How It Works
If your scouting organization uses a public calendar, then you can link it to your personal Google Calendar so that all scouting events will automatically appear on your personal calendar. Setting it up is easy and anyone can do it.
First, Get the URL of Your Unit's Event Feed
Go to (Gear Icon) > Edit Troop Settings > Calendar Integration tab and press "Generate"
Old Version
Click the share badge, select "Calendar" and scroll down to the bottom. You should see a link to your unit's calendar feed, as shown below. If you don't see it, your unit is not sharing the calendar publicly and you'll need to talk to your scouting leaders first.
Copy the url of your calendar feed.
Add your feed to Calendar
Follow the steps shown below to add your unit's calendar.
Paste the URL you copied earlier into the box that appears and click "Subscribe". The calendar app will now import all your unit's events to your calendar and keep it synced up.

I just read an Etsy Interview - Featured Seller: Creative Chics. And I must say I felt so inspired by them I had to share it with you.
From left to right: Carol Shea, Yuriko Kettler, Debbie Mitchell, Freda Mayer and Debbie Pearson
Tell us a bit about yourself.
The Creative Chics all call Kansas City home. Creative Chics was "born" when my mom, Freda Mayer, and I (Debbie Pearson), dusted off our sewing machines after a 30-year hiatus. Mom taught me how to sew when I was in high school, and as a result, I made many of my own clothes. Then life got rather busy for us, and our sewing machines took up residence in the back of our closets.
Jump forward 30 years when both of us officially retired from our "paying jobs" and started sewing again, enjoying a pastime we had long set aside but never forgotten. It quickly became obvious we both had an insatiable appetite for collecting beautiful fabrics, and it wasn't long before we decided the only way to support our hobby was to turn it into a business.
We were having so much fun but struggled to keep up with demand, and in less than a year we had invited the three other Creative Chics to join us. There is Carol Shea, who is my aunt and my mom's youngest sister; Yuriko Kettler, my gorgeous and talented daughter-in-law; and my closest girlfriend, Debbie Mitchell.
The five of us work out of our individual home studios and meet every other week for a "show and tell" of our newest creations, photo shoots of the latest aprons, a shared lunch where we dish about family and life, and sometimes we even make time for an afternoon matinee.
Womens Sweetheart Hostess Apron $37.00
Where does your inspiration come from?
We find inspiration everywhere! We find it in fabric and clothing stores, on T.V. (Bree onDesperate Housewives always wears an apron!), the internet and from each other. Ironically, the five of us have very different taste in fabrics and colors, so it is always inspirational to see what each one of us creates.
What does handmade mean to you?
Handmade means that someone put a lot of thought, love, and attention to detail in their creation. We sew each apron one at a time to ensure it is made of the highest quality workmanship. We want each customer to open their Creative Chics package and feel they have received a very special gift made just for them.
When did you know you were an artist/maker?
Spend 10 minutes with any of us and it would become obvious we are all inherently creative souls. But like many people, work and family took precedence when we were younger and really didn't allow time for us to explore our creativity. Now it is "our turn," and we intend to make the best of it. The irony is that our apron business wouldn't be this successful without all those years of experience we gained by working in the public sector. It really laid the foundation for us to realize our creative dreams.
Retro Womens Bib Apron $36.00
How would you describe your creative process?
We usually start with an inspiration piece, such as a dress that we think would be super cute as an apron. With a bolt of muslin fabric in hand, we lay it on the mannequin and start snipping away at the fabric until we have the pieces needed to create an actual working pattern. Many apron mock-ups are made before we finalize the pattern, working out the kinks as we go. Once we have a pattern that we all approve, the real fun begins by picking through our large fabric collections to find the perfect color combinations to bring the new design to life.

Concrete block bricks
The concrete block bricks are used as solid divider and silo walls for various bulk materials, such as building materials, construction waste, compost, silage, recycled material and so on. They are built in the slip and block system and receive their stability due to their tailored pins. With the help of a hydraulic stacker, a mobile excavator or directly from the lorry delivering the goods, the concrete block bricks can be stacked.
Corner units and ground anchorages are not necessary. The concrete block stones are available in the following sizes: 160 x 80 x 60 cm and 80 x 80 x 60 cm. Consequently, they are easily stackable in the group. The weight for the length of 1.60 m is 1660 kg.

All of a sudden the NFL has religion.
The commissioner is leading the way. Roger Goodell believes now is a turning point in the league's history as it addresses violence on the field.
Bounty-gate would be the catalyst, I would assume.
That the New Orleans Saints had some kind of program that rewarded players for big hits or "cart-offs" is one thing, but punishing this group, when its very likely (wink, wink) this occurred elsewhere is a tough trail the Commish is trying to traverse.
There is the argument that "this is football." Brett Favre said as much, even as he was the human pinata, courtesy of the Saints in the NFC title game in the '09 season.
Truth be told, the toothpaste is already out of the tube. Putting it back in will be messy as others not even employed by the Saints, scattered throughout the league, will be hit by the fallout.
The Browns' Scott Fujita even admitted to Peter King of Sports Illustrated that he helped fund an incentive program in New Orleans that rewarded "interceptions and big plays."
Fujita said, however, he would never be a part of any plan to injure a player or take away his ability to make a living.
Knowing of the actual intent of the defensive player is next to impossible. It's not like a couple of linebackers run down a ball carrier, grab each leg and yell, "Make a wish!" and snap a femur. Football has for years made mounds of money celebrating huge hits. The crowds roar, the sport's appeal rises.
Go back to ancient times. The Gladiators fighting to the death; the crowds in a frenzy. It's unlikely the old Colosseum was filled with people wanting thumb wrestling matches. They wanted blood.
At the very least, the so called master of mayhem, Gregg Williams, the former Saints defensive coordinator, will be suspended for several games if not the whole season. Players, perhaps even Fujita, could serve suspensions. Anything is possible.
Commissioner Goodell has shown the league to be very concerned for players suffering from concussions. Colt McCoy's incident with James Harrison served as a springboard for safer measures.
But just how safe does Goodell want the game to be? How many measures can they put into place before the NFL resembles flag football? If the game is toned down, how long before fans tune out?

Hi! It's Kasey from Ruby Rue Creations! I'm excited to share the Peekaboo patterns we use to make the back-to-school transition stress free!
We live in a very warm climate, so our back-to-school wardrobes still include some of our favorite Summer-y Peekaboo patterns! Let's start with my son. He's going to first grade and is very active. He's particular about the fabrics that touch his skin; he loves soft, comfy fabric. My go-to shorts for him are the Coastal Craze Baggies and Hang Time Shorts.
I've lost count of how many I've made for him over the last few years! My favorite part about the Coastal Craze Baggies is that I can make them from knits or wovens and the fit is still great!! I love this madras plaid from the Peekaboo Fabric Shop; it "goes" with everything and makes early morning dressing easier! I usually leave the pockets off of the Hang Time (at his request) which makes these also a super fast sew! He tells me his favorites are made with French Terry Cotton Lycra!
For tops, we love the Tide Pool Tank and the Grand Slam. Both are super fast and can easily be customized with freezer paper stenciling, vinyl, embroidery or used with custom fabric panels. I can keep up with his ever-changing interests since these are so fast to sew! His build is very slender, so the Tide Pool Tank is a great fit for him. We also use the Tide Pool for layering underneath long sleeve shirts once it gets cooler…BONUS! The Grand Slam features a slim or athletic fit, which allows me to adjust as he grows! (Super Bonus…the pattern also includes a dress which my daughter uses for nightgowns!)
My daughter is my fashionista and is also very particular about her clothes! She changes her mind about styles and outfits about a dozen times a day, so making something quick is a must!
The Little Miss Sunshine is my staple top for her. She loves asking for different designs on front! My favorite part about this top, besides it being a ridiculously fast sew, is that if I make this in a printed knit, it can be worn frontwards or backwards! Again, easy early morning dressing!! I also like how nicely this pairs with so many of the Peekaboo bottoms (skirts, shorts, leggings, pants, etc.). PLUS, the pattern includes a paneled circle skirt for a dress!
The Spunky Girl Skater Skirt is probably her favorite skirt. It's so easy that with a little supervision, she made her own last year! I make this for her out of knits and wovens and love pairing it with the Little Miss Sunshine! I sometimes use the shorts from the Lollipop Leggings or Skip Along Skort and sew them in when sewing on the waistband, so no one sees her undies as she's spinning or climbing!
She recently discovered jean shorts and is pretty obsessed with them. For her pineapple bottoms, I used the Skinny Jeans pattern and made them into shorts! I just measured against her favorite jean shorts and added hem allowance. Even though this took slightly longer to make because of the topstitching, it is so worth it. The topstitching steps create such a professional finish! And I can still sew up a pair or two in a few hours.
What are your favorite back-to-school staples? Sew up a Peekaboo Pattern this week and show us on the Peekaboo Pattern Shop Facebook page or on Instagram. Use the hashtags #backtoschoolpab AND #peekaboopatternshop when posting. 10 winners will be chosen and can each choose one Peekaboo Pattern! Amy will choose on Monday, August 7th, so get those patterns sewn! Post as many as you make this week for bonus entries! Good luck and happy sewing!

Technology has transformed our lives, but most of us can see that the transformation hasn't been all good. That leads church leaders to ponder what the church's relationship to technology should be.
We spoke with Pastor Brady Boyd to see how he feels about and uses technology in ministry. (View the video interview instead).
On reaching a younger generation: A Norman Rockwell painting of our time would show everyone texting on their phones and to-go boxes in the living room. You see kids with their heads down on their phones. It's hard to connect with the younger generations, the older you get. We have to embrace what they embrace—the digital hand-held world. You have to purposely stay young or you'll become old without trying. Learn to connect with them. They'll text 'til their thumbs bleed. Learn to text!
On social media: I use Facebook to know what's going on in my members' lives. Without it, their stories are lost to me. I'm not a technology guy—I made a decision to engage with students. If you're going to be a pastor, you have to know the right questions to ask. If I didn't embrace their lives, I couldn't pastor them. Knowing them changes the way I preach. The number one reason people stay at a church is that they have some type of connection to the Senior Pastor. This is the only way!
On live streaming: This is the best decision we ever made. When we started, it cost thousands, but now it's in the hundreds. We have 600-1000 internet campuses; 40-50,000 people podcast us. It's not as good as being there, but it still allows people to feel connected.
On church management software: Ministry is about knowing what's going on in peoples' lives. With the F1 App, I have that information—volunteered information—available at my fingertips. It's not a replacement for face to face, it's an entry way to face to face.
On the cost of technology: Some say it's too costly, I say it's too costly NOT to use it. Used properly, it's a brilliant time-saver.
Pastor Brady's summary: "Technology is God's creative expression. We don't live in Gutenberg's world anymore; we live in Google's. The question is: are we going to embrace these advances and make them work for us, or are we going to ignore what's happening in the world to our own detriment? Not to embrace them is foolish."
Want to learn more about the church management software Pastor Brady Boyd trusts?
Join us at a special Virtual Open House on Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 12pm (CST).
In one hour, you'll be guided through a tour of all the software features. You'll be able to interact as much or little as you like, and you won't be pressured by a salesperson.

CMS To Mail Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Applications To Low-Income Seniors
The federal government in the near future will mail applications for the new Medicare prescription drug benefit to an estimated 15 million low-income beneficiaries who qualify for additional financial assistance with their medication costs, the AP/Las Vegas Sun reports. The Medicare prescription drug benefit, which will begin on Jan. 1, 2006, will provide additional assistance with medication costs for beneficiaries with annual incomes at or less than 150% of the federal poverty level. In addition, Medicare beneficiaries with annual incomes at or less than 135% of the federal poverty level can receive their medications at no cost, except for a copayment of $2 to $5 per prescription.
Medicare will automatically enroll about half of the beneficiaries eligible for the additional assistance in the prescription drug benefit because they participate in other government programs. However, as many as 7.5 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries will have to complete a six-page application that requires details on their finances to enroll in the prescription drug benefit and receive the additional assistance. The application includes four pages of questions, a page of instructions and a page for the beneficiary to sign. The application includes 16 questions, although many Medicare beneficiaries will have to answer only 12, CMS Administrator Mark McClellan said. He added, "Line this application up against any other means-tested benefit. This one is the simplest by far. It's four pages, large type, fifth-grade level and no attachments."
However, advocates for Medicare beneficiaries have raised concerns about the complexity of the application process for the prescription drug benefit. Patricia Nemore, an attorney with the Center for Medicare Advocacy, said, "I think the whole process is so dastardly complex, it's bound to confuse." Robert Hayes, president of the Medicare Rights Center, added, "Realistically, if we hit 50% enrollment, we'll be slapping ourselves on the back."
McClellan said that the federal government has worked with the Access to Benefit Coalition to educate Medicare beneficiaries about the prescription drug benefit. "Make no mistake, this is a very challenging population to reach," he said, adding, "But that's why we're starting so early and using the simplest means-testing application ever" (Freking, AP/Las Vegas Sun, 5/25).
Additional information on the Medicare drug benefit is available online.

The government will launch a child support scheme next year to help all Hungarians around the world, Human Resources Minister Zoltán Balog confirmed in Canada on Thursday local time.
Starting in January 2018, every Hungarian mother, no matter where they give birth, will be offered a "baby bond" which involves a one-off support and the possibility to take out a low-interest loan subsidised by the state until the child turns 18, Balog told a celebration marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in Niagara Falls.
"We are talking about Hungarian children and they are equally important as children born in Hungary," he said.
In his speech, Balog cited Hungary's constitution, which proclaims the state's responsibility for all Hungarians around the world.
Balog told MTI over the phone that the event, organised by the Hungarian community in Toronto, was attended by more than 300 ethnic Hungarians led by 24 pastors from all around the world, including Australia, the US and Transylvania. The participants included Calvinists, Catholics, Lutherans and also Baptists, he added.
The minister called it symbolic that the organisers rented out a Catholic Carmelite monastery and guest house for celebrating the Reformation.

Best Match of the Tournament: Germany – Italy
Manuel Neuer by Lukas Tank
Other keepers had more saves to make than Manuel Neuer, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they had a harder job to do. As Oliver Kahn does not get tired of pointing out, staying focused while hardly participating in the game for extended spells is one of the most complicated tasks for any goalkeeper. And Neuer did stay focussed as he showed us whenever he was called upon. But it would be unfair to say that he didn't participate when he didn't have saves to make. Neuer, famously, always participates in his team's overall game. He enables his defense to maintain a high line by leaving his box, acting as a sweeper keeper. And when his team is in possession he is just another field player participating in his team's build up game. Germany's build up game was one of the highlights of an otherwise dull tournament and Neuer had a big part to play in that. His Euro '16 maybe wasn't as outstanding as his World Cup two years ago, but we have witnessed yet another excellent tournament by a keeper who will be increasingly thought of as a true great of the game over the next couple of years.
Raphael Guerreiro by Luca Gierl
It was the first big international tournament for the 22-year-old left-back and what a tournament it was. In a Portugal team that pulled off the unthinkable and won the entire thing, he arguably was the most consistent performer and was dearly missed in the games against Hungary and Poland, which he had to sit out with muscular problems. Full-backs like Guerreiro are rare these days. Rather than with his athleticism he impresses with excellent understanding of the game, great combination play and a cool head. Not even the pressure of playing in a final in and against a country he grew up in seemed to faze him. While his crosses and set-piece deliveries might have been his most eye-catching feature, it was even more impressive how he managed to calm down Portugal's build-up play from an unusual position. He constantly found solutions in possession, even with defenders and the sideline "playing" against him. In the final it almost seemed like he was the most dominant passer on the pitch from his left-back position.
Pepe by Daniel Roßbach (Make sure to check out his football discussion page pressschlag.net)
The thought that I would write an elogy to, off all players, Pepe, would have seemed bewilderingly strange to most former versions of myself. But if there ever was a tournament in whose top XI Pepe should feature, it was this European Championship. Pepe embodied the combination of defensive stability and agility that got Portugal the
trophy, as well as their rather speculative and unambitious approach to build up play. But he also overcame his own demons in managing not to commit a single foul in the final (and only one in the three knock out games he featured in), while still using his impressive physique to become a dominant presence in the winners' defensive unit. Of course, Pepe's use of the ball stands in stark contrast to the other centre backs in this XI. Yet in Fernando Santos setup he was not asked to play Bonucciesk diagonals or Boateng-laser-passes(tm). Instead, delivering the ball to the dynamic central midfielders or launching the ball in the general direction of the right sided forward was enough to get the Iberians' attacking play going (as far as it existed.) As such, Pepe's mostly well-timed and always uncompromising front-foot defending warrants his selection.
Leonardo Bonucci by Lukas Tank
Being part of a well-drilled collective like the Italy/Juventus defensive block sometimes leads to being overlooked as an individual. Well, let's not make that mistake, shall we? Over the last couple of seasons Bonucci has grown into being the foremost Italian defender of his generation. And when you look at the history of football, that basically guarantees that you're among the best defenders of your generation on a global level, too. Bonucci is no exception to that rule. He is a complete central defender without any apparent weaknesses and played a tournament that proved his class. Among his standout moments were two long passes. The first led to Italy's 1-0 against Belgium. The second was a long pass against Germany. It led to one of the very few Italian chances in that game. Bonucci's long passing game was the best I have seen from a defender at Euro 2016. Slowly but surely, a conversation about Bonucci's place among the historic greats of Italian defending does not sound that absurd anymore. His last few seasons and this Euro do make a case in his favour.
Jerome Boateng by Daniel Roßbach
Whether it was by iconic goal line clearances, man-of-the-match performances, goals, slapstick moments or leaving the pitch injured, Jerome Boateng was the axis around which games involving Germany turned. That he was one of the tournament's outstanding centre backs while clearly being far from his best physical condition is a testament to how far he has come in being one of the best deepest-line playmakers in the world. There were lapses in Boateng's performance (as when a mistimed jump created Olivier Giroud's chance that was denied by Höwedes), but in this tournament there was no perfection. That Boateng was at times playing in the areas of the pitch that traditional playmakers used to occupy was not always optimal for the DFB team, but can hardly be blamed on the player. The same goes for Boateng mainly aiming his precise long range passes at the full/wing backs rather than central midfield. What can be attributed to the Bayern defender is that he is the most complete defensive player in the world at this time, combining athleticism to excel in one-on-one duels and stepping out to prevent them with precise and incisive passing. He has shown all of these qualities in France this summer.
Bacary Sagna by Lukas Tank
It was a tournament with half a dozen brilliant full-backs but Sagna surely was the most outstanding of them all! Well, not really. The only potentially outstanding full-back to take part in this Euro was David Alaba, but he played a shitty tournament. Joshua Kimmich featured as right-back in the official UEFA team of the tournament, but for me he simply had too many shaky moments to deserve that title. The veteran Dario Srna played yet another classy tournament, but it was awfully short. In the end, we opted for Bacary Sagna. Sagna is a very solid and modern allrounder. He made few mistakes and was neither overly defensive nor offensive. Will he give you anything that stands out or excites you? Probably not. But he gets the job done, which is just what he did at the Euros. In a time when greats like Philipp Lahm and Dani Alves are slowing down, there is no player on the horizon who can really fill their boots as an elite right-back.
William Carvalho by Lukas Tank
It was not a tournament for the ages for defensive midfielders. The one outstanding pivot of our age, Sergio Busquets, looked overplayed, made uncharacteristic mistakes and left the tournament early. (See, I am capable of compiling teams without Busquets in them after all!) Kante, the French player who rose to prominence with Leicester last season, had a promising start to the tournament but soon faded. Rooney and Dier actually started well as a defensive midfield pairing but then… well, let's not talk about that. William Carvalho on the other hand had a solid tournament. He played pretty conservatively, but then again, it was a conservative Euro. His distribution was not particularly creative or brilliant, but neat and tidy. In a Portugal side that focussed on not conceding, he did his job well and is included in the team for a lack of truly outstanding options. (By the way, the defensive/central midfield pairing at Euro 2012 was Pirlo/Xavi. *sigh*)
Toni Kroos by Lukas Tank
As I said in the part on Manuel Neuer, the German build-up game was one of the footballing highlights of the tournament. While several players deserve credit for that, none of them were as important as Toni Kroos. The GDR-born Kroos has established himself as one of the finest central midfielders/deep-lying playmakers on the planet during the last couple of years and affirmed this status during this year's Euro. While his defensive game wasn't too great, he played dozens of fine passes from his deep position in front of the defense. Maybe they weren't that eye-catching because they rarely reached the final third of the pitch, but you would be very wrong to think Kroos is someone who plays only safe but ineffective short passes. What he does very well is find his more attacking teammates between the lines. Time and time again he managed to squeeze passes between very narrow gaps in the opponent's formation. These passes are key in the modern game. If they reach their target, the opponent has to break formation which will give you the chance to exploit the disorder. Kroos created these situations more often than any other player at Euro 2016.
Mesut Özil by Daniel Roßbach
Özil was the best offensive player in a German team that lacked outstanding individual quality in attacking midfield, ironically given its apparent embarrassment of riches in the position. With his outings at the Euros he followed up on a spectacular domestic season, albeit with less impressive numbers to show for it (1 goal, 1 assist). That was also the case in his best performance of the tournament, on the losing side of a semi-final against France. Most of Özil's decisions in that game were right, some pieces of play executed with excellence. While Özil was for instance not able to solve the team's structural issues with penetrating Italy's formation, he was involved in most of the moments in which they did. At the same time, he contributed to Germany's defensive solidity by consistently getting involved in the counter-press. That an attacking player is commended for his (obviously important) defensive contributions points to the lack of overwhelming options the tournament put on offer in terms of attacking football, with many teams relying on rudimentary approaches to that side of the game. Özil is included in this XI by default, to some extend.
Antoine Griezmann by Daniel Roßbach
Somewhat unfortunately for him, Antoine Griezmann's Euros mirrored his season at large: a good start that hinted at his full potential followed by a stretch of playing at world top 3 players-level, only to be capped by an underwhelming – and lost – final. When Griezmann is at his best, he is one of the most multifaceted forwards in the game. His slender frame is able to generate both speed and considerable strength. Dribbling, passing, shooting and – most obvious in this tournament – heading are at equally good technical levels and go along with great speed of thought (Handlungsschnelligkeit). And while Griezmann's pressing skills shine more brightly in the meticulously worked out collective of Atletico, the individual raw material to them was on show in followed-through pressing runs and well-timed challenges. While France thus were not able to get the best out of Griezmann, his individual performances were the best thing about the finalists. While his playing style seems to allow him to play on the attacking wings, the attempt to do so here failed (because France lacked presence in and linkage to the central attacking spaces). Playing off Giroud, the multicultured Basque became the focal point of France's offensive efforts – and the tournament's top scorer.
Gareth Bale by Lukas Tank
Let's be honest, Euro 2016 wasn't great, right? And was there any attacking player who really had a tournament to rival, say, Zidane's 2000 or Iniesta's 2012? I don't think so. Maybe Griezmann comes close, but apart from him, no, not really. Which brings us to Gareth Bale. The Welshman had a good tournament. His tally of three goals looks a bit inflated. At least two of them were down to errors by the goalkeeper. (I'm looking at you, Joe Hart.) But still, good tournament from him. Not excellent, but… well, you know, good. He obviously was his team's most important player and had a big part in their best ever run in an international tournament. With many opponent's double- or triple-marking him, he often managed to dribble past one or two players before releasing the ball, which gave his teammates lots of space to work with.
Maybe a quick word on Cristiano Ronaldo is in place: He had about 4-5 good moments during Euro 2016. That can be enough to justify inclusion in a tournament all-star team, but in his case it doesn't. He was just way too wasteful. Cristiano missed half a dozen good chances and, yet again, took loads of shots he shouldn't have taken.

Thousands of Croats will see their debts written-off on Monday as part of an attempt to boost the economy by helping households to regain access to basic facilities including bank accounts.
The scheme, which has been dubbed "fresh start", will see the debts of around 60,000 citizens erased by banks, telecoms and utilities operators as part of a deal with the government.
Around 2.1bn kuna (£20m) worth of bad debts are expected to be written off by creditors who have signed up to the scheme. None will be refunded for their losses.
Qualifying households must have debts lower than 35,000 kuna (£3,500), and their monthly income should not be higher than 1,250 kuna. Croats who own property or have any savings will not benefit from the deal.
"We assess that this measure will be applicable to some 60,000 citizens," said Milanka Opacic, Croatia's deputy prime minister. "Thus they will be given a chance for a new start without a burden of debt."
It is estimated that the program will give 20pc of the 317,000 Croatians whose accounts were frozen in July last year due to bad debts access to their accounts again.
"This is the first time that any [Croatian] government tries to solve this difficult problem and we are proud of it," Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic told a cabinet session.
The deal will be noted in Greece, where the new Syriza government is trying to renegotiate the terms of its multi billion euro bail-out.

The former Brockton High School graduate has served as an assistant at Stonehill, Wesleyan University and Nichols College.
The premature end of his college football career left a void in the life of Mike Landers a decade ago. After serving as a captain at Brockton High School and earning a spot on the Georgia Tech roster for two years as a walk-on, Landers was forced to stop playing due to a shoulder injury.
He returned to Brockton and enrolled at Bridgewater State College, but there was something missing without football.
"After football, I was in a rut," said Landers, a 1994 Brockton High graduate. "I didn't know what I wanted to do. It was hard commuting to Bridgewater State. I didn't have football in my life.
"Then my father (Steve), in his great wisdom, said, 'Why don't you go over to Stonehill (College) and be a volunteer coach and try it?'"
Landers decided to give coaching a try and wound up joining the Stonehill staff of head coach Connie Driscoll in 1998 while studying at BSC.
It turned out to be a move that gave Landers a career path to pursue.
"After that first week," said Landers, "I said to myself, 'Man, this is for me. I don't care what I get paid. This is something I want to do.'"
Landers was an assistant at Stonehill until 2003, was an assistant coach at Wesleyan University in Connecticut for one year and spent the last three years as an assistant at Nichols College.
Now, 10 years after entering the coaching business while still a college student, Landers has a football program to call his own.
The 32-year-old Landers was hired last week as the head coach at Mount Ida College in Newton where he is also the coordinator of the Life Skills program for athletes.
"I feel like I've found a home," said Landers, a 2001 graduate of BSC. "I think my goal has always been to help young people. Being a head coach is a great vehicle since you are charged with the great responsibility of directing them to the next step.
"I like small college athletics. I'm not looking to be a Div. 1 head coach. You get to know kids better at this level and this is where I want to be."
Landers, who was the class president at Brockton High when he was a senior, chased the dream of playing big-time college football.
He arrived at Georgia Tech without a scholarship and made the roster as a special teams player and defensive back.
Before the shoulder injury, which originally occurred when he was a junior in high school, ended his career, Landers was a regular on special teams.
"It was a great opportunity for me to do what I do now," said Landers. "It was difficult being a walk-on. As a walk-on, they're not obligated to you by a scholarship. To be on the team, you have to fight.
"Brockton High and Coach (Armond) Colombo prepared me for that, that toughness you need, and I'm going to carry that over to Mount Ida."
When the playing career ended and Landers discovered coaching, it didn't take long for him to get serious about the profession.
Landers was the wide receivers coach, linebacker coach and co-defensive coordinator at Stonehill under Driscoll and Rich Beal. At Wesleyan, he was the coordinator of the front eight and linebackers coach and was the defensive coordinator at Nichols under former Hanover resident Bill Carven.
"I had a great experience at Stonehill," said Landers, whose mother, Roly, is an assistant athletic director at Massasoit Community College. "I learned a wealth of my football knowledge from the people there, Rich Beal and Brian Hauser (the defensive coordinator). They taught me the Xs and Os, how to organize a program.
"You learn from everyone you coach with. Rich Beal was extremely organized and showed me how to treat a staff. Connie gave me my first shake and showed me college athletics is not just the sports aspect.
"Billy Carven, who went to Nichols, showed me how to build a program like a family. Frank Hauser (the head coach at Wesleyan) is one of the smartest men I've known, and Coach Colombo, what he did at Brockton High, I'm so proud of that program."
Landers will pool all of the knowledge that he has gained at various stops and put together his own program.
Mount Ida, which was 3-7 last season, began playing football in 1999 and has had winning records twice. The Mustangs will join the North Atlantic Conference in 2009.
"We want to win championships and we want everyone to graduate," said Landers. "I want to use football as a vehicle to teach them about things that will come up in life, like losing a job, things like that. I want to teach them that no matter what, as long as you get up breathing and have rocks to throw in a rock fight, you have a chance.
"I've sat down with the players and told them we will have a 2.7 grade point average. Anyone below that will be pulling us down. We're going to be very much involved in academics, and if you don't get grades, you won't play."
Landers has recruiting to do and a staff to hire, but he can't wait to be on the sidelines to work as a head coach for the first time in September.
"I'm eager to get into the Xs and Os," he said. "I'm excited about where we're going as a program. We're building a family here."

A complaint has been filed with the Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission regarding likely illegal campaign spending by the NRA's PAC in Connecticut. The complaint was filed by 5 gun violence prevention advocates including three Newtown residents – Sarah Clements, Po Murray, and Carlos Soto – who were directly impacted by the Sandy Hook shooting. Specifically, their complaint reveals that the NRA's federal PAC likely funneled improper campaign contributions to state politicians, and appears to have secretly given their state affiliate as much as $20,000, in violation of Connecticut state law.

With the rapid explosive growth of the Internet also comes an growth of a new source of parts for the cycling community; The online bike shop/warehouse. What once started out as mail order shops for bike parts has now turned into a bike porn online shop, where even though we cant see the physical product, we are presented with a huge range of cycling goods, and not only the cheap ones, from low end FSA (sorry couldn't help it)Gosammers, to high end Campagnolo Super Record Cranks. At the same time, prices are much lower than our local bike shops which according to the law of demand, means that we as consumers switch to a cheaper alternative, provided we do not mind waiting. Does this mean the demise of our local bike shop ?
Gone are the days in the pre internet era, where we would depend on the advice of the Local Bike Shop. "This Dogma would make you fly faster" to "Zipp wheels ? Yeah they are good, they will blow your competition apart" or if they were unscrupulous "What you mean Aleoca, those are crap, try our brand new Madone instead" Many cycling websites are available to help consumers make a more informed choice about what they are buying. Moreover, for those who are skeptical, there are many user forum reviews website that helps consumers say their opinion on products that they like or hate. This way, we are able to filter out nonsensical information from websites and our bike shop, and also to have better knowledge on the technologies found on our bicycle. Does this seeming new trove of information and reviews made on the internet made our bike shop obsolete ?
Broken a spoke ? Bought a new chain and do not know how to fix it ? Do not know how to clean your bike ? Do not fear! For YouTube and park tool are here to teach you how to fix them! No more going down to that Bike shop with the grumpy uncle where he will charge you an arm and a leg and one years worth of tube supply to fix your mechanical problems! And you do not need to wait for the bike shop to open with their weird days off and operating hours for now you can do it by yourselves provided you have the proper tools! The best part is if should you screw up your repairs you can do it at a bike shop, learning from your mistakes!
This 3 lethal combination of low prices from online stores,seemingly perfect information and the big internet help book have made it more difficult for local bike shop to tide over the current tide of economic uncertainty. Now they have to be more knowledgeable about their products and have exceptional mechanics who can solve any problems on bicycles. As for prices, they are simply uncompetitive due to the many expenses that are bound to happen if you open and run a Local Bike Shop.
There have also been a new breed of consumers as well, the one that takes advantage of both the cheap online prices, yet does not have the mechanical know how to fix up their new found products. Worst still, after looking/or without looking at YouTube video, they still do not know how to fix their stuff and ask their local bike shop to fix it up. Even though it is perfectly legal to do so, deep down my heart, I find it very unethical to do so. I mean you cant clear your own shit and now you are asking other people to do it for you? I know you are paying them big money to fix and build up your stuff, but I find support from these people paradoxical since they claim that they are supporting local bike shop by asking them to do mechanical work, and yet refuse to buy a single spare tube from the bike shop because online tubes are a couple of dollars cheaper.
Let's envision a hypothetical situation without any bike shops, no more looking at bike porn in the flesh and we have to resort to looking at pictures on the web. No more local support for local bike races. No more last minute buying of gels, tubes and other critical essential spare parts. And worst still, cant fix your own stuff up since bike shops are no longer around! A scary vision that might happen if we buy all of our stuff online.
Even I am not spared by the low prices and have been buying relatively high ticket items from the internet after finding out that it is 30% cheaper and have even bought some tools to expand my minute mechanical know how. Yet, I do support my bike shop by bringing repair work to them, or buy that bottom bracket that just gave way the night before, or ran out of spares which i bought from them previously.I thought about buying whole bicycles from them before, but the prices are relatively prohibitive compared to my tiny purchasing power.
Local Bike shops do need to innovate and move ahead with times as well. No longer can they appear as that snobbish brand whore fanatic uncle who chases away potential customers just because customers makes snide remarks about your crappy attitude (remember the power of social media) nor put prices up so high that only god can touch(this is kind of hard to achieve given that fact that pricing has way too many factors involved). Instead what they need to offer is a friendly attitude. and their expert knowledge to help consumers make more informed choice(though this is pretty subjective which is a conflict of interest with the objective views of customers) and their many years of experience of seeing any bicycle problem to gain a reputation for themselves.
As for pricing wise, as long as it doesn't deviate to more than 20% for big ticket item and 30% for small ticket items, I would gladly give my LBS the money both for their expertise in fixing the item up and as well as to thank them for having the product that I want immediately.

| 17.7°C Dublin
Having spent six weeks negotiating a programme for government, one would have expected a modicum of enthusiasm from chief negotiator Catherine Martin for the agreed deal. Instead, the statement released by the Green Party deputy leader to mark the auspicious occasion had a funereal quality.
Talks between Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party have now entered their fourth week, but the parties are still no closer to reaching a deal. In fact, the talks have only progressed this far because none of the contentious issues that could derail discussions have even been broached.
In the 11 weeks since schools and crèches closed, the Government has broken every promise it made in relation to the provision of childcare for essential workers. Why should anyone believe its revised claims now?
Some good news at last. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have kissed and made up after both parties threw an almighty strop over the weekend, which threatened to plunge coalition talks into disarray.
Three weeks ago, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was horrified to hear that people in the UK were reporting their neighbours to the authorities for going on two runs a day or straying too far from their homes.
In 2007, then Green Party leader Trevor Sargent coined the phrase "Planet Bertie" to describe Fianna Fáil as a party that was "so strange and so alien to our sensibilities" that the two could never join forces in government.
As the lockdown drags on, the level of sanctimony in some quarters about people allegedly breaching social distancing guidelines is reaching epic proportions. Last week, those with holiday homes were public enemy number one. These selfish swine were apparently travelling from their palatial pads in Dublin to bijou cottages in some of Ireland's most scenic areas - carrying disease and pestilence with them in their vulgar Range Rovers.
It is now nearly two months since voters went to the polls in an election in which Covid-19 did not feature, even once. Since then, the world has changed and changed utterly. We don't know when, or if, it will return to normal.
For nearly 100 years, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have held a tight grip on political power. When one goes into government, the other goes out and bides its time on the opposition benches until its number comes up again.
The perceived wisdom is that the inclusion of Mary Lou McDonald in RTÉ's forthcoming leaders' debate would be a win for Sinn Féin. In reality, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil could be the biggest beneficiaries.
In its 2016 election manifesto, Fine Gael promised 93pc of patients would be dealt with in A&Es within six hours. Four years later, just 30pc of patients are being admitted to a ward from A&Es within this target time.

The Kolox Nebula was all that was left of the planet Kolox (former home world of the Skrawn), hence the reason it was sometimes referred to as "the Skrawn Inheritance". Its dazzling display of lights was composed of colossal amounts of chronon particles and was all that remained of a planet ripped apart by the time winds following the Time War. Those Skrawn lucky enough to have survived were believed to drift helplessly and without direction in this treacherous sector of space, awaiting their revenge. (COMIC: The Skrawn Inheritance)
The last Horologic-class history cruiser in existence was found in a time pocket on the edge of the Skrawn Inheritance. (COMIC: Buying Time)

For the money Little Greene does better paint imo
A good paint shop can make you up F&B colours nice and matte but less annoying to actually paint with (and less ridiculously expensive). Brewers did a good job on this for me across a few things.
Second this, our local independent did a F&B colour match and pretty close vs the original tester - maybe just avoid the big chains and we did choose decent paint from them.

COLTON – Hiring a slew of high-level managers, reorganizing city departments and improving communication are a few of the recommendations from a May 2008 draft audit report by Folsom-based Citygate and Associates.
The City Council approved a $65,000 contract with Citygate in Aug. 2007 to perform the audit, which was intended to gauge organizational efficiency and preparation for future economic development, a city report says.
However, a final draft of the audit's findings was never produced. The draft report hasn't been formally presented to the council. Former City Manager Daryl Parrish, who left the city in May, was the city's chief executive when the audit was commissioned and executed.
Parrish has said the audit was completed, but the city could not afford to pay for its recommendations – so they were abandoned. Citygate proposed hiring several new managers, filling vacant positions and offering higher salaries for certain jobs.
"I think it's unfortunate that amount of taxpayer money was spent without getting anything in return," said resident Joe Mendez. "It was basically thrown out the window because the things it suggested weren't even feasible for the city."
All in all a total of 19 job titles were suggested to be either created or filled if vacant. The report also recommended that the city fill an undisclosed number of vacant maintenance jobs in the electric utility.
"I find it odd that this firm would suggest adding that many jobs," Mendez said. "Even if the city was in good shape it would be hard to come up with enough money to hire that many employees. You would think (the auditor) would have taken that into consideration when they made these recommendations."
Many of the jobs proposed would have been highly paid positions, such as a deputy city manager, deputy fire chief and a deputy general manager and assistant general manager of the electric utility.
Citygate suggested the Finance Department be revamped by filling three employment vacancies and adding two new employees. The lack of manpower in finance degraded the quality of the city's accounting, the report said.
Lack of communication was one problem employees conveyed to Citygate.
"Even if there is cooperation between departments in planning efforts, the perception among departments is that cooperation does not occur and needs to be dealt with," the report says.
The report cites a "shortage of professional-level staff" as a problem. Instead of recruiting adequately qualified people to fill vacancies, the city had a habit of promoting existing employees and reclassifying job titles to fit their skill level, the report said. This resulted in some employees being promoted to jobs for which they were unqualified, the report said.
But the report also found that service levels in all departments were very good or excellent.
New City Manager Rod Foster, who began his tenure in December, has received council approval for a major reorganization of the city that consolidates operations.
Foster's reorganization eliminates certain positions while adding others. A registered civil engineer is being sought to head the public works and water and electric utilities. The former public works director isn't an engineer.
Citygate's proposal to expand city employment and pay higher salaries for certain jobs is the opposite of actual events that came to fruition after the draft report was finished in May 2008.
Over the past 12 months, the city's workforce has been greatly reduced to deal with multi-million dollar deficits. Several employee groups have agreed to pay cuts or other salary/benefits concessions to save the city money.
About 90 employees were laid off or had their contracts severed, including Assistant City Manager Mark Nuaimi, several mid-managers and three department heads. Sixteen employees have also accepted early retirement offers to save the city money. Even with fewer employees, Foster says the city's operations are running "exceedingly well."
"Every city manager would be happy with the addition of extra staff, but unfortunately right now in Colton we don't have the luxury nor the financial wherewithal to add staff," Foster said.

Crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside, these golden, savory fritters are the perfect starter or brunch dish. With a delicate eggplant flavor, deliciously balanced by smoky ham, this is the perfect gateway recipe for anyone who claims to "hate" eggplant. Try not to over-mix the batter as this will make your fritters chewy, and be sure to work in small batches while frying so you don't overcrowd the pan. If you have trouble finding crème frâiche, you can easily substitute full-fat sour cream.
How to Make It
Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together all Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Prepare the Fritters: Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Add flour and baking powder; stir just until combined. (Do not overmix.) Add eggplant, ham, shallot, parsley, and chile; fold just until incorporated. (Do not overmix.)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in 2 batches, spoon 1/4-cupfuls of batter in 4 mounds into skillet, flattening each slightly after placing in skillet. Cook until browned, 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes and 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Sprinkle fritters evenly with salt. Serve hot with sauce on the side. (If not serving immediately, keep fritters warm in a 250°F oven.)
