Gun Sales Hinge on Obama Re-Election
Cabela's, Other Retailers Prepare for Surge in Demand
As Cabela's Inc. prepares the selection of guns it will sell for the holiday season and winter hunting, the outdoor-gear retailer has two plans: one if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and one if he isn't.
The Sidney, Neb.-based retailer and other companies in the guns-and-ammo business say if Mr. Obama wins a second term they are preparing for a surge in sales—the same as they saw after he was elected in 2008—from buyers fearful the president would back policies to make buying a gun more difficult. If Republican challenger...

Orthodontext Reminders
It can be easy for patients to forget to put on elastics, change aligners, practice new hygiene habits and lots of other little things that are extremely important when it comes to finishing orthodontic treatment on time with an excellent result.
We have a trusted way to help with compliance, which is friendly and automatic, by using a third-party solution called Orthodontext.
It's fast and easy to get started with Orthodontext. When you or your child decides to have reminders sent, just let any of our team members know and we will take care of the initial sign up process. The kinds of reminders possible include elastics, bands, hygiene and anything else that's necessary. You can also choose on our website the days and times to have a reminder text sent to you or your child's phone.
As a patient learns to be mindful of the actions and habits that help them follow their treatment carefully, they can change the reminders they've signed up for. They're in control of the process, and they can choose to change the times that the texts are sent to them, the types of text reminders they receive, and even disable those reminders when they've gotten into the habit and no longer need them, or when those activities are no longer a part of their oral care routine. Orthodontext has been a great benefit to our orthodontic patients at Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics.

IGNITE Workshop // Styled Shoot in Poconos, PA/
I was so honored to be a part of the IGNITE Workshop this year! The Workshop is hosted by NJSpark which is a group of Christian women and photographers who meet to fellowship, study the Bible and encourage each other in business. We gathered at a farm in the Poconos for two days of learning, networking and shooting a gorgeous styled shoot with a greenery and gold theme. 37 photographers, 6 speakers and countless vendors got together to pull it off and it was an absolutely amazing time!
The styled shoot was featured on Red Oak Weddings last week and these are some of my images from the time spent during the workshop. Enjoy!
Photographers/Speakers for the workshop: Myself, Amy Rizzuto Photography, Mekina Saylor Photography, Cassi Claire, deborahannphotography and Jessica OH!
Vendors for the styled shoot: Florist - Kerry Patel Designs | Tables + Chairs - Beyond the Barn Rentals | Invites - Bella Carta Boutique | Hair + Make Up - Nancy Caroline Bridal Styling | Calligraphy Signs - Penned By Alice | Jewelry - L Priori Jewelry | Bouquet Ribbon - Honey Silks & Co. | Dresses - Rent The Runway | Videographer- TONEmedia | Unicorn - TJ Maxx | Donut Box - Antique

Last Saturday I was joined with 15 other women at a beautiful location north of Adelaide where we honoured a number of Celtic Warrior Queens as well as Goddesses who were renown for their displays of "feminine power" - being initiators of heroes, as well as defenders of their pride and tribal homelands.
The timing of this workshop could not have been any better as SBS had recently started to screen a series on Britain's "She Wolves", where historian Dr Helen Castor explores the lives of seven English queens who challenged male power and the fierce reactions they provoked. The first episode explored the lives of Matilda, who some 800 years ago, came within a hairs breadth of being the first woman to be crowned queen of England, as well as her daughter-in-law Eleanor of Aquitaine, who divorced one king, married another, only to lead a rebellion against him.

Featured On Episode
Band/Artist Name: The Fishermen Band
Recommended if you like: We play a lot of different Genre's, so its hard to answer that. There is no answer that is completely correct. Its Pop,Reggae, and Folk music, and then theres a lot of Rock, Reggae and then there's classical piano throughout it all. i think a mashup of Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, The Beach Boys,The Band, and Prince would be the most direct comparisons. but honestly, i think our sound is very specific to us. And its important to understand that the recordings of us that you hear are probably very different than our live show.
Band Members: Lindsay Austin Hough- Lead vocals,guitar Flip Hough Vocals, guitar,djembe Chris Compton drummer vocals. Brian Waitzman~bass, Andre Leonard Keys vocals
What part of the DC region is the artist tied to and how? Where is the artist's current home base if not DC : Flip and Lindsay Hough were both raised in west Georgetown DC, though the band has lived in Los Angeles and Austin respectively, Most of The Fishermen Band's career has been spent right here in Washington.
At least 3 interesting/entertaining facts about the band related to persons/events in Washington DC area: *we have only ever self printed our music and sold CD's intrinsically at shows for money, instead of releasing any songs to the internet(outside of the Someday single and our first album with Josh Insel "Vision" 2008).
*We have self printed a unique CD for every single show we have ever played in DC.
*Both lead singers are brothers from dc, born and raised here.
Anything else we should know, or you want to share: We've been at it a very long time. We're now old and crispy. But every time we try to end the band, people say dont. Sounds cheesy but our fans are the only reason we are still together. We've had an amazing career and we have an amazing fan base here in Washington, and honestly it took so long to build it that none of us feels right about walking away regardless of our personal successes away from the band. Our website is out of date and we are launching a new site this winter which will be ultra simplified with a direct download store, so there will be no middleman between you and the band. We've done most of what we've done as a band with a shoestring (a very shoestring) budget, so we are very proud of the fact that we've had so much success with so little in terms of resources.

I hope you're all well and had lovely weekends - what did you get up to?
I haven't got a lot to blog about today although I went to watch my boyfriend play rugby on Saturday and as it was colder than it's been in a while I decided to wrap up very warm in my parka jacket. I also stole my boyfriend's old beanie hat.
I didn't realise until I looked at this photo afterwards that the whole ensemble makes me look like a member of early 90's boyband East 17. Or a rapper. But I was nice and cosy so it had the desired effect!!
East 17
For anyone blissfully unfamiliar with East 17's body of work here is something to potentially make/ruin your day....
Please excuse the not great photo quality. I am slightly reticent about having my photo taken at the moment as due to being too busy with work before Christmas to get to the gym anywhere near as much as I'd like, stress-eating junk food from being busy with work then the usual feasting over Christmas I have put on quite a bit of weight.
I need to lose about 3/4 of a stone so am not feeling too body confident and so I have renewed my commitment to the gym with fervour, this also gives me a great excuse to leave work on time rather than staying late like I did last year. I went to my first boxercise class yesterday in a good few years and whilst I had fun I must've used muscles that hadn't been used to being used in a while as I am walking like a gay cowboy today!!
I'm also enjoying making healthy food but with exciting flavours and ingredients, so perhaps until I am feeling slimmer and happier having my photo taken I should instead do more recipe posts in case any of you are looking to shed some Christmas poundage too!!
Prior to watching rugby on Saturday I had to get my nails sorted out as my acrylics had grown way too long over the festive season and what with my rugby training re-starting tonight I have to have them much shorter.
I chose a suitably grey shade when it came to the polish, very apt for January I feel!!
Even though I am on a major health and fitness kick at the moment I am still allowed the occasional treat. So yesterday evening my boyfriend and I went for a lovely Sunday roast at The Royal Saracen's Head in Beaconsfield (one of my favourite local towns!). I was well behaved and had roast chicken with plenty of veggies and not too many roast potatoes so I felt I could allow myself a more 'sinful' dessert - of sticky toffee pudding!! And yes dear readers, it really was every bit as delicious as it looks in the photo.
My boyfriend who annoyingly doesn't really have to watch his weight went for the chocolate torte....
It was a good end to a nice and relaxed weekend!!
Happy Monday to you all - here's hoping the week goes well.

Questions on financial advise
Home › Financial Advisors › Questions on financial advise
I have to say Wci, thank you for your effort to create this website.
1. I noted in one of your lectures shared to us- one of the worst places to get financial advise- your #9 is Internet forums. I have seen a lot of financial bloggers and it gets too confusing. I also have found some gems of physician financial bloggers to follow. My personal rule since networth of the financial bloggers came up few weeks ago, I only check the ones who have more than I do.
2. Same concept, is it reasonable to ask an advisor what is their networth? If I have more than they do, why should I change my plans and listen to this person?Rogue Dad, M.D.ParticipantStatus: PhysicianPosts: 975Joined: 03/07/2016
I have no idea what your net worth it, but that number is meaningless without context and shouldn't be a sole determinant on who you read.
Amanda Liu was a great blogger who gave wisdom to many and who didn't have a ginormous net worth at the time of her passing.
If someone started residency off at neg $500k and is at zero at the end of residency, that person has something to teach you (hypothetically speaking).
Donald Trump has a net worth way above anyone in the blogosphere. Can't say he's the best guy to give you personal financial advice.
An alt-brown look at medicine, money, faith, and family
Amanda Liu is definitely an exception. Until now, I look at her posts and keep reviewing her posts.The White Coat InvestorKeymasterStatus: PhysicianPosts: 4637Joined: 05/13/2011
I think it's a reasonable question for a financial advisor. But I expect a lot more from a 40 year old advisor than a 30 year old advisor.
I don't think someone with less net worth is necessarily someone who cannot help you, but there is a certain value in getting advice from someone with more. At least you know they've been there and done that.

Helping Those Who Wear The White Coat Get A "Fair Shake" on Wall Street since 2011ZaphodParticipantStatus: Physician, Small Business OwnerPosts: 6339Joined: 01/12/2016
Problem with net worth is that it is a snapshot in time and without context. Someone with a net worth of -200k could be far better off from their age til retirement than someone with 10M right now. We dont know age, assets, or how they came into their money. Just because someone has a trust fund doesnt mean they know whats best for anyone else, in fact it'd likely be less since they dont have to (they still could) worry about it as much. I wouldnt take advice from a lottery winner or newly minted professional athlete, celebrity, etc….just makes no sense.
What does a net worth of 0 mean? For one person they could have just finished paying down their student loans and will start building retirement accounts and a house down payment. For another it could mean they have 7 figures of assets balanced with liabilities at that exact snapshot in time. These are obvious real world examples that im sure describes several people on this forum in fact that would give you no clue as to their advising capabilities or experience.
I have a slightly negative net worth (should hit zero this year!), and have been asked about finances and moving money around by people with 8 figures of net worth and a trust fund. Dont arbitrarily cut off sources, but unfortunately that means working to see if a source will help you at all and is time intensive.
Zaphod, Do you have blog too? I see you are active here. I'll be curious to see your posts. I do understand net worth how inaccurate it is for someone who had loans vs someone who had trust. All the reason I am in awe of dr. Amanda Liu. I saw her post even before I followed WCI.
I really don't plan seek financial advise from athletes or Donald Trump.ZaphodParticipantStatus: Physician, Small Business OwnerPosts: 6339Joined: 01/12/2016

No I wish I did, but I am a hopefully zero net worther (though do have assets and that should flip rapidly). I have been thinking about a book/blog combo but its not finance related and more my practice niche related, which seems to have very little competition (maybe zero). However, I dont see as lucrative affiliate deals as with finance without selling my integrity. If finance related, I'd probably end up talking about things that interest me that are maybe fringe good behavior, which Id be very afraid of anyone following. I wouldnt want to feel responsible for anyone blowing up their play money.
Just am always reminded about those guys on american greed that basically prey on that signaling theory by looking like theyre living large and doing all the outward things that look successful, it seems to work every time. Show always gets me, almost everything is a Ponzi scheme, there arent many creative criminals anymore, sad!

Web App with Accurate OCR: Fast Scanning and Efficient Management of Fiscal Receipts
A leading software and services company specializing in e-Government solutions.
The client required a service provider with a strong foothold in complex solutions architecture design, business process automation, re-usable components development and integration, as well as software product development. Besides, the provider also had to possess proven experience of working in a globally distributed project environment, capable of operating as an extension of the customer's existing on-site team.
The customer markets a proprietary software product designed to aid attorneys and litigants in filing cases to the courts in their respective jurisdictions, as well as automating case intake and processing by the courts and agencies.
The product required a technological upgrade and the existing functionality improvements along with new features development to enable more efficient case flow compliant with the currently effective federal court practices and procedures. The product was expected to provide users with a more convenient way of submitting an application to the target court by verifying the filled form before submission and assembling it into a case afterwards, while providing an optimized case management process for the courts and agencies.
The platform features an exclusive interactive virtual interview technology that has proved to automate any complex data intake process. The key product features include:
To be able to deal with the ongoing project assignments and ensure the long-term goals completion (e.g. entire system re-engineering), the team first of all had to deal with such strategic issues as poorly documented legacy system and undefined vision of the future solution architecture. To address these problems, Softeq conducted a comprehensive research resulting in a detailed overview of the legacy system and elaborated a plan for infrastructure and development environment overhaul.
The team has successfully delivered a number of solutions within the project work scope:
The customer continues utilizing Softeq's competency by completely outsourcing the project development activities. Softeq's team is involved in additional features development and functional improvements, as well as new architecture implementation and migration to cutting-edge technologies. The team also provides integration services for the customer's client base — state courts.

At Home With Hello Mrs Eve/
Kea from Hello Mrs Eve is a German interiors blogger and founder member of new online interiors community at{mine}, which helps design lovers to discover real interiors from across the globe. Heart Home readers are exclusively invited to sign up now to become part of the at{mine} community and discover the inspirational stories, people and brands behind beautiful real interiors today.
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm Kea, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Wiesbaden and Berlin. In addition to my job my second passion is interior design. For this past year I've been sharing this love for furniture and decoration on my blog hello-mrs-eve. I have also just set up an on-and-offline community for female Berlin bloggers. The first meetings with the girls have been so inspiring – I love seeing them supporting and encouraging each other.
2. Where do you live?
My homebase is Wiesbaden, a city in the south-west of Germany, but since January I have also had an apartment in Berlin, so commute every three weeks back and forth.
3. Who do you live with?
In Wiesbaden I live with my husband and our two cheeky cats, whose playfulness thwart all my ideas for houseplants or still-lifes of porcelain vases! During my time in Berlin I have my little own place, my "girls-room", as I call it. Writing it down, it reminds me of Carrie's single apartment in Sex and the City, that she keeps while living together with Big.
4. Tell us a little bit about your home.
I immediately fell in love with our flat in Wiesbaden when I saw the pictures on the internet. It's an Altbau maisonette with five small rooms. Our bedroom is so tiny, there is just enough room for the bed and a little wardrobe – but the small rooms with pitched roofs make it cosy in no time. There are many details, like old wooden doors and windows. The brick wall in the kitchen was a lucky chance – after water damage in the adjoining house the plaster had to be removed to dry the wall. Fortunately, I was able to persuade the owner to keep it that way.
5. What made you choose to live here in this property?
In Wiesbaden we live in a small district within the old city walls of an old castle that sits on a hill above our house. We are surrounded by half-timbered houses and woken by the bells of a church built in the 15th century right next to our house. It is an idyllic place to live and I love the woods around us. As much as I enjoy living there, I also need the contrast and big city environment of Berlin. The lively atmosphere, plenty little shops, cafés and galleries, creative people everywhere – I am inspired wherever I look. I'm so lucky to call two places like this my home.
6. What improvements have you made?
Since it is an apartment for rent, our possibilities for changes are limited. But if I could: I would replace the laminate with floorboard, there is nothing better than a creaky wooden floor under naked feet. I would also get rid of the carpet in the staircase and add a bath tub – the only thing, I'm really missing on cold winter days.
7. What's your favourite room?
My dining room. First, I was unsure if the wallpaper would be too much for the small room, but I love the result. It's a great place to sit with friends and have dinner not being disturbed by television or the waiting dirty dishes. When I sit at the table, I automatically relax and and enjoy the moment.
8. How has your home interior been inspired by your fellow at{mine} community members?
What I like about at{mine} is the great variety of styles. Because the members come from all over the world, I get a variety of ideas how to decorate, paint walls or use home textiles to create a certain atmosphere. There is no "right way to do it" – English country style, Scandinavian purity, easy bohemian homes, everything is possible. I benefit from the diversity – it makes me search for my very own style and not a fixed given answer; how to make a house a home.
9. Describe your perfect day spent at home.
The first thing I see in the morning is the smile of my husband. Since we spend only half our time together, we value our togetherness as much more precious. In summer, we have breakfast outside in the little courtyard. Afterwards I decorate the dining room with fresh flowers from the market and try to keep my cats from eating them! Throughout the day I work at my fifties-style desk or take pictures for my next blog post.
At tea time I relax on my beloved Knoll Daybed, going through interior magazines, surrounded by many cushions and my soft blanket. In the evening friends come over for dinner and we laugh and talk late into the night.
Been inspired by what you've seen? You can find more lovely images of Kea's home over on at{mine}. Don't forget, Heart Home readers are exclusively invited to sign up now to become part of the at{mine} community and discover the inspirational stories, people and brands behind beautiful real interiors today.

At the beginning of the application process for this program, I admittedly did not have a thorough understanding of the intentions, facilitators, or mechanisms of the Appalachian Transition Fellowship. Accordingly, I thought using that title was creating a taller order than any individual or organization could fill. The speculation I felt can be traced directly back to the very subject we spent hours writing and having dialogue about during our orientation: what does "transition" mean? This was a central theme of our educational experience as we were taken on a tour of Central Appalachia and shown some communities' definitions of transition.
The first stop on the tour was just as it should have been. It began with a training on how to facilitate a dialogue around the need for transition and potential solutions. We went to Charleston, West Virginia, for a two-day gathering and training on how to facilitate the specific discussion of "What's Next, West Virginia?", in our own community.
While in Charleston, we visited Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) and the Corey Brother's produce distribution to hear about their approach to transition: using the massive infrastructure of the healthcare monopoly that CAMC has developed to support local farmers.
We had an opportunity to visit many communities to hear what they had to say, which, individually, did not represent a wholesome approach to creating a new life in Appalachia, but to view all of the fellowships collectively: Fairmont's main street development and community engagement; Athen's cooperative incubator ACEnet and the local goods' salvager ReUSE; the energy efficiency and community engagement happening with the City of Benham and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth; the Appalachian Citizen's Law Center working to access the Abandoned Mine Land Fund from Whitesburgh, KY; the Community Farm Alliance in Eastern Kentucky working on food access issues for low income communities; the worker-owned cooperative, Opportunity Threads, in Morgantown, North Carolina, who are empowering workers to own their livelihood in a way that can still compete in the marketplace; my work in Huntington, West Virginia, with OVEC in the legislature and doing storytelling on energy efficiency and renewable energy in West Virginia; the Alliance for Appalachia's regional campaign coordinating; as well as the projects I named earlier in this blog - you see a broad-spectrum approach to taking a big step forward for a more just economy.
But, still, there has been no clear answer to that core question, "what does transition mean?" It's clear to conclude that transition means something different to everyone. Not one of us has the same exact idea of the ideal transitional economy as another, but despite the significance of working with longer-term goals in mind, it is imperative for us to consider one another and the work we are doing collectively when taking steps forward with our work individually. Otherwise, we will defeat our potential allies in our collective inception.
Growing to understand the intentions, facilitators, and mechanisms active in this program will be a process I engage in far longer than the span of this fellowship, and seeing myself actually live out that realization is one of my intentions for this program. Throughout the fellowship, myself and the other 13 fellows will engage in dialogue and trainings on developing this understanding, as well as cultivating an appreciation for others working to take steps forward that expand the effectiveness and capacity of our own work.

How to Dress for Any Date Night
Dress to Impress
Dressing for a date night says a lot about what you think about yourself and about your guy. It's not that you have to be phony or dress differently, but you do have to dress appropriately for the plans he's made for the date.
It's a smart idea to ask the guy what kind of evening he has planned. If he wants to keep it a surprise, then ask whether you need to dress as you would for the office, for a sports event or for an elegant party. That gives you a range in which to choose your outfit.
How you dress says so much about who you are. If you go out in a halter with cleavage barely contained and a mini-skirt that slightly larger than his handkerchief, then you're sending a message that he reads as "YES" and other women quickly label "slut." You'll get plenty of attention, but the wrong kind of attention.
Dress for any date night by thinking about job interviews. Dressing for a date when you aren't sure about the plans is like going to a job interview. You've probably heard the advice, "dress for the job you want, rather than the job you have."
That means you dress up just a bit more. For a date, apply that advice. If you aren't sure what to wear, go with business casual and sensible shoes. If you wear a sleeveless top, bring along a hoodie or light sweater, since you don't know whether you'll be inside a chilly movie theatre or sitting outside at a patio restaurant after the evening temperatures drop.
If you're getting back into the dating scene after a few years, take time to look over the current magazines for casual styles. Then ask other women who have similar styles to yours what they would wear for a date.
Basic rule of thumb: if you haven't dated for five years or more, don't wear what you use to wear on dates. Chances are you will telegraph your dating scene absence with a wardrobe that needs to freshen up.
You don't have to buy all new clothes – just edit your outfits and add a bold item that's current. Even if you've lost lots of weight and just got a facelift, don't go shopping in the junior department after age 25.
You'll add to your age by trying to look too young. So if your preteen daughter loves the tee shirt dress, buy it for her and not for yourself. Even if your wardrobe basics do double duty for work and social wear, keep a few items that are only for dates.
That doesn't mean something sleazy or provocative. Instead, find a color- saturated sweater in a shade that makes your eyes sparkle and draws attention to your face or a wrap dress that shows your figure in tastefully sexy ways and wear those items for date night. Then you'll start the evening feeling good in an outfit that makes you feel special even before he walks through the door!

"Once thought a legend, modern hidden camera blinds and stalking techniques have allowed us an exclusive glimpse into a rare species indeed … the modern ninja.
The ninja's native habitat is being increasingly encroached upon by urban development. Ever adaptable to its environment, the ninja has adjusted surprisingly well to survival in the city.
Here we see see a fledgling ninja, whom observers have named, "Stormshadow" practicing stalking the rooftops...
Slowly Stormshadow learns the skills that will make him a successful ninja and carry his genes on to the next generation...
Here we see Stormshadow's mate, who the observers have named BlackFox, chosing a large bandolier to accentuate her mammaries and intimidate rivals.
BlackFox's rival, Smokey, responds with an aggressive display, cutting a sign post in half with a silent katana strike to show her superior ninja mastery. Crestfallen, BlackFox backs away submissively, leaving Smokey to the final courting of Midnight, an experienced ninja female.
Meanwhile, Stormshadow is making his first awkward and inexperienced kill. Full-grown ninjas kill their prey quickly and silently, but Stormshadow's first blow to the neck misses, and leaves his victim screaming momentarily before Stormshadow clumsily crushes his throat.
In order to survive long, a ninja must learn to move without being seen. Here, we see Stormshadow's first attempts at hiding in the shadows. While he is still young, his natural abilities begin to show even now, as he play-pounces on a fellow adolescent ninja, Ghost.
Ghost and Stormshadow tussle for a moment. While to the untrained eye this seems like innocent play, it is through these childish wrestling matches that young ninjas learn many of the lethal skills they must use to survive in adulthood.
Smokey continues to make advances towards Midnight. But Midnight will not take a mate lightly. Smokey must prove himself to her. His display is punctuated by a throaty but silent mating "Hya", as he displays the ninja traits he hopes will prove his worthiness to be her mate...he flexes and stretches his limbs to show his strength and mobility. He leaps back and forth silently in shadow to show off his stealth.
Midnight's interest is peaked, and she allows him to lead her back to his specially prepared ninja lair. The ninja lair is the make-or-break of a successful ninja courtship. The careful arrangement of various shiny throwing daggers, silver shriken stars and swords impresses Midnight very much, and with an elaborate pounce and straddling pin followed by nuzzling, she lets him know she has made a favorable choice as far as Smokey is concerned.
Ninja, like all top-level predators, reproduce infrequently, and are hard-pressed to recover numbers from significant losses due to the frequency of falls, decapitations, and their habit of committing suicide when captured. Activist groups have taken up the cause of ninja conservation, and the trend has become very popular with the American public. it is not uncommon to see special wooden ninja habitats being hung from the sides of houses with bird feeders full of ninja throwing stars.
In summary: The ninja is many things. Deadly. Beautiful. Mysterious. Majestic. The ninja has captured the imagination of poets, painters, and video game designers. Their quiet power serves as an inspiration to man. Their future is uncertain. for now they seem to be adjusting to an urban lifestyle easily but...many dangers await young Stormshadow and Ghost as they struggle to reach adulthood...But whatever happens, the noble ninja will always have a place in man's imagination."

Members of the NUT at Kimberley School have voted overwhelmingly for strike action against academy status. The first day of strike action is scheduled for Tuesday, May 29, with two further days of action after half-term.
Teachers at Kimberley are concerned that the school are attempting this move during the exam season, just a couple of months after the governors had appeared to abandon the idea. The sudden volte-face does not fill members with confidence regarding management promises that no changes will be made to their pay and conditions. Evidence from academies across the country suggests that their worries are not unfounded.
However, the primary motivation for the action is not staff pay and conditions but the education of students and Kimberley School and other schools across the county.

Hands Off Our Schools
public meeting on the future of The Kimberley School
All Welcome
Tuesday 29th May at 7.30pm
Kimberley Parish Hall, Newdigate Street, Kimberley

Andrea Oates, Hands Off Our Schools Campaign
Also invited (not confirmed): Chris Teal, Headteacher of The Kimberley School and John Wilson OBE, Chair of Governors
Notts Hands Off Our Schools press release
A new campaign has been launched to keep The Kimberley School in Nottinghamshire at the heart of its community and to reject academy status.
Just three months ago the governors voted unanimously that it would not be in the best interests of the school to change status "at this time". The decision followed a comprehensive consultation exercise and vigorous opposition from parents and teaching staff to academy conversion.
However the governors have now voted to pursue academy status – angering parents and others in the community who want Kimberley to remain within the Nottinghamshire County Council family of schools.
The campaigners are supporting the vote by NUT members at the school to take strike action over academy conversion and they have launched an online petition, which can be found via http://nottsantiacademies.org.
Local parent and Labour councillor for Cossall and Kimberley Mary McGuckin said: "We are urging the governors of The Kimberley School to think again about conversion to academy status. There's absolutely no evidence that converting to an academy improves educational attainment for students and there are a huge number of risks because these are uncharted waters. What happens if a school is hit by a fire or a flood and no longer has the local authority safety net to fall back on for support?"

Mah Bow Tan, a member of the Singapore parliament and former government minister, explained the particular challenges that Singapore faces as a city state of 5.2 million people in an area half the size of London - and without, of course, any hinterland
More from: In pictures: WAF day two victors revealed
These focus mainly on a shortage of land and a shortage of fresh water, both of which the country has dealt with in innovative ways, helped by the fact that it has only a single tier of government.
The success of its policies can be judged by the fact that between 1986 and 2007 the population grew by 70 per cent, yet in that time the proportion of green space actually increased from 35.7 per cent to 46.6 per cent of the total land area.
'The balance between quality of life and growth has always concerned us,' explained Mah, who outlined the country's development since independence in 1965, at which time it had slums and inadequate sanitation and transportation.
One of the most recent aspects of that has been the creation of the Marina Bay area from reclaimed land. Intended to facilitate the expansion of the central business district, it also includes the Gardens by the Bay, providing a green lung for locals as well as a new facility for the entire country.
'We wanted a premier waterfront address,' explained Mah, 'and we also planned that it would be environmentally sustainable.' This is evidenced not just in the building codes and in the provision of new public transport facilities, but also by the fact that the bay has been dammed to create a new freshwater reservoir.
Building regulations require the installation of skyrise greenery, an approach which is being adopted throughout the country.
Cheong Koon Hean, chief executive of the Housing Development Board (HDB) explained the country's attitude to creating new settlements and revitalising existing ones. Its programme is impressive, with 90,000 units planned for next year alone in 23 new towns. Singapore's housing market is unusual in that more than 80 per cent of people live in state funded housing, but more than 90 per cent of them own the housing, rather than renting it.
Developments have been careful planned to create a sense of community but many are being revisited, both to give them more lively centres and to 'green' them in both figurative and actual terms. Green plot ratios (the ratio of greenery to ground plane) have been set at between 2.5 and 4, leading to considerable investment in vertical gardening.
Wind flow is also analysed at the level of both settlements and buildings, since maximising wind will lower temperatures and reduce the need for air conditioning. And in projects such as Skyville@Dawson, the HDB has also introduced spaces that can be reconfigured to accommodate changing requirements throughout the residents' lives.

Our 2 year old Kenmore top freezer refrigerator is dead -- stopped working just like that!We bought an entire kitchen full of appliances in November of 2007 (frig, stove, micro, dishwasher) from our local Sears Appliance Store. All were Kenmore except the Bosch dishwasher.
In March the freezer portion of the frig gradually began to warm up and a repair man came and recharged the freon. He said most likely there was a slow leak in the evaporator. He charged it and said hopefully it would last another 2 years before needing another charge.
It lasted just over two weeks and so the only option is to haul it in and have them take it apart to try and find where it's leaking.
No guarantee that it can or will be fixed and all will be at our expense. Estimated cost is minimum $300-$500. The best part of all is that Sears says it's our tough luck.

Learn about weather and disaster preparedness and enjoy free admission to museum and battleship.
Family-friendly games, fun learning activities, large equipment, and enlightening speakers will highlight this big, one-day weather festival in Norfolk. Attendees will also enjoy free admission to the Nauticus Science Museum and Battleship Wisconsin.
The National Weather Association WeatherReady Fest will take place at the Nauticus Science Museum on the waterfront in downtown Norfolk on Saturday, September 10, 2016 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Admission requires a free timed ticket that is available online.
More information and a link to the ticket site is available on the festival website at www.weatherreadyfest.com. The tickets are free and are issued for specific hours to maximize the number of people that can visit.
Kids will love building their own solar powered house, making a tornado in a bottle and playing fun weather games while they collect stamps on their very own WeatherReady Passports to earn cool weather stickers.
Adults will love learning about making their homes hurricane resistant, how sea level rise could impact the Hampton Roads area and hearing from weather experts like Dr. Marshall Shepherd from WeatherGeeks and former National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read.
Everyone will love seeing equipment like the new field vehicle from The Weather Channel and the Command Bus used by Norfolk Emergency Management, as well as watching the debut of the History of Stormchasing with filmmaker Blake Naftel. All of the high definition movies are free for attendees.
Charles Dudley Warner said, "Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." But here you will find all kinds of people who are doing something: meteorologists who study hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, and more—to help keep people safe.
Festival Chair and NWA Vice President Bill Murray said, "The perfect forecast has no value if the audience can't act on it. WeatherReady Fest is designed to make exploring weather and preparedness fun and interesting."
About the National Weather Association
The National Weather Association, founded in 1975, is the largest organization of operational meteorologists with over three thousand members in government, private meteorology, broadcasting, and academia. To learn more, visit www.nwas.org or call us at 405.701.5167.

Writing when you'd rather go for a walk
A short post about writing, sort of a service post, one of those I have decided to enlighten you with my wisdom sort of posts that serious writers do on their million-views blogs.
Blog gurus say that your post, to be effective and successful, must tackle a real-life problem of the readers, and provide a solution.
So, here goes: say that you have to write, and you don't feel like it.
The clock is ticking, the wordcount-meter is dead, and you'd rather go peel some potatoes for tonight's dinner than sit at the keyboard and write.
What do you do?
Now, I don't know what you do, of course – and I'd like to know, so please tell me!
In the meantime, I can tell you what I do.
And maybe what works for me might work for you, too.
So, first of all a small recap:
1 . a person that gets paid to write
2 . a person that enjoys writing as much as possible1
These are my definitions, #1 being not negotiable, #2 being still pretty important.
Because if you don't enjoy the whole process – from dreaming up a story to actually sitting down and hammering on the keyboard, to the revision and all the rest.
As it usually happens, the enjoyment meter is not always in the totally having a ball with this, 100% range.
Sometimes it gets very low – and that makes writing hard.
But because of point #1, we must write anyway – to fulfill a contract, to pay the bills, to become rich and famous.
So, here's what I do when – just like now – my enjoyment meter is in the red.
First – identify what is not working
Why are you not enjoying the ride?
Causes can be physical – back aches, hand aches, whatever.
In this case, you'll have to find a physical solution: rest, a better chair, try writing while standing…
Solve, or mitigate, the physical problem and things will get better on the enjoyment meter, and you'll get back to writing.
But most often, especially in my case, the causes are not physical, and boil down to two possible categories
a . I don't give a damn for the story and/or the characters
b . I can't find the right angle/language/structure/POV/starting point
Second – make a list
This works for external problems.
Make a list of what is bugging you.
Put your finger on it.
Determine whether it's the characters, the setting, the language…
This is where having somebody to talk to is really a great thing.
Get an external opinion.
Third – change something
Michael Moorcock said "when in doubt, descend into a secondary character".
That is to say, change your point of view.
Also, try changing something.
Try switching from third to first person, try starting from a different point in the story timeline.
In other words, stop taking the story so seriously and start playing with it again.
In my case, forgetting about the bills is also helpful – money issues are a good starting motivator, but obsessing about the financial side while writing can become a distraction.
"Goodness, if I don't close this thing, they'll cut the phone line!"
It's scary – but it's not what one should think about when writing.
Fourth – give yourself a reward
Me, I bribe myself with sweets and chocolate during the writing proper, and with a book when I get to the bottom of the story. Right now there is a collection of Taoist T'ang poetry that waits for me as soon as I finish one of the works at hand.
Fifth – if you'd rather go for a walk, go for a walk
No use sitting and staring at the video, brooding.
A little physical activity, two words with other human beings and maybe a cold drink in the shade might be just what you need.
And this, very roughly and sketchily, is my approach to the thing.
And it's how I went from don't feeling like writing a single page to writing 5000 words in one evening on a project I felt nothing for in the first place.
I found a way to make it fun.
And what about you out there?
Any different approach?
Anything I forgot or overlooked?
The comments are open.

I'm featured on FasterLouder.com!
Fabulous review posted on Fasterlouder.com of Peaches show at The Corner Hotel, Jan 28th, written by Lara Antonelli. It mentions both the costume I designed and made for Peaches, my name, and also mentions that I was one of her dancers!
Some excerpts from the review:
"...Running out on stage to check out Samson's set was the titty-lady herself, nonchalantly whispering in Samson's ear and displaying her outrageous outfit for the evening. A cream leotard with blossoming breasts surrounding her upper torso like a spring time flurry. On closer inspection, the nipples were actually the heads of Barbie dolls....
Mental note: get Peaches' own Melbourne costume designer Jess Daly (who also happened to be one of her gorgeous dancers) to design my next party dress...Peaches was accompanied on stage by her two brunette dancers, who looked like they had just traipsed from the set of the Labyrinth, waltzed through acid rain and stolen David Bowie's make-up, only to then find themselves on stage."
Thanks Lara!

Warm, satisfying and ever-so-slightly sweet, this pear and hazelnut cake is the perfect companion for a big mug of fresh-brewed coffee.
It has been raining – no, pouring – in Lisbon for about the past week. It's the kind of rain that comes down in sheets, pounding against roofs and windows and turning the whole city into a grey and blurry watercolor painting.
It's easy to find myself complaining about the rain, especially because I live in a big city and have to tramp through exactly 19 giant puddles between the bus stop and my work with an umbrella that is no match for the wind and "waterproof" boots that are just… not.
But on the weekend, when I'm too lazy to leave the house and am just looking for any excuse to stay in my pajamas all day, drink tea, watch movies and have cake for breakfast, there's really nothing better than watching and listening to the rain pouring outside.
Now, let's get serious about that "cake for breakfast" thing. You know the thing I'm talking about.
This cake is adapted from a muffin recipe, and while I'm sure that it would make fantastic muffins, I really, really wanted cake for breakfast. I wanted this for many reasons, but mostly because it's cake… for breakfast. Need I say more?
This cake is only slightly sweet, but it's rich and warm and satisfying. The grated pear keeps the cake moist while the hazelnuts add a rich nutty flavor and the perfect amount of crunch. It's perfect with tea or coffee for breakfast, and just as perfect with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium pears, ripe but firm
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan (I used a springform pan).
- In a large bowl, mix together oats, flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt and about half of the chopped hazelnuts.
- Peel and core the pears, and grate them using the largest holes of a box grater. 3 medium pears should yield around 1 cup of grated pear.
- In another large bowl, whisk together sugar and melted butter until smooth. Mix in the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and shredded pear. Add the flour mixture and mix gently until just incorporated – don't overmix!
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and sprinkle the remaining hazelnuts over the top of the batter. Put the cake in the oven and immediately decrease the temperature to 375ºC/190ºC. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (about 35 minutes).
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve warm or at room temperature.

When Cornell's Kyle Dake won his third consecutive NCAA title in 2012, he smiled broadly to acknowledge the standing ovation, turned four times for the audience and was quickly ushered off the mat.
Should he win his fourth title in as many years this weekend in Des Moines, Iowa, the affable towhead will have more time on the stage and presence in the national media -- perfect timing for a sport that's trying to restate its case to the International Olympic Committee.
The Cornell senior is the main storyline of this weekend's national championships because he's aiming to become the first wrestler to win four NCAA titles at four different weight classes (141 as a freshman, then 149, 157 and now 165). But the junior wrestler he's expected to meet in the finals, defending national champ David Taylor of Penn State, is an impressive 96-2 in his career and last year was named the most outstanding wrestler in the country.
Dake and Taylor are more than just future adversaries. Among the 330 wrestlers competing in Des Moines on Thursday, Dake and Taylor rate as both the most dominant and the most popular of the bunch. Their rivalry, accelerated by two heart-pounding one-point matches this season (both won by Dake, though one was in an exhibition match) and assisted by catchy nicknames ("Kid Dynamite" for Dake and "Magic Man" for Taylor), has driven interest in the sport of college wrestling to record levels.
The match is so compelling that for the first time ever, the NCAA has elected to change the order of Saturday night's finals to ensure they conclude with the 165-pound weight class. "We saw this as an opportunity to give the tournament another shot in the arm," says Dave Martin, chair of the NCAA wrestling committee and associate athletic director at Oklahoma State.
"With the possible elimination of Olympic wrestling, this kind of attention provides an audience and the potential for a huge upside. We're going to get more casual viewers, and I think wrestling deserves that kind of exposure."
Despite the negativity surrounding the IOC's decision, college wrestling is showing signs of financial health and even rapid expansion. After decades of contraction among Division I programs, amateur wrestling has been tagged as a struggling sport. But in a time when questions about superconferences are in the ether, the broadening appeal of college wrestling offers lessons about the profitability and sustainability of small but fan-friendly collegiate sports.
The NCAA Division I wrestling championship is one of only five NCAA championships that made money in 2012. Between ticket sales, programs and merchandise, the tournament netted more than $500,000 for the NCAA. That ranked third behind men's basketball and men's ice hockey, topping every other championship, including the College World Series and the women's basketball tournament.
According to the Des Moines Register, tickets for this year's event have soared recently to as high as $580 on StubHub, and city officials from St. Louis and Philadelphia -- hosts of the 2011 and 2012 wrestling championships -- estimate that the three-day event dumped $15 million apiece into their local economies. Jeff Jernacke of the NCAA credits a dedicated online following for much of the recent expansion. Among all the NCAA's sports, wrestling's Facebook and Twitter feed are the second most trafficked, with more than 200,000 members.
"Lots of people like basketball and baseball," says Jernacke, who was in charge of the 2012 championships, "but wrestling fans are some of the most active and passionate online fans we've ever seen."
The Big Ten Network has also seen an uptick in viewership and feedback. The Chicago-based network broadcast 55 live events this season, an offering that was up more than 600 percent from 2010. According to BTN VP Elizabeth Conlisk, this season's 55 events were seen by 27 percent more viewers than the 2011-2012 season.
"Wrestling has some of our most dependable numbers and our most active fan base in terms of quality feedback," says Conlisk. "When we air a wrestling match, the fans watch."
This year's dramatic finale between Dake and Taylor might be coming at the ideal time for a sport in international disarray. The wrestling community is locked in a political and public relations battle with the IOC to prove the sport should remain an Olympic sport. A key element to the IOC's decision and the sport's response is proving commercial viability through ratings and public interest. Supporting their argument is that all six sessions of the championship are being shown on ESPN networks, starting with Thursday's early rounds on ESPN3, followed by Friday's semifinals on ESPNU and the Saturday night finals at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
Dake and Taylor are fierce competitors on the mat but friends off it, having wrestled together in amateur tournaments throughout middle school and high school. But now, with legacies on the line, the pair will face each other in the most hyped amateur wrestling match ever.
"Most of the time, people run away from the competition, especially if they're friends," says Dake. "It's just a sport, though. Nothing that's going to happen on the mat is going to ruin anything. We're both going out there to win and put on a show."
Taylor enters the tournament having been taken down only four times in the past two years. This season, he has 10 pins, 10 technical falls and five major decisions. His last remaining order of business? Avenging his early-season losses to Dake. "I don't see myself as the underdog -- I believe I'm the best wrestler in the country," Taylor says. "In the beginning of the year, we both knew that somebody was going into the tournament with a loss and somebody wasn't. The matches that matter happen this week, not in January."
The final match of the night will feel like a pay-per-view event, and for the small community of wrestling fans huddling around barstools, it'll be a validation of their passion.

Love Birds-3 for Indian Society!
Love birds for India was after the success of the previous article Love birds-2.Love the most Indispensable think in everyone's life.No One can survive in this world without love.In some part of your life you need to show or accept the love.Love doesn't have definition if you define love then your biggest fool in the World.To lead a life in earth you must poses something called love.Which make world look different for us.Love the most Hit word in Indian Society.The Word love bring blossom within youth,bring happiness in family,Hated term in Society.
Ancient India:-
Love were Part of Indian costumes and tradition.Over 3000 years back when Hinduism started in India and Veda was scripted.Love played a dominate role in the Civilization.In Ancient period,Indian's worshiped Kama deva and rati devi as a first symbol of love.Hinduism also preached love Only the purest form in the world to Attain God.Kama sutra a veda of Hinduism preaches Sex most purest of love in which a human can connect with the God.Love Evolved in many forms in India from religious aspect to common man.In Indian culture Love was a part of Indian Tradition were people live in as one family as joined family.Mostly in ancient India Love are considered as just a Sex due to which women were suppressed.After Arrival of AD Indian culture got changed to some extent.Which are openly can be seen In Indian Epic story Ramayana were Rama and Sita love for Each other,Krishna and Radha,Meera (A lonely women waiting for her love through out the life.)
Modern India:-(Today)
In Mechanical life of India,We are losing value of love not only between opposite sex but within our family also.Every year domestic violence in Indian family are on rise and number of person commit suicide also on rise.Every year in India about 1,00,000 people die due to love failure alone.In most of the situation love as been failed only due to the social impact and misunderstanding.More than girls only boys commit suicide.India is the only nation were love breakups and failures end up in suicide.Most of the domestic problem in India only due to lack of love.
First of all to thousands of readers love never fails.Only we make love failed.In most of the situation in India love breaks up before they tie-up there hands.Some love break due to fake relationship and misunderstanding.some relation break due to social impact.Once in India were people lived in join family love was the main aspect which bonded family members together.Today nuclear family were family miss love of grand parents and parents.So the children when they get someone who can show care on them they fall in love with that person.No one can say when a person gets love in its life.
In money world we don't have time to show love on a person.If anyone there to show love over you respect it and because its difficult to find such person in future.The major problems for love in India are caste,religion,status,consumeration,change in culture,social impact and stress etc.In busy day to day life some problem are not brought to light.In which love suicide and murder for love are very high in India.I already showed some of the problem of love in India like caste and religion so now I want to show case the problem due to enormous consumeration of people and change of culture.
Love:A Product
Love today has become more as commercial product.Love was hated by the common man due to caste and religion.Love was commercialized by business man and industrialized person.In Indian entertainment field were about more than 90% of the film realized are love stories.Most of commercial hit film's are love stories.So love became commercial and largely concentrated over a youth population in India.Many producer utilize love earn in million and destroy love in the society.Today Indian cinema show love as more glamor and sexual oriented.So many youth fall in love due to impact of movies and get indulge in wrong relation.Finally they end up in stress and spoiling each other life.Most of the youth they don't feel the value of love.Still more than 70% of movie ticket in India were based on youth and lovers.Indian communication and telecom sector only based on the lovers.The billions of money what telecom sector earn were only due to love only.Still today many business in India were running around love only. Serial today telecasted in Tv were wrongly project love within the family and Increase domestic violence in the family.
Once upon time love produced William Shakespeare,Karl Marx,Napoleon etc but today its destroying youth in Indian society producing only deva das,suicide,mental disturbed etc..Most dangerous of the consumeration was in the name of love many women and girls are cheated.they were smuggled for prostitution,human trafficking and organ market.Today some love mutual break up after they share closeness with each other.The main reason for this problem are only due to wrong impression of love.
Love become most untouchable word in the Indian society.The enormous market of love which directly affect the person only who truly love.Already true love in India were affected by caste and religion.To add more pain to love the wrong projection of love affecting society in a wider aspect.Even tele serials destroy love in the society.They increase domestic violence in the Indian society.My humble request to value true love and support it against all odds.

AAFP Applauds House Repeal of SGR, Calls on U.S. Senate to Act without Delay
Thursday, March 26, 2015
Statement attributable to:
Robert Wergin, MD
American Academy of Family Physicians
"Long-term health security for elderly and disabled Americans moved a major step closer to reality, thanks to the House of Representatives passage of the bipartisan H.R. 2, the Medicare and CHIP Reauthorization Act, or MACRA.
"The American Academy of Family Physicians applauds the House for its strong endorsement of MACRA and calls on the Senate to pass MACRA as soon as possible.
"For the first time in 12 years, true Medicare reform is feasible. HR 2 repeals the disruptive sustainable growth rate formula and restructures physician payment to help expand access, encourage quality improvements and spur innovation. It will push Medicare away from paying for the volume of services performed toward paying for the value of the health care provided. It stipulates a payment update increase of at least 0.5 percent annually for five years to stabilize the system while physicians transform their practices into models of care such as the patient-centered medical home. It consolidates three large federal programs that have different physician reporting requirements in an attempt to harmonize these programs and minimize their contradictory and expensive administrative burdens.
"The SGR has plagued Medicare patients for far too long. It's destabilized their access to care and threatened the financial viability of their physicians' practices for more than a decade.
"The Senate has an opportunity to end this dysfunctional and costly payment system now without resorting to yet another temporary patch.
"While not a perfect solution to health care delivery reform, MACRA resolves some of our health care system's most pressing issues. It reinforces reliable access to better, more efficient care for elderly and disabled patients, and it preserves health coverage for our most vulnerable children. It continues progress in building the primary care physician workforce that forms the foundation of high quality health care:
• by extending the Children's Health Insurance Program, this bill ensures that children have uninterrupted coverage to health care;
• by continuing funding for community health centers, HR 2 preserves access to care for 23 million patients who have inadequate or no health insurance as well as those who live in underserved areas;
• by funding the National Health Service Corps, this bill maintains scholarships and loan repayments for medical students who choose primary care and provide services to those living in underserved areas;
• by extending the Teaching Health Center GME program, HR 2 supports physician training in community-based settings, rather than in specialty-focused academic hospitals. This is a crucial step toward reforming the federal Graduate Medical Education program to include training in the settings in which family physicians practice and individuals receive most of their health care.
"This is not the time to stall. The health and well-being of too many Americans depend on passage of MACRA. The Senate must act without delay."

Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians represents 134,600 physicians and medical students nationwide, and it is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
Family physicians conduct approximately one in five of the total medical office visits in the United States per year – more than any other specialty. Family physicians provide comprehensive, evidence-based, and cost-effective care dedicated to improving the health of patients, families and communities. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing and personal patient-physician relationship where the family physician serves as the hub of each patient's integrated care team. More Americans depend on family physicians than on any other medical specialty.

Letters to the Editor
Forever grateful
We were shocked to read an obituary in Sunday's CDT saying that Brooke Frautschi had passed on.
We were pleased that the family chose to let us know (because she and her husband, Dick, moved away several years ago).
But the family left out one essential bit of information. Brooke was instrumental in creating the unique and beautiful Pantops subdivision that we have called home for more than a decade. We enjoy the acres and acres of "common land" shared jointly among residents, and we walk regularly on trails Brooke helped to design. For years, she carefully mowed the berms and trails herself, and she seemed to know and love every tree and bush. Early homeowners' association meetings were often held in her living room and were devoted to discussions of wildlife sightings. Brooke and Dick sacrificed the potential for great profit had they built a more traditional housing development. Instead, they chose to fulfill a naturalist's dream of a different kind of development. We will be forever grateful. Thank you, Brooke and Dick.
Linda and Dan Trevino, Port Matilda

Basic Concepts
This page explains the key features of the Toolbar, Layout Editor, Databases, Passage Window, Results Tab, Search Table, and Search Bucket.
Each of the elements on the toolbar is described below.
Enter a Bible Reference here, and press <Enter>. Valid formats are a single verse (Gen 1:1), a range (Gen 1:31-2:4), or a chapter (Gen 1)
Versification Scheme
The verse numbering systems for the English Bible, GNT, MT, LXX and Vulgate differ at times. Use the versification dropdown to select the versification schemes to be used when processing a BibleRef (eg. Ps 23:3 in the MT is Ps 22:3 in LXX and Vulgate).
Use the layout dropdown to select a layout to be used when a passage window is displayed. See Layout Editor below for more information.
Default Bible
the DefaultBible dropdown to select a default bible. The default bible is used
in two places – it is the bible searched when a phrase search is initiated, and
it is the bible displayed in layouts that use the special code @@BIBLE## (See
the layout editor section below for more information)
Phrase Search
Type a phrase into the PhraseSearch box (eg. God created), and press <enter>. The currently nominated default bible will be search for matches on that phrase.
Search Lexicon
These 'Search Lexicon' options are explained on the 'simple searches' help page.
Search Tools
These 'Search Lexicon' options are explained on the 'advanced searches' help page.
The config menu allows you to edit layouts and database codes (see below), download updates to database files, and to configure BibleCrawler preferences.
Layout Editor
A layout file is a HTML file that configures how and where bible verses are displayed in the passage display window.
It is strongly recommended that you do NOT change the standard layouts (in case you break them!) Instead, create a copy of a layout by changing the name of an existing layout, then click "Save Layout". For example, change the name "Default" to "DefaultNew", then click the "Save Layout" button, then make any further changes, then "Save Layout" again. Your new layout will be added to the layout list when you close the layout editor (Red "X" at the top right).
A layout consists of three sections (represented by the first three text windows shown above)
a header (which only occurs once per bible passage)
verse rows (which reoccur for each verse in the passage being displayed)
a footer (which only occurs once per bible passage)
A database is represented by the code @@[DatabaseCode]## - eg. @@GNT##, @@RSV##.
@@VerseRef## represents an individual verse id – eg. Matt 1:1.
@@BIBLE## is a special code to represent the 'DefaultBible' as selected on the toolbar when the passage is displayed. Eg. If the default bible is RSV, @@BIBLE## becomes @@RSV##.
A layout file could be as simple as
no header
@@VerseRef## @@GNT##
no footer
This would display as (for example)
Matt 1:1 Βίβλος γενέσεως Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ υἱοῦ Ἀβραάμ. Matt 1:2 Ἀβραὰμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰσαάκ, Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰακώβ, Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, Matt 1:3 Ἰούδας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Φαρὲς καὶ τὸν Ζάρα ἐκ τῆς Θαμάρ, Φαρὲς δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἑσρώμ, Ἑσρὼμ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἀράμ,
The 'Default' layout show in the screen shot above uses HTML tables to format the bible passages into rows and columns. The html code class="greekfont" and class="hebrewfont" refer to font definitions stored in the file [user's AppData Path]\BibleCrawler\Layouts\HTMLHead.html
The "Show Me" button displays a mini web browser window so that you can see how your HTML will be rendered at runtime.
Layout files are stored in the directory [UsersAppData]\BibleCrawler\Layouts, and have the filename [layoutname].bcl (bcl = BibleCrawlerLayout)
Database Code Editor
BibleCrawler uses texts stored in various databases. Database codes are used to tell BibleCrawler what texts are available, and how to connect and retrieve the necessary data. A database code file is named [shortname of database].bcd (bcd = BibleCrawlerDatabase).
It consists of the following lines
displayfield~ ~
searchfield~ ~
searchfield~ ~
searchfield~ ~
Passage Window
Bible verses / passages are displayed in the upper Tab Page area, using the layout as specified in the Layout selector in the toolbar (see above). You have the option to change the layout, using the Layout drop-down list on the passage window. After you select a different layout, these verses will be redisplayed using the new layout.
Use the switch tabs button (the reciprocal arrows at the top right) to move this tab to the lower tab page area.
Use the close window button (the red X at the top right) to remove this tab.
Results Tab
The results table shows the results of a word search initiated from the passage window. For example:
Search Table
The search table lists the word searches that have been executed. This list of search patterns is used to determine which words should be highlighted when a passage is displayed. You may change the highlight colour to any standard HTML colour name.
If you do not want a word to be highlighted, delete its line from the search table. If you have finished a set of searches and wish to stop all highlighting, click the "Clear Search Table" button.
Search Bucket
The search bucket is used to accumulate the results of multiple searches. This enables complex searches to be build up progressively.
In the example below, the results of two searches were copied to the bucket.
The operation of the search bucket is explained on the "Advanced Searches" help page.
