Finn and I stand there, frozen, on top of the roof, the wind dancing around us, and the trapdoor smacks against the stone as it flings open. Nothing seems to move except the small particles of dirt as the thing that has been chasing us through the tunnels of this weird dimension climbs up to face us.
The first thing I see is the dusty black hair on top of…the guy's head. The guy. It's just a…guy. Not going to lie, I'm a little disappointed.
As he heaves each foot up step by step, I take notice of the rest of his tall but thin body. Under his scruffy black hair is some sort of mask, a deep brown color, covering his entire face with two bug-like glass bubbles for the eyes. It looks a bit like a mix between a gas mask and plague doctor mask, minus the long nose. The guy's skin is completely covered, clad head to toe in clothes of brown and black. What sticks out is a thin silver wire of sorts, which snakes up his right arm,way up to his neck where it seems the wire-thing attaches to the mask-thing.
After what feels like forever, his black boots touch lightly down on the roof, and only then do I see what the wire really is. The silver thing winds down around his arm to land firmly in his right palm, extending out into a weapon of some sort. It's tiny and sharp, the very tip scratching lightly against the roof as his hand hangs at his side. A small part inside me insists that the weapon is so small it couldn't possibly hurt, but a smarter piece of me listens to the cue I get from Finn, who immediately stiffens at the sight of the guy.
A second passes between us, a slight whistling of wind the only sound. The dude just stares across the roof, about twenty feet away, not moving a muscle. Finally, I can't take it anymore. Finn and this guy might be able to just throw menacing looks at each other, but the silence is too much.
"You know, we didn't order any pizza." I say. "I thought maybe the running-away would clue you in, but I guess I wouldn't say no to breadsticks."
I wasn't expecting an answer, so when I hear a deep laughter through the mask, my breath catches. Finn must be surprised too, as his eyes narrow and his head cocks slightly to the right.
The man's voice is lighter than I expect, but it comes out a little Darth Vader-esque with the mask. "What can I say? The Searu deliver."
Finn audibly growls, and he takes a half step to his right, so he's partially blocking my body from view. I, however, am just surprised someone in another weird dimension actually gets my sense of humor for once.
"Know him?" I ask Finn under my breath. He doesn't get a chance to answer before this Searu dude responds.
"He knows of us." He chortles, but his body posture doesn't move an inch, still as a statue. "The Searu tend to avoid the famous Finnegan."
"Ah, yes," Finn says, low and controlled, "definitely have heard of the Searu. Always been a bit offended I hadn't met one of you before. Flattered, by the way. Who was it?"
I think this is the exact moment I decide to give up on trying to not feel confused every second that I'm out with Finn. So I just let the conversation continue.
"Anonymous," he says, his tone now flat and almost bored, "but reliable."
Finn snorts. "They better be. How much? It better not be less than a hundred thousand, because if it is, anonymous is really ripping you off. I can't even tell you how many people want me dead."
With his last word, my eyes go wide. Oh. This guy isn't just trying to kill us; he's been paid to kill us. The…Searu or whatever are like mercenaries. I guess. Another day at the job…this weird, weird job.
The mercenary's mask-face looks at me, in my moment of realization, and I get the bad feeling that he's smiling under there.
"Usually the prey are less concerned with the pay," he stops for a moment as if to consider, "but it's…satisfactory."
Finn gives me a tiny nudge as his eyes scan the room, probably looking for some way to get us out of this. But the mercenary lifts his right hand, the one with the wire looking thing, and he gives the slightest motion. The wire whips, making it straighten with a slight crack, and his masked face tilts down. Something about this movement makes me think he's done talking…
"Oh, come on now." Finn flips his sword handle over in his hand, the only sign that he's anxious. "I'm sure whatever he's paying, we can match, make an arrangement, sort something out, that kind of thing."
The Searu takes a step forward, apparently declining Finn's offer. Nothing Finn's saying has been doing anything, so I figure that I might as well do a second stupid thing today. At least I'm consistent. I step to my right, from around Finn's back and into the mercenary's full view.
"Ooo, a shiny little wire! I'm so scared!" I flash him a smile and keep stepping away from Finn. If I can just distract him away from Finn for long enough, he'll figure something out…hopefully.
I cast a sideways glance to Finn for a split second, hoping he's picking up on my half-plan, and his eyes are narrowed, but his jaw is set. He's mad about it, but he can't think of another plan. I'm getting better at reading him. Either that, or I'm spending way too much time with him.
"It's a drepe." My bait works, as the mercenary locks on me as I prowl the edge of the roof, wind whipping at Finn's coat across from me. "The preferred weapon of the Searu. Light, sharp, packs a sting…"
"Question," I interrupt, keeping my eyes on him, slowly sidestepping the edge of the roof and putting on an air of confidence, "how'd you know we were in this dimension?"
He doesn't answer.
I keep going, the questions spilling out of me. The mercenary stalking around me, slowly hunching down as if preparing to spring. "Do you know what this place is? Did you cause the earthquake? And what about the Door? You make it disappear, or move, or whatever? What happened to this underground city? And since we're underground…"
I trail off. Finn's eyes are narrowed, and I realize he came to the same conclusion I had. He licks a finger and holds it up into the air, his coat whipping about around him in the wind. The mercenary, between the two of us, straightens suddenly, looking around between his mask, probably noticing it too. He doesn't know either.
I finish my conclusion, saying aloud what we're all thinking. "If we're underground, how is there wind?"
Sorry this installment is so short! Tunnels: Part 4 will be up next Thursday!

Once again the Democrat party is out to silence dissent. A few days after the passage of Obamacare, several major US corporations released statements that tax provisions in the new law would make it difficult for companies to continue to provide prescription coverage to retirees. Under former President George W. Bush's passage of Medicare Prescription Drug coverage, the government gave tax breaks to companies that continued to provide coverage for retirees. Those tax breaks have been eliminated under the new bill.
So far, AT&T, Verizon, Caterpillar, Deere, Valero Energy, AK Steel and 3M have announced that the new tax provision will make it far more expensive to continue providing prescription benefits to retirees. They have said that in the future they may have to reduce or even cancel the benefit. AT&T announced that they will be taking a charge of $1 billion (that is billion with a b) against earnings because of the provision. That does not sit well with House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry "Bat Boy" Waxman.
Waxman has sent letters to company executives calling them to Washington to defend their assessment that the legislation will cost them millions. He is also demanding any internal documents related to health care finances, including their analysis of the new legislation. The letter states, "The new law is designed to expand coverage and bring down costs, so your assertions are a matter of concern...They also appear to conflict with independent analyses."
So let this be a lesson to you, America. Release any news that in any way contradicts legislation passed by the politburo and you will be summoned to appear before them.
Just some of my random thoughts on news, events, or anything else that happens to strike my fancy. Enjoy your visit and feel free to comment

There are many buzzwords out there in the nutrition space. Three big ones right now are organic, local, and plant-based – all words that you may have seen in articles and food labels, but perhaps wondered what they meant. Are they all buzz, or do they represent something more? This month, I'd like to shed some light on the meaning of the words you are hearing, and offer up suggestions on why they may make a big difference in your diet.
When someone you love is consumed by addiction, there is nothing you want more than to help them. But addiction is a complex medical condition.
I am open to a little bit of magic in my day. I will let something come….and I will let something go. I will appreciate a blessing and I will release a resentment. When I appreciate, whatever it is that I am giving thanks for, seems to grow inside of me, it brightens, it expands. When I let go of a resentment, I am releasing something I am holding onto and I am making room inside of me for more good to come in.
I hear some people have trouble with therapy, that it can take years for them to open up to their doctors, let alone cry or break down. Not me. Day one, I told my therapist, Amy Bernstein, "I'll just tell you everything, and we'll go from there."
Though some observers argue that we live in a "secular age," religion remains central in many Americans' lives. More than half of us describe ourselves as "religious" and worship regularly in churches, temples, and mosques, mostly churches.[1] The number was even larger in previous generations, and, in truth, far more grew up "religious" than not. For most of us, religion was a positive influence in childhood: a set of beliefs, a way of seeing the world, and a pattern of ritual that offered meaning, comfort, and community. But for some, religion proved a source of trauma.
Epigenetics refers to the study of a natural phenomenon and to the phenomenon itself. Epigenetics is the study of the mechanisms that turn on and off the expression of our genes without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetics is also used to refer to the changes in expression of our genes.
Digital staff writer for the Books desk at the New York Times, Concepción de León, discusses her experience with trauma and her therapeutic journey in "How to Rewire Your Traumatized Brain".
We need to feel the stories of our lives in order to heal them. But trauma is all about not feeling. Even asking the question, "Can you tell me about your trauma?" can be befuddling if not disturbing for the client who has learned to put their head down, turn off their sensitivities and mush on.

THE BUZZ: Everybody loves Skyrim, but not everybody makes a rock music video out of it. Shame on you! Actually shame on us. YouTube can barely contain the awesome spilling out of it. BYU's Men's Chorus along with a number of other creative folks took it upon themselves to create this terrific rendition of Skyrim's theme song. Becoming the Dovahkin is an exciting moment in every young hero's life this is the proper way to celebrate.
EGM's TAKE: Our favorite part is the scene with the greybeards. There's isn't a lot to say, what is awesome shall always be. From the helmets, to the guitars, from the chorus to shouts, the music video is dripping with personality and oddly enough the authenticity of Skyrim is remarkable.

Research and Development Center for Teacher Education.
Peck, Robert F.; Bown, Oliver H.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v1 n4 p106-126 Summer 1968 (Georgia Univ., Athens, Coll. of Education)
The first half of this report is a description of the funding, the concepts, the programs, and the evolution since 1955 of the Research and Development Center for Teacher Education in Austin, Texas. The second half is concerned with the program of the center which, in 1968, was reorganized to focus on two areas within the framework of individualizing teacher education: (1) the effects of teacher education on teaching behavior including the effect of this behavior on child learning and (2) the development of a teacher education system composed of "instructional modules" which explain, improve, and objectively measure teaching competency. Guidelines for instruction of teachers developed from research include psychologically sequential studies, early and varied involvement in teaching, a personalized and individualized curriculum, adoption of tested innovation only, a multimedia library of resources, systems of interaction analysis, information on behavioral science, and an effective instructional procedure. Also included are construction steps in teaching procedures for the "instructional modules." Future work includes further research on teacher behavior, instructional modules, and new kinds of teacher educators. An 84-item bibliography is included. (SM)

Powercolor Radeon RX 560 Coin Mining Card For Sale
Powercolor is now offering a new Radeon RX 560 4GB card aimed at miners. The model AXRX 560 4GBD5-AM is available at Newegg here. Its only a 90 day warranty, a 6 pin power connector, one dual link DVI-D connector, and it has a dual slot cooler. One would imagine that dual slot cooler and 6 pin connector will help with overclocking BIOS mods.
I can not find a listing on the Powercolor website with any details like clocks. I don't see how less ports for video helps this product out long term from a resale standpoint. It exists and is in stock at a price that is higher than a 560 4GB should be, but that is our world now. There appears to be no set limit to how many you can order.

National Nutrition Week Dinner
On Saturday, 15 October, a very special dinner will be taking place at the Bridge House School in Franschhoek. For a very reasonable fee, guests will enjoy a delicious four-course meal prepared by some of South Africa's top, award-winning chefs in one of the most scenic parts of the country. And what do diners get in return for their time and sampling some of the tastiest dishes around? The chance to make a difference to the current hunger crisis by sponsoring a child's meals for a full school year... The initiative is part of an effort by the Peninsula Schools Feeding Association (PSFA) to combat hunger in the province's schools. The concept behind the National Nutrition Week Dinner is to use the same ingredients that PSFA uses to feed hungry school kids to create gourmet dishes for those attending the event. The likes of Neil Jewell from Bread & Wine, Moreson, Margot Janse from Le Quartier Francais, Reuben Riffel from Reuben's, and Darren Roberts from The Restaurant, Grande Provence will be working their magic in the kitchen and creating four unique courses for guests to savour. The world-class dishes will be conjured up from ingredients such as carrots, pilchards and samp, and even rice, butternut, sugar beans and jam. As Reuben Riffel puts it, 'We are cooking with ingredients that the kids eat every day. As education is a priority it is surely of utmost importance that kids focus on learning instead of dealing with hunger'. All four chefs are clearly passionate about the cause. If you'd like to join in and help raise awareness there are still tickets available. They cost R370 per person and can be bought through psfa.org.za. For additional information you can email Andy Du Plessis from the PSFA on firstname.lastname@example.com or call 021-447-6020. Your inner foodie will be in their element with the many treats to tantalise your taste buds – and even better, you'll be feeding a needy child for an entire year. So, eat up!

More than two in five (43 per cent) firms are reliant on external web professionals to help create and maintain their websites, says Fasthosts.
Research by the web hosting company revealed that 56 per cent of these companies said if their web expert was unreachable they would be unable to implement changes to their website.
Two thirds of companies don't have the contact details or passwords for the provider that hosts their website, while 70 per cent admitted not all of their domain names are registered in the name of the business owner.
Furthermore, 70 per cent of firms don't have a back-up copy of their website.
A quarter of the companies that use external web firms admitted that problems experienced by the web designer, such as staff shortages or technical issues, had lead to their website being offline, while 17 per cent said this down time cost around £1,000 in lost sales and lost staff time.
"For many firms, using external web professionals is a very sensible and rewarding option. However, it is vital that all businesses take simple measures to retain some basic control of their website and protect their investments," said Steve Holford, marketing director at Fasthosts.
"Should arrangements suddenly change, business owners should be equipped to make changes to their online identity and maintain contact with their online audience. The web designers we work with always recommend that clients at least keep a back-up copy of their website design".
Holford also said too many small companies are failing to ensure that their valuable domains and their web hosting are registered in their names and are accessible to them.
"As external parties can come and go, it is vital that businesses protect themselves from potential disruption, losses and reputation damage that an off-line or out-of-date website can cause".

This is, basically, the photo that made us want to go there. We finally did. Although we have many lovely photos from our own trip, lack of a helicopter caused us not to get this one. So when we decided to adorn the walls of our new house w some Lake Louise pix I went looking online and found this. Something struck me about it, though...the glacier is dirty. Must have been taken during the few weeks that there isn't snow every day. The glacier was sparkling white when we were there (June) because almost every day it got a fresh coat of snow. Dirt aside, looks great and we love it.

I absolutely love this print. Unfortunately the blemishes from the technique or originally on the metal do create a distraction from the piece. I positively disagree with vendor's statement that it's part of the process and not to be considered a flaw...baloney!!! I have other metal prints that have no flaws. I will give them credit for trying to resolve the issue with 3 attempts with the print but each arrived with flaws. However, I am keeping it because I love this print so much and I will live with it.

The North Park Hockey League feels it is vital to do what is best for the athletes and at this time is recommending concussion baseline testing before each season. With the recent focus on the negative effects of concussions on the long-term health of athletes, especially of those athletes in the most physical contact sports like hockey, they felt if was time to team up with a company that delivers the most reliable test procedure. The North Park Hockey League is one step up relying on brain injury experts with no ties to one test but what is best for each individual from baseline testing, clinical assessments and management at Concussion Management of New York.

U.S. District Judge Dominic Squartritio found Northeast Utilities' executives deliberately kept employees near retirement in the dark about retirement packages in the works that were substantially bigger than the ones they received. In all, the judge's decision impacts 15 retirees of the company who were awarded up to $150,000 in retroactive benefits and as much as $1,000 more a month in benefits in the future, according to a Hartford Courant report.
This alleged policy of secrecy went all the way to the top as the company's executives did not tell Northeast Utilities' human resources staff about retirement packages being prepared that would grant additional benefits to retirees if they waited a few more months before leaving the company. Thus, retires that asked the boosted enhanced retirement packages in 1991, 1993, and 1994 were directed to human resources staff, but the staff were unable to tell them about any enhancement to benefits because they were unaware.
A spokesman for the utility firm said the company was considering an appeal.

Nursing homes are supposed to be a place for elderly individuals to receive a high quality of care from skilled professionals. Unfortunately, there are situations in which nursing home employees are negligent, which often times leads to serious injury or death.
New York state prosecutors have charged a total of nine people in connection with the death of a 72-year-old nursing home resident.
All nine individuals, who were former employees of the Medford Multicare Center for Living, Inc. nursing home, have been arraigned with each one pleading not guilty to the charges.
According to prosecutors, some members of the staff ignored an alarm for two hours, despite the fact that it sounded every 15 seconds. As a result, the patient died. Some of the employees told investigators that the alarms where not working when records showed otherwise. Along with this, there were people who claimed they saw the man alive even though investigators know he had passed away at the time.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said, "Today's indictment sends a clear message: We will arrest those who put our most vulnerable citizens in harm's way, and in particular those who neglect or deny life-saving medical treatment to patients. We must and will do everything in our power to protect our nursing home residents from abuse."
There is no place in a nursing home for this type of negligence and abuse. If the employees of Medford Multicare Center for Living, Inc. had been doing their job, this patient would have received the appropriate attention, which could have saved his life.
When a nursing home resident dies from abuse or neglect, the family may be able to pursue financial compensation from the employee, his or her supervisor and the facility. An experienced New York wrongful death attorney can provide valuable advice as to a family's legal options.

Before the school holidays, our school organized a Kursus Jenazah. We were taught on how to bathe them, how to wrap them up, how to pray jenazah and all those things. Because nowadays, people doesn't even know how to manage a person's death and all that especially us teens. Don't you think that when our parents died, the only thing that we can do to make them proud or to repay them back for what they've done for us for all these years is just to at least manage their dead body or in this case to uruskan jenazah mereka. Apparently people these days do not know that this is a responsibility to them, it's a fardhu kifayah thing which means that some of us might as well have to know how to do it.
So I think that this programme would be something good and a beneficial programme to participate.
Here are some of the pics we took . Enjoy :)
So remember, death will come unannounced so always-yes always- be prepared for it .
Jannah is our final and forever destination, InsyaALLAH :)

My Dad As... Darth Vader
May I introduce to you, Darth Greg. I have gotten few replies from readers as to what I should create my dad as for each week. The one person that gives me great responses is the author of ANIMAL, VEGETABLE OR MINERAL?, Mr. JB. Therefore, I decided to grant one of his requests. Even though I am not a Star Wars fanatic, I think that you will agree that this is pretty hilarious. I find it harder and harder to pay attention to my dad on a Sunday morning. I cannot seem to get these pictures out of my brain. Some people may think that this is disrespectful or something, but I can assure you that my father thinks that this is just as funny as I think it is.

Jesus is My Homeboy. Offensive or Not?
I have seen this t-shirt in many, many stores before. It is all over the internet and I have seen a lot of people proudly walking around with this shirt on. Some people find the statement "Jesus is My Homeboy" kind of offensive. I do not know what to think really.

There's a popular commercial that begins with depictions of various people from different walks of life engaged in tedious office duties, yard work, and household chores. Nothing to capture the viewer's eye, except that these laborers are all wearing motorcycle gear and helmets as they perform these ordinary tasks. In each scene, a forlorn soul trapped in a droll existence begs to the camera like an abandoned puppy, "I wanna ride!" Then, cue the catchy, rockin' jingle: "I wanna ride, I wanna ride, I wanna ride, I wanna ride!" Fast and furious freedom bursts onto the screen in pulsation to the beat. Board members and housewives hit the open road on their blazing motorcycles, rebelling against empty servitude and confinement.
I can relate.
When I was a preschool-aged child, I loved the sound of certain words. When I discovered one I liked, I'd repeat it over and over again, savoring the inflections and letting the sound run across my tongue like a connoisseur at a fine wine tasting. I couldn't read yet, and I wrote my J's backwards, but I was already fascinated with the palpable power of the English language.
Even when I did learn to write, I didn't. I took piano lessons, rode my bike, and joined the Girl Scouts. I wrote when my teachers said I had to. I thought everybody could write just as easily as they could read. Never mind that my sixth grade teacher confiscated my creative writing assignments and informed my parents that she was keeping them for herself. Apparently, she saw something special in me, but she never told me. Nobody told me. I wish they would have.
As a teenager, besides accessing my writing skills at school, I occasionally wrote about my awakenings in love and spirituality. I didn't think of myself as talented. I was just a girl who was willing to mull over the contents of her heart. Maybe that in itself was a gift, but I didn't realize that either. Later, college didn't even make me smart enough to connect with the waiting writer inside of me.
Because this is only a blog and not a book, suffice it to say that from there, my adult life did not revolve around prolific bouts of writing. I graduated from letters to e-mails along with the rest of the world's populous. But, no, I did not write extensively or for an audience.
I fell backwards into publishing when I was asked to write a book review for a magazine. It paid only twenty-five dollars, which didn't explain why it elated me in a way that writing a book review shouldn't. It felt a little too good, so I pushed it aside. Real writing was for glamorous dreamers with feather boas and people who didn't have a basketball team of kids to raise.
When my life did a one-eighty that dropped me into the middle of the raging sea (read Falling in October for the story), my ofttimes buried love of writing floated to the surface and became my life raft. I rested my weary feelings on that safe pillow, clinging to it in the storm like a strong, old friend. That life raft took me to shore, where God used writing to give me the land legs to stand on my own two feet again. Who needs therapy when writing so perfectly displays both your prayers and the clarity of their answers on the same page?
They say there's no such thing as an overnight success. A talented actor or rock star will seemingly materialize out of thin air; but the truth is, toil and trouble preceded that grand entrance. I've got that "toil and trouble" part down pretty well. So far, no red carpet has been unrolled in my direction, but notoriety is neither the point nor the goal. The point is that I've come by this slowly and honestly, starting when I pondered my first fifty-cent word at age three. The goal was never a goal at all, and still isn't. It's just the final acknowledgment of a meaningful gift. I've kept it on the shelf for the majority of my life, so maybe it's time I relieved Mr. Shelf of that tiresome duty. I'd like to adorn him instead with a few treasure-filled volumes, written in collaboration with the talent he lovingly held in reserve for me. I bet he'd like that better than a bow tie.
For years, I didn't dare step outside of reality to tap into my creative imagination–not the way I was meant to. Even more astounding is that I actually lived an eventful life that was anything but run-of-the-mill. Why didn't I write about my significant experiences the way I could have? I don't know. Was I just too busy to think about it? I just know I can't say the dog ate my homework. But now, after monumental upheaval and reinvention, I can finally identify that perpetual, whimpering sound. It was that sensitive, abandoned, brown-eyed puppy in me…all along, begging, "I wanna write!"
Here it is–the open road. Time to hit it with an exhilarating, fast and furious freedom. In pulsation to the beat, rebelling against empty servitude and confinement, I've embraced a grand purpose and my ultimate adventure. Cue the catchy, rockin' jingle: "I wanna write, I wanna write, I wanna write, I wanna write!"

Former Doctor Who star David Tennant is tackling another British cultural icon as he lends his voice to a new version of James Bond adventure On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Tennant is one of a dozen actors reading Ian Fleming's Bond novels for 007 Reloaded, a series of audio books set for relase in September.
Also involved are Homeland's Damian Lewis, Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville and Toby Stephens, who played the part of Bond villain Gustav Graves in 007 movie Die Another Day.
Kenneth Branagh, Jason Isaacs, Bill Nighy, Dan Stevens, Rory Kinnear, Hugh Quarshie and Martin Jarvis will also each record a new unabridged recording of one of Fleming's tales, with Rosamund Pike the only female to voice one of the spy adventures.
Of course, each actor is narrating the story as a whole, rather than taking on the part of 007 per se - but it does lead us to wonder which of them would make the best Bond. Enter the RadioTimes.com poll - cast your votes below and let's find out who would be the spy who you loved...

The first of six races belong to middle-school aged students from the eight cities and towns of the Boston Marathon course – Hopkinton, Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton, Brookline, and Boston. Participants must be between the sixth and eighth grade, and be residents of the city or town they choose to represent. The 1,000 meter race kicks off not long after the conclusion of the B.A.A. 5K, and the participants loop across the Boston Marathon finish line, before finishing in front of hundreds of cheering fans.
After the middle-school athletes have finished, the high-school-aged participants take to Boylston Street for the 1-mile race. Like the Middle School 1K, the 16 participants in the boy's and girl's Scholastic mile must be residents of the city and town they choose to represent, and between the ninth and 12th grade.

DOWNLOAD: Manchester United vs Chelsea 2 – 0 (16-04-2017) Premier League – Highlights & All Goals (video)
Manchester United vs Chelsea Highlights & Goals Premier League, April 16 2017.
1-0 Marcus Rashford
2-0 Ander Herrera
English Commentary.
Manchester United's unbeaten run will be put to the test on Sunday, when the Man Utd will play host to Premier League leaders Chelsea. Chelsea need to keep winning to hold Tottenham tunespur at bay in the title race. A loss on Sunday would leave the gap at just four points, adding some late drama to the Premier League season.
7′ GOAL, UNITED LEAD, An exquisite pass from Herrera curls around David Luiz and releases Rashford. He cuts across the Chelsea centre-back with his first touch and sends a cool finish beyond Begovic! HALF-TIME: Man United 1-0 Chelsea, A thoroughly impressive first half from Mourinho's side puts them 45 minutes away from an important win. Rashford scored the opener inside seven minutes, and Man United have been in control from there.
Darmian and Herrera have largely marked Pedro and Hazard out of the game respectively. 49′ GOAL, UNITED HAVE ANOTHER! Rashford's deep free-kick delivery is kept alive by Young. He drives into the box and is tackled by Zouma, who ends up stabbing the ball straight to Herrera. He fires a first-time Chorth at goal that deflects off Zouma and beats the wrongfooted Begovic to find the net!

Labour and Skills Training
Skilled labour is critical to any farm operation. Trained employees increase farm productivity and efficiency. Additionally, with sufficient labour, farms are able to add value to their products which creates an opportunity to increase revenues and grow markets.
The Canadian Agriculture Human Resource Council (CAHRC) conducted a study across Canadian farms and the agriculture industry to identify the gaps and associated costs. The report analyzed the needs, barriers and opportunities for each of the provinces. The Nova Scotia report discovered in 2014, 9,200 people were employed in agriculture and 15% of those were made up of foreign workforce. With that, there were 500 jobs left unfilled which lead to $15 million in lost sales due to labour shortages. The report projected that in 2025 there will be 11,300 workers required in the agriculture industry. Between 2014 and 2025, CAHRC anticipated 29% of the workforce will be lost to retirement, creating a labour gap of 3500 people.
Through the NSFA Labour and Skills Committee, action has been taken to educate the agriculture community in areas such as finances, computer use and more through the Nova Scotia Department of Labour and Advanced Education's Workplace Education and Workplace Innovation and Productivity Skills Incentive (WIPSI) programs. While these courses have proven to be extremely valuable and well received by industry, there are other skills that must be worked on in a different fashion than the Workplace Education model.

Are campaigners in the north of England set to ask for more than George Osborne's "northern powerhouse" proposals? The first meeting of a Northern Citizens Convention (NCC) was held this weekend in Huddersfield – an umbrella group explicitly modelled on the Scottish Constitutional Convention with academics, trade unionists, politicians, activists and two Ministers packed into the crowded venue.
The loose aim is to win the same powers as the Scottish Parliament – but there's no agreement yet on the number of assemblies to be created and whether they would simply be beefed up metropolitan councils.
It's easy to scoff at such indecision and forget our own past constitutional swithering – but the sheer size of "Northern England" is part of its problem. The region straddles three Euro constituencies: the North East, North West and Yorkshire and Humber. With a combined population of around 14.5 million it has more inhabitants than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined – but it's still just a region whereas Scotland is a nation. That difference is not just a technical nicety – Scotland's time as an independent country forged distinctive languages, institutions and conventions all of which survived the Treaty of Union. As a result, there are Scottish ways of doing things understood across the constitutional divide, which have produced a welter of habits, comedy, literature, song, poetry, cartoons and visual art to express and reinforce Scottish identity.
The political importance of this rich, confident, cultural foundation is only apparent when you visit a region without almost any of it.
But lack of nationhood need not stop northern campaigners. Some of the 16 powerful Lander (regional governments in Germany) recreated after the Second World War were not previously nation states and Canada and Australia developed federal systems with state, territorial and provincial boundaries decided just as much on the grounds of good governance as historic nationhood.
So is powerful English regional self-government what George Osborne has in mind? Almost certainly not.
Worried about the Ukip threat and unfavourable comparisons with Scotland, the Chancellor moved to nip any momentum for devolution in the bud.
Devo Manc – as the £1 billion offer to ten Greater Manchester councils has been called – looks good on paper. Nick Pearce of the left leaning IPPR says it's a "major new front" in the English devolution debate. But the decision to accept control over health and social care, transport, housing, further education, business and skills was taken by council leaders behind closed doors, the deal is "subject to spending review" and all areas are earmarked for massive cuts.
It also hinged upon the acceptance of an elected mayor, even though Mancunians rejected the idea along with eight other English cities in 2015 and of course it is highly selective, leaving other Northern conurbations, small towns and rural areas out in the cold.
According to the Manchester Evening News: "The Chancellor should not be allowed to force a system on the area that it hasn't voted for." Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Campaigners have started a petition for a Devo Manc referendum. If that's ignored, the sense of grievance will only increase.
Meanwhile further east, Yorkshire First candidates got a measly 1 per cent in the general election, but almost 30 per cent in local elections and the group now has three councillors. It's a start but what next?
The greatest difficulty is that the existence of local campaigns is currently obscuring the need for regional devolution.
The passionate but frustrated voices raised during Saturday's meeting only served to emphasise the importance of national identity and territorial cohesion in the push for more powers in Scotland. How far would home-rule have got, if the Scottish Party and National Party of Scotland had not buried their differences in 1934 to form one party? And how far would the SNP have got if a party backing national self-determination had been forced to compete with stronger local/regional movements like Aberdeenshire First or Lothians Together in decades past? Indeed, how far will the north of England get without a party like the SNP which has always been ready to tackle Westminster parties not appease them?
Of course it could be argued Scotland's powerful position within the union was largely achieved by Labour campaigners who committed the party to support the Scottish Constitutional Convention (SCC) process in the 1980s and campaign for its outcome. After an equivocal position on the 1979 referendum, Scottish Labour were clear advocates of devolution by the time Tony Blair won in 1997. And even though the SCC was hardly representative or a mass movement by modern terms, its existence did allow the old building blocks of civic society with form, structure, membership, media clout and above all some cash to command the attention of Scotland's media and political leaders.
So could the same happen in the north of England? Some activists at the NCC meeting were aghast that Labour council leaders couldn't see the parallels with Scotland. The feeling – admittedly voiced only by some activists – is that they have rolled over to a second-rate offer from Tories while the Scots have obtained more by standing up to them. But then, Scots voted out every Conservative MP in 1997, while Tories won a quarter of seats in the North of England on 7 May.
Indeed there was no support at the meeting for describing the Northern Citizens Convention as a Campaign for Northern Government.
So the northern heather is not alight, but something is definitely crackling.
Billboards which portrayed Alex Salmond pickpocketing English people were a decidedly southern phenomenon – so too rattled swing voters deserting Labour.
The former First Minister's enthusiastic reception during a Liverpool edition of Question Time last year was not a one-off. Nor was #takeuswithyouScotland, the Twitter hashtag, which calls for the North of England to secede from the UK and join Scotland along a line drawn from the Dee to the mouth of the Humber. That idea may have begun as a bit of joke, but 45,000 people have used it – some during this weekend's massive anti-austerity demonstrations. In short, dissatisfaction with the constitutional status quo in the North of England is no flash in the pan.
George Osborne is right about one thing: the north of England is a powerhouse. When will its inhabitants awaken to that fact?

Canon 50D focus issue
I have a Canon 50D which I got last summer and a Canon18x200mm zoom lens. I have been having an issue with the auto focus on this camera. When pressing the shutter button half way the camera shows me it is focusing based on the red led lights in the view screen, so I am assuming it is focusing on the area shown by the red light. However I am finding that many of my photos are way out of focus. This reached a new high/low at Christmas. I took over 125 photos and only 12 were in focus! I have to wonder if there is an issue with my camera or lens. Has anyone else had similar focus issues?

The fact that some were in focus is a good sign. It may be an issue of front-focus/back-focus. Take a look at this Focus Test Chart.
Also, do you have some of them posted online somewhere, so we can see the full size originals?

i shoot the 50d as well. and yes it is focusing on the areas marked by the red squares. and no, i have had zero problems with my 50d focusing, in fact, quite the opposite.
as tcav mentioned. it is possible that your lens is front or back focusing. it is also possible that it is user error. we would need some full size images with exif data intact to help narrow down the problem.

Focus Issue
"For even more precise autofocusing, the Canon EOS 50D allows AF Microadjustment as we first saw in the 1D III. This is an excellent feature that lets you perfectly focus-calibrate either the camera individually or your lenses individually to the camera. If a camera or lens is significantly miscalibrated, it should be sent to Canon for adjustment, but for the rest, I suggest running the lenses through an easy focus calibration procedure."
This might help...Read your manual for the instructions on how to do this....

I saw this image floating around Facebook last November. A friend of mine was using it as his growth inspiration. More and more people let their face be as God intended them to be each year…full of bearded goodness. It seems like facial hair experimentation seems to be driven by trend, so we thought it would be important to show you some of the more reasonable reasons (yeah we just did that) to grow your own scarf.
A recent Study published in a scientific journal showed that beards block 90 to 95 percent of UV rays.
Beards reduce your risk for skin cancer (at least for areas covered by hair).
Beards slow the aging of your skin (your wife should be thanking you for growing a beard).
Your beard also acts as a natural filter for pollen, dust and other contaminants that may bum you out.
A beard will protect you against the wind and can retain important moisture.
Check out a full article on it here.
If you need help growing your beard you can find support at beards.org or you can just let your face alone. It knows how to handle the situation without you.
Don't forget to join the bearded fun in the fly fishing community by participating in Loon Outdoors Novembeard competition.
Print this out and show it to your wife if she complains. Oh and don't worry, beards provide slap padding.
Get Growing.

A MAN who left a painting outside a church before stabbing the door with a chisel was tagged yesterday.
Michael Raymond Ellis must also stay indoors overnight plus pay £70 compensation to police.
Yesterday, Flintshire Magistrates' Court at Mold heard the 43-year-old was suffering from psychiatric problems.
Ellis of Birch Court, Connah's Quay told police he left the painting at St Mark's Church at Connah's Quay for the Archbishop.
Then he told officers Jim Morrison, the now-dead singer with The Doors group, was "a cool dude."
Ellis admitted damaging the church, a charge of being drunk and disorderly on a separate occasion, and causing criminal damage by daubing dirt in a police cell.
He was placed on a four month curfew which means that he will be electronically tagged so he remains indoors between 7pm and 7am.
Chris Moss, prosecuting, said police received a call a man was behaving strangely outside the church.
Police found the painting plus a chisel stuck chest high in the wooden church door.
Ellis was arrested at The Central Hotel in Shotton, charged with damage and bailed.
But then, while on bail, police were called to his home and he was found in a drunken state outside.
Phillip Marshall-Thomas, defending, said Ellis' behaviour was bizarre but it was down to his considerable mental health issues which had troubled him for years. He was now more stable.

JOTD - Tomato Vegetable1:32:00 PM
This exact amount yeilded about 16 oz of juice...which was really two servings...so BONUS! When "juicing" greens, I've found that it's easier to ball them up into a tight wad (technical term here...don't judge)...and wedge it between two harder slices of something. In this case, I wedged it between two pieces of sweet potato. It seems to have worked well. For this amount of spinach, I got about 1 tsp of juice. Maybe a little more. Not even sure if I get the healthy benefits from that - but it does turn the juice a nice color of brownish green - which grosses out my kids, so, there's that.
Tomato Vegetable
1 Large Beefsteak Tomato
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 small red bell pepper
3 mint leaves
1/2 large sweet potato
2 med. stalks celery
Again, I do not peel, slice, or remove the seeds from any of these vegetables. I'm far too efficient (read lazy) for that. My juicer has the capacity to do so - one of it's biggest selling points. :) I use a Breville Juice Fountain Multi-speed 900 W juicer, and I do love it so! If you'd like one for your very own, you can check them out here on Amazon.

If there is one word I hate more than any foul words an Oxford dictionary cannot describe, it would be the word: wait. It may seem like a plain and simple word, "I'll be waiting for you." or "Wait for me!" We all use that in our daily lives, using that word to try and keep up with others; using the word so we won't get left behind.
Wait is a strong word. Waiting is a deep word. It's funny how words like this seem so harmless but causes so aches and never ending tears. How many of you actually like it when someone says, "Yes, I know. Please wait." Of course for the first 2 minutes, you'll be alright, confident that whoever or whatever will turn up soon. After that, there comes your doubt, anxiety and confusion. How many you like it when you say, "I am waiting." You're waiting and waiting and waiting.....and waiting. When is it going to end?
There has been countless times that I am put in these situations but the waiting that I hate most is the 'silence waiting'. Nobody is telling me to wait, nor am I telling them to wait. But both sides or at least me, know that I am waiting. As I wait, a hole is dug deeper inside of me. It's not painful. It's not. It's just getting empty.
And what do I do in between waiting? Pray that it comes quick? Hope that the outcome would be as what I planned it would be? But what happens when I'm waiting and there's actually nothing to wait for anymore? Would I know? How would I know?
The thing about waiting is that it is never ending. It can go on for 5 minutes, 2 years, 10 years, 30 years and even, 'I don't know when it will end' time. As the waiting process goes on, we somehow lose track of time. We forget that time exist because we are so caught up in hoping to get what we have dream for so long. Some may say "Why wait? Take action. Do it." Easy to say, hard to do. There are just something that is not 1+1=2 but rather 0+2=2. Get it? Yes. Life is complicated like that. There is so many ways to get the number '2', just as there is so many possibilities of obstacles facing ahead of us.
What is really sad about waiting is that you'll never get healed because it is not scars that is formed but rather, a hole. A big, deep hole that is never filled. Scars could healed, slowly in time. But hole? Hole can't healed. It can't be filled in time. It just does not work that way. Most of the time, we forget that we're waiting. But when we're finally in our room, when the sound of our heartbeat is the only thing we could hear, that's when we realized over and over again, that we never stopped waiting.
Though I guess soon, we have to come in aware that not all things are worth waiting. Yes, it may be what we always wanted, what we always dreamed of. But if it's not meant to be, it is not. In life we have choices but destiny exists too. There is already a small plan for all of us. That is why Mr. and Mrs. Right came about, agree? We can wait that long because we believe that one day, we'll stop waiting and that is true. The only question is when we stop waiting, will it be a smile on our faces or will be tears and trying hard not to look back?
Pretty amazing how a common and inattentive word can bring so much meaning, stories out of it, no? But you know what's more amazing? The fact that I know what I'm talking about and I'm still waiting.

Ecological change in fragile floodplain wetland ecosystems, natural vs human influence: the Macquarie Marshes of eastern Australia
Publication Details
Yu, L., Garcia, A., Chivas, A. R., Tibby, J., Kobayashi, , T. & Haynes, D. (2015). Ecological change in fragile floodplain wetland ecosystems, natural vs human influence: the Macquarie Marshes of eastern Australia. Aquatic Botany, 120 (Part A), 39-50.
Arid and semi-arid floodplain wetlands play important ecological roles and are among the most vulnerable ecosystems worldwide. However, studies of environmental change from such systems are rare. Sediment cores from the northern Macquarie Marshes, Murray-Darling Basin, provide a high-resolution (decadal-centennial scale) multi-proxy record of the past diversity and ecological successions of a wetland system from semi-arid inland Australia. In Loudens Lagoon on the eastern Marshes, a hiatus separates the Late Pleistocene-age sediments (50-27 ka BP) from late Holocene sediments (c. 2.3 ka BP) which are barren of microfossils until the 13th century AD. Charophytes and emergent vegetation are recorded from c. 1200 AD and become richer in recent times, with a concomitant increase of dry-tolerant Chenopodiaceae, indicating variable water cover at the site. The approximately 500-year old record from adjacent 'Bora Lagoon' indicates that, by comparison, this site was more frequently inundated. The charophytes Sphaerochara (=Tolypella sect. Rothia) and Chara australis are only present between the 16th and 17th centuries, suggesting a relatively deep wetland which became shallower by the 1940s. Between the 1940s and 1960s, charophytes indicating shallow water are diverse and abundant, with diatoms appearing c. 1955 AD. The reduction in charophytes and change in the diatom assemblages indicates increasing turbidity and pH after 1965 AD. The increased sedimentation rate and turbidity between the 1940s and 1970s are related to land use change. Our results suggest that livestock grazing, the building of levees/channels in the Marshes, and river regulation (Burrendong Dam) have contributed to the deterioration of the Marshes.

Merck earnings beat estimates, raises full year guidance
Merck posted better than expected sales and profit. The company getting a boost from its diabetes drug Januvia, but strong dollar concerns linger. Shartia Brantley reports.
Blame it on the strong dollar. Dow components Merck and Pfizer say their sales are hurting due to currency issues. Merck also blamed increased competition for its 8-percent drop in revenue in the first quarter. However it posted profit that easily beat forecasts. The drop in pharmaceutical sales for its Hepatitis C products were offset by increased demand for its diabetes drug, Januvia, as well as its vaccines and animal health products. The hospital acute care unit posted gains driven by Merck's acquisition of Cubist Pharmaceuticals in late January. Merck Chairman & CEO Kenneth Frazier said: "Our strong performance this quarter demonstrates that our scientific and business strategies, together with our focused investments, are paying off." Merck raised its revenue guidance for 2015 to $39.8 billion. Shares are up 4 percent in the early trading. Pfizer also posted better than expected profit. Aided by demand for its vaccines and cancer drugs. But, it lowered its revenue forecast for 2015 citing continued adverse impact from a strong U.S. dollar. Pfizer shares are up slighly in premarket trading
