National Day of Mourning – Saturday, April 28, 2018
The National Day of Mourning is observed annually in Canada on April 28 to honour those who have lost their lives while working on the job. The purpose of the National Day of Mourning is two-fold … to remember and honour those lives lost or injured and to renew the commitment to improving health and safety in the workplace … to prevent further deaths, injuries and diseases from work.
Every year workers, families, employers, communities and others come together at ceremonies held around the province and the country to remember those who have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational disease, and to renew their commitment to creating safe workplaces. Since its inception, the observance has spread to over 80 countries around the world, but is known in most other countries as the Workers' Memorial Day.
The Canadian flag on Parliament Hill is typically flown at half-mast on April 28, and workers and employees observe this day in various ways including observing moments of silence.
To mark our school district's commitment in observance of the National Day of Mourning on April 28, Coast Mountains School District flags will be lowered to half-mast on Friday afternoon, April 27 and raised on Monday, April 30 prior to the start of school.
For more information, please visit the BC Day of Mourning website at dayofmourning.bc.ca.
Important Information for CMSD82 Employees re: SmartFindExpress Changes
Dear CMSD82 Employee,
On March 23, 2018 SmartFindExpress performed an update which has led to some on-call employees receiving calls but being unable to connect to the system.
Included in the update is the following new feature as shared by SmartFindExpress:
- We have a new option that is not turned on for your district. The option will need the sub to only enter their pin, and there is a playback to verify what was entered. This new option has helped reduce many invalid entry phone issues for the subs.
- You will want to notify the subs that when the system calls they will just need to enter in their pin only. The system will play back the digits received and then they can confirm or re-enter.
SmartFindExpress believes that turning on this feature will resolve the issues of on-call employees being unable to connect.
Important Notations:
- Effective April 6, 2018 after morning call-out we will activate this feature.
- Beginning the evening call-out on April 8 onward you will only need to enter your PIN and * to log in to SmartFindExpress
Should you experience any issues, please include as much information as possible (date, time, job number, nature of the issue) and email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have questions or you require immediate assistance, please contact Richard Anderson, Automated Dispatch Help Desk Clerk at 250-638-4439 or 1-855-635-4931, Local 4439 between the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Last Friday, the B.C. government announced a change to BC's Family Day. Starting in 2019, BC's Family Day will move to the third Monday in February (instead of the second Monday of February).
In light of this announcement, the proposed 2018-2019 School Calendar was revised to reflect the BC Family Day date change effective 2019. As a result of this date change, the Curriculum Implementation Day scheduled on February 22 was rescheduled to February 15. The revised school calendar also reflects the June 21 National Indigenous Peoples Day, noting this is a Regular Day of Instruction.
Coast Mountains Board of Education School District 82 is seeking public feedback regarding the "revised" 2018-2019 Proposed School Calendar. If you have completed the initial survey, much appreciated if you could complete the survey again as it has been changed to reflect the revised school calendar information.

New Ministry Website Tool for Students and Parents will Track Achievements in Education
BC's Ministry of Education announced a new smartphone and tablet-friendly website will provide interactive information about student outcomes to make it easier for parents and students, as well as school districts, to understand and use information that will enhance education for students.
By this fall, information about individual schools will be available to give parents a better understanding about how their child's school is doing across the district. Right now, access to measures of student success, such as grade to grade transitions, completion rates, foundation skills assessment results and other outcomes, in all districts is available to compare the data with the latest trends and provincial averages.
On the website, school district by school district reports are now available in easy-to-read and interactive formats, giving parents a better understanding of their school district's strengths and areas for continuous improvements, as well as B.C.'s education system as a whole. Information contained in these reports also includes community and student demographics, post-secondary and career preparation, as well as student satisfaction.
The website works on smartphones, tablets and computers of all kinds and is easily accessible at:
For more information, please reference the following Ministry of Education's announcement:
Additional information will be forthcoming to school districts from the Ministry of Education regarding this exciting and helpful initiative for students and parents.

I've got to see these ELITE SQUAD movies. Earlier this month we learned that the director of the successful Brazilian action dramas, Jose Padilha, was negotiating with MGM to direct their ROBOCOP reboot. Now it would seem as though one of the stars of the flicks, Wagner Moura, is getting his shot at Hollywood fame as well.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Moura has been cast as a "powerful" villain in Neill Blomkamp's DISTRICT 9 follow-up, ELYSIUM. The character is described as having a crazy sense of humor, but not much else is known beyond that.
If everything goes according to plan, Moura will star alongside Matt Damon, Jodie Foster (who isn't 100% confirmed yet) and Sharlto Copley in ELYSIUM, which is tentatively due to come out in a late 2012. While we know the film will be set 100 years into the future, and has a price tag of about $120 million, there's not much else to go on. I'm just happy it's actually moving forward and the news is starting to flow in.

FLO Cycling - 2016 Bike for a Kid Update
Posted by FLO Cycling at Thursday, April 07, 2016 Labels: Bike for a Kid , en , FLO News
Bike for a Kid (BFAK) has been a part of FLO Cycling since the beginning. Originally, the program was funded by the sale of ceramic bearing wheel sets. To date, each and every time we sold a set of ceramic bearing wheels, we bought a bike and helmet for a less fortunate child. The end of 2015 marked a special milestone for Bike for a Kid. We donated our 1,000th bike during our bike drop at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.
|Bike Drop in Kona, Hawaii
The Changes
With the release of our new wheel line this year, we discontinued the sale of our TPI ceramic bearings. We couldn't prove a performance gain by using the ceramic bearings, and decided to only sell wheels with Japanese EZO stainless steel bearings. We've had great success with these bearings over the years and have found they perform exceptionally well.
The obvious question becomes, how will our Bike for a Kid program be funded in the future? The answer is simple. We are now donating 1% of all wheel sales towards BFAK. This may sound like a small percentage, but our financial contribution to BFAK will increase by making this change.
Where will we be donating bikes and helmets this year?
As many of you know, we have partnered with More than Sport (MTS). MTS helps organize our bike drops by finding build sites, volunteers, and the less fortunate children who receive the bikes and helmets. To cut down on costs, we decided it would be best to have two larger donations at key Ironman events this season. Our first Bike for a Kid event will take place at the Ironman 70.3 US Championships in St. George, and our second event will take place at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. At each event, we will be sharing expo space with MTS, and building bikes for several days leading up to the races. Expo attendees are encouraged to take 5-10 minutes and build a bike for a kid. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by!
I'll leave you with our new Bike for a Kid video and a few pictures highlighting Bike for a Kid events in 2015.
Have a great day,
Have a great day,

Imperial Democracy
Program #ROYA004. Recorded in New York, NY on May 13, 2003.
Hey! Step right up. Want some democracy? We got a great new brand right here on the shelf ready to go. Seal-wrapped straight from the factory. And we'll get it to you through the barrel of a gun. Shipping and handling is on us. US imperialism, like its predecessors, is based on the moral right to rule. In a newly packaged version of manifest destiny and white man's burden, America is delivering democracy to the benighted and bedraggled masses. The empire is rooted in the near-theological conviction that American values, whatever that might be, are good for the world. In fact, the Bush administration has declared, with a hubris that would make Roman emperors blush, that its vision for the rest of the planet is the only sustainable model. Emanating from Washington is a series of diktats telling other countries: Follow orders or else.

Unfortunately, the BWOF men's sizes go only up to a 42.5" chest--about the equivalent of a men's Large in RTW. David's extremely broad shoulders alone usually call for an XXL, so I knew that actually sewing one of these garments would present a bit of a challenge. I'd have to grade up at least two sizes to get a decent fit with any of these patterns.
I chose the hoodie pattern as my first experiment in pattern grading. For the most part, I followed the method recommended by Threads magazine. I traced all of the pattern pieces (all 13 of them), and held them up to David to figure out how much I'd need to add where. I then split the main body pieces along the lines shown in the article (neck, shoulder, side seam, etc) and added the appropriate amount at each slash line.
Once I felt that I was going to get a decent fit through the shoulders and back, I used the alteration method described in Off the Cuff for a prominent abdomen to get enough ease through the abdomen area.
On top of some of the fitting challenges that this project provided, it also required that I tackle welt pockets for the first time. I'm not particularly happy with how these turned out in the final hoodie, so I won't show a closeup of them, but each practice try turned out a little better, so I'm pretty confident that after a few garments with these, I'll get them looking decent.
Of course, the big thing with this hoodie that I'm proud of is the fit. It's not tight or pulling anywhere...and it's not baggy (and therefore pound adding), which is more than I can say of most things in David's closet.
The top-stitching on this took forever. Or maybe after recently finishing a pair of jeans, I'm just really burned out on top-stitching. I think it adds a really great detail, though, and really elevates this from your standard hoodie. I think I need to add a snap or two to keep the top pocket flaps from flying up, but it's not an urgent alteration.
Overall, I think the pattern grading experiment was a success. There's another sweatshirt/jacket (a non-hoodie) in the same issue that uses the same body pattern pieces, so after all of the fitting work that I did on this, you can bet that I'll be making up that view, too.

LLCs AND CHOICE OF ENTITY—THE BIG PICTURE
Every LLC lawyer will agree that the most important threshold task in forming LLCs is a task often referred to as "choice of entity." In the months and years to come, this blog will address dozens of choice-of entity issues.
But the key fact you have to realize before you undertake any choice-of-entity analysis is that there is, technically, no such thing. Rather, choice of entity requires three types of analyses, each of which is entirely different from the others. When you're doing choice-of-entity, you should, to the extent of your competence, do all three analyses and then, if there are any conflicts among them, reconcile these conflicts.
To explain:
- Non-tax choice of entity. The first type of choice-of-entity analysis is non-tax choice of entity. This is the process by which lawyers choose the best type of business organization for their clients on non-tax grounds—mainly on business organization law grounds. The key types of business organizations are sole proprietorships, divisions, general partnerships, limited partnerships, corporations and LLCs. The key issues are, for most clients, (1) Does the client need a liability shield? (2) If so, which type of organization will provide the client with the best shield? (3) Does the client need the special statutory business asset protections referred to by LLC lawyers as charging order protections? (4) If so, should the client obtain these protections through a general partnership, a limited partnership or an LLC? (Most corporate statutes don't provide charging order protections.)
- Choosing the right federal income tax regimen for federal income tax purposes. The second is choice of federal income tax regimen for federal income tax purposes. The relevant regimens are disregarded entity taxation and Subchapters C, K and S. Key issues include: (1) Which regimen will provide the client with the lowest tax rate? (2) Which will provide the client with the greatest flexibility in deploying and redeploying business assets?
- Choosing the right federal income tax regimen for Social Security Tax purposes. The third is choice of federal income tax regimen for Social Security Tax purposes. The relevant regimens are those listed above, but the relevant issues are entirely different from federal income tax issues. In addition, you won't find the key authority in this field in the Internal Revenue Code or even in a final regulation—it's a little-known but remarkably powerful IRS proposed regulation designated Prop. Reg. § 1.1402(a)-2.
Understanding these three types of analyses in detail takes a lot of study and experience; but the best place to start in understanding them is with the Big Picture. The Big Picture is in the three bullet points above.

This advice is aimed mainly at two or three categories of people.
Firstly, this is an advice to those who are already affected by this fitnah, so that it may serve as a mirror to see their own faults, and they may then seek to rectify them by Allaah's permission. We believe that there could be amongst them those who are sincere, but have fallen prey to this fitnah out of ignorance, so we hope for them that they are guided.
And as for those who choose to be stubborn and reject sincere advice, we warn them to fear Allaah and His punishment, as they are playing with the deen of Allaah.
Finally, this is also an advice to Ahlus Sunnah in general so that they can be aware of this danger that lurks within them; so that they can know the signs by which the people of this deviation can be recognized, and save themselves and others from falling into this fitnah, by Allaah's aid an permission.
Important: The intent of this advice is to identify a problem/disease and to treat it in the best manner, and this is from having concern and mercy for one another. So let us look into our own selves and correct ourselves if required. And let us refrain from saying "so and so was intended by this advice", as this kind of speech does not bring about benefit and promotes chaotic behavior.

Let's face it, most men won't be jumping at the chance to help choose table linens or china patterns for your wedding reception. Many men will even have trouble remembering to pick up their tuxes. There is no one size fits all solution to getting your husband to be involved in planning your wedding. It can be overwhelming feeling like you are going it alone. Here are some tips to help you get your groom involved in planning the happiest day of your lives.
- K.I.S.S.- Keep it short and simple. Simply put, open ended questions and complicated decisions are likely to send your husband to be scrambling for the door. Be direct about how you want him to get involved and place choices before him. Say "do you like the red or the pink to go with the white tablecloths?", not "What color would you like to pair with the white tablecloths?".
- Hand him a calculator.- If your husband to be is a whiz at math get him to handle your wedding budget. After the two of you set a budget and decide what will be sent where have him keep track of the details. Hand him your receipt and ask for his help finding places you can save money t cover where you may have overspent. Purchase a program like quicken or show him a budgeting tool on your favorite wedding site. Many men will like being in charge of the money and feeling like they have a handle on something tangible like how much debt they will be in after the wedding.
- Let him bargain- Is your groom a top notch negotiator? Get him to seal the deal when you have chosen vendors. See what extras he can get negotiated into the price of your contract. Make sure he gets the deal put in writing and get excited when he gets prices lowered or extras thrown into your deals.
- Give him tips -On the day of the wedding put your guy in charge of tipping the vendors. Have him make the tip envelopes or make them yourself. Once again your guy gets to be in charge of a money situation and personally thank all the people who did so much hard work to make your day special.

10Nov2012: Breaking the Barriers to Zero Waste
Breaking the Barriers to Zero Waste: The Role of the Community
Join us to end waste through community action.
This conference will bring together people from across the UK to understand how we can work together to change the way we think about "waste" and to challenge the systems that create it. Whilst we still need to change our waste habits, it's hard to zero our waste when many areas don't have good kerbside collections, there is a mountain of packaging on our food and wall-to-wall adverts urging us to buy. Where are the main areas that the community can make a difference? What works? And how we can make more impact by working together through community action.
Zero Waste Alliance UK Conference and AGM, 11.00- 3pm Saturday 10th November
Greenpeace, Canonbury Villas, Islington, London N1 2PN
The conference will be followed by a short AGM to which all are welcome.

But guess what?! I'm married!! And I had one of the most beautiful weddings, it was more than I could have ever hoped for.. and then some! Believe me, y'all will get to see pictures (and videos) as soon as I get some from the photographer. For now though, I thought I'd share some pictures from our honeymoon.. because lets face it, I haven't even been trying to get dressed in the mornings, a t-shirt and shorts are all I need right now.
Married life is pretty much the best thing ever, and I'm not gonna lie, not having to go home every night has been one of my favorite things because it's something we had been doing almost every night for seven years. I'll have many more photos and stories as soon as I can. I've missed all of y'all so much, and I'm ready to get caught up on everyone! (yeah.. I have over 1000 unread posts on my bloglovin', holy crap..) I'd like to give a special thanks to all of the amazing ladies that guest posted for me on the week of my honeymoon, y'all are the best and I'm so blessed to have such an amazing group of bloggy ladies! Hope you all enjoyed them as much as I did!
Hope everyone has a great start to their week! Curtis and I are starting summer classes today..boo.

COLUMBIANA, Alabama - During conversations Tuesday night about changes to various positions in the municipality, the Columbiana City Council agreed to create a marketing and public relations job to grow and help community business and events.
"In my mind this person will be a full-time employee who will be public relations for this city and small business and light industry recruiter," Mayor Stancil Handley said about the position recommended by the municipality's policy committee. "We surely need all of that."
Handley envisions the position would coordinate city events including Liberty Day, Cowboy Day and the farmers market, while also boosting the community's presence online through Columbiana's website and Facebook page.
"You know what public relations and marketing strategies we've got now?" the mayor asked, eliciting a response the city has none. "You've got it and that can't continue. ... This is going to be a big task."
Funding for the newly created position will come from the vacancy created by last June's death of Hilry King, who had been the city's public works director. The city has not filled the position since King's death and may do away with the job with its responsibilities distributed to other employees.
"The sooner we get this position created, the sooner we can hire somebody for this position" to start helping the city, Handley said. "To me, the sooner we can do this the better off the City of Columbiana will be."
Council member Ouida Mayfield supported the new job and made the motion to create the position. "I feel like this position is needed within our city," she said before making the motion, which received unanimous support.
"I agree with what I've looked at on this job description. I think the position is needed," council member Leslie Whiting said.
Council member Ricky Ruston questioned the funding for the position and the public's perception of creating a marketing coordinator for the city. "How is this going to be perceived to the public?" he asked.
Handley responded that if the individual does the job correctly, "I can't see that would not be a positive perception."
The newly created role also generated support from the audience at the meeting.
"We would love to have this person work with us strategically. It's something we've never had," said Andrew Moore, a business owner and member of the Columbiana Merchants and Professionals Association. "We feel like it's a very good investment for the long term."
Included in the position's job description are responsibilities with developing marketing and public relations strategies, as well as materials and developing and enhancing events for the city.
"We all like Liberty Day, we all think it's great, but there are two to three people that are getting worked to death," Handley said. "If we're going to have these events and more events, we're going to have to have a city employee involved."
City Clerk Gina Antolini said she and two full-time employees in her office work on Liberty Day while also juggling other day-to-day responsibilities. "We all enjoy doing it but that's one thing that would free up some time for other things that we can do in the office," she said.
Antolini also has been doing the city's website and Facebook page, which she said has been "somewhat neglected" due to a lack of time.
Mayfield noted Liberty Day is lacking a key organizer. "Another individual raises a majority of money for Liberty Day ... and he's no longer with us," she said.
The new job would also attract businesses to Columbiana and work with real estate and commercial developers, according to the job description.
The mayor would interview candidates and provide his hiring recommendation to council members for their support. The individual hired for the position would work under a probationary term of one year.

Energy Saving Tips: Home Appliances
Individuals in the market for new appliances are often guided to purchase Energy Star rated units, but if you are not in the market for new appliances, or you don't have the money to run out and buy something new, review these simple energy saving tips. By using your home appliances efficiently, you can lower your electricity usage without adding more work for yourself or others.
Oven and Stove
• Consider using a microwave instead of a conventional oven whenever possible.
• Cook several dishes simultaneously in the oven.
• While cooking, avoid "peeking� by opening the oven door. Each "peek� can lower the oven temperature.
• Use the smallest burner necessary to do the job. Match your pan size to the burner size. For example, a 6″ pan on an 8″ burner can waste over 40% of the heat produced by the burner.
Refrigerators & Freezers
• Make sure your refrigerator and freezer are not running too cold. The temperature in your refrigerator should be at 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit, and the freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Open refrigerator/freezer doors only when necessary.
• Make sure the seals on your refrigerator, freezer and oven doors fit tightly. Easily perform this test by leaving a lit flashlight inside a closed appliance and if you see light around the gasket, replace the gasket.
• Keep refrigerator coils (on the back or the bottom of the appliance) clean.
Clothes Washers & Dryers
• Use lower temperature settings on your washing machine, preferably the cold water cycle, and only use cold for rinses. The temperature of the rinse water does not affect cleaning.
• Load the washing machine to capacity. Washing one large load will take less energy than washing two loads on a low or medium setting. When you don't have a full load, match the water level to the size of the load.
• Dry full loads when possible, but be careful not to overfill the dryer, because air needs to circulate around the clothes.
• Don't over-dry clothes that you are going to iron. Take clothes out of the dryer while they are still slightly damp to reduce the need for ironing—another big energy user.
• If you have room, you can also hang your clothes out to dry.
• Clean the dryer filter after each use. A clogged filter will restrict airflow and reduce dryer performance.
• Operate your dishwasher at full capacity. And if the manufacturer's instructions permit, open the door of the dishwasher at the end of the last rinse cycle, rather than using the drying cycle.
Water Heaters
• Set your water heater thermostat at the lowest temperature that provides you with sufficient hot water. If you use a lot of hot water, you may need to set the temperature higher to provide enough hot water for your needs.
• Wrap your water heater with a water heater blanket, especially if it's in an unheated area of your home.

At this moment, Rachael's alseep on my bed. She's had a very busy morning with Grandma. It's rare at the moment for her to sleep without being attached to someone, but she was so tired she fell to sleep there right after her feed when I put her down so I could go to the toilet. She's just been sleeping very lightly during the day at the moment, so putting her into the cot wakes her up, and she won't go back to sleep. She's also refusing to go back to sleep in her own bed after feeds overnight, so we give up eventually, and bring her back to our bed so we can get some sleep ourselves.
No particular news eating-wise. Most of the time she still likes to eat very little. Sometimes it stresses me out, othertimes I'm more happy to let her decide. At the moment, Rachael has a thing for anything potato, as well as biscuits. Anything green veg is way off the radar. It does concern me that she may not be getting enough iron from solids, I have to take a iron suppliment on top of my pregnancy/feeding multivitamin or I feel like I've been run over my a truck, and we tend to have iron issues in the family, but she just plain old won't eat them. She's oven gone off her meat obsession, which is odd. And of course, she can't live on biscuits (even though she'd like to give it a shot I'm sure), not a good thing. It does help my mind somewhat though that she's still breastfeeding. Don't tell her it's nutritious, she's blissfully unaware of the fact. I know through this that she's still getting some amount of nutrients. There has been suggestion that if I weaned her, she'd eat better. There's no way to know, but I sort of get the feeling she'd eat larger quantities, but I don't think it'd affect her variety. I don't see her suddenly accepting broccoli just because she doesn't get milk.
Rachael didn't really get the point of Christmas gifts. She wasn't even particually keen on the wrapping paper. She did get some lovely gifts though, her favourite at the moment is probably her broom.
Rachael is really starting to get into toddler mode. Things she's not allowed to do or have fustrate her, so she gets angry. On the other hand, she can be incredible cute at times. We have been reminded that she watches everything we do; A few days ago I decided to take her to the swimming pool, so put my bathers on. Since I had just had my shower, Rachael knows part of my routine is to put on my underwear (shocking, I know ;). She seems to have decided that I forgot to do it, so got a clean pair of underwear out of my drawer, and tried to put them over my feet. I obligingly put them on, and had to take them off again when she wasn't looking.

Hope for new TB treatment
By BBC News Online's Damian Carrington
The system of chemical signals used by the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) has been discovered and may help scientists create future vaccines.
Professor Mike Young, of the University of Wales at Aberystwyth, was studying bacteria related to TB when he discovered that they produce a chemical "alarm call" that rouses other bacteria of that species from dormancy.
Speaking at the British Association's Festival of Science in Sheffield, UK, Professor Young said: "The protein is not just a wake-up call but also a growth factor for the bacteria."
Because all 4,000 genes of the TB bacterium have been sequenced, Professor Young could immediately see that the TB bug produces five growth factor proteins with similar properties.
Possible targets
He sees a number of attractive possibilities that could result from further investigation of these proteins, though none are likely to reach fruition in the near future.
A further, apparently alarming, suggestion by Professor Young is that the proteins could be used to wake up a dormant infection. The reason this could be beneficial is that dormant TB often flares up when a person's immune system is weak, as in old age or due to the development of Aids.
Forcing the bacteria into an active state while a person is otherwise healthy would allow the bugs to be attacked by drugs and cleared.
Tuberculosis affects more people than Aids and malaria combined. The disease is expected to kill 40 million people over the next 20 years if a vaccine is not found.
