In April of 2007, I had the privilege of escorting the 2007 CSP Convention staging contest winner Kimberly Stowe, from Prince George, BC, to London, England. An expense-paid trip and attendance at Ann Maurice's 2 Day Property Presentation Workshop was her prize. Obviously one of the things we did was tour the highlights of the city. We had afternoon tea at Harrods, shopped the fashionable districts, saw the Tower Bridge, Crown Jewels, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Nelson's Column and many other wonderful things. It was a great time – whirlwind but memorable.
Everyone puts the Queen and Buckingham Palace together, but Windsor Castle is actually her official residence. This is the place where in 1992 fire broke out in the private chapel, causing major damage. The restoration work is amazing though – and as every cloud has a silver lining, thousands of artisans had to put their skills, knowledge and abilities to craft work they never even dreamed of having the opportunity to do.
Built by William the Conqueror as part of his defences around London, the 13-acre palace is the largest inhabitable castle in the world. As I wandered the halls and rooms of the 1000-year-old fortress observing how over its history it evolved to fit the needs and tastes of successive monarchs, I obviously found my mind pondering h ow it would need to feel to a potential buyer in the rare event it went up for sale.
Staging a castle is much the same as staging a house only on a much larger scale. One thing which really struck me while touring Windsor was t hat it really felt every inch a home – not a castle. It is grand but not opulent; it has family photos (all over of course), extravagant draperies, personal color choices; the rooms are large but the scale of furniture helped to make each place feel right – it just felt like someone else's home. I have toured many places and castles in Europe and throughout England but it was the only place that ever resonated as a home. Approaching staging for sale would have to start with targeting the buyer who would most likely be able to purchase it and then assessing how that buyer would want to live in it. Staging property is much more of a science today than cleaning, clearing clutter and completing deferred maintenance.
So whether your home is your castle or actually is a castle it still needs to be staged for sale and working with a CSP will always ensure knowledge or leading trends to get the property sold faster and for the most equity.

Dating at 57
Not Dating at 57
I opened my eyes, after 21 years of marriage and I do not recognize the world. I remember having a conversation with one of my sons. He was explaining to me that sometimes you may meet someone and see them a few times, and then the man vanishes without a word. My son explained to me not to take it personal. My son admitted, that he was not proud that he also had pulled the vanishing act. I was shocked at this information. I remember if you did not want to continue seeing a man, or vice versa, you called them up and told them so. I also remember going to nice clubs, seeing someone across the dance floor, your eyes engage, and you dance, and have a nice time. Now, they may slip a rape date drug in your drink. I have seen that happen. I have heard many woman rave about their Internet dating. Years ago my girlfriends posted an ad in a local newspaper for me without my knowledge. I received photos of oily naked men. I will admit I have searched the dating sites, and i can not understand why all the men have no hair and look the same. They look like mug shots. Or they are trying to look sexy, and they look stupid. I have read some profiles and once they write about their sexual desires, that's enough for me to stop reading. They all are athletes, and are all looking for beautiful, skinny, models. I am very skeptical posting pictures online, I just do not feel comfortable. It is not because my picture is bad, I just feel vulnerable. I am very independent and speak my mind. I do not like the way I look in pictures, I never thought I photographed well enough. Maybe I am just afraid, to jump in to the new world of dating. I hear the stories about the Craig's list killer, the Match. Com murderer, and who would not worry? I have not dated in 6 years, believe me I make all kinds of excuses. If it is raining it is an excuse. I moved back to civilization, and I received an invitation to a meet your neighbor party. I am going to move out of my comfort zone and go to this party.I was always working before, and used that as the excuse. Time is too short to waste any more time. I will not sign on to the dating sites. I will set goals and complete them. I will not hide any longer with excuses. I use to be happy, and I need to find happiness again. Perhaps my next article will be about who I met. One does never know what is lurking around the next corner.

Madeleine Elder is a political and regulatory risk specialist at Cefeidas Group, an international advisory firm based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her focus is on healthcare. All views expressed are her own.
Health policymakers around the world face mounting challenges, from global health crisis management to strengthening health systems and confronting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Creating resilient health systems to respond to global health issues needs more than the coordinating and financing efforts of the WHO and World Bank. Stronger systems also require political leadership.
It was therefore encouraging to see German Chancellor Angela Merkel and G20 health ministers commit for the first time to greater global cooperation on health through their Berlin Declaration in May. Merkel called on Argentina, as president of G20 in 2018, to not forget the topic of health. Argentina will follow Merkel's request and uphold the group's commitment. But regionally, it can do more.
Argentina should make health a key topic of the G20 summit. It must consider how stronger systems can contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It should incorporate Latin American & Caribbean (LAC) interests in health on the agenda, provide lessons from the region, and call on heads of state to prioritise health. In the meantime, Argentina should join, and call on all national governments in the region to join, UHC2030, a global partnership administered by WHO-World Bank, which promotes collaboration for health systems strengthening (so far, of the countries listed, only three are from LAC—Chile, El Salvador, and Haiti).
The Americas have made progress in health in recent years. A number of countries have implemented reform focused on UHC. Public health spending increased in 22 countries between 2010 and 2014. And in 2014, PAHO member states adopted a regional strategy for universal access to health and UHC.
However, corruption scandals, rising medication costs, high poverty and inequality rates, and unstable economies present serious challenges for LAC governments in the sustainable financing of service delivery. Infectious diseases remain a concern and recent epidemics like Zika suggest that more coordinated preparedness is required. Prevention and control of non-communicable diseases continue to be necessary.
Meanwhile, political and economic turmoil in Venezuela has led to an acute health crisis. Reports state that cases of preventable diseases such as diphtheria, malaria, tuberculosis, Chagas disease, and dengue are all up. A study conducted by three key Venezuelan universities found that 74% of respondents involuntarily lost an average of 8.7 km in weight in 2016. In addition, the Venezuelan Health Observatory reported that maternal and neonatal mortality rates increased significantly last year (data on stillbirths do not appear to be available). Health outcomes will only worsen as the country sinks deeper into a dictatorship. As refugees continue to cross borders, this matters to the region—on all accounts.
Argentina, with its highly fragmented health-care system, is by no means immune to challenges. Historic economic mismanagement and inflation have made financing difficult (for example, PAMI, the state health insurer for over 5 million pensioners and retirees, is in a state of financial distress). High prices and shortages have made access to medications problematic. But Jorge Lemus, Argentina's health minister, has taken steps to strengthen the system, putting Argentina in a credible position to progress the regional health agenda as G20 head.
Health reform unveiled last year shoots for UHC. President Mauricio Macri's government wants to better connect around 15 million uninsured patients to the public health system and improve the quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the treatment they receive. Although he faces immense political and economic pressures, Lemus has promised to act in a number of areas to improve access to medications, data collection, and patient care (boosts to financing, the implementation of an interoperability medical records system, and the creation of an independent health technology assessment agency, HTA).
Despite the recent changes, the system still faces huge challenges. The alleged underexecution of budgets, restructuring within the national health ministry, and changes to programmes have led some to criticise the government. But existing efforts to better align Argentina with PAHO are promising. Argentina has been engaged in PAHO pushes towards strengthening the assessment of medical devices and pharmaceuticals for some time. Its medications, food, and medical technology regulator (ANMAT) has again been awarded regional reference centre status. There is talk of a medications bill to change regulation around R&D, manufacturing, distribution, and the prescription of medicines. Some lawmakers have put forward bills to regulate the packaging and advertising of fatty and sugary foods and beverages. Meanwhile, Argentina played a leading role in a recent declaration by Mercosur health ministers. They committed to the joint procurement of high-cost medicines.
As the first South American G20 host, Argentina has the opportunity to meaningfully incorporate LAC interests into the broader G20 agenda. During its first 19 months in office, the Macri administration has made concerted efforts to reintegrate Argentina with the region and the world. It must now more actively and vocally prioritise health on this reintegration agenda.

Hi hope you are all well. I did a portrait session for a lovely family on Sunday (2 Brothers & their sister) it's a portrait for their Mum. They did tell me that they would need it quite quickly, they made their selection yesterday lunchtime (1 off framed, mounted and heatsealed 14″ x 11″ and 4 off heat sealed 7″ x 5″s) and I am pleased to say that they will be ready in the morning, not too bad. Here are the pictures they chose.
This was the big one taken at the back of the Botleigh Grange Hotel.
Hopefully their Mum will like them.
Hardley anyone leaves a message which is a bit depressing because for all I know no one is actually looking here. I have made it easier to leave me a message as you no longer have to be logged in to leave a message.
That's it for now see you soon, Colin

text: If anyone has even glanced at my recent posts in this sub-forum, you've no doubt seen my new love with MJ bags. In less than a week I've gotten a taupe Blake and a cashew Stam hobo. I hooked!!! I keep seeing other MJ styles I'm drooling over, but before I go any deeper into the "dark side" I wanted to get some feedback from you long time MJ fanatics. First question: What has been your experience on the workmanship issues with his bags? Any problems with things breaking, threads spliting, zippers jamming, hardware tarnishing or peeling, etc. I know some of you had some issues with opening the kisslock closure I've had lot of kisslocks back in the day, so that's not a problem. In the world of designer bags his are relatively (and I do mean relatively) reasonable, especially watching Prada prices go through the roof this fall. Even so, $800-1500 isn't pocket change so I want to get an idea of the longevity factor in terms of quality. Second question: I know gives his bags women's names (celebs maybe?), but where the HECK did "STAM" come from???

Choosing The Right Fuel
Premium petrol is always best right? Wrong!
Think you're buring too much fuel? Did you know by choosing the right fuel for your car you can save money and possibly extend the life of your car?
Petrol is rated using the Research Octane Number or RON such as 91, 95, 98, 100 or even 103. The RON number grades the fuels resistance to 'pre-ignition' or firing before it should due to heat from the engine.
Is a higher grade fuel better for my car?
A lower number doesn't mean lower quaility - the grade signifies how much heat and pressure the gasoline can resist before it detonates. Higher grades can withstand higher heat and pressure than lower grades.
Why does it matter what grade of fuel I use?
Car engines work by igniting a mix of petrol and air with a spark plug to generate power. If the spark plug hasn't fired and the detonation happens early due to heat and pressure it creates a condition called "knock," which can damage a motor and reduce power.
It's called 'knock' as that is the sound made when the fuel mix detonates too early rather than burning smoothly for fuel - which means you aren't getting the very best from your car..
If your car is making any kind of knocking noise you should contact Eagle Auto Care in Eagle Farm today.
How do I know what grade of petrol to use in my car?
To discover which fuel is right, read your car's manual or check the label on the inside of the fuel filler door. Generally high performance vehicles need a higher octane fuel.
Remember, putting premium petrol in a car that doesn't actually need it does not make your car faster or perform better, it will just drain your bank account that much faster!
Trading Hours: Open Monday to Friday 7:30AM to 5:00PM

Love this one
January 19, 2012 § 1 Comment
I love this guy. He brings so much joy into my life. Right now he is sitting at my feet with his toothbrush in his mouth (his new favorite "toy") deciding whether or not to fuss. He's teething, and has a lessened appetite and is clingy. And sometimes, it drives me nuts. But he is a quickly growing up baby boy who needs the comfort of his momma…or not, as he just crawled away and is now standing on the bottom stair leading to our third floor, shaking the baby gate door, toothbrush still in fist.
In regards to the photos above: I took them earlier this week. I was trying to put on his clothes after taking his jammies off, but he grabbed his onsie and crawled away with it as quickly as he could, giggling away. So, this little photo shoot ensued. These were basically the only ones that weren't super fuzzy. I try to document these moments, because they truly are precious.
I will take a whiny, clingy, not feeling well baby any day. It's my job and my calling, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you, Rafe-man.

text: We have seen fewer pictures recently of Charlie the worse for wear, but Guido suspects he is hitting the bottle again. How else do you explain his wild claims that his party was now "the real opposition". He also warns Blair that there will be no coalition, saying it would "be absurd … to prop up somebody else". When he could of course be propping up the bar. Sadly its like a drunk short guy offering to fight the biggest guy in a pub. Gets attention, but ends badly.

Owner returns from grocery shopping to find electric luxury sedan on fire.
Prior to its market debut, the Fisker Karma seemed like a lot of smoke and mirrors, but since its introduction, it has turned out to be a lot of smoke and fire. Case in point, another Karma has caught fire on the road.
This time the unfortunate extended-range electric sports sedan was all ablaze in Woodside, California, where firefighters were caught on film putting out the flames. The fire concentrated around the driver's side of the car. Fisker was quick to release a statement confirming damage did not affect the lithium-ion battery or electric motors, while noting that the car was not being charged at the time. Fisker's engineers are investigating the cause of the fire in contact with the owner. A further statement will be released once the investigation has been concluded and the cause of the fire determined.

The older versions of android phones and tablets may now greet the Google Assistant. According to the sources, Google is introducing its new virtual assistant based on voice also to smartphones that support Android 5.0 Lollipop version.
The extension arrives after the Google Assistant was brought by the company to smartphones that support Android Marshmallow and higher ones on February. At same time, Google also plans to bring a digital helper for the first time to tablets.
Maksim Mukha, the Program Manager for the Google Assistant wrote in a blog post that, "With the Assistant on tablets, you can you can get help throughout your day—set reminders, add to your shopping list (and see that same list on your phone later), control your smart devices like plugs and lights, ask about the weather and more."
The company has also started pushing its digital assistant to Lollipop smartphones with a set of languages to English in the UK, US, India, Singapore, Australia and Canada as well as those with a set of languages to Spanish in Mexico, Spain and the US.
Google is also rolling the same out to the users of Lollipop smartphone in Italy, Germany, Korea, Japan and Brazil. Mukha added to write in the blog post that, "Once you get the update and opt-in, you'll see an Assistant app icon in your 'All apps' list."
This latest digital feature is supposed to be rolling out on tablets over the coming week in the US to the slates that run on Marshmallow and Android 7.0 Nougat with the set of languages to English.

Changes to permit applications and inspection requests
As part of our commitment to improving how you do business with District Hall, we are upgrading our system for managing permits, licences, inspections, and other service requests.
Our new system — an industry-leading software platform that streamlines workflow, improves collaboration, and increases productivity — is being rolled out in three phases. The first phase launched March 7, 2016.
Are you a contractor or trades person? Here's what the changes mean for you
The first phase of our upgrade involved giving District staff new digital tools that they can use to share and process information more quickly and easily, even when they're out in the field.
For you, this means:
- improved turnaround times for your inspection results
- less time spent communicating with multiple departments or visiting multiple service counters
Here's what you need to do differently
To accommodate these first changes, we have made some minor adjustments to how you submit your application and schedule your inspections.
Submit electronic versions of your documents and plans
If you come to District Hall to submit your documents or plans, you need to bring electronic copies on a USB drive, as well as your usual paper copies.
If you only bring in paper copies, we will charge you a small fee to scan them:
- A1 plans — $2.50 per page
- Letter or legal size — $0.30 per page
- Tabloid size — $0.50 per page
Do you apply for your permits online? There is no change to the way you submit your plans or drawings.
Schedule your inspections by 2:30pm
Your electrical, plumbing, gas, heating, fire sprinkler, and building permit inspections will need to be scheduled by 2:30pm on the day before you require the inspection (the previous cutoff time was 4pm).
Learn more about scheduling inspections
Review the required inspections checklist
Other changes to watch for
In addition to the new system, we are also moving towards a risk-based approach to inspections where higher performing contractors may be subject to fewer municipal inspections. This is in line with numerous other municipalities and the BC Safety Authority approach to inspections currently.
Simplifying the way you do business
Thank you for your patience as we make these important system upgrades, and watch for updates about the future phases of this critical business transformation project.
If you have any questions about this project — or how it will change how you work — please get in touch:

the lost man chronicles
book two: the art of love
making multiplicity possible
Ah, comfort, it is such an paradox isn't it? We strive to find a nice companion to relax with and then we all-too-soon discover the gloom that is complacency.
I believe one can care for many. It is only that we are taught that it is most convenient to merely care for one, and that by conceding to the formula that we are misled to conceive, that we end up believing multiplicity impossible.
It most certainly is not. I have and still love many. And anyone who disagrees is delusional (at least in my mind). Because, really, it is merely a matter of the mind. Mentally we are able to be free to appreciate, to yearn for, to care after, to wonder about, to remember, to regard as precious and tender all and every good aspect of all and every bad and great person we have ever known. It is only the social obligations and the individual expectations that come with the attachments of the mind that have us inclined toward keeping it simple.
But allow me to confess a secret. I know that love is truly impossible to monopolize, if not monogamize. Love has no boundaries; it is only easier to think it does. And it remains ever so true that it is a many-splendored thing that really can be applied to anything and anyone. It is only when you attempt to lock it into a commitment that it tosses and turns and begins to burn a scathing hole in your hand, if not your heart.
So be smart, and as secure as you would prefer to be, never grip too tightly. For then you are liable to let something slip through. Let you be you and he be he…or she, if that's what the man wants to be. And then you both won't have to end up so unnecessarily tortured and unhappy. Even as a couple, people must make an effort to allow the other to be, remain and grow as an individual.

As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive Type-A father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response—all the while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad.The journals of Nick Twisp continue. . .Part II: Youth in BondagePart III: Youth in Exile All available through Blackstone Audio Apps.Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing.

Jeanne Eidex is an Atlanta native, former saxophone playing band geek, and early author of several ground breaking gerbil stories.
After considering a degree in music business, she focused on a long term fascination with researching the human mind through experimental psychology.
Because market research combines experimental design with business success, Jeanne was drawn to this specialty and began her career at a small research firm where she primarily focused on statistical programming, project management, and analytics.
After 5 positive years, she moved to a position at a larger firm that provided the opportunity to work with qualitative techniques including focus groups and in-depth-interviews (IDIs). This business also housed a concept testing laboratory, a CATI phone room and provided exposure to multivariate analysis techniques along with the exciting bonus of flying in a company airplane. Here she worked for clients like PNC Bank, SAAB Motor Company, See Rock City, and Birmingham Board of Tourism.
By December of 1999, the time Jeanne decided to follow her dream of opening a research boutique. She was and still is committed to using and maintaining the latest technology and techniques and many of her early clients included other MR firms who did not have in-house programming or bandwidth for particular projects.
While a great deal of clients were and are fellow MR firms, her first client was an energy company called UtiliCorp (now Black Hills Energy) followed by JP Morgan Chase, Coca-Cola, Turner Broadcasting, Johnson & Johnson, Arthritis Foundation, Cox Radio and UC Berkeley. As President of Eidex Group, she has been privileged to train and mentor an amazing group of highly intelligent women who worked together to grow the business into larger and more sophisticated business ventures.
Along the way, she partnered with another firm specializing in medical device testing on items like breast implants, surgical adhesives and sealants, and auto refractors. She continued to gain medical experience under the Eidex Group umbrella studying anti-depression medications, rheumatoid arthritis patient programs, and HIV regimens through chart studies, in-depth interviews, and quantitative surveys. Today her experience across a multitude of industries provides inspiration for innovation and current projects range from government mandated studies for engineering firms to medical device testing.

Aple.de.ap Completes "The Voice of the Philippines" Coaches
Apl.de.ap (The Voice of Hip-hop) completes the panel of the voice coaches as he joins Bamboo Manalac (The Voice of Rock), Sarah Geronimo (The Voice of Pop) and Lea Salonga (The Voice of Broadway). Together with Toni Gonzaga and Robi Domingo as the hosts, The Voice of the Philippines will start airing on the second quarter of 201under of course, the Kapamilya network ABS-CBN.
|Image from: BidaKapamilya.blogspot.com
He also added that "We're barely scratching the surface. Pinoys are born to sing. So we just got to go find them in the nooks and crannies, in the provinces, the outskirts of the Philippines, there are just so many."
After knowing all the names of the coaches that joined this show, only two words I managed to say immediately, "That's cool". It excites me more to see its pilot episode soon and watch those some of the
Philippines music icons and prides, Bamboo, Sarah, Lea and Allan Pineda aka Apl.de.ap all in one show.
I have seen a few episodes of The Voice where Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Christina Aguillera are two of the coaches and it is the "Blind Audition" portion is what I like the most.
So what does it mean? I will definitely set the date and watch the first episode of The Voice of the Philippines.

The Benefits of Sleep and How It Can Help Your Child Get the Most from Their Tutoring in Honolulu County
The Academic Benefits of a Good Night's Sleep, And How To Get It!
Sleep is essential for life. It is a time during which the body can rest and divert its attention from active functions to processes such as a healing and repair. Sleep is also the time when the brain is most active and requires the most energy – it is even more active than during wake! This is because, during sleep, the body focuses on creating new pathways in the brain as well as consolidating others. A child aged 12 to 18 years old should be getting 8 to 9 hours of good-quality sleep every night. Unfortunately, with classes starting early and all the distractions of our 24-7 modern society, it can be tough to ensure that your child does not become sleep-deprived. Studies have shown that even relatively mild sleep deprivation can lead to problems with focus and attention, memory loss and an inability to concentrate. Therefore, if your child is regularly missing out on hours of sleep, it could be having a serious impact on their ability to learn. Luckily, help is at hand!
The Tutoring Center of Honolulu
has put together this selection of 'top tips' to help make bedtime less of a nightmare!
Send Caffeine Packing!
This potent drug affects the nervous system, causing an increased heart rate as well as making you feel more alert and less tired. Excellent news for adults wanting to be more productive at work, but not a good idea for children trying to get a good night's sleep. Coffee is not the only beverage which contains Caffeine – it is also prevalent in sodas like Cola and is present in small amounts inside chocolate! The effects of caffeine can last for a long time in the body, so it is best to not to let your child consume it after midday to promote a peaceful rest at night.
Develop Good Habits
Sleep specialists recommend following a 'bedtime routine.' This means, doing the same things in the same order every night before going to bed. Psychologically, this alerts your brain to the fact that bedtime is coming and that it is time to start winding down. The earlier that you introduce the idea of a 'bedtime routine' into your child's day, the easier it will be to implement and the easier it will be for your child to maintain it. Have you noticed that your child has been struggling in their classes? It could be more than a sleep-related problem, and they could have trouble understanding the lessons being presented.

Create a 'Technology-Free Zone.'
Almost everyone nowadays has a cell phone and/or laptop computer, including many children and teens. Some scientists suggest that the type of light emitted by these devices can stimulate the brain, making people feel more awake and making it hard to fall asleep. Others feel that they are simply an unwelcome distraction that can prevent your child from getting enough sleep. Most experts recommend removing these items from the bedroom after 'lights out' as they have been found to cause insomnia and many other sleep problems.
Bedroom Basics
Your child's bedroom should be a place where they feel comfortable and relaxed enough to fall asleep. Talk to your child about their preferences – do they like complete darkness and silence? Or perhaps they need a little bit of light and noise to feel comfortable. Night lights can be useful, or leaving the radio on at a low volume. If your child prefers low noise but becomes distracted with the radio, consider a white noise machine.
Keep Bedtime Constant
The body has a natural rhythm that controls our drive to sleep and urge to wake. This is known as the 'circadian rhythm.' It works best when sleep times and wake times are roughly the same every day. It can get very confused when these times change, like when we travel to another time zone and experience 'jet lag'. Help your child to benefit from their natural circadian rhythm by keeping sleep times and wake times constant.

They didn't win a pot of gold, but those attending Ramona Chamber of Commerce's "St. Patrick's Lucky Mixer" in San Vicente Resort agreed they had a good time. They exchanged business cards, enjoyed a catered corned beef dinner, shared business tips, conversed with friends, and welcomed new chamber members.
If chamber member Beth Edwards with Edwards Vineyard & Cellars had been there, she would have won the $1,000 rollover jackpot prize. At the end of each monthly mixer, a member's name is drawn. If that person is present, he or she wins the $1,000 rollover jackpot. If not, there is no winner that month and another name is pulled at the end of the next month's mixer.
A special feature at the St. Patrick's mixer was a troupe of dancers from Ramona/Julian Academy of Dance performing traditional Irish dance.

Serving the county for nearly 50 years, the Otsego County United Way has created an exceptional organizational structure that strengthens the community.
From its first 20 years when the organization was all-volunteer through today when it is fortunate to have several paid staff, volunteers have been the foundation upon which that structure rests.
"We have fabulous volunteers and always welcome more," said director Lorraine Manary. "One hour, one day — whatever they have to offer, we have a plan for them. Our mission statement is 'Uniting volunteers and mobilizing resources to support effective programs addressing community needs in Otsego County.'"
United Way's Volunteer Center matches, trains and coordinates youth and adults to assist in a variety of community programs. Among the center's volunteer possibilities are transportation assistance for those requiring cancer treatment in Petoskey; participation in community holiday projects; youth community service and summer programs; and projects that honor community volunteers.
The United Way-sponsored Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) matches the skills, knowledge and experience of adults 55 and older with various programs and projects. Among the organizations they assist are United Way, American Red Cross, First Call for Help, Salvation Army, Otsego Memorial Hospital and the Otsego County Commission on Aging.
"We are planning a Day of Caring for this fall, and we need projects as well as volunteers for this one-day event," said Manary. "We ask nonprofits and community groups what needs they have. The projects might take just a few volunteers or many."
Possibilities for volunteer participation in the Day of Caring include landscaping, painting, playground projects, weatherization or a variety of other hands-on tasks.

A Vietnamese court recently sentenced 22-year-old blogger and journalist Nguyen Van Hoa to seven years in prison for reporting on the 2016 Formosa spill that devastated the Vietnamese coast. Arrested in April, Hoa had produced video footage, photos, and articles about Taiwan-owned Formosa Plastics Group's April 2016 toxic chemical spill from its steel plant located at the port in Ha Tinh. According to state-run media, he stands accused of "propagating against, distorting and defaming the government."
The People's Court of Ha Tinh province found Hoa guilty of violating Article 88 of Vietnam's Penal Code and also ruled that he be placed under house arrest for three years after his jail term is complete. No attorney was present to represent Hao in the closed trial.

Dark Horizons has posted a report from someone who apparently witnessed a key scene being filmed for Batman Begins.
"The sequences that they have been shooting in London have been mostly Arkham Asylum scenes for which they are using the awesomely creepy and immense Kings Cross St Pancras Hospital in London," the scooper claims. "It's a gothic structure and personally if I was ill and was taken there I'd be pretty sure I wouldn't be getting out alive &#Array; seriously creepy."
They add that the filmmakers "have just shot the scene where Crane transforms into 'The Scarecrow' and apparently it does involve the traditional sack mask!" Dr. Jonathan Crane's costume is "linked into the character's madness and as it's happening it's not supposed to register that this is the 'getting the costume' moment of the film, it's meant to be a 'purely terrifying moment'."
Check out the full (and slightly spoilerish) report here.
DH also points fans towards Finely Made Films, which has posted QuickTime video of a scene being filmed on the Amstutz freeway in Waukegan, Illinois. The scene is part of an extended car chase sequence between the Batmobile and Gotham City police.

Tough call, Irish-German as well so tend to root for Germany, but also a Spurs fan so England and Belgium are other teams I hope do well.
October 12th, 2017 at 1:37 PM ^
It would be fun to see England have a deep run. That country would go bonkers.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:14 PM ^
For family/friend reasons.
I also enjoy the Iceland underdog story.

Allez Les bleus
October 12th, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
You stole my comment.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:17 PM ^
.... game.
Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
- Gary Lineker
October 11th, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
I always root for Deutschland so it won't be any different. I even have a jersey.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
Why would anyone watch the World Cup now? 1. It's soccer and 2. USA is not playing...
October 11th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
why millions of Americans watch the EuroCup.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:42 PM ^
I like when people throw around "millions".
There are 326 million in the USA. A million people is 0.3% - nothing.
The largest soccer viewership in USA history, the womens world cup was 25 million or 7% of population.
111 million watched the Superbowl, or 34%.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:51 PM ^
Just to play devil's advocate, I'd argue a high percentage of soccer viewers more actively engage while watching vs the viewers of the super bowl, a sizable portion of whom just have the game on in the background during a watch party while not actually watching/caring about the game itself.
That being said I'm definitely not trying to argue that more people actively watch soccer than the super bowl.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:53 PM ^
And yet the EuroCup in 2016 still had bigger ratings than the CopaCup. There is still a draw for top international soccer competition even when the USA isn't playing
October 11th, 2017 at 10:47 PM ^
And the reason is....
October 12th, 2017 at 6:12 AM ^
You're telling me you've never watched any of the CFP then?
October 12th, 2017 at 2:24 PM ^
well CFP is football and we are talking about soccer.
Are you trying to say that any playoff type event should be watched? Cuz I'm not watching single elimination chess tournaments any time soon, although that may be more exciting than a World Cup with no USA
October 12th, 2017 at 2:23 AM ^
past the first round of the knockout stage in years the US is in it.
Because some people like to watch good international soccer and want to see who wins the best tournament in sports.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:29 PM ^
...because there's only two things I hate in this world:
People who are intolerant of other people's cultures; and,
The Dutch!
October 11th, 2017 at 10:30 PM ^
I'll pick an African team with a nice feel good story. And England. I have a masters in English, so why not.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:35 PM ^
I am in a huge huge minority but i almost always root for England if they're not playing the US.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:31 PM ^
Poland and Iceland - and if they make it, Ireland and Peru.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:35 PM ^
Being a Chelsea fan, about 1/2 the team is or was Chelsea property. This way I can keep weep when I see KDB and Lukaku dominate.
October 11th, 2017 at 10:46 PM ^
Arguably top 2 best player in our generation. I prefer him to others because he seems to go about his business, rarely dives and I've never witnessed a game where he fakes an injury to draw a card. He seems like a classy player (Real Madrid fans will likely disagree) and he's delivered for his team. I'd like to see him win one to cap off his career. Sucks Pulisic will be watching from home. He's the best U.S. player I've seen and shows a lot of heart, unlike some of the other players on the pitch last night.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:18 PM ^
I agree with you on all points. I am rooting for messi in this one but I'll be keeping a close eye on all my Man City boys. Jesus Fernandinho and Ederson with Brazil, David Silva bosses games for Spain, Kompany and KDB along with Hazard and Lukaku make Belgium a very entertaining side. Aguero and Otamendi with Argentina, Gundogan and Sane for Germany, Stones, Sterling and Walker for England and Bernardo Silva with Portugal all make for a lot of games to watch.
October 12th, 2017 at 12:25 AM ^
"Arguably top 2 best player in our generation."
The word you're looking for is "unquestionably." The word "arguably" really only applies to him when discussing his placing amongst Maradona and Pele.
Hard to understate how incredible it is that two all-time greats in Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo have risen and stayed head and shoulders above the rest together at arch-rival clubs for so long. Their talent, their performance, their impact... it's incredible. The only real disappointment is that neither has really played for a great WC side that could use their talents. Maybe Messi does something great next summer, but history is against him.
October 12th, 2017 at 1:41 AM ^
doesn't qualify as a great WC side? Messi was thissss close to getting that ultimate prize. Many contend that if he had won that WC, he could/should be considered the best of all time (with Pele or Maradona as the competition).
In 2006, they had the second highest odds (per oddsmakers) to win the WC and in 2010 they had the fourth highest odds.
They've always had a great WC side capable of winning it all (except maybe this year).
October 12th, 2017 at 2:21 PM ^
Thanks for the comment, this is good healthy discussion. I'm too young to consider Pele as part of my generation. He did most of his work in the 60s, early 70s. Others will argue that Maradona or/and Ronaldo are better players than Messi, partially because they've won trophies at the international level. I don't know enough about soccer to engage in those conversations.
"Maybe Messi does something great next summer, but history is against him", is all the more reason for me to root for him. Root for the underdog, and hope that one of the greatest of all time can bring home a trophy for his country. I assume he's a GOD in Argentina. Is there a bigger word for him if he brings home the world cup trophy?
*btw, I always enjoy reading your posts*
October 12th, 2017 at 3:55 AM ^
But also my wife is Argentinean, which pretty much makes me Argentinean (futbolisticamente).
When they lost to Germany in 2010, it was on her 30th birthday. It was.. not the best party of her life.
I'm still not over the 2014 final. I'll never be over the 2014 final. It ranks up there with a short list of Michigan' greatest football tragedies (which I shall not name here out of courtesy to the rest of you, but yeah, I know you have your list that likely overlaps significantly with mine). Losing the final in extra time, especially after completely blowing two gifted chances (Higuain and Palacio) during the match was devastating to the fans. I cannot imagine how it felt for the players. I've lost countless hours of sleep thinking about it, and I'm just some guy. Though Messi's face when receiving the Golden Ball kinda sums it up.
Then they went on to lose two consecutive Copa America finals, both on shootouts.
They're disorganized and are not likely to perform well unless they significantly change their approach. Most of their best players are about four years too old to excel. But with Messi, they have a chance. The guy deserves it. He's going to play his heart out. I hope he wins.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:14 PM ^
Teams I will root for in order of preferance......Mexico, Germany, Poland, France, Spain. Pretty realistic chance the winner comes from that group so yea me !
October 11th, 2017 at 11:23 PM ^
Strong German heritage in my family. Grew up always hearing my grandparents speak the language to each other.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:28 PM ^
Island and Deutschland

Garden / June 6, 2018 / Oriane
Continue Reading
You do not need a large area to have a vegetable garden. You do need good soil, plenty of sunshine, a water source and probably a fence. If you think the deer love your Hostas, the entire woodland community is going to enjoy your vegetable garden. If you plant it, they will come. If you have a small sunny spot in your yard, or even on your patio, you can grow vegetables.
Granted, a small space vegetable garden may not be enough for subsistence farming, but it will be enough to grow great tasting tomatoes, some beautiful heirloom eggplants or an endless supply of cutting greens.If you have limited space, consider what vegetables you can purchase fresh in your area already and what vegetables you truly love or miss.

5 Signs of Middle Age Crisis in Men
Sigs of middle age crisis
What signs does middle age crisis show? Men in their middle ages often wants to escape because of the reasons like pressure from family. Is this a kind of disease? Have you reached middle age? Please look at the following 5 signs.
1. Bussiness
For many middle aged men, bussiness is regarded as the most important. If bussiness runs into trouble, they choose to be silent or escape. In addition, because of the oppression he has, he could not relate the relationship of things and make wrong judgement, some even take extreme actions, like to commit suicide to escape from the crisis. Especially when the effect of global financial crisis has not ended, many of the bussiness is falling. As a middle aged man, they would not choose to share or pour out what he has been facing, leaving all the problems to themselves. It forms a vicious cycle and cause some serious outcomes.
2. Pressure from family
If a middle aged man got married early, the child has already grown up or becomes a teenager, the financial burden they have to bear is great. The pressure is the most important reason for causing family changes. Middle aged man would not want to confront with the fact that they are aged, they try to prove through emotional attachment that they still have the power over it. But meanwhile, he does not want to ruin the stability of the family, so they tend to choose one-night stand or spending time in bars etc. His wife maybe undergoing the same crisis as well and the probability of clashes increases and making it a flash point for family change.
3. Learning not updated
Middle aged man has been away from school for a long time, especially they don't have time for continuous learning or improving themselvs. They tend to cope with problems from family and work with their old knowledge. Under such kind of conditions, their relationship with children may be worse. They get along with their children in a old way prevailed in the early fourties or learned from their parents. The gap generation is too obvious and cause problems with their children. Their knowledge has not been updated in their bussiness and not making progress. The competition from new comers can kick them out easily.
4. Psychological state of escaping
Here we refer to the psychological changes of middle aged men. The menopause of modern people is leaning toward younger group, as a man, his biological menopause influence is not obvious, the more is indicated in psychology. Including negative moods like depression, restlessness, irritability, exhaustion, self-pity, escape, dullness in life. The most serious of them are depression and escape. Different from women, man don't tell the people around them to get rid of the bad mood. They tend to escape the remarks and reminiscent in their past glory, acquiring satisfaction or escape from the status quo.
Signs of Middle age crisis in men
5. Enclosed relationship
The crisis in relationship rests on the personal emotional changes and learning abilty. They are satisfied with the status quo, meanwhile repel new things. A middle aged man has the same group of people around him, they have the same kind of mood and learning ability, living in a static environment. It causes to have stubborn and sealed off relationship and entering into a senior ages early.

Rapper who met With Obama Says There Will be Riots if Trump Wins 2016 Race
There are tons and tons of folks who are refusing to jump on the Trump Train for various reasons, but it seems only those coming from the left advocate committing acts of violence if The Donald becomes the presidential nominee.
Like rapper Tef Poe for example, who met with President Obama back in 2014 to discuss race, police brutality, and the Ferguson riots.
Poe has informed "white America" that black people will be "inciting riots everywhere we go" if Trump wins.
From Daily Wire:
According to Ebony, the activists said, "President Obama told us he was proud of us as a former community organizer. White House meeting shows this movement is working."
Tef Poe reemerged this week to inform white people that if Trump wins, black people "are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go"…
The rapper deleted the tweet and then went on the defensive claiming he never tweeted it and that he's now a victim of slander.
But the rapper tweeted this below and has yet to delete it…
Tef Poe is not alone in the prediction of riots if Trump wins. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors told MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry that "any opportunity we have to shut down a Republican convention, we will."
We are living in some seriously scary times, people.
Wouldn't it be grand if not every issue was twisted into some social justice rant against racism or something? I mean, I totally get not supporting Donald Trump and feeling he isn't the right man for the job.
Threatening riots? Putting people in danger? Sorry, but that's unacceptable.
It's time for Americans of all races to stop playing into the hands of the radical left and their plots to divide us along racial lines, undoing all of the hard work of civil rights giants who came before us.
By all means, oppose Donald Trump. Protest against him and attempt to educate folks on why he isn't the right candidate to lead our nation. Just do so peacefully. There's no reason for anyone or anything to get damaged or hurt over a presidential election.

Lynn M. Holley is an executive consultant to the arts. She is a writer, curator of gallery art and films. Early in her education she studied art history, the basics in color and design, and studio art, painting, print-making and life-drawing. Attracted more toward the liberal arts of poetry, philosophy and literature, she became a journalist, film reviewer and the the editor and publisher of two feminist newspapers, and additionally, with her academic work, published one of the first high technology magazines in the country: Technology NY. However, constantly interested and immersed in movies and films, she is now the founder and director of two film-festivals: the International Fine Arts Film Festival and the international 3-Minute Film Festival, both of which have been screened at SBCAST in 2016 and 2017.
As an ardent member of the Untied Nations Association and the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, and its former executive director, Lynn's philosophy is one that promotes integration of all the arts as a belief and practice within all cultures, and that a single form of artistic expression does not rise above the value of others. Educated with multiple degrees in Humanities, Communication and Museum Studies, she promotes a practice of allowing everyone to express themselves thorough their chosen art discipline. This thinking allows her a freedom in curating, producing, and exercising her own creativity. To that end, she is one of the resident curators and supporters of SBCAST, as well as the founder and curator of Art at the JCC, a large gallery experience within the Greater Santa Barbara Jewish Federation. The latter encompasses not only Jewish-themed exhibitions once a year, but a wide-range of shows from local artists to international photographers, and of collectors of historic significance, all with relevance to contemporary issues and interests.
In 2012, as executive director of the Marco Island Center for the Arts, a large Florida education and exhibition non-profit, Lynn created a lecture platform that included a 90-image power-point entitled:The Dance of the Muses From Las Vegas to the Louvre. It's based, in part, on her dissertation from the University of Leicester, England, in 2007. She has given this presentation in both California and Florida, and continues to present it at different venues. In 2016 she was brought to England to present it as a featured contributor for the international conference on the Museum as Global Contemporary.
Lynn has worked as a dean and department head in academia, as the executive director of numerous non-profit organizations in New York, Florida and California. She has been a media consultant to politicos, government and corporations, including American Express; and she has been the publisher, editor and writer of magazines and newspapers. In Santa Barbara, she was the managing director of two International music festivals, with media coverage from around the world: The 2004 International Tango/Malambo Festival was a 6-venue offering, including movies, dance, UCSB multi-media show, plus an extraordinary and diverse Tango music from the SB Symphony; and the 100th Birthday Celebration of Mexican Classical Composer Silvestre Revueltas was an 11-venue offering that included UCSB and a museum exhibition. The centerpiece of the festival was the SB Symphony playing his Oscar nominated score under the screening of the Mexican film Redes, at the Arlington Theater. Lynn also wrote and produced Broadway Women and their Music staring Lucie Arnaz, in New York, and other celebrity productions for a musical stage.
Lynn has received awards and recognition from a variety of associations including, but not limited to the New York State Addy Council, a Gold Medal and other awards from The Council for the Advancement of Secondary Education (CASE), in D.C.. Lynn is a member of International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, the Santa Barbara University Club, the Santa Barbara Associates, and the United Nation's Association, Santa Barbara Chapter, begun in 1946, the year before the UN was formally established. Lynn believes that a look at history can offer clues (not solutions necessarily) to the present state of affairs. She is currently at work on a film script for a spy-story, based on true events from 1950; and a new 3-Minute Film Festival that requires an original score of music. Lynn's main mantra is: Without risk there is no progress.
