The information provided is aimed at guiding you through the services that are available in north east Essex, and how to choose the service that best suits your needs such as:
You can take care of those niggling pains, or an upset tummy, without having to queue or risk passing your illnesses on to others. Keeping your cupboards at home stocked with the basics, such as paracetamol, cough and cold remedies and a nit comb for your children means you can treat yourself and your family all year around.
A quick trip to the local pharmacy is usually enough to get the treatment needed for most minor illnesses. You may not know it but community pharmacists are qualified to offer expert advice there and then, evenings or weekends, there are private consultation rooms available in most pharmacies if you would like to discuss anything in private. Don't worry – if they think you need to be seen somewhere else they will tell you.
Your GP is your best bet with all complex and ongoing conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or a heart condition, as well as any urgent health problems. For those with kids, many GP surgeries will see children the same day for urgent appointments.
Did you know GPs are also available out of hours when your surgery is closed? If you require a GP outside of normal opening hours, please call NHS 111.
NHS 111 makes it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. It provides one, easy-to-remember number that is free to call from landlines or mobiles.
NHS 111 is staffed by a team of fully trained advisors, supported by experienced nurses and paramedics. They will ask questions to assess your symptoms, provide healthcare advice and/or direct you to a local health service that can help you best.

Blood tests (phlebotomy) in Colchester from 1 October, 2019
A note about blood tests from 1 October 2019
The public has asked for simpler services, which has led to the creation of an Urgent Treatment Centre which has replaced the Walk-in Centre. The Urgent Treatment Centre at Colchester Hospital does not provide walk-in blood test (phlebotomy) services.
You continue to be able to access blood test services from your GP practice. Please contact your GP practice for a blood test appointment.

Monday to Wednesday: 7am-2pm
Out of Hours Service from 1 October, 2019
Please be advised that if 111 have booked you an appointment with the Out of Hours Service, this remains at the Primary Care Centre in Turner Road. It is not accessed via the Urgent Treatment Centre at Colchester Hospital.

The coffee giant plans to open up across the street from Brigham Young University's campus in Utah, where Mormonism shuns the "hot drinks" tea and coffee.
Students at Brigham Young University may soon face a latte temptation after Starbucks announced plans to open a location across from the school's Provo, Utah, campus.
Brigham Young University is "founded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," the Mormon church that teaches its parishioners to avoid hot drinks such as coffee and tea.
Starbucks, which confirmed its plans to open the location in 2020 to to NBC News, does contain menu items that directly contradict that doctrine.
The company said in a statement to NBC News that it is excited to have a chance to expand into the Provo community.
The church's teachings come from a guideline on health called the "Word of Wisdom," which comes from doctrines that discourage Mormons from partaking in addictive substances or "hot drinks," which the church has interpreted to mean tea and coffee.
Caffeinated beverages could also be in violation of the Word of Wisdom due to possible health risks and its "subtle addiction," according to a post on the Latter-day Saints' website from 1990.
Brigham Young University declined to comment to NBC News.
The school did, however, begin serving caffeinated soft drinks on its campus in late 2017. The Daily Universe, the campus newspaper, reported at the time that the school's dining services cited the change as a "measure to accommodate consumer requests."
The Daily Universe also reported that the church said in a 2012 blog post that it does not entirely prohibit the use of caffeine.

Brunch is the most important weekend ritual of them all.
It is a time of relaxation, splurging and gorging.
We thought it was time to bring you a list of brunch dishes in Dublin that you just HAVE to try.
1. Meet Me In The Morning – Eggs And Yoghurt
Served with green veg and paprika oil – these are a strong contender for the best eggs in Dublin.
2. BEAR – Mushrooms On Toast
But not just any mushrooms. These are melt-in-your-mouth, miso-butter-fried chestnut mushrooms.
BEAR serve 'em up on sourdough with avo and rocket. I usually lash on an egg or a side of bacon for the craic too.
3. The House – Fish Cake Benedict
With crispy Connemara ham, chilli jam, watercress and creamy hollandaise sauce.
It has been dubbed "the best brunch on the Northside".
4. Eathos – Buckwheat Pancakes
€9.50 for these fluffy beauts and they're served with ricotta, blueberries, coconut yogurt, cacao nibs and agave syrup.
Eathos, you dream.
5. Bow Lane – Eggs On Greens
With grains, freekah, tomatoes, poached eggs and hollandaise for €10. Throw in an espresso martini too – they are amaze.
So you may feel guilty for brunchin', but not too guilty 'cos, well, vegetables.
6. 3FE – Eggs Bene
Although these aren't always on the menu, they are permanently lodged in my top 5 favourite brunches of all time.
The ham hock is shredded to perfection, the poached-ness of the eggs is phenomenal, the sauce is perfectly bitter yet savoury and, of course, all washed down with a cup of gorge coffee. It just doesn't get better than that.
7. Sophie's – French Toast
Drenched in maple syrup and fresh berries for €9.95.
Is there a better way to start the late-afternoon than looking at stunning views of Dublin city?
8. Herbstreet – Full Irish
Grilled McCarren bacon, sausage, creamy scrambled eggs, black pudding, corned beef hash, roast tomato, baked beans and multiseed spelt bread for €14.
Steep enough for a full Irish, but you genuinely won't need to eat for the rest of the day.
9. Union Café – Brisket Sambo
This lil gem over in Mount Merrion serves some serious sandwhich combinations.
The beef brisket on sourdough with caramelised onion, cheese and horseradish mayo is a sure winner.
10. Angelina's – Crab Cakes Benedict
Another fish cake benedict, but this one is HUNREAL. €14 for golden crab cakes with pink grapefruit, avo and chilli kale.
It has to be devoured to be believed.
11. The Exchequer – Sunday Roast For Four
Has to be ordered in advance but at €50 including a bottle of wine, this is as finely as you can possibly eat on a Sunday.
12. De Selby's – Cote de Boeuf
De Selby's do two for one on brunch cocktails. That in itself is a great reason to go.
But this juicy Cote de Boeuf will floor you, in a good way.
13. Taco Taco – Chicken and Waffles
The perfect place for a boozy brunch.
This chicken and waffle stack with sweet potatoes will put you into a weekend-long food coma.
14. Bang Bang – Brunch Burger
Eggs. Cheese. Bacon. Relish. YUM.
This gorge little caf makes Phibsborough my favourite place ever.
15. The Butcher Grill – Baby Back BBQ Ribs
You'll probably want a clear enough head, because dealing with the mess of eating ribs with a hangover is not advised but these are absolutely divine.
16. The Bakehouse – Salmon and Scrambled Eggs
That Liffey view you get from The Bakehouse is unbeatable. And the food is pretty feckin' class to match.
17. Cleaver East – Red Velvet Pancakes
Last but not least. These bad boys come with streaky bacon and maple syrup.
And you will dream about them forever.
Appetites at the ready.
On your marks, get set, go!

It happens to every camping lovers. When you finally set up the same tent you've had for the last ten years, you'll find it too small to store every useless thing you remembered to carry with you.
Every camping lover wishes for a larger accommodation. But buying a really huge tent is not always the main original dream for someone who wishes to enjoy life outdoors, or simply to camp in some music festival.
The new alternative is to go for a Qube tent. It's a modular tent which offers and let you build your tent as large and spacy as you want. The Qube tent was created by the British inventor Jason Thorpe and it's designed to connect with any other Qube – there are two, three and four persons designs – allowing you to create a floor plan, suitable for both you and all your friends.
The tent can be set up in less than two minutes, more or less the same time it'll take to pack it before you leave. All you need to do is bend the flexible stakes and fold it away without effort. It is built with an origami inspired design and the packing bag is also provided with the tent.
The 215 cm high Qube tent is built with a highly reinforced quality nylon and the black lining guarantees total blackout for sleeping so you won't be rudely awakened early in the morning, as the sunlight enters through one of its four windows.
It also features a ventilation system that claims to reduce condensation and offers a strong rain protection.
The company is also offering a complete set of add-ons, such as you can equip a solar panel inside the window to store free solar power energy into a power bank, in order to use it later to charge a smartphone or power optional LED strips.
There are some downsides, though, as it's the case of its 32.65 pounds (15 kg) which makes it uncomfortable to carry it in a backpack and its cost – USD250 – which can also look a little overdue for a two person tent.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will join dozens of scholars who've been focusing on topics ranging from immigration to veterans issues.
Graduation ceremonies are planned in Little Rock, Arkansas for 59 Presidential Leadership Scholars. The event at the Clinton Presidential Center is not open to the public but will be streamed live on the Presidential Leadership Scholars website.
A statement from the ex-presidents says the Moody Foundation Conversation will involve the 2018 class of scholars, including doctors, veterans, business leaders, lawyers, educators and others from across the U.S.
The scholars, for the past six months, worked together to learn about leadership through the presidential experiences of Clinton and Bush, plus former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson.
The event happens Thursday, July 12, 2018.

Okay, so The Great GoogaMooga wasn't all that great—but at a festival packed with chocolate ice cream, drip coffee, beer, and fried chicken, they sure did one thing right: the Porta-Potties.
These were no ordinary Porta-Potties. After gorging on three Baked ice cream sandwiches, a plate of Tertulia paella, half an Umami burger, a dirt cake chocolate pudding from a Top Chef contestant, and three beers—I was pooped and ready to pee.
But unlike any other porta-potty I've ever seen in my entire life, these porta-potties had character. They had cleanliness. Immaculate seats and walls, no stench, and the best part: outside sink stations with pedal-pumped water and soap. So you can wash your hands.
For the four hours I was there (after circling the entirety of the park to find the tickets tent), I actually looked forward to going to the bathroom. Part of it was because I wanted to wait out the long line at the Dinosaur BBQ stand and mourn (in private) the fact that Wooly's Ice was sold out by 3pm. Also, I drank too much beer. But most of all, I just appreciated the clean space and antibacterial soap.
So next year, even if they continue to only serve dead animals and abstain from handing out Disneyland-style fast passes, let's hope they do one thing right: preserve the potties.

I noticed 3.8 haves a new "rand" operator.
My questions is how to get random content using the sample template code:
$photos=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash ( parent_node_id, 170, limit, 6, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array( 'image' ), sort_by, array( 'published', false() ) ) )
The documentation pages doest include any reference to this new operator.
Any help ?

A quick look in ezpublish/lib/eztemplate/classes/eztemplateartihmeticoperator.php tells me that it's just a wrapper for the PHP mt_rand() function:
int mt_rand ( [int min, int max] )
When called with no parameters it returns an integer between 0 and MAX_INT (2^31-1), when called with two parameters it returns an integer in the range min, max.
So to get a random object you can do something like this:
{$max=fetch('content', 'tree_count', hash(parent_node_id, 2))} {$node=fetch('content', 'tree', hash(parent_node_id, 2, offset, rand(0,$max), limit, 1))}
Add class and/or attribute filters to both fetches as appropiate.

I can't think of any way to fetch multiple random nodes with a single fetch. The only solution that comes to mind is to use a while loop to pushes randomly selected nodes onto an array:
You probably want to make sure you don't end up with duplicate elements too:
...that should help you end up with a nice array of 10 randomly selected, unique nodes.
Good luck
Friday 23 May 2008 1:24:57 pm
To work correctly, I need to add this in the code:
{def $max=sum(fetch('content', 'tree_count', hash('parent_node_id', 175)),-1)} {def $random_project=fetch('content', 'tree', hash('parent_node_id', 175, 'offset', rand(0,$max), 'limit', 1))}
Without -1, I have sometimes an empty value because the offset generated is too high.
Monday 28 June 2010 11:10:12 pm
You could also try to add shuffle to the end of your fetch-string, something like:
{$photos=fetch( 'content', 'tree', hash ( parent_node_id, 170, limit, 6, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array( 'image' ), sort_by, array( 'published', false() ) ) )|shuffle}

Blog stuff
In light of recent events and several comments by regular readers going to the spam folder, avoid using the word socialism, for some reason.
In light of recent events and several comments by regular readers going to the spam folder, avoid using the word socialism, for some reason.
Hmmm. As That Guy says, "and so it begins."
hmmmm. Two options- either we were all correct and are soon to be justified in our objections to the so called 'Net Neuter-ality' (did I spell that right?) issue, or the interwebz have decided that so cia list propaganda is basically aligned with limp members of society, and constitutes spam. While I would prefer to think it is the former, Occams Razor suggests that spammers have found out how easy it is to add a letter in the beginning and end of a word to sneak it past the censors.
I had occasion to use the term "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" in my last blogpost. Perhaps everything will work out better if we use certain terms in German.
What does it do with Washita stone?
Has anybody been to New York via Grand Central Station?
Schoene Prinzip there, Tirno. Anything about "Leadership!" really needs to be said in German.
It just sounds so much more…natural.
We'll need umlauts, though. Corner that market.
Um… guys, if you look at the bolded part of the word, i think that is the real problem.
Oh, you! Interrupting a perfectly good conspiracy-klatsch! 😀
I guess DemCong or LibCong are still allowed by the Ministry of Truth.
Jesus Christ the stupid burns sometimes… Funny op, a couple of terrifying comments
comatus, while that may be true, I just noted that the phrasing in German didn't include the sequence of characters that happen to coincide with a spam marketed medication.
As long as I can still say fart, dang, and fudge I am okay.
i still love you guys, so Pol must be on to something.
Just call the Democrats fascists, and be done with it.
I don't think there is a penis pill out yet similar to the brownshirt crowd's nameplate …
Sorry about that. Must have had my Aspergers turned up to 11 this morning…
Once net-neutrality is fully implemented, that word in your post will be automatically replaced by "fair economics"…
We have always been at war with male sexual dysfunction…

The facts are known. On September 11th, 2001, four airplanes were hijacked in the USA. Two crashed into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one in fields in Pennsylvania. The FBI was quick to publish a list of hijackers and President George W. Bush followed by declaring war on terrorism.
Since then, world attention has shifted to Afghanistan and war with Iraq. After an initial flurry of unreliable information in the press, little has been said about the hijackers. Most of them were Saudi Arabians.
The producers of this documentary wanted to know how Saudi Arabians reacted to the attacks and how they view such acts. They also tried to find out who these hijackers were, what kind of background they came from and what would make them undertake such a criminal act?
The attacks of September 11th have usually been seen from an American and/or Western perspective, and often in simplistic terms. This is an attempt to present a different view so we have a better picture of ''Who''carried out the attacks and ''Why''.
Using the famililes of the hijackers as a springboard, this film takes us into Saudi Arabia and Saudi society. There are many views put forth, some of which are contradictory and some of which challenge the accepted wisdom of the West. This film is a unique opportunity to look at September 11th through Saudi eyes.

The world's most famous smartphone is the iPhone produced by Apple Inc (Nasdaq: AAPL). Its first generation iPhone was a huge success when it was launched in 29 June 2007 under leadership of visionary Steve Jobs. The last stock split of 7-to-1 was carried out in June 2014 when price was $645.57. Since then price of Apple has doubled again to ~180.
However, something is odd when InvestingHaven's team checked the monthly chart of Apple Inc. And it seems to be consistent with the fundamental reason of why Apple wants to cut down production by half as announced during its earnings report on 1st Feb 2018.
Monthly chart of Apple
The price of Apple has been forming a potential pennant since Sep 2012. And for the 3 months of Nov 17 to Jan 18, price has been stagnated and couldn't break the 177-180 resistance area. There is a high probability that a correction is underway. There are 3 crucial levels of downside support, smart investors are watching them closely.
Weekly chart of apple
To have a better gauge of the potential support levels we zoom in into weekly chart.
The next immediate support is ~156.55, should this level fail which we highly suspect by the way then ~141 will be next potential support level. In between 141 < x < 156.55 we do expect lots of volatility.
Ultimately, the strongest, and, hence, most crucial support level, according to InvestingHaven's team, is ~132. Uncoincidentally, this is the previous strong resistance point which, if respected, will result in resistance turning into support.

Electrified DB6 previews reversible EV powertrain
Fancy making your classic Aston Martin more socially responsible? No, us neither...
Remember the Jaguar E-Type Zero with an electric powertrain we drove a few months ago? Well, that in a nutshell, is what we have here. Certainly Aston Martin's target audience is the same: classic car owners keen to keep their pride and joy running when the curtain finally drops on anything (or anything much) powered by petrol.
A 'radical idea (that) mitigates possible future restriction of classic car usage' is how the brand describes it - which is asking rather a lot of the word "radical' given that it has been well beaten to the punch - nevertheless, it promises to do exactly what it says on the tin, and Aston Martin has wheeled out an electrified 1970 DB6 MkII Volante as proof of concept.
The "cassette" EV powertrain underneath has apparently been developed using experience gleaned from Gaydon's final phase development of the Rapide E (not to mention the all-new range of Lagondas that loom large on Aston's horizon). There's no word on output yet, although much like Jaguar's arrangement, the self-contained cell neatly replaces what would have formerly been oily bits, and even uses the original engine and gearbox mounts.
Once in place, umbilical cords from the power unit feed the car's electrical systems, with power management operated via a dedicated screen in the cabin. Aston is, of course, adamant that the conversion is 'sympathetic to the integrity of the original car' and reiterates that while it is ultimately aimed at future-proofing its extensive back catalouge, there's nothing to stop the original powertrain being reinstated (apart from the added cost, presumably).
Andy Palmer, Aston Martin Lagonda President and Group Chief Executive Officer, said of the Heritage EV concept: "We are very aware of the environmental and social pressures that threaten to restrict the use of classic cars in the years to come. Our Second Century Plan not only encompasses our new and future models, but also protects our treasured heritage. I believe this not only makes Aston Martin unique, but a truly forward-thinking leader in this field."
Well, not unique, Andy. But forward-thinking? Sure. Aston Martin doesn't need us to point out that the value of its heritage models is at an all-time high. Nor does it need to sell us on the idea that there are customers willing to submit their car to a heart transplant with the aim of extending their usable life span. There will be some, no doubt. For anyone itching to make the change, it'll be Aston Martin Works handling the conversions, which are expected to kick off next year. No word on price either, but if you have to ask...
I appreciate that cars like this are probably not going to be used for commuting or anything other than driving to and from car shows in the summer, but for people that want a usable classic as a daily / regular drive, then this presents a tempting alternative than having a separate EV. This is especially the case if your car is in need of a new engine.
I totally understand why people don't like this as a classic car has effectively been ruined. Maybe the sacrifice will keep more similar cars on the road in the future though?
- Disappointing that people think its a good idea to take all the character out of a beautiful classic for no sensible reason.
- Disappointing that anybody would butcher a slice of history like this (like putting solar panels and a windfarm on Windsor Castle).
- And most disappointing of all is that nobody thinks they can produce a modern all-electric car designed from the ground-up with the same beauty and style as the DB6 volante.
Put new technology in new cars which are designed to fully exploit the EV powertrain rather than a butchered and expensive compromise. This is utter sacrilege.
Also, if anyone in their right mind thinks that manufacturing another Powertrain and shipping it all round the globe is more efficient than just using the one that's in it should be shot in the head.
I'm as much a petrolhead as anyone else but it's just a car, the car itself will still exist as no doubt it's original engine will too. If you actually read the article it states the electric power-train is a bolt in/bolt out job using the existing engine mounts, hardly butchery!
While I like the idea of making EVs look less ridiculous I don't like the idea of ruining DB6s!

Is Tube Profit Sniper A Scam? Read This Before Investing!
Tube Profit Sniper is a system that claims to allow you to earn up to $500 a day. The sales video claims that you can make up to $500 per day from just 17 minutes set up time.
You don't even need any special skills, experience or training according to the sales video. This system supposedly works by relying on YouTube. It claims that this system will allow you to earn a part of the sales revenue that is generated through YouTube.
The creator and owner of this system is Mike Andrews. There is no picture of Mike in the sales video, so it is hard to say if he is a real person or a fake name.
In this Tube Profit Sniper review, I will share my honest opinion about this system and help you in deciding if you should buy it or not.
Product Name: Tube Profit Sniper
Overall Rating: 4.0 out of 10
How Does Tube Profit Sniper Work?
There is very basic information available in the sales video about how Tube Profit Sniper works. You are told that you will be making money through YouTube, but the details are missing. The sales video mostly focuses on hype and not on what is taught in the training. Anyway, after some research I was able to uncover the contents of the training.
Following are some of the topics that are covered in the training.
- Start a YouTube channel
- Find good keywords to get your videos ranked
- Add a logo or image to your channel
- Add a description to your channel
- Add pictures to your videos
- Analyze competition
There is a total of 9 videos covering different topics. The training is missing a lot of things, but it can work.
It will teach you how to earn money by promoting products through your YouTube channel. You can earn money, but not in the manner that the sales video claims. The training is low-quality, and you can find all of the training for free.
You can just go to YouTube and learn much more than what is covered in the training for free. So, I don't really see why you need this product.
More Information About Tube Profit Sniper
It is not just that the training is weak, but the website has a lot of red flags that prove that this is a scam. First of all, the testimonials are fake as they have been done by paid actors. It is quite common among scams to use paid actors for testimonials from websites like Fiverr.
Not only the testimonials, but the social proofs are also fake. If you will see carefully, then you will find that the picture of one person is the same in two different testimonials. The name is different, but the picture is the same. This means that this person is not actually related to this system. In other words, the social proofs are fake because a real person would not use two different names.
The owner of this system is fake as well. I don't think that the real name of the owner is Mike Andrews.
I could not find anything about Mike Andrews online. There is no proof that he exists and has made as much money as he claims. The picture of his friend that is shown in the video is taken from other websites. So, the picture of his friend is also fake just like everything else in the sales video.
The sales video uses a lot of hype and pressure tactics. The sales video claims that there are limited spots left. However, I know for sure that there is no limit to the number of spots available. The viewer count below the sales video is fake. It keeps on increasing, but it will drop as soon as you refresh the page.
The story that you are told about the owner should be fake. Everything else in the video is fake, so the story should be fake as well. This system is a scam without any doubt.
All the lies and fake stuff is enough to convince anyone that this is a scam.
How Much Does It Cost to Join?
The original price of Tube Profit Sniper is $37, but you can get a discount if you try to exit the page. After the discount, the price will be reduced to $17.
If this system actually did what it claimed, then the original price would have been much higher, and there would be no discounts. Even the $17 price tag is expensive because all of the training is available for free.
How Much Can I Earn?
YouTube is an awesome place for promoting products. If you do everything right, then you can earn $500 or more per day after a few years. The problem is that most people will not be able to earn enough because of the poor training. A lot depends on the quality of the training when it comes to earning money online.
It takes time to get recognized by people on YouTube and become an authority figure.
I personally feel that the training will not show you the way to become an authority figure. The choice of your niche and the topics that you choose will affect your traffic. If you choose topics that are very popular, then you will face competition from big channels and struggle from day one.
If you do it right, then you can grow your channel slowly and steadily. I don't think that you should worry about money in the first few months because you will most likely earn little to no income in the initial months. The training is missing details about getting traffic.
So, your options are to learn from somewhere else or just focus on content and slowly get traffic through YouTube.
This poor training puts you at a disadvantage because YouTube has become really competitive. I don't think that most newbies will be able to earn much income through this training.
Are There Any Complaints?
No, I could not find any complaints. I have a few concerns that I have listed below.
The testimonials are fake.
The viewer count is fake.
Bottom Line
Tube Profit Sniper is a scam as I mentioned earlier. I would never recommend getting involved in this scam because the training is not worth it.
The hype and lies will unfortunately misguide some people, but you know all of the details now. The sales video has enough red flags to prove that this is a scam. Good luck and stay away from scams.
· 60 days money-back guarantee through ClickBank
· No traffic training
· Lies in the sales video
· Fake owner
· Fake income proofs
· Fake testimonials
· Fake social proofs
· Fake viewer count
· Expensive upsells
How Do I Personally Earn Money Online?
I know that you want to try Tube Profit Sniper because you are fascinated by the earning claims that they say. I also feel that you just want to build something that can help you earn some extra cash online.
But let me tell you that not all training programs are true and legit. Some of them are just promising to help you earn some money but most of them are just too good to be true.
You should remember to double check the program that you want to invest on before giving your time and effort. In this way, you will not waste your time for it.
If you are still looking for a new source of income that can help you, then you can also look into my personal choice. My best suggestion would be through making your own online business with a support from community. Affiliate marketing is a good source of online income and it can be done at the comfort of your home.
Right now, I am on my third year in this community and I am already enjoying the fruits of my labor. So, I want to share the things that I did so you can also follow and benefit from it.
Check Out My Review on the #1 Recommended Work at Home Opportunity.
If you have more questions, concerns or personal experience about the Tube Profit Sniper, feel free to comment it below and I would be glad to interact with you.
Please let me hear your experiences and personal concerns on the comments below and I would try my best to help you!

All pop music plays into the Big Lie. Hitler famously coined the term, and the general idea is that if you can tell a big enough lie and position it at the heart of a propaganda campaign, people would believe it purely out of the assumption that no one could possibly state something so untrue. And naturally, if they believe that part of the propaganda, then the rest of it follows suit. Continue reading "Billy Joel's Piano Man and the Big Lie"
A few days ago, the New York Times ran a piece by Ross Douthat entitled "Let's Ban Porn". Given that he's the only self-identifying conservative on the NYT's editorial board who seems to write like one, it's worth giving a look for those of you that haven't yet had the chance. He broadly addresses the commodification of sex and sexual education into a pre-packaged consumer product and the subsequent dehumanization of both men and women as a result, avoiding the more tedious critiques against porn that involve statistics about erectile dysfunction, testosterone levels, and depression. Since his piece isn't that long, it's no surprise that he keeps his overview limited to a generalized criticism. Continue reading "Banning Porn to Own Libs"

Fascism TV! Brought to You By The Powers That Be
This country is utterly and, perhaps, irreconcilably divided. President Trump was inaugurated without incident, though riots reported as 'protests' marred the capital for a few days. The left-wing media complex has been active at full steam churning out one false narrative after another, reeling from the flurry of activity that the Trump administration has pumped out just in the first ten days of office. And the ambiguously-named and crypto-anarchist march on Washington dubbed a 'Women's March' became one of the most reported demonstrations in the world, with similar events staged in metropolitan centers across the country, although no one actually seems to know what the march was supposed to be about. It's been a long couple weeks.
And yet, for those of us with actual lives, nothing that's been reported on makes any sense. Continue reading "Fascism TV! Brought to You By The Powers That Be"
Mansplaining Twilight in an Age of Feminism
A modern social internet commentator should have little fear today of being accused of misogyny or bigotry, or almost any other Lefty lingo used to silence the opposition. They have abused the words to such an extent that sitting down in a subway car with your legs spread has become misogynist, that believing that a family has a tangible definition that relies on the immutable roles of a father, a mother, and children is bigoted, and that worrying about how rape investigations have flipped the rule of law on its head on college campuses is tantamount to rape-apologeticism. To any normal person, things like this paint feminists in such a terrible light that it's clear that their shrill, attention-seeking yammering is about as consequential as the obnoxious yipping of your neighbor's small, neurotic dog. It's grating and annoying, but its only power comes from the fact that other people sympathize with it more than they do with you.
So it is with this in mind that I begin my general review of the Twilight films. Continue reading "Mansplaining Twilight in an Age of Feminism"

Wild Science appearance on the Victoria Derbyshire show which aired on BBC2
The owner of Wild Science, Joshua Jameson is discussing the need for more regulation of the 'animal experience/mobile zoo' industry and reveals what we do to keep our animals safe and secure.
We only use animals that are appropriate to be transported and handled and will never use Meerkats, skunks or monkeys. We will never use an animal that is injured or unwell and they will not be taken out in unsafe conditions (eg. rabbits are sensitive to hot weather etc.) even if the customer has specifically requested them.
We ask that you are vigilant when booking any animal experience or encounter. Do ask how the animals are cared for and if they can guarantee you an animal, be warned. We have compiled the following points to look out for;
- Do the animals look calm and relaxed?
- Does the animal look in good health (no eye conditions etc.)?
- Was the animal happy to be picked up?
- Is the animal and travel container clean?
- Does the animal look well fed?
If the answer is 'no' to any of those questions, you can contact the RSPCA and they can advise you further.
If you're interested in finding out more about Wild Science, for bookings and/or availability, please call 020 3372 4300 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

For People: A Gift Certificate!Okay, we know that the holidays are a busy time. Perhaps you just haven't had time to buy gifts for all your old maid cat lady friends. Or maybe one of them surprised you with a gift you weren't expecting. Whatever the case, you're stuck two days before Christmas without a gift for them. There's no time to order anything and have it here in time!
Fortunately, Old Maid Cat Lady offers gift certificates in several denominations to meet your needs. Just print one and put it inside a nice card. And because we also carry products for cat lovers as well as for cats, your gift won't seem like you're buying the recipient something only for their cat.
Got a co-worker you barely know, other than the multitude of photos of her cat she has on her cubicle walls? Of course, her name is the one you've drawn for the office's Secret Santa gift exchange. Get her a $20 gift certificate. She'll always have a special fondness for you.
Maybe you've just started dating a girl who seems to have a particular attachment to her cat. You don't want to give her the idea that you're too serious, but you need to get her something as a token of your affection. The $30 gift certificate may be just the right size for her.
Your secretary has done a great job for you all year. Her desk has a frame with a photo of her hugging a cat. Since you don't really discuss those types of things with her, you're not sure if the cat's one she still has or if she's recently lost him. Not wanting to create an emotional outburst, you don't want to specifically get her something for the cat. Try the $40 gift certificate. If she still has the cat, she can buy something for it, or a cat-themed product for herself. And if the cat's no longer around, there's an entire section of bereavement products like urns for his ashes that she can buy with it. Problem solved.
Your golfing buddy has just adopted a new cat and can't stop talking about it. He even carries a photo of the cat in his wallet! Save him the greens fees for your next golf outing by letting him spend some money on his new little darling with a $50 gift certificate.
You need a little something for your Aunt Ruth, who adores her cat. She's been pretty good to you through the years, as well. For her, a $75 gift certificate will show your appreciation.
Maybe you're really up the creek: you've been so busy with work, it's almost Christmas, and you haven't yet bought anything for your mother. She's always talking about the cat she's adopted since you moved out. Indulge her with a $100 gift certificate.
If you're serious about that girlfriend who loves her cat, but you're not quite ready to buy her a ring, impress her with a $200 gift certificate. That'll give her plenty of room to buy something she really wants for herself, and maybe even have enough left over to buy her cat something.
So for all your giftgiving needs, Old Maid Cat Lady has you covered! Now, if you can just find something for that annoying neighbor with the barking dogs...

So we have all seen those savings plans that break down how much to have to put away a week to save tons right? Has anyone actually been disciplined enough to actually save the money? No one I know gets past like week 20! But guess what I found a way to actually save a $1,000 in a year EASILY!
So for the past couple of months, I have really been looking at a way to improve my money management so that I can crush my financial goals and overall be more financially secure. Along the way, I have found some amazing apps that REALLY have helped me save so much money! (click here for the list)
But one app that made me really feel like I can finally complete a 52-week challenge was Qapital!
It's online banking that helps you save for your goals with fun "rules"!
And one of the rules was the 52-week savings challenge!!!!!! So what you do is:
1. Download the app to your Android or IOS device
2. Link your current debit card to the app
3. Set a goal to save towards like for example, Christmas.
4. The add some "rules" to your goals to help you save!
So for myself, I made a Goal of a $1,000 by the end of the year as a rainy day fund. Now every week Qapital will follow the 52-week saving challenge and take the money from my account and deposit it into my goals account! I'll crush that goal without even thinking about it!
Still not convinced? Watch this!
Happy Savings!

Your babies have been co-rooming or co-sleeping with you since birth and they are getting bigger. Now that they are toddlers, you feel they're ready to room in together in their own shared bedroom. The question is: how to get your 2yo & 4yo to sleep together in the same bedroom?
(It can be any age combination, but I'm choosing one that's most common).
The first thing to consider is whether one of them is already sleeping through the night. If both of them are still struggling with sleep issues, then it's not a great idea to move them into the same room together yet.
If one of them is sleeping well, but the other one is still struggling, then I suggest to work on improving his or her sleep first.
If the both of them are sleeping fairly well, then do the next following steps:
1. Talk to them about the idea of rooming in together. It should be casually mentioned during mealtimes or playtime (when they are relaxed). See how they feel about it. Ask them and be curious about their concerns and questions. Children at this age appreciate as much information as they can get. Even better, show them photos or videos for them to understand clearly.
2. Involve them in choosing their own bedding, their sleep toys/stuffed animals to sleep with and perhaps the colour of their bedroom.
3. On the first night, be prepared to have an extra long bedtime routine. Throw in some bedtime games like 'rolling power' where you roll one up in a blanket or duvet like a sushi, and then unroll them back into their bed.
Wrestling games are also helpful to get some fears and anxieties out before they separate with you for the night. You could put lots of pillows on the bed or on the floor for extra protection. Then one by one, they push against you trying to 'pin' you down onto the floor. You would then pretend that they were too strong and you fall on the pillows saying "Gosh you guys are such strong children! I can never win at this game!". Repeat this over and over again to get the giggles and laughter out.
4. The bedtime games can be part of the bedtime routine, or you could switch it up and do story time and lots of cuddles.
5. When the lights are out, they are in their own beds. You inform them that they are safe in this room and at any time they need you or dad, you will be right back into the room. If they wake in the night, you would help them go back to sleep in their beds.
6. If there are some tears come up as you say this, don't be alarmed. Stay calm and show empathy. Listen to the tears and tell them how much you love them and how safe they are in the bedroom. Do not rush this process. This is one of the most important steps to gain their confidence to sleep in their room. Crying helps them release the big fears. When big fears are released, they are able to relax and go to sleep.
7. You could stay in the room until they are both asleep, then walk out.
8. Repeat the bedtime games and listening to tears for several nights, or until there are no more tears at bedtime. If done consistently, you should be seeing no tears in less than a week's time.
9. To reassure them that they are still loved, even though they no longer sleep in your bed or room, carve out some Special Time each day that week to fill up their tanks. Special Time helps children feel your loving presence even though you set limits and new rules when it comes to sleep.
When done this way, you not only take their feelings into consideration but they are very involved from the beginning. Them being able to decide on a few things would allow them to have some autonomy and this is very important that they feel some form of control over the change.
Using this approach, after they happily sleep together in their room, there is always room for being flexible for them to sleep in your room one night and back to their own room the next night without fuss. They will still try to ask if they could sleep with you, but you can choose to say yes or no depending on the circumstances.
Having a sibling to go to sleep together is going to be one of the most treasured moments and memories for your little ones. It's really a very sweet and heartwarming thing to watch.
I hope that was helpful. All the best with the move!

Mac and Me (1988) Movie Summary
Listen to the Film Review
Mac and Me begins as a NASA spacecraft lands on an unknown planet. While it resembles Southern California, it is definitely not, so the craft collects rock and soil samples. A family of quite aliens discover it, and are sucked up through its vacuum (which is their one true weakness).
The craft then takes off with the family, and is heads back to Earth. The aliens escape from a military base, but during melee, the youngest alien is separated from his family. He hides in a passing van, occupied by a wheelchair-bound boy named Eric Cruise, his older brother, Michael, and their single mother, Janet, who are moving to California.
Try a Coca-Cola while you watch kids in wheelchairs fall off cliffs
One day, Eric falls off a cliff, and he hurls into a lake while in his wheelchair – apparently just yards from his suburban Cali home. The little alien sees his plight, and he rescues Eric. Eric tells people the truth of what happened, but no one believes him. Eric sets a trap with the help of Debbie, because she is the only other person who sees the alien. They capture, and then release the alien. Eric's brother Michael now believes Eric, but the alien disappears again, and they cannot convince their mom he's real.
Eventually, FBI agents Wickett and Zimmerman track down the alien to the Cruise residence. The kids immediately recognize them, and Eric leaves with the alien, whom he names MAC.
Epic hi-jinx ensue during the well-written and wonderfully filmed pursuit of the little creature. FBI agents are so inept, it's surprising they haven't hired Chris, himself. It truly is a thing of beauty. At one point, the little graceful alien takes to dance, and I will be damned if it doesn't make me tear up.
McDonalds is a proud sponsor of Mac and Me
The kids reunite MAC with it's family when they miraculously find them in an abandoned mine. While stopping at a gas station, they accidentally alert security. Of course there is a shoot out, and Eric is caught in the crossfire, and he dies in the explosion. MAC and his family then use their powers of good and love of all-things rubbery suit related, and they bring Eric back to life.
For saving Eric, the government grants MAC and his family U.S. citizenship, until Donald Trump becomes president. Then INS has to get involved.
There is a final scene which assumes there will be a sequel, and that is certainly the funniest moment of this film. Hopefully McDonalds and Coca-Cola sponsor that film too!
Add the film to your collection!

Santa Cruz, California Field Trip/ Vacation
This boat is 70 feet long and took us out into Monterrey Bay to see an otter and seagull and lots of other stuff. We learned about marine biology of the area from a marine biologist named Jessica.
It worked well until G#2 got sea sick and of course, I didn't have the proper medicine to alleviate her condition. She was well taken care of during the trip by the crew who also steered, raise/lower the sails and served us breakfast.
We later visited the Seymour Marine Science Center at University of California Santa Cruz to have our hands on sea urchin, hermit crabs, sea stars, kelp, swell shark, mussels and barnacles. We got to see how big Mr. Gray whale's skeleton is and compared it to Ms. Blue (whom we took a picture with).
We later were introduced to a Redwood forest nearby. Several hikes in beautiful weather were a huge blessing. We hiked at Natural Bridges State Park and Wilder Ranch State Park. We saw high tide and low tide in the same spot and marveled at the power waves and amount of sound from the ocean. Wonderful!

We are in the middle of a time of the year when millions of Americans will be hitting the roads to visit family members and friends for the holidays. Many Ohio residents will be doing the same, with some driving across the country while others keep their travels rather local. Either way, increased traffic on the roadways will almost inevitably lead to an increase in the number of traffic accidents that occur.
Many car accidents are simple collisions with only limited scuffs, but there are some that lead to serious property damage and injuries for drivers and passengers involved in the collisions. In these serious incidents, it is more likely than not that one party over another was responsible for causing the collision. When this is the case, the injured victims will likely need to take immediate steps to protect their legal rights.
For starters, gathering evidence for a personal injury lawsuit usually needs to begin immediately. Contact information from eyewitnesses to the crash needs to be collected just in case those individuals need to be called to testify later about what they saw when the crash occurred. Photographs need to be taken as well, particularly of the accident scene, the vehicles involved and any injuries that occurred.
At our law firm, we know that many Ohio residents will be involved in motor vehicle accidents during this time of the year. We do our best to help our clients protect their legal rights when it comes to potential personal injury lawsuits. For more information about how we might be able to help in your case, please visit the personal injury overview section of our law firm's website.

By Erin McInnis and Joe Pagetta
Picture the scene. We're in London where there has been a rash of seemingly identical suicides. Or has there? Wanting to reassure the community, Inspector Lestrade holds a press conference to release a statement and answer questions from the media. In true Holmes fashion, Sherlock e-blasts his opinion via text message to every reporter in the room. In a separate text to Lestrade, he announces his availability as a detective for hire. On the other side of town, Afghanistan war veteran Dr. John Watson is looking for a place to live while he recovers from his war wounds. Seeking a flatmate himself, Holmes zeroes in on Watson, gleaning an enormous amount of personal information about the doctor from a glance and feel of the doctor's cell phone. And when Watson wants to learn a little about Holmes, well, he does what anyone else would do: he consults the internet.
Wait …Text messages? Cell Phones? The Internet? Welcome to a truly contemporary Sherlock Holmes. Fans of House, The Mentalist and Monk — all shows indebted to Sherlock Holmes — will eat up Sherlock, the new Masterpiece Contemporary adaption of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective stories. It's fast-paced in dialogue and plot twists, and utterly thrilling. The 3-part series premieres on Sunday, October 24 at 8 p.m. Central on NPT and PBS stations nationwide, but the previews have us thinking about what other literary characters and stories are ripe for a contemporary makeover. We put our heads together and came up with eight we felt are easily translatable to modern times, avoiding those stories that have been remade in recent years (Scarlet Letter/Easy A, Pride & Prejudice/Bridget Jones' Diary, Emma/Clueless, etc.).
What do you think? Any stories you'd like to see get a makeover?
Cyrano de Bergerac (Edmond Rostand)
Admittedly, Steve Martin modernized Edmond Rostand's play quite successfully with the charming Roxane, but technological advances since make this tale of the big-nosed Romeo a must for modernization must. Facebook, Match, eHarmony, MySpace, Linkedin, E-mail, text messaging … all of these, and more, make it possible to be someone else. Because of his overly-large nose, Cy believes he is doomed to live life without the woman he loves, so he creates the perfect man for her, one with all of his own charm and wit and someone else's profile picture.
Don Juan (first written version by Gabriel Tellez, aka Tirso de Molina, in the play El Burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra)
John Donovan is on the Wall Street fast track, but he's as obsessed with seducing the women of Wall Street as he is with making money. He's got all the contemporary tools of wealthy seduction. Armani suit? Check. He's got an iPad and an iPhone to show the pretty ladies his portfolio, and a Blackberry to send seductive text messages from across the office. He checks the time on his Rolex. When he's not on the subway seducing the Bridge and Tunnelers, he rolls in a BMW 5 series. But this isn't only about seduction, it's also about money and power. When the president of a major bank dies suddenly from a heart attack, the news rocks Wall Street. The president's young, single daughter, and her inheritance, becomes Donovan's prime target.
Don Quixote (Cervantes)
Lonely and middle aged, Alonso spends his days in the Kensington area of London reading about the Royal family and longing for the life he doesn't have. He's obsessed. So much so, that he believes he IS royalty. But just being a member of the family isn't enough. He must live up to the new example established by his beloved Princess Diana and her fight for social justice. Diana's tragic death puts him over the edge and sends him into action. Delusional, he leaves his home, claiming to be a member of the Royal Family and looking to right wrongs, real and imagined, wherever he can. In his first quest, he comes across a woman, caged and naked outside a sporting arena. He sets to work freeing her in the name of women's equality, only to be arrested for the destruction of property and disturbing a peaceful PETA protest of the circus. It's only the beginning of a series of misguided quests. Shortly before embarking on his next quest, he discovers his neighbor Aldonza Lorenzo, who in his delusional and infatuated state, looks to Alonso exactly like Princess Diana. In fact, he thinks it might even be her come back to life! In a twist, he must now right wrongs and injustices in Diana's name, but also do it to win her love!
Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)
In search of adventure and a better life, Jane Eyre leaves her home country and finds employment as a nanny for wealthy single parent Ed Rochester. Though undocumented, she seems to have escaped the fate of many others in her position, and is not a victim of unpaid wages, uncompensated workplace injuries, or hazardous working conditions.. She lives comfortably, cares for two delightful children and has the love of her charming employer. She seems to have the world at her fingertips and has found her one true love. But there's a madwoman in the attic.
Nick and Nora Charles (created by Dashiell Hammett in The Thin Man)
Like Sherlock and Watson, Nick and Nora Charles (and their dog Asta) are easily malleable. They are timeless characters, able to be placed in a variety of different times and situations (which explains their prolific life in film and television from the 1930's-1950's). Nick, a former NYPD police detective, is now a private detective for the wealthy and married to socialite Nora. They frequently find themselves intertwined in the dark side of their glamorous lives, racing against the clock to solve just one more case.
Oliver Twist (Charles Dickens)
Oliver is born to a single mother in a gritty, gang-laden area of Mexico. His mother is killed shortly after the birth, in the crossfire of senseless drug war violence. Oliver winds up in an orphanage and care of the state. By the time he's ten, he's bouncing around foster care, and in one foster family, forced to work in a sweat shop making T-shirts to be shipped to the United States. The other children are brutal, but Oliver eventually escapes over the border and finds his way to Los Angeles, where he meets a few other runaways who introduce him to Fagin, a low-level drug dealer and pimp who enlists the services of young runaway boys and girls. Pretty soon, without much of an option, Oliver emerges on the streets of L.A. with a new moniker, TWIST.
The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde)
In modern day Los Angeles, beauty and modeling is big business, but for photographer Basil Hallward, it's still about Art. He admires David LaChapelle and Helmut Newton, and in Dora Gray, he's found his subject and muse. The stunningly beautiful, but young and naive Gray sits for Hallward for hours at a time, and the results are the toast of the photography world and favorites of Gray herself. Hallward's friend Henry Wooten traverses the art world, and occasionally even patronizes Hallward, but his interest in art is more about the parties and the glamour than the art itself. He corrupts the young Gray, introducing her to a decadent life of parties and cocaine while telling her that her beauty will fade. He encourages her to live in the now. Pretty soon, she's famous for being famous, known less for her beauty in fashion spreads and more for her being sprawled out on sidewalks outside nightclubs. Gray becomes more and more obsessed each day by the paparazzi images of herself in the celebrity magazines. When she looks at the pictures, she sees the young, beautiful Gray she thinks she still is, but in the beloved original portraits by Hallward, her beauty is fading.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Jules Verne)
The enigmatic misanthrope Captain Nemo is an extreme environmentalist waging his own private crusade against anyone destroying the deep oceans he calls home. Professor Peter Aronnax is hired by the government to document the investigation into a series of attacks on international shipping and oil rigs. Circumstances provide the means for Captain Nemo to bring the Professor, and two of his colleagues, on board his submarine, the Nautilus, as his prisoners. Influenced by his own desires, Nemo allows the Professor to continue his documentation. A man so far ahead of his time that the majority of the world can only see him as a monster, the true purpose behind Captain Nemo's crusade, and his rise as a tragic hero, is filed away with the Professor's report after a yearlong world-wide undersea adventure. A perfect candidate for the pseudo-documentary style used in films such as Cloverfield and District 9.

Letter to the Editor | Rick Gundrum for 58th Assembly District | By Lois Krueger-Gundrum
Dec. 15, 2017 – Washington Co., WI – On Tuesday, Dec. 19 we will be electing a representative for the 58th Assembly District. It is important we choose the right candidate.
I helped campaign door to door for Rick Gundrum. Many times I met people who said "I know Rick. Roman and Mary were his parents." They recalled that Rick would drive his parents to appointments and events. Rick was a good son who gave up opportunities in his career to care for his parents. The qualities of a good son are also the qualities of a good husband, parent, and grandparent.
He knows about the issues of the aged and knows the best way to ensure their needs are met is to not only continue a service, but to reduce costs. In his position on the Washington County Board and as Chairman, Rick lead the efforts to merge the Washington and Ozaukee Board of Health to reduce costs by saving taxpayers $300,000 annually and improving services to those in need, chaired the Aging Disability Resource Center Board to ensure the elderly and disabled are getting the services they need, and advocated to update the vehicles for the shared ride taxi so the elderly and physically challenged could get to their appointments.
Rick is all about family. Each year family members look forward to receiving his picture postcards that share family memories. He is a great stepdad and a favorite grandparent. Rick will drop everything to attend a grandkid's concert, school event, or sport activity. He wants to ensure a prosperous future and education opportunities for his family and yours. That's why he supports school choice and feels investing in education is a necessity.
Rick works to make his community a better place. He gets involved in community fundraisers is currently a member of the Slinger Advancement Association, a past member of the Slinger Allenton Rotary Paul Harris recipient, a board member of the Slinger Housing Authority, and is a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Slinger.
Rick has a proven record of being a true conservative and that is the path to a better future for families. He will support the initiatives of Duey Stroebel and Scott Walker to move our community forward making it the best it can be.
Rick is a kind, thoughtful, and humble man. I thank God he chose me for his wife.
Please vote for Rick Gundrum 58th Assembly on Tuesday, Dec. 19.
Lois Krueger-Gundrum

Every time I visit a newsstand in Seattle, it seems like I find five new-to-me publications I HAVE to read. Last night was no exception; while at the Bulldog News in the U District I picked up Radical Teacher, a triennial "socialist, feminist, and anti-racist" teaching journal put out by the nonprofit Cambridge, MA Center for Critical Education.
Strange as it may be that teachers are not naturally feminist and anti-racist, and despite their usual political alignment with the Democratic party, the profession tends to be pretty conservative. So Radical Teacher was a refreshing read. #71 is a book review issue, which includes reviews of a wide range of reading from histories of teacher strikes to analyses of the longstanding rift between literature and composition faculties in university English departments. The reviews were good reviews, too: smart but down to earth, clear but still complex, informative in and of themselves and still making me want to go out and read the books reviewed.
Often when I read a so-called "radical" journal I end up either feeling like I am not "radical" enough or irritated at how impractically "radical" the writers are, but the tone of the whole thing was a refreshing combination of radical and practical, just like good teaching should be. So I decided to subscribe, and wouldn't you know, they offer a discount for part-timers like myself. It's nice to see radical writers going beyond talk into action and being radical businesspeople as well. So I perused the clearance sale of back issues, ordered a few that looked promising, and made a pledge to myself to become a "sustaining" subscriber as soon as that full-time position comes through.

I owe Adam Zodrow a big debt of gratitude: Last week he told me about CDR Electronics in Oklahoma City. Thanks to that bit of Macintosh-related intel, I was able to purchase a 4th generation, 64 GB iPod today for $230. The same iPod sold new from Apple costs $400. I think I got a great deal!
If I'd had an extra $700, I would have also bought the 11″ MacBook Air they had for sale.
Lots of great deals on used Apple hardware, as well as other kinds of electronics. You can bet I'll be back! If you're in the market for any iPods, iPads, or iPhones and live in or anywhere near Oklahoma City, I highly recommend you check out CDR Electronics. It's just off I-240 and Penn, on the south access road. They have a great inventory, and both the prices as well as "feel" of the store are MUCH better than OKC-area pawn shops I've visited looking for other electronics deals.

I find myself drifting through world of nothing, corridors so dark with no path to follow or light to guide.
Am I destined to wander lost and alone, trapped inside my own mind unable to find the answers I seek? The more time I spend wandering the corridors of my mind in search of that ever elusive answer I find doors to open that only give me more questions.
After being bathed in such warn light from another why is it the shadow that is cast worries me so. It's always there and accept it I have, so why does it now start to cause stirring thoughts? Why can I not answer my own questions…
Is it the fear of once again losing that which has been given to me, or is it fear of falling once again into a place of such darkness and pain.
Letting go of the echoes of the past and brining silence to the cries of the damned was no easy challenge and now it would seem they inhabit the decadent halls of my mind brining them a slow degradation.
The lies of the past and the pain carried with them were embedded deeper than I realised, all it took was one simple sentence to be uttered for a cascade of bad memories to come flooding back screaming with now way to silence them, brining the forgotten pain along with them.
A sudden clarity of what I now have and what it would mean if I lost it all again…
Second chances are rare, so why do we feel we don't deserve them? All we need is embrace them, let them take their course and not compare them to the past. Tangled thoughts infest people's minds, we spend so much time allowing a single vine to grow in our minds and eventually our hearts, we wait for the worst because of past experience and in doing so maybe we encourage it's return… I must find the root and cut it fast before it's too late.
I have have come to the end of the halls and that one last remaining door, I hope my answer lays in wait behind it.
