A TaxCaddy user
TaxCaddy is very easy to use. I have been with my tax guy for over 30 years. A couple of years ago he moved to an online process that made me feel like I was doing my own taxes. That's what I pay him for. I don't want to do it. At the time I considered finding a new accountant. Since I had been with him for decades, I gave him another shot. Then came TaxCaddy and his long term client was saved.

I've been reading The Maternal is Political and it's filling my head with all kinds of ideas. It's basically about how being a mother both informs and heightens one's political awareness. And the potential power of mothers as a group. I think there's been a disconnect between mothers and feminism since the 60s—or maybe always—when it seemed that the feminists were saying that motherhood was the height of enslavement. And in a way it is. But that enslavement can politicize a woman by making her chafe under its constrictions and get mad enough to fight her way out and for other "slaves."
Any service job has the potential to enslave the person who's doing the serving. And motherhood is the quintessential serving job. Why else does the motherhood job description include chauffeuring, cooking, cleaning, money management, activity scheduling, child care, nursing, laundering, home renovation, grocery shopping, menu planning and on and on ad nauseum? (Is there an end to this list?) And I'm not just talking about SAHMs (Stay At Home Mothers); even mothers who work for wages are expected to fulfill all these roles. It goes with the territory.
Anyone who thinks that SAHMs have it easy—they don't have to punch a time clock, answer to a boss, get along with other employees, commute, do menial work for little pay—has never been a mother of any kind, let alone a SAHM. Children are the ultimate taskmasters and the most challenging people in the world to get along with. You have to be on the job 24/7, most of the work is menial and the pay is not just negligible, it's non-existent. None of this is news to a mother. That other people—even sometimes fathers—don't seem to know this about motherhood is one indication that its concerns need to be politicized. Consciousnesses need to be raised, action needs to be taken. Mothers deserve all the help they can get. Not because they are enslaved—most mothers don't describe themselves as such—but because of what makes them mothers: their children.
It's not just that mothers care about their children; it's that they care more than others do. I'm not denigrating fathers or non-parents, but there's something different about being a mother. The adage that a mother would save her child if she had to choose between saving her husband and her child is, for the most part, a true one. Fathers would, more often than not, save their spouses first. Of course, I'm generalizing here, but the evidence speaks for itself: mothers have different priorities. Society has a vested interest in protecting and nurturing its children, but mothers are doing it, every single hour of every single day. Instead of penalizing women because they have children, they should be supported, in any way possible, to make it easier for them to raise our future generations.
One thing that feminism has achieved has been a universalizing of the importance of parenthood. Fathers have benefited from the privileges that women have been awarded. Time off for new parenthood is now available to both sexes. (Even though, in most instances, it is not paid time off—America's record in this area is abysmal compared to other countries.) Ideally, both sexes would always benefit from things like quality and affordable day care, decent pay, flexible hours, and family leave. But as long as women are the primary caregivers—not just of children, but of the ill and the elderly as well—they deserve special dispensations that men may not get. If we're not going to pay mothers for the services they provide, then let's at least take them seriously and give them what they need to do the job.

This week the government has decided to ask the EU for more time on Brexit. There is some doubt as to whether the other EU heads will approve the requested deadline extension to June. All the noise from the continent suggests they will insist the withdrawal agreement is approved by parliament, before any extension can be granted. This still seems far from likely.
Meanwhile, the BBC has reported some figures indicating the progress of traders registering for schemes to assist them after Brexit.
In the two and a half years to January this year, HMRC received 749 applications from businesses for AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) certification. Of these, only 365 authorisations were actually granted. How many of the 749 were repeat submissions from the same business is unknown.
Transitional Simplified Procedures (TSP) were announced in February this year to facilitate Ro-Ro traffic in a 'no-deal' scenario. HMRC encouraged 145,000 VAT registered businesses to apply, but by mid-March there had been less than 8,000 applications.
Perhaps most concerning, is that out of an 240,000 traders believed to need an EORI number, HMRC report just 57,000 registrations by 8 March.
Whilst the frustration of Brexit politics drags out the uncertainty, it is essential to be ready for any outcome. See below for further details, and a link to the latest government advice:

The 34-year-old singer took on perhaps one of the hardest songs to cover, Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," at the Center for Early Education's 75th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles on March 5, and she absolutely crushed it. There's no way she didn't make the late Whitney proud after a performance like that!
As a gala attendees watched in amazement, Beyonce belted out the tune, flawlessly hitting every note including the challenging falsetto in the chorus. But let's be honest, has Bey ever missed a note? And of course, Queen B looked as incredible as she sounded, rocking a sequined zebra print mini dress and flowing curly locks. With the way Beyonce effortlessly sang the classic hit, she proved that no one can cover Whitney quite like Slayonce!
Along with "I Will Always Love You," Beyonce sang some of her biggest hits like "Crazy In Love" and "XO" for the lucky crowd. She also expressed her love for The Center for Early Education, which is a "socio-economically and culturally diverse independent school for children, toddlers through grade six," that "strives to graduate students who are joyful, resilient, life-long learners," according to its mission statement. In fact, it's rumored that Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter Blue Ivy is enrolled there! Watch part of Beyonce's Whitney performance below!

Although Beyonce's "I Will Always Love You" rendition was unbelievable, it actually wasn't her first rodeo covering Whitney. Bey mashed up the track with her own song, "Halo," during "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" in 2013, and she also sang Whitney's song as a tribute to Paul Walker after his death that same year. No wonder Beyonce had no trouble nailing this performance — she's practically a Whitney Houston pro by now!
Despite having practice covering Whitney in the past, though, Beyonce has proved that she'll blow us away no matter what she's singing. Even her mom Tina Knowles couldn't help declaring that she should always be called Slayonce after her amazing Super Bowl performance with Coldplay!
As Beyonce gets ready to embark on her "Formation World Tour" — for which you can check out the full list of tour dates right here — we wouldn't doubt it if her "I Will Always Love You" performance was some foreshadowing to the setlist for her shows. The tour kicks off in Miami on April 27, so we'll certainly be eager to see if she brings out the Whitney cover once again!
What did you think of Beyonce's cover of "I Will Always Love You," HollywoodLifers? Does Bey do Whitney justice? Tell us below!

I intend to have most posts be my original thoughts but I couldn't pass this one up. It came in an email from my friend Darla. It not sourced, so I guess it is just one of those items that is created in cyberspace. If I knew the author, I would acknowledge him or her.
There is a two-letter word in English that has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP'.
It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an adverb, preposition, adjective, noun and verb.
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for re-election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times, the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
Moreover, this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not rain for a while, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now … my time is UP, so time to shut UP!
Oh…one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U P
Now I'll shut UP.

Keywords: Kafka - Google Cloud Platform - How to - OtherDescription: We use a custom LoginModule implementation that stores our user information in Vault, this is mainly an implementation of what is described here https://docs.confluent.io/current/kafka/authentication_sasl/authentication_sasl_plain.html#sasl-plain-overview
There are also new couple of entries that we need to add to server.properties.
What is the best way to augment the current deployment manager descriptor to support this?
Hi @mauricio.alarcon,
Thank you for using Bitnami. Please note that Bitnami packages and configures already existing applications. However, we can only offer support and help on basic and most frequent application configurations. Always based on the default configuration or on our guides for the SingleVM and Multi-Tier solutions
As you probably know, the Kafka files are inside the /opt/bitnami/kafka directory in the Bitnami solutions.
If the question is related to the application itself or any third party tool, probably someone with more experience and knowledge about that specific tool can help you better than we can. We suggest you to post your question on the official support forums of the application.
Do not hesitate to create a new topic in this forum if you have any other questions when using the Bitnami solution.
Thanks for your reply; I'm sorry I wasn't clear. My question is on how can I customize the multi-tier solution once it's deployed. I'm using it the multi-tier in GCP through the marketplace.
Just to clarify, so you can probably point me in the right direction.
What is the best way to customize these images?Is there a hook that we can use to attach a post-install script?Can we use any out of the shelf solutions like Terraform, Ansible, etc to add this?
Hi @mauricio.alarcon
You may already know it but in this section of our documentation you will find the default configuration of the Kafka setup (basic information about configuration and directories).
However, we don't provide a guide for configuring such as initial setup. I am forwarding this ticket to the engineering team so they can help you to walk through it. Hopefully, this is generic enough to add a section to our documentation so it is useful for the community.
Was my answer helpful? Click on
Hi @jdrios
Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward for any feedback from your engineering team.
Being able to customize our application catalog in an easy way is something that is in our Roadmap. However, it is something we are currently working on. For the time being, I think that the best option would be to automate using Ansible (or similar) the customization of the created virtual machines. The idea would be to ssh in each of the machines, apply the requested customizations and then restart all of the services. Do you have any experience with Ansible or any similar tool?
Best regards,
Javier J. Salmerón
Hi @jsalmeron
Thanks for the update. Yes; that was my strategy for now. I'll do it that way.
One quick last question - I've heard there is a way to trigger the whole Bitnami marketplace Datamanager installation as if it were a terraform script? How would you do that? so I can launch bitnami and then do the post-installation in one shot?
I'm not 100% sure if I follow. Do you mean using something like gcloud to launch our solution from the marketplace? It seems that it is currently not compatible (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54521833/is-it-possible-to-launch-gcp-marketplace-entries-using-the-gcloud-cli/54525059). I'm not sure if the GCP team may have more information about how to automate that.
Thanks @jsalmeron
It was my understanding that the deployment managers can be deployed via gcloud or terraform, I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
How can we automate the creation process? We don't want to depend on a UI to click so we can provision a cluster. Is there another API or solution we can use for this?
I presume that the best option would be creating a jinja template yourself: https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs/step-by-step-guide/create-a-template
However, it would be great if the GCP team could grant access to their marketplace jinja files in some way.

Cape Verde 50-ESCUDOS (KM22) White Seabream
Although Cape Verde has many different tuna species, the White seabream (aka Diplodus sargus aka Sargo) is featured on this circulating FAO World Fisheries Conference coin, probably because it is important as a local food source. The "sargo" only tastes good fresh out of the sea, so it is typically sold and eaten only where it is caught.
This coin was issued in 1984 only.

Located just 20 miles outside of Portland, OR, Horning's Hideout stands as one of the most scenic festival sites in the country providing unmatched camping options under the old growth fir forests of the Tualatin Hills in the northern Willamette Valley; NWSS is the only music offering this year taking place at Horning's Hideout. One of the Pacific Northwest's most family-friendly and locally-sourced festival, NWSS caps its capacity at 5000 attendees to ensure an intimate experience for all festival-goers at an incredible ticket price. The Northwest String Summit hosts over 40 bands on 5 stages with 80+ hours of near contiguous music, yoga and mediation offerings beginning early in the morning, running throughout the day and well into the night. There is something for everyone, all the time!
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our late night shows, full production sets (including light shows) at the Cascadia Stage and Kinfolk Revival Tent will commence simultaneously right after the Main Stage shows featuring additional sets by headlining acts. Daytime music workshop series operate at the Kinfolk Revival Tent . Our newly expanded Kid's Area will feature exclusive kids and family oriented workshops, kid's oriented music, arts/crafts, and activities all day long. At the Cascadia Stage, new food and beverage offerings will complement the standout up-and-coming talent beginning in the morning and running well into the night. Also located at the Cascadia Villiage, the wildly successful Troubadour Lounge Stage, a singer-songwriter focused intimate performances daily , as well as late night music running concurrent with the Kinfolk Revival Tent.
Northwest String Summit partners with singular Portland organizations, food vendors and emerging Pacific Northwest-based musicians as a way to support the various thriving local communities.
2019 Initial Lineup - more headliners on the way soon!

Try flipping it horizontally! It's easier to see mistakes from a different perspective.
A cute Tenshi! I feel that the angle that her eyes are at doesn't match her face. I think if you shifted both eyes up a little and move her right (our left) eye a tiny bit towards the center of her face it would look better.

Pipes For Toking
Which Pipe Is Right For You?
Selecting smoking pipes is not an easy decision to make. New smokers may not have used too many of the different available designs and styles. Walking in to a smoke shop and seeing the walls full of tons of smoking pipes can be overwhelming. To help make your decision easier, you can familiarize yourself with the basic parts of a pipe.
Basic Parts of a Hand Pipe
Bowl: Where you put the marijuana and where it is burned
Shank: Horizontal piece that is the neck of the pipe, it's the connection between the stem and the bowl
Stem: The connection between the mouthpiece and the bowl
Mouthpiece: The part you put your lips on and smoke out of
Carb: Hole that is covered with finger/thumb to direct airflow from bowl to mouth
Most Important Features of Pipes
It is not just the taste of marijuana that makes smoking satisfying. The look and feel of your pipe are also important factors. Some factors that influence your preference of pipe are price, quality, colour, size, discreetness, look, feel and function. The material that the pipe is made of may also be an important consideration.
Types of Pipes
Pipes are available in wood, metal and glass. Handmade soapstone carved pipes are a less common material, but are desirable pipes also. Glass pipes can break if dropped, so if you want something more durable, you should consider wood or metal.
Choosing New Pipes
Check to make sure all your pipes can be disassembled. This makes a difference in how easy it is to clean. If it can be taken apart, make sure all the pieces align properly and are easy to put back together.
The weight and size of a pipe depend on how much portability you want. Leave your big bong at home. Small one-hitter pipes are easily concealed and very trendy. Stealth is another consideration. There are stealth pipes that look like ordinary objects such as a pen or a sparkplug.
Perhaps you prefer water bongs but need something smaller. Bubbler pipes and mini bubblers might be right up your alley. They combine the convenience of a hand pipe with the function of a glass bong. Sleek and compact, they can be used for dry herb and concentrates.
If you like the hard hit you get from a dry pipe, you may want a chillum or bat. This is a simple, conical pipe with no carb and should be lit on a 45 degree angle to prevent the herb from falling out.
Other Ways of Smoking
Pipes are not the only means of smoking. There are hookahs, bongs, dab rigs and vaporizers also. It would be nearly impossible to try every type of smoking device on the market. A good idea is to start out small and basic, then work your way up.

Everyone in Bellevue is gearing up for the holidays. Enjoying the festivities often entails alcohol, and some people who've been drinking make the horrific decision to get behind the wheel. To stay safe on the road, learn how to spot a drunk driver.
Signs of Drunken Driving
Some clients bring their cars to us for collision repairs after being in a fender bender with a drunk driver. Some require major restorative work to the frame, while others only require a dent repair or auto paint touchup.
Be especially careful this holiday to avoid falling victim to an impaired driver. Keep your distance from cars moving erratically.
These are the common signs of an impaired driver:
- Constant speeding followed by sudden braking
- Driving without turning on the headlights at night
- Sudden lane changes without signaling
- Turning with an extremely wide radius
- Driving on or straddling the lane markers
- Unusually slow responses to traffic signs and signals
- Driving far below the speed limit. Many people associate drunk driving with speeding. However, drunk drivers also commonly drive at low speeds.
What to Do if You Spot a Drunk Driver
If you spot a possible drunk driver, maintain your distance and call the police. Provide as much description of the vehicle as you can to the dispatcher. Report the location, including the street, and describe the motorist's driving behavior. Do not attempt to stop the driver or get his attention. You have already done your duty; leave the rest to law enforcement.
We Perform Collision Repair Year-Round
We can't stress enough the importance of vigilance on the road. While you might be a responsible driver, others might not be. Contact Doug's Auto Collision Center this holiday to restore your car before the end of the year. Be especially wary on the road if you spot a drunk driver.
Collision and Frame Repair Services
Serving Customers in Bellevue, Renton, Highlands, Factoria, Issaquah and Mercer Island

92 percent of people who own a smartphone use their device for text messaging regularly, more so than any other function, of which there are many that modern day phones are capable. That 92 percent is a statistic that T-Mobile's Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray brought up in their press release about the announcement for T-mobile's new Advanced Messaging feature. Essentially it's T-Mobile taking their old and boring text messaging technology and giving it a much-needed boost by building it on a standard called Rich Communications Services, with new functionality and plenty of energy to give subscribers a more robust messaging experience with the devices right out of the box, instead of having to search for an app to install.
While messaging apps like Whatsapp, Facebook's Messenger, Hangouts, and others are arguably very popular and have hundreds of millions of users, most (excluding hangouts of course which generally now comes preinstalled on Android devices) don't come as preloaded apps and they have to be downloaded and installed. Forget the fact that you may have to convince your friends and family to switch to a messaging platform they've never used just to stay in touch. What T-Mobile is doing with Advanced Messaging is bringing features that are present in these popular apps to the standard messaging tech that's already built into the phones.
For starters and in addition to sending just a plain old text that you'll be home in 20 minutes, the new Advanced Messaging adds features like rich one on one and group messaging as well as chat that is near real-time. That's all well and good, but what about media? T-Mobile seems to have this covered too as Advanced Messaging will support the sending of high-resolution pictures and videos between users for files up to 10MB. It'll also allow users to see what other people are typing as the messages are coming in should they already be in the message or chat thread, and Advanced Messaging isn't device or platform specific. T-Mobile states they built it to work on any phone regardless of the manufacturer it came from or the mobile OS that it runs on. Advanced Messaging should be live as of now, but it currently only comes built-in to the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. T-Mobile does mention however that a software update will be heading to Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6 devices as the next phones to support Advanced Messaging, with more devices getting support for it throughout 2015. T-Mobile also states that more features will be built of the RCS technology in the future, so there could be more interesting features coming soon.

Roka holds a special place in our hearts. The first time we celebrated our anniversary together, we went to Roka. Since then, we've reserved Roka for special occasions, and every time we've been there we've not been disappointed. It is perhaps for this reason that we're slightly more biased in our ratings here, giving it a 9 for food, when it should probably be an 8.5. However, we had to give it just that little bit more, to emphasize how important this restaurant is to us. In fact, on one occasion, when we nearly burnt our house down (stupid, stupid mistake), we felt so crummy that we went to Roka to cheer ourselves up, and it did. We feel that food should be more than just the taste in your mouth, but also the experience and memories it leaves you, so we feel justified in giving Roka a 9 for food. (And also, it's OUR blog so we do whatever we want!)
Service at Roka is excellent. We've been there 4 times now, and we've gotten different servers each time. However, all of them have been professional and respectful, and we are always made to feel welcome there. (The door staff however, tends to be a little more 'cool' in that aspect.)
We've had so many items from their menu it's quite hard to keep count. The first time we went, we had the premium tasting menu, which gave us a very good feel of the restaurant. The food is modern Japanese fusion, and every dish is well thought and a stand alone in its own right.
The outstanding dishes at Roka include (and we order this over and over again):
Sashimi: These are supposedly supplied from the Atari-ya group, and everything is fresh and delicious. You're definitely paying the premium for dining at one of the most stylish restaurants around, as for a fraction of the price, you can get the same at Atari-ya. However, since you're already at Roka, it would be a sin to skip sashimi there. (We would skip the squid though – not a fan of it.)
Yellowtail Tartar/Tuna Tartar: Very good, and we love the sesame seed cracker at the side. Our only complaint would be that the portions are too small!!
Wagyu Beef Tartar Sushi: We had this when A's sisters and cousin came to visit, and they absolutely loved it. So do we.
Lamb Cutlets: This is far better than the version at Tsunami. The lamb is not too fatty, and the sauce has a nice kick to it that we love. Unlike Tsunami, there is only just a little sauce on the side, but we don't think it's necessary, as the whole dish is incredibly flavorful by itself.
Baby Back Ribs: The combination of the cashew nuts and spring onions with the tender ribs is perfect. This is a real pleaser.
Soft Shell Crab: Roka has one of the best soft shell crabs around. The soft shell crab is the star of this dish, unlike many restaurants, which coat everything in too much batter that it completely distracts from the crab.
Scallops: A's youngest sister loves scallops, and when we first tried it, we knew we had to order it for her when she came. The scallops are absolutely huge, and perfectly cooked. You really feel like royalty when you pick up the scallops with the skewer and put it in your mouth. The sauce it comes in is very subtle, and allows the natural freshness of the scallops to truly shine.
Black Cod marinated in Yuzu Miso: We've had this dish in so many restaurants, and though Roka's isn't the best (that distinction is given to Nobu), it is still pretty darn good.
Chicken Skewers with Spring Onion: This doesn't seem like an intuitive choice, after all, how spectacular can chicken skewers be, and why should I pay so much for it? Well, go try it. This comes with a little spoonful of sea salt, which gives the wings a burst of salt with each bite. Each wing is perfectly grilled, and we'll willingly overlook the price and order it without fail.
Dark Chocolate and Maccha Pudding: Just one word: DIVINE.
The dishes that we tried once, but won't order again include:
Foie Gras with Umeshu Plum and Nama Nori: The Nori is amazing. We were fascinated by how thinly sliced it was. The Foie Gras on the other hand, let's just say we haven't quite acquired the taste yet. It was too much foie gras, too full on.
Rice Hot Pot with King Crab: Nothing too special, its purpose would be perhaps to fill you up.
Marinated Quail: This was very tasty, but I guess quail just isn't one of our favourite meats.
Lobster and Black Cod Dumplings: The black cod is quite non-existent in the dumplings, and could have very well been any random fish. But having said that, it is a very good dish, and A did like it. She disagrees with me on this, and thinks I'm overly harsh.
Fried Eggplant with Sesame Miso: Just alright, not bad, but not worth a second try for us.
The sushi and maki selection is quite limited, but sufficient to satisfy. We particularly love the Shrimp tempura roll, and the Ikura sushi always puts a smile on our faces. This part of the meal is not the most spectacular, and we would recommend going more for the other dishes, as they are truly wonderful and shouldn't be missed.

If you didn't know already, the UK driving test is changing from the 4th December 2017 (not a very nice Christmas present, is it?). We are updating you with the most recent changes made by the DVSA. It was released on the 13th September 2017, that there would be revised changes to the 'Show me'…
Tag: driving lessons york
Before you start driving
Prior to taking the next step and beginning your driving lessons.
The minimum age in the UK to start driving lessons is 17. However, those that want to start driving should be in possession of a UK provisional license issued by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency).
Provisional license
The initial step is to acquire a provisional license. If a person wanted to begin their driving lessons as soon as they turned 17, it is possible to apply for a provisional license three months before that person's 17th birthday. It will arrive before their birthday but will not be valid until that day.
If a person is entitled to mobility allowance, they can apply for their provisional license at the age of 16.
Another step to consider would be to take up some essential reading either during your driving lessons or before you begin them. The Highway Code is recommended, along with preparing for your hazard perception and driving theory to ensure you are well equipped with the right knowledge for your tests. There's a variety of resources available on the internet.
Please visit the website if you would like to begin your driving lessons in the Hull area!
Passing your driving test quicker
Learning to drive is an exciting time for anyone.
It's natural for those that are eager to begin driving to want to pass as soon as possible and get out there.
Below, we've listed some steps that have the potential to cut down the overall length of your working process.
Apply for your provisional licence early as it will take roughly three weeks for it to be processed by the DVLA and then extra time for your licence to be delivered. Some may opt to apply for their provisional two months prior to turning 17.
If you send off your application early, you will be able to begin your driving lessons soon after your birthday.
Learn your theory
Along with applying early for your provisional licence, you may want to learn the highway code which will help with your Theory Test. You will then have a full understanding of procedures on the road, the signs and the markings you will come across when you are learning to drive.
Bump up your hourly lessons
Driving lessons are often split into one-hour sessions, however, it is considered to be advantageous to designate up to two hours of driving training per lesson. If you do manage to extend your hours to a couple of two-hour sessions could potentially reduce the overall learning time scale.
A disadvantage of only having a one-hour lesson is there not being enough time to fully learn a subject and practice it, whereas two-hour lessons will give you that extra time.
Keep practicing
By having your car that is used for learning insured, you will be able to practice the routines and subjects learned in your driving lessons. This will be useful to avoid repetitive sessions. There are manoeuvres that will need to be practiced often to perfect, where your insured car will come in handy.
Keep in mind that you must always be accompanied by a full licence holder that is over the age of 21 and has 3+ experience in driving and display learner plates at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Practical test
The time will come when your instructor believes you are almost there regarding taking your test. It is advisable to consult your local test centre seeking out the current waiting times for booking a practical test. It's possible that you could be waiting weeks, even months thus meaning this extra time will lengthen how long it takes for you to pass your test. Discuss a suitable booking time with your instructor which can allow for a wise use of the waiting period between then and the day of your driving test to finish your training.

With Liberty's spring football practice well underway, LFSN reporter Alan York recently had a chance to talk with junior quarterback Stephon Masha about spring workouts.
Masha played in eight of Liberty's 11 games during the 2015 season, finishing the year completing 2-of-3 passing attempts for 11 yards and rushing eight times for 62 yards.
During the 2014 season, Masha started two games for the Flames. The quarterback guided Liberty's offense during the Flames' upset of No. 1 Coastal Carolina, his second start of the season, completing 20-of-33 passing attempts for 285 yards and a touchdown.
In three seasons, the native of Marietta, Ga., has played in 18 career games and has completed 44-of-69 passing attempts for 537 yards and five touchdowns.
Masha, along with fellow junior Bo Swanson and freshman Rudiger Yearick, are the three quarterbacks in spring practice vying to replace four-year starting quarterback Josh Woodrum. Woodrum finished his career as Liberty's all-time leading passer with 10,266 passing yards and 61 touchdowns.
The Flames will have three practice sessions during the next three days, starting with tonight's practice from 6:45 to 9:30 p.m. Liberty will also practice on Friday (4:20 to 6:40 p.m.) and Saturday (2:30 to 4:15 p.m.) to wrap up its second week of spring practice.

When I originally heard "Summer," I knew right away that it was going to be popular and everyone would be playing it soon enough. Elephante jumped on the train and decided to make the fantastic track in his own by remixing it. He has done a fantastic job as it is quite addicting. This remix rivals the original as the best sounding version and I hate saying that because it can be a bit insulting to the original. Either way, you must check it out and decide for yourself. Download it as well since it is free!

Delaware is no longer the only American state without a national park
By Randall Chase
NEW CASTLE, Del. — After being the odd man out for many years, Delaware is celebrating the creation of its first and only national park.
Ending Delaware's status as the only state without a national park has been a mission for U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, Delaware's senior senator, for more than a decade.
"That's a distinction I'm proud and happy to say, 'goodbye" to, said Carper, whose persistence paid off last week with the insertion of a provision in a defence bill that authorized the creation of The First State National Historical Park.
The legislation, which was sent to President Barack Obama, authorizes the First State National Monument in Delaware, which Obama authorized by executive action last year, to become the First State National Historical Park.
Carper joined Gov. Jack Markell and other officials at the historic New Castle Courthouse in Old New Castle on Thursday to celebrate the milestone.
The historical park will link sites in all three Delaware counties to recognize the contributions of early American Dutch, Swedish and English settlers.
"Together, they tell the story of the early Colonial settlement in Delaware that led up to the ratification of the Constitution and led up to the First State," Carper said.
Here are some other details about Delaware's first national park:
–The old sheriff's house and courthouse and green in historic New Castle
–The Old Swedes Church and Fort Christina national historic landmarks
–The Woodlawn Trustees property, which includes more than 1,100 acres of woods and rolling pastures in the Brandywine River valley north of Wilmington
— The Green in Dover
— The John Dickinson Plantation national historic landmark
— The Ryves Holt House, which has been designated for inclusion in the national park.
Officials said the road to getting a national park has been a bumpy one at times. "It looked deader than dead," at one point, Markell said. Prior to the more recent effort led by Carper, former Sen. Joe Biden, now Obama's vice-president, tried to get the national park designation for the Great Cypress Swamp in southern Delaware, which apparently didn't go over too well with some local outdoorsmen.
"They had a hunt club down there, and they had weapons," Markell quipped. "They didn't think this was such a good idea."
While the Woodlawn property and sheriff's house in New Castle are owned by the National Park Service, the other sites will operated under easements provided by the property owners. The Old Swedes Church had initially been designated for inclusion in the national monument proclamation, but was omitted after some congregation members expressed reservations. Officials are now engaged in active negotiations for an easement that will include the church in the national park. "There is no course in seminary for easement document drafting," joked church rector the Rev. Patricia Downing.
Officials believe the national park designation will prove to be an economic boost for Delaware, noting that parks in every other state provide a benefit of at least $1 million or more. Carper also noted that Delaware's park will be relatively inexpensive, as far as national parks go. The legislation creating the park authorizes $6.5 million for improvements and upkeep over the next decade, but until the money is actually appropriated, the park will operate under the current budget for the national monument.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik (usually called Dr. Eggman) is the main antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is Sonic's arch nemesis, but has occasionally teamed up with him.
In Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, Dr. Ivo Robotnik aka Eggman found Chaos 0 and went to obtain the Chaos Emeralds to power up Chaos so that he could destroy Station Square. Eventually, he found all seven Chaos Emeralds and gave them to Chaos turning him into Perfect Chaos.
The ARK
In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, he entered a top secret government base to find the world's greatest and top secret invention which turned out to be Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow the Hedgehog told him of a space station, the ARK, that had a weapon, called the Eclipse Cannon, which was so powerful that it could destroy stars. The only problem is that it needed power from the Chaos Emeralds. Later, he got them and put them in it, but then when he found out what his grandfather's real intentions had been; he teamed up and helped Sonic deactivate the cannon. His grandfather's Intentions had been to blow up the world!

Pirate's Tale
Around Our Town...Family Finance
Wyoming Jump$tart Coalition for Financial Literacy
11/01/2005 -
First convened in December, 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy determined that the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and investing.
Many young people fail in the management of their first consumer credit experience, establish bad financial management habits, and stumble through their lives learning by trial and error.
In light of this over 35 businesses and organizations such as credit unions, banks, CPAs, community colleges, high schools, representatives from Wyoming's congressional delegation, state legislators, state agencies, foundations, development organizations and more, joined forces in July to form the Wyoming Jump$tart Coalition for Financial Literacy. Their mission is to raise the awareness of and improve the personal financial literacy of all Wyoming citizens.
Wyoming Jump$tart President, Diana Stoick, Director of Member Services for the Wyoming Credit Union League said, "This is an exciting opportunity for many organizations in Wyoming, as we come together to promote financial education, share ideas and resources to improve financial literacy, especially among our youth." The Wyoming Jump$tart Coalition for Financial Literacy and the National Coalition believe it is critical that all young adults have the financial education skills necessary to make informed financial decisions. According to the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE), American teenagers spent approximately $172 billion dollars last year.
Jump$tart's tool for increasing financial literacy is a clearinghouse database of personal finance resources available from a variety of education providers such as government, business and non-profit organizations. Many of the materials are low cost or free of charge. Teachers often use personal finance teaching materials to support their state's standards in economics, business, math and family and consumer science.
Jump$tart promotes what's already available and connects the resources with the need.
Another important component of the organization is the biannual survey of senior high students to quantify their knowledge on personal finance. Wyoming schools will be participating for the first time and will receive state specific information along with national data.
The next Wyoming Jump$tart Coalition for Financial Literacy meeting will be held in Cheyenne on Feb. 14, 2005. Membership is open to anyone interested in the furtherance of financial literacy. Contact Diana Stoick, President of the Wyoming Jump$tart Coalition for Financial Literacy at 265-9250 for more information.

What I began to see was sitting in the seat and the 'arms' come down over the top of you to strap you in. The Lord showed me how His arms come down over the top of us to cover us and hold us in His care all through our lives. I then felt the wonder of a child... "What will happen next?!" and realized, we're just like that in life, at least I am, always wondering what's next? What does God have in mind for my life? Where are we headed? All those questions have been going through my head this week.
Sometimes in our lives there's this slow moving along - like when you're first coming out of the gate - and you feel the comfort of those arms around you and you feel so safe and secure. There's also times of where you feel like it's taking so long to get somewhere! Then other times there is this climb to the mountain top of the Lord where your relationship builds or where you can feel an expectation of something about to happen (are you climbing on the roller-coaster with me?) and then, all of a sudden, things plunge... life changes and fear comes because you feel like the bottom has dropped out of your life and your scared!
I was thinking about the shakes that we feel as we're moving along on the track of the roller-coaster and how it could symbolize the everyday little bumps we feel of personalities around us or the little things that irritate us and shake us up.
Then... as I was picturing all of this in my head and coming to the end of the roller-coaster ride I thought about how cool it is to know that all through the ride, those 'arms' hold you in and keep you safe and secure. How at the end, you know your done and you survived and you breathe a sigh of relief... How like life that is... you come through a huge change or storm in your life and you realize that all the while the Lord's arms were holding you and keeping you safe. That He was right there all along, even when it felt like everything was upside down! He never leaves us and He will never let go.
What was so powerful in this to me was that was kind of how my week was. Tuesday night, I was so excited beyond belief about my first English class and how much I like the instructor and how I'm looking forward to writing and learning more about writing. It was such an amazing feeling of knowing... This is so cool! Then Wednesday, things took a turn and I was greatly disappointed by not getting a job that I had so hoped for, believed for, wanted SO badly. I really had to work through all those feelings and emotions. Then I was asking the Lord, "What's next?", "Where do I go from here?", "What's up ahead for me?", "Why do you want me to stay here longer when I thought you were moving me forward?" but as He gave me this picture... and even yesterday as I was coming to the end of my week, I just felt the Lord's loving arms around me and I just had the feeling that even though I don't know what's ahead, He does and He's always with me. He won't ever leave me alone. What a comfort to know that He has held me securely through this little roller-coaster ride this week. What an awesome...peace I have at the present moment! I know... that no matter what, everything will be OK. He hasn't stopped leading and directing me and I still feel a peace in decisions I've made recently. He has a plan, He has a purpose, and He will always hold me... securely in His arms!
I just love Him so much and I'm so grateful that He's with me on this journey called life. His love is amazing!
