Some nurseries are so amazing! There are so many alluring ideas in the good ones. This is Vassey Nursery in the South Sound in Washington State.
Wisteria dripped, there was vignette after vignette of gorgeous "what if's", including a stunning Koi pond.
This succulent wall was a sight to behold. Packed to the gills with stunning planned precision. It had pressure treated sides, thick and not shy. Trimmed in cedar, and lined with mesh and a whole lot of dirt. It was truly awesome and floating with a serious set of chains to keep it up I. The air, looking effortless.
Who doesn't love a delicate little birdbath, with a little bird.
It was raining when we went and that didn't stop the group from meandering on an on until we were all soaked. This ranks right up there with the bookstore in being the best. I would like to load up a semi truck and transport it all home. Wouldn't that be dreamy! 🌿👏🏼

The year 2015 marks two major things for us: the Malaysia Year of Festivals (MyFest) and Gaya Travel Magazine's ten years anniversary. Though the launch of MyFest 2015 is cancelled to respect those who have suffered from the recent floods that engulfed many parts of Malaysia in late 2014 and early 2015, Malaysia is still brimming with festivities that are sure to excite travellers. We are also highlighting Penang (page 70) and Mabul plus Sipadan (page 122) as places worth checking out by travellers when they are in Malaysia, besides staying at efficient and even evocative properties like Bagasta Boutiques Guest House (page 142), Royale Bintang Penang (page 148), Ascott Sentral Kuala Lumpur (page 154) and M Boutique Hotel (page 160).
Reminiscing to the time when Gaya Travel Magazine first began, our intention was simple: to share with the increasingly sophisticated travelling public on where to go, where to stay and what to do during their domestic or international travels. Having to face various limitations and challenges from the start, we were not quite sure how far we could go – for all we knew, a decade has gone by!
It has indeed been an enriching and educational 10 years – we have learned and experienced so much, not only in terms of travel but also in terms of destination promotion and branding. And for that we are totally grateful to Allah and everybody who have crossed paths with us, bought and/or read our magazine, taught us, guided us and supported us.
Thank you very much to everybody who have trust and faith in us; who have hosted and treated us with kindness and generosity; who have been willing to take us in as part of their family; who have criticised and offered constructive views on what needed to be improved; who gave us strength; and who encouraged us to stay positive no matter what. We would not be where we are today if it not for Allah's permission and everyone's support throughout our ten-year journey.
Here's looking ahead for Gaya Travel Magazine's next ten eventful years, and more… – Jeremy Khalil (Editor).

Remember Guys, 'Multi-Level Marketing' aka Pyrimad Schemes Comes In All Shapes And Sizes!
April 21, 2015 | 1 Comment » | Topics: TRUTH
Two things to take away from this video. 1. Motherf**kers will try to repackage a pyramid scheme in every which way. 2. Never trust a dude who readily gives away high-fives like this dude.
Required Reading:
The Economics Of Pyramid Scheme Companies
What you do is you sell your own job to other people, who in turn sell it to others, and so on. If you're on the lowest level you usually make negative income since you have to "pay to play," but if you get enough of your friends signed up then you can start making a profit . . . from your friends giving you money (basically). The key difference there is your friends are giving you only some of the money, the rest of it goes to the "organization." Your friends can then only make money if they can hook enough of their own friends, and so on, supposedly forever, all while your income grows exponentially. Except when everyone who falls for these things gets signed up, or your friends and friends of friends have been tapped out, your income stops growing and the people at the bottom level start dropping out. To keep it up you gotta harass everyone you meet trying to interest them in your job, even offering it to the bill collectors who call to find out why you can't pay your mortgage. The only way it's legal is if there's an actual product you're selling, which varies from one MLM job to the next, but it's always overpriced and may not be a decent product at all. Pay attention to the way the system works to identify a bad MLM job. If you have to pay anything when you're hired, it's bad. If you can't earn money at the lowest level, it's bad. If the product they want you to sell is bad, it's bad.
A good rule to live by is only work for companies willing to take a risk hiring you.

Recent Reads met in the Clubhouse on Wednesday at 7 pm and it was such a pleasure! Eight of us chatted about books we have read or are currently reading, about authors we like or dislike, shared information about the Kent Co Library system and much more. Probably one of the best ideas of the evening came from Janet K.....Keep a journal of the books you have read! How many of us have picked up a book to read only to discover 50 pages later that we've already read it?!
I learned that we have more than a few writers at Southern Meadow and you might end up hearing about a book written by a group of our own!
For those who may be wondering, Recent Reads was just formed as a book club without "required" reading material. On the first Wednesday of each month, join us in the Clubhouse to find out what your neighbors are reading or learn about an author you may not know. You can join in the discussion or just listen in.....The more the merrier!
We hope to see you at 7 pm on February 5!

Font icons are awesome!
As the use of font icons continue to increase in popularity, there are more and more services that offer easy-to-use font packs with a wide array of icons to choose from. Font icons are used on websites in place of image icons. Before font icons were used in web design, a designer would have to save a set of image icons, typically png files with transparent backgrounds.
A common solution designers would use in the past would be to create what is called a sprite image. The sprite image would be one png file that contains a set of several icons. The sprite would include icon hover states and other commonly used graphics on the site. The benefit of an image sprite is that it reduces page load time because rather than the browser requesting a collection of several icon graphics that are used throughout the page, the browser only needs to make one http request for the sprite. The sprite image would then be used on the page by placing a div on the page and specifying the size, background image, and position using CSS. With the combination of those CSS properties, developers would essentially be creating a small window of view and position the background image to reveal the specific icon in the sprite they would like to show. Aligning the sprite image properly was a tedious task for both the developer coding the web page, as well as the designer who created the sprite. A common example of a sprite image is shown below for Yahoo's website.
Now that font icon packs are readily available for use, most notably Font Awesome, Fontello, and IcoMoon - both designers and developers can save a great deal of time to get set up and begin using their icon font pack. Without any extra configuration, the Font Awesome has 605 icons readily available to use!
If hundreds of readily available icons is still not enough of a reason for you to begin using font icons on your website, there are other great benefits to consider.
- You'll never have to pull your hair out over an image sprite again, would be that it scales for any device. Because the icon pack is actually a font, it can be resized to any size while preserving pixel-perfect clarity. You simply cannot do this with images - such as a sprite. With image sprites, developers are restricted to the dimensions that the icon is used in the image file. If the icon is 16x16 px, then you cannot go up to 32x32 px, or 64x64 px without a loss of image clarity - font icons can be any size. Images saved for the web are saved at 72 ppi. PPI means Pixels Per Inch - and for most computer screens this looks fine. However, devices such as mobile phones and tablets use a much higher screen resolution, so the standard 72 ppi image would appear slightly blurry. Font icons are not limited to a specific ppi, and scale up or down automatically when the device interprets the font you are using. This is the exact same functionality that makes standard text on a page crisp and clear - because both are interpreted by the device as a font.
- You can further control their appearance with CSS in much more depth than just the dimensions. With just a few lines of CSS, designers can specify properties such as color, and then even make the color change on hover state. Another option would be to add a shadow to the icon - this can be done using just CSS as well!
Considering all of the benefits for font icons, it becomes clear why designers and developers have adopted this into their workflow for building websites. The workflow process is much more streamlined, and there are many more aspects that you can control much more easily, with the power of CSS. Most importantly, you can have confidence that your font icon will be crisp and clear on any device that visits your website. As a final thought, just consider the latest iPhone - the 6 plus model, has a display with an astonishing 401ppi!How to use font awesome icons on your CM1 Website
Adding font icons to your website is easy! Simply add the following code to the header section of your template and you are ready to get started.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
This is a CDN link to the font awesome CSS file hosted by maxCDN.
Once your template has the Font Awesome CSS added to the head tag, you are ready to begin using it! Below is an example of a page that is using the facebook font icon.
Feel free to check out the examples page, as well as the icon listing page on Font Awesome's website for a complete list of icons that are available for you to use!

Pilgrimage to an art temple in Amsterdam Sudheendra Kulkarni Indian Express : Sunday, June 04, 2006
During my school years in a small town in Karnataka, I worked as a volunteer in a public library after school hours. It was my earliest introduction to the world of books. Kannada being my mother tongue, and also the medium of study, most of the books I read were from the rich treasure of Kannada literature. And nobody had so much of a mind-expanding influence on me as Shivram Karanth, a multi-faceted literary personality and later a Jnanpith laureate. As I write these lines from Amsterdam, after spending a whole day at the Van Gogh Museum, one book of Karanth that I recall is his travelogue titled Apoorva Paschim (The Unique West). I have been revisiting it in my mind repeatedly after visiting the Vatican Museum in Rome, the Louvre, Versailles and Rodin Museum in Paris and countless manifestations of art in the monuments and buildings during my extended stay in Europe. In this book, Karanth describes the artistic and cultural heritage of Europe with unrestrained admiration. He was especially impressed by how European countries tried to preserve their heritage during the two catastrophic World Wars. Apart from kindling my imagination about the beauty of distant Europe, what Karanth did was make me understand an important truth: even though one may dislike the West's colonial powers for what they did to countries like India, they nevertheless deserved to be admired for all that was good and noble in them.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) is one of Europe's many noble gifts to mankind. His name had left no impression on me in my school days. But he was to be a major discovery in my rebellious growing-up years in college—and the discovery has not ended yet. I never tried my hand at art, but like most young people radicalised by socialist ideals, I was gripped by questions—and answers—about art's place in life, and its impact on society and politics. And Van Gogh, though he never advocated any ideology, became an inspiration to raise these questions and find answers.
What drew me to him was the book Lust for Life, based on hundreds of letter that Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo, who was both his benefactor and his unsuccessful art dealer. In my solitary hours, I experienced an indescribable connectedness with his paintings. This befriending of the Dutch artist created an intense desire to see the famous Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which houses the largest collection of his paintings (over 200), drawings and his letters. Hence, last week's visit was in some ways a pilgrimage to a temple of art.
The use of the word 'temple' is deliberate. Van Gogh's art is spiritual. If prayer or worship means a way of reverential reaching out to the Higher Power that has created this universe, and whose inter-connected attributes have been described by Indian rishis as ''Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram'' (Truth, Divnity, Beauty), then Van Gogh's paintings have the power to draw the viewer into a spiritual journey. (He writes in a letter to Theo, ''A feeling, even a keen one, for the beauties of nature is not the same thing as a religious feeling, though I think these stand in close relation to one another.'')
Maybe the beauty of his paintings lies in the power of his colours, or in his almost disorderly brushstroke which has got uniquely identified with him. But the more you watch, the more you realise that it is not any external aspect that has drawn you in. Rather, it is the purity and sublime nature of his art. It is his love for life, but also his agonies in life. It is his paintings' ability to make us aware of how our own existence and the society we live in have lost the self-elevating harmony with nature, and how this could be at the root of much of our sorrow, our unhappiness with ourselves, our conflicts and our dehumanisation.
For an artist who posthumously became almost a cult figure in the art world, Van Gogh lived a life of poverty, neglect and, in his later years, ill-health. This partly explains his compassion for and solidarity with the poor. He found that honesty and true religious values were more deeply rooted in peasants and workers than in ''the civilised people in cities''. One of his famous paintings is Potato Eaters, about which he writes to his brother, ''...I have tried to emphasise that those people, eating their potatoes in the lamplight, have dug the earth with those very hands they put in the dish, and so it speaks of manual labour, and how they have honestly earned their food.''
The Peasants' Churchyard, another prized work in the museum, shows a rural church in ruins (perhaps Van Gogh's way of bemoaning the decline of Christianity in Europe) surrounded by a graveyard bearing crosses. ''I wanted to express,'' he writes in another letter to his brother, ''how these ruins show that for ages peasants have been laid to rest in the very fields which they dug up when alive. I wanted to express what a simple thing death and burial is, just as simple as the falling of autumn leaf—just a bit of earth dug up, a wooden cross...And now these ruins tell me how a faith and a religion mouldered away—strongly founded though they were—but how the life and death of the peasants forever remain the same...Religions pass away, God remains.''Sorrow and death are recurring themes in Van Gogh, just as serene tranquillity and springtime renewal of life are. The blue sky he painted has the soothing effect of a mother's or a lover's hand. At other times, it is transformed into the tempestuous swirling of clouds and stars. In each case, it mirrors infinity, and the artist's search for the mystery of transient human existence.
Institutionalised religion troubled Van Gogh. But the life of Christ remained his ideal. To a fellow painter he writes: ''Christ alone—of all the philosphers—has affirmed, as a principled certainty, eternal life, the infinity of time, the nothingness of death, the necessity and raison d'etre of serenity and devotion. He lived serenely, as a greater artist than all other artists, despising marble and clay as well as colour, working in living flesh.''

He lived serenely, as a greater artist than all other artists, despising marble and clay as well as colour, working in living flesh.''
In the world of art today, the meaning and magic of art are often obscured by constant money talk. The legacy that Van Gogh has left, however, cannot be measured by the tens of millions of dollars that each of his paintings fetch—and there are very few that get sold at all. Rather it is to be measured by the love and popular acclaim that he has won all over the world, by the good feelings and good thoughts that he sows among generation after generation of art lovers. No wonder, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam attracts more than a million visitors each year. ''My need to serve the people, arising from a religious calling, has now become a strong desire to leave a certain souvenir to humankind in the form of drawings and paintings,'' he wrote in one of his letters, two years before he shot himself.
As I came out of the beautifully designed museum, with a bagful of Van Gogh souvenirs purchased at the gift shop, my eyes were drawn to a line, engraved in large letters in dozens of different languages, at the entrance. It read: ''Go to the museum as often as you can—Van Gogh, 1883.'' To me it meant, ''Go to Temples of Art as often as you can.'' write to email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com

Rain Moving Out but Cold Sticks Around
The hardest Weather Xtreme Videos to do are when the weather is going on during preparation of the videos because it is so hard to keep up with the rapid changes. Generally at this writing, the biggest area for an icing threat with light winter precipitation falling was north of a line from about Jasper in Walker County to Gadsden in Etowah County – see graphic below.
Pretty much in line with the forecast, overrunning began across southern Alabama yesterday evening and spread rapidly east. But by 10 pm or so, precipitation had also spread northward. I recorded only 4 hundredths of an inch of rain before midnight. Fortunately the greatest threat for winter weather along with the biggest potential for any impact was across the extreme northern sections of Central Alabama north of about Warrior. This morning around sunrise temperatures were still sticking right around the freezing mark across the Tennessee River Valley with above freezing temperatures south of a line from Japser to Gadsden. Precipitation will continue to move eastward fairly rapidly for North and Central Alabama while rain remains a possibility across South Alabama.
Our upper air pattern remains locked in a cold one with the broad trough situated over the eastern two-thirds of the US. The trough axis for the broad trough was from Lake Michigan to the Lower Mississippi River Valley. The broad trough will remain locked in place with only a small shift of the major axis to the east over the next several days through Saturday. This will keep us cold but dry. Morning lows will be at or just below freezing with afternoon highs in the 40s but possibly edging into the lower 50s for each day into Saturday.
The big show is coming for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Unfortunately the European Weather Center experienced a power outage earlier today, so we have no ECMWF forecasts covering this period. And the GFS seems to remain bullish on the idea of winter weather across the northern half of Alabama.
Sunday a strong upper trough is forecast to develop from the Great Lakes westward to Wyoming and swing rapidly southeast through the broad trough. This will bring a monstrous surface high forecast to be 1056 millibars into eastern Montana. To the south, the GFS is picking up on overrunning precipitation across the Lower Mississippi River Valley. With cold air in place, the GFS is painting a large swath of winter precipitation – that is, sleet, freezing rain, and snow – from Northeast Texas to Northwest Alabama. By midnight on Sunday, the GFS has a surface low in the Gulf just south of Mobile and New Orleans. This pattern, if it verifies, certainly supports the idea of a wintery mess to end 2017 and start 2018.
By New Year's Day afternoon, the precipitation is coming to an end for Alabama but temperatures are projected to be below 30 degrees from Birmingham northward. GFS MOS guidance prints out lows in the teens for Birmingham for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of January while highs struggle to get much higher than the upper 30s. In other words, it's going to be downright cold to start the new year. The overall issue with the whole winter precipitation event is that the GFS has been more bullish on being wet while the ECMWF has been drier. And the ensembles out of the GFS continued to show a large variation, so we're going to have to rely on future runs to hone the forecast for this event.
Looking into voodoo country, another cold shot is forecast to come at us on the 4th of January with another strong trough coming through the broad trough across the East. But hold on, there is some hope for slightly warmer conditions. The flow is forecast to go nearly zonal around the 6th to give us a couple of warmer days. But the warmer weather does not last long with another strong trough digging the broad trough back into the eastern US on the 8th of January. The train continues into the 9th and 11th of January with a continuous stream of short waves coming through the flow giving us little relief from the overall cold pattern.
Both Auburn and Alabama will be playing inside enclosed stadiums, so there is no worry about the weather during the games. But getting there and home may see some issues. For those headed to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl with Auburn facing the UCF Knights with an 11:45 am CST kickoff, New Year's Eve will be cold with a high of only 38 along with the potential for snow and sleet. Game day will also be cold with a slight chance of rain and snow and a high of only 38.
For the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans where Alabama and Clemson face-off at 7:45 pm CST, there will be a chance for rain for New Year's Eve with a high of 51. New Year's Day should also see some chance for rain with a high around 44.

I will be monitoring the latest model runs and I expect to post the next Weather Xtreme Video here around 7 am or so on Thursday. Stay dry and warm today. Godspeed.

My friend Heidi used the term "Screen Time" a few years ago and it is a description I LOVE. It is a description my son ABHORS.
It means anything with a screen... Phone, TV, computer, video games.. Anything with a screen.
In an effort to make it through the school year on the best grounds. We have proclaimed this week a No Screen Time week. At first my son freaked. now he is figuring out things to do. We have worked on the garden room. Cleaned out the Chicken coop. Played Pictionary.
It has been some fun fun times actually so far. A little pouting and frustration. But he has friends coming to visit on Friday night and the Screen Time Ban will be lifted. But surprisingly these friends would rather run around outside and be crazy here then be in the house. So we shall see how it goes.
But this was an interesting concept as a recent family member who moved was telling me they were spending more time chatting on the patio because their "screen services" were not fully in yet. So it crosses many age groups where we start to just stare at the screen. I hope I don't hit that phase of staring and will do my best to try and walk away from it. But I am definitely subject to it that little ping on my phone with an update.
I have 4 posts put together for my June fun summer series. I hope to add lots more.
I hope you enjoy No Screen Time week with some little ones or old friends. you would be surprised the fun things to come up with and do.
Be with the ones your with and enjoy them fully without worrying about that screen.
To get quick fun updates of things going on, you can join my facebook page.
My files in the store can be located here. Thank you for stopping by!

A new initiative is tipped to change the way Australians utilise energy. Homes and businesses in New South Wales will be paid to use less power on hot days under a joint pilot program between the state and federal governments.
The latest program is designed to stabilise the electricity grid. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the state government declared on Friday a $15 million funding for a pilot program that manages electricity demand. The scheme specifically aims to lessen the demand for electricity on extremely hot days or during emergencies. It is hoped that unplanned outages on the electricity grid will be reduced.
Energy users will receive payment to use less energy under the pilot. They will also be paid to switch to other kinds of electricity generation when demand reaches peaks or free up stored energy supply.
Incentive payments will also be offered to energy users who agree to be on standby to cut use on times of emergencies or on days of high electricity demand. Those who will be called to cut usage will get further compensation payments.
The NSW Energy Security Taskforce previously said that events like Sydney's heatwave can threaten shortfalls in supply. NSW will partner with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (AEMO) and the Australian Energy Market Operator to seek further demand management capacity, Renew Economy reported.
According to NSW Energy Minister Don Harwin, the pilot indicated energy security was a main priority. He said the pilot would assist speed up the case for reform, adding that the act of reforming the market to have smarter ways to ensure security is necessary. The news comes amid warning from industry experts that extreme use of air conditioners can put the electricity grid under extreme pressure.
ARENA will provide for a range of grants, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. It seeks to come up with better demand-driven electricity solutions to generate some 60-70 megawatts of energy capacity.
Ivor Frischknecht, ARENA chief executive officer, said additional NSW funding meant the program could grow. "This will provide proof of concept for how innovative and flexible demand side resources can help provide security and reliability," he added.
For AEMO chief executive Audrey Zibelman, the initiative would help the electricity system deal with high demand. Adding that the substantial ARENA funding, the total funding for the project will now reach over $37 million.
The program's funding applications are now open. Applications will be until July 17.

Five Bright Ideas About Year-End Tax Planning
2. Net investment income (NII) tax: The so-called NII tax has been a thorn in the side of high-income taxpayers. The provision requires you to pay a 3.8% of the lesser of your NII—which includes most investment income such as capital gains from securities sales—or the amount by which your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $200,000 for single filers or $250,000 for joint filers.
If you have potential NII liability in 2017, you could try to reduce your exposure before the end of the year. For example, you might move money into tax-free municipal bonds, or do what you can to keep your MAGI under the threshold. Note that distributions from traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans don't count as NII but do increase your MAGI for the year.
3. Capital gains and losses: Traditionally, the end of the year is when investors look to "harvest" capital gains or losses (or both) from securities transactions, depending on your situation. This year is no exception, even with the specter of tax reform.

Course update for 2018
Posted on March 15, 2018
In case you've not heard the news, the most significant course update we've ever made in the nine year history of this race has been made for 2018.
In short, riders will skip the last part of the NIMBY climb and go up Middle Earth instead and come down Rudy's trail and onto Ovenright Sensation. Then, riders will skip the infamous sphincter zone in its entirety and instead take Lake Loop around to the gravel road that takes you to No Err.
We think it's going to maintain the challenging nature of the race while ensuring everyone has a really good time out on their bikes!
For full details check out the course info page.

In this week's episode of the Por Favor Podcast, Mike and Gary discuss Mike's early August trip to Disney. He went to Disney's Animal Kingdom and EPCOT. He discussed those two parks and his stay at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside. He ate at a couple of 'Quick Services,' took a boat ride down the Sassagoula River to Disney Springs and then got some French Beignetes at Disney's French Quarter. It was a great 'Moderate.'
Thanks for listening,

Baptized by kilowatts and ohms, what's left is waiting.
the embers rise like incense carry praryers for what is next to come.
carry me on silver wings to meet with vulcan.
to be forged anew and rise again above arms of fire.
holding this common language in our hands.
find solace in the landscape.
the best laid plans carry the weight of an entire season's hope.
the city waits with shattered skyline for its missing hero.
to lay low those beneath and cast aside the restraints of hopless inertia
as winter's chill fades below me.
now we are silent, holding this common language in our hands.
find solace in the landscape.
watching, waiting, holding on to victory's kiss.
like alloys we shape, bending ourselves to our needs.
bend with the hammer to the anvil of self.
the smithy screams with exertion as the flames drive out impurities.
bend the hammer to the anvil of self.
the soul screams with recreation bathed in the furnace of ascension.
winter's chill fades below me.

Discovering that your faucets are producing rusty water can be disconcerting for the whole family. Not only is this water unsafe to drink, but it can lead to even more significant plumbing problems if not addressed right away. Before you call a plumber to come fix the issue, it's wise to get an idea of the source so that you can better assess the situation. Identifying whether it's actually rust you're dealing with and what you can do to remedy the situation will help you find a solution much more quickly.
How Do I Know If It's Rust?
While many people assume they can diagnose a rust problem simply by looking at the water coming from their faucets, it's wise to do a bit more research before deeming this the problem. Rust, of course, gives off an orange-brown hue that will tinge the output of water from your sinks and showers.
The rust has a noticeable metallic scent and is known to leave muddy orange marks if it's left for too long. Rust is caused by oxidized iron, which can easily make its way into your home by way of public plumbing works or even your own residential system.
What Should I Do Now?
Once you've determined that you are, in fact, dealing with a rust problem in your pipes, you can attempt to figure out where the problem is stemming from: localized or public plumbing. Run the problematic faucet with cold and hot water separately and look for signs of rust. Rust that comes only from the hot water supply is likely a reflection of a problem with your hot water heater connection and can be fixed by a local plumber. If you see rust coming from both hot and cold taps, it's likely a public plumbing issue.
Getting rid of rust in your water can only be achieved by replacing the section of failing pipes. This process is labor-intensive and should never be assumed by a layman without the training and equipment to do the job properly. If the problem is with your hot water heater, you may also need to replace the unit to ensure clean water in the future.
Are you dealing with less-than-ideal plumbing in your Oahu, HI, home? If so, don't waste another minute – get in touch with Fast Rooter Plumbing. For over 20 years, they have been the go-to name for all things drains and pipes. Whether you need sink repair or a whole new set of pipes, you can count on Fast Rooter Plumbing to complete the job with care.

FAQAt what age should I start taking my child to a Pediatric Dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that every child should establish a "dental home" by the age of one. Most of our patients start visiting our office between one and two years of age. Dr Moore highly recommends seeing your child every six months for dental hygiene appointments so that your children's teeth can be cleaned and examined for cavities or other dental anomalies. At the hygiene appointment, we measure every child for any abnormal growth and development problems with their teeth or jaws. Dr Moore strongly believes in preventative dentistry and in the early detection of dental problems so that small problems do not become major problems. He also believes in educating parents about current medical/dental issues that impact their long-term dental health and safety. We usually follow our patients' dental care from early childhood through their young adult years.
Should I bring my teenager to a Pediatric Dentist?
Sometimes, parents ask if they should bring their teenage children to our office. We believe it is very important to continue seeing this age group since many dental and facial changes occur during the teenage years. A pediatric dentist is specifically trained to recognize and handle the unique dental needs and problems which can occur at this age. For example, during the middle school years, limited or comprehensive orthodontic treatment may be diagnosed to correct a poor bite or tooth alignment problem. Dr Moore has successfully treated thousands of children and young adults over the past twenty-five years in his pediatric dental practice.
Also, wisdom teeth are continually evaluated during the teenage years by annual digital dental x-rays. When the wisdom teeth are ready to be extracted, patients are referred to an oral surgeon for extraction of these teeth. Depending upon the individuals growth and development, many patients have their wisdom teeth extracted before they enter college. By extracting wisdom teeth at this age, many problems are avoided including intermittent pain and swelling, crowding of lower front teeth and bite changes. Also, the pain and discomfort of extracting these teeth at an early age is far less than if one waits until these are extracted.
What are your office hours?
Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 am to 5 pm. We are closed for lunch from 1 pm to 2 pm. If a dental emergency occurs after regular business hours, you can always reach Dr Moore at 901.277.3075.
If you call after business hours and need to leave a non-emergency message, please call the office at 901.683.3993 and leave a message on our answering machine. We will return your call as soon as we reopen the office.
Can I stay with my child during the dental visit?
We encourage parents to stay with their child during the first visit; subsequently, we permit one parent/adult to accompany your child to the treatment area as long as they desire. As your child becomes older, we find that most children feel comfortable seeing Dr Moore and staff without mom or dad in the treatment room. For the safety and privacy of all patients, we request only one adult family member accompany their child to the treatment area per appointment.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You may call 901.683.3993, or contact us by email at email@example.com, or you can fax us at 901.683.8283 with an appointment request. Someone from our Front Desk staff will be happy to make an appointment or answer any questions you may have about our office.
How often should my child be seen by my Pediatric Dentist?
It has been our experience that regular six month hygiene visits help to keep our patients' teeth clean and cavity free. Children are growing and changing at a rapid rate during early childhood and teenage years. Regular hygiene appointments allow Dr Moore the opportunity to monitor the growth and development of primary and permanent teeth, the growth of both jaws, and the development of each child's bite as they grow from toddlers to young adults.
Our hygiene appointments are always in demand. We encourage our parents to schedule their child's hygiene appointment as far in advance as possible, especially during the school year when after-school appointments are in the highest demand. When parents schedule six months in advance, they are given first priority of appointments which best accommodates school or after-school activities.
Will I be reminded of my upcoming appointments?
If a six month hygiene appointment has been scheduled, our office sends out written or emailed notices of your child's appointment about 2 weeks in advance of that appointment. Additionally, our office will call parents to remind them of any scheduled appointments. At each Hygiene appointment, we ask that you update all medical and demographic information including all pertinent phone numbers and email addresses so we always know the best way to reach you to confirm appointments or in case of an emergency. Although we try to reach all of our parents about upcoming appointments, the ultimate responsibility of remembering appointments remains with our parents.
Changing appointments or broken appointment policy
In order to provide the highest level of dental care, it is important to maintain a respect for your time and our time. We work diligently to see our patients at their scheduled appointment times. Many times, we have a waiting list of patients wanting certain appointment times. Consequently, we request 24 hour notice if you need to change your child's appointment for any reason. This enables us time to contact those patients on our waiting list and to schedule them for their needed dental treatment.
If your child fails to show up for their appointment without prior notice ("No Show"), then a broken appointment fee may be charged as follows: $35 for a missed hygiene visit and $50 for a missed restorative visit. If an appointment is cancelled without 24 hours notice and it is NOT due to illness or family emergency, we reserve the right to charge a broken appointment fee in the amount(s) listed above. In such cases, whether or not a broken appointment fee is charged depends, in large part, upon whether we can fill the cancelled appointment.
Broken appointments are NOT covered by your insurance. Three or more occasions of No Show appointments could result in your family's dismissal and/or inability to schedule further appointments in advance.
Our front office works hard to accommodate the busy schedules of our patients and parents. The best way to avoid fees for broken appointments is to be sure to call us to reschedule as soon as you know there is a conflict. Remember, we would prefer NOT to charge any broken appointment fees.
Keeping your child's dental appointments is in the best interest of your child's health. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping all scheduled appointments.
What if I arrive late to my appointment?
For our last appointments of the morning and afternoon (12:20 and 4:20, respectively), if you are more than 10 minutes late, we will have to reschedule your child's appointment.
For other appointment times, if you are more than 10 minutes late, we may have to reschedule, depending on time availability.
Please understand that if an appointment has to be rescheduled it is because the highest level of dental care can not be accomplished when Dr Moore and staff try to "rush" through the day's remaining appointments in an effort to accommodate the late arrival of a patient.

So Nerf guns, I get. Sure, you can run out of ammo quickly for the rapid-fire ones and reloading is a pain in the arse, but it can be a bit of fun in the right circumstances. A Nerf ATV though? Yeah, not buying it.
OK, OK, it's a kid's toy and not designed with tactics in mind. I get that. But let's examine it as a children's plaything that you'd expect your kid to enjoy. I just don't see it.
The co-ordination involved is mental. You have to pedal, aim and dodge at the same time. All I'm seeing is a poor kid slamming into a tree, mid-reload, or reversing slowly while getting pelted by soft Nerf death.
That doesn't sound like fun. Surely not enough to warrant the hefty smile plastered on this kid's face.
No, this $US600 monstrosity is the sort of toy that gets pulled out once, before being consigned to the Garage of Forgotten Purchases.
What we really need is a Nerf exoskeleton. Make it happen, toy people.

FInd below great 10 points on how to be an inspiration in life to others from ManagementCraft.
I believe that to be a good person, truthful and humane are important part of being an inspiration to others. People at work life visionary people who have the courage to stand by their thoughts and words. Every manager ought to be able to see the world from other's standpoint without the noise of his/he own thoughts muddling the view!
1. Be a role model of courage. When our managers demonstrate courage, this will inspire us to do the same and we will respect them all the more.
2. Take a stand. Share your perspective and be open. The most inspiring leaders have a strong vision for how things ought to be.
3. Reject politics! Many of us are sick of politics and would gladly follow and respect leaders who rejected the mucky muck – even if we do not agree with him or her all the time. The wishy washy spin speak is nauseating.
4. Listen more, speak less. Show your employees that you value input and collaboration. This applies to your team members and peers – show them you respect and include your peers.
5. Beat your goals and don't rest until you do. Managers who are OK with mediocre performance (even if they can make the case that it's not their fault) are uninspiring. People want to work for successful leaders.
6. Spend time in their shoes. In fact, swap places with your employees every now and then. Show them you want to understand what their world looks and feel like. Bonus: You will learn tons!
7. Reject over the top perks. OK, so you earned the promotion. Don't flaunt your trappings and take a stand to reject perks that separate you from your team. Think about how you felt when you were in their positions. Try to spread the wealth on great experiences like conferences, trainings, product offerings, and other perks.
8. Represent your employee's needs to senior management and with your peers. Take the initiative to make things better. Wow, that will speak volumes about your intention to serve them and this is very inspiring.
9. Be the best expression of your unique style. We are all different, so don't turn into a corporate clone. That said, be the classiest version of you possible. Like a fine grape varietal, be the fullest expression of you.
10. Be inspired by others. Share your role models and why they inspire you.

Air Force Grounds Gliders Due to Safety
Associated Press Writer
The Air Force Academy is investigating whether its year-old gliders are safe to fly at the school's 7,100-foot elevation and whether the planes were adequately tested before they were bought, the academy leader said Friday.
The glider program was suspended last week after cadets expressed safety concerns. The 32 gliders in the fleet will be grounded until the academy's investigation deems them safe, Brig. Gen. Johnny Weida said.
"In the fighter pilot world we say it is time for a knock it off," the acting superintendent said.
Weida said the manuals for the new gliders do not detail flying performance above 5,000 feet.
Technicians extrapolated data from the manuals to try to determine safe operating procedures above 5,000 feet, but Weida said that wasn't good enough to assure the cadets' safety.
The glider program gives cadets hands-on flying experience with more than 30,000 flights a year, Weida said.
The Air Force paid $4.4 million for new gliders and motorized gliders to replace the academy's aging fleet. The first of the new gliders arrived in March 2002.
No cadets have been killed or injured flying the new gliders, but one cadet had to parachute to safety during a flight in October.
Weida said the investigation also will look into the leadership's decision to purchase the planes and whether they were adequately tested at high elevations before they were purchased.
If the investigation delays the fall flying program, cadets could be sent elsewhere for training.
"I would stand it down for a year if I had to as opposed to make a rush decision, a wrong decision, and have to explain to some mother or dad or how their daughter or son died in an accident," Weida said.
The school near Colorado Springs has been rocked by scandal since late January when dozens of female cadets said they were ostracized or reprimanded after they reported being raped.
The Defense Department and Air Force are investigating sexual assault claims that led to the reassignment of four top officers, and Congress has formed an independent panel to study the assaults.

Oilers rip Wolverines to open district
Pearland scored 24 unanswered points in the first half and never looked back as the Oilers defated Clear Brook 45-12 in a District 24-5A opening game played Friday at Pearland.
The Oilers (4-0, 1-0) remained undefeated as Coach Tony Heath's high powered offensive unit scored in every quarter and rolled up 468 yards of total offense. Clear Brook scored 12 points in the second half and finished with a total offense of 215 yards as Coach James Smith's Wolverines fell to 0-4 for the year and 0-1 in district.
Pearland went into the game with a total offensive average of 408.3 yards per game and a scoring average of 36.5. Both averages increased after a solid offensive and defensive effort by the Oilers. The Oilers have victories over Angleton (27-14), Spring Woods (42-0), C.E. King (41-0) and Clear Brook and have now won 20 of their last 26 games.
"Our kids came out ready to open up district play," said Heath. "Everyone was hitting on all cylinders and Jeremy (Brown) really had an outstanding game."
Brown, Pearland's leading rusher, gained 178 yards on 11 carries and scored three touchdowns while quarterback Noah Allen hit on 10-of-20 passes for 146 yards and one touchdown. John Barnett led Clear Brook with 100 yards on 19 carries and quarterback Matt Brumley picked up 51 yards on a 5-of-11 showing.
Brandon Roberson added 59 yards on five carries for the Oilers while Ryan Bell had one carry for 57 yards, Tom Rodruguez had five carries for 22 yards, Terrance Stubblefield two for seven and Travis Chamers one for two. Zach Golden had two catches for 42 yards, Kyle Jackson three for 27, Phelan one for 41, Brown one for 32 and Chambers one for two.
After Barnett's 100 yards Weichmann followed with 21 yards on 12 carries and Matt Brumley picked up 13 yards on eight carries. Matthew Fowler added 15 yards on four carries and Washington carried three times for 13 yards. Aaron Holloway had one catch for 39 yards while Cory Gammons had two for 19, Weichmann one for five and Barnett also had one catch.
Pearland scored nine points in the first quarter, and added 15 in the second while the defensive unit held the Wolverines scoreless. The Oilers added 14 points in the third quarter while Clear Brook had one touchdown. Pearland led 38-6 going into the final quarter and both teams added a touchdown in the final ten minutes of play.
Pearland opened the scoring in the first quarter when Brown picked up his first touchdown of the night with a 20-yard run. The Oilers missed the extra point, but Pearland led 6-0 with 6:15 left in the initial quarter.
Jacob Cotton nailed a 27-yard field goal with 2:26 left remaining in the first quarter as Pearland took a 9-0 lead. The Wolverines had three offensive series in the first quarter, but failed to get into scoring position.
The Clear Brook defense held the Oilers in check until the 7:32 mark of the second quarter when Brown scored his second touchdown on a 16-yard run. Cotton added the PAT and Heath's team led 16-0.
After Clear Brook ran two offensive series the Oilers took over and moved 72-yards in seven plays for their third touchdown. Brown had runs of 15 and 14-yards and Allen hit Kyle Jackson with a 15-yard pass completion. Brandon Roberson added the six points on a 26-yard run and a pass from Allen to Jackson ran the count to 24-0 with 2:13 left in the half.
Clear Brook came out in the third quarter and had some offensive success as the Woverines put six points on the board. Brandon Wiechmann scored on a 3-yard run, but a two point conversion pass fell incomplete. The touchdown cut the Pearland lead to 24-6 with 8:03 left in the third quarter. Clear Brook's scoring drive covered 70 yards in 10 plays.
Thirty-two seconds later and on their next offensive series the Oilers moved the count to 31-6 when Brown dashed 59-yards for a touchdown. Cotton added his second extra point and with 7:31 remaining in the quarter the Oilers had a 25 point advantage.
Clear Brook gave up the ball with less than four minutes to go and it took Allen one big play to give the Oilers their fifth score of the game. Rated as one of the top quarterbacks in Texas the Pearland signal caller hit Matt Phelan with a 41-yard pass and run play with 3:28 to go in the third quarter. Cotton's PAT was good and the Oilers lead jumped to 38-6.
Pearland scored on their first possesion of the third quarter when Roberson finished off a scoring drive with a 3-yard run. Cotton added another extra point kick and Heath's team now had a 45-6 advantage.
Clear Brook closed out the scoring with 1:56 to go in the game when Vance Washington scored the second touchdown of the game for the Wolverines on a 34-yard run.

Economic aspects of Tourism
The study is related to the impacts of tourism on the economy. This issue is most discussed in the countries where there is a lot of tourism activities take place. These activities help a country to boost up its revenue generations as people from different countries come to enjoy their vacations or their leisure time. However, these tourism activates provide sources to a country to become a develop nation due to the revenue generation but these tourists often make problems for the locals, for instance, in London due to the numerous tourists, people face problems at the London Heathrow airport due to its capacity. The decisions on tourism development cannot be left to the market alone, so the responsible authorities or the government should involve in these activities that is to increase the size of the London Heathrow airport.
Tourism affects the economic activities of a country, these affects often seem as the positive as the countries get various benefits from tourists but these tourism activities often make the countries to make changes in their infrastructure. Like in the case of London Heathrow airport where due to the capacity problems tourists and also the local people face problems. In addition, to continue and to facilitate the tourism activities which are considered as an important sector of an economy, the decision of expansion of the London Heathrow airport should be made. Tourism's popularity in the newly industrialized countries increased as a result of several important developments including: • Increased standards of living, especially with respect to education and literacy, as well as levels of disposable income. • Improvements in transportation technology, especially railways and steams hips which enabled more people to travel at a lower per unit cost. • Introduction of annual holidays and a 40-hour week for some workers, especially as a means of ensuring a healthy workforce. This provided more time for travel and recreation over longer distances away from home. • Improvements in print communication technology, which meant that there were more books, magazines and newspapers available to the emerging middle classes, at relatively low cost, in which they could read about travel and leisure experiences and opportunities. • A growing appreciation of the importance of leisure in society. As a result of these combined effects of the tourism at the London Heathrow airport, a mass travel culture began to develop as the newly emerged middle classes and upper working classes aspired to travel during their holidays. Governments and the private sector, especially railway companies, quickly recognized and encouraged these trends and thus tourism became another industry for making money. It became a tool to achieve certain goals of economic growth and restructuring, employment generation, and regional development through the provision of financial incentives, research, marketing and promotional assistance. These goals were, and still are, very important for governments at all levels around the world. (Tribe, 2005, pp. 10-335) Travel and tourism are vital elements of the world economy. They provide employment, tax revenues and development incentives to growing numbers of regional and local economies. In addition the travel and tourism industry serves to enable other industries to develop through its role in supporting business, meetings and convention travel, as well as providing an attractive leisure environment in many locations. This chapter examines the economic importance of tourism, its role in contemporary economies and its contribution to the livelihood of individuals in a destination community. (Tribe, 2005, pp. 10-335)To understand the tourism economy first requires...

In addition to the very real possibility that oil from the BP oil spill could have a catastrophic impact on the white sand beaches of Florida's Gulf coast, the state is also facing an ethical and fiscal dilemma of whether or not to sell the 15 million shares of British Petroleum stock the state owns as part of the state pension fund.
While it would seem like a logical move for the state to distance themselves from the company that might soon be responsible for the loss of billions in tourism dollars, the decision is not that simple.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Florida has already lost some $21.5 million by selling off devalued BP stock since the spill began on April 20th and the state stands to lose an additional $64 million if they sell their remaining shares now.
It's really a tough call. In a struggling economy and in a state that is likely about to face the some of hardest hits to their tourism revenue they have evr seen, that last thing they need is to lose more money, but then again how in good conscience can they keep money invested in a company that is responsible for many of the hardships the state will soon face.
While there is no clear answer to what Florida's fund managers should do in the situation I am certain that some thought will have to be given to selling the remaining stock, but it would be a real shame to for the state to lose millions more because of BP's actions.
What do you think they should do?

How to Work at Home as a Child Care Provider
Why Start a Family Home Child Care Center?
If you have small children or enjoy working with children, starting a home daycare may be the ideal job for you. You will have the benefits of working at home. In your home child care center, you can earn money and be there for your kids at the same time.
Home daycare is one of the most lucrative home based businesses for a mom with small children. It costs money to work outside the home. Daycare is expensive, especially if you have more than one child. Not everyone is eligible for a child care subsidy. Transportation to and from work can be costly, as can buying clothing for your job. Many women feel that they do not make enough money to cover the cost of daycare. Why not stay at home and make the money that you would have paid out for child care?
You will be performing a valuable service to your community. You will also meet a lot of nice families, and get some new playmates for your children.
You do not need a lot of money to start up a daycare. In fact as home based businesses go, childcare is an inexpensive one to start if you have children already. Your home is already childproofed and you have lots of toys and equipment to share. If there is anything else you need, most baby and toddler items can be found at garage sales and thrift shops. You can also borrow or rent what you need.
Of course, taking care of other people's children all day is not for everyone. Take this quiz to see if you are suited for this line of work:
Would you make a good home child care provider?view quiz statistics
How to Start Working as a Home Child Care Provider
So how did you do? If the quiz revealed that you should give daycare a try, and you agree, there are a few things you will need to do before you get started.
The first thing I recommend is to affiliate yourself with your local Child Care Society, if there is one in your city. You will get good advice on how to begin. Each province has its own rules and regulations on what you must have to run a daycare in your home, and your Childcare Society will know what you need to do.
Here in British Columbia, (I am sure it is similar everywhere) you need to do the following things before you can get registered to provide daycare:
- be at least 19 years of age
- get your first aid certificate
- have your home inspected for safety
- have your yard fenced in
- get two character references
- get a health reference signed buy your doctor
- criminal background check for you and anyone 12+ living in the house
- commit to at least 6 hours of training per year
Once that's done, you will officially be a Registered License not Required (LNR) childcare provider. You can now take in two children, plus your own. If you want to go all the way and become a fully licensed daycare, there are more hoops to jump through. I am not sure of them all, as I have not taken this final step, but I know it involves getting a business license, more inspections and more paperwork. It can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to get fully licensed. In the meantime you can try it out with two children and see how it feels.
And that is how you can start to work at home as a childcare provider.
Very interesting hub and one that every mom should read. I became a registered childcare provider from home for 14 years while my children were growing up. I only gave it up when I moved to England from Scotland 4 years ago. It was a great way to earn money while having the opportunity to be with your own children too. I now work in a local nursery as a nursery nurse, but loved the early years at home. Great hub and very interesting. Up and useful.
The idea is brilliant ...
Your good hub

Emailing those on a rota through My ChurchSuite
For each rota you create in ChurchSuite, a unique rota email address is also created for that rota. The specific rota email address can be located on the rota page within your Rotas module. Typically the rota email address is helpful for circulating swap requests, or to circulate prayer requests or special information about a change in ministry processes.
Essentially this email address can only be used by the rota members, which includes all ministry members (irrespective of whether the ministry is active or archived), ministry overseers and any ad hoc rota members with future service dates remaining that have been added to the rota but are not in the underlying ministry. Anyone who is not a rota member (ministry member, ad hoc member or overseer) is unable to use that email address and will receive a bounce-back warning.
Within My ChurchSuite > My Rotas, opening a rota will display the [email] Rota button (top right). Being a group email, messages are distributed to everyone who is a rota member.
In the Rota module settings in ChurchSuite, you have the option to designate how rota group emails should function. With Manage module or Administrator permission, go to the Rotas module settings (the cog wheel in the top right corner of the module). From there, select the My ChurchSuite tab and scroll down to the Group Email section.
Here you can specify how emails should be distributed - either to Ministry members or Rota members. Ministry members is likely to be more restrictive since messages will only go to those rota members who are in the associated ministry. Since rotas often contain ad hoc people who may have been added to a rota, but not to the associated ministry, you may prefer to choose the Rota members option. Save any module settings you change before leaving the page. Rota members comprise ministry members, ministry overseers and ad hoc serving people who are due to serve on a future date (but not those who have served their last ad hoc time on a rota).
A further consideration is that since a rota will likely cover a wide range of dates, rota group emails will be sent to all rota or ministry members contained in that rota with future serving dates remaining. Therefore if you've constructed highly elaborate ministry and role structures, perhaps in an attempt to combine several separate ministries into one rota, the email distribution list could become quite sizeable, resulting in people possibly receiving a considerable number of emails unnecessarily. We therefore recommend, where possible, creating a separate rota for each of your ministries and only for an appropriate length of time; perhaps a term or a quarter. This will ensure rota communications are directed only at those who need to know and in a timely manner.
Within My ChurchSuite, selecting [Rota] Email opens the email editor. At this time, email attachments are not possible (feature coming soon!). The email author can provide an email subject and compose the body of their email.
Before the email is sent, the author must specify how replies are to be handled within the group - choosing either to send replies to the author only ("Send just to me" - ideal where you just want to solicit a response or feedback), or to all the other group members too ("Send to me and all other group members" - ideal for discussions). Once this option has been set, all subsequent email threads related to the first message will follow this protocol.
My ChurchSuite rota group emails are closed-group messages that are private to the group members only and as such are not logged or recorded in ChurchSuite's communication logs. They are however visible in the My Communications log for each group email recipient, including the author. Rota members cease to receive Group emails when they are removed from the Ministry, or when ad hoc rota members have served their final date on a rota.
Note: A rota group email sent with "Send replies just to me" will disclose the sender's email address in the reply-to field of the email, in order for the replies to be routed back to just the sender instead of the group's email address (irrespective of whether "email is visible in My ChurchSuite" has been set to not be visible - it's not possible to send an email requesting replies to "just me" and not have the sender's email address disclosed). A rota group email sent with "Send replies to me and all other [rota group] members" will disclose the rota's private group email address in the reply-to field of the email ensuring that replies are routed back to all rota group members without disclosing all the rota group member email addresses.
Ministry overseers have an additional rota group email option, shown below - the "Append rota to email" option will append the rota and rota member list to the body of the email before sending - just like overseers can do when they first publish a draft rota. This may be helpful when there is a significant update to a rota that you want to put in people's inboxes to alert them to the changes.
