PHILADELPHIA — Eli Manning doesn't have anything left to prove to a majority of Giants fans.
That much was absolutely clear in November when the fan base revolted against John Mara's, Ben McAdoo's and Jerry Reese's collaborative plan to phase out Manning and take a look at other quarterbacks.
That's what two Super Bowl MVP awards and championships will do for a face-of-the-franchise QB.
But in 2018, in Manning's 15th NFL season at 37 years old, he is about to enter a season for the first time knowing full well that he either must win or someone else will take his place.
He must prove, in other words, that he can still win — if not to the fans, then certainly to the Giants and to himself.
For while new GM Dave Gettleman told Manning in a recent meeting, per ESPN, that he wants him back as the team's starter, he also told him the team plans to scout potential first-round QB draft picks and continue to develop Davis Webb.
Manning reportedly acquiesced to that arrangement because he is confident in his own ability to win with an improved offensive line and running game and a healthy Odell Beckham Jr.
Manning knows that if the Giants immediately turn around from their 3-13 disaster of 2017 to make the playoffs in 2018, Manning will remain the quarterback throughout the season and perhaps even make an argument that he can do it again in 2019, the final year of his contract.
But if Manning's first season under new coach Pat Shurmur goes south quickly, and Webb or a first-round pick like UCLA QB Josh Rosen is deemed ready, Manning would find himself on the bench again — this time for good.
Now, granted, ever since Mara hired Gettleman and the GM endorsed Manning and Mara said he expected to win in 2018, keeping Manning always made the most sense as a short-term plan. He has a better chance of winning games next season than Webb, who hasn't yet played an NFL snap, or a rookie.
However, just because Manning is the Giants' best short-term option doesn't mean that he'll be good enough.
In next year's NFC East, bringing back Manning arguably gives the Giants at best the third-best quarterback/offensive situation in the division.
Philadelphia's Carson Wentz, one of the budding stars in the entire NFL, will be healthy with a formidable offensive line and running game at his disposal. And the Cowboys' Dak Prescott, who badly missed Ezekiel Elliott during his six-game suspension for domestic violence in 2017, should have his top runner back to punish defenses.
Washington's situation is unenviable and in flux: they either have to tag Kirk Cousins a third time for an absurd amount of money or find another solution in free agency or the draft.
But Gettleman has to deliver on his promise to improve the offensive line, and Manning has to deliver on his vow to himself that he can muster more mojo than he was able to in 2017 to let the Giants compete. Otherwise, there truly will be no reason not to move on from Manning with an eye on the future.
The Giants presumably would handle Manning's next exit more tactfully and gracefully than this past season's public relations nightmare, when they ended Manning's ironman consecutive games streak at 210 (second all-time) to start Geno Smith in Oakland on Dec. 3, only for Mara to abandon the plan, fire McAdoo and Reese on Dec. 4, reinsert Manning and never play Webb as planned.
Manning means too much to this franchise to be treated the way he was this season. He could have accepted the initially proposed plan to play the first half and watch Smith play the second in Oakland, but he deserved better than what he got nonetheless.
Mara was extremely sensitive to his fan base's fury and now he, Gettleman and Shurmur are trying to rebuild the Giants to respectability with Manning at the helm. That could be a feel-good story for the franchise. But Manning also must know, now that he is signing up for 2018 and all it entails, that the pressure for him to perform in a Week 1 regular season start and beyond never has been so great.
Maybe, if he pretends it's the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl, he'll be OK.

Research and Development is a process in music that long seems forgotten. In our era of Internet millennial artists running music streams but can’t sell. It feels like almost all major companies and even independent ones are out of touch of with what the people want to BUY. Why is that? Why do we see a decline in sales so drastically but yet artists like Adele, and Beyoncé can sell consistently and retain a strong following over the years.
They still research and develop themselves. They go out and see what their fans want to own and they cater to it. A part of music’s lure is escapism. Michael Jackson talked very in depth about creating an experience for the listener. So what exactly is research and development for those of us not versed in business? It is testing your product before you make a major investment in distribution, marketing and promotion. Get it out of your head that you make music for everyone. Get it out of your head that you are good enough to commercially mix and master your own tracks. You have to test your product with a specific demographic, geographic and psychographic target to have accurate chances of success. That is why these artists succeed. And others fail.
Michael Jackson from Speed Demon video.
So what I am calling you to do? I want you all to take feedback more seriously. Not from someone who is a man and your making a love ballet about a woman from Chicago. But match your target with your music’s subject. Make an educated assumption of who will respond to what you are offering. Test it before you run off and make a whole album. And if you receive poor reviews from your target, then it is time to step out of your ego and revamp your music‘s overall look, feel, mood and quality. Even if blogs, critics and press hate your music but the people buy it. Move forward because critics don’t buy your records anyway. People do. Only If the target doesn’t like it, then you know that song or project is not what you need to invest in. No matter how much you think one day after ten years of pushing the same sound it is going to magically be profitable. BUT, music is also about timing so….. In paradox to what I just said. Sometimes the market is sincerely not ready for a certain sound or style.
This is a game of doing a little bit more homework than just your opinion of what YOU think sounds good. We make music for people. Not ourselves. You have to give the people what they want or this will forever stay a hobby. I am Shadow The ArchAngel thank you for reading, keep fighting.

Wisconsin high school students can help establish habitat for imperiled insect pollinators and monarch caterpillars. High school agriculture and science educators are encouraged to apply for $1,000 grants to raise and transplant native wildflowers in rural areas.
Katie Ziemer has joined Sand County Foundation as a soil conservationist in southeast Wisconsin. Ziemer, who begins her duties December 21, will assist farmers with writing and implementing conservation plans to achieve water quality and soil health improvements.
High school agriculture and science educators in 20 Minnesota counties are encouraged to apply for $1,000 grants to raise and transplant native wildflowers in rural areas. Insect pollinators and monarch caterpillars are essential for crop pollination and ecological diversity.

How Can We Scale Up Conservation on Private Lands Faster and at Lower Cost?
Sand County Foundation hosted 30 farmers, ranchers, leaders of environmental groups, policymakers, researchers and investors and asked them that single, urgent question.
We shared their answers with leaders of State Departments of Agriculture from across the United States. They outlined the next big potential opportunities for conservation on private working land to deliver prosperity to agriculture, and improve soil, water and wildlife habitat. Read their recommendations.
California has 129 million dead trees that fuel wildfires and 2 million homes are in areas at high-risk for wildfires. Across the western U.S., about 58 million acres are at high risk of catastrophic wildfire. It’s a problem that begs for a solution.
What if we could pay for enough forest management today to escape the cost of the next catastrophic wildfires?
In July, the federal government proposed comprehensive changes to the Endangered Species Act. To promote a constructive dialogue about the proposals and the future of the Act, the Environmental Policy Innovation Center released its analysis of the proposals in a report and online chart.
Students at Oconomowoc High School are part of a national effort to establish pollinator habitat. Oconomowoc was one of 16 Wisconsin and Minnesota school districts that utilized grants to grow native prairie plants that sustain imperiled insect pollinators and monarch caterpillars. The grants are provided by Sand County Foundation and the Monarch Joint Venture, with additional support in Wisconsin from the We Energies Foundation.
Prairies of the past could be a modern conservation tool for farmers.
Native prairie plants can act as a sponge and slow soil runoff from rain. Research from Iowa State University shows planting dense, diverse and deep-rooted prairie strips next to corn and soybean fields has environmental benefits.
Sand County Foundation is working with six farmers to demonstrate how prairie strips work on farms of varying soil types, typographies and management styles.
Trunnell Family Farm of Utica has been selected as the recipient of the 2018 Kentucky Leopold Conservation Award®. Achieving soil health through the use of no-till farming and cover crops is nothing new to Edward (Myrel) Trunnell, who began farming more than six decades ago. Conservation is synonymous with his idea of farming.
Minnesota high schools are a part of a national effort to establish habitat for imperiled insect pollinators and monarch caterpillars. Essential for crop pollination and ecological diversity, they are at risk partly due to loss of farmland habitat. In response, Sand County Foundation partnered with the St. Paul-based Monarch Joint Venture to establish a pollinator habitat grant program for high schools. The program supplies seed and other growing materials to high school agricultural and science departments.
Something special took root on a grassy strip between a wheat field and stream during National Pollinator Week. A small group of FFA members and leaders brought trays of pollinator-friendly plants to a local farmer. Together they dug holes for native prairie plants that will sustain imperiled insect pollinators and monarch caterpillars.
Farmers and ranchers are critical to a national effort to provide habitat for monarch butterflies and insect pollinators.
“There is room on every farm and ranch to encourage habitat for monarchs and pollinators,” said Craig Ficenec, a program director for Sand County Foundation.
Essential for crop pollination and ecological diversity, pollinators and monarchs are at risk partly due to loss of farmland habitat. Monarch butterfly numbers have dropped by 80 percent over the past 20 years. Monarch caterpillars face a shortage of their sole food source: native milkweed.
Beatty Canyon Ranch shines at doing right by the land, water, livestock and wildlife amid the grandeur of southeastern Colorado’s canyon landscape. Its owners were presented with a $10,000 award, and a crystal depicting Aldo Leopold, at the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association annual convention in Loveland on Monday, June 18.
Bringing a rare bird species back from the brink makes a great comeback story. But the story of the Kirtland’s warbler is far from over, according to the Sand County Foundation.

Are you a “stuff-aholic”? Many people collect stuff. Some even pay for storage units to house their extra stuff. Answer this honestly…when you walk into your home, is there a sense of overwhelm and frustration as you see piles of clutter from papers, magazines, clothes, gadgets and dishes?
Don’t feel badly if this describes you. Some of the world’s nicest people attract clutter, and there is some rationale behind it. You may think you’ll need it later or perhaps you spent serious money on it, so you feel obliged to keep it. Maybe it has sentimental value. Some clutter bugs will delay downsizing to a smaller home so they don’t have to deal with their stuff. Others won’t have friends over because they are embarrassed about their clutter.
Why should you declutter? Clutter robs you of energy and cuts into your productivity. How much time do you spend looking for items that aren’t where they‘re supposed to be? The stress of a cluttered life means you may work longer hours, miss deadlines and misplace important documents. A Princeton University study found that physical clutter in your surroundings competes for your attention and can have a negative impact on your ability to focus, process information, make decisions and think creatively.
First, realize that you may resist decluttering. If you’ve ever seen the TV show Hoarders, you’ve watched people resist parting with their stuff. You may feel the same way as you tackle the project.
Set a SMART goal for your decluttering. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Result-oriented, Time-bound. Last year, my SMART goal was to declutter and organize my garage by December 31. I took a whole year – and I achieved it.
Start small. Tackle one drawer or shelf at a time. Do not empty all your drawers simultaneously, but one at a time. Do not progress to another area until you’ve finished with your first small area.
Declutter one room at a time. Choose a room where you will be successful quickly in achieving your goal of being clutter-free. As you declutter you will feel freer and lighter. One client said she felt “100 pounds lighter” after decluttering her first room, plus she felt motivated to keep going.
Set a timer for 15 minutes. You’ll be amazed by your progress after 15 minutes of uninterrupted, focused time. If you have time, set it for another 15 minutes. Don’t declutter for more than one hour the first day, so you will save your energy and enthusiasm for the next day.
Enjoy the process! You never know, you may find some hidden treasures among your clutter.
Thank you, Dr. O”Flaherty, for your comment. I appreciate your feedback and encouragement for my nudging! Decluttering is a constant struggle for me, too!
Dr. Murphy, well done! I am a computer tutor, and often I help people make progress decluttering their computers, helping them organize files and photos. This feeling of mastery and success often then leads to clients asking for help decluttering other areas of their homes as well. I can affirm that your suggestions are practical and bring results!
Thank you, Vicki Mills, for your comment. I’ve heard of your reputation as a decluttering expert. I appreciate your feedback.

Photo restoration uses a variety of image editing techniques to remove visible damages and aging effects from digital copies of physical photos. Graphics editors are typically used to repair the appearance of the image and restore on the digital copy of the photo pieces of the physical photograph that were torn or missing. Evidence of dirt, scratches, and other signs of photographic age are removed from the digital image manually, by painting over them meticulously. Unwanted color casts are removed and the image's contrast or sharpening may be altered in order to recover the contrast range or detail of the original physical image.
STEP 1: Image and negative analysis. Prior to working with an image we analyze each individual print or positive/negative film to determine the best suited treatment.
STEP 2: Pre-capture physical cleanup. Before digitizing the image, we clean what is possible through lint free, dust attracting clothes and filtered compressed air.
STEP 3: High-grade digital image capture. Each image is digitally captured using high resolution scanners, or by photographing the image using commercial cameras.
STEP 4: Digital image enhancement. Digital images are cropped, missing areas are restored and faded color and contrast are enhanced.
STEP 5: Advanced image repair. In this step, dust, scratches, mould, water marks and any other flaws are removed.
STEP 6: Optimization for output. The image is optimized for digital or printed final copies.
We offer colorization services for restored black and white images. This is a carefully crafted process adapted to suit the requirements of each and every image we work on.
We can print your restored and colored images.
Printing can be any size from 4″ x 5″ to 24″ x 36″poster sized prints.
Matte or glossy finish options are available.

PLR products, if used for scraping prevention without changing at least 25% to 50% of what is written, will be susceptible to search engine filtering because of duplicate works. This can lead to a lower page rank for your website, or worse, a de-indexing for your web pages. Since 80% of your traffic would come from the search engines, this would be a dire consequence indeed.
Therefore, the analysis of the document or paragraph of text is usually impractical. Some financial services Deben binary data is often ignored – the intended target and confusing pieces of information in a text format that – that basically says that the media images or data. OCR software is the only form of visual web scraper.
Sometimes you will visit a website that appears to be displaying the usual mixture of text and pictures, but on closer inspection, even the text is actually contained within a picture. If there is no real text displayed within a website, Google has no clue what the website is about and the website will feature very poorly in the search engine results. There are ways to partly fix this, using what are called ‘Alt’ tags, used in combination with the website title and description, but as a rule your website should contain lots of relevant text. This is what Google likes!
Try when linking to other pages on your website to use anchor text which contains the keyword. Instead of using “Products” us something more specific which that page is optimized for. Eg “Buy Hanging Baskets” for a webpage optimized for the keyword “Buy Hanging Basket”. Also try to use text links for all pages within your site and stay away from using images as links.

Research in Motion has agreed to hand over access codes to give Saudi authorities access to individual BlackBerry devices, according to a report from Reuters.
Saudi Arabia was due to ban the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service on Friday, but the Communications and Information Telecommunications Commission (CITC), gave operators until Monday to test servers based with each of the three operators in the country that offers BlackBerry services.
Reuters now cites a source familiar with the talks between the CITC, RIM and the operators as saying that the idea of setting up a server at each of the three local service providers has proved impractical, and that in place RIM has agreed to offer Saudi Arabia's interior ministry and intelligence services the codes to all Saudi BlackBerry users.
The CITC was not available for comment, while RIM referred to an earlier statement that "RIM cooperates with all governments with a consistent standard".

December has flown by, hasn't it? If it's not work parties, then it's kid's school performances and plenty of other holiday obligations. Not to mention the shopping. I'm very much an online shopper, so the less I have to go into the stores to shop, the better.
But with all of the busy that the holidays bring, sometimes comes those winter colds. Thankfully we have not had to combat any illness (and as I write this, I worry I'm jinxing myself) but I try very much so to keep my family healthy for the holidays!
Sleep, Chill, Repeat - Getting enough sleep is so important for the immune system. I definitely enjoy a winter's nap and if we can sleep in, we do. The darker evenings help with getting the kids to sleep a little earlier. Not over-committing during the holidays also helps us get some good sleep and keeps the stress low.
Breakfast and the Sun - Always having some fruit and protein is our norm for breakfast. Luckily, we still have some sunny days in San Antonio where the kids can get some natural vitamin D and exercise in the fresh air.
Hands, Teeth and Noses - I swear by saline spray to get my kids through a cold quicker. I feel like it just helps them clear out all of the yucky going on. My kids never really love the nasal spray, but because we have always used it, they are used to it.
We wash hands with soap and water always when we get home from shopping, school, eating...everything. And Santa always puts a cool toothbrush in their stocking to help switch out any germs. It's always important to change toothbrushes after an illness, too!
And then it's the good old flu shot. I know you've probably heard some stories about whether or not to get it, but after speaking with a pediatrician, my conclusion is that we are all getting the shot.
And with that. I can mention about getting covered through the Affordable Care Act. Most people must have health coverage or they may have to pay a fee. So if you are not covered through your employer, be sure to check out EnrollSA or visit the enrollment events listed below to get all your questions answered.
For more information on local events or help with enrollment in Bexar County visit www.EnrollSA.com or call 2-1-1. Wishing you the most wonderful and healthy holidays!

Without climate change mitigation policies, half of the world could face extreme water scarcity before the end of the century, a study has found. However, researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) also warned that poorly planned policies could exacerbate the crisis.
The study, which was carried out with the help of the Joint Global Change Research Institute, is comprehensive and used unique modelling technology. The model linked economic, energy, land-use and climate systems to demonstrate impacts on water scarcity. The findings show that without any climate policy to curb carbon greenhouse gas emissions, half of the world could be living with extreme water scarcity by 2095.
The scientists also found that some climate policies could make water scarcity worse, such as increasing the use of biofuels, which require a lot of water to grow.
Mohamad Hejazi, lead author and climate scientist at PNNL, said, “All high-resolution global integrated assessment models lack any representation of water systems.
The researchers explained that factoring in water scarcity is vital when considering climate change policies, because many technology strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions rely on plentiful water. As a result, availability could impose severe limits on both emissions mitigation and climate adaption.
Previous studies have also warned of the risks around climate change and water resources. One study predicted that a changing climate could put 40% more people across the world at risk of water scarcity because of changes in rainfall and evaporation.

It is more than a month since Cityscape Dubai event drew curtains for this year – an event which attracted close to several thousands of visitors and record number of local and international exhibitors which set the real estate industry buzzing with new product launches, market analysis and survey reports.
Having been a visitor to couple of earlier Cityscape editions, I made this year’s visit on the last day afternoon. Somehow, I felt the buzz which was created in the lead up to the event was not evident going by action in the display stands. Yes, there were quite a number of visitors in the stands of major UAE developers showcasing their current and future projects in the main hall exhibiting area but the crowd level was low in other stands and in the extension area where several international developers and real estate service providers were located. Some of the project and building designs were a visual treat – fantastic creativity.
Firstly, did I get my visit to the exhibition at wrong time of the day? I convinced myself that being the last day people would normally flock in droves especially throughout afternoon until late evening. Secondly, do people really make property buy decision during an exhibition? I guess some would, if they are convinced that investment option is really attractive. I spoke to few of my friends later and majority responded that they would not buy an end-use home during an exhibition, as this would normally involve joint family consultation. Presumably, the sales team of developers would keep track of potential customers where contact details have been exchanged during the visit and do further follow up for deal closure or otherwise. To my surprise, most of the developer stands I visited and exchanged business cards did not bother to do follow up emails/calls.
Thirdly, would some of those stunning developments have taken into consideration cost of maintenance? Creation is one part but the asset must be well maintained to last its life. Certainly, the buyers would need to consider paying sizeable amount of service charges for upkeep and maintenance. Fourthly, would there be enough buyers for the projects showcased as most of them were in the luxury or affordable luxury segment? Since Dubai real estate market is predominantly investor driven and not end-users and more aligned to international market movements, I expect some developers would face challenging times when the market slows down and investors funds goes for allocation elsewhere. We are already seeing advertisements for off-plan developments being resold in the market at zero or low premium to original price. Since customers are paying through own equity for off-plan projects, developers must ensure robust collection mechanism is in place. Developers should also consider carrying out customer due diligence prior to sale as this would enable to have a better understanding of the customer and their financial position.
It was interesting to see a development which had claimed their project was sold out was offered immediately thereafter for sale by a real estate agent at launch price i.e. without premium. More interestingly, the same product was offered at the exhibition by the developer. In the meantime, the developer was talking up the project and getting some fantastic PR through media coverage! During my conversation with the industry players, I realized that some developers resort to striking deals with real estate agencies on bulk basis at special price and consider it as sale. Apart from when to consider “sale” being driven by relevant accounting standards and policy of the developer, longer sales cycle and longer collection period must be factored into project stress analysis to understand the impact of such variables on completion.
Post Cityscape, quite a number of market analysis reports have been published by industry experts confirming that Dubai residential real estate market is witnessing lower transaction volumes and price reduction in select developments and lower rental growth. Affordability of homes either for purchase or rent is becoming an issue with sky-rocketing prices particularly on the back of Dubai winning its bid to host Expo 2020. I believe this price correction is healthy for sustainability of the market and likely to continue for some time. Whilst this change is happening, investors have been moving their allocation within real estate to other sectors such as hospitality, office and industrial and I am getting ready for cooler months!

Valentine's Day this year was a little bit CRAZY!! Sienna was under a severe thunderstorm warning which quickly turned into a tornado warning! The kids' school went into lockdown & all the classes in the portables, including Addy's, were brought inside. Luckily I was subbing that day so I was able to check on my kiddos. They both did great & after about 2 hours, the threat passed, school resumed and the kids were still able to have their class Valentine's parties.
and played a Minute to Win It game of how many conversation hearts they could pick up with a straw in a minute.
and heart shaped Cheerio bird feeders.
And before Valentine's Day, I had lots of fun making lots of Valentine hearts.
and I helped mom make these cute Choose Joy ones for church.
On February 9th, Alex went on his 2nd grade field trip to the Houston Zoo.
The weather was perfect that day & the pokestops were a plenty! Which all made for a super fun field trip!!

SAN FRANCISCO (04/25/2000) - The final specification for USB 2.0, boasting 40 times the bandwidth of the existing spec, is expected to be announced Wednesday and appear in peripherals by year end.
The successor to USB 1.1 is being announced at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here. Pat Gelsinger, vice president of Intel Corp.'s Desktop Products Group, is expected to detail the final spec in a keynote.
Plans for USB 2.0 were announced last year by the USB 2.0 Promoter Group, consisting of Compaq Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Intel Corp., Lucent Technologies Inc., Microsoft Corp., NEC Technologies Inc., and Philips Electronics NV. USB 2.0 ports and peripherals could be widely available next year.
USB 2.0 extends the speed of connections between peripherals and PCs to up to 480 megabits per second, compared to the 12-mbps capacity of USB 1.1. This makes it especially useful for such high-bandwidth devices and applications as scanners, storage, and digital still and video cameras.
The new spec will be backward compatible so that existing USB devices can run on the new ports--although at their existing, slower speeds. However, USB 2.0 will let you simultaneously run multiple USB 1.x peripherals off the same port.
And you won't suffer the speed loss you'd experience with a USB 1.x port once the combined bandwidth of the devices exceeds the 12-mbps maximum of that port.
Although USB 2.0 will be even faster than the current IEEE 1394 standard (also called FireWire by Apple Computer Inc. and ILink by Sony Corp.), which tops out at about 400 mbps, Intel officials say they view the two specs as complimentary rather than competing. That's because IEEE 1394 is a peer-to-peer connection that will appear on a wide variety of consumer electronics, while USB 2.0 is specific to PC peripherals.

I always say it’s never too late to re write the next chapter in your life. When I say that I would apply that to our canine companions.
Sometimes that can be a hard thing to believe. It’s easy to get stuck or wrapped up in the traumatic events that happen to us or in this case the dogs. When that happens the dogs sometimes “unintentionally’ get placed in a category or labeled with what I refer to as the “ I love you crutch” for the rest of their lives. The “ILUC” is like a Ninja, it sneaks up on you before you even realize what it is or what it’s doing and before you know it deprives the dog of that chance to see what they can overcome and become. They get stuck in the “this is what happened to me and this is what I will always be" A victim.
To much of the ILUC and not enough "moving past the past" can actually create more crippling disabilities for the dog that simply weren't there,until the ILUC Ninja created them"
No one wants to always remain a victim. Dogs are strong, noble, intelligent creatures; They “want” to move past the past.
It’s when we remove the labels and move on past what we see on the outside and look to what is on the inside that we can truly see what potential these dogs truly have.
Turner comes to mind when I say those things, a dog that by obvious examination of his wounds looks to have suffered at the hands of some sort of horrible cruelty or neglect - Broken? Damaged? Too far gone from abuse to help? I say No. This dog and many others …..Solid Temperament [Check]. – That’s the first step forward.
It wasn't until we took him out of his kennel that we saw the serious extent of his injuries, behind his ear and halfway up high around his neck was cut wide open, literally open flesh. OUCH!
"Dog, how can you be wiggly and even wanting to kiss and love on us dog? You must be in some horrible pain."
Yet he looked at us all hovering around him as if to say “what’s all the fuss about? Is there a treat wagon here someplace and I don’t know it?"
I caught myself saying, you must really hate the person who did this to you buddy, but it wasn't to long after that came out of my mouth that I looked at him kissing and loving on everyone, trying to get as close to them as he could, following them around the room over any treat or food that was presented to him that - Here it is, the " abused dog" and what am I trying to do to him right off the bat? I'm trying to disable him by "assuming" that because of all this abuse that was bestowed upon him he is immediately going to not like humans and something will be wrong with him his whole life- Oh gosh what did I just do? I quickly gathered myself and looked back at him and said " You're a good dog who's living in the moment, the now.
Here sits a dog that is READY to move forward in his life and he’s proving that to me here and now" I refuse to put a label on you and start your life off with a disability of being that " forever damaged & abused dog" I'm sorry buddy, forgive me, I am a stupid human. You already know what the deal is, I apologize “Grand Teacher of this world” for trying to hold you back right of the bat!
Yes, he was horribly abused, something terrible had happened to him but we are not going to start his new life out with a label- none other than. “Great dog with a Great temperament"
I say this because I have lived and learned of what "unintended consequences" we as great caretakers can create with a dog by thinking that we are being loving & caring- When my 12-year-old Mastiff/Am Staff cross Renny was a puppy.
I had investigated his cruelty case where someone had duct taped his legs and mouth shut and took a pair of office scissors and cut his ears off- for months and into the first year of his life I babied him and let him get away with everything, he had no structure at all . Why? because I felt so sorry for what had happened to him that I let all my training knowledge fly right out the window, he was just going to do whatever he wanted to do- errrr uhhh so I thought- that was until he began to make his own rules and they were certainly not want I had wanted when he was fully recovered and a whopping 120lbs adult sized dog.
He was unruly because I babied him and didn't give him the structure he needed, instead I gave him the much of the “ILUC” and not enough structure and he became unruly and bossy to me, yes- I said it- he was. past tense now, he is no longer like that as I came to my senses, Nowadays we are much better balanced and much happier- GEE I could have saved us years of aggravation had I only followed my own advice 12 years ago.
I’m not saying we can’t or shouldn’t show them love, compassion or be daunting over them but we must not let the abuse they suffered stand in the way of giving them a well-balanced life- we can’t allow the past to hover over them all the time or get in the way of a forward movement.
If we do it’s like saying, You CANT recover dog- you just can’t do it- We need to remove that word CANT- because they CAN, IF we show them how. Truly, they already know "how" It’s us as humans that hold them back a lot of the time because It's hard for us humans to let go of the past, and that’s normal and that’s really not what I am asking for anyone to do. Its painful and maddening to us and we should always do what we can to make sure the people who do these things to these animals are held accountable for their actions.
My point is this, as horrible as the abuse is to a dog- we must move them past that and move them on to the future- No one likes to live in the past- why would we want to stay in the past- for abused dogs or dogs that have suffered a trauma they certainly don’t want to live in the past- it's not happy there nor is it useful to them, so they move on- and when they have someone who will show them a different way of life they lie that and they move forward to that.
That’s what we want for Turner, Yes whatever happened to him was certainly horrific and the man who did this to him will have his day in a courtroom, and we will be there to see that he is held accountable for what he did, but Turners future is our focus at the moment- steering him out of the past and into the future- a bright one, a RIGHT one.
It’s our job & commitment as the rescuers, citizens & caretakers to be the ones who remember those horrible things that were done to these dogs and make it a point to attend court trials, write letters, be the advocates- but we cannot keep the dogs in the past- It's also our job to be the ones who regardless what they have suffered, be the ones that give them the tools they need to move them into the future.

Spaghettini Restaurant introduces their new menu just recently and I must say it’s going to be an eye opening experience for the Brunei dining scene. Chef Ajoy introduced quite a number of modern style cuisines that combine culinary cultures across continents and also reconstructed classic dishes with his creativity. You can be guaranteed you won’t find anything similar in Brunei as Chef Ajoy dares to be different!
The smell of fresh bread is always welcome at the start of the meal. Some restaurants offer garlic bread or dinner rolls with butter. Spaghettini offers us freshly baked bread served with three types of butter; pesto butter, roasted capsicum butter and regular butter.
Besides that they also serve creative champagne like drinks to start your meal.
Our Amuse Bouche for the night – salmon and flavoured foam. An Amuse Bouche is usually eaten in one bite – so I took my salmon and sab it on the sauces and foam – then finish it with one bite. Delicious in a bite! Now let’s roll on the appetizers!
The menu is quite descriptive – briefly introducing you to the dishes they offer. What they did not describe is how much effort and time is used to prepare these dishes.
The first appetizer is the Black Angus Beef Carpaccio (which is thinly sliced raw beef) served with balsamic jelly (balsamic vinegar made into a jelly) and the white thing that looks like a fish ball is actually white truffle sorbet – an ice cream made from white truffles!
This is chocolate infused prawns, served with a spicy mango glaze and salsa. I personally like the spicy mango salsa on this dish as it goes very well with the prawns.
This is their scallop appetizer dish – which is a scallop served in 3 different ways – one is a scallop mousse, the center is grilled scallop and the last one is a wasabi breaded scallop.
This is a creative reconstruction of the classic tomato and mozarella – in which the tomato is made into a terrine and then served with bocconcini (cheese) ice cream. The lines on the side of the plate are actually pesto and crushed pine nuts.
At first glance – you would think this is a dessert based – but it’s actually crab wrapped by pasta sheets – the black coloured one is made from squid ink. The liquid this dish is swimming on is the watercress emulsion and is also served with star anise tomato jam.
Now this appetizer is indeed special. It’s smoked duck and mushroom quesadilla (crispy tortilla), served with roasted corn and pepper relish. To me – this was my favourite appetizer of the night hands down. In fact – what’s special was that one of the tasters never liked duck – but actually enjoyed this dish. One of those foodgasm moments you would say.
They have three soups to choose from their menu.
This is their tomato tortilla soup with avocados and parmigiano reggiano cheese – a vegetarian soup.
Lobster bisque with goat’s cheese spring roll and keta caviar. The spring roll was quite delicious.
Their mushroom cappuccino requires a lot of time and work to execute and I must say this is my favourite soup out of the three. It’s a very rich soup and I really like the dijon custard in the soup.
It’s finally time for the main course! The appetizers and soups got us quite excited!
Angus Rib Eye Steak – served with a mustard ice cream (replacing the usual melted herb butters and mustard) with confit potatoes.
Their lamb dish – which is lamb loin wrapped with pasta dough and served on a yellow pepper juice. From first glance, I actually thought it looked like tuna sushi.
Another dish that looks like sushi! This is monk fish cheek quenelles with risotto ‘cake’ and asparagus with vanilla apple chutney on the side.
Pan fried blue cod fish served with a mussel saffron sauce, avocado relish, and on the side is the sweet potato gnocchis on a white truffle sauce. I like how my cod is perfectly cooked and goes very well with the relish.
This is their boneless roasted spring chicken, served with a pumpkin slaw, black sesame raviolli and verjuice glaze.

Choosing the best service provider is trickier than one might expect. While many local providers may offer fiber connections, most only offer internet and the prices and offerings can shift at a moment's notice.
Because of the market's tendency to change rapidly, what should be an easy exercise can turn into a marathon of research, price quoting and cross-comparisons. Avoid those roadblocks by working with a trusted third-party agency today.

It all began on Friday January 18 when constitutional expert Yusril Ihza Mahendra, speaking as the legal advisor to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, visited the Gunung Sindur penitentiary in Bogor, West Java, to meet with Bashir.
He claimed that Widodo had delegated him to secure a conditional release for Bashir. One of his considerations was on humanitarian grounds.
Mahendra said that Bashir is entitled to obtain a conditional release because he behaved well while in prison and as of mid-December 2018 had already served two-thirds of his sentence.
In 2011 Bashir was sentenced to 15 years in jail by the South Jakarta District Court for organising a terrorist training camp in Indonesia’s northern-most province of Aceh.
One of the obstacles faced by Mahendra in securing Bashir’s release is a pledge of loyalty to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). Bashir is unwilling to do this.
Mahendra however claims that this has been resolved saying that Bashir can still be released because he has made pledge of loyalty to Islam. The state ideology of Pancasila, said Mahendra, is in accord with and does not conflict with Islam.
Widodo has also confirmed that he wants to give a conditional release to Bashir for the same reason as stated by Mahendra, that the humanitarian aspect was a consideration.
But Bashir’s chances of obtaining a conditional release appear to be fading. Coordinating Minister for Security, Politics and Legal Affairs Wiranto said that the government will study several issues first before giving the founder of the Jamaah Islamiyah group a conditional release.
The aspects being reconsidered, according to Wiranto, are the issue of ideology, politics, the NKRI and so forth. Government agency heads will discuss the matter more fully.
On Tuesday January 22, Widodo again spoke out on the issue. He said that Bashir must still give a pledge of loyalty to the NKRI if he wants’ a conditional release. Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu and the Minister for Justice and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly both emphasised a similar point.
Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) Coordinator Yati Andriyani believes that the “obscene language” surrounding the polemic over Bashir’s conditional release flows from Widodo’s position on the issue. Andriyani said that there is a political aroma behind Widodo’s vacillation.
Andriyani believes that Widodo is concerned about not getting enough votes in the 2019 presidential election. This anxiety is pushing Widodo to try to free Bashir without looking at the finer details of existing regulations, in this case Government Regulation Number 99/2012.
The regulation requires that terrorist convicts pledge their loyalty to the NKRI and Pancasila if they want a conditional release after serving two-thirds of their sentence. Based on Mahendra’s remarks however, Widodo does not object to Bashir just pledging an oath to Islam, and not Pancasila.
“His (Widodo’s) negligence impacts upon his indecisiveness. He has a political motivation which is making him careless and wanting to accelerate [the process]”, said Andriyani when contacted by CNN Indonesia on Tuesday evening.
In addition to this, said Andriyani, now that a number of problems have emerged, it demonstrates Widodo’s weakness. “In the end it is now being reevaluated”, she said.
Andriyani believes that taking a position for political reasons can have an influence on a president’s prudence, particularly since Widodo has again stepped forwards as a candidate in the presidential election (pilpres) as the incumbent.
Andriyani said that this has now being confirmed. Moreover, according to Andriyani, it has been revealed that Widodo miss-coordinated with related ministers.
“Pak [Mr] Jokowi, don’t forget. At the moment you are still the head of state and the head of the government. Not just a contestant in the 2019 pilpres”, said Andriyani. “The justification of humanitarian grounds is quite plausible but the legal requirements can’t be side stepped”.
Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) political observer (LIPI) Ali Munhanif says that actually the government has for some time been considering a conditional release for Bashir. And of course there are humanitarian grounds because Bashir is already old and has becoming increasingly fragile.
“And there is the importance of avoiding a terrorist leader dying in jail. Because this would change Bashir’s image from that of a convicted criminal to a martyr”, said Munhanif.
Munhanif agrees with the assumption that Bashir’s followers will soften their position if their esteemed leader pledges an oath of loyalty to NKRI and Pancasila. Nevertheless, Bashir is a legendary Islamic leader and has many fanatic followers.
It would be a big mistake on Widodo’s part however if he releases Bashir without a pledge of loyalty to NKRI and Pancasila because the public will question Widodo’s commitment to fighting terrorism in Indonesia.
Moreover, up until now Widodo has been seen as quite consistent. For example, said Munhanif, in closing down radical websites, disbanding the radical Islamic group Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) and promoting religious moderation.
Munhanif believes that Widodo will in fact be abandoned by Muslim voters if he frees Bashir without a pledge of loyalty to the NKRI, particularly those who have yet to make a choice or undecided voters.
Munhanif says that Muslim voters are becoming more enlightened although he concedes that there are many groups who yearn for Islamic law. But, they will not like it if space is given to radicalism such as facilitating Bashir’s conditional release without a pledge of loyalty to the NKRI.
“It will further undermine [the support of] moderate Muslim voters, non-ideological voters, even more will defect. It is here that Jokowi has to be careful in playing the radicalism card for electoral interests”, said Munhanif.

Ready to remodel that basement? What should you do with it?
What will you do with your basement remodel this year? What’s the best way to unlock the value of this space?
Bedroom and bathroom counts (along with finished square feet) add the most tangible value to homes. This is real money that can be cashed in on when it comes time to resell.
There are many uses for this space too. Make it a decadent second master suite, sound proof room for those noisy teens, a truly separate living area for aging parents that may need to move in, or rent it out on Airbnb and bring in extra money each and every month. HGTV estimates basic DIY finishing of a basement can run as little as $10,000, though it can reach over $60,000 depending on what you do with it.
Home offices are quickly becoming the most important room in the house. According to Forrester Research at least 67 million US workers will work remotely in 2016. By 2020 a Fast Company report suggests at least 50% of the American workforce will be 100% work from home, and in some fields this is already approaching 80% of workers and executives. The home office will make or break the mortgage payment each month, will make all the difference in quality of relationships in the home, and is increasingly becoming one of the most important features when it comes to advertising homes for sale.
A real office with plenty of space, high speed internet, and quiet, is a must, and the basement is the ideal space to accomplish this. The latest Cost vs. Value Report places a home office remodel as one of the least expensive at an average of $30,000. However, don’t expect much return on this particular upgrade should you decide to sell your house. The ROI in terms of costs recouped is less than 50%.
‘She sheds’ and crafting corners have been trending as moms seek an escape, get to work documenting their family’s lives with scrapbooks, and flex their art talents and sell their work via online shopping boutiques like Shopify and Etsy.
Turning the basement into an art studio can prevent having to freeze your behind off to get out to a shed in the colder months, provides more room, and is a far more lasting and sustainable option.
Expect to spend between $50 to $150 per square foot, if you are starting from scratch with your basement remodel, in addition to your interior design touches and accessories.
The Wall St. Journal has noted that ‘spiritual spaces’ have been trending for a couple of years. This can be as complex as designing a full on detailed chapel with stained glass windows and a Michelangelo worthy painting on the ceiling, or as simple as a Zen dojo with authentic Tatami mats where you can just soak up the quietness. Tatami mats run as little as around $100 for a 3’ x 3’ from Wayfair.
Luxury real estate agents continue to highlight the home gym as one of the best-selling rooms in a property today. This doesn’t have to be absurdly expensive, but don’t ruin it like many cheap hotels by simply sticking a treadmill in the basement and calling it a ‘gym’.
Wall mirrors can make a big difference and improve the feel of a basement space. Ceiling mounted boxing bags appear to be trending again. And lightweight equipment from yoga mats, to Bosu balls, to free weights can all be taken with you to your next home when you move.
Those looking for truly mind-blowing room ideas to boast about should consider a home spa. High-end home and condo builders are increasingly modeling bathrooms after the most luxurious resort spas. This includes marble countertops and walls, decorative sinks, room for massage tables, and super-sized walk-in showers.
Wine cellars are still hot. They continue to be one of the most boasted features by new condo developers, so why not install one of your own? If wine isn’t your thing, and you really want to stand out consider a cigar room, complete with humidor, and well stocked bar of fine spirits? For those with smaller spaces and on a tight budget this may be accomplished with a wine cooler, DIY bars, and opting for a standalone air purifiers.
According to JR Cigars an acceptable air purifier may be as in expensive as $50 to $550. At the higher end a full air handling system for those planning to have lots of smoking guests may run $5,000.
For those that really want to show off these basement spaces and make them a focal point of the home consider adding glass flooring on the upper level. Glass is green, and a lot stronger than many think.

Tips: Any vegetables you prefer can be substituted.
Suggestion: Delicious served with or without rice.
Asian ingredients often found in Korean dishes, as well as a number of other ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.
The sauce (a portion of which is also used for the marinade) has a delicious robust and tangy flavor, and is made by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger root, sesame oil, chili sauce and olive oil. The meat is first marinated in a portion of the sauce for 30 or more minutes. The remaining reserved sauce is used for adding to the vegetables and meat while stir-frying, so this meat and vegetable stir-fry dish is certainly not lacking in flavor! This recipe suggests using sugar snap peas, broccoli florets, red bell pepper and baby corns, but you can certainly substitute with any number of vegetables you enjoy, including cauliflower, pea pods, bean sprouts, bok choy, etc.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Reserve 2/3 of the marinade for stir frying later.
Place meat in a bowl with 1/3 of marinade and allow to marinate for 30 minutes, turning meat over after first 15 minutes. Broil meat in oven until slightly charred. Cut meat into thin slices.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large skillet. Add vegetables and stir fry for about 3-5 minutes or until tender but firm. Add sliced meat to vegetables and stir fry again for about 3-5 minutes or until meat is browned. Add reserved marinade and cook on low for 1-2 minutes or until meat and vegetables are well-coated.
Serve over rice. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.

Continuing my previous post, ELLE Australia's debut at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia made quite the impact. Following a stellar ready-to-wear group show ELLE surprised the audience by pulling back the black carpet to reveal a glittering gold runway. A golden DJ emerged from beneath a towering ELLE cover starring Anne Hathaway, cue breathtaking gold design after gold design walking the catwalk adorned in unique ELLE accessories. The support for the new magazine is immense with most designer pieces being either specially commissioned or not seen yet on the MBFWA runway. Finishing off the show in true style, the finale walk had models carrying soaring bunches of golden ELLE balloons amidst exploding gold confetti falling from above. What a show and what a way to have us truly saying....why hello ELLE!
btw, maybe you should consider removing the possibility to add Anon. comments here? :) it totally helps to fight with all that spam.

I want to share some important things with everybody related to our new webpage and also about second part of championship.
First of all I want to tell everybody that I start to migrate from our old webpage to this new one. From last round I start to put all statistics on this new page, because I want to check if everithing is working correctly. In parallel I put the results also on the old site but there I insert just the scores because there we will have the standings and from there we will know after we closing the first part of the season who will go to the inter league and who will remain in division A and division B.
In the following weeks I will change a lot of things on our new webpage to fit that standards which I proposed in the begining of this project. For sure we will have also a menu for our documents, where you will find the abla rule book, registration form, transfer form and other important documents related to our champinship.
I think an important feature of this site is that you can post your comments in case of every news and also in this way you can share your opinion for different things. For sure before your post will go live, we have to approve this, this means that we just check if the text does not contain scheming.
Also if you have any idea regarding how to make a better site, please use the contact menu and write us an e-mail with your ideas.
Now come take a look what we will do in the second part of championship. As everybody know we are very close to the end of the first part of our championship which was a qualification part. We have only one week in which we can organize games and this week is the 9-10 of December. In this week we will have a weekend full of games because Cluj and Novi Sad will take a visit in Arad to play their last games. I already take a look on our reamining games and for sure some games (3-4) will remain for next year. Unfortunately we had some problems in this first part of season, because we have a lot of tournaments in Arad organized by Romanian Basketball Federation and all our staff were busy with this mandatory games and we could not organize in that weeks enough games to keep the schedule.
Next year our championship will starts in 13.01.2018 with a recovery weekend where we will schedule all canceled games and it will be mandatory to play all the games in this weekend. Who can not come will lost the game with 20-0. Sorry but somehow we have to go forward.
As I told everybody after the first part of the season the last two teams from A division and the first three teams from B division will create an inter league and in this way we will continue with A division, Inter League and B division in each we will have 5 teams. In every league every team will play 3 times with all other teams. Finally after this the first 4 teams from each league will play a final four.
Regarding the schedule for the second part of the season, I try to do my best to put all games on the site from beginning but I think also in this case we will have a lot of modification week by week, because a lot of players are working and so on. We try to do our best to schedule in that way all games that the teams can come to the games.
A very important thing, in January before first game of the second part, every team must to pay the second part of the participation tax.
We will come back with fresh info soon.
