England cricket legend Steve Harmison has been chosen as a royal representative in his home county.
Retired Durham fast bowler Steve, from Ashington, has been appointed a deputy lieutenant of Northumberland, a role which will see him support the Duchess of Northumberland in her post as lord lieutenant - the Queen's official representative for the county.
The 35-year-old, who holds the MBE, last night spoke of his "honour and privilege" at being appointed, on the duchess' recommendation, and said he looked forward to serving the area he loves.
Steve played professional cricket for Durham for seventeen years and represented England between 2002-2009 during which time he became the world's top-ranked test bowler.
He retired from cricket last year and now works for Sky and the BBC.
Steve is patron to The Bubble Foundation, The James Milner Foundation, and the Andrew Flintoff Foundation and has raised money for numerous local charities. He is also an ambassador for the Professional Cricketers Association and helps with the children's cricket coaching in his home town, at Ashington Cricket Club.
Steve, who lives at Woodhorn, said: "It is a real honour and privilege to be chosen for this position.
"I am delighted to be able to serve the county in this capacity and I look forward to assisting the Duchess of Northumberland in her official duties.
"I think anybody from round here knows how much I love the North East, I have always lived in Ashington and Northumberland and quite happily take the responsibilities and anything I can do to promote this region I will always do so.
"Trying to promote the North East is something I have always done throughout my professional career and now I am retired I can do that through a different angle."
The duchess said: "I am delighted Stephen has agreed to accept the appointment and we warmly welcome him to his new role as a new deputy lieutenant.
"Stephen's sporting and charitable work, combined with his strong North East roots, will contribute to the experience and diversity of the lieutenancy.
"I am sure he will serve the people of Northumberland well."
Deputy lieutenants receive their commission only when official confirmation is received that the Queen does not 'disapprove of the appointment'.
They must live within their county, or within seven miles of the boundary, and they usually retain the appointment until the retirement age of 75.

LANSING, MI-- Michigan lawmakers recognized Michigan Student Athlete Cardiac Awareness month in April by giving a warm greeting from the House floor to Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation representatives and supporters on Thursday, who are leading the effort to place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all Michigan schools.
April 2019 is officially Michigan Student Athlete Cardiac Awareness Month in accordance with House Resolution No. 53. As part of the awareness program of spotlighting the problem of sudden cardiac arrest of Michigan students Randy Gillary, founder of the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation was in Lansing on Thursday with his daughter Emily Kucinich, to meet with lawmakers to thank them for their support and outline additional efforts which can save countless lives.
"I express my thanks and appreciation to Representatives Angela Witwer, Padma Kuppa and Jon Hoadley for their support and willingness to further address the issue of sudden cardiac death of our Michigan students. I would also like to thank the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) for its outstanding leadership role in helping to make our Michigan Schools safer for all who attend and visit," said Gillary. "Michigan is a leader in the nation in taking action to prevent the loss of our sons and daughters from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and other cardiac emergencies in our schools. This is in large part the direct result of the fact that the MDHHS has been leading an effective public-private collaboration that has yielded dramatically positive results." According to Gillary, there is still much more to do.
Gillary, who founded the organization with his family after the tragic loss of their daughter, Kimberly, at age 15 to sudden cardiac arrest in 2000, has been a catalyst for public-private partnerships to advance the cause by raising awareness of the issue of SCA of our sons and daughters and by donating AEDs training to Michigan schools.
Also attending were several members of student Everson Guild's family. Everson died of a sudden cardiac arrest in weight room in the summer of 2017 during football practice. Everson's parents Laura and Chris Guild have worked to increase awareness of sudden cardiac arrest in our Michigan schools after the loss of their son.
We encourage Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, her administration and our legislators to join us in supporting the MDHHS to enable it to continue its outstanding public-private efforts," said Gillary. "We also request the support of Gov. Whitmer and our legislators in helping us to achieve the goal of ensuring that every school in Michigan earns the designation as a MI HEARTSafe School during Gov. Whitmer's tenure."
The public-private efforts of the MDHHS to-date include:
- Organizing a group which ultimately became known as the Michigan Alliance for the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death of the Young (MAP-SCDY). Today the MAP-SCDY is composed of approximately 30 organizations consisting of representatives from the MDHHS, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA), physicians, non-profit organizations, private sector businesses, EMTs, school nurses, school athletic directors, representatives of our Michigan hospitals and charitable foundations.
- All Michigan student athletes are now required to have a pre-participation screening by a medical professional using the new form as a condition to participation in any organized school sports programs. The new form requires medical professionals who perform the pre-participation screenings, to conduct an initial screening to try to identify cardiac related risk factors in prospective student athletes. This is an important initiative that will save lives.
- Establishing a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) to ensure that all Michigan K-12 schools have a plan to enable it to respond to a cardiac emergency on school property.
- Michigan has been the model for the nation. In fact, shortly after the Model CERP was posted on the MDHHS website, the American Heart Association (AHA) requested the MAP-SCDY to draft a National Model CERP. The AHA National Model CERP prepared by the sub-committee is currently posted on the AHA website for use by any school in the United States – a national solution born from the fruits of public-private efforts in Michigan.
- In 2013 the MAP-SCDY developed the MI HEARTSafe School Program which allows any Michigan K-12 school to qualify and to be designated as a MI HEARTSafe School. Please refer to https://migrc.org/Library/heartsafeprogram.html. Currently there are 442 of Michigan schools who are designated as MI HEARTSafe schools.

Many writers have been smitten with their tools — John Steinbeck and his Blackwing pencils, Ernest Hemingway and his pocket notebooks, Sylvia Plath and her Royal typewriter. I often wonder whether they, too, struggled to harness their ideas and emotions from mind to ink — and from ink to reality — that they took solace in the reliability of a perfectly smooth ink pen.
But it's not just the consistency of the tool's performance. It's also about the wearing down of a pen until the nub releases ink at exactly the expected rate; it's about the letters on our keyboards fading on the most commonly stricken keys; it's about the softening of a notebook as it's used.
The Japanese have this philosophy called "wabi-sabi" which seeks to find beauty in the waning and waxing of objects. The elegance of wabi-sabi is that it relishes in the essence of life; it finds goodness in the ephemeral nature of our existence, and asks us to find goodness in the ephemeral nature of things. It allows wristwatches to be infected with patina and earn the name 'vintage'; it allows people to stumble through tragedy and earn the name 'wise.'
It's not the extraordinary things that give us this comfort, but rather the ordinary things that become an extension of ourselves.
In "The West Wing," there is an episode where President Jed Bartlet wonders why his favorite pen — the perfect pen — isn't in his suit pocket like it always is. He is later told that his recently deceased life-long secretary, Mrs. Landingham, used to put it in his breast pocket each day. This man, with so much power and responsibility, goes to Mrs. Landingham's abandoned desk and opens the drawer to find a box of perfectly packed pens. He picks one up and revels in the even weight of the pen on his pointer finger.
Our favored tools, from pens to laptops, serve almost the same purpose as the aroma of our childhood homes. There's a musk or a divot or a scratch that makes it imperfect or uneven in just the way we know it. These blemishes make them artifacts of our lives. Much like a baseball glove, these
replica breitling watches
tools are broken in by one person and, as time progresses, it further serves that single person.
These tools all serve an assigned purpose — for example, a pen is created to write — but any pen can write, however, not any pen can fit into the crevices of my fingers and remind me of the muddled ideas that have dripped off its point.
Of course these are just things, and I could be called a materialist — and, even worse, a materialist that intellectualizes and romanticizes this terrible title. But in the movie "Julie and Julia" the main character comes home from a terribly stressful and wearing day and says:
"I love that after a day when nothing is sure — and when I say 'nothing' I mean nothing — you can come home and absolutely know that if you add egg yolks to chocolate and sugar and milk, it will get thick."
A pen — my pen — lets me carry that feeling throughout the day, as only a fallible human like me can do.

*The Following Kentucky and Carter County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Consideration Certificate
Transfer tax is collected on the actual consideration stated and paid or to be paid in the deed. If the deed is a gift or indicates nominal consideration only, tax must be paid on the estimated price of the property and this form is required. It confirms any consideration stated in the deed and adds the estimated fair cash value the property would bring in an open market. A brief list of exemptions can be downloaded here. For a more detailed list and further information, download the relevant statutes posted under Transfer Tax Information.
Transfer Tax Information
These excerpts from Kentucky statutes list the exemptions from transfer tax in detail. If the document is exempt from transfer tax, it must be stated on the document.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Homestead Exemption
If you are 65 years old or disabled you may qualify for a homestead exemption on your property taxes.
Mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 376 of Kentucky Revised Statutes (K.R.S.). Although Kentucky law doesn't provide a required format for a waiver, claimants can use various types of lien waivers in order to simplify payments between contractors, subcontractors, customers, and property owners. A waiver is a knowing relinquishment of a right. In this case, the person granting the waiver is relinquishing the right to seek a mechanic's lien for all or part of the amount due. This assurance is usually enough to get the other party to pay.
Lien waivers are generally either based on a partial/progress payment or a final payment, and may be conditional or unconditional. Partial waivers release a portion of the lien rights, determined by the amount paid. Final waivers release all lien rights because the balance is paid in full. Conditional waivers give more protection to the claimant, and are dependent on any payments clearing the bank. Unconditional waivers give the advantage to the party responsible for paying, and take effect immediately upon recording, regardless of whether or not the bank covers the check.
Regardless of their nature, waivers must identify the parties, a description of the location and type of goods and/or services provided, significant dates, fees, and payments. Record the completed waiver in the office responsible for maintaining the land records for the county where the subject property is located.
Use the final waiver when the customer makes the final payment, meaning nothing is left due and owing after this payment. This waiver is conditioned upon the payment actually clearing and the waiver will not be effective until this happens.
This article is provided for information purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the advice from a legal professional. Please speak with an attorney with questions about using a lien waiver, or for any other issues related to liens in Kentucky.

IMVU friends…
I was going to write a poem for all of my friends within the virtual world of IMVU, but when I sat down trying to think of what to write about I realized that no paper could all of the happiness I receive from my best friends. Knowing that no matter what happens I still have my dear friends there to help me out in the in the good times and the bad always makes me smile. I don't know what I would do if I woke up one day and knew that I didn't have the friends I have now. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with the many friends I have. I love them all so very much and thank you all for being there for me when I need you all the most. In good or bad times, friends like this are very special to me and will always remain my friends…xxx
I have still just written a poem to say…I love you all!!
Whenever the day we've met,
I never thought we'd be as close as we are,
I didn't know we'd be best friends,
because in distance we are so far.
But now I know
that I couldn't live without you,
you all I lean and depend on,
whenever I am feeling blue.
You won't judge me,
for the things I do wrong,
You help me through,
and help me to stay strong.
You all help me through trouble,
never leaving my side,
even when we disagree,
you won't run down my pride.
Sometimes I can be foolish,
and tend to turn things bad,
but I know I can count on you,
whenever I start to feel sad.
You all always seem to know
whenever I am feeling down,
but then you pick me up
and turn my thoughts around.
I worry about you,
a lot more than you know,
for I couldn't stand to lose you,
your all the best persons I know.
I hope we never fall apart,
or slowly drift away,
you all are the best friends I have,
and I hope together we always stay…xxx
This is for my best friends. I am so thankful for you guys. I Love you all!

El último traje
At 88, Abraham Bursztein is seeing his place in the world rapidly disappear. His kids have sold his Buenos Aires residence, set him up in a retirement home and are even trying to convince him to amputate his disabled limb. But Abraham survived the Holocaust, made a successful life in a foreign land, and isn't about to quietly fade away. Instead, he's planned a trip to the other side of the world. Writer-director Pablo Solarz renders Abraham's odyssey as much a journey through the past as a geographical one. With its klezmer-driven score, evocative cinematography and fleet pacing, The Last Suit approaches its weighty themes with a light reverence, showing how any trip truly worth taking is a trip that will change us-no matter how far along we are in life's journey.

Apparently Benjamin Franklin said that there were two certainties in life – death and taxes. However, Benjamin Franklin was writing that in 1789 and wasn't doing affiliate marketing some 220 years later. If Ben was around today and pursuing a career in creating websites to get to the top of Google so that people will visit then leave to go and buy something somewhere else so as to earn him a few pence, he'd be adding quite a number of additions to his very meagre list of certainties.
1. No Matter What Size Banner You Need The Merchant Won't Have It!
This is a given for all merchants. If you have a space that's 120×60 and you wish to feature Merchant X, Merchant X will not have that size banner or button. Go back in a few month's time looking for a 300×250 and they won't have that either, but will have a 120×60.
2. If They Do Have Buttons They'll Have The Wrong Message
If by some miracle (and indeed it should be labeled as such) your merchant does happen to have the right size button, then it's a guarantee that the button you want for say your Christmas site will only say "Happy Father's Day". Come Father's Day it will say "Christmas Sale". It's also a certainty it'll be deleted within a week of you using it as part of a "banner amnesty" meaning you back to square 1!
3. The Merchant Who Earns You The Least Causes The Most Problems
It is statistically made up that the amount of commission you earn from a merchant is inversely proportional to the amount of grief and hassle they will inflict upon you. "That button shouldn't be resized" (see 1), "that button is out of date" (see 2), could you spell our name with a small 'l' not a capital one even though it breaks with conventional grammar, there's a comma in the wrong place, could you update the content you wrote 10 years ago as it's out of date etc.
4. The Merchant Who's About To Get Canned Starts To Earn
As affiliates we like to give merchants a chance, but eventually there reaches a point where you have to cut and run (see 1, 2, 3). It is an absolute certainty that the day you go to delete links to a merchant that they'll generate a commission for you. You therefore decide it's best to give them another chance.
5. Your Website Will Crash One Minute Before You're About To Leave The House
Websites, like cats and dogs, become aware when you're about to leave them! This means that it's a nailed on certainty that just before you're about to leave the house, go to sleep, go on holiday etc. it will crash.
With the mobile internet site's have also gotten more canny at when to crash. For example if you're at an airport and checking your site, it will wait until the minute you're on the plane to shut down… leaving you sweating for 12 hours on a cross atlantic flight wondering if all's ok.
6. No Matter How Hard You Try To Be More Efficient You End Up Working More
This is one of the most perplexing mysteries of life in affiliate marketing. No matter how much time and effort you spend in streamlining what you're doing, you always end up having more to do. Any attempts to do less work will result in catastrophe (see 5).
So, if Benjamin Franklin was an affiliate he'd have at least 6 more items on his certainties list… and there's probably a heck of a lot more to add too!

The latest report on the unemployment rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics was released yesterday. If you're into the "less bad" thing, then this report has some good news for you. Only 216,000 jobs were lost in August. The bad news all around, though, is that the official unemployment rate rose to 9.7 percent – the highest rate in 26 years.
Calculated Risk puts it in perspective saying, "The economy has lost almost 5.83 million jobs over the last year, and 6.93 million jobs during the 20 consecutive months of job losses."
But worse than that, the Associated Press reported last week that more than 1.3 million people will exhaust their unemployment benefits by the end of the year. The same report puts the number of unemployed at 14.5 million.
And all of the above is based on the official BLS numbers which we all know are only a fraction of the true unemployment numbers. In the real world, where most of us live, the actual rate of unemployment is now around 21 percent.

Not surprisingly, then, government tax collection isn't going so well.

None of it bodes well for the immediate future.

After resuming the journey and a bit of small talk, the Navajo woman noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally. "What's in the bag?" asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. Got it for my husband."
The Navajo woman was silent for a moment, and then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder said, "Good trade."
And a day was born...
God: "Whew! I just created a 24-hour period of alternating light and darkness of Earth."
Angel: "What are you going to do now?"
God: "Call it a day."

When I Was Your Age ...The minister was passing a group of young teens sitting on the church lawn and stopped to ask what they were doing.
"Nothing much, Pastor," replied one boy. "We were just seeing who can tell the biggest lie about their sex life." "Boys, boys, boys!" he scolded. "I'm shocked. When I was your age, I never even thought about sex."
In unison they all replied, "You win!"
Producing A New Gum
Two men were in the process of inventing a new brand of gum. They were arguing over the fact that their new gum was too hard and brittle and didn't have the right consistency. One of the inventors kept arguing that they simply had to add more liquid to their primary secret ingredient, code named "Yewin".
The other man argued adamantly. "No, No, No! It's not wetter Yewin that counts... it's how you ply the gum!"
If Noah Built an Ark in 2011
And lo, in the year 2011, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said:
"Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me."
"Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans."
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6 months to build the ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard, but there was no ark.
"Noah! I'm about to start the rain! Where is the ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed."
"I needed a building permit."
"I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system."
"My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision."
"Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it."
"Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl."
"I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls, but no go!"
"When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space."
"Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood."
"I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew."
"Immigration and Naturalization are checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work."
"The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with ark-building experience.
"To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species."
"So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."
Suddenly, the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

The Trouser Snake=> NAME: *Expecteria Trouserius* (Trouser Snake) => LOCATION: Throughout the world
=> DESCRIPTION: One-eyed, with mushroom-shaped head (other types come with extra layers of skin) Varying from pink to black. Fang-less with a highly venomous spit. (Spit can reach distances up to 2-3 feet) *Size varies from 3 to 12 inches, depending on its mood & sub-species.
=> SYMPTOMS: This snake attacks mainly women in the lower front abdomen, resulting in an inconspicuous bump. Then a severe swelling followed by excruciating pain after nine months. The attack is not usually fatal. Beware: It has been known to attack men in the rear lower abdomen!
=> HABITAT: Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.
=> ANTIDOTE: Various types of vaccine available for women. However, once the venom is injected into the body only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is no known antidote for men.
TOURNIQUET: Do not apply a tourniquet as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected.
CUTTING THE WOUND: This would be completely unnecessary and ineffective as the bleeding will stop after a few weeks anyhow.
SUCKING THE WOUND: This method is the most popular with the victim, but so far has not been reported to have led to any success.
=> CONCLUSION: This snake, although it is very aggressive and active, is not necessarily a vermin, and treated with the right respect, makes a wonderful pet.

Beautiful Wedding
Gabriela was amazingly work with. She asked all the right questions before the wedding and was well prepared. She guided us when it was needed and allowed us to be ourselves as well. She captured our wedding day beautifully from the first look to the first dance and everything in between. I have so many amazing pictures and have had so many compliments from friends and family on the photos. Highly recommended.Sent on 16/08/2019

Best Experience
The whole experience with Gabriela Cruz Photography has been an amazing one. Every interaction from the initial meet, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day has been such an easy experience. Me and my husband are very introverted and never once had experiences with photo shoots, so going into it, we were completely clueless. Yahozka always made us feel comfortable and reassured during the process. Her angles and style of editing are so beautiful! And for a fraction of the price of other photographers at her skill level... you can't go wrong if you choose her! We are very happy with how both our engagement photos and our wedding photos turned out and can't wait to display them in our future first home together.Sent on 01/08/2019

A is for aesthetic, adorable, awesome and Ancymon, the amazing creator of these crafty wooden stools. We love design that is both beautiful and practical, and that is exactly what you get with this clever little design.
It is a stool, a small table, a place to store your magazines, a small shelf and a ladder. Oh, and we nearly forgot, it's also just a stunning piece of furniture for the home.
Each 'A' is made by hand using birch plywood in either a natural wood colour or something a little more bright.

We had to think carefully about the new construction, design and the materials we were going to use.
We have already completed the diy home plans which are always subject to change.
So we start with a four bedroom detached timber frame house which will require a piled home foundation - because of the watery soil conditions - wall and roof framing.
We will have to position the fireplace so that chimney clears the roof timbers.
Timber wall framing is a great way to start learning how to build a wall. You can do this yourself and not have to hang around for builders who may get delayed.
When you've completed the walls and put on the new roof you are home and dry. You are then able to work undercover.
And what about the external walls that people will see? Our local council takes a very keen interest in the appearance of a new house. Especially when the surrounding houses are all very similar.
We did have a say in what type of brick.
To use the standard London Red bricks would have been very expensive.
So we used a timber wall using a different brick wall finish.
Near To Finishing. Hapton, Norwich.
As you may know, there are many companies who will make your frames and carry out the wall framing for you. But basic carpentry framing from scratch is an exciting prospect for many new build enthusiasts.
First wall raised on the windward side. Hapton, Norwich.
Is wall framing as simple as it looks? Yes, I think it is because the carpentry skills you need are really basic. And there are many opportunities to improve your skills and stay in control.
I'll show you just three procedures that will show you how to build a new construction successfully.
Chose The Right Timber.
Avoid scratches and splinters by using a good grade timber that is safe to handle. 6" by 2" C.L.S. timber is a good choice because:
Avoid Lifting Heavy Frames.
If you want to learn wall framing this is important.
The method I want to show you avoids the risks of heavy lifting. Each frame is constructed on the decking next to its final position.
Cut and nail the basic timber frame to size according to your approved plans. The face facing upwards will be the outside wall.
Nail external sheathing onto the frame and staple Klober [protective membrane] onto the sheathing.
When you are ready, raise the frame into position with the help of a friend or colleague. Nick - my young apprentice - was really helpful. Prop up the frame vertically; nail it to the anchor plate and into the neighbouring frame. Now construct the next frame. Raise it in the same way, prop up and nail.
Repeat this procedure until the ground floor is complete. . .
Frames Are Put Together On The Floor First Ready For Raising.
Hapton, Norwich.
Make sure the first frame is placed on the windward side.
Otherwise the force of the wind can whip the frame away from you. You could have guessed this tip - but many people don't to their cost. You can probably imagine the consequences especially if you are working on the top floor. It's messy, dangerous, and could waste a lot of time.
The west wall with the left hand window opening was the first wall erected on the upper floor. This wall gets the worst of the wind. The wall to the left was added next because it helped to steady the first wall. I then continued on the right of the west window.
Prop up the frames at 90 degrees vertical. Position the frames carefully before raising into position. Nailing a piece of ply to the edge of the floor plate will stop the frame sliding away from you.
With th new construction - for added security - the ground floor windows openings were not cut out until the window frames were on site and ready to install. The membrane on the ground floor was fixed later after the window openings were cut out.

If you climb up a few cinderblock steps to the small window, you can look through the bars at a scene meant to invoke a Guantánamo Bay interrogation. A lifesize figure in a dark sweatshirt, the hood drawn low over his face, leans over another figure in an orange jumpsuit, his face covered by a towel and his body strapped down on a tilted surface.
Feed a dollar into a slot, the lights go on, and Black Hood pours water up Orange Jumpsuit's nose and mouth while Orange Jumpsuit convulses against his restraints for 15 seconds. O.K., kids, who wants more cotton candy!
In interrupting a day at the beach with scenes of the United States government's rougher practices, Mr. Powers is being deliberately provocative. "What's more obscene," he asks, "the official position that waterboarding is not torture, or our official position that it's a thrill ride?
Link (Image: Michael Nagle for The New York Times)
I don't know quite how to feel about the whole thing. It smells like a stunt. I think Americans need to understand just how torturous waterboarding is and why its inhumane, unethical, and a serious crime. At the same time, using animatronics and putting this in Coney Island somehow reduces the issues to a pity spectacle quickly lost amongst the sideshow and amusement park rides. Perhaps, its fitting to find a torture show right along side hot dogs and cotton candy. It's all so American and also sad.

Brackets 1.14.2 is here! This release is targeted for Mac and Windows users only.
Musikolo commented on 2019-05-05 05:06
@petronny, I don't code in PHP, so I don't need it. Best approach could be to add it as an optional dependency (
optdepends section) for PHP support. However, I cannot imagine anybody coding in PHP language without the
php package installed.
petronny commented on 2019-05-05 04:48
@Musikolo Is the PHP support still working after force removing?
Musikolo commented on 2019-05-05 00:57
@petronny, I think
composer and
php packages should only be required for building brackets. So, they should be moved to the
makedepends section. I forced removing those, and
brackets works the same for me.

I've upgraded this to 1.14 with the way I built 1.13. The vanilla 1.14 still raises a segment fault when launched.
You may need to run
echo '[position]' > ~/.config/Brackets/window.ini
after upgraded.
This version may not have php support as the vanilla 1.14 .
petronny commented on 2019-04-19 20:17
I finally get this working. Here is what I've done:
- Switching the icu built by Adobe to the system icu. No need to install gcc5 now.
- Using brackets-shell v1.12 since it's working.
- Applying #648 (This maybe optional.)
- Copying
/opt/brackets/Bracketsfrom the deb binary.
I don't want to do more with v1.13 since v1.14 is almost out. May we get good luck with v1.14.
The prebuilt version has been uploaded to arch4edu.

Tolls, reservations for SF's Lombard Street approved by California lawmakers
SACRAMENTO — San Francisco could require drivers who want to navigate the world-famous crooked portion of Lombard Street to book their slot ahead of time and pay a toll, if Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a bill the Legislature sent to him Thursday.
AB1605 would allow San Francisco to test a fee and reservation system for the block of Lombard between Leavenworth and Hyde streets. The Assembly gave it final approval by a vote of 54-23.
"It has become increasingly difficult to manage the crowds and traffic congestion on Lombard Street," Assemblyman Phil Ting, the San Francisco Democrat who carried the bill, said in a statement. "AB1605 offers a fix worth trying to improve public safety and quality of life for residents."
More than 2 million people drive on the crooked stretch of Lombard Street each year, backing up traffic for blocks as they wait as long as 45 minutes for their turn to traverse the switchbacks.
Residents have complained about the gridlock, noise and litter from tourists, prompting San Francisco officials to raise the idea of a toll to control the congestion. But local governments cannot charge people to use a public road without state approval, necessitating the bill.
A plan put forward by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority — which consists of the 11 members of the Board of Supervisors — would require drivers to reserve a half-hour window between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. and allow up to 160 cars per hour on the crooked stretch of Lombard. The cost would be $5 on weekdays and $10 on weekends and holidays, with the revenue paying for staffers on site to check reservations.
If Newsom signs AB1605, the Board of Supervisors would still need to finalize details of the toll proposal, including the pricing structure and which city department would oversee the program. Eric Young, a spokesman for the transportation authority, said a toll and reservation system would not be in place until spring 2020 at the soonest.
Newsom, a former mayor of San Francisco, did not respond to a request for comment about the bill.

Following on from my previous two blogs regarding life balance, I would like to write about a typical work day for me! This will show how I fit everything in.
My Wednesday schedule
5 AM: My boyfriend's alarm goes off, he works an hour away so he is up bright and early every morning!
5 30 AM: I rise, perform a quick exercise routine and jump onto my bike which is already on the Wahoo Kickr ready for a work out on Zwift or head out onto the road.
7 30 AM: I jump off the bike and into the shower, quickly eat my breakfast and change into my commuting kit
8 10 AM: I head off down onto the gorgeous Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail for my eight kilometre commute to my work
8 30 AM: I change into my work clothes, have friendly chats with our receptionist then prepare plans for all of my patients and classes that day. This means that I can quickly glance at my plans and be reminded what I want to work on with that patient for their session. It also means I remember to look up anything I need to or write any documents that are due.
9 AM until 10 AM: I head down to the local pool to supervise and instruct my hydrotherapy patients, who all have their own programs to work through.
10 AM until 1 PM: I work through my patient list and if I'm doing well I'll have a few short breaks to take a minute to myself.
1-2 PM: I eat my lunch, complete my own exercises and on Wednesdays I have been trying to fit in a 3 kilometre run!
2-6 PM: I work through my afternoon clients before donning my riding gear to commute back home!
Different days
On Mondays I work from 9-5 PM, Tuesdays 11-8 PM, Wednesdays 9-6 PM, Thursdays 2-7 PM, Fridays 9-5 PM. This keeps every day a little bit different and I really like it! I lead three pilates classes and one hydrotherapy class per week and the rest is patient clinical time.
Home time
When I get home my boyfriend has most often already cooked dinner for us! We use the left overs for the following day's lunch which avoids us requiring to make two separate meals.
I eat up, shower and do the dishes. We hang up the washing together. I complete any exercises for that day that I still haven't done and respond to any emails.
Making time for family
Finding that balance where I stay in touch with my family who all live interstate to me can be difficult. Thankfully technology makes it much easier!
I regularly FaceTime either of my parents or my Nanna. I regularly send messages either via text or Facebook messenger to my brothers or friends.
We also regularly call my partner's parents and try to contact his brothers regularly too.
I also use this time in the evening to prepare my riding and work gear for the next day so that I'm as ready to go in the morning as possible!
Finally, after I do a little bit of all of the above, I can fully relax and unwind just before bed time.
Sleeping time
Getting enough sleep is critical so we are often asleep by 9 30.

Believe in yourselves, Sinulog Idol Season 9 champ tells this year's finalists
Cebu City, Philippines – Sinulog Idol Season 9 grand champion Arnold Badana is a busy man nowadays.
The 19-year-old singing champion from Inayawan, Cebu City continues to use his talent as a tool to help others.
And as Season 10 of the singing contest begins on Friday, January 11, at the Plaza Independencia, Badana is giving this year's finalists a boost by sharing with them a simple but important piece of advice: "Believe in yourselves."
"Bring your heart lang gyud sa contest. Dili mag pa affect sa mga negative comments sa mga judges ug sa audience. Ug ang pinaka importante, dasig ug ampo lang jud kanunay sa atong Ginoo," he told Cebu Daily News Digital.
Last week, Sinulog Idol's Facebook page announced that Jake Batiancela, James Alfafara, Jessa Abaquita, Jonas Elarcosa, Yad Jayme, Maica Papas, Shim Dagatan, Vanessa Parame, Mikee Allaga, Kyla Dizon, Rache May Parco, and Zane Dugaduga are officially part of Top 12.
"Just go with the flow. Dawat lang kung unsa may result sa kada adlaw nga contest. Sing with your heart. Pray to God nga I guide ka niya sa imong journey sa Sinulog Idol," he added.
The Sinulog Idol is a week-long singing competition under Sinulog Foundation Inc. and produced by Soundtraxx Production Studio.
Every night there will be an elimination round. Only six finalists will move to the grand finals on January 17.
Resident judges and mentors are Jay Unchuan, Apple Abarquez, and Ryan Mark Borinaga.
Prizes are P50,000 (first place), P30,000 (second place), and P20,000 (third place).
A year after ruling Season 9, Badana said he is planning to work in Vietnam with his two siblings.
"Mo trabaho usa ko didto as a band vocalist kauban sa akong duha ka maguwang aron makatabang ug makabawi pud sa mga kahago sa among ginikanan," he said.
His first project is to build a house. He also wants to help his parents support his siblings' education.
"Lastly, ganahan ko nga daghan ko nga tawo matabangan pa karong tuiga sa bisag ginagmay lang nga hinabang kay mao jud na ang usa sa mga plano nako sa kinabuhi, ang makatabang sa nanginahanglan," he said. /bjo

You'll always know it's the end of spring semester here at Liberty University when droves of students appear on the academic lawn. After all, it's finally Reading Day, and it's also the LU Community Yard Sale! Hosted by Student Activities, the Community Yard Sale offers a chance for LU students and community vendors to sell clothes, furniture, dorm décor, and more.
In the morning I met up with my friend Cameron to check out the steals and the deals at the yard sale. We wandered through over thirty booths, picking up unique finds, cute clothes, and good books. After paying each vendor, we stuffed our purchases into our free Student Activities tote bags (pro tip: those bags are super handy to keep in the dorm!). We also followed Student Activities on social media and received free tumblers!
Local food trucks such as Nomad Coffee and Dawn & Dusk Donuts also visited, so I bought my all-time favorite iced latte, the Blue Ridge (espresso with white chocolate, coconut, and mint!). No better way to spend Reading Day than drinking coffee and thrifting with friends, am I right?
To cap off my Reading Day activities, I invited the gals from my small group to come over to my apartment. We ate dinner together, made homemade frozen coffee, and piled on my sofa. After lots of giggling, we took time to intentionally speak encouragement over one another to end this semester.
Life at Liberty is special because the people here are so special. Every year I meet new guys and gals that are just absolutely incredible, and this semester was no different. There are simply so many life-changing people here on this campus, and I can't imagine living life without the friends I've made while attending Liberty.
You'll just have to come experience it for yourself!
Hope to see you around campus soon,

In Taking God Seriously (see my review here) noted theologian J.I. Packer has a chapter titled "Taking the Lord's Supper Seriously." After saying things like "we are really more interested in the sermon than in the sacrament" and "We feel the sermon is more important, we expect more from it…," Packer then asks, "Why do Protestants thus dumb down the Supper? Why do we take for granted, as we seem to do, that it is of secondary and minor importance?"
What Packer is lamenting here is something I've become all too familiar with over the years, including recently. With this in mind, I wish to suggest 5 ways we may improve our observance of the Lord's Supper.
1. We Need to Understand the Lord's Supper as a Covenant Meal, that is, the covenant meal of the New Covenant. We find this explicitly stated in the Synoptic Gospels (Matt. 26:28; Mark 14:24 and Luke 22:20) and Paul's reiteration of the words of institution (1 Cor. 11:25). We may then explore it as a covenant meal in the larger context of Scripture (see my post here). In the Supper, we remember the Lord's covenant pledge to us.
2. We Need to Understand the Lord's Supper as Both Sacrament and Ordinance. I know some tend to avoid the term "sacrament." But this is more reactionary than anything, which is unfortunate. However a proper understanding of the term "sacrament" will only prove helpful as we rethink and seek to improve our observance. Sacrament is from the Latin sacramentum, meaning a soldier's sacred oath of allegiance. And when we say "ordinance," it simply means that it was ordained by the Lord. With the help of Louis Berkhof, when correctly understood "A sacrament is a holy ordinance instituted by Christ, in which by sensible signs the grace of God in Christ, and the benefits of the covenant of grace, are represented, sealed, and applied to believers, and these, in turn, give expression to their faith and allegiance to God" (Systematic Theology).
3. We Need to Understand the Lord's Supper as Holy Communion. "Communion" is the King James Version of the Bible translation of the Greek koinonia in 1 Corinthians 10:16, but which is rendered "participation" modern Bible translation like the NIV and ESV. So when we come to the Lord's Table, bless the cup and the bread, thus making them "holy," we are, as Paul says, communing "in the blood of Christ" and "in the body of Christ."
There is no need to minimize the weight of Paul's words as is often the case. When by faith we eat the bread and drink the cup, we are communing "in the blood of Christ" and "in the body of Christ." This we do by faith.
4. We Need to Understand the Lord's Supper as a Bond of Love. As believers, when we come to the Lord's Table, we must come as one, not individually, but as one: "Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread" (10:17). It was precisely because the Corinthians believers had forgotten this aspect of coming to the Lord's Table, why there were divisions among them, thus making the Lord's Supper a thing of contempt. Paul had to correct their practice. He could not commend them (1 Corinthians 11:17-22).
Perhaps we can strive to be creative in our observance of the Lord's Supper to capture visibly this oneness, this unity, of which Paul speaks. This may be done by each participant taking the elements together.
5. We need to Understand the Lord's Supper as a Time of Self-Examination. We examine ourselves not to see how worthy we are. Rather, we examine ourselves to see whether or not we are observing the bread and the cup in a worthy manner, lest we eat and drink judgment on ourselves for a failure to discern properly the Lord's body (see my reflections on what I believe this self-examination entails here). In other words, the Lord's Supper is a time not to think about what we do for the Lord but what we receive from the Lord, by faith.
Conclusion. As the body of Christ, we cannot not take the Lord's Supper seriously, to echo J.I. Packer. We must continue to rethink our observance of the Supper–the New Covenant Meal, which the Lord has instituted and ordained for us to celebrate as a memorial of himself and a proclamation of his death until he comes.

It's a pretty simple equation – using up more calories than you eat equals weight loss. One could almost say it's an old fashioned approach to weight loss. Certainly it seems that way given the proliferation of fad diets that are now floating around. For many dieticians though it's still the best approach and realistically, it's also one that makes a whole lot of sense.
Most diets one sees these days restrict dieters to between 1000 and 1500 calories a day. However, this approach doesn't take into account individual requirements. Someone who is doing a lot of exercise for example may need more than that to sustain normal body function. Likewise, a larger framed person will require more calories for maintenance than a smaller framed person. Then there is metabolism – some people have fast metabolisms, others have slow metabolisms. That's why a 'one size fits all' approach to dieting rarely works.
During the initial stages of weight loss, you'll typically lose more water than fat, which accounts for the encouraging results most people experience. This then tapers off into a more steady weight loss, usually around about a pound a week. It's a healthy and sustainable approach, and one generally preferred by medical professionals and dieticians.
Curbing your calorie count doesn't mean fasting either. In fact, one of the reasons this concept of dieting has stood the test of time is not just because it does result in healthy weight loss but because it's also attractive to dieters. Ultimately, so long as you remain within your required calorie intake, the calories can come from anywhere. This gives you room to indulge your sweet tooth or your fondness for junk food within reason so long as it doesn't take you over your calorie limit. However, be aware that when you do indulge in something that's loaded with calories, you must cut back elsewhere. So if that piece of chocolate cake you just couldn't resist uses up most of your calorie quota for the day it may mean you don't eat for the rest of the day.
Control Appetite With Weight Loss Supplements
So we recommend you don't do that, or at least not very often! Learn to eat a balanced nutritious diet with enough calories to keep you functioning but not enough to load on the weight. If you have trouble curbing your appetite, a natural weight loss supplement that helps with this may keep you on the straight and narrow.
Within your allotted calorie intake it's important to include necessary nutrients. You must include enough protein and this can come from lean meats, eggs, legumes, and nuts. You should also aim to include healthy fats because, apart from anything else, fat-soluble vitamins rely on them for metabolism. Carbohydrates are also important because these are broken down into glucose, which your cells need for energy. However, so long as you keep the total calorie intake within your allocated amount, you will still lose weight.
Also remember to drink plenty of water – it helps flush toxins and can help keep you feeling fuller. And don't skip meals! Doing so only winds up making you hungry so you binge, which causes blood sugar spikes.

This week North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo suffered a huge legal blow after battling his one year-long gun charge he was facing in his home state of North Carolina. Last year Petey Pablo (former Timberland protege ) was allegedly caught smuggling a stolen 9mm pistol at Raleigh-Durham International Airport when he was catching a flight to Los Angeles. It was reported that Pablo was going to be facing a 10 year prison sentence if found guilty.
On Tuesday morning the rappers fate was announced inside the US District Court in the city of New Bern after a guilty plea from Pablo. The artist has been sentenced to serve 35 month in a North Carolina prison. Peaty Pablo was arrested when the gun was detected by the X-ray machine while he was going through the security check point.
Petey Pablo had this to say in an interview with Hip Hop DX about his legal woes œI mean, I always feel confident. In the end, the truth always comes to the light. And, regardless of what the outcome is, I'm a man. And whatever has been written in my book of life is written in my book of life. So whatever the outcome of any situation is, I have no choice but to handle it.
The south rapper had begin working with hot new rapper J. Cole. Hopefully when he gets out he will continue to work with the artist, and maybe have a comeback career. What are your thoughts on Petey sentence?

It is sweet to let the mind unbend on occasion.
Specially blended for unwinding...
I have a couple of quilts I purchased years ago and I like to use them on the front porch. Things tend to get a little dusty out there from the traffic on the street and it's very simple and easy to put them in the wash every week or so and freshen them up. I put one on the porch swing and one on the glider.
Blankets wrap you in warmth, quilts wrap you in love
I'm not a quilter myself, but I do love them. There is nothing that says comfort than a quilt. So my quilts on the porch really do double duty. Sitting on my porch is a big part of my life during the summertime. The pieces of my quilts remind me to unwind, and relax
We can get all caught up in how we should spend our time and forget to do the things that are enjoyable and relaxing to us. Sometimes just sitting on a porch after a rainstorm, with the clean smell of damp earth and the occasional drip of water from a tree branch, can bring us to that place of quiet and contemplation.
Last week we had some very hot days for us here in northern Ohio, but today we are much cooler. If the sun makes it out, I'll probably spend my time on the back patio where it is warmer and sunnier. It's a blessing to have a choice.
Our lives are like quilts - bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love.

(35:17) Why should someone become a member of, not only a section, but of the Sports Section [of the APTA]?
"You have to look at that patient that's standing in front of you as an individual. There are no cookie-cutters, there is no easy way, and it's hard as a new grad, it's hard as a new student to problem solve. Your tendency is to move towards, "I've seen this before and this is what I want to do." What you want to be able to do is to make sure that you see the problem before it sees you. Not realizing something that's going on can really put you back, at the very least a few weeks, maybe a few months with the treatment of that patient. Ask all those questions and don't rush through your evals. Make sure you get all the information because each patient is going to present differently."


text: LIMNI. Limni is one of the nicest and most traditional villages of Evia. It is located 88 km. northwest of Halkida and it is built against the hills (the Kandili Hills). Even at first glance you will be impressed; the narrow alleys, the nice harbor, the promenade with beautiful terraces, the various vis taverns and ouzeries at the waterfront. The wonderful views to the Gulf of Evia are breathtaking! This town is very crowded in the summer, especially by Greek tourists from the mainland. Limni is an ancient city with a rich history, it is actually the old Elymnion. From 1 to August 15, every year the "Elimnia parties" are organized, with folk festivals, exhibitions, performances and concerts. On 7 and 8 September, every year a large festival in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary takes place; with a procession in the village and the icon of the Holy Mother is carried around. At the end of the procession, the icon will be auctioned and the one that offers the most money may return the icon personally to the church. The applied money is for the party with music and dance at night.

All of us at Vendome are food and beverage enthusiasts. This is where we share our opinions, insights and post details about upcoming events. You can contact any of us personally for individualized assistance!
You will never hear me muttering to myself that I know every single fact about wine. If I ever decide that I've learned all that I can, I promise to immediately stop drinking on the spot. It will just never happen because every day I learn something new, fun and different. Maybe it's a cool little tidbit about an appellation or some up-and-coming Winemaker or a newly discovered grape that originated in Slovakia or Sardinia or wherever. There is always something new to learn in the wine biz; so many tales to tell. And that is what is fun; I love digging into the bottomless pit of wine info that is out there and coming up with some new gems.
Obscure wine varietals and regions thrill me. Don't get me wrong…I love Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I do. I've been known to wax poetic over a just-right Chablis or Maconnais and will happily quaff down Pinot Noir from just about anywhere. With food, without food. Doesn't matter. I love them. But every so often I become smitten with some esoteric wine and I make it my mission to learn everything I possibly can about it. It would be fun to drink these wines with other like minded people.
That's where you come in. You and all of your wine-loving friends. I've discovered two new wines that are super yummy. A fun still white from the Douro (yes, the Douro has more than Port to offer us!) and an equally interesting red from France that isn't from Bordeaux, Burgundy, or the Rhone. I can't wait to taste these wines (and some cheese) with you and your cadre of pals while we discuss what makes the wines so delicious. How fun is that? Learn something new, taste something great.
I look forward to seeing you this Wednesday 3/15 at 8:00 P.M.

The finding will help researchers understand how cancer develops and may in future lead to new treatments, they said.
Everyone is born with the gene, called NRG1, but in some people it gets damaged during their lifetime and this can lead to cancer developing, it has been found.
Damaged NRG1s have been found in half of breast cancers and it has also been implicated in half of all prostate and bowel cancers along with one quarter of ovarian and bladder cancers.
When the gene works properly it acts as a brake, stopping cancer cells from growing, but when it is damaged the brakes are off, allowing the cells to multiply into a tumour.
Everybody is born with an intact NRG1 but it gets damaged in some people during their lifetime, thereby enabling cancer to develop.
The exact reason why the gene is damaged is lost has not yet been discovered.
However, by identifying the gene, experts hope they will be able to target therapies at specific cancers in the future.
The discovery of NRG1 is the most significant step forward in cancer gene research since another gene, p53, was discovered in the 1970s and was later implicated in the development in cancer in the 1980s.
This was the first "tumour suppressor" gene found within cells and it is now known that p53 is faulty or inactivated in many cancers.
The discovery was described as a "major step forward" by cancer charities in working out how cancer develops.
Dr Paul Edwards, of the department of pathology at the University of Cambridge, who discovered the gene with colleagues, said it provided "vital information" about how some cancers spread.
He said: "I believe NRG1 could be the most important tumour suppressor gene discovery in the last 20 years as it gives us vital information about a new mechanism that causes breast cancer.
"We found the gene on chromosome 8 partly by good luck and partly by good judgment.
"In every case that we looked at where a big chunk of chromosome 8 had been lost, at least part of the gene was lost.
"The gene was effectively 'turned off' in a lot of breast cancers.
"If we have found the gene that is lost on chromosome 8 and we know that some other cancers also lose that bit of chromosome 8, then it is logical that it is the same gene.
"We have got strong evidence that the gene is implicated in breast cancer but we have no reason to think it's not the same for other cancers, including prostate and colon cancer."
The research was published in the journal Oncogene and funded by Breast Cancer Campaign and Cancer Research UK.
Arlene Wilkie, director of research and policy at Breast Cancer Campaign, said: "Knowing the identity of this gene will lead to far more detailed studies of how it works and how it is involved in breast cancer development.
"This research is a major step forward in understanding the genetics of cancer and could open up a host of new strategies to improve diagnosis and treatment.
"In the UK, 12,000 women die from this disease every year, so it is vital we understand how breast cancer develops in order to stop it happening."
Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This discovery is an important step forward in understanding a disease that more than 45,500 women are diagnosed with in the UK each year.
"It might then be possible to develop ways to bypass the gene or target treatments to the defect."

An awkward silence
There I'll be at some do or another exchanging polite chit chat, keeping things going, passing the discussion back and forth like a ball in some PE warm up exercise. My attention will begin to wander, diverted perhaps by something on the periphery, and before you know it the conversational ball has been dropped. Silence ensues.
I now have two options. I can scurry after the ball, not quite sure which direction it was headed in, and try to get it back in play. Or I can bow out of the game and move on ( it's not been the first time a glass of wine has been perfunctorily quaffed to allow an excuse for escape). The option taken depends on the company I'm in, how brave I'm feeling, and quite possibly the number of wine glasses I've emptied already.
But what happens when the uncomfortable interlude is not just a lull in conversation due to a lack of concentration. What happens when its due to an unreturned phone call or a letter that deserves a reply? I'm ashamed to say I have created more than my fair share of those particular silences. A silence that grows more awkward as time ticks by, a silence that becomes increasingly difficult to break with each day that passes. I consider myself very lucky to have friends and family that are very accepting of this failing of mine and are willing to forgive my lapses in communication.
I do eventually pick up the phone or put pen to paper. So getting back to blogging shouldn't be so different....should it?

Well this is certainly a good start - and very astute!
I know they are from experience, but WHY should silences be awkward?
Good to see you back.

Great to hear from you....
although you may feel your silences are awkward perhaps others don't see them in the same way...
Blogging is an interesting means of communication - sometimes we put pressure on ourselves to keep them updated and it changes our view of what they are about or for.
Another thought (as a follower) is how to contact a blogger to see if they are ok or to say a friendly 'hello', when there is a silence, without making the writer feel 'stalked' or beholden to produce a perfecty penned post!
I love reading your thoughts whether they are often or infrequent...and do think of you inbetween!

More please...!!!
No pressure.
I love how kids don't have awkward silences , perhaps they're all actually telepathic and the rest of us don't know it :)

Bloggers seem to be a very forgiving bunch on the whole and they don't seem to take lapses, even very long ones, personally.
It's always nice to hear your voice, Linnhe, no matter how long it's been. X

- Jenny Blair said...
well if you break the silence with the same sweet charming words, you will ALWAYS be forgiven :)
know what you mean about the bloggy thing, Ali says it perfectly.
Thanks for your comment the other day..been trying to break my bloggy lethargy!....I hope you do have a bash at a little book of treasures :)x

Thanks Teresa, its good to be back.
If there is a lull because something inappropriate has been said I can understand feeling uncomfortable but I'm not quite sure why others are awkward. Perhaps we are just afraid of silence?
Hi Ali, thanks for your kind words. You're right of course, the pressure is all self inflicted. I'm always more than happy for anyone to contact me if they want to say hi, it might even take the pressure off having to write a post :o)
Think you could have a point there Alexis, now all they have to work on is telekinesis and they could get their own sandwiches!
Thanks Eryl, Blogland does indeed seem far more forgiving.
Aww shucks Jenny, you're gonna make me blush!
