Master Po Known by his followers here at 'WOL' by his pen name 'Po'. An abbreviation of Poemagraphic. Po lives in the South East of England in North Norfolk. He has been writing poetry since the early eighties. Po has made a life study and practice of meditation, which he started after becoming only the fourth person in the UK to attain a black belt in the Korean martial art of Hap-Ki-Do. He is also a Forth Degree Reiki Master Practitioner. Po has also studied Parapsychology; The study of mental phenomena that cannot be explained by known psychological or scientific principles, e.g. psychic ability, mediumship, extrasensory perception, remote viewing, etc. In the past, he wrote and published several articles on the paranormal, including 'Seeing and sensing the Aura' 'How to develop mediumship' 'The differences between ghosts and spirits' 'The truths of hauntings and possessions'. Having studied parapsychology for over forty years he went on to appear on BBC 'Look East Live' Halloween special, and having his own weekly radio phone-in and talk show on 'Future Radio FM'. Plus, being a regular contributor in the 'Paranormal Norfolk' magazine. Po is mediumistic, seeing, hearing, and sensing those who have left this world behind. He has conducted literally hundreds of private consultations and undertaken numerous 'serious' paranormal investigations throughout the South East of England. His experiences are a great source of inspiration for much of his poetry. Please feel free to contact Po either here at WOL, or email: email@example.com His sample 'Cocooned' below was the winning poem at the annual Reepham music festival.
Cocooned Finding new complexity in handwriting dexterity Searching for lost artistry in the guise of poetry At times the images so surreal, in my mind a cotton reel Unravels till a tangled thread weaves a web around my bed Then 'Itsy Bitsy' comes to call. Arachnophobia cause me to fall Awaking with a nasty bump, in my throat a ticking lump. As I yawn, a black widow falls and bites my naked toe. Then scampers off somewhere to hide… No antidote to be applied What will now become of me, and my newly found complexity? At the proverbial 'curling up of toes', 'Itsy Bitsy' runs up my nose and proceeds to weave a silver thread, that leads me back into my bed A cobweb covered woven duvet, now shrouds a corpse where once I lay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/11/19 11:00 Memorial The little white wooden church The small white wooden church had not an empty seat. With an overflowing congregation, so many on their feet. Spilling out of the door, to pay their last respects. Far more than I had thought, and more than most expect. The service was quite poignant, a fitting tribute that's for sure A lost and fallen comrade, this memorial was for. We bowed our heads in prayer, and silently we stood United in our grief, as a band of brothers surely would. After the service, I marched across the empty parade square Back towards MT, by a familiar sight, stood standing upright, there. A stark remnant of the Berlin Wall, perched like a sentry, alone, standing tall. A small section that was removed, torn down, smashed in a fall. Ending endless suffering, tyranny, and scorn. Globally it seemed then, a time of peace had been born. Whilst standing in its shadow, an unseen presence drawing near That of a true and gallant hero, who many hold so dear. What was his death for, it seemed so futile, and totally in vain Lost in a war, that truly was insane. Based on 'Blair's dodgy dossier', fictitious, full of lies. The cause of many thousand deaths, and the reason today we cried. Po https://www.writeoutloud.net/public/blogentry.php?blogentryid=96796 May 2020 The Mad Hatter's Tea Party I wonder if the Reaper likes a cup of tea He could join us at my tea party I'll invite him along to see He could sample my tasty layer cake and my posh conserves maybe he'll be nice to me And I'd give him his just deserts If I need a knife to cut my delicious carrot cake perhaps he'll lend me his razor-sharp scythe I hope for heaven's sake as I wield a downward blow it slices off his head I'd make a tasty effigy of 'The Reaper' in gingerbread That would be quite funny Que the Queen's well-worn catchphrase... "Off with his head!" As we watched it rolling down the hill and headless dead he lays. But who would then collect the souls at their end of days? Gosh! What a quandary that would surely be Who do you think might know... What was that vicar dear, Oh! Would you like more tea? Po

Delhi government has drafted a policy that will allow it to scrap 37 lakh vehicles that are older than 15 years, which is roughly 37% of the cars registered in Delhi.
The "End-of-vehicle-life policy" that allows officials to straightaway shred illegal vehicles would ease the worry of Traffic Police that has been going slow on implementing the National Green Tribunal's order due to space crunch in keeping impounded vehicles that are older than 15 years.
"If the draft rules are approved, impounding of vehicles will start early next year," Hindustan Times quoted a senior official of Delhi transport department as saying.
"There is no rule at present to guide the police or the government as to what is to be done with the vehicles after they are impounded. The new rules will create a mechanism to ensure proper disposal of old vehicles. This is going to be a first-of-its-kind policy in India," commissioner (transport) Varsha Joshi told the newspaper.
How will the scrapping process be conducted?
Hindustan Times reported that under the Delhi Scrapping of Vehicles Rules, 2018, the government will issue licences to scrap dealers who have scrapyards of at least 1,000 square yards in non-residential areas in Delhi-NCR. Only Delhi Pollution Control Committee-certified dealers will get the license.
The inauguration of Mahindra-MSTC recycling plant is expected to coincide with the Delhi government's policy rollout.
Mahindra MSTC recycling, a joint venture of Mahindra Intertrade Ltd. and MSTC (a Government enterprise), is expected to meet the deadline of February 2018 for the completion of the first phase of its vehicle scrapping plant, which includes collecting and dismantling of vehicles.
In October 2016, both the companies tied up for establishing India's first greenfield auto-shredding and recycling plant. The fully automated facility was first planned for Gujarat but the venue was later changed to Delhi, said a press release.
India's annual scrap requirement is of 5-6 million tonnes, which is met through imports. "Auto recycling (or scrappage), if implemented as per global standards, is not only environment-friendly, but also saves energy costs and minimises reliance on alternate resources," Sumit Issar, Managing Director, Mahindra Intertrade, said.
That could also mean an end to vehicles that are junked on road.
"Any junk vehicle found parked in public place shall be impounded and a communication will be sent to the registered owner, who will have to submit an undertaking for scrapping within a period of 15 days," KK Dahiya, special commissioner (transport), was quoted as saying.
An unclaimed impounded vehicle shall be scrapped through an authorised scrap dealer and the value will then be credited to the government account, he added.

All good things come at a specific price. If you wish to watch your favorite content via Roku, then you will have to subscribe to top streaming channels. But, if you don't want to add a payment method at the time of creating Roku account, then you can skip doing that. To know about the process, get in touch with Roku help and support providers.
The majority of Roku users has a perception that they will have to add a payment method while creating a Roku account. Seeing this information fluttering on the internet is making many people think whether they should buy a Roku device or not. Such news can be a big turnoff for many people who are looking to buy a Roku device. Reason being, people are not very comfortable giving the information about their credit/debit cards and PayPal account.
In reality, there is no such thing like that, as Roku account can be created without adding any payment method. Users can easily bypass credit information while creating an account. There are a few scenarios in which you don't require to add a payment method right up front.
Already paid for services
If you have subscribed to channels like Netflix or Amazon Prime prior to buying a Roku device, then there is no need to pay for the subscription of those channels again. You can install the channel in your Roku account and log in with your user information. You won't be asked to pay for the subscription.
Roku channel store has a number of free channels that you can subscribe to, and the best part is, you don't have to pay anything to subscribe to those. Although those free channels don't have too many of popular shows and movies that we all want to see, yet there are many things that will keep you entertained.
How to bypass 'credit information' option?
You can easily bypass credit information by clicking on the following link followed by proceeding further with the steps. Here is the link: https://my.roku.com/signup/nocc. Once you are on this page, you will see a form where you are supposed to ask your credit information, but you can scroll down and click an option named 'skip, I'll add later'.
Now, you don't have to worry about adding a payment method until there is a channel that you wish to subscribe. It is completely understandable that why people are not comfortable in adding their payment method because they are afraid that if that information gets in the hands of someone unknown, then their payment information could be misused.
If you have created Roku account and also added credit information, then you have the option of removing that information. If you don't know how to do that, then take help of Roku help and support providers.
How to contact Roku setup and support
If you have looked everywhere, but haven't been able to find 'Skip, I'll add later' button, then you will have to get in touch with Roku help and support providers. They will help you skip 'add payment' option, and directly put you in a position to watch your favorite content.

FSB's biggest-ever member consultation is helping us ensure the concerns of small businesses are being heard in the run-up to leaving the EU, writes Martin McTague, Policy Director at FSB.
In the run-up to triggering Article 50, Brexit has been a major focus for FSB. We have conducted our biggest consultation ever, holding meetings all over the UK and carrying out surveys with thousands of members, the initial findings of which are outlined here.
This research has helped to shape our lobbying. Any potential UK/EU free trade agreement must take into consideration the voice of small business. Simple access to markets such as the single market is crucial, and we need to avoid the creation of non-tariff barriers and unnecessary paperwork for issues such as the origin of products. Any arrangement will also need to pass the test of whether it will work in Ireland, with its border between the Republic and Northern Ireland.
There was a clear steer on labour, as well. We simply don't have enough people with mid-tier skills, and this could lead to a cliff-edge where UK firms can't get access to the people they need.
Business support, underpinned by European structural funds, is also a big topic, and we're advising Government on the replacement of such funding. Simple regulation following our departure from the EU is also essential, and the results of our member research into that area will be out shortly.
Away from Brexit, we pushed for several measures in the run-up to the recent Budget, which took place after the previous First Voice went to print. We called for a statutory definition of 'self-employed', so we could better protect this group and lobby on their behalf. Other issues we highlighted included insurance premium tax and fuel duty; non-domestic rates, where we believe the Government needs to look again at those facing steep rises, including in London; and the employment allowance, which needs to be increased to help companies offset the rise in the National Living Wage.
We also think the Government could do more to help small firms innovate, grow and improve their productivity through research and development tax credits, and potentially through a refreshed Small Business Research Initiative and the new Industrial Challenge Fund.
Elsewhere, we have been urging the Government to pull back from the unrealistic implementation timetable for its Making Tax Digital plans. We are also pushing to raise the exemption threshold to take even more small firms out of the incoming regime, and secure special help for those who will find the system hardest to
cope with.
The government's Industrial Strategy, which includes a pledge to shift decision-making to a more local level through Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), has also been a focus. We've been calling for reforms to how these are run, and were pleased to see the proposal to review the role of LEPs in the Industrial Strategy.
We will also have the architect of the new Industrial Strategy, Business Secretary Greg Clark, speaking to members at the upcoming National Business Show in Torquay on 23-25 March, alongside Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady. Members will also be able to hear the latest developments from FSB's work on Brexit. I look forward to seeing you there.

I have been feeling overwhelmed again and had to sit down and prioritize. I can only do so much, it used to be when I felt over loaded I just gave 'er hell for a few weeks and got it done. I think my time with JC seriously damaged my "get er done" abilities.
It is amazing how a decade of trauma, crisis, and drama can deplete a person of their coping ability. Now after being away from it I can really feel the effects of it. There is a reason its called PTS and I understand now what it means.
It makes me angry with JC all over again. I don't know if a narcissist feels the effects of stress they create but I can not believe how absolutely draining and all consuming life with JC was. I want to get on with my life, do something productive and not fixing something JC F'd up.
I want to seriously start focusing on "Ladies With Trucks"; which is going to involve working with sectors of government, charitable organizations, and shelters for abused women.
But before I can do that I have to get my books in order and file my taxes (a few years worth) and I have to drum up some business.
I have to finish with my teeth. I am 75% there but the last trip to the dentist was so traumatic I haven't been able to force myself back. It firmly cemented my fear of dentists so I waited until my mom came back from her 8 weeks in paradise so she can old my hand. (No kidding I am that afraid). That means I won't have my new smile until after my birthday. 😦
Then I want to apologize to everyone who has nominated me for an award the last few months. I have not forgotten about my obligations and actually was working on them this morning but it is time consuming on my Blackberry and thought; "Hell I'm two weeks away from moving and having the internet (hopefully) and being able to do it on my laptop". I truly appreciate every award I have received and every Tag and I WILL get to them!!!
I have to move in 2 weeks; MAJOR stress!! JC and I moved every year at least once. I would love dearly to have a place to call home. Some place I could settle in and know I will never have to leave. But I doubt I will ever have that again and it is the one thing that I miss the most. When I bought my trailer I thought that was going to be my "forever home" but as it is even if my step dad hadn't sold it out from under me I'd still have to move because they are closing the park.
People have already been taking their payout and moving; leaving perfectly good trailers behind. The park is demolishing them but anyone can have one for free if they have some place to put it, and there in lies the challenge. I responded to an ad in the paper that advertised a mobile home pad in an orchard that sounded promising. I called on it and the guy said he wasn't home and to call back in 20 minutes. I called back and he had some other guy on the line and said he'd call me back. The guy didn't show up to see the place and the owner called me back after I was asleep last night. I returned his call this morning and left a message-nothing back yet.
I'm not sure how much it will cost to move a mobile home and what is involved in getting it all hooked up somewhere else. I am still going to look into it. It would be ideal if I could find a place where the dogs and I could live in peace a place in the country where we could take long walks. I pray something will work out.
I don't have any money for rent or to move a trailer and pray I get some good paying work in the next week.
There in lies the other problem. The weather has been so shitty with rain and snow no one is doing much so there's no scrap. Plus I lost so many customers while with JC and my truck being down so much. I have never had to advertise or actively look for customers; I got them word of mouth and people just approached me when they saw me working. The competition for scrap has gotten pretty strong; lots of guys out there; so scrap doesn't pile up and no one is looking for someone to take it away. Its because prices are up which is good but makes for less of it.
I am going to approach the malls because every store has some sort of scrap and it isn't a place the other scrap haulers would think of. With regulations getting so stiff with regards to recycling and not putting recyclable materials in the garbage I think there is a market there. I have been working on a flyer I can hand out to the stores in the malls. If I hit each mall one day a week I can do up a schedule and still pick up from my other customers.
I have been slack assing lately and I know it. I wake up at 5:30 – 6 am but I haven't been getting out of the house until noon or later. That gives me enough time to do a couple of pick ups and get to Amix by 4:30. I should be getting out of the house by 9 and doing some PR and handing out business cards and flyers while I am still clean and presentable.
I needed the "down time", the past decade has been so draining and needed to recover, digest it, process it, and grieve the lost. But now I have to get my ass moving and make up for lost time.
The truck needs numerous minor repairs and its driving me insane. The doors need new hinges, the windshield, paint, rearend, brakes, shocks and that takes money.
I have to go to court this month for fines I got in 2010 because I was driving JC's truck and it wasn't insured. It had plates but they were off his semi!! It was the day I got punched in the head because he said I owed him $900 and he wanted it NOW. I still don't know what $900 he was talking about. So I am going to go to court, plead my case and ask for the courts sympathy and reduced fines and time to pay.
Another reason I didn't want to finish my teeth extractions because I didn't want to go to court with my teeth missing or a new denture I can't talk with.
I am starting to pack. I have found Roxy a good loving home. That's one down.
As much as I love to blog; I LOVE to blog! But for the next while I am going to have to curtail my blogging to some degree. I will have to restrict to a couple of hours in the morning and a couple (maybe) at night until I can use my laptop.
It is finally sunny out so I am getting out there and do some of the stuff I can't do in the rain. One of my customers, my biggest customer has a long hedge around their property and blackberries over taking their fence. As a way of pay back I have taken it upon myself to beautify the property. The owner is pleased with my efforts which is good; good customer relations. Happy customers remain customers!!
I am outta here for now.

According to one of the largest producers of stone aggregates in the US aggregates are being used more to protect our environment. When aggregate company Midsouth Aggregates needed to replace a submersible pump that pumped quarry water to a stone washing tower, they also looking to increase discharge flow. BJM's was confident that its 6 in KZN hard iron submersible pump could do the job.
Midsouth Aggregates, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama USA, produces aggregates by quarrying naturally occurring rock deposits. Granite and limestone are extracted by carefully controlled blasting, then are crushed and graded to produce stones of different sizes to be used in various applications. From concrete, wall board and roofing tiles to the roads we drive on and the bridges we cross – all use aggregates.
Midsouth Aggregates supplies aggregate products to the Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida Departments of Transportation, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Aviation Administration. Due to the ever increasing population in the southeastern United States, road building and maintenance will continue to be a top priority and will generate a steady demand for aggregate.
A Midsouth Aggregates plant in north central Alabama needed to replace a submersible pump that pumped quarry water to a stone washing tower. The plant also wanted to increase the discharge flow of the pump. The existing pump had a 4 in discharge. The new pumping conditions were 1000 GPM, 50 feet of vertical lift and 500 feet of horizontal run to the water tower. The manufacturer of the existing pump would have to use a pump with an 8 in discharge in order to meet the new conditions; BJM could accomplish the job with a 6 in KZN.
Aggregate from bedrock deposits are classified as hard, medium-hard and soft. After it's harvested, quarry rock is processed, which involves crushing, screening and cleaning. Massive stones are sent along a vibrating feeder from the feed bin to a jaw crusher for rough crushing. The smaller rock is then transferred by conveyor to a cone or impact crusher for secondary crushing. The fine crushed stones are transferred to a vibrating screen for separation by size. Stones that meet the specific requirements of the finished product are transferred to a finished products pile. The remaining stones are sent back to be crushed again. Dust removing equipment is often used as an additional environmental protection.
Scott Morrow, a dynamic fluids transfer distributor specializing in pumping equipment, suggested a BJM Pumps submersible built specifically for hard-to-handle rock slurries. Midsouth Aggregates didn't have any experience with BJM submersibles, so Morrow provided information on the BJM KZN hard metal slurry pump. Specifically, Scott suggested the BJM KZN220-30 HP high head, hard metal agitator slurry pump.
Because of BJM's wide experience in pumping coal slurries, line slurries and a variety of abrasive products found in wash down sumps, Midsouth Aggregates decided to give the pump a try. The quality features built into BJM's KZN slurry pump series were also factors in the decision and include the following: • Optimum wear resistance. All wetted parts are constructed of abrasive resistant 28% chrome iron (600 Brinell, 71 Rockwell C) for maximum wear life. In addition, a replaceable hardened wear plate is located on the suction side, where erosion would cause a loss of pump performance.• Maximum solids handling capability. An integral agitator fluidizes settled solids into a slurry making them easier to pump with less chance of clogging. The semi-open impeller handles abrasive solid concentrations as high as 70% by weight.
Also weighing into the decision was the fact that the KZN slurry pump achieves maximum service life because of numerous design features such as:• Class H motor insulation and built in amperage (FLA) and temperature overload protection;• Double silicon carbide mechanical seals in a separate oil filled seal chamber;• Heavy duty lip seal that provides additional protection for the mechanical seals;• Stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve that provide maximum wear and corrosion protection;• Pump volutes cast from hardened ductile iron (300 Brinell hardness), which is twice as abrasive resistant as standard ductile iron with walls that are extra thick at the point where pumped slurry enters the discharge.
Another key part of the pump construction is the semi-open impeller. Also made of 28% chrome, the slurry impeller must have the ability to work in tandem with the agitator to pass the aggregate through the pump and out the discharge. The agitator's ability to keep solids suspended in the fluid being pumped, as well keep the suction clear of clogs greatly aids the pumping action.
Additionally, Midsouth Aggregates liked the BJM vertical top discharge feature of the KZN220 agitator pump. The existing submersible pump in Midsouth Aggregates' application was a side discharge 90° elbow pipe that had a high wear area on the 180° turn. BJM's vertically positioned top discharge KZN promotes optimum wear resistance along the discharge path as well as use of the fluid being pumped for natural cooling of the pump's internal motor functions. BJM's vertical design also allows for the sump to be pumped down to within inches of the bottom.
Further, the vertical discharge and the 22.75 in diameter of the KZN220 creates a space saving footprint and allows installation in the tightest of manholes.
Midsouth Aggregates' Alexander City quarry plant manager Shane Horton mentioned that the BJM KZN220 has been in operation for more than three years. "We start the pump when the day begins and shut it down when we leave at the end of the day," he said. The pump's ability to pick up silt-laden water from a groundwater pond and pump it to the rock screen washing tower has provided trouble-free operation.
An increased demand on water supply in Jordan meant that high efficiency pumps, with a strictly ecological orientation, were selected from ANDRITZ.

Throwing stuff at the internet to see what sticks
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Camping Trip-Up
You know we love camping, right? We get that not everyone loves camping. It's not for everyone. As one of my coworkers said to me, "Uh, I pay a mortgage, so…"
Given our two-week road trip earlier in the summer, we haven't camped out in the tent as much as usual this year. In fact, we've only done it once, the weekend before last. And on this trip, more than any other, I can see where some of the anti-camping types are coming from. I've heard all the reasons people don't like camping -- or think they won't like it -- but on this last trip, we lived them.
Bugs. The minute we got out of Chao's truck at the campsite, we knew something was wrong. It wasn't even one in the afternoon, and the mosquitoes were swarming, worse than we'd ever seen them in this campground. Or indeed anywhere in the world. The collective noun for a group of mosquitoes is a swarm, right? So what's the collective noun for a group of swarms? Because we had that. I think we had a couple of them, actually. Plagues of swarms. I'm pretty sure I personally killed more than a hundred of them in the forty-odd hours we were there. It didn't even help. Not even leaving their corpses stuck to my skin with their little probosci still sunk deep in my flesh as a warning to the others seemed to help. And then when I was all furry with them, Trash didn't want to hug me.
There were also spiders, but you'd be amazed at how friendly toward spiders you can get when there are that many mosquitoes.
Extreme temperatures. Making things worse was the fact that the days were hot and windless, so it was too uncomfortable to wear a beekeeper's suit against the bugs. And it got really cold the first night, which must have been why Trash needed the entire sleeping bag.
Fear of getting stranded in the middle of nowhere. Chao's truck served us well, but we were camping with my brother-in-law, his wife, and their daughter Deniece (now eight-and-a-half), who were using her dad's RV to see if it would be feasible drive it to Yellowstone next month. I'm not going to get into how much time my BIL spent arguing with the RV's batteries, alternator, and jumper cables, or how many times we had to stop on the 150-mile drive back to give the RV enough juice to cover just half of the remaining distance home, but suffice it to say that my BIL's family had other vacation plans by the time the weekend was over.
Being expected to go fishing. I didn't go fishing. I don't fish. I know less about fishing than you do, and I'm not talking to any person reading this, I'm talking to their Internet routers. And yet I got nominated to buy all the bait and tackle anyway.
Rain. In a tent, at two in the morning, it's easy to play that game where you count the seconds between the lightning flashes and the thunderclaps to determine whether the storm is getting closer or further. At least, it's easy when there is a gap between lightning flashes and thunderclaps. A bit later, when the machine-gunning of raindrops on the micron of synthetic fabric protecting you from the elements turns into antiaircraft fire and the puddles on the plastic floor are slowly spreading and you're looking at the sodden nylon over your head that makes you curse yourself for not securing the rain-fly better, you find yourself thinking about those campers who died in flash-flooding in Arkansas and you realize something: tents don't have ejection seats. We could make a dash for the RV, but it's coming down so hard we'd get too soaked to make it worth it. Fortunately M. Edium is already sleeping in there with his aunt, uncle, and cousin, so if lighting hits the tent and fries us there'll be someone to carry on the family name.
We're up with the anemic sun the next morning, and are in such a hurry to stuff all our sodden gear into the truck (and to get away from the mosquitoes, which were not only not cleared out by the rain but are now traveling in curtains) that we're out of there in half an hour. Last night, we'd taken down the screen gazebo over the picnic table in order to save time packing this morning, and it worked -- there's a lot of stuff we now have to throw away rather than pack up.
Then we get home and everything has to be quickly unpacked, run through the laundry, and/or spread out on the ground to be dried by the sun (because of course the rainstorm that made our night and morning miserable did nothing for our lawn or garden here at home). The sodden tent and screen gazebo are set up again in the yard so they don't mildew in their bags between now and whenever the next camping trip is, and the roof of a car turns out to be the perfect-sized drying rack for a sleeping bag. The tarps dry fastest, of course. That is, the tarp we brought home. We abandoned two of them at the campsite because they had become folding ponds. I'm sure someone else will enjoy them. It's like all the work of two camping trips with the fun of one!
Wild Animals. At some point during the Blair Witch hours of the morning between the end of the rainstorm and the sunrise, something's outside our tent. It's quiet, but I know it's there because something distinctly muzzle-shaped is pressing inward on the tent wall that's two feet from Trash's face. This is not an errant leaf or branch blowing past -- this is something that wants in.
The good news is that whatever it is, it's very low to the ground. "It's a chipmunk," I tell Trash optimistically, trying to think of the cutest, most harmless thing it could be. Trash is not convinced, and bops the nose with her Maglite. It goes away -- the second time she does it. We figure it was a raccoon, or maybe just another camper's escaped dog. Probably not a badger. Or a wolverine. Just something that didn't like the mosquitoes any more than we did. A harmless little grizzly bear, maybe.
So I realize that this post isn't going to convince anybody whot's skeptical about camping, but we actually did have a fun time, despite being coated in enough DEET to poison a moose. But I will make one small confession:

You know, the thing is, you somehow have that aura of being a guy who would know his way around a tackle box. I THINK that's a compliment. Let's just say that it is a compliment.
By Weetabix, at August 19, 2010 at 7:38 AM
I will loudly and willingly admit that I am one who falls staunchly into the "not into camping" camp.
By Heather, at August 19, 2010 at 7:55 AM
@Weet - I'll take it as a compliment. I try to have the aura of knowing my way around a lot of things. It's a lot less time-consuming than actually knowing my way around them.

Shelton develops goals for last year of high school
September 27, 2017
Senior year is a time to reflect on the past three years of high school. Senior Jordan Shelton said that his high school experience has been surreal. Shelton describes his experience as adventurous. He has enjoyed getting to meet new people and all of the teachers as well. Along with that, Shelton has a couple goals for the rest of his senior year.
"Honestly, it's to pass," Shelton said. "Another thing is to meet more people."
While Shelton has those goals for himself, he also has some words of advice.
"My advice for freshmen: do your work, turn it in, don't make enemies with teachers, don't be late to class, always bring a pair of headphones and a charger and maybe your own lunch occasionally," Shelton said.

On a brilliant summer day in Newbury, Erin Bligh's goats are literally dancing down a grassy slope to check out a visitor. With their big eyes, soft coats, and long, floppy ears, these Nubian and Oberhasli goats provide the milk for Dancing Goats Dairy's delicious and very fresh cheeses (Motto: "Made by Hooves — Crafted by Hand"). Bligh's cheeses range from fresh whipped chevre to aged cheeses studded with peppercorns and herbs. Many of the aged cheeses are named for strong women — such as the Ruth Bader Ginsburg cow and goat cheddar with peppercorns and Josephine Baker goat sardo, and are aged 5 to 9 months. Whipped chevre varieties such as Everything Bagel, Fig, and Sea Salt are sold within days of production.
The 45 goats and 30 kids have space to roam and a comfy barn. Bligh, 29, who knows each by name and number, started the dairy in 2012, selling some goat milk and making soap, and then ramped up the herd and began cheese making in 2014. Now during milking season from March to December, 32 does are milked twice a day. Cheese making goes on every day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in a spotless room next to the field. The cheese can be purchased at the dairy from a cash-
only honor box, at several farm stores, and at the Marblehead, Newburyport, and Cape Ann farmers' markets.
Bligh, who is helped in the dairy by her brother, two apprentices, and a volunteer, did not plan to be a cheese maker, majoring in French literature and political science. But she fell in love with French cheeses during a term abroad in France. She apprenticed at Consider Bardwell Farm in West Pawlett, Vt. "My mom dropped me off in a snowstorm, expecting that I would call in a few days, begging to come home." Instead she loved wading through snow to feed goats and learning cheese making with its long hours and constant need for washing up to keep the process sanitary. Although she's experimenting with using some cows' milk from a local dairy in some cheeses and with developing new cheese recipes, she's content to stay small, handcrafting her cheeses and tending her goats. "They're very personable," Bligh says. "A whole herd of charmers."
Some locations selling Dancing Goats Dairy cheeses: Dancing Goats Dairy, 41R Parker St. Newbury (farm visits and tours by appointment, 978-255-3218); Newburyport, Cape Ann, Marblehead farmers' markets; and Tendercrop Farm Store, 108 High Road, Newbury.

After long time, we are back with some regular stuff like related to Windows OS and other platforms. We recently posted the review on Ditto Note 3 ROM made for Samsung Galaxy Note II device with video review too where v3 version based on latest official MK4 firmware is out by Team Electron.
So, today's topic is :Ways to Find Date & Time When Windows Was Installed, we are giving some general ways/tricks that can be used to find date & time when you installed your Windows OS. Tricks are simple to do as there is no much complexity in it and we mentioned only 2 tricks that are easy to do.
1)Windows Users Folder:
So, this is simplest and easiest method that can be done to find when you setup your computer i.e, you installed Windows operating system.
Things to do:
Open "My Computer" Or "Computer" Or "This PC" as per your windows version as MS had changed Windows Explorer's name in each version where currently, in Windows 8.1 it is termed as "This PC".
Then go to C:/ Drive usually where your Windows installation is done and then you will see "Users" folder, get in that folder where you will see different user account directories, from that you should right click on that folder like we have "Pavan Jadhav" and then under properties you may see "Created: Date and Time"
2)Command Prompt Method:
First method is simple to do but if you want to access it via command prompt(CMD) then also with simple command input you may access your installation date.
For doing this, just input following command in "Command Prompt" either by copy paste or by typing it.
systeminfo | find /i "date"
So, this was the simplest and short tutorial on finding the installation date and time of Windows OS.

Yes, and George Lucas later bought back all the ownership rights.Ben wrote:Twentieth Century Fox produced and paid totally for the first Star Wars film in 1977, granting Lucas rights to all sequels and merchandise because they thought it would bomb (the film was only made because Alan Ladd Jr believed in Lucas).
- "After the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, was released in 1977 and became the highest-grossing movie of all time, Lucas personally financed the sequel and bought back the rights to the original film from its financier and distributor, 20th Century Fox."
The Lucasfilm company owns the entire Star Wars franchise - absolutely everything.

With your
virtual instrument you have access to a collection of unique instruments, invented and constructed by Ferdinand Foersch.
We recorded these instruments with best care and attention and then spent hundreds of hours to map them according to Ferdinand Foersch´s ideas and visions. The result is a new instrument with lots of surprising sounds, divided in different categories. All rhythmical sequences are midi based and therefore adjust seamlessly to your sequencers speed. Also the midi input for the rhythmical sequences is quantized to the next beat for additional timing accuracy. Whenever possible and useful we grouped instruments together, to allow you to key-switch between different playing techniques. Be curious and play around, take your time and let the sounds evolve. Also dont forget to check out the bonus section for our exemplary and inspiring construction kits.
As a musician, composer and artist, the producer Ferdinand Försch has been inventing and constructing new musical instruments, sound sculptures and installations since 1982..
So far, he has developed over a hundred musical instruments (metal drums, string instruments and combinations, sound images, drum- and sound walls and sound machines), building them from a wide range of materials right up to scrap
These instruments have been presented in concerts, performances and exhibitions all over the world (The Kitchen, N.Y.C., Shanghai Arts Festival, West Africa, numerous European festivals etc.).
A central inspiration in his research and work is the relationship between the acoustic and the visual, between sound and form, hearing and seeing. Through creatively engaging in this interplay, an inherent unity in diversity is developed. All the sounds you can hear and work with in the KLANGHAUS library come from an original and unique source.
In 1997 he founded the KLANGHAUS in Hamburg, Germany, as an experimental forum for concerts, exhibitions and interdisciplinary performances. After 30 years of building musical instruments he has decided to open the doors further and pass on his sound work as a virtual instrument resulting in the KLANGHAUS Library powered by the Best Service Engine sampler!

I was impressed by the range of panelists and speakers – from all ends of the privacy spectrum; Big Brother Watch to GCHQ were represented and met with not with fire and fury, but a mutual respect and a wish to make our digital lives better.
I've noted which speakers were at each talk – their bios can be found on the ORGcon website here.
I've jotted down a brief summary of my impressions from each talk – hopefully they'll give a little glimpse into each session I attended. ORG livestreamed all the main stage talks (including the Snowden keynote) – you can find the recording here. I understand that they'll have more recordings on their YouTube channel soon.
There were also two amazing artists who were sketching a summary of each talk – here's a sample of a few of them, incredible talent to do this on the fly all day on a hot Saturday!
Snowden Keynote
Speakers: Edward Snowden & Martin Bright
State surveillance which now targets journalists, political minorities and immigrants protects "state security" rather than "public security". Mass surveillance is not just a failure of privacy, but a failure of democracy.
When asked if his personal politics had shifted from the right while at NSA to the left as he leaked their data, he replied that he had never been about left or right – he was more concerned with the "up and down" of the powers governments held.
We now think so little of politicians that we expect the worst from them in any situation…
Great question from the audience – how do children deal with corporations predating on their personal data? Snowden noted that most younger users don't really care about giving up privacy in return for convenience.
We should instead be building towards technology that doesn't require people to read patch notes, tech advisories and pages of user agreements to engage securely
He finished on an upbeat note – there is hope for the future – society will shape the regulations, change can be effected!
The Personal is the Political – How your data defines your personal ads
Panel: Reema Patel, Ravi Nalik, Rose Acton, Steve Wood
Political ads learning from Facebook etc on how to present ads – A/B testing, scaling etc. Very economical to reach large numbers and tweak adverts based on feedback.
Lots of concern about regulation – ads need to be archived and transparency as to who commissioned them. Big issue around third parties putting forward ads without ties to the parent party. Regulation is fining non-compliance, but third parties will be harder to pin down.
One gentleman asked about mind control – the audience getting a dopamine rush from their laptops and smart devices rather than engaging with the talk going on. How will this be regulated? The panel did not have an answer….
Can tech be truly ethical?
Panel: Paul Dourish, Lillian Edwards, Ann Light, Gina Neff
Is this a matter of design or regulation?
Lots of discussion around process vs people. Concerns about biases in algorithms, e.g Amazon tech hiring algorithm prioritising men over women due to the bias of the programmers…
Most of the panel felt change will be a mix of regulation and design. One question from the audience was how to deal with the "charging bulls" (e.g. Facebook). More intense regulation definitely required – but other monolithic companies can "be better"; Microsoft as a good example of a company doing the right thing.
Companies should change from "Move fast and break stuff" to "Move slowly and grow stuff"
"Tech isn't good, isn't bad, but it's not neutral either"
Facial Recognition
Panel: Silkie Carlo, Dr. Suzanne Shale, Sian Berry, Madhumita Murgia
General concern that the Metropolitan Police Service had been running LFR (Live Facial Recognition) trials since 2014 and that match rates were extremely low (80%+ mismatch rate). Officers are supposed to be performing QA on matches, but Big Brother Watch noted examples where people had been stopped regardless of the quality of the match.
Also of concern that LFR struggles with BME/female matching – algorithm bias introduced by engineers?
I was impressed to see MPs/Government attending and engaging on this subject (amongst others)
Solving the encryption dilemma
Interesting choice of speakers – Nate Cardoza (Privacy Policy Manager for Facebook) and Mark Daly (NCSC/GCHQ). Neither got booed! Cori Crider was an excellent moderator, with some penetrating questions.
Facebook Messenger currently not end-to-end encrypted, this is due to change in next 2 years.
Talked about the "Ghost Proposal" where government agencies would have key escrow on end-to-end encrypted communication . Mark Daly stated that the govt wasn't interested in this currently…
Nate spoke about his shift from EFF to Facebook, wants to ensure that privacy is at forefront of FB policies. If he leaves, be concerned about what they're up to… Hopefully a shift away from harvesting metadata.
A safeguarding dystopia
Panel: Jim Killock, Josianne Galea Baron, Vinous Ali
How do we go about protecting children online?
Thorough summary of UNICEF's mission to protect children by Josianne. Children have numerous rights enshrined in law to safeguard them (similar to Human Rights Act)
Technology can empower children, but is it being used in the right way to keep them safe?
Are the age verification measures being put in place suitable, workable? – concerns around privacy of data (breaches, who holds the data). Mindgeek are aiming to be the AgeID gatekeepers – they're also the owners of one of the biggest porn sites on the Web.
Little thought given to educating parents on how to keep children safe online. Definitely a key issue and one given very little weight by the government!
Legislation- issues with sexting in underage but age-appropriate relationships (although Outcome 21 not mentioned)
Vulnerability – many children in vulnerable situations (care homes etc). Harder to protect them.
Thanks to Owen Blacker, who live tweeted this discussion and reminded me of some of the talking points!
Final Thoughts
This was a really interesting convention – I was genuinely surprised with the breadth of speakers attending. Getting representatives from Parliament and the big data companies is essential if we want to enact the changes discussed and they seemed engaged and receptive to criticisms of policy and law within their respective organisations.
I was slightly disappointed not to be able to get into the Action Space, which was looking at the data held on mobile phones and how companies hide their tracking of users and pull that data out. Obviously a popular topic!
I think the conference was just on the verge of needing a second day – I had to choose between two different talks a couple of times, but it would require a few more main stage talks to fill out a second day (which I'm sure they could have arranged).
All in all, I really enjoyed my first ORGcon, see you there next year!

ECOBLOG...FOSSIL FUEL EXPORTER.....ON THE VERGE OF TRANSITION FROM COAL one day soon
Saturday, December 18, 2010
Light-hearted Christmas Island series of stamps for the festive season picture a gift bound by flowers native to the Island and a Frigatebird all part of unique natural heritage in those tropical climes.
(See http://shop.auspost.com.au/collections/stamps-issues) The island once had its own postage stamps.
The island is a small territory of Australia, way off the coast, 2600 km NW of Perth WA, and 360 km south of Jakarta Indonesia, with 135 square kms of land and a few people.
It is a prison in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to S.E. Asia to promote illegal ill-fated sea voyages by refugees..
It is all part of the broader picture of mass-migration and deserves a global response.
In discontinuity, without a global perspective, our leaders have been very mean spirited and have fostered selfish possessive attitudes when communities are objecting to the prospect of building decent facility for immigrants anywhere near them.
These are not words from a 'bleeding heart'. Sure, uncontrolled migration is undesirable but still needs to be handled by humanitarians. And despite the fact that some people may leave for a journey to Australia just because they can.
The Howard government excised Christmas Island from the Australian Migration Zone meaning that refugees arriving there could not automatically apply for refugee status and a prison was set up there.
An undertaking we can be very proud of - not. Leadership and wisdom beyond compare. I was full of disbelief at the amazing solutions undertaken by our governments.

It's October. I'm 6 projects behind. I have the biggest, hardest, most daunting project coming up this month. From the 20th thru the 28th, I'm booked with a wedding, a vacation and a football game, in addition to work and school. I'm afraid I won't make it to my goal of finishing 75 projects by Dec 31. My mom suggested just writing on my blog that "I overestimated the amount I could do and adjusted my goal to 50." That's not good enough for me. I set myself a challenge and I'm going to finish it, even if I have to spray paint my hair to count as a project (Okay, I won't go that far, but you get the idea.)
With all the sewing I've been doing, I've been accumulating a nice amount of scrap fabric. Instead of spending more money on fabric, I've decided to focus on using what I've got to make some cool stuff.
Last night I whipped up a cover for my checkbook using some leftovers from my chevron skirt.
I braided some embroidery thread and sewed it on with a button to make a nice closure.
Cost: Free! Leftover fabric, some thread and a button I already had.

Knee Replacement and Social Security Disability Benefits
Scott D. Lewis is an Indianapolis Social Security disability attorney helping individuals throughout the state of Indiana in obtaining their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. In disability attorney Scott Lewis' experience individuals who have had a knee replacement can win a disability claim depending on the specific facts in their claim. This blog is designed to discuss some of those issues involved in a knee replacement claim.
First it is important to note the Social Security Administration (SSA) does recognize this disability in its Listing of Impairments under Listing 1.02 Major Dysfunction of Joint(s). At times Indiana disability claimants are found disabled by either meeting or equaling this listing due to severe knee impairments. Although, in Mr. Lewis' experience more individuals are found disabled by another analysis when it comes to individuals who have underwent knee replacement.
If you do not equal or meet a listing, your physical residual functional capacity may be so diminished that you are unable to work. In other words, your inability to sit, stand, and/or walk for any length of time may render you unable to perform substantial gainful activity. Also, the pain you experience may make you unable to concentrate or stay on task. Many individuals with severe knee problems and/or knee replacements may find themselves in constant pain whether sitting or standing.
The need for the use of a cane while at the workstation may also exclude many occupations. Individuals who need a cane while performing a standing job or a job with a sit/stand option may be considered a one-armed worker and unable to perform that type of work. Some individuals with knee and leg issues that create swelling must periodically elevate their legs to waist level to reduce swelling while at a seated job. This need to elevate legs periodically to relieve swelling may result in the inability to perform sedentary or sit down occupations.
Indiana Social Security disability attorney Scott Lewis believes no two disability cases are exactly the same and he strives to make every effort to discuss the details of your individual claim. If you or someone you know has questions regarding Social Security disability contact Mr. Lewis for a free case evaluation.

Chronic pain
If you don't fancy a cup of coffee to start your day but need a boost first thing in the morning, there are numerous Wake-and-Bake marijuana strains to choose from. Far from the stereotypical nonsense, which suggests that cannabis makes you sleepy and lazy, there are specific strains capable of hitting you similarly to Red Bull.
We could argue that the herb is better for you than a combination of caffeine, taurine, sugar, and whatever the hell else is inside these drinks, but we'll allow scientific research to run its course. In any case, the Super Jack strain is renowned as one of the finest Wake-and-Bake strains around.
What is the Super Jack Strain?
The name of Super Jack weed gives you some idea of what to expect. It is the child of legendary parents – Jack Herer and Super Silver Haze; and is almost entirely sativa. This strain is occasionally known as Super Jack Haze by some weed users and is the 'go-to' morning strain for a growing number of individuals.
One of the great things about Super Jack is its alluring scent. Even if Cat's Piss were a good Wake-and-Bake option, I doubt too many people would be reaching for it! In contrast, Super Jack's buttery aroma is a real delight. Once you light up a joint, it provides a spiced citrus smell with hints of herb and earth. If you love butter, the scent may persuade you to go downstairs and begin your day with a stack of pancakes.
This strain's flavor also has a buttery sensation and is mixed with a sweet tropical fruit taste. Add in hints of spice and pine, and you have a great-tasting wake and bake strain. You may notice extra sweetness when you exhale.
Super Jack has mint green buds which appear in a spade-like shape. Once harvest time approaches, you will be treated to the wonderful sight of trichomes glistening like chandelier crystals, along with orange hairs and sticky resin.
Super Jack Strain Grow Info
Ideally, you will only purchase Super Jack seeds if you have prior experience growing because it is not the best option for first-time cultivation. Information on growing Super Jack isn't easy to come by although it should grow well whether you plant it indoors or outdoors. Likewise, you can trust it to thrive in soil or an inert growing medium which you use when opting for a hydroponics system.
If you grow Super Jack indoors, its flowering time is approximately 9 weeks, and the yield is up to 20 ounces per square meter planted. If you live in the appropriate warm and sunny climate, the yield for Super Jack should be up to 21 ounces when planted outdoors. It should be ready for harvest by the beginning of October.
THC Content – Highest Test
In general, Super Jack weed has a THC content of between 18% and 20%; although we have heard that some phenotypes hit 23%.
CBD Content – Highest Test
Super Jack is not known for its THC content, which seldom exceeds 0.2%.
What Can I Expect When I Use Super Jack Weed?
If you don't like caffeine in the morning, or else you want a rapid-fire 'pick me up,' Super Jack is the right choice. If you want Jack to be quick (in terms of taking effect), use a vaporizer to feel your energy rising in a matter of minutes. No one knows who originally bred Super Jack, but it is making its way to the bedside tables of users across North America.
You should experience an initial cerebral buzz, followed by a boost in your mood. This makes Super Jack the perfect strain if you typically begin mornings as cheerful as a bear with a sore ass. Users also report feeling more talkative and are keen to engage in social interactions. If you normally feel like Dilbert trapped in corporate hell, Super Jack may be enough to help you get through the day.
The mental high is rather potent, so novices, watch out. If you have a reasonable tolerance to marijuana, Super Jack is what you want in the morning because the head high doesn't cause your body to become tired and sluggish. A single packed bowl of Super Jack should set you up for several hours.
Medical Benefits of Super Jack Marijuana
You won't be surprised to learn that Super Jack is a highly sought-after marijuana strain for individuals with chronic fatigue. It is also a natural option if you wish to treat depression, chronic pain, or stress. The main danger is that you become dependent on weed in the same way that Elvis relied on uppers and downers.
You could, theoretically, use a heavy indica to help you sleep and Super Jack to get you ready for the day, but it is always best if you use marijuana sparingly, instead of developing a dependence on it.
Possible Side Effects of Super Jack Weed
Unlike energy drinks or pharmaceutical drugs, there is no sudden energy crash as the high wears off. Instead, it fades away, and you may ultimately feel how you did before using the strain. As Super Jack is such a potent strain, you must be wary of dry mouth and dry eyes.
There is also a chance that you could feel dizzy and paranoid after use; though this usually happens when you either use way too much or else you are a newbie who can't handle strong cannabis.
Final Thoughts on Super Jack Cannabis
This almost pure sativa is a marvelous blend of two fabulous marijuana strains. It is very potent, but its buttery scent and tropical fruity taste will lure you in. As long as you use it wisely, Super Jack could prove to be a valuable weapon in the fight against fatigue. It is an outstanding Wake-and-Bake strain, albeit one that requires knowledge and experience to cultivate.
