We all know that music can provide comfort and support through life's harder times and fertility struggles are no exception to that rule. Songs can be a useful tool during IVF, helping you get in touch with those more difficult emotions; the right song can also help with recovery from setbacks, offering hope and comfort in the form of melodies and lyrics.
Musicians, we sometimes forget, are humans too, and some of them have experienced the exact same fears and feelings everyone does when coming to terms with a miscarriage, or facing the trials and tribulations of lengthy fertility treatment and IVF. Here are 10 songs, written by musicians who have walked the path to parenthood, with all its incredible highs and lows.

Open Letter to the entire Tapping Community, FasterEFT and EFT Friends
I am addressing this open letter to the entire tapping community, FasterEFT and EFT friends and family alike.
I appreciate all the feedback I've been getting, and I also greatly value all the support I've witnessed as well. To see how truly blessedI am to have so very many people who care for me and what I represent, and who see the genuineness from which I stand.
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has given me backing, and also to those who have addressed their concerns. I'd like to believe that ultimately, we are all striving towards the same goal of lifting each other up and walking each other home to a better, truer, and happier way of living.
That being said, there have been many accusations thrown my way regarding my lack of discretion with how and what I teach my students, the inappropriate means by which my practitioners address their clients' issues,and my ill guided motives for doing the work that I do.
To all of the above, I say no. The stories being told of my methods have been so unfortunately exaggerated and to which I choose to not insult, belittle, or degrade myself, my practitioners, and our clients by becoming a part of. Rest assured, the proper steps are being taken to ensure these false accusations cease once and for all, through more decent and formal avenues.
Both EFT and FasterEFT have changed and upgraded over the years and will continue to do so, as they should. As we grow as individuals, weare better able to improve upon the methods we know in order to more effectively help others. This is true for both modalities. For FasterEFT, a few examples of such improvements are reflected through the continuous evolution of the training levels and seminars, and the formation of codes of ethics and conduct, which, since 2014, have been and still are actively being worked on.
It's an honor and privilege to belong to a movement of like-minded individuals brave enough to face their demons. To be a part of a community that refuses to accept anything less than the truest joy. The upheaval of recent events is a perfect reminder and opportunity for us all to realign with why we got into this work in the first place, which is to first help ourselves and perhaps assist another bring the light back into their eyes. For it's only when we help ourselves that we are able to bless the world at large.
My wish going forward is for us all to stand united in the remembrance that, we together, are a leading example for the world in how surely possible it is to heal.
Much love and many blessings.
Robert. G. Smith

UNIONDALE, N.Y. - Walk into Nassau Coliseum, take a deep breath and there's a distinctive smell.
It's not a wretched smell. It's just a smell unique to the Coliseum, one that takes any Long Islander back to his youth.
Last March, after three years playing for the Calgary Flames, Eric Nystrom finally made his first visit to the Coliseum. Before playing his first game inside the arena he spent so many childhood mornings skating around with his father, Islanders legend Bob Nystrom, Eric inhaled a gigantic whiff of that Coliseum air.
"I said, 'That's Nassau Coliseum,'" the 28-year-old Nystrom said, laughing. "Who knows if we should be breathing that in, but I remember that smell from when I was a little kid. I don't know what it is, but I love it."
Nystrom, who grew up in the Long Island town of Syosset, returned home with the Wild for the first time Tuesday afternoon. After scoring a goal and an assist in last year's homecoming with the Flames, Nystrom will play in the Coliseum for the second time Wednesday night in front of scores of family and friends, including his dad, mother, Michele, and older sister, Marisa.
"He's definitely pumped," Bob Nystrom said. "He's spent many a day down there with me, and to come back and play in that building is a thrill for him and me to watch. It's not easy to come off Long Island and make it to the pros. He's worked his tail off."
Playing the Islanders is always surreal for Eric Nystrom. His dad is "Mr. Islander." Known for his feisty, tenacious play, Bob Nystrom scored clutch goals, especially in the playoffs, including the overtime winner that clinched the first of four consecutive Stanley Cups for the Isles in 1980.
"I mean, I wasn't just a fan of the team growing up," Eric Nystrom said. "I'd go down there on Saturdays with my dad and skate on the ice at 6:30 in the morning, just the two of us, with just tons of pucks. I knew all the players. I was entrenched, man."
Bob Nystrom directs the Islanders Alumni club. The team's annual leadership award to players is called the "Bob Nystrom Award." To this day, "Mr. Islander" walks into pizza parlors and bagel shops and the place comes to a halt.
"Whenever we'd leave a game as a kid, we'd go into the parking lot, one person would see Bobby Nystrom, and before you knew it, a mob of people was all trying to get his autograph," Eric Nystrom said. "He embraces that. He's so loyal to the people that have been so loyal to him."
Eric Nystrom never once felt he had to escape his dad's shadow. He was 4 months old when the Islanders won their fourth Stanley Cup and 3 when his dad retired, so it wasn't until later in life that he even realized how revered his father was. Hall of Famer Denis Potvin says he always remembers little Eric running around "with red hair and his dad's eyebrows."
"He didn't take to hockey the first little while, even when I was [an Islanders] assistant coach," Bob Nystrom said. "But once his friends started playing, he got the bug."
Nystrom and former Islanders teammate Gerry Hart coached Eric on a Long Island select team made up of current NHLers Mike Komisarek, Chris Higgins and Matt Gilroy.
"It was just a treat for me to travel from town to town and watch Eric play and develop," Bob said.
Said Eric: "I was just lucky to have a father that had such great knowledge of the game. You see any player who's had success from Long Island, at some point along the way my dad coached him."
It has been a trying year for Eric Nystrom. His first month after signing a three-year, free-agent contract, Nystrom seemed to be scored on every time he hit the ice. Defensively and physically, he actually has played well the past three months. But snakebit all year, he has scored three goals -- two in the past few weeks.
That's where he has leaned on his dad.
"He tells me he had 20-goal seasons. I said 20's like five these days," Nystrom said, laughing. "Seriously, my dad knows the exact time when I'm at the breaking point of frustration."
Added his father: "Eric's probably one of the most positive people I've ever met. God bless him for it, because to be honest, I was quite different as a player. But there are times I feel I need to call when I see things. I don't want to weigh in too much, but I just try to tell him to slow down because working harder isn't always working smarter."
Bob Nystrom was ecstatic when Eric signed in Minnesota. He believes the Wild can make waves in the playoffs, and father's dream is to one day witness son win the Stanley Cup.
It might never be four. But one would be sweet.
"Eric did get a chance to sit in the Cup as a baby," Bob Nystrom said, proudly. "Marisa did three years prior, so for me to get that photo of Eric in the Cup in 1983 was really important.
"And I hope he can hold it above his head one day."

It's been an on-going battle for the past decade and still, the proposed open pit copper and gold mine known as Pebble is still posing a serious threat to Alaska and it's salmon. For those who may not have heard of it, this could be the world's largest open pit mine at the headwaters of the most prolific sockeye salmon run in the world. It's a resource that provides countless jobs for commercial, sport fishing and subsistence fishermen every year and also provides over half of the world's salmon. It's a resource that is completely irreplaceable.
Yesterday, Pruitt proposed to reverse the salmon protections implemented by the Obama Administration a few years ago. It's a hard hit for Alaska and the fight against this mine. If you want to make your voice heard and tell the EPA why we must keep Bristol Bay protected, please take a moment voice your thoughts during the current Public Commenting Period open by the EPA – this period closes on Tuesday, October 17th.

Canadian Service Dog Laws
Each province has it's own rules and regulations in Canada. Unlike the United States with their ADA federal regulations, Canada does not have one governing rule or law that encompasses the whole country. Instead they allow the provinces to control and regulate their own laws reguarding Service Dogs. This can make things very confusing for people in Canada who are in need of a Service Dog or people visiting Canada, or people traveling within Canada with a Service Dog. I will try to post info for each province with links as the information comes to me.
British Columbia
The first link will take you to the Alberta Service Dog Act. The second will take you to the government wesite that answers questions about the Act.
The first link will take you to the BC Guide Dog Act. The second link will explain changes that are in the works currently to the Act. The third link answers questions people might have about the changes being made to the Act.
This link will take you the the Manitoba Service Dog Protection Act. I tried to find a government site like in Alberta and BC that address questions but have yet to find one. If I do I will add the link here.

BC's Guide Animal Act

BC's Changes to the Guide Animal Act

Nova Scotia
New Brunswick
The first link will take you to the Service Dog Act of Nova Scotia. I could not find a government website that answered questions about the Act. If anyone finds a government link like in Alberta or BC for Nova Scotia then please email me via my contact page with the link and I will review it. If it is from a government website I will add it here.
This link will take you to the Human Rights Act of New Brunswick. I could not find in my search a specific Act or legislation pertaining to Service Dogs for this province. Usually this means people with disabilities that use a Service Dog then depend on the Human Rights Act of that province to protect their rights. If someone knows of any specific Acts or Legislation for New Brunswick pertaining to Service Dogs please email me on my Contact page the link and information and I will review it and if it is from a government website then I will add it here.

What IS IT?
A double chin is the excess fatty tissue which can accumulate under your chin. It is caused when the fatty layer found in your skin begins sagging, causing a pocket of fat and skin, which has the appearance of a 2nd chin. A double chin is more commonly seen in elderly and overweight (obese) people. Excessive weight gain or loss,genetics and hormone changes are all factors that can lead to the appearance of a double chin.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
This is a radio frequency treatment which will help to reduce the appearance of the double chin by stimulating your skin in the treated area to produce more collagen, which will tighten the skin and give your chin the lift it needs.
This is a non-invasive treatment so there will be no downtime and it is pain-free. This treatment can be done every 2 weeks, for best results we recommend a course of 8-10 sessions. Results can be seen after the first treatment and will continue to improve, even up to 6 months after your treatments.
The professionals at Glo Laser & Beauty recommend the following products to use at home to help successfully treat and prevent acne:
Nimue Skin Refirmer Moisturizer
This product can be used as a night cream which will help reduce the sagging skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Lilian Terry Elastoderma Oil
This oil-based product can be used daily and can be applied like you would apply any normal body lotion. This product will help to repair the loose and stretched skin and also leave your skin feeling hydrated.

The wheat was beginning to yellow,
The apples beginning to turn —
Oh, how it comes back to a fellow,
Whatever you gather or learn!
We grow old, we grow rich, we grow clever,
Yet, of all of the hours we have had,
The time we remember forever
We sat on a fence with our dad.
We talked of the school and the teacher,
We talked of the crops and the rain,
The sermon last Sunday, the preacher,
Then back to the grapes and the grain,
And each had a willow to whittle,
A man with a beard, and a lad,
Yet neither so big or so little,
A boy on a fence with his dad.
A boy has his studies that bother,
A man has his matters immense,
But you're never as close to your father
As you are when you sit on a fence.
Whatever the trouble life brought us
When the lad is no longer a lad,
We shall find that the answer was taught us
When we sat on a fence with our dad.

Donate your points
You can now donate points to nine
different charities! Through your
contributions, we can continue making a
difference in the lives of those in need.
All Hands and Hearts
All Hands and Hearts effectively and efficiently addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. We communicate directly with local leaders and community members and then deploy our unique model of engaging volunteers to enable direct impact, helping to build safer, more resilient schools, homes and infrastructure. Through volunteer and community engagement, we focus on helping families recover faster after natural disasters using our "smart response" strategy. In doing so, we strengthen both our volunteers, and communities in which we serve.
American Red Cross
The American Red Cross exists to provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers, and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering- here at home and around the world.
Dream Foundation
Dream Foundation, the only national dream-granting organization for terminally-ill adults, fulfills final Dreams that provide inspiration, closure and comfort at the end of life. With the support of a nationwide network of volunteers, hospices, health care organizations and committed donors, Dream Foundation has given life to nearly 25,000 final Dreams over the past two decades, and has never turned down a qualified request.
Honor Flight Network
The mission is to transport all American veterans (capable of traveling) to Washington DC to see the Memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. Highest priority is given to WWII veterans and any veteran diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Team Rubicon
Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams.
Tens of thousands of volunteers, donors, and supporters make wishes possible for children diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. A wish-come-true replaces fear with hope; hopelessness with optimism; and helps wish kids feel better and sometimes even get better. Make-A-Wish® grants more than 14,200 wishes throughout the U.S. and its territories each year; nearly 75 percent of those wishes involve travel.
The Mission Continues
This organization empowers veterans who are adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact. We deploy veterans on new missions in their communities, so that their actions will inspire future generations to serve.
Ronald McDonald House Charities
We help nearly six million children and families around the world find comfort and access to critical health services each year. Our Ronald McDonald House Program alone gives children a place to play after a long day at the hospital; parents a place for a good night's sleep and warm meal, near the hospital; and families relief from the financial and emotional burdens of traveling for their child's medical care.
Student Conservation Association
SCA's mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of the environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land.

Looking to spice up your first dance at your wedding?
The most romantic form of dance I know in slow form is Salsa.
Many people think of a first dance as a slow waltz or traditional foxtrot, but you can find just as much romance in an untraditional style as well...let's talk salsa!
Salsa emerged in New York in the 1970s. It was a mix of other popular dances of the time, such as cha-cha, mambo, and swing. This concoction gave dancers unique rhythms and patterns that became very popular among the social scene.
Although salsa is still a popular social dance, it is generally overlooked when it comes to wedding first dances. However, this is a great style for couples looking to do something unexpected, romantic, and fun! Think you won't be able to find a romantic salsa song?
Check out our list below for some favorites that are perfect for a first salsa dance...
1) "Como Fue" by Ibrahim Ferrer
2) "Tu Amor Me Hace Bien" by Marc Anthony
3) "Ven Devorame" Lalo Rodriguez
4) "Anhelo" by Adolescentes Orquestra
5) "Just the Way You Are" by Alex D'Castro
6) "Lady" by Orquesta La Palabra
7) "You Are My Home" by Chayanne, featuring Vanessa Williams
8) "Thinking of You" by Lenny Kravitz
Mesmerize everyone with your performance on the D-Day. Let the love blossom.

Kurzweil News - Dec. 3. 2012Would it be possible to integrate biological components with advanced robotics, using biological cells to do machine-like functions and interface with an electronic nervous system — in effect, creating an autonomous, multi-cellular biohybrid robot?
Researchers Orr Yarkoni, Lynn Donlon, and Daniel Frankel, from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Newcastle University think so, and they've developed an interface to allow communication between the biological and electronic components*, described in an open-access article in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics journal.
One of the major challenges in developing biohybrid devices is in the interface between biological and electronic components. Most cellular signals are simply not compatible with electronics. However, manipulation of signal transduction pathways is one way to interface cells with electronics.
So the researchers genetically engineered protein cells from a Chinese hamster ovary to produce nitric oxide (NO) in response to visible light. Here's how:

The presence of one of the new 16GB Vengeance LPX memory kit models that includes two DDR4 8GB DIMM modules, enables Corsair to register with G.Skill as the fastest DDR4 memory producer in the world today.
Coming with a 4.6GHz clock diusungnya, Vengeance LPX DIMMs have similarities with G.Skill Trident Z memory module that has just been launched. And even like its main competitor, Corsair Vengeance LPX memory module is also equally equipped with features Samsung B-die top-class IC selected to ensure the performance of existing gaming rigs remain stable.
The Vengeance LPX memory module is equipped with CL19-26-26-46 timing memory, and can be operated on a 1.5 volt voltage. In addition to being developed in conjunction with Asrock motherboard makers and equipped with Intel XMP 2.0 support, the memory is reportedly certified for use with Intel Core X-Series processors.
The Vengeance LPX device has also been equipped with a low profile aluminum heatsink that comes in various colors and is built using an eight layer PCB. As with all other Corsair Vengeance LPX RAMs in general, any purchase of this memory module will also be rewarded with a lifetime guarantee from Corsair. Although it will only be officially marketed on September 21, but for those who can not wait to have it reportedly can now order it through its official website, with an MSRP tag of $ 549.99. Hopefully this information is useful for you, thank you.

ATCE: Service Company Execs Call on Industry To Spend More
There is a growing consensus that while oil prices remain depressed, the supply glut is giving way to market balance. But if non-OPEC production continues to decline as it is, the new concern is that any equilibrium between supply and demand will be short-lived.
Paal Kibsgaard, chief executive officer of Schlumberger, said the industry has reached the bottom of the downturn cycle and must begin investing again in order to keep the pendulum from swinging too far the other way.
"There is no way you can maintain medium- and long-term supply capacity with half the investment—it just doesn't work," he said, adding that oil markets are facing a supply crunch within 2 years if the industry does not increase spending quickly.
Kibsgaard gave his remarks Monday morning on a panel session at the SPE Annual Technology Conference and Exhibition in Dubai where executives and technical experts have gathered to discuss the future of their industry.
As more money comes off the sidelines and into play, Kibsgaard emphasized that it needs to be spent more wisely than before. That will require service companies and operators to form tighter relationships when it comes to designing new technologies that will substantially lower finding and lifting costs.
Kibsgaard said greater collaboration must also involve moving away from the practice of developing individual technology components and "toward developing complete technology systems, including all aspects of hardware and software."
As examples, he cited Schlumberger's development of a new integrated land rig system and its recent acquisition of Cameron International, a deal aimed at marrying the two firms' surface and subsurface capabilities.
Also on the panel was Martin Craighead, chief executive officer of Baker Hughes, who echoed the need for increased spending, which he said "will allow the industry to maximize growth opportunities and become more resilient in the downturns of the future."
He highlighted several technologies that will benefit from a new wave of investments, ones that he said also will define the future of his company. Those technologies include 3D printing, material sciences, automation, and sensors.
He said of the latter, "Advances in sensors and networking are embedding intelligence into every piece of hardware, creating a new metasystem that is changing the way tools, as well as materials, interact with each other."
Craighead also discussed the importance of investing in new mindsets. He said in an effort to capture some of the inspiration that has driven the rapid growth of the US software sector, the company opened a technology center in Palo Alto, California, USA—aka Silicon Valley.
"You have a Baker Hughes office in Palo Alto and nobody knows what the heck that is, certainly none of the Google, Apple, or Yahoo people," he said. "But it was about embedding our folks out there in that culture to experiment fast, learn fast, and fail fast."
That willingness to fail and move on, he noted, is what made the US shale revolution possible and is now what the rest of the oil and gas industry needs to embrace if it is to become a more sustainable business.

Hello again everybody...
Welcome to a Wednesday!
Let me get this out of the way...
I'm not doing a whole column on Favre. I know I've talked about him in the past, and there's every possibility that I'll discuss him in the future.
But today, I'm just going to say this: we don't know anything more today than we knew 24 hours ago, or 48 hours ago, or 48 days ago for that matter.
Somebody told somebody something that may or may not be true.
The bottom line is that Favre's no closer or further away from returning today than he ever has been. We've seen this movie too many times before to believe anything else. When the Vikings begin the season against the Saints, and Favre is either in or out of a Vikings uniform, then we'll know for sure - and not before.
Until then, whatever happen is merely fodder to fill the 24/7 sports-talk cycle. And frankly, I'm not interested in perpetuating it.
I am however interested in checking in on how my MLB picks are doing!
If you're not, I suggest tuning back in on Friday, because that's all that's left in today's column...
Other than the quote.
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."
- George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Irish playwright
Get it? Got it? Good...
2010 Peek at the Picks, Vol. 3
Before each baseball season, I pick the final standings for each of the six divisions. Periodically throughout the year, I compare the current MLB standings to my picks. I've even sought the help of one of my mathematically-inclined friends to create the Kelley Formula to measure how well I'm doing.
So let's break down the divisions and see how I'm doing, shall we?!
AL East:
Current Standings: Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees -1, Boston Red Sox (whom I hate) -6.5, Toronto Blue Jays -11.5, Baltimore Orioles -34
Dan's Picks: New York, Boston (whom I hate), Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Toronto
Kelley Formula Results: 14 of a possible 20 points
Analysis: A four-point drop from the last time we checked in. Tampa has gotten hot (sadly, some of that has come at the expense of the Twins). The Yankees are still right there. And the Red Sox (whom I hate) are threatening to fall completely out of contention.
I'm not going to lie. I'll gladly accept a four-point hit to watch the Sox (whom I hate) falter. Does that make me a biased blogger? Perhaps. Somehow, I really don't seem to mind!
The Yankees seem to be distracted by A-Roid's pursuit of 600 home runs. How do I know this? Because they're all declaring that they're not distracted. When players have to take the time to proclaim to the media that something's not distracting them, then clearly it is. I don't expect that to last terribly long. Alex will hit his dinger. The Yankees will keep winning. And it should be a fun race between New York and Tampa for the AL East crown.
(Ed.'s Note: Earlier this afternoon, A-Roid hit #600. Prepare for the Yankees to take off again. Dammit.)
Baltimore has hired Buck Showalter as their new manager. At 34 games out of the division lead, and 22.5 games out of fourth place, I doubt that's going to make much of a difference this season. They've tried veteran skippers in Baltimore, they've tried young skippers. Nothing seems to work. Maybe Buck can figure something out. I'm just not going to be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
AL Central:
Current Standings: Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins -1.5, Detroit Tigers -7, Kansas City Royals -14.5, Cleveland Indians -15.5
Dan's Picks: Minnesota, Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, Cleveland
Kelley Formula Results: 18 of a possible 20 points
Analysis: The same score as last time around. Also far and away the best score I got in any division.
The Twins and the White Sox have been on hot-streaks. The Twins have won 8 of 10, the White Sox 7 of 10. The Twins have run smack-dab into one of the two best teams in baseball. Meanwhile the White Sox are playing the floundering Tigers. So far neither team has been able to seriously separate itself from the other.
All of which is going to make for one heck of a fun three-game series next week. Are you rubbing your hands in excited anticipation Twins fans? You should be!
After a red-hot start to the second half, Cleveland has cooled off to the tune of a 11-8 record since the All Star break. Apparently, they remembered they were Cleveland. And given the mini-Fire Sale they conducted at the trade deadline, I expect they'll keep heading in the wrong direction. Kansas City would like to send along their sincere thanks.
Speaking of the Royals... oh my are they lousy. I mean, I'm not shocked the Twins swept them in a recent three-game series. But I couldn't help but pity Kansas City baseball fans as I watched it happen. I can't fathom what it must be like to be a baseball fan in a town with a rich baseball history, and have to watch that dreck for 162 games per year. It's just sad. Really, truly sad.
AL West:
Current Standings: Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels -8, Oakland Athletics -8, Seattle Mariners -22.5
Dan's Picks: Los Angeles, Seattle, Texas, Oakland
Kelley Formula Results: 10 of a possible 16 points
Analysis: Holding steady here, if just barely. Texas has all but salted this thing away. I don't want to give up on LA just yet, but when you're closer to Oakland than Texas (in the standings, not geographically, of course), it's just not good.
Congratulations on picking up Cliff Lee, Rangers fans. I hope he doesn't wilt in the summer Texas heat! Actually, that's not even sarcasm. I feel a certain affinity for the Rangers since they spend each Spring in the Arizona town where my folks live. That might seem like a flimsy reason, but when you've seen a team play each Spring as much as I have the Rangers, you can't help but pull for them a bit.
Of course, by that rationale, I should pull for Kansas City a bit too since they share the same facility as Texas. Seriously... don't be ridiculous. The Royals suck! I can't root for them!
(Silly readers...)
NL East:
Current Standings: Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies -2, New York Mets -6.5, Florida Marlins -7, Washington Nationals -13
Dan's Picks: Philadelphia, Florida, Atlanta, New York, Washington
Kelley Formula Results: 14 of a possible 20 points
Analysis: Picked up two points here. The Phillies finally seemed to have developed a pulse. Although Ryan Howard had to go and get hurt just as it happened. Still, with the addition of Oswalt, and the potential of their offense, I have to believe the Phillies have more than a fair shot at overtaking Atlanta for the division title.
The Marlins have been a huge disappointment for me this season. How's that managerial change working for you Marlin brass? Meanwhile, Fredi Gonzalez is going to take over for Bobby Cox (a theory I've heard several times) in Atlanta next season and spend 19 games per season sticking it to you. Well played!
Fortunately for me, the Mets can't seem to get out of their own way, and may lose their way into picking me up a point or two yet! Thanks for sucking Metropolitans!
NL Central:
Current Standings: Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals -0.5, Milwaukee Brewers -10, Houston Astros -12, Chicago Cubs -13.5, Pittsburgh Pirates -22
Dan's Picks: St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Cincinnati, Houston, Pittsburgh
Kelley Formula Results: 16 of a possible 24 points
Analysis: Another four-point drop. I haven't actually done the final totals on this thing yet, but it's not looking good, is it?!
Count me amongst the floored to see the Reds hanging in there with the Cardinals. I would've thought that St. Louis would've put some distance between them and Cincy at this point. Not so much, however!
The Reds have scored more runs than any team in the National League, and their pitching has been just good enough to make them seriously dangerous. St. Louis just can't seem to get on a roll - which is actually a dangerous thing for Cincinnati. The Cardinals are far too talented to stay this inconsistent. If they get hot down the stretch (like I expect them too) they could still walk away with this thing yet.
As for the Brewers? I'm sorry to say it Milwaukee fans, but it's time to focus on 2011. My first bit of advice? Fire Ken Macha. Fire him now. Just do it. I don't care if you don't have a replacement in mind. Give him a pink slip, thank him for his service, and wish him well in his future endeavors. You'll be better for it. Trust me. And that $13 million per year extension you just signed Corey Hart to? Find a legal loophole and tear that sucker up pronto!
Just my two cents!
That brings us to the Cubs. Carlos Zambrano is back on the big league roster, Carlos Silva is on the disabled list with an irregular heartbeat, and Lou Pinella's "farewell tour" has turned into a funeral march. Welcome back to irrelevance Chicago! You may pick up your billy goat at the door!
NL West:
Current Standings: San Diego Padres, San Francisco -1, Colorado -7.5, Los Angeles Dodgers -8, Arizona Diamondbacks -23
Dan's Picks: Colorado, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Arizona, San Diego
Kelley Formula Results: 10 of a possible 20 points
Analysis: Only a two-point drop this time! Oof...
I take it back. Florida hasn't been the most disappointing club for me this year, Colorado has. I figured there'd be a new champ out West this year, I just had no idea it would be the Padres.
As inconsistent as the Cards have been, Colorado has matched them stumble-for-stumble. How can you have an ace who's 16-2 and be 7.5 games out?! At least when Kansas City had a Cy Young winner on an extraordinarily mediocre team, he only had 15 wins! Apparently Rockies ownership doesn't have much more faith in them than I do at this point, since they were conspicuously quiet at the trade deadline.
I still have no idea how San Diego is pulling this off. I know they have better-than-advertised young pitching. I know that as a result they have a better run-differential (+95) than any other team in the National League. Still, it seems like they should be stumbling at any moment, only they're not.
That being said, San Francisco's right on their heels. I'm shocked that the Giants weren't able to add a bat at the trade deadline. There's still a chance they find something off the waiver-wire (Adam Dunn, anyone?) I suppose. Either way, they're still right there with the Padres. And you can bet that the rest of the NL is praying that the Pads find a way to hold them off. Would you want to face a club that can throw Lincecum, Cain and Zito at you in a 5-game series? Or hell, even in a 7-game series?! I sure wouldn't.
Combined Kelley Formula Results: 82 of a possible 120 points (68.3%)
2009 Kelley Formula Results: 87 of a possible 120 points (72.5%)
Analysis: An 8-point drop in just over a month... yikes.
Last month I had three division winners correct. This month? None. Not a one. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
But as I pointed out last time around, it's just a snap-shot. Things can - and obviously have - change quickly. Just because July didn't go my way, doesn't mean August can't be to my benefit!
What? Me? An optimist?! Take that George Bernard Shaw! (That's how you bring a column full-circle boys and girls!)
That's going to wrap things up for today. I'm back on Friday with some Updating to do!
Until then, thanks for reading!

What to do and who to contact
Knowing what to do in an emergency can save lives. Whether you're at home or out and about, there are some essential things to do if you suspect a gas leak.
If you're at home and think you can smell gas, the first thing to do is leave your house and contact the National Gas Emergency Line on 0800 111 999
If you're at home and can do it safely, you can try to turn off the gas supply. The gas mains tap should be beside your gas meter.Move the handle a quarter turn until it's 90 degrees from the pipe to shut off the gas supply.
What are the symptoms?
Your nose is your personal gas alarm. Domestic gas doesn't actually have a smell, energy providers add it to the supply to enable you to sniff a gas leak out straight away. So always be aware of the smell of gas.
Got a blocked nose? Lost your sense of smell? You'll still be able to tell if there's a gas leak in your home by the following possible symptoms:
If you're suffering from these symptoms and suspect a leak, you should go outside immediately. If you feel better in fresh air, you could be suffering from the effects of a gas leak.
These are also some of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Feeling Light-headed
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Irregular Breathing
If you smell gas, DO:
- Open doors and windows to allow fresh air in.
- Turn off the gas at the mains tap, which is usually near the meter. Move the handle a quarter turn until it's at 90 degrees from the pipe to shut off the gas supply.
- Leave the property.
- Phone the National Gas Emergencies number on 0800 111 999. Only use a mobile phone from outside the property. The number is free and available 24 hours a day.
- Follow the advice given by the emergency adviser.
- Wait outside for a gas engineer to arrive.
- If you are feeling unwell, visit your GP or hospital immediately. Tell them you may have been exposed to a gas leak or carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you smell gas, DON'T:
- Smoke, light a match or use any other naked flame.
- Turn any electrical switches on or off.
- Use doorbells, mobile phones or any other electrical switches which could cause a spark.

A 3 to 4 hour drive from Beijing gets to Nanpu (南堡), Hebei region- a vast area with mudflats, sea and some fields allowing birds of all shapes and sizes muster in this area for a rest before moving on.
We pedalled to the metal to get to the ponds and sea wall in early dawn hoping to see as much as we can and we're not disappointed! Waders were all close- sharp-tailed sandpipers, plovers, relict gulls, black-tailed gulls, little terns, whimbrels, sandpipers, stints, etc., just to name a few! Bird photographers will be pleased with the proximity of birds. 🙂
It was brilliant to see so many waders but even more exciting to see a lifer- Reed Parrotbill! They were not hard to see as they come in small flocks and they are residents there!
We looked into every pond and corner possible and arrived on an off-trail, close to the sea. The wind picked up and clouds gathered into odd shapes but we thought nothing of it; mesmerised by the sudden fallout from the sky! Just along this path, we saw- wryneck, brown shrikes, bluethroats, yellow-browed buntings! As we drove along, birds seemed reluctant to fly elsewhere, but to move further up the trail. It was an odd behaviour and very soon we knew why!
As we nimble along the trail- sea is on the right and ponds on the left…we were hit by a hailstones! With no trees anywhere in sight, our car took shelter next to a small shrub. The 30 minute hailstone fallout felt like forever! I was worried if the windscreens would crack or the car would be blown into the pond or sea, as the car shook vigorously during the storm. Here's the video.
It was 4pm but it felt like late evening. We had no idea where we were and to add to the drama, we were low on fuel.. When winds died down a little we drove through the flooded trail with caution. With our car headlights on, we could see waders took shelter on this trail too. We came to a dead end and decided to U-turn and take the route where we came in! By then it was raining cats and dogs, also raining down plovers, stints, curlews, on to the trail!
By the time we arrived back at the start of the trail, the rain had stopped and out came the sun! With much delight, we not only saw a Japanese Quail, but also a double rainbow- how cool is that? 🙂 Every cloud has a silver lining. With houses in sight, I know I am back to civilisation.

Hot Event: Worldwide Instameet 13, Zambales
I have been invited by Grammer PH to capture memories for their most recent #WWIM13 (Worldwide Instameet 13), an overnight Instagram led community event which was held in San Narciso, Zambales at Crystal Beach Resort. Its around 4-5 hours away from Bonifacio Global City, Taguig via private vehicle on a day with normal vehicular traffic. Check out the map below.
This is the second consecutive year Grammer PH have organized a Worldwide Instameet, where last year it was held at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

Society is increasingly visually and digitally literate. Studying the arts prepares students to understand and participate fully in this world. Southbank has a challenging visual art, music and drama programme that is implemented through a variety of classroom and specialist instructors.
Through the arts, students can develop a sense of self, engaging in a creative cycle of experimentation, action and reflection. They will be stimulated to think and articulate their thoughts in new ways and through a variety of media and technologies. Collaboration between specialist and classroom teachers is central to the implementation of the arts in the Primary Years Programme.
In the Middle Years Programme, teaching of the Arts becomes more individualised and comprehensive. In Grades 6-8, students study one trimester each of Drama, Visual Arts and Music. In Grades 9 and 10, students may choose a specialised arts course.
During the two year Diploma Programme, a series of standard and higher level creative arts programmes that are as competitive as they are engaging. This includes Film Studies, Theatre Arts, Visual Arts and Music.
As learning in the Arts is largely experiential, the Westminster Arts faculty runs a large number of field trips each year, along with a sparkling range of extra-curricular activities, such as Drama club, Textile club, Concert Band, String Orchestra, Percussion Ensemble, Choirs and specialised chamber music groups. In recent years we have produced several full-scale musicals, such as Little Shop of Horrors, Grease and The Wizard of Oz.
Visual Art students have the opportunity to function as artists themselves, as well as learning about the important artworks and techniques. They learn to be curious and analytical, and through the development of these skills they learn about themselves, others and the world. They become creative problem-solvers and adept at critiquing the work of others. Students develop their artistic abilities through creating art in ways that engage and convey feelings, experiences and ideas. Students acquire and develop new skills in drawing, painting, sculpting, photography and printmaking.
The Visual Arts DP course gives students the freedom to explore and experiment with a variety of methods and art forms to represent and develop ideas for a final art show, which is held at a professional gallery. Alongside their own pieces of art, students build on the MYP and examine and analyse techniques and contexts of great artworks. This analysis helps them to write their own curatorial rationale for their own works in the final exhibition. Visual Art graduates go into careers in the arts, product/design, architecture, advertising and multimedia design.
MYP Drama develops the creative skills needed to work towards performing a visually and aurally stimulating piece of drama work. Exploring ideas through a range of techniques such as improvisation, mime, slow motion, thoughts aloud, and breaking the fourth wall, students work independently and collaboratively to rehearse, refine and challenge themselves artistically. Engaging with music, art, lighting and sound effects further enhances performance work. Students are encouraged to be autonomous, free-thinking and open-minded. DP Theatre deepens students' exploration and performance skills as actors, directors and designers, alongside a rigorous, exciting exploration, analysis and enjoyment of Theatre from a wide range of styles, practitioners and theatre companies. Having access to the best theatre performances and workshops available, students are offered a myriad of opportunities to practically enhance their learning. Theatre graduates are highly sought after, as they can demonstrate the ability to be flexible, be excellent problem solvers with lateral and quick thinking skills, empathetic communicators, courageous risk takers and to work to strict deadlines as part of a tight-knit ensemble.
The Film course at DP enables students to fully engage with the practical, theoretical and conceptual aspects of filmmaking. To open their eyes to what is possible, they discuss and analyse a range of film texts, from Francois Truffaut to Stanley Kubrick, from Wong Kar Wai to Abbas Kiarostami. Students learn how to tell a story visually, write a script and plan a production schedule, use a lighting kit and sound recording equipment, and how to edit and create the final cut. This is a subject that relies on collaboration, and students will learn to work as a team and hone their technique while developing their interpersonal and other life skills, that will assist in a wide range of career options.
From Kindergarten, our distinctive Suzuki programme enhances the music curriculum, introducing children to their first violin or cello. Children make fast progress and all children from Kindergarten upwards take part in our joint primary annual summer concert – over 350 children playing together in the historic setting of the Central Westminster Hall!
Once children have reached a level of proficiency there are opportunities to play in ensembles or Suzuki Strings. From Grade 4, guitar, trumpet and flute are also available. All children take part in our termly solo concerts for parents and peers.
MYP music classes focus on the creative and technical skills needed to produce a new piece of musical artwork. Each topic asks students to compose, perform and reflect, gives exposure to music from different times and places, and often gives opportunities to engage with music technology. A range of exciting field trips to concerts and workshops utilises London as one of the musical capitals of the world. DP music offers students the chance to deepen their performance and/or composition skills, alongside exploration, enjoyment and analysis of music from every corner of the globe, from the ancient world through to the most recent developments in popular modern music. Music graduates are highly sought after, as they can demonstrate the ability to work as a team, to be quick-thinking, creative, flexible, risk takers, to research, write and analyse, to work to strict deadlines and to engage with audio/multimedia in a range of formats.
Westminster also offers a wide variety of private music lessons, provided as an additional chargeable option. We currently give lessons in flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, drum kit, violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano, theory and voice.

During the early months of new Super Sentai show, I grab what I can in terms of character figures as soon as I can. The 2012 Super Sentai Series Go-Busters have some of the best suit designs I've ever seen and really wanted to start littering my toy collection with Go-Buster figures. Here's the 1st series of Bandai Gashapon Go-Buster figures. Average height is about 3.25 inches. Nicely sculpted and paint apps are descent. Arms, waist, and head can rotate 360 so you can do a bit of posing with them.
Optional support pieces are included for keeping the figures standing.
Go-Buster Ace looks pretty cool.
I got these as a set off eBay for about $18. There pretty cool and nice computer desk pieces. 4 of 5 rating on these.

collage with ink and papers from the NY Stock Exchange
This collage is in response to a very nice letter I received from a gentleman named Malcolm Turner. I was more than happy to participate on this project and thrilled that my work inspired someone else. "Global Recession" is the theme. Be sure to check out Malcolm's fantastic work on his blog, Studio Journal or on Flickr.
Dear Angelica
I am currently completing an MA in Graphic Arts at the University of the West of England. Your work has been inspirational to me during my studies and has enabled me to focus the direction of my research. Additionally I have referred to your work for my evaluative thesis in identifying contemporary practitioners who have influenced my own practice.
I am a graphic designer, illustrator and musician based in Bristol, UK and My career history has included studio based consultancy, freelance illustration, graphic design and lecturing on Degree level programmes in graphic design. My own work with illustration and print investigates the medium of collage and has a focus on the visual aesthetic achieved with the use of aged, period/trend based ephemera. I am particularly concerned with the question of space and the balance and juxtaposition of elements on the page. My most recent work explores the paradox of digital intervention in the image/illustration building process and the referencing of influences from a pre-digital era.
I would like to invite you to contribute to my end of year show by making a response to the attached flyer. The response could be as simple as a few written words, a piece of ephemera, or a piece of work. Either way, a response will allow me to acknowledge your influence on my work at my show. The attached flyer will, I hope make sense.
Thank you in advance for any response and also for the inspiration you have given me.
Great work.
With best wishesMalcolm Turner

Both companies have launched similar service in Mumbai, and are working together aggressively to rollout Wi-Fi at Allahabad, Patna, Jaipur and Ranchi railway stations.
Designed to offer users the best Internet experience, Railwire Wi-Fi will be available to any user who has a working mobile connection on a smartphone, the public sector company said in a statement.
The service will allow users to easily stream a high definition video and download content for offline viewing while boarding train.
Google, as a part of commitment to rollout Internet services at 400 railway stations, is working with Indian Railways' and RailTel to expand the network to cover 100 of them by end of this year.
"Our intent was to fulfill Indian Railway's vision of providing Railway passengers access to high speed Internet through our Optical fiber communication network," Chairman and Managing Director of Railtel Shri RK. Bahuguna.
Affordable smartphones, he said have made it possible for the common men to experience the power of Internet. "With partnership with Google, we are confident of rolling out a robust, scalable service at Railway stations in the near future."
"Bringing affordable Internet access to millions of people is an important part of making the Internet both easily accessible and useful for more than 300 million Indians who are already online, and the nearly one billion more who are not. By end of this year over 10 million people will be able to enjoy this experience at 100 stations spread across the country," Rajan Anandan, VP & Managing Director, Google South East Asia and India said.
The next four stations, we'll bring online will be Allahabad, Patna, Jaipur and Ranchi and others will follow very shortly," Gulzar Azad, Head of Access Project at Google India informed.

Grandson in NYC Hires Patient Advocate in Florida to Help Elderly Grandmother
July 19, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Great job!
A Patient Advocate recommends a course of action and lets the patient make all the decisions. Your RN's observations made a big difference in the quality of the patient's life. The subtle changes in hearing, vision and foot conditions are frequently missed during the rushed environment of most doctor office appointments. The patient, the local family and the distant grandchildren benefited from your services.
Thank you for sharing your interesting story.
August 23, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Hi Again great job!
As a nurse myself I have found that the older adult thinks they hear just fine and they do not realize until too late that hearing loss is impacting their life. Just keeping hearing, eyesight,teeth and feet as maintained as possible they retain their independence longer. Even in long term care facilities if there was more time and effort given to these four areas they could eat better and stay well, be able to be more mobile and interact with their environment better with hearing and sight.
Thank you for bringing what seems like should be common sense to everyones attention.
November 16, 2011 at 1:34 pm

Hi guys, kinda bothers me how pricey rc tires are, but I was browsing the traxxas forums and found out about the proline LP wheels and tires. Replaceable 12 or 17mm hexes, and lower profile. I primarily run on pavement, gravel, dirt and short grass...
I'm not sure if they're too heavy for the rustler vxl either.
I don't know about the LP tires, but I ran the "normal" 2.8 trenchers on my old Rustler Vxl . They performed great, but they are a bit heavier than stock. I would use a smaller piñon with them for sure.
I tried a set of the Proline 2.8 belted trenchers on my Bandit the other day for some fun!! Haha what a kick, 1/8 throttle wheelies! pretty funny really.
Otherwise in all seriousness, I have a set of 2.2 Trenchers on RPM Revolver wheels that work great on my Bandit with 2.2 Dirt Hawgs out front. Not sure about the LP 2.8 Trenchers though, Ive been wanting to get a set for another ride. Size looks to be pretty close to the same for the 2.2 Trencher T and the 2.8 Trencher LP with the LP being slightly taller and wider per Prolines specs.

5 November (Part 1) - The charade that is Councillors' questions
Before Mayor Eileen Pallen
lost the plot at approximately one third of the way through last Wednesday's
Council Meeting, events were for the most part fairly mundane. It was question time for
Councillors. Nothing from the public because none had been asked that Bexley Council was prepared to answer.
Questions from Conservative Councillors are too often nothing but an excuse for Cabinet Member grandstanding and the first was not an exception.
It came from Social Media Queen Sharon Massey who asked the Cabinet Member for Education to welcome expansion of grammar schools in Bexley.
Deputy Leader Rob Leitch said he strongly welcomed anything that would diversify education.
Councillor Massey came back to admit that she was a governor of a local grammar school and to brag that her daughter was deputy head girl. She gave the Cabinet Member another opportunity to push the case for grammar schools with another loaded question. "What sort of children do you think would benefit from expansion of grammar schools?" During his 50 second, beautifully delivered and presumably pre-prepared response, Rob Leitch didn't actually answer the question.
Councillor Mabel Ogundayo (Labour, Thamesmead East) asked if Cabinet Member Leitch would like to see the expansion of good state schools. Councillor Leitch said "absolutely. The borough has outstanding grammar and outstanding comprehensive schools. Choice and competition is a good thing".
Councillor Melvin Seymour (Conservative, Northumberland Heath) asked about progress towards a new river crossing in Belvedere.
Cabinet Member Alex Sawyer said the London Mayor had set out plans for new crossings. "A DLR extension to Thamesmead town centre which is across the border in Greenwich is being considered but the Belvedere crossing has been kicked into the long grass. The Council will carry on fighting."
Councillor Seymour asked if Alex Sawyer thought that the new Mayor "had let Bexley down". Councillor Sawyer said that Mayor Sadiq Khan "has let everybody down. It is our residents who will suffer the most". He did not think a DLR extension, "though welcome would benefit this borough as much as road crossings. The Mayor seems to think that London ends at the boundary of the People's Republic of Greenwich. It remains to be seen if the Mayor is a Mayor for all of London or just his socialist comrades".
For what it is worth, this alleged Labour supporter, falsely accused by Bexley Conservatives of hurling abuse from the public gallery during this Council meeting, agrees with every word Alex Sawyer uttered. I am ready to say that I believe Sadiq Khan, after less than six months in office, is proving to be a disaster for London. And still the Bexley liars would like you to believe BiB is a Labour sponsored blog!
Councillor Stefano Borella (Labour, North End) displayed the taxpayer funded anti-crossing propaganda sent to every Bexley resident three years ago which demonstrates even more clearly now than it did in January 2013, that Bexley Conservatives made grave errors of judgment on the subject.
Cabinet Member Sawyer repeated the old excuse that the 'old' bridge was in the wrong place despite one of the two crossings he recently encouraged being proposed for the same location and he instead spoke of some of the inadequacies of the proposed DLR extension.
"It once again isolates Thamesmead and the journey times do not make sense. Gallions Reach to Canary Wharf is 22 minutes" and obviously longer from Thamesmead. From Abbey Wood it will be eleven minutes.
Councillor Joe Ferreira (Labour, Erith) asked Cabinet Member Peter Craske about the 50% increase in fly tipping and why there was an underspend of £221,000 on street cleaning when the roads are filthy.
Councillor Craske said he would be spending the money on more cleaning.
Councillor Ferreira reminded the Cabinet Member that a recent survey revealed that a majority of residents felt the Council was very poor at street cleaning. Councillor Craske acknowledged the need to do better.
Councillor John Davey (Conservative, Crayford) made an apparently innocent enough comment - though you can never be absolutely sure of what is staged - about the need to make further investment in cleaning which gave Councillor Craske the opportunity to say that the Labour group had voted against his Don't be a Tosser initiative.
I have no recollection of that but the usual trick is to bundle the acceptable into a single package with the not so acceptable to force Labour into a reluctant No vote.
335 fines had been issued including 13 for spitting.
Councillor Craske went on to say that on fly tipping, he looks for evidence and then prosecutes. My neighbour and I are still waiting for any response to the video and photographic evidence delivered to the Council offices four weeks ago.
Councillor Derry Begho (Labour, Thamesmead East) asked how many fly tipping prosecutions there had been. "Four fined in court with two cases pending in the last few months."
Councillor Chris Beazley (UKIP, St. Michael's) put his question to Cabinet Member Craske. He wanted to know if racist crime in Bexley was increasing. At the previous Council meeting Peter Craske reported that it had not increased in the month since Brexit.
Fortunately Councillor Craske said the same thing again. There was no evidence of an increase since the referendum. There were actually more racist crimes in Bexley in the month before the Brexit vote than there were in the following month.
Councillor James Hunt (Conservative, East Wickham) introduced an entirely new subject and referred to a Parliamentary committee which alleged that the Labour party was "a safe place for anti-Semitism". Labour Councillors Stefano Borella and Daniel Francis both drew the Mayor's attention to the Constitution (Rule 20.4) which does not allow questions of a non-local nature. It was at this point that the Mayor first demonstrated that she is the worst since Val Clark who is her Deputy.
She said she saw no need to abide by the Constitution, she wanted to hear what Councillor Hunt had to say and that was her ruling whatever the Constitution might say.
After Councillor Hunt had finished his attempt to besmirch the opposition Councillor Craske tried to pull the question back to a local one. There had been no anti-Semitic crime in Bexley during the past year. The fact that he had that obscure statistic to hand strongly suggests that James Hunt's question was pre-arranged. The statistic was accompanied by some clapping. The webcast does not reveal who was responsible for it but my recorder suggests it was someone very close to me. My money is on Michael Barnbrook.
Cabinet Member Read was asked what the latest percentage was for permanent staff within Children's Services. He said it was 77% in August and now 84%. Philip Read is obviously a far more successful Cabinet Member than his predecessor Katie Perrior who has gone away to work in Downing Street for Theresa May. What a disaster she was.
Philip Read's response was not without a jibe or two at the opposition party but was otherwise informative. The academy for new social workers, the combatting of tax avoidance schemes and taking the lead role with a London wide cooperation scheme are all going well.
For the record it was a this point that I was left alone in the Public Gallery and the possibility of there being Labour supporters shouting abuse later, as published on the Conservative's website, evaporated.
Councillor Nick O'Hare asked Councillor Craske to crow over the success of community libraries and denigrate the opposition. He was happy to oblige. He confirmed that the joint venture with Bromley Council has failed.
The Mayor finished the session on time which meant we missed some absolute gems of questions like, for example, Councillor John Wilkinsons' which asked Peter Craske what he was doing to tackle the litter problem. Is he really the only person in the borough who has not seen the Tosser posters and the Council's constant stream of Tweets about the number of penalty notices issued?
As the Agenda moved on to the next Item the Mayor announced that it must be kept within its allotted 30 minutes, an instruction that she instantly forgot.
