This picture was taken in 1952 at a fete held at the "House of Rosskeen". On the left are my sister and myself (I am sporting an early prototype Beatle haircut).
Picture added on 27 May 2009
The couple on the right of the photo at the top of the steps look like John Reid the painter and his wife.

This is the front of Kincraig House, not the House of Rosskeen, owned by the Mackenzie family, who annually held an Open Day at the house and gardens to raise funds for charity. The house is now known Kincraig House Hotel and is situated on the north side of the A9 between the Tomich and Achnagarron junctions.
The couple in the background are indeed Mr & Mrs John Reid who ran a painting and decorating business from premises beside their house "Cherrybank" on the High Street at Invergordon.

Would that be Marlene Reid's parents?
Added by Inverg Lass on 01 June 2009
Yes, that was Marlene's parents, in fact the little girl at the top of the steps reminded me of Marlene but not sure if it would be or not..

My grandmother, Anna MacKenzie from Achnagarron used to work in this castle as a young girl prior to marrying and emmigrating to Canada.
Added by Larry McCracken on 24 September 2009
I would like to get more info on the MacKenzie family history and lineage from Achnagarron. My grandmother died at 97 yrs. when I was quite young. My mother Mary (nee MacKenzie) is the only child left of 3 daughters and is now 87 and can only relate a few stories she learned as a child. Grandmother told of different castles/estates she worked at as a chambermaid in the early 1900s, however I am at a loss to remember them.
Added by Larry McCracken on 24 September 2009
The Mackenzies I remember at Achnagarron were at Milnafua where there was a smithy and Mr. Mackenzie was the blacksmith there. This may or may not be your family.
Added by Freda Ross on 26 September 2009
Freda - yes, this is my family. Had the pleasure of visiting some of the remaining family in 2000. The blacksmith shop was still there but I'm not sure if it was still operating or not. Am not familiar with Milnafua, the existing structure seemed to house 2-3 families if I'm correct.
Added by Larry McCracken on 28 September 2009
I well remember visiting the smithy at Milnafua with my father, Angus Ross who farmed at Achnagarron - the smallholding around the Free Church. We passed the smithy where Mr. Mackenzie was at work on our way to the Rosskeen churchyard and then left along the shore road to Invergordon where we lived.
Added by Freda Ross on 28 September 2009
There was no smithy at Milnafua. The smithy is at Achnagarron - always has been there.
Added by John Morrison on 28 September 2009
I thought that John, Ag's as I always heard it called, the last cottage on the roadside below the Free Church, still there but not a working smiddy now I believe.
Added by Liz Taylor nee Askew on 29 September 2009
I stand corrected about Milnafua. You are correct about the smiddy being the last cottage beside the road below the Free Church.
Added by Freda Ross on 29 September 2009
Achnagarron Smiddy was rented by my great grandfather in 1874 and purchased just after the first world war and was a working smiddy up until ten or so years ago. Easter Ross had approx 33 smiddies from Edderton to Evanton working in the 1900s and this was the last to function.
Added by John Mackenzie on 02 October 2009
End of an era I suppose, the farriers seem to come with portable forges in their vans now to shoe horses and no call for a smiddy. We have a couple here in Midlothian, one renovated by a local trust and run as a working smiddy (see www.cousland.net/smiddytrust) - nice to see it being carried on.
Added by Liz Taylor nee Askew on 02 October 2009
Oh *!*!*!*!, Bill, thanks for putting this photo of me showing my knickers to all and sundry - I look like I've lost a pound and found a penny. I've never seen this photo ever, I don't even know who I'm sitting with but it could be Marlene Reid - she had lovely hair.
I'm very new to this internet stuff, my daughter Jodie bought this laptop for me in America when she came over on holiday at the end of August, so I'm very new at all this.

Added by Liz Taylor nee Askew on 14 October 2009
Hi folks, no that is definitely me at the end with the pants! Audrey is 13 years older than me and Bill is seven years older than me - no it's not Audrey, that could be Marlene at the top of the steps. I'll have to phone Bill to see if he could shed any light on this, it's enough to drive you crazy!

My God! Owning a computer seems to have gone to my sister's head....she has adopted a double barrelled name! Doesn't she know there is only room for one toff in our family? It will be Lady Jeanette next!

I'm still none the wiser who else is in this photo of Bill and myself. Bill obviously has no idea either.

My Grandfather Allan Morrice was the blacksmith at Achnagarron for many years and I was a frequent visitor during the summer holidays along with my brother Keith. My Grandmother Ella Morrice, Allan's wife, now lives in Elgin.
Added by Iain Morrice on 22 August 2010
Hello Iain. I remember Allan and Ella Morrice very well and remember youngsters visiting in the summer which I guess would have been yourself and your brother. My dad was Charlie Mackay who lived in the cottage on the other side of AG's house. After he retired from Rosskeen farm he spent most of his day in the smiddy keeping Allan and AG right!!
Added by George Mackay on 24 August 2010
I wonder if Charlie Mackay was the Charlie that drove the Ferguson tractor at Rosskeen in the '50s? We didn't know his last name - he used to warm up our boots on the exhaust on frosty mornings when we picked the tatties.
Added by Harry O'Neill on 24 August 2010
That was him Harry. He was in Rosskeen all his working life and got a long service award for more than 50 years.
Added by George Mackay on 25 August 2010
Hi George, I remember Charlie very well and yourself. Keith and I used to play on the swing beside his house and look for eels in the burn at the end of his garden. I seem to remember the summers then were longer and warmer with less rain than we get now.
Added by Iain Morrice on 25 August 2010
Hi George, I thought so. Your dad was a very nice man, we all looked forward to seeing him on the farm, happy days.
Added by Harry O'Neill on 26 August 2010
George, I have been scratching my head over who the Gaffer was at Rosskeen farm. He was a big man, he used to sit outside Invergordon Academy on the High Street and sign us up for the tatties. Would you remember?
Added by Harry O'Neill on 06 September 2010
Harry, his name was Sandy Gibson and he was married to my Aunt Jean. They had 4 children. Margaret was a nursing sister and still lives in the area, Jean who also went into nursing, married John Cunningham and then moved to Wales. Gordon who has retired from police in Dundee and Alec, who also worked on the farm, but sadly passed away a few years ago. I know Gordon and my brother (Charles) have some good old photos of activities and people on Rosskeen farm and might get their scanners working if they see this!
Added by George Mackay on 06 September 2010
Thanks George, sounds good re the old photos.
Added by Harry O'Neill on 07 September 2010
Milnafua was a farm located by following the road along the right side of the church.
My grandmother Madge (Mackenzie) Tuach came from Achnagarron and was AG's aunt. Therefore I am interested to know the connection with Anna Mackenzie mentioned by Larry above.

Functions of a computer Operating System
Operating system is termed as the intermediate program between the user and the computer hardware. It primarily manages the hardware as well as provides the platform for the application programs to work on. In this article we would be exploring these functions carried out by the operating system.
The operating system is rightly called the most important part of the computer since it provides the medium of interaction between the software and the hardware of the computer. Thus it can be said that the operating system is basically used by the user to interact with the hardware of the computer system. The special feature of the operating system is that there are variations based on the requirement of the user to perform certain task.
From the above points it can be clearly stated that some operating systems are designed to be convenient while some are designed to be efficient and the rest are designed as a combination of both.
Components of Computer System
As evident from the above image, the computer system is divided into 4 components namely:
Here the hardware consists of central processing unit(CPU), memory and input/output (I/O) devices which are altogether used to provide the basic computing resources for the system. On the other hand the application programs i.e. the software is used to define the ways in which these resources would be used to solve the user queries.
Operating System for User
From the user point of view, the most essential purpose of the operating system is the ease of use followed by the performance and lastly resource utilization. As a result such personal computers pay more attention to performance than resource utilization which in turn leads to the optimal single-user experience.
As earlier mentioned there exist many other uses of a computer and depending on that the operating system is modified. As in the case where multiple users require to access others computer for data and exchange the same within themselves, the most important feature to focus on turns out to be resource utilization therefore the operating system is designed to obtain maximum of it.
Next one could imagine workstations which are connected to some other workstation via the server. Here the users have a dedicated resource but also require to exchange information via the network and servers. Thus the operating system is designed in such a manner that the user receives the optimal balance between usability and resource utilization.
Standalone computers have turned out to be a key part of almost every working individual's life, thanks to its portability and performance. The real secret behind this is that the operating systems are designed mostly for the individual usability but along with this the amount of performance achieved for the given battery life is looked into.
Lastly there are some computers which have little or almost no user view e.g. the embedded computers in home devices and automobiles which often have digital displays or maybe numeric keypads but the operating system is designed in a manner to work absolutely without human intervention.
Operating System from System View
Till now we discussed how the operating system is designed to increase the ease of usage but if we consider the operating system keeping the system efficiency in mind, it primarily deals with the hardware. Its task is to manage the execution of multiple requests flowing in each second by efficiently allocating them to the available resources i.e. the components of computer hardware. Due to the above function the operating system can be efficiently called the resource allocator.
This function is most needed during mainframe or minicomputer where multiple computers continuously interact with each other which leads to numerous conflicting requests for the resources.
The other significant role played by the operating system is that of a control program to manage the execution of user programs by avoiding errors and preventing improper use of computer. It is mainly concerned with the operation and control of the I/O devices.
Defining the Operating System
Based on all the above features of the operating system we arrive at a formal definition of the same. Operating systems exist because they offer a reasonable way to solve problem of creating usable computing system. Fundamental goal of computer systems is to execute user programs and to make solving user problems easier. This is the main goal based on which the operating systems are designed. It is so because the hardware is not easy to use and the application programs require some common operations in order to control the peripherals. To solve this problem the operating system has been developed. One can also define the operating system by calling it the only program that runs all the time on the computer (usually called the kernel) since all other programs i.e. system programs and application programs are usually run for a shorter period.

The following procedures are intended to establish the framework for the implementation and supervision of school volunteer programs in the Clover Park School District as authorized by Policy 5630. Schools are required to develop and implement activities for utilizing volunteers and parent engagement.
The voluntary help of citizens should be requested by staff through administrative channels for conducting selected activities and/or to serve as resource persons.
Applicability and Scope
- This procedure applies to all volunteers and prospective volunteers in Clover Park School District.
- This procedure shall not apply to:
- A visitor at school for a one-time special event (such as guest speakers, celebrity readers, career day special guests, and attendees at student productions, competitions or performances). Such persons shall be admitted to schools consistent with policies and procedures regulating school visitors. Under no circumstances may a visitor be left alone with students.
- Parents who are not serving in a volunteer capacity who are visiting their students' schools as otherwise authorized by state law and district policies.
For purposes of this procedure, "volunteer" means any person (other than an employee or contractor) authorized by Clover Park School District to assist in school learning, activities, competitions or events.
Volunteers will:
- Be subject to annual volunteer screening and application processes, including a background check;
- Work within guidelines established by administrator and district's volunteer policies and procedures;
- Work under the direction and supervision of district staff;
- Serve in the capacity of helpers and not be assigned to roles that require specific professional training. Instructional services will be rendered under the supervision of certificated staff;
- Refrain from discussing the performance or actions of a student except with the student's teacher, counselor or principal;
- Refer to a regular staff member for final solution of any student problem which arises, whether of an instructional, medical or operational nature;
- Receive such information as:
- General job responsibilities and limitations;
- Information about school facilities, routines and procedures;
- Work schedule and place of work; and
- Expected relationship to the regular staff;
- Be provided appropriate training at the school level, if new volunteers, consistent with their tasks and existing district standards. This training will be developed under the leadership of the principal utilizing the district volunteer handbook.
- Have assignments and activities carefully defined in writing. Examples of suggested duties for volunteers may include:
- Bulletin boards;
- Preparation of materials for art, science, math classes;
- Office support duties;
- Clean-up activities;
- Library and audio visual duties;
- Assistance with physical education exercises;
- Instructional activities appropriate to the volunteer's training and classroom needs such as monitoring math assignments, listening to oral reading and others;
- Vision and hearing testing and approved medical surveys;
- School activities supervision;
- Playground supervision with a staff member; and
- Chaperoning for field-trips.
- Have their services terminated for these and other reasons:
- Program and/or duties completed;
- Resignation of the volunteer;
- Replacement by paid staff member; and
- Circumstances that in the judgment of the administrator may necessitate asking the volunteer to terminate services.
- Submit a new volunteer application each year to continue volunteering.
Status of Volunteers
Volunteers may be used to assist district personnel in local schools, as well as in district programs, activities, competitions and events. However, at all times district personnel overseeing the program, activity, competition or event retain the primary responsibility for supervising, diagnosing, prescribing, instructing and evaluating students.
At no time is a school under an obligation to accept the services of a volunteer. The acceptance and utilization of the services of any person on a voluntary basis shall be at the discretion of the school district, and the utilization of such services may be discontinued by the school district at any time.
While performing volunteer duties for the district, volunteers shall not engage in commercial, political or religious solicitation of students unrelated to their duties.
Volunteers shall avoid conflicts of interest while working with students and may not use their position for personal advantage or gain.
Volunteers must engage with students in a manner that is respectful, age-appropriate, and reflects the community expectations of adults interacting with the public school students entrusted to their supervision. Volunteers will be held to the adult-student interaction expectations for employed personnel set forth in district policy.
Volunteers must understand and carefully abide by the district's obligation to maintain the privacy of student educational records consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), federal law regulating special education, and corresponding state law. Volunteers should never place pictures or descriptions of students on a non-district website.
No person shall volunteer to fill court-required community service or some other obligation imposed for violations of the law.
Principals and administrators are responsible for coordination and supervision of volunteers in the schools, including identifying appropriate tasks for volunteers. Program directors are similarly responsible for coordination and supervision of volunteers in other capacities.
Each school is responsible for coordinating the background checks of volunteers serving in that school. Program directors are similarly responsible for background check compliance of volunteers working in other capacities.
The superintendent may issue further reasonable directives concerning school volunteers including, but not limited to, more stringent guidelines for screening as deemed necessary.
Process to Become a Volunteer
- A person who wishes to volunteer will annually complete the CPSD Volunteer application process available on the district website (5630 F1).
- The school's volunteer clearances coordinator will process the background check with the Washington State Patrol. Background checks will not be required for applicants less than 18 years of age.
- After the background check has been completed, the school will notify the applicant whether he/she is approved. The school principal will notify those who are denied to volunteer.
Volunteer Athletic Coaches
A person who wishes to volunteer as an athletic coach must meet the following requirements according to Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) regulations and district policy:
- Have a valid CPR, first aid, concussion and sudden cardiac arrest certification of training; and
- Completed all required WIAA training and certifications for the sport(s) they apply to volunteer for.
Because volunteer coaches must meet these additional requirements, the approval process requires additional steps. To approve an applicant as a volunteer athletic coach the following process must be followed:
- The applicant completes the volunteer coach application (5630 F2) and provides the required certification forms;
- The school athletic director will ensure that the applicant has the required certifications or that the required trainings will be accomplished prior to completing the application screening process;
- The school athletic director will have the background check processed with the Washington State Patrol; and
- Once the background check is cleared, the applicant will be interviewed the appropriate head coach and other individuals as desired.
Denial of Volunteer Coaching Application
If the volunteer application is approved, but the application for volunteer coaching is denied, a letter will be sent by the school athletic director to the volunteer applicant confirming denial of application.
Athletic Event Volunteers – over 18 years of age
Individuals over the age of 18 and are graduates of high school may volunteer to be scorekeepers, statisticians, tournament workers, and other event help with the approval of the school's athletic director.
Coaches who would like athletic event volunteers to be involved in their program must:
- Have the applicant complete the appropriate volunteer application, which can be obtained from the district website; and
- Return the complete application to the school to obtain prior approval from the school's principal and athletic director;
- Prior to having a volunteer work an event, the coach must ensure the volunteer packet has been approved before allowing the volunteer to report for any assignment involving students.
- All volunteers must report and sign-in at the main office prior to reporting to the athletic event.
High School Students Volunteers – under the age of 18
High school students may serve as middle school level volunteers during the designated middle school season when under the direct supervision of the middle school level coach.
Coaches who would like high school volunteers to be involved in their program must:
- Have the applicant complete the volunteer application, which can be obtained from the district website;
- Return the complete application with a copy of their high school student ID to the school to obtain prior approval from the school's principal and athletic director;

WASHINGTON -- The Republican governor of Iowa is campaigning to get his gubernatorial colleagues from around the country to join his effort to overturn the International Olympic Committee's decision to end wrestling as an Olympic sport.
Gov. Terry Branstad used part of Monday's closing session of the National Governors Association winter meeting here to urge governors to sign a letter to the IOC, calling for the body to reverse its decision. Earlier this month, Branstad launched a campaign to lobby the IOC to change the decision, which will end wrestling as an Olympic sport starting in 2020. Branstad has been joined in the campaign by Dan Gable, a former head wrestling coach at the University of Iowa who won an Olympic gold medal in wrestling in 1972.
"We'd love to have all the governors, or as many as possible, sign on," Branstad told his colleagues.
The IOC's preliminary decision to end wrestling as an Olympic sport has sparked opposition from members of Congress, particularly those from the Midwest. A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Iowa's entire congressional delegation, has sponsored a resolution asking for the IOC to reverse the decision. Branstad and Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) have already sent letters to the IOC and have launched Let's Keep Wrestling, a campaign funded by Branstad's political funds.
When he launched the pro-wrestling campaign earlier this month, Branstad said the sport "is part of the fabric of Iowa."
Branstad could be overheard lobbying his colleagues individually to get them to sign on to the IOC letter. He told the full session that while it may be a long shot to get the IOC to change their minds, it was an effort worth gubernatorial involvement.
He also had choice words for the IOC: "I think it is crazy to see it eliminated."

Almond Meal Pancakes with Cherry Coulis
There have been periods of excellent nutrition habits in my life, and periods of less than excellent nutrition habits. The part I like about waves of sound nutrition is that each time, a few more favorites fit into my overall repertoire. Almond meal pancakes are one of those additions. No matter how decadent my habits are at any time, pulling this recipe out always makes me feel like royalty. It is so very tasty. (And so very good for you.)
Some notes regarding this recipe:
- Sometimes I buy prepared almond meal. More often, in an attempt to be frugal, I make my own. To do so, whir blanched almonds with an immersion blender. (Or blender-blender.) Enjoy cleaning up the mess. J The finished product is nice either way. With prepared almond meal, it tastes more like normal pancakes. With home-made meal, it has bits of larger almonds that make it more rustic.
- I don't always add the full amount of sweetener. And I always use honey as sweetener. You can reduce the amount you need by adding large amounts of cinnamon. (Start at 2 tbsp and go up from there.)
- The original recipe called for ¼ tsp salt. I found that way too much. You may find that you want to use the full amount.Without any further ado:
1 cup almond meal
2 eggs
¼ cup water
2 tbsp oil
2-3 shakes of salt
1 tbsp sweetener
2 tbsp cinnamon
Mix ingredients together and cook, by ¼ cup of batter, as regular pancakes.
This makes 6 pancakes.
This makes 6 pancakes.
Cherry Coulis1 cup frozen tart cherries
2 tbsp honey
¼ cup water
Place all ingredients in saucepan. When cherries are starting to soften, whirr with immersion blender. Bring to a simmer, and reduce sauce – about 10 minutes.
Serve 2 tbsp over each pancake. A dash of coconut milk is a nice addition.

DVD Review - Run the Tide
Taylor Lautner (Twilight and Abduction) stars as Raymund Hightower or Rey, a young man who lives in New Mexico. He's college-age but clearly never went to college. He works at a gas station and lives in a tiny and crappy trailer out in the mountainous desert. He gets around in an old and crappy, red SUV. He's also raising his prepubescent brother.
Nico Christou co-stars as Oliver Hightower, the prepubescent brother who is probably 11 or 12. He likes playing baseball but hates inside-pitches. He's very smart and very brash. He isn't afraid to yell, scream and even throw rocks at his only brother. He can also be a very tough negotiator.
Constance Zimmer (Unreal and Entourage) also stars as Lola, the mother to Rey and Oliver who isn't available because she's in prison. There's a lot that she's done that Oliver doesn't remember because he was too young when she was arrested, but Rey remembers and hates her for what she's done. It's evident though that she is highly remorseful and wants to make amends, but Rey accused her of being a junkie and a whore.
Johanna Braddy (Quantico and Unreal) plays Michelle Turner, an ex-girlfriend of Rey who shows up in town to visit family before returning to her consulting job at a tech firm in San Francisco. She is of course beautiful but she likes to sing songs and play the guitar. She represents the idea of escape, escape from a kind of trap that Rey seems to be in.
Ultimately, the escape from the trap is forgiveness. Rey needs to forgive his mom and not get in the way of her having custody of Oliver. It shows that one's relationship with someone isn't going to be the relationship that someone has with everybody. Your own experience isn't going to be everyone's experience. Because one's experience was bad, the response to be overly protective is natural and normal.
This is the tension between the two brothers. It may lean toward histrionics, but this might be the best performance from Lautner beyond his physical transformation in Twilight. There and in subsequent films, he flexed his upper-body muscles. Here, he flexes his emotional muscles. He conveys successfully some really genuine feelings, brotherly love and fear, and he's believable.
It comes to a head when Lautner and Cristou battle in a motel room. It's an arc to a relationship between the brothers that is potently mapped out and both Lautner and Cristou travail nicely.
Rated PG-13 for thematic content, language and a scene of sexuality.
Running Time: 1 hr. and 36 mins.

This quaint and beautiful condo is located in the heart of Isla Verde. Only 5 minutes from the airport, on the best beach in San Juan and arguably one of the best beaches in the entire of Puerto Rico.
The Racquet Club Condominium is a safe, clean building and has a spectacular view of the ocean.
The condo is only steps away from the Isla Verde strip, where you can walk to everything, from the Inter-Continental, Ruth's Chris, to the "soho chic" rooftop restaurant and bar at the Water and Beach Hotel. CVS is one block away, a few blocks to Walgreen's, and a number of fast food restaurants if you choose.
In terms of transportation, you can rent a car or even walk a few steps to the corner and take the local bus to Old San Juan, and take in some museums or visit the world famous El Morro. There are so many choices, but you won't be disappointed.
The 'Puerto Rican Cheers,' is what I call the friendly bar and restaurant, conveniently located at the bottom of the building, where you will meet locals, to New Yorkers, to tourists from around the globe, and by the end of the night, everyone will probably know your name! It's just a lot of fun and has amazing cuisine!!!!
No matter what... you will be in the heart of Isla Verde, and have a great time!

Where was I? In the Cotton On outlet in Tawa, Wellington picking up some crazy bargains. I find a super neon green alarm clock for $5 along with a pair of functional and fashionable boots for another five, to replace the $10 pair I had just misplaced on the train below my seat. My young male cousins are discovering the joys of shopping and fashion through the guidance of my younger sister. "Stay away from the v-necks," she alerts them. "And put down that disgusting purple shirt, you're already wearing skinny jeans. Who do you think you are, Justin Bieber?"
Where was I? Standing amongst a progression in a Catholic church in Wellington, silently calculating the percentage of people wearing white in half of the pews, in a half arsed attempt to distract my mind from the temptation of delicious sleep. My aunt had invited my mother, sister and me and my mum leaps at any chance to fulfil the lack of religion she has in her life that came with marrying my father. I honestly thought that any association that I had with Catholicism ended with my graduating from a Catholic girls school. Apparently not.
Where was I? Eating a freshly made lemon crepe from a man who had told me that he was from the south of France, that Wellington is a dead city, that he prefers Australia to New Zealand, loves Melbourne and he hopes to live there. He glances hopefully to me, receiving my conversational input. It's strange, these looks; they seem like something more than polite or innocent eye contact. But he had a strong accent and the stall's music blasted boisterously. Half of the time, I actually had no strong impression of what he was enthusiastically telling me. My sister performs like the perfect social player she is: nodding, smiling giving input, etc. I think to myself oh thank god she's here with her obvious comprehension. Later, my sister told me that she had no idea what he was saying and oh thank god I was there, with my obvious comprehension. When presenting my sister with the first of the crepes, he cacks himself at her overtly jocose expression. He guesses correctly that she is the youngest and continues to chuckle through his work. I realise how numb I've become to not only my sister's quirks, but also my own.
Where was I? Curled up with a book worm nibbled copy of Stephen King's Christine, in my oversized senior jersey and under a blanket, safe from the local daily hurricane winds. It's only one of the towering pile of cheap reads that I have snagged from Wellington op shops and second hand bookstores. I feel like a fully certified thrift shopper now, equal to the godly standards of Ryan Lewis and Macklemore (Walk up in the club like what up I got a big cock/Nah I'm just pumped up by some shit from a thrift shop). Honest to god though, this novel is fucking terrible. It reminds me of a Goosebumps book, one of those ones that everyone used to like in primary school. The plot is so basic I may as well have purchased a brain cell detonator instead and saved myself the trouble. At times, the carved paths in the book by some hungry insect fascinate me more than the actual text. They wind in and out of words, rendering some sentences into fragments and boring through several pages. I wake up later, dazed and as I rise yellowed flakes of Christine float onto the floor.
Where was I? Posing awkwardly with a stretched smile in front of a bathroom sink in the ladies' room of Wellington's Embassy cinema. This is no Myspace worthy bathroom mirror selfie. My mother was so exceedingly thrilled at being in a public toilet with plush carpet, wooden fixtures and detailed tiled walls she felt the need to document it. My sister and I beg her not to, as we stand together next to an apparent landmark for the twentieth time that day. We are in the most prestigious movie theatre in New Zealand, where an amazing and immense sculpture of Gandalf and the Hobbit Hole is plastered onto the front of the building and she wants to capture us in the loo. "It's so beautiful," she exclaims. It may be beautiful, but it still has the same purpose as any other thunderbox. People shit here.
Where was I? Listening to my eleven year old cousin excitedly tell my sister cheats on her Playstation as they squeal together in excitement while they venture through this fantasy world. I can't see them, but I can hear them through the thin walls. They keep me up until some ungodly hour in the morning. It is our last night in New Zealand and it is one of the few times that I think that this little girl is truly happy. Her older brothers are often together, grunting as a forms of communication while they are glued to their world champion boxing game on PS3. And then there's her. She's eleven and although I remember abandoning my soft toys before I was her age, I often see her hugging a withered woollen rabbit. She often keeps a false pretence of happiness before us, which barely shields her evident sadness. This girl is lonely and something is wrong. We discover just what later. However it is now, more than ever that I am thankful for my sister.
Where was I? In a shopping centre, with my mother and sister, struggling not to cry. We are finally back in Brisbane and as our internet at home likes to shit itself occasionally, we are forced to pursue the wonders of free wifi in public places. Usually we would have waited the revival of our interwebs but it is today that university offers come. My future is in cyberspace. So while my family has left me alone to discover my fate, I click away and discover it. It is an offer that I already know I have, from the email I received earlier. Yet I didn't know who from and what it was for and it is now that it is staring back at me from behind a glass screen. It is not the offer I wanted. I told myself it wouldn't happen, I tried to protect myself, but nothing could have softened this sting. Later, my mother is slow to move, slow to understand why I want to go home NOW. I blurt it out to my family, as I am failing to fake satisfaction. Although there are strangers surrounding us and I am striving against it, the tears come. While my sister holds me, my mum is horrendous at comforting me, just as she always has been. She doesn't understand and it takes her too long to succumb to my request to leave. I don't really know why I am crying - just maybe it's that I have never wanted anything more.
Where was I? Sitting behind my mac, typing furiously away. I hadn't blogged since last year. I had it in mind to be a better blogger in 2013. How so? With more substantial stuff, with stuff that is just more interesting, with stuff that I really do care for and mull over. I opened my laptop and I just let my fingers articulate the first thoughts in my head. They were of the last few weeks and of the weeks to come. I am now reconciled and ready to see that this year is perhaps maybe as memorable as it's successor, if not more. I hope. Could it be that the years are becoming shorter? I am only five months shy of 18 years old and already I feel that I am being swept into a perplexing cosmos where time is growing shorter and exponentially gains more value as it does so. Speak of the devil, it is past midnight here. I am working at my receptionist job in eight and a half hours.
Where was I? Bidding you adieu in the ending of this post. Until next time dear reader, I will be here.

Anglesey Employment Sites Masterplans
This report has been prepared for the Isle of Anglesey County Council (IoACC) to set out the results of masterplanning studies carried out on five key employment sites which form part of the Anglesey Enterprise Zone (AEZ).
These AEZ sites have been identified as key potential future development sites. Eleven sites were originally identified and these are located across Anglesey including Holyhead (five sites), Llangefni (three sites), Gaerwen (two sites) and Amlwch (one site). The purpose of the masterplans is to set out an indicative vision for the potential development of each of the sites to further inform the sourcing and prioritisation of investment and funding opportunities.
Of these, one site has been selected at Holyhead which is the EZ3 Penrhos site, one at Gaerwen which is the EZ9 Gaerwen site and one at Amlwch which is the EZ10 Rhosgoch site. At Llangefni, the EZ6 Bryn Cefni site is the main focus for the masterplan with consideration of the approach from the west between the EZ7 sites as context only. A site not currently in the Anglesey Enterprise Zone has been identified at Mona and is included in
this masterplanning study.
This report builds upon earlier work undertaken by AMEC on the Enterprise Zones Transport Infrastructure Feasibility Report December 2012 which set out an overview of the key transport opportunities and constraints relating to the AEZ sites and resultant potential highways schemes. These results are used in this masterplanning study to inform any proposed access improvements to the sites.
It is suggested that the IoACC take forward the conclusions of this study and review the available funding options to deliver the identified proposals. Depending upon the level of funding that may be available, it should be possibleto select from the priority list appropriate nschemes to bring forward for further development. More detailed evaluation of any scheme which is selected should be undertaken to provide a greater level of justification and to provide firm conclusions as to the exact nature and type of scheme.
For further information, please contact Tudur H Jones, Sites and Premsise Project Manager, email@example.com

This drasha is just one example why we are so proud, and honored to have Rabbi Sender Haber and his family here in our community.
Mazel tov to you and the rest of your family.
This Blog is waaay too cool, good work amd Yasher Koach
Rabbi Haber!!!
Hi Rabbi Haber,
I just read your essay titled, In Honor of Hanna Gittels' Wedding. It was
quite interesting and moving. Thank you. Occasionally I go to TorahLab,
and I always find a variety of things to think about.
This particular essay, though, is so clear and offers such an important
lesson in life. Having the two perspectives is sometimes the only guide in
difficult times. Thank you, again.
Len Silver
PS. I thought that such an essay should not have even a single grammatical
blemish. I believe that in the 6th paragraph from the bottom, the word,
"Jew's," should be, Jews'. The first means possessive for a single Jew (The
Jew's cup is full.) The second means plural possessive (The Jews' cups are
full.) Thank you so much, again, for the essay!

'Hey Love'-
Song by Levi Robin
Produced by Stu Brooks
Mixed by Joel Hamilton
My dear friend Shua (Yehoshua Raphael HaLevi ben Yocheved) has been in the hospital since last week, fighting for his life. His family, friends and even people who never met Shua, are taking upon themselves to do things that increase light in this world. In Shua's merit I would like to release a song tonight, Hey Love, in hopes that it brings comfort and healing to Shua, his family, and the whole world. In this song, it is sung "even in the valleys and the shadows, I'm here", that even in the darkest moments and experiences, the Divine Presence is with us.
Hey love don't fear
Even in the valleys and the shadows
I'm here
Hey love stay near
Always in my heart
I'm holding you
Hey love go on
Do as you may but I'm holding you
Hey love keep warm
Though it's so early
For such a great
Hey love don't go
Away from truth your heart already
Hey love say no
To the voices that come and say
Its aint so
Hold on to the hand
That reaches out to guide you
Across this narrow bridge
Above the fall below you
Beyond your years
You'll find in yourself wisdom
Let it be heard, let it be heard
Hey love stay strong
Even as you grow old never let go
Of your song

A charity golf day on Teesside is all set to go with a swing with the help of two cuddly mascots.
A giant hedgehog, Spike, and a five-foot lion, Simba, visited Eaglescliffe Golf Club to promote the fundraising event on September 4.
Teams playing £25 a head will play throughout the day before a presentation evening in the clubhouse.
All money raised will then be split between the Butterwick children's Hospice in Stockton and Middlesbrough's Teesside Hospice.
Ladies' captain at the club, Tess Byrne, said: "We are supporting two very worthwhile charities. It's not too late for players to enrol, the more money we raise the better."
The event is being sponsored by Pertemps Employment Alliance which delivers a range of welfare to work initiatives in Teesside.
Teams can play for £25 and businesses can sponsor a hole for £100, which includes one team entry.

Blackberry Replacement Parts - Replacing the Spoiled Parts With New Blackberry Parts
Published: 30th May 2011
Views: N/A
In most cases, if something were to happen to your phone chances are only the screen, key pad, track pad or trackball will be affected. If this were to happen then you don't have to worry about spending so much on repairs because you can simply do it yourself. It may take some time, patience and dedication to get it done, but once you understand it then you'll see that is actually isn't as complicated as it looks. If you feel like you don't have the confidence to follow an article or something, then look up the tutorial videos and watch them first before you start. You can watch them a few times to see exactly what goes on and when you understand it enough, you can try doing it yourself too.
With a steady hand and a lot of patience, you shouldn't have a problem!
For those extra tips and notes, you can always check out forums and things like that.
An extra bit of effort goes a long way so give it a try and save that cash!

Leftovers for dinner, so a good chance to post about lunch at The Kitchin a couple of weeks back.
Everybody and their auntie have been to, or want to go to, The Kitchin (the staff were taking a booking for March 2012 when we were there); its popularity and reputation are pretty much beyond question.
Practically straight off a plane from Mexico, Tom Kitchin's "passion of the season" philosophy brought us straight back down to autumnal Scotland on a plate with a distinct, if delicious, bump.
Call me cynical, but as soon as a chef gains 'celebrity' status (my benchmark for celebrity being Saturday Kitchen!), I do wonder about the time they spend 'at the pass'. While I would not doubt the competence and quality of his team, it is reassuring that Tom Kitchin's luscious locks could be spotted through the kitchen viewing window both times I've visited. A member of staff also said I could pop in pretty much any morning if I wanted to get a book signed (the groupie that I am!), which annoyingly I've still not managed to get round to.
Apologies in advance if some of the detail below is sketchy - I forgot to ask for a menu and my memory isn't great at the best of times - I'm blaming the jetlag not ofcourse the rather scrummily dry but flavourful Pol Roger Brut Réserve, or the crisp and fruity Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc we drank.
Aaaannyhoo, aside from a couple of minor niggles, I was reminded of a further fleeting reflection by a colleague today, who described the service as trying too hard and not 'fun'. Personally I think this is a bit harsh, and I wouldn't go so far as to say the service in a restaurant should be 'fun' ('though maybe depends on your definition and the restaurant!) but agree there could be some more scope here for 'relating' to the individual customer. I've experienced this done equally really very well and really very badly in restaurants (including others with Michelin stars), but acknowledge it's tricky and ultimately comes down to personal preference.
So overall, a tiny criticism that should not outweigh the exceptionally high standards of food and attentive, professional service that The Kitchin delivers. I know I'd certainly be back again in a flash.
Achingly clear and flavourful consommé, with a perfect nugget of succulent chicken sunk at the bottom.
Gorgeously refined game terrine. The delicate and meticulously prepared accompanying autumnal fruits and vegetables each retainined their individual characteristics, and complemented the terrine beautifully. Found the accompanying fried bread (with reduction/gravy?) greasy, and a heavy unnecessary layer on top of the already rich terrine.
Ox tongue, pumpkin risotto, hens egg, toasted pumpkin seeds and (iberico?) ham. Loved it - a dish sooo all about the textures, which I'm totally in-to. Although having said that the ham was a bit too crisp in my opinion, detracting from its flavour and scattering excessively spiky shards throughout the dish.
Gingerbread souffle with stem ginger ice cream. I don't think I'll ever get over my awe of seeing perfect souffle's such as this come out of restaurant kitchens. Perfectly reminiscent of gingerbread spice, with deliciously complementary - albeit very fast melting (I can sympathise) - stem ginger ice-cream.
And finally to cheese. I'd be lying if I said I could remember all we tried, but I was relieved (if not unsurprised) that the board did include a fine selection of Scottish cheeses - not just "French and English" (clearly just a slip-up instead of "British") as first advised.

Highgrove House is the family residence of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. The Royal Gardens at Highgrove have been created with imagination and passion by HRH the Prince of Wales over the last 35 years and are opened annually to visitors to share in their enjoyment of this much-loved inspirational setting.

Our friend Kurt loves pie. No, that's not quite right, it is more like he is obsessed with it, perhaps unhealthily so. So in April, when his birthday rolls around, he invites everyone to come over to his house and share pie.
Minos and i came up with a plan for a pie with apple and goat cheese. She suggested adding caramelized onions to it, and i suggested adding fresh rosemary. So this was a group effort, really. I ended up baking it in a shallow pan, which made it more of a tart pan really. And as an added bonus, it was very simple.
Ingedients – crust
1 1/3 cups of flour
1 1/4 stick of butter
2 tablespoons of shortening (i used Crisco)
1 teaspoons of salt
1/3 cups of water
Steps – Crust
1. Dump everything into the food processor.
2. Pulse until everything forms coarse crumbles.
3. At that point, pulse slowly while watching closely. As soon as the crumbles form into a big crust ball, stop immediately.
4. Wrap the ball in plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
NOTE: This crust recipe is located all over the internet as Julia Child's Pie Crust. We did not make this up. Also, this recipe makes a full crust — top and bottom of a standard pie pan. Since we used a shallower tart pan and did not put a top on it, there was crust left over. Enough, in fact, for a second tart. Hmmm…
Ingredients – Filling
1 cup of soft goat cheese
1/2 large sweet onion — about 1 cup before cooking
2 – 3 tablespoons of olive oil
dash of coarse sea salt
2 large Granny Smith apples, washed
1 tablespoon of fresh Rosemary (see notes)
Steps – filling
1. First, slice the onion very very thin. I slied it with a mandolin to get nice, thin pieces.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onions.
3. Sautee the onions until the just start to turn brown, which takes about 20 minutes or so.
4. When the onions are brown, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool. At that point, preheat the oven to 375 F.
5. Take the pie crust out of the fridge, where it has rested for the half hour you cooked the onions.
6. Dust a work space and a rolling pin with flour and roll the crust out thin. I got mine about 1/4 of an inch thick, but go with a thickness that works for you.
7. Place it in your pan however you want — if you want to have a top as well, go for it. These instructions are for an open faced tart, but i think it could work with a top crust as well. I layered my crust in the bottom of the pan and use a pastry cutter to remove any excess.
8. Smear goat cheese on top of the crust, but do this carefully as the crust is still rather soft. I sliced the goat cheese and pressed it flat on top of the crust.
9. Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of fresh rosemary on top of the cheese.
10. Now take the washed Granny Smith apples,. If you want to peel them, go for it. I left the skins on. Either way, slice them very thinly. Again, i used the mandolin, after cutting each apple in half. But do whatever you like.
11. Lay the apple slices on top of the cheese, trying to layer them so that the layers are even. What i mean is, spread slices around to form one layer, then add another layer, etc. I ended up with about an inch thick of apple slices from the 2 Granny Smiths i used. As i reached the end, i stacked them so that there was a little indention in the middle, like i was making a small volcano of apple slices, with a crater in the middle.
12. Fill the crater with the cooled carmelized onions. I made sure the scrape as much of the cooking olive oil as i could into the pie.
13. Top with the rest of the rosemary.
14. Place in hot oven, on a rack at the lower third of the oven space. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. You will know it is done with the little bits of crust you can see aroudn the edges have turned brown, and the apples look dry.
15. Let it cool.
1. I used a sweet onion because i live in Georgia and sweet onions are everywhere here. If you can't find them, a regular onion should be okay. Since you are going to caramelize it, most of the bite will be neutralized by the cooking process. Then again, a little bit of oniony bite might be a good thing.
2. The only thing i was disappointed with here is the rosemary — unless you happened to get a mouthful with a rosemary leaf, you couldn't really taste it. I think that i should have added the rosemary to the onion as it cooked, thereby infusing the onion with a good rosemary flavor. If you like the taste of rosemary, try that and let me know how it turns out.
Overall, this was a success. People at the party at 75% of the tart, and Kurt himself liked it, despite the surprised expression in this photo. (I think the flash is what surprised him.)
I enjoyed it too, with the one caveat that i would have liked a hint more rosemary taste.

Contract Details:
Here's the full Ndamukong Suh contract … pic.twitter.com/LxQpXCSlgr
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 11, 2015
The Miami Dolphins announced the signing of DT Ndamukong Suh to a six-year contract on Wednesday.
We have offically signed DT @NdamukongSuh!
#StrongerTogether pic.twitter.com/wr4IvIJHR0
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) March 11, 2015
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Miami Dolphins are signing DT Ndamukong Suh to a six-year deal worth around $114 million and includes $60 million guaranteed.
- Mortensen adds that Suh will receive $60 million in the first three years of the six-year agreement and pay him an average of $19 million per year.
According to the report, the Lions were among other teams making competitive offers to Suh, but the parameters of the Dolphins' "far exceeded" the rest of the clubs interested in him.
The agreement won't be official until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
This contract will easily make Suh the highest paid defensive player in the league, besting J.J. Watt's eight-year, $108.88 million contract that includes $51.8 million guaranteed.
All indications are that the Dolphins are the team to beat for Suh, so while this is certainly big news, it's not as surprising as it would have appeared just a few weeks ago.
Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reported yesterday that several sources around the NFL had been talking about Suh to the Dolphins "as if it already happened."
The fact that there is no state income tax in Florida will allow Suh to retain several million dollars per year over the course of this agreement, which is a big difference when you consider that state income taxes in other states like California (13.3 percent) and Michigan (4.25 percent).
It will be interesting to see what moves the Dolphins make in the coming days to clear more cap space, so that this massive contract doesn't weigh down their financial situation too much.
Suh, 27, recorded 51 tackles, 8.5 sacks and three pass defenses for the Lions over the course of 16 games in 2014. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 3 defensive tackle in the league.
We had Suh listed as the No. 1 player in our Top 100 Free Agents List.

As one of our California-born, Europe-based readers pointed out in response to our last pizza post, Americans often drink soda or beer with pizza. Europeans almost always drink wine. We're happy to choose the evening wine and then decide what to eat with it. Having a 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape on hand suggested a bold pizza. And since fennel is one of the dominant flavors of southern Rhône valley cuisine, we naturally gravitated to roasted fennel and a limited amount of Italian sausage with fennel seeds.
The Wine: Ogier Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2015
As the photo above shows, the wine was the 2015 Antoine Ogier Cuvée Reine Jeanne, one of eight different versions of Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Ogier. It's named for Jeanne of Naples, the Countess of Provence who sold the city of Avignon to Clement VI and was subsequently cleared of any suspicion in her husband's assassination. The implication is that the wine is passionate and strong-willed.
It is all that. When first opened, the small percentage of Syrah (10 percent) dominates, producing a wild nose of saddle leather and tobacco. Once it aerates a little, the softer and fruitier quality of the Grenache (80 percent, much of it destemmed) comes forward with pronounced notes of cherry, blackcurrant, and raspberry. Pairing with the fennel of the pizza brings out the fresh notes of black pepper and eucalyptus. All in all, it's a spectacular Châteauneuf-du-Pape selling at $40-$45.
The Pizza: Roasted fennel with sausage and mozzarella
Roasting the fennel is key to bringing out the flavors. We had two small bulbs. We trimmed the stalks but reserved the fronds as a fresh herb. After peeling the bulbs, we shaved them about 1/4-inch thick using a small mandoline. We tossed the shaved fennel with a tablespoon of crushed fennel seeds, a tablespoon of olive oil, about 1 oz. of Pastis, and several firm grinds of sea salt and black pepper. We roasted the whole concoction on a baking sheet in 450°F oven for about 15 minutes, turning everything over once. Then we chopped up the feathery fronds and mixed them into the roasted fennel. By the way, above is a photo of the pizza fully assembled but uncooked. Below is a photo of how it looks when it's ready to serve.
dough for 16-inch pizza (see this post for recipe)
1/3 cup tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
2 bulbs fennel, roasted as above
6 oz. Italian sausage, removed from casings, crumbled, cooked, and drained
6 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut in very thin slices
2 Tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Set oven at 450°F.
Stretch out pizza dough and spread lightly with tomato sauce. Evenly distribute roasted fennel, then crumbled sausage. Distribute mozzarella slices evenly and sprinkle on grated cheese. When oven is heated, slide pizza in on top rack. Cook about 11 minutes.

In the spring of 2009, a group of local mothers birthed this run as a way to celebrate motherhood in a fun, active, family-friendly way — with a purpose. Originally this run benefited Adoption Mosaic, a local non-profit organization dedicated to supporting adoptive children and families in Oregon. When Adoption Mosaic closed its doors in 2015, it chose to pass the baton to Family Forward Action. After 2017's race, Family Forward Action felt the race would best benefit a local 501(c)3 non-profit, as it did originally. Mother & Child Education Center is grateful to have been chosen to keep this fun tradition alive & hopes to continually grow its impact in the community.
Our Mission @ Mother & Child Education Center:
We are an local 501(c)3 non-profit organization working with parents during pregnancy and children's early infancy years to build a community of competent and confident parents. Mother & Child offers connection, education, resources, and support to all parents in need – not restricting to income level or demographic – at no cost.

My Almond Bar recipe, aka Mandelkekse, is a great way to make lots of almond cookies easily. They look absolutely scrumptious and taste divine! Even though these are called "bar" cookies, they are made on a cookie sheet. The dough is formed into rolls that are flattened and then baked. The almond bars are then cut into cookies and iced.
One of the reasons I think I'm so in love with this recipe is almonds. There's almond flavoring in the icing. There're almonds on top. It's almost like a "marzipan high" for me! So German! So wunderbar!
Just be sure to cut them into cookies while the baked dough bars are still warm.
If you wait too long, they will crumble when you cut them.
This recipe for almond cookies has been a part of our German Christmas cookies collection for over 30 years. Even though they would be a treat on other special occasions as well, I like saving them, just for Christmas.
The origins for this cookie seems to be Scandinavia ... perhaps imported to Germany at some point? To me, that doesn't matter. It tastes so 'marzipan-y' to me ... WUNDERBAR!
