Henriette Löffler (1780–1848), verehelichte Huttenlocher, war eine deutsche Kochbuchautorin.

Leben und Werk
Henriette Löffler war die Tochter von Friederike Löffler (1744–1805), die um 1791 in Stuttgart das Neue Kochbuch veröffentlichte. Der Erfolg dieser Publikation sicherte das Überleben des Steinkopf-Verlags während der Koalitionskriege von 1792 bis 1815. Hauptverbreitungsgebiet des Kochbuchs war vorerst Süddeutschland, später kam es zu steigender Resonanz auch im Norden Deutschlands. Das Buch wurde bis ins 20. Jahrhundert immer wieder neu aufgelegt und erlebte insgesamt 38 Auflagen. Trittbrettfahrerinnen wie Charlotte Löffler oder A. Löfflerin versuchten die Popularität der Autorin für ihre Publikationen zu nutzen. Auch ihre Tochter, Henriette Huttenlocher, nutzte ihren Mädchennamen, als sie das Neuste Kochbuch für bürgerliche Haushaltungen veröffentlichte, im Wesentlichen eine Fortführung des mütterlichen Werkes. In einem Schiedsgerichtsverfahren von 1843 wurde ihr schließlich die ausschließliche Verwendung ihres Geburtsnamens untersagt. Sie musste fortan als Henriette Huttenlocher, geborene Löffler firmieren. Dennoch wurde ihr Kochbuch ein Erfolg und erschien in zahlreichen Auflagen, auch noch im 20. Jahrhundert. Nachhaltigen Ruhm erfuhr die Autorin post mortem, erschienen doch die meisten der Neuauflagen erst nach ihrem Tod im Jahr 1848. Fast fünfzig Jahre später ist in der Vorrede zur 12. Auflage zu lesen:

Autor dieser Zeilen war Theodor Bechtel, der das Werk seit 1883, der 10. Auflage, regelmäßig bearbeitet und erweitert hatte. Es versah das Kochbuch mit Holzschnitten nach Zeichnungen schwäbischer Künstler und sorgte für eine repräsentative Ausstattung. Bechtel übernahm 1887 das Café Marquardt in Stuttgart und gab ihm seinen Namen. Ab 1897 fügte er auch den Neuauflagen des Löffler'schen Kochbuchs seinen Namen hinzu. Es hieß nunmehr Löffler-Bechtel Großes illustriertes Kochbuch. Die editorischen Bemühungen lohnten sich, denn das Werk wurde 1897 in Stuttgart und 1899 in Berlin mit Goldmedaillen ausgezeichnet.  Bechtel besorgte auch noch die Ausgabe des Jahres 1903.

Schließlich übernahm sein Sohn, Eugen Bechtel, ebenfalls Koch, die weitere Redaktionsarbeit am Kochbuch. Er bezeichnete sich als Enkelsohn von Henriette Löffler.

The capabilities and effectiveness of construction project management software has evolved massively in a short period of time and the most reputable and trusted providers continue to upgrade and enhance their product offerings to stay abreast of and in many cases lead the market requirements.
"At the cutting edge of technology, integrated construction project management software provides contractors with an incredibly diverse and effective tool box" notes Ian Hauptfleisch, general manager (MENA) of construction software powerhouse CCS Gulf. "In this fast-paced, demanding industry, choosing the right software can be vital in winning and managing projects."


About 15 people were arrested in Taipei, Taiwan for being included in an alleged crypto scam worth approximately $8 million according to the announcements of Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau that reached our crypto news today.
The scam was focused on a cryptocurrency named IBCoin which was meant mainly to attract investors. 2018 was already a bad enough year for the crypto industry when talking about scams since there were about $3 billion in losses reported and this current one is probably the biggest one in all Asia.
The CIB made the announcement on Saturday that they have successfully arrested 15 suspects that took part in the scam that defrauded more than 30 investors out of more than $8.15 million.
Though there aren't any clear details at this moment, the CIB's investigation Corps chief Li Chi-hsun confirmed that the 15 suspects have been detained after two raids that happened on January 9 and January 17. He also confirmed that the ringleader of the group has also been apprehended.
The ringleader now only known as Li used his connections to buy IBCoins for only NT1.5 a piece in 2017 and later made the investors purchase the same coin for NT50-100 a piece while promising huge returns on their investment.
The group used the money to afford luxury apartments and cars which they posted pictures of on social media to lure investors and buy the coin. Of course, the investors who invested their money never received any return on their investment.
According to local authorities, the IBCoin is basically worthless. They also seized only a small portion of the money about $70,000.
All of the suspects are charged with fraud and the case has been handed to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office.


If you happen to own a hair company, you realize that there is a lot of competition. You need to look for what will help you be significant and make an impact in the market by selecting an awesome strategy. You all know that there are many products that you will find at the market and the best way is to ensure that you get to learn your clients the best way. The first thing that you need to do is to establish an awesome website for the company that you are running.
Your website will be the first landing [place when a client is trying to get the kind of hair that you may be selling, there is need to have a friendly site that will give you an easy way to carry out your various services in the right manner. Choose a design that will show the various hair that you sell so that you get a good way to keep your clients getting the right services the best way. Take time to include the kind of designs that you are selling so that to choose information that will work for and your clients, include a social media site that relates to you.
Ensure that you have a good outline that will help you be able to differentiate your website in the right manner so that clients will have a good reason to buy your products and not from another company. Having labels that have been designed in a way that is unique is one of the most important ways to keep your products getting the attraction. Be sure to have enough information that will be important to the customer, be sure not to clutter such that it becomes complicated.
Clients want to be related with products that have been able to scoop the best top positions in the awards, and therefore you need to show some of the best awards that you have achieved as a seller. You need to know that when you post the awards that you have been able to achieve is one of the greatest ways that will make you end up having a great time and this is very important to relate to successful companies.
There is need to ensure that you focus on the customer care services that you offer. You find that the way your customer service speaks, it will be monitored by the clients and this is the reason you need to ensure that you clean up your customer care so that you are well represented out there.

Air pollution and climate policies not in conflict
Source: European Commission, Environment DG
Air pollution policy does not undermine the long-term goals of climate change policy, a new study concludes. Although reductions in the pollutant sulphur dioxide could have some warming effects on the Earth's temperature, the impacts are only short term and will never outweigh climate policy's cooling effects.
Some researchers have raised concerns that air pollution policies may undermine policies to mitigate climate change. This is because a key air pollutant, sulphur dioxide, forms sulphate aerosols which reflect the Sun's energy back into space and cause a cooling effect on the Earth's atmosphere. Reductions in sulphur dioxide emissions could therefore lead to temperature increases.
While rising global temperatures will have many damaging environmental, economic and social impacts, it is also clearly important to reduce sulphur dioxide pollution. Sulphur dioxide is linked to health problems including chronic bronchitis, heart disease and asthma. Furthermore, not all air pollutants have a cooling effect; black carbon (soot) has a significant warming effect and air quality policies targeting this pollutant will benefit efforts to reduce climate change.
To investigate this complex issue, researchers used a simple climate model, MAGICC, and an energy-economy model, REMIND, which considers the effects of technology-specific fuel consumption and measures to control emissions. Different types of air pollution not only have different global warming properties, they also have different sources. For example, most sulphur dioxide is emitted from large-scale sources, such as power stations or industry, while most black carbon comes from small-scale sources, such as residential energy use or transportation.
The researchers therefore examined six scenarios of air pollution policy from 2005–2100: (1) no air pollution policy, (2) weak policy, (3) medium-strength policy and (4) stringent policy. The final two targeted either (5) large-scale sources (therefore having a greater effect on sulphur dioxide) or (6) small-scale sources (therefore having a greater effect on black carbon).
They modelled the effects of climate change policy under all six air pollution scenarios, assuming a climate change RCP 2.6 scenario, a projection of greenhouse gas concentrations used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The results show that air pollution policies do reduce aerosols which would otherwise help reflect the Sun's energy back into space. This is especially so if only large-scale sources are targeted. This would partly counter climate change policies, which aim to limit global temperature rise.
However, this negative effect on climate is only short term. The models suggest that the rate of temperature increase may be greater under stringent air pollution policies until 2025, but after this point the rate is very similar to scenarios without air pollution policies in place. Furthermore, air pollution policies do not jeopardise long-term climate policy goals.
According to the models, even stringent air pollution policies would not affect the point at which more energy is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere than reflected back into space. Stringent air pollution policies are effective in reducing sulphur and aerosols, regardless of climate policy, the study says. However, these efforts are boosted by climate policies' dual benefits. As a result of reduced fossil fuel combustion, air pollution also falls substantially. The researchers conclude that because air pollution policies do not prevent long-term climate targets being reached and there is no conflict between the two policy areas.

The foundation of your career and the essential first step – good grades are vital if you want to progress in your legal career.
The academic stage between GCSE and undergraduate level – again, good grades are essential. Some universities favour traditional, academically rigorous subjects such as history (A-level law is not usually specified).
The solicitor apprenticeship is a six-year programme of paid, on-the-job training, integrating a law degree, which ends in qualification as a solicitor. The entry requirements are five GCSEs graded A*-C and three A levels graded C or above (or equivalent work experience).
Lawyers are not required to have studied law at university! It is possible to do a non-law degree and then do the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL).
The qualifying law degree, or LLB, covers seven compulsory subjects: public, criminal, contract, tort, property, equity and trusts, and EU law.
Like the law degree, the one-year Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) concentrates on the seven foundations of legal practice. When combined with a non-law degree, it is equivalent to a law degree.
The one-year Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) is the vocational stage of training to be a barrister.
The one-year Legal Practice Course (LPC) is the vocational stage of training to be a solicitor.
Pupillage is a compulsory, year-long apprenticeship before qualification as a barrister. Pupils practise under the guidance and supervision of a pupil supervisor.
The period of recognised training (traditionally known as a 'training contract') is a period of paid employment and training with a law firm or other approved organisation before qualification as a solicitor. In most cases this will take the form of a two-year formal traineeship.
Barristers offer advice on specific legal issues and are on the front line, representing clients in court.
Solicitors give advice and assistance on matters of law; they are the first point of contact for those seeking legal advice and representation.
It is also possible to practise law as a chartered legal executive – a qualified lawyer (though not a solicitor) who is trained to specialise as an expert in a particular area of law. The route to qualification is to complete CILEx 3 and CILEx 6 (or CILEx Graduate Fast Track for those with a law degree) and three years' qualifying employment. For more info, go to www.cilex.org.uk.
A legal apprentice is someone who joins a law firm straight from school, rather than going to university. He or she receives paid, on-the-job training in law and legal practice, as well as gaining competence in legal skills, commercial skills and professional conduct. For more detail on the different types of apprenticeship (namely, intermediate, paralegal and solicitor), visit our Legal apprenticeships section.
Paralegals have traditionally worked alongside solicitors in law firms as support staff, although in practice many paralegals do the same work as their trainee or newly-qualified solicitor counterparts. Paralegal roles provide a good route into the profession for students and graduates, either as valuable work experience before applying for a training contract or as a way to fulfil the SRA's qualifying requirements without undertaking a formal period of recognised training. For more detail on what paralegals do and how to become one, visit our Paralegals section.


Although there are many OSGs these days, the genre wouldn't be where it is without the mass of RTS games that have come before. So what makes them alike and what makes them different?
This is one aspect in which the genres differ greatly. RTS online games are fast, frenzied affairs that can last mere minutes. We all remember Zerg rushes from the days of Starcraft. At times it can seem more like who can click the fastest or who remembers all the hotkeys better rather than who has any kind of strategy. Additionally, games are usually played against only a few other players at a time, or even one on one. OSGs are all massively multiplayer, so there are thousands of other players at any given time in a particular game. It can take days, weeks or even months to solve conflicts- if they ever get solved at all. Alliances are a huge part of OSGs as well. In order to succeed at an OSG, you simply cannot do it alone. Even if your army might be the biggest on your server, even a small alliance could easily team up to take you out. An RTS 1v1 battle is really just a race to who can build the bigger army quicker. OSGs also encourage interaction between players and alliances in the form of trading and diplomacy. Players can trade goods back and forth, and alliances are encouraged to talk to one another. In an RTS, teammates may talk to each other to discuss strategy, but communication between enemies is usually kept at a minimum.
Both RTS games and OSGs share a need to amass as many resources as rapidly as possible- and to keep those resources coming for the duration of the game. In OSGs this is usually done through specific buildings or fields that really don't even need to be watched- once they're built, they're just going to keep producing resources (wood, stone, etc). A key difference with OSGs is that the resources are usually infinite; a cropland will keep producing crops indefinitely. In most RTS games though, resources are a limited commodity and running out is a very real possibility, if not an inevitable one. For this reason, the battle between RTS players usually comes down to territories and the resources found therein. This is one of the main driving forces behind the need to expand your empire. Although not as major, another difference is that RTS games often require specific "worker" units to be built to collect resources; this takes away from overall army size and forces the player to micromanage resource production. In most OSGs, however, these units don't usually need to be built, and resource production is usually as simple as upgrading the appropriate buildings.
In both genres, the player must expand to be competitive. The more cities or bases one has, the more money, and thus, the bigger army. In OSGs, there is no fear of running out of resources, but at the same time, you need a whole lot more and a much bigger army in comparison to RTS games. In Lord of Ultima, for instance, the system is designed to let you expand anywhere there is an open space on the world map. It is possible and in fact encouraged to devote entire cities to the production of one type of resource or one type of unit, but to utilize them all as a whole. As mentioned above, expanding in RTS games is usually due to a need for increased resource production and/or the depletion of resources at your home base. The newly founded bases in RTS games are not necessarily permanent either- they are usually hastily set up and very vulnerable to the enemy's attack, since they are probably seeking to expand on the very spot that you just did. The "fog of war" found in so many RTS games makes actually finding the right place to expand an issue to consider as well.
What exactly is the strategy in both of these strategy genres? At face value, it's all about getting the biggest army, and laying waste to your enemy through superior firepower. The difference is that in OSGs, the emphasis really is placed on the size of the army- in fact, to be successful a lot of the time, you need to combine your army with that of your allies', and overwhelm the enemy with shear numbers. In an RTS, army size is still very important, but the army can only get so big. And in comparison to an OSG, it's usually not very big at all. So from there it becomes more about choosing the right unit types to defeat your enemy, as well as a race to see who can do it first. It can almost be a rock-paper-scissors type match; i.e., the enemy has guard towers? Build the game's equivalent of catapults that stay out of range. They have mechanical units? Build the magic ones that do extra damage to them. In an OSG, however, what generally matters most is just having more units.
Anything to add to this list? Disagree with something? Let me hear it!
Ah, I remember my Warcraft III online record…I think I won maybe one game out of ten. And most off those ended in minutes. At least with OSGs I get to stay in the game!


Well, it has been decided – I am going for the Galaxy S II. I will try to milk it out of O2 on the 23rd of May!
So – the first person to send me £300+ gets my iPhone 4 and I will throw in the Battery extender I have!

Q: C++ ListView hide item I have created pretty much standard ListView.
    RECT rec;
    GetClientRect(hwnd, &rec);
    ListView = CreateWindow(WC_LISTVIEW, (LPCSTR)L"", (WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | LVS_REPORT), 0, 0, rec.right, rec.bottom-23, hwnd, (HMENU)8553, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
    SendMessage(ListView, LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, 0, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES); // Set style

Now I insert few columns like that:
    LVCOLUMNW listColumnW = { 0 };
    listColumnW.mask = LVCF_FMT | LVCF_WIDTH | LVCF_TEXT | LVCF_SUBITEM;
    listColumnW.pszText = L"Column1";
    listColumnW.cx = 150;
    listColumnW.fmt = LVCFMT_LEFT;
    SendMessage(ListView,LVM_INSERTCOLUMNW, 0, (LPARAM)&listColumnW);

after that I instert items and subitems
    LVITEMW lisW = { 0 };
    lisW.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_PARAM;
    lisW.pszText = item_text[i];
    lisW.iItem = i;
    lisW.lParam = i;
    SendMessage(ListView, LVM_INSERTITEMW, 0, (LPARAM)&lisW);

Now I'd like to implement some kind of search / filtering.
I see many people suggest to delete/reinsert items, however as there are quite a number of items in my listview that isn't the best solution.
While googling I learned that it should be possible to set groupid and set state of item (hide it).
However I'm not sure exactly how to do that, lets say I have 10 items in my listview and I want to hide some items, how exactly do I do that?
EDIT:
I have set LVM_ENABLEGROUPVIEW and created two groups, one is supposed to be shown and other one hidden.
    LVGROUP group = { 0 };
    group.cbSize = sizeof(LVGROUP);
    group.mask = LVGF_GROUPID;
    group.iGroupId = 10;//shown
    ListView_InsertGroup(ListView, -1, &group);
    group.iGroupId = 11;//hidden
    group.mask = LVGF_GROUPID | LVGF_STATE;
    group.stateMask = LVGS_HIDDEN;
    group.state = LVGS_HIDDEN;
    ListView_InsertGroup(ListView, -1, &group);

Now I have added some items to both groups, only problem is I can see them both (they are separated), while the other one is supposed to be hidden.

A: Use LVM_SETITEM to assign a list item to a specific group via the LVITEM::iGroupId member:
LVITEMW lisW = { 0 };
lisW.mask = ... | LVIF_GROUPID;
...
lisW.iItem = ...;
lisW.iGroupId = ...;
SendMessage(ListView, 0, (LPARAM)&lisW);

You can use LVM_INSERTGROUP to insert a hidden group, or use LVM_SETGROUPINFO to hide an existing group, by setting its LVGROUP::state member to LVGS_HIDDEN:
LVGROUP grp = { 0 };
grp.cbSize = sizeof(grp);
grp.mask = LVGF_STATE;
grp.iGroupId = ...;
grp.stateMask = LVGS_HIDDEN | LVGS_NOHEADER | LVGS_COLLAPSED;
grp.state = LVGS_HIDDEN | LVGS_NOHEADER | LVGS_COLLAPSED;

SendMessage(ListView, LVM_INSERTGROUP, -1, (LPARAM)&grp);
or:
SendMessage(ListView, LVM_SETGROUPINFO, grp.iGroupId, (LPARAM)&grp);

Make sure you have enabled groups via LVM_ENABLEGROUPVIEW beforehand:
SendMessage(ListView, LVM_ENABLEGROUPVIEW, TRUE, 0);

That being said, when you have lots of items to display/search/filter in a ListView, you are usually better off using the ListView in virtual mode instead.  You can pre-filter your data as needed, then use LVM_SETITEMCOUNT to specify the number of items you want to display, and then handle LVN_GETDISPINFO to retrieve data for specific items when the ListView requests them from you. This way, you can do all of your searching/filtering within your datasource directly (in memory, in a database, etc), then simply invalidate the portions of the ListView that need to be refreshed onscreen using LVM_REDRAWITEMS when you have new data to display.  When you have items to add/remove, you simply re-send LVM_SETITEMCOUNT.  This is a much faster and flexible way to handle lots of list items.

Ageing Lake Crossing Presents Range of Asset Management Issues
May 19, 2018 July 29, 2019 Inna min read
In a day when power utilities across the globe have to increasingly deal with ageing power infrastructure, one transmission line crossing a wide lake presents an example of the types of asset management issues that can be involved. The project in this case is made all the more interesting because of its unusual history and the fact that, when built, it was a true engineering marvel and the world's longest transmission span. In 2016, INMR traveled to the Kootenay region of British Columbia in Canada – a rugged landscape of mountains and lakes – to report on current efforts to maintain this important lake crossing.
The Lake Kootenay Crossing certainly ranks among the world's more remarkable transmission line projects. Commissioned in 1952 and designed for 170 kV, it was constructed by an industrial company to supply power to its large mines in the nearby Purcell Mountains. In spite of challenges that came with erecting huge towers in the steep forested terrain, a 3.4 km (2.13 mile) span across the lake – a record distance at the time – was deemed preferable to the alternative of building 112 kilometers of new line to go around the lake.
What made this lake crossing all the more fascinating is that it soon became target of one of the first examples of modern-day terrorism. In 1962, it was believed, a fringe group from a religious community of pacifist farmers who emigrated from Russia a century ago allegedly protested industrial development by bombing the monumental 366 foot (112 m) transmission tower that stood on the east shore of the lake. The event made national headlines and caused a massive outage across the region. Yet, in spite of the extensive damage, temporary restoration was achieved in less than a month while cross-lake service was permanently restored in only 8 months due to the importance of the power supply for local mines.
62 ft. (19 m) towers on east side of lake stand on rocky outcrop some 1300 ft. above Lake Kootenay.
Single phase towers on east side of lake relocated in 1962 to higher elevation and replaced original 3-phase tower destroyed by bombing.
The reason why a 366 ft. 3-phase tower was originally needed on the east of Kootenay Lake in spite of high mountains on both sides was that the crossing distance at that point was the maximum available at the time for a single length of conductor without splice – in this case 10,656 ft. or 3,248 m. On the west side, however, single-phase towers could be engineered much shorter (only 62 ft.) since these were sited at an elevation of about 1300 ft. (396 m) above the lake.
366 ft. (112 m) tower was among world's highest transmission structures when built in early 1950s.
Remnants of once impressive tower after destruction by bomb in 1962.
However, by the time the huge east tower was destroyed in 1962, manufacturing technology for steel wire had advanced to the point that a longer single span of conductor had become possible. This meant that replacement towers could now be relocated to higher elevation and further from the lake, allowing them to become much shorter and virtual duplicates of those on the west side – unaffected by the bombing.
Each of 6 dead-end insulator assemblies carries 216 porcelain bells – a total of 1296 for lake crossing span.
Among the project's more notable engineering achievements was the unique dead-end insulator arrangement that still carries the 75,000 to 79,000 lb. load of the 1.25 in. diameter (3.175 cm), 91 strand high tensile steel wire used for each phase. Maximum design load for the crossing under wind and winter conditions is 120,000 lbs. (UTS of 237,000 lbs.). Composed of 6 double strings of 18 bells, each assembly contains a total of 216 x 25,000 lb. short-shank, tongue and clevis porcelain bells, connected in a 'shoe string' pattern to reinforce strength. The original insulators from the 1950s were replaced in the 1970s with similar units manufactured at one of Canada's last remaining porcelain insulator factories
Original bell from 1952 was found damaged, possibly due to power arc or gun vandalism.
Electrical testing has revealed several punctured units per assembly but these are not yet a concern given design was for 170 kV while line voltage is now 63 kV.
Dennis Schlender, formerly with West Kootenay Power and now head of consulting firm DBS Energy Services, has had a long association with this span and remains closely involved in the present day maintenance decisions that affect it. He and Sr. Transmission Engineer, Alison Loosley of current line owner, FortisBC, face several challenges when it comes to keeping the span operating reliably at the existing line voltage of 63 kV.
One of these challenges is monitoring the condition of the critical six dead-end insulator assemblies, where inspection has revealed signs of ongoing cement growth and cracking as well as fracture between pin and hub in almost all units, while some 13% on the west side of the crossing have tested as failed. There has also been evidence of rotation of the porcelain body inside the cement of the iron cap in some of the bells. Loosley is watching these issues carefully but feels there is no immediate threat since, under worst-case loading, only about 36% of available mechanical strength would be utilized. Schlender is also reassured and remarks, "these bells are known to be from a factory that supplied lower quality porcelain but in all my years I have never seen a case where they failed mechanically before they failed electrically." In this regard, recent testing on each string has revealed several shorted insulators but again not enough to present a serious risk of electrical failure – all the more so since the strings were designed for 170 kV but now need support only 63 kV.
Porcelain clevis and tongue bells, even though of lesser quality, visually appear almost new in spite of over 40 years service.
The porcelain ball and socket insulators on the line connecting to the lake crossing towers were replaced with glass strings in 1998, when the line was still owned by West Kootenay Power and operated at 170 kV. According to Schlender, the reason for the insulation changeover at the time was that serious degradation had been found in the cement of these old porcelain bells. "While there is lots of redundancy built into the clevis and tongue deadend assemblies on the span towers," he remarks, "the wood poles coming in had much less insulation. Therefore they were comparatively vulnerable to electrical or mechanical failure due to the low quality insulators. They became the more critical problem and most if not all were replaced."
One area of concern relating to conductor is extent of cracking inside dead-end ingots in the stress relief sections that extend out 30 m from each tower.
Poles connecting to lake crossing span on east side had insulation changed over to glass in 1998.
Another present day asset management challenge is monitoring the condition of the 54 year-old tensile steel conductor used on the lake crossing since the re-build after the bombing. In the past, a conductor cart was in place for line workers to travel the length of the span and assess condition or carry out required maintenance. However, this cart is no longer in use and other methods have had to be applied since Loosley states that FortisBC prefers to avoid the expense and safety risks of trying to reintroduce it.
All marker cones along span are scheduled for replacement by autumn 2016.
Loosley and Schlender discuss maintenance problems on ageing crossing span of Kootenay Lake.
Drones have been an obvious choice given the line's varied topography but have encountered problems such as compass interference with control signals. Moreover, the inherent magnetic properties of the steel conductor are thought to have caused poor synchronization between the drone's internal compass and its GPS. In addition, any UAV used in this unique situation has to fly below the height of operator and one has in fact already crashed, due apparently to a combination of low power and loss of orientation
Original towers and foundations from 1952 estimated to still have residual life of 40 to 50 years.
Schlender and Loosley explain that among the maintenance issues with the conductor is deterioration observed in the galvanization in certain places. While not yet severe, this is still a worry. Potentially more serious is cracking detected in the molten metal interface between solid ingot dead-end terminations and conductor along the circa 30 m long strain relief section of the line. This was specially designed to transfer 60% of the line's load to the dead-end insulator assemblies, leaving only 40% to be borne by the main conductors themselves. "We have been trying to X-ray these ingots to evaluate the full extent of any cracks," reports Schlender. "This could eventually become a serious issue but for now inspection tells us that the conductor still has a service life of a further 20 years."
A maintenance project scheduled for this autumn will be replacing the 34 marker cones, some of which have deteriorated severely or fallen off. In the past, these were accessible with the conductor cart that was specially designed to move past them as it traveled along the span. Now, finding replacements that fit will be one challenge and this difficult work will have to be done from a helicopter using long line methods.
As for the original span towers and those built after the bombing, all are deemed to be in good condition with an estimated residual life of 40 to 50 years. Still, there will be a need for evidence of corrosion and also repairing minor cracks in the foundations, both also planned for later this year.
While the lake crossing span presently operates at 63 kV and no longer supplies power to the mining region near Kimberley, it is still deemed important since it is the back-up to other more recently built lines. Says Loosley, "while it now serves a much reduced load, it still helps ensure reliability on the east side of the lake should the newer lines encounter problems due to tree-related outages."
Reviewing the maintenance challenges that need to be addressed for this ageing but still important power link, Schlender notes, "there are a variety of complications today and we have to decide how best to deal with them. The crossing's integrity is still intact but there are, for example, clear insulation problems. It is not one single issue but rather several we will have to address on an ongoing basis and we must choose what are the best options in each case. This is particularly important not only due to the difficult terrain but also from a safety perspective."

The year 2014 is full of adventure so far. I kicked off the year with Hogmanay in Scotland, traveled to Alaska in winter, photographed around Oman, and hung out with frogs and squids in Malaysia. Now I'm settling in the lifestyle of Sabah. What an exciting year it has been.
This week, I'm on another adventure to a new country: Queensland, Australia!
Crossing this country/ continent west to east has been on my bucket list for a long time. I'm not doing that just yet, but quite excited to experience whole new adventure for two weeks. I'm leaving for Brisbane today. Ah, the excitement of visiting a new country! My official itinerary starts tomorrow. For the next two weeks, I'll be touring Brisbane, the outback in Charleville, Gold Coast, and entering #Room753 for a week. Seeing the southern Milkyway in the outback will be one of the best moments of my travels, I'm sure.
This trip is a part of Queensland's social media campaign to expose Queensland's destinations and activities through international digital influencers. Yes, I'm one of the influencers 🙂 Through this campaign, I will be not only learning about Queensland, but also participating new adventures, like driving (on the other side of the road!) and meeting koalas. Most of all, I'm excited to experience the local lifestyle. Part of the itinerary is a surprise – I love surprises!
I'll be tweeting and Instagramming from @RunawayJuno using #thisisQueensland and #room753. Queensland has been well known with their beautiful photos, make sure to follow them @queensland, also @australia and #seeAustralia.
While I'm in Queensland, what is the must think I shouldn't miss? Activities, destinations, food, or beer?
good luck heading my way (if not quite all the way!) send us a message or tweet if you need anything in Australia, I'm in Melbourne, so a fair way away still but might be able to help!
How did you find queensland or are you still travelling through it?
Im headed to Magnetic Island in October – reallly looking forward to it!

Are Latin American Women Really Too Good To Be True?
Most Western men who are new to the world of online dating would be forgiven for being just a little bit cynical about their chances of finding love with a woman from Central or South America. After all, the things people say about Latin women often seem just too good to be true.
Things like: these women are down to earth and do not care much for wealth because they come from humble backgrounds. These women are more interested in men who have traditional values and extol good character. These women are more feminine than Western women and make more loving and more reliable partners.
Well, as unbelievable as it may sound, all of these things are actually true. Whilst it is of course unwise to generalise about a whole continent; it is simply a fact that the vast majority of women from this part of the world are blessed with the characteristics mentioned above.
But why is this? Why do Latin American women make such terrific partners?
Although there are number of reasons behind this, the answer lies mainly in the fact that their culture moulds them to always put their family first. Indeed, the emphasis on family in this part of the world ensures that Latin girls are brought up to be good home makers and therefore they grow up with the innate ability to turn a home and family into one of the strongest and most stable aspects of a man's life.
Latin American women don't go on interracial dating websites to get themselves a Cinderella-type get-out-of-poverty card. They go on these sites because it improves their chances of finding a partner who will treat them well, respect them as individuals and love them sincerely. Most Latin ladies believe that Western men are better equipped to do this than Latin men and so they go online to get in touch with these men.
Indeed, the truth is that Latin American women find Western men as attractive as Western men find Latin American women. The only difference is that Latin ladies don't tend to embellish as much as Western guys!
To be sure, it is sometimes the case that men from some Western countries, for reasons of their own, choose to embellish the wonderful attributes and virtues of Latin American ladies and create myths which extol Latinas as being some kind of superior race of women.
This is not overly helpful as it simply adds fuel to cynics' fires.
Still; the enthusiasm is quite understandable to those in the know!

Kemp Challenges Pew Center to Global Warming Debate
CEI Staff • 10/31/1999
Washington, DC, November 1, 1999 – In an open letter published in today's Roll Call newspaper, Competitive Enterprise Institute Distinguished Fellow Jack Kemp invited the Pew Center on Global Climate Change to co-sponsor a series of debates on global warming policy with CEI.
The letter recognizes that both CEI and the Pew Center have produced substantive and thoughtful reviews of the science, economic, and public policy implications of global warming, yet strongly disagree on the conclusions.
"The American people should have the opportunity to review the evidence on both sides of this issue and then make their decision," Kemp states in the letter. "Our organizations have the ability to grant the American people that opportunity."
A recent $11 million dollar advertising campaign by radical environmental groups designed to scare Americans with scientifically inaccurate claims about the possible effects of climate change spurred the letter from Mr. Kemp. "CEI does not believe – and we hope the Pew Center would not either – that 30-second sound bites are an acceptable approach to resolving an issue that would have such serious impacts on the peoples of the planet."
Mr. Kemp, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and former member of Congress, joined CEI as its first Distinguished Fellow in the Spring of 1999. His work at CEI focuses on international environmental policies that affect people all over the US and the world.
CEI, a non-profit, non-partisan public policy group founded in 1984, is dedicated to the principles of free enterprise and limited government. For more information, please contact Emily McGee, director of media relations, at 202-331-1010, ext. 209.

Manufacturers commonly rely on consultants to help advance their business strategies.
Let's take a step back in time to look at several legendary business consultants.
Three prominent management consultants from the 20th century who left a lasting legacy include W. Edwards Deming, Peter Drucker and Tom Peters.
As a business logistics major in college during the 1990's, these individuals appeared frequently as hot topics throughout business classes.
In particular, each of these individuals left a significant impact on manufacturers. Even today, all three consultants continue to heavily influence decisions at our company.
W. Edwards Deming is considered by many to be the master of continual improvement of quality, as well as overall operation efficiency.
In June 1980, the acclaimed documentary "If Japan Can, Why Can't We" reintroduced Dr. Deming to America. He quickly became the voice of quality and sparked the quality revolution.
Deming consulted with clients such as Ford, Xerox and Proctor & Gamble.
Another consultant from the 20th century who left a lasting legacy includes Peter Drucker.
Peter Drucker, commonly referred to as the "father of management", authored 39 books. Above all, he wrote 30 books AFTER the age of 60. That's inspiration!
The impressive Drucker client list included a line up of corporate giants such as Sears, IBM, GM, GE, Intel, Coca-Cola, and Proctor & Gamble.
Furthermore, Drucker delivered ground breaking views on motivation, efficiency and time management.
He is also credited with coining the term "knowledge worker".
Check out this fantastic article about Peter Drucker from the Harvard Business Review: What Peter Drucker Knew About 2020.
Drucker's books serve not only corporate warriors, but also entrepreneurs as well.
For example, his 1985 book "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" deserves the role as mandatory reading for every entrepreneur.
Lastly, Tom Peters co-authored one of the greatest business books of all time, "In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies". This book served as required reading for business majors in the 1990's.
Tom Peters client list includes the Hersey Company, Rolls-Royce Aerospace, Texas Instruments and the U.S. Army.
"The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.
Finally, thanks for reading our post on 20th management consultants.
The Thomas Edison Legacy stands as not only one of the greatest inventors in history but also a brilliant entrepreneur. As such there are so many Thomas Edison quotes that still apply to today's society. Being an electronics manufacturer, Thomas Edison holds a special place in our hearts here at Falconer Electronics.
Below we have compiled our Favorite Thomas Edison Quotes into helpful categories: Success, Failure, Hard Work, Learning, and Friendship. All of which everyone can relate to. Whether you are in your dream job or looking for advancement there is an Edison quote that will encourage you to keep looking forward. Also, Edison often encouraged the idea of never giving up. Especially when things are not going how you planned.
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends, there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
Not everything of value in life comes from books- experience the world.

George Thomas Hargrave (born 27 July 1999) is an English first-class cricketer.

Early life and career
Hargrave was born at Walsall in July 1999. He was educated at Shrewsbury School, before going up to Hertford College, Oxford.  His poorest performance to date occurred during the 2021 Cuppers Cricket final, where he was caught behind by A Fordham (esq.) after chewing up dots in a streaky and disappointing 25 which left a poor taste in the fans mouths.  While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Cambridge University in The University Match of 2019 at Fenner's.  Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed in the Oxford first innings for 146 by Thomas Balderson, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 5 by Aaron Amin.  He has previously played minor counties cricket for Shropshire, making a single appearance for the county in the 2017 MCCA Knockout Trophy against Staffordshire at Shrewsbury.

Traffic management in large cities is a highly reliable and safe service that must be provided. Connectivity managed for Urban Traffic Control (UTC) equipment is typically located in hundreds of roadside cabinets. This is a very demanding environment with high level of vibration, extreme heat and cold, humidity and high level of electrical interference.
SATEL IBERIA has IP VPN routers designed for aggressive environments.
3G/LTE routers avoid the need for an external DSL modem or USB dongle, in this way we simplify the management and maintenance in only one device.
Thanks to its compact size, it fits in strict space limitations, while other features such as the locked power connector protects against traffic vibrations.
The solution has been tested for a year at multiple pilot sites to satisfy the low error rate, low latency and high runtime requirements of the traffic light control in an environment as demanding as the road.


I love New York, almost as much as I love a good burger! So I had to take the opportunity to check out by CHLOE's famed vegan burgers. by CHLOE has a couple of restaurants with more planned in SOHO, Rockefeller Plaza and Willamsburg and has a menu packed with plant-based goodness. We bypassed the salad and pasta options and went straight for the burgers. My partner in crime opted for The classic which consisted of a tempeh, lentil, chia and walnut burger with onions, pickles, beetroot ketchup and special sauce in a potato bun. I took the Guac burger, a black bean, quinoa, sweet potato burger with a corn salsa, guacamole, tortilla strips, chipotle aioli in a whole grain bun. Both burgers were sensational, filling, super tasty and with the right balance of spice. I really want to try and recreate these burgers when I get home, particularly the Guac burger as I love anything even remotely connected to Mexican food. We washed the burgers down with seasonal lemonade, which was fresh, zingy and limey. My only disappointment was the sweet potato fries, which lacked seasoning and were a little undercooked. However the extra beetroot ketchup, which you can help yourself to, improved the situation!
Even though we arrived in the middle of the lunch rush and there was a queue to the door, we got our food quickly. I was particularly impressed that employees were speeding up the wait by taking orders and payments via iPads from the queue. I would have loved to try the vegan ice cream on offer, roasted banana bourbon anyone??? but we were both too stuffed to manage. Overall I would definitely recommend by CHLOE, especially if you are looking for some vegan fast food or snacks to go.

Greenbacks For Black Belts
With companies such as Bank of America and FleetBoston as supporters of the Six Sigma concept, experts in the management philosophy have become a valued resource.
The use of Six Sigma quality methodologies is still relatively uncommon in business-technology operations. But the paychecks for technology pros with Six Sigma training suggest the demand is growing.
The average base salary for IT professionals with master black belts -- the highest level of Six Sigma training -- is $93,500, according to a recent study by Foote Partners, an IT workforce research and consulting firm that tracks 37,000 IT pros in its research database. The average base salary for the next-highest level, black belts, is $68,900.
In a broad definition, Six Sigma is a management philosophy aimed at continuous improvement to reduce errors or defects in processes or products. In business technology, some companies are trying to use Six Sigma to boost the quality and success of projects, software development and systems, says David Foote, president and chief research officer at Foote Partners. Borrowing from the martial arts, the Six Sigma system relates training and experience levels in Six Sigma to belts -- green, black, and master black.
FleetBoston Financial Corp. has been a big advocate of Six Sigma in IT and other areas. On its Web site, it advertised for a master black belt to help develop systems and technology as a basis for Six Sigma, identify projects for "breakthrough improvement" in business process or customer satisfaction, and train others in Six Sigma. The salary: $73,100 to $161,000 a year. It was posted before the merger with Bank of America Corp. was disclosed, though that bank also uses Six Sigma.
And a search of IT jobs with a Six Sigma requirement at Monster.com turns up this example from America Online: "The vision of the Business Process Engineering function is to act as the liaison between technical and business organizations helping to define, standardize, continuously improve, redesign, and reengineer business-critical processes to transform organizations to achieve higher productivity, quality, and a sustainable business growth."
Sounds like a big vision. No wonder that of the 238 master black belts in the Foote research, 34 percent earn base pay of $100,000 or more. Of the 623 black belts, about 10 percent earn base pay of $100,000 or more. The highest salary for master black belts hits $245,000, with the lowest $39,500. Geography and company size are the biggest factors in the range from high to low, Foote says.
In addition to the high demands, there also appears to be a relative shortage of certified IT black belts. The Foote study found just 861 -- 2 percent -- of the 37,000 IT pros in its database had black-belt status. It's less common in the United States than it is in Europe for the Six Sigma "belts" to be part of an IT professional's title, Foote says. So an individual with master black-belt training might be identified by title as a quality-assurance manager or a project manager. It's the total quality-management methodologies that the professional brings to the work that make the individual so valuable, Foote says.
Many managers aren't convinced the process rigor and continuous measurement and analysis associated with Six Sigma are the best fit for IT operations.
Six Sigma is most closely identified with manufacturing. The original quality-measurement and improvement plan was popularized in the late 1980s by Motorola Inc. and gained greater fame with its embrace by General Electric Co.
But these days, many non-manufacturing companies are applying Six Sigma to their businesses. For example, Foote says, a diversified financial services firm that's a Foote Research client is looking to hire 100 to 200 Six Sigma experts at salaries of $120,000 to $140,000. Says Foote, "Companies are bringing more rigor to improving the quality and success of their processes."

Injury Report Houston 1
by: Aaron Hansel
Injury Report for 2021 Houston 1 Supercross - Supercross
SCOTT SPORTS, Inc., established in 1958 and located in Sun Valley, Idaho, is a leading international manufacturer of premium bike accessories/equipment, running shoes, motosport and wintersport products.
The 2021 season of Monster Energy AMA Supercross kicks off this weekend in Houston. Check out this report for a look at who's racing, and who's sidelined with injury.
Max Anstie – BACK | OUT
Comment: Anstie will miss the opening rounds of supercross due to a lower back injury suffered while practicing. The team did not go into detail but had the following to say:
Twisted Tea Suzuki regrets to inform you team racer Max Anstie of Winchester, United Kingdom will miss the opening rounds of the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Series. A crash during his final practice day leading up to the Houston opener resulted in a lower back injury. Please wish Max well in his recovery and potentially see him back competing on the track as soon as Indianapolis.
Dylan Ferrandis – HAND | IN
Comment: Ferrandis broke his hand in early December while practicing. He's back on the bike, and when we checked with the team this week we were told he's good to go for Houston.
Shane McElrath – SHOULDER | TBD Out
Comment: McElrath suffered a separated shoulder roughly two weeks ago while practicing. At the time he said it was unlikely he'd race in Houston, but has since said he's planning on letting pain be his guide on whether or not he'll race this Saturday night. McElrath had the following to say in a pre-race press conference:
"Doctor G told me to let pain be my guide. I can deal with some pain but without much strength there that's the hard part. I'll be at the first round and we'll wait and see how I feel there and if I can do something," McElrath said on Monday.
[UPDATE: friday, january 15, 2021]
The SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda team announced on Instagram on Friday night that McElrath will be out for the opening round.
"Unfortunately, @shanemcelrath_ and @aaronmrozek will have to wait for their 450-class debut. A shoulder injury suffered in a practice crash has sidelined McElrath temporarily. Looking forward to his return!"
Henry Miller – WRIST | OUT
Comment: Miller dislocated his wrist and tore some wrist ligaments during the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. He's still healing up but plans to return to racing in Orlando.

If you are building or renovating your home, we recommend you follow the latest consumer guidelines approved by NZ Telcommunications Forum (TCF) in September 2015. The latest version of the Guidelines can be accessed on the TCF's website.
You can use your broadband service for a variety of activities like watching television content, making video calls, home automation, email and web browsing. We advice that you check your fibre readiness and get ultra fast fibre broadband to take advantage of all online services available. To understand more about the fibre installation process, check our article here.
Some equipment or services like medical or other monitored alarms require special connections with your network so they work properly. When placing an order for fibre, you should notify us if you have any such equipment so we can advice the installation technician to install the equipment to specification to work correctly. Please ensure that your equipment is fibre compatible.
How should you wire your home?
We recommend that you use a qualified installer to set up your home wiring and that you install only good quality equipment that is independently tested and certified. You should also ask your cable installer to provide a qualified test report confirming that the wiring has been installed correctly and that it will operate as expected.
Having all outlet positions in your home wiring connected directly back to a Home Distributor, via star distribution is the most flexible way of setting up your home. The Home Distributor may be located in a garage, a central cupboard or some other location. Inside the Home Distributor, a "patch panel" will have an RJ45 socket corresponding to each socket in each room in the house. Wiring in the house should be Cat6 cable, with 2 cables run to a pair of RJ45 sockets in each outlet position.
Cat6 cables are a high quality copper cable designed to deliver Ethernet-standard devices with performance to 250MHz to support 1Gb/sec Ethernet network, with a maximum allowed length of 100 meters.
RJ45 sockets are standard connectors on the end of computer (Ethernet) network cables.
Star wiring assembly allows wiring to be fed from a central point, usually in the home distributor with the cabling provided to RJ45 sockets in the room of the house.
Installing ducting when building or renovating your home can be a good way of preparing for future upgrades and services. Once ducting is installed, completing an upgrade can be as simple as feeding a new cable along it.
The connection between your home and the street is called the "lead-in". This is owned by one of the Local fibre companies (LFCs). The LFC install an External Termination Point (ETP) outside your building. The lead-in cable will then enter your home and be terminated in the home distributor.
If you're building a new home, you should talk to the LFC to understand their specific requirements for your home lead-in to make sure the ducting or trench requirements are positioned correctly and are of correct dimensions. You may additionally also require consents to have fibre installed if you live down a Right of Way or have a shared building. Refer to our section to check the consents process for fibre installation.
Fibre is terminated on the ONT in your home distributor which is then connected to our home gateway to provide our network. You can then connect a router to provide Wi-Fi throughout your house. A list of routers provided by MyRepublic is available here. We also provide voice services and can retain your existing number. Refer to our section for getting voice services here.
Can I schedule weekend or evening installations?

SINGER JESSICA SIMPSONS SECRET DIET PLAN
Jessica Simpson was allowed to keep the personal trainer she shared with on/off boyfriend John Mayer after they split.The 'Dukes of Hazard' star was introduced to trainer Harley Pasternak by the country singer just over two months ago, and while she is no longer seeing Mayer, Jessica is still working out with Pasternak.The singer-and-actress is said to have dropped at least two dress sizes and lost almost 20lbs in eight weeks. Pasternak told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I don't use a tape measure or the scales. Weighing and measuring don't create a lifestyle change. It is always defeating if you've been doing a lot of exercise, then you step on the scale and you're no lighter. It should be about how you look and how you feel."The exercise sessions can be as short as 25 minutes or as long as 55 minutes."Jessica visits the trainer five times a week and her routine includes step-ups, side bends, crunches, dumbbell rows and the occasional use of an exercise ball. She is also on Pasternak's '5 Factor Diet', also favoured by other celebrities including Vanessa Williams, Katherine Heigl and Eva Mendes. He said: "It is very simple and not at all wacky or controversial."I am the voice of moderation and there is no carb or calorie-cutting. It is very sustainable and painless."Jessica, 26, is allowed one day off when she can eat anything she likes, but Pasternak claims his regime means she won't be tempted to use these days to binge on fast food. He said: "The plan promotes an entire lifestyle change. After a while my clients get sick if they splurge on unhealthy foods."Jessica Simpson Typical Diet Day: Breakfast: Scrambled egg with toast and grapefruit. Coffee with Splenda. Snack 1: One cup of fat-free ricotta cheese and two cored pears, cut into wedges. Diet soda. Lunch: Chicken breast sandwich with mustard and a side of black beans. Diet Snapple. Snack 2: Carrot sticks with onion dip made from non-fat sour cream, non-fat cream cheese and one tablespoon dry onion soup mix. Dinner: Indian-style chicken breasts with curried yogurt sauce (made from non-fat plain yogurt, one teaspoon of curry powder and peeled cucumber) served with brown rice. Green tea.

NEW SHOW: GCB
This one has been a long time coming! I feel as if America has been waiting for this show to actually debut for the better part of a year at this point! Not to say that it's any good, but I didn't hate it, either. So much to say about this pilot episode... let's start with the fact that the writers included a LOT of background! So many characters (and their spouses!) and so many events (both now and twenty years ago) makes it difficult to keep things straight... so let's hope that the next few episodes give us a chance to catch our breath and not expect us to remember what everyone does for a living and what their full names are! Oh, and the sheer size of the cast befuddled me... does anyone else find it bothersome that Kristin Chenoweth has practically been the ONLY face for this show and she's not even the main character?? Speaking of the main character, did it strike you that Ponzi schemes are showing up more often lately? Sure, Amanda wasn't involved, but it was a Ponzi scheme that got the show on the road... much like how one was part of the premise that brought together the characters on Melissa & Joey. Ahhh, and even more with the repeated story ideas everywhere - what's with all of the revenge on television in this day and age?? Anyway, let's just get started on the actual episode...
GCB "Pilot" (S01E01): In Santa Barbara, California, Amanda's husband, Bill, is with her best friend, speeding away in a sportscar along a coastline with millions of dollars. She decides to orally pleasure him and they end up veering off the road; the crash kills them both. Three months later, it's revealed that the money was from a Ponzi scheme, leaving Amanda with a meager amount to raise her two children, Laura and Will. She wants to leave the area for a fresh start, so she reluctantly heads to her hometown upon her lawyer's suggestion. Upon her arrival in a Dallas suburb where everyone seems to know everyone, a group of ladies is already talking about "the bully" being back in town. See, across the street from Amanda's mother lives Carlene, who quickly calls Sharon, Cricket, and Heather about the situation. [I love the idea that the group of fortysomething ladies calls one another 24/7 to discuss the latest gossip.]
We're then introduced to Amanda's mother, who prefers to go by Gigi, especially around her grandchildren. Gigi believes that the internet is for p0rn, though she does decide to get it for the children. [I'm intrigued to find out where the family money comes from...] She's not making Amanda very happy, what with teaching Will to mix cocktails, giving Laura a push-up bra, and telling the kids about Amanda's "mean girl" days. [the first two I could chalk up to the south, but who would tell teens that their mother was an awful person in high school??] Amanda's also not thrilled that Gigi demands the entire family attends church. [though I imagine she could have seen that coming... I wonder if we'll get flashbacks in future episodes?] There, Amanda meets a whole bunch of folks from her younger days, though not everyone is thrilled to see her - Carlene, for instance, refers to her as the Prodigal Daughter. ["Amazing Grace" as a ringtone? really?]
Amanda doesn't know much about working, but figures that she could be an interior designer, as she's had a few classes in that. [um, do you not need a license for that in Texas? Because I know some states require one!] An old pal gets her some interviews but they don't go well, as one of the ladies is pulling favors all over town to keep Amanda from being hired. [revenge, got it.] On the bright side, Heather, a realtor, helps her find a place to live. Amanda isn't thrilled with the houses she's being shown, so she looks some things up online and then confronts Heather about the situation. [at least she's not a pushover! though I wouldn't really expect her to be, either.] It smooths over well, as Amanda apologizes for the past, and it looks like Heather may even begin to believe Amanda. Unfortunately, this is when the rest of the girls show up with a gift basket. [that largest gift basket I have EVER seen! and it contains some very strange items...]
(ABC/BILL MATLOCK)
The girls are really there to find out what's going on with the expensive car (that is from Sharon's husband's dealership) and nearly $100,000 of stuff from Neiman Marcus that has anonymously shown up at Amanda's door. Amanda doesn't know, but that's not good enough for Carlene, who lifts the gift card (Amanda sent all of the gifts back) and makes Sharon go into the store for more information. [so... Carlene is totally running the show around here...] However, the store wants ID, so Sharon runs out and Amanda is called in, to make sure foul play wasn't at hand. Amanda lets it go. [part of me was surprised, but part of me thought she just needs to play everything cool right now.] Later, Amanda's mother admits to sending her everything. [hmm. didn't suspect that!]
Desperate for work, Amanda applies at a bar (even though it's implied that she's a recovering alcoholic) which would require her to wear a revealing uniform. [odd.] It doesn't take long before this news is all over town, and the ladies confront Amanda at a big town event/ball. [which, I thought, was made out to be a much bigger deal than it actually appeared.] Amanda apologizes to Cricket for the wrongs she committed years ago, but not a single apologetic word is directed toward Carlene. A week has passed by now, and in church, Amanda stands up to announce that she's thankful for her job at a bar owned by Carlene's corporation. [hahaha!]

It's wedding time. I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE ANOTHER SISTER!! I really couldn't be more excited to celebrate the marriage of Ben, my Brother-In-Law and Carrie, his soon to be new wife in beautiful Yosemite California, this weekend. I've got a few jobs carrying out the decorations for the wedding, so I'm excited to help how I can. But more importantly, I am unbelievably happy for the two of them.
In honor of the occasionI I wanted to celebrate in a dress that was classy, but unique. So, I found this dress from Nordstrom and these shoes from Nordstrom Rack. I hope you have a great weekend. I'm hoping we get to explore and see all the beauty that Yosemite has to offer.

Live update: Thursday will be the last day of the warming trend, get ready for a very windy Friday
by: Todd Warren
Live weather update Wednesday 8:30 pm:
Wednesday was a sunny and warmer day around the ArkLaTex. Sunshine combined with a southwesterly wind to warm temperatures into the upper 50s to lower 60s. We will likely see even warmer temperatures Thursday ahead of a cold front that will race through the area late Thursday. This front likely will not bring much as far as rain but could bring a few clouds.
CLICK HERE to see more forecasts from Futurecast.
Temperatures Thursday morning will begin in the upper 30s to lower 40s. A southwesterly wind ahead of the front will combine with sunshine to warm temperatures into the low to middle 60s Thursday afternoon.
