ACCA exams
P1, P2, P3 - your final test. How do you jump those hurdles?
Read a good newspaper There are so many 'real world' situations of corporate failures and scandals that relate to the topics on the syllabus. Understanding the issues from practical examples will give students a solid foundation for answering questions.
Understand how the topics are inter-related The compulsory question will be based on a case study and will cover several distinct tasks from more than one area of the syllabus, so understand how all areas are interconnected and that the paper is about having an understanding of how accounting contributes to and is underpinned by governance and ethics.
Corporate governance (part A) focuses on responsibility and accountability and how best practice governance recommends responsibility for risk management and internal control. Sound systems of internal control and risk management underpin all effective governance systems (parts B, C and D) and ethical assumptions underpin any profession and system of governance (part E).
Gain the professional marks (4-6 marks) These marks are not for the content of an answer but for how well the answer is presented in terms of structure, style, layout and logical flow. In the June paper these were awarded for layout, logical flow and persuasiveness of the statement.
How to pass P2
There are three key areas for passing P2 – groups, standards and current issues. A lot of the basics for groups come from F7. With a solid knowledge of the foundations of groups it's a much smaller step up to P2 group questions. Practising F7 group questions before you start your P2 studies is great preparation. Then it's practise, practise, practise!
The list of examinable standards is comprehensive and the thought of learning all those standards is not inviting. So rather than trying to 'rote learn' them you should gain the application knowledge that you need by practising questions. Again, basic F7 standards can start you off but you need to move to P2 past questions as quickly as possible. Quoting what the standard says is not enough on P2 – you need to apply and justify the treatment you are recommending for the transaction or event in question, linking this to the conceptual framework. As the examiner has stated: "There will be an increasing emphasis on the framework."
The first question is going to be a mix of these two key areas, so they warrant a lot of attention. The examiner expects all P2 students to be aware of current issues so it is essential that you read the accountancy press (Accountancy, Accounting and Business, PQ magazine) and review websites (ASB/IASB, FASB and ACCA, PQ magazine, etc).
How to pass P3
Understand the syllabus The December sitting will be the third exam for this new syllabus and, as a result, you must consider any new models that the examiner expects you to apply that have never been examined before. For example, you may be required to undertake a TOWS analysis (this is not a SWOT in reverse!) or apply the public sector portfolio matrix or the Ashridge Portfolio Display matrix. There are a number of 'new models' on this syllabus that you must be familiar with. It is also worth studying the V-Model, CMMI and the Cultural Web for the December exam. 'Old models' should also be considered that have not yet been examined on this new syllabus, such as Porter's National Diamond and Mendelow's matrix.
Manage your time Time management is a major problem for students with this paper, especially question 1. The length of the scenario's in section A and B are longer, on average, than the old 3.5 exam questions. There is no substitute for question practice and I would recommend that you attend a question-based revision course with a training provider who will set appropriate exam style questions examining the new models. To guarantee a pass, you must practise answering questions under exam conditions – without looking at the answer as you go along!
Planning your answers There are two approaches to answer planning: contents planning and structure planning. Structure planning your answer is crucial for ensuring that the contents you use from the scenario actually answer the question. Part of structure planning also requires you to consider the mark distribution for the question and ensure that the amount you write (and quality) relates to the marks allocated by the examiner. Make sure that your lecturers read some of your answers and give you appropriate feedback – or if you are on home study, appropriate feedback from your home-study provider.

Judging from this pre 1914 image of Commercial Street looking towards King Street the biggest change from today is the absence of motorised vehicles. Whilst the cyclists appear to be keeping to their own side of the road, the pedestrians seem to be pleasing themselves.
When the motor car arrived in Brighouse in sufficient numbers, the town centre policeman would be employed carrying out point duty on this crossroads. The policeman would arrive at his given time to carry out the traffic duty. His first action would be to hang his cape on a nail that was on the George Corner.
Quite often in the warmer weather the same town beat officer would hang his cape on the same nail and then patrol the town centre for a couple of hours. He would then make his way back to his cape where he would find it just where he left it. If the weather was really bad it would be a common sight to see the policeman standing on an orange box, with white gloves, directing the traffic.
Structurally little else has changed on this photograph compared with today. The George Hotel is still there, the White Swan has gone but the building still stands, now as the home of Lloyds Bank. On the opposite corner is the Central Cafe which would later be transformed into the Tate's Corner, the drapers and clothiers. It then became part of the Brighouse Co-op, as the menswear department. I am sure many readers will remember these familiar names of staff in this department: Jack Bray, Clifford Sutcliffe and in later years John Jolley. Time does did not stand still following the demise of the Co-op M&Co arrived soon after which brought a breath of new life into that corner once again.
One of the big differences from those pre First World War days of visiting the town centre was no one was in a hurry. Unlike today when everyone is in a hurry. A favourite saying you often hear today seems to be 'I haven't time, I'm busy'. It is almost a competition to see who can be the busiest.

Womens Gym
I am Kalyani. I am 51 years old. I was searching for a women's gym in Bangalore. When I saw the gym near my house, I felt so happy. I found my "Contours" – the exclusive women's gym. I am a member of R.T Nagar Contours for the past five years. The gym's environment and facilities is very enabling. The gym workouts helped in improving my overall health, especially to burn calories to control my diabetes and keep fit. The regular work out offers a sense of being fit which is essential for my hectic life style as a working woman. The management and staff are supportive and helpful. While the gym provides the facilities and space for us to do our workouts, I realized over the last 5 years that we also need to be disciplined in our diet and exercise routines to get the maximum benefit.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It takes place in 1879 in London, mostly in the theater world.
London, 1879
Forced to Leave All She Loves Behind, She Seeks a New Life in a City Bursting with Opportunity, But Fraught with Danger
When a series of circumstances beyond her control leaves Rosalyn Bernay alone and penniless in London, she chances upon a job backstage at a theater putting on the most popular show in the city. A talented musician and singer, she feels immediately at home and soon becomes enthralled with the idea of pursuing a career on the stage. That is, as long as the shadows from her past don't catch up with her.
After a hand injury forces Nate Moran from his army regiment in India, he returns home to London, a place that holds bitter memories. He agrees to fill in temporarily as a stagehand while his brother recuperates from a broken leg, but Nate is counting down the days until he can rejoin his regiment. His future is decided–until he meets a beautiful woman who has found a new lease on life in the very place Nate yearns to leave behind.
Although I've read history about the Globe theater in Shakespeare's day, I'd never read about the theater in a more "modern" time (just about 140 years ago!). I found the details about the shows fascinating as the theater was producing HMS Pinafore – a musical still known today. There's a scene with Gilbert and Sullivan working out the details of their next show and words from some of the songs are in the book both of which getting me thinking of those tunes! A lot of the action revolves around backstage – costumes and lighting and sets as Rosalyn is hired first as a cleaning lady and then as a dresser and Nate is working as a stagehand. I also enjoyed the referencing to George Mueller's orphanage and his beliefs/actions. I've heard of him, so to have his orphanage play a pivotal part in the lives of the characters and seeing how it influenced them really intrigued me.
There were just so many details of London life woven around a great story of love and forgiveness and the grace of God that I found this book captivating and look forward to reading the next one by this author, about Rosalyn's sister Julia! I highly recommend it! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I am freely writing a review – all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Last spring I ran a seminar on the contemporary Catholic imagination in America, and at the end I asked my students to write about their own religious imaginations. One found a surprise: she discovered she had a religious imagination. But she shouldn't have been surprised: everyone has onea set of images (sights, smells, touches, sounds, tastes) that uniquely embody God and religion for that person. Cultures have religious imaginations too, and in The Poets' Jesus, Peggy Rosenthal, lecturer, retreat-giver, and Ph.D. in English, explores poetic portraits of Jesus in many cultures, especially in the 20th century. She imagines changing cultural contexts as stage sets, noting where Jesus is placed on stage, what costumes he wears, what roles he plays, and who or what else is out there with him. Wonderfully, she also revels in the poems themselves and in their ability to touch a reader.
The first chapter, Jesus Christ and More, is a whirlwind 20-page survey of 18 centuries: Jewish-Christian hymns in Paul and John; early Eastern praises (Christ as celestial milk out-pressed from a young bride's fragrant breasts, as holding all creation in His womb); Western poems in Latin and Anglo-Saxon (Christ as shepherd and Tree). Jesus is allegorized (Hildegard of Bingen, Dante), humanized (the Franciscan tradition), a baroque lover (John of the Cross, sonneteers in New Spain and France), a contemporary German (Luther), a presence in the poet's soul (the Metaphysicals), a self-discoverer (Milton), a Chinese sage (Zhang Xingyao), a teacher of morals (the Enlightenment), a dear Redeemer (Pietism).
The second chapteragain a survey, but not as breathlesslooks at 19th-century Romanticism. Beginning with Mary Ann Evans's (George Eliot's) refusal to go to church in 1842, it examines the century's swirling personal/philosophical/religious currents that focused on the individual self. Poets swirled in those currents too, as the century between 1770 and 1870 (Goethe to Renan) linked theology and poetry and proclaimed the Poet as Seer. Writing more of Jesus than of Christ, Goethe (who believed him divine) and others (who didn't) found Jesus in glade and storm, on lofty mountaintop and in poetic creativity. Blake found him in reintegrated humans, as an artist, as the Resurrection & the Life, and as the Lord, the Universal Humanity. Emerson found everyone as divine as Jesus. Whitman found him the great egalitarian, and everyone was more divine than God. Others were more conventionally Christian: in Germany, Annette Droste-Hülshoff linked self and nature with Sunday Gospel texts, and in England Felicia Hemans esteemed mountain solitude as a place to pray like Jesus in inviolate stillness.
The seven later chapters, the heart of the book, study the 20th century's movements and cultures. Modernism's Jesus is pale and shrunkenfor Arthur Hugh Clough, sadly unresurrected; for Baudelaire, wimpishly abandoning humans to the Devil's corruption; for Rubén Darío, ruefully ceding to a pagan Pan; for Pound and Eliot, part of a wrecked civilization; for the Dane Ole Wivel and the Russian Vladimir Lvov, regrettably just a human. A chapter on Arabic poetry the voice of society's soul offers an archetypal Christ: a great prophet, sufferer for the people, risen life-giver and mythic figure like Tammuz, Adonis, Ishtar and the Palestinian martyrs.
In other chapters, postmodernism's Jesus is disillusioned (empty mouth, unspeaking eyes). Africa's Jesus is politicized (Lord God, forgive white Europe). The West's Jesus is absentdesired but missing (a neon cross flat as a movie screen showing a striptease). Sometimes Jesus is between absence and presencehe's present, we're absent (When they were driving in the nails/ I listened to a steel guitar). Sometimes he is Jesus Presentyet more an incarnational presence than a Gospel-person (a Presence...in her own bones).
As I read the book, I rejoiced, I bounced in my steps, I flung out hosannas (I usually don't bounce or fling hosannas). Why? The Poets' Jesus offers featherlight learning, fresh poets (Hungary, New Zealand, Korea, Germany, Chile, Syria), bright comparisons, clear summaries, apt examples, fresh insights: Twentieth-century poets came to know that placing the person of Jesus in the spotlight on center stage would be to risk sending most of their audience nervously toward the exits. With a keen sense of each poet's intellectual and theological context, Rosenthal not only probes the religious imagination but also studiesfrom obviously fresh sourcesthe history of theology and the history of belief. She expresses both the simple importance of Christ/Jesus and the iconic centrality of the cross. In doing so she takes seriously both content and imagery: a brisk antidote to the excesses of theory.
A short book, The Poets' Jesus is brilliant in taking two limited areaspoetry and the figure of Jesusand turning their intersection into a grand survey of intellectual history and the history of belief. And an initial surprisehow each writer or culture makes Jesus into a self-imagefast grows into wonderment: how the self-mirroring or culture-reflecting Jesus is really history's lovely re-incarnating of the incarnation.
The subtitle is apt; for reading, for thinking, even for meditating. The Poets' Jesus is a millennial book.

Why Kitbash an Iron Knight Tank? This baby is a classic from the end of the vintage era GI Joe and I didn't want to lay a single exacto on it. I did however want a german tank very badly and needed something for my first large diorama. So I got out the tape, cardboard and hangers and kitbashed away. Not to worry, the Iron Knight is still under all that without a scratch!
GERMAN MARK IV TANK This was my very first "customization". As you can see from my Sunny Smile conversion pages, my efforts got bolder and bolder. I still like this conversion, but wouldn't dare harm a vintage piece unless it was already damaged. As for Sunny Smile tanks? Cut away!
A couple pictures of my kitbashed tank in the first large outdoor diorama I ever did.

my thanksgiving was vomitlicious, yours?
Friends, I am on a two-week lag. I've had proto-posts on a number of subjects floating around the ether (and sometimes my computer). Such is being busy at work, it makes the day go much faster, but no time to hash out my blog posts. I work; you suffer. I suffer too. Who benefits? Follow the money.
So, pretend this bit was posted a little more promptly:
Well, I hope everyone's Thanksgiving went well. Mine was cool except for the horrible, horrible illness I fell under. I like to call it, "unintentional bulimia." You see, I had imbibed a few too many of the adult beverages on Wednesday night – the repercussions of which I felt in spades, my friends, in spades. I am getting old, you know, but I still like I'm not so feeble so as to be knocked out of commission by the prior night's activities. My theory is that I was poisoned by some ill-willing arch-nemesis that I don't even know about yet. It's was probably meant to be deadly, but I'm really tough, you know? As it was, I was so sick that I contemplated skipping ALL the Thanksgiving festivities. But, I sucked it up and went to my sister's house for din-din. Upon arrival, around 3 p.m., I immediately had to cut off my aunt's chat about VCR-setting problems and run to a bathroom to "talk to Ralph on the big white phone."
This abrupt trip to a foreign bathroom was like the 800th time I had thrown up in the previous 12 hours. It was really a lot of fun. The thing about puking is that it really shocks the abs. If you do it right, you're cutting calories AND working on a killer 6-pack. Actually, I wasn't cutting any calories because it was no longer food, just the ginger ale or whatever I happened to be keeping down those past 10 minutes. To answer the question that's on your mind, I'd say, not a lot. I had maybe 6 or 7 drinks. A couple were shots in celebration of my buddy's birthday, but that was it. Like I said - poison! In the end, I was able to hold down a few bites of food, but I had to take my turkey leg to go.

This is a story with a very high pun content, so let's burn off some excess wordplay so we don't lard up the story.
OK ... There's always something cooking at the TV Food Network. It's TV that's hot and getting hotter. No matter how you slice or dice it, the TV Food Network is food for thought. Or, to quote overcooked star Robin Leach, "It's the greatest idea since sliced bread."
Actually, the Food Network's ubiquitous slogan claims it's "always delicious," but that's assuming everyone's viewing tastes gravitate toward recipes and restaurants.
With more than 13 million subscribers to date--twice the number it began with in November, 1993--it's clear I'm not alone.
Although its production values are decidedly low-tech, the Food Network has a full menu of choices.
There's "Food News & Views," a live, nightly newscast with Donna Hanover Giuliani (first lady of New York City) and food and wine critic David Rosengarten as anchors; "Getting Healthy," a call-in show with Gayle Gardner and Dr. Louis J. Aronne; "TV Diners," which looks at hot restaurants around the country; "The Essence of Emeril" with New Orleans master chef Emeril Lagasse serving up Cajun and Creole dishes; "Meals Without Meat," with cookbook author Curtis Aikens; "The Dessert Show" starring cookie queen Debbi Fields; the timely and practical "Feeding Your Family on $99 a Week" as well as the inspired if frothy "How to Boil Water," with stand-up comic Sean Donnellan. (Although most of the network's programming is original, it also runs such classic cooking shows as "Julia Child & Company.")

Yes, practically any individual nowadays can have Immediate Background Check at his/her disposal 24/7.
Background examination databases are the collection of information about the past of people. There are various situations under which a background check can be of use. Generally, if there is chance or need to think that info supplied about someone's background is questionable, the most effective point to do is just to conduct an examine simply that – a background check.
Background examinations are getting to be a standard technique in worker relation both at recruitment as well as on-going worker matters such as promo, reassignment and various other profession positionings. They are now mandatory in work or volunteer screening for many positions of arrest warrant search count on especially those involving the unwell, disabled, senior and children and sensitive consultations like secret service, safety and security and enforcement.
The variety of background checks is as vast as that of their possible uses. However, they're usually fixated a particular group of public records such as criminal, marital relationship, birth, divorce, death etc depending on the certain function available.

417. overseas
Great-grandma (Baby Doo) stayed in her cabin
all the way to Le Havre, she was feeling poorly,
little darlin, while the boys in their navy-blue blazers
drank the goddam bars dry, thank the Lord they brought
some bottles of bourbon: these English yoicks
didn't know what happened them. Har-har.
Damn won the war and lost the peace, stiff as penguins,
frozen rabbits caught in headlights. All them
Europeans look pretty much the same, have to say,
dessicated bunch of flightless flapping parrots.
Damn right I'll have another drink.
Darkness at sea under stars
is one of the finest things I know.
Baby Doo got sick on the train to Paris,
threw up all over Barbara Wainwright, who smiled
in a testy Quaker way, East Pennsylvania, and said,
My Lord, I should have opened that window,
but they all just damn well laughed, and she felt,
not for the first time, virginal, foolish, set apart,
alien and separate from her fellow Americans,
like Virgil who was playing with the zip on his pants
and Amelia who was lifting her skirts too high.
It was all very strange and unsettling.
I'll be happy when I get to Paris, she thought,
far away from these clowns, deep into a world of culture,
and then at last I will be free. No more Mama and Papa
leaning heavily down on me. I need to write to my sister
who hates and loves me in agony and young resentment.
This strangely gives me strength. Virgil seems to have
a cucumber behind that zip but I turn my eyes away,
sort of, is this what it is really going to be like? My
God, do I really have to get married and … allow it?
I can't live alone, not really, so this penetration, this
unwelcome violation is going to happen and come to me?
I want to be a young girl forever without any damn silly man
here in Paris and Europe for the first and last time, and, maybe,
who knows, I might die. It's very fashionable to die young,
but I'm not too sure about it. It seems a bit dark and final.
I might pretend to die for a bit so that people get worried,
but it costs a lot, and my father will complain about the bills.
He's a red-faced burly businessman and he scares me to hell
but I know he loves me and will throw money all over me
while my mother looks on from behind, tight-lipped and silent
and my young sister, dancing in frustration, glares.
Within twenty-four hours of arrival I am ashamed to confess
I have been violated, not once but two or three times, vigorously,
by a young artist and I confess I enjoyed it. Of course he is American,
from a rather good family, not one of the natives, from Philadelphia,
he says he knows some of my cousins. Between physical bouts
we talk about family trees. He is terribly misunderstood, poor boy,
and I feel it is my duty to gather him into the arms of Home, as only
a Real Woman can do. I am rather enjoying my role as a Real Woman
since it is new and feels rather nice among the sights and smells
of this strange, uxurious, and scented spreading city.
Home, home, home, little boy. I'll break you,
take you home to Murrica soon as I can.

Zaporizhia, Ukraine
This is from the big groups RR. The city of Zaporizhia is located on the banks of the Dnieper River (shown on the card) in southeastern Ukraine. The area has been inhabited for around three thousand years, starting with Scythian nomads, who left behind anthropomorphic stelae - stone images carved to honor the dead. In the 16th-18th centuries, the island of Khortytsiya in the middle of the Dnieper provided a base for an "impenetrable fortress" for the Cossacks. Today, Zaporizhia is an important industrial city which houses a major auto manufacturing company and a large hydroelectric power plant.
The sender had almost no space to write as most of the back of the card was covered with stamps.
A definitive from 2007 showing a penny whistle.
The stamp in the bottom left corner is from 2005 and features Independence Square. Then there are two airplanes from a 2004 joint issue with Iran. The one on the top right is really cool: the 90th anniversary of the first postage stamps of Ukraine! Yes, it is a stamp depicting a stamp, in the denomination of 20 shahs. Issued in 2008.

This group of minis will add real spirit to the table and be assured of rolling fist fulls of sixes whenever needed.


text: Today was yet another sick day for Kylie. We were running out of things to do in this house, so my friend Cristin suggested working on some crafts. We decided to make an autumn Thanksgiving tree. Each leaf represents something that Kylie says she is thankful for. I'm not sure which one of us enjoyed this more – Kylie cutting and pasting or me laughing at some of her crazy answers. See if you can pick a few favorites too 🙂

Here she is today, her sweet, joyful self. She's laughing at Mr. Squeaky, a squeaky duck toy she has. She always smiles when she sees me smile, but when my face is hidden by a camera, she often stares deadpan. But Mr. Squeaky off to my left did the trick. Cutie girl.
Just a couple days ago, her big accomplishment was pulling up to her knees on the kitchen desk chair...
And now she's pulling up to her feet in her crib!
We lowered her mattress the other night, to be on the safe side.
I'm tempted to compare with Kate sleeping through the night by one month (and Claire did too at one month, but then needed to eat more!) but Matt always gave Kate a dream feed before he came to bed at 11 or so, so what felt to me like a 11-hour sleep was made possible by that bottle feed.
Happy nine months, Clairey-Bear!

Candice Huffine and Laura Catterall prove that plsu size girls can wear prints too in Marina Rinaldi's S/S 13 ad campaign. They look pretty hot if you ask me. I was finally able to visit a Marina Rinaldi store when I went to Monaco. It was divine. I think there is one in New York City. I might have to check that out the next time I am in the city. Click here for a video and the rest of the campaign.

Plus Size Models Grace The Cover Of Vogue Italia
Plus size models Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley, grace this Steven Miesel Vogue Italia cover.This cover is so beautiful. I know some people will probably have a problem with plus size models being seen half naked and around food again, but the cover is so beautiful. I am so happy to see plus size models on the cover of a MAYJAH fashion magazine. As always, thought? Photo from Models.com.

"I was with friends, doing a cycle challenge. I fell from my bike smashing my helmet, arm and head, into a road kerbside at over 30 mph. I was airlifted from the scene and taken to critical care (it would take a week to be downgraded to intensive care). I was induced into a coma at the site after two epileptic seizures, bleeding on the brain, breaking my arm in 13 places and swallowing my tongue. I would be in a coma for a month and hospital for nearly five months.
In hospital I had 10 hours a week of physio learning how to walk again. Sometimes all I did was scream but it did help. I did hydrotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy for eight months which taught me how not to speak like an over excited squeaky five year old. I needed to be lifted by an electric chair into a bath for nearly three months. Even after that putting belts on trousers or tying laces on shoes was impossible and I needed to be helped with most things. Facing all this after a traumatic brain injury, a coma, amnesia and a broken shoulder was hard.
When I first left hospital and moved back home I wanted to go back to work. I just thought my problem was my arm hurting so I didn't really understand the challenges I would face. Things like, walking, crowds, cooking, keeping appointments, dealing with money, needing two people to help me use stairs, problems remembering pin numbers or passwords, getting around without a driving licence for two years, and failing an eye test all caused massive problems! Although I had left hospital I was still an outpatient and had not yet achieved full recovery.
Then I discovered the WEA (Workers' Educational Association) and started doing some research for their new project. I went to different branches and met great people who talked about lots of different things. I even managed to make it onto one of their international trips after a few months. Looking back the medical people involved must have been surprised at the progress. At first my life had been put on five minutes' notice and my family told to say goodbye to me. I just kept going though. No compromise. No negotiation. I used to tell myself, "Just do whatever it takes, keep going". There were setbacks, trips and falls but the whole time I had my eye on the prize of discharge as an outpatient.
With the WEA I went from researching, to helping plan an international trip, to going on it, then I even did presentations for different branches about it all. It was real fun, especially when compared to the challenge of learning to walk again. Most importantly though, I got shown where the WEA volunteer biscuits were kept! After four months of volunteering, the WEA gave a three page report of my involvement to my occupational therapist who I had been seeing for two years. A week later I got discharged from occupational therapy - I was getting close now!
Two months later I introduced my WEA co-ordinator to my NHS consultant. The WEA co-ordinator and my consultant quickly became on a first name basis and emailed each other about my progress. I was delighted that the WEA could give my consultant detailed updates of how I was doing - I hope the biscuits were not discussed though. So projects with WEA finished and new areas of involvement with WEA began to emerge. I just kept going, doing whatever I had to do now I was on the home straight.
Then in the Summer it happened. I did it. 35 months after my accident I got discharged as an outpatient and the WEA helped me. The day after I went to my old ward with cakes and cards. The medical staff recognised me and called me by my name - oh wow. I punched the air with my arm that I'd broken and said "I did it, I got discharged". They smiled. And that is my story of victory - for me, for the medical staff and for the WEA.
Everyone has problems at different levels; it could be life, employment, society or an accident. Accept the changes and adapt – then it is just a change you are adapting to and you will, gradually. No matter what your issues, stay positive, focused, motivated, determined, honest, adaptable and reflective and with help, support, time and patience you will make progress and get better. You will be different to the person you were before; your job is to accept it and adapt. Your recovery, whatever the issue is just that… yours! So do whatever you have to do and Good luck!"

Experience the precise look, feel and tone of one of the rarest guitars in history.
Collector's Choice #17 1959 Les Paul Serial Number 9-1062, aka "Louis" is the go-to companion of Kieth Nelson, founding member of Southern California rock band Buckcherry, making it a familiar voice to a loyal fan base that spans the globe. After thirty years cautiously tucked away in a private collection, "Louis" was put back on the front lines as an everyday workhorse for both studio and stage when Nelson fell in love with its unique, classic Les Paul tone. Through a longtime friend and vintage guitar broker, Nelson had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put six original 1959 Les Pauls through their paces, pouring over each one's weight, feel, and, most importantly, its sound. In the end, he found his Les Paul tone in "Louis" and it's been a non-stop partnership ever since. From Buckcherry's 2013 release Confessions to every live show since, Nelson and "Louis" can be seen and heard almost nightly.
One of the very few original 1959 Les Pauls in existence and a fine example of an instrument that's been well-preserved throughout a lifetime of use (and counting), Gibson Custom has reproduced "Louis" in precise detail, from the original guitar's softly faded burst and lightly aged finish to its individual tone and neck profile. As is the case with the all Collector's Choice guitars, great lengths have been gone to in order to recapture the rare individuality of a very exceptional piece of history, and in this case, a well-travelled and often heard guitar. From digital scanning to audio testing to the unique skills of Gibson's Custom craftspeople, no detail is left unattended, resulting in a masterful recreation of a specific 1959 Les Paul, offering a few collector's and players the chance to experience the look, feel and sound at a very rare piece.

I can't believe I'm on day 4 of the 5 day Black and White Photograph Challenge where for 5 days you share a monochrome photograph…..
I am trying to post a very diverse selection of images over the five days, so far a reflection, some textures and street 'art'.
Today a fairly high key fading tulip:
I am not going to manage to nominate everyone whose black and white images I would like to see! Today I would like to nominate Cybele of 'There was a Time', who has a very mystical mood to many of her images. I know she participates in Monochrome Madness, so feel sure she can give us some stunning black and white for 5 days.

Ronald Charles Mapstone, 88, of Lock Haven, passed away peacefully at home on Nov. 28, 2017 surrounded by his loving family.
The son of James and Elizabeth Mapstone, he is predeceased by his parents, his sisters Evelyn Lynn, Mary Brown, Beatsy Dale; brothers, James and A. Blaine.
He is survived by his loving and loyal wife of 70 years Anna Marie (Randecker), his children; Jeffrey (Linda) of Rochester, N.Y., Sherry (Ron) Haffley of Lock Haven, Steven of Mill Hall, and his sister Betty Sharpe of Cicero, N.Y.
Pap, as he was known to his family treasured his eight grandchildren, Mark, Craig, David, Lesley, Maria, Michael, Janell, and Christian. He was also blessed with 16 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
In his work life, "Mappy" was a carpenter by trade, and also worked early on in construction. He spent time building the St. Lawrence Seaway which was a job that he was especially proud to be part of. He spent another 30 years building planes at Piper Aircraft; he worked for Rockwell in Columbus on the B1-B Bomber, and finally finishing up at Schweitzer in N.Y.
He had many life-long friends from work, was a member of the Renowned Black Knights Drum and Bugle Corps and, a proud lifetime member of the local 182 Elks Club. In his free time he enjoyed wood working, hunting and fishing.
Over the last 25 years his real passion was being with his family and learning about what each grandchild was doing and following their pursuits. He travelled all across Pa. and N.Y. watching his kids play sports. He never missed a soccer or lacrosse game. He was known to all, players, coaches, and parents and his wonderful sense of humor would not let you forget him.
Our family would like to thank the nurses at the VNA and other caretakers for their excellent care and comfort they provided over this last year.
In lieu of flowers please support the Shriners Children's Fund or your favorite charity.

|From Taiwan 2008
Yesterday evening was my first training after arriving in Taiwan, at the Taipei Kendokan. Not so many people turned up, because it was a Monday, however, I had a good practice, and recieved very valuable advices from Mr. Dai-Lin Chang (張代林), 5th Dan.
Some advices he gave me:
- He asked me to extend my right arm farther forwards in order to gain an extra distance. It makes a lot of difference indeed.
- He also encouraged me to push my hips more when doing kote-men.
There was a lady I-Chi Liao (廖依綺) who is probably 2-3rd Dan, whom I had a chance to do jigeiko with. I was surprised by how fast she was and the pressure she put forward.
Though only 6 people were at the training, it was a good starter for me, and I am already excited by how much I can learn in the forth-coming years.

Students are noticed and celebrated for their strengths and lovingly encouraged in their weaknesses. Our aim is that they will grow in confidence and take ownership in their educational journey and as young, growing students.
TUTORING PROGRAMAt Timberlake After School, we provide a unique opportunity for free tutoring for students who may need extra help with their homework, a specific concept or subject they are studying in school. Knowing that each student has unique educational needs, our highly qualified tutoring teachers will design an Individual Tutoring Plan (ITP) based upon observed needs by the student's parents, school teacher and TAS teachers. Students will typically be tutored twice a week in a 1:1 or 2:1 student to teacher ratio. Weekly updates in addition to work samples are sent to parents to keep open communication of progress and continued needs.
CLUBSClubs give children a chance to sharpen their academic and social skills through a variety of themed activities. Students have a blast engaging with their teachers and peers in the unique club of the day. Our clubs are well-rounded and a different club is offered every day of the week. We also alter clubs every month in order to give students an opportunity to explore a variety of academic subjects, active games, sports, art, music, cooking and more! Each of our clubs provides students a chance to be a part of a group and create a sense of ownership within TAS. Check out our monthly academic calendar to learn about our current club offerings.

Here at Soul Sister Nosh we know that headline is a big loud bold statement and we love it.
The Best Solution to Healthy Snacking EVER!
It's so good we just had to type it again.
And the thing that makes the statement even bigger than big is this…
It's actually a testimonial.
Nope, we didn't make that testimonial up about our products….(that's illegal)
Who did make that testimonial?
The Best Solution to Healthy Snacking EVER!
– Sommer Louise
That was a hint 🙂
Sommer Louise, the creative inspiring coach behind the successful company She is Fierce & Fabulous made that testimonial about Soul Sister Nosh.
You can see for yourself right here in this video interview with Sommer.
If you don't know Sommer yet, you should.
Sommer is knowledgeable about nutrition, the body, health and wellbeing, fitness training and mindset….
…and there's more.
She is a writer, blogger, published author and there's even more…
Sommer walks the talk everyday.
This story blew the Soul Sister Nosh team away
Putting aside The Best Solution to Healthy Snacking EVER! testimonial (only for a few seconds).
Here's one thing the Soul Sister Nosh team found out about Sommer a few days back and were blown away.
On Sommer's blog, check out the About page.
In the pictures you'll see Sommer the body builder.
But get this.
She didn't do it only to get into competition.
She hated being on the body building stage.
She didn't do it for narcissism.
She didn't do it to look great (she always does)
She did it for this reason ONLY…
…so she could clearly understand the mindset of a body builder to help out one of her clients.
Now that is one tough lady you want in your corner.
Am I right?
You bet!
And that's what makes the testimonial about Soul Sister Nosh products bigger than big
It was made by a leader in the health and wellbeing industry who is admired by many, has helped many and will help many more.
The Best Solution to Healthy Snacking EVER! (we just had to type it again)

In lieu of a recent thread of cyber threats – like yesterday's OpUSA threats of Distributed Denial of Service – it's critical to make sure your credit union's cloud computing system is secure.
Join in on Jeramie Stoner's webinar, "FFIEC Guidance on Cloud Computing: Considerations for Credit Unions" on Tuesday, May 21 from 2-3:30 p.m. Central Time.
While cloud computing serves as an attractive option for many credit unions from a technology and cost standpoint, it's important to assess the risks and security, which can be time-consuming and take away from the convenience of such a system.
Stoner will explore the security concerns credit unions need to consider when evaluating cloud solutions, as well as how to assess them. Credit union decision makers who are currently using or are considering using a cloud-computing model in which all or part of the service is outsourced are encouraged to register for this webinar.
To register or learn more, please visit www.tcul.coop/online_training.html.
For additional assistance, contact Training & Events at (800) 442-5762 ext. 6630 or email@example.com.

Hwy 89 deserves a lot more time than we've given it! Turk seems to be healing well except that we're still dealing with a continued infection at one spot on his incision.Delete

I do hope that your hometown vet can get little Turk back to 100%.Replies
