I am finally sharing Part III of this DIY Arm Candy Series. See Part I and Part II to create the ribbon and chain bracelet as well as the beaded bracelet to add to your pretty collection.
Today, the tutorial is all about the gold faceted button and chain piece.
What you will need:
cable chain (I used ~5.5" in length)
large faceted button (I found mine at Joanns within a variety pack)
2 large jump rings
link connector
lobster clasp
needle nose pliers
Start by measuring the chain around your wrist. Create the chain by making it about .5-1" shorter than the circumference of your wrist. I measured my chain at 5.5". Set the chain aside.
Take a jump ring and your needle nose pliers and open the link. Push the jump ring through one of the button holes.
Attach an end link of your chain to the jump ring and close it using your pliers.
Do the same with the other jump ring and button hole.
Once your chain is now connected to the faceted button, remove the middle link of the chain to separate it.
Attach the lobster clasp to an end chain link using your needle nose pliers to open and close the link back up. Do the same with the link connector by attaching it to the other end link of your chain.
Voila! If your bracelet is too small or too big, you can always add or remove links in your chain.
If you make any of the bracelets from these tutorials, I'd love to see them! Use hashtag #lovesparklepretty via social media to spread the love and who knows, you may even see yourself on my blog. ;)
Have a beautiful day my friends!

"A hack is on the constant hunt for 'ideas' for his plots, or 'new angles.' The real writer is haunted by a plot which he must write out of inner necessity. He is impervious to suggestions."~ EDMUND BERGLER
I usually begin with the main part of the post, and put my writing update last, but I'm doing it differently for this post, because I'm as excited as a writer as I have been in a long time. Last Monday morning, as I sat at this keyboard working on the Beyond the Rails edit (and more on that later), the idea for a story struck me with the physical impact of a Mike Tyson haymaker. I should tell you right now that, accepting the sage advice of Vladimir Nabokov, Anne Tyler, and Norman Mailer, I am not going into a great amount of detail, but this idea concerns the goings on in a mythical city. Its ambition, and that is beyond any doubt the right word, is to tie together every myth and fable in human history. The name of the city, and the working title, is Nexus, but had Star Trek not used the title for its Hugo Award-winning episode, it could easily have been called The City on the Edge of Forever.
Tuesday, having slept on it, I woke up with the premise of the story fully formed, fleshed out some of the mechanics, and worked out most of the big-picture details of time and setting. It may be difficult for me to stay within the confines of steampunk for this one, although I may be able to work some limited aspects in. It will be traumatic, and feel like something of a betrayal, to leave it behind, but authors are supposed to grow, right? By Wednesday, yesterday, I was fleshing out some characters and outlining the opening scene. In the days ahead I have plans to begin a detailed map.
The point is, this new project has taken over my head, and is working diligently to throw everything else out into the street. Stingaree? Never mind that, it wants me to abandon the Beyond the Rails edit. So far, the discipline is in place to prevent that, but lots of notes are getting assembled in the notebook that accompanies me everywhere. By next post, I may be wondering why I ever thought this was a good idea, but right now it's is the biggest event on my writing horizon. Stay tuned for updates.
On the subject of Beyond the Rails III, I have finished the second edit, and put the manuscript aside to cool off, in other words, to allow my love for my own prose to fade. In the interim, and in preparation for its publication, I have completed a full edit of the first book, and over the next week to ten days, will be editing the second. These edits involve morphing all of the apostrophes and quotation marks which were somehow transferred in different type face than the text, correcting a few typos and misspellings, and removing a bunch of hyphens that I was advised had appeared in the middle of a good many sentences. Owners of the original editions should be advised that no substantive changes have been made, and you will not miss anything if you don't buy the updated version. By the time I'm finished editing the second book, I'll be ready to start the final edit on the third, and there is an outside chance that it could be ready for purchase by Christmas, though not by much. Anyway, that's the latest. Now, on to the article I had planned...
If the exterior, the cover, prompts you to knock on the door, someone will open it, and what you see over the resident's shoulder constitutes the first impression that you will never unsee. Looking past the door frame, you'll see a well-ordered home, a loving family, or a mess, maybe even one of those hoarder houses from the National Geo Channel, and what you see in that first glimpse is what's going to make you decide to come in, or say "sorry, wrong address," and flee to your car to escape.
The literary equivalent of that first glimpse is your opening sentence, and we are taught that if you want a modern reader with all the demands she has on her time to come in and make herself comfortable, that first sentence had better be a doozy! Let's examine a few from books new and old, large and small, and see what the writer accomplished with the use of his first dozen words or so. For starters, let's look at a few classics:
1. A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, 1864:
On the 14th of May, 1863, my uncle, Professor Liedenbrock, rushed into his little house, No. 19 Königstrasse, one of the oldest streets in the oldest portion of the city of Hamburg.
As an opening sentence, this seems terribly weak to me. Grant you, I am no fan of Verne, having finally read seven of his most acclaimed works, but this first sentence is in no way calculated to make me want to read the rest of it.
2. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1883:
3. The Man Who Would Be King by Rudyard Kipling, 1888:
The Law, as quoted, lays down a fair conduct of life, and one not easy to follow.
Again, a generation after Verne, is there anything here that makes you want to keep going? There certainly isn't for me, and unlike Verne, Kipling is one of my favorite authors. It seems that the early adventure books that boys cut their teeth and honed their dreams on tended to begin with a whimper rather than a bang. Perhaps the 20th Century would fare better?
4. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conon Doyle, 1901:
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table.
Nope. Apparently, readers in the latter half of the 19th Century held expectations so low that this sort of dull, uninteresting introductory fare that promised the reader an adventure in staying awake was not only acceptable, but so superior that these are among the books best remembered today. And this despite the existence prior to them all of this invitation to come into the writer's parlor:
5. The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allen Poe, 1842:
I was sick — sick unto death with that long agony; and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me.
Now, here were words to bring a reader in for the long journey, and penned by a crass American a generation before the great Jules Verne wrote uninspired prose about his uncle rushing into his house! How could these masters have forgotten how it was done? But let's move forward fifty years, and see how mid-Twentieth Century authors were snagging their readers.
6. The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1954:
When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
It is impossible, in the wake of Peter Jackson's magnificent films, to go back and pretend that we don't know what this book is going to become, but as an opening sentence, all I see to "bring me in," as it were, is that reference to an eleventy-first birthday. This might engender some slight curiosity as to what exactly that might be, so it's clever enough, but hardly compelling. Where are those opening lines that today's writing professors, agents, and publishers warn us have to get the reader by the throat with the opening statement, and never let go? When did they begin? Perhaps in war...
7. Mr. Lincoln's Army by Bruce Catton, 1951:
The rowboat slid out on the Potomac in the hazy light of a hot August morning, dropped down past the line of black ships near the Alexandria wharves, and bumped to a stop with its nose against the wooden side of a transport.
This is better. In fairness, this is a non-fictional history being written in a narrative style, but it makes me at least wonder what the business of the people in that rowboat is, and want to read further to find out. And honestly, if what is essentially a textbook can set the hook like this, what's the matter with these fiction authors? Let's explore further.
8. Jirel Meets Magic by C.L. Moore, 1935:
Over Guishard's fallen drawbridge thundered Joiry's warrior lady, sword swinging, voice shouting hoarsely inside her helmet.
Now, here is an author who knows how to hook a reader, and it's obvious that the art hadn't been lost at all. Of course, Moore wrote for the fantasy pulps, and as such, was considered beneath mention by the literary snobs who wrote books for smart people. Naturally, as so often happens, Catherine Lucille Moore is given her due today, decades after her death. Her series, Jirel of Joiry, is praised as being one of the first works to show the influence of Robert E. Howard (Conan), and the first to introduce a powerful leading female character to the fantasy genre. But she was hardly mainstream. Let's look at some late-in-the-Century powerhouses.
9. The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, 1977:
The sun was already sinking into the deep green of the hills to the west of the valley, the red and gray-pink of its shadows touching the corners of the land, when Flick Ohmsford began his descent.
His descent? Now this is more like it. What is he descending to? From where? Classic; a simple description of a simple scene that absolutely demands that you learn more. This is promising. Moving on, then, to a true modern powerhouse of literature and screen, we have:
10. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, 1990:
The tropical rain fell in drenching sheets, hammering on the corrugated roof of the clinic building, roaring down the metal gutters, splashing on the ground in a torrent.
Here is a passage that says nothing about its genre. It might be adventure, romance, horror, or mystery, but it requires further reading. Brilliant! Now we're getting somewhere! A few years further along, we are presented with:
11. Shock Wave by Clive Cussler, 1996:
Of the four clipper ships built in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1854, one stood out from the others.
Would you read on? It seems optional. If you enjoy a good yarn of the sea, as I do, then you probably would. If not, this seems a little flat. The rest of the paragraph goes on to describe dimensions, tonnage, and sailing characteristics; hardly the most exciting fare. Moving on to one of my favorite authors:
12. The Crystal Shard by R.A. Salvatore, 1988:
The demon sat back on the seat it had carved in the stem of the giant mushroom.
All right, my personal bias notwithstanding, who can read that introductory sentence from the first of 40 books, give or take, and toss it aside with a "meh?" Salvatore has been on the NYT Best Sellers List for over two decades, with his stories of dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden and his small band of companions. He should be as big as Tolkien, but much like C.L. Moore, he isn't taken seriously because he writes in the Dungeons & Dragons universe as dictated by that role-playing game system. How much do our prejudices, and those of others, deprive us of? Before I wrap this up, I want to look at three of the biggest blockbusters ever to seize the public's imagination:
13. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling, 1997:
Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.
Yeah, curiosity is generated, I suppose, and this is the first sentence of the first book intended for children, and perhaps it works in that context, but I just have this nagging feeling that the Queen Mother of Fantasy missed a great opportunity to make a grand entrance. *Sigh* Moving on...
14. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, 2005:
My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down.
Meh. What are we looking at here? Is this supposed to excite me to keep reading? Well, it doesn't. I have driven to the airport, or at least past it, many times with the windows down, and have yet to become romantically involved with a vampire. So, let's wrap this up with the most infamous book and movie ever put before the American public:
15. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, 2011:
I scowl with frustration at myself in the mirror.
Has anyone else ever done this, or am I the only one? Oh, you have? As an opening line, this one makes closing the book seem like an inordinate amount of effort. Just drop it where you are, and let the housekeeper deal with it. This book, and Twilight, are so polarizing that the mere mention of them in a certain Facebook writers' group of which I am a member is grounds for dismissal.
But I'm not here to discuss the literary merit of any of these works. This is about the first sentence, and its ability to hold that reader as she stands before the bookstore shelf, several dozen books of her chosen genre laid out before her, and what is that author going to do to snag her right now? Why shouldn't she put your book back on the shelf after that quick scan of the first page, and pick up someone else's?
As authors, we are all told loudly and repeatedly that we have to snag the interest of the agent/publisher/reader from the opening line, and it makes sense to my logic center. Deciding to look into this more closely, I chose the first dozen books more or less at random from my own shelf to cover a wide time span and several genres, then I added the last three, which I don't own, because they are huge! I looked at a number of other well-known books and authors, from Fail Safe to The Killer Angels, from Asimov to Grisham, and what I found is that very few big, well-known authors adhere to this principle, regardless of the era, and the bigger they are, the less likely they are to do so. This was the exact opposite of what I expected.
So, what is to be my conclusion here? I easily put more time and effort into this article than any other I have ever done, and I can honestly say that I am stunned by the results. Fifteen books, plus another score considered and not included, is hardly a meaningful sample, but they are fifteen successful books by mostly major authors, and very few, 20% by my lights, adhere to the principle in question. That doubles to 40% if you include the borderline entries, but that isn't much for a market as savagely competitive as publishing and marketing books. Have we been mislead? Is it unimportant? What's a struggling indie to think?
Here's what I think: I will continue to make my opening sentence a mind-harpoon designed to spear the reader's curiosity and sense of adventure. Why not? I see nothing to lose by making that opening hook as compelling as possible. If that is done well, maybe that browser in Barnes & Noble or on Amazon's website drops your book into his basket instead of back into obscurity, moving on to look for another opening that better meets his expectations. Yes, that seems to fly in the face of my empirical data, but in a business where 5,000 new books are published every day, no advantage seems too small to seek out.
This has been inspiring. Maybe a few weeks down the road, I'll look at some of the indie books published by my friends and colleagues, and see what we can glean about them. Maybe they'll find it helpful; maybe I'll find myself friendless. Time will tell. Until then, get out there and live life like you mean it!

ADO.NET ExecuteNonQuery in SqlCommand Object
ExecuteNonQuery() is one of the most frequently used method in SqlCommand Object and is used for executing statements that do not return result set. ExecuteNonQuery() performs Data Definition tasks as well as Data Manipulation tasks also. The Data Definition tasks like creating Stored Procedures and Views perform by ExecuteNonQuery() . Also Data Manipulation tasks like Insert , Update and Delete perform by ExecuteNonQuery().
The following example shows how to use the method ExecuteNonQuery() through SqlCommand Object.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim connetionString As String Dim cnn As SqlConnection Dim cmd As SqlCommand Dim sql As String connetionString = "Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;User ID=UserName;Password=Password" sql = "Your SQL Statement Here" cnn = New SqlConnection(connetionString) Try cnn.Open() cmd = New SqlCommand(Sql, cnn) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() cmd.Dispose() cnn.Close() MsgBox(" ExecuteNonQuery in SqlCommand executed !!") Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Can not open connection ! ") End Try End Sub End Class
connetionString = "Data Source = ServerName; Initial Catalog = DatabaseName; User ID = UserName; Password = Password"
sql = "Your SQL Statement Here"
You have to replace the string with your realtime variables.

Lily and her guards returned to the Sanctuary and as soon as she was inside, she sent a couple to send for her father. She waited in the throne room for him, sitting in the throne, letting the magic weave around her and calm her.
Theren entered the throne room and saluted her.
"My Queen, you summoned me?" His voice strained and cracked as he greeted her formally.
"Yes Father. I am your queen and it's about time you remembered that. I just had a conversation with Mother. Seems whoever killed her made it where she cannot tell me who killed her but said YOU would know who I could talk to to cast a spell that will allow me to see what happened through her eyes."
Theren's eyes narrow as he listens to his daughter. Then he sighs. "Fine. I will help you with this, but only because it is my duty to do as my queen commands. And leave it to your mother, even in death, to remember this type of magick."
He goes and gets a chair and sits at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the throne. He rubs his face and Lily notices that he has aged some since the last time they saw each other, which was interesting as most elves do not show their age. Thinking about what they'd both been through lately, she realized that it really shouldn't be surprising. She had been told that elves decided when and if they showed their age, as well as choosing when they left Vaedrathan and moved into the Spirit Fields. This thought made her wish she and her father weren't fight. She'd already lost one parent while they were arguing, she didn't want the same to happen with her father. She started to say something when Theren raised a hand.
"I'm sorry this is taking me so long to tell you. You must understand it is not easy and not something that I can freely talk about with just anyone. I have….a friend. An old colleague from ages ago when I was young and involved with my studies. This…friend chose to become what we call a lich. He chose to enter the realm of the dead before dying because he wasn't done learning things and was curious as to what happens on the other side. He is the only person that knows how to do what you are wanting to do. I must tell you though," he pauses and looks at her. "While this spell is not forbidden, it is frowned upon and is not talked about other than to warn young mages to stay away from it. There is no creature in the whole of the realm with a deeper understanding of death than Rien. He is one of the walking dead but you'd never know it. You have passed him many times when we've been in the city and when we buried your mother he was there. If you truly want to do this, you must go to the Royal Mausoleum and seek him out."
Lily listens as her father gives her this information, tapping her fingers on the arm of the throne.
"Thank you for telling me this, Father. I shall seek this Rien out, do this spell, find out who killed mother and do whatever needs to be done. I hope you will stand with me when that happens. You may go."
She waves her hand to dismiss him because as much as she didn't want to end this conversation this way, now was not the time to get soft.
Theren stands and salutes her, puts the chair back where it belonged and headed to the doors.
"OH and Father? Mother wants you to contact her. Says she needs to talk to you about a few things," Lily throws this information out to him, a smirk on her face as she knows what that conversation is going to be like for him.
As he leaves, she sees him hunch over and hears a heavy sigh before he walks out and closes the door.

by Nicole Lindenbaum September 25 2017
Analysts and thought leaders have been touting the benefits of shared services for some time now, but many organizations have yet to implement shared services for HR. Many customers we speak with start the journey to HR shared services by assessing the feasibility of the project - it is a big undertaking and the costs and benefits should be weighed before proceeding. The good news is that most customers find the returns on invested time, money, and resources are well worth the initial investment. In this post, we'll take a look at how you might evaluate the feasibility of switching to a shared services model, covering the kinds of investments you can expect to make in your transition as well as the significant benefits and valuable gains of an HR Shared Service Center.
The cost drivers for transitioning to shared services largely depend on your organization's structure but there are general drivers that you can anticipate. For instance, you'll likely see costs associated with implementing new technology to support the new ways your employees will work. Shifting employees away from old habits and training them in new ways of working is critical at this time. Implementing change management can support the HR Ops team's transition into new ways of doing their jobs, minimizing frustration and getting employees back to work quickly. The costs associated with a change management program should be considered.
You'll also want to have a plan in place to measure your KPIs so you can continuously optimize your Shared Service Center. Ideally, the technology you implement to support the HR shared services team should take this into account, so you can measure SLA performance, easily streamline processes, and identify opportunities for improvement. This will also help you prove your ROI over time.
Cloud technology means that you no longer need to co-locate employees in one center, but if you choose to, you'll also need to investigate which current office space could house your HR operations team or if you need to invest in a new space. You'll need to map out your ideal tiered org chart, and by auditing your existing talent pool, you can identify areas where you need to hire or re-train existing employees - and if you'll need to financially incent any employees to move geographically.
The costs of new buildings, new technology, new teams, and new hires may seem to be hard to swallow, but it's important to measure the estimated benefits you'll see to truly understand the feasibility of shared services for HR. Ultimately, a shared services model can save you significant amounts of money by increasing the agility and efficiency of your HR operations. Eliminating manual work and centralizing HR information and processes saves substantial amounts of time and resources, allowing your team to work quickly to resolve issues faster. And standardizing processes provides your team with consistent information and ways of working, and reduces the risk for error, translating into faster response and resolution times.
Not only will you see a significant increase in your team's efficiency and quality of service, you'll also see positive effects on your employees. Fast, consistent, and efficient HR Service Delivery means that your employees are receiving the best levels of support, helping them resolve their questions quickly and get back to work faster. This customer-like support also translates into positive employee experience, which substantially increases productivity. The impact of shared services on employee experience yields real value and serious benefits for your company.

Being a passenger isn't always a stress-free experience, as some callers have attested.
Read: 7 annoying things passengers do on public transport
Passengers are put through a lot when travelling with fussy or difficult drivers.
Presenter Eusebius McKaiser asked listeners to open up about their pet peeves when riding shotgun or in the back seat.
Also read: 10 things callers can't travel without
Here are some of the most annoying habits as experienced by passengers:
1. when the driver asks you to find coins for their parking ticket
a) Why am I holding/keeping the parking ticket just because I am in the passenger seat?— Nonjabulo Mabaso (@Njabu_MM) February 22, 2018
b) If I'm sitting in front in a taxi, how and WHY is it automatically my job to count lemali?
2. when drivers force passengers to answer their calls and reply to their messages
When the driver's phone rings, we have to be quiet and the volume of the radio is decreased. No such when mine rings.— Hansy Ntseke (@HNtseke) February 22, 2018
3. when drivers make you hold their food
Haau Eusebius! But if we don't give you those tasks what will your role be in the car? It's called division of labour.— #thumamina (@zangazulugirl) February 22, 2018
4. when the driver thinks he's in a 'Fast and Furious' film
When the driver speeds and puts my life in danger!— Kara Timperley (@KTimps) February 22, 2018
5. when you're asked to fix the side view mirror with serious precision
@Eusebius Hate it! when your a passenger & your asked to kindly ajust the side view mirror (in older cars) by pushing it forward until the driver tells you to stop.— ernest sefolo (@ernestsefolo) February 22, 2018
6. when they take you along for their own errands before dropping you off
@Eusebius The most irritating thing about being a passenger is when you accompany the driver to all of her/his appointments only to arrive at your own destination a century later!— Koketso (@koketso_ildashm) February 22, 2018
7. when they dictate the music selection for the journey
AUX cable dictatorship on road trips, a total bore...."reply to my WhatsApp coz I am driving "— The Sage Of Africa (@Ben_Lewinsky) February 22, 2018
Don't you dare touch my radio, I'm giving you a lift this is not an all paid vacation, you should not be more comfortable than the driver @Eusebius pic.twitter.com/vryFQBrYvG— King Sbu (@SbuIsKing) February 22, 2018
Take a listen to callers share their stories:
Here are some other thought on driver 'entitlement'
When the passenger doesn't PAY the passenger forfeits rights of privilege.— Mihlali Joja (@Mihlalij1978) February 22, 2018
My car. My coffee. My music. My rules. Count yourself privileged if you're allowed to park your behind in my passenger seat.— Shelley Smidt-Booys (@thedeal_is) February 22, 2018
I've lowered the music to "an acceptable" volume so your ears don't bleed. You're welcome.
Would I allow me to come to ur home and start rearranging ur furniture? It's my car my rules— Thabisile (@Thabisi02226527) February 22, 2018
If im driving and tts a long trip, don't u dare sleep next to me.— Tshawekazi Ruselo (@Vathiswar) February 22, 2018
Eusibius, then just walk. Passengers are a headache. Don't touch my radio, answer the phone, give me those coins...or walk kaloku— Tshawekazi Ruselo (@Vathiswar) February 22, 2018

The 22-year-old 6ft in model talked tech at SXSW in Austin, Texas last weekend, where she took part at the talk titled How Technology Colonised Fashion Week and pointed out the "goods and bads" about fashion's obsession with social media.
"I do think there is something special that has been lost a little bit – that is, simply being present without the distraction of being the first one to immediately tweet what the nail colour is backstage at Calvin Klein, as opposed to just being there in the moment," she said. "I think that's the case not just for me as a model, but the audience. All the editors are taking pictures and sharing that. There's good and bad to it." Model Karlie Kloss and Sara Wilson, head of Strategic Partnerships, Fashion and Lifestyle for Facebook/Instgram
However, the former Victoria's Secret Angel also credited Twitter and Instagram as a democratising force in fashion, allowing people around the world participate in the experience via social media. "The sharing aspect is really powerful because it brings so many more eyeballs to the event. One of the things about bringing people to the conversation is it also democratises what is popular and who is powerful. I think it's incredible that a blogger who has a really great voice can earn a front row seat at a show."
Social media has revolutionised the world and models aren't exempt from the pressures of it. They, too, need to keep up the follower count as their popularity in social media helps them land more gigs in the industry. Karlie Kloss backstage at New York fashion week this year
"It's an interesting sign of the times that models are being booked for jobs and covers because of their following on a social media platform," she said. "I walked in the Balmain show for Olivier Rousteing. If you rounded up all the numbers of the majority of his line-up, there would be upwards of 10, 15 million followers."
Model-on-the-rise Gigi Hadid confirmed Kloss' statement when she told The Independent last year that "social media is definitely something that is setting models apart".

Most persons who attended the Laughlintown Post Office meeting on February 19, 2013, knew it was just a formality, just United States Post Office procedure.
The 25 attendees knew what was coming was a done deal.
Still, there were lots of questions from Laughlintown Post Office and Rector Post Office box-holders. (FYI: The Rector Post Office is housed in the Laughlintown Post Office structure.) A presentation of the questions and issues raised at the meeting are found at Laughlintown (PA) Post Office to Make Changes: Part 2 .
In mid-January box-holders from the Laughlintown and Rector Post Offices received a mailing from the Post Office's Postplan Coordinator, Linda Cafara.
The Postal Service has established a review process for certain Post Offices known as the POST Plan.
The POST plan is a cost-cutting move that includes reducing Post Office window hours to 2, 4, or 6 hours per day, according to (William) Bill Battles, manager of Post Office Operations in Fayette and Westmoreland Counties.
The letter included an explanation of a new Post Office plan notification of the public meeting date/location, and a survey.
Mr. Battles opened the meeting by introducing himself and thanking attendees for coming. He noted that the public meeting was to make sure we—the box-holders and the Post Office—are all on same page. Then he read a prepared statement. However, the acoustics in the meeting place were poor and there wasn't a microphone. Thus, it was difficult to hear parts of his statement.
Mr. Battles stated that revenue is driving force for Post Office changes. He noted that Internet shopping is replacing activities formerly done by mail. Nearly 40 billion postal transactions are gone from the Postal service—and they are not coming back. The Post Office is losing money and it is still not closing Post Offices.
It has eliminated buildings, etc, to reduce costs. It has moved to cut down maintenance, transportation, and other costs. However, these actions have not reduced costs enough to keep the Post Office in business.
It needs to make necessary changes to ensure and secure services. It needs to do more to cut down the infrastructure. It has to do something to stay in business.
The Post plan is an attempt to preserve the Post Office while meeting customer and operational needs.
What does this mean for the Laughlintown (and Rector) Post Offices?
There were 230 responses to the 370 surveys mailed out. Box-holders were asked to select the alternative below which you most prefer (choose only one):
1. (80%—185 responses) Keep the office open, but with realigned weekday window service hours, based on actual office workload. In the case of the Laughlintown Post Office, hours would be changed from 8 hours each weekday to f hours each weekday. Current Saturday window service hours will not change as a result of POST Plan and access to your delivery receptacles will not be impacted by POST Plan.
2. (10%—24 responses) Conduct a discontinuance study for the office and provide roadside mailbox delivery. Retail and delivery service would be provided through a rural carrier. Mail delivery points will be established or maintained and customers can purchase most postal services through the carrier or other alternate access points. If you currently receive delivery service, Post Plan will not affect that service.
3. (2%—5 responses) Conduct a discontinuance study, for the office and find a suitable alternative location operated by a contractor, usually at a local business. When businesses are found that meet the criteria, these establishments are contracted through the United States Postal Service and offer stamps and flat rate products with service hours generally more expansive than what the local Post Office may be able to offer.
4. (2%—5 responses) Conduct a discontinuance study for the post office and relocate P. O. Box service to a nearby Post Office.
No selection was made by 5% (11 responses).
The letter included a second question: In the event that window service hours are changed to 4 hours per weekday, please indicate your preferences for weekday window service hours. Please note that the "box up" time (i. e. the time when mail is normally delivered to mail receptacles) will likely be affected by the range of hours selected.
Mr. Battles said that after reviewing the returned surveys and taking into account Postal Service operational needs, within a month to a month and a half retail hours for the Laughlintown/Rector Post Offices will likely be reduced on weekdays to 4 hours per day:
- Monday-Friday: 9:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m.
- Saturday: 9:00 a. m. to 12:00 p. m.
Access to delivery receptacles will not change. It is possible that the lobby hours will be open 24 hours—or it could have a time lock on the door, locking it at 5:00 p. m. weekdays.
Hours on the collection box will not change.
Changes will be posted on the Post Office door.
Part 2 of this article, BOX HOLDERS EXPRESS CONCERNS, will be posted March 3.

Nicola and Graeme finally tied the knot after a 14 year relationship and 2 adorable children, Callum and Mikey. They spent their time choosing the perfect venue, Clearwell Castle, and invited 90 guests to join them in the day and a further 50 friends to celebrate with them during the evening. Nicola used the hitched.co.uk website throughout her wedding planning for inspiration and support.
Nicola and Graeme met in a pub years ago when Nicola used to help out behind the bar. She also used to whip the local boys at a game of pool, and Graeme happened to be one of her culprits. Fast forward 14 years and the couple have two adorable children and have recently experienced a fairytale wedding at Clearwell Castle.
Graeme proposed 7 years into their relationship after a lovely meal in a country pub just before Christmas festivities began in 2005. The couple enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, but as the restaurant emptied, and just before dessert, Graeme bent down on one knee and proposed with an engagement ring he'd chosen himself. The couple already had one child, and Nicola became pregnant with their second shortly after their engagement. Providing for their children at the time was more important than a wedding, but when the time was right Nicola and Graeme were ready to plan their dream day!

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine for bloggers and readers to get excited about new books.
Forget Me by K.A. Harrington
An edge-of-your seat psychological thriller with a romantic twist
On the three-month anniversary of her boyfriend Flynn's death, Morgan uploads her only photo of him to FriendShare to get some closure—but she's shocked when the facial recognition software suggests she tag him as "Evan Murphy." She's never heard of Evan, but a quick search tells her that he lives in a nearby town and looks exactly like Flynn. Only this boy is very much alive.
Digging through layers of secrets and lies, Morgan is left questioning everything she thought she knew about her boyfriend, her town, and even her parents' involvement in this massive web of lies. (from GoodReads)
Wow this book sounds so creepy and intense! I love that it utilizes Facebook's new facial recognition - this definitely couldn't have been written a few years ago. Forget Me will be released August 7, 2014.

There are numerous reasons why people make the effort to fully bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs for automobile shows and personal enjoyment. Among the primary reasons people spend a lot time, energy, and cash bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is included in that particular mustang design. The engine upgrades that were readily available during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Opelika AL transformed the mach mustang from the typical family car into a racing enthusiasts dream.
Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Opelika AL.Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 devices for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the model year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but numerous modifications were made at the conventional opening of the new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough distinction to call for classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Opelika AL are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version however, due to the extra equipment needed to fulfill new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first model. Efficiency was reduced and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Opelika AL were readily available in between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford developed 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

|Not So Good Mood
The Hardtimes, QuadCitiesDaily and Law and order are full of these same folks. Not only are they pictured often; some of them I think I knew as a child. Google, The Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia; it is crazy the likeness this family has to many in our area. The Johnny Knoxville interview is touching when he speaks of the tragedy the White family members have experienced. Johnny goes on to say that, they brought most of the bad things that happened upon themselves. Many of the clips that I watched and the documentary on Showtime reminded me of things that the drinkers of my family did. When I watched and saw the way they told the stories, I was aware that I had told stories that were very similar. To watch these women telling the stories; the way they told them made me flush. I realize that mine were not so different and that I had told them with pride many times. My point being should I really share the uglyness? Do people really care?

Compact objects (CO) are the endpoint of stellar evolution, more precisely, compact stars are equilibrium configurations where the pressure acting against gravity is due to the electron (white dwarfs) or neutron (neutron stars, NS) degeneracy pressure. When this pressure is not enough to counteract gravity, the dying star collapses to a black hole (BH). COs are described by their internal structure and their gravitational field. NS consist in equilibrium configurations of self-gravitating fluids. Instead BHs don't have an internal structure, they are described on purely geometrical grounds, i.e. solely by their gravitational field. From this point of view, they are "GR's elementary particles". BH are by definition the most compact objects, with a compactness C = M/R = 0.5 (in units where G=c=1 and for static BH), M being the mass and R the (Schwarzschild) radius. Supermassive BH have masses of the order of 106 Msun and are believed to reside at center of galaxies. The supermassive BH candidate Sagitarius A* in the center of the Milky Way is the closest. Understanding the motion of surrounding stars is very important and their observation has led to the conclusion that the central object in the Milky Way has indeed the characteristic of a BH. The spin parameter of these BHs is estimated using spectroscopy methods, e.g. by fitting the deformation of the iron line spectrum emitted by the accretion disk and red-shifted due to the space-time geometry. While first measurements pointed to almost extremal BH, there are AGN candidates with slower rotational parameter. On another hand, astrophysical BH are much less massive, with mass ~ Msun. They are not directly observed but their presence is deduced inside binary system by studying the motion of the companion. NS are the second most compact objects, with typical compactness around C ~ 0.25-0.35. The typical mass is of the order of 1.5-2.5 Msun and the radius is ~7.5-14 km, depending on the EOS. The TOV equation describing them extends to the rotating case, and leads to a system of coupled PDEs, which can be solved numerically. In the case of slow rotation, a perturbative treatment has been introduced by Hartle and consists in expanding the model in terms of the rotational frequency (see the paper here). Most of observed NS are in a regime that is well described by the slow rotation approximation. As the most compact objects in nature, NS and BH are ideal laboratories to test fundamental interactions both on theoretical and observational aspects. Linear perturbations around static BHs have been described by the famous work of Zerilli, and Regge and Wheeler. The formal solutions to these equations are available in terms of series of congruent hyper-geometric functions and Coulomb's wave functions. The method for treating perturbations of the Kerr BH is based on the Newman-Penrose formalism. The equation describing such perturbations is the celebrated Teukolsky equation, that also admits formal series solution. The mode spectrum of BH is given by the QNM spectrum, which consists in "normal" modes with damping; for NS it also consists in QNMs, since gravity is taking away energy in the form of gravitational wave. It must be stressed that in the case of NS the spectrum is somehow richer since the system now consists in a fluid, gravity and coupling between both. QNMs are similar to harmonic oscillators with friction, and are characterized by a frequency and a damping time.
Let us finally stress that the physics of NS have drawn a lot of attention recently from the discovery of invariant relations between Love numbers, the momentum of inertia and the quadrupole of slowly rotating NS. It was found in 2010 by Lau, Leung and Lin that the frequency of the f-mode oscillation, the mass and the moment of inertia are related by relations that do not depend on the NS equation of state (see also here). In 2013, the Science magazine published an article by Yagi and Yunes investigating the slow rotation approximation for NS in GR. They found that universal relations connecting the tidal Love number with the momentum of inertia and the rotation induced quadrupole hold. They further showed that it was in principle possible to distinguish GR from at least one particular AMG model assuming two independent measurements of the moment of inertia and of the Love number. The relations have been extended using an effective position dependent Love number. Their robustness have then been debated for the cases where magnetic field is present and for the case of fast rotation. I found with collaborators that the case of fast rotation still admits invariant relations, and further displays a new type of universality, involving the radius of the pulsar. This further opens the door on indirect radius measurements. The universal relations have also been investigated for some alternative models of gravity and have been shown to hold, but indistinguishable from those predicted by GR, in the fraction of the parameter space already constrained by observations. While for rotating NS, the exterior space-time is not known analytically, BH enjoy a no hair theorem; all rotational multipoles are related to each other and the unique (uncharged) solution is the Kerr black hole. One of the consequence of the universal relations and of following work is that NS in fact satisfy an approximate 'few hair' relation. This gives even more credit to the idea of using a slow rotation expansion of higher order, keeping the first few hairs only.

The weather steadily improved through the week. We're playing catch up at both the allotment and in the garden and it's made of what is a busy time of year even more hectic. On the allotment it hasn't meant that we haven't stopped for coffee breaks to sit down have a drink and watch the wildlife.
We can usually guarantee a visit from a robin, blackbird, blue tit or goldfinch during our coffee breaks but on Saturday we had a much rarer visitor.
In fact I think it's the first time we've spotted a squirrel on the plot. Was it lost or did it have ulterior motives? As for what we got done on the plot during the week it's mostly covered in the video below.
