Big Deal announce new album / share title track 'Say Yes'
Big Deal have announced details of their long awaited third studio album 'Say Yes'. The follow up to 2013's 'June Gloom' LP is set to be on June 10 (17 for the US) via their new label Fat Cat.
The record nearly never happened at all after a laptop containing Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe's demos and ideas were stolen back in 2014, leaving the band to "start everything from scratch, it was fight or flight" – thankfully they fought, and the rewards are their to be seen on the LP's title track which is streaming below:

Fort Worth-born actor Bill Paxton, he of "Aliens," "Big Love" and "Apollo 13" fame (among many, many other roles) has died from complications during surgery. He was 61.
Paxton was inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame in 2007 and given a Texas Medal of Arts award in 2011.
Several folks on Twitter noted that he was one of the only people ever killed by an Alien, a Terminator and a Predator, a distinction he disputed in a 2011 interview with the American-Statesman. ("That's not technically correct," the actor (said). "I was only maimed by the Terminator. I only had what I call a traumatic encounter with the Terminator.")
Paxton started appearing in films in 1975 but came to public prominence in 1986 as the cowardly Private Hudson in James Cameron's "Aliens."
In a brilliantly paced film full of ground-breaking action and serious terror, Paxton was impossible to forget. His hysteria was visceral, and it helped that he was blessed with the most quotable lines: "Game over, man! Game over!" and "Seventeen *days*? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours!" He was incredibly annoying and completely fantastic.
Paxton's career was all over the place in the best possible way.
He showed up in the cult favorite "Near Dark," the video for New Order's "Touched By the Hand of God" and was critically acclaimed in the still-underrated "A Simple Plan."
He was astronaut Fred Haise in "Apollo 13," starred as the complicated polygamist patriarch in HBO's weird and excellent series "Big Love" and directed a very strong Matthew McConaughey in the 2001 thriller "Frailty."
He played a soulless killer on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," a nasty fellow cameraman opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in "Nightcrawler" and was currently filming the show "Training Day" for CBS when he died.
The guy was everywhere for 40 years. Hollywood will miss him a lot.

Former PM advisor
Alastair Campbell and The Thick Of It writer
Armando Iannucci have clashed on Twitter over the satirist's acceptance of an OBE.
Mr Campbell took exception to Iannucci's inclusion in the Queen's Birthday Honours list, writing: 'So @AIannucci OBE joins the Establishment he claims to deride. Malcolm Tucker and I do not approve of honours system.'
The outspoken Scot refers to a character in Iannucci's satire The Thick Of It, a government spin doctor strongly believed to be based on Campbell.
The witty satirist hit back however, tweeting: 'It's probably more Establishment to order your army to march into other countries for no reason. Swings and roundabouts.'
His jab at the Iraq war, which took place while the government Campbell worked for was in power, was deflected however, with the advisor responding: 'You see, your wit a bit tired and blunt already. Three little letters can have more impact than you realise. Tut tut.'
Iannucci fired back: 'WMD', a reference to the elusive 'weapons of mass destruction' that Tony Blair's government said had precipitated the need for the invasion of Iraq.
Campbell backed down a little at this point, saying: 'WMD good retort to OBE. But @aiannucci still hasn't answered Y (sic).'
'I hope it's not an attempt by Government to stop me because that's not going to happen' Iannucci said, as Campbell replied: 'That's what we call spin.'
Armanda has been busy developing a new series of The Thick Of It, along with penning US show Veep and writing for Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle.
BBC broadcaster Andrew Neil waded into the Twitter debate, saying: 'Why would somebody who constantly parades their anti-Establishment credentials accept such a bauble?'

Virginia Roach Control
Roaches may give homeowners and other occupants of a home the creeps, but are there real health concerns associated with these pests? The truth is that roaches are dangerous and need to be exterminated by a professional pest control company.
Roach Control Problems
Roach populations quickly increase in a home because of the easy access that these pests have to food and water resources. The nocturnal nature of roaches means that many people are unaware that they are living with the insects. Sighting even one roach typically indicates that an infestation is occurring behind the scenes.
Many homeowners opt for do-it-yourself sprays and traps to control roach populations. While these techniques may kill adult roaches that are present in a home, the problem with roach infestations is that these pests leave behind dirt and excrement inside of walls, cracks and crawlspaces throughout a home. This residue can adversely affect human health, and it is even possible for people to develop respiratory conditions because of a roach infestation. The benefit of hiring a professional pest control company is that they have trained technicians on staff who can eliminate pests and clean up everything that is left behind in order to protect the health of the occupants of a home.
Accel Pest & Termite Control is dedicated to providing quality pest control services at affordable rates. We know that families often forget to budget for pest control services because they do not expect to have a problem with roaches or other insects.

Bulger could face more legal action in Mass., other states
(NECN: Alysha Palumbo, Boston) – James "Whitey" Bulger left federal court Monday a convicted murderer and headed back to Plymouth County Correctional Facility to await sentencing in November.But that's not where this tale of murder and mayhem ends.
With his federal trial over, Bulger could now be prosecuted at the state level in at least four states.
NECN legal analyst and Mass School of Law Associate Dean Michael Coyne said, "There are murder charges pending in Oklahoma and Florida, which both states carry the death penalty with them."
In Oklahoma, Bulger faces charges in the Tulsa murder of World Jai Alai executive Roger Wheeler.
In Florida, he could be charged with the murder of businessman John Callahan.
While several victims' relatives have said they would like to see the aging mobster put to death, Coyne says that may not be a reality, even if he's found guilty in both states.
Coyne said, "By the time that process winds its way through the appellate levels the likelihood of him still being alive is relatively low."
But Coyne says that likely won't stop state prosecutors there from pursuing charges against the nearly 84-year-old prisoner.
"It's a sexy trial as we know, we just had a fascinating two months," said Coyne, "and so I wouldn't expect it would be easy for a prosecutor to pass on it."
Coyne says California could also take a crack at convicting Bulger, considering he was a felon and a fugitive when he was arrested with an arsenal of weapons and more than $800,000 in cash in Santa Monica in 2011.
"Those charges alone would keep him in jail for the rest of his life," said Coyne.
But the biggest question mark following Monday's split verdict is whether Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley will prosecute Bulger at the state level here, especially in the murder of Debra Davis where the federal jury had no finding.
Coyne said, "I think there's a chance, I think again they'll probably take a step back and assess the evidence."
A Suffolk County DA spokesperson said state prosecutors plan to meet with federal prosecutors in the next few weeks to go over the evidence to see if there are any state charges that could be brought in any related cases — that would include charges in the murder of Debra Davis and charges against alleged gunman Patrick Nee.

As California draws closer to legalizing marijuana, commercial land remains a premium item. In fact, commercial real estate that is cannabis friendly is now leasing for double or triple the amount that businesses have traditionally paid for them. This is good news for those who own such properties in the Golden State.
For instance, in one case, a man agreed to pay $5,000 per month for 10 acres, with under one acre of this plot being used to grow cannabis. If no cannabis were growing on this land, the property would have probably rented for just $2,000. Those in the marijuana industry must be willing to accept high rents and the competition that comes with purchasing these in-demand properties if they want to succeed in the industry.
Various types of real estate properties are currently being sought ahead of California's expected legalization of cannabis in January. These properties range from industrial warehouses to farmland and even retail storefronts. Along with the high demand for these properties, city zoning restrictions and complicated regulatory requirements can make purchasing such real estate a daunting task for both veterans and newbies in the industry.
Purchasing or leasing commercial real estate can be complex and stressful, especially in California's competitive environment. However, selling real estate can also be challenging, with one mistake having the potential to cost a seller immensely in terms of money, time and energy. An attorney can provide guidance to buyers, renters and sellers seeking various commercial properties in San Francisco as well as other parts of the state.

I have huge admiration for children's book creators that change up the whole book format. I mean, obviously, I love a well written story and a beautifully illustrated book, but when the way in which we read a book, turn its pages, or interact with a story is upended, it becomes something different entirely- craft, really. Books like Press Here and OH! have challenged the process, they're different, they surprise the reader with each turn of the page. I love that. More importantly, children love that.
I found Open This Little Book, by Jesse Klausmeier and illustrated by Suzy Lee, in an airport of all places.
The first page invites us to open a little book to read about the first character, a ladybug.
The next page is the little book, and upon turning it, the ladybug is about to open the next, even smaller book about a frog, which leads us to yet another tiny book, this time about a rabbit.
And so on and so on, the "books" each new character is reading get tinier and tinier, and the characters get bigger and bigger until we meet a giant whose hands are too big for the smallest pages in the center of the book so all the animals come together to help her. Then each animal in turn closes their book until we arrive at the end, where you, the reader, close the final "book" in order to open another (the moral of the story presumably being 'keep on reading').
Clever, isn't it? It's imaginative and engaging- and my children aren't anywhere close to being tired of it yet.
What are your favorite creatively constructed books?

This morning, the New York Times carried the story of the decision by several Public Schools in New York City to suspend traditional homework. The disagreements that have ensued have largely been by parents of students with very different viewpoints on this topic. This is definitely worth a read if only to broaden the lens with which one views this topic because, as I read, two things came to mind:
- in some families, providing meaningful after school activities is frequently limited by economics, time and money/resources, and
- parent input into broad ideas is a key to change.
As a parent, I would have loved the idea of no homework for my own child, who by the end of a school day had had just about enough with sitting still and completing paperwork. One assignment, burned in my memory, is of him sitting at our dining room table attempting to fill in the remaining (empty) pages of a spelling workbook, assigned for the night's homework ostensibly because it was the end of a school year and all pages must be completed. Did anyone "learn" anything from that exercise?
In the Times article, the attempts to move away from mindless drill-and-kill worksheets is something I would applaud. Suggested replacements for traditional homework include reading and finding other exploratory pursuits. These are all great ideas. Most students have library books from school or the public library that can be accessed if a personal library is not within reach.
However, I would suggest that the ability to find and fund those "other" resources for explorations – mentioned were additional software products or for-fee activities and programs – is problematic for parents who don't have the same monetary resources found in privileged, middle-class homes. Yes, Khan Academy is a free resource, but if your family doesn't have internet access or a workable computer device, that free resource is not available. I worry that under the current federal administration how long programs like 21st Century School grants will continue. How this impacts a community with a large number of students from lower socio-economic means remains to be seen.
The "quality" of homework is cited in the article. This, too, needs investigation. What are the elements that constitute "quality" homework? I know how I would answer that, but maybe I don't know how a parent who is working 2 consecutive shifts and still living below poverty would answer.
Which brings me to Point 2. Parents need to be a big part of this conversation. Schools and Districts considering the change from a traditional homework model to something else, whatever that might be, have to engage all – and I mean all – the parents, not just those who find it convenient to come to meetings and presentations between 8:30 am and 3 pm. The educators have the expertise to make these changes, but the parents bring viewpoints to the discussion that not only need to be considered, those views must be considered.
Read the article. Learn from it. And let's move forward in making homework something more than a mindless and epic after school battle.

Daffan in Stafford County, Virginia — The American South (Mid-Atlantic)
Potomac Creek Bridge
"Beanpoles and Cornstalks"
Over the next three years, the Union army built as many as four railroad bridges atop this same abutment. In May 1862, engineer Herman Haupt supervised unskilled Union infantrymen in harvesting two million feet of local lumber to construct the first of these structures, accomplishing this task in just nine days. During a visit to the Fredericksburg area, President Abraham Lincoln
Around 1899, the south abutment and its approaching right-of-way (now occupied by the county road that you followed to get here) were abandoned. The railroad and bridge were shifted to their present locations at that time.
"I have seen the most remarkable structure that human eyes ever rested upon. That man Haupt has built a bridge across Potomac Creek, about 400 feet long and nearly 100 feet high, over which loaded trains are running every hour, and, upon my word, gentlemen, there is nothing in it but beanpoles and cornstalks." —Abraham Lincoln

Mission Report 2017 by Dr Rhona McCrone

Please click here to view a pdf of the article.
Author: Dr Jeremy Purdell-Lewis, Clinical Fellow, Royal London Paediatric Critical Care Unit
It is now five weeks until I will be touching down in the Philippines for the first of, what I hope will be, many missions with the Operation HOPE team. As a trainee anaesthetist, and new recruit to the project in the Tarlac province, I am filled with excited anticipation of what the coming weeks will bring. I understand the original anaesthetics founders, who were part of Operation HOPE and the PAGES mission, were dubbed "the A team" and it is an honour to be joining an amazing project. I first went into medical school in 2003 with the aim of becoming a psychiatrist, so this is a slight change of plan.
After 6 years of university education and two more years as a hospital junior doctor I was still looking for my future speciality. It was not for failure of enjoying my chosen profession; I just liked the jobs I had done and found that choosing just the one was a difficult decision. I enjoyed medicine, surgery and loved emergency medicine. Unfortunately for psychiatry, however, that was now off the menu as I at least knew that I wanted to be a hospital based doctor. It was during my academic research job in the LIGHT facility affiliated with Leeds University that I was first introduced to anaesthetics as a viable career path. The research involved analysing the role of pre-operative cardiopulmonary exercise testing on surgical patients. It was then that I decided on anaesthetics as a career. That is to say, with a final 1 year detour via high dependency unit medicine and a further 6 months in emergency medicine, which, again, I loved.
Another two years later and I had completed my basic level competencies for anaesthetics and my primary anaesthetic exams, both of which are by far my proudest academic achievements to date. I am also lucky to say that I love my job. So what about The Philippines and international medicine? At medical school I also completed a Bachelor of Science degree in International Health. This allowed me to bring together my interests in the wider world with my fledgling healthcare knowledge.
Early university summer holidays were spent in Tanzania where I forged a relationship with a school near Dodoma, the country's capital, and my old school in the UK, Birkenhead Boys School. The project was about education for both Tanzanian and British children alike, helping people understand each other, and helping those the most, who have the least. More latterly I have worked as a doctor on international trips to Kilamanjaro and twice to the Honduran jungle. So, international health and equality has always been something that I have valued greatly.
Towards the end of my novice anaesthetics training, Dr Chris Barringer, a British anaesthetic consultant, asked me if I would be interested in going to the Philippines to work with The Face Charity as part of Operation HOPE. To me, it was an absolute 'no-brainer'. It was a metaphorical 'pat on the back' that I would be good enough for the job, but also a brilliant opportunity to help those in need. It gives me great pleasure to be part of a team and to make a real and tangible difference to people less fortunate than ourselves.
In the UK we are extraordinary lucky to have a healthcare system which is free at the point of care and allows children and adults alike to access lifesaving and life changing intervention. In most countries around the world this is not necessarily the case and I see it as my responsibility as a doctor to give those normally unable to access that life changing care, the opportunity to do so.
With the Operation HOPE trip on the horizon and nearing the end of my novice training in anaesthetics, I decided that I wanted some further exposure in paediatric care. With this in mind I applied for a 6 month Paediatric Critical Care Unit job in London which is now coming to an end. This again has been a job that I have thoroughly enjoyed. It has been a steep learning curve and was initially quite daunting, but it has been an invaluable learning experience and I hope this paediatric exposure will stand me in good stead for both the trip to The Philippines as well as my future anaesthetic training.
After Operation HOPE, and before finally settling down to complete my intermediate and higher anaesthetic training in the UK, I have a great job for 6 months as an air adult retrieval registrar for MedSTAR in Adelaide, Australia. I have always wanted to be a flying doctor and am looking forward to this job which involves the assessment and stabilisation of acutely unwell adults as well as the transfer of critically ill adults to tertiary care.
So, with only five weeks to go I look forward to meeting the team in the Tarlac province and hopefully playing a part in changing the lives of children who otherwise may never have had the chance for surgery.
I joined an American charity called PAGES (Philippine American Group of Educators and Surgeons) for a week from Feb 7th to 15th. This is the 24th year that this group has been coming to the Philippines; performing cleft lip and palate operations for those who are unable to get this care normally.
This year the mission was set up in a small community maternity hospital in Tagaytay City, in Cavite a province 50 miles south of Metro Manila. Before our arrival the advance team had set up the existing delivery and theatre area into our temporary theatre complex. Moving and unpacking theatre tables, anaesthetic machines and surgical equipment from the groups warehouse storage unit in Manila. This just left the set up, unpacking and checking of the anaesthetic and surgical supplies for us to carry out on our first day before operations started.
Author: Dr Mark Catolico, Final Year Specialty Registrar, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust
As a UK trainee we have the privilege of plentiful senior input comparative to other specialties. At this point my experience was nine months in general anaesthesia & paediatric anaesthesia with direct supervision only. What was I to do when faced with anaesthetising a paediatric patient in a developing country! This was the challenge that I chose to accept.
How I got involved
It was early December 2005, in the brand new state of the art Theatres at University College Hospital. I was the anaesthetist for the Paediatics Maxillofacial list. Whilst in the anaesthetic room, Mr Peter Ayliffe (Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon) spoke to me. This can be quite difficult whilst attempting blind nasal intubation, but I proceeded multitasking and Mr Ayliffe started talking in Tagalog (native language of the Philippines). This threw me completely. I failed my blind nasal technique, and tried a more conventional approach.
By this time Mr Ayliffe told me his involvement with PAGES (Philippine American Group of Educators & Surgeons) and its annual medical missions to the Philippines. By the time I had transferred my patient to the operating theatre I had somehow agreed to go on the mission.

If you create a workbook and Publish and Set up Refresh schedule so that Tableau Server is able to Read your Fresh data per week, you would be good.
2. Re: Show Historical Date DataMichael Gillespie Jun 27, 2018 11:09 AM (in response to jason.hodge)
Jason, I'm not clear on what you're asking.
Does the data set you are using not contain the historical data (i.e., it is always and only "CURRENT" data for whatever your definition of CURRENT is)?
If that is the case, the only possible thing I can think of that MIGHT work is to create an extract of the CURRENT data and save that extract off to a file share somewhere. You could use Tableau to export the data to a CSV file, and then (again, manually) UNION each of the resulting CSV's together to create a set of historical data points. That's a lot of manual work, though.
If that is NOT the problem, could you perhaps explain it in a little more detail?

Christina and I saw a peculiar sight when we were driving down East Main Street in Torrington one night. It was a quaint, little restaurant that stood less than a mile from the highway. We noticed that it was too small for people to eat inside and that it was only accessible by walk-up and drive-thru windows. We also noticed the restaurant's sign-an adorable raccoon eating a rice bowl with chop sticks. We couldn't recognize the name in the dark, but we remembered the sign and we were interested enough to conduct further research. Once we discovered that the owners lived in Japan before opening Teriyaki Boy, we knew we had to review it!
Teriyaki Boy
Grade: A-
Location: 305 East Main Street, Torrington, CT
Atmosphere: 9/10-Teriyaki Boy's odd appeal is that it's only accessible by a walk up window and a drive-thru window. In Connecticut, one would typically expect this up type of set up from an ice shop such as Dairy Queen, not a Japanese restaurant. Teriyaki Boy's other appeal is its existence as one of the only rice bowl restaurants in the state. The owners knew they had something special to offer a town that already has many restaurants. These facts inspired us to drive an hour from where we live to eat there. While seating is limited, we enjoyed being able to eat outside on a sunny, summer day.
Service: 9/10-Teriyaki Boy has a small staff, yet they are still friendly and efficient. While the owner was of few words, we found her to be pleasant and dedicated. The rice bowls take no more than five minutes to make, but this amount of time does not sacrifice the quality of the products. This speaks to the staff's knowledge and practice in their craft.
Selection: 4/5-The menu contains a select number of items in terms of drinks, appetizers and entrees. Rice bowls and curry make up the bulk of the menu. Customers can also order items such as miso soup, shumai (fried shrimp dumplings) and Tokyo style ramen. The rice bowl flavors include Beef Teriyaki, Chicken Teriyaki, Veggie Tofu, Salmon Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu Curry, Seafood Combo and popcorn chicken. Delicious Japanese soft drinks such as Calpico can be found on the menu as well.
Price: 5/5-Customers will pay no more than $8.95 for a meal at Teriyaki Boy. Whether you are in a hurry for lunch or want to sit down and stay awhile, you won't have to burn a hole in your wallet.
Taste: 9/10-As mentioned above, while many of Teriyaki Boy's items are fast and ready-made, they do not sacrifice flavor. For example, when we tried the Salmon and Veggie Tofu rice bowls, we could taste the juices of the salmon and tofu before applying the soy sauce. Likewise, the pickled ginger tickled our taste buds and the steamed vegetables reminded us we were eating a healthy meal at an affordable price. Our
Recommendations: We recommend trying the Veggie Tofu, Salmon and Chicken Katsu Curry as our top picks for the rice bowl selection. Of the ramen, miso stands out as the most flavorful. For a drink, we recommend any of the Calpico flavors, especially the original lemon if you have never tried the beverage before.
In a nutshell: 36/40-Whether you live in the Torrington area or you're looking to make the trip, we recommend Teriyaki Boy for its delicious cuisine, affordable menu items and all around originality. In order to survive, people need to get the word about Teriyaki boy. If you enjoy what you try, please do the restaurant a favor and spread the word.

After completing his training in the 1960s,
Waterhouse worked in the design field for a number of years.
"I enjoyed the creative aspect of the job, but the client
restrictions always messed up what I wanted to do," he says.
In 1972, he left the commercial art business and began to pursue
his first love: painting the picturesque English countryside
and its wildlife.
Waterhouse was raised in Yorkshire and later moved to
the Lake District in the northwestern section of the country,
a region made famous by writer Beatrix Potter and English poet
laureate William Wordsworth. "It's very pic-turesque and
quite romantic. he says. "The lush green hills are dotted
with lakes and enchanting cot-tages surrounded by old stone walls.
Even today it continues to attract artists and poets as well
as tourists."
Because his was a rural environment, Waterhouse
spent much of his childhood outdoors, becoming especially fond
of bird watching and studying nature, and his early work reflected
those first hand experiences. "It was never my thing to
get into the African game animals," he says. "Rather,
I enjoyed portraying familiar species in a tight environment,
such as a rabbit near its war-ren or birds around their nests."
Before long, Waterhouse was invited to exhibit his delicate gouache
renderings in shows throughout England as well as in Germany
and the United States. He also began to market his work through
a gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, and by 1975 was spending almost
two months each year in Arizona and California, researching wildlife
native to the Southwest. In 1982, he set up housekeeping in Santa
Barbara and soon after met Diane, the woman he would later marry.
Today the couple has a 9-year-old daughter, Claire, who often
joins her father at a local charity show in which she offers
her own small paintings for sale.
Sunset through the Trees, oil, 16' by 12'
"Just across from my home, I am blessed with this open space
and eucalyptus groves, and in the winter we get these fabulous
sunsets. I watch for the right time and weather conditions, set
up my easel, capture on canvas these special moments.
As an extension of their mutual love of art, in 1984
the couple opened the Waterhouse Gallery in Solvang, California,
relocating in to Santa Barbara five years later in order to be
closer to home. During that period, Waterhouse was moti-vated
to refocus the direction of his work, as well. "I wanted
to do some-thing completely different, so I began painting out
of doors, and the freedom of working on-site became a challenge,"
he says. "In reality, I still spend 50 to 60 percent of
my time in the studio, because that's a great place to refine
the larger images, but I make a concerted effort to retain the
spontaneity and freshness that are the hallmark of plein air
In keeping with a tradition he began in England, Waterhouse
works out of a studio attached to his gallery. He confides that
there are practical advantages to being a painter. "We just
finished remodel-ing our bathroom and, when our tile guy asked
who was going to do the faux finish on the wall, I proudly told
him, Me,"' he says. Diane loves to collect art and the couple's
collec-tion includes 70 original paintings by such talented artists
as Kevin Macpherson, Jeremy Lipking, Loren Speck, Steven Hanks,
Laura Robb, Kim English, Donald Teague, and Jean Legassick.
"The interesting thing about art is that many people clout
realize it affects every aspect of their lives," Waterhouse
says. "Whether it's the car you drive, the building you
live in, or even the garments you wear, they have all been designed
by somebody. Apart from religion andwar, art has played the largest
part in defining our civilization. It brings a sense of peace
and beauty to all it touches, and I am so fortunate to be able
to make even a small contribution to that."
Myrna Zanetell is a writer living in El Paso, Texas.

More Tips and Tricks - Sewing with Silkcomments (3) January 18th, 2008
Silk is the queen of all fabrics. Like royalty, silk often demands special treatment to get the right results. Silk is one of my favorite fabrics to sew and wear. The hang and drape are second to none. With a little care, you can achieve fantastic results on this regal fabric.
Use very sharp cutting tools - When cutting silk, make sure you are using very sharp cutting tools. A nicked blade can cause pulls and picks that will ruin your fabric. If you use a rotary cutter, use a fresh blade with each new project. When using shears or scissors, test them out to make sure there are no nicks in the blade before cutting in to your fabric. If there are, have your scissors or shears sharpened.
Use a single-layer pattern layout - Because silks tend to slip and slide, I always cut pattern pieces on a single layer of fabric. By doing this, I ensure that the fabric grain is aligned correctly and eliminate distortion due to the fabric sliding over itself.
Use a paper underlay for very slippery silks - You can minimize fabric movement and distortion when cutting out chiffon, crepe de Chine or other very slippery silks by placing a layer of Kraft or butcher paper on your cutting surface and then laying your silk over that. The paper has enough "grab" to prevent the fabric from sliding while you pin and cut.
Stay inside the lines - Pins leave holes in finely woven silks. When pinning your pattern to your fabric, or when pinning pieces together in preparation for sewing, make sure that your pins are within the seam allowances so you don't see holes in your garment.
Use tailor tacks for marking - Instead of using a marker or chalk, make all markings on your pattern with tailor tacks. Tailor tacks are made by running a doubled length of thread through your fabric at notches, dots, and other marks. I use cotton basting thread, which doesn't leave any marks.
Clip notches within the seamline - I often mark where notches are on the pattern by making a small (1/4 inch) clip within the seamline. This is fast and accurate, and it works well on most silks.
Use polyester thread for stitching - Once in a while, a student will ask me about using silk thread to sew silk fabric. It may seem like the logical thing to do, but you will get better results from good old polyester thread. Silk thread is frequently stronger than the fabric, and it can cut through your fabric at stress points.
Use the smallest needle you can - When stitching your fabric, use the smallest needle you can get away with. If you would normally use a 70/10 needle on a similar weight cotton or wool, take it down to a 60/8 with silk. I use a Universal needle, but you can also use a Microtex needle.
Use selvages for stays - If your pattern calls for stay tape or other reinforcements, use the selvage from your fabric, or from organza. I keep a supply of silk selvages in a basket for easy access when making pockets, rolling lapels, or reinforcing shoulders. An added bonus? They're free!
Press seams flat before you press them open - To get the best results with silk, after sewing each seam, press the seams flat on each side before you press the seams open. This "melds" the stitches into the fabric and produces a smooth, pucker-free result
Use a press cloth - Whenever pressing silk, I use a silk organza press cloth. This is super-simple to make. Simply tear or cut a length of white silk organza large enough for your pressing needs. I like to use a length that is 18 inches by the width of the organza, usually 44 inches. If you wish, you can finish the edges with a serger. When pressing, place this between your silk and the iron. This protects your silk from excessive heat, spitting steam, and "over-pressing" mishaps.
With these tips and a little practice, you'll find that silk provides a wonderful, rewarding sewing experience!

Get a Body Like Jessica Simpson's with This Workout
You don't have to be a fan of Jessica Simpson's acting or singing to admit that she looked amazing in those Daisy Dukes for Dukes of Hazzard. Jessica Simpson's trainer, and creator of the 5-Factor Plan, Harley Pasternak, shared with us how Jessica Simpson got lean legs and a toned body while keeping her curves.
Harley Pasternak gave us this workout plan that you can follow so you can get a body like Jessica Simpson's. Do this strength and cardio workout five times a week.
Try this for sexy legs...
Do at least 30 minutes of heart-healthy cardio five times a week, says Pasternak. Try cycling, running, in-line skating, and stair climbing, which all have thigh- and calf-sculpting payoffs.
Then sculpt your hamstrings...
- Lie faceup on floor with arms at sides, palms down, and calves on top of a stability ball.
- Engage abs and roll ball toward body with heels, lifting hips.
- Once heels are on top of ball, slowly roll back to start, lowering body to floor.
- Do 20 reps; 3 sets.
Do this for a bootylicious butt...
Cardio: Add some hills to your usual power walk, suggests Pasternak. "Incline walking activates your glutes and hamstrings, plus it's easy on the knees," he says. On a treadmill, set the incline to level 8, and walk at a pace of at least 3.5 mph for 30 minutes. Also try hiking, mountain biking, and climbing stairs.
Killer Butt-Sculpting Exercise
Targets: Hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, quads, and area just above the knee
- Stand on left leg, 2 to 3 feet in front of chair, with right foot on seat behind you, leaving slight bend in right knee.
- Keeping hands by chin and chest up, bend left knee 90 degrees as right knee inches toward floor. Make sure left knee doesn't just past toes.
- Hold for 1 count. Return to start. Do 10 reps. Switch sides and repeat. Do 3 sets per side.

Tips and Tricks for Long, Lean Legs
Fake It: Long Legs
"Make legs look longer with pants that have a straight, narrow cut," says celebrity fashion stylist Gina La Morte, founder of TheStyleDoctor.com. "Shoes with peekaboo toes also extend the leg line, as do skirts that hit two inches above the knee."
"If you're extra curvy, minimize the size of your rear with pants or shorts that have longer, lower pockets," La Morte says. "If you've got a flat butt, create an instant boost with smaller, higher pockets."

|Opening page of Kira and Maihi's Wedding Sign-In Book
Daysha's sister, Kira is getting married in less than 2 weeks, and she and her fiance', Maihi asked me to create their wedding sign in book. I was happy to comply! How could this book be less than fabulous when the photos I had of these 2 beautiful people were so stunning?
I have kind of started a tradition with these books. I have done them for each of my children as they have gotten married, for several of my nieces and nephews for their weddings, and for three of Daysha's sisters as well (just one more to go in that family!).
The opening and closing pages are left unsigned. All of the 2-page layouts are for signing when the guests arrive. It's so much fun to see all of that blank space get filled up with love! In the past, several people have asked me how it all works, so I'll explain. As with most weddings, there is a table with a sign-in book as you enter. Instead of writing your name on a line in a book, you get to write a message and sign it on the pages of this book. We take two 2-page layouts out of the protectors in the book at a time and lay them on the table. When those pages fill up, we slide them back in their protectors in the book and get out the next 2 layouts, and so on. By the end of the event, the book is full of love and is a perfect keepsake for the bride and groom.
Kira's colors are black, white, pink and gold. She's going for kind of an Audrey Hepburn feel at her wedding and this theme was so much fun to work with!
One of my favorite things I did in this book was using the "Beautiful You" Picture My Life Cards and cutting them up! I used them as banners, accents, and even just as is. Cool Beans!

A cultural dialogue with Felix Augustin, Consul General, Haitian Consulate in NYC
Misani | 4/12/2011, 4:47 p.m.
With the dawn of the new year, as we approach the one-year memorial of the devastating earthquake that ravaged Haiti on January 12, 2010, The Honorable Mr. Felix Augustin, Consul General of the Consulate General of Haiti in NY recently granted me a series of interviews focusing on his country, the first independent Black nation in the Americas. Mr. Augustin shared his insights in several areas including Haitian culture, history, religion, politics and the state of the country one year after the earthquake.
Focusing on culture, Mr. Augustin, who over the holidays took in one of the dynamic productions of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre's exceptional 2010 season, Geoffrey Holder's outstanding ballet, "The Prodigal Prince," commented on several aspects of Mr. Holder's work. "The Prodigal Prince" a marvelous tour de force, which bubbles delightfully and sparkles opulently like Geoffrey Holder's Rum Champagne Punch centers on Hector Hyppolite, the Haitian houngan (Vodou high priest) and renowned artist.
In discussing the Vodou religion practiced by Hyppolite, an ordained high priest, Augustin said, "You will have to look at that dialogue in the terms of the prejudging." He pointed out, "When you look at the culture of the Caribbean or Africa, the only way to dominate the people was to denigrate our culture."
In terms of religion, this was done through the oppressive Code Noir (Black Codes), a decisive set of laws devised by France's finance minister Jean Baptiste Colbert and passed by Louis XIV in 1685 that denied the practice of any African faith by the enslaved Africans in France's colonies, mandating them to embrace Catholicism.
"In Haiti, we are the victim of it, [the suppression of African culture] because first of all, Haiti became the first independent country in the region. But it has survived. That is what makes culture superlative because no matter what you do, as long as it is strong enough, it will survive and Haiti's culture has survived."
Expounding on the subject of Haitian survival (i.e. Hyppolite painting with a feather because he did not have paintbrushes), a commonplace topic in Holder's conversation along with a focus on the instincts and strengths of the Haitians, Mr. Augustin seized upon the subject from a historical perspective. "We are a survival people, and you can see it for example, in a man like W.E.B. Du Bois, the son of a Haitian," he said, referring to the Black U.S. educator, author and champion, who helped transform the Negro perspective of the role of the Black man in America.
"When you see people like Du Bois who are larger than life, you tend not to think Haitian; you tend to think of European or American, but the fact remains that a lot of Haitians left Haiti to go to Cuba, to go to the Caribbean, and most of them brought with them their culture, their history, their art, and they have developed...even in France, for example. Haitians are known all over the world in terms of culture. It is because of the 'rarefied' way for the Haitians striving for excellence that is what makes us what/who we are." Summing up this theme, Augustin comments, "although Haiti is a very poor country, what keeps us together is our history. Most people may not understand that."

The open grasslands and mosaic woodlands of central Kruger are archetypal African savanna.
Kruger Park Facts | Prehistoric Animals
This landscape underwent a major climate change at the end of the Miocene 5 million years ago, when global cooling led to a radical shift in weather patterns. The high rainfall that Africa enjoyed came to an end and the great tropical forests that had blanketed the continent slowly gave way to the relentless advance of the savanna.
Over the next 3 million years Africa's fauna underwent a complete change. Forest-dependent species either died out or adapted to the more open landscape, while animals that evolved earlier in the Asian savanna made their appearance in Africa.
This period is, of course, critical in the evolution of our own species.
The aridification of Africa and the change in food-gathering patterns got our primate ancestors walking on two legs. Africa entered a further drier cycle at the start of the Pliocene, 5 million years ago, and this resulted in further extinctions, and evolutionary adaptations.
Had one been able to travel through Kruger 2 million years ago, these are some of the predators you might have encountered in a landscape that would have been much more tropical and heavily wooded than the Park is today.Sabre-toothed cats (Homotherium crenatidens and Megantereon cultridens)
The sabre-toothed cats were distant cousins of the lion, which ultimately became the dominant species in this particular niche.
They had large, specialised canines which were well adapted to killing, but bad for bone crunching. This may have led to their downfall as their large and elegant teeth were too delicate for a savanna lifestyle.
Homotherium, in the fossil record between 5 million and 1,5 million years, was slightly larger than a lion and probably operated in prides in more open woodland. Megantereon was slightly smaller - about the size of a lioness - and preferred denser bush. Megantereon disappears from the fossil record about 500 000 years ago.False sabre-toothed cat (Dinofelis piveteaui)
Dinofelis was as big as a lioness and had less-pronounced canines than the sabre-toothed cats. It was probably quite leopard-like in its behaviour, leading a solitary existence and hunting by night.
Dinofelis was probably squeezed into extinction by the smaller and more versatile leopard which occupied the same riverine bush habitat.
Dinofelis exists in the fossil record between 5 and 1.5 million years ago. Leopard fossils dating back 3 million years have been found in South Africa.Giant Hyaena (Pachycrocuta brevirostris)
The giant hyaena was about 25% larger than the spotted hyaena seen in Kruger today. It probably hunted and scavenged in packs, and was one of the most formidable carnivores on the African landscape.
It had one fatal flaw. It appears to have had an over-reliance on the sabre-toothed cats. Scavenging their kills was a core part of its existence and when they drifted towards extinction 1,5 million years ago, the giant hyaena followed suit.Hunting Hyaena (Chasmaporthetes nitidula)
Often referred to as the long-legged hyaena, Chasmaporthetes was similar in size to the brown hyaena (40kg). Scientists believe that its long legs and its dental structure made it more of a hunter than a scavenger.
Its teeth were not adapted to crushing bone, which ultimately proved to be an evolutionary dead-end for the hunting hyaena that has been recorded in southern Africa from 3 million years to just over 1 million years ago.Wolf-like dog (Canis sekowii)
This species appears to be an ancestral form of the wild dog. Not much is known about it as it was only discovered in the late 1990s at Gladysvale in the Cradle of Humankind. It was the size of a wolf but had a broader diet than just meat.
The Gladysvale fossil, which dates back a million years, was found to have a wild date palm seed in its stomach cavity. The oldest fossils of the modern African wild dog in southern Africa are 500?000 years old from a site near Langebaan on the Cape west coast.
Enquiries / Questions

Advent is not Christmas. Just as Lent is not Easter. This ought to go without saying, yet in our consumer-driven, American culture Christmas seems to start earlier every year. We are inundated with secularized Christmas potpourri; the santa's are out in full force and "Jingle Bells" is playing in every retail store. At this rate, by Christmas Day, Americans will have had enough of candy canes and caroling and be ready to move on to Valentine's cards and St Patrick's shamrocks. Our culture moves so quickly from feasts to feast, we don't know how to fast. Not in the Scriptural sense.
Our Lord gives us gifts in superabundance; chiefly forgiveness, life, and salvation through His sacred Means. At times, without adequate preparation, we become complacent with these gifts. We are told and taught how to prepare to properly receive these gifts. For instance, the Small Catechism encourages fasting and bodily preparation before receiving the Lord's Supper. The front cover of the Lutheran Service Book, the hymnal in our pews, has appropriate prayers that may be used to prepare for the entrance into the church, before Confession and Absolution, before (and after) the Sacrament of the Altar. Our Lord desires to give to us, but not without proper preparation. His Law precedes His Gospel, preparing our hearts for Him.
Advent is pregnant with the expectation of Christmas. The gestation is only four weeks (or perhaps seven, if we count the last Sundays of the Church Year as "pre-Advent) as compared to the nine months of St Mary's pregnancy with our Lord. As with the expectant arrival of the newborn, the Church eagerly prepares to celebrate the Incarnation and Nativity of our Lord. The pregnancy is not the birth; Advent is not Christmas. And so we wait. And as we wait, we pray and fast and give alms. For these three practices are consistent with repentance and faith, both in Scripture and in Church history.
During Advent our Lord calls us to repentance through the "voice of one crying in the wilderness." That is, He sends St John the Baptist. John prepares the royal highway with the fiery preaching of the Law of God, condemning every sin, laying bear every heart before the Lord. Sin is real and its effects are devastating. If gone unchecked, its consequences can be eternally damning. Our Lord cannot dwell in hearts and minds that house sin and impenitence. His Law drives us to our knees in repentance, calling us away from our false beliefs and idols. He breaks us down in order to build us up. He kills in order to make alive.
Don't misunderstand me, however, Advent is not all gloom and doom, or devoid o joy. In fact, repentance brings the greatest joy. I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents (Lk 15:10). The liturgy evens declares, "with repentant joy" we give thanks to God. St Paul in various places says that the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ is the great mystery of the faith (Eph 3:4; Col 1:27; 2:2; 4:3). How shall you meet your coming Lord? Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You. For You will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; You will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." (Ps 51:10-13; 16-17).
In this way the season of Advent is but a microcosm of the Christian's life. We live in continual repentance and faith; constantly preparing for and meeting our Lord who comes to us. Our Lord who comes to us, to give, also sends His messengers to give us His Word leading to repentance. He prepares us to properly receive Him!
With this in mind, we will hold off on decorating the sanctuary this year for Christmas until after the Divine Service on the Fourth Sunday in Advent, December 22nd. We will eagerly wait in repentant joy for the celebration and praise of Christ's birth among us on Christmas. To aid our preparation we will keep back the decorations, the trees, the creche, the banners, knowing that our Lord prepares us to properly greet Him. Then, on the Eve of Christmas, we will enter the house of the Lord to the great sight of all the accompaniment of the lavish decorations and festivities of Christmas. We shall fast, then we will really feast!
In the Name of our Coming King,
Your unworthy servant,
Pastor Mierow

Who's going backpacking this summer? Do you have all the lightweight gear you need? How about an extremely lightweight mug and utensil set?
If not, definitely check out Snow Peaks HotLips 600 Titanium Mug and their Snow Peak Titanium Full Silverware Set.
The HotLips Mug weighs only 3.2 oz. That is super duper light. It's the perfect mug for backpacking but can also be used for camping. The silicone cover on the rim protects your precious lips from being burned. Genius idea, I say.
The HotLips Mug can be placed right on top of your cook stove to warm up your morning joe or tea. Go super lightweight and use it as your bowl, too.
The handles on the mug collapses easily so that it conveniently packs and stores without a problem. You can store a Snow Peak stove and gas canister inside the mug, as well. That is what you call compact, perfect for backpacking, easy organization and convenient.
The Snow Peak Titanium Full Silverware Set is just as cool. It weighs practically nothing at 1.8 oz and that includes a fork, spoon, knife and a slim case to place it all in. These aren't kid size utensils if you think that's where the weight is being shaved from. They are pretty much the size of regular utensils, just super lightweight.
If you don't need a knife in the backcountry you can get a set with just a spoon and fork. I love using my set for car camping right now. It helps me stay organized and and I can't wait to get Bedge and J-Man their own. The slim case comes in different colors so you can color coordinate for each person, which I love.
If you're looking for other lightweight gear for camping or backpacking check out the other items Snow Peak offers.
Are you concerned with weight when you go backpacking? How do you shave weight from your gear?
I was offered these items from Snow Peak at no charge. All opinions and comments are my own.

I recently went along to PR agency, Branded Lab's Spring/Summer showcase - 'Get Branded'.
Branded Lab look after some great high street fashion brands and as I'm not so familiar with some of the labels they represent, I was really excited to see their SS15 collections and get to know them better.
The brand showcase was held in Manchester's amazing Rosylee tearooms - one of my favourite places which has recently been transformed into more of a restaurant; I haven't been in for a while so it was great to see the changes to their menus and decor.
Pieces from South Avenue
Bejewelled Coord by KoKo Couture
Pick 'n' Mix!
South Avenue Coord and NaaNaa paisley playsuit
Alex and I looking at the ranges and being papped by photographer Sophie Lobban
While being treated to delicious, classic spring cocktails and the most incredible mini desserts (not ashamed to say that I tried all of them!), it was great to catch up with some of my favourite bloggers as well as meet some new faces.
On to the collections! I was really impressed with the brands on display which included British-made leather bags by Harriet Sanders, Jailbird Jeans, Ruby Prom, NaaNaa and South Avenue. The latter two brands were behind my favourite pieces of the evening which I've photographed above: the dreamy pastel pink Clueless-inspired check coord two-piece set and the cool boho-style red paisley playsuit.
Thanks to Branded Lab for a great evening and for a fabulous goody bag which included products from Lipcote, Elf and Avon - as well as a huge bag of sweets from their amazing pick and mix stand!
Have you seen anything you'd love to wear this spring from these brands?

I have added todays top output as attachment. The firefox version now is
firefox-184.108.40.206-1.fc6.remi so the firefox version does not seems to be an issue.
I dont have beagle on my system. I removed it a few days back.

cpu usage hits the top
Also If one adds comments and also wants to attach a file. After submitting, the
status of the bug remains old, in my case, it remained NEEDINFO. So I am added
comments again, i.e the third time. If it's a bug as it seems to then it should
also be taken into consideration. Otherwise as I perceive a lot of bugs may
remain in their old status even if additional info has been added.
Now I am saving all this in a file, maybe I need to feed it again cut & paste

I found a link posted below which is a firefox killer.
wow, it beats semoankey, too. I'll check it.
hm, that page was removed :-(( if you found any other page when ff hangs, can
you please attach it here?
The site's not even opening now. I'll see if I find something else and post if
necessary. Till then...
... till then is stays in NEEDINFO :-)
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in
one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
Well, I had reported a problem in the bugzilla guided tour setup.
After that I had just out of being more helpful pasted another URL, I had come
across which crashed Firefox browser, which in time got lost.
Since these two things happened almost after one another and there was no other
bug report against bugzilla itself that I thought firefox maybe at fault and
there was no problem with bugzilla. But as recently as a month or so back there
were other reportings of the same behaviour of the browser when one goes through
guided tour of bugzilla, which can be verified from fedora-list or
fedora-devel-list archives.
So there's nothing from my side to be reported. The URL was just another pointer
but if it's lost even then the main bug i.e bug in guided tour of bugzilla remains.
Well, the problem is that we cannot reproduce it here with bugzilla guided tour
(tried just now with firefox 1.5 in RHEL5, and with firefox 126.96.36.199 and
seamonkey 1.1.3 in Fedora 7). Unless we are able to reproduce this problem,
there is not much we could do about it.
BTW, bugzilla was partially reinstalled during the upgrade -- are you sure, that
you are able to reproduce described behavior with the current one?
I have again gone through the guided bugzilla and as the interface was loading
components list firefox went to 100% cpu usage. Attaching top log.
Firefox version:
Created attachment 199031 [details]
top output at 5 sec interval
Hmm, then there is something else making the trouble. There might be something
weird among your extensions, or some special configuration in your profile.
Could you try to reproduce this with empty profile, please? That means, could
you please shut down firefox, rename temporarily ~/.mozilla directory to
something else, restart firefox and try to reproduce the problem?
Thanks a lot.
OK, I did quite a long testing under diff scenarios.
1} Moved my .mozilla dir to tmp and tested GBT ( Guided Bugzilla Tour ;)
The top output file is firefox-freshprofile-withPlugins-top.out
2} Moved the /usr/lib/mozilla dir to tmp and tested GBT.
The top output file is firefox-freshprofile-withoutAnyPlugin-top.out
So, first time removed all the extensions etc and let firefox create new
profile, then nxt time removed all the plugins from the way.
Attaching the appropriate files. I am attaching a tar of all the files in one go
Created attachment 199481 [details]

So, if I understand your situation correctly, the problem is either somewhere
around your multimedia plugins or in your configuration. Unfortunately, that
means I have to close this bug.
My bad, I have misunderstood the attachments properly (some comment on the
conclusions about the data would be helpful). The conclusion should be that the
problem persists even with empty profile and without any plugin on reporter's
computer. Unfortunately, I am still not able to reproduce this on my computer.
Tried even with firefox 184.108.40.206-1.fc6 on Fedora Core 6 and still cannot
reproduce. Firefox was busy, but not unreasonably so (somewhere around 5-10% of
CPU in top).
Do you have some information which could help us to reproduce this?
(email I got by mistake from reporter):

I tried koqueror and it hit top at 84% and became unresponsive just at
loading component list.
Why I am after this bug so tenaciously is that one guy had remarked that
it was not an easy task to file bugs at bugzilla and I believe that lots
of people new to redhat just balk out of reporting bugs because of this.
I am attaching konqueror top log with mail.
Created attachment 201811 [details]
reporter's konqueror top log (mentioned in comment 35)
I have not been able to reproduce the problem even with your login and password
(you can reset the password, I won't need it anymore). However, as you probably
know konqueror has absolutely nothing to do with firefox -- neither shared HTML
parser, nor Javascript engine. Therefore, if there is any bug, it has to be
either somewhere in the configuration of your computer/network (any HTTP proxy?
just a guess) or in our bugzilla.
Changing product to Bugzilla as this is clearly not firefox bug.

CPU usage with opera
I also experience this problem, both with
opera 9.21 Build 641.
During my first test with fedora, the combobox which displays the different
components changes its width periodically.
Maybe it's something wrong with the javascript behind that site?
I can provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need.
> During my first test with fedora, ...
> During my first test with OPERA (!), ...
I experience the 100% cpu bug with firefox in Fedora 7 also
Some improvements have been made to the guided tour page. Please reopen this bug
if this is still a problem currently.
Thank you! Now it works without bigger problems.
The page still needs for 5 seconds 100% of my cpu, and i can't imagine what it
is doing with it (filling lists?), but I can live with that :).

top 2 sec interval output file showing firefox load on cpu
The problem seems to have been resolved, Attaching 2 sec top output. There is
100% cpuload but only for 5-6 sec duration and after that it comes back to
normal and also does not gets stuck at that point of bugzilla guided tour or
completely hangs as it used to.
Konqueror also shows the same behaviour. In all this bug seems sqashed. Thanks.


text: Teacher Mon Louis has remained consistent and has persevered in ensuring that students of the Aux Lyon Combined School are well sensitized when it comes to environmental issues. These students have displayed good solid waste management practices which has resulted in yet another achievement for the school. The school can now boast a cadre of vibrant litter wardens. To date approximately twelve litter wardens monitor the waste management activities of students of the school prior to the commencement of school, during break periods and after the dismissal of school. Students identified littering are asked to pick up the litter. Those who do not comply are required to pay a fine of fifty (50) cents. Teacher Mon Louis holds fortnightly meetings to ensure that all litter wardens are continually trained and guided with respect to their responsibilities as litter wardens. The Authority provided support to the initiative through the sponsorship of the litter warden badges for students. The initiative, we believe is admirable and therefore commend the school for making proper waste management practices a part of the culture of the school and hope that other schools could emulate and of course tailor the initiative to meet their own needs.
