Witchy QuickiesSome people either consciously or unconsciously try to have sex with witches (female or male) in order to suck their energy or steal their blessing. Some have done very bad things or brought a lot of ill will on themselves because of their evil behavior, lying, thieving, and dishonor. They think that if they sleep with a witch, or get us to love them, it will give them some protection. They don't know this will turn the other way if they ever cross us.

Each weekend we make a point of going somewhere for the day. A couple of years ago we resolved to come up with a list of fun things to do, to make the most of our free time together.
One such trip was to London a few weeks ago. I was keen to see an exhibition at the Foundling Hospital near the British Museum. The exhibition was called 'Threads of Feeling'. During the Eighteenth Century mothers were given the opportunity to take their children to the Foundling Hospital on Coram Fields. If the children were illegitimate, or the mothers simply could not provide for their child, they knew that by leaving them at the Hospital their son or daughter would be well fed and cared for. The idea was that they gave official guardianship of their offspring to the Hospital and if their circumstances improved they could come back for the child. In reality only 1% of mothers returned. In order to identify their son or daughter the women left tokens. Many of these were scraps of clothing, ribbons, small charms or buttons. The result is that the Museum has one of the finest collections of Eighteenth Century fabrics in Europe.
The exhibition was very moving. The ledgers were on display with a description of each child and the scrap of cloth or ribbon. As we walked around the Museum there were facts about everyday life in the Eighteenth Century displayed on the walls. One really shocking fact was that in Eighteenth Century London 75% of children would die before the age of 5. That really stopped me in my tracks. It is really easy for us to look at these things with our 21st Century view of life with its childhood vaccinations, good quality health care and long life expectancy. My heart went out to these poor women who had to make the decision to hand over their children with the knowledge that they would almost certainly never see them again.
I have recently become interested in creating memory jewellery. A way of incorporating fragments of everyday life into my work. This exhibition certainly gave me food for thought.
The exhibition has finished now but here you can find out the background to it. If you every have the chance to visit the Foundlings' Hospital I would urge you to do it. I am told that they graze sheep in Coram Fields, in front of the Hospital, and that in the Spring and Summer the air is filled with the sound of sheep calling to each other. Quite a strange experience in the heart of London!
Another fun exhibition was a bit closer to home in the Salisbury Arts Centre. We went to see a touring exhibition called the 'Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef'. The project was created by Margaret Wertheim, the Director of 'The Institute Of Figuring' in Los Angeles. It is quite simply, as the name suggests, a coral reef made entirely out of crochet. It is touring the world and everywhere that is appears local people are encouraged to add to it. The reef even has its own web page and blog. It was absolutely fascinating, particularly as close inspection showed that parts of it were made from crocheted wire, plastic bags and even lengths of audio and video tape. One of my favourite parts was the large octopus. I think it is nice to think that like a real coral reef it is constantly growing and changing.
I would certainly like to use some of the ideas, shapes and textures in my beadwork. A very inspiring experience.
I am still working on my 'Jewel Bead Necklace' due to the continuing problems with my right hand (which have now been officially diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome). Hopefully I will be able to show it in my next post along with an account of another recent visit to London.

POLICE have urged the elderly and vulnerable in Droitwich to be wary of who they allow in their homes after a conman tricked a pensioner to hand over cash.
A man selling tea towels convinced his way into the home of the woman in Churchill Avenue.
When she declined to buy any tea towels, he managed to persuade her to part with money, claiming he was a student and he needed it to get back home to Nottingham.
A West Mercia Constabulary spokesman said: "If you are not expecting a caller, or if you do not know a caller, don't let them in without properly checking their identity.
"Those from legitimate companies will often carry company identification, probably with a photograph.
"It may also be helpful to phone a neighbour or nearby relative to come and help you be assured and, if still in doubt, phone the police."

Merry meet all,
Ostara is almost here!! Ostara, or the spring equinox, is the second Sabbat of spring.This post follows up from the last one. There is nothing wrong with being so clairvoyant or psychic. If you find that you are, celebrate it!
I want to talk about what to expect if you do enter a local metaphysical shop seeking advice. The staff in those shops are generally friendly and knowledgeable. They can answer any questions you may have. They can help you find good books, divination tools, or inform you of upcoming classes or workshops. There are so many awesome books out there about being psychic. Go through several of them and decide what you like.
It is easier to seek help and advice when you are just starting out. Do consider it. You could learn on your own if you want. But it is so much easier on you to try a workshop Psychic 101 then figure the stuff on your own. Perhaps I am a bit biased since I am studying at a witch school. The last year for me studying there has been amazing. I feel better, more directed, and know more than I ever would if I studied alone. I loved every minute of it. I was able to ask questions, obtain correct information on how to use a pendulum, for example, and be with like-minded people. I also was amazed at my progress. I would never have known if I was making progress if I was on my own. That is why seeking help is so valuable.
Now… here is the big one! If you do want a teacher, then go back to the metaphysical shop and chat with them. Finding a reputable person is important here. I say 'reputable'. There are some shady people out there who may seek to manipulate and take advantage of you for their own selfish reasons. I found good honest people who were too willing to help me. So don't let bad stuff happen to you.
Usually the classes and workshops offered at witch shops are relatively inexpensive. They range from tarot card lessons to astral travel. Again, go with what you feel comfortable with. But try to keep an open mind. You can learn a lot there. The workshop leaders are friendly- and you may make some new friends. Keeping a journal and regularly writing down your experiences in it can help you track your progress.
You don't necessarily need to be a Witch to be psychic. You can be you. You can be whatever you want to be. Just because you are sensing spirits and already know who is calling you before you check your Ipad doesn't mean you have to have a cat and a pentacle. There are many people who are simply clairvoyant and are not Witches. But being psychic could be a part of being a Witch if you want it to be. Just go with how you feel and what works for you and discard the rest. It may not always jive with your religious or spiritual path and that is OK. It doesn't have to.
I hope this information helped you all. Many Ostara blessings to you all
Blessings Spiderwitch

In Phoenix, weekend users make light rail a success
[Source: Jennifer Steinhauer, New York Times] — Among the many detractors — and they were multitudinous — who thought a light rail line in this sprawling city would be a riderless $1 billion failure was Starlee Rhoades, the spokeswoman for the Goldwater Institute, a vocal critic of the rail's expense. "I've taken it," Ms. Rhoades said, slightly sheepishly. "It's useful."
She and her colleagues still think the rail is oversubsidized, but in terms of predictions of failure, she said, "We don't dwell."
The light rail here, which opened in December, has been a greater success than its proponents thought it would be, but not quite the way they envisioned. Unlike the rest of the country's public transportation systems, which are used principally by commuters, the 20 miles of light rail here stretching from central Phoenix to Mesa and Tempe is used largely by people going to restaurants, bars, ball games and cultural events downtown. The rail was projected to attract 26,000 riders per day, but the number is closer to 33,000, boosted in large part by weekend riders. Only 27 percent use the train for work, according to its operator, compared with 60 percent of other public transit users on average nationwide.
In some part thanks to the new system, downtown Phoenix appears to be one of the few bright spots in an otherwise economically pummeled city, which like the rest of Arizona has suffered under the crushing slide of the state's economy. The state, for years almost totally dependent on growth, has one of the deepest budget deficits in the country.

2 years and 1 day ago I married this really great guy. We married on a Friday afternoon on the Outer Banks of North Carolina under a beautiful lighthouse, about 10 hours after Prince William and Kate said "I do" in London. We were blessed with amazing weather and 45 of our family and closest friends surrounding us. At our casual, beach house reception we had our photographer take funny photos, ate key-lime cupcakes, and we danced the night away. For us, it was perfect.

Have a sentimental week.
This weekend has been a very sentimental one for me, and I get the vague sense that I have yet to see the end of it.
My weekend began on Friday afternoon with A and I hunched over her laptop in a coffee house playing with blog site appearances and layouts. Then we did it, we pulled the trigger … if you didn't notice in the address bar above we are officially {undertheoaksblog.com}. We celebrated with a simple high-five that turned a particular someone emotional. In my typical response to such things, I laughed it off … but in all seriousness it was an exciting moment that genuinely warmed my heart. A and I are slowly, but surely, learning the art of blogging and it has been fun to have a good friend to learn it with and to share special moments like tears and laughter in a coffee shop. <== Sentimental Moment numero uno Continue reading
1970s Mayline Drafting Table
Happy Thursday! I'm really excited to share this amazing new addition to my office! Here was my dilemma the past year or so: We finished the office and I was able to make the room my own. At first, I wanted the room to be everything: crafting room, library, sewing room, office, and walk-in closet.
From this picture you can see the library, crafting table in the left corner, wedding to-d0 list on the dry-erase board, sewing box, craft supplies, and part of the desk. Way too much going on. I had no room which left it abandoned most days because I wasn't able to find any inspiration when I walked in the door. It made me feel lost because it needed so much more organization and I didn't know where to begin. I have been working to streamline the office to be a place of only a few hobbies but it wasn't until I picked up the drafting table that I felt I was getting closer to that goal.
When I first saw the post on Facebook for a free "drafting table" I was just expecting a large table top for both JZ and I to have space to work. The desk we had before would barely fit my laptop, a notebook, supplies, and some magazines. I replied and was able to pick the beast up a few days later! With a little love and some work, the beast is now gorgeous! I especially love the little surprise of it lighting up. Just that fact inspires me. I have so many ideas of how I'm going to use it for painting and drawing. I can't wait to get started!

He touched the lives of thousands, and it was in his honor that hundreds gathered to say farewell to "a scholar with an African mission." The funeral of Dr. Edward W. Robinson, Jr. was held Friday morning at the church in which he was born and raised, the A.M.E. Union Church, in the heart of North Philadelphia.
Just outside the church, a dozen drummers of all ages played in the midst of an oppressive heat wave. All morning, city dignitaries streamed through the church to pay respects to the educator and his family.
While his body laid in repose, images of Robinson in various stages of his life played in the background, as ushers carried baskets of fans and circulated through the aisles with bottles of cold water. The several hundred gathered fanned themselves endlessly as they comforted their hearts in the words offered by friends, colleagues and family members during the two-and-a-half hour service.
Robinson's casket, draped in a United States flag, was flanked by floral displays in the colors of the Pan-African flag — red, black and green — with one especially stunning arrangement forming the shape of the continent of Africa.
Proclamations were read from Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter, City Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, State Senator Leanna Washington, and Congressman Chaka Fattah, along with resolutions from the Institute for the Preservation of Youth, the Paul Robeson House, the African American Museum of Philadelphia, Chaney University Alumni Association and the Philadelphia branch of the NAACP. Also noted in the audience were music producer and educator Kenny Gamble, producer Bob Lott, activist Pam Africa, Judge Thomasina Tynes, Rep. Dwight Evans and Philadelphia Sheriff Jewell Williams.
Remarks were offered from every branch of Robinson's life - from political to civic to personal. Speakers included Christine Thomas Wiggins, Founder of IMHOTEP Charter School; Ali and Helen Salahuddin, founders of the D'ZERT Club; Activist Michael Coard, Esq.; African-American scholar Dr. Molefi Kete Asante; Cody Anderson, former WDAS General manager and Dr. Mildred Johnson of Virginia State University, and Rev. Dr. W. Wilson Goode, former mayor of Philadelphia. "Dr. Robinson served his generation in an outstanding manner," noted Goode. "The question is, who is going to serve this generation?"
"A great soul has passed this way," said Asante. "A great man has lived among us."
The amazing life that Robinson had lived and shared with those closest to him was obvious in the various titles accorded him: father, grandfather, great-grand-father, great-great grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, and most importantly, husband.
Robinson's widow Harriet eschewed the podium, instead choosing to stand next to the casket as she recited a poem while holding the arm of her beloved husband of 41 years. "I wanted you for life, you and me in the wind. I never thought there would come a time that our story would end. ... Maybe all I need to know and if I listen to my heart, I'll hear your laughter once more. And so I've got to say I'm just glad you came my way. It's not easy to say goodbye."

Nailsea Ladies held to a draw
PUBLISHED: 08:19 28 November 2018 | UPDATED: 08:19 28 November 2018
Nailsea Ladies were held to a draw in this derby encounter with Winscombe.
Winscombe Ladies 2
Nailsea Ladies 2
Nailsea Ladies started slowly and were a little panicky, knowing this was going to be a tough game.
The defence however, settled in quickly and were outstanding throughout. Zoe Pople and Hannah Clarke combined well in the middle supported efficiently by Chloe Smith and Kim Thomas at right and left back.
The short corners were dealt with cleanly and keeper Laura Pople played magnificently all game, taking player of the match for her performance.
Nailsea took the lead when captain Gee Corner dribbled through the defence and put a reverse sweep pass onto the stick of Jo Harris. Another reverse stick shot and the ball slammed into the right corner.
Winscombe came back, capitalising on a snick off Smith's stick when defending a short corner to make it square at the break.
Despite going down 2-1, Nailsea settled into a better rhythm in this half, implementing their game of possession and protection. They battled hard and kept the pressure at a high, keeping their passing slicker and controlled.
Another attack from the captain following a free hit outside the D, saw her fire into the left corner from the top to level the score with 12 minutes to go.
The tension was evident in both teams and both battled for the three points but had to be content to share.
The second team were well beaten by Knowle, losing 4-1.

"So ye safe to say I am feeling a little bit mixed up. I know in reality I need to give myself a break, considering that I don't know many 24 year olds that truly know what they want in life. They just seem to be better at faking it than me. I seem to be questioning who I want in my life and where I want to be. I feel I need to make decisions now because otherwise I'll never get anywhere. Except making decisions for life seems a bit extreme. The idea of making that decision to permanently fly the nest seems a bit scary just like the idea of settling down with someone for the rest of your life is terrifying"
Above is an extract from of a blog post I originally started only a couple of weeks ago but never got round to finishing because I couldn't put my feelings into words in the way that I wanted to. Now I am glad I didn't get round to finishing it.
In my original plan I went on to talk about how confused I felt and how disappointed about some of the way things have turned out in my life recently. My relationship with my ex has pretty much evaporated and we seem to be a typical ex couple these days (not what I wanted or in any way expected). This led me to worry about my future, going it alone and losing someone I genuinely considered my best friend, while also making me question my life decisions I had made to get me here.
Fast forward to only 2 weeks later and my outlook seems to have changed drastically. Why? Simply because I didn't have a choice. Don't get me wrong I still have moments of feeling slightly lost and worried about where I am going but suddenly I feel more settled.
Turning 25 was something I was dreading for the longest time and actually my birthday weekend was great and forced me to properly reevaluate everything. Now I never would believe me ex ever held me back as a person, however I do think subconsciously I didn't try as much on my own because you get used to being a "we" rather than an "I". So I didn't challenge myself as much as I maybe should have (I am not blaming him for this in anyway, it is merely something I've thought about differently recently).
Feeling lost is totally normal and the rise of the term quarter life crisis proves this is very common. I still have moments of wondering if I miss being part of a couple even though I also want independence to learn more about myself before considering becoming a "we" again. I worry about making the decision about permanently flying the nest, yet I also feel great that I have made steps to make it a reality at some point in the sort of nearish future. I worry about if I want marriage and kids and wonder what if I make the choice not to and then regret it when I am older.
To be honest I felt lost only 2 days ago after getting news through that a close friend of mine got engaged while on holiday. This surprisginly brought up some mixed emotions for me. I was delighted for her because I knew she wanted that and was so happy for her that she was getting what I always feel she deserved, however watching people you've known for years go through these changes (especially after my relationship ended) is hard. It made me question if I wanted a boyfriend or if a guy would ever be crazy enough to marry me. Really am I going to be a crazy spinster when I'm older? Truthfully I hope not but I'd rather be alone than settle.
The fact that I am able to say that shows how much I have grown in such a short space of time but it also shows that events can trigger certain emotions in us and often that can lead to us feeling lost or as if we are getting left behind while everyone else is heading towards their own happily ever after.
We're all lost at times but speak to those close to you about it. My brother has what I always imagined the perfect life – wife, daughter, house and good job and yet he openly speaks about how he thinks maybe they done everything too young compared to their friends that maybe don't have kids yet for example. I spoke to my friends and all of them are in different situations but 2 of them said they feel the most settled in life now they are 27 and have their own places, but they didn't have that feeling at 25.
My point? Everyone is different and on their own path. What works for one won't work for the other and you might feel lost but there will be others looking at you as if you have everything sorted.
Right now I am starting to feel more myself and ready to take on the world. I am disappointed about my relationship with my ex at this point but maybe this is what we both needed. I feel I appreciate my friends more and they have equally been given an opportunity to be there for me. My sister-in-law messaged me on my birthday after we met for lunch and said I looked so much happier and relaxed. I didn't realise I was but maybe I am and that's great news!
If you're out there scared and worried know that you are not alone and sometimes the hardest moments do actually make us stronger and more comfortable in our own skin.
Thanks guys

The BlueBelles were delighted to be asked to sing at the switching on of the Marlborough Christmas Lights this year. This annual event is organised by Marlborough Town Council and brings together a number of local groups on the stage outside the Town Hall. Arriving just before 6pm we met up in the Town Hall
The BlueBelles are always delighted to be asked to sing at events in the local community. People often ask where we are from. There is no simple answer to this. We rehearse in Easton Royal in Wiltshire but none of the BlueBelles actually live there! Most of us hail from Pewsey, Burbage
Pewsey Heritage Centre is one of our favourite places to sing. Not just because of the lovely acoustic, but also because of the warm welcome we always receive here. This May, we returned for our third concert in this lovely venue and we were delighted to be performing to a packed house. Of course
Spring Sing returns on Saturday 27th April 2019, from 10:30am. Enjoy a selection of local choirs performing in venues across Calne town centre, ending with the choirs and audience joining for a 'Big Sing' finale. Free entry to all performances. The full programme will be announced shortly. The event culminates with choirs and audience joining
Our first Christmas gig this year involved singing in the Town Hall in Calne. Earlier in the year we had performed for the Calne Spring Sing and we had such a great time, and apparently were so popular with the punters that we were invited back to take part in the Calne Christmas Festival. The
The BlueBelles are delighted to have secured a slot to perform at this years Sunday Afternoon Concert Series at Iford Manor. We will be performing on Sunday 13 May 2018 at 14.30 On Sundays from May to September the very best of local amateur performers entertain garden visitors. Concerts between 2:30 and 3:30 take place
We are delighted to announce that we will be performing on stage again at this year's Calne Spring Sing. This is the fifth year the Calne Spring Sing has been organised by the town council and it looks like being a great event with lots of choirs joining together to perform at venues all over
At the weekend, we all travelled to North Devon to share the stage with Barnstaple Male Voice Choir. This event had been about a year in the planning and came about after Jules recorded a CD with Barnstaple MVC last year.
October will be a busy month for us. First we are off on our travels to Barnstaple where we will be singing with the fantastic Barnstaple Male Voice Choir. This invitation came about a year or so ago when our Musical Director, Jules, recorded the Barnstaple men and produced a CD for them.
This weekend we were thrilled to be part of Hannah and Steve's wedding at Abbey Farm near Cirencester. We love weddings but when it's such a lovely couple getting married it's even more special.

Are you working with the right type of clients or customers, doing work that inspires you and rewards you on every level?
Well, you should be. And you could be!
The challenge here, is that many business owners and consultants are not choosy enough. They focus on what they fear [going broke] rather than focus on what they want. So, instead of only working for great clients, they decide to work with pretty much anyone who will pay them.
In doing so, they create a cyclical challenge, which many never recover from.
The cycle looks like this
They find themselves doing work for people, who don't give them the freedom to do amazing work. After a while, the great clients won't hire them, because they want to hire the ones who ARE doing amazing work.
I was prompted to write this, after receiving an email from a reader whose business is really struggling. She told me that she feels she has to take whatever work comes her way, because she "can't afford to be choosy".
She then explained what her cycle, was.
She said she was working extremely hard, doing crazy hours, yet she's so broke that she can't afford to turn away the low paid work that's destroying her business. So, she accepts more low quality work and ends up undervaluing her time and doing work that makes her unhappy and pays poorly. The cycle then repeats itself.
Thankfully, any of us can break that cycle.
It's your business: Take control!
Sometimes, especially when business is sluggish, it's easy to forget a few critical facts:
- The marketplace doesn't set your fees. You do.
- The marketplace doesn't determine how much unique value you provide. You do.
- The marketplace doesn't decide who you choose to work with. You do.
At any point, you can choose to draw a line in the sand and decide to reject low value or average clients. You can decide to solve better problems and charge better fees. You can decide to fix the marketing errors, which are holding you back from attracting the best clients.
Or you can take the easy route: To do nothing and then complain because your business is going nowhere.
The key here, is that YOU get to choose. More of the same or something better? It's your move.

The ship has been asea already for some time. It has pointed its sharp-nosed prow toward Eighth Avenue since 2011, when it floated in from the nearby Hudson or, for all I know, down from space. It's an odd-looking edifice — bulging on one side, flat the other, but graceful, somehow graceful. It's Marni, adjacent to the meatpacking district but not quite of it. The telegraph click of needle heels doesn't resound. Your brunch cocktails have no power here.
Marni is not new. The label was founded in 1994, and its founder and original creative director, Consuelo Castiglioni, raised it up from a counterpart of the family-run fur business into something richer and stranger: an oasis of the odd in the world of high-end fashion, offering uniforms for the working woman unafraid of color or shape.
But in recent years, fade and fatigue had set in. In 2016, the company was acquired by OTB and Ms. Castiglioni stepped down. In her place came Francesco Risso, a cherub-curled Italian given to nonsense pronouncements. (About his own men's wear, and its disregard for tired conventions like fit: "His game of sizing is absent-minded!")
A year and a half into his tenure, his sprightly take on Marni has made its way off the runways of Milan and into the stores. While the essential elements of Marni remain the same — color and print being two — it is now a reflection of its head and his childlike sense of wonder and play.
That makes Marni especially welcome at the present, when the reigning stance of luxury fashion is aggression, reared up on its hind legs: a mash-up of street wear — in the Virgil Abloh/Supreme sense — and finery, logo-spattered, grimly protective. You used to be able to play around with clothes — not least at Prada, where Mr. Risso spent years. But even Prada, where Miuccia Prada extolled bad taste as well as good and dabbled in fabrics she hated as well as ones she loved, seems stuck in a rut. Compared with dour neutrals and ironic casual wear, Marni is an antidepressant, the Prozac to the prosaic. Here, you still can believe that fashion might be fun.
The first day I went, a friend in tow, the ship was manned by two clerks in matching orange sweaters, wrinkled shirts and green pants with their hems undone. Tweedledee and Tweedledum, as I have come to think of them, were kind, laid-back tour guides to the woozy weirdness of the Marni world. (They had dressed identically, they confessed, not entirely on purpose, but not entirely by accident, either — the kind of admission well suited to Wonderland.)
Dee fetched us rumpled shirts like his own (the wrinkles are built in!); Dum chatted in Italian to a browsing tourist. We navigated through a floating maze of mannequins hanging from the ceiling, admired a sky-blue jacket hanging inside out, peered through the Swiss cheese holes of a metal partition. Maybe it was just the cartoon patches by the artist Magdalena Frimkess Suarez ($45 each, pin 'em on whatever!) of frazzled cats and screaming gents that hung on mannequins right about eye level, but I thought the shop seemed stranger than on previous visits.
"It's a little different, but it's still Marni," Dee said cautiously. Then he left our clothes in a free-standing metal shack in the middle of the shop for us to try them on.
While Jon pondered a pair of carrot-shaped khaki trousers with (surprise!) an elastic waist ($530), I imitated my hosts and put on Mr. Risso's hem-dragging pants ($600) and wrinkled shirt ($570). So much of fashion is about a thirsty quest to look cool. Instead I looked, I realized with a surprising pleasure, like a substitute math teacher at a local high school, or Marc Jacobs in his nebbishy, pre-gym days. An underappreciated style icon: the nerd.
In women's wear, nerdery is less appreciated and, accordingly, less in evidence. On a subsequent visit, I brought my sister and her friend, who gravitated to dressier fare. A painterly printed cotton dress with cinched waist ($2,600). The foamy pink sneakers nearby: too nerd. The soft leather handbags with colorful ring closures: a hit, they decided. (At $2,200 and up, a very palpable hit.) A pair of giant pink plastic sunglasses ($595) got high marks; their frames looked like broken crockery.
I wondered whether I could bear dressing all Marni, all the time. The opening of a dressing room door sent the nearby line-hung mannequins spinning and I thought, "You know, I know the feeling." But it's a jolly dizziness Marni is trading in at the moment, and a fun one.
As I considered myself in my rumpled shirt and dorky sweater vest (trailing loose threads, $670), a fellow customer stopped to take me in. She was a lawyer, black clad, a serious working woman but maybe in need of a little lift. I knew the feeling. And, in the instantly chummy way of fellow travelers on a strange ship, she approved.
"Stay cute!" she said on her way out. Counselor, I'll try!

Sparks to fly at fire brigade open day
To coincide with the introduction of new smoke alarm laws, NSW Fire Brigades has brought forward its annual open day to this Saturday, April 29.
The new laws make it compulsory for a smoke alarm to be fitted in any building where people sleep, and according to Goonellabah Fire Station captain Kevin Muldoon, Saturday is good opportunity to discuss the new requirements with trained firefighters.
Goonellabah Fire Stations open day has become quite an event over the past few years, with hundreds of people turning up to talk about fire safety, enjoy a free sausage sizzle, inspect the engines and see demonstrations of the latest fire equipment. This year the station will be firing up the new Fat Fire Simulator, which highlights the dangers of using water to extinguish burning oil.
The Goonellabah Fire Station will also have four vehicles on display an antique 1917 Garford fire truck, a 1932 Dennis fire truck, the current Type II firefighting truck and the brand new Hazardous Materials Van.
The event is a great family day out and kids can clamber on the fire engines and meet the firefighters, who will reinforce important fire safety messages, said firefighter, Crystal Maher. Kids can even have their photo taken with Inspector Bernie Cinders, the NSW Fire Brigades mascot.
The open runs from 10am-2pm.
Other local stations opening for the day include Lismore, Casino, Ballina, Alstonville, Banaglow, Coraki, Evans Head and Kyogle.

Bronchiectasis: a bacteriological profile
Bronchiectasis: a bacteriological profile

The occurrence of bronchiectasis can involve a combination of many environmental factors, including infection. The aim of our work is to determine the bacteriological profile of bronchiectasis. This is a retrospective study of 100 patients hospitalized in between January 2010 and July 2013. The average age was 48 years with a 58% female predominance. Symptomatology was by a bronchial syndrome in 90% of cases. Bacteriological examination was able to isolate the microbe in 35% of cases. In our study it was through the examination of sputum cytology in 27% of cases, through the examination of liquid bronchial aspiration in 5% of cases, and through direct examination of sputum in search of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 3% of cases. Microbes isolated were: Streptococcus pneumonia in 11 cases; Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 10 cases, Klebsiella pneumonia and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 3 cases each; Moraxella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter spp, Serratia marcescens, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus in one case each. Through this work, the authors highlight that Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most commonly- identified microbes in their patients. It is necessary to have a full bacterial examination and to repeat it regularly over the course of the bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasisis a common illness that is often underestimated. Its treatment is complicated by the fact that it presents clinical and bacteriological heterogeneity. It is a permanent and irreversible increase in the diameter of bronchial tubes from the third to the eight degree. It can be the consequence of many different factors including infection [1]. Bronchiectasis can develop complications which fall into four categories: chronic respiratory failure, hemoptysis, infection and amyloidosis. Infectious complications are the most prevalent, and can come with various bacteriological profiles. Secretions accumulate in the bronchi and cause infections and secondary infections. The goal of this study is to determine the bacteriological profile of this illness as identified in bronchiectasis patients.
This study retrospective was conducted between January 2010 and July 2013 with a selection of 100 patients hospitalized with bronchiectasis (patients have a pre-existing diagnosis before hospital admission and during hospitalization). Data was collected according to a premade that gathered personal data, medical history, and symptoms, as well as the results of a chest examination, X-ray, Computerized Tomography scan, and bacteriological examinations. The Computerized Tomography scan diagnosis criteria was a bronchus diameter greater than the associated artery diameter, bronchial tubes visualized at the level of external third of the lung parenchyma and the absence of progressive reduction of bronchial tubes, as they gradually than take away of the hilum [2]. The criteria qualities of the sputum sample were neutrophil higher than 25 elements, and lower than 10 epithelial cells/field, bacteria count upper than 107/ml. The criteria quality of the bronchoaspiration liquid is positive bacteriology (by germs count upper than 105/ml). Data concerning treatment and the evolution of the illness were gathered as well. All data was analyzed using Epi Info Version 6.04. The difference is significant when p <0.05.
Patient backgrounds
�All patients were of Moroccan origin. 58% of cases were female patients, and 42% were male patients. The average age was 48 years with extremes of 15 and 80 years.
�Relevant medical history
�Repeated respiratory infection in childhood was reported in 58% of cases. 35% of patients reported a history of tuberculosis. 2% of patients had Kartagener syndrome.
�Bronchorrhea and purulent sputum was the most prevalent symptom, present in 90% of cases. Dyspnea was present in 76% of cases, and hemoptysis was present in 45% of cases.
�Examination of the chest
�Pleuropulmonary auscultation was normal in 25% of cases. Crackles were identified in 60% of cases and wheezing in the remaining 15% of cases.
�Chest radiograph and computerized tomography scan: (Figure 1 and Figure 2) All cases of Bronchiectasis were confirmed by Computerized tomography scan. The scans identified diffuse lesions in 66% cases and localized lesions in 34% of cases.
�Bacteriological examination
�The sampling was performed before antibiotic therapy in 40% of cases and 60% of cases after having received antibiotic therapy before coming to the hospital. The bacteriological examination in all cases was able to isolate the infecting bacteria in 35% of cases (Table 1) and unable to isolate in 65% of cases. The method of successful isolation was examination of sputum cytology in 27 cases, examination of liquid bronchial aspiration in 5 cases, and targeted test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum in 3 cases.
�Pulmonary function test
�Obstructive lung disease was found in 37% of cases. Restrictive lung disease was found in 55% of cases. Pulmonary function test results were normal in the remaining 8% of cases.
�In 15% of cases, patients were started on empiric antibiotic therapy which was adapted according to the results of the susceptibility test and the patient's progression (Table 2). Tuberculosis treatment was administered in 3% of cases. Surgery (lobectomy) was performed in 16% of located and complicated bronchiectasis cases. All patients operated had a simple evolution. Bronchial drainage was employed in all cases.
�Chronic respiratory failure developed in 15% of cases. Infection presented in 13 % of cases. Only 5% of patients experienced more than 2 flare-ups within the year following the treatment. Favourable evolution was noted in 67% of cases.
The bacteriological profile of diffuse bronchiectasis according to geographical location, the stage of the disease, and the status of the patient immune system. Infections are responsible for oedema of the bronchial mucosa and are the principle elements in Cole's "vicious cycle" [1, 3]. This illness is more likely to affect females, as noted by multiple authors [4, 5]. In our study females represented a higher percentage than males, although the difference was not significant. The average age at which the infection showed in our patients was 48 years, which was lower than that of other studies. Martinez-Garcia MA et al found an average age 69.9 [5], and Darrien found that the infection presented in patients older than 50 years in 75% of cases [6]. The cause of bronchiectasis is difficult to determine, even after an exhaustive examination. The cause of bronchiectasis stays unknown in 50% cases [6]. In our study, the microbe was isolated in only 35% of the cases. The rate of positive bacteriology is relatively low for the hospitalized bronchiectasis cohort. This observation is probably linked to the selection bias inherent in the sampling for 60% of patients received antibiotic therapy before coming to the hospital. The occurrence of bronchiectasis often implicates the conjunction of multiple environmental factors, especially factors that are bacterial in nature. Previous respiratory infections were noted in more than half of patients in the existing literature, but this decreased with the arrival of antibiotics and vaccinations [2, 7]. We found previous childhood respiratory infections in less than 50% of our cases. Tuberculosis can also be responsible for bronchiectasis, as was found in certain cases of our study. Symptomology is not specific for bronchiectasis, as bronchorrhea or dyspnea can be seen in the course of chronic bronchitis [6]. Likewise hemoptysis is not specific to bronchiectasis. An inflammation or infection in the lungs causes this type of hemoptysis [6], however it is one of the greatest causes of bronchiectasis [8]. Normal pleuropulmonary auscultation does not exclude a diagnosis according to this study. The presence of crackles is often evidence of parenchymatous infection and secondary infection. Thecomputed tomography (CT) scan of the chest sets the diagnosis of bronchiectasis. At the same time it allows the doctor to assess extent of the lesions and can indicate an etiological diagnosis. The scan has transformed the diagnostic approach to bronchiectasis particularly as it can detect smaller lesions that pass unseen on a chest x-ray [9-11]. A bacteriological examination must be systematically given to any patient presenting bronchiectasis. This test sometimes makes it possible to isolate the infecting microbe, as 35% of the cases in our study. Some authors have found similar numbers [12], while others have found lower or higher percentages [12, 13] (Table 3). Cytobacteriogical testing of sputum has an important place in this process. In our study this test allowed us to isolate the bacterium in 27% of cases. Examination of liquid bronchial aspiration can also accurately isolate bacterium [14], as was achieved in 5 % of cases in our study. Among the bacteria identified, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the first and second-most frequently found in our study, respectively 11% and 10% of cases. However, the literature generally presents the most frequently found bacteria as Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, in order of decreasing frequency [2]. This difference, especially with regards to Haemophilus influenza, could be due to the relatively younger age of our patients, as Haemophilus influenza is most often found in children and the elderly. Bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow into a colony within their hosts. The presence of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa colony is correlated with decreased quality of life [15, 16]. It is an independent factor associated with an accelerated decline in respiratory function [5]. It presents in later stages of bronchiectasis and marks a downward turning point in the progression of the disease [5, 16-18]. The testing of sputum for Koch's bacillus must be performed. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was found in 3 patients (3%) in our study, while other authors found as many as 9 cases in a study of 91 patients with bronchiectasis [19]. The progression and prognosis for bronchiectasis are a function of how widespread the lesions are and the medical history of the patient [6]. Chronic respiratory failure is the most reliable evidence of bronchiectasis that has been developing over the course of several years.
Through this work, the authors emphasize that the bacteriological profile of bronchiectasis is variable. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most commonly isolated bacteria in their patients. The presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a poor prognosis. Regular and repeated bacterial checkups are necessary over the course of bronchiectasis.
The authors declare no competing interest.

Banner Engineering Expandable Safety Controller Design is Exceptionally Flexible and Intuitive
Minneapolis, MN—October 21, 2014—Banner Engineering announces the XS26-2 expandable safety controller. With the capability to add up to eight expansion I/O modules, the XS26-2 platform was designed to easily adapt to diverse automation requirements and address a wide range of safeguarding applications. The base controller models have 26 input terminals, four terminals for two redundant safety PNP outputs and a USB connection for loading configurations. Base models are available with an optional on-board display or an embedded Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP capability for access to live I/O status and system diagnostics to assist in troubleshooting and commissioning.
"We know that control engineers and maintenance staff are required to do more with fewer resources and, as a result, value reliable, easy-to-use safety products," said Tom McMonagle, Senior Director of Product Planning at Banner Engineering. "In response, the engineering teams at Banner have been purposely focused on developing an industrially hardened safety control system and a highly intuitive, easy-to-learn graphical user interface."
The safety controller's complementary PC Graphical User Interface configuration software is simple, uncluttered and easy to navigate for configuring and documenting safety functions and assessing the status of connected input or output devices. The system configuration tool uses a function block diagram format that consists of pre-engineered and pre-tested safety function blocks, as well as a set of Boolean functions. As the function block configuration is created, a corresponding logic ladder reference diagram and a text-based summary are created.
To meet requirements of diverse applications, the XS26-2 platform offers six I/O expansion module models with a variety of safety inputs, solid-state safety outputs and safety relay outputs. For efficient terminal use, the XS26-2 base controller and expansion modules allow a portion of the safety inputs to be configured as outputs.
During the configuration process, up to 64 virtual status registers are automatically populated with names of the input and output devices connected to the safety controller system. This enables remote access to the I/O device and system status information.

Hi everyone! I'm reviewing the MAC peachtwist blush on the blog today, which is my first blush from MAC. MAC describe this blush as a "golden tawny peach (sheertone shimmer)".
I was first introduced to this blush when I got my makeup done at MAC last year. The blush is in powder form, and the packaging is the standard round packaging with a transparent lid.
The blush is a deep apricot/peach color, with a subtle gold shimmer. I believe that the MAC sheertone blushes are meant to be buildable. On initial application, the blush is sheer with a tiny bit of shimmer in it and brings a subtle glow to the face. From there, you can build up the color intensity to a shade that you like.
I generally shy away from blushes because I'm afraid of looking unnatural or over applying and getting a clown effect, but this blush is easy to work with and highly blendable. MAC products are always highly pigmented so I only need to use the tiniest bit of product on my brush to get my desired look.
Overall, this color seems to work really well on my Indian skin. If you have warm undertones or tanned skin, this gorgeous peachy brown shade is probably going to look gorgeous on you. I'm enjoying the soft peach bronze glow that this blush gives my skin and have a feeling that I'll be reaching for it a lot in the colder months.
You can find the MAC Peachtwist blush on the MAC website for $41. Thanks for reading! x


text: The USD/JPY pair tried to rally during the course of the day on Monday, but turned back around in order to form a bit of a shooting star. This was much like the stock markets in the United States, which this pair tends to follow. Initially, you saw a bit of a rally but then the sellers step back into the marketplace and pushed lower. The fact that we formed a shooting star suggests that we are in fact going to break down from here, probably reaching towards the 116 level again.

Those pesky little buggers which invade your kitchen or other areas of the house are a nuisance. Going to the store to buy an ant killer or trap is one way to get rid of them. But it is also simple and easy to make the best ant killer in your own home, which is effective, inexpensive, and safe for the whole family–as well as your cherished pets.
When deciding which options you have for the best ant killer, considerations need to be made based on a number of factors: safety, effectiveness, cost, and ease of use. Comparing all of these factors will help you to decide which is the best ant killer for the needs of your home and family.
Store Brand Ant Traps
A few store brand ant traps and killers are available for purchase at your local grocery store, discount store (such as Target or Walmart), hardware store, or home improvement store, as well as online. Terro, Raid, Tat, and Black Flag are all brands of ant killers which can be purchased.
Terro is one brand of ant killer which is used with the intention of eliminating the colony. Liquid ant traps contain a sweet substance which initially attracts the ants and then they take it back to their colony to share with the rest of the crowd. The liquid bait in these traps contains essential the same active ingredient as what you will find in a homemade ant trap, with a less than 5% concentration of borax and costing significantly more than it would to make a homemade trap.
Raid Ant Baits – some of the ant bait traps made by Raid use one of the active ingredients known as Avermectin. While this ingredient does seem to be effective in killing ants, it also has been known to be toxic to humans when exposed in larger doses. There is a claim that this active ingredients keeps killing bugs for longer, and although they may be somewhat less expensive than the Terro brand, they still come in at a significantly higher cost than making your own homemade traps.
Black Flag offers a chalk ant killer which is put around the perimeter of the house. The problem with this, however, is that it kills the ants within minutes. This quick end of life means that the ants do not take the poison back to the colony where the reproductive queen ant lives, thus it is not likely that the entire colony is going to be eliminated through this method.
Homemade Ant Traps
One of the most effective and best ant killers available today is a non-toxic, family safe ingredient which you may already have in your own home. Borax is the salt of boric acid, and is often used in households for washing laundry or dishes. When eaten by ants, borax causes the digestive system to shut down and is fatal. Ants will not eat borax on its own– they are too smart. But the ants will be happy to ingest this poison if it is hidden in a concoction made up of sugar, water, and some sort of syrup (corn syrup, maple flavored syrup, or any other sticky sweet syrup will work).
Recipe for the Best Ant Killer
Typically 1 cup of sugar, ⅓ cup of borax, ⅓ cup of water, and ⅓ cup (or less) of corn syrup will create a goo which is attractive to the ants. The mixture is put into in whatever type of plastic containers you might have around the house. Entry and exit holes should be poked into the containers so that the ants may come in but the concoction does not leak out. The containers are then strategically placed around the house (inside and outside) where the ants will be likely to find them. The borax is slow acting, which means the ants carry it back to their colonies to feed to the other ants, eliminating the problem at the source.
Many folks find that it is effective to make these homemade ant traps each spring and play them around the inside and outside of the house in order to mitigate the potential for ants to invade. Using borax for homemade ant traps will likely prove to be the best ant killer based on safety concerns for your family and pets, cost of traps, and effectiveness for the traps to rid your home of nasty creeping ants.
