Onto my 5 things for this week!
1. My Gladiolus is Growing!
Cam got a gladiolus bulb for teacher appreciation day and I planted it in this old flower pot of mine using dollar store soil (amazing place to buy dirt if you only need a small bag- FYI!). I really didn't know if it would grow because I have a bit of a black thumb but after two weeks it actually sprouted! It is actually even bigger now than when I took this photo a few days ago.
Fun Fact- up until I looked up how to plant this thing, I thought these were called gladiolas. I feel like my whole life is a lie now...
2, I Got a New Bathroom Faucet!
I love my Delta Trinsic faucet in the kitchen, so when the bathroom faucet started leaking, I was more than happy to shell out some dough for the bathroom Trinsic model to replace it. I didn't really realize it when I ordered it, but it is really the exact mini replica of my kitchen faucet (minus the pull-out sprayer). Can a faucet be cute? Because this one makes me go "aww". I even ordered the matching towel bar, towel ring, and toilet paper holder. I feel so adult with my matching bathroom set. Now I just need to install everything. That should be fun.
3. I am Going to See Princess Pop this Weekend with my Niece
My Niece is 3.5 years old now and I have been waiting all these years to be able to take her out on fun auntie & Maddy adventures and finally she is old enough! I saw an ad for this play in Toronto with all the Disney princesses in it and I knew she would love it. Plus, after the show we get to MEET THE PRINCESSES!!!! I am actually a pretty big Disney fan so I feel like this will be fun for both of us.
4. I Painted My Bedroom- Sneak Peek For You!
There will be a full reveal on the blog- next week hopefully if lighting cooperates- but I painted my bedroom finally! I did half the room on Tuesday night and the other half on Wednesday night! I love how it turned out!! The colour looks super different under various lighting too, so hopefully I can get a somewhat true representation with my good camera (this was iphone). It is kind of a light bluey-green colour, leaning more towards the blue side of things. It looks almost white in natural, bright sunshine, but quite turquoisey under lamp-light.
I saved the best for last! My best friend Steph had a sweet little baby girl on Wednesday and I am soooo excited to go and meet her soon. I won't go into Steph's private life, but this baby was a long time coming and a total miracle and I actually teared up with joy when she arrived safely. I can't wait to one day take her to meet the Disney princesses too :). Being an auntie is awesome.
PS- how is it June on Monday? I swear May just started...

SAN DIEGO — On November 9, craft beer lovers will rejoice as Bay City Brewing Co. releases beer in bottles for the first time. The chosen beer comes from the brewery's new Ctrl+Shift+Del series — a series of barrel-aged beers that age in former wine barrels. The series will debut its first beer, Bear Coltridge, in a limited supply of 750-milliliter bottles.
According to Bay City Brewing Co., Bear Coltridge is an amber beer that was aged on passionfruit in former wine oak barrels for eight months. The beer uses eight strains of Brettanomyces to produce a fruity flavor that compliments the tart fruitiness of the passionfruit and nicely contrast the mild malt sweetness of the base beer. The following beers in the Ctrl+Shift+Del series will age in a variety of barrels for several months and release on a barrel-by-barrel basis.
"With our Ctrl+Shift+Del series, we can experiment with beer varietals, barrels, fruits and microorganisms to release batches of beer that allow us to showcase our creativity. " said Bay City Brewing Co. Head Brewer Chris West. "Bear Coltridge has a funky flavor, making it the perfect beer to kick off bottling at Bay City Brewing Co."
As if the barrel-aged beers needed more character, Bay City Brewing Co. teamed up with local artist Richard Paul Kunz to create custom, hand-painted labels for each beer. Kunz initially showcased his artistic talents at the brewery's Community Art Show where he featured a wide array of artwork. Shortly thereafter, the brewery asked him to design special labels to use for the barrel-aged brews.
The Ctrl+Shift+Del series launch party begins at 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 9, featuring live music and tasty bites to celebrate this milestone for Bay City Brewing Co. One hundred bottles of Bear Coltridge will be available for participants to purchase during the celebration — limit two bottles per person. No tickets are required for the San Diego Beer Week event — just a love for experimental craft brews in creative bottles.

text: Charles Dickens's classic A Christmas Carol has had significant influence on our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and the season as a time for celebration, and charity.The story tells of sour, stingy, miser Ebenezer Scrooge, whose name is now synonymous with greed and parsimony, believes Christmas to be "humbug." Refusing to donate any of his fortune to the poor, and states "I don't make merry myself at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry." The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. However A Christmas Carol has proved one of his most well loved works. Written and published in early Victorian Era Britain, a period when there was both strong nostalgia for old Christmas traditions and an initiation of new practices such as Christmas trees and greeting cards.Dickens's sources for the tale appear to be many and varied but are principally the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales. The tale has been viewed by critics as an indictment of 19th-century industrial capitalism.It has been credited with restoring the holiday to one of merriment and festivity in Britain and America after a period of sobriety and sombreness

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A Poughkeepsie high school senior died suddenly, after he was bitten by a tick and contracted a severe virus.
As CBS 2's Jennifer McLogan reported, Joseph Elone's family said doctors had been treating their son for a summer cold – until he collapsed on the front lawn.
WEB EXTRA: CDC Information On Lyme Disease | CDC Information On Powassan Virus
Elone, 17, was actually a ticking timebomb. He was completely unaware that he had contracted an emerging and rare tick-borne disease.
Identified as Powassan virus, the disease is thought to be transmitted into the bloodstream within minutes of a tick bite.
"Powassan virus can enter the blood within 15 minutes, but this was a measure they learned using mice as a study, so we can't know exactly how it works with humans and how quickly it works," said Dr. Jody Gangloff-Kafuman of Cornell University.
Gangloff-Kaufman, who is also a pest scientist for New York State, showed CBS 2 the belly of a microbe-carrying infectious tick. She said the symptoms of Powassan can mimic those of the West Nile virus – leaving no telltale marks until the sudden onslaught of encephalitis.
Mosquito-borne encephalitis is what was thought to have killed George Cody of Carle Place, Long Island. But his widow, Barbara –- who will not leave home without long pants and sleeves and bug spray – has been wondering if ticks and Powassan played a role.
"We never saw markings on him–48 hours," she said. "He just became catatonic, actually,"
Since hearing about the worrisome scourge of West Nile, and now Powassan, the Giambalvo family of Babylon has decided to take on changes.
"I went in the house screaming," said daughter Sabina, who had suffered a bug bite.
It turned out the bite was nothing serious. But Sabina's father, Enzo, remained vigilant.
"We check for ticks, her hair when we give baths; we check the whole body to see if we see anything of concern," Enzo Giambalvo said.
Doctors advise taking no chances if you have trouble breathing or experience disorientation.
"Severe headache, fevers, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches" are also signs of danger, said Dr. Susan Donelan of Stony Brook University Medical Center.
There is currently no treatment for Powassan, which is fatal in 30 percent of cases. New York State lawmakers are now pushing for more federal dollars to combat the illness.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has reminded the public just how dangerous the virus can be.
"It's not your average Lyme disease. It's transmitted within 15 minutes of the bite. Lyme disease, if you see a tick on you and pull it off within 24 hours you won't get it," Schumer said last week of Powassan virus. "For Powassan, you have a one out of three chance of actually dying if you get bitten by it. It's a deadly disease and there is no cure."
Most of the cases of Powassan so far have been recorded in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions.
Doctors advise using repellent when you are outdoors, and wearing long pants and sleeves to protect from ticks and mosquitoes.
Doctors were set to host a forum on Powassan – as well as West Nile and Lyme disease – at the Seaford Library Monday night.

Fedora-Hats, once associated with the 1930s and 1940s gangsters are back. Frank Sinatra era film stars wore Fedora-Hats Hats that were essential men's wear are once more a fashion item for men of all ages.
What is a Fedora-Hat?
A fedora is a hat, usually made of felt, that has a wide brim, which is usually pinched at the front on both sides. It has a crease along the length of the top. All Fedora-Hats have a hat band, often of a contrasting color. Fedoras come in many colors, but grey, brown and black are the most common colors worn by men. Women's Fedora-Hats come in every color of the rainbow.
A felt hat such as a fedora is made by moulding felted wool fabric over a block. Originally Fedora-Hats were sold without a crease in the top, users put their own crease in after buying one.
The years since 1965 have been the only years in history that hats have not been compulsory items of dress for men. Even in the 1960s a man would not dream of going out of the house without a hat. Paintings and old photographs show illustrate the universal hat-wearing culture that existed in USA and Europe.
Hats might have been essential to keep peasants' heads warm five hundred years ago, but they were largely a fashion item for the gentry.
Designs of hats for men and women have always differed, with women's hats being larger and often with many embellishments such as flowers and feathers.
The past fifty years may be seen as an aberration in the pattern of hat fashion. Over the past thousand years these years have been the only ones in which men could go out with bare heads.
Hat wearing is now becoming fashionable once more, and though not yet compulsory wear in polite society, they are no longer the cause for comment that they were just a few years ago.
History of Fedora-Hats
The Fedora-Hat is named after Princess Fédora, the heroine of a 19th Century play named Fédora. In the play the princess wore a hat similar to a modern fedora.
These hats were a fashion item for women between about 1890 and 1907.
They were commonly worn by men in USA in the 1930s and 1940s and are often associated with gangsters of the Prohibition era, as well as with film stars like Gene Kelly and Humphrey Bogart.
Fedora-Hats have been increasing in popularity again over the past ten years.Micheal Jackson's trademark black and white fedora gave this style of hat a big boost among young people.
Why Did Fedora-Hats Disappear?
Felt-hats became unfashionable on the West Coast of America in the 1950s, though men on the East Coast continued to wear them until the 1960s. They became unfashionable as the 'jeans look' came in. A fedora ione to wear when dressed smartly, rather than casually. The casual look probably played a large part in the general demise of hat-wearing.
It is also difficult to drive a car in a Fedora-Hat, the brim limits your head movement. In today's cars, with head restraints built into seats. It is impossible to drive while wearing one, because the back of it's brim crushes against the headrest.
Where Can You Buy a Fedora-Hat?
You can buy from a local specialist hat supplier, or you can buy online.
There are two ways of determining hat size. You can try them on until you find one that you like the fit of, or you can measure the circumference of your head in centimetres.
Traditionally hat sizes ranged from 5 3/4 to 9 1/2 and you just had to guess your hat-size unless you already had one that fitted. Modern hat sizes are much simpler, being the circumference of it, and head, in centimetres.
Measuring yourself is tricky, though all the websites tell you how to do this. Returns are possible to Internet suppliers, but customers' postage expenses may be substantial. This is one area where a local supplier is a good option. Hat sizes are supposed to be universal, but a Size from onemaker will be different from another maker's Size 7.
Sizing difficulties are compounded by the range of individual tastes in terms of how tightly a hat should fit and how low on the head it should be worn.
Why Should You Buy a Fedora-Hat?
Hats are a no longer an essential item of dress as they were fifty years ago, they are now a luxury or fashion item. If you choose to wear a Fedora-Hat you are making a fashion statement, stating your individuality through this choice.
Fedora-Hats associated with particular groups of people. Jazz enthusiasts often wear Fedora-Hats as do certain religious groups, such as certin groups of Orthodox Jews.
When you buy a Fedora-Hat you are buying the image that Hollywood has attached to it. Many films have featured 'tough guys' wearing fedoras. The typical Hollywood detective still wears a long coat and a Fedora-Hat. People who follow Indie music often take up this style of hat as a statement of their choice of music.
Problems with Wearing Fedora-Hats
When travelling through airports people wearing any kind of hat are asked to remove them, so if you are wearing a hat to cover up a lack of hair, you could be embarrassed.
The wind catches under the wide brim of a Fedora-Hat and they blow off easily.
Restaurants no longer have hat stands, so the only place to put your hat is on a chair next to you.
Hats show every mark and cleaning any felt hat is expensive and a job for a specialist.
All felt hats need to be stored in their boxes to prevent them becoming dusty or crushed.
Although a Fedora-Hat protects your head from the rain, if it becomes too wet, it will lose its shape and be ruined.

The FINANCIAL -- In the first six months of 2018, Porsche AG increased its operating result, revenue, deliveries and number of employees.
The operating result increased slightly, by one per cent to EUR 2.2 billion, while revenue rose by four per cent to EUR 12.3 billion. The operating return on sales was 17.5 per cent. In the first half of 2018, deliveries increased by three per cent to 130,598 vehicles; the workforce grew by five per cent to 30,785 employees, according to Porsche.
"Our performance in the first half of the year has given us a strong basis for a successful 2018 financial year", said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. "It is particularly pleasing to note that the iconic 911 is in such demand, given that this year we are celebrating '70 years of the Porsche sports car'. We are also continuing to invest in the future of our brand: Electrification, digitalisation and connectivity are major challenges that we are choosing to view as an opportunity. Next year will see the market launch of the Taycan, the first purely electric Porsche. It will set standards for the future of mobility", said Blume.
In terms of vehicle deliveries, the Panamera saw the greatest increase
CFO Lutz Meschke believes that positive mix effects and development in areas beyond the vehicle business–such as After Sales and the consulting services MHP and Porsche Consulting–all made a positive contribution to the result. Offsetting this were the considerable investments in future topics such as electrification and in developing new business areas.
In terms of vehicle deliveries, the Panamera saw the greatest increase in the first half of the year: By the end of June, Porsche had delivered 20,500 units of the four-door sports car to customers, almost double the figure from the same period in the previous year. The 911 also saw double-digit growth with an increase of 28 per cent, amounting to 21,400 vehicle deliveries. The highest-volume series continue to be the Macan with 46,600 vehicles delivered and the Cayenne with 28,700 deliveries. In its home market of Germany, Porsche saw an increase of eleven per cent in the first half of 2018 and nine per cent in Europe as a whole. China remains the strongest individual market for Porsche with 33,363 vehicles delivered, ahead of the USA (29,421 vehicles).

As part of uploading my short stories onto this site, I had a clear idea of how I wanted them to be laid out. I wanted them to be accessible via a drop-down menu; allowing readers to quickly and simply navigate to any particular tale they wished, and avoiding clogging up my blog/news pages with huge posts.
Unfortunately, there is yet to be invented the technology to plug a computer into my brain and have it simply render whatever I happen to be imagining. That would be nice, but those clever people who write computer software seem to be against the idea of creating something that would put them out of a job; and so I must live in a world without the ability to look at the screen, think 'put drop-down menu here' and have it appear. But such is life.
So therefore, in my quest for a drop-down menu, I was forced to spend a whole day trawling the internet for tips and assistance. I consider myself computer literate, but one field I pretend no mastery of is how to play with the code. I can use most programmes, but actually breaking them down to the Matrix and telling them what to do it a little beyond my scope.
So, to cut a long story short, I spent the entire morning scouring the 'net looking at tech forums and help sites, trying to discover the secret behind drop-down menus. I found page after page instructing people how to install add-ons, or telling them which piece of code to subtly alter to get the desired effect. The problem was each of these posts seemed to assume that everyone was as comfortable with computer programming as the poster.
Then, after lunch, I at last found a simple tutorial that showed how to create drop-downs in a few easy steps. Simple. No fuss. It all boiled down to ticking certain box when I posted. Simple, but infuriating after searching all morning through people who couldn't think down to my level!
But then just one more piece of information reared its head; not all WordPress templates would allow drop-down menus. And guess what? The one I was using was one of those. Damn it…
And so the website has gone through a change. Change is good. I do like to shake things around every so often. It keeps things feeling fresh. Admittedly this one was forced upon me, but I like the new look, and it has allowed me to lay things out as I wanted.

WEST CHESTER, PA — Pastor Josh Roberts of the Christian Life Center in New London recently served as Pennsylvania Senate Chaplin for the day at the invitation of state Senator Andy Dinniman.
Dinniman invited Roberts and his family to visit the state Capitol in Harrisburg and lead the Senate invocation as a representative of the Christian Life Center, which currently serves hundreds of members in southern Chester County.
"It was a great and inspiring experience. And it brought me a sense of relief to see some civil discourse and hospitality on the floor of the legislature," he said. "In addition, I was grateful to learn the historical significance of the Capitol building and know that some of the things that William Penn did more than 300 years ago continue to have an impact today."
Roberts also thanked Dinniman for giving him and his family a personal, behind-the-scenes tour of the historic capitol building.
The Christian Life Family Center, one of the largest churches in the region, traces its roots to the New London Presbyterian Church, which has a rich and storied history that coincides with the birth of the United States.
The New London Presbyterian Church was founded by Francis Alison, who in 1743, also opened the New London Academy, a free school that taught logic, ethics, metaphysics, classical languages, history, rhetoric, math, and science. There, Alison personally instructed several prominent leaders and statesman including three signers of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1751, Alison left the New London Academy at the behest of Benjamin Franklin to serve as vice provost of the College of Philadelphia, which would later become the University of Pennsylvania. However, in 1767 he returned to New London and led students to expand and relocate the institution to Newark, Delaware where it eventually became the University of Delaware
Dinniman, a historian and educator by trade, said he enjoyed discussing the history of both the church and the Pennsylvania Capitol building with Roberts.
"I want to thank Pastor Roberts for joining me on the Senate floor and offering an inspirational prayer and a positive message to the legislature," Dinniman said. "I look forward to continuing to work with him and his congregation on ways to engage the community in various areas of need."
Originally from Georgia, Roberts, 38, grew up in the church as the son of a retired pastor.
Prior to coming to the Christian Life Center, Roberts planted churches in northwest Georgia before overseeing campus development of a large church in Montana.
He has an undergraduate degree in math education and a degree in Bible education ministries, as well as a master's degree in theology from Liberty Baptist Seminary. He is currently working on his doctorate in Christian leadership.

The Challenge
Trucking accounts for over 70% of the movement of goods in the US alone, comprising a $726 billion market, yet it is highly volatile in pricing and capacity and dependent on offline practices, impacting many of the day-to-day transactions that consumers depend on. Autonomous driving technologies are developing rapidly in the heavy truck industry, and some claim these will be commercialized sooner than passenger mobility due to the clear economic incentive for their commercialization. AV technologies make business sense for heavy trucks: risks of accidents can be minimized, fuel consumption can be reduced significantly,and human driver constraints can be removed.A driver in the US can drive up to 11 hours a day after 10 consecutive hours off duty and 70 hours a week at maximum, which makes the truck not in use half of the time. Operational costs of the trucking industry are increasing at a 6%rate annually. In 2016, 388K heavy trucks involved in property damage, 145K people injured in those crashes and 4,761 fatalities occurred. Pollution by the transportation accounted for 27%of total US emissions in 2015, of which 23%accounted for the movement of goods.
The Opportunity
Level 4 autonomy can secure a sustainable movement of goods: it can eliminate human error which causes 94- 96%of total crashes, double utilization rate by enabling the trucks becoming operational 24 hours a day, and reduce emissions by 8-16% with Platooning. However, some key issues call for clarity before the vision for a safer, more efficient,and therefore more sustainable movement of on-road goods could be realized. Also, it is likely that different contexts (institutional structures, driving habits etc.) may require different approaches, for example between the US, the EU, and Asia. This project will aim to identify under what circumstances will we need harmonized dedicated lanes,charging infrastructure,digitized data exchanges (road signs), 5G and HD mapping, and dedicated hubs throughout our highways for ensuring sustainable non-urban movement of goods.

Our Clinic is purpose designed and built with 5 treatment rooms - including a registered minor surgery treatment facility.
We comply with the Care Quality Commission requirements (as a registered clinic) and pay particular attention to ensuring that all of the equipment, staff training and procedures are focussed on ensuring that we make treatments as comfortable as possible.
You can read Reviews here from many of our existing clients to see what they have to say about our treatments, our clinic and our staff.
Alternatively, you can review us / read independent reviews of MediZen via 192.com, Yell, Google Plus, Yelp or on Facebook.
The image below gives a 360-degree view of MediZen Clinic. Use the direction tools to navigate around our reception, treatment rooms and clinical trial centre. On the right side of the image, you will see 3 buttons (GF, L1 and L2), toggle between these to switch which floor of the clinic you wish to view.
MediZen's Unique Comfort Monitor and Comfort Score System
One of the primary concerns that our clients have relates to discomfort associated with different procedures. In our experience, very few clinics know exactly how uncomfortable certain procedures are for their clients, and they tend to work on the assumption that every client experience is similar and that discomfort is part of the treatment process.
We know that pain can be subjective and tolerance can differ between individuals, which is why we try to analyse objective information from our client's experience with different treatments.
This helps us to give you a much more realistic idea of the real average treatment comfort as actually experienced by clients being treated at our clinic. It also allows us to collect information and alter our protocols to continually try to reduce discomfort experienced with procedures delivered by our practitioners.
Information is routinely collected via our treatment comfort survey form and in a recent report, 87% of our clients found treatment not painful at all, comfortable or slightly uncomfortable.
In addition, we ensure that we give our clients complete control at all times with our unique "beep box" – if pressed our practitioners know that the client is finding the particular procedure too uncomfortable to tolerate. With some facial procedures (particularly lip augmentation) clients may feel too scared to move or verbalise discomfort – which is why we give them a simple button to press if they want the practitioner to stop at any point.
You will be introduced to your practitioner who will take you through to one of our discreet state of the art treatment rooms where you can discuss what you would like to achieve. Our practitioner will explain the treatment stages and how we can help you to achieve the results you are looking for, answering any questions and concerns that you may have. If you're happy, and the practitioner feels that the treatment is suitable and will give you the results that you're looking for then you can proceed to book your treatment with us.
We always ensure that we give you time to discuss your needs with a professional (no rushed 10-minute consultations), and will often use our 2D VISIA Digital Skin Analysis System to help us assess the quality of your skin in detail if you're seeking anti-aging treatments for the face. We are one of the only clinics in the Birmingham area with access to this advanced technology, meaning we can objectively measure results via a series of skin analysis tools allowing for comparison of results before and after any treatment.
As a medically led and owned clinic, we take pride in the quality of our service and you can be sure that ethics come before profit: We will not treat you if we don't think that we can give you the results that you desire, preferring to refer and recommend other expert colleagues, where appropriate.
After your treatment, we will continue to keep in regular contact with you to monitor your progress and measure your results. In the unlikely event you experience any side effects, our top-rated aftercare includes an emergency telephone line where you are guaranteed to reach a helpful team member 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a medically led clinic, we have the advantage of a fully trained and registered doctor on hand so you can feel assured that we can offer you the best complete after treatment care and attention that you deserve.
Please be aware that we are situated on the first and second floors of a building with no lift. Our clinic and treatment rooms are accessed only by stairs from the ground floor. We offer chaperones within treatment rooms if needed. If you require extra help whilst at the clinic or wish to know more about our facilities accessibility, please get in touch.
We are one of the very few cosmetic clinics in the Midlands who have been registered with the Care Quality Commission and Save Face.
MediZen is also PaPPS Accredited.

Thanks shoes on loose for making my 1st marriage anniversary special , specially ashish he did excellent coordination and Kritagya too for confirmation of my tickets while returning back to Mumbai The only bad experience was the driver as he was a bluff master and used to show spots as per his convenience. My mistake was I didn't check the itinerary properly hence missed a few ......He even said his business does not depend on shoes on loose and the reviews don't matter . Anyways concentrating on the +ve..... I loved my experience !!

There is new reason to believe that the housing market is experience better health, as the rate of new construction on homes has hit a four-year high. As of the end of October, 2012, construction broke ground on over 394,000 homes across the United States. This is the highest rate of new construction on homes since the housing crisis in 2008, and is close to a four percent increase from the rate of new home construction in September of this year. Along with the increase in private home construction, new construction on apartment complexes also increased during the month of October, though the more volatile nature of the multifamily housing units doesn't indicate as strong of a trend as that of private residences. The rate of new home construction and permits for new single family home construction is 87 percent higher now than it was in 2009, when the housing market hit its all time low of the modern era. The boost in new-home construction means a lot to the average American homeowner, as well as to developers and investors who have been waiting patiently for the housing market to turn around. The increase in new construction means that there is an increased demand for housing, as more families are able to remain in their homes and the national rate of foreclosures continues to decline. While the rate of new construction of single and multifamily homes is on the rise, developers are acutely aware that the housing market is fundamentally different than it was four years ago when it was at an all time high. Buyers are being weary before committing to a property, and in many cases it is going to take a bit of extra effort to encourage a buyer to make an offer on a home. With so many foreclosures and short sales flooding the market, many buyers have had their pick of amenities when purchasing a house. Adding features like a playground or skate park to your multifamily housing unit, or improving the aesthetics of a single family home with decorative curbing can make a big impact on potential buyers, and thereby a big impact on how quickly a property will sell. One of the reasons construction rates are on the rise once again is the level of builder confidence in the current economy. When builders are unsure a property will sell they are generally not willing to break ground on another project. A surplus of foreclosures and short sales on the market makes new construction a difficult sell for many contractors, as the supply is not met with a big enough demand. From where the current trends stand, many builders are confident that building rates will continue to rise. Hurricane Sandy is likely to cause November rates of property construction to waiver, but many contractors are expecting construction rates in New England to boom in the New Year as families begin repairing what was damaged during the storm.

McFarland Historic Park
The history of the park's building provides visitors with a look into the past. The building represents a transition between Sonoran and Anglo-American architecture with its wood-shingled pitched roof surmounting traditional adobe brick walls. Like most buildings in Territorial Arizona, the original 1878 structure was constructed by hand using native materials. Soil from the area was used to make adobe bricks which were laid on a trench foundation filled with river rocks. All lumber for the floors and roof was hauled by wagon from northern Arizona.

Did you know that the majority of all travelers are over age 55? I am seeing more and more people 85 and over taking trips to China, India and many other locales far away. Many of those I see are quite fit and healthy. Some, not so much...
I work in a travel clinic , so I am often seeing these patients for the first time. But if you work in primary care, the older traveler will likely be well known to you. Whether you provide full pretravel care or not, you play an important role in keeping your patient safe and healthy when they travel.
1. Make sure their routine adult immunizations are up to date, especially flu vaccines.
2. Be sure their chronic health problems aren't just stable but optimized. The stress physically and mentally of travel pose unique effects on many chronic diseases.
3. Make sure they have a med list, a problem list and travel health insurance with emergency evacuation for care if needed abroad.

Round Cairn
View all content for Bedd y Brenin
Kammer found the going difficult from the road to the north west but ttTom found it easy enough coming from the east down off the mountain, can you guess which route I took.
There was room for one or two cars next to the footpaths on the road to the northwest of the cairn, but make sure your on the right path, not the big left one but the small steep single file path. I had read Kammers notes about this path but decided that it was summer now so hopefully it would be a bit drier, it wasn't, in fact parts of the path are so worn by continuous water flow that its 5o% path and 50% stream, even though both my kids are old enough to take it, they still couldnt be bothered, so I left them fairy story style in the forest and carried on on my own. I'm not as bad as Hansel and Gretels dad though the cairn was only seventy yards away up the occasional path, I could hear them just fine messing about below me, if the trees were not there i would have been able to see them. Anyway there both children of nature so we were all ok.
The cairn is a big one, in a big clearing in a conifer plantation, the cairn isnt just the visible cairn material,( too many cairns?) its much bigger than that. The summer sun was streaming down upon me and I was just dripping in sweat, the midges were having a field day, and because of the slight chance that there may be a house made of sweets in the forest I walked around it once, inspected the exposed cist, noting the cast aside capstone which is still in one piece, then I proceeded to have a good tut about the shelter dug into its northern edge and the whacking great wall built across the cairn.
Then I made my way back down to the kids and off we went.
I told them we were just going up the road to turn round when wow would you look at that two standing stones "'ll just have a quick look"
awwwww daaaad ???

Submission Title
La Reforme de l'Assurance-Chomage et l'Inadmissibilite Liee Aux Conflits Collectifs: La Neutralite de l'Etat en Prend Pour son Rhume, La
Unemployment insurance; Labor laws & legislation
Document Type
French Abstract
Remaining almost unchanged since the creation of the scheme in 1940, disentitlement arising from Joss of employment due to a stoppage of work attributable to a labour dispute has been substantially modified by the recent reform of unemployment insurance. Taking note of tribunal decisions, the reform lessens the rigour of disentitlement, by limiting its application in certain particular situations, such as sick leave planned prior to the work stoppage. On the other band, the reform considerably enlarges the collective dimension of disentitlement. Henceforth, not only claimants who have lost their employment by reason of a work stoppage attributable to a labour dispute will be disentitled to benefits, but equally those who cannot resume their previous employment for the same reason. Moreover, the 85% rule for determining the end of a work stoppage is now embodied in the regulations. Rejecting the criticisms of the disentitlement formulated by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Hills case, the Conservatives have chosen, on the contrary, to strengthen the legal foundations of disentitlement. Under the pretext of reinforcing neutrality (the existence of which is strongly contested by many), the government is playing an active role through the unemployment insurance legislation to ensure that market forces can act freely, without state constraint. The reform reaffirms the precedence of the economic role of the legislation over its declared social objective, which is "to provide benefits to unemployed persons".

There are several video game movies that are now coming up. They range from 8-bit classics to wacky cinematic game creations. According to data published by putlockers, below is the list of the best video game movies that have succeeded in this new genre.
Wreck-It Ralph
This video game movie is number one on our list. It has one of the fewest negative reviews. A simple arcade game is brought to life in this movie, and it takes us through the lives of the characters in the arcade games. It makes the audience look at the simple arcade games in a different way. The graphics for this movie are also very good. This video game movie sets the bar high for any other upcoming movies in the same niche.
This is among the best video game movies that have ever been created. It has a premise that is ahead of its time and an aesthetic that is so crazy that it actually becomes charming. The movie is about computer programs being sentient and believing in users. An error occurs and only a video game programmer and a person who can write security programs can save the virtual world. This will, in turn, save the real world.
Last Starfighter
In the very competitive world of science fiction where every idea has already been implemented, this video game movie stands out. It has managed to find originality. The video game movie is about a person who left his trailer park and went to space. Accidentally they leave behind a beta unit, which is used by bounty hunters as target practice.
Mortal Combat
This video game movie brings back memories to every pre-teen and teen from the 90's. A certain thrill comes with seeing the live incarnations of the various fighters from the video game. It helps to connect and understand the motivations to fight for each individual. This video game movie has successfully managed to find a way to make the audience connect and genuinely care about the characters in the video game movie.
Resident Evil
Shooting zombies using a shotgun is a favorite past time for most individuals. This video game movie has successfully managed to maintain the enthusiasm for zombies and fighting them for a good period of history. The movie was produced using exploitation film quality and a low budget, yet it still somehow managed to win the hearts of many people.
This is not only a movie, but it is also a means of educating the youth about violence. Wargame focuses on how the joy behind playing a video game that you think is unreal could have serious consequences in real life. A simple game move could launch a nuclear strike in the real world. This is a very good video game movie.
There are a couple of movies in the video game movie niche, but there's only a few that have successfully managed to reach the cut off for being among the best video game movies made.

Valerie was a Sony Advanced AIBO companion unit. She was constructed to have the youthful appearance of a virginal 19-year old. Recently, she was purchased second-hand to a new owner and was sent to a local cyberneticist for a detailed examination. The examination goes well except for a glitch in her sexual response subroutine. The doctor performs a comprehensive vaginal operations test, which stimulates all vaginal sensors as it simulates actual sexual intercourse. This test is known to trigger the orgasm response in androids. The doctor, knowing this, uses it to his advantage, knowing that in some androids, Sony units in particular, when an orgasm is triggered, it consumes nearly all of the android's resources to produce the desired effect and takes nearly thirty seconds to recover. He uses those thirty seconds to hack into her main processing core and shut down all of her higher functions, rendering her mind out of action. Three hours later, two men pay a visit to the doctor, take possession of Valerie, and hand the doctor a healthy sum of money. Valerie, the doctor, and the two men are never seen from again.
Delilah X was also a companion unit. She was purchased by an escort service and heavily modified for an avant-garde style of limbs, arms, and eyes to be stripped of any human appearance. The look she had of embracing her artificiality instead of disguising it made her very popular among the technosexual crowd and was always in attendance at their annual RoboBall event held annually. This year would be no exception. She was an escort to Devon Frisk, an up and coming fiction writer, known more by his pen name, a binary translation of his real name. Frisk met many fans, including an eager young woman named Lillith. She was a young, perky type, who dreamed of comic one day, and often practiced her lines on the patrons she waited on at a diner downtown. She also confessed a secret desire to have a robotic clone made as a way of taking masturbation to a whole new level of a really having sex with herself. As the party progressed, Lillith managed to sweet talk Devon into heading back to his hotel room with Delilah in tow. When the door closed behind them, they engaged in the wildest ménage a trios not seen since the hedonistic days of Rome. By the time they were done, Devon was thoroughly worn out. It didn't take long before the mix of alcohol and exhaustive sex made him pass out on the floor. Lillith, however was still ready for more. Delilah, a unit programmed for pleasure, was ready to accommodate her. As they fondled and caressed each other, Delilah suffered a severe malfunction, convulsing and twitching wildly before she shut down hard. What Delilah was unaware of before she malfunctioned, was that Lillith was an android too, and that she had a built in electromagnetic interference generator. She used it to pound her body with wave after wave of interference until her processors could no longer take the assault. Devon woke up, as if on cue after Delilah was shut down, and made one phone call. A security camera would later show two men helping an unconscious woman into the back of a large SUV that was waiting outside for them. Although the escort service suspected Devon of foul play, they could never prove it, and Delilah was never seen again.
How do I know all of this? It's simple, really. It's because I'm the mastermind behind those dollnappings, and countless other capers. Sometimes I never touch the dolls, other times I'm heavily involved, but in all cases, I'm the brains of this operation. You see, the black market of robotics is a very lucrative market. Most folks would be happy to sell you parts such as an arm and a leg for an arm and a leg. I consider myself to be a vendor of higher quality merchandise. I consider it a sin to perform any chop shop work on these women. Every one of these dolls is sold 100 percent complete. Not every job will be the same, but there are always the same elements involved in pulling off a job like this. The first of the important elements is surveillance. This is a process of patience. Not every doll you find will be the one you want to take. There are many times I've passed up on one. Some bots aren't really sentient units, but more of a humanoid avatar of a house computer, so if you snatch one, not only will the house know your location, but the body shut down immediately and be completely useless. Others will have some kind of self defense program running so they'll fight you before they get snatched up. Then you have the ones with authorization codes and voice recognition programming. These are tricky because if you attempt authorized access to one of these, they record what you look like and transmit it to the police. Of course, it's not that these bots are completely theft proof. Any determined thief can make off with these dolls if he's skilled. It's all about the risk versus reward factor, and if it's even worth your time and effort to take a doll from their rightful owner. The latest doll I spotted was a beauty named Zoe. She was a unit that was sculpted and chiseled in all of the right places, and carved and curvaceous in all of the desirable ones. Crafted with the perfect mix of a 1970's blaxploitation foxy mama and a runway supermodel, she had the muscles of a fitness instructor, and a face of such innocence that it made it feel so wrong to snatch her up, which made me want her even more. I staked out the first story apartment she was in for two weeks. Watching is how you find everything out about your target. While I watched, I learned that she was a Mantronix Inc. Mannekin 9000™, the American manufacturer's answer to the Japanese invasion from Sony, Honda, and Kawasaki. While they put together a beautiful product, it was a shame that she was powered by a Microsoft OS. They didn't get a reputation for having Swiss cheese security for nothing. Of course, it didn't help that her owner travels extensively, and never takes her with him. With windows rarely closed, and no real type of security, he was virtually begging for somebody to take her off his hands, and I would only be happy to oblige. Of course, this appaling lack of security only occurs when this is their first purchase, and he doesn't know about people like me. After I select my target, I begin my work. Dollnapping for me is the next level up from hacking, so it only came natural to me to try to hack into Zoe. Before I could snatch her up, I had to do two things. The first thing is to get her maintenance password. This is the password that shuts down her personality and places her into her diagnostic mode. Her body is then controlled only by voice commands or through the computer that is attached to her. I used a simple Trojan horse program to record every keystroke Zoe's owner made to find her password. The next thing I had to do was hack into her owner's computer. From there, I would take over his computer remotely, and control Zoe until I could give her voice commands. The plan worked beautifully. Once Zoe's owner left for a weeklong business trip out of town, I went to work. He left her hooked up to his computer, downloading a bug patch or something. I hacked into his computer using a public network node, and activated the diagnostic program. I wasn't surprised to discover that her maintenance password was PASSWORD. I put her in her maintenance mode immediately. I watched as she froze and her expression became blank. The previous night I left a cellular phone outside of her window. I typed in the command for her to retrieve the phone, and then I called it. She picked it up. "State your status," I said. "Currently at diagnostic mode 2," she replied. Her voice wasn't robotic, but it wasn't filled with emotion either. "Format the computer you are at," I commanded. "Formatting." "When the computer is formatted, shut it down and leave the apartment. When you exit the apartment, there will be a black SUV outside. Do not hang up." "Understood." I watched as she shut the computer down and walked out of the apartment. She emerged from the front door. I ordered her into the vehicle and we drove off.
By this time, two thirds of my work is done. I usually inform buyers of what I will be getting, and all sales are dependent on any successful heists. With Zoe in my possession, I made my call. The buyer agreed and planned to meet me with her in four hours. I found a hotel outside the city and checked out a room for the night. I brought Zoe in with me. I locked the door, pulled the curtains shut, and then stripped Zoe naked. I had to inspect her for any obvious defects, and I was curious about this new model. Most people when asked couldn't tell you the difference between a Japanese and an American model unless you opened them up and looked right at their manufacturer plate. I can take a quick glance and immediately pick out the difference between the two. Japanese dolls usually come in two flavors, petite or young. The young ones are untouchable. They're so small and look so young that to have one would be borderline pedophilia. Besides, those are usually for old people who want the joy of having kids around the house. My advice would be just to stay as far away from those as you can. The plain ones are a different story. These are units that will have all of the quirks, blemishes, and imperfections like any real person would, from baby hair and misaligned teeth, all the way to programming some of them to be left handed. The pride of the Japanese is in making a doll so realistic that it's nearly impossible to tell if it's artificial or not. They even have television ads where a pair of twins ask bystanders to guess which one is real and which one isn't (they always guess wrong). American manufacturers, on the hand, are specialists in the fantasy, or what I consider comic book look. Most will have a slender body with long legs, a firm butt, and large breasts. Mix Laura Croft, Cindy Crawford, and the Williams Sisters together, and that's about what you have in your typical American doll. Zoe was an example of the latter. Her looks could be summed up on one word: Delicious. My hands seemed to develop a mind of their own as one homed in on her supple breasts and the other headed towards her pussy. I could've spent all night feeling her up when I got a crazy idea. I remembered that one of my friends had given me this interesting doll program of his. He was one for weird sex games with his doll, and this creation of his was no different. When I loaded it into Zoe, it kept her at her diagnostic mode, but activated all of her sexual subroutines. The result was that she could be my obedient little sex puppet. This made things more interesting as her pussy lubed itself up when I fingered her this time. The way she moaned, groaned, and arched her back while grinding her ass into my cock drove me crazy. I guided her to the bed and spread her legs wide and played with her clit before I dipped my tongue into her pussy. Most dolls come with a fruity flavor in their lubrication fluid, like cherry or passion fruit, but Zoe's was vanilla flavored. I licked away at my Baskin-Robbins babe. She moaned loudly and rocked the bed violently as she reached her climax. She collapsed on the bed, and the blank look returned to her face. I climbed on top of her and grabbed her legs. She was immobile as I slid inside of her and started fucking her. She didn't moan, but she did something completely unexpected. As I rocked inside of her, her vagina began to vibrate. The feeling was shocking, but then shock turned to pleasure and pleasure became a powerful climax inside of her before I collapsed on top of her, totally spent. I was left with no choice but to call back my customer and inform him that I had some technical difficulties with Zoe. He wasn't too happy when I told him that I would be delayed by about a week to correct the problem. About a week later, Zoe was delivered to her new owner after I had done the necessary work on her, of course, and I received my payment minus a special discount. Now who says crime doesn't pay?

Is it a poet's job to make the reader weep? Sebastian Faulks is moved to tears by an anthology of verse chosen by women
When I read Poems That Make Grown Women Cry, the collection edited by father and son Anthony and Ben Holden, I cried so much that my family thought I was concealing some terrible news. Take "Daylight Robbery" by Paul Henry: I have witnessed exactly the scene he describes, of a seven-year-old boy suddenly transformed into an independent young man by his first serious haircut, with both my sons, but I didn't stand back far enough at the time to see the experience for what it was. The poem made me cry with a mixture of happiness and sorrow in reliving what Henry captures so well, but also with regret that I did not sufficiently inhabit the moment in my own life.

Posts Tagged 'Darling'
The Rakowskis' House
Before love showed up and ruined everything, the Rakowskis had nineteen dogs and an eight-foot high chain link fence to hold those mutts back. Anyone walked by and they were all jumping up against it, barking and snarling, those steel links threatening to burst, so you feared one day they were going to give and the pack was going to light on whatever soul happened to be standing there, thinking were brave instead of ass backwards brain dead.
I include myself in that number, having lost the tippy end of my little finger when I was nine. Lilly Dollinger dared me to touch one of their noses. He promised me five whole dollars. Dog gulped it down before I knew what happened. He just laughed and never paid me a cent. Said it didn't count as touching if the touching part got bit off.

Hoyt Katera XL Review1 editor review + 1 user review
The Hoyt Katera XL is a well balanced quality bow that covers a wide range range of draw lengths. While it could be a bit faster, the Katera XL is a great shooting rig as noted by many shooters. Experts agree that the draw cycle is smooth on both Z3 and Cam & 1/2 Plus systems. At 36 inches from axle to axle, this bow holds very well. According to many Hoyt shooters, the Hoyt Katera XL is one of the best Hoyt bows ever. All in all, the Hoyt Katera XL will be a very good rig for many shooters, especially those with longer draw lengths... read full review

This simple, tasty Pea Soup is just 1 SmartPoint per bowl on Weight Watchers Freestyle / Flex plan.
The recipe is so easy and makes a great tasting, healthy soup that is low enough in SmartPoints that you can treat yourself to a slice of Low Point Bread to go with it!
This Pea Soup is excellent if you are looking for a low point lunch that is quick to throw together.
The recipe is also perfect for batch cooking as it holds up in the freezer so well.
But if you are going to freeze the soup, do so without the yogurt as freezing it with yogurt may cause it to separate when thawed.
Double or triple the amount of soup, portion it out into freezer bags or containers and stash in the freezer for easy, go to lunches or snacks!
As this Pea Soup is so low in SmartPoints, you may fancy a slice or two of bread with it.
or if you are from the UK
What I used for this recipe:

I used an immersion blender like this one, available from Amazon, to blend the soup.
I love these Denby Soup Bowls, available from Amazon.
If you are looking to batch cook your soup, you may be interested in these reusable containers, available from Amazon, they are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.
- Use minted garden peas and garnish with a sprig of mint.
- If you don't have spring onions/scallions, use a small onion instead.

Different Garage Door Styles
Are you building a new home or remodeling your current home? Perhaps you just want to update your garage or add an attached garage to your current home. No matter what your reason for updating or remodeling your garage area, it is important for you to choose a garage door that matches the style of your home. Just as there are several different styles of homes, there are also several different styles of garage doors that may match your home better than others. To make a stylish statement and choose a garage door that compliments the rest of your home and property, here is a short description of some of the different styles of garage doors in St. Paul.
Traditional garage doors have been around for a long time and are quite popular. Their popularity is due in part to the fact that they are typically less expensive than more stylish garage doors, and they also match the style of many simplistic modern-day homes. Traditional garage doors look good with many major American and European-styled homes, including French Country, Ranch, Tudor, Craftsman, Mediterranean, and many others.
Carriage-style garage doors in St. Paul have become very popular in recent years for a variety of home styles. They typically are built to imitate the antique and sophisticated look of old carriage houses, but they look equally stylish on contemporary homes. True carriage doors were built to swing open instead of roll up, and you can choose to purchase this type of garage door if you wish. However, there are rolling garage doors available which are designed to look as if they swing open like a true carriage door so that you can get the benefits of the original carriage door look without the hassle of dealing with a swinging garage door.
Raised-panel garage doors in St. Paul have become the standard garage doors that most homeowners choose to purchase. In fact, when you think of a garage door, raised-panel garage doors are typically the first style that comes to mind. Raised panel garage doors are usually quite simple in design, although some may come with windows along the top. Raised-panel garage doors may come in several different colors and match most home styles.
Contemporary garage doors are offered in custom designs that can match practically any style of home. If you have a modern-style home then a contemporary garage door will compliment your home better than any other style. Some contemporary garage doors offer unique features such as tempered glass panels and aluminum frames.
At Custom Door Sales Inc., their technicians handle all types of garage door configurations and expertly solve all your door problems regarding garage doors in St. Paul.

If you are new to the world of astronomy you may find the array of instruments and accessories rather daunting. But don't worry, we are here to help. If you cannot find the information you require here, then please do contact us by email email@example.com or phone us on 01342 837098. We have a well-earned reputation at Telescope House for putting even the most novice astronomer at ease. Our telescope section is made up of three sub sections -
Entry Level - Intermediate - Advanced
It does not really matter whether you have a large or a small budget, what's important is that you choose a telescope that satisfies your needs and initial abilities successfully so that you enjoy this engaging hobby that is astronomy.
Essentially modern telescopes fall into two categories, goto automated models or traditional manual telescopes that require some knowledge of the night sky.
Refractor Telescopes are the most recognisable type of instrument using a lens to gather light, these are generally available from 60mm apertures to around 152mm. For practical reasons and cost they are rarely seen larger than this but refractors are virtually maintenance free. Achromat refractors are a high contrast design but can suffer from chromatic abberation or false colour on brighter objects, recent advances in Apochromat designs have minimised this but prices are higher for these models.
Reflector Telescopes combine good value and ease of use with apertures ranging from around 80mm to some of the very largest amateur models of more than 400mm. Regarded as the best way to get maximum light grasp for your money some maintenance and cleaning of the optics are required. Reflectors provide good images that are free from false colour but are not quite as well corrected for coma than other designs.
Catadioptric Telescopes boast all the best features of modern designs and are available in various forms usually from 90mm to over 350mm apertures. With little maintenance and compact designs this is the logical choice for modern hi tech goto mounts and are the best selling designs with their all round capability. The catadioptric types commonly seen are Schmidt cassegrains, Maksutov cassegrains and Ritchey chretiens all of which are very well corrected optical designs further enhancing their universal appeal.
Mountings & Tripods
Telescopes usually come on a mounting and tripod offering the very important stable platform required for observing at high powers, the simplest form is an alt az mount which is a mount that allows manual movement of the instrument in altitutde and azimuth or simply put up down / left right. Dobsonian telescopes employ a version of the alt az mount in a large format allowing very large apertures to remain portable and affordable.
More useful is the driven mount in either the form of an equatorial mount or driven fork mount, these mounts once aligned will track objects and enable astro imaging of the night sky. Most driven mounts beyond entry level offer goto technology that after a simple alignment will find and track literally thousands of objects from their onboard databases.
About magnification
The first thing many beginners ask when buying their first telescope is how big does it magnify, this section explains what the really useful questions should be more info

What Is the Ending Exposition in "The Trout"?
Sean O'Faolain, in his short story "The Trout," examines the phenomenon of children growing out of their belief in fairy godmothers, among other fancies. In the tale's ending exposition, 12-year-old Julia rescues a trapped trout, pouring water into the shallow well that imprisons it to flush it into the stream. In effect, Julia rewrites her own life and the trout's by becoming a human fairy godmother.
Morality vs. Benevolence
The fairy tale grandeur of Julia's action is comparable to a story her mother tells to Julia's brother Stephen earlier in the story. Julia objects to this tale when it becomes "a horrible old moral" object lesson that punishes the trout for straying from the narrow path. Rebelling against this over-conscientious morality, Julia becomes a force of benevolent forgiveness against her mother's harsh judgment, echoing O'Faolain's own anti-religious sentiments.
Happily Ever After
O'Faolain's final exposition ends as Julia's brother Stephen asks where the fish has gone. "Fairy Godmother, perhaps?" says Julia, having given the trout a "happily ever after" denouement. O'Faolain, who considered a good short story a "small wonder," could not resist such a capper.
