The weekend like so rocked. I went on a like 45 miles running ting with my new Staff Association Hood - rest of da rambling hood reckon it was only 9 miles but on kAt0 Clock it was well more than that. I and I kept running from one human to the other to keep em all in da line. That Java was dawdling along and telling me to behave meself and have some decorum.
She's just jealous cos I was off lead for nearly all the miles, and thats cos I is well hard, doing protectin and security innit, until four dogs appeared from the other direction and I kept close to hippy in case he wandered off. I slept for a whole TWO hours when I got back - Java's still asleep now...........
Anyway, humans have got flu, and secondary bronchitis, with big anti-biotic capsule treats that they don't fling around or bury, just swallow, grumble and lie in their baskets doing more grumbling, sweating and throwing soggy tissue treats on the floor, which I am collecting up for later consumption. Rather like the taste of sweat too, but humans just diss me innit.
Humans are also fretting after finding a robins nest with five eggs in a hanging basket in the out-house, apparently some well intentioned but clumsy hoodlum might find the fledglings and mash em with kindness. Dunno who that could be. Elaborate plans for excluding canines from out-house are being formulated.

Anyone can contribute to The Roar and have their work featured alongside some of Australia's most prominent sports journalists.
Last weekend showed that the Wallabies can indeed win games of rugby and the Pumas can indeed challenge the All Blacks, albeit for a period not quite equalling eighty minutes.
This weekend is the one where the two teams can mark themselves off against each other.
For the Wallabies, a win would confirm that last weekend wasn't a dream, and things really aren't too bad as long you're not playing the best team in the world every weekend. For Argentina, a win would confirm common thoughts that they're now capable of winning away from home.
Therefore, it seems right this week to focus on the two teams fighting it out for second in The Rugby Championship.
The Big Question: What is our predicted effect of last weekend's matches likely to have on the momentum and morale of Australia and Argentina? (from Digger – who borrowed Roarer Chinmay Hejmadi's question from the weekend)
Nobes: "New rule: Games may only last 50 minutes until Los Pumas get fit enough so they can play at 200km/h for 80 minutes and thus have a chance to win a game over the men in black.
"The past game will definitely have an impact on the team morale: they played their heart out and lost by 30 points, so it is possible that they might feel not only slightly discouraged but also very tired.
"There is extra burden on the team caused by injuries. It is very difficult to replace anybody because of the travel distance. Such are the cases of Juan Martin Hernandez and lock Guido Petti. Pumas have already lost Tomas Lavanini in Salta in that position.
"Now, they must choose between Under-20s Marcos Kremer or switch flanker Ortega Desio to lock, but neither of these possibilities seem to be a rewarding solution when you have a massive job against the Wallabies in Perth.
"Had the men in gold lost it would have been a different story, but instead they won and they may feel that they are on the way to a healthy recovery.
"The Wallabies will make the necessary adjustments to win the game, after watching what Los Pumas have done against the All Blacks. Plus, the element of surprise that they showed against the men in black is no longer there."
Harry: "What a difference a week (and a win) makes for Michael and Michael.
"The Wallabies coach did not attack referees, World Rugby, or any other outside party. He was sober and CEO-like, talking about 'issues to iron out' before playing the attack-minded Pumas. He was sounding like Shag Hansen after a win, using words like 'polish' and 'tidy up' and 'improved, but not top level'.
"He will have enjoyed some of the more intricate 'swinging gate' backline moves the Wallabies ran, but notes his side 'didn't shift the ball into space and take it' enough, and 'there was a little bit of indecision'. Where was this coach during the first five Tests of 2016?
"Michael the flanker talked about how much more fun it is to be sore on Monday without 'feeling sorry for yourself'. I think the Wallabies will overreact to the win a bit, maybe even introducing more debutantes, and then find the Pumas a real handful at the coalface, with the offload game putting real pressure on David Pocock and Will Genia to coordinate.
"But still, I think the Wallabies are a confidence team with a confidence coach, and this, along with the re-blossoming of the Genia-Quade Cooper axis, should see the number three team see off the exhausted Pumas.
"Daniel Hourcade looked absolutely gutted at the end of the 22-57 wallop in Hamilton. His players had just played near their absolute red-line best for 50:00, only to see a scoreboard with a 50 on the other side.
"Intensity, a direct approach, hard defence, and pinpoint kicking; the recipe to trouble the All Blacks. But not enough horses. If you play a galloping rugby against the big black stampede, you better have plenty of stallions watered with buckets of oats. I think the first half in Hamilton was the apex of Puma fortunes."
Digger: Absolutely I think the past weekend's results will have an effect.
"For Argentina, my question mark has always been around consistency of performance. Previous seasons have suggested much promise only to see it fall away – often against the Wallabies, coincidently – in previous seasons of the Rugby Championship and in last year's semi in the World Cup; a match which suggested plenty from the Pumas but were unable to deliver.
"Have they perhaps turned the corner? Maybe, certainly if they produce the same quality of match play against New Zealand for a longer period then absolutely but I wonder how much time and energy went into the All Black match only to end up with a disappointing result. It's a mental battle for the Pumas and I am unconvinced they can overcome this obstacle.
"Debate still surrounds exactly the quality of the Wallaby performance over South Africa for a variety reasons however there is no doubt that they improved across several areas and will look to continue with incremental gains against Argentina. The win was a much needed boost to the confidence and will help the squad enjoy their Rugby again.
"With this match being the last in Australia for this season I imagine the motivation will be high and they have also had the benefit of seeing what Argentina can produce and will, presumably, prepare accordingly.
"They certainly cannot afford to relax too much as Argentina do have the ability to get on the outside with quick hands and by keeping the ball alive. It will be interesting to see if the Wallaby defence has improved sufficiently to counter this threat, as South Africa were unable to provide an accurate gauge."
Brett: I think both performances last week will give the respective sides plenty of confidence, and should even provide a decent amount of momentum.
I expect that Argentina will have the confidence to try and grind the Wallabies down with a forwards battle, and if they can turn it into a scrummaging battle, even better. The more they can draw the Wallabies in, the better their chances of extending the contest further. And if it becomes a grind, then it can become a points-fest; the Pumas will know the Wallabies are a side who will give away stupid penalties.
The Wallabies will know that they can't start the game with their hands in their pockets behind an attacking ruck like they did last week, otherwise they'll be inviting the Pumas to out-muscle them at the breakdown all night. And they should use the confidence and momentum they will have gained from their attack, because even for the mistake here and there, they did create a lot of opportunities to score tries.
Morale-wise, I'd think both teams will come into this game felling pretty damn good about themselves which in turn should drive them to really want to play for each other on Saturday night. It all points to a really entertaining game, actually.
Week 3: Brett, Digger, and Nobes 2; Harry, and The Crowd 1
Nobes: "In my opinion the Wallabies have a 60 per cent chance of winning – and because my heart is not for sale – I give 40 per cent chance for the Pumas. The last weekend victory over the Boks increases the chances of the men in gold.
"The Boks will play not to lose by a big margin – especially after seeing what the Pumas went through. They will play with that in mind and they will not take many risks."
Brett: I have a real concern for the 'Boks in Christchurch. A huge concern. They'll know they don't have the game to challenge New Zealand, but I think playing not to lose would only see them thumped even further. So they might as well go out there and play with freedom. And pray a lot.
The Wallabies should be too strong for Argentina, otherwise my fears will be for The Roar's servers. There was a lot to like about last week's win in Brisbane but it was far from perfect, whereas the Pumas had to play the game of their lives just to be competitive for 50 minutes. The contest will last longer in Perth, but the Wallabies – for God's sake – should be too good.
Diggercane: "It is said that South Africa always raise to the challenge of playing the All Blacks and no doubt New Zealand will be cautious against their old foe. However, there has been little to suggest that this current Springbok side will indeed trouble this All Black side much at all.
"It would be a remarkable turnaround if South Africa can be competitive for long periods of the match, let alone 80 minutes. I cannot see anything but a comfortable All Black victory.
"I feel the Wallabies will get home over the Pumas this weekend, most of my reasoning already laid out with the Big Question. When you add in a little less recent travel and a relatively healthier squad, I am picking the Wallabies to finish their domestic season on a high note."
Harry: "Both home teams comfortably this week.
"Elton Jantjies isn't going to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand, ever. The Rugby Championship is turning into a home-team competition, and for the All Blacks, everywhere is home."
The Summary
The Crowd has spoken…
Another record response for the Week 4 TRC games, with well over 560 responses received; thanks once again to everyone who had their say. Final result were:
93.2% New Zealand
51.2% Australia
The Wallabies tip is the closest for The Rugby Championship panel yet. From more than 560 responses, the Wallabies and Pumas were split by just 14 votes!
Should be a ripper, enjoy your weekend of rugby.

Published in the San Francisco Chronicle:
On Labor Day, we do well to remember the historic gains fought for, sometimes at great sacrifice, by union activists. We also should remember that labor's efforts on behalf of the common good continue today. Perhaps you've noticed California public schools have been faring better. No longer are you reading headlines about thousands of teachers receiving pink slips because of lack of funding.
I have received emails from a number of members critical of the AFT's endorsement of Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party nomination for President. At the AFT Executive Council meeting, I, along with another Vice President who represents higher education, spoke and voted in opposition to the endorsement. The endorsement, which was overwhelming, came after interviews with Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley, two national phone-in town hall meetings, an online survey, and a poll of more than 1,000 AFT members from across the country. All declared candidates were invited, but these three were the only ones who agreed to be interviewed.
Scott Walker just won't quit.
The worker-hating, union-attacking governor of Wisconsin is now going after higher education and college professors.
The following Op-Ed by CFT President Joshua Pechthalt originaly ran int eh Sacramento Bee on June 11. You can read it below, as well as here.
As an educator, a parent, and someone who wants to see the next generation given every tool possible to succeed, I support the proposed expansion of child care programs. The earlier we prepare children for the classroom, the stronger their foundation for learning will be.
March 21, 2014
Good morning CFT members, guests and staff, I want to thank all of you for taking time to help make the CFT a strong, vibrant and progressive voice in the California labor movement. It is your activism and your commitment to our union that makes this organization such an important voice for social justice, for our members and for our students.
I want to acknowledge the leaders who work tirelessly on behalf of our locals and the statewide union: Jeff Freitas our Secretary Treasurer, Lacy Barnes our Senior Vice President, our council presidents Paula Phillips, Gary Ravani, Bob Samuels and Jim Mahler, the CFT Executive council and our outstanding staff.
It is my great honor to be your president and to represent you in this remarkable union.
This past year has been one of tremendous successes.
The following Op-Ed by CFT President Joshua Pechthalt originally ran in the Sacramento Bee on Feb. 25. You can read the Op-Ed below, as well as here
As a teacher of more than 20 years at an inner-city high school in Los Angeles, I saw the value of federal dollars sent to our local public schools through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. In fact, millions of America's poorest schoolchildren depend on the Title 1 funding that was established in the law as part of the landmark 1965 "War on Poverty" legislation.
In Los Angeles, Title 1 funding allowed us to buy paper, pens and pencils that, while taken for granted in many communities, were a luxury for children and parents living in poverty. It also allowed us to hire instructional aides and provide programs that gave thousands of students the help they needed to succeed in school and prepare for college.
Congress must now decide whether to reauthorize the act, and whether to continue with the high-stakes testing mandates adopted as part of President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind and President Barack Obama's Race to the Top.

The Body Beautiful: Erin Darcy
Background: A photographer born in Oklahoma but currently living in Galway, Ireland, with my husband and two children.
Has your perspective and point of view changed since becoming a mom? And if so, how? My point of view has always been in capturing the beauty in the everyday mundane. With motherhood, I like to add in "keeping it raw." There is so much power in the raw honesty, the beautiful reality of this sacred time. From sticky kitchen counters where memories and jam sponge cakes are made, to the delicate intricacies of stretch marks on my softer mama body.
What do you find most rewarding about motherhood? The most rewarding thing about motherhood is knowing that I'm doing everything right by myself and my children when I follow my instincts. Mothering my babies has transformed me into a woman I'm proud to be.
What do you find the most challenging or surprising? The most challenging thing about motherhood is not having my tribe in the flesh. I didn't truly realize how isolating and lonely some of these days can be.
How do you store/organize/display/showcase your photographs? I try to create yearbooks for each of my children every year. It's never enough though, is it? I'd like a full gallery wall of images.
Any recommendations for moms trying to capture those beautiful moments? Get in the picture, mama. Set up a tripod and remote, ask someone to take your picture with your kids. Even if you don't love the photo, your children and grandbabies will cherish them years to come. (And you will, too).
Any situation (good or bad) where you wish you had your camera? I wish I had pictures of my births. My first birth was in the hospital and they didn't allow even a photo of me holding my daughter for the first time. It still upsets me to think about. My second birth was a home birth, all caught on video on a tripod in the corner, but I do crave to have beautiful images of those transformative moments.
What makes you feel beautiful as a mother? I feel beautiful because I am. My body is incredible, powerful, fierce. I am beautiful because I was once a fresh newborn cradled in my mother's arms, every ounce of perfection and adoration. I am beautiful because I realized that innate perfection of myself when I cradled my fresh newborn daughter in my arms. And so the cycle continues on. I choose to honor this side of myself so that my daughter never loses sight of her own beauty.
What advice can you give other mothers who might not feel beautiful in their bodies? Dear mama, begin a conversation with your body. One of love and friendship. Think of the people in your life that you love — would you ever judge them as harshly? Would you ever tell them ugly things about how they looked? Would you love them any less? No. A thousand times no, so please, dear woman, do not save this harshness for yourself. It is unfair to all that love you, to those that call you 'momma' and, most of all, it's unfair to you. So begin right now, today. With love, gentleness, forgiveness. Honor the divine being that is you. The space you take up on this earth is a thing of intense beauty.
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything and why? I don't think I would have done anything differently at all. I have always followed my heart. I believe in big dreams. I am living mine. It's humble and sweet, what more could I ask for? (OK, maybe for plane tickets to be cheaper so I could see my parents and brothers more often.)

With 1,781 fires and 839,343 acres already burned since mid-June, the state of California may be headed for the worst fire season in its history. In response to a nationwide call for assistance, a multi-agency team is sending a crew of wildland firefighters from Alabama for a western fire detail. The crew consists of nine USDA Forest Service firefighters, eleven Alabama Forestry Commission firefighters, one from the National Park Service in Alabama, and one from the Pelham Fire Department. Two of the AFC employees will be used as crew leaders for two of the other crews going out.
The firefighters will check-in at the Forest Service headquarters at 2946 Chestnut Street in Montgomery at 2:00 pm today. They will be transported to Tampa, where they will group up with four other 20-person crews before catching the National Interagency Fire Center's (NIFC) plane headed west on Thursday.
Strong gusty winds, extremely low relative humidity, and high temperatures continue to create very dry conditions on the surface, resulting in critical fire weather conditions across the northern half of California.For more information, contact:

Fly Tying
A hobby that I've had about as long as writing letters is tying flies. You know, like fly fishing.
It's an enjoyable hobby and for a hobby primarily dominated by men (not many women tie flies). It's considered an art form by many fly fisherman. After all, a well-tied fly will last a long time and bring in many catches.
How fly tying works is pretty easy.
First, you pick out your fishing spot.
Second, you hunt around a bit, looking for what bugs are on the riverbank.
Third, you mimic what you see--you tie flies based on what's naturally occurring.
And it's a pretty trusty formula to follow for helping ensure you have a great catch for the day.
You can read book after book all about fly fishing. While there are good guidelines to follow that detail what fish like what flies, nothing beats matching what's actually out there around your fishing spot.
This is what makes fly tying so awesome. You are copying nature.
Now for me, I've never actually gone fly fishing. I love to tie those flies though.
Flies are made from a combination of thread, fur, feathers, chenile, hair---anything that you can wrap around the hook.
Pictured above is some dubbing. Dubbing is really soft hair--think the undercoat of an animal. It's super soft. You pull a little out and twist it back and forth between your thumb and forefinger until it wraps around the thread. Then, you wind the thread around the hook. That's how you make a soft body like many bugs have.
Below, you'll see I tied down a feather to the end of my fly. That makes the tail.
I cut off the excess, leaving what you see below.
I then attached a few deer hairs to the head and tied them in a way so they'd spike up, mimicking wings.
To finish a fly, you dab a little substance called 'fly head cement' to the head. This keeps the fly from unwinding. Many hardcore fisherman only use knotting.
There are some good old standards in the world of fly tying.
Below, you'll see a wooly bugger. A treasured favorite. Good for about any fish.
And below, a fire ant.
Check out the San Juan Worm below. He's super easy to make, but not one of my favorites.
This is one of my favorites. It's based off an emerger. I call it "Cole's Green Emerger."
Fly Tying is a great hobby for women. Women are much better at fine detail work, and our hands are smaller and more delicate. Many male fisherman struggle with tying their own flies because they break threads and struggle with working on such a small scale.
If you sell your flies, they can fetch up to $6 each so it's pretty profitable hobby too.
Plus, if a loved one is a fly fisherman, they'll appreciate the flies more than you know.

text: alleyyooper 46 Report post Posted November 14, 2015 Picked this MTD 5/24 up from a road side trash pile. the engine was a mess and parts missing but I figured it was steel and heavy to boot glad I had my ramps and a block and tackle in the truck, I could sell it for scrap. Contacted a friend who makes a good living working on small engines for people and doing other repair work. He didn't have any of the parts I needed to put the engine back together and said that since the company was now out of business parts would be expensive if I could find them for a Engine I was not sure about. I put it in a back corner for a couple of years. Then I decided I should do some thing with it or scrap it. Decided to put a new motor on it since every thing seemed to work as it should other than the engine. I bought a Harbor Freight Predator 212cc engine the non Hemi one. Note the stamped steel valve cover the tell tale it isn't a hemi. Decided to put it on my log splitter instead of the snow blower as I needed to do some major work on the splitters engine. I went back a month later and bought another Predator 212cc engine but this time got the Hemi version. Removed the old engine and matched the shaft size and height. Looks good mounted, did have to rework the chute crank to clear the valve cover on the Hemi, Note the cast alum valve cover a sure sign is a Hemi. Also installed new belts. Took the chute off so I could install an impeller close out kit I made. Also decided to put new tires on it. those little 6 inch rims are a devil to mount tires on. I was just about ready to go buy a mini tire changer when I had a brain storm and they slid on. Made a couple brackets to move the chute crank where I could use it with heavy gloves on and raise it higher up to be handier. Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capaldi got a great send off with this year's Dr Who Christmas Special. Hard to fault really, unless one is a pedant, outraged geek or nerd, or one of the ill-informed, snobbish, literary elite that writes reviews. I can forgive pedants, I understand geeks and nerds, but those who look down their noses at SF as inferior, can all go swivel.
Looking forward to seeing what Jodie Whittaker brings to the show, but she's not the 13th Doctor regardless of what reviewers say. Whittaker is the 14th Doctor: Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker, Davidson, the other Baker, McCoy, McGann, Hurt, Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker.
And if you say Hurt was the War Doctor, I will say that this Christmas Special put that one to rest, with the allusion to all of them being the War Doctor, because the Doctor is the one who goes and tends to wars. So, it still adds up to 14.

So Yesterday morning I went to see an orthopedist. My PCP referred me to him about 3 weeks ago, before the most recent blowup of cellulitis and calf pain, because of recurring left knee pain and visible swelling of the knee during my routine 3-month exam.
I can't say I appreciated the orthopedist's bed-side manner. One of the things he dictated into his notes was that the visit took over an hour of doctor time interspersed with waits for imaging, etc, over 50% of which was hands-on examination and discussing the diagnosis with the patient. If dictating his observations and sundry into his report in medical language, talking near me, but not really to me, constitutes "discussing", sure, I'll buy it. He also demonstrated to his MA how to tell the difference between cellulitis and hyperpigmentation due to chronic lymphedema by poking my left leg (which blanched when pressed, then reddened again as the blood reperfused the porous skin tissues) and my right leg (which remained red even when poked). I don't mind using me as a teaching example, but it would have been nice to be asked first.
Other than that, I think he showed a lot of skill. He dictated quickly a lot of findings from his exam into the report, including things I didn't notice him checking (like my gait when walking). There were some things he felt in the knee, including one this that was "positive" and something else which was "marginally positive", but I don't remember the terms he used to list those. He did not adequately tell me what those were or what they meant. I think next time I see him I'll ask if I can get a copy of the report, so I can read it with a medical dictionary/Wikipedia next to me. He did express a concern about the chronic lymphedema in my legs, and suggested that my PCP look into treating it more aggressively and exploring venous insufficiency.
He did get 4 X-Rays of my knees (one of both together, three of just the left, in 3 different angles (front, side, "sunrise"). He also is scheduling an MRI of my left knee and left calf to get a better handle on what might be going on in the knee and calf. The imaging showed that the left knee has some arthritis and also a mild bit of osteoporosis, which is unusual in men of my age.
When I was leaving, he was looking at the CT scans done last week on my calf, and he pulled me aside to show me the fluid pocket (I'll take his word it's there, I couldn't interpret the images well enough to see it), and to say he thought it likely a hematoma caused by a popped vein in my calf, which happens. The MRI will give more info.
I'm supposed to return to him after the MRI, but I currently don't have an MRI appointment. They need to pre-clear it with my insurer first. More info when that happens.
This morning I had an appointment with my PCP, as a follow-up to the ER follow-up appointment last Monday. He thinks my leg is looking much better, but just to be sure he prescribed another 10 days of oral antibiotics, with a refill available if I needed it. I told him about the orthopedist visit (he didn't have the report yet), and he reacted strongly to the osteoporosis indication. I am the wrong gender, wrong age, and wrong weight to get osteoporosis in my legs. He feels if it's really there, we need to find out the cause. He did clear me to walk to work again, if I could do it without to much pain.
I got a ride about half-way to work today, and the remainder of the walk took a lot out of me. One of my co-workers asked me if I was OK, and offered pain-killers if necessary (I said I already had Advil available, but thanks). Walking home is going to be more challenging.

What did the PCP say about the chronic lymphedema being treated more aggressively?
He said that compression is commonly done for that, and may be a good idea, but it's a bad idea when there is an active infection going on. You don't want to disturb the infectious agent.
Ah, that makes sense.

Project History
Project co-coordinators, Serena Chaudhry and Prasanna Poornachandra, birthed the concept of Re-Drawing Resistance at the International Society for Health and Human Rights (ISHHR) conference in 2005. Two years later, in the fall of 2007, the sixty-piece (60) exhibit was assembled and opened at The Queens Museum of Art (QMA) in New York City. After the QMA, the exhibit traveled across town to the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York (CUNY). Finally, the exhibit landed in Vermont where it adorned the Dudley H. Davis Center at the University of Vermont.
In 2009, Re-Drawing Resistance launched its second tour which opened again at the Queens Museum of Art. The exhibit then traveled to Boston College where the Women's Resource Center in collaboration with multiple student organizations, hosted an opening reception for the exhibit. The exhibit's final destination was Toronto, Canada where Women's Health in Women's Hands, a community health center, hosted the exhibit in collaboration with the University of Toronto School of Social Work. The reception included a DJ, spoken word and theatrical performance.
After one of the exhibit openings, a participant shared, "We hide so many feelings in our hearts and say nothing, but when I paint and show my fears and feelings through art, that is so effective….this exhibit shows that we are a group of women who had no source to channel our pain into but found something that allows us to protest for freedom and independence." This is the impact Re-Drawing Resistance has on women!

Pest control services and exterminators are a blessing to homeowners that have a pest problem at their house. Nearly every home has some type of pest lurking around but do you really need to call for professional help if you see one cockroach in the bathroom or a small colony of ants in your backyard? Not necessarily. So when should you call pest control anyway?
Here are some top signs you should look out for to know when you really need professional pest control service!
#1: When you're dealing with danger
If the pest that has infiltrated your premises is dangerous one way or another, it's best to leave its extermination to a professional. For example, if you have a wasp nest in your backyard, don't try DIY ways to destroy it (yes that includes the infamous way of putting the nest on fire with aerosols and flame!).This could be dangerous to your own health and it could be a threat to your property as well. In times of danger, call pest control to save the day.
#2: When the infestations refuse to stop
So you've successfully gotten rid of that last cockroach in your pantry but the next week you see another baby roach crawling around your kitchen – what do you do? Call for professional help! If your property is victim to recurrent pest infestations, you could be getting rid of the insects in the wrong way. An exterminator will help get rid of these pests for good.
#3: When you suspect a rodent
Rodents like rats and mice are a nuisance to get rid of in the house. When you suspect a rodent infestation, it's best to leave it to the professionals to get rid of the mousy situation. Remember, rodents tend to reproduce rapidly so act fast!
#4: When you don't want to use chemicals
Every commercial pest repellant has harmful chemicals in it. If you have pets or children at home, you don't want to bring those products to your home. The best way to avoid any danger to the health is by calling a professional pest control service for help.

Happy New Year Dianne!
I'm so sorry I'm late visiting. I am having all kinds of computer problems at the moment, and my brand new computer that is less than a week old is now gone. My friend Scott thinks it's the video card, but since it has a warranty, he took everything back with him. Of course, I was offline until we could figure out the problem. SEVEN hours later, and both of us are frustrated.ReplyDelete
Your new versus old planner is quite distinctive. I can see why it was so hard to give it up. Sort of like saying goodbye to a friend. That last page was fantastic.
I think it would be fun to see you make a Santa ornament each month or two in 2017. It would take all the pressure off Christmas.
Glad to read your husband is doing much better, I can feel the sigh of relief and know it's a burden off your shoulders, too.
Thanks for sharing these journals, and your journal pages, as well as your lovely little cups withus for T this Wednesday. Happy New Year, too. Just wish your cold was better, now that hubby is on the mend.
BTW, glad you got your tip-in. Please don't worry about anything else. I am so far behind on my gift giving this year, I feel bad.
i´m not familiar with the movie, but i love your drawings. your old planner is a treasure, and the new one will become, too!ReplyDelete
happy 2017 and may it be a healthy one for the whole Family!
Very sorry you've had some rough patches.ReplyDelete
Life has a way of ganging up on us sometimes.
Hope 2017 is much better for you all.
Your journals are so chock full of wonderful artwork Dianne! Always a pleasure to see.
Take care and Happy Day after Tuesday oxo

An article in today's Guardian tells us about a new guide for doctors in the North East of England, educating them about weird and wonderful examples of local dialect. And, as the article next to it in the paper tells us, people these days are living much longer than their parents' generations, perhaps we're going to face the need to "translate"dialect terms more and more in the future.
Why? Because, quite a few studies suggest that it's older people who cling onto the local and regional dialect forms of their areas, rather than the younger generation (who're moving towards multi-ethnic youth dialect/s, apparently). And as new doctors move into areas where regional dialects are still strong, they'll need all the help they can get to understand what the old codgers are chatting about (fast forward to me in 50 years, moaning about the price of Rich Tea biscuits and how Dizzee Rascal's fifteenth album is just waste, man...or something).

Sometimes when I'm shooting a person or a model, I have a particular mood in mind. When I photograph Laurie however, she brings the mood. Our shoots flow organically, trickling from one look to the other, but always with an air of feminine strength. For this shoot we collaborated purely by chance with fellow Toowoomba photographer, Theresa Hall. Sharing Theresa's breathtaking new studio space, we worked around and with each other to create a number of looks for Laurie's portfolio. I love that without competition, pretence or jealousy we could all work on the same project spontaneously. Laurie wears a vintage slip. Managed by Katz Models, Laurie is a powerhouse of ambition and talent. Not only is she a fantastic model but is an emerging visual artist. My first solo shoot with Laurie after meeting her at a photoplay session still remains one of my favourite to date. Our session doubled as food for her art portfolio, as she manipulated my photography with gold leaf. You can catch more of Laurie's artistic projects here. Laurie wears LENNI The Label. Laurie wears a vintage undergarment. Keep an eye on Laurie Oxenford and Theresa Hall. These ladies are so inspirational. For those interested in portfolio shoots, you can find all my contact details here. Styling, hair & makeup by Laurie Oxenford.

What Does A Specialist Do?
A specialist is a physician that concentrates on identifying and also dealing with conditions of the nervous system.

Usually, a neurologist will begin treating a patient just after that client is referred there by another medical professional, the majority of commonly a general practitioner or interior medication medical professional.
As soon as the person has actually been referred, the specialist will certainly take a total medical history and also execute an analysis of the patient's nervous system. This will include examining the client's reflexes, sychronisation, gait, sensory abilities, electric motor abilities, cranial nerves, as well as cognitive function. The medical history can aid doctors establish whether or not the patient's family members history includes any neurological conditions or conditions.

Along with treating a variety of medical problems, a specialist is also often asked to evaluate less competent people that get on life assistance. In this circumstance, the physician will certainly check out the individual for the purpose of validating whether or not the person's brain has actually stopped working.
Although some specialists work with all kinds of neurological disorders, there are others who concentrate on specific parts of the nervous system, along with those who concentrate on performing particular treatments. As an example, a professional neurophysiologist focuses on utilizing electrodiagnostic methods to identify specific neurological disorders.
An additional example of a specialty within the field is neurosurgery, which integrates the study of neurology with medical training. Neurosurgeons generally do surgical procedures to treat neurological problems after a general neurologist makes a diagnosis as well as determines that such surgery is essential.
Because of the wide variety of responsibilities that specialists have, these medical professionals generally spend parts of every day taking a look at brand-new individuals, meeting with referring medical professionals, and also seeing with other patients to act on their treatment and also examine their development. They likewise commonly function "on-call," indicating they can be called at any moment of the day or night to address emergency situation circumstances. Because of this, these physicians commonly function long, uneven hours. This is particularly true for medical professionals who have simply begun their professions.

Lady Larceny's Last Caper
Sweet Emily and the Missing Princess
A Bondage Double Feature directed by Jon Woods
In this prequel to "Lady Larceny's Return" (JW-25) the titular villainess (Molly Matthews) is confronted in her boudoir by the mysterious Dark Hood. The brooding hero intends to save his intimate enemy from her own potentionally dangerous plan, and uses his sonic somnambulizer to render her powerless. The masked crimebuster then binds and ballgags the latex-clad vixen (on-screen), stuffs her into a large bag and spirits her away to his secret lair.
Lady Larceny is stripped down to pantyhose, gloves and heels and kept ballgagged and tightly bound, her elbows roped together. The resourceful villainess breaks a vase and tries to cut herself loose, but she's caught and her captor hogties her to discourage any further escape attempts. The Dark Hood then explains to his luscious captive that in order to save her, he plans to make her his bondage slave! No longer will she be Lady Larceny -- he plans to transform her into slave Molly!
The leggy lawbreaker is trained to please her new master, wearing only black pantyhose, corset, very high heels and a velvet choker. Slave Molly is kept ballgagged, her arms strapped into a strict single-sleeve and a snug crotchrope knotted over her pantyhose. The busty brunette quickly learns her new identity as a submissive. As the former arch-villainess settles into her role as a bondage slave, we see her still ballgagged and bound in her single sleeve, her ankles crossed and long legs tied to a tall chair. The once-haughty queen of crime is now anxious to please her dark master and his friends.
In this retro-themed bondage tale, Emily Addison is just your average all- American lady who's happy to make her award-winning apple pie for the charity bake sale. She also happens to be the exact double of Princess Anne of Bonderavia. When a suspicious- looking member of the Bonderavian Secret Service breaks into Emily's house to try to enlist her aid, she smells a rat and refuses to help him. The evil intruder then ties up sweet Emily and ballgags her (all on-screen), strips off her skirt and exposes her breasts. He keeps her bound and helpless while he waits for dark so he can sneak her out.
Meanwhile in Bonderavia, evil forces have taken Princess Anne captive, and they keep her securely tied hand and foot and ballgagged in a secret hideout. They try to coerce the princess into giving up her throne, but the feisty royalty defies her kidnappers.
Sweet Emily is brought to the secret hideout, and the villains try to persuade the blonde beauty to impersonate her Bonderavian double. Like her royal doppelganger, Emily rebukes their offer, and is then ballgagged again and thoroughly roped to her chair (on-screen).
Princess Anne stands her ground, even though she's hogtied and ballgagged. The villains then tie the busty monarch into a strict strappado, and she's ballgagged and tormented for her insubordination and insolence.
When their efforts to persuade the princess prove to be futile, the villains turn their attention to Sweet Emily. Can anyone save our dual blonde heroines? Or will these dastardly fiends succeed in their plot to overthrow Bonderavia?

I recently published a Kindle eBook explaining how to format books for Createspace and Lulu using Microsoft Word. It's available now from Amazon at a special launch price 99c or 77p. The price will rise soon to $2.99 /£2.06, so if you were thinking of taking advantage of the special offer, do so soon. Alternatively, you could enter for a chance to win a free copy over at Librarything, where there is a member giveaway for the book. There's some competition for the prizes, though.
Naturally, you could hardly expect to take such a book seriously unless it was also available in print… through Createspace. That's coming soon. I had started work on this but had to postpone while I deliver a heavy workload of book-formatting commissions. I can't think of a more appropriate reason for the delay. One point to make, though. I know for a fact that you can deliver great-looking books through Createspace using nothing other than Word to prepare your manuscript (or Open Office, for that matter, though I've not done so myself). Software how-to books are another matter. I need crisper images than Word can currently deliver reliably, so I've got my trusty copy of Adobe Acrobat at the ready.

Working in ink and paint, I am drawn to the mysterious and ideas relating to "the Uncanny". I have an interests in fiction, the supernatural and dark humour. I approach drawings, paintings and stories with a loose narrative in mind, aiming to create images with an overall visceral quality.
I studied painting at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, Scotland graduating in 2011. I went on to study at the Royal Drawing School in London and Cambridge School of Art, where I recently completed an MA in Children's Picture Book Illustration. I currently live and work in Berlin.

MUST SEE=> Politically Correct UNH Students Get Punked by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
Fans of the old Late Night With Conan O'Brien will remember Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. Turns out he has he own web series now, and it's just as hilarious as his sketches on Conan's show.
In this episode, Triumph takes a trip to University of New Hampshire to have a focus group sit'n'chat with several students, with topics surrounding modern "social justice", politically correct terminology. He tries to come up with non offensive ways to hump legs, gets some insight on what certain people of certain types prefer to be called, and he even gives the students offensive name tags! The skit enters it's climax when a flamboyantly gay, large black male walks into the room and starts mowing down on candy bars. The guy leaves and Triumph tries to get the students to describe him to a police sketch artist! The students have to try to describe our flamboyant friend without sounding offensive.
It's so perfect….. FOR ME TO POOP ON!

text: After Whistler we headed for Vancouver Island to one of the Northern Gulf Islands, Cortes. Cortes is part of the archipelago known as the Discovery Islands, and lies on the far side of Quadra Island from Campbell River. Our friends Colin and Desta have lived in this remote paradise for the past decade, and we had been looking forward to exploring it with them for just as long.

His House Christian Fellowship is a campus ministry and here at Central Michigan University is pretty well known.
My freshman year I attended for the first time (because it was recommended to me by an alumi from my hometown). I was immersed with community. I could tell this place was unique.
Last year I applied to be a Women's Life Group Leader, and my third year at CMU I got to put that into play. Leading with my dear friend, Anna I was beyond excited.
Out of the 8 women's life groups that meet throughout the week, ours was the only one that met on Tuesday – and that brought additional challenges to overcome.
Growing in faith with fellow sisters and daughters of the King has been so humbling and glorifying.
I was asked by a member of the His House church staff to lead a Spring Break mission trip. The LORD was calling me to lead, so I did.
New York City, NY. Working with New York City Relief doing
I was stretched, pushed and shoved in so many ways that allowed me to grow in ways I didn't anticipate.
I'd love to share more about this trip over a cup of joe sometime, but to sum it up I will share a quote from a participant of the trip, about the trip, shared while we were still in the midst of the madness:
"If we were not broken pieces, we would not be able to leave as a beautiful mosaic."
So true, my friend. So true.
these people I met while in these various leadership roles within the church. I am so thankful for the ways in which they continue to mold me into a better person. Challenge me, encourage me, laugh with me, cry with me, eat meals with me, and so so much more.
THANK YOU ALL for making His House feel like HOME.
About Leadership I learned that:
1 – it's not always what you might want/expect it to be. It'll be better. Maybe not right now, but in the long run.
2 – the power of physical presence is immeasurable.
3 – not knowing what you're doing 100% and being able to admit that is so much more honorable and wise than simply, faking it til you make it
4 – being able to cultivate an environment that is going to foster the type of relationships people say will last a lifetime, is truly an incredible experience.
5 – lead with love. always.

SCHICK Magazine is a fashion, beauty and lifestyle publication for the African woman. The magazine is for the smart, stylish and successful African woman (or man) of today, who wants to look and feel good regardless of life's inevitable demands. October 2016 saw SCHICK Magazine partner with Lagos Fashion and Design Week to produce their first ever, one-of-a-kind Fashion Week 'Bible' featuring all of this year's fashion, from on-trend pieces to exclusive interviews from designers about their S/S17 collection. The SCHICK x LFDW Special Edition was distributed throughout the 4-day event with complimentary beauty products provided by Zaron Cosmetics.
In November 2016, at Guaranty Trust Bank's Fashion Weekend, British GQ's Editor-in-Chief, Dylan Jones was asked 'Is print media dead?' Speaking at his masterclass 'The global trends shaping fashion and style' Dylan opposed this view and mentioned SCHICK Magazine (amongst a select few publications) giving credibility to SCHICK's introduction to the Nigerian market. March 2017 saw the launch of SCHICK Magazine's debut cover issue with Award-winning actress Rita Dominic, followed by an intimate event in partnership with upscale champagne brand Veuve Clicquot for 100 guests at a private location in Lagos, Nigeria. The event welcomed an array of celebrities, industry experts and more. Veuve Clicquot recently dubbed SCHICK as the "new hit magazine" to read with industry insiders, veterans and designers praising its quality. "No doubt the best fashion magazine to come out of Nigeria" by Folake Coker of Tiffany Amber, Accessories Designer Zainab Ashadu of Zashadu says, "It's great quality in printing and content!" With BBC Africa's Didi Akinyelure echoing the same notion with, "There's nothing like it of the same quality in Nigeria." In May 2018, SCHICK Magazine was awarded the "Fashion Magazine of the Year" award at Fashion Finest Africa. SCHICK Magazine is available in select stores and newsstands across the country and can also be purchased on our website.
SCHICK Magazine is the brainchild of Simi Esiri, an Intellectual Property Lawyer turned Publisher and Editor-in-Chief. Simi started her career in Fashion over 10 years ago, whilst in University through her fashion and style blog – RubysView.com. Ruby's View was famously liked on Twitter by La La Anthony and Kim Kardashian West's long-time stylist Monica Rose. Simi went on to style celebrities such as Rihanna and Alexandra Burke to name a few. She has taken a number of courses in Fashion PR and Fashion Buying. With her previous role as Deputy Editor of Complete Fashion Magazine, Simi broadened and harnessed her skills in Fashion Journalism. Having garnered a wide breadth of experience within the fashion industry, combined with an appreciation for luxury and affordability, SCHICK Magazine was born.

It rained Saturday. It rained hard. Roads flooded. I'm sure that more than a few of the 250 or so people who gathered at Wölffer Estate to celebrate the winery's 30th anniversary expected that the event would be moved inside. Or at least under a tent.
But no. The Wölffer team didn't give up and was rewarded with what was nothing short of a perfect evening. We were outside the entire evening, in grass that should have been soggy, above soil that should have been like a wet sponge. (more…)

All the advance options available make buying a laptop pretty difficult. But, the plethora of laptops available is actually a plus for you, as long as you do your research. The information shared here will help you pay attention to the basic things that everyone needs to look at before buying a laptop.
Look for good laptop deals on home shopping networks. You can purchase one with one payment or pay for one with an installment plan, and they don't check your credit rating. Just for about a hundred a month you can probably get yourself a good laptop that you've been wanting.
Prior to shopping, set a firm budget. Your needs may dictate what kind of budget you will set. Do you prefer PCs or Macs? Macs offer the latest in graphics technology making them perfect for those who work in a graphics rich environment.
Look at online reviews prior to buying a laptop. New laptops always look great and seem like great deals, but you might see that later you would've wished that you knew more about them. That's why you should look at what other owners have to say about it.
Read online reviews before purchasing a laptop. New laptops always look great and seem like great deals, but you might see that later you would've wished that you knew more about them. That is why you need to see what real buyers are saying.
Always look for coupons online before purchasing a laptop. Search before you confirm your purchase. This simple search can save you money on the price of the laptop or on the shipping charges.
Never think that just because a laptop costs more it must be worth it. Paying more isn't always better for you. Status and brand name often contribute to a higher price. Be sure that you're buying for specifications a laptop has and not its name.
Do not think that a more expensive laptop is a better laptop. In some cases, you may be getting better quality, but other times, probably not. Status and brand name often contribute to a higher price. Be sure that you're buying for specifications a laptop has and not its name.
Get a good system for sound set up on the laptop you have. Many laptops do not have the same sound capabilities of desktops. Thus, you will find that sound playback for videos and movies is very poor. Before buying a laptop, check the sound.
Consider what you need your laptop for. This will give you a good ballpark figure on what is a good price to pay. If you're basically a web surfer, then a super pricy laptop with uber-powerful chipset is not necessary at all. Consider what you need the machine for to determine how much machine you need.
Make sure to check the battery life when buying a laptop. Even if you will be mainly using it at home, constant recharging is annoying. Look for at least 4 hours of battery life.
The computer is sure to have a better, longer life if you prevent overheating. Many laptop crashes are caused by overheating. A good laptop cooling device pad can help you make sure your laptop stays alive for a much longer time.
When you are looking at laptops, do keep in the mind the ones that are slightly more than what you originally wanted to spend. Technology changes rapidly, and lower-end models may quickly become obsolete. A small adjustment in specs can extend a laptop's lifespan for multiple years.
When purchasing a laptop, consider spending just a bit more than you originally considered. Advances in technology move swiftly, so you will want to get the most up to date computer that you can. Just a slight spec bump could mean the difference between a laptop that lasts a year and a laptop that'll keep you happy for two or more years.
Tablet Computer
Make sure there are several USB ports on the laptop. Many people forget to check this feature. You may need to use a couple USB ports simultaneously. Most people won't need more than four USB ports.
Get a tablet computer if you will be using it for entertainment. One good aspect of a tablet computer is the use of apps; this keeps your important programs at the tip of your fingers. A lot of tablets can also be used with a wireless keyboard, and that means they can be used to write out emails or to take notes.
Don't let the netbook concept confuse you. They're not just smaller laptops. You'll have limited options with a netbook such as the ability to get online and check your email, but that's it compared to laptops. Do not buy a netbook when you need a laptop.
Screens that are large may seem impressive, but they won't be terribly convenient if you want your laptop to be versatile. When you choose a screen above 17 inches, you will usually find it is attached to a burdensome laptop weighing seven pounds or more. This is tough to carry around. They also use more battery power.
A large screen is good to look at and heavy to carry around. A screen that's 17″ or larger is generally connected to laptops weighing seven pounds or more. This might get unwieldy if it is being moved around a lot. Additionally, larger screens use more power.
Think about purchasing a laptop from a shop offering extended warranty. Having to replace your laptop can be a very costly proposition. If you can afford to spend a few dollars for extra coverage, it might save you money down the line.
Do not just buy a laptop based on a brand. While major brands offer high-grade products, the costs may be equally as high. Knowing about the hardware used in their laptops can help you shop for similar architecture in less expensive models. Many times you can get a better price by purchasing a computer from a lesser known company.
To get to favorite programs quickly, make sure to pin shortcuts to your Start menu. Once you hit the correct shortcut, use the mouse to right-click there and then select the option that pins it to your Start menu. Once you do this, you'll have a Start menu icon for each program you want instead of having to look for them in "All Programs".
Keep a watch on your laptop's memory. You may need to delete programs you don't use in order to free up some space. Your computer can run faster when you have more memory open.
Take a look at all of the ports on the laptop before you purchase it. You will need a variety of ports for purposes such as charging your cell phone, using a printer or other devices. Decide how many ports you need before you purchase your next laptop.
Your laptop should have a good graphics chip. Integrated graphic chips are sufficient for most functions on a laptop. If you want to stream videos and play games, a good dedicated graphics chip will help. It's important to note that laptops specifically made for gaming often have some of the best chips inside of them.
Once you've purchased your laptop, try to test as much as you can within the first month. You've usually got a month long return policy for that laptop you just bought. Even if you are not planning certain activities soon, try them out to make sure your computer can handle them. This is the time to ensure that things function the way you wanted them to.
To make it easier to find your usual programs, there is a pin feature that lets you attach them to your Start menu. After you see the shortcut you want, right click the mouse and hit the option that lets you pin to the Start menu. The program will be in your Start menu now.
See what prices look like online before you purchase any new laptop. There are numerous websites available to help you compare prices once you know what model you want. Be careful with comparisons of the same features and models to make sure they're valid.
Customizing your laptop may be a very cost-effective approach that gets you exactly what you want. It is quite easy to purchase a laptop without considering that your needs may change. However, the price may not be so appealing. Laptops that are customized may cost you less than a system that's pre-built, and this means you don't have to pay for things you don't need.
Is your laptop going to be used just for web surfing and checking email? Consider a Chromebook. The laptop does not have much storage or a big operating system. However they provide a robust internet experience, with more than enough speed and performance. They're also not very expensive. Chromebooks start at around $300.
Think about getting a laptop that has a lot of features for security purposes if you'll be using it for things like work or banking. There are laptops with security cable slots, privacy coatings and even built-in security software. No feature is foolproof, though, so take the steps you need to keep your information safe, as well.
Turn off your laptop when it is not in use. Laptops easily become overheated, especially on soft surfaces. Protect your laptop by shutting it off regularly.
When buying a laptop, keep in mind that different brands have different reputations. Check out what people are saying about Sony versus what they say about Asus, Acer, Apple or Toshiba. Most popular brands have similar rating but it can be good to know which ones have persistent problems.
Find out what kinds of programs are already going to be on the laptop. A word processing option and a spreadsheet program are often necessities. Check if the software is a partial, demonstration, or full version. Make sure full versions of the software you need is included or you'll have to buy the software separately.
Laptops with a smaller amount of storage space may cost less. Many people do not need a large hard drive. Choose something smaller for cheaper. You could use the saved cash for processing that's better.
After you winnow your choices down, look at any issues online. Figure out what the model number of your computer will be and then search for words like not working or problems. You might find that monitor deteriorates quickly or that its power cord must be constantly tweaked to prevent it from falling out.
Think twice before purchasing an extended warranty with your laptop. This sort of warranty guarantees big profits to the seller, but it may not benefit you much. Usually, if you have an issue with the laptop, it is within the regular warranty period. If you do need a long warranty, purchase one from an online company that offers them as part of their standard packages.
Many people look for portability as a main feature when choosing to buy a laptop. When you get portability, you may be losing out on other aspects. For example, a smaller laptop may not have many ports, internal optical drivers or a very powerful hard drive. If you want a highly portable laptop, double-check to ensure that you don't overlook a missing feature that may turn out to be important.
The laptop should be light and easy to carry. Be sure the mouse and keyboard are comfortable and easy for you to use. If you have just used desktop machines before now, it is important to learn the major differences between them both. Don't let the appearance concern you.
When you are going through an airport, keep a close eye on your laptop. Follow it through the entire screening and bag pickup process. A lot of bags for laptops are similar, and there are a lot of thieves out there that may want to snag the computer up so they don't have to buy one. Do not take your eyes off it until you pick it up at the end of the conveyor belt.
While you want to pay attention to storage numbers and processing power, you should check out the number of available ports as well. This is particularly necessary if you have older laptop accessories. An older printer, for example, needs a serial port to function properly. Make sure you do some research before making a purchase.
Remember this advice as you seek out your new laptop. Think about the qualities you seek in good laptops and compare your list with what's available. It is important to get the right laptop for your needs.
Look at all the operating systems available on laptops that you are interested in. Macs are very different than laptops that use other operating systems. Additionally, a few laptops can run on Linux, and other less-common operating systems, if you do not fancy Mac or PC, these might be for you.

For those who are keeping track, yes, this is my second (within months) Charlie Simmer autograph return. I accidentally sent Charlie a second TTM after I got my Canadian Tire set of hockey cards.
I don't think there is much point in rehashing how little I know about Charlie Simmer. You can just see the previous post here.
