Firms rap GPs' fizzy drink tax call
11:17am Monday 18th February 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Manufacturers of fizzy drinks have hit back at a call by GPs for them to be taxed to help tackle spiralling levels of obesity.
Following a report released by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AMRC), which expressed concerns about public health, the soft drinks industry has rejected the idea that a tax would help.
An industry body has said their products account for just 2% of calories in an average diet and it is what people consume overall which needs to be addressed. They also said sales of fizzy drinks have fallen during the last decade, but levels of obesity have risen.
Gavin Partington, director-general of the British Soft Drinks Association, said: "We share the recognition that obesity is a major public health priority but reject the idea that a tax on soft drinks, which contribute just 2% of the total calories in the average diet, is going to address a problem which is about overall diet and levels of activity.
"Over the last 10 years, the consumption of soft drinks containing added sugar has fallen by 9% while the incidence of obesity has been increasing, and 61% of soft drinks now contain no added sugar.
"Soft drinks companies are also committing to further, voluntary action as part of the Government's Responsibility Deal Calorie Reduction Pledge. Don't forget that there already is a 20% tax on soft drinks, 10p out of every 60p can of drink already goes to the Government thanks to VAT. Putting up taxes even further will put pressure on people's purses at a time when they can ill afford it."
Following a year-long inquiry, the AMRC has devised a list of 10 recommendations to stop the UK being the fat man of Europe. These include taxes of 20% on sugary drinks for at least a year, banning the advertising of foods high in saturated fat, sugar and salt before 9pm, and councils having the power to limit the number of fast-food outlets near schools and leisure centres.
AMRC chairman Professor Terence Stephenson told the BBC the eating culture needs to be changed to make it easier for people to make healthy decisions. He said: "I choose what I eat or whether I smoke. What people have told us is they want help to swim with the tide rather than against the current to make the healthy choice the easy one. Doctors are often accused of playing the nanny state. We didn't hear from a single person who said they liked being overweight - everybody we met wanted help from the state and society."
But Terry Jones, from the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), which represents manufacturers, said: "FDF had hoped that today's report would have looked seriously at how the food industry and the medical profession would have worked together to tackle obesity, and genuinely brought new insights to bear on how to empower healthier choices and change behaviour to deliver better long-term public health outcomes. This report fails to do that."
Later, a leading doctor said that obese children should be offered stomach surgery in an effort to help them reduce their weight to safer levels. Professor David Haslam, chairman of the National Obesity Forum, said radical measures were needed to tackle the "desperate situation" of childhood obesity. He told Channel 4 News some children were experiencing medical problems more commonly expected in the over-50s as a result of their obesity.

The Institutes have acquired Medical Directions, Inc., in a deal finalized on March 30, 2012. Three online Medical Claim Trainer courses are now available.
Malvern, PA (PRWEB) April 04, 2012
The Institutes have acquired Medical Directions, Inc., in a deal finalized on March 30, 2012. Medical Directions is a training provider specializing in intermediate and advanced-level medical insurance training for casualty and workers compensation adjusters and nurses.
On April 1, The Institutes began offering the Medical Claim Trainer courses that were previously offered through Medical Directions. These three online courses draw on years of claims and litigation experience to create a medical training program for workers compensation, auto, and liability claims professionals. The courses are designed to go beyond the medical record interpretation and terminology courses currently in use within medical claims. The final exam is embedded in each of the online courses, and each course has been approved separately for continuing education (CE) credits.
The Medical Claim Trainer courses were specifically designed for workers compensation, auto, and liability adjusters. Course participants should have:
"As medical costs continue to increase, having knowledge of not only medical terminology and records interpretation but also of preexisting conditions, rehabilitation schedules, and the like will be key differentiators within the industry's claims departments and have a direct and measureable influence on operational profit and loss statements," said Peter L. Miller, CPCU, president and CEO of The Institutes. "We are excited to have this opportunity to provide this knowledge on a national and an international scale."

The British Library has taken the lead, nationally and internationally, in aiming to overcome the challenges of collecting, preserving and providing contemporary and long term access to the world's digital knowledge.
The Library's strategic vision is to 'provide both physical and digital access to world-class information where and when people need it'. We have developed a number of partnerships and business models to drive forward mass digitisation and create a valuable and enduring resource for researchers and the public alike.
Intellectual Property
The British Library is concerned that the shift from print to digital publishing is undermining the traditional balance at the heart of copyright in ways that could make it harder for researchers to access and use information.
We believe that the UK needs an intellectual property framework appropriate for the digital age.
A new business service which will spearhead small business growth and unlock the potential of entrepreneurs in the North-East is being launched in Newcastle this week.
Manuscripts of the lyrics to The Beatles hit songs "Strawberry Fields Forever", "She Said She Said" and "In My Life", handwritten by John Lennon, have been donated to the British Library under the new Cultural Gifts Scheme, introduced by the Government earlier this year. The scheme is administered by Arts Council England.
Food and drink remains the single largest manufacturing sector in the UK, but in a competitive and crowded market food entrepreneurs need to be savvier than ever to survive. In partnership with Barclays, the British Library will be bringing four of the food giants that have successfully penetrated the industry together to discuss their ingredients for success to an audience of start-up and growth businesses at the flagship 'Inspiring Entrepreneurs' series on 19 June.
The British Library is delighted to present a major new exhibition examining state propaganda, from its origins in the ancient world up until the present day. With over 200 exhibits on display, ranging from chilling Nazi propaganda to modern day ephemera such as bank notes, badges and even tweets which permeate our everyday lives, Propaganda: Power and Persuasion is the first exhibition to gather such a significant range of international state propaganda in one room, looking at its rationales, methods and effectiveness.

President Barack Obama insists he's ahead but is running like the underdog, adopting a street-fighting posture and campaigning himself hoarse across the country. Republican challenger Mitt Romney seeks to make his election seem inevitable and calls Obama's campaign desperate.
A role reversal by the candidates that occurred over the course of the three presidential debates is continuing in the final stage of the race, portending frenzied politicking until voters deliver the verdict on November 6.
For Obama, that means more campaign swings like the two-day trip to eight states this week -- including his "all-nighter" on Air Force One, as well as events targeting younger audiences. He has appeared on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and planned an MTV interview on Friday.
It also means increasingly caustic attacks on Romney, including his reference to the former Massachusetts governor as a "bullshitter" in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine to be published after the election.
Romney, meanwhile, tries to exude the air of a president-to-be, continuing his campaign's constant assault on Obama's presidency but presenting himself as above the fray of political mudslinging.
In a new twist to his standard stump speech, Romney has co-opted Obama's campaign theme of 2008 by declaring himself the candidate of change in contrast to the status quo of what he called four more years of failed policies under the president.
"Four years ago, candidate Obama spoke to the scale of the times," Romney said Friday in Iowa, one of the handful of swing states that will decide the election. "Today, he shrinks from it, trying instead to distract our attention from the biggest issues to the smallest -- from characters on Sesame Street and silly word games to misdirected personal attacks he knows are false. The president's campaign falls far short of the magnitude of these times."
He referred to attack lines in the Obama stump speech that target Romney's shifting positions on issues as "Romnesia" and characterize the GOP contender's proposed cuts in government funding for public television as an assault on "Big Bird."
To Darrell West, the vice president and director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, both candidates now devote their campaign efforts to motivating core supporters to get out and vote, rather than trying to persuade a shrinking number of uncommitted voters.
"I think each side is focusing more on their base than on the undecided," West told CNN, noting that after months of the campaign deluge, "it's so hard to know what at this point is going to persuade people to make up their minds."

Design Article
Combined voltage, current control loops simplify LED, solar apps
Xin Qi, Linear Technology
Using an input referred LED string allows the LT3796 to act as a buck mode controller as shown in Figure 4. The 1MHz operating frequency enables a high PWM dimming ratio. The OPENLED regulation voltage is set to
through the independent current sense amplifier at CSP, CSN and CSOUT pins. During the PWM off phase, the LT3796 disables all internal loads to the VC pin and preserves the charge state. It also turns off the PMOS switch M2 to disconnect the LED string from the power path and prevent the output capacitor from discharging. These features combine to greatly improve the LED current recovery time when PWM signal goes high. Even with a 100Hz PWM input signal, this buck mode LED driver can achieve a 3000:1 dimming ratio as illustrated in Figure 5.
This chip has multiple features tied together and designers of UPS,inverters also can benefit. If this chip could be combined with a digital technology with a simple user interface to program various parameters of currents and voltages then it will be more easy to incorporate into many systems.
It's a somewhat simplistic view of maximum power point tracking and would apply to one panel, at one temperature. It would not achieve anywhere near 100% utilization in the real world as the maximum power point voltage will vary considerably with temperature ... which is impacted by solar irradiance as well.
@Semiman_#1: True. If you wanted to achieve temperature-invariant MPPT with this chip, it looks like you'd have to detach Vs and CSN from INTVCC, and re-attach the pins to an external temperature-sensing diode. You'd need to tweak the resistor values accordingly. I haven't shopped around, but it would seem reasonable for solar panel makers to include a temperature-sensing diode in the center of the panel; the panel's MPPT should track the diode's open-circuit voltage fairly well. If that's not the case, then you can always glue a diode to the panel and drive it with a current source (resistor to INTVCC).

Together we have succeeded in defining the issues of the 2008 Presidential campaign.
Prior to posting the new ideology contained in Frank's Top Ten List on my 2008 Presidential website at http://www.franklynch.org on July 20, 2007, none of the other candidates, including our new President, had included such vital issues as energy independence, windfarms, plug in electric cars, universal healthcare, tuition grants to college students, creating new jobs, and talking to our enemies.
Today all these issues arethe core issues of President Obama and the Democratic Party, and I am proud to have contributed to the future of America.
Please add the new blog http://franklynchusa.wordpress.com to your blogroll and favorites so we may add new issues, such as creating not the small number of Jobs Obama now seeks, but 10,000,000 new jobs!

Recently my wife and I purchased more than $10,000 of Electrolux appliances from Sears for a newly remodeled kitchen. There have been some more or less "routine" service issues with one of the appliances requiring appointments and onsite repairs...but this is not my issue. My issue is: I will hang up on ANY service call (unanswered) from ANY vendor which requires me to press a button, or say the word "English" for an English phone message. Let the "visitors" press the buttons. BK in Sherwood Oregon
Good luck getting someone out to service your appliances. I suggestyou buy some basic appliance repair books and start reading them.
I wish I could press "1" to speak to an english speaking personinstead of someone with a thick accent in India. I recently called toget my cell phone set up and spoke to someone with such horribleenglish (from India) and wished I could actually speak to someone inENGLISH!! At least Sears gives you the option of using the englishlanguage!
Sounds like a win-win for the service center. Anybody that has anissue with the simple act of pushing a button or saying a word willmore than likely have issues with things like answering questions.
I actually thought this was kind of funny and sad at the same time. English is not the native (or official) language of America (Or ofmulti-national companies, of which most big companies are) by anystretch of the word. We are a nation of visitors. I can probably guess that 100% of thebloodlines of your ancestry are not native to America. It takes you a second to press a button to get help in a languageconvenient to you. They offer it as a courtesy for multiple languagespeakers, not to spite you.
I don't see the point. I understand the whole argument behind the "Whyshould I have to press one for English" argument, but I alsounderstand that they are trying to appeal to their customers byoffering a choice of languages. Not every Spanish speaker is a"visitor", I'm sure many of their customers are natural born by legalparents, or even naturalized citizens. If you were born in the US, butwere raised by Spanish speaking parents, how is that their problem?
Well if they do that and you need service, you're out of luck...andit's less work for Electrolux/Sears - so I honestly don't see thepoint of this letter - you already purchased the products...you'rejust saying that if you have to press a button for English when youneed service you'll hang up - why should they care?
"My issue is: I will hang up on ANY service call (unanswered) from ANYvendor which requires me to press a button, or say the word "English"for an English phone message" I agree. That IS an issue. Just push the button.
So you want to have to wait through all the language options in themenu (which can be a minute or two) instead of hitting "1" and gettingthrough there faster? Instead of: Press 1 for English Press 2 for Spanish (I know, said in Spanish) ..... You want: Press 1 for Spanish .... Please remain on the line for English Seriously, which is faster to get through?
The Spanish speakers do have to press buttons. Do you listen longenough to find that out?
Unfortunately there's a few things to consider 1) The government still won't declare English to be the officiallanguage 2) Most companies have a percentage of customers who speak anon-English language more fluently. The company cannot cut-off an entire portion of their customer basejust because someone else is "offended" that the company servesnon-English speaking people.
cutting off one's nose despite their face!
As has been said before: if you hang up, your service request does notget made meaning Sears does not have to expend any money to fix yournew appliances. Without even trying, Sears found a way to keep some of its customersfrom using their warranties.
when i was in japan i was very thankful that there were servicesavailable in english. i knew a few words of japanese but not always enough
...how are you going to get anything fixed if you practice this? Theyaren't going to change their phone system just for you. And people, you wouldn't believe how many customers come into my storearound here and complain about this sort of thing like *I* have anycontrol over the phone systems. Would you rather it say, "Para elespanol, prensa dos" without the prompt for English? Spanish is becoming another dominant language of the United States. Ithappens. I mean, a hundred years or so ago, a lot more people spokeGerman and other European languages and eventually learned English.The same thing might happen in this case. Our nation is changing. It'll be okay.
I actually wish more automated systems gave me the option to push 1for english. It is simply a fact of life that there is a businessneed to offer services in spanish as well. It doesn't bother me, butsince that isn't the option I need, I wish I could just hit my numerand avoid listening to the instructions for the spanish options,spoken in spanish - which I don't understand. If you want to discuss your service needs, you are kind of cutting offyour nose to spite your face, aren't you?
Espero que usted comprenda que estamos en una economía global ahora Día Bueno
I am confused...I've called several companies where there has been atwo choice system such as "for English, press one, for Spanish, presstwo (said in Spanish)". Was this the message you received? If sothat's pretty standard....English and Spanish are the two predominantlanguages in the United States, so it is reasonable to offer both tophone customers without a default. Are you mad that the call didn'tdefault to English to begin with? It's really not that hard to pressa button, its a lot harder to try to fix an appliance by yourselfbecause you are being stubborn.
Who exactly are these visitors of which you speak? I'd say you picked the wrong brand of appliance if you now plan tohang up every time you have a service issue. How will you get theservice that you need? You could have verified the service company for the appliances was runby the right kind of people before your purchase. It sounds like thiscompany is too inclusive.
thrilled if the phone was answered in the Native American language ofyour region.

Deer Hunters Have 29,000 New Acres This Season
A new Department of Natural Resources program has opened 29,000 acres of privately-owned land for hunting and other uses by the general public.
From the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources:
This year, hunters have the opportunity to enjoy access to nearly 29,000 new acres of private land open to the public within close proximity of the state's metropolitan areas.
A new Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources video captures the success of the Voluntary Public Access program in opening up large tracts of prime habitat land, often connected to public land, for multiple outdoor recreational activities.
"Given the boon our small local economies see with hunting seasons combined with the need to continue our hunting heritage around urban areas, it's really important for our state to have this successful program in place. It's a win for landowners, hunters, local businesses and conservation. I hope anyone interested in finding a place to hunt will watch this video," said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp.
In one year, the VPA program secured 261 lease agreements in 41 counties for a total of over 43,000 acres when taking into consideration acres enrolled in a previous lease program. The program, administered by DNR, provides financial incentives to private landowners who open their property to public hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife observation.
"We are working hard to increase public access for hunting and other uses. This program is a model, opening up acres across the state to multiple uses from deer hunting to bird watching. The detailed maps and easy accessibility is the kind of customer service we aim to provide outdoor enthusiasts in Wisconsin," said Sec. Stepp.
To locate a VPA property or to learn more about the program please visit dnr.wi.gov, search keyword "VPA." Additionally, those interested in learning more about this and other public access programs are invited to join the DNR for an online chat, Nov. 15, 11:30 a.m.
Visit the DNR home page, dnr.wi.gov, and look for the advertisement or search the phrase "ask the experts" to join representatives from the DNR's Managed Forest Law, Voluntary Public Access and Public Lands programs to learn about the millions of private and public acres of prime habitat open for public hunting.

Hoffa seems to recall that during the recall effort, the liberal/leftist/Democrats were claiming that Walker was going to privatize all state hunting lands and force hunters to pay thousands of dollars to deer hunt in the future. Even Politifact smelled the BS on that false assertion, rating it Pants On Fire:
Looks to Hoffa like the exact opposite turned out to be the truth, as proven by this article.
Can we expect an apology from Barrett and all the blue fisters for lying to us any time soon?

Parker seeks Texas-Ukraine relationship
By Chris Roark, firstname.lastname@example.com
Texas Rep. Tan Parker spent the last half of May in Ukraine on a personal business trip, which he funded himself.
While he was there, Parker took a shot at helping the Texas economy, too.
Parker, who represents District 63, which includes Flower Mound, said he saw a chance to establish a relationship between Texas and the Eastern European country that could pay dividends down the road.
�We have an opportunity to improve economic development in Texas by bringing in new, foreign investment,� Parker said. �We need to connect the companies in Texas to Ukraine for stronger economic ties.�
Parker met with key officials of the Ukraine government, including the governor of the Harkiv region. Parker then invited the Harkiv governor, lieutenant governor and other business delegates to Texas at the end of the year to meet with him, Gov. Rick Perry and Texas business leaders.
�We want their businesses to invest and grow in Texas to bring in new jobs,� Parker said.
Parker also took part in roundtable discussions that showcased Texas� economic experience and what Ukraine can learn from the state�s success. Parker also had a one-on-one meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Ukraine to discuss economic opportunities in the United States.
One area of business Parker and Ukraine officials discussed was energy, both traditional fossil fuel energy and alternative energy options. Parker said one idea is for Ukraine energy companies to use Texas companies to help with their resources, thus creating opportunities in the state.
�There is a lot of wealth in Ukraine,� Parker said. �So we�re looking for them to invest in Texas. Better ties between Texas and Ukraine mean greater opportunities for both of us. There is an extraordinary opportunity in Texas to develop a stronger relationship with them.�
Parker and dignitaries also discussed opening the doors to educational exchange programs, as well as collaborating on research projects. Parker met with top researchers who are involved with several projects, including stem cell research.
�There is an America-Ukraine alliance, but not so much in Texas,� Parker said. �So this is charting new waters.�

Amsterdam ranked 8th city in Europe on shopping index.
Amsterdam ranked 8th city in Europe on shopping index.
According to the Globe Shopper City Index by the Economist easygoing Amsterdam is one of Europe's most-visited cities. The city boasts UNESCO sites, Golden Age art, scenic canals and interesting cafés. Advantages: The city ranks in the top 5 for shopping prices and ranks 8th in the index overall. Challenges: Dining, hotels and public transport rank in the bottom 10 for cost-effective pricing.
We can't solve the low ranking on dining, hotels and public transport all by ourselves but we can set an example for the rest of Amsterdam. B&B La Festa offers rooms that are cheaper than most hotels but offer all the amenities you would expect of a four-star hotel. Also our Italian restaurant La Festa offers fine fresh dishes for reasonable prices.

Welcome to celebrity status, Joe Flacco.
He's going to Disney World on Monday. And then to New York for an appearance on "The David Letterman Show" before taking part in the Ravens' Super Bowl victory parade Tuesday morning.
When the whirlwind tour stops, he might have enough time to realize what he just accomplished.
"I got about an hour and a half sleep," Flacco said at a press conference at the New Orleans Convention Center 10 hours after he walked off the Superdome turf. "No it hasn't sunk in. It's just a surreal moment. Hopefully in about a week, we can start to wind down and enjoy it."
The even-tempered Flacco denied surprise that he was the Super Bowl MVP.
"I was surprised I got a car," he said of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Flacco, in his fifth season, was presented the Pete Rozelle Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XLVII by commissioner Roger Goodell Monday morning, passing for three touchdowns in the first half as Baltimore built a 21-3 lead in the second quarter.
"It was a dinner we had at a place called Tark's in Baltimore," coach John Harbaugh said of the moment he decided to draft Flacco. "Joe impressed me as a guy who was determined and had a lot to prove. Joe has come up the hard way. ... I just felt like he was a guy who'd do whatever it took to overcome whatever came. And that's proven to be true.
"I think he'll be the same way with his success."
Flacco finished the 2012 playoffs with 11 touchdown passes, tying Joe Montana (1989) and Kurt Warner (2008) for the most by any player in a single postseason.

The professional pilots at Timberview Helicopters ferry passengers high into the clouds aboard a sky-scraping whirlybird during flight tours through Destin, Kansas City, and Key West. Having chartered flights for National Geographic and the Travel Channel, these pilots expertly navigate planes toward sweeping, picturesque views, allowing sightseers to steal glances of Fort Walton Beach, downtown Kansas City, and Key West's ocean views from a perspective normally reserved for birds and astronauts with binoculars. Additionally, their high-definition videos grant guests a lasting commemoration of their in-flight experience. When they're not chartering tours, they teach budding pilots the gravity-defying tricks of their trade through pilot training and lug precious shipments from port to port with their cargo-lifting services.
Cypress Lakes Golf Club's course was designed by William Amick to rise and fall across the natural landscape for 6,396 yards of fairways hugged by gentle waters and towering trees. Unlike most Floridian links, the course unfurls across somewhat mountainous terrain, where cresting hilltops can obscure distant targets, leading to blind shots that aren't just the result of opponents kicking sand in your eyes. Fairways bob and weave around groves of leyland cypress trees, more than 300 crepe myrtle trees, and 500 lush azaleas, giving advantage to players who can work drives and approaches around the arboreal impediments. A circuit of streams ebbs and flows across the picturesque par 71, adding to the native obstacles and striking fear into the caramel hearts of hydrophobic golf balls. A roaming beverage cart slakes midround thirsts, and the club also boasts a driving range with grass hitting areas and a fully stocked pro shop.
Course at a Glance:
- Designed by William Amick
- 18-hole, par 71 course
- Length of 6,396 yards from farthest tees
- Course rating of 70.4 from farthest tees
- Slope rating of 118 from farthest tees
- Four tee options
Under the banner of the Greek word pneuma, which means "breath of God," the instructors at Pneuma Yoga/Movement Studio put a Christian spin on the ancient Hindu practice. Through muslin drapes, gauzy sunlight diffuses throughout the homey studio, alighting on beginners as they meditate through gentle flow yoga's relaxed poses and breath work or advanced practitioners as they scrimmage with their limitations in power yoga's muscle-building exercises. Guests can pop in during their lunch hour for Lunch Bunch sessions, and younger patrons aged 12–18 acquaint themselves with the benefits of the limb-limbering art during Prakasha yoga. Instructors keep class sizes intimate, giving each aspiring yogi enough room to move through mountain poses, sun salutations, and lindy-hop routines.
Emerald Coast Tours' knowledgeable guides champion the bicycle as Pensacola's ideal mode of transport. They strive to serve as ambassadors to city visitors, customizing sightseeing biking tours to suit cyclists' interests and happily recommending travel destinations to patrons seeking daylong rentals. Their shop's single-speed Sun Revolutions cruisers prove ideal for coasting down city streets and laying siege to sand castles along the coastline.
A selection of three family go-kart tracks ensures kids will have an exciting ride suited to their age, size, and ability. The Junior Racers track gets little ones between 4 and 7 behind the wheel of a perfectly sized one-pedal fun machine, and children who meet a 54-inch height requirement get a crack at the challenging curves and bridges of the Crazy 8 or Spinnin' & Grinnin' tracks.
Double-ride karts are available for kids who prefer to be chauffeured by an adult or a demanding imaginary friend. Seasoned weekend golfers get the chance to flaunt their skills for awe-filled offspring of all ages during a nine-hole game of mini golf. At the end of a long day, four buckets of water balloons await at Water Wars, a battleground set amid personal battle stations soon to be littered with the rainbow shrapnel of giggle-filled war. *Inside the game room, players take on arcade-style games for tickets that can be exchanged for prizes at the redemption center. Other visitors, meanwhile, enjoy snack-bar refreshments on a covered patio and celebrate birthdays and jury-duty summonses in the air-conditioned party room.
Run by the adventurers at Wild Native, City Safaris' urban expeditions invite participants to discover the unlikely thrills hidden within some of Mobile's stateliest settings. Whether they're recreating the festive fun of Mardi Gras, exploring downtown's historical haunts, or snooping through the inside of the U.S.S. Alabama and the surrounding grounds at Battleship Park, participants compete with one another while flexing their problem-solving muscles. Since friendly competition often brings out a participant's true nature, Wild Native's adventurers also schedule singles hunts that pair up prospective dates for an evening of strategizing.

Life Events
The Christian Church marks important points in our lives with special services, such as Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, and Confession (sometimes called the 'sacrament of reconciliation). These services are called 'sacraments', because during these services, the actions of the priest or bishop confer God's grace upon the individual to help them in their pilgrimage through life.
Each year at Wymondham Abbey, hundreds of Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals take place, as well as Confirmations. It is our privilege to help people on their Christian journey, and to enable them to mark stages on this journey with services held at the Abbey. To find out more about these 'life events', please click on the appropriate tab on the left hand side of the page.

I really hated turning people away! Thank you all for your interest!!!
Ready, set, let's swap!
When I saw AnneMarie's swaps at Gen X Quilters, I knew she had a great idea. So I decided to host a swap here.
2. Purchase a yard of fabric in your assigned color. No solids please. Take note of the scale of the print as large prints might not be best for charm squares.
Pick something you LOVE!
3. Fabric must be designer label, 100% cotton, quality fabric.
No Hancocks, Joanns or Michael's fabrics.
Press your fabric before cutting. You may want to purchase a slight overage in case you make mistakes cutting your charms.
1 yard = 56 charm squares (5" x 5".)
This is a great tutorial on how to cut fabric into charms by Elizabeth Hartman.
6. Include a 3x5 index card with your name, email address, mailing address, fabric manufacturer and the print name/color. (This information is purely for my organizational swap purposes and won't be shared. Promise!)
Shipping Instructions:
1. Pack your 56 charms and the index card in a sealed ziplock bag and include a self addressed envelop for me to mail your charms back to you.
2. You will receive a Paypal invoice from me for shipping and handling. The $4.00 (USA) rate will cover shipping plus the P.O. Box rental. International shipping and handling will be determined by country.
3. Paypal payments must be made before I will send your swap charms back to you. If you don't have a paypal account, no worries! You can still pay through Paypal with a credit or debit card without having an account. :)
The Fine Print:
Your fabric must be sent to me by Saturday, June 25. Once I receive everyone's fabric I will divide them up and mail your new charms to you within two weeks.
This will be a great way to add a rainbow of color to your charm stash and perhaps the beginning of a great, colorful quilt.
Dominant color fabrics perfect for this swap. |
Non dominant color fabric that is pretty but not right for this swap. |
Leave a comment here to sign up and make sure you include your email address in the comment section.
Grab a blog button if you like and get ready to add some color to your stash.
This will be fun!

Woman beats incurable cancer by developing a healthier mind, body and spirit using Western and Eastern medicine and alternative treatment modalities. Upcoming "Dr. Oz Show" will feature her and her inspiring story.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) January 27, 2013
Forty-two year old Laurie Beck enjoyed a busy life as the successful owner of a Pilates studio, a wife, and mother, but then things took a dramatic turn -- she learned that she had lymphoma and an incurable form of cancer. Today however, nearly seven years after her diagnosis, repeated tests show no signs of cancer in Beck's body.
How did Beck beat cancer? In her inspirational new memoir, I Am Living to Tell, Beck describes her healing journey, which began with her decision not to pursue chemo right away and to practice watchful waiting instead, something her oncologist at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute recommended as long as she felt well. Beck recounts her efforts to heal herself by developing a healthier mind, body and spirit using a combination of Western and Eastern medicine and alternative healing modalities. For example, Beck:
Bottom-line, Beck learned what she had done in her pre-cancer life to create her bad health. Then, she healed herself by making peace with her past, doing everything she could to rid her body of chronic stress, learning to love herself, and believing in her own power.
Anyone struggling with a difficult health challenge will draw strength and inspiration from Beck's healing journey and the lessons she learned about herself and life along the way. To help them pursue their own journeys toward better health, Beck ends her book with a chapter that discusses tips and tools that can help them heal their minds, bodies and spirits.
I Am Living to Tell by Laurie J. Beck, ISBN-10:1475269013, $14.95, can be purchased in soft cover at http://www.lauriebeck.com, at Amazon.com and at other online bookstores.

7 US delegates tell us about their hopes for Terra Madre and International Congress 2012
Slow Food seeks to help us connect to the story behind our food –its cultural and historical context, the politics of its production, and the diversity of our ecosystems and communities. As 2000 delegates from 130 countries prepare to attend Slow Food's Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre and the International Congress in Torino, Italy from October 25th to October 29th, we thought we'd check in with some of our delegates to hear what's on their minds. The delegates we interviewed, like so many others who will be at the global gathering, are the everyday food movement leaders who are "feeding the planet in a good, clean, and fair way", this year's theme for Terra Madre.

Slow Food Connection:My connection to Slow Food is in the work that I do and my colleagues. I work for Oakland Food Policy Council where we work to establish an equitable and sustainable food system. Personally I believe one of the most powerful ways to affect food choice is to awaken, explore and practice one's food heritage. I appreciate the message of Slow Food yet also see an opportunity to bridge the dialogue of food injustice to the message of sustainability.

Age: I am 63 years old but I represent 2 million years of human evolution, 4.5 billion years of Earth evolution and 14 billion years of Universe evolution…so I am as old as dirt!

SAAFON (Southeastern African-American Farmers Organic Network) will host this historic meeting of African and African American farmers at Terra Madre. Never before has a Black grassroots organization had the opportunity to connect to the African diaspora and African Farmers on the Terra Madre global platform.
This global meeting will unite farmers of African descent for a discussion on food access; climate change and its impact on farmer's ability to grow, deforestation, and the importance of maintaining seeds and ancient African growing techniques that continue to thrive in the 21st Century.

Learn about Slow Food Vermont's unique form of governance.
By Deirdra Stockmann, Slow Food USA volunteer
For many of us, mention of Vermont fills our mind with nostalgic visions of verdant hills dotted with small farms and sugarbushes and populated by cheesemakers and seedsavers. Of course, there is much more to Vermont than fall colors, maple syrup and artisanal cheese. But according to the chapter leaders I talked to, most of whom are also farmers or chefs, Vermont's food culture and identity has only been growing stronger in recent years. This is great news for the state, and for Slow Food Vermont. The only trouble is that movement is so pervasive that it is hardly possible for the chapter to connect with all of the passionate growers, producers and eaters who want to be a part of it. Hardly possible. Over the last year, the Vermont chapter found a way to empower leaders, build networks, and expand its reach
The challenge
Leaders in Vermont agree that the slow food philosophy, the commitment to growing and supporting local food traditions and economies, runs deep in the veins of many Vermonters. There is a lot of interest in Slow Food Vermont's full calendar of classes, tastings and potlucks. But over the last few years, local leaders became increasingly aware of a major barrier to engaging with current and potential members and friends of Slow Food in Vermont: geography.
Slow Food Vermont is based in Burlington, which makes sense because it is the state's largest city (pop. 42,417). About one in three Vermonters lives in the greater Burlington area as do 60 percent of the Slow Food Vermont members. There is a strong critical mass of active members who help plan and participate in the chapter's many activities. And yet, two thirds of the Vermont population, and 40 percent of chapter members are spread throughout the state's many other small cities and towns and in every hill and valley.

Slow Food leaders from Maine describe the unique partnership that has made Maine what it is today, a Slow Food mecca for chefs, growers/producers, farmers, and anyone who loves good food.
Written by Michael Sanders, co-founder of Portland, ME's Slow Food chapter
People "from away"—out-of-staters—often ask me, What's up with Maine? How has such a cold and far away place grown such a vibrant food scene replete with farmers, fishermen, crazy-mad chefs and their restaurants, and farmers' markets?
The answer is not so simple. First, Maine is a land of surprises. It has a coastline longer than England's, more organic farms per capita than California, and a terrifyingly short growing season of just 125 precious frost-free days. Making the most of what we can wrest from the soil or fish from the sea or forage from the woods, this is what Mainers have always done, a rich tradition that, today, feeds the state's vibrant and ever-evolving food scene, from our farmers' market to our dinner and restaurant tables.

The Nopal Cactus, native to the Mojave Desert, has been used for generations as a food source with multiple uses and benefits that may surprise you.
Written by Robert Morris, co-founder of Slow Food Las Vegas and former Professor Emeritus from the University of Nevada
If you were to pair cactus with other foods you might want to consider pairing it with limes and paprika. This is a popular pairing in Mexico with the cactus food called nopalitos where Opuntia ficus-indica, the prickly pear or nopal cactus, is native. In the popular literature you might think that this cactus was native to Italy since this plant gets much more play there as a food than where it grows natively, the inland deserts of Central Mexico.
However, Mexicans have enjoyed this food in many prepared forms for centuries. In respect for its place of origin, I prefer to use the Mexican terms for the edible portions of the plant: tunas (fruit), nopales (immature whole cactus pads for eating) and nopalitos (cactus pads that have been prepared for eating or cooking).
In 2003, I established nopal cactus plots at the University Orchard located at the Center for Urban Horticulture and Water Conservation in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Faculty and my good friends at the University of Sonora-Hermosillo, Mexico (USON) donated cactus pads from USON's agricultural farm just outside of Hermosillo and taught us how to plant and manage their production.

Lester & Linda L'Hoste have been working to preserve the organic Ark of Taste satsuma on their citrus farm in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and now Isaac.
Written by Poppy Tooker, former leader of Slow Food New Orleans
On August 29th, exactly seven years from the day that Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding area, a new storm blew in. Isaac was not expected to be much of a storm event as it came onshore as a mere category one.
Lester and Linda L'Hoste, organic citrus farmers in Braithwaite, LA and Crescent City Farmers Market vendors did not evacuate. As lifelong residents of Southern Louisiana, they had ridden out many a storm and believed this one was just going to bring a small amount of wind and rain.
The family enjoyed dinner together and Linda had spent the evening baking cookies before losing power about 10 pm. At 2 am Lester's phone rang with the news that the levees were in danger of being overtopped and that they needed to evacuate. The water was rising quickly as the L'Hostes joined fifty other Braithwaite families trying to get out. Soon, it became apparent that it was too late as water rushed over the top of the levee reaching the floorboard of the truck, trapping them there.
Many Slow Food USA members will remember the L'Hostes from efforts made after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. At that time, chapters across the country came together in countless ways to help farmers, fishers and chefs of Louisiana rebuild the local food system following Hurricane Katrina's devastation. That fall, the U.S. Ark of Taste committee sprang into action boarding several indigenous Gulf Coast foods suddenly endangered in the storm's aftermath including the satsuma.

China has announced that it will increase duties on some U.S.-made vehicles. The Ministry of Commerce in Beijing says it will levy "anti-dumping" duties on all U.S. imports with engines larger than 2.5 liters. It's just the latest volley in an ongoing tariff war with China.

This month, read the free preview of Cactus's Secret. Prickly Miku Yamada has a serious crush on her classmate Kyohei, but he's far too oblivious to pick up on her signals.

Are you basking in the glow of a happy Valentine's Day gone by or are you still picking yourself up off the floor? Or, did you conscientiously object to the event all together?
Whatever your take, there's a manga to support your stance. To help you out, members of our trusty Shojo Beat team offered up some reading recommendations.
From Pancha Diaz, Nana editor
High School Debut is very pro-Valentine's. It's about the sweetness of new love.
Nana is totally anti-Valentine's. It's all about how romantic relationships let you down, and how friends are the ones who are really there for you. (Nana vol. 1 to 7 are rated T+. Subsequent volumes of Nana are rated Mature.)
From Annette Roman, Sand Chronicles editor
Sand Chronicles is pro-Valentine's Day, yet realistic and sane. Grown women at VIZ Media can still relate to it! It's about really loving and being loved, not just crushing out on each other…
Compare your love life to Honey and Clover ... No matter how bad it seems, I bet it's not as complicated, convoluted, and unrequited!....
From Amy Mar, marketing coordinator
Anti Valentine's: Skip•Beat. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Kyoko will do anything for sweet revenge on the man who threw her away like a used tissue.
Valentine's: Ouran High School Host Club. Why limit yourself to one man when you can have a whole Host Club at your service?
From Amy Yu, Monkey High editor
Check out Monkey High vol. 3 if you want to read about Haruna and Macharu's crazy V-Day!
From Julie Behn, sales and marketing department
Love•Com vol. 2. Risa Koizumi is completely pro-Valentine's Day, but when she really wants to give chocolates to that annoying shrimp Atsushi Otani, who always teases her, ...she wishes she wasn't!
Otomen. Of course Asuka Masamune is pro-Valentine's Day! It's the perfect excuse to make lots of cute stuffed animals, bake cakes, and watch romantic movies!! And did he mention all the flowers!
Sand Chronicles vol. 4. Daigo Kitamura used to be a true romantic, but after breaking up with his childhood sweetheart, there's no reason to pretend Valentine's Day is fun anymore. Put him on the anti-Valentine's Day list because if that love didn't last, how could anyone's?
From Lex Scheuble, online marketing manager
Ouran High School Host Club, because I'm so Haruhi. It's got the best of both worlds: you get that warm mushy feeling when you see people get together, but then you look at the actual host club characters themselves and how yes, they're sorta love dysfunctional, and I just want them to soooooo work... Oh...Shojo. I want my own host club.
I also like Crimson Hero for Valentine's Day. Volleyball and kimonos rock.
Check out Shojo Beat's free iTunes bonus! Buy the Honey and Clover, Season 1, Vol. 2 pass and get episode F as a free download. That's the 13th episode free when you buy the 12 dubbed episodes in Season 1, Vol. 2. Picking up where Honey and Clover, Season 1, Vol. 1 left off, your favorite art-school students are back for more adventures. Shinobu heads to America. Takumi becomes obsessed with Nomiya's and Ayumi's relationship, and Yuta goes on the ride of his life. There's lots more. Watch all 13 episodes with the Season 1, Vol. 2 pass.
Please submit a suggestion or a comment - we would love to hear from you!
Thank you!

For four weeks, thousands of school bus drivers and chaperones have been on strike to stop the city from signing new bus contracts without seniority protections.
But on Tuesday, the city moved one step closer to doing just that. Officials publicly read bids from 65 different school bus companies, competing for the very work that the strikers had hoped to prevent.
"We had a competitive process for the first time in 33 years, so that's what we've been striving for," said Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott.
The contracts represent more than 1,100 of the city's 7,700 school bus routes. It was divided into 32 jobs, based on the type of school buses needed and the geographic area.
Some of the 65 companies bid on every job. Others bid on just one or two.
It's required that the city reads every offer out loud, as David Ross of the Department of Education explained, "so that everyone hears at the same time what the different companies have bid."
It took more than six hours Tuesday.
"We're hoping that they consider and that they stop the bid so we don't lose our jobs," said one striking worker.
"We don't want a raise. We don't want a penny," said another. "All we want is job protection. That's why we're here. That's why we're striking."
It's too early to tell if, or how much, money the city may save by putting the contracts out to bid. The offers varied widely, and officials now need to check that the companies can deliver what they've promised and conduct background checks, including possible ties to organized crime, which has tainted the school bus industry in the past.
"We'll be doing our due diligence in taking a look at the various types of qualifications for these companies," Walcott said.
The contracts were supposed to start in September, but after the strike began, the city moved the potential start date forward. Officials said they're willing to work with companies that can get buses rolling with drivers and chaperones who are not on strike as soon as possible.
Walcott said that he hopes the union will decide to end the strike soon, because even with most drivers on the picket line, the city is determined to move forward with the new bus contracts.
