How to catch a swarm of bees is maybe not something you wonder about. But, when you see a swarm, and know the potential they have, it is a shame to let them go! You could add to your collection of backyard bees! The bee cluster that you see in the photo above was one we found swarming. This is not the first hive that we have had swarming in or around the vineyard. Back in 2010, before we had … [Read more...] about How to Catch a Swarm of Bees
Decks the Jersey Bull is Almost 3 Months Old!
It is hard to believe that Decks our Jersey bull calf is almost 3 months old! He was born before Christmas and is named after the Christmas carol, "Deck the Halls". After leaving him with Beatrice for a couple of days to nurse, we separated them. Decks is now in a pen beside the chickens and ducks. The little Jersey bull will be moved out with the big cows as soon as he grows a bit taller. We use … [Read more...] about Decks the Jersey Bull is Almost 3 Months Old!
Fresh Milk is Coming – Meet Our New Calf!
I would like to introduce you to "Decks" our new calf! No, we did not first see him from our deck! His name is in keeping with the holiday song, "Deck the Halls". We knew that his mother, Beatrice, was soon to delivery and have been watching her closely for a week or so. Concerned and with ulterior motives - we are ready for fresh milk! If you are wondering how to tell if a cow is ready to calve, … [Read more...] about Fresh Milk is Coming – Meet Our New Calf!
Cows Love Watermelon and Pumpkin!
Did you know that cows love watermelon and pumpkin? Ours sure do! And, we love FREE food for them! It is rare that we have a watermelon from the garden go bad. In fact, I'm not sure we have ever had one rot! Once we have eaten the red, the cows get the rind and love it. But, boy, do they love the red! Not too far away from us is a watermelon and pumpkin packing plant owned by a local farmer. He … [Read more...] about Cows Love Watermelon and Pumpkin!
Maybelle, the New Calf is Born!
After days of watching and waiting, it is finally over! Our new calf has arrived! Margie, our family milk cow calved on Thursday night.

Margie took her own sweet time but what a relief to wake up Friday morning and see the adorable little calf following her in the … [Read more...] about Maybelle, the New Calf is Born!
Ducks for the Farm
What's not to love about ducks and ducklings? The ducklings are so cute with their wide little beaks, their squeaky voices and of course, their little waddle! I have wanted ducks for quite awhile because they are so cute! I think my fascination with ducks was fed when I read the book by Eliot Coleman, Four Season Gardening, which really inspired me to plant a winter garden in the greenhouse.

Windows ASLR: Investing in your secure software development lifecycle
Implementing Windows ASLR can be a worthwhile investment in your enterprise's secure software development lifecycle.
In a recent Microsoft report, Microsoft said only about one of every three commonly used Windows applications uses ASLR. Why don't a larger number of application developers use it? Is it harder to use than Microsoft says it is? For enterprises that develop their own Windows apps, is it practical for us to encourage our developers to use ASLR?
Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle Progress Report echoes the findings of an earlier report by Secunia ApS, which also found a low implementation rate of Windows ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) amongst popular software applications. ASLR was introduced in Windows Vista and combats attacks by loading program modules into a different, random area of memory each time, but it only works for applications that explicitly enable it when they are compiled.
There are a few reasons behind its slow adoption. I think some developers are reluctant to change the way they build programs and may not even be aware of the new security technologies that Microsoft has been introducing.
Also, having to re-engineer existing software to incorporate new mitigation technologies is costly. Changing settings can break an application or change its behavior, so plenty of testing is required. But putting time and money ahead of security is a false economy. Practicing secure coding does require upfront investment, but based on a 2010 report from Aberdeen Group, the average cost required to mitigate and fix a security vulnerability is $300,000. That pays for a lot of investment in a secure development software lifecycle.
A different issue is ASLR support wasn't built into Windows XP, which is still the dominant Windows platform. Data Execution Prevention (DEP), on the other hand, was introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and was enabled in 71% of the applications Microsoft studied. While DEP is easier to implement, implementing ASLR is not difficult; Visual Studio 2010 enables ASLR by default. The technology is well documented and there are several Microsoft resources online that provide step-by-step instructions on how to incorporate it into an application.
Microsoft's SDL initiative for creating a systematic approach to secure software development has made Windows more secure. This is one reason why we're seeing more attacks against other applications rather than Windows itself. ASLR is an important security feature enterprises should incorporate into their applications. Even though it may be something new for developers to learn, it's not difficult, and applications will be a lot more secure as a result. Software vendors who don't support ASLR and other security initiatives in their applications are likely to be heavily targeted if they are adopted by their competitors.
If you are concerned applications running on your Windows XP machines are vulnerable to ASLR-based attacks, consider using Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit 2.0 (EMET), which can retroactively apply various security mitigation technologies, including Mandatory Address Space Layout Randomization (Mandatory ASLR) to selected applications. Mandatory ASLR can force the operating system to load a dynamic link library written before ASLR was available to a random location regardless of the flags it was compiled with. Another advantage of using EMET is that you don't need to recompile your own in-house software to set the various flags to enable DEP and ASLR.

Submitting your tax reports is very important for every employee and business owner. Stringent tax laws require that this be done in a timely manner every year lest fines and probable prosecution are initiated by the taxing authorities. Come tax season, many business owners opt to have tax accountants handle their books for them. Read on to see why:
Preparing taxes is not easy
When it comes to preparing tax reports, many business owners rack their heads and wonder where to start from. The process is slow, requires utmost attention to detail and involves the examination of numerous documents showing records over the past year. As a result, preparing your tax returns is never easy. The larger the business entity, the more difficult it is to prepare the tax returns reports. This is why many choose to have a tax accountant or a tax accounting firm handle the work. That way, they can concentrate on running the business and other matters. For those with little accounting knowledge, getting a tax accountant during this period is crucial to avoid mistakes.
A tax accountant can vet your accounts to avoid errors and maximise on tax refunds
Large businesses tend to have departments dedicated to accounts and management of records. However, even with the necessary capabilities to prepare their tax returns, they often involve tax accountants to help with the process. The reason they do this is because an outside evaluation of their records can help proof their records even better. This helps weed out errors and identify all the expenses that come with tax refunds.
Verifying your tax return submissions during a tax inquiry
From time to time, the tax authority can seek to take a closer examination of your tax returns. This can be necessitated by incorrect or inconsistent data submission or it can be a random assessment. Either way, if your tax returns are being looked into by the tax authority, it helps to have a tax accountant go over your records and verify your filings. This will help you clarify any unclear data as well as redeem your case should there be any investigations underway.
A tax accountant can prove invaluable should you need to understand the framework required for making tax returns. This is ideal if you're setting up a business, moving from one entity to another, e.g. from partnership to a limited liability company, or when you are seeking to move your company from another country to Australia. Doing so will help avoid any legal conflict with the authorities. For more information, contact a specialist like Boyd & Associates.

From the Publisher
During the seventies, David Tangye and Graham Wright were part of the Black Sabbath crew—and they have the stories to prove it. As the group grew in fame and notoriety, touring Europe and America, incidents of bad behavior mounted alarmingly. Whether it's Geezer's lyrical journeys into the underworld or the gun-obsessed Ozzy Osbourne at home in Atrocity Cottage, this is Sabbath as you've never known them before. A real-life Spinal Tap, this is a warm, funny tribute to four mates from Birmingham who became the biggest heavy rock band in the world. Graham Wright was assistant to drummer Bill Ward. David Tangye was Ozzy Osbourne's assistant during his Black Sabbath days as well as during his solo career.
About the Author
Dave Tangye was Ozzy's assistant throughout the seventies, and Graham Wright was assistant to drummer Bill Ward.
Customer Reviews
Awesome book on the early Ozzy Sabbath years (and more)
This is an absolutely wonderful book written by David Tangye & Graham Wright. There's been plenty of books on Black Sabbath before. Some good. Some not so good. This one falls in the category of being EXTREMELY GOOD. The difference between this book and the others on the Ozzy history of the band is the fact that this one was written by folks who were there. A lot of these things are written by people who retell stories, regurgitating things that are already out there. Not this one. David was Ozzy's personal assistant, and Graham was Bill Ward's assistant. So these stories are told from folks who lived them. There are some other stories by other folks who were involved with Sabbath directly as well.
This book goes into some areas of the band's history that have never been talked much about before. Specifically the days when they were known as Polka Tulk, as well as Earth. There's tons of stories about life on the road, the legendary "Satanist attacks Tony Iommi on stage with a knife" story, to one their hotel room doors being painted with a bloody red Cross, to the story about the band blowing out the candles of a group of Satanists in the hallway by singing "Happy Birthday" to 'em. There's other things, like Ozzy's first wife Thelma, and the kids Oz had with her. That's something that's almost never talked about. Graham tells stories about Bill's drive over the Australian Outback in 1974 for about 500 miles to avoid flying. And a few about how some vehicles ended up in swimming pools.
What's best about this book to me is that it's an easy free flowing style. I've read many books, and some are hard reads, but this was one that I could quite easily have read in one sitting, had I had that much time available when I read it. David & Graham are to be applauded for their work on the book, both in content and in style.
The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it's not the easiest book to get in the US. There's no direct US publisher that I'm aware of, and as such, it can be a bit expensive to get it here in the States. In fact, if you're in the US, it might be cheaper to buy it from the Amazon UK site. That issue aside, I feel it's well worth it due to the quality of the stories and the writing in the book. You can't go wrong reading this if you're a fan of Black Sabbath.

How Black Was Our Sabbath: An Unauthorized View From The Cre
This is quite a fascinating book about Black Sabbath written from the insider view of two roadies.
Actually these two authors were more then just roadies for Black Sabbath, which is one reason
they are so knowledgeable on the subject.
This book is well written, enjoyable to read and I have to say I didn't find any mistakes.
The book covers Black Sabbath from the pre Sabbath days to shortly after Ozzy's leaving.
A much clearer picture of Black Sabbath is shown through this book, then most previous efforts.
This book also includes an additional 28 pages of photographs not counted throughout the book.
I generally say get every book about Sabbath you can but this one is at the top of the list.
If you are a fan of Black Sabbath or if you just like a good read then you must get this book.
How Excellent Was This Book
Fantastic view of the band as real people from the very beginnings before even the Polka Tulk Blues Band until the fateful year Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath went their separate ways. Anecdotes abound! Some hilarious and some just plain strange. Another positive thing is the roadies that wrote it were straight forward and upfront about their role. They didn't try to overgrandize or endulge their egos at all. The facts are written as they are. And done quite nicely. A real blast from the past.
This book will give you a new appreciation for up and coming musicians to with the touring/recording stories from Earth/Black Sabbath's earliest days.
No matter how die hard you are there are things in this extremely well-written book you do not know.
5 stars only because there aren't 10.

Most Blessed Sacrament is a dynamic parish full of opportunities to better develop our relationship with Jesus and with others. One of the ways we as a parish, and as individuals, can continue that development is through our parish ministries.
"The Gospel is an invitation to and a blueprint for complete joy." – Matthew Kelly
Engaging with Jesus through the Mass, prayer and adoration are keys to building our relationship with Jesus. In addition, sharing the talents God has given us with others further develops our personal relationships.
"You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart." – Jeremiah 29:13
Growing in faith requires a conscious choice to pursue a relationship with Jesus. Passivity in relationships leads to a breakdown in communication, understanding and love. Just as we need to foster and grow our relationships with family and friends, so too do we need to pursue Jesus's friendship through talking to Him and educating ourselves about Him.
"The first duty of charity is to try and enter into the mind and feelings of others." – Blessed John Henry Newman
Performing Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy are an important part of daily life. True works of mercy, done in the name of Christ, help alleviate human suffering and bring people closer to Christ and His ultimate mercy.
"No good work is done anywhere without aid from the Father of lights." – C.S. Lewis
Providing support to all of our parish ministries is a unique ministry of its own. Helping parishioners build their relationship with Jesus, grow in faith and help others creates a joy-filled atmosphere where love for Christ and love for others can thrive.

Where do you draw the line between possible and impossible?
Growing up we are told what we cannot do. You're not tall enough to be a dancer, you're too short to be on the basketball team, and so on. We are told "no" over and over again.
But as adults who is really saying "No"?
You may realize it is you, your fears and your self-imposed limitations. You're the one saying you cannot. Physically challenging yourself is a way to say "yes I can." "Yes," to pushing yourself beyond what you think achievable, whether you're dreaming of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, running a 5K, or doing 10 good pull-ups. Sounds a bit cheesy, but it really doesn't matter what it is you choose, it just matters that you try.
At the end of April, I attempted L'Etape du California, the Queen stage of the professional cycling Tour of California. The ride is about 100 miles with 10,000 feet of climbing. Any good cyclist would call it nothing less than a very big day.
To better paint the picture, the race begins at 7:00 am with 16 mile climb, with 3,400 feet of elevation gain, and gradient of 9.5-15 percent. This was only the beginning of my excruciating battle. I faired well through the morning but by 12:00 pm I was on the back side of the mountain in the full sun, heat, elevation, and beginning to really suffer. I reached the final climb by 3:30 pm and my riding partner hurt his back. We were only 3 miles of switch backs at 20 percent gradient away from our finish line but we called it quits.
At first I felt terrible about not finishing the race. I was completely focused on what I did not do.
Then I tallied the numbers for what I actually did do:
I rode a bike for over eight hours;
I rode 98 miles and climbed 9,800 feet;
Rode further than I've ever ridden;
Climbed more than I've ever climbed;
Was one of less than 60 women who attempted the ride (out of 1000 total riders);
Trained as much as I could with the time I had;
And I gave it everything I had that day.
And by any measure these are epic accomplishments.
It's not about the end result but about the continuous effort over time, gradual changes, mini-wins, and daily "yes's".
What a noble way to honor yourself: Create a goal, train towards that goal, and attempt it. For me, pushing beyond what I knew I could accomplish moved the line between possible and impossible. I now know more is possible and I'll keep pushing that line of impossibility further and further away.
Where do you draw your line between possible and impossible?

I am finding a small laser more useful every week.
This morning I was doing a part that was already cut to size. The big question was "Ok, am I going to run into the clamps or what?"
Then I had an "aha!!" moment. Just use the laser to trace out the cut lines. Presto! There is where the part is in the material!
One thing I never like is cutting large openings. I don't like tabs especially well either. Have to cut them, then get rid of the little bumpies they leave, etc. If I cut through a part with tabs or onion skin then the waste can become an issue real quick. Well, since I now knew where those openings were I could just drive a screw in and hold them down. So I did that and it worked like a charm.
Yup, it takes a bit more time but it is worth it with certain parts. These days I never cut a rectangular part out of a larger piece. I cut it to size before putting it on the router. It is way faster and the finish is better.
My machine is now setup with the router using G54 for the workpiece offset and G55 for the laser workpiece offset. The router post has a G54 in the header section and the laser post has a G55. The only thing I need to do "manually" is set the Z height for the laser.
By the way, another nice thing about this method is that you do not have to clamp the part down to laser engrave it.
If you set the feedrate correctly the line left by the laser is easily sanded out.

I saw the movie Wall-E last night with some of my JH students, adult leaders, and even Trenton! I do not want to spoil it for those of you who have not seen it, but I loved it. In fact the more I think about it the more I liked it. It is such a creative and different film, especially for Disney. That being said, I don't know how many kids will enjoy the movie. Its like an adult cartoon. As somone sitting next to me said, it reminded me of good old Johnny-5, I half expected to see Steve Guttenberg pop out. So all that to say - go see the film. I think it is worth the investment.

Welcome to my "new" home in cyberspace (Oh, why did that word ever go out of fashion?).
I recently realized I've been blogging about stuff since September 2005. My first blog posts were a deliberate mash of German, Danish and English ramblings about all kinds of stuff.. my life, work, friends and family, stuff…
Not much has changed since then. The German blog posts have become rare, I must admit. I still blog in both Danish and English, depending on my mood and the language an idea speaks.
I'm fascinated by beautiful design, art, ideas and people.
I'm not a big complainer, I hate negativeness (is that a word?) and the only things that really make me furious have to do with people destroying other peoples lives. People in too much power, people with too much testosterone (sorry guys), people with guns, people with no heart, people with no brain, people with no compassion for other people… argh!
Positive thoughts (or vibes if you will) usually make my day and I practice them as often as I can. You should try them too… strangely enough they usually make you happy! 😉
In short: this blog is 99% pleasant, happy, beautiful, positive or just simply content with what life has to offer. I hope you can handle that. 😉
Want to find me somewhere else on the internet?
Look for lauramaki on gmail, flickr, skype, twitter etc.
Have a nice day

Campaign: Fiji Airways Launches 'Welcome To Our Home'
Fiji Airways, Fiji's National Airline, has launched its new brand campaign designed to showcase to the world the warm nature of Fijian hospitality.
Called 'Welcome To Our Home' it captures the unique Fijian experience travellers have on-board Fiji Airways, and by extension, in Fiji.
The new integrated campaign is led by digital, with an emphasis also on social and PR in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, USA and Fiji.
Fiji Airways managing director and CEO Stefan Pichler said: "Treating visitors like family is an inherent quality of Fijians. Our people at Fiji Airways naturally extend this same courtesy to all our guests on board. They are far more than just a seat number, they are part of our extended Fijian family."
Captured in Fiji, Australia and New Zealand, the campaign launches a series of videos featuring three real families who recently travelled to and from Fiji needing a much-deserved home-away-from-home experience of a lifetime. They were nominated by friends and family back in September.
A once tight-knit family from the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, the Monahan siblings were given the opportunity to reunite after losing their mother and splitting into different homes. Their trip sees them become a single unit honouring their mother's last wishes, and experiencing their first overseas family holiday.
The McConnells are a hardworking dairy family from Hamilton, New Zealand who have had little time to get away on a family holiday because of the demands of running a family farm with 850 cattle.
Elenoa, a Fijian widow from Laucala Beach, Fiji, boarded a plane for the very first time, and ventured to New Zealand to unite with family she had not seen for years.
Pichler added: "Following our successful relaunch to Fiji Airways last year, we have revamped our marketing approach and have now included more of Fiji's people in the way we market our company and the country overseas. As the national carrier, we want to show off what makes Fiji so special and unique as an experience. This brand position resonates well with the Fijian people because they live this experience every day.
"This also better aligns us with our aim of becoming a leading boutique airline which has a unique, personal touch."

Our family home is nestled on 63 acres in the heart of Southwestern Indiana. Here in this quaint, rural country-side is where we grew up, work, and raise our family~both human and golden alike! While the Goldens are mainly my passion and hobby, raising the dogs is a family affair! Our two older married daughters, our grandchildren, and two teen boys at home all play a part in raising puppies. The goldens enjoy a little piece of country heaven at home, with a woods to explore and pond in which to swim and train. We are small hobby breeders and while we breed on a limited basis to further our goals, we are committed to breeding healthy, intelligent, sound, quality golden retrievers. Our ultimate goal and focus is producing Goldens for the breed's original purpose, a true hunting companion and working dog. Our puppies are well suited for working homes, and active pet homes. A golden retriever should have dual functionality in the ring and in the field with the proper structure and temperament.
"Grapevine Goldens" kennel name came from the fact that my husband is the 5th generation to live on this farm. Long ago, the road to our home was commonly referred to locally as "Grapevine Road". Since our roots are so deeply established here, the name seemed to naturally fit.

I had breakfast with mayoral candidate Julian Castro on a steamy Memorial Day morning a couple of years back, and I couldn't believe it when the guy walked into El Mirador wearing a tie.
The incident left me with the impression that Castro didn't rock 'n' roll. To steal a line from Molly Ivins, I assumed that he didn't have any Elvis in him. Stanford and Harvard Law School. Check. Late nights studying the uniform development code. Check.
Late nights in a crowded bar slamming brewskis and shaking all over to the sounds of a red hot Texas guitar and harmonies. Not likely. But on Friday night, Castro supporters may see the wild side of their candidate when Los Lonely Boys play a benefit concert for him.
Yeah, those Los Lonely Boys. The Garza brothers. Harmonies sweet enough to remind you of the Beatles and a blistering guitar sound from brother Henry that has earned him a spot on the short list of great Texas guitar players along with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Winter and Lightnin' Hopkins.
Sounds like a party, but it doesn't sound like Julian's kind of party. Or maybe his ultra-serious, straight-laced image just doesn't reflect the other side of the candidate.
His supporters will get more scoop Friday night at Cowboys. The only advice from this corner is don't wear a tie.

text: First off, don't panic, you'll still have beer in the end.At this point, the 'damage' is done. The majority of esters, phenols, or other 'funky' flavors are produced by the yeast during that first 24-36 hours. The time to worry about your fermentation temperature is before you pitch your yeast. I haven't used that yeast. Who knows, you may love all the fermentation-derived character this beer will probably have. But in general, the advise I have received from this board which has served me well is to:- chill your wort down 3 degrees or so _below_ your desired fermentation temp before you pitch the yeast.- realize that fermentation creates heat, so you need to account for your beer being 2-6 degrees (or so) warmer than your ambient temperatures.Temperature control is really important for controlling the flavors in your beer. The fact that you have a Fermometer already on your fermentation vessel is a point in your favor - This will help you figure out your best strategy for keeping temps under control.Again, an English Bitter is supposed to have 'character', so I would bet this beer will turn out ok. But next time, I'd advise you to start the fermentation off with the carboy in the basement.

USA Cycling revamps international track programme
Emerging talent gets much-needed attention
On the eve of the opening round of the 2008-09 UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics in Manchester, Great Britain, USA Cycling announced a revamped track programme designed primarily to expand international track racing opportunities for emerging talent.
With an emphasis on cultivating the next generation of US track racers, the programme will closely align itself with existing European-based development programmes currently utilized by USA Cycling.
USA Cycling aims to identify and develop a deeper pool of track racing talent by providing increased exposure to world-class competition at various non-traditional events. Traditionally, US track riders have been exposed to limited international competition with national teams competing at just four World Cup races annually. Instead, the new programme will expand its scope to provide opportunity at International Cycling Union (UCI) Track Calendar events, including European Grand Prix races and Six-Days. Additionally, USA Cycling will also conduct several domestic-based track training camps.
"We've already built a successful model for athlete development," said USA Cycling Director of Athletics, Pat McDonough. "Now it's just a matter of specifically applying it to track riders. We've shown in other disciplines that consistent exposure to international competition is the most effective way to develop world-class athletes, so we needed to expand upon that idea for our track athletes. In the past, sending a team to four World Cups a year didn't provide our athletes with the amount of high-level racing necessary to improve. We expect this new endeavor to address that."
The initial emphasis will be placed on men's and women's endurance programming, followed by a long-term sprint programme scheduled to be implemented in 2010. Both the men's and women's endurance programmes will focus its efforts on developing athletes who are relatively new to track cycling at the international level. Both programmes will use the infrastructure and resources already established by USA Cycling for its U-23 National Team in Izegem, Belgium and its Women's National Team in Lucca, Italy.
Currently, the US boasts athletes who are capable of being very competitive in specific endurance-oriented events on the track. For these athletes, consistent exposure to international-level track cycling will complement the acquired skill set and physiology that are necessary for endurance cycling as a whole.
Under the new program's philosophy, USA Cycling will also work closely with American-based UCI-registered track trade teams to field squads for the five World Cup events this season. The trade team structure, which complements the national team's efforts, provides athletes with additional support to attend World Cup races.
For the 2008-09 season, the United States has six UCI-registered track trade teams which feature a total of 18 athletes. The six squads are the most by any one country as both Great Britain and Spain have the second-most with four each. American trade teams include Hawk Relay Cycling, Ouch Pro Cycling, Proman Racing Team, Rock Racing, South Bay Wheelmen and Verducci Breakaway Racing. The World Cup opener in Manchester will feature two US riders – Shelly Olds and Becky Quinn.
USA Cycling will not field a national team for the season's first three World Cup events in Manchester, Melbourne, Australia and Cali, Colombia. However a national team comprised of development athletes will represent the United States at round four in Beijing and the fifth and final race in Copenhagen this winter.
"Because of the support of several track trade teams, many of our top athletes will continue to compete at World Cup races," continued McDonough. "The alliance we've created allows us to better invest our resources by redirecting them into the development of the next generation."
In conjunction with the new track initiatives, USA Cycling also released information pertaining to its direct athlete funding programs. An updated version of the 2009 Podium Program is now available, as is information on the 2009 High Performance Incentive Program. Both documents, as well as a complete outline detailing the specifics of USA Cycling's new track programme, are available on USA Cycling's website.
On Thursday, USA Cycling also released selection procedures for the 2009 UCI Track World Championships in Pruszkow, Poland, March 26-30. The most notable change from previous years is the elimination of the USA Cycling Track Talent Pool structure. Before, athletes needed to be in the Talent Pool to be eligible for major international competition, however in 2009 the world championship squad will be selected based on various parameters including 2008 world championship performance, time standards and additional international results.

Since I've moved to Nottingham, I've fallen a little bit in love with Highfields Park and the lake, which sits at the edge of Nottingham University campus.
Over the past six months, we've been on plenty of walks and runs around its perimeter (and hired a rowing boat once), but the past couple of days have been so gorgeous that I've been able to sit in the sunshine and write.
Part of me feels a bit hypocritical, after having always considered people writing on laptops in public to be a bit wanky. But one thing I've learned this year – having so much self directed time – is that spending every day in your own house, with no need to change out of your pyjamas, is not as brilliant as it sounds. In fact, you can end up feeling a bit stir crazy, and definitely not so motivated to write.
So this morning I got up and out by 8am and headed to the lake. I sat with my wanky coffee and wanky laptop and started writing, expecting to come out with something Wordsworth or Blake might be happy with, reflective of my verdant, tranquil surroundings.
Instead, I spent an hour staring at a little island on the lake and thinking about the scary geese that lived there, and wrote the following poem about the goose mafia that I imagine run this joint.
Emily x
Goose Island
Fuck off mate,
this is Goose Island.
No duck-heads allowed.
Tell me: which part of
'Goose Island'
suggests we welcome
your crowd?
We earned this place.
Won it, fair and square.
So go on, sling yer
ducky hook,
take yer begging elsewhere.
You chancing mallard bastards:
you're all the bloody same.
Green headed hooligans,
the lot of yer. Yeah,
I know your game!
And why should I care, exactly,
if you saw a tufted duck
stopping by?
Not that I feel obliged
in any way to tell you,
but it's a business thing.
A protection racket,
if you will.
They pay their bills.
We watch their backs,
and that's it.
See, Tufty's bright.
He keeps himself to himself.
Him and the grebes,
I don't mind them.
They know what side
their bread floats.
They're alright.
Not like you mallard wankers!
Now get out of my sight,
before you get
the sharp side of my tongue.
My ganders are roosting;
they need some peace and quiet.
And if you disturb our goslings
you'll have bigger fish to fry.
Sorry, mixed metaphor.
Yeah, the Barnacle Boys, that's right.
Go on, shake a tail feather,
before the lads shake it for you.
Protection for you, mate?
Are you yanking my beak?
Not to state the obvious pal
but right now, as we speak
you're waddling in
the nest of the beast.
If you'll pardon the expression.
You'll need an ambulance,
not protection,
if you keep on with this quacking.
The SWANS?!?!
Bruv you're tripping,
you've been on the flippin'
pond-water again.
Swans and geese
look out for each other pal.
No, I wouldn't say we're friends
but it's an arrangement,
It's what you'd aim for
with the coots, mate,
if you had any sense.
Try some ducks your own size,
lower your sights.
Try the riverbank by the café
You'll get a few pity bites.
Toddlers and OAPs,
that's your target group.
I mean you ever see a human
cower from a bird your size?
Well get this: the other day
I hustled curly fries
AND a meatball sub.
Just from one well-placed hiss!
No there isn't any left, pal.
Are you takin' the piss?!
Now go on,
I don't wanna see your type
paddling round here again.
And from now on,
just you remember
the pecking order,
my feathered friend!

Proud of My Fellow Domers
In defense of the unborn, we wish to express our deepest opposition to Reverend John I. Jenkins, CSC's invitation of President Barack Obama to be the University of Notre Dame's principal commencement speaker and the recipient of an honorary degree. Our objection is not a matter of political partisanship, but of President Obama's hostility to the Catholic Church's teachings on the sanctity of human life at its earliest stages. His recent dedication of federal funds to overseas abortions and to embryonic stem cell research will directly result in the deaths of thousands of innocent human beings.
We cannot sit by idly while the University honors someone who believes that an entire class of human beings is undeserving of the most basic of all legal rights, the right to live.The University's decision runs counter to the policy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops against honoring pro-choice politicians. In their June 2004 statement Catholics in Political Life, the bishops said, "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors, or platforms which would suggest support for their actions."
Fr. Jenkins defends his invitation by saying that it does not honor or suggest support for the President's views on abortion, but rather support for his leadership. But our "fundamental moral principles" must be respected at all times. And the principle that requires us to refrain from the direct killing of the innocent has a special status even among the most fundamental principles. President Obama's actions have consistently shown contempt for this principle, and he has sought political gain by making light of its clear political implications. Leadership that puts the lives of the most innocent at risk is leadership we must disdain. In the face of President Obama's actions, Father Jenkins' words ring hollow.
It is a great irony that the University has chosen to award President Obama an honorary law degree. As the oldest Catholic law school in the country, the Notre Dame Law School states that its mission is "to facilitate greater understanding of and commitment to the relationship between law and social justice." The social justice issue of our day is the deliberate, legal attack on the most vulnerable members of society, the unborn. To award a Notre Dame law degree to a lawyer and politician who has used the law to deny equality to the unborn diminishes the value of the degree itself.
Additionally, Fr. Jenkins has placed some of his students in a moral dilemma as to whether they can attend their own graduation. Many pro-life seniors, along with their families, are conflicted about whether to participate in the commencement ceremony. The lack of concern for these devoted sons and daughters of Notre Dame, who love this University and the Catholic principles on which it was built, is shameful.
In response to the University's decision, we pledge ourselves to acts of witness that will be characterized by respect, prayerfulness, outspoken fidelity to the Church, and true concern for the good of our University.It is appropriate that only members of the Notre Dame community lead all such protests, and we ask outside groups to respect our responsibilities in this regard. Over the next several weeks, in response to this scandal, our organizations will host various academic and religious events to engage the University community. We request any groups who are committed to respectful actions to support our efforts, thereby ensuring a unified front and a more compelling public witness.

The Parables of Jesus Ignored?
Sorry we've been away!
Michael's been swamped with dissertating and I've been busy writing a new chapter of my book on the Last Supper. This chapter focuses on "The Eucharistic Parables of Jesus and the Kingdom of God." As anyone who's ever tried knows, it is easy to get sucked into the vortex that is scholarly research on the kingdom of God and never get out. Thankfully, I am coming out of it.
In the midst of writing, however, I've noticed two things worth sharing.
First, I have been working through Klyne Snodgrass' new book, Stories with Intent: A Comprehensive Guide to the Parables of Jesus (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2008). So far, so great! I must admit that when this book first came out, I didn't pay it much attention, but it has quickly become the best work on the Parables that I have on my shelf. Two particular strengths stand out.
(1) Snodgrass does not make his exegesis of the parables contingent on any particular source-critical solution to the Synoptic Problem. He interprets the parables as they stand in the Gospels. (Although this may ruffle the feathers of some reviewers, I suspect it will give his work an enduring value that many twentieth-century studies will not share. Go re-read C. H. Dodd's book on the parables and you'll see what I mean.)
(2) Snodgrass at least attempts to interpret what each of the parables might have meant in Jesus' own historical context. This is a refreshing change from commentaries that simply assume that the parables are allegories of the life of the early Church without even trying to see how they fit into an ancient Jewish context. The results in many cases are quite compelling.
Second, I have become startlingly aware of just how many Jesus scholars--myself included!--tend to give the parables rather short shrift in full-length books on Jesus. Think back over the last century. Where are the parables in the works of Albert Schweitzer, Ben Meyer, E. P. Sanders, or Dale Allison? Nowhere to be found. What about James Dunn's massive Jesus Remembered? Surely in 1000 pages he devoted ample space to them? Sorry; just a few pages. Even N. T. Wright, who gives great attention to the Prodigal Son and the Wicked Tenants, ignores a host of other parables (especially those troublesome 'Second Coming' parables, which don't exactly fit Wright's view that the Second Coming will take place, but that Jesus never spoke about it.) Finally, if what he told me a few years ago is still the case, Father John Meier's fourth and fifth volumes will contain little to no treatment of the parables, because only a few of them are multiply attested.
The irony in all this is that if there is anything that modern scholarship agrees on, it is that (1) Jesus preached about the kingdom of God; and (2) he did so using parables. Yet when we turn to major books on Jesus, oftentimes, the parables play little to no role in the reconstruction. Why is this?
Of course, there are probably a host of reasons that are too complex to be summed up in a short post. But I would suggest at least one.
On the one hand, it seems to me that the parables that describe the kingdom as a process of growth that takes place over time (e.g., the Mustard Seed, the Seed Growing Secretly, the Wheat and the Tares) pose a huge problem for Albert Schweitzer's enormously influential theory that Jesus expected the end of history to coincide with his own death. Perhaps this is why they played no real role in his reconstruction of Jesus' eschatology. On the other hand, it's no coincidence that C. H. Dodd, the champion of "realized eschatology," leaves the parables that envision a delay of some sort before the final unexpected advent of the Son of Man until the end of his book on the parables of Jesus (e.g., the Faithful and Unfaithful Servants, the Waiting Slaves, the Thief at Night, the Ten Virgins). They likewise pose real problems for his overall argument, and so he readily disposes of them as creations of the early Church.
In other words, many of the parables just don't fit the eschatological schemas that undergird most Jesus research taking place these days. So what to do? Simple: ignore them, as if they didn't exist. That, at least, is what I've done in my own thought for a number of years. Or, declare them all inauthentic, by stripping them of the elements that pose problems and then reinterpreting them.
However, is this really the best way to deal with the parables? Maybe the reason the parables of the kingdom don't play a role in many books about Jesus is not because they are all inauthentic, but because most modern conceptions of Jesus' view of the kingdom is fundamentally flawed. That, at least, is what I am beginning to wonder.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A dangerously high level of E.coli bacteria was found in water samples collected from Qiding and Fulong beaches, making the beaches unsuitable for water activities.
The Environmental Protection Administration (EPD), on August 11, announces the result of the second beach water examination. The outcome collected from water examples of 10 popular beaches in Taiwan shows that Fulong beach at New Taipei City and Qiding beach at Miaoli County are found to have a high concentration of E.coli bacteria above legal limits for people to go into the water.
The Director of Environmental monitoring and information management, Chang Shun-chin, said the rapid increase in number of E.coli organisms were caused by the heavy rains dumped by several typhoons in the previous weeks. He reminded people not to swim in the waters at the beach within three days after heavy rains.
However, apart from Fulong and Qiding, the other eight seaside recreation centers tested negative for the bacteria and therefore are safe for water activities, including Wai-ao at Yilan, Jinshan at New Taipei City, Tongxiao at Miaoli, Mashagou at Tainan, Sizihwan at Kaohsiung, Kenting at Pingtung, Shanyuan at Taitung, and Guanyin at Penghu.
Since 1999, the EPA has been conducting water quality monitoring during the summer season to inform people of the quality of water for any seaside activities. The water samples are collected at the water at a depth of one meter in the left, center and right side within the safe beach area. Later on, they are categorized as "Good," "Fair" and "Unsuitable for water activities."
E. coli or Escherichia coli is a type of bacteria that lives in intestines of humans and animals. Most types of E. coli are harmless. However, some types can cause diarrhea and sickness.

Hutchinson CC Sports Information
Freshman midfielder Naomi Waithira was the only Hutchinson Community College women's soccer player to earn first-team All-Region VI status when the 2018 teams were announced on Monday.
Waithira was one of five Blue Dragons to earn all-Region honors. Brailey Moeder, Ashley Venegas, Hailey Burke and Taylor Camp all made the second team.
All five Blue Dragons earned first-team All-Jayhawk West honors last week.
Waithira, a freshman from Nairobi, Kenya, was one of the top playmakers in the region this season with 15 assists, tying for the sixth-most assists in 2018. She also had four goals for 23 total points this season.
Her 15 assists tied for the second most by a Blue Dragon freshman and tied four others for the sixth most assists in Hutchinson single-season history.
Waithira had four multi-assist games and a season-high three against Northwest Tech on September 29.
Waithira helped the Blue Dragons to a 13-3-1 record this past season.
BRAILEY MOEDER – 2nd team (sophomore, Hutchinson, KS)
Moeder was Hutchinson's leading scorer with 41 points and tied for the team lead with 14 goals. She was second on the team with 13 assists. Moeder connected on all three of her penalty kick attempts this season. She had two hat tricks with three goals each against North Iowa Area and Cloud County, where she achieved that hat trick in a school-record 5 minutes, 4 seconds. Moeder is a two-year All-Region VI selection.
ASHLEY VENEGAS – 2nd team (freshman, Odessa, TX)
Once injuries started to take their toll on the Blue Dragon front line this season, Venegas became another scoring option. She finished with a team-high-tying 14 goals and seven assists for 35 points. Venegas had a stretch of scoring goals in 8 of 9 games where she had 10 goals and 26 points. She had a two-goal, three-assist game against Hesston on October 10.
HAILEY BURKE – 2nd team (sophomore, Topeka, KS)
Burke was solid performance on the best defensive team in the Jayhawk in 2018. Hutch allowed just 17 goals this season. Burke also played a key role on Blue Dragon set pieces where she connected on two headers for goals and had one assist this season.
TAYLOR CAMP – 2nd team (freshman, Waxahachie, TX)
Camp posted a record of 12-3-1 in her freshman season with nine shutouts. She had 46 saves and a goals-against average of 1.05 in 1,460 total minutes played. She had a save percentage of .730. Some of her best saves this season came in a 4-3 come-from-behind win at Cloud County where after Hutch took the lead with 10:29 to play, Camp stopped 1 of 2 penalty kicks and faced several other direct free kicks from dangerous areas just outside the penalty box to preserve the victory.

Born in the Netherlands, Lobith 1951.
After several jobs I quit my career and became an artist later on in my life.<
Many years later, I still love what I do with heart and soul. Having exhibitions in
the Netherlands and other countries, being presented by galleries, participating in
shows and working in Spain is a nice and exciting part of the job.
But not a thing is easily done and nothing is taken for granted. If wishes came true
and dreams became reality, I hope I will be able to make artwork for ever,
transcending the bustle of every day to make a contribution to the colourful and
"bright side of life".
Painting and creating is a personal way to express myself in what I meet in life
(the expression of the impression).
Each white sheet or blank canvas is a challenge and it is an adventure to explore
possibilities, to realize a composition with colour and form within this context.
Sometimes I know exactly what I am going to create in advance, sometimes I do
not. The material I am using and 'the wind that blows through me' is starting
point. From there the work of art grows and will get its final shape.
I make paintings and objects. The paintings are made on canvas or paper with
several kind of materials like acrylic, oil, watercolours and mixed media's,
statues are made of aerated concrete blocks. All other objects are painted with
In the past years my work has become known in the Netherlands and other
countries worldwide.

Far too many people are stuck in a nowhere position, in the wrong environment, working for a boss they hate. Worse yet, they're clueless about how to land a better job. Not knowing what to do, they resort to their old standby - their resume. People assume their resumes account for 90 percent of getting a new job. The truth is, though, it's maybe 10 percent! They don't know what it really takes—and have nowhere to turn.
Lose the Resume, Land the Job serves up the kind of straight talk that no one – not your spouse, partner, friend, mentor, or anyone else – will tell you. It will show you how to:
- Know yourself
- Target opportunities
- Network like it's a contact sport
- Showcase your "ACT" – being authentic, making a connection, and giving others a "taste" of what it's like to work with you.
If this sounds like what you're missing, you're in luck. In this new book authored by Korn Ferry CEO Gary Burnison, you'll find all you need to get a clue—and be more empowered as you lose the resume and land the job.

*edit – I wrote this on Wednesday night, planned to publish on Friday morning but after the events of Thursday night onwards, it didn't feel right. Had it been written today, my thoughts on this month (and my language) may have been more choice and colourful…
Somehow, inexplicably, it's nearly the end of June. Halfway through 2016. It's a strange month, where everything feels up in the air. We're in the process of moving, at least we're trying to, which could be the explanation, but it doesn't seem to be just me feeling the strange winds at the moment. I'm not sure if it's the dreaded referendum, the weather or just this time of year, but I'm looking forward to settling into some normal days soon. Hopefully July will bring fewer storms and a little more sunshine, but thankfully June has at least blessed us with some colour. I found all of the petals in the above picture in my city garden (patio), so that's a little ray of sunshine in an otherwise fairly grey month.
Alongside the fog that has sunk down over Brighton throughout the last week, it feels as though there's a fair amount of it in my brain too. You may have noticed that this is the first post in nearly two weeks, for which I'm blaming a fairly heavy dose of writer's and photographer's block. A combination of medication woes and repeated thunderstorms has left me with a near constant headache for the last three weeks which I'm sure can't be helping matters either. Every time I try to sit and write, it's almost as if I've forgotten how to do so, in that very few words actually end up on the page and the ones that do don't make all that much sense. I can't seem to take any pictures I like either. I've tried searching all my usual sources of inspiration but am still struggling to find that spark. Please do let me know if you have any tips for getting out of ruts like this, otherwise I'll just keep waiting and hoping that my ability to write returns by itself.
In times like these it can be easy to get frustrated very quickly, and inwardly directed frustration isn't the best feeling, nor the most productive use of time. I'm trying to avoid that feeling of letting myself down by just trying to give myself a break. Stressing over not producing my best work isn't going to help me create anything better, so there's no point in adding pressure. If you're feeling like this, I'd recommend taking a step back and giving yourself some time to relax, and with any luck that creative spark will find it's way back to you. Paint your nails, read a magazine, go for a wander, and immerse yourself in the things that make you smile. It might inspire you to do something, but if it doesn't, at least you'll have had a lovely day.

Are you interested in heavy vehicle driving? Perhaps you are looking for ways to improve your employability or boost your employment options. A heavy vehicle licence can be a great option since it will enable you to pursue different career paths in the industrial, trucking, recreational, and agricultural sectors. If you are unemployed, a school leaver, or simply need to develop your skills in heavy vehicle driving, obtaining a heavy vehicle licence will enhance your skill set and is a great way to open up new employment opportunities. For this reason, when deciding which heavy vehicle training facility will get you there, here are a few things to consider.
Types of Licences Offered
There are five classes of heavy vehicle licences, including Multi Combination, Light Rigid, Medium Rigid, Heavy Rigid, and Heavy Combination. Not all heavy-vehicle driving schools may offer all these classes. Large trucking operators will use many Heavy Combination configurations in their fleet. For this reason, most of the heavy vehicle driving schools may offer training for a Heavy Combination licence. Therefore, find out whether the training facility offers the other four classes as well.
Mode of Training
Practical heavy driving instructions should be one-on-one training where you drive with the instructor beside you. It will be prudent to find out how many one-on-one hours of training you will receive. You don't want a one-on-two situation where you take turns with another learner. This is because one-on-one training is often the labour intensive component of your learning and you need to get its full benefit.
In nearly all the states, the training providers, if accredited to do so, can conduct the assessment. You need to find out whether the driving school does. If it doesn't, you will need an accredited assessor to assess you, which will most likely cost you an extra fee. However, if you are in a state that doesn't require training providers to assess their students to avoid conflicts of interest, your driving school should organise an assessment by independent third party assessors.
Training Environment
You may be completely wrong if you think that training around an industrial estate with very little hazards or traffic is the way to go. Train in an environment that's more representative of the various challenges you are likely to face when you are out driving by yourself. Driving schools that focus on such busy areas would be a great choice.
Driving schools like All Onsite Training and Assessment will be able to answer any of your questions about the process of getting your heavy vehicle licence.
If you want to save money and have your business run efficiently, you need to take care of your heavy construction equipment. You need to know how to service it, how to spot issues, when to hire versus buy equipment and many other issues. Hi, my name is Russel, and welcome to my blog. I have loved heavy equipment since I was a child pushing a toy dump truck up and down my carpet, and although I do not work in that industry, I remain extremely interested in it. This blog is my chance to "play" with heavy equipment. I thank you for reading, and I hope that you learn and enjoy!
