I just got off the phone with a parent of one of my students from last year. What a wonderful student she is! I will truly miss her next year (well, in a few weeks, anyway) when she isn't in my class. I've been struggling with an issue I've had since the end of the year where she was put on the wrong team (6th grade has two teams--purple and white) by a computer error. You would think that the people in charge would listen to my explanation and fix the problem, but they WILL NOT BUDGE. No matter what I say or do, they just repeat their stance...that they don't change the team a student is placed on unless there is a safety issue. Great. I think your policy is wonderful! Good for you! It really does help teachers and parents understand that we know what we are doing. HOWEVER...this was a computer error! I'm not asking you to change her team because she needs to be with her friends or because I don't like her teachers...I"m asking you to change her team because the computer put her on the opposite team that I asked her to be put on....the team that her parents and I chose for her.
Sorry to vent here, but I needed to get it out. I wish I could help her more and get her on the right team...but no one is listening!

Five facts about Michael Phelps' 5 gold medals...
1) If Michael Phelps were a country (Phelpsylvania, perhaps), he'd be tied for third overall in gold medals won.
2) In the total medal count, Phelps would be tied for 12th overall with the Netherlands.
3) India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Mexico and Bangladesh (appx. combined population = 2.1 billion) have earned a total of four Olympic medals in Beijing. Phelps (appx. population = 1) has five.
4) Phelps has won five of the eight gold medals awarded in the men's swimming competition.
5) Excluding the United States and Australia, the rest of the world has earned a total of five golds in the men's and women's swimming competition. Phelps -- well, you get the picture.
I stole this from yahoo, but I still love it!

I HAD to post this...
This was posted on my birth board (a group of women I talk to online that are all due in October with babies). It's hilarious and VERY true. I hope you aren't offended but...I HAD to post this.
Dear Non-Pregnant Person,
I hope you find these guidelines helpful in your interactions with
pregnant women as failing to follow them may result in serious physical
harm. If you are thinking, surely she doesn't mean me- then you should
probably read this twice.
1) The appropriate response to a couple telling you they are having a
baby is "Congratulations!" with enthusiasm. Any other response makes you an ####
2) Through the wonders of science, we now know that babies are made ONLY
by the mother and father- not grandparents. Unless the baby is in your
uterus or you are the man that helped put it there, you may not ever use
the phrase "my baby".
3) On the same note, unless you made the baby as defined in #2, the
pregnancy, birth and raising of the child are not about you. You do not
have input. No one wants to hear your opinion unless they ask for it.
4) The body of a pregnant women should be treated the same as any other
body. You would not randomly touch someone's stomach if they were not
pregnant, nor would you inquire into the condition of their uterus,
cervix or how they plan to use their breasts. Pregnancy does not remove
all traces of privacy from a woman.
5) Likewise, no women wants to hear comments on her weight- ever. A
pregnant woman does not find it flattering that you think she is about
is pop, must be having twins, looks swollen or has gained weight in her
face. Telling her she looks too small only makes her worry that she is
somehow starving her baby. Making such comments invite her to critique
your physical appearance and you may not act offended. The only
acceptable comment on appearance is "You look fabulous!".
6) By the time we are 20-30 years old, most of us have picked up on the
fact that the summer is hot. We are hot every summer when we are not
pregnant. We don't need you to point out that we will be miserably hot
before the baby comes.
7) There is a reason that tickets to L&D are not yet sold on
Ticketmaster. Childbirth is actually not a public event. It may sound
crazy, but some women really do not relish the idea of their mother, MIL
or a host of other family members seeing their bare butt and genitals.
Also, some people simply feel like the birth of their child is a private
and emotional moment to be shared only by the parents.
8) Like everything else is life, unless you receive an invitation, you
are NOT invited. This includes doctor appointments, ultrasounds, labor,
delivery, the hospital and the parents home. You do not decide if you
will be there for the birth or if you will move in with the new parents
to "help out". If your assistance is desired, rest assured that you will
be asked for it.
9) If you are asked to help after the birth, this means you should clean
up the house, help with cooking meals, and generally stay out of the
way. Holding the baby more than the parents, interfering with
breastfeeding and sleeping schedules and making a woman who is still
leaking fluid from multiple locations lift a finger in housework is not
10) The only people entitled to time with the baby are the parents.
Whether they choose to have you at the hospital for the birth or ask for
you to wait three weeks to visit, appreciate that you are are being
given the privilege of seeing their child. Complaining or showing
disappointment only encourages the parents to include you less.
Can my pregnant girls relate? I especially relate to number 2, 3 and 5!

Classroom Post!
I figured since the name of my blog is "Life as Mom, Wife and Teacher" that maybe I should update you all on the "teacher" part? I have just under three weeks of summer vacation left, and believe it or not, I've been working in my classroom since July.
...and this is the whole board and BBs on the side. (You can see Dougie playing with his car on the desks.)
Time for lunch and then maybe a nap!

A Baby Shopping Spree!
Saturday morning started off with Elaine calling us to ask us what kind of car seat we wanted for baby #2 and then just a few hours later she showed up with the car seat AND a new breastpump. I love her, she spoils me so! (I didn't take a picture of the breastpump, I think it's great, but there's no need to share it!) So here's the new car seat! It will fit all the old bases we have from Dougie (Dougie's car seat was ruined by the water in our basement).

Thoughts for a Monday
I went to school to work today and was able to put up fadeless bulletin board paper on two of my bulletin boards. I ran out of the border I was using and instead of taking off what I had already used I decided to put Dougie in the car and go back to the teacher store and see if they had more (they didn't). For some reason, the minute we walk into the teacher store, Dougie poops in his diaper. Man, this one was stinky too! I finished up my shopping quickly and went to the car to change his diaper. I had planned on going back to school, but my plans changed once I realized the wipes were missing from the diaper bag! Grr!
Off to Target we went. I bought a travel pack of wipes and our crisis was averted. However, being in Target made me think of a lot of things...even though I had a baby shower with Dougie and I have almost everything I need for baby, there are a lot of things I still need to buy. Here's a list, just to make me feel better.
-newborn pacifiers
-breast pads
-alcohol pads (for cleaning the belly button)
-another boppy (for upstairs)
-new sheets for the crib
-sensitive wipes
-slippers (both Nik and I need some!)
-car seat
-winter cover for the car seat
-breast pump
-changing table pad
-BPA free bottles
And that's all I can think of right now! It makes me insanely stressed out that I need to get all these things AND get ready for school to start as well. When I break it down to 4 weeks until school starts and 6 weeks after the baby comes, it REALLY doesn't seem like 10 weeks is a long time! I've got to get cracking!

We decided it was time to try out the movies with Dougie this weekend. The weather was pretty crappy this morning, so we packed up the diaper bag (with milk and cookies for the movie and some for Rawson!) and we were off!
We told Dougie that we were going to see Ross at work and that we were going to watch a movie on a very big TV...he really had NO CLUE what we were talking about, but we went in, chatted with Ross and gave him his cookies and then headed to the theatre. We did it right, we got popcorn and LOTS of napkins, since the kid behind the counter smothered it in butter (Dougie didn't seem to mind!) We got to the theatre with enough time to get settled, we put Dougie in between us, only problem was, he didn't weigh enough to hold the seat down, it almost folded in on him! I remembered seeing booster seats in the hallway, so I went off on a mission to find one. It made it so much easier for him to see the screen and the chair didn't fold up on him anymore...great invention!
Once he was seated comfortably, it was like he knew exactly what to do...he sat there, eating popcorn out of a HUGE bad and never took his eyes off the screen. It was GREAT!
We made it almost an hour into the movie and Dougie seemed a little bit antsy. At one point he did turn to me and ask me to go home, but once the movie got going again, he was really into it. WALL-E was adorable. Very cute and worth a see. We'll definitely be buying it on DVD!

According to a recent poll, one in five people have lost touch with a brother or sister.You can add our sun to that list too.
Stars, like puppies, are born in litters. We humans usually give birth to one offspring at a time. For us, the birth of twins is rare, triplets even rarer, and quintuplets downright freakish. But for stars, multiple births are the norm. In fact, it�s unusual for a star to be born without siblings. Lots and lots of siblings.
Star birth takes place in giant clouds of gas and dust that are slowly squeezed by gravity until they fragment into stars. Depending on its size, a single cloud can spawn dozens to millions of stars. These litters usually disperse over time as siblings drift apart, tugged this way and that by the gravitational pull of other passing stars, star clusters and gas clouds.

Porsche Cayenne Wins AutoPacific Ideal Vehicle Award for Premium Luxury Crossover SUV1
Cayenne is the top rated Premium Luxury XSUV based on owner ratings in AutoPacific's 2011 Ideal Vehicle Research. As the class winner, owners are pretty satisfied with the way the vehicle is executed with a few exceptions. Almost 35% want better interior storage in their Cayenne. About 25% want more cargo room and more infotainment technology. Over 20% want better visibility and more power. Owners like the ride, size and seat comfort. Cayenne edges out second place BMW X5 for its category win.
Premium Luxury XSUV
These Premium Luxury XSUVs are built to coddle occupants on the road, not off it. The Premium Luxury XSUV segment has many premium offerings such as the Porsche Cayenne, Infiniti FX, and Audi Q7. They tend to compromise towing and off-road capability for comfort and/or fuel economy.
Ideal Vehicle Award
Each year AutoPacific surveys new car and light truck buyers via mail and Internet about their new vehicle in order to learn more about their purchase experience, attribute importance and satisfaction, lifestyle, preferences, vehicle use, personal characteristics, desired features and more. Respondents to this survey are owners of new 2011 model-year cars and trucks purchased from September through December 2010. The questionnaire was administered in January and March 2011. The 2011 Ideal Vehicle Awards are based on scores developed using results from a part of this survey that focuses on the consumers' desire to change their vehicle if given the opportunity. Respondents rate 15 attributes indicating whether they want them to be changed (larger, smaller, more or less) or not changed (stay the same) after having driven their vehicle for 90 days. Those vehicles wanting the LEAST CHANGE win the IVA for their class. A total of 72,917 respondents provided input for these awards.

The first thing Jimmi Simpson does is apologize. He'd had to reschedule our conversation last minute to finish up work on a new project. "Me and my best friend are writing this movie right now for Blumhouse"—the production company famous for its low-budget hit horror films, including Get Out, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious—"and Hulu that we start shooting on Monday, and we had to get the draft before the crack of dawn," he tells me, sounding slightly tired, but with an electric undercurrent of excitement. "It's this kind of wonderful dissection of the awfulness of men," Simpson explains, then hesitates. "We're kind of trying to shine a spotlight on the damage they do without even understanding it. We're making a horror movie out of that."
Advertisement – Continue Reading Below
Simpson's best friend is Psych's James Roday, so I have to ask—about a film written by two men, that tackles this topic in the #metoo era, being produced to coincide with International Women's Month next year—Are you working with any women on the project? The answer, thankfully, is yes. Simpson and Roday are not only the only men on the project, but they are shirking their "star" salaries to distribute the funds evenly in the hopes of setting some kind of industry precedent: "It's not just 'We want to make a horror movie.' We don't want to just say something, but actually do something."
In short, Jimmi Simpson really doesn't seem to be an awful man—he just plays them on TV. You may recognize him as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Ian McPoyle, who sweats incessantly, drinks copious amounts of milk, and likes to watch his siblings have sex. Or you may know him as Breakout King's Dr. Lloyd Lowery, a disgraced psychologist who sells prescriptions to college students to fund his gambling addiction. But those roles are almost harmless when compared to the character that propelled Simpson to critical stardom in 2016. Simpson's principled William was a light in the dark underbelly of HBO's Westworld until season 1's shocking reveal that he'd eventually be twisted into the Man in Black (Ed Harris), a cruel madman obsessed with the violence and mystery of the live-action amusement park. The straw that broke William's back? Romantic rejection from Westworld host Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood). For the record, Simpson's not at all on board with the evil that took over his character: "A woman broke your heart, you don't need to kill the world," he says.
"It's not like 'perfect man turned monster,'" Simpson explains. "He is an archetypical man, in that he was trained in one element of expectation and when that doesn't happen…'Fuck it, I'm gonna blow shit up.' I think the commentary is that many men have that potential to jump out of their skin when they're told 'No.'"
It's this introspection that makes Simpson's portrayal of Delos head William so haunting in season 2. Surrounded by robots becoming more and more human, it's easy to see Ed Harris' William as some sort of endgame rogue: the big bad in a black suit and hat. But in the show's past timelines, Simpson's William—manipulating his family and attempting to clone his father-in-law, only to callously destroy each failed simulacrum—is a much more human monster.
"Season 1 was about, 'OMG, they're the same man.' But season 2 is, 'Oh, God, they really are the same man,'" he says. To Simpson, the biggest revelation was how fast William's descent into evil was. The first time we see young William in season 2, the timeline has moved forward by only a few years, and he's already so different to the white-hatted version we first met: "As opposed to a very slow descent from William to the Man in Black, we made that decision of, Broken heart created the Man In Black."
Advertisement – Continue Reading Below
"I really had not speculated how dark William was," Simpson says. "I was kind of stunned by the reveal of how complicated and truly broken William is this season." That's putting it mildly; in the latest episode of Westworld, we finally see a hint that the Man in Black is reckoning with the consequences of his obsession with the park and its possibilities, but it comes only after he murders his daughter, convinced she was a host trying to distract him from finding The Door in Ford's game.
But the first season's William had light in him; he was the hero of at least part of the story. Is there any potential for William to break his cycle? "I do think everybody has the potential to be better than they've showed. I'm not a fan of Donald Trump in any way, but if he would stop being a dick and change the way he's behaving…"
Unfortunately, we don't know what would happen if Trump could change, because at this moment Simpson asks me to give him a second. A bird has flown into his home, and he wants to make sure it gets out safely. Very gently, he coaxes the bird to the door with mutterings of "Hey, buddy," and then he's back to the phone as though nothing had happened. A less Man in Black moment is almost inconceivable. "So, of course there's potential," he continues. "The problem is when the weight of all of your actions cumulatively make it impossible for anyone to ever accept you again. Goddammit, he's very, very flawed."
Pondering the dark side of masculinity and humanity is not something Simpson does lightly. He acknowledges his privilege immediately when discussing his forthcoming film project, written before the recent Hollywood #MeToo revelations began. "What [#MeToo] did was give our producers a reason to talk about it," Simpson says. "As artists, we're trying to say something or represent an idea and producers are not exactly thinking about that—they have business to do. James had this idea two years ago, and then #MeToo happened; that makes it more appealing for producers to say, 'Well, yeah, we can get behind that.'"
While Simpson may have made his name playing quirky, eclectic weirdos, he's using the platform he's acquired thanks to Westworld and, even more recently, as Detective Russell Poole in Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G., to say something. "When you're an actor, and you're not some heartthrob-looking matinee idol, pretty much the roles will choose you for the majority of your career, and you'll ask, 'How can I add value?'" he says, laughing. "That's all I've ever done, was say, 'How do I not fuck this up?'"
Now there's so much more for him to explore. "I tell my agent and manager, 'Hey, people seem to care about me and what I'm doing right now. Let's take this opportunity and only do stuff that matters a little bit, that says something, that's not just mindless entertainment.'" Simpson laughs, a little self-deprecatingly. "I just want to be a healing part of the world. I know that chaos is a given and everything is falling apart, so I don't want to add to it." Other men of Hollywood? Take note.

Children's Home Musical Experiences Across the World (Hardcover) (Beatriz Ilari)
About this item
This book offers a fresh and diverse perspective on home musical activities of young children from a variety of countries, including; Brazil, Denmark, Israel, Kenya, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the UK, and the United States. Narrowing their study to 7-year-olds from middle-class families, the articles in this volume argue that home musical experiences provide new and important windows into musical childhoods as they relate to issues of identity, family life, gender, culture, social class, and schooling. Though childhood musical engagement differs considerably, it has direct implications for a better understanding of music education and childhood development. Using a wiki to share data and research across time and space, this volume is a model for collaborative cross-cultural research and is centered on the home as a primary research site for children's musical engagement.

text: Background Histamine is an amine widely known while a peripheral inflammatory mediator and while a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. hydroxylase-positive neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) of mice. Results We found that histamine sets off microglial phagocytosis via histamine receptor 1 (H1Ur) account activation and ROS creation Bibf1120 via L1Ur and L4Ur account FLICE activation. By using apocynin, a wide NADPH oxidase Bibf1120 (Nox) inhibitor, and Nox1 knockout rodents, we discovered that the Nox1 signaling path is normally included in both phagocytosis and ROS creation activated by histamine in vitro. Remarkably, both apocynin and annexin Sixth is v (utilized as inhibitor of PS-induced phagocytosis) completely removed the De uma neurotoxicity activated by the shot of histamine in the SN of adult Bibf1120 rodents in vivo. Blockade of L1Ur protected against histamine-induced Nox1 loss of life and reflection of De uma neurons in vivo. A conclusion General, our outcomes showcase the relevance of histamine in the modulation of microglial activity that eventually may get in the way with neuronal success in the circumstance of Parkinsons disease (PD) and, ultimately, various other neurodegenerative illnesses which are followed by microglia-induced neuroinflammation. Significantly, our outcomes also open up appealing brand-new points of views for the healing make use of of L1Ur antagonists to deal with or ameliorate neurodegenerative procedures. Electronic ancillary materials The online edition of this content (doi:10.1186/s12974-016-0600-0) contains supplementary materials, which is normally obtainable to certified users. check (whenever suitable) or one-way ANOVA implemented by Bonferronis multiple evaluation check, as indicated in the amount tales. Beliefs of G?0.05 were considered significant. All record techniques had been performed using GraphPad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software program Inc.). Outcomes Histamine promotes microglial phagocytosis We initial examined the impact of histamine on FcR-mediated phagocytosis in murine D9 microglial cell series. Microglial cells had been allowed to internalize IgG–opsonized latex beans for 40?minutes followed by an incubation with a extra antibody Alexa Fluor 594 to distinguish extracellular and/or adherent beans (crimson labeling) from internalized beans (zero neon labeling) (Fig.?1a). Phagocytosis was attended to by keeping track of the total amount of internalized beads per cell. We showed that IgG bead phagocytosis improved with Bibf1120 escalating concentrations of histamine, reaching about a 2.5-fold increase when 100?M histamine was added to cells (P?0.001, Fig.?1a, b). At this concentration, histamine did not interfere with cell death or expansion (data not demonstrated). Centered on these results and on prior studies reported by us [8, 38, 39], we then used 100?M histamine in further tests, a concentration of pathophysiological relevance. In order to determine which histamine receptor was involved in phagocytosis, we treated microglial cells with the antagonists for each receptor before histamine treatment. Our results showed that only H1L antagonist (mepyramine maleate, 1?M) significantly abolished histamine-induced phagocytosis when compared with histamine per se (P?0.001, Fig.?1b). Consistently, an H1R agonist (2-pyridylethylamine, 100?M) was able to mimic the effect induced by histamine Bibf1120 (Fig.?1b). Antagonists for H2R (cimetidine, 5?M), H3R (carcinine ditrifluoroacetate, 5?M) or H4R (JNJ7777120, 5?M) were not efficient in abolishing histamine-induced phagocytosis (Fig.?1b). These data suggest that histamine-induced FcR-microglial phagocytosis of opsonized beads via H1R activation. Fig. 1 Histamine-induced microglial FcR-mediated phagocytosis through H1R activation. a Representative photomicrographs illustrate the stimulatory effect of 100?M histamine on microglial phagocytosis of IgG latex beads. Non-ingested ... Then, we determined whether histamine could also modulate PSR-mediated phagocytosis using fluorescent PS or PC liposomes, as described in [33]. For this purpose, N9 microglial cells were exposed to 100?M histamine for 6?h followed by 2?h incubation with PS or PC liposomes (Fig.?2a). We found that histamine significantly increased by twofold the phagocytosis/uptake of PS liposomes (P?0.05; Fig.?2a). Annexin V which binds to PS residues was used as an inhibitor of PS-induced phagocytosis. As expected, annexin V fully removed the histamine-induced subscriber base of PS liposomes (Fig.?2a). No significant variations had been discovered in the amounts of Personal computer liposomes phagocytosis when cells had been treated with histamine as likened to the settings (histamine: 139.7??29.2 while compared with the control??arranged to 100?%, in?=?3C4). After that, we examined the impact of histamine in microglia phagocytosis in vivo by injecting histamine in the SN of rodents adopted by PS liposomes. The quantity of Compact disc11b-positive (+) cells (resident in town microglial cells/invading macrophages) including PS liposomes was quantified as referred to previously by others [33]. As anticipated, histamine considerably improved the percentage of quantity of Compact disc11b+ cells including PS liposomes as likened with saline rodents (G?0.05; Fig.?2b). The physiological relevance of the aforementioned results was validated by investigating the ability then.

Luxury jeweler Lester Lampert makes a major move to an expansive space in River North.
Diamonds are forever, and they've been in Lester Lampert's family almost as long. His luxury jewelry company is rooted in 100 years of sparkling history, trailing a long line of successful Chicago-based jewelers.
But that's not to say the business is static: A prominent figure on Oak Street for 23 years, Lester Lampert, Inc. is relocating to a vast 5,000-square-foot site on East Huron Street with a two-level showroom, watch gallery, and more, all wrapped in a glistening new package for the River North crowd.
"People are shopping differently. They're buying engagement rings online," says co-owner and gemologist David Lampert, Lester's son. But he hopes the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and design room at the new space will transform this experience. "We're not just selling rings, we're creating them," he explains. "We sketch them with the customer, create renderings, and print 3D models. It's a high-tech process that allows for complete customization"—an approach that will appeal to the area's clientele.
"It's a young neighborhood, and I think that will influence our designs going forward," Lampert says of the River North location. Evidence of this can be found in the company's latest collection, CasueLL, a fun, lightweight daily wear line for the modern buyer. Says Lampert, "We're excited about the chance to present a fresh new look in our quality of merchandise." 7 E. Huron St. , 312-944-6888

We didn't end up cooking much this week for various reasons, so today I decided to meal plan based on what we have in the kitchen. I don't know it'll last the whole week, but I'm interested to find out. Here's what we have:
-Whole pots of cooked black and white beans
-Three Armenian cucumbers
-A ton of regular cucumbers that need to be turned into pickles
-Summer squash
-Three Japanese eggplants
-A butternut squash
-Half a honeydew
-Half an avocado
-Garlic, onions and hot peppers
-A pound of potatoes
-One banana
-Fresh ginger
-Fresh sage, parsley, and basil
-Half a container of shiitake mushrooms
-Five corn tortillas
-Red and white wine
-Sourdough starter
-One slice of sourdough bread
-Coconut milk
-One can of tomatoes
-Chipotle peppers
-Uncooked barley and black rice
-Oils (olive, coconut, toasted sesame)
-Vinegars (balsamic and white)
-Baking stuff (flours, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda, etc)
-Nuts (cashew, pecans, and almonds)
-Basic condiments (Dijon, ketchup, barbecue sauce, salsa, soy sauce, spices, etc.)
I am thinking a Mexican-style scramble with home fries for brunch and a Veganomicon butternut/white bean dish for dinner. Tomorrow's lunch will probably be black bean soup, and I'm thinking a barley/mushroom main for dinner. And maybe pizza later in the week? I'm not sure, but I'm excited to have the challenge!
And now back to the Jets/Niners game.

Dafina wa Afrika Mwali Tatu "Sansa"
From the 2016 litter of Misha and Malika Sansa was born. 12 beautiful puppies, 7 boys and 5 girls. This litter was extra special because Misha passed away in 2015.
Sansa is loyal and sweet and she has an open personality. She is always checking if we are all around during a walk. She made the couch her own and loves to cuddle up very close to us. Since Naru came to live with us Sansa is like a mother to her and matured very fast. She naturally took over the leader task from Kiya which she does very well.

If you haven't already heard, King Bey (Beyonce) will be performing at this year's superbowl half-time show.
For those in the know, you understand what a big deal this is, since this is not only considered a great honour, but it's one of the very few things that are actually watched by the entire country.
Not my country ofcourse…so no, I will not be tuned in, but I love the advertising campaign that has gone into this.
There are billboards and photoshoots and everyone wants a picture of the World's Sexiest Woman in anything even remotely football related.
These are a few pictures I came across between December and last week, including the new GQ photoshoot.

It seems that PlusNet has moved a few hundred high bandiwdth users over to a new pipe because they were using too much bandwidth. It seems a lot of the users of low cost DSL and cable services are told that there is a usage cap, but this is not automatic - they simply get a warning if they go over the limit. In the case of PlusNet, it seems the users that they have moved are now reporting that their service has degraded.
Maybe when an ISP introduces a usage limit on certain product offerings, it should allow for automatic suspension of the offending user rather than sending warnings. You do get what you pay for and if you are only paying a small amount you can't expect the world. Do instead expect service outages, bandwidth limits and no sight of any SLA.
I have a 2 megabit business ADSL pipe from Demon who I have been with for nearly four years. Since I pay more, I don't have limitations on usage and don't really experience any problems. I'd rather pay more for a better service.
If you pay hardly anything for a service, think about why. Don't expect things that are designed for accounts that cost more, which includes no bandiwdth restrictions and better service. Some people might not be aware of a limit, but once they are told about it they should either change to a better suited package or cut their bandwidth use.
I think PlusNet took things a little too far and did not need to take the approach that they have, but at least they are portraying that if you want a half decent service you're going to have to pay for it like most other people do. Costs of Internet connections are coming down with the flood of providers on the market but always remember that cheaper isn't usually better.
I've not checked what the amount monthly bandwidth usage is on my link, I could probably find out from Demon but I'll be able to monitor it myself via MRTG and other graphing applications via SNMP when I configure it all.
I'm on nights again this week. It seems to come round a lot quicker lately, but that is due to the fact that now I'm on a three week rotation. It gives me even more reason to be trying to find a more suitable role, with regards to location and the working hours. I would not mind so much if I was not spending as much time on travel, but it is really annoying me now as so much of my time is being wasted that could be used doing productive things. It'll soon be sorted out hopefully so in the mean time, I'll just have to continue to deal with it.
I would say some of the time, but when it comes down to weekend trips that involve going out, my plans usually change so most of the time it is not worth planning anything in advance. Well, accomodation and such should be arranged but anything else is always open to change. Last night at Fabric was great, but instead of leaving earlier and going to get some sleep before getting up to get out of the hotel at 11am, I stayed out and never got back to the hotel until 8am.
I was planning on having a few hours sleep, but the next thing I know it was 2pm and we were woken up by the hotel calling our room. We had to pay an extra 30 pounds for getting out of the room late, which is something I have not experienced by a hotel before, normally it is free.
Also because I was in need of more sleep and not feeling too good, combined with the fact it was now 3pm, I decided it was not worth heading to Max Power as it would have been too late by the time I got over there. A good weekend was had, but I was a bit annoyed I never made it to the show but it was my own fault. I'm back home now and heading to bed. So there you have a quick summary of things, but of course a lot was left out because I never know who might read this, for one thing!
Last night was great, today I'll be spending time checking out shops and going for drinks and food around the Docklands. I'll probably head to Leicester Square later tonight before heading to Fabric and meeting up with some others that are heading to London today. This weekend is all about relaxing and having fun. Mind you, that is what most of my weekends are about, but since the hotel does offer free Internet access on a number of compauters as well as the wireless, I thought I'd make a quick post.
Well after arriving at the hotel earlier and chilling out, I'm about to go out. It was a bit of a mad rush getting down here as I never got up until late. It's going to be a good weekend though. I'll probably do some shopping tomorrow and then get ready for tomorrow night. The hotel has wireless Internet access but since I don't have a laptop with me it is not much use. I'll be glad when I do get one, but that will have to wait a while.
The area is really nice and new, if you have not seen it or been before make sure you check it out if you can. My hotel is just a fw minutes walk from Canary Wharf which is the tallest building in the UK. A lot of businesses and offices are located in the area. There are some new apartments being built but prices start around £300,000 which is not anything out of the ordinary considering they are in London and right in the heart of the business area.
I've booked the hotel now. I'll be staying at the Britannia International Hotel. Since I have left it so late, I could not find one in a more central location for both nights. I'll be a little way out down by Canary Wharf, it's a nice hotel with all the usual things you would expect to find. It's got a swimming pool, sauna, wireless Internet access and lots of other things.
It looks nice, but I'll have to wait and see what it turns out to be like. It is a four star though so should be fine. I would have spent this weeking still catching up on things but again because I was working to an altered sleep pattern most of the day is gone and I've not got time now, so things will have to wait until Sunday and next week.
I'm taking off Thursday and Friday this week and having a little break before I head to London on Friday for a couple of nights out down there as well as attending the Max Power London show. I've not yet sorted out a hotel but will be doing that soon. On Friday night, I'll be going to Brixton Academy and on Saturday I'll be off to Fabric.
It's going to be a good weekend!
There is discussion at the moment of some aggregator services and actual sites with RSS feeds putting advertising in the feeds. Personally I don't think it is a good idea, but people have different views. I think most readers that read news a lot use an aggregator service or application. I don't currently use one but have chcked a few out such as Bloglines and a few application based programs for doing the job. It does make the job of reading different news sources a lot easier and less time consuming so I'm going to get round to adding a load of feeds to Bloglines and see how it goes. Of course doing things via the web based method instead of via an application has the sama benefits as with web based email in that you can access it virtually any time you like and from almost any location.
Keeping the RSS feeds free from advertising on your feed from you site is easy, but there is no way to control what a third party aggregator does to it. In the future I'm sure more services will add in their own advertising and I think in the most part this will stop users using a service that does this. Sites that add advertising directly the the source of the RSS feed would also loose visitors and they might switch back to viewing the site via the web which would probably also have adverts on it but they would be easier to block.
People should really be given the choice. A google example would be to have two feeds, one with advertising and one without. You might think that is a bit pointless but one feed could have advertising and other things which a user might want, the other could simply be a pure RSS feed with no additions, service such as FeedBurner allows you to add verious things. I've taken a look and I'll probably try it out for a few of the things it offers and add that in as another feed.
Giving people a choice is the main thing.
There are a number of 400GB SATA hard disks appearing on the market at the moment. I've read some reviews on a few models, from Seagate and Hitachi. The cost of the Hitachi Desktar 7K400 is a lot cheaper than the Seagate and the tests done in most cases point in the direction of the Hitachi, if you're looking for better performance.
I'm thinking about getting one and putting it in my FreeBSD system and using it as a file storage unit, if I get a few disks I can setup software RAID too. I've read a few reviews of the Hitachi 7K400 and the Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 and of course a comparison of drives is usually done from the testing of the drives. The Hitachi comes out on top mostly and for the price, you also make a decent saving compared to the Seagate offering.
I think I'll be getting one or two of the 7K400 drives shortly, unless of course by that time another model is out or another brand releases a better product at a better price. One thing is for sure, it will not be too long before we are able to buy 1TB hard disks.
I've recently ordered a copy of Halo 2 for the Xbox. You have probably heard about a lot of people being banned from Xbox Live recently as along with Halo 2, Microsoft decided to release an Xbox Live update at the same time. Reported information is floating around about why people are being banned, it seems it is mainly due to people that have changed the hard disk in their Xbox. I've got a chip in mine to allow me to exploit the potential of the Xbox but I've not been banned, at least not yet anyway.
I've had the Xbox Live update and it still allows me to connect and play. I can see the reasons for MS doing this, but you have to have an original copy of a game to play on Xbox Live so it'll not have any affect on people copying games when playing on live as all copies should be original anyway.
I think MS are looking at it from the other angle to stop try and persuade people not to get their Xboxes fitted with a chip in the first place, in that scenario it would lower the amount of pirate copies of games being used. They also suggest it will low the level of cheating taking place. I've not found that anyone is cheating because they have a modified Xbox but of course this may be the case with some games, I'll have to investigate to find out.
I've also ordered a few other games, including DOOM 3 & Farcry for the PC. I'm probably going to get a number of other Xbox live games quite soon, as I've only got a few games for the Xbox at the moment and since I prefer online game playing, I need to get some.
Microsoft has recently released the latest version of MSN, version 7 beta build 0425 to the beta testers. Of course, it has been released to the world the second it was released to beta testers as someone always leaks a copy, you can download it here.
I've just installed it after using MSN 6.2 for ages on Windows machines and some of the changes are really good. The new look, extra features including being able to use the mouse to allow you to draw and write things are all pretty good.
You can also send flash based winks to people and also nudge them, which makes the chat window shake. That could get annoying, but it could come in handy as a noficiation method that you want someone as well if the sound is off.
There are a lot of visual changes as well, it looks better. The only problem is when I upgrade, usually Messenger Plus does not work any more which means I loose all the custom names I set for people and only see email addresses instead. Check out this thread for the latest beta of Messenger Plus v3.40.110 which works with MSN v7.0.
Messenger Plus adds a lot of functions which are really handy to MSN, some of which you will never live without after trying them out. Other things, such as changing the colour of your name on MSN, just allow you to make things a bit different and personal. Messenger Plus is really worth checking out, I've been using it since the early days of its development and like MSN Messenger has come along way.
You'll probably have to update when downloading v7.0 as there are new updates being relased quite often which you have to accept to continue using it. Anyway, if you use MSN on Windows at all, get the updates as they are worth it.
I've just noticed something strange when I did a whois on google.com. I tried from another location as well, which gave the same results that you can see below.
# whois google.com

Now, why would the whois data for GOOGLE.COM show what it does?
I'm just about to send an email to inform Google about it and see what they say. If that does not get a response or even if it does but it does not get sorted out then there is always the Internic Whois Data Reporting System. I'll post an update when I hear something back about it.
I've received a reply back from Google thanking me for reporting this and that they have forwarded my email to their legal team. We'll have to see what happens when they investigate it, I'll ask if they can keep me updated.
NASA has recently announced that it's X-43A Scramjet has broken a speed record. The figures are pretty amazing. It was flying at nearly Mach 9.8 which works out to about 7,000 miles per hour as it was 110,000 over the Pacific ocean.
Imagine flying toa nother country at that speed? Maybe it will be the next generation Concorde? Of course that is a long way off. The flight of course was not manned and after departing from the carrying B-52 at 40,000ft is then increased speed and height for around 620 miles before falling to the depths of the sea.
It's a record breaking achievement and lets hope the data gathered can be used in many ways in the future to continue development of this craft and others.
Check out the Hyper-X project site.
The recent changes made by ICANN have been reported by some people as not required and pointless, check out the changes. A lot of domains are possibly open to bogus transfer requests now. Most domains are locked usually but if not most people are turning on the transfer locking feature. One change will allow for a transfer request to take place even when the owner of the domain has not accepted it, which does not make sense since an owner should have the right not to reply to a non-requested transfer and it be totally ignored without any intervention as was the case before now.
However, it is being reported that these changes have only been made due to some registras not making it easy enough for customers to transfer domains away, instead trying to keep them as customers so these changes have been made to allow changes of registra to take place more easily.
Is also interesting to point out that this is for the transfer of domains from one registra to another, not changing the owner. That is a seperate issue and so the domain won't change hands, who bills you will. Of course if any of the name server information changes then the domain will not work, but as long as this is kept the same you would not notice a difference to a domain without looking at the whois record or noticing that the domain is no longer listed on the account you have with a certain registra.
The issue of increased hijacking taking place does not appear to be something that will happen due to these changes, but a lot of sites are reporting this is the case. These changes are not going to allow the domains to change hands without any action from the current domain owner, so there seem to be a lot of worried people for no reason.
Another issue that people seem to be seeing is some requests for their domains being submitted to report that their domain has a problem with the stored whois record data. When a report such as this has been submitted, some registras request a reply from the domain owner in a short period of time else will delete or suspend a domain. Other registras charge a fee for checking these reports out which may have not been made by the domain owner but of course causing charges to be invoiced to the domain owner. There are a lot of comments on the Slashdot post regarding this so check it out for further information.
Gmail have introduced POP3 & SMTP access for Gmail users, which was announced last week. I've only just noticed that my account has been enabled for POP3/SMTP access, it's being done in sections of users at a time but mine may have been done days earlier as soon as it was announced but I've not been checking to see if mine had been enabled.
I'm yet to check it out, but will do soon. It'll allow people to access their mail and also send mail using their usual email aplpication as well as the web browser. With forced use of SSL/TLS, you'll be keeping your connection secure, so not only will the authentication of your account be secure but also the transmission of any data, when accessing Gmail via the website only the authentication part is done via SSL so there is increased security, but emails generally travel between server to server with no encryption so until all mail servers also send mail between each other with SSL for example, the protection a secure connection can provide is limited your email could have already been viewed in transit.
At the moment, you don't see any Adwords advertsing in your email when accessing it via POP3 and none is added to any mail when sending via the Gmail SMTP server, although this may change. At the moment the folders in your Gmail account are not populated to your mail application and you only seem to get the mail that is in your Gmail inbox, not any that has been archived.
I'm sure this functionality will be added at some point as having access to all of your mail is obviously better than just access to mail in the inbox of your account.
Also the fact that POP3 and mail forwarding will be free is good as I got the impression that there may have been some charges for these options. Things are coming along well and Gmail is proving to be a great tool for managing email. I've still got a few issues with it though, such as filtering email that has filters already straight to the Spam folder. I've informed Gmail about this but as yet it is still happening. Personal rules should be applied before hitting the anti-spam filters and systems that Gmail uses. I just noticed an email from Orkut even got filtered as Spam.
I've moved all my email over to Gmail really, because having access to all my email makes it a lot easier. When I was using an email application that was only available on one computer, it meant I'd only have access to mail for a certain amount of the day and if the disk failed the mail data would be lost unless backed up. Using Gmail, the backup is taken care of and you can still use a mail application when you want to. If you have a laptop, then you can use the application more often as obviously you can carry it around wth you.
At the moment I have a lot of accounts forwarding to my Gmail account, a few I still use locally on the individual systems. I backup the data on the servers using Veritas NetBackup but I'll eventually forward all of my accounts to Gmail and then use a mail client on my new laptop when I get it and then via webmail the rest of the time when I don't have it wth me.
Gmail is making good progress!
At the moment I'm in the process of moving some of the company related things that have been setup, to be part of the limited company status. It seems it would have been better getting the company incorporated first and then setting up the bank account and such. The way it has been done, it means more trouble moving everything over to being limited.
Everything is nearly sorted though, that is the main thing.
I've given Vodafone a call to find out what is happening and it seems that I'll probably have to wait a little be more time for their complaints department to get in touch. I've also spoken to Nokia, who stated it is an issue caused by the provider since they don't supply the handsets with any blocks in place when they sell them to the providers so the blocks have been put in place by Vodafone.
I'm going to wait a while longer for a reply backfrom Vodafone complaints department and if I don't hear anything back I'll chase it again. I was informed by the customer services person I was speaking to that the complaints department don't speak to customer services so the chance of a customer speaking to them is even less. They just leave notes on accounts for people to pick up.
What a mission this is turning out to be.
I emailed Screen Select as I had over 50 selections in my account and nothing had been allocated to me, even after four days! They said it was a technical error, I've just checked and I now have some titles awaiting dispatch which is good.
I was thinking that the service was not very good, which was a strange thing to encounter since I had read a lot of good reviews. It looks like the problem with my account was a strange one, I think it might have been something to do with the fact I signed up as an affiliate as well using the same email address, when I logged in I was always directed to the affiliate page instead of my account page. It does not do that now, so I'll have to check the affiliate aspect is alright.
They also extended my free trial, so all is good so far but we'll have to see how the service shapes up over the next few weeks.
I'm heading off to London shortly to see Danny Tenaglia spin some records in London tonight. I've not seen him for a while, he has not played in the UK for a few years so on this rare chance I'd be mad to miss it. It'll be going on all night with Danny playing an 8 hour set.
With four rooms of different sounds it's going to be a great night!
First, I've got the train trip down there and then to a few bars before heading to the club. Since it was my birthday last week this is the big celebration, see you there maybe!
Well, I've had no reply from Vodafone yet, after the letter I sent you would think that they would at least contact me. I'm going to have to give them a call shortly and see what is going on. If the issues are not resolved then I'm just going to leave and move to another network that can sort out something as simple as what I am requesting, which in case you did not know is to remove some bars on my number / phone which stop me getting any service when out of the UK.
I thought I spotted a mistake on the National Express site relating to one of the coach routes. I was tired at work as it was 3am and I thought it read that it stopped at the airport but looking later on it seems I obviously just got the idea in my head because I hoped that it did stop there.
So, combined with my desire to sleep and my hopes that it did stop off at the airport clouded what really was on the site. I found the correct information after looking again later. I was going to call them to report the mistake, it's a good job I checked again before doing so. I managed to get dropped off where I wanted to go by the driver, which saved me a lot of time.
You might have heard recently about a problem that was discovered after an update to the systems that power the Cahoot online banking site. I am a Cahoot customer myself and was wondering why I could not access the site, it appeared that there was some work being done but during the middle of the day which was a bit strange as any work would normally be done during the night.
It then came to light that the site was down due to some essential changes being made after a problem was discovered that allowed anyone with a Cahoot account to gain access to the account of another customer without a password, but you would need to know details about another account to gain access and it would be read only as performing any tasks would still require the account password.
Normally banks are not quick to admit to these kinds of problems and shy away from the questions even if like in this Case it is all over the news. Cahoot appears to be taking another angle by putting the message out about what happened, although no real details were provided. Generally speaking I think that is the right way to deal with it especially when the media coverage would almost certainly have spread the word quite a lot.
Maybe more banks shouldm learn some lessons and change their ways as hiding away from the truth when these things happen does not really help the situation but admitting there were problems would do. You can't solve a problem until it accepted that one exists.
The spam is coming through a lot more with the current delays in the updates to the master blacklist. I'm going to upgrade MT & MT-BL soon which will help with the issue but in the mean time it would help if there is an alternative list to use. Although people can check my blacklist file I think I'm going to start logging any addtions to my blacklist in another file for other people to add. There are probably other people doing this already, which will help with things until the master list is updated.
There are loads of places that you can rent a DVD from these days, some just online based. I've looked at a few in the UK and one of the best appears to be Screen Select. Of course there are that many free trials about you could probably go for about a year without actually paying just by creating accounts and enjoying free trials. I'll gather some together and post them up. I watch a lot of films and Screen Select appears to have the biggest selection to choose from with 25,000 titles as well as:
* No due dates
* No late fees
* First class postage
* Freepost returns
* Rent unlimited DVDs
* No commitments
* No cancellation fees
If you continue and become a paying member after the free trial, which currently lasts 14 days it costs £14.99 a month, which is pretty good. Other sites allow more rentals at once but even so, if you are limited to 3 at a time because of the quick service you'll easily be able to get 100 films per month if you watched and returned titles quickly but most people would probably not watch that many in that time.
I'm going to try out the free trial and then check out some other ones too, probably. But when it comes to paying, I'll probably go with Screen Select due to the large collection & no charges for late returns and such.
Renting online via the post can be a lot easier as you can search for what you want easily, amongst other things. With Screen Select you choose titles and then select a priority for them and then will be then sent to you when a copy is available so if you keep the number of selections on your account high, you'll constantly have new films being delivered!
When looking for new things to buy it is of course a good idea to shop around. I've found such variation in prices for certain things available from various suppliers in the UK. Prices are usually cheaper in the USA than the UK but then there is the shipping costs and such to add on top, I'll just wait until I am over there next and pick up a load of things then.
Sometimes it is too much trouble looking around though, but when online it is a lot easier than if the price comparison was being done via visiting stores. There is also the phone, so calling would be an option. I've purchased a few things recently and have got some more things that I want to get so I'll be looking about for the best prices which is something that most people would do, it would be silly not to. I'll probably start posting some of this information on good deals, as I'm sure it may be of use to people.
The feeling where you should have done something, but did something else instead? The opposite of what you did do, would have been the better move to make but at the time you were not aware. It happens a lot. Thinking ahead is always good but in some cases it is not possible to do or is possible but your thoughts might not be based on evidence, but rather guess work.
Making imformed decisions is better of course, but then there is human judgement which is something that is very variable in accuracy. More on this and other things later, as it's time for bed - an earlier night for a change!
It is that time again. It's my birthday! It seems a bit longer since the last one, more than usual. It reminds me that the year is nearly over again and summer here is long gone but it never really came this year. How old (young) am I now?
I'm 23, the main birthday event is going to be a three or four day event in London next weekend. It's a joint celebration for a few of us who are getting a year older in November, can't wait!
Present wise, I usually prefer the money but when getting older the presents don't come as thick and fast as they used to. Maybe it is time to start a revolution to get buying presents for every birthday no matter what the age, back on the map!
When opening tickets with some companies, I've found that if it is a sales related request, they keep asking for updates from you, asking if you are going to buy a product or upgrade a service and such.
If it is a technical ticket or support request, it takes a lot longer to get a reply from the company providing the service, not always but sometimes. Some companies are better some are worse. The only way to get around this is to ensure that you are covered by a decent SLA plan. Of course this usually costs a lot more but as they say you do get what you pay for and for the majority when you do pay, things do get delivered most of the time to within agreed service levels.
It is just funny that when you're not covered by an SLA the techincal things take longer to get sorted, but the sales people are always on your back for updates to any enquiries you have made. It does make business sense for the sales people to work like that, but still.
OpenNTPD 3.6 has been released, so for those of you that use NTP for keeping the time updated on your systems, if you have not checked it out then give it a try. I don't use NTP at all but for some applications that are distributed, having the correct & same time on all systems is required which is where OpenNTPD comes in.
It allows you to run an NTP server or just run as a client, receiving updates from another NTP server and is a free implementation developed by some of the OpenBSD team.
I've sorted out the problem I was having with MT-BL. As I thought it was due to some spam, for some reasons MT-BL did not like it and was throwing up the errors. I'm not sure why, but it's obviously a bug. Since most people are now running 2.0 and I have not found anyone else having the problem, it seems like it was an isolated case.
I'll be upgrading MT soon along with MT-BL so with regards to the spam fighting, things should improve even more.

Labor must not support Basin Plan disallowance motion
5 Feb 2018 4:47 PM -
The Ricegrowers' Association of Australia (RGA) has called on the Australian Labor Party to vote down any disallowance motion relating to the Murray Darling Basin Plan's Northern Basin Review or the SDL adjustment.
"The opposition must resist the urge to support any disallowance motion relating to the Plan. Shadow Environment Minister Tony Burke championed the SDL adjustment as the best way he could address the extreme concerns about negative social and economic impacts resulting from the plan. Now is not the time to waver" RGA President Jeremy Morton said.

Bobble, Bobble, who's got the bobble?
The pattern is a row of dc's followed by a row of sc and bobbles. I have used each color once now with the exception of this last one. The last color was going so well on the dc row and I was so happy because I would finally have my color pattern set and I could move on merrily adding rows. I made the turn to start the bobble row and I noticed that something didn't look right. I checked and looked and checked again. Then I saw it. I had lost a bobble!!! Yep, on the last bobble row, I had missed the very first bobble. Curses!!! I had to pull back 2 rows to get to the beginning to put in that bobble. I finished that row and put the blanket away. Tomorrow I will try again to put the last color on and see if I can avoid dropping any more bobbles or losing my marbles.
So a short post to let you know I'm still around and working on the blanket. More news later on the baby sampler.
As always, thank you for stopping by. Have a great day wherever you might be.

Glad you were still able to crochet, I loose more than a bobble when I try to crochet! Ada :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Aw, come on. As talented as you are, it would be a piece of cake for you.Delete
Now I know I shouldn't giggle, but I saw you in my minds eye looking around for that bobble ... as if it could have rolled somewhere!ReplyDelete
Glad you can still smile and still crochet ... feel better, and happy bobbling ;D xReplies
Thank you, Annie. That's almost what I did. I even looked on the other side to see if maybe I had it it wrong. I was really annoyed when I had to pull out those rows but I bet I pay more attention now. : )Delete
Well, as annoying as that was, at least it wasn't SIX rows back! (That would be a test indeed - though perhaps you could cobble a bobble on to the surface if you had to.) :)ReplyDelete
Hope you're feeling better soon.

Map For Cash Plus Inc
Information About Cash Plus Inc From Around The Web
It is wise to shop locally for individual financial services, if you have an urgent financial need. Based on where you are located, services can range from simple check cashing, to short term loan goods such as online payday loans, also referred to as cash loans. Contact the company recorded above to see what financial services can be found in your city. Some may additionally offer loan programs that are installment, allowing you to pay back your loan to get a set period of time, to bigger loans such as personal loans, which afford a broader array of giving bundles with regard to loan quantity and interest rates, depending in your credit score.
Before applying for online payday loans, you should always investigate alternatives. If there's an emergency or sudden invoice, try and stretch your finances. In the event that you can't pay a bill, contact your lender and try to make a payment arrangement. If your need for cash requires a loan for a term that is longer, make an application for an alternate peer to peer or traditional loan. For those who have security, you can put property up to guarantee a low-interest bank loan. Simple loans might seem like the right option to get you through a tight fiscal circumstances when you are denied capital from a traditional lending source you need temporary cash flow until the next paycheck or because your credit credibility is shot. Taking out an advance in your next paycheck from a money lender may be your only alternative should you not need cash or a charge card in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for fast loans on the internet is a great option when unforeseen crises arise or the sum needed is not worth for starting another account, the ding to your credit rating. You also prevent the hassle of having to collect all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. If your credit is good enough, you might qualify for a higher limit with a current charge card business or a fresh account with a different lender that enables you to combine all your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between the two firms, which puts money in your pocket fast, you usually get to skip the next payment. When the next payment is due, you are going to likely be paying less overall than you were for the individual minimal payments of the separate debts. Many sources of private credit, including bad credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly if origination fees are included in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online also have relatively short durations, frequently as very little as three months. Even though it could be possible to refinance these types of loans, rolling them around can prove costly.

Taking Flight is now available! Don't do this alone. Don't even try. Being creative in worship and ministry requires the work of a team of people. Learn about designing worship in a team with our brand new book, Taking Flight with Creativity: Worship Design Teams That Work. We consistently get told our material on team planning is our best stuff. Now we've got it in book form! Get a copy for each of your team members.
Why? Sadly, there are Christians who, in a lifetime of church attendance, have rarely if ever known a powerful, transformative experience of the Holy Spirit in a corporate body of fellow believers. We believe it is possible to take flight weekly in worship-to design and experience transformative worship on a regular basis. And the way to consistently achieve flight with creativity is through the work of a team of collaborative worship designers.
Taking Flight is about how to design worship in team Ń not just to get a group of people together in a room, but to corporately experience the presence of Christ, out of which worship design becomes a reflection. We've seen and been on quite a few worship teams, some of which failed spectacularly. This is about worship design teams that work. Are you ready to fly?

In his first project since 2013's Paradise Valley, John Mayer comes back in style with stunning vocals and a laid back production that makes the four-track release worth the nearly four-year wait.
The Search for Everything — Wave One sees Mayer returning to his roots, showcasing melodic vocals with less percussion than usual.
From the start, it is clear that Mayer is back. He begins the first track, "Moving On and Getting Older"with one of his classic guitar solos before transitioning into a more groovy style.
This track also uses laid-back percussion, and a lack of percussion altogether, to its advantage. There are points in the song when the percussion drops out entirely and the bass emphasizes the lyrics, giving room for Mayer's vocals to shine.
The second track on the album, "Changing," takes a hard look at how each of us continues to change and grow regardless of where we are in our lives. It also presents elements of some of Mayer's more recent work, like the sharp percussion, making it flow well on the album.
"Love On the Weekend," the third song, is, for the most part, forgetful. It's a pop song that tries too hard to be a folk song, something that doesn't work with Mayer's falsetto. While the song itself is not very good, it doesn't take away from the EP as a whole.
Finally, Mayer closes the first set of songs from his new album with a moving ballad dedicated to lost love. "You're Gonna Live Forever In Me" is the cherry on top of this EP's sundae. The song is beautifully simple, using a combination of acoustic strings, piano and whistling to create a melody perfect for Mayer's moving lyrics and vocals.
Mayer's final track builds a feeling of hope despite the misfortunes that Mayer sings about. It is his way of saying that no matter how bad things get, they will always get better — a message that people need to hear in a time when so many feel divided.
Despite a slow third track, The Search For Everything — Wave One is worth listening to. Mayer, who intends to release more of the songs from the album in the coming months, provides listeners with songs that both showcase his growth as an artist and stay true to his roots.
If The Search For Everything — Wave One is any indicator of what to expect from John Mayer going forward, then listeners can be very excited.
