"I just survive from day to day, black dog trotting around behind me," she told 7.30.
Growing mortgage stress has led to consumer advocates calling for the banking royal commission, which meets for public hearings in Melbourne on Tuesday, to examine irresponsible mortgage lending and the way banks assess whether loans are affordable.
So, how did a woman in her late 60s on a nurse's salary manage to borrow so much money?
Ms Schmidt started investing in property years ago as a way of earning a passive income.
At one point she had 14 investment properties, most of them serviced by interest-only loans with half a dozen different lenders.
Her plan was to build a portfolio of investment properties and retire early — a strategy she had learned over years of attending wealth creation seminars.
It all seemed possible during WA's mining boom years.
But then the downturn came and her properties became harder to rent.
Today, instead of retiring early, Ms Schmidt is still working night shift as a nurse trying to service an enormous debt.
Many of her loans are thousands of dollars in arrears because she cannot meet the repayments.
"I'm exhausted. I'm so tired, I can't sleep," she said.
"I feel like a punchbag."
One of Ms Schmidt's most recent loans was taken out with Westpac four years ago through a mortgage broker.
Despite already owing the bank close to $ 1 million, at the age of 67 she managed to secure another loan for $360,000 to buy yet another investment property through her self-managed super fund.
She now sees how unrealistic her plan was.
"Oh, absolutely, but I relied upon the banks to work this out," she said.
"I relied upon the banks to sit down and work it all out with me."
The loan was approved after Ms Schmidt met Westpac's criteria, and the property was initially rented out but it later became vacant and lay empty for 18 months.
Now her payments are in arrears and Westpac is threatening to take possession of the property.
Ms Schmidt has taken her case to the Financial Ombudsman Service claiming the loan was unaffordable in the first place.
She claims she only saw three pages of the loan application form which she signed.
When she applied recently for the full form, she said she was shocked by its contents.
Ms Schmidt claims the document overstated her assets, including her superannuation, and underestimated her existing debts.
Westpac said privacy provision meant that it could not discuss individual customer issues.
"Westpac is investigating this matter and has been working with the Financial Ombudsman Service to ensure a fair outcome. Westpac has been in touch with the customer directly to offer hardship assistance and support at this time," it said a statement to 7.30.
"We take our responsible lending obligations seriously — it is not in our interest or our customers' interest to issue loans that cannot be repaid.
"We assess all interest-only loans on our customer's ability to make repayments for the life of the loan, including the principal and interest period.
"We are always looking at ways to enhance staff and external broker assessments of our customers' financial circumstances so we have a fuller picture of their ability to repay their loans in good times and in bad."
At the same time, Ms Schmidt is caught up in another dispute with WA members' bank, P&N.
P&N has repossessed two of her investment properties and has given her until April to pay her debts or lose her own home in Darlington.
The case is currently before the ombudsman.
From a cottage in WA's wheatbelt, veteran consumer advocate Denise Brailey is taking on the banks on behalf of distraught borrowers like Ms Schmidt.
"The point is the banks have a duty to ensure that they don't approve inappropriate loans," Ms Brailey said.
"From the income she had, they were using projected rentals to suggest she may afford it, but there were huge risks which were not explained to her at that time and should have been."
She is trying to negotiate with the banks to help Ms Schmidt keep her home.
"I think the solution is to try and get the banks involved to have a look at a process that might see her keep her home," Ms Brailey said.
P&N, which refinanced three of Ms Schmidt's Westpac loans in 2015, said it was committed to the principles of responsible lending.
"P&N Bank is unable to discuss the specifics of this particular matter. However, P&N Bank supports and is cooperating fully with the review currently being undertaken by the Financial Ombudsman Service and we look forward to its independent findings on this matter," a spokesperson said in a statement.
"As a responsible lender and customer-owned bank, P&N Bank takes its responsibilities to members very seriously and is resolute in its compliance with both its own internal standards and the regulatory requirements of both ASIC and APRA.
"When issues arise, P&N Bank works with its members to achieve a resolution that is fair and reasonable to all parties concerned."
The Australian Banking Association's Tony Pearson offered a word of warning for potential borrowers.
"I can't comment on the specific details of this case, but banks do take their responsible lending obligations very seriously," he said.
"We also would counsel borrowers, though, to be prudent in their borrowings and not to bite off more than they can chew."
Finance sector analyst Martin North runs a rolling household survey and has found that nationally more than 145,000 households will fall outside current interest-only assessment criteria when they come to reset their loans over the next four years.
The borrowers will either have to sell or switch to principal and interest.
He predicts this, and falling demand from investors generally, will have a big impact on the market.
"That is going to put significant downward pressure on property prices and my central case for the next 12 to 18 months is that we are going to see a 10 to 15 per cent drop in property prices directly as a result of this," Mr North said.
Ms Schmidt does have some equity in at least two of her remaining properties.
But there will little left for retirement once all her debts are paid.
"I've been pretty down and very humiliated, because I'm a fighter and I've tried very hard to do the right thing," she said.

(June 24, 2009) Falls Church, Virginia — Security cleared job board ClearedJobs.Net is launching its annual “Where in the world do you wear your ClearedJobs.Net T?” event to celebrate the end of a highly successful Cleared Job Fair season as well as to support and encourage its security cleared job seeking community during what can often be a challenging job market given the summer period.
The ClearedJobs.Net T-shirt has become an integral part of ClearedJobs.Net, its Cleared Job Fairs and its relationships with the community of security cleared job seekers. “We started providing T-shirts to job seekers at our Cleared Job Fairs in 2007 and it grew into a seasonal program with a new design each season. The T-shirts were first just given to our military community members to thank them for their service, but as more and more people saw them we realized anyone who wanted a shirt could get one,” says Kathleen Smith, Chief Marketing Officer for ClearedJobs.Net.
Special t-shirts designed for recruiters who are voted the Best Recruiters by the job seekers and are presented them at the Best Recruiter event at the end of the year.
After photos have been collected, they will be posted online and anyone can vote on the one winning photo that best represents “Where in the world do you wear your ClearedJobs.Net T?” theme. Last year’s winning entry was of a woman wearing her ClearedJobs.Net T-shirt while skydiving! Photo entries will be accepted from June 24, 2009 through August 24, 2009.
“Where in DC is this ClearedJobs.Net T?
ClearedJobs.Net team members will upload three photos of themselves at very specific locations in the Washington D.C. area. Each photo will be uploaded on the Facebook page and on Twit Pic so that interested parties can guess the person’s exact location in D.C. This aspect of the T-shirt promotion will be launched August 1, 2009.
There will be one winner for each of these two contests. Winners will win a $500 American Express gift card each and will be announced by Monday, August 31, 2009. Read complete information about this event.

From Bryan Talbot, who just released the second chapter of his Steampunk, 'funny animal', Holmesian mystery adventure 'Grandville Mon Amour', which I'll be reviewing soon.
This delightful interpretation of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol comes from Alice in Sunderland, a compulsively fascinating work of geographical history merged with fiction much like Alan Moore's experiments in From Hell and Voice of Fire to create a four dimensional architecture to a sense of place. Moore did it in From Hell to London and with his home town of Northampton in Voice of Fire, Talbot does it for his hometown of Sunderland with a special emphasis on Sunderland native son Lewis Carrol.
And here's Terry Gilliam's take, a grittier, more medieval interpretation. It's long, but try to stick with it to the introduction of the Jabberwocky himself, the giant puppetry prototypes of the practical effect monstrosities of Gilliam's dystopian classic Brazil. I know that by every objective standard the flashy CGI Jabberwocky of Tim Burton's Alice is more impressive but this creaky giant puppet made of wood and fabric fills me with joy.

I came in looking sharp throwing around my wide friendly smile and feeling confident. To get ahead of the story, I would like to mention that the coding part of the trial day was actually the simplest part. I was asked to sit down next to one of the most experienced developers in the company. I sat down and the challenge was accepted.
The next step was editing the code. Meet mister Vim – another Joker in the pot. All in all I got a grasp of all these new environment variables quite fast and completed given tasks at steady pace. Stepping out of the office I felt good as vacationer on the Bora Bora beach sand. I met awesome people (hadn’t seen so many friendly faces per square foot before) , completed all the tasks and learned so much in such a short period of time. All of this gave me the feeling that I’m going towards something very good and therefore I’ve been eager to step up every time a learning opportunity presents itself. Now with my time in Toggl I’ve coded in 7 different programming languages.
How do you get from two to seven? You take on challenges that’s how. I call it “raising the hand” when the opportunity comes on your way. With almost every new project that has been started, sooner or later I’ve joined. From time to time we have round table discussions about who volunteers to join one or another project. That’s how I joined the Toggl mobile app team, the Toggl Desktop applications team, the New Toggl team and even stepped into the Teamweek team for a while. In the end of the day, I couldn’t deny that my heart really belongs to Toggl and I rejoined the cast of Toggl once again. My last accepted challenge is the Toggl new desktop client. I’ve been working on it for about two weeks now and it is quite awesome if I may say myself (because I write awesome code you know).
So be bold, let the relationship with your comfort zone get cold and step outside of the box. It’s totally worth it. The new project or task might not always be something that you would like to do for a long period, but every new knowledge and experience contributes to a better and more experienced programmer.
This is the simple essence of self-programming. With every accepted challenge I’ve programmed myself to be better, faster, smarter.
Incidentally, it was a transparent post like this that finally moved me to become a paying Toggl user. I like to know that a dev team is working behind the scene on making their entire product suite great.
I like this post. Didn’t find it until now—a few months late—but nonetheless, it’s applicable to where I’m headed. Thanks much.
nice to hear from a new voice. Since you are working on Toggl desktop will a newer version work better in Windows 8? I run desktop mainly for use with the timeline feature on the web app but all applications show up as “undefined” I reported that a long time ago but wondering whether this is on the list to be fixed.
We know that the timeline feature is one of the key elements in the desktop app and will take it very seriously in the new version development.

There was a PDF option - and I've just turned it back on. However, it shouldn't be relied upon - I *think* it generates buggy Postscript.
Just brings up a blank window for me.
Seems to work here but loses the pics.
IMHO the PDF option isn't at all useful and should remain off.
It does seem a bit pointless to me really. email and print are fair enough but if pdf doesn't actually work properly then it's useless.
This is where I think I'll end up.
Thanks. Didn't mean to be a pain.
The email option seems similarly pointless to me. I don't see how copy-pasting an email address into the form that pops up is any more labour-saving that copy-pasting an article URL into an email.
I can see the value of print though. I'd prefer to ditch the icon and simply have something like 'print this article' or somesuch where the icon goes.
Yep - I'm sure the only one I ever used is print, but I have used that a few times. Same on recipes.
Sorry, I hadn't realized what the email option did. Agree that it's useless.
The PDF and email icons have gorn.

You want to update your weblog often with some new and authentic material. Relying on your personal availability you can do it on day-to-day, weekly or monthly foundation.

Don’t compose 7 posts every day for the duration of your initial 7 days of blogging and then leave your blog for weeks with out any new content material at all.
The much more you update your weblog with refreshing, first and fascinating info, the even bigger the opportunity for acquiring a greater rank in various lookup engines, hence the likelihood for organic site visitors.

So your weblogs can benefit you in a lot of distinct methods. You can use your posts to market your other websites, advertise your items, or advertise somebody else’s goods as an affiliate. You can also use your blog for list-creating – insert a membership form on your website, the place your viewers can sign up for your e-newsletter, free of charge guidelines or anything else you can provide them.
How klik her could make with your weblog relies upon mainly on the sum of targeted traffic you get daily. The best blogs with tens of 1000’s of daily hits could make tens of hundreds of bucks per thirty day period only from blogging. To maintain this earning constant and growing it in excess of time, individuals want to set in the hard work, like publishing intriguing content material each day, introducing the URL of their website to various site directories, pinging their blog soon after each and every new submit and plenty of bookmarking and digging on the everyday foundation. They also need regular responses on their posts. There are some valuable equipment for doing some of these tasks automatically or semi-instantly. All this tends to make them updated and rating higher in Google and other look for engines, because the lookup engines love blogs.
If your site is receiving near the prime, a good way of creating funds from blogging is paid out reviews – other people would inquire you to create a review for their site, website or product and would shell out for that. They would reward from your massive traffic and you would get paid for your time and effort.
Running a blog is a very popular way of creating money online. The principal cause for that is that it is free of charge and simple, so you could commence from scratch and get really far with no spending a dime on it. There are numerous approaches how to develop a weblog – plenty of them free of charge and very simple to use. Have a seem at Blogger or WordPress and you’ll have your website setup in minutes.

It amazes me how many cafes turn away customers. These are customers who have walked into the cafe, know what they want, and when they get to the counter they are told they are not wanted. They are given two options – buy more or leave.
The justification for a minimum EFTPOS is quite simple – credit cards attract fees. Cafes and restaurants find things tough and it is very tempting to try and minimise expenses. With many EFTPOS transactions incurring a fixed fee, it is a big chunk of the profit stolen by the bank.
The extended argument is that it will then cause of a customer to spend more money. They will add something onto their order to bring it up to the minimum, and so the cafe can actually make more money.
Alternatively there are customers who come in, sit around all day using the free wi-fi and will only buy a single cup of coffee.
My local cafe has just put up this sign to warn customers about their new policy. These are the arguments that they used.
Imagine a regular customer wanting a cup of coffee and realising they don’t have any cash. (How often have you opened your wallet/purse only to discover the kids have cleaned you out). They only want a single cup and don’t want to be forced to buy something else. You have a minimum EFTPOS spend or there is the other place around the corner that doesn’t. The choice is easy.
BUT that means you have just sent your customer to try out the opposition. What if they liked the coffee better, or the service?
My local cafe is in an industrial estate. I often see a group of workers coming in for a coffee. They are all individuals, but all up they are buying a large number of coffees. What happens when one of them doesn’t have any cash on them? Surely one of the the others would shout. But do they want to rely on the generosity of others? Isn’t it easier just to go to the other cafe to get a coffee?
And suddenly because one person doesn’t have cash, all of them head to the other cafe.
I’m big into looking at the “emotional journey” that a customer has. For me, I’m a B2B (business to business) company that is selling a “boring” product on line. That, however, doesn’t mean that I provide a boring experience. I like humour. I inject humour into my web site and my emails. There is humour in our thank you letter. I want to bring a smile to your day. I want you to remember us with a pleasant memory because we engaged your positive emotions.
For cafes, while great food is a bonus, the customer’s emotional response is more important. There are so many things that go into how a person will respond to a cafe including the staff, cleanliness, speed of service, the food, the price and probably even the weather. Good cafes will try to ensure that customers have a great experience. They want their customers to be happy, because happy customers are repeat customers.
So why put up a sign that says that there are limits to what you are prepared to do for a customer?
Why advertise the fact that you only want to serve a person if they are prepared to spend enough money in your cafe? Why advertise that you view a customer as a financial transaction, and are willing to loose them if they don’t measure up?
The really ironic part of all of this is that it really doesn’t matter that much any more. Most customers spend over the minimum.
In the case of my local cafe, it is only going to impact on a couple of people each day. It’s no big deal.
So if most customers spend over the limit, why waste space in the windows and on benches telling customers that you don’t want them unless they spend lots of money with you?
My challenge is simple – make a positive customer experience from what is going on.
Let’s try to do something that will bring in more customers, not less. Let’s put up a message that will say “you are the most important part of our business”.
Now what is the message?
Now you are telling them that you are the answer to their problems. You have great coffee and they don’t have to worry about if they have enough cash.
Now you are telling the group that they can always go to your cafe and know that everyone can buy something.
Now you are telling them that their happiness is the most important part of your business.
And that’s worth going out of your way for.

~ Kicking up my heels in the kitchen.
When Twitter first came on the scene, I wasn’t really sure what to do with it. I had Facebook and email and a blog already, so did I really need another way to connect with people? But I signed up anyway. And, as it has grown, I’ve come to see all sorts of benefits that I could not have previously imagined would come from this micro-blogging/communication/networking phenomenon. I’ve made new friends, found news stories and been given a few new recipe ideas.
This Quinoa Salad with Curry-Lime Vinaigrette is one of those recipes. A friend tweeted she had been thinking a lot about biryani-style quinoa dishes. I was curious and asked for links, which she happily sent along. I liked the idea of them, but neither of the recipes really grabbed me as a whole. Instead, I was more interested in picking and choosing the bits and pieces from each that were intriguing.
And I was more than motivated to try out something similar, having impulse bought a three-pound bag of quinoa from Costco. Seriously. Some people impulse buy gum; that makes a lot more sense.
I’ve liked quinoa for some time, ever since trying it with veggies and a peanut sauce at the Coup. But the idea of cooking it was a bit intimidating. Various reports of it being bitter or improperly cooked were enough to make me shy away from it. And then I saw on the back of this bag that you could cook it in a rice cooker. Can I make a confession here? I don’t really know how to cook rice on the stove because a former boyfriend bought me a cooker when I came back from Japan (where I had fallen in love with the one in my little townhouse). Now that’s all I use. So, knowing I could make perfect quinoa in the rice cooker was enough for me to put the giant bag of the stuff in my equally giant Costco cart.
And then I got it home and didn’t really know what to do with it.
So, I made this salad with quinoa and carrots and zucchini, currants and pine nuts and sort of make-it-up-as-you-go-along dressing based on what I thought would be good with hints from the other two recipes I read. Tossed it all together and it was fantastic. So I ate some more. And then I tweeted it and people started asking for a recipe. So, I made it again last week and actually wrote down what went in this time.
I was at the farmer’s market and bought some oddly coloured carrots (because I also impulse buy strange vegetables) and used them in the salad because I thought they’d be pretty. They were. But the first time I made this I used straight up normal carrots and it was just as fantastic.
Oh, and here’s the best tip I’ve read in a while for julienning vegetables perfectly. First cut it in diagonal slices, then stack those and cut into sticks. So much easier and they always look fantastic.
This is great right away, even better if you can let it sit for a bit so everything has a chance to hang out.
Lastly, I’d say that the beauty of a salad is it is infinitely adaptable. Don’t like pine nuts? Use sliced almonds instead. Currants are great, but I bet diced apricots or a handful of dried cranberries would also be delicious. And so on.
Cook quinoa according to package directions or using the “white rice” setting on a rice cooker. Set aside and let cool then place in large salad bowl.
Julienne carrots and zucchini, then slice green onions. Add to quinoa. Stir in chickpeas, toasted pine nuts and currants.
To make dressing, zest lime into a bowl, then add lime juice and honey. Whisk to dissolve honey, then add salt and spices. While whisking, slowly add oil to emulsify. Pour over salad and toss.
I love scones. I like sweet ones with devonshire cream and jam. I like savoury ones with a little butter.
But scones don’t seem to feel quite the same way about me.
Or maybe they sense fear.
One of the last times I remember making scones was when I was living in a small town in southern Japan. While I was the only foreigner in my community of 10,000, I was eagerly welcomed by many of the locals, including my next door neighbour who preferred to be called Susan. She was married to one of the teachers at the high school where I also taught and they had a young son. (We lived in a rather unattractive triplex — is that what a set of three townhouse-type homes is called, if a duplex means two? — that was teachers’ housing, along with the school’s vice-principal.) She was a very sweet woman who often had me over for dinner and hosted a pretty large (when one considers the relatively tiny size of her living room) dinner party when my then-boyfriend, mum and little sister came over to visit. At any rate, she signed us up for a cooking lesson with a women from the U.S. Naval base, stationed in nearby Sasebo. The subject was, of course, scones.
So, here I was, the lonely foreigner amongst a group of Japanese housewives learning to bake scones from some southern U.S. navy wife. Truly one of the stranger experiences.
Susan and I followed all of the directions faithfully, or so I believed. But our lovely little scones were nothing more than dough rocks by the time they came out of the oven. The instructor was convinced we had done something wrong (and I guess we must have), but I was so confident we had followed the recipe exactly.
I didn’t bother to attempt scones again for several years. Mostly, I suspect, because it’s one thing to bake cookies for a crowd and quite another to show up at work with a pile of scones. And also likely because deep down I harboured some anxiety that I would put in all that effort and still come out with flavoured rocks.
And then I saw a recipe for Carrot and Rosemary Scones.
I love rosemary. And carrots. And dijon mustard. And garlic. And parmesan cheese. The fact that all of these things were combined into a flaky scone was enough to jolt me out of my scone slump.
But it wasn’t going to be a breeze.
When I first attempted these, I found the mixture unbearably dry, but was nervous to add more liquid since I know making a light and fluffy scone requires some delicate baking chemistry. In the end, I did add some more cream, but it was still quite a dry dough. Once baked, the scones were still quite flat and not very brown. That’s not to say they weren’t tasty; they were. But not scone perfection.
The next time I called my mum (to whom I turn for all baking advice, her being a stellar baker and, I suspect, slightly amused by my ongoing need for guidance) and she said to not fear the addition of even more cream as the lack of liquid may have contributed to the rather flat outcome of the first attempt. Take two on the scones was slightly more successful — they were, at least, a little more golden and the dough had come together more easily — but only just. They were still flattish, though.
I sent the recipe along to my mum in advance of a visit out to Vancouver so that we could have a hands-on attempt together. (Baking, I feel, is best learned by participating at the side of an expert.) Not only did we almost double the amount of liquid, but, in the end, they still didn’t rise as much as other scone recipes. We eventually concluded the weight of the carrots was likely the culprit.
On the next attempt, I used my food processor to cut in the butter (justifying it as that I had to pull it out for grating the carrots anyway) and then added much more cream (a mixture of whipping and half-and-half because I wanted to use up the heavier cream) than originally called for. I also accidentally forgot the parmesan. So, I’m unsure which, if either, of those decisions played a role in the outcome, but these scones were beautiful.
They rose! They were tasty! They were flaky!
They still didn’t rise as much as other scone recipes; I blame it on the carrots.
While this recipe originally comes from Clotilde at Chocolate and Zucchini, I have made some adjustments. Below is the recipe as I make it.
Preheat the oven to 350. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingers or using a pastry blender or in a food processor, if you have one. It should resemble coarse crumbs when it’s blended enough. Add the carrots, rosemary and cheese if you’re using it.
The original recipe calls for 20 minutes in the oven. Mine baked for 17 before they were nice and golden. Cool on a rack. And then try to keep yourself from eating too many.

The New York Yankees and Joe Girardi will no longer be a couple in 2018, the feels are real. Whether the news that Girardi would no longer be the manager of the team next season makes you feel happy, sad or indifferent the fact of the matter is this, Girardi did a great job for the Yankees during his tenure overall. Let’s take a look at that tenure here this morning.
Thanks for the memories, Joe, even if they weren’t always so great.

I’m going to admit first thing that I don’t know much about The Oscars and the nomination system. This may be the first year I learned anything about the nominations (such as up to ten films can be nominated for Best Picture each year if there are enough worthy films). I am determined to do better research next year.
I watched The Oscars, starting with the red carpet all the way to the bitter end, following along with those who were commenting in the Twiterverse. While there was plenty to laugh at (Angelina Jolie’s leg anyone?), there were a few things that were missing that broke my little heart.
First, while I’m glad the song won, why wasn’t “Life’s A Happy Song” from the same film nominated? It’s allowed and I honestly think it’s a better original song. They didn’t perform the nominated songs either. Very shabby Academy.
Second, was it just Mary Robinette Kowal and me, or did you also notice that Peter Linz (the voice of Walter) was not mentioned in Bret McKenzie’s winner speech? Maybe it was easier to remember Jason Segal as he was sitting in the audience but the song is a duet. He wrote it so he must have known that and realized there were also two singers.
I looked up the song on iTunes AND Amazon. Only the human actor was listed as a singer. Why is it that if you don’t see the actor on screen they don’t get credited for their talent? Sure, if the whole film is animated, maybe you get a nod. But if you’re the only actor who doesn’t physically appear, you get completely snubbed. This is not the only case, even this year.
Perhaps one of the most expressive actors of our time is Andy Serkis. He was brought to my attention, and I assume most of the world, for his excellent performance as Gollum/Smeagol in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of films. Since then, Andy has taken on various other roles, most notably (in my biased opinion) Little Dorrit (2008), The Adventures of Tintin (2011) and Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011). Thanks to his accent, it took me quite a while to recognize him in Little Dorrit and I am usually the one calling actors out for their bad french pronunciation! Again, didn’t recognize him in Tintin until I saw his name on the credits of the film. He was the most enchanting part of that film.
I don’t think I even need to tell you about his performance as Ceasare in Planet of the Apes, as the film was nominated in the Visual Effects category. While it didn’t win (it was up against some tough competition!), Andy Serkis, the life of the character, was not nominated for his performance. He was also never nominated as an actor for his performance as Gollum, though Two Towers and Return of the King both won for Best Visual Effects.
While visual effects are responsible for Andy Serkis’s visible transformation into Gollum and Ceasare, all the movements, expressions and voice that make Gollum what we know and love/pity was all Andy.
So this is my shout out to them. To Andy Serkis and Peter Linz. Though the Academy hasn’t woken up to the times to nominate you or give you your own category, this is my personal nod to you both as actors.

In the wake of Hemming Village’s Phase II Grand Opening on Monday, Five Guys Burgers and Fries finally opened their doors Tuesday morning. And eager patrons were greeted by a tasty, familiar environment.
Five Guys is now open in Hemming Village.
As the seventh location in Idaho and the first in Rexburg, Five Guys is part of a sweep of newcomers to Hemming Village. Arriving on the heels of the brand new housing on the upper levels, it precedes the opening of Righteous Slice Pizza and Rocky Mountain Chocolate.
If you haven’t yet experienced the peanut oil fried happiness that is the Five Guys menu, now is your opportunity. An Explore Rexburg writer enjoyed a small order of Cajun-seasoned fries and a chocolate shake this morning in his first visit in years, to a very positive review.
“These fries are a revelation,” he uttered, dipping his fingers, now nearly more seasoned than the fries, back into the bag. Five Guys, he later said, is the hero Rexburg both needed and deserved.
Everything on the Five Guys menu is made fresh day of.
The signature item at Five Guys, however, is the burger. The Washington Post has called them “the Willy Wonka of Burgercraft”. Everything is made fresh in-store that day, which includes the burgers. Plus, they keep their menu simple and flexible. However you like your burger, you can have it the way you like at Five Guys.
The workers at Five Guys Burger and Fries anticipate a big rush this weekend as BYU-I students return full-force to town. We encourage you to try them out, whether for your first or fortieth time, this week.
*Five Guys works closely with peanut-based products and peanuts themselves are a central figure in the store. If you have an allergy, we are deeply sorry you aren’t able to try them out. Thankfully, there are other plenty of great burger places in Rexburg.

It’s no secret that my five-year-old boy, Will, is obsessed with monster trucks. So it only made sense that we theme his fifth birthday party accordingly. Good friends and family gathered in our back yard for a monster of a party. While I’m hardly a master with the camera, I snapped away with abandon, hoping to be able to share the secrets of this absolute scream of a party with all of you here on this blog.
So, without further ado, here are all the details! Hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoyed putting it all together.
I leaned on Hollie, our fabulous graphic designer here at GetButtonedUp.com for some help with the invitation. Thank heavens I had a photo of Will behind the wheel of a car that she could cut out and use!
The first game we played (about 15 minutes after the start of the party) was a twist on the old birthday party classic pin the tail on the donkey.
We designed a personalized New York license plate for each attendee and printed them out on regular paper using our Epson ink jet printer. I cut them out and then put some double stick tape on the back of each one. Lacking a proper bandana or blindfold, I used a pink pashmina from my closet. Somewhere the Monster Truck Gods shuddered. But the kids didn’t care. We tied it around their heads so they couldn’t see, spun them around once or twice, and off they went to pin tape their license plate on the poster.
I am telling you, they had SO much fun with this game! It’s perfect for 5-6 year-olds. The winner got a high-five and lots of accolades from the parents & kids assembled.
After the thrill of pin the plate on the monster truck, we switched gears with a twist on the old egg race favorite. Rather than a relay race in which two teams compete to see who can complete the race fastest with a fragile egg balanced on a spoon, we had them race with a monster truck on their spoons instead!
We created two “lanes” in the yard using croquet hooks and string. The kids counted off in “1s” and “2s” and were assigned teams accordingly. Mom sent the racers off with a blast from an air horn – and – well…they sort of got it.
I made the monster truck birthday cake myself after trolling the internet (thanks Pinterest!) for ideas. It was incredibly easy to do.
Heat the oven to 350º. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans and set them aside. In a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup, measure 1 1/2 cups water. Add the unsweetened chocolate squares to the water. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring after 1 1/2 minutes or until the chocolate has melted. Stir in the cocoa and set the mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter for 1 minute; add the granulated and brown sugars and cream for another 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs individually, beating well after each one. Beat in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beginning with about a third of the flour, add the flour mixture and chocolate mixture alternately to the butter and sugar, stirring well after each addition.
Divide the cake batter evenly between the two pans, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula. Place the pans on the middle oven rack and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then place a cooling rack atop each pan and, holding the edges to the pan, flip the cake onto the rack. Cool completely before frosting.
The finished wheel cakes cooled while I made the yellow cake for the car body.
Cream 3-1/2 cups of confectioners’ sugar with 1/2 cup of butter (at room temperature). Add up to 5 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Stop when you reach the consistency you desire. Beat in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Once the icing was done, I applied the white to the back and windows. Then I separated out the remaining icing into three different bowls, added some food coloring…and voila, I was ready to decorate.
The result was better than anything I could have hoped for, considering that I have never decorated a cake before in my life. The look on Will’s face when we brought it out was priceless. The kids all clamored for a piece and devoured every bite.
Finally, after everyone’s tummies were filled with pizza and cake, it was time for some sprinkler fun. My DH followed the instructions to a deluxe kid car wash made out of PVC pipe that one of our Facebook fans recommended I check out on Family Fun. He put it together in the garage the night before – it took about an hour to assemble the parts (and 2 beers). Once he was done with the basic structure, we both decorated it with colorful pool noodles and sponges I had gotten on sale at Walmart.
Our tip: skip the swinging arm entrance. But otherwise, it’s a pretty perfect design plan.
The result – well – I’m sure the squeals of delight could be heard all the way down the Eastern Seaboard! We’ve trotted it out pretty much every week since the party for backyard summer fun.
It was certainly a day to remember. I am so happy that I took the time to really plan a great, homemade party. I don’t know if I’ll do that kind of thing every year, but it filled me with joy to do – so I might just keep up the madness.
How about you? Have you ever surprised yourself by pulling off an amazing party without much background in crafting? What was the best party you threw? What did you do?
If you’re interested in getting either the invite or pin the tail on the monster truck poster & license plates customized for your truck fiend, send an email to Sarah at getbuttonedup dot com.
Where did you find the poster for pin the plate on the truck? Such cute ideas!!!
This is actually a unique idea for a birthday party, kids would really love such party. That car wash sprinkler is awesome by the way, kids would not get board with that activity. I’ve organized a party before for my niece last month and it was an animal theme just in their backyard, it went well. I’ll take note of this idea.
Tiffany – we designed the poster and I had it printed at a local FedEx Office.
Thanks! I can honestly say the kids had an absolute blast.
As a favor. How’d you make them?
Love the invite and the license plate idea, I would love to use them both for my sons b day party how can I get them??
Thanks so much for sharing ur ideas!
@ce1b5b6454984df7cfc55f688916a94e:disqus – you can buy & download a copy of the poster + license plates here for $15: http://getbuttonedup.com/shop/pin-the-plate-on-the-monster-truck-pdfs/ I’m sure your party will be a monster of a success!
I bought the pin the license plate game, and I am wondering how you made them look more like an actual plate? I can only get mine to write in black? Also where did you print the poster from? Did you have to send it somewhere since it’s so large? Thank you!
Cindy, I had both the poster and the plates printed at a local Staples. I also hear Costco does a nice job and is pretty inexpensive as well.
You can print out the poster at any local Staples, Costco, or Kinkos (size is 18×24).
Hi! I came across your party ideas on Google & love pin the license plate on the monster truck. Can you tell me where you found the big monster truck decal?
I absolutely love the Monster Truck invitation! Is it for sale or do you have a free printable? If possible I would love to use it for my Son’s 2nd Birthday Party. Please let me know.
Hi there! Just wondering if the Monster truck poster and license plates are still available for purchase? The link in this thread isn’t working any more (I do see this post is 2 years old). Would love to get a copy for our party in a couple of weeks.
I just downloaded the license plates. How do you center the names? And what font did you use? When I type the name in, it travels up into New York and you can’t see the name.
If I want to order the pin the license plate on the monster truck how much will you charge me and will I have it by Oct 4th thank you! You did an amazing job on your party!
Is the truck printable still available?? I can’t find it to download.
Hi, I saw your monster truck party plan and I was interested in the monster truck poster for pin the license plate on the truck. Do you have them for purchase or how would I go about getting it?
I’m also interested in knowing for my son’s upcoming bday party.

The issue of creating missile defense boundaries in Europe is largely political in nature. The United States is developing the system more for ensuring national security — officially from Iran, but in reality from China and possibly Russia. Otherwise, it is difficult to understand its persistence in establishing a global missile defense system in Europe and seas adjacent to it, the Middle East, and Northeast and East Asia. Russia, of course, is not now the United States’ main enemy, but it sits at the fourth spot on its list, after Iran, North Korea and China. This worries the Russian expert community, something the West rarely understands. To confirm that, let’s perform a brief analysis of the missile threats to Europe other than Russia and China.
The Middle Eastern countries most successful at mastering missile technologies are Israel and Iran, which have developed medium-range ballistic missiles. In the late 1980s, China sold missiles like the CSS-2 (Dongfeng-3A) to Saudi Arabia, but it is highly doubtful that they are operational today.
Israel’s Jericho-3, an advanced three-stage missile, has an intercontinental range (up to 6500 km) and a nuclear warhead. It could pose a real missile threat to all of Europe. However, that is impossible in principle so long as the majority of the population is Jewish. The country’s ethnic composition is not expected to change before 2020 (Sunni Arabs currently comprise only 10% of its population).
The Iran’s inventory includes the Shehab-3, Shahab-3M and Qadr-1 ballistic missiles. Their maximum range with a 750 kg warhead does not exceed 1600 km. Iran’s advanced two-stage Sajjil-2 missile can deliver a 1-tonne warhead to range of up to 2200 km. The range can be increased to 3000 miles by reducing the warhead to 500 kg, which means a nuclear warhead could not be used. That is clearly insufficient to threaten all of Europe, especially given the advanced missiles’ likely location in the center of the Iran (the distance between the Iranian city of Yazd and Prague, which is located in the heart of Europe, is 3853 km).
Iran is not capable of developing a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the midterm. The potential for developing liquid-propellant missiles has largely been exhausted. Of course, that does not preclude the Iranians from developing multi-stage liquid propellant rockets for military purposes, but it is more likely that most of their resources will be focused on improving a different kind of ballistic missile — solid-fuel missiles (the technologies for developing liquid propellant rockets are mainly applicable to space). Therefore, Iran can pose a potential missile threat to nearby European countries. All that is needed to contain it is a missile defense base in Romania and the existing radars in Turkey and Israel.
The de facto nuclear state of India has the largest missile capability in South and Southeast Asia. It includes the solid-fuel medium-range Agni-1 and Agni-2 missiles, which can deliver 1-tonne warheads to ranges of 1000 and 2500 km, respectively. A new missile, the Agni-3, which will have a range of up to 5000 km, is under development. India’s missile development plans also include the Surya ICBM, which will have a range of 8000-12,000 km. However, there is no potential for a conflict developing between India and Europe.
The de facto nuclear state of Pakistan has also been able to develop a significant missile capability, including the liquid propellant medium-range Haft-5 and Haft-6. Its advanced ballistic missiles have a range of up to 2500 km, which is clearly insufficient to reach even the borders of Europe.
Northeast Asian countries have developed a rocket capability that allows them to produce medium-range missiles. For example, North Korea’s two-stage liquid propellant Taepodong-2 missile is estimated have a range of 3500 km with a 1-tonne warhead and 8000 km with a 500-kg warhead. In the latter case, it would not be nuclear capable.
Due to insufficient funding and the backwardness of North Korea’s industrial base under international sanctions based on UN Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874, North Korea’s capabilities to finish developing the Taepodong are severely limited. In particular, these resolutions require that the missile program be halted and the moratorium on launching ballistic missile be restored. That denies North Korea the ability to flight test missiles under development. Thus, it is highly unlikely that North Korea could develop an ICBM by 2020. Considering that the distance from Pyongyang to Bucharest — the capital of the nearest European country — is 7752 km, it is obvious that there will be no North Korean missile threat to Europe throughout the entire period we are considering.
Therefore, the projected ballistic missiles of Northeast Asian countries do not represent a real threat to Europe. Hypothetically, only America’s closest ally — Japan —has the capability to develop an ICBM, should it make the political decision to do so.
Currently, there are short-range ballistic missiles (which have ranges of no more than 1000 km) in the inventories of Algeria, Azerbaijan, Argentina, Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Vietnam, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Yemen, Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria , Turkey, Taiwan, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. Of these countries, the only one that can pose a potential missile threat to Europe is a member of NATO — Turkey, due to its geographical proximity, difficult relations with Greece, Islamization of the country and rising regional ambitions. This, the decision by Turkey’s leadership to develop medium-range ballistic missiles, although not yet backed by real scientific and technical potential, should catch Brussels’ attention.
Belarus and Ukraine have the Tochka (Tochku-U) missile systems in their inventory. These missiles have a range of up to 120 km. they can pose only a hypothetical missile threat to neighboring European countries. The missile defenses deployed in Europe are sufficient to parry that threat in view of their short range and low flight altitude, as well as their conventional (non-nuclear) warhead.
Thus, our brief analysis provides convincing evidence that there is no missile threat to Europe before 2020 if Russia and China are not considered a threat. The US SM-3 interceptor missiles deployed in Romania are quite sufficient to contain Iran’s missile ambitions. The establishment of a similar base in Poland and a significant increase in the speed of interceptor missiles, let alone giving them a strategic status, i.e., the capability to intercept ICBM warheads, will suggest that the United States desires to alter the existing balance of forces in the field of strategic offensive arms. Such activities will impede the development of Russian-American relations and push Moscow to take adequate measures of a military-technical nature.

[Nice, France, June 27, 2014]: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today unveiled a 200G photonic integrated device (PID) for case-shaped metro WDM equipment at Next Generation Optical Networking Forum, the most important optical conference in Europe. This device will help accelerate "WDM/OTN to the edge" deployments.
Future backbone pipes will be Pacific-wide, and the transmission capacity of metropolitan networks should expand accordingly to effectively "offload" tremendous traffic from the backbone. This means that "WDM/OTN to the edge" is inevitable. However, traditional case-shaped WDM equipment used at the network edge is unable to provide the required ultra-large capacity. Additionally, the planning and configuration of analog WDM signals is complex, which impedes mass deployment of edge WDM equipment.
Photonic integration technology allows the integration of opto-electronic components of a WDM system such as lasers, modulators, detectors, multiplexers, and de-multiplexers into a centimeter-sized PID chip. The highly integrated chip can deliver higher capacity without the need for connecting a large number of pigtails between boards, and spares the heavy workload of planning and configuring parameters such as optical power, dispersion compensation, and signal-to-noise ratio. This empowers the plug-and-play feature on edge WDM equipment, greatly reducing deployment and maintenance costs and facilitating the "WDM/OTN to the edge" evolution. The PID solution is currently available for Huawei's case-shaped WDM equipment OSN 1800 V and can deliver 200 Gbit/s per fiber. Huawei is also working on a 400G PID solution.
As a best partner to deploy next generation WDM networks, Huawei has built over 200 commercial 100G networks for operators worldwide, driving optical 100G to go mainstream over a short period of time. By building information networks as wide as the Pacific Ocean, Huawei delivers high-speed connectivity anywhere to enrich people's lives.

what new york used to be. Tribeca, gothic eyes perched upon each passing character, everyone with a story, everyone once living somewhere before. Seas of souls holding cigarettes to lips with manically thin arms. City blocks, naked in the window, taking off your clothes, using half a roll of film. Expressions and cherries. Parts undone, age unknown.
Howling back under the blood moon, the city wants to keep us under the influence. We breath a new breed, produce our art at all costs because nothing is more important; nothing is more life giving.

A big Kielder Marathon thank you!
Kielder Marathon organisers are thanking everyone who helped make the Active Northumberland Kielder Marathon Weekend such a huge success.
More than 3,000 runners took part in Britain’s Most Beautiful running events over the two days and in front of around 9,500 spectators at Northumbrian Water’s Kielder Waterside site.
Crowds were treated to fantastic weather, stunning scenery and amazing performances by athletes in a series of events including the 10k, the Run Bike Run, the Half Marathon and the Marathon.
Junior events were also held at the Kielder Waterside site on the Sunday (8 October).
More than 200 race volunteers gave their own time to help organisers marshal the course and keep events, and runners, on track.
Other key partners involved in the running of the event included the BBC who broadcasted radio shows live from the site on both days and Look North on Marathon day, and The Forestry Commission who supported the delivery of the event with key personnel and the new Greenside car park at Kielder Waterside.
Race Director Steve Cram said: “The Active Northumberland Kielder Marathon weekend was a resounding success for everyone involved. The weather was fantastic all weekend and led to some great conditions for the runners, which we saw with some fantastic performances and timings in the events.
“I’d like to thank everybody involved throughout the weekend for their hard work. Our volunteers did an exceptional job keeping everything running smoothly and ensuring the weekend was a success.
“I’d also like to thank our partners at Northumberland Council, Active Northumberland, Northumbrian Water, The Forestry Commission and everyone else who came together and worked with us on bringing the event back for 2017.

An arts and entertainment revolution happening right in your backyard… Are you in?
Surely you’ve seen those eye-catching “in Wilmington” billboards and ads with musicians, painters, actors and chefs doing their thing in front of a picket fence. Or maybe you’ve come across the two-page event calendars in various publications that list scores of entertainment and cultural events scheduled for the month.
The calendars, billboards and ads just hint at the depth of the Wilmington Arts & Entertainment Marketing Initiative, which was launched earlier this year. This multi-year effort aims at three major goals—exposing Wilmington residents and those in surrounding areas to the incredible wealth of arts and entertainment offerings in Wilmington, connecting arts organizations in new ways to create co-promotions and to help foster audience crossover, and creating an easy-to-use centralized place for patrons to find out about what’s happening in Wilmington at any given time.
Fortuitously, there was a previous marketing campaign on which to build: the “in Wilmington” initiative, with the theme “Wilmington—in the Middle of It All,” was developed several years ago by the city to promote business in the downtown area. Mobius New Media —the agency executing and managing the campaign—extended that concept, changing the face of it with a new logo, and adding the catch phrase “In Your Backyard”—intended to illustrate just how accessible Wilmington’s arts and entertainment offerings are (thus the picket fence on billboards and ads).
Things are changing for the better, says Campaign Manager Brianna Hansen. “With game-changers like World Cafe Live at the Queen coming to town, new nightspots like the jazz club The Nomad, and a number of new restaurants opening downtown, Wilmington’s rebirth is accelerating,” she says.

Ink bottles are strewn across shelves. From the ceiling dangles rows and rows of artwork patiently awaiting their completion, delicately hung by clothes pins. The view of the hills just beyond Walsh Hall can be admired from almost any angle through the windows lining the printmaking studio.
To some, the printmaking studio may seem like organized chaos, with large granite table slabs covering most of the area, papers and rollers covering most of the rest. To Devante Owens, this studio has become a familiar home over the past several months as he prepares for his upcoming B.F.A. exhibition on Oct. 2 and reflects on his collection, what inspires him, and how his passion for making art came to be.
“You feel intimidated by making something that’s not perfect, but it doesn’t have to be,” Owens said.
Owns shared how he took an art class over the summer at UAF where he rediscovered his passion for making art. He immediately switched his major and has been doing it since then. He spends most of his time in the art department these days.
Now dominated by giant images of space and ocean creatures, his work space is filling up with images for his upcoming exhibitions. Angler fish creep out from behind planets and a sailboat tears through a star filled seascape in some of his recent work.
Although he is now at home in the studio, he did not start there. Initially, Owens was on a different path at the university—he was an engineering major, which he credits to being good at math in high school.
Initially entering the department as an Art major focusing on painting, he later switched to printmaking under the inspiration of one of his advisers. For this project, he has taken on larger scale printmaking work.
“As a whole, I want the gallery to explain a little bit of the processes behind printmaking,” said Owens, regarding the larger theme for his exhibition collection.
His interest in art goes back to childhood and he says his ambition to create only increased as grew older.
One of his self admitted struggles has been time management. Several of his paintings are large in scale, taking a great deal of time to complete.
Owens also discussed some of his opinions on audiences and their connection to art. He believes people can feel disconnected, especially if they are not artists themselves. However, he maintains that art is a process that takes a great deal of work and does not simply appear on the canvas the way it is shown.
With his B.F.A. being his primary focus, Owens says has taken time off of work to dedicate his time and energy to his art. He shared how he would like to pursue graduate school somewhere in the Lower 48, after taking a bit off time off to work and save money.
Owens’ B.F.A. exhibition will be held on Oct. 2 from 5 – 8 p.m. at the UAF Art gallery in the Fine Arts Complex. The show is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.

Did we evolve from apes, or are we all descendants of Adam and Eve? Why is the "missing link" still missing? Is the dumb luck of natural selection valid? Piecing together the protohistory of humanity through anthropology, genetics, paleolinguistics, and indigenous traditions, Martinez offers an entirely original alternative to Darwin's evolution: Modern humanity did not evolve but is a mosaic of mixed ancestry, the result of eons of cross-breeding and retro-breeding among different groups, including Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal, hobbits, giants, and Africa's "Lucy" and "Zinj."
She shows that there were multiple "Gardens of Eden" and how each continent had its own blend of races prior to the Great Flood, which caused the diaspora that brought a renaissance of culture to every division of the earth. Martinez explains Homo sapiens' mental powers (the Great Leap Forward) in cosmological terms... how we are the product of both heaven and earth.

Recently published, ‘From Pit to Palace’ tells the story of one man’s military career. Major Tom Godwin MBE initially started his working life as an electrician before joining the army briefly. Tom made a career change when he sampled police work, following in his father’s footsteps, and it was during this time that he met his wife.
Before they settled down for a quiet life in Yorkshire, Tom decided he wanted more from life, and re-joined The Parachute Regiment. In the years that followed, Tom rose through the ranks to Major and as is the case with most military careers, there was never a dull moment!
Tom has kindly said 10% of personal sales will be donated to SUPPORT OUR PARAS, which we are extremely grateful for. Pick up your copy today from Amazon.
Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing left Donington Park buoyed by another series of marked time improvements in the latest round of the Dunlop British Touring Car Championship.
The team arrived at the Derbyshire track with both Infiniti Q50 race cars for the first time this season, and saw both Derek Palmer and Richard Hawken take to the track.
The team’s Infiniti Q50 race cars are prepared by injured ex-servicemen from the Parachute Regiment, with all team profits being donated to Support Our Paras, the official Regiment charity.
Palmer, the 28-year-old from Lesmahagow, shaved an impressive 16-seconds off his lap times over the weekend. After clocking 1min 27.244secs in Saturday’s opening free practice, he improved dramatically through the day to set 1:11.930s in qualifying.
But the Scot’s weekend was ruined when his engine suffered a progressive power loss through Sunday’s opening 16-lap race. And despite again recording a series of improved lap times throughout the race, his car eventually slowed to a halt on his in-lap.
Palmer, realising his engine was struggling as he headed for the pits, had the sense to switch the unit off as he headed towards the final chicane. His actions were praised by engine supplier, Swindon.
“Derek’s actions certainly saved the engine from suffering further, more extensive damage,” a Swindon Engines spokesman said. The damaged engine will be returned to Swindon for detailed examination.
With Palmer ruled out of the day’s final two races, Hawken, making his debut in the 2015 BTCC, safely negotiated all three races, culminating in a top 20 finish in the day’s action-packed finale.
The weekend was also rated a success by the injured Paratroopers working on the team’s race cars.
“Obviously we’ve had a couple of ups and downs this weekend,” former Para Corporal John Price explained. “Derek’s car went down, but it couldn’t be helped: it’s just one of those things in motorport.
“This weekend I was in charge of jacking Rich’s car up, basically making sure everything with the car was alright.
Considering this was the first time our side of the garage had had its on car to work on at a race weekend, everything really went very smoothly.
John’s sentiments were mirrored by one of the guys working on the other side of the garage.
“It went really, really well this weekend,” former Corporal Mike Lewis said. “It was obviously unfortunate that Derek’s engine went, but the other car competed well right through the weekend.
We achieved another goal, getting Car 2 through all three races this weekend. We’ll have both cars back out next time at Thruxton.
The team worked really well again this weekend; even better than we did at Brands hatch, so it confirms we’re improving as a unit, and we’re getting faster and stronger.
There will be a Memorial Service on 20 June 2015 at the National Memorial Arboretum for those associated with the wider Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces family.
This Memorial Service is being held to commemorate soldiers who have died having served in The Parachute Regiment & Airborne Forces since its inception in 1940. The Service will take place in front of our Memorial which was unveiled on 13 July 2012 by The Colonel in Chief, HRH POW. The Memorial was erected as a national focal point and now provides a place of pilgrimage; particularly to those who have lost family members in foreign and inaccessible countries.
For more information, please see the letter from the Regimental Secretary below.
Our very own OC P Company is also taking part in this year’s London Marathon.
Chris Collier is taking part in his third consecutive London Marathon this year with a view of beating his personal best time of 2h 58m 59s.
Help Chris reach, and smash through his fundraising target by donating to his page. He has promised that the more he raises, the faster he will run!
On Sunday 26 April 2015, Mike Ellicock broke the World Record for ‘Fastest Marathon Carrying a 20-lb Pack.’ Mike ran the 26.2 mile course in an impressive 2h 56m 39s, smashing the previous record by a whole 10 minutes!
You can still donate to Mike’s fundraising page here.
Running the London Marathon in a good time is a challenge for most people. So imagine trying to break a World Record at the same time. Mike Ellicock is doing just that, for the second time!
The record currently stands at 3h 06m 16 seconds and was set at the Tokyo Marathon in February 2015. Mike is aiming to complete the London Marathon in under 3 hours.
This year, Mike is raising money for both SUPPORT OUR PARAS and National Numeracy – two charities which hold a very special place in his heart.
In September 2000, Mike was platoon commander for A Coy 1 PARA when he was injured on operations, but thanks to a rapid casevac, he suffered no permanent damage. He has chosen to raise money for SUPPORT OUR PARAS in aid of those who did not share his good luck and who need support for many years to come.
National Numeracy is an independent charity established in 2012 to help raise low levels of numeracy among both adults and children and to promote the importance of everyday maths skills. Mike is CEO of National Numeracy and believes that if you value something, believe that you could do it and then put the effort in, almost anything is possible.
We wish Mike the very best of luck and hope he smashes the World Record this year just like he did in 2013.

I had been to one or two socials, but never really committed to going to them. Jonny Martin asked me to go to a birthday party just for the craic and ever since then I’ve been hooked!
I lent a hand packing up that night and offered my services to Chris, and 4 months later I’ve been flat out and loving it. The reason I love them is because the craic is great, and the team banter is even better…there’s never a dull moment! Mostly I really love them because we are spreading the Lords word!
Some people think Christianity can be boring but the socials disproves that. People are having fun but also most importantly hearing the gospel.
I got saved back in 2011 at a camp, but it’s hasn’t been plain sailing, but at the end the Lord had a plan for me and the older I get the more it becomes clear no matter what happens he is there. And the socials is a way I try and show people that I’m a Christian, and also fulfilling his word.

Taxi Leaks: TCR Protests week Two : Khan's Lies Must Be Exposed.
TCR Protests week Two : Khan's Lies Must Be Exposed.
As Sadiq Khan, bleats on relentlessly about the poor air quality in London, he knows full well that diesel cars are not to blame for the low standard of air quality endured in our cities across the UK.
* Khan knows as fact, that hundreds of transient transatlantic flights are routed out of their way to fly low over London and other populated areas of the UK.
* He knows emission from ground traffic has dropped, as any increase in traffic has been more than offset by improvements in engine technology.
* He also knows the only other factor in the equation -aviation- is being deliberately excluded from the entire debate.
* Khan knows that his T-Charge is basically a tax on diesel drivers and an attack on the London Black Taxi trade.
* He knows the T-Charge will make no difference to the levels of pollution, as several studies have shown.
* He knows it will make no difference to people’s health or save any lives.
* He knows that the easiest way to improve air quality is to re-route transient aviation away from UK populated areas or away from UK airspace altogether.
He knows because he's been told him and supplied supporting evidence by email, by phone to both his mayoral Office and his parliamentary office.
We know he got them because it's been checked...but guess what… not a single response to any of them. Not one single word.
Therefore, Look-up.org are currently preparing a legal challenge in the form of a Judicial Review of his plans to charge people to drive into London as they feel Khan is deliberately ignoring the true cause, which will amount to an unnecessary tax on people who rely on their vehicles to live and work in London.

The body’s internal clock is what signals to us that it’s either time to wake or time to sleep. However, as we age, our bodies go through hormonal and other natural changes that have a direct affect on the internal clock. We oftentimes hear about older adults, seniors in particular, being dissatisfied with their sleep. This includes fragmentation of sleep, the inability to settle down to rest and a lack of feeling relaxed and refreshed upon waking.
In addition to being a natural part of aging, there are a variety of factors that affect the ability to get restful sleep. Arthritis, Alzheimer’s, enlarged prostate, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome are just several of many health conditions that can challenge sleep. Medications for these types of diseases and conditions are major contributors to sleep difficulty as well. Life changes like loss of a loved one, disability, and retirement play a role, too.
It’s important to talk with your doctor about health conditions, medications, lifestyle habits and major life-changing events that could be adversely affecting sleep cycles. There are several ways seniors can improve sleep on their own with a few tips.
Engage in activities that improve mood. This includes getting out of the house and socializing with others in the community.
Get the appropriate amount of physical activity. Exercise is known to release endorphins to boost your mood and lessen anxiety and stress.
Increase exposure to sunlight. Natural light regulates melatonin which directly affects sleep-wake cycles. Try to avoid artificial light, but when necessary use low wattage bulbs.
If you read at night, don’t use an electronic device like a Kindle or tablet that has a backlight.
Keep the bedroom cool, comfortable and quiet. Noise, heat and light can challenge sleep.
Move bedroom clocks out of eyesight and earshot. A person with sleeping troubles will oftentimes watch the clock, or let the tick-tock distract them from rest. Don’t allow yourself the opportunity.
Establish a bedtime routine. Whether it’s taking a bath, reading for 30 minutes, or listening to music, a regular schedule can make restful sleep come more naturally.
Control eating and drinking before bed. Limit caffeine, alcohol and nicotine intake. Reduce the use of sleeping pills unless in certain circumstances, but do not depend on them for regular use.


text: The thematic and comparative essays vary in how they are organized, not just in their topics. The authors were encouraged by the editors to structure their discussions as they saw fit. On the other hand, the articles on health and illness in particular cultures generally follow the same format to provide maximum comparability. That is, most of the culture articles cover the same topics, the list of which we developed with the help of our Advisory Board (see the headings in boldface below). If there is substantial variation within the culture (e.g., by class or gender), the author was instructed to note it where appropriate, either in a particular section or at the end. A heading may be omitted if information on it is lacking or not applicable. The headings that follow are found in the vast majority of the articles to facilitate search and retrieval of information. Thus, the reader may easily compare how the cultures of the world differ and are similar in the ways they deal with health and illness.

Since the last days of April, in Halkidiki, Enigma shopping mall has opened its doors to the consumer audience, after the glorious inauguration which took place with the presence of several representatives of the political and business world of Macedonia. It is belonging to the Mouzhenidis Group, and it is without any doubt one of the largest investments in recent years in the wider area. Specifically, it is located close to Nea Moudania and occupies an area of around 3500 square meters, at a nodal point between Kassandra and Sithonia.
Greece has also managed to distinguish this year for its crystal clear beaches and coasts in a worldwide level. In particular, it won the second place, with 486 award-winning shores, competing with 47 countries which participated in the program.
Halkidiki has contributed greatly to the top ranking of our country, since 71 beaches have been awarded with the Blue Flag belongs to Halkidiki.
Visiting Halkidiki? Here is what you need to take with you.
As the weather warms up, the need for each of us for a vacation becomes greater and greater. Undoubtedly, many of you have already begun preparing suitcases. And as long as the big dilemmas like the dilemma of "mountain or sea" remain unsolved, the ideal would be to avoid unnecessary processes and thoughts in order to enjoy the waiting to the maximum. What are the necessary things that everyone must have in his suitcase? How will you miss nothing without carrying your entire household together with you? This article will help you organize your things appropriately, without exaggerations and at the same time, without shortcomings.
Greece is one of the most popular holiday destinations. In recent years, as worldwide, in our country has begun to bloom a different approach to tourism. Nowadays, many patients choose to go to another country to combine their holidays with the receipt of medical assistance. Also, by this way they relax and revitalize after or during their treatment.
Halkidiki is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations in Greece during the summer months. However, only a few know that this place can satisfy the most demanding guests even the winter, since its harmonic combination of mountain and sea.
On Wednesday 25th May 2016, the official award ceremony of the program “blue flag” took place. This ceremony awards the best beaches and marinas all over the world. For the first time in the history of this event, the ceremony took place in Chalkidiki and specifically in Sithonia (Porto Carras hotel). This thing is something very different since, until now, the awards carried out through a press release from the headquarters of the program, which are located in Denmark.

Gabby Barrett sings "Colors of the Wind" Form Pocahontas for her Top 10 performance in front of a live audience and Judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie on American Idol 2018.
Ashley Rennicker I’m annoyed with the people bashing her. She’s a young girl who has had a rough life and is trying to find her way. Does she have things to work on? Yes. All of the contestants do, however, that doesn’t mean we bash them. Props to her for getting on that stage and trying. I don’t think this was her strongest performance, but I think she did very well and deserves some credit.
Dianne Tidwell She's the only one that actually works the crowd and shows she's having a blast the rest just stands there boring and the crowd loved her that's what it's about .
Destiny Bloxom How many times have the judges told her to stop trying to be someone else? Send her home already she doesn’t listen to directions. Layla should have stayed over her. At least she was listening to criticism,learning, growing.
Tina Bates Wow, she did good. If y'all that are bashing her sit back and think about it, ALL American Idol Contestants have to start somewhere and I believe she is gunna become something of herself!!

Gabby Barrett Colors of the Wind , love love Gabby . Why does it matter where you’re from to be a country singer? Keith Urban is from Australia & is a country singer. You don’t have to be from Nashville to sing country. She’s overconfident, so.. that’s her personality! That definitely does not make her self centered, as mentioned in an earlier comment. She’s a natural performer with an amazing voice! We love you Gabby!! Ignore the haters!!
Leigh Anne Cummings Stankoski Over done, over played, and I’m over her. She’s got a good voice but she needs to calm down. The more she moves, the more pitchy she gets.
