’s D! The holidays make marketing so much fun – the contests, the deals, the relevant engagement – everyone needs to get into the spirit!
1. Get festive! You want your business/brand to be relevant, so that means “decorating” your social media accounts! Change out your Facebook cover photo to something Christmasy (if you celebrate that) or have your Twitter background be a field covered with snow. Show the world that you are ready for the holidays.
2. Post interactive content. Ask questions each week, share favorite holiday memories. Connect with your market on an emotional level and get to know them.
3. Give sneak peeks. People like to have exclusivity. If you are offering a deal in your brick and mortar store, offer it to your social media fans or email list a day early. If you are debuting a new product or service, leave bread crumbs so they are hungry for it when you debut it.
4. Offer a discount or special deal. You do not have to do this to be successful, but sometimes this will help you convert those browsers into customers. It can something for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. It could be a month-long discount on a product or service.
5. Utilize your email list! Your email list is almost like gold. These are people who have said they want emails from you – use this wisely! Segment it and send carefully crafted messages. Send email list-only deals. You have a captive audience, so make the most of it!
6. Give back. I believe all businesses should donate to charity (whether it’s time or money). During the holiday season, share what you support or support something new. Do boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Donate to Toys for Tots. Adopt a local foster child. Take a group of your employees and do a shift at a local soup kitchen. Show that you are more than a business and that you truly care and want to give back.
7. Use some traditional marketing. You will always have a segment of your market that is not online. Make sure to infuse your online holiday marketing plan with some aspects of traditional.
8. Have fun. It is the holidays after all. Show some holiday cheer and have fun with your fans and those who come into your office/store.

Logging is an important feature of many applications. It can be used for debugging during the development process and to trace how a program executes once it is deployed. Crucial features of a logging framework are:
High peformance can only be achieved if formatting of log records is avoided for disabled log statements. The costs boil down to an atomic integer comparison, and a branch. Further, logging can be disabled at compile time with via the preprocessor, in which case no instruction at all will be generated.
It is obvious that any modern library needs to be thread-safe. However, great care needs to be taken that synchronization overhead does not affect performance.
In order to minimize the impact of a logging framework on the size of the source code, logging statements should be easy to write. This library allows to format log records with stream output operator just like for std::ostream.
The logging system should be configurable by both, API calls and configuration files. It must provide fine grained control in which parts of the application logging is enabled. It must be possible route the log records to different logs, for example the console or log files. The format of the records in the log should be configurable, and only contain the required information, which leads to smaller logs and a higher performance.
Usable during static initialization and deinitialization
For example, logging statements may be executed indirectly when global objects are constructed or destructed. This should result in a static initialization fiasco.
This library is extremely portable and has minimal dependencies. It requires only standard C++ and a standard C++ library.
The heart of the logging framwork is a hierarchy of log targets, which have a unique string ID. Applications format log records and use logger objects to write them to a target. Each target is configured with a threshold log level. Only records with a log level above or equal to the threshold are logged. In this case, the log records are written to the targets channel. Targets can log to the same channel, in fact, often all targets log to the same channel. The log channels perform output of log records i.e. to the console, if a console channel is selected or to a file if a file channel is selected, respectively. The threshold log level and channel of each log target in the hierarchy can be configured at runtime. Here is a typical example:
id: "" | channel: console:// | level: info | |   id: "app" | channel: INHERIT | level: INHERIT | | .--------------------+-------------------. | | | |   id: "app.module1"   id: "app.module2" channel: file:///log.txt channel: INHERIT level: trace level: INHERIT
In this setup, three log targets are created. The root target is always persent and has the special empty string ID. The root target has one direct child, the target named "app". In this case, no log channel and level have been explicitly set for the target, so it inherits the attributes from its parent. The target "app" has two children, named "app.module1" and "app.module2". The string IDs indicate the position (path) of the target in the hierarchy. The target "app.module2" inherits all attributes from it parent, while the target "app.module1" overrides the log channel and level. With this mechanism based on inheritance, the parts of interest of the hierarchy can be enabled, while other parts of the hierarchy are suppressed.
Applications can use the API to set the threshold log levels and the channels of the targets. Possible log levels are:
Channels are configured by a channel URL. Possible channel URLs are:
The first opens a file channel writing to the file mylog.log. If the file size of 1000000 bytes is reached it will be renamed, and logging continues to a newly created mylog.log file. The parameter 'files' limits file rolling to a total number of five files. The second URL opens a channel to log to the console.
The format of the logging records can be configured with a format pattern string. The format pattern can contain text and specifiers, which are placeholders for the various elements of the log records. Specifiers are escaped with a percent sign in the format pattern string. For example, the pattern "%t %m" would write the time and the message for each log record separated by a space.
Here is a list of possible specifiers:
%l log level (severity)
%F file where the record was logged
%L line number where the record was logged
%M method/function where the record was logged
The following code example above changes the log level and channel of the target named "app" to write records with a threshold level of Pt::System::Info to a log file:
Pt::System::Logger::setPattern("[%c] %t - %m");
A log record pattern is applied to print the target ID, the time and the message text of the records to the logs.
Macros are provided to make logging more convenient. The easiest way to log is to use the logging macros for a static logger instance. A logger instance can be defined for a compilation unit and then logged to:
PT_LOG_INFO("foobar was called with: " << n);
The advantage of the macros is that they will expand to nothing if NLOG is defined, so logging support can be conditionally compiled. Macros exist for the various log levels:
The disadvantage of these macros is that they do not allow more than one logger instance per compilation unit and the logger definition can not be placed in a public header file. A similar set of macros allows to define global logger instances:
PT_LOG_INFO_TO(mullog, "multipy " << a << " by " << b)
int divide(int a, int b)
PT_LOG_INFO_TO(divlog, "divide " << a << " by " << b)
Again, these logging statements can be conditionally compiled and the logging macros expand to nothing if NLOG is defined. Here is a list of the macros for the various log levels:
The alternative to using the macros is to use logger objects directly in the code. To do so, a Logger object must be instanciated, for example as a class member variable and then messages can be written to it:
<< "multipy " << a << " by " << b << Pt::System::endlog;
Note that the code above is somewhat inefficient, because the log record is formatted even if its log level is below the threshold of the logger target. It is more efficient if the log level is checked before the record is formatted:
Pt::System::LogMessage(_logger, Pt::System:Info) << "multipy " << a << " by " << b;
The library offers a set of macros that can be used with logger instances and implement this check:
logger_begin_info(_logger) << "multipy " << a << " by " << b;
Here is the list of the available macros:
Expansion of these macros is not affected by defining NLOG. These macros can not be used with loggers defined by the previous macros, because construction of global loggers is not trivial when the the static initialization fiasco has to be avoided. Definition of global loggers with the macros does not simply result in global variables.
Although it generates more code, it can still make sense to work with log message and log record objects directly. These can improve performance, if the same record has to be logged multiple times, because formatting has to be done only once:


"You want your money back?" Cyrus joked, as a video of a November 2012 interview in which the singer was surprised by male strippers was played on a monitor in the background. "I should've kept one of those dudes' numbers."
Cyrus is promoting her new album "Bangerz," which she says constitutes a "story" about her life, including her relationship with Hemsworth, from the first track, "Adore You," to the last, "Someone Else," which contains the lyrics "If you're looking for love / Know that love don't live here anymore / He left with my heart / They both walked through that door, without me."
"id, adding: "I, hearing my thoughts."

What do you get when you combine historic tragedy, anachronistic comedy and soap operas?
You get Jess Leadbeatter and Amanda Goode's Lifeboat, a comedic twist on the sinking of the RMS Titanic with a positively soap opera-inspired plot.
Leadbeatter and Goode played a whole cast of varied characters, beginning the show with surrogates of themselves, show runners Amanda and Jess. These performers, donning fluffy white scarves and professing grandiose personalities, played on the audience's expectations with a song about "going aboard the Titanic", and how they were "going to make it".
Leading us into the show was Luke Hutton's piano. He sat stage left, beginning the show with a lounge music tune accompanied by creaking boat hulls and splashing waves. In the small, intimate setting at Club Voltaire, with couches at the front and ropes lying in coils draped over the set pieces, Hutton's music created a comfortable atmosphere, a kind of calm before the storm, if you will.
It's rarely ever the disaster itself that makes a good disaster story. While an environmental tragedy might be the title draw of a blockbuster movie, be it the smash hit Titanic, Pompeii or the classic Poseidon Adventure, what gives these disaster movies their lasting appeal is the human drama that comes as a result of the tragedy. Titanic was a movie about the impending doom of hundreds of people, but tears were shed for Winslet and DiCaprio's Jack and Rose. The capsizing of the ship represented the tragedy of their romance on a monumental scale. We'd connected with them and at the end we had to watch that connection severed—the disaster became a metaphor for the tragedy of lost love.
There was an endearing quality about their relationship, giving a real sense that these two had been friends for years. They displayed some meta-self-awareness when Val and Val bickered over the ship's performers Amanda and Jess, as each character criticised the other performer's surrogate: who was short, who was the better singer, who was more attractive.
Exhibiting wavering Irish accents, sailors David and Bertram were a markedly different pairing. Bertram was the young, inexperienced sailor eager to learn from David, whose candid and cynical attitude contrasted well with Bertram's timidity. Their stories intertwine with Val and Val's, when Bertram reveals he knows his wife Val is having an affair with "the Morse code man". David offers to kill Val's suitor, strengthening the bond between the sailors while they're out drinking together.
There's also vapid housekeepers Vanity and Chastity who have a penchant for stealing from the richer patrons (including Kate Winslet). Each dynamic explores some facet of the relationship between Goode and Leadbeatter as a comic duo. The histrionic Jess and Amanda showcase the egotistic and competitive side of the performers, while Val and Val are a humble portrayal of their friendship in later years—at ease with each other but not without some sass. It's fascinating to watch the plot unfold and the drama swell, the twists and turns of which it would be a real shame to spoil here.
Considering the versatile characters and setting changes, it's a testament to the minimal set design and Emily Goode's sound and lighting, which subtly signify where we are before the next scene unfolds. Much of this is dependent on the performers, who resume the same spots and similar body language to signify characters.
Hutton's range of musical genres help to convey the mood of each scene, though his dynamics were a little monotonous. At times I forgot he was playing because much of the score remained at the same intensity. Ultimately it's up to the audience to follow along as all the plots begin to string together, erupting in total chaos towards the end.
Though consistently funny throughout, some jokes fail to amuse as mere, shallow jabs at contemporary culture. Instead of being situated in the historical context of the disaster, references are made to selfies, hashtags, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. While this kind of approach establishes Lifeboat as a bit of farcical fun, it leans dangerously close to the cringe-worthy American spoof-comedies of Aaron Friedberg and Jason Seltzer, whose pop-culture-centric jokes signify their lack of intelligence. It would have been more fun if Leadbeatter and Goode set themselves the challenge of extracting humour from 1912 maritime America, instead of opting for punch lines no one in the audience needed to think about.
This is surely one to watch at Fringe. Also, keep an eye out for these two performers who will no doubt put on great shows in the years to come.

When we understand carbon sequestration and grasslands, we see why cattle need not be the climate disaster they are often touted as. First of all, the world’s grasslands evolved with grazing. While it would be nice, in many ways, to re-introduce bison, mammoth, and dire wolves to fulfill their historical roles, this is not a feasible solution. Rather, our tools include cattle, goats, and sheep as proxies for these historical ruminants, which co-evolved with the northern hemisphere’s grasslands after the last ice age. Where the problems have arisen, and grazing in the west has been more destructive than regenerative, is the lack of management of these herds. Just like reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone created a trophic cascade of benefits, the proper management grazing animals leads to ecological and climate benefits.
While increasing rates to be comparable with similar lands and rewriting leases to include better management toward environmental outcomes is both reasonable and desired, what is really costing us all is when all ranchers and ranching are condemned. Ultimately, ranchers and agriculturalists are the stewards of the majority of our land, and to alienate them is to create an enemy out of a potential ally, while setting back the progress of those who have built bridges and are making a positive environmental impact on managed lands.

Lifeʼs A Drag
Why did you make Life’s A Drag?
For many reasons. Firstly we love filmmaking, it was a great opportunity to get the team together, have some fun and tell a story with an important message. Short films are also part of the process of honing skills and developing a body of work that can be a springboard to feature film making.
Life's A Drag - Peter McAllum as Bettina.
Why is it called Life’s A Drag?
It is a play on words being about a couple of drag queens reviewing life – a life that has not necessarily been easy but always colourful.
I look back on those years so fondly and Life’s A Drag is a tribute to all those men who taught me so much and gave me so much joy. It is also universal as the central core of the film is to be true to oneself and live the life you want to live.
Overwhelmingly positive – it is a short little film but punches above its weight – it touches and teaches and entertains – can’t ask for more than that!
I’m always surprised when watching our films with different audiences – how laughs come in different places or tears…. It seems every screening is unique to the vibe of the audience which is endlessly thrilling for me.
Lconversation about this film?
I just shot my final short film, Miro, about an Aboriginal soldier returning home at the end of WWII and am very excited to see the assembly of everyone’s very fine work. Am now in development on a couple of feature films. Our director/actor Rob Queree is featuring in a web series and working on a theatre project and a film. (I was also lucky enough to get him to play my bad guy in Miro)

Then, on Sunday, JSO said it was told of 18 additional positive tests among inmates.
The Sheriff’s Office described “most” of the patients as asymptomatic, but said that confirmed symptoms have included fever and body aches. It’s not clear how many of these inmates have reported symptoms.
The Sheriff’s Office said that all inmate movement will be “kept to a minimum” as a precaution, and that newly-arrested inmates will be tested upon entry or quarantined for 14 days.
The Florida Department of Health, JSO said, is scheduled to begin testing everyone in the jail “as soon as possible,” but did not specify when that would occur.


It seems like just a day or two ago, but ten days ago I divided my 'King Tut' papyrus. It had been in the garage for a couple of months, and I was afraid that I had waited too long to bring a division inside under the lights.
Some parts of the plant look pretty terrible, but it's not all bad news.
The seed packet displays are here! The seed packet displays are here!
There is nobody who puts out the spring gardening supplies around here earlier than the big box home improvement stores, which in St. Louis are Lowes and Home Depot. I was at HD today to pick up some paint and other stuff not related to gardening, then remembered that I needed a couple of small clay saucers to put under the green onion pots. Glad I did, because as I made my way over to the indoor part of the garden department it looked like they had just rolled out the Burpee seed packet display earlier today.
It's been a long time since I've seen a pristine display like this. Usually there are empty slots, packages put back in the wrong places, or packets displayed upside down or even facing backwards. Seeing it "fresh" was very nice. (Disclaimer: all photos in this post taken with phone's camera)
I received those bamboo rhizomes the other day and I've got some plant cuttings rooted in water that I've been meaning to get into some soil, and since the temperature outside is about the same as the temperature in the garage (low to mid 40's F) it seems like the perfect day to do some potting. Yes, I could pot these up in the garage any day, but it's much nicer and simpler if I can leave the garage door open for more light and easier access to pots that I left outside this winter.
Here are most of the components, so let's jump right in!
Bugs from warmer days past
When winter starts getting to me, there are a few things I can do. 1) I can go to my growing table in the basement and get a fix of green. This often reminds me of work I need to do though, as some of the plants on the table need some attention. 2) I can browse my gardening books and seed catalogs, dreaming, planning, and counting the days until the last frost date. 3) I can go through my old garden photos, reminding myself what the yard will look like again in just a few months, when it warms. (It's surprising how quickly I forget each year!)
That's what I did tonight -- looked back over old photos. Instead of focusing on the lush greenery of what was growing though, for some reason insect photos caught my eye. Summer means insects, right? I'm pretty sure I haven't shown these before, and wanted to before I forget about them again. So here they are.
Bamboo trading season is upon us
For those of us gardeners who have been bitten by the bamboo bug, late winter is an exciting time as it marks the start of the bamboo trading season. (Yes I know it's not actually late winter yet here, but it can be for growers in warmer climates.) It's the best time to dig up rhizomes -- the parts of the plant that are underground and will produce new shoots in a few months. For those of us who grow running bamboo, some method of controlling the spread of these rhizomes is needed, and digging them up before the new shoots are produced is a good way to do this.
Do you remember the finch nest on my front porch? It was built in April, used to raise some chicks, then used again in May to rear a second brood. By the time that last chick took flight, the nest was looking pretty sad -- it had quite a bit of bird "droppings" on it and around it. Once the last chick left I waited a while to see if the nest would be used again, but it wasn't, so I could have cleaned it up at that time.
Sometime over the last 10 years or so, owls have moved into our neighborhood. Maybe they've always been here, but before then I wasn't paying enough attention to the natural world around me, but I don't think so. I've always been quite observant of nature, so I think it's more just a matter of getting enough "good" trees around here -- trees that owls would find attractive to nest in.
Besides the trees in the yards, there's a small forested area a few houses down the street from me, and that's the key -- that's where the owls live. (It's also where the deer often go, but that's nothing to do about owls.)
I've written about various small-plant gardens before, collections of different colors and textures hugging the ground. Perhaps different species of thymes, or a collection of sedums (or better yet, a mixture of the two). Even mosses or lichens can create a wonderful small-scale garden under the right conditions.
A while ago I discovered another small-scale garden that had everything I look for in an attractive garden. Sort of.
>> Sunday, January 23, 2011 –  aphids, insects
At least I hope they do, because today I sprayed them. If you missed it, yesterday I wrote about the aphids on some of my overwintering indoor plants, and took a good close look at them.
Today they got a drenching with insecticidal soap, so that should do them in.
Aphids and more aphids
>> Saturday, January 22, 2011 –  aphids, insects, microscopy
>> Friday, January 21, 2011 –  deer, snow, winter
Another frigid morning after yesterday's snowfall. Another stay-indoors-with-the-camera day for sure. Know who doesn't get a choice about staying indoors or not? Deer.
I like seeing their tracks in the snow. It lets me know more about what they're doing in my yard when I'm not able to watch (which is nearly all the time).
Small project, long overdue
>> Thursday, January 20, 2011 –  overwintering, papyrus, propagation
This weekend I finally tackled a little project that I should have done two months ago. It's my 'King Tut' Papyrus, one of my favorite plants. It's been sitting in the garage since I moved it there in early November -- it's not cold-hardy so I need to protect it during the winter.
The project was to divide the plant and bring a smaller division into the basement under the lights. The reason I didn't jump on this immediately in November is that I was waiting for signs of distress from the plant, and I haven't yet seen any.
>> Wednesday, January 19, 2011 –  castor bean, winter
The castor bean plants are some of the most dramatic, eye-catching features in my garden during mid to late summer. Their impressive height (8'-10' or more), giant leaves, and colors (dark reddish leaves and bright red seed pods) make a statement. Their only drawback is their size and resulting susceptibility to storm damage, requiring me to stake them up each year.
What I've found this year is that they're also worth keeping around during the winter.
The definition of neglect, and a resurrection

>> Monday, January 17, 2011 –  grasses, seeds
I'll be cursing these seeds in a couple of months when I'm cutting these grasses down, but for now I'm loving them.
>> Sunday, January 16, 2011 –  jasmine, pruning, winter damage
Last month I posted about one non-hardy plant that I had forgotten about and left out through a couple of freezes: my jasmine. My fix in that post was to prune the plant hard and hope that it would send out new growth. For the past several weeks I've been thinking that I took the wrong approach:
I certainly managed to turn it into a pot full of sharp, leg-poking branches.
>> Saturday, January 15, 2011 –  bamboo, winter damage
This is about the plants that are in the ground and exposed to the elements. The harsh, bamboo-hating winter elements. If you grow bamboo you'll probably be interested in seeing how things are doing. If you don't grow bamboo you may still enjoy seeing how the different plants hold up during the winter. If you're not interested in plants at all, then you're probably out of luck today.

>> Friday, January 14, 2011 –  snow, water, winter
The sun was shining today and I thought it would be nice to take some photos of something wintry, but I just couldn't bring myself to gear up for a garden excursion. So I stayed inside and took photos from the windows. Also of the windows, or at least of the condensation on them.
There was ice once
>> Thursday, January 13, 2011 –  trees, winter
Actually, there was ice more than once, but not recently. I just decided to post these photos from an ice storm that hit in 2006 because they felt appropriate. It's pretty darn cold right now: 13ºF as I write this (remember I usually write the morning's post the evening before) heading for a low of 5ºF.
So I think these photos are just about perfect today. Tonight. Whatever.
Up too early, luckily
Sunday morning I woke up too early -- much, much too early. The clock said 4:00 AM, and I was wide awake. I knew this was going to be a problem later in the day so I tried for about 30 minutes to fall back asleep, but it wasn't happening. Reluctantly I got out of bed and went to the computer. Read a few blogs, perused the day's headlines, looked through some old photos, and played some computer games. After two and a half hours on the computer I got bored and hungry, so made my way upstairs.
Surprisingly, it was still quite early -- just a little after 7:00 -- and the sun was just rising. Wow, was it ever rising!
>> Tuesday, January 11, 2011 –  planning, planting
A few years back (in 2006 actually, the year I did so many garden projects) I decided to redo my mom's garden for her. This would be a big change for me because it was quite a small area.

The story of the toads
>> Sunday, January 9, 2011 –  discovery, toads
As you may know, my yard slopes down from the front to the back, and behind my yard is a strip of common ground that is mainly trees and bush honeysuckle. This strip is only about 15-20' wide or so, and in this strip the ground slopes down quite sharply. Somewhere at the base of that slope is an area that can get saturated during wet weather, forming a large puddle (or multiple puddles -- it's not easy for me to get back there or see through the bushes).
>> Saturday, January 8, 2011 –  clouds, hummingbirds, macro, panicum, sunrise
As I was looking through my photo archives to find a couple of specific images, I came across a few different images that never made it into posts. I also found a few older images (from before I started the blog) that I'd like to share with you today. I'll do this from time to time, as I have a more older garden photos that are worth sharing too.
Soil? Soil is for wimps!
>> Friday, January 7, 2011 –  lichen
In the world of plants, there is a lot to love. There's so much variety in size, shape, color, fragrance, form, and dozens of other factors that those of us who love growing plants can't help but find a few favorites -- plants we are just drawn to for some reason. For me, it's typically the big vigorous plants that you kind of need to fight with and show who's boss: bamboos, elephant ears, big ornamental grasses, vines.
But there's another type of "plant" that I'm fascinated by way at the other end of the scale. Tiny, ubiquitous organisms that typically go unnoticed, but have a lot to offer to those who care to look. I'm talking about lichens.
>> Thursday, January 6, 2011 –  comparison, tools
Although I feel like I could work in the garden every day, all year long, it's probably good that there are a few months during the winter when there's not much I can do. It's a great time to inspect all of the tools that I'm too busy using during the growing season too even think about, let alone inspect or replace.
One of the "tools" that I've really not paid attention to this past year is my work shoes.
Checking in on the greenhouse plants
>> Wednesday, January 5, 2011 –  bamboo, greenhouse
Last winter was the first year for my temporary greenhouse, and I was out there almost every day checking the temperature, seeing how the bamboos were doing, and just enjoying all of the green during the blah days of winter. I'm not sure what's different this year -- maybe the novelty of having a plastic sheeted refuge from the cold has worn off, maybe I'm too busy with other things, or maybe since the bamboo in the yard is larger this year I've got enough green to look at -- whatever the reason I haven't been going out to the greenhouse very much this year.
In fact, I think I've only been out there one time since moving the plants into it, and that was to check for leaks and to add some magnets to flaps on the roof (to keep the wind from lifting the flaps). So this weekend I decided to go out there and see how everything was doing.
>> Tuesday, January 4, 2011 –  discovery, freeze, water
After shutting down the stream due to sub-freezing weather returning, I noticed that a water-filled bucket had frozen over again. This was not surprising.
What was surprising was how very pretty the ice was.
When I added the artificial "stream" water feature to my garden in 2006, I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere it created. Its quiet, bubbly voice made a big impact, adding a calmness to the patio area that I never would have thought possible. It became so integral to the surroundings that when its first winter came around I did whatever I could to keep that water flowing.
The bamboo gives and the bamboo gets

After the snow melted in our recent "heatwave", I was checking out one of my bamboos that was bent to the ground in the snow, just to see if there was any damage. I didn't see any problems -- no bent or broken culms or branches. I did notice something interesting though. First, a little setup...
Since I removed the one bamboo from the raised bed this summer, this plant is the bamboo with the densest foliage right now, and that makes it an ideal shelter for birds during the cold weather.
Sneaking in some cleanup
>> Saturday, January 1, 2011 –  cleanup
The weather the last few days has been unseasonably warm, and with a temperature around 65ºF and a line of storms moving into the area, I thought I should do something about this mess behind the house:
I waited until March to clean up back here last year and wrote that I didn't know why I waited so long as this is the part of my yard I look at the most during the winter. So this year I wanted to get it presentable much earlier.

I really enjoyed this book!The story has spunky characters, fun dialogue, real faith, and sprinkles of surprises and danger to make an interesting read. I enjoyed the history associated with the setting and the interactions with the neighboring Indians. The plot flowed well and was easy to read. I liked the conflicts and flaws that made the characters more realistic do recommend both of!I liked learning more about Sophie—and Reinhold, who we've met several times—in this book. There is a little bit of backstory to remind you what happened in the other two books, but you benefit best if you read the books in order. I liked that there were parallels between searching for family in this book and our desires to search for God and establish a relationship with Him. These spiritual aspects allowed me to connect with the characters in a better way and relate to them. The history of the orphan trains is also interesting. Overall, a great book and a great series that comes highly recommended!

"The general mindset of the political left is similar from country to country and even from century to century," writes Thomas Sowell. "The softness toward dangerous criminals found in such 18th century writers as William Godwin and the Marquis de Condorcet has its echo today among those who hold protest vigils at the executions of murderers and complain we are not nice enough to the cutthroats imprisoned at Guantanamo."


When buying a property in Croatia, most client requests include a great waterfront location, connectivity, closeness to the beach, and possibilities for outdoor activities. Investors, especially foreign ones, are looking to ride the wave of the rising popularity of Croatia as a tourist destination, which is why they look at waterfront properties (especially villas), as an investment opportunity that will give a great return over time.
Except for turning properties into valuable rental businesses, there are other clients who see Croatia as a permanent or second home destination. The majority of those clients are families with children, who besides, natural beauty and waterfront location look for safe and family-friendly neighborhoods. That is why most inquiries start with „Is Croatia safe and suitable for families”?
The answer is yes. Croatia not only has family-friendly neighborhoods, but it also has a variety of family-friendly beaches and entertaining locations.
Neighborhoods in Croatia are family-friendly and offer many outdoor activities.
5 reasons why buying a family home in (coastal) Croatia is a good idea
Croatia, especially its coastal parts has a great geographical location. What does that mean? Not only it has great connectivity (with other countries, good quality roads, closeness to administrative centers, etc.), it also has a mild Mediterranean climate. With many sunny hours (per year), outside and fill the day with activities. Many neighborhoods with waterfront properties have a lot of open space and playgrounds nearby, and most importantly, since the properties are near the sea, they are away enough from the water’s edge.
Purchasing a waterfront property in Croatia means only one thing. You are looking for some privacy and peace of mind. Many properties are surrounded by pine or olive (and other Mediterranean plants) trees and the sea. Being surrounded by Mediterranean nature has many benefits for your health (pine trees are shown to have a good impact on the respiratory system). In less populated towns and islands, there is less car traffic, which means your kids will be safe if they like to play outside. Also, large tourist groups are more focused on larger cities (like Dubrovnik or Split), so you won’t have to worry about crowds and noises.
An endless list of family activities
The combination of a good location and quiet neighborhoods will provide your family with an opportunity to spend a lot of time outside doing many activities. And there are many. Living near the sea certainly involves swimming and other forms of water activities and sports (Croatia has a lot of sandy family-friendly beaches where your kids can snorkel and dive safely). On the other side, there are opportunities like cycling, hiking, riding a buggy, zipline, etc. Thanks to many museums and historical monuments you can take your family on an educational tour. You should know that the majority of museums don’t charge the entrance for children.
The proximity of necessities
For most things like – going to grocery shopping, restaurants, parks, city centers, you probably won’t need your car or public transport. Most neighborhoods have their stores, pharmacies, ATM’s and other amenities. Only if you need to get bigger supplies, you’ll have to go to a larger town.
Croatia and all of its cities or small towns are pretty safe to live in (Croatia has one of the smallest crime rates in Europe). The foreign citizens are well accepted among the local population. You can feel safe walking in any part of town at any time of the day (yes, even at night). You won’t have to worry if your kids are playing outside or go on a walk by themselves.
A lot of properties in Croatia are situated in safe, family-friendly neighborhoods.
What are the best family-oriented regions in Croatia
It’s fair to say that Croatia is a family-oriented country in general. It’s a part of its culture and tradition. These regions are listed as the best for families who are considering having a second home, where they could spend vacations throughout a year.
Kids are fascinated by Zadar’s nature-powered Sun Salutation and Sea Organ. Šibenik hosts an excellent International children’s festival.
Offers lots of beach action and unique experiences; let the little ones off the leash in the car-free old towns of Dubrovnik and Korčula.

PRRD bans vaping
Updated November 21, 2019, 12:38 PM
By Genalyn Kabiling and Analou de Vera
In a bid to protect public health and interest, President Duterte has banned the use and importation of vaping products or electronic cigarettes in the country.
The President likewise directed law enforcement authorities to arrest people using vape products, which he claimed is dangerous to the health of the public.
A man smokes vape or e-cigarette in Manila on Wednesday, November 20, 2019, ordered a ban on (Ali Vicoy / MANILA BULLETIN)
“I will ban it. I will ban the use and importation. I hope everybody is listening. Paki-relay na lang. You now why? Tuesday night.
Duterte warned the public to stop vaping or risk being arrested.
“Smoking is dangerous. VapHe added that vape products do not only contain deadly and toxic nicotine but other chemicals that “we do not know.” These products, the President said have not even passed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards.
“Itong vaping sabi nila electronic. Don’t give me that sh*t” he added.
Following the directive of ordered a nationwide crackdown on the use of electronic cigarettes
Lhe ordered all police commanders to increase police visibility in all public places, particularly the vicinity of schools, and to run after those who would dare to vape in no-smoking areas.
Aside from Executive Order 26 which bans smoking in public places, there are also local ordinances that ban the same. In Metro Manila, thousands have been arrested for smoking in public since July last year.
Gamboa said EO 26 and local ordinances can be used to run after vapers since it is similar to smoking in public.
Policemen were also instructed to confiscate e-cigarettes from those who would be caught using them in public places.
“The objective is to remind or warn the owners to take the initiative of warning their clients not to use them in public,” he added.
The President also directed thethe vaping products into the country. “Importation is not allowed,” he said.

Clean air a right
An executive order on the vaping ban will be issued shortly, Duterte added.
“We are very happy and excited about this EO. We feel strongly about ito during a media forum in Manila yesterday.
Domingo said they are hopeful that the provisions of the EO will be comprehensive.
“The DOH and the Food and Drug Administration want is to regulate contents. Meaning those classified as ‘poisons’ shouldn’t be there. We also don’t want them to be sold to minors. We don’t want them at the hands of those less than 18 years old because they are addicting,” he said.
“We also do not want vaping in public. We want to have clean air as that is our right. We also do not want it advertised, especially if they are geared towards children. We want to ban flavors like bubble gum, magic unicorn, strawberry cheesecake, which children think as harmless,” he added.
“Vapes are harmful. If they will say e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes, you still cannot say there is no harm. We are still not very clear on it because these are newly developed chemicals. The long-term effects are still unknown,” he said.
The health official advised those who use the vape products to stop using it.
“This product is addicting. It is not safe. And it is not a health product. It has no positive effect on our bodies. It even carries the possibility of you getting sick. We really urge everybody to stop,” said DomingoAnna Ong-Lim backed Domingo on the harmful effects of vape especially for pregnant women.
“Even while you’re pregnant, whatever you take in for your body it can be transferred to the baby. If you have young children at home, secondhand smoke can actually cause a lot of health issues for your children,” she said.
Domingo said once the EO is issued, they wioms.
The President issued the directive after the country recorded the first probable (EVAL) case. Health authorities are reportedly monitoring the case of the female patient from the Visayas suffering from lung injury reportedly as a result of vaping. (with a report from Aaron Recuenco)


D Double E and the Bluku Music family have dug deep into the archives of bangers to revive a heavy hitting track which has never been made available on digital outlets before. The legendary UK MC stands strong as one of the most respected acts in the game, and with the world in lockdown it was only right that he gave us something to get us through these difficult times.
It is the legendary 'Frontline' that arrives on streaming services. An iconic track which see's D Double showcase his lyrical prowess over a powerful production from Big E-D. The duo really did make greatness with this banger, and there is no doubt that it will be doing up huge numbers following it's official release.


A while ago I was waiting for a routine doctor’s appointment. The waiting room was filled with mostly older people and while it is usually a quiet place; on this day it was anything but. One woman had two small children running wild and making quite a mess out of everything they touched. There was a little Christmas tree in the corner which they almost knocked over several times. They threw magazines around, bumped into people with wheel chairs and were generally a pain in the neck for everyone but their oblivious Mother. At one point someone complained to the receptionist who stated that she couldn’t leave her station and wouldn’t do anything about the chaos.
I noticed a very quiet lady sitting in a corner of the room wearing a head scarf and a coat. Considering that it was quite warm in the room I wondered why she was so warmly dressed. She looked distraught and sad and I felt sorry for her. No one was there to sit with her and that made it seem worse. Suddenly, the two wild kids sensed that she would be an easy target and began to run over and bump into her chair. They began to pull on her coat and yell right near her face yet she said nothing. About that time I personally had had enough of the two holy terrors and got up to go tell them to leave the lady alone. As I approached the woman sitting alone and looking distraught one of the children yanked off her scarf and she began to cry.
Sounds dramatic but there was a reason for her tears. She was completely bald. She had so carefully covered herself up in a warm room to prevent people from seeing what she was hiding and it devastated her when her bald head was uncovered. I was appalled and I told the two kids to get away from her. I got a dirty look from their Mother but I didn’t care. At that point another woman came over to help comfort this poor lady and to retrieve her fallen scarf. She looked up at us through her tears and her gaunt face and thanked us. We asked if she was alright and she lowered her head and cried again.
After a few minutes, after we helped her cover her head she began to tell us why she was bald. She was going through her third course of Chemo Therapy for Breast Cancer which had returned for the second time in two years. She lived alone and had no one to help her and she proceeded to tell us her story. The first time she was diagnosed she was in total shock because she had been so healthy all of her life and it took her by surprise that she had such a devastating disease. She was a widow who had just begun to venture out in the world after grieving her late husband for over two years and her pride and joy had been her long, shiny, beautiful hair. Her words were, “I was never the pretty one in my family but I had the prettiest hair.” As she began to adjust to being a widow without a man in her life she noticed that the men who approached her at dances and other community activities always complimented her on her hair. It made her feel good and gave her hope.
Then, the cancer struck and she eventually lost all of her pride and joy…her beautiful head of hair. She was too weak and sick to go out and buy a wig and besides, she told us that she thought that people wearing wigs were always obvious and she didn’t want to look fake or odd. When her first bout with cancer and chemo were over and she was declared “in remission” she watched as her hair slowly regrew and she had hope for her future.
Sadly, that didn’t last long and she found herself once again riddled with cancer and bald from her treatments. She was a woman with no hope, no life and no hair which was so very important to her. In her words, “My best feature was gone and all I want to do is hide.”.
The other women who came to comfort and assist her put her arms around this sad, frail little lady and began to tell her that she had many options and didn’t have to settle for being bald or waiting for the hair to grow in again. She suggested several different options like low level laser light hair therapy, scalp treatments, all sorts of non-surgical methods for hair replacement and as she spoke I could see the woman’s face lighting up with hope. I was curious as to how this other woman knew so much about all of these hair replacement options and she said that she herself had recovered from cancer and hair loss and had found a place where there were experts in hair loss and hair regrowth and how it had changed her life.
In that crowded waiting room with it’s sad little Christmas Tree and the little lady with the bald head a wonderful holiday gift was given. I saw the signs of hope light up her face and the thought that she could once again feel proud of her hair and how she looked take shape in her mind. So many people consider hair restoration a need brought on by vanity or wanting to look younger…and although those are valid reasons, what could be more important or necessary than restoring someone’s pride and self esteem due to an illness that they had never expected?

Hair loss in Women of a certain age


Hi, all! I'm new to this channel, and this is my first post. I'm an American (Pittsburgh) but I've been living and working in Thailand now for about 17+ years. I've been into firearms since my Boy Scout days, but I'm new to airgunning. I recently bought a Snow Wolf M24, came with a scope and bipod for about $177. Is that about comparable to what they sell for in the states now? Can anyone give me their opinion on this rifle, quality, any 'quirks' etc? I only use it for pest control, mostly pigeons but a few rats now and then and target plinking with my 9yo daughter. My question is this: I'd like a few more FPS for a little more knock-down power with the pigeons. The price of the performance-improving kits seems almost as much as the rifle cost, and I'm reluctant to spend that much. I've seen vids on stretching the spring, and some kind of mod involving a few wraps of silicone (plumbing-type) tape somewhere near the hop-up end of the barrel. Can anyone give me more details or are these not worth pursuing? Also, can I get an estimate on the life of the stock (brass) 6.05mm barrel shooting only steel 6mm BBs? Would a tighter (6.01) steel barrel be worth it? Thanks!
Your rifle may be area specific. I've never heard of it and never heard of 6mm bbs.
Right, 6mm "bb's" would be airsoft not this forums normal "airgun" firing either lead pellets or metal bb's.
You are talking about Airsoft-try a forum like Evike and you may get some answers. Airsoft guns are unique unto themselves and there isn't much crossover into pellet gun technology. I rather doubt they're a viable hunting weapon except possibly for very small game at close range.
CEA1960, 6mm is the standard size for the round plastic airsoft 'pellets', but there are also steel 'balls' available in this size. The Snow Wolf is made in China (unfortunately) but is on many of the review boards. It seems to be a fairly popular rifle.
Spysir, I'm pretty sure I mentioned in my post that these WERE "metal BBs", although larger than the standard .177 cal.
John L57, I know it's an airsoft rifle, but I'm using only steel BBs for pests. The airsoft forums ONLY want to discuss plastic BBs, and apparently sites like this don't now how to handle the question either. I also mentioned in my post that I shoot live pests, although I don't consider it 'hunting' in the traditional sense. My primary targets are pigeons above my window ledges, and rats near my trash cans, 10-20 meters max. Does that fit your description of "small game" and "close range"? But I'll take your advice and contact Evike.
I guess I'm confused at how I give specifics in my post and then have them repeated back to me as if they'd not been mentioned.
Thanks to all of you for replying, anyway. I appreciate it. Good luck to you.
@pghrocker Let me try to give some insight that I hope can help a little bit. It is rather difficult for some of us to give input on 1 a gun we are not familar with and 2 (specially) a platform we are not familiar with, even if they have similar working components. The ammo being shot is of importance as well, as most of us shoot pellets, not round balls of any kind. Hopefully someone here does have Airsoft hobby experience, and may be able to help further.
COST. I feel pretty confident in thinking that no one wants to spend a penny more than they have to in order to get the most accurate and powerful gun they could get. Most new folk to this hobby will end up learning the hard way that it will cost way more than you ever thought you were willing to spend to stay in the game. Most of the time it is worth spending the most you can up front and will avoid buying twice. I have a gun I paid $200 U.S. for in my shed that I may be able to use to grab by the barrel to beat down an attacker, or as a door stop. When I bought it I thought it was my for ever gun and cringed at the thought of spending so much on a "BB gun" My cheapest gun now costs about $650 with mods included.
Power/Speed If you want more power or speed you will need to first have a way of knowing somehow where you are at to begin with and be able to measure the improvements of the mods applied. If you are able to get your hands on a Chronograph somehow, it would serve you well. But most of the time it will be accuracy rather than power that will give you better results than power. What good will it be to have a much power as an AK 47, and miss your target each time by 15cm? A lot of the European countries are limited to low power guns. They focus their energies on accuracy and are very successful in taking down game like rabbit out to as far as 60 meters.
I think the distance you consider short distance is relative. I would say for most of us 20 meters is close range, but that is an individual assessment.
I hope this helps at least in giving you some perspective and hopefully there is someone here that has better knowledge on this subject that could help you achieve what you want without spending a whole lot.

I have banks calling everyday demanding payment. I'm scared to pick up the phone. Last week I even found myself driving around looking to see who I can rob. I need money to pay my debts off. All of this because I can not face the truth of what I have done. I have put myself and family in this position, but I do not know how to get us out of it?
Yes I have to man up, take control of the situation.. But how on earth do I do this. I have managed to source consolidation loan from one of the banks. But they have stated that I have to reduce my current loan by AED 25,000 before they will relase the loan. HOW am I meant to reduce the current loan if I dont have the money...
