Crosstable after 6RR
The current draw rate is 102/168 (60.1%). There were more draws in RR5-6 compared to RR3-4.
Andscacs extended its lead to 3 points ahead of Fizbo. Booot and Jonny are still in the race, both have lost 0.5 points to Fizbo in RR5-6. Nirvana and Hannibal close the table. Hannibal reduced the score difference to Laser and Gull by 0.5 point and still has a reasonable probability to avoid relegation. It is interesting to note that Hannibal's results are better than Laser's against most opponents, and the reason Laser is ahead is that it beat Hannibal 3 times in their head to head games.
There were no crashes in RR5-6, Nirvana and Hannibal are still 1 crash away from disqualification.
A few interesting games
Laser - Fizbo: Queens were off early and Laser had an advanced passer on the 6th rank. After exchanging all rooks Fizbo's eval started to increase, reaching a peak of over 2. In a BNN vs BNN position the black king was very active as an extra piece. Laser held on to its passer as long as it could but lost it eventually, however by then evals were dropping and there were not enough pawns on the board, Laser held the draw.
Hannibal - Gull: The game reached a RB vs RB position on move 29. Hannibal was up a pawn but evals stayed constant at around 1 for a long while. Somehow Hannibal stumbled on a path to improve, exchanging the rooks and using zugzwang to capture two pawns and win.
Hannibal - Jonny: Jonny pushed pawns on the king side, driving off defenders and threatening the white king. Hannibal exchanged queens to stop the attack, Jonny's eval was over 1 in a RRN vs RRB position. Hannibal still felt safe after Jonny traded a rook for a knight and pawn, but Jonny's pawn majority on the king side was quickly turned into an advanced passer, and a win for Jonny.
Gull - Andscacs: Gull started with a significant eval advantage, and the evals stayed high for over 40 moves, reaching over 1.5. Andscacs sacrificed a pawn and a bishop, drawing the white queen away. Then with its queen, a rook and two advanced pawns Andscacs created a strong enough attack that forced a draw.
Laser - Hannibal: Laser had an opportunity to move further away from the relegation zone. It was a pawn ahead with an eval advantage that peaked over 1.5. Hannibal traded down to a drawn rook ending, it is still fighting to stay in the division.
Jonny - Andscacs: Jonny was up a pawn with evals over 1 and rising. The engines traded most pieces through a queen pin along a major diagonal, reaching a QB vs QB position on move 30. Evals continued to climb and after exchanging queens Jonny's eval was over 4, Andscacs' eval over 2. Jonny had 2 pawns and Andscacs only one, Jonny gave a high score to this 7-man position using 6-man tablebases, and yet Andscacs held the draw. Did Jonny miss the winning path, or was it a draw to begin with?
RR5 is over. There were many draws in RR5, 19/28. This is closer to the draw rate of the bookless openings in RR1+2. As a result there are only a few changes in the crosstable. Andscacs is in the lead, 1 point ahead of Fizbo. Booot and Jonny are still in the race. Hannibal and Nirvana close the table. Nirvana looks a sure bet for relegation. Hannibal still has hopes, closing the gap to Laser by 0.5 points and to Gull by 1 point in RR5. There were no further crashes in RR5, Nirvana and Hannibal are still one strike away from disqualification.
Andscacs - Nirvana: Andscacs advanced pawns on the queen side facing the white king. Nirvana ignored this and attacked the uncastled black king with a QN combination. Nirvana gave a knight for pawns and exposed the black king, but its attack was not effective. Evals were over 2 in favor of Andscacs with the white king close to being mated. Nirvana tried to defend but gradually lost pawns, the extra piece was enough for a win for Andscacs. This is the 2nd double win for Andscacs against Nirvana.
Hannibal - Andscacs: For the first 30 moves the game was balanced with many pieces on the board and evals close to 0. Andscacs' eval climbed over 1 as more pieces were exchanged and Andscacs won a pawn. The game reached a rook endgame, for a while it seemed that the pawn advantage was only good for a draw. Evals jumped when Hannibal allowed the black king to advance. This apparent blunder gave Andscacs the win.
Laser - Booot: Booot equalized and took the initiative. It had a pawn majority on the king side, and Booot converted that to a passer with evals over 1. Then Booot traded down to a B vs N ending, Laser had to stop the passer allowing Booot's king to get to the queen side first for the win.
Jonny - Fizbo: Jonny was up two pawns with a connected pair of passers, its eval over 2.5. However, Fizbo had its own connected pair of passers which was more advanced, and even after being a rook down Fizbo was able to force a draw. A missed opportunity for Jonny to get closer to 2nd place.
Hannibal - Laser: The engines started to shuffle on move 26, both reluctant to advance their passers, Hannibal in the center and Laser on the queen side. Evals were close to 0 for 50 moves, Laser's pawns crept forward slowly. Laser's eval started to increase as it opened the king side, and all of a sudden it had passers on all fronts. After exchanging down to a RB vs RN position Hannibal couldn't handle all the pawn threats. An important win for Laser, after Hannibal almost closed the gap between them.
Featured game: Hannibal - Fizbo
Division 1, round 37
Link to game on TCEC
Hannibal had an eval advantage from the opening. On move 17 Fizbo gave a pawn on the king side. The white pawn on e5 was hanging but Fizbo preferred to leave it for a few moves. Taking with the queen leads to a skewer attack by the DS bishop, and taking with the knight opens a file with an attack on the king.
However, a few moves later Hannibal was already two pawns ahead and its DS bishop found a different skewer attack, this time on the queen side. Fizbo couldn't take the bishop with the knight since both the rook on d8 and the bishop on f8 were hanging.
Fizbo was forced to lose material. A few moves later after more pieces were exchanged Hannibal was up a piece and a pawn in a winning position.
The game was adjudicated a win
for Hannibal not long afterwards. This opening had a 1-1 biased result, but it was surprising how fast Fizbo's position crumbled. This was a
good result for Hannibal, it still had hope of staying in the division.

With The LEGO Movie, LEGO Ghostbusters, and the solid gold LEGO minifigure all grabbing our attention, we've been riding the LEGO train hard lately. (FYI: You can literally ride a full size LEGO train.) Though most of the stuff we've been geeking out over isn't really relevant to our daily lives, we've found the perfect everyday homage to the brand that literally built our childhood — the LEGO Drinking Bottle. Manufactured out of polypropylene, the bottle is food safe, and has a removable bottom so it's easy to clean.
Ethan Wolff-Mann is the Gear editor of Supercompressor. He still has a Lego train set. Follow him on Twitter @ewolffmann.

So you fancy that new colour of paint on your old table?
Or feel ready to add a feature wall to your lounge?
Whatever your reason for wanting to update your decor, wait for a moment before reaching for the tin of paint stripper on the shelf!
TGH has a whole host of natural alternatives to removing paint, from various surfaces and even your skin. There is bound to be an option to suit you in the list below, so you don't need to worry about exposing yourself and your family to harmful substances such as Methylene Chloride, which is one of the most common ingredients in standard paint strippers. This has been linked to cancer, and is the reason for lightheadedness, chemical burns and all of the big nasty warning labels on the bottle.
Before we head into the recipes though, please remember that these natural alternatives do still come with some hazards. In order to remove the paint they have to be corrosive to some degree, so always wear gloves. Work in a well ventilated space and understand what kind of paint you are dealing with. Lead based paints for example need to be handled with care.
When you choose one of the options below, be sure to try it out on a small, discreet area before you get going, to make sure that there is no damage caused to the surface you are stripping.
The final point before we get stuck in, is to dispose of your discarded paint properly. You should get in touch with your local municipality to find out how.
There are citrus based eco-paint strippers available to buy, which are effective at removing paint. They are also biodegradable and give off low emissions. They also leave behind a pleasant orange scent.
Soy gel is another non toxic choice, which gives off low emissions. It can be left on the paint for hours to penetrate without evaporating, and it doesn't drip. Soy gel is also biodegradable, which makes it a clever environmentally friendly choice.
You can hire a professional to come and sand-blast your paint off, if the area is large enough!

If you decide to build a website around your hobby, my advice is to specialise. For example, rather than building a website about "music" choose a niche topic. Possible choices could be Big Band Music, New Orleans Jazz, Rock and Roll or Classical Music.
A One Day Website is built on a blog platform. This allows you to set a number of fixed pages which you use to give information about your hobby, AND post to your blog as often as you wish, to keep your site updated and fresh.

Enhancing pilot situational awareness for increased safety
Modern helicopter avionics technologies enhance situational awareness to increase safety and reduce common aviation accidents.
By Courtney E. Howard, Military & Aerospace Avionics Intelligence
Aviation accidents can have far-reaching effects and often unforeseen consequences. Rather than recoiling in reaction to helicopter-related fatalities, the rotorcraft community has banded together and taken a proactive approach—advancing cockpit avionics technologies to aid in reducing unfortunate aviation incidents, assisting pilots, and bolstering safety.

Here is my 3rd post for today. No I'm not sitting making all these cards, they've been ongoing for a couple of days. Just finished them off this morning and I'm now able to post them.
I made this card for a few challenges that have summer themes this week. I've used the wonderful new images from Prairie Fairy Designs, they are called Gillian and Lewis. They do make me smile. I love them. They come as individual images but I've paired them up for a day at the beach, and they're available here
They are coloured with promarkers and I used chalks and my fingers to create the beach, sea and sky. The seashells came from the beach at Salou in Northern Spain when I was there in May, new they could be used for embellies ( and they were free!!!) lol. I do hope you like my little friends. They are entering the following challenges:
1. Allsorts challenge: Create a Scene this week
2. By the Cute & Girly Challenge: Warm Summer Days
3. The Creative Cottage Challenge: Summer Surprise
4. Digital Tuesday Challenge: Summertime
5. Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge: Water ( they are at the beach)
6. Ooh la la Challenge: Simply Summer
7. Whoopsi Daisy Challenge: Vibrant Colours this week, oranges, reds, greens etc.
I have one more card to share with you today, but I'm just putting the finishing touches to it so I'll see you all later.
Bye for now. Suzi x

Original lesson: Guns N' Roses Style by Gabriel Leopardi
Hi Gmc
I work this lesson since some weeks.
Riffs is simple but asks a very precise playing.
It's very hard to play tight in timing.
I played two part, Gab gave me the track with bass and drum only.
I like understanding how the BT was built
Thank you Gab for advises about lesson and vst
I gave the best of myself

As usual you are doing a really good job.
The most concise thing I can comment on is to experiment with a little less distortion or try backing of the treble a bit. Also I would recommend you do not scoop (= remove too much) mid range.
And as usual, I am lacking that last bit of groove to give you a top score. Bare in mind that Gab's right hand is a fully fledged rhythm machine - for less experienced players it might be very useful to tap your foot as well to back up the groove. I noticed you did not tap your foot during those sections.
You get an 8 from me!

Hi MisterM!
Nice to find this one at REC! I'm here just for grading because we are already working on this one at the mentoring thread.
I'd like to add that it's a good decision to start working on rhythm lessons as a complement to solo lessons that you are mastering. Keep the good job!

Hey there again!
You both do a great job at Gab's Army
Let me start from things that took my attention first.
There is overall feeling of not precise pitch, cause bu the instrument intonation - not by your playing. The moment when you start to play full baree chords exposes it much. If you usually just tune your open string to a tuning device, I would advice to go to a luthier. If your nut string slots are not deep enough, than fretting fingers pressure cause fretted notes to increase the pitch. I'm just guessing because from the factory instrument are being a kind of compromised setup-wise. Players prefere different strings gauges and string height so it's actually almost impossible to make it work perfect for everybody at the same time. Giving your guitar to a luthier that will know what you like your guitar to be setup - strings gauge and height can be an excellent idea
Second thing about the chords is that I feel like gab is playing powerchords rather than full chords. In your take the 3rds of each chord are extremely visible, while in Gab's original track...they're not. 3rds are a nasty intervals for this much of distortion. That's why powerchords have been "invented" Try to tune your guitar to fretted notes rather than open strings. very often it solves 90% of the problem
This lesson demands a lot of rhytmical tightness and precission. Not only perfect moments to hit the notes but a perfect moments to break them/mute them. At the moments when they would suppose to be muted I can notice some unwanted string cutting through. If you would be my personall student I guess I would try to break you free from that particular right hand grip you have. There's a lot of good muting job finger can do if they are released free - for example in this case - they support the left hand in a harder muting moments. I also belive it's unnecessary tension for the hand. Strength of thumb and right index finger is just enough to have a solid pick grip. Released fingers can also be always ready for volume knob adjustments. I know that Gab does not do this but he has been playign this way for years I belive and he found his personall solutions for mentioned problems. I'm just saying how things work for me For example at the break at 0:06 you could rest a side of your right palm through all the strings and make them perfectly silent.
As for solo playing you have some kind of smoothness that I always liked. I do not caputre anything cirtical there but I have to admit that it can be partially because both guitars - rhythm and solo are filled in the same frequency range - exactly the same tone. This makes rhythm guitar cover the solo at some points - at least cover some details that would be important for us to capture. Remember you can alwasy try to doubletrack the rhythm guitar. Record teh same part twice and pan one track left and the other track right. Make the soloe be as additional center track. Doubling the backing guitars make the feeling of low mids being boosted, there also heppen to appear some tine phase mismatch that makes some frequencies "deny" at some spots and this makes rhythm guitars take the frequency range a little different than a solo guitar on center does. Remember - it's not alwasy enough that rhythm and solo parts happen in different octaves
In general it's pleasane take with mainly the tuning problem in the rhythm part. I know it all above looks like serious problems, but those are just pro tips for someone who cares to sound pro, and I belive you are such a player . Keep on rocking!

Creating a Really Trustworthy and Useful UI
What does trustworthiness and usefulness (or practicality) have to do with web design? Quite simply, the whole UI/UX world revolves around these two end-customer-centric terms.
Long story short, establishing this kind of a trust will give you a hand in creating a solid foundation between you and the end-user, it can boost your sales and product loyalty. This kind of a holistic approach dictates a responsible sense of quality and success and sets the stage for a long-term and valuable user relationship. Today, we have few things to tell you about, which you can do to create a UI that users can trust.
- Tell users what you will do with the information they provide
- Tell users if you use cookies to keep track of their actions
- Establish a privacy policy that explains what you do with user information
- Use secure connections and HTTPS when possible
- If something unfortunate happens, explain and remedy it immediately
So, as we've learned today, trust is an important part of a successful user interface and subsequently user experience. Without trust, users will get suspicious and wary of your site and offerings and will be fast to leave your site for your competitors. Without trust, users won't perform actions on your website - like making purchases or filling out any kinds of forms. Maybe most importantly, a user that does not trust you will share this experience with others.

How our hearing aids change life of user?
Hearing Help Rates- What Are You Spending for?
There are a selection of aspects that go into making up listening to help prices. Besides spending for the listening device, there are other expenses related to medical exam, listening to test, changes, innovation, batteries, service warranty and also service. These expenses can not be prevented entirely. Nonetheless, if you compare as well as have a look at various suppliers, you need to have the ability to discover a listening devices that fits your budget plan as well as satisfies your hearing requires.
Medical Checkup As Well As Hearing Test
A medical checkup is the very first and crucial step to determining the reason for your hearing loss. A physician can detect if your hearing issue is a clinical condition that can be treated. Some hearing problems can be fixed, either completely or partly. Lots of insurance programs cover the medical examination, so you are just needed to contribute part of the clinical cost.
When your physician has ruled out any type of hidden clinical problem, you'll require to take a hearing test to identify the degree of your hearing loss and also one of the most suitable style of hearing aid for you.
Listening To Help Innovation
The really initial hearing aids were analog which only supplied basic sound boosting. With the advancement of listening devices technology come programmable and also digital listening device. Digital technology supplies the best sound top quality and amplification, removing distortion of very loud noises. Generally, digital hearing aids are one of the most costly, yet some listening devices makers such as Siemens provide them in reduced, mid or high range to suit every spending plan, way of living and also hearing loss.
Listening device costs raise with each included features such as adjustable volume control, directional microphone, push-button control, Bluetooth and cordless technology. So, expect to pay even more for hearing aids with lots of features.
A hearing aid bought from a trustworthy distributor or audiologist will be accompanied by a warranty for one year or even more. Some warranties cover damage to the hearing that results from malfunctioning layout, manufacturing or fitting while other guarantees expand past that to encompass damages or troubles that are not the fault of design, manufacture or suitable. Typically, they will certainly replace the listening devices free of cost or will certainly bill you a marginal refit fee. A service warranty is very beneficial due to the fact that the producer soaks up the costs rather than you.
Battery replacement is an ongoing expense of maintaining your listening devices. Look around to locate batteries with the most affordable feasible price. Purchase from significant sellers online or offline. It's best to shop at shops with high turn over so you can be sure to get new as well as fresh batteries that can last much longer.
Research study shows that only 1 in 5 people who can take advantage of hearing aids really wear them. A hearing issue can leave you really feeling separated. It can create you to avoid social circumstances as well as personal interactions with others. Hearing aids can help to enhance your hearing capability and also lifestyle. Do your research as well as you are bound to locate a high quality listening device at an cost effective price.

Shelagh Martin
The table is perfect, and fits in the alcove space like a glove. I'd say you would get four people around it easily, though haven't tried it yet.
It's sturdy but not too heavy to move around, and ideal for a small house or apartment.
I'd also like to add, I bought the White melamine, which apparently has a wood grain running through it but I can't see the grain at all. The table surface and frame is flat white, and is exactly what I was looking for.
Very happy customer.
Patricia Kiely
The table is well made and just ideal for my small bungalow
sandra Lightowler
All as described in the information provided on the web page. Had to wait a few weeks, but that was explained as well. Good communication from staff and delivery men. Ideal table for me - compact, neat and smart looking (white).

This table was purchased for my mum who wanted a table which stored away neatly whilst not being used. This is the only place we could find one and she is really pleased with it and the way the order and delivery went so smoothly. She is now considering purchasing the chairs that go with it. She was also impressed with the quality of the table.

The consensus during a community conversation this week was in favor of pursuing construction of a new public library in Junction City.
Library officials are pointing to the same location or general area as the current Dorothy Bramlage Public Library. Director Susan Moyer noted there has been discussion about the original concept of adding to the current structure. "We had moved away from that and there was no one in the audience that seemed to think that should be brought up again. Notion of demolishing and rebuilding seems to be what everyone is in favor of, and again then it just comes down to some of the logistics of how we do that."
One signicant part of the conversation revolved around building a one-story building or a two-story facility with the upper level remaining unfinished and available for future expansion. Moyer stated, "It seemed like for those tables that talked about it that the consensus of that group was also if we can we should go ahead and add that white box ( upper level ) to the new building so we can grow into it in the future. The cost of a one story facility has been estimated between $6 million and $7 million, while adding the shell of the upper story would add an additional $3 million to the cost. Moyer added she thought the group felt that the extra $3 million dollar cost would be less today than in the future, meaning as construction costs increase.
Fundraising will be done by seeking private donations or grants. Mayor Pat Landes made that clear. "The plan for this library project is to raise the funds through local contributions and what they have saved as well as grant opportunities. And not raise the local mill levy. So let's just get that loud and clear so everybody has that from the get-go."
Fundraising for the project should commence this summer.

Advantages of a Couples Only Wedding:
1) A wedding for two, even including the travel costs, most of the time is much less expensive.
2) The focus of the wedding is on the two of you, not on pleasing everyone else.
3) If you still feel the need to please the family, have a reception when you get back home.
4) Honeymoon lodging is easy to find, from cabins like www.caneycreek.com to budget hotels to luxury resorts.
5) There are more wedding locations to choose from in our area for couples only.
That last statement about having more wedding locations to choose from... well, it's both a pro AND a con to eloping in the Smokies. The down side to this is that you are going to be overwhelmed while wading through the hundreds of wedding websites, and before long it's all going to be a blur.
All our brides say the same thing, "I was clicking on site after site until www.honeysucklehills.com popped up. All of a sudden I KNEW I had found the place I wanted to get married!" Why do we stand out so much? Because we are a wedding photography based destination venue. The one thing that lasts and matters most is the exact thing we excel at. Why? Because we have dedicated ourselves to photography for fifteen years. Full time. We don't do ANYTHING else.

Our staff will lovingly guide you through the ceremony and provide heart-warming images to enjoy from one location on our farm. Please understand the photography time is VERY short and limited in this package. It was created for couples who want to get married in a beautiful place and have charming, traditional photographs, but they don't want to spend the time required for variety and creativity.
Cost without the wedding album is $650
An Hour of Beauty 1200 All Days
Excellent choice for the couple who wants heart-felt, beautiful wedding images, but does not want the full adventure of scenes on the further reaches of our venue, such as the truck and mountain view

Wild Horses 1800 Wed-Fri 2000 Saturdays
Our most popular, this package is perfect whether you want the breathtaking images with our horses that are trained to run behind you, or if you simply want more photography time to assure you get the most variety possible. This reservation is a full hour and a half.
Cost without the wedding album is $1600 Mon-Fri or $1800 Saturdays
The Outdoor Adventure 2800 Wed-Fri 3100 Saturdays
Two hours of the most creative wedding images possible. This package allows for enough time to travel three short miles from Honeysuckle Hills to private property bordering the National Park.

Cost without the wedding album is $2600 Wed-Fri or $2900 Saturdays
Couples only reservations allow a more relaxed atmosphere for our creative imagery, as opposed to larger weddings with hundreds of on-looking guests demanding constant attention. This bride requested a "Lord of the Rings" themed image, because it was her favorite movie. Images such as the one above, on average, take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to photograph (factoring in props and lighting set up, and lighting and extinguishing the flames safely upon completion.) So do be sure to reserve at least an hour and a half to two hours with us if you'd like us to create a specialized theme for you, too.
Happy Anniversary! We also photograph destination vow renewals. Amanda and Mike married ten years prior in a courthouse setting, and did not have the money for professional portraits at the time. Ten years later they come to us for a renewal and photography session. Amanda wore the very same wedding dress! They chose a shorter reservation time with us. While this did not provide enough time for photography with the horses or for a themed image, we were still able to create timeless, classic portraits they will enjoy for decades more.

Featuring original Soul Stirrers, R.H. Harris, S.R. Craine, Paul Foster and artist Bruce Conner
The Soul Stirrers: By and By is a work-in-progress, feature-length documentary about the individuals and history behind the revolutionary gospel quartet, the Soul Stirrers, best known for their most charismatic member Sam Cooke. Founded in 1926 by Roy Crain in Trinity, Texas, the innovative quartet developed new vocal techniques and arrangements pioneered by their group leader, R.H. Harris, who became famous for his falsetto style and great influence on gospel, R&B, and secular music.
The filming began in 1984 when renowned artist and filmmaker, Bruce Conner (1933-2008) and Henry S. Rosenthal organized a reunion of original members from the group's golden era in the 1940's and '50's. Conner filmed the main figures of the group on location in Texas, Illinois, and California documenting rehearsals, performances, as well as intimate, personal interviews. The Soul Stirrers have a unique history as the first African-American traveling gospel group, made possible through relationships built from church to church while traveling through the repressive, segregated and threatening America of that time. Their story parallels discernible and dramatic changes in American society over eight decades. It remains important to finish this unseen document of one of the most influential groups in music history, and to bring the feature film envisioned by Bruce Conner to fruition.

Do I need to comply with building regulations?
All spiral staircases whether new or replacement need to comply with the UK building regulations - there are also special requirements for Spiral Stairs and Space Saver stairs which are detailed in BS5395-2, the British Standard which applies to staircases of this type, BS5395-2 is referred to in building regulations as the general standard for spiral staircases and helical stairs.
Spiral Staircase Dimensions under Building Regs BS5395-2
One aspect of UK building regulations is that it refers to British Standard BS5395-2 for most aspects of spiral staircase dimensions.
Generally the two key tread dimensions are:
Clear tread width - measured between the INSIDE of the handrail and the centre column - this should be a MINIMUM of 600mm
Tread riser height - this should be a MAXIMUM of 220mm to meet UK building regulations. Generally if you divide the total finished floor to finished floor height of your room (NOT floor to ceiling!) by 220mm this will give you the minimum number of risers in your staircase to meet building regs. If the result is not a whole number then you need to adjust to the next whole number above - e.g. if the result is 13.5 risers, you actually need 14 risers.
Please note most spiral staircases with height adjustment will have a quoted range of adjustment up to 230mm per riser - if you need to use a riser height above 220mm for any reason then we suggest you first contact your building control department for clearance.

Today while visiting the Pitch Pine Wetlands, I spotted my first ever Six-spotted Fishing Spider (Scientific name: Dolomedes triton Walckenaer). She did not seem to be bothered by my poking around. I think she was just patiently waiting for something to come by for her to prey on. From what I understand, this is a female because of her size, from leg-to-leg; she was about 2.5 inches. Males are smaller.
They are found throughout North America, from southern Canada to Northern Mexico and are more common east of the Rockies. They travel on the water surface like water striders, and will dive underwater to capture prey. They will eat anything that lives in water like invertebrates, tadpoles and even occasionally small fish. They will dive and hold on to underwater vegetation when frightened.
The females will lay their eggs from throughout the summer. The males conduct a ritual courting dance to attract a female, and after they mate, the female will many times eat the male, like a black widow. She then builds a spherical sac in which she lays her eggs. The egg sac is usually placed among vegetation and guards it until the young spiders hatch after about a week.

Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to, it's an absolute prerequisite.
Author: Marlon Brando (1924)
Profession: American Actor, Director
There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.
Author: George Eliot (1819-1880)
Profession: British Novelist
I've always been very zealous about not invading other people's private spaces.
Author: Peter Jennings (1938)
Profession: Canadian-born American TV Personality
Who could deny that privacy is a jewel? It has always been the mark of privilege, the distinguishing feature of a truly urbane culture. Out of the cave, the tribal teepee, the pueblo, the community fortress, man emerged to build himself a house of his own with a shelter in it for himself and his diversions. Every age has seen it so. The poor might have to huddle together in cities for need's sake, and the frontiersman cling to his neighbors for the sake of protection. But in each civilization, as it advanced, those who could afford it chose the luxury of a withdrawing-place.
Author: Phyllis McGinley (1905-1978)
Profession: American Poet, Author
Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place?
Author: Kate Millet (1934)
Profession: American Feminist Author
Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.
Author: Lewis Mumford (1895-1990)
Profession: American Social Philosopher
May we agree that private life is irrelevant? Multiple, mixed, ambiguous at best -- out of it we try to fashion the crystal clear, the singular, the absolute, and that is what is relevant; that is what matters.
Author: May Sarton (1912)

Okay at least I got your attention. Please somebody explain Twitter to me. I do not understand it. It's making me more dumb, I'm fairly convinced. Somehow I'm following VH1 and really don't care what/who Katie Perry is marrying, or how to get that perfect vintage hair-do she sports on the red carpet. Why is this information coming to me...how do I make it go away!
I am drowning in a pool of over-bearing detail obsessive life sucking social networking psychos!
If learning twitter means selling a greeting card, then I think I'll just eat all my artwork. (blasted internet ridiculousness).

Taking your business to the next level can be tough, but enlisting the help of other like-minded business owners is easier than you think. By Rebekah Kendal
Turning to the bank for a loan may seem like your only option, but more than 11.4 million people in South Africa do things slightly differently. Stokvels – which provide an informal way of saving or investing money – are built on trust between friends and associates. According to the National Stokvel Association of South Africa (Nasasa), there are more than 811 000 such groups in South Africa, saving a collective R44 billion a year.
One such group is the Boksburg Vosloorus Food and Beverage Association, formed in 2009. The group is made up of 90 members, all of whom are entrepreneurs – mostly liquor traders – operating in the Vosloorus area.
Neo Khoaripe, who handles communications for the association, says: 'Group discipline is always better than self-discipline. When you save with the group, you know you can't just rock up and withdraw your money, but have to adhere to the set withdrawal season.'
A lump-sum payout
The group is a multipurpose stokvel that has an investment element and a rotational element, giving members the opportunity to grow their businesses with a lump sum of money.
'We meet on Thursday, every week, and each member contributes R500,' explains Neo. 'Of the R500, R300 per member is given to the host of the day to help their business grow. Proceeds from the remaining R200 per member are spent on buying refreshments and food, which are prepared by the host, and then the remaining portion pays for the running costs of putting the event together.
'We also have a savings plan in which every member contributes a minimum of R100 per week that will go towards our group savings plan. Those savings become accessible to our members in January, annually.'
Collectively, the Boksburg Vosloorus Food and Beverage Association invests at least R9 000 each week, or R36 000 a month. By investing money together, members are able to use mainstream investment vehicles and earn more interest on their money.
'The only difficulty or challenge we face at the moment is that the banks don't give us a good return on our investment, but we're currently working on finding a better way of investing our money elsewhere.'
By the book
As well as providing a means of structured collective investment, the weekly meetings also provide an opportunity for entrepreneurs to network regularly and build relationships with other business owners in the industry.
Given that there are 90 members in the Boksburg Vosloorus Food and Beverage Association, a lot of money (R45 000 without the investment portion) is exchanged every week. The stokvel has a finance team, managed by the treasurer, who does all of its banking.
Although stokvels are based on a foundation of trust, it is important they are run properly so money isn't misspent. Most stokvels have constitutions that govern how money is contributed, collected, invested and distributed. Constitutions should also cover what happens when a member misses a contribution or if a new member joins the group.
Funny business
Where there is money to be made, you will no doubt find fraudsters, and the stokvel sector is definitely no exception. According to Miziyonke Mtshali, chief operations officer at Nasasa, the fraud you're most likely to encounter comes in the form of pyramid schemes.
'This is an unsustainable business model that promises people very high returns on little investments and effort,' says Miziyonke. 'They are get-rich-quick schemes that usually require you to pay a membership fee for the rights to sell a product, and for you to recruit other members in order to earn money.
'At least 85% of the people who join pyramid schemes will fail, and 100% of pyramid schemes eventually disappear, fail or are forced to shut down. A very small percentage of those who join a pyramid scheme will make any money… And this won't be you!' Miziyonke says.
Don't be tricked by common fraudster tricks
• An obligatory membership fee – usually under the guise of an admin fee – is asked for
• Your 'admin fee' may go towards buying stock of a certain product that you'll be required to sell to the public
• You'll have to recruit members in order to make money. The more you recruit, the more you will supposedly earn
• You'll be promised high returns, and told you can earn hundreds of thousands of rands a month.
Report fraud
Before you join a stokvel group, it is a good idea to check they are registered with the National Stokvel Association of South Africa (Nasasa). All stokvels are legally required to be registered. If you suspect the group is fraudulent, you can report them to Nasasa on 010 007 2129 or [email protected]

AEDM–In the Pink
I am learning to live in the pink! Pink used to be the color of "days off" in my planner. I would carefully highlight the "off" in pink. Pink is time to be me. Relax. My main job is blue. Sub-teaching green–for x-tra green in my pocket. Now time focused on my biz, photos, writing is yellow. Yellow is JOY! Pink, is still the goal. Pinks keep me light and open.
