Sophie Roberts, a pupil at St Gregory's Catholic Primary School Stratford upon Avon, has won first prize in the Stratford upon Avon Firework Safety Poster Competition 2017.
Warwickshire County Council's Trading Standards and Fire and Rescue Service organise the annual competition to help warn children about the dangers of fireworks. Children are asked to design a poster or write a poem that will help warn children and young people about the dangers of fireworks.
Warwickshire County Councillor Howard Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Community Safety said:
"I'm delighted that so many Warwickshire school children have entered this year's competition. The poems and posters have been very imaginative and I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate both our winners and thank everyone for taking part.
"Many children love to watch fireworks, but it's important that they are kept safe. Warwickshire's Trading Standards and Fire and Rescue Service seek to keep children safe by helping to ensure that fireworks are stored safely, are not sold to young people under the age of 18 and that children are protected when they attend firework events."
Each winner will receive a £25 book token and a visit to a fire station. Their poster or poem will also be used as part of the November 2018 campaign.

text: Quality sorting of sawlogs is becoming more and more common. This is the result of increasing production of customer specific products in combination with high raw material prices. Today, log quality sorting is being based on either 3D or X-ray scanning techniques. Previous research has shown that sorting accuracy is improved when using multivariate models to combine variables from both 3D and X-ray scanners. There is however a potential of further improving the sorting if 3D and X-ray data are combined at an earlier stage; from the measured 3D shape a better estimate of the X-ray path lengths through the log may be found, thus enabling the calculation of a log density profile from the measured X-ray attenuation. The development and evaluation of such a technique is the topic of current research at SP Trätek and Luleå University of Technology in Skellefteå. Preliminary results show that the method is good at calculating large scale properties such as heartwood content and heartwood and sapwood densities. When looking for smaller geometric objects, e. g., knot whorls, extra care must be taken so that observational errors from the 3D scanner do not compromise the X-ray data. Software simulating industrial X-ray scanner data from CT-scanned logs has also been developed. A very good agreement was found between simulated data and actual data from an industrial installation. This underlines that such a simulation tool is very valuable when developing algorithms for industrial X-ray scanners.

Fat Nino, the guy who empties the night-shift trash cans at the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, told his Uncle Di that the rumor is rife that Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, former head of the Legionaries of Christ, got clobbered in the latest round of the Holy See's investigations. Ordinarily I wouldn't bother to pass on the tip, but it was Nino, after all, who called Chris Carpenter for a Cy Young winner last February.

2012 Aston Martin Project AM 310
During this past week-end at the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance, Aston Martin has displayed the new Project AM 310 - a preview version of the next generation DBS set to be unveiled in August at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
While Aston Martin is still not offering any official details on this new concept, numerous internet sources are suggesting that the AM 310 will be powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine with output increased to 573 HP - an increase o 63 HP over the engine currently used in model likeV12 Vantage, DBS and DB9.
Also, the new AM 310 will be featuring a lightweight construction and comes with a transaxle gearbox and wishbone suspension. The concept is also making intense use of carbon fiber elements, while it is easily to notice lots of design elements inspired by the One-77 supercar - a feature already confirmed for the next DBS.
All we can say is that sure the next DBS will be bolder and more aggressive and we can hardly wait to see it on the roads.
Hit the jump to watch the Aston Martin Project AM 310 in action at Villa d'Este.
UPDATE 06/04/12: Aston Martin has released a new teaser video of the Project AM310, calling it "The Art of Aston Martin". It's got plenty of shots of thunder clouds, a Japanese samurai, a fighter pilot, and even a shark - but no sign of the Project AM310. Talk about the ultimate tease.
UPDATE 06/15/12: Even if Aston Martin has already unveiled the AM 310 Project at the Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance, the company is continuing to tease the new supercar and also announced the new 310 will arrive soon.
UPDATE 02/19/13: Aston Martin's Project AM310 is a saucy piece of ride. That's why Aston Martin is taking the time to release a new promo video of the limited edition supercar, complete with emphasis on the car's carbon fiber body, the chassis, and most importantly, the powerful V12 engine. Check it out by clicking on the photo above.

Which scriptures, Arauna? I'm open to discussing them with you. As the "new creation", they are both human and spirit, as Jesus showed his disciples when he appeared to them after his resurrection. 1 Pet 1:23; 2 Cor 5:17; Mark 16:12; John 21:14; 1 Cor 15:3-8 "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters." Rom 8:29 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Cor 5:17 " And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man." 1 Cor 15:49 NKJV "And just as we have borne the image of the one who is made of earth, we will also bear the image of the heavenly." LEB "You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him." Rom 8:9 "But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly" Heb 12:22 Jerusalem's temple was made with stones (Matt 24:2), God's Temple today in Christ, is made with "living stones", who are also His priests. Individually and unitedly as Christ's Bride, they are the dwelling place of God's Spirit, just as the old earthly temple was blessed with God's Spirit. But no longer is there any definitive example of a temple built in a definitive place. The anointed priesthood are His Temple and House of God. 1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17; Eph 2:20-22 They are his spiritual "organization". This is why the new creation is both. There are many scriptures in my post that show the Bride with Christ, coming down from heaven. Rev 21:1-3 He had an earthly body when he appeared to his disciples. He also ate with them. Should we limit God's Hand to what He can accomplish with a "new creation"? Was it limited when He created Adam and Eve and life in general? Or, when Jesus appeared and disappeared to his disciples? For those who are "conformed to the image of His Son" wouldn't they have the ability to do the same? Oh Arauna, I am not the one saying I will be "co-ruler" with Christ before Christ makes the choice. That would be your GB. Matt 25:21 Besides, "co-ruler" isn't a word found in the Bible. There is only one anointed Body of Christ. The scriptures are above in the post of what those members are. (1 Cor 12). At the patience of the Librarian, I've posted links for anyone who cares to, can visit. The "good news" is the restoration of "Jacob"/"Israel". Isa 44:23; Mal 3:1-3; Matt 17:11 …"the inhabited earth" (Matt 24:14) refers to God's holy people. John 14:23; 1 Cor 3:9 They are God's owned land – "Israel". In the last days, they receive the message to "come out of her my people". Jer 25:29,30; Matt 10:23; Rev 11:1-3; 18:4-8 They and those with them, are drinking in the lie that an earthly organization leads one to salvation. Rev 12:13-17; 2 Thess 2:9-12; Rev 13:1,2;18:4-8 "The Symbolic Earth" - http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2016/06/symbolic-earth.html
The bible itself says that we must not have fellowship with those who are brazen in conduct. There is no "threat". When a person is a spiritual threat to other brothers and sisters and does not stop brazen conduct......then only, after they have been requested many times to stop unacceptable behaviour, are they disfellowshipped. These are the ones who usually then defame JWs and hide the truth- that they were disfellowshipped because of a Christian conduct, be it repetitive lying, stealing, fornication etc...... a practice of some und of unacceptable behaviour. Many realize the need to change and come back into the fold - others become more brazen..... and defame JWs. I see you did not like this comment. ...... it says a lot about you. People like to blame "others" .... never themselves.... Adam blamed eve.... lol.
My daughter bought a small home in UK in a safe area. One bathroom, 3 bedrooms - and it costs over over half million pounds. So a 1 million pound house (especially in London must be the size of a dingy) and is definitely not the epitome of luxury - which impression you are trying to create. To sell a house that people have been using is good. They can use this money to assist brothers in the rest of the world. I guess they are selling because it is no longer needed..... but if they kept it you would also complain. One cannot ever please some people.....
I guess - according to you - we can throw out all the scriptures which indicate the anointed will have heavenly bodies such as 1 cor 15 and revelations - too many places to mention. Not even those which show they will be changed in an instant. And the scriptures in Hebrews which indicate that they will be priests in the heavenly temple of jehovah. Jehovah is perfect in logic, so why give a heavenly body when a physical body is more suited to the earth? The marriage of the lamb will take place where? Did Jesus give up his earthly body to receive a heavenly spiritual body? And did he really say to his disciples they will be with him where he is? Agh, there are just too many scriptures which indicate it is a heavenly kingdom and heavenly rulership....and a heavenly priesthood - a function you have forgotten about by just wanting to " rule"......... .which tells me you are up to your same old, same old behaviours. You boast you are of the body of christ...... so which "body" do you belong to which has perfect unity? . How many members? Where do you meet? And are you and your adherents fulfilling the prophesy that the good news of the kingdom will be preached throughout the earth?
And they sing a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kingsr over the earth."Rev 5:9,10 - NWT As a JW, this sounded accurate to me, since it fit the supporting doctrine that the "144,000" will rule strictly from heaven – "over" the earth...not within its vicinity, but from the spiritual realm. What I have since learned about this scripture and Christ's truth regarding where the anointed will be "ruling" from, has been an important turning point for me. Notice how the organization's own Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures breaks down vs. 10: "and you made them to the God of us kingdom and priests and they are reigning upon the earth" Here are a few other examples: "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Scripture4all.org "…they will reign upon the earth". https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/5-10.htm It is very rare to find a Bible translation using the phrase "over the earth" in this scripture. The organization's latest pictorial depiction of the 144,000 kings/priests ruling in heaven was of a vast array of emerald green thrones where men appearing identical to one another and to Christ, gazed over the earth as Christ's "co-rulers". I wonder what the anointed JW women feel about a female's apparent transition into a man, who are clones of each other. This teaching sounds ridiculous to me today. However, since the role of JW women is repeatedly slighted, should we expect any acknowledgement of the anointed being both male and female? I could be in error, but I haven't seen any photos of women partaking in the magazines. There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28 To be one in Christ does not mean the faithful sealed anointed take on the same physical appearance as Christ. All of the members of a fleshly body are distinctly different in appearance; working separately yet collectively, with the unified goal to allow the body to work efficiently. It is the same in the Body of Christ. 1 Cor 12:15-20 All are given various gifts, and all are individuals with individual personalities. They have abilities reflecting the gift they receive. Paul described it this way: There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 1 Cor 12:4-6 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 1 Cor 12:19,20 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized byone Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. 1 Cor 12:12-14 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Eph 4:11-16 The 144,000 are the Bride of Christ under the New Covenant "woman"/promise. (2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:29-32; Gal 4:26) It is curious that the WT's leaders rarely go into detail about this. When I recall their latest illustration described above, I don't believe the artist had the idea of "bride" in mind. I could only sense an aura of steely authority, without the needed compassion and love that Jesus exhibited and taught his disciples to nurture within themselves. (Isa 42:3; Matt 14:14; John 13:34,35; 1 John 4: 17; Heb 4:15) Just as a bride and groom are not identical to each other, neither is Christ's Bride of many members; either to Christ, or to one another, as the illustration erroneously shows. (1 Cor 12:29,30; Eph 4:11-13) Marriage partners compliment and support each other in love. It is the same with the Body of Christ, being united in one Spirit that imparts love, faith and knowledge of Christ and the Father. The organization's leaders are unable to perceive this spiritual unity, since they have rejected the Spirit of Christ, in exchange for the spirit of Satan. (John 15:4-7;1 Cor 6:15-17; 2 Cor 11:3; 2 Pet 1:10; Rev 2:4; 8:10;13:11) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Cor 2:12-14 In order to "rule on the earth", God's priests must be on the earth. If we can shed the false belief that once the 144,000 are sealed in "heaven" they will remain there, we are then able to grasp how such "heavenly" angel/messenger/priests will be found ruling, teaching, and helping God's future children on the earth. (Mal 2:7; 1 Pet 2:5,9; Heb 1:14; Rev 5:9,10) We can comprehend God's "new creation" as having two "births"; one by fleshly parents through Adam and Eve, (Gen 2:7) and one by spiritual parents. (John 3:3,5; 1 Cor 15:50; John 15:45; 20:22; Gal 4:26) Once Jesus was resurrected, he appeared many times to his disciples in the flesh; and just as easily, disappeared into the spirit realm. His example set the precedence of what it means to be a "new creation". (Mark 16:12; John 21:14; 1 Cor 15:3-8) By combining this event with Pearl Doxsey's help from her article, "Who are the gods?", we can visualize the 144,000 "angels" present not only in the spirit realm, but on earth as well: The sons of God ("gods") inherit the promises given to Abraham. What promises are these? "I will make you very fruitful (John 15:8) I will make nations of you (Rev 5:9,10), and kings will come from you (Rev 20:4; 1:5; 3:21; 19:16,15; 2:26,27)". "Jacob had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying (Ps 37:29; Heb 2:5,16; Gal 3:29; Heb 11:8-10; 13:14; Rev 21:2; Heb 12:22,23; Luke 10:20) (Gen.17:6). Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring (Rev 22:2). I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go (Matt 28:20), and I will bring you back to this land (Rev 21:7). I will not leave you (John 14:18) until I have done what I have promised you (John 16:22). Jacob was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place (Heb 12:22,23,28)! This is none other than the house of God (1 Cor 3:9,16; Isa 56:7; Eph 2:19,10); this is the gate of heaven (Rev 11:6; Matt 16:19; Rev 3:12; John 10:9; 2 Cor 5:20)." (Gen.28:12-15,17) "Jesus added, "Very truly I tell you, you will see 'heaven open (Luke 24:32; Rev 2:17; Matt 13:11; Rev 4:1; 1:1) (John 3:12; 1 Cor 2:12,13; Col 3:2), and the angels of God ascending and descending (Heb 12:22; Eph 2:6; Rev 3:21) "on* (Greek--*"in service to") the Son of Man." (John 1:51) The "angels" (Lit. Greek, "messengers" – Isa 43:10,21; 1 Pet 2:9; Mal 2:7; Acts 1:8) referred to here, could not have served before the time of Christ (John 3:13) Jesus specifically said that they are in service on "the Son of Man" (1 Cor 4:1). The "Son of Man" is Jesus in the flesh (John 1:14). Therefore, these angels serve Christ, after his coming down from heaven. To be a messenger of Christ ("ambassador") who harbors God's spirit of life within... who has been made new (Rom 12:2; 8:11) as a part of God's new creation (2 Cor 5:17) by means of incorruptible seed, the Word of God (1 Pet 1:23; Luke 8:11)... …who has been reborn as a Son of the Most High (John 3:3,5; Rom 8:16,17,19,28-30)... who has been made an immovable pillar in the eternal heavenly Temple of God (Rev 3:12; Prov 9:1; Jer 1:18)... ...is a "god" (Ps 82:6; Rom 8:14; 1 Cor 8:5). I do hope readers here find this information to be a personal turning point as it was for me, in learning that both Christ and the 144,000 kings and priests/ Bride of Christ, will have access to heaven as well as on earth, and living among God's future children in the Kingdom. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." Matt 5:14 Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Rev 21:1-3 "But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" Rev 21:22 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Rev 22:3-5 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Cor 3:16 Pearl Doxsey: (type in her name and the title of the article in the search bar. The link should appear) "End of the New Covenant" "Those not anointed – what benefit now?" "The Holy City" PLEASE SEE AND ENJOY, "The Holy City" - http://pearl-holycity.blogspot.com/ Pearl Doxsey, "End of the New Covenant" Those not anointed-what benefit now? - http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/04/i-received-two-questions-1.html And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." (Heb.1:6) "Jesus will again, be brought into the world. At that time, the totality of his angels/messengers, will worship him... and be in service to, the Son of Man." Pearl Doxsey
We do have very good reasons, the math for 1914 wouldn't work out otherwise Yes, I think we would laugh. After all, messing around with numbers to "fit something you want it to fit" sounds pretty cultish. When looking at this subject again, in light of Br. Splane's talk about types and antitypes, and how he said that (paraphrased) we have to make sure that when we are talking about types, that they are genuine types, because the word of God says they are puts a whole different slant on it. Then the idea is enforced even further when he says who is to decide if a person or event is a type, if the word of God doesn't say anything about it and he quotes Br. Shroeder: ( We need to exercise great care when applying accounts in the Hebrew Scriptures as prophetic patterns or types if these accounts are not applied in the Scriptures themselves). Therefor reading the account in Daniel 4 without any preconceived ideas, I see these main lessons: verse 17 "This is by the decree of watchers, and the request is by the word of the holy ones, so that people living may know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that he gives it to whomever he wants, and he sets up over it even the lowliest of men." Lesson: (quite self explanatory really) Jehovah can do what he wants because he is the ultimate sovereign. verse 27 "Therefore, O king, may my counsel be acceptable to you. Turn away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquity by showing mercy to the poor. It may be that your prosperity will be extended". Lesson: Listen to Jehovah and do right, otherwise Jehovah will discipline you. verse 37 "Now I, Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar, am praising and exalting and glorifying the King of the heavens, because all his works are truth and his ways are just, and because he is able to humiliate those who are walking in pride. Lesson: similar to above, and also proof that Jehovah carries out his discipline. ---------------- The reasoning put forward as to why this particular chapter of Daniel (4) has greater meaning (paraphrased from WT October 2014) is that the book of Daniel has a central theme, that of God's Kingdom, and keeps pointing forward to the establishment of that Kingdom under the rulership of his Son, Jesus. For example what it says in Daniel 2:44: ""In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever." I can see that Daniel Ch 2 is talking about Neb's. dream of the statue, representing subsequent rulerships, and that during the feet period God's Kingdom will come. In my opinion this is one valid and definite description of when the Kingdom will come. Then Chapters 7 and 8 are full of cryptic beasts, Chapter 9 prophesy about the coming of the Messiah including his cutting off, chapter 11 more cryptic descriptions, this time involving the king of the north and south, and the last chapter (12) the time of the end with Michael standing up. I need an encoder! I must admit, because of my more practical disposition, when we studied the Daniel book, I did not pay enough attention. My son was quite small and I had my hands full, and I can't even remember if we studied it again after that? For example what are these numbers about?: Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the constant feature has been removed and the disgusting thing that causes desolation has been put in place, there will be 1,290 days. 12 "Happy is the one who keeps in expectation and who arrives at the 1,335 days!" (It's ok, no need to answer, I can look it up myself). ,Sorry, I was being confusing. I didn't mean 607 was special. I meant what happened when counting 2520 years from that date, I meant that 1914 was a very significant year. (have to go, will carry on later)

PHÚ YÊN – The largest factory processing woodchips for export in the south-central Phú Yên Province became operational at Đông Bắc Sông Cầu Industrial Park yesterday.
The 36,000sq.m factory has been built by a local private enterprise at a total cost of VNĐ100 billion (US$4.5 million).
According to Trần Đăng Khoa, director of Bảo Châu Private Enterprise, the factory would produce 100,000 tonnes of woodchips annually, with a designed capacity of processing 36 tonnes per hour, during its first phase.
It would manufacture 100,000 tonnes of wood pellets in 2017 for export to the Republic of Korea (RoK), the United States and the European Union, he said.
The company has a 2,000ha raw material area to feed the factory. It has worked with the National Economics University, Bureau Veritas and the RoK-based Dongseo University and Kangwon National University to study new wood processing technologies. -- VNS

There's no sense in coming up with some florid misdirect, since the thing most people will wake up Monday morning caring about is "What the hell is going on in Minnesota?" They lost 5-1 last week, and on Sunday they lost 6-1 at home against fellow expansion side Atlanta United, who were ruthless and relentless and better prepared and better organized. It wasn't just about talent, but about being superior in literally every facet of the game.
No team in MLS history has gotten off to a worse start than the Loons. Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl pretty memorably reported last autumn that many around the league expected MNUFC to be one of the worst teams in MLS history, and then doubled-down on his reporting by setting their over/under for wins at five. With 32 games left even that looks generous, and while it's too soon for Adrian Heath, Manny Lagos et al to panic, it's certainly time for them to 1) make real changes to the starting XI, 2) real changes to their approach, and 3) ask real questions about what went wrong in their player evaluation and signings.
It starts on the backline, as through 180 minutes the Loons have been utterly helpless defensively. Heath, to his credit, owned this in the postgame press conference.
"We were poor at the back," he said. "We've got a lot of work to do there. Whether that means we change one or two things or one or two individuals, we have to look at that for next week."
The biggest adjustment is figuring out the right partner for Francisco Calvo, and in the process coming to terms with the fact that it's pretty clearly not going to be captain Vadim Demidov. As with all sunk cost equations it will be painful to make a change to what was supposed to be the bedrock of the team, but even with such a small sample size to examine it's pretty obviously necessary. Fanendo Adi ran through Demidov in Week 1 and all of Atlanta ran past him in Week 2 – whether it was shooting the gap between him and the right fullback on the second goal, or splitting him and Calvo on the third, there have been literally no good moments for the Norwegian international.
Veteran Jermaine Taylor has been the other main culprit, last week as a right back and this week cast in the more-familiar-but-still-nah role of left back. Taylor was unable to slow down either team out wide, which compounded the issues in central defense.
Through two games the Houston Dynamo defense has been everything Minnesota's hasn't. They're compact and in sync and generally have been very good at making the opposition beat them, rather than just gifting opportunities left and right. It hasn't been flawless – they can still be beaten for pace, and can still give the ball away in bad spots, etc. etc. etc.
But the Dynamo are pretty clearly built around the idea that defending deep and staying compact is what will give them the best chance of getting results, and after Saturday's 3-1 win over Columbus they're now at six points from two games. They managed it with just 39.6 percent of the ball, and were outshot by 14-to-7.
But let's make it clear: The players aren't succeeding, and in large part it's because they're not being put into position to succeed. Neither Taylor nor Demidov were mysteries
A few more things to ponder…
Minnesota will get all the headlines, but I'd argue the Galaxy have actually had a worse start to their season following Sunday's 1-0 home loss to Portland. Other teams are losing games, dropping points and suffering injuries. LA are doing all three, at home against Western Conference playoff rivals.
Intra-conference games are orders of magnitude more important inter-conference games, and the Galaxy have already dug themselves a decent hole in 2017.
The Red Bulls could not beat Tim Howard in Howard's return to action for Colorado this past weekend. Their relentless pressure, however, did force a second own goal in two weeks and they're now sitting on six points after a 1-0 win over the Rapids.
Philly seemingly went the entire second half of last season without getting goals from their center forwards. On Saturday, though, both Jay Simpson and C.J. Sapong found the back of the net in a 2-2 home draw against TFC.
I wrote a bit about the Chicago Fire following their 2-0 win over RSL on Saturday. Chicago have looked legitimately dangerous for long stretches.
RSL have not, and they're already in the midst of an injury crisis. Their top three central defenders all missed the game, and Joao Plata was scratched late in the week, and Jordan Allen was subbed off midway through the first half. Combine it with Yura Movsisyan's tough start, and you have the recipe for an unsettled fanbase.
RSL have no goals in two games, and the same can be said for Sporting KC. Still, there was some optimism after Saturday's scoreless home draw against FC Dallas – not a great result, nor a great performance, but Gerso Fernandes looked good creating chances
Also with no goals in two games: D.C. United, who were run off the pitch to the tune of 4-0 by NYCFC on Sunday morning. D.C.'s backline was routinely pulled apart by the City attack, and defensive midfielder Marcelo Sarvas is quite possibly starting to show some wear and tear.
And finally, it looks like the Quakes have sorted out at least some of their issues in terms of chance generation following Saturday's 3-2 win over Vancouver. Rookie Nick Lima has proven to be a relentless overlapping threat from right back (he got his first pro goal this weekend), Albanian winger/playmaker Jahmir Hyka was a force constantly driving the ball into the middle of the 'Caps defense, and Anibal Godoy scored another golazo.
Granted, most of this came against 10 men. But it was nonetheless the same type of stuff they showed in Week 1, and so far it looks both functional and replicable. It's too soon to celebrate, but it's not too soon to start feeling at least a little bit happy.

Washington Kastles Win 33rd Straight; Continue March into Sports History
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 8, 2013) They used new players, a new strategy and then closed with longtime heroes, the same First Lady Michelle Obama cheering in the stands and the same result: the Mylan World TeamTennis' champion Washington Kastles won their 33rd straight match today, earning the team a share of professional sports' much vaunted unbeaten record and continuing their march into sports history.
Led by newly acquired Martina Hingis and Kevin Anderson, the Kastles opened their season at Kastles Stadium on the Wharf with a 23-15 victory over archrivals the New York Sportimes. Hingis was the 2012 Mylan WTT Female MVP last year as a member of the Sportimes.
The 33-match Kastles unbeaten streak ties the mark set by the NBA 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. On Tuesday, the Kastles face the Boston Lobsters as they move to set an unprecedented 34 win undefeated streak sports mark; the Lobsters are the last team to defeat the Kastles on July 22, 2010, in the final match of the 2010 regular season.
"This is one of the most fantastic moments I can ever imagine," team owner Mark Ein said. "We have always promised Washington exciting tennis and Washington has joined with us in refusing to lose. I am thrilled for this fantastic group of tennis players, for those who have supported us and for our contribution to Washington's great sports history."
Kastles coach Murphy Jensen changed his lineup and his traditional order of matches for home contest, starting with Anderson in men's singles. Backed by three aces, Anderson defeated the Sportimes Jesse Witten 5-2.
Hingis, in her Kastles' debut, then defeated Anna-Lena Groenefeld 5-1.
"I was nervous and it was weird at the beginning playing my old team. I shook it off," Hingis said. "It was my first match. I was nervous. You get out there and then get going."
Mixed doubles was next and, for the first time in his coaching the Kastles, Jensen took advantage of WTT rules permitting substitution. He started Anderson – and his big serve – with Hingis, against Robert Kendrick and Kveta Peschke. He then substituted Kastles's captain and double star Leander Paes after Anderson played the first game – the same strategy Sacramento used against the Kastles in last year's 2012 championship match. Anderson played for Sacramento last season.
Washington won mixed doubles in a tiebreaker, 5-4.
Hingis and Anastasia Rodionova then lost to Groenefeld and Peschke 5-3 to put the Kastles at 18-12 going into men's doubles to close the match. "They are the best doubles team in the world," Hingis said. "We tried to have a big lead coming into that one."
Paes and Kastles' closer Bobby Reynolds spotted Kendrick and Witten a lead in the final set, then gutted out a 5-3 win to seal the 23-15 victory.
"If a team is going to beat us, they are going to have to work very hard," Paes said. "We are putting in the hours of practice. when you look at our bench, it is a bench of champions. Everyone is doing what we do best."
As for being asked to seal the win, Paes said: "Very happy to close. We are all hungry to take the ball."
Reynolds, the 2012 Mylan WTT Male MVP, said "Ever since last season finished I've been looking forward to getting back and finishing this. Every night is a new match and that's how you have to approach it."
The Kastles are a strong favorite to win their third consecutive Mylan WTT title and their fourth King Trophy in five years. Only two other WTT teams have won three or more championships: the Sacramento Capitals, with six, and the Los Angeles Strings, with three. The Kastles are the only WTT team to post a perfect season and the only major sports team in history to have consecutive perfect seasons.
New York has been one of the Kastles' toughest foes over the last two seasons and Monday's match was typical of the bruising court battles that have thrilled fans repeatedly.
"I reminded them of what we do as a team – that is how we win," Jensen said. "Each point, each game, each set we have a team focus. That remains our way of playing."
After Tuesday's match with Boston, the Kastles will again be at home on July 11, and July 17, against the Springfield Lasers, featuring former world No. 1 and U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick; July 20 against the Sportimes; July 22 against the Philadelphia Freedom, and July 24 against the Lobsters. WTT conference championships are July 25 with the WTT championship set for July 28 on the home court of the Eastern Conference winner.
Said Hingis: "It was my first match. I was nervous. You get out there and then get going." And about Boston? "I'm warmed up now," she said with a smile.

How to help kids fundraise with our Good Soap
Many of us have helped out with local fundraisers, whether for our children's school camp, new equipment for a sports team, or a young person we know starting an exciting new venture.
Fundraising brings communities together and taking part gives you an opportunity to show children how they can have fun by helping others while learning to be part of a team.
Sweet things are often the product of choice, but we've got a healthier alternative that's just as 'sweet'. Our Good Soap for a Good Cause comes in two yummy scents, lemongrass, and grapefruit & mint. They're delivered in easy to carry cartons, and a dollar from each sale goes to your fundraising cause.
The Grapefruit & Mint has a nice frame design on the soap box, ready for personalising with a message or drawing, making these a great gift.
It's good to have something cool to sell when kids are fundraising, but it also helps to read up on how to make your fundraising efforts successful.
Here are our top ten tips. Please leave a comment below if you have any ideas to add!
1. Clearly define the good cause you'd like to fundraise for.
2. Plan your time frame and set a date. Two weeks is our suggested amount of time.
3. Organise a team and get parents involved by sharing your good cause and fundraising goal. You can check out our letter templates to help you out with approaching potential team members.
4. Make sure everyone involved knows all of the background information and details prior to the project starting so that they can confidently talk about the fundraiser to supporters.
5. Determine how much money you need to raise and how many fundraising carry cases are required to reach your goal. To help work this out you can use our profit calculator below:
6. Choose a project leader. This person will be responsible for keeping track of the carry cases allocated to each participant and recording the money returned. You can download our handy tally sheet to help you keep track.
7. Ensure each of your team are allocated the stock they need. You can also give them a seller's flyer as a reminder on information about the product and how to introduce themselves to potential customers.
8. Use an incentive for selling product to motivate your team. You could have a prize gifted to the person who sells the most soap. It's also important to recognise the input of everyone in your team- you can use our certificate template to put together an award for each member.
9. Safety is important when it comes to projects with kids. Make sure an adult is available to supervise children who are out in the community seeking fundraising support.
10. Most importantly, have fun! Fundraising is a great opportunity to get to know new members of your community, so do what you can to organize elements of the project as a team, making the experience more enjoyable.
To get started, you can place your Good Soap orders here.
Happy fundraising!

What's a Grand Ol' Party to do when they wish to disenfranchise Democratic voters via the specious specter of "voter fraud" when they can't actually find any evidence to make their case? Why, call their media wing at Fox "News" of course!
Fox picks up today where the DoJ and Republican Party have had no luck so far, but not for lack of trying. Hey, if you can't beat 'em, publicize 'em, and make it sound like you're beating 'em, at least.
David Edwards and Muriel Kane report at RAW STORY today that Fox is running a "special investigation" into non-citizens throwing elections:
Since 2005, the Bush administration has been pushing the idea that "voter fraud" is a widespread problem, even firing US Attorneys who did not make the investigation of claims of fraud a priority. However, investigations have never found more than a handful of votes being cast illegally, while requiring proof of citizenship seems likely to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters, mostly the poor and elderly who may not be able to secure required documentation.
Fox News has now set out to find the evidence of fraud that the Bush Department of Justice could not, whipping up their audience with the threat of non-citizens "getting a fake ID, a driver's license, or a social security card and voting in this year's election."
"If you think there's voter fraud where you live, or there are other election problems, we at Fox News want to know about it," Shawn told viewers. "You can email us. ... email@example.com."
RAW has the amusing video from this morning as well.
Well, you heard 'em, kids. Fox is looking for voter fraud! Feel free to email them this link: https://bradblog.com/CoulterFraud documenting the no-uncertain-terms case of Ann Coulter having committed voter fraud in Palm Beach County, Florida!
Fox would love to hear from you at: email@example.com. Feel free to let 'em know I sent you, in case they have any further questions. I'll be happy to speak to them, and help 'em root out those voter fraud criminals!
BTW, Fox & Friends, at least, already knows about Coulter's voter fraud, since they called me last year to ask me to appear on their morning show to talk about it after Liz Smith ran an item on the matter in Murdoch's NY Post pointing to BRAD BLOG's coverage...

I like the color of that blue-ringed dancer. It's a beauty!
We recently walked the trails at Prairie Oaks Metro Park with the intention of getting a few pictures of whatever insects happened by or more importantly landed on a leaf or flower long enough to photograph.
Pausing to listen by a lake, meadow, or woods will quickly bring you to the realization that it's that insect time of the year. Actual it's been so for several weeks but now trees have hints of color other than green and when venturing out in the morning one is greeted by cooler temperatures. The sun is lower now as it continues it's yearly journey south so the light is also different, piercing rather than embracing. At water's edge dragonflies ceaselessly patrol in the warm late morning sun while Monarch and Viceroy butterflies go about their business in the nearby meadows. Walking through the same meadows in pursuit of a butterfly one is greeting by hundreds of grasshoppers all seeking a different escape route. Further in the woods more woodpeckers and bluejays are heard and one can't help but notice a branch rebounding as a Fox squirrel moves from tree to tree. It couldn't be getting ready for winter already could it? In early September, with the absence of any sudden cloudbursts, the rivers in central Ohio are low, exposing previously hidden gravel bars, and are a pleasant shade of green.
Love your blog! Love the pictures! By the way that bee on the flower isn't a bee. It's a hover fly.

Just what a Hawks fan needs when he's already stressed out about the playoff chase and the injury list: a three-hour medieval rack torture that is a game against the Red Wings.
I've said before that I try and remain as rational I can as a fan -- and even then I'm not even close to a functioning human being -- but games against Detroit are simply the worst.
My blood-lust boils over, I'm generally physically ill for most of the game and my distaste for all things Winged Wheel boils well past the "unreasonable category" mark. God, I want this to be over already.
But the Wings come into tonight banged up as well.
Pavel Datsyuk will miss another game, and starting goaltender Jimmy Howard isn't playing after hurting himself Saturday against Toronto. Johan Franzen will return to the lineup, but that's not the danger it once was, as he's drawn a lot of Wings fans' ire for some indifferent play this season. Franzen should be an unholy weapon of size and skill, scoring 40 every year, but health and passion have been issues for him.
Henrik Zetterberg is still here, though, and probably will be deployed to counteract Jonathan Toews. Fights between the two of them for the puck could descend into a knife fight, such is both of their compete levels. Beyond that, without Datsyuk, you could argue the Wings are top heavy like the Hawks.
Valtteri Filppula is a wonderful player on the second line, but he's not Datsyuk. Mike Modano was finished two years ago. Darren Helm and Justin Abdelkader, while useful, haven't become the legends that redefine the sport like every media outlet was ready to declare them.
Prisoner #5834, or as he's otherwise known, Todd Bertuzzi, has had an impressive season until the games started to get tight. He's got three points in his last 11 games, and he hasn't done anything against the Hawks this year. He just can't keep up. He's still a liability in his own zone, and he's still very likely to take a selfish and dumb penalty when he gets frustrated.
I get killed all the time for this, but I don't buy this defense either. Obviously, there's Mt. Olympus resident Nicklas Lidstrom still back there, and one can't criticize him in the least. He can dominate half the game on occasion. But beyond that? Brian Rafalski has started to show his age, and Niklas Kronwall is overrated by a factor of 12 and often gets himself out of position running for the big hit that gets him on highlight shows and make the media covering him weak at the knees. Ruslan Salei and Jonathan Ericsson are simply bad. And without Howard and having to start Joey MacDonald, they won't get bailed out, or at least you hope.
And there's also the matter that the last two times these teams tangled, the Hawks ran them over, once without Kane and Hossa. The Wings play a style that fits into the Hawks' hands. Even with Franzen and Holmstrom, they don't punish the smallish Hawks D. They don't want to bog things down and leave the Hawks forwards with lots of space. The Wings get theirs too, and can kill you with it, but so far haven't. Hopefully that's the way it plays tonight, but the smart money says the Wings are pretty fed up with a combined score of 8-2 the last two match-ups, and we'll get their best tonight.
I'll be hiding behind the couch.

I can predict that virtual classes will be more popular in future and technology will make it successful. There are already a couple of online platforms which offer Bangla courses where a student can have a face-to-face classes with teachers.
Buddy School offers Bangla courses. There are 10 Bengali teachers who teach online.
Verbalplanet also offers Bangla courses. There are 4 teachers now. I joined Verbalplanet last year. But I did not continue there. That
nativemonks has 3 Bangla teachers.
Italki has two professional Bengali teachers and two community teachers. I have been teaching in Italki since August, 2016. The platform suits me. I have been getting a lot of students.
There are other language teaching platforms but they don't show teachers' profiles. I do not appreciate that.

Beginning Portuguese Knitting with Teri Zipf
Read Teri Zipf's bio here!
The style of knitting that's come to be known in the United States as Portuguese is in fact practiced in some areas of South America, Turkey, Greece, and other countries the world over. It's easy to learn, fast, and even tension is easily maintained. It is often more comfortable than other styles of knitting because there are fewer and smaller arm, hand, and finger movements.
People with arthritis, tendonitis, or other mobility issues may find they are able to knit longer and with less discomfort. In this class you will learn to knit, purl, increase, and decrease. You'll also be provided with resources that will help you learn more and gain more confidence when you are home. We'll be knitting a simple pattern for a baby headband to practice your skills.
Skill Level: Beginner - able to Cast On, Knit, and Purl by any method
Materials to Bring:
- Bring a small amount of baby yarn and circular needles of a size that works for you to get about 7 stitches per inch (usually US 1, 2, or 3). Gauge isn't crucial.
Material Fee: None
Class Size: 15
Spaces Available: 9
This class will be held: Friday, April 19th , 2013 Afternoon - 1pm - 4pm
Please read instructions carefully on the Workshop Page before signing up!

- Have bloggity-blog fun!
Friday, August 5, 2011
About a week-and-a-half ago I had one of those dream-like moments. I was in the midst of my morning run-through of blogs and Absolute Write threads when something lit up in my mind: a topic for my next Friday blog post. To that I said,
Have a nice weekend, all.
I continued on my blog tour and went about my day. Later, I tried to think of that excellent post for the upcoming Friday…and it was gone! I hadn't written it down anywhere, and it was either not etched with a firm enough hand on my brain, or it was dispatched to some deep corner where it could not be found. I faked my way through that post and, a week later, here I am again.
The good news for this week is I had a post on the way. The idea came to me early in the week, and this time, I remembered it. I worked on it Wednesday night and Thursday morning, but it wasn't quite ready to go this morning. I figured I'd bust my butt this morning to clean it up and get it ready, and hope it was polished enough to share with the ten of you.
But now, I don't have to, because Carrie has come to the rescue. I've been Liebstered!
As I've said before, I'm not one who's necessarily comfortable playing tagging type of games in blog-land, but in this case, I'll make an exception, like I did the last time. The goal of the Liebster is to showcase up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. The rules:
OK, I'm going to say this now: this is the last time you will see the words 'have bloggity-blog fun' on this blog. So, first, thank you, Carrie. You were one of my first followers, and I think this is the second time you've saved me with a timely tag!
Now, the tough part, choosing five bloggers. The truth is, I don't follow a huge amount of blogs, but here we go (in no particular order):
Libbie Hawker. Libbie's blog is over a year old, but she took some time off, so I'll bend the rules of 'up and comer.' Libbie writes with intelligence, fire, and humor; she doesn't shy away from controversy, and she loves Turkey vultures. Liebstered!
Jennifer, at The Writing Cocoon. Another one of my first followers. I really enjoy reading how other writers write; Jennifer covers this in a very personal style. I feel we're at very similar stages in our works and development. Jennifer, you have been Liebstered!
Robin Kristoff and Luke. Two different bloggers who are both quite new to the scene. I like what they both have to say, and how they say it. For some strange reason, I'm not following them yet, but that's about to change. Liebstered and followed!
And number 5? There is no number 5. Five is right out!
Thank you, Carrie, for Liebsterizing me. And I hope that the folks I've passed this on to won't hate me for doing so.

Inside the Ring of Steel
In security lingo, a "ring of steel" is an urban area that contains roadblocks and an unbroken chain of cameras to record every movement. For over ten years, London has used a ring of steel to safeguard its business district. Now, the New York City Police Department is implementing a similar system in the city's financial district.
"New York is the number one target in the United States, and the financial district is the number one target in New York," says Paul J. Browne, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of public information.
Scheduled for completion in 2009, the $90 million Lower Manhattan Security Initiative calls for a network of security gates, 3,000 closed-circuit surveillance cameras (some transmitting in HD), and 116 wireless-enabled license-plate readers (LPRs) to secure the 1.7-square-mile area that includes the New York Stock Exchange and the site of the former World Trade Center. The coordination center will be staffed around the clock by a dozen officers and occasional private security. A program will alert personnel of suspicious activity, and Browne says that video images will be discarded if there is no activity tied to them.
To support the system, the city is rolling out the private, cellular New York City Wireless Information Network and is expanding the fiber-optic CityNet system.
There are some, however, who have raised ethical issues. "Our primary concern is that this is a system designed to capture the movement and actions of hundreds of thousands of law-abiding people," says Christopher Dunn, associate legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
Brian Jenkins, a RAND Corp. senior adviser on terrorism and homeland security, says that despite privacy concerns, such surveillance measures are inevitable signs of our increasingly automated, post-9/11 era. "[Surveillance cameras] are, in a sense, technological substitutions for cops on the beat," Jenkins says.
