Huge public support for dairy farmers at Highland Show
Published 1 July 15
The Discover Dairy Experience hosted by AHDB Dairy at the Royal Highland Show, Edinburgh, Scotland (Thursday 18 – Sunday 21 June) was hailed a huge success in helping promote dairy products and targeting consumer awareness of quality branded produce such as the Red Tractor.
Over the course of the four-day event, the AHDB Dairy campaign was supported by 12 dairy farmer ambassadors, as well as Scottish veterinary student, Joe Cameron, all meeting the general public and showcasing a positive and passionate image of dairy farming. The keynote messages shared with the public included animal welfare aspects covered by the Red Tractor scheme. Over 200 pledges of support to the #DairyPromise campaign were provided by the public.
One of the farmer ambassadors at the event was renowned Scottish dairy farmer James Rankin, who farms 10 miles from Glasgow, and who helped champion the initiative by featuring in the AHDB stand imagery. The display content included James's own personal story and his farming experience, milking his 160 cow herd of Ayrshire and Jersey cows. Speaking at the conclusion of the show Mr Rankin said.
"It's important that dairy farmers pass on important messages to the consumer and we have to take every opportunity to engage with the public at a 'face-to-face' level. We cannot do enough to promote awareness of our products and the benefits of incorporating the Red Tractor logo as a quality assurance brand.
"I know from my own farm, we have the finest animal welfare standards, complete traceability from 'farm-to-fork' and offer protection to the environment. These are all concerns to the consumer, who is the end-buyer of our produce.
"The campaign message 'It's in our hands' is appropriate and we are pro-actively informing the consumer. The response from the public to the campaign has been fantastic and our dairy industry messages have been extremely well supported."
The general public were able to engage in a pro-active journey to learn the facts about dairy farming as well as, hear real farmer word of mouth stories. Children were able to engage by using interactive games to identify the Red Tractor logo and score points on a leader board. Consumers were also informed why on-farm quality assurance is important.
Amanda Ball, AHDB Dairy Head of Marketing and Communications said: "The general public have demonstrated incredible support to British dairy farming and as an organisation working on behalf of dairy farmer levy-payers, we appreciated the feed-back and support received over the four days of the show. The interactive game was played over 1,000 times and over 200 pledges of support to dairy farmers were provided by visitors."

James 1:27 "Religion"
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
Religion comes in a hundred forms and fashions. Religion creates a Mother Theresa. Religion creates an Osama bin Laden. Religion is used to control. Religion is used to bless. There is incredible good and incredible evil created in the name of religion. God in Christ gives us a definition and priority focus on the subject of religion.
Sometimes we complicate life and get all wound up with the stresses and strains. Unfortunately, God isn't too impressed with our busy, busy, go, go agenda. In fact, He sets a few priorities in this passage to help you simplify your week. Here you go: 1. Help an orphan, 2. Help a widow and 3. Keep yourself away from the world's pollution.
It doesn't sound like we need to overthink our assignments. Write these three to-do's down. Take some simple toys and games to an orphanage, and watch their faces! Ask your pastor which widow could use some work around their house, and then invest an hour or two to helping them in a simple way. Take a few minutes to sit and listen to their story. Where will the time for this come from? Just stop a little world pollution; get up early on Saturday morning and spend a few hours working God's priorities.
Religion made simple by a loving and caring God. Pretty simple definition, don't you think?!
A personal message...
"These devotions were written to my four children, Christian, Mike, Allison and Alex. By the kids allowing these to be shared publicly, our hope is that the devotions will make a positive and eternal difference in the lives of other young people as they mature. Enjoy. Rick Isaacson"

Book Review - Not in the Flesh by Ruth Rendell
Posted by Camden Council Library Service
Inspector Wexford is getting on and feels the creaks and strains of advancing age which suits me just fine as I do too!. I hope this doesn't put off younger and more active readers because Ruth Rendell is still on top of her game as the unidentified body count rises. Strong police procedural although she does rather telegraph some of the answers. Wendy

The School Physical Activity and Nutrition Environment Tool (SPAN-ET) is a PSE Change tool used by school sector stakeholders to assess elementary school resources and readiness to improve nutrition and physical activity (PA) environments, suggest appropriate improvement strategies, score and measure outcomes resulting from environmentally-based treatments. The assessment tool includes 27 Area of Interest items in two main component categories, PA and nutrition, and considers the policy, situational, and physical environment within each component.
Target Behavior: Healthy Eating, Physical Activity
Intervention Type: PSE Change
Intervention Reach and Adoption
SPAN-ET targets elementary school-aged youth (grades k-5/6) in SNAP-Ed eligible elementary schools (>50% students eligible for free/reduced meals).
Setting: School
Age: Elementary School
Race/Ethnicity: All
Intervention Components
SPAN-ET includes direct observation, interview, document review, and school wellness coalitions. Coalitions include SNAP-Ed staff, utilize the SPAN-ET Results and Resource Guide that provides assessment details to individual schools as to which criteria were met relative to their SPAN-ET scores, and links appropriate research-based, practice-based or emerging PSE strategies with each criterion to tailor school-based PSE implementation to unmet criteria. These intervention components contribute to school environmental and policy improvements aimed at supporting students' healthy weight, healthy dietary, and PA behaviors at school.
Intervention Materials
Online materials (SPAN-ET) and web-based training modules are under development (pending funding).
Evidence Summary
The SPAN-ET was evaluated to be a reliable instrument for assessing the quality of elementary school PA and nutrition environments and a sensitive measure for objectively identifying specific attributes of SPAN-ET areas of interest (PSEs) to target for school environmental and policy improvements aimed at supporting students' weight healthy dietary and PA behaviors at school.
- John, DH, Gunter, K, Jackson, J, & Manore, M. Developing the School Physical Activity and Nutrition Environment Tool (SPAN-ET) to Measure Qualities of the Obesogenic Context. J Sch Health. 2016 Jan;86(1):39-47. doi: 10.1111/josh.12348.
Classification: Research-tested
Evaluation Indicators
Based on the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework, the following outcome indicators can be used to evaluate intervention progress and success.
|Readiness and Capacity – Short Term (ST)
|Changes – Medium Term (MT)
|Effectiveness and Maintenance – Long Term (LT)
|Population Results (R)
|Environmental Settings
|Sectors of Influence
Evaluation Materials
The SPAN-ET is an evaluation tool that drives PSE interventions; no evaluation materials will be developed for the SPAN-ET. Developers have proposed (pending funding) to validate the SPAN-ET items (Areas of Interest) relative to individual-level outcomes. To date, examination has included only select SPAN-ET-driven PA PSE change relative to changes in students' in-school PA bout behaviors and weekly levels.
Additional Information
Website: The SPAN-ET website (http://extension.oregonstate.edu/growhkc/tools/span-et) includes an overview of the SPAN-ET tool.

Long car trips are a part of a grand tradition in the world of family vacations. Of course, fun on the open road can easily turn into an epic disaster if you fail to prepare. Before you leave with the kids, follow these packing and maintenance tips to get your car ready for the journey.
Perform Regular Car Maintenance
Before you embark on your long car ride, take your vehicle to an auto repair shop like Soundside Automotive for a tune-up and inspection.
- Get windshield wipers replaced. You should change your windshield wipers once annually, or every 6 months. If it's time to get your wipers replaced again, do it before your trip.
- Have brakes, tires and filters inspected. This is especially important if you'll be traveling through mountainous or hilly areas.
- Perform oil change. Even if it's not quite time to get your oil changed yet, estimate the number of miles you'll be traveling and determine if your next scheduled oil change will fall while you're on your trip. If it does, better to be safe and have the oil changed before you go.
- Check timing belt. If your car has a timing belt that is nearing the end of its lifespan, have it inspected before it's time to leave, and replace it if necessary.
Pack Emergency Supplies
Never leave on a long trip with children without packing some emergency supplies in the car, including:
- Water. Try to match the amount of water you keep in the car to the number of people you'll be traveling with.
- Blankets. Travel with at least one blanket per family member.
- Flashlight. Check the batteries before heading out.
- Car jack and spare. Check for these in the hidden compartment inside the trunk.
- Vomit bag. Keep this in the cab with you, not in the trunk.
Pack Family-Friendly Accessories
Keeping these accessories on hand is nearly as important as keeping emergency supplies in the trunk. These supplies will help prevent bickering among family members and will also prevent the kids from getting bored.
- Car organizers. Organizers that fit over the back of the seat can prevent the kids from making a mess in the back. Car organizers may also prevent kids from encroaching on one another's space.
- Travel pillows. Pack one travel pillow per child. Travel pillows take up less room than normal pillows and will help your kids stay comfortable.
- Car games. Pack car games to keep the kids entertained for long stretches of time. Keep a variety on hand.
Preparing your car for a long journey can help make your family road trip successful this summer. With luck and careful planning, your trip should be a success.Share

Kyoto Prefecture is located to
the north of Osaka, and has a long area.
The north area faces the sea of Japan.
The whole area of the prefecture is hilly, but has no high mountain and the highest peak in the prefecture is under 1,000 meters.
In the south part of the prefecture, there are some historic cities such as Kyoto and Uji.
Kyoto city is the prefecural capital and is well-known historic city in
Japan. The population is about 1.46 million (2009).
"Kyoto" is pronounced as "Kyooto".
From the 5th to the 8th centuries, the capital of Japan was mainly
around current Nara city.
In 794, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Kyoto, and Kyoto as the Japan's capital had continued until 1868.
During the period, this city had had Emperor, nobilities, samurais and ordinary citizens. And they created various cultures.
The central city has been built on a grid, and many temples, shrines
and the other historic buildings are dotted around the area.
And 17 constructions of them are designated a World Heritage Site as Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto.
Kyoto escaped the damage of World War II, so it has about 20 percent of Japan's national treasures.
Kamo River flows on the east side of the main area, and Katsura River
flows on the west side from north to south.
To the east of Kamo River, many gentle mountains line from north to south, and the area is called "Higashiyama".
And, to the west of Katsura River, there are nice areas such as "Arashiyama" and "Saga".

Kyoto is the international tourist city, and about 50 million people a
visit here.
And the sightseeing area spreads within 5-10 km.
To tour around Kyoto, we can use route bus, subway and taxi.
The network of subway is not so enough, then the main transportation is
route bus.
But the route bus is very crowded in high season, and some buses sometimes overflow with passengers.
So I suggest you give yourself enough time to tour around Kyoto.
To tour around main spots, it is convenient to use a tour bus.
Tour buses with various tourist routes leave from Kyoto station.
If you want to visit by car, you should be prepare to get struck in a jam and stray into any narrow, one-way street.

It is the annual festival of Shimogamo Shrine and Kamigamo
It had been the festival for nobility since the 9th century, but it had been lost in the samurai period.
In 1884, Emperor Meiji commanded to resume the festival, and it has been held every year since that.
About 500 people wearing the graceful costume of ancient nobility parades on the road in Kyoto city. The route is from Gosho (Kyoto Imperial Palace) through Shimogamo Shrine to Kamigamo Shrine.
"Aoi" means "hollyhock". The people wear the flowers of hollyhock.
It is the annual festival of Yasaka Shrine. and is one of
the three major festival in Japan, along with Kanda festival in Tokyo
and Tenjin Festival in Osaka.
And it is the famous festival with beautiful floats as well as Takayama Festival.
It is said that this festival has been held since 970.
As the festival of the shrine, it is held from the first day to the end day in July. Various events are held.
But the most popular events are the Yoiyama in the evening from the 14th to 16th and the parade of floats on the 17th.
In Yoiyama, the beauriful floats with lighted lanterns are set up at many town, and many stalls line there.
And in the 17th day, 32 beautiful floats parade from Shijo-Karasuma through Shijo street, Kawaramachi street and Oike street.
It is the famous event in the Obon period. The foemal name
is "Gozan Okuribi".
In the evening, five giant bonfires are lit on mountains to the northwest, north and northeast of the city.
They form kanji characters and signs. Espcially the character "Dai" is simple and clear. "Dai" means "big" or "large", and "monji" means "character".
In Obon, dead souls return to their families, and Kyoto people send the souls to the heaven at the last day of Obon.
We can see the characters in the darkness.
It is the annual festival of Heian Shrine. Heian Shrine
was built in 1895, and this festival has been held every year since the
first year.
"Jidai" means "era" or "period". Eighteen groups of seven historical periods in Japan parade in the city.
About two thousand people wearing the costume of each era parade. The length of the procession is about 2 km.
The head of the procession is the group of Meiji Period (the late 19th century), and the following groups extend back in sequence.
The route is from Gosho (Kyoto Imperial Palace) through Marutamachi Street, Karasuma Street, Oike Street and Kawaramachi Street to Heian Shrine.
It is a confectionary made in Kyoto. It is made from rice
flour, sugar and cinnamon.
Baked Yatsuhashi is similar to senbei (Japanese cracker or cookie).
Unbaked Yatsuhashi has a soft and mochi-like texture, and is often eaten wrapped around "an" (sweet red bean jam).
In the 17th century, Kengyo Yatsuhashi, a leading Japanese harp musician, gave the idea of this confectionary to his acquaintance of tea house.
The acquaintance made a confectionery baked into the shape of Japanese harp, and he gave this the name of "Yatsuhashi".
Kyoto has a culture that some pickles are served at meals.
And various pickles are produced and are selled as one of daily foods
and souvenirs.
It is said that the three major pickles in Kyoto are "Shiba-zuke", "Suguki" and "Senmai-zuke".
Shiba-zuke is made by salting chopped eggplants with red perilla for about a year.
Suguki is a kind of turnip, and is made by fermenting it in a cask for a year. It has a unique sour taste.
Senmai-zuke is made by pickling thin-sliced turnip with konbu (seaweed) and hot pepper in vinegar.
It is the famous dying in Japan, and was invented by
Yuzensai Miyazaki living in Kyoto in the 1690s.
He was a popular painter of folding fan, and he created the method to draw a picture on silk fabric and to color with dyes.
The method had made Kimono very beutiful and gorgeous.
To complete a work, there are many processes. And many craftmen get involved the works.
Nishijin is the area to the northwest of Kyoto city.
Since the 16th century, many excellent craftmen had gathered in this area and silk textile industry had developed.
And in the 1870s, mechanical looms were introduced from France, and various Nishijin works enabled the mass production.
Nishijin is still the Japan's leading traditional textile.

"On our opening day the museum received more than 10,000 visitors, testament to how much this means to local people. The new galleries have received outstanding praise from visitors, council members and sector colleagues thanks to the hard work of our museum team and the exceptional quality of the design and delivery from our partners at The Creative Core.
The design and build process ensured that quality, care and love were embedded into the consultation, concept and design. The quality of both the design and build has been exceptional and The Creative Core have impressed us with their practical skills and knowledge around collections care and display. I would have no hesitation in delivering a project in this way again and would highly recommend The Creative Core."
Sam Elliott,
Crescent and Collections Manager, Bolton Museum
Working with The Creative Core has been a joy. Their creativity is to be expected but they have shown generosity, open mindedness and a great willingness to learn and experiment. Our co-production approach requires trust and mutual support and with The Creative Core we feel we have this in spades. Working with The Creative Core really does feel as though together we are creating something unique and inspiring – together!
Tony Butler
Executive Director
Derby Museums Trust
Tower Bridge appointed The Creative Core to develop the new interpretation in its North and South Towers, which has now opened to the public. Key features are the Victorian divers' displays on level 2 in the North Tower, and the spectacular new floor and wall on level 2 of the South Tower, which use the original plans and drawings for the construction of the Bridge. The Creative Core produced a high quality and creative solution to a difficult brief and I found them always highly responsive and adaptive to our requirements.

"The team at The Creative Core went over and above the call of duty when delivering the Hadrian's Cavalry exhibition. The team worked tirelessly across the length of Hadrian's Wall, installing this unique dispersed exhibition. They produced innovative mount solutions for the objects that were on display and bespoke installations for 10 different museums in 10 very different museum spaces. They worked to a challenging schedule and delivered everything we asked of them. We were very lucky to have their expertise, experience and support on hand when we needed it most!"

"We wanted to provide a fresh perspective on how the Vikings shaped every aspect of British life, and, for many people, this will mean we're challenging perceptions of what it meant to be a Viking.
"But this is exactly what these exhibits are designed to do – immerse, enlighten and inspire. We've already received some fantastic feedback which is a true testament to the work of The Creative Core in helping us to bring this story to life."
Natalie Buy
Curator of Archaeology
Yorkshire Museum
"With a complex range of requirements covering both internal and external interpretation, we needed an interpretation partner who could deliver innovative and attractive designs that didn't cost the earth but looked like they had! The Creative Core were remarkable. From initial concept meetings right through to installations, every person we worked with at The Creative Core became part of the team: true partners, who completely bought into what we wanted to achieve, listened to our many requirements, and patiently created lovely, engaging, solutions. I recommend them without hesitation."
Sheila Moss King
Programme Manager
Diss Heritage Triangle & Diss Corn Hall
"The Creative Core's team made suggestions, provided solutions, responded quickly to queries and provided excellent support and customer service throughout.
I felt without doubt that The Creative Core offer and deliver the same very high quality of service to all their customers, irrespective of the size the contract. I would definitely recommend them and look forward to working with them on future projects."

"A wonderfully innovative exhibition designed with an abundance of creativity."
Ioannis Ionnidis
English Heritage
"I have found the team at The Creative Core to be easy to work with and professional. They go the extra mile to ensure projects are successfully completed and the client is satisfied."
Georgina Bishop, English Heritage
"It's a most exciting concept and DZG staff have worked alongside The Creative Core to create an authentic experience for visitors of all ages"
Peter Suddock
Dudley Castle Zoo
"I cannot speak highly enough of The Creative Core. They were all a pleasure to work with – nothing was too much trouble and all of the team really listened to what we wanted and worked tirelessly to make it happen. The space available was very small and The Creative Core managed to use a combination of a clever layout and use of structures with an eye-catching colour scheme and interactive screens to really attract people's attention and draw them into the exhibition – they created a real space of discovery.
"I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Creative Core to others and would relish the opportunity to work with them again in the future."
Tracey Crawley
District Manager (Economy & Culture)
Lincolnshire County Council
"Working with The Creative Core on the new interpretation at Housesteads Roman Fort has been a pleasurable experience, due in large part to the management of the project by Nichola Ward and the 'can do' attitude applied by Nichola, Jim Parkin and the team. The 3D design of the exhibition was developed through close cooperation with English Heritage's project team and has resulted in a layout that is visually stunning, practical and above all complementary to the museum building.
"I would highly recommend The Creative Core to colleagues in the sector and hope to be able to work with the team in the future."
David Thomas
Interpretation Manager
English Heritage
"The team at The Creative Core are great to work with - very flexible and creative. Their communication is clear, regular and they always stick to deadlines. In particular, they have adapted well to our community co-curated projects, taking on board feedback from our external partners as well as internal teams and incorporating this feedback to create engaging exhibitions worthy of participants' hard work.
"They have demonstrated a real passion for co-curation, going the extra mile to help bring participants' work alive."
Jude Holland
Project Manager
Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, Doncaster Council
"I'm very excited to be involved with the museum at such as pivotal point in its history. The Creative Core's new exhibition area is simply stunning and really brings to life the fascinating stories and facts behind one of Birmingham's most important industries..."
Anthony Hayes
Volunteer and Operations Manager
The Pen Museum
"The Creative Core are exceptionally professional to work with, meeting their timelines, on budget and as specified; a fantastic exhibition at a challenging site!"

In the absence of State-sponsored social safety nets, vulnerable families and individuals facing temporary hardships and/or unforeseen expenditures can be easily thrown into an endless cycle of poverty. Our Humanitarian Assistance Program provides support to individuals and/or families through medical, financial and educational assistance. The objective is to enable the poorest of the poor to overcome crises before they exacerbate.
Hashoo Foundation also works for provision of emergency relief to the victims of natural and human disasters. Our work for the victims of the earthquake of 2005, the IDPs' crisis of 2009, as well as the floods of 2010 reflects our commitment to mitigate the suffering of the disaster-struck population.
On September 20, 2008, a suicide bomb blast hit the Islamabad Marriott Hotel. The catastrophe resulted in the tragic death of over 56 people and more than 260 were injured, some to the point of disability. The delicate social/economic condition of the 600 immediate family members of the victims prompted Sarah Hashwani, Chairperson of Hashoo Foundation to launch "Sahara Fund" for these people on September 20, 2008. In addition to providing medical care for the injured, the Fund sponsors programs to help the families of the victims with their children's education, medical needs and skills training and employment until they become self-sufficient.Each family's situation was individually assessed so as to aid them in achieving the same income level they had prior to the explosion.
Hashoo Foundation (HF) Health program is divided into two components
1- Basic Health Primitives
2- Spinal Cord Injury Project for Pakistan Earthquake Rehabilitation (SCIPPER)
Hashoo Foundation's emergency health relief component targets vulnerable communities, reeling from the effects of natural or man-made disasters. The Foundation began its relief activities during the catastrophic earthquake in 2005, providing relief to the earthquake affected victims through establishment of a basic health unit in Talhatta, Balakot.
The unit in Talhatta proved to be extremely successful and in the model was replicated by inaugurating Hashoo Medical Center in Gwadar, Balochistan in 2007; Hassan Ali Hashwani Dispensary in Karachi in 2008; and Basic health unit for Afghan refugees, I-12, Islamabad in 2010.
Hashoo Foundation also provided much needed relief to the IDPs of Swat by running an emergency health unit for 9 months (June 2009 – February 2010) in Charsadda, KPK.
Hashoo Foundation's Spinal Cord Injury Project for Pakistan Earthquake Rehabilitation (SCIPPER) aims at providing services to spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with educational and vocational training, peer-counseling, care giver services, mobility equipment (wheelchair, canes) and bladder care supplies like catheters. This training gives them the opportunity to learn daily skills to achieve maximum autonomy in their lives.

Talk about an adventure! This vehicle is special we are talking a 1975 Special Edition 911 with all matching numbers!! Model number 314. This car is running thanks to the tuning skills of our shop and our owner's background in 911's. The shop owner drives this about once a week to keep it in shape that is why some of the pictures show a little dirt! This car was purchased from the original owner's wife but sat in a detached garage for about 13 years before we got a hold of it.
It is certainly not perfect and needs some work on the body and interior, but everything is original down to the radio. One drive in the car and you will understand why these vehicles are so fun to drive and so hard to find!

The following is a short newspaper article and letter regarding Rowland Clemens' service during World War II
Decatur Herald, June 6, 1994
Rowland Clemens, 74, Decatur
"What I remember most is the massiveness of the invasion; it was completely beyond belief. As we left England the sea was just solid ships as far as you could see. And there were constant flights of aircraft going over . . .
"There were still times, though, when I doubted it would work. We took some heavy casualties on some of the beaches."
Rowland Clemens was an army sergeant serving on a motor tug launch that maneuvered large floating harbors called "mulberrys" into position. These harbors became the invasion's main artery, feeding men and supplies onto the shores of France.
The following is a letter from R.A. Clemens to Ann Arnold which accompanied the above article
7 June 1994
Dear Ann
Enclosed is newspaper article of interest. Arromanches (Normandy) is where our outfit made its landing on D+2 (3rd day of the invasion). Arromanches was at the western end of Gold Beach was a British Beach. My detachment was assigned to a British engineer regiment whose mission was to assemble Mulberry B. There was another Mulberry "A" at Omaha however it blew away in the big storm of 18-19 July 1944. Ours survived and operated into 1945. Our unit left in Nov. '44 transferred to Rouen France.
Those structures you see off shore were large concrete structures call "Phoenix". These structures were the size of 5 story buildings and were built to float like a ship. They were towed across the channel and sunk off shore to form the outer breakwater of our Mulberry harbor. They are actually further off shore than they appear. Our particular job was to assemble the floating bridging that ran out from the shore to piers where ships would unload regardless of tide. All that material has apparently since been dismantled.

Sarah Paulson embarrasses herself in effort to befriend Rihanna
Sarah Paulson revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that it was a "daily struggle" to not embarrass herself in front of her Ocean's 8 castmate, Rihanna. It was a struggle she seems to have lost. While the cast included some very cool women, she focused, rather desperately, on befriending the singer. Paulson said she would sing Rihanna's "Work" back to her, even changing the lyrics to impress her.
Paulson admitted, "I was not good. And I'm not a singer, A. B, it's just deeply nerdy and [Sandra Bullock] would constantly look at me and be, 'Dial it down. Just stop.'"
To the surprise of no one, Paulson's efforts didn't make the best impression on the pop star. She added, "[Rihanna] gives great side-eye. So, when she does it, you're like, 'I'm really sorry.'"
The People vs. O.J. star said that although her behavior didn't lead to a budding friendship, "We have texted," so, there's that.
Also on Ellen, Jane Fonda revealed the reason she didn't think she'd live to 80.

Dell's Delicate Channel Balancing Act
Sounds like Dell Computer is about to engage in a delicate balancing act with its new-found channel partners. The vendor is launching a managed services initiative to sell to customers directly. So will Dell destroy margins in managed services the way it did with PCs?
Just last year Dell launched a channel program to expand its revenue base and compete more effectively with rivals such as Hewlett-Packard. But will it now compete with those reseller partner in managed services, a hot field for the channel? Ziff's Channel Insider site has an interesting report on this subject, including comment from VARs concerned that the move will push prices down and erose profits.
Dell contends there is nothing to worry about, but any time a vendor engages in action that could ignite channel conflict, there's plenty of reason for concern. The conflict beween direct (vendor) and indirect (channel) sales ebbs and flows, depending upon evolving business models and general economc conditions. Right now there is a lot of concern about the economy. Meanwhile, the rise of managed services and SaaS are pushing channel partners to explore new ways of doing business and pressuring them to readust their margins. Dell's move very well could inflame an already volatile situation with the channel, so the vendor should tread cautiously.

Good Morning! This week's 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge is a color challenge. This is an awesome color challenge this week so I hope you'll join us and play along. The colors are: brown, red, and cream or white.
My real red layer was dry embossed using my final press embossing folder and my big shot. My scallop chocolate chip border was created using the adorning accents edgelits and just along the bottom of my card I decided to add two rows of paper piercing. Along the top left side of my card I added three small silver brads and then to finish off my card I added my sentiment.
To create the bottom chocolate chip layer under my sentiment I punched out 2 punches using some chocolate chip card stock and my decorative label punch. Then I cut one of the punch outs in half vertically and the other one was cut in half horizontally and all I did was to adhere them behind my real red layer leaving just enough room around the egdes so that I would have a nice chocolate chip border. The back side of my sentiment it is pieced together, but no one will see the back side so that's okay. To adhere my sentiment onto my card I used two dimensionals on the left side. I didn't need to use any dimensionals underneath the right side of my sentiment since it was pretty level with the layered dasher image.
*card #90 out of 100 cards in 100 days goal
Stamps: Dasher, Holiday & Wishes
Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, DSP- Holly Berry Bouquet
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Supplies: Ribbon, SU Mat Pack, Paper Piercing Pack, Decorative Label Punch, Wide Oval Punch, Silver Mini Brads, Big Shot, Final Press Embossing Folder, Adorning Accent Edgelits, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Dimensionals
Technique: Dry Embossing, Paper Piercing
I loved this color combo so much that I decided to make another card. I stamped my image and colored it using my SU markers. My image is layered using the label collection framelits dies. I used the same size die for the image layer and the real red and second white layer. The red layer is just turned sideways and the white layer I cut in half and placed behind my red layer. The brown layer is the next bigger size and it's also dry embossed.
My sentiment is also made up of a few layers. My sentiment is cut out with the smallest size framelits die and then it's layered onto 1 modern label punch (it is also cut in half and then spread apart to create the layer) and then that is layered onto a chocolate chip decorative label punch. I added a small silver brad on each end of the modern label punch.
The designer series paper I used is from the same sheet. I used the polka dot side in the center of my card and on the back side of the same sheet of dsp is the circle pattern. I sometimes try to use the same dsp or papers from the same pack. It makes matching up the colors so easy.
I have dimensionals behind my sentiment and I decided to add some ribbon onto my card.
*card #91 out of 100 cards in 100 days goal
Stamps: A Cardinal Christmas
Card Stock: White, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, DSP- Polka Dot Parade
Ink: Brown Stazon, Chocolate Chip
Supplies: Ribbon, SU Markers, Decorative Label Punch, Modern Label Punch, SU Mat Pack- for hole for brads, Silver Mini Brads, Big Shot, Final Press Embossing Folder, Label Collection Framelits Die, Simply Score Tool, Dimensionals, Sponge
Technique: Dry Embossing, Sponging
If you can, be sure to take some time and visit the other 52 Christams Card Throwdown design team members' cards. They are wonderful this week! Have a great day!


text: It's been a while since I fished any real dry flies, some time in front of the tube with Davie McPhale got the juices flowing. I sorta like this little bug…and it's not hard to tie, a real bonus. Although I can hear grumbles already, its buggy enough for me. This will certainly be tested on the grass carp in the coming weeks, I will report back on a number of patterns in the near future. What do you think? Not bad for a first try eh?

Coming back to the same place after seven months of a life-changing, life-expanding, mind-opening journey is weird, to say the least. It makes those months seem like a dream—a waking one, but still a dream. The biggest questions upon re-entry (for me, anyway) are how you hold onto that experience to make it real, how you carry forward the best elements of it, and how to keep the journey going instead of an abrupt stop at a dead end.
These are not easy questions to answer.
I miss the dramatic landscapes of New Zealand. I miss watching the sun set over Lake Wanaka into the mountains of Mount Aspiring. I miss sleeping in my station wagon on an empty beach or the banks of a river or at the next trailhead. I miss being on the trail. God, I miss skiing with a view of blue lakes and the Southern Alps.
I miss my friends I met there. Soul sisters & brothers made all the closer for the time spent in the wild, for the road trips, for the adventures, the impromptu dance parties, the post-yoga conversations over a glass of wine and lingering at the dinner table. I miss meeting new people every day.
Of course Montana is a beautiful place to come home to. I love catching up with my friends over long mountain bike rides and hikes, on the rivers, and over hoppy Montana beer. I love seeing my sister every day, and watching my one-year-old nephew learn how to shake it to our favorite tunes and climb all over my canine soulmate of a dog.
So why then, coming back to this beautiful place full of beautiful people with such a depth of relationships, do I still feel like something's missing? Something so big that it almost leaves me in tears, making it hard to remember why I even came back?
Here's the one thing I'm clinging to in the hopes of filling this void: I want to always be the person I became over the last seven months. The one where every instance is an opportunity to be the best person possible: smart, strong, capable, kind. I want to find new adventures in the wild. I want to keep challenging myself physically and intellectually. I want to surround myself with people living creatively.
I want more moments than not to be chances to grow, to live, to feed my wild heart and free my soul.
But in this moment, in this coffee shop I've sat in countless times over the years in a town that feels too much the same—right down to the smoky wildfire pall right on cue in mid-August—my wild heart feels caged and the road feels like a dead end.
Thoughts and advice, as always, are more than welcome.

They are called bugs.You may not have noticed, but
The house we are renting from you was built in the forties or so.
The doors don't fit in the doorframes, there is little ventilation in the kitchen where there is a food, a sink and a washer and dryer, the vents are caked in dust, and the window screens all have holes in them.
In other words, our house is crawling with pointy legs and teeth.
We have enjoyed most of our eight months here, but it is time we leave. It seems that eliminating creeping things isn't on top of your priority list and we can't be spraying Raid everywhere when we have a newborn around.
Thank you,
The Haupts

By Lauren Laramore, Marketing Director, INTERPHEX
Being the Marketing Director on INTERPHEX there are so many things I could think of to tell you about that excite me for this year's event, however, instead of listing them all I'm just going to tell you about my favorite. I'll be the first to admit how passionate I am about my iPhone. I've started to take for granted the world of information available to me at my fingertips. It has certainly helped me out of quite a few tough situations, specifically when I've been lost and needed directions, forgot to pack my camera or just needed to set a reminder to help me remember something that I would normally forget. I promise this isn't a plug for iPhone, in fact, I know there are a lot of other great web enabled devices out there and I'm sure everyone is passionate about the one they own.
If you are lucky enough to have one of these devices then you MUST check out the new INTERPHEX mobile app. We all know how overwhelming it can feel towalk into a large convention center and not know where to begin. The mobile app has been carefully designed to help you find your way at INTERPHEX. Utilize some of the great features including: searching & bookmarking exhibitors, viewing conference sessions and special events, point-to-point directions on the interactive map and the opportunity to build and store your personal agenda. You can download INTERPHEX mobile for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry and other smart phones at www.interphexmobile.com. Check it out and let me know what you think!
On behalf of the INTERPHEX team we were thrilled to open the doors at the Javits Center today and look forward to seeing you there! Don't forget to tell your colleagues and industry friends to join you at the show this week!

Revenue Protection (RP)
RP offers comprehensive coverage for weather-related causes of loss, certain other unavoidable perils and price fluctuations through a dollar guarantee (based on approved yield times the level of coverage, the insured acreage, the percent of share and the projected price). RP also provides prevented planting and replant protection. Premiums, replant payments and prevent planting payments are calculated on a projected price. Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion is also available.
Coverage levels are available from 50percent to 75percent, in 5percent increments (80percent and 85percent coverage levels are available in limited areas). There is increased protection if the harvest price is higher than the projected price. If the harvest price is higher than the projected price, Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion does not provide increased protection.
Value of Production
The price at which the crop is sold is not used to calculate the loss payment, but rather by multiplying the harvested production, plus any appraisals, by the percent of share and harvest price determine the value of production. To calculate a payable loss, subtract the value of production from the dollar guarantee, multiplied by the percent of share.

Cincinnati, Ohio, USA – March 5th, 2018 – The Voice of Reason Radio podcast (with Chris Hohnholz and Richard Story) has joined the ranks of The Muniak Media Network (MMN). The network provides solid, Biblical content that entertains and edifies Christians across the globe.
The hosts, Chris Hohnholz and Richard Story, look at news and current events through a Biblical worldview. They explore biblical theology and explain practical application of the Scriptures. Chris and Rich consider themselves to be unworthy rebels, redeemed by the King of Kings and made servants fit for His use. The only thing stranger than these two brothers are their hobbies.
The Voice of Reason Radio podcast is willing to touch upon the meaty parts of God's Word unashamedly, yet with gentleness and respect to those in other theological camps. Ephesians 4:1-3 sums it up nicely, "Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
The Voice of Reason Radio podcast can be found online at http://www.SlaveToTheKing.com and is available for download on all major podcast apps.

I have a confession. When I was pregnant I said to myself (and probably to others a few times as well) that I was not going to let my child watch television for at least the first two years. At all.
Well guess what people? My little one is only 14 months, and has definitely seen TV. More than I would like to admit actually. It is probably the one thing I feel the most guilt about as a mom, and yet if I am making dinner or answering an important email, or just going to the bathroom or… (fill the blank with just about anything that doesn't directly involve a toddler), and Seth is not having it, I switch on the TV. It allows me to do what I need to do. He is distracted by it. Maybe this isn't sooo bad, but then sometimes I leave it on for a while. Because it's nice to be able to get things done.
I am not justifying this, I know how bad it is for him. I know I shouldn't let him watch. That's why I'm writing this. TV time, especially at such a young age, has been linked to lower IQs and attention spans, lack of creativity, lack of brain and language development, commercialism and materialism, and obesity (those are just a few). Yes, these things even apply to "educational" programs.
I have decided that while this is still my habit, rather than his- before this gets out of control and I have a TV-addicted child… I have to stop. Just turn the damn thing off. and leave it off.
There are so many other ways to distract him and keep him occupied. He is really easily occupied actually. Even when he's "watching TV," most of the time he's not really looking at it anyway, he's playing (and yet he's still absorbing it, I can tell). And most of the time the thing I want to do isn't really that important, and I can wait to do it when he's occupied on his own or he's napping or Manny's around.
I want this to be a TV-free household (with the exception of a movie for me and Manny sometimes after Seth's gone to bed). I would so much rather fill our days with lots of time outdoors, gardening, baking and doing art projects when Seth's older, and with reading and music… things that enrich our lives and his childhood.
All of this leads me to also think about the time I spend at the computer, too. It has come to be quite a lot, and not all of it is completely necessary… But that, friends, is another day and another post. :)
p.s.- You might notice, I got a little tired of my blog banner today and did a little redesign.
I love design- I'm always getting new ideas and tweaking and changing the look of my online spaces.

"Really ppl? For the prices I'm paying for your "lovely" service if I want a lemons and no ice then I should get one and not have to worry that your (sic) going to go back and bitch about the 10 extra seconds it takes to change it up a little. You ppl make it sound like your job is the toughest and most important one out there. Trust me it's not. And I get needing to vent and bitch but dang you ppl are *ucking ass holes."
I am a lemon, no not the piece of crap car that breaks down every time you have a less than exceptional week due to all the Jackie B's flooding into your restaurant and as a result have limited funds in your bank account, but an actual lemon. Here goes:
I am a lemon sitting in the bottom of a flimsy produce box. It is Monday afternoon and I am traveling my way to the restaurant to complete the food order for the week. Bump Bump Bump goes the truck. I feel a piece of broccoli and a whole cucumber fall on my head from their respective and also flimsy produce boxes. The back of the truck opens and I am greeted with two men in hair nets. I get a whiff of freshly made tortilla's, some not so fresh cheese, and cigarette smoke from the servers quickly inhaling as much nicotine as possible before Booth 4's entrees are ready.
I am carried in from the truck by one of the hair net men and brought into the walk-in cooler. OUCH! I fall immediately to the floor amongst my fellow lemons and roll right under the prep-line cart. I am waiting patiently to be picked up as I see the hairnet man pick up all the other lemons off the floor, but I am hidden and he does not see me. I wait all night on the cold damp floor but still no one sees me. It isn't until Tuesday morning when the prep-cooks come in to retrieve the cart that I am finally picked up off the floor and put back into my original flimsy produce box. I see people come and go and wait another few nights in the dark and cold. By now I am starting to get quite damp. I think that box of lettuce from last weeks order is starting to leak... I am not needed yet since the lemons that had fallen on the ground and then put back into the box were used to fill the fruit trays already. It is finally Thursday afternoon and I am picked up by a girl who smells strikingly similar to what I smelled when I first got off the truck. Oh no...the ground again! This time I land in some fresh ketchup. No worries, the girl has a nice rag conveniently located on her belt loop that has been used to wipe tables all lunch shift and cleans me off. She says a few colorful words under her breath and I am put into a basket. I am waiting to be cut so pieces of me can be used for waters, cocktails, and bartenders hands who have recently been puffing on the nicotine. I hear the same girl use that same colorful language as she cuts me into pieces and complains about how she hates me because she has a cut on her finger, and "IT HURTS LIKE A BITCH".
Well Thursday night is coming to an end and I still haven't been used. I see the barback coming to collect the other limes, oranges, and cherries that are in the same tray as I am. He wraps us in Saran Wrap and we are put away for the night.
It is now Friday afternoon and I have become a nice yellowish brown and the juice that once ran through my veins is increasingly drying up. The barback comes to release us from captivity, unwraps us from the plastic and sets us on the bar next to the server station. 8 pm rolls around and I am FINALLY being picked up along with 10 of my other friends. We are carried on an appetizer plate to the woman at table 6. Jackie Beeotch grabs all of my friends and I and squeezes us into her free, luke warm, probably rusty tap water and slams us down. UGH...too sour!! says Jackie Beeotch!
Well, Jack-hole...let's recap....When you couldn't remain seated during your dining experience and NEEDED 48 extra lemons and "in a hurry", just remember the journey that your lemons have been on. Just a question.....Do you remember this lemon ever being washed after it hit the floor...twice? I hope you choke on your next lemon Jackie B.
Thank you, Katie. And everyone, please go check out InnocentBARstander.

The Virginia Resolves said Virginia citizens should not obey the Stamp Acts. Intimidation of the tax collectors effectively nullified the Act. Colonialists felt that the Crown had violated their relationship. The Intolerable Acts were the final straw. They stated their grievances in the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Parliament had many opportunities to rectify their exploitive acts, but they did not.
