Burke County is located east of Asheville, the county seat is Morganton. With a population of 90,912 people, Burke County is a fairly decent sized county.
Burke was first settled by the Spanish in 1567, but Indian attacks eviscerated their colony and Europeans made no attempt to settle the area until 200 years later. The county was established in 1777, at this time it encompassed most of western North Carolina, with many counties later being formed from Burke. Those who came later were of Scots-Irish and German stock, they were mostly yeoman farmers and fiercely independent. Only a few families owned slaves.
Burke’s population is largely white, which has caused Democrats to struggle here recently as Republicans solidify their hold on majority white, rural counties. Burke gave Romney over 60% of the vote in last year’s election.
The economy is built around the agriculture and manufacturing industries. Burke provides substantial forest goods to North Carolina. Textiles once dominated the economy here but their decline has forced Burke into the manufacturing of other goods.
Burke votes Republican in federal, state, and legislative elections. The County Commission is also under Republican control. Democrats are strongest in Morganton. The eastern half of the county is a conservative bastion, while the western half is more competitive, with a Republican lean.
Forecast: Democrats have never been especially strong in Burke, but they used to do better. The last time Burke went Democrat in a federal race was back in 1998 when the county narrowly went for John Edwards, whose working class message appealed to voters. Many switched over after Clinton’s first term in 1996 and from then on out decided to not give any more chances to Democrats. Democratic support was further eroded here with the nomination of Barack Obama, who was not a good fit for this county or anywhere in this region. If Hillary Clinton is nominated, she will probably hold Republicans under 60% of the vote but even in an overwhelming landslide her chances of victory here are unlikely.
The county experienced a lowly 1.98% rate of growth during the 2000s decade. The white population is barely growing at 0.05%, but profound demographic change is unlikely because no other race is growing quickly. Burke has a surprisingly large Asian population, 3.50% as of the 2010 census. But white voters dominate in terms of population and voter registration, and an estimated 2/3rds of them opted for Romney last November. This composition of white, rural, working class voters means Republican victories for the foreseeable future.

The Annual Three Ships Service, ie the Mendi Service, was once again held at the St Paul’s Church, Tucker Street, Parson’s Hill PE on the 22 February 2015.
The Service was conducted by the Reverend Marc Barth, the Rector of St Paul’s. The Rev Barth has graciously agreed to become the Chaplain for the Legion in Port Elizabeth, replacing the Rev Fr P F Vietri CO who has been transferred to Bloemfontein by his church.
Some 80 Legionnaires, MOTH, Sea Cadet,RAFA/SAAFA, Naval Officer Association, Royal Society, St John Ambulance members and other Friends of the Legion attended the service. A further coincidence of note was that Mrs Lesley Moore, the granddaughter of CPO MacTavish, a member of the SS Mendi crew who went down with the ship, was among us to pay her respects on the day.
After the Processional Hymn and the welcome, Lgr Brian Klopper (Chairman) read the Legion Prayer – which incidentally he composed! Thereafter followed the Lesson by Legionnaire Wolfaardt. Lgr Declan Brennan gave an excellent address, his theme embraced 3 ships which has permeated our history from the time of Jan van Riebeek who arrived with 3 ships; the battle of Muizenberg in which three Royal Navy ships took part, and so on up to the three ships involved in the SAS President Kruger tragic sinking in 1982. The address was enjoyed by the congregation and informative to them as well.

1) if I use the free outputs (4) on the booster board included with the EZ Install Kit to control my blower fan and rotating beacons (both 12V), I dont need to worry about diodes on the devices correct? If i read the wiring diagrams completely, the extra 12v line on the booster board achieves this for the devices connected there?
- Mofsets on this booster should be able to hand 24V toys right?
- Is it OK to use the (-)/black terminal on the distribution bar on the ez install kit to connect a ground from the 24v power supply so they are all shared?
- If i do need 5v for this, I assume i could take a small 5v power supply I have, connect positive to the booster, and the negative to the (-) terminal on the distribution bar?
Thanks Zeb! As always appreciate your help on this!
1) The diode on the board should cover the fan and beacon outputs but it doesn't hurt to put one directly on the fan/beacon as well. It's always better to suppress the feedback as close to the source as possible. Make sure that the stripe is in the correct orientation (to the 12v line) or you will create a dead short through the diode.
2) - The mosfets are rated up to 48V, the traces are good up to 3A per output.
- Yes, connect the (-) of the power supply to the (-) of the distribution board (black terminal post is preferable as it is before the fuse).
- The 5v input is what powers the board, the 12v input supplies the diodes (if there are any) and the output of the mosfets. Best practice is to supply 5v but it will work off of 12v as well. Remove any diodes on the board from outputs that will be running at anything other than 12v and install the diodes remotely at the coil of the toy/chimes.
- Yup, just like the 24v supply.

I appreciate what you are pointing to, but I do not think it is an accurate portrayal of “our” grandparents’ lives. The world has always been disordered and, in fact, daily life is much more ordered now than it was in the past for those of us who are part of the educated elite. My grandparents barely escaped the holocaust. War, famine, poverty, revolution, displacement–these have always been features of human existence. There is nothing particularly exceptional about our situation in this sense. Most of the world has always lived on the brink of destruction of one form or another. Think of T’ang Dynasty China? The successive collapse of empires? There was never a predictable “now”, never a true prophylactic against the unknown.
What Gibson’s character is saying is that the stories people told about the future were more stable – not that shocks and surprises didn’t occur.
It would be interesting to try and look at it empirically to see if those stories were more stable or not.
One of the uncertainties that I believe has grown since the mid-1800s is that of the definition of “resources.” I grew up in an Africa that valued thatching grass but not sand (in both cases refering to building homes). Now thatch is despised in many African settings as old-fashioned compared to metal (for roofing), while sand for cement and concrete is much more valuable than mud. As I seek to practice the trans-generational aspect of sustainability I find myself wondering “how do I determine what my grandchildren will view as valuable resources – will any of today’s highly valued resources be displaced in favour of substances that I today do not regard as valuable and therefore worth conserving?” Am I trying to conserve and preserve the wrong things? In this sense the “grandfathers’ future” was much the same as their present. This has changed fundamentally.
Your example is good–the bewilderment over what may be of future value. But I am still not sure. Didn’t what we call tribal groups face similar problems due to migration, war and climactic shifts, ecological degradation on smaller scales than what we are confronting? Perhaps what we are talking about then is the global scale and rapidity of change? I’m still not sure that people did not fundamentally face the same kinds of problems. Think of Native Americans and the extinction of buffalos not so long ago. I realize that this is not a parallel to what you are describing, but it still goes to the question of the kinds of resources we teach our children to value in the face of uncertain futures.
Gibson is talking not about what people experience but the narratives that they use to organize what happens.
Many people have argued the WWI broke the shared narrative of progress from 19th century (e.g. Fussell’s The Great War and Modern Memory) and lead to a cultural reorganization in the West of new narratives.
Allen, T.F.H., Tainter, J.A., Pires, J.C., Hoekstra, T.W., 2001.
science in a post-modern world. Bioscience 51, 475–485.
“An example of how a narrative perspective can shape science can be seen in Cronon’s comparison of two historical narratives. Cronon (1992) looks at accounts of the historical ecology of the Great Plains. He notes that Bonnifield (1979) and Worster (1979) appear to agree on most of the facts of the white settlement of that region and the events immediately following the ecological disaster of the Dust Bowl. And yet Bonnifield’s story is heroic, with the European Americans changing their technology to accommodate drought, while Worster’s narrative is a tragedy of ecological degradation. Tragedies have a certain structure. That is, an accidental death is not a tragedy; a tragedy would be more like what befell Oedipus, who married a woman who, unbeknownst to him, was his mother. Cronon quotes the heart-rending closing lines of the autobiography of Plenty-coups, chief of the Crows: “After the buffalo went away, the hearts of my people fell to the ground and they could not lift them up again. After that nothing happened” (Linderman 1962, p. 311). Cronon continues, “The story that Plenty-coups loved to tell ended when the buffalo went away. All subsequent happenings were part of another story and there was neither sense nor joy in telling it…. After this nothing happened: not frontier progress, not the challenge of adaptation to an arid land, not the Dust Bowl. Just the nothingness that follows the end of a story” (p. 1367). How can there be agreement on the facts, as some science would have it, but diametrically opposed narratives in the minds of Bonnifield and Worster, or no narrative beyond the end of Plenty-coup’s story?
The critical point is that scientists always use narrative, and thus benefit from being self-conscious narrators. Science cannot make an infinite number of observations, and so se- lects, just like a narrator (Feyerabend 1962, Tainter and Lucas 1983). Narrative is always selective and gains significance from how events are signified, as does good science when it gives reasons for its interpretations. As Cronon (1992) shows, two historians (they could have been scientists) with the same “facts” in front of them can construct two entirely different scenarios simply by changing the narrative. The full chronicle helps not a bit, because not only is a full accounting of everything an impossibility, it is not a narrative, because no narrator has decided what mattered. Neither is attempting to make science account for everything a proper narrative, but is instead some version of laboratory stamp collecting. A narrative is not a chronicle of everything that happened, so there is no such thing as the ultimately true story. There- fore, in narrative, ultimate verity is beside the point.

Have a problem opening a .MDI file? We collect information about file formats and can explain what MDI files are. Additionally we recommend software suitable for opening or converting such files.
What is the .MDI file type?
The .mdi extension belongs to the Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI) file format, bound up with the respective file type (.mdi). MDI is a legacy proprietary format by Microsoft (MS), stemming from TIFF (Tagged Image File Format).
MDI was developed in the scope of the Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) system. Part of every previous MS Office release, MODI was finally discontinued by MS and removed from MS Office 2010 and later releases. MODI can still be installed manually, using installation packages provided by MS.
An .mdi file is a digital image file in the MDI format. Like TIFF, .mdi files can hold multiple images and textual data (OCR text). With MODI installed, MDI files could be produced from any MS Office document by printing to the MODI Writer virtual printer device.
MDI is/was expressly an MS Office-specific format, and its use should be discouraged in favor of standard formats like TIFF. Leftover .mdi files can be easily converted with a number of standalone and online tools into other document (.pdf) and image (.tiff, .jpg, .png) formats. MS provides its own free command-line MDI-to-TIFF converter (MDI2TIFConverter.exe).

PPC gives the fastest results, almost immediate, same day that campaign starts.
PPC can be used as a short-term or long-term strategy.PPC campaigns are effective because theymatches searchers who are looking for what your business has to offer using keywords and keyword phrases that match your products and services. You will often increases in traffic (clicks) and sales within a day or so; and,, the cost can be a fraction of what it costs to place ads in other advertising sites, both online and offline, like a like Yellow Pages, newspaper, magazines, trade-journals, television and radio. PPC campaigns can be designed in a way to target consumers from a particular geographic area, getting as finite as zip code. Organic SEO coupled with a PPC campaign can often be the optimal internet marketing with PPC creating the short-term opportunities and orgnic SEO the long-term ones.
KEYWORD RESEARCH. The highest traffic and costliest keywords and keyword phrases may not be the best for your PPC campaign. Often, a longer-tailed keyword phrase will cost less and convert better. If you have a limited budget, it makes even more sense because you cannot handle all the clicks that could be generated, so why not “skim the cream” and take the best. BSC has software that lets us analyze keywords for best fit for your company.
DISPLAY ADS. There are a number of “do’s and don’ts that should be observed when creating AdWord ads. BSC knows how to create the best ones that will get high “quality scores” and help convert the traffic into customer. Even better, good ads get the traffic for a lower price.
LANDING PAGES. Landing pages” are the first page the searcher lands on after clicking on the Sponsored Link. This page is critical to conversion of this traffic into customers. BSC will analze the structure and content on your website and determine if new, unique landing pages are needed. If so, they will create them.
ONGOING MONITORING. PPC is done on an “auction bidding” basis, which means it is dynamic and a never ending effort to insure placement is retained, new keywords are added, and that the overall program is running on the most cost-effective basis possible.
COST OF PPC CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT.Monthly cost is 15% of the budgeted “spend”, but not less than $499 a month ($299 if you are also an organic SEO client. BSC feels it can save you 40%-60% of what you would otherwise spend each month using our services with better selection of keyword, more effective display, appropriate landing pages, and monitoing of the program. There is also a one-tme Initial Set-Up Fee to cover the cost of analyzing the keywords, creating the display ads, and identifying the content and landing pages needed. This fee can range from $500-$1,500, and occasionally even higher.
Social media marketing is one of the fastest growing methods of establishing a brand, creating traffic and a “buzz”, and supporting other SEM marketing efforts.
We connect your products or services to thousands of people who may be interested in them; and link these social media sources to your website. The links themselves are very valuable, let alone the recognition and traffic that can be created.
Traffic and links can be created through a number of sources: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other social media sites. Acquisition costs can be extremely low and the benefit can be long-lasting.
CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT. Reviewing the company, its products and services, and its audience and then matching these factors up with the potential social media sources is an important evaluation process to be effective in this market. Cost is $500 for the evaluation and $299 per month to review results and refine the next month’s campaign. BSC will conduct A/B tests to determine the most effective social media source and the most effective content for displaying on those sources.
CONTENT CREATION. There are two ways to create content: 10 write content directly for the social media site, which will generally run 100-200 words; or, 2) write unique content of 500-800 words for the website and link with social media sites. BSC can create content under # 1) for $35 per entry (can also create customized pages on the social media sites for $100 each). For the longer content pages, cost is $50-$100 per page based on number of pages to be produced each month. (BSC also offers a service where they can generate a blog for every post on the company’s website to 20 highly rated social media sites for $150 a month (whether content is written by the company or by BSC. This service is not available as stand-alone service, ie.., must be an SEO, PPC, or Social Media client.).
In today’s world, every company needs to think about creating and maintaining an online “presence”. Hiring an in-house person may make sense for a large company, but mid-size and small companies would be better served by hiring an outside firm that has the experience and you only pay for actual work done.
We live in an online world. Part of the online environment si feedback, both positive and negative, but mostly negative. BSC has the resources and capability to: i) monito what is being said about the company in the online world; and, ii) to manage that profile so the company is seen in the most positive light.
The first impression people may get about your business is through an Internet search engine, like Google. If that search engine or online siteshows negative information, it will affect your image, especially if the information shows prominently on the first page. This damaging information can lead to a poor reputation, missed opportunities, and certainly lost sales.
ONGOING REPUTATION SERVICES. Our service will alert you to any negative information that gets posted online. The cost is $750 per month.

Fundraiser May 10th at Mickey Finn's!
Check back in closer to the fundraiser date to see the updated list with more details! So please come on out and join us in our journey to help the people of Mailisita. Asante marafiki (thank you friends)!
Another Big Asante to NBC 5 Chicago!
With each media opportunity I find that I become more and more inspired by the the kindness people show me. A very big asante (thank you) is owed to the NBC staff, Kim Vatis, Anthony Ponce and Cheryl Scott. They were all so kind to me and my older brother Chris throughout this experience. I was really grateful to have my big brother Chris with me so I could relax before the show and talk about sports so I wouldn't get too nervous. Also an especially big thank you is owed to Kim Vatis, she was so calming and kind for my first ever interview on TV. It was truly humbling after the segment when Kim, Anthony and Cheryl were interested and asked more questions about these wonderful children and the Mailisita Foundation. It is so inspiring to have such kind people show interest in these children and their stories. I must admit I was quite nervous before going on air, especially after meeting Kim and Cheryl (both so beautiful it is actually intimidating) but they were very kind. Also Anthony Ponce was a genuinely nice guy and for my female friends, yes he is a handsome guy. The whole crew joked with us up until the moment they were on air. Their genuine interest in the children was really touching and inspiring. Not enough can be said about the NBC news anchors and crew. They were all so helpful and I especially appreciated their last minute tips before going on air!
None of this would have been possible without Adam Mesirow and Lisa Trafficanta. Their dedication to helping myself and the Mailisita Foundation is incredible. They have really given us a greater platform to share our story and involve more people in the work being done in Mailisita. They have been a great help to me as I prepare for each of these media opportunities since they are all firsts for me! It is pretty nerve racking to be on the radio and TV for the first time ever, since I am just an elementary school teacher, but they have been very supportive.
Thank you especially to my family, the Mailisita Foundation and St. Joseph Church in Libertyville. They have been my greatest supporters personally and spiritually. My work is only possible because of the incredible generosity and commitment to these children by the Mailisita Foundation and St. Joseph. They have accomplished so much and I am so grateful to just be a small part of the work being done in Mailisita. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at our fundraiser on May 10th!
If you are looking for ways to become involved in the Mailisita Foundation's work or wish to help please come to our fundraiser at Mickey Finn's in downtown Libertyville on May 10th at 6 p.m. There will be pizza, auction items, music, pictures, stories and many great people! We are always looking for more people to share in caring for this community and it's children. So please bring your family and friends, so we can share in helping this community and the special children.
It is funny to me now to think that my getting malaria has been such a blessing but it is true. It was a blessing most importantly because it brought me closer to the Mailisita community and my friends in Tanzania. Over the course of about 6 weeks I lost more than 30 lbs while in a state of exhaustion, suffering from night terrors, lack of appetite, muscle aches, headache and many other symptoms. Despite these things I was urged on and stayed committed to helping because of the love and generosity I was shown. It was THEIR generosity and THEIR love that kept me in Tanzania and teaching. It very simply had nothing to do with me, I was there because this community cares for all of us as much and more than we can ever imagine. The Mailisita community is so grateful for the new hotel that provides jobs and their school that gives their children hope for a brighter future. Whenever I would fall asleep at my desk during porridge time, the teachers (my mamas) would wake me up with fresh fruit and biscuits and literally force me to eat. All the while the children would come with their pockets stuffed full of leaves plucked from a local tree (a local Masai remedy) and hand me leaves to chew on to help my stomach and give me "power". They were terribly bitter, but as I would chew on them and make disgusted faces the children would laugh and hug me urging me on. This was the most incredible showing of love I have witnessed. Children without a family, home, money, toys or anything we typically see as necessities in America have something far more important and that is love.
Now malaria continues to be a blessing because of how odd it is for someone in our community to ever have it. So I guess it makes my story unique. Whatever the reason I am just grateful for more people to hear of these children and find ways to become involved. So in a way malaria continues to be a blessing, never thought I would say that.
Big Asante to Libertyville Patch!
Thank you so much to Libertyville Patch for the incredible article. An especially big thanks is owed to Chi-an Chang. Chi-an made my second ever interview so relaxed and simple. She was very patient with me and gave me great advice too. Also her article was very kind and humbling to read. It has been quite an adventure these past couple years and my only hope is that these media opportunities can work to inspire more generosity and more people to become involved. Chi-an did an incredible job with my story and the explaining how much work the foundation has accomplished. She is clearly a talented writer, and was very kind to me personally. Most importantly she truly understood that this is a story about a community and what their love inspired. They welcomed the first visiting families from St. Joseph 7 years ago and from that point forward our relationship has grown and evolved. They have worked side by side to build this school and hotel in order to provide a better future for these children. Though we have accomplished so much, there is still work to do. So if you get the chance please spread the story and join us at our next fundraiser!
As Chi-an mentioned our next fundraiser is on May 10th at Mickey Finn’s in Libertyville at 6:00 pm. There are more details coming, but you can expect pizza, auction items, music, pictures, stories and more! So please bring your family and friends to show your support for these children, learn more about the foundation and find ways that you may become involved.
Also make sure you check out our next interview on Easter Sunday on NBC News at 6 a.m (or just record it)! Thank you all so much for your continued support.

For music producers with experience creating beats, the next logical step is learning how to sell beats in order to make money and to begin building an industry presence. Many producers will give away their products before they begin to actually sell beats, and while this can be an effective way to build buzz, it’s not sustainable from a business standpoint. In order to justify the amount of time spent on a product which does have value and should be treated as such, it’s important for producers and beatmakers to start looking for the best ways of monetizing their talents.
In order to build your reputation and expand your audience reach, you’ll need to start working to increase your web presence. This means establishing a social media presence, interacting with others within the industry and setting up a website with a memorable URL to serve as a central online hub for your work.
This is where many producers make their first mistake: their professional websites. All too often, talented beatmakers invest far more than they should on a website which requires constant maintenance due to the presence of shopping cart, payment processing and file hosting capabilities, or they skip this step altogether in order to save money. Many are surprised to learn that they can build a fully functioning site without the sales pages for less money, then opt for ecommerce platform integration through cut-and-paste HTML linking.
Ecommerce platforms and services streamline all of the most pressing and most time-consuming aspects of online sales, automating them for ease of use and customer satisfaction. Part of learning how to sell beats is learning how to keep your customers happy, and giving them access to the products they’ve purchased immediately upon transaction completion is vital. You’ll also need to offer payment processing through secure, trusted avenues like PayPal or Google Wallet. Services like PayLoadz.com, for instance, streamline all of these operations while also including valuable promotion and marketing tools to merchants.
The best and most infectious tracks will languish if no one is able to hear them, or aware of their existence. As an independent producer, the responsibility for marketing and promotion will be your own. Upload short samples to social media pages and streaming video sites, and take time to come up with interesting ways of promoting yourself.
With the right tools and services, along with a dedication to marketing your products, you can figure out how to sell beats in a manner which works best for you and your business.

Place milk and PediaSure in a container (one with a lid works best) and shake to mix.
Add rolled oats, chia, apple and cinnamon and stir to combine.
Serve topped with vanilla yoghurt and a sprinkle of almonds if desired.
To save time you could use canned pie apple or apple puree.
Try using different fruits such as grated pear, crushed pineapple, finely chopped peach or nectarine.

A dog house should be a secure, comfortable place for our dogs to sleep, or to simply get a little peace away from the rest of the household. There are lots of brands out there trying to create the very best dog house that meets the needs of both dog and owner. This means a spacious interior with enough room to move, a secure construction, good weatherproofing and easy assembly. It also doesn’t hurt if the house is easy on the eyes.
The following products showcase the range of designs and styles in top outdoor dog houses. There are different materials – from plastic and wood panels to wire cages – as well as different shapes and features. Some are fairly basic, with little more than a raised floor, sloped roof and a door. Others have a few extra features for comfort or style.
The first thing that stands out about this Suncast house is the design. There are sure to be many dog owner that buy this for the look, before considering the other features. This is a cute little resin house that almost has the feel of a playhouse. This comes from the use of the fake slate effect on the roof and detailing where the windows would be. There are also letters in the box to help dog owners personalize the plate above the door. This is the sort of detail that draws dog owners in, rather than practical details.
Still, there are some positive practical elements here. The pieces snap together for easy assembly to save a little time. The plastic resin is a little thinner than some had anticipated, so may not be the most durable option, but is it proven to be weatherproof in stormy conditions. The roof is also ventilated to aid with temperature control in the summer. This isn’t the largest dog house, at 33 inches wide, 38.5 inches deep and 32 inches high, and only has a 100 pound weight capacity. This means it is well-suited to small breeds that want their own space.
This model has a similar approach to the Suncast product above. There is a nice look with the plastic panels with the fake slats and blue roof. It doesn’t have quite as much detailing, and there are no cute letters this time. But, it does promise to be an all-weather design. Most users are happy with the weather proofing on this dog house, especially with the raised floor. Any water that does get into the home should run off easily enough and not bother the pets too much. Unfortunately, there are some assembly issues with warped panels and alignments on the holes. It seems that this is a risk of choosing plastic over other materials.
One of the most important differences here is that this option comes in a lot more sizes. There is a medium, large or extra large available, and most seem to have a tall entryway. This door is 24.6 inches high on the largest model, so there are options for bigger breeds. This extra large house measures 41.3 by 38 by 38.7 cm. Some may argue that this isn’t that big, so make sure to measure your dog before choosing a home.
The next two models take a different approach with the design. These houses are less like the stereotypical design of the dog house and more like an over-sized hutch. This wooden box has a lid on a hinge at the back. This means that owners can have easier access to the inside of the dog house for cleaning. The floor is also removable as required. This set-up may also suit breeders looking after a litter of puppies. Others will find that this dog house works with other animals too. This shape isn’t as pretty, but there is a nice color scheme with the treatment of the wood.
This home has interior measurements of 36.6 x 22.3 x 22, so really is best for small to medium sized animals. The shape, materials and added door flap should protect pets from the worst of the weather. Rain and snow should run off the sloped roof with ease. Yet, the angle isn’t so strong that it affects the interior dimensions too much. The final benefit here is the off center entrance, which is preferable for many pets looking for a little more security in their den.
This second option from Petsfit is a larger model for larger animals. The interior dimensions are 41.3 by 25.8, with a much larger door. There are pros and cons to this approach. The benefit here is that the extra width offers more room to move. This means that this could be a better fit for medium sized breeds. The downside of the larger door is that it takes up most of the right hand side of the front panel. Therefore, there isn’t the same level of security for more anxious dogs. Even so, there are comments from users about pairs of dogs sharing this cosy space with ease.
Otherwise, many of the features are the same. There is the same sloping, weatherproof roof that is hinged on the back. The house is raised off the ground on strong legs. The materials are weatherproofed, with the same door flap to keep the water out. This at least shows a sense of consistency with these Petsfit models.
Wooden dog houses, like those above, are often more popular with dog owners because of the look and strength of the materials. This option from Pet Squeak has a cute look, which is more like those traditional models above. There is a nice sloping roof, a raised floor, a dark trim around the sides and door and subtle branding. The treatment of the wood and embossed logo imply care and attention to detail. Immediate impressions suggest that this is quite a small house. However, there are 4 sizes on offer here, from extra small to large. This means that you can make sure to choose the right dimensions for your pet.
The right wooden home should be easy to assemble and offer protection for a while. The specification of this home suggests that this should be the case. The company is proud of the natural materials and finishes on offer with this house, with talk of a “naturally weather resistant” result. There are also reports that suggest that it is far easier to assemble than other models above.
This wooden dog house has a few of the best features from the models above, a great capacity and a couple of extra features. The stand out feature with this product has to be the balcony/porch area of the home. This little extra piece of decking has enough room for dogs to lie down and just enough shade from the roof over the top. This shelter has the same look and weatherproof materials as the main home, so it really is a practical extension rather than an afterthought.
The house itself is quite roomy, with space for two dogs or one larger breed. It measures 51 x 43 x 43, so is quite a grand statement out in the yard. The house shares the cute roof and wooden slats of other models, as well as that helpful side door for security and easy access. As with some other dog houses here, some users would have liked a sturdy wood panel. Still, there are many that are happy with the look and construction of this model.
This option is something a little different. It may seem small and closed in compared to some of the bigger houses on the market. However, there are medium, large and extra large models available. Also, this enclosed feel is great for dogs that prefer to get cozy in a den, rather than something roomier. Buyers will also appreciate the ease of assembly the two sections simply snap together for a quick result and a secure home.
This igloo is built to offer warmth and protection in the worst weather conditions. There is the weatherproof material on the main structure and the addition of the moats and drains in the elevated floor. The vents on the roof also help with the heat in the summer. One of the added selling points her is the use of microban protection. This is an antimicrobial layer to the home that helps with hygiene standards. This may not look like the prettiest dog house, but it may be one of the most secure.
The final two products to consider here are more like outdoor cage kennels than dog houses. The appeal here depends on your needs as dog owners. Some people will prefer this no fuss approach. The kennels are often easy to set up, there is plenty of space for the dogs to sleep and they offer great visibility. You can’t tell what your dog is up to in the enclosed dog house. Others won’t like the sterile, cage feel and the lack of features. Those that do approve of wire kennels will appreciate the shape, space and protection on this one.
This gazebo is an octagon with varying sizes on offer. The octagon shape has little purpose other than to look more pleasing than a more angular box. The sizes range from 3ft for the mini up to 8ft for the large. This means that smaller breeds can benefit from a kennel too, not just large breeds. It has a cover for the top made from weather resistant polyurethane. This comes in different colors to match the décor of the garden. Other benefits include the tool-less assembly and secure latch.
Then there is the taller, longer rectangle cage of the this Lucky Dog wire kennel. The largest model in the range is 6 foot high and 8 foot long. This means that there is more than enough room for a few larger breeders. But, there is also the added benefit that owners can walk right in to feed and play with pets with no problem at all. Again, this kennel comes with a weatherproof cover for the roof to keep the rain off. This is a pitched roof, so rain and snow should run off with ease.
One aspect of interest with this kennel is the strength of the wire. This cage is made from heavy duty welded steel and constructed from pre-assembled modular panels. This should provide plenty of durability for owners of tougher dogs, and those in professional situations. The wire is tough enough to handle chewers. However, there are user comments that suggest that large dogs might be able to move this with some determination. That is probably why the company recommends ground anchoring the kennel for extra security.
There is clearly a lot to consider here. The first aspect should be the dimensions, so make sure that you know whether you need a small, medium, large or extra large house. From there, consider the construction and use of materials. Are traditional houses more appealing than those hutches with the hinged lids? Is it better to choose a natural wood or a treated resin/plastic, such as the igloo? Would a cage be more practical for the number of animals you have?
The products above are some of the best in each category. Wire kennels won’t appeal to everyone, but these two are strong and reliable. The resin houses may have some durability issues, but are weatherproof and come in different sizes. The wooden homes are nice to look at, but be careful of the shapes and capacities. Compare the options carefully and find a model that suits your dog’s size, taste and needs. They need to have the casting vote here. If they aren’t happy to sleep in the house, try something else.

The second pair of test sessions were again split LMPs ahead of GTs, 90 minutes per session.
12 cars ran in the LMP session, the #4 ARC Bratislava Ginetta again the spare car as the team worked to change gear ratios after a last minute regulation change it seems.
Both the #8 Race Performance Oreca and #25 Algarve Pro Ligier Nissan completed an out/ in lap only, the latter effectively as a shakedown after the team’s earlier Customs woes left them chasing the clock all day today.
There were a trio of LMP3s in trouble during the session, the #99 WinEurasia Ligier JSP3 off into the gravel and bringing out a brief Red Flag with William Lok towed back to Parc Ferme but the car back out after a clean up.
The #48 PS Racing Adess had a lurid half spin at high speed out of the final turn and ended up kissing the tyre barrier on the inside just before the pit wall, the car essentially undamaged apart from a set of rooted Michelins and some no doubt soiled overalls.
And the #26 Tockwith Ligier was left with a broken gearbox post session, a spare is available and the car will be back tomorrow.
The #69 CN class Ligier was still undergoing a rebuild and clean up, the earlier issue was a broken heat exchanger which failed coating everything with copious quantities of oil and water emulsion.
That spoiled the day for the Yorkshire based team that saw them end on top of the LMP3 order, third fastest overall with a 1:32.236, The #99 WinEurasia car second fastest a tenth and a half back, these two spoiling the early session headlines for Ginetta that saw a pair of G57 P3s tope the times for much of the session with the #69 Aylezo Ecotint Racing car and #67 PRT G57 both in the 1:32.6s, the top four split by less than four tenths.
LMP2 saw the #24 Algarve Pro Ligier Judd out for the whole session and it was the two full session P2s that topped the times with the #35 Jackie Chan DC Racing Oreca again fastest, 1:29.350 just a tenth off the best race lap set here by much the same package back in 2011, and the circuit is, we are told, a lot bumpier nowadays.
The Ligier meanwhile finished the session with a 1:30.791.
The GT Session saw 12 of the 14 runners on track, no dramas for the missing pair, the #2 Audi’s drivers know the circuit and the car well and arrive this evening. The #86 OD Racing McLaren 650S GT3 also opted out of the second session.
2.1 seconds separated the best efforts for the other 12 with the top nine separated by less than a single second.
After the first session was dominated at the top of timing by Ferrari session two saw the 488s again running fast. They did not though top the times as the #10 FFF Racing Lamborghini finished the session fastest with a 1:34.165, almost 4 tenths up on the #37 Team BBT Ferrari with Team AAI’s #91 McLaren in close company, third fastest with a last lap effort, AAI’s #90 BMW M6 GT3 fifth fastest behind the #38 Spirit of Race Ferrari.
Tomorrow sees two Free Practice sessions of 90 minutes apiece at 8 am and 12:30 respectively with Qualifying seeing 2 x 15 minute sessions split between the Prototypes and GTs from 17:00 local time.

In less than an hour, I’ll be driving to Worcester, Massachusetts—through "wintry mix," no less—to take the LEED AP, BD+C exam.
I’m probably going to fail, and here’s why.
I did purchase some practice exams (GreenStep’s aren’t ready yet because Alex is apparently a perfectionist too), and they tend to confirm what Spilger told me. You need to have a very deep knowledge of the reference guide, including “behind the intent,” “step by step guidance,” various exceptional examples, etc.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. I know I am! But I also know that, although it will be annoying, there will be no shame in failing the test. My takeaway from Spilger and the practice exams I’ve tried is that the only really fool-proof way to get all this information in your head is to work on at least one v4 project. I’m signing off to try and cram a few more percentages and rating-system-dependent exceptions in, so wish me luck!
POSTSCRIPT: I passed! But Alex is so right. That test was really hard, and I thought I had failed right up till the moment when I saw my score. Watch for my study tips in the near future!
Sharing my BD+C exam tips!
I participated in early discussions on the AP exam update for v4 prior to leaving USGBC, and this sounds very different from what we discussed at that time.
Paula - I'd be interested to hear more about the exam and whether it is a useful tool for determining what an individual has learned about LEED and Green Building. Also, did you take the v4 version of the Green Associate?
Amy, sorry, I didn't see your comment until now. It's certainly a useful tool for getting you really, really familiar with the reference guide! I don't think there's any substitute to hands-on use of the rating system.
Keep up the great work at Building Green too!
I am a LEED AP BD+C and my challenge is to keep up! I instruct in two courses on green building and promote LEED v4 and Building Green in both. I am excited about the new credits in transparency and hope it will nurture increased efforts at transforming the industry - a Herculean task that LEED (I believe) has advanced beyond anyones' wildest expectations.
Paula, thanks for your question! We aren't offering CEUs for this particular course. That's because once you pass the AP exam, your Green Associate credits will get purged and you'll start from scratch, so it's somewhat pointless.
Congratulations Paula, and thank you for all the work to write all this documetns.
Jonathan, sorry I didn't see your comment until now (not sure how that happened). Thanks for your kind words. I know a lot of people here at LU and BG will help all of us stay up to date! It's a new world.
Lyle, sorry I didn't see your comment until now. Glad you found the info helpful!

OK, so here is a dilemma I often hear when it comes to website building. You want a professional website. You've finally decided to step up and present yourself like a pro and you really want a standout site. You know you need it to reach the next level. You've decided to go for it.
You get excited, and you start researching designers. You find the perfect fit. This designer is your absolute dream, but then you find out how much it costs for her to build your site and your heart sinks a bit. That beautiful, professional website is going to cost you between $2500 and up.
Now, if you're reading this article, I'm assuming you're on a limited budget and you also have standards, not just any site will do. Good! Your website is your first impression to many. It should be good.
Also, if you’re starting out and haven’t really tested your businesses idea yet, I don’t recommend throwing all your available cash on design just yet because you really need to learn more about your customers and what they want. Websites should always be built with your customers in mind, if you don’t know them yet, your could be wasting your money.
So what’s the solution? Set up your own site with a website builder. Today there are a lot of options out there for beginners to build professional looking custom websites without hiring a designer or developer. Two platforms I recommend are SquareSpace and WordPress, both have their pros and cons and which one you go with ultimately depends on your business.
WordPress.org websites are built on your own hosting account. There are a few more steps to setup the website, but the flexibility and versatility of WordPress is limitless. You can build any site you want in only a few days. WordPress is extremely popular and well documented, so you can always get help building your WordPress website. Additionally, the cost is relatively low, you only need to pay for hosting which is usually about $5-6 per month.
If you’ve been trying to do your own website or want to learn how to do your own site. I have a guided video course that’s going to show you exactly how to do this. It’s different than your typical WP course because I’m going to give everyone who signs up a 1:1 site review and you have the opportunity to upgrade to a LIVE workshop where I’ll personally walk you through everything. End result. You website will get done and look good at a fraction of the cost it would be to hire out the site completely you’ll be empowered to update it yourself as your business grows.
Want to learn how to build your own website? Learn how with my WordPress Website Building eCourse and Live Workshop. Learn how to plan, build and launch your website without a designer or developer... in less than 1 day.

text: The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of the decision making process among secondary school leaders as they engage in an academic file review in order to make decisions regarding academic placement of a newly enrolled student. During a semi-structured interview, secondary school principals were asked to engage in a document analysis using an authentic student profile and describe how they would determine the most appropriate academic program placement for the student. Authentic insights from the perspectives of secondary school principals defined experiences and factors that influence decision making processes. Through a semi-structured, open-ended interview with secondary school principals and a document analysis of a student comprehensive file, the researcher analyzed the responses and described the experiences of secondary school principals engaged in the academic planning process for a student. Findings and recommendations for practice are included.

Even under construction riders of all ages have been out enjoying the protected bike lane on Potomac Street.
We have good news - the Potomac Street protected bike lane will not be removed! We will not be going to court tomorrow. Instead we have entered into a settlement agreement and will be sitting down this week with the City to assist in finalizing new plans for Potomac Street. We are confident this modified plan will preserve a high quality all ages protected two-way bike facility on Potomac Street, as well as safeguard public safety and accommodate emergency vehicles.
Once the plans have been finalized, they will be shared with the public for a two week comment period. During that time the Potomac Street bike lane will remain intact as is currently constructed. Once the public comment period has ended, the City will take comments into consideration and begin construction. We are pleased to have reached this agreement with the City and are committed to being partners as we work to make Baltimore a safe place to ride a bike.
Your support and advocacy during these past few weeks has been tremendous. Each one of you that donated, called, and wrote letters played a part in bringing us to this resolution. As a thank you, please join us at the courthouse tomorrow 6/28/2017 between 9-9:30 am. We will be hanging out at the Battle Monument serving up donuts and coffee as a thank you! Join us as we continue to #FightForBikes!

The ‘historic’ visit to Cuba is the usual apology tour we have come to expect from this president who is caught here posed in front of the murderous Ché Guevara’s mural. Some have proposed that he was tricked into posing in that location but what do you think?
El Presidente Obama held a joint press conference with the vicious communist dictator Raul Castro Monday and agreed with Raul’s criticisms of the United States.
Obama praised the Cuban healthcare.
Is that why everyone rushes to Cuba for their heart surgeries?
Obama apologized for the United States again.
After listening to Cuba’s President Castro attack America over human rights, its trade embargo with Cuba, an “illegal occupation” of Guantanamo Bay, and “equal rights,” President Obama said “I personally would not disagree” with his criticisms.
“I actually welcome President Castro commenting on some of the areas where he feels we’re falling short”.
“I actually welcome President Castro commenting on some of the areas where he feels we’re falling short because I think we should not be immune or afraid of criticism or discussion as well,” Obama added.
Raul ended the conference abruptly.
Watch another awkward moment by our president.

I’m planning to give my first year undergraduates a worksheet designed to help them engage with the theological and philosophical texts we study during our course. I’ve noticed that a lot of my students struggle to find critical ways into the texts, and I’m hoping that giving them some fairly generic questions to work through will help them find ways in. I’m planning to talk through the list of questions when I hand them out then use them as a basis for some of our seminar discussions over the rest of the semester so that the students can get a handle on how to use them.
Who is the text written by and what do you know about the author(s) and their context?
What role do ideas about gender and/or sexuality play in this text, if any?
What role do ideas about race and/or empire play in this text, if any?
If ‘the ruling ideas of any age are the ideas of its ruling class’ (Marx), what do you know about the ruling class in the time and place this text was written, and how does the text reflect this context?
These are great questions! Are you also asking your students to apply the text or reading to the present times? If so, you can guide the students into thinking about how (or if) what they’re reading applies to themselves personally, to their community (in this case you could use CNU), and on a national or global scale. We often want to jump to how it applies to “me” but we need understand the original context first. I’m interested to hear how this works for your students. Thank you for sharing!
Partly related to richard’s proposal: which concepts does the author use but surprisingly does not work on (e.g. by not including into any explicit binary relation)?
Whose voice is silent/ obscured in this text?
I think these are great questions, and similar to ones I’m also preparing for first year UG philosophy, theology, and ethics students. I do wonder about using a specific theorist in a question though (Marx) when this isn’t followed through in other questions – suggests bias in the question? Would the students be able to identify and comment upon this?
This is really helpful from a student perspective as a starter for my assignment in year 2. Thank you!

It was my husband's grandmother's, and we always believed it to be from Tiffany's. And when she passed away at the age of 102 ten years ago, we inherited this piece. I suspect that they bought it from Tiffany's around the time that it was made. That's my guess.
So we would date this probably around 1910, is that correct?
And you're right, it is Tiffany. And the way we know is that it's signed, and it's signed twice, which is great. Once here, right there. And then it has another signature, also Tiffany, on the back clasp. This is a very special piece. Most people would say, "Oh, it's diamonds, you know, that's what's important." No, it's all about the pearls. This piece was probably designed by one of Tiffany's greatest designers, Paulding Farnham, and he loved natural pearls. Right now, natural pearls are the rage. I'll tell you a little bit about Farnham. Have you ever heard of him?
He was 29 when he won the Paris Gold Medal in 1889 at an exhibition. In 1891, Tiffany's made Farnham his lead designer at Tiffany's. And he was in that position and was there for about 20 years. This pearl at the bottom is almost ten millimeters, which is big. And then it graduates from around six and a half down to three and a half. But each pearl is beautiful: the luster, the match, the skin on it-- we call it the skin. It has no blemishes. I mean, these are beautiful, natural pearls. I see that two pearls fell off.
Well, these pearls are worth a lot, just these two pearls.
(laughing): Just the two. Now are these old, mine cut diamonds?
Yes. In this market, if you came to me and said, "What do you think we could get in an auction?" We'd say $80,000 to $100,000.
Yes, yes. These little pearls, they're probably $5,000. Do not lose these. These have to go back on. I would say you're looking at an appraisal to insure and replace at $200,000.
So I would be very careful with these two loose pearls.
So should I take this to Tiffany's and tell them to restring it?
Restring it, be very careful.
I'll have my daughters wear it in their wedding.
I'm stunned. (laughing) Thank you.
Wow. I was not expecting that.

When you begin trying to get pregnant you hear from many different sources that it is a good idea to begin using a prenatal multivitamin before you become pregnant. There are now studies backing this advice. Multivitamins serve as a type of “back up” plan to our diets. While eating a healthy fertility diet is of the utmost importance, it is always a good idea to include a whole food prenatal multivitamin in your program as well.
That study followed nurses who have hoped to get pregnant for an eight year period. Women who took their multivitamin six times a week were 40% less likely to fail to ovulate than women who took none.
Nutrition plays a big roll in having healthy fertility and experiencing a healthy pregnancy. Nutritional deficiencies have been linked to ovulation issues, hormonal imbalances, poor egg health, low sperm count and so much more. We are literally what we eat. Every cell in our bodies that makes up our organs, crates hormones and enzymes that make us function is created by the food we eat and the nutrients we take in. If this is being compromised due to a poor diet or poor digestion the side effects could affect fertility.
Did you know that there are specific nutrients like folic acid that are needed by the young fetus before you can even detect pregnancy, and a deficiency in this nutrient could cause serious birth defects? Another example is iron, iron deficiency and low levels of iron in the blood has been linked to lack of ovulation.
So nutrition does play a big roll in our health, fertility and in pregnancy. Taking a whole food multivitamin daily can help to fill the gaps where I diets may be falling short.
Do you skip one meal or more a day?
Do you eat at least 2 servings of fruits a day?
Do you eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day?
Do you eat at least one dark leafy green a day?
Vitamin E: Has been shown in studies to improve sperm health and motility in men. Studies have shown a diet deficient in Vitamin E to be a cause of infertility in rats. The meaning of the name for vitamin E ‘Tocopherol’ literally means to bear young. Vitamin E is also an important antioxidant to help protect sperm and egg DNA integrity.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C improves hormone levels and increases fertility in women with luteal phase defect, according to a study published in “Fertility and Sterility”. As for men, vitamin C has been shown to improve sperm quality and protect sperm from DNA damage; helping to reduce the change of miscarriage and chromosomal problems. Vitamin C also appears to keep sperm from clumping together, making them more motile.
Folic Acid: Perhaps one of the best known vitamins necessary for pregnancy is folic acid. This vitamin helps prevent neural tube defects as well as congenital heart defects, cleft lips, limb defects, and urinary tract anomalies in developing fetuses. Deficiency in folic acid may increase the risk of going into preterm delivery, infant low birth weight and fetal growth retardation. Deficiency may also increase the homocysteine level in the blood, which can lead to spontaneous abortion and pregnancy complications, such as placental abruption and pre-eclampsia.
Selenium: An antioxidant that helps to protect the eggs and sperm from free radicals. Free radicals can cause chromosomal damage which is known to be a cause of miscarriages and birth defects. Selenium is also necessary for the creation of sperm. In studies men with low sperm counts have also been found to have low levels of selenium.
If you are going to take the time and spend the money on using a prenatal multivitamin, you should make sure you are getting the best you can. There is a big difference between quality of different multivitamins and the body’s ability to breakdown, assimilate and utilize the nutrients. The best type of prenatal multivitamin is one that is made from whole foods. This will be easier for your body to breakdown and use since it is closer to food than synthesized vitamins.
So forget about those cheap, low-cost bottles of multi vitamins you might find at the wholesale clubs, pharmacies or grocery stores and stick to a whole food prenatal multivitamin for the best results for yourself.
Article culled from Hethir Rodriguez C.H., C.M.T.
We of callmemum.com however advice that you still need a one on one meeting with your doctor to clarify what vitamins are better for you. We pray and believe that God will see you through this journey to motherhood. U r a mum.

These two buildings are unique examples of a time gone by.
During the mid-to-late 1800's the Humane Society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts constructed many lifeboat houses along the Massachusetts coast. This building was constructed around 1896 and was designated as Station No. 23. It was located at Pleasant Beach Cohasset. This building was equipped with a new lifeboat, Hunt Line Throwing Gun, and other rescue equipment.
Shortly after this boathouse was placed in service, the Great Portland Storm of November 1898 struck the New England Coast. Many vessels were driven ashore including the coal barge Lucy Nichols. Volunteers from this station made a heroic, but unsuccessful attempt to reach the crew stranded at Black Rock. The rescuers were thrown into the sea, but managed to swim back to shore. The crew of the Hull Life-saving Station later rescued the Nichols crew.
The last appointed Captain of Station No. 23 was Arthur O. Wood. He was appointed on August 1, 1930. In the mid-1930's the Humane Society closed most boathouses. This boathouse was moved from Cohasset to Scituate's First Cliff around 1938. Young's boatyard used the building for storage of equipment and as a workshop. Very few of these boathouses still exist in Massachusetts. The Town of Scituate recognized the historical significance of this building and voted funds to restore it in 2007.
One hundred years ago there were many Irish Moss storage sheds along the Scituate waterfront. These sheds were used to storage the dried Irish Moss, a type of seaweed, until a buyer came along. Irish Moss was used as an emulsifier in the production of many different products, including chocolate milk, toothpaste, mayonnaise, salad dressing, cosmetics, and various other items.
Heading off the beach in small dories at slack tides, the mossers used 14-foot-long rakes to scrape the moss off the rocks and haul it into their boats. Bringing it ashore, they washed it in salt water, as fresh water would destroy it, and lay out on the beach to dry. When it had gone from slimy and black to brittle and white, the moss was ready for sale.
Describing the beauty of the life of a mosser, one anonymous Scituate gentleman told American Magazine in 1942, "It's a great farm we have out there. We don't have to plow it or plant it, but it gives us four crops a season."
Today the Moss Shed at Maritime and Mossing Museum is the only example left. Before the Scituate Historical Society secured funding from Community Preservation funds this shed was in danger of collapse. This shed is unique since many mossers names are written on the interior walls. The shed is now used to store small boats used by the Scituate Recreation Commission. A link to a video of the shed being moved can be found here.

When you’re trying to decide what to pack its inevitable that you look at all your belongings and wonder what’s worth leaving etc. We chose to take most of our stuff – including our sofa and to be honest, I’m really glad we did. In truth, if we had to replace everything when we got here we would have quickly run out of money. I read recently that white goods are more expensive in Australia than in the UK well I’ve just bought a rather large fridge and a washing machine and that wasn’t really my experience. We went to “The Good Guys” where, if you pay cash, and buy more than one th ing you can barter and save yourself money. Now their definition of “cash” isn’t actually cash… they mean pay now rather than on one of their credit systems. Although, you have to remember that your Eftpos (switch) has a limit on it so, like us, you’ll probably end up paying for most of it by actual cash anyway! It was great though, working with a friendly, smiley employee and watching the money get slashed off the prices! Nice! We also weren’t expecting the fabulous government incentive of a rebate on water efficient goods. So, when we bought our “front loader” (or normal washing machine t you us Expats) we weren’t expecting to get $50 from Bosch and another $200 from SA water for being such responsible washing machine purchasers! (yay!) that means that our machine will have cost us $535 (£308) – That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me and it has a 2 year warranty.
We also bought ourselves a fridge freezer. We wanted one that was 50/50 but they didn’t seem to have any like that so in the end we went for one with “french doors”. That means that it’s wider and on the left side is the freezer and the right the fridge. It has a lovely wine rack inside too (so I can keep my McClaren wines and Matt’s Boags nice and cool 🙂 Lovely!
We also bought an ironing board. That was probably the most entertaining part. Matt announced to the lovely (Irish born) iron expert that he had to do all his own ironing at which point she announced that” If his Mrs wasn’t going to look after him, this Mrs would!” and promptly started demonstrating ironing boards. In the end, on her advice, he selected one which was designed for tall people. It was extra long so that he can fit is long trouser legs on the board and iron them in one stroke – I can’t wait to see him ironing all of his trousers 😉 lol. I actually felt a bit guilty for the years of abuse I’d given him. I mean fancy asking him to iron his own shirts 😉 The women in the shop declared that she “didn’t know what was wrong with young women today” apparently her daughter is also just as bad! lol. I tried to protest that we both worked full time but she had already fallen in love with Matt and was busy helping him to avoid getting a bad back.
We also brought home our “exarmy” 😉 futon today and bought some blue (Matt’s fav colour) sheets to tide us over for a few days whilst we wait for the rest of our stuff! Its all starting to come together now! 🙂 Yay!

This is seen as a major setback to PC leader Imran Ansari led group which had taken over control of the hospital few years back throwing out founder trustees.
Srinagar: A court in Srinagar has ordered founder trustees of Imam Hussain (AS) hospital to take control of the medical facility at Bemina Srinagar, underling that they have every right to manage its affairs.
Sub Judge Forest Magistrate Court vacated its April 4 2018 order against the trustees and directed them to “take control back”, advocate Baber Qadri, who was representing the trustees said.
“There is no doubt that some of the applicants and inhabitants of Bemina donated their land for the establishment of the Trust but neither applicants nor the inhabitants who donated the land can question functioning of the Trust by its trustees,” the court said in an order while disposing of an application against the trustees.
The court also held that no new Trust with regard to the same Trust can be created unless the earlier one gets extinguished according to the section 77 and 78 of the Trust Act 1977. The court’s observation followed submission by counsel for non-applicants that another trust deed with regard to the same Trust has been got executed and registered with the Sub Registrar Budgam.
The court also said that no irreparable loss shall be caused to the applicants and “it is the trustees who shall be divested of their duties in case of a stay order) is made absolute”.
“Therefore what has been succinctly stated herein above, (stay) order passed by this court is vacated,” the court said.
Earlier last year a Srinagar court had issued a stay order on the general council session called by Shia leader .
Trustees in a statement had said that under the pretext of a general council session, the Agha and Imran had invited their own followers to the meeting to pave the way for establishing their personal control over the Imam Hussain hospital.
