We like to have a big dinner on Sundays--and my sweety always cooks them. I get the day off of housework on Sundays--and boy is that ever nice! This week he did a ham, and hub likes to put the pineapple rings all over it and makes up a brown sugar concoction with the pineapple juice and pours that all over everything and cooks up all up nice and yummy! ( I love that sweet/salty ham gravy....mmmmm!) I thought I had bought a can of pineapple slices, but what I had gotten was chunks! So, we just had to make do---let me introduce you to the "Alien Ham"
And the most handsome gravy-maker around!! (oh yeah--I'm a lucky gal! lol)
I made another little housekeeper bear this week--this one is a cousin of Mrs. Mooney--Aunt Bee. She likes to have a little fun with her name and wear clothes that have bees on them! lol
I just finished this new bagkeeper today and got it listed in my shop. I call it "Getting together for Drinks-old style" I did it up in turquoise with touches of red. Don't you just love these vintage patterns with the animated dishes--I never get tired of them!
KJ, from the Eye-dyllic blog, recently asked me to make a framed stitchery for her with a motif from a bag I had in my shop. She is a singer --and the happy little lark struck a happy chord with her. She was kind enough to do a blog post on it, if you want to have a peek! It was a fun project to work on--especially knowing that it was going to such a sweetheart of a gal!

Bjorn Borg is to play on grass in the UK for the first time since his 1981 Wimbledon final loss to John McEnroe.
Borg won 11 Grand Slam titles in total
The 50-year-old Swede, who won five straight titles in SW19, will take part in this year's Liverpool International tennis tournament from 12-17 June.
Event director Anders Borg said: "It's fantastic Bjorn has agreed to play. We hope to see once again some of Borg's tennis genius and sparkle."
He will feature in a doubles match on 13 June and a singles match on 15 June.
Borg received a Lifetime Achievement award at the 2006 BBC Sports Personality Awards in December.
As well as his Wimbledon titles, he won six French Open crowns before retiring in 1983 at the age of 26.
The Liverpool International event, now in its sixth year, serves as a warm-up to Wimbledon, which begins on 25 June.
It features a mixture of current players and stars of the past from both the men's and women's game.
Previous tournaments at Calderstone's Park have attracted Goran Ivanisevic, Pat Cash, Ilie Nastase, Henri Leconte and Martina Navratilova.

Someone has to highlight the potentially sinister and unrepresentative way many Borders community councils are now being run – especially those who have low numbers and no democratic process.
Many are made up of individuals who have not been elected and are not representative of the views of the communities they are living in. Many of those individuals have their own agendas, both personal and political.
It is an unhealthy state of affairs. Without democratic process, putting their own names forward for a position on their local community council can allow extremists to access a platform to record their individual views about a range of local issues such as planning, traffic, roads, education etc.
If MPs, MSPs and SBC councillors were unelected and allowed to have their own personal views recorded as being “the wishes of the local community”, then there would understandably be a huge outcry.
Why have we reached a position where – often due to lack of interest or locals being put off by the thought of the discomfort of sitting round the table with some difficult, but articulate and outspoken characters – a few people with their own agendas are allowed to spout their own personal views as being representative?
Community councils need to be democratically representative.

There’s been a lot of doom and gloom surrounding Microsoft’s next-generation console over the last few days. While the company’s anti-consumer used-game policy and “occasionally-online” vague DRM policy are disappointing (I’m still waiting for a solid answer on both fronts), there is still a lot to look forward to when it comes to the Xbox One.
But looking at the Xbox One from a positive perspective, there’s a lot to get excited about when it comes to Microsoft’s upcoming TV-watching, gaming-playing, entertainment box.
1. The future is in the Cloud.
Microsoft has stated that the Xbox One could potentially take advantage of remote cloud-based processing power. While this feature isn’t expected to be taken advantage of for some time, looking into the future, especially once developers get the hang of creating games for the Xbox One, this feature could potentially give the console an edge on the PlayStation 4 and the Wii U.
This new cloud computing push is tied to Xbox Live’s new 300,000-server data centres. In an interview with Arstechnica, the general manager of Redmond Game Studios and Platforms, Matt Booty, said the following:
“Let’s say you’re looking at a forest scene and you need to calculate the light coming through the trees, or you’re going through a battlefield and have very dense volumetric fog that’s hugging the terrain. Those things often involve some complicated up-front calculations when you enter that world, but they don’t necessarily have to be updated every frame. Those are perfect candidates for the console to offload that to the cloud—the cloud can do the heavy lifting, because you’ve got the ability to throw multiple devices at the problem in the cloud.”
2. You can save at any time
While there aren’t a lot of games that don’t allow you to save at any point these days, having the ability to “snap” between applications and have your game still play, or have a television show display in the corner while you’re gaming, is awesome. Saving your game at any time and resuming it from that exact point (sort of how most smartphones work) is also great. Usually when I play games, I have Netflix running on a separate screen anyway, so this would make doing this much easier.
Also, using audible Kinect commands to instantly switch between applications (if this actually works like Microsoft said it will) could be really innovative and convenient, especially for more casual users of the Xbox One.
3. A Halo TV series could be amazing
A Halo episodic TV series could be awesome. Forward Unto Dawn was surprisingly entertaining and, this time, Microsoft even has Steven Spielberg involved in the project in some way.
If Microsoft puts the funds into doing this right, and they probably will, this could be the next best thing to the cancelled Neill Blomkamp Halo movie. This could be the start of a bunch of a original game-related Microsoft-produced TV shows. I’d totally watch a Gears of War television show.
4. 15 exclusive titles are on their way
If this is true, Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about the hardcore gamer like everyone thinks they have. Announcing 15 exclusives is a big number and it’ll be hard to deliver. But, looking at things from a positive perspective, imagine if Microsoft had revealed a new Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing and Halo 5 title.
This is wishful thinking, but it could happen. Also, Ryse, that interesting looking Kinect game from 2011, will apparently resurface at Microsoft’s E3 presentation. If Kinect 2.0 turns out to work as well people who’ve seen it think it will, Ryse could turn out to be a killer app. Kinect 2.0 can also track your heart rate. Sit back and think about the unique gameplay opportunities that could come from that feature for a bit.
Also, on a side note, the new revamped Xbox 360 controller with the vibrating triggers looks awesome.

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province in Indonesia, is susceptible to the threat of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, drought, whirlwinds, and fires. This means that all districts in the province are categorized as a disaster-prone area. The results of the preliminary study found that disaster hazards such as floods and whirlwinds were serious threats especially for the students of Rehoboth Christian Elementary School in Central Kupang Sub District, Kupang District. This article aimed to analyze the integration of disaster risk reduction materials into school learning during the Covid-19 pandemic at Rehoboth Christian School. This research used a case study approach and the data were collected using the in-depth interview technique and focus group discussion. The informants in this study were the teachers. The result showed that disaster information literacy at Rehoboth Christian School was implemented by integrating disaster topics, especially floods, and whirlwinds into the teacher’s lesson plans. It found also that the school’s strategy for learning during the Covid-19 pandemic was changing the learning method according to the demands of the new normal era. All learning processes were carried out using the home visit method. Teachers proactively visited students’ houses to conduct short lessons and distribute learning materials.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak with clear voice as an everyday diabetic. As diabetics we must factor in the stresses and strains of everyday life with the fluctuations they cause to our condition. My core belief is that the Diabetes Industry has yet to fully come to terms with this (us), continuing to treat lightly the impact day-to-day living has on our health, and health has on our quality of life; overlooking the diabetic in the treatment of diabetes. "Hey, that same thing happened to me and look out for this or don't feel bad about that. I've been through this already and it got me too but look on it like this and it's not so bad plus you can avoid it happening again in the future by - " Taken from 'A book I wish someone had written' In essence, someone who understands my on-going needs; my potential and future difficulties, someone who has been around the block a few times who can advise or at least reminisce on the professional, social and personal challenges to be overcome should I wish to continue with any resemblance of normal life - more than that, an idyllic life.
A friend who can talk me through getting over the worst of it - or at least getting on top of it, even if it may already be too late for them. And with that (and you) in mind I have written 'Persona non grata with diabetes,' a lowbrow walkthrough of real life with diabetes, hoping that from within these shared pages we are able to draw parallels and exchange in lifetime experience, exemplified throughout in life defining moments. None of which stray too far, if at all, from a life with diabetes but all of which touch on this condition in one way or another; offering comfort in the knowledge that what we are going through both physically and emotionally is shared by us all.

This monumental building, named in honor of Ottoman Sultan Ertogrul, for the first time was opened in 1998. The building external appearance has many similarities with Istanbul's Blue Mosque. The building was built by means of the Turkish Republic. There was no one mosque in Ashgabat until 1991. So Ertogrulgazy mosque became one of the first mosques in the Turkmen capital. As mentioned above, the architecture of the mosque is not typical for Central Asia. There are the Byzantine and Islamic styles of architecture.
Ertogrulgazy mosque is a true spiritual center for the believers in Ashgabat. It is important to note that there is Mufti’s device of Turkmenistan. Now it is headed by Mufti M. Akyev. There is a courtyard with a fountain inside this magnificent building. The room for believers is decorated with beautiful paintings. Ertogrulgazy mosque is visited by thousand faithful every Friday and public holidays of Turkmenistan.

A leading trade union official on the island has categorically denied claims made by Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell at a public forum involving members of the ruling New National Party (NNP) in St. Andrew North-east that the issue between government and public sector unions over Pension for public officers will no longer be settled in court but will be resolved through a negotiated settlement.
The Prime Minister made the revelation when responding to a question asked by a constituent last Thursday night on the status of the court case between the government and the trade unions in this country with regards to the Pension Disqualification act.
The Public Workers Union (PWU), Grenada Union of Teachers (GUT) and the Technical & Allied Workers Union (TAWU) have been battling government for over 30 years now for a restoration of pension for public officers that was brought to an end by the 1979-83 left-leaning People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) of late Prime Minister Maurice Bishop on the introduction of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS).
The Grenada high court has ruled that the action of the PRG was ultra vires the island’s constitution.
The issue of the status of the restoration of Pension to public officers was raised at last week’s meeting held in the rural constituency of Youth Minister Kate Lewis.
In response, Prime Minister Mitchell said, “We have agreed that we need to deal with the pension issue, the Pension Disqualification act – we agreed with the unions … this whole court case – we have not pursued it – that is something that we have agreed to.
“The whole question of how we go about it, how do we correct it is something that we have to be careful with because the cost – if we go back to the period – way back and have the same system of the colonial period and we invoke that Pension Disqualification act we could owe a billion dollars plus and there’s no government who will be able to do that.
The Prime Minister went on to say: “So that is something we are working through – we have a Pension Team working with the trade unions and other bodies to come up with the best formula so we can correct some of the injustices that that act caused a lot of people in the public service over the years.
“We have done some work in helping some of those persons but there is still a lot more work to be done but we have not given up on this but as you know Covid-19 has put a lot of things on the backburner for a little while because of the problem financially and others that we are all facing but that is something we are working on”.
When contacted for response to the Prime Minister’s statement, a leading union official indicated that Dr. Mitchell might be suffering from “a lapse in memory” as there is no discussions taking place between the two sides on the Pension issue as the matter is currently before a judge in the local high court.
“We have taken them to court so how he could say that,” said the union official who expressed alarm at the utterances of PM Mitchell.
He said the unions wrote to their lawyer earlier in the week to find out the status of the case since the last hearing was affected by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
He told THE NEW TODAY that after writing to the Supreme Court Registry, the lawyer was informed that the files are before the judge and that the office is awaiting a date for the next hearing of the matter.
According to the official, all three unions are pursuing the case against government – PWU, TAWU and GUT and the negotiations that were taking place have ended months ago.
He said the unions are no longer interested in any “negotiated pension” with the Mitchell administration as no headway was being made in the discussions.
He stated that the unions took a decision a long time ago not to go the route of negotiations with government to try and resolve the burning pension issue but to take the matter to court.
“We decide we’re not going government route again to ask them for nothing. We leave them alone and we come out of the Ministry of Labour and we go to the court because we were not getting any resolution with government”.
According to the top union executive, the utterances of PM Mitchell on the issue is just not true because no public officer will decide not to take the matter to court to get it resolved when they want their pension from government.
“The unions will not drop their case,” he said, adding, “I don’t know which union he agreed that with. As far as I know all three unions are pursuing the matter”.
The senior union official noted that associations representing Police and the Prisons officials are not party to the court action as they are not a union but are giving support to the three unions in the court battle against the Mitchell-led government.
“I don’t know where he’s getting his information from but he (is not speaking the truth)’, said the union official.
“What he has to say is that the unions (are) no longer pursuing the matter through government and have taken their matter to court – he doesn’t know what’s going on”.
The trade unionist recalled that just before Covid-19 brought Grenada to a standstill in March, there was a scheduled court hearing of the matter but it did not take place as the Mitchell government requested an adjournment due to the fact that its lead attorney in the matter, Douglas Mendes, SC from Trinidad could not get a flight into the country.

London's cycle superhighway plan hits problem
A crucial part of the Mayor of London's plan to improve cycle safety in the capital has hit a major problem.
The Royal Parks has refused to allow a segregated bike lane to be built in front of Buckingham Palace.
The junction is considered one of the city's most dangerous and leaves Transport for London having to consider an alternative route.
BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards spoke to the Mayor's cycling advisor, Andrew Gilligan, and Rosanna Downes from the London Cycling Campaign.

I can easily conceal my big Glock 21 on my belt under a heavy winter coat but I'm guessing you are more concerned about ready access with your coat all zipped up? That may be one situation where the shoulder holster may still be useful. Another possibility might be appendix or cross draw carry, although those can be problematic if you have much of an "overhang" in the front.

The Windows 8 release date is nearly here, and Microsoft has just sent out invitations to a press event that is likely to detail the operating system's new features. The company has been developing its new OS for quite some time, and now the upgraded software is finally ready for its official public unveiling.
You're invited to celebrate. Windows 8. Please save the date: Thursday, October 25 New York City, the invitation reads.
The vague invitation does not specify a time or location for the event beyond the fact that it will be held in New York City. It also does not explicitly say that it will usher in the official Windows 8 release, but that is heavily implied through the text on the invite.
This is the second press event that the company will host this fall. Microsoft held a joint keynote on Sept. 5 with Nokia to announce two new Windows Phone 8 handsets: the Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820. The former is a higher-end device with specs that outshine the iPhone 4S, while the Lumia 820 is a subdued, less expensive variation of that Windows Phone 8-enabled smartphone.
Apple also recently held its flagship fall press event where it unveiled the highly-anticipated iPhone 5. Like Microsoft, Apple is rumored to hold another keynote next month to make announcements that were suspiciously left out of its Sept. 5 event, such as an iPad Mini unveiling, the announcement of rumored 13-inch Retina Display MacBook Pros, and Mountain Lion OS X updates and bug fixes.
If this rumored event becomes a reality, the two rival companies will be taking a similar approach when it comes to announcing their next-generation hardware and software: one press event for a flagship smartphone reveal in early September and a separate one in October for software and tablet unveils.
In addition to upcoming Windows Phone 8 handsets, The Redmond, Wash.-based company is expected to release its Surface tablet this fall. No official price has been announced yet, but Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer recently alluded to a price range of between $300 and $700 as the sweet spot for high-end tablets when speaking to The Seattle Times.
The roll out of Windows 8 is more than just an update; it marks a new chapter for the tech giant, a chance that the company had to take in order to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving mobile culture. The operating system represents a rebranding and overhaul in the classic and clean interface that Windows users have come to know.
The mobile-centric update will feature a touch-screen interface with apps displayed in a tile format across the Home screen. This was formerly labeled as the Windows 8 Metro interface, but the name was recently scrapped and the new layout is simply referred to as the new Windows 8 UI. This is a transition that is already present across Microsoft products, such as the Xbox 360 interface while lays out apps and menu options in a similar manner.

Breaking Barriers: Osan celebrates Korean American Friendship Cultural Festival
By Tech. Sgt. Chad Thompson, 51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs
/ Published September 26, 2011
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea --
Americans and Koreans took time to break down some barriers and build their ever-growing friendship during the eighth annual Korean American Friendship Cultural Festival here Sept. 24 and 25.
The two-day event was held at the Songtan International Civic Center, just outside the Morin Gate, and the festival slogans were: "We go together" Gatchi Kapshida, and "Be a good neighbor" Choen Eeut Doepshida.
Food, fun and culture were among things people could enjoy at the festival. There were activities for children and several cultural demonstrations throughout the two days.
"Over the years our neighbors in Songtan have continuously extended warm Korea hospitality and we always try to reciprocate that kindness as ambassadors of the United States," said Col. Patrick McKenzie, 51st Fighter Wing Commander.
The events featured this year included American and Korean music performers, several martial arts demonstrations, cultural dances, food and entertainment booths.
"This weekend's events offer another opportunity for members of Team Osan, both new and old, to experience Korean generosity, share our culture with Korean friends and learn more about our host nation," the colonel said.

In all likelihood, today will be the hottest June day on record in Salt Lake City.
The Salt Lake City International Airport recorded a minimum temperature of 78ºF overnight, tying the all-time high minimum for the month.
On June 28 and 29, 2013, the Salt Lake City airport reported maximum temperatures of 105ºF, but the minima were 71ºF and 74ºF, yielding averages of 88ºF and 89.5ºF, respectively, lower than what I'm anticipating for today.
In addition, during that stretch of hot weather in late June 2013, the temperature sensor at the Salt Lake City airport was clearly reading high (see What's Up @ KSLC from August 20, 2013), so the books during that period are essentially cooked.
The bottom line is that you will experience the hottest June day ever in Salt Lake City today.
I say YOU because I have been happily ensconced in southeast Alaska since the Salt Lake heat wave began and haven't seen a temperature above 71ºF in over a week. Note the rain jackets and smiling faces.
Heading home soon and not looking forward to it...

Vermont slips past Mountain Hawks
Posted: September 15, 2003
Burlington, VT – Fueled by 26 points and 18 rebounds from senior Trevor Gaines, the Vermont Catamounts (3-3) downed Lehigh (0-6) by a score of 83-75 in front of a crowd of 1,445 at Patrick Gym on Sunday afternoon. Lehigh was led by junior Matt Logie’s 20 points.
The Mountain Hawks jumped out to a 5-2 lead early, before the Catamounts began to shoot the ball well. Each team shot over 50% in the first half (Lehigh 54%, Vermont 57%), and the Mountain Hawks began to have difficulty hanging on to the basketball. UVM took a 49-40 lead into the locker room at halftime.
The second half saw Lehigh continuing to battle hard, keeping the deficit in the 6-7 point neighborhood. In the end, though, Lehigh couldn’t get over the hump. Despite shooting the ball well (53% for the game), the Mountain Hawks were plagued by turnovers (21). The Catamounts shot only 38% in the second half, but were aided by 18 offensive boards on the afternoon. UVM out-rebounded Lehigh 44-31 overall.
"We didn’t do a good job of passing the basketball," head coach Sal Mentesana said following the loss. "We’re a good passing team; I don’t know what happened out there today."
Lehigh returns to action on Wednesday night as the Mountain Hawks wrap up a four-game road trip when they travel to State College to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Tip-off is set for 7:30 from the Bryce Jordan Center.

The excursion to Agrolida takes one of the first places among tourists in Greece. The trip is held along the picturesque seacoast of Saronic Gulf and is full of myths and interesting stories about the life of the ancient and modern Greeks.
The excursion is rather long and very informative, so it’s better to start early in the morning to visit all archaeological sites, which are open till 5 o’clock in winter time and 3 o’clock in summer time.
Corinth Canal – the first stop is at unique canal, connecting Aegean and Ionic seas.
Mycenae – firstly we will visit the treasury of Atreis or the tomb of King Agamemnon. It’s still a mystery who was really buried there, because the tomb was robbed in the ancient times.
Continuing on, the unique excursion over the ancient citadel of Europe with mystery tombs is awaited for you with deep immersion into 16-12 millennium B.C. Famous “Lion’s Gate” - a trademark of the entire archaeological site of Mecenae. You can also see the massive limestone boulders, roughly fitted together without use of mortar. How could people build these walls 3500 years before? Probably there were not people? Our professional guide will tell you these facts and many others. The view from the hill on the Argos plain, where one of the pre-historic Greek civilizations once flourished, is breathtaking and takes time away.
Nauplio and the fortress of Palamidi. Nauplio is a city, that Greeks consider the most beautiful city on their land, a medieval city surrounded by three fortresses, the first capital of Greece after the Independence war with the Ottoman Empire. We will take a look at this wonderful city from the height of the fortress bastion of Palamidi.
Epidaurus and Sanctuary of Asclepius. The theater in Epidaurus and the temple of the god of healing Asclepius are known widely outside Greece. Walking along this wonderful place with groves, paths between pine trees, one can recall one of the postulates of medicine - the doctor cures, nature heals. But you will also find out what other methods ancient doctors used to heal people and you will understand why the god Asclepius was worshiped longer than other pagan gods. The museum has preserved medical instruments, gifts from grateful patients and much more.
You will also have the opportunity to test amazing acoustics in one of the best preserved theaters, still used today.
Duration - 8-9 hours. The price is 150 Euro per group without the guide. 300 Euro per group with the guide.

Holmes' Oscar snubKatie Holmes has turned down the opportunity to win an Oscar.
The former 'Dawson's Creek' actress was allegedly asked if she would like her name included in the list of possible Oscar nominations for her most recent film 'Thank You for Smoking' but she said no.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Searchlight Pictures wanted to include Katie's name as a possible Oscar nominee on the screener of 'Thank You for Smoking' sent to Academy members. But Katie's people respectfully declined the offer."
The film had already caused contention between Katie and her fiancÃ© Tom Cruise because of the nude scenes she shot for the movie. The scenes were cut at the film's premiere at the Sundance Festival, which Tom attended.
However, they were included in the version shown at last year's Toronto Film Festival.
In the film, Katie plays an investigative reporter who ends up in bed with tobacco lobbyist Aaron Eckhart.
Director Jason Reitman said: "It's humorous humping! It's Kate and Aaron gyrating back and forth."
Katie, 27, is set to marry Tom on November 18 in Italy. The couple have a six-month-old daughter, Suri, together.
The 'Batman Begins' actress is said to be keen to return to work and has visited several film studios recently, accompanied by Tom, to look at scripts.

20. Our love
"Tomorrow we are invited to their club." Niall said cheerfully when we finally left the house. I saw at him that he loved the life that the rich lived.
"But we wont go."
Niall was startled and looked at me.
"Well, of course we'll go?"
I took his hand and shook my head.
"Niall, we don't belong there and you lie about everything to them. Isn't it wrong to lie?"
He snorted lightly.
"They lie all the time. You would hear how they boasted and one was worse against the other."
"But they're like that, we are poor and we don't even know ..." I looked at him. "Please, we drop this life that they live."
Niall sighed, and he didn't answer. I understood that he was disappointed that I wasn't as hungry as he was, to deceive others.
We arrived at the hotel room and I chose to take my clothes off. I showered and then I came back to the bed. Niall smiled and he took his arms around my body.
"Okay, we're not going there."
I smiled and kissed him quickly.
He pulled me towards the bed and he landed on top of me. He giggled and smiled awry.
"I bought condoms today."
Niall kissed me and I felt how he pulled up her nightgown. I instantly became uncertain.
Niall smiled and shook his head.
"I love you, I want you and you know that I love to touch you."
Niall pulled off my nightgown and he let the kiss wander down over my breasts. He let his hand caress me between my legs and he pulled my panties off. I felt that he would get what he wanted and I didn't mind. Niall knew what he would do and I loved every movement he made. He stripped off his clothes and he took out a condom. I saw how he took it over his boner and he smiled at me.
"We can do it all baby."
Niall lay on top of me and penetrated. I groaned and looked straight into his eyes. Niall smiled with his whole face, and he penetrated all the way.
"Damn, you're so tight."
I swallowed and took my legs around his waist. Niall slowly started to move on the hip and our breathing became deeper. I felt how he filled me and he let me not go with his eyes. He put his elbows on either side of my head and he stared straight into my eyes.
"You are mine!" he whispered hoarsely. "I promise to obey you."
I smiled and kissed him. He let his face be over mine and I felt his tongue slide in between my lips. He moved faster and I took my arms around his back. Niall bounced at me and I felt how he filled me with emotion.
Right as it was, he lifted me up. He moved us to the wall and he pushed me up against the cold wall. His hands landed under my butt and he pushed himself hard into me. When he started to move on the hip pounded me into the wall. I heard every movement and I became more excited. I took my arms around his shoulders and I continued to kiss him. Niall groaned loudly and he flexed every muscle in the body. He whimpered and he sounded all the time. It was as if he enjoyed it to the fully and no one could stop him. I pressed me harder against the wall and he was breathing faster. Finally he released me and made sure I got on all fours in front of him. He stood behind me and penetrated. He made me move my body back and forth. Niall groaned louder and I felt his hands caressed me over the buttocks and up over the back. One hand slid around my waist and I felt the tip of some fingers reached my clit. He began to caress me and it was enough. I pushed up my ass against him and let his face drop towards the floor. I whimpered and I felt how he made me shake. I screamed when I come and I was shaking all over. Niall continued and I heard that he was near the end too. He bounced into me and finally he came. He pressed me against my butt and I felt his hands held me tight.
"You're the best damn girl in the world!"
I smiled and slipped away from him. I sat on the floor and looked at him. Niall blushed and removed the condom. He then looked at me.
"You are amazing and you don't know it."
Now I blushed and I just smiled at him. He threw the condom up on a table and crawled over to me. He kissed me softly and then he smiled.
"I want to be with you forever."
"Okay!" I whispered and stroked his cheek with my hand. "If you want to put up with me?"
"It's a miracle that you want me."
I shook my head.
"No, you're the best thing that has happened to me."
He grinned and kissed me again. He laid me down on the floor and he ended up on top of me. We lay there just kissed each other and hugged. It was as if we were satisfied me everything, only we would be together.


Trying to do the Audition tutorials, specifically the noise reduction one.
So it says to use Spectral Frequency Display, and points to the button to do so. But when I click the button nothing happens.
So then I thought, ok...... I am just trying to reduce noise on a recording, so next step is "Open the Noise Reduction effect" but when I do so, Effects > Noise Reduction / Restoration > all the top options, such as "Noise Reduction (process)" are greyed out.
What is going on?
Copy link to clipboard
I'd guess that you are trying to do this in Multitrack view, where it's not designed to work. NR as a process effect works on files, and you don't get to work on files in Multitrack view - it's essentially non-destructive, and NR is a file-destructive process - so you can only use it on individual files in Waveform view.
It may look like a file when it's displayed in Multitrack, but don't let that decieve you - that's just a placeholder. Multitrack view is nothing more than a glorified file player, and clips in it are nothing more than an instruction to play that bit of a file.
Yes, you got that right. Thank you
(Tutorial should mention this, but oh well...... they are pretty poorly done, I've watched a few more)
Yes, there certainly are a few 'errors of omission' in the tutorials...


NPA Coun. Colleen Hardwick is launching a 50-neighbourhood, year-long tour of the city this month, beginning in Marpole, to collect feedback about where residents think density should be located. The boundaries of the 50 neighbourhoods were defined through an exercise she did with UBC geography students in 2015. Hardwick’s endeavour coincides with the beginning of the city-wide plan, known as the Vancouver Plan, which launched with a “listening phase” in November. Last July, Hardwick was the only councillor to vote against every clause in a motion dealing with the city-wide plan's budget and process.
The Courier talked to Hardwick about her tour, what she wants to accomplish, whether it’s a rebuke of how she thinks the city-wide plan is being handled, and how her council colleagues and staff at city hall are greeting it. Hardwick says she plans to share her findings with the planning department and the public.
What is the point of your tour of city neighbourhoods and what motivated it?
I've been working towards rebooting the city-wide planning process for years. I advocated for the motion, which I seconded [and] which Adriane Carr put forward. Then I watched as the motion was amended to the current state that staff are now acting on. I've been quite vocal in my concern about the direction that the new reboot of the city-wide plan is taking. It’s certainly different than what I had been working towards over these years. I'm very familiar with the prior City Plan that was developed through the ’90s and the community visions that were approved by council in 2005. There has been a real distance between neighbourhood planning and a broader, what I consider top-down deterministic, approach to planning, which, if you look at the way that the city currently is approaching it, [is] values-driven. They're working from a values-down [approach] and looking at the city in the aggregate. I tend to look at things through the lens of community and neighbourhood planning, and then bringing that upwards to the fullness of the city.
This sounds like it's a commentary on, or a rebuke of, how you think the city-wide plan is being handled.
I don't want to rebuke them. I want to work with them. When we did the [city-wide plan] launch, we went out to various different places. I went with staff to a place on 41st Avenue to meet with people from Arbutus Ridge, Kerrisdale and Shaughnessy — that's what got picked out for me. We had a really productive roundtable session where some of the folks brought out the fact that they had this council-approved ARKS [Arbutus Ridge, Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy] community vision from 2005. That's when it struck me — I said this is something that we should be doing in every single neighbourhood of the city. I had given the 50-neighbourhoods exercise, which was a UBC geography project that I did, to [chief planner] Gil Kelley and the planning department. I had been talking to the people in citizen engagement and then it just struck me — if I'm going to talk the talk, I better walk the walk. I thought what better way for me to do that than to go out there and be interfacing with people across the city.
What do city staff and your fellow city councillors think about your tour?
I've talked to a few people. I certainly talked to [the city] citizen engagement [team]. I've certainly talked with the planning department. I'm expecting to have cooperation for getting help with things like maps, but I'm not really asking them to do much. It's really something that I want to do and then I will share everything transparently that comes out of these sessions in the hopes that it will help incentivize people to get more involved in their neighbourhood.
Has anybody been critical of the tour in terms of your fellow councillors or city staff?
How is it different than what the city will already be doing for the city-wide plan?
If you look at what they're doing, it's very stakeholder oriented… what I've been seeing is not neighbourhood-location based, it's stakeholder based. What are the principles under which we're doing this? It’s values driven… in terms of looking at our focus on diversity and social issues, accelerating action on climate change, addressing affordability and housing, protecting and building our economy. These are all looking at things through the lens of what are the values that we are going to apply on the city, and we're going to interact with stakeholder groups that are involved in each of these areas. My concern has been that there's not been enough emphasis put on the people of the city… I am generally concerned that we talk about the public in the abstract. When we get into dealing with them in the particular, we see them as NIMBYs or as obstacles to change or however it's being characterized. I don't think that's constructive. I would rather go out to the neighbourhoods and say, “Hey, the city has to grow. We need to increase density. Where could your neighbourhood accommodate 500 to 1,000 new dwelling units over the next decade?” I can tell you that from the conversations that I have been having in the community over the first year of my term, that there is an alienation, that there is a strong sense the consultations that have been undertaken have been more about manufacturing consent or really trying to market to people...
One of the criticisms of neighbourhood open houses is that they attract the people who are living in a neighbourhood. In terms of consultation, sometimes you don't just want to talk to people who are living in a neighbourhood, but people who might want to live in the neighbourhood in the future.
I don't represent people that might want to live in the neighbourhood. Our job under the [Vancouver] Charter and democratic theory is to represent our constituents, which are the people that live within our boundaries. I have to believe that the people that are living within our boundaries are thinking about their children and their children's children, and they're not close-minded to more people coming in. This is why the exercise, though, needs to ask the people that live there where they think population increase can be best accommodated… It comes back to the notion of the livable city. What are we doing to build complete neighbourhoods that are evolving over time? I've watched the neighbourhoods of the city evolve over my lifetime. We need to look at how do we develop the neighbourhood, how do we anticipate density in such a way that is going to be ground oriented. I'm a big supporter of the missing middle and gentle density as principles in the way that we develop complete neighbourhoods that have multiple different building forms contained within those neighbourhoods — [that] are supported with sustainable mobility and transit, that have an economic component, whether it's retail stores at grade or co-working space, [that preserve] our green spaces.
Will you be talking about issues such as height?
I’m a planner. I’m interested in all different building forms. I used to sit on the board of the Urbanarium where we examined both spectrums… again, there's no one-size-fits-all model. All of the neighbourhoods of the city have developed in their own unique ways. The successful communities are ones that acknowledge and embrace their past while at the same time [are] looking to the future to determine how they're going to enable increased density as things go forward.
How will you reach people who are younger, who may not be members of formal community organizations or who represent diverse demographics?
I went through an exercise of identifying all different types of groups within different neighbourhoods. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. It's important to have a broad spectrum of voices. But I want to ensure that they are people that actually live in the area. One of the concerns that I continue to voice is that [I] need to ensure, as someone that's elected to represent Vancouverites, that I'm hearing from Vancouverites.
Since you've been elected, you have been at odds with your fellow NPA councillors and most of the rest of council on a lot of development votes, and even the city-wide plan vote. How much influence do you think your efforts will have?
I'm the only planner on council — I have both historical perspective, academic and professional relevance to the subject area… I'm concerned a lot of the time that there isn’t enough knowledge. When I was pushing for the city wide plan reboot, I don't think that probably half of council even knew about the prior city plans or any of the history in this. So there's a certain amount of frustration for me, to be honest, because I feel that I haven't been able to get through to people about my concerns. I'm going to continue to try and do so because my commitment is, and remains, to try and do what I think is right to get the city into better balance.
You have been criticized for representing the views of older, well-established West Side homeowners who perhaps aren't keen on density or high buildings. How do you feel about that criticism?
I think it's bogus. I think it's the narrative of the people that are promoting the property development industry. It is about growth promotion as opposed to growth management. I differentiate between the two. That's a convenient label and it's just not true. I'm not going to get into the nonsense that goes on Twitter, in particular. It's very counterproductive. I'm not going to go and engage in those discussions. It does annoy me a little bit. It does annoy me being misrepresented.
Note: This interview has been edited and condensed.

Leisa Duckwall, who was born deaf, works in the cafeteria at Nansemond Parkway Elementary School in Suffolk, Virginia, where she would point to food options for pupils to nod ‘yes’ or ‘no’. But Fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Maskelony, who knows American Sign Language because she has a family member who is hard of hearing, taught her class how to order their food using ASL. At the beginning of the school year, in September 2022, her class headed into the cafeteria and ordered their lunches, using ASL for the likes of fish and varieties of pizza. The school later shared the wholesome video on their social media, and Principal Janet Wright-Davis said revealed other classes were also being taught ASL as well.

SOUTH AFRICA TO ACCELERATE PROVISION OF WATER, SANITATION SERVICES
South Africa has committed itself to fast-track the provision of water and sanitation services, particularly for those from previously disadvantaged communities, says Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Jeff Radebe.
Briefing the media here Thursday on the outcomes of Thursday regular Cabinet meeting, he said 25,091 bucket toilets had been eradicated to date and 27,147 more needed to be completed.
“The Bucket Eradication Programme is aimed at addressing the legacy of bucket toilets as a form of sanitation system in four provinces, namely the Eastern Cape, Free State, North West and the Northern Cape,” he said.
The Department of Water and Sanitation is on a sanitation campaign, which will culminate on World Toilet Day on Nov 19 2016. World Toilet Day is used to create awareness to educate and apply efforts to ensure that everyone has access to decent sanitation services.
The theme for World Toilet Day 2016 is “Toilets and Jobs”, focusing on how sanitation or the lack thereof can impact people’s livelihoods.
Meanwhile, on 14 November 2016, Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane unveiled the Drakenstein Waste Water Treatment Plant and handed it over to the Drakenstein Municipality in Western Cape Province.
Radebe said the provision of a basic water service to the community contributed to the improvement of the quality of water in the Berg River and alleviates the negative impact of poor quality irrigation water.

"To get good at anything, take the difficult and make it habit. Take the habit and make it beautiful."
First and foremost, I require an escort. This will be someone close to me that I trust, but NOT someone I'm involved with.
I require a face to face meet with any photographer prior to a shoot. If you can't hold a conversation with someone, you definitely can't hold a pose for them.
That being said:
Modeling is something I have been planning on for quite a while. When I first started, I considered modeling more of a hobby, but I am now going on 10 years and absolutely love it. I have also recently discovered a knack for directing, and have been working with a couple local photographers to gain more experience in that area. During a shoot, I take it very seriously and am willing to put myself through hell if it means getting a good shot.
I plan to post more photos covering multiple genres. Everything from era themed, some rockabilly/pinup style, glamour shots, special effects, etc. I am definitely open to more risque shots, fetish, etc. but NO NUDITY. The no nudity rule includes implied nudity.
I do have plenty of tattoos, that can be covered if need be, however any shots showing more skin will probably have a tattoo in them.
I play well with others. So please, if you have an idea that you think I could help with, throw it out there let's see what we can make happen.

You may lead a very eco-friendly life at home, perhaps composting, recycling, and monitoring your carbon footprint, but what about when you’re on vacation? These seven green travel tips will ensure that you enjoy your vacation while helping to care for the environment at the same time. Eco-friendly travel is easy and makes for a more fulfilling vacation. Check out our tips below!
1. Invest in an eco-friendly, re-useable water bottle.
Normal plastic water bottles are incredibly wasteful, especially if you use them every day on vacation and only use them once. A reusable aluminum water bottle, glass water bottle, or a safe (BPA-free), thick plastic water bottle is durable, hygienic, and perfect for traveling. If you need to drink bottled water in a location where the tap water is unsafe or undrinkable, buy a five-liter bottle of water to keep in your hotel room, and then decant it every day into your re-usable water bottle. Buy water in glass bottles whenever possible when at restaurants, and be sure to recycle any plastic bottles should you end up using them.
2. Re-use towels and sheets in hotels.
Many hotels have a policy to reduce water waste. For example, if you hang up your towel after use, it means that you would like to re-use it, but leaving your towel on the floor means it should be changed. If not the policies aren’t already in place, simply ask the housekeeping staff to change your linens every three days, if possible, and hang towels up to dry for re-use. You can also hang the “do not disturb” sign on your door to prevent housekeeping from changing your linens every day. Reduce the amount of water and energy used to launder clothes by hand-washing small items, such as underwear and socks, at your hotel with a biodegradable hand-washing powder. Let your hand-washed items air-dry, and only launder large items, letting clothes air-dry whenever possible.
3. Use eco-friendly toiletries.
This is an essential eco-friendly travel tip, especially if you are going camping or spending time snorkeling in the ocean near coral reefs. Sunscreen and certain body lotions or body washes leave toxic residue in the water—toxins that can damage delicate corals. Choose biodegradable toiletries and reef-friendly sunscreen to reduce the amount of toxins entering fragile ecosystems. The same goes for camping: choose biodegradable soaps and face products to avoid contaminating water with toxins. While you’re at it, try to limit water usage in shower blocks, and choose biodegradable insect repellant to stop insects from bugging you the natural way.
4. Choose fuel-friendly flights.
Unfortunately, air travel is not great for the environment, but luckily there are ways to lessen the burden on the environment when you fly. Choose fuel-efficient aircrafts to get to and from your destination, such as the Boeing 777, the Airbus 345, or the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which is said to require 27% less fuel than other aircrafts its size, making it the best option by far. You can go one step further by boycotting airlines that waste fuel by transporting laboratory animals for cosmetic and other unnecessary testing. Do your research before booking to make sure your choice is ethical and promotes eco-friendly travel.
5. Boycott and discourage the use of exotic animals as tourist attractions.
Many foreign animal parks offer “unique personal experiences” with exotic animals such as tigers, elephants, or lions, but the grim truth is that this side of the tourist industry often exploits the animals for financial gain. Cute lion cubs are petted until they are too big to be safe around the public, and then they end up at canned hunting lodges; tigers are often drugged so that tourists can pet them and take photos with them; and the wild animal trade is still a major problem in many countries. Boycott these tourist traps that do nothing to respect Mother Nature’s delicate balance, share the information with friends and family, and let locals know that you are not interested in the hope that a lack of demand will weaken the industry. Likewise, do not feed or interfere with wild animals at your destination, and avoid buying curios that are made from endangered animal products like ivory, tortoise shells, or feathers.
6. Be mindful when choosing a rental car.
This is one of our best green travel tips: choose as small a rental car as you can, and opt for hybrid or fuel-economic vehicles whenever possible. Larger cars are usually not economical on fuel, which generates excessive carbon emissions. The best part is that sustainable, eco-friendly travel
uses less fuel will result in you having more money to spend in other areas of your travel budget!
7. Eat local!
Support local businesses and sustainability at the same time by eating local produce when you’re on vacation. You will discover the region’s authentic cuisine and culture, and you’ll be contributing directly to the vendor’s wellbeing without being caught by tourist traps and large corporations. If you’re like to prepare your own meals, shop for ingredients at local farmers’ markets and supermarkets that stock local produce. Consulting a high-quality travel guide
can help you find the best local eats.
Planning your very own eco-friendly vacation
Protecting the environment we all live in is an important responsibility to heed, especially as a traveler enjoying all the benefits of the natural world around us. Take careful considerations when planning your next trip abroad and trust Auto Europe to help you find your way with whatever you may need, from one way car rentals
to airfare and hotels. Your next eco-friendly adventure awaits!

Ouchy is a commune, port, and popular lakeside resort located south of the city of Lausanne in Switzerland at the edge of the Lake Léman (Lake Geneva).
Very popular with tourists for the views of nearby France (Évian-les-Bains, Thonon), Ouchy is also a favorite area for rollerskating (Lausanne is considered a capital) and for skateboarding. The incredible views of the lake and the Alps, and the cooler air in summer have made Ouchy a popular place especially in the summer months. There is a major cluster of hotels and restaurants around the port.
Once a fishing Village, Ouchy was incorporated into the City of Lausanne in the mid-19th century to serve as a port on Lake Léman.
On October 18, 1912, the First Treaty of Lausanne was signed in Ouchy between Italy and the Ottoman Empire, concluding the Italo-Turkish War.

Tori Amos's planned musical The Light Princess has reportedly been shelved.
The singer-songwriter's adaptation of George MacDonald's story was due to open at the Lyttleton Theatre in April, but has had its world premiere postponed indefinitely, The Guardian reports.
The National Theatre has reportedly denied that the project has been cancelled entirely and a spokeswoman told the newspaper: "Development is continuing on The Light Princess and we'll announce a new date for the production in due course."
Amos's long in-production project had already been announced by the National Theatre for its spring 2012 season and would have been helmed by War Horse co-director Marianne Elliot.
It is claimed that the musical has been delayed over fears that it will not be ready in time for the planned premiere. Development workshops had already been held and unannounced castmembers were reportedly told about the delay this week.
Talking to Digital Spy last month, Amos said: "I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical. I've been working on the musical now it seems like for 5,000 years and that has informed my work.
"I've been studying narrative now for over five years by doing the musical. I don't think I could have done [current album Night of Hunters] had I not been having on-the-chop training with the musical crowd."

Maura Keller reports for American Cattlemen showing how having access to high-quality feed ingredients is vital to the success of any cattle business.
According to HydroGreen President John de Jonge, “Sprouted grain from HydroGreen equipment should really be thought of as a digestible energy ingredient, not a forage.” The early value proposition for HydroGreen was all about consistent access to quality feed on the ranch or farm, and now the value is centered on the significant improvement in feed efficiency, rumen function and animal productivity created by adding HydroGreen’s sprouted-grain feed to the ration. “Our research indicates that when a producer incorporates sprouted grains into the ration, digestion of efficiency improves,” says de Jonge. “Bringing energy to a rumen in a forage form is much less stressful than using corn, and when incorporated at key stages, such as calf development, HydroGreen sprouted grains positively impact rumen function which in turn lowers digestive stress, can result in a thriftier calf and increase productivity of the animal for the long term.”
Because of the company’s patented equipment and proprietary research, HydroGreen has set itself apart within the sprouted-grain production industry. While HydroGreen sprouted grain is what’s sometimes called fodder, not all fodder is created equal. That’s because fodder production models that prioritize growing forage are solving for the early value proposition that motivated Dihl Grohs to build the first versions of HydroGreen’s equipment. Whereas with the HydroGreen solution today, the priority is the production of a consistent nutrient package that can lead to enhanced profitability.
So how does sprouted grain from HydroGreen equipment accomplish such strong animal productivity outcomes? Quite simply, the HydroGreen crop replaces a portion of the ration with a high-glucose, readily fermentable energy source, which promotes efficient fermentation, rumen balance, consistent eating patterns and other notable performance outcomes. “it’s about the optimization of living processes, from sprouted-grain feed production to rumination, “de Jonge explains.

Fate and Duty
One day fate and duty had a talk none of them wanted to stop. Fate said : I am the most powerful you alone can’t make a human life happy. You have no words to say. Let us stop this discussion here. I am powerful than you, dear! Oh! Wait, my friend, duty added. Let me say something now it’s my turn to express my feelings, I am the essence of the human life, which makes him healthy, wealthy, and wise. Man who has trust in his duty, never waits for fate. But said fate, humans have to bow their heads before me early or late. No one can go against my consideration- man has to accept it without any hesitation. Who has good fate gets success in every work. Not only this but also on auspicious days, they say Good Luck.
Duty said, you are nothing but an unknown tomorrow. And I am today who beautifies the future , having no sorrow. Man who works today can change his fate. He will get success whether you love or hate you make hard working men idle, because his luck solves his money riddle. At last, their debate came to stop. The conclusion putting Today at the top. Today intruded in mid of their discussion- To make a good way his future and the past is alas! past. So, there is only Today in your hand, at last. God gives every man two qualities i.e. fate and duty, but he has full command only upon his duty, then duty was considered the winner of the discussion. Fate has a little bit of hand in the success of man. But depend upon your duty as early as you can.
Indian Women – Where Are We!
The creation of a woman was the crowning, final and the most glorious moment of human creation.
In our country people worship Goddess Durga even the rivers are given the name of a female like Yamuna, Ganga, Kaveri, Saraswati, etc. But, at the same time, I would like ask everyone, if we really respect the females of our society???
No, will be the answer from half of the people. Even now female infanticide of killing of the girl child is being practised in our society. Till date females are victims of domestic violence. They are being tortured for dowry, which is a crime. No one is raising a voice against this. Why?
Why are girls becoming a prey?
Our country is a democratic one. Everyone is free to do whatever they want to do but still women are caged and restricted.
Everyday on the first page of a newspaper we come across the headlines that a newly born girl child is thrown in dustbins here and there.
Even today, people think that girls are a burden and are meant to do only household work. But, nowadays, girls are equal to boys. Girls can do each and everything that a boy can.
The one who put the girl child into the dustbin cannot understand that he/she has come into this world because of a female.
Citizens of country should remember this fact that without girls everything is incomplete. A women is the only person in this whole universe who can become a Mother, who can give birth to a child. God has given this gift to a woman only.
A woman has power and strength in herself. God has made woman elegant, beautiful, responsible and creative who has many duties to perform.
Girls in today’s world have topped in all the fields, be it academics, sports or cultural in all parts of the world. But, girls are being exploited everywhere in every corner of India.
Today, a girl cannot even walk alone on the road at night after work. Why?? In every newspaper, the headlines say that girls are raped, murdered, etc. We say our country is independent where everyone is free to do anything, but girls have not got independence from torture, from domestic violence…
There are some females who tolerate this violence and ill treatment.
They do not have the courage to come forward and speak for their rights. I would advise them to come forward and take the steps against such activities.
Nowdays, we have NGOs and women welfare centres who work for the welfare of women in society. There are many schools, colleges and universities which have been opened for girls (exclusively for women) to help in the uplift of girls in our society.
Why are they underestimated???
These questions remain as questions. There are no answers for these questions.
The reality is that no one respects females in our society and they don’t know the real worth of females.
At last, but not the least, please say No to female foeticide that every child is a gift of God.
So long as women are in chains the people are not free.
Hence, I want to sign off by saying that let them breathe, give them their freedom. Girls, we can achieve more than everyone else.
Be bold and say proudly-
I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.
