If you have a big family, then you are probably aware of all the difficulties and issues that come with all the kids, and the pets, and probably the accompanying literal baggage. You will know that certain seemingly innocuous events will require endless planning, and that you can never know exactly what course a day will go. You will understand the strange ability of children to get various body parts stuck in strange inaccessible holes or belongings (head through the fence posts, anyone?!), and that food that were liked the week before are probably hated this week. You will know all your times tables off by heart, and keep a spare lead in the car for when you forget the normal one.
As the consequent powerhouse of information and multitasking, therefore, it is bound to be incredibly annoying if you can't find a car that is able to keep up with you Autel MaxiPRO MP808TS. All too many of the seemingly practical cars out there forget to add storage or other assumed obvious additions, whilst others look great in theory but drive somewhat like a tank. I also find that what looks like a great and practical car will be incredibly annoying and irritating as soon as you get it home to actually use it in the real world.
In situations like this I always advise people to try a car like a Dodge Journey. It may not be the sexiest car on the market, but it is one of the few that actually knows the sort of things you and your family will need. Also, they are cheap, which we all know is a really important factor when you are considering family finances - and with all the costs a kid puts on your wallet, any savings are always going to be welcome. They are even cheaper, of course, if you buy from a used Dodge dealer rather than new - the kids are just going to make a mess of it anyway so buying new doesn't really make any sense when you think about it!
I always recommend the Journey for a number of things. The flexibility of the seats is probably the biggest pull, as being able to rotate the seats and set up a little table is perfect for keeping the passengers entertained, rather than sat in restrictive and rather boring rows. This also makes room for the dog; although there is plentiful boot space if you would rather the canine friends went back there. The little features like the drinks cooler also make a difference Autel Maxisys MS908CV, as life's little luxuries can really help to take the pressure off on a long drive.
Of course, you don't want to just take my word for it. What you really need to do is have a look around one at a local dealership, and see how it drives. Don't just test drive it yourself - ask the dealer to let you put the kids in the back so that you can feel if there is any drag that you wouldn't have otherwise noticed!

Green Bananas
About two weeks ago we came sailing to the British Virgin Islands, to relax, play, enjoy being together, brainstorm InspireMeToday.com, and to give me time to percolate some ideas I've had, including writing a new book.
Well, you know me, and know that I believe a lot of things in life are metaphors for your life. After this sailing trip, I think life is a lot like bananas. Let me explain. On our first day here, the 28th of July, I provisioned the boat from Bobby's, the local grocery store in downtown Road Town, Tortola. I bought a stalk of bananas as I love to eat them for breakfast each morning. All of the bananas in the store were bright green, so I purchased what they had- green bananas.
I think I now understand why bananas must be picked this green to arrive to our stores in the US and still be just a little bit green when we purchase them thousands of miles away. But, I've never seen bananas this green. It's been more then 10 days now and these bananas are still like rocks. I've been a really good babysitter- each day I take them in from the afternoon rain showers, and then bring them back out into the sun when I'm sure the squall has passed. I thought they liked the sun! It can turn my skin dark in a day but it can't change a banana in 10 days? No matter what I do, they have no intention of turning yellow, or at least not in my lifetime. I think watching grass grow would be more exciting than watching these bananas get ripe.
I've had all kinds of ideas on how to make a green banana ripe, as I want to eat these NOW! Actually, I've wanted to eat them for the past week. But no, they still sit here rock hard and bright green. Some days I wonder if they're really bananas, and not the plastic fruit from some tacky fruit bowl centerpiece. I even had the idea of nuking them in the microwave to ripen them- if I had a microwave on the boat, which I don't. Putting them in a brown bag doesn't seem to work either. I'm almost out of ideas.
How often do you have an idea, a project or a plan that you want to implement NOW but no matter what you do, things just don't line up for you? Green bananas. There's something to be said for all things in perfect timing. You just can't fight Nature. Bananas will ripen when they're ready, just as my idea will ripen when it too is ready. Sometimes I get impatient and too hard on myself. It's the simple experiences in life that gently teach me that I'm not always in control, no matter how real the illusion looks to me. Sometimes I do have to be patient whether I like it or not.
When you look at Nature, in my experience, the fruit is at its sweetest point and always falls from the tree when it's ripe. But yet many times, metaphorically, we go get a really big ladder, drag it to the tree, precariously perch our rickety ladder against a limb and climb out hoping that the fruit will be ripe. Worse yet, sometimes we pick it when it's still sour, hard or in the case of my bananas, green. Life is so much easier when we allow it to unfold without our trying to force things or make them ripe before their time.
So, I'll put my stalk of bananas in the sun, go make a rum punch, and enjoy the breeze under a palm tree on the beach. The bananas will get ripe when they choose to do so. And in the meantime I'm going to relax and know that all things are unfolding and happening in my life with the exact perfect timing. I'll leave the bananas as a present for the next person who charters the boat, and perhaps I'll leave some of the stress I brought along with me here too.
Note: (written with a smile) I wrote the above blog on August 8th. Yesterday morning, August 9th, as we're packing to leave the boat, I noticed a bright yellow banana that actually had some brown spots, just hanging out with the rest of the green ones. It was as if the banana was saying, "Now, aren't you glad you waited?". The last thing I did as I left the boat was eat that banana. I think I enjoyed it more than I ever have any banana before. I guess some things are worth waiting for. Yum!

Buttermilk Pie
Buttermilk pie first popped up on my radar a little over a year ago. I read about it on a few different websites and, honestly, was a little perplexed by it. I wondered if a pie that was flavored primarily by buttermilk could be all that great to eat. Sure, I love to bake with buttermilk; I love the moist, subtle tang it gives to baked goods. However, a pie wholly flavored (well, mostly flavored) by buttermilk? That was a different beast altogether. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it until I saw that the top of the custard pie is sprinkled with sugar so that it develops a burnt, crackly crust like creme brûlée. I can't ever say no to creme brûlée, so I determined that it was essential for me to try buttermilk pie.
From what I've read, buttermilk pie is a Southern food tradition in the U.S., but it originated in the United Kingdom. It's similar to chess pie, but does not include cornmeal, which is an essential component to chess pie. Buttermilk pie is made by simply whisking together a custard filling of sugar, cornstarch, eggs, buttermilk, cream, melted butter and some vanilla for flavor. It's poured into a pie crust and baked, with a higher temperature at the end to caramelize the sugar topping.
The resulting pie, after cooling and left to chill in the refrigerator, has a firm, custard-like consistency with a smooth, tangy flavor. Suffice it to say, if you love including buttermilk in your baked goods, you'll absolutely love this pie! That caramelized topping will certainly garner bonus points if you're a creme brûlée fan as well. I really enjoy discovering new-to-me regional recipes and making them come to life in my own kitchen.

Buttermilk Pie
Buttermilk Pie boasts a creamy, custard-like filling with a slight tang from buttermilk and a crackly sugar crust.
For the Pie Crust:
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces and chilled
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
For the Filling:
- ¾ + 2 teaspoons cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 5 egg yolks
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Make the Pie Crust: Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the chilled shortening and pulse until coarsely ground (about 5 to 6 pulses). Add the chilled butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about 10 pulses). Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons ice water over the flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, stir the mixture until dough forms. If dough remains crumbly, add remaining 1 tablespoon water. Form the dough into a 4-inch disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Let the chilled dough stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to a pie plate and fold any overhanging dough underneath itself so the edge of the dough is flush with the outer edge of the pie plate. Crimp edges as desired. Refrigerate the dough-lined pie plate for 40 minutes, then place in the freezer for 20 minutes. While the crust is in the freezer, adjust the oven racks to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line the chilled pie plate with two pieces of parchment paper, allowing the parchment edges to hang over the edges of the pie crust. Fill the lined pie crust with pie weights, place on a lined baking sheet and bake on the lower-middle oven rack until lightly golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and pie weights, rotate the baking sheet and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown, 5 to 7 more minutes. Brush the surface of the hot crust with the egg white and bake for an additional 1 minute.
- Make the Pie Filling: While the crust is baking, prepare the pie filling. In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup of the sugar, the cornstarch and salt. Add the eggs and egg yolks and whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the buttermilk, heavy cream, melted butter, white vinegar and vanilla extract, and whisk until completely combined.
- Once the crust is done, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. If the pie filling has been sitting for a few minutes, give it a short whisk to recombine, then transfer to a 4-cup measuring cup (or other large bowl/cup with a spout). Leaving the pie crust in the oven (just slide the oven rack out a bit), carefully pour the filling into the hot pie shell. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Again, leaving the pie crust in the oven and just sliding the oven rack out, sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar evenly over the top of the pie. Continue to bake until the center jiggles very slightly when the pie is shaken, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Once the oven comes to temperature, place the pie on the upper-middle rack and bake until the top is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place the pie plate on a wire rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.

from our home to yours, 'how to make meyer lemon and rosemary marmalade'.
10 lemons, 3 cups sugar, 3 sprigs rosemary (stemmed and chopped)
slice ends off lemons just enough to reveal the flesh, then cut in half length wise. make a small V cut through the center of the lemon to remove the core and the seeds. lay lemon cut side down on board. with sharp knife, slice into thin half moons. repeat this process for the batch of lemons and place in a non reactive pot. reserve any juice that is released while slicing the lemons and add to the pot with sliced lemons. cover lemons with sugar and simmer on medium heat for approximately 40 minutes or until lemons are tender and the liquid has turned into a viscous syrup. be careful not to over reduce the syrup as this will make the marmalade bitter and dense. remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. pour mixture into food processor along with stemmed chopped rosemary and pulse until lemon peel is coarsely chopped. pour warm mixture into a jar and refrigerate over night. your meyer lemon rosemary marmalade is now ready to spoon over everything from roasted duck, ham, biscuits, pancakes or even ice cream!

John McCain on Clyburn's Awful Attacks: When You Can't Win an Argument You Resort to Personal Attacks (Video)
John McCain was on FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace this morning. He responded to Rep. James Clyburn's awful attacks this week accusing Republicans of being racist because they questioned Susan Rice's abilities. This came after Rice misled the American public on the 9-11 Benghazi terrorist attacks.
"I've noticed in this town, if they can't win an argument on the merits then, of course, they resort to those kind of personal attacks."
Republicans are finally starting to hit back at the absurd accusation by Democrats that criticism of UN Ambassador Susan Rice is racist and sexist.

Clohessy admits O's need to take points off Pompey
PUBLISHED: 13:00 04 February 2016
07958 573219 email@example.com
Full back believes they need to go on a strong run like League Two leaders Northampton Town
Leyton Orient defender Sean Clohessy is confident they can get back on a positive run of form when they make the trip to Portsmouth this weekend.
Kevin Nolan's side will travel to Fratton Park aiming to take points off a direct rival in the battle for promotion.
They suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss at home to Cambridge United last weekend and now are keen to hit back.
It was only on Boxing Day when O's and Pompey produced a five-goal thriller at Brisbane Road, but Clohessy admits that feels like an age away.
Even if it was only six weeks ago, lots has changed at Orient since the previous clash.
"It feels like a long time ago that previous win, they went down to 10 men quite early and it changed the game," said vice-captain Clohessy.
"We all know they are a very good team and pass it well, they are organised and they have players that have played at a higher level.
"Portsmouth have a big budget and have brought a lot in, but when we played them at home I thought we matched them and as long as we do that again, we will have a chance."
Pompey impressed at Brisbane Road, but it was Orient who picked up the points and they'll be aiming to do the same again on Saturday to start a tough month positively.
The O's have made no secret about what they are aiming to achieve this season – they want promotion and Nolan believes it is possible.
It seems their chances of returning to League One at the first time of asking have been boosted after Monday.
Orient were busy on the final day of the January transfer window, signing Nicky Hunt on a permanent deal, extending Calaum Jahraldo-Martin's loan and bringing in another defender, Jerome Binnom-Williams, on loan from Premier League side Crystal Palace.
It gives the O's boss what he wanted – competition all over the pitch at Brisbane Road.
The arrival of Hunt will have Clohessy looking over his shoulder, but he welcomes the addition of the full back.
Orient's business in the transfer market has massively strengthened their chances of going up, but a lot could be decided this month.
Nolan takes his side to Portsmouth on Saturday, before hosting Northampton Town on February 13. They then travel to Notts County before Crawley Town visit Brisbane Road.
Orient can get positive results in each of those games and must target that now if they want promotion.
Clohessy added: "I think at the end of February, we'll have around two months left, and if you are not in and around it by then, you have to win almost every game you have left.
"We have 17 matches now and we need to take points off the teams around us. I think we need to make sure we go on a good run and win over half of those games.
"If you look at other sides, like Northampton, they are winning every week so we need to go on a run like that now."

I like this PathDaily thingy. My thoughts turned like came out from professionals.
Refer to that quote above, I know it is amazing to have parents as friends. Well I don't. But they have been caring enough while raising three of us. Recently I like to tell my Dad about my work and plans.
You might feel a little bit awkward. Because daughter tends to share with her Mom. But for me, I like sharing with Dad because he does not like to judge that quick. He understands I am an adult, he gives some advice though in the end he will let me taking decision.
I see them as guide. They taught me many many things and there comes a time where me, will have to do anything by myself. When I started to know which is right and wrong (for me). Not afraid of taking chances, not afraid of failing.
I am thanking them for things they have done. I want them to stay with me forever, if I could. So anytime I need guidance I will just look for them. But hard fact that all of us should accept, our parents won't be forever living with us. We can't just cry our hearts out when problems come so that they will comfort us, by telling "everything will be OK". Yes, that magic words make us feel safe because we have someone to lean on.
So what will you do when their time has come?
I chose to find a life partner. A guy who will stand by me, no matter what. He has to love me that hard until he is able to commit himself attached to me, one and only. He will hold my hand when I am down, help me to rise. A lover is not enough to me. I need a partner to spend my life with. A partner that will tell me "everything will be OK" and I will feel safe, just like when my parents told me.
In return? I will do the same, of course. If he could pamper me, I would do the same. If he love me right, surely we will fight for life.
Every girl is trying to find the perfect guy. Some of you maybe wanting him to do things that he did when he was chasing you. To me, you are demanding for something unreal.
Relationship has few stages. I know the most romantic and the most memorable is the moment when guys are chasing you to be their girls. Butterflies in our tummy, fast-beating hearts, blushing cheeks, texting all day long and so on. First stage.
As the time goes by, we will know each other further. Bad and good things happen. He might controls you to not do this. Squeeze your circle with other guys. He won't give you sweet surprises, and he also might looks careless and not prioritize you like he did when he met you for the first time. Everything will turn like a habit. And slowly, we will face boredom. We start to wonder, "Does he really love me?"
I have been there, trust me. With guy whom I am dating now, somemore! Before you wonder about his feeling towards you, try to ask yourself. Are you really in love with him? Have you lessen your own ego for him? What makes you want him to stay beside you? Have you treated him exactly like how you want him to treat you?
I believe girls want romantic guys. But despite of it, many things we need to look at. Most important is when you are down. Will he pull you up? Will he calm you when you are crying like a little girl? Does he listen to your complaints? Did he apologize after those fights?
I am looking a figure that makes me feel secure. This guy won't harm me. He won't betray me. He will protect me. I need someone to do silly things, ie.: acting like kids, do wild-crazy and spontaneous stuffs, and just laugh stupidly. Not forgetting he needs to be wise and mature as well. He has to follow me, what? I am a random person. I want my partner be like, "OK let's go!" if I asked him to go find ice cream at midnight.
Luckily now I am able to act silly yet mature towards him. :p
OK back to the stages. Do not get trapped with the first stage. When boredom comes, do not seek the excitement of this f**king stage with new guys. Well, unless you want to keep searching for your whole life. Searching for true love that you have been dreaming of. Someone who will do anything to keep you.
In fact, you need to change the mind. Your true love can not be found like a treasure. You need to create it with your partner, together. You don't hope people will do anything for you, if you don't do same thing for them. And don't get deceived by "falling in love" stage as how ideal relationship should be.
You will end up no where, but stuck in changing guy from one to another. Until you get older and you will run out of time. Time to make up your mind~
Anyway, I am not telling you it would be easy but make sure this person is worth it. Me also still learning. One little thing that I like about my first stage was he did ask me to be his companion (not girlfriend) in his life journey. I never shared that I am looking for same thing. Haha! It does sound better than "Would you be my girl" to me.
Life is never stop teaching, you know. Find your life companion and stay young forever!! 🙂

The information about VA loan rates presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about VA loan rates or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.
As a military veteran of course you want your future, especially once you are guaranteed housing. This makes many people as military veterans or veterans home loan or simply want a personal loan as a military veteran. Veterans affair loans can also be interpreted as - A Veterans Affairs Loan is a mortgage loan in the United States guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The loan may be issued by qualified VA loan allows veterans lenders. A VA funding fee of 0 to 3:15% of the loan amount is paid to the VA; this fee may also be financed quoted from Wikipedia. Many veterans who do not understand this. Function and use VA for their families when the veterans are not to be near their families. With a dropping VA loan rates, the veteran is expected to soon take their rights as payment for their services to defend the country. VA interest rates means that veterans could pay off is not too high from the previous rate, even for loans that are still active. Department of Veterans Affairs stated that they did not force the maximum amount of guarantee a veteran is eligible to borrow using a VA loan, but lending restrictions to guarantee the maximum that can be loaned. Loan maximum housing can be provided by Veterans Affairs that is collateral for a loan of more than $ 144,000 is 25 percent of the 2012 VA Limit.
Before you register to borrow a loan or applying for a loan to the VA home loan, you first understand VA loans or to complete some of the loans requirements.
If some of you have met the above requirements then you can easily make submissions to the VA loan.
For your reference about the latest news from the veteran, feel reluctant to go to the veterans affairs because you are a valuable asset to the country's independence. Do not be late until you get a veteran news because in every forum that provides news about the news would have to rise or fall of interest rates veteran loan, or even eliminated altogether.
This article's coverage of the information is as complete as it can be today. But you should always leave open the possibility that future research could uncover new facts.

I love that perfect kind of day. You know, the kind that produces giggling, pillow fights, eating cookie dough out of a mixing bowl. Snuzzling noses with my scruffy faced husband, and braiding my daughters hair just so it will be crimpy a few hours later. Sipping British tea all day, courtesy my friend Vicki... and slurping Root Beer floats after dinner. Coloring in princess coloring books, making fingerprint ink drawings, painting itty bitty toenails, and then sitting down to watch some more March Madness. Yes. Today was one of those perfect days, and guess what? It isn't over yet.
Feeling happy to be alive, loving my life, loving my family, knowing that tomorrow may not be this kind of perfect... and that's perfectly fine.

The second series of the world's most popular podcast, the Ricky Gervais Show, will be one of the world's first to charge for transmission.
The show celebrated 2.9 million downloads of the free first series earlier this month. The new series launches on February 28 and features The Office and Extras co-writers Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant: "Gleefully bursting the bubble inhabited by Karl Pilkington, a village idiot of global proportions," show representatives explained.
The second series will be available exclusively from Audible UK and the iTunes Music Store. It will consist of "at least" four half-hour shows, each costing 95p to download, or £3.75 for all four shows. All 12 episodes of Season 1 will be available for £2.75. The show is also available to AudibleListener subscribers.
The explosion of podcasting has caused some people involved to begin considering how to make money from the medium. It was only a question of time until someone would take the chance.
Many podcasters - both established broadcasters and well-known independents - will be watching to see what happens with Gervais' fee-based experiment.
Gervais accepts the move marks the first major transition from a free to a commercial podcast. Gervais joked that "he was a fool" to make the first series free.
"As with The Office and Extras, the podcasts have been attracting some high profile fans such as 'The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening, Christopher Guest from Spinal Tap, creator of 'Alias' and 'Lost' JJ Abrahams, and even Jonathan Ive, inventor of the iPod," Gervais said.
"I find it hard to imagine what these living legends must think when they hear the ramblings of that little bald-headed Manc, Karl Pilkington."


text: My brothers once bought some macarons home for me to try. I tried them but they were so sweet I couldn't tell which flavor I was eating. The macarons were like $1 each. I was like what...so expensive! My brothers asked if I know how to make them. After watching a few videos and different recipes, I made some macarons! I decided to make tiramisu since my brother loves my tiranisu cake. Coconut for my hubby and pistachio green tea for me. For tiramisu fillings, I used mascarpone cheese, butter, coffee liquor, coffee, sugar, and cocoa. For coconut and green tea macaron fillings, I used pistachio and lindt coconut white chocolate. The results, we were so addicted to these macarons we ate them for a whole week and then made some more for another week. And then when my sister came back to visit she requested for some and I made her a box to go.

NEWARK, Ohio – An Ohio man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool, authorities said.
Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, said that when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.
Kile Wygle, 28, was hospitalized for minor injuries. He was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers, police said. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.
Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.

Don't cache your passwords in your web browser(save your passwords)
Use the keyscrambler add-on in Firefox, to scramble your usernames/passwords when entering them on a site that requires authentication (keeps you from being hacked via a keylogger)
Back-up files as much as possible! (data is very important to end-users!)

Another note on the Ebay and Paypal fraud...
If you get an e-mail from ebay, dont open it, just go to Ebay.com. In most cases, buyers or sellers trying to contact you, along with issues with your account will be sent to you through Ebay.
Basically saying, if you get an E-mail saying "Question from Seller", go right to ebay.com, and check your messages.
It's Gumby's fault.
My 2c:
*Not all freeware is intrinsically bad - just make sure it's open source. If you're looking for something in particular, rather than searching "program freeware", try "program open source" or "program GPL"
*Microsoft Security Essentials is an antivirus suite provided absolutely free to Windows customers (hooray for antitrust laws!). They've a vast signature database that's updated several times daily. Link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...tials-download
*If you notice a forum you visit is NOT HTTPS (like this one), use a unique password dedicated to that forum only. If your credentials are intercepted (far easier than you'd think) and your passwords are the same across the Internet, you've just been royally pwned.

JM is Back in the PM on the KGB!
I am really trying to hold back the excitement on this one, as I am supposed to be neutral. But when really good things happen to really good people, It is hard to contain the joy.
SanDiegoRadio has been told in that Jim McInnes is returning to 101.5 KGB!
In an email I just received I am told Jim will be doing a Saturday shift from Noon to 6 PM AND will handle fill-in work!
KGB PD Shauna Moran tells SanDiegoRadio "We are happy to have Jim back home where he belongs!"
Congratulations Jim!!
Joe Nelson
Shauna, thank you for sending to me first!

Will his show be live or voicetracked? If it's live, what happens to his excellent jazz show on KSDS? I think JM is a legend of course, but if KGB is going to make him play the same tired 300 classic rock songs for six hours, what's the point? I would be way more excited about this if KGB would let him pick his own music.

KATAKRI 2015 - Information security audit tool for authorities
Katakri is an information security audit tool especially for governmental security authorities. It is aimed to be used when assessing the capability of the organisation to safeguard Classified Information. Typically such a need would arise when issuing a Facility Security Clearance (FSC) for a company.
Katakri itself does not pose any definite information security requirements. Instead, Katakri consists of minimum security requirements set either by Finnish national legislation and national regulations or by the EU Security Regulation 2013/488/EU. Additional requirements or standards are referred to in the text when these may have relevance to the audit case.

Press release
New animations show how the new Dartford Tunnel safety system will operate
New animations have been released today (Friday 27 March) by the Highways Agency showing how the new safety system will operate at the Dartford Crossing.
The videos show how the system that is due to be introduced on the northbound carriageway in May will identify and stop oversized vehicles or those carrying dangerous goods from entering the tunnels.
Dartford Crossing - New Northbound Road Layout
They also provide clear advice to drivers of these vehicles about getting in the correct lane in plenty of time which will help minimise the number of times vehicles need to be stopped and turned around.
The new system is an important part of speeding up journeys at the Crossing now that Dart Charge is in place and drivers no longer need to stop at barriers to pay.
Highways Agency Project Director Nigel Gray said:
Safety is a top priority for the Highways Agency. The old payment barriers used to provide us with a way to prevent oversized or dangerous goods vehicles from entering the Dartford tunnels but the introduction of Dart Charge required a new solution. This video shows how the new system will provide the protection needed while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Since it launched on 30 November last year, Dart Charge has already helped to speed up journeys by removing the need to stop at a barrier to pay the Dartford Crossing charge. But to get the most benefit from the changes, there needs to be a new way of identifying and managing oversized vehicles and dangerous loads before they enter the tunnel – a job until now that was carried out at the payment barriers.
Construction of the new system began in January. Traffic lights, barriers and electronic message signs will be used to safely stop and turn around any vehicle that is not approaching the tunnel in the correct lane, while keeping disruption to other traffic to a minimum.
The system has already been extensively tested at a disused airfield and further on road tests will take place before it is introduced in May.
Despite the improvements, turning back any vehicle will cause some delay. The Highways Agency is working with partners in the haulage industry to make sure the new road layout is widely understood and drivers of dangerous loads and oversize vehicles get into the right lane in good time. The restrictions are also signed on approach to the tunnels, and the Highways Agency has published guidance for these drivers, which is available online. A new leaflet has been produced to help drivers understand what they need to do and is available on GOV.UK.
Advice to drivers of tall vehicles
If you are driving a tall vehicle northbound, you need to ensure you get in the correct lane as soon as possible after junction 2. New signs now inform you which lane you must choose.
The northbound carriageway now divides just after the junction 1a exit slip road, with the two inside lanes (left-hand lanes) dedicated to the west tunnel (height restriction 4.8m) and two outside lanes (right-hand lanes) dedicated to the east tunnel (height restriction 5.0m). Vehicles joining at junction 1a can only access the two inside lanes and use the west tunnel.
Drivers who fail to use the correct lanes will be in violation of traffic regulations and could receive a fine or points on their driving licence. Advice to drivers carrying hazardous materials
When travelling northbound drivers of hazardous loads must continue to exit at junction 1a and follow signs to the vehicle marshalling area where they will be checked and escorted through the Crossing, if necessary. The safety system will identify, stop and turn around drivers who fail to do this and they could receive a fine or points on their driving licence

Kahn's beliefs also included a deep appreciation of racial equality, something Joe Eichler adamantly pursued in his company policy. "Joe Eichler was blunt and straightforward about his feelings on integration," asserted Catherine Munson, Eichler Homes' first female salesperson and long-time staffer. "Remember, Joe was a man of few words—so there were no 'pep rallies' at the staff meetings. It was clearly understood by everyone in the company that the integration policy was overt company policy." These grounds for mutual appreciation set the stage for Kahn's meeting with Eichler. In 1963, when Kahn captured the two boys on film, he and his family were living in Glen Ellen, north of Lucas Valley. According to Carolyn Caddes, a Palo Alto Eichler owner who, in the early 1970s, was befriended by both Joe Eichler and Albert Kahn, when Eichler saw Kahn's photograph for the first time "he told Kahn that he was overjoyed." "Mr. Kahn said to me," Caddes continued, "'I don't mean to be boasting, but how can I forget what [Eichler] said: 'That picture catches within [me] one form—it sums up—what I believe in and what I'm working for in life.'"
It should come as no surprise that a large, framed copy of Kahn's photograph became the centerpiece of Eichler's Palo Alto office, even taking precedence over his two autographed pictures taken alongside President John Kennedy and Vice-President Hubert Humphrey. In the mid-1960s, when Eichler moved company offices to San Francisco, and even years later to Burlingame, Kahn's image stayed close and prominent.
One Christmas, Eichler featured the photograph on the face of a holiday card, which he mailed to every congressman and senator. "You know, the only one who acknowledged," Eichler told Carolyn Caddes years later, "was Senator Eugene McCarthy's wife, and she sent me a very nice note."
While marketing the Geneva Terrace development in San Francisco during the early 1960s, Eichler emblazoned Kahn's photograph on billboards near his Visitacion Valley townhouse development, and even incorporated it in display ads in San Francisco's major newspapers. "Back then we were looking for a community that was forward-thinking, liberal, and integated," recalled Charlene Avery, whose family eventually bought one of the Terrace townhouses. "We loved Eichler's belief of integrated neighborhoods and wanted to show the world, and our parents, that it could work. A flyer with the two children was one of the selling tools that worked. It tugged at our hearts."
In December 1965, at the formal ceremony for the twin high-rise Geneva Towers project in San Francisco, both Hubert Humphrey and California Governor Edmund Brown participated. With a framed photograph of Kahn's image of the boys in hand, Eichler reached out to the vice president and, according to the program's transcripts, gestured: "May I hand you this picture, as I think it will be of particular interest to you as one of the early and foremost leaders in the battle for equal opportunity for all Americans."
"While I consider this building a great accomplishment," Eichler continued, " the spirit expressed in this picture means a great deal more to me since it is a most eloquent expression of the philosophy of my organization, Eichler Homes."
After much searching, we eventually uncovered a copy of Albert Kahn's distinguished photograph. Finding the final piece of the puzzle was most satisfying.

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Katie Riley recorded a hat trick to lead the Bowdoin College field hockey team to a 6-1 win over New Paltz State in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Tournament on Wednesday afternoon.
The sixth-ranked Polar Bears improve to 15-3 this season and advance to play in the second round of the tourney on Saturday against MIT at William Smith College in Geneva, N.Y. New Paltz finishes the finest season in school history with a record of 16-5.
After the Polar Bears sidestepped an early push by the Hawks, Bowdoin took control with a flurry of action. Rachel Kennedy got the hosts on the board by finishing off a scramble in front at 8:05. Bowdoin doubled its lead less than eight minutes later as Riley inserted a penalty corner to Kassey Matoin who placed it for a low, hard drive by Brooke Phinney at 15:38.
Bowdoin put the game out of reach with three goals in an 8:04 span later in the frame. Riley knocked home a loose ball at 21:03 before Cathleen Smith tapped in a shot from close range at 22:49. Riley capped the run by depositing a feed from Smith at 29:07 to give the Polar Bears a 5-0 edge.
New Paltz was able to get one back before intermission when Dani Ackerman redirected a shot in front at 32:03. But the Polar Bears would not permit another shot in the game as Riley rounded out her hat trick with a breakway goal at 49:15. The six goals were the most allowed by the Hawks this year.
Antonija Pjetri made nine saves in goal for New Paltz while neither Kayla Lessard (60:01) or Hannah Gartner (9:59) earned credit for a save in the victory for Bowdoin. The Polar Bears held a 18-2 edge in shots and 6-1 lead in penalty corners.
Bowdoin has won 32 consecutive home games dating back to 2009. The Polar Bears completed their third consecutive unbeaten season at home and are 15-1 in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games.
Information about the William Smith regional will be announced by the NCAA on Thursday.

Although William C. (d. 1815) and his wife Elizabeth (d. 1829) are mentioned on the west side of the stone, they are not believed to have been buried in this cemetery, but on their original homestead. The reverse side of the stone is for William's son John Hart Crenshaw (1797-1871) and his wife Sina (1799-1881). It's possible that this is the original stone for the parents that John may have had moved to the new family cemetery on Hickory Hill near his plantation home about two miles west of Equality, Illinois. The younger Crenshaw's home is what is now known as the "Old Slave House" the last station on the Reverse Underground Railroad still known to be standing.

Olympics blow out golden torch
The Olympics have now ended in Sochi, with an impressive closing ceremony — as expected. The show was a great success and crowned wonderful Games for Belarus, at which our athletes enjoyed some head-spinning victories. There's no doubt that the Sochi Olympics were unique and unpredictable.
By Dmitry Baranovsky
After around ten days of the competition, Belarus joined the top five most popular Google enquiries within the US, inspired by our five gold medals. Three of our athletes in 'red-and-green' stepped up to the top plinth of the podium.
Darya Domracheva
Medals were expected from our top Belarusian biathlete. However, even the most passionate optimists could hardly have imagined that Darya would do so brilliantly — especially after her disappointment in the sprint race, which opened the biathlon programme at the Laura Sports Complex. She failed even to come close to a medal, leading to doubts regarding her readiness. Of course, those concerns were dispelled over the coming days, when Ms. Domracheva claimed three gold medals (in the pursuit, individual race and mass start). Her rivals were truly 'knocked-out'; even her arch-competitor — Norwegian Tora Berger — couldn't match Darya's speed.
Day seven of the Games was our star hour: Darya captured gold and Nadezhda Skardino took bronze, in the individual race. After Darya's mass start gold, President Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree to award her the title Hero of Belarus, to which Ms. Domracheva commented that her success was no surprise for her, as she believed that her years of hard work would eventually pay off. She noted, "Over my career, I've had many races. Some were successful and others — not. Each time, I concentrated my efforts to become stronger and, as a result, joined the Sochi Olympics ready for any situation… and enjoyed these victories."
Darya may yet claim the Big Crystal Globe this season, as she is among the favourites, with no plans to slow down after her Sochi triumph.
Alla Tsuper
Bookmakers gave odds of 125-1 on Alla Tsuper's Sochi gold: only those with strong faith believed in the Belarusian's potential for success. Alla began her trampoline career long ago and was many times close to winning major competitions but, on each occasion, missed out. She attended the four previous Olympics without bringing home a medal, perhaps due to a lack of self-belief. Three years ago, Alla retired and chose to have a child, but was persuaded to return, leading to her unexpected but very welcome triumph in Sochi.
Around 18 months ago, the head coach of Belarus' national freestyle team, Nikolay Kozeko, suggested that Ms. Tsuper test her sporting luck for the last time and Alla agreed. It took less than a year to get back in shape, regaining her former strength and, importantly, she rebuilt her self-confidence. No great achievements were expected from her in Sochi, which enabled Alla to relax and jump as never before. The jump which brought Alla an Olympic gold had been performed only twice in her life (the first during a training session). Ms. Tsuper took a risk and created a true sporting sensation, knocking out her rivals Chinese Nina Li and Xu Mengtao and Australian Lydia Lassila.
"I'm very happy at becoming an Olympic champion," Alla gushed, breathless with joy after the final results were announced. "I've demonstrated my fighting spirit and strength, showing that I'm able to do anything. I've been lucky today. I wanted to win, as my tricks and jumps were complicated. I'm really happy. I don't think this will ever happen again so I'll finish my career now, on a high note."
Anton Kushnir
It took 22 years for Anton to claim his Olympic medal, despite being a hot favourite four years ago in Vancouver (when the Ukrainian sportsman joined our Belarusian team). Mr. Kushnir's ski acrobatics talent was well confirmed by his Big Crystal Globe (won during World Cup rounds) but he met failure, which prevented Anton from going through to the finals. He was on the edge of retiring, being without financial support. However, the Belarusian team leader was dissuaded by coach Nikolay Kozeko, who convinced Anton to continue training and taking part in competitions. Mr. Kozeko has been proven correct.
After the Vancouver Olympic champion, Alexey Grishin, fell down during the qualification stage, Mr. Kushnir became a contender to continue the Belarusian freestyle tradition: since 1998, we have never returned from a winter Games without an Olympic medal. He succeeded: his triple somersault with five pirouettes earned him the highest score in Olympic freestyle history and, logically, gold.
"The jump was wonderful and I've done my best," Mr. Kushnir said after the competition. "I tested out the jump during the 2009 World Championship, in Japan, and planned to perform something similar in Vancouver but failed. I corrected my mistakes but my injuries prevented me from achieving what I wanted. I'm happy with this victory — for myself and my country."
Our freestyle and biathlete medals shine out so brightly that the failures of our skiers and short track speed skaters are easier to bear. Experienced skier Sergey Dolidovich came close to success in the 50km individual race but, sadly, his efforts failed to bring a medal….

More long weekend fun for the family! Well, this fun will actually be lasting a lot longer than that. I'm sure you've heard about the coming of the Giant Pandas to Canada. These two gorgeous creatures, Er Shun and Da Mao, will spend the next 5 years at the Toronto Zoo, then will move on to the Calgary Zoo for the remaining 5 years of their 10 year stay. It is hoped that the pair will successfully mate and produce offspring during their time here. (Everyone goes home to China at the end of the 10 years.)
The pair have been settling in at the Toronto Zoo for the past few weeks, but they are now ready to meet their adoring fans. Tomorrow, May 18, the panda exhibit will open to the public. Today, I attended a media & members preview day to get a sneak peek. There was excitement in the air!

Before entering the animal area, visitors travel through the Panda Interpretive Centre, an 8,000 square foot environment with interpretive features designed by the architectural firm Reich+Petch that will offer a 10-30 minute educational experience year round. With a projected attendance of up to 10,000 visitors each day during peak periods, the centre was visioned with both traffic flow and educational entertainment in mind.
"Reich+Petch has been thrilled to lead the team working with the Toronto Zoo in the development and design of the Panda Education Centre," says Carolyn Smith, senior designer at Reich+Petch. "Within the Centre, visitors will be immersed in everything they need to know about this iconic, fascinating and endangered animal. Our combined aspiration is that the experience will inspire visitors to join in the conservation and efforts currently underway to help protect this and other endangered species."
Time for some Giant Panda fun facts!
1. A panda needs to consume a comparatively large amount of food – from 10 to 15 kilograms (22 to 33 pounds) of bamboo each day – to get all of its nutrients. It is thought that the giant panda will only consume the best bamboo and therefore the animal has very selective feeding behaviour (it will reject normally up to 85% of bamboo offered), and it will need to go through at least 50 kilograms of bamboo per day to find the best bamboo. This can take up to 16 hours of eating per day! The rest is spent mostly sleeping and resting.
2. Giant pandas do not hibernate because their food source, bamboo, is available year round and their diet does not permit them to build up enough fat to carry them through a hibernation period. However, they will shelter temporarily in hollow trees, rock crevices and caves during the winter.
3. Giant Pandas can eat 25 different types of bamboo, but they usually eat only four or five that grow in their home range.
4. If two cubs are born the mother will only look after one of them, so in captivity keepers will help raise any twin cubs using a method called "twin swapping". One baby is left with the mother and the keepers switch the twins every few days so each one gets care and milk directly from the mother.
5. Panda cubs are born blind and extremely immature, weighing only 80-200 grams, and are about the size of a stick of butter. They are pink in color, with short sparse white hair, and are 1/900th the size of their mother, one of the smallest newborn mammals relative to its mother's size.
6. Giant panda females are monoestrous, which means they have only one reproductive cycle per year and that is the only time the female is receptive to the male and that is only for a period of 24 to 72 hours. Calls and scent marking attract males and females to each other.
7. One cannot easily tell if a giant panda is a male or a female until it is four years old. Due to the difficulty of determining the sex of pandas it was believed that Er Shun was a male until genetic testing was done.
8. In the past the black and white markings on giant pandas may have helped them to blend into their snowy and rocky surroundings to avoid natural predators.
9. The Chinese call the giant pandas "Big Bear Cat." This is because their eyes have vertical slits like a cat's, not round pupils like a bear's.
10. Giant pandas can swim and climb trees.
11. The giant panda's teeth are approximately seven times bigger than a human's teeth, which helps the giant panda chew and eat bamboo.
12. Unique physical features that help giant pandas to hold, crush and eat bamboo are broad, flat molar teeth and an enlarged wrist bone that functions as an opposable thumb.
13. Following ancient Chinese tradition, giant panda cubs are not to be named until they have been alive for 100 days.
14. Given its large diet, giant pandas can defecate up to 40 times a day.
15. Giant pandas are ready to breed between four and eight years of age and may be reproductive until about age 20.
16. Under the giant panda's white fur, their skin is pale in colour and under the black fur, their skin is black!
If you will be in the Toronto area, the Toronto Zoo is always a great option for a family outing, but now the novelty of the Giant Pandas makes it even more so. The Zoo is open year-round, other than Christmas Day. Admission is $18 for children 3-12, $23 for seniors, and $28 for adults. Or, you can purchase an annual membership ($195 family), which pays for itself for a family of 4 after the second visit.

POKEMON Go fans can expect Gen 3 Pokemon to launch very soon, as Niantic drops another big hint.
Niantic CEO John Hanke recently told Taiwanese magazine Business Weekly what the game's next secret weapon will be new Pokemon.
"There is a lot of Pokemon that have not yet been launched," Hanke revealed (via Comicbook).
"So I think the next secret weapon will be launch of the next Pokemon generation. I hope the players will soon see them."
Fans have already discovered Gen 3 Pokemon in the game files, while a new update suggests that everything is in place for an imminent release.
In fact, the only thing missing are the sound files needed to replicate the new Pokemon.
Check out a selection of our favourite Gen 3 Pokemon in the gallery below…
A recent Pokemon Company statement suggested that spooky new gen 3 Pokemon would join the app at Halloween.
"The Halloween season is a special time in Pokemon Go," the post reads.
"Plenty of good stuff is coming to the game later this October, and we can't wait to get out and about to see what sort of excitement we can scare up while catching new Pokemon to fill out our Pokedex."
Gen 3 Ghost Types include Shuppet, Banette, Mega Banette, Duskull and Dusclops, which is a nice selection for a limited time Halloween event.
One Pokemon that definitely won't be joining the game is HO-OH.
A leaked Niantic email supposedly confirmed plans to add HO-OH to the game as part of an imminent Legendary Raid.
Unfortunately, the email wasn't actually sent out by Niantic, so you'll have to wait a little longer for HO-OH Raids.
That's according to a Niantic employee, who told Reddit users: "I reviewed our support ticketing system and I can confirm that our support team did not send this erroneous message."
It's been speculated that a new Legendary Raid will launch alongside Gen 3 Pokemon and the upcoming Halloween event.

Hello all!
I had a dream about a year and a half ago that I will never forget. For most of the dream I was terrified. I was staying with my dad while waiting for my new apartment to be available. While in the dream I had no idea I was dreaming. For the majority of the dream, I was just laying in the same bed I fell asleep in. It seemed like HOURS that I had been laying there unable to move. It came to a point that I knew that I was sleeping but that I was stuck. I was paralyzed and unable to nudge my partner who was still laying next to me. As I began to panic, thinking that I may indeed be really stuck. All of a sudden, I was in my childhood home in Hawaii (We now live in North Dakota ) with my father. I asked him if the same was happening to him (being stuck in a dream). He said yes and agreed that we would talk about it when we woke up. As soon as the agreement was made, I awoke startled and gasping for air. It was only 3 or 4 in the morning and I was terrified of going back to bed in fear of getting stuck again. Needless to say, my dad did not remember as, of course, he was not there.
Was this a lucid dream? Have you ever been stuck in a dream and unable to wake? Is there any way to prevent this if I attempt lucid dreaming? I only recently heard of this and began researching it as I find it very intriguing.

No, but I'd gladly take all of yours. Being unable to wake is reinforced dream stabilization.
Don't give up on your dreams! Keep sleeping...

After I stumbled upon a Pinterest picture of growing vegetables in bags of topsoil, I couldn't wait to try plastic bag gardening in my Northern Virginia plot.
Setting up a garden-in-a-bag couldn't be easier:
1. Buy a dozen bags of topsoil.
2. Place them in your ungroomed garden, on top of weeds.
3. Cut a few drainage slits in the bottom.
4. Cut out a rectangle hole in the top.
5. Plant seeds and/or seedlings in soil.
No hoeing, no weeding, no leavening the soil with peat moss. Just plant, water, grow.
And boy, did many of my vegetables grow. Radishes love the bag.
So do lettuce, zucchini, and peppers.
However, not all plants enjoy life in a bag. My tomatoes are leggy and embarrassed-looking; my basil is yellow with brown spots instead of lush green. I think bag drainage is limited, and tomatoes and basil hate standing around with wet feet.
The biggest problem, however, is aesthetic. No matter how much mulch I pour on, it always slides off, exposing the ugly plastic bags, which look like litter.
On the other hand, I haven't spent 20 minutes weeding in two months of growing. Which, it turns out, is a mixed blessing. Because without weeding, there's not much to do in a garden between planting and harvesting.
Occasionally I toss in a handful of compost, or water the bags with manure tea. Mostly I just inspect the plants each morning, like a general reviewing the troops, and wait for something to happen.
What do you think? Is the ugly side of gardening in bags worth the time saved weeding? What tips do you have for low-maintenance vegetable gardening?

10 step buyers guide
Like buying property anywhere in the world, purchasing an apartment or villa in Nice follows a straightforward chain of events. Over a million foreigners have bought real estate in France over the last decade, so it can't be that difficult, can it? Indeed, we have many testimonials from happy clients who have purchased property from Nice Pebbles over the past few years. Their experiences may make the process a little clearer for you.
These 10 steps should guide you to your apartment or villa for sale in Nice. In another area of the website, we've also aimed to dispel any myths about French property from 'our friend' too.
1) Familiarise yourself with the local property market. Our Nice property pages are updated almost daily with new apartments and villas currently for sale across Nice. Reading our area guides about Massena, the Old Town, Port, Musiciens, Carré d'Or, Mont Boron, Cimiez and Fabron – then clicking through to see the properties we have for sale in each zone – will give you an excellent idea of what's on offer and at what price.
2) Contact us. If you email, call or drop by in person we can discuss your exact needs. We find that personal contact really helps and our team of five sales staff are ready to answer your queries about any aspect of buying property in Nice. By subscribing to our Nice Property Twitter feed, we can also inform you about new apartments and villas in Nice, new transport routes, sales trends and local property news.
3) If you're considering financing your purchase with a mortgage, it might be time to read our French mortgage guide and contact our independent mortgage advisor, Peter Brooke. Rates in France are historically low at present. Learning what you can borrow now will make your Nice property search much clearer when you tour around our properties for sale in Nice.
4) Come and see us! As well as the beautiful apartments and villas currently listed on our website, we are also members of FNAIM's Multi Listings System, so we have access to over 80% of properties currently for sale in Nice. That's right, if you see a property for sale on another agency's website then tell us and we will arrange a viewing with them on your behalf. We routinely show around six perfect properties to our clients in a day's viewing. We can also answer any further questions about renovation and rental returns, as well as sharing the experiences of our clients who have purchased similar properties in Nice.
5) If you see the right property, it is time to make a non-binding offer to the vendor. We will discuss the offer with you, and then make it on your behalf. It is illegal in France for a vendor to refuse an asking price offer (except in the instance where a competing buyer is also offering the asking price, or more, simultaneously) so negotiating for a better deal is often on the cards.
6) With the price agreed, it's time to sign the Compromis de Vente. This is the initial sales document that is prepared by a Notaire or registered real estate agent and that lists your name, address and the property that you intend to purchase, plus details of the transaction. It is signed by both the buyer and vendor, and can initially be done in person, by fax, by post or by scanning the signed document and attaching it to an email. If you are not in Nice the compromis will be sent to you via email for you to sign and return to us via express courier (DHL, UPS or Fedex). The Compromis de Vente gives the buyer (but not the vendor) a seven-day grace period to reflect upon your property in Nice purchase. If you change your mind during this time you may walk away from the deal having lost nothing.
7) Appoint a Notaire, or notary, to act as your solicitor throughout the purchase process. We have a list of efficient English-speaking Notaires who we recommend to our property buyers in Nice. These government-sanctioned property lawyers handle any debt searches, building checks and conveyance issues on your property. Their fees are fixed by the French government at around 8% of the property price, a sum only payable upon purchase. You don't pay the same sum again when you come to sell the place! And at Nice Pebbles, all of our estate agency fees are paid by the vendor. We don't charge you a single penny, cent or centime for our services.
8) Send the deposit. If you're just as delighted with your purchase after your seven-day reflection period, it's time to deposit a sum, normally 10% of the purchase price, into the Notaire's escrow account. These accounts are government controlled and the money is transferred to the vendor only on completion of the purchase. You may send a deposit from your local bank abroad, in the form of a cheque drawn from your French bank, using a money transfer service like World First or via online banking if you have that facility. If the vendor backs out of the purchase now, they will have to refund your deposit, plus an additional sum equal to the value of the deposit. In addition, if you fail to obtain your mortgage then the clause suspensive (suspensive clause) on your Compromis de Vente comes into play: your deposit will be returned to you if you cannot finance your purchase with a French lender in the allotted time.
9) If you are not financing your purchase with a mortgage, then skip to point 10. If you are, then it's time to send back your mortgage approval documents to the Notaire.
10) The Notaire will now draw up the deeds of sale and arrange a date for you to sign for your new property in Nice. You may do this from a distance by giving the Notaire Power of Attorney to sign on your behalf but it is far more fun to do it in person! You will be given the keys on signing day. We can then assist with renting your new property, finding a local builder or simply wish you all the best with your new place in Nice.

Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas, a member of the PCB coaches` committee, admitted that they have recommended Dav Whatmore`s name for the post of chief coach.
The PCB and the coaches` committee until now had declined to confirm that only the name of Whatmore was recommended for the job insisting that there were other candidates as well in the running for the top post.
But Zaheer confirmed on a television channel that the Intikhab Alam-led committee recommended the name of Whatmore to PCB Chairman, Zaka Ashraf.
It has been learnt that the former coach of the World Cup winning Sri Lankan team would be back on February 20 to sign the contract on dotted lines.
Mohsin Khan has been the interim coach for three consecutive series against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and England, which Pakistan have won. There is a feeling in the cricket fraternity that Mohsin should be given a longer tenure.
"This is a decision (appointment of a foreign coach) that was taken at the time Pakistan cricket was faced with the spot-fixing trial. It was felt that we needed a foreign coach with a sound background to introduce a new cricket culture in the team," Zaheer justified committee`s decision to recommend Whatmore`s name adding, "Whatmore led the Sri Lankan team to the 1996 World Cup victory and we believe he can realise the full potential of this Pakistan team."
Zaheer said while Mohsin had done a commendable job and needed to be appreciated but Pakistan needed to raise its standards to levels where they can go and win in every country.
"Pakistan have done brilliantly to beat England which is a top side in the ongoing Test series. But I think, we also need to look ahead and plan for the future," Zaheer added.

Top Five Running Shoes for Flat Feet
The arch of your foot is formed by the metatarsal and tarsal bones and strengthened by tendons and ligaments. It allows your foot to support your body weight when you are in an erect posture with ease. The height of your arch determines your foot type and pronation. You can easily check your arch height through the wet feet test.
People with low arch don't have distinct curve alongside the inside of their foot - the imprint taken through test may show the entire foot. If you have low arches, you are more likely to suffer from overpronation which can cause injuries. Therefore, you need special running shoes for your flat feet (arch that sits on the ground). Here are the top five running shoes for flat feet.
1. Brooks Ariel 14
The Brooks Ariel 14 is one of the best shoes for people with flat feet. It is the successor to the famous Brooks Ariel. Since they invented the classic model in 1970, Brooks have become one of the most respected companies for providing high standard shoes for people who suffer from overpronation. It was the first firm to introduce Varus wedge in the midsole so as to stop your foot from overpronating.
This was followed by their Chariot which was a straight-up design for athletes with huge frames and vulnerable to overpronation. Chariot was later remodeled and now it's known as the Beast. The shoe become very popular and thus prompted the company to design a women version which they called Ariel. Ariel carries within it a lot of firm rubber as well as diagonal roll bar for preventing overpronation.
2. Asics GT-2000 2
Asics GT-2000 2 is an excellent hybrid between supportive and neutral running shoe. It is very durable and the perfect trainer for runners with slight over-pronation or athletes who want a little extra padding. GT-2000 is recommended for athletes with mild over-pronation.
3. New Balance 1260 v4
New Balance provide stability for athletes who overpronate, has extra cushioning for smooth ride, its ideal for high or low mileage running and boast of colors and style. It is a solid running sneaker and offer better stability for people who overpronate while delivering enough cushioning from the heel to toe allowing a smooth ride as well as quick transition.
