Thank You ATC's
It's a new year!
So, one of my New Years resolutions is to get back on the blogging train. My aim is 3 times a week. So for the first one of the year I dug up and oldie but a goodie (that for some reason slipped through the cracks…). This is a folio I made last summer. (from Shannon Greens design)
If you want to make one for your own, here is the video I followed… HERE …
Please if you do, send me a picture! I would love to see it… 🙂

It's my mother's fault
Got to chatting with her on the phone last night, and forgot to hit the post button… sorry, I will try and do 2 posts today to compensate 😉
Here are a few polymer (fimo in this case) covered pens I did a month or so ago. I love the way these look. I know this is a bit of an old craft, but if you have ever done it, I would love to see a picture of yours 🙂

Following an appearance at a memorial service in New York on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made an early and apparently wobbly exit as she was filmed almost fainting making her way into an SUV.
In a statement issued by her physician, Lisa Bardack, and released by her campaign, Clinton's doctor diagnosed the candidate with pneumonia, adding that Clinton was "overheated and dehydrated" during her public appearance.
RELATED: Election 2016: The Problem with Polls
Pneumonia is a common lung infection that can cause mild to severe illness in people of all ages, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Pneumonia can infect one or both lungs.
Typically symptoms of pneumonia may include high fever, persistent cough, chills, headaches, chest pain and more. At its most severe, pneumonia symptoms may include extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting and even coughing up blood.
Because the more mild signs of pneumonia can mimic a cold or flu -- and in fact Clinton had suffered from a "prolonged cold" related to allergies prior to her pneumonia diagnosis, according to her doctor -- the disease can initially go unnoticed. Clinton likely suffered from a classic case of "walking pneumonia," in which an individual is still ill but feels healthy enough to go about a normal routine.
The infection can be caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi. In the United States, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are most often responsible for viral pneumonia, while Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a common cause of bacterial pneumonia, the CDC notes. Pneumonia can also be induced by inhaling a liquid or chemical.
RELATED: Gender Doesn't Matter to U.S. Voters
Treatment for pneumonia generally includes bed rest and medications, typically antibiotics or antivirals depending on the cause of the disease. Even with treatment, some symptoms, such as fatigue, can last for a month or more.
Bacterial pneumonia is easier to recover from, with patients typically improving one to three days after antiobotic treatment, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Viral pneumonia sticks around a little longer, however, with symptoms persisting for one to three weeks even with proper treatment.
Pneumonia is preventable, and there are vaccines that hold off infection by some bacteria and viruses that cause the disease.

Kent Brown – Boxer, Survivor, Teacher
My name is Kent Brown. I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am a Fisher River Cree Band member. The spirit name I have been given is Black Wolf. I belong to the Wolf Clan. This story is about how my sport of boxing defined and inspired me to become the person that I am today.
I grew up in the north end of Winnipeg, a very dangerous neighborhood. Drugs, alcohol and gangs. Of course, there were good times too, growing up with my four cousins and younger brother. But we were poor, and there were times when we went hungry.
But tough as that was, it was the divorce of my parents that may have had the biggest impact. It made me angry and I needed something to deal with that anger. Boxing was it for me.
I'll never forget the day I walked into the basement gym of the City Boxing Club in Winnipeg. We got downstairs. It was dark and dingy and it smelled. And I absolutely fell in love.
I walked into the coach's office and said, "This is amazing! I want to join up! How much does it cost?" I also remember asking how many guys from this club went to the Olympic Games and he kind of looked at me funny and said, "None." And that's when I said, "So I'm gonna be the first one." And he laughed at me. And I didn't care. I was on Cloud Nine and I couldn't wait to start.
Starting meant picking up the whole discipline of it. Every day after school I rode my bike, jogged or took the bus to the gym. It was a regimen and I just fell in love with it, having to do certain things at certain times and setting goals.
At the same time this change was happening, life was not without challenges. Creator bless my family, but I have a lot of family members that have been in and out of prison. I really believe that if it weren't for the sport of boxing, I could have followed that same path. I would not have graduated. I would not have gone to university. I would not have had a professional job. I attribute that to boxing and the tools it gave me.
I was also very fortunate to have success in the ring. I got onto the National Boxing Team and, in 1999, became a national champion. I was the closest I would ever come to reaching my goal of being an Olympian, but it was not to be. A scoring controversy robbed me of my chance to go to the 2000 Sydney Olympics. I had won the fight, but it still wasn't enough to earn my place on the team.
It was a difficult time. I almost gave up my sport. But I had this teaching - you shouldn't give up. And I had this flame in my stomach and it was boxing that got me back on track. In my last fight, I won a gold medal in the North American Indigenous Games in Winnipeg, my hometown. It was a wonderful experience and I retired shortly after.
My fighting days over, I knew I wanted to give back. It was around that time that I met this fellow named Chris Wilson, a national team wrestler from Winnipeg who was part of the Esteem Team, a group of elite and world class athletes who speak to kids in school about goal setting. This was my way to give back to kids, my people, my community. I wanted to be part of this.
I remember speaking to a bunch of kids at a school outside of Flin-Flon and afterward this little kid came up to me and said, "After watching you and listening to you speak, I don't want to kill myself anymore." You don't listen to something like that without being moved. You realize, we don't do enough to give back to our people. We need more than just an hour to speak to everybody, we need a few days.
And that started my interest and involvement in a program called GEN7 – short for the seventh generation – where aboriginal athletes go into communities and use sports and physical activity to help the community. To get the kids together to show the importance of it.
Finally there's Fit First, a weight-loss show that I now host on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. The premise for the show is that we don't need a fancy gym for people to get healthy. Here's a program that people can use - the sport of boxing - and we can keep it fun and keep the interest of these individuals simply because it's just a fun thing to do.
And it's working: this really neat concept, having these people, mothers and grandmothers. One woman on the show – Leanne – her entire family lost weight because of doing this show.
In a roundabout way, boxing has defined me. Who am I? I'm a proud father of two beautiful girls and have another baby on the way with my beautiful partner.
None of this could I have done without my sport. I couldn't have been the person I am, I truly believe that. That's because of sport.

A quick guide to clean your pricy make-up brushes and keep the soft beauties pristine and completely bacteria-free
Now, let's be honest: make-up brushes are quite expensive, and for a variety of reasons we want to own them all. It's a big mystery to men that why we ladies need so many make-up brushes, but then a lot of things about us is a mystery for them.
Since these soft beauties are pricy, we want them to be in the most pristine condition. Also, unclean brushes lead to a bacteria build-up which can affect our skin. Hence, these glam tools require regular clean-ups.
Here are some ways in which you can keep your make-up brushes fancy, beautiful and clean.
The Bar Soap: This is pretty much the easiest way and it works well too. Wet your brush with lukewarm water and slowly massage it against a soft, sturdy bar soap. Once you think the brush has been massaged well and the soap has covered up all the bristles, wash it off with lukewarm water. Once the soap is off, tap it down on a soft, dry towel or a paper towel. Make sure you don't get the brush holder/barrel wet as it may loosen up the hold and make the bristles fall off.
The Deep Clean: This is for those of you who have not cleaned your brushes for ages. As suggested by naturallivingideas.com, mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with half a tablespoon of liquid dish wash soap in one cup of warm water. Soak your brushes in the mixture for a good amount of time, or till you see all the product build-ups break down. Then remove the brushes and rinse them with cold water, tap them off excess water with a soft paper towel and let them dry overnight. Your brushes are as good as new and absolutely bacteria-free!
The Baby Way: Got a child at home, then we are sure you have baby shampoo too. Take a pea size amount of baby shampoo on your palm, wet your brush and slowly start swirling it around. The shampoo will lather and residue will fall out. Once you think the dirt is out, wash the brush with warm water, pat it dry with a soft paper towel and let it dry completely. Your brushes are as soft as baby's hair.
There you have it, three different ways to keep your make-up brushes clean and beautiful. Now let's glam up!

It's been a beautiful sunny winter day so far. (Aside for the grammar aficionados: according to this site, the names of seasons are only written with a capital letter when the season has been in some way personified, as in I was captivated by Winter's stark beauty / Summer's shimmering heat / Spring's unfolding beauty (dang it, already used "beauty"; never mind) / Autumn's something-or-other-something: you get the idea. Sorry, rather a long aside so soon in the story.) That being so, and being still in holiday mode, and, what's more, being in need of a replenished stock of old newspapers for various purposes domestic, I decided, unusually, to stroll down to the village shop for a Sunday paper. (For anyone confused by the "old newspaper" allusion, I should explain that the said domestic purposes range from shoe polishing (not that I polish shoes with newspaper; rather, the newspaper acts as a base on which to conduct the polishing and to collect the inevitable bits of polish, mud and other detritus) to mopping up water that accidentally leaks through the back door when not properly closed. It is a fundamental necessity of domestic life that one must have a stock of old newspapers to call on. One cannot, by definition, have old newspapers if one never acquires, at some point, new newspapers. And since we do not, as a matter of course, read a newspaper then our stock, last supplemented in about 2011, inexorably shrank until the point of disappearance. Sorry. Another long aside.)
Let me add that I genuinely wished to read the paper; the domestic stock replenishment would be merely a happy side-effect.
Anyhoooo, as I walked the few hundred yards to the shop, be-hatted, be-scarved and be-gloved (grammar aficionados make of those constructs what you will), I passed our friend's house. Theirs being an old property that sits right on the pavement, I easily spotted my friend in the kitchen and she waved. They are the neighbours we know best and have quite a close friendship with. Days before, she had called round and left us a fabulous Christmas gift (pictured), so I seized the opportunity to trot across the road to thank her for the gift.
I explained the mission I was on and she asked me if I could do her a favour and buy her a copy of The Sunday Times, should one be available. As it turned out, there were none (I too had intended to buy a copy of TST but settled for The Independent on Sunday), so I duly returned her cash.
As I made my way home in the sunshine, I was struck in some admittedly vague, fuzzy way by the uplifting combination of the weather, the wave across the road, the request to buy the paper, the friendship we have with our neighbours, and the fact that she bought us the picture (which is full of Bible truths) although not (yet) believing herself.
So what's my point? Nothing profound – just a tiny occasion, a confluence of circumstances that I wanted to remember and thank God for. And to ask Him to bring about more of these Community Moments at home, at work and in church.

2 series:
Gen. 1
Gen. 2
The Volkswagen CrossGolf debuted at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The model based on the Golf Plus is an all-arounder that is supposed to bridge the gap between the MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) and SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). Together with the Golf, Golf Plus, Golf Variant, Golf GTI and the Golf R it becomes the sixth model in the Golf's range.
The five-door vehicle are powered by three 1.4 litre direct-injection turbocharged petrol (TSI) engines, with power outputs of 105 PS, 122 PS and 160 PS. The diesel range includes a 1.6 litre and a 2.0 litre engines with outputs of 105 and 140 PS respectively. As for the fuel consumption, for example, the 1.4 TSI, with its output of 160 PS and 250 Nm of torque has a combined fuel consumption of 6.8 litres of fuel per 100 km, which represents CO2 emissions of 159 g/km. In the diesel range the 140-PS TDI, shifted by a 6-speed gearbox, has a consumption of 5.3 litres of fuel and 138 g/km of CO2 emissions.

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
I don't know just how many times I've read Hebrews 13 but for some reason I had absolutely no recollection of this verse.
There are days when the music plays in my head all day, the praying in tongues rolls off my lips like honey, and the Spirit of LORD is upon me. I especially like the songs that name the name of Jesus in them. There is such power in that name.
The desire of my whole heart is to please God.
I am the product of his handiwork and I am awed by all he does in my life. I love how he shows up. He is a do-gooder too. He goes about doing good things for us to see. He answers our prayers, heals our infirmities, and blesses our soul.
He brings us up out of the muck and mire of our sin and shines his light on us. He carries our burdens, restores us to himself, gives us strength like wings on eagles.
Isaiah 40:30 But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Walk on.
Giving the sacrifice of praise! Lift holy hands. Praise His holy name. He is worthy, of honor, and glory, and power.
Asa lama lakum. "Peace be unto you."

Wigan late show denies Gillingham top spot
Wigan captain Craig Morgan's 96th-minute header denied Gillingham top spot in Sky Bet League One as the Latics came from two goals down to clinch a thrilling 3-2 win.
Gillingham just needed a point to move above Burton on goal difference and they had gone 2-0 up inside an hour through goals from Dominic Samuel and Rory Donnelly.
However, Will Grigg reduced the deficit and after goalkeeper Stuart Nelson allowed Max Power's long-range try to slip through his hands for the equaliser, Morgan popped up late on to nod in a corner in the sixth minute of time added on.
The visitors were bright in the first period and Bradley Dack's curling free-kick came back off the inside of the post before Donnelly blazed the rebound wide.
Dack then provided the pass for the opener midway through the first half, knocking a ball over the top for Samuel to latch on to and fire low beyond Jussi Jaaskelainen.
The hosts had plenty of opportunities to find the net themselves in the opening 45 minutes but Jason Pearce, Andy Kellett and Michael Jacobs were all guilty of spurning good chances.
Gillingham nearly doubled their advantage through Dack, who cut through the Latics' defence only to knock it wide when trying to go around Jaaskelainen.
However, eight minutes after the break, it was 2-0 as Doug Loft's back-post cross was headed in from close range by Donnelly.
Wigan were not dead and buried, though, and within 14 minutes they had hauled themselves level.
Grigg pulled one back by firing home from Michael Jacobs' header back across goal and then Power's long-range effort somehow squirmed past Nelson's grasp and into the net three minutes later.
Gary Caldwell's side pushed for a winner and they were rewarded when Power's deep corner was headed into the top corner by skipper Morgan in the final stages.

The Red Sea is blessed with a unique ecosystem. It is home to 1,248 identified species of fish, out of which more than 200 are endemic, and 250 species of coral, out of which around 20 can only be found in the Red Sea. The sea that divides the African from the Asian continent is one of the few places in the world, where you can dive with hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks and oceanic white tip sharks on one and the same dive. Some of the most exciting underwater encounters imaginable can also take place in the Red Sea: dolphins, whale sharks, mantas and dugongs are often present here even if you need a fair portion of luck and a great deal of patience to find them.
But it is also a sea in deep trouble. Today thousands of divers and snorkelers come from all over the world to explore the Red Sea. The stress it is exposed to increases on a daily basis. This situation called for rules that have been implemented to protect the marine life. Rules include:
Additionally, there are many laws and regulations when it comes to fishing activities in the Red Sea. To read more about that, please go to our Sustainable Fishing section.
Unfortunately, many boat operators and individuals still do not follow the regulations implemented to protect the sea. Anchors are still being thrown out on the reefs, trawlers pass by on a regular basis and protected areas like offshore islands are being used to fish and sunbath. There is a clear lack of enforcement when it comes to making sure that the rules are being followed.
If we want the Red Sea to have a chance of a survival, this inappropriate behaviour needs to change immediately. Overfishing is already an issue that affects our waters to a large extent. Corals are breaking due to irresponsible behaviour of snorkelers and divers. More and more seabirds, turtles and marine mammals die because of ingested plastic that was thrown overboard.
For this reason HEPCA wants to invest in a new boat to patrol the Red Sea and fight illegal activities. And we need YOUR HELP to put this plan into action!
"The official Dive Guide to the Red Sea" is a book covering more than 50 dive sites in El Gouna, Shaab Abu Nuhas, Safaga and Hurghada. It gives specific information about each dive site including map, topography, description and dive plan and is a useful tool for everyone, who dives the Red Sea.
It is available in English and German language and can be purchased in many local dive centres and dive equipment stores along the Red Sea. It is also available in the HEPCA head office, Hurghada New Marina.
The income from every dive guide sold will go directly into the purchase of a new patrol boat. We need to sell at least 3000 copies in order to raise the money needed for the boat!
Once this is done, we can be out there every day and make sure that irresponsible behaviour will face hard times and eventually become less and less.
Please help us fight illegal activities in the Red Sea and get your copy of the "Official Dive Guide to the Red Sea" today!

A Soldier's Choice
I'm a little late getting my post up today, so I thought I'd surprise everyone with a short story. Enjoy…
It is quite unnerving when the Battalion Commander summons you to his office, even on a good day. However, when your Section Chief bails you out of a German jail just two days prior, you know your visit will not be a pleasant one.
I don't know which bothered me more, the armed guard at my side or the fact that no one would believe that I was justified in my actions.
As we approached the closed door of Colonel Radcliff's office, I found it odd that he had two guards stationed on either side of it. They must have been newbies because I didn't recognize either one of them. This was not my first trip to his office, but then it was the first under these circumstances.
"So much for his famous open door policy," I muttered as we came to a stop three paces from the door.
"You'd do well to check that attitude soldier," The guard at my side scolded, before announcing our arrival.
"Send him in!" Colonel Radcliff barked at him from behind his desk.
I marched into the room, snapped to attention, and saluted the Colonel. "Sergeant Crow, reporting as ordered, Sir!"
"At ease trooper," he commanded, returning my salute before retrieving his cigar from the ashtray.
I let my gaze drift over the two men in the room as I assumed the at ease position. One bore a single star on either shoulder that marked him as a general. The other soldier was a Command Sergeant Major. Both men bore the much-coveted Ranger tab and were holding black berets. I guess JAG was sending in the big guns for this one.
"This is General Seaton and Sergeant Major Stevens. Sergeant Crow, I have just been going over your records here. This is quite a mixed bag I'm holding in my hand. On one hand, I see several medals and achievement awards. This is absolutely stellar for a soldier your age. On the other hand, you are constantly in some sort of trouble, always pushing the limits of the law. Did you know your squad leader recommended that we seek your discharge on a section 8? Do you know what that means?"
"Yes sir, I do. It means Lieutenant McCrae thinks I'm crazy," I answered, hoping it wasn't a rhetorical question.
"Your damn right he does. It says here that he observed you jumping out of your barracks window and nearly landing on him. Your room is on the second floor, why would you do such a thing?"
"Sir, we were almost out of beer and the PX was about to close. I thought the window would be a much faster means of egress than the stairs," I replied, trying not to let my face slip into a smile.
"Well, your just a regular comedian aren't soldier?" Colonel Radcliff asked, clearly boggled by my audacity.
I knew better than to say anything. There was clearly no right answer to that question.
"It says here that you have been busted six times for assault. You must really enjoy fighting. Do you have an inferiority complex son?"
"No sir, I just have a little trouble knowing when to stand down."
"And now you have stabbed a German civilian. What's worse you did it in front of the Polizei. Of course, you couldn't go with them quietly, you took it upon yourself to fight with them as well."
"Sir, I stabbed him with the same knife that he tried to stab me with. That is what I was trying to explain to the Polizei. It was self-defense. I would have went with them quietly but they were handling me rougher than I thought was necessary, especially when I hadn't done anything wrong," I interrupted to plead my case.
"Oh, I see now. It is all a conspiracy. I suppose everything else in this report is just some sort of misunderstanding as well and the Polizei just happened to miss the fact that their boy had the knife first?" He baited me.
"No Sir. I have done everything else that you see in that record and worse, but the Polizei rolled up just in time to see me sink the knife into that German's backside."
"You stabbed him in the ass?" he asked as he shuffled through the papers on the desk in front of him.
"Yes sir, I told him when he pulled it on me that if he didn't put the knife away I was going to shove it up his ass."
All three of them broke into laughter. I guess the German Police had omitted that part of the altercation from their report.
"Well son, at least you warned him first." Stevens quipped, still smiling.
The colonel nodded at him before returning his attention to his papers. I could feel both the General and Sergeant Major appraising me as I stood there.
"Your report also says that you have a knack for languages. You have listed six different ones that you are fluent in.. What drives a man to learn so many languages?" He asked, peering up at me over his glasses.
"I found it's a great way to meet girls, sir," I replied through a smile, rousing another round of laughs from my otherwise silent observers.
"You applied for Ranger training within two months of your arrival here. There is a war going on son. We are liberating Kuwait. You don't feel that my unit is good enough to fight with?" He asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Sir, the way I see it, I am going to fight in this war sooner or later. I just want to be as highly trained as possible when I do it. You have a fine group of men assembled under you, but when the shit hits the fan, I don't want to be surrounded by good soldiers. I want to be surrounded by the best."
"Why was he rejected Colonel?" Seaton asked after casting a glance at Stevens.
"His squad leader claimed he was psychologically unstable," he replied with a shake of his head.
"Ah hell, who isn't in this day and age?" Stevens added with a nod.
"Well son, have you given any thought of what you are going to do when all of this is over?" The Colonel asked, returning his attention to me.
"I'm afraid I don't understand the question sir."
"I mean to say, you can't soldier forever. You tour will be up in another year and they won't let you re-up with the criminal record you have amassed. If the Army doesn't want a man with a criminal record, how many civilian employers do you think will be willing to give you a chance?"
"I guess I haven't thought that far ahead, sir." I replied softly, realizing for the first time that I was not only accountable for my actions, but for the affects my actions would have on my future.
"What do you think, Sergeant Major Stevens?" The Colonel asked, watching him rub his chin.
"He is a little rough around the edges, but he has the look that could blend in with about any of them and it sounds like he has the tenacity to get the job done."
"We have a mission for you that is highly unorthodox. It will put you through a highly modified Ranger course. If you choose to accept it, your record will be wiped clean and you will never see a courtroom over your latest transgression."
"What's the catch?" I asked wondering what they wanted from me that would be worth so much to them.
"You will only have two months of training in an undisclosed desert location. You will live off of goat meat and dried dates. You will live, eat, and sleep with the six men that will be with you on the mission. You will learn to speak as much Kurdi as possible in that time. When you deploy for your mission, you will not be wearing your Army Uniform."
"Will I be issued an Iraqi Uniform then?" I wondered aloud, not sure if I liked where this was heading.
"The clothing we have seen worn by the Iraqi troops makes a mockery of the word uniform. But you will be given something that will pass for one."
"What's the assignment, sir?" I asked, realizing that this was sounding more and more like a suicide mission.
"I can't tell you that, son. The only other thing I can tell you before you make your decision is how long you will be on the mission. We are asking for two weeks. Just two weeks worth of work and you get a brand new start."
So I must decide between a life with no future and a life that will probably be cut short. I wondered what I would be doing for those two weeks. Oh well, sanity has never been my strong point.
"Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!"

I love science-fiction. Always have. It's the genre I gravitate to, and usually the one where I run out of new films to watch.
This evening, I watched The Last Days on Mars (Wikipedia/IMDB), again on PPStream (火星上的最后时日).
The central plot to the movie involves a Mars outpost crew already psychologically fraying after six long and seemingly fruitless months on the Red Planet suddenly discovering alien bacterial life on the day before their replacement crew and ride home to Earth arrives. A mishap occurs and a member of the crew dies but, being exposed to the alien bacteria, is soon reanimated into a zombie-like creature
who that goes about attacking the rest of them.
Each crew member that falls soon becomes yet another zombie, and these are zombies that apparently know how to use power drills, take off their own space suits, and use explosives to blow up doors in their way. And only the egotistical British bitch that everyone hates apparently had seen enough pop culture zombie movies to realize they should zip-tie an infected person down after they die and before they turn.
What follows is a lot of suspenseful running around and fighting for survival, where any injury caused means infection, memory loss, and a serious thirst for water.
The main character is Vincent, played by the same guy that played Sabertooth, and he appears to be the station's resident handyman, responsible for fixing this and that. Repeatedly throughout the movie, Vincent suffers disorientating panic-attacks where all of the sudden he flashes back to an incident on the crew's 6-month journey from Earth to Mars on a massive spaceship. It's never explained why, but he apparently lost it, opened an airlock hatch, and nearly vented himself into space. Since then, he's been nervous about the hatches, airlocks, and the trip back overall, ostensibly fearing he'd end up doing something similar, and thus never quite get back home.
You get the feeling this is all included in the movie to give added depth to the character of Vincent, as some sort of personal struggle or demon. You may even think Vincent's ultimate fate where he may not have to worry about going back to Earth at all is a sort of ironic juxtaposition to the fear that had been debilitating him. Yet, it doesn't quite come together, and you end up feeling all those dizzying flashback scenes were an annoying waste of time, especially because they don't really impact the central plot of fleeing from zombies.
Excepting this, the film overall was quite well done, even if there's nothing particularly new or unique about its central premise, which may remind you of Prometheus (Wikipedia/IMDB), except without as much disappointment and head-scratching.
The environment and technology were all impressively detailed and reasonably realistic. One particular nice touch was the abundance of corporate sponsorship logos plastered all over the exterior of the outpost and rovers, perhaps accurately suggesting that corporate money will fund the space exploration of the future?
4/5 stars.

Zachary Mainen, PhD
Principal Investigator
Zachary Mainen is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on the brain mechanisms of decision-making. He studied psychology and philosophy at Yale University, received his doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego, and held a faculty position at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, before moving to Lisbon, Portugal in 2007 to found the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme, where he was the Director between 2009-2014. In 2014, Mainen was named co-Director of Champalimaud Research, along with Dr. Rui Costa. His work has been recognised by two Advanced Investigator Grants of the European Research Council (2010 and 2015) and the election to the European Molecular Biology Organisation. Mainen's research explores brain function, especially decision-making, using theory-driven experimental approaches. His laboratory helped to pioneer the use of quantitative behavioural paradigms in rodents and combines those approaches with electrophysiological, optical and genetic techniques to study neural representation and computation. He has a long-standing interest in the issue of how noise and uncertainty impact neural systems and behaviour and our understanding of these processes. His lab is currently exploring these questions in the context of odour-guided perceptual decisions and learning, the timing and selection of simple actions, and the role of the neuromodulator serotonin in behaviour and cortical function. This work touches on philosophical issues surrounding causality, free will, knowledge and belief.

The Parish Council has been notified of the following planning application:
Yew Tree House, Drummery Lane, Wrockwardine, Telford, Shropshire, TF6 5DH
Conversion of existing outbuilding to ancillary living accommodation.
Please Note
Wrockwardine Parish Council is NOT the Planning Authority; this is the function of The Borough Council. The view of the Parish Council does not carry any extra weight (over and above any other resident) nor is it guaranteed to be taken into account when any decision is made by the Borough Council. The Parish Council is simply invited, by the Borough Council, to give its views on planning applications. If a planning application affects you, or you have a view which you wish to be taken into consideration by the Planning Officers of the Borough Council then it is important that you convey that opinion directly to the relevant authority (which is Telford and Wrekin Council). The Parish Council is unable to "pass on" the views of others to the Planning Authority but it may take into account the views of residents of the Parish when deciding upon its own position on any particular application.

Three From Six for 21st November 2017
There are six given challenging images. The task is to choose up to three of these six images and apply whatever techniques you desire to the images to improve/alter/manipulate/create etc. These images will then be projected on the evening and each author will be asked to summarise what they did and why.
Each image is supplied in JPG and RAW format.
How to Get the Images
You can use either of these two methods, method 1 or method 2…
Method 1
All 12 files (JPG and RAW) can be downloaded in one zip file using this link (file size 131MB)
Method 2
Alternatively if you would prefer to download smaller files you can select the same files using these options
All six JPGs can be downloaded using this link (file size 44MB)
And any of the 6 RAW files can be downloaded individually
Image 1 RAW DNG (12MB)
Image 2 RAW DNG (14MB)
Image 3 RAW DNG (12MB)
Image 4 RAW CR2 (9MB)
Image 5 RAW ORF (16MB)
Image 6 RAW DNG (23MB)
All of the above links are to files in the standard ZIP file format. Most computers will open a ZIP file when you double click it. Otherwise a Windows ZIP utility can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org/
What to Do
You may work from the supplied JPG or RAW file as you prefer. Do only 1 to 3 images (not all 6.)
The RAW files should be readable by recent Photoshop/Elements/Lightroom versions as well as many other image editing programs. If you are unable to open the RAW file you will need to work from the JPG.
It will be very informative, when you come to talk about your work, if you have kept a record of how you went about processing each of your chosen image(s): did you have a clear idea of what you wanted to do, did that materialize or did you change your mind, why, what filters, software and processing steps did you take.
The final completed JPG image, in the usual 1600 x 1200 pixel format in sRGB, should have your name and the image number in the filename field, e.g. 5_Jane Smith_Image 5.jpg.
Email this image to the standard PDI competition address below (although this is not a competition) by November 14th
Some members might like to keep copies of interim steps to demonstrate their process. If you do please only email in the final image but let me know that you have these other images so that we can arrange some additional facilities for your talk.
We look forward to interesting and informative members' evening.

The Royal Bank of Scotland is looking to move out of its offices at the Angel, Islington. The offices – controversial from the start because of the 'dead space' at street level – were built for the bank but then sold and leased back, according to The Scotsman. Their report goes on to say that RBS are trying to get out of the lease – and expecting Islington Council to take it on. RBS obviously like taxpayer bailouts.
That's the headline from ZDNet, reporting the Mayor's promise of free wifi across London by the 2012 Olympics.
As the article goes on to point out, it does not say how this will be acheived, nor how it will be funded. So far, so Boris.
There is a happy precedent here in Islington. The 'technology mile' of free wifi along the Upper Street corridor is an initiative that I promoted for Islington – one of the first of its kind.
In an age before people could get online on their phones, we wanted people to be able to get online in the park or at the bus-stop, or in an independent cafe.
A similar scheme has since been introduced by Peabody on some of its estates around Whitecross Street in EC1.
I think this community wifi is a great idea. However, it's exactly the kind of provision that's under threat from the Digital Economy Act.
Having led the opposition to the Act within the Liberal Democrats, I was delighted we voted again to urge repeal of its worst provisions at our special conference on the coalition agreement last Sunday.
Now we need Boris to put similar pressure on his Tory colleagues in the coalition, if there is to be any comfort from his blanket.
Once again, I've been too busy to update my blog for a bit. Not for lack of news or views, but lack of time to share them.
So here's another quick roundup:
I've been busy lobbying away on the Digital Economy Bill, including signing a letter to the Guardian and speaking to the Open Rights Group anti-disconnection rally.
I spoke at a public meeting on asylum and immigration issues, organised by the local Amnesty International group. I am a longterm supporter of Amnesty International – I used to host letter writing groups in my home – and I am a Friend of the Refugee Council. During my time as deputy leader of Islington Council, and one of my most enjoyable roles was carrying out the citizenship ceremonies to welcome new citizens to the borough and hearing their very different and often moving stories. So I am keen to support the Let Them Work campaign.
It's shameful that asylum seekers are kept in poverty, even criminalised, instead of being allowed to work; meanwhile the dehumanising bureaucracy takes years to process their cases while costing us all a fortune. By working asylum seekers, many of them highly-educated, could support themselves and their families, put their skills to service in society, and pay taxes. Jeremy Corbyn MP, who spoke as well, completely agrees with the LibDems on this: unfortunately his Government does not.
I've continued my programme of visits to locally-based charities with a interesting meeting with RNID; several members of my family live with hearing loss, and I suffered severe (thankfully temporary) hearing loss for some months a few years ago, so RNID's work is close to my heart. They do excellent, practical work championing hearing tests, and pressing for sensible access measures, like ensuring that inductive loops actually work. More dramatically, research they are funding could lead to a cure for noise-induced hearing loss.
This week I've been popping back and forth to Westminster too. On Saturday I was at the Scout Association's 'Virgin Voters' event, meeting first-time voters and young citizens to hear their views. Top priorities were affordable transport and student funding, as well as concerns about cleaning up politics, climate change, and jobs, that voters of all ages might well share.
On Wednesday, I started the day in Westminster, chairing a meeting for Oxfam on climate change. It's easy to despair in the face of the challenge of climate change. Communities in some of the poorest nations are already living with droughts or floods – or, in the case of Pakistan, both. Oxfam's projects there show how you can tackle poverty and work with the grain of local people while tackling climate change too: very inspiring.
There have been celebrations this week, a welcome chance to unwind after canvassing: on Saturday, I joined the Zimmers party for lead singer Alf Carretta's birthday. On Tuesday we were marking 50 years of the Islington Society. On Wednesday night, the party was for Bob Gilbert, the much-loved green guru of Islington, who is taking early retirement from the Council to be a fulltime Dad and writer. And on Thursday I was celebrating the completion of phase 1 of the Packington estate. Beautiful canalside flats, all for local tenants from the old Packingon Square, a great achievement by the residents in partnership with Hyde Housing and Rydon.
Thursday also marked the end of an era, with the last Islington Council meeting before the local elections on 6 May. There are many good councillors retiring, including my colleagues Lucy Watt, Ruth Polling and former leader James Kempton. But the real sadness is the death of Councillor Donna Boffa, just a week ago. She was an amazing woman, who, in her short life, did what all politicians should aspire to do: make a difference. My tribute to her will be online soon.
As LibDem campaigners, we are used to pounding the streets in all weathers for a cause we believe in. Still, yesterday's Whittington march was something special.
It might have, literally, been a damp squib given the heavy rain that started pouring just as people were due to assemble at Highbury corner. Add in Archway tube being closed and Arsenal playing (albeit away) and there were plenty of excuses for people not to turn up. But that would be to underestimate the passion local people feel about the Whittington, and the way the campaign to save it has gained genuine across-the-board support.
That support is something we've certainly found on the doorstep. On Monday I was at Downing Street handing in the first 2,000 signatures from our Save the Whittington petition. The petition is still open for signatures, and given the 5,000 folk on the march, there's plenty more to come.
The people I met on the march were an amazing range. Yes, there were some of the usual suspects, 'rent-a-trots' who go on a different demo every week. Much more there were ordinary folk from Islington and beyond who use the Whittington and don't want to see it downgraded. There was David, currently a cancer patient at the Whittington, poorly, but determined to march. There was Pat who has had three generations of her family get treatment there. And Julie who works with health charities and can't believe the powers that be could ever consider running down our hospital.
Liberal Democrats were out in force, from Lynne Featherstone MP and Islington Council leader Terry Stacy at the head of the march, to local teams from Islington, Camden, Enfield and Haringey marching behind them. So many communities will be affected if the Whittington plans go ahead.
The local Council, the cross-party Defend the Whittington campaign, and some amazing publicity from the Islington Tribune (who were on the march with a bus and a band) made the march happen. The passion and anger of ordinary people made it huge.
But what none of us can do is make it clear who who decides the fate of our hospital. We only know the Whittington is under threat because of leaked documents. Despite a decade of talk about the new localism and making public services more accountable, the opposite seems to be happening with our NHS. Community Health Councils were abolished and a complicated quangocracy reports only to the Secretary of State.
As the Save Finsbury Health Centre campaign notes, "What our campaign has really been up against, however, is an entirely unaccountable system of healthcare governance…. Worse still, even after our elected local representatives have investigated an NHS decision in such detail they have no direct power to change it. Perhaps if they did and the non-execs on the PCT board were themselves directly elected, the executive officials would not feel so free to ignore public feeling, population trends, geography, transport and real costs." That's equally true of the Whittington.
All local politicians claim to want to save the Whittington. What Labour MPs won't say is that their colleague, Andy Burnham, is the one politician who could do that tomorrow, if he wanted. Instead all we get is buck-passing from his juniors.
Only the Liberal Democrats are pledging to change the system to give us the locally accountable NHS that would improve our local services, not undermine them.
More evidence that despite optimistic Government pronouncements, the long tail of the recession is still affecting us.
Shelter have published figures showing a fall in house-building, mortgage lending is down, and unemployment in London is the worst since Labour came to power in 1997.
Last week I met with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors, based in Finsbury. They do great work cracking down on cowboy traders, and promoting green roofs, in partnership with the inspiring Dusty Gedge. But like many in the construction industry, their members are facing a downturn in orders, with knockon effects on suppliers and retailers across the country.
There's a stronger case than ever for the kind of green jobs programme that the Liberal Democrats are promoting, including plans to bring quarter of a million empty homes into use. These are jobs that help communities with better housing and transport, while fighting climate change; and as hands-on jobs, they can't be exported. That's good news for the roofers too.
The recession may have caused a fall in new building, but Islington remains one of the most densely populated parts of the UK, so getting the right planning policies is vital. As I've blogged before, most of us only get involved in the planning process when a particular proposal comes up that affects us; but by then the planning policies have already been written. Islington's planning policy framework, the core strategy, is under review.
Now the Council has produced a useful summary of the latest changes proposed following input from various groups in the borough, plus outside agencies like English Heritage. They range from stronger support for independent shops to providing sites for travellers and gypsies.
The core strategy is out for consultation now. Have your say by writing to Freepost, RSEA-CUHA-YYAS, Planning Policy, Islington Council, Upper Street, London, N1 1XR, or via email. Any comments must be received by 5pm on Monday 22 March and will then go on to the Planning Inspector who has the final say on the Islington plans.
North Londoners are facing some big public transport challenges over the coming months.
First the London Overground is being shut completely through Islington for upgrading from 20 February 2010 until 31 May 2010, with weekend closures for longer. That's bad enough but just about bearable on its own. But now the Northern Line is facing regular closures too.
Incidentally, quite apart from messing up all those existing journeys, this makes a real mockery of the idea that it's in any way easy for Islington residents to get to the Royal Free instead of Whittington. At least we have a direct, 24 hour bus to A&E at the Whittington, even if the trains aren't running.
Tubelines are the surviving partners in Gordon Brown's big idea for financing tube improvements, the Public Private Partnership or PPP. Like the other PFI deals, it was set up as a fixed-price, longterm contract, that would 'outsource risk' to the private sector by setting financial penalties if the job wasn't done to time and on cost. So how has that worked in practice?
Metronet found they couldn't deliver as agreed, so first asked for more money and more time – and then walked away from the job. Tubelines, still with us, are relatively-speaking, the good guys. They've completed their projects so far by playing a more cautious game: but that involves charging more money over a longer timescale than many commentators think is necessary. Londoners are literally paying the price, in taxes, in fare rises and in disruption. So much for outsourcing the risk.
These are points my feisty female colleagues Susan Kramer, Lynne Featherstone and Caroline Pidgeon have also made. Who says transport is a male issue? And who still thinks the PPP was a good idea?

It's understandable why so many millennials are wary of homeownership.
Many of them are already saddled with student debt while trying to find stable employment, and they saw their parents struggle to keep houses they couldn't afford during the financial crisis. A recent MacArthur Foundation survey of Millennials found that 76 percent say homeownership is harder for them than previous generations, but a full 88 percent aspire to this goal, and 53 percent report it's a high priority.
Homeownership is a great opportunity for many people—young adults in particular. In addition to the psychological and emotional benefits of owning a home, it builds wealth. Like any investment, typically the longer you own a home, the greater the chances of a high return on investment. In order to bridge the gap between the perceived difficulty of buying a home and the pressing desire to own a home, young adults need to dig into finding out what really goes into purchasing a home.
You will generally need a credit score of at least 580 to qualify for most mortgage loans. The higher your credit score, the more attractive your mortgage options will be. In other words, if you can prove you're a responsible borrower, you will qualify for lower-interest loans, which makes it easier to afford a home and will save you money over the long-term.
To help hit a solid credit score, pay at least the minimum on all your debt payments on time, every month, and keep balances to 25 percent or less of your credit limits. Check your credit report at least once per year and immediately and take steps to resolve any suspicious activity. For more information, see how to boost your credit score.
This is the monthly recurring debt payments—typically mortgage loan, credit card, student loan, or car loan payments—as a percentage of your income. In general, a mortgage lender will approve a mortgage with payments of no more than 28 percent of your income, and total recurring debt payments of 36 percent of your income, though this number can go as high as 43 percent in some cases.
In general, lenders require borrowers put down at least 20 percent of the purchase price of a home upon closing. If you don't have that much, you'll be required to take a second mortgage to make up that 20 percent, or pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), which costs an average of about one percent of the original loan amount per year, typically until you have 20 percent equity in the home. Of course, the bigger the down payment, the more equity you will have in the home, and the sooner you may be able to pay off the loan.

Despite the vehement protestations of NSW coach Laurie Daley, referees Ben Cummins and Gerard Sutton have been retained for State of Origin II.
Daley was highly critical of the performances of Cummins and Sutton in Origin I two weeks ago and said in the immediate aftermath of NSW's 6-4 defeat he would ask that the veteran duo not control game two.
However, the NRL and referees boss Tony Archer have not given in to Daley's demands.
The experienced duo, who controlled every Origin game last year and the 2015 grand final, have been appointed to officiate game two next week in Brisbane.
"I thought they both performed well in game one and they've held their form in the NRL since then," Archer said on Tuesday.
"They are the most-proven referees at this level and they deserve to referee in game two. "They are clearly the best officials for the job."
Daley is unlikely to be impressed after being scathing of the officiating two weeks ago in Sydney.
"Put it this way, I will be asking for those two referees to not officiate in game two ... there's your story," Daley said at the time.
When asked what he based his thoughts on, Daley replied: "Based on history and based on that game. There were plenty of big calls that happened."

BOSTON (Reuters) - Oracle Corp forecast that its profit in the current quarter will beat Wall Street estimates, suggesting that its strategy of offering a one-stop shop for software and hardware is paying off.
Shares in the company run by Silicon Valley billionaire Larry Ellison rose almost 4 percent after it also reported new software sales surged past its own forecasts.
"It's a nice present for shareholders," a JP Morgan analyst told Oracle executives during an earnings conference call.
Oracle, which has spent more than $42 billion on acquisitions over the past six years including its January 2010 purchase of hardware maker Sun Microsystems, has seen sales grow faster than those of rivals as it cross-sells its database, middleware, business management software and hardware to the same set of customers.
Avian Securities analyst Jeff Gaggin said that strategy has helped Oracle win business away from rivals including Hewlett-Packard Co, International Business Machines Corp and SAP AG.
"I'm not convinced that this necessarily means the IT spending environment is robust, but it certainly suggests that Oracle's strategy is paying off," Gaggin said.
Still, Oracle wasn't the only major technology company to release strong results on Thursday. BlackBerry maker Research in Motion reported results that mostly beat expectations and it forecast strong profits for the current quarter.
Oracle said sales of new software climbed 21 percent from a year earlier to $2 billion during its fiscal second quarter ended November 30.
Three months ago, the company forecast that those sales would rise between 6 and 16 percent.
Investors pay close attention to new software sales because they generate high-margin, long-term maintenance contracts and are a good gauge of the company's future profits.
The world's No. 3 software maker said it has a $2 billion pipeline of sales of its Exadata computers. Three months ago the company sized the pipeline at $1.5 billion.
Exadata are specialized computers for handling tasks such as analyzing business trends that come preloaded with Oracle's software.
Oracle forecast that it will report profit, excluding items, of 48 cents to 50 cents per share in its current quarter. That's above the average analyst forecast of 46 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company reported second-quarter profit, excluding items, of 51 cents per share, beating the average analyst forecast of 46 cents.
Revenue climbed 48 percent from a year earlier to $8.58 billion, buoyed by sales from the acquisition of Sun. That handily beat the average analyst forecast of $8.34 billion.
It posted hardware sales of $1.08 billion, slightly below the $1.1 billion that analysts were expecting.
"Hardware was so-so," said Cowen & Co analyst Peter Goldmacher. That was a bad sign, he said, because Oracle executives have said that they are looking to Exadata sales to fuel long-term growth.
Oracle's shares rose 3.9 percent to $31.46 after closing at $30.27 on Nasdaq.
