Hudiksvall, Sweden
Hudiksvall is a city in Hälsingland, Sweden and the seat of Hudiksvall Municipality, Gävleborg County. Situated nearly 200 miles northwest of Stockholm, Hudiksvall is a treasure trove of 18th and 19th century architecture.
This delightful seaside village with its colorful painted doorways highlight the charming old red fishermen's cottages in Fiskarstan and Möljen, while the view of the bay from the terraced Hantverksgården is lovely. Known as Glada Hudik, or "Lively Hudiksvall," during its heyday in the mid 1800s, Hudiksvall is still quite high spirited when summer visitors fill the cafés and restaurants.

In the past, it often seemed Mother's Day should be called "Grandmother's Day". I have four children, but it was a rare moment when the spotlight shone on me. The why of that is something I've gradually come to understand, but in 2007, I had no idea.
I have three siblings, and one lives quite close, but I always felt holidays were my responsibility. My children gave me cards and wished me a happy day, and I was and am grateful for all of them. Still, I spent Mother's Day and the days leading up to it cleaning, worrying, and waiting for it to be over. I made reservations for brunch, and invited my parents, mother-in-law and my brother's family to my house, afterwards. I had snacks and dessert. I had a nice, mushy card for my mom, as well as a small gift.
My parents like to play cards. It's not my favorite activity, but that's what we did because it's what my parents expect and it was Mom's day, after all. My father was cranky because he prefers to choose which game we play, and my parents rarely agree on one. But Mom picked and we went through the day on a decades-old script that none of us knew how to stray from.
Except, my kids don't follow a script. Between card games, my fourteen-year-old son announced that he was thinking about getting a summer job. He was looking for input as to what kind of job he could get and how he would get back and forth.
My mother looked to me and asked, "Isn't he too young to get a job?"
I said, "I had a job when I was fourteen."
Dismissively, my mother said, "Oh, you had babysitting jobs."
I started babysitting when I was eleven, but at fourteen I found a "real" job, working at a low-budget department store.
"Oh you did not. I don't think it's even legal for children that young to work."
I said, "Well, I had one. I worked in the summer, and also after school and weekends all through high school."
We went on to play more cards. When they were heading out the door I hugged my mom and told her Happy Mother's Day again. After everyone left, I cleaned up the kitchen, got my youngest to bed, and finally began to relax a little myself.
The next morning, after I took the kids to school, I checked my email. I found one from my mom, and opened it, assuming it would be some kind of thank you. In all honesty, I probably rolled my eyes because I felt resentful that I "had no choice" in what I did for holiday.
But this email had not been sent to thank me. Instead, the short and angry note informed me that I had "ruined" her Mother's Day. It took several back-and-forth emails and phone calls to discover that she was angry because, by saying I had a job at fourteen, I had implied that they were bad parents. That rather insignificant conversation was the only thing Mom remembered from a day spent in her honor.
How strange that of all the things that have happened in my life, this is the event that pushed me to finally look around and see if anyone else had answers I didn't. I'd been running in circles to do everything my parents wanted me to do for more than forty years, and it was simply not working. I constantly felt pressured and unhappy, and I was much too focused on finding the correct answer, the one action or response that would make my parents love me, and consequently, make me feel whole.
It took a couple of days to get the nerve to tell my husband that I was going to seek professional help. I was afraid he'd be angry, or disappointed, or would reject me. This is unjustified because my husband has always been my biggest cheerleader, but I projected my own anxiety and my parents' attitudes onto him.
His response surprised me.
He cried.
I am still not sure, why. At first I thought it was because I was failing. It felt like failure to me. After all, I was supposed to come up with the answers myself, right?
The next day, I started looking for a therapist. I had no idea what to look for. I researched online for hours, but ended up randomly picking one and emailing him to ask for an appointment. The following week, the world began to unfold in new and unexpected ways.

Key Specifications

I can still vividly remember the day that the original US Robotics Pilot landed on my desk. At a time when Psion ruled the PDA roost, and the Apple Newton had pretty much fallen flat on its face, the Pilot rewrote the rule book and rekindled market interest in the PDA.
The Pilot was revolutionary in as much as it didn't have a keyboard, but didn't require hours of handwriting training like the Apple Newton. Introducing Graffiti as the preferred form of input, the Pilot allowed users to get up and running after only a brief time with the device, making it instantly attractive.
Many years have passed since I first pushed the HotSync button on my original Pilot cradle, and the name Pilot has long been forgotten by most modern PDA users. But I mention my original experience because sitting in front of me today is the latest descendant of that ground breaking PDA, and it seemed only fitting to pay a small homage to the great granddaddy of PalmOS.
Right, now that I've got the rose tinted reminiscing out of the way, I can get on with the job at hand. The palmOne Zire 72 is a brand new, consumer focussed PDA. Unlike the majority of PDAs that are finished in some kind of metallic silver, the Zire 72 is a bit more frivolous. The main body is finished in a rubberised blue substance that gives a pleasant tactile feel, as well as a solid grip. Much as I like metallic finishes, such devices do have a habit of slipping out of your hand at the most inopportune moments.
It has to be said that the Zire 72 is a good looking device, and pretty much every aspect of the design gels beautifully with everything else. What wins me over though, is the fact that this little PDA isn't over-designed – nothing is more complicated than it has to be. The stylus for example, simply slides into its slot on the right hand side of the chassis. There's no spring-loaded, telescopic tom-foolery – it simply slides into place and sits there snugly until it's needed, at which point it slides effortlessly free.
Although I was one of the pioneering Palm users, last year my allegiance switched to the Pocket PC camp when I bought myself an HP iPAQ h5450. My main reasons for buying the iPAQ were its stylish design and the fact that it had both integrated Bluetooth and WiFi. It has to be said however, that next to the Zire 72, my old iPAQ looks enormous.
So, could I think about casting my iPAQ aside and seriously consider this little Zire instead? Well not really because the Zire doesn't have integrated WiFi, but to be honest, that's about the only shortcoming of this little device. But before I get too far ahead of myself, let's cover the basics.
Driving the Zire 72 is a 312MHz ARM-based processor. Now, this may not be as fast as the 400MHz processors seen in a lot of Pocket PC devices, but PalmOS is nowhere near as process-intensive as Pocket PC. So, while I find myself having to soft-reset my iPAQ several times a day to clear out any process hogging apps that might be hanging around, I didn't once have to resort to such action on the Zire. The processor is backed up by 32MB of memory, but only 24MB of that is available for user storage. But fear not, there is an SD card slot, so you can expand the memory pretty much ad infinitum. The slot is also SDIO compatible, so you could quite easily add WiFi to the Zire 72's list of features, making it all the more attractive to me once more.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

PNOS (Swiss Nationalist Party) Congress – Speech by William Johnson
After the aperitif we went up one floor, and so the chairs in the big hall, which had been prepared for 120 persons, were occupied almost to the last seat.
Raphael Rotzer took over the moderation and guided the guests through the evening. The first speaker was Dominic Lüthard, party president of PNOS on stage. He was able to enthuse the audience with his 20-minute speech and swore his party is on the upcoming spring's major council elections in the canton of Bern.
Subsequently, Prof. Dr. Tomislav Sunic gave a one-hour talk, including talks on the "Alt-right" movement and what impact Donald Trump's electoral victory had on Europe so far. Shortly before the end of the speech, the congress was interrupted by some 30 anti-fascist activists.
The attack of Antifa: At the beginning of the week, PNOS President Dominic Lüthard sought contact with the cantonal police in Solothurn and informed them, among other things, about the venue of the party congress. Especially with regard to the attack on the PNOS in eastern Switzerland, the party wanted to inform the local authorities, so as to prevent a second "bazenheid". Remember, in this St. Gallen village, party members were attacked about three weeks ago holding a Stammtisch. Thus, the order to the Solothurn canton police would have been clear; namely to ensure peace and order surrounding our event. But unfortunately it happened differently:
During the presentation by Prof. dr. Tomislav Sunic the room suddenly heard Antifa calls around 30 meters from the restaurant, stones were flying, petards were detonated and cars were demolished, and windows were smashed at the restaurant. As a result, around 40 young confederates formed a heart to arrest the 30 anti-fascists. The Confederates have managed to follow the gang, it was finally missing only a few meters, so that the left-wing extremists could have been asked to then hand them over to the police. But just this police barred the way the Confederates and stopped the fortified patriots. And how could it be otherwise: once again let the left-wing extremists pull! Nonsense anyone who believes that the police would have made the anti-fascists arrested! One wonders seriously: Can that be that the police in Solothurn really so incompetent? Was not it negligent playing with people's health? – These are questions which PNOS definitely wants to clarify. One thing is for sure: PNOS will certainly no longer rely on, let alone count on, the Solothurn canton police. At the next event in the canton of Solothurn, a private security service will be provided.
The party congress could then be continued with a delay of approximately one hour, but without further disturbances. The next speaker Tobias Steiger entered the podium, he was able to demonstrate it in an impressive way with his speech to the audience that the alienation of Europe definitely is not a coincidence, but long-planned. He received a warm round of applause for his open words. After that, William Daniel Johnson took the floor. He is president of the American Freedom Party and knew how to convince people with his friendly American style. His speech, animated by wit and charm, was applauded by the Swiss as well.
Finally, Lutz Urbanczyk of the AfD gave a 45-minute presentation and was thus able to mobilize all forces once again. He was able to enthuse the audience with his lively idiom, which probably also results from his rich background of experience, as well as his commitment to the upcoming election campaign in Switzerland and thus to the major council elections in the Canton of Bern. His speech was rousing and freely spoken from the heart.
Each speaker was given a large piece of mountain cheese as a gift by Jasmin Mäder, Chair of PNOS Zurich.
In the last few days a many pictures and audio material was created, which we will release soon; For example, an interview with Lutz Urbanczyk in front of the Bundeshaus in Bern or an interview with Eric Weber, formerly Grossrat in the canton of Basel. Also, all the speeches that were presented at yesterday's party congress, held with the camera; the videos will be available soon.
It was an eventful weekend, which has enriched us with many positive impressions. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all speakers. Also a heartfelt thank you to all the helpers, to the camera team and to all those, who were involved in the organization of the congress. Finally, a big thank you goes to the numerous guests, who will certainly not be intimidated by a few left-wing extremists.
The PNOS is on the right track. The stronger we become, the more the other side will try to torpedo and attack us. But we will know how to defend ourselves in the future, we are prepared!

As with any other malicious software, ransomware spreads through human interaction. Unsafe security practices, such as clicking on malicious email attachments, downloading files from unknown sources, and clicking links on untrusted websites install the software onto a user's machine. Gone is the "hacking" requirement, since the bad actors simply let the victims do the installation themselves.
The Encryption Process:
Once the ransomware is installed on the victim machine, it usually goes through the following steps:
1) Its first action is to send a communication to its command and control server (C&C) containing information such as the network IP address, location, and system information.
2) The C&C sends back an encryption key—a unique key, created specifically for that network.
3) After downloading that key to the victim machine, the ransomware starts encrypting files. First, it encrypts the files on the local machine.
4) Then – and this is the significant element for many businesses – it travels to any mapped drives and encrypts those files also, including external hard drives, shared network drives, and any plugged-in flash drives. It can even travel to files in the cloud.(See the NOTE below.)
5) Once the encryption process is complete, the ransomware modifies operating system tools to ensure that there is no way to retrieve the files.
6) A message is displayed on the infected computer that explains what happened to the user. At this point, the files are completely inaccessible until the decryption key is obtained.
NOTE: The ransomware is able to encrypt all the files to which the users have administrative rights (meaning that they can create, modify, and save the files). That means that on a shared directory, if the logged-on user can modify all of the files, ALL of them will be encrypted–even those that the user has never accessed and has no need to access.
Because users are more likely to discover the locked files on their own computers, some new ransomware variants start their encryption with the network files, and then go on to encrypt the local ones. This decreases the likelihood that the encryption process will be discovered before it is completed.
Once the files are encrypted, antivirus software may be able to clean the malware off the computer; however it does not help with file access. With ransomware, having the decryption key is the only way to once again access the files. In early CryptoLocker versions, it was sometimes possible to read the key off the local computer and unlock files that way. However, in later versions ("improvements") of the malware this has been rendered impossible, as the key is stored only on secured servers.

Radio Pop: social radio listening from BBC Radio Labs
Today we launched Radio Pop, a social network around BBC radio. Its a project which has been around for over a year now and its great to finally get it out for people to start playing with. Listening to BBC radio through Radio Pop gives you some (hopefully) interesting information and what you've been listening to and what your friends have been listening to. When you hear something you really like you can 'pop' it – that's Radio Pop vernacular for bookmark
The Radio Pop site is about displaying your listening, your friends' listening and everyone's listening. Your profile displays your recent activity along side your favourite stations and programmes (or brands to be more specific). Here's my profile:
It also displays what you're currently listening to so anyone visiting the site can see what you're up to.
At the moment, we're not doing all that much with all this listening data but in the future we are looking to provide recommendations and personalisation (no self-respecting web app can be without them!) and perhaps more integration with other BBC services. In fact its a good point to make that Radio Pop would not be the service it is without our excellent BBC programmes catelogue which provides us with schedule data and unique IDs for every programme, series and brand. While we're not using the data in interesting ways as yet, we set out to make Radio Pop accessible and extensible so you can use your data for your own apps and mash ups.
For example, here's my profile (including what I'm currently listening to): http://www.radiopop.co.uk/users/fridayforward.xml.
And here's my recent listening:
Its also available as an RSS feed.
I built an example app using user profile data so you can tell your blog readers what you're listening to:
Check out the API documentation for more information on our feeds. The blog badge is available from the extras page where you can find an OS X widget which allows you to listen to BBC radio through Radio Pop from the comfort of your desktop.
So that's Radio Pop. But how does it all work?
Radio Pop is a Ruby on Rails application (because that's where our experience lies) which runs on nginx with the fair proxy balancer module and memcached caching (because its needs to handle a large number of requests). We support OpenID for login (along side a standard username and password) as well as OAuth for communication between Radio Pop and any clients which post data to it (including the desktop widget). This means we have an input API as well as an output API, should you want to build an on-demand Radio Pop player…
Tracking your listening is done quite simply, through a 'pulse' sent every 60 seconds. When you change the station you are listening to or listen over a programme boundary, the pulses are combined into a single 'listen event'. Once this happens it will appear on the graphs on your profile and in your listening history. When you stop listening (and therefore stop sending pulses) a listen event is created after 5 minutes of inactivity.
I should point out that a lot of the initial development for this version of Radio Pop was done by Mint Digital, who worked from our initial internal prototype. Thomas from Mint also advanced my Rails and nginx knowledge ten-fold. At least.
Please check it out, sign up and start listening.

We've come back to the Alamogordo area just about every two years – it's a place we enjoy visiting and always find something new. The usual response from our friends when we tell them where we're going is whaaa? But as you'll see, there's plenty to keep you occupied.
We started this visit with a trip to the New Mexico Museum of Space History, an imposing building located high above the town. We'd never visited, and were surprised by the extensive collection of exhibits and interesting history displayed throughout the building. After buying your ticket, you take an elevator to the top floor and work your way down, an easy way to tour the building. Space exploration owes a lot to the work done by scientists at White Sands Missile Range located just down the road, and many of the original test vehicles are on display. We had fun trying to master (unsuccessfully) the Space Shuttle Simulator. It provided a fairly realistic experience of trying to land the shuttle at Edwards AFB, complete with shuttle controllers consoling you after you crashed and burned ("nice try, but let's flare the shuttle next time so we don't punch through the runway").
Along with lots of interesting items inside, the outside area has a number of interesting items, like the remains of a crashed V-3 rocket, a section of rocket sled, and various missiles and rockets. And of course "Astronaut Ice Cream" in the gift shop. A neat place, well worth stopping by if you're in the area.
We always spend time in the Sacramento Mountains. The tall pines, cool temperatures, and even a bubbling stream or two are a huge contrast to the desert below. The small town of Cloudcroft is a gem, and we enjoy the drive from there to Ruidoso on highway 244, which meanders through beautiful mountain meadows and forest.
From Ruidoso, a bustling year-around resort town, we headed North, passing the impressive Spencer Theater of the Performing Arts, to Fort Stanton, one of the truly unique places that we've visited. Originally a Calvary post, it has served as a Merchant Marine hospital for tuberculosis patients, an internment center for WWII prisoners, and a state hospital. Now a state monument, it's an interesting place to explore.
One of the surprising sights is the Merchant Marine cemetery complete with anchor and chain. There's a small museum where you can learn more about the fascinating history of this almost-forgotten fort.
Continuing down the mountains, we stopped at Capitan, a small town and the home of the Smokey Bear Historical Park (notice that there's no "the" in the name). The park has a nice museum that tells the story of the little cub that was found after a fire, burnt and clinging to a tree, and how the Forest Service turned him into a symbol for fire prevention. There are some interesting exhibits from the 50's and 60's, and in the attached garden, you can visit the gravesite of Smokey, where you learn that Smokey, as an official civil service employee, was retired after 25 years of service. This is an interesting place to visit, and children especially will enjoy all of the interactive exhibits.
Up the road from Captian, we headed into the foothills of the Lincoln National Forest to the semi-ghost town of White Oaks. Once a booming town of 5000 souls, when the gold ran out, so did the people. What remains is a hodgepodge of historic buildings, weather-beaten houses and mobile homes, a small museum, and the social center of town, the No Scum Allowed Saloon. There wasn't much of anything to see here at this time of year, and unless you're in the mood for a cold beer at the No Scum Allowed, we can't recommend going out of your way to visit.
That's it for this week, stay tuned for our next entry, the All-Billy-the-Kid Blog!

Artist: Jacco Gardner
Song: Where Will You Go
Recorded at The Garrison, October 22, 2013.Jacco Gardner - Where Will You Go
Full review to follow. I didn't really know much about Jacco Gardner, making his first trip over from The Netherlands to these parts, but there was enough excitement amongst some folks I know to make it worth taking a flyer on. Hyped for his psychedelic sounds, what struck me most was how he was fusing that with the bright sheen of contemporary Scandinavian pop — the strongest impression that the songs left was one of, say, Radio Dept. covering "See Emily Play".

I have some free time this afternoon. Just enough to put this issue behind me.
So, I get this question all the time. Actually, I've gotten it maybe once in the past five years. It could be somebody once asked me this question, and if they did not they should have. Here's the question:
If there is no life after death, then life has no meaning. What's the purpose of striving year after year only to end up dead?
In this exchange I typically get the argument:
Life only has meaning if there is life after death, and this confirms the existence of a loving God who cares for us and monitors our every action.
OK, I have to say that argument is just overwhelming and should be accepted out of hand, because it explains everything so well, and its logic is inescapable. Except…
Except it violates any number of well established facts and because it is rife with logical flaws:
1. Nobody, and I mean no body, has ever observed life after death. If life after death were real, then it's amazing that after thousands of years of human history during which life after death was expected to occur every day, no dead person has subsequently ever shown any signs of life.
2. Belief in life after death is part of belief in the existence of God, so it's a logical fallacy to use one to support the other.
So, since I reject the conjecture of life after death I am challenged to explain human initiative and longing if everybody knows that at the end it will be just lights out and nothing more. That explanation I expect to provide without introducing needless logical failures and without violating any known facts.
In short, the answer is Darwinian evolution—descent with modification facilitated by natural selection. Our mental instinct to strive is essential to successful reproduction. Individuals possessing this mental attribute obtained it through their genome, and their genes come to predominate in the population. Conversely, individuals without the instinct to strive are less likely to pass their genes into subsequent generations. That explains the instinct to strive independent of the expectation of some distant reward.
This decouples the existence of the "human spirit" from the inevitability of extinction, death. A person cares for his well-being and that of his family, because the need for immediate reward is built into his person, sourced from his genome. The future advent of death is disregarded until it cannot be avoided.
I had supposed there was a Douglas Adams quote to the effect: "Your mission in life is to have a good time." However, I can't find it, so anybody who wants credit for it can claim it, but you might have to deal with Douglas Adams, but only after you are dead.
So, if the goal is to live for the present, then what is the motivation for morality? The short answer is that in modern society morality usually increases the time you spend having a good time. Some crooks live a life of luxury while leeching off society, but life for the average miscreant is "lonely, brutal and short." Bernard Madoff may be an exception.
However, it's difficult to convince most people of this simple principle, so we have invented God and life after death and priests and popes and nuns and visions of 72 virgins to ensure we keep daily to the purpose at hand. I know many people who live exemplary lives without the breath of eternal damnation at their ear. These people are the real moral exemplars.

Hi Family and Friends!
How is everyone? Good, I hope! I've been pretty good, for the most part! Toward the end of this past week, I was feeling great! Had my pain under control, hadn't had any bleeds ... until the early hours of Saturday morning. I had asked Mark on Friday night, to put some ointment on the outer rim of my ear and on that little flap over the earlobe, because it was all getting so dry. I had gotten up about 3:30am and I like to check in the bathroom mirror, to make sure my hair isn't all sticking to the ointment. I remember having a good laugh, because our puppy Hanz had gotten loose from his cage he sleeps in, and had dragged 3 different shoes of mine and some socks into a little pile in the hallway - even one of Saba's little socks! Anyway, I had "dabbed" some of the ointment from my ear w/a q-tip and some of the scab had come off - actually an area of scab that I wished hadn't come off and I feared might bleed later. I went back to bed, hoping for the best ... and a few hours later, I felt like I had just started bleeding. Sure enough, I sat up and yelled to Mark that I was bleeding to get up and help me! I headed toward the kitchen sink and I had grabbed a tissue somewhere and was putting it on my ear and the blood was just flowing! I hollered at Mark to hurry w/the wound care bag and by this time the entire front of my pink nightgown was red with blood! I couldn't find a mirror to see where I needed to put pressure to stop the bleeding. Turns out, I wasn't bleeding from my ear, but from the wound on my face! Once Mark brought me a mirror, I pulled the dressing from my face and could see the blood just gurgling out in a thick flow from the top of the wound on my face! I was finally able to grab a wet paper towel and put pressure on my face to stop the bleeding! By this time, I was almost sliding on the floor in the pool of blood I was standing in! Mark could not believe how much blood was everywhere! He had to help me off w/my nightgown that was soaked completely and get that started soaking in the wash! I really needed to have gotten in the shower to get all the blood off my legs and feet, but @ 6am all I could think about was getting back to bed! I "checked" to see how I was doing by moving the paper towel I had been holding to my wound - and after a couple of times that I could see I was still gushing, it was finally just a fine stream of spray, so I knew the bleeding would be stopping soon! With Marks help, I got cleaned up enough and he got the wound redressed so go back to bed! After getting some more sleep, I got up, took a shower and we headed out to see Celia. She and her housekeeper were cleaning Gregs office (their regular clean up crew was out of commission). Celia had been worried about Hanz - he had been sick but was now 100% better! After visiting w/Celia, we headed to Petsmart to pick up some items for Hanz and then headed to Moms! Hadn't been over in a couple of weeks and she and Vicente needed Marks help w/a couple of things! We stayed for dinner and played a full game of Mexican Train! Hanz was so good the entire visit! He loved running around moms back yard! See photos!
Wish me luck - Monday morning will be my first time ever to have Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment @ Spohn Hospital! I had never heard of this treatment, but my BFF Shalon told me about it and had it done herself! (For more information on Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment, check out Shalons web site @: (http://sites.google.com/site/shalonsavm/Home). Hopefully, I will be allowed to take some photos and I'll post those soon! Mark took the day off to help me through this the first time, so I feel as safe as I can! Mark is the only one that can get any situation I have under control immediately, so we'll see how I do! I also have a CT Scan tomorrow afternoon. Apparently a chest x-ray I had done showed a "spot" that the radiologist wanted checked out to make sure we could rule out any problem. Here's hoping it was just "one of those things" and nothing more! Will keep you updated, so please check back!
Love all of you for all your wonderful love, support and prayers! We're all on this journey together!
Hugs & Love,
Mark & Cyndi Schuman

School Dogs
Our school dogs Gilbert and Jacq
Gilbert and Jacq, our school dogs, have been part of our school for a while now. Gilbert is a loving, friendly chocolate Labrador who is classed as a member of staff at our incredibly, amazing school. Jacq is a greyhound. Her colour is called 'blue'. She is a lovely, calm dog with a kind temperament. Gilbert loves chasing balls and Jacq loves chasing Gilbert!
Since Jacq and Gilbert have been at our fabulous school, the children's good behaviour has increased because they both have a unique way of bringing children with everyday difficulties outside their shell and letting their good side shine. If a child is feeling emotional they can visit Gilbert or Jacq to relieve anxiety and potential stress. Also if a class' behaviour has been exceptionally high, Gilbert or Jacq will come up to that specific class (as a reward) and in some of the mornings, the dogs will listen to some of the children read. They can get even reluctant readers to read! Another thing is that every lunchtime, children can join Mr Hawkins as he walks Jacq around our massive field. They try to race Jacq, but she's just too fast!
I would highly recommend getting a school dog to all primary schools. Thank you for reading.

Every few days (it seems like at least) there is a report / study / survey / commentary / sermon / rant / prophetic word / gut feeling that people are giving up on church in large numbers. Here is the latest one (HT Jesus Creed). This has been going on for quite some time. I don't doubt the numbers and it is fairly obvious to the casual observer of American culture that this is, in fact, happening. As someone who has been watching this for a long time, I am not alarmed, dismayed, and certainly not surprised. However, I continue to be troubled. Not because people have given up attending church services. But because a generation has been sold a false bill of goods.
In my last post I talked about how easy it is to base a church's life and ministry on "taking a stand". This is a dangerous place to be and can suck the life out of even the most vibrant communities. The simple fact is, God did not wire the church to take on the culture in some kind of direct frontal assault. He actually never asked us to take on the culture at all. If anything, the image the New Testament paints is of a Spirit-filled, cross-bearing, underground family of subversives. In an article I wrote a few years ago, I described how a church like this would approach its mission:
"The Subversive Community's mission is not to bring the kingdom of God from without; it is to release the kingdom of God from within. Subversives do not "reach outside people and encourage them to come in." Subversives live and do their work 'undercover' where the world lives and breathes. Their goal is not escapism (trying to build a Christian utopia), but to show people how they can lay hold of life as God intended, in his Kingdom."
The startling thing about the rise of the "nones" is that they are not going to return to church if somehow churches make their services more relevant. They also won't return just because our theology is more inviting or inclusive. Quite simply, the ship has sailed on institutional Christianity's position of influence to a large portion of the population. Again, this should not be a shocking revelation to any Christian who has had their eyes open in recent history. But it should have caused us to ask deeper questions than what kind of music we should play for worship or if we should have a Saturday night service to attract a younger crowd.
Full disclosure here: I am committed to a way of "doing church" that I feel best suits the place that God has called me and my family to live. You could call it simple church, organic church, home-grown-on-the-farm-church – whatever, pick your poison. In essence, we have chosen to worship in a way that strips back a lot of organizational fluff so we focus on the essentials. What are our essentials you ask? Well, here is a list we come back to again and again:
Worship – bringing glory to God and receiving his love in return.
Care – living by the Golden Rule. Love God, love your neighbor as yourself.
Discipleship – following Jesus together. Giving away what we have received.
Mission – making the world a better place. Building for the Kingdom.
Fun – enjoying ourselves along the way. We NEED to have fun.
It is amazing what can be accomplished by a relatively small group of people with limited time and resources if, as they like to say in AA, you keep the main thing the main thing. I believe the answer for the church's next season will be found in returning to the beauty and simplicity of the Way of Life Jesus gave us. There is incredible diversity to be found in this Way. It will look very different from place to place (which I believe is an important challenge to the American tendency to franchise "success," but that is fodder for another post.) But where the life of the Kingdom is concretely practiced by people who profess Jesus as Lord, there WILL be tangible fruit. It cannot be otherwise.
My response when people walk away from church en masse is to ask, "How have we not been living out the real thing?" This is the only response that honors the fact that the Holy Spirit is constantly at work in the world. As has been said so many times, our only job is to find out what he is doing and join in.
Maybe God is trying to tell us something: "I've been at work all around you in places you would never expect me to be. But you have been so busy playing church, that you forgot how to see me outside of a church service. Wake up! Take notice! Throw off your comfortable routines and empty traditions. Seek out and find me with the broken, the hurting, the sick, and the lonely. Find me talking with your atheist friend. Find me spending time with your shut-in neighbor. Find me sharing a drink with your blasphemous co-worker. I am there."

Develop and enhance the care we give
Helping us to test and develop ideas for new ways of working
Emergency care is changing, and more and more people want to be looked after in their own home rather than being rushed to hospital – if the care we can give them is safe and appropriate. Our paramedics are ideally placed to provide the kind of interventions at home that might stop someone needing to be rushed into A&E and admitted into hospital.
The sorts of things your support could help us do:
- With your help we could test new ways to train and support our staff, so that they are better able to help people who are at the end of their lives to make the choices that will enable them die at home. 70% of us want this, but half of us still die in hospital. With your help we can equip our staff to give more people the end of life experience that they want.
- With your help we could provide much better support to the 2000 or so patients in our region who call 999 or 111 regularly –often several times in a single day . This can lead to delays in answering calls from other patients and ambulances being despatched when they are not really needed, making them unavailable to patients in real crisis. Your donation could help the Trust work with its partners in the NHS to test ways in which these patients can be given the intensive 1:1 ongoing support they really need to manage their conditions, freeing up our call centre staff and ambulances to attend to those who face a time critical , life threatening emergency.
State of the art equipment
Giving our staff access to state of the art equipment
Our ability to provide life saving care is increasingly dependent on our ability to make sure our staff have access to all the latest technology. The NHS funds us to make sure everyone has the basic tools they need to do their jobs, but with your help we could give our staff access to state of the art equipment that would enable them to provide even better care to patients.
For example:
- £1000 would enable us to give a care home the equipment they need to enable our clinicians to see their patients over a video link up, reducing the need for frail and vulnerable older people to suffer the trauma of being taken to hospital in an ambulance when an emergency happens.
- £12,000 would enable us to install a mechanical cardiac compression unit on an ambulance, freeing up the paramedic who would otherwise be administering CPR manually to deliver additional interventions for the patient, whilst they are being conveyed to hospital.
Research projects
SCAS wants to go on improving patient care and patient experience , and research plays a pivotal role in both these areas. Research gives us the chance to develop new and better care, based on sound evidence – it gives patients the chance of a safer and better outcome. Our ability to take part in this vital work is limited as we have to raise all the money we need to participate in research projects and to employ research staff.
With your help we could undertake more high quality pre-hospital clinical research to help inform future best practice for patients in need of emergency care from the ambulance service, including, for example, new techniques and protocols for patients who have had a heart attack, suffered a cardiac arrest or have had a stroke.
Training and development
Extra Education, Learning and Development
SCAS is committed to providing all its staff with excellent access to the education, learning and development opportunities they need to enable them to deliver first class care and to develop their careers. However the money we get from the NHS for this doesn't enable us to meet some of the extraordinary development goals that our staff set themselves.
With your help we could, for example:
- Invest in further development of our education facilities – so that we can harness the latest technologies, including state of the art simulation, to help us train our crews.
- Support emerging leaders to develop their career aspirations through participation in national and international programmes of development.
- Go even further to support the mental health of the staff who are there to support all of us in moments of crisis and trauma 24/7.
Improvements to working environments
Our staff provide an outstanding service to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – whether they are answering 999 and 111 calls, driving patients to medical appointments or attending the scene of an emergency. They all work in highly stressful situations and environments – and if we could improve their working environments we could improve the care they give to patients. The NHS funds us to provide accommodation and basic office equipment, but your donation could make a real difference to the working lives of the men and women who work so hard to get help to you when you need it:
For example:
- £300 would enable us to buy a new sofa for the crew room
- £50 would fund new equipment for a station kitchen.

Cameron: Man or mouse? Man - and butcher!
By Paul Goodman
Follow Paul on Twitter
A list of nearly the whole new Government has now been published:
- Cameron the butcher: The official list shows 26 Commons Ministers as having been fired. That's roughly a third of the Tory total. So the answer to the question "Cameron - man or mouse?" is: man & butcher.
- There's blood on the floor in the Whips Office: James Duddridge, Michael Fabricant, Brooks Newmark, Angela Watkinson and Bill Wiggin are gone. (Fabricant and Watkinson left voluntarily, as perhaps did others. Only John Randall, Robert Goodwill and Greg Hands stay.
- Some of the sackings are suprising: Crispin Blunt, say, and Gerald Howarth were expected to go. But Tim Loughton, who knew his brief backwards? Charles Hendry, ditto? James Paice? Nick Gibb? In a lot of Ministries, tyros, will replace experts.
- The Prime Minister brings back the political knighthood to ease the pain: It's Sir Gerald Howarth, thank you. And Sir James Paice and Sir Edward Garnier. Fleet Street won't like it. And hey, Dave! Why isn't it Sir Dominic Grieve and Sir Oliver Heald for your law officers?
- Has he done enough for the older intakes? Stephen Hammond from the 2005 intake goes to transport and Mark Simmonds from 2001 flies first-class to the Foreign Office. Andrew Murrison goes to defence. Greg Knight returns to the Whips Office for Maastrict Revisited.
- Only three backbench new boys make the cut... That's Matthew Hancock, who almost counted as a PPS, Dr Daniel Poulter and Brandon Lewis, who goes to CLG. Mr Lewis is a former leader of Brentwood Council and old chum of top chum Eric Pickles.
- ...And no new women Ministers join Tuesday's "Gang of Four". That's to say, Helen Grant, Elizabeth Truss, Esther McVey and Anna Soubry. But Nicky Morgan and Karen Bradley go to the Whips Office: that latter move means a 1922 Executive by-election.
- It's not a good sign that some MPs turned down jobs. According to the Times (£), Dominic Raab, Ben Wallace and Rob Wilson wouldn't go to the Whips' Office. (Will the Prime Minister appoint another PPS to work with Sam Gymiah?)
- The revenge tragedy? Inevitably, some of the sacked Ministers are seething. No less so, not all the former Shadow Minister PPS's have become Ministers and most of the 2010 intake are still backbenchers. And the ex-whips will know where all the bodies are buried...
- And finally...Why are there now no Liberal Democrats at the Foreign Office and Defence? Do they know something we don't? Jolly unhelpful to the Coalition Government, you know, if Israel bombs Iran, to have no LibDems taking departmenal responsibility for decisions...

Hello and welcome to my blog! This is my first official post!!! Today I am sharing with you a cake box that I've created in SCAL2. I decided to enter it in the SVG Cuts Valentine challenge. I had such great feedback from SVG Cuts Facebook followers, and many requests to share the file. So I thought the easiest way would be to create a blog. I have been putting that off for so long but I finally caved! Not sure how often I will be posting... life is so crazy busy right now!
- If you choose to download all I ask is you become a follower.
- Note my files are for personal use only! (Personal use means... only for you to use (no trading, or sharing of my files... let me do that!)
- If you want to share, send your friends over to my blog for the download.
- I'm OK with people sharing my files on their own sites as long as there is a direct link back to this blog...Give credit where credit is due! (a message to me would also be appreciated)

Captain Fantastic is a comedy/ drama about this unique family. Led by their father (Viggo Mortenson), they must travel out of their home in the forest in the Pacific Northwest to go to their mother's (Trin Miller) funeral. Their kids are learning at their own pace about philosophy, critical thinking, and surviving in the wilderness. How will they adapt to the everyday life? All the kids are facing their own problems as they leave their homes. Bodevan (George MacKay) is deciding if he needs to go to college. Kielyr (Samantha Isler) and Vespyr (Annalise Basso) are deciding how to live in this new world. Rellian (Nicholas Hamilton) is deciding if he's weird and needs to live somewhere else. Zaja (Shree Crooks) and Nai (Charlie Shotwell) are just learning about the world.
This film has two acts to it. The first act is all about the kids and their father, Ben. The second half goes more into the intricacies of their situation and is more heartfelt. The first act is more comical and shows some of the odd ways that they do things out in the wild. The combination of the two is fascinating since there is no real three act structure. The unfortunate part of this film is that the first act is superior to the second which makes the film feel off balance and incomplete. The pacing towards the end got heavily condensed and the viewer can see that pretty easily.
The first half of this film is amazing. All the kids' unique personalities come out and you can see all of them adapting to their home in the forest. They each possess different skills and have superior strength to the other kids. One of the best parts of the film is when Ben takes the kids to his sister's (Kathryn Hahn) house and Zaja (one of the youngest) outsmarts her two sons (Elijah Stevenson & Teddy Van Ee) on the Bill of Rights. Not only does she have it memorized, but she can provide analysis on the situation. It was one of those moments where you can see director Matt Ross' message coming across. He shows off the broken nature of the school system so eloquently. There was no line that was completely obvious and misplaced.
The second half of the film struggles as it tries quickly to form sincerity. I count the second half starting when Bodevan makes a move with this girl he just meets. It shifts the focus from the kids being intellectual savants to being cast-out weirdos. It also shifts the blame of the mom's death to Ben. Ben, who has acted like a hero this whole film, now becomes the villain. It shapes the way that we see Ben. The death of his wife comes full circle as we learn about her problems and how he tried to fix it. We know the result, but we don't want to believe it. We don't want it to be true. The problem is that 45 minutes of action happens in 15 minutes, so it's hard to relate to the problems until way after the film has concluded. I was happy that I was still thinking about the film, but I wish it would've gone on for a bit longer.
Viggo Mortenson is fantastic (no pun intended) in this film. He leads the film and he has no problem being the center of attention. His performance was organic and genuine. I was so surprised by how much I loved him in this film. He truly commands the film and acts like a captain (again no pun intended). I would watch an entire TV show with this cast because of how well they connected.
Overall, I would highly recommend this film. I think it has heart and it has guts. It says things that others don't want to talk about or mention. It attacks the school system, but more importantly, it attacks the way we think and I think that's the greatest message of all. It inspires you to be challenged and that's a feeling that not many movies can give.
