Did Tibber's finder dump him? RIP TIBBER #PetTheftReform
Update 12th January 2019. We have some very sad news to announce.
Tibber has been found but unfortunately he is no longer with us.
He had obviously been with someone, he was clean and well fed. But whoever had him had dumped him and he tried to make his own way home.
He was found on a the railway. The vet suggested that he had been hit by a train and died instantly.
Although he has been missing for 3 weeks, he only died in the last couple of days. Which is very confusing and distressing for us his family.
Please respect our privacy at this time.
Thank you for all your help in sharing and liking this page, we will now be dedicating it to awareness of dog theft and what you can do to help prevent it.
We will love you Tibber forever. We miss you so much and are unbelievably heartbroken that you didn't make it home 💔
Thankyou Tibber for all the joy you have brought to me in your short life. You were so much fun and we shared so many lovely times together. I shall miss you dearly but want to reflect on the positive experiences we shared together rather than the sadness we have experienced at the end of your life. You were one in a million, I loved you so much, and you will be really missed. Rest in Peace little man.x
Thanks to everyone who has expressed their concern
Original newspaper story:-
A family have launched an appeal for help from the dog-lovers of North Staffordshire – after their beagle went missing on Christmas Eve.
Tibber, who is 19 months old, was last seen in the garden of his home near Lichfield Road in Stone at around 7pm on December 24,
Owner Imogen Hearn said they believed the dog, who is not wearing his collar, has been stolen – and Staffordshire Police have been informed.
She told StokeonTrentLive: "We searched for 5 hours in our local area and no sign of him at all.
"Our neighbour also has CCTV of an unknown car, we live on a cul-de-sac, driving down the road at around the time he went missing."
She added there had been a number of sightings of a similar-looking beagle in Newcastle town centre in the past couple of days.
In an online appeal, the family added: "Please can everyone look out for him. He is a very precious family dog."

Pneumonia cases that a common antibiotic can't cure are on the rise in the United States. It's part of a global trend: more and more germs are developing ways around the drugs used to treat them. Researchers at the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America presented data showing strains of the tough pneumonia germs also cause skin infections that are resistant to antibiotics. Jeff Hageman from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention co-authored the pneumonia study.
He says the hardy germs are striking younger, healthier people than normal. "We're seeing it cause skin disease among athletes, among prison populations, among military recruits, as well as children. We are seeing it also cause community-acquired pneumonia in otherwise healthy adults," he says.
Mr. Hageman says these cases are rare, but doctors need to be aware that the tools they used to use to fight these germs might not work anymore. Other antibiotics are available and may be necessary.

She is known for her independent films and documentaries, including one about Alexander Graham Bell. our editorial process Mary Bellis Updated January 25, 2019 These 10 innovators are just a few of the many Black Americans who have made important contributions to business, industry, medicine, and technology. 01 of 10 Madame C.J. Walker (Dec. 23, 1867-May 25, 1919) Smith Collection/Gado / Getty Images Born Sarah Breedlove, Madame C.J. Walker became the first Black female millionaire by inventing a line of cosmetics and hair products aimed at Black consumers in the first decades of the 20th century. Walker pioneered the use of female sales agents, who traveled door to door across the U.S. and Caribbean selling her products. An active philanthropist, Walker also was an early champion of employee development and offered business training and other educational opportunities to her workers as a means of helping her fellow Black women achieve financial independence. 02 of 10 George Washington Carver (1861-Jan. 5, 1943) George Washington Carver donated $33,000 in cash to the Tuskegee Institute to establish a fund to carry on the agricultural and chemical work he began. Bettmann / Contributor/Getty Images George Washington Carver became one of the leading agronomists of his time, pioneering numerous uses for peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Enslaved from the time of his birth in Missouri in the midst of the Civil War, Carver was fascinated by plants from an early age. As the first Black undergraduate student at Iowa State, he studied soybean fungi and developed new means of crop rotation. After earning his master's degree, Carver accepted a job at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute, a leading historically Black university. It was at Tuskegee that Carver made his greatest contributions to science, developing more than 300 uses for the peanut alone, including soap, skin lotion, and paint. 03 of 10 Lonnie Johnson (Born Oct. 6, 1949) Dr. Lonnie Johnson, president and CEO at Excellatron, but probably best known as the inventor of the Super Soaker,. Office of Naval Research/Flickr/CC-BY-2.0 Inventor Lonnie Johnson holds more than 80 U.S. patents, but it's his invention of the Super Soaker toy that is perhaps his most endearing claim to fame. An engineer by training, Johnson has worked on both the stealth bomber project for the Air Force and the Galileo space probe for NASA, as well as developed means of harnessing solar and geothermal energy for power plants. But it's the Super Soaker toy, first patented in 1986, that is his most popular invention. It's racked up nearly $1 billion in sales since its release. 04 of 10 George Edward Alcorn, Jr. (Born March 22, 1940) George Edward Alcorn, Jr. at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center / Wikimedia Commons / Public Domain George Edward Alcorn, Jr. is a physicist whose work in the aerospace industry helped revolutionize astrophysics and semiconductor manufacturing. He is credited with 20 inventions, eight of which he received patents for. Perhaps his best-known innovation is for an x-ray spectrometer used to analyze distant galaxies and other deep-space phenomena, which he patented in 1984. Alcorn's research into plasma etching, for which he received a patent in 1989, is still used in the production of computer chips, also known as semiconductors. 05 of 10 Benjamin Banneker (Nov. 9, 1731-Oct. 9, 1806) Historical marker honoring Benjamin Banneker at Benjamin Banneker School, Oella, Maryland, 1979. Afro Newspaper / Gado / Getty Images Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated astronomer, mathematician, and farmer. He was among a few hundred free African Americans living in Maryland, where enslavement was legal at the time. Despite having little knowledge of timepieces, among his many accomplishments, Banneker is perhaps best known for a series of almanacs he published between 1792 and 1797 that contained detailed astronomical calculations of his, as well as writings on topics of the day. Banneker also had a small role in helping to survey Washington D.C. in 1791. 06 of 10 Charles Drew (June 3, 1904-April 1, 1950) Minnie Lenore Robbins with NIH Director Donald Frederickson at unveiling of bust and exhibit honoring her late husband, Charles Drew, in 1981. Unknown Author / U.S. National Library of Medicine / Wikimedia Commons / Public Domain Charles Drew was a doctor and medical researcher whose pioneering research into blood helped save thousands of lives during World War II. As a postgraduate researcher at Columbia University in the late 1930s, Drew invented a means of separating plasma from whole blood, allowing it to be stored for up to a week, far longer than had been possible at the time. Drew also discovered that plasma could be transfused between persons regardless of blood type and helped the British government establish their first national blood bank. Drew worked briefly with the American Red Cross during World War II, but resigned to protest the organization's insistence on segregating blood from white and Black donors. He continued to research, teach, and advocate until his death in 1950 in a car accident. 07 of 10 Thomas L. Jennings (1791 - Feb. 12, 1856) Thomas Jennings holds the distinction of being the first African American to be granted a patent. A tailor by trade in New York City, Jennings applied for and received a patent in 1821 for a cleaning technique he'd pioneered called "dry scouring." It was a precursor to today's dry cleaning. His invention made Jennings a wealthy man and he used his earnings to support early abolition and civil rights organizations. 08 of 10 Elijah McCoy (May 2, 1844-Oct. 10, 1929) Elijah McCoy was born in Canada to parents who had been enslaved in the U.S. The family resettled in Michigan a few years after Elijah was born, and the boy showed a keen interest in mechanical objects growing up. After training as an engineer in Scotland as a teen, he returned to the States. Unable to find a job in engineering because of racial discrimination, McCoy found work as a railroad fireman. It was while working in that role that he developed a new means of keeping locomotive engines lubricated while running, allowing them to operate longer between maintenance. McCoy continued to refine this and other inventions during his lifetime, receiving some 60 patents. 09 of 10 Garrett Morgan (March 4, 1877-July 27, 1963) Garrett Morgan is best known for his invention in 1914 of the safety hood, a precursor to the gas masks of today. Morgan was so confident of his invention's potential that he frequently demonstrated it himself in sales pitches to fire departments across the country. In 1916, he earned widespread acclaim after donning his safety hood to rescue workers who were trapped by an explosion in a tunnel beneath Lake Erie near Cleveland. Morgan later would invent one of the first traffic signals and a new clutch for auto transmissions. Active in the early civil rights movement, he helped found one of the first African American newspapers in Ohio, the Cleveland Call. 10 of 10 James Edward Maceo West (Born Feb. 10, 1931) Johns Hopkins School of Engineering Professor Dr. James Edward Maceo West featured with a prototype of his research group's latest invention, a smart digital stethoscope with artificial intelligence algorithms. Own Work / Sonavi Labs / Wikimedia Commons / CC-BY-SA-4.0 If you've ever used a microphone, you have James West to thank for it. West was fascinated by radio and electronics from an early age, and he trained as a physicist. After college, he went to work at Bell Labs, where research on how humans hear led to his invention of the foil electret microphone in 1960. Such devices were more sensitive, yet used less power and were smaller than other microphones at the time, and they revolutionized the field of acoustics. Today, foil electret-style mics are used in everything from telephones to computers.

We've all been there. You need to sign up for something online. But, when you see the form, your mind starts swimming. There are countless fields. Several pages. It looks like it'll take more than 10 minutes to get through it!
In fact, you were probably surprised they didn't ask for an arm, a leg and your first born.
If you're trying to get somebody to fill out a form, their blood type or favorite color isn't necessary. Okay, I exaggerated that one a little bit.
But the point is this: You might catch more returns if you have shorter forms. (For long form vs short form, read this.)
Check out this infographic from Quicksprout.com to see how some of the numbers play out. I've listed out some of the quick hitters right here:
• Imagescape reduced their contact form from 11 fields to four. They then saw a 120 percent increase in conversions.
• Numbers spell doom for dropdown boxes. They lead to some of the worst conversion rates.
• Don't imply you're going to be calling the consumer. Make it optional.
o Simply adding the word optional to the phone number field had an effect. It caused their conversion rates to jump from under 43 percent to a whopping 80 percent.
The bottom line: less is more.
According to TIME, you have 15 seconds to get somebody's attention on your insurance website. Make sure it doesn't take 15 seconds to scroll through endless fields and questions.
Remember... Once they've submitted a form, you can always email if you need more information.

a day of designing...
Nothing like a day of designing to help get the mo jo back...I was asked by my friend Donna the owner of the Buffalo Nickel to help decorate her store a couple days this week. So, I jumped at the chance and my sweet husband took off the day to be with Addi...(he is the best!). We had a great time and it was fun to use my creative juices again! Here are some before and after pictures of the day! Merry Christmas!!! (it made me want to come home and get out the decorations!) I can't forget to thank Teresa over at Garden Antiques for nominating me for the "you make me smile" award! It made my day! the blogging blues have lifted...thanks to everyone else who left such kind and supportive comments! we are great friends!

So after reading through the thread because of my own concerns with an impossible calculation of my score, I began to wonder why so many 'active' community members were weighing in on the matter. oDesk should take note. For example how is it that Ramon, with a near perfect rating of 4.99 form an astonishing 89 jobs, has an 89% Success rating. Obviously there is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Mar 18, 2015 04:21:28 AM by Natalia G
I am beginning to see that a lot of people have this same problem, and it's not just me, which makes me think that oDesk will eventually take notice and do something, because I do not understand how it can be benefitial to them to lose freelancers that have been with oDesk for 5+ years , with excellent scores....quite the opposite, the more trusted freelancers they have, the more professional the site looks... I just don't get it...
Maybe I am just being naive but I am hoping this will get sorted and I don't have to start all over again at another site, throwin away all hard-earned my progress here...
Mar 18, 2015 05:30:18 AM by Setu M
Did you get any response Natalia? Garnor indicated you would be contacted personally re this matter. I am very concerned about how widespread the problem is, and the lack of action on oDesk's part.
I would like the 'problem' and 'sloution' made equally public, especially since tickets don't seem to work anymore.

There may be many circumstances where you will be put through painful situations, when you are put through unpleasant situations, you have to ask yourself whether it is worth it or not? If you decide it is worth it, then it would be wise to stick it out, however, if you decide that the pain is not worth it then you should take yourself away from the situation.
Making a choice
Everything in life is a choice; therefore, you should be wise when making even the smallest decision. For instance, if you want to put yourself through a serious of effective botox injections, you first need to decide if you want to go through with the procedure.
Or not because once you do go through a serious of effective botox injections in Singapore, the effects would be difficult to undo. Therefore, especially before you make a decision of things that are irreversible, you should be absolutely sure that you want to go through with it because if not you may regret your decision for the rest of your life.
How to be sure?
Before you go through with anything permanent you should first give yourself a practice round, to make sure that you will be ready for it. For example, before you get a tattoo, it would be a good idea to paste a drawing of your tattoo on your mirror. This way, you can look at it every day when you wake up in the morning and every night before you go to bed and if you find yourself getting sick of seeing the same drawing every day, then you would know that you are not ready to get a tattoo.
When you do decide to get a tattoo, it is essential that you are careful when you select the tattoo parlor. It is very important that you make sure that the tattoo parlor is not only clean but you should also make sure that the tattoo artists working there are competent, skilled and reliable. It would be wise to work with someone who has a lot of experience in the field because then they are less likely to make a mistake.
For yourself
If you do decide to get a tattoo, you should make sure that you are not getting it for the wrong reasons. For instance, it would be unwise to get one, just so that others would think you are 'cool'. If you want to get a tattoo, you should get it for yourself, therefore even if others do not like your body art, it would not matter to you and you will also be less likely to regret your decision.

Bangkok was our first stop on our South East Asia whirlwind adventure!
But after 6 nights in Bangkok we were ready to leave. When you start looking cynically at new guests that arrive in your hotel because they have the same fresh faced look of fascination as you had when you arrive you know it is time to move on…
OK, OK Bangkok wasn't that bad, but it is like no city we've ever been to. It's busy, hectic and really smoggy. By day three we were craving some of that fresh London air! And as tourists you get hassled… a lot. It's a real shame we don't look more thai… There was a lot we did like about Bangkok however. And I would definitely say we appreciated it more the second time we visited, after we spent 2.5 months backpacking. What we did like about Bangkok was that it was cheap, especially taxi rides when you can get it on the meter (always worth haggling for meter). Also the street food, some of the best food we had on our whole South East Asia trip was in Bangkok, Thailand.
And because of the amount of street food stalls it was the cheapest too. The same dishes are done differently every where in Thailand so make sure you try dishes more than once. Soi 9 is the place to go for street food and in our 10 things to do in Bangkok blog post.
Some of the bad side of Bangkok is the scams. We almost fell into the Great Grand Palace Scam which every travel guide warns you about. And one time we also paid a tuk tuk driver 50 baht to cross a roundabout. We thought we were further from Khoa San Road (the travelers' hub) than we were. All in all Bangkok is a city like no other, so go visit, eat, but don't stay too long.

Dortmund insist they have had no bids for Chelsea target Aubameyang
BY foxsports • June 30, 2014
Borussia Dortmund have denied receiving any interest in striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Reports in Germany and England had claimed that Chelsea has emerged as possible bidders for the Gabon international.
Aubameyang joined Dortmund last summer from St Etienne, and grabbed 13 goals in his debut campaign.
But Dortmund have been quick to deny claims of any interest in the 25-year-old.
Dortmund general manager Michael Zorc told BILD: "Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a player of Borussia Dortmund. We have received nothing in this respect."

As anyone who has read my equipment page will know, I don't travel with a tripod. There are a couple of reasons for this, the main one is I work at sea, the other is the structure I am standing on is also vibrating a lot with generators and motors always on the go, so night shots are almost never considered by me. That was until I saw this, it's some steel works somewhere on the coast, and my type of landscape. I like all this industrial stuff!
I managed to find a pipe to lean against and held as steady as I could, this was the result.

A Celebration of America's Independence!
Amcham Abu Dhabi Marks the 4th of July in an extravaganza marking the 240th anniversary of the USA's Declaration of Independence at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Canal recently. The event, which also highlighted US Memorial Day, was attended by over 500 business leaders, government officials, military officers and the greater American community.
HE Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan said, "Thank you for asking me to celebrate with you both Independence Day and Memorial Day, events as inseparable as the friendship between the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America. American residents in the U.A.E. contribute to this special relationship. Your daily strengthen the business, cultural, scientific, healthcare and energy sectors of our country.
Your knowledge, talent and energy have profoundly affected our worldview. At this global crossroads, our ability to be successful hosts to other people from every other nation in the world has benefited from a certain optimism, openness, understanding, friendliness, daring, and concern for each person as a unique individual.
All of these characteristics are distinctly American. We always have good reason to celebrate your Independence Day."
American Ambassador Barbara A. Leaf said,
"I am so proud to be with you here to reflect upon the 240th year since the founding of the United States of America, and to pay tribute to the American heroes who have safeguarded our country and the ideals for which we stand."
She also highlighted the key role that AmCham Abu Dhabi members play in the UAE business community, noting "AmCham Abu Dhabi has been at the forefront of making it possible for U.S. companies to succeed in the UAE.

Ferry can put up "Baby on Board" after special delivery Thursday
Washington State Ferries crews are used to delivering passengers, but a passenger named Lucy required a different kind of delivery Thursday.
A woman gave birth early in the afternoon on the ferry Tacoma midway from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. She had assistance from the ferry crew, as well as a paramedic, an OB-GYN nurse and a professional midwife, all of whom happened to be aboard.
"That was all the help we needed," Tacoma Capt. Ty Anderson said Thursday.
Ferry officers receive some training to assist with births, he added, "they just don't get to practice much."
An ambulance was waiting to transport the mother and baby to a hospital when the Tacoma arrived in Seattle, said WSF spokeswoman Marta Coursey. The mother's name and hometown weren't available Thursday, but Coursey confirmed the baby's name is Lucy.
"Everything went fine, as far as we know," Coursey said. "It was a good day for us. ... It's one of those days when you feel really good to work for the ferries."
Coursey said the woman was experiencing contractions at eight-minute intervals when she arrived at the Bainbridge terminal for the 1:10 p.m. sailing. Ferry workers were alerted to her condition and allowed her vehicle to board first.
Anderson said the crew was already having a hectic day. A water main broke Wednesday at Colman Dock, forcing the Tacoma to fill its water tanks Thursday at the Bainbridge terminal. The crew was pumping water onboard when the woman arrived, which put Anderson in an awkward position.
"I was trying to balance how much water we could take on with how much time she had," Anderson said.
Not much, it turned out.
Workers had just disconnected the water hose when the driver who'd brought the woman to the ferry told the crew the baby was on its way. The crew rushed the woman to a first-aid station in the second mate's office and made an announcement asking for assistance from any medical professionals aboard. While the volunteer passengers helped deliver the baby, Anderson and his crew throttled up the Tacoma's engines and made the crossing to Seattle in 26 minutes, shaving a few minutes off the usual time.
"We went way over our fuel quota for the day, but that's all right," Anderson said.
The Tacoma was delayed briefly at Colman Dock as the mother and baby were unloaded. Ferries ran late on the route Thursday afternoon.
Anderson said it had been many years since a baby was born aboard a ferry he was captaining. Lucy's birth is something he won't forget.
"When we can be a part of something like that, it's really special," Anderson said.

Red Mix
A traditional seven-spice mixture. A blend of red peppers, sansho pepper, roasted orange peel, black and white sesame seeds, seaweed, and ginger. A classic combination which is very useful to have around. Usually used on Japanese noodle dishes, such as Udon and Soba.

Like snowflakes, no two beans are the same, each pretty in their own right. And, as a group they are a wonderful source of nutrients. Perhaps best known as the main ingredient for
, the garbanzo bean has a multitude of uses including soups, and as an important ingredient in many East Indian dishes.
The irregular-shaped smaller beans are referred to as
and vary in color. With their thicker skin it is believed that there is a larger concentration of antioxidant phytonutrients present when compared to the rounder "kabuli-type" more commonly found at the grocer.
It may be the unusual combination of antioxidant phytonutrients combined with insoluble fiber that makes the garbanzo an important food source and potential fighter of heart and colon disease.

It is one of the great places on earth, this strangely beautiful land of humps and hollows. Created during the great ice age, the land seems to feed on the winter snows, swallowing the moisture as the snow pack melts, reserving it in the mounds for the crops to feed on during the following months.

Chosen by Food and Wine magazine oh-so many years ago as a favorite olive oil, and as a gift you can't go wrong with. It's still, without a doubt, one of our favorite estate olive oils from Italy.
This gold-green olive oil is intensely fruity on the nose, explosive, with bold notes of green vegetable and green tomato. It opens with a rich butteriness on the lips and tongue before giving way to olive and grassy notes.
Hints of artichoke, tomato, and a spiciness at the back of the throat give this oil a long, delightful finish. It's a full-flavored condiment olive oil with a Sicilian flair.
Try Pianogrillo on just about anything! Start with toasted bread and move on through soup, vegetable, and fish courses, all finished with Pianogrillo.

Have you ever played Star Wars: Battlefront? You have? Good, then you know exactly what to expect from Lord of the Rings: Conquest.
If you haven't, go to YouTube, watch a Battlefront video and when you see Obi-Wan Konobi, just picture Gandalf the Wizard instead. There you go; you know pretty much what to expect now.
Lord of the Rings: Conquest feels like a very well put together mod for Battlefront. This makes a lot of sense, considering it was made by the same team.
You play on either the side of good or evil, choose which class you want to be (Warrior, Scout, Archer or Mage – they are all exactly the same on both sides) and go forth with your fellow combatants to fight against the other side. Occasionally one player on each side will get to play as a hero character. The heroes all play as buffed versions of a certain class, sometimes with a few different animations.
The game consists of two single-player campaigns (which can be played in split-screen co-op). The first is the good side, which tells the movie-based story from Helm's Deep through to the end at the Black Gate. Once you complete this you get to play the evil side, which is a "what if" scenario where Frodo failed to destroy the ring, and was instead killed. You get to go through the same levels from the good side, but as the bad guys, and kill all the heroes (and hobbits).
It's definitely a treat that these two campaigns are included, and from a cinematic perspective they are put together very well. The game takes clips and music from the films and uses them to effectively re-tell the story. Plus you have Hugo Weaving (Elrond from the movies) doing narration with additional dialogue, which is always nice.
The downside to the single-player portion of the game is that firstly, the levels aren't very inspired. The design is fine, but you never really have to do anything particularly clever or interesting, so it all becomes extremely repetitive pretty quickly. Worse than that, it's frustrating as all hell! I don't mind a challenge in a game, but when you have to repeat an entire stage eight times because you keep dying and running out of lives at the last minute - that's just not fun any more. Especially when the reason for your death is getting knocked down by unavoidable attacks and then killed before you're able to stand back up.
Also, the difficulty is not consistent with the story or facts of the world. On this particular stage you constantly have two Ring Wraiths fighting you at all times. Whenever you manage to kill one, another is spawned near by and is soon on your heels. I may be wrong, but the movies gave me the impression that there were only about nine of these Ring Wraiths in the world right? So how the hell did I kill twelve of them and yet still had more coming to kill me… again?
As frustrating as that was, it's fair to remember that this game is primarily more about multiplayer than single-player. So how does it play online? Well that depends on your tastes really. There are three main modes, Deathmatch (which can either be regular, or straight up Hero Deathmatch), Conquest mode - where each time is trying to capture and hold certain points on the map for longer than the other team - and Capture the Ring, which is basically capture the flag, except the flag is a… well you get it right?
Unfortunately, Lord of the Rings: Conquest just isn't very inspiring. The four main classes are all well balanced and the best team will always have a healthy amount of each. They are all fairly fun to play and require different strategies. But at the same time, they all don't have a lot to do and you will find yourself doing the same things over and over again. Another sad thing is the graphics. This really just isn't a very good looking game. The textures are all pretty low quality, the models don't have too much detail and the animations, while good, never make everything feel alive.
If you just take a look at the recently leaked footage of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 you can see where the expectations should lie and that was a game in its Alpha stage. A large problem is that it just never feels like you're ever really connecting with the enemy players. Swords never sound like they are clashing. It all feels very artificial.
Lord of the Rings: Conquest isn't a bad game, it's just disappointing. It also doesn't offer anything for non-fans of the Battlefront series. That does however make the recommendation criteria easier; if you liked Star Wars: Battlefront and are a fan of Lord of the Rings, then you will probably enjoy this very much.
If the Battlefront games weren't your thing, then this probably won't be either.

If you're a peachy-keen Android/Motorola user, then you're no doubt jonesing for some upgrade action. Well, I have some good news and some not-so-good news on the matter.
Good news: Over the weekend, Motorola released their upgrade schedule, outlining which models will get which version of Android, and when.
Not-so-good news: I really wish I could tell you that you're all getting Froyo, but sometimes you just don't get the dessert you wanted.
So, who gets what when? Follow on through for the details.
North America
Droid X by Motorola (USA): Upgrade to Android 2.2 planned for late summer
Devour (USA): Will not have a software upgrade to Android 2.1
Backflip, Cliq and Cliq XT (USA): Upgrade to Android 2.1 (testing in process) planned for late Q3/early Q4
All Android 2.1 and 2.2 upgrades for Canada are under evaluation only. This includes the Backflip, Dext, Milestone, Quench
Milestone: Initial rollout of upgrade to Android 2.2 planned for Q4
Backflip and Dext: Will not have software upgrades to Android 2.1
Milestone, Motoroi and Titanium (all Korea): Initial rollout of upgrades to Android 2.2 planned for Q4
Milestone (Asia-Pacific): Upgrade to Android 2.2 under evaluation
Backflip, Dext and Quench (all Asia-Pacific): Upgrades to Android 2.1 under evaluation
Latin America and Mexico
Milestone: Upgrade to Android 2.2 under evaluation
Backflip and Dext: Will not have software upgrades to Android 2.1
So, like I said, it's not all good news, especially if you're in Canada.
Of course, the wonderful thing about Android is that someone, somewhere is probably porting a version of Froyo over to your phone, anyway. Doesn't that make you feel all warm and snuggly inside?

Well after Spiderman 3, it's not so difficult to imagine the masked crawly savior singing and dancing merrily. But if your better half enjoys musicals, and you want something more than a teary-eyed story, then you should be happy! The much-awaited Spider-Man will open on Broadway this December, and going by the fact that U2 members Bono would lend the music, the sound will definitely have a rock edge to it. Titled as "Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark," produced Michael Cohl, the story of Peter Parker played by actor and Carney singer Reeve Carney is touted to cost up to $50 million, making it the most expensive in Broadway history to date.
Jennifer Damiano is said to essay the role of Mary Jane Watson, while Alan Cumming will be seen as Normon Osborn & the Green Goblin.

"With Christ joy is constantly born anew"
Pope Francis
After consulting widely, three main areas of activity have been identified as areas for particular pastoral attention: Mission & Outreach, Spirit-Filled Worship, and Understanding our Faith. In each of these areas, five key activities have been selected. The areas and objectives are listed in detail later, and are here in short summary.
Some, like C1 (the diocese to have a comprehensive plan for catechesis) will be arranged primarily at diocesan level. C2 (formal accredited theology courses) are already organised via the OPRFM. Most, however, can only be effective when given attention locally in parishes, or by parishes working jointly within their Pastoral Area.

Anti-Flu Defense: Preparation and Prevention
Given the Corona Virus scare, I wanted to share my best advice for preparation (keep water by the bedside), and prevention (Vitamin D3, Zinc, coconut oil).
Healing the Knees
There are many ways to heal the knees that your Orthopaedic specialist won't tell you about–because their drug-company education never taught them!
Healing Liver Spots
A series of freckles, liver spots, or brown spots have been reducing in size, or effectively falling off and being replaced with more normal-looking tissue.
The old spots are raised, and get itchy. So after a bit of semi-conscious scratching I'm barely aware of, they come apart, and are replaced by a small red dot that looks like a small bug bite that's exposing a drop of blood. When they heal, the new spots are still pigmented, but are more of a reddish tan than a dark brown, and they're flush with the skin. And over time, those spots tend to integrate nicely with the surrounding skin, so the area becomes uniform in color.
Healing Varicose Veins, Edema, and Swollen Ankles
Varicose veins, swollen ankles, and edema can be treated with diet and exercise.
Healing Modalities for Skin Conditions
An Evaluation of Multiple Approaches
Skin conditions frequently have different names when they appear on different parts of the body, but are in reality the same condition. In this article, their metabolic causes are identified and addressed.
Rheumatoid Arthritis

PRP Proplotherapy vs. Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy literally means "look inside". At one time, about they only "medical" procedure they could perform (I use the term loosely) was a menisectomy (removal of knee cartilage). (What they didn't tell you at the time is that cartilage doesn't grow back!) Having been victimized by that very procedure, I do my very best to excoriate it, in this article.
Why You Want Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy causes your body to heal. It is particularly helpful for tendons and ligaments. Alas, it is not as helpful as I had hoped for restoring major amounts of cartilage inside the joints. But it is a protocol that in many cases should tried before submitting to the surgeries that
modern medicine is so proud of.

That was the first thing I noticed about my older brother when we sat down at the coffee shop - his skin tone was not fully of Han Chinese stock, but rather the coppery hue of someone from Southeast Asia. Indonesia, Fiji ... it's hard to place precisely his ethnicity, and the reunion was strange in so many ways.
I'm dreaming again of course - high-intensity R.E.M.-sleep that sends my imagination into overdrive nearly every morning. It's strange, how the mind accept the reality within the dream-world, however removed from our actual lives, as 'real' in the moment while the dream is in motion. There are a few persistent locations I've revisited multiple times in my dreams - familiar spots that (far as I know) do not exist in the real world but remain very real to me for seeing it so many times, in so many dreams. Familiar, comfortable places where I palaver with old faces, and sometimes new.
Darker. He's a half-sibling from my father, and after a long separation by events beyond either of our control, we were finally seated in front of each other after nearly two decades apart. Oddly enough, during this conversation I begin to 'remember' shared stories of our imagined childhood together - being teased by other kids ( within the east-Asian community, dark skin is associated with 'lower class' and 'cheap labor.' I guess some things - right or wrong - aren't all that different across the Pacific) for having a dark-skinned older brother, now feeling guilty for being ashamed of him. Children are cruel everywhere, but I felt a wave of intense guilt for playing along with the jeering schoolyard bullies instead of siding with my own flesh and blood.
He waves it off dismissively, with a rueful smile. We're family - we witness each other in our worst moments, and it's easy to condemn petty, vicious and thoughtless actions that punctuate our interactions ... if we don't have the character to forgive each other, what is the point? We talk about the precious few shared memories before our lives diverged across two continents, life-stories that took arcs both similar yet different as he wrestled with his own demons and enjoyed his own triumphs while I did the same.
I don't ask about his mother - I suppose at some level I don't really want to know - and he doesn't volunteer anything. There's an unspoken code that perhaps all twenty-year-separated-siblings agree to abide by, the cautious intimacy that comes with shared bloodlines and separate childhoods. At 40, he's old enough that adolescence is a distant memory, and we are able to laugh about events that seem so momentous to our teenage selves - and we talk in the sort of relaxed familiarity about our parallel lives in different worlds.
"It's good to see you again after all this time. Let's not wait another twenty years to do this again."
"I think I can promise that."
We embrace ...
and then I awoke.
Strange. Strange to exchange such an intense, intimate moment with someone who doesn't exist ... a wisp of imagination coalesing into a face and voice.
He said, "Go where you have to
For I belong to you until my dying day."
So like a fool, blue caravan
I believed him and I walked away.
Oh my blue blue caravan
The highway is my great wall
For my true love is a man
Who never existed at all
Oh he was a beautiful fiction
I invented to keep out the cold
But now, my blue blue caravan
I can feel my heart growing old
- Vienna Teng, "Blue Caravan"
Time for a 5 mile run along the beach to clear my head.

Bizarre claims coded 4chan post hinted at London terror attack and shared GPS co-ordinates the day before the slaughter
Cryptic post to online forum shared image of two guns and morse code 24 hours before attack that killed three
BIZARRE claims have emerged that a post on internet message board 4chan apparently "predicted" the Westminster terror attack a day before it happened.
At least three people including a police officer have died and around 29 others are injured after a terrorist mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and stormed Parliament.
The attacker, who was wielding knives, was shot by police after launching the terror attack in the capital on Wednesday afternoon, before dying in hospital.
Seven people remain in a critical condition.
Some social media users believe the attack was flagged by a post shared to a 4chan forum at around 3.00pm on Tuesday, which included the exact co-ordinates of the atrocity.
The post, which was shared on the site's "Politically Incorrect" message board by a user with the ID n1SoXPxb, featured an image of two guns and morse code.
To date, it is the only post by the user.
The morse code translated to a web page which revealed a GPS location on Westminster Bridge, which the attacker drove over.
For all the latest listen to Julia Hartley-Brewer
From 10am on DAB, via the talkRADIO app or online at talkradio.co.uk
It is unclear whether the post has anything to do with the attacker, who is as yet unnamed, and it made no explicit references to the date or nature of the terror attack.
But internet users were quick to make a connection between the post and the horrific attack after the news broke.
One user who followed the code wrote "Big Ben?" minutes after the post went live, a full day before the attack.
The user behind the post is believed to be located in Denmark, but may have obscured their location using a virtual private network (VPN).

Putting things in scale
Comments are closed.
|My initial thoughts when I heard about the windfarm, were "Great, – an excellent idea" then I saw just how big these things are.
In addition, according to the person from ScottishRenewables, they need to be placed laterally to the win direction 250m – 300m apart and in the wind direction 500m apart.
So a wind farm of 10 126m high turbines will occupy an abosulte minimum of 500m x 1,200m, each one takes up the spac
e of 20 football pitches – so the total farm will cover the area of over 200 football pitches
At 126 m tall look at this:

About Ants:
Ants are very social insects and are related to wasps and bees. This happened some 130 million years ago when they lost their wings. There are more than 22,000 Species of ants throughout the world today.
They can be identified by their antennae; Ants form colonies that can range in size from a few dozen to millions. Ants are organised in these colonies with workers and soldiers who all work together to form a very successful entity working for the Queen and to support the colony.
Ants have colonised almost every land mass in the world and can adapt very quickly to varying climates. They have the ability to quickly tap into resources and to defend themselves against predators
However, their ability to exploit resources brings ants into conflict with humans, as they can damage crops and invade buildings.

It has been an extremely cold December here in Vancouver. We have resorted to wearing snow boots and toques to the office. Emily just returned from two months in South East Asia so she has been feeling extra chilly. We used to spend our winters on the ski hill, but since both moving out west we have become quite accustomed to warmer winters.
With this crazy cold spell we are having we also wanted to share our favourite items to help keep you warm this winter. Most of these items we are looking to score on Boxing day!
Equip yourself with a cozy coat! There is almost nothing worse than braving the cold in a jacket that doesn't keep you warm. We are especially fond of Fjallraven coats. They are durable, timeless, and functional. Some of our top picks are:
Keep the heat in with a warm toque / beanie. Something that covers your noggin' and your ears are key. Frozen ears are not happy ears.
Lastly, make sure your face, hands and feet are toasty. These three items are essential in keeping warm and are also super cute!
Some of our favourite things to do to stay warm this winter are:
1. Have a cup of coffee or tea, preferably from Blenz
2. Wear the thickest socks or slippers you own
3. Snuggle with a loved one or pet
4. Throw on the comfiest sweater you have
5. Curl up by a fire with a BIG glass of wine
Have a warm and happy holidays!

The ESOC Theatre Group has introduced some improvements as for the play selection process within the Group. This ensures increased transparency, fairness and hopefully an exciting competition for the play selection for April 2015.
Yes, the call is open!
If you wish to be considered as a Director for the April production then please email us with your proposed choice of play by the end of July. We are looking for both full length plays and also one act plays as we may well decide to apply to compete at FEATS in Hamburg next year (May), but we will consult on that decision later in the year.
What happens after the submission?
During August and September all proposed plays will be read at a Stammtisch. A play selection sub committee will assess all the proposals and make recommendations with a final decision being made by the end of October. This way casting and rehearsals can begin in good time. Once all proposals have been received we will again put them on the web and ask for your votes and comments (members only).
If you are proposing a play, please send you proposal to email@example.com and not to the general Theatre Group email address.

'Supergirl' Will Now Feature a Transgender Superhero
Comic Con 2018 was full of treats for fans, and one of the biggest ones was the announcement of a new character on the CW's Supergirl, who will be a transgender superhero.
Comic Con 2018 ended less than 24 hours ago, and the cult event featured some pretty amazing characters, actors and also news from several shows. One news piece that's making buzz in the Comics world is the announcement that CW's hit show, Supergirl, will now feature a transgender superhero.
Source: gettyimages
Nicole Maines, a transgender actress and activist, will portray the first character of its kind in Supergirl's fourth season and will make TV history in the new role. Maine's character is named Nia Nal/Dreamer Girl, who was described as 'a young transgender woman with a fierce drive to protect others.'
Maines is no stranger to the trans rights issue, that has been a part of her life for as long as the 21-year-old has been alive. In 2014, Maine's family won a case in the Maine Supreme Judaical Court, after suing her school that barred her from using the girls' washroom. She also appeared in the show Royal Pains as a teen who was transitioning by using hormones that were risking her life.
Source: gettyimages
She also appeared in a 2016 HBO documentary called The Trans List as part of 11 individuals who spoke about their lives as transgenders. Following the casting announcement, Maine gave an interview to Vanity Fair, during which she said "We've had representation on television for a while, but it hasn't been the right kind of representation. Now, it's very hopeful and relieving to watch creators and writers and directors and casting offices stepping up to put trans people in trans roles, so we can portray ourselves and we can start to disprove some of those stereotypes about us."
Season 4 of Supergirl is scheduled to return in mid-October 2018 and it will give fans another character to relate to with Maine's new and exciting role.

Central pulls away from Greenwich
Recommended Video:
BRIDGEPORT -- The Bridgeport Central boys basketball team failed to make the postseason last year for the first time in recent memory, and the Hilltoppers are determined to make it only a one-year absence.
Central is one step closer to securing a spot in the Class LL playoffs and is now firmly in the mix for a FCIAC playoff berth after a 61-45 win Tuesday at home over Greenwich.
"We talked about it the other night after the Bassick game. We laid it on the table and said, `If you are serious about playing in late February and March you got to get it going right now,'" Central coach Barry McLeod said. "We practice all year long for this and it is not fun to sit up in the stands and watch. Last year was the first time in a long time we were home."
The Hilltoppers (7-3) came out determined to turn the game into a track meet, but Greenwich remained patient early and kept the game at its pace in the first quarter.
Things changed in the second quarter as the Hilltoppers opened the frame with a 20-4 run that all but buried the Cardinals (9-3), who trailed 37-23 at halftime.
Central scored 22 points in the second, with five players scoring at least four points.
Tyler Ancrum led Central with 17 points, 10 in the third quarter, and Josh Wilkerson added 16.
Central picked right up where it had left off after halftime, outscoring Greenwich 18-3 and never allowing the Cardinals a glimmer of hope of getting back into the game.
Central led by as much as 57-30 before calling off the dogs in the fourth quarter.
"It was a really big game for us because they are higher in the standings for the division," Central's Yassar Abdullah said. "We wanted to win to show we are one of the top teams in the FCIAC. We wanted to get them tired at the beginning of the game so they would turn the ball over a lot, so that's what we did."
Central is no longer looking up at the Cardinals in the West Division as both teams are now sitting at 7-3 in conference play.
Greenwich seemed to get more frustrated as the game wore on as shots failed to fall and turnovers mounted.
"We didn't know how to play with that team," Greenwich coach Bill Brehm said. "We have a game plan to play with that team and we can't run up and down with them and we tried to run up and down with them and we can't do that and that is not our style of play."
Greenwich must now refocus as the new West Division leader, Westhill, comes to town Friday.
Brehm know the Cards will see more of the same and will have to adhere to their strategy if they hope to defeat the offensively potent Vikings.
"Same game plan, but hopefully different execution," Brehm said. "I told them this was a tough place to play but there is no reason we should not have beat that team. Are they good? Yeah, but not unbeatable."
Central 61, Greenwich 45
Jahedh Somerville 0 2-2 2; Josh Wilkerson 8 0-3 16; Tyler Ancrum 8 1-2 17; Robert Blackwell 2 0-2 4; Yassar Abdullah 1 1-2 3; Sha'Quan Bretoux 3 0-0 7; Kimeri Greer 3 0-2 6; Marcus Blackwell 3 0-0 6. Totals: 28 4-13 61.

Spring has sprung, and for many of us, thoughts turn not to love, but to our closets. More specifically, what's in our closets. We get excited about the thought of packing away the sweaters, snow boots, and fleeces, and pulling out the warm weather clothes.
Before diving in and choosing a springtime look, though, how about doing some spring cleaning? Use the change of seasons as an opportunity to prune and polish your wardrobe. We've put together a handy guide of things you should buy, things you should keep wearing, and things you should toss this spring season.

USB-connections are becoming common on most routers today. A popular usage scenario is connecting a USB storage device like a USB-pen or hard-drive and share the content on your LAN. This recipe will guide you through how this can easily be set-up using the Luci web-interface.
You will find detailed walk throughs for USB-storage and Samba respectively. At a minimum, you will need to install the packages:
In addition you will need support for the file system you format the USB device with. For ext file-systems install kmod-fs-ext4, for btrfs install kmod-fs-btrfs. Avoid using ntfs from Microsoft, it lacks a couple of important features for file-systems. But if you still want to use it, install ntfs-3g in order to have read & write access.
Whether it is a USB pen or a hard-drive. Simply plug it in the USB port, and it should show be automatically detected by OpenWrt (if you ssh into the router you will typically find a new entry /dev/sda for the device, and /dev/sda1 for it's first partition). Now go to the Mount points tab under System in the Luci web-interface. You will find your USB storage device listed already as show below. If you have formatted your drive with the Ext file system, all you need is to tick Enable and then Save & Apply.
Mount points is only visible if dependencies are already installed
In my case I used the btrfs filesystem due to it's advanced functionalities. In this case you will need to change the file system. Choose Edit, and you will be able to revise like this:
We will only show how to do simply sharing here. Samba supports advanced access policies, but this recipe is meant for the most common use case. Please consult the Samba howto for a more thorough walk-through.
Open the web-interface Luci, under Services choose the Network Shares tab. Here you will need to fill in the name of your shared folder as it will appear on you network. In our example we called it Share. You will also need to fill in the mount point from above, we used the default /home. You will also need to tick Allow guests (otherwise setting up user access control is necessary). Also tick Read-Only is you only want to grant read access for clients on you local network, we allowed write access here:

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
"He sends you flowers when what you really want is time to talk. She gives you a hug when what you really need is a home-cooked meal. The problem isn't your love--it's your language! In this international best seller, Dr. Gary Chapman reveals how different people express love in different ways. In fact, there are five specific languages of love: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to your spouse. But here, at last, is the key to understanding each other's unique needs. Apple the right principles, learn the right language, and soon you'll know the profound satisfaction and joy of being able to express your love--and feeling truly loved in return."
My Review:
I love this book! I've read it several times, and each time I read it I get something new out of it. The first time I read it, I couldn't believe how accurate it was, and I tried to put the principles into practice. I thought I was. But then my husband kept getting upset about a certain situation every time it happened. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. So, I went back and reread this book. Then it clicked! Oh my. Yes, I'm a little slow. But, once I figured out how to speak his love language, it has been so much better. I knew his love language before, it hadn't changed, but it took me awhile to figure out how to speak it in his way. It's so simple, yet so complex. Loving someone should be easy, right? Well, it's even easier if you know how to do it according to what that person wants and needs. There is a quiz that you and your spouse can take to determine your love languages, and then there is a whole chapter devoted to each love language. It's written well and is easy to understand. He uses lots of real life examples of people that he has worked with, and they are very helpful. What's great is that it takes things that our spouses might "nag" us with, and it puts them into perspective. So, if your wife keeps nagging you to do things around the house, then her love language may be acts of service. Maybe you've been bringing her home flowers often and you can't figure out why she's still upset, it's because gifts is not her love language, acts of service is. Does that make sense? I love it. It's also great because the same principles apply to our children. You don't need to give the children the quiz, once you know the languages it's pretty easy to spot them in your children. For example, I have one child that needs words of affirmation constantly, while another constantly wants hugs. Do you see how that works? That way you can make sure you're speaking your spouse's love language and also your kids so everyone feels loved in their own way. If you are married or in a dating relationship I highly recommend this book.
Rating: R (It does talk a lot about "intimacy" between husband and wife.)
Recommendation: College and up. I don't think high schoolers need to read it, unless they will be getting married shortly after....
