The Dollar found a footing after weakening during the New York PM session yesterday. The narrow trade-weighted USD index (DXY) has settled around the 96.85 mark, up from the 16-day low seen late yesterday at 96.67, which was the culmination of a 0.6% decline. The low was seen as U.S. Treasury yields hit two-week and 10-day lows in the case of 2- and 10-year paper, respectively, which New York Fed's Williams said policymakers should not wait for economic disaster to hit before adding stimulus. The New York Fed subsequently clarified that Williams' remarks were not about immediate policy direction, which has see both Treasury yields and the dollar lift during pre-Europe trading in Asia. The U.S. 10-year T-note yield still remains over 7 bp down on the week, while Fed funds futures settled to pricing in about a 40% chance of a 50 bp rate cut on July 31 after discounting nearly 70% odds for such a move in the initial wake of Williams' speech. In the mix has been news that the U.S. Navy shot down an Iranian drone in a "defensive" strike. Among the main currency pairings, EUR-USD settled near 1.1250 after posting a 12-day high at 1.1282. USD-JPY climbed back above 107.50 after printing a 24-day low at 107.21. The Pound consolidated gains it saw yesterday on news that backbench members of parliament passed an amendment, by a solid majority of 41, aimed at preventing the new prime minister from "proroguing" (i.e. suspending) parliament as a means to force a no-deal Brexit.
EUR-USD settled near 1.1250 after posting a 12-day high at 1.1282. The pair continues to be buffeted by fine-tuning Fed policy expectations, the latest phase of which has been for increased emphasis on the possibility for an outsized 50 bp cut on July 31. This should keep the pressure on U.S. over Bund yield differentials and in turn keep EUR-USD underpinned, even though the ECB is concurrently heading toward gear-shifting to an explicit easing bias. At the moment, we take a neutral-to-bullish view of EUR-USD. The pair has trended lower from early 2018 through to March this year, but has since stabilized as the Fed's bias as re-oriented to the dovish side. Support comes in at 1.1193-95.
USD-JPY climbed back above 107.50 after printing a 24-day low at 107.21. The price action reflected broader Dollar movement, with the U.S. currency finding footing after weakening during the New York PM session yesterday. We retain a bearish view of USD-JPY, with the Dollar trending lower as markets reassess the chances for an outsized Fed easing. Richly valued global stock markets also look vulnerable, given trade concerns and with Q2 corporate reports expected to show an earnings recession. USD-JPY has resistance at 107.70-72. The June-25 low at 106.77 provides a downside waypoint.
The Pound has consolidated gains it saw yesterday on news that backbench members of parliament passed an amendment, by a solid majority of 41, aimed at preventing the new prime minister from "proroguing" (i.e. suspending) parliament as a means to force a no-deal Brexit. It may still be possible for the new PM -- which is almost certain pro-no-deal-Brexit Boris Johnson -- to pull off a proroguing manoeuvre, but the new amendment will make it difficult. This in turn could increase the odds for Boris, assuming he is anointed as the new leader next Tuesday, to risk calling a new general election, which some recent polls suggest would restore him as PM with Conservative Party majority of around 40. Given this, we don't advise taking a bullish view of the Pound at this juncture. Cable yesterday printed a four-day high at 1.2558, aided higher in party by weakening in the Dollar. Resistance comes in at 1.2561-63.
EUR-CHF has put in a couple of weeks of steady, range-bound trading after dropping sharply in mid June as markets adjusted to increased prospects for the ECB to return to the dovish policy tap. The cross printed a two-year low at 1.1057 before recouping to levels around 1.1100. The advance of the Franc against the Euro will be displeasing to the SNB (the EUR-CHF cross being a good proxy on the Swiss currency's trade weighted value). The SNB restated at its quarterly policy review last month that downside risks to the economy have increased, and that the overall policy setting "remains as expansionary as before." The central bank also nudged its inflation forecast lower, now expecting CPI to average just 0.6% y/y this year, 0.7% in 2020, and 1.1% y/y in 2021. With the ECB increasingly under pressure to ease policy again, the SNB remains eager to counter Franc appreciation, especially against the Euro. Assuming the ECB remains on the path of further monetary policy easing, we would expect EUR-CHF retain a declining bias. The SNB's -0.75% deposit rate and threat of tactical intervention hasn't been sufficient to arrest recent appreciation of the Franc.
USD-CAD posted a fresh nine-month low at 1.3016 yesterday, driven by a shifting U.S. versus Canadian yield dynamic as markets re-consider the possibility for a large 50 bp rate cut by the Fed at the late July FOMC. This has helped offset recent sharp decline in oil prices, although news that the U.S. navy shot down an Iranian drove has now given crude markets an underpinning. We judge USD-CAD to be remaining in bear trend that's been unfolding since late May, with the pair having posted a lower weekly low for seven consecutive weeks now (including this one). Trend resistance comes in at 1.3064-66. As for the BoC, the central bank maintained a neutral bias last week as it delivered the widely expected no change in the 1.75% rate setting. Officials did however emphasize that the trade and geopolitical backdrops are clouding the outlook. Policy remains data driven for the BoC, which will "pay particular attention to developments in the energy sector and the impact of trade conflicts on the prospects for Canadian growth and inflation."

The air filters arrived in great condition (brand new) & they fit perfectly.
Just as they said!
The part was perfect for my microwave
The grease filter is a replacement for very old, used and torn filters. Works perfectly.
I wasn't sure what part to purchase but the friendly online messaging system allowed me to interact with someone in real time and make the appropriate purchase. It came in a hurry and fit perfectly. The price was so reasonable. I will definitely do business with these folks again!
Filters were shipped in a package that was NOT marked "Do Not Bend", so the post office rolled it up to fit it in the box. Use your imagination! I scrubbed the old ones clean with degreaser and a toothbrush. The envelope was 4 times larger than the filters.

A man who has been accused of stealing a goat, so the proverb goes, does not serve goat meat to his guests. Elijah had to learn this the hard way. Zealous for God's honour, Elijah thought God withholding the rain and dew would show that Baal was no King of Rain and Dew. Surely the Israelites, realizing that Baal was impotent in the face of Yahweh, would return to the God they had forsaken so shamelessly. How disappointed he was to find that after 3 dry years interjected by a day of nonstop miracles, the nation's leadership was increasingly eager to snuff out the flickering light of truth.
Mount Horeb was the place where Moses had encountered God in the 'Burning Bush'. A short while later, it was the site on which God had descended and forged the Israelite nation with peals of thunder and smoking flame. This was the place Elijah had fled to wait for God's voice. Dejected and lonely he waited. Like the Israelites, he had been fed miraculously by God on his way there. After earthquake, wind and fire (all of which had occurred when God had appeared to Israel) Elijah heard the voice of God in a still small voice.
God had brought Elijah to the scene of a most spectacular theophany to teach him that God would not win the war against Satan by displays of power. Having been accused of having too much power, God could certainly not try to win by showing off His power. Had not the Israelites danced before a golden calf six weeks before they'd piously promised to follow Jehovah? God's laser light shows can only grab attention; they do not effect lasting change. Something more is needed if God is to change sinners… a still small voice.
Salvation is to be found in a conversation with God. It is not to be sought in the extraordinary interventions that God makes in our lives (wonderful though they may be), rather, salvation is to be sought in a calm conversation with God. It is here in which God's immense wisdom is shown, for without gimmicks he simply talks a wayward sinner into a humble child.
What was it that God whispered into the Elijah's ear? Strategy. God's capability is seen in His unassuming calm control over the whole world. Elijah could only see Israel through his binoculars yet God was looking at countries around Israel (even their enemies). Yet God didn't hog the vision; he invited Elijah to take part. So it is, even in our day, that we seek to fold God into the boxes we've prepared for Him when he would rather invite us to participate in his expansive work.
It is interesting to note that when Elijah, understanding the character of God, could jump at the whisper of God and take part in God's larger work, he was ready for translation to heaven. Could it be that perfection for us is to be found in the willingness to jump at the mere sound of God's whisper? The ability to move forward without being prompted by the proverbial carrot and stick? I think so.
The longing however, for One who would not turn and flee in the face of danger is still there. Could there be One who would stand fearlessly yet humbly (unlike Elijah) teaching us to listen to the still small voice instead of hoping for consuming fire? Time would tell. The controversy would continue.

I've always wondered where Mammoth Cave got its name. Plenty of megafauna fossils were found there, but no mammoths. Still, that makes Mammoth Cave over 50,000 years old…which is quite young for a cave.
If you want a bit of background about how a cave can only be 50,000 years young, you can check out my post on caves HERE. It explains what the various cave formations are, too, and how they were formed in the first place.
Right. Fast forward 50,000 years to Mammoth Cave today. Looking for inspiration for some of Hell's other caverns, I'd already thought of Lake Cave for Hell's Bathroom, but I found an intriguing picture of Mammoth Cave with a large lake in it. Now, I'd never seen such a thing in Mammoth Cave, but the photos were recent and some investigation uncovered that it had a seasonal creek. Wet season here in Western Australia is winter, so I headed out to the cave in June. It was raining, all right, but the creek was just a trickle – there was no sign of the big reflective lake. So I trooped out of the cave all dejected, resolving to return later in the season when we'd had more rain. After all, I still had some research to do for Afterlife of Alanna Miller in Busselton and it was a relatively short drive to the caves. Plus, I'd had my tripod confiscated when I tried to enter the cave with it, so even if I had found a reflective lake, I wouldn't have been able to take the steady, long exposure shots I needed to truly capture the cave reflections on my camera.
I did manage to spend a lot of time snapping at the ceiling and the dry floor though – as evident by my fascination with the spiky stalactites and suggestive stalagmites (yes, they had Lucifer written all over them).
So I returned in August. I had my camera, a high-powered torch to highlight features that I wanted to photograph that weren't already well lit, negating the need for long exposures, and my fingers crossed that the heavy rain we'd had for the last week culminating in the previous night's storm would give me my creek.
I should mention that Mammoth Cave is a self-guided tour where you get assigned an mp3-player with a tiny torch attached to take you through the cave. You proceed at your own pace along the narrow staircases and catwalks, where there's no space for a tripod, even if I had managed to smuggle one in.
I reached the cave car park early, hoping to be one of the first in the cave so I could take my time taking heaps of photos. I was early, but not early enough – a bus full of retirees on tour beat me to the entrance. Being a huge tour group, they got their own tour guide, too, which I hadn't counted on. I could either go in first and have the tour group nipping at my heels the whole way through, or I could wait until they were well inside and follow at my own leisurely pace.
There are some really lovely bushwalking trails near Mammoth Cave, and I'd hiked them on my June visit, so I chose to wait for the tour group to go in and go for a walk instead. Especially as the cave's creek flows through one of the trails – I'd be able to get an idea of how much water was in the cave by a glance at the water level in the creek, which had been completely dry on my first trip.
I asked the guy at the ticket desk where the trail started (seeing as I found it from the other end last time) and he said it was closed because of the creek. I explained that it was the creek I wanted to see – presumably that meant the water was high enough to cover the stepping stones.
"Yes," he said. "But if you want to cross the creek, prepare to get wet. They're slippery and you'll probably fall in."
I had no intention of ending up on my backside in the creek, so I proceeded carefully – past the official sign saying the track was closed, right up to where the sky and the ground inverted.
I'd found the creek, all right.
But if I wasn't paying attention, it would have been so easy to just slosh right in. If you've read The Holiday From Hell, you might recognise a few of these scenes, as the creek inspired an interesting incident where Luce found an opportunity to take his pants off. If you haven't read it…well, I won't spoil it for you.
With my imagination spinning through the possibilities, I videoed the whole walk back from the creek to the sign telling me the track was closed. I figured I might need to remember the spiky plants I encountered along the way…not to mention the huge tour bus parked right at the end of the trail. Those frisky retirees…ah, but they'd vanished. They were on their tour of the cave and it was my turn to follow them in, secure in the knowledge that there'd be plenty of water to photograph.
So, first, the megafauna. Specifically, Zygomaturus trilobus, a sort of giant wombat that weighed up to a tonne and wandered around chomping on plantlife in the Australia's south west until around 45,000 years ago. The remains of 22 of them have been found in Mammoth Cave. The statue outside is an artist's impression, based on the skeleton, but it's certainly an odd-looking beast.
One of the fossils remains in situ, trapped in flowstone inside the cave for over 40,000 years. Yep, that's a giant wombat jawbone.
Then there's the mammoth the cave presumably takes its name from. You need to get the lighting just right to see in in the flowstone accretion partway inside. Really, I could only make out its head, trunk and the hump on its withers and even that's fairly vague.
And the creek inside, with all the reflections? Oh, I had some fun with that.
But after photographing everything I could find inside the cave and generally enjoying spotlighting everything along the way, I figured it was time to go. Up and out and…ooh, my favourite thing: stairs!
And what was all my research in aid of? Oh, heading to Hell, of course! All in the name of research for my Mel Goes to Hell series!

From Capitol Weekly:
California farmers are taking a huge economic hit as the
drought's impact deepens, with crop and livestock losses
estimated at $1 billion this year alone, and an additional
out-of-pocket cost of some $454 million to pump groundwater to
partially replace surface supplies, according to a new study.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Researchers at Climate Central have put together a handy tool
which lets you see just how bad summers will get by 2100, if
global warming predictions are accurate and nothing is done to
stop the upward trend.

From The Sacramento Bee:
Use a hose, go to jail.
From the San Francisco Chronicle, in Tom Stienstra's Outdoors
Every week this summer in California, drought has brought new
recreation shutdowns and deviations in nature rarely seen
before. But there's a place that seems untouched.
From the Los Angeles Times, in a commentary by
As California's drought really starts to bite–the mandatory
water use restrictions approved by the state Tuesday are just the
beginning–questions are bound to be raised about the
indescribably wasteful use of water to retail bottlers.
From the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Voices
on Water Blog, in a post by ACWA Executive Director Tim Quinn:
The State Water Resources Control Board took the unprecedented
step yesterday [July 15] of ordering mandatory conservation
measures to address California's deepening drought. Less than 24
hours later, pop star Lady Gaga released a public service
announcement urging Californians to save water.
From The Sacramento Bee Capitol Alert blog:
Back in February, pop superstar Lady Gaga got permission to fill
the pool at Hearst Castle for a music video shoot. Among the
conditions of the deal was her participation in a public service
announcement promoting water conservation, which earned her a
letter of thanks from Gov. Jerry Brown.
From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "It's Our
Environment" blog, in a post by André Villaseñor:
Recently, I thought about water quite a bit while my daughters
and I were camping in Joshua Tree National Park. To survive three
days in the desert, we brought 15 gallons of water. We were able
to thrive on less than 12 gallons, including drinking, cooking,
and brushing.
On Tuesday, amid evidence that existing conservation measures are
not working, the State Water Resources Control Board took the
unprecedented step of declaring certain types of water waste a
criminal infraction similar to a speeding violation.
From the Associated Press:
Reservoirs are running dry, the Capitol's lawn has turned brown,
and farmers have left hundreds of thousands of acres
unplanted. Even so, many Californians aren't taking the
drought seriously.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Cities throughout California will have to impose mandatory
restrictions on outdoor watering under an emergency state rule
approved Tuesday.
The State Water Resources Control Board approved unprecedented
emergency regulations Tuesday that allow local law enforcement
and water agencies to impose a maximum $500-a-day fine on water
From The New York Times:
With rainfall this year at historically low levels and reservoirs
quickly dwindling, California officials on Tuesday approved the
most drastic measures yet to reduce water consumption during the
state's increasingly serious drought, including fines of up to
$500 per day under some circumstances for watering a garden,
washing a car or hosing down a sidewalk.
From Capital Public Radio:
The State Water Resources Control Board today adopted emergency
regulations that allow local water agencies to levy fines up to
$500 a day for people who waste water outdoors. Board Chair
Felicia Marcus says collecting money isn't the goal.

From the Orange County Register:
On the same day state water regulators approved daily fines up to
$500 for wasting water, scientists released a report saying the
drought will put a $2.2 billion dent this year in California's
From U-T San Diego:
Facing a historic drought and rising water demand, California
regulators on Tuesday imposed unprecedented, statewide
restrictions on outdoor watering that include potential stiff
fines for those who refuse to comply.
From the McClatchy Washington, D.C., Bureau:
California's dogged drought will cost the state's economy $2.2
billion and an estimated 17,100 jobs, but consumers will
largely be spared higher prices, according to a major study
released Tuesday. …
The U.C. Davis analysts presented their findings amid continued
Capitol Hill talks over a California water bill.

released Tuesday. …
The U.C. Davis analysts presented their findings amid continued
Capitol Hill talks over a California water bill.
California's agricultural industry is facing $1 billion in lost
revenue this year from the state's worst drought in decades and
could pay about $500 million for additional groundwater pumping,
a new study said.
From the Stockton Record:
University of California researchers now expect California's
drought to cost the state's agricultural industry $2.2 billion in
crop losses and higher costs and wipe out 17,000 seasonal and
part-time farm-related jobs.
The California economy could lose $2.2 billion this year because
of the drought. That's according to a UC Davis study that shows
the agriculture industry alone could lose $1.5 billion.

We've been homeschooling for 6 years now. Some days go better than others! Here's where I'll share what's working for us, and what we think needs some adjustment.
Finally getting around to posting something on this page. We've taken a lot of different approaches over the years, including Susan Wise Bauer's The Well-Trained Mind, Lori Pickert's Project-Based Homeschooling, Charlotte Mason-style, almost unschooling, notebooking and Layers of Learning. We have never tried an all-in-one curriculum; the closest to that we got was Moving Beyond the Page. Last semester, I tried using Shmoop.com for some of the kids' classes, but too many, I think. Shmoop has a wide variety of possible classes, and I always have trouble overfilling my plate at a buffet. Last semester I was overfilling the kids' plates. So, this semester, I'm slowing down and focusing on the joy of learning. An example of a great joy of learning kind of day is in this post, from 1/12/18:

Port Ellen is arguably the most legendary of Scotland's closed whisky distilleries. Residing on the Isle of Islay, Port Ellen's stills sadly fell silent in 1983, but whisky enthusiasts continue to loudly proclaim their love of Port Ellen's slowly decreasing stocks many years after. This right here is a 33 year old single malt from Port Ellen, distilled in March 1983 and aged in a refill butt until February 2017, when we bottled it for our very own Single Cask Series.
Nose: An amazing combination of red fruits and baked goods – pain au chocolat with red cherry. Also, toffee, remarkably fresh orange notes, buttery leather, a sage, herbal quality, and an earthy, warming peatiness that underpins everything without overpowering.
Palate: An opulent, velvety mouthfeel that's bursting with rich toffee and shortbread, stewed strawberry and raspberry notes. Christmas cake elements also sneak in – and then the remarkable swoosh of bonfire ember peat. There's a dark, high-cocoa percentage chocolate bitterness to it, too.
Finish: Long, lingering and luxurious. The vibrant cooked dessert quality goes on and on, and then there's the comforting sense of just-blown-out birthday candles. A celebration in a glass.
Overall: Almost obscenely well-balanced, and remarkably fresh for its age. All-round Incredible.

The Happy Man: A Tale of Horror by Eric C. Higgs
THE HAPPY MAN: A TALE OF HORROR is one bizarre piece of work from the 80's, brought back by Valancourt Books. I finished this book on Saturday and I still am not sure what to make of it!
A couple moves in to a new housing development in a suburb of San Diego. Charles Ripley and his wife are mostly on an even keel, despite a tragedy that occurred shortly after the move. Then, the Marsh's move in next door and even though they don't know it, the lives of the Ripley's are soon about to change.
First-the good. It is very difficult to put this book down. The chapters are short, (heck, the BOOK is short), and fast paced. Once things start happening, they don't stop happening until the very end.
Second-the baffling. I'm not sure what the point of THE HAPPY MAN is supposed to be? I'm pretty sure there's some commentary going on here about housing developments, suburbia, immigration, sex, monogamy, corporate America, family dynamics, drug use, the decline of morals in society and so on, but was that the point? I don't know!
Perhaps it's this simple: A man thought he was happy and then was shown that he wasn't? Or that it didn't take all that much to turn a happy, regular guy into something else altogether? Maybe everything is just as much a facade as was Charles Ripley's demeanor? Charles wasn't that good of a guy in the first place and it only took a small nudge to send him down the road of....well, you'll have to read this to find out.
I'm going with a 4/5 star rating because I'm still thinking about this short novel days later and also because it was VERY difficult to put down once started. I'm also going with RECOMMENDED, if only so that you and I could talk about it and I could see what you think, when you're done!
You can get a copy here: The Happy Man: A Tale of Horror
*I received an e-book free from Valancourt Books in exchange for my honest review. This is it!*

As a woman, you can expect your body to go through physical changes during certain milestones in life. And that means you need to adjust the nutrients you're getting—with calcium being a priority. After all, calcium is what helps keep your bones and muscles strong, your heart healthy, and your nervous system working properly, so you can't risk a deficiency. …
Women Need More Calcium: What To Do If You Aren't Getting Enough
Everyone can benefit from calcium, but women need more calcium than men, especially as they age. That's because women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis, so they need calcium to strengthen their bones. And then there's menopause, during which bone loss often speeds up. Clearly, calcium is one nutrient you don't want to skip, even for a day. Fortunately, …
Why Do Women Need More Calcium Than Men?
Women need more calcium than men, especially during key life stages. Here's why, and here's how women can get the calcium they need.
How Women Can Get the Calcium They Need to Maintain Bone Health
Women need 1,200 mgs of calcium on a daily basis to maintain bone health. Here's how to get more calcium in your diet.

Popular Comedian Santhanam of Robo fame is grabbing the headlines due to a business dispute.
According to sources, Santhanam has paid an enormous amount to a real estate builder to construct a wedding hall. The builder told to Santhanam that he'll complete the building within a couple of months.
However, the constructor has not met the deadlines and as a matter of fact, at one point of time, the project stopped. Recently, Santhanam got frustrated and asked the builder to pay back his money and it had lead into a war in between them. The conversation started off well but went into a verbal dispute leading both the sides to lodge complaints with the police.

What is it that empowers you most?
I am empowered by my ability to take control of what I'm feeling and create something from it. I surround myself with insanely creative people who turn parts of themselves into books, photographs, videos and games on the daily. They are constantly inspiring and empowering me to do the same.
What is it that you love most about yourself?
I love my competitiveness, my drive and even my stubborness. I love that I can be hurt, but that I will always rub some dirt in it and move on. Also, my butt, I love my butt.
What makes you feel most beautiful?
I never feel sexier than when I'm dancing! On the stage, in the kitchen, the car, at my desk, it really doesn't matter.
Who is your biggest role model and why?
My Grandmother, Mary Wagner never ceases to amaze me. She is kind to everyone (whether or not they deserve it), her time is always someone elses, she has battled, been scarred and continues to completely rock a pair of heels. Somehow she managed to raise a house of four girls and still find time to be a determined career woman. She is everything I hope to be one day. (Plus she looks like Meryl Streep's more attractive sister.)
"I am empowered by my ability to take control of what I'm feeling and create something from it."
Who are your favourite cultural heroines and why?
Clara Hughes: Not only is she the only athlete to ever win multiple medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games which is hella amazing. She now also works with mental health initiatives such as Bell Let's Talk and Clara's Big Ride. For her, success means that she is able to use her voice to reach out and help people, specifically those affected with mental illness the way she was affected by depression.
Misty Copeland: Long before becoming a soloist for the American Ballet Theatre and Under Armour campaign star Misty was told she had the wrong body type for ballet, and frankly at 13, was too old anyway. Nevertheless she quickly became a dance prodigy. She should be the answer inside every girls head when they tell themselves to quit.
If you could pick one fictional female character to be for a day who would it be and why?
Samus Aran (the insanely badass chick from Metroid.) She had every trait of a true heroine, plus she still manages to be one of the least sexualized female characters in video games. I first started playing Metroid Zero Mission when I was a 5-foot-tall, flat chested, baggy jean wearing 14-year-old. The fact that the main character was a girl and that she bucked gender stereotypes long before Peach and Zelda ever shook the glitter out of their hair made me feel like maybe I wasn't totally wrong.
What is your biggest life goal?
I'm going to pull a Beyonce here and go with "to be happy". It's taken me a long time to realize that I need to put my happiness at the forefront of all my goals. If I'm doing something because it makes me feel good then I can't go wrong.
What is your biggest accomplishment?
Hopefully I haven't accomplished it yet. Is that a cop out? I think that at this stage in my life my biggest accomplishment was learning that it's okay to go all out for what you want. And it's okay to fall down a couple times in the process. I'm learning that only I can define success for myself, it's not something that can be given. You have to get it all on your own.
What is your favourite quote?
"Show up. Shine. Let it go." – Danielle LaPorte
This quote is simple and sweet, for me it is drive, openness and self-reflection/self-forgiveness.
If you could tell your 12 year old self one thing what would it be?
Never try to be normal. People are going to spend their whole lives trying to make you feel like you should be less of what you are, embrace it. At least you're not boring.
What does feminism mean to you?
Feminism means complete equality of the sexes. As a feminist I have every right to pursue and obtain anything that a man can. Access to education, choice in careers, ideas about sex, and society should be the same for both sexes.

Cycling along Kamokawa River, Kyoto, Japan
Kyoto Private Cycling Tour
Filled with Buddhist temples, stunning landscaped gardens, traditional wooden houses, Shinto shrines and Imperial Palaces, one of the best ways to explore Kyoto is by bike. On this half-day private cycling tour, a knowledgeable local guide will lead you to the best destinations to see what makes Kyoto so magical. You will pedal your way along the banks of the river through the scenic Miyagawacho and Gion geisha districts. These are two of the most likely locations in Japan for you to see a geisha or maiko (apprentice geisha). The two are difficult to tell apart without knowing exactly what you are looking for, but your guide will be able to spot subtle differences in their hairstyles and kimonos that they will be able to share with you.
You will continue your cycle trip along the Shirakawa canal which is lined with cherry blossoms and weeping willow trees, past traditional dark wooden Kyoto style tea houses, before heading to the Imperial Palace Park, the former residence of the Emperor of Japan, with its carp-filled lakes and beautiful gardens. Then it's time to head back towards Kyoto station along the Kamo-gawa River, which is great for people-watching thanks to its popularity with strolling locals, playing children and picnicking couples. In springtime the cherry blossoms come into full bloom along the banks of the river and in summer restaurants open breezy balconies looking out to the river. If you would like to experience this, or simply stay out a bit longer independently just let us know and you will be welcome to keep your bike until 19:00 at no charge.

So, my absolute favorite part of Thanksgiving Day was actually Thanksgiving Night. We'd had a very enjoyable afternoon with a small gathering of family and friends, and I was ready to be joyfully contented with it. But then Elizabeth invited a few more of her friends over and they decided to play Spicy Uno. And she invited Brian and me to play, too. I love that Elizabeth lets her old parents play with her and her friends! I'm telling you, for the amount of laughter and raucousness which went into our play-time, I felt completely vindicated for the dessert I'd eaten. Totally worked it off, I'm sure.OK. Now that I've piqued your interest, let me tell you how to play Spicy Uno. Everyone begins with seven cards and play proceeds just like regular Uno. BUT, there are a few additional rules. *Anytime someone plays a "6," everyone has to slap the discard pile. Last person to put their hand down has to take two additional cards from the draw pile. *If another person plays a card identical to one in your hand (same color AND face-value) you may play your card (quickly!) regardless of whether it is your turn, or not. But you have to play it before the next person takes their turn - or you sacrifice your move. (Play resumes just as if it had really been your turn. Yes, that means several people may get "skipped." Too bad!) *Every time it is your turn, you must play a card. If you don't have a play-able card in your hand, you have two options. 1) You may pick a card from the draw pile. However, if it isn't play-able you have to draw another. And keep drawing until you get a play-able card. OR 2) You may ask for "help". When you ask for help, other players may offer you a card from their hand - face down - for you to accept, or not, without looking at it. The card they give you may be play-able, or not. (This is where you find out who's on your side, and who isn't. This is also where things get very interesting because you can team up to prevent others from winning!) If the card you accept is not play-able you must pick from the draw pile until you find a play-able card.*AND, when a "Draw 2" card is played, the person to whom it was given may lay another "Draw 2" down, causing the next person to draw 4 cards. Unless, of course, they also have a "Draw 2" to lay down - which would cause the next player to draw 6 cards. And on it goes, until nobody has a "Draw 2" to play. (This is also a time when you may ask for "Help!" Another player might give you a "Draw 2" to get you out of a mess. But, keep in mind, just because you ask for help and everyone knows you want a "Draw 2" doesn't mean somebody will give you a "Draw 2". You could be accepting a fraudulent card and end up drawing 2 or 4 or 6 or however many cards the total has reached. It's a risk you take!) Additionally, within the line of "Draw 2" build up, you are allowed to up the ante by playing a "Draw 4". At this point additional "Draw 4" cards may be added, but you may not revert to "Draw 2". So, yes, if - for example - Draw 2 + Draw 2 + Draw 2 + Draw 4 + Draw 4 were played before anyone couldn't play another card, some unfortunate soul would be adding 14 cards to his/her hand!*One more thing. If you get caught not saying "Uno" when you only have one card left to play, you must draw seven cards.And there you have it. Complete guidelines for spicing up that old deck of Uno cards you may not have touched for a few years. So, grab your kids (Even if they're "older" - actually, this game works better with older kids!) and get ready for a fun time.Let me know how they like it!

Obituary: Rosemary K. Murphy, long-time resident, loved travel
Rosemary K Murphy, 84, passed peacefully on August 2, 2016 while briefly residing in Atlanta, GA. Predeceased by her beloved husband of 56 years George, her sister Anne (Parkhurst) and her brother William. Survived by her brother James (Alma) and her children Ellen, Kevin (Molly), Sharon (Mike), Lauren (Russell) and Stephen (Jill), and her grandchildren Mitchell and Samuel Weber, Sean (Cori), Ryan and Jack Murphy, Kristen (Rob) Conrad, Thomas Vet, Kilen and Keely Murphy, and her first great grandchild George McGoogan Murphy.
A long-time resident of Darien, CT, Rosemary was born in Stamford, CT to James and Mary Kearns and attended Sacred Heart Academy. While living in Rochester, NY, Pittsburgh, PA, Atlanta, GA, and Chicago, IL, Rosemary always wanted to return to her beloved CT and the water. Residing in Darien and then Stamford, Rosemary and George wintered in Litchfield by the Sea, SC for many years. Her love for travel, the beach and her family and friends was evident to all who knew her. Rosemary was an avid bridge player, appeared on the game show Jeopardy, loved to bowl and attend PGA tournaments with George. She was a proud member of Mensa, and her children and grandchildren will always remember her words "look it up in the dictionary and then remember it". Her daily passion was doing the NY Times crossword puzzle with a pen. Although her children were in Stamford, St. Louis, MO, Grand Rapids, MI, Atlanta, GA and Vancouver, WA, Rosemary and George traveled frequently to visit, celebrate milestones and share their love and wisdom. Whether having family visit her in Stamford or in Litchfield by the Sea, Rosemary always was there for each of her grandchildren.
To her extended family and circle of friends, she was known as Mom, Rosemary, Aunt Roe and especially Grammy. In later years she courageously faced the impact of Alzheimer's with dignity and courage, and is now at peace. In lieu of flowers, the family requests consideration towards donations to the Alzheimer's Foundation in her memory to help those who are stricken with this insidious disease.
A Memorial Mass celebrating Rosemary will be held on Saturday October 8, 2016 at 10:00am at Saint Maurice Catholic Church, Glenbrook, CT for family and friends. On behalf of Rosemary, her family would like to thank all who knew and loved her.

text: Just had a very common question from a gym buddy so, thought I would share. How many calories do I need each day? Use this simple rule of thumb. Take your body weight (that you want to be) times 10 and then, add 200. For example, you want to weigh 150 lbs; you would need 150 x 10=1,500 and add 200 = 1,700. This is the ball park number of calories you need each day to maintain a body weight of 150 lbs. Add more calories to adjust for your exercise habits. Also, this is why you don't want a Quarter Pounder with cheese regular combo with a coke from McDonald's, which is 1,100 calories or in this instance 65% of your daily calorie requirements.

Ruby in Seven Languages in Seven Weeks
I recently picked up Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce A. Tate. It's a whistle stop tour of seven programming languages. Each one is chosen for an aspect of its programming model.
The languages are Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure and Haskell. I've met four of them before but Ruby is the only one I've really used outside an introductory tutorial. I'm quite excited that Prolog is on the list. I've heard some good things about it and quite fancy trying it out.
Tate doesn't claim to be able to teach seven languages in less than two months. (The introduction begs you not to buy the book if this is what you are after.) Instead, he offers an introduction to the basics of each language: just enough to let him explore the programming model. The reader is expected do some independent research to progress through the book as there is no space for installation instructions or explanations for common programming concepts.
First Up is Ruby
The Ruby section starts with a little history and a brief interview with Ruby's creator, Matz. Day one covers some language basics including duck typing. Day two is functions, collections, classes and mixins. Day three is open classes, writing DSLs, macros and meta programming with modules.
Let that sink in for a moment: Domain Specific Languages on day 3 of a new language. That kind of stuff is usually left to a chapter near the end of a weighty tome.
I've used Ruby before so the early exercises were nothing new. I was glad of the refresher because day 3 was entirely new. In Java land we just don't have tools to do most of those things, at least not without spending a few weeks writing a framework first. In Ruby they were so quick and easy.
Of course, in such a lightning quick tour, Tate can only skim the surface of meta programming which must be an incredibly rich topic. I feel that working through the book has given me a little insight. I understand what some of the tools are and I can see where some of them would make my programming life easier (mixins in particular).
However, others techniques are still a bit opaque to me. Meta programming with modules is one such area and although the example in the book explains how all the parts work, it doesn't demonstrate why they are useful. After commenting out a bunch of lines in the book's example, I was left with a simple mixin, It did the same job as the original (although it went about it a different way) so I can't help wondering if a better example could have been given: something that couldn't have been solved more easily with another technique.
There is obviously something I am not seeing and the book's introduction excuses Tate from explaining it to me in detail. He's given me a starting point for independent research and that's good enough. The difficult decision is choosing between doing that research now or pushing on to Io in the next chapter.

Ever since his self-proclamation as part of the "New York Five," Richard Meier has risen through one top commission after another to the dizzy heights of architectural stardom. From Madison Square Garden to Shenzhen, China, his sleek, luminously white modernism has created some of the most high-profile and distinctive buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries .
Meier's portfolio is as varied as it is illustrious. He has worked with Roman treasures (Ara Pacis Museum), seaside resorts (Jesolo Lido Village), civic centers (San Jose City Hall), and private clients in the Hamptons. On each project, Meier's hallmarks are careful grid plans and expansive use of white surfacing and glass. The buildings are as much beacons of brilliance from the exterior as they are temples to clarity and purpose inside.
This introductory book traces Meier's complete career to explore the making of a cult architect. With abundant images, we take in all his most famous projects, such as the Getty Center in Los Angeles, as well as his most recent works such as the OCT Shenzhen Clubhouse in Shenzhen, China; and the Burda Collection Museum in Baden-Baden, Germany.

Greenland: The Ultimate Zinc Deposit
Ironbark is currently developing three projects in Greenland, of which the Citronen zinc and lead prospection stands out by far. The Australian multinational begun to enhance the project for the exploration of the deposits on the northern areas of Greenland back in 2012, this being the largest unexplored deposit in the whole world with resources over 13 billion pounds.
The project obtained its exploration licence in December 2016, licence which is valid for 30 years, and is now on its final stage, captivating investors for the ultimate effort of finally beginning the exploration of a mine that has already been classified as being of worldwide relevancy.
Amongst the pluses of the project we find its geography, given that Greenland is an autonomous zone of the Kingdom of Denmark there is a very low sovereignty risk associated to the exploration of the ore. The localization of the mine is also extremely favourable given that it's adjacent to deep waters that will allow it to easily transport the ore both to Europe and North America.
The deposit itself is considered easy to extract, since it is located in a flat area and near the surface! The life span of the mine is another positive point, all signs point that it will be extremely wide given that the ore can be found in all directions from the original extraction site.
Ironbark highlights that this will be one of the rare ore deposits owned by a single junior company worldwide, proving an excellent opportunity for investors to jump aboard, and the fact that a mine of this dimension is still unexplored on a time when an alarming number of zinc mines are about to shut down its operations due to the extinction of its deposits (that meaning, on the middle run a reduction of the zinc availability will correspond to a rising on the prices).
Not only that, Ironbark already secured a partnership with a Chinese multinational with an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract, comprehending on a single contractual object the planning of the project, its construction and the purchase and assembling of the equipment, including the growth estimates for the operation at a fixed price.
The 430 million dollars investment will result on an annual extraction from 180,000 to 200,000 tons of zinc on a deposit estimated to last a lifetime, being that the operation is owned by a single company that already secured the exploration license and all the mandatory environmental certificates, which Ironbark rightfully contemplates as being its main attraction for investors.
The objectives pass by assuring the financing in the current year, preferably until September, to begin exploration in 2018 and exporting the already refined ore in 2019 on a harbour created from scratch in the deep waters adjacent to the mining facilities.
The most likely partnership, for now, would be with the Chinese state company Non Ferrous Metal Mining (NFC), one of the largest and most experienced Chinese companies that currently has a staff of over 50,000 employees and has uncountable mines, factories and metallurgical installations spread throughout the globe.
The government of Greenland is also supportive of the project, as a stable nation that guides itself under European law, although geographically located on the American continent and with Canada on its border, the national authorities have been pushing the mining of its territory through the creation of a mining school to technically habilitate its active citizens and Greenland has in its history a whole zinc mining background, although on a smaller scale.
To date Ironbark already spent 50 million dollars on the construction of its mine base camp and on the planning for the project, being confidant that up to the end of the year it will secure the full financing for the project.

------------hardcover, a Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dustjacket, gift inscription on first blank endpaper, 326 pages, b&w photos, ---"The RCN is best known for its role in the defence of convoys against attacks by U-boats, particularly those in the mid-Atlantic from 1941 to 1943. Marc Milner's 1985 book, North Atlantic Run: The Royal Canadian Navy and the Battle for the Convoys, was the first scholarly analysis of those crucial defensive operations. The U-Boat Hunters takes up the story for the last two years of the war, when the measurement of operational effectiveness at sea shifted from success in defending convoys to the ability to hunt down and sink U-boats.The U-Boat Hunters begins with a thorough reevaluation of the RCN's role in the decisive Allied Atlantic victory over the U-boats in 1943. It presents some startling new conclusions about why the Canadians were marginalized in this the greatest of all anti-submarine offensives. Most studies of the Atlantic war end at this point, but 1943 is just the prologue to Milner's new book. Historians have ignored anti-submarine warfare in 1944-5 because it was highly technical, undramatic and of no consequence to the outcome of the war itself. But the war against the U-boat was unrelenting. Schnorkels, improved batteries, radar detectors, and complex inshore water conditions made it difficult to find and sink late-war U-boats. By 1944 the Germans were building new, high-speed true submarines, against which the Allies had no effective countermeasures. This book is the story of how the RCN tackled these elusive enemies, how it fought to master the basics of modern anti-submarine warfare, and how its efforts fit into the larger Allied campaign"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo

When did you start practicing at Bikram Yoga NYC, and why?
I took a few classes in May 2013 but gave up and returned back in November 2015( took some serious convincing by my husband!) . After a 30 day challenge, I enthusiastically looked forward to practice everyday for next 124 days until I left for my planned vacation in April 2016! I was in an accident and sustained hip, knee, ankle, spinal injuries and left hamstring muscle had to be removed surgically. I am now on a journey of healing and this practice is helping me get there by staying focused and disciplined.
Who are your favorite teachers and why would you recommend their classes?
Patrick Lynch: never a dull moment in his class, makes you work extra hard when you are just about to give up, Melissa Ritz: her incredible energy and enthusiasm, Natalia Maldonado: her positive attitude, John Mabry: his calm and confident teaching.
What is it about Bikram Yoga that keeps you coming back?
It is located 2 blocks from where I live! The best part is when I walk out of the studio feeling so good and refreshed that I wish I had the luxury of planning my day around yoga. It has definitely helped in my healing process. Not everyday is going to be the same but all you do is show up and before you know 26 postures are over and you made it out alive!
Favorite posture?
Standing Bow.
Least favorite posture?
Has being a regular practitioner of yoga helped your work life?
Being a physician in training, my schedule allows me to take only the evening classes which helps me relax after a long day. I have to constantly read and revise medical literature and yoga has helped me focus better.
What would you say to someone new who's unsure if Bikram is for them?
Take advantage of their 'one month unlimited class' package. If you make it to the end, you're up for a 30 day challenge!
Do you live by any inspirational quotes?
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose; a point to fix the intellectual eye.
What is one thing you love about Bikram Yoga NYC?
Convenient location and flexible class schedules to balance your personal and professional life.
Final thoughts?
It has taught me to practice discipline and self love on and off my mat!

The 2:36 video below is a brilliant, satirical bit by John Clarke and Brian Dawes asking the important question regarding the European Union's debt and currency crisis.The routine is funny, but, unfortunately, all too true.
The bit poses the question: how can broke economies lend money to other broke economies who haven't got any money because they can't pay back the money the broke economy lent to the other broke economy and shouldn't have lent it to them in the first place because the broke economy can't pay it back?
The answer is to not waste very valuable time looking for answers.

Felipe Massa finds a future in the Formula E with Venturi
Brazilian racer Felipe Massa finds a future in the FIA Formula E Championship with Venturi. After spending sixteen seasons in Formula One from 2002 to 2017 and taking a break from racing in 2018, the 37-year-old Massa will reactivate himself in the 2018-2019 Formula E season with Venturi Formula E Team.
Massa signed a three-year deal with the Monaco-based team. He will begin testing an electric VFE 05 Gen2 race car by the end of this month. The fifth season of the Formula E will start at the end of the year. The calendar has not been announced yet.
"I'm very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E team and the Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time. For some years now, I've been clear about my interest in this innovative, forward-looking discipline that's developing exponentially. I especially like the format of race meetings, the city-centre circuits and the contact with the fans. I can't wait to take part in testing at the end of the month," Massa said.

Customer training is a value-add that differentiates your company from the competition. This is because it's a win-win: Customers learn to use your product or service more effectively and you benefit from the revenue stream. These qualities are often considered by looking at return on investment (ROI) and value of investment (VOI), which have a well-defined connection. Unless your customers find value—their VOI—from the learning that you provide, you will not reap any financial reward—your ROI. The emphasis of this chapter is how to you can measure the ROI and VOI of learning throughout the customer lifecycle.Why customer training? The vendor movement toward more in-depth customer training experiences continues to evolve. Vendors have provided some end-user "feature" training but, in general, customer training has not been a high priority of software vendors. If training is included, it's often developed toward the end of the development cycle or just before launch. This "feature" focus of training also means that the users have a very narrow product exposure and often don't understand the context and higher purpose of the software—the real reason behind why they're doing it.Today, customers are savvier about what they need for training. Especially with subscription software, vendors have to do more than provide a product. The competition is fierce, and the goal for vendors becomes the added business value training provides to help retain and grow a long-lasting partnership with the customer.
The measurement process for external customer training programs is very different from the measurements used for internal corporate learning. The number of people registered for a course, the number of course completions, test scores, and the number of courses in the library are important to learning and development people. But the C-Suite wants business data that indicates that customer training influences business results.
They're looking for results such as:
To get results in these areas, you must focus on:
By following these guidelines, you'll be on your way to achieving a stronger ROI from Customer Training.
|Business unit
|Role in customer training
|Learning and Development
|Based on customer surveys, data, and L&D knowledge of adult learning, L&D creates and/or acquires content and assembles it into a variety of effective user experiences.
|Uses customer training as a differentiator in making the sale. Customer success managers (CSMs) explain the opportunities and suggest appropriate learning for new, intermediate, and advanced users. Sales stays up to date on present and future learning content.
|Information Technology
|Assures that the customer training technology is consumer-like in its ease-of-use, provides quick access 24x7 from any device, and supports learning in multiple formats (elearning, microlearning, social, virtual classroom, etc.).
|Uses market analysis to help determine what customers want. Continually informs customers about learning events and activities and how these add to their success with the product. Emphasizes increased productivity due to high-quality content that uses a variety of formats personalized to users.
|Provides data on aspects of business, such as retention rate, product adoption, and how to apply tax. Financial analysis can assist in interpreting data and suggesting other areas of data collection.
The customer training team working together decides on the program goals, works through technology infrastructure (build or buy), surveys customers, collects and analyzes data, and decides how to optimize training content to get those desired ROI/VOI results.
Companies provide some learning for free and leverage it to move customers to fee-based training that is more in-depth and developed for different roles. For example, sales uses free training as a strategy at renewal time. The ratio of fee-to-free training is generally about 75 percent fee-based to 25 percent free.
If you are providing some free or fee-based customer training and want to quantify results, look at comparison data between those customers who took or bought training and those that did not. Examine:
Because the extended enterprise market of customer and partner learning is young, vendors and companies have not yet explored all that can be done with this kind of technology. The results may not be all numbers-based. Even now, some companies are looking at gaining broader value from customer training by:
Salesforce has developed and marketed training successfully using a team approach. They say that training is core to customer success with their customer relationship management product.
Internal data showed the company that customers who invested in training on an ongoing basis got 80 percent higher ROI on their Salesforce investment. customer training provides education throughout the ecosystem, starting with an introduction to the platform and continuing with more advanced—and more appropriate—learning as users become more familiar with the product. The outcome: Numerous customers have chosen to build solutions on the Salesforce platform.
Although customer education is still in its early stages and company data isn't plentiful, findings from research firms shows that it's working. Even as far back as 2010 research data showed that the #1 factor in company loyalty was to reduce customer effort. This is testament to the importance of providing the right learning—easily accessible, short and to-the-point. customer training wins by providing additional revenue to companies, more brand-loyal customers, more use of product by customers, and an overall better customer experience.
Remember: Customers engage in learning voluntarily. They will access the content you provide and ask for more only if they know about it and the learning offerings help them understand and use the product to increase their productivity. Learning needs to continue through the customer lifecycle, leading to a closer relationship and solid brand affinity between the customer and vendor.

|Stafford Sheriff's Office Arrests Wanted Suspect
|By Public Information Officer Amanda Vicinanzo
|December 2, 2019
Stafford VA. A woman wanted out of Fairfax was arrested last week by deputies with the Stafford County Sheriff's Office following an incident involving a disabled vehicle causing a traffic disruption.
On November 27, 2019, at approximately 1:11 a.m., Deputy Martin encountered a vehicle stopped partially in the northbound lanes of the 1700 block of Jefferson Davis Highway creating a traffic hazard. He identified the driver as Joanetta King, 25, of Stafford. King acknowledged she had run off the road, damaging the car, and stopped as a result. Deputy Martin observed King to be unsteady on her feet with slow speech.
A check of King's information revealed an active Capias warrant in Fairfax. She was subsequently charged with DUI, driving revoked and the Fairfax warrant and incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $3,000 secured bond.
While deputies were with King at the side of the road, a second vehicle stopped nearby and a passenger exited and began walking toward the scene. Deputies told her to return to her vehicle, but she continued to stand nearby in a lane of travel. Deputy Philippsen and Deputy Connelly then approached the passenger and identified her as Delon Bennett, 26, of Falls Church.
Deputies detected the odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle Bennett had just exited. Marijuana was located in several locations inside the vehicle. Bennett was subsequently released on a summons for possession of marijuana.

Probably need to clean up the wording, but we should be adding information about which other species have this species as a requirement. --Jimmcq 13:08, 1 December 2006 (EST)
Suggested here: http://www.vivapinataforum.com/showpost.php?p=12886
The following wording would match the Garden Item uses:
- Eating 1 Whirlm helps meet the Sparrowmint Romance requirements.
- Eating 2 Whirlms helps meet the Fudgehog Resident requirements.
- Romancing 2 Whirlms helps meet the Sparrowmint Resident requirements.
- Whirlms in the garden helps meet the Sparrowmint Appear and Visit requirements.
- 4 Whirlms in the garden helps meet the Fudgehog Visit requirements.
--FeralKitty 14:55, 1 December 2006 (EST)
I think we should stick with the same format, but should we order it Appear, Visit, Romance? --The Claw 15:03, 1 December 2006 (EST)
Would it be advantagous to add information on what Whirlms can wear here, i'm not sure of a good format, but i figure that the Whirlm is the easiest to test things on. Quazmo 13:56, 7 December 2006 (EST)
That would be a good thing to consider, right now we are working out details for the accessories page, and we need to include what a species can wear. Either having the list here and a link from Accessories; or vise versa. Prices and Pictures are also something that would like to be added, we need to settle on a place and format for all of these things. --The Claw 16:29, 7 December 2006 (EST)
The following is a proposed addition:
What Whirlms Can Wear
a + indicates items obtainable from DLC.
Head slot
Eyes slot
Ears slot
Nose slot
Mouth slot
Neck slot
Body slot
Quazmo 17:33, 7 December 2006 (EST)
I really don't think we need to relist all accessories on every species page... For now I'd just stick with a simple note that says something like: Whirlms can't wear accessories in the feet slot. --Jimmcq 17:54, 7 December 2006 (EST)
Maybe just optimal wear then? The most valuable you can make a pinata? --Quazmo 18:07, 7 December 2006 (EST)
That would be good information to have. --Jimmcq 18:33, 7 December 2006 (EST)
Um, I might as well ask this. But I thought that there can be little info for wild card pinatas, like... a small place to say that Whirlms have bumps on their back when they are a wild card pinata. Just an idea... sorry. (Crystal frizzlybear 22:42, 1 March 2007 (EST))
Thats a great idea, a Section for wild card describtion. Go ahead and add it Crystal. The Claw 09:35, 2 March 2007 (EST)
I tried to add an image and text info in that green table thingy, but no.. nothing works. Could I just go to the Wild Card page and copy the Whirlm thing and it's table coding or something? (Crystal frizzlybear 18:39, 2 March 2007 (EST))
That is a good idea... Something as simple section under the last one (Whirlm Uses) that looks like this would be tight:
Whirlm WildCard Attribute
- Spikes on Back
But, I also like the idea of getting the info in the green info bar too.~ Kaya 19:20, 2 March 2007 (EST)
The green info box is part of a template, lets just add another section to the page like Kaya did above. The Claw 19:37, 2 March 2007 (EST)

Crossing guard OK after being struck outside Lang Ranch School in Thousand Oaks
A crossing guard was struck outside of Lang Ranch School in Thousand Oaks just before 8:30 a.m. Friday, authorities said.
Capt. Jose Rivera, of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, said the 75-year-old crossing guard was hit from behind at a slow speed in the area of Whitechapel Place and Knightbridge Avenue.
The crossing guard, who was in the crosswalk, suffered a scrape on his hand and a sprained wrist from breaking the fall. He refused medical transport to be examined further.
Rivera said the driver exited a sport utility vehicle after striking the man and then got back in the vehicle and drove away. The captain said deputies will follow up on the search for the driver.
Classes started at 8:25 a.m. at the Thousand Oaks school for children from kindergarten to fifth grade, according to the school's website.
This school year, crossing guards have been injured in at least two other incidents. In Simi Valley, one crossing guard was struck and killed and another seriously injured as they helped outside elementary schools.
