Moreton Bay United Women celebrated their first victory of the season by sweeping aside Souths United Women 3-0 at Wolter Park on Sunday.
Pamela Kennard's brace bookended a result which breaks Jets' duck in clean sheets, points and wins for 2015.
Souths, now separated by three points at the bottom of the ladder, will chase those milestones when the two teams meet again on Thursday night.
After a first 15 minutes without major incident, Kennard sparked the match into life by controlling well and netting the opener from Rylee Lemke's pass inside.
Jets goalkeeper Renee Rudder made a fine back-pedalling save towards the end of the half which proved even more important when 16-year-old Lemke crossed for Rose Nisbet to volley home the hosts' second.
Souths substitute Ruby Hooper came close to levelling matters in the 78th minute while Kennard also shot wide from inside the area.
However, the Jets forward made amends with around five minutes remaining by firing home her second and her team's third to seal all three points.
Speaking after the match, Jets coach Gary Ward said he was pleased for the players to finally be rewarded.
"It was always going to be the game we could target to win some points and they went out there today and did their job," Ward said.
Souths technical director Paul Lonton said the performance disappointed more than the result.
"Credit to the girls, they still keep turning up, but just sometimes technique and execution isn't really what it should be," Lonton said.

text: President Bush's FY 2007 proposed budget requests a record level of new federal funding for 11 Inland Waterways Trust Fund (IWTF)-financed projects. The budget request proposes FY '07 spending of $394 million for Inland Waterways Trust Fund financed projects, of which $197 million will come from the dedicated Inland Waterways Trust Fund. The remainder would come from general treasury funds, as required under current law. The President's FY '07 budget request is the highest funding recommendation for IWTF funded projects since cost-sharing legislation was enacted into law in 1986. The proposed FY 2007 budget also requests record level federal funding for the entire U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works program of $4.733 billion. Last year's (FY '06) budget request was $4.513 billion, then a record. "This FY 2007 budget demonstrates the Administration's continued, solid understanding of the many benefits of our Nation's critically important inland waterways system," said R. Barry Palmer, President and CEO of Waterways Council, Inc. "It also exemplifies the goal of keeping the United States economically competitive." The Administration's support for Waterways Council, Inc.'s priority projects include funding for Olmsted Locks and Dam (Ohio River, IL/KY), $110 million; McAlpine Lock (Ohio River, IN/KY), $70 million; Marmet (Kanawha River, West Virginia), $50.8 million; Lower Monongahela River 2, 3 and 4 (PA), $62.8 million; Chickamauga Lock (Tennessee River, TN), $27 million, and Emsworth Dam (Ohio River), $17 million. Also approximately $50 million was allocated for five additional major rehabilitation projects on the system, Locks and Dams 11, 19, 24, and 27 (Upper Mississippi River), and Markland (Ohio River). Palmer expressed Waterways Council's unhappiness for the proposed suspension of funding for projects not as far along in their construction cycle, such as the Inner Harbor Navigation Lock Replacement (LA) and Kentucky Lock Addition (Tennessee River, KY). "We are also disappointed that there was no request for additional funding of preconstruction engineering and design (PED) to continue Upper Mississippi River/Illinois Waterway lock and dam modernization projects. The Nation needs to move more quickly to construct these navigation improvements, as well as PED projects that, if given a fighting chance, could produce high-yield returns," Palmer said. A critical economic generator, the Nation's waterways transport key building-block commodities such as coal, grain, petroleum, chemicals, and aggregates that fuel the Nation's industrial and agricultural activity. The U.S. barge and towing industry saves shippers and consumers more than $7 billion annually compared to alternate transportation modes. Also more environmentally sound, waterways transport handles cargo equal to 40 million trucks or 10 million rail cars each year.

About two weeks ago I traveled up to two of my best friends to attend their wedding, soon after that we traveled about a hour away to a resort for their honeymoon. After a few days of relaxing we settled down to play a game of Pathfinder set in the world of Greyhawk though with changes to the setting. The campaign began near the edge of the Heartlands near a area known as the Wildwoods a massive forest that stretches far south to the elven nation of Celene.
Unlike almost every other game I have run almost every aspect (save for running the Moathouse from Temple of Elemental Evil) has been randomly generated or made up on the fly. Further using the Ultimate Campaign each player had a random generation for their backgrounds. Thus many threads and hooks are ignored or forgotten. This first entry is mostly a overview rather than a detailed account. Further sessions will be much more detailed. Worse sometimes things are quite random or disconnected, but for better or worse we begin:
Dramatis Personae
Pressi Longmire : Born not in the Heartlands or it's nearby environs, she lived her early years in a terrible keep known as Castle Dreadhollow. Worse still was the location of Dreadhollow,Acheron one of the outer planes on the Great Wheel. She was tormented by the fact that her mother had been once the leader of The Moot what one might call the capital of the halflings.
There she pretended to be a priest of Yondalla (the leader of the halfling pantheon) though in truth she was dedicated to the terrible hero-deity Thamir. Thamir, once the husband to Yondalla was turned to darkness by a nameless demon. She was discovered and was forced to flee with her cultists to Thamir's home in Acheron
Shaemis: Born in the nearby cursed land known only as the Pomarj to a dire ritual, Shaemis was born of a terrible crime against a poor innocent woman that she never knew. A half-orc that was destined to become the leader of not only the Blacktalon Tribe, but of all of the Pomarj. Instead Shaemis which is a human name he gained later fled with his sister Galsha to the north traveling through the hostile lands claimed by Celene before eventually meeting the party. Meanwhile his brother Turrosh Mak unified the Pomarj under his own rule.
Half-Orc Magus
Galsha: The silent twin sister of Shaemis, born without a voice she was left to die. She survived this however and follows Shaemis around everywhere using her inborn talents to heal those around her. Powers she was given by a strange and shadowy figure.
Half-Orc Life Witch
Myst: Born in the Wild Cost in the city of Freeport Myst lived a charmed life for many years. A elf for one parent and a human for another she was a child of two worlds that sought out adventure. A diplomat first beyond a 'warrior' she strives to protect her friends and to bolster them from harm as much as she can.
Half-Elf Bard
Cannibals, Velvet, and the Moathouse
After rolling random reasons why the members of the party knew each other. The first adventures take them from the Wildwoods a great forest south east of the town of Hommlet and back again. They take Myst who was almost eaten by their fellow caravan guards who suddenly became cannibalistic. Shaemis carried Myst out of the forest to be healed by a young priestess in the town. There Shaemis met up with Pressi a old companion years back, they had all met in the Wild Coast and had been working odd jobs.
Now they wanted something more grand. Thus while Myst was healing Pressi, Galsha, and Shaemis went out to the Wildwoods to where the caravan had been. Along the way they discover the old Moathouse but decide to travel to the caravan because it had been moving cloth north to Verbobonc. They had remembered a large chest that was locked in the caravan. Sure enough they found it as rain began to fall.
They also found a man wearing a robe made out of human skin stacking bones. Shaemis after scaring the poor bugger let him go rather than face him in battle something that Pressi never let Shaemis forget. They found Velvet and Azure Silk (silk made from worms that live on small islands in the Azure Sea) and travel back to Hommlet to check of Myst. Finding her in good health they decide to wait to sell the cloth in Verbobonc and instead travel to the Moathouse.
They faced the terrible blue dragon that 'haunted' the keep, set fire to a tower that had a lonely Ettercap inside, and managed to convince the gnolls that were working for some cult dedicated to the Elemental Eye to work for them instead. Thus they defeated the cultists there though after many trials and tribulations including Pressi almost dying after messing with a purple altar in some caves the ghouls had dug up.
They found a shaft leading down to a strange object known as the Dark Obelisk in journals they found but after Pressi was grabbed by tentacles they decided to leave it alone and used a Stoneshape scroll to reseal the chamber. From there they traveled north with cockatrice eggs and a very injured blue dragon (they kept it alive rather than killed it.) Which they sold to a suspicious noble lord Count Gilbert one of the two lords on the Council of Coin that controls the main markets in Verbobonc. Further Gilbert owned a massive zoo that he let people enter into for a small price.
Oh and they manage to sell the Velvet as well, though in truth the dragon sold for much more.
Crowns, Gnomes, and Kobolds
Rather than pay coin to Myst Gilbert gave a crown known as the Krono Di Regxo which was in fact the crown of the gnome 'King' of the Kron Hills. The gnomes were in a state of rebellion from Verbobonc since the current Counts are unable to pay for a mercenary army to retake the lands lost. Thus the party travels to the fabled city of Jadarune the de facto capital of the Kron Hills after the collapse of Kron the old capital during the Kobold Wars.
A city made of crystal with a heraldic symbol of a Prism the party found a new ally with the King of Kron. In truth the King has no power, and he could offer only one thing to the party for the return of the crown. That was the deed to a old diamond mine that had been overrun by Kobolds. While Ol' Draco (the Kobold that united the tribes that fought in the Kobold Wars) was dead his legacy was still alive.
The Deliberative now had power in the Kron Hills, and ruled while the king was left as a ornamental position. With the deed in hand the party traveled there and faced terrible traps, and eventually defeated the kobold threat in the mine. They also discovered a terrible truth, one of the sons of Ol' Draco was still alive. Calling himself Draco Half-God he is once again uniting the Kobold Tribes together.
However before the party can deal with that threat they have to fight off a red dragon that lives in the lava pools under their new diamond mine…
Rather short overview of the week or so we spent playing D&D. As I said before these will be far more detailed and likely have maps to help detail the events of the game. Hope you enjoyed it!

Another week in Instagram photos! And this time I am actually posting on Friday! As I mentioned last week, we we took a little trip this past weekend to Virginia. We spent Saturday in Colonial Williamsburg. We all loved it, but you really need more than one day to experience it, so we hope to go back very soon.
{Who knew the kids would love the hoop and stick game so much?}
{This was our audio enjoyment for the ride home. Fitting since we were in Virginia.}
{The ride home was quite rainy.}
{My girl's drawings of our family and my boy's first diagrams!}
{He loves reading and listening to audio books.}
{She wore this vest everyday this week except for when she wanted to dress like her owl.}
{Roasted sweet potatoes are nothing new, but these were particularly delicious.}
{Possibly the strangest thing I have every seen at the thrift store, and I've seen a lot.}
I hope you all had a great week!

The purpose of the Bridging the Gap (BTG) program is to provide a hand, reached out in the spirit of our Twelve Steps of Recovery, to assist the newcomer to find the same help in staying sober that we ourselves found.
The BTG program is designed to assist newcomers making the transition from treatment to the AA Program. Those of us that were previously in treatment have found that probably the "wettest" and most "slippery" place in the journey to lifelong sobriety is the distance between the door of the treatment facility and the nearest AA group or meeting.
For more information on the BTG program check out the section below which includes contact information as well as links to view forms and pamphlets. To read more about GSO's description of this program click here: Temporary Contact Program.
For More Information
Send an email to the Chair of our Area Treatment Committee. He or she can help you get started-and might even be able to introduce you to people, BTG Coordinator, in your district already doing this work.

NORTH CANTON During the summer months, vehicles can get extremely hot when sitting outside in the sun. Pets and even children can sometimes get left inside a hot car, which can reach temperatures well over 100 degrees in a matter of a few minutes.
Students at St. Paul's School in North Canton are hoping to help keep cars cooler with the invention of the TT-Temp, a device created by six middle school students in the First Lego League, that detects if something living was left in a car and, if it gets too hot, the vehicle starts and the air conditioning turns on. Sam Fonner, Emma Curd, Will Bopp, Xavier Hinton, Parker White and Seth Snyder are members of the team that designed the device.
This year's theme was Animal Allies where the students had to solve a problem where animals and humans interact. Work on the TT-Temp began in late August as students spent countless hours researching the problem and trying to come up with a solution. The group of students said finding a solution wasn't easy and took time.
Plans were drawn up and the group created two models: One for remote-start vehicles and one for vehicles that don't have that feature.
The model was taken to several pet clinics and the team was required to present its project to a professional organization. The team chose the Jackson Fire Department, which gave the invention its stamp of approval. Throughout their presentation, the students said they were asked a lot of questions about the device that they had never thought of.
Some of the challenges students were posed with is what happens if the vehicle runs out of gas or if the battery goes dead.
St. Paul's Principal Amie Hale said she is proud of the hard work and research that went into the invention.
"This is a big accomplishment," Hale said.
Hale said the students spent a lot of weekends working on the invention.
"We are only going to see more and more great things from this group in the future," Hale said.
The group has applied for a patent and hopes to test the device in vehicles this summer when it gets warmer.

Discussion about Code Builder Builder and Winlog language support.
4 posts • Page 1 of 1
Re: Arrays
At the time in Winlog you can not create arrays. However, it is possible replace them is creating a series of gates and increasing the scroll NID.
CodeBuilder questions
Is there a way to include other files with directives such as #include (C) or require (perl) It would be nice to create code libraries and definitions that could be used in all my projects. There doesn't seem to be any compiled executable; is this strictly an interpreted scripting language. What is the cost of winlog pro in US $
Re: Arrays
Hi, in Winlog is not necessary the "# include" function because without any additional istruction you can call a function contained in another code file of the same project. It can download from here an example: http://www.winlog.it/forum/example/Call_Function_Demo.zip

There was a lot of talk about the numbers of women who voted for President Obama. A closer look reveals marriage women voted for Governor Romney in similar numbers. In other words, being married or single played role in how people voted.Marriage is more significant than gender in voting patterns.
You don't hear nearly as much about the rise of single voters, despite the fact that they represent a much more significant trend. Only a few analysts, such as Ruy Teixera, James Carville, and Stanley Greenberg, have emphasized how important singletons were to President Obama's reelection. Properly understood, there is far less of a "gender" gap in American politics than people think. Yes, President Obama won "women" by 11 points (55 percent to 44 percent). But Mitt Romney won married women by the exact same margin. To get a sense of how powerful the marriage effect is, not just for women but for men, too, look at the exit polls by marital status. Among nonmarried voters—people who are single and have never married, are living with a partner, or are divorced—Obama beat Romney 62-35. Among married voters Romney won the vote handily, 56-42.
Far more significant than the gender gap is the marriage gap. And what was made clear in the 2012 election was that the cohorts of unmarried women and men are now at historic highs—and are still increasing. This marriage gap—and its implications for our political, economic, and cultural future—is only dimly understood.While one can look at marriage from a political perspective, it's certainly much more than this.
As Robert George put it after the election, limited government "cannot be maintained where the marriage culture collapses and families fail to form or easily dissolve. Where these things happen, the health, education, and welfare functions of the family will have to be undertaken by someone, or some institution, and that will sooner or later be the government." Marriage is what makes the entire Western project—liberalism, the dignity of the human person, the free market, and the limited, democratic state—possible. George continues, "The two greatest institutions ever devised for lifting people out of poverty and enabling them to live in dignity are the market economy and the institution of marriage. These institutions will, in the end, stand or fall together."The well-being of society is dependent on Americans' beliefs and practices regarding marriage.
Instead of trying to bribe single America into voting Republican, Republicans might do better by making the argument—to all Americans—that marriage is a pillar of both freedom and liberalism. That it is an arrangement which ought to be celebrated, nurtured, and defended because its health is integral to the success of our grand national experiment. And that Julia and her boyfriend ought to go ahead and tie the knot.

This is going to be a long post, comprising most of the last week. It has a lot of pics, and I can't get the text to match up with the pics :-( And the web page is all in Dutch, so I'm a bit limited on using the web tools. We cashed in all my American frequent flyer miles and are down in Curacao. We planned a whole week of a whole lotta nuthin'. Brought guitar, crocheting, snorkel gear and a couple of trashy novels. We're staying at one of those "all inclusive" places, so you can just stumble downstairs anytime and there will be some sort of food available. Maybe not what's top on the list of cravings, but considering my aversion to cooking, I'm happy with whatever I find....AND, they clean up after us, too. What a bonus! Not many Americans down here. Mostly South Americans and Hollanders. Duh! We're 35 miles off the coast of Venezuela, and Curacao IS part of the Netherlands Antilles. Of course, everyone speaks Dutch, Spanish, the local dialect and English, leaving us, per usual, as the Anglophiles with only one language.
OK, it's a couple of parrots. Can't add much to that.
The town looks a lot like Amsterdam with humidity.
All the buildings are old stucco colonial construction that has been maintained/restored. The historical story is that a governor said the color white hurt his eyes, so all the buildings are brilliant colors of the rainbow. No mamby-pamby pastels for these folks.
Here's a shot of an alley with a way kewl 3-D relief. I guess it's cement. It doesn't appear to be molded, and I don't know how they shaped everything in situ, but it sure is pretty.
There's a water channel to the harbor that divides the town in half. They built a 600' pontoon bridge that spans the channel, and it swings open when ships pass through. It's about half way open here.
So each time a ship shows up, a long whistle blows to let everyone know that the bridge is going to open -- because they'll be stranded on one side or the other. But it's really a signal for the crowd to run like hell and either get on the bridge, or off it, before the gap gets too wide. One guy just came barreling along behind his family, pushing a baby stroller. As he got to the gap, he grabbed up the stroller and leapt to the other side. What a HOOT! This should be an Olympic event.
The hotel is right on the beach. Here's a view from our balcony.
We haven't told them yet that we have NO intention of leaving. Curacao is a mighty fine place, and I'm sure I could get used to living like this LOL
The hotel is right smack-dab in the middle of of a marine reserve, so we just wander outside and fall in the water to snorkel. Creighton has an Olympus waterproof digital camera, so we're having oodles of fun documenting the fish. Look out Jacque Cousteau. We just fill up the memory, run inside to download, and head out again (It would be nice to store to a memory card, but the bastards at Olympus designed the camera to use an expensive proprietary memory stick instead of a standard SD card). Paula and Teresa, I had to take the bracelets off. There are a BAZILLION little barracuda here that seem to find the bright and shinies facinating. They're probably harmless, but they really freak me out....and I've seen a few of their bigger relatives hanging around, so the jewelry had to go. Here are some pics of the less intemidating fish
...and one purple squid.
And just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.....
It's Karoke night, so we're holded up in the room. We gave it a try, but it was too painful, in any language. Sour notes still leak into the room, so I have the telly tuned to a Spanish weather channel while I write to you, dear readers. There are warnings for tropical storm Felix passing near here sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. The weather station shows video from Aruba, but since I don't know if Aruba is just over the horizon, or up in the northern Carribean, it doesn't do us much good. From the video, it looks like it just got very wet there. C and I are quite excited, as this will be our first tropical storm.
I'm hoping to find an Internet location tomorrow so I can upload this....so it won't be like the postcards that arrive a week after we return home.
...later in the night....Karoke is still going strong, and they're coming around to tape "X's" on our sliding glass door. Storm is due to hit here at 5am. This is SO exciting :-)) ...
Later still. The Karoke has degraded to a group participation discord, and the bar is about shut down. The employees are busy bees gathering up all chairs, tables, beach loungers, etc, and everything else that isn't tied down, and hauling all into the bowels of the hotel. Guitar is back in its case, and stashed in the closet. The laptops and everything electronic are in a dresser drawer, so I guess we're as ready as we're going to be. I wanted to set the alarm for 4am so we'd get up for the beginning, but C says we'll probably hear it coming!!

Here we are in the midst of yet another holiday season. Don't they come and go quickly?
It's always such a crazy, frenzied, stressful time of year for me, and I start wondering what it's really all about.
We don't do the big commercial Christmas type thing in my house, we prefer to keep things small and meaningful.
We don't encourage the "Santa" myth with our kids, they know that gifts come from people and not a cartoon character.
We don't even embrace the "...time for giving..." philosophy, we prefer to focus on "...a time for sharing...".
That doesn't mean we don't buy our kids a gift at Christmas, we do, but it's usually small and meaningful.
Their expectations have been managed a long time ago as we have tried to ground them in truth rather than commercialism.
Anyway, with so many cultures observing so many different holidays at this time of year, I'd like you to know that I think your celebration is the right one.
Your choice of observation, prayer, ritual, and belief is sacred to you, and respected by me.
So, today I'm sending my heart and strength to the people of Sydney and all of my homeland, Australia.
And I'm also sending my heart to all the people around the world adversely affected by religious fundamentalism and terrorism. It's nothing more than desperate insanity.
My wish this season is for the world to be calm, and embrace peace and tolerance!

In pictures: Georgia's forgotten people
Twenty-five years after the fall of the USSR, many people struggling to find a home and a job in the former Soviet republic of Georgia have made their home in abandoned buildings.
Some are refugees from Abkhazia, a Georgian region which fought a war of secession in 1992-93. A quarter of a million people were internally displaced in the conflict. Others became homeless after simply falling on hard times.
Approximately 400 are living in harsh conditions in an abandoned Soviet-era military hospital in the capital, Tbilisi. Photographer Jacob Borden captured what life is like for these people living on the margins of society.
Maia Daiauri, aged 45, works to turn one of the rooms in the former hospital into a liveable space. All of the occupied rooms have windows, and almost all of the residents have a small gas canister and burner to cook on. Most rooms have small wood-burning stoves, used as heaters in the winter. Those who do not have access to heating or plumbing share with their neighbours. There is a strong sense of community. As one resident says: "We don't have much, all we have is each other."
The derelict hospital is unsafe, and utilities such as electricity are diverted through a patchwork of wires and pipes, while raw sewage often trickles down walls because of broken plumbing. In 2015, a young boy died in a fire caused by faulty wiring.
About 80 children live in the building and the majority are under six years old, like Nikoloz Beriashuili, aged two, who sleeps in the same room as his mother, father and sister. Some of the children who live in the building skip school, saying they do not find it useful. Older children who have also dropped out of school often take care of their younger siblings.
Most of the residents rely on state benefits. They prefer to spend the 300 Lari (£97.99) they receive each month on food, rather than use it to rent poor-quality housing, and they avoid taking official jobs for fear of losing this cash lifeline.
A Soviet-era car sits in a parking lot outside the building. Some older residents remember the communist era with nostalgia, as they say they had homes, jobs and stability then. Most are embittered and feel they have been left behind by Georgia's shift to a market economy.
Matiko Pirtskhulava, aged 46, stands in her two-room unit. She lives alone while her two teenage children attend a seminary. In the building there are many women who live by themselves or with children, some have been widowed and subsequently left homeless.
The residents do their best to improve the building and make the rooms they live in comfortable. Wallpaper and flooring scavenged from the neighbourhood are used to transform the concrete rooms into a home. A large conch shell provides shelter for a solitary minnow in the fish tank of one bedroom.
There are approximately 150 families living in the building. Marium Gabisonia, aged seven, shares a room with her sister and plays childhood games like tag in the corridors of the former hospital.
Ia Ochiauri, 42, a mother of two, lives with her husband and his brother, doing odd jobs to get by.
Matiko Pirtskhulava, aged 46, says: "I do not feel like I am a part of [Georgian] society." Many residents feel they have been overlooked by modern society, and watch while the echoes of Georgia's past crumble before their eyes.

Source? Last I heard they're pushing for more Ukrainian language programmes but not discriminating against Russian: Ukrainian language set for media boost in new law - BBC News
A country which steals bits of neighbours lands for its own
We're talking about Europe not Russia
But really we are talking about Ukraine.
Just imagine. If, after Neo-Nazi coup in Brussel, Europeans will not recognise Brexit referendum, and will send armed forces and bandgroups of "volonteers" to force you to be to stay in EU. Will you fight with weapon in your hands for freedom and wealth of England or wait untill Brussels Junta will allow you to make another referendum? Yes, Brussels Junta said that will never allow you to hold this referendum.

'Can you believe it?' asked Roksanda Ilincic who was celebrating her tenth year in business today at a lunch held in Harvey Nichols in her honour.
She was pointing to her first dress – a voluminous black number – that featured in her debut on-schedule show in 2005. Alongside, were nine other dresses, pulled from her archives, reworked in brilliant new colours and fabrics. Ten dresses to celebrate 10 years in business.
And what a business. Since her inaugural show, Ilincic has launched a swimwear collection, a childrenswear range, won countless awards including the Red Carpet gong at the British Fashion Awards and ELLE Style Awards and opened her David Adjaye-designed flagship store on London's Mount Street. Plus who hasn't worn a Roksanda dress? From Kate Middy to Cate Blanchett, the designer is hardly short of celebrity devotees.
'I've been very lucky,' she said, explaining that her business has grown to 47 members of staff and will soon introduce fine jewellery and a bag collection into the mix. She also let slip that the shoes for her spring / summer 2016 collection will be designed by Tabitha Simmons.
We can't wait.
Roksanda's capsule 10 dress collection is available now, exclusively at Harvey Nichols and her own-name store at 9 Mount Street London W1.

Well, I figured out how to make it work, but you guys need to fix it.
I created a separate wagmp_maps_2.js file with a single entry for the _map file it needs:
if(window.wagmp_map_2) wagmp_map_2();
and changed the page to point to this "maps" file.
Now it works.
Every map after the first one, does not load.
After creating the second page with a new map, in the same directory, the google_javascript directory now has the _2 file and the wagmp_maps.js file is changed to:
window.onunload = function() {
if(window.wagmp_map_2) wagmp_map_2();
if(window.wagmp_map_1) wagmp_map_1();
The second page with a map does not load the map.
Go here for the first page that works:
Then the second page, that does not work:

"Back then, we used revolvers," Tangney said. "I was hired with four others, and he took us for the first two or three days and taught us about firearms, the law, safety — it was a crash course."
Tangney described Chalvien as knowledgeable, compassionate and someone who made working tough hours pleasant — a colleague who left a lasting impression among members of the police department.
"He was a gentle, kind and considerate man, and someone you could rely on," he said. "He always came to work happy, always had a smile on his face. We used to change shifts every week. He was a pleasure to see the first shift — it was a nice way to start your day."
Outside of Chalvien's accomplishments with the police department, relatives, including his nephew, Michael Doyle, 29, of Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania, said Chalvien was someone who enjoyed a slew of hobbies, including fishing, hunting and music, and remained incredibly active in life.
"He loved his firearms — shooting was his thing," Michael said. "He had a farm upstate. We'd go hunting for white-tailed deer. He loved duck hunting. He enjoyed fishing, and he played guitar, too."
Josephine added: "He'd go upstate and play at local music conventions and he'd be called the Elvis Presley of Long Beach. He always had a good time."
When he retired, Michael said, he enjoyed visiting his farm and growing oats and buckwheat, and also enjoyed carpentry. What he will miss most about Chalvien, he said, is his intelligence, and the time they shared discussing history and family.
"He was very accurate, very sharp. He had a heck of a memory," Michael said. "I will miss talking to him. You could talk about the old days. The Great Depression, World War II. He'd tell me a lot of old stories about the family. He was a good storyteller."
Josephine echoed those sentiments. "We had a terrific family life," she said. "He had a nice way about him. He'll be missed."

You know there's something about the summer that says – COLOR!
The blacks and the grays in your closet are put away and there is room for the good stuff. I simply adore colorful pieces in my wardrobe, whether it's a bright jacket or a neon wrist watch or a skinny belt that pops, you better believe that a splash of color will pull your look together. Color just rocks!
Professional stylist and frequent guest of The Today Show, Bobbi Thomas encourages you to find your favorite blueberry, raspberry or pink and soon your favorite summer berries will be everywhere: farmers markets, local grocers and of course, in your own kitchen. But you don't have to wait to get your berry fix.
McDonald's is introducing two berry delicious products in May: Blueberry Banana Nut Oatmeal and McCafe Cherry Berry Chiller. And don't forget, there's more than one way to celebrate berry season.
Check out some of my favorite feel-good tips to make berries a part of your home and your look. Sound good? Here goes:
Berry Beauty – Put your berry best face forward with a slick of bright berry colored lipstick or a brush of blue (especially for brown eyes) or purple eye shadow. Just don't go crazy with it. A little goes a long way.
Creatively Chill – Give summer drinks a fun burst of berry. Yum! Pop a berry and water in an ice cube tray and freeze. When it's time to entertain, pop out a berry clever cube to adorn your drink and amaze your friends. Easy to do and it looks so pretty!
Stay Soft – Smooth skin is a must-have summer accessory. Use berries to make your own body scrub. Mix 8 strawberries, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt into a paste, and massage into skin. Not only will your skin feel smooth and refreshed, the paste smells delicious too.
Tempting Tips and Toes – Nails are not the place to play it safe this summer. Celebrity manicurist Lisa Logan recommends making a statement with strawberry pinks, tart cranberry-raspberry reds and bold blueberry blues.Need I say that your tan will look even better with these colors on your tips and toes?
Top O' Morning – Even if you are on-the-go, you can begin your day the berry way with McDonald's new Blueberry Banana Nut Oatmeal. It's made to order with crunchy, permium walnuts, a tasty hint of real banana, two servings of whole grain, and fruit blueberries. It's delicious and healthy too (under 300 calories).
It's a Wrap: Bright berry colors are totally "in" this summer. Vibrant reds, blues, purples all work together so feel free to mix and match and layer it on.
Enjoy and have fun!

The artist is one with a vivid imagination, a complex, yet beautiful and intense mind.
It encourages us artist, to keep on creating and expanding our gift, to the delight of our Audience.
THE FACE; INK ON BOARD PAPER; Miabo Enyadike
An artist can make a living by the side, regardless of brick and mortar or huge financial commitment, just by uploading and clicking.
Whilst waiting for the big break, we all dream about and desire.
BEATRICE;INK ON BOARD PAPER;Miabo Enyadike
The Internet at least is on the side of the artist.
THESE BOOTS ARE MEANT FOR WALKING;Ink on Board paper; Miabo Enyadike
The Internet galleries, if you find a good one with a good track record, are not out to put our works down, or ask us to come back in two years time, when they understand what your art is all about.
Neither do they go comparing us, to other artist or berating our artistic efforts.
The Internet is simple;
THE FAMILY; MIXED MEDIA; Miabo Enyadike
(1). It encourages us to be entrepreneurs of our gift.
(2).Stay true to our creativity, whilst putting our Art out there for us effortlessly.
(3). Introducing us to dealers, patrons, lovers of Art, Art communities with common interest. True and valid critiquing.
(5). Showing us ways, to harness this gift that is given to us in a good way, through collective efforts and encouragement, by our peers in the art world.
(6). Where Artist, all over the world can view each other's work, get inspired and be motivated.
(7). The Artist, does not have to leave their
homes or home country, to exhibit to be known, it is truly amazing and gratifying.
(8). The best part, is the sense of community. Also the knowledge, that you are not alone in this, regardless of what part of the world you are from.
Africa; Ink on paperboard; Miabo Enyadike.
There are several online galleries, that create a platform for the artist.
These online galleries introduce artist, to a broader audience and they are free.
Artist can simply upload their work and sell through these platforms.
All that is needed is for you the artist,to have work that is made by you that's all.
Silhouette of a woman; Ink on paper board; Miabo Enyadike
To access these online galleries is easy.
It's not "rocket science", simply search on the internet for online art galleries
or how to sell your art on the internet.
And the Artist, will get to see a lot of these online art galleries and platforms, to choose from each offering opportunity.
Some for free, they take a commission if the work is sold, others might take a stipend, for you to be a member.
Bottom line, it all boils down to the fact that they exist and are out there to assist the artist.
Then hold my breath, that people receive it in good faith and enjoy this gift called "Creativity".

Canadiana.org partnered with Library and Archives Canada (LAC) a while ago on a project to digitize 40,000 reels of microfilm from LAC. This project, now known as Héritage, already offers free access to some of these digitized reels.
There is more information at Canadiana's Héritage portal. You can browse the already digitized collections (not indexed) and you can check the listing of what's likely coming next. Collections include films of
- Genealogy Records
- Aboriginal Records
- Government Records
- Military & War Records
- Papers of Prominent Canadians
- Miscellaneous – currently including select copies of Ukrainian language newspapers and periodicals.
Canadiana is asking genealogists to choose which collections to prioritize – and is offering this will involve "partially transcribing select collections".

Hi! This is another look from my holidays, which seem like forever ago. The photos are taken with my Iphone 6, so please excuse the quality. Also my hair was in very bad quality, combination of bleach, sun, chlorine and sea water damaged my hair. I actually had to get good few inches cut off as there was no way to save my hair. I am actually glad, as I mentioned before I was kind of over the ombreé look, I wanted to try something new. Anyway the outfit, I bought this dress in the Zara sale in January. I believe it was around £10? Sadly I bought it in a small, and it's a little too big around my waist area. This dress makes you look so much more tanned, I love it! Yes I am much more tanned from the front, then the back. I find it easier, more relaxing to sunbathe on my back and not my front.

It is always my pleasure to bring to you all of the newest and most up to date happenings for our favorite classic MoTown and Doo Wop group.
I'm Jackie and I just want to tell you that while it isn't easy selecting selecting the best pictures, or capturing all of the moments on film, it really is inspiring writing this blog every week. I have the greatest respect and love for each and every member of our family group, STREETCORNER.
Unique, dedicated, talented, and passionate are four of the adjectives I can easily use to describe each personality.
Last Saturday, November 1, STREETCORNER was at Airway Lanes in Waterford.
Can you say..... OH WHAT A NIGHT?
We were....DANCIN IN THE STREET.............well not exactly in the street, but certainly all over the dance floor.
How awesome to have a following of friends that are more than willing to drive long distances just to spend the evening with us.
Here are a few pictures of some of our dear friends that bore the chilly weather, battled the falling leaves and took the leap to come out to see us.
Here we have our very own "The lovely Evelyn" chatting with my sweet and dear friend Jan Pankoff.
Breni Whitehead and Jan are great supporters of STREETCORNER and awesome dance partners for me, Jackie while my Bob Carroll is singing.
We love these ladies. Thanks for spending your evening with us.
Did you know that Bob and I won a "Dance Contest" once? The funny thing is that we didn't even know we had entered it until they announced that Couple #1 was the winner. Wow, that was us.
Well, back to the present.............................
Did I mention that Chuck Runyon AKA a former member of STREETCORNER came out on Saturday to Airway Lanes? Hey, this guy can really sing.
He jumped in to sing "Don't Play it No More" with the group and as Dan would say "Owned It".
Chuck is another talented performer that is not only gifted but a great man as well.
It's a pleasure to know him.
This coming Saturday, Nov. 8, STREETCORNER has the proud honor of being selected to be one of the featured groups for the M. F. E. A. convention. This is the 22nd annual Michigan Festivals and Events Association Convention. The event will be located in Kalamazoo and we will be part of the
Entertainment Showcase. It's an enormous honor to be selected as part of this prestigious two day event. Although it's not open for the public, you can be sure that I will bring you all the skinny on how it went and some photo's ,................if I'm allowed to bring my camera into the Showcase.
Have a wonderful week and I look forward to bringing you the highlights from the Michigan Festivals and Events Association Convention.

SYDNEY (AFP) - It may have looked like a lucky quirk of timing, but the queen's photobombing of a selfie at the Commonwealth Games was not a complete accident, an athlete in the image said on Friday.
The image of a beaming Queen Elizabeth II in the background of Australian hockey players Jayde Taylor and Brooke Peris' selfie has gone viral.
Ahhh The Queen photo-bombed our selfie!!#royalty #sheevensmiled #amazing #Glasgow2014 @Hockeyroos @AusComGames pic.twitter.com/ZMtHYFUqHk
— Jayde Taylor (@_JaydeTaylor) July 24, 2014
Taylor said she and Peris seized the opportunity when, during their warm-down after the Hockeyroos' 4-0 win over Malaysia in Glasgow on Thursday, they saw the monarch at the venue.
"Brooke and I planned it so that when she came out the door she would be behind us," Taylor told Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
"And then she came out and smiled at the camera. We were in the right spot at the right time." Taylor was charmed by the 88-year-old queen who was touring Commonwealth Games venues.
"We were warming down on the second pitch after our game and the Queen came out to meet Donny (team captain Madonna Blyth).
"The security guard led us all round and we got to meet her. She asked us a bit about the pitch, how we were going and told us to enjoy our time here," she said.
"She was lovely. Really, really lovely."
The original tweet, in which the queen appears smiling over Taylor's shoulder, has gone viral, with more than 11,000 retweets by early Friday morning and widespread media coverage.
"Ahhh The Queen photo-bombed our selfie!! #royalty #sheevensmiled #amazing," Taylor wrote as she posted the image on Twitter.
The queen formally opened the Games at a lively Scottish-themed ceremony on Wednesday night.

Darfur damned by western pity (Brendan O'Neill)
"The people of Darfur and Sudan, like the people of Bosnia before them, are likely to pay a heavy price indeed for the patronage of their latte-drinking "friends" in the west."I say, kudos to Brendan for speaking up with such an unfashionable viewpoint. I doubt those who disagree with Brendan's article will understand what he is getting at. Even if they do, whether they realise it or not, they are supporting the insurgents aiming for regime change and, in turn, helping to prolong the conflict.
Well meaning but misinformed people are manipulated by others with self serving agendas. Who would they like to see in place of the current regime? Doubt if they know the answer to that question. Before any of them get mad at Brendan, I'd like them to ask themselves why they (and the people they agree with on Darfur) have not supported the African peacekeepers in Darfur who've been doing a great job under appalling conditions. The insurgents want UN troops fighting onside and have been spinning the media to discredit and denigrate African troops in Darfur.
See Jonathan Steele's article in the Guardian 19 Sep 2006: "Sorry George Clooney, but the last thing Darfur needs is western troops: The rebels, not Khartoum, scuppered this year's peace deal - the solution has to be an expanded African Union force." [via POTP]
