What is Online Ground School?
TRU Simulation + Training has received FAA approval for systems ground school through our exclusive Online Ground School for Cessna Citation Jet and King Air. This means that if you choose to take your ground school from the comfort of your home, you can spend more valuable training time on-site. In some cases it may shorten the time required to be at our facilities. Currently, Online Ground School is only approved for recurrent training. Initial customers will have full access to the Online Ground School, however, they will not receive training credit when studying remotely.
Here's how it works... Once you've chosen to participate in the Online Ground School option (Yes, live ground school courses are still available if you prefer!), you will be given a username and password to access our Online Ground School portal. Once you have completed all of the required modules and lessons in the program (approximately 11-12 hours) and successfully passed the online exams, your systems ground school is complete. When you arrive on-site at our Training Center, you will be given a short validation exam (FAA requirement) and then you will start your enrichment courses and simulator training. Online Ground School is a powerful tool to maximize and enhance your training experience while at our center.
What pilot training courses does TRU Simulation + Training offer?
The pilot community has spoken and we've responded. Maintain proficiency all year long with our exclusive Current 365™ program. With two annual training events, online courseware, email generated system quizzes, and flight training devices, you will always be current. Thanks to recent advances in technology, we can bring currency to the comfort of your living room. The standard once-per-year training model has been broken for a very long time. As training innovators, we elected to move ahead of the curve and develop next-level web-based training for integration with our proven ground school sessions and advanced simulator training. We were granted FAA approval of our web-based CitationJet Online Ground School courses in February 2014, and we continue to add to our range of courses for this program. This frees up time on-site for more effective simulator training.
It shifts pilot preparation from the three-day conventional classroom based model to a 365-day calendar for flexibility and the constant currency that aviation safety demands.
It merges systems ground school and hands-on experience with avionics training from Day 1.
It enables pilots to select the course/pricing package that best meet their needs.
It allows greater training flexibility well above and beyond typical FAA 61.58 "box checking" programs.

She decided to take on the role of establishing the affiliated Manitoba chapter and got ready for her first official Pay It Forward Day, April 28, 2013 (Pay It Forward Day is celebrated worldwide every April 28). She organized volunteers to join her at a busy intersection that morning, handing out Pay It Forward bracelets and McDonald’s free coffee certificates to commuters at the stoplight. (Yes, this go-getter had contacted McDonald’s and brought them on as a sponsor!) Yvette and her team ended up handing out over 1,000 bracelets and certificates, asking each recipient to do something kind for someone that day.
The cards bore messages like, “Be kind to unkind people because they deserve it the most,” and “Your smile lights up the world.” “People really responded to those – because they were handmade,” said Yvette. To thank the students, Yvette arranged to reward them with a kind act in return. She contacted the local pro baseball team, the Winnipeg Goldeyes, who offered every student two free tickets to an upcoming game. “The team was part of the Pay It Forward ripple effect – we went to the school and surprised the kids with the tickets and the baseball team’s mascot!” said Yvette.

Condos Cancelled! How to AVOID the Bad Apples!
Recently, there is has been a series of captivating publicity battles that builders have been going through. We focused on Mattamy’s freehold subdivision last week (if you missed it you can read it by clicking here), but this week, we will shift our attention to Liberty Development’s cancellation of Cosmos Condos and how buyers could have avoided this pitfall.
The One That Got Away – The impact of the Cosmos development has gotten a lot of people worried about other potential project cancellations. According to The Altus Group, since January 2017, there have been a total of 17 projects cancelled in the GTA, totalling 3,627 units to date. However, none were as alarming as Liberty Development’s Cosmos, which cancelled approximately 1,100 units across the 3 towers.
All of these cancellations are unfortunate for the buyers involved because they thought they had bought something for a great price a few years ago. Now with this cancellation, their deposits are being returned and they lost the investment opportunity they once had. As the market has gone way up in the last year, some of these buyers have been potentially priced out of the market now.
1) Liberty Group got greedy as they sold this project at $600 per square foot and now Vaughan has reached almost $900 per square foot with the subway opening in December.
2) Hard cost (materials and labour) and soft costs (permits and interest) have gone up significantly, making builder profits very slim or even in a loss position.
3) The City has not been cooperative with the permits and holding the land has been expensive.
In recent Insight Articles, I have been talking about the increasing costs to build. This is a real challenge as labour cost has increased significantly in the last few years and the demand for construction works has outpaced the supply. The usual profit margin for a condo for the builder is about 15% (yes, it’s not as high as you think it is), so if construction costs have gone up dramatically, development charges have doubled, and permit processing has slowed down in the last few years, then there really isn’t that much room for profits given the amount of risk taken on by the developer.
Keep Calm and Condo On – Hang on a second though, everybody keeps focusing in on the negatives because this is what grabs attention like no tomorrow. However, when you look on the flip side, a much different story can be told. As usual, the media tends to focus on the negative news. Viewers beware! Condo cancellations are anything but the norm – they are the exceptions and the bad apples of the bunch that tend to give everything else a bad rep.
Currently, there are approximately 420 condo projects in total, which includes projects that are selling, sold out, and under construction. Out of the 420 condo developments in the pipeline right now, this year, there have only been 4 cancelled projects – this is less than 1%. When this statistic is brought to light, it hardly seems like a problem at all. If you extrapolate historic trends, then only a small number of condo projects will be cancelled moving forward.
Back to Basics – In fact, any cancellation of large projects will put immense pressure on the supply and this would in turn only work towards further pushing up the prices. I spoke to an individual last week looking for a pre-construction condo to live in who was part of the fallout from Cosmos. They are back in the market now because they ultimately need a home to live in.
From an investment perspective, when I hear that supply is tight, it tells me that there will be high demand for pre-construction condos, whether it is for rental or for sale upon project completion. An asset that you have in high demand usually signifies growth!
At the end of the day, there will always be pressure on the supply until we see an actual increase in supply. We are not building enough housing for the sheer demand that we have, and this is before factoring in our massive projected immigration growth.
So how do we protect ourselves and AVOID picking the bad apples?
1) The first thing we want to do is make sure that we buy from a reputable builder, especially one who has a longstanding history of completing projects.
2) We want to make sure the builder has gotten their permits or at least in the process of getting them. Newer builders have a harder time obtaining permits to build from the City, especially after the recent changes to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
3) Make sure the builder is registered with Tarion, who provides new home warranty protection to more than two million Ontario homes. They serve new home buyers and new home owners by ensuring that one of their life’s biggest investments is protected.
4) Do your best to avoid buying from local “start-up” builders who does not have any reputation in the market. Most of the cancelled projects have come from builders who were either very new to the game or very small businesses.
The Wrap – At the end of the day, any worthwhile investment has some aspect of risk associated with it. It’s always best to do your own due diligence on the builder and the project, make sure that you understand the risks involved, and cap the downside with the 4 suggestions above.
All of the condo investment projects that we recommend to our clients have been vetted by us. We only approve of the very best investment projects out there. As mentioned before, there are currently 420 projects, but we have only recommended a small handful out of this bunch. We personally hand-pick the best of the best, for you to live well and invest well.

Since 2007 we have been offering our clients an improved and more effective way for selecting their strategic and creative advertising agencies. The Strategic Workshop approach has provided agencies and our clients with a methodology for really being able to assess each other and evaluate more effectively how well they would work together.
Unlike the traditional creative pitch approach or as some call it the “creative beauty parade” where you only get to see the outcome to the brief you provided, our strategic workshop approach really lets you test drive the agency before you make a choice.
The strategic workshop approach differs from the typical creative brief in that when a shortlist of agencies is decided, instead of providing a creative brief for the agency to develop recommendations, we provide the agencies with a strategic problem / opportunity and then undertake a full strategy planning day with each agency. During the strategy workshop the marketing team work with the agency using the agencies own strategic planning process to develop a solution.
It allows the marketing team to work with the agency to discover how well they work together and see the process unfold before them.
It allows the marketing team to see how and who in the agency drive the process and insights (often marketers can be left wondering who worked on the idea as in the traditional process this is hidden).
The marketers get to work with three agencies on a problem or project that is important to them.
It takes no more time than the traditional process once you account for briefings, question and answer sessions and the final presentations.
Often the strategy and the concepts are more suitable due to the fact they are effectively co-created as will be the case when appointed.
Marketers report being able to make more informed decisions on agency best fit.
Both marketers and the agencies that have used the Strategy Workshop process report better and more sustainable outcomes. Even the agencies that are unsuccessful find the process more open and transparent.
How does this compare with the agency search and selection processes you have used? Let me know with your comment here.

This Working Paper Seminar examines how the concept of 'native dignity' underwent two reversals as it passed from a revolutionary European context to the colonial context of 19th century Australia.
In the first reversal, the concept of native dignity that emerged in Europe in the 18th century as an emancipatory human-based 'natural' understanding of dignity, in opposition to an oppressive status-based 'artificial' dignity, became, in the colonial context, its opposite: an artificial dignity that Aboriginals could only possess if remade in the image of the European. Equal dignity of Europeans became, in short, abject undignity for Aboriginals.
At the same time, to counter British colonialism and its civilising mission, and to assert their own power and authority, Aboriginals deployed an anti-colonial concept of dignity that was particular to their position in time and space, and that Europeans could not possibly possess, at least not without becoming Aboriginal. Thus, in a second reversal, a status-based concept of dignity, which in the European context had been a source of oppression, became, in the colonial context, a source of “native dignity” for Aboriginals, and a mode of liberation.
This argument is presented through a reading of the painting 'Native Dignity' (1860) by Anglo-Australian artist ST Gill, along with analysis of archival material on Australian colonialism and Aboriginal resistance and assertions of authority. Mimesis, of both an imperial and a critical-parodic kind, provides a key analytical concept for understanding the operations and reversals of native dignity.
Shane Chalmers is a McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institute for International Law and the Humanities at Melbourne Law School. He researches, writes and teaches on law, imperialism and social justice through various combinations of critical theory, cultural studies, history, and philosophy. He is currently working on a book that uses the Bakhtinian figures of the Fool, the Clown, and the Rogue to retell a critical history of colonial law and society in southern Australia in the midnineteenth century. Before that, Shane completed a PhD at the Australian National University, which culminated in the book, Liberia and the Dialectic of Law: Critical Theory, Pluralism, and the Rule of Law (Routledge, 2018), bringing Theodor Adorno’s dialectical philosophy to bear on the making and remaking of Liberia as a freedom project.

Svart is an inspiring converter and artist. His works can be found an various modeling and painting forums. Some of his recent projects include sculpting several items for Secret Weapon Miniatures.
Here’s how to make any blade look like a power blade by adding power cabling that runs along the blade and then into it.
So go very slowly and carefully, keeping a close eye on the other side of the blade so you know when to stop.
I’m leaving these two bits of cabling as they are for now, since this blade was converted purely for the purposes of this tutorial, but on a finished model you’d want to green-stuff in the end of any power line you added so it blends smoothly in with the rest of the weapon’s detail.
It’s a simple enough idea, but you have to be very careful with something as fiddly as this. The old adage of ‘measure twice, cut once’ is always a good one to keep in mind when modelling, but especially with this sort of thing – alwaysdry-join pieces to see whether the lengths are right and that things sit properly, in this case paying particular attention to making sure the power line sits flat against the blade when the end piece is inserted into its hole.
And there you have it. I simple and effective way to make your own power weapons.

Ordinary motorists took to social media to express their frustration as public transport, cyclists and pedestrian were given preference on the streets of Sandton this week.
But the City of Johannesburg says it’s all for a good cause. The City has been hosting the second EcoMobility World Festival in Sandton since the beginning of October, which also coincide with the national Transport Month.
The month-long global event aims to promote the use of non-motorised transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decongest the city and improve the environment.
Joburg is the second to host the world festival, with the aim to decongest major cities by reducing the number of private cars on the roads and allow free movement of people around cities.
Organisers says EcoMobility is designed to “hand over” the cities back to the people, giving them the freedom to cycle, walk, jog and stroll freely. It is also intended to reduce the amount of air pollution and make the world a cleaner place to live in.
According to the City of Joburg, over 100 000 cars move in and out of Sandton between 7:30am and 8:30am daily. At the end of each day, it is estimated that about 80 000 cars enter and leave the Sandton central business district and the number of commuters in the area grows by 3.4% per year.
The City has defended its decision to host the festival, citing long term benefits.
“Sandton will grind to a halt, unless major interventions are made. Time lost in traffic is revenue loss for business,” it said.
During the launch of the festival, Johannesburg City Mayor Parks Tau said congestion in Sandton city contributed to the economic inefficiency that the city needed to overcome.
“As it stands, the economic impact that results from congestion in the whole of South Africa is over R1 billion, and Johannesburg accounts for the highest loss with more than 1.5 million vehicles registered across the metropolitan.
“As the city’s economic hub and Africa’s richest square mile, Sandton is under threat of becoming a giant parking lot and subsequently collapsing our economic well-being.
“We need to enable the economy to flourish by having less people who spend a lot of time in their cars instead of being productive. We don’t want people stuck in their cars because of congestion,” said Mayor Tau.
A number of roads in Sandton have been closed to allow cyclists, pedestrians and runners “to regain their freedom on the roads”.
Residents and those who work in Sandton City have been encouraged to make use of public transport.
Speaking at the official opening of the festival this week, Transport Minister Dipuo Peters also encouraged South Africans to use public transport rather than their own private cars during the EcoMobility World Festival 2015.
Minister Peters said the event also showed that South Africa had a national climate change response strategy.
“We are committed to sustainable development. We are committed to ensure that we build cities of tomorrow, by making sure that we can move with the new technology. We also want to make sure that this technology will create jobs for our people,” she said.
Mayor Tau said the EcoMobility World Festival is an introduction to the future.
“We see the Ecomobility World Festival as a precursor to the future of Sandton and Johannesburg,” he said.
Amongst dignitaries who graced the launch this week were Korean Mayor for the City of Suwon, Yeom Tae-Young. The City of Suwon was the first to host the Festival in 2014.
Yeom commended the brave step taken by Mayor Tau and the City of Johannesburg.
While some were frustrated by the inconvenience of not using their cars, a number of people in have taken to social media to express their excitement about the festival. Many expressed the joy of walking and using other forms of transport. Many shared their pictures using hashtags #Ecomobilityfestival and #Joburgecomobility.
The City of Johannesburg said it’s investing significant significantly in public transport infrastructure and this investment includes the introduction of the Bus Rapid Transit system a few years ago. Cycling lanes in the Sandton CBD have also been expanded. But all of this needs to be accompanied by behavioural change, something officials said motivated hosting the festival.
During the festival, there will be dedicated test track to be used by the public to test and ride the different offerings on display.
“The exhibition is contextualised in South Arica and narrates Johannesburg’s distinct commuter history. It highlights the impact of apartheid policies on spatial planning and explores how these inequalities are being redressed through the City of Johannesburg’s ‘Corridors of Freedom’,” said the City.

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day and I can not believe the end of the semester is here. In these last few months we have discussed so many topics about technology in regards to education. I personally enjoyed the semester getting to hear and learn from so many different individuals in this class.
Course Blog: Each week we were given a prompt to complete. It usually followed the Great debates, which always kept the posts interesting.
Interactions: This was an interesting class because it was smaller then the previous EDTC. I got to interact countless times with my classmates. In the Mini-Lesson plans, I collaborated with a peer purely online. It turned out to better then I thought it would! We used resources such google docs, google power point, flip-grid, and zoom in one lesson plan. Other ways I connected with my peers was through commenting on blogs.
Twitter: I can finally say that, I am used to twitter. I liked finding articles that were interesting not only to me, but hopefully for my classmates as well.
Mentoring: A part of the Networked Professional Learning we were given the opportunity to mentor students from the EDTC300 class. I was a bit nervous because I just took that class in the previous semester and I am only a second year student. What I didn’t not suspect was how difficult it was going to be, to make positive critiques without sounding to negative. It made worry a bit, but I focused on just supporting and asking the odd question in hopes in challenge their own thinking.
It was interesting though when I thought about critiquing their blogs sites, I suddenly started looking at my own in comparison. A few of the these individuals had wonderful blogs with great presentation and organization (those individuals happen to be fourth year students). Seeing some of their blogs inspired me to change a few things of my own! I know this was about about helping them in their course, but I learnt a lot too!

DFW Rocks Social Media 2014 is over … and Rocks Digital is on the agenda for next year and I am keeping my blogging fingers limber!
This was my first time live-blogging and it was honestly nothing like I expected. But not in a bad way at all. It was so much more fun than I had anticipated, and there was so much knowledge to assimilate and distill it was a little overwhelming at times – trying to capture wisdom and determine what will matter to other people isn’t simple.
Social Media is fabulous for creating connections.
You can connect globally in an instant. And I am a firm believer that “Internet Friends” are as much “real friends” as people you sit down to dinner with regularly. You can argue that your Internet Friends will never be around to help you move, but that isn’t what makes a friend a “real” friend in my book.
I made several connections at the conference and I am looking forward to keeping in touch with several people. There is one particular connection (I’m not going to name names) that I am still a little surprised about. If you had told me before the conference that I’d “click” with this person I probably would have scoffed … but somehow I found the courage to actually be conversational (I’m much more comfortable with the written word) and I’m glad I took the leap of faith.
The one big thing I am taking away from the whole experience is that connections matter.
Not just “liking” someone’s Facebook page or “following” them on Twitter or adding them to a circle on G+ or adding them as a “connection” on LinkedIn. The connections need to go beyond that. Beyond the keyboard, beyond the computer screen … the connections need to be deeper and more meaningful. And the connections are why I am already looking forward to next year.
Many thanks to Lissa Duty for allowing me the honor and privilege of live blogging at the conference.
See y’all next year at Rocks Digital 2015!

West Highland Terriers are a spunky and fun smaller breed of dog that needs a lot of mental stimulation to prevent them from becoming bored. For dog parents, this can be a challenge when you’re trying to balance between finding a durable toy that is also fun and interactive.
This is why we rounded up and reviewed the best toys for Westies that showcase a broad range of different types of toys ranging from plush to puzzles. However, we want you to take a look at our buyer’s guide before you get to the reviews because this buyer’s guide will give you essential criteria to keep in mind when you shop for your next dog toy.
As small and fiery as this breed of dog is, they require more durable toys to withstand the dog’s natural prey drive. Westies were originally bred to be working dogs to help exterminate rodents, and this prey drive carries strong today.
This means that your dog will naturally be harder on their toys, and this includes chewing, burrowing, and just generally tossing them around as they play. Buying toys for Westies is an interesting mix of getting a durable toy that will also stimulate them mentally.
Westies are also a very smart breed of dog that gets bored easily without routine stimulation, and this is where the puzzle element of the toys come in. The key is to keep your dog interested in their toys instead of your items, and giving them a rotating series of toys is usually an excellent tactic.
These dogs also have a lot of energy that has to be expelled somehow during the day to keep any destructive tendencies in check. Getting them toys that they can chase around is a good idea because it’ll fulfill their prey drive while tiring them out as play with it.
Puzzles – Dog puzzle toys usually involve a treat at the end of some type of puzzle. You can get balls that dispense treats when your dog moves it around, puzzles that require your dog to open a door, and puzzles that make your dog look for the treat or plush.
Chewing – Chewing dog toys are dog toys that are specially designed to withstand heavy chewing and rough play. They usually come with minimal stuffing or no stuffing, more durable materials, and reinforced stitching.
Plush – Some Westies like to carry around and sleep with plush toys. These toys can come with a squeaker to keep your dog entertained, and these toys also have more stuffing with a soft outer layer.
Rope – Rope toys are literally long pieces of cotton rope with several knots tied at varying length along the rope. Your dog can toss these around, chew on them, and play tug of war with you or another dog in the house.
Fetch – Fetch dog toys are toys that are very easy for you to throw for your dog to chase. They can be slightly weighted balls, frisbees, plush toys, or knotted balls that mix a rope toy with a throwing toy.
Kongs – Kong toys are designed to withstand heavy chewing or playing. They’re durable rubber toys that usually come with a hole that dispenses treats when your dog plays with it.
There are several buying considerations to keep in mind when you’re shopping for a new toy for your dog. Ensuring that your dog’s toys have some or all of these traits can help them last longer.
Since Westies can be more aggressive when they play with their toys, it’s essential that you get a toy that is durable enough to withstand this rough play. Look for things like minimal stuffing, reinforced seams, a durable outer material, and no hanging pieces that your dog can grab on and tear away.
You want to get a toy that isn’t too big or too small for your dog to pick up, carry around, or toss around when they play. You can look for toys that come in a few different sizes that allow it to grow with your dog, and make sure that the toys you pick are easy to care for.
Your dog’s toys are going to get dingy and grimy because your dog will drool and chew on them as they play. Whichever toy you choose should be easy to clean and maintain, and this includes being able to toss them into the washer and dryer whenever they need a refresh.
It’s important to pick out age appropriate toys for your dog, and this is especially true if you’re worried about your dog swallowing parts of it. As a general rule, you don’t want to buy toys that are small enough to fit behind your dog’s back molars because they can choke on it.
The texture of your toys will largely depend on your dog’s tastes because there are several available. You may have to try several different textures before you find out which one your dog prefers to have over the other types.
This durable and soft squeaky toy by Kong comes with minimal filling, and this minimal filling helps you to have less mess if your dog manages to tear a hole in it. This toy also comes with an additional material layer that helps to protect the toy from damage when your dog chews on it or tosses it around.
The two different sizes make it easy to customize your order to suit your dog’s tastes and needs. You can also choose from nine different animal characters that range from light colors to darker colors, and the eyes are sewn in for added durability and longevity.
This toy is very easy to clean and maintain because you can just toss it in the washing machine and dryer when it gets grungy or dirty. Additionally, it comes with a squeaker sewn into the body of the toy that can help to entice your dog to pick it up and play with it.
Westie parents who bought this toy for their dog liked that it came in two different sizes that allowed them to pick the size that worked best for their dog’s size. Westie parents did say that the squeakers weren’t the most durable because they broke easily.
This puzzle toy dispenses treats when your dog moves it around and plays with it. You can adjust the toy through several difficulty levels as your dog learns how to get the treats out, and this toy comes with a clear side that allows you to see how full it is.
The ball comes designed to be very easy to twist apart into two halves for easy and thorough cleaning. You can use a variety of soft or hard treats with this toy without a problem, and this toy works very well for several different treat sizes and shapes.
The toy is available to buy in two different sizes and two different packaging options. The build material is a very strong and non-toxic plastic that is built to withstand extended play sessions, and the toy is lightweight enough for smaller puppies to push around without a problem.
Dog parents who bought this interactive treat toy for their dog were happy that it came with a clear plastic side that allowed them to measure the treat levels at a glance. Dog parents did mention that this hard plastic toy wouldn’t be able to withstand chewing without cracking or breaking.
This plush puzzle toy stimulates your dog with a fun game of hide and seek, and this toy also comes in several different sizes that allows you to tailor the toy’s size to suit your dog’s size.
You get three plush squirrel toys along with the tree trunk plush when you purchase this item, and each of the squirrels come equipped with a squeaker to help get and hold your dog’s interest. You can order more of the plush animals if your dog needs them, and there are hidden squeakers in the base of the toy.
The plush animals also double as a fun fetch toy because they’re slightly weighted for throwing purposes. Your dog will be able to stay entertained as they work out how to get the toys in and out of the tree trunk, and it’s easy to clean by throwing it into the washer and dryer.
People who bought this interactive toy for their dog liked that they could use it as a hide and seek toy as well as a fetching toy. People did mention that the larger size may not be big enough for very large breeds of dogs because the holes are too small.
This durable rubber ball comes in five sizes ranging from mini up to jumbo, and the body of the ball comes made out of a durable and non-toxic rubber material. The unique design lets your dog pick it up, toss in around, and chew on it without fear of destroying it.
The different sizes allow you to buy toys that grow with your dog, and this is great news if your Westie gets really attached to it and outgrows it. It comes in very bright and bold colors that are very easy to see and keep an eye on when your dog plays with them outside.
This chew toy doubles as an interactive treat ball that allows you to stuff it with larger treats and let your dog figure out how to remove them. The breathable design ensures that your dog is able to chew on this toy for hours at a time without worrying about it cutting off their airflow.
Dog parents who purchased this toy for their dog liked that they could pick from a few different sizes and quantities when they ordered. Dog parents did say that this toy doesn’t stand up well to very aggressive chewing without breaking down.
This colorful rope toy is just over two-feet long, and this rope toy features three durable knots that your dog can chew and tug on when they play. It comes in five different sizes ranging from tiny to jumbo, and the rope fibers act as a natural floss for your dog’s teeth when they use it.
The rope toy is made out of 100% cotton fibers that are safe if your dog should happen to swallow a piece of it, and the durable construction makes it difficult for your dog to shred it. This toy is a great option for a multiple dog household, and this toy lets several dogs play at one time.
Your dog’s teeth will get a thorough cleaning each time your dog plays with it, and you should start to notice that your dog’s teeth and breath are healthier when they play with it. The bright color combination makes this toy easy to spot if your dog takes it outside to play with it as well.
Westie parents who bought this rope toy for their dog were pleased that they could pick from a few different sizes when they ordered it. Westie parents did point out that this rope toy’s ends tended to fray with repeated chewing.
Our pick for the best toys for Westies is the KONG Cozies Dog Squeaky Toy because it’s a softer option that still manages to withstand chewing because it has an additional layer for protection. We also liked that it had a smaller amount of stuffing that made less mess if it got a hole in it.
The two different sizes that came with this toy made it easy to pick out a size that corresponded with our dog’s size. Finally, this toy was very easy to keep clean because we could wash it dry it in the washer and dryer without a problem.

Wedding plans for many couples using Chewton Place have been thrown into turmoil once again, a little over 12 months after a previous business went bust. Chewton Place itself does not organise events but lets the venue to function organisers. At Christmas 2011, Aspire Venues ceased trading, leaving many people out of pocket for deposits paid and without a wedding venue. Former Aspire employee Rebecca Bozeat-Manzi, worked to try and rescue arrangements and a new company, Bozeat Palmer Contracts, was subsequently set up to continue the business. Last week, that company wrote to customers with events booked at the Chewton Keynsham venue advising them that they had been given notice to quit by the venue owners, Longcap Developments. According to Ms Bozeat-Manzi, she believes the owners wanted the company out Chewton Place so they can consider alternative uses for the venue.
While customers with forward bookings lost their deposits after the collapse of Aspire, Bozeat Palmer has promised customers that any money paid will be refunded. A statement posted on the Chewton Place website says: “The directors of Longcap Developments Limited, the owners and Landlords of Chewton Place are forcing us to leave by 10th April 2013 meaning that we will not be able to run your wedding at Chewton Place. We asked Longcap for an extension and even agreed to a higher rent to allow time for you to make other arrangements for your wedding. Yesterday we applied for a postponement on compassionate grounds in the courts but in the face of Longcap’s solicitor’s opposition, the law could not help. Finally last night David Long confirmed to me that Simon Caple would not allow any extension. [David Long is the “long” and Simon Caple is the “cap” in Longcap. Simon was also the director of Aspire Venues Limited, the previous operating company from Chewton Place, which went into liquidation on Christmas Eve 2011].

Hello there, my name is Kaitlyn. I began a love affair with quilting and fabric at a very young age. When I was 11 years old I received Pottery Barn Teen magazines in the mail. I would flip through their pages for hours, just dreaming of a bedroom where everything matched. I asked my mom one day if she’d help me make a quilt. Being a new quilter herself we set out on a journey. I picked a pattern and drew out a picture of the churn dash design, I colored in all the squares and triangles, and took it to the fabric store. We showed the lady at the cutting counter and she said, “I have just the fabric for you.” She proceeded to pull out a stack of beautiful bright colors from under the counter, her own personal stash (I quickly learned what those were having worked at a quilt shop for 5+ years). That is where it began.
I’m grateful that at a young age I was able to learn a skill that has carried me through all the ups and downs of my life. A talent and hobby that brings me so much JOY. I love to create and design. I expanded my love of creating quilts to bag, and clothing. I love to see how I have grown and improved as a quilter over the past 15 years.
I hope this space inspires you to continue creating whatever it is you love to create! Thanks for stopping by!

Brilliant post. Loved them in Suburbia and only had all of them on cassette from my tape trading days. Much much appreciated. Zer!
has someone succeed in downloading the live at the dive cd??
Host site doesn't works properly.
Hi Zer, I tried to download some different files but always failed, the download seems to finish well (bitrate coincide) but when I open it RAR says "unespected end of archive" and for a single song "the archive is either in the unknown format or damaged"
It's a known and recurring problem. You can only try to download again until iut works. I will move to a more reliable service soon.
il y a un probleme avec le live at a dive, je peux pas choper plus de 64KB (cad rien), que ce soit avec firefox, un utilitaire de telechargement ou que j'essaye de transferer le fichier sur mediafire!!
ca donne quoi quand tu testes de ton coté???
Oui ce lien est pourri, inutile d'insister malheureusement... Je commence une migration sur un serveur plus fiable la semaine prochaine. Plus d'infos bientôt.
Hi Zer! There's something wrong with the download links of 'What Good is Grief to a God' and 'Life at a Dive'. I tried several times during the last days. Would you mind fix them?
Try again (maybe several times), the server often drops the connection before the file is complete..
Wrong website dude, this is not the official DI page and I am not a member of the band.

We’re now into Day 2 of SMX Sydney and I finally have power so can get back into the live blogging.
Greg Grothaus from Google’s web spam team is up now to talk about Real Time Search. Greg starts by talking about Real Time Search and shows examples of what it looks like. He says events like the Iceland volcano are perfect examples of how RT search is relevant. People who are tweeting from airports about flight delays etc.
– was that an earthquake?
– did a celebrity just die?
– is Greg’s talk worth going to?
If you want to see trends in RT Search, go to Google Trends.
Gave the example of a power outage in Palo Alto, where people have no PCs so pull out their phones and do searches in Google for “power outage Palo Alto”. Google RT Search can show them instantly information the cause of the outage etc, therefore RT search is very relevant.
– type in a search query and you can see what people are talking about right now about that subject.
– Australia has the highest time per person social media usage In.The.World. 7 hours per week??
– The impact of social media can no longer be denied and marketers need to be paying very close attention.
– Your customers are interacting more with their social network.
– Less about optimizing your content, more about getting your users to write/communicate about your brand or products.
– Think of Google Trends – use the information to your advantage.

With two wins already under his belt, Peter Hickman heads into tomorrow’s Macau Grand Prix in pole position and favourite to take not only the race win but also complete his hat-trick after a blistering performance in final qualifying today.
Having taken victories already in 2015 and 2016, Thursday’s opening day had seen the Louth-based rider top the opening qualifying session with a time of 2’25.429s, ahead of team-mate Michael Rutter and while it was the latter who set the initial pace on Friday morning, Hickman moved ahead halfway through the session.
The Aspire-Ho by Bathams Racing rider put in a lap of 2m25.022s but near the end of the 45-minute session, the timing screens showed he was on a rapid lap with the fastest sector times all the way round the 3.8-mile circuit.
Indeed, as a he flashed across the line, his lap of 2m23.904s on his BMW S1000RR was not only four tenths of a second quicker than he’d ever gone before but also just 0.288s outside Stuart Easton’s outright lap record which was set back in 2010.
Rutter went quicker in the closing stages too but was still over a second adrift although with a 1-2 for the team, they’re more than hopeful of a repeat performance in Saturday’s 12-lap race.

Featured Haunts: Haunted Barn (website hosted here) and Tormented Souls (sponsor).
Bus picks you up at Edgewood Park and takes you to the actual location (no parking at the actual haunt site).
Nov 1, 8:30pm-11pm. Haunt and Zee-Pocalypse will be open 7pm-11pm, too.
2014 DMHH SPONSOR: They have decided to keep the haunt and Zee-Pocalypse running one more night, and added an alcohol-free Halloween party: Party admission includes costume contest (cash prizes), prizes every half hour, entertainment, food, drink (no alcohol served). Combo packages are available that include the party as well as the haunt and Zee-Pocalypse.
18 DAYS: Oct 3-4, 9-11, 16-19, 23-26, and 28-Nov 1. (19 & 26 are "Kid Friendly" 1pm-5pm days). 7pm-11:45pm on Fri/Sat. 7pm-10pm on other nights. Nov 1 adds the "Aftershock Costume Party" (8:30-11pm).
2014 DMHH SPONSOR: This new haunt (opened in 2013) is one of the longest around. This year, the layout is completely different. Your visit begins by being picked up at Edgewood Park by the "Terror Bus" to be driven out to the haunted coal mining town of Zook Spur. A narrator on the bus will give you the first part of the story. Once there, you choose one or both of the haunted house or the Zee-Pocalypse paintball zombie hunt. The haunt begins by meeting the Sherriff and then you wind your way through endless twisty hallways and through dozens of scenes. Pay attention to all the details - there are so many props (many are animated), lights and details you could go through this several times and still not catch it all. Tons of actors will do their best to startle you along the way and you will come face to face (literally) with a huge animatronic figure and walk through the fastest spinning tunnel at any haunt in the area. Winner of two 2013 DMHH Awards for "Best Prop" and "Best Vortex Tunnel."
2014 DMHH SPONSOR: This is DMHH's favorite attraction for 2014! A brand new addition to the Tormented Souls Haunt!

On the hunt, you ride in a trailer (seating 9 or 11 guests) and fire flourescent paint balls at "real" zombies as they attack, as well as other targets along the way. You guide uses his spotlight to point out the attacking zombies in case all the high powered blacklights on the trailer don't light them up enough for you. Fortunately, the zombies do not know how to use paintball guns so they don't shoot back. Fee includes use of the mounted paintball gun and 50 paintballs, but extra paintballs can be purchased ($5 for each 50). It is so much fun you will probably want to buy a few more rounds during your ride. Capacity is limited, so reservations are recommended.

From a response on their Facebook page 10/10: "White Water's Ultimate Haunted House: Due to the new city ordinances put in place by the City of Pleasant Hill, (some of which are nearly impossible to incorporate) the haunted house did not pass inspection and was closed by the city. The owners are trying to get back in business before the month is over." Once I hear back from them, I will revise the listings here.
(NOT OPERATINNG) $20 VIP pass available this year. Numerous changes planned for the haunt this year, too. Winner of the 2013 DMHH Award for "Cutting Edge" and Runner Up for "Best Vortex Tunnel."

A MUST SEE! A jaw-dropping walk-thru experience of lights, sounds and special effects. It features large props (a pirate ship in water, with firing cannons), waterfall, animatronic characters, lush soundtrack, etc. In 2012, it felt like walking through parts of Disney's Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean rides. 2013 added some zombiefied Duck Dynasty-like characters. Winner of the 2013 DMHH Award for "Best Home Haunt."
spookydesmoines.com - local (?) site listing most of the haunts now.
www.findahaunt.com - a great national site ran by Haunted House legend Leonard Pickel. He was the only national index last year that was 100% accurate for Des Moines, and I will be getting him updates this year, too.
www.funtober.com - national site with a page for Iowa and one for Des Moines area. They currently list one current haunt, and one that (so far) is not happening this year.
www.hauntworld.com - national site that Tormented Souls Haunt is running a cool banner ad with. They still list The Asylum even though it hasn't ran for two years.

I like the new direction that the theme is moving - the other side of the window. I look forward to what comes next.
I'm not sure myself where this "window journey" will end. In my search for windows I've found so many beautiful paintings - and not only windows - that I'm tempted to start another theme when I run out of windows.
Please do. I have seen so many pictures I would never have come across had you not shown them here.

Are you an Igtheist or a Transtheist?
Ignosticism, or igtheism, is the theological position that every other theological position (including agnosticism) assumes too much about the concept of god and many other theological concepts.
Transtheism refers to a system of thought or religious philosophy which is neither theistic, nor atheistic. Indologist Heinrich Zimmer applies the term to the theological system of Jainism, which is theistic in the limited sense that the gods exist, but become immaterial as they are transcended by moksha (that is, it is a system which is not non-theistic, but in which the gods are not the highest spiritual instance). The term has more recently also been applied to Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta and the Bhakti movement.
I think I’m a sort of transigtheist… now I’m going to eat some cheese.
Very intriguing indeed. I tend towards the atheistic, but frequently rub shoulders with igtheism and indeed transtheism at times. have you heard of Mark C. Taylor and the idea of ‘a/theology’? It seems to run along similar lines.
Now I’m off for a cup of tea!
You might want to consider some crackers with that cheese. I recommend going with Digestives – it’s that sweet/savoury combination, bit like ‘transigtheism’ in food form.
I can’t seem to stop myself being theistic and the Pagan in me wrestles with the concept of Moksha, although I admire the spiritual practices that are used as a means to achieve it. So, I am not sure whether I could be truly transtheistic.
I think (if I have the definition right) that I am probably a bit Ignostic – concepts are merely concepts and the thing itself (the Divine) is to me ultimately impossible to define. Got a feeling that isn’t what it means, so I might not be that either.
I’m afraid this druid has eaten all the cheese Maria.
:0) Typical! I might now have to dunk my cheeseless digestive in Finbarr’s cup of tea!
Being a student of a system based on Advaita, I’d be in the transtheism group. But isn’t that what Druidism would have at its essence, if the cosmology/metaphysics of Iolo etc. were taken seriously?
very interesting indeed. Can I just say I’m a me? hehe.
I tried to explain my beliefs as a mix of animism, pantheism and theosophy, I understand it, but its hard to explain.
Truth is that there are as many variations in belief as there are people, we are, after all, all artists trying to paint the same rose, but veiwing it from different angles 🙂 too many labels in the world, not enough just letting be.
I just don’t have any words for this.
I’m an unknownist (a cult of one)… I think, therefore I don’t know.
Yes. Also a particle and a wave.
And I’d just eaten vegan “cheese” on a cracker. Seamless!

Royaumont Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey built between 1228 and 1235 with the support of Louis IX. Several members of the French Royal family were buried here (instead of Saint Denis Basilica), for example, three children and two grandchildren of Louis IX.
The abbey was dissolved in 1791 during the French Revolution and the stones were partly used to build a factory. However, the sacristy, cloister, and refectory remained intact.
In 1836 and 1838, respectively, two operas by German composer Friedrich von Flotow opened at Royaumont—Sérafine and Le Comte de Saint-Mégrin.
In the early 20th century, the abbey was bought by the Goüin family who in 1964 created the Royaumont Foundation, the first private French cultural foundation. Today, the abbey is a tourist attraction and also serves as a cultural centre.
From January 1915 to March 1919 the Abbey was turned into a voluntary hospital, operated by Scottish Women's Hospitals, under the direction of the French Red Cross. It was especially noted for its performance treating soldiers involved in the Battle of the Somme.
Totally magical place. It's a training centre for various companies, so it's not easy to get there. Very interesting history.
Fabulous facility for business meeting, great food, hosts could not do enough to help.
Great place for seminars. Excellent rooms. One minor issue: poor mobile coverage.

Language and culture learning may be some of the most draining and humbling things about beginning a new life on the field, yet they are also the very things that bring a worker to a place of contentment and effectiveness. Although the verse is kind of drastic (and we trust the women don’t experience it!), the frustration is real.
Father God, we ask that You give them courage, perseverance and energy for this process. Help them maintain (or develop) a sense of humor in the midst of the struggles. Grant them creativity (especially with little ones), discipline, interspersed with much grace. Guard them from the ever present comparison game with others.
Evangelical Christians have always been a very small minority, but some positive development is evident. Unfortunately, the growth immediately following Communism’s fall was replaced by relative stagnation in the new millennium.
a) Evangelical unity is progressing well from the divisions of years past, but genuine cooperation is still new territory for most churches. The Polish Evangelical Alliance now represents over 90% of evangelicals. Pray for the ministry of the Polish Ecumenical Council which brings together many Christian groups outside of the Roman Catholic Church. Pray that the Holy Spirit may bring reconciliation, fellowship and unity of vision in Jesus’ name.

At a meeting this month in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, representatives of the Organization of the Islamic Conference endorsed an Arab League initiative to promote national dialogue in Iraq. The Conference also condemned terrorist violence directed against the Iraqi people.
"They're starting to give Iraq's new government more support. Recently, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan have welcomed the Iraqi prime minister on official visits.... These are important steps, and Iraq's neighbors need to do more. Arab leaders are beginning to recognize that the choice in Iraq is between democracy and terrorism, and there is no middle ground. The success of Iraqi democracy is in their vital interests because if the terrorists prevail in Iraq, they will then target other Arab nations."
"Other nations have pledged more than thirteen-billion dollars in assistance to Iraq.... The World Bank recently approved its first loan to Iraq in over thirty years, lending the Iraqi government one-hundred-million dollars to improve the Iraqi school system.... And at the request of the Iraqi government, the U-N Security Council unanimously approved a resolution extending the mandate of the multinational force in Iraq through 2006. Earlier this year, the European Union co-hosted a conference for more than eighty countries and international organizations, so they can better coordinate their efforts to help Iraqis rebuild their nation."
"The Iraqi people are stepping forward to claim their liberty,' says Mr. Bush, "and they will have it."

This essay investigates the pervasiveness of the zombie figure in American culture as well as the recent renaissance of zombie literature and film after the 9/11 event. It argues that an application of René Girard’s theories on regenerative violence and ritualistic sacrifice on millennial zombie narratives exposes several contemporary anxieties, including a fear of external threats to the nation, an internal use of legitimate and illegitimate violence, and a continued use of the scapegoat mechanism. By analyzing the effects of violence on society, the essay briefly concludes that millennial zombie narratives suggest that the failure to recognize our violent nature proves detrimental for society.

Sometimes you just need a feel-good title in your collection. A game that invites you in to an adventure full of charm. Well kick back and enjoy that feel-good factor, brought to you by the very talented team at Playdius, this indie developer has produced a game that is full of action and exploration.
Away: Journey To The Unexpected, uses anime style storytelling and combines that with negotiation, and rogue-like elements to form an unforgettable world for you to star in.
You play the role of a regular kid who lives with his beloved grandparents. As a child you understand that your parents have a secret, and that they are forbidden to talk about it, even with you. However, you are worried by the length of there absence. It’s been weeks since you last saw them, add to that strange noises from the locked basement of your house, and your curiosity has got the better of you, as you investigate the strange going ons.
Your house plays the role of your base in the game, with many of the doors locked and only characters to interact with, you find your way to the basement to uncover that strange idiotic workmen have drilled a path into your basement. As you follow the path with your trusted stick handed to you by your pet dog, it’s up to you to go forth and whack the sense out of any foes that you encounter. Upon clearly the area, you discover a portal that will whisk you away to unexpected world, where you uncover a light – hearted story with the ultimate goal in rescuing your parents.
You must choose your path through the many doors, unlocking new areas to explore. Use your social skills along the way, as you look to recruit allies, to aid you in overcoming obstacles that lay in your way.
Away: journey to the unexpected, Is an FPS set in a beautiful 3D world. The game’s use of anime cartoon style graphics set the tone for a fantastic light-hearted fantasy adventure. The combat style system is perfect for all ages, the use of waving a stick at your enemies adds to the world of an ordinary child with innocent tendencies.
The World and level designs are full of charm and wonder, the colours are bright and rich, as you would expect in anime cartoon’s, and give you a warm sense of the journey and the importance of exploring as you travel the lands. The levels are vast and populated with wacky foe’s that have some how become infected due to a company called ‘Labiworks’ experiments with a liquid substance. This has caused an altering in the state of animals when they emerge from chrysalis. Squirrels become deadly flying squids and even humans become spiders.
As you travel through the area’s, you conclude that pretty much everything has been affected by this strange substance. There’s Forests, dessert’s and even out of space to explore, with pretty much all the games character’s available to interact with. Negotiate, persuade, or just show an act of kindness, and you just might make a friend for life.
Should you manage to befriend a mutated creature, they become playable and can aid you with there special abilities, from wizardry to the ability to heal. After all an adventure is so much better with friends.
The levels have a mixture of platform and parkour with in them, adding to the flow of the adventure. There are gold bars to collect throughout, which provide the currency for the level shop, just in case you need a nice burger to restore your heath and your friend’s energy on this wacky colourful but tiring expedition.
The shops are handy places not just offering food. Fireworks are available for you to launch at hard to hit enemies, and an extra friend slot is also purchasable to enable up to four characters to join your ranks.
The game has a handy on-screen map indicator, which plots the location of potential friendships, as well as ‘labiworks’ and story tasks to complete. There’s also a nice journal in the form of a school boy’s diary, to help you keep track of the story that’s unfolding before your eyes, with handy insights on your encounters and discoveries.
Away: Journey To The Unexpected, tries hard to throw lots of elements into the mix and come out with a winner. It’s bright and wacky world is certainly an interesting way to go. It certainly keeps you on your toes, the initial layout of the levels and their designs are excellently created and brought to life, giving a sense of awe and wonder. The use of the colours and the anime style gives the player a real treat which is easy on the eye, however the game has a major fault with its inconsistency of randomising levels and boss fights throughout.
If you can ignore those faults, and the repetitiveness that you will encounter, you will discover that Away, has plenty going for it, with its vast exploration and different lands. The enemies are varied in the game, and rather unique.
From killer veg, to exploding snowmen, this game has it all, oh, and cool robot knights from space to defeat. The combat system works well and your foe’s health is always clearly displayed above their heads, is a nice touch.
The game can be a little confusing at times, and I blame this on the games approach of trying to think of everything. For example, clearly not explained in the game lays an Experience point and upgrade system. This is only discovered when failing and dying. Each time you die you are presented with a screen of your experience points earned, these go towards health and character unlocks such as a charged attack and a trash can lid to defend yourself. The concept and thought are excellent and works well adding replay value to the game, engaging you to come back for more. The lack of explanation of this feature is certainly puzzling and left me wondering why it wasn’t unveiled from the get-go.
I enjoyed my time with Away: Journey To The Unexpected, and although I’m not a fan of Anime, the game stuck to its task. The developers have produced a title that is light hearted in the sense of an FPS…. Bravo!
