with lovely stitch detail on the hem. So cute.
The second was a lovely vintage looking rose fabric with pink ties
and the third a yellow and orange rose fabric which is really pretty. It has little orange stripes in the background.
which look lovely against the green binding ties. Stephanie has a facebook page which you can find here. Thanks Stephanie.
I'm a bit obsessed with butterflies at the moment as Izzy is having a butterfly themed party for her birthday in September so I was over the moon when I stumbled across a gorgeous company called Utterly Butterflies. As soon as I saw their gorgeous pictures I knew I had to buy one for Izzy's bedroom. They are little handcut paper butterflies which are mounted and framed and are so so pretty.
You can also personalise your picture with names, dates and even photos.
My only problem is I can't decide what to choose.
They even come with the most gorgeous butterfly tag. How pretty is that?? Its a work of art by itself!!
and for boys this gorgeous star picture.
They also have a facebook page which you can find here. I'm off for another look!

TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) According to the National Institute of Health, Parkinson's Disease, affects about a half million people in the United States, and the numbers are growing.
There are a numerous medications and surgical procedures available to treat patients with Parkinson's Disease. But now therapy practices in Topeka, may be just as effective.
Topeka resident, Marlyn Burch, lives every day to the fullest, after being diagnosed 2 and a half years ago with Parkinson's disease.
"It is a progressive disease, which means once it starts, it only gets worse with time. There's no cure for it but there are treatments and surgeries that will reduce disability, " said Dr. Hartej S. Sethi from the Cotton O'Neil Neuro & Spine Center.
Although medication is typically the first line of defense for the disease, local therapy options are making a big difference for patients with disabilities from the disease.
Topeka Occupational Therapist Karen Farron says, "When we see patients we see a variety of things. they'd say it takes a tremendous amount of time to do routine things. They have difficulty getting up from a chair. They have become dependent on family members. Friends and family can't hear them speak when they're talking so they are often ignored."
Many patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, are referred for physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy.
Farron says, "you're doing lots of repetitions and making lots of changes that are kind of unconscious for most of us."
Topeka therapists are using the national LSVT Big – Loud method, to help with common symptoms, like slowed movement and speech changes.
"The idea is that someone is working on physically moving through greater space or they're using their voice to be louder," said Farron.
"It certainly does help with decreased falling, increased mobility, better ability to converse and so on and so forth," said Dr. Hartej.
All work and no play, is never fun! So Karen puts therapy practices into action, based on the patients interests. For Marlyn, it's all about the music.
"We're taking advantage of his good sense of rhythm. He's been involved in music his whole life and using the tempo and getting his limbs to move at just the right time," said Farron.
And it seems to be working.
"Despite that he's had some challenges, he's feeling pretty positive about what he's able to accomplish."
Although symptoms may not be a problem at first, Karen recommends patients get seen when they are initially diagnosed. This can help to possibly minimize future symptoms from the beginning, just like it's done for Marlyn.

MD, MPH; Grady, Deborah MD; Lin, Feng MS; Brown, Jeanette S. MDObstetrics & Gynecology: November 2005 - Volume 106 - Issue 5 - p 940-945 doi: 10.1097/01.AOG.0000180394.08406.15 Original Research Abstract In Brief Author Information Article Outline OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effect of hormone therapy on risk of stress and urge urinary incontinence. METHODS: The Heart Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial to evaluate daily oral conjugated estrogen (0.625 mg) plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (2.5 mg) therapy for the prevention of heart disease events in women with established heart disease. The 1,208 participants in Heart Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study who reported no loss of urine in the previous 7 days at baseline are included in this analysis. RESULTS: During 4.2 years of treatment, 64% of women randomly assigned to hormone therapy compared with 49% of those assigned to placebo reported weekly incontinence (P < .001). The higher risk of incontinence in the hormone group was evident at 4 months, persisted throughout the treatment period, and was independent of the age of the women. The odds ratios for weekly incontinence among women on hormone therapy compared with placebo were 1.5 for urge incontinence (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2–1.8; P < .001) and 1.7 for stress incontinence (95% CI 1.5–2.1; P < .001). Four years of treatment with hormone therapy caused an excess risk of 12% for weekly urge incontinence and 16% for weekly stress incontinence; the corresponding numbers needed to harm were 8.6 (95% CI 5.8–16.6) and 6.2 (95% CI 4.6–9.4). CONCLUSION: Estrogen plus progestin therapy increases risk of urge and stress incontinence within 4 months of beginning treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: I Estrogen plus progestin therapy increases risk of urge and stress incontinence within 4 months of beginning treatment.

Abstract MATERIALS AND METHODS RESULTS DISCUSSION REFERENCES Nearly 40% of postmenopausal women have urinary incontinence.1 The presence of estrogen receptors throughout the urogenital tract indicates that estrogen may have physiologic effects on the continence mechanism. Estrogen increases urethral blood flow,2,3 α-adrenergic receptor sensitivity,4,5 and urethral closure pressure,6–8 and improves cellular maturation in the bladder, trigone, and urethra.9,10 These findings suggest that hormone therapy may improve urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women, and it has been widely used in clinical practice for this indication. In postmenopausal women with incontinence, however, randomized controlled trials have shown that hormone therapy either has no effect11–15 or actually worsens preexisting incontinence.16,17 Among women without incontinence, the Nurses Health Study, a large prospective cohort study, found that use of estrogen plus progestin was associated with a 78% higher risk for developing weekly urinary incontinence.18 The Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a large randomized, controlled trial, found that treatment with oral estrogen plus progestin or estrogen alone increased the risk of incident urinary incontinence at 1 and 3 years.17 The Heart Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study (HERS) was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial that evaluated 4 years of treatment with oral conjugated estrogen plus medroxyprogesterone acetate for the prevention of coronary disease events in women with established coronary disease.19 To estimate the effect of this oral hormone regimen on risk of urinary incontinence among women who denied episodes of incontinence in the prior week at baseline, we evaluated report of incontinence at 4 months after randomization and then annually for 4 years. Back to Top | Article Outline MATERIALS AND METHODS The design, methods, baseline characteristics and primary findings of the HERS trial have been published.19 The research protocol was reviewed and approved by the University of California, San Francisco Institutional Review Board as well as those of all participating sites. Study participants were postmenopausal women aged younger than 80 years with coronary heart disease and an intact uterus. The participants were randomly allocated to receive oral daily conjugated estrogen (0.625 mg) and medroxy progesterone acetate (2.5 mg) in 1 pill or identical placebo. Subjects were randomly assigned at each of 20 clinical centers using randomly permuted blocks of 4. At baseline, participants provided information on demographic and health variables and completed a questionnaire on incontinence. Incontinence questions began with "During the prior week, how many times on average…" and ended with "have you unintentionally leaked some urine with coughing, sneezing, straining, laughing or lifting?" (stress incontinence) or "have you unintentionally leaked some urine before you could get to the bathroom?" (urge incontinence). Only women who reported no episodes of incontinence within the last week at baseline were included in this analysis. At an initial 4-month visit and subsequent annual follow-up visits, women who reported 1 or more episodes of incontinence in the previous week were considered to have weekly incontinence. Our primary analysis used the χ2 test to compare the proportions of women in the hormone and placebo groups reporting weekly incontinent episodes at least once during the first 4 years of follow-up. In addition, we calculated the cumulative proportions who had reported incontinence by each follow-up visit, and estimated excess risk by the between-treatment difference in the cumulative proportions reporting incontinence by the fourth annual visit. Confidence intervals for number needed to harm were estimated by the reciprocals of the normal approximation confidence limits for the excess risk.20 The effect of hormone therapy on incident urge or stress incontinence was analyzed by intention to treat, without regard to adherence to therapy. We also used a continuation-ratio model21 to estimate the effects of treatment on risk of first reporting weekly incontinence at each successive visit at which incontinence was assessed. This is a form of survival analysis that takes account of censoring due to death and loss to follow-up, and estimates the relative odds of reporting weekly incontinence at a visit given that it had not been reported at a previous visit. We used this model to examine whether the effects of treatment differed over time, in our analysis stratified by age, and to carry out sensitivity analyses in which treatment effect estimates were adjusted for covariates known to be associated with incontinence. To summarize the severity of incontinence, we used the largest number of incontinent episodes each woman reported during the study visits, thus presenting her incontinence at its worst. Back to Top | Article Outline RESULTS Between January 1993 and September 1994, 2,763 women were enrolled in the HERS. At the beginning of the trial, 1,228 participants reported no weekly stress or urge incontinence episodes in the past week, and of these, 1,208 women provided urinary incontinence data for at least 1 follow-up visit. Five hundred ninety-seven (49%) were assigned to hormone therapy, and 611 (51%) were assigned to placebo. These groups of continent women were comparable at baseline, with the exception that the women assigned to placebo were, on average, 1 year older and correspondingly further from menopause compared with women in the hormone group (Table 1). Table 1 In the hormone therapy group, 1 participant discontinued due to adverse reactions, 58 died, 5 failed to return, and 11 were lost to follow-up for other reasons. In the placebo group, 60 died, 5 failed to return, and 12 were lost to follow-up for other reasons. The compliance rates were 80% in the placebo and 68% in the hormone groups. During 4 years of treatment, weekly incontinence was reported at least once during follow-up by 382 women (64%) taking hormone therapy and 302 women (49%) taking placebo (P ≤ .001). Weekly urge incontinence was reported by 48% of the hormone therapy group and 36% of the placebo group (P < .001). Weekly stress incontinence was reported by 54% of the hormone therapy group and 38% of the placebo group (P < .001). The difference between treatment groups was evident by the 4-month visit and persisted throughout the treatment period (Figure 1). Fig In the continuation-ratio model, women assigned to hormone therapy had 50% higher odds of reporting urge incontinence compared with those assigned to placebo (P = .001) and 70% higher odds of reporting stress incontinence (P < .001) (Table 2). In supplementary analyses we found that the adverse effect on urge incontinence seemed to increase with time (P = .03 for linear trend in the treatment effect). The effects of treatment were unchanged in multivariate continuation-ratio models controlling for age, years since menopause, race, parity, diabetes, and body mass index. Table 2 In women under 60 years of age (n = 184) the effect of hormone therapy on risk of incontinence was minimally and not significantly elevated (odds ratio [OR] 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85–2.04; P = .23). Of the women age younger than 60 years and assigned to placebo (n = 88), 48% reported weekly incontinence of any type, 32% reported weekly urge incontinence, and 37% reported weekly stress incontinence during the 4 years. The respective proportions of women assigned to hormone therapy who reported incontinence (n = 96) were 59%, 40%, and 48%. The cumulative percentage of women reporting incontinence by type and treatment group is presented in Figure 1. Excess risk after 4 years of treatment with hormone therapy was 15% for weekly incontinence of any type, 12% for weekly urge incontinence, and 16% for weekly stress incontinence. Numbers needed to harm were 6.9, 8.6, and 5.9 respectively (Table 3). Table 3 Of the women who reported urinary incontinence of any type, 23% reported 4 or more episodes per week at least once during follow-up. Eighteen percent and 22% reported 4 or more episodes of urge and stress incontinence, respectively. Back to Top | Article Outline DISCUSSION Use of oral estrogen and progestin caused both urge and stress urinary incontinence in this randomized clinical trial of postmenopausal women with heart disease. Women on hormone therapy had 50% higher odds of urge incontinence and 70% higher odds of stress incontinence. An increased risk of urinary incontinence among hormone users became apparent within 4 months of starting therapy, and persisted for the duration of oral hormone use. Treatment of 8 women with hormone therapy for 4 years caused 1 additional woman to report weekly urge incontinence, and treatment of 6 women caused 1 additional woman to report weekly stress incontinence. Approximately one fourth of the women with incontinence reported 4 or more leaking episodes per week. Large randomized trials of hormone therapy in women with incontinence at baseline have found that standard doses of oral estrogen, with or without progestin, worsen urinary incontinence. The WHI (12,386 women with baseline incontinence) and the HERS (1,535 women with baseline incontinence) demonstrated significant worsening of both stress and urge incontinence; this worsening was measured by increased frequency in both trials, and by worsening amount of urine lost and worsening limitations in daily activities related to urinary incontinence in the WHI.16,17 It is unclear why hormone therapy increases the risk of developing incontinence and worsens the symptoms of existing incontinence. Alpha- and β-estrogen receptors have been identified throughout the urogenital tract, including the bladder mucosa, trigone, urethra, and vaginal mucosa.22–24 These receptors are also present in the structures that support the pelvic organs: uterosacral ligaments, levator ani muscles, and pubocervical fascia.22–24 This suggests that estrogen may have a role in both structure and function of the urinary continence mechanism. A number of studies have shown that estrogen therapy results in a reduction of the total collagen concentration, a decrease in the cross-linking of collagen, and an increase in markers of collagen turnover in the periurethral tissues of incontinent women.25–28 Animal studies have also found that estrogen administration decreases the number of collagen fibers and increases the number of smooth muscle fibers in the urethra and bladder wall.29–31 These histologic changes are associated with higher bladder contractility and resting tension.31 Estrogen treatment also increases periurethral vascularity in monkeys32 and rats.33 Although this increased vascularization has been interpreted as a positive effect of estrogen, it may be that vascular and loose connective tissue is replacing collagen, resulting in poor urethral support. A combination of higher pressures in the bladder and weaker supportive architecture of the urethra may promote incontinence. Our results are based on treatment with standard-dose oral conjugated equine estrogen combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate and might not be generalizable to other hormone treatment regimens. For example, the association of hormone therapy and incontinence may be due to the progestin component of the regimen. Although evidence suggests that urinary symptoms increase during the progesterone-dominant phase of the menstrual cycle, the mechanism is less clear.34 However, the generalizability of our findings to other hormone regimens is supported by the results of the Nurse's Health Study and the WHI. The Nurse's Health Study found an elevated risk of incident incontinence for users of transdermal estrogen, estrogen alone, and estrogen plus progestin. The WHI found an elevated risk of incident incontinence in users of oral estrogen alone and oral estrogen plus progestin. This report focuses on women who did not report incontinent episodes in the last week at baseline, and thus almost surely includes some women with prevalent but intermittent incontinence. As a result, the postbaseline episodes of leakage analyzed in this report most likely represent some prevalent as well as incident incontinence. In contrast, the WHI defined incident incontinence only in women who reported having never leaked urine at baseline. In our study, 22.6% of women assigned to placebo reported stress and 18.1% reported incident urge incontinence at the first annual visit as compared with 11.4% and 13.6% of the women in the WHI.17 Although the incontinence analyzed in this report cannot be strictly interpreted as incident incontinence, this does not threaten the validity of the between-group comparison. The evidence we present for the negative effect of hormone therapy on the risk of incontinence remains persuasive. It is also consistent with the effect of hormone therapy on incontinence risk found among the complementary group of HERS women who did report incontinence during the last week at baseline.16 Because the clinical indications for hormone therapy use are now largely limited to perimenopausal symptoms, we evaluated its effect in the youngest women in the HERS, those aged younger than 60 years. The difference between hormone treatment and placebo was not significant in this smaller sample, but both the relative and absolute increases in risk of incontinence were similar in magnitude to the increases observed in the entire cohort. In conclusion, oral estrogen plus progestin therapy increased the risk for stress and urge urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women. Women who are using or considering hormone therapy should be informed about this increased risk.Back to Top | Article Outline REFERENCES1.

William Penn held their May Day celebrations and school fete on Friday, June 7
Children danced a series of intricate dances around the May Pole, between 1.30pm and 2.30pm during the annual event which involves the whole school coming together.
Maddie Howell, was crowned Queen and is attended by Year 6 children who play the roles of flower girls, sweep, jesters, man of green, sweep and our town crier who presides over events and announces the different dances to the audience of relatives and carers.
Lesley Hart, at William Penn School, said: "Our May Queen is always crowned at the beginning of the festivities and then she and all the other children take part in the dancing.
"Each year group performs a different dance to create a different pattern around the pole with the ribbons and are taught these by Mrs Yvonne Breacher, one of our Teaching Assistants, who works tirelessly to ensure a smooth event and that the children are confident with their roles and enjoy them as a result.
"It was, as always, a lively day and one the children thoroughly enjoyed."
The school also held their school fete on the day between 3.15pm to 7pm.
Lesley added: "This we had an Alice in Wonderland theme and our PTA were busy constructing beautiful paper mache flowers, mushrooms and characters to decorate the fete."
The fete was held on the school field and a huge range of events included races, dancing by our children supported by their DanceTime teacher Mrs Sarah Foster, a magician, face painting, fairground rides, a hog roast and barbeque.
"The good weather ensured that lots of fun was had by everyone and the PTA had worked hard to ensure there was always lots going on to keep everyone amused," continued Lesley.

If you feel heaviness in the stomach, periodic discomfort, bloating, you have a poor appetite and frequent headaches, then you certainly need to "clean" your body of "toxins".
If you want to feel healthy person and be cheerful and happy, prosper, and many others like it, then you, too, it is recommended to do cleansing of the bowel.
There are official medical techniques that aim at cleansing the small and large intestines, liver and pancreas unloading.And you can use the services of professionals and under their control and supervision of a complete examination and treatment.
However, it is possible (though it is not as effective) purgation spend at home.
There are many traditional methods that have long been used in order to feel better.But we'll talk about them later.
Now I want to talk about how clean the bowel at home with the help of cleansing enemas.
To do this you will need warmer as a reservoir for water, a rubber hose and a plastic tip.The water bottle is filled with water at room temp
However, I can say that this is not a harmless way to purgation in the home, as the periodic "washing" the intestines, along with fecal stones and slag will escape as all the normal intestinal microflora, washed bacteria thatactually provide normal absorption of nutrients and permanent injury to intestinal villi flow of water results in atrophy and, consequently, to disruption of membrane digestion and digestion.
So, ladies, if you already use this remarkable method, it is strongly recommended after treatment just a course of probiotics and prebiotics to restore microflora washed for the normal functioning of the intestine.
other most common method: purgation at home, this purgation bran.The treatment is carried out at intervals of a month in the year.Bran buy at the store, and eat in the morning on an empty stomach two tablespoons, drinking plenty of fluids.It may be water or milk or tea is unsweetened.Then, at lunch and before dinner for fifteen minutes before a meal eat two tablespoons of bran.Bran is the coarse fiber, they are not digested, so pass through the bowel transit, on the road collecting all that there is of bad stale.This process, in my opinion, more loyal and physiological.We must take good care of your body, or you can do worse than it was.
Do not forget that the passing purgation at home, you need to follow a certain diet.Refrain from starchy foods, greasy fried, pickles and marinades, and, of course, sweets.Otherwise, what sense to unload the bowels, if you followed the slaughter him again.
In general, doctors recommend to spend fasting days, it's not as traumatic for the intestine and is almost harmless to the body as a whole.And the results are not worse, unless, of course, stick to a balanced diet in the remaining days.The most common day of Kefir, apple, watermelon, when you eat in one day, only one product.

The indicator plots two separate lines one in Red color and other is Green color. These both lines are generated using two separate combination of averages using values of High, Low, Open and Close of each candle. With the help of these red and green chart lines, traders can understand whether the market is running/moving in Up Trend or Down Trend. Values of the both Red and Green line are updated on the opening of every new candle and they are calculated using following calculation formula: Green = ((High - Open) + (Close - Low))/2, averaged for the selected period. Red = ((Open - Low) + (High - Close))/2, averaged for the selected period. Note: This indicator is used to trade breakouts. When Green line crosses and move above Red line a Buy trade can be initiated. Similarly, when the Red Line crosses and move above Green, a Sell trade can be initiated.

Treat Yourself to the Luxury of a Weight Loss Boot Camp
If you've tried dieting and exercise on your own with no success, it may be time to make an investment in a healthier future. A weight loss boot camp or a boot camp diet will offer you the opportunity to make lasting changes in your eating and exercise choices. This is a sumptuous and guilt-free spa experience that leaves you feeling great about yourself long after you leave.
Weight loss boot camp probably brings to mind images of shouting drill instructors, push-ups, and unflattering olive-drab uniforms, right? Well, you'd be right about the push-ups, and what you wear is up to you, but these days most programs with that name are more like luxurious spa getaways than basic grueling training. As for the boot camp diet, it's anything but sloppy camp rations.
The difference between weight loss boot camp and a traditional spa experience is that the programs, much like military boot camp, aim to break down your old habits and relationship with food and exercise and reset your lifestyle. It's not an escape; it's Special Forces training for a new and more effective battle plan. You will go home with the new habits ingrained into your life so you don't even need to think about what to do to keep your body lean and strong for the combat zone we call everyday life.
Surrounded by indoor and outdoor beauty, you will participate in exercise classes taught by professional fitness trainers. The boot camp regime includes light cardio, strength training, and yoga. Many retreats also offer hypnotherapy and meditation to help you recognize and break the unhealthy cycles that interfere with your goals for a positive lifestyle.
You may say you don't have the time or the money to dedicate to weight loss, but think of it this way. If you choose a weight loss boot camp as your vacation this year, you are giving yourself the tremendous and lasting gift of healthy weight maintenance. On your next vacation you will be able to rely on your new understanding of food to eat sensibly without denying yourself any of the culinary delights your holiday locale has to offer.
So it's a weight loss retreat, but don't forget these programs also feature spa and beauty treatments to help you relax and feel great about the new, lean body that is ready to emerge. It's a fantastic way to pamper yourself without feeling guilty -- when you get that massage, you'll know you've earned it!
As for the boot camp diet, it requires discipline -- lots of lean protein and whole grains to give you energy, plus fresh produce, a multivitamin, and a little extra fiber to help flush away the fat and toxins.
Starvation and self-denial are not part of the program -- it's all about education, self-confidence, and discipline. You will learn not only what to put on your plate but how to shop for and prepare healthy everyday menus: these retreats feature customized cooking classes as well as nutritious gourmet meals and snacks.

CONTROVERSIAL former referee Steve Ganson has spoken for the first time about how he felt "aggrieved" by colleague Ashley Klein's mistake that led to the first-ever Magic Weekend's infamous conclusion.
It is now six years since "Gansongate" exploded in Cardiff following a highly-contentious, chaotic ending to Leeds Rhinos' game with Bradford Bulls.
Jordan Tansey's last-minute try helped give Leeds a 42-38 win after he followed up Kevin Sinfield's penalty kick that rebounded off a post.
It should have been ruled out as replays clearly showed he had run from an offside position but Ganson, crucially, never consulted video referee Klein.
However, Bradford had also been incorrectly penalised in the first place after Klein – unprompted and against all protocol – told the match official down his earpiece he had made a wrong call by waving play-on.
In a highly-charged post-match press conference, furious Bulls coach Steve McNamara claimed Ganson had "made a penalty up to give Leeds a draw" and "cheated" his side out of victory.
The following day, when Bradford chairman Peter Hood bizarrely asked Leeds to hand back the two points, Ganson took the unusual step of making a public apology for the error.
He had no issue with that but, ahead of the seventh Magic Weekend which starts at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium today, admits how the whole affair caused him unease with his RFL work-mate.
"Naturally, I was very aggrieved with him (Klein) and really disappointed with what happened," said Ganson, speaking exclusively to the Yorkshire Post. "He felt strongly enough to come in on a live play, which video refs aren't allowed to do, but then got the decision wrong.
"As a ref, when you give a decision but then someone else – who is watching a video monitor with replays – tells you it's wrong you'd hope you are getting the right information. But instead it was him who got it wrong.
"Let's just say we weren't bosom buddies afterwards. I won't suggest for a minute he did it on purpose. It was just an error of judgement.
"I'm clearly seen on TV saying 'play on' and then changing that decision to 'penalty'.
"Naturally, the first thought would be I'd made that decision. If not, then it must have come from a touch judge.
"But then when you go through the audio of the match – the Black Box of the game as it were – it becomes clear it is the video referee who intervened.
"It certainly set Magic Weekend off with a bang. Some people said it was all done for publicity but I can definitely say it wasn't planned. What we have learned as a department though – the one thing to come out of it all – is that, as video referees, you can never give a decision on a live play.
"Some processes were put in play after that incident and it has never happened since.
"Every decision involving a video referee is now field-led by the referee."
Ganson, no stranger to controversy after sending of Great Britain's Adrian Morley after just 12 seconds of a Test match against Australia and also awarding a crucial penalty try in the 2008 World Cup Final, retired last month and now works for the RFL match officials department in a coaching capacity.
Ironically, he is based in an office at RFL headquarters in Leeds next door to McNamara who is now England head coach.
"I hear Steve was very hot and bothered under the collar that night (in Cardiff)," added Ganson. "Also, there'd been no major issues in the other games so I think the match commissioner Gerry Kershaw had left early to go get a meal.
"His wife rang telling him to get back quick and he was seen running through the streets of Cardiff.
"Obviously, I'm in an office next to Steve now but it's not something he mentions every time I see him making a brew.
"He might have a little sly wink this week, though, if he sees me before Magic just to let me know he's not 100 per cent forgotten.
"We met in the days after that match. Steve was initially very, very angry with why I'd overturned my original decision.
"But he found out there was various other factors contributing to it and so, by the time he met with me, Ashley and Stuart Cummings, he'd calmed down."
Klein, meanwhile, returned to his native Australia in 2009 and is now a leading referee in the NRL.
Ganson continued: "No one at the RFL said I had to apologise but, as a referee, I've never been afraid to hold my hands up and say I was wrong.
"I was disappointed that the outcome of the game ended up in such a manner and could understand Bradford feeling like they did. Pretty soon after the final whistle I knew it was a major incident.
"With it being on Sky and with mobiles, of course, there was calls coming in from journalists and texts from mates and family. You didn't have to be Einstein.
"I felt it was only right to say 'Listen, I'm sorry, but it wasn't done on purpose, it was just one of those things that was wrong.'
"He (Klein) made that call but, as referee, I was in charge."
Ganson, who admits he is already missing the "buzz" of refereeing, says the surreal chain of events that occurred that night at Millennium Stadium contrived for the unique dramatic ending.
"A penalty hitting the post and someone running up to score off the rebound is something I've not seen happen since," said the 43-year-old, who will be video referee at three games in Manchester this weekend.
"After I'd checked with the touch judges about the grounding I gave it. The last thing you were expecting was the runner to be offside.
"I'd be really naive to think that come nine o'clock Sunday night this weekend every referee's had a fantastic game and there's been no mistakes. That just wouldn't be the sport.
"But hopefully they all do their best and contribute to what is a great weekend of rugby league."

Time yaps at the heels of comedy. Tragedy marches inexorably on. In comedy the present turns immediately to the past, this is why the pace must be fast. Private Lives tries to talk about serious things rapidly. It does not stop and consider. The past is a repetition of the future, not the other way around. This is why the characters circle endlessly. You might call it the rhythm of life, or in a darker comedy, the dance of death. There is plenty of life left in Private Lives. Its relentless wit continues to charm. The couple who fight best seem to love best. Only fine actors can repeat themselves. Shakespeare and Company's production of Noel Coward's play had the requisite energy. David Joseph, in particular, seemed inexhaustible, time yapping at his heels. Dana Harrison also commanded the speed and flavor of imperious time, sometimes by trying to slow it ever so slightly.

A Smashing Private Lives at Shakespeare and Company
After my all-too-common last minute arrival, I had no opportunity to read Tony Simotes' wise note in the program until the intermission. When I did, I struck a chord with thoughts that had been coming to me about Noël Coward since feeling his very large presence in Sir Donald and Marc Sinden's wonderful series of documentaries about the theaters of London's West End: his plays, as ephemeral as they claim to be, keep coming back, and have turned into classics under our noses, so to speak. Beneath the electric language and constantly amusing repartee, which in themselves have proven surprisingly durable, the basic themes that concern us all—attraction, love, loyalty, fidelity, convention and life, youth and maturity, and (although not in Private Lives) aging. Truth is, Coward, with his insistence that his gifts consisted of no more than "a talent to amuse," was his own worst detractor.

Berry Petroleum Earns $1.52 Per Share in Third Quarter
Berry Petroleum Company (NYSE BRY) reports net income of $34.2 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005, up 88% compared to net income of $18.2 million, or $.82 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2004, according to Robert F. Heinemann, president and chief executive officer. Revenues rose to a record $110 million in the quarter, up 51% from $73 million in the third quarter of 2004. The average daily production of 23,647 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), which consists of 20,000 barrels of crude oil and 21.8 million cubic feet of natural gas, was a record and an increase of 14% over the 20,825 BOE achieved a year ago. The third quarter 2005 average realized sales price of $44.25 per BOE was up 37% from the $32.28 per BOE received in the third quarter of 2004.
Mr. Heinemann continued, "Berry's performance in the third quarter was outstanding. Our quarterly earnings were a Company record as was our average daily production, which increased 4% over the second quarter of 2005 and 14% over last year's third quarter. We are continuing our growth strategy by investing record cash flows into our core producing assets and new exploitation opportunities. Berry raised its capital budget for 2005 by $29 million, or 27%, to $136 million to take advantage of these investment opportunities.
"Additionally, in August the board approved an 8% increase in the quarterly dividend beginning with the September 2005 payment, and issued a one-time special dividend of $.10 per share to allow shareholders to fully participate in the Company's success.
"Berry is currently appraising several of its new prospects, including the Company's Lake Canyon shallow oil and deep gas projects and the Coyote Flats Ferron gas and coal bed methane projects in the Uinta Basin of Utah. We are launching a five-well development program on our Tri-State Niobrara acreage in Kansas. The 25-well expansion of our California diatomite heavy oil project is well underway. Success on any of these projects could be very significant to the Company. In the fourth quarter, Berry increased its acreage position and now holds an interest in approximately 900,000 gross acres in the Rockies and Mid-Continent. We completed a `bolt-on' acquisition of a 50% working interest in 60,000 net acres adjacent to and immediately north of our Yuma County Niobrara gas properties in Colorado. We also closed on previously announced acreage in the North Dakota Bakken play. Berry intends to appraise all these opportunities in a decisive and expedient manner. To that end, the Company has purchased two drilling rigs and is working to secure the additional equipment needed to complete the drilling of our inventory over the next several years."
For the nine months ending September 30, 2005, net income was a record $82.0 million, or $3.65 per diluted share, up 87% from net income of $43.9 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the nine months ending September 30, 2004. Revenues were $291 million in the first nine months of 2005, up 50% from $194 million in the first nine months of 2004. For the nine months ending September 30, 2005, average daily production of 22,793 BOE increased by 13%, and the average realized sales price of $40.48 per BOE was up 41% from the first nine months of 2004.
Mr. Heinemann added, "We are accomplishing our diversification strategy as witnessed by our third quarter production volumes, which were 71% heavy oil, 14% light oil and 15% natural gas. Our reserves and production are moving toward a more balanced mix which will result in a portfolio less vulnerable to commodity price swings. It is our goal to continue to diversify our asset base."
Ralph J. Goehring, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Our financial performance in the third quarter is unparalleled in the Company's history. The combination of record production and record high oil prices allows Berry to generate outstanding cash flow and returns on our investments. Net cash provided by operating activities was a record $122 million in the first nine months of 2005, up 56% from $78 million in the same period in 2004. In the first nine months of 2005, the Company invested $78 million in capital projects, $119 million in property acquisitions, retired debt of $44 million and paid dividends of $10 million.
"Our 2005 fourth quarter looks like it will be a very strong
quarter for Berry. Likewise, 2006 is shaping up to be another record
year in production as we target 25,000 BOE/D from existing producing
assets, or 9% over our 2005 target of 23,000 BOE/D. We anticipate our
2006 capital program, excluding acquisitions, to be at least $150
million and funded out of cash flow."

Paris, Sept. 18 (Reuters): French Nazi collaborator Maurice Papon, 92, left jail today after an appeals court ruled he was too ill to serve the rest of his sentence for helping deport Jews to wartime concentration camps.
Papon was sentenced in 1998 to 10 years in prison for complicity in crimes against humanity because of his role in 1942-1944 in organising the transport of 1,560 Jews to a Paris transit camp on the way to Auschwitz.
Walking steadily, he emerged from a small door at Paris Sante prison to jeers from a waiting crowd, got into a car and was driven away. Stunned by the courts unexpected decision, Jewish and anti-racist groups protested loudly against the early release. Papon served only three years of his sentence, having entered prison in 1999.
Lawyer Jean-Marc Varaut said before his release that Papon himself was surprised by the courts ruling. He didnt believe it. He didnt think the magistrates had that much independence, he told journalists.
The appeals court ignored the public prosecutors request to keep the former Vichy official in prison because releasing him could cause public unrest. It said the medical evidence his lawyers had presented had shown he was too ill to stay in jail.
But groups representing Jewish victims of Nazism were outraged.
Ive just heard this sad news and Im stunned, Michel Slitinsky, spokesman for the civil parties at Papons original trial, told Reuters.
Justice minister Dominique Perben reminded journalists that the government had opposed the release.
Papon, the first senior official of the collaborationist Vichy regime to be convicted of complicity in crimes against humanity, had a successful political career after the war and was Frances budget minister when his past caught up with him in 1981.
In May of that year, the satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaine published documents showing he authorised the arrest and deportation of Jews and was praised by German occupation authorities as a reliable and able collaborator.

Talented Eyebrows
The Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12
Discussion starter:
Each of us has something that is uniquely us. Maybe it's a funny talent? Such as extreme eyebrow control. Or maybe it's that you have the ability to listen to your friends talk about their day and hear what is really going on?
In the same way God has created each of us with a unique mix of gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul says, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." In other words, the Holy Spirit has given you unique gifts not just for your own good, but the good of everyone. These are things that you can do which are so unique that others can point to and say, "Yes, that thing you did. That was God in you."
Here's the thing about God making you unique. Paul teaches us that without you, the whole body will be handicapped. Not only did the Holy Spirit make you unique. He made it so that the rest of the body of Christ needs you to be complete. (1 Corinthians 12:21-22)
3 Questions:
- Would you rather have a silly talent or no talent at all?
- Have you ever tried to figure out what your spiritual gifts might be?
- What are some gifts that our group (or family) is missing?
Chew on this:
Why would God give us free will if He knew the church could become handicapped by people choosing to walk away?

So this Must Have box was a wee bit different than the last one I received, which is kind of a given {duh} but it was really different. Not at all what I expected. Everything in this box reminded me of Summer vacation + taking it easy. I was kind of hoping for something more on the skin care/makeup side but I'm glad it didn't go down that way.
There were five products in this box + one gift card.
Starting with one of my favorites is a book by Emily Giffin titled The One & Only {author of Something Borrowed – yes it was turned into a movie with Ginnifer Goodwin}. I'm a total bookie + I love going to the library to stock up at least a few times a month. And it's a hardback so I'm looking forward to packing it in my beach bag this season.
The Sachajuan Shiny Citrus Body Lotion smells soooo good. You can't go wrong keeping your skin moisturized from the summer heat and air conditioned indoors so I am always slathering some on + this is my current favorite.
Then there was a bag of bbq kettle chips that I'm guessing was packed in there to tempt me. Those were tasty + gone less than 24 hours after I opened the box!
They added hair ties which normally I would not care for since I decided to chop off my curly ponytail last Summer but these are so cute with the little gold accent ring in the middle that I actually use them as little bracelets. They come in some neutral shades so I just slip one on before I head out the door for about a million play hours with my kids. I have really tiny wrists so finding things to fit around them is quite the treat!
The Turkish-T Beach Towel is so chic {it's the pretty blue + white folded fabric underneath everything} + will probably make it to almost every beach outing with me. No more trying to beat the sand out of my heavy beach towel.
Now I'm not necessarily on the fence about these You Smell Lemon Wet Wipes since I have yet to smell one but I'll be dropping these in my tote as well. We have gorgeous mornings + sticky nights here so I can't see where these wouldn't be of good use to me.
And lastly the gift card. This was so unexpected but kind of cool. I can't even pretend I'm not a gadget junkie when it comes to my phone or tablet so I'll be spending this $15 voucher well at Native Union.
Right now you can use blogger code JUNESELECT10 to save $10 on a 3 month subscription of the POPSUGAR Must Have box | Offer expires June 30th 2014
{thanks for reading}
