Previously on STK:
'Rock Band' having found refuge in a gnomish / dwarven village near the icy Sword Coast, discovered that strange happenings were occurring all around them. Having been drinking himself into a bit of a stupor, Juxor decided to take a walk in the cold crisp air that surrounds the mining village. His walk was interrupted by a strange visual cue that appeared around the corner of a few buildings.
Walking closer, he clutched his axe to his chest as he looked to examine the strange rip in the air. The rip was pulling in air and small debris through itself. And it looked like he could see cobblestone streets through the strange portal as well. After crying out to the others that he was going through, he tried to stick his head through the tear in space, but the surprisingly strong pull of the fissure caught him off guard as he was immediately sucked through – landing hard on a dusty bricked road near the Dock Ward of the City of Neverwinter.
Neverwinter itself has been through cataclysm and change as recently as sixty years ago and has been slowly rebuilding since the chasm that once separated itself has been resealed by magic. But getting ahead of ourselves. A few members of Rock Band made their way to the portal – but others haven't leaving the party separated by hundreds of miles. With the Giant threat still on-going, and other calamities afoot, hard choices will need to be made soon to ensure the safety of the Realms!
Inside an incense filled general store in the marketplace, Joxur, Blein, Draco, Alustria and Raythias were busy doing what all noble adventurers do after such success…shopping. Though their funds didn't stretch as far as they would hope, a few of the North's rare items were tucked away here for sale – almost for decoration more so than actual use. But that didn't stop Joxur and Draco from wheeling and dealing their way for greatswords and staves of magic. The proprietor, Rendaril, is a grizzled half-elf who slurs his speech and sometimes speaks in stutters did his best to make a profit here, in some cases giving away the store, he sells some needed provisions to the newcomers happily.
But their funds are not without limit. They had just arrived in Bryn Shander with little more than a mandate from an aloof Cloud Giant and unsure if their authority under the Lord's Alliance would go much further. But helping their new found friends from the battle seemed like a good place to start.
The deputy sheriff Augrek Brighthelm, a young dwarven woman has asked the new giant slayers if they would speak to her kin on her behalf to try and acquire reinforcements to come to Bryn Shander and bolster the defenses.
Another more pressing request came from Joxur's new friend Sirac. An acolyte of Torm, he came to Icewind Dale to become a fisherman and ended up finding religion. When the attack happened, and the lead female Frost Giant demanded if the citizens knew where Artus Cimber was, he knew he had to inform someone that he was Artus' forgotten son. Revealing to Joxur that he is the reason the giants attacked, he knows they are after the Ring of Winter an artifact of old that is rumored to be with his father. He doesn't believe Artus even has the ring but obviously this faction of Frost Giants do.
He relays that Artus has connections in Waterdeep with a noble family known as the Roaringhorns. He says he will accompany the company as far south as Luskan and then take a ship south to Waterdeep hoping the Frost Giants won't follow him on the open seas. As Waterdeep is several leagues south of Icewind Dale, everyone has agreed to do this request last.
Unbeknownst to the party, Duvessa, who later appeared and ended up purchasing their items and provisions is waiting to see if the adventurers will succeed at Ironmaster before approaching them with a task she needs done in Waterdeep as well.
Finally, Draco's drinking buddy from the Kelvin's Comfort Inn, Sir Baric Nylef, is determined to find a criminal dwarf that goes by the name Weevil. At this point, however, he fears that the trail has gone cold. He plans to remain in Bryn Shander a couple more days before searching elsewhere and he didn't want to waste Draco or his compatriot's time in what could be a futile hunt for the dwarf. Instead, he has asked that the Order of the Gauntlet be informed of his whereabouts and intentions. To that end – he has asked that Draco to seek out another member of the order and report on Baric's status by seeking out Sir Lanniver Strayl, a devout follower of Tyr who lives in Neverwinter. As Neverwinter is just south of Luskan and on the way to Waterdeep, Sir Baric knows this shouldn't cause a delay for his new friend and allies.
Leaving through the now decimated southern gate, the giant slayers of Icewind Dale have set off for Ironmaster to speak with the Brighthelm clan and ask for reinforcements. After a brief skirmish with a Fire Giant and some ogres, the company has set up camp for the night near a frozen lake, ever watchful for those that wish them harm!
Not long after dispatching the orcs and rescuing the townfolk of Nightstone, the company was surprised by screams coming from the public square of the ransacked town they just liberated. A floating tower of immense size was approaching from the north. Settling above the Inn, nearly a thousand feet up, firm cloud like steps formed reaching the ground as if to extend an invitation to come.
Never one to back down from such invites, Blein, Draco, Rathias and the other proceeded carefully up the cloud steps, trying hard not to look down.
Once on "solid" ground, they walked through the main open air entrance of this vast tower to find a cloud giant smiling benevolently at them.
"Hail and well met my young travelers!" he boomed. "I am Zephyros and I have come to ask you for aid. I have come in peace and wish no ill will or harm on you or those below! Please, lower your weapons and hear me out."
Cautiously, the heroes of Nightstone did as he asked and he began to spin a fantastic tale of how Giant-kind has been thrown into physical and divine chaos. Something called the Ordening has been shattered – with rumors being said that the current Storm Giant King has gone missing and that their god has revoked the favoritism of the Storm Giants throwing all the other species underneath them into a political and civil mess.
As such, some of taken to flight – others have begun raiding the lands of the small folk, hoping to curry favor. Zephyros tells you all that if something isn't done. The Sword Coast and beyond will never be safe.
Thinking it over the party accepted and as a reward, Zephyros flew his tower toward Bryn Shander – their destination far far away towards Icewind Dale.
During the journey they encountered an evil elemental cult that wanted Zephyros' help in freeing their master. He politely declined once he discerned their intentions and that he was opposed to them. Next the Lord's Alliance dispatched a small battalion of dwarves via a silver dragon to destroy cloud giant castle navigational orbs and send them crashing to the ground!
But the heroes were very persuasive in letting the LA know that THIS particular giant was no threat and to not destroy him.
Some days later, they arrived in the cold north of Bryn Shander…. snow covered the walled city battlements and crisp northern air began to chill your bones. Reaching the Southern Gate – you met a deputy sheriff of the city, a dwarf woman, who polite enough but stern to make sure you knew common sense laws and courtesy is expected to be followed here.
Taking her advice about the Inn and Tavern in the city, you all headed there to get out of the cold and assess the situation. Your drinks and food were cut short, however, when news of frost giants attacking the city walls reaches your ears!
Springing into action, you once again head toward the southern gate of the city, were 10 frost giants have descended from the Spine of the World to destroy this city of small folk!
After searching for survivors in Nightstone and defeating a small orc army, the deputized Lords Alliance party buried their new friend Garuuk and set off to find the hiding remaining villagers in the Dripping Caves. Searching through knee high saw grass and muck they arrived at the base of a large hill, with several tunnels leading into it. Draco decided to take a look above to see what else he could find and happened upon a covered 5 foot hole in the ground that descended 50 feet to the cavern depths below.
After some creative rope climbing antics, the group managed to get down the narrow shaft and immediately slaughter the goblin boss Hark and his lieutenants, saving the lady in waiting to Lady Velrosa of Nightstone and stopping a horrible alliance between the goblins and nearby ogres.
Getting her off to safety, the party then marched onward through the cavern and defeated the remaining goblins and ogres after a pitched battle that nearly had done everyone in! Confident they had destroyed everyone, they ventured onward exploring a tunnel that led to a large pit filled with sleeping bats. Above on ledges, the thirty or so remaining villagers that had not yet been killed or eaten!
Relieved that most were still alive, Draco, Alustria and the others rescued and escorted them back to Nightstone where they took a good night's rest before deciding where to go next in investigating the original attack on the village.
During the first session, the DM will review character selections, back stories, and goals so that each of you will have some major part in the adventure that will advance you toward your goal. This campaign will take you to level 10 – however, I have two other adventures that will tie-in to take you potentially to level 20 after Storm King's Thunder completes. Make certain of your decisions and goals!

|Sound the Feasting Horn
Wednesday Jared and I had our dinner and a movie date. The plan: beef ragu sauce on gnocchi, french bread and salad. Let me tell you it was the stinking best Italian food I have ever had in America. It was a feast. Thanks to Jared's mom for the white wine--it made all the difference. The movie: 12 Angry Men. Not your typical date movie to be sure, but I had to watch it for an assignment. And actually quite a good film as well. Also treat: below.
The race truly was Amazing, and haunted. Jared and I totally won. Except again, not officially, since apparently one other couple had done one "clue" that we hadn't had to do. We finished everything first including one very tricky word scramble. We figured out all but the last one, spootin took us forever. Turns out it was potions. We turned it in and were told, "That's it you won!" WE CELEBRATED! Then our victory was stolen from us. Lame. But we are winners at heart.
This activity made me want to come up with one of these on my own for next year. An all round fantastic night.

I love the filters that GMail offers. Except, I barely have to use them because their spam filter is so good.ReplyDelete
Your tips are very helpful. I have to take time to clear those spam emails everyday.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us. I like this post. It is very interesting. Thanks again for this wonderful approach.ReplyDelete
There are many unwanted or spam emails in my email account. Thank you for sharing this. Now i know how to block them.ReplyDelete
But Saif, what about those different pop up emails that keeps on getting in my email? Actually no problem with my gmail. The problem is with my yahoo. There are lots of emails from peoples I don't know. Anyhow, thank you for this, I will apply this to my accounts.ReplyDelete
Your post have the information that is helpful and very informative. I would like you to keep up the good work. You know how to make your post understandable for most of the people.ReplyDelete
I'm going to try this as soon as possible. Have lots of unwanted email sender that needs to be blocked.ReplyDelete
This is one amazing way to block unwanted mails. well done on this post. Be back for more tips.ReplyDelete
I have blocked unwanted mail in the past, but I gradually began to fear that I was going to miss something important without knowing about it. Now I just use filters and send mail that's typically garbage to a quasi-junk folder. That way it's there if I want it and out of the way otherwise.ReplyDelete
gmail is great at filtering malware over emails.ReplyDelete
sometimes too restrictive, but worth it.
Definitely want to block some exes-- thanks for this!! Ha.ReplyDelete
I also want to block some unwanted emails its really helpful for me..ReplyDelete
Awesome post dude its so much informative for the followers and so much helpful also.I appreciate you for this great post.Thanks for sharing.Keep it up.
The junk e‑mail filter is designed to catch obvious unsolicited commercial e‑mail messages (often called "spam") and move them to a special Junk e‑mail folder. You can increase or decrease the junk e‑mail protection level based on how much junk e‑mail you receive.ReplyDelete
Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 feature automatic spam protection. To switch it on, select Tools then Options and click on the Junk Email… button and select the level of junk email protection you want.ReplyDelete
Blocking senders sounds impressive, mighty and useful, but it rarely is. To combat spam, for example, it is practically useless as spammers change their purported "address" with every message.ReplyDelete
That being said, you can block mail by an annoying person who forwards every joke and virus warning, for example. In Windows Live Hotmail, this is easy, too.
Your Blog is very good, I like it! Thank you for your sharing!ReplyDelete
Your trick on blocking emails in Gmail is just very useful for me now!ReplyDelete
i has looking for so looong after the gmail options for blocking mails, never thought of looking into filters..ReplyDelete
thanks for this post, i've learned lots of things from your blog
Amazing tip. It does get too annoying at times to be reading unwanted emails from unknown users. Not only does it burn a lot of time to go through all those spam but it is also stressful to waste time on it.ReplyDelete
Very unproductive to say the least.
Great! I really need this, I've been receiving a lot of messages lately that I haven't subscribed which annoys me.ReplyDelete
I keep on getting unwanted emails after somebody has started using my email address to advertise porn. Is there any phone number that I can call to report this? And even better, is what this "porn seller" is doing illegal in the United States? If so can I then call the police?ReplyDelete
I have a folder in my email which filters all the unwanted emails that are sent to me. :) And I must say, this feature of email is really cool.ReplyDelete
I have the same sort of trouble, except I keep getting unwanted e-mails about 1) Viagra 2) penis enlargement. Well for 1) I don't need Viagra and 2) I have no mental or physical problem about the size of my manhood. I've tired to stop these my self but get nowhere. Most of these type of unwanted e-mails come from Canada, and they tend to use female names as senders. So when I get these type of e-mails now I delete them straight away, although this is time consuming and a pain in the backside.ReplyDelete
Great post!!. Blocking unwanted email address is a great way to keep down spam.ReplyDelete
Great post really very useful Information.ReplyDelete
Thanks @SAIF MOBHANI
If I block the person then it won't send back to the sender. If there a trick, tip, to send a unwanted email back to sender and block the same time.ReplyDelete

Please remove this atrocious new magic from the game as it takes the fun and creativity and whole purpose of the Wizard101 game out of the equation from the door. Shadow Magic is runing the arena worse than immunity and this issue needs addressed ASAP. This is an important issue that needs fixed. There is no strategy with Shadow Magic if you can't make the person fizzle or stun them. Please fix the arena, this is way out of hand. Thank you.
TheRealBlaze on Mar 15, 2014 wrote:Now everyone that's ice or life complain because their resist gets pushed off the brink. You guys got your OP time, I'd say it's pretty fair in the moment in being. Fire Wizards/Storm always got pushed around with 101 resist to their schools, 103 at least for fire and 105 to storm. KI balanced it out really good here. 50 pierce still at times doesn't work; we need infallible, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say regular infallible 15% pierce. (105 - 50 - 15 = 40 resist. Still, pierce blade= 31) Still good resist, and shadow shrike shouldn't still be up.
Aaron SpellThief on Mar 15, 2014 wrote:The thing about resist is, it has always been counterable. Converts, infallible, armor pierce enchants, and spears made it fairly easy to pierce through 100% resist if you were prepared. My fire, back when resist ruled the game, did this quite a bit. Now, however, resist is useless. 20% base pierce, 15% infallible, and shrike almost always nullify resist. Sure, occasionally the player will still have a small amount. With the ridiculous damage and critical, that won't matter. Kingsisle had the scale tipped toward defense, I agree. However, now the scale is tipped in the opposite direction, and in my opinion, max level pvp is even worse than before. Even grandmasters are affected by shadow spells..my grandmaster balance has battled many shrike users. Shrike takes away one of the only 2 advantages grandmasters have over the average max level, skill and resistance. (Skill only because if a grandmaster is paired with a level 95, they're going to be, on average, pretty low rank.)
Wolf Skullslinger on Mar 17, 2014 wrote:There were minuscule amounts of people that actually had immunity. With Shadow magic, a conservative storm (maybe 30 resist) has -20 resist (that's boosting 20%) WITHOUT gear pierce. Ice was never "OP" I was ice during that time. And you can't complain, if its anyone's "turn" its definitely not storm. Storm and fire got their OP time during the waterworks when they had about 10 less resist than ice (the resist school). Then ice became "OP" as people said. Now storm is back? It should have become one of the spirits..but that never seems to happen does it? So lets not talk about how fair it is to be OP now vs later.Wolf Skullslinger
Eric Stormbringer on Mar 17, 2014 wrote:A miniscule amount had immunity and a much larger amount had 80+% resist. As far as I know the "boost" that shows up is a glitch and does not actually increase your attack's power.
XxMoonMasteryxX on Mar 15, 2014 wrote:Yes, but you're only focusing on those two schools. Sure, shrike has made it better for fire and storm to handle ice wizards, but that's not the concern. There are other schools who are majorly affected because they don't even have half that resist(Death, Myth, Balance, Life, as well as other fire and storm wizards), so when you do your calculations, don't focus on only two schools, those are the minority. The real problem is that it's eliminating, for the most part, the other school's entire resist.Don't get me wrong though, I don't mind the shadow school at all. Just trying to better help explain the original poster's issue.
ViciousVenomousVix... on Mar 20, 2014 wrote:Sorry to the lot of you that think it's great, but it just simply is awful. I'm not sure how you can think Shadow Magic makes the game fun, becaused it kills the arena fun completely. Make it NO PvP Shadow Magic was a bust and an uncreative way to try to fix the arena, and it failed miserably. Please take your time with Part 2 of Khrysalis as Part 1 was rather lackluster and the other updates haven't been any better. I apprecaite the hard work and the thought put into this game, but things need to improve, as I'm not impressed at all. Please nerf Shadow Magic and make it no PVP as this spell does not belong in the arena. 50% pierce is entirely too much, it actually makes som players boost off you when you have less than 50% defense. It's horrible this Shadow Shrike spell. Remove this spell immediately or fix it, it's killing the arena horribly. Down with Shadow Magic. It's awful, no skill, auto-win. Please fix this Shadow Magic nonsense. Thank you.

Hey there, I'm arkath. Found this website by looking for walkthroughs for games such as these.
Registered so I could comment on Tlaero and Mortze's games pretty much.

Google and HP stopped selling the Chromebook 11 shortly after the affordable Chrome OS notebook hit the market, and Google and HP admitted the reason was that the charger overheating. If you own one, it's now time to send it back. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Tuesday posted an official recall notice for the laptop.
"Consumers should stop using this product unless otherwise instructed," the commission says on its site. "It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product." The site says that the Chromebook 11 was recalled "due to fire and burn hazards" and that the charger is prone to "overheat and melt." The product was manufactured in China and was sold in the United States from Google, HP, Best Buy and Amazon before from October through November, when it disappeared from store shelves.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that about 145,000 units are affected and says the charger model number is MU15-N1O52-AOOS; you should see that stamped on the face of the charger. If you aren't contacted directly, you can reach out to Google by calling 866-628-1371 between 5 a.m. Pacific and 7 p.m. Pacific, or by visiting the Chromebook page (http://www.chromebook.com) and clicking support.

If you are not sure of your parenting style, stop and watch your children and the habits they have learned. I never knew how much I said a certain word or phrase, until my 2 year old first started talking. You quickly assess and adjust your vocab when something pops out of their mouths that give you a double take and ask "what did she just say?". I am happy to report that there hasn't been anything coming out of my toddlers mouth that is rude, crude, or inappropriate for her age, or anybody else for that matter. I credit this small triumph to the fact that she is child number three and we have retrained ourselves with better words.
What I didn't anticipate was how she would take an everyday event, that has become a daily ritual, and turn it into something so ugly. That's right...U-G-L-Y! My daughter aquired a small panda bear from a friend and wanted to take her (i think it is a her, how do you check animals for that stuff?)home for a bath. Aaawwhhh, you might say? For a number of days after we got home with our new best friend, she asked repeatedly if Panda could have a bath with her. Of course I wasn't willing to give in to this idea. Unfortunately, I said 'no' too many times, and that is when she decided to take matters into her own little, 2 year old, hands. She decided to wash Panda in the toilet. I supose she was wanting to put Panda in the spin cycle, when she decided to flushed Panda down the toilet. I can't tell you how proud she was of herself!
She quickly reported the events as they took place, and as I ran to the bathroom and heard the sound of water filling the tank, I knew it was too late...for me and Panda. I won't fill you in on the event to follow, but I think the photo explaines it all.

Linkage was a "dream" given substance in the 1970s by a small group of committed and lay people which led to the development of a new and creative charity for young people with learning difficulties. Central to this development was Dave Sampson, who was able to take the dream and translate it into reality. The charity was set up on 14th January 1976.
As founding co-director, with Don MacKenzie, and subsequently managing director, Dave's immense drive, vision, entrepreneurial flair and dedication enabled Linkage to develop rapidly into an organisation serving not only local but national needs among learning disabled young people and their families.
Following a short-lived experiment with a workshop in Skegness, emphasis in the early years was on the development of a specialist FE college. An initial entry of four students in 1979 grew quickly, with numbers growing in excess of 200 spread over three different sites: Toynton All Saints near Spilsby which opened in 1979, Weelsby Hall in Grimsby (1982), and the then Sampson Campus in Lincoln which opened in 1999.
During the 1980s, a recognition of the needs of learning disabled people and their families for longer-term residential support – beyond college – led to the development by Linkage of a network of residential care homes. This was established under the leadership of Rex Richardson, who was also a Linkage founder member. The Sleight Centre was opened on the Weelsby Estate in 1986, with a network of care homes following from 1992 including Scremby Grange which was opened in 1994, accommodating a population of around 100 residents.
Under the guidance of the trustees and the chairmanship of George Bateman, the dream continued with plans from 2000 onwards to complement existing education and care services with a new range of employment services including the opening of Linkage Green, a flagship bowling green and café in Mablethorpe, and the opportunity for some students to move from residential care to independent living and paid work.
In 2005, the Weelsby campus saw the expansion of education services in Grimsby with the opening of the MacKenzie Building, which was given royal seal of approval by Princess Anne in 2007.
Linkage bought land in 2009/2010 at Boultham Park in Lincoln to create supporting living accommodation, and to develop an education centre, horticulture centre and a café/shop. The accommodation – 10 bungalows and six flats – was officially named Rookery Court and opened in 2012.
A new Chief Executive was appointed to lead Linkage in 2012. Ges Roulstone joined the charity.
2013: Linkage's partnership with the City of Lincoln Council was awarded £2.7 million in grant aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund Parks for People for the multi-million pound restoration of Boultham Park and the creation of the education centre, retail outlet and greenhouse.
A children and families worker was appointed to start working with younger clientele, initially based in Leicester.
2014: Work started on a new Linkage campus development at South Staffs College in July, while in August, Linkage signalled work on a new annexe to the MacKenzie Building at the Weelsby Campus in Grimsby to cater for physically disabled people with learning difficulties.
The Roundel Café in Skegness was officially opened.
Sampson House was demolished to make way for a modern housing development at Skellingthorpe Road in Lincoln, in association with the Waterloo Housing Group.
Keen to maximise the opportunities for a new Adult Skills service in Lincoln, Linkage leased a building in the Doddington Road area, at Checkpoint Court, and opened the service in 2014.
A new competition for schools was launched in 2015 – Linkage ArtBeat gave a new opportunity for art and photography students to win prizes for their creative work.
The keys to Sampson House in Lincoln were handed over in 2015 to the first resident, Philip Williams, by Waterloo.
2016 – Linkage's 40th anniversary year – began with a new chief executive. Valerie Waby succeeded Ges Roulstone who retired.

THE PARKS at The Fairgrounds
The Fairgrounds is proud to preserve its green space with 15 acres of well maintained parks and picnic areas. The 4 largest parks offer adjacent parking, water, and picnic facilities.

Josh Hayes (1) earned his fourth consecutive race win this season after taking the checkers in Race 1 at Barber.
Monster Energy Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes earned his first AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike class victory at Barber Motorsports Park after taking the checkers in Race 1. Hayes' teammate Josh Herrin put forth a valiant effort, keeping pace with the Mississippi native until the final laps of the contest. By the finish, Herrin was over five seconds behind in second-place followed by Yoshimura Suzuki's Blake Young in third. Team Amsoil's Geoff May came in just a fraction of a second off the podium in fourth and National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Roger Hayden rounded out the top five.
Hayes came off the start in first and remained out front for the entire race, earning his fourth consecutive SuperBike race win. Herrin, in his rookie SuperBike season, has shown considerable improvement over the first six rounds and was the only rider in the field to pressure Hayes for the win.
"I got to the point where I did a couple pretty good laps and I didn't get away from him," Hayes said of Herrin. "I could hear him right behind me. It probably took five or six laps before I started looking at his board, and once I realized it was just the two of us, I kind of relaxed a little bit. I figured my lines are pretty hard to pass around here and I knew grip wasn't that good."
Herrin added, "It was an awesome race. I was learning every lap. Every time I ride this bike I learn more and more. It's starting to be an amazing bike for me. At the beginning of the year, I don't want to say I struggled, but I wasn't where I am now. I put a lot of hard work in and my crew is trying to make this bike adapt to me."
SuperBike Race 1 podium with Josh Hayes (center) in first, Josh Herrin (left) in second and Blake Young (right) in third.
Young shot up from sixth to third at the opening, but was unable to make a dent in the gap formed by the two Yamaha riders out front, ending over 14 seconds off the lead. "It was pretty lonely. I ended up third place today, started sixth. I've obviously been struggling; I don't think I did any quicker laps in the race than I've gone all weekend long."
May rallied late in the race to close a gap on Young for podium position after fending off pressure from Hayden, but fell short of third by a slim margin of 0.893. Hayden was in the mix out front in the first laps, along with fellow Jordan Suzuki rider Ben Bostrom, but couldn't keep the pace to contend for a top-three finish. Bostrom crashed out early and didn't return to the race after starting from the front row, further frustrating the Suzuki rider's pursuit of his first podium of the year.
Foremost Insurance's Larry Pegram came in a comfortable sixth, followed by Team Hero's Danny Eslick in seventh and Young's teammate Chris Clark in eighth. Motorcycle-Superstore.com/Attack Performance's Steve Rapp broke the top ten, finishing in ninth-place.
Hayes retains the points lead ahead of Young by 31 points after Race 1. Herrin continues to hold steady in third as he tries to close the substantial gap between himself and Young. Hayden sits fourth, but is facing pressure from May just one point behind in fifth. Bostrom's early end dropped him from seventh overall to ninth.

When's the Best Time to Get a Pet?
If you're more than a few months pregnant or have a baby or a toddler, wait until your child is 3 or older before bringing a new dog or cat home. Adopting a pet is a big commitment of time and resources, and the added responsibility can be hard for new parents. You'll spend as much as three hours a day training and exercising a new puppy, and up to an hour with an older dog. Plus, there will be an adjustment period after you bring a new animal home. During this time, accidents will happen more often and trouble spots will be identified. Read more →

letters from a war
After another man's name
found your mouth, after
the bodies laid down
until they couldn't rise, after
I began to see men
as streets and mountains
and moving skies—I starved
just enough to stay
hungry. Not to kneel
before deep voices, reaching
for any word that didn't
force its way into my mouth. Why
is my body still empty
with another inside? I used to think
I'd go thirsty to see you
break like a highway's bones
under the winter snow. Maybe
mornings you forget braiding
thick bundles of hair over
old bruises. But I've forgiven
how your whispers sound
like regret. How a mother leaves
when the night is long. My belly brims
with someone, slight and soundless,
who I can't refuse. I know now
how briefly we are beautiful. How the first
death, for women, is our own.

The opening keynote speaker, David Weinberger, posited this morning that the shape of knowledge in today's web world is inherently "messy" – and that's a "good thing." Digitalization changes everything, and what made the real world hard, digital ordering makes easy, said Weinberger.
According to Weinberger, who is a philosopher as well as digerati, we are building a hugely messy web of linked metadata, and knowledge is now constituted by what's interesting to us, not to an unknown expert or rigid Aristotelian hierarchy of information. Now, user-generated metadata completely flips the role of an expert. It flips the basics from limits and experts and filters to a way of ordering that is inclusive and can handle an formerly overwhelming abundance of information. No longer is there a limit on how much information we can have, and no need to filter it on the way into a system, but only on the way out, and then by a random group of users whose tracking and tagging converge to form knowledge.
Weinberger said knowledge now is defined by:
What: What's interesting (to us)
How: By talking
Who: Everyone
Where: In global conversations
Why: Because we care
"Knowledge IS the conversation," Weinberger said, turning upside down the established frame of reference of most of the knowledge workers in the audience.
The provocative Q&A following Weinberger's remarks displayed the uneasiness of these highly organized info pros. Neil Infield asked, so where do we find or establish authority for information, what do we do now? Weinburger replied by saying that authority must be earned these days, rather than bestowed by institutions, citing newspapers as an example. He dodged another question about how tagging could enhance the information in structured databases (such as those we'll see in the exhibition this week), and acknowledged to another questioner that academic institutions would be undergoing an awkward transition period. Linda Stoddart, the head of the library at the United Nations asked what would become of libraries and librarians. By now Weinberger was visibly perspiring (perhaps it was just the hot stage lighting), but held to his points that libraries might not go away, but they would have to change, and that librarians who dispensed information would need to become human filters rather than keepers of knowledge.
David Weinberger also keynoted our Buying & Selling eContent conference last spring in Arizona. When I spoke with him before his remarks today, he admitted there "wasn't much new," but he did recast his remarks for an info pro audience instead of the publishers and content industry executives who heard him in Scottsdale. Rafat Ali of PaidContent.org podcast that keynote, and you can find it at http://www.paidcontent.org/pc/arch/2005_04_11.shtml. As he did today, Weinberger concluded then that the result of messy knowledge is shaking the authority of institutions, and information owners and users to the core. That was certainly the feeling that emanated from today's listeners.
For some excellent further thoughts and a counterpoint to Weinberger's theory of shaping knowledge and conferring authority by user-generated consensus, see Richard Poynter's blog summary of Steve Arnold's keynote at October's Internet Librarian International conference, also held here in London. Arnold was in the audience today, and said that Weinberger presented a "thought-provoking review of social indexing systems."
No matter how you react to what we heard this morning, it was food for thought, and challenges info pros and librarians to become human filters and participate in the conversation!

To see other Russell-inspired art, visit The Beekeeper's Gallery.
In the spring of 2009, as part of the online celebration called "Fifteen Weeks of Bees," Ms Mary Russell posted a series of fifteen blogs on her MySpace page telling how she had come to send her memoirs to one Laurie King. At the end, the fifteen episodes were arranged for printing into a booklet called "MyStory": here.
To mark the 2010 celebration—"Twenty Weeks of Buzz," which leads up to the April publication of The God of the Hive—we turned "MyStory" into an illuminated manuscript. In the end, all five submissions were so gorgeous that Laurie couldn't choose, and awarded a five-way tie. Congratulations and thank you to all the participants!
The contest is now over, but if you feel inspired, you can still submit your own. For instructions, details, and inspiration, download the PDF. Once you've illuminated Russell's words, you can either scan the pages and email them to Bees[at]LaurieRKing.com, or post them to PO Box 1152, Freedom, CA 95019.
The submitted MyStory illustrations are below. You can either enjoy them on the site as is, or download the PDF version, print them out, then follow the instructions for making your very own illuminated book!

Fun Sight Words includes the first 400 sight words from the Fry word lists. You can trace the sight word, spell the sight words and there is even a hide and seek with the sight words. There is also a unique customization option so you can choose only those sight words your child is working on.
Trace the sight word is a great introduction to the sight words. It helps children learn the correct spelling of each sight word by tracing the sight words with letter tiles. Spell the sight word lets your child practice the correct spelling of each sight word by dragging letter tiles into the correct blank spots. Find the sight word provides an opportunity to recognize and read sight words that are hiding among other sight words.
One of the great features of Fun Sight Words is that you can customize the words your child is learning. Through a menu, you can pick as many or as little of the first 400 Fry words your child is working on in school. It is a great feature for teachers to use in small groups to practice and review the words you are working on in class and for parents to reinforce what your child is learning in class. There are also 3 levels of play. Each level challenges your child by adding more letter tiles or words to choose from. A hint button has been added in case they get stuck.
Want to have some fun with sight words? Download your copy of Fun Sight Words today and let the fun begin!

KELOWNA - Thirty years ago on April 13, 1987 the internationally recognized community-based crime solving Crime Stoppers program was launched in Kelowna. Over a year later, on September 15, 1988 the program was expanded to encompass all of the Central Okanagan laying the groundwork to become the program it is today.
How tips are anonymously reported and information is shared from and with the public has evolved over the last three decades. Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers new website provides more crime prevention, crime solving and community awareness options for the visitor. We encourage you to explore www.crimestoppers.net.
Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers empowers citizens to fight back against crime without fear of reprisal. To date, the local program has received over 23,526 completely anonymous tips by phone, text or online web tip. The new mobile-friendly website offers quick access to Report an Anonymous Tip; view or share those who are Most Wanted; read Unsolved Crimes; review Missing Persons or Volunteer and Donate to the Crime Stoppers Society. On the Hot Rec's page, you can check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on a potential purchase to ensure it is legitimate.
Gerry Guiltenane, Crime Stoppers Coordinator says, "We're very pleased with how the new website has developed. It's more interactive and will enable the public to see what crimes are occurring in their community and share that information with others. The new features on our website will allow residents to report anonymously on unsolved crimes and wanted persons and contribute to help stop, solve and prevent crimes."
Provincially, Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers is recognized as a successful, award winning community-based crime solving program working in conjunction with the police, the media and the public to help make our communities safer places to live. Locally, Crime Stoppers is supported by two core partners: the Regional District of Central Okanagan and the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society. Weldon LeBlanc, 1st Vice President with the Society adds, "The new website is very refreshing and enables Crime Stoppers to get messaging out to our citizens so that they can contribute in keeping our homes and communities safe from crime".
We invite you to check-out www.crimestoppers.net and be inspired to help prevent and solve crimes within the Central Okanagan.

After 3 or 4 days to catch my breath from the Scandinavian countries, I was off to spend a week with my sister in London. We have been very close since we were little girls and have continued to try to spend some alone time together. We used to take a week off together and spend it at a spa, but this year we decided to go to London and see some plays. She flew in from Detroit and I flew in from Rome. (There is a very cheap flight on Ryan Air from Perugia, but the timing of it didn't work for us.)
We are like calaminity Janes when we travel alone. So the first thing that went wrong is that I was waiting in the wrong terminal. I learned how to take the Heathrow Express, and arrived to greet her before too long. My sister is not a technology obsessed person, so all of the information I tried to send her about our trip, like what we were doing, where we were staying, did not make it to her. When she came through London customs, they asked her "Where are you staying?" her reply "I don't know." "What are you going to do?" "I don't know. My siser arranged everything." The agent was exasperated with her. "You don't know where you are going or where you are going to stay?" "No." Then my sister brilliantly asked the agent, "Do you have an older sister?" The woman laugher, said she did and waved her through. Those of you who know Sarah, will particularly appreciate this story.
So we were off to our apartment that we rented through London Connections.http://www.londonconnection.com I have used this organization twice, and I highly recommend them. Very efficient, with great properties for vacation rentals. Our apartment was in the West End across from the Palace Theater. A perfect location for us. We saw 4 plays, 2 exhibits and 2 movies. Here is my take on them.
First up was Soundscapes which is shown at the National Gallery and runs from July through September 6, 2015. We bought our tickets online, which I would recommend.
Six musicians were chosen to participate in this show. Each musician was given free range of the collection at the National Gallery, which was huge. Once the musician selected their painting, they then composed music that they felt represented their response to the painting. The motto for the show is "Hear the painting, see the music." Each painting has its own room and there are multiple speakers in the toom, where the painting is displayed, that plays the newly composed music. Some of it was perplexing, some of it was moving all of it was interesting. We particularly enjoyed the music for the painting "Air on a Broken String" by Hans Holbein the Younger. The musician was Susan Philipsz from Glasgow...
We highly recommend this exhibit if you are in London during this time.
The next exhibit we saw was "Audrey Hepburn:Portraits of an Icon" This exhibit is at the National Portrait Gallery and runs from July to October 18th.
We both love Audrey Hepburn so we loved the show. If you're not a fan, you might not be as interested in this. It was fascinating to see the fashion and the times in one setting.
On to the plays. Our favorite was Book of Mormon, Prince of Wales Theater. It has been around for a long time, so probably many of you have seen it. It was funny, irreverent, with great music, singing and dancing. I guess the Mormons aren't too crazy about it. 4 stars, highly recommended.
Beautiful- The Carole King Musical...playing at the Aldwych Theater...starring Katie Brayben...also excellent...although we had ordered tickets on line, paid full price and these were the worst tickets we had. All of the other tickets we got in Leister Square for half price. I would never again get theater tickets in London ahead of time, unless there was a really compelling reason. We thought Katie did an excellent job as Carole Kind and we enjoyed the performance.
The Commitments at the Palace Theater...very fun evening. Great music...fun story. Final performance November 1st.
Beattles Let it Be at the Garrick theater. For us this was our least favorite play and we love the Beattles. Very low tech presentation, singing was okay not great. I would skip it.
We say the movie Amy, about Amy Winehouse, which we loved, very sad, but the music was fantastic. The we saw Mr. Holmes with Ian McKellen, which was so slow we could hardly stay awake.
The one restaurant we would recommend...
Galvin at Windows...top of the Park Hilton.http://www.galvinatwindows.com
Fantastic views...wonderful service and inventive and delicious food. Prices were excellent for the setting and type of food.
My sister had the cod
and I had the chicken.
Yes, that it popcorn mixed in with the regular corn. Unexpected as well as delicious.
On one of our trips walking around being lost, we came across the Apple store in Covent Gardens. The staircase is pure Steve Jobs..
London was a perfect "girls' week" place to visit. We felt safe the whole time, were never in need of a car and walked everywhere. The only drawback was that the city was very, very crowded with tourists. With the heat wave sweltering most of Europe, other people than us, had the idea that London would be a great place to be. Other than the crowds, we loved this city.
This concludes the London trip report. Safe travels wherever you may be.

When men were men and Beuys was Beuys. Documenta 12 enjoys the shade of D7.
It is not possible in my experience, however, to visit Kassel without feeling the overwhelming presence of an installation that returns to life this time every year, that of Joseph Beuys 7000 Eichen (7000 Oaks). Planting of the trees began at Documenta 7 in 1982 and continued for five years with support from the Dia Foundation, with the last of the 7000 planted at D8.
25 years on, the oaks are reaching a more graceful maturity than most of us. And hopefully, with the buds open and the leaves growing to fullness this month, Prince Joseph's grand gesture will be busy converting King Roger's carbon dioxide output back into fresh clean oxygen.
One of my favourite gifts for artist friends is to pass along a handful of acorns from these sacred oaks after a trip to Kassel. I've even been known to hop off the train to spend an hour collecting acorns before jumping on the next train when my travels take me through Kassel. This year I loaded up a shoe-box full from around the University and have been busy wrapping them up and posting them out. The notion of the artist's seed spreading across the globe even after death is terribly modernist, I know, but all credit to Prince Joseph for such a far-sighted effort.
Is modernity our antiquity? In this case, sadly yes. What is bare life? Prince Joseph's seed – the acorn – I believe. Was tun? Plant trees, King Roger, to repent for your sins!

Dear Sophie
I am heading to Documenta for the first time this year with a group of UK curators from the UK. I like the idea of collecting acorns , anything else we should take in?

I am not sure why spreading the acorns is Modernist, but it does not matter to me, I think the idea of the oak tress growing for 25 years and then sending acorns out to grow all over the world is a very pleasing idea.

What an interesting blog, introduced by a thought-provoking photo. The unusual wall painting of the dwellings is also a strangely modern interpretation. Something like this hieroglyphic view of a park by Swiss painter Paul Klee, http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8LT475.
The image can be seen at wahooart.com who can supply you with a canvas print of it.

5 Birthday Gift Alternatives
A couple of weeks ago I brought Laurel to a birthday party with a non-traditional gift request: to bring a new, wrapped book for a book swap. It was so fun to watch the girls open and chat about their books (and trade already-read titles). I thought this was such a lovely idea and decided to query on Facebook and Twitter about other non-traditional gift ideas for kids. The responses were wonderful (and rather Minimalist Parenting!) and I wanted to share them with you:
1. Book swaps...new or used. In addition to the aforementioned new book swap, via Facebook Mary shared her love of used book swaps for birthday parties: "Recycling books that aren't age appropriate, etc., is great for the kids as gifts and for parents too...If done for 2-3 year olds, it's the perfect age because kids aren't as aware and parents get new books to read to their kids."
2. Encouraging handmade. Laura shared via Facebook: "I've been to a party where both gifts and gift cards were handmade by the kids invited. It was very nice! A lot of fantasy and demonstration of affection."
3. Gifts for the animals. Via Twitter, @toddlersummer shared: "A friend hosted a party at the local zoo and asked for donations for the zoo. Kids saw it as 'gifts for the animals.' It was a great idea!"
4. Gifts for charities. The response regarding charity focused birthday parties was amazing! Here are some great ideas; if you go this route, bring your child into the process. They will be more invested (and have less trouble letting go of the idea of traditional presents) if they choose the charity:
- Elizabeth: "We have always asked for donations to Birthday Wishes and I will call them and see if there is anything specific they need for people who like to actually bring something. One year we did a juice box drive, another year we raised enough money to buy a vacuum that they needed."
- Kale: "A friend's very sweet animal loving daughter does her parties at the animal shelter. They help with the animals and I think they do donations of toys, etc."
- Melissa: "We did 'bring a gift for Toys For Tots' for Brendan's fifth birthday and it went well. Some people still brought a gift. Brendan thought it was fine and we went to donate the toys together."
- Elizabeth: "A friend of Kate's asked for dog/cat food donations to give to an animal shelter."
- Jenna: "We asked guests to bring books to donate to Boston Children's Hospital's Reach Out And Read Program. It was well received and we gave 267 new books to this wonderful program."
- Christine: "My son's friend asked that no gifts be brought but instead they took donations for a platoon of soldiers over in Iraq. As a thank you card we received a note from the soldiers thanking us for the items and how much they appreciated it."
- Heather: "[We've experienced] a slumber party where you bring a set of PJs and a book for the Pajama Project and a Christmas time birthday where the host asked for guests to adopt a child off our church's giving tree. It's a great way to show children service in action."
- Micaela: "We made the turn to donation parties and never looked back! We have taken Webkinz to the Mgh orth office, pet supplies to a shelter, Pokemon toys to child life @ hospital, etc. A few years ago we lost a dear friend to cancer. We now have one large family birthday party in the summer for all four kids at once and ask for donations to Jimmy Fund instead of gifts. It's a win-win because our family enjoys the walk together and we receive less toys that we really don't need!"
- Christine: "We help our boys choose a local non-profit to make donations to. So far we've picked the zoo, the no kill animal shelter, and an organization providing healthcare and a food pantry for underprivileged children and their families. We host a bday party at our home with games, cake, balloons and all that good stuff and ask all guests to bring an item the birthday boy can add to his donation (we include suggestions or wish list gifts from the organization). All guests happily comply! The kids do not miss presents at all, and feel SO proud to give back to our community and also inspire others to give back as well (children and adults!). Even a little can go a long way and I love teaching them at such a young age that it takes a village. The boys get to pick whatever they want for breakfast, lunch and dinner on their birthday, plus whatever kind of cake they'd like, and do get a few special gifts from mom, dad, grandparents and that totally satisfies them. It is a day when we focus on celebrating the amazing person they are, and not on the 'stuff' that clutters our lives. Our boys don't end up with toys they don't need, we've enabled our friends to come together to support a worthwhile cause, our boys learn that quality of life is not about material things, and we all come our winners. Can you tell I love this tradition?"
5. Simply no gifts. Finally, some parents simply request no gifts. And they have discovered wonderful results:
- Jackie: "I once did a no gifts party for my son when he was in kindergarten because he wanted a party so much but the gift thing would overwhelm him (he has autism). So I asked the parents if they could please skip it. What I didn't expect were so many handmade, heartfelt cards made by the kids that meant more to my son than any gift ever could. It was a great birthday."
- Katie: "We always specify "no gifts" on birthday invites. And most parties we attend say "no gifts." While a few kids bring something, most just bring a handmade card or a simple handmade gift because it signals to the parents that we don't want any more "stuff." For my 4yo daughter's party this spring, one of her friends brought flower seedlings that she had planted the week before! And my kids don't care. We've explained that in our family, birthday gifts come from family only and parties with friends are to celebrate and have a good time together but aren't about gifts."
Aren't these ideas wonderful? If you have other great ideas for birthday gift alternatives, feel free to share in the comments below!

#16 in search for Seth Clearwater
Ava Black, the human side of the Black family. She has an overprotective older brother who would do just about anything to protect her, whether it's from boys or sneaky vampire enemies.
But Jacob Black isn't the only werewolf in town who would do anything for her. Seth Clearwater, the best friend of Ava Black would do anything for his bestfriend, but he becomes more protective once he finally imprints.
Two happy teenagers who are in love. What's so bad about that? Usually in a normal world nothing, but in their world being happy doesn't come easy.
_BaD_Ass_Bitch_ Apr 12, 2017
Eeeeeeeeek!!!!! This is soooooo cute!!!!! Ask her out already, Seth!!!!!
Kai_tlynnn Aug 16, 2017
Wait has he already imprinted on her? Or does that happen later cause they somehow haven't made eye contact?
katerinezulko Aug 04, 2016
You can tell from how she knew what Seth smelled like that she is so crushing
CallingTheWild 6 days ago
Is he a werewolf yet??? If he is didn't he imprint already??

Women's Health
At Shannon, we are committed to providing the best comprehensive care possible to all of our patients—especially women! The women in our community fill a diverse set of roles: professional, caregiver, mother, daughter, friend, wife, leader and student—just to name a few! We are proud to support women by offering the only hospital dedicated to women and children and a women-only fitness center.
Shannon provides a diverse, all-encompassing range of specialized health care resources and services for women of all ages, including childbirth and gynecological health, heart health, cancer care, and prevention and wellness.
Preventive care
At Shannon Clinic, your obstetrics and gynecology physicians are the answer to staying healthy for life. Women need dedicated, caring physicians to ensure that their preventive health care needs are met in a timely manner. There is no better option for the care of women than their own gynecologist/obstetrician who specializes specifically in women's health care.
The Shannon clinic OB/GYN physicians are able to treat diseases, test for problems and counsel women about their options of treatment or prevention. To facilitate this, there is a dedicated Women and Children's clinic that has a full service laboratory and billing office if you have questions or need help with your billing. Our waiting room is comfortable and spacious.
- Vaccinations are available to help you stay healthy and prevent the flu, pneumonia and other diseases.
- Shannon Clinic also offers a women's imaging center for your convenience so that mammograms can be done in privacy and comfort. Other studies may also be scheduled there.
- In the clinic we make sure that your Pap smear is done to detect cancer or precancerous problems on the cervix. If these problems are found early, they are more treatable and have a better outcome. We offer the latest thin-prep Pap smear as well as the standard Pap.
- Screening for sexually transmitted diseases is offered. Many women have no symptoms with these and only preventive screening will discover them. STDs can cause infertility, pain and other problems, so finding them early and treating them can prevent these problems.
- We screen for heart disease by checking your cholesterol, blood pressure and other testing that may be indicated.
- We also counsel women about living a healthier lifestyle including exercise, eating well, smoking cessation and other issues. We can prescribe medications for this and for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.
- PMS, menopause and depression are also well understood by our gynecologists who specialize in women's health care.

The current property owner is responsible for ensuring the necessary permits are obtained from a private building certifier prior to the commencement of any building work on a property.
Note: The definition of building work under the Building Act 1975 includes any excavation and filling work associated with the construction of a building or structure.
Sheds, carports and pergolas require development approval from a private building certifier when any of the following occur:
All garden sheds are to be located a minimum of 6 metres from any road boundary (i.e. front fence line). A roof water drainage system may need to be installed.
All garages and carports, whether attached to a house or free standing, will need development approval from a private building certifier.
A pergola must remain unroofed or covered in shade cloth only. If an existing pergola is proposed to be roofed or attached to any other structure, development approval from a private building certifier must be obtained.
The following types of retaining walls require building approval from a private building certifier:
Design and siting relaxation approval is required from council where the retaining wall is greater than two (2) metres above natural ground level and is to be located either within 1.5 metres of a side or rear boundary or within six (6) metres of a road boundary.
Water saving targets set by the State Government, apply to the construction of new houses in South East Queensland.
Some properties are subject to town planning development conditions in relation to rainwater tanks. A private building certifier will advise on whether these conditions apply at the time of making an application for a building permit.
For examples of other structures not listed which may or may not require approval see the Building approval requirements fact sheet.
Downpipes installed to a structure must not cause a nuisance to adjoining properties. See the fact sheet for Stormwater for domestic buildings.
If constructing or rebuilding a driveway, check if approval is required. See the Driveway construction & property access page for more information.
Residents seeking to carry out construction works, store materials or undertake drainage/vegetation beyond the bound of their property, on council land are required to submit an application to council for assessment prior to carrying out works.
Council land includes parks, road reserves and the bounds outside your property including in median strips.
Submitting an application helps to ensure pedestrian and utility services are uninterrupted and there are no planned council works associated for the area.
A submission can be made by filling out the Permission to carry out work on a road reserve or council owned land application [PDF 120KB] form.
Residents may place a shipping container on a property for up to 30 days. During this time the shipping container is required to be placed within the property boundary.
The placement of shipping containers on a footpath requires additional approval [PDF 110KB].
If a shipping container remains on a property for more than 30 days it will require building approval from a private building certifier, including amenity and aesthetics approval, except where the subject building or structure is used in conjunction with the construction of a new dwelling on the same property, in which case a period of time exceeding 90 days.
Approval will not be generally supported for such a building to be located on a property in General Residential Zones.
Council may give consideration to the use of temporary homes / accommodation (i.e. caravan, shed, etc) during the construction of a dwelling on that land, for a maximum duration of six (6) months.
Applications will only be considered on properties 3000m2 or greater.
Approval for a temporary homes/accommodation permit will not be granted prior to the issue of a Development Permit (Building Approval) for the construction of the permanent dwelling on the property.
Temporary accommodation pack
Generally, all structures that require a building permit to be built also require a building permit for demolition or removal from site.
Consult a private building certifier for further information.
Council, as a referral agency, provides this advice under S.56(1) (a) of the Planning Act 2016.
Council advises that it has no requirements for referral applications under Schedule 9, Part 3, Division 2, Table 7 of the Planning Regulation 2016, for dwellings being removed from a property and relocated outside of the Moreton Bay Regional Council area, and for buildings being demolished within the Moreton Bay Regional Council area.
This advice is taken to be preliminary application advice under s.57 of the Act, which allows referrals to be made before a development application is made to an assessment manager (ie a private building certifier).
This advice is to remain current whilst the abovementioned Act and Regulation provisions are in place.
Please note however; a referral agency response and security (a bond) is required when locating a removal building on a site within Moreton Bay Region. Please refer to Amenity & Aesthetics - Impact of Proposed Building Work Policy 2150-076 and Security for Building Work Policy 14-2150-077 in these instances

By Keith Idec
Paul Williams knows what his critics are saying about him.
They think that are suffering a devastating one-punch, second-round knockout defeat to Sergio Martinez and performing poorly against Erislandy Lara in back-to-back bouts that Williams' days as an elite-level prizefighter are over. The former WBO welterweight and junior middleweight champion cannot wait to start trying to prove them wrong when he faces Japan's Nobuhiro Ishida (24-6-2, 9 KOs) in a 12-round junior middleweight match Feb. 18 in Corpus Christi, Texas.
"I appreciate Showtime giving me the opportunity to get up on their network and to go out there and prove myself again," Williams said. "To everybody that's doubting me, I love that because that's just more motivation. And come Feb. 18, I'm going to go out there and put on a helluva show for my fans. And people who are not my fans will have something to talk about and be like, 'Yo, this kid is something to reckon with.' "
The 30-year-old Williams was a mainstay on pound-for-pound lists before Martinez knocked the tall southpaw unconscious nearly 15 months ago in Atlantic City. The Aiken, S.C., resident's maligned majority decision win against Lara 7½ months later in Atlantic City also hurt Williams' reputation because the consensus among fight fans and media was that Lara clearly won their 12-round fight.
"Of course I'm going to show my fans that I'm not done," Williams said. "But they're always going to write you off and stuff. Out of 40-something fights, I only lost two. … Of course people are always going to say you're through and this and that. But the bottom line is as long as me and [trainer] Mr. [George] Peterson know we're good, I feel real good and I'm going to go in there and perform."
Dan Goossen, Williams' promoter, also warned those that seem certain Williams won't regain his status to not get ahead of themselves.
"Miguel Cotto has recently announced that he's going to fight Floyd Mayweather," Goossen said. "I can remember sometime early last year where everyone was kind of saying Cotto was through. And it was amazing, because I'm sitting there, and this was before [Cotto's] fight in New York [against Antonio Margarito on Dec. 3], and they had virtually counted him out. And I said, 'It's really a shame. Two losses and in our sport, media, the experts all start saying a fighter's through.' Cotto, as we know, the two guys that he lost two is [Manny] Pacquiao and Margarito. Obviously, he showed something different, that he wasn't through. And I got that same impression after the [Williams]-Lara fight.
"I heard announcers going into the broadcast, halfway through, and then in the corners saying, 'Is Paul going to retire?' But I didn't see a fighter that was through with Lara or Martinez. I see a fighter that's ready to go out there and prove himself [to] these naysayers that believe that he's through. He's a three-division fighter, like Cotto was. He's got two losses, came back to avenge one of them. Actually, he beat Sergio the first time. But with [Carlos] Quintana he came back and avenged it, very similar to what Cotto did to Margarito. Since the Sharmba Mitchell fight, he's fought fighters with a 92.3 percent average of wins, 325 wins and only 27 losses. Ten of those losses were [from] Verno Phillips. So the triple-threat show we have Feb. 18 is again to go out there and let Paul Williams show you again why he was the most feared fighter in the world and [why] we believe he is going to become the most feared fighter again in the world, when people see him again on Feb. 18."

No, but some may choose to do so anyway (and some lawyers think if they don't, their policies could be challenged as indirect sex discrimination). It is important for both parents to check what contractual rights they have to pay while on Shared Parental Leave before making any decisions. If you get full pay for some of your maternity leave, you need to be aware that if you switch to Shared Parental Leave, you could lose out financially.
In an encouraging number of workplaces where unions are recognised, negotiated agreements have been reached on shared parental pay at a level that exceeds the basic statutory minimum, which is just £145.18 per week (from April 2018) or 90% of average weekly earnings if less.
For more information, see the results of the TUC 2016 Equality Audit. For information on how to join a union and on organising union recognition where you work, browse our Union Finder tool.
