When my wife came here from the Philippines. Onetime we were at the grocery store and she asked if they had pig ears. I told her the only pig ears they have are dried out for dogs to chew on. Luckily we found a butcher shop that we could get what she wanted.
In Germany it gets more and more difficult too to get pig ears or a whole pig head or something else. Because more and more people think like Lyn. They don`t want to eat meat that looks like the animal it came from.
Hi Linda! I did a couple loads of washing yesterday. Today it's back to the Weedeater.

One time we bought a pig head that was so big. I bought a new blade for my saws all and cut it in half. We had froze the head so it was easier to cut. We have a Latin store here in Florida that sells all that crazy stuff.

My husband's mother (German) married my husband's father, who was from the Philippines. Her sister also married a filipino. The only thing she cooked from the Philippines was adobo. I wasn't too fond of it.

Greetings all. Truck is unpacked, kayak off, drying things out.
Oh Wow. I would love to get rain like that.
Good evening all. We are off to bed shortly. We had a an excellent day out with my uncle even if we did have to dodge sleet and hail showers. In between the sun shone, but it was bitterly cold. Tomorrow we are off to see my in-laws. I am hoping for best behaviour from them as we will have both children with us... however, nothing is guaranteed with them especially their behaviour.

Must have been really cold down that way today. We have frost forecast for the morning here.
My leg with the metal plate has really been aching today and I wondered if it was because of the cold - either that or I've overdone using it!
Have a nice day with the outlaws, I'm sure if they do start to perform Joe's sis and bro will find it quite entertaining....oldies behaving badly is pretty funny.
I am going to remember that for when I am old.
I decided to carry on sorting out papers instead of clothes today and now I have a mountain of paper and cardboard ready to go to the recycling centre next week but I will have to wait for my nephew to help me as it's pretty heavy.
I have a bedroom full of books and resources I have made or collected for every possible subject in school - many of which I haven't looked at for years so they are all for the chop, it's quite therapeutic and the room is looking bigger already.
I think Lola has sensed the drop in temps outside again and hasn't been up and about for long today.
I hope you are all having a good Saturday.
Well done for all that hard work.
Whahaha. I think that applies to everyone here in the CDR.
More than 280 years ago, what is now the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge was part of a much larger, waterlogged natural area known in land records as the Great Dismal.
While today's protected refuge stretches over more than 110,000 acres in parts of Suffolk, Chesapeake and northeastern North Carolina, the Great Dismal was more than 1 million acres and included land areas as far east as Back Bay in present-day Virginia Beach, according to Deloras Freeman, the refuge's visitor services specialist.
Called "great," possibly because of its size, it was called "dismal" because that was a common term at the time for a swamp or morass.
Author Hubert Davis took the root meaning a bit further in his 1962 book, "The Great Dismal Swamp," noting that "the French translate this into marais maudit meaning cursed swamp. Dismal also meant evil association with Satan."

It's made me wonder why on earth I've kept all the stuff I have for so long!!
I have so many books that need to go too - I could start my own library.
I'll finish going through the files and papers first though.
Good idea. Hopefully the books can be donated to a shelter or library or somewhere else.

Down-Under Dispatches
One of Tasmania's most famous conservation areas, the Bay of Fires stretches as far north as Eddystone Point, but the southern portion of the park in Binalong Bay hosts the most scenic views. In particular, head to the Gardens for especially beautiful scenery.
The area got its name from the Aboriginal fires Captain Tobias Furneaux spotted on the shore as he sailed past in 1773. If you look around, you'll find middens (ancient trash heaps of bones and shells), hinting at the existence of these early inhabitants. But since then, the "fires" has come to refer to the bright orange lichen growing on the rocks lining the bay. The combination of these vibrant rocks, white sand, and clear blue waters make the bay's beaches an unmissable Tasmanian destination.
Besides exploring the beaches and soaking in the views, the Bay of Fires area offers opportunities for activities like swimming, snorkelling, and surfing.

The Big Guy has had knee surgery, while I am not sure what that is, I do know it means Little Man and I have not been walked Together all week. Normally, I am not 100% sure I like Little Man, but I do love him because he is family.
Auntie took the picture of MomMom and The Big Guy walking us together last week, and I miss doing this. When Little Man comes I get to spend extra time sniffing stuff, because he is a slow walker. Auntie says it is because he has tiny legs, but I see those legs move he can reach warp speed with them.
The Big Guy left us for a few days, they said he was in a hospital, and when he cam back he is really struggling to walk. It sounds like it will be a long time before Little Man and I are walked together again. One person stays home with him and the other takes us each out one at a time. While the Big Guy manages to have us both out, the girls find it a big harder to do.
I ma hoping for a speedy recovery so we can get back to our normal routine.

December 18, 2018 BY Jennifer Daimon, Esq.
As the weather gets colder, 2018 is drawing to a close and 2019 is days away. The compliance world was busy this past year. AccuSource discussed 2018's biggest compliance topics in its annual webinar, but here is a summary of those items in case you missed it.
Senate Bill 2155 was passed, bringing a new consumer disclosure requirement for consumer reporting agencies (CRAs) and employers who provide the Summary of Rights under the FCRA. This new disclosure advises consumers of their right to obtain a security freeze on their accounts. While a CRA or employer may not be directly maintaining credit information, this requirement does still apply to them. When providing the FCRA Summary of Rights, CRAs and employers must also include the new consumer disclosure related to credit freezes. This requirement is fairly simple to meet because the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau amended the Summary of Rights to now include the new consumer disclosure. As long as CRAs and employers use the most recent copy of the Summary of Rights, they will be in compliance.
Fair chance legislation, also known as "ban the box," is always a hot topic in background screening. These laws prohibit employers from asking about criminal convictions before a certain point in the hiring process, generally before a conditional job offer is made or before an interview is conducted. The box is banned because employers cannot include check boxes or fields asking about criminal histories on employment applications. Three-fourths of the United States population lives in a jurisdiction that has fair chance legislation in some capacity, making this a tricky topic for employers. The newest jurisdictions to enact these laws are California with its statewide ban, Kansas and Michigan for state employment, Washington for public and private employers, and other cities, municipalities and counties throughout the country. Those employers with locations in more than one jurisdiction may want to consider proactively removing criminal history questions from all applications to make the hiring process more uniform.
Employers should also pay close attention to salary history bans, which are gaining momentum. The goal of these bans is to address pay disparity due to gender. In these jurisdictions, employers generally may not ask about past salary history, but sometimes may be able to verify prior salary at a certain point in the hiring process. California enacted a statewide salary history ban during the past year, including separate legislation in San Francisco. The following states also enacted statewide bans: Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Some cities voted for bans that only apply to a limited set of employers, such as government-run departments.
In 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed Spokeo v. Robins which provided some guidance on whether a person has standing to bring a lawsuit in federal court without proving actual harm. In 2018, courts applied Spokeo, providing some clarification on "actual harm." In Boergert v. Kelly Services, the Missouri court dismissed the class action, finding that Boergert did not establish an actual injury because his claim was based solely on a bare procedural violation of the FCRA. Boergert argued that Kelly Services' disclosure included extraneous information and that they had failed to give him a copy of his screening report or Summary of Rights. A Nevada court found similarly in Williams v. TLC Casino Enterprises. Williams argued the disclosure contained extraneous information, but the court stated that this bare procedural violation was insufficient to meet the standing requirement. While courts are generally supporting employers, it is still recommended to review and update forms and disclosures to avoid the FCRA procedural lawsuits altogether.
CRAs and employers also need to be aware of privacy issues that have been arising in recent years. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to your organization if it processes personal information belonging to European Union citizens. Even if you have no ties to the EU at all, you may face similar privacy regulations soon. California leads the way for the United States, enacting the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. While it does not go into effect until 2020, employers should begin compliance procedures now. Other jurisdictions in the United States will surely follow with their own privacy laws.
Finally, marijuana legislation continues to cause confusion in the workplace. Marijuana remains illegal on the federal level, but numerous states have legalized marijuana in some way. Missouri and Utah both recently legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes while Michigan added recreational marijuana to its already existing medical marijuana program. Additionally, there is still no drug test available that tests for current intoxication under marijuana. The available drug tests can detect marijuana in the system for days, including legal use. Because marijuana laws vary based on jurisdiction, it is important for employers to review specific legislation to determine their rights for drug testing and taking action against those who use marijuana legally.
2019 is set to be another busy year in Compliance, with many of the topics discussed above continuing to be addressed in the new year. If you would like AccuSource to provide a complimentary review of your current background screening compliance program, please contact us at marketing@accusource-online.com.

Grant Fox, né le 6 juin 1962 à New Plymouth, est un joueur de rugby néo-zélandais, évoluant au poste de demi d'ouverture. Vainqueur de la première édition de la  Coupe du monde, en  1987, compétition dont il termine avec le meilleur total de points marqués, il est, au terme de sa carrière, l'international néo-zélandais comptant le plus de points en sélection, avant ensuite d'être privé de ce record par Andrew Mehrtens.

Biographie

Il dispute ses premières rencontres sous le maillot de la Nouvelle-Zélande à l'occasion d'une tournée aux Fidji où il dispute deux rencontres de semaines, contre le quinze du Président et l'équipe d', Wayne Smith, le titulaire du poste de demi d'ouverture disputant le match, qui n'est pas considéré comme test, face aux Fidji. Il est de nouveau utilisé l'année suivante, lors d'une tournée en Argentine, où, après deux rencontres, il obtient sa première sélection avec les  lors du premier test face aux Argentins. Smith, malade lors du premier, retrouve ensuite sa place de tituaire lors du deuxième test.

Durant l'année 1986, il est en concurrence avec un autre ouvreur, Frano Botica. Cette rivalité oppose deux joueurs aux qualités différentes, Botica plus joueur et attaquant à la main, Fox, ouvreur précis dans tous ses coups de pied, de déplacement, chandelles, pénalités ou drops. C'est alors Botica qui occupe le poste de titulaire chez les . Fox est toutefois toujours présent dans l'effectif néo-zélandais, disputant trois rencontres lors de la tournée en France.

Lors de l'année 1987, Fox s'impose au poste de titulaire lors du mondial, première édition de la coupe du monde, organisée conjointement en Nouvelle-Zélande et Australie. Il dispute les six rencontres jouées de son équipe, inscrivant 22, 26, 22, 22, 17 et 17 points face à l'Italie, les Fidji, l'Argentine, l'Écosse, le pays de Galles et la France en finale. Avec 116 points, il est le meilleur marqueur de la compétition, ce total étant toujours, après la dernière édition disputée en 2011, le meilleur total réalisé sur une édition. Le titre de champion du monde est confirmé un mois plus tard par une victoire lors de la Bledisloe Cup face aux .

En 1988, il continue d'occuper le poste de titulaire, remportant deux victoires en mai et juin face aux Gallois, puis disputant trois rencontres, deux victoires et un nul face aux . En 1989, il inscrit 13 puis 18 points lors de deux victoires face aux Français, en tournée en Nouvelle-Zélande. Cette saison continue par deux victoires face aux Argentins, deux face aux Australiens. En novembre, il participe à la tournée en Europe, remportant les tests face aux Gallois et aux Irlandais.

C'est face à une autre nation britannique qu'il inscrit son premier essai en tests, face à l'Écosse à Dunedin en juin de l'année suivante. Avec les , il remporte trois nouvelles victoires, lors du deuxième test face aux Écossais et lors de deux tests face aux . Il est également présent lors du test suivant, à Wellington, où les  s'imposent sur le score 21 à 9, neuf points de Fox, mettant ainsi un terme à une série de 50 matchs d'invincibilité pour les , dont 23 tests, ce qui est alors un record mondial. Les  disputent ensuite deux tests en France, deux victoires 24 à 3 et 30 à 12.

Les , préparent la Coupe du monde 1991, disputée en Europe, principalement en Angleterre qui doit accueillir la finale à Twickenham, en remportant deux victoires face aux Argentins à Buenos Aires, puis s'inclinant face aux  à Sydney et prenant leur revanche à Auckland. Lors de la phase de poule, les  s'imposent 18 à 12 à Twickenham face aux Anglais, puis 46 à 6 face aux États-Unis, rencontre où Fox est laissé au repos au profit de Jon Preston, 31 à 21 face à l'Italie. Victorieux du Canada sur le score de 29 à 13 en quart de finale, les  s'inclinent face à leur rivaux de l'hémisphère sud. Fox inscrit les six points de la défaite 16 à 6 à Lansdowne Road.

Lors de l'année 1992, Fox est mis en concurrence avec Walter Little, qui dispute deux des trois tests face à un quinze mondial en tournée en Nouvelle-Zélande pour honorer le centenaire de la fédération néo-zélandais. Il est également remplaçant lors des deux tests face aux Irlandais, avant de retrouver un poste de titulaire lors des trois tests en Australie, deux défaites à Sydney et Brisbane, et une victoire à Sydney. L'événement majeur de l'année est toutefois la rencontre de Johannesburg face aux , qui renoue avec le rugby international après le boycott lié à l'apartheid. Les  remportent cette rencontre sur le score de 27 à 24, avec 12 points de Fox.

Pour la première fois de sa carrière, ils affrontent les Lions britanniques lors de la tournée de ces derniers. Grâce à une pénalité contestée lors de la dernière minute, il donne la victoire à son équipe sur le score de 20 à 18. Les Lions se donnent la possibilité de remporter la série en s'imposant lors du deuxième test sur le score de 20 à 7. Les , avec 15 points de Fox, remporte la série grâce à une victoire 30 à 13 à Auckland.

Les  enchaînent ensuite par deux victoires, à Dunedin face aux Australiens, et à Auckland face aux Samoas, rencontre où il met un terme à sa carrière internationale, détenant alors le record de points marqués par un international néo-zélandais.

Après carrière

Après sa carrière, il est resté dans le monde du rugby, effectuant des commentaires sportifs pour la télévision. Il a également fait partie de l'équipe d'entraîneurs de la province d'Auckland dans le championnat néo-zélandais ou de la franchise des Auckland Blues, participant ainsi à la victoire de ceux-ci dans le Super 12 2003.

De 2012 à 2022, il est sélectionneur indépendant de l'équipe de Nouvelle-Zélande de rugby à XV. Son rôle consiste à visionner et analyser les matchs des All Blacks (en sélection comme en club) pour fournir au vrai sélectionneur ses résultats sur le jeu ou les performances des joueurs. Il n'est pas membre de l'encadrement de l'équipe qui travaille avec les joueurs sur le terrain.

EADS AND THALES MERGER RUMOURS REFUSE TO GO AWAY
25 Sep 03. BATTLESPACE has reported on countless occasions the growing rumours of the marriage between Thales and EADS, thus bolstering the latter's electronics capability. The problems regarding the French Government bail-out of Alstom, which may eventually lead to the Alstom shipyards becoming the EADS of ship building, with Thales and DCN, leaves the French Government with a dilemma as to its 30% share of Thales. Although profitable and growing, Thales has lost out on a number of key contracts recently in the UK in particular and may prefer a grater role within EADS, whose electronic products segment, as we reported at DSEi, is now a separate entity. Should Thales become part of EADS this would pose a dilemma for Thales Avionics which is the major supplier to Airbus. The European Commission may require a divestment of Thales Avionics to a company such as Smiths (SEE 'SMITHS REPORTS PROFIT RISE'). Although a supplier to the A380 programme, Smiths has long coveted a greater role in Airbus avionics. The company now has a £1.5bn war chest which some suggest that shareholders may require to the company to return in the form of a scrip dividend. However, if the management can make a case for an acquisition the companies in the firing line would be, apart from Thales Avionics, Cobham and Chemring, for the formers flight refuelling capability which Smiths is expanding and the latter's flare business which Smiths ahs identified as a core growth area. A deal with Rockwell Collins now looks far off given that the company's share price has doubled this year giving a value of £2bn+.

It has been a super busy week at the Westway with plenty of new routes being set and competitions being planned. You guys have been busy too, with lots of intense training and tea drinking going on in the wall. The new routes on our fresh featured wall have been taking a pounding with loads of you perfecting that foot work by using only features for feet.
Add a plus to that grade you people. Check this guy out with that cross arm clipping. Such a cool new wall.
It has been getting chilly in the wall which can only mean one thing. Competition time is on its way. On the 3rd of November The London University Bouldering Event comes to the Westway. This multi round bouldering comp affectionately named LUBE will be holding its first round on our front bouldering wall, or to those in the know, the Oven. We will be setting some killer problems to try shut down the best student climbers in the land. So be sure to come down and try and send a few yourseves. If you're a student and want to take part, click on the link below.
We are also busy organising this season's Super League. Last year was a massive success with climbers of all abilities throwing down on, undoubtedly the sickest comp problems ever set at the Westway. The atmosphere was great and we are so excited to be putting it on again. So excited in fact, we are making it even bigger, better and way more super.
This season's Super League will be four rounds instead of three and will have some amazing prizes, as well as the usual tasty doughnuts. You guys had better get training, I saw this one guy last night doing one arm pull ups on the Beastmaker. But don't freak out just yet, there is still plenty of time. The Super League has been moved and the first round will now start on 15th January 2013.
Over the pond Team Westway are continuing to climb the famous climbs of the Yosemite Valley. Andre has been tussling with the mega steep crack line, Separate Reality. Check out the pictures for tickets to the gun show.
After their characteristic epic on Royal Arches, Shan and San had retired to Lake Tahoe for some five star routes, mountain biking jet ski debauchery and general beach action. This 'chilling out' had to end though, as Liam Halsey, the Walkers Crisp speed lead champion had arrived in the valley and had warmed up by soloing Royal Arches, fresh from the plane, POW! With the team assembled and ready for action it was time for something big..... only for disaster to strike straight out the blocks. While leaving a car Shan closed the door behind her but left her thumb behind. This could have spelled an end for her climbing adventures for this trip. Being a hardened South African, drastic measures were considered but full amputation was ruled out. Instead she popped a couple of Nurofen, taped up and went jamming.
The group of Westway's finest made a team ascent of the Rostrum. The Rostrum is considered to be the best climb in the Valley. Although saying that any climb in the valley is 'the best' climb will be met by many other alternative suggestions. Nevertheless the Rostrum is an amazing 8 pitch crack system that offers consistently fantastic hand and finger jamming action. The route is 240 meters long and takes most parties around 7 hours to ascend.
Seeing these pics makes me angry, I just want to be climbing crack too! I guess in the mean time I will just have to keep training. There are lots of cool routes up in the wall at the moment to keep us fit until we jump on that plane to the states.
Back in the wall more excitement this week came in the form of a royal visit. Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice is back from a trip to the Alps where she and a team climbed Mont Blonc to raise funds for the Big Change Charitable Trust. They have been paying the Westway a number of visits to work on those important rope skills before undertaking their big adventure. This week they were in to talk to the BBC for a live broadcast on breakfast news. Follow the link to check out the video.
While climbing in the wall lots of people have been asking us about the new quickdraws we have been putting up all over the place. Well, they are the new DMM Alpha Sport Gates and they are the smoothest gates I have ever clipped. You just have to put the rope near the draw and KAPOW the things clipped. DMM claim that it's the most 'clip friendly' biner they have ever made.
We have had some great feedback from all you guys that have been using them. Compare them to the other biners around the wall next time you're in for a climb. Just don't take too long because soon we will be going full Alpha gate. They are available at Urban Rock.
We are eagerly awaiting the new steel versions that will be longer lasting. You guys and your crazy whippers really wear out our quickdraws.
Now get on that Beastmaker and try those one arm pull ups. The Super League is coming!
The Westway climbing centre is the premier climbing venue in London and the south east. With over 120 roped lines and 150 square meters of bouldering there is something for every level of climber.

Trey Gowdy: Why classified doc scandals won't lead to criminal charges | The Fox News Rundown
FOX News | Video Broadcast
Amid ongoing investigations into former President Trump and President Biden for their mishandling of classified documents, news broke on Tuesday that former Vice President Mike Pence had classified documents discovered in his Indiana residence as well. While many speculate on what the investigations will uncover, Trey Gowdy is doubtful they will result in criminal charges. He joined the Rundown to discuss the gravity of the classified documents controversy, why he decided to leave his position as a lawmaker in Congress, and he elaborates on other difficult decisions he has made in his new book, "Start, Stay, or Leave: The Art of Decision Making."
Russia is advancing on strategic footholds in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine as President Zelenskyy emphasizes the need for military aid and heavy weaponry to combat the reinvigorated Russian forces. Special guest host Dana Perino speaks with Michael Allen, the founder of Beacon Global Strategies and former Special Assistant for National Security to President George W. Bush, about how a Ukrainian counteroffensive could put the pressure back on Moscow and why the Biden administration must better explain to Americans how the defense of Ukraine serves US national interests.
