High tide sees no homes topple onto beach at Hemsby as MP calls for sea defence action
PUBLISHED: 08:34 20 March 2018 | UPDATED: 10:47 20 March 2018
Archant © 2018
The high tide has come and gone at Hemsby without causing the imminent destruction of the erosion threatened homes on the Marrams.
There were three homes perilously dangling over the cliff tops as of 9.15pm last night.
The situation is being monitored from the Hemsby Lifeboat Station and an on call member said no homes had toppled over as yet, but that could happen in the foreseeable future.
A total of 13 homes have been evacuated on the Marrams, with the properties deemed as uninhabitable.
Great Yarmouth MP Brandon Lewis, who is due to visit the village on Friday, has commentated on the situation.
He said: "It's horrendous to see the damage the sea and weather can do and I'd like to pay tribute to the amazing local community, volunteers, the Parish Council, Hemsby lifeboat, Great Yarmouth Borough Council, in particular Cllr Graham Plant and Cllr James Bensley, and the emergency services, all who have been phenomenal in dealing with the situation in Hemsby.
"I've been working with the local community for a number of years to look at a scheme that will work to delay the coastal erosion, there are a some issues with this, but the bottom line is that we need the Environment Agency to agree a suitable scheme and the local authority to give it planning permission so we can go forwards and seek funding. We do need to get on with this, as the problems are now occurring every few years, rather than once in a generation.
"My advice to residents is do please continue to follow the advice of the emergency services and please be assured that the community are working together to find safe and secure accommodation for those affected, and is working on providing longer term protection of our coastline."

I have been working on this recipe for some time. The first chocolate cupcakes I tried to make were a little bit too bitter. So, I realized that there wasn´t enough sweetness. However, it quite often depends on the chocolate. You can use the same recipe but the results might be different because of different chocolate. The best thing is to try the mixture, to make sure that the sweetness is balanced. Also, the right cooking time is essential. If you overcook them, then they will be dry. Remember that they will keep cooking a little bit when they are out of the oven!
Chocolate Cupcakes
About 6 bigger cupcakes
- 70 g hazelnut flour (or just well blend hazelnuts in a food processor)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 200 g dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips (you can look for organic and sugar-free one)
- 1 dl honey (you can add some more, it depends on how sweet is the chocolate)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (without coconut taste)
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts (I used almonds)
- 2 medium avocado, de-seeded and peeled
- 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cocoa butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp dark cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts (I used almonds)
- Preheat the oven to 175° C/ 347° F.
- Mix together hazelnut meal, baking powder and salt. Add honey and coconut oil. Mix well.*
- Melt chocolate in a water bath and add it to the mixture. Add eggs and nuts and just mix with a spoon until combined.**
- Pour the mixture into big muffin cases which are on a muffin pan (butter the muffin cases with coconut oil).
- Bake it for 20 minutes until it stays together and the toothpick comes out quite clean. ***
- Let it cool down completely and it will set properly when it has cooled down to room temperature.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, make the icing. Blend all the icing ingredients until smooth. Cool the icing for 2-3 minutes in a fridge. Use a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes with icing and nuts.
* Don´t use mixer while making these cupcakes. The cakes don´t need a lot of air inside the mixture. They should rise and the texture should be a little bit like fudge in the middle. Just mix it with a spoon until combined.
** Don´t overwork the mixture, the key is to mix as less as possible.
*** Don´t overcook them! When you check the mixture then it shouldn´t move around, but it should still be moist inside. It´s quite hard to understand it at the first time. But you will get it over time and when you know your oven or even for the first time.

Cleveland Ace Deluxe Price Dropped
Modified On Mar 20, 2019 By Praveen M. for Cleveland Cyclewerks Ace
From Rs 2.23 lakh, the price of the Ace Deluxe has gone down to Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom)
- The price drop of Rs 38,000 applies only to first 200 customers
- Post that, the price will go back to Rs 2.23 lakh (ex-showroom)
- The Misfit's price remains the same, at Rs 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Bookings are open online at Rs 8000 for the Ace Deluxe and Rs 10,000 for the Misfit
Cleveland Cycle Werks (CCW) has slashed the price of its entry-level motorcycle, the Ace Deluxe by Rs 38,000. However, the price cut is effective only for the first 200 customers and after that it will be hiked back to the actual pricing of Rs 2.23 lakh (ex-showroom).
This move is a bid to attract more customers, especially considering the fact that the brand is relatively less popular in the country. The Misfit's price however, remains the same at Rs 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom). It has a cafe racer design, whereas the Ace has the quintessential standard retro look. The motorcycles are available for booking online- at Rs 8000 for the Ace and Rs 10,000 for the Misfit.
Commenting on the initiative, Pranav T Desai, CEO, Cleveland Cyclewerks India said, "200 bikes were part of our very first lot and so we wanted to give a surprise to our first set of valuable customers who have appreciated Cleveland Cyclewerks bikes and believe in us. At this point in time, this is our way of welcoming our first round of customers and going forward we plan to bring along more offers keeping in mind our customers across the country. This is a gesture from Cleveland Cyclewerks to the first 200 customers who have shown their faith in the brand even before our bike is out in the market. This was a surprise move for not only our customers but also for Dealers who have come forward and supported us. As a customer-centric brand we are constantly trying to connect with our customers and their needs and in the near future we will definitely continue to come up with such innovative offers for our customers."
The Ace Deluxe employs a 229cc air-cooled single-cylinder carburetted engine. The motor produces 15.2PS at 7000rpm and 16Nm at 6000rpm. All that power is sent to the rear wheel via a 5-speed transmission.
As far as braking is concerned, there's no ABS. It makes do with 298mm front an 210mm rear discs. Suspension bits include inverted forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Even with the price cut, the CCW Ace Deluxe doesn't really have any rivals with the same displacement. CCW's products enter the country via CKD route from China, and Hyderabad-based Laish Madison Motor Werks assembles the motorcycles in the country.

23 thoughts on "Thought for the week: What if we grew every day?"
yes,we do grow everyday by 1/2 a centimetre.
We do grow everyday. I guess we grow 0.1 to 0.5 centimetres each day. We even grow whilst we are sleeping!
if we grew every day with would be tall
sorry i said it wrong when i said with i meant we
If we grew everyday we would be very tall but if we grew to much then our hearts would be to small for our bodies and we could die like what happened to the tallest man in the world.
I think it will be hard to know where everyone is.
if we grew every day we will be very tall and also we really couldn't see the ground at all and it will be difficult for every one to see each other
I like to think that we do grow each day; intellectually.
If we grew everyday we would be giants !!!!!!!!
If we grow every day we won't be able to do many things or live in a house because you will be to tall to go into different rooms.
If we grew everyday, we will taller than a giant or taller than the sky.
If we grew everyday then we could touch the sky also we won't be able to go to the cinema because you would be to tall.
Be taller than a giant
If we grew everyday we would be able to touch the sky also you wouldn't be able to the cinema because you would be to tall.
If we grew every day, when it is sunny the sun will be shining in your face.
I we grew every day we would be so tall and reach up to the sky. In addition to that we will see heaven or we might even be taller then the world.
Then when we are older we will probaly be able to touch the sky and if we didn't grow every day the we will probably be as small as a baked bean.
If we grew every day we will be giants in a month. If we grew everyday soon we will be to big for this planet and have to live somewhere else.
If we grow up everyday,we might pass away and not enjoy our moment of living life.
We would die from our. heads being up in space with no oxygen
If we grew every day ,we would not be able to see people because someone could be taller than overs
how would we speek to people if we cant see them.
Because what if your talking and they dont here you
you would have to shout your hart out
I just like how tall i am now i prefer the way i am.]][

We leave Puno after breakfast. We will be driven across the Altiplano to arrive in Cusco in the early evening. The word Altiplano is the Spanish for high plain and in this case it is the area where the Andes are the widest. It is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside Tibet.
We drive through sleepy villages and stop in Pukara, a small town known across Peru for its archeologic site of Pukara. Opposite Santa Isabel, perched on the Plaza de Armas, is a small local museum with interesting exhibits and it appears that Pukara is the centre for the production of the ceramic cow decorations. Known as "Torito de Pucara" they are placed for good luck, crop and livestock fertility and of course to bring prosperity.
Our next stop is Rach'i, an Inca archaeological site. This site was built by the Incas as a control point on the main road originating from Cusco and ran to two other sections of the Inca Empire. It has a lot of buildings and ruins but the most important one is the Temple of Wiracocha. Wiracocha was according to Inca beliefs to be a giver of life, the creator god that according to mythology created the sun and moon.
We enjoy typical Peruvian food in the form of a buffet in the town of Sicuani.
We visit the white washed church of San Pedro Apostol in Andahuaylillas. The dazzling collection of colourful murals, coffered and painted ceilings and an ornate gold-leaf altar, earned it the name of The Sistine Chapel of the Andes.
We arrive in Cusco just as the Sun finished its "Good Night" display. It was a long and exciting day and we are happy to check into Wakapunku Boutique Hotel.

These grills are made out of everything from boats, to hot tubs, to R2-D2
Summer's here, and, to ensure you feel bad about more than just your physique, we now present a list of some of the craziest versions of the very things that will make you feel bad about your physique: BBQ grills that look like guns, cars, and R2-D2. They're all better than your Weber.
Woody's Smokehouse's Smoking Gun
There're smoking guns, and then there're smoking guns. This is the latter, and it belongs to Woody's Smokehouse in Centerville, TX, where they use it for smoking a ton of meat and for scaring the crap outta Woody's daughter's dates.
Barbecue Dining Boat
This sweet Barbecue Dining Boat comes with a built-in grill, plenty of storage for food and booze, and a motor so you can move to a part of the lake not overrun by teenagers asking if they can have your food and booze. You can totally buy this, too, right here
The Ultimate Smoker & Grill
Everything's bigger in Texas, right? For decades, Trace Arnold went about earning the nickname "The Rib Whisperer" and used some Guinness-record-having grills along the way. For this, though, he upped his game with an 18-wheeler that, at any given moment, can smoke up to 2000lbs of meat. The 20ft lid has to be hydraulically lifted, and it's got plenty of TVs and even room for a DJ. As Trace puts it: "Think of us like a Goodyear blimp, but parked firmly on the ground." Also, please don't use heavy flames on a Goodyear blimp. Check it out right here
The worst thing about throwing a pool party is when Chaz shows up. The second is that, while you're tending the coals, all the girls in bikinis are over in the hot tub, frolicking without you. So some brilliant folks in the Netherlands put the two together into one transportable grill-slash-hot-tub hybrid. The coals sit inside a series of tubes that flow water through them to heat the tub; simply throw a grill on top and cook your T-bone at the same time. Oh, right -- it also sucks when T-Bone shows up to the pool party. That dude! Get one, like, right now
Hemi Grill
A few years back, Chrysler had a competition to see who could build the most badass non-car using a Hemi motor. This entry somehow didn't win, but who cares? It's actually powered by a 5.7-liter Hemi V8, uses over 330sqft of steel, and can cook two hundred and forty hot dogs in three minutes, while the hybrid version can barely cook three Tofurkey dogs.
Klose BBQ Pits' Custom Rig
Stainless steel sinks with brass faucets, satellite TV, beer coolers, wireless headsets with radio in one ear and TV in the other, knife sharpeners, and solar panel rechargers for all the electrics so there's no generator. In the words of the guy who made it, "It came out nice." He does all sorts of custom ish; check out his works, right here.
Haseform Schwenkgrill Edelstahl
This stainless number from Germany literally hangs over a heat source and lets your food swing... for some reason! Plus, it's got a special set of ribs to catch and evaporate grease without letting it drip. Like with actual swinging, Google Translate says, "The grill pan makes men happy! And the whole family sick!" Buy this if you want to see your food swing as it cooks
This Porsche 914 is a classic known for being super-lightweight and having an air-cooled engine... or at least it was, before its owner decided it was a little anemic and set about beefing it up. Unlike other cars turned into grills, this one's the whole frickin' auto, with meat-cooking capabilities not just at the front and rear, but in the passenger compartment, too.
The R2-BQ
The dude who built this actually runs a couple of Star Wars fan sites, owns an absolutely massive collection of memorabilia, and, um, likes to make things, like this R2 grilling unit made outta a 55-gallon drum, some paint, and more patience than even C-3PO had.

Individual, couples, and family counseling
for adults and children
People seek counseling for a myriad of reasons. Regardless of what has led you to this path, I believe that the insights you gain through counseling can result in increased understanding of yourself. Counseling is a safe place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and allows you the opportunity to develop and practice new ways of viewing yourself and others. I believe that no one person exists as an isolated individual. This means that people are part of a greater unit--a family community. The work that occurs in counseling results in changes not only to yourself, but your relationship with others. I utilize a person centered and cognitive behavioral approach to therapy. This means that I accept my clients as they are and help them to recognize and change disruptive and negative thought patterns so that they gain a better understanding of themselves. Some techniques may utilize cognitive restructuring, thought stopping, behavioral changes, sandplay, and EMDR.

1. Updating a series about German corporate control over the American media, this broadcast deals with the entry of Deutsche Telekom into the American telecommunications market and the resultant influence of the company on the American media.
2. The program begins with an excerpt from FTR #235, noting fundamental differences between German corporate behavior and that of American companies. In particular, the excerpt highlights the influence on German corporate life of the remarkable and deadly Bormann organization.
When considering German corporations, it is important to remember that they are controlled by the Bormann Organization. This institution has perpetuated its power in an effective, clandestine, and deadly, Mafia-like fashion in the years since World War II. American corporations are driven by the profit motive, and coordinate policies on labor, environmental, marketing and taxation issues–they are otherwise apolitical. In contrast, German corporations (under control of the Bormann group) function as coordinated elements of international, economic and political control, not unlike the divisions in an army. Although they, too, strive to make money, profit is subordinate to the goal of German national hegemony.
3. This program (and the entire series on German corporate control over the American media) must, in turn, be understood in the context of the Nazi tract Serpent's Walk (National Vanguard Books, soft cover, copyright 1991, ISBN # 0–937944-05‑X. The book, supposedly a novel, is a blueprint for the strategic policy Nazi elements are currently pursuing. In this regard, it would resemble The Turner Diaries, also published by National Vanguard–the publishing arm of the National Alliance. This book was the role model for Timothy McVeigh & Co. in the Oklahoma City Bombing, as well as the Nazi group The Order.)
4. Deutsche Telekom's influence on the internet is of paramount importance. One of the most important tools for accessing internet content figures to be mobile telephones. (The Los Angeles Times, 7/24/2000, p. C1.) (For more on German corporate control over the internet, see FTR-242, in addition to other programs in this series.)
5. Already Europe's largest internet provider with its subsidiary T‑Online, Deutsche Telekom looms large on the horizon of this new technology. (CBS.MarkeWatch.com, 7/7/2000.)
6. The company is planning a global telecommunications offensive. (The New York Times, 7/5/2000, p. C1.)
7. This offensive will emphasize "four areas: data networking based on the Internet protocol; wireless; online services; and basic access, including broadband Internet access." (The Wall Street Journal, 7/6/2000, p. A23.)
8. Each of the company's acquisitions will be evaluated in terms of its potential for advancing Deutsche Telekom's agenda in these areas. (Idem.)
9. Much of the broadcast centers on DT's purchase of VoiceStream Wireless Corporation. Although many analysts felt that DT paid too much for the Seattle-based firm, Voice-Stream uses the GSM technology, used by most European companies. (The San Francisco Examiner, 7/25/2000, p. C‑1.)
10. It is viewed as being "one to two years ahead of other cell phone networks in the United States." (Ibid., p. C‑3.) It is important to bear in mind that Deutsche Telekom is controlled by the German Government, which owns more than 50% of its shares! (The exact figure is put at between 56 and 58%, depending on the source.)
11. Next, the program recapitulates another excerpt from FTR 235, discussing the European Union. In addition to representing a fundamental incursion on American sovereignty (the United States is not represented in the European Union), the EU's influence on American corporate practice can serve as a vehicle for German economic hegemony. (Mr. Emory's observations in this context should not be misinterpreted as an endorsement of economic globalization or concentration of economic power. Rather, they should be understood as analysis of the geo-political implications of undercurrents within these important, and on-going, economic phenomena.)
12. In addition to pressure from the U.S. Department of Justice over potential monopolistic overtones to the deal, the recent cancellation of the WorldCom-Sprint merger stemmed, in part, from opposition by the EU. This cancellation may facilitate the takeover of either WorldCom or Sprint by Deutsche Telekom. (The New York Times, 6/27/2000, p. C2.)
13. A number of Senators introduced legislation intended to block the purchase of an American telecommunications firm by any company with more than 25 % of its shares owned by a foreign government. (The Los Angeles Times, 7/25/2000, pp. A1, 9.)
14. Some analysts view this legislation as retaliation for the EU's role in deep-sixing the WorldCom-Sprint merger. (Idem.)
15. The European Union, in turn, has threatened to withdraw from the WTO, if the Senate blocks the Deutsche Telekom purchase of VoiceStream. (Financial Times, 7/22–23/2000, p. 1; Financial Times, 7/26/2000, p. 7.)
16. The EU's stance on this matter further underscores that institution's role as a vehicle for German corporate hegemony. Not surprisingly, the German government has also vigorously protested against the pending legislation. (The Financial Times, 7/27/2000, p. 7.)
17. Echoing Mr. Emory's warnings about German corporate hegemony, A. Michael Noll (a professor and former dean at USC's Annenberg School for Communications) has characterized the Deutsche Telekom/VoiceStream deal as "the colonialism and imperialism of the past." (The Los Angeles Times, 7/26/2000, p. A17.)
18. Noll also points out that Deutsce Telekom's stock is greatly overvalued, and that the overvalued stock is the vehicle for its projected purchases of other corporations. (Idem.)
19. As mentioned above, the potential targets for takeover by DT include both WorldCom (New York Times, 7/28/2000, p. C4) and Sprint (The Wall Street Journal, 7/28/2000, p. B6). Again, the WorldCom/Sprint merger was blocked, in part, by the EU. The German government's argument on behalf of DT's purchase of VoiceStream (and other companies) is predicated the notion that these purchases will dilute the government stake in the company.
20. The history of Deutsche Telekom and other German companies suggests that DT's actions may, in practice, turn out to be anti-competitive, their disclaimers to the contrary notwithstanding. (The New York Times, 7/24/2000, p. A8.)
21. A close examination of DT's sell-off of its cable licenses in Germany strongly suggests that its business may continue "as usual." Despite the sell-off of the cable licenses, DT retained effective control behind the scenes, selling the licenses to small companies, including a relatively mysterious individual named Gary A. Klesch. (The New York Times, 7/26/2000, p C1.) Virtually unknown, even in the telecommunications industry, the London-based Klesch is characteristic of the type of individual that is frequently utilized by the Bormann group. This suggests the possibility that that organization looms large in the background of DT's sell-off of its cable licenses.
22. In order to combat the Hollings-sponsored legislation, Deutsche Telekom has retained the powerful Washington law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering. (The Wall Street Journal, 7/21/2000, p. A9.)
23. In an excerpt from FTR 139, the program highlights the recent addition of Matthias Wissman, the treasurer of the CDU party in Germany (and a former transport minister) to Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering. (Financial Times, 3/2/99.)
24. The program also notes that Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering had represented Swiss banks in a lawsuit filed by Holocaust victims against Swiss banks, as well as acting as counsel for German corporations being sued over their use of slave labor in World War II. (Idem.) This connection also suggests the presence of the Bormann group in the background of the lawsuits, as well as in the DT machinations. It should be noted that, as treasurer of the CDU, Wissman must have had first hand knowledge of the CDU funding scandal discussed in FTR-193. (This scandal, as well, may involve the Bormann organization.)
25. Next, the broadcast discusses the national security implications of allowing foreign governmental monopolies to purchase American telecommunications firms. Some analysts disclaim the notion that DT could present a national security threat to the United States. (The Los Angeles Times, 7/25/2000, p. A1.)
26. The program recapitulates yet another excerpt of FTR-235, in which Mr. Emory reiterates his fear that DT's penetration of the American telecommunications market could facilitate the ability of German intelligence and the Underground Reich to tap Americans' phones. A recent case in El Salvador underscored the possibilities of such an occurrence. A subsidiary of France Telecom (the French telecommunications firm) was apparently involved in tapping phones of private citizens in that Central American republic. (Financial Times, 7/25/2000, p. 6.)
27. In this context, it is worth noting that there is significant capital participation in France Telecom by Deutsche Telekom. (Financial Times, 5/24/2000, p. 18.)
28. It should also be noted that there is a direct connection between the German government and the Oklahoma City bombing. (Recorded on 8/20/2000.)

Mini Dolphins
The Mini Dolphins program is for 6 and under swimmers that are still learning to swim and are not quite ready to participate in swim meets. Swimmers will be instructed in all strokes. The goal is to have all mini dolphins swimming in meets as soon as they are ready, at the coaches recommendations. All mini dolphins are invited to participate in all other team social activities. We encourage you to attend meets with your child so they can understand what a swim meet is all about.
New this year: Swim assessments are required for new Mini Dolphins, new 6&Us, and swimmers who were Mini Dolphins last summer. The coaches will conduct assessments to make sure that swimmers are ready to participate in a swim team environment and to place children at the correct level for practices.
Families that only have Mini Dolphin swimmer(s) are required to:
Follow the Responsibilities: including the Fundraising Requirement and Work Assignment Deposit (see tab for more detailed information) except that:
- They only need to Work a minimum of 2 work assignments at Home Dual Swim Meets.
- Attend the Swim Meet Orientation/Time Trials on May 18, 2019 (or any home dual meet prior to the mini dolphin family working their first work assignment)
- Mini Dolphins do not participate in the invitationals therefore they do not need to work 2 invitational assignments
- Mini Dolphins do not typically participate in the Concord City Meet. If your Mini Dolphin is asked to participate in either of these meets and you agree to your mini dolphin swimming in the Concord City Meet, then you will be required to work at any meet your mini dolphin swims in.

If you are using a computer system then you should be aware of technology change in the digital world. To access any information of any organisation or now we are using our payment method through web browsers. In that case If you are running an older outdated web browser,So you are not enjoying the browsing experience and you should be.
In all outdated browsers you are also opening yourself up to security vulnerabilities, which could compromise your computer.This is especially true in older versions of Internet Explorer. For Example If you have Internet Explorer 9 or lower, you should upgrade.
Now Let me tell you, why you exactly need to update your browsers. There are major four reasons on which we will discuss.
1. Website Compatibility :
New website technologies are often only supported by newer browsers. As businesses updated their websites utilizing these new web technologies, older browsers will not function properly and will not be able to display parts of the website.
2. Security Risks :
A compromised web browser could make your personal information public. A compromised system could permit the download of key logging software, which could record and transmit any data that you type. More about keyloggers here. Vulnerable browsers may also facilitate the download of spyware that can capture passwords, credit card numbers and screenshots to pass along to hackers.
3. A Faster and More Responsive Browsing Experience :
Every web page that loads in a browser triggers it to perform a number of different tasks. One of these tasks is loading component files. These files include images, programming scripts, and other resources that help improve the look and functionality of the website you're visiting. Old browsers do not perform these tasks with the same speed as new browsers. This makes your experience on the Web considerably slower, and can sometimes cause your browser to crash or freeze.
4. Security Issues Affect Mac and Windows Users :
Browser vulnerabilities affect both PC and Mac computers. In May of 2011, Firefox released a new version of its browser to resolve a security flaw, which could have allowed hackers to take control of computers running Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac OSX. Don't let your browser be the weak link in your efforts to secure your computer.
Now, Let us Discuss, How we can update our major using web browsers
Getting an Internet browser is easy. Internet Explorer comes pre-installed with Windows, and Safari comes with Apple operating systems. Firefox and Chrome can be downloaded and installed by visiting their respective Web sites (using another browser).
To Update Google Chrome :
On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More More.
Click Update Google Chrome. If you don't see this button, you're on the latest version.
Click Relaunch.

For more information about chrome update click here.
To Update Mozilla Firefox :
Click the menu button New Fx Menu , click help Help-29 and select About Firefox.

What Price Phone Security?
Following attacks on mobile phone masts by a militant group, the Nigerian chief of police has ordered a round the clock guard on all telecom installations. The damage to the masts themselves is estimated to run into £millions but the true cost to Nigeria will be even higher as the lack of phone signal hits businesses.
According to the BBC, the chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecom Companies of Nigeria, Gbenga Adebayo, said that it had been "difficult to provide uninterrupted services". Areas directly affected were without service and even areas on the fringes were suffering from overload. Nigeria is estimated to have over ninety million mobile phone users.
This episode serves to highlight how much we have come to depend on mobile and telephone systems. The lack of a phone line for whatever reason can have serious consequences for any business and should be a prime consideration in any business continuity plan. Depending on the size of the organisation, plans can include alternate landlines, differing mobile operators as well as satellite coverage.
At the heart of any disaster recovery plan sits the need for maintaining communication links. This will include switching phones to an alternate office or site or even to a home line or mobile. Add in a telephone message service which can be updated as often as required so that employees, suppliers and customers are kept fully in the picture. To provide two way communications consider a recordable voice mail service.
But even if the phone lines have not gone down, phones can still play an important part in business continuity planning. For example if winter snow has closed roads then those few employees who do manage to reach the office will have their hands full in dealing with customer queries, checking on staff welfare and coping with the "must do" daily tasks. Putting a telephone emergency plan into place could allow for selective extension diverts to employees working from home, voice messages and customisable messaging or even switching phone answering to a virtual receptionist service.
It is often only when we hear tales of phones being disrupted that we become aware of our own vulnerability. Taking action now to put a robust disaster plan into place could pay dividends in the long term. Hopefully the plan will never be needed but with the winter approaching and reports of phone cable thefts on the rise it is better to be safe than without a phone.

I opened the door into the house, closing the garage door as I passed. Then, I flipped the light switch and the light turned on. I carried my purse upstairs and set it on the chair.
Once I finished what I needed to in the kitchen, I grabbed the vacuum and carried it upstairs, flipping two lights switches and bright light following.
Now this whole experience was very exciting. Why you ask? Well, my ceilings, especially along the stairs, are very tall. I am very short. So, when a light bulb goes out, the light stays off. But now I have a tall fiancé and so…Let there be light! 💡

We loved the look of the shiplap in our kitchen SO much that we decided to carry it through into the dining room! The shiplap brings a much brighter and cleaner look to our farmhouse dining room and for less than $500 it gave us a lot of bang for our buck! The shiplap is of course not painted, chalked and the nail holes are not covered up yet but I wanted to share our dining room shiplap with you guys before next year, ha!
Shiplap in the Dining Room
*this post contains affiliate links for more information check out my disclosure page here*
One of my favorite changes from our recent kitchen remodel is how we opened up the wall between the kitchen and dining room and added a kitchen island. The island helps with overflow seating and table space when we have big family gatherings in the dining room.
We decided to add the shiplap to the dining room to make the two rooms seem more connected and open. The shiplap really brightens up the space and hides the bumpy wallpapered & plastered walls of our 1800's farmhouse. Bonus, it also adds a layer of insulation to our very drafty home. Believe it or not we have already noticed a difference!
This is also the first time I have ever had neutral walls in my dining room! (you can read more about that here)
We found the shiplap at Lowes, (https://www.lowes.com/pd/PrimeLinx-Shadow-Gap-Shiplap-5-375-in-x-12-ft-White-Radiata-Pine-Wood-Shiplap-Wall-Plank/1000209619). For some reason, Lowes only sells the shiplap at it's Philly stores. So we had to drive into the city to buy it.
The sides are tongue and groove making it really easy to install. It also comes pre-primed so you can wait a few days (or a few months) before feeling like you have to paint it!
We installed the shiplap in sections using a finish nailer to attach the boards to the walls. The easy cuts I did myself while Jason cut the more challenging ones like around the electrical outlets.
You can really see what a mess this room was from our before pics. Notice the original wallpaper we found under the crown and baseboard.
You can also see what a difference the white shiplap makes next to the dark paint we added just a few years ago.
This room has really come a LONG way in the 5 years we have lived here!
I will be sharing a full reveal of our dining room once the room is painted.
We truly feel blessed to have such an amazing space to share a meal in.
It won't be long before this room will be ready to host Thanksgiving!

Rising employment, sales and profits have been reported by the region's business leaders in the latest Entrepreneurs' Forum survey.
North East entrepreneurs are reporting increased employment, sales and profits from the third quarter of 2014, according to the results of the latest survey of forum members.
The Entrepreneurs' Forum Business Tracker Survey, covering the third quarter of 2014, saw positivity throughout key indicators.
However, confidence in the economy was seen to be at its lowest level since quarter one of 2013, with only 37% of members who responded saying they were more confident than three months previously.
Compared with the figures for the same quarter in 2013, a positive picture of all aspects of business was painted, including sales, profits, employment, wages, prices and spending.
Finding and recruiting quality staff remained the number one barrier to growth identified by respondents, followed by sales and red tape.
Meanwhile, confidence in their own business was also down among some members, with those stating they were less confident in their own enterprise rising from 3% in quarter two to 8% in quarter three.
Forum chairman Nigel Mills said: "The outlook amongst entrepreneurs in the North East is still high, as you would expect from a group of individuals whose positivity and enthusiasm is a driving force for the economy.
"In a quarter which included such anomalies as the Scottish independence referendum, and with a General Election on the horizon, it is to be expected that there is a slight ebb in confidence among others, but it is important to note that 87% of respondents said they were as confident in the economy or more so than previously, reflected by 92% when asked about their own businesses.
"The main challenges remain the same, in that recruitment is far and away the greatest barrier faced by our members. These are strong businesses, which are looking to grow, but that growth must be based upon bringing in people of quality, as well as quantity."
Looking forward to the fourth quarter, optimism remains high, with 70% of respondents expecting overall sales to rise, and 85% believing actual profits will increase or be maintained.

5 Reasons You Should Learn How to Trade Forex
the form bellow
There are so many reasons why you should learn how to trade forex that can help you grow your wealth over time. In this article we have meantioned the most 5 reasons why you should learn how to trade forex.
Every day, thousands of people all over the world decide to make a move into a whole new field and decide to try their hand at forex trading. Their reasons for doing this vary and their motivations are plentiful but the fact of the matter is that forex, or foreign exchange, trading is renowned for being the largest financial market in the world - even bigger than the stock market. People interested in trading are always looking at different methods and markets to trade on and forex is a market that is going from strength to strength, with more and more investors looking to use it to make a profit on their investments.
What is forex trading?
Forex trading is a type of trading where currency is exchanged from one to another as a means of making a financial profit. Those who trade in forex benefit financially from fluctuations in the value of the currency that they are trading in and use insider knowledge of the value to speculate when and how it will change. Traders do this with the end goal of making a profit on their investment. Unlike other forms of trading, people are not expected to enter the market with a high amount of capital or collateral, meaning that the market is one that is open to people from all walks of life, with all financial backgrounds.
Forex trading decisions are made based on a number of different factors. Traders use information that is readily available to them, referred to as fundamental analysis, like the news to make predictions on how the exchange markets are going to go up and down. Major financial change, such as a change to party politics or the collapse of a major company, are things to look at from a fundamental point of view when considering currency and forex trading.
An understanding of international economies is beneficial to people who intend on using fundamental analysis to aid in their trading. On the other hand, traders are also able to use technical analysis to inform their decisions- where fundamental analysis focuses on the news and things you can see explicitly, technical analysis relies on the correct interpretations of charts and the ability to recognise patterns in the price of currency. More suited to short term trading, such a technique can also be used by traders who are looking at longer termed investments.
Traders combine their knowledge using the two types of analysis, giving them more scope to invest their money reliably. Financial forecasting such as these methods have been used in forex since the very early days. All you need to do to get started with forex trading is set up a free trading account - but take the time to learn the tricks of the trade first and reduce the risk of loss of capital.

Why do people decide to trade forex?
Unlike other types of trading, forex trading is widely accessible and there are a huge proportion of traders who are normal people with bog standard 9-5 jobs. Their reasons for trading may well differ from person to person but the vast majority use forex trading as a way of earning an additional income.
They are able to learn a skill that can potentially make them a lot of money.
At the end of the day, forex trading is a skill and isn't something that can be done with both foresight and insight. Whilst there is definitely potential to make a lot of money with forex trading, there is also the risk of losing money - it is real money that you are playing around with and you should only be willing to invest the money that you can afford to lose.
The market itself can be particularly volatile and unpredictable so trading times can be especially short in terms of how long they take. Whilst it's necessary to leave money invested in stocks there for a while, this is not the case where forex trading is concerned.
Forex traders can be in and out of the market within a matter of minutes, meaning that profit can be achieved relatively quickly if approached from the right perspective. Because of the market's volatility, you are fully aware of the fact that you are looking to get rid of your asset and there will always be someone who is willing to part with some of their money to acquire this asset from you - holding onto your capital in a market like this one does not make good business sense. With all of this in mind, here are 5 reasons you should learn how to trade forex.

It's a different approach to saving - don't let your pennies rot away in the bank.
Generally speaking, when saving money, the done thing is to set up a savings account of some type with a higher interest rate and to gradually move your money across on a monthly basis. Benefits here lie in the risk-free nature of the transaction but at the end of the day, the amount of money that you're gaining by doing this is minimal compared to the money you could make if you invested your money in something a little less traditional.
Realistically, if you are choosing to invest your money in a savings account, you are actually losing money - taking a different approach and learning the odds and ends behind forex trading may well be a method of increasing your income and boosting your savings exponentially.
It's a secondary source of income - making ends meet has never been easier.
Whilst most people have the security blanket of having a full-time position, the average person would argue that they would be silly to turn down the opportunity to earn an additional income on top of this. Generally speaking, transaction costs are low, meaning that any profit you make through forex trading is yours to keep.

It gives you the financial independence you've always dreamed of.
Whilst starting off can be difficult, once you've established yourself and have begun to truly understand the art of forex trading, then there is a scope to make it full-time if you want to. If you find that you're doing well with trading, then deciding to take the leap and invest more time and energy in it could be a way of gaining the financial independence you've been craving.
Getting to a position where forex trading becomes a full-time job is by no means an easy feat, but the best things are the ones that take the longest to achieve - if you are willing to work hard and feed that desire to learn, then you may find that you can make a career out of forex trading. If you're expecting to have instant results, then perhaps forex trading is not the one for you.

It's flexible earning.
Forex trading is flexible earning in the sense that all you need in order to do it is internet access and a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Whether you're lying on the beach, sat in a coffee shop or else wanting something to fill your time in the evenings after you get home from your 9-5, it has never been easier to earn an additional income than it is nowadays. In spite of this, being a forex trader does not necessarily mean that you have to spend all day attached to your computer - economic calendars, for example, give traders the opportunity to plan when and where they will trade, giving them the freedom to live outside of their investment and their computer screens.
The market itself never sleeps, putting you in a very good position - you can choose exactly when you want to trade and use analytical information to work out when the best time to trade is. The vast majority of forex brokers operate online, meaning that it has never been easier to get yourself started.
I'm interested in getting stuck into the forex market - what do I do next?
If all of this sounds like something that you'd be interested in getting involved in, then you can sign up for a free forex trading course and find out if you have what it takes to develop yourself into a trader. It's important to remember that, as is the case with the vast majority of career paths, being a successful forex trader isn't something that will come easy, and dedication to the cause, inside knowledge and willingness to career out integral research will give you the drive to succeed.
Being a forex Trader can be a challenging and emotional experience - traders have to be able to come to terms with the idea that, at one stage or another, you will have to deal with losses. Ensuring that you have no emotional attachment to the money you are investing is one of the keys to success.
Undertaking a forex trading course through Trading Education can help you understand the tricks of the trade - the vast majority of beginners to the field fail after their first attempt because they do not take the time to start to understand how the market works and don't take into account the factors that can significantly affect their success rates. There is a process to consider when tackling the market - learn how to trade forex through one of our courses and safely navigate the complex market of forex trading.

Commission pushes ICT use for a greener Europe
As part of its effort to combat climate change and drive economic recovery, the European Commission today called on Member States and industry to use information and communications technologies (ICT) to improve energy efficiency. These technologies are expected to reduce total carbon emissions in Europe by up to 15% by 2020. ICT can not only improve monitoring and management of energy use in factories, offices and in public spaces but above all help make people more aware of how they use energy. With smart metering in their homes, for example, consumers have been found to reduce their energy consumption by as much as 10%.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is apparently a huge BlackBerry fan.
Zuckerberg was reluctant to give up his BlackBerry until 2010, when he traded it in for an iPhone, according to a new profile in Bloomberg BusinessWeek.
One source close to Facebook told BusinessWeek that's partially why Facebook has fumbled around in mobile for so long.
Facebook also botched a potential presentation of its mobile application in front of Steve Jobs at the 2008 Apple World Wide Developers Conference, according to the report.
Facebook was set to present its mobile application at WWDC in 2008, but Zuckerberg sent a marketing manager and an engineer to present it instead of doing it himself.
The audition was so bad that Jobs and other Apple executives sacked the presentation altogether, according to the report.

This represents the mass of utopian that it sees the educational without the cinematographic maquiagens and exempt process of the fantastic realism of transformation of world. To undress the professor and vestiz it with the mask of the hypocrisy is horrendo, however it brings happiness. Ignota happiness. The scene perfect and is watched so that the balance and the new roupagem of the education can disclose the fragility by means of the cameras. Perfect scenes! Real and realistic scenes.
It lacked action. To undress the professor is to encourage it of the tenuous mortgaged certainty in the education institutions. To dress the professor is to deliver it the cameras to it of day-by-day and placing it in the show window of the impensante, however dress. Well dress. The keys lock doors and windows of the educational scope and to assure total smoothness of educational vestments the hand it closes the door handle, however the eyes of the technology catch the dumb scenes. To dress the professor of the sovereignty who does not have and the patent who at least knows denotes to become it grotesco, languid, inexpressivo, ridicule, however it is possible e, worse, necessary! The measures that dress the professor not incase. Weaveeed lack. Lack decision.
Sobram surreais uncertainties, bizarrices. Naked and raw education. Rooms without professor. Pupils unprovided of the pertaining to school conscience. Can the technology catch and edit such facts? Not. The necessity is well-known of that medias are efficient without retrograde beings, human and well dresses. On the other hand, it has defames of reality educational show, therefore the queerness is in the facts of extreme relevance as daily pertaining to school. They will be made the laser or with penxs the penalty? However, the education does not become ' ' without dirios' '? Are dressed professors with the invisibilidade and evidence the daily one (only educational resource valued by the cameras)? To undress and to dress. To dress to undress the professor. To undress to dress the professor, in real time, is to provoke satirical mood, is to exaltar the mediocre form where all had been molded.

When I enthusiastically supported Jason Kander in last year's race for the 44th District, I did so because I knew he would be an energetic, creative and effective voice in a legislature that was likely to remain in Republican hands. My expectations are being met – he's constantly communicating with his constituents and actually achieving things in a republican-controlled atmosphere. Jefferson City is a viciously partisan city, but Jason has managed to win health care for kids with cancer, defend soldier's rights, and balance his sense of humor and moral indignation.
Keep up the great work, Mr. Kander!
Here's the March Top Ten List:
1. You have to be crafty with the budget.
The Democrats tried several strategies to restore healthcare for about 20,000 children. Because the Republicans control the House, each attempt failed on a party-line vote after Republican speeches called it "welfare." I'm told that no Democrat has successfully restored any funding to healthcare since the 2005 cuts. So I decided to come up with proposals that would be politically impossible to oppose.
First, I proposed giving healthcare to children who would have been covered by the Governor's plan and have been diagnosed with cancer. I paid for it by cutting funds for legislators' healthcare. Representatives had to choose between their own low premiums and helping kids with cancer. Thankfully, the amendment passed unamimously.
Next, I proposed a similar measure for children with autism. This time, I funded it by eliminating several perks provided to legislators (free coffee, special member lapel pins, and cuts to our personal expense accounts). At first, the Republicans were voting "no" but when they realized the political implications of choosing their own perks over children with autism, those in "swing districts" changed their votes and the measure passed. The Speaker of the House, the Majority Leader, and several other top Republicans actually voted to keep their coffee and lapel pins!
The next morning my desk was covered in half empty coffee cups under a "Save Us" sign. A pretty decent little prank from my colleagues.
2. Ideology is a nearly immovable force in Jefferson City.
A key point of contention during the budget debate revolved around a plan by Gov. Nixon and the Missouri Hospital Association to restore healthcare coverage to about 35,000 people at no cost to state taxpayers. The plan, which calls for the hospitals to voluntarily pay a higher tax to leverage more federal dollars, was roundly rejected by Republicans as "welfare."
The plan would not have increased taxes on a single Missourian, but that didn't stop Rep. Rob Schaaf (R – St. Joseph) from comparing government-subsidized healthcare to slavery.
3. Get to know the Committee Chair.
Last week, my bill to protect the parental rights of servicemembers passed out of the House. Though it would have been tough to get the bill passed as a stand-alone measure, the Chairman of the Veterans Committee, Rep. David Day (R – Waynesville), was a supporter and he included my legislation in an omnibus bill. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will find its way to the Governor's desk.
A hat tip on this one to Chris Vedder, a 44th District constituent and Army National Guard soldier who came to Jefferson City to testify on the bill. In the picture on the left, you can see Chris and me making our case to the Veterans Committee.
4. Pay attention to the testimony.
During budget hearings, the Attorney General's Office pointed out the expiration of federal funding for an important domestic violence program. By working with Republicans on the committee, I was able to move funds from the Office of Administration to keep the program going for another year.
Keeping the program is important in order to train state prosecutors about changes I hope to make in domestic violence law this year. Next week, I'm filing a bill to equip prosecutors with a new tool to gain short jail stints for abusers that violate protection orders.
5. Thank goodness for all the emails.
Advocates across the state did a great job letting us in the House know about the danger of the proposed cuts to Children's Treatment Services. Rep. Rachel Storch (D – St. Louis) successfully restored the enormous cuts to these programs made by House Republicans.
6. I really don't understand the priorities of House Republicans.
Though the federal stimulus funds are meant to help states keep budgets stable, Republicans are leaving $1.1 billion locked in a "magic box" for purposes unknown. We could easily have avoided cuts to vital services, restored important healthcare programs, and done more to stimulate the state's economy – but instead we again put ideology first.
I participated in a press conference at Operation Breakthrough to highlight the "magic box" problem. Coverage from KMBC 9 is available here (click on the video in the upper right corner).
7. We are going backward in education policy.
Republicans eliminated teacher professional development, the state gifted program, fine arts education, and Parents as Teachers. Every Democratic attempt to restore the funding was shot down.
8. We haven't learned from our mistakes.
Republicans rejected a Democratic effort to force lawmakers to keep a promise to Missouri voters and require that new casino gambling revenue generated by a recently approved statewide ballot measure results in additional funding for the state's public school districts and doesn't simply replace existing funding.
As Republican leaders structured the budget, the estimated $108 million in Proposition A funds is being used to free up general revenue for other purposes. State Rep. Rachel Bringer (D-Palmyra) attempted to undo the gambling money shell game, but her efforts failed on a largely party-line 70-89 vote.
Voters endorsed Proposition A in November with 56.2 percent support. The measure lifted Missouri's casino loss limit, slightly increased taxes on casino operators and contained a provision prohibiting the new revenues from replacing general revenue set aside for education.
9. There is such a thing as political arson.
I sit on the budget committee with Rep. Denny Hoskins (R-Warrensburg). During committee Rep. Hoskins voted to eliminate the "Meals on Wheels" program. I voted to keep it, but my side lost. When the bill reached the floor of the House, Rep. Hoskins had several amendments to put funding into the program. With each amendment, he got the funding by eliminating the funding for several members of Gov. Nixon's administration.
Many of the people he attempted to cut just happened to have been supportive of the Governor's campaign. Hoskins then took credit for saving "Meals on Wheels" and portrayed people like me, who voted against this scheme, as opponents of "Meals on Wheels."
To me, this is a classic case of burning down the building so that you can rebuild it with the wrong bricks.
10. Beware of misleading titles.
Chairman of the Budget Committee, Rep. Allen Icet (R-Wildwood), proposed the "Taxpayer Bill of Rights." Every Democrat and four Republicans voted against it, but it did just barely pass. Also known as TABOR, the "Taxpayer Bill of Rights" would keep the state government from ever spending 1% more than they did the year before. Colorado adopted a similar measure a few years ago and immediately regretted it.
All that the bill does for taxpayers is rob them of representation, decrease the flexibility of state government, and de-fund valuable state services. As covered in this Associated Press story, I argued that the policy reflected a wrongheaded lack of faith in government.
That's the list. Thanks for reading!

Created by Jeff Eastin, the USA Network series White Collar is coming to an end, after six seasons. In the explosive series finale, "Au Revoir," FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) gets involved in a dangerous con against the Pink Panthers, in order to help Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) pull off a risky heist. Meanwhile, Neal has designed a new plan that will serve the interest of the Pink Panthers and himself, with his goal being to permanently rid himself of an ankle bracelet and free himself of his ties to the FBI. And whether it's all resolved in the end or not, it's been a great ride, watching two very different men form a very unlikely friendship.
During this recent interview with press to talk about the series finale and what being a part of the show has meant to them, co-stars Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay talked about watching until the final second of the episode, whether they're personally satisfied with the show's ending, what it was like to do the last scenes of the last episode, what they took home from the set, why their characters had such a successful partnership, their favorite moments, what they'll miss most, what they've learned from each other, whether there might ever be a movie, and what they're looking to do, in the future. Check out what they had to say after the jump.
Question: What can you say to tease the series finale?
TIM DeKAY: Do not walk away, and I know you wouldn't anyway, but do not walk away until the final second of the episode. We've got some great twists and turns, and some wonderful moments between everybody. I think it hits on all the tones that have made White Collar what it is. There is a great familial sense to this episode. Certainly, the heist in this instance is wonderful. And many questions that people have had, throughout the seasons, will be answered.
How much input did you guys have into the series finale?
MATT BOMER: We heard a lot of ideas being bandied about, and we threw in our two cents. It ended up becoming a soup that everybody had thrown a few ingredients into. So, I don't think Tim or I could take any personal or professional responsibility for it, but they were definitely open to our input.
DeKAY: It's not as if the two of us ever sat down and said, "Hey, how are we going to end this?" It was just one of these things that came about. Throughout the process, Jeff was open to our ideas and listened to our rhythms, both as Peter and Neal, and as Tim and Matt. He was not precious with his words. I think that was a key to the show's success, at the beginning.
Are you personally satisfied with the ending for the series?
DeKAY: I'm very satisfied with the ending of the series. One can never be satisfied with the ending of a project that they loved, but creatively, since we had to end it, I feel that we gave a great, exciting twist, and an ending that I believe will surprise everyone.
BOMER: That's a complicated question because you're wrapping up so many things in such a short period of time. I was really satisfied, in some ways. In some ways, I would have been interested to explore other avenues, as well. I think there were still directions to go, but I think the way they wrapped it up was really well done, in the sense that they didn't try to tie everything up in a nice bow. They really left some things open-ended and left a lot up the viewer's imagination, which I always think is more potent than anything you could put down on a piece of paper.
How was shooting the last episode and doing those last couple of scenes? Was everybody welled up with emotion?
DeKAY: It was similar to senior week in high school, when you still had a whole bunch of finals and you had to do well in the classroom. Those were the scenes that you wanted to do well. What was interesting was that every time somebody would finish, the first AD would always make an announcement and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, that's an episode wrap on this person," and then the whole crew would applaud. For every episode, it's a nice tradition that television has. In this instance, the first AD would say, "Ladies and gentlemen, that is a series wrap on whomever." And then, of course, the tears would start flow. Each actor wanted to somewhat publicly thank the cast and crew, and just share what the series meant to them. So, that was lovely. The last shot of the series was a scene between Matt and me. We both got to speak, and everybody was crying. And then, they brought out a cake. It was lovely because the cast and crew became such a family. It was just a joy to go to work.
BOMER: It was really emotional. I'm so glad that most of us, if not all of us, were able to process a lot of that, in the moment, as opposed to just finding yourself driving down a street in L.A. five months later, and bursting into tears. It was great. I'm so grateful. It's so easy to focus on how much we'll miss everybody, and I will, but I just feel like we're all so lucky that we got to do this for six seasons. Business relationship and friendships were created that will last a lifetime. So, there's a lot more to be grateful for. then there is to be sad about.
Was there anything that you took home with you from the set to commemorate the experience?
DeKAY: There were two badges that Peter Burke had, and I took home one. I took home a number of suits because they were built for me by special tailors. And then, there was a painting that was in the hallway. I don't think anybody has ever seen it. I don't think it ever aired, except for maybe a side of the painting. But there was a painting in the hallway, in the little vestibule before you entered Neil's apartment. Neil and Mozzie had this scene, and I entered half-way through the scene. I was just waiting in that vestibule for my cue to enter, and I would look at this one painting. It's a great painting of this couple in a horse-drawn sleigh, in the snow. Within the first few episodes of the first season, I thought, "I'm going to take this home when this show ends because I like it." So, I did.
BOMER: I took a painting of a harem from Neal's apartment. I took the bust of Socrates and gave it to Jeff Eastin as a wrap gift. I also took a great antique map of Manhattan that Neal had on his wall.
Why do you think Neal and Peter were such a successful partnership?
BOMER: Because of Tim DeKay.
DeKAY: No because of Matt Bomer. His spirit, his kindness, and his grace. Honestly, I think the key to Neal and Peter certainly started with the writing. Jeff Eastin wrote these great guys. And Matt and I work extremely well together. We respect each other. and we listen to each other. I think the fun that we have working together comes across as Peter and Neal having a good time working together, as well. It's just all inherent in the writing. It's very interesting to watch these two guys that you would not think would get along, but they do. It's an unlikely partnership.
BOMER: It really did start with the writing. I knew from the first time that Tim and I read together that we had somewhat of an understanding of the yin and yang of these two people, with not only what made them different, but what made them want to be the same, in certain ways. And we were lucky enough to have Jeff, who was willing to listen to us, and we were able to listen to him and just bounce ideas off of each other. We just had a blast doing it together.
Matt, what is your favorite bromance moment between Neal and Peter?
BOMER: The one moment that really sticks out to me is the finale of the first season. I always thought that the strongest the bromance got was when Neal was about to leave and go off with Kate in the airplane. He was basically saying goodbye to Peter. And in that moment, I think he realized, for the first time in his life, that he had a friendship with someone who was actually remotely stable and had a healthy sense of boundaries and was someone who he knew that he could learn a lot about being a good human being from. That was an experience that I don't think he got with a lot of people in the world, so that moment was probably my favorite bromance moment to play.
Out of all the episodes you shot, do you have one that stands out as a favorite?
DeKAY: Well, I'd have to say the pilot, but that almost seems separate. There are some moments that I did not think would be my favorite, like during the Nazi sub episode, that I enjoyed. They were all my favorite. They're like children to me. I love them each and every one of them.
BOMER: It's like asking me which is my favorite finger. We had six years of compiled memories. It's tough to pick one thing. If I had to encapsulate one experience, it would probably be the pilot because you have a lot more time and you're establishing all these relationships, and everything is so fresh and new. That was definitely a really magical time. But this was just one of those rare jobs where there wasn't a single day that went by that I wasn't enjoying myself, if not the entire day, than most of it. It's impossible to really boil it down to just one episode or one moment.
If you guys could have played writer, are there any story arcs or adventures that you would have loved your character to go on?
BOMER: I feel like there are always a lot of directions that your character could go. But my favorite scenes the writers wrote were typically the walk-and-talks that Tim and I would have. There's so much skill involved in a scene like that, with the rhythm in New York City and filming it on an active street. I would be intimidated, as a writer, to try to even attempt that. And our entire staff did such an incredible job of capturing that camaraderie and that dynamic. Those were always my favorite. You can always think of things that could have happened or would have happened, but I was always really excited on those days, to do those scenes, because I knew something fun was going to happen and Tim was going to surprise me with something, and that we would both have a smile on our face, at the end of the scene.
DeKAY: While they were the most challenging, they were the most satisfying, once you finished them because there were a lot of factors, one of which was space. The writers always wrote much more than what was allowed, so it would be a dance of figuring out when we could stop. We were always up against the clock.
What are you going to miss the most from the show, overall?
BOMER: That's a really dense question to consolidate into a soundbite, but I would say that, personally, I'll really miss the camaraderie that we all had on set. Professionally, I'll miss getting to play such a rich character. And selfishly, I'll miss getting to wear all of those great suits.
Having spent so much time with each other, over the past few years, what have you guys learned from each other?
BOMER: I learned from Tim the kind of person I should be on set. I learned how to be a morning person, thanks to this job, because I never was, and Tim just is. And I learned a tremendous amount about acting from him. Every day, I learned something different from him, as an actor. But I also think I learned just as much about how to handle yourself on set, on a day-to-day basis.
DeKAY: I learned that Matt's work ethic is unmatched. I've yet to see anybody who works harder than Matt. He's never satisfied, which is something none of us are, as artists. There's always one more take. I'm glad that neither one of us ever allowed or accepted it to be just satisfactory. I learned another kind of comedy from Matt. Matt is so specific, and just brilliant and hilarious. I think we all learn from each other. The key is to continue to learn, and always be open to the next person who comes your way and shares a scene with you.
Do you think there will ever be a movie, in the future?
DeKAY: I don't know. That's a good question. In the past, I would have said no, I don't see that being a possibility, but Veronica Mars broke the mold with that. So, I'm not going to say that it would be impossible. I certainly would entertain that possibility. But right now, there aren't any plans to have a movie. Gosh, that would be fun.
BOMER: Honestly, if they came to us with the proposition, then I would definitely want to do it, just to get the chance to work with Tim, Willie [Garson], Marsha [Thomas], Sharif [Atkins] and Tiffani [Thiessen] again. But, I have no idea.
Tim, you've already done Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but are there any types of roles that you're looking to do?
DeKAY: I'm trying to get a Christmas movie made that I would be directing. I've also been talking to Fox Studios because they have some projects that they would like me to pursue with them for television, as an actor, which are very interesting. There's also a western that I will be shooting this spring, where I play a dark character. I look forward to playing somebody dark. He's certainly not an FBI agent. Far from it. As an actor, you always look for something where the character or story is great, and some of these projects that I've got coming up are both. So, while I will miss playing Peter greatly, I look forward to different kinds of roles.
Matt, what's on your bucket list for the next couple of years?
BOMER: Oh, goodness. There are so many things I want to do. I'd like to really make the Montgomery Clift biopic happen. I'd like to get a chance to wear two different hats in the business. I also think it would be really great to do an adaptation of a great novel.
The series finale of White Collar airs on USA Network on Thursday, December 18th.

Attendees at the ninth Cosmetic Surgery Forum in Las Vegas certainly have lots to write home about. Quips, pearls, and uncensored comments from the podium and audience offered all comers a no-holds-barred look at everything and anything cosmetic dermatology, including intel on which A-list celebrity's all-new color-blind makeup line is a boom for doctors who treat acne.
We won't name names, but some top derms pulled no punches when it comes to the pros and cons of this pop star's line. "It's breaking out people left and right," said a leading New Jersey dermatologist who is treating some of the fallout.
There were lots of new faces on the CSF faculty this year, all handpicked by founder and director Joel Schlessinger, MD. CSF newbies included New York City dermatologist Neil Sadick, a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College; Miami based Dermatologist Jill S. Waibel, MD (the very one who helped the "Napalm girl" in the famous Vietnam War photo finally heal from her burns); and Harley Street dermatologist Nick Lowe, MD, who trekked across the pond for the three-day event, to name just a few.
Speaking of Dr. Sadick, lots of attendees and residents were frantically taking notes during a talk on his new go-to for melasma and more—the NeoStrata ProSystem Retinol Peel, which contains 3% Retinol plus Retinol Boosting Complex. "It shows excellent efficacy for treatment of melasma at 12 week intervals, and we have seen a decrease in acne lesions and improvement in the global signs of aging," he said.
A top Chicago dermatologist is dipping her feet in the entrepreneurial arena with KeraFactor spray for hair loss. KeraFactor spray contains the proprietary KeraFactor Peptide Complex, which comprises seven polypeptides that include specifically selected growth factors and proteins to help with hair and scalp health. And this doctor is putting her money where her scalp is—and so far, so good, Amy Taub, MD told the interested crowd. Bexley, OH derm Matt Zirwas, MD kicked things up a notch or two with some insights on whether sunscreen hurts coral.
Strataphama, a Swiss company relatively new to the US scene, got a lot of podium buzz, including some impressive callouts from New Jersey and New York dermatologist David J Goldberg MD, JD, in his lecture on preventing laser complications. So just what's so cool about this family of wound healers? Lots, including the fact that one product—Stratamed—can be used on open wounds and compromised skin immediately after ablative laser treatment. Strataderm is a once-a-day scar prevention silicone gel. "The actual mechanism of action is still unknown with silicone, but we believe it reduces transepidermal water loss and has an anti-inflammatory effect," says James Kone, Jr., Executive VP of Sales & Business Development at Stratpharma. The marketing savvy company also had packages named after the talks for sale in exhibit halls.
An oculoplastic surgeon who was recently named a full professor at Duke University channeled Crystal Gayle with a discussion of a new technology that turns brown eyes blue—safely and effectively. Yes, she was skeptical at first. "I thought these people have to be nuts," Julie Woodward, MD said, but the science makes sense. Stay tuned.
And which faculty member was obviously familiar with the adage "always leave them laughing when you say goodbye?" We won't tell, as the quip was not quite fit for print but left an entire panel laughing and blushing.
