In no other way can a person travel to as many cities, worlds, and countries as quickly as through the pages of a book. Books magically transport readers on adventures they would normally never encounter. While opening the mind to a plethora of possibilities, the written work can also impart knowledge to those who seek it.
Because of the limitlessness of books, a reader can be easily transported to entirely new lands just by opening the cover. The written word can describe an entirely new realm where dragons speak and pixies rule. Other stories transport can transport the reader to real places on the planet, allowing them to walk the emerald green hills of Ireland while not leaving the comfort of their favorite chair. Nothing in the world has the power to spark the imagination quite like the written word.
Through the pages of a book, readers become conscious of others around them. Books have been known to open the eyes of those who peruse the pages to the plight of the less fortunate. Through these pages readers are opened to the conditions of the characters and their lives. This, in turns, shines a light on the pain and anguish that can be felt by someone living as the personalities in the story.
While some can learn what it's like to live in situations they can barely imagine, others gain motivation from diving into to a good story. It is true that there are many motivational and self-help books on the market. It is one of the most popular genre of books. However, motivation can also be gained through the reading of a fictional story. Seeing how the hero/ine concurs his/her demons through the story can give the reader the strength they need to face their own problems. It is all in the way that the character is portrayed that helps inspire us all.
There is power in the written word. It can make us laugh and cry. It can cause us to fall in love (with the characters). Books can make us angry and cause us to take action against an injustice we see in our everyday lives. There is power within to help us to learn and expand our horizons just by reading a story.
Some books inspire their readers to make a change in their lives, for better or worse. Many were rightfully changed by reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin", Ayn Rand's "Fountainhead," or Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451." These books make those that read them think about the world around them in a new way. The frightening depictions in these stories brought a new level of understanding about what could happen, or had happened, due to the loss of freedom in their lives.
Books have a way of bringing to light what we fear most. These books are not necessarily horror/thriller books either. Some fear the overthrow of our personal freedoms in a manner consistent with 'Big Brother.' Others fear being alone or abused by a loved one. These stories can force the reader to face these fears. They in turn learn how to keep from being victims of a faceless authority that would keep them from being truly free or from being taken advantage of by those who may say they love them.
Despite the growing popularity of the internet, television, movies, and social media, books are still an important part of our lives. They teach us about worlds and societies in a way that no other media can convey. Some think that the written word is dead. It is far from dead.
The truth is that everyone loves a good story. Even those who claim they don't read or find sitting down with a good book to be boring. Those same people hang on to tales told by family and friends. You will never find a person who says they don't want to know what happened in someone's day. While the degree of interest varies depending on the story and who's telling it, everyone enjoys hearing a well thought out story.
Ever notice how many books have been made into movies? That is because the power of the book, the power of the story has sparked the imagination of a director or a producer. He sees the movie in his mind as he reads the story. This excites him and makes him strive to bring the story to life for all to see. Some of these movies have sparked innovation in order to bring the book to the big screen. The creativity required to create technology in order to make the story come alive is amazing.
People use social media to convey their own stories and often go back and look to see what has changed over the years for them, family, and friends. It's a way of understanding their own stories. And those stories are all written down.
Books are powerful tools that can be used to change the way a person thinks or lives. A great example is one of the number top selling books in history, the Bible. Multitudes of people have changed their lives based on the words contained in the covers. Most have become a new person for the better just by following the examples within.
Do books contain a power that people don't fully grasp? Yes, they are a way to learn, grow, interact, and feel emotions they are have never experienced. No other media causes people to think or learn in a way that reading a book can. Books spark the imagination and open the reader up to a whole new way of thinking.
There is an unexplainable power that comes with reading a book. Whether it's to escape reality for just a little while or it's to learn about history, a new skill, or just gain some much needed motivation, reading is the best way to do that. Nothing can compete with how the written word affects our lives and changes the way we think and live. Books are far from dead or going out of style. They are stronger than ever.

Nineveh Last updated on Tuesday 20th April 2010
The ancient city of Nineveh is situated just outside Mosul on the east bank of the River Tigris. It was the third capital of Assyria dating from the reign of Sennacherib (704-681BC)and was one of the most powerful cities of the Middle East, the hub of the civilized ancient world. Its downfall came in 612BC, when it was sacked by the Medes of Northern Persia.
The walls of Nineveh were 12km in circumference and were set with fifteen gates, each of which was named after an Assyrian god. Some of these gates have been reconstructed, notably the Shamash and Nergal gates. It was first excavated by the French and later by the British, and is noted for its colossal palace, its library, its statuary and its prehistoric pottery. A small museum at the Nergal gate displays some Assyrian relief carvings.

#362: Subscribe to Playboy and read every issues from cover to cover for one year./
Date: 12-28-2014
Due Date: 12-28-2015
The Resolution: Whenever people joke that they "Look at Playboy for the articles," there's usually a sense of honesty to their proclamation. I wouldn't know, I was always too busy "looking" at the photos to read anything more than the jokes and single cell comics.
Then I realized in general I only look at the pictures in the magazine I "read." Notice the quotations marks moved from look to read. I don't "look" at everything I feast my eyes on. Now whether looking or "looking" both activities takes place on the internet these days and I "read" with the same style of glancing at headlines and skimming the opening paragraph to then make up a reality of what the rest of the article has to say.
I feel I'm not alone here and with so much information this snap judgment approach to obtaining our news is why we're doomed.
No one is on the same page as to what is going on in this world because history is all made up in everyone's head. The closest we come to connecting is tuning into sound bites from people that we mostly agree with.
How did I get here?
The resolution from what I've put together in my mind is that I'm going to spend one year reading up on high end stereo equipment while looking at boobies!!!

In a few words, tell us about your role in the creation of "Heathrow Bears Christmas"
Ben worked on the ad last year, Lynsey jumped on the furry bandwagon this year to help tell the Bairs' prequel.
What was the original brief for this campaign?
The brief was simply to bring the Bairs back for a second year, to yet again bring to life the emotion of returning home to friends and family at Heathrow at Christmas time.
What inspired you to approach the campaign this way?
The decision to go from sequel to prequel was quite an easy one. The most charming elements of last year's campaign really came from the small moments Edward and Doris shared as they navigated the airport – the glances, the quiet understanding. You see a partnership of two people (/bears) that's clearly been years in the making. By the end of last year's ad, you knew they were parents, knew they were grandparents. But you didn't quite know how they'd got there. The story brief quickly became not 'what happens next?', but very much 'what happened before?'
In tandem with this was presenting Heathrow as the unique and unchanging element. It has played the same role in people's moments of Christmas reunion for seventy years, and being able to 'go back in time' celebrates that.
In tandem with this was presenting Heathrow as the unique and unchanging element. It has played the same role in people's moments of Christmas reunion for seventy years, and being able to 'go back in time' celebrates that.
How difficult was it to sell the idea to Heathrow Airport?
Our client cried in the first presentation.
What was the biggest challenge you faced during the process?
Telling a story spanning fifty years, in two minutes, with central characters who don't employ facial expressions. The sheer logistics of the production, from sourcing original 60's aircraft, to rebuilding an authentic mid-century arrivals area in a disused terminal, to building thirty different bears who change outfits, haircuts and age just like the rest of us. This was thankfully handled with the talent, craft and patience of DOM&NIC, Outsider and The Mill.
What did you learn from the experience?
Everything looked better in the sixties.
What's a "behind the scenes" story that only you know about?
RAF Duxford is an amazing place. They allowed us to turn around a DC-10 aeroplane, whilst owning the collection of buses, vans and luggage transporters you see on the tarmac in the sixties period – they are all real and in full working order. They are however, tiny.
What do you think the advertising industry's New Year's resolution should be?
More fur.
What is your favorite holiday campaign of all time?
We'd like to present you with 'The Bear and Hare R' Us'. A beautifully crafted tale with the soundtrack to a generation.

Belgian Biscuit
A bit of a mish-mash, made from what I've got lying around.
Named after Betty McIntosh, New Westminster City Councillor extraordinaire.
Batch size: 5 gallons
Grain bill:
- 6 lb 12 oz Gambrinus ESB
- 1 lb 9 oz wheat
- 1 lb 8 oz Crystal 60/80
- 10.5 oz roasted barley
- 1 oz Centennial (10.25%) @ 60 min.
- 1 oz Mt Hood (5%) @ 30 minutes
- 0.5 oz Goldings (4.5%) @ 10 min.
Yeast: Wyeast 1762 (Belgian Abbey II)
August 21, 2010: 210 g DME + 2 litres water; boiled, cooled to 28C then pitched 2 small jam jars with Wyeast 1762 harvested from Betty's Belgian Pale. 18 hours later, the starter had taken off nicely...not bad for 8 months in the fridge!
Brew Day
August 27, 2010: Two-part brew day: mashing tonight, boiling & pitching tomorrow. Brought 7 gallons water to 165 F/74 C, then dumped in the cooler. Came down to 150 F/65.5 C, which is just perfect. Here's the grain before the water went in:
August 28, 2010: Up at 5:30am to start boiling. The temp was 130F -- not bad. One snag: I've run out of 1/2" tubing! After some fruitless searching, I got out a pot, ran the wort in there and dumped it in. I started the burner right away to save some time.
Gravity out of the mash was 1.050, which was just perfect. I threw the Mt. Hood in at 30 minutes by mistake -- they were originally going to be my aroma hops. Oh well, next time (maybe [[Hops2010|harvest time]]?).
Chilled down to 22C/72F and pitched at 8am with the help of my two young assistants. Cleanup done by 8:40am...not bad.
Fermentation had visibly started by 11:30am; by 6pm it was going like crazy. I love a good starter.
The taste of the wort was lovely and sweet. This ought to turn out nicely. The colour is a little closer to porter than stout...maybe a bit more roasted barley? I guess 10.5 oz instead of 16 really does make a difference. An improvement to make for next time.
9:30am and the blow-off tube sounds like a machine gun! Temp only 22C, so still good.
60 hours after pitching (2.5 days), it's slowed right down. The temp is quite calm, despite the melted/removed ice pack.
September 12, 2010: 65 g dextrose or so for 4 gal yield. FG 1.005, so 7.5% ABV. 15 litres yield. Hydro sample: rich dark brown colour, smooth mouthfeel. Bitter, bit of sourness...no sweetness at all, so I guess the crystal didn't actually affect much.
October 2, 2010: First tasting! Mouthfeel not too smooth...expected more from the barley flakes. It's dark enough to be a stout. The Belgian yeast flavour is in there, but not nearly as strongly as the Betty's Pale Ale was at this age. Not very carbed just yet, and not very bitter for all the roasted barley. Some roastiness. Remarkably drinkable for being this young; I thought it would be a lot greener.
October 9, 2010: The Belgian flavour has come through a lot more, and so has some sweetness. Still not carbed very much; almost like an English bitter.

The American Heart Association confirms that dogs can increase the quality of life and improve our health. (Taken from an OVRS email) this past year, the American Heart Association reported scientific evidence to support the notion that pets actually have the ability to improve our heart health.
And while there's no denying that there are times our pets drive us a little crazy, and can cause us heart ache, most pet owners were not surprised by this "discovery".
But for all the feel-good reasons there are when it comes to why pets are good for you, do you actually know the reasons that pets can help to keep us healthy? While the list could go on and on, here are the top two reasons that pet's are (scientifically) good for you…Pet Owners Are More Likely to Exercise
Those who own pets have more reason to get up and do something. They take more walks and are, in general, more active. Physical activity greatly decreases the risk of heart disease.
Most pet owners will tell you what a great and devoted friend their furry partner makes. Pet ownership offers a great support system that has been recognized for a long time. But owning pets can actually lower your body's reaction to stress.
While pets are not the only answer to the heart disease epidemic this country faces, they are a great part of the solution. Pet owners have long known that their furry friends improve their quality of life, and now there is evidence to support that.

Housing & Transportation >> Affordability >> Trends
Over the past 25 years, the proportion of King County residents in unaffordable housing has increased significantly.
FOR THE MOST RECENT DATA UPDATE for rent burden, please see Community Health Indicators
FOR THE MOST RECENT DATA UPDATE for mortgage burden, please see Community Health Indicators
Households that pay a high percentage of their income for housing have little left for other necessities. The quest for affordable housing (costing less than 30% of income) can mean moving far from family, friends, work, school, and childcare arrangements. People who live in unaffordable housing may scrimp on food and forego necessary healthcare and medications.
- From 1989 to 2002, the percentage of homeowners with mortgages in unaffordable housing more than doubled; the rate continued to rise until 2009 and declined significantly after 2009.
- The percentage of renters with unaffordable housing gradually increased until 2005, and has plateaued since then.
- The percentage of non-mortgage ("free-and-clear") homeowners in unaffordable housing has shown a gradual but significant increase from 1989 to 2014.
- Home ownership in King County declined from 63% in 1970 to 56.5% in 2013. The significant decrease after 2008 boosted the demand for rental housing.
- Millennials aren't buying: Home ownership rates for young adults dropped from 50% in 1980 to 25% in 2013.

Timeslive reports that the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA (Denosa) in North West has described the crippling effects of maladministration in the North West province.
Among the problems nurses were encountering according to the union were decomposing bodies, electricity blackouts and water shortages. "The situation has reached a point of no return for nurses who have been abused' exploited' neglected and deserted. The poor working conditions have seriously rendered the profession sub- standard service due to system failures aggravated by the corrupt government officials in the province'" the union said in a statement. It asserted that patients shared beds because of congestion; the nutritional needs of patients were not being met; there was no water in some of the sub districts' which affected maternity patients severely; there was a lack of medication supplies for chronic patients; and backup generators were non-functional when electricity went off. Smelling mortuaries with bodies of more than 150 days in some district hospitals has become the norm. Denosa said nurses had had enough and were no longer willing to tolerate such treatment. It said it was exploring all legal options "to put a stop to this situation."

We've seen this kind of smear time... Keith Jeffreys

This week the Washington Post published what can only be described as a complete slime job and what Paul McLeary at the Columbia Journalism Review described as a smear of Senator Barack Obama.

 <o:p></o:p>

We've seen this kind of smear time and again. Under the guise of reporting allegations about Obama's supposed links to Islam, the Post goes about furthering the allegations instead of demonstrating that the evidence that Obama is secretly a practicing Muslim simply does not exist. Journalistic integrity? Hardly.

This is the second time in a week the Post has managed print excellent examples of extraordinarily sloppy journalism. Last weekend, the Post published a commentary Lib*er*tar*ian [sic] by Reason Magazine writers, Editor-in-Chief Nick Gillespie and staff writer Matt Welch on the rise of Representative Ron Paul. In the course of the piece, they write: <o:p></o:p>

When conservatives feel comfortable mocking victims gunned down by
Clinton-era attorney General Janet Reno's FBI in Waco, Tex. In 1993,
it suggests that a complacent and increasingly authoritarian establishment
feels threatened.

 <o:p></o:p>

Apparently desperate to attract readers, they make the ridiculous statement that slipped by the fact checkers at the Washington Post. Keep in mind, this was written by two, count them, two writers from Reason. "Increasingly?" When did conservatives become any more "authoritarian" or "establishment" than they've been for decades?

Now for the whopper. Exactly where is the evidence that the FBI gunned down anybody in Waco in 1993? It's never been demonstrated by anyone despite the best attempts to push this conspiracy theory falsehood pushed by among others Dan Gifford in his "documentary" Waco: The Rules of Engagement. That particular piece of film-flam was later hyped by Michelle Malkin, generally known for her no-facts-needed- brand-of-journalism as pointed out here and of course by none other than, Reason Magazine in 1999.

In an attempt to discern where Gillespie and Welch found their information I placed a call to Gillespie. The call was not returned.

We join Committee to Protect Journalists' (CPJ) call for the immediate release of four American journalists arrested in Bahrain, including WAM!mer Anna Therese Day.
Anna and her crew were detained while reporting on the fifth anniversary of mass protests in Bahrain. According to CPJ, the Bahrain Ministry of Interior claims that Anna and three others were taken into custody for "entering the country under the false pretense of tourism and failing to register with the appropriate authorities."
The Kingdom of Bahrain ranks 163 out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index. Bahrain jailed at least five journalists in 2015, and has a track record of associating reporting on demonstrations with participation in protests.
We need your help. Call the Embassy of Bahrain at 202-342-1111 ext. 9 to demand Anna and her colleagues' immediate and safe release.

Microsoft has bolstered its Xbox One backwards compatibility lineup today with two new games: Mafia II and Prey.
Both Xbox 360 games are now fully playable on Microsoft's bulky telly box, so if you have them on disc simply pop it into your Xbox One and start playing. On the other hand, if you have a digital copy stored in the vaults somewhere, it will appear in the 'Ready to Download' section of the My Games tab.
The good news is you can still pick them up if you don't own them at all, as they're currently available on discount as part of the Xbox game deals for the week. In case you missed it, Splinter Cell: Conviction was last week's addition to the growing b/c lineup.
Developed by 2K Czech, Mafia II was originally released in 2010 for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360, and takes place in the fictional Empire Bay, which is based on New York City. The mobster sequel features an open-world setting and sees players rising through the criminal underworld as Vito Scaletta.
Finally, Prey hit stores in 2006 for last-generation systems and is well known for its arduous development cycle, having originally started out production way back in 1995. Human Head's planned sequel was ultimately scrapped before being revamped by Arkane Studios into the reboot we have today.

MANILA-- Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II on Sunday that he is willing to attend a Senate inquiry as proposed by Senator Grace Poe to call for a probe into the proliferation of fake news.
Poe, chair of the Senate committee on public information and mass media, said she was alarmed by the spread of fake news and cited the recent controversy involving Aguirre, who implicated members of the political opposition, including two senators, in the conflict in Marawi City.
Of course! Aguirre said in a text message sent to reporters when asked if he will attend once summoned to appear before a Senate hearing into his claims.
In the proposed hearing, Poe said Aguirre's sources of information, as well as the resources of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate such claims, will be looked into.
Aguirre also stood by his order for the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to build up a case against members of the political opposition due to their alleged involvement in destabilization plots against the Duterte administration.
Aguirre rejected the call of Liberal Party to scrap his order to NBI.
"I will be remiss in my duty if I have not issued that order," he said in a text message.
The LP, in a statement last Saturday, demanded Department Order 385 be revoked and for Aguirre to stop the political harassment of members of Congress and the opposition, even as we continue to study our legal options against him.
Aguirre stressed that investigating allegations or information involving criminal offenses is part of the mandate of the DOJ and NBI.
In Department Order No. 385 issued last week, the DOJ chief directed the NBI to probe the alleged meeting of some opposition lawmakers prior to the terror attacks in Marawi City perpetrated by the Maute group which he described as possibly a part of the destabilization plot against the administration.
He specifically instructed NBI Director Dante Gierran to investigate the supposed link of "some senators and other opposition leaders" to the alleged destabilization plot.
The order came after Aguirre bared information that members of the opposition, including the LP's Sen. Paolo Benigno Aquino IV and Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, went to Marawi City last May 2 to meet with local clan leaders.
Aguirre later cleared Aquino and personally apologized to the senator for his "confusion" on several information he received.
"Upon further verification, I was able to establish that Sen. Bam Aquino went to Marawi City on May 19, 2017 upon invitation of Governor Soraya Alonto-Adiong to promote the Go Negosyo Program. He was not present in the alleged meeting of opposition leaders said to have been held in Marawi City on May 2, 2017," Aguirre said in a statement.
Aguirre said that the information as well as the photo showing the alleged meeting -- which turned out to be from a fake news item -- did not come from him.
"I'm not spreading fake news. The photo did not come from me and the information was just given to me so I am having it investigated. I did not give, release or send to anyone any picture of any Marawi meeting. The picture of an alleged meeting allegedly taken in 2015 did not come from me," he explained.
In a statement issued on Friday, the DOJ said: What he did was to swiftly flashed one picture on his cellular phone, but he did not allow the media to take pictures of the same precisely because the same is pending verification.
For everyone's clarification, Justice Secretary would like to reiterate that during the press conference on Wednesday, June 07, 2017, he told the media that the information he got were very raw and he wanted to verify and investigate further, said the DOJ.
He repeatedly stated that he does not want to speculate pending the investigation. Only that the media didn't mention his repeated precautions that he is yet to fully verify the truth of the reported incident, the DOJ insisted.
Meanwhile, the Justice and Court Reporters Association (JUCRA) issued a statement over Aguirre's earlier statements that he was misquoted during his June 7 press conference where he dragged several opposition lawmakers into the Marawi siege.
As recorded in our videos and voice recorder and even in our Facebook Live coverages, we quoted Sec. Aguirre verbatim and only reported the facts to our viewers and readers -- including the fact that he showed a photo from his mobile phone supposedly showing the meeting between the senators and Muslim clans in Marawi last May 2, read the statement.
As responsible journalists, we also took the opportunity to perform our duty of verifying and counter-checking the information and photo that the Secretary has presented during the briefing, and found that several details and information were wrong, it added.
We remain committed to our role as a watchdog, especially in these times when 'fake news' have been spreading in social media and the truth is becoming scarce, it assured.

Reasonable. It could be heavy-lifting at the beginning to consider too much of VM-independent issues. On the other hand, it's interesting to read the findings and discussions here about the issues. It enlightens me to think more. Btw, I don't want to discourage, but can be slow down the code hacking a little bit. :-) At the moment, I think the most important is to understand the overall interface and infrastructure differences between Harmony and Parrot. To document them could be a better starting point, and the doc would be a strong fact to help the project be approved by Google...

Being a fitness junkie I love spending time in the gym. I have a full time job, I try to work out twice a day and I am an upcoming blogger. If for some reason, I haven't made it to the gym in two consecutive days than I am sure to be restless and agitated.
Well, it was about a year ago that I was struggling with my own self. There are times in life when you feel like you missing something. I am not going to shy away from saying this, I had a hard time adjusting to a new country with no friends. So I ended up investing most of my time in the gym. During my free time, I like to look for inspiration and new ways to work out.
I read and watched videos of Yoga poses and meditation techniques. Soon I was curious to start myself. Let me be honest. It wasn't easy in the beginning. I have being working out for years and my body was nowhere close to being flexible. Failure can result to 2 things. 1-You gave up OR 2-You try harder. I practice yoga for balance, peace and connecting to my soul.
Yoga is not about how deep you can go into a posture, Its about who you are when you get there.
One of my favourite is Dancers pose. It is a real endorphin booster. It requires flexibility, strength, balance and grace. On an emotional level, it is a freedom-enhancing posture that calms the mind and helps to resolve fears of betrayal and abandonment. This pose is a real chest-opener and breaks down barriers around the heart chakra, creating more openness to giving and receiving love.
Life is a balance of holding on, and letting go…

Matthew 7:1
The call was controversial - just as all really close calls in baseball are. Full speed the runner slid home and thinking he had just scored a game-altering run, he stood up only to face the words, "You're out!"
Now you know how it is when you've given your all to an effort and you stand up, only to hear the ump say, "You're out!" Just running for home when the play could be that close takes confidence and determination, not to mention a certain amount of competitiveness that doesn't just evaporate when you stand up. And it didn't with this teenager either.
Furious, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the ump in no uncertain terms why the call was wrong, why the ump needed glasses, and why he was clearly home and nobody could miss that call so badly. Before his temper really got out of hand, someone pulled him away, and he walked to the bench - livid.
1 Samuel 16:7
If this first spectacle was all you saw of the matter, don't fret - it was all almost everyone saw. But now, as Paul Harvey would say, "The rest of the story."
Long after the coaches, players, and fans had gone home, this typical teenage boy realized the impact of his decisions at home plate. Like most of us do when we are faced with the embarrassment of our actions, he could very well have made the logical next choice and just let it slide, reasoning: "Everybody does it." "The ump's probably heard that stuff a million times."
However, in the silence of his heart, this young man knew that just because everyone else does it, that doesn't make it all right. And so, long after his buddies had gone home, he tracked that ump back up to the school - not to vandalize his car and not to further harangue him. No, this typical teenage boy tracked this man down so he could tell him face-to-face: "I'm sorry, Sir. I was wrong."
It takes true courage to stand up in the face of those everyday indiscretions we all make and say, "I was wrong. I'm sorry." What makes this apology even more unique is that it wasn't meant for the world to hear, it wasn't meant to make the apologizer look better in the eyes of anyone else. It was meant simply as a way to stay true to his own heart.
In reality the story may well have ended there, and no one would have been the wiser. However, on the way out of town, the ump saw the superintendent and flagged him down to express his appreciation and surprise at the boy's apology. But the ump wasn't the only one who was surprised. The superintendent later talked to the coach to say how impressed he was that the coach had sent the boy to apologize.
Only problem: The coach hadn't sent him and knew nothing about the apology until that very moment.
A few days later the coach ran into the boy's father and remarked how impressed he was that his parents had sent the boy to apologize. You guessed it - they knew nothing about it either!
Our truest actions are those that come from the heart -not what someone makes us do because it's the right thing. I know, however, that although the parents didn't intervene on this occasion, they had intervened enough times in the past for this boy to have the ultimate courage and try to remedy a situation when it would have been easier to reason, "He'll get over it."
The truth is at one time or another we have all been this boy - acting out in rage, saying hurtful things, and feeling justified for doing so. The real test comes later when we are presented with the choice to make amends or to walk away thinking, "Ah, they'll get over it."
Maybe the "they'll" is a co-worker, a customer, a friend, a sibling, a child, or a spouse. Whomever it is, don't pass up the opportunity to get right with your own heart. Don't let them walk off the field and drive out of town, thinking, "Oh, well. No big deal. They'll get over it." The time for apology is now!
Courage is a matter of the heart. I wish that every person in the whole world had the courage of this one typical teenager. If they did, just imagine what "typical" might come to mean! (And a last caveat: The whole world starts with YOU!)

3.5 stars - Very low-key installment of the Jamie Brodie mysteries. This time, Jamie, boyfriend Pete, and Jamie's nephew Colin visit Pete's brother in New Mexico for a vacation, and get involved in a case about the death of a TV host for a show about aliens.
I'm already invested in this series so in this fifth volume, I once again enjoyed Jamie's straightforward, simplistic style of narration. The characters are, as always, appealing and realistic, and this time included Jamie's nephew, who at 12, is very gifted, but wasn't cloying or annoying.
There was some slight movement in Jamie and Pete's relationship as they continued to work through some of the few issues hampering them. Not as much progress as past books, but their relationship is still very strong, and they're a fun pair to read.
The mystery itself is very low-key and almost anti-climactic. If I was coming in on this volume without reading the previous four books in the series, I probably would have been bored and may not have continued further. Being entrenched into the Jamie Brodie world by this time means that I enjoyed the book, although it felt like a snack and not a satisfying meal.
For those interested in checking out the series, don't start here. You will get waaaaaay more out of thing if you start with part 1, Cited to Death.
Even though this installment felt a little lighter and less meaty (or tense), I really enjoy the series and love the characters, so am fully on board still and am very much looking forward to the next volume.

Imogen got a bike for her birthday last May.
Imogen can ride her bike.
Imogen thinks she can't.
'I'm unbalanced Mommy,' *snort*
For the last three days I have driven Imogen and her bike to a neighboring elementary school after hours and then hung onto the handle bars as she hurtles at high-speed along the paths around the schools shrieking like a banshee. She is having so much fun!
I don't think my lungs can take much more pounding…
It has got to be Andy's turn, right? Only Andy would kick her out into the street outside her home and tell her to get on with it – and then she would go into the garage and get out her scooter and we are back where we started…so for the next few evenings I will be heading to the elementary school for some more 'fun'.

Outdoors, kitties love to chase and catch birds. This can be a problem in your home, where your feline companions view your pet birdies as potential toys or snacks. Create peace between your furry and feathered friends with gentle training and physical separation between the two species.
Place your birds' cages in a room that your kitties can't access when you aren't around to supervise them. If this isn't possible, hang the birdcages from the ceiling, away from any furniture. Your feline companions won't be able to reach the birds, nor will they be able to climb to them. Remember to lock the cage doors so that the birdies don't get out of the cages.
Teach your kitties the "Leave it" command, typically used with pups. Say "Leave it" when your cats are trying to get to your birds (either in or out of their cages). Once they stop, quickly reward them with some yummy cat treats. Your kitties will soon learn that leaving the birds alone results in delicious treat rewards, something that will discourage them from bothering your feathered friends.
Squirt your kitties with water if they get too close to your birds and are attempting to harm or catch them. Kitties hate getting wet, but the water won't hurt them and it acts as a deterrent. You won't have to worry about it hurting your birds either, as they'll probably appreciate the shower.
Play with your feline companions daily for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, three to four times each day, recommends petMD. The exercise will tire out your kitties, reducing their interest in bothering your birdies. It will also keep them from becoming bored and looking at your birds as potentially fun toys to play with.
Teach your birds not to pester your kitties while you are supervising them. Some birds, especially larger parrots, can cause serious damage and pain with a well-placed bite. This type of aggression can then incite your kitties to retaliate with a potentially fatal swat or bite. Give your feathered friends some tasty treats of fruit and vegetables in the presence of the kitties to reward them for leaving the kitties alone.
Give your birds hiding spots within their cages, such as small cardboard boxes. They'll feel safe within these spaces and your kitties won't be as tempted to get to them if they can't see them.
Items you will need
- Cat treats
- Squirt bottle
- Cat toys
- Fruits and vegetables
- Small cardboard boxes
- Provide toys for your kitties to play with during the day. Reward them with tasty treats when they play with the toys instead of pestering your birds. This way your kitties will know that toys, not birdies, are for playing with.
- Avoid using feathered toys to play with your kitty. These types of toys mimic the look, feel and movement of your birdies. Encouraging your furry buddy to chase such toys will only serve to entice him to chase your birdies too.
- Don't place your birds' cages on high shelves in the hope that your kitties can't get to them. Your furry felines are very agile and can likely find a way to access the birds.

Concur Technologies - CNQR - close: 98.51 change: +0.08
Stop Loss: 96.90
Target(s): To Be Determined
Current Option Gain/Loss: Unopened
Average Daily Volume = 576 thousand
Entry on August -- at $---.--
Listed on August 16, 2014
Time Frame: 8 to 12 weeks
New Positions: Yes, see below
Why We Like It:
CNQR is in the technology sector. The company provides travel and expensive management solutions. The company was founded back in 1993. Their focus is helping companies control travel costs. The business has been growing over 23,000 customers and over 25 million users.
The company press release describes Concur as "the leading provider of spend management solutions and services in the world, helping companies of all sizes transform the way they manage spend so they can focus on what matters most. Through Concur's open platform, the entire travel and expense ecosystem of customers, suppliers, and developers can access and extend Concur's T&E cloud. Concur's systems adapt to individual employee preferences and scale to meet the needs of companies from small to large."
There is no denying that it has been a rocky year for CNQR investors. The stock struggled with resistance near $130.00 for over a month earlier this year. When the momentum names corrected lower in March shares of CNQR were crushed. The stock produced a two-month retreat down to $75.00.
Meanwhile earnings continued to improve. When CNQR reported earnings on April 29th they beat estimates by six cents and guided higher for the second quarter. Their most recent earnings report was August 4th. Wall Street expected a profit of $0.16 on revenues of $175.1 million. CNQR delivered a profit of $0.25 with revenues rising +28.6% to $178.4 million. Management also raised their 2014 guidance.
Stocks analysts are starting to notice and a few of them have upgraded their price targets on CNQR into the $110-115 region. If shares of CNQR can breakout past resistance near $100 and its 200-dma then it might sprint towards $110. That's because the stock has a significant chunk of short interest.
The most recent data listed short interest at 12.2% of the relatively small 55.5 million share float. Since the $100 mark is significant resistance a breakout could definitely spark some short covering. The point & figure chart is already bullish and projecting at $108 target.
Tonight we are suggesting a trigger to buy calls at $100.50.
Trigger @ $100.50

Average Daily Volume = 2.3 million
Entry on August -- at $---.--
Listed on August 16, 2014
Time Frame: 8 to 12 weeks
New Positions: Yes, see below
Why We Like It:
EXPE is in the services sector. The company is in the super competitive online travel industry with rivals like Priceline.com (PCLN) and Orbitz Worldwide (OWW).
EXPE is developing a serious trend of beating analysts' estimates with strong profit and revenue growth.
EXPE last reported earnings on July 31st. Analysts were expecting a profit of $0.75 a share on revenues of $1.44 billion. EXPE blew those numbers away with a profit of $1.03 a share. Revenues soared +24.0% to $1.49 billion. That's up from $1.2 billion the prior quarter. EXPE has now delivered double-digit year over year revenue growth for six quarters in a row.
EXPE's bookings continue to soar. Gross bookings were up +29%. Domestic gross bookings were up +35% and international gross bookings rose +21%. Both hotel revenues and air travel revenues were up more than +20% each.
Last time we traded EXPE we noted that
Billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper's Appaloosa Management is also bullish on EXPE. The latest 13F filing showed that Appaloosa had initiated a new stake in EXPE in the first quarter of 2014. In the second quarter Appaloosa added another 201,000 shares of EXPE.
The stock popped on its earnings results but have since spent the last two weeks digesting gains in a sideways consolidation. Now it looks like EXPE is poised to breakout and could make a run towards the $95-$100 area. The point & figure chart is bullish and forecasting at $105 target.
Tonight we are suggesting a trigger to buy calls at $86.25.
Trigger @ $86.25

Free care leavers from the burden of council tax debt
Care leavers can be a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to council tax.
When a young person leaves care and moves in to independent accommodation, they begin to manage their own budget fully for the first time.
They find themselves grappling with the challenges of living independently; managing a household, continuing education or seeking employment, as well as managing their personal finances and paying household bills for the first time - often without the support of family or previous financial education to help them navigate this.
You can help
Our Wolf at the door report reveals that council tax debt can be a particularly frightening experience for care leavers. What can start out for many care leavers as falling slightly behind can very quickly escalate to a court summons and enforcement action being taken.
We are asking councils to make care leavers exempt from paying council tax until they turn 25; giving these young people a few valuable years to learn how to manage their finances and have a better chance at avoiding problem debt in the future.
What is the situation in your area?
We are calling on councils to exempt care leavers from paying council tax until age 25.
Use our map to take action – simply type your postcode in the search box to find out how many care leavers are affected in your area, and then click the button to ask your council to ensure a fairer start for care leavers.
Listen to our podcast
Listen to our audio briefing on council tax exemption for care leavers, and hear from policy experts, councillors, and young care leavers about how this policy can be implemented and what it means for young people.
You can also download our podcast direct from iTunes (running time 15 minutes).
Councils are supporting young care leavers
Use our map to contact your council.
Already, a range of local authorities across the country have introduced measures to exempt care leavers from council tax, including:
A number of district councils have also introduced this change including:
- Bassetlaw
- Basingstoke
- Broadland
- Broxtowe
- East Devon
- East Lindsay
- Gedling
- Hinkley & Bosworth
- Mendip
- Mole Valley
- Norwich
- Rushcliffe
- South Holland
- South Kesteven
- Stroud
- Taunton Deane
- West Oxfordshire
- Woking
- Wychavon
If you know your district council has already adopted this policy, but you can't see their name on this list then please let us know.
Tools for meeting with your council

Estimates of care leavers within each local authority are from a Department for Education Statistical First Release on numbers of children looked after in England for the year ending 31 March 2015.
Local authority tables SFR34/2015, table LAF3 provide numbers of care leavers aged 19, 20 and 21. We doubled the sum of care leavers aged 19, 20 and 21 to arrive at an estimate for the total number of care leavers aged 18 to 25 in each local authority.

What! Did DD edit the live streaming when Kalmadi was speaking? Seriously??? Oh gosh, shameless DD guys... It was a real spectacle man, not just the opening ceremony...the way Kalmadi was booed by the entire crowd! WOW, it made my day 100%.. :D
I am extremely relieved to learn that the opening went as planned! This is truly a landmark event for India!
Good review dude...
AND WTF is wrong with the BBC guys! They are plain jealous!
They cant get it out of their head that India is moving ahead...their mental image is that of slum and poverty n all that...and they dont want to move ahead. Simple.
Everyone makes mistakes, even we made .. Some Big ones infact..
But we took the initaives to rectify it and make it a memorable occasion...
i can understand when BBC or CNN, put negative publicity coz this is something can do never do, Unite for a general cause!
But wt i cant understand is our media ppl following their foreign friends in wounding India, y they r not understanding that India is not just abt the govt, its abt a country with more than 100 million ppl..they hurting each one of them..
Well regarding CWG, irrespective of wt ever mistake we did, we made a great start, the world should envy for that..
I dont knw whn Mr.Tom of BBC, talked abt poverty and misery and wasting money... Is it that there is no poor people in Britian, or you cant expect that after 63 yrs, india cant hav that much money?
I think he just wishes we were puppets of them...
again praveen.. good post... u knw i'm seeing so many supports for CWG aftr all the negative publicity...
It was a very impressive ceremony. The Commonwealth games has a munificent tradition during their a history. I think that India, especially Delhi is creating a fantastic place for this type of sporting event. The India is a huge economy and their developer´s possibilities are unbelievable. Good luck Canada !
Good coverage and enjoyed till the end until I found that Mr. Bharat Bala, the mind behind the ceremony, was not at all mentioned!! He deserves a majority of the accolades, though not intend to lower the hardwork of performers.
I would like to exchange links with your site crusadertvm.blogspot.com
Is this possible?
no, DD dint cut the signal...I changed the channel:P i dint want to see that SOB on tv...but DD did cut the signal in between for the ADs and gave us the deferred live:(
truely man..landmark!
exactly..BBC and the rest of them in Britain, r still in a colonial hangover...They dint expect India to put up a great show and when that happened they were plain jealous..
@devil incarnate
yea...our media should've shown some sense and given us a balanced coverage...I was surprised to see the courts and village..It looks truely world class...and what did this morons show us! all credibility of Indian media went down the drains...
@Jay Banks
welcome to the blog Jay...nice to see someone from Canada(one of India's tough competitiors in this games) here..India is on the upswing and it has lots of potential in every field...Its an untapped market...and the world still hasn't seen the county's true might...
I never knew bharat bala and shywam benegal were behind the whole thing until I heard it on tv the next day...:(
reveal ur identity :D else how can I exchange links :D
I saw the re run this morning, and was left gaping at the sheer scope of it all! It WAS wonderful, no matter what anyone says. Showcasing Indian ethos and culture to its best!
But well, CW, what worth does it have, finally?

PRINT TRENDS: Black and White Stripes
Some inspiration for the black and white stripes current trend. I've been planning on going over this sooner, but played with other projects instead. Since it's a popular one more recently, It's time to go explain it. Stripes are a classic print and pattern that come back into mainstream fashion every few years. However, in the goth subculture, black and white stripes are a staple print. What is nice about this for people that enjoy goth styles, is that shopping for new striped clothing and accessories is very easy. With any popular trend, there are some simple to over designed pieces. With this trend, you want to keep it simple. We'll cover what that looks like this week, and perhaps a striped accessory tutorial. We'll also look at the black and white trend, outside of stripes, and with them.

Smart gamblers know that Blackjack is one of the few games offered in today's casinos that can offer the player a slight edge over the house. Doing that takes practice and study, but any duffer who sits down at the table is trying his luck at a game with the slimmest casino margin of them all. Although one does not need to know how to count cards or exactly what to do with a 16 v. a dealer 10 to have a good time, it is helpful to understand the mechanics of actually playing the game.
Fortunately, Casino UK (http://www.casinouk.com) has released a simple infographic that will have players looking like old pros as soon as they sit down at the Blackjack table. It covers both scenarios a player might encounter at the green baize.
Face-up Blackjack
There are two variants of Blackjack in casinos: One is dealt from what's called a shoe, and those cards are delivered face-up. The other is dealt from a single or double deck in the dealer's hand, and those are delivered face-down. The infographic shows what to do in each situation.
In the shoe variation where cards and dealt face-up, the most important thing to remember is that you should NOT touch the cards. The infographic shows that to signal to the dealer that you want a hit, players simply drag an index finger on the felt. To stand, a player need only wave a hand over the cards as shown.
Face-down Blackjack
As the infographic shows, the player picks up the cards in the face-down variation. It is important to remember to touch the cards with only ONE hand. To signal for a hit, players scrape the corner of the cards lightly on the table. Whenever it's time to stand, the cards are placed face-down under the bet.
Casino UK explains that gaming establishments require the use of hand signals so that unambiguous instructions are given to the dealer. Another reason is that casino surveillance always needs to know visually just what is going on at the Blackjack table.
PS – Be sure to check out Casino UK's new mobile casino – now you can play blackjack on the go!

Stokes takes England past 500-run barrier against India
RAJKOT, India (AP) England scored 537 runs in 159.3 overs in their first innings on Day 2 of the first test against India, with Ben Stokes (128) scoring his fourth test hundred.
It is the third highest total for England in test cricket on Indian soil. The all-rounder reached his hundred off 173 balls. His stay at the crease lasted 235 balls, including 13 fours and a six.
Ravindra Jadeja (3-86) struck two quick blows after the lunch break, as the visitors went from 450-6 to 465-8. Chris Woakes (4) was caught behind, and then Adil Rashid (5) skied one to Umesh Yadav at mid on.
Zafar Ansari (32) then put on 52 runs with Stokes for the ninth wicket, and thus helped take England past the 500-mark in the 143rd over.
It was the first time since 2012-13 that a visiting team had crossed this barrier on Indian soil. England was the last to do it when it had scored 523 runs in Kolkata.
India managed to pull back the scoring rate in the final hour before tea, as the batsmen scored at only 2.4 per over.
Stokes was then caught behind just before the scheduled break in play, as Saha held on down leg off Yadav (2-108). India earned an extension to the session, with Ansari and Stuart Broad (6 not out) putting on 20 runs for the final wicket.
Amit Mishra (1-98) then brought the innings to a close trapping Ansari lbw just before tea.

Why Use The Forex Killer?
Posted in Forex
The global economy is experiencing a rapid growth of the foreign exchange market. There is an impressive growth in investment and trade in the Forex market. More players are into Forex trading. The beliefs and thinking of the players too influence and impact the Forex market in the way investment and trading takes place. If the investor loses confidence on any destination or country or currency, the investor will pull out the investment from the country or currency, and invest some where else or some other currency where the trader and investor have more confidence. There could be many reasons why the investor loses confidence. It may be because of political instability. Or it may be financial instability. One can see that vast sums of money simply flee into some offshore accounts. A favorite safe haven for many is Switzerland. The secrecy laws related to banking, bank accounts and transactions have earned the confidence of many. Swiss Franc as a result has been a steady and strong currency.

Moms deserve the utmost respect and tribute not just on Mother's Day but all year through. I've just attended the Pamper's Salutes Moms launch at the Crowne Plaza Galleria today reflecting on my own memories with my son and how I've managed to take care of him since birth. The event was done in partnership with Hobbes & Landes, Gymboree, The Picture Company, The Spa and The Medical City pampering guests with delightful treats for themselves and their babies with comprehensive short talks on the importance of sleep, infant skin care, post-pregnancy pampering and capturing significant mom and baby moments and more inspirational stories from the special celebrity guest, Ms. Vina Morales.
I really enjoyed with moms and their babies at the event and it reminded me of my son's baby habits on sleeping while the short talks were being discussed about it. I couldn't help myself but borrow someone else's baby just to touch those small little hands and gagged to make the baby smile.
Funny how the babies I've tried carrying became so comfortable in my arms that they all fell asleep. One of the grandmother was surprised how his grandchild played with me since he was always choosy about people who wants to carry him. She said that I probably had "a mother's instinct" resembling the real mother's affection that the baby never wanted to leave my arms.
Sleep is one of the ways moms can help encourage their infant's development according to Dr. Jacqueline Navarro of The Medical City. It is the most essential factors affecting the growth and development of the child and all mothers should know that infants up to 6 months require more than 14 hours of sleep to better grow, heal body tissues, learning and processing memory and central nervous system repair. I've seen babies wary of the surroundings and kept crying because of lack of sleep. Play is another way for parents to help support baby's development and Hobbes and Landes, the unique specialty store created to enhance family moments gave recommendations on toy selections from their Tiny Blessings Pavilion including the award-winning sleep toys, Sleep Sheep to go and Gentle Giraffe to go.
Experts from Gymboree Play and Music showed selected moms how to sing and play with the babies to help spur development. They introduced the Mirror Tummy Time, an activity that helps infants in their physical development by strengthening the muscles in their neck and back and Sensory Prop exploration to help promote brain development for babies, singing games and movements to help them learn body awareness.
Soon after, moms learned more knowledge about skin care for newborns with Dr. Ma. Lourdes Palmero, a Pediatric Dermatologist Consultant of The Medical City identifying two most common skin care problems of infants- cradle cap and diaper dermatitis. Cradle cap or seborrhoeic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of the scalp, where thick grassy scales appear on the baby's scalp. This can be caused by yeast growing on the scalp or increased hormones from the moms which results to greater activity on the oil glands of the baby's scalp. I remembered my own son's scalp that time that I used to carefully scrape with my own fingers and my granddaughter from my niece suffering from diaper rash. I felt relieved using Pampers then that really helped ease diaper rash. Pampers Stages New Baby is especially designed to keep baby's skin healthy and comfortable because of its softest ever cottony cover plus a hypo-allergenic lotion with aloe extract that cares for baby's delicate skin.
Before the introduction of the special guest, mommies and the media were treated to a delicious lunch buffet by Crowne Plaza Galleria.
I was still enjoying sampling the array of dessert choices in the buffet when they've introduced Ms. Vina Morales. Being a Pampers Active Baby Ambassador, she agreed that Pampers Active Baby was great at keeping her almost 2-year old daughter Ceana dry so she could enjoy playtime. Pampers Active Baby was even voted no.1 when it comes to dryness by Filipino moms. We all witnessed the live demonstration called the Pampers Dryness Challenge putting baby's current diaper to the test versus Pampers Active Baby with selected moms. Pampers Active Baby really absorbed the water poured faster and it was the only diaper who stayed completely dry, even after 150ml of water was poured into it and pressure in the form of weights were applied.
Finally, Andrea Dumangcas, Marketing Manager of The Spa shared tips on post-pregnancy pampering and the need for moms to have "me-time" to maintain well-being. She recommended women to put aside half an hour while the baby is asleep for their own beauty care. Feeling good about themselves will better exude a positive attitude which the babies will imbibe. She also advised moms to do "bust" exercises and gently exfoliating around the bust area once a week to improve skin texture. The Picture Company was also there to share information on their services and packages, including the Annual Membership which allows families to enjoy unlimited portrait sessions.
Goody bags and raffle prizes were given away from different partners and I was so happy winning an annual membership to Gymboree which I hope to share with my granddaughter and a gift certificate from one of my favorite The Spa. Pampers and its partners in "Pampers Salutes Moms" campaign will also be launching a nationwide promo starting May 19 to allow moms all over the country to choose from a menu of exciting offers and discounts from Hobbes & Landes, Gymboree Play & Music, The Picture Company and The Spa for every P1000 purchase of Pampers.

225th Anniversary
Nano Nagle's Death
(April 26, 1784 – 2009)
How often have we seen her passing
with steady composure
through the rigours of every season
to tend her little flock?
How often have we seen her
after a well spent day,
returning through the darkness of night,
dripping with rain, mingled in the bustling crowd-
moving thoughtfully along
by the faint glimmer of a wretched lantern,
withholding from herself the necessities of life
to administer the comforts of it to others….
— Dr. Coppinger 1794
