Genealogical Research, that's what we do.
Who are our clients ?
Attorneys , Family Researchers, Heir Researchers, Private Investigators. People looking for birth fathers, birth mothers, brothers, sister', the relatives that went missing, all are family, some you know, some you would like to know.
Then there are those that have been searching for a life time.
My name is Al Phinney and I have been involved with genealogical / adoption research projects for 27 years. Today when you read about the newest hobby of the retirees, family and genealogical research, you may think that this is something only retired people do.
Let me tell you about others that search.
Nan and I met in the Summer of 1994. Then around Christmas time we had a conversation about what kind of research I did.
I explained that I did genealogical research and she asked if I did any adoption stuff. I told her I did and she said, did someone tell you I was adopted, I said no, you asked if I I did adoptions. I asked what she knew and she said not very much. I told her after the Holiday's I'd take a look into her story.
The Story of Ellen A. Flatley – Marian had been searching for over 50 years, trying to locate her grandmother's grave.
That story started in 1907 and her search ended In November 2008 with a call from me. Then there is the rest of the story when we met in February 2010.
Joanne, I met around 1980 by way of her brother in-law.
She had been searching for years when she said to her brother in-law in 1994, that she had just about given up on her search. She had been searching for her birth mother for years and decided that it just could not be done. Although those that tried even had the birth parents names. My friend Stephen said give Al a try, he's persistent.
Maryann, I met in December of 1995.
She had been searching since 1970 for her birth father. I met her husband through work and he suggested that she contact me with her story.
Willard placed an ad in the Boston Globe – Information wanted, Mary Baker Floyd born 1913 in Massachusetts. Please call collect. I did.
Mary Jane, had a friend that had heard of the type of searching that I did and she contacted me about her story.
We did the search and this was my first time to hit a wall. The wall,, I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about.
Mary, I grew up in Marshfield with Mary and along the way Barbara heard the story of my search for my sister and sent Mary to me with her story and off we went.
More stories to follow….

At long last, I can complete the "How I Met Your Mother" joke! But first...
The Mama Pig Update - Mama started stabilizing again last night once I began flushing her. She stopped peeing blood again and is acting like nothing ever happened. I'm gonna keep flushing her for the next few days just to make sure it's all gone.
Now... for the MRI results... drum pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum*
Fanny is pressing on a muscle and my sciatic nerve. That being said, my doctor doesn't think Fanny is a threat to my overall well being and it is completely up to Crippie whether or not I want to remove her. I WANT TO REMOVE HER... she really hurts! Since Fanny is totally NOT CANCEROUS I can wait for a convenient time to remove her. Maybe in the fall... we'll see. As for the pelvic issue, my doctor couldn't find anything in the MRI that would be causing those issues. So, his original guess that my lack of "junk in the trunk" mixed with a lot of sitting has caused my pain is probably the case. The MRI also picked up some other little tidbits and tumors, but nothing of use. So overall Crippie is a relatively healthly 23-year-old with bone condition and a massive tumor on the back of her hip... apart from those things... all is well! Crippie is soooooooooooo pleased with her MRI results, I really couldn't have asked for anything better... so thanks for all the ninja vibes guys... THEY TOTALLY WORKED!
Crippie feels sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo relieved that there is no urgency to get rid of Fanny. I've lived with her pain for years, I can wait for a convenient time. Speaking of which... next step will be telling my boss that I need to take 2.5 weeks off work to have surgery. At least I can wait for a really slow period in the work schedule. Any tippies for telling a boss that you need surgery?
Crippie's Tippie - Look on the bright side... I could be pissed about how I'm gonna need surgery to fix my hip problem, but I'm just happy that my hip problem can be fixed!

text: Figures pertaining to car accidents might surprise some people. There is a few common reasons behind crashes that happen to be readily preventable. The key two are usually distractions and also alcohol. Although people can certainly steer clear of really being the reason behind a collision through disregarding their cell phone when they are on the road and ordering an Uber as opposed to driving a vehicle home after they depart the club, everyone is in danger any time there's people on the streets which continue to text or even drink and drive. A Fort Worth car accident lawyer might be able to support someone afterwards, but it's vital for anyone to apply protective vehicle operation to avoid being an unwilling sufferer. Paying close attention to the highway all the time and following all traffic laws are the best approaches to head off being a fact. No one prefers to depart for their job one day but not make it punctually, or at all, as a consequence of someone else's neglect. Unfortunately, some accidents occur regardless of how safe one is traveling and they also usually come about in close proximity to home the location where the vehicle driver is much more comfortable with their environment. The great thing is, most traffic mishaps are usually minimal plus a car accident lawyer may be able to work out an arrangement swiftly so everyone can get back to their typical lives.

In the Crowd – The Jam 1979 to 1982
In my experience, you're a fan of either The Jam or The Style Council. Paul Weller either did his best work pre- or post-1982. In your opinion. And most people do have an opinion about Weller. About his songs and his performances. He's that strange kind of pop star who shuns the title. And yet he's one of the biggest pop stars the UK has produced.
A new book out on 17 May gives more evidence for stalwart Jam fans of why this was a great era for British pop music. I met with photographer Derek D'Souza just before publication.
"I contributed a few photos to last year's Thick as Thieves and realised that I needed more space to do my photos justice," Derek said.
Thick as Thieves includes my favourite image of The Jam – one of a load taken by Derek in Chiswick Park in August 1981 for the single Absolute Beginners. It shows Paul, Rick and Bruce standing behind a wrought-iron gate. Paul is pulling at the bars as if in jail. A metaphor for how he felt at the time and in the months leading to the band's split? Who knows.
So, Ian Snowball and Stuart Deabill's book was the spur that Derek needed. "In the Crowd was originally laid out in 1984, but it never saw the light of day. It always had the same title, taken from the track on All Mod Cons from 1978. That is what this book is about – being one of the crowd of fans observing their favourite band.
"Some of the photos have been used over the years for other projects around The Jam, but more than 100 of these have never been seen before. It's all about producing my best work – I wanted this book to be a quality piece of work that shows the respect I feel for the band."
In the Crowd shows Derek's view of The Jam between 1979 and 1982. As a fan, most of the shots are looking up at the band on stage, but some are taken backstage and in soundchecks. "I sometimes had the opportunity to speak to the band and photograph them off-stage, but I didn't want to intrude. They gave me more access than most fans ever get and I remain so grateful to them.
"They gave me a great opportunity because they were really keen on staying in touch with fans and always knew we were important to their success. The Jam is one of those bands that – even now – their fans feel an intense connection to. Most of us know all the words to all the songs.
"I wasn't always strict on copyright of my photos, but I'm sorting that now. I'm proud of these photos and the collection is something quite rare. I obviously chose my best photos first for the exhibition last year and then for this book. It's definitely a fan's perspective of the band and I hope that it means something to everyone who buys it."
Out in a couple of weeks, In the Crowd is on pre-order on Amazon and it's already in the top 50 among similar Music books. It looks like that first edition will sell out fast!Google+

Galamsey operators take over school
Oseikrom, (B/A), Feb. 1, GNA - Illegal miners also known as galamsey operators, in the Asutifi District of Brong-Ahafo have encroached on a large portion of land close to Oseikrom D/C Primary School with their activities hampering normal academic work.
The operators have converted the three classroom block for the 133 school children into residential accommodation and this has resulted in the refusal of the children to attend classes for fear of their lives.
Mr Paul Marfo, Assistant Headmaster of the school, told the Ghana News Agency that the activities of the illegal miners had hindered effective teaching and learning and called for the intervention of the appropriate authorities to bring the situation under control.
Meanwhile some residents have expressed worry about the attitude of the illegal miners and appealed to the District Security Committee to adopt immediate steps to save the future of the school children.

Business ethics can be defined as the ethical behavior of a business to conduct its operations (Marques & Azevedo-Pereira, 2009). The ethical values in the business can be changed as per nature of the business. Business ethics mostly deals with the concept, process and practices of the organization in the business environment. Business ethics in organization requires value based leadership from the top management.
The role of business ethics has become significant in today's challenging environment. Recent corporate scandals in the business environment increased the requirement of ethical business practices. It is very important for the organizations to follow a certain level of ethical consideration to eliminate possibility of fraud.
The stakeholder of the company plays a vital role in implementing ethical values within organization. Business ethics is quite effective to build a good public image and facilitate success in the long-term (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell, 2009).

Sidney Poitier Praises African Talent: "Some of the Best Actors Function in Africa"
Sidney Poitier made a rare public appearance Saturday night in Beverly Hills, stepping out to accept the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Foundation International Leadership Award at the couple's sixth annual Christmas gala and fundraiser.
The event, held in one of Montage Beverly Hills' ballrooms and hosted by former E! News host Terrence J (who departed the network last week to pursue an acting and producing career full-time), proved to be an intimate yet extravagant affair featuring a variety of performances including a Gilligan's Island acting troupe, a dance ditty from a handful of The Rockettes and a musical segment featuring performers from a Hollywood entertainment company singing and dancing their way through a number from the Tony Award-winning musical The Lion King.
Bobby Sherman, a one-time heartthrob whose biggest hits include "Together Again," "Seattle," "Julie, Do Ya Love Me?" and "Cried Like a Baby," even performed for the crowd while his wife Brigitte looked on adoringly. The 88-year-old Poitier clapped along during the live performances while seated next to his wife, Joanna, even joking to The Hollywood Reporter that she hadn't told him he was the night's sole honoree.
"My wife sneaks things on me quite frequently," he says. "I will tell you this: I had a remarkable evening here tonight."
The Oscar-winning legend praised the foundation — a Ghana-based nonprofit that provides education, tutoring, music and art lessons to young children — and thanked the Shermans for delivering a "true experience."
"I have not seen such warmth since I was privileged to make a movie," Poitier recalled before opening up about his time in Africa, where he made a string of films during his career. "I want to tell you that some of the best actors also function in Africa."

Chern on Dispute Boards
Wydawnictwo: Blackwell Science
Kategoria: Anglojęzyczna
Dispute boards were first introduced almost 20 years ago. Since then close to $100 billion US dollars worldwide has been spent on construction projects that have used dispute boards. Of these, 98 per cent were constructed without any court battles and of the remaining 2 per cent, the dispute board decisions were upheld by either arbitration and/or the court: a truly impressive record. Yet very little is known about what dispute boards are and how they operate. This book provides the knowledge necessary for those actively involved in dispute board work as well as for those who need to learn the process.Important features of the book include: analysis of the differences between dispute adjudication boards, dispute resolution boards and combined dispute boards; in-depth discussion of both the existing and historical international case law on dispute boards, including its history under the British common law, European civil law and Muslim Shar 'ah law; analysis of the differences between the various major standard forms of dispute board rules - FIDIC, International Chamber of Commerce and DBFederation - along with sample wording to add to or modify these forms as needed; analysis of how referrals are made to dispute boards and sample forms; an in-depth discussion of the ethical requirements relating to dispute board members; comparison of board selection techniques with guidelines for implementation and recommendations for the parties; and sample forms for use in establishing a dispute board.It also includes: discussion of site visits, how they should be conducted and sample forms; general forms for use in operating a dispute board, form agendas, form reports and their use; how to use a dispute board as a sounding board for grievances; in depth discussion of how to write a decision or recommendation with examples of actual dispute board decisions and recommendations; disclosure forms, questionnaires for potential board members, and comparison of board member agreements and sample forms; a discussion of how to effectively use witnesses and the preparation and presentation of witness statements in dispute board hearings; forms of notice and procedural rules governing the operation of dispute boards; international case studies with claims, responses and decisions; analysis of situations requiring the removal of dispute board members and form agreements for their removal; and discussion of the use of dispute boards in areas other than construction.Czytaj dalej

Arkansas prepares for LSU
University of Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino, Ryan Mallett, Jerico Nelson and Greg Childs met with the media Monday. A transcript of the press conference follows:
Head Coach Bobby Petrino
On LSU:"I know our players are excited to go down there and play against them. We feel like we can play with them. They're a very good football team. They have a tremendous amount of talent. They have speed and we have to execute and play the game of football better than they do. We have to play well and play physical and play fast and execute well."
On Mississippi State's defense:"They didn't have a lot to lose so they were aggressive on their defensive calls and it hurt them at times. We did a nice job of taking advantage of their mistakes. The first touchdown to Joe Adams was on a blown coverage. Mallett and Joe both saw it."
On Paul Petrino's head coach candidacy:"He's going to be a head coach at some point. You have to be patient and make sure you take the right job. You have to make sure that first job is a situation where you can go in and be successful and win. It was nice of Western Kentucky to let Paul go in after the game and spend time there and interview and didn't interfere with our schedule at all. We missed nothing in our preparation for LSU. I don't think it could have worked out any better than that."
On first road game in five weeks:"We're excited to go play on the road this week. We need to play well. We need to go win a tough game on the road and get that experience under our belt. It's certainly something that is a goal for the entire team."
On Arkansas' current win streak against LSU: "It gives you some confidence. When you watch the video you're watching the same guys you played against last year. You look at their defense and most of those guys are the exact same guys that were there last year with the exception of a great defensive end and really good line backer."
Quarterback Ryan Mallett
On road game going to LSU:"We've won four in a row and we are going into a tough game. This week we are going to have to play our best football. We are going to have to go in there and play physical and tough."
On Miss. State being physical:"They were physical and we just had to mix some things up. They had so many people in the box and gave us chances to throw it deeper."
On using so many running backs:"We have so many guys that can step in and play. It's an advantage to us and a disadvantage to defenses. They have to prepare for different styles of running."
On Michael Smith:"He has been helping all the freshman and new guys coming in all year. He keeps everyone focused and helps out the team as a whole."
On preparing for LSU:"They are fast and physical. We just have to go to work and it's going to be a battle that we have to be ready for."
On the bowl scenarios:"Right now we are bowl eligible and we have to go get this win to get a better bowl."
On Dennis Johnson:"There are so many things he can do with the football. When the lights come on is when Dennis turns it on."
Safety/Linebacker Jerico Nelson
On defensive mindset against LSU:"We have to stop their running game and swarm to the ball. We have to put pressure on their quarterback and get some turnovers in Death Valley."
On LSU QB Jordan Jefferson:"I got to play with him two years in high school. He started as a junior. Playing with him was fun and it will help me against him this year."
On game against LSU in 2008:"Last year was a fun game. It was my best performance last year; I had nine tackles and two sacks. We had a different vibe that game. The defense connected the dots last year. We were all on the same page."
WR Greg Childs
On the offense:"Different receivers can do different things. We play in the type of offense that utilizes each wide receiver. We always know that one receiver will have a big day."
On Cobi Hamilton:"He's a big receiver. He always practices hard. He just wants a couple balls a game. We just tell him to make the most of his opportunities."
On Paul Petrino:"He's one of the most amped up coaches. He's the first one to be yelling for everyone to get ready. He tries to pump up the whole team not just the offense."
On offensive improvement the last four weeks:"We have come together the last four weeks. We have players that can make plays all across the field. We practice harder now. Every week we try to get better. We're going to go out and try to play our game."

Adobe has unveiled new features that will headline the upcoming release of Flash Media Server 3 at the IBC trade show in Amsterdam.
Adobe says that this major new release will offer the unique combination of traditional streaming media capabilities and a flexible environment for creating and delivering interactive social media applications to the broadest possible audience. Scheduled to ship in the first quarter of 2008, customers can expect nearly double the previous performance, according to Adobe, as well as new live event support, support for the H.264 video and AAC+ audio codecs, and increased protection for streamed media.
Flash Media Server 3 will also support live and recorded streaming to Flash Lite 3, Adobe's Flash Player runtime specifically designed for mobile phones. Adobe expects the first Flash Lite 3 enabled devices to be available by the end of the year.
"As video on the Web accelerates, audiences around the world expect more reliable, high-quality experiences that live up to and surpass television," said Jim Guerard, vice president of Dynamic Media at Adobe. "By utilizing the performance gains, increased content protection and a better out-of-the box experience in Flash Media Server 3, publishers can quickly and more securely integrate video into their Web sites and applications with more control over playback, interactivity, and branding."
Adobe Flash Media Server 3 is the foundation for delivering both recorded and live Flash Player compatible video and complements Flash Professional CS3, Flash Player 9, Adobe Media Player and Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR).
Today, television shows like Last Comic Standing, Medium, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien are being delivered online thanks to Adobe Flash Player video, while the technology also powers the video capabilities of social networking sites such as YouTube and MySpace.
Customers can develop and deploy a wide variety of social media applications with Adobe Flash Media Server 3, including video, audio/video messaging and blogging, live audio/video chat, text chats, datacasting, and multi-user gaming. The new release introduces enhanced live event support with the upcoming release of Adobe Flash Media Encoder 2, crucial for news and event providers, as well as social media sites in order to deliver their content in realtime.
Streaming performance almost doubles in Adobe Flash Media Server 3, allowing more streams and more users per server, helping to lower overall deployment costs. Building on the recently announced support for H.264 video codec and High Efficiency AAC+ (HE-AAC) audio, Adobe Flash Media Server 3 customers can now leverage most of their existing MPEG content directly without having to re-encode, helping reduce the cost of distributing via Adobe Flash Player compatible video. Users can enjoy higher-quality video experiences in the ubiquitous Flash Player, which Adobe says is currently installed on 98 percent of internet-enabled desktops worldwide.
Adobe Flash Media Server 3 is expected to be available as a service through select partners in the fourth quarter of 2007 and for sale worldwide in the first quarter of 2008.
For more information see the Adobe Web site.

A master craftsman, Don Lark could fix everything except what mattered, his own soul. After tragedy claimed the one thing he loved, he began looking for dilapidated houses to buy, renovate, and resell at a profit, giving these empty shells the second chance at life he denied himself.
Damaged Souls
Then in a quiet Southern town, Lark finds his biggest challenge: a squalid yet sturdy mansion that has suffered decades of abuse at the hands of greedy landlords and transient tenants. While two charming old neighbor ladies ply him with delicious cooking, they offer dire warnings about the house's evil past. But there is something about this building that pushes Lark on, even as its enchantments grow increasingly ominous. Will finishing the house offer Lark redemption, or unleash the darkest forces of damnation upon him?

Excellent ghost story and very well delivered
the strength of the story is the slow and detailed build up in regard to the characters and the situation. So when things get interesting the listener is more involved. The performance of the narrator is excellent as well. All in all...a great supernatural ghost story with a twist or 2 for good measure.

Card in King country!
This really is very Stephen Kingish, I mean that in a good way!
It takes quite a long time before it becomes apparent that this is anything other than an interesting, if a little dark, romantic comedy with an historical dimension.
When the surprises come they add darkness and light.
Strangely there are many Card themes that fans of the Ender/Shadow books will be familiar with?Knowing what is right when nothing is wholly right, and the moral ambiguity of doing unconscious bad.
The other things that will be familiar are excellent, intriguing plotting and a sense of pace that draws you on through the book.
Less familiar is that it quite a sexy book especially at the beginning but there is an interesting twist to all the relationships the raises the book above run of the mill fiction.
Scot Card is really on great form in the more or less here and now and demonstrates again what a very good writer he is.
More King than Ender but very good for all that.

What a Home Indeed!!
Wow, this was an excellent book. Great descriptions and storyline. Nice surprise ending. Out of 200+ audiobooks I've read this one moves up to the top 20 (at least in the suspense genre). Don't expect Ender's Game or something like that. This is more in the Koontz catagory. Buy and enjoy!!

Refreshingly Good...
I normally read Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Anne Rice. I gave this book a try. It was slow to start but still interesting. Then it a has a wow moment and I couldn't stop listening. If you like Koontz or King, you'll enjoy this one.

Great Story
This was a great story that kept me interested until the very end. It would make a great horror movie. The character development was great. They felt very "real." But I think that a little too much time was spend developing minor characters. I kept waiting for them to become major players and they never were.

The first three quarters of the book are totally tedious! The main character is ridden with guilt and pain of having failed as a MAN-the protector and provider, and that is repeated throughout the book ad nauseam. If not for the last part of the book (where something actually starts happening), the whole thing would be a complete waste of time. Quite disappointing.

I find that I either love or hate Orson Scott Card's work. This was definitely one I loved along with Lost Boys and Enchantment. It was amazingly involving and I fell in love with the characters.

Slow, slow, slow
I love Orson Scott Card. This was not at all what I expected. I was three quarters of the way through and I still kept wondering when it would get interesting. The last three hours are the only part worth listening to and I don't think it was worth listening to the first several hours.
There are so many other books written by him that are much better.

Fun Story
Man who lost everything and is haunted by his past purchases house that has a squatter refusing to leave. The book has few characters and they're pretty well developed. What I thought would be a boring tale about a carpenter ends up as a ghost story...surprise, surprise!

Bob Villa writes a book
If you like Bob Villa and home fix it shows you may love this. If you are a fan of Lost Boys the novel not the short story you will like this. The first half of the book is all about renovating an old house and you get much of the detail.
The main character Dan Lark is a no nonsense he-man. He wants to be a hermit and just work. He can not escape society though and people are consistently tangling themselves in his life. I thought this was an interesting lesson. Many times we may want to ignore the world and other people, but that is not as easy as it sounds.
Most of the characters in the book are women and they are some of the most flawed women you will ever meet. Dan comes off a little too perfect, almost a super hero. The whole book reads like a romance novel written by a man. Even though Dan wants to avoid women he finds himself kissing them almost as soon as he meets them and they love it and him, but he always does the right thing and he never sleeps with them.
I like Card's writing and he can write about anything and I would enjoy it. This is proof as I did enjoy the book, but very little happened, especially the first half. I would have loved the book, if he would have put more fantasy into it and I feel kind of cheated that he didn't.

Surprisingly good!
This book was surprisingly good -- a little long and drawn out, but wonderful nonetheless. There were not many surprises, but the plot development, the character interaction, and the story's speed were all excellent. I'll never look at a house the same way again.I look forward to his next book.

Good premise but weak execution
Mr. Card is an obvious graduate of the Dean Koontz School of Superfluousity. I found the incessant and schizophrenic navel contemplation by the two main characters to be unbearably grating and often hit the fast forward button. Early subplots were dropped so abruptly that it appears Mr. Card decided to change the direction of the book, but did not want to go to the effort of a re-write. The book did have some plot twists and an ending that could have been entertaining if they had not been telegraphed chapters before they were actually revealed. One line early in the book was very prophetic. It went something like "Books are either stupid or they're not. If they're stupid, you just find yourself getting angry." I never got angry, but I sure did get exasperated on numerous occasions. The only reason I finished the book was out of a curiosity to see just how bad it could get.

The last Athlete of the Month for 2015 is Ski Orienteer Ulrik Nordberg from Sweden. The young athlete has had a fantastic opening to this season, and despite difficult snow conditions he is training hard to continue doing well in the competitions ahead.
Name: Ulrik Nordberg
Country: Sweden
Club: Umeå OK
Date of Birth: August 22nd 1993
Discipline: Ski orienteering
Career Highlights: World Cup triumph Sprint November 2015, EOC bronze Sprint 2014, JWOC gold Sprint 2013, JWOC silver long 2013, JWOC bronze middle 2012.
Country: Sweden
Club: Umeå OK
Date of Birth: August 22nd 1993
Discipline: Ski orienteering
Career Highlights: World Cup triumph Sprint November 2015, EOC bronze Sprint 2014, JWOC gold Sprint 2013, JWOC silver long 2013, JWOC bronze middle 2012.
IOF World Ranking: 9th
Ulrik Nordberg didn't get in to his first choice of school when applying for gymnasium, the Swedish equivalent of High School. But that particular 2009 setback ended up being not so bad at all for his career.
Nordberg was born in Stockholm and grew up in Söderfors, 125 kilometer north of the Swedish capital. He is the second youngest of four cousins. His mother Karin Nordberg has been very active in sport, and his father Lars Olov Nordberg is also active in sport. Ulrik grew up with orienteering and cross country skiing.
Got the feeling
Already in his second start in ski orienteering he showed incredible talent. Ulrik came third in the Swedish Ski Orienteering Championships in the class Men 15 in 2008.
The venue for the championships was a big reason for Ulrik taking part, as it was organised in Sundsvall which was not so far from home. He hadn't really got hooked on SkiO before the race, but that race and the medal he won were a big inspiration for the young boy, who represented the club Tierps OK at that time.
Ended up in snow district
Some months later he had to decide where to go to gymnasium, or High School. Just like the winner of the Men 15 class in the Ski-O Championships in 2008, Emil Svensk, he applied for the orienteering gymnasium in Sandviken, not so far from home in Söderfors.
- I wanted to go for both orienteering and ski orienteering and thought the gymnasium in Sandviken would be a fine place for doing the combination.
One year older than Ulrik, Tove Alexandersson took the Sandviken route choice, and she's now one of the best in the world in both orienteering and ski orienteering.
Emil Svensk also got into Sandviken. He chose orienteering, and went on to win the middle distance at the JWOC in orienteering in 2013.
Headed north
Ulrik didn't get a place in Sandviken, but he got a place at the sports gymnasium in Älsbyn, in the Northern part of Sweden where his parents are originally from. His mother Karin is from Luleå and his father Lars Olov from Piteå. The family also moved north, back to the roots in the country in 2009, settling down in Luleå.
– I think my parents wanted a bit more snow, Ulrik says.
Älsbyn became a choice that suited the big talent well. Teacher and trainer Sture Norén provided many technical, challenging and good trainings.
– Even if I hoped for Sandviken when I applied for the sports gymnasium, it was good to end up in Älvsbyn.
He spent four years at the Ski-O gymnasium.
He has become better and better and has developed his talent step by step. In 2009 he won the Swedish Youth Championships in Boden. Emil Svensk was one of the athletes that he beat.
When Ulrik started at high school in Älvsbyn he hadn't decided on a main sport, but the natural choice was ski orienteering. Small injuries made it easier to train for the winter variant of orienteering.
The cold part of the year has become the most important for Ulrik, but he is still running a lot of orienteering.
Full time sport
In his last year as a junior he won gold at the sprint at JWOC in Madona in Latvia.
– I had had the gold as a goal for a couple of year. At the sprint in Latvia everything went perfect. My best performance ever. It was also so good to win and get the proof of my level.
The gap to Dag Lofthus from Norway who came in second place was 35seconds, which is a significant gap.
Before last season he was sick for six weeks and needed a lot of the winter to find his way back into shape. He took part in the World Championships in Norway and was 17th on both the Sprint and the Long Distance, and 18th on the Middle Distance.
Number two over all
This winter he has achieved a new level.
Ulrik was first, seventh and second in the first three individual races at the World Cup start of this year's season. In the sprint relay he won together with his team mate Tove Alexandersson.
The individual victory was taken at the sprint. He likes all distances, but there is something special about the shortest discipline.
– You have to be fast on the skis and take fast decisions and avoid all mistakes, he says.
Nordberg has a lot of skills that make him such a good athlete.
– My best skills? I don't have to look much at the map before I understand it. I'm in it just after the first looks. I don't have to look to map all the time either. I can memorise it well.
– How much can you remember?
– About three legs is possible, but just to be sure I often watch the map as I go along.
He also has some advantages in skiing.
– I like to go downhill in steep and small tracks.
Half the age
Ulrik is number two overall after the opening round of the World Cup. The leader is Eduard Khrennikov. The Russian won his first overall triumph in the World Cup when Ulrik was just six and a half years old. The 43 year old Russian is 20 years, three months and three days older than Ulrik.
– Eduard shows the importance of experience in ski orienteering.
– Will you still be in the top business when you're at Khrennikov's age?
– I'm pretty sure I will not be fighting to be one of the very best when I get to Khrennikov's age, he smiles. – But I am also sure I will not stop training, even when I have quit the high level.
After the opening round of the World Cup Eduard Khrennikov has 145 points. Two Swedes follow, first Nordberg with 140 points and then Erik Rost with 125.
This winter the World Cup and European Championship are the main competitions. Of course Ulrik wants to be in the fight for the first positions at the European Championship in Austria. For next winter he has the same goal, but for the World Championship in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia.
The first of the upcoming big races is the World Cup in Germany, which takes place January 21 to 27. The European Championships and the last races in the World Cup will take place in Austria at the end of February and the beginning of March.
He's just training
The snow conditions have been very poor this winter, but there is some natural snow and some man-made snow up in Umeå. There has been very little snow across the whole of Sweden, and races have had to be cancelled.
– It hasn't been good with so little snow. It's not nice, but you have to take it like it is and just do the training. There's not much to do about it. I am managing to get in plenty of cross country ski training, but it's a bit more challenging to get in the orienteering training.
So far this winter Ulrik has taken part in nine events, six in Finland where the World Cup started, and three in his home country.
He moved to Umeå last year, where he has found a new club and new people to train with.
– I am training with cross country skiers who are faster than me. It's a goal to become physically stronger.
The main progress
Since August he has been a full time athlete.
– How does being a professional ski orienteer work financially?
– I worked a lot last spring and summer, so I can do it full time now. I also get help from my parents and sponsors.
His daily life is programmed for doing well in sport.
– Now I can direct all my focus on improving, and the training necessary to reach my goals. I also have time for rest.
Can have days off
During this training year Ulrik will achieve about 600 training hours. A training week can mean anything from 10 to 25 hours. In the training periods he normally takes one day a week without training. During the competition part of the year this can rise from one to two days. He has become more open to do so after he had some weeks with sickness during the autumn 2014. He listens more to his body.
– I can take an extra rest day if I feel that's the smartest thing to do.
Ulrik knows what to do!
Ulrik Nordberg has taken his career step by step, from being one of the best juniors to fighting in the top with the seniors. Already in 2014 – in his first senior year – he took a medal at the European Championships. Now he has won one individual race in the World Cup, and is number two overall.

On-line therapy is one of the newest trends in mental healthcare. Although many clients still choose the face-to-face approach, on-line counseling has become an important option for some clients in certain situations. It is not intended for serious mental health issues or illnesses requiring medication, but it can be successful in helping people through difficult life issues like divorce or interpersonal conflict.
A Mental Health Minute by Cristina Frick
Happy birthday, Dad- I love and miss you!
Electronic therapy is often conducted through e-mail. Clients ask therapists questions about a situation or express their thoughts and feelings, and the therapist will respond. Internet chats are sometimes used as well, allowing clients to have a "real-time" fifty-minute session on-line. Therapy using web cameras is currently being developed as well.
This method of counseling is surprisingly effective when used in addition to other treatment. One study found that clients who received on-line therapy as a follow-up to inpatient treatment fared better than those who did not receive it. The study made no comparison of on-line follow-up with face-to-face follow-up to see which would be more effective, or which would lead to greater participation by patients.
Another study concluded that on-line therapy is an important source of support for those struggling with addiction.
There are good reasons why someone might seek on-line therapy, like being homebound or wanting anonymity. Other reasons on-line therapy is succeeding include the following:
- People living in rural areas who do not have easy access to a psychologist can receive therapy.
- People who could not normally afford therapy can get e-Therapy, via e-mail for as little as $25, or for a flat rate, which is usually cheaper than traditional therapy.
- People who would not normally seek traditional therapy because of stigma might choose the on-line option.
- It is convenient for those with difficult schedules.
- It allows people who are disabled or cannot leave the house to receive treatment.
Although it shows promise in many situations, if you suspect you may have a serious mental illness, such as major depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder — and certainly if you are feeling suicidal, you should seek a therapist's help in person rather than using the online approach. Here are some other cautions about this treatment type:
- The therapist may not even have the client's real address or contact information should an emergency arise.
- The Internet poses confidentiality issues.
- Many insurance policies do not cover it.
- If web cameras or Skype/voice systems are not used, it may be impossible for therapists to read a client's vocal tone or body language in order to decipher whether the client is telling the truth.
- It is much harder to build a trusting relationship, which is one of the hallmarks of effective treatment. It may also be harder to build positive regard and empathy for the client. Less attention may be given to the online client.
- Therapist credentials need to be checked carefully.
While it shows promise for clients who might not otherwise receive therapy, it is important that it be conducted ethically and that clients educate themselves about its appropriate use. Learn more about online therapy from USA Today.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are feeling depressed or think you might be suffering from a mental illness, find a therapist in your state . If you are feeling suicidal, or if you know someone who is, (warning signs include marked changes in sleeping or eating, profound sadness or hopelessness, giving away belongings/saying goodbye to others, or a sudden lifting of depression because the person may mistakenly feel they have "found a way out"), please get help. Call the Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Suicide is not the answer for your pain, and there is help and hope available. Please call now.

Well being that the Harry Potter movies have long since passed and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey doesn't come out until December, I've got to keep myself busy somehow. So in the past week I've bought and sped through the first two Hunger Games books and am about to start the third. Thank Amazon.com and my Kindle touch for making the books so damn cheap, and thank my mom for buying me my Kindle for Christmas. 2012- the year of The Hobbit, the Hunger Games and new albums from Garbage and Fiona Apple. This year, I get to be a teen all over again….

Book Review: Abū Bakr al-Bayhaqī's al-Madkhal ilā 'Ilm al-Sunan
Book Review: Abū Bakr al-Bayhaqī's al-Madkhal ilā 'Ilm al-Sunan
By Muntasir Zaman
[Al-Madkhal ilā 'Ilm al-Sunan, by Abū Bakr al-Bayhaqī, 2016, 1st ed. Muhammad 'Awwāmah, pp.969 + 94, vol.2, $35 (hardback), ISBN 978-9933-503-59-8]
Covering nearly one-hundred topics, it is no wonder the disciplines of Hadīth are one of the few sciences that are 'ripe' (nadaj) and 'roasted' (ihtaraq), that is, they were clearly elucidated and thoroughly researched (al-Jazā'irī, Tawjīh al-Nażar, vol.2, p.903). Obviously, this accomplishment was not the doing of a few scattered scholars; it was the result of relentless effort from an unbroken chain of scholars over a millennium. In his authoritative commentary, Nuzhat al-Nażar, Hāfiż Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalānī (d. 852 AH) briefly outlines the most prominent installments to the genre of Hadīth nomenclature, starting with al-Ramahurmuzī's (d. c. 360 AH) al-Muhaddith al-Fāsil and culminating with Abū 'Amr Ibn al-Salāh's (d. 643 AH) Ma'rifat Anwā' 'Ilm al-Hadīth. There is, however, a conspicuous gap as one key figure does not feature on this list: the 5th century Hadīth expert and prolific author, Abū Bakr al-Bayhaqī (d. 458 AH), whose monumental work al-Madkhal ilā 'Ilm al-Sunan serves prima facie as merely an introduction to his compendium, al-Sunan al-Kubrā, but in essence is a phenomenal work in its own right.
Al-Madkhal was first edited in 1984 by Dr. Diyā' al-Rahmān al-A'żamī and published by Dār al-Khulafā', but it was based on an incomplete manuscript. In 2016, Dār al-Minhāj published the book in two volumes with annotations from Shaykh Muhammad 'Awwāmah, who cross-examined it with two early manuscripts, one complete and the other partly incomplete. To create awareness of this valuable work, we will briefly summarize its contents, highlight certain salient passages, and examine the editorial work of Shaykh 'Awwāmah.
For our purposes, al-Madkhal can broadly be categorized into an introduction and three parts. The introduction comprises an expose of Imām al-Shāfi'ī's (d. 204 AH) status as a scholar and mujtahid. Towards the end, the author dedicates several passages to explain the reason for compiling al-Sunan al-Kubrā and the modus operandi of citing hadīths therein (pp.3-45). This is followed by two chapters on the virtues of studying, and the obligation of following, the Qur'ān and the Sunnah, respectively (pp.46-74). The first part covers essential and peripheral discussions concerning Hadīth (pp.75-406). These include introductory topics, such as the authoritativeness of the Sunnah and the veracity of isolated-transmission; it further delves into the disciplines of Hadīth proper with chapters on paraphrased transmission, tadlīs, the traits of a reliable transmitter, and the use of mursal reports. The second part of al-Madkhal covers discussions on legal theory, such as consensus, ijtihad, Mafhūm al-Mukhālafah, and ostensibly conflicting hadīths (pp.407-669). The third part covers the virtues of acquiring knowledge, the rank of scholars, and the etiquettes of students (pp.670-886). Read the rest of this entry »

Watercolour/gouaches washes over a graphite drawing create pretty interesting effects, in my opinion. :)
First, powdered graphite was applied to the entire surface. Details were then erased into the graphite ground. A light wash of watercolours and gouache was applied after the erasing was completed, and voila!
I'm losing my Japanese vocab, I hope that's correct. <:
Eraser on graphite ground with watercolour & gouache wash
So I guess I'll put up some of my life drawing... I've never done it before and this is my progress after 7 classes, it was the first time we're allowed to use one colour! Our instructor had us use 3 different colours for each of the main steps: 1) gesture 2) joints 3) mass structures. We haven't delved into contour and tone yet.
(And please excuse poor photography) ;-;
20 minute poses - really need to work on hands & feet, among...well everything else xD

Clothes App Can Be Fun for Everyone
Men and women buy clothes not just to cover themselves but also to appear fashionable and smart. If it comes to baby clothes, these apps have been shown to be somewhat useful and have come to be quite popular within a very brief length of time. Clothes are items which are easy to sell because they're a simple necessity. Wholesale clothes are easily available from SaleHoo suppliers. Wholesale clothes from these types of suppliers are extremely cheap but well-designed, fashionable and of excellent quality. If you're selling branded clothes, be certain to incorporate the brand name in the title. Finding affordable and fashionable clothes for men can be somewhat tricky.
It has some wonderful capabilities. The excellent zooming feature that can be found on the cell app provides you a thorough analysis of these products.
The War Against Clothes App
You have the choice to open many completely free clothes app. When it has to do with the fashion choices for your son or daughter, now all you should do is to access these applications and you are going to be presented with a great deal of excellent ideas. Therefore, you must think wisely and pick a very affordable option that would drive fantastic effects in the very long run. When it does, there are several options and strategies to adjust your photos.
Clothes App Options
The app has a welcoming look with cute graphics, and the notion that you're able to grow your very own digital garden at the same time you learn will draw the playful learners among you. The majority of these apps provide local shopping enabling people to purchase or sell an item the exact day rather await a package that's not guaranteed to get delivered. Yepme free shopping app offers you hassle free one-touch-access to the newest fashion out there.
The app lets me choose what kind of wash cycle I want. These clothes (as you may read on wikipedia) apps permit you to choose the ideal baby boy dress. Dating apps are an excellent approach to view more men that are potentially up for grabs.
The app includes audio-visual learning lesson, where you find an image with each word or phrase and you'll hear them spoken by natives. This app may also be used if you're already really good in that language and you simply need to repeat stuff or need to chat to natives or if you require somebody to review what you've written. This mobile app is easy to get on the Google Play Store. Dating apps aren't for everybody, I get that.
The Debate Over Clothes App
The app will inform you exactly what the challenge is so I can repair the machine myself (if it is a very simple problem). Powered by Czech developer (in czech it is called levné oblečení), this app is additionally a wonderful website which makes it feasible that you purchase and sell online. The app will cause you to get sure that you aren't spending any excess money on outdated and absolute fashion stuff. Google apps, social networking, and gaming apps are arguably dominating the cell application industry. The application requires a while, and thus don't apply if you're in a rush. All you have to do is to tap on the application and it would direct you through the remainder of the approach.

WASHINGTON — New rules proposed by the nation's chief communications regulator to ensure unfettered access to the Internet would level the online playing field as more people surf the Web on mobile devices, but the plan has wireless carriers in an uproar.
Monday's proposal by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski would ensure that consumers would be able to get whatever content they want on the Internet and to use any service they want.
But the telecommunications and the cable companies that control both land-line and wireless access to the Internet argue that some customers who download large amounts of data, such as a continuous flow of movies, can jam their networks. Regulations that prevent the companies from restricting such bandwidth hogs, they contend, would hamper their networks, harm innovation and delay upgrades.
The debate centers on so-called network neutrality principles that the FCC has been using for four years to prevent telecom companies, such as AT&T Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc., from restricting access to websites and other online services.

One of greatest traditions that we have at Nebraska is the walk on program. Bob Devaney started the walk-on tradition At Nebraska (some would disagree with that point), but Tom Osborne perfected it.
"The walk-on program didn't really necessarily have a day or year that it started. Remember, it's only been in the last 60 years or so that they've given athletic scholarships, so, in theory, the players on the teams for the first 60 years were all walk-ons. With that said, Langston Coleman is kind of seen as the first successful walk-on player since they started giving out scholarships. Coleman came to NU in the 60s… But, the walk-on program was not all that important until the NCAA started limiting scholarships in the 70s. Once that happened, the program gained prominence and importance, with players like Toby and Jimmy Williams earning honors." Nate Rohr
I.M. Hipp is another one of those great walk-ons that went through the historic program.
This is the link for NET… I was hoping the full length video of what NETV did on the walk-ons would be on this site, but all we get is about 3 minutes. The site is still good because they have a couple other links, one with Steven M. Sipple and the other is from the Husker's home page.
There have been many good walk-ons that have come through the Nebraska system and all of them have gone on to do bigger and better things. Like the video said, the kick heard around the world was orchestrated by three walk-ons, probably the most well know being Alex Henery. The story of Derek Meyer's comeback to Nebraska and now Scott Criss walking on after playing a season in Wyoming is a telling story of what players feel about playing for the Huskers.

Product Description
When I was seventeen I had the good fortune of meeting a beautiful blue eyed blond girl who agreed to go on a date with me. I never let her go and that same blue eyed blond is now my wife. This was the first original recipe I ever created and I wanted to name it after the woman who has always stood by my side and supported me through everything, without her Knuth Brewing would not be possible. Expect this beer to be light colored and easy drinking for any occasion. There is nothing artificial in it only malted barley, water, hops, and yeast. Made with Wisconsin 2-Row malt, Hallertau and Saaz hops. After fermentation we age this beer in fresh noble Saaz hops for a short time to provide a refreshing aroma and flavor without being bitter.

Governor takes LGBT rights battle to state Supreme Court
NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana's governor is going to the state's Supreme Court in hopes of reviving his executive order aimed at protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in state government.
Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, issued an order in April 2016 banning discrimination in state government and state contracts based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry challenged the order.
A state district judge and a state appeal court have agreed that the order was an unconstitutional attempt to expand state law.
On Friday, Edwards' office released a copy of its appeal to the state Supreme Court in New Orleans.
Edwards' lawyers argue that the executive order, referred to in court documents as JBE 16-11, is not a law, but an executive branch policy that Edwards has the authority to set.
"JBE 16-11 is simply a policy directive concerning state employment in the executive branch and the contractual provisions of state services," the governor's Supreme Court filing states. "It does not have the effect or force of law. It establishes a principle significant to Governor Edwards — that discrimination is not a Louisiana value — through a valid mechanism for issuing executive branch directives."
Efforts to pass LGBT protections have failed in the Legislature.
Edwards' Supreme Court filing comes a month after a three-judge state appeal court panel ruled against Edwards. The state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal ruling said the order "goes beyond a mere policy statement or a directive to fulfill law, because there is no current state or federal law specifically outlining anti-discrimination laws concerning and-or defining sexual orientation or gender identity."
Landry, who has clashed with Edwards on several issues since both took office in 2016, is considered a potential challenger for Edwards in the 2019 governor's race. His office said late Friday that it would oppose Edwards' efforts.
"We believe the First Circuit got it right when they ruled last month," said Ruth Wisher, Landry's press secretary.
It was unclear when the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear arguments in the case

Hi there buddy! Awesome code – bought it in a heart beat.
I have a quick question (one that someone above managed to solve themselves)
Basically, what I want is to link the main image/holder to pop up the PrettyPhoto action (that the VIEW button does currently). My hope is to make it uber simple & streamline.
Hi. You will need to dig inside the main JS, assets/jquery.zoomer.js, check line 186, that's where the lightbox class is being called. You will need to apply the same to the .image element, but note that you will be loosing the dragging functionality!
Hope this helps. Kind regards and thanks for purchase.
Made some quick testing, you won't loose the gradding functionality, just add this code on line 187 on the JS:
$(".image").click(function() {$(".lightbox a[href='" + i.attr("src") + "']:eq(0)").trigger("click");});
maybe you will need to control the cursor css to add the link-pointer icon.
awesome, thanks – worked a charm! added that cursor: pointer; entry to .zoomer .holder .image in the CSS
Hi pezflash, sorry to bother you, but i need your help, im using this with inline frame, but when i clic "view" button, it opens the full image insde the iframe, how can i make it open the image outside the iframe? any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Hi. Your layout is complex. You will need to have the prettyPhoto script loaded on your parent level, then call it from inside the iframe. Have not previous experiences with it, but google it, seems to be some results matching your request. Here goes one that looks promising:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2180019/display-jquery-prettyphoto-lightbox-in-parent-from-iframe
Let me know if you can get it running.
Is there a way to add a vimeo video to the photo gallery? I tried adding it to the lightbox but it's not displaying correctly.
Hi. Yes, you can open Vimeo videos within the provided lightbox gallery. Check the samples on PrettyPhoto site to see how code should be formatted:http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
Just remember to add the href code inside the hidden lightbox div.
If you can't get it running, send me your URL through my profile form so i can take a look. Kind regards and thanks for purchase.
Hi there, can i use this with jquery 2.1.0?
It doesnt seem to be working when i use that
Hi. Didn't tested with it, i'm planing an upgrade for this plugin to modern jquery library, but i was thinking about using jquery-1.10.2, which is a bit earlier than the one you point out, but with IE legacy support (1.11.0 > 2.1.0). Meanwhile, you can give a try using Jquery migrate (http://blog.jquery.com/2013/05/08/jquery-migrate-1-2-1-released/), just link that js and see if it works.

Arriving in Caermor, the party began investigating the disappearances, starting with the cottage of an itinerant artist named Albee, largely regarded as the culprit. He and the missing girl Gwendolyn vanished the same night, and villagers found a bloody painter's smock left behind at the cottage. The group looked around and found little else — a few drawings of Gwendolyn and art supplies. Adara assumed animal form to investigate the smock, and concluded that the blood was likely not human.
The party met with another group of adventurers that were conducting their own inquiries into the disappearance. The leader of the group, Lane the Archer, advised the party that the locals seemed unusually tight-lipped and suspicious of outsiders. The party's own inquiries in town bore out this observation, until a note was subtly passed to them at the tavern. The group met with Lara, wife of the innkeep MacHeath, privately. She shared suspicions about some sort of local conspiracy, including a fear that her husband might be implicated. The group had little other success in their investigations, so Marsk turned to a hunchbacked old woman in the tavern to have his fortune told. Mother Gloam, as she is known locally, warned him of a dangerous woman that might oppose his prosperity.
Some of the party decided to take the long walk up the hill outside of town to the standing stones that gave the village its name. Investigating the weathered dwarven inscriptions, they learned that this was the site of some doomed final stand between evil dwarves and an army of humans and elves. The dwarven leader struck some deal with an entity named "Cador," but was still defeated. Reporting back to the rest of the group, the party decided that everyone should return that evening, as some rumors in town said strange lights could be seen flickering on the hilltop late at night. Sure enough, in the dead of night, a ghostly dwarven figure clad in ancient armor appeared and attacked. After defeating him, the group investigated and found dwarven bones and a shield crushed beneath a fallen lintel stone. The group claimed the shield, and Tarmo consecrated and buried the bones.

Ferrata Trincee to Bech da Mesdi Loop is a 10.5 kilometer loop trail located near Ciamp dello Stanzon, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy that features a lake. The trail is rated as difficult and primarily used for hiking and rock climbing.
rock climbing
This is a simple and short via ferrata, formal difficulty C, but only because of the beginning. Most of the route is difficulty B only. It is located above the Lago di Fedaia, about 10 km east from the town Canazei in South Tirol, Italy. There are more interesting ferratas around, but the importance of Trincee will rise in case of unstable weather. The ferrata may be interrupted and you can return to a lower footpath on the south hillside on several places. You can also set up to Trincee with children, just make sure you have proper ferrata set (harness, helmet and a light) for all of you. You will have a perfect view to Punta Penia from Marmolada Group, which is on the other side of the lake. The ferrata ends with a long tunnel system. The trip starts at west end of Lago di Fedaia, along footpath no. 698 up to Porta Vescovo, then via ferrata delle Trincee to Passo Padon and down to east end of Lago di Fedaia.

There was a Micro-light aircraft practising its landing procedures which probably contributed to the lack of birds as well as some off-road bikers that were tearing around the place making a racket! I decided to go through to Hoogland Health Hydro to see what was about here and was pleasantly surprised with a Yellow-throated Petronia pair that were feeding their chicks at the nest in a tree stump right next to the road. The nest was in a tree next to a slope so I could get up high and photograph level with their position.. This is the first time I have seen this species so close to home!
|Yellow-throated Petronia (3)
|Kurrichane Thrush (2)
Another interesting sighting for this area was a Short-toed Rock-thrush which is only supposed to be a winter visitor to this site?
|Short-toed Rock-thrush
After asking for permission, I took a drive to the air-field which has a picnic site nearby. This was a great spot for some good birds, I saw Lesser Honeyguide, Bru-bru, Violet-backed Starling, Red-throated Wryneck, Paradise Flycatcher, Black Cuckooshrike, Black-backed Puffback, Klaas' Cuckoo and SA Cliff Swallows. On the drive up there I heard Red-wing Francolins calling higher up and spotted a Black-breasted Snake-eagle circling overhead. I could not get close enough for decent photos of any of these species however.
Finally for the possible reptile fans out there who may find this site, I photographed two interesting fellows who I have tentatively identified as a Transvaal Girdled Lizard and a Spotted Gecko but if you know better then let me know the correct names, thanks!
|Transvaal Girdled Lizard?
|Spotted Gecko?
That's all I have time for now but I had a great trip to Mkhombo Dam again last weekend which I will be posting shortly so keep an eye out for it.

Sydney: England pace bowler Tim Bresnan has been ruled out of the rest of the one-day series against Australia with a torn calf muscle and will return home for rehabilitation, though he is expected to be fit for the World Cup, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Sunday.
Bresnan suffered the injury in the second one-day match on Friday in Hobart, which England lost by 46 runs, and did not play the third game in Sydney on Sunday.
Chris Woakes made his debut for England in the match at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which Australia won by four wickets to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Steve Finn would remain with the squad for the remainder of the one-day series, which moves to Adelaide for the fourth match on Wednesday, the ECB added.

KODA photographers do not work as affiliated to any organizations or media organs however they produce joint projects. The photographers determine the themes and way of expression on their own.

KODA adopts the principle of providing visual contents in the agency's archive to the national and international non-governmental organizations, photographers can work with these organizations individually or on a mutual project with the agency. Photographers target to share their experiences at documentary photograph workshops with limited participants every year under KODA Photo Agency.

Real Service
Maldonado's... A custom shirtmaker for over 42years. Originally from Los Angeles, trained and worked with some of the finest shirtmakers. We our a small business that believes in service, no excuses and an establishment that guarantees everything we make or send out to customers world wide.
Yes, we are a real business with a store front located at:10730 Potranco Rd,Suite 122,box 167,San Antonio,Texas 78251. Yes we can provide you phone numbers of customers not located in San Antonio if your in doubt.
We specialize in collar replacement for custom made and readymade shirts. I can't think of any brand or custom made shirt that has not come into our shop since we first created our web site in 2001.
Our concept is to receive a shirt in need of cuffs and collar, copy by making a pattern of the collar and cuffs. Washing and shrinking the fabric before cutting, therefore minimizing the shrinkage of the collar and cuffs. We can make collar and cuffs from a sketch ,photo, or your verbal instruction. We can make your new collars and cuffs any size to fit your shirts.
Our customers have complete access to someone who can answer questions 7 days a week
We normally use a 2X100 Egyptian cotton in Broadcloth or Pinpoint Oxford which is washed and shrunk before contructing your cuffs and collars. In many cases we can cut collars from the shirttail.
We can provide you with details of what you should ask on this method. Questions are: length of shirt, width of the back shirt and the pattern(stripe or solid).Call or email for complete details:1-210-400-5052 Finally we offer a shirt re-cut service from your body measurements.
The pin collar from readymade shirts concept came about by a gentlman in Lake Tahoe,Calfornia who basically had a problem of having plenty of collar pin bars but could not find enough pin collar shirts.These type of shirts normally follow a fashion trend, sometimes being able to find tons and at other times few to select. The man from Lake Tahoe doesn't have that problem anymore.
No matter where you buy your shirts readymade or those made to measure shirts that were cut to big to start can be re-cut.

IndieGameStand (https://www.indiegamestand.
com) has been serving the indie game community for almost two years -- first introducing "pay what you want" sales that put a new game in the spotlight every 96 hours, then opening a storefront where developers can easily list games and set their own prices. Now the site is expanding even further with the launch of new community features that went live this morning.
While the "usual suspects" are well represented (forums, user profiles, the ability for users to link to social media accounts, etc.), the highlight is a user review system where you can rank games, write reviews, and upvote helpful reviews. Better yet, in a feature created especially for the indie game community's growing crew of "Let's Players," users can embed videos from YouTube, Twitch.tv, and Vimeo -- so "on the fence" gamers get easy access to content that helps them decide which game to buy, and Let's Players get new ways to find an audience and monetize their videos.
"IndieGameStand's mission is to support the indie community by connecting developers with consumers who love indie games. Our new user review system -- the first of its kind among game storefronts -- is another tool for uniting this community," says IndieGameStand's founder Mike Gnade. "Let's Players are a lot like indie developers, trying to get their content noticed on a very big, very noisy internet. With IndieGameStand's user reviews, now they can get their videos in front of the ideal audience: potential customers of the games they're streaming. Let's Players, developers, gamers -- the whole indie community benefits."
To get the user reviews rolling, IndieGameStand has a massive sale going on with more than a hundred indie developers participating. Discounted games include fan favorites Proteus, 1849, Ascendant, Megabyte Punch, and dozens of others. The storefront carries almost four hundred PC, Mac, and Linux games, many of which come with a free Steam or Desura key, digital soundtracks, and other extras.
Visit https://www.indiegamestand.com to check out the new community features and pick up some quality indie games for cheap. The site is also running a contest with prizes going to the users whose reviews are voted most helpful; for details, visit https://indiegamestand.com/
If you're a Let's Player who wants to embed your videos, go to https://indiegamestand.com/
community.php for details.
While any community member can post a user review, IndieGameStand also allows bloggers and online journalists to link to external reviews from the storefront. Email email@example.com to apply to have your site included.
