Common Reasons of Facing Failure During ICAI CA Examination
Hey, we are here to help you out for better preparation of CA examinations. We always want to help you in achieving the good scores in this extraordinary program. Today, we will discuss with you some significant things that give so much stress to a CA aspirant.
Also Read: 6 Most Avoidable Mistakes While Attempting CA CPT Exams
As we know, each and every student is a victim of this nervousness and don't know the tips of preparing well. Most of the individuals never work on improving their performance due to lack of knowledge. Instead of ignoring, we can work on our CA studies and get the destination point effectively.
Do you know why the passing marks in ICAI exams are less as compared to other examinations?
The reason behind that, the level of this professional course is really very high and papers are a bit difficult so CA study tips are helpful for getting success.
A recent report of CA toppers and its stories reveals a very interestingly and wondering fact which is – "Failure improves the taste of victory". The proportion of preparing students for CA – the professional course is those who are brilliant in their schools. But, when they face failures in these exams so they get traumatized. It is very common in these days that students go into the depression.
"Human being requires failures in life because it is necessary to enjoy the success". It states that failure provokes towards the way of achievement.
There are few important reasons for being failure in CA exam preparation along with remedies –
Don't plan properly and time management skills
Nowadays, students show carelessness towards their career. Instead of feeling guilty throughout your life, be serious about your career and do such kind of things that are useful. During preparation, students usually engage in various kinds of parties which can be complete without them.
However, they don't understand the value of time. Don't waste time otherwise time will suck you , this small statement describes everything in a single line. If you are preparing for CA IPCC, then you should follow the time management tips for success.
Don't ask too much about study material and waste time to arrange it
For preventing such kind of things, here we use only use – Rest in peace . As we know, there is no one present in the world who will tell you how to manage your valuable time with its effectiveness.
The reason behind that, every individual has its own capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses which an individual knows very well, so how can any expert tell the feasible study plans for him or her. CA aspirants have to understand their utility of time and arrange according to it.
Not having clear vision between the both and single group exams
It completely depends on the capability of students and their time availability for handling both groups examinations at a time. Most get confused in between this thing that both groups are right to give or the single one.
There is no point of discussion with your friends and others because they give advice as per their thinking. But, aspirants know very well that which one is the best option for them.
Presentation skills are not good
Various rank holders said this line, that they scored good marks in the examination because of knowing the skills of writing and presenting their thoughts.
This is another big reason for failure in ICAI exams. Therefore, start working on presentation skills otherwise, students will never know their mistakes in every attempt.
Don't have self-awareness
There are so many students completely dependent on their coaching instead of doing self-study also. Experts say they have to develop their own calibers and concepts of solving the problems.
Avoid the format of writing
Don't do practice roughly because it will make your habit. Always practice for exams just like as you are at the exam hall and write the paper. It will surely help to score good grades.
Collect lots of advice but don't implement
It is a very good habit of getting advice from other experts. But, if you don't implement it in your life of passing the exams then the advice are useless.
Don't analyze mistakes
Analyzing of mistakes will proceed you in the path of success. Without any reason, no one will fail in examinations.
Take too much stress
Frustration, Panic, Depressions are very common symptoms of any student life. Especially, when they are preparing for higher level exams.
Don't give proper time for revision
Forget the time of revision which can put you into serious troubles. Make a proper revision plan that moves the direction of success.
Avoid theory section of practical subjects
In ICAI examinations, approx 50% chapters are theory in practical subjects and 30% questions come in papers are from theory. Learn each and everything minutely so no one can get panic in the exam hall.
Selection of books are not correct
Select such kind of books and study material for this highly competitive exam that can be understandable. Sometimes, someone says that this book is good so we opt it without using our mind.
Start preparation before 2-3 months ago
From the day of registering in the ICAI Institute, start the study. Through this way, students gains 1 mark each day, which is really worthy to them. In addition, they will not face any kind of troubles before weeks of the exam.
Casual reading
Instead of reading casually and read the subjects with complete concentration, students have to try to clear their concepts which help during the examinations. If the concept is clear of an aspirant then they will surely give best answers to the questions.
If you found this information of why CA aspirants fail in exams useful for you then please share it. Therefore, helping other students to know these reasons of getting a failure and improve their performance.

How are you all this lovely day?
Another item from my Boots haul is this Soap & Glory Kick Ass Blur and Brighten Crayon! For the past year or so I've been pretty obsessed with Soap and Glory's products, especially their Kick Ass range, and as I've been desperate to find a concealer that's lighter than my skin tone, I thought I'd give this crayon a go ヾ(´▽`*;)ゝ"
It's actually bright! It's actually what it says on the tin ahahaaha. Not only that, it doesn't just produce orange smudges when applied to my problem areas or dark circles like 90% of other concealers I've tried. It's actually lighter than my skin tone, so dark circles and blemishes actually disappear!
Plus, it does actually blur as well! It has a light texture so after blending out what I put under my eyes, it covers my nose, where it covers my pores and blackheads, which is incredibly useful for me ahaha as I have terrible pores/blackheads on my nose. This Blur and Brighten Crayon is fantastic for adding just that little bit of extra blur to what I would consider my worst-afflicted skin, making it look poreless and smooth (´ω`*)ネー
Have you tried this Blur and Brighten Crayon? Are you a fan of Soap & Glory's Kick Ass range? Let me know in the comments below!
Bye! x

Greetings golf enthusiasts and welcome back to the Pebble Beach edition of the Fantasy Golf Sommelier. We move out of the dry desert and into the beautiful coastline of the Monterrey Peninsula which perhaps is the mecca of golf in our great country (outside of Augusta National of course). This week is always a fun one, not only because of the iconic host course in Pebble Beach, but also the many celebrities that provide us with some pretty good entertainment playing alongside the tour pros as opposed to just a bunch of rich dudes we typically see in Pro-Ams. We also get treated to three spectacular venues this week with Pebble Beach being the crown jewel, but don't sleep on the other two as Spyglass Hill and Monterrey Peninsula Country Club are fantastic and beautiful in their own right. One of the things I mentioned a couple weeks ago in the FGS was taking the time to actually watch golf to gain an edge on selecting players, as your eyes are sometimes the best predictors of performance over stats, and anything else we may look at. This week, I also would ask that you watch for another reason, the beauty of these courses. It's literally a living canvas of golf at its finest. If you're new to the game, perhaps strictly for the purpose of playing on DraftKings, Fanduel, or maybe even just listening to us ramble on week after week, put down the phone, close the PGA Tour App, hell, Shot Tracker will only be on Pebble this week anyway, and turn on the TV so that you can actually appreciate the splendor of all three courses. Believe me, you're missing out if you don't (Bonus: On TV, there's also no annoying pop up ad where the closeout "X" head fakes you into actually clicking the ad instead of closing it out with a quick jerk to the right side of the page, but that's neither here nor there).
So far in four weeks of writing this article I haven't had the slightest idea what I'm going to write about when my fingers hit the keyboard, much less, try and figure out how I'm going to try and tie in some form of wine discussion into fantasy golf. This week was no different, but it ended up being the courses that guided the theme. Like I mentioned above, what you will see this week are three courses that beyond a shadow of a doubt are stunning. There is no debate to be had on that. In contrast, If you're a frequent listener to the Tour Junkies podcast, you know that DB and I typically always have some sort of disagreement. It may be a player, a stat, the grass surface, or more than likely, something totally meaningless that absolutely will not help you fill out a lineup for the week. We see things thru a different lens, like everyone, but who's right and who's wrong is always up for debate (DB would say he's always right of course, but humor me here). If you take a glass of wine and tilt it against the light, preferably with a white background, you can tell a lot about it. Is it old or young (in reds, dark purple like if young, a little lighter and brick like color if as it ages), what kind of grape was used, you can even tell whether it came from a cool or dry climate. It's just one more example of all the intricacies that make wine so compelling. What you see though, especially if you're somewhat color blind like me, is still somewhat subjective or maybe not quite so clear unless you have a keen eye for it. So you have to train the eye, you have to know what to look for, and then what it means when you see it. It's a constant learning process, and, what you see is still almost always up for debate. That's all part of the fun of PGA DFS golf. Picking players and the reasons behind it are always inconclusive and left to the eye of the beholder. There are no absolute answers and nothing is ever cut and dry. Of course, there's always an element of luck involved, but as they say, "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity", and I feel certain that when all is said and done for the week, just trust your gut and the research you've put in, leaving the only debate left to chance…Tito's or Rose'.
Now, on to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am plays of the week. As we always do in the FGS, we are going to use the classic Wine Spectator 100 point scale for the picks (think of it like a confidence factor):
- 95-100 Classic: a great wine
- 90-94 Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
- 85-89 Very good: a wine with special qualities
- 80-84 Good: a solid well-made wine
- 75-79 Mediocre: a drinkable wine that may have minor flaws
- 50-74 Not recommended (or a very shitty wine)
So, here we go, let's peregrinate our way into the sommeliers' cellar of fine golf plays for the week…
Jason Day – $10,900 – 96 Points – Day comes in this week in good form with a top 5 finish a couple weeks ago at Torrey Pines. He's also been incredibly consistent at Pebble with 3 top 5 finishes in the last 4 years including a second place finish just last year behind Jordan Spieth. On the stat front, Par 5 scoring is one of my favorites this week as these guys will get an entire round if you think about it of par 5's if they make the cut and you will have to score well on those in order to contend in the tournament . Day is top 10 in the field in Par 5 scoring and in my opinion should be a lock in cash and GPP lineups this week.
Tommy Fleetwood – $10,300 – 96 Points – Fleetwood! Bome! If you can't tell I'm pumped to have Fleetwood back in a PGA DFS field for the week. He's a ball striking machine and number one in the model I ran on Fantasy National when I include Par 5 scoring, Strokes Gained Approach, Driving Accuracy, and Scrambling. There's a chance also that we could get slightly lower ownership this week also as Tommy has never played here before and hasn't played in the states yet this year.
Shane Lowry $8800 – 93 Points – Both DB and I are huge fans of Shane Lowry this week coming off a win just a couple weeks ago at the Abu Dhabi Championship. He also has fantastic course history having never missed the cut in four tries at Pebble. Lowry is solid across the board in corresponding stats, especially ball striking and should be able to grind it out in what could be some pretty difficult weather conditions this week.
The $10 Wine Special – Priced like a Yellow Tail, plays like a Caymus!
Kevin Kisner – $7,800 – 90 Points – If you know Kiz, we should probably change the tag line on him to "priced like a Naty Light, plays like a craft brew" but either way, I expect him to far exceed expectations this week on these tracks. If you listened to the pod you'll know that we are YUGE on driving accuracy this week as the USGA has already started preparing Pebble for the US Open by narrowing the fairways and raising the rough. We expect it to be that way at Pebble and the other two courses this week, so you will have to be accurate off the tee to set yourself to score. Kiz is one of the more accurate drivers on tour and also typically plays well on shorter than average tour courses like we will see this week. Ignore the noise also that he doesn't like Poa Annua greens because when you really drill it down, he's actually top 20 in the field putting on them.
Roberto Castro – $6,900 – 89 Points – In rare occasions when we're guaranteed at least three rounds of play before a cut like this week and the desert classic a few weeks ago, I love to take flyers on some under 7K guys on DraftKings who have some great upside and check the stat boxes for the course. Roberto is one of those guys for me this week. He has played well here in the past with two top 20 finishes, and is checking boxes in Par 5 scoring, driving accuracy, Strokes Gained Approach, and Scrambling. He's also made 5 of 6 cuts on tour this year so there's a good chance we will get to see him all four days and he will allow you to fit a couple studs in your lineups. And who knows, maybe he'll shock the world like Ted Potter and Vaughn Taylor have done here with wins coming out of nowhere two of the last three years.
Boone's Farm Vintage Fade of the Week – Boone's Farm is basically convenience store wine we drank in college and possibly could kill you (not really, but it's gross).
Patrick Cantlay – $9,900 – 78 Points – The PGA DFS darling that is Patrick Cantlay makes his first appearance in the Boone's Farm winery this week despite some fairly good play lately. He is coming off a missed cut though and in my humble opinion, the price just isn't right for me to hop back on the Cantlay train this week. He also ranks 42nd in the field in Driving Accuracy, 62nd in Opportunities Gained, and 52nd in Scrambling which just isn't where I want to see a guy who is the 6th highest price guy on the board. Ownership will be down somewhat this week on Cantlay, but I'm betting he's still 15% plus owned and I'll gladly fade Mr Cantlay for the week.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
If you host a domain on our cloud platform and you've got a cloud hosting account, you'll be able to activate the catch-all feature for any email mailbox that you create under the domain name. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel's Email Manager section offers quite a lot of features, but it's remarkably simple to use, so setting up a catch-all mailbox takes just one single click. All the email addresses that you've created will be enumerated in this section in alphabetical order and you will only have to click on the "Catch-all" button for the given email address. Our system will notify you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you'd like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or choose another mailbox. Disabling the catch-all option is just as simple and takes one more click on the same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
A catch-all email address can be set up with a few mouse clicks in case you've got a semi-dedicated server with our company. The hosting account will be managed through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to create email addresses with any domain name hosted here. To activate the catch-all option for a given mailbox, you'll have to click the symbol with the exact same name, which will be next to each email address. Disabling this functionality can be done in the exact same manner and will not take more than a click either. In case the catch-all feature has already been enabled for a particular domain, you'll receive a warning notification. The same is valid if the mailbox that you wish to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never alter or disable any feature automatically.

A 2009 article from paulgraham.com is doing the rounds this week, identifying why meetings annoy a substantial subset of their participants. The 30 second summary is that most meetings are organised by people who spend a lot of time in meetings and hence are used to doing non-meeting work in small blocks (context switching fairly quickly). Participants, notably people who make things or write software, are used to and most productive in an environment where they have long uninterrupted time to focus on getting things done. Putting a meeting in the middle of that block of time causes a disproportionate loss of productivity (a 1 hour meeting in the middle of a 4 hour morning more or less trashes the entire morning's productivity).
The remedy recommended, which I'd heartily endorse, is for the "maker" people to set aside "office hours" for meetings, one or two chunks of time in the week when they are fully available for meetings and hence won't be planning any deep-dive productivity session. Scheduling meetings outside those times should only be done rarely and for a really good reason.
I have encountered many types of meeting, organisers and participants in my time, and the article rings very true. Doing any interesting software development or testing requires a good 30-60 minutes to get really engaged, focused and productive. An interruption after that time provokes the same kind of reaction as waking a sleeping baby - serious grump and sociopathic behaviour.
I would go further, though, and encourage meeting organisers to think hard about who they invite to meetings. Too often I've seen half or more of the meeting participants figuratively asleep in their chairs - they don't see any value in listening to one or two prima donnas drone on, but daren't refuse to attend. Personally I'd require the organiser to shoulder the burden of proving the value of attendance: unless you can make a good case why each attendee needs to be physically in the meeting (instead of reading the meeting notes), they should be at best an optional invite.
Just to show there's no favoritism, if the organisers adopt this model then it's incumbent on the attendees to prepare themselves; they should read the agenda and prep notes (circulated at least a day before the meeting) and come ready to offer specific opinions and solutions, rather than try to catch up as the meeting occurs.
According to Miss Manners, if a meeting organiser refuses to provide a meaningful agenda but insists you come, you are quite within your social rights to spend the entire meeting breaking wind loudly. (Admittedly I skim-read her book, but I'm sure I picked up the essentials.)

We should eat more beans. They're good for us, tasty, and easy to prepare. We cooked 20 pounds of them for our birthday party – here's a more reasonable amount.
- 1 pound dried beans, washed and drained
- Water and chicken stock
- Onion, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 16 oz can whole tomatoes
- Salt and pepper
- Put beans in large pan, cover with water/stock. Add onion and garlic, and bring to boil and let it boil uncovered for 2 minutes. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let beans soak for 2 hours.
- Add tomatoes and salt and pepper and cook at low heat. Add stock/water if drying.
- Check every 15 minutes or so until done to your liking. Adjust seasoning and serve with just about anything.

When fabricating metal, you have to not only think about the usability of the resulting metals, but also the many aesthetic benefits which you are likely to get from the process. For instance, a process such as powder coating makes it possible to have a fabricated metal part available in a number of colours depending on your needs. However, there is more to the process of powder coating than just getting great colours. Knowing the circumstances under which you are allowed to use powder coating will help you achieve high-quality and durable parts.
When you need a durable finish
Most people go for regular paint when they want a finish for their metallic parts. However, regular paint tends to wear out with time, and this makes the metal susceptible to rusting. When a powder coating is being applied onto the metal, it melts and forms long chemical chains. These chains create a finish which is more flexible than conventional paint. The powder coating will bend and flex as the metallic parts vibrate, and as a result, the coating will be resistant to scratching and flaking.
When you need a low maintenance coating
Conventional paint is very difficult to maintain. When the paint is water based, you need to mind the cleaning agents and the solvents you are using for the process, as they could easily ruin it. On the other hand, when using powder coating, you just need to use regular soapy water, and after cleaning, rinse it off with clean water. Due to its resistance to corrosion and rusting, you do not have to worry about the use of water in the cleaning process.
When you need a superior quality finish
When dealing with regular paint, you will come across complications such as the paint running, unevenness and dripping. When you use a sprayed-on powder coating, you are assured that the powder will melt and flow evenly and that it will cover the entire space with an even intensity. This eliminates the need to sand and refinish the metal because mistakes happened in the first coating process.
Other people who may need to use such coatings are people who care about environmentally safe coating products and people who need variety in colour coatings. The important thing to remember is that only a professional can help you achieve the type of coating that you are hoping for. They will create the perfect coating for your metallic parts, which will prolong the life and service of the parts.Share

Our readers of Android Headlines might have seen me around Google+ advocating the smartwatch and wearable tech in general. I wrote our SmartWatch 2 review, and I'm "patiently" waiting for this big update that brings much more functionality to my wrist. Now, I've been a watch wearer all my adult life, as such wearing a smartwatch like Sony's offering is just a logical step. I think it looks good, it reminds me of a Braun classic, and thanks to notifications coming through to my wrist, my phone is silent all the time. No longer do I need to check my phone to see who that email jingle was from. It's bliss. There's a new wearable on its way from Sony however, their SmartBand, which you can see in the above photo. You're probably thinking there's nothing weird about the SmartBand at all, but really there is, and it excites me.
The SmartBand is a little weird, because it goes further than any other wearables out there, and literally stalks you and follows you all over the place. At least, that's what it does in conjunction with the LifeLog app. It uses your phone, your SmartBand and such to tell you how active you were, where you took those photos and when, where you went, who you were with and more. It even watches you sleep. That's creepy. Or is it? At first this concept sounded completely bizarre to me, but when I thought about it a little longer, it's pretty cool. Here's my reasoning; I'm not very active, but I'm not a complete hermit either, I just need a little more of a push to get myself motivated. Shame is more of a motivator than anything else, and with the SmartBand collecting your every move, I will be shamed into being more active. Looking at 24 hours of activity will reveal how truly lazy I can be, and after a few days I'm fairly certain that I will get off my ass and get moving.
The SmartBand tracks all of your activity, it's essentially a small nugget wrapped in a band of your choosing and it's supposed to be worn 24/7. It's even supposed to be worn in bed, as the Smartband tracks and gives you info on your sleep. I used to love shooting hoops with my friends and we still get together from time-to-time, but with the SmartBand I feel like I will be more willing to play more often, as it'll show in LifeLog and I will have a record that I bothered to go and do something. As well as all of the "let's get fit" stuff I have floating through my head like a sweet smell, I will admit that it just seems plain cool to me. It's a gadget you tie to your wrist, that you can show your friends, that's "the future" and more! What's not to love, seriously?
Okay, so I know what you're all saying – I'm just gonna take it off, and still do nothing. That's a very real possibility, and I sincerely hope that I don't have the urge to just "forget about it", I'm genuinely looking forward to Sony's approach of fitness tracking and the like. In my eyes, Sony has gotten things right with the SmartBand and LifeLog, other bands and such that have even the slightest mentality of "take it or leave it" are no good for me, because I will simple leave it. LifeLog however, is a 24/7 affair and I guarantee that my girlfriend will be asking me to show her my previous day's log to laugh at my laziness. I'm sure that I won't be a reformed person thanks to a simple piece of technology, but my smartwatch has changed how I approach notifications, I'm no longer grumpy or irritated when I get a ton of emails or texts, because I can simply glance and see what I care about. As a result, work stuff I need to take care of gets taken care of with a calmer mind and my friends and loved ones get the attention they deserve. I also answer my phone a lot more, a vibrating wrist is nowhere as fun as it sounds. So, why can't the SmartBand change my attitude to staying active? I can't say for sure it will, I hope it will, and I'm looking forward to getting my wrist around one.

Jul 21, 1940 – Mar 10, 2018
After years of health issues following cancer at age 50, Margaret went to meet her Lord and Saviour on Saturday morning, March 10, 2018.
Margaret grew up on a farm in rural Missouri, married young and had three daughters by age 19. She lost both of her parents within a year of her youngest daughter's birth. Margaret met her husband of 45 years, Ken Johnston, while working in Phoenix, Arizona and they married on September 18, 1971 and then moved to Smithers where they raised her girls and lived until their passing. Margaret worked for many years at the BV Credit Union, Northern Drugs, and then worked alongside Ken at his accounting office until she became too ill to do so.
Margaret was extremely loyal and loved her family deeply. Although often weary and tired of illness, and missing Ken who passed away on March 7, 2017, her sense of humour kept those close to her laughing and enjoying special times in recent days. Margaret and Ken had a love for country music, dancing and travelling and spent many happy hours doing those things until she became too ill to travel. They both loved the many cats who shared their home over the years and who they considered part of the family.
Margaret is predeceased by her husband, Ken, her parents, Herbert George & Lillah Novice Haring, her sister Mary (Gene) Underwood and brother Jim (Doris) Alger.
Margaret is survived by her children, Brenda Johnston, Candy McKinley, Tammy (Todd) Larson, her sister, Barbara Knowles, her brother, Robert (Deborah) Haring, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved dearly.
Margaret loved and appreciated her extended family, in-laws, and family friends and often longed for better health to have more time to spend with those she loved.
We would like to express our thanks to the doctors and staff at Coho Clinic, Tinka and the Pharmasave team, home nursing and home support, the ambulance crew and other attendees, and our church and family friends for their care for our mother and our family.
A private family gathering will be held in her honour.
Memorials can be made to the Sick Kids Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society or the SPCA.
Condolences may be offered at www.raschraderfuneralhome.com.

I would move on to someone who shares your goals. Life goals MUST be shared to have a successful relationship.
I would move on to someone who shares your goals. Life goals MUST be shared to have a successful relationship.
A 23 year old guy won't want a baby right now and yes, he has every right to stay young as he is in the prime of his life and a baby is not what he wants.
If this is your dream and goal, you need to find a different man, one who is more settled in life and is ready for that kind of commitment.
This guy is not ready and you would be forcing him. That won't ever be a good outcome for anyone.
You need to find someone else to fulfill your dream with.
What is harsh is having a baby to fill a void. What he is doing is sensible. He's trying to build a life. Achieve financial independence.
Was your plan to have him support you financially once you get pregnant? You've just barely left your fathers house .
You say you have sacrificed and haven't done what you want to do - why? That's on you.
I disagree with finding an older man who will support you. I think you are avoiding growing up yourself

I agree, but I think what I'm looking for is how other people have moved on from situations like this.
Itsallgrand - Ok so this is not why I've posted here. You don't know anything about me or my finances so that's completely irrelevant.
Babies are a lot of work. I think it is natural for many to be jealous when they see everybody having a baby . I know that I wanted to be a young mom but I just did not have the proper skills at the time . Im glad I waited until I was a bit older . My mom was a young mom and she struggled so much because she chose the wrong partner .
Thank you, this is exactly the advice I was looking for. Yes definitely, it's huge being on the same page and wanting the same future. I love him so much, but I've now got to decide if it's the relationship I want or the future.Originally Posted by Batya33
Your dad's right. The fact of the matter is, MOST people are "planny" when it comes between certain life goals and having a baby. You're either going to have to start getting "planny" yourself, or settle on some guy who isn't really "planny" either. I think the former is better than the latter.My dads advice is he will never give me what I want or the happiness I want and I need to find someone older with similar goals to me, he said Ill be waiting for years and even then he might not be ready and Ill end up unhappy.
Wouldn't have been caught dead with a baby at 23. Hell, the lady and I have started sitting down and discussing time tables and, at 31, I think I'm just barely at that cusp.
I think he's well within his rights to not be certain, and I'll be honest, I think you're gonna have a hard time finding a guy that young who is. Not saying it's at all impossible, but maybe start looking for recent college grads who have started their career and are anxious for "the next step."
Have you not read my previous comments? I would never in a million years force him, I love him. I want him to be happy. Which is why I now need to decide whether I want this relationship or I want my goals more. I need help with what people would do to move forward on this situation, not nasty assumptions that I'm a horrid person trying to force him into growing up? This is something he said he wanted for years, he could have just told me he didn't want it from the beginning, I would have understood.Originally Posted by SherrySher

Rather than a cereal seed, canary seed is the produce of annual canary grass. The seed itself is soft and easily digestible making it ideally suited for Canaries, Finches and Budgerigars and is the main ingredient for many mixtures for these and also larger Parakeets. It is higher in proteins and fats than millet seeds but lower in carbohydrates. Also rich in dietary fibre and minerals. Originally from the Mediterranean, it is now grown in Australia, USA and Cananda with small quantities in Spain and Morocco. Johnston & Jeff's Canary seed is grown in Canada.

Here's a short film I shot back in 2011 on a hacked GH1. I'm starting pre-production on my next short film so I'd appreciate all feedback and comments.
It's a good short. Congratulations! The lighting was quite interesting in some shots.
The only think that I was not very fond of was the sound quality. What was your audio setup? Which mics, recorders, mixers etc?
Also, how much did the whole production cost? (I mean without the equipment)
I thought this was strong, with good editing. Title sequence, great but quite long. Bit too violent for me.
I'm not sure what happens to the character who gets out of the car, is he shot or does he fall badly ?
I listened through headphones and thought the sound was reasonably clean
@kronstadt Audio was a simple setup using a Tascam-DR100 for recording and using a RODE NTG-2 as a boom + Countryman Wired Lav Mic in some scenes.
As for budget it was practically nothing. Excluding gear I only paid for food and drinks for the actors and crew.
@andyharris It's supposed to be that he trips and falls badly but the way I shot it and without any proper stunt work, it's hard to tell. I wish that sequence had come together better and it's definitely one of my least favorite parts in the film.
great...the sound was very good too ... thanks
@Xenocide38 in terms of sound, the scenes that I thought the sound was a bit strange, "digital" and video-ish were the opening scene (two guys inside the car sounded strange)-- I guess that's the Countryman lav. The moment they got outside the car to rob the man in black suit the sound was a lot better (I guess that was the NTG2 on a boompole). And then in the next day-scene inside the car they sounded "digital" again; and also the following scene when the fat policeman talks on the phone--I'm guessing that was Countryman lavalier too.
But overall I liked the texture in most scenes - very filmic look. GH1 is awesome. I wonder what which lenses were in your lens kit? Did you use any anamorphic adapters? (I noticed an anamorphic flare at 5:29)
And what kind of lights did you use as your lighting kit? The lighting on fat policeman's cheek at 4:54 was not so successful, but at 9:31 was pretty nice (although the light coming from the side seemeda bit too strong and unnatural,when juxtaposed with the shots of the fat man in white shirt). Was the scene in the diner naturally lit, or did you add any additional lighting?
Acting/directing: were any of these guys real actors? They performed quite well (except that younger teanager). The lead charachter's performance was reasonably good (except for the point when he looks up at the fire-alarm.I felt that was a bit overdone). If these guys are not actors, then kudos to you as the Director and the person who had casted them.
PS: what kind of xenophobic name is Xenocide?!? :o
@kronstadt Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I was very pleased working with the GH1. It was pretty much the only thing I could afford at the time and I was incredibly happy with the resolution and look compared to the 5DmkII and 7D which were very popular but I never much cared for. The only issue I ran into with the GH1 was its poor ISO performance and the FPN. It wasn't a dealbreaker but it did crop up from time to time.
Truth be told, I cropped the film to 2.35:1 in post so no anamorphic lenses were used although I hope to film anamorphic for my next project. All the glass I used was older Nikkor lenses. 24mm f2.8, 50mm f1.4, 85mm f1.8 were my primary lenses with maybe a few shots with other glass. Now that I have more lenses, it's crazy to think of how little I had when filming this.
Lighting was a mixed bag. I used fluorescent work lights mounted vertically on stands for a majority of the scenes. These can be had for a mere $20 at Walmart (yeah my budget was pretty much nothing haha). But they actually performed quite well considering the price. Although you will notice some odd looking catch lights in the actors eyes from time to time (very long vertical catch lights). They worked well enough, drew little power, stayed fairly cool and gave a nice soft light.
The actors were all people I knew and were amazing to help me out. Some had taken acting classes but none were "professional" actors although I'm sure they'd be glad to hear your comments.
PS: Xenocide is the name of the 3rd book in the Ender's Game series of novels. Great reads if you enjoy science fiction.
@Xenocide38 Sound: and was I correct in the first paragraph in assuming that sound recording in the internal car shots were done with Countryman lavalier? Please tell me. If yes , I'll make sure to stay away from Countryman lavs.
Lights: Can you post a link to the flurescent lights that you used? or at least a link to the imageof those flurescent lights. I never used flurescent - my kit are all old-school tungsten (Redhead and fresnel As-Arri + gels)
Lenses: Nikkor glass looks superb. Quite filmic. Were these the AF series? I'm planning on getting some old AI ones.
Acting: frankly speaking, this is one of the very few short films from DSLR filmmaker community where acting is not so self-concious. You can spend tens of thousands of $$$ on expensive gear, but (for me) the moment that Acting and Sound is bad, that's it- the film is ruined. So well done to you as the Director and to your actors.
@kronstadt Yes if memory serves me right, the inside the car shots were with the Countryman.
Lighting: This isn't the exact light I used but it's similar to it. http://www.amazon.com/American-Pps232rc-Fixtures-Fluorescent-Ceiling/dp/B000KKNEYO/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1359065037&sr=8-13&keywords=fluorescent+light
I bought 3200k bulbs and 5600k bulbs and would switch when needed. These kinds of lights should be available at any Walmart or Home Depot for around $20.
Lenses: They are not the AF series lenses, all older manual focus and manual aperture lenses. They were fairly affordable when I got them many many years ago.
Acting: Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. So far it looks like my next short will also be on a next to nothing budget but I do intend to raise some funds just in order to pay actors and secure locations. Great films have been made over the past 100 years regardless of budget but they all had a great story, great actors, and good locations. I like new gear and equipment but it's such a small aspect of filmmaking.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Over the past 5 years, the SMART Office has worked tirelessly to create a tracking system for sex offenders who depart and reenter the United States. The SMART Office established the International Tracking of Sex Offenders Working Group (IWG) in 2008. As a member of IWG, the SMART Office has continuously strived to create better connections between federal agencies and has worked to improve communication from State, local, tribal, and territory law enforcement to federal law enforcement about offenders who plan to travel internationally. In so doing, we are closer than ever to having a thorough system for tracking sex offenders who travel internationally.
The automatic notification procedure described in the original International Tracking of Sex Offenders Working Group: White Paper has now received final approval from the director of the FBI, and its implementation is now in progress. Once its implementation is complete, local registering agencies and the National Sex Offender Targeting Center (NSOTC) will receive an automatic notification from the National Sex Offender Registry whenever a registered sex offender is screened by the Department of Homeland Security upon entering or departing the United States.
Registry officials are reminded to take advantage of the International Travel Form on the SORNA Exchange Portal to submit detailed information directly to the NSOTC about an offender's intended international travel.
Finally, the Government Accountability Office issued a report in February 2013 that details the overall work of IWG. It is available for review at http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-13-200.

feeling guilty for crap posts, and still too busy researching to fix this, i dug up an old short story i wrote in college, years and years ago.
it's not the kind of thing i'd send anywhere these days, and it's very simplistic compared to the labyrinths i'm bashing my skull against these days. still, i don't think it's too bad.
if you're lucky, one of these days i'll dig up this story called 'faithful dog'… remind me next time my posts start to stink.
(also, and in case you didn't know, baboons have always scared me.)
The first time I saw baboons, they were in a zoo. They sat around, scratching themselves and waiting for their next meal. They didn't look like much.
I pulled my mother's hand.
I wanted to see those gigantic horses with so many weird spots.
We saw those dirty baboons first and I looked at them. We went to look at the giraffes and I was happy.
The second time I saw baboons, it was on TV. This nature show was about a drought in Africa. All these animals were drunk on fruit. The elephant was supposed to dig up the muddy, filthy water hiding under a riverbed.
Then, they showed this huge baboon, like a giant, snatching a baby gazelle, and tearing it to shreds with horrible teeth and powerful arms and blood everywhere.
The baboon licked its lips. The baboon looked up at the camera, chewing with an open mouth.
I looked from the television to my father, stoned out of his gourd and chewing a sandwich with this stupid grin on his face and his joint smoldering in an ashtray next to him, and I wondered if he would kill a little gazelle, too.
I knew what veal was by then, so I understood that these things had to happen sometimes.
My brothers were just little toddlers, and they had nightmares about the monkeys coming after them with human hands and animal teeth, in slow motion and they can't run away.
When Santa Claus left me a small, stuffed baboon from the Lion King movie, I was very happy because I liked the movie, and the baboon character.
I didn't take it with me when we went to Johannesburg.
My father came into our rooms with suitcases at three AM. We woke up to his naked back, shoving our clothes into the suitcases and tugging to keep his sweatpants up. My brothers from their bunk beds asked questions until my father barked at them to shut up, and then my brothers were crying.
I didn't say anything. I just watched.
My mother talked about the passports from the hall.
We piled into the back seat of Mom's car. She kept telling Dad to double-check the passports. He kept telling her to be quiet because she was scaring the kids.
We were scared, all right.
My mom bought tickets with three different credit cards. She had to use all of them to get me and my two brothers and my father and herself on a plane to Johannesburg, South Africa. We were still in our pajamas. Dad had put on a flannel shirt and a baseball cap, but he was wearing the same ratty sweatpants from our bedroom.
I sat next to my mother on the plane. We took turns braiding each other's hair on the flight. My brothers watched cartoons in the aisle seats next to me with their headphones. The cartoons played right on the seat backs in front of them.
My mother explained how the weather was going to be really weird in South Africa because Chicago was in snowy autumn, but South Africa was in a hot summer.
We had to change flights once, but I don't know where we were when we changed flights. Everything looked old and dirty and everyone was talking in weird languages, and they were all these different colors of skin.
We got off, got to our next flight, and kept on flying. My brothers kept whining and asking questions. My father kept telling them to shut up.
Then, we landed in Johannesburg.
I held my brothers' hands in customs. They wiggled, and pretended like they were trying to escape from my electrical grip that kept shocking them and shocking them.
I played along because it kept them from crying. My father talked us through customs. My mother pushed a huge cart with all of our luggage, and I was in charge of my brothers.
My father rented a car. We went to a motel in the middle of nowhere.
My mother dragged me into the bathroom. She took off her shirt, and she had duct tape all over her body.
She told me that she needed me to help her get the tape off. I pulled at it, gently. She was patient. She held her hair up so I could get the tape from her back. She spread her legs so I could pull it off her thighs.
Plastic bags full of Euros hid beneath the tape. I asked her what these strange, colorful pieces of paper were, and she told me that the paper was money from a faraway place, and when dad got back, he'd be taking this money with him and trading it in for the money from where we were.
I saw a baboon from the motel window. I looked out from the window, and I saw this huge ape, bigger than me, ambling down the middle of the road.
I clapped my hands and pointed so my brothers would come over and see the big baboon like a pedestrian. My brothers had to jump up to see over the window ledge, and had to struggle to see the animal. They kept shouting about the monkey.
Then, they jumped around the room like they were monkeys.
Mom smoked duty-free cigars in a corner chair. She seemed to be watching the flies buzz around the room. The motel had windows, but the screens were all torn. Big black bars kept the bigger stuff out, but the bars didn't stop flies.
When dad got back, he took some of the money mom gave him. He didn't want to change too much of the money all at once, because people would notice. He put three or four plastic bags in his pocket, and he pulled out two huge buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a six-pack of Coke from some grocery bags he had brought back. He told us to keep the food away from the windows so the baboons wouldn't bust in and steal it.
Baboons did that in Johannesburg. They tore through screens, tugged open locked windows with brute force, and snatched the food in the window.
We never saw dad again.
My mom smoked until she ran out of cigars. Then, she just sat there. I asked her when dad was coming back. She shrugged. She put her head down on the armrest of the chair. She closed her eyes.
My brothers asked me if they could be monkeys when they grew up. I told them that was stupid. I told them to watch TV. They turned on the television, and that woke up my mother. She took the remote away from the boys. She surfed stations until she found a kid show.
I asked her if I could go walk around a little.
She told me to watch TV.
This cartoon was something I'd seen in America about a baboon and a weasel. The cartoon baboon didn't look anything like a real baboon.
Real baboons were scary.
A couple hours later, mom got up. She said that she was going to go get some cigarettes and to see if she could find our father. She told us kids to stay right there.
My brothers and I said that we would.
After she was gone a while, I was bored and I was staring out the window.
I had opened the window because the air conditioner wasn't really working, and I was leaning out of the torn screen and looking at the dusty streets of Africa.
I was watching barefoot people in dirty clothes walking up and down the street, riding bicycles, and driving tiny little cars and trucks that looked like someone smashed them around their four corners to make them smaller and taller than American trucks.
Behind me, my brothers were watching cartoons, and eating the leftover chicken. Flies were everywhere, but I didn't think there was anything I could do about it so I just waved my hands in front of my face now and then.
After a while, the people in the street had all gotten where they were going, and now there was nothing in the streets but dust and dust and dust.
Then, there was another baboon. It had a dead cat hanging from its mouth.
The baboon loped along on its knuckles, with the dead cat dangling and swinging and little drips of blood falling down the body to the tail.
When mom got back, she had a carton of cigarettes, and a bag full of cheap lighters. She sat down and started smoking again. My brothers had fallen asleep, and it was just her and me sitting there.
I asked her when Dad was coming back, and she didn't say anything. She just sat there, smoking, her eyes wrapped in purple, sleepless rings.
I asked her again.
She said that he'd be back soon.
I asked her when we'd go home.
She shrugged. She said that we could ask Dad when he got back.
When mom fell asleep, it was just me and my brothers bored to death, and kind of scared, and wondering where dad was. They were fighting over the remote, and I was sick of both of them, hiding in the bathtub.
I just sat there, with no water, and no soap.
I thought about all the baboons I had seen. They were so much bigger now that they weren't in a zoo. They looked huge next to the little, cheap cars parked along the dirt streets.
Baboons belonged in the wild, or in a zoo.
And they were in the streets, and we were in this room with barred windows.
I got so sick of waiting. I just left. I stood up and decided that I was going to go find dad. I didn't know where he was, and I didn't care. I wanted to get out and find him, or find someone who knew him.
Mom didn't stop me from leaving. She was fast asleep.
So I walked down the street, looked around.
I wondered if there was a bank somewhere he had gone to. I knew money usually had to do with banks. I figured I'd look around for banks and maybe I'd find him.
These streets were eerie. The sun was so hot, and so few people were in the street. Lone cars turned corners, and they floated in a haze of yellow dust. The buildings were sun-baked bricks, all cracked and dry.
I sweated like crazy.
I looked at all these buildings, wondered if I'd ever find a bank.
In an alley, I saw something moving, and I thought it was a dog. I saw something big and brown and it looked like a dog when jumping behind a can.
I looked closer. I wanted to see a dog. I walked towards the alley to see the dog.
It was a baboon. It wasn't a male baboon, though. A baby hung from its breast. It wasn't as big, or as scary. This mother was lifting the lids of cans and sniffing at the trash.
The mother had this stern face, eyes jammed together, and black skin with black eyes. It gazed furiously at me. The baby moved it's tiny, brown head against her breast. If she had sat up on her haunches and stood up on two legs, she'd have been taller than me. And she cradled her child away from me as if I was going to run after her.
I wasn't going to run after her.
We stared at each other.
We stared at each other forever. Then, she backed away gracefully. She was so quiet. She jumped over the fence at the back of the alley.
On the other side of this ratty wooden fence, other baboons congregated, with their monkey cries and prancing smacks and hands digging nimbly through each other's back hair.
I pushed one of the trash cans over. I poured all the filthy, awful, stinking, hot trash out in a heap. I ran up to the fence. I threw that empty trash can with all my might into the group of monkeys.
I listened to them screaming. I saw them through the cracks of the fence jumping away from the trash can, and then jumping back and striking at it and denting the trash can.
I don't know why I did that. It felt so good, that I did it again with another trash can, and then again. Then I threw heavier chunks of trash. Rotten fruit. Boxes of junk. An old belt.
Throwing that stuff felt so good.

While driving to London from Ottawa today we thought it'd be a refreshing change to drive along country roads that would take us through smaller towns we'd never seen before such as Ancaster, Paris and Woodstock.
Letters: Driving in Woodstock, blue bins stolen and Brownsville school reunion
The mostly Friendly City
While driving to London from Ottawa today, we thought it'd be a refreshing change to drive along country roads that would take us through smaller towns we'd never seen before such as Ancaster, Paris and Woodstock.
Imagine us, tourists, never having set a wheel in Woodstock before, making an error with respect to the lane we were in. We intended to drive straight through an intersection, but found ourselves in a turning lane by mistake. We put our turn indicator on in the hope some thoughtful driver would let us in, but instead the driver of a black Mustang with very dark windows giving us a gruesome stare and the finger – not just once but several times.
Thank you to the kind driver who was behind him and who let us in. It's he or she we'll remember of our drive through Woodstock.

Please return blue bins and cart
Blandford-Blenheim's annual bulk item curb-side collection began on June 3 for anyone needing to get rid of larger items not accepted during regular garbage pickup. It's a great program.
We put our bigger items out and we're thankful for the spring cleanup in our shed.
We aren't certain when the township picks up the debris, as they give people a chance to check out neighbours garbage because "One person's trash is another person's gold".
However, on June 7, I hauled our large rubbermaid wheel cart to the end of our driveway loaded with two blue bins since garbage collection on our street is usually later in the day.
My husband and I heard the garbage truck around 3 p.m. We left our property for no more than 15 minutes and when we returned our rubbermaid cart and blue bins were gone.
To the person in the red pickup truck with the ladder rack who turned around in our neighbour's driveway, you are an opportunist. You knew that wasn't put out for bulk item collection. You took our expensive cart and two recycle bins. Where is your honesty and integrity?
What a blatant act of disrespect. Other than that, it was a really nice day.

Trudeau lauded on abortion stand
Bravo to Justin Trudeau for calling out Mike Pence and the entire U.S. anti-abortion stand.
Of course he won't change any Republican/Christian/right-wing/male views on the topic. The backward step happening now, state by state, is to remove the right of American women to access the option of safe reproductive procedures. Abortions don't stop; they move underground to the filthy, unsafe, desperate, life-threatening place from whence they came.
It is not about whether you are for or against abortion, it is about a woman's right to look after her own body.

I WANT to draw your attention to a humanitarian service that our fire service provide as part of their remit.
Due to health and mobility issues I had not been able to go out for a few months and moving became a priority, as the stairs became harder.
As my moving day got closer the fear of negotiating those stairs (even one last time), concerned me more and more.
Having exhausted other avenues, and not wanting to put the responsibility onto family or friends, I decided to try the fire brigade.
The Yate day crew were so supportive, risk accessing and keeping my needs and timing at the centre at all times.
The planned strategy was so successful, time was not an issue and we became a "coherent team".
I will not forget that first hit of fresh air.
Thank you is a term that slides off the tongue so frequently and sometimes has little meaning.
Not in this instance, this is a new beginning for me and the Yate day crew helped facilitate this.

Dear Editor:
Many articles have been written concerning networking techniques (i.e., CPM, PERT). Most of these articles fall into three major categories.
- Selling the benefits of the techniques to project management.
- Describing the techniques' use on specific projects.
- Discussing the mechanics of the techniques and the advantages and disadvantages of different modeling methods.
What has been conspicuously absent in the literature is a discussion of the implementation steps with an emphasis on what must be done, who should do it and how long should it take.
It might be valuable for our academic members to consider a study to define parameters. It would be of particular value to those new to project management and to experienced estimators as guidelines. From experience I know how varied the cost of the networking aspect of project control can be.
A proposal for such a study to the Board of Directors thru the Research Policy Committee Chairman would seem in order.
Warm regards,

Clocky Alarm Clock on Wheels
Price: $39.99
Likes: 151
Available at: Amazon.com
Never over-sleep again! Clocky is the alarm clock on wheels that runs away beeping! You can snooze one time, but if you don't get up, Clocky will jump off of your nightstand up to 3 feet high, and run around your room as if looking for a place to hide. You'll have to get out of bed to silence Clocky's alarm. Clocky beeps in an R2D2-like robotic pattern so that you are sure to hear him. He's kind of like a pet, only he will get you up at the right time! You can set Clocky to run away right when the alarm sounds, or set to snooze one time before he runs away. Clocky features a customizable snooze time up to 9 minutes long.

I love this digital image from Power Poppy entitled Tulips in a Hobnail Pitcher. I can upload it into my Silhouette Cameo and do a print and cut on any paper that I want. For this card I used Canson 90# Cold Press Watercolor paper.
I wanted the pitcher in the image to appear to be copper. I recently purchased the FineTec Watercolor Gold set and decided to use the 620 Inka-Gold color. It is more copper in hue than the photograph depicts, and the metallic shine is truly beautiful. I painted the tulips and leaves with colors from Winsor & Newton's Artist Grade 24 Half Pan Watercolor Set.
I like clean and simple cards, but dimension and interest can be added with embossing folders. I ran a quarter sheet of Gina K. Designs 80# White Cardstock through the Big Shot with the rectangle from Simon Says Stamp Bundle of Stitched Shapes. Next I ran that panel through the Big Shot with the Cuttlebug Polka Dot Embossing Folder. This panel was adhered to a top folded A2 size cardbase made from Gina K. Designs 120# White Cardstock using a rectangle of Darice Adhesive Foam Sheets cut just smaller than the rectangle.
The sentiment is from the Clearly Besotted Fancy Sayings set. A scrap of yellow/gold paper was used for the sentiment banner and the sentiment was stamped with Hero Hues Black Ink. To tie in the gold/copper pitcher a slightly wider strip of mirror gold cardstock was adhered to the back of the sentiment with Be Creative Tape and then adhered directly to the embossed panel with the same tape.
The focal image was adhered to the front of the embossed panel using 3M 1/2″ Foam Tape and the card was done.

Millions of Americans want "free" health care from the US medical industry of illness and death, never knowing what such "care" would really offer. And, What does Obama's new health care bill offer us? Who knows? Even the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee doesn't know.
|Congressman John Conyers (D-Michigan).
Congressman John Conyers (D-Michigan) questioned the sense of reading Obama's 1,990 page health care bill: "I love these members, they get up and say, 'Read the bill,'" remarked Conyers.
"What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?" said Conyers, a representative of the kind of democracy the USA has become.
"Ah … Congressman, a question or two before you go: If you do not have the time to read legislation, nor would you understand it if you did read it … er … how are you able to vote on any bills before Congress? One more question, Sir: Where do you and your colleagues get the "talking points" given to the public regarding legislation, none of you understand?"
"Ah … Congressman … don't run away."
Well, he went anyway; but fortunately, the New York Times has answered my questions. On rare occasions, the Times slips up and prints something other than Banking Cartel propaganda.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
According to the New York Times, in an article by Robert Pear, published on November 14, 2009, the statements made by some lawmakers regarding Obama's health care bill were written by lobbyists working for Genentech, one of the world's largest biotechnology companies.
Now get this: These very same lobbyists wrote statements made by both democratic and republican lawmakers, that on the surface seemed to be in conflict, but were actually pushing the agendas of the Monetary/Banking Cartel's biotech, pharmaceutical, and insurance corporations. So much for the phony left/right paradigm, that our "diligent" lawmakers pretend to play.
It's comical when a portion of the corrupt system in Washington gets exposed; but what is not funny is the above model is how all federal laws are enacted. In fascistic governments, the Cartel's corporate lobbyists, think-tanks, and tax-free foundations write and ensure the passage of all legislation, with senators and congressmen pretending to be in disagreement, but always passing laws that are favorable to the financial oligarchs of the International Monetary/Banking Cartel, and disastrous to the American people.

No warblers first thing this morning, we are still waiting for the easterlies that may bring something special in the way of migrants. A female Sparrowhawk flew over the south end and along the west cliff but seemed not to stay very long, however it was still probably bird of the day.
Later in the morning a Willow Warbler appeared in the mist net to at least give some cheer to the members present on a relatively uneventful day. Wheatears managed to total at 4 after a slow start and Swallows at 10 during the morning, but little else except for the presumably home bred Pied Wagtails. Others from the log were 5 Grey herons, 4 Whimbrel, and 2 Bar-tailed Godwits.
A Common Blue and several Small Coppers were in the new garden, the Small Copper now being much more numerous than in the past when it was averaging about 1 record a year at Hilbre.
Ringed :- 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Meadow Pipit.

Fudgy Cardamom Squares – incredibly flavorful with a fudgy consistency, these warmly spiced bars will disappear fast – you should just make a double batch.
I have been a fan of Vegan Richa for years – drawn in with her stunning photography, I keep coming back for her inventive recipes using complex layers of flavor and bright colors. I love the flavors of Indian foods – Jason and I both do – and have a few favorites that I make often. Richa's recipes are not only delicious, they are approachable as well.
Also, have you ever seen a Richa burger? They are epic.
Lately, Richa has been very hard at work on a grand project – Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen: Traditional and Creative Recipes for the Home Cook:
Just like her blog, Richa's book is a welcoming and beautiful journey through the savory flavors of Indian cooking. She demystifies spices and ingredients unfamiliar, transforms traditional recipes in a modern way, and leaves vegans happily able to enjoy a vast variety of fantastic recipes.
Richa breaks down pantry staples, fresh ingredients and kitchen tools. She has …
