HELENA - Dozens of people, including healthcare providers and foster parents, came to Helena on Thursday to register their opposition to proposed reductions in state Medicaid services.
The Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services has proposed wide-ranging rule changes for the state's Medicaid system, including a number of cuts in available services and reimbursement rates for providers.
Agency leaders say they have to make these changes after the Montana Legislature cut DPHHS's funding by $49 million last year to help close a $227 million budget shortfall.
"These are not funding reductions that any of us want to make," said DPHHS director Sheila Hogan.
DPHHS held a public hearing on the proposed changes Thursday. Many of the people who spoke said they were concerned the proposals would make it much harder for the most vulnerable Montanans to get the care they need.
"The proposed rules as written effectively eviscerate these critical services that help struggling families and often are key to keeping families together," said Beth Cogswell, executive director of Youth Homes.
One proposed rule would limit reimbursement for home support services, in which specialists work in-home with families whose children have serious emotional or behavioral issues.
Jim Parker of Western Montana Mental Health Center said the change could force the center to lay off seven home support specialists, who serve about 70 families.
"We no longer have the resources to do more while being paid less and still maintain evidence-based quality care," he said.
That reduction in reimbursement also affects therapeutic foster care, in which foster parents receive additional training to care for children with needs that can't be met in the regular foster care system. Foster parent Tom Bourguignon said he's concerned about what it would mean for the providers that currently offer that training.
"If they weren't providing those services, then families such as mine would have to go to the state to get the same services, or not receive those services at all," he said.
The rule proposals would limit the number of children eligible to receive targeted case management services. Only those with specific health conditions expected to last at least a year would qualify. Children born into high-risk families would no longer be eligible.
The proposed rule changes would also make substantial reductions to Medicaid's dental services. Adults would no longer receive coverage for crowns or for dentures. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment would be limited to people 20 and younger with specific conditions like cleft palate or serious overbite.
DPHHS leaders said the changes were aimed at reducing coverage of higher-cost procedures.
Joanna Wales, a dentist with Community Health Partners in Livingston, said dental services are especially important for lower-income people who receive Medicaid.
"You don't need subsidized dentures unless you've had a bunch of life circumstances go terribly wrong," she said, adding that receiving dentures can even help patients improve their chances of getting a job.
Many of the people who spoke at Thursday's hearing said they understood the state needed to reduce costs, but that they believed the reductions would force people to seek more intensive forms of care – costing the state more in the long term.
One group of care providers did voice support for the rule proposals.
Carl Roth, president of the Montana Optometric Association, said his members were in favor of a section limiting the number of eye exams and new eyeglasses that would be covered. Under the new rule, people over 21 would be eligible for one exam and one pair of glasses every two years, instead of every year.
DPHHS will continue taking public comments on their rule proposals by mail and online until Feb. 9. Click here to view the full list of proposed changes.

This day and age, it goes without saying that it's a good idea to read an ingredients label before buying a product. Many times I have been shocked by the preservatives and unnecessary additives that are put into foods, especially when they are labeled in a way that makes them seem healthy and all natural. If an ingredient looks like a rocket ship launch code, complete with numbers and obscure letters that don't actually form words, I put it back on the shelf immediately.
But what if the words you skip over because they look like real foods are actually harmful to your body? A common word that is brushed off, mostly because many people don't even know what it is, is carrageenan.
Are you having flashbacks to the box of ice cream sitting in your freezer, or your tube of toothpaste in the bathroom? That's right, carrageenan can be found in hundreds of different products. It comes from a natural source, so technically a product can still be called "all natural" if it contains carrageenan. The problem is that just because it's "all natural" doesn't mean it's good for you.
First, let's look at all the different names for carrageenan: Algas, Algue Rouge Marine, Carrageen, Carrageenin, Carragenano, Carragenina, Carragheenan, Carraghénane, Carraghénine, Chondrus crispus, Chondrus Extract, Euchema species, Extrait de Mousse d'Irlande, Galgarine, Gigartina chamissoi, Gigartina mamillosa, Gigartina skottsbergii, Irish Moss Algae, Irish Moss Extract, Mousse d'Irlande, Red Marine Algae.
Just a few to remember, right?
Carrageenan comes from boiling a type of seaweed that is commonly found in the Atlantic Ocean. It is used to thicken, stabilize, and make foods or products gelatinous. It has zero nutritional value and is purely used to hold things together, which is why it's often found in otherwise healthy products like yogurt and protein shakes. The main health concerns associated with carrageenan are gastrointestinal related. Those with gastrointestinal disorders like IBS are often cautioned by their physicians to avoid carrageenan whenever possible. According to Dr. Joanne Tobacman of University of Illinois School of Medicine, "Carrageenan predictably causes inflammation, which can lead to ulcerations and bleeding." Dr. Tobacman even found in her research with lab animals that carrageenan can be linked to gastrointestinal cancer.
The following is an excerpt from beyondpesticides.org regarding their conclusion that carrageenan is NOT healthy and should be banned from foods:
"Results from the 2005 Marinalg Working Group's tests clearly show that degraded carrageenan, a substance that is known to cause colon inflammation and is classified by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer as a "possible human carcinogen," was present in all samples of food-grade carrageenan. Therefore, all carrageenan should be prohibited from foods, especially organic foods." The full report is located here, and it is worth reading. It will make you wary of ever purchasing a product containing carrageenan again.
So where else can carrageenan be found?
- chocolate
- cottage cheese
- yogurt
- milk
- cheese
- ice cream
- almond milk
- soy milk
- rice milk
- deli meat
- toothpaste
- juice
- chip dip
- frozen pizza
- protein shakes
- salad dressing
- infant formula
The list could keep going and going. Thankfully, the Cornucopia Institute has put together a fantastic list of organic foods to avoid due to carrageenan as an added ingredient. It can be found HERE. If you would like to save the list to your computer for future reference, click here to download the PDF: Shopping Guide to Avoiding Organic Foods with Carrageenan.
If a product contains carrageenan, a company is legally obligated to put it on the ingredients label so thankfully that makes it not too difficult to avoid. From major organizations and groups to individual people, there are thousands protesting the use of carrageenan in foods, and you can help! Sign this petition to tell the FDA that you don't agree with carrageenan in your food, and there ARE other alternatives. Every person and every voice (or electronic signature) counts!

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure here.
The Mystery Penny Item at Publix for Wednesday 3/3 or Thursday 3/4, is:
Publix Cookies
You can get the Publix Penny item with any purchase that is $10 or more before coupons. There is a Mystery Penny Item coupon in the Wednesday or Thursday Paper every week . Some stores do not require this coupon, but many have changed and do require it now, check with your store to find their policy.
The Penny Item is now for one day only, and will be the day that the add starts in your area. This is Wednesday for all of SC and AL, and parts of GA, or Thursday for Northern GA.
Get all of this weeks Publix Deals and Coupon Matches! There is also a Yellow Advantage Buy Flyer (ends this Friday) and a new Green Advantage Buy with lots of other deals!.
**Note: FL and Coastal GA stores DO NOT participate in the Penny Item**
A thought… You will not get much closer to free, so if you don't need, like or want this item, then give it away. There are many folks that would probably love it!
Publix is my #1 store to shop at now( no lines/crowds like evil Walmart and Kroger in my area is small, cramped, and not so clean though I still shop there too I prefer Publix), but where is the best store/time to buy laundry detergent?especially for H.E. Machines..rarely do I see a coupon/sale for these.
I agree with you. Shopping at Publix really is a pleasure. Kroger always seems to be old, cramped and dirty. I'm looking forward to picking up the deals at the new one they are building right across the street from my neighborhood. As far as laundry detergent, I would be glad to hear anyone's suggestions too!
You really have to watch the ads for detergent. For example, this past week All Detergent was on sale at Kroger for $3.69 and there was a coupon in the paper for $2 off and a Kroger e-coupon also, so I combined the two and got it virtually free. The HE detergent (which I use) was included. At HG Hills (our local store) and Piggly Wiggly last week the Purex HE was on sale for $2.50 and there was a B1G1 coupon in the paper. So, with the coupons I had combined with the sales, I ended up with 7 bottles of HE detergent for less than $10. I'm stocked up enough to wait out for the next really good sale. I think that really is the key – getting stocked up so you can wait and take advantage of the sales combined with the coupons. There isn't any one store that is better for the HE detergent. I sometimes have trouble even finding it.
Recipe #1
1 quart Water (boiling)
2 cups Bar soap (grated)
2 cups Borax
2 cups Washing Soda
Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.
Pour the soap water into a large, clean pail and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.
Cover pail and use 1/4 cup for each load of laundry. Stir the soap each time you use it (will gel).
Recipe #2
Hot water
1 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
1 Soap bar
Grate the bar soap and add to a large saucepan with hot water. Stir over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
Fill a 10 gallon pail half full of hot water. Add the melted soap, Borax and Washing soda, stir well until all powder is dissolved. Top the pail up with more hot water.
Use 1 cup per load, stirring soap before each use (will gel).
Recipe #3
Hot water
1/2 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
1/3 bar Soap (grated)
In a large pot, heat 3 pints of water. Add the grated bar soap and stir until melted. Then add the washing soda and borax. Stir until powder is dissolved, then remove from heat.
In a 2 gallon clean pail, pour 1 quart of hot water and add the heated soap mixture. Top pail with cold water and stir well.
Use 1/2 cup per load, stirring soap before each use (will gel).
Powdered Laundry Detergent – Recipe #4
2 cups Fels Naptha Soap (finely grated – you could also try the other bar soaps listed at the top)
1 cup Washing Soda
1 cup Borax
Mix well and store in an airtight plastic container.
Use 2 tablespoons per full load.
Recipe #5
Hot water
1 bar (4.5 oz) Ivory Soap – grated
1 cup Washing Soda
In a large saucepan add grated soap and enough hot water to cover. Heat over medium-low heat and stir until soap is melted.
Fill a large pail with 2.5 gallons of hot water, add hot soap mixture. Stir until well mixed.
Then add the washing soda, again stirring until well mixed.
Set aside to cool.
Use 1/2 cup per full load, stirring well before each use (will gel)
Recipe #6
2.5 gallons Water (hot)
1 Bar soap (grated)
3/4 cup Washing Soda
3/4 cup Borax
2 TBS Glycerin
Melt bar soap over medium-low heat topped with water, stir until soap is melted.
In a large pail, pour 2.5 gallons of hot water, add melted soap mixture, washing soda, borax and glycerin. Mix well.
Use 1/2 cup per full load.
Recipe #7
2 cups Bar soap (grated)
2 cups Washing Soda
2 – 2.5 gallons hot water
Melt grated soap in saucepan with water to cover. Heat over medium-low heat and stir until soap is dissolved.
Pour hot water in large pail, add hot soap and washing soda. Stir very well.
Use 1 cup per full load.
Recipe #8
2 gallons Water (hot)
1 bar Soap (grated)
2 cups Baking soda (yes baking soda this time–not washing soda)
Melt grated soap in a saucepan with enough hot water to cover. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring frequently until soap is melted.
In a large pail, pour 2 gallons hot water. Add melted soap, stir well.
Then add the baking soda, stir well again.
Use 1/2 cup per full load, 1 cup per very soiled load.
Powdered Laundry Detergent – Recipe #9
12 cups Borax
8 cups Baking Soda
8 cups Washing Soda
8 cups Bar soap (grated)
Mix all ingredients well and store in a sealed tub.
Use 1/8 cup of powder per full load.
Recipe #10 – (Powdered)
1 cup Vinegar (white)
1 cup Baking Soda
1 cup Washing Soda
1/4 cup liquid castile soap
Mix well and store in sealed container.
I find it easiest to pour the liquid soap into the bowl first, stirred in the washing soda, then baking soda, then added the vinegar in small batches at a time (the recipe foams up at first). The mixture is a thick paste at first that will break down into a heavy powdered detergent, just keep stirring. There may be some hard lumps, try to break them down when stirring (it really helps to make sure the baking soda isn't clumpy when first adding). I used 1/2 cup per full load with great results.
Liquid Detergents Note
Soap will be lumpy, goopy and gel-like. This is normal. Just give it a good stir before using. Make sure soap is covered with a lid when not in use. You could also pour the homemade soap in old (and cleaned) laundry detergent bottles and shake well before each use.
*If you can't find Fels-Naptha locally, you can buy it online (check Amazon).
You can add between 10 to 15 drops of essential oil (per 2 gallons) to your homemade laundry detergent. Add once the soap has cooled to room temperature. Stir well and cover.
Essential oil ideas: lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil
*Admin Update: clarified instructions for Recipe #10 and liquid detergent notes.

I have looked three times through my paper and can not locate my penny coupon. Can you tell me where it is hiding? Thanks so much for this website! It is awesome!
My kids will be happy to hear this. They love free (or almost free) snackies!
Does anyone know where this coupon is in the Albany Herald, I looked last week and couldn't find it? I will try again this week in the Wed and Thurs. papers.
I really dont' like this move to Wednesday or how hard it is to find the coupon. My store will not give the penny item without the coupon, so at first I changed my shopping habits from Sunday to Wednesday, but now I have changed them back. No point in going out after work if I can't get the penny item anyway.
I wish they would change it back or at least stop requiring the coupon. Anyone else out there hate the change?
Sasha, I have done the same thing as you. Buying a $1 paper and paying a penny sometimes cost more than the penny item (ie. Publix Soda), so I usually end up just shopping on another day. Have you contacted corporate to make your suggestion?
I don't like it either; Wednesday is my least favorite day to shop; it is "hump day" and I have no time to plan my weekly shopping. I emailed and suggested staying with two days to use the coupon. Within a few days I got a call from my district's manager. He explained the reason for the change was so they didn't have to put out a Sunday supplement (supposedly expensive). I asked why they couldn't have just put the coupon alone in the Sunday paper; he couldn't tell me. If more people complain, maybe they will modify this! (I told him truthfully that I hadn't been to Publix for 3 weeks after being a weekly shopper… the loss of the mystery item tipped the scales in favor of Bi-Lo as my primary store.)

Publix is my #1 choice for shopping, but since I'm new to this system of couponing, I feel like I'm not shopping to my full potential. Can anyone tell me if any other stores in the Charleston/Berkeley county area allows stacking with competitor coupons like publix does?
In the Birmingham News, the coupon is located in Section A, Page 2 Lower Left corner. That is the normal location since the move to the Wednesday paper.
is the coupon in the newspaper or the store's ad they have there?
the coupon is in the local paper which you must purchase. unfortunately, you will not find it in the publix ad.
No coupon required for penny item in Spartanburg, SC (Main Street) but it IS required in Duncan, SC. I wasn't aware of this and went to Duncan today (typically go to Spartanburg) and the manager was willing to make an exception since the Spartanburg, SC Publix does. So it really never hurts to ask!!

Leveling efficiently in world of warcraft is something that is crucial if you want to enjoy the end game faster. Simply playing like a newbie is not going to get you to level 70 any faster. In this article I thought I would share some world of warcraft help that should improve your game speed tremendously. The first of these world of warcraft tips is centered around playing style. Most wow gamers tend to play with the same style. Typical game flow follows like this.
You are attempting to power level your way through a particular zone and you get stuck. It doesn't matter if it's because you forgot where that NPC character is found, or how to best play through a series of chain quests, at some point you get stuck. What is funny is that 95% of wow gamers now all follow the same suit. They find some tree or rock to hide behind so they don't get ganked and Alt+Tab out of the game. They either head to their trusty world of warcraft guide to find what they are looking for or to the ever popular wow online database. Sure it only takes a moment or two, perhaps even up to 30 second to find the information you need and you back in the game right? The problem is the mere tactic of Alt+Tabbing is inefficient. Here's why. If you were to keep track of exactly how much total time you wasted Alt tabbing in and out of the game and summed this all up over the course of several levels you'd be amazed at how much in-game time your wasting. So many WoW gamers talk about minimizing downtime in-between grinding but never consider the amount of time they waste by Alt+tabbing wow gold.
The second of my world of warcraft tips, quit using old outdated world of warcraft guides. You know the ones I mean there is no sense mentioning them; we all know the ones I mean. These world of warcraft guides had their place a couple years when the game was a lot fresher, but currently wow is an ever evolving game, and these old world of warcraft guides are just not what the doctored ordered anymore. Here's why. Most of them assume you are going to play the game as certain race and character class. Talk about boring. The world is already cocked full of Orc Hunters, and guess what this isn't the only class that can speed level despite what you have been told. Example, say you wish to play the game as an Undead Mage, for sake of argument let your friend start a character as the good ol' Orc Hunter. Now the guide says that it doesn't matter what race you are you can speed level using it's tips. Of course they say this, after all they want you to buy their world of warcraft guide don't they. Here's what actually happens. You and your friend start the game at the same time, you as the undead mage has to run all the way over to brill, wait for the zeppelin, fly over to the other side of the world and run all the way south till you get to the Orc starting zone. It should be of no surprise when you get there, that your friend is already level 5 or more. A huge advantage. But not exactly what I would call efficient gaming for you now is it?

Aerospace engineering research at ÉTS
The aerospace industry is considered to be one of Québec's major economic sectors. In fact, Montréal is the only place in the world where it is possible to find nearly all of the components required to build an aircraft within a 30-kilometre radius. This state-of-the-art research sector is seeking qualified and specialized workers.
The Master's program with project prepares engineers and professionals for a career in the aerospace industry. These students specialize in one of the concentrations that are offered, namely Aerospace design and production, Avionics and controls, or Virtual environment.
The program is offered on a continuous full-time or part-time basis (with activities available during the fall, winter and summer terms). The focus is on the acquisition of high-level knowledge specific to the aerospace sector, along with more targeted competencies and skills in the student's chosen concentration. Toward this end, the program includes case studies, industrial internships and application projects.
The Master's program with thesis trains specialists in the field of aerospace engineering who have a propensity for designing, manufacturing and modeling components or for simulating aircraft operations. Graduates have the competencies required to determine the aerospace technology needs of companies and to respond to these needs. Students who enrol in this multidisciplinary program acquire advanced knowledge in one or several fields, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering and automated manufacturing engineering.

An example of aerospace engineering
Composite materials consisting of framework and cladding now compete with traditional metals in the aerospace industry. The framework made from carbon fibres provides the strength (reinforcement), while the protective cladding, which is referred to as the matrix, is generally made from a plastic material, and is designed to ensure that the entire structure remains cohesive.
There are many benefits to using composite materials instead of metals: lightweight, mechanically and chemically resistant, less maintenance, easier to mould. Whenever the weight of an aircraft is reduced by 100 kilos, it is able to take on additional passengers or decrease its greenhouse gas emissions.
However, it is more difficult and expensive to tool composite products than metal. When these materials are being tooled, the fibres must be cut without compromising the resistance of the parts and without damaging the surrounding areas. In addition, the abrasive nature of the fibres represents a serious challenge for cutting and grinding tools that have not yet been fully adapted to fibrous materials.
This is where the expertise of Professor Jean-François Chatelain has proven invaluable. His project involving the optimization of tooling processes for graphite-epoxy composites and multi-layered materials aims to develop effective methods for cutting, piercing and tooling surfaces of parts made from composite materials. The challenge is to produce tools and processes that are economical and fast, and that meet the quality requirements of the aeronautics industry.

My favorite photos of couples are when they are caught in mid laughter. I'm talking about the ugly laughter where their whole faces are distorted by the uncontrollable outburst of genuine emotion. There is just something most special about it. It forces you to imagine all the quiet moments they must share and to think about how so many of those moments aren't captured in photographs. It's beautiful.
P.S. Kayla and Joseph got engaged and they make each other laugh a lot.
Here's proof.

Three contestants vying for the Chief Minister's post……
By Siva Sivapragasam
The coming Tamil Nadu elections next month will see a three cornered fight between incumbent Chief Minister Jayalalitha, DMK leader and former Chief Minister Karunanithi plus cinematic idol Vijayakanth – all three vying for the Chief Minister's post.
Since 1967, either of the two Dravidian parties has been ruling the state. The fringe parties used to wait at the doorstep of the AIADMK and the DMK to get seats. Now, a new front under Vijayakanth is shaping up and projecting itself as an alternative to both. Nicknamed"Karuppu (Black) MGR" or Captain after his movie "Captain Prabhakaran", Vijayakanth has acted in over 150 Tamil movies.
The Tamil Nadu legislative assembly election will be held on 16 May 2016 for the 234 seats of the Legislative Assembly. In the previous election in 2011, the AIADMK, under the leadership of Jayalalithaa, won a majority and formed the government.
Taking into account the present political scene in the state, the AIADMK doesn't have any strong allies and it holds on the charisma of party supremo Jayalalithaa alone to win the forthcoming elections. She is no doubt a strong candidate in spite of several allegations of corruption and nepotism. She has recently stepped up her image by opening several "Amma" restaurant outlets retailing food at lower prices. In addition, there are "Amma" theaters for movie goers offering cheap tickets. But it is rumoured that her health condition is preventing her from participating in vigorous open election campaigns. Also, there appears to be some splits within the party.
Movie stars have always dominated the Tamil Nadu election scenario during the recent past. With five chief ministers in the last five decades from the movie world, the way to the political power in Tamil Nadu is through building up star power.
Five of the state's chief ministers – C.N. Annadurai, M. Karunanidhi, M.G. Ramachandran (MGR), Janaki Ramachandran and J. Jayalalitha – had their roots in films, while several other actors showed an interest in politics.
In the next month's assembly elections, there will be three chief ministerial candidates — incumbent J. Jayalalithaa of the AIADMK, DMK president M. Karunanidhi and DMDK founder A. Vijayakanth — all with a background of Tamil film industry.

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario — Coquette has released its 2014 Main Collection — an expanded line symbolic of the company's 35th milestone anniversary.
Establishing itself in Kitchener, Ontario back in 1979, the family-run business has grown to compete on the international scale. Coquette is now the largest manufacturer and wholesaler of lingerie in Canada, and distributes its brand globally to 64 countries. Taking on the ever-changing fashion industry, Coquette aims to produce quality lingerie styles that meet the needs of today's trending markets, while recognizing the varying demands of each of its demographics.
"We are thrilled to be celebrating our 35th anniversary next year with our retailers," said Marcus Horea, vice president of sales and marketing. "This will be a landmark year with exciting marketing campaigns and launches that we cannot wait to introduce!"
The line which encompasses the Canadian lingerie brand's largest array of lingerie styles has once again outdone itself. The in-house designers have thusly shown their skills and ingenuity in their structural designs. The 2014 catalog pages are filled with jewel-toned images with a variety of textures through the use of different materials, sexy black designs, an extended accessories line, and the Coquette bridal line.
"This catalog stretches throughout the year and over the next four seasons," senior designer Elaine Carson said. "We therefore introduce styles that show off the expected trends for the year, including color, and any structural elements that are being seen in both lingerie and outerwear."
The new line will promote more styles in plus sizing that incorporate structural differences compared to their regular counterparts. The details include larger straps and modesty panels for added support, as well as wider garters. In some of the corsets and bustiers the design team has even added a few inches to lengthen the piece for further coverage and overall, a superior fit.
Coquette says the new styles will be in stores by March.

Spot On's brand new season of arts events will be hitting village halls and libraries across Lancashire next month.
This season we have programmed 18 shows to be performed in 30 different venues across the county between February and the end of May this year.
The programme features an eclectic collection of music, theatre, dance and spoken word as well as theatre for children and families, including international work from New York, Canada, Switzerland, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
We open with some thought provoking theatre from New York's Aizzah Fatima. "Dirty Pakistani Lingerie" will visit Lowther Pavilion in Lytham St Annes on Wednesday 24 February before heading to The Rainhall Centre in Barnoldswick in April.
There is a strong and varied musical offering this season featuring world music from The Baghdaddies in Clayton Green, Tosside and Arkholme, African roots dance from The Anna Mudeka Band in Tockholes and Melling, and "western swing" from Canada's Woody Holler and his Orchestra in Mellor Brook and Scorton.
In addition, Bob Fox, star of the National Theatre's production of War Horse will perform songs from the play in Rawtenstall, Grindleton and Croston. Fox played the role of Song Man in the hit stage show and is now considered one of the finest exponents of storytelling through music.
For those looking for something a little different there will be fantastic family entertainment from Circus Berzercus, who bring their hilarious and highly-skilled circus show "A Mismatch Made In Devon" to Burnley and Tockholes in February.
Spoken word fans are in luck too as Debs Newbold's powerful storytelling, combining the poetic and the irreverent, comes together in "Lost In Blue" at Ingol Library and Cowan Bridge.
Adding some further international flavour to the season will be the incredible Tribhangi Dance Theatre from Johannesburg, South Africa for one night only at Lowther Pavilion in Lytham during May.
Theatre features heavily in Spot On's programme and includes Pentabus' topical play about fracking "This Land", which is certain to get audiences talking in Bleasdale and Blackburn.
The thoughtful and funny one-woman show "Becoming Hattie" travels to Arkholme and Aughton, Peter Macqueen's charming one-man show "The Professor of Adventure" heads to Halton, Simonstone and Euxton, and Box of Tricks' brilliantly immersive play "Chip Shop Chips", in which audiences indulge in a fish and chip supper, visits Calder Vale, Lytham and Hoghton.
May will see a brand new piece of physical theatre from Animikii who bring their show "Origins" to Barnoldswick. This psychological thriller is based on the biblical tale of Cain & Abel and has been developed by The Lowry in Salford.
There's a strong offering for young children and families throughout the season too with three different shows. Lancaster Library will host "Bardolph's Box" on 2 April, which offers a nice introduction to Shakespeare for children over eight.
Little Angel Theatre will then take their show "Handa's Hen", for ages 2-6, to Bacup and Ormskirk libraries before Theatre Fideri Fidera's Swiss show "Pitschi – The Kitten With Dreams" travels to libraries in Heysham and Preston.
The season draws to a close on Friday 27 May with Rebecca Perry's "Confessions of a Red Headed Coffee Shop Girl" coming all the way from Canada for one night only at St. Joseph's Parish Hall in Hoghton.
Speaking ahead of the season launch, Spot On's Sue Robinson said:
"We're particularly excited about the number of international artists we have performing this season as well as the incredible homegrown talent. We're delighted to be able to bring such a wonderful array of shows to people's doorsteps whether that's in a rural village hall or a library. Roll on 24 February!"
For more information about any of the shows call Sue Robinson on 01254 660360 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

About Hans Strand
Hans Strand, born in 1955 in Marmaverken, Sweden. In 1990, after a nine-year career in mechanical engineering he decided to devote his life to landscape photography. Its a change he never regretted. Hans has always felt himself drawn to the untamed and unmanipulated emotions and expressions that he finds in nature.
He often says: "The wilderness is the mother of all living things. It is always true and never trivial". Hans work takes him to diverse places worldwide; from polar deserts to steaming rainforests and expansive deserts. The internationally awarded landscape photography is seldom a portrait of a place, but an expression of forces that create and mold a landscape. Hispictures, frozen in a static frame, still tell a story of movement, time and evolution. Lately his photography has also taken a course away from the untouched and wild nature and focused more on people´s influences on ecosystems. Photographs of water pollution and the visual magic of manmade agricultural landscapes have become an important ingredient in his in recent work.
Hans Strand is frequently published in international photo and art magazines and his work has created a worldwide following. He has won thirteen international awards, including the Hasselblad Master Award in 2008. He has published seven books, often with themes relating to the environment and peoples relations to nature and landscapes.
Manmade Land comprises three series in which landscape photographer Hans Strand for the first time directs his camera towards landscapes which display the result of human interference in nature. At first glance, the result is stunningly beautiful, almost painterly images. However, on closer inspection, we recoil and sadly realize that our earth and its resources are now more manmade than natural. Read More
ManMade Land
Ever since man became Homo Sapiens we have manipulated and undulated the world we live in. The big changes came with the development of agriculture some 7000 years ago. The land around the Mediterranean Sea got deforested by man and great erosion problems started as an immediate consequence. The fertile soil was flushed away by rains and left was just bare rock. In Spain there was still soil enough which could be used for farming. The problem here was the lack of water in the dry climate. To use the land in the best way, farmers started to grow the crops during the winter season, this when the precipitation was enough the make the crops grow. They then harvested in the spring before the soil got too dry from the summer heat. In many areas of Spain this way of dryland farming is still practiced. It is a sustainable method, since no irrigation is used. Still the land is more or less completely consumed for farming. Specially in the provinces of Andalusia and Aragon there is almost not a single square meter which is not tamed and undulated by man and used for farming. This has resulted in huge monocultures. The diversity of plants which once grew here is erased and gone forever. From the air this land look both scary and fantastic at the same time. From an artistic point of view it is specially unique. The farm fields have taken on incredible shapes and patterns and you can easily make parallels to expressionistic art. The farmers, of course had no aesthetic intentions when they reshaped the land. The shapes of the fields are just results of the topography and the farming technics.
My love affair with Iceland started in 1995. At that time Iceland had not yet become the fix star for tourism as it has become today and few photographers had been there. I spent 3 weeks driving around the island on bumpy dirt roads and did several hikes into the highlands. The beauty of the landscape blew me away. I realised that 3 weeks of photography was way too short time to do this fantastic country justice. As a result I have now made a total of 30 trips and spent almost a full year photographing the island. I have criss crossed the landscape with 4W-drives and spent 110 hours shooting aerials from planes and helicopters. I have tried to avoid the most popular tourist locations. This to make my own interpretations of a unique landscape. On top of all these planned photography, I was also blessed with the opportunity to photograph the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in May 2010. An experience where the volcanic temperament of Mother Earth showed up right in front of my camera.
Iceland Above & Below
Hans Strand's stunning images of Iceland with a collection of images combining aerial views and studies from the ground and below. A result of almost 20 years of traveling to this fantastic volcanic island in the middle of The Atlantic. 'I have spent around 75 hours photographing from the sky and I have travelled several thousands of kilometres shooting landscapes from ground level'.

Home decor that is a casual, relaxed style and can reflect a nautical, tropical or beach style of decorating.....that is the Coastal look for your home!
Whatever emphasis suits your lifestyle and home, the look is fluid, easy-care and natural, like the inviting Beach influenced Coastal Style bedroom shown above.
Close your eyes and visualize a sunny, breezy day on the beach...water in various shades of blue and green, sand and shells, plant life, white fluffy clouds floating by, weathered wood decks bobbing in the shallow water, colorful Adirondack chairs awaiting guests...these are all the components of coastal decor.
Keep these elements in mind as you create your own unique interpretation of this casual style of living. Here are some ideas to help you get your plan moving.
Colors: remember the vision! Natural shades of tan and light brown, pale blues and soft greens, white and off-white, of course, perhaps an accent of putty, chocolate or deep shade of blue or green.
The overall look, though, is light and never heavy or oppressive. White is almost always present in homes with this decorating style.
Floors: Wood in it's natural state, tile, berber carpet...any of these selections will help create the coastal decor you desire. Scatter rugs in natural textures and textiles are always a good choice.
Furniture: Casual upholstery that says "come sit on me" is the look to create. Mix and match fabrics, but keep things relatively simple and uncomplicated.
That is the secret to this decorating style, whether you accent with a tropical, nautical or beach feel.
Nothing fussy, overdone or crowded in this style of decorating. The look of slipcovers fits right in with this casual style, and could breathe new life into a tired but functional piece of upholstery.
Case goods can be colorful, painted, weathered
wood, natural wood, wicker, vintage or a combination of all. Strive to
create an interesting, casual and un-contrived (is that a word?)
space... nothing too matchy-matchy about this style. The photo above from coastalliving.com is a perfect example of this...love it!
Lighting: You can have some fun in this area, and use vintage, themed, casual, flea market style table lamps...you get the idea. Stay away from staunch traditional types of lamps, as they portray a different feel than coastal decorating calls for.
Look for unique lighted ceiling fans that contain elements of your theme, as they will fit in well (picture the fan blades rotating slowly on a warm afternoon, the lightweight curtain panels at the windows ruffling ever so gently in the breeze they create).
Window Treatments: As mentioned above, window treatments are lightweight and casual, and could possess an interesting texture as well.
Some settings may benefit from no window treatments at all, as in the photo above.
Or, you might decide that plantation shutters, faux wood blinds or a simple roman shade will do quite nicely in your home.
Accessories: You can pull your space together with accessories, just be careful not to create a flea market with too many things going on in the room.
This style is not about how much stuff you can cram into a home. Rather, it is casual and relaxing, with space to move around and nothing that will take away from the feel, and hopefully the view, of the outdoors.
One approach to accessories and accents is to search for unique pieces for display on walls or tables, with just a few key elements to complete the look.
Celadon green is the focus of this Coastal Style Kitchen, and it is incorporated into several of the key finishes in the space. White corian countertops add brightness, and I love the custom painted chandelier in a shade of grapefruit pink! Very unique!
In contrast, this Coastal inspired Kitchen with a modern feel uses contrasts or dark / light to create a memorable style. The pair of large wicker pendant lights balance out the space.
Enjoy creating your relaxed and casual style home. Then, enjoy living in it!

The Serene Beauty of Sears Point Tidal Wetlands
One of the most beautiful, serene, and unusual places to hike in Sonoma County is along the tidal wetlands at Sears Point, part of the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
Serenity might seem surprising, given that trail parking is just south of the busy Highway 37/Lakeville Highway intersection, but once you pull into the parking lot and make your way to the trailhead, all those speeding cars disappear from sight and sound.
They're replaced by a vast expanse of tidal wetlands edging San Pablo Bay, an unimpeded sky, and a silence broken only by the melody of songbirds and the occasional exultant screech of a hawk. You can almost always see San Francisco in the distance, sometimes surrounded by fog and at other times glinting in the sun.
More than 200,000 acres of tidal wetlands once ringed San Francisco Bay. After the Gold Rush, as the region's population increased and its land was settled, the wetlands were viewed as a barrier to progress. About 90 percent of the bay's wetlands were drained, diked, and filled with soil to become farmland or to support buildings.
But attitudes have changed in recent decades, as climate change and sea level rise have become a reality. People have come to see the value of wetlands, which serve important purposes: they filter pollutants, sequester carbon, create a habitat for countless species (including endangered species), and — perhaps most important in an era of climate change — they create a buffer against storm surges.
The Sears Point wetlands were the focus of a 10-year marsh restoration project that ended in the fall of 2015, when Sonoma Land Trust breached the levee at Sears Point and allowed tides to return to 1,000 acres of land that had been diked off from the bay and farmed since the late 1800s.
On a hike here you'll get to see all of this — the newly-thriving, still-growing wetlands; the fabulous views; the incoming and outgoing tides; the fledgling marsh mounds and emerging growths of pickleweed; and the wealth of birds and other wildlife. (Download wildlife and habitat lists for the Refuge.)
Two sections of the Bay Trail converge at the Sears Point trailhead. The Bay Trail is a planned 500-mile path encircling San Francisco Bay; at this date, 345 miles have been completed. The newest section here, 2.5 miles long, is also known as the Eliot Trail; it heads east from the trailhead, skirting the bay. The older, 1.5-mile section heads west, ending at Port Sonoma. Combine them for an 8-mile round trip, or just hike a section of one.
There's also a third trail, about a mile long, that runs west and then south along a segment of the old levee. I walked out there recently and was mesmerized by the beauty and peace.
When I arrived at Sears Point I was intent on pumping up my Fitbit step count by hiking the full eight miles, but once I started walking toward the levee everything, including me, seemed to slow down. I stopped for a while to watch a family of ducks cavorting in the water, admire the stately elegance of an egret, and marvel over the pickleweed…
The tides were out, so instead of walking atop the levee I picked my way along the muddy ground a few feet below, but as I approached the breach I climbed upward. The tide was flowing in through the breach, visibly powerful and fast enough to put a shiver down my spine. Nature was doing what it's wont to do, and that's often just as scary as it is beautiful.
On the return I came up behind a man moving so slowly that I assumed he was in the midst of a walking meditation. I slowed and quieted my footsteps to pass without disturbing him, but he looked up and smiled as I moved by.
"Gorgeous place, isn't it?" I asked.
"Thirty minutes here," he said, "and I can feel all that stress just drain away."
My sentiments exactly. Come for a hike, and you'll see what I mean.

A Sense of History: The Relationship of Social Awareness to Human Relations in the Classroom.
Jones, Phillip E.; Retish, Paul M.
The results of two class surveys of students in a course addressing racism and discrimination in educational and social service systems are analyzed. The course objective was to help students develop the personal insight and analytical skills needed to synthesize information on human rights issues. The study indicated that the students were not very knowledgeable about issues affecting people culturally different from themselves. It is suggested that development of the cognitive skills necessary to improve human relations and create social change may be an abstract exercise for socially unaware students with little affective learning occurring.

Christmas is the one time of year when everyone can over-indulge. You can get away with having a three course meal with plenty of alcohol and still reach for the Quality Street. You can have things like brandy butter (literally Brandy + Butter, gross) to go with your pudding, and you can have champagne at breakfast time. There are no rules!
I love giving people homemade gifts at Christmas, firstly because I am broke and they are pretty cheap to make (saving to go travelling in my gap yah of course) and secondly because people love eating at this time of year so any food gift is well received. This week I have made three different cookies to give out to neighbours, grandparents etc and this is the first of them. They look incredibly Christmassy and if you still feel like you haven't eaten your body weight in chocolate by the end of Christmas, these surely will tip you over the edge…
Triple Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Makes 15
130g plain flour
60g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
300g soft light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g dark (70%) chocolate
100g white chocolate, cut into chunks
60g butter
100g granulated sugar
60g icing sugar
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Break up the dark chocolate into a bowl and add the butter. Put the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, set aside to cool.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarb of soda and salt together in a bowl.
- Whisk the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until combined. Fold in the flour mixture and the white chocolate chunks and leave the batter to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. It will be a the consistency of thick custard, but don't worry as after 10 minutes it should have thickened. Don't be tempted to put the mixture in the fridge!
- Put the granulated sugar and icing sugar in separate shallow dishes. Take an ice cream scoop full of mixture and drop straight into the granulated sugar. Once it is coated, drop this into the icing sugar. Roll the dough into a rough ball and place on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
- Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes, and leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.

"A number of people who used the kiosks felt their privacy was compromised because voting activities were displayed visually and could therefore be seen by anyone who was standing near the kiosk."
We made a comprehensive set of recommendations, asking that the ACT Electoral Commission implement iVote in time for the next election.
iVote represents a fully accessible means of recording a vote independently and in complete secrecy. Depending on personal preference, voters can use a computer, smartphone or telephone system, or speak with a call centre operator for assistance when placing their vote. The blindness and low vision community are supporting iVote and this is seen by an approximately eight-fold increase in participation between the 2011 NSW General election and the 2015 election.
"We also asked that the Commission strongly emphasise to political parties and independent candidates that they have a social and legislative responsibility to ensure that party platform information, candidate information and 'how to vote card' information is made available in a range of accessible formats," Ms Acutt confirmed.
We expect a response from the Committee later this year.
In the meantime, we will continue working with the blindness and low vision community, Electoral Commissions and legislators to progressively bring about a secret, independent and verifiable vote on a permanent basis.

Competition finalised for 7th Asia Pacific Screen Awards
The 2013 Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) has finalised competition entries for the 7th annual Awards. The International Nominations Council are currently deliberating in Brisbane ahead of the 2013 nominations announcement in November.
With an incredibly strong line-up of over 230 films from 41 countries and areas, including Academy Award® Best Foreign Language Film submissions from an unprecedented 19 countries, the 2013 competition reinforces the awards' position as the region's highest accolade in film, recognising and promoting the cinematic excellence and cultural diversity of the vast Asia Pacific.
Features in competition include films from acclaimed first time feature filmmakers such as Singapore's Anthony Chen (Ilo, Ilo) and Australia's Kim Mordaunt (The Rocket) who will compete alongside many of the world's leading auteurs, including Hong Kong's Wong Kar Wai (The Grandmaster), India's Anurag Kashyap (Ugly), Japan's Hayao Miyazaki (The Wind Rises) and Hirokazu Kore Eda (Like Father, Like Son), as well as Kim Ki Duk (Moebius) from the Republic of Korea and Asghar Farhadi (The Past) from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Features in competition for 2013 include films not only awarded within their own countries and areas, but also at the world's leading film festivals beyond Asia Pacific, with the line up including multiple award winners from Cannes, Berlin, Toronto, Sundance, Venice and Tribeca.
The Middle Eastern countries encompassed by the Asia Pacific region have a particularly strong number of entries this year, from countries and areas including Iraqi Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and the Palestinian Territories. The Islamic Republic of Iran alone sees no less than four grand masters of cinema in the competition, APSA Academy members Asghar Farhadi (The Past), Jafar Panahi (Closed Curtain), Mohammad Rasoulof (Manuscripts Don't Burn) and also Mohsen Makhmalbaf (The Gardener).
APSA Director of Awards Competition, Maxine Williamson is thrilled by the final competition: 'It's extremely satisfying to see the competition line up get even stronger year after year, and what is particularly rewarding in 2013 is the healthy number of entries received from the thriving APSA Academy, testament to the ever-growing strength of the awards.'
In addition to the many entries from APSA Academy members, the completed 2011 MPA APSA Academy Film Fund project, Maryam Ebrahimi's documentary feature film No Burqas Behind Bars, is also entered in competition, and is the third completed film fund project to enter the competition.
Brisbane's Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said of the close of competition: "This is a very exciting part of the Awards process, and I looking forward to announcing the 2013 nominees. It will be our great pleasure to welcome the nominees to Brisbane in December for this extremely prestigious international event."
The 2013 Asia Pacific Screen Awards ceremony will be held in Brisbane's historic City Hall on Thursday 12 December at a glittering event, with nominees and industry luminaries in attendance. Films are submitted to the awards across four categories; Feature Film, Documentary Feature Film, Animated Feature Film and Children's Feature Film.
The 2013 International Nominations Council are currently in Brisbane to determine the nominees in the six feature film categories of Best Feature Film, Achievement in Directing, Best Screenplay, Achievement in Cinematography, Best Performance by an Actress and Best Performance by an Actor.

I love handwritten notes. The physical act of scrawling on a page helps me to process my thoughts and remember important information. When I'm sat outside or stuck in a crowded space, it's also preferable to digging out my laptop.
I've adopted Evernote, but my account quickly looks neglected as I inevitably steer back towards a familiar pen and paper solution. Occasionally I'll transfer all of my notebooks across, either by using Evernote's in-app camera or simply typing out the most important parts. It's not ideal though and for months, I've considered buying an Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine (our review).
Earlier this month, Evernote announced an upgraded version aimed at business customers. Although I rarely wear a shirt and tie, I jumped at the chance to experiment with the stylish jotter and see whether it could bring harmony to my disjointed and disorganized note-taking process.
Moleskine quality
The original Moleskine notebook is an icon of the writing world. The second that someone plucks one out from their bag, you know exactly what it is. The compact design, black cover and high quality paper are instantly recognizable. Many companies have tried to copy the classic Moleskine design, but few come close to matching or surpassing the original.
The Evernote Business Notebook maintains these high standards, while adding a few flourishes for the digital note-taking service. The cover has a curious geometric design, with the Evernote logo in the top-right hand corner. Meanwhile, the elastic band and fabric bookmark are bright green, giving the design some much-needed color and contrast.
At 13 x 19cm, it's certainly one of Moleskine's larger products. Even so, the notebook is small and lightweight, which means it'll sit nicely in almost any bag or tucked under your arm. I had absolutely no criticisms about its design – this is a lovely notebook to use and carry around.
Private and public
For its new Business Notebook, Evernote has introduced a two-part system to each page. The top two-thirds are designed for public consumption, while the lower third is for private notes. The idea is that while you're in a meeting, you can write the most important information up top and keep your own personal thoughts and reminders contained at the bottom.
The two sections are clearly defined with a line break and two symbols on the left-hand edge of the page. I normally scribble notes in the margins, but I quickly learned to link important additions at the bottom with an asterisk.
When you've finished writing, you'll need to capture the page using the iOS app to sync it with your account. That's right, at the time of writing the Android app doesn't support the Business Notebook, although Evernote says support is "coming soon". It's a simple process in the iOS app though; just launch the camera feature, swipe across to the Document setting and hit the shutter button. I often write in a dark and dingy room (the harsh realities of working remotely), but I never had problems capturing the page. Black ink is certainly recommended, but in optimal lighting you can get away with other colors.
Inside the Evernote app, you can then find and open the page just like any other note. It's worth emphasizing that these are simply scanned versions of the original pages; Evernote Premium can interpret words and surface them when you search inside its apps, but it won't create a truly digital, typed-out version for you. This is where Livescribe really excels, although it's a far more expensive option than Evernote's Smart and Business notebooks.
By hitting the Share option, followed by Mail, Evernote will recognize that it's from your Business Notebook and give you two options: share only the top section, or the entire page. You can only select one, so to email the entire page to one group and only the upper section to another, you'll need to go through the process twice.
I was never frustrated by the experience though. Pages were clean, legible and cropped appropriately, and a few people were impressed that I had bothered to send over a handwritten copy. I'm not sure it has any meaningful benefits (other than proving it was your work) but who knows, the novelty factor might help you close a deal or land a promotion.

Blinc Mascara is the original tube-technology mascara. It's invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes for maximum amplification and hold, rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.
Blinc Liquid Eyeliner is the first and only liquid eyeliner that forms a water-resistant "layer of color" that binds to the lash line to provide a dramatic look and unparalleled hold. A lot of warm water and gentle pressure is all it takes for Blinc mascara and eyeliner to peel off effortlessly without leaving any residue.
