Castrol Contractor Special is a lithium complex grease that contains 3% molybdenum disulfide. These solid additives help Castrol Contractor Special maintain barrier lubrication and film strength during extremes of high loads, severe shocks, high temperatures and oscillating motion.
Castrol Fifth Wheel Grease has been designed specifically for fifth wheel applications where stay-in-place performance is critical under all weather and application conditions. Fifth wheels typically experience extreme fretting, which is defined as the removal of finely divided metal particles from rubbing surfaces due to oscillation, sliding, or vibration. Castrol Fifth Wheel Grease rises to the challenge in multiple fifth wheel applications with maximum stay-in-place performance. Its graphite/moly formulation and high percent of tackifiers give it a true affinity for metal surfaces. The tacky tenacious properties of the Castrol Fifth Wheel Grease coupled with 10% lubricating solids further enables this grease to provide outstanding adhesion to fifth wheels in even the toughest operating conditions.
Castrol Pyroplex Blue maintains mobility while building tack and adhesion when faced with water contamination. This Hydro- Activated™ technology helps Castrol Pyroplex Blue resist softening and washout when exposed to wet conditions on a continued basis. Castrol Pyroplex Blue users can expect optimum equipment performance when using this grease.
Castrol Pyroplex Gold provides the ultimate protection against wear for critical equipment. A semi-synthetic, extreme pressure grease, Castrol Pyroplex Gold contains more than 20% solids, including 6% molybdenum disulfide, to give equipment a protective lubricant barrier against wear, even during conditions of high load.
Castrol Pyroplex Red is a high temperature, EP, lithium complex grease that meets the highest performance standards of automotive, fleet, industrial, farm and off-highway applications. Its ability to withstand extreme high temperatures makes it a particularly good grease for use with disc brake wheel bearings. It is highly dependable in a variety of machines and applications.
Castrol Pyroplex Protection ES is a specially formulated synthetic, lithium complex grease designed for extended service performance in challenging on-highway applications. Its unique inhibitor additive system provides maximum protection against rust, oxidation and corrosion. When performance is challenged in severe corrosive environments, Castrol Pyroplex Protection ES not only resists rust and corrosion, but provides unmatched protection, for moving parts reducing component wear and promoting longer equipment and lubricant life. Its inherent flow properties across wide temperature ranges make Pyroplex Protection ES ideal for automatic lubrication systems on mobile equipment.
Castrol Pyroplex Protection ES is an extension of Castrol's exclusive hydro-activation technology coupled with a lithium complex thickener, tackifiers, corrosion inhibitors, proprietary additives and carefully selected synthetic base fluids, that provides corrosion resistance, extreme pressure performance, and "stay-in-place" ability with outstanding mobility through all seasons.
Castrol SHL 00 is a semi-fluid synthetic (PAO) lubricant that can be used for the lubrication of truck wheel hub assemblies where minimal leakage is desired and long service life is essential. Castrol SHL 00 can help alleviate oil leakage from wheel seals that can damage brake shoes, increase maintenance costs and affect the overall safety of the unit. Castrol SHL 00 can be utilized in many types of wheel end systems designed for oil and many systems using conventional greases.
Castrol SHL 00 is formulated with a Lithium Complex thickener for exceptional service life, synthetic (PAO) base stocks for low and high temperature performance and stability, and is fortified with extreme pressure and anti-wear additives for extended bearing life.
Castrol SHL 00 can also be used in certain industrial, quarry, mining or construction applications where a semi-fluid synthetic lubricant is recommended.

When in Rome
A little over a thousand years ago, the Romans chased Alba's inhabitants off of their little hill and across the River Escoutay. They built an outpost of their empire on the plain below the village, which became a thriving city, with a forum, luxurious homes, a temple, baths, and a 3,000-seat theater.
No one knows why the Roman city disappeared and Alba's inhabitants moved back up onto their hill; nor can anyone say just how long it took for the earth to swallow up the old city. We do know that once it had been lost, it took centuries to find again.
The theater was excavated and partially restored in the mid-twentieth century. Now, every summer, the Alba circus festival hosts shows there. On long summer evenings, there's no need for lights - the theater was designed so that the sun fills it with soft light without blinding the players. The acoustics are grand, as long as they remember to chase the frogs out of the canal that runs behind the stage before the show starts.
Saturday night, seated on giant volcanic stones warmed all day by the sun, while we waited for La Compagnie XY to perform their acrobatic show "Le Grand C," we wondered what it must have been like when the theater was more than a majestic ghost of its former self, when the stands were covered and the canal played host to miniature naval battles. But when the acrobats sped nimbly onto the stage and began to scale, swing, spin, and toss each other against a backdrop of sunset and vineyards, the hour of pure grace more than made up for all that time had swallowed up.

It was supposed to be a 'Super Saturday', but didn't turn out one.
England and Australia were playing their first Group A round-robin league match against each other and given their rivalry (Ashes and otherwise) it promised to be one cracker of a game. But for some reason, the Aussie side that turned up for this clash was far from what we are accustomed to see for last so many years. They simply lacked fire.
England sporting their new red jerseys, looking fresh in new colors batted first and posted 269/6 with Ian Bell playing a superb innings of 91. This was a decent score on that track but nothing of the size that can seemingly intimidate the Australians. But it did.
When the Aussies came out to chase, there was no intent to go about it. Batting included, during the whole match, one just didn't find the glimpse of aggression that is so native to Australian. They went about their business in a manner that is so unlike them. The zeal, the hunger to win was somewhat missing. Yes, the Haydens, the Gilchrists, the McGrawths and the Warnes don't play the game anymore but the Australian body language has to have successors who can keep the attitude of these champion cricketers alive.
More than the loss, it was disappointing to see the manner in which they lost. They sure can fight better than this.
Australia play New Zealand next in Edgbaston on Wednesday and this is a good opportunity for them to come in their own. More so because these are two sides who have always been fighting it out against each other and thus aggression naturally makes its way into the contest. This may well be the catalyst that Australia need to get going.
They are a strong side, with multiple match winners. It's only the famous Aussie attitude that they need to rediscover and there on they'll be a side to watch out for.

MINISTER of State in the President's Office, Regional Administration and Local Government, Mr Selemani Jafo has counselled trade unions leaders to invest the workers' monthly deductions instead of channeling them in administrative and operation cost.
He made the remarks here yesterday when launching Tanzania Local Government Workers Union (TALGWU) Microfinance Public Limited Company in which members were allowed to buy shares.
"Use 25 per cent of the monthly two per cent of workers deductions to invest so that the members can benefit instead of using the whole amount on administration and operation," said Mr Jafo.
He said some trade union performance is not that much impressive as he commended Talgwu for spending wisely the workers' contributions by investing 49 per cent in the Microfinance and the remaining amount for operational costs.
Mr Jafo said most trade union leaders particularly the General Secretaries have been embezzling the workers' contributions and when their office terms expired they set up new workers unions to gain money.
"Trade union leaders should do soul searching on how you service the members, and much more, where did their monthly contributions go?" queried Mr Jafo.
He added that the majority of the retirees die early since they did not invest enough and pensions are not enough. Thus they should be given an opportunity to invest in microfinance, then, they would have a wide range of avenues.
He was against the current system whereas the financial control is under the secretariat only and workers do not get feedback on how their contributions are spent.
The minister gave an example of the Teachers Trade Union which has invested in real estate which is a living feature of the members contributions.
He cautioned that members must know how they will benefit from the investment after retirement. He said Talgwu, apart from registering on the stock market, should go further and look into the possibility of setting up industries as well.
Managing Director of Talgwu Microfinance Public Limited Company, Mr Jackson Ngalama said they are determined to improve the welfare of their 58,000 members.
He said floating of the shares for sale is intended to increase its capital by earning 6bn/-. This means each member can buy a minimum of 50 shares which are sold at 1,000/- each.

Hi Dan;
Why did you choose angle headers? Especially if for use in a breadboard, which needs maximum support for the switch integral in the encoder.....?
There must be a good reason (you wouldn't have done it that way otherwise) - so I'm intrigued!
Hi Dave, good question. You can choose which ever headers you like! It only ships as the bare board(headers and encoder sold separately). But in this case I plan to suspended it from the front face of an enclosure with 4 screws next to an LCD display. So I was just going for more clearance with the right angle headers, that's all.

The lawyer for an Ohio suspect accused of keeping a mentally disabled woman and her daughter as slaves and threatening them with deadly snakes, says his client is innocent and the alleged victim was free to come and go as she pleased.
The alleged victim, a 29-year-old woman, claims she was kept against her will by three suspects in their home outside Cleveland, Ohio, beginning in late 2011, forced to do housework without pay and monitored around the clock to keep her from escaping.
According to an FBI criminal complaint, the three suspects are accused of pilfering her bank account and terrorizing the woman and her 5-year-old daughter with pitbulls and a collection of snakes, which included a venomous coral snake and a 130-pound python.
The woman and her child were initially forced to sleep on a "cement floor in the basement with no mattress," but were later moved to another room, which was kept locked so the girl could not leave, according to the FBI.

text: This weekend we finished the second bottle of what hopefully is the worst wine I will drink this year. I was told that the label was by the guy who did the album cover for the Beatles Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and so I bought two bottles because Miranda is a BIG Beatles fan and so is her English pen-friend of 40+ years. It was thus a memento/gift without regard to the quality of the wine. But, of course, the label designer was not the guy who did Sgt Pepper's, so we decided to open one about a week ago. It's a California Cabernet (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Syrah, 2% Petit Syrah) but at about $12USD/btl you don't expect much. And there wasn't much, except for the wood splinters – and this is from someone who doesn't mind a bit of oak. So why open the second bottle on the weekend? Lighting doesn't strike the same wine twice, right? Yes it does. This stuff was so difficult to drink that Miranda tipped her's down the sink, but I persevered over two nights. And this was purely as an academic exercise to see how much punishment my palate can stand. The answer? Not a lot. If you ever see any R Wines Red Label Cabernet Sauvignon don't buy it, not even for the label. I think tonight I'll pull out an over oaked, unbalanced 16% alcohol Shiraz just to appease the taste buds.

The prospect of forgoing the fuss and muss of a tremendous wedding in favor of a quiet elopement may make many couples fall for an infinitely more intimate nuptials, but the rest of the family often doesn't share the same sentiment. But when a couple announces their engagement, their loved ones often anticipate a great celebration in which they can share the couple's joy. So what happens when the couple in question doesn't wish to host a lavish affair? Our etiquette experts weigh in on how to satisfy parents who simply detest the idea of an elopement.
There are an infinite amount of options between the throwing an over-the-top 300+ person celebration and an elopement. If you have your heart set on an elopement, you may consider adding a subsequent reception for friends and family after your "I dos". The small scale of your vows will satisfy your need for an unpretentious and romantic wedding, while a large reception will allow your loved ones to join in the revelry.
See More:A Romantic Elopement In Savannah, Georgia
You may also think about expanding your elopement to include immediate family members. Whisking away close relatives on an overseas adventure will maintain the adventurous spirit of the event and appease your nearest and dearest.
If neither option seems particularly enticing, contemplate jumping on the two-weddings trend, in which jet-setting couples host two ceremonies in two separate locations. Duos intent on an elopement can plan one petite ceremony and one larger soiree which will include friends and family.

Dear all
Today I am writing of my experience from just a few days ago. It was not earth shatteringly brilliant just a day where I took the time to listen to the collection of MOMENTS that came together to spin a story that made sense to me and as it made sense to me I suppose there are some out there that I am sure it may also make sense to you...
I recently watched the Movie 1000 Words with Eddie Murphy in it.
It was a great movie actually. the preview can be seen below.
Which actually started to get thinking me thinking about Mindfullness which for regular readers of this blog would know is something that I am working on getting at.
As I stated this was just an ordinary day with ordinary things occurring. Such as the show that was on the TV after I finished watching the DVD was the Loop which is a TV show on Channel 11 Free to air in Australia. Which had a music video show on. and the song that was playing at the time was a song by EXAMPLE- Called Perfect replacement.
Followed by the song by NEON TREES- Called Everybody talks
Now the above clips are placed there to set the scene for my experience. On this morning it just appeared that a range of media were "speaking" to me sending me "messages"... Now I can sort of assume some of the thoughts that you may be having already that this guy is CRAZY... And some may well say that you are right. But I mean more than that the circumstances came together in a way as to portray a string of shows that deliver a message which can be interpreted a range of ways.
But I digress.
The fiorst thought that I had when hearing the song by EXAMPLE was that I did not like it particularly as it would appear to be obviously a song for younger people or those who love Techno.
I posed myself the question of if this song is for Young People are they good listeners??? I suppose I thought about this as the song from my perspective is a song that just begs you to move to it. And the movement I would also suggest is quite an aggressive movement or at least a fast paced movement with a SOLID beat. One that you can can get quite caught up within.
I guess I just found myself being a BIT of an OLD MAN (although I would like think of myself as OLDER rather than OLD). Sort of passing judgement on the music of "young People" Which has been happening since to the dawn of time... Eg The beatles were going to be the spawn of the Devil in the eyes of the older generation of the time.
BUT this is passing Judgement and I realised I was going against the definition of Mindfulness which from previous editions of this BLOG was defined as: Moment to Moment Non Judgemental awareness.
So I was being Judgemental... Which prompted me to take greater care in the art of LISTENING.
Which if we return to the beginning of the experience of my day I was watching a show about a guy who spoke TRASH all day and was forced to SHUT UP and NOT SPEAK. Which was followed shortly after about a song that states as its lyrics that EVERYBODY TALKS TO MUCH.
It could well be suggested that large chunks of the Community are not particularly good at undertaking the ART or SKILL of listening. I suggest that LISTENING certainly is a Skill and a skill that not enough people actually are very good at.
In regard to this skill I acknowledge that I certainly can be better at doing this however I would suggest that I am better than average. This skill was honed through many of employment opportunities where I was working with troubled young people and if you were not good at listening and observing the evolving dynamics of groups or individuals then you quickly could find yourself yourself in a range of strife with some angry young people in your face. NOt that this also did not happen when you were careful, as there were just sometimes where the young people I was working with just become ANGRY because they were angry at the world.....
I mentioned earlier about me becoming OLDER and as I have previously undertaken significant employment experiences with young people who often were experiences some sort of troubled life. I reflect on these experiences and what I expect these same young people to look back on those times as they age. I realise that I
am getting older and those around are also ageing with me I am hearing
the same people reflect on "a time in their life that was simpler". I
myself see this as correlated with there being a perception that there
is greater amounts of NOISE in life at the moment. It is the simpler
life that is perceived to be less busy and less noisy...
I guess I am sharing my experiences to encourage others to follow me NOT in my journey but in the capacity to reflect on a life lived with the view of taking this information forward into their future with a greater sense of purpose. I say this as I am able to state that the times where I have experienced greater capacity to listen, Listen to myself, listen to others and generally just listen the myriad of sounds that are available within the natural environment have left me with a great sense of peace.
This can be demonstrated most recently when I went for a Mtn Bike ride into the National Park that is just close by my house here. I went on this day by myself, and took a few minutes out to just take a rest and I was struck with great sense of the power of SILENCE. It was not complete silence as there were subtle sounds of the animals trees and birds that were close by but there was a certainly a sense of QUIET. This Quiet actually brought about a great sense of peace within myself.
I have refelected further on the Skill of Listening and appropriate TALKing. I was previously employed as a Community Mediator with the Community Justice Centre. As a Community Justice Mediator we employed Alternative Dispute Resolution activities for mediating parties who were in conflict. More information can be found here
But I bring this up with the understanding that that while I was working within this area as a general rule if I was to assess the difference between parties that walked away from the mediation with a sense of resolution and a greater feeling of amicable relationships going into the future is whether I see that each party has had the ability to be HEARD by the other. As a mediator we facilatate a communication about issues between those parties who were sitting in front of us at the time. It was amazing to see the willingness to cooperate once each had gained a sense of being heard and were more willing to LISTEN to each other.
It was a process that we were asked to do after the Mediation had finsihed was to rate our belief of the liklyhood that these parties would effectively move to CONCILIATION. And as stated it was those parties that we felt were heard and felt listened to over and over again that we significantly rated higher as being more likely to move to a healthier relationship in the future.
Today's Edition of the Blog seems to be a longer one.
As the experience of the day moved on further into the afternoon and it was again driven by the themes that were presented within the TV shows that were on that day.
It surprised me that the very next show that appeared on the Box was "HAPPY DAYS" the once famous show containing the Fonz. As mr Cool who got all the girls and was Tough and able to beat everybody up. Although I rarely if ever actually seen him get into a fight.
But this particular episode also contained another 80"s Icon from another show that was blended together. This show Being MORK from ORC or Mork and Mindy. Where Robin Williams played a Alien who had come to earth to learn of the those Earthlings and the ways of there world.
As stated this episode of Happy Days Mork returns to see Richy Cunningham (played by Ron Howard) where he is currently living in the future from the episode of Happy Days. 1950's and Mork is living in the 1970's but he is struggling and returns to understand from a time where "Life is Simplier"
Shorts seen below:
As I see it though if I was put together all the MOMENTS that I experienced that morning together. It could well be interpreted to suggest that the Simplier life is actually right there in front of us... BUT we need to be willing to STOP and LISTEN.
From a separate perspective I have heard that whatever situation we find oursleves in throughout life "can" be seen as irrelavant! But it is how we repond to that situation that makes all the difference to the outcome.
I suppose this entire post was written as I was caught by the apparent Synchronicity of a range of MOMENTS and as I tend to do now I decided to write these down and place them where all other knowledge or information can ivariably be found these days,- THE INTERNET....
One last item I suppose I wish to let you know about. It was funny as I was having these thoughts prompted by the DVD and TV and MUSIC about a simplier life. I was actually attending a 80's party that night (which I had a great time at BTW) the 80's is a time that is likely seen as "simplier" time by those of my Generation "X ".
I also suppose that it was an interesting experience for me because when I was thinking of who or what I would go to the 80's party as I really wanted to go as MORK from ORC. So I could be a little weird and walk up to others saying Nanu Nanu with a special handshake much like that of the Vulcan from Star Trek.
I wanted to go to the party as Mork I guess because as a visitor to our world he really needed to LISTEN, OBSERVE and INTERACT to fully appreciate the qualities that make up our World, and most importantly Our Relationships.
And I suppose that if I put this post into the context of my overall BLOG it is the MOMENTS and QUALITY of our relationships that really make the difference between Happiness and Unhappiness.
Also at least for me it the relationships that I have with people that really create any meaningful purpose within the MOMENTS of my life.
Well that is me done again and I will catch you again

The basics: Willie Upton, a direct descendant of the founding family of Templeton, New York (based on Cooperstown, New York, where Groff grew up), returns home after having an affair with her married archaeology professor while on a digging trip. She's surprised to find her hippie mother, Vi, has become a conservative Christian. She's even more surprised to learn her mother has lied to her about her father's identity all her life, so she puts her academic research skills to the test to figure out his identity.
My thoughts: I spent a magical summer in Cooperstown, New York in 2009 when I interned at the Baseball Hall of Fame's Research Library. The town remains one of my favorite places in the world, and while visiting for an all-intern reunion earlier this month, I finally started The Monsters of Templeton. To read the first half while overlooking Lake Otsega was a magical experience:
|The view from the Adirondack chairs in front of my
room at the Lake Front Motel.
|One view from the Glimmerglass Queen boat tour
of Lake Otesaga (a.k.a Glimmerglass Lake)
I loved this novel. To see Cooperstown through the eyes of a native was fascinating. To read Groff's first novel after reading her two newer novels was also a fascinating experience. But all of that is almost a disservice to a novel extraordinary enough to stand on its own.
Favorite passage: "I knew, even then, what I couldn't admit that I had known: that now that I could lay claim to more predecessors, to more history, it wouldn't vastly change the course of my future. Because before a little humanoid came striding across the Bering Strait, and died and left a tiny smidgen of his existence in the tundra to be dug up by people in the unimaginable future, there had probably been a good number of humanoids before him who had also stridden over those same ancient rocks. Because, even though I now had a father, he brought with him such thicknesses of ancestors that it would be impossible to dig and understand them all, and they would be stamped only in the DNA of whatever future children I could have. It was too much. It was impossible to understand it all. And yet, we cling to these things. We pretend to be able to understand. We need the idea of the first humanoid in North America though we will never find him; we need a mass of ancestors at our backs as ballast. Sometimes, we feel it's impossible to push into the future without such a weight behind us, without such heaviness to keep us steady, even if it is imaginary. And the more frightening the future is, the more complicated it seems to be, the more we steady ourselves with the past. I looked at my father, Sol Falconer, and felt an impossible relief. It didn't matter, not really, that I had him at last. It didn't matter, and yet, in my illogical, unfathomable heart, it did. I was glad to have his real, breathing self on that long road behind me. I was glad to know he was there."
The verdict: Part of what drew me to The Monsters of Templeton was Groff's portrayal of Cooperstown. To read part of this novel there was a special experience, and I felt as though I carried a bit more of Cooperstown with me as I read from afar. But this novel is so much more than an ode to one of my favorite towns. It's a powerful exploration of family and history. It's a beautiful character study. It uses a fictional version of a real place, along with a large cast of fictional characters, to speak large truths about how we shape our identity through history.

April 7, 2017 — Chief Judge Roger Gregory of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals urged students to be compassionate throughout their legal careers during a presentation Monday at the University of Houston Law Center
Gregory was the fourth and final speaker of the 2017 Judge Ruby Kless Sondock Lectureship in Legal Ethics Jurist-In-Residence Program.
"Coming to an understanding of the dynamics and nuances of the human experience has made all the difference in my career," Gregory said. "You can go to medical school and learn a whole lot about medicine, but you don't know anything about healing. You can go into the seminary and be a great theologian but know nothing about faith. You can go to a great law school like the University of Houston Law Center and know nothing about justice."
Gregory recounted personal experiences and described what he believes are the virtues of the legal profession.
"The best evidence of a life in the law is growth," he said. "Logic alone cannot animate the law. Experience gives it life. Growth is change, and when it changes it should improve in quality and character so that it is responsible and fulfill its objective of justice.
"I want students to be courageous, study hard, and absorb everything your professors have because the time will come that you will have to stand in the well. Someone will call upon you and you must be their voice and must never retreat from justice no matter how faint or distant it is."
Gregory is a native of Petersburg, Va., and received a B.A., summa cum laude, from Virginia State University in 1975 and a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1978. He is the first African-American to sit on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit based in Richmond, Va. President Bill Clinton recess appointed him to the court on Dec. 27, 2000. President George W. Bush also nominated him, and the Senate confirmed his lifetime appointment in July 2001, making Gregory the only person in the history of the U.S. to be appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals by two presidents of different political parties.
The Jurist-In-Residence program is named in honor of Sondock, a trailblazer in the law who graduated as valedictorian and one of only five women in the UH law school class of 1962. After practicing law for many years, Sondock was appointed to the 234th District Court in 1977, making her the first female state district judge in Harris County. She was appointed to the Texas Supreme Court in 1982, making her the first woman to serve in a regular session of the court. She was proclaimed a "Texas Legal Legend" by the litigation section of the State Bar of Texas in 2016.

Release Date: February 26, 2016
Expiration Date: December 31, 2019
Mental health and mental illness are difficult concepts to define. Both health and illness have a basis in society's cultural, moral, ethical, and spiritual beliefs, providing a wide framework for understanding. As difficult as it may be to arrive at a universal definition of mental illness, certain elements are associated with how mental illness is perceived regardless of one's psychosocial heritage. Individuals in society evaluate another person's health within a specific cultural context and by the comprehensibility of that person's actions. Perhaps no other mental illness is as devastating and difficult to understand as schizophrenia. Affecting almost 1% of the population worldwide, the disorder knows no gender, ethnic, or cultural boundaries. For various reasons, mental illness has become increasingly visible. As society has advanced in medicine and technology, industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and globalization, the demand for healthcare services, and mental health services in particular, has greatly increased. It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans has a diagnosable mental disorder. As a result, clinicians in a variety of practice settings are caring for clients with mental health issues and illnesses such as schizophrenia.
The purpose of this course is to provide the reader with an overview of schizophrenia, including its etiology, signs and symptoms, and treatment. Designed for social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychologists, this intermediate-level course will provide clinicians with current information under DSM-5 about schizophrenia and will suggest therapeutic interventions to assist them when working with clients who have schizophrenia.
New Jersey Social Workers - This course is approved by the Association of Social Work Boards - ASWB NJ CE Course Approval Program Provider #52, Course #1169 from December 19, 2016 to December 19, 2018. Social Workers will receive the following type and Number of credit(s): Clinical SW Practice, 3 credits.

By nature of surveys who you are as a person really determines if the surveys to earn money is right for you.
Can not stress that enough. The sites and surveys what to know info about you. Your current location, gender, age and income are just some of general things that will determine if you qualify to take a particular survey. No one can tell you one site is really better for you in this field, some may offer a higher pay rate for some surveys, but then less people get to do them.
How to be earning money by doing surveys from home comes down to three things.
- Diversity in the start and sticking with the sites where you regularly experience good earnings.
- Consistency in how often you do them. A regular amount of time, a certain number of surveys, goal amount of earnings. Have something to keep the "end" in sight.
- Persistence. Trying to do every survey on every site will become overwhelming and a few days in a row will burn you out really quick. But attempting just a few on a site and then giving up entirely gets you nothing. Have the drive to find to find a good flow of earnings for yourself and then stick with it.
This is a Survey review site and community. Been around helping anyone make money from home for many years. Personally recommend trying out three of the top 10 survey sites they recommend to start. It's been in my go to place to check survey websites.
Recommended GPT sites that offer surveys:(both for USA,UK,Canada only)
QuickRewards - Get paid to site, featuring 5-15 surveys a day.
Swagbucks - Search and win site, 1-7 surveys a day.

Economy Tubular Slide Sheet - Red
Our range of slide sheets offer outstanding value for money. Since sliding (as distinct from lifting) is intrinsically safer and easier for the carer, slide sheets are being used more frequently. Slide sheets are fabric tubes with a high slip inner surface and a low slip outer surface. They facilitate the moving of patients in three basic ways without the need to lift i.e. turning a prone patient, sitting a patient up in bed, and moving a patient on or off a bed or trolley. Slide sheets are available in simple sheet or padded quilt formats to cover the widest range of situations. All the slide sheets are machine washable.

Easy To Learn vs Hard To Master
So I found out recently that Shadowbane is now free to play, and had a server restart (characters wiped) < 2 months ago... Seemed like a perfect time to jump in and try it out. Downloading it, patching etc, no problems, load into character creation...
/me loads up shadowbane forums, spends the next several hours trying to figure out which choices to make so I don't gib my character...
There are a ridiculous number of options. Four base classes, 10 "real" classes on top of those (including ones that you can access via different base classes), a plethora of races, attributes, background traits. Then you get into the game and you have to split your "training points" as you level up between "skills" and "powers". Apparently attributes drive skills which drive powers. Or something.
I mean, I consider myself if not an MMO vet, at least an RPG vet. I've gone through a similar experience as above to one degree or another through many years spent playing a combination of Diablo II, Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, then on to the more traditional WoW, and Guild Wars. Also have played Magic the Gathering on and off for several years. In every case, if you want to make a character/build/deck that is competitive, you HAVE to do your homework. And you know what I've realised?
I spend more time researching how to play games then actually playing them.
Well, just about anyway.
I had an outsider's perspective of this a couple of months ago. I convinced my gf to get into Guild Wars (which I am very very happy about). I told her what the various classes entailed, she likes the sound of the ranger, gets through a couple of early levels. Time to buy some skills.
Her: "I have to buy skills now honey.... Is Power Shot any good?"
Me: "No, it sucks."
Her: "Oh... what about Penetrating Attack?"
Me: "Sucks."
Her: "Oh... what about Sundering Attack?"
Me: "It does the same thing as Penetrating Attack."
Her: "They made 2 versions of a sucky skill, great....ok forget about bow skills. How about Otyugh's Cry?"
Me: *Shudders* "Look, get Distracting Shot, Savage Shot, Apply Poison, Troll Unguent, Natural Stride, and take Monk secondary for Mending Touch"
Her: "Um, ok... How come 90% of the skills in this game are shit?"
Me: ".................."
(I don't know)
Mulling it over recently, I have come to the conclusion: if they only put the "good" skills in the game, then there would be no "choices" to make, and so the game would be easier to learn, and less hard to master.
Now, many of you will argue that knowing which skills are good is simply part of "skill" at the game. However, I would argue that it is useless "skill", in that it has no context outside the game. Compare this to learning such generic gameplay such as knowing which characters to snare at which times, which characters to interrupt at each times, when to switch targets, etc.
Learning what all the "skills" in the game do gives you a pseudo increase in power because you have mastered an arbitrary ruleset invented at the whim of a game designer, which is subject to change at any ime anyway. It creates a hurdle that will result in someone who would otherwise be a prodigy at the game being a total noob for several months.
Exactly like the much maligned "vertical progression" of characters getting better items and hence being much better than characters who spend less time playing the game.
Of course, as I said, they do this for a reason. They want to give the game "depth" to keep you entertained. I now throw the question out to the viewers: is there a better way to do this? Assuming that there was some kind of intuitive combat system that can be picked up in the space of, say, a couple of hours, how can we offer our players different, interesting, yet all *equally good* choices to promote depth?
You will need to write a part #2 to this article and perhaps present some nice examples of a simple system
About Guild Wars Ranger. Im a Ranger and I say get every last skill. Let her explore the game and find skills she enjoys. I unlocked all skills for my ranger and took pride that I had them all (was prophecies campaign). At least, mostly all of them
Next, I did not play Shadowbane. I think its okay to allow players to custimize a build. Its fun doing the research and debating on the forums whats best. You want to keep gamers busy. You want them to explore and talk bout the game. If you see them all decide "Man power shot sucks"
Now you have a problem. That is when a game fails. Because there is a lack of exploration. We want our gamers to try every power. Everything should have a tactical use.
Richard Bartle Classified "Explorer" as a major emergent personality type in MMOs and they should be catered too I think. At least to an extent. An explorer wants to see new things and experiement with new combos
Most often an Explorer is a pseudo-killer that takes delight in inflicting pain on others
This is also why "Hidden Potential" is a great thing. WE cannot have hidden potential if I know everything you can do
This is why Guild Wars is/was great. You didnt know what other player would do,.
I had this Necro/Ranger that ruled Arenas. People thought I had a gimp build. Then I fought them 1-on-1 and owned them
Same with City of heroes. I had a gimp Class + gimp build ppl thought. then I made a film and showed them it wasnt gimp. Now its FoTM still to this day (EM/Elec brute)Wed May 07 2008 9:44PM Report
Melf, you pretty much nailed the reason why "uber" builds/specs exist...because there are so many broken skills in any given MMO. If developers would spend time buffing up the broken skills, they wouldnt have to spend so much time nerfing the FOTM builds. Ideally, every build or spec should be viable, depending on the players style.
Id also have to agree with vajuras, there should be plenty of possiblities for research and exploration. This doesnt mean that there have to be uber builds out there, just unexplored combinations that work very well when played correctly. Newer MMOs have really neutered this feature, in favor of the "Building an Avatar For Dummies" system. B#llsh!t.Wed May 07 2008 10:56PM Report
Hey Melf_Himself if I were to amend to this piece I would include EVE Online in regards to initial character creation. When newbies create an avatar they really dont know what the attributes do. In EVE, you keep that character for rest of your life. You might fnd a 3year vet lamenting about the build he choose when he was a newbie
Right now there is a concensus on Caldari Achura being pretty much the best (1 out of many bloodlines in the game)
Still a great game but I always wished i could change around my attributes later. I really dont like having to live with my decision forever
Of course attributes only affect the speed at which u learn skills in EVE. So with time, you can still learn anything.
So in the end, I vastly prefer it to most other systems. Elder scrolls oblivion did something similar
But I wish I didnt have to make a final decision at begining of my avatars life on day #1 in EVE when I knew nothing
At least make it so it is much easier to raise alts. I wish EVE would allow alts to gain skills faster. yeah, yeah there are probably bad things to this. 'Farmers' would love it. Maybe it sucky idea.
But in Elder Scrolls its fast to come back on an alt. Not really so with EVE cause of huge time investmentsWed May 07 2008 11:49PM Report
Thanks for the comments guys.
That's the trade-off isn't it - you either make it noob friendly, or you make it explorer-friendly. I'm an explorer in that respect, once I'm really into a game I love coming up with different builds etc, and for that I want to unlock every last skill as you said vajuras.
It's just your first couple of months playing the game that you don't really want that stuff, you just wanna know what isn't going to completely suck :/
I've had a couple of thoughts about this whole thing, I'll post a part 2 and see what you guys think ^^Thu May 08 2008 4:39AM Report
One of the things I abhor in the game, is when you buy an 'upgraded' version of the skill.
Why not just have the skill/spell upgrade as you level.
But again this becomes about choices, and playing your character. Being the healer and using the lower level heal spell, because your almost OOP but need to get off one final heal kind of thing.
Easy to Learn - Hard to Master is pretty much exactly why this happens.
Personally, I would be happier if they gave you more variety of skills/spells, but over a longer period, say every x levels, and just let the spell upgrade as you went.
That way, you have the strategy changing as you get genuinely new skills, and not just bumped up versions of the old ones.Thu May 08 2008 7:02AM Report
Guild Wars has that. Once you get a skill, you've got it, you don't have to train it up. Skills are linked to a particular attribute eg "fireball" is linked to "fire"... If you pump up your fire attribute, your fireball does more damage.
Your attributes can be made higher as you level, and it also lets you reset your attributes whenever you're in town.Thu May 08 2008 7:26PM Report

Back in 2012, I made mention of these ordination cards that I came across while sorting through my mother's personal effects. Within the pages of one of my mom's prayer books, I found these two cards. Each one commemorates the ordination of a man into the Roman Catholic priesthood in Dublin, Ireland.
The first card is for John J. Murphy, whose ordination took place at St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral on 14 June 1924. He celebrated his very first mass the following day. The second is for James H. Flood, who was ordained on 11 June 1927, with his first mass also celebrated the day after his ordination.
Although my family history research has led me to uncover the ordinations of men into the priesthood on my father's side of the family, to this date I have not yet uncovered any evidence of a priest, or priests, on my maternal family tree. So, the discovery of these curious little cards left me with a number of questions.
The first aspect of the cards which gives me pause to wonder is the names of the ordained. To this point in time neither the surname 'Murphy' nor the surname 'Flood' has revealed itself in a blood connection within our family. Who were these men? Are they connected to my family tree? If so, to whom are they connected?
The second detail on the cards which elicits questions is the dates. Both of these events took place years before the birth of my mother. My mother was born in 1931, and these cards date to 1924 and 1927 respectively. Since these events took place before her birth, why were the cards in my mother's principal prayer book? Also, how did my mom come to have them, and who had the cards before her?
The more ornate of the two cards is the one pictured above, which commemorates the ordination of John J. Murphy. The image is more colourful, is replete with Catholic symbols, and bears raised embellishments on the corners. The information on the back of the card indicates that the ordination is to take place at the Pro-Cathedral, the acting Cathedral for the Roman Catholic Church in Dublin, Ireland. Although the second card does not indicate the site of ordination, the ceremony for James H. Flood would also have taken place at the Pro-Cathedral, since this is the church of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin.
In my opinion, the differences in the quality of the cards and their embellishment may reveal a couple of things about the men for whom the cards were created. Consideration of these elements leads to more questions. Such cards would have been ordered and paid for by the family of a man being ordained, or by the man himself, thus the phrase 'my ordination'. The ornate card would have been more expensive to produce, so does the card for John J. Murphy imply some wealth in his family? The card for James H. Flood is black and white, and very simple. Is this indicative of his family's standing, or is it simply an overt expression of his vow to poverty?
It could be the case that each one of these cards is simply a souvenir that was picked up by a member of my mother's family, perhaps her mother or father, when they attended the ordination ceremonies of the priests in question. As members of a Roman Catholic congregation, as long as there was room in the Cathedral, they would have been allowed to attend the ordination, whether or not they were related to the man being ordained. However, it strikes me as curious that the cards were kept for such a long period of time if neither of these men were connected to our family.
There is a possibility that the cards were kept, not because of a connection to those being ordained, but because of a relationship with the Archbishop who ordained them. Early in his career as a priest, the Most Reverend Archbishop Dr. Edward Byrne, then simply known as Father Byrne, served in Rolestown, North County Dublin. He served as parish priest in the church in which Alice Fitzpatrick Ward — grand-aunt and guardian of my mother Mary and her siblings — was baptized and later married. Alice was a long standing and generous patron of the church, so perhaps she maintained a relationship with Father Byrne over the course of his career. Thus, the cards may have belonged to Alice, and they may have been given to my mother upon Alice's death.
Although it remains unsolved, and the case of ordination cards has led to many more questions than answers, I still do love a good mystery.

Summer is here!4:16 PM
Summer is here!
And I am girding up my loins.
I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't like summer. I don't like that the air becomes so thick that it's hard to breathe, especially at night. I don't like it that the leaves and grass turn brown. I hate it that a few minutes after I showered, I'm beginning to sweat again.
Don't get me wrong, I love the sun. I also love getting a tan. I just don't like the heat and humidity. Oh, that blasted humidity!
For a country with perfect sunny days year round, what is so special about this one month when the temperatures go insanely high? Why should I go to the beach when just stepping out of the shade singes my skin? Besides, there are just too many people on the shore and rooms cost more than what it delivers. I say, unless you're a student, go to the beach any time of the year except during the summer.
What about going up to the mountains? Well, that's a possible escape from the heat. At least, I don't get as sweaty as quickly. But sometimes, being up on the mountain in the summer frustrates me, too, since it wouldn't be as cold as I would like it to be. Yes, there is no winning with me.
So, I stay in the city and soldier on. At least there is air-conditioning in coffee shops and malls. At home, I can wear shirts so thin from washing, one can almost see through them. And best of all, I can concoct my own fruit shakes that wouldn't cost me a gold bullion for a glass.
But before you click on another blog simply because there's just too much negativity here, I am challenging myself to find great things about summer. I am calling it the "30 days of summer challenge and each day, I'll try to post something nice about this month.
Here's the first one – the bougainvillea.
I remember the time when most streetlamps in the metro have bougainvillea crawling on them. During the summer, they would be so thick with blossoms that it was such a delight to drive along the streets. Whatever happened to them? The bougainvillea is now used as hedges on our motorway islands so at least, they are still there. Thus when our roadways, parks, and our own fences explode with much color because of the bougainvillea, it just means that summer is here.

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Thursday charged the principal opposition parties in West Bengal with only lodging complaints against her and said that a political vendetta was on against a "particular party".
"From morning to night, the Congress, CPI-M and BJP leaders are lodging complaints against me. I will seek answer
inch by inch. It is my fundamental right. I don't need a certificate from them. I only need certificate from people. The people will given them a befitting reply through ballots," she told election meetings in Birbhum district.
In an apparent reference to the Election Commission, she said, "City police commissioner was removed, a large number of OCs were changed. It is being done at the behest of the Congress, CPI-M and BJP".
"A political vendetta is on against a particular party," she said.
On the Opposition demand for arrest of TMC leader from Birbhum Anubrata Mandal, she retorted, "Why should Anubrata
be arrested? Why Md Selim, Biman Bose, Sujan Chakrabarty and Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee should not be arrested?"
The Election Commission, which had earlier showcaused Anubrata Mandal, also censured him.
Pointing out that people could not vote during the 34 years of Left rule in the state, Banerjee asked where were
those people who were now shouting.
The TMC supremo said that Congress, BJP leaders come to the state during election time after five years and talk big but they did nothing for the people.

If you are a lover of nature or art, or both (like me!), this is the city for you! I left Santa Fe with a calmed mind and an invigorated, creative spirit. In this post I hope to share some of that inspiration with you!
New Mexico's landscape is breathtaking - driving across west Texas and then into this state, we quickly understood why it is called the "Land of Enchantment." No wonder Georgia O'Keeffe fell in love!
The plants and flowers that grow in this cool and dry climate were also beautiful. The streets were lined with sunflowers in bloom and the sweet scent of lavender greeted us at every corner.
I also fell in love with the adobe architecture. The brown and terracotta tones with soft curves and corners mimicked the landscape perfectly. It was amazing to look over neighborhoods that blend into the mountains with such purity.
And, did I mention there is an entire street devoted to art galleries!?? Canyon Road is a must-see for any lover of art!
Needless to say I am anxious to return to Santa Fe! I hope you have enjoyed my photos of this beautiful place!

This post is part of an ongoing series of Rangers introductions. See An index to all Rangers covered on this blog for more details.
Who Are You?
I am Daniel Oliveira, an ALM Consultant that lives in the South, and loves listening to rock n' roll, running and bicycle riding and to be with parents, sister and girlfriend.
I've been working with Visual Studio since the 2005 beta 1 version. That was my very first contact with the Microsoft ALM platform, that time called Visual Studio Team System.
What makes you "tick"?
I love challenges. I feel very passionate about improving ALM processes and adapting tools to processes.
What is really great about it is that you can unleash the potential of smart and dedicated people with the right mind-set and the right tools.
Where do you live?
I live in São Paulo – SP – Brazil.
Where is the place you call home?
I had lived in Curitiba for 27 years and then moved to São Paulo. I felt really welcome when I moved to São Paulo, so I can pretty much call Curitiba and São Paulo home!
Why are you active in the Rangers program?
I started my career in the Microsoft Innovation Center here in Curitiba. Since I started in .NET platform I am deeply involved with the software community. I have had some great opportunities that came from this involvement with the community. One of them was to become a Most Valuable Professional in 2008.
The Rangers program is a huge opportunity to work with the greatest minds in ALM nowadays and also to deliver a great contribution to the community.
I also joined Microsoft as Premier Field Engineer, so as an ALM Ranger I can also help improving our solutions to help customers.
What is the best Rangers project you worked on and why?
I really like build automation, so the Build Customization Guidance was a great opportunity and I felt very excited during the project. Another great project was the ALM Assessment.

I currently offer three size/shape options, The KD, KOM, and the K000-12 Fret. These models are available in a variety of different trim packages designated as Styles. I offer two different build types; the Standard Series, or the Vintage Reproduction Series. Combine a model with a style, a build type, and any custom options to get the Konkoly Guitar of your choice.
The KOOO-12 Fret is an early steel string design that evolved from the classical guitar. The basic shape and
slotted headstock remain. While similar in depth and width to the KOM, the longer body can produce a
better bass response and increased volume. A throaty mid range is typical. Built to be light and responsive,
the K000-12 fret is an excellent choice for the player who demands a powerful but comfortable instrument
with a classic vintage appearance.
View more of the K000-45 in the GALLERY.
Options: Add $2500 for Grade AA Brazilian Rosewood on Style 28. Grade AA Brazilian Rosewood is included in the price of Style 42 and 45. Other grades of Brazilian Rosewood are available up to Grade AAAA at a cost $5000.

Authentic Travel and Tours is alive and well, though it has been a time of transition. In 2016 I led a large tour to France, just after selling my gallery. I returned in 2017 to live in France for an extended time, then visited Ireland. Upon my return, I was hired as the Director of Woods hall Gallery and Studios on Madeline Island, where I spent the rest of the year. I was so busy with this position that I did not plan any tours, and I will continue on as Education coordinator but will not have quite as full a schedule.
So, this winter is a time to reflect on the amazing travel and experiences I have had, create artwork and delve deeply into fresh approaches to it. I'm particularly interested in botanical printing and have collected plants fro many places to print fabric and paper. I am also taking a break from leading trips so that I can tend to my home and property, and focus on where and what I would like the tours to be.
I am now able to focus on what new and exciting things might be possible for future tours, and have planned some "scouting" trips to look at possible tours and meet people to include. Ireland, Scotland and France are all of interest….so like this page, or my Facebook page, to get up to the minute posts when things develop.
Thank you for your interest!

Hi there,
Yeah, the DE blade's a real beauty. Very sharp and fairly forgiving. I will load one up as a special treat sometimes and end up getting at least 7-8 really nice shaves.
Unlike Johnny, I found the Personna74 injector blades to be quite different from the many other blades I'd tried over the years. Now these things are sharp! Actually, a little more than I need, and I dial down one number when using em in the adjustable. I'd be surprised if you didn't notice a difference.
If you ever see any Gillette Platinum Plus blades, they're almost as sharp but more forgiving. Personna Super Stainless blades are also good ones.

identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,

Last weekend the weather was absolute pants. The term heavy rain doesn't even begin to cover it. As luck would have it, Doug had planned to deliver a telescope mount to someone in Crestview, about 120 miles from our home. We didn't know the weather would take such an awful turn.
Have you ever driven in heavy rain and wind? It makes you tense. There are the drivers going way too slow (and yes, you should slow down in the rain but some were creeping along at ridiculously slow speeds). Anyway, the delivery was made and we were ravenous by the time that was done.
We found a Mexican place called La Rumba and it was excellent. Had I not been so hungry I wouldn't have attacked the complimentary chips as I did and dessert would have been an option, Alas.
We both had a vegetarian platter with cheese enchiladas, bean burrito and a chalupa. So filling...we were stuffed so, had to pass on those yummy desserts they displayed on the way in.
On the way home the rain picked up, didn't think that was possible. It was much heavier and was coming down so fast and hard that we hydroplaned over several lanes on the interstate, sliding sideways into the muddy median. I think it's good that it was muddy - once the vehicle started sliding, the mud built up a wall on the driver's side tires, thus keeping us from rolling. Very scary!
Mud and grass washed across the windshield just as we came to a rest. My husband is a wonderful driver - I don't think I would have handled it as well.
So for the record, I ♥ our Subaru Forester! Love the all-wheel drive and whatever that system is that takes over and reduces engine power when it senses you are out of control. Once we have this paid off and we are officially retired (a few years yet) we want a Subaru Outback. Dreaming.....
Meals we have enjoyed - nothing fancy, it's all fuss-free dining at our place.
Enchiladas on the patio. With wine. And candles. Yes, we had better weather last week and managed a meal outside. It was lovely.
This is a Broccoli Mac and Cheese casserole with a boiled egg (for protein). The evening before we had roasted salmon with the mac & cheese but since it was all gone, we had the accompanying egg.
Scallops braised in butter and garlic. I learned something about cooking scallops recently. A few times I had a nice browned edge to them and other times, they stayed the milky white color. Evidently if you let them sit out a bit they will brown better. The times I took them directly from the fridge and put them in a pan they didn't brown. A cool scallop fact and lesson.
Last but not least, I have acquired a small loom and I am hoping to make hats. It's been fun so far, once I figured out the directions. My progress .... So far 😉
That's about it for these parts. Nothing exciting going on. The break from social media has been good so no regrets there.
Hope all is well in your world!

The incomparable Maria Popova (whom you must follow on twitter @brainpicker) recently posted a review of the incredible book "This Explains Everything" from John Brockman. The book presents 150+ brilliant thinkers' answers to the question:
"What is your favorite deep, elegant, or beautiful explanation?"
With magnificent insights from Jared Diamond, Brian Eno, Steven Pinker, and Susan Blackmore, the book covers pretty much everything we know — or really should know — about the underlying order of the universe. (In other words, there is a lot to think about in this book.)
But there's a big problem. A huge problem. A problem that makes me want to either cry or start shouting REALLY LOUD.
Out of 150 brilliant minds introducing their favorite theories, only one* used pictures.
WHAT?!This is crazy — especially since EVERY ONE of the entries I've read so far (just passed 50) would benefit enormously from the addition of a simple clarifying sketch.
And these pictures aren't hard to draw. I got so mad while reading this book on the short flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I managed to draw the first three while sitting on the plane. Here they are:
1) Susan Blackmore on Evolution
2) Matt Ridley on DNA
3) Richard Dawkins on how we process patterns
The big takeaway: If we're explaining a theory, why wouldn't we use every means available to make that theory clear, memorable, and alive? If we're going to use words to describe an image, why don't we just draw the image we're trying to describe?
It's not that hard. I did these three in less that 30 minutes, using nothing but a pen and paper. Imagine what a true genius could do in a day.
When the smartest people we have reject the use of simple images to support their own theories, is it really any wonder that more people reject science?
This really upsets me. Come on, smart people: SHOW me what you're talking about.
(*That one BTW, is Stewart Brand. My new hero.)

One Suit, Four Ways
They say the accessories make the man. Here, a quartet of highly particular shop clerks take their shot at styling the groom.
The Suit: Burberry London Milbury wool suit, $1,195 at Burberry, 9 E. 57th St., at Fifth Ave.; 212-407-7100.
Look 1: Fashion Minimalist
Styled by Phillip Salem, owner of Owen
While the dark-gray suit errs on the traditional side, the gleaming-gold ceramic bow tie and black cotton button-up steer the outfit more toward the avant-garde. Salem especially likes the shirt because it's soft, yet fitted, so you're not stiff when dancing. The general lack of accessories (save for the tie) streamlines the look, which is anchored by eye-catching walnut shoes.
Get the look:
Lou Dalton cotton shirt, $250, at Owen, 809 Washington St., at Gansevoort St.; 212-524-9770. Cor Sine Labe Doli ceramic bow tie, $235, at Owen. Grenson calfskin shoe, $485, at Gentry, 127 N. 6th St., nr. Bedford Ave., Williamsburg; 718-599-7091.

December 2013
Fillies Incentive Bonus Scheme (FIBS)
The Thoroughbred Breeders Queensland Association Committee has been very busy over the past few months developing a new scheme to encourage more interest in fillies.
We have formulated a proposal called FIBS – Fillies Incentive Bonus Scheme. The plan is to have certain races allocated as FIBS races, similar to what occurs with QTIS. However instead of a cash prize, the winning owner would receive a $5,000 bonus credit to spend at the proceeding March QTIS Sale on the purchase of a filly.
It's hoped this will generate more interest in the fillies market which is never as buoyant as the colts at the sales.
The TBQA requires the assistance of Magic Millions and Racing Queensland to fund this initiative. We have presented both organisations with our detailed proposal and it has been very well received.
We're hoping for a positive outcome as we head into the New Year so that FIBS can be up and running prior to the 2014 March QTIS Sale.
The TBQA Committee believes that it's initiatives like this that will help breathe new life into Queensland breeding and racing and we are keen to work beside all industry bodies to achieve these goals. We do 'Run As One' and by forging strong partnerships with incentives like FIBS we are showing stakeholders that we are working hard to move forward and strengthen the Queensland industry, despite the hurdles we are constantly facing with lack of State Government funding for prizemoney.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the Market Research Study we have been conducting, your feedback has been vital for the success of this project.
Researchers at the University of Southern Queensland are in the process of analysing the data and compiling a report that we can use as a foundation for improving the Queensland breeding and racing industry.
We hope to be able to release the findings early next year. We will also be drawing the winners of the two QTIS pay-ups at the March QTIS sale.
TAFE Course Best Yet
I would like to congratulate Kellie Monckton who does a tremendous job each year mentoring the Southern Queensland Institute of Tafe Horse Breeding Course at Warwick and providing our industry with skilled employees.
Students cover everything from foaling down and breeding to yearling handling, breaking–in, horse health and welfare. This year they had the opportunity to work at a number of the Magic Millions sales, prepared and sold a TAFE owned yearling at the June sales, took a tour of the Hunter Valley studs and completed work experience with studs and vets in Queensland and NSW. (pictured)
A special mention of appreciation must go to the local studs that support this course each year by opening their doors to students for work experience. They include Raheen, Lyndhurst, Glenlogan Park, Clear Mountain Fairview and Widden. Five of the seven graduating students have now been employed at these Studs.
This year's course has proved to be the most successful so far. The quality of the students was exceptional and hopefully they will bring to the industry some real talent and enthusiasm.
The TBQA Top Student Award went to Lyn Williams for her great work ethic and outstanding performance in all aspects of the course. Lyn is now working at Glenlogan Park.
The Horse Handling Award was presented to Carissa Wrigley. She showed exceptional ability in handling horses of all ages and has gained employment with Widden Stud.
Kellie has kindly thanked the TBQA and our members for the ongoing support of this course and looks forward to the next intake of students in February. You can contact Kellie at the Warwick TAFE if you'd like to find out more.
On behalf of my wife Di, Basil Jnr and my family, along with all of the TBQA Committee, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Thank you to all our members for your wonderful support this year, we are all working very hard to improve our industry and we are slowly making inroads.
I hope you have a very safe holiday period and are able to take some time out to enjoy the festive season with family and friends. I look forward to continuing to represent you and the breeding industry in 2014. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Banker Testimonials
"Patti was a breath of fresh air. She bid a couple different options for us after reviewing what we had done in the past. Having a knowledgeable individual working on the renewal was VERY beneficial. She knows the business and the industry! Our Chairman of the Board, having been in the insurance industry for a number of years was very pleased with Patti's knowledge, recommendations and willingness to review the entire packet of information. (In years past, our packet was dropped off with the statement, "Here's your renewal".) For someone that isn't as versed on the insurance industry, Patti does a fine job explaining the coverage recommended and needed.
It's great having Patti on OUR team and would recommend her and the team at Nicoud for anyone wanting to rest easy that they have the proper insurance coverage in place and in force."

It's that time of year again, PAX Prime 2012 is just a couple weeks away. I have managed to find my way there for a few years now and each time I had to find tickets from a third party. This year happened to be no different, but after purchasing fake PAX bagdes last year, I wanted to make absolutely sure this time that I was purchasing the real deal. I luckily found a good seller for a reasonable price, and with these advanced security features on the PAX badges, I am sure to get in the door without any problems.
Check out this video I made to make sure you purchase legitimate PAX Prime 2012 badges!
