With Valentine’s Day coming tomorrow I tend to get introspective and can’t help sharing my thoughts about this day.
Anyone close to me knows that I am a total sucker for nostalgia. Old fashioned ideas of handmade cards, sweeties and suitors leave me longing to be a damsel of simpler times. At this stage in my life, Valentine's Day do not appeal to me anymore as a particular day to make a fuss over anyone. It instead created a place for me for other things like memories of a first date or a first kiss, or simply just a day to reflect on my love and appreciation for my friends, amazing family and myself.
One more thing, I think Valentines Day is a Hallmark Holiday; a corporate concoction that plays on our deepest feelings for the purpose of selling us stuff.
But why not set aside a day to celebrate love? Yes, I know. I understand it and I agree with it: But I believe that we ought to celebrate our love and the love of our life on a daily basis. I write under my nom de plume and offer up a light-hearted look at all things romantical yet tre's simple.
All these sweet things people do on this love day means a lot, but to me what really matters most is to take time everyday…in words or deeds…don’t let another minute slip by without saying I love you those who matters so much in my life not only on days like Feb. 14 but every chance I get.
Happy Valentines to you all!!!

There is also the security issue too, as people feel more comfortable when they have their important possessions right there in front of them with the best waist pack possible. In order to choose the best one though, it’s important to balance up all the key features.
From storage capacity and pockets, to weight and waterproofing, we will look at all those key features and have also completed fanny pack reviews on the best products on the market. Once you’ve finished reading, you’ll know exactly how to choose the best fanny pack.
This is a top rated fanny waist pack from Freetoo which gives you all the key features that you will be looking for. It is able to give you a lot of room without being too big and has five separate zippered compartments to store all of your essentials.

This is a much more slender hip pack which is aimed at those who have security on top of their agenda. This lightweight fanny pack is ideal for being able to store your valuable items close to you in a zipped up pocket but doesn’t have room for much else.
The material is waterproof and one great feature is that it has RFID material to block any attempts are reading your cards. It’s slender and discreet to give you peace of mind and it is highly adjustable with a mesh back to give you comfort.
In a complete contrast to the previous product this is a hiking belt pouch which is going to be able to give you nearly as much space as a traditional backpack. That makes it one of the best waist packs for walking but also for other activities such as camping or fishing.
It can be worn in three separate ways as it can be used as a traditional fanny pack if it’s not too heavy, over the front with a strap if it gets heavier and around the back if it is quite heavy. There are two bottle holders and the fanny pack features a lot of storage space.

Between them it has three large compartments which are going to be perfect for storing your items and it is made from a waterproof polyester material which is going to protect everything inside. These qualities make it an ideal fanny pack for hiking, hunting and fishing.
When choosing a fanny pack, storage space is going to be very import depending on your needs and this type of product comes in a number of different sizes as they are made for different activities. Some people just want to secure their valuable items such as their phone, keys and money and therefore don’t need much space at all.
Others will see a fanny pack as a good substitute for a backpack on a hiking trip and therefore will need to take more gear with them, including water bottles. Other activities such as fishing take up a lot more space and therefore you need to work out what your specific needs are. Getting a large fanny pack when you want to go running, for example, wouldn’t work.
The pocket options on a fanny pack come in many different varieties and this, again, is often down to a personal choice and what your needs are. Most of these packs will have one large main compartment though where you are able to store most of your items.
The front of the pack will be configured in different ways by different brands. Some have one large pocket on the front while others have several pockets. Having a large number of pockets would be great for an activity such as fishing but might be a little too much for traveling.
If you have a pack which was mostly designed for the likes of camping, hiking or backpacking then it’s a great idea to have one with water bottles so that you don’t have to carry them. Another great feature some packs have is a hidden pack pocket to store your valuables.
Weight is going to be an important feature in the fanny packs as the whole point of them is to be light and portable, and therefore it makes it a great substitute to the backpack and avoids the use of having an over the shoulder bag.
As we have mentioned previously, these key features will vary in importance depending on the purpose that you are going to have. If you are going on a hiking trip, for example, then it’s likely that you are going to have to have a heavier bag to support those extra items.
If you are going to be doing other activities though, then you probably would want to make sure they are light as possible. Most of these packs don’t weight a lot though. For those that are capable of holding extra storage, it’s important to look for additional straps to be able to hold that weight.
One of the main reasons that you might get a fanny pack is for the security that they provide. There is something reassuring about having your valuable items right in front of you. This is especially important if you are traveling or in a crowded place.
A lot of major cities are notorious for pickpocketing and fanny pack can be a brilliant way to protect you from that. One great feature that a lot of these products have is a back pocket which will be hidden from view, which is a great place to store your possessions.
Some of these bags are a lot smaller and specifically have security in mind with little space for non-valuable items. One useful feature that can be found in the bag to block RFID signals which can be used to steal card information.
Regardless of what type of activity you are doing, it’s likely that sooner or later your fanny pack is going to come into contact with the water. This could be from splashes or spills but will most likely be from contact with the rain.
Due to this it’s important that your fanny pack has a good level of water resistance in order to keep your contents dry. The materials that these products are made from are usually tough and durable, with a water-resistant coating added to them.
Other materials are able to promise waterproof protection which is able to give you that added level of security which can be useful but the water would still be able to seep in through the zips if it was seriously tested.
As these packs generally have one strap around the waist, you want to make sure that they are going to be as comfortable as possible. That means making sure that they are the correct length and sit correctly on your waist.
A lot of these belts have a high degree of adjustability and are able to fit on men, women and children. Other belts are more specific and therefore it’s important to check that the belt is going to fit you before you make your choice.
For the bags which are able to take a lot more weight, additional straps might be added to them in order to make them more comfortable. These might allow you to wear the bag over the shoulder or wear them like a regular backpack and it can be good to have that versatility.
Water is very heavy and therefore these types of holder are usually designed for an activity where water should specifically be needed such as with running or hiking. These usually come in the form of mesh holders which will be either at the side or front of it.
These can be very useful if you were going to be taking a bottle on your trip anyway as it gives you somewhere to place it. There are packs out there which have one slot or two, depending on your preference and how much water you plan on taking.
A: A fanny pack is a fabric pouch which is going to be secured with a zipper. This pouch is generally worn around the hips or the waist which will give the user easy access to the items that are inside, making it a highly convenient product.
These packs are often seen as a means to carry extra items which you either can’t or don’t want to carry in your pockets. They prevent you from having to take a bag or a backpack and allow you to take something a lot more light and compact.
Q: Can The Fanny Pack Be Concealed?
A: For many people they see the fanny pack as a security item and therefore would want to be able to hide your valuables from anyone who could possibly steal them. Most fanny packs would be able to be worn under your clothes so could be hidden.
Whether this would be comfortable or not would be another matter. These packs can generally be held quite close to your body and strapped on tight with the harness. Many of them also have a secret pocket at the back to give extra security.
Q: What Are The Benefits Of Wearing A Fanny Pack?
A: As we mentioned there, one of the reasons that people like to wear fanny packs is due to the peace of mind that they get knowing that their valuables are close by. Having them in your pockets or your bag can make them much more liable to theft.
They are also highly convenient and allow your arms to be free while not having to worry about carrying any other form of bag. They are a great feature for the likes of hiking and traveling where you want essential items close by without needing a backpack.
Q: Are Fanny Packs Outdated?
A: There was a time where fanny packs were seen as a very common item and one which you would see all the time when out there in the center of a city. It’s no secret though that their popularity plummeted and became a fashion faux-pas.
There seems to have been a change in the last few years of practical items regaining in popularity and this is definitely the case with the fanny pack. They were outdated once but have very much come back in style.
Fanny packs are an item that will be able to make any activity that you are doing a lot easier. You might be heading out for a walk when you are on a camping trip, traveling around the work or planning a short hike in the day.
Whatever you are going to be buying your fanny pack for, they are going to be able to give you a high level of convenience. They can be made differently for different purposes though and therefore it’s important to make sure that you are getting a product which is able to match what you want to do.
In order to do that, you want to look at how much storage space that it has, the type of pockets that is features, the weight of the bag, how waterproof it is and whether or not it has other features such as having holders for water bottles.
Security is also a big issue for many and having a bag which is going to sit close to your body, has hidden pockets and features such as RFID blocking are going to be important. Being able to keep a close eye on your possessions can be very reassuring, especially when you are traveling.
You should now have all the knowledge that you need in order to choose the perfect fanny pack for you. They have roared back into fashion which is great news, as they are an item which is going to make your life easier and keep your essentials and your valuables in easy reach.

Here at Keenpac on the 14th February, Valentine’s day, we showed our support to local children’s charity Heart Link when we participated in wearing red as part of CHD (congenital heart defects) awareness week.
Heart Link (East Midlands Children’s Heart Care Association) Registered Charity No. 513946 was formed in 1981, as a support group for parents and families who had a child suffering from a heart defect. Over the years they have also become increasingly committed to improving facilities for our young patients, their families and providing much needed valuable medical equipment. every penny raised is used, in some way, to benefit the children and their families. We raised a total of £35.65 for the charity.
The team at Keenpac put in a fantastic effort and showed great charitable spirit.

A fantastic adventure following the story of Abbie, a deaf girl with a mysterious power, who is traveling across a vast desert to scatter her mother’s ashes.
In a world of sleeping gods, a broken government, and a fragile peace held in the hands of the corrupt, one youth must find the strength to stand up against evil and save humanity.
This story is not about that youth.
It’s about Abbie, who just wants to get to the mountain range called the Potter’s Spine, scatter her mother’s ashes, and then live out her life in sweet, blissful solitude. Unfortunately, everyone she meets wants to whine at her about their woes, tag along on her quest, arrest her for no reason, or blow her to bits.
Journeys are hard on the social recluses of the world.
This is a cute little story, but not a whole lot happens here. Abbie is found wandering in the desert, injured, and is taken in by a family in the local town. This town is also targeted by thugs with super powers who basically take what they want, when they want it, because they are clearly superior due to their super powers. Abbie helps the town out with the latest group of thugs, and then decides to continue on with her own journey. And that's about it. Of course, there's a bit more to it, but spoilers! The art has a definite manga feel to it, but sometimes it's a little vague about what's going on. Personally, I wish that there had been a little more substance to the story, as I'm not all that invested in either the characters or where they are going, and this may just be me, but I really wish I at least had a hint as to what the title means, because as far as I could tell, there wasn't any clue anywhere in the book.

Upwards of 360 million photos are uploaded every day to Facebook. But are you still posting pics like it's 2006?
From creating a disappearing profile photo to stopping the Facebook app altering your images when you upload them, here are eight pro tips you seriously need to know.
Want to make sure a friend of a friend doesn't see pictures from the outing you didn't invite them to?
On Facebook, once you've tagged someone, click on the audience drop-down menu. Next select More Options and click Custom. In the "Custom privacy" pop-up that will appear, uncheck the "Friends of tagged" option.
For iPhone users it's a little more simple. Once you've selected an image and added the tagged name, just tap at the top of your screen on the "To:" section.
You can now uncheck the Friends of Tagged option to keep the image more private.
A new feature is gradually being rolled out to everyone on Facebook called Featured Photos, which lets you select five images to showcase yourself, or as Facebook phrases it, "to help people get to know you better."
These images appear in a collage on your Facebook mobile profile for an at-a-glance look at you.
If you have access to this functionality, you'll see the option to "Add featured photos" in the "Intro" section of your Facebook profile page on Web or mobile.
Simply click the link and you can select five images from all your previous Facebook uploads.
It's important to note you can't change the privacy levels of your featured photos. They are public by default.
You want your Facebook images, especially your profile and cover photos, to look their best. It's therefore handy to know what the ideal dimensions are.
Your cover photo displays at 851 pixels by 315 pixels, so don't use an image smaller than that. Profile pics are squared off at 160 pixels x 160 pixels.
Facebook states that "supported sizes" for regular photos are widths of 720 pixels, 960 pixels, and 2048 pixels. High-quality uploads are recommended for 2048-pixel pics.
While a quick, behind-the-scenes, algorithmic fix on your average snapshot isn't a disaster, you may not want the Facebook app to "auto-enhance" every image you upload.
The auto-enhance process can change a photo's light levels and clarity, so if you're trying to get arty, you may want to turn this functionality off.
IPhone users need to tap "More" at the bottom right of their phone's screen, scroll down to see Settings then select Account Settings. From there, tap on Videos and Photos, then toggle the Apply Auto filter to off.
Android users also need to head to their App Settings menu, then tap "Enhance photos automatically" below Photos.
In order to upload decent-quality images to Facebook, and not fall victim to its evil image compression tactics, you have to create a new album.
Simply check the "High quality" option as you make the new album, and all photos you upload to that album will be at a higher resolution than piecemeal uploads.
It's possible to share your Facebook photo albums so others can add images to them. Just be careful before you do: Your family members might lack your discretion and curation when selecting vacation photos to share.
To create a collaborative album, go to an album you've already created and look for the "Change to Shared Album" option towards the top right of your screen. In the pop-up box that appears, add the names of Facebook friends you'd like to allow to contribute images.
At this stage you can also hit the drop-down arrow to adjust the album's privacy, i.e., if you'd like the contributor's friends to be able to see the album too. Once you've clicked on Save, your album will be shared.
Alternatively, if you're creating a new album from scratch that you want to share, check the "Make Shared Album" option and add friends' names in the box that appears.
Did you know you can change your profile picture temporarily? You can set an image to "expire" and revert back to your previous pic after a certain time period.
Whether you want to do it to show support for a sports team, or to mark an event or meaningful date, it's an easy-to-use feature available to iPhone and Android users.
In the Facebook app tap on your profile picture, select Upload Photo and choose the image you'd like to use. Now click the Make Temporary option and set how long you want the image to display.
Finally, when you're using the Facebook app, there's a quick way to add a filter effect to an image before you post it.
Select the image you want, tap Done, then swipe the screen to cycle through the filter options and see previews.

Some married men feel a need to tell those close to them that they’re attracted to men. Other men decide to keep these feelings separate from their wives or family. Its your choice how to handle your situation.
You are the best person to predict how people would react if you told them, and only you can know how you would be affected by keeping quiet. Many men have difficulty deciding which approach is best. The simple answer is there is no simple answer. If you’re not 100% sure, don’t do it. Wait until you’re certain it’s the right thing for you, because once you’ve told someone close to you, things are unlikely to be quite the same ever again.
It’s obviously important to consider the impact on wives, children and other family members. But it’s equally important to consider your own needs and feelings. Sometimes, men work out compromises with their wives which suit both people. Other men (or their heterosexual partners) prefer to make a clean break.
Whatever you do, take your time to consider your next move. If you tell your partner, you may be expected to move out straight away, do you have somewhere else to stay? Can you afford two homes? What about any children, who will they stay with? Are you planning on moving in with a male partner? Will your change of status cause problems for you within your employment, faith, circle of friends etc.? These are just a few things to think about.
Whatever you decide to do, remember this: your not alone, your not the first man to be in this position and certainly wont be the last. Thats where we come in. Contact us, we may be of some help, certainly we'll be on your side whatever you decide to do.

Many of the tour players commented on high much they enjoyed the course, even if they didn’t play well. It is a treat to play on greens like that “Dennis Slezak”, I enjoyed it. Stand by for announcements concerning our next event and till then keep it in the short grass.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says distracted driving is still under-reported, and he is urging Congress to enact a national law against texting while driving. "We have to be able to get people to understand that this is very, very dangerous behavior," he says. Distracted driving has been LaHoods signature issue. Thirty five states and the District of Columbia now have bans on texting while driving. "When we started three years ago with distracted driving, it was not on anybodys radar," he says. "Only eight states had (texting bans)."
The article goes on to state that two separate studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that bans on handheld cell phones and on texting had not reduced crashes. "While theres no question that cell phone use and especially texting by drivers is distracting, theres no evidence that laws enacted so far have cut crashes," IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. But LaHood says that when such laws are diligently enforced as they were during National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) studies in Syracuse, N. Y., and Hartford, Conn. crashes do go down.
Meanwhile, NHTSA is changing the way it measures fatalities related to distracted driving, using a narrower, more focused definition that will enable local police officers to more accurately pinpoint distraction as a factor in crashes. Previously, among distracted driving fatalities, NHTSA listed deaths caused by careless driving or those in which a cell phone was merely present in the vehicle; those categories have been removed from its new category, "distraction affected crashes."
LaHood compares the new approach to the way NHTSA changed its methodology in 2006 on drunken driving crashes. Prior to 2006, any crash in which a driver, pedestrian or bicyclist had a blood alcohol level of .-01 or higher was an "alcohol-related crash." In 2006, the agency began using the measure "alcohol-impaired driving crashes," to include only those in which a driver or motorcyclist had a blood alcohol level of .-08 or higher.
in-creased from 0.6 percent in 2009 to 0.9 percent in 2010; handheld cell phone use remained steady at 5 percent.
"Distracted driving, we believe, is still under-reported," LaHood says. LaHood also will announce that updated data shows there were 3-2,885 traffic fatalities in 2-010, the lowest level since 1-949. Early projections from NHTSA in March had found 3-2,788 road deaths. There were 1-0,228 drunken-driving deaths in 2-010, down 4.9 percent from 2-009.

776 Credit Score - Is it Good or Bad? What does it mean in 2019?
Your credit score is the gateway to having the ability to borrow from just about anywhere for just about anything. If you do not have the cash on hand for the item that you want, having credit allows you to get the specific item that you want and have a payment plan that allows you to pay for it over time. That’s why people are wondering is 776 credit score “good” or “bad”, because if you do not have a good credit score, it is important to improve it so that you have this ability. Not only that, but also the ability to rent where you would like, purchase large things such as cars and homes and many other factors. A good credit score is the basis that these decisions for giving credit are made off of.
Is 776 credit score good or bad?
Credit scores generally range from 300 to 850, but can differ depending on the credit reporting agency. Having a 776 credit score is great and some may even say excellent. This is a very high credit score and it shows that you care about the items that you have purchased on credit, have paid them off in time and have made all of the necessary payments. You did not default on anything and you did not have to worry about not being able to make the monthly payments. This shows that you are less likely to default if someone were to give you a new loan. It shows that you are trustworthy and reliable.
In terms of pros, a 776 credit score shows that you are a trustworthy, reliable borrower and that you would be ideal to loan money too for mortgage loans, vehicle loans, credit cards, lines of credit and a wealth of other money loaning services offered through various financial institutions.
What happens if your 776 score goes up or down?
If the 776 score gets lower then the individual will want to look into many factors that might have caused a negative impact on the score such as just opening a new account, defaulting on a loan, being late with payments or using too much of the available credit that they have. When either of these is a problem, you can fix it according to the issue. Paying down your credit usage, making on time payments, catching up with the defaulted loan or waiting out new accounts until they become older are all fixes. Hard credit checks can also negatively impact your score, so it is important to note that these will go away with time.
750 and higher – This is thought of as great or excellent credit and because your 776 FICO score is in this range you shouldn’t have an issue borrowing loans or getting lines of credit. They can work on their scores to get them higher, though generally scores do not go over 850.
What affects 776 credit score negatively?
When dealing with a credit score, any negative information will cause it to get lowered. This is not ideal for anyone. However, there are many ways that a person can work to boost their credit score and make it more positive. Even though you are at a 776 FICO credit score, you can still maintain or even grow that score by following some credit-worthy tips.
There are numerous ways to help your credit score when you feel like you want to keep it where it is or even boost it. When you do this, you are better able to control and handle the debt that you have while also making sure that your payments are in on time and that you don’t have to worry about the negative impact that these have on your 776 score.
What can a 776 credit score get you?
Credit cards are open with limits based on the individuals income level for this person with this score. Many of the cards out there will work with those that have less than perfect scores, as well but come with higher interest rates. This is an excellent score according to many of the credit card companies and they do not limit anyone that has a score this high. This allows anyone with 776 FICO credit score to choose any card that they feel the most comfortable using, with any bank of their choice. However, income limits do apply and the person must respond with how much they make.
Personal loans are ideal to have for many reasons and they can be a life saver in a time of need. When a personal loan is required, those with a 776 credit score can easily apply and get approved for them when they have a specific amount of income. Income is required for any and all personal loans, so it is important to speak with the bank regarding the income restrictions, as well as the application requirements for how much would be approved for the individual to borrow and then use.
Auto loans are one of the easiest loans to qualify for, but the interest rates that you would get with less than perfect credit as compared to a 776 credit score vastly differ. When applying for an auto loan, you will be approved for it but you will have to show income verification and you will generally have a better interest rate on the loan than someone else would. This is a great way to find out how much you can qualify for based off your income limits. Find the lowest 776 credit score auto loan rate.
Mortgages are ideal to have when a person wants to purchase a first home, a second home or even a vacation home. For those that want to use the home for other purposes, this loan would be ideal. When the person has a 776 FICO score, they are then able to qualify for a wide variety of mortgage loans. They have to provide proof of income, but as far as the credit score, you should have no issue. Just ensures that your debt to income ratio is lower.
Home loans are ideal to have when you would like to have home improvements done. When this is the case, showing proof of your income, as well as your 776 credit score should be enough to ensure that you have the loan that is needed for your home. You can rest assured knowing that the bank is going to work with someone that has a high FICO credit score such as 776 when asking for a home loan.
How to improve your 776 credit score?
Keep in mind, your credit score of 776 is excellent so you have been doing a good job all along at maintaining a great score. Keep up the good work and you should not have to worry about your score going down.

Now I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to understand this one or if anyone will ever be able to explain it to me, but I guess it’s just how sports goes some time. Maybe you’ll be able to enlighten me in the comments.
After warming up in pre-game the San Antonio Spurs decided to hold Kawhi Leonard out of their Game 6 match up against the Houston Rockets, Remember Leonard twisted an ankle in the Spurs Game 5 win and was considered a game time decision coming into Game 6. Now the Spurs did have a game in hand as they where up three games to two coming into Game 6 and they would play a Game 7 on their home court. Now with everything looking to be lined up for the Rockets to go out and get a win and force a Game 7; what happens. San Antonio goes out and not only wins the game, but blows Houston out by 39 points 114-75. Now remember the Spurs did this without what many experts believe is the best two-way player in the NBA in Leonard, but they’re also missing starting point guard Tony Parker.
Now as I’m wondering how this happened I started looking into the box score for answers. Of course what jumps right out is the terrible night James Harden had. Harden was 2 for 11 shooting on the night; added into that was the 2 for 9 from behind the 3-point line. Not only did Harden have an off night shooting the basketball he also had 6 turnovers in the game and ended up fouling out. Harden is the Rockets best player and an M.V.P. candidate so we’re going to look at him first in a loss like this, but he wasn’t the only reason Houston lost. The Rockets went 22 for 77 (28.6%) from the field in the game and actually shot a better percentage (32.5%) from behind the 3-point line going 13 for 40. Houston even had an off night from the free throw line going 18 for 25 or hitting 72% of their free throws.
Now the Rockets are the model of the new style of NBA play where a team will actually pass up and open 2-point shot to get a good look at a 3-pointer. I’m sure if you watched any of this series you heard someone use the term trading two’s for three’s; which is what the Rockets are willing to do with their offense. Now when they’re making their 3-point shots Houston is one of the toughest team in the NBA to beat. Just look at Game 1 a 126-99 win and Game 4 a 125-104 win. Of course when you’re not hitting your 3’s you get beat by 39 points and knocked out of the playoffs.
The Rockets are obviously building their team in the style of the Golden State Warriors who the Spurs will face in the Western Conference finals starting Sunday. What do you think the Rockets have to do to take the next step and be an NBA title contender?
Now we are going to get a Game 7 in this round of the playoffs, but it’s the Washington Wizards and the Boston Celtics who are going to give us that Game 7.
Now it took six games, but there was finally a close game in this series. John Wall hit a Game 6 winning 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to give Washington a 92-91 win and send this series to a Game 7. Wall jumped up on the scorers table, popped his jersey and yelled at his home fans as the game ended. Believe it or not this is the first game in this series that has been decided by less than 10 points.
In another bit of odd NBA scheduling these two teams will meet in Game 7 on Monday night. That means the Western Conference finals will already be underway before we know which one of these teams will move on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals. The home team has won every game in this series; so you’d think the Celtics would have an advantage going into Game 7, but you never know.
The Western Conference finals in the NHL got started last night. It took overtime, but the Nashville Predators got a 3-2 win on the road over the Anaheim Ducks.
Jakob Silfverberg got the first goal of the series and gave Anaheim a 1-0 lead unassisted 5:15 into the 1st period. Nashville was able to tie the game at 1-1 at 12:34 of the period. Filip Forsberg scored the Predators goal with assists from Matthew Irvin and Ryan Johansen. Just 2:42 into the 2nd period the Predators took a 2-1 lead on a goal by Austin Watson. Watson was assisted by Johansen and Mattias Ekholm. That turned out to be the only goal of the 2nd period. Now there was only one goal scored in the 3rd period, but this time it was Anaheim who scored the goal to tie the game at 2-2. Hampus Lindholm scored with an assist from Nate Thompson with 7:21 gone in the 3rd period. John Gibson (Anaheim) and Pekka Rinne (Predators) didn’t let anything else into the net and we where headed to overtime. The game went 9:24 into overtime before P.K. Subban and Ekholm assisted on James Neal game winning goal to give Nashville a 3-2 Game 1 win and a one game to none lead in the series.
The series will stay in Anaheim for Game 2 on Sunday night while Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals starts tonight as the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Ottawa Senators.
If your a UFC fan it looks as though there will finally be a rematch between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier. Officials announced on Friday that a light heavyweight title fight between Cormier and Jones to UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, California.
Jones (22-1) defeated Cormier (19-1) in a light heavyweight title defense in January 2015. He never defended the belt again, however, as the UFC stripped him of the title later that year for legal reasons. Jones plead guilty to a hit-and-run in 2015. A rematch was originally scheduled in April 2016, but Cormier was forced to pull out with an injury. The matchup was rebooked to headline UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas, but Jones was pulled from the event three days before due to a failed drug test. Cormier, who won the vacant title in 2015 and has defended it twice, admitted he is anxious Jones won’t make it to the fight again. He specifically brought up Jones’ history of cocaine use. Jones tested positive for cocaine prior to defeating Cormier in 2015.
UFC president Dana White, who did not attend the news conference, later said the 205-pound title fight will headline the pay-per-view event, which will take place at Honda Center. According to White, the UFC intends to book Jimi Manuwa on the card in case something happens with Jones. Manuwa’s opponent is to be determined.
Are you excited to see this rematch?

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says Canada has not been asked to contribute to any kind of military buildup around Korea. He says the Liberal government prefers to concentrate on diplomacy and would not discuss the country's obligations under the armistice that ended the first Korean War in 1953.
Should the tense standoff on the Korean Peninsula escalate into war, the United Nations could come calling on Canada for a military commitment.
There are reports that China has put its air force units along the North Korean border on heightened alert, and South Korea has moved its military to a heightened state of readiness over the possibility that the regime in Pyongyang will conduct another missile test, following a failed attempt last week.
China quickly denied the reports on Friday, but the buildup, which multiple media reports say could also include Russian forces, comes as a U.S. aircraft carrier strike force now moves towards Korean waters.
Rear Admiral Jim Kilby, commander of Carrier Strike Group One posted the news on social media. Last week, the White House said the task force was on its way to Korean waters when it, in fact, was not.
Canada fought under the UN in the Korean War and is part of an organization known as the United Nations Command, or UNC, which came out of the 1953 armistice that ended three years of brutal fighting between North and South Korea.
There was never a formal peace treaty and the two nations have remained technically at war for over six decades.
North Korea warns of nuclear attack on U.S.
"Diplomacy is the one thing we need to focus on first, because at the end of the day you could be putting soldiers' lives at risk," Sajjan said from Mumbai, India, in a conference call with reporters in Ottawa.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently expressed concern about what North Korean leader Kim Jong-un might do next.
"We are worried about the dangerous and unstable North Korean regime — period," Trudeau said on April 10 while in Normandy, concluding visits to Canadian First and Second World War battlefields.
"This rogue regime in North Korea is a danger not only to the immediate region but the entire world," Trudeau said.
Sajjan said he has been in close touch with U.S. Defence Secretary James Mattis and they spoke specifically about the escalating tensions in Korea.
If the shooting starts, the United States-South Korea Combined Forces Command would take the lead in the initial stage of fighting, but policy documents prepared for former defence minister Peter MacKay in 2010 say reinforcements could be assembled using the existing, decades-old UN framework.
"The UNC structure would be used as a means of force-generating, and receiving and tasking any contributions that UNC sending states may choose to contribute in the event of a crisis," said the document, originally obtained and published by The Canadian Press.
The Department of National Defence confirmed on Friday that Canada remains part of the organization because it was one of the original 17 countries that took part in the fighting.
Six members of the Canadian Armed Forces are currently serving with the UNC.
But unlike NATO, there is no binding, clear-cut obligation for Canada to join a potential military action in Korea.
Sajjan said National Defence has, regardless of the situation, "done prudent planning" for possible crises.
"Our military will always play a responsible role, and the responsible role right now is to allow diplomacy to work," Sajjan said. "And, I'm very happy to see China, who has significant influence over North Korea, is actually taking concrete efforts in this regard."
Over the past few weeks, in response to the rising rhetoric of U.S. President Donald Trump, Chinese media has suggested Beijing has the option of halting crude oil shipments to North Korea — something that would put enormous pressure on Kim's regime. But a major Chinese newspaper said on Friday that China, by itself, cannot force North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
Trump ratcheted up the pressure on China with a Tweet Friday morning that read: "China is very much the economic lifeline to North Korea so, while nothing is easy, if they want to solve the North Korean problem, they will."

President Emmanuel Macron has called for a “recomposition” of political groupings within the European Parliament and indicated that he is likely to found a new Europe-wide party based on the movement that brought him to power.
The French leader confirmed his intention to transpose the method that disrupted French politics on to the European political scene, in the first wide-ranging press conference since his election.
“Europe needs a political recomposition if we are to make progress,” Mr Macron told 120 members of the Presidential Press Association this week. He said greater unity is need to address migration, banking union, the transition to renewable energy, digital technology and defence.
An EU-wide party similar to Mr Macron’s La République En Marche would bring together moderates from both left and right, as well as environmentalists.
The French president said contradictions within the European People’s Party, of which Fine Gael is a member, and the Party of European Socialists, are blocking progress.
An Italian correspondent took Mr Macron to task for comparing Mr Berlusconi to Mr Orbán, the leader of an increasingly obstreperous bloc of former east European countries. Mr Macron said the far-right Northern League and Brothers of Italy, Berlusconi’s allies in the March 4th Italian elections, were “not representative of Christian Democracy” either.
“In reality, the EPP is no longer a Christian Democratic party, but a combination of the Christian Democratic right and a more authoritarian, nationalist right,” Mr Macron said.
But Mr Macron’s “red line” looks increasingly fictional. Some analysts took the words “banned by the treaties” to mean that France distinguishes between chlorine and neurotoxic sarin. Though it can be lethal, chlorine is not always considered a weapon because it also has industrial uses.
One week earlier, French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said “all indications are today that chlorine is being used by the regime in Syria”.
Mr Macron also stressed that “the priority is the fight against terrorists, the jihadists”. He called for an international meeting on Syria to be held in the region.
France does not want French jihadists captured in Iraq and Syria to be repatriated. But if the Iraqi government condemns French citizens to death, Paris will attempt to have their sentences commuted to life in prison, Mr Macron said.
Turning to domestic policies, Mr Macron said he was not concerned by polls showing that a strong majority of the population do not believe he will increase their purchasing power.
Chronic, structural unemployment of about 9 per cent in France was a “scandal”, Mr Macron continued. “We are the only great economy of Europe that has sunk into mass unemployment for the past three decades.” After he spoke, the statistics institute Insee reported that French unemployment had fallen to 8.7 per cent, its lowest since 2009.
Mr Macron ended confusion about his plan to establish “universal national service”, saying it would be obligatory for men and women, civil or military, and would last from three to six months.
Mr Macron had promised there would be no one sleeping rough in France by the end of last year. “We failed because there are fragile populations not reached by public policies, and because there was strong migratory pressure,” he said.
Mr Macron addressed accusations of sexual aggression against two of his cabinet ministers for the first time. He said he could not have known of cases dismissed before they were appointed. He warned against a “republic of suspicion” and said that when media “end up destroying those who exercise power, without principle or limits, it is not a balanced democracy”.

On December 2nd residents of the Women’s care Cottage received letters that they are losing their shelter housing. I know this because I spent the day talking to these women about what to do next. I did not see the information on their web site.http://www.womenscarecottage.org/.
1. Call your eligibility worker and go into the DPSS office with the letter in your hand.
6. Talk to your GAIN worker about the TSE program and a Vocational Assessment. If the barrier between you and permanent housing is money, work with your GAIN worker to find employment.
They are not closed as of yet, when you go the next time, look for someone in charge and see if you can get more information. I drive by the WCC on my way to work every day, I plan to stop in the offices this week, or to ask at Homeless Connect Day in Glendale this Wednesday. You and your friends are very sweet and wonderful to help these ladies out.

The concept and characters were initially introduced in two episodes of the CBS series JAG (season eight episodes "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown"). The show, a spin-off from JAG, premiered on September 23, 2003, on CBS. To date it has aired for eleven full seasons and has gone into broadcast syndication on USA Network. Donald P. Bellisario is co-creator, along with Don McGill, as well as executive producer. As such, the series is the second member of the NCIS/JAG franchise.NCIS was originally referred to as Navy NCIS during season one; "Navy" was later dropped from the title. In season six, a two-part episode led to a spin-off series, NCIS: Los Angeles. A two-part episode in season eleven led to a second spin-off series, NCIS: New Orleans.
In 2011, NCIS was voted America’s favorite television show.The series finished its tenth season as the most-watched television series in the U.S. during the 2012–13 TV season.

I need to remove a category that has been used on existing approved reports. What will happen to the existing reports?
Hi @laurie_baker, welcome to the Community! When you delete a category that is applied to existing expenses the category will remain on the expense. But, if it's on a report the expense will be highlighted in red that the category is out of policy. This simply means that the category used on the specific expense isn't a category listed in the policy at that time.
Admin can update the categories on submitted expenses at any time, so deleting a category shouldn't be a problem. If you run into other questions let us know!
Hi @AmyJ it looks like you may have accidentally imported the header row.
What happens if you hit the little 'x' at the end of the row in the Categories tab?
If I hit the red x it will delete then immediately show up again.
Hi @AmyJ, thanks for confirming that. Do you still have the original file you uploaded to create your categories? If so, I'd recommend uploading it once more, making sure to check the box that Rachael pointed out in her response above.
If this issue continues after uploading your categories again, please let me know!
You're welcome Amy, have a great day!
Hi @ProvenCate I have actually seen this before and I think it's an issue with that apostrophe. The system doesn't actually think those categories exist anymore.
I recommend you export all to CSV, and then when you have a 'safety copy' let us know, and we can clear all the categories completely. Then you can reupload the ones you want to keep.

THE IRON LADY—-yet another feather in the brightly stuffed bonnet of Meryl Streep, this 2011 biographical pass at the life (and dubious achievements) of Margaret Thatcher earned The World’s Foremost Thespian her 17th Oscar nomination and third win. The effective Makeup also copped one of the little gold guys, in a certainly interesting drama, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, co-starring Jim Broadbent as Mag’s husband.
Critically, while plaudits went to Streep’s uncanny impersonation, both friends and enemies of the demented old bat fierce, unyielding political legend were unhappy with what was suggested and what was left out. No fan of Thatcher (she can rot), I watched with gritted teeth, but credit marvelous Meryl with outstanding work.
With Iain Glen, Olivia Colman and the always engaging Richard E. Grant. It drew $115,000,000 from inheritors of the Thatcher-wounded planet. 105 minutes.

I have an old domain (old.com) that I would like to redirect visitors to a new domain (new.com) which is the main site of a multisite install.
This should just display the new.com site, right?
As a troubleshooting measure, I have setup a temporary sub site within the multisite (old.new.com) and this seems to have worked, but this is not my goal. Old.com should just point to new.com.
What is the best way for me to point Old.com to new.com.
Don't know who your domain provider is, but instead of setting up an A record, have you thought about forwarding the domain from the old URL to the new one?
The issue is not so much the forwarding of old.com, its what happens when it get to new.com.
Unlike a subsite, the main site of a domain mapped multisite does not have any options for domain mapping under the >Tools menu.
So where you could set multiple domains to resolve to a subsite, in the plugin options, on the main site you cant.
Or at least I dont know how?
Also, just to add to the above, though it may be related.
The old.com still has necessary dns records ( such as mx entries for emails).
So a simple forward old.com to new.com will not work because with my current dns host, if you forward the domain, it INCLUDES all of the dns entries. so this option is not doable.
You are right, adding record for old.com and point to dedicated IP of new.com, should show the site of new.com.
But here, the problem is you are using domain mapping plugin. So, if any domain other than new.com point to same IP, the plugin thinks the domain is mapped. But when the plugin doesn't get the mapped domain, then it thinks you have come here to register. And as registration is disabled, you are seeing this message. Hope it makes sense.
If it sill doesn't work, then you need to add the domain old.com as an add-on domain in the same hosting of new.com and then add a redirect in the cpanel to redirect the site into old.com (almost similar to what you have now using subdomain).

We're close to many amenities, including Safeway, AT&T Ballpark, China Basin, many restaurants, etc. We look forward to hosting you!
No smoking. No alcohol. No pets.
Great room for our meeting. Thank you!
My team had a great time using the conference room for their team offsite. Lisa was really responsive and helpful in making the booking as easy as possible. Thanks Lisa!
Space was great. There was a bit of an electrical issue & Lisa reached out right away and was able to get a room that would work for us. Very helpful, thanks for a great experience!
The space was pretty accurate to the description. I wish the lighting was better (especially when we used the whiteboard). The access descriptionn was well written but the space itself is hard to get through, and there's a keycode for the restrooms and the doors everytime you want to go in so that got kind of annoying. I wasn't sure what to do when I checked out because I couldn't find check out instructions so hoping everything was okay on that front. Otherwise, it was a pretty easy booking.
excellent location, lots of space, really open. loved it.
Great experience and excellent, fast communication. Would definitely book again.
Everything was as described. The team I booked the space for had everything they needed for their meeting, including extra chairs to accommodate for a couple extra people. Nice location for guests coming from different areas and modes of transportation.

Israel's one state reality greeted us at the gates of the Gaza-Rafah crossing when we were asked by the Egyptian officer to present our Haweyah (Palestinian IDs) in order to be allowed through. It is not like we weren't expecting this request, we knew that it would come down to this even though our Australian passports clearly showed Gaza as our place of birth we were still not considered Palestinian nationals in our own home city. Rather, we were treated like foreigners who needed an almost impossible amount of bureaucratic red tape designed to discourage the likes of us of ever thinking of visiting loved ones back home.
Allow me to explain: Since Israel's establishment it has used the system of ID cards to differentiate between its Jewish and non-Jewish residents and citizens, a distinction needed in order to apply its apartheid discriminatory policies of separate and unequal treatment. When Israel occupied Gaza and the West Bank in 1967, its Interior Ministry began to also issue ID cards to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. By 1982, Israel passed the Identity Card Carrying and Displaying Act requiring all residents of Israel both inside its 1948 borders and inside the green line in the Occupied Territories, who are over 16 years of age, to carry at all times these ID cards and to present them upon request to the authorities.
Israeli citizens' ID cards come in blue plastic casing with the Israeli Coat of Arms on the outer cover. Palestinians prior to the establishment of the Palestinian Authority had orange casings in the West Bank and red casings in the Gaza Strip both with the IDF insignia embossed on the outer cover highlighting Israel's military control. Palestinians in the Occupied Territories who were forbidden entry into Israel's 1948 borders had green casings.
After the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority and as part of the creation of the illusion of progress, the Palestinian National Authority was handed some limited inconsequential powers. These included issuing Palestinian residents with ID cards. A pointless exercise given that the power to issue these cards hinged on Israel's approval, which was selectively given. Not only that, Israel continues to this day to control the Palestinian population registry and to assign the actual ID numbers provided for the Palestinian ID cards; the all-important cards required to enter Gaza and the West Bank.
Much has been written about how the system of ID cards is used as a weapon to further cement the fragmentation of the Palestinian population as it confines the Palestinians to their geographic Israeli-controlled Bantustans, forbidding Palestinians with Gaza IDs entry into the West Bank and Jerusalem and vice versa. But perhaps the worst and most insidious effect this system has is in the way it is designed to control and monitor the movement of all Palestinians and to curb the Palestinian population by denying their diaspora the right to come home even if for a short visit.
As we stood at the Rafah crossing, we were confronted with this reality. The Egyptian officer insisted that only Palestinians with the Israeli-controlled Palestinian ID cards are allowed to use this crossing. These orders are a result of an unforgivable move, one of many, that were made by the Palestinian National Authority when in 2005, Palestinian negotiators led by Mohammed Dahlan (a Fatah leader with strong links to Israel and the US) signed an agreement with Israel on movement and access from and to Gaza. One of the conditions they agreed to was restricting the use of the Rafah crossing to Palestinian ID card holders. It is hard to fathom why the Palestinian Authority would have agreed to such an inhumane condition which in reality means that Gazan residents would be cut off from loved ones in exile.
After seven hours of waiting at the Rafah border and after exhausting every connection, every phone number, every thread of hope and every possibility, we managed to make it through. Once inside Gaza, it became abundantly clear that despite Hamas' visible presence inside the city and the endless waves of green flags, we had arrived into an Israeli controlled Bantustan. The currency used here is the new Israeli Shekel, the IDs all the residents carry are issued by the Israeli interior ministry, all births go through the Israeli national registry, the essential products are all Israeli in this captive market. As I type this to the sound of the Israeli F16 hovering in the sky above, and as I look at the sea patrolled by Israeli cruisers, I am convinced that I am now inside Israel's one state reality in a Bantustan they call Gaza.

It’s a bold claim, but when the man making it has 11 WSL World Titles under his belt and is widely recognised as the best surfer ever to have stepped on a board, who are we to disagree?
Footage of Nathan Florence (John John’s younger brother) paddling into this insane Teahupo’o wave emerged just this week and none other than Kelly Slater himself claimed it was “hands-down, the best wave paddled ever at Teahupo’o in my book”.
Which given the iconic status of the wave itself – and the number of incredible sessions that have gone down here over the years – is quite a claim.

The RSP team recently took part in a briefing day organised by the University of Derby to kick off a pilot project for their new Open Access Repository, UDORA.
Richard Finch, Academic Services Manager for the University Library, welcomed everyone and provided us with the background to the project. Jackie Wickham from RSP provided an overview of Open Access, our colleague, Jane Smith from Romeo and Juliet then introduced to ROMEO and JULIET and described how they can be used to identify what is required by in relation to making publications Open Access and also the policies of publishers in relation to this. Copyright issues and publisher’s policies had been identified as a primary concern for participants going into the briefing day and they seemed pleasantly surprised to hear that many publishers allow some form of Open Access deposit.
In addition to the contributions from RSP, ROMOE and JULIET the briefing day also included a session from BioMed Central Open Repository who gave a walkthrough of the Open Repository software that participants in the Pilot would be using.
As a new member of the RSP team it was really interesting to hear the concerns of academics in relation to Open Access firsthand, and I was very pleased to note the enthusiasm with which the attendees engaged with the both the benefits of depositing their work in an Open Access Repository and also the challenges to doing so. The event was quite informal and questions were welcomed throughout the event. Questions revealed the natural concerns of the academics dealing with the issues surrounding Open Access, many for the first time. One questioner was concerned that providing Open Access to his publications prior to publication might encourage plagiarism, or the appropriation of their underlying idea. This led to an interesting discussion which concluded that providing any access to your research (through traditional publishing models or Open Access) opens you up to these risks, but depositing pre-prints could allow you to stake your claim earlier in the process and actually help to tackle this issue. Other questions focused on copyright issues and publisher policies and participants were encouraged to make use of JISC’s copyright toolbox and the ROMEO and JULIET services. Discussion wasn’t limited to obstacles however, and during the break I joined some early career researchers enthusing about the potential citations implications for Open Access and the moral issues surrounding opening up research.
As a new member of the team I found this event to be a really interesting introduction to the RSP project and the issues and challenges our community face on a day to day basis. I’m looking forward to seeing the results of the pilot project and progress of the UDORA repository and wish the team there every success!
Have a look at this post from Bill Hubbard about a signifcant development in journal publishing. Bill heads up the Centre for Research Communications (where the RSP project is housed).
Guest post by Jackie Proven – Increasing repository content at St Andrews using MERIT data.
In 2010 the University of St Andrews implemented a new Research Information System (RIS) called PURE and we began developing strategies for increasing the full text content in our repository. Like most institutions we use various techniques such as presenting at staff events and enabling administrators to make deposits. We knew that getting good quality research outputs from high profile staff would help champion the cause, and so our Library Director suggested looking at the database of RAE 2008 submissions produced by the MERIT project.
Email relevant researchers with a bit of blurb about open access and offer to deposit these outputs on their behalf, suggesting at the same time they could add author versions of other publications.
Deposit the full text (which in our case just means adding the file to the metadata already in PURE, and validate for transfer to the repository).
We have also extended the workflow to look for other content using our RIS metadata. Having this visibility of authors, research outputs and related activity is very helpful to our advocacy efforts. As well as increasing content, it is proving to be a valuable way to start dialogue with our researchers.
