First the winning part of the post, the drink station. One of my favorite things about the holiday season is hosting family and friends. I always have a drink station set up that way people can easily help themselves to a beverage while I finish up preparing the meal. It just takes the pressure off of having everything done by the time guests arrive. I feel at ease if there are appetizers out and drinks readily available.
I like to make it look pretty too, I talked about how helpful trays are in doing that here. They coral everything in a beautiful way.
For Christmas I cleared out our glass cabinet in the kitchen and filled it with all the makings for a hot cocoa bar, as well as extra glasses and mugs. It has come in handy for parties and drop in guests, I highly recommend designating a spot for a hot cocoa station. Not to mention my kids favorite spot in the kitchen.
Then right below it, if we are entertaining, I set up the cold drink station. I set out glasses, different beverages, and I fill up a ice bucket. This bucket is the best, if I forget to empty it after the party, there's still perfectly formed ice the next morning.
Here's a few beautiful trays and pitchers to get you started on your own station. DYING over that marble and gold one, and it's on sale-Merry Christmas to me.
I was hoping to share with you these easy and beautiful DIY ice votives. I saw a version of these on Pinterest and thought I'd recreate them. Well….they were easy and beautiful to make BUT they melted at such a rapid rate I can't recommend you making them. It was an instant flood all over my beautiful drink station. I was snapping so fast just to try and catch some pics before they were all gone. They were beautiful while the lasted.
Here they are glistening and looking so pretty….AND melting and melting and melting. Years ago I did a champagne bucket version and they lasted the whole party. If you attempt these you have to do them in a bucket so the ice is nice and thick and will last. I also think the hot burning candle in the middle didn't really help to preserve them either. Well live and learn! And if anything I'm hoping to save you from the same dripping wet experience I had. Just goes to show some of those gorgeous images on Pinterest aren't always the most practical.
Have a beautiful week, I can't believe Christmas is 4 days away!
Ps-Need some help pulling a room together, maybe a Christmas present to yourself? Go here to see if I Can help.

John Montague (28 February 1929 − 10 December 2016) was an Irish poet. Born in America, he was raised in Ireland. He published a number of volumes of poetry, two collections of short stories and two volumes of memoir. He was one of the best known Irish contemporary poets. In 1998 he became the first occupant of the Ireland Chair of Poetry (essentially Ireland's poet laureate). In 2010, he was made a Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur, France's highest civil award.

Early life

John Montague was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, on 28 February 1929. His father, James Montague, an Ulster Catholic, from County Tyrone, had gone to America in 1925 to join his brother John. Both were sons of John Montague, who had been a JP, combining his legal duties with being a schoolmaster, farmer, postmaster and director of several firms.

John continued as postmaster but James became involved in the turbulent Irish Republican scene in the years after 1916, particularly complicated in areas like Fermanagh and Tyrone, on the borders of the newly divided island.

Molly (Carney) Montague joined her husband James in America in 1928, with their two elder sons. John was born on Bushwick Avenue at St. Catherine's Hospital, and spent his earliest years playing with his brothers in the streets of Brooklyn, putting nickels on the trolley lines, playing on a tenement roof, seeing early Mickey Mouse movies.

Return to Garvaghey
Although the uncle John ran a speakeasy, where he employed his brother James, life in New York was difficult during the Great Depression, so the three boys were shipped back to Ireland in 1933, the two eldest to their maternal grandmother's house in Fintona, County Tyrone, where they had been born, but John was sent to his father's ancestral home at Garvaghey, then maintained by two spinster aunts, Brigid and Freda, who welcomed the boy of four.

From New York to a farm on the edge of the Clogher Valley in County Tyrone was a significant step backwards in time. John did all the usual farming chores. He became a normal Ulster farm child, though haunted by the disparity between what the house in Garvaghey had been, in the days of his grandfather and namesake, and the reduced present. Montague reminisced about the gardens of his Ulster home in his poem, "Paths".

John went first to Garvaghey School and then to Glencull, three miles away, where he was coached by a young and ardent master. Scholarships brought him to St. Patrick's College, Armagh, the junior diocesan seminary and the place where his Jesuit uncle, Thomas Montague, had gone.

Education
John Montague studied at University College Dublin in 1946. He found an extraordinary contrast between the Ulster of the war years and post-war Dublin, where the atmosphere was introverted and melancholy. Stirred by the example of other student poets (including Thomas Kinsella) he began to publish his first poems in The Dublin Magazine, Envoy, and The Bell, edited by Peadar O'Donnell. But the atmosphere in Dublin was still constrained and Montague left for Yale on a Fulbright Fellowship in 1953.

John had already met Saul Bellow at the Salzburg Seminar in American Studies and now he worked with Robert Penn Warren as well as auditing the classes of several Yale critics, like Rene Wellek and W. K. Wimsatt. He extended his sense of contemporary American literature, attending Indiana Summer School of Letters where he heard Richard Wilbur, Leslie Fiedler, and John Crowe Ransom, who like the Irish poet Austin Clarke, encouraged Montague, finding him a job at the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1954 and 1955.

Middle years: 1950s and 1960s

From Iowa to Berkeley, a year of graduate school convinced Montague that he should return to Ireland. He sailed back to France that summer, to marry his first wife, Madeleine, whom he had met in Iowa, where she was also on a Fulbright; they settled in Herbert Street, Dublin, a few doors down from Brendan Behan. Working by day at the Irish Tourist Office, Montague at last gathered his first book of poems, Poisoned Lands (1961).

That year he also moved to Paris, to a small studio a block away from Samuel Beckett, with whom he slowly became on good drinking terms. There, he also met another neighbour, the French poet Claude Esteban, with whom he became friends – Montague later translated into English and published some of his poems.

A regular rhythm of publication saw the appearance of his first book of stories, Death of a Chieftain (1964), after which the musical group The Chieftains were named, and his second and third books of poems, A Chosen Light (1967) and Tides (1970), the latter both also published by Swallow in the U.S.

All during the 1960s, Montague continued to work on his long poem, The Rough Field, a task that coincided with the outbreak of the Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland.

A Patriotic Suite appeared in 1966, Hymn to the New Omagh Road and The Bread God in 1968, and A New Siege, dedicated to Bernadette Devlin which he read outside Armagh Jail in 1970. In 1972, the long poem was finally published by Dolmen/Oxford and Montague returned to Ireland, to live and teach in University College Cork, at the request of his friend, the composer Seán Ó Riada. His students at UCC during the 1970s included a number of writers, sometimes collectively referred to as "the Cork poets", that included Gregory O'Donoghue, Sean Dunne, Thomas McCarthy, William Wall, Maurice Riordan, Gerry Murphy, Greg Delanty and Theo Dorgan. In a birthday tribute for his 80th, William Wall wrote: "It would be impossible to overestimate his influence on the young writers who went to UCC (University College Cork) at that time." The Rough Field (1972) was slowly recognised as a major achievement.

Later years: 1974–2016
Settled in Cork with his second wife, Evelyn Robson, Montague published an anthology, The Faber Book of Irish Verse (1974) with a book of lyrics, A Slow Dance (1975). Recognition was now beginning to come, with the award of the Irish American Cultural Institute in 1976, the first Marten Toonder Award in 1977, and in 1978, the Alice Hunt Bartlett Award for The Great Cloak, "the best book of poetry in two years" according to the Poetry Society of Great Britain. A Guggenheim in 1979 and 1980 enabled Montague to complete his Selected Poems (1982) and his second long poem, The Dead Kingdom (1984) both co-published by Dolmen (Ireland), Oxford (England), Wake Forest University Press (US) and Exile Editions (Canada).

In 1987, Montague was awarded an honorary doctor of letters by the State University of New York at Buffalo. Governor Mario M. Cuomo presented Montague a citation in 1987 "for his outstanding literary achievements and his contributions to the people of New York." Montague served as distinguished writer-in-residence for the New York State Writers Institute during each spring semester, teaching workshops in fiction and poetry and a class in the English Department of the University of Albany.

In 1995, Montague and his second wife, Evelyn, separated, and he formed a partnership with American student Elizabeth Wassell (later to be author of The Honey Plain (1997)). He has 2 daughters with Evelyn, Sibyl and Oonagh.

In 1998, Montague was named the first Irish professor of poetry, a three-year appointment to be divided among The Queen's University in Belfast, Trinity College Dublin, and University College Dublin.  He held this title from 1998 to 2001, when he was succeeded by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. In 2008, he published A Ball of Fire, a collection of all his fiction including the short novella The Lost Notebook.

Death
Montague died at the age of 87 in Nice on 10 December 2016 after complications from a recent surgery. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Wassell, daughters Oonagh and Sibyl and grandchildren Eve and Theo.

Style
Montague's poems chart boyhood, schooldays, love and relationships. Family and personal history and Ireland's history are also prominent themes in his poetry.

Montague is noted for his vowel harmonies, his use of assonance and echo, and his handling of the line and line break. Montague believed that a poem appears with its own rhythm and that rhythm and line lengths should be based on living speech.

Awards and honours
John Montague was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from the University of Ulster, Coleraine on 29 June 2009. In 2000, Montague was awarded The Vincent Buckley Poetry Prize. He was made Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur in 2010 and also received an honorary doctorate from the Sorbonne. In 2016, he received the Bob Hughes Lifetime Achievement Award of the Irish Book Awards.</ref>

At first, the horse was the prerogative of only new settlers and no one, not even the friendliest Indians and their leaders, was allowed to approach it. Until 1528, a royal decree was generally in effect, forbidding them to mount a horse. But time passed. The horses began to steal or beat in battle. Sometimes, when entire colonial settlements were slaughtered, the horses panicked into the forest. Soon the Indians mastered horse riding and firearms. Light, fast and elusive Indian cavalry gradually became a real threat not only to peaceful white settlers, but also to units of the regular army. After all, the horse completely changed the life of the local tribes. Pedestrian Indian felt small, lonely and defenseless in front of the greatness of a huge continent. Hunting for powerful buffalo was difficult and dangerous. Most often, their herds were trying to adjust to a cliff or to lurk at a watering place. But now, using the horse, killing the buffalo was no longer difficult. Not to mention the ability to quickly move around the country. In addition, the horse allowed to carry much larger loads than the tamed dogs.
In the meantime, the horses running away into the woods grew wild and bred, growing up on free pastures. So there were the famous wild horses of North America – the mustangs, from the Spanish "placene" – a free horse, or a horse without a rider.
Of course, they did not have that delightful article of European breeds, but they were much stronger, tougher, and most importantly – unpretentious. They began to catch and tame as the Indians and white settlers.
It is not surprising that many of the current horse breeds in the USA carry in their veins the blood of mustangs. Gradually, the number of these wild herds became so significant that they turned into a real hindrance to cow pastures and maize. And they began to shoot. Beautiful animals that were considered the pride of America were exterminated by thousands. It is good that there were enthusiasts who forced the US government to issue a special law banning barbarous hunting.
So, the more important in the life of new settlers and Indian tribes acquired a horse, the more weight gained deft, strong and skillful riders. And with the increase in pastoral farms, the shepherd profession became increasingly in demand. Although in many countries they were not just shepherds, but people with special human qualities. For example, "charro" in Mexico is not so much a profession as a lifestyle. But most importantly, they were unsurpassed riders. So during the war with the French, the "charro" managed to gallop on lasso on enemy guns and turn them over. No less skillful were the Argentine Gauchos, the Chilean Guacos, the Colombian-Venezuelan Llaneros, or the Brazilian Senanetju. But back to our cowboys.
Their finest hour began in the second half of the XIX century. It was the time of the Frontier, the expansion of the territories of the Wild West, the conquest of the prairies, the extermination of bison, the robbery and looting of trains and banks, the wars with the Indians and the Civil War. With its completion in 1865, thousands of fighters were to return to their homes. But what were these young people able to do? Sit in the saddle, handle arms, bravely and enduringly enduring adversity? But how could these qualities be claimed in peacetime, and where? Not to mention the fact that many of them were orphans, and their homes were destroyed during the war. Among them were many negroes freed from slavery — homeless in general, or Mexicans — who did not want to return to their homeland.
Some of them were hired to work for livestock producers and ranches. Those. became cowboys. It was a hard and routine job. For a scanty fee, they had to go around the territory every day, repair the fence, graze and water the cattle, find a cow strayed from the herd, or treat it for illness, brand the young and do much more. And in the winter, it happened that only for food and shelter. Therefore, it was easy to get a job at the ranch. After all, the West did not have enough hands. Everyone was welcome here, not delving into the vicissitudes of his past life. And if in big cities there was a danger that they would find you, identify or arrest you, then here, in the wilderness, it was completely safe. And because of this, many outspoken thugs, thieves, and adventurers took refuge in this environment from persecution. Although at that time this was not treated as severely as later. In many places they were even chosen by the sheriffs, believing that only such people – cruel and desperate, are able to curb the overreaching hooligans. This went on for decades.

The original poetry shared in this "personal journal" is a collection of the author's idiosyncratic reflections, ruminations, and soul-searching thoughts---her personal observations of life. Each poem has a "theme" or subject, as noted in the titles, with some Christian themes. The author calls them "slices of life," to be enjoyed as the mood dictates. It is hoped that the reader will both enjoy and relate to these poetic expressions.

On 24 May 2016, the Assistant Director of the JAPCC, Air Commodore Madeleine Spit signed the Appointment Letter officially confirming the designation of the JAPCC as Department Head (DH) for 'Space Support to NATO Operations'.1 For our Centre of Excellence, this means assuming a leading role with significant responsibilities in ensuring the provision of both individual and collective Education and Training (E&T) for NATO personnel in the field of 'Space'. The assignment is a big achievement and the beginning of an exciting job with many tasks implied.
According to the NATO Education, Training, Exercises and Evaluation (ETEE) Policy MC 0458/3, the DH 'supports Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation's (SACT) responsibility for translating NATO E&T requirements into solutions for the individual and collective training spectrum'.2 In particular, the DH assembles a discipline-specific E&T program and is responsible for the coordination of the solutions. Obviously, this is just a general definition, which does not capture the particular duties of a DH to achieve effective and efficient E&T in NATO. This article will, therefore, provide a more detailed description of the current NATO ETEE policy and guidance, including the concept of Global Programming (GP) for E&T, and explain what this actually means for the work of a DH for Space.
Headquarters as well as units within NCS or NFS consist of many positions requiring dedicated, specialised personnel to effectively fulfil their duties. As a matter of principle, NATO expects the Nations to send fully qualified individuals to those jobs. The general obligations for prior national training are set by a framework of agreed standards,4 e.g. the Allied Command Operations (ACO) Force Standards (AFS). For individual positions within the NCS/NFS, specific job descriptions provide the definite requirements. During the first six months on their job, personnel should receive additional NATO training to lift them to the specific Depth of Knowledge (DoK) required for the position.
The overall NATO E&T management is based on Global Programming (GP), which was established in 2012. This new approach came about as a result of national observations in 2006, which concluded the NATO E&T system was not working adequately. In 2009 an independent consultant listed 116 recommendations on NATO E&T, accentuating insufficient coordination and oversight, wasteful creation of unnecessary courses, progressive loss of the link between requirements and solutions, inefficient duplication of solutions and inadequate verification of the fulfilment of requirements. In particular, according to the report, the overall strategic picture and management framework was inadequate.6 GP is SACT's response to achieve a collaborative, unified NATO effort for developing effective, efficient, and affordable E&T solutions. As laid down in detail in the Bi-Strategic Command Directive 072-002 (E&T Directive),7 GP introduces a holistic, structured and strictly requirements-based approach to NATO E&T management which clearly separates the responsibilities for both E&T providers and clients. In short, GP aims to convert broad political and military requirements into specific E&T requirements and find, or otherwise develop solutions to meet those requirements (Figure 1).
For ease of management, requirements are grouped and categorised into disciplines as per the Bi-SC List of Disciplines8 in Figure 2. The whole set of disciplines is meant to cover all NATO E&T requirements and is to be reviewed annually.
GP basically consists of three distinct but interrelated components: Governance Structure, Development Methodology, and Production Planning Process, which are further explained in the sections below.
The HQ SACT Deputy Chief of Staff Joint Force Trainer (DCOS JFT) – on behalf of SACT – is responsible for the direction and coordination of the whole E&T spectrum. It sets the Governance Framework, updates the relevant documents and coordinates between all disciplines and within one discipline. For each discipline, JFT is supported by a Requirements Authority (RA) and a Department Head (DH) as illustrated in Figure 3.
For each discipline, the appointed RA represents the interests of the end user. For this reason, it is considered the specific operational authority and it is usually chosen within Allied Command Operations (ACO/SHAPE).
Within the specific discipline, the RA is to lead the identification of individual and collective E&T requirements by compiling, defining, and prioritizing these requirements within the range of available political-military guidance. Moreover, the RA provides inputs concerning changes to relevant NATO documents, doctrines, policy, and procedures. In particular, the RA ensures specific direction is contained with SACEURs Annual Guidance for ETEE (SAGE), as necessary.
The RA for Space is SHAPE ACOS J3.
The DH is a volunteer organization with specific experience in a particular discipline and in E&T. It coordinates, under DCOS JFT guidance, identification and development of effective, efficient, and affordable E&T solutions for the requirements provided by the RA.
To this purpose, the DH is to collaborate and coordinate the definition as well as delivery of E&T solutions with designated facilities both inside and outside the military to include NATO's own facilities and national providers.
The DH for Space is the JAPCC (C4ISR+Space Branch. Space Section).
During the subsequent steps of the Development Methodology, the JFT, RA, and DH identify and refine E&T requirements resulting in the definition and delivery of individual and collective training solutions. Embedded within the Development Methodology are the means for sustaining E&T requirements and the associated solutions over time.
For each discipline, all identified E&T requirements deriving from tactical, operational, military-strategic, and political-strategic level tasks, are collected in a Strategic Training Plan (STP). This first step is completed by DCOS JFT, mainly supported by the RA.
Based on the STP, a Training Requirements Analysis (TRA) is conducted to capture all NATO E&T requirements, to compare them with available E&T existing solutions, and to detect gaps or overlaps. The results are published in a separate report. JFT, in close coordination with the RA and DH, is responsible for this step.
E&T gaps highlighted in the TRA-Report are addressed by the DH through one or more TNA turns. Every TNA is conducted in close coordination with E&T providers and all relevant stakeholders. It applies the 'System Approach to Training' methodology, an iterative and interactive process to define, develop, and implement effective, efficient, and affordable solutions. The TNA process is started by the DH, but it requires a close coordination among JFT, DH, RA and the Education and Training Facilities.
At least once a year, an Annual Discipline Conference is organized and conducted by the DH, on behalf of HQ SACT/DCOS JFT, to review all E&T activities associated within a discipline. The objective of the ADC is to ensure E&T remains aligned with evolving needs, available technology and resources and to determine the way ahead. The results of this conference, including the plan for the follow-up actions, are published in the Discipline Alignment Plan.
Department Head – Why the JAPCC?
Centres of Excellence (COEs) are international military organizations – nationally or multi-nationally funded – that offer recognised expertise and experience as well as independent research and analysis in support of the Alliance in a particular military domain. They have an active role in developing doctrine, identifying lessons learned, improving interoperability and capabilities, and testing and validating concepts through experimentation. Moreover, COEs participate in a multitude of NATO and multinational or national committees, working groups and forums, giving them the opportunity to develop and engage with a broad network of experts, which may reach into the E&T domain. Furthermore, in their significant role supporting the transformation of NATO, COEs have a close relation with SACT and a dedicated interest in providing expert advice in specific training matters. Independence of thought, networking capabilities, knowledge of the matter, and strong connection with HQ SACT are the characteristics that make COEs ideal candidates for the role of DH.
Within NATO, there is no specific COE for Space. However, the JAPCC, being NATO-accredited COE since 2005, holds a section of three dedicated Space experts inside its 'Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Space' (C4ISR+S) Branch. For NATO, therefore, it was a logical decision to appoint the JAPCC as the DH for Space Support to Operations.
Currently there are very few opportunities in NATO for individual E&T in Space matters. The NATO School in Oberammergau (NSO) offers an 'Introduction to Space Support to NATO Operations' course twice a year. The only additional opportunity is delivered through the 'JFAC Space Cell Course' held at the French-hosted COE 'Analysis and Simulation Centre for Air Operations' (CASPOA). Moreover, the German Bundeswehr Command and Staff College offers a one-week basic course for the military use of Space capabilities, open for all NATO staff officers. By consequence, there is still a huge need for Space instruction, especially for advanced individual E&T. For this reason, a request for information has been recently issued to the allied nations, to explore the possibility to accredit more national E&T opportunities for NATO participants.
In addition, Collective Training and Exercises requires some improvement. In the last two years, the NATO Bi-SC Space Working Group have pushed hard to include more Space-related training into major NATO exercises. In particular, for Trident Juncture 2016, Space SMEs have taken part in the exercise scripting from the early stage, thus ensuring a stronger influence in the training objectives. The TRA Report shows there is still margin for further enhancements, mainly in the direction of a deeper integration of Space-related objectives; the process, however, seems on the right track.
In summary, bringing E&T for the 'Space Support to Operations' discipline to a satisfactory level is a big challenge and there is still much to do. The latest TRA Report identified several E&T gaps, which the DH has to close in order to improve the individual and collective E&T spectrum.
In this situation, the Allies can contribute in broadening the variety of Space E&T solutions by opening their Space-related courses to NATO personnel. The DH at JAPCC welcomes course offerings within the wide spectrum of Space from all over NATO and partner nations, military schools and academia as well as civil institutes for exploring more E&T possibilities.

Justify Wins Derby, NBA Weekend Playoff Update
May 07th, 2018 | Category: Horse Racing,nba
The 144th running of the Kentucky Derby was the wettest Derby in memory. The track was officially listed as "sloppy", but if you were watching, it looked even worse, which made betting on the 20 horse field a bit more difficult. Justify, however, did not seem to have any issues as he ran a beautiful race to the finish. Justify, trained by Bob Buffett, became the first horse in 136 years to accomplish the feat of winning the Derby while not having run a race as a 2 year old. As Baffert said about him, "I've seen all kinds, I mean this guy, he's just special. He has that presence about him."
After the 76ers lost on Saturday night in overtime 98-101, the Boston Celtics have a commanding 3-0 lead. Philadelphia's Joel Embiid said, "We made a couple of dumb mistakes. It's on us". The Sixers will try and prevent a series sweep with game 4 on Monday night.
LeBron is unstoppable! With a last second buzzer beater in game 3 (you need to see it to believe it) over Toronto, the Raptors are now down 0-3 in the series and will need to claw their way back on Monday night in game 4. James described the difficult one-handed shot by saying he has the "ability to have different things in my toolbox." Cavaliers 105, Raptors 103.
The Warriors dominant win over the New Orleans Pelicans, thanks to Kevin Durant's 38 points, could be due to a late night/early morning text from Draymond Green. Green was so upset by the Warriors loss to the Pelicans in game 3, he sent a text at 4:00 am to Durant telling him he had to step up. When Durant woke up, he said, "Got it" and went out and played with inspiration. Steph Curry also had a big day and moved into third place in postseason 3 pointers with 326. Ray Allen holds the record with 385 and LeBron is in 2nd place with 346. Golden State leads the series 3-1.
Chris Paul knows how to celebrate his birthday as he went out and scored 27 points and recorded 12 rebounds to help the Rockets win game 4 over the Utah Jazz. The Rockets are now up 3-1 in the series. Houston 100, Utah 87.


As with many ranch-style homes of the mid 20th century the layout of this home was pretty confining. During the initial walk through with the client, we assessed the potential for opening up the floor plan in order to unify the kitchen and main living space. Another goal was to bring more natural light into the space, and all within budgetary constraints. This was accomplished by transferring loads onto beams, removing interior walls, and adding full-width sliding glass doors.
Finish treatments to exposed beams were made to go along with the updated lighting. Installation of engineered hardwoods on both the floors and accent walls helped create cleaner yet cozy space. Though ranch homes are known and desired for their simplistic and unpretentious nature, we set out to create a much more modern and relaxing feel to this once cramped, dimly lit space. All parties seem to agree, mission accomplished.

Lindsay Lohan Tried to Say 'You're Beautiful' in Arabic. She Said 'You're a Donkey' Instead.
Lindsay Lohan tried to post "You're beautiful" in Arabic on Instagram but accidently wrote, "You're a donkey." She's hardly the first idiot to try to go deep and get ruined by human error—we are all Lindsay Lohans now.
Lindsay Lohan thinks you're beautiful. Or that you're a donkey. It really depends.
Earlier today, the former It Girl logged on to Instagram and posted an image of bold text against a floral pattern reminiscent of your Granny's favorite wallpaper.
Of course, it's safe to assume that Lindsay's message is a simple mistranslation error and not a coded barnyard callout.
My personal favorite is poor Hayden Panettiere and her back tattoo. She wanted "live without regrets" but unfortunately, mangled the translation and ended up with one 'I' too many. At the time of her inking, she laughed off the mistake, citing her motto of living without regrets. She has reportedly gotten it fixed now.
I can't blame her, but I almost wish she hadn't—there's something delightful about regretting the typo in your "no regrets" tattoo, something appealingly human about attempting to go deep and profound—and being rendered goofy by spelling. Who hasn't been there? We are, as people, capable of great truth and stupidity, of being both beautiful and total donkeys. We are all Lindsay Lohan's Instagram fails now.

The best part about these recliners is that there are numerous various angles that can be attained with it. You can stay up and see TELEVISION while you rock then choose to go complete recline.

I was flipping through my photo album of hunting pictures recently as I often do as I await the arrival of opening day. It's become somewhat of a ritual that seems to help inspire and excite for the soon-coming days of hunting season. In that album are photos of my first deer, my first deer with a bow, first turkey, bear, elk, antelope, and others. Whether it's a photo of me clutching the antlers of a buck or a limit of ducks, the images immediately take me back to the day it all went down. I can't help but smile when I think about the victory that took place on that day when everything went right and success was mine. But there is one photo in particular that brings a flood of emotions like no other. It is a photo I snapped of a crimson colored path that led to an October buck that had found my arrow on a frosty Tennessee morning. The mere sight of that bloodtrail changed everything on that morning. Doubts were replaced by confidence. The low had escalated to a high. A good bloodtrail is the sign of victory…and on that day, victory was mine.
Because of the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross, we have hope, we have peace, we are redeemed, we have life. Death brought life…thank you Jesus for the blood!


Nothing is more important in a criminal case than obtaining a quick bail. If you, your friend or family member is charged, we may be able to negotiate with the police to secure your release from the police station without the need to have a bail hearing. There are some cases where the police will require a bail hearing upon arrest rather than a releasing the accused person. Our primary objective at a bail hearing is to ensure that our clients get out of jail so that they can go on with their lives and jobs while waiting before their cases go to trial. In many cases, we are able to negotiate with the prosecutors ahead of time to obtain bail on reasonable terms. This strategy ensures that the client's liberty is minimally restricted and removes the potential that his clients may be denied bail by the J.P or the Judge.
A poorly conducted bail hearing could have disastrous consequences for the average person. It could result in weeks or even months spent in jail without ever having been convicted of a criminal offence. Even if you are fortunate enough to be released from custody, Ranbir Thind can ensure that the bail restrictions imposed by the judge are lawful and reasonable so that your bail does not unduly interfere with your right to work, travel, or be with your family.
Does everyone charged with offence require a bail hearing?
For most criminal offences, the police have the choice to release a person charged with a criminal offence from jail without requiring a bail hearing. Police will generally hold a person for a bail hearing where they have concerns on one or more of the grounds such as accused's identity is not established, the accused may interfere with the evidence or witnesses, fear that accused will continue or repeat the offence or commit other offence and/or the accused may not show up for the Court or there is a prior history of revoking the bail or the person was already on bail at the time of arrest.
How does the Court (J.P or Judge) decide who to release on bail?
In determining whether or not an individual facing criminal charges should be released from jail, the Court must be satisfied that the accused person will attend their court dates, that there is not a substantial likelihood that the accused would commit further criminal offences while released on bail and that the community would not be offended by the person's release given the serious nature of the offences alleged and the strength of the prosecutor's case against the accused.
What is accused person required to do to in order to get bail?
At the bail hearing stage, the person charged may need the assistance of his or her friends or family members to come to court and act as sureties. A surety is somebody willing to supervise the accused person while released on bail and is responsible for ensuring that all of the conditions of the bail are being followed. In some instances, the accused person may be required to live with the surety and the surety will likely be required to pledge a monetary amount towards the bail. This monetary pledge ensures that the surety will properly supervise the accused person or risk losing their money should they fail to do so.
What can be mentioned at a bail hearing?
The prosecutor may present a wide range of information about the accused person and about the offense with which they are charged, including the prior criminal record and specific facts relating to the charges. As everyone in Canada is innocent until proven guilty, the public disclosure of the allegations against an accused person could significantly impact their right to a fair trial. In certain circumstances, the lawyer can request a publication ban on this information.
What are some possible conditions of release?
Some accused are released from custody after a bail hearing with relatively minor conditions while others are subjected to strict conditions if released on bail. These bail conditions dictate what an accused person can or cannot do while awaiting the outcome of their criminal case. These conditions of release may include a requirement to report to a police station on a regular basis, to remain away from a specific area or location (such as complainant's home or workplace), to maintain a curfew, to abstain from consumption of alcohol, to notify the peace officer of any change in address or employment or occupation, to abstain from communicating, directly or indirectly, with any victim, witness or other person identified in the order, or any other conditions that a judge imposes.
What happens if the accused is not granted bail?
In the event of a denial of bail, the accused will have to bring a special application to the Court of Queen's Bench to have his/her detention order reviewed by a higher level of Judge.
What happens if an accused is caught violating his bail conditions?
If an accused person is caught violating any condition of their bail, they may be arrested, charged and brought back to court for another bail hearing. In some cases, the court may revoke the previous bail order or impose more stringent conditions if the Judge grants a subsequent release on a new bail.


Change of use to short let accommodation (Use Class C1). Erection of 2no. glass canopies over the existing stair wells, restoration of the existing railings to create 2 x 1-bed suites.
It would have been helpful if the glazed entrances ('glass canopies') to the former public conveniences now planned were more clearly illustrated, given English Heritage's comments on the sensitivity and importance of this location in St Giles. Assessment of the impact of these proposals is difficult in view of the inadequacy of the representations.

The new economic development bill passed by the state legislature over the summer will allow for the sale of vineyard wines at local farmers' markets, a positive step in the promotion of agriculture and the marketing for sale of Massachusetts products.
Massachusetts wineries can now set up and sell locally produced wines alongside other agricultural products. Farmers' markets can now apply for a liquor license from the city or town they are operating in and enforce underage drinking laws, just as any restaurant, bar, or package store would.
Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation Executive Director Doug Gillespie was quoted as saying that the new law opens markets to a growing industry.
The wine industry sees opportunities as a result of the legislation. "Farm wineries will see a tremendous benefit by having a new sales opportunity for our local products," said Kip Kumler from the Massachusetts and Growers Association, and owner of Turtle Creek Winery in Lincoln.

Deposit Return Coffee cups in Dublin City
Dublin City Council in collaboration with Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin and 2GoCup Ltd. launched the pilot Co-Cup Deposit and Return Scheme in the City Council's Civic Offices, Wood Quay in April 2019.
The issue of disposable/single use plastics has garnered national and international attention in recent years. A recent government funded study estimated that up to 200 million single use coffee cups are used in Ireland every year and these are not recyclable, that is 22,000 cups every hour. The Co-Cup Scheme aims to reduce this figure by implementing a deposit and return scheme for reusable cups in Dublin.
The pilot project which is funded LAPN and run by 2GoCup Ltd will initially be rolled out in a number of locations including campuses at Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin and in Dublin City Council's Civic Offices.
Under the pilot scheme when someone purchases a tea/ coffee, there is an additional charge of €1 – a deposit for the cup and when they return their cup they get their €1 back. A lid can also be purchased for €1, which can be kept and re-used.
Fionnghuala Ryan, Executive Environmental Scientific Officer, Dublin City Council said" The City Council is delighted to be involved in this exciting pilot project. With funding from the EPA's Local Authority Prevention Network, Co-Cup hopes to be the beginning of the deposit and return revolution in Ireland. We want to prove that it can be done and to drive behaviour change."
The President of Dublin City University, Professor Brian MacCraith commented "I'm delighted that two of Dublin's universities, one young and one not so young, are coming together with Dublin City Council to provide a leadership example for our shared city. The Co-Cup initiative is an innovative and practical measure that will enable every citizen to play a central role in reducing waste and contributing to sustainability. Solutions such as this will also help DCU to achieve its commitment to become the first university in Ireland to phase out single-use plastics."
Michele Hallahan, Sustainability Advisor, for Trinity College Dublin commented "This is a truly a collaborative project between Trinity College Dublin, Dublin City University, and Dublin City Council and very much in keeping with Trinity's Disposable Plastic Plan and other Circular Economy initiatives which contribute towards a more sustainable campus. The climate crisis needs to be addressed through collaborative rather than competitive forces, and this is a collaboration we're delighted to be involved in."


President Bush has revealed the existence of secret CIA prisons. He denied that the US had tortured the detainees and said the prisons had been a vital tool in the war on terror.
Here are some key quotes from his speech.
Captured terrorists have unique knowledge about how terrorist networks operate. They have knowledge of where their operatives are deployed, and knowledge about what plots are underway. This intelligence [...] cannot be found any other place. And our security depends on getting this kind of information. To win the war on terror, we must be able to detain, question, and, when appropriate, prosecute terrorists captured here in America, and on the battlefields around the world.
Those held at Guantanamo include suspected bomb makers, terrorist trainers, recruiters and facilitators, and potential suicide bombers. They are in our custody so they cannot murder our people.
A small number of suspected terrorist leaders and operatives captured during the war have been held and questioned outside the United States, in a separate program operated by the Central Intelligence Agency.
We knew that (Abu) Zubaydah had more information that could save innocent lives, but he stopped talking. As his questioning proceeded, it became clear that he had received training on how to resist interrogation. And so the CIA used an alternative set of procedures. These procedures were designed to be safe, to comply with our laws, our Constitution, and our treaty obligations. [...]The procedures were tough, and they were safe, and lawful, and necessary.
Terrorists held in CIA custody have also provided information that helped stop a planned strike on US Marines at Camp Lemonier in Djibouti - they were going to use an explosive laden water tanker. They helped stop a planned attack on the US consulate in Karachi using car bombs and motorcycle bombs, and they helped stop a plot to hijack passenger planes and fly them into Heathrow or the Canary Wharf in London.
This program has been, and remains, one of the most vital tools in our war against the terrorists.
I want to be absolutely clear with our people, and the world: The United States does not torture. It's against our laws, and it's against our values. I have not authorized it -and I will not authorize it.
The Supreme Court's recent decision has impaired our ability to prosecute terrorists through military commissions, and has put in question the future of the CIA program.
In its ruling on military commissions, the Court determined that a provision of the Geneva Conventions known as "Common Article Three" applies to our war with al Qaeda. This article includes provisions that prohibit "outrages upon personal dignity" and "humiliating and degrading treatment."
[... ]some believe our military and intelligence personnel involved in capturing and questioning terrorists could now be at risk of prosecution under the War Crimes Act - simply for doing their jobs in a thorough and professional way.

Hi Everyone, my name is Tatiana and I joined Drass in 2009. As you can say from my surname I'm not Italian, I'm from Russia. When I first joined Drass I started working Purchasing Department. My main duties were market research, dealing with foreign suppliers, expediting and frame contracts. In June 2011 I joined Drass commissioning team on board DSV Da Vinci (Gulmar project) and I spent an amazing three months following the final commissioning activities and watching the whole Drass system come to life. Since 2012 I've been a part of the Quality Department and now I am a QA of the Vard project.
In my free time, I love travelling, reading and shoe shopping.
Now I have to leave you and get back to my QA duties. See you soon!

In elder or dementia caregiving, one of the hardest decisions to make is to move your loved one out of his or her home (or your home) and into a more institutional setting. Making the move bearable for your loved one may not always be possible. They may stand firm… They're staying put, and that's that!
What did it feel like to you as a child when your family moved to a new home in a new location? Think about those first few days of trying to find your things, especially if some of them had to be left behind. Try to recall what your emotions were when you went to the new school the first time—all those strangers and you didn't know anyone. Did your parents' logical explanations and promises that "everything will be alright" make any impact on how you felt?
What did it feel like as an adult when you went to a new job for the first time? Managing to learn a lot of new names in a short period of time was stressful, wasn't it? The same was probably true of learning new work rules—written and un-written—so that you weren't creating problems right off the bat.
Can you remember what it felt like to give up control of your life when you went into the military or other organization? You know, when someone else told you what to do and how to do it… You were probably a bit resentful, even if you managed to comply. Most of us find small ways in which to act out that rebellion—sneaking a forbidden treat, making jokes about the people in charge, etc.
I think you get the point. Moving your loved one puts them into the emotional pool I've just asked you to swim in. By answering these questions, you can begin to experience some of what your loved one is experiencing. This sense of loss of the familiar, confusion in the new place with new people, and new regimes is especially heightened if your loved one is suffering from dementia.
Stretch your imagination far enough to strategize ways to ease the transition and AND the emotional upset it will engender. There's a terrific article by Peter Silin, MSW, RSW entitled "Moving Into a Nursing Home: A Guide For Families". Take a look at it if you're in the process, or if you can see this in your future down the road. It can be a big help in easing the stress for you and your loved one.
I'm having to make a decision that I hoped we could stall or do differently.
I live far from Mom…she has a cracked vertebrae due to Osteoporosis and is in rehab.Her memory issues have started going down in the past year.She is 91 so I am not surprised but am sad. She has lived on her own for many years…is in a nice apartment complex for seniors.
But I'm afraid she has gotten too frail and am afraid of a fall or break .She'd broken her shoulder a year ago and broke her femur years ago.
She's a fighter…but the fight is wearing her down.She told me she won't have surgery if something comes up-she will refuse it.
