Examples of the kinds of issues ALG handles include: Providing legal services for permitting, compliance and regulatory issues involving agencies overseeing Wyoming's resource industries, such as the Department of Environmental Quality, State Engineer/Board of Control and Office of State Lands and Investments.Advising and representing clients in proceedings involving development projects on federal lands (e.g., oil and gas plans of development, participation in RMP Revisions or EIS and planning document processes, BLM State Director Reviews, IBLA matters, ESA issues). Advising clients on permitting and adjudication of water rights before the State Engineer and Board of Control, and handling contested water matters and petitions in proceedings before the water agencies (e.g., changes in use, place of use or point of diversion, temporary use agreements, abandonment petitions, groundwater applications in control areas). Representing clients in compliance and enforcement matters brought by regulators, challenges to permits and appeals of permits, judicial review of agency action, intervention in proceedings brought by non-governmental organizations, and similar proceedings involving regulatory agency action.

Embroidery and Hand Stitching Wedding Inspiration
Wedding Design
This is the most darling wedding inspiration yet, and we think it has something to do with all of the beautiful embroidery and handmade details strewn all over the chic New York City venue. It adds such a fun vintage touch and let's talk about these color palettes! What an explosion of detail (I'm looking at you, reception tables) and I just love how all of these eclectic colors come together so well. Playful weddings like this are always so fun to fangirl over!

Disclosure: As part of The Better Moments Blogger Brigade Program , I did receive compensation for this post. The opinions expressed here are mine and nobody else's. I have been a U.S. Cellular Customer for 10+ years.
OK~ We all know that it's important for families to stay in touch with each other. It is a fact that mobile phones allow to us to do this on a daily basis. The iPhone 5s makes it super easy to stay in contact with family, as it's easy to navigate.
In a recent U.S. Cellular survey, respondents indicated that 13 was an appropriate age for a child to receive their first mobile phone, whereas five years ago that age was 15. I know locally, there is variation of opinion on this. I recently asked my fans at what age they felt it was appropriate for kids to have smartphone. The age range was six to never old enough. Yes, I do agree, it does depend on the maturity of the child, but six is fairly young.
I am also asked questions, quite regularly, as to what age is appropriate for my child to have their first smart phone? Many times it is because kids want to go on Instagram or SnapChat. It's important for parents to understand how to use these devices and help their kids understand why parents need to monitor them. U.S. Cellular offers a fantastic Family Protector Program, which will help parents put their minds at ease, once they hand over a smart phone to their kids. You can enroll in this program here and know that you are making a smart choice when it comes to the safety of your family.
Many of you know that I strongly feel it's important to still talk to people, and you know that face to face conversation still matters. Our kids are no different when it comes to using their smartphones. In a recent U.S. Cellular survey, 39 percent of parents said they wish their children would talk to them instead of sending them texts/e-mails or instant messages. Personally, I think it's nice to hear their voice now and then, but in all reality, a text message is very convenient! There are times that a phone call is warranted, but often times a text message will suffice.
U.S. Cellular also found that 72% of families have rules when it comes to their kids and cell phone use. To help make this conversation much easier, as U.S. Cellular's Parent Child Agreement provides customizable suggestions on safety and etiquette that focus on creating better moments within families. The intention is to make this work for each individual family, and to show how technology can enhance time spent together as a family.
U.S. Cellular is offering FREE device training workshops during the month of July. This is the perfect time to learn more about the devices your family owns. Everyone will be in tune to how to use them once the new school year rolls around. At these workshops, the helpful folks at U.S. Cellular will offer families advice on setting guidelines and sharing suggestions on what parents need to know when it comes time to invest in their child's first mobile phone. For a list of device workshops in your area, head on over to the Events that U.S. Cellular has to offer.
Handing over a smartphone to your child is not an event to be taken lightly. Take the time to educate yourself on how to use the device and then show your child how to be safe. There's a lot to learn and it's true that you can never be to cautious when it comes to the safety of your children. After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

Miami City Manager Daniel Alfonso announced Wednesday that he has added another 40 officers to his 2016 budget.
He also called a 2 p.m. press conference for Thursday at City Hall to lay out everything the city is doing to hire officers, solve crimes and train new cops in an era of civil unrest and clashes with police around the country.
Alfonso's moves come amid pressure from city commissioners and some residents to address concerns that the city has failed to meet a commission mandate to bolster Miami's police staff while violent crimes are spiking. Ahead of a Sept. 10 budget hearing, Alfonso and Police Chief Rodolfo Llanes intend to show that the city is actually safer, and its police staffing at a healthy level.
"As of this date, we have nearly 1,200 sworn officers, putting us at 95% of the budgeted amount," Alfonso wrote to commissioners in a memo. He also sent them charts showing "that while the City's population and 911 calls received have steadily increased, the number of [violent crimes] has steadily decreased."
Over the last two years, Miami commissioners have set aside millions to increase Miami's police force by more than 100 officers, to 1,261 cops. In June, frustrated by the police department's inability to hire enough cops to outpace the rate of retirements and firings, some city commissioners put Alfonso and Llanes on notice that they had to come back in September with something better to show.
During that meeting, Coconut Grove resident and pollster Fernand Amandi, who flooded City Hall with angry residents calling for more police several years ago, warned Alfonso that he would call for his job if he didn't vastly change the city's dent on crime and hirings.
Since that time, the city has apparently added dozens of officers to the force, and increased the number of police recruiters, outsourced polygraphing, and hired a consultant to review hiring practices. The city also plans to create "neighborhood focus groups" to get citizen input on the safety needs of different communities, and wants to establish a partnership with Florida International University for multi-cultural training for officers.
Alfonso, however, is still getting pressure from Amandi and the police union. He announced the hiring of more officers Wednesday just hours after union president Lt. Javier Ortiz published audio of what he said was a dispatcher holding more than a dozen calls in the city's south end due to a lack of police officers able to respond. He said Alfonso needs to attract better recruits with better pay, and "can't cut a cop in half to make two of them."
"We need more cops," Ortiz, who is negotiating a new contract, wrote on Facebook. "We need to be compensated with comparable agencies like the Miami-Dade pay structure."

The past is catching up to me, and I like it. Sometimes our past lives drift, become vivid memories – but with Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee (maybe) running for president, mine is resurfacing. Enjoy a look back with me during the months as I post photos over 10 years old. And enjoy looking forward with me, as I post work I do in the next months as these two make a go of it.
Buzzfeed is good at finding the good old days – And what a blast from the past. Hillary Clinton for the early 90s, taken by none other than me. Wow – check it out.

Congratulations Sarah + Josh. Such a wonderful wedding at the Ignite Glass Blowing Studio.
On September 29, 2002, Sakiko Mito married Budi Tjoenawan at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas. This was eventful from our perspective because they gave us a freedom we hadn't experienced before. We shot mostly film, with a slight amount of digital mixed in, but we could do anything we wanted and they wanted us to push our boundaries and try very interesting and progressive (at the time) photographs. We used grain and blur to our advantage, we shot cross process and just about anything else you can think of, but mostly, we simply had a great time. The final results are something to be enjoyed by all. #experiencematters #tbt #ockenphotography
How long does it take to create great photographs? We say decades – and here's way. Have you ever looked at a photo and said, wow, that's a great pictures, but then just haven't been able to define why? Well, that's what takes decades, that ability to make the connections within photos that take a picture beyond just 'good', the ability to create a photos that are simply a joy to view. #experiencematters #ockenphoto #tbt

Does the changing definitions of art change the way you think about art? Seth Godin recently outlined many changes in his recent blog post – Now it's ruined.How many times have we heard this?
– Photography is a cheat, the death of painting
– Photoshop is a hack, the death of photography
– Instagram filters are crap, the death of Photoshop
– eBooks are for losers, stealing the magic and majesty of the printed book
– Blogging is impermanent, the end of thoughtful word processing
– Tweeting is stupid, the end of intelligent blogging
– Video is too easy, a cheap shortcut that destroys the essence of film
– YouTube has no curators, the end of quality video
– Selling by phone is for losers, closers show up in person…
Seth argues that "Technology almost always democratizes art, because it gives us better tools, better access and a quicker route to mediocrity." So in our case, it's exponentially easier to be a decent photographer given all the great tool on the market today, but, in our opinion, it's just as difficult to be a great photographer as it ever was. To be great, just as always, takes hard work. As Ashton said, "Opportunity looks at lot like work." Seems fair to me.
Seth sums it up well "… all this ending is leading to more and more beginnings, isn't it? It's not ruined, it's merely different."
We found this quote and feel it really captures our message:
"[Experience] is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing, and hearing the significant thing, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and coordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.– Aldous Huxley

Key Considerations Before Purchasing a Smart Light Bulb
1. What features are possible?
Various features are possible with a smart light bulb. If you're going to spend your money on them, you might as well make sure they have every feature you've dreamed of. Some smart light bulb features include:
- Color changing light bulbs
- Home security features
- Dimmers, timers and motion sensors
- Voice control with Siri or Amazon Alexa
- Control remotely with smartphone
- Integration with home alarm systems and smart home systems
2. How compatible is it?
Smart devices can't always connect with different brands of smart devices. Before you purchase various smart products, make sure they will work together to create the most convenient, safe home automation system possible.
Additionally, you need to determine which WiFi protocol(s) your smart light bulbs use. It could be supported by one or more protocols including WiFi, Bluetooth, Z-Wave, and Zigbee.
3. What is the price?
Most smart light bulbs usually cost from $25 to $70, depending on their features, compatibility, and efficiency. Smart LED bulbs are much more expensive than incandescent bulbs with various smart capabilities. Luckily, their low energy usage will save you money over time.
A report from the National Association of Homebuilders said the average amount Americans easy ways to save money on utilities for even more savings.
4. Is installation easy?
Make sure your smart bulbs screw in simply. Also, determine whether or not your smart light bulbs require a smart hub to connect to an application in order to be used. If you don't want to buy a smart hub, look into smart outlets for a cheap alternative solution.
5. Is the bulb bright and efficient?
We used to mainly buy incandescent light bulbs with brightness measured in watts. With new energy-efficient LED bulbs, watts no longer measure the amount of brightness. These days, lumens measure the brightness of light bulbs while watts measure the amount of energy they use, according to Energy.gov.
For reference, a 60-watt incandescent bulb creates roughly 750-850 lumens of brightness. In relation, a smart LED bulb using 60 watts produces much brighter light than an incandescent light using the same amount of energy. A smart LED bulb would only use about a tenth of that number of watts for 750-850 lumens.
According to Rensselaer Alumni Magazine, LEDs offer better light quality and more efficiency than incandescent light bulbs. Many have even been updated to emit every color possible "without using filters." In order to save energy and money, you need a smart LED bulb using the least amount of watts to create the most amount of light.
According to Gartner, smart LED bulbs could lower your energy bills by up to 90 percent.
Smart Light Switches
A smart home light switch is another smart lighting option that requires more permanent and intricate installation. Here is a list of the top five smart light switch products to look into.
- WeMo Smart Home Light Switch
- Lutron Smart Light Switch
- Wink Relay Smart Light Switch
- GE Smart Lighting Control Switch
- Ankuoo NEO Light Switch
Smart light bulbs and smart light switches have most of the same capabilities. Ultimately, smart light switches are tougher and more expensive to buy and install than the best smart light bulbs. If you're looking for a permanent solution to unsustainable lighting, however, they may be perfect for you.
Color Changing Light Bulb Capabilities
A color changing LED bulb will offer unique settings and capabilities. Some of these capabilities include:
- 16 million colors to choose from
- Color-changing to suit your mood
- Match color changes with music, TV, and video games
- Wake up and goodnight color changing options
- Save your favorite color scenes and schemes for easy setup
I compared and contrasted numerous smart LED bulbs to compile an unbiased list of the top five smart light bulbs. After careful research, the list above contains smart lights with the absolute best features, compatibility, efficiency and easy installation.
During this process, I explored various smart light bulbs including LG smart bulbs, WeMo smart light bulbs, Lucero smart bulbs, Sylvania Lightify smart bulbs, MagicLight smart bulbs, and more.
Overall, I think the LIFX smart bulb is the best smart light bulb on the market right now. It is the brightest and most energy-efficient color-changing LED bulb I came across. In its 3rd generation, the LIFX smart bulb has only gotten better with time. It now offers more color options, features, efficiency, and compatibility than its past generations and any other smart LED bulb I examined.
Conclusively, the best smart bulbs will let you control your lights with the click of a button from your smartphone. Smart LED bulbs are more energy-efficient than ever with the ability to save you money on energy each month. They will undoubtedly make your home more sustainable and convenient than ever before.
Smart light bulbs are just one way you can integrate modern technology to create your own smart home. To take the next step, read our buyer's guide to smart thermostats and smart doorbell cameras.

I found all of the forms and documentation required for the down payment assistance program then made an appointment to turn everything in. They city would not accept it because we are not actually under contract yet. I told him that our lender told us we had to turn it in as soon as we could. He did, however, check to see that I had all of the correct forms and if not then I would know what to go find. Everything was there except having a contract on a house. He agreed to move our grant into priority status once we go under contract. Yeah! At least I made progress that day!! He assured me that he will be able to process our application in under 21 days instead of the normal 30-45 days. So although our grant has not been submitted, I made a huge step forward that day.
Later that day while I was making dinner, our real estate agent called me. Apparently the bank had looked at our First Offer. They neither accepted nor rejected our offer but instead wanted a new offer with the current date. My agent thought this was very strange so he called various brokers/ lenders/ other agents (I'm not sure who... But it seemed like several phone calls.) to ask what was going on and why the bank would be saying our offer was too old. The best he could figure out was that the people we are buying the house from did not date anything on the original offer. And therefore the bank wanted a current offer with dates on it. So we reprinted then signed the entire novel for our offer and gave it to our real estate agent. And now we are waiting. Again. It is like we are back to day one for the bank to begin reviewing our offer.
The only good news about waiting again is that hopefully we won't be moving right before/ during Casey's finals. We are trusting that Heavenly Father knows what He is doing and the home that is right for us will be available at the best time for us.

I can't help but imagine how sexy I would look if I wore clothes that Playboy playmates wear… I would be as hot and sexy as Kara Monaco, Tiffany Fallon and Carmella DeCesare. If you don't know who are they, I believe you haven't heard what's Playboy either. 🙂
I searched on the Internet and guess what… we can get these type of sexy costume at an online shop called Escapade.co.uk. They supply and sale all kinds of fancy dress costumes as far as your wildest imagination can go; anything from Little Britain costumes, and Hawaii themed costumes to the more fancy Playboy costumes. Out of all the Playboy costumes, my favorite would be the "Devilish hottie playboy costume". For £99.99, the package includes a pull-on jumpsuit with back tie closure, rhinstone horns and a rhinestone tail belt. The striking red color should look awesome on my great figure!
I believe you are tempted to try some nice costumes too. So, wait no more, head over to Escapade.co.uk and order one or two for yourself. Did I mention they have party supplies and wigs too?

For most, a Dbol cycle will only represent a small portion of a larger total cycle. For example, the most common point of use is to kick off a new off-season phase of growth. In this case, you would supplement with Dianabol for approximately six weeks along with your chosen steroids mentioned from the base section above. Once this six week period is over, your total cycle would continue without Dbol, but the base items would continue. This is the most common and popular Dbol cycle of all, but it's not the only one that's beneficial. Often forgotten, Dianabol is one of the best mid-cycle steroids we have; we're talking about mid-cycle use that aids us in breaking through a plateau; specifically, plateau busting. When you reach a sticking point, and you will, you'll need to provide some type of change to your diet, training or supplementation plan, maybe all three, and Dbol can be the change you need. It should be noted; if you used this steroid as a kick starter, you will need at minimum six weeks before you implement it again, and this means plateau busting is normally only going to be undertaken by hardcore advanced steroid users who are running extremely long and extensive cycles.

Wise words from Chuck Strahl...
Photo credit: Rhonda Moore (Twitter: @R_mmoore)
Last night, the Public Policy Forum recognized Chuck Strahl, a former federal cabinet minister and Manning Centre board member, for his contributions to public policy development.
After accepting a Peter Lougheed Award from the Public Policy Forum, Strahl shared the remarks below with the audience (check against delivery). We decided to post his comments and share them with a broader audience as Strahl touched on a very important point when it comes to public policy – Canada has succeeded because we have embraced democracy and the rule of law.
As Strahl notes, nebulous terms like 'social license,' and environmental radicals determined to block the Kinder Morgan pipeline and other development projects, could jeopardize our nation's ability to continue to grow and thrive going forward…
'Canada has always been a land of great potential, but sometime around the middle of the 20th century, a war-weary Canada seriously got down to the business of building a better country. And we became a very good country – not perfect, of course, but a good country that is the envy of much of the thoughtful and onlooking world. It wasn't primarily Canada's natural wealth or even our citizenry that made us better, it was really a series of public policy initiatives that set us apart. In those crucial post war years we chose a particular fork in the road- we chose democracy and the rule of law – and that has made all the difference.
I'm a political partisan, and I believe that certain public policies will strengthen Canada going forward, while others will make her weaker. Other political players and parties have different policies, and to be honest, sometimes their initiatives have proven to be at least as good as mine. But Canada has thrived despite – or perhaps because of – all kinds of different political leadership: Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Progressives, Social Credit – we even survived and thrived when a separatist Party held sway in Quebec. But always, always despite our differences on the public policy front, we became a better country because we believed in democracy, and we respected the rule of law.
Today, Canada stands at another crossroad. The path we've followed is no longer as clear or straightforward as it once was. Undefined 'social license' and political groupthink is replacing the rule of law, and because social license doesn't actually have a definition or any rules, we risk falling back to a time when the person with the biggest stick has the most authority.
Of course, we've always had local, provincial and national 'interest groups' and campaigns, and their presence is a reassuring part of the democratic process. The ability to pressure or influence our democratic institutions and leaders will always be a litmus test of a healthy society. But doing so while routinely ignoring the rule of law is both risky and reckless. It may seem like good fun or even effective in the short term to run roughshod over rules, regulations, and the rights of others, but democracy only works – long term – if we color within the lines of the law.
Which leads me to the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline to the west coast. Pipelines – like any infrastructure that travels through multiple jurisdictions – will always be controversial, which is why we have in place the toughest rules and environmental regulations in the world. The approval process is complicated, takes many years to complete, is properly expensive and thorough, but in the end, there are rules that apply to everyone. The "rules" extend right up into the Constitution of Canada, which unequivocally gives the federal government the right to approve a pipeline in the national interest. Which they have done.
So although the public policy issues are different, we are once again faced with a similar fork in the road. If project proponents – not just for pipelines but also wind and solar farms, mining companies, renewable hydro projects – or for that matter, residential land developers or high tech start-ups – do not believe they will get a fair hearing, that the rule of law has morphed into a 'malleable suggestion', then we will not build a better country going forward. Whether you like the project or not, we had better hope that Kinder Morgan starts and completes its properly and duly approved pipeline, because if it fails it will not be a victory for the environmental movement, it will be a failure of democracy and the further weakening of the rule of law.'
Public policy advocates know their ideas will not always hold sway. C'est la vie. But if the rules of the game are allowed to become 'there are no rules', then we should be very worried, indeed. Good public policy, fearlessly advocated, massaged by the democratic process, and then enforced by the rule of law will build a better Canada. We will not like nor recognize our country if it fails to choose this path.

The number of undecided superdelegates has fallen in recent weeks as both candidates have picked up support — Barack Obama more so than Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to a survey by The New York Times and CBS News.
Mr. Obama has gained the support of about 60 superdelegates in the last month while Mrs. Clinton added more than half as many. Still, just under half of the total 795 Democratic party leaders who will cast votes at the convention have not expressed a preference for either candidate. Some say they will vote according to their state's primary or caucus while others want to see how the next few months of the campaign play out.

My sweet little Lohena thinks he is a big boy! He is still sweet and cuddly, but he is run on curiosity and independence. If he is not jumping off the couch into the laundry basket, climbing the trees, golfing in the backyard, eating every one's food, reading a good book, then chances are he is asleep. He is the definition of BOY.
Today he decided that he too wanted to be a big boy. He made papa but the underwear on him, and he is so proud, he won't take them off. If only I could get him to use the bathroom!

Event was confidence booster
For some the Miss Showgirl contest is a fun moment in the spotlight, but for Judy Atkinson (nee Nicholson) it was a competition that opened many doors.
''I was inspired by a previous winner who was the first Aboriginal to enter into a Miss Showgirl competition,'' she said.
''I thought this would be an exciting event so I decided to purchase something to wear. I was only 17 at the time and working in Myers in Melbourne and travelled home the weekend of the show to enter in it.''
Although she'd purchased a white dress with red trimmings and a widebrimmed hat to wear on the day from a woman in Reservoir in Melbourne's north, Mrs Atkinson ran out of time to pick up the outfit before returning to Swan Hill, leaving her uncertain about what she would wear when she took to the Miss Showgirl stage.
''Early Saturday morning I was quite surprised when a motorbike came into our driveway,'' she said.
''I didn't realise it was (the shop owner's son) until he removed his helmet. He was one of the motorcycle police officers representing the Victorian Police in the show parade.''
Mrs Atkinson ultimately finished third in the competition, but it inspired her to enter a number of future competitions.
''It certainly gave me more confidence,'' she said.
During the 1970s she entered into the Miss Greater Union Theatre competition and was interviewed on Channel 7's talk show Two on the Aisle.
Mrs Atkinson said she also had a unique experience during a Fashions on the Field competition at the Melbourne Cup in the 1980s, when she was photographed by a Canadian newspaper photographer wearing her white, green and gold ensemble, inspired by the America's Cup boat race.
Now living in Echuca, Mrs Atkinson said she was focused on supporting the next generation.
''I encourage young Koori girls to take pride in themselves, walk tall and be proud of who they are,'' she said.
''I hope my involvement in Miss Showgirl might have helped to break down a few barriers.''
■ The RASV is looking for former Miss Showgirls to celebrate the competition's 60th anniversary. Contact Annette Shiell by email at email@example.com or by phone on 9281 7427.
■ To share your showgirl story with Country News, phone Alana Christensen on 5820 3237 or email email@example.com
Three beauties . . . Third placed Judy Atkinson (nee Nicholson) with second placed Jenny Krahnert (nee Shannon) and Miss Showgirl winner Sue Duguid (nee Gleeson) following the 1969 Miss Showgirl competition in Swan Hill.

The Therapies
The therapies I offer are designed to complement, not replace conventional treatment. If you have a medical condition you should consult your doctor before attending an appointment with me. You should also be aware that as each person is an individual, I can never guarantee the outcome of any therapy. However, I do offer therapies that have been linked to relevant medical research.
Massage is used by people for a variety of reasons. Some women use it to simply relax and unwind; others use it for many differing emotional, physical and mental health reasons, to help them cope and manage their specific problems better.
Evidence for the benefits of massage suggests it may be helpful in:
Swedish Massage - is the most common and well known form of massage. Using oil or lotion, the Swedish technique uses long, soothing strokes to aid blood and lymph circulation, toxin release, ease aches and pains, and promote deep relaxation.
Pregnancy massage - is performed in a fully supported side lying or semi-reclined position, using many pillows for comfort. The massage table with cut-out holes for the abdomen is not used, because lying face down puts an unhealthy strain on the lower back and uterine ligaments.
Auricular Acupuncture (ear acupuncture) - has a number of benefits, including helping those with PTSD. Clients receiving the treatment report stress reduction, improved mental clarity, improved energy, better sleep, fewer headaches, less anxiety and depression, reduced pain and improved general health.
Ear (auricular) acupuncture is based on Acupuncture Theory where a single part (the ear) is used to treat the whole body. Modern western medicine believes that ear acupuncture works by affecting nerve impulses and the central nervous system - functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appears to support evidence of this. Auricular acupuncture is a microsystem of acupuncture, a specialised therapy where acupuncture points on the ear are treated using either very fine, single use needles or seeds.
Clinical reflexology - uses the theory that the organs, nerves, glands, tissues and blood vessels are connected to reflex areas or reflex points on the feet and hands. Through compression techniques and massage with the thumbs and fingers, a direct response can be achieved in the related part of the body. Reflexology can help to relieve anxiety and tension, improve mood and aid sleep, though some people use it to help them cope with more specific health challenges. Reflexology is often used alongside conventional care in hospices, hospitals and other healthcare settings, to help support patients with a variety of conditions.

STELR resources feature at Indonesian Education Expo/
Earlier this month the STELR Renewable Energy Kits were demonstrated at the 2015 Bontang Education Expo from 9 – 12 November. Bontang is a city on the island of Borneo in the East Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. Teachers from two schools in Bontang received class sets of STELR Renewable Energy kits through a generous donation made by STELR's principal sponsor, Orica. The two schools were chosen for sponsorship due to their proximity to Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia , an ammonium nitrate manufacturer which is a joint venture between Orica Investment (Indonesia) Pty Ltd and local partners.
The teachers from SMP IT Darrul Hikmah and SMPN 1 Bontang had recently attended training (see Engagement with Asia, STELR News September 21, 2015) and enthusiastically promoted the STELR equipment to visitors to the Expo.

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
2 Corinthians 4:16
I hate to be a party-pooper, but you started dying the day you were born. At least your physical body became susceptible to disease, decay, and deterioration.
While your physical body is dying, your spirit is being renewed every day. We are eternal beings—spiritual beings. Our bodies are only temporary.
God renews our spirits each day, giving us a fresh infusion of His life to sustain us. God gives us the breath of life—His Spirit—to renew our spirits.
Are you feeling spiritually barren? Give God permission to do spiritual work in your life to bring about renewal to your spirit. Keep seeking God and you'll begin to feel the refreshing wind of change in your spirit.

Our Beach Horses
Experience a horseback riding and swimming adventure of a lifetime with our majestic beach Gypsy Drum horses and Gypsy Vanners in Bradenton and St. Petersburg, Florida. Our beautiful horses are one of the rarest breeds and are well trained to ensure you have a great ride.
Our horses' health and well-being are our top priority. We make sure our horses are in perfect health and fitness. The horses only work a limited time and are rotated so each horse has several days off each week. These horses are never abused or made to work, they actually love their jobs. Occasionally we come across a horse that may not like to swim, and if that happens it is removed from the tours and is retrained in another discipline.
For the safety of our horses' health, water temperatures must be at least 70° to swim with the horses.
The first thing you will notice is the breathtaking beauty and serenity of the horses. Long flowing manes and tails, and of course those feathers. Happy horses munching on high-quality hay and sipping on fresh water while they patiently wait to meet their riders. Of course you may bring carrots to share with these beauties after your ride. These are not just an ordinary horse, this is an once-in-a-lifetime breed and adventure. I am sure you will love your horse almost as much as we do. Come meet our babies.
90% of my horses are purchased from terrible environments, major health and skin conditions. I say I don't find these horses…they find me! I found that the ocean really helps heal most of the feather conditions that are caused from neglect and bad breeding. It is my journey to try to save as many of these horses as possible . Most have been brought back to perfect health, but unfortunately we had one recently we could not save. My beloved Panda has crossed the rainbow bridge . I purchased her with canker in her hooves. After a 2 year battle with weekly visits to our vet, Panda lost her battle. She now swims in the clouds in her heavenly ocean.
Your rides help support every new horse we purchase. Our next is a beautiful stallion Wahoo who is soon to be gelded so that the ocean may heal his horrible leg conditions . So not only do you have a great time riding our horses, you also help contribute to save and care for this majestic breed.
So what is a Gypsy Drum? Actually named after a "job" performed by the horse, the Drum Horse is an important member of the Queen of England's Band of the Life Guards. These horses carry two large solid silver kettle drums, plus a fully outfitted rider, through crowds of thousands during the Queen's processions!
Drum Horses must be strong enough to carry the weight of the large kettle drums and the drummer, often in excess of 300 pounds. They must also remain calm and sensible in crowded environments during ceremonies. It takes a very special horse to fill such a prominent role in the Queen's Household Cavalry. As we have no Queen's processions, Drum Horses are being redefined in America for use in various ridden and driven disciplines. They combine the size and stature of the Shire and Clydesdale with the color and hair of the Gypsy Horse to create an animal that possesses the best traits of each breed.
Because of their quiet and disciplined nature, Drum horses are excelling in many equestrian areas, and it's thanks to their background and general demeanor that they make such great companions for our purposes. When viewed in person, this magical creature of history will render you speechless. They are unlike any other breed in the world!

After picking up our son at the Dublin Airport, we headed northwest to County Mayo. It was a 3 hour drive. We met the husband of the owner of our rental vacation house in a tiny town called Ballyvarry. We then followed him to the house -- down the road to Carrowkeel, down another road, past a campground and down another long country road. We arrived at the rental house and was greeted by the owner Ann Marie who had brought us a homemade cake called "treacle".
We were given a tour of the beautiful house with hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer. The backyard was large and very green. The view out the front windows was mesmerizing. During our three day stay at this house, I often stood by the window and gazed at all the beauty of the countryside.
My 2nd great grandparents, Thomas Chambers and Ann Kilroy Chambers raised their family in the townland of Letter (not more than 15 minutes away) in a rural setting, probably much like Carrowkeel.

It's been rather a sporty weekend (I don't mean me! Unless 5 minutes of table tennis counts). First there was the Grand National – which you couldn't have missed – and the US Masters was also on (that one might have passed you by but if you live in a golf-centric household like me, believe me, you'd have noticed).
It's made me think. Whether or not you're interested in sport, as writers, we're interested in people, right? And there are always great 'human interest' stories around big sporting events.
Take this year's Grand National. One of the favourites was called 'Definitly Red' (yes, written that way because the person who registered him couldn't spell it. But 'definitely' is, apparently, the most misspellt word in the English language. I had a colleague who used to reply positively to emails with 'Yes, defiantly!' which always made me smile).
Anyway, Danny Cook, who rode 'Definitly Red' in Saturday's National, comes from a family of electricians and landscape gardeners, didn't start riding until he was 16, once rode a race with a broken leg, has taken the wrong course on a racetrack three times and been banned for taking drugs. Not the likeliest of jockeys! (And quite a character…).
Another story: the two women who've been friends since school – Belinda McClung and Deborah Thomson – who own the horse that was the winner on Saturday – 'One for Arthur'. They bought him because they wanted an activity that they could enjoy while their partners played golf. Apparently, you have to have a partnership name, so they came up with 'Two Golf Widows' (hmm, if I had several thousand pounds to spare, I could have been in that club too).
And talking of golf, yesterday's winner of the US Masters, the Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia has taken 18 years – and 73 previous attempts – to win a major. Lots of people thought he'd never do it ('the habitual bridesmaid') because although he's a fine golfer, he can't take the pressure of big events.
Five years ago, he said this, "I'm not good enough. I don't have the thing I need to have. I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place." Ah, bless, we've all been there.
Yesterday, when he won, would have been his mentor Seve Ballasteros' 60th birthday. The stars were aligned. He did it. The BBC called it possibly 'the perfect sporting story'.
Aw, I love it.
I wrote a story set during a swimming race, once. It did rather well – two shortlistings and, finally, third place in the Wells Festival Short story competition. I suspect part of the reason if found favour with the judges was because it was a bit 'different'. Being original, finding an unusual subject matter or angle is, I think, half the battle when you're entering a short story competition.
So, if you're wondering what to write about, perhaps you could write about sport? Those freezing days out on the hockey pitch, getting whacked on the ankles. Or did you play rugby or something more unusual, like lacrosse? (or is that only in Enid Blyton books?) or hopscotch or belly dancing?
Here are 10 tips on writing about sport, to get you started.
On your marks, get set… GO!

VB-Reminder allows to notify the user on the planned affairs. Also this program rescues kitchen teapots, plates, conscience. When there comes notification time (in our example it is 10:58), on the darkened background, over all open windows the message will appear. The notification is made in such a way that the user would switch the attention and will be able to see the message.
VB-Reminder can be sent to the system tray once a notification has been configured, so you need not worry about it getting in the way of your other activities. Moreover, the program can start the configured reminder automatically once it is minimized. This function is very helpful, as it makes it impossible to forget to activate the alarm before hiding the application. When the notification is displayed, the background is dimmed to ensure the reminder captures your attention. It also stays on top of all other windows, so it does not matter what you were doing at the time.

The first step is offering or surrender. We begin the meditation by offering everything that is in our heart. Whatever we are busy thinking about during our day is what we are carrying in our heart. Maybe we are preoccupied with work, health, or a relationship. Whatever we are constantly thinking about is what is keeping our heart occupied and our mind busy. Our busy mind is the overflow from a crowded heart. As we offer, we begin to empty our mind, let go and open our heart. The busy mind gradually becomes still. Our awareness is returning to our heart, soft, free, infinite and naturally calm.
We offer our worries and desires, our judgments, our likes and dislikes. We do not have to carry so much inside of us. We are offering what is in our heart to the great silence, the universe, God, whatever we want to call the greatest love. Our habit of constantly thinking is slowing down, slowly changing.
Offering leads to acceptance of our humanness as we continue to let go.
The second step is to go deeply within our heart and receive. Underneath our busy mind is the beauty, the landscape of our heart. Here is a great space, a valley of lightness, a reservoir of calm, an ocean of peace. We bring our awareness to the depths of our heart. We practice receiving. Our mental chatter recedes as we explore and receive the many qualities within our heart.
Our awareness expanding without end is a normal experience of people who receive the depths of their heart. Unencumbered by lots of thoughts, our awareness spreads into the limitlessness of our true being. Every meditation we are exploring this inner treasure, our own heart. Our heart is our source of trust, wholeness, gentleness and inner quiet.
It is infinite, free and is the great I Am that the sages speak of.

Testudo TYW - Isac Duhan
Today's addition comes from Sweden. Isac has produced some excellent work using the Testudo TYW figures to represent a Swedish pike and shot unit. These large 15 mm figures (18 mm anyone?) really capture the feel of the period and Isac's work on the flag only adds to the atmosphere.
There's a free TYW uniform guide available from Vexillia if you want more information and Isac has a basic web site which he's hoping to develop in the future. Worth bookmarking I think.

The jury is in, but are they really out?
Have you ever wondered what jurors discussed while behind closed doors? Do they take the case seriously or are they just ready to go home after a weeks of endless back and forth between attorneys. Recently, a criminal case was presented to jurors about a man who had killed his wife in his sleep. The story gripped the seaside town and had to be moved to a different county to ensure a more fair trial. During the trial, the defense asserted the defendant, who was visibly distraught all through the trial, was suffering from parasomnia – a sleeping disorder that includes sleepwalking and night terrors.
The prosecution presented the 911 confession from the defendant when he called for an ambulance, but not much else. The couple was retired, had no money troubles, seemingly happy with plans to go on a Hawaiian trip the following week. The job for the jury was to decide if the husband had planned and carried out this murder – 1st Degree or a tragic accident – Manslaughter or acquit him altogether. In an effort to understand people's ability to work together when the stakes are high, seven of the twelve jurors agreed to participate in a study about their time deliberating. Here is a summary of what the jury talked about.
Juror #1 – Female 62
I learned a long time ago that according to Freud, dreams are the way the unconscious carries out what the heart wants. He wanted his wife dead. Plus he had the eyes of a killer. He's guilty.
Juror #3 – Male 24
We got the case right at noon. To be honest, all I cared about at that moment was my sandwich. I had ordered roast beef on rye and didn't know where it was. This guy had been dealing with his cockamamie story about knocking off his wife in his sleep for a year and a half, what's a few more minutes while I eat?
Juror #4 – Male 53
I felt I should be the foreman, but for some reason these bozos elected some woman who claimed to be a professor of law at the local community college. Give me a break, she's the last person we need injecting her liberal thoughts into the deliberations. When we took the straw poll, I voted opposite her.
Juror #6 – Female 19
I'm so excited. This is my very first time serving as a juror. I want to go over every bit of evidence, listen to the 911 tape again, and read through the expert's testimony. If I'm going to put someone away for life, I want to feel good about it.
Juror #7 – Female 29
First of all, juror #6 was getting on my last nerve. Okay. And does she even own a full length mirror? Let's just say some of the men were paying more attention to her legs and cleavage than the testimony. And she wanted to talk about Every. Single. Detail. Because of that bitch, we were sequestered overnight. I would have voted any which way to get out of there.
Juror #9 – Male 80
From day one I thought the husband was guilty. He did it. End of story. But I was enjoying the time away from my crazy daughter's house with her bratty kids and didn't want it to end. When I learned we might stay the night in a motel because of the shikse girl juror, I changed my vote to undecided. Finally, a good night's sleep!
Juror #11 – Male 35
I am surrounded by stupid people. It's so obvious the guy didn't mean to kill his wife. Hey, accidents happen. If an accident happened to my wife, like if she fell out our speedboat or fell off a cliff while hiking, I'd want people to believe me. But these people kept getting hung up on the husband's "confession." The fact is, people say crazy things under stress.
The study concluded that generally people care more about themselves than someone who could potentially lose their right to freedom. A mistrial was eventually declared.

If you've ever read the back of your pet's food package, you know how many ingredients there are. Many of these things are hard to pronounce, let alone understand. Let's face it: the topics of nutrition and weight control can be confusing, even for the most seasoned pet owner. If you need a little guidance in this area, you're not alone. More importantly, Falls Village Veterinary Hospital is here to help with our professional nutritional guidance and weight management services.
What your four-legged family member consumes can mean the difference between simply surviving and truly thriving. Yet with literally hundreds of different foods to choose from, figuring out which one is the right fit can be challenging. Our team is knowledgeable and experienced in identifying the unique nutritional needs of each patient. We can assess your pet and determine just what food would be perfect for him or her. We'll even advise you on how much and how often you should be feeding your companion for optimum results.
A few extra pounds for a human may be no big deal but, for a pet, it can lead to serious health problems. Obesity can even shorten your best friend's life. That's why making sure that your pet maintains a healthy weight is so important. We can help by determining which range would be ideal for your particular pet and then developing a strategy for achieving that goal. Through things like proper diet, exercise and calorie control, we'll get your companion fit in no time!
As your pet ages, his or her nutritional and weight control needs will inevitably change. In order for us to continue achieving the desired results, we must make sure that our approach also evolves. At certain life stages, such as the transition from youth into adulthood, we'll evaluate our plan and make any necessary adjustments. This will improve the chances of your loved one staying in tip-top shape throughout his or her entire life.
Prescription pet foods can play a part in the management of many health issues such as weight, mobility, kidney, digestive, urinary and skin and coat health. New foods have been developed to help pets with multiple issues, such as weight and urinary or weight and mobility. We are proud to recommend and carry Hills, Royal Canin and Purina diets. Click on the icons below to learn more.
Let the team at Falls Village Veterinary Hospital design a customized diet and exercise plan to bring out the very best in your animal friend. Give us a call today to get started.
