a dedicated music venue. A formative stomping ground for the Yorkshire icons including The Housemartins and Pulp, like Leeds' Brudenell, the change of direction was a success, largely due to the area's student population and the club's efforts to still cater for its existing regulars. The New Adelphi is still going strong to this day.
Polar Bear
Dating back to the 1800s with its ornate stained-glass dome ceiling and original ceramic bar counter, Polar Bear is as architecturally interesting as it is as a hub of new music. With a sizeable outdoor area able to host small outdoor gigs, as well as its indoor stage, Polar Bear holds is weekly SESH every Tuesday. The night aims to provide a platform for unsigned local talent for unsigned talent, and the monthly FREAKSCENE night goes a step further bringing together artists from the local scene to collaborate on themed nights of temporary supergroups.
The Peoples Republic
Not a gig venue, but a pub that prides itself on playing music from all over the world on vinyl to complement its wide range of world beers. The People's Republic hosts specialist DJs, listing Turkish Disco, Eastern European, Gospel, German Hip Hop, World Percussion, and Post Punk among its highly curated aural backdrop.
With a name that perhaps refers to Ziggy's famous band from Hull, Spiders is that sort of place that defies the creep of gentrification, and could arguably be described as a subculture in its own right. A key haunt for Hull's goth scene that hatched from the end of the punk scene, the venue remained one of the most loved spots for the congregation of subcultures in Hull. The independent club was founded in 1979 and included an appearance on The Tube among its moments of fame. Although times have changed, Spiders is still a fiercely independent club, loved by its patrons as a space in which they can enjoy themselves feeling safe from the judging eyes of the modern mainstream.
The Welly
A club with over 100 years of history, The Welly is another Hull club to resist the national trend of independent venue closure. The Welly is Hull's place for regular alternative nights, the gateway environment for many of our journeys into more diverse subcultures. The Welly boasts three club rooms and a hidden pub within a club called Mrs Wilson's taking its name from the landlady who ran the club in the 1960s.

July 4th arrived and so did our Norah Brave!
She made her appearance via a successful VBAC just before 9pm after 24+ hours of labor. Weighing in at 7lbs 13oz. 21″ long and screaming her lungs out! :)
We are smitten and enjoying our time at home with the four of us. Big brother Luke is doing great with the transition and I am feeling super good.
I snapped this picture yesterday during her photo shoot with her Uncle. :) Can't wait to see and share those pics. She is laying on the quilt I finished for her the week she was born. I will share more of it later once I get a full shot.
Thank so much for stopping by! I am off to snuggle this babe.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich joined Brian Kilmeade to discuss current Speaker Paul Ryan and Congressman Trey Gowdy saying they feel the FBI did nothing wrong by putting an informant in the campaign of Donald Trump. Gingrich said he doesn't understand how both of them can make statements in support of the FBI with no knowledge of the facts since they have not seen any of the DOJ documents on the depth of the operation. Gingrich also spoke about Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe requesting the Senate Judiciary Committee provide him with immunity from prosecution. Gingrich believes if McCabe gets immunity he will implicate others, including James Comey, eventually leading to Valerie Jarrett.
