Baby Development: The baby continues to put on fat. He now weighs about 760g and measures around 36cm from head to heel, as long as a large zucchini. All my bump pics can be found here.
Total weight gain: Still weighing 64kg. Total weight gain so far is 10.5kg. I don't seem to have put on any weight for a couple of weeks (according to my crappy bathroom scales), which is strange considering that my belly has puffed out so much more.
Movement: He's still very active. It feels weird when he kicks up under my right ribs. So far he hasn't bumped into my left ribs. I love watching my belly bounce as he punches or kicks or moves around. I'm so in love already!
Maternity Clothes: I'm still squeezing into some pre-pregnancy items, but for the most part I have to wear maternity stuff.
Cravings: I haven't been craving anything lately... Unless you could count those moments when I fantasise about getting cookies n cream ice-cream. I have not caved in and bought it yet, just thought about it. My appetite is increasing though!
Aversions: Things that used to bother me earlier in the pregnancy (cherry tomatoes, cheese) don't phase me anymore. I'm happy to eat them.
Frequent urination (still); occasional sore lower back; puffy ankles on hot days; fast growing nails/hair; a bigger appetite (I have to eat every 2-3 hours); weird dreams; still having trouble sleeping; weird sinus type issues that seem to cause my left ear to block frequently; shortness of breath; hot flushes.
Energy: Great! Still exercising every day. I usually go for a 30-40 minute walk at 6am, or if it's raining I do some indoor activities with the fit-ball and some handweights. On weekends I still go to pre-natal yoga (but the relaxation makes me so tired for the rest of the day).
Looking forward to: Going to a high tea high fashion event tomorrow with a friend who is 38 weeks pregnant. She won a prize which gets us our make-up done, and a make-up gift pack as well watching a fashion show. Hopefully she won't go into labour during the event (but at least she'll be looking very glamorous going to hospital)!
Someone actually stood up and allowed me to have their seat on the train last week! I think this means that I'm starting to look like a real pregnant lady.
Buying our first family vehicle.
Enjoying our "baby-moon" trip to Hobart, Tasmania - the last mini-break we'll be going on before the birth.
Reaching "double-figures" in the count-down to the due date. Only 96 days to go!
Today I created my first Vine video (using the Vine App on my phone). I've embedded the video below. I thought I'd track the rest of the pregnancy in this little videos, that are linked to my Twitter account. The best thing about Vine is that the video is only 6 seconds long, and it's easy to cut a bunch of scenes together to tell a story. The below video is all in one sequence because I didn't want to overwhelm my non-technically-minded husband out with the first video!
Most annoying thing: My left ear keeps blocking up, and there seems to be a lot of congestion at the back of my throat when this happens. I'm blaming this on pregnancy sinus problems. It's so annoying listening to myself breathe! And if I talk when my ear is blocked, it sounds like I've got a cold. Then it clears up. Weird.
Thoughts: I've had a few little fears popping into my head lately, especially after seeing that I've reaching double-digits in the count-down to birth. I guess I let my imagination get the better of me occasionally when I think about how this baby will be born. Not knowing if my placenta will rise up means that there's a whole new dimension to what's possible for the birth. I've come to terms with the idea of having a c-section (if my placenta hasn't risen), but the fact that the milk needs to be forced to come after this procedure kind of freaks me out. As we get closer, I'm sure I'll get more information and understand things better so I won't have these weird little fears as much.
You do have a belly, and are such a cute pregnant lady!
So cute! I had the weird ear-popping/blocking thing a few weeks back too - mostly while in the car or in shopping centres. It's gone away since, but never occurred to me that it might be a preggo thing!
When your ears clog up, hold your nose, close your mouth, and blow (like you're blowing out of your ears). It smarts a little, but it should clear it up faster than just waiting!
Thanks, I've tried that and nothing works! I'll chat to the midwife about it next week at my appointment.
Yeah I thought it's a great way to tell a story. Much more dynamic than a static photo.


While on a flight from Denver to Portland, the aircraft ran out of fuel while the crew was distracted with a landing gear problem. Failure of the captain to monitor properly the aircraft's fuel state and to properly respond to the low fuel state as indicated by other crew members. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the other two flight crew members either to fully comprehend the criticality of the fuel state or to successfully communicate their concern to the captain.
The aircraft crashed into ocean during a landing approach. Poor monitoring of altitudes and too early a transition from ILS to visual flight procedures.
Pilot flew into white out conditions and suffered spatial disorientation. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions.
Collided with wires in fog and low ceiling. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions.
Couldn't climb on takeoff due to non-availability of leading edge slats, overran the runway and killed one passenger and 3 maintenance workers on the ground cutting grass. Nonavailability of leading edge devices immediately after rotation during take off.
Forced to return to Steamboat Springs due to severe icing, the plane crashed into a 10,530 ft. mountain. Severe icing and strong downdraughts associated with a mountain wave which combined to exceed the aircraft's capability to maintain flight. Contributing to the accident was the Captain's decision to fly into probable icing conditions that exceeded the conditions authorized by company directives.
Partial No.1 engine failure during takeoff. Crashed.
Crashed in rain, fog and low ceiling. Continued VFR flight into deteriorating weather conditions.
Crashed in the Rubio mountains.

After taking off, one of engines stalled due to a damaged #5 cylinder exhaust. The pilot attempted to return to to Kuopio. He turned but the plane lost control and crashed into Lake Juurusvesi.
Flew into vortex turbulence and crashed while attempting to land. Unable to communicate on terminal radar service frequency.
Crashed in fog and low ceiling. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions. Improper emergency procedures. Landing gear would not retract.
Midair collision. The PSA was descending and about to land at Lindbergh Field. The Cessna was climbing while engaged in practice approaches. The 727 overtook and struck the Cessna from the rear. The primary cause was the PSA crew lost sight of the Cessna and did not make that fact known to the ATC. The ATC failed to realize from the PSA transmissions that they lost sight of the Cessna. One hundred thirty-five killed on the PSA, two on the Cessna and seven on the ground. Crew fatigue may have played a part in the accident as there are unofficial reports that the crew attended an all night party and had only 2 hours sleep from the night before.

The crew tried to make an emergency landing in a large clearing in the bush. The aircraft crash landed, striking an irrigation ditch, cart-wheeled, broke up and caught fire. Soldiers from the Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe Peoples Revolution Army, who were responsible for shooting down the airliner, later killed 10 of the 18 survivors. The remaining survivors were rescued the next day.
While on approach, the aircraft yawed to the left and plunged into the ocean in a left-wing and nose-down attitude and sank. In-flight failure of the left-hand inboard flap control rod that led to a sudden retraction of the complete left-hand flap system and sudden loss of control.
The aircraft made a force landing in the water while en route. Overloaded. Allowed to take off with too much weight. Improper emergency procedures.

Crashed en route. All twelve bodies recovered.
The aircraft, flying VFR, collided with a mountain in deteriorating weather condtions after being blown off course which went unnoticed because of lacking navigational equipment.
While en route the pilot decided to fly at a lower altitiude to avoid weather but crashed into a hill. Flying VFR in IFR conditions.
The helicopter crashed 87 miles northwest of Bergen on a ferry run to an oil drillilng platform.
The aircraft overran the runway and crashed into a revine after an aborted takeoff due to a blown tire. The No. 3 tire failed on takeoff and debris damaged the right gear 'down and locked' switch, causing a gear unsafe indication in the cockpit. Debris was also ingested by the No. 2 engine causing a loss of reverse thrust during the rejected takeoff.
Crashed in heavy fog while attempting to take off.
The flight engineer accidentally shut off the automatic transferring of fuel from the sump tank. Eventually all three engines stopped and the plane crashed. Fuel starvation.
The aircraft crashed while attempting a non-precision instrument approach to Pensacola and landed in 12 feet of water, 3 nm short of the runway. Failure of the crew to monitor altitude and descent rate and the failure of the 1st officer to provide the captain with the required altitude and approach performance call-outs. Also the flight engineer disabled the GPWS alarm so the crew could hear one another better. In addition, the night flight had been diverted from its primary airport due to poor weather and was required to execute a compressed approach (descending and approaching more quickly and steeply than normal), and the crucial altimeter readout was an old drum-roll-counter type (due to be replaced), which could easily be misread, especially in heavy workload situations. Three fatalities occurred when the frightened passengers grabbed their seat cushions and exited the plane from the rear. They drowned in part because their seat cushions were not flotation cushions. The airplane was not required to have floatation cushions because it was not flying over water.
Crashed on farmland six miles outside of Bogota shortly after taking off.
The pilot took a shortcut over the mountainous center of Upolu instead of flying along the coast as per company procedure.
Lost control and crashed after the pilot entered a known area of severe turbulence and thunderstorms.

Midair collision. The Fokker collided with the MiG which was performing touch-and-go landings. Error by the MiG pilot. Sixteen killed on the Fokker and two on the MiG.
Crashed after experiencing engine failure on takeoff climbout.
While approaching V1 speed on takeoff, a loud bang was heard followed by shaking of the aircraft. The crew decided to abort the takeoff. With the end of the runway approaching, the captain steered the aircraft off the runway to the right. The landing gear failed and resulted in a fire. The plane slid for approximately 650 feet and came to rest 40 feet right of the runway centerline. Several passengers not heeding the warnings of the stewardess exited onto the wing and fell into the fire. Failure of two tires on the left main landing gear resulting in failure of a third tire during a critical point in the takeoff. This was to be pilot Gene Hershe's last flight before retiring.
Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions.
The pilot suffered spatial disorientation and crashed in rain and low ceiling while en route. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions.
Crashed into obscured mountain while en route. Continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions. Radar showed aircraft circling over mountain tops for over 12 minutes.
The aircraft touched down just as the crew noticed a snow plow on the runway. A go-around was initiated but the thrust reverses did not stow away properly because hydraulic power was automatically cut off at lift-off. The aircraft missed the plow, overran the runway, crashed and burned. Estimated time of arrival given by Calgary ATC in error. Crew did not report over its final approach beacon.
The aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Richland after climbing to 400 feet and stalling. Crew error. The failure and inability of the flightcrew to prevent rapid pitchup and stall by exerting sufficient push force on the control wheel. The pitchup was caused by the combination of a mistrimmed horizontal stabilizer and a center of gravity near the aircraft's aft limit. The mistrimmed condition resulted from discrepancies in the aircraft's trim system and the flightcrew's preoccupation with making a timely departure. The out-of-trim warning system was inoperative.
The passenger flight attempted to make an emergency landing at Artigas Airport when it had taken off from. An engine failure was followed by a wide banking turn and crash to the ground bursting into flames.
Struck a 7,000 ft. mountain in fog.
Crashed after engine failure on climb to cruise. Fuel starvation. Ice in fuel. Improper emergency procedures.

Family Justice Center nears reality in High Point
Click here to read the original story…
HIGH POINT — As she gives a tour of the space that will become the Family Justice Center in downtown High Point, agency Director Catherine Johnson provides a vivid, hypothetical example of a case that most likely will become a real-life situation of a family in crisis.
A desperate woman with children was assaulted the night before by her husband, whose now in custody of police. She comes to the Family Justice Center because she's not sure where she'll find the help she needs to protect herself and her children.
The Family Justice Center can immediately provide legal aid to the women as she seeks a restraining order or other assistance through the courts. She can consult with a law enforcement officer to follow up on criminal charges against her abuser, as well as make contact with a representative from the Guilford County District Attorney's Office about how prosecution will proceed.
She also can talk with someone at the center who can secure a safe place for the woman and her children to go if they don't want to return home. If the family needs aid with the necessities of daily life, the woman can meet with a social services case worker.
"All of those things can happen for her here. There's no going place to place," Johnson said. "You have professionals offering support in one spot. You can have 10 to 12 agencies that can help all here."
After more than a year of planning, the Family Justice Center should start assisting its first clients in the middle to late part of September, Johnson told The High Point Enterprise.
Work crews are making steady progress converting a 7,000-square-foot space in the Guilford County Courthouse for the center's home. The space will serve as a clearinghouse to help victims of domestic violence and elder abuse.
The location is former county Guilford County Clerk of Court office space that was left vacant several years ago when the staff was moved to the first floor of the courthouse. The entrance to the Family Justice Center will be along Green Drive near the intersection with Centennial Street, and one of the upgrades at the site includes a new small, paved parking area off Green Drive for the center.
"One of the things that was really important with putting the center here was making sure that clients could access it directly from parking," Johnson said.
The Family Justice Center will have a separate entrance and exit than the one on the other side of the courthouse where visitors have to go through a security screening checkpoint.
"It will be distinctly separate from the courthouse," she said.
Clients who enter the Family Justice Center will come into a large lobby and initially meet with a representative to determine why they need help. After the initial consultation, the client would go to one of six private rooms to meet with a center representative to specify what assistance is needed.
Another part of the center will include offices for representatives of the various partners of the Family Justice Center, such as law enforcement, court representatives and nonprofit agencies.
Johnson said that she estimates the High Point Family Justice Center will serve at least 2,000 to 3,000 clients in its first year. The Greensboro Family Justice Center has helped 18,000 clients since it opened three years ago.
The Family Justice Center represents a collaborative effort between the Guilford County Board of Commissioners and High Point City Council.
Last year the council committed up to $500,000 in a one-time appropriation to help with upfit and capital costs for a center location. The commissioners, in turn, voted unanimously to provide the operational budget for the day-to-day work at the center.
Johnson told The Enterprise that the renovations to the courthouse space will take about all the $500,000 that the council provided.
The renovations are the most visible part — but not the only aspect — of the effort to get the community involved in the center's work, Johnson said.
"We've been having monthly partnership meetings and steering committee meetings. The partnership meetings include people who will work in the building, but also community partners who will refer directly to us," she said.
The community partners of the Family Justice Center include law enforcement, nonprofits and government agencies. The center will have 12 partner agencies that will be present at the site, Johnson said.
Volunteers can undergo training to help clients, such as accompanying them to provide support when they seek justice in court or tending to sons and daughters of abuse victims in the center's children's waiting area.
"We want to be a place where anyone can come for help," Johnson said.

Meet John Hardacker. He created a way for making his fellow clinical assistants' jobs more efficient, and it's really made a difference. That's why, naturally, John's one of our Difference Makers.
I am a clinical assistant. I bring patients to their rooms and ask about the reason for their visit. I help with procedures, apply casts, and help with ordering various tests. As a clinical assistant I get to work with our patients to make sure their visit to TCO is an enjoyable experience.
The best part of working at TCO is how the Waconia office feels like a family. Everyone is working as a team and genuinely interested in each other's wellbeing. I enjoy coming to work every day and I have fun while working. I know I am not the only one that feels that way, because I occasionally hear from patients how well our team works together.
I created a pocket guide for clinical assistants. This book is a collection of important phone numbers, computer codes, common procedures, and other information that we need at hand. When I started working at TCO, I noticed that many people had little notes in various places that they used all the time. I decided to collect all of these notes into one small book, and added some tips and tricks that people gave me. The book is small enough to fit in a pocket and we plan on updating it every year to add new and changed information.
When I am not at work I love to spend time with family. We love being in the woods hiking on the north shore of Lake Superior. We have a small cabin up north, so whenever I get the chance I am either hiking or doing projects on the cabin.

Since 1597, Fort Barraux has been one of the oldest and most prestigious defensive places in the Alps.
This architecture, appeared in Italy from the beginning of the 16th century, succeeds to the traditional constructions of castles. This is explained by the evolution of firearms and in particular cannons which are more and more efficient. A bastioned fortification is caratérise by its star shape, bristling with bastions (pentagonal works that replace the cylindrical corner towers of the medieval era) and advanced works.
Fort Barraux will be reviewed and improved over the centuries, especially during a major campaign of work prescribed by Vauban (Famous military engineer Louis XIV) in 1692 and 1700.
Sentinel of Grésivaudan.
The fort has served a particularly dissuasive function. But it also served as a garrison and warehouse for weapons and ammunition. On the other hand, he played a prison role . Military, for the enemy troops (German officers stayed there in 1917 and 18), but also civil, during the Second World War: from July 1940, it becomes a Supervised Stay Center, where there are trapped traffickers black market, political prisoners, foreign men and women of Jewish origin in transfer for concentration camps ... The fort was acquired by the municipality of Barraux in 1988
Fort Barraux is classified as a historical monument since 1990.

It was' on a very cold night in March 1598 that the event occurred .. With great insolence, Charles-Emmanuel Duke of Savoy had undertaken for several months to build a new fort on the border with France, but on the French side Henry IV could not remain indifferent to this new encroachment on the Prince of Piedmont, who had not ceased, in previous years, to multiply the incursions into Dauphine. The king was moved by this casus belli with his lieutenant-general in Dauphine, Francois de Bonne de Lesdiguieres. "Sire," said Lesdiguieres, "the location of this fort is particularly well chosen, but because of the state of the finances of the kingdom, it seems to me preferable that ... it is your cousin of Savoy ... who makes it When it is nearly finished, before it is equipped with a serious garrison, I will take it. " What he did on the night of March 14-15. This is how Fort Barraux became one of the oldest and most prestigious defensive places in the Alps.
THE CASTLE OF TOUVET

Today, it offers an unusual walk along the steep Chartreuse ...
A walk that takes you, in 20 minutes, from the low station of Montfort (in the Grésivaudan Valley) to the high station, located in the heart of the village of St Hilaire du Touvet.
An exit on the natural site of the Funicular is:
• a "historic" ascent and strong sensations: you climb on the steepest slope in Europe
• an educational and fun discovery with the Icare Laboratory
It is also the occasion of a pause:
• sportive: enjoy the pleasure of walking or hiking in the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park or experience more intense emotions in the via ferrata of the Oule waterfall
• contemplative or gastronomic in a beautiful setting.

Departures from these summer hiking routes are about 30 minutes from our bed and breakfast in Isère.
You go to the mountains, your necessary equipment and some tips.
Upright boots adapted to the topology, the terrain and the seasonal climate. Warm and waterproof clothes, the system "three layers" is the best protection: the first layer, socks and underwear, must allow the evacuation of perspiration, dry quickly, keep the body "hot", for that no cotton . The second layer must retain heat by being breathable, polar. And the third, a windproof and waterproof jacket.
Your backpack is as important as your shoes, it must be adapted to your hike: the bigger your bag is, the more you tend to load it. The load should be closer to the body, which is heavy should be stored in the middle of the bag, as close to the back as possible. The muscles of the spine will work ideally. Adjust the straps of the bag to best distribute the load. Do not forget, gourd, knife, food, energy bars to avoid tiredness, sunglasses, detailed map of your route, avoid going alone. Let someone know your route, check the weather before you leave, know that the weather changes very quickly in the mountains. Do not forget to bring down your garbage cans. The mountain, even in summer, can be dangerous. From a mobile in the event of an accident, dial 112
Your ideal first aid kit: first-aid guide, vinyl gloves, survival blanket, adhesive and compression bandages, anti-blister or double-skin dressings, sterile gauze packs, gauze tape, sparadra, safety pins, disinfectant, anti- shots, anti-burns, high protection sunscreen, lip stick, scissors and splinter forceps.
Do not forget to drink because it is essential. 70% of the weight of our body is composed of water, this percentage must remain constant. Every half hour, take a few sips, more often if necessary. Avoid drinking a lot of water during less frequent breaks. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink. If you go on a "normal" hike of several hours, you can drink 1.5 liters of liquid, then in the evening you will make up for the deficit by drinking more.
The sticks: they allow an optimization of the displacement by distributing the muscular work of the body. Your hips and your knees will be relieved of 20% of the weight of your body ... it is necessary to spare the mount ...! This will also prevent falls in case of imbalance.
You have read the warnings and tips above, so you can read more and have a good hike!

Le Crêt du Poulet
> Duration: 4 hours (1 h15 + 1h30 + 1h15)

> Great Rock: 1926m
> Quotation: easy
The start is from the cross-country ski center 1416 m after the Barioz pass. It is a very pleasant and uncrowded walk.
From the foyer, continue along the forest road which extends the road for 400 m and turn left, direction "Chalet Pierre Roubet". After the chalet, at the junction follow the direction "Crêt du Poulet". The ideal is to do this circuit in the other direction because if signs are present at the cottage and refuge, there is nothing on the ridge and it is difficult to identify the right path for the descent. Chicken Cret Refuge is reached in one hour. Climb behind the refuge to see the two orientation tables that offer magnificent views of the Vercors (Isère), Chartreuse (Isere), Bauges (Savoie) and Belledonne.Rescend to the refuge and take the well marked path that follows the ridge in a southerly direction. You can go as far as the Grand Rocher at about 1h30.
For the return, you can avoid following the ridge to make a less rugged route before finding the path, close to a lake, which leads back to the chalet Pierre Roubet.

Tips: - You see a flock, get around it a lot.
- when approaching the patou, keep calm avoid sudden movements and cries, to reassure him, be passive ..
- Do not try to carress, feed, take a picture, it may be interpreted as aggression by the dog.
-If you have a companion dog, it is better to hold it firmly than it will avoid a deterrent "charge" on the part of the patou.

Fans who attended one of Taylor's exclusive secret sessions reported that the Pop Princess' parents were extremely uncomfortable while listening to this track.
So who is the "best friend" that Taylor is wanting to get intimate with? When Reputation was released, many Swifties were initially convinced it was her pal Ed Sheeran that the songstress had been getting down to business with sexually.
Taylor appears to be referencing Ed's hit tune "Shape Of You" and the "golden tattoo" could be one of his many inkings. However another lyric likely lets the English singer off the hook.
Speaking to Time Out Singapore, Ed said of the song, "I don't think it is [about me]. If you read into it... it's not. She mentions someone with a buzz cut haircut and I've never had a buzz cut."
Nine of the album's fifteen tracks have references to the general topic of alcohol, and Taylor's spilling of wine in the bath here is a strongly sensual image.
The song was produced and co-written by Jack Antonoff, the same guy who worked with Lorde on Melodrama. Antonoff collaborated with Swift on six of Reputation's 15 tracks.


Each year the Parish holds a 5.30pm Christmas Eve Family Service. This service has grown over the years to become the largest of five Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services held in the parish.
As part of the service each year the Chapel at St James' is decorated according to the service theme and this year the inspiration for this and the theme of "light" came from the book "The Nativity" by Julie Vivas. Brightly lit angels and a nativity scene were on show at the end of the service for those who attended to enjoy and to illustrate the Christmas Story, and the chapel remains decorated until a week after Christmas. Parishioners will be pleased to learn that the angels have now found a home in the body of the church until the end of January.
Each year it is a team effort and we would like to recognise the efforts of those who assisted this year in the creation of the angels and set up (and breakdown) of the Chapel: Bron Robertson (artist extraordinaire), Paulene Gibbons, Helen Willberg, Paula Baynes, Londyn Williams, Sheldon Williams, Chunge You, and Murray Wills.
The service was led Rev Murray Wills with the assistance of Rev Chris Low as narrator.
We welcomed our new staff and volunteers to the parish.
Thanks to Chris Parkin, Dan Reeves and Murray Wills for the photos.

Garrioch History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Garrioch family
The surname Garrioch was first found in Aberdeenshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain), a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they held a family seat in their territories. The Pictish influence on Scottish history diminished after Kenneth Macalpine became King of all Scotland. But those east coast families still played an important role in government and were more accessible to Government than their western highland counterparts. The family name became associated as a sept of the Clan Gordon. Allegiances were important to Scottish middle age survival. Later in 1264 Andrew Garuiach was Sheriff of Aberdeen. Adam Garioch rendered homage to King Edward 1st in his brief conquest of Scotland in 1296 as well as Andrew and Sir John.

I started loving music from infancy. I had a fascination with the piano as my mom played it and I wanted desperately to follow in her footsteps. At age 3 I threw a penny in the fountain at Casa Bonita and wished for a piano. It came later that week and I was hooked. I took lessons from my mom as well as a few other teachers over the years. I advanced just enough by my senior year of high school (1994) that I thought I would begin teaching others to play as well. I went on to study music education at Mesa State College for 2 years and then moved to the Eastern slope before finishing. I have continued to teach over the years and truly love sharing the joy that music can bring!

She teaches beginning through advanced mandolin and ukulele; as well as beginning to intermediate guitar. She teaches from a multi-genre approach, provides her own lesson book, and guides the student towards their own tailored goals.


Comcaster Kirsten Bowman enjoyed volunteering at the event.
Hundreds of people picked up school supplies at the event.
The numbers are astounding and speak to the high need in the Inland Northwest communities.
The line to enter the back-to-school event stretched three blocks at its peak. Volunteers distributed nearly 1,000 backpacks in the first hour. At the end of the day, more than 5,000 backpacks (full of grade-appropriate school supplies) and 15,000 individuals walked through the Salvation Army of Spokane facilities on Aug. 20.
It was a first time Comcast partnered with the Salvation Army of Spokane on the event known this year as the Backpack for Kids Resource Fair Powered by Comcast. A contingent of Comcasters hailing from Spokane volunteered at the event and included Kirsten Bowman, Leo Sutliff, Ciara Kosse, and Ken Watts. Terry Davis and Diem Ly from the External Affairs team also attended.
There may be a high need in the Spokane area, but like these Comcasters, there are community stakeholders who are involved and invested.
Comcast is also partnering with Seattle Goodwill during this back to school season to distribute nearly 1,300 backpacks full of school supplies to low-income students at seven sites across the greater Puget Sound. With Seattle Goodwill, Comcast is reaching the following communities: Bellevue, Bellingham, Bremerton, Burien, Marysville, Mt. Vernon, Seattle, Shoreline, Silverdale, and South Everett.
Note: the backpack giveaway has been supported for years by Cenex Zip Trip, who suffered a loss in their business family just before the event. Click here for a story in the Spokesman-Review about Ian Johnstone.

This entry was contributed by Cheryl Howell on September 22, 2017 at 9:00 am and is filed under Family Law.
In my last post, I wrote about the marital property presumption and the significance of that presumption in the classification of marital property. Divisible property is not marital property, so the marital property presumption does not apply to help with the classification of property, value or debt acquired after the date of separation. So when there is evidence that marital property has increased in value between separation and the ED trial, does one party have to prove the cause of the increase before the court can distribute the increased value? Or, when one party has received income from a marital asset, like a rental house or an LLC, does one party have to prove that the income was not received as the result of the actions of a party before the court can divide the income between the parties?
This entry was tagged with the following terms: equitable distribution; classification; divisible property; burdens of proof.


48. The next three chapters will speak in more detail about marriage (Chapters 4 and 5) and celibacy (Chapter 6). But both ways of living are grounded in God's summons to live masculinity and femininity in generous, self-giving ways. Both ways of living look to God's covenant and receive the fact of being created as male and female as occasions for joy. The discipline we impose on our love — the discipline of the covenant — is sometimes felt as a burden. But precisely this discipline honors and reveals the true meaning of love created in the image of God.

Q: How long does it take before a web page is saved in Google Cache? I've heard a lot of people asking how long information stays in Google Cache. To me, this is irrelevant (at least until someone libels my name).

A: It depends. Google visits frequent-changing pages more often than static sites. And if google doesn't know your site exists, how can it then visit (and cache) your site?
If you're site are hosted on a new and unknown webadress, you should tell google to visit you. Or you can drop a lot of links to you site all over the web.
If you have created a new article on your current cached site, google will find out in a day or two. Or maybe a lot quicker. (But you do need  link pointing towards that new article.) As I said: it all depends ;)
Tip: You probably have access to a site-log, which will tell you how often googlebot browses your site!

A: There is probably not a good answer, or at least there is probably not a good answer that you will get outside of Googleplex.
For Google to crawl and cache your page, usually someone has to link to you, or you have to request they crawl your site.
You can influence how frequently it visits your site by setting up a sitemap, but as far as I know Google doesn't make any guarantees anywhere that it will crawl your site on any particular schedule.

A: Google cache exists until google removes it due to 404 errors, 302 location redirects, or specific expire meta headers (noindex, nosnippet, noarchive) on the next crawling. It is also possible to remove links from google manually.
Caching: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35306&ctx=sibling
Removing: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35301

A: Well, a page is saved in Google cache for ever :-)
And I think it is saved in Google cache when it has been crawled.

A: The best you can probably do on your side of things is to set appropriate cache control HTTP headers and hope Google pays attention to them.

Alberto Korda właściwie Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez (ur. 14 września 1928 w Hawanie, zm. 25 maja 2001 w Paryżu) – kubański fotograf, autor najsłynniejszego zdjęcia Ernesto "Che" Guevary, które stało się jedną z ikon popkultury.

Biografia
Alberto Korda urodził się w Hawanie jako syn kolejarza. Imał się wielu zawodów, zanim został pomocnikiem fotografa.
Jego pierwsza żona Natalia Menéndez (Niurka) została pierwszą kubańską modelką.

Po rewolucji kubańskiej został na 10 lat osobistym fotografem Fidela Castro. Od 1968 do 1978 skoncentrował się na fotografii podwodnej – aż do wystawy w Japonii w 1978, która rozbudziła zainteresowanie jego pracami za granicą. Gdy zrobił swoje, jak się okazało najsłynniejsze zdjęcie Che, 5 marca 1960 roku, był fotografem kubańskiej gazety "Revolución" (w 1965 r. połączono ją z "Hoy" tworząc "Granma"). Nie otrzymał tantiem za tę fotografię, nazwaną z czasem Guerrillero Heroico. Komentując jej nieautoryzowane wykorzystanie stwierdził:

W 2000 r. wystąpił na drogę sądową przeciwko producentom wódki "Smirnoff" za użycie jego słynnego zdjęcia w reklamie. Pozasądowa ugoda przyniosła mu 50 000 dolarów amerykańskich, które przekazał na kubański system ochrony zdrowia.

Pojawił się w epizodzie przedtytułowym w filmie Wima Wendersa Buena Vista Social Club, choć nie został wymieniony na liście aktorów. W 2005 powstał o nim pełnometrażowy film dokumentalny Kordavision: The Man Who Shot Che Guevara (polski tytuł: Świat w obiektywie Kordy) w reżyserii Hectora Cruza Sandovala.

Zmarł w Paryżu w 2001 na atak serca w trakcie wystawy swoich prac. Został pochowany na  w Hawanie.

Sunroofs on dozens of newer car models from around the world are shattering spontaneously, leaving owners perplexed and seeking answers. But while even experts don't know entirely why this is happening, we do know which cars are yielding the most complaints to regulatory agencies.
Canadian news site Global News writes about a couple driving to a doctor's appointment with their three-month old child, when the sunroof in their 2016 Volkswagen Jetta shattered, showering bits of glass onto their baby, and causing the driver to swerve the car.
This wasn't the only complaint of a sunroof shattering seemingly instantaneously. The news site says that, according to data from Transport Canada, complaints about exploding sunroofs have gone from zero in 2007 to "over 110" in 2016, and those complaints already total 103 so far in 2017.
Earlier this month, Consumer Reports wrote a lengthy article describing this "exploding sunroof" issue in the United States, citing a mother named Heather Savage, whose 2016 Nissan Pathfinder had its sunroof explode with two of her children in the car. Luckily, her shade was rolled forward, and the glass didn't enter the vehicle.
Consumer Reports, which writes that these sunroof explosions "have happened in every month of the year in every part of the country, in vehicles from all over the world" and on every type of road, found that the most common vehicles included in the 859 complaints to NHTSA were the Scion tC, Hyundai Veloster, Kia Sorento, Nissan Murano and Kia Optima.
While owners of Kia Sorentos have filed at least 43 reports of shattered sunroofs with U.S. regulators, Kia has told NHTSA it has at least 156 Sorento sunroof cases in its own records. Kia Optima owners have filed at least 25 reports with regulators, but the company told NHTSA it is aware of 173 shattered Optima sunroofs.
Ford reported 88 sunroof explosions for its Edge crossover vehicle—11 times the number of complaints that have been reported to NHTSA.
Why Is It Happening? And Why Now?
One theory for why sunroofs are shattering has to do with manufacturing defects. Global News cites the head of research for a large glass repair company, saying contaminants in glass (which is often tempered for strength, but shatters instead of just cracking) can cause high internal stresses, especially in high temperature conditions, which can increase the chance of breakage.
What generally causes the glass to shatter is accidental damage, said Davies. A rock or even something as small as a pebble hitting the glass can cause it to shatter, especially if the glass has already been subjected to significant stress.
Sunroofs are getting big and geometrically complex, meaning accidental damage is more likely than ever.
So basically, modern car sunroofs, which have become quite prevalent and also rather large and ornate, are prone to damage from a variety of sources, especially external impacts. This is not a particularly surprising revelation.
Still, that doesn't mean something shouldn't be done about the failures. In March of 2016, the 2011 to 2013 Kia Sorento was recalled in Canada after it became clear that the sunroof was susceptible to shattering, especially on gravel roads.
Aside from its current investigation into the Sorento, the agency has conducted four previous sunroof-defect investigations since 2004. Two resulted in automaker recalls while the models were under NHTSA investigation—for the 2012 Hyundai Veloster and the 2004 Nissan Maxima. Two others closed with no defect identified—the 2004 - 2006 Cadillac SRX and the 2005 - 2006 Scion tC. Those two models are among the top 10 in consumer complaints.

Celebrity Real Estate Investors and What We Can Learn From Them
celebrity real estate
What to do with all that money? It must be a tough challenge to face, watching the millions of dollars roll in and being left to decide where to put it. Don't you wish you had that problem?
Yes, we are envious but also intrigued how celebrities invest their never-ending cash flow. While some celebs like Robert DeNiro and Justin Timberlake invest in restaurants, other stars such as Jay-Z and Ellen DeGeneres are drawn to tech companies. Real estate is also an investment choice for many of Hollywood's rich and famous. Take a look at these celebrity real estate investors:
ELLEN DEGENERES:
Ellen loves to diversify her investments. In addition to her interest in funding tech start-ups, she also does quite well in the real estate world. According to the Los Angeles Times, Ellen has made a profit on the same home not once but twice! She sold her Hollywood home for $10 million in 2007, then decided to buy it back in 2014 for a lower price tag of $8.75 million. She then sold it a second time for $9.9 million.
KEVIN JAMES:
King of Queens star Kevin James sold his oceanfront mansion in Florida for a whopping $7.53 million profit. He purchased the home in 2012 for $18.85 million and sold it in 2016 for $26.38 million! This 3-acre home has eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, seven fireplaces and a 10-car garage.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO:
This A-list actor owns numerous properties across the United States including apartments in Manhattan, a Palm Springs vacation home and a mansion in The Hamptons. According to Mansion Global, you can rent his Palm Springs estate home with six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms for just $3,750 per night (subject to a two night minimum of course).

PATRICK DEMPSEY:
Formerly known as McDreamy on the hit show, Grey's Anatomy, Dempsey sold his Malibu home for an $8 million profit – almost double the purchase price. Who knew that McDreamy could make a McFortune on his real estate deals?

After some extensive renovations to her Beverly Hills mansion, Aniston sold her home in 2011 for a whopping $35 million. She purchased it in 2006 for $13.5 million.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While these celebrities can toss around a few million dollars here and there without much worry for appreciation, we can still learn from their investment tactics:
1. Location, Location, Location: Celebrities aren't purchasing homes in random parts of the USA, they are buying in the areas everyone wants to live. Safe neighbourhoods close to restaurants, shopping, transit and easily walkable. You will never go wrong purchasing a home in a neighbourhood that is in high demand. Sure, you will pay a premium but that home will keep appreciating. In Toronto, neighbourhoods such as Bloor West Village, Roncesvalles, High Park, Leslieville, Davisville – these are neighbourhoods that will always be a great investment. Keep in mind that you can always change the look of a home but never its location.
2. Don't Take Improvements Too Far: Let's take a page out of 50 cent's book. He purchased a 21-bedroom, 25-bathroom mammoth party pad in Farmington CT for $4.1 million in 2003. He pimped the place out to the tune of $6 million to $10 million in additional expense. Since 2007, he has tried to sell the home, starting at a list price of $18.5 million. In 2016, facing bankruptcy, 50 cent was forced to reduce the listing price to $5,995,000. The most interest he's received, according to Realtor.com, is from a developer looking to covert the home into an assisted-living facility, minus the stripper poles of course!
50 Cent's "Over-Improved House"
3. When In Doubt, Rent: Huh? A real estate broker advising someone to rent? Sometimes it makes more sense! New to the city? Not sure where your job is going to take you? Going through a divorce? Not sure about your current relationship? Consider renting until you are more comfortable with your life's journey. In 2011 according to Trulia.com, Katy Perry bought a home with then husband Russell Brand for $6.5 million. The couple split up before moving in and Perry ended up selling the home at a loss ($5.65 million). Don't worry – you are in good company. Many celebrities such as Rihanna, the Biebs (aka Justin Bieber), Lady Gaga and basketball star Ray Allen prefer to rent as well.
4. We All Start Somewhere: before becoming the Terminator and the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger used his body sculpting money to invest in real estate. He started small and eventually built up his wealth in order to focus on his acting passion. His first purchase was a six-unit apartment building in New York for $38,000 in 1971. Over time, he was able to invest in much larger purchases such as a $450,000 Santa Monica building, which he later sold for $2.3 million.
Investing in real estate can be an exciting process and you don't have to be a celebrity to do it! Start small, equip yourself with the knowledge you need to be successful, surround yourself with professionals willing to help, take some risk, work hard and be confident with your decisions.

Immigration debates dominated the 2016 election and two years later, the issue is equally as pertinent in Americans' minds. For many individuals who voted for President Trump on the promise of building a wall to secure our southern border, there has been frustration surrounding a lack of action; but some action has been taken and this issue specifically demonstrates Republicans will have to maintain control of the House and Senate in the 2018 midterm elections if they want to finish the job.
When President Trump signed a March 2018 spending bill into law, Congress allocated $1.6 billion for border wall construction and $400 million for repairing and replacing existing border fences. At the time, Trump referred to this as a down payment to begin wall construction, with more coming in the months ahead.
Last week, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristjen Nielsen unveiled a newly built 30-foot border wall along the border of California and Mexico. During her visit to the wall she reinforced her support for the president's policy, Let me be clear: Walls work. That's not my opinion, it's not a tagline, it's not a political statement — it's a fact. We have seen the success of walls in El Paso, in Yuma, in San Diego, and in the past right here in the El Centro sector.
But she continued to note that the President cannot do this alone and more action is needed by Congress, It wasn't just this physical barrier that led to decreased apprehensions, it was a combination of infrastructure, improved technology, and additional manpower. Together these attributes compromise a successful border wall system, this is the wall system we are requesting Congress to fund.
Hill contributor Jen Kerns explains, Humans aren't the only entity streaming across the border — drugs are, too — at the hands of the Mexican drug cartels and others. In fact, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol data for fiscal 2018 show that seizure of illegal drugs along the border have consistently increased in the past five years. This election season, as U.S. politicians wrangle with whether or not they want to support full funding for a border wall and increase number of border agents, they might also want to consider these other intruders coming uninvited over the border.
Arizona Representative Martha McSally has already made this a top issue in her election bid for U.S. Senate. At a rally with Trump in October, she explained, President Trump, it has been an honor to be leading in the House to make sure we build the wall… This is personal for us in Arizona. We have to crack down on sanctuary cities, MS-13 gangs, build the wall, and secure the border.
This is why it is imperative that the State Of Ohio Republican Central Committee get off their "duffs" and endorse Jim Jordan as our next Speaker Of The House folks. We hear daily on TV and the Radio of adds touting the endorsement of the Kevin McCarthy Bill to build the Wall. This is designed a s a veiled endorsement of McCarthy for the next Speaker, even though McCarthy is rated at middle 70's% by the American Conservative Union. We need a "true" conservative for a change as Speaker. After the fiasco's we've seen from Boehner and Ryan as "conservative republican speaker's", we need a REAL conservative this time. WHAT is our State Central Committee waiting for? They made the very lame excuse to Tom Zawistowski from We The People Convention that Jordan hasn't asked for their support, and that they have never endorsed anybody for speaker before. Is this the way our Central Committee should be treating a fellow Republican? I think not, and I also think this is unacceptable. Get in touch with your members of the house, and you committee member and demand that endorsement. We need a real conservative and a fighter for a change. That, my friends is Jim Jordan.

Amazon Isn't Sure You Know It Has a Lot of Video to Watch
So it's sending out this helpful letter.
By Peter Kafka May 8, 2014, 1:29pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Amazon Isn't Sure You Know It Has a Lot of Video to Watch
Amazon is spending lots of money to build up its Prime Instant Video offering — the Netflix-like streaming video service it gives away free to its Prime customers. It just agreed to drop more than $300 million on HBO shows, for instance.
But it's not clear that its customers know about the service. Data from outside observers and anecdotal reports from people who sell programming to Amazon suggest that its usage lags very far behind Netflix.
And until recently, it was often hard to find much evidence that Prime Instant exists when you visited Amazon.com.
Here's another indicator that Amazon thinks it would be good to get a few more eyeballs on its videos: A letter — an actual letter, printed on paper and delivered via the mail — that my colleague Jason Del Rey found in his mailbox today, sent by Amazon video head Bill Carr.
The letter gets right to the point: "As you may already know, you have access to unlimited instant video streaming as part of your Prime membership. I wanted to take a minute to remind you of just how much great viewing is available to you as we continue to add new TV shows and movies to the service."
Carr goes on to explain how you can go about watching that video, including instructions on how to download the company's video app, etc.
He also tells you which devices you might be able to use to watch the stuff, including Amazon's new Fire TV set-top box.
One interesting omission: Apple's Apple TV box, which doesn't have an Amazon video app, but which does allow you to watch Amazon video in conjunction with an iOS device, using its AirPlay streaming feature.

Marion Creek Benchlands
Wetlands in the Marion Creek Benchlands, British Columbia (Photo by Tim Ennis/NCC)
Wedged between the Rocky Mountains and the Purcell Range in southeastern British Columbia, the Rocky Mountain Trench is a flat-bottomed valley carved into existence by the Columbia River. Here wildlife roams between mountain ranges, birds rest midway on their seasonal migrations and rare plant communities persist.
The Upper Columbia River Valley lies in the north end of the Trench and maintains an ecological richness that is quickly being eroded in surrounding areas. This is the only stretch of the Columbia River that has been left unaltered by dams. It is part of the longest uninterrupted wetland in western North America.
Unlike many other areas in the world, this region still supports a full suite of native carnivores, such as bear and cougar, and ungulates, such as elk and deer.
For these reasons and more the area has been a hot spot of conservation activities over the years, and continues to be a conservation priority.
Completing the conservation puzzle
Walking on Marion Creek Benchlands, BC (Photo by NCC)
On the western benchlands of Columbia Lake, a patchwork of conservation properties forms a mosaic of protected areas. Sitting in the middle of this wild space is Marion Creek Benchlands. This 204-hectare (504-acre) parcel bridges two conservation properties, which themselves are adjacent to additional protected areas. The total protected area along the western side of the lake is more than 3,000 hectares (7,400 acres).
With the Upper Columbia Valley under steady and intense development pressure, the acquisition of Marion Creek Benchlands effectively and immediately secured the benchlands on the western side of Columbia Lake from the ever-present threat of residential subdivision and development.
Conservation values

Marion Creek Benchlands is emblematic Rocky Mountain Trench landscape — the property ranges from native grasslands and open Douglas-fir forests to a wetland complex of marsh and streamside habitat. Wild land corridors are vitally important in the Rocky Mountain Trench to support the movement of wide-ranging animals.
Many wildlife species flourish in this area, including elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, cougar, black bear and grizzly bear. Several endangered species have been documented on the lands, including badger, prairie falcon and dry-land sedge.
Marion Creek Benchlands and the surrounding properties all support part of the Marion Creek wetland complex. The wetland areas on the property include pockets of cattail marsh, which is a provincially threatened plant community. The wetlands provide important habitat for migratory birds, reptiles and amphibians.
