Julia Bradbury said today; I am very concerned about these allegations. Although I have not been contacted by the police I understand that my Virgin Atlantic account details have been passed over to the authorities as part of an internal fraud investigation at the airline regarding frequent flyer miles. I understand that my name appears on a list that includes several Virgin passengers with discrepancies in their frequent flyer statements. I have done nothing wrong and will of course willingly cooperate with any enquiries. I have asked the BBC to take time off from my presenting duties on Watchdog until the matter has been resolved.

The producers of Hairspray and High School Musical, Stage Entertainment, have hired Taylor Herring PR for a 6 month campaign to promote a brand new West End production of Sister Act.
The agency has been tasked with handling all digital activity, raising general awareness and driving ticket sales for the show. In addition to a broad social networking campaign the agency will target the Twitter community by equipping cast members with Twitter profiles and encouraging fan interaction and communication.
Key activity is to include tapping into existing musical fan communities and building an early buzz via a drip-feed of news, images, and video material to relevant online media.
In addition, the firm, which currently represents musical theatre figures including Andrew Lloyd Webber and Oliver! leading lady Jodie Prenger, will handle personal PR for Patina Miller, the actress who landed the lead role of Deloris Van Cartier, the iconic character originated by Whoopi Goldberg.
Patina will make a series of public appearances and participate in key print and broadcast interviews in the run up to making her West End debut this summer. Whoopi, meanwhile, who will be co-producing the show, flies into the UK in April for the first time in a decade.
Taylor Herring will also devise and execute a series of media events that will spark Sister Act fever across the capital, as the 1992 movie starring Whoopi Goldberg transfers from the big screen to the stage, with a fresh musical score and an updated plot to re-capture the imaginations of a 21st Century audience.
Sister Act opens at the London Palladium from June 2009, with previews starting on 7th May. The stage version boasts a new score written by Alan Menken, whose credits include Little Shop of Horrors, The Little Mermaid and most recently the hit movie Enchanted.

...or, making strong 3-D spiky things in polymer clay. This figure would stand about 8 inches in stocking feet. She flew to her new home via eBay, arriving undamaged.
My motto: Look like a butterfly, ship like a tennis ball.
To achieve this, one first needs a strong material. Amongst polymer clays, I recommend Kato Polyclay, Classic Fimo and Puppen Fimo. I understand Cernit is also quite strong, but I've not worked with it. No doubt there are others: experiment, and check out the enormous polyclay reference site, Glass Attic:
To test clay strength, I roll little 'snakes' (worms, if you prefer) as thin as my thinnest planned finger, tail, or other appendage, and bake them thoroughly. Then I set about bending and snapping them. Most informative. And I always make sure to cure a clay as long and hot as the manufacturer suggests. Under baked polymer clay is like ceramic greenware -- very fragile. Kato clay and the Fimos mentioned above all take long, repeated baking very well, though there may be some colour shift. Again, experiment.
Armatures: I armature everything, including fingers (many achieve beautiful fingers without armature, but... well, I need something to press against). Overall, an armature strengthens and supports, and in these winter faeries, each protrusion is built over wire. I now use a gold-plated or gold-filled wire, as this seems to help prevent verdigris. And for a tiny critter, it's not too expensive.
To help the polymer clay adhere to the wire, I paint it with Gem-tac glue. That's a white glue, that happens to be particularly good a clinging to nonporous surfaces. Sobo would do as well, if you can get it to cover the wire. I let the glue dry on the armature. The polyclay adheres well with dried white (PVA) glue.
Another good armature material: Aves Apoxie Sculpt, Fixit or Fixit Sculpt. Read about them at the Aves site: http://avesstudio.com/
I'm partial to the Fixit Sculpt. I cover an armature with it, then coat it with a PVA glue, as above. The polymer clay adheres well, is supported during baking, and, thus far, I've not had cracking problems (I watched for this, given the possibility of varied shrinking/cooling rates).
But enough for now. E-mail me if you have a question about this, and, despite cultivating a fashionable degree of ADD, I'll aim to answer! Soon. Really.

#j20artstrike - It matters to us
Although we do not operate out of one single space, Big Bad Bettie Press will be closed on January 20th & 21st as part of the nation-wide #j20artstrike. We stand in solidarity with the brave voices and peaceful protesters fighting back against sexism, racism, and xenophobia expressed by the president-elect and his incoming administration.
"Like any tactic, it is not an end in itself, but rather an intervention that will ramify into the future. It is not a strike against art, theater, or any other cultural form. It is an invitation to motivate these activities anew, to reimagine these spaces as places where resistant forms of thinking, seeing, feeling, and acting can be produced." - J20 Art Strike website
Big Bad Bettie Press invites our supporters to join us in peaceful demonstration on January 20th & 21st and to not continue business as usual.
With love,

ST. LOUIS — Scientists say they've identified a gene that appears to be linked to both alcoholism and depression, a finding that may one day help identify those at higher risk for the diseases and guide new treatments.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Previous studies of twins and adopted siblings have suggested there likely are genes in common underlying alcoholism and depression, and that the two disorders seem to run in families. But the lead researcher of the new study says this is the first report of a specific gene that seems to increase risk for both disorders.
"Clinicians have observed a connection between these two disorders for years, so we are excited to have found what could be a molecular underpinning for that association," said Alison Goate, the Washington University School of Medicine researcher who led the study.
Follow-up research might help reveal the underlying biology that makes some people susceptible to alcoholism, others to depression, some to both diseases, and others to neither. Goate says a variation or alteration of the CHRM2 gene influences those four separate conditions.
The study is published in the September issue of the journal Human Molecular Genetics.
"What you want is to see someone obtain the same results in an independent study," said Goate, a psychiatric geneticist.
Target for new drugs
Goate said the researchers will know in a few weeks whether they can replicate the finding from another group of people they're studying.
Peter McGuffin, a psychiatric geneticist at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College in London, said that if Goate's finding holds and is replicated by others, it will provide another potential target for developing new drugs to treat depression and alcoholism.
McGuffin, who said he is working "feverishly" on the genetics of depression, said it is the first time this particular gene has been implicated. He said probably multiple genes are involved in these two disorders.
Alcoholism affects 7.9 million American adults, and 18.8 million suffer from depression, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Goate's team analyzed DNA from 2,310 people from 262 families in which at least three members were alcoholic. Some individuals in these families were also depressed alcoholics. Both groups had similar distinguishing characteristics in their DNA in a region on chromosome 7. Participants with both maladies were most likely to have the genetic similarity.
Within that region of the chromosome, researchers isolated the CHRM2 gene, which is involved in attention, learning, memory and cognition. Goate's team found the gene was strongly associated with both alcoholism and depression. The association was strongest in those with both disorders, suggesting it's a susceptibility gene that puts people at risk for developing both diseases.

My oldest son, asked me last winter if I could make jeans for him for work. He is working with my husband in his carpentry business. My son is a firm believer in keeping the United States economy strong by buying American. He has gone on-line and purposely paid more because a product is made in America.
So, he said he'd rather pay me to make him jeans than some one else. I said I could and we started on New Years day, I believe. I know it was a holiday and everyone was home and a lot of children were helping on that first day. I started with a pair of twill pants, kind of like carpenter pants weight twill. We cut apart a pair of his old jeans, actually we seam ripped them. In order to have the pattern pieces.
I did not quite understand the front pockets, so I just made patch pockets for the front. My 15 almost 16 year old son, asked to help top stitch the back pockets, he did an excellent job. Boys and machines!!! So, the first pair worked out, I used the same zipper from the old pair of jeans, they fit well. Until, I washed them they shrunk about 9″ in the length. My 14 year old son is wearing them now. 🙂
In the spring I got to the denim, kind of dreading it because it is 10 oz HEAVY weight stuff. I didn't want to kill my machine. We got denim needles and good heavy thread. But, my upper scale, older model esante just didn't appreciate those places, like the crotch where you are sewing 4 layers of denim. After lots of breaking needles and skipping stitches I put them away. I got them out a little later in the spring and tackled the zippers with Victoria's help, I posted earlier about that. Yesterday, I took a deep breath and said I am finishing these jeans today or else! I've got to get them out of my drawer. I pulled over a basic machine and it did a good job on the crotches. The belt loops are very thick also. But going slowly, it did fairly well. Not as nice as I would like to see it but they are done! Yea! And when he got home he tried them on and he likes them!
Yea!!! And he wore them to his piano lesson yesterday evening! Yea!!
I told him I would make him more IF he got maybe 8 oz. denim, in order to save my machines. 🙂
We are going to do a scrappy tiered skirt tutorial next. Happy sewing!!!
They are definitely not Levi's but, with some more practice I hope to do better 🙂

In relation to the history of the Moors in Europe, the Moors were looked down upon as with Desdemona's father looked down on Othello. Moor's were seen as being barbaric and ruthless warriors. Only bred for being ruthless warriors and nothing else. That is why it is so profound that Desdemona is so undeniably in love with Othello and will do whatever it takes to be with him, even turn her back on her own family...

Dr. Karl G. Henize, a senior space agency scientist and the oldest American astronaut to travel in space, died of respiratory failure on Tuesday while trying to ascend Mount Everest, officials here at the Johnson Space Center announced on Friday. He was 66.
Dr. Henize, who was on leave from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, died at a base camp in China, said Jeff Carr, a NASA spokesman. He was buried on the mountain, as he had wished, Mr. Carr said.
Born in Cincinnati in 1926, Dr. Henize (pronounced HEN-eyes)received a bachelor's degree in math and a master's degree in astronomy from the University of Virginia. He received a doctorate in astronomy from the University of Michigan in 1954.
Before joining the space program, he had an extensive career as an astronomer at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and as a professor at Northwestern University. In 1951, at an observatory in Bloemfontein, South Africa, he discovered the third nova, or exploding new star, ever found in the Magellanic cloud. Oldest American in Space
While still at Northwestern, he was in charge of experiments conducted during the Gemini 10 flight in 1966 to photograph ultraviolet rays from four stars. He was selected as a scientist-astronaut by NASA in 1967 and was a member of the support crew for the Apollo 15 mission in 1971.
His only mission was in 1985, when at 58, he became the oldest American to fly in space, participating in the Spacelab-2 mission aboard the space shuttle Challenger. He was responsible for testing and operating the instrument pointing system, operating the robot arm and several scientific experiments.
Dr. Henize retired from the astronaut program in 1986, but continued his work for NASA as a senior scientist in the Space Sciences Branch at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
In 1968, he received the Robert Gordon Memorial Award and in 1974, the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal.
Dr. Henize, an avid mountaineer, had climbed Mount Rainier in Washington in 1991.
He is survived by his wife, Caroline, four children and a brother.

By Cheryl Rodewig, The BayonetAugust 22, 2012
FORT BENNING, Ga. (Aug. 22, 2012) -- Passersby on Edwards Street may notice something new on the Fort Benning landscape. An abstract metal sculpture of a paratrooper with an open parachute was installed this summer on Eubanks Field.
The sculpture originated with an idea from Sgt. 1st Class Paul Hart, Tower Branch chief, who wanted a paratrooper -- a structure measuring 4 to 5 feet tall -- outside his office to "enhance the branch."
Hart shared his idea with the welders in the maintenance department of 1st Battalion (Airborne), 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and one of them, retired Chief Petty Officer Rick William Allen, fashioned the artwork which now decks the Airborne field.
"When I walked in there a week and a half later, it was 16 feet tall and weighed 600 pounds," Hart said.
That was about three months ago.
Sgt. 1st Class Allen William Medley, who supervised the project, said the piece ended up so large because of the individual parts used.
"The pulley sheave for the head is one of the pulleys off of the 250-foot tower," said the maintenance chief. "The arms and the legs are PT platforms where an instructor would stand and give his presentation or talk to his class. The center of it is a light pole off of Ground Branch's structure that got cut down many years ago. The risers for that are pipes off one of our old vehicles that got turned in."
The rest is scrap metal.
Creating the framework from steel, which will rust quickly, gives it an aged look to help the sculpture blend with its historic surroundings, Hart said.
Its location was strategic as well, he said, particularly for tourists and family members towing cameras.
"If you want to take a picture during Tower Week, this is the place to do it," the NCO said. "You can get people coming off the 250-foot free tower, people coming out of the 34-foot tower, plus you get the Flying Boxcar -- the C-119 over there by the Airborne Walk -- all in the same picture."
When the new barracks are completed in 2015, they'll also be part of the panorama located behind the paratrooper.
Altogether, the sculpture is a "hallmark" of the Airborne School, Hart said.
"We take a raw recruit -- an Airman, a Marine, a Sailor or a Soldier, and we turn him into this: a combat multiplier for his unit," he said. "We give him the basic skills; we teach him how to don a parachute, safely exit out of an aircraft and land safely so he can continue on his mission."
Although the Jumper of Eubanks Field and similar names have been suggested, the statue doesn't have a title yet. Hart said the unit may add a memorial or quote at the base of the sculpture, but for now both the Soldiers in the battalion and visitors who photograph it during graduations seem to be happy with the creation.
For those who haven't seen it, Hart invites them to swing by. There's a parking lot off Edwards Street, between buildings 1256 and 1263 and near the intersection of Marchant Street, that is just steps away from the paratrooper.

While there are many miles of trail in New York, it is also important to forego all trails every once in a while and simply plot your own course through the woods. The southern Adirondacks provide abundant opportunities for the wilderness explorer to penetrate into nooks and crannies where few people ever go. Winter is an especially good time for this kind of travel, when snow blankets the underbrush and ice solidifies the running streams.
Here is a trailless route that offers several highlights: a secluded stream valley, a waterfall, an open wetland, and a small mountain with an open view as a destination. While there are easier ways to get the Southerland Mountain, this route from the north via Vly Creek Falls is one of my favorite Adirondack treks, and it makes for a more substantial day in the woods.
Getting There
From NY Route 30 in Wells, turn west onto Algonquin Drive beside the dam on Lake Algonquin. Then turn left onto West River Road at 0.7-mile, and continue southwest to Blackbridge at 2.4 miles. Turn left to cross the bridge over the West Branch Sacandaga River, and immediately bear left again on Hernandez Road. Follow this road to its end, which is a wide turn-around area.
Vly Creek Falls
From the end of plowing on Hernandez Road, two narrow tracks branch ahead into the woods; they form a 0.5-mile loop through the scrubby woods that now cover one of the farm sites.
To find Vly Creek Falls, follow the track to the right, which leads southeast along the foot of Devorse Mountain. At 0.2-mile you reach another fork located near an old sand pit, where you should bear right off the loop trail. This fork follows a lesser woods road past a "Wilderness Area" sign for 400 feet to the side of Vly Creek. If you step across the creek you may find the continuing footpath, which is not very distinct; lots of deer dwell in this valley, and the manmade trail may have to compete with their herd paths for your attention.
Now on the east side of the creek, follow the path upstream. The route rises gradually as the valley narrows between the mountains, so that soon you are high above the stream. You pass a rock ledge on the right shortly before reaching the top of the waterfall, only 20 minutes, and 0.7-mile from your car. To see it, however, you have to leave the path and scramble down the steep slope to the base of this pretty, 20-foot drop.
What makes this cascade distinctive is its orientation; rather than spilling over the headwall of the gully, it comes down one of the side walls. The flow of water in this stream is not that large, so the cascade may appear completely frozen in the winter.
Southerland Mountain
The route to Vly Creek Falls described above can also be the starting point for a longer bushwhack to Southerland Mountain. The open woods are a joy to navigate, and the route is suitable for summer hiking and winter snowshoeing alike.
Hike to the falls as outlined above, and then continue upstream along Vly Creek's east bank, passing a four-foot cascade within a few minutes. The faint path that guided you to the main waterfall does seem to continue alongside the creek, although you may swear – perhaps correctly – that it is only a deer trail. The valley opens up considerably above the falls, and it is forested with rich hemlock stands. Ultimately you reach the large vly that gives the creek its name, 0.7-mile south of the waterfall. Here, the weathered remains of dozens of white pines stand guard around the meadow, which permits views of the surrounding mountains and ridges. From this vantage, Southerland appears to be a series of steep-sided, spruce-covered peaks to the southeast.
The best views on Southerland Mountain are found on the southernmost of its three summits, and the best approach is to circle around the east side of the vly, keeping between Vly Creek and the mountain's western slopes. This course will bring you into the "crotch" between the main bulk of the mountain and its slender northwest-pointing arm. Look for the small stream that drains the notch between Southerland's middle and southern summits; this is the best "guiderail" to follow southeast up the rocky slopes. Once in the notch, continue climbing southerly up the hemlock-crowned southern summit, and look for the wide-open ledges that front its southern face, approximately two miles from the waterfall.
The rocks are richly carpeted with mosses and lichens that are too delicate to be stepped on, so move about on the bare patches to enjoy the views. The Groff Creek valley is clearly defined before you, and with the aid of a map you can easily identify Groff Mountain, Cathead with its fire tower, Wallace Mountain and Three Ponds Mountain at the head of Devorse Creek, and King Vly Mountain. A corner of Great Sacandaga Lake is also visible.
By backing away from the cliffs through the woods, and down a short grade back in the direction of Vly Creek, you may find a smaller ledge that extends the view to the west and northwest. Beginning with Wallace and Three Ponds, you can trace most of the Devorse Creek valley through the heart of the wilderness. Vly Mountain is visible just north of west, and Finch Mountain is the small, rounded mountain at the foot of the much larger ranges across the West Branch valley.
There may well be other views elsewhere on the middle summit, and if you have allowed yourself plenty of time, you will be able to vary your return route by following the ridgeline north before descending toward Vly Creek. Another option is to head in the opposite direction, descending toward King Vly and exploring what is essentially a small pond if the dam is intact. The bottom line is that this is a very fun area to visit for people who like to wander.

In many temperate zones, birds of the genus Regulus are among the first to arrive in spring and the last to pass through come fall. In North America, Ruby-crowned (Regulus calendula) and Golden-crowned (Regulus satrapa) Kinglets essentially herald both spring and winter. These "petty kings" are frenetic feeders that hop manically, often in mixed flocks, from branch to branch.
Spotting fall's last flight of kinglets often moves me to melancholy, or worse. A few years back, a Regulus rendezvous inspired me to pen a rather violent verse which was on the old blog but never made the migration to WordPress:
A kinglet is named for its crown,
Which can hardly be seen from the ground,
If the bird is above,
You can give it a shove,
And look at its dome while it's down!
It should go without saying that accosting kinglets is very bad form, as is my poetry!
That's not funny…
Or Haiku

Directed by Dome Karukoski | Finland/Sweden/Denmark/Germany/Iceland/USA | 2017 | 115 min
Finnish, German, and English, with English subtitles. Touko Laaksonen, a decorated officer, returns home after a harrowing and heroic experience serving his country in World War II, but life in Finland during peacetime proves equally distressing. He finds peace-time Helsinki rampant with persecution of the homosexual men around him, even homoerotic drawings of muscular men, free of inhibitions. His work - made famous be his signature 'Tom of Finland' - became the emblem of a generation of men and fanned the flames of a gay revolution.

According to the BBC, the Thames River last froze over completely in 1814. A five-day "Frost Fair" was held in its honor beginning on Feb. 1 , 1814. Other partial freezes have occurred since, the last and most notable being "The Big Freeze of 1963."
During the "Frost Fair" in 1814, oxen were grilled, drinks were consumed, dancing ensued and an elephant marched aside Blackfriars Bridge across the frozen Thames River. The river froze over at least 23 times from 1309 to 1814. The river was frozen solid enough to hold a "Frost Fair" five times, counting the one in 1814. When the Thames River froze over, this affected the livelihood of the watermen and lightermen who moved people and goods. To compensate for lost earnings, they organized the fairs, charging the renters and traders for ice access.

In the next few weeks we are all going to experience the 'shock and awe' of Microsoft's billion dollar marketing engine as it tries to convince us all that we should buy a Windows Phone. Some here at the Sinu office have been hearing me rant all year about the upcoming Windows Phones and how Microsoft will be going all in this year on Mobile and Windows 8.
As I am sure many people have said before, never underestimate someone who has nothing to lose. I would add that a company that faces the real chance of losing everything it has left is even more desperate and focused. Microsoft has always been at its best when it is up against the ropes. Apple, Google and the Cloud movement have all put Microsoft in a place where they had to slap themselves in the face and have a long hard look in the mirror. The result is a focus on the cloud and mobile like we have never seen before. Once Microsoft turns its planet-like machine onto another target, you do not want to be on the receiving side of that.
While I may be coming off as a Microsoft fan here, now that they are down and out maybe it is ok to root for them again. Apple and Google are at the top of their game and I think it is great that they have moved the whole industry forward so quickly and given companies permission to do things that Microsoft could never have been able to pull off. Apple has trained the world to get a new device yearly and both Apple and Google have made the world comfortable with closed incompatible systems that are vertically integrated and fed from The Cloud. Try to export a Google Map and you'll see what I mean.
Now let's get back to why one in four of your friends will have a Windows Phone in the next couple of years:
- Microsoft has done away with a dated concept of icons and folders. This is long overdue and many companies have been trying to get away from this concept and its limitations. Microsoft may have finally succeeded with its new UI concept code named Metro.
- Microsoft is basically running Nokia now, having implanted one of its own as its CEO. This is a great way to match up Google's acquisition of Motorola without all the messiness of a real acquisition. Nokia has dropped all its own mobile OS initiatives and is now all Windows Phone from what I can tell.
- Apple has peaked and while they will continue to dominate and have 50% of the market share of the mobile market, I see that market share holding steady.
- Android is too clumsy for most people. While it is great for technical folk, it is not buttoned up enough for the average person who likes the ease of use of iOS. Windows Phone will be even more buttoned up and easy to use than iOS and many people frustrated with Apple for various reasons will jump ship.
- Microsoft will put on a marketing blitz like you have not seen in a long time. Look at what they did with Windows 95, XBox and IE, tools for tech people. Now imagine what they can do for a consumer device. Every top agency in the world is salivating to get these campaigns. And soon you will see them everywhere.
So in the end I see Apple 50%, Android 25% and Windows Phone 25% in the new couple of years. This will be a good foothold on the billions needed to find their next big thing. This game is moving fast now.
Seems strange right now that people will use Windows Phones right? Let's see how this all pans out.

Among his many warnings about the rise of artificial intelligence, Elon Musk has said that autonomous machines are more dangerous to the world than North Korea and could unleash "weapons of terror." He has compared the adoption of AI to "summoning the devil."
Now the billionaire inventor and Tesla chief executive — who believes artificial intelligence could help trigger the next world war — has issued another severe warning about how super-intelligent machines could come to dominate the world. Those super computers could become "an immortal dictator from which we would never escape," Musk passionately warns in the new documentary "Do You Trust This Computer?"
[Elon Musk calls for ban on killer robots before 'weapons of terror' are unleashed]
In the documentary, directed by Chris Paine (the man behind 2006's "Who Killed The Electric Car?"), Musk joins a growing chorus of experts warning that intelligent machines are already fundamentally changing our society by amassing personal data, advancing science and medicine and beginning to create new forms of super intelligence.
"We are rapidly headed towards digital super intelligence that far exceeds any human," Musk says in the film, which premiered Thursday in Los Angeles. "I think it's very obvious."
The film features technology experts such as Google Brain founder Andrew Ng, Affectiva chief executive Rana el Kaliouby, Osaka University professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, OpenAI director Shivon Zilis and "Westworld" co-creator Jonathan Nolan. Artificial intelligence already helps us live longer and enhance efficiency in numerous industries, but these experts argue that humans are already losing their grip on the technology, giving it power and abilities that humanity may never be able to reclaim.
"The pattern here is that AI might take a little while to wrap its tentacles around a new skill, but when it does it is unstoppable," the film's trailer warns.
In recent years, Musk's warnings about the risks posed by AI have grown increasingly strident — drawing pushback last year from Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, who called Musk's dark predictions "pretty irresponsible." Responding to Zuckerberg, Musk said his fellow tech billionaire's understanding of the threat posed by artificial intelligence "is limited."
According to a report by Mashable, Musk was so intent on spreading his warnings about AI to the public that he paid for "Do You Trust This Computer" to be streamed free on YouTube over the weekend.
"It's a very important subject," he said at the film's premiere, according to Mashable. "It's going to affect our lives in ways we can't even imagine right now."

We all know and love a Winter Holiday advent calender, right? Right. But how about all the other fun month's?! Its such a tiny thrill to open little windows or look under little scraps of paper to see a tiny picture of something to celebrate every day. Why should December have all of the fun?? Look at this amazing Halloween advent calender that sisters, Julie and Charlotte, made! It makes me want to jump up and down, I love it so much. How about we make a summer version right now?? You could make this project easy or more involved, as you wish. Tiny stacked boxes filled with little flowers and bugs and summertime bits inside or just a grid with drawings and Post-It notes covering them up! Let's do it!

Here's a feature from today's i newspaper about the best jokes at this year's Edinburgh Fringe 2015. Enjoy…
Pun-loving comedian Darren Walsh has won the award for the funniest joke of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in his first full-length show.
Mr Walsh, a former animator, won the award for the line: "I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It's Hans-free."
While it is not his first time at the Fringe, Punderbolt is the 39-year-old's first full hour-long show at world's biggest arts festival.
"It's great and I wasn't expecting it so it's a real surprise," he told The Independent. "The award seems to be gaining traction. People are maybe appreciating one-liners and puns a bit more."
While his line won the top prize, he believes there are funnier jokes in his show. These include: "My cat is recovering from a massive stroke" and "Green men make me cross".
Mr Walsh gave up being an animator for advertising and education purposes to do comedy five years ago and has written more than 2,500 jokes since. "I cherry-picked a few for the show, and whatever topic the audience thinks I should joke about, I riff on that."
10 best Edinburgh jokes
1: Darren Walsh: "I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It's Hans-free."
2: Stewart Francis: "Kim Kardashian is saddled with a huge arse… but enough about Kanye West."
3: Adam Hess: "Surely every car is a people carrier?"
4: Masai Graham: "What's the difference between a 'hippo' and a 'Zippo'? One is really heavy, the other is a little lighter."
5: Dave Green: "If I could take just one thing to a desert island I probably wouldn't go."
6: Mark Nelson: "Jesus fed 5,000 people with two fishes and a loaf of bread. That's not a miracle. That's tapas."
7: Tom Parry: "Red sky at night. Shepherd's delight. Blue sky at night. Day."
=8: Alun Cochrane: "The first time I met my wife, I knew she was a keeper. She was wearing massive gloves."
=8: Simon Munnery: "Clowns divorce. Custardy battle."
10: Grace The Child: "They're always telling me to live my dreams. But I don't want to be naked in an exam I haven't revised for…"
There are also some awards for the 'least good' gags at the Fringe and most f them were rubbish but I kind of like this one from Lou Sanders …'What do honeymooners eat for breakfast? Wedded wheat. Boom boom.

USC: Are There Any Linebackers Left?
Whoever decided to put an injury hex on USC one position at a time has access to some seriously dark magic. Just as USC entered the season with a laundry list of high-powered running backs, only to see the pool quickly drain down to a puddle, the nation's best crop of linebackers has taken quite a weeding in the past few days. After the news of junior Brian Cushing's re-sprained ankle hit the team, true freshman Chris Galippo one-upped him on Wednesday.
Galippo earned a spot on the special teams squads as a true freshman, earning eight tackles in the 35-or-so plays he's participated in over three games this season. The 6-foot-2, 235-pound linebacker has been bothered by lower back pain since August, but the pain has elevated in the past few days. This week, Galippo was hurting so badly he could not sleep at night, and underwent an MRI and X-rays on Wednesday to figure out exactly what is wrong. Among the possibilities are an injury to his sciatic nerve and a herniated disc, but doctors will not know anything for sure utnil the test results come back.
Galippo will stay home on Saturday when the Trojans travel to Washington to take on the Huskies, and if the pain does not dull down, he may take a medical redshirt for the season. Surgery is also a possibility for the freshman, whose back troubles began in high school, but only flared up intensely this week.
Galippo joins a growing list of bruised and battered linebackers on the USC roster: Brian Cushing is fighting that sprained ankle, freshman Malcolm Smith has a hip injury that has kept him out of practice all week; Clay Matthews has a broken thumb and a hurt shoulder, but may have to play anyway.
Middle linebacker Rey Maualuga is healthy and will be expected to direct the defense as personnel shifts continue in preparation for Washington quarterback Jake Locker, a known dual threat behind center.
"Basically, everyone is moving around," Maualuga said.
Just as the Trojans' healthy tailbacks delivered performances good enough to keep USC at No. 1, expect the remaining linebackers to step up until the battered can heal.

Having made her mark on Brazil's rich musical legacy with three best-selling albums to date, Rio's original nu-bossa queen returns with a tour de force of golden-era Brazilian soul music. From the spiritual swing of the early pioneers of modern Samba, to the dizzying hedonism of Brazil's eighties disco/boogie craze, Clareia is a life-affirming journey through the rich and varied sounds Sabrina Malheiros has been immersed in since she can remember. For her most up-lifting and danceable album to date, Sabrina has (as always) enlisted her father Alex Malheiros - bassist of samba jazz-funk legends Azymuth ? and visionary London based producer Daniel Maunick (aka Dokta Venom), son of Incognito's Bluey.
Sabrina Malheiros' career has often been characterised by her place in the succession of those special Brazilian women who, with unmistakable talent and effortless grace, have encapsulated the magical energy of Brazil with their voices. "Elis Regina, Astrud Gilberto, and Joyce all had it, and Sabrina Malheiros has it in spades."(MOJO) With her debut album Equilibria in 2005, Sabrina arrived on a wave of instant acclaim, carving out her place as the pioneering voice of a new brand of Brazilian soul music, rooted in the traditions of samba and bossa, but with an edge of contemporary electronic sophistication. Sabrina's innovative nu-bossa sound would continue with the 2006 remix album 'Vibrasons' followed by sophomore 'New Morning' ? declared the "best album of summer 2008"(Evening Standard), before 2011's best-seller Dreaming.
Six years on, Sabrina returns with Clareia. "It means to clear, light, brighten or illuminate, which, after seeing Brazil and the rest of the world go through some very difficult times, is exactly what the writing of this album brought to my life." All tracks are written by either Sabrina, or in collaboration with her father Alex Malheiros and producer Daniel Maunick. Written and recorded in Niteroi, Brazil, overlooking Gunabara Bay and Rio's beaches, mountains and forests, the music basks in its surroundings and sings of ecological beauty, peace and sanctuary. Echoing Sabrina's emphasis on clarity, Alex notes that "the album's title represents an appeal to the minds of our civilization today, to clear our thoughts for good and for peace."
This pursuit of clarity continued into the studio: "It took a little longer than usual" notes Sabrina, "which was good in way, as all my previous albums were recorded in rush and we usually had a week for pre-production and another week in the studio, which always gave me the feeling that I could do better. With this album it was different? we took our time."
Sabrina's unmistakable voice has never sounded better. Packed out with high-octane swinging samba-soul, like the title-track and 'Salve O Mar', the album also features some bottom-heavy Brazilian boogie cuts, like rejoicing album opener 'Celebrar' which harks back to some of Marcos Valle's cult '80s disco output, and 'Sol Ceu E Mar' is a Tania Maria-esque future classic of scorching latin-funk. Mellower moments are found in 'Em Paz', on which Sabrina's beguiling harmonies find an anchor in the rhythmic acoustic guitar of Ze Carlos', who Sabrina heralds as being "the best guitarist I have ever worked with". Azymuth's keyboardist Kiko Continentino's deft Rhodes, piano, organ and synth playing, add ever more textures of distinctly Brazilian brilliance throughout, while tropical brass and flute arrangements on cool bossa-jazz movers 'Vai Maria' and 'Sandore', come from Brazilian saxophone legend Leo Gandleman, a man who has worked with everyone from Gal Costa to Gilberto Gil. The rhythm section combines Daniel Maunick's seamless drum programming and the organic polyrhythms of Brazilian percussion legend Jakare, all punctuated by Alex Malheiros' inimitable (occasionally slapped) jazz-funk bass, giving the album its irresistibly danceable pulse.
Set for release at the height of summer this year, Clareia is an intergenerational masterclass of Brazil's soulful spectrum, led by a pioneering voice of today's scene on the very top of her game. The up-lifting compositions, which take inspiration from the stunning natural beauty amongst which the album was made, and the call for the clarity of mind needed to preserve it, are enriched by this special team of some of Brazil's most established musicians. Like the sun breaking through tropical storm-clouds, Clareia is a vessel of joy, as Sabrina puts it simply, "I hope Clareia brightens the soul of whoever listens to it. That's the spirit of this album."

2017 Geoffrey Beene National Scholarship Finalists
Introducing Vivian Cooper, Philadelphia University
Major: Fashion Design
Hometown: Dunmore PA, right outside of Scranton… if you watch The Office!
What drew you to pursuing a career in fashion? My grandparents on my mother's side are both artists and my mom has always been extremely creative and artistic. Growing up surrounded by art lovers meant there was an abundance of art supplies, crafts, creativity and imagination. Somewhere along the line, I realized I had a deep passion for bringing joy through art, and that clothing was the way I wanted to do it. When I was in 6th grade, I got one of the paper doll books were you can design clothing, and I was hooked! Then I was gifted sewing lessons in 8th grade for Christmas and went on to sew all thought high school, designing and making all of my prom dresses.
What are some of the activities you are involved with on campus? On campus, I serve as a Producer on the board of FIA (Fashion Industries Association), the organization that produces the annual spring fashion show every year (one of the largest student run shows in the nation) as well as the Design X show featuring garments made from unconventional material. I'm also involved with Christian fellowship and outreach on campus, and lead a weekly women's bible study at PhilaU through my church.
Where you do you hope to see yourself after graduation? After graduation I can see myself employed in Philadelphia or New York City, (not opposed to the West coast), with a company that has a mission bigger than themselves. I crave to be in an environment with impassioned people who love what they do, and aren't just waking up and going through the motions to get to Friday. Ideally, a company that has their eyes on transparency, sustainability and innovation.
How do you hope to make an impact on the future of fashion? In everything I do in life, I strive to bring light and love. I want to impact this industry by bringing optimism and an outlook that helps me to see anything is truly possible when we work together for good.
As a previous winner of the $5,000 FSF Scholarship, what has been the most valuable part of the FSF program to you? The most meaningful part of winning the $5000 scholarship has been the connections and opportunities provided to me by the FSF. I am so thankful for the networking opportunities, and for the professionals who are all so invested in helping the scholars succeed.
What does winning a YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund Geoffrey Beene Scholarship mean to you? How will this scholarship help to support your dreams and career goals in the fashion industry? To win the Geoffrey Beene portion of this scholarship would be an incredible honor and blessing. It would show that all of the hard work, sleepless nights, and redoing was worth it. It would mean paying off a massive amount of student loans and after school expenses. It would also give me the change to give to those in need through charity. Finally, it would open up doors in the industry that many graduates only dream of. Money comes and goes, but the connections you make with people can last a lifetime.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes go walkies at the University of Limerick for charity
DOGS of all shapes and sizes including pretty Bichon Frises and hardy German Shepherds were taken on a one-hour outing around the grounds of the University of Limerick in aid of the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.
In the region of 120 walkers, aged from two years up to 82, took part in the family walk day on Sunday raising €650 for the national charity.
"It was well up on last year when we had about 25 walkers," explained Tom Ryan from Ballybricken, the organiser of the Limerick event who took part in the fundraising endeavour with his Labrador, Ben.
The walk which lasted between 45 minutes and an hour began at the new pavilion at the university grounds before travelling towards the river and then onto the boathouse.
"From there we walked back towards the campus, over the Living Bridge and back again to the pavilion," Tom explained.
"There was one man from Limerick who was blind. He was in his 60s or 70s and he walked with his wife and a guide dog. There was three or four guide dogs. It was good craic. We had coffees and teas in the pavilion afterwards," he added.
Lean Kennedy from Raheen - who spoke to the Limerick Leader last week about losing her sight - also took part in the walk with her guide dog, Murphy.
The money raised on the day will go towards helping Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind to train more puppies to become guide and assistance dogs of the future.
Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind would like to thank all the communities across the county who came out and supported the local dog walk and helped make it a huge success. "People braved the weather to join us and we really appreciate it, we have definitely built on last year's success and we are already looking forward to next year's event," says Sinead O'Keeffe, commercial manager with IGDB. There are currently 10,240 people registered as blind in Ireland, 389 of these are based in Limerick with just under 1% as guide dog owners. For more information on Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind please see www.guidedogs.ie or call 1850 506 300.

Here is what some of our media partners have to say about us.
Joanna Della Ragione
Kate is always a pleasure to work with on both a professional and personal level, whatever the occasion. Whether it's a last minute product call-in, a press trip or event, you can always be sure she knows exactly what's going on and the right course of action in any set of circumstances.
Marie Claire
Kate is easily one of the best PRs I've worked with. She's reliable, hard working, ALWAYS contactable and the perfect mix of professional and friendly. I'd wholeheartedly hire her and drag her over to the dark side (journalism) if I could, as she's an asset to any team. You'd be mad not to hire her. Stark raving bonkers, in fact.

HMS Caroline WWI warship to stay in Belfast
World War I warship HMS Caroline is to stay in Belfast and will be restored "to her former glory", Stormont's tourism minister has said.
There was controversy earlier this year over plans to move it to Portsmouth.
However, minister Arlene Foster has said the ship is to stay, adding "an important part of Northern Ireland's maritime history was secured".
She said the the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) had pledged £1m to help to restore the warship.
The announcement was made at the Imperial War Museums as part of a programme to mark the centenary of World War I.
HMS Caroline, the last surviving warship of the Battle of Jutland, has been berthed at Alexandra Dock in Belfast since 1923.
It is hoped that the restoration work will be completed by 2016, so the ship can be opened to the public in time for the centenary anniversary of the battle.
'National significance'
In June, the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) said it was planning to lift the vessel and move it to Portsmouth where it would be restored.
Days later, a campaign aimed at keeping the ship in Northern Ireland was officially launched.
Since then, Stormont's Department of Trade and Enterprise (DETI), headed by Mrs Foster, has been in talks with NMRN.
Speaking on Thursday, the DETI minister hailed the outcome of those talks as "great news" and said she was "very pleased that our collective efforts have played an important part in ensuring HMS Caroline's future is in Belfast".
Mrs Foster said the ship now had the potential to become a "must-see attraction".
"HMS Caroline is part of the fabric of Belfast and she is also an integral part of our maritime history," she said.
"The ship is of outstanding national significance and HMS Caroline has huge potential as a visitor experience as she is listed on the National Register of Historic Vessels."
In a joint statement issued through the Ministry of Defence (MOD) the NMRN said the warship's "natural home is Belfast".
NMRN's director general, Professor Dominic Tweddle, said: "While Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, which is the home of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, has the facilities for restoring vessels of such immense historic significance, we are very pleased that Belfast, to which the ship moved to from Portsmouth in 1924, will now provide a mooring in perpetuity for the much loved Caroline.
"We are grateful to the MoD for gifting the ship to us and to the Northern Ireland Department for Trade Enterprise and Investment for the spirit of partnership, the enthusiasm it has shown and the commitment it has made to the vessel's restoration and eventual presentation to the public."
The UK Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans, Mark Francois, said: "We are very pleased and relieved that the HMS Caroline position has been secured for future generations.
"This is one of the most historic fighting ships in the world, one which played a role in a battle which was decisive in the outcome of the First World War.
"It was critical that the ship was preserved and made accessible to the public."
Mrs Foster's department has set aside up to £100,000 this year for "remedial work" on HMS Caroline and is also in talks with the Heritage Lottery Fund.

[T]he post-Reformation intellectualist notion that types are simply symbolic forms slapped onto reality and designed to teach us things... [source]This he contrasts with his own approach, which he describes as:
[A] Vantillian and arguably pre-modern view that "typology" is a revelation of the meaning of human life as imaging the life of God [source]Of course, one can easily detect the polemics implied by Jordan's definitions here, but the fact remains that there are some substantial differences between the two. And, as Jordan alludes (to Van Til), to a large extent, I believe this has something to do with ontological assumptions about God, man, and revelation.
Now, to be frank, I learned typology from Peter Leithart and James Jordan (with some helpful direction by Alastair Roberts). To a large extent, I'm inclined to take their side in the matter. But I realize that their view is a more or less minority viewpoint, so I am suspending judgment on the matter, weighing the merits of both positions over the next year or so.

Rosini & Rosewood Neighborhood Rehabilitation Projects
OE provided design, construction management and inspection services to the City of Commerce on this CDBG-funded project. The project spanned 9,050 LF on Rosini and 5,125 LF on Rosewood and included both residential and collector streets. The scope included a variable 1.5-inch to 2-inch grind and overlay for much of the roadway, curb and gutter, 5,000 SF of sidewalk, grinding 52 panels of sidewalk, 716 LF of cross-gutter, replacing 20 ramps and upgrading 53 more to meet ADA compliance, adjusting 48 manholes, traffic loops, replacing 70 street signs and other related improvements. Some critical issues for the City were the ADA ramp compliance, dust control during the grinding operation, and school schedule coordination. OE reviewed all ramps in the field and specifically modified designs to ensure ADA compliance while maintaining pedestrian access to properties during construction. OE also coordinated closely with an adjacent school to schedule work to accommodate the school's schedule. By working closely with the City of Commerce throughout both design and construction, OE ensured their full satisfaction in the quality of our work, which ultimately led to the project completing within budget and ahead of schedule. The project required familiarity with CDBG and labor relations contract compliance. CDBG funding requires strict documentation of labor and fund allocations, in addition to strict contractor oversight to ensure Section 3 fair labor efforts are being implemented throughout the course of the project. OE has overseen many CDBG projects and has become quite familiar with how to manage these complex contracts.

Middle School
Global Impact STEM Academy...
will be opening a college ready middle school in the fall of 2017. Our middle school will incorporate inquiry-based learning into projects and real-world experiences. It is our hope that students will obtain a strong foundation of mastery and personalized learning while beginning a successful path of academic rigor. This will help prepare our learners to smoothly transition into our college ready high school program, better preparing them for real-world success.
At GISA Middle School, our curriculum and culture are based on the existing principles and vision of the high school. Our students will be take part in solving authentic problems, making connections with the professional world, and having voice and choice in their learning. Our students will explore the power of their voice, their choice, and their impact.
Our instructors design their own curriculum to help build skills and other competencies that are required in today's professional fields. We aim to give students opportunities to collaborate, explore, inquire, and create innovative projects that have a purpose and a life outside of the classroom. Through project-based interdisciplinary learning our students will be working to make an impact beyond their school. In our fully inclusive classes, students will be supported at their learning level to encourage them to reach their potential.
In this rigorous learning environment, students will potentially utilize personal technology as well as school issued devices for every student. Our learning management system, Schoology, will also help students monitor their progress as well as help families monitor the success of their student as they move toward mastery.
Real World Science and Exploration
To help foster an understanding and passion for the science curriculum offered at the high school, as well as the career fields that await them, our students will take an exploratory approach in their science courses. They will be exposed to the various fields of agriculture, environmental science, food science, and other important fields where they will be learning with purpose. Students will be able to work with professionals in these fields to begin cultivating their interests and understanding for the demands in the advanced careers that await them.
There's no need to worry about the transition to GISA Middle School. Beyond having the support of their teachers, our goal is to have incoming middle school students assigned to a trained student mentor from the upper class of GISA High School. Their aim for this mentor program is to help ensure a smooth transition and adoption of the school's culture and expectations.
High School Credit
GISA Middle School students will have the opportunity to acquire high school credit in humanities, mathematics, as well as health and PE courses. This will free up time during their high school years to do work outside of the school in a professional setting and engage in early college opportunities. Imagine leaving school during your junior and senior year to work in a science field that interests you!
Mastery/Competency Education
At GISA, we have a culture that appreciates the acquisition of skills and knowledge while celebrating student growth instead of focusing solely on grades. We offer our students the ability to master the content and polish the skills that they have learned along the way. This system creates a rich learning environment where students feel more empowered and confident in their learning.
Extra-Curricular and FFA/4H
Enrolling at GISA Middle School allows you to continue participating in many of the extra curricular activities at your district of residence. In addition, we also offer our own programs and extracurricular activities like band and choir and other programs based on student interest. Incoming middle school students will also be able to participate in FFA as well as 4H. GISA High School has already cultivated a rich tradition in these youth leadership programs, having one of the largest FFA chapters in the state of Ohio. There are so many opportunities beyond the classroom, and instructors are always open to new ideas that students want to create!

New Psychiatric Manual Combines Alcohol Disorders
The newly released update to psychiatry's diagnostic manual combines problem drinking and alcoholism into a single condition known as "alcohol use disorder," which some experts say could lead binge drinkers to be mislabeled as alcoholics.
CNN reports the new diagnosis, found in the updated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, known as DSM-5, could follow college students into adulthood. The earlier version of the manual, DSM-4, had separate categories for alcohol abuse and the more serious alcohol dependence.
A recent study suggests the changes to alcohol disorders may not improve the diagnosis of alcoholism. The study found the changes are unlikely to result in a less accurate diagnosis, but they do not represent a clear improvement above the current diagnostic criteria.
In addition to being used by mental health professionals to diagnose patients, the DSM is used by insurance companies and schools in making decisions about coverage and special provisions for people with developmental or mental disorders, the article notes.
Critics of the DSM-5 say it will expand the list of what constitutes mental illness and will lead to a needless increase in diagnoses. A growing number of psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social workers say depression and other normal responses to life events are too often labeled as mental illness, increasing the use of potentially dangerous medication.
