**Sorry for the delay! Meant to post this right away but didn't have the camera handy to upload the picture and then life took over! 🙂 **
I put my Copps plan into action today (2/17), and although things didn't go exactly as planned, I still made out pretty well. Everything you see below cost just $45.96.
Here are the things that didn't work as planned and contributed to my totals being slightly higher than expected:
Transaction #1:
- Coupons for Hunt's, Healthy Choice, Ro-Tel (Con-Agra) did not double. This is the first time ever at Copps where coupons that said "Do Not Double" actually did not double! Usually they go through anyway, but since Con-Agra was giving me $5 off my next purchase in addition to the $5 in coupons I used, I can't complain too loudly. No coupons were doubled at all on this transaction, so my two transactions were kind of a waste of time, except that I used that $5 discount on Transaction #2 as planned.
- I added a couple extra items I needed for this weekend, which came to $6.37.
- I swapped out 2 Healthy Choice meals for 2 Kid Cuisine meals as one of my coupons didn't match and these were $0.50 cheaper.
- Planned total was $13, actual total was $23.62, a difference of $10.62.
Transaction #2:
- I added quite a bit of produce for this weekend, as well as an extra bag of baby carrots (which are usually out of stock when priced at $1). This added up to an extra $5.55. Another extra item I needed was $1.58.
- All chicken packages were over 1lb., so after my doubled coupon, I paid $0.85 for the package I chose.
- All other sales and coupons matched, coupons doubled
- Planned total was $14, actual total was $22.34, a difference of $8.34
If you shop at Copps regularly, you probably know about the new Personal Perks program. They tell you that if you spend a certain amount in one week, you'll earn $ off your next purchase. My Personal Perks goal for this week was $70, to get $3.50 off. According to my receipt, I spent $72.53 this week and reached my goal, even though I actually only paid $46. Loving that it totals before sales and coupons!! Overall, I saved $51.21 which is 53%. I'm always happy when that number is over 50%!

I've seen her before
Way back long ago;
Couldn't remember
Where I've seen her.
Has pain in her eyes
Lost her smile and wise;
Can't think of what to do
'Cause crying is she does.
Her smile is what I always see
Though I know she's in misery;
How do I know this thing?
'Cause she is no one but me.

A flurry of recent weddings has proved to be an unlikely source of inspiration for Graphic Design student Cassidy Taylor this month. Read on to find out how these special occasions with family and friends have influenced her latest design project….
Our latest assignment has been to create a contemporary magazine – on any topic and in any style! Because I've been to a few weddings lately I opted to make a bridal magazine, using InDesign for the layout and Photoshop for photo manipulation. The process was so much fun and I loved having the opportunity to explore a topic I really enjoy. I got in touch with a couple of wedding photographers and developed an interview component for the magazine, which really helped bring it to life. (Check out what I did with Nelson-based wedding photographer Luke Marshall's interview here.)
We spent two weeks on the assignment and once it was finished we had to make the magazine suitable for an iPad. We could include all sorts of cool features like scrollable frames, slideshows and buttons – I had a heap of fun experimenting with all the different options, and learnt a lot of new InDesign skills in the process.
I'm now halfway through my Diploma of Computer Graphic Design. I can't believe how fast the first six months have flown by. Studying at ACG Yoobee has turned out to be everything I'd dreamed it would be…challenging, yet fun. I couldn't have hoped for anything better! I feel really good about what I've achieved so far. I've grown a lot in my design ability and I'm super-excited to see what the second half of the course has in store for me. Although making the end-of-year portfolio seems slightly terrifying, I'm really looking forward to it at the same time. I can't wait to gather all of my work together and see how much I've grown over the course of the year!

The 1940 US Census will be released in just 21 days! So much happened during that time period and many of us have family members who are listed in this census, either our parents, grand parents or great grandparents. I recall one day working at the Family History Library and assisting an elderly individual to view herself listed as a child in the 1930 US Census. She just looked at all the names listed in the household with tears streaming down as she recalled all those who were no longer here and yet there she was just 8 years old!
My mom was born in 1927 and would be 13 years old and going to school everyday like many are doing today. She was the last of 9 children and had so much to look foward to as she pursued her life. Her oldest sister, Ozina married in June of 1940, while her other two older sisters and one brother were already married with children. Strange as it may seem, that means some of my first cousins will be in this census as young children!
It will be interesting to see where my Great Grandmother, Rose DeLima Limoges will be living. She was a wonderful person according to those I've interviewed in the past. She assisted in the delivery of most of her own grandchildren and was considered a healer and often in an emergency setting she would be sent for rather than a doctor.
My mother's mom, Lovina Theroux Marotte, didn't pass away till 1945 and her grandmother mother, Rose DeLima Limoges passed away in 1942 so both of them will be there. I never knew them in person but I will be able to see them listed in the 1940 Census along with their families. By 1945 my mother was finishing up with high school and entered nursing school at St. Joseph's hospital. Here she is soon after entering nursing school.
She graduated in 1948, but continued to work there for many years. She met my father in the hospital as he was a patient there.
She would travel from Pawtucket to work in Providence by bus as she didn't own a car or even have a drivers' license at this point in her life!
The freeway system known as Route 95 didn't exist at this time, in fact the best way to travel from Pawtucket to Providence was to follow Route 1 all the way which is what she did by bus!
This census will definitely shed some light on many individuals and perhaps solve some brick wall problems.

A basic plan in Singapore may not be enough to take care of all your expenses. MyHealthPlus insurance plan provides enhanced coverage to the basic Aviva MediShield Life plan when you combine it with MyShield.
This plan is available in two options- A and C. The following are the benefits available with each:
Option A Benefits and Features
- For the MyShield Plan to be effective, you'll first have to pay the co-insurance amount. If you have paid the annual deductibles for the year, only then will the insurer pay you the claim amount. Co-insurance is a concept where you co-pay a part of the total claims. For the MyShield plan underwritten by Aviva and distributed by DBS Singapore, the co-insurance limit has been set at 10% p.a., subject to a maximum of S$25,000 per year. With MyHealthPlus Insurance Option A, you'll get a full waiver on the co-insurance amount.
- Up to S$10,000 is available in critical healthcare benefit per lifetime.
- Free coverage is available for children under this plan.
- If the life assured gets hospitalised, an extended post-hospital treatment cover will be offered for the next 180 days from discharge.
- Coverage on post-hospital TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) treatment, provided the life assured wasn't admitted to a community hospital. For inpatient treatment in a regular hospital, cover for post-hospital TCM treatment will be paid except for TCM medications.
- A coverage of S$80 for every injury or illness is available for one-way transportation (ambulance or taxi) to the hospital in Singapore where the life insured has been admitted. However, to make the claim, you must remember that the life insured needs to be admitted to the inpatient ward within 24 hours of arrival to the hospital for treatment for any illness or injury covered by any of the MyShield plans.
- A cash benefit of up to S$300 per day for hospital stay, only if the insured has been admitted to a standard ward of a restructured hospital which is lower than that allowed by the chosen plan. Day surgeries and admissions to community/private hospitals are outside the coverage of this plan.
Option C Benefits and Features
If you choose Option C of the MyHealthPlus plan, you get all the benefits available under option A in addition to the following benefits:
- You get a deductible coverage which means that you're covered from the first dollar spent, with no out-of-pocket expenses. The standard deductibles for different plans under the MyShield policy range from S$1,500 per year to S$5,250 per year. With Option C, you'll receive a coverage against the payment of deductibles.
- The benefit of preferred rates is available for dependent children.
How to Apply
You can visit a DBS branch in Singapore to put forth your application. To learn more about the participating branches, you can visit the bank website. Alternatively, you can fill out the contact form on the bank website and request a visit. A wealth planning manager from the bank will contact you as per your convenience.

It is important for me to recycle and reuse an item that serves a new purpose. I have found that a 2-liter soda bottle is a versatile item for repurposing as a craft or garden item. It is even possible to turn a bottle into a self-watering planter, which holds and provides water for seedlings or a mature plant for the home or garden. The cap of the bottle is also useful as a wicking system for the project.
Remove the outer wrapper or sticker from the soda bottle. Wash the bottle with hot water and a drop or two of bleach to sterilize it. Rinse the interior with hot water, and let it air-dry on a dish drainer.
Remove the cap from the bottle. Drill several holes into the bottle cap using a 1/4-inch drill bit.
Cut the bottle in half with a pair of scissors.
Cut two 1/2-inch wide pieces of 100 percent cotton or three pieces of unwaxed candle wicking at a length of 6 inches with scissors.
Place the cloth or wicking strips into the neck of the bottle, and screw the cap on. Pull half of the wicking or cloth through the holes in the cap. This will allow water to wick through the cloth fibers, on up into the soil and plant roots.
Fill the section of the bottle with potting soil. Set it into a container to secure it while you plant seeds or a plant in the soil.
Fill the bottom portion of the plastic bottle with water. Center the bottleneck into the water-filled bottom container. Check to see if the wick is immersed in the water. The wick will continuously feed water into the soil for the plant.

The clock is ticking as the North Carolina General Assembly prepares to adjourn. For those of us who follow education news, recent legislative activity has produced several items of interest. Here's a quick update on some recent (albeit disparate) developments in North Carolina K-12 education.
First, the General Assembly has used its constitutional authority to settle the nation's longest-contested elected race from the 2004 November election. On Tuesday, the state legislature voted to elect Dr. June Atkinson as state Superintendent of Schools.
Don't expect Dr. Atkinson to push for innovative reforms to North Carolina schools, though. With 33 years of experience in the traditional education system, Dr. Atkinson is clearly a staunch defender of the status quo.
Advocates of a sex education curriculum promoting abstinence ought to be on their guard, however. Dr. Atkinson has already indicated her desire to work to change North Carolina's abstinence until marriage law, in place since 1995. During her campaign, Dr. Atkinson told Planned Parenthood (an organization that strongly endorsed her candidacy), "I agree with your position to have medically accurate, responsible sex education in North Carolina schools…As State Superintendent of Public Instruction, I will be willing to work with you in changing the current law." Unfortunately, Dr. Atkinson's support for a "comprehensive" curriculum flies in the face of reams of research documenting the ravages of unrestricted teen sexual behavior.
In other news, qualified out-of-state teachers may soon have an easier time getting into North Carolina classrooms − a boon for schools statewide. Currently, North Carolina does not have reciprocity with any other state regarding teacher licensing. This means that a teacher from states like Virginia, Tennessee, or South Carolina must take additional education courses in an "approved" university teaching program in order to be able to teach for more than three years.
But this week, the General Assembly passed a bill eliminating hurdles for teachers labeled "highly qualified" by other states. The legislation still faces a number of obstacles, however. Governor Easley does not support the bill and may yet veto it (all in the name of "higher standards"). Easley is joined by the State Board of Education in his opposition to the bill.
Interestingly, this issue does not break across party lines, and is even causing aggravation for the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. A recent editorial cartoon from the Charlotte Observer portraying a student gasping for an education says it all! This is no time for Easley to play politics: the Charlotte Mecklenburg school system had over 40 unfilled teaching slots when schools opened today.
If the Governor chooses to veto this bill, he will again demonstrate the absolute power the university elites wield when it comes to K-12 government education. There's no question that Easley's "higher standards" talk is just rhetoric, and fails to express the real reason for these extra courses: namely, that quality teachers from other states must "pay their dues" to the university system in order to get licensed. Our so-called "teacher-shortage" is much more related to the unending hurdles teachers must clear in order to be licensed in North Carolina than it is to a legitimate dearth of teachers.
Will Governor Easley cave to pressure from the higher education lobby and state board members (many of whom are employed by universities)? Or will he do what is right for North Carolina students and teachers? Stay tuned.

Eternity Matters: WIDOWED, ORPHANED & HOMELESS CAN OVERCOME WITH FAITH
By Norma Shull Smith
Sometimes in life we get blindsided and the blinders make it difficult to see beyond the moment! I am currently beginning to experience how easy a person "can allow" their sight to be darkened by circumstances.
As I was meditating and pondering on my current whirlwind that seems to be swirling around me, I began to wonder just how many men and women lose their spouse to death in the United States alone. According to a study in 2001 by AARP, There are more than 13.7 million widowed persons in the United States, over 11 million of these being women. (American Association of Retired Persons 2001) According to the 1999 US Census Bureau, 800,000 people are widowed each year in the United States. "Nearly 700,000 women lose their husbands each year. That is astounding. On days I begin to feel pity on myself, I am quickly reminded that I certainly am not alone in my situation, with me being 1 of the 700,000.
I did not look up stats on how many adults are orphaned at the loss of both parents, but I did see the overwhelming numbers of children who are true orphans and need adopted. It is estimated that 140 million children worldwide are orphans. (UNICEF), as posted on the https://www.sos-usa.org/ website. I also discovered through my research that 1 in 5 children lose a parent or both parents by the age of 18. I was one of them, losing my father as a senior in high school.
In January 2015, 564,708 people were experiencing homelessness. https://endhomelessness.org Because my home that my husband and I shared for the last 18 years of our 53 year marriage and because I won't be relocating and purchasing a new home for some time, I've felt that emptiness of "oh my gosh, I'm homeless!" Now I know, that I know, that I am not truly homeless, like the ones in shelters and on the streets, but when I think deeply about not having my comfortable shelter I know as home, anxiousness rises up within my spirit. I cannot imagine how the true homeless feel.
As I dwell on these three words, Widowed, Orphaned & Homeless, I realize that there is one word that all those who are experiencing need. HOPE! Charles Spurgeon said, "Don't you know that day dawns after night, showers displace drought, and spring and summer follow winter? Then, HAVE HOPE! Hope forever, for God will not fail you!"
When we face any circumstance in life, we need to claim God's Word.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans: 15:13
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
"Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the LORD, and exult before Him. A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God makes a home for the lonely. Psalm 68:4-6a
The key to overcoming anything is to praise Him even in your desert times! Eternity Matters

THE MOON IS IN LEO TODAY! Keywords: Leadership, bossy, children, generosity, dramatic, ego, royalty, physical strength, playful, demanding, strong will, fun, sunny disposition, the stage
The Moon in Leo is moving through your 12th house of the hidden realm, subconscious, past, pain, karma, jails, institutions, hospitals, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears, self-destruction, large animals, skeletons in closet, self-undoing and self-injury. It is about your hidden strengths, weaknesses and what you don't want others to see or know about you, unredeemed karma and selfless service to humanity. Refrain from letting this house frighten you because it is necessary that you look at your own self-undoing in order to keep yourself on the straight path.
There is a strong possibility that you could sit quiet and end up getting yourself all worked up. Quiet time should be serving you to figure things out how you can become a better person, friend, lover, employee, employer, parent, child, etc. This is not a time for you hang on one detail and then let it mess up your day or dictate your actions and reactions. Sometimes that one little thing keeps you from receiving and then you end up procrastinating. If you have the attitude that if you cannot do it perfect then you will not do it all . . that is fine, but then someone else will.

Mixing paracetamol (acetaminophen, Anacin, Tylenol) and other medications. Now read over 2,000 times!
Mixing can be dangerous or it can be beneficial.
In time for all of the Holiday headaches!
A good chemical breakdown.
Is mixing anything but vitamins safe?
Mixing most medicines is considered dangerous and many combinations can be fatal. As Someone who has been in the health care since 1990, I can say that I have seen many bad results of the wrong medications being mixed. Sometimes a patient will have multiple physicians prescribing, and none of them look at the entire "med. list". That should become a serious consideration of every Dr., R.N. and health care proxy in America!
However, some medications can be mixed. Aspirin and Tylenol (Paracetamol) are among the few.
An important subject for all Americans in this day and age.
Paracetamol or Acetaminophen as we call it in America.
Paracetamol is quickly absorbed in to the body and has no known serious side effects. It is also gentile on the stomach which makes it a better option than Aspirin and ibuprofen, for pain. Tylenol, and Anacin are popular brand names of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) in America.
Paracetamol or Acetaminophen has been considered safe to mix with Aspirin for adults, (but only if both are taken as directed). However, this drug should never be mixed with Vicodin or anything else, without consulting your own Dr. Your Dr. will know your entire history and will be able to make a decision based on your allergies, past reactions to medications, and any ailments you may have.
There are some that will dispute this mixture but, if it were unsafe, then most O.T.C. Migraine medications would not include both drugs and add caffeine on top of them.
Because Aspirin and Ibuprofen both can cause ulcers, those two should never be mixed. If your have a persistent pain, then loading up on over the counter pain pills is NOT wise. Seeing a Dr. however is.
A good summary of the facts about these OTC medications.
Sensible warning.Thank you.
I would like to add few more facts to your informative article.
Paracetamol is the safest medicine for fever even though it does not have some of other qualities of NSAIDS (Aspirin, Ibuprofen). NSAIDS has anti inflammatory and anti platelet action along wit its anti pyretic action - Acting against fever).
In some countries (like south asia) it is not recommended to take NSAIDS for fever without doctors' advice due to high prevalence of dengue hemorrhagic fever. So in these countries NSAIDs are not available over the counter.
Main organ which is affected with paracetamol over dosage is Liver. I have seen children who got over doses when they were treated at home for fever. So popper calculation of the dosage is very important.
Unfortunately There has been increase in use of paracetamol as a drug for attempted suicides. There are treatments for paracetamol overdose like N-Acetylcystine which has to be given as soon as possible.
So if anyone suspects over dosage of paracetamol, itis always better to go to ER where they will check the blood paracetamol level.
Paracetamol dosage should be adjusted to low level if there is any liver disease.
The rationale for not mixing Aspirin and Ibuprofen (Advil) is that both of them belong to the same drug group called Non Steroidal Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) and have similar function acting on cyclooxygenase pathway.
Your advice about never exceeding prescribed dosages and also checking with one's doctor is good advice.

This year's Rothesay Horticultural Society show will go ahead in a new home due to the temporary closure of its usual venue.
Major refurbishment of Rothesay Pavilion means the society's 2016 show will instead take place in Rothesay Trinity's church, halls and gardens on the weekend of September 3 and 4.
And in a bid to boost interest on Bute in both horticulture and recycling, local social enterprise Fyne Futures is joining the party this year by sponsoring two new classes at the event.
In one, children be asked to demonstrate the most original way to recycle or re-use a plastic soft drink bottle, while in the other, adults will be asked to do the same with an empty soft drink can.
The two new classes come with significant sponsorship prizes - the winner of each class will receive £25, with the runner-up receiving £15 and the entrant placed third receiving £10.
Fyne Futures' involvement is part of the two-year Zero Waste Bute project, backed by Zero Waste Scotland with financial support of £200,000.
Reeni Kennedy-Boyle, Fyne Futures' project manager, said: "Fyne Futures is delighted to be involved with Rothesay Horticultural Society's 2016 show through the sponsorship of these new classes.
"With the support of Zero Waste Scotland we're doing our best to get everyone thinking about recycling and reducing the amount of waste from Bute that goes to landfill."
Rothesay Horticultural Society, meanwhile, has received a pledge of £979 from For Bute to pay for the construction of new staging for the show at its new home in September.
RHS chairman Frank McCabe said: "The 2016 show is sure to be a busy event, and with two new trophies to be introduced and presented as well as the two new classes sponsored by Fyne Futures and Zero Waste Bute, there's plenty of time to get working on your entries.
"Membership levels have been growing steadily over recent years which shows interest in, and enthusiasm for, horticulture and craftwork on the island is as strong as ever."
Membership of one of the longest-established horticultural societies in Scotland - costs just £5 a year and comes with many benefits, including access to the show schedule, eligibility to compete in the show, free entry to the event, and invitations to any winter meetings and other special events the society arranges.
You can find out more - including details of the society's annual trip to the Gardening Scotland exhibition at Ingliston, taking place this year on Saturday, June 4 - at www.rothesayhorticulturalsociety.com or at the society's page on Facebook.

So I haven't written a blog post in so so long! And in that time, I've finished my university degree in Forensic Science with a 2:1, started a full time job as a Sales consultant for a developer company in Sheffield, moved into my very own 2 bed flat AND travelled America for 18 days!! :O
Crazy Crazy stuff…
So first of all I just wanted to say that while having all this going on i've still managed to stick to WW (minus going to america) and treat weekends! okay lets say stick to plan Mon-Fri haha – which i find works for me.. But i did put on about 8lbs whilst in America, so i really need to get my head stuck in and stick to plan! Also up my exercise as i haven't been to the gym in probably over 2 months! Due to me cancelling my membership cos i was moving flats.
But i now live with my gorgeous boyfriend was into fitness too! not so much the food side as he doesn't eat vegetables but definitely the exercise side, which tbh I probably need help with the most as I'm quite good with knowing what to eat! so from Monday we are both starting back up at PureGym – the one i left as i thought i'd go to a different one but turns out that's the one he wants to go too haha! and i really like it there anyway.. so i should be able to get back to the gym 3 days a week, probably after work or in the evenings when i can go with him as it will give me more motivation!
so some of my new goals that i want to set before i turn 23 in October…
1. Lose my America gain
2. Get down in the 9's (i've to be in the 9's for so so long!!)
3. Exercise 3 times a week
4. once i get in the 9's i want to change my diet slightly and cut out refined sugars! (such as slim fast bars & crisps)
5. Ideally it would be lovely to fit in size 8's (although i do have 2 pairs already that fit me!! yay)
Also my boyfriend is hoping to start up a fitness instagram account! so that should be fun for him to do it too and work together.. i should be able to post more regularly now, and get back in the swing of thingsss!
Ciao x

Admins send out ominous eails warning what will happen if you indulge in "inappropriate behaviour", directed at men, while ignoring the fact that dozens of their female members are completely psychotic and hate men. Read Full Review I joined 'Freedating' a while ago and haven't had one date!!, the forum can be interesting, but there can be a 'click' amongst members who have been there the longest!They might come to a date together to make sure is safe. Eventually u r lost between the even a star that site worth…Read Full Review I tried out this website because I'm looking for a dating site that is free to use, but almost as soon as my profile had been verified and was up on the site I began receiving messages that didn't make sense. Appearance of the site of the site is that it is a little old and out of date but hey, it's free! Read Full Review It's a free site that offers the opportunity to date. Like any other site, all life will be on there and you will no doubt find people that you do not like or bother you.some of the guys are always in a rush to get you into their house on a first date (alarm bells) and its a damn shame he's still out there. Best of luck to you moving forward x Written on: 04/06/2016 yeah my account was suspended for no reason.i never broke any rules and i left loads of messages i didn't get a reply .
Eg click on '1 star' to just display the reviews we have which received a 1 star rating click or 'Within the last month' to display just reviews posted over the last month. You cannot express yourself in any adult way in the forums on Freedating, the forums which tend to be full of people so polarised in their viewpoints, it is as bad as the politics of this country and the hatred that comes with it is all to prevalant. I seriously doubt that people actually meet on sites like this and expect to find their life long partner, and thanks to the forums every part of you and what you might believe in is…I am a gay male, so my profile clearly stated that I was a male looking for males, and yet I kept receiving messages and winks from profiles stating they were 'male looking for females'. The same night I was chatting to a lady with similar interests. There is a handy block button to prevent repeated unwelcome attention and a report button for Moderator and site owner to assess the merits of and act accordingly.This leads me to believe that many profiles on the site are fake, and most of the messages you receive… Now some may report and see no action taken but perhaps do not take into account the fact that they are not impartial, whereas those…I blocked him then warned the site admin of what was going on. All mens and womens are not the same there are some decent ppl out there its hard to pick one out. Yes I did mean free uk I met one man on there who only wanted a one night stand. My advice would be to try a safer website or meet someone in person. When I explained the situation to the site admin they did nothing about him at all.I had to leave because of him it should have been him being blocked. Written on: 15/03/2015 Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. Was this guy from the Sheffield area by any chance?, I think it's run well for a free site, there are no hidden charges and the block button is handy!!

Mountain Bike Instructor Profiles - Clare
I'm the behind-the-scenes girl! I look after as much of the paper work as I can and write for the Bike Blog with Mike, but you will often see me out and about on the trails. I'm an uphill junkie – I love all the technical climbs. I ride a Giant at the moment, which I love, although Specialized have always done me proud in the past.
My favourite rides are the Howgills in Cumbria and Lady Bower reservoir towards the Peaks. I have also been known to break a grin on the downhill trails in Morzine!
The important point here, though, is I make sure the instructors get some all-important female input on what we find hard or challenging.
There's a group of us who ride regularly and the technical skills we find more difficult to master seem different from the boys. I am forever nagging the instructors to make sure our needs are accounted for!

Giant VT2
Favourite Ride
- Lady Bower reservoir, Peak District
I am passionate about the outdoors and mountaineering in general. If I'm not on my bike then I am away ice climbing or mountaineering with the Lancashire Mountaineering Club, usually on a Munroe somewhere.
I love to see people out enjoying the countryside and their hobby. And thanks for all the giggles – keep joining in with the blog and Facebook to let us know what and where you are riding your bike!

The Magnum is one of the default weapons in the game, so the player doesn't need to buy the Pro Pack to use this weapon. The Magnum, or .44 Magnum, is a semi-automatic handgun, so its firing rate is very slow. The Magnum shots approximately 1 bullet per second, while it can just hold 6 rounds.
Like the Uzi, the Magnum is one of the starting weapons in singleplayer and multiplayer matches as well.
If the player purchases the Pro Pack he will be able to play with one Magnum and another handgun at the same time, so he can play with the Dual Wield feature.
Plus to the 6 bullets, the weapon already holds you got 36 backup rounds. The maximum zoom with the Magnum is 3x. While the firing rate is pretty slow one of this gun deals a more or less high amount of damage. 3 (in some cases up to 5) hits are enough to get your opponent down.

Lord have mercy! I don't know what to say. Lord just have mercy.
evans needs to be used as a scapegoat so this can stop!
I agree
This Evans' case has actually done more harm becos it has opened the eyes of would-be kidnappers to the amount of money they can make. Afterall, they would simply not be as careless as Evans' crew was.
It appears they are now kidnapping people randomly. Rich or poor. If Evans is not killed then I will know rhe government of this country has lost it. Lord where are we headed.
There is no education in Nigeria.Large percentage of the population are extremely ignorant,unexposed and uninformed,especially the youth. The terrible even is not meant for twitter or any form of social media narration. It is squarely meant to be reported to the Police and appropriate action and measures taken. This should be reported to the police and not twitter. I am %100 sure that the victim only shared his=expectant story with his ever-frighten friends and never visited the police post.
I'm deeply saddened by so much unhealthy and endless negativities always being reported about Nigeria by,especially Nigerians. Enough is Enough!!!
I am personally tired of reading bad events circulated all over the social media by Nigerians.Instead of writing unending criminal activities you heard about,why not call,text or email the events to the Police,Army or the any other security agencies and let them do their job.
The world don't know anything about Nigeria except the negativities we post online by ourselves and we are constantly being judged and address by these scary stigmatized image.
By the Grace of God I live somewhere in Europe and every time we have to discuss and search about Nigeria online at school.It is the extremely scary events posted by the Nigerians that always pop up every time.
You wouldn't want to know how I feel every time I see these pathetic images/videos in the midst of friends.The other time,it was the video of Boko Haram recently invading maiduguri that popped up when we had to search Nigeria.(This video was taking by a Borno resident using his phone) Why would this guy just possibly send his video to the police or appropriate security agency instead of posting it online.
We have so many wonderful and interesting things in our beautiful country. We are not the only country going through insecurity challenges.There is kidnapping,terrorism etc in USA,USA,RUSSIA etc but I hardly see these things.
We should always concentrate on the good things happening in our enviroments and in our country at large.Let us write those things,make videos and post them online instead of the negatives.
Nigeria is currently battling with image negativity.you and I cant continue to contribute to this.
we have to change and it starts from the small things we post online.
Wow! Glad he is alive to tell this tale.
This must have been same gang that robbed residents at that same area in Ijegun on tuesday midnigt.
TNK God 4 his life
In other news,if u don't want 2 spoil ur day, Do Not Visit Nairaland..learnt d hard way.
D comments from people there are just hurtful
Hmmmm. I took keke on that route from shoprite to ojuelegba recently. After I boarded, another guy jumped in but in a strange manner and was looking back at me several times. Before we got to TFC, I promptly came down and spent another 20mins waiting for another but I was too uneasy about that ride. This further lends credence to my fear. Where will I jump to biko with my big belly?
God help us.

Celebrating Halloween with the Teal Pumpkin Project
There are certain things that come to mind when you picture Halloween: funny costumes, smiling jack-o'-lanterns and—best of all—bags brimming with brightly wrapped candy.
But for children with severe food allergies to nuts, milk, soy or wheat, Halloween seems a little different, and more often than not, their bag can come home empty.
The Teal Pumpkin ProjectTM by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) aims to raise awareness for these allergies around Halloween and make it an inclusive holiday for all trick-or-treaters.
To participate in the Project, simply provide non-food treats for trick-or-treaters (glow sticks, pencils, stickers, small toys, etc.) and place a teal-painted pumpkin outside your home to indicate you have non-food fun. If you're interested, then we hope you'll join us in following the simple steps below to paint your pumpkin teal!
To start, you'll need:
- A pumpkin
- Medium-sized paintbrush
- 8 oz. sample container of BEHR Premium Plus in teal (we chose The Real Teal P470-7)
Step One: Clean your pumpkin using warm water, a clean rag and some dish soap, if needed. Wipe the pumpkin dry with a towel, or let it air-dry completely.
Step Two: Apply the first coat of paint using a medium-sized paintbrush and leave it to dry completely.
Step Three: If some orange is still peeking through, apply a second coat of paint to your pumpkin and let it dry.
Step Four: Place your pumpkin in a spot that is visible from your street or sidewalk. Having the teal pumpkin out a few days before Halloween will let nearby parents know your home is food allergy-friendly. You can also download a sign from the Teal Pumpkin Project advertising your participation on FARE's website.
For more information on the initiative, or to pledge your support of the Teal Pumpkin Project, visit www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project. Happy Halloween!
Colorfully Yours,

Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)
Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) is a 'subthreshold' condition in which some - but not all - features of autism or another explicitly identified Pervasive Developmental Disorder are identified. PDD-NOS is often incorrectly referred to as simply "PDD." The term PDD refers to the class of conditions to which autism belongs. PDD is NOT itself a diagnosis, while PDD-NOS IS a diagnosis. The term Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS; also referred to as "atypical personality development," "atypical PDD," or "atypical autism") is included in DSM-IV to encompass cases where there is marked impairment of social interaction, communication, and/or stereotyped behavior patterns or interest, but when full features for autism or another explicitly defined PDD are not met.
According to the DSM-IV, this category should be used 'when there is a severe and pervasive impairment in the development of social interaction or verbal and nonverbal communication skills, or when stereotyped behavior, interests, and activities are present, but the criteria are not met for a specific Pervasive Developmental Disorder (i.e. other form of ASD), Schizophrenia, Schizotypal Personality Disorder, or Avoidant Personality Disorder.'

When I started working on Odesk, I discovered that I can do Local Funds Transfer straight to BPI with free of charge. I don't have to transfer my money from Odesk to Paypal, then Paypal to Union Bank (occasionally, I do this). So I opened a new BPI savings account to the nearest branch from my place.
The usual requirements:
- 2 valid ID's (bring photocopy of the two ID's)
- 1x1 picture ID
- personal appearance
I chose the account with the minimum deposit of PhP 500. Its withdrawal fee is PhP 5.00 from BPI ATM and PhP 15.00 from another ATM machine. This account served as my emergency fund. I seldom withdrew my earnings here because I have Union Bank for my other earnings. So my earnings are totally divided.
The reason I opened a new BPI Savings Account is because of BPI Direct Save-Up with its Automatic Savings + Insurance. I was already aware of this before but never used this product. I had no insurance so I decided to enroll. I'll discuss this to my next blog post.
There were moments that I had no full-time job and occasionally, I withdrew some amounts there. Your emergency fund should be three to six months worth of expenses. Fortunately, my expenses in a month is not really that huge. Also, I can't imagine myself not to find another online job within three to six months. Although I did not have a full-time job then, I had other part-time jobs. I always find myself productive.
So do you have your emergency fund already?

Saltford rowers' delight at new HQ of the highest oar-der!
With a new clubhouse, gym and massive storage space for boats and equipment, the members of Avon County Rowing Club have plenty to appreciate about their new £1.2 million HQ.
With a new clubhouse, gym and massive storage space for boats and equipment, the members of Avon County Rowing Club have plenty to appreciate about their new £1.2 million HQ.
But for the hardy rowers perhaps the most welcome thing about the development, which saw the old buildings pulled down and two large brand new units built in their place, is the fact they can now have a warm shower after a stint on the River Avon.
The new buildings were unveiled at the end of September by Olympic rower Alex Partridge and Lord Mayor of Bristol Councillor Alastair Watson, himself a member of the club.
The development was the result of a partnership between the Saltford club, the University of Bristol's Boat Club and Monkton Combe School with support from British Rowing and Sport England, while the Duchy of Cornwall, the landowner, oversaw the building project.
With the plans on the table for years, each of the clubs involved undertook their own fundraising, from cake sales to sponsored rows on rowing macines outside supermarkets, enabling the work to get under way in August 2013.
Avon County Rowing Club secretary Debbie Blackmore said: "Along with some generous donations, it was a real grassroots thing when it came to fundraising.
"For a long time during the work we had no buildings, the builders worked through the worst flooding any of us had seen down here but it was all worth it.
"Our captain Penny Senior kept us sailing throughout it all and, against all expectations, membership grew – British Rowing were astonished.
"We are all delighted with the new buildings and perhaps the biggest surprise was the clubhouse. We can't believe how big and light it is and it means the different clubs can socialise."
The bright and airy clubhouse, situated above the gym and changing rooms, boasts a kitchen, woodburner and a balcony that affords views along the river – where once Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave picked up his first ever medal as a schoolboy competing at an Avon County event.
The facilities are sure to impress any visitors thinking of taking up the sport, which will help Avon County meet its goal of expanding membership even further. The club will be running "taster sessions" from spring next year.
With 180 members across the junior and adult squads, the club offers coaching at all levels and the chance to compete in a variety of events, while they are also purchasing new "fours" boats to increase the opportunity for recreational rowing. With strong junior and women's squads, one area the club particularly hopes to build up is its younger men's squad.
Debbie added: "Rowing is a great sport and we would love to see more people take it up – it's technical but we've got people who have been rowing all their lives and are always happy to help people learn."

On June 23, eight new buildings across the European Union were presented with a prestigious Royal Institute of British Architecture (RIBA) European Award for their high architectural standards and contribution to their local environment.
Projects selected for their design excellence range in size and use from the "constantly amazing" Phaeno Science Centre in Wolfsburg, Germany; three small cabins used for silence and prayer in the Comeragh Mountains in Ireland, to the Caixa Galicia Art Gallery in Spain and the German government's environment agency building in Dessau. Projects by up-and-coming young architects, as well as established names including Richard Rogers Partnership and Zaha Hadid Architects are amongst the winners.
Fifty-four buildings across the UK received RIBA Awards, and eight in the rest of the EU received RIBA European Awards.
At the RIBA Awards dinner, ten additional international buildings received an RIBA International Award supported by The Architectural Review, and the winner of the inaugural Lubetkin Prize was announced.

You have probably hear about the Mayhem for Mustard Seed Ranch Event that Rich Froning is putting on.
If you haven't here is a great article by Kim Driver and a quick Video about the event.
Article by Kim Driver
Strength to overcome.
Isn't that what CrossFit is all about? Workouts that will test strength and endurance across broad time and modal domains. Athletes train to be ready for anything that is thrown at them. So what does this philosophy have to do with a childrens' home. That is what many people have wondered when they hear that Rich Froning Jr. is hosting his first annual fitness Competition, Mayhem for Mustard Seed Ranch. What could the two possibly have in common?
In more ways than one, the answer is STRENGTH. For those who have been involved in CrossFit for any length of time, or even for those who have just recently caught on, strength is a familiar word. Each workout heavily relies on individual strength among other things to complete. At CrossFit affiliates across the nation, the athletes wait anxiously to see the WOD (Workout of the Day) each day. Anything can be thrown at them; chest-to-bar pull-ups, overhead squats, handstand pushups, and athletes rely on their training, skills, and strength to complete the WODs and move on to the next one. All the while, athletes at any level are mastering new skills, improving time, and building strength to take on any challenge thrown at them. The community that develops from this hard work is unparalleled. Just Google "CrossFit Journal" and you will read article upon article about wayward souls, people who are lost, shot down by the hardships of life; then they walk in a CrossFit gym, and things change. Each story is different, but individuals are finding a new strength and community in many of the 9000 CrossFit Affiliate gyms across the world. So the strength is two-fold: Physical Strength and Relational strength – Community.
Mustard Seed Ranch is a home and an interdenominational Christian ministry for children from the ages of 5-17. These children have experienced abuse, neglect, or come from homes of drug addiction. Each child comes in need of a healthy family environment. They sometimes have been through more than most of people face in a lifetime, and Mustard Seed Ranch is ready and waiting to provide spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and social development. The Mustard Seed Ranch partners with many sponsors and families to promote hope and healing through the love of Christ. Their hope is to reintegrate healthy, young, strong Christian individuals into society who are equipped to make a positive impact on the world.
So just like CrossFit, Mustard Seed Ranch helps to build strength: strength to face life and all its troubles, strength to handle the unknown; the hardships no one knows are coming, strength to overcome those hardships when they do. It can be said best by Tammy Depperschmidt, the Director of Mustard Seed Ranch, "We are raising many kids who have had so many tragic things happen to them and most of them all before the age of 15. We tell them that life is unpredictable and difficult. That this is a fundamental truth we all must learn to accept. In that acceptance, lies strength. The moment you think you've got the hang of how it all works, the very instant you have figured it all out, life changes. The strength to overcome the challenges posed by life lies within themselves. So at Mustard Seed Ranch, we are trying to help prepare these kids for life, to cultivate strong individuals who do not give up, and are ready for every challenge."
Rich Froning Jr.'s Mayhem for Mustard Seed Ranch Fitness Competition is a three-man same-sex team competition that will be held on Saturday, April 12th from 9am to 4pm at Hyder Burks Pavilion in Cookeville, TN.
